Uganda, a tiny land locked country is Africa’s most complete bird watching destination supporting more than 1000 bird species which inspire various world birders to undertake birding safari tours to Uganda. Uganda which is the same size as Great Britain can be dubbed as the ‘birder’s Eden’.
Specialists in birding safaris and tours in Uganda in the western region routinely notch up an incredible tally of 400 species in a two weeks’ period while the starters can come up with 300 species with in the same time. Uganda ‘s prime attraction is the presence of more than 100 west African forest species and therefore a short trip here to soak up the bizarre and mind blowing shoebill is an incredibly rewarding.
Bird watching in Uganda is throughout the country but the most key sites that are always encountered by birders on Uganda safaris and tours include; the Semliki National Park which is Uganda’s extension of the Congo’s Ituri rainforest and special interest to ornithologists for some 40 Congolese bird species including forest birds and 80 central African species found in few countries. The bird species that can be encountered in this micro destination include; the Black dwarf, hornbill, blue king fisher, broad billed roller, black-rumped button quail, papyrus gonolek, African fish eagle, western-banded snake eagle, white-backed night heron, black bee-eater, shoebill pel’s fishing owl.
Spanning the equator is the vast varied landscapes of the Uganda safari tour destination of Queen Elizabeth National Park which boasts an impressive scenic crater field, vast savannah combretum, tropical forests, papyrus swamps and counts of wildlife and a diverse array of birds. The park features 610 species of birds which seems to be incredible and a record of 296 species can be made in a single day while on a safari tour in Uganda. The opportunities of spotting the Harlequin and Blue Quails, White winged Warbler, Small (Common) Buttonquail, Martial Eagle, African Crake, African Skimmer, Papyrus Gonolek, Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl, Amur Falcon, Ovampo Sparrowhawk, Greater and Lesser Flamingo, Lowland Akalat, Black Bee-eater, Terek Sandpiper, Caruthers’s Cisticola, Temminck’s Courser and Secretary Bird to mention but a few exist in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The community-run guided trial through Bigodi wetland near Kibale forests where chimpanzee trekking safari tours in Uganda are carried out also presents a great opportunity to watch the Blue Turaco and other colorful forest birds. Murchison falls for savannah such as the Red-throated Bee-eater, Abyssinian ground Hornbill and Denham’s Bustard. The Lake Bisinia in the east of Uganda is a rich habitat for bird species the endemic Fox’s weaver’s as well as Papyrus-dwellers.
The Uganda gorilla trekking safari tour destination of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is famously known as the number one birding spot in Africa and has got impressive bird species some of which are endemic to the park and the Albertine rift.

His Kingdom and His Righteousness | GetAlongWithGod.comGetAlongWithGod | A blog about discovering a God worth knowing.
All our supply, which sustains our life, is given by seeking HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness. Everything we need to live this life is supplied through this pursuit. ALL these things are ALL the things needed to maintain our lives. This is not everything I WANT but certainly everything I need! And for those of us who have occasionally seen God as a miserly withholder, our need is not just the minimal requirements to scrape by in life. Our Father is our abundant supplier, a Supplier beyond ALL that we can ask or think. For the man or woman who seeks Jesus’ kingdom and righteousness, everything needed to live a kingdom lifestyle will be provided.
In a world that seeks personal fulfillment and instant gratification, this is harder to do than it would seem. To seek HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness is the denial of SELF. This seeking is done by being His disciple. And to be a disciple, the Amplified Bible says we must: disown self, to forget, to lose sight of self and our own interests, to refuse and give up completely our self.
The “seeking” the book of Matthew is speaking of here is not my kingdom and my righteousness but HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness. Many attempt a righteous path. I’ve even sought to BE righteous myself through right acts, but this inevitably ends in failure. I’ve witnessed many building their own kingdoms, just as I’ve sought to build mine, hoping for the God-housekeeping seal of approval. Yet all my righteous deeds and acts of kingdom building have been farces and fairytales. To seek HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness is to seek His very own LIFE. Amazing! In His Life is true Life, and in my self-pursuit I can’t find life at all.
Worry can plague us, day in and day out. Our doubts can ride us, convincing us that we will not have what we need to live. And I believe this is not just material supply. It isn’t just clothing, shelter, and food, it’s the supply of everything needed for relationship with God – hunger for God, desire for holiness, and purity of thought. The promise of God in Matthew is that if we will but seek His kingdom and His righteousness, which is found in His Life, we will have everything for life and godliness. The key to this promise and all other promises is Christ, Himself.
AHHH, such encouragement and promises for seeking HIM….thank you and may the LORD continue HIS instruction and wisdom from above through your postings!!!!

The SeaCity Museum tells the story of Southampton’s maritime history, including that of the ill-fated Titanic that famously set sail from Southampton docks.
Through unique historic collections and displays the journeys of travellers coming too and leaving from Southampton ports are documented through the years.
The new Port Out exhibition has now opened at the SeaCity Museum and is a great way to discover more about the impressive ocean liners that have begun, and ended their journeys in Southampton.
The exhibition is well presented using actual furniture and memorabilia from ships such as the Mauretania, Queen Mary and QE2. There’s even letters written by crew and passengers that sailed on these great ships from as early as the 1890’s.
As well as plenty of information the exhibition also includes interactive elements, which include some trivia, puzzles and costumes including the captain’s or steward’s uniform. These elements are great fun for all ages!
The exhibition is a real in-site into the way the cruise industry has shaped Southampton, bringing employment, tourism and industry with it.
If you are from Southampton you cannot help but feel a sense of pride, and if you’re not from Southampton you cannot help but be fascinated by this great industry.

With the push to stop cell phone use while driving, and all the various photos and videos providing evidence of why some people should not be allowed behind the wheel, I thought I’d post something a bit lighthearted on the subject of driving.
At the charmingly named website “What the F*ck Zup Dot Com” resides an equally charming post (one year old today) with prime examples of bad driving results. In truth, some could be the result of bad luck, but most are not. So if you want to feel better about your own driving skills, or your children’s, or you’d like something to point at and say, “See, ma? I never did that…” then visit here. Oh, and don’t pay any attention to the headline, because apparently the WTF crew are just as skilled in counting as the drivers were in operating motor vehicles.
I particularly enjoyed numbers 3, 5, 12, 13, and 16 … and number 14 just because I find it pleasant to see a cop in the mud. 🙂 Happy driving.
Most larger municipalities combat graffiti on an almost daily basis. And yet it seems every night the scrawling artists sneak forth to once again tag a wall, leave a mosaic of rainbow-colored lines and slashes on anything that doesn’t move … and some things that do. I understand how this can be a problem.
But sometimes there’s an upside to it. Sometimes it makes you sit up and take notice. It’s no secret that some graffiti “vandals” are artists in their own right, whether or not their home city agrees with their method of display. These street artists might leave towering murals in their wakes, or a single image capable of stopping you in your tracks. But there is a smaller group of people who leave their marks less often, with less dramatic flourish, and yet can have just as great an effect. And though these people’s works are often overlooked for the showier street art, one site is full of their interesting bits: Pictures of Walls. With a collection that circles the world, the site introduces the more commonplace and yet more heartfelt graffiti that is often passed by.
These are not just “tags,” the nearly indecipherable monikers and symbols that some people feel compelled to leave as proof that they were ever there. Instead, these are statements, mostly, about love and work and the people who surround us, about media and interaction and how to make light of our sometimes bleak world. With some doodles thrown in for good measure. Sentiment ranges from anger and frustration to melancholy and confusion, with a good dose of comic relief for balance. It is a very interesting site. But be forewarned, vulgarity and profanity abound (as you might expect when it comes to graffiti). It is not for the faint-of-heart, those who are easily offended, or anyone who might be a sensitive audience.
And this site is definitely NOT FOR KIDS!!
So I was thinking today… What could I post that is unusual and interesting, unlikely and surprising? I wanted to share something amazing. So I thought of landscapes, children, poetry, art… And slugs.
Are they incredible or what? Still unconvinced?
This one almost reminds me of a leafy sea dragon. Very nice. Oh, and he’s about 6 inches long … not too shabby for slug lengths.
And since the print is tiny, these photos are all courtesy of photographer David Doubilet. They, and many others, are offered as free wallpapers from National Geographic and I highly encourage visiting the site for all kinds of amazement.

Washington, DC — Yesterday, a second accuser bravely came forward with disturbing allegations of sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Today, news reports suggest that there may be other allegations coming to light. The allegations made by Deborah Ramirez and Dr. Christine Blasey Ford raise serious questions not only about this nomination but about Judge Kavanaugh’s fitness to remain in his current lifetime appointment on the bench. These allegations must be thoroughly investigated in a fair and nonpartisan process.
The NWHN calls on the Senate Judiciary Committee to suspend its confirmation process and for the White House to withdraw Kavanaugh’s nomination. We must learn from history. If these allegations are swept aside and this nomination is allowed to move, women will remember.
A seat on the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment and has the potential impact women’s health for an entire generation. The Senate must do the right thing and stop minimizing the experiences of survivors for political gain.
The NWHN calls on survivors and allies to wear black today and walk out in solidarity with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and all survivors of sexual violence. Walkout is Monday, September 24 at 1pm ET. Share messages of support on social media with #BelieveSurvivors.
The National Women’s Health Network is supported by our members and by choice we do not accept financial support from drug companies or medical device manufacturers. We bring the voices, concerns and needs of women consumers to policy and regulatory tables.

The Serbian National Internet Domain Registry Foundation – RNIDS for short – manages the registry of the national internet domain names .RS and .SRB and the Internet infrastructure of special importance for the functioning of the Internet in Serbia, which ensures that the national internet domains operate smoothly.
Serbia has two national Internet domains of equal status: .RS and .СРБ, which denotes geographical affiliation and therefore is of exceptional importance in defining the Internet identity of all those who live and/or work in Serbia.
With the support of the relevant ministry of the Republic of Serbia, RNIDS was entrusted with the administration of the .RS and .СРБ domains, delegated to it by ICANN – the organisation tasked with managing the global structure of the Internet. RNIDS finances itself from the revenue collected from domain registration fees and the annual fees paid by the co-founders.
RNIDS manages five second-level domains in each of the two national top-level domains (.RS, .CO.RS, .ORG.RS, .EDU.RS and .IN.RS, and .СРБ, .ПР.СРБ, .ОРГ.СРБ, .ОБР.СРБ and .ОД.СРБ). Management of the second-level domains intended for academic institutions (.AC.RS and .АК.СРБ) has been delegated to the Academic Network of Serbia, while domains for use by government bodies (.GOV.RS and .УПР.СРБ) have been delegated to the Office for Information Technologies and e-Government, Government of the Republic of Serbia.
The body of the founders of RNIDS is the Conference of Co-founders, which is comprised of the authorised representatives of all co-founders and is open for new co-founders to join. The Conference of Co-founders elects a Board of Governors comprising seven members, and makes general enactments governing the operation of RNIDS, the registration of domain names and the resolution of domain name-related disputes. The Board of Governors manages the operation of RNIDS and appoints a director, who is the executive officer and manages the RNIDS Office.
As the national Internet domain registry, RNIDS is a member of CENTR and a member of ccNSO under the ICANN umbrella.
RNIDS’ corporate slogan is “The Home of Serbian Domains”.

Anyone who’s ever taken a creative writing course knows how beneficial choosing a random subject to write about can be. While “writing what you know” is the tried and true advice usually handed out to budding authors, sometimes shaking things up and picking a topic you might be unfamiliar with can help you hone your skills.
For Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten, however, picking a random topic isn’t just a fun exercise — it’s going to be the subject of his next nonfiction book. His upcoming work, One Day, will focus on the events of a single day in American History that was selected by combining numbers chosen out of a hat. Let’s hope a lot of interesting things happened on December 28, 1986, because that’s the date Weingarten has to work with.
Weingarten, best known for his long-form pieces for The Washington Post and books such as The Fiddler on the Subway, promises an in-depth look at one day in the life of the people of the United States as it happened, “but from high above, covering matters great and small – wide-angled, panoramic, with the added illuminating dimension of time.” The date, chosen at random by a waitress and two children at an oyster lunch (each drew a number from a hat: one for date, month and year), is the starting point for a book that will study “the universal power of humble truths,” says the author.
What do you think about this upcoming book? Do you think selecting a topic for a book at random is simply a way to garner publicity, or is it a fascinating experiment in and of itself? And what do you think will happen if there isn’t anything worth writing about that happened on that date? Let us know in the comments!

Intensive OutPatient treatment (IOP) helps people establish the foundations for lifelong sobriety. Designed for those who don’t need or who have already completed detox, IOP offers the structure of intensive treatment with the flexibility of outpatient care. Yellowstone Recovery’s low-cost drug and alcohol treatment in Orange County guides clients along the path to freedom, while allowing them to maintain their independence and support themselves.
Who Should Consider the Intensive Outpatient Program?
Intensive outpatient treatment works well for those who need more support and structure than traditional outpatient addiction treatment programs—people who suffer repeated relapses, experience strong cravings, or live in a high-risk environment make good candidates for the program, as do those who can’t enter an inpatient rehab facility because of financial or personal concerns. It’s also ideal for those who are transitioning from inpatient rehab to independent living.
Intensive outpatient treatment for substance abuse disorders requires a greater commitment than traditional outpatient rehab programs. Participants must attend at least four group therapy sessions per week and one individual therapy session every other week for a total of nine to ten hours per week. As far as living arrangements are concerned, clients can stay with family or enter a sober living facility—a safe, substance-free environment that keeps them away from temptations and enabling influences.
Outpatient means clients don’t have to live at a facility around the clock. Since the meetings take place in the evening, they can still hold a full-time job during the day. That allows clients to maintain their independence and to support themselves while they undergo comprehensive alcohol and drug treatment. Such flexibility, along with the absence of medically supervised detox, separates intensive outpatient treatment from inpatient programs.

Most insurance carriers consider addiction treatment to be a fundamental component of any health care plan. That being said, there’s a question of what kind of treatment an insurance provider will allow and how much they’ll cover. In order to determine that, most providers turn to the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), which has developed guidelines that establish who may receive what kind of care. The ASAM placement criteria identify four levels of treatment.
What Are the Three Levels of “Acceptable” Outpatient Treatment?
Level 1 – Outpatient Treatment: For those who enjoy a stable environment and who don’t need much external structure or support.
Level 2: Intensive Outpatient Treatment: For those who need an extra layer of structure and support, but who don’t need the full-time care offered by an inpatient facility.
Level 3: Inpatient Treatment:For those who need the support of a 24-hour living facility that isolates them from temptations and provides supervision around the clock.
Level 4: (NOT Outpatient) Medically Supervised Inpatient Treatment: For those who need advanced, 24-hour medical supervision to manage withdrawals and mental health services.
At Yellowstone Recovery, we offer personalized, evidence-based programming designed to help people from all walks of life conquer their addiction to alcohol or drugs. Our affordable intensive outpatient alcohol treatment and drug rehab program sets the stage for lifelong sobriety through a combination of group, individual, and family therapy.
Yellowstone Recovery’s IOP programs emphasize community-based care, of which group therapy forms a central part. Support groups give participants the opportunity to meet other people who struggle with similar problems. Under the supervision of a trained substance abuse counselor, they’re able to share their stories and support each other through the ordeal of recovery.
The moment people enter a group environment, they realize they’re not alone, that others face similar challenges. That, in itself, can offer therapeutic value. In some cases, clients are able to communicate thoughts or emotions that they had kept bottled up for years. Finally, the members of an addiction group can hold each other accountable, increasing the likelihood that their recovery will rest on stable ground.
Group therapy forms the core of any intensive outpatient program, but participants also have access to one-on-one counseling. As part of the program, clients must meet with their counselor once every other week to discuss their recovery. During the meeting, a trained counselor or therapist will help the client overcome the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that stand in the way of sobriety.
When addiction strikes, the family is the first to suffer. At Yellowstone Recovery, clients gather with their loved ones to sort through the issues that have torn them apart. The therapy sessions also equip family members to deal with challenges that will arise during the course of the recovery process, giving them the tools they need to offer continuing support even after the individual has completed their outpatient treatment.
More structure than traditional outpatient programs.
More support than outpatient care.
More time to explore issues and learn new skills.
Deeper immersion in the recovery process.
More flexibility than inpatient treatment programs.
The ability to maintain a normal work/life schedule.
What Methods Does Yellowstone Recovery Employ?
Yellowstone Recovery’s intensive outpatient alcohol treatment program uses the 12-step model of addiction recovery. A proven method for helping clients beat alcohol and drug abuse, the 12-step informs our approach to treatment and helps us deliver the best care to each of our clients. At the core of the program is the idea that people cannot overcome their addiction on their own. Willpower, while necessary, is not enough. Recovering addicts must also seek the help of a higher power, a sponsor, and other people.

STEVEN MAY, an Incompetent Person, etc., et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. NINE PLUS PROPERTIES, INC., Defendant and Respondent; CSAC EXCESS INSURANCE AUTHORITY, Intervener and Appellant.
Law Offices of Tony J. Tanke, Tony J. Tanke; Law Offices of Gary L. Simms, Gary L. Simms; The Drivon Law Firm, Laurence E. Drivon and Davey L. Turner; Tabak Law Firm and Stewart M. Tabak for Plaintiffs and Appellants.
Hancock Rothert & Bunshoft, Duanne Morris, Max H. Stern, William S. Berman and Kate Cutler; Thayer, Harvey, Gregerson, Hedberg & Jackson, Dale H. Thayer and Graham S. Lopez for Defendant and Respondent.
The essential facts are undisputed.
Don and Denise Lillegard own Nine Plus Properties, Inc. which, in turn, owns and operates a Maaco Auto Painting & Body Works franchise in Modesto (Maaco). Maaco has a shop where it repairs and paints cars and trucks, and an adjoining storage lot where it parks the vehicles when it is not working on them. There usually are about 40 vehicles in the lot, but may be as few as 20 or as many as 100. Many are left in the lot overnight.
Maaco's practice originally was to lock the vehicles and keep the keys on a board in the office. But during a fire in the lot in 1994, a fireman commented to Don Lillegard that "it would be nice to be able to move those cars." At that point, Maaco began leaving the vehicles unlocked, with the keys in the ignition.
The lot is surrounded by a chainlink fence topped by three strands of barbed wire and reinforced with weather-resistent strips in the links to make it more difficult to climb. An infrared motion detection system is installed just inside the fence line, and monitored during nonbusiness hours by a security company that notifies police if an intrusion occurs. There are video cameras trained on different parts of the lot, and warning signs posted on the outside of the fence. The shop also is alarmed, as are the doors leading from the shop to the storage area.
In the 10 months preceding the theft, the alarm systems in Maaco's shop and lot had transmitted a total of 13 intrusion calls to the security company. A Toyota had been stolen from the lot in September of 2001. And on July 12, 2002, just two weeks before Corralejo took the truck, someone had stolen a Mustang by crashing it though the locked gate. After that, Maaco started parking a forklift in front of the gate at night.
Soon after the theft of the Mustang, police officers suggested to the Lillegards that Maaco should stop leaving the keys in vehicles parked overnight in its storage lot. But Maaco continued the practice; the truck Corralejo stole was unlocked and had the keys in the ignition.
On June 25, 2003, Steve May through his wife Diana May as his guardian ad litem, and Diana May individually, filed the present action against Maaco for negligence. They later amended the complaint to add a claim for products liability against the manufacturer of Sergeant May's patrol car, the Ford Motor Company.
On March 16, 2004, the trial court granted the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC) leave to intervene in the action, and CSAC filed a complaint in intervention the same day. CSAC alleged it was responsible for paying workers' compensation benefits to Sergeant May on behalf of the City of Modesto to the extent those benefits exceeded one million dollars, as they had by then. On this basis, CSAC joined in the Mays's claim that Maaco was liable in negligence for their injuries.
The Mays then moved for reconsideration based on what they represented was new evidence of the similarities between the Mustang and GMC pickup thefts, and of Maaco's location in a high-crime area. The court denied the motion.
Judgment was entered on December 29, 2004. The Mays filed a timely notice of appeal.
The Supreme Court, in upholding the judgment, characterized the determinative issue as one of duty. "[I]t is necessary to consider the scope of the duty of the owner of an automobile to control his property for the protection of persons on the public streets." (Richards, supra, "43 Cal.2d at p. 63.) "[I]t has generally been held," the court observed, "that the owner of an automobile is under no duty to persons who may be injured by its use to keep it out of the hands of a third person in the absence of facts putting the owner on notice that the third person is incompetent to handle it." (Ibid.) It is not foreseeable, the court concluded, that a car thief will be an incompetent driver, or at least the thief is no more likely to be an incompetent driver than one to whom the owner knowingly entrusts the car.
"The problem is not answered by pointing out that there is a foreseeable risk of negligent driving on the part of thieves. There is a foreseeable risk of negligent driving whenever anyone drives himself or lends his car to another. That risk has not been considered so unreasonable, however, that an owner is negligent merely because he drives himself, or lends his car to another, in the absence of knowledge on his part of his own or the other's incompetence. [143 Cal.App.4th 1545] Moreover, by leaving the key in the car the owner does not assure that it will be driven, as he does when he lends it to another. At most he creates a risk that it will be stolen and driven. The risk that it will be negligently driven is thus materially less than in the case in which the owner entrusts his car to another for the very purpose of the latter's use.
The court then went on to consider, and reject, Richards' contention the existence of a duty in key-in-the-ignition cases is properly a question for the trier of fact.
A year later, in Richardson v. Ham (1955) 44 Cal.2d 772 (Richardson), the court found the sort of special circumstances to which it had alluded in Richards (e.g., a car left in front of a school with the keys in it, or left in the control of an intoxicated passenger). Richardson involved a bulldozer left overnight at a construction site at the top of a mesa, without an easily-installed lock that would have prevented it from being started. Some intoxicated young men started the bulldozer, which then caused considerable damage to the nearby property. The court distinguished this situation from the one in Richards in that both the type of foreseeable intervening conduct by a thief, and the risks created by such conduct, were appreciably greater.
"Automobiles do not arouse curiosity, and ordinarily the only appreciable risk that they will be set in motion if they are left unattended arises from the possibility of their being stolen. The record in the present case, on the other hand, shows that defendants' bulldozers aroused curiosity and attracted spectators, while they were in operation as well as while they were parked for the night. Moreover, curious persons had been known to climb on them, and it could reasonably be inferred that they were attractive to children when left unattended at the end of the working day. The evidence is therefore sufficient to justify the conclusion that there was a reasonably foreseeable risk that defendants' bulldozers might be tampered with when left unattended.
In Hergenrether v. East (1964) 61 Cal.2d 440 (Hergenrether), the Supreme Court explained the exception to the Richards rule as follows: "Special circumstances which impose a greater potentiality of foreseeable risk or more serious injury, or require a lesser burden of preventative action, may be deemed to impose an unreasonable risk on, and a legal duty to, third persons." (Id. at p. 444.) In Hergenrether, two construction workers parked their two-ton truck, full of equipment, in what was plainly a blighted area of town, unlocked and with the key inside. The truck was stolen, and subsequently involved in an accident that seriously injured the plaintiffs. The trial court granted judgment for the defendants notwithstanding the verdict. The Supreme Court, in reversing the judgment, identified several factors amounting to "special circumstances."
Similar circumstances led the Supreme Court to reach the same conclusion in Palma v. U.S. Industrial Fasteners, Inc. (1984) 36 Cal.3d 171 (Palma), which involved a large flatbed truck parked overnight in an unfenced lot in a high-crime area, with the door unlocked, the window open, and the keys inside. The operative test in key-in-the-ignition cases, the court explained, is the foreseeability of harm.
The last Supreme Court opinion to address the "special circumstances" exception was Ballard v. Uribe (1986) 41 Cal.3d 564 (Ballard). Like Richardson, Hergenrether, and Palma, Ballard involved a construction vehicle: an "aerial manlift" consisting of a basket mounted on a boom ladder attached to the bed of a truck. The lift was unsafe to use -- a stabilizing cable had been removed for repairs -- but it was left nonetheless in a construction yard with the keys in the ignition, the controls unlocked, and no warning signs. A worker at the site, unaware of its condition, attempted to use the lift and was injured. A jury returned a verdict for the worker, and the owner of the boom appealed, claiming, among other things, that the trial court had given an incorrect instruction regarding an owner's duty of care. The Supreme Court found the error was harmless, because, under Richardson and Hergenrether, the owner clearly owed a duty to potential users of the lift.
The plaintiff in Enders v. Apcoa, Inc. (1976) 55 Cal.App.3d 897 (Enders) was a police officer who was injured when a stolen car he was pursuing collided with his patrol car. The stolen car had been taken 24 hours earlier from a parking lot operated by Apcoa. As it did routinely, Apcoa had left the car in its lot with the doors unlocked and the [143 Cal.App.4th 1550] key in the ignition. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Apcoa in reliance on Richards.
The Enders court took exception to this statement, noting there was no evidence in Richards of a police pursuit. While the Enders court's premise was correct, i.e., there had been no police pursuit in Richards, the conclusion the court drew from it mistook the nature of the Richards foreseeability test, as we will discuss shortly.
Enders was followed by two more police-pursuit cases in which the courts held that evasive action by the thief was not a special circumstance exception to the Richards rule. In Hosking, supra, 98 Cal.App.3d 98, the manager of San Diego Marine drove his work truck to his mother-in-law's house at night and left it unattended in a nearby alley, with the lights on, the door open, the key in the ignition, and the engine running, while he went into her house for a few minutes. The truck was stolen, and it later collided with the plaintiff's car while the thief was attempting to flee the police. The plaintiff, in support of her claim the accident was reasonably foreseeable, offered evidence that the theft took place one block from a high school; that the type of truck was popular with juvenile auto thieves; that a vehicle is more likely to be stolen at night; that stolen vehicles are likely to be involved in a chase; and that the rate of accidents is higher for stolen vehicles than for others. The trial court found there were no special circumstances, and thus, no duty, and granted nonsuit for the defendants. (Hosking, supra, 98 Cal.App.3d at pp. 100-101.) The appellate court affirmed.
The second, post-Enders police-pursuit case was Avis, supra, 12 Cal.App.4th 221. Like Enders and Brooker, it involved a car stolen from a private parking lot: the Avis check-in area at the San Francisco Airport, an unfenced and poorly guarded lot where rental cars were regularly left unattended for as long as 45 minutes with the keys in them. Also like Enders, Avis had been warned about security problems, and other cars had been stolen from the check-in area. Seven days after the theft, the stolen car collided with the plaintiffs' car while being chased by police. The trial court denied Avis's motion for summary judgment; Avis petitioned the appellate court for a writ of mandate directing the lower court to grant the motion; and the appellate court issued the writ.
In reaching this conclusion, the Avis court criticized the Enders decision, which it said had "used questionable reasoning and stretched the 'special circumstances' doctrine too far." (Avis, supra, 12 Cal.App.4th at p. 230.) As to the conflict between Enders and Brooker, the court found Brooker to be the better reasoned decision.
"Examining Enders in the light shed by Ballard, we conclude that Enders, not Brooker, misinterpreted Richards. Although Richards did not involve a police chase, injuries to motorists in police chases (as a general kind of harm) were as much a foreseeable result from leaving a key in the ignition (a category of negligence) in Richards as they were in Enders. Yet, for policy reasons the Richards court found no duty. Even the possibility of injury during a police chase was not the 'special circumstance' which would create a duty to protect a motorist from negligent driving by a thief.
"By focusing on foreseeability, the Enders court bypassed the important policy questions involved in the duty analysis. Richards and the decisions following it have confirmed that, however foreseeable car theft and an accident by the thief may be, leaving an ordinary automobile unattended on the street with a key in the ignition does not create a duty to protect other motorists from the negligent driving of a thief.
"The Court concludes that while it may have been foreseeable by Maaco that another vehicle might be stolen from its enclosed lot in a manner similar to that in which the Mustang had been stolen[,] this was, at most, an increase in the risk of theft of another vehicle and was not equivalent to inviting or enticing an incompetent driver to operate a vehicle. As a matter of law, the Court concludes that Maaco's actions in leaving keys in the vehicles within its fenced enclosure does not create a duty to protect other motorists from the negligent driving of a person operating a vehicle that has been stolen from Maaco's premises."
The Mays begin their argument on appeal by asking us, in effect, to reassess the Supreme Court's duty analysis in Richards. They contend it was "highly foreseeable" a vehicle would be stolen from Maaco's lot and driven in a reckless manner; fn. 4 that the risk of serious injury to third persons in that event was great; and that the additional burden on Maaco to prevent thefts, by removing the keys from the cars, would have been minimal.
Finally, the Mays misapprehend the nature of the foreseeability test. The critical lesson to be derived from the Supreme Court's key-in-the-ignition decisions, they assert, is that "there is no broad or general rule of no duty" in such cases; instead the existence of a duty is a very fact-specific determination that will vary from case to case depending on the particular circumstances. "Essentially," the Mays conclude, "'special circumstances' are whatever circumstances that are deemed to make the [vehicle] owner's conduct unreasonable." The rule, they seem to be saying, is that there is no rule.
If this were true, duty would be a factual determination for the trier of fact to make in every instance. But, as the court explained in Ballard, it is not true.
"The question of 'duty' is decided by the court, not the jury. [Citations.] As this court has explained, 'duty' is not an immutable fact of nature '"but only an expression of the sum total of those considerations of policy which lead the law to say that the particular plaintiff is entitled to protection."' [Citations.] In California, the general rule is that all persons have a duty '"to use ordinary care to prevent others being injured as the result of their conduct....'" [Citations.] Rowland [v. Christian (1968) 69 Cal.2d 108] enumerates a number of considerations, however, that have been taken into account by courts in various contexts to determine whether a departure from the general rule is appropriate: 'the major [considerations] are the foreseeability of harm to the plaintiff, the degree of certainty that the plaintiff suffered injury, the closeness of the connection between the defendant's conduct and the injury suffered, [143 Cal.App.4th 1556] the moral blame attached to the defendant's conduct, the policy of preventing future harm, the extent of the burden to the defendant and consequences to the community of imposing a duty to exercise care with resulting liability for breach, and the availability, cost, and prevalence of insurance for the risk involved.' (Italics added [by the Ballard court].) [Citation.] The foreseeability of a particular kind of harm plays a very significant role in this calculus [citation], but a court's task--in determining 'duty'--is not to decide whether a particular plaintiff's injury was reasonably foreseeable in light of a particular defendant's conduct, but rather to evaluate more generally whether the category of negligent conduct at issue is sufficiently likely to result in the kind of harm experienced that liability may appropriately be imposed on the negligent party.
The Supreme Court in Richards weighed these various considerations and determined that, as a general rule, the owner or bailee of an ordinary passenger vehicle does not owe a duty to third persons to protect them against the actions of a thief. While the court has since recognized an exception to the rule when special circumstances exist, this case does not fit within that exception. We see no significant difference between the circumstances in this case and those in Avis, where the court concluded "Avis's conduct of parking its cars in a negligently attended lot with keys in the ignitions did not create a duty to control the conduct of a thief." (Avis, supra, 12 Cal.App.4th at p. 233.) If anything, Maaco went to greater lengths to discourage theft than had Avis, and the thief's conduct here was the more unpredictable and extreme.
The concluding words of the Avis court bear repeating here.
Vartabedian, Acting P.J., and Gomes, J., concurred.
?FN 1. Maaco also asserted, as an additional ground for its motion, the common law doctrine known as the "firefighter's rule." The rule, which applies as well to police officers, provides generally that "a member of the public whose conduct precipitates the intervention of a police officer [does not] owe a duty of care to the officer with respect to the original negligence that caused the officer's intervention." (Neighbarger v. Irwin Industries, Inc. (1994) 8 Cal.4th 532, 538; Calatayud v. State of California (1998) 18 Cal.4th 1057, 1061-1063.) For reasons that will appear, we need not address this theory.
?FN 5. The Mays also claim the subsequent adoption in California of the doctrine of comparative fault (see Li v. Yellow Cab Co. (1975) 13 Cal.3d 804) undermined the Richards decision insofar as Richards was founded on the belief it would be unfair to hold a vehicle owner liable for all the harm caused by a thief. That would be a determination for the Supreme Court to make, which, as we have said, has twice declined to reconsider its Richards decision.

Some good news and bad news. McFadden’s does not currently get the OLN channel, so they can not show the game tonight. As disappointed as I am not to see everyone and get pumped up for the playoffs, the Buffalo News said that they may rest some key players since the game has no effect on their playoff roles.
Now for the good news – McFadden’s WILL order the Center Ice package if need be, so we will be showing the all the Playoff games!! The response to my last email was very positive so I look forward to creating a great atmosphere on our March to the Stanley Cup.
The playoff picture will be finalized tonight and they TV schedules should be worked out tomorrow, so I’ll let everyone know they schedule later this week. Please email me if you have any questions.

The participation in physical activity (PA) can change during the life time. Parenthood has been found to be a life event that is associated with decreased PA, especially among women, but studies in the field are sparse. The aim of this study was to investigate performance in outdoor recreational PA, and factors influencing participation among parents and non-parents from a gender perspective. Methods This study included 432 individuals, 224 women and 208 men from Karlskrona municipality in the south eastern part of Sweden. Data collection was carried out during the years 2008-09. We measured the self-reported amount of outdoor recreational PA performed during the last year and analysed the dependency of the probability of performing this PA on 25 variables covering individual and socio-economic factors. Results A total of 76% of the women and 65% of the men had performed outdoor recreational PA during the last 12 months before one month prior to pregnancy. Men were affected by a greater number of factors than women. Performing PA indoors and dog or horse ownership emerged as the most important factors associated with the probability of performing outdoor recreational PA. Conclusions Those active in PA were active independent of indoor or outdoor activities, i.e. to be physical active seems to have a special connection to the personality and lifestyle. Becoming a parent is a life-changing event that affects participation in PA. By offering family-oriented PA choices that involve both parfents and children, midwives and health promoters can courage parents to be active and to support each other. The promotion of outdoor recreational PA, which also has restorative effects on well-being, needs to focus on activities which are attractive and affordable for the majority of both women and men.

This paper examines the financing of professional athletic venues and why certain franchises are able to obtain high percentages of overall stadium funding from the public. Existing literature shows the negligible effect of new athletic venues on the local economy and per capita income, and therefore the benefits from such a project are largely intangible. I use an ordinary least squares regression and show that the more successful a team is the less public funding they tend to receive. I also find that broad city statistics do not represent the specific areas that policy makers consider when making decisions about spending public money.

In this world of uncertainty, disrespect of others, fear for life, never knowing when or where terrorism will strike, we must pray for our children. Unfortunately, they have a front row seat to all that’s going on. Their young minds are trying to take it all in. They ponder, what will I do? How will I survive? Who will care for me when I leave home each day for school?
Here is what we as parents, grandparents, caregivers must do. Pray constantly for them, and for God’s protection over their sweet lives. Teach them to pray and pray with them. Deuteronomy 6:7-8 says to get the Word of God inside our children’s minds. “Talk to them when you sit at home, when you are on the road, when they lie down for bed and when they get up.” Let them see that you rely and depend on prayer to sustain every facet of your lives. Let our children know that God is bigger than any problem or concern they face.
School is just starting or will soon start in your community and we should all do a Jericho Walk around the schools in your neighborhood and pray for the safety and protection of all who enter through those doors. We pray that evil will not enter in and no harm will come to our children nor their teachers and administrators.
If your child is going to a new school—especially a new high school, as our children seem to fear that transition more than any other advancement—go with them to meet their teachers and administrators. Your presence helps to calm their “New Kid” fears. Volunteer when and where you can so you become a familiar face to the staff. Make planned and unplanned visits to your children’s schools to see what’s going on. Pray as you enter and as you walk the halls for God’s peace and protection.
Pray for our children to not be bullied or to be bullies. Pray each child will have kindness and consideration for others who may not look like them or have the same opportunities as them. Let’s talk more to our children at home to find out what they experience at school on a daily basis. Let them know you care. Find out who their friends are and strive to meet their friends' parents.
Dear Lord, our desire is for our children to have clear minds, freedom from stress and anxiety, unencumbered by the societal/world problems so they can focus on learning. I pray our beloved children will know how to pray for themselves, that they know they can call upon You at any time Jesus and receive far greater peace then they can ask or imagine. I pray for the assurance that You will dispatch Your angels to keep a hedge of protection around them. I know Lord that You have protected me and my family from dangers both seen and unseen too numerous times to share in this blog!
The song says, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, early in the morning our song will rise to thee.” Lord we rise up early to pray for our children and we give them back to You each day…we trust Your care and commitment to watch over them for You are a loving Father. So I charge You this day Heavenly Father, to make this year a year of passionate learning, productivity, progress and PEACE for our children. In Jesus' Holy and Righteous Name I pray, Amen!

An Anna Maria Island Florida Sunset in Autumn is Something Truly Spectacular!
Most of us, at one time or another, has been up north to see the “colors,” but none of us seems to think about Florida as a place to enjoy the beauty of fall, do we? Yet we’ve been on Anna Maria Island for the past 3 weeks and have enjoyed all of that the Gulf Coast has to offer this time of year!
The weather is absolutely fabulous, not often annually does this sub tropic climate feel so welcoming. It is a wonder that this is not the most popular time of year to visit Anna Maria Island; the water is still warm from the hot summer and the humidity starts to lift off the beaches, just perfect. We go to the beach and often talk about how it seems like we have this magnificent place almost all to ourselves (except for the pelicans and sandpipers). Then, we visit our favorite beach front restaurants, and no longer have to worry about when we go, for the crowds are gone waiting for tables (amazing, since the hospitality, the food, and the drinks are still outstanding!).
Finally, we go to the beach at sunset (something that is a bit of ritual among true islanders)! It’s time to see the magnificent colors of fall.
The scene catches our breath as the oranges, red-pinks, and golds blend together and change as each minute passes. Our turning leaves are the sun and sky every day. Again, we wonder at the gift of this special place. It is enjoyed by so many and yet often overlooked at this time of year. THINK AGAIN!

It's been ages since I've purchased new jeans (I have quite a collection that would make some proud), but I have been missing one great pair of comfortable jeans (not jeggings) that are ankle length and have tight ankles. Blank Denim are insanely soft, come in a gazillion different styles and washes and won't break the bank. The average pair will cost you $88 but especially now during the holidays there are great sales to be found. Piperlime has the Skinny Jean on sale for $65.99 (not to mention the entire site is 15% off on top of that!).
Booties and lace-up boots (like my Chloe ones pictured) are all the rage, but you have to be able to pair them with the right pants. Moms, these are them.
*Note, Blank Denim runs true to size.

I have a 2017 Columbus Compass. The light in the kitchen quit working after flickering for a few weeks. I check fuses, all good. I understand that they work in a series? So my question is how to tell which one is burned out.

I live in Jersey City in the heights. So I want to know if the heights is a good investment to make given the steep 300k-900k and more cost.
I want to know my financing options. I would go for an FHA loan but given my situation I really can't move away from my current residence. I want to also pay off my student loans so I can get another property signed to me. So what would be the best loan to start out with?
What type of house should I look for. Should it be 2,3, or 4 family houses or should I try to go for commercial rentals if they are in a good enough price?
How do I calculate expenses? For example, what percentage of the cash flow goes toward future repairs the like?
Once I get the nerve and make my first investment using loans how do I snowball that into owning more properties?
If I do this how soon will I be able to pay off my student loans?
I think I have a few more questions but this should serve as a start. Thank you for your time.
1. Re: Jersey City--my suggestion would be to (start) investing near where you know and/or live. Jersey City heights has gotten quite expensive in my opinion and, as a result, there may be fewer good deals, but you're surrounded by a lot of pretty attractive areas to start investing in: deeper into Jersey City, Union City, North Bergen, and basically the rest of Hudson County. Having said that, even in very expensive/pricey areas there still are good opportunities for investing (just that the barrier to entry is higher)... but you'd really have to be looking at a specific deal to be able to analyze it in the context of the market. I don't think there are any "good" or "bad" areas as a rule, just that it may be more or less challenging to find good deals in certain areas, and more or less difficult to purchase them.
2. If you're not planning to move into the house as your primary residence you're basically limited to conventional mortgages or to other creative financing options, like loans from friends/family or non-traditional funding sources. If you're planning to flip properties you may more easily have access to other types of funds (like hard money loans), but from the context of your question it seems like you're planning to buy and hold these properties. A mortgage broker or anyone at a bank could tell you what you might qualify for in the conventional mortgage sense given your income and debts.
3. This is entirely up to you. Obviously, 2 families properties will be cheaper on average than, say, 4 family properties in the same area, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are a better deal. At least in the Hudson County area, properties at the lower end of the market are very competitive, mostly because the barrier to entry is so low: as in, anyone who can afford even a small down payment (3.5% down, for example, for an FHA loan if they're moving in) can potentially purchase the house, and so can every other class of investor/fund/foreign buyer etc. if they're so interested. So for a 2 or 3 family home in the $300k range, you're competing with a ton of people who could potentially buy the house. More expensive properties eliminate people that don't have access to funding/FHA buyers, so the competition is likely less numerous, though likely more sophisticated in general.
On the flip side, depending on what sort of property you get, there is a lot of complexity in the entire process, including in renovating, renting out, and managing a property. I started out buying a 2 family that had been abandoned for several years, and just getting that up and "running" led me to learn a lot and I found it very challenging. I think it'd be harder, though not impossible by any stretch, to start with a, say, 4 family property. There are also rent control issues to consider with larger properties, but that's another story and depends a lot, at least in NJ, on the city you invest in. If you search rent control in New Jersey on BP (or in specific cities like Jersey City, Union City) you'll find a fair amount of information.
4. Again it's hard to calculate expense without knowing the specific property, but there are lots of resources on BP to guestimate this (search "50% rule" or "calculating rental expenses" for example). If you have a specific property you're considering in the northern NJ area, I'm sure I or others who invest here could give you a sense of what we'd expect.
5. Tons of options: broadly, you could use the money you generate with that property, and additional money you've saved up, to buy a second property. You might be able to (hopefully) encourage friends or family that see you've done well with your first property to invest with you and branch out from there. Additionally, once you've owned the property for some time, and/or if the property increases in value to do work you put in or the general market appreciating, you can take money out of your first property by refinancing your mortgage (as in, taking advantage of the equity you've built up or now have in your current property) to invest in additional properties. Again, there are tons of posts on BP on this if you search around.
6. Obviously depends on your student loans, haha. One thing to consider, though, is the interest rate of your loans: given that interest rates are generally so low (right now) it might be worthwhile to consider refinancing. If some or all of loans are or could be at very low interest rates (< 5%, for example), it might be less financially savvy to pay back those loans as fast as possible then, say, invest the extra money in other ways that might generate > 5% returns (stocks? real estate? etc.)... or it may not be, depending on your financial goals, on your current income or projected future income, and so on. Not really specific to real estate though but there are obviously tons of resources on this online. Having extra income generated from an investment property would certainly allow you to pay back loans faster, but you'd also have to consider the amount of money you'd need to save up to buy the property, fix it up, rent it out, and so on.
@John Errico Thank you for your reply.
Since I work as a substitute teacher I have been educating myself further in real estate. And as such I have more questions and as such I also have hopefully more ideas.
The reason I said Jersey City heights is because that is where I live. I am aware of the gentrification that has been happening and the like. I also like the preference of being near places I can walk to or even bike to so I picked the heights as the place to invest if at all possible. So far the places I have looked at ranged from 440K to 980K. So I was wondering if those are good prices to begin my investment. One place I have been considering is one where it has a convenience store which is still on a lease and is still running and an apartment on top which could use some sprucing up it is valued at 450K. I don't mind also moving out into the ghetto but I also have my experiences having worked there for a very brief period of time. So I want to know if that would be a good investment.
As for that thank you very much. I can only hope I need $0 from my pocket so I can start making a trickle of money.
Yeah for me ideally a 3-family home would be ideal although I thought rent control only applied to 4 family units or more. I also saw properties with a business and an apartment on top. So I am wondering if rent control is exclusive depending on the property or is it only applicable to 4 or more units?
Yeah I will make sure to allocate the cash flow into repairs and the like. But I want to know the recommended allocation so that way I can pay myself some much needed cash. Apparently the recommended amount is 50% of rent.
Yeah as much as I agree with you about investing more into properties, I would really like to get that monkey off my back since it isn't good debt like owning real estate would be. Plus it would enable my parents to sign off their property to me so that way they can collect more money through me, all the while collecting social security.
So in terms of buying a property, would buying a foreclosed property or a property going into foreclosure be better for me or not?
Also, when do I make an LLC? I would like to make it if I own two or more properties that way I can separate business and personal stuff but what would you recommend?
Whether its a good area to invest in or not depends on the numbers. Read "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller to get a step by step guide on analyzing properties.
Once you know the numbers, you'll you how much you will be cashflowing and how much of that you could put into your pocket.
@Rosston Smith I did look it up on Amazon and while reviews are generally great the one star review has me a tad on the skeptical side. It said that it is all about hyping you up to be a millionaire or so. I will download an ebook and see if that person is right or not. Also, I did buy the four BiggerPockets books and I read and notarized them. But thank you for the advice just the same.
The one star reviews always get you! One of the bigger pockets books had many negative reviews like that, but once I read it I actually received a lot of value! So I would definitely go by majority rule. If you listen to the BP podcasts there are a lot of good book recommendations on there.
@Rosston Smith Oh yeah no doubt. I saw some negative reviews for Biggerpockets but I knew it would give me a lot of value. Heck the Managing Rental Properties one is pretty helpful since it emphasizes treating ownership like a business. Also, any tips on how to approach buying my first multi-family property? I am even looking at a commercial property that is within walking distance from my place and I'm going to see an agent about it. So any tips for that? Otherwise, I will go buy that book and let's see how it all goes. Thank you for everything so far and it is great to see this community strive to help others.
That's great to hear! Definitely go by the book. Ask for a record of expenses for the past 12 months. Determine what type of maintenance it would need. See if it cash flows and by what margin.
@Rosston Smith What would be the ideal starting cash flow to investment and expanse ratio? And I will add those to my list of questions that I need to jot down. Also, is a commercial property good to start out with?
On your first property if you can get $100 cash flow (after expenses) per door, you're doing great!
The property doesn't really matter. Its all about the numbers. I could own a 4 unit that're more profitable than a 100 unit.
@Rosston Smith And that is after all the expenses are accounted for right? That includes mortgage, repair, and the bills.
Yes thats right! Cash flow is what you can put in your pocket after all expenses.
@Rosston Smith What software do you use to calculate your expenses? Also, what is your opinion on investing in a property which has a commercial business and an apartment unit as a first property? I mainly ask because at least in my area it looks promising since the rent from the commercial place alone can pay the mortgage. Otherwise, the thought of real estate is surging me with some excitement.
I only use excel spreadsheets to run my numbers. That sounds like a great investment! As long as the numbers work, and you know how to advertise commercial space, that could work out great. The tenant/business relations would have to work out depending on how the unit is set up.
@Rosston Smith Actually the beauty of this space is that there is already a business running. Plus it is within walking distance from my place. And I'll see about using excel spreadsheets to run numbers. Otherwise, thank you for everything and if there is more advice about this business let me know. I want to fund the down payment of this whole thing without any money out of pocket so I know I will need to be creative.
@Adiel Arvizu thanks for initiating this thread, loving following it!
- Buying multi unit (SFR or commercial) and living in one unit and rent out others is a great strategy. I've seen many people do it successfully.
- Keep in mind forming an LLC will knock you out from all conventional lenders, as they do not lend to LLC's. You'll have to get a commercial loan which carries higher rates and shorter terms. They'll still require a Personal Guarantee which means they'll still go through your personal financials.
- Any lender will ask where the downpayment is coming from.
- A quick start would be to talk to some banks to see what you may qualify for. That can point you in the right direction.
@Tom S. So if I do not form an LLC can I still get conventional loans for commercial real estate? Also, since you also know about this where would be the best place to get private loans from barring friends and family? I want to be able to get a long term loan for the 20% down payment. Also, when would be the best time to form an LLC? Thank you for answering and if you also have any tips please let me know.
@Adiel Arvizu personally, I'll never formed an LLC and just use a good $2M umbrella policy for my properties. There are many pros and cons of this, plenty to read about here on BP. My attorney said the LLC just creates a lot of unnecessary and expensive paperwork, and again, any conventional lenders (typically ones that resell the loans to the government) do not lend to LLC's.
You can still get a commercial loan in either your name or an LLC, but even with a commercial loan there will require a personal guarantee, so they will require your personal financials.
Regarding the private lenders question, I've never used it beyond friends and family (private money generally is friends and family). Remember lenders do not like the downpayment to be borrowed in any way. In fact on the mortgage application it will directly ask if any part of the down payment is borrowed.
@Tom S. Alright because my parents who are landlords formed an LLC and my mother claimed it was so when they get sued they won't lose the building or something like that. Also, would not forming an LLC affect the amount of taxes I can collect or could I collect the same amount of taxes. Could I also employ people formally when not under an LLC?
@Adiel Arvizu An umbrella insurance policy does the same thing, helps protect you if you get sued. I've had rental properties for over 15 years and probably 200 tenants, and I've never even been threatened to be sued. Run it as a good business, don't neglect the property, and I don't think you'll have any issues.
Again, there are a lot of opinions on BP about the umbrellas policy vs LLC subject. It's a personal choice.
Regarding the tax question, it's the same regardless of LLC versus holding property in your personal name.
@Tom S. Well I have no problem treating my first property as a business. I prepped all the forms and the like for almost every instance. But what about employment? Would employment be better under an LLC or would my personal name be enough?
Although, rent control makes things a problem since for the building I reside it is hard to make the necessary repairs because we don't have enough income flowing in. I mean two days ago I had to tarp the roof to fix a leak but the roof is in need of repairs.
Basically my overall plan is to own some nearby properties, make some cash flow, pay off student loans, and get my parents to sign off their property to me. After that I can collect some extra money from doing taxes and make the necessary repairs. My parents can still collect the rent and put it into their bank account. Once that is complete I expand and hopefully I can own and operate key properties in my area.
That is why I got into this. Also, for the first time in a long time my blood is boiling over owning something and doing the best I can. And it looks like if I continue this thread new people can come in there and learn. In any case, I will continue the questions I have since I would like to go into commercial since at first glance it looks like it will generate a nice amount of cash flow.
So in that case, for someone who is broke what are creative ways to finance that others haven't mentioned?

Seriously.......what a complete disappointment!!!! Rooms are awful and need serious updates.....and I am on the concierge floor. The lounge is awful. I arrived at 8pm.....it was a mess and absolutely nothing left to eat.
NEVER AGAIN.....the Renaissance across the street is fantastic. Won't be making this mistake again.
Good to know. I was planning on staying there in October prior to my cruise. Not now. Thanks.
Don't bother.....it is probably the worst Marriott property that I have stayed at in last 10 years. the concierge lounge does not even provide bottled water. there are really nice properties very close to here.....just not this one!
I second that. Very disappointing, very bad and not a great choice.
So you were staying in the Orlando area before a cruise, what type of cruise as you are pretty much land locked in the Orlando area?
It's out of Canaveral and I think we are arriving MCO around 2230hrs. It's only an hour ride but will be pretty tired travelling all day although it would be nice to have an ocean sunrise.
I was just funnin with ya and yes, just about an hour in either direction to the coast.
I just need to try and figure out the best way to get to/from MCO to the Pier. Any experience?
I can +1 the rennaissance. Stuff was still a bit older but it was an overall nice property, with a great staff.
Agree, but at least it is clean and fairly well appointed. this place is actually dirty and completely beat up. wall paper peeling in my room. even the person in the concierge lounge said it was the worst property she has worked at and was embarrassed!
Stayed at the Renaissance a couple of years ago and it was horrible as well. Lesson learned, don't fly out of MCO and expect a nice hotel close.
Don't hold your breath. Even the Hyatt in MCO is old and run down. That is usually where I stay pre-cruise as it is easier (no rental car, no bus transport, etc.), but it needs an update as well.
How do you usually get to/from MCO to Canaveral?
So sorry to hear of this candygal! I'd like to take a deeper look into this for you and have sent you a direct message for additional details.
Also, be careful of a couple of gestation nearest the airport if you have to fill-up a rental car prior to returning it. I was there last week and they were charging over $5 a gallon for gas at two of them. They don't advertise the price and its only posted on the pumps. I went to another gas station a few blocks away that had the gas prices posted on a sign and bough gas at $2 per gal..

Summer 2019 might feel like a long way off, but there's nothing like doing a little early holiday planning - particularly with some of the coldest, darkest months ahead of us. And if you've already got your travel wish list for the year ahead sorted, you're not the only one.
The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has revealed its trends for 2019 and according to the report, tour operator and travel agent bookings for summer next year are up 12% from this time last year.
As for the most popular destinations? Europe tops the list of places people hope to visit in the next 12 months, with 61% of holidaymakers planning a trip to the continent next year. The travel authority notes that Bulgaria and Greece are set to perform particularly well with an increase in bookings for summer 2019 up 30% and 6%, respectively.
Although Bulgaria has always been favoured for its historic landmarks, beautiful beaches and cheap prices, it's set to be in the spotlight in 2019, when the ancient city of Plovdiv will be the European Capital of Culture. Resorts including Sunny Beach, Golden Sands and the UNESCO world heritage town of Nessebar are known as the hot spots, with visitors favouring Borovets, Bansko and Pamporovo in the winter months for their good value ski holidays.

The Reebok I-run is perfect for home fitness. I brought it because it was reasonably priced and I wanted to start running - eventually getting up to long distance and "fun-run" levels - without looking like an unfit, gasping buffoon by starting off running outside.
The top speed is highly amicable but not perfect if your a super-sprinter, but for joggers and running training it's highly ideal. It folds away both horizontally and vertically, at first I found it to be quite heavy lifting when storing it vertically but compared to others it's exceptionally light, and your arms get used to it after a week or so. Comes with an "oiling kit" and a nice little guide, there are 6 programs but I normally just use free-run, adjusting the speed when needed. The calorie count is pretty accurate as is the mile count, the screen is bright and easy to understand and the whole treadmill has a stylish design that's suits a home, instead of the bulky commercial gym look.
However, as everything has it's downsides, the heart rate monitor can be out sometimes (it's averagely in sync, but doesn't recognise change quick enough) compared to a sepate HRM. The measurements can't be changed, such as KM instead of Miles, and with a white finish it gets dusty and dirty quick, so if you're a bit of a neat freak like me it needs a wipe and a dust at least once a week. the wheels don't spin so well so they wear down on one side and leave black marks on carpet, but this can easily be prevented if you loosen them before use.
Other than that, I definately reccomend this if your looking for a treadmill, it's sturdy (even at the higher speeds) and we've been using it collectively at least twice a day for the last 2 years and not a problem yet.

Tiempos seems to be the right fit for me every time. Shoe sizes are always right on whether it’s for firm ground or turf.
The shoes are great and the order was perfect.
FAST DELIVERY AND GREAT PRICE!
These turf shoes are great! Took a few times wearing to break them in but great feel on the ball.

Sophomore Hannah Hardenbergh recorded two top-15 finishes at the St. Lawrence Carnival for the Crimson (Gil Talbot).
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – The Harvard skiing team completed its opening weekend at the St. Lawrence Carnival in Lake Placid, New York, earning 10th amongst the 17-team field.
Sophomore Nina Armstrong led the women's team with a top-10 finish, earning seventh overall in the classic sprint with a time of 3:43.65. Sophomore Hannah Hardenbergh and senior Rachel Hampton also earned points for the Crimson in the event, racing to 13th and 42nd overall, respectively. Hardenbergh crossed in 3:44.65, while Hampton competed the sprint in 3:54.15.
Hardenbergh also impressed in the women's 5K FS, leading the Crimson with a 10th-place finish at 15:25.8. Hampton ticked in a time of 15:56.4 to take 21st and Armstrong grabbed 25th with a time of 15.59.1. Freshman Tegan Thorley was solid in her first action for Harvard, notching a 34th-place finish at 16:12.0.
On the men's side, junior Haakon Sigurslid turned in a time of 3:10.75 in the men's classic sprint to take home the No. 10 spot. Senior Devlin Shea and freshman William Rhatigan earned points for the Crimson as well, as Shea took 40th overall with a 3:12.57 and Rhatigan recorded a 3:15.41 for 55th.
In the men's 10K FS, junior Connor Green crossed the line in 31:32.4 to earn 56th. Rhatigan grabbed 66th at 31:53.3 and senior Ian Meyer collected 72nd with a final time of 32.17.9.
Harvard will return to action next weekend at the UNH Carnival in Jackson, New Hampshire Jan. 27-28.

I tried to do a little bit of carving last weekend, but the fates seemed to conspire against me. Either wood didn't split nicely, or else knots appeared where there hadn't been any before, or splits opened up in half carved spoons, and so I gave up.
One thing I did notice in the process, however, was that may tools were all blunt. Now, I've never gone whole hog on the sharpening thing - I know some people make a science of it, have umpteen grades of Japanese water stones and use a microscope to see the striations on the tool edge. I nearly choked the first time I looked at the price of water stones in Axminster, and whilst I know there is a proper way to do it, and that those people who invest in the right kit will get a much better, neater and safer result than me, well, it just isn't in my nature to do things properly.
I have found that with proper, careful use, other than the occasional accident (like a month or so ago when I chopped my Nic Westerman axe into my chopping block only to discover a hidden nail!!), tools rarely if ever need full scale sharpening or re-profiling, and so I use a small water stone that Julian picked up from a car boot and gave me - it's fairly fine - and then an EZE LAP diamond stone, and then finish off with a strop with Flexcut polishing compound.
My very minimalist sharpening kit.
This is not a perfect method - the stones are both small and take my fingers in a rapid circling motion too close to an increasingly sharp edge for comfort. It gives me a lovely sharp edge, but as it wears I get tiny striations on the blade which leave a striped effect on my work, but I don't mind too much. I really do enjoy a good sharpening session.
Then, with newly sharpened tools, I carved a couple of spoons - both in green birch, a joy to carve. One small eating spoon, heavily cranked and shallow bowled.
The other a long serving/spatula type affair.
Both need to dry for a few weeks now and then a spell in oil and I'll then carve some decoration on them.
Welcome back! It's good to see your work again.

GC America Inc. introduces brand new shades for GC Initial® LiSi Press LT. A revolutionary new pressable ceramic, it combines unparalleled strength and amazing aesthetics. GC Initial® LiSi Press is suitable for ultra-thin veneers as well as single tooth restorations and small bridges, in both the anterior and posterior and on implants.
Perfect for even your most demanding esthetic indirect restorations, GC Initial® LiSi Press is the first lithium disilicate ceramic ingot with High Density Micronization (HDM), a technology unique to GC that provides exceptional physical properties and aesthetics. HDM uses equally dispersed lithium disilicate micro-crystals to fill the entire glass matrix rather than using traditional larger size crystals that do not take full advantage of the matrix structure. The result is the ultimate combination of strength and aesthetics, making GC Initial® LiSi Press perfectly suitable for all types of restorations through all levels of transparency. Most importantly, HDM technology helps ensure the product remains extremely stable, without distortion or drop in value.
GC Initial® LiSi Press has vibrant and warm color tones with excellent florescence, similar to natural teeth, for very lifelike restorations under any light source. GC Initial® LiSi Press reverses the issues occasionally experienced with other lithium disilicate systems, such as color stability, surface imperfections, low-value results, and distortions. GC Initial® LiSi Press delivers a stunning, resilient final restoration.
Product will be available to ship in the US and Canada on or after February 25, 2019.

Drzewce-Kolonia is something like a lost place. There is a ruin of a factory, some old but nice wooden houses and an impressive railway station - without rails.
IC, TLK and Regio "trains" are stopping there in the form of a bus service.
Two tasks had been given: Maximum distance time and Fly on.
Twenty balloons could be seen over Piotrowice and Drzewce-Kolonia. However they had been very high and to get all on one photo, I have to use wideangle and they became little dots only.
Daria "meeting" a Dreamliner - eastbound. Joanna Biedermann ist a pilot on Boeing Dreamliners.
Daria Dudkiewicz-Golawska from Leszno was ranking 4th and 5th on both tasks. She became the best Polish pilot, ranking 6th after seven tasks. Beata Choma from Poznan is ranking 9th.

Just wanted to share my bottle tree with everyone. This was a gift from my parents a few years ago at Christmas. I love it so much. It makes me happy every day when I pull into the driveway.
It is made of welded rebar and collected bottles.
I like think of this as my yard art. I have heard/read that bottle trees started because it is said that evil spirts get caught inside the bottles so it is good luck to have one. I read a really good book that reflected on that theory..."On Folly Beach" I highly reccommend it for a summer read.
April, I LOVE this. I've been wanting a bottle tree for ages...yours turned out great!
I love bottle trees! I need one too.
oh yes, it's definitely yard art. i love how funky it is-what a great piece!
It's great, I get comments all the time from neighbors and visitors. All you need is a good welder and you can have one made, the guy that made mine did an excellant job.
Love bottle trees and every year I say I'm going to make one, but for some reason I never get it done. This may be the year. Yours is great and they always make me smile.Thanks for recommending "On Folly Beach".I'll be sure to look for that one.
I have never seen a bottle tree before . . . what a fun piece of art for your yard. It would cheer me, too.

We understand. There's so many options for quoting and proposal tools that it's hard to know which one is right for you. We're here to make that decision easier.
QuoteWerks has been developed and refined for over 25 years and is used by over 85,000 users worldwide.
Companies initially consider QuoteWerks based on our reputation, affordability, real-time/product content functionality, CRM/PSA integrations, QuickBooks integration, and our detailed and flexible output.
Customers continue to love us because of the accessibility of our staff, the high levels of customizations that they can create, the resources we provide them with, and the level of support they receive.
With over 85,000 Users in 101 countries QuoteWerks is the Market Leading sales quoting and proposal solution. What really sets QuoteWerks apart is it's turn key implementation, affordable pricing, legendary phone support, and most importantly the 55 integrations with CRM, Accounting, Distributors, FedEx/UPS, Leasing, Sales Tax, Microsoft Word, Dell, Cisco, HP, CDW, NewEgg, Provantage, Staples, and more. QuoteWerks is used by companies in almost every industry and by companies of all sizes.
Do the math, many apps express pricing as monthly but charge you for 12 months at a time. We mostly charge you an upfront price to purchase the software, rather than requiring you pay us forever to use our software. We also don't require commitments, some quoting tools require you to commit to a 2 or 3 year monthly contract.
Real, genuine, helpful people you can speak with on the phone. Customers love us because the accessibility of our staff.
Many quoting/proposal tools don't even list a phone number on their website to contact them for anything. When you're in the middle of your day and encounter some kind of problem, it is just unacceptable to have to send an email for support and just wait indefinitely for help that may never come. If you like to learn on your own, we have a detailed help file and over 144 videos.
QuoteWerks integrates with the leading CRM web apps. It also integrates with the leading Desktop based CRMs (like ACT!, Outlook, Outlook BCM, GoldMine, SalesLogix, and QuickBooks) which web apps cannot do.
If you already store your customers/contacts in something (usually a CRM), QuoteWerks can use that information. Web apps cannot integrate with ACT!, Outlook, Outlook BCM, GoldMine, SalesLogix, or QuickBooks (for contacts).
If this is something you need, there are only a handful of quoting tools that can do this.
If you need to integrate with the desktop version of QuickBooks, there are only a handful of quoting tools that can do this.
QuoteWerks creates a detailed and flexible output. Don't settle for cookie-cutter forms that offer no customization.
Many quoting/proposal tools functionality stops with the quote. QuoteWerks continues on and enables you to do the purchasing of the items you've quoted, and even track the receiving of the items.
A Ferrari and a VW Bug are both cars. They can both claim to be cars and they both have the basic elements required to be a car, however the robustness of their elements are wildly different. The same concept applies to quoting and proposal software. You can create basic quotes in Excel and QuickBooks, but they are very basic. Many quoting tools are basic and do little more than what Excel or QuickBooks already does. QuoteWerks is the market leader because it provides many advanced solutions in a turn-key package.
Both have their merits, and the best choice for you depends on your needs and priorities. Some features and integrations simply are not available in quoting/proposing tools that ONLY have a web based product. QuoteWerks has both a web based and desktop based product.
It really comes down to your needs, if you use a desktop based CRM or Accounting Solution, then a web based quoting app is not an option.
Still not sure if QuoteWerks is right for you? Visit our testimonials and reviews pages to see what others are saying about QuoteWerks or give us a call at 407-248-1481 ext. 2 to speak with one of our product specialists.
Find out how much time and money you can save with QuoteWerks today!
With a variety of quoting software packages found throughout the web, we understand that it can be difficult to analyze the differences between these quoting software packages in order to make the correct purchase based on your needs. We have provided this list of tips to help you find the right quoting software for you. This list of tips will give you a good basis for comparison of quoting software solutions.
Make sure that the software has a money back guarantee. Believe it or not, but some software manufacturers do not offer a money-back guarantee.
QuoteWerks does come with a 30-day money back guarantee.
In fact, it is relatively easy to do. However, as it became easier to write software, more less qualified software companies have appeared that write lower quality software products. It does not cost much for a one-person operation to write quoting software and then make it available for sale on their website. On the surface, all software products listed for sale on a website often appear to be equal.
When you look a little deeper, you will clearly see the differences. Is the application stable and well written, or does it crash constantly? The best way to find this out is to request a demo version of the software. It is easy to write software, however it takes knowledge and experience to write software that works well and that is stable.
Does the company have a network of businesses that can help you install the software and integrate it into your existing systems? More established companies usually have a "Reseller channel" of local companies that have experience with selling and installing the software.
Companies have different update policies Some companies release updates every couple of months, and some companies make no changes to their software for two years at a time. If you purchase from a company that releases updates every couple of months you will benefit from the new features constantly instead of having to wait for years.
QuoteWerks is both easy to use and very powerful. The trick to that combination is that we do not clutter the interface with a lot of buttons and menus most users may not need. Instead, when you need a more advanced feature, you will usually find it in a pop-up menu or other non-distracting area.. QuoteWerks is known to be very stable. Our customers tell us that we are very responsive to pre-sales and post-sales technical support inquires. We believe in providing our prospects and customers with an exceptional level of service, and therefore all of our knowledgeable staff can handle both sales and technical support inquires so you do not get the run around. We have a network of QuoteWerks solution partners world wide to assist customers with the installation and integration of QuoteWerks. QuoteWerks is our flagship and only product so it receives our complete attention to detail and commands all of our resources. We are very proactive in releasing updates to our software. We release updates every couple of months that contain many significant new features which are usually found only in full version releases every two years by other software manufacturers.
So, find out what type of support (phone support, email support, newsgroup support) is available and included, and how much support (in terms of minutes, days, months, years) included in the purchase of the software. If phone and email support is included, find out how quickly will you receive a response. Don't assume anything here. Often, it can be days before you receive a response. One way to gauge the response time is to call or email with pre-sales technical questions to see how responsive the company is. Rest assured that if the company responds quickly to your requests before you have even purchased, you will most likely continue to receive that level of support once you have purchased. Is the support staff knowledgeable? Receiving a response quickly is not very useful if it is not accurate or complete.
We offer phone technical support. You can easily pickup the phone and reach us. Our customers tell us that we are very responsive to pre-sales and post-sales technical support inquires. We believe in providing our prospects and customers with an exceptional level of service, and therefore all of our knowledgeable staff can handle both sales and technical support inquires so you do not get the run around.
Is the company a software company or consulting company?
If the software product that you are purchasing from them is not the source of their primary revenue, you can be sure that they will not be focusing all of their resources of the product. Not focusing all of their resources on their software product will by definition slow the development of new features and the responsiveness to product improvement requests.
Also, some companies release products that are not well document and that are confusing to setup specifically so that they can require that you pay hourly consulting rates to them to setup their product for you. It works for them, they gain extra revenue, but you pay the extra price for their lack of up front effort.
We are a software company. We focus on developing an intuitive, easy to use, well documented product that does not require paid consultant time just to install or use. We have a 790 page user manual, tons of tutorial videos, and you can reach us on the phone (included) for technical support, so you don't have to pay us to learn our software.
This avoids the time consuming hassles of obtaining, and then returning products, just to get a look at them. Most people evaluate demo software when they can find some time in their schedule to look at the software, so it is also important that the demo version does not expire, gives you at least gives you a couple of weeks to evaluate it before it expires, or the ability to easily extend the trial.
QuoteWerks offers a completely functional demo version that only limits the number of quotes and the size of the quotes that can be saved. If the demo expires, you can contact our sales team to extend your demo.
When you can't reach a company by phone, it makes it very easy for them to release a substandard product because once they have your money, they can just ignore your emails. It is much harder to do that over the phone.
You can reach our sales line by phone just as easily as you can reach our technical support team by phone.
Most commercial desktop software retails for around $249 per license. If you find desktop software for sale that costs much more like $400 or $800 per license, it usually means that the company bases it's business practices as more of a consulting company as opposed to a commercial software company, and they want/need the higher price because they are not selling as many units as a commercial software company is. Consulting companies by definition usually bill out all their employees by the hour (often $100 per hour or higher) and are used to charging high prices for their skilled labor. That is a good arrangement for them, but not for their software customers. Software that stores it's data in SQL server databases will generally be priced higher than $199 per license because the added complexity of SQL server costs the software manufacturer more to educate their technical support staff, and maintain the integration.
Also, is the software sold as a one time fee or as a monthly subscription? Can you cancel at any time or do you have to commit up front to pay 12 months at a time? Some companies require that you pay setup fees when you purchase their software. How does the company count the number of licenses of their software you are required to purchase? Do you have to buy a license for every machine the software is installed on? Do you have to buy a license for every user that will ever use the software? Even for a bookkeeper that might use the software once a month?
QuoteWerks is cost effectively priced starting at USD $199 for a single-user. It is a one time purchase, not a monthly subscription. Our licenses are sold per concurrent user, not per named user, so if you have someone that only occasionally uses QuoteWerks, you don't have to buy a license for them. You will be hard pressed to find a product that costs less, and that delivers so much.
Although the same feature is advertised in both software packages, the feature may require additional steps to use, or may not work the way you assumed it does in one or both of the packages. Sometimes the biggest difference between software packages is not the advertised features, but the way in which the advertised features actually work.
This can significantly increase the cost of the software, and it increases the amount of setup and maintenance time required. It is very rare for commercial grade software to be written in Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel.
Closely examine the advertised contact management integration features to make sure that they meet your needs. For some quoting software packages, the extent of their integration may only be to retrieve the contact name and address information from a contact record in the contact management software. While other quoting software will do more like writing back forecasted sales/sales opportunities, schedule follow up calls, etc in your contact management software.
Companies sell their products based on many different pricing methods. Some companies discount from list, others markup from cost, sell based on volume, customer price levels, etc. If your quoting tool does not support the pricing method your company uses, that would be a deal breaker.
QuoteWerks supports a very complete and comprehensive range of pricing methods.
Some quoting software has pre-defined quote templates that you cannot customize at all. Others allow you the limited ability to modify some of the aspects of the printed quote like changing your company logo. Some quoting software charges extra for a module that lets you customize the printed look of the quote. Some quoting software requires external software in order to modify these quote templates. Some quoting software allows you complete and comprehensive control over the look of the printed quote including the ability to create formulas that calculating things like monthly leasing figures, and more.
Since you will be using the quoting software to store all your product information, and all of your quoting and ordering information, you need to be able to retrieve useful reports using all this information.
Some quoting software does not include any ability to create or run management reports. The inclusion of reporting features is an indicator of a mature and complete quoting software package. Some quoting software has pre-defined quote templates that you cannot customize at all. Others allow you the limited ability to modify some of the aspects of the printed quote like changing your company logo.
Some quoting software charges extra for a reporting module that lets you run these reports. Some quoting software allows you complete and comprehensive control so that you can create reports to filter on whatever information you would like, and you can also customize the look of the report including the ability to create formulas that calculating things like monthly leasing figures, and more.
QuoteWerks has pre-defined report templates and a built-in visual layout designer (no extra charge) that allows you to modify them extensively, and to create new reports. The QuoteWerks report filter builder allows you to create reports that contain only the data that you want in the report. The layout designer supports the ability to create custom formulas.
Some send the quote in the body of the email as simple text so the formatting is not preserved resulting in the information floating around instead of aligning with columns, rows, etc all of which looks very unprofessional and unimpressive when received by your customer. Some quoting software e-mails quotes as a Rich Text Format (RTF) attachment. The RTF format preserves all the formatting of the quote, and when received can be viewed and printed by any word processor application.
Some quoting software e-mails quotes as an Adobe Acrobat PDF (PDF) attachment. The PDF format preserves all the formatting of the quote, and when received can be viewed and printed by the free Adobe Acrobat reader that can be downloaded from Adobe's website ( www.adobe.com ).
For the method of sending the e-mail, some quoting software has no built-in email functionality and relies on automating external e-mail software like Microsoft Outlook. Of course, if Outlook is not available, it cannot be automated, and you will not be able to use the quoting software's e-mail feature. Also, generally speaking, it takes around 20 seconds just to load Outlook if it is not already running which is undesirable. The upside to automating Outlook is that the e-mail will be sent using your existing email software, so there will only be one software packages sending your e-mails instead of two different software packages.
Some quoting software has their own built-in SMTP e-mail client. The upside is that a built-in quoting software e-mail client using the SMTP mail protocol is much faster and more reliable than automating an external e-mail system.
QuoteWerks has a built-in e-mail client that uses the SMTP mail protocol, and can also send e-mails using Microsoft Outlook, and e-mails quotes as either an RTF or PDF formatted attachment.
If your quoting software does not integrate with your accounting software, you will have to print out these orders, and then have the accounting department re-type the orders into the accounting software.
If your quoting/ordering software integrates with your accounting software, you can eliminate this unnecessary re-typing of information into the accounting software.
Some quoting software does not offer any accounting software integration, others offer integration with a variety of accounting software packages. Also, some quoting software packages offer generic order exporting in delimited text file or xml file format that some accounting software packages are capable of importing.
QuoteWerks offers optional links to QuickBooks and Peachtree accounting software. It also offers generic text file and xml file format exports.
You may also want to limit who can view, modify, or delete each users' quotes. If security features are important to you, make sure to find out if the quoting software has any security features, and find out exactly how those security features work. Some quoting software packages have no security features at all, some have limited security features, and some have a comprehensive suite of security features.
QuoteWerks has a comprehensive suite of security features allowing administrators to control which menu options are available to each user, which users can view/modify/delete each users' quotes, and a variety of misc. security rights. QuoteWerks also has a built-in approval process. This enables the administrator to require approval when certain thresholds are met (like margin for the document or even a certain item is below a specific amount) the quote will require approval before it can be sent to the customer.
While this is a logical requirement, if you can find a quoting software package that lets you link to an existing product database source instead of having to import a static copy you will benefit by not having to maintain product information in more than one place. While most quoting software packages will let you just enter product/service information "on-the-fly" in the quote in addition to selecting items from a product database, some quoting software packages require that all products that you quote must be in a product database. Some quoting software has specific links to vendors product databases that the vendors publish to the public.
QuoteWerks can link to any ODBC compliant data source for product information so you do not have to import the product information into QuoteWerks if you already store it somewhere else. QuoteWerks also has links to PC Industry Distributor databases such as D&H, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, and Tech Data. This link is useful in that you do not have to import data that is already in their databases, you can just use it.
It is very important to have access to real-time pricing and availability information so that you have all the tools you need to get product to your customer fast and as low priced as possible. Having access to real-time pricing gives you the ability to deliver last minute price savings to your customer. Having access to real-time availability gives you the company the ability to know if the product will ship today, or if it will be backordered. Since a backordered product cannot be shipped to a customer, knowing that a product is backordered before placing an order will give you the tools you need to make a good purchasing decision.
QuoteWerks has a Real-time Data Module that retrieves real-time pricing & availability from IT/AV Industry distributors Accutech Data, Arbitech, Bell Micro, BlueStar, D&H, Dexxxon Digital Storage, Digitek, Ingram Micro, Printer Essentials, Supercom, SYNNEX, Tech Data and more.
Your quoting software order will already contain all the product part numbers, quantities, pricing, and ship to location - yet when placing an order you would need to call your sales rep and read each part number, quantity, price, warehouse, and ship to location to him/her during which errors can be introduced.
QuoteWerks has the ability to submit electronic orders online to D&H, Ingram Micro, SYNNEX, and Tech Data.
Some quoting software packages have no ability to synchronize / import / export their quotes. Some quoting software packages can synchronize quotes in either an automated or manual process.
Some quoting software packages cannot be used in countries where the decimal separator is a comma. Some quoting software packages can automatically retrieve the currency and decimal separator information from the Microsoft Windows regional control panel. Other quoting software takes international support a step further by allowing you to quote in your base currency and an alternate currency at the same time. This is very useful for when you create sales quotes for customers in other countries and you want to present the quote to the international customer in their own currency. Canadians have different sales tax requirements than Americans, including GST, PST, and HST. Some quoting software supports the Canadian sales tax requirements, and others do not.
QuoteWerks allows you to quote in both your base currency and an alternate currency at the same time. Canadian sales tax is supported.
For example, if you select a 17 tire rim, the next step in the Configurator would only show you 15 tires that would fit on the 17 rim that you selected. Configurators are extremely useful for making sure that all the correct items are included in a quote, and they make your sales force highly efficient. Some quoting software packages contain Configurators and some do not.
QuoteWerks has a built-in Configurator as described above.
The more comprehensive quoting software packages will also support the ability to add subtotal, running subtotal, % discount, % charge, and comment type of line items to the quote. If you are used to using these types of line items in your quoting, it will be difficult to do without them.
QuoteWerks has a comprehensive list of line item types as described above.
The advantage to storing data in industry standard database formats is that it allows you to externally access the data that is in these databases. This is useful for creating applications that can enhance the quoting software's functionality by reading and writing to the quoting software's database directly. This is also useful if you need to create reports using external reporting software like Seagate Software's Crystal Reports. Additionally, since you can view and modify the data from external applications, it makes it possible for you to export or extract your data in the event that you no longer need the quoting software and want to get your data out, or maybe you want to copy the data that is in the quoting software into some other software package. The problem with storing data in proprietary formats is that no-one else can read or modify that data - including you, the owner of the data. You lose data flexibility and data longevity when you select a product that stores their data this way because your data is held hostage inside of their proprietary format that you cannot get to or export when you no longer need the quoting software. As a patch, some quoting software packages that store their data in a proprietary format offer a utility that collects all the information in this proprietary format and then saves it to an industry standard database format that you can then view or export. This is a less than perfect patch because it means that your data in this database will never be real-time. You will always have to run the utility to have it update the industry standard database with the proprietary database information (your quotes).
QuoteWerks data is stored in industry standard Microsoft Access 2002/2003 databases in the Standard and Professional Editions or a Microsoft SQL 2008/2005/2000/7 databases in the Corporate Edition.
Sometimes the favorable review is so old that the publication that published the review no longer exists. In other cases, the review might have been published years ago when competing software did not exist, and therefore the reviews can be misleading.

The Linq - David M. Schwarz Architects, Inc.
Located across the Strip from Caesars Palace, David M. Schwarz Architects has designed a new street of retail, dining and entertainment venues anchored by a 550’ diameter observation wheel. The street is composed mostly of warehouse/industrial-style buildings that appear to have been adaptively re-used, recalling neighborhoods like New York City’s Meatpacking District or Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. The street’s mythology reaches back to Las Vegas’s founding days as a train-stop town, a time when two and three story industrial buildings were built and then eventually forgotten as casinos and resorts sprouted up in the surrounding land. In this case, Flamingo, to the south and The Quad (Formerly the Imperial Palace), to the north, hem in the street whose former uses eventually gave way to shops, restaurants and entertainment venues which adaptively modified the existing fabric. With loose signage restrictions, the “new” users are encouraged to aggressively “repurpose” the old warehouse buildings, adding a layer of authenticity associated with urban shopping districts.

MITZPE RAMON, ISRAEL–Wooster Geologists Oscar Mmari’s Independent Study project on the Late Cretaceous phosphorites in the Negev has become multidimensional. His most interesting section is in Wadi Hawarim, where we returned today with Yoav Avni for additional observations and measurements. We are now doing a bit of structural geology that Dr. Shelley Judge would appreciate. In this view above, the dark resistant unit on the left is the lower silicified portion of the Mishash Formation (Upper Cretaceous). Even though it looks like an igneous intrusion, these are sedimentary beds folded so that they are vertical in attitude. On the right you may be able to make out Oscar standing on Mishash beds that are almost horizontal. How does this make sense?
What happened was faulting on the farthest left in this view above. A normal fault perpendicular to this screen has its upthrown block on the left and downthrown block on the right (where Oscar is standing). The Mishash silicified rocks are part of a drag fold as the blocks moved against each other. It appears that this faulting took place while the rest of the Mishash was still accumulating because debris from the silicified layers was spread over the phosphorites as they developed. There may also have been a shallowing of sealevel indicated by a layer colonized by shrimp who made Thalassinoides burrow systems that became inundated with siliciclastic sediment likely derived from the fault scarp.
In this view into Wadi Havarim, the whitish phosphorite beds of the Mishash Formation are in the center above a dark conglomerate and below the yellowish Ghareb Formation.
Oscar is sitting on Mishash conglomerate taking careful notes on this complex geological scenario. He’s going to need his skills in structural geology, sedimentology, stratigraphy and paleontology for this project!

Earl Torgeson (played by Paul Chaplin) is a butcher from Sanford, Maine who specializes in hand-made Old World sausages. He is the estranged half-brother of Eunice Torgeson, who is the great friend of the late Gladys Fletcher, who is the great aunt of Survivor drummer Kyle Woodring, which performed the rock anthem "Eye of the Tiger" that served as the theme for Rocky III (though Woodring wasn't yet a member at the time it was first recorded), the sequel of which Crow regards as having delved deepest in U.S./Soviet relations during the Cold War, thus somehow making him qualified to expound on the Russian folklore present in the movie Jack Frost. His dissertation consisted of taking a phone order from a customer. Mike and Tom were not amused and violently expressed their dissatisfaction with Crow.

But Prime Minister Theresa May has sounded a more anxious note ever since she entered office in July 2016. She has repeatedly – and a little mechanically – invoked the importance to her own politics of ‘our precious union’, a mantra that betrays a telling worry about the implications of a vote which accentuates a growing sense of political differences across the different nations and peoples contained with it, and also signals the salience in her own mind of the question of what implementing Brexit means for the domestic union.
And, gradually, the tortuous process of seeking parliamentary support for the Withdrawal Agreement she negotiated with the EU has indeed thrown up the possibility that leaving the external union which the UK joined several decades ago might make impossible the holding together of the much older set of unions forged – through conquest and negotiation – by the English state over several centuries.
In part, this is because the devolution settlement that has developed since 1999 has the EU baked into it, and so leaving is bound to raise difficult legal and political questions which may well deepen territorially rooted tensions (not least between Scotland and the UK). There has already been a sharp, extended conflict over who exactly should take back control of powers returning from Brussels in areas of devolved competency. This resulted in the Scottish parliament’s refusal in 2018 to support the EU Withdrawal Bill, and the UK parliament’s decision to pass it irrespectively, in breach of the previously sacred Sewel convention. The subsequent decision of the Scottish government to publish a Continuity Bill resulted in the UK challenging its legality in the Supreme Court, a harbinger perhaps of disputes that lie ahead as we proceed to the next stage of negotiations with the EU.
But a separate, increasingly important dynamic has also brought the incompatibility of these different union-related political commitments to the fore. This concerns the increasingly central role which Northern Ireland has assumed in the negotiations over the Withdrawal Agreement, and the resonant echoes of the political instability caused by the Irish question in the late nineteenth century.
In the context of Brexit, Northern Ireland has acquired huge importance both because it is the geographical area closest to the UK’s land border with the EU, and due to its deep economic and political interconnections with the Irish Republic. The North became central first in the context of the much debated backstop arrangements that were included within the Withdrawal Agreement, and latterly as attention to the possible consequences of a ‘no deal’ Brexit for the border and the Good Friday Agreement have come into view. In political terms, the DUP’s role as the government’s confidence-and-supply partner in the House of Commons has been elevated significantly during the crisis over the passage of the Agreement by the decision of a large number of Conservative MPs to present their opposition as conditional upon the views of its ten political representatives at Westminster.
This stance has fallen apart with telling speed, and a very different dynamic has emerged around these issues in recent days. Increasingly, the priority that the DUP and some unionists in the Conservative party accord to the domestic union has come up against the assumption of many others that Brexit is the political and moral priority which needs to be pursued. No longer is the DUP presented as the conscience of the Conservative party on the Irish question. Tensions are opening up between Arlene Foster’s party in parliament and the Conservatives, a situation that may well have significant consequences for the prospect of effective government in the coming months.
This shift is demonstrated in the developing thinking of the Prime Minister herself. At the point when there was genuine uncertainty about whether she would keep ‘no deal’ as a serious option for the government, she reportedly announced at the extended Cabinet meeting on 2nd April that she could not countenance it because of the likelihood that it would lead to a return to direct rule in Northern Ireland. At the same time, the DUP’s leadership, to the bemusement of some members of the Tory European Research Group, indicated their own belief that the doctrinaire pursuit of Brexit favoured by some parts of the Tory party, including some of the potential candidates to succeed Theresa May, might well result in the selling-out of Northern Ireland if, for instance, the government returned to the idea of a backstop that applied there, and not to the UK as a whole.
The sundering of the politics of Tory unionism from the pursuit of Brexit, and the re-emergence of an ancestral unionist outlook in the Conservative party, are key developments in the contemporary political landscape, but they appear to have caught many UK politicians and most commentators off guard.
The determined adherence of the Prime Minister and other leading Conservatives to the priority of keeping the domestic union together, and the commitment to treating Northern Ireland as an integral part of the UK, run counter to what most commentary has taken to be the direction of travel in the party’s territorial outlook – in favour of the approach to Northern Ireland which informed the peace process initiated by John Major and the Good Friday Agreement negotiated by Tony Blair. In fact, it appears that significant parts of the Tory party were never fully reconciled to the latter approach, and have moved back towards an older model of thinking about the union which has its origins in the English constitutional tradition propounded by figures like Enoch Powell and some other Thatcherite conservatives.
This way of looking at the UK stresses the indivisible sovereignty of parliamentary government, and depicts this differentiated polity as united under the exercise of legitimate governance at the centre, a vision that points away from the narrowly English-nationalist agenda which many critics accuse the Conservatives of pursuing. But, at the same time, the priority this tradition gives to the integrity of the union in its account of British sovereignty may well have generated a major obstacle to the delivery of Brexit, and has certainly been a key factor in ruling ‘no deal’ out of consideration. Such an outcome will be welcomed by most parliamentarians and many citizens, but it does raise the spectre of a growing number of frustrated Brexiteers becoming frustrated at the implications of the union and Northern Ireland’s place within it.
More broadly still, as I argue here, deepening disagreement in Conservative ranks about which goal is more important – preservation at all costs of the multi-national union or delivering Brexit, even if that goal creates conditions that endanger the former – needs to be understood in the context of a much longer historical process. Specifically, it is the demise of an older model of informal and pragmatic statecraft which enjoyed considerable support across the two main British parties for much of the last century that has made constitutional issues the subject of greater political contestation, both at the centre of the UK and in its constituent parts.
Brexit has not, as is commonly suggested, brought instability into an otherwise stable constitutional environment. It has instead supplied an additional boost to the increasing politicisation of questions relating to the UK’s territorial constitution.

Improve chart aesthetics by removing redundant grids.
Once again, we find ourselves with an unneeded grid: the horizontal axis grid. It isn't adding anything to the plot; it's just cluttering it up. Let's cut the clutter.
Remove the horizontal axis grid, as shown above.

Since April, 19, Wafangdian State and Local Tax Bureaus have fully promoted “one service hall”to realize joint taxing service. The taxpayer could handle state and local integrated tax affairs simultaneously in this taxing service hall.
On the same day, Hu Renping, director of Wafangdian Local Tax Bureau, together with Tang Shishu, deputy director of Wafangdian Local Tax Bureau taking charge of tax paying service work, came to Gongji Tax Office to study the situation. When asked about the canceled procedure, service attitude of window working personnel and suggestions of service handling, Mr. Zang expressed that everything is convenient and the working personnel are all friendly. As for the procedures of examination and approval, one phone call can be directly solved in high efficiency. As a taxpayer, I am quite satisfied.

How much wine can one person buy? As much as I can store. I look for wines which I have tried at restaurants, or ones I read about on different wine sites, wine columns in newspapers and magazines. Then I check to see who may have them and when they may offer free shipping. Sometimes the price offered is so good that I will pay for shipping.
Where to price wine: I start out by going on winesearcher.com to see who sells a particular wine and check out the costs. Information is free unless you want to see an even longer list of merchants. There is a fee for this "professional" service.
Then I order. The best thing to do is to register on various wine sites so that you will get emails about all their offerings especially the sales and free shipping offers.
mtkiscowines.com, vinfolio.com. The physical location of the wine site is important to me because the further away, the longer the shipping time, the worse for the wine, maybe. All this is based on using ground shipping, not any kind of expedited time frame. I don't want to spend a great deal to get the wine. Some sites will tell you that due to warm weather, they may not ship until a certain time. Most importantly, you may need to be home to sign for the delivery.
Winery Sites: you may be able put your name on the mailing lists of the wineries you like so that you can get first choice of the wine produced each year. Many wineries have waiting lists since they can only allocate a certain amount due to the fact that they do not produce more than a couple of hundred cases a year.
Enjoy your wine and remember to drink responsibly!

If you’ve seen this post before, you’ll probably recognise that this long-winded unpolished article has changed quite a bit. Of course, I’ll only leave you with the best content! Any unpolished gems must be dealt with.
No need to bother with explaning why Firebase is so awesome. You already know that. That’s why you’re here. We’ll make this a quick and very straightforward one.
There are 2 methods by which you can add Firebase to your app. Using the Firebase Assistant, or manually.
This is much quicker. Firebase Assistant is a tool in Android Studio that makes it so quick to connect Firebase to your app and add its dependencies for all its services.
Click Connect to Firebase and choose to either create a new Firebase project or connect to an existing one.
Click the button below the previous one to add the dependencies to your build.gradle files.
And voila. Now you have Firebase connected to your app in 4 quick steps! Plus the Firebase Core dependency which includes Analytics for your app which you can see on the Firebase Console.
Maybe you don’t have Android Studio. Maybe you don’t want to use Firebase Assistant for… some other reason. I don’t know what that would be.
Create a new Firebase project in the Firebase Console.
Following the Android quickstart guide presented, register your app by adding its package name.
Download the google-services.json file given and add it to your app’s root directory.
Add the dependencies shown to the corresponding build.gradle files.
Everything else along the way is pretty self-explanatory. It makes it easy to remember when you break it down into 4 simple steps.
A common problem, this is. All you have to do is go to File > Settings/Preferences > Plugins and enable all the Firebase plugins.
So I definitely got this article shortened quite a bit. No pictures, no long-winded unnecessary explanations, just straight to the steps. I hope this works best for you guys. Tell me what you think!

Texas-based floating LNG solutions provider Excelerate Energy completed the commissioning of the Moheshkhali floating LNG terminal marking the official commencement of operations for the project.
Bangladesh’s first liquefied natural gas import facility is located offshore Moheshkhali Island in the Bay of Bengal and has been commissioned 25 months after the execution of project agreements, which took place in July 2016, with the state-owned Bangladesh Oil, Gas & Mineral Corporation (Petrobangla).
The terminal has begun delivering natural gas to the Chittagong region of Bangladesh, marking the first time the country has received natural gas from the global market, Excelerate said in its statement.
The new terminal enables Petrobangla to procure LNG from international natural gas markets and is expected to increase natural supply to the country by twenty percent.
Excelerate has deployed its floating storage and regasification unit, the Excellence, has 138,000 cubic meters of LNG storage capacity and a base regasification capacity of 500 million standard cubic feet per day.
The LNG cargo used to commission the terminal was supplied by Qatargas.

Bangladesh's state-owned Petrobangla firmed up its agreement with Qatar's RasGas on Monday.

You is a book with a difference, or at least it felt different to me, reading about it and then reading it (after a very long wait for it to come free at the library). It’s told from the point of view of Joe, the Stalker and it’s quite unapologetic about it. There is no attempt to make his actions seem more reasonable – no calling back to a difficult childhood to explain his actions, which include murder. He is, quite simply, a psychopath – obsessively following and inserting himself into the life of a young woman because he is convinced she is the one for him.
Told from his perspective, she probably is. She is perfect. Beautiful, clever, engaging. Every negative behaviour of hers (she has a lot of boyfriends, always leaves her studies to the last minute, calls on people then drops them like hot potatoes) Joe can see and find cute, or something he could fix if only he was her boyfriend. To do that, of course, he has to turn himself into her perfect man. Finding out what that is isn’t as hard as you might think in this internet age, with Facebook and Twitter and smart phones that hold our lives and can be very useful to people like Joe if you “lose” them whilst sharing a cab. Not that I share a lot online but it’s amazing how quickly he built a profile of Beck, knowing where she was, what she liked, what she didn’t.
For the first two thirds of this book I was completely drawn in to how Joe slowly wove his way into Beck’s life, tuning up at just the right time to save her from herself (as he saw it) and always saying the right thing at the right time. How he identified his “enemies” through her emails and Facebook feed and then got rid of them (because they were no good for her, unlike Joe who could make her happy). Joe’s is the only voice you here. It’s repetitive and convincing. I started to think he might not be that bad after all just misunderstood (till he locks someone in a basement). But no, he’s basically rotten to the core with no redeeming features.
It was this that eventually got to me I think. The lack of redemption. He was never going to learn and there was only one way this story was going to end. With just his voice in my head and no possibility of a happy ending I started to flag. Because he was so driven, his tone was too. There was little change of pace and no self-awareness. I became tired of reading and, for me, the last 100 pages were a slog. I almost put the book down but kept reading in case I was wrong about the outcome (I wasn’t).
It is a shame because it’s not a badly written book by any means. In fact, it’s clever in taking the angle and in creating the character Joe, who doesn’t just lurk but fully inserts himself into Beck’s life. The problem was I couldn’t get away with such a relentless voice and nothing to cut it with for over 400 pages. Take 50 – 100 out and I think I would have been fine. I’d probably have been raving about this book as so many others have. As it is, because of the length and lack of change of page and tone, I have ended up liking vs. loving this book.
A really thoughtful, nuanced review, Emma. Thank you!
I almost put it down a few times. It just never let up. I don’t know if I could say try again.
Great review, the premise sounds interesting.I might have to see if it’s available at the library and give it a go.
Thanks. It is an interesting premise just a bit too long for me.
I’ve been meaning to get to this – what you said reminded me a little of my thoughts on Disclaimer, which I abandoned as I felt both voices were not distinct enough from each other – although I’ll probably give it another shot as I know everyone else seemed to love it!
One person’s POV can be a little tiresome if they’re so unlikeable. And something tells me I read he was going to appear in a follow-up, although I don’t know if that’s her latest novel, Hidden Bodies – another I have on my packed Kindle!

One of my reasons for attending American Intercontinental University Online was the quality of education i received, along with business courses which helped me to focus more on learning important concepts in addition to developing college-level writing skills.
The coursework emphasized online learning modules such as Discussion Boards, along with Individual Projects, and Group Projects. The group projects I had for each course taught me the importance in working on a project with others as a team, and this skill is important in the workplace. In addition, learning tools such as multimedia presentations, live chats, and the library were all resources that helped me to become a successful student.
The interaction between my professors and classmates was always professional and interesting. The discussion forums invited me the opportunity to share my insights with other classmates.
My overall experience with AIU was more than a positive one. From the time I was accepted all the way to graduation, the team of faculty members, advisors were by my side and was very supportive of my educational pursuits.
28 out of 36 users found this review helpful.
Unfortunately I had a very unpleasant experience with the staff at AIU. I found that all that were employed there, lacked any sense of communication between departments. I was called 4-5 times a day by different individuals leaving me the same messages, to things I had already taken care of. I actually turned my phone on silent so that it wouldn't annoy me so much. At the end of a long month of back and forth miscommunication I called it quits... It's to bad that I was never refunded my admissions fee. I do NOT recommend attending AIU, however I am not giving up on Online Education!
I do not regret for attending American Intercontinental University for the past 3 years and I am about to complete my bachelor business administration degree concentrating healthcare management next month. I enjoyed learning from every courses because students and instructors gave their excellent insights on a topic or a subject diligently and meaningful. Every department is easy to navigate and easier to obtain information where a student seeks for help and the answers are usually returned within less than 24 hours. Especially, the Financial Aid department, they are straightforward and honest and aids student with the finance with ease. Classmates and professors interactions are respectful and professional. The tools that I have used online are the textbooks, library that contains subjects’ archives, articles and journals, websites, and instructors’ PowerPoint presentations, and classroom materials. My overall experience at American Intercontinental University is fulfilled and worthy! A.I.U. can make your education delicious!
I love education and I have wanted to upgrade myself for a long time. American Intercontinental University provided me an opportunity to higher education that fits my busy schedule. Friendly environment, knowledgeable and caring professors that helped me to achieve my goal. It was a wonderful experience, thank you AIU.

Did you know that the number of petals on a flower, like the numbers of many other things in nature, is often a number from the Fibonacci sequence?
In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89.
Daisies commonly have 34, 55 or 89 petals, though those numbers may be an average rather than specific to an individual flower.
The game “He loves me, he loves me not,” is played by stating each phrase in turn while removing a petal from a daisy flower. The phrase accompanying removal of the last petal is considered to be true. The result would obviously depend upon the type of flower chosen, as well as the number of petals on the particular flower.
This week at the Carrot Ranch, Charli Mills has challenged writers to in 99 words (no more, no less) include white flowers in your story. This is a repeat prompt, but one that has an ability to be emotive. Humor, drama, irony — go wherever the white flowers lead.
The prompt led me to incorporate the two snippets of information above into an is true/isn’t true story on a topic often hotly debated by young children at this Christmassy time of the year.
“Is too,” he screamed, running away, blinded by tears.
Across the enormous park, he plonked himself down in a patch of wild daisies, and began pulling them up, ripping them apart.
“It can’t be. They don’t know anything.” Fists clenched against doubt that threatened annihilation.
As tears subsided to sobs, his petal removal became more rhythmical, purposeful: “Is true. Isn’t true. Is true. Isn’t true …” He crushed the remains, then plucked another: “Is true. Isn’t true. Is true …” Nooo!
To read others’ thoughts on the topic of “Is it true?” click here and here.

This week at the Carrot Ranch Charli Mills talks about her years as a ballet-Mum, working behind the scenes to ensure the performers were ready to take to the stage.
She talks about the pleasure of watching from theatre stalls, a recent performance of dancers taught by the daughter she’d taken to lessons all those years before.
She sees connections between her role as stage-Mom and her role as Lead Buckaroo at the Carrot Ranch; and similarities between ballet performances and performing with flash fiction.
This, of course led to the week’s flash fiction prompt in which Charli challenged writers to In 99 words (no more, no less) write that features a performance. You can interpret what is a performance any way the prompt leads you.
There is little in which Charli is unable to find an analogy to writing. Likewise, I am always keen to find the connections, similarities and analogies to teaching. I have long considered teaching to have elements consistent with entertaining and performing, with our classroom the stage, and the students the interactive audience, the participants for whom and by whom the daily enactment evolves. Regardless of how we feel, each day we enter our classrooms ready to perform, determined to give our students the best educational experience possible.
But I am also familiar with other performances. I performed in many plays as part of studying Speech and Drama throughout school. Both children had a big interest in drama at school also, and I spent many hours ferrying them to classes around the city, making costumes, and watching rehearsals as well as final performances.
As a teacher, I would provide opportunities for children to role play, improvise impromptu scenarios, create puppet plays, and perform songs or plays for parents throughout the year.
Then there are the other impromptu performances that toddlers are great at turning on when the inappropriate moment takes them.
Tonight, I had the pleasure of viewing a presentation, rather than performance, of a story written by local author Yvonne Mes. The story A Starry Christmas was animated and displayed in a spectacular light show on Brisbane City Hall. What an amazing way to have one’s work shared. Congratulations must go to Yvonne for writing the story, and the teams who animated it and produced it. You can watch a video of the story and read some additional information about the event on Yvonne’s website here.
I thought I’d combine a few of these ideas into my response to Charli’s flash fiction prompt this week. I hope you enjoy it.
A two-day city visit is never enough, but they were determined – trekking the city, visiting in-store Santas, viewing Christmas-dressed windows, watching street performers, even attending a pantomime, with just a brief playground stop for lunch. The light show was the day’s finale. The tired parents and niggly children collapsed onto the lawn in anticipation. Suddenly the littlest began to perform – crying, screaming, stamping, flailing. Nothing would soothe. The eldest observed, zombie-like. Soon the light-show distracted, occasionally interrupting the performance. Only when the fireworks began, drowning out his cries, did he give in to sleep, sprawled indecorously on the grass.

This month it is my great pleasure to invite Kim Michelle Toft to the blog. I have been an admirer of Kim’s work for many years. Not only does she do the most marvellous and unique silk paintings to illustrate her work, her books inspire children, and adults, to share her passion for protecting the ocean and its inhabitants.
I have previously written about Kim’s work here, here and here. In this post I am talking with her about her innovation of the familiar Christmas carol The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Kim’s book The Twelve Underwater Days of Christmas is a celebration, not only of the season, but of the beauty of our world and its gift to us. Our gift in response is to care for and preserve it. As well as information about all the animals featured, it includes a stunning six-page foldout poster as well as information about the original carol.
Welcome to readilearn, Kim. We are looking forward to getting to know you better.
Kim, you tell your stories with words and pictures? When did you know you wanted to be a storyteller and share your stories with others?
I started drawing when I was 4 years old. I would spend hours on my own, drawing. My mother would buy me small Golden Books and take me to see all the Walt Disney movies. I knew then that I wanted to have a career in art. I started writing and illustrating my picture books when my daughter Casey arrived, 26 years ago.

It can be really tempting to think that an interest free credit card will be really good. Having a card where you do not have to pay any interest can be really tempting. It is easy to think that you will be able to get all sorts of benefits from it. Although there are advantages to a card like this, there are also disadvantages and it is wise to have a good understanding of these as well, so that you can be sure that the card is the right choice for you.
Having an interest free card means that you will be able to spend on it and not worry about having to pay interest on the outstanding balance. You will have to make a small payment each month though, equivalent to what you would have to pay on a normal credit card as a minimum payment. So you need to be prepared for having to do this.
If you spend using the card wherever you can but save up the money that you would otherwise have spent, in a savings account then you can gain interest on those savings. If you can find an account with a high interest rate then you will be able to make quite a bit of money this way.
You will find that the interest free period on the card will not last forever. It may just be for a few months or maybe up to year if you are lucky. After this time though there will be interest added on to the card and unless you repay all of the outstanding balance on the card before the interest period kicks in then you will have to pay it. The interest that you pay could be higher than that on a standard credit card and if you leave it unpaid or not fully repaid for a long time then you may find that you end up paying more money out in interest than you would if you had just taken out a standard card. Of course, if you save up the money and repay the full outstanding balance before the interest kicks in then you will not pay any interest and you will gain.
For some people the idea of an interest free card can make them really excited about having lots of money to spend. They might start buying all sorts of things that they do not really need and would not normally buy. It can be really easy to forget that these things do need to be paid for and if you do not want to pay extra for them (because of the interest) you will have to repay the money pretty quickly. If you feel that you might fall into the trap of overspending then it might be wise not to get the card at all.
Sometimes we can justify our spending because we are buying things for other people, helping small businesses or buying on our local high street. Although it is great to do these things, it will not make it any easier for you to repay the money. You still need to be really careful about what you are spending the money on and how much you are spending and bear in mind the date when you will need to repay the money. A good tip can be to frequently check the balance of the card and make sure that you have enough money available to repay it when you need to. Make sure that you are also aware of the date that you need to repay it.
We are all different in the way that we treat credit. Some of us use it to our advantage and make use of interest free credit so that we can not only get items without having to pay for them but so that we can save the money we would have spent on those items in an account and profit form it. However, others of us will use it as free money and spend it without thinking about repaying and then get stung when we suddenly start being charged interest on it. And there are those of us with poor credit ratings who prefer using loans to fund our credit based purchases. You will know what sort of person you are and therefore this will enable you to be able to choose whether this sort of card might be a good idea for you or whether it will not be. If you are not sure, perhaps if you have not had a credit card before then try to imagine. Think about whether you normally manage your money well, whether you spend it as soon as you get it and as quickly as you can or whether you save some just in case and spend it slowly so that you are sure that you will have enough for everything that you need.

For some reason, anytime that I am asked to enter a password (e.g. login in kdm, sudo, etc.) the blank password always works. Can anyone suggest some places where I should start looking to solve this problem? My thought was it has something to do with pam, but I've never messed with any of the pam files.
sudo itself can be configured to not require a password. but i think there shouldn't be a password prompt at all instead of accepting an empty one.
have you tried changing your password already?
and are wrong passwords are also accepted ?
Thanks for the ideas. I tried setting my password, but that didn't change anything. One thing that I didn't say correctly is that it isn't just that the empty password works, anything works. It is as if the password checker is just the function that ignores the input and returns true.
You mention about hashing made me think that this might have to do with kernel implementations of hash functions. Is that a possibility? I'm not sure what would be wrong with my kernel config, but it would that be possible?
Do you actually have set passwords for root and for your users?
None of them are empty. Some have ! or !!, but none are empty.
I'm not an expert with pam, but here at my side this is required instead of sufficient and this could cause this. try changing that and report back.
Sure you didn't do it?
Thanks a lot. That seems to have done it.
Not sure how it got changed, I didn't even know that /etc/pam.d/ existed until I started having this problems. Maybe it was a bad merge from an etc-update or something like that.
very unlikely. required should be the default there.
