Recently the Tennessee Supreme Court modified the summary judgment standard in state courts in the state of Tennessee. The Tennessee Supreme Court returned the state's summary judgment standard to be consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by overturning the seven-year old precedent in Hannan v. Alltel Publishing Co. that it said "frustrate[d] the purposes for which summary judgment was intended."
In Rye v. Women's Care Center of Memphis, the court ruled that Rule 56 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, which governs summary judgment proceedings, should be interpreted like the nearly identical Federal Rule 56 after which it was modelled.
In general, summary judgment is a weapon used by a litigant, usually a defendant, to force the opposing party to show its proverbial poker hand. Under the federal standard, the moving party either 1) provides affidavits or evidence collected through discovery to show that no genuine issue of material fact exists between the parties for a factfinder to resolve, or 2) argues that the nonmoving party has no evidence to support his claim or defense. The burden of proof is then shifted to the nonmoving party to produce any evidence that either creates a question of fact or supports that he has a claim. Any evidence is weighed to the benefit of the nonmoving party. If the judge finds that the evidence shows no genuine issue of material fact or that the nonmoving party doesn't have an adequate claim or defense, the case is dismissed with prejudice and cannot be refiled.
But Tennessee courts have long struggled with interpreting Rule 56, leading to debate over whether the state followed the federal standard or offered a higher standard for summary judgment. The majority in Rye said the confusion was created by the 1993 decision in Byrd v. Hall, in which the court didn't clearly explain whether the state followed the federal standard or applied a higher standard that required the moving party to affirmatively negate the nonmoving party's claims. Then Hannan happened.
In an attempt to clarify the standard, the Hannan court declared that Tennessee's standard for summary judgment was higher than the federal one, and required the moving party to "affirmatively negate an essential element of the nonmoving party's claim or … show that the nonmoving party cannot prove an essential element at trial."
The unintended effect of the Hannan court's use of the phrase "at trial," commentators have noted, was to shift the burden of proof away from the nonmoving party, usually a plaintiff that would ordinarily have the burden of proving his claim, and force the defendant to completely disprove the claim. Essentially, the nonmoving party could usually prevail without having to produce evidence to support his claim because the moving party could rarely completely disprove the case. Rather than clarify how summary judgment could be obtained, the Hannan decision actually clarified that summary judgment was virtually unattainable.
The Rye court criticized the Hannan rule as "unworkable," and revived the burden-shifting federal standard. While litigants, particularly defendants, may feel some relief by the Rye decision, the effect will be somewhat dampened by the fact that it only applies to cases filed before July 1, 2011. Cases filed on or after that date are governed by Tenn. Code. Ann. 20-16-101, in which the Tennessee Legislature mandated the courts follow a procedure similar to the burden-shifting federal standard. Rye ensures that all litigants are playing under the same rules regardless of when the claim was filed.

Touting achievements such as increased transparency that mark his own personal stamp on the Federal Reserve Board, as well as economic achievements in the wake of the devastating 2008 financial crisis, Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday summed up his two terms at the helm of the central bank.
Continue Reading Below
"Fostering transparency and accountability at the Federal Reserve was one of my principal objectives when I became Chairman in February 2006," Bernanke said in prepared remarks. "I had long advocated increased transparency and, in particular, a more explicit policy framework as ways to make monetary policy more predictable and more effective."
Bernanke, who was first appointed by Republican President George W. Bush and again by Democrat Barack Obama, is stepping down on Jan. 31. His likely successor, current Fed Vice-Chair Janet Yellen is expected to be approved by a full Senate vote on Monday.
Bernanke set out making the Fed more transparent early in his tenure. In October 2007, the policy setting Federal Open Market Committee introduced a quarterly Summary of Economic Projections, which included FOMC members' forecasts of key macroeconomic variables such as inflation, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, and the unemployment rate.
Then the U.S. housing market collapsed, leading to a credit crisis that rocked global financial markets. In late 2008 the Fed began initiating a series of unprecedented and unorthodox methods for staving off another Great Depression.
"The crisis and its aftermath … raised the need for communication and explanation by the Federal Reserve to a new level," said Bernanke in a speech before the annual meeting of the American Economics Association in Philadelphia. "We took extraordinary measures to meet extraordinary economic challenges, and we had to explain those measures to earn the public's support and confidence."
Over time, the FOMC added long-run projections of inflation, growth, and unemployment, Bernanke noted, as well as forecasts of the path of the target federal funds rate consistent with each FOMC members' views of appropriate monetary policy.
The Fed "took another important step" in January 2012, according to Bernanke, when the FOMC issued a statement laying out its longer-run goals and policy strategy.
Shortly after that Bernanke introduced his quarterly press conference, an almost-unthinkable precedent, especially given the secrecy that surrounded his predecessors Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan.
"The increases in policy transparency that were achieved proved valuable during a very difficult period for monetary policy," Bernanke said.
Under his stimulus policies, including massive asset purchases, known as quantitative easing, and years of near-zero interest rates, both designed to pump money into the markets and fuel economic growth, the U.S. economy "has made considerable progress," the Fed chief noted.
Were these unprecedented interventions successful, Bernanke asked.
"Skeptics have pointed out that the pace of recovery has been disappointingly slow, with inflation-adjusted GDP growth averaging only slightly higher than a 2 percent annual rate over the past few years and inflation below the FOMC's 2 percent longer-term target," he conceded.
The recovery has faced "powerful headwinds," however, according to Bernanke, and if not for powerful stimulus highlighted by very loose monetary policy "economic growth might well have been considerably weaker, or even negative," he said.
The Fed chief ticked off a number of statistics to back up his assertion that stimulus did more good than harm: since the recession ended nearly five years ago payroll employment has risen by 7.5 million jobs; real GDP has grown in 16 of 17 quarters, and the level of real GDP in the third quarter of 2013 was 5.5% above its pre-recession peak; the unemployment rate has fallen from 10% in the fall of 2009 to 7% in November; industrial production and equipment investment have matched or exceeded pre-recession peaks.
Finally, he added, "the banking system has been recapitalized, and the financial system is safer."

The Orlando Sentinel: What is the psychological impact, both short term and long term, of being a political hostage?
Bruce Laingen: We all obviously had scars of some kind. Simply to be denied your freedom for any length of time is a very corrosive thing. It hurts. And the long-term effect of that is not so much psychological but a renewed appreciation of what freedom means, in particular in our country. When we were gone, many psychiatrists speculated that we would come back in some state of disrepair. I don't think any of us did, in the long term at least.

"I'M IN shock," says José Trinidad Baldenegro. "In despair."
On the phone from the city of Chihuahua in Mexico's arid north, he's telling me about his older brother, Isidro Baldenegro López, an activist and leader of the indigenous Tarahumara people. For years, Baldenegro had endured numerous threats as a result of his work protecting the country's ancient forests from illegal logging. But one stormy afternoon in January, standing by a goat pen outside his uncle's house in the village of Coloradas de la Virgen, Baldenegro was shot six times in the chest, stomach and legs. He died a few hours later.
His killing its a deadly pattern across the region: Latin America is now the most dangerous place in the world for environmental activists, according to a 2016 report by Article 19, a British human rights group. More than 122 activists were killed in the region in 2015, one of the deadliest years on record, according to the most recent study from Global Witness, another nongovernmental organization.
Mexico has emerged as one of the most perilous countries in the region. Organized crime, state-sanctioned intimidation and near-total impunity have proved to be a hazardous and often deadly combination for the many activists trying to protect the country's natural resources. In Jan uary, Mexico's Center for Environmental Rights (CEMDA) released a report that documented 63 attacks against environmental activists in 2015 and 2016. However, this only included cases reported on by the media or other NGOs, so the number could be much higher.

Other then the benefits of superior technology, however, Obama has yet to be nearly as tyrannical as one of the figures that was mentioned.
The far right, as typically defined, however, doesn't have such a serious problem with the phone wiretapping, the indefinite detention without trial (They think it will only be used against terrorists), Guantanamo Bay, drone strikes, foreign wars, drug wars, exc.
You guys would probably agree with me a lot of the time, if not all the time, on fiscal issues, and I agree with the right that abortion is evil and should be banned, although I do believe the Constitution grants enforcement of anti-murder laws to the states. But that's probably where it ends. I don't really care much about the gay marriage issue, I strongly support the legalization of drugs, I hate the Patriot Act and the TSA regardless of who's in power, I hate foreign wars regardless of which American President starts them, exc.
As for the modern list, I don't happen to be a big fan of Enyart (Open theism, ugh) but at least I can understand why that... but why Tood Akin? Or are you thinking of someon else?
Granted, I don't hate Akin for his gaffe (I don't know much about him politically, if he's an ultra-national security conservative like so many others I'd probably dislike him for different reasons but I absolutely agree with him that abortion in cases of rape and incest should not be legalized) but I just don't see why he's particularly important.

'These are my confessions.' ~ Usher
I opened up an email today and saw the weekly best blogs from Elephant Journal that gets sent to me through some subscription that I signed up for and rarely use but only costs me a few dollars a year. One of the featured posts was written by a Yogini, who used 'Confessions' in the title and it made me laugh.
When I first wrote AUM Vol. 1, I thought it would be funny to add, 'Confessions of a Mystic / Diary of a Psychic' to the title. I settled with Rebirth because I got teased extensively by my former landlady/friend Patrice, who was also a comedienne, and had writings of her own. But when I think about it, when I remove the labels and judgments, The SImple Voice, AUM, the yet unpublished It'll Be Okay, all of these really are my confessions, my reflections on what is reflected around me in this Life and how I have processed it.
I am super grateful for my Life. I don't always feel like doing cartwheels about that, but I'm cool with that.
"What is Life? I try to see. What is Life? It's Unity. What is Life? I try to feel. It's really real… " the words echo and this hook is an alteration from the first which ends with "It's looking bleak…" but it's Truth, all the variants of the hook of this Black Uhuru song are Truth, explanations and words coming at it from different angles.
I have listened to a great deal of music in my Life, read a large number of books, both from a great many genres and they all paint such powerful pictures of feeling and Being that when viewed like a movie, or as a whole, match and balance and my favorite, have meaning.
But meaning is only there if we choose. That is what makes our choices so valuable. One Right is another's Wrong. It's all in how our perspectives understand puzzle and put the pieces together so that at the end of the Ride along Life's Road, the + Being leaves the Human vessel content.
With that. I shall stop, for with this expression, confession, of my Life Reflections, as they are Here and Non, for with all of the above, content I am.

I went to sleep earlier and got up this early, so I'm gonna write music with a new candle lit.
You know something about the candle wick?
The candle burns slowly and lasts a long time if you cut the wick head a little bit before you set it up.
This candle smells wonderful and I love it, so I always do that.
A lot of words are written on it and I have no idea what's the name part, but seems like it's the "Mandarin&Cassis" type by something like Pure Soy Candle or Casa.
Whew~ It smells so good~
*takes a deep breath* *lets it out slowly* *takes a deep breath* *lets it out slowly*
What the heck is MandarinandCassis Completely have no idea but it smells good~

FRANKLIN – Milford's J.P. Young took the lead from the start, and he kept it until the end with vigorous force on the 400-meter dash during the inaugural Hockomock Unified Track Meet at Franklin High Thursday.
With 10 Hockomock towns involved, Unified track is an all-inclusive high school athletic program that allows athletes with and without disabilities to compete on the same level. Young, a special needs student from Milford High School, was one of the day's standouts in the 400 dash.
Blaize Hayes, assistant coach for Milford's Unified Track team, said that watching how excited her athletes get when it's their turn to compete is the best part.
"They're just the best," she said. "You see J.P. (Young), he's special needs and the fastest runner on the team."
Hayes said when she was in high school around 2010, the Unified Sports program did not exist. Seeing it in full-swing now, she said has been an inspiring experience.
"It's probably the best thing I've ever seen," she said. "It doesn't matter if they're special needs, some kids will run with each other around the track as a team if one of the kids is falling behind or seems tired. They all go cheer him on. It's better than any sport I've seen."
Thursday's event was designed to flesh out the athlete's skill levels and put them into groups for the upcoming sectional meet.
Franklin High School athletic director Tom Angelo said that with Unified Sports, performance is important in a way but being there means so much more.
"With Unified Sports it doesn't matter," he said. "Everyone is doing their best here. We're all in this together."
Angelo said that the records taken from Thursday's meet will be broken down and split up to organize the competitions for the upcoming sectional meet. No athletes will be cut from competition, he said, only moved to a level in which they perform best.
The top five finishers from sectionals in each tier will go on to the state meet, Angelo said.
"For some of them it's the first time a group of people or a crowd has cheered them on," he said. "Parents come up to me, some with tears in their eyes, saying 'thanks for giving my kid this opportunity to participate,' and that's the amazing thing about Unified Sports."
Police Chief Thomas Lynch and his wife, Katie, president of the Franklin High Boosters Organization, attended the meet to support their son Declan, 16.
"Although our path has been different, it's been a very special path," Katie said. "Here, you'll see the kids with special needs excel past the kids that are 'typical.' You might have a kid with autism, but they can run faster."
Declan, Katie said, started throwing the javelin about six feet, but now can throw it 36 feet, making him the state champ last year.
But winning isn't what Unified Sports are about, said Thomas Lynch.
"It's about the inclusivity of all the kids, regardless of whether they have special needs or not," he said. "When I look at (Declan) I don't see a kid with special needs, he's my son."

In order to project my thoughts I found I also had to reflect over the last ten years and I'll tell you why. Pretty much all that has happened, good and not so good over the last ten years, I never would have imagined. Here are just a few of those unexpected realizations:
• Leaving our dream home and moving to a new city
• Changing churches
• My son attending a Christian University
• My son having a precious Christian girlfriend (Oh, I imagined the Christian girlfriend, just not yet. I was praying he'd at least be in his 20's before he started dating...LOL)
• Flying to North Carolina on my own
• Driving to Virginia on my own
• Finding my best friend unexpectedly by Walking Thru the Bible on-line
• My dad spending 9 months in the hospital
• Caring for aging parents becoming a weekly part of my life
• Being employed at a Christian Bookstore – that had been my dream job and the offer came unexpectedly
• Placing third in a writing competition with entrants from all across Canada
• Having surgery to remove a cancerous mass
• Losing my hair to chemotherapy
• Becoming friends with a dog…hahaha…I've always been terrified of dogs
• Speaking at Ladies Events
• Actually getting to volunteer at the Proverbs31 Office
• Attending the She Speaks conference three times
• My mother-in-law and dear friend passing away suddenly with cancer
• Taking violin lessons for a year
• Writing 365 daily devotions
• Making so many American and On-line friends
• Starting three blogs
• Decorating a guest room in our home for my BFF
• Travelling to Florida with my family several times
Those are just some of the "never imagined" occurrences. So…here's the thing…for me to try and surmise anything over the next ten years…I don't dream big enough. So much of what God has planned for me surpasses anything that I could desire. Even the gifts that have come wrapped in "brown paper", the not so pretty packages that I've been given; they have been used to strengthen my faith and develop my character.
Often I have heard Proverbs 29:18 quoted as a basis for intentional living, "Where there is no vision, the people perish…". Vision here is not referring to vision statements or setting goals. Vision here is about hearing from God; a revelation from Him. Without guidance from the Lord there is chaos and no moral or ethical control. The NIV says it clearer: "Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction."
My goal in all areas over the next ten years is to daily be in God's Word and wait on Him and listen to His voice.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

It takes a lot of persistence and dedication to achieving one's goal for success, regardless of what it takes to get there. There are individuals out there with the determination and drive capable of driving their ideas and making them into a reality, which will then turn into financial success, and perhaps more. For Doe Deere, the founder of Lime Crime, building a successful company allowed her to open up and really go after her dreams, and opened up a whole new world of opportunities for her.
Most of what she expressed is that Lime Crime was a way of sharing herself and showing her uniqueness rather than a venture for success and money. Overall, she managed to do both very well, but in the end she wants to empower others more than anything, to reach out and go after their dreams with everything they have.
For Doe Deere, Lime Crime is a representation of many things, and it is not just hair colors or makeup, not even about styles. For Doe Deere, Lime Crime is about women's freedom everywhere. Regardless of what it might be freedom from, she wants to let it be known and get the word out there for all women that they can express themselves and they can succeed. Sometimes this might mean stepping outside some comfort zones, whether it's to try new things or even try to start up a business. In the end it comes down to one thing, which is self-acceptance and believing in oneself, which allows for happiness. It is Doe's mission to show women everywhere they can be successful and express themselves in whatever way they choose, and her company Lime Crime is helping her do just that.

Just about everyday except Sunday . I save Sunday for the Lord
No announcement yet.
3 phase to single phase
new posts
that is how i do it exactly. i gonna have to build me some new ones pretty soon and am trying to figure a better design
Sberry you are repeatedly hammering the guy for trying to use a (very) cheap machine thru whatever is the best means possible and suggested several times that a new machine is the real answer.
May be and may not be.
I remember a few years ago you were building a wood? burning outdoor furnace to help heat your house. I was interested in the idea.
But taking your current stance, you should of just got a store bought furnace, same arguements apply: cheap, tax breaks, warantee, efficient, easy, plug & play.
Could be a wood burner, pellet burner, gas burner.
Why go to all the trouble to make one?
I think you see my feeble point. Just because. Differn't strokes for differn't folks.
Everybody has to have a hobby. And in the current economic state of running a welding business, saved $ are saved $, it's a harsh bidding environment right now and has been for years. Many have gone under, several I personally know of due to higher than needed overhead, based on buying new.
I buy a new stuff when it really makes sense or is my only option but I also kill em at the pawn shops and auctions when appropriate.
And, are you still running the home made furnace? How is it working? I'm building a passive/semi passive solar collector to heat my shack at night, but my climate is way different than yours (brrr).
on edit I'll add that I understand your point of view, and that differing takes can be helpfull even if not followed. But everybody's situation and outlook differs from yours and mine.
I get a kick out of people making something out of nothing, wish I could do it more often.Last edited by JTMcC; 12-05-2012, 06:51 PM.Some days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
Yes, I am still using it and am making another one, a safer version. The old is comfy but once a guy adds some jacket and a couple other issues I faced the possibilities arise,, not much of an issue for a stand alone stove. I really was tempted to look harder for a used add a furnace and you are correct that I should just buy one and get on with it, would be cheaper isn some respects considering my bills go on while I stare at design options. It ranks right up there with root canal, I really dont care much for building them, very tedious, at first it looks like you are making blazing progress,,, then it slows up. All the details and interference issues.
Another project not practical for everyone. ha,,, someties not myself. My bud got a used beauty a while back for 50$ someone wanted out,,, not to be found when needed though,, I suspect in this neck of woods would face the same issue if looking for the 200 to convert.Last edited by Sberry; 12-05-2012, 08:24 PM.

Everybody has their little quirks, eh?
JTSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
One of the great things about this country, was if you wanted to blow your money on something, and learn a lesson, or not learn a lesson, you were free to do so.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....
My apologies for not keeping up here... it's been a very busy summer...
Many posts back, someone inquired as to how many I've done...
Right now, I'm working on a later model CP300, and an Airco that looks to be late '70's vintage. The Airco uses a similar transformer, however, uses buck/boost windings rather than the CP's sliding-commutator tap setup.
The CP-300 is for all practical purposes, identical to the 200... but I set it aside to do testing on the Airco, as I have a buddy that bought a bunch of them at auction with the intention of scrapping, but came to me to see if they'd be single-phase capable, so the CP300 is waiting it's turn.
But to answer the original question... I've done 11 CP200's on my own... the most recent just finished off a 40lb spool.
I've done the same conversion on the SRH-333 (and it's a NICE, STABLE ARC!)... and I did spend some time trying to get the CP-250TS to fly... and it would do spray-mode, but would NOT settle down and do short-arc... but it wasn't designed for short-arc to begin with, so I'm not heartbroken... I just don't spend much time spray-mode into 5/8" plate... so it got rolled to the back of the barn.
Now, there's probably 70 guys that I assisted, either through direct appearance, or telephone and email help, that did CP-series conversions, and I get oh, probably ten to twelve thank-you emails a year from guys that have.
I DID get two inquiries this summer, about a 208/230v ONLY CP200, which I did not realize existed... and I'll be trading the 230/480 CP200 supply in my shop for a 208/230 that a guy bought, and bring that one to the shop to see if I can affect a conversion on it.
I also helped out a guy that had one that was made for 200/230/460 (again, a combination I wasn't aware of)... and he just gave it the smoke-test today, with it wired per the diagram, and he also tried using the 200v taps to get it to fly WITHOUT doing the delta-wye flip on the output side. For some reason, it wasn't happy doing that, so he switched it back, but took photos of his connections prior to changing it back, so I've got an opportunity to look and see if there was a connection error somewhere.
But there's plenty out there.
And as much as the technology has brought us many cool lunchbox welders, getting one that will stomp out 200A continuous duty... or even getting one that has a duty cycle anywhere over 50%, is pretty hard. I've got two lunchboxes, and I run fluxcore in 'em, it's great for situations when I have to assemble something in-situ to get proper alignment, then dismantle and lift it out, then bring it into the shop for finish welding.
My point remains- putting the CP-200 up against anything in similar physical size (an Autoset 250, for example), the CP-200, even if acquired with an old, but useable wire feeder, for $400, will STILL outperform the new machine, and at a small fraction of the investment. One who's willing to make a small investment in time and effort, can easily wind up with a grand in extra funds to help provide other equipment for the shop. When it's personal projects and hobby work, that constitutes a huge chunk of resources. If it's a professional shop where welding is NOT the primary function (i.e., the investment cost cannot be written off), it STILL constitutes a huge savings of resources... and the side-benefit, is one serious welding machine... something that can easily withstand being passed from one operator's hands, to the next, shift-after-shift, and not melt down.
Hey Dave I live in southwest Missouri and there is a CP 200 that had your conversion done to it in Tulsa for sale right now for 1200 dollars. It is pretty widespread.
The great thing to me is how cost effective it is!
Dave is your primary work running a fab shop?

Personally, I didn't really like the texture of my plain cupcakes and have been thinking, perhaps chocolate would be very much prefered instead. So another round of experimenting the "perfect" chocolate cupcakes. This time round, I also try out a different type of frosting. Hmmm.... now where are my kids (who are currently my critics!).

The Sinews of Peace
Short Analysis of Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech and the rhetorical devices used in it

Transcript of The Sinews of Peace
spoken by Winston Churchill Analyzing "The Sinews of Peace" What was the speaker's purpose? What was going on? delivered March 5, 1946 at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri How did Churchill make his argument? The second world war was coming to a close. Germany was on the brink of defeat, and the allies had all but triumphed. The world was looking forward to the future. Winston Churchill was the prime minister of Britain at the time, and had come to the United States with words of wisdom. Churchill emphasized that he was not representing Britain during his visit; He was merely an esteemed man with a message for the people and government of America. Churchill's iconic speech was given for three main purposes: 1. To encourage America to heavily involve itself into the United Nations Organization, or USO. -He believed that only a strong, global organization could prevent further world wars. 2. The United States and Britain should continue to develop a close, permanent alliance in order for peace to continue. 3. America and its allies needed to beware of Russia and the spread of communism. -This part of Churchill's speech is considered by many to be the start of the Cold War. It's simple! (not really). He used various forms of rhetoric, including: Allusion: Churchill references the Bible in two places in his speech, primarily when seeking the cooperation of the United States. "In my father's house, there are many mansions." -John 14:2 Listing: Churchill combines parallelism and listing to spell out the necessity of peace. "...constancy of mind, persistency of purpose, and the grand simplicity of decision shall rule and guide the conduct of the English-speaking peoples in peace as they did in war." This gives Americans the sense that although Britain and the U.S. are separated by the Atlantic, they share a common faith. Personification: Winston gives human qualities to the terms "war and tyranny" in order to present them in a negative light to his audience. He called them, "the gaunt marauders" Diction: Churchill kept his audience interested in part by using a high level of diction. He spoke elegantly and fluently: where the audience could easily understand his points, and feel smart at the same time. Call to Action: Almost as a form of propaganda, Churchill demands that America press the world not to "fall below the level of achievement" of its democracy. -This persuades America to follow his words based upon the challenge Churchill presented to its people, as well as complimenting America's citizens at the same time. Climax: Churchill created several verbal climaxes in his delivery to create a an expanding presence in his speech as it went along. "...all is distorted, all is broken, all is even ground to pulp." This specific quote uses climaxes to create a vivid mental picture. Euphemism: Winston alters his language in some places to present terms in a lighter way. -He presents the United Nations' effort against the Soviet Union as "the overall strategic concept" and the state of eastern Europe as "un-united." Repetition: In order to emphasize a point, Churchill often stopped and restated the beginning of his sentences. This rhetorical strategy also catches the audience's attention. The end. By: Sam Miller Metaphor: Churchill included metaphors as a way to apply a word or phrase to a specific item. "The Sinews of Peace" only sparingly included metaphors. However, the most iconic moment of Churchill's speech was a metaphor. "...an iron curtain has descended across the Continent..." Sources:Full transcript

Roses, Peonies and Thrifty Finds
Hello my friends. Today I have gone through my pictures on the computer that I saved for you. These were my lovely peonies. They are quite finished now as the wind has been atrocious and many downpours had left them sodden. Thank goodness I cut them in plenty of time.
And that sweet bookmark? My dear mother made it for me for Christmas and it is one of the most treasured gifts I have ever received from her.
And that sweet bookmark? My dear mother made it for me for Christmas and it is one of the most treasured gifts I have ever received from her.
Just a snap of a dahlia and the pretty Mother's Day card I received.
The forget-me-nots were quite abundant this year. I had them spread all over the house. Every available vessel had wee blue flowers peeking out.
Such a pretty little flower, so humble.
Such a pretty little flower, so humble.
Alfred de Dalmas. Has not made an appearance in my garden for many, many years. Two years ago I moved it to a new location and lo and behold, gorgeous blooms.
My dear, sweet William Baffin. Never, ever disappoints me.
Oh, you beautiful boy!
While we are talking about flowers, look at this sweetie I picked up. Charming tin with the most vivid colours. Really makes me want to pop something in the oven to fill it with!
And have been very lucky with the pink and green. A yummy pink stripe pillowcase and a little rosebud one as well. A wonderful sheet, all rosy and some stunning Laura Ashley fabric with tiny flowers although I am not sure what pattern this is. Anyone? Adorable all the same though.

Lovely June
Right on time again! The June picture from the BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine. The only thing I am not quite sure about is the silver spotlight lamp. But everything else, beautiful.
Did you see the May issue of Country Living? A wonderful spread on Rachel Ashwell designs. Stunning wallpaper.
And this egg blue chest with the flowers! Where does she find this stuff? I want to visit the sales she visits.
Oh, to dream.

I'm writing this post because I predict that when I release my first (free) mask plan, some people are going to be cheap about the materials and then moan that their mask didn't turn out right.
The main thing that I want to head off is the idea that you can make your own Mod Podge from PVA / Elmers Glue / White Glue. It's nonsense that I have seen in many places, like THIS and this video
Make no mistake, using PVA where I tell you to use Mod Podge will leave your mask a distorted mess, rather than the crisp, sharp polygon mask I am teaching you to make.
As we are talking about being cheap, I will use some budget printer paper to demonstrate. I'm not even going to the extent of diluting the PVA, (as those links above say you should) because that makes it even worse.
I took three 10cm squares of paper, and coated each one evenly with a similar amount of three types of goo. Then I added a 5cm square of the same paper.
- was dry enough to handle in twenty minutes.
- took more than 2 houtrs before it was handleable
- was dry enough to handle in twenty minutes.
This photograph was taken after about 20 hours.
- The Mod Podge coated piece has returned to being quite flat. It has a little curve but no ripples.
- The paper coated with PVA distorts worst of all. It's curved and rippled, even where the extra square is stuck on.
- Polyfacet's Goo – a slight curve but no ripples. The stuck-on square is flat.
Put very simply, PVA is like a liquid plastic. It dries by evapouration and it shrinks as it does, which is why it distorts paper. It takes ages to dry, leaving your work saturated for ages as it distorts.
Mod Podge is, I'm guessing, an acrylic polymer with suspended solids. To test out my guess, I mixed cheap hardware store acrylic varnish with talcum powder. This combination of a fast drying acrylic medium with added solids is MUCH more like Mod Podge. It adds weight and body and it dries rapidly without distorting your work. Gentle curves can be corrected as the mask is assembled. I'll do a tutorial on how to make Polyfacets Goo if anyone needs it.
Watered down PVA might work fine for some craft projects but it makes inferior masks.

If you are interested in a personal story of the severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms which put me in a life-threatening situation then this CFS article is for you.
If you would like a list of the key CFS symptoms necessary for diagnosis, along with conditions that are sometimes missed when CFS is diagnosed, then please click though on the link above to visit my other website.
This article is not recommended for those who are newly diagnosed as it is about severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It is for those who need validation of how serious CFS can be.

Has anyone died of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Can Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) cause death or lead to death?
Yes, although it is extremely rare. It was given as the cause of death in the case of Sophia Mirza in the UK- a case which involved Severe CFS/ME combined with severe mistreatment by the authorities.
2.4.18 The death of Merryn Crofts was reported in the media.
Merryn died on May 23 2017, shortly after her 21st birthday.
Read more at http://stonebird.co.uk/merryn/index.htm
In the magazines that support those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E, news of suicides or death by other health complications are also fairly common.
Note the case of Lynn Gilderdale in the UK. She had had Severe CFS/ME for 17 years at the time when she committed suicide. It made the news as a case of assisted suicide. In order to die she required the cooperation of her mother Kay Gilderdale.
As many people with Severe CFS/ME will know, surviving can be difficult in terms of getting the support and care necessary to stay alive. And severe CFS/ME is indeed life-threatening.
For example, someone's physical ability can drop beneath a level where the person can feed themselves and has trouble being fed. This was true for me.
For other people, their immune system may stop being able to tolerate food. This too can be life-threatening.
Which Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms and life circumstances made the CFS/ME life-threatening for me?
I had reactive hypoglycaemia. I had to eat something every few hours. If not, I would get dizzy, confused, weepy. I could pass out.
Due to muscle fatigue I was unable to feed myself anything other than some snacks by the bed.
I was unable to walk to the kitchen to get food.
I was dependent on council carers. I never knew for sure if or when a carer would turn up.
When a carer was there, care time was tight. It often required me to have great organisational skills and managerial skills to see that I got enough food and that the carer left food and water by the bed. As you can imagine such skills did not come easily with brain fog and severe cognitive difficulties.
I had little speech to ask for what I needed. Over many years, one sentence at a time, I wrote up a good care routine. However few carers took the time to read it.
I had severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS). If a carer wore perfume, the effect on my brain function made it excruciatingly difficult to open and close my mouth to be fed. I suffered temporary paralysis. It was hard to find anyone who would give up perfume in order to help me.
I know that some of you will know what I am talking about when I say life was a constant fight to get enough food into my body to stay alive.
CFS and weight: I went down to 7 Stone (44kg) and fought hard to raise my weight.
The situation was life-threatening because I had severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms without the care to ensure my safety.
If you feel disheartened by this CFS article, please remember that your circumstances may be better than my own.
The advice for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME is to rest. If you are managing to rest whilst keeping your body and mind as active as possible then the healing process is taking place. Many people recover naturally in the course of time.
Many people with CFS/ME never go on to develop severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms.
Who is most likely to develop severe CFS?
Those people who do not have an early CFS/ME diagnosis and do not rest in the early stages are more likely to go on to get severely ill.
But if those factors apply to you, and even if you also are in a situation where your circumstances do not allow you to rest, please remember that this is a page on a website of someone who recovered from severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to live life at a far easier level.
Improvement and even recovery are also possible for you.
Recovery from CFS/ME may seem like a dream to you now. You may be thinking of various reasons why my advice won't help you:
This woman is not being realistic,
...perhaps she wasn't as ill as me,
...perhaps she is different from me in some way,
...perhaps she had more help than I have.
This CFS article is not typical of this website. This website very much focuses on the possibility of LIFE within CFS/ME and the possibility of recovery from CFS/ME.
I also talk about the ultimate "unreality" of illness and how you can cultivate this and various other beliefs to encourage healing to take place.
But I don't want you to take this positivity to mean that I do not take the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome /ME seriously. I, of all people, take them very seriously indeed.
Illness/death/the body are definitely real to us on this level of reality.
So this article has the aim of sharing something of the chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms I had, and how difficult my life situation was. I validate the pain, the difficulty, and the courage of those living with Severe CFS/ME and other chronic illness.
If you are living with CFS symptoms day after day, you have my admiration. Please know that you
are not alone.
It took courage to face up to how ill I was. I needed to do so to motivate myself to take the steps to stay alive.
It took courage to face up to how difficult my situation was. How can we give ourselves credit for survival if we pretend it is easy?
Other people in your life may be in denial about your being ill with CFS/ME. They may not be able to support you right now in facing up to the seriousness of the illness.
I needed help to face up to illness. So I am here now to say to you:
Well done for being willing to know that you have an illness.
Well done for being willing to take CFS/ME seriously.
Well done for taking the steps you need to take to adjust your life in order to survive and find LIFE whilst living with chronic illness.
Well done for having survived to the point where you are here reading this.
It is so great that you are seeking information, validation and understanding of the illness.
And - if you have Severe CFS/ME and cannot sit at a computer - well done for having the willingness to receive the help of another and the determination to read this print-out or have it read to you.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms can overlap with the symptoms of thyroid deficiency which can be treated. Go here to take the Quiz: Do I have a thyroid problem
Most articles on this site give advice on living with chronic illness and on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome recovery, so have a look around.

OK, hate it and love it. But come on, the world is so crowded with books, do we really need to encourage newcomers? And competition? Does anyone actually LIKE competition? The word itself makes me cringe. I keep meaning to write a dystopian futurist novel about a world in which all books except mine are banned, and everyone has to buy lots of copies and read them all the time because there's NOTHING ELSE.
But enough about me.
So, there's this person called Andrea Seigel, and I think she lives in California. From her picture she looks young, which I also hate. She should be suffering now, so she can find fulfilment as an old person (see also, me). And really, I didn't want to read her dumb book. I've got my own hopeless plotless nightmare to finish, not to mention unread manuscripts piling up everywhere. So, I read a few pages, knowing I could throw it away with a clear conscience when it turned out to be awful.
And damn it, it was fantastic. The last thing I liked this much was written by a Pulitzer Prize winner. (Yes, mom, I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but this writer's got a VOICE.)
Anyway, it's called The Kid Table (not sure about the title, my only complaint), it's ostensibly YA (but really, much too good to share with anyone under the age of consent) and Bloomsbury wants to put a very very silly cover on it so people think it's teen chicklit, which it's not. I've inserted two mock-ups just to prove that the cover-misery thing transcends borders. The book won't be out till September, and then only in the US, so I guess all us ex-pats better move back home and stop acting so superior.
Well done, Andrea. Damn damn damn.

Litigation Release No. 16767 / October 16, 2000
Accounting and Auditing Enforcement
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. JACOB ADONI AND VICTOR DOUENIAS, Case No. 97-350 (JAG)(D.N.J.)
The Securities and Exhange Commission today announced the settlement of a federal court action pending since 1997, against Victor Douenias, former shipping manager for The Simone Group, Inc. (Simone), then a NASDAQ shoe manufacturer.
In its complaint, the Commission alleged that Douenias maintained invoices for goods that had not been shipped to customers in a separate file, thus circumventing Simone's internal accounting controls and leading, directly or indirectly, to the falsification of Simone's books and records. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission's complaint, Douenias has agreed to pay $5,000 pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).
At the same time, the Commission issued a settled order pursuant to Section 21C of the Exchange Act against Douenias, requiring him to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations or future violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13b2-1 thereunder. (See Exchange Act Release No. 34-43445/AAER No.1334 ).

Nestled against the wooded hills along the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria is the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. With its steep hills and beautiful Victorian homes, Astoria has been called the "Little San Francisco of the Pacific Northwest." Named for the early fur trader, John Jacob Astor, Astoria offers the traveller Fort Clasop, the reconstructed winter quarters of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the elegant Victorian mansion of Captain Flavel and excursions into the breathtaking surroundings including Mount St. Helens.
Founded by Russian fur traders as New Archangel in 1799, Sitka was the historic centre of Russia's Alaskan empire. The Russian flag was replaced by the Stars and Stripes when the United States purchased the Alaska territory in 1867. Today, picturesque Sitka is known for its fishing industry, an annual summer classical music festival and, of course, its many historic visitor attractions. On a clear day Sitka, the only city in southeast Alaska that actually fronts the Pacific Ocean, rivals Juneau for the sheer beauty of its surroundings.
Skagua, as it is known by the Tlingit, means" windy place." Skagway, a place of many names, and much history is the northern terminus of the Alaska Marine Highway. It was known to thousands of hopeful gold rushers as the gateway to the goldfields. Skagway retains the flavour of the gold rush era and the character of such colourful inhabitants as Soapy Smith "King of the Frontier Con Men"; especially on Broadway, with its false-front buildings, and in the Trail of '98 Museum, with its outstanding collection of gold fever memorabilia.
In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were prospecting for gold with the help of Indian guides. Here they discovered nuggets "as large as beans" at the mouth of the aptly named Gold Creek. Out of their discoveries came three of the largest gold digs in the world where more than $150 million in gold was mined. Juneau's surrounding beauty and natural wonders have attracted cruise ship travellers for over a century, with steamship companies bringing tourists here since the early 1880's.
Ketchikan, on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, grew up around salmon canneries and sawmills. Ketchikan's name supposedly comes from the native term "Katch Kanna", which roughly translates: "spread wings of a thundering eagle." At one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the "Salmon Capital of the World." An outstanding collection of totem poles make a visit to Ketchikan essential for anyone interested in Native art. Travellers flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North Country and are rarely disappointed.

What to Eat Before, During and After a Workout
Pre-Workout Fuel
For light to moderate workouts, it's not necessary to "carb load" or "fuel-up"– especially if your goal is weight loss.
A piece of fruit, like a banana, with a cup of coffee or tea is the perfect, pre-exercise fuel. Bananas are a portable, easy-to-digest source of the energy that's needed for quick bursts of speed and strength. They also provide potassium, an electrolyte that gets depleted as you sweat.
Coffee (or tea) delivers a hit of caffeine, which can help you push yourself harder and longer. It also decreases your perception of muscle pain so you can press on. Have your snack 30 minutes pre-workout to allow it to work its magic.
For more intense workouts or long runs, increase the carbs and add a source of protein and/or fat for slow-burning (and long-lasting!) energy, like a container of yogurt with a piece of fruit, a nutrition bar, or half of a peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread.
Fueling During a Workout
It goes without saying, but hydration is essential. Sip water during your workout to keep all systems running smoothly. Sports drinks are only appropriate for intense training (we're talking marathon status) when your body needs a steady stream of simple sugars for energy.
Post-Workout Fuel
After your sweat-session, relish in that blood-pumping euphoria and focus on recovery. Chug plenty of H20 to replenish lost fluids, and find some protein STAT.
Protein supplies the amino acids your body needs to repair muscle tissue, which endures stretching and microtears during a workout. Muscle tissue is in constant flux, which thankfully allows us to mold and shape it into chiseled abs and long, lean gams. (Oh hello, bikini season.) If a meal is around the corner, you're covered, but if not, aim to take in at least 8 grams of protein within an hour of finishing your exercise session. Need a few ideas? Try a yogurt, cup of low-fat milk (cow or soy—not almond), or a handful of nuts or seeds.
And, score bonus points by getting your hands on some tart cherries. Exciting research on these little suckers suggests that their all-star antioxidants called anthocyanins help calm inflammation and protect against soft tissue damage, easing that post-workout soreness (that you secretly kinda love). Your body will thank you.

When I started blogging one of my colleagues read the title as 'my lbs (s)loan journey' (read loan instead of Sloan) :-). I have been researching on the various financing options available in India for some time now and hence the delay in this post. I now realize that loan process is consuming a considerable amount of time and effort in my sloan journey.
I have consolidated inputs from multiples sources for this post. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow admits from India and students in class of 2013 who did a considerable amount of research on the loan options available in India. I am awaiting information from my fellow admits in other countries on the financing situation. I will keep updating this post as and when I get more information for other countries.
LBS had a tie-up with HSBC to offer loan for Sloan Masters Programme. However, this was discontinued after the 2008 financial crisis. As I mentioned in 'Comparison of Sloan Fellows Program' post, the key challenge for LBS Sloan students is to secure loans from banks in their respective countries.
How much do you need to budget for Sloan Program in London?
I arrived at the below figures after talking to current students and alumni. This is some basic data which any student will begin with.
Please refer to the survival guide put together by LBS Partners club for details on expenses, housing, local transport, medical facilities etc.
Single students:
Total Budget: 70K GBP (INR conversion @90Rs per GBP – 63 lakhs INR)
- 51k course fees
- 19k living expenses. Living expenses are around 1600 GBP per month (1200 for accommodation for 1 bed room apartment, approx 400 for other expenses).
Family Expenses: 80k GBP (INR conversion @90Rs per GBP – 72 lakhs INR
- 51k course fees
- 29k living expenses. Family expenses vary based on the size of family and the amount spent on rent.
Financing in India for LBS Sloan:
I will divide this section into four parts:
- List of Banks
- Challenges in securing loans from above banks
- Other options
- Path forward
1. List of Banks:
LBS provides a list of banks that students can talk to for loans in various countries, see the documents containing list of banks for various regions below.
Below are a few banks in India with whom we have interacted with in the last couple of months.
a) Credila: LBS financial aid department recommended 'Credila' as several students availed loan from credila in the past.
- Maximum loan offered: No upper limit (meaning you can get full funding for course fees if you have collateral to support)
- Rate of Interest: 13.5% (can negotiate a bit based on co-applicant's credit history)
- Repayment Tenure: 5 to 7 years.
- No moratorium: Simple Interest to be paid right from first month after disbursement
- Co-applicant accepted: Mother/Father/Spouse. Co-applicant should be earning atleast 15 lakhs INR per annum along with a good credit history to get a loan of 40 lakhs INR.
b) State Bank of India: SBI is the largest public sector bank of India with reasonable interest rates. However we need to provide lot more documentation and do multiple trips to bank as the customer service is not as good as Credila (which offers loans at door steps). Even though this is a lengthy process, this is the best option so far for Indian students.
- Maximum loan offered: 30 lakhs
- Rate of Interest: 12 to 12.5% (can negotiate a bit based on co-applicant's credit history)
- Repayment Tenure: 12 years
- Moratorium: 1.5 years (you have 6 months after course completion to start repayment)
- Co-applicant accepted: Mother/Father/Spouse/In-laws.
c) The Paras Education Foundation (TPEF) loan:
If you see the financing section, there is an institution called 'Paras Education Foundation' that provides loans to students from across the world if you have co-signor who is a US citizen or has green card. Their interest rates are competitive and provide loans for upto 65000 USD.
I had a detailed discussion with them. The bad news is they stopped providing loans for students in UK from last year. They asked me to check with them again in October which is too late I guess for class of 2014. I want to note that they were not very responsive based on whatever interactions I had with them.
2. Challenges with Credila/SBI:
Both banks require the co-applicant to be from immediate family as mentioned above. However, the average age of Sloan fellow is 38. This implies that most of the parents and in-laws of Sloan fellows are already retired without any income or a small pension income. Not all spouses work and meet the income requirements.
The harsh reality is these banks do not accept the co-applicant to be a friend or other relatives even if you have collateral that is double the value of loan.
3. Other Options:
There are a couple of other options which we are exploring right now.
- Loan against Agriculture Property: The interest rates are low on loan against agriculture land. Those who have agriculture properties can explore this option.
- Top-up on Home Loans: HDFC, SBI and a few other banks offer top-up loans for those with good credit history and already have an existing home loan. Note that you need to be residing in India when you apply for this loan. I am still trying to get more details on this.
4. Path Forward:
LBS currently has tie up with Prodigy Finance to offer loans to MBA/MiF students. We (admitted students for class of 2014) think that Sloan fellows deserve a loan and there is a strong business case to offer loans to Sloan fellows for the following reasons:
- Sloan fellows come with an average of 16 years of experience and are already earning good salaries and have collateral to offer
- Sloan fellows get into good roles with decent salaries post program which is evident from the past career reports. So repayment should not be an issue for Sloan students.
We have approached LBS financial aid department to help convince financial institutions that Sloan fellows deserve a loan. This in turn also helps school to attract the best talent from across the globe while the students can focus on other preparatory work if financing is taken care.
I hope this information helps prospective students to plan well in advance.I will keep updating this post as we gather more details.
Please check the loans section on official website for more details.

The film The Perks of Being a Wallflower was in and out of theaters around here in NJ pretty quick. Usually that's a sign of a film's quality — not this time. I think people really missed out on a gem — I know I did, but made up for it by seeing Perks this weekend. Here's the trailer:
Where to begin… first of all it's more than just a movie where Harry Potter's Hermione, Emma Watson, pulls off an American accent. It was well-acted by all, had a great soundtrack, and hit a number of serious emotional themes which should connect with late Xers like myself who were in high school during the early-to-mid 1990s:
Mixed tapes? Who didn't make one of those! Searching high and low for that completely life-altering song you heard in passing on the radio — hell, I still do that! Befriending that girl with the reputation not because she might be an easy score, but because she's easy to talk to and is kind of cool. Going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday night before flooding a diner (Ho-Bicks to my RI people). It was also fun to see all the high school drama associated with pre-Internet teen relationships. Plus, that "first kiss" scene might as well have been taken straight from one Saturday night I kind of remember back in November '93.
Perks hits all of this through the eyes of Charlie, a messed-up freshman with serious baggage who's just trying to find people to talk to. This movie speaks to the introvert in all of us, telling us that it's OK to be who we are with the people who really matter — those who care about us. It has its technical flaws and inconsistencies, but the story's emotional core and early '90s setting rekindled some high school memories. I loved the movie, but I figure the average movie-goer might give it a B/B+.

Any plans to widen the Exceat Bridge near Seaford to two-way traffic are 'way off'.
The A259 crosses the River Cuckmere at the bridge, which is due for repairs to its foundations and abutments.
At a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday (September 22), Rupert Clubb, director for communities, economy and transport, said that the route would need to remain open when any repairs took place.
He said: "There are opportunities to improve capacity but I would say it's a long way off. The key thing is for us is ensuring the Exceat Bridge stays up."
A budget of £500,000 for the maintenance works was set aside by the county council.
A petition was launched earlier this year for traffic lights on the bridge to improve traffic flow and has already gained 842 signatures.
Alan Simonds, of Links Close, Seaford, who set up the petition, argued that traffic lights would be the most cost-effective solution rather than widening the existing bridge or building a second.

April 2 was our Minnesota Heart on the Hill. We had 38 volunteers at the Capitol to meet with legislators. Our issues this year included asking for $6 million for Safe Routes to School infrastructure, AED registry, and comprehensive transportation funding that includes designated funding for active transportation. All told, volunteers had 58 individual meetings with legislators (that's over ¼ of the Legislature!). Plus volunteers had many more contacts with staff and personal notes left where legislators were unavailable. Packets were dropped at the offices of all 201 legislators including more than delivered more than 700 petition cards in support of the SRTS and AED bills.
We also held a walk as part of our Capitol Rotunda Rally to celebrate National Walking Day—we had over 60 participants including Sen. Senjem, Sen. Pappas, Sen. Kiffmeyer, Sen. Nelson, Rep. JoAnn Ward, Rep. Halverson, Sen. Franzen, Rep. Hortman, Rep. Clark Johnson, Rep. Bly, and delivering the keynote address was MnDOT Commissioner, Charlie Zelle.

St. Petersburg, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/10/2016 -- Lazy Shopper, the time-saving, ground-breaking couponing app has officially launched a Kickstarter campaign to garner widespread support and financial backing to complete development of the app and market it to a mass audience of shoppers.
Lazy Shopper is an app available on both the iOS and Android platforms, which makes it easy for shoppers to locate digital coupons and use on any item picked up in the grocery store. Lazy Shopper makes couponing simple. A user just needs to scan the barcode on the selected item and Lazy Shopper will search for a coupon for the item if there is one available by adding it to the "coupon cart" for checkout convenience. Lazy Shopper appears to be the simplest solution for consumers to save time and money every time they shop.
"Couponing is improving people's lives every day, saving them money that they can then use on long-term purchases, like saving a college fund, paying a mortgage, or fattening up their retirement funds." Said project creator Darlene Pellegrino. "We are proud of the work that we do, and we are happy that we can be of service to smart shoppers everywhere."
One of the distinguishing features included in the Lazy Shopper app is the 'Shopping List Function'. The app allows a user to create a shopping list database with items that they buy, automating a normally tedious task. In addition, with the Lazy Shopper App consumers can keep track of their savings by day, month or year with a simple tap of the App. Lazy Shopper will keep track of expiration dates for coupons and manage loyalty cards
"While our team has planned and designed this app extensively, we need, Kickstarter help in order to get it up and running…These funds will cover the costs of developing, launching, and marketing Lazy Shopper, bringing savings to tech-savvy shoppers all around the country," says Pellegrino.
Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects. Everything from films, games, and music to art, design, and technology. 'Backers' who support a project on Kickstarter get an inside look at the creative process, and help that project come to life. All 'Backers' of the Kickstarter campaign who pledge $100 or more will receive a digital download of the app.
The Kickstarter campaign is officially open until December 1, 2016. For more information about the Kickstarter campaign, visit: http://kck.st/2ffYcz6

To keep the cost of Soccer affordable for all, we rely on Parent Volunteer Coaches, Assistants and Helpers. If you would like to take this wonderful opportunity to participate with your child in a memorable experience, sign up to coach, assist or help out on your child's team. No experience is necessary! Just the will to have fun, be encouraging and have a whole lot of enthusiasm. We will support you all the way and help you become a good knowledgeable coach. House League is for learning not just for players but for coaches and officials too! It's all about the basics and developing a structured foundation for success.
Sometimes a coach is unable to fulfill their commitment to coach the team. This may be due to changes in their personal life or their work schedule. It is then up to the parents, of the players on the team, to step up and help out. Two or three parents, working together, results in a successful season for all of the kids and often a fun and rewarding experience for themselves. Teamwork is what we want to promote and instill in our children and it starts with all parents being helpful and supportive.
Remember, it is not necessary to have a strong soccer background to coach recreational house league teams. The best coaches are those who are encouraging, put the kids first and understand that the children sign up to participate and have fun.
Please Note: In the best interest of the League, BWSC executive reserves the right to transfer players to other teams after the start of the season and up until the third game of the season in order to balance teams and make fun and fair play for all. If this should happen, we would appreciate your cooperation.
It is important to remember that House League is recreational soccer and we are all here to have fun, teach good sportsmanship, soccer skills and team spirit. Losing is often a part of life and how we, as parents, choose to handle the experience will reflect on our children, so please, lets teach our children good life lessons.

The banks have been instructed by the Finance Ministry to make sure that in the next six months at least one person from every family has a savings bank account, all through the country.
After attending a meeting held for the same purpose, the Additional Secretary of the department of financial services, Mr. Sunil Soni said, "During the meeting between Finance Minister (Pranab Mukherjee) and heads of public sector banks on June 12 it was decided to ensure that there is a bank account in every family in the next six months".
According to the 2011 census, in India, just three out of five families have an account, which results to 40% of the families not being included in the banking system.
The government thinks that the banks are capable of achieving the target, following the success of the financial inclusion programme. In the financial inclusion programme, a targeted 73,000 villages with a population of over 2,000 people were brought under the banking system in a period of two years.
Bringing the entire population within the purview of banking system will be very helpful to the government. The government can, then do internet based electronic fund transfer of wages & salaries directly, which will reduce leakage from the system.

Canon EOS 6D review
By: Mike Topham, What Digital Camera (Dec 10, 2012)
Currently available for £1695, it's great to finally see a new full frame body in Canon's lineup that costs under £2000. For APS-C DSLR users considering the jump up to full frame, it still represents a serious outlay when you consider EF-S lenses can't be used with the 6D. Anyone with a selection of EF-S lenses are likely to find themselves selling them first to fund the coffers for Canon EF...

The Canon EOS 6D is an extremely capable and well-designed full-frame digital SLR that provides a clear upgrade choice for anyone looking to graduate from an APS-C model to a full-frame DSLR. It combines excellent image quality with superb high ISO noise performance, has an AF system that works in very low light levels and adds built-in GPS and Wi-Fi features in a tough, moisture and dust...
