Ok my wife officially thinks I'm crazy. I recently purchased a whole bunch of different air mattresses. We're talking slightly more than a thousand dollars worth. Before you start thinking I'm crazy too give me just a second to explain. I'm sure you have been researching air mattresses, and that's probably what led you here. I have been too. I'm not very satisfied with the websites that we have available, or the validity of they're review. I'm really not sure if they have ever slept on one of they're "top picks" because I slept on it and I really didn't like it. I literally bought an air mattress that was recommended on another reveiw site that they said was the best, and it was terrible. It ticked me off enough to spend $1000 on airbeds to show that other guy how to recommend an airbed. I tried a bunch of them. I am only going to write about the mattresses I like, and I'm going to tell you about my favorite first.
My "Top Pick" is the SoundAsleep Dream Series Air Mattress
Read Reviews for this Air Mattress
PACKAGING: The air mattress with built-in pump arrived well packaged in a large, sturdy, cardboard box with the company logo. As the air mattress itself is heavy I appreciated the durable cardboard support and inner cardboard lining which preventing me from slicing into the mattresses when opening the package. I have made that mistake in the past.
TOP UP: All air mattresses stretch over the initial few inflations. My first night with the product I feel as though the PVC stretched slightly, but not nearly as much as other brands I have used in the past – perhaps 5% at most. Nonetheless, the first night I needed a small top-off from the built-in pump for about 10 seconds to get back to my desired firmness.
MOTOR: This air mattress with the built-in pump is very user friendly compared to other models I have used over the years. The electric cord plugs into any standard wall unit and inflates quickly. I have timed the inflation at exactly 4 minutes. I tested this inflation over 4 separate cycles, and each one reached my firmness level in the same time. I have slept on other brands (Intex) that inflate in 3 minutes but that brand continuously leaks air over the course of the night. The Soundasleep motor is foolproof in its simplicity. A clockwise turn inflates the mattress and a counterclockwise turn deflates the mattress. They claim the motor is quieter than other brands. While this may be true, the motor still generates a moderate amount of noise when inflating, comparable, yet slightly quieter than a vacuum.
CONSTRUCTION: The manufacturer describes the mattress as standard queen sized, and after using my trusty measuring tape, I found this to be accurate." The top of the mattress has an extra layer of material which has a micro fiber feel. Standard queen sized sheets fit on the mattress decently well, although after continued use I noticed them starting to fall off. The 40 coil air beam construction adds smooth and comfortable support. These are not real coils like a traditional mattress but the points in the mattress where the material is welded together. The air mattress remained very flat all night without any bulging or sinking in particular areas.
COMFORT: This mattress has now been slept on 4 times – twice alone until my traditional mattress was delivered, once with my wife, and once by a friend. The mattress exceeded my comfort expectations. The 19-inch height made it feel like I was sleeping on a traditional box spring bed, rather than an air mattress on the floor. The mattress top added softness and made it much more comfortable to sleep on throughout the night. While sleeping alone, the mattress dropped very marginally towards the middle but it was not severe at all like I have experienced with other brands. While sleeping with my wife on the mattress it remained really firm through the night. The mattress is made for both single sleepers and couples. The max weight is 500 pounds. My wife and I top out at 300 pounds and felt like it could have easily supported twice as much weight.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT: Soundasleep offers a full year guarantee. I have not had a chance to use the customer support but will update this review if/when I do attempt to contact the company.
PRICE: The air mattress sells for a little over one hundred dollars which is over $75 cheaper than much lower quality products in the big box stores. I saw a Queen sized air mattress in Bed Bath for $250 and couldn't believe the price tag. I do not understand how Soundasleep is making money on such an excellent product at this price point, but their loss is our gain.
WHO COULD USE THIS: Anyone who is tired of going to Target, Sears, Bed Bath or Kmart and spending a lot of money on an inferior product. This air mattress is queen sized so it would likely not work for you if you are space constrained and have a small apartment. If you have the room for a queen, then this mattress is the best there is. It works well with singles as well as couples and probably even pets. It is clearly designed for indoor home use and not for camping. If you are looking for a camping mattress there are a number of other products better suited specifically for this activity.
BOTTOM LINE: This mattress is a no brainer for someone looking for a quality product. There might be slightly cheaper air mattresses out there but I have bought those in the past and always been disappointed. The Soundasleep Dream Series with ComfortCoil technology is a keeper. I highly recommend it! I reviewed this bed on Amazon as well to further support the company. I feel if we want companies to continue to have high quality standards then we need to support the ones that still think it's important.

The next best: The Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam airbed
Read Reviews for this Air Mattress on Amazon.com
This airbed is a very good buy if you are looking for a good air bed for an affordable price. It has a number of features that will ensure that it offers very good comfort that you would expect from an air mattress. It has a built in pump and Fiber-Tech construction ensures a flat and firm surface and will provide you and your guests with a good night's sleep. I was able to inflate quickly, and includes a bag to store it in.
I like the Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam airbed because it is very easy to set up and use and is very comfortable. Its built in pump will air up the bed in less than five minutes and a flocked top is surprisingly soft and comfortable to sleep on.
Features of the Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam 18″
- Dura Beam Fiber-Tech Construction– Nobody really knows what this means but it is made of thousands of polyester fibers that are supposed to be extremely strong. It is these fibers that provide the air mattress with awesome support, stability and durability. All I know is it is very comfortable and extremely comfortable ensuring you great value for money in a well-built mattress. Ther have been reviews from people complaining about the air leaking out of the bed, but this happens to most of them at first. All air beds have to be broken in. This is because the bed stretches in the beginning. It has to be broken in, and will hold air once the stitches settle into place.
- Flocking– This air mattress features plush flocking which makes it soft to the touch. The flocking as well as the indentation in the sides will hold your sheets stay in place. The flocked top is waterproof and made of quality tested 20.8 gauge material. I have found that air mattresses are very comfortable to sleep on like this but are even better with a foam top purchased separately.
- Horizontal Air Chamber– This air chamber runs all around the air mattress. This is designed to provide additional support and stability around the entire air mattress. You know that when more than one person sleeps on an air mattress the whole thing will move any time one of the people roll over during the night. I found that the way this mattress is made will prevent this from happening. This is a big deal to me. As a matter of fact I do not give a mattress a good review if I get woke up because I feel the other person moving around.
- Capacity– The air mattress features 15-gauge vinyl beams and 16 gauge bottoms and sides allowing for strength. It thus has a weight capacity of a maximum of 600 lbs. This is also a big deal. This bed is very heavy duty for this price.
Advantages of the Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam 18″
- Easy to Use– The Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam air mattress is easy to use. From one touch inflation that has the bed aired up in less than 5 minutes and three firmness selections that allow you to set it to your liking.
- Portable– With an included duffel bag and with easy deflation this air mattress is extremely portable. This allows you to carry your air bed anywhere you but take into account there must be a plug nearby to inflate the mattress.
- Comfortable– With top of the line design and high tech construction the Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam air mattress is extremely comfortable and easy to get into and out of because of its raised design. I read a review where someone put their 78 year old mother-in-law on this bed and she had zero complaints. That's amazing.
- Affordable– The Intex Comfort Plush Elevated Dura-Beam offers great design and ultimate comfort at a great low price. This can be purchased by anyone on a low budget.
The Bottom Line
I found this air mattress is very comfortable for a low price. I would feel safe to say this bed is just as good as the expensive beds, and if you are on a budget and require good value for money this is definitely a good pick. It features a built in pump and inflates in a manner of minutes so you can start using it right away. I love this air mattress, but not quite as much as the SoundAsleep bed. It is a close 2nd.

Appeal of Santos' CSG water treatment facility near Narrabri begins
An appeal by community group People for the Plains, from North West NSW has begun in the NSW Court of Appeal. The appeal challenges an earlier court decision that gave Santos a green light to operate its 'Leewood' coal seam gas (CSG) wastewater treatment facility near Narrabri and the world-renowned Pilliga State Forest.
1 November 2016
People for the Plains – represented by public interest environmental lawyers EDO NSW – earlier this year argued in the Land and Environment Court that the Leewood facility is unlawful because it did not go through the proper development assessment process before being approved. The NSW Department of Industry approved the facility in August 2015 as CSG exploration, without an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) being prepared and without the public being given a chance to comment.
On 1 August 2016, the Land and Environment Court decided that the approval was valid. The Court's decision means that the facility, which is expected to treat up to 1.5 million litres of CSG wastewater every day and then use the water to irrigate farmland crops, can legally be considered CSG exploration.
"Our client did not make the decision to appeal lightly.' said Sue Higginson, CEO of EDO NSW. "But they are very concerned about the finding that such an industrial scale wastewater development could be considered CSG exploration, and so be exempt from public consultation and development consent. Local communities are worried about the impacts the Leewood facility will have on the environment. It is crucial that the law on this important issue is determined with certainty as it will set a precedent for similar industrial scale, long term projects in the future."
The hearing commences at 10:15am on Tuesday 1 November 2016 in the Court of Appeal, 184 Phillip St, Sydney. Sue Higginson, EDO NSW Chief Executive Officer, will be available for interviews outside Court from 9:45am.
More background on this case can be found at EDO NSW's website.

The Mall of Cthulhu
Trade Paperback - $13.95 Buy at: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Powell's
ISBN: 9781597801270 Published: 01/01/2009
A decade ago, college student Laura Harker was saved from a fate worse than death at the hands (and fangs) of a centuries-old vampire priestess and her Satanic minions. Her rescuer, an awkward, geeky folklore student named Teddy, single-handedly slew the undead occupants of the Omega Alpha sorority house, spurred into heroic action by fate itself, inexorably intertwining his and Laura's destinies.
After navigating her way through law school, Laura is now a junior FBI agent assigned to the Bureau's Boston office. Unfortunately, she finds her job involves more paperwork than adventure. Ted, on the other hand, has spent the past decade perfecting the ultimate latte, and works as a barista in a nearby corporate chain coffeehouse named for a character in Moby Dick.
When Ted stumbles onto a group of Cthulhu cultists planning to awaken the Old Ones through mystic incantations culled from the fabled Necronomicon, calling forth eldritch horrors into an unsuspecting world, he and Laura must spring into action, traveling from Boston to the seemingly-peaceful suburbs of Providence and beyond, all the way to the sanity-shattering non-Euclidian alleyways and towers of dread R'lyeh itself, in order to prevent an innocent shopping center from turning into… The Mall of Cthulhu.
"Charmingly squicky meta-Lovecraft mystery procedural,
alternately corny and catastrophically bleak—but
fun from start to finish."
— Cherie Priest, author of Fathom and Four and Twenty Blackbirds

I'm not exactly what one would call a wine connoisseur, but I do know what I like. I was introduced to this wine (Ehrenfelser) by my good friend Carla, who showed up on my doorstep with a bottle in hand one day, and it's been one of my absolute favorites ever since. It's fruity and flavourful without being sweet.
When my brother got married several years ago, they took the family to the Okanagan (a part of BC several hours from Vancouver where most of our fruit is grown) for a tour of the local wineries. I was thrilled to find out that Summerhill, the maker of this wine, was on the agenda. You can read more on the link, but they are Canada's largest certified organic winery, and they have a large pyramid that they age their wine in. I don't know a lot about pyramids and their effect on wine, but I can tell you that they're doing something right, because they make the best wine I've ever tasted. They also have an incredible restaurant. If you're ever in Kelowna, I would definitely recommend that you stop in.
My other favorite wine is their Baco Noir. It's so delicious that it's almost impossible to get your hands on, because it's always sold out.
I hear that this year's wines will be especially good, because of all the hot dry weather we had this summer.
Mmm…I can't wait!

"Things are both fine and not. Beginnings and endings are happening side by side. Life is messy and important and joyous and heartbreaking."
These words from Meg Fee sum up August for me. This month, grey days stretched into sunny evenings with people I love. I worked, rested, then became ill and played less than I would have liked to. I visited the Peak District with work friends, appreciating slow, shared meals and a break from screens.
Autumn's approach is accompanied by a sense of freshness – a new academic year, new projects, new colleagues, a new home further along the coast. But it also looks set to bring loss, change that isn't so easy to prepare for.
Managing positive and difficult circumstances simultaneously has reminded me to be gentle with myself and others. This currently looks like prioritising time with my favourite people and finding comfort in quiet moments. It means maintaining motivation but not berating myself when I'm not on top form. Whatever the close of summer brings, I hope you can tread gently too.

April 7, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
26th June 2012
If you'd like dig deep into the story of how economics became so detached from human realities and why its proponents insist on continuing to believe in totemic ideas which, post-crisis, are widely considered to be dangerous fantasies I strongly recommend reading Russell Napier's "Why we must retool our economics faculties and eject the financial engineers".
What I'd like to provide here is a brief overview of the realpolitik of neoclassical economics or, to put it another way, a sketch of how a heavily skewed perspective of what economics is became our orthodox view of reality.
The spirit of '68 comes to the Ivy League
Even Harvard University undergraduates are now rebelling about being fed a one-sided diet of neocon orthodoxies.
Last November, 70 first year economics students at Harvard University walked out of an economics lecture being given by Professor Greg Mankiw, an arch neoliberal, in sympathy with the Occupy movement.
They complained that Mankiw, who chaired President George W Bush's Council of Economic Advisers and is advising Mitch Romney's presidential campaign, was pushing a "heavily skewed perspective" and slammed him for "perpetuating problematic and inefficient systems of economic inequality in our society."
Politics not economics
In their open letter to the professor, published on November 2, 2011, the students wrote:
"we enrolled in Economics 10 hoping to gain a broad foundation of economic theory that would assist us in our various intellectual pursuits and diverse disciplines … . instead we found a course that espouses a specific-and limited-view of economics that we believe perpetuates problematic and inefficient systems of economic inequality….
The League of Vampire Squids
Mainstream economists have also shot themselves in the foot through their myriad incestuous relationships with wholly unscrupulous Wall Street firms including Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
Markets want to be free
During the 1990s and early 2000s, such firms used their pliable economist friends, some of whom sat as non-executive directors on their boards, as an effective Trojan Horse to ram home the misleading message that a deregulated market in financial derivatives would eliminate risk and make the financial markets safer.
Opening Pandora's box
And when Harvard economist Larry Summers became Treasury secretary in the administration of president Bill Clinton in 1999-2001, things really got out of hand.
He personally pushed for the deregulation of OTC derivatives 1999 and endorsed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which formally unwound Glass-Steagall and removed the separation between investment and commercial banks, and was passed in 1999.
The first of these moves opened a Pandora's box of untrammelled global financial speculation while the second paved the way for banks to become "too big to fail".
Jobs for the boys
The cringe-making scenes featuring Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia Business School, and Frederic Mishkin, a professor of economics and finance at Columbia University in the movie Inside Job are a powerful reminder of how corroded and corrupted some mainstream economists have become.
Mishkin revealed himself to be an a borderline charlatan, having no apparent qualms about writing a report that showed Iceland's economy to be in good health in 2006 in exchange for a $124,000 from the Icelandic Chamber of Commerce (when its economy was dangerously over-leveraged, and its banking sector stuffed with fraudulence and already perilously close to collapse!).
Such behaviour has done little to reinforce the credibility of economics as currently practised.
Steve Keen's personal take
Seeking further enlightenment on such matters, I spoke to Professor Steve Keen, the Australian economist and author of Debunking Economics, when he was on a recent whistle stop tour of Europe.
Keen has devoted much of his working life to tearing down the walls of neoclassical thinking and advocating alternatives.
His alternative approach is called the Circuit Theory of endogenous money. (A full interview with Keen will be published as a viewpoint article in Qfinance later this summer).
You don't need economics to run an economy
Keen explained that one reason that economics had been allowed to drift into the realms of unreality, severing all ties with the real world, was because "you don't need economics to run an economy".
He added: "An economy is a self-replicating system. If you needed economists to build one, as you need engineers to build a bridge, then millions of people would be killed by the economic equivalent of collapsing bridges, and the discipline would need to be completely redefined."
The role of laziness
And Richard Murphy, tax reformer and author of the Courageous State believes laziness also has a part to play. He said economics professor and other teaching staff:
"…have a set of nice, easy-to-teach diagrams with criss-crossing supply and demand curves which prove that market profit maximization delivers optimal results for society-and this model is so ingrained in the textbooks, and the presentation so convenient, it's going to take time to change."
Asperger's economics and the absence of empathy
Another stalwart of the new economics movement, Bill Mitchell, a research professor at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, believes a key problem is the "absence of empathy" displayed by most economists, a trait that was perhaps epitomised by the extraordinary performance of Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia University Business School, when interviewed for the movie Inside Job.
Mitchell believes that this almost autistic (Laputan?) absence of empathy makes mainstream economists dangerously blind to important economic and social issues such as unemployment and poverty and also fuels their obsession with what Mitchell describes as "non-issues such as public debt ratios". So another parallel with the Laputans, then?

I've also been working on a peyote stitch fob. I bought the kit in St. Charles last fall and it has taken me this long to get up the guts to open the package and give it a try. I've never beaded like this before and I have to tell you, I think my brain has atrophied in the last 10 years. I read the directions about a billion times and I might as well have been reading Greek. None of it made sense to me. Then I googled Peyote stitch and read about 15 different websites on how to do it until I finally found one that sort of made sense to me. I am now at the point where I need to attach the clasp and I am in the same boat as before. I have read and re-read the directions, for a week now I have been reading the directions and I am still clueless. I think in another 10 years I will most likely be a blithering idiot if this is anything to go by! I still haven't opened my knotwork chart that I bought in St. Charles How long do you think it will take me to figure out a colonial knot?? UPDATE: Sad sad news. I was cleaning up the kitchen when I got home from work and knocked my fob off the counter without noticing. The fricking fracking dog that shares space with me decided it looked like something to munch on. I will need to repair it so you don't get a picture of it mostly done. Instead you get a picture of it half way done.
Hello! I wanted to post something before I head off to Nashville. Things have been just crazy busy around here. I know I keep saying that but it's true! Broke my record of 24 framing projects by 2. Yesterday morning I had 26 projects. By the time I left work last night I had 9 fewer but today we have taken in another and I heard from 2 customers yesterday that said they have several they are bringing in. Job security folks, that's all I have to say about that! I'm actually tickled pink about it. I want this shop to be a success and stay around for a long, long time.
Dan and I have been working on a couple of crafty type things that I just can't wait to show you but sadly, we're all going to have to wait a little while longer. I absolutely can't show it until after I get back from Market. A critical part of the whole design needs to be purchased there. So make sure you tune in next week to see it. Dan is so thrilled with his _______. OOPS! I almost typed it!
Jenny Bean is coming along slowly since I have been doing some other crafting as of late. Progress has been made but not much.
I've also stitched up Lucky from Plum Street Samplers. I plan to make it into a pillow when I get back.
In Offspring News...
Talked with Adam on Sunday. He's doing well and is ready to leave Utah. There isn't much work for him to do anymore so he's a bit bored. The latest news is he will go to either D.C. or Orlando. I'm voting for Orlando. I"ve never been to Disney anything and would love to go sometime before I die. This would give me the perfect excuse!
Abby is doing well. She and the boyfriend are getting along nicely. School is good too with the exception of one gal that hates her guts. I would say there might be some merit to her complaints if any of the other supervisors in that place had a problem with Abby or if any of the supervisors in the other rotation hospitals had a problem with her but they all have given her glowing reviews. This particular one has ripped her to shreds three times now. I keep telling Abs that she is going to run into people like that all her life and there isn't a dang thing you can do about it but she still cried on my shoulder for an hour. Makes ya just want to go find the woman and bitch slap her!
Amy quit the newspaper at school. She just couldn't handle the fact that her performance was based so heavily on other people returning her emails and phone calls. She was getting migraines and stomach aches and finally could not take it any more. She's much happier now. She's still planning a journalism degree but now wants to add pre-med into the mix. She and her friend Rose have decided to room together next year and were hoping to get into one of the suite style dorm rooms but they didn't get chosen so they will stay in the dorm they are both in now. I'm thinking that's not such a bad thing. 4 girls in one space is 2 too many!
Finally I will show you another of my thrifty finds. This time it's a sewing box. Paid a whopping 5 bucks for it! Dan will pretty it all up for me and I will either take it to the shop or use it here at home. I'm not sure yet.
And now, I best get my rear in gear and get my packing finished. Mary Ann will be picking me up at 8:30 in the morning and away we will go. Don't know if I will be able to check in at all while I'm away but I'll try.
Take care till next time!

Boateng wants video technology used to identify racism
Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has called for video technology to be used in football to ban racist supporters from matches.
Video footage is now heavily used on the pitch in the Bundesliga, with goal-line technology this season joined by VAR.
But Boateng is frustrated that there has been no progress in identifying racism within the stands - something he believes could now be achieved easily.
"We are in the year 2017 and we have still not found a way to do it," he told Focus.
Hellooooo #prince17 pic.twitter.com/NY7SZa5gNP— Kevin-Prince Boateng (@KPBofficial) October 5, 2017
"We have goal-line technology and video evidence that says [against Wolfsburg in August] that Boateng was offside and the penalty was not given.
"But why do we not use the technology so that every racist is identified, kicked out and never returned to the stadium?"
Boateng, who endured racist chanting in Serie A during his time with AC Milan, added: "There are incidents in every new season. It just cannot happen."

To most individuals, it is hard to keep up with their health and care and thus knowing how to maintain their pets best is a bit confusing. Having a healthy pet will mean having a happy and healthy family too. You cannot risk your children contracting some of those dangerous diseases from domestic animals. Keep your companion healthy and happy by following the following tips.
How to Keep Your Pet Healthy and Happy
Regular examination
Just like a person, pets need regular check up. Your pet can develop heart problems, a toothache or even have arthritis. The ideal way to prevent them is if they are noted early enough. You can do this by visiting the veterinarian each year. Annual visits to the veterinarian touch on both nutrition and weight control. The vet can recommend vaccinations and parasite control as well as perform health screening.
Spay and neuter the pet
Many pets nowadays end up in pet shelters each year. Some have been abandoned. Others are lost while others are homeless. The best way to prevent adding on this number is by spaying and neutering your pet, and this is a procedure you can perform as early as eight weeks of age.
The process does not cut down the number of unwanted pets, but it is beneficial to your pet. It reduces the risk of cancer and danger of getting lost thus no tendency to roam.
Prevent Parasites
The most common pet parasite is the flea, and it can cause skin irritation, hot spots infection and hair loss. Fleas can also introduce other parasites to your pets as all it takes is for the pet to swallow one flea and end up with other parasites like tapeworms and other internal parasites. The best prevention is regular pest control and performing heartworm prevention in endemic areas.
Maintain healthy weight
Some people have neglected their pets, and they are left overweight or obese. Just like in human beings, obesity in pets poses high threats like cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. The primary cause of obesity is over-feeding your pet, and a study has shown that keeping your pet trim can increase its life span. Reduce the calories intake you offer to your pet so as to achieve this.
Get regular vaccinations
For maximum health, pets need routine vaccinations against common diseases like canine hepatitis, distemper, rabies and feline leukemia. The pet will require injections depending on its age, health, lifestyle and environmental risks.
Provide the pet with an enriched environment
The environment is another essential key to the health and welfare of your feline and canine companions. Pets are animals and require mental stimulation, and this could include daily walks, toys, post scratching and window perches. This means they need play time with you, which keeps the pets toned and keeps boredom at bay.
Microchip the pet
Lack of identification increases the risk of the pet getting lost. Fortunately, micro chipping has helped many pet owners by allowing the pets to reunite with their owner no matter how far they are when found. If the pet is with its owners, it means that it is happy and no risks of getting sick.
Contact to Coral Ridge Animal Hospital and book an appointment with a veterinarian today. Help your pet live a healthy and energetic life, and this will ensure your family is healthy and happy too!

The 1st Annual Hye Riders Boat Cruise a Great Success
In the evening of July 23rd, 2016 in Toronto Canada, more than 250 people embarked on the Yankee Lady boat to cruise on Lake Ontario, sailing by the Toronto Islands, Centre Island, while overlooking the skyline of Toronto. The beautiful sun was setting and as it was getting dark, we were under the clear starry sky, the moon was shining on the water and as we enjoyed with our family, friends, and with the Hye Riders Motorcycle club members. After many months of organizing and planning, the Hye Riders boat cruise was a great success where beautiful memories were made and that we will never forget.
We were entertained with the music and performance by the talented Khoren Mouradian who definitely kept people dancing all night. As we were dining, enjoying the beautiful summer night, it was so incredible to see the support from the people who attended, and as well as seeing the Armenian passion and energy that was felt in a happy and festive atmosphere. The Hye Riders are not just about the Motorcycles, they are always there for our Armenians, our identity, life and culture. For that we are so grateful to them.
Thank you to the Hye Riders for this beautiful boat cruise and for all that you all do. We are so blessed to having a lovely group like you all. May God bless you all and with continued success in all that you do. Ride on!

The Great Hye Riders on a riding mode,
Hearing the rumble of Harley Davidson's and more,
the passion of being Armenian is all what its for.

Always there to support our race,

Sharing the love and adoration of bikes,
That is the type of bond everyone likes,
The Armenian blood rides through,
A beautiful group that sticks like glue,
Oh Beautiful Hye Riders Motorcycle Club,
May You forever be the Armenian Hub,
Ride on Hye Riders you are the best,
We Armenians around the world are truly blessed.

The Division of Enterprise and Economics translates Emmanuel's commitment to ethics and social justice into its curriculum, sharing values around rigor, relevance, collaboration and integrity. On Tuesday, April 17, Spring 2018 "Intro to Enterprise" college students presented their entrepreneurial ideas in a poster contest. This course introduces students to business and management practices within the twenty first century, whereas emphasizing the dynamism and liveliness of enterprise organizations, elevating problems with ethics and social duty, and encouraging students to engage in self-reflection around career points in enterprise and management.
Along with the normal shops for enterprise journalism, reminiscent of Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal, the sector has expanded with new entrants similar to Business Insider, Vox, the Upshot at The New York Occasions, and Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight. That is excellent news for CUNY J-Faculty business concentration students looking to land good internships and jobs.
CBE college students are taking on analysis initiatives with a possible for actual affect. College students offered their work at the college's annual Development & Research Convention this May. Relying on your program, you can be taught by school from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit, Universiteit van Amsterdam, or the IES Overseas Amsterdam Center.
Business Reference Services is the starting point for conducting analysis within the topic areas of business and economics.

As I speak here, buying property in Orlando or Miami is an excellent deal for those looking for a profitable investment in the US or abroad. Both Florida cities are increasingly valued on account of the various tourist attractions of the region, so the investment becomes quite safe.
Investor interest in buying homes in Florida is already more than noticeable. "The significant increase in home sales by Talent realty this year shows increasingly growth openings for this type of business. The point is that many people still have no idea how to proceed with the purchase of property abroad and is afraid to do so, "says the executive director Ricardo Molina.
" In addition to the advices; Talent Realty give our customers some recommendations that can strengthen and simplify the possibility of investing in a house in Florida," concluded Molina.
According to the broker, first it is important to seek a Realtor in Orlando with experience in both markets international and national, especially regarding the legal and financial part.
Generally, according to Molina, banks require valid passport and visa, proof of residence and income, such as bank accounts, investments, earnings, business data, etc. "It is not mandatory, but it is interesting to have a bank account in a US bank. As an investor is even simpler to open, "he says.
"They are usually 30% minimum down payment from the property value and a term of 30 years to pay off the remaining debt with fixed interest rate which now account for 5.5%," he explains.
