Here's the new number of jobs Gov. Rick Scott actually brought to Florida during his "trade mission" to Canada last week: zero.
That's right, not a single one.
Over two statements from Canada last week, the governor announced that 210 new jobs were coming to Florida from our neighbors to the north -- which is still a little low considering Scott and his delegation met with 120 companies they say are considering moving to Florida.
We knew Scott was misrepresenting the facts about private security company Garda moving its U.S. headquarters from Pasadena, California, to Boca Raton -- a deal that was built under former Gov. Charlie Crist and approved by the Palm Beach County Commission just days after Scott took office.
Now we're finding that much like the 100 jobs Scott is championing from Garda, he doesn't have much room to take credit for the other 110 jobs either.
The Orlando Sentinel asked the new president of Aircraft Armature -- which has been operating out of Opa-locka since April and plans on hiring as many as 100 new employees over the next year -- if Scott had a big influence in their decision to grow in Florida:
"No," Howard, told me flatly, but he praised the governor and his team and said he hopes they can be of help in the future, such as when it comes to understanding health care and benefits in the United States, which is different from Canada's universal health care.
He pointed out that as a former hospital executive, Scott "has got the credentials to know about that stuff."
The remaining ten jobs Scott's taking credit for creating -- that's bogus too.
Toronto's UCC Industries International Inc. started a two-man operation in Tampa two and a half months ago and didn't move because they'd just hired an employee from the Tampa area.
Now they're planning on adding eight more employees over the next few years, and the Sentinel also asked that company's president, Brent Hughes, if Scott swayed him into bringing jobs to Florida:
He also said the governor's policies didn't impact his decision, but that it was "an honor and a pleasure to be able to meet the governor," while he was in Canada[...]
Let's add that all up -- one week, 120 companies, zero jobs.

Why Do I Need To Replace my Roof?
Your roof ages over time, and requires maintenance. Your goal should be to proactively inspect it twice a year so that it receives the attention it needs before you risk water damage. In fact, by detecting problem areas early on can save you major dollars in the long term.
A leak in your roof is not the only time you might need replacement roofing.
What factors should I consider when it comes to replacing my roof?
- Age of roof
- Your tolerance for repairing the roof in piecemeal fashion, which means dealing with a mismatched appearance and periodic checks
- Missing or torn shingles which make your home vulnerable to leakage
- Damaged shingles expose your roof to rot and weaken nearby shingles
- Curling, splitting, and weakened shingles that you may lose in strong winds
Other conditions to consider related to your roof
- Damaged, rusted or missing flashing, which is the metal that protects chimneys, vents, and the dip in the valleys where roof sections come together
- Inside your home, check the ceilings and walls for signs of water damage such as discoloration, cracks, and peeling wallpaper
- Check downspouts and gutters for any signs of problems
- Do you see any scraps of roofing? Broken pieces of paint?
Any number of factors will affect whether or not you need roof replacement. Pittsburgh-based Meredith Home Improvement can help. The decision to repair or replace a roof is often met with failure because people either don't find a quality roofing contractor or they opt for the less expensive option of adding a new roof on top of the existing one. Two roofs can become heavy and cause rot in the sub-layers.
Not sure what to do?
Contact the professionals at Meredith Home Improvement. We can guide you in this decision so that you have the right solution for you.

Yesterday President Trump surprised many of his own advisors when he announced that he would impose steel tariffs of 25% and aluminum tariffs of 10% on national security grounds. There are rumors that his top economic advisor Gary Cohn is so unhappy with the decision that he is on the brink of leaving the White House. The market voted a thumbs down on the decision as the Dow fell close to 1000 points before closing some of the gap on Friday. While the tariffs aren't yet finalized, many of our trading partners from Canada to Germany are seeking exemptions so it isn't yet clear how this will play out. If it is a broad based tariff, it would likely cause ripple effects in global trade and the end result is higher inflation.
Criticism of the tariffs
Larry Kudlow, an outside Trump advisor, sharply criticized the president for the announcement. "All that will happen with steel tariffs is you will raise prices for all import users and that includes businesses and of course consumers. You will wind up hurting millions of people to help 140,000 people in the steel industry. You will be hurting car buyers. Is that really what you want to do?"
Beer giant MillerCoors says that it was "disappointed" at the move, and that it "is likely to lead to job losses across the beer industry." The rise in aluminum prices would have to be passed on to consumers. "We buy as much domestic can sheet aluminum as is available, however, there simply isn't enough supply to satisfy the demands of American beverage makers like us," the company said on Twitter. "American workers and American consumers will suffer as a result of this misguided tariff."
Cars would likely see big price increases as well. The American International Automobile Dealers Association said, "Both metals are crucial to the production of cars and trucks sold in America today and would raise the sale prices of those vehicles substantially," the group said in a statement according to CNBC. A statement from the American Automotive Policy Council expressed concern that the change would place the U.S. auto industry at a "competitive disadvantage."
Canada is our largest trading partner in steel accounting for over 16% of steel imports. Therefore it is no surprise that our friends to the north sharply criticized the announcement calling it "absolutely unacceptable." Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that US tariffs would cause significant disruption to markets on both sides of the border.
A long-term negative for the stock market
We view any disruption to natural trade patterns as a negative for the stock market and economy. No decision is made in a vacuum and a broad tariff from the US will likely cause other countries to follow suit. The end result is higher prices to the end consumers and it seems to be a short sighted decision to defend a stodgy old industry which accounts for such a small portion of US GDP. While this won't likely affect our economy in the short-term, we will closely monitor this situation over the coming weeks and months.

Unlocking the 5 Keys to a Successful Financial Planning Program
To many people, the term financial planning evokes a feeling of exhaustion and confusion. I know Iâm definitely in that category! Knowing this, it is essential that your credit union offers a financial planning program. By providing a helping hand, you will help your members feel less overwhelmed and establish lasting relationships in the process. Whether you have a financial program in place that you are looking to improve or you are looking to embark upon the adventure of starting one, a recent webcast we recorded with Michael Thompson and Barry Dayley from Money Concepts offers some great ideas on the â5 Keys to a Successful Financial Planning Programâ for credit unions.
1) The Right People
This reminds me of casting parts for a play. The whole production depends on the right people being cast in the right roles. The entire financial planning team has to share the same values, and program leadership must be able to communicate intent, like a good director leads a play (again with that analogy!). It is also essential to be sure that you hire representatives that keep members in mind and that understand that wealth management is not just a product; itâs about your membersâ future.
2) Vision
Just as you want the financial planning team to share the same values, you also want them to have a shared vision. If everyone is running in different directions, it is impossible to get anyone to the finish line (sorry for switching metaphors, but this made more sense!). Define success from the get-go with realistic objectives that are designed to establish relationships with your members.
3) Integration
Integrate financial planning throughout your credit union. If everyone at your credit union is held accountable for putting members first, cross-sales into your financial planning department will inevitably happen. Why do you want cross-sales to happen? You already have a trusted relationship with your members, and financial planning and wealth management is a natural extension. Cross-selling ensures that you are providing members with as many services and resources as possible to help them succeed financially. Success for your credit union and your members makes this a win-win!
4) Monitoring
Keep an eye on your credit unionâs progress by measuring tangible results. Taking an analytical approach allows you to identify needed areas of improvement, and will also ensure that your financial planning program produces predictable and consistent results. Analytics should be at the core of everything you do; we measure the results from all we doâfrom click through rates to website traffic. Besides, how else can you back up your bragging rights when your financial program becomes a success?
5) Recognition
Recognize the hard work of not only your representatives in the financial program, but also the support that makes the representatives successful. Be creative with the recognition your credit union provides! Often, some of the best and most innovative recognition programs are some of the cheapest to implement. One especially creative recognition program that Michael and Barry mentioned was a âballoon lotteryâ for referrals. These balloons all had different dollar amounts in them, such as five or ten dollars, and if an employee made a referral, he or she would pop a balloon for the dollar prize. Recognition programs like this level the playing field, make all employees feel important, and create a fun atmosphere that motivates employees.
Learn much more about setting up a successful financial planning program from the experts, Michael and Barry, in the full webcast recording.

Olympics: China eyes consolidation at Rio, excellence at Tokyo
[BEIJING] China aims to consolidate its existing strengths at this year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro before striving to achieve a "leading position" at the next summer Games in Tokyo in 2020, the country's sports ministry said on Thursday.
Chinese athletes bagged the most gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a feat accompanied by a wave of national pride, the culmination of China's "100 year dream" to host the world's most prestigious sports event.
At the London Olympics four years later, China came second to the United States in the medals table.
Unveiling a lengthy plan mapping out broad goals for China's sports sector for the five years to 2020, the sports ministry said it would aim to further strengthen China's international competitiveness. "At the 2016 Rio Olympics work hard to maintain and consolidate existing advantages in sports events and results positions," the ministry said.
"At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, strive to get a leading position in sports results," it added, without offering details on how China might achieve this.

Olympic medals are generally won by a minority of government-supported athletes who receive huge backing from the state and a failure to perform is accompanied by massive public pressure and hand-wringing back home.
The government has warned that the country's obsession with winning gold medals has caused problems like corruption and must be ditched if graft is truly to be rooted out.
China is gearing up for another place in the Olympic spotlight after Beijing, along with the neighbouring city of Zhangjiakou, last year won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Only one other city wanted it, Almaty in Kazakhstan.
Though China is far from a winter sports power, the sports ministry said hosting the Winter Olympics would help the country further raise its influence on international sports and spur the development of winter sports in China.
China will study best practices from other countries to ensure its Winter Games are on par with the best internationally, the ministry added.
While Beijing hosted the 2008 Summer Games to wide acclaim, its bid for the Winter Games had been dogged by concerns over a number of issues such as the city's notorious smog problem, a lack of snow, corruption and China's poor human rights record.

I am trying in secret to set the field on fire. It's going to rain. I crouch down with an old book of matches I found among my grandmother's things. The head of the first match I try crumbles into white sand against the strike pad. The second, drier, pops and flares into life. I hold the flame against the wiry blond curls of dried grass and it catches, races up one blade and down another. A thin pencil of smoke. My brother spots it and comes running over. "What are you doing?" I tear another match from the book, and another. The first fat drops begin to fall.
That was a dream, but it got me reminiscing all the same. There were wild dogs on the mountain back then. The one we called the Red Dog whelped a litter in an old woodchuck den down in that same corner of the field, and then abandoned them when they were half-grown. She never seemed quite right in the head, and some of her pups didn't, either. We tamed them one by one, running them down in the long grass and when we caught them, petting them for hours and crooning words of endearment. I remember the beagle-looking one I frightened so badly he pissed himself, so that forever after he would urinate wildly whenever he was excited, until the family that adopted him finally took him to the pound. The one my brother Mark befriended developed a taste for chickens and had to be shot. That's a hard thing for a 4-year-old kid to take, especially one with two domineering older brothers and no close neighbors. He said later it bothered him for years.
Early on, my parents wanted to have a pond down in that corner of the field, but the contractor decided it wasn't clayey enough to hold water and left us with just the test holes. One of them quickly silted in, but the other was next to a spring and remained filled for much of the year — the pond, we called it, though it was barely more than a puddle. A few times we brought a microscope down and spent hours peering at algae and microorganisms. And every March during wood frog mating season we'd sit motionless beside the pond for hours, listening to the strange chorus of quacking calls and watching the orgiastic pile-ons whenever a female showed up. It was an education.
Once when we were teenagers, Mark and I went down into that part of the field with every book about wildflowers, weeds, grasses and sedges that we could lay our hands on, trying to attach a name to everything we found. We almost succeeded.
You must understand: we didn't have television.
That section of the field hasn't been plowed now in probably 40 years, and it hasn't been mowed in over 30. Some catalpa trees have seeded in, and a few black locust, but other than that, the over-abundant deer have prevented trees and brush from taking over. We planted some white pine seedlings about ten years ago, but the deer got those, too.
Down under the grass and goldenrod, a thick carpet of moss has built up over the years, dotted with clumps of ebony spleenwort and cutleaf grape ferns; you sink in with every step. It's nothing like walking in a pasture or a plowed field. This is the kind of spot that can haunt your dreams.

A Selection of TV Appearances
Edwina with husband, brother, daughter and niece on Family Fortunes.
2009 was a busy year on TV and radio, with interviews and news items on the parliamentary expenses scandal, the state of the NHS and other topics on The One Show, BBC News, Sky News and others.
Featured programmes this year included Family Fortunes, Cash in the Attic, Bargain Hunt, Come Dine with Me, Loose Women and appearing for several weeks with Ant and Dec.
Later in 2009 Edwina appeared in James May's Toy Stories, in which James challenged Liverpool University engineering students to build a bridge over the canal by the Liver Building using only Meccano. "That was fun: Meccano was made in my native city and I cherished my set as a child," Edwina says. "Fortunately I didn't have to build the bridge, only help judge the competition. It made a terrific programme which has been repeated several times."
As a native Liverpudlian Edwina is delighted to see that Liverpool has just celebrated its 800th birthday (the anniversary of its first charter from King John in 1207), and is the European Capital of Culture for 2008. She filmed an authored piece entitled "My Kind of Town" for BBC TV's The One Show in August 2007, which included a visit to her old school, to her father's former shop in Williamson Square and to the historic Princes Road Synagogue.
" The One Show" in August 2007
THIS MORNING - ON THE ROOF ITV September 2007
In September 2007 Edwina featured on ITV's This Morning show every day for a week with popular presenters Philip Schofield and Fern Britton. She lived on the ITV building roof with nothing but a computer laptop for company. She had to obtain clothing, food, shelter, and even somewhere to sit out of a limited budget; only a tent, a portaloo and a dressing-gown were provided. Challenges were set - and met - including arranging a wedding reception (actually a renewal of vows) on the roof for 30 guests, with champagne, a cake, canapés, the vicar, set-dressing, flowers, musicians, and formal clothing for herself and the bride and groom. Along the way she acquired an exercise bike, five singing toy birds (from the RSPB), a forty-foot flagpole and Union Jack (from mrflag.com) and an immense toy dog (from Battersea Dogs' Home) to keep her company.
ITV This Morning 3-7 September 2007
Edwina and husband John Jones (JJ) took part in their strangest assignment yet in which she swapped homes and partners with the wife of another celebrity who is pictured below
John McCririck is the racing tipster for Channel 4 Racing and became well-known to UK viewers through his 2005 appearance on Big Brother. Comments Edwina, We were not told in advance who the swap would be with, so I was motivated largely by curiosity, and my usual willingness to have a go at most things. Mr McCririck is not known for respecting women as equals; he glories in calling his wife Jenny The Booby. He was not the most gracious of hosts. It made me realise how much I value my own home and spouse. Thank heaven it only lasted a week!
On June 23 2004 Edwina took part in BBC TV's prime time programme Celebrity Mastermind against contestants including the late Richard Whiteley. With "The Life of Marie Curie" as her special subject, she swept the board and came home the winner.
Said Edwina later, "It was nerve-wracking - the other contestants were all experts in their chosen fields but I decided to avoid politics and go for one of my great heroines. My only concern was to do Madame Curie justice. I am thrilled and proud."
Said Edwina, "We made life tough for Gordon Ramsay; I don't think he was expecting a bunch of troublesome celebrities. We didn't give in to his bullying! But underneath, he really cares about good food and I was proud to be there. I even learned some splendid recipes, though I am still not the main cook at home!"
own radio programme
Edwina was on air the night of Sunday 22/Monday 23 September 2002 when an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale occurred, with its epicentre at Dudley, a few miles from the Birmingham studio. "It was a pretty scary experience," she says. "The whole table began to tilt and bounced up and down. I feared it might be a bomb - an earthquake in England is the last thing anyone would expect. But I'm glad to say professionalism prevailed - I managed not to swear too much!"

A local legend in New Jersey's rich and fertile MMA scene, 185-pounder Dante Rivera (22-6) once was contestant on Spike-TV's "The Ultimate Fighter" competition but lost, he says, because his longtime mentor, Ricardo Almeida, could not be in his corner. Now stuck to Almeida like peanut butter is to jelly, Rivera is as focused as a hawk flying over a field of mice as far as getting back into the UFC.
Having held titles in most regional promotions, including Ring of Combat and Reality Fighting, the Jackson-raised, Bordentown-based fighter has a shot at the middleweight belt of the new Adrenaline cage matches, presented in partnership with New Breed Fighters, an amateur competition forging its way into the pro ranks. On Friday, Feb. 26 at Resorts in Atlantic City, Rivera will take on Herbert "Whisper" Goodman (12-7), a worthy opponent from Wisconsin.
In addition to Almeida, Rivera's training partners include No. 1 lightweight contender Frankie "The Answer" Edgar, who'll fight BJ Penn at UFC 112 on April 10; Ring of Combat lightweight champion Chris Ligouri, and several up-and-coming amateur fighters who compete in Asylum Fight League and a variety of grappling tournaments. All train under Professor Almeida at his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy in Hamilton, where Rivera works as second in command.
Enjoy this conversation with Rivera, which took place after a typically grueling MMA workout (nine 5-minute rounds with a minute rest between each), footage from which also is available for your viewing pleasure.
Tell me about this opportunity to fight for this title.
It's great to fight for a title of any event. It's a privilege. Being a champion is everybody's goal, no matter what level it is. If I'm a champion there, I'd like to have another title to defend and then get myself back into the UFC.
What other titles have you held?
Ring of Combat, Combat in the Cage, Caged Fury, Reality Fighting. Pretty much most of the events on the East Coast.
What do you think it will take for you to get back into the UFC after you win this title?
I'm looking to submit this guy. It will be three submissions in a row. I think one more finish after four submissions in a row is enough I think to get me back in my eyes. I don't work for the UFC (laughs), but hopefully, they'll see it in the same perspective that I do.
There are more fighters in some other states that are much bigger than New Jersey geographically and population-wise. For such a small state as New Jersey, there are a ton of fighters here in the UFC and underneath it. What is about mixed martial arts that it is so incredibly popular in New Jersey, not only as a spectator sport but as a participatory one?
New Jersey is a competitive state. It's a big wrestling state. A lot of wrestlers come out of New Jersey. I think it would be the same in New York if MMA was sanctioned in New York. A lot of them come out of New York too. You can bunch New York and New Jersey together. It's a city mentality. These guys want to get in there and they want to compete at a high level of MMA. It's one-on-one, so there's the competitive aspect of who's the better man. And at the end, you shake hands.
Do you think MMA will be sanctioned in New York and make the sport even bigger?
Yes, it's inevitable for them. They're going to have to go with the wave. They're pretty much the only ones left out. Everything is about money. As soon as the money starts getting bigger, which I'm sure it's going to be, I'm pretty sure New York is going to open its arms to MMA.
You went to Jackson High School, which always has had a great wrestling program. Did you wrestle at Jackson?
I never wrestled. I was friends with a lot of wrestlers, but when I went to high school, Jackson had a lot of state champions.
Steve Rivera, Frankie's wrestling coach, is out of Jackson. Do you ever get to work with him?
It's hard for me because I teach at the Academy here. He's helped with some things along the way. We're very good friends actually. I just never really got the chance to work with him, but I see some of his teachings through Frankie. Things that he's taught I've seen because Frankie shows me a lot of things.
What do you like most about being Ricardo's right-hand man?
Professor Almeida has done so much for me over the years. I've been with him 11 years now, from a white belt all the way to black belt. He hand guided me through me whole career of fighting to the point where if he's not in my corner, I'm not even comfortable fighting. I've turned down fights out of the country just because I didn't want to go fight without him.
It's a trust issue. I trust everything he says to me. That showed a lot in my performance on 'The Ultimate Fighter.' Anybody who has seen me fight before or after that and seen me on the show, it didn't seem like the same person. It's because I was out of my element and out of my trust factor. Ricardo wasn't there.
Who were the coaches on that?
Forrest (Griffin) and 'Rampage' (Jackson). Forrest actually was an excellent coach. I had had about 15 fights going in by way of Ricardo. It's pretty hard to break out of a habit, especially when you trust somebody that much, somebody who's never led you in the wrong direction for years. You tend to put all your faith into him. Not only is he an excellent coach, but he's also a great friend, who's helped me with everything from personal issues to jiu jitsu.
You do MMA and jiu jitsu training here at the Academy. Tell me about the rest of your training.
Ricardo and I tried to get here three days a week to do strength and conditioning. I have a strength coach, George Samuelson. He works with me in the gym. We do a lot of kettlebells. I try to work out four to five days a week weights wise. I do MMA in the mornings. I also high roll after every class that I teach. I'm doing jiu jitsu all night every night. I'm getting a lot of training in on a consistent basis.
Plus, I'm never out of shape. Because I instruct, I don't fight, take two months off of partying and get 20 pounds heavier. I don't drink. Two days after the fight, I'm back teaching and rolling in class with the students. With the white belts – it's a basic class – but I learn a lot from them. I always have to roll with and instruct them, but I also learn a lot from them. I don't think, 'Oh, I only have to roll with black belts.' I roll with every belt level and see everybody's point of view. I can learn something from a black belt, and the next day, I can learn something from a white belt. Everybody does everything differently.
What gym do you work out at?
Robert Wood Johnson Hamilton Center for Health & Wellness in Hamilton. George is a genius. Besides the strength, he does agility training. If my shoulder is hurting, he'll roll my ankle, and my shoulder will stop hurting. Things of that nature.

RICHARD Hammond is back driving again just two months after narrowly missing death when his electric supercar burst into flames on a hillside in Switzerland in June.
The 47-year-old managed to escape from the wreckage - that took eight hours to extinguish, with a fractured knee, and eight weeks later he's behind the wheel again.
In the clip shown on DriveTribe captioned: "Today I took my First Drive since my recent visit to Shuntsville", he can be heard celebrating, "I'm back, oh yeah!"
He tells the camera: "This feels better than the first time, being 17 and given the keys to freedom because this time, I'm ready."
He then praised the medics who had taken care of him, exclaiming: "This is beautiful, thank you doctors, thank you."
Becoming emotional he said: "I shouldn't even be sharing this moment, it feels too personal right now ... I mean I'm dressed, but I feel like I'm not.
"This is where I've been all this time, in my head. I can go anywhere."
Referring to the mountain race which almost killed him he added: "Wales is over there, it's got mountains in it, there's a ghost I need to exorcise, I'm going there."
Speaking to Drive Tribe following the crash, Richard revealed he thought he was going to die.
Speaking on DriveTribe, he said: "I was aware that I was up high, and that inevitably the car was going to come down.
"And yeah of course there was a moment of dread – 'Oh God, I'm going to die'."
"I mean if you look at those craters, that's a big hole that's just impact and it looks like the thing has been dropped from space to leave a hole that big.
"So yeah I was probably going, 'Well this is it'.
"In fact that is what was going through my mind. I thought, 'I've had it'.
"It was like being in a tumble dryer full of bricks. I was conscious that it was upside down. And obviously your brain is telling you that is not a good place to be."
Hammond was in conversation with Mate Rimac, CEO of car manufacturer Rimac, as he opened up about the disaster.
Describing the aftermath of the crash, he said: "I was wriggling and writhing to get out which was a bit difficult because I had a normal seat belt on not a harness.
"I do remember saying to them drag me by my arms not my legs because I think I've broken that leg."

The black Lino Collection: Pro VII Messenger Bag from Manfrotto is a durable, stylish and multi-functional "stow-and-go" type bag. With this bag, you can be up and out the door, ready for that international or cross country flight. With a more than respectable gear capacity of a DSLR with mounted 70-200 lens, plus four other lenses, laptop, standard and pocket tripods, flash and general accessories, this is a bag to be reckoned with for anyone who needs a multi-functional, weather-resistant bag. But why is it multi-functional? Not only is it a well-designed shoulder bag but it can also leave you hands-free when setup as an over-your-shoulder sling-type bag. The included buckle and strap that change the bag from one style to the other provide extra carrying support during longer durations.
The bag is made from rugged, weather-resistant, high-quality nylon along with a lovely touch of stylish Italian leather. No need to be worried about being caught in various weather conditions since a fold-out rain protector is included to protect you from unexpected rain, wind or snow. Water-resistant zippers are coated so that no moisture will seep in. The outside of the bag is affixed with tripod connectors that eliminate the need for a separate, standard tripod bag. And, if you use a pocket tripod, the inside of the bag contains two integrated pockets that are perfect for fitting both sizes of Manfrotto pocket series tripods. Traveling by plane? The bag is airline carry-on rated so the ever-present angst of worrying about your luggage-stowed gear is removed. This bag will always be in your sight.
Let's look inside and see what the bag offers. Not only is it spacious enough for your DSLR with a mounted 70-200 plus 4 other medium-sized lenses, flash and numerous accessories, but no photographer these days travels without his laptop. The Lino Pro VII Messenger Bag is rated to hold a 15.4" (39.1cm) laptop as well as most Apple 17" (43.2cm) laptops -stored in its own, separate padded compartment. Needless to say, the bag will also accommodate computer support accessories like cables, batteries, cards and more. The central gear compartment is equipped with Manfrotto's touch fastened Flexi-Dividers that permit you to sculpt the bag into whatever configuration you prefer. That 70-200 I mentioned earlier is held firmly in place by Manfrotto's "L" Camera Bracket that supports the camera and lens in a face-down, secure and ready-to-shoot position. For pens, maps, business cards, iPhone and similar small-sized items, there is a handy separate slip-in style storage pocket compartment.
This is also an excellent shooting bag. The "wow" feature is that you can open the bag from the top without having to unzip the entire system exposing it to surrounding, curious eyes. Merely unhinge the touch fastened top panels and you'll be able to withdraw your mounted 70-200, get the shot, slip the camera back inside, close the flaps and keep going.
For ease of carrying, the Lino Pro VII Messenger Bag comes with a comfortable shoulder strap containing an over-sized, padded cushion. Dual hand carry straps are also provided for when you need to quickly grab the bag from your car trunk. Best of all, a special buckle and strap are included that change the Pro VII into a sling-style bag. If you're using the bag in a shooting mode, this feature permits you to remains hands-free - so when you pull your camera out from the top of the bag, you won't have to be concerned about the bag getting in your way while working.

This is really the final piece of the OLD jigsaw, which explains the good and the not so good relationship between those selling or indeed letting houses, and their appointed estate agents.
Knowing how to better this is knowing how to shape the future. May you enjoy reading it and may all those involved in such matters, prosper from the intuition they can gain from this unique muse about the housing market.
Here's the thing. Human beings are, by nature, essentially optimistic. Fine…
Given this however, a group of sales people calling themselves estate agents, have as their main strategy (or business model) a plan to do their market appraisals in an overly optimistic way to beat their competitor agents and get an increased share of business as a result. Unfortunately, this is an extremely bad business model.
The given objective of this 'flawed' plan is to find sufficient business, or selling contracts and for a proportion of these to convert into actual commission - in the end!
The rest? Ah well… as they say, is history
Some houses will just languish on the agent's books in a downturn, simply gaining the agent concerned, extra advertising kudos and may with luck and a tail wind eventually become actual sales.
Some will get sold at a reduction, at the request of the client but will still earn the agent good sales commission.
Some will get withdrawn unsold but then will usually move to a fellow agent's books so in most cases the agents, as a troupe, will continue to sell most of the houses actually sold and will therefore be unperturbed about the lengthy time it takes to sell on average.
The majority of sellers (or clients) on the other hand, will have to be more patient than ever, especially in the downturn, and most will need to be content merely with being hopeful of success whilst this scenario is playing itself out; that is if they wish to get a sale at anywhere near the level of prices being chalked up by the troupes of agents competing with each other for their initial instructions! How very sad.
To look at things from a more revealing angle and help to put things into a new perspective (whilst not wishing to extol the virtues of the average estate agent unduly), their behaviour is more akin to that of eagles preying upon far more numerous but much slower-flying cranes. We are told by the venerable David Attenborough in one of his nature programmes recently, that cranes actually started to become the eagle's staple diet in the high Himalayas, where eagles originated from many moons ago. To explain, in this simile the cranes are the house-owners whilst the estate agents are the eagles, more recently evolved, but preying upon cranes to obtain their food (or in the case of estate agents, their commission).
It may be seen in this new light that agents (or eagles as there may more appropriately be described) are cleverer and more adept than the average crane (or house-owner). They should therefore be respected rather than being denigrated, for they are far from being unintelligent or stupid although understandably, some cranes with strong feelings may sometimes wish to try and portray them as such!
The fact is, there's a finite pattern occurring here. It's that the agents have evolved to a state higher in the 'food chain' than the cranes.
One way forward may be for all cranes to understand or accept this and perhaps slowly begin to teach the eagles to start eating seed rather than meat? That, I think you will agree, would be unlikely. It simply wouldn't work would it.
It would seem that the only other alternative, and therefore the way to go, is for the eagles themselves to begin to realise (amongst themselves) that killing for food, won't bring them everlasting satisfaction. There is always a downside to killing. It may well stave off hungry days in the immediate term but it isn't a passport to becoming 'loved' in the community - the plethora of life on Earth as we know it. Ultimately, it will leave them frustrated, hated, unhappy and despised, as if they are poachers stealing from their own employers.
So, the thrust for change needs to come from within estate agency itself. Those agents that want to become truly respected and accepted professionally, must themselves change and primarily help and serve each individual client, instead of playing the stakes by putting their own potential profits first and foremost - as an average or bog-standard eagle might.
That's a difficult thing for any predatory form of life to start doing of course, let alone the average estate agent. For this reason we suggest 'society' needs to help them to achieve this by being more mindful and aware about agents' concerns and their worries for their own survival. We need to teach them not to kill but to improve their own behaviour, ultimately changing their whole mode of operation, or lifestyle. To do this we should support them in the process of getting a new and better life which they can only achieve by helping each individual client of theirs to succeed in their individual quest to move house.
Things would really start flying in the housing market if that happened. For all those who understand this new way, lets bring it on and let the good times roll.
How can this be quickly achieved? Estate agents simply need to look at adopting new and better methods of doing their clients' market appraisals more accurately. Those who want to find out exactly how to do this, please go to the Property Match (UK) web site or read this blog for an overview.
Instead, right now, a widening gap is opening up between those who can afford houses and those who can't. Do we think the coalition government has a mandate to remedy this? You bet.
One has to question the wisdom of any government that will allow such confusion to occur in the housing market in modern society on their watch, especially when the growth generated by a smoother running housing market could make all the difference between economic success and failure for the very government concerned.

Baby Boom Of Gray Whales Attributed To Early Ice Melt
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Credit: NOAA Fisheries Northwest
A baby boom of gray whales migrated through California waters this spring. There were twice as many calves born this season over last, according to NOAA.
More than 1,100 gray whale calves completed their first-ever 5,000-mile northward migration, from the warm water lagoons of Mexico to the Arctic Circle. That's twice as many calves as last year, according to Wayne Perryman, biologist with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center.
Perryman helped count the cow/calf pairs along their journey.
"We're counting them as they migrate northbound past a little point of land near San Simeon California, and that's a site that cows and calves pass very very close to the beach," he said.
Perryman said the boom occurred because the Arctic ice cover melted early last spring, which enabled pregnant females early access to vital feeding areas.
"So if a female is pregnant and she's going back up north, if ice is slow to melt, then she can't get to the feeding ground and I think the odds of that pregnancy going to term are diminished."
Pregnant females fast during the four-month round-trip migration, so it's important for them to fatten up quickly upon their return in May to the North Pacific, added Perryman.
"Cause if you're going to reproduce and you're a gray whale, you want to be a fat girl, because the next season you're going to give birth to the calf, and you're going to fast and lactate at the same time," he said.
Mature gray whales eat small crustaceans and tube worms found in sediments along the sea floor. Calves drink 50 to 80 gallons of their mother's milk per day.
Perryman said when the whales returned to their feeding grounds this year, the ice was extensive and slow to melt in the Bering Sea.
"So I'm predicting that next year we'll see a dramatic drop in calf production."
The whales begin their annual southern migration in October as the northern Arctic ice pushes southward.
The Pacific gray whale population stands at about 20,000. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994.

A War Zone of the Soul
Dr. W. Lee Warren's life as a neurosurgeon in a trauma center began to unravel long before he shipped off to serve the Air Force in Iraq in 2004. When he traded a comfortable if demanding practice in San Antonio, Texas, for a ride on a C-130 into the combat zone, he was already reeling from months of personal struggle.
At the 332nd Air Force Theater Hospital at Joint Base Balad, Iraq, Warren realized his experience with trauma was just beginning. In his 120 days in a tent hospital, he was trained in a different specialty - surviving over a hundred mortar attacks and trying desperately to repair the damages of a war that raged around every detail of every day. No place was safe, and the constant barrage wore down every possible defense, physical or psychological.
One day, clad only in a T-shirt, gym shorts, and running shoes, Warren was caught in the open while round after round of mortars shook the earth and shattered the air with their explosions, stripping him of everything he had been trying so desperately to hold on to.
Warren's story is an example of how a person can go from a place of total loss to one of strength, courage, and victory. Whether you are in the midst of your own crisis of faith, failed relationship, financial struggle, or illness, you will be inspired to remember that how you respond determines whether you survive - spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes physically.
It is the beginning of a long journey home.
W. Lee Warren, MD, is a board-certified neurosurgeon and patented inventor. He lives in Auburn, Alabama, with his wife and business partner, Lisa Warren, and their children. Dr. Warren has a BS in Biochemistry from Oklahoma Christian University and an MD from the University of Oklahoma. He practices minimally invasive brain and spinal surgery, develops new technologies with his wife through their company, Warren Innovation, and is an affiliate professor of biomedical sciences at Auburn University. In his spare time he plays guitar, writes songs, and recently completed his first novel, Kill Switch. Visit Lee at www.wleewarrenmd.com.

There is a topic that people tend to keep behind closed doors. It's something that everyone does, but yet, we almost never discuss it. Well, it's time to open that door and talk about what goes on in your bathroom. Yes, it may sound strange, but just pretend you're chatting with friends at a pajama party. That's exactly how the conversation started for me.
I attended a get together hosted by Danielle of Simmworks Family Blog. She was a wonderful party hostess who shared her food and wine with us all. As we talked and got to know everyone, the conversation turned to our kids, motherhood, and our bathroom habits. It was interesting to hear how our care routines were similar, and where they varied. It was refreshing to be able to talk freely and to learn something we might not have otherwise known.
That's why Cottonelle has partnered with Cherry Healey, to get the conversation flowing. We all go to the bathroom, so why not talk about it to make sure you're getting the best possible clean? Still feeling shy? It's okay, I'll start.
As a mom, I rarely get a bathroom break to myself. That's why it's so important that I take care of business when I do go. I can't spend forever in the bathroom while The First Mate wreaks havoc throughout the house. Or worse, he starts asking questions about mommy's parts and my menstrual cup. I'm not ready to field those questions just yet, he isn't not even two!
My old routine just involved toilet paper. I would fold up some squares wipe, and repeat. Yes, I'm a folder. However, at times I also throw in the other two. In case you weren't aware, there are three types of toilet paper methods.
|Which way do you wipe?
Now that I've discovered the Cottonelle Care Routine, things are not only quicker, but cleaner too. The ridges of Cottonelle are my first step to clean. I still fold and wipe with the TP, but then I follow up with a cleansing cloth. I'm left feeling fresh in a flash. Another bonus to my new found bathroom system is I use less toilet paper. Those rolls can get expensive. I mean, The Captain goes through a roll a day in most cases. He's a clean freak and a germaphobe, The addition of cleansing cloths has helped limit his TP use too.
|Image provided by Cottonelle
I'll admit, the idea of wipes seemed odd at first. I had mentioned it to The Captain a few times, but he didn't want to feel like a baby wiping his bum. Once he saw the sleek design of the Cottonelle Cleansing Cloths, it was clear that these were not baby wipes. They inconspicuously fit right into any bathroom decor and are easily refillable. Once you experience that ultra clean feeling you are left with, you won't have doubts any longer. They've got their permanent home on the back of our toilet now.

HP 150 - an HP with a touch screen, and an electronic roledex in 1983.
Also, they just put this guys phone number, area code and all, on blast right up on the screen.
This HP salesman is actually doing a good job selling a device with software well integrated to a touch screen.
And Gary follows up asking "do you foresee the touchscreen replacing the keyboard?" and he's kind of smug about how no one is going to re-write their software to interact with a touchscreen.
(I type, with an onscreen keyboard.)
Oooh, Gary is throwing all kinds of shade.
Talking about arm fatigue. Talking about how slow touchscreen interaction is.
But the key takeway remains tight hardware/software integration, which is sorely missing.
This HP has a printer built in to the monitor.
It uses a 3.5" floppy, has an integrated touchscreen, and a built in printer.
I wonder what OS it uses.
The IBM dinosaur is talking about LANs and how important they will be in the future.
And they Gary jumps in and says, essentially "Yes networking, but not just LANs. LANs are complicated and expensive", and then describes, more or less, the internet.
I really like Gary.
And now the HP sales guy is going off on voice controlled computers, and everyone else just kind of side eyes him.
I'm really enjoying #computerchronicles
Looks like the HP 150 used an 8088, and was not PC compatible.
Ran a custom DOS version. The touchscreen was infrared based, and the computer was "difficult to program" according to BYTE magazine.
On to Episode 2! (I'm going to continue liveblogging.)
oooh! Apple Lisa!
I still love Gary, just FYI. He's the best.
I've never used CP/M before, and never seriously thought about it before today.
Any grizzled CP/M veterans out there wanna give me the rundown?
Gary just name dropped Allen Kay and smalltalk.
Okay, here's a LISA engineer talking about seeing high resolution graphics at Xeorx back in the 70s.
And the LISA guy is talking smack about the software limitations of the Xerox star (and with good reason, IMO.)
Man, this John guy from the LISA team is pretty fun.
He's a nerd, and he believes in his product, and I think that's great.
Gary's here talking smack again. He has a strong vision for computing.
Oh snap, I didn't realize John was a Former VP at apple when he came on the show.
He's talking about a thing he helped build, but is no longer involved with.
I think that means he's genuinely proud of the LISA.
I need to look in to him some more.
Man, the LISA is way snappier than I expected, even with a lot of programs open.
Oh man! We have a VISICalc guy demoing the VISI On GUI
IIRC, Visi On had crazy DRM that prevented it from being well preserved.
I'll have to dig around and see if that's still the case.
Oh shit, now we have hte other host throwing shade.
Asking the VISICorp guy about Lotus 123 (that is, asking the guy from the company that invented digital spreadsheets about the competitor that ate his lunch.)
Now the LISA (but no longer with Apple) guy is talking about Macros, but calling them "Programming by example"
Which, TBH, is a great way to describe macros.
VISI ON looks neat. I might noodle around with it sometime.
I always found visicalc a touch too inscrutable for my tastes, but I never bothered to try and learn it properly either.
And now we're on to Synths!
Computer Music time.
@ajroach42 MS-DOS (but not PC compatible)
@ajroach42 I still have a working Kaypro 4.
@ajroach42 ever used early versions of MS-DOS...? Pretty much the same thing.
@EvaSkeeva DOS was a daily driver for a number of years, yeah.
@ajroach42 yes there was quite a jumble...in that era, but MS made the deal by buying a cp/m like clone from a guy then quickly tweaked it and under cut everyone and made the deal with IBM to be the OS of thier new PC's. It was a OS that handled disk operations and had a command interpreter with a set group of commands and a basic programming language interpreter. Apple and others were already way ahead of IBM at that time
@ajroach42 What do you want to know? First real micro OS. MSDOS borrowed a lot of ideas from it.
Did it work well? Was it frustrating to use?
@ajroach42 Worked great. Ran a BBS on one for years. The MSDOS file tree is better than CP/M, but it looks and feels like MSDOS for the most part.
@Ricardus I know that CP/M was available on many different hardware architectures.
I'm assuming software would need to be cross compiled between systems, and there wasn't some kind of early VM?
@ajroach42 I've run CP/M emulators on MSDOS, but not a VM as we know them today. I think CP/M was mostly on Z80 machines.
@Ricardus Thanks for the info.
@ajroach42 That video has a demo of Concurrent DOS, and I love how one of the other guests on the show says the multitasking OS brings no real value to the table because it's not really an app that does anything. And we're going to have to sell the general public on the idea of multitasking. 😃
@ajroach42 Gary Kildall and Digital Research (his company) also made a better, multi-tasking MSDOS clone that SHOULD have been what PC's shipped with in the 80s instead of MSDOS. The world would probably be a better place if it had happened. We would have traded Bill Gates for Gary, but Gary was a hippie and environmentalist type and probably a better guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skri1h3Zjrw
@Ricardus Gary seems like a cool dude.
And DR DOS is pretty great.
IIRC, there was an antitrust lawsuit where microsoft was proven to have stolen some bits of DR DOS?
@ajroach42 There were so many lawsuits I don't even remember.
@ajroach42 Dont accidentally overwrite the base page. It's different than DOS.
@ajroach42 I would say, if you want to try it properly, try the PC version, not the original Apple II version, for one specific reason: the Apple II version has a hackish workaround, around the fact that the Apple II originally didn't have up or down arrows on its keyboard. This can make things... confusing.
The PC version, you have FOUR arrow keys. Such luxury.
Also, it might help to start with an early version of 1-2-3, which shows you what the / menu options actually *do*.
@ajroach42 It's been preserved (including Kryoflux) and cracked: http://toastytech.com/guis/vision.html
@bhtooefr It was Toastytech where I originally read about the DRM. Glad to know that didn't doom the software to obscurity.
@ajroach42 DRM tends to work on business and educational software, too, so cracking it for preservation is of the highest priority.
AFAIK @email@example.com's Apple II cracking project started as a way to preserve games that had only been preserved in a tampered state (crack screens, missing content to fit into space constraints, and even sometimes partial cracks), but quickly focused on cracking stuff that had never been preserved.
@ajroach42 toastytech has a download for it
@samis I saw!

My apologies for the late posting. I have been busy for these past few days.
0:01:33 Gaming News
Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass (Costs $40)
I don't know whether I should have been surprised to see this or not. This is the logical extension of the pre-order/season pass system. It was bound to happen, and giving Warner Bros. awful history in its short time as a well-known publisher, they were going to be one of the ones to push as far as they did.
It is interesting how publishers don't seem to realize that this system subtly encourages consumers to just wait for the collector's edition, with all of the DLC content included. Playing the launch day-edition is almost a fool's proposition, unless you are extremely sure that you'll enjoy the content.
PT has been completely removed from the PS Store.
Even worse, all active copies now have an expiration date. It's less a condemnation of Konami, but more of an acknowledgement of the consequences of the brave, new world of digital gaming.
As an addendum: Since the time of record, SuperBunnyHop's video on Konami temporarily received a takedown notice, but Konami failed to file it correctly.
0:24:20 Sam bought a new gaming monitor.
This one specifically, or a similar model.
Sam spends the rest of this segment talking nerdy to us. And we also talk about how it's changed his gaming habits.
0:40:10 Sam purchased the New 3DS.
Ignoring the confusing name, Nintendo is terrible about the transfer process. At least the customer support was good enough.
0:51:30 Sam beat Dark Souls 2: Scholars of the First Sin
And we talk about it's differences with the base game.
0:57:35 Garrett is sick as a dog.
And a title was born.
Here is the hot kool-aid video he was talking about.
1:02:35 Garrett talks League of Legends.
1:08:55 I played Resonance of Fate
To get an idea of what kind of hilarity is in this game: Here are both the raisins scene and the hand slap scene.
Though the combat is extremely difficult to explain, it's really fun to play. There's a ton of strategy involved and it looks really stylish.
Side note: You can hear the South in Sam's voice when he pronounced "naked" as "nekkid".
1:24:50 I finished up Drakengard 3.
As we said before, this series and the world it takes place it is so very rich and fascinating. In a way, it's basically a giant criticism of video games, fantasy worlds, and the people who enjoy them. It's undeniably dark, and I love it for precisely that reason.
I also wrote a piece about how the game lampshades its mechanics. It can be found here.
1:38:35 We played more FUSE together.
The only reason parts of this game are fun and/or funny is because the rest of the game is so bland, monotonous, and boring that any sort of mildly interesting stimuli causes some sort of reaction. Those parts are less amusing in and of themselves and more interesting in light of the fact that everything else is so boring.
1:47:50 Chris has been playing Splatoon's Global Test Fire.
Sounds pretty fun.
1:59:00 Wrapping Up
Once again, my Drakengard 3 article here.

22 December 2011
The move follows BP Solar's gradual scaling down of its solar business over the past few years.
The UK's Guardian newspaper reported that Mike Petrucci, chief executive of BP Solar, has written to his remaining 100 staff, saying "the continuing global economic challenges have significantly impacted the solar industry, making it difficult to sustain long-term returns for the company."
A spokesman for the wider BP group speaking to the Guardian said the decreasing value worldwide of solar panels – partly as a result of low-cost competition from China – had convinced BP that it had no future in a "commoditised" business.
But the spokesman said BP was fulfilling its previous commitment to spend US$8bn on renewable power up to the year 2015 - and was continuing to "forge ahead" with onshore wind in the U.S., and biofuels worldwide.
BP is the latest company to bemoan the falling price in solar technology, following the bankruptcies of Solyndra and Evergreen, and the legal dispute between a number of U.S. solar manufacturers and the Chinese Government (which has been accused of flooding the U.S. market with cheap panels to drive U.S. companies out of business).

Archi-Minis - A real export product!
- On 06/02/2020
The Archi-Minis are exporting better and better and start to travel around the world.
8 Archi-Mini's already found a home in the USA in Pasadena, Salt Lake City, Washington and New York.
The latest sale is underway to Panama City and should find a very appropriate place in one of the highest buildings overthere, the JW Marriott Tower (see picture on the followup page).
In Europe these small architectural art objects mainly go to France and The Netherlands.
Recently an art collector in the Netherlands sent me a picture to show what a great place she gave to Archi-Mini 5B in her office.
The artwork is in really good company with the Pythagorus tree from Koos Verhoef on the left and a sculpure from Henk Rusman on the right. And what a coincidence, together with these dutch artists I took part in the Essentie exhibitions.
I'm very happy to see one of my creations getting such a nice place. Magnifique!

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary – a place of relaxation, rest, calm, peace. If it's cluttered and unorganized finding peace there will be difficult. Personally, I like to keep as much "stuff" out of my bedroom as possible. There are pieces of furniture, yes, but very few items on display. Everything in its place.
This is of course easier to accomplish if you have a large walk-in closet in which to store all of your clothes, shoes and jewelry. If that isn't an option for you, consider the following tips:
- Under bed storage is an often under-utilized space. Consider flat plastic storage bins, or even attractive low-profile baskets to store everything from your favorite scarves and belts to less-used ski pants or backpacking gear.
- Consider your nightstand: Using a dresser as a night stand, or just a night stand with drawers can be a great way to provide extra bedroom organization. Drawers like this for books, trinkets, socks, gloves, etc are a great use of space and often better for organizing than just a nightstand table.
- Shelves, shelves, shelves! Save space with corner shelves, or create a decorative "built-in" headboard with shelves on which to place books, tchotchkes, photos and more. We at Space Creators of Grand Junction would LOVE to design a headboard with shelving for you!
- Ottomans and stools with storage are another great option for storing extra blankets or pillows. These are a nice addition because they provide seating but also hidden storage.
- Decorative hooks can be a nice addition for hanging scarves or jewelry. We don't recommend hanging jackets or other large bulky items on your bedroom walls, but certainly necklaces, scarves, and other light, attractive items can add to your room's decor while also helping to organize it.
For more ideas on organizing your bedroom, give Space Creators of Grand Junction a call or visit our website: www.gjspacecreators.com
