You've found the perfect place for your gym, now let us help you prepare for the next step: negotiating the lease.
So you found the perfect space for your gym and it's time to negotiate your lease.
Though drafting up a lease and signing on the dotted line might seem relatively straightforward, small gym owners say there are pitfalls to beware of that you really want to avoid. And ways to save money. If you're a sharp negotiator, that is.
If you know you're going to need to make renovations to your new space—or build features like bathrooms—it's worth it to try to save money by negotiating these costs into your lease. One gym owner we know said he saved $25,000 this way.
It's also pushing to include possible future repairs into your lease, such as your heating unit (especially if it's old). If a heating system breaks and you have to replace it one year into your lease, you're going to be kicking yourself.
On a similar note, it's also important to look into local bylaws. Another gym owner said he spent $30,000 on building new restrooms and then the City came in and mandated a handicapped restroom be built, causing an additional $10,000 expense that could have been avoided from the get go.
Many gym owners say if they were to do it all over again they'd hire a lawyer to look through the minor details of the lease. It's worth it if it saves you money and headaches in the future.
Often a lawyer will catch things you might not understand or even be aware of. One gym owner, for example, told us he didn't understand the difference between a gross lease and a triple net lease. (In a gross lease, the tenant pays a set sum and the landlord pays all real estate expenses. In a net lease—referred to as a triple net lease—the tenant pays for the utilities and property taxes in addition to the rent). Needless to say, this gym owner agreed to pay a whole lot more than he originally realized.
If you choose not to hire a lawyer to look over your lease, make sure you read the fine print. One gym owner's landlord tried to build in a 'personal guarantee provision' into the lease that would make the tenant personally liable for the remainder of the lease even if the business went bankrupt.
Similarly, watch out for details such as yearly increases. Or at the very least, make sure yearly increases are reasonable, so you don't end up paying 25 percent more in your fourth year than your first.
Spend the money on an inspection to make sure your building is up to your current city codes.
Do your research to make sure what has been promised in the lease is even feasible.
One gym owner we spoke with told us his landlords promised his utilities would be submetered, meaning the landlord would bill the tenant based on individually measured utility usage. Turns out, the building wasn't set up for submetering setting that up would cost $40,000. Because of this, the gym's electricity was turned off twice when the landlord didn't pay the bill.
Include provisions into your lease that allow for things like running in and out of the building, sled pushes, tire flips, loud music, noise, dropping barbells etc.
If it's going to take you a couple months to renovate your new space, negotiate to get two or three months lease abatement so you're not paying rent while you're upgrading the facility.
Negotiate an option to the backend of your lease. For example, if you're signing a four year lease, negotiate another two-year extension option to give you the power to stay longer if you want, or exit if need be.
When as lease is about to expire and you're planning on renegotiating a new lease, start the process early. If you can't come up with a new agreement, you don't want to be scrambling to find a new space.
Further, it might go without saying but if you do have a trusting relationship with your landlord, try not to be too trusting. In other words, don't negotiate anything verbally. Get it in writing right away, and then follow up, follow up, follow up.
Good luck on your lease journey.


Earthquake in Peru: A quake measuring 6.4 on the Richter Scale was registered in Peru's southern coast on Tuesday. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), no immediate injuries or damage reports were received. The earthquake struck at 9:05 pm local time at a depth of 44 km.
The origin point is being reported as the 220 km west of Arequipa. It is Peru's second most populous city. An alarm was provoked as a result of the tremor. However, no initial damage was reported. The Mayor of the southern town of Caraveli said that residents came out to the streets as it generated fear.
The country resides on the "Ring of Fire" an arc of fault lines that circle the Pacific Basin. Quakes and volcanic eruptions are frequently observed here.
The South American nation reportedly experiences about 200 earthquakes a year. And most of them aren't noticed by the common people.
The last major quake which shook Peru was in August 2007. It engulfed (killed) 595 people.

A New Restaurant Is in the Works for Controversial Sylvan Park Site
But there are still a couple of hurdles it has to overcome first

Via Atlanta Duo Plans Upscale Restaurant in Sylvan Park [Tennessean] and All Truss Restaurant Coverage [ENASH]

Eater Nashville
Plans were revealed this week for a potential new restaurant concept for the retail building located at 46th and Utah in Sylvan Park. Announced at a community meeting, The Tennessean reports that current Atlanta residents and would-be owner/operators Victoria Rothberg and Chris Raucci plan "to open [a] yet-to-be-named, globally inspired, small-plate restaurant[,]" which would be "expected to be open only for dinner and serve brunch on weekends with dishes priced between $5 and $25." Rothberg would serve as general manager, with Raucci running the kitchen.
But the restaurant, which would seat 70 inside and another 20 outside, is still a couple of approvals away from becoming a reality. First, they have to obtain a beer permit. And second, the landlord would have to get a modification to the specific plan for the property, allowing it to remain open one hour later (11 p.m. versus 10 p.m.) on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Previously, chef Deb Paquette and her team were slated to open Truss restaurant in the same space, but those plans were derailed due to a dispute between the Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association and the property's prior owner over the footprint of the new building.

Ask fellow campers about "Post View RV Park" and nearby attractions.
I made a mistake staying here. When we checked in they gave us one price then they jumped it up. We were guided into a pull thru site that was between two 5th wheel trailers with slides. As we were setting up my wife went around the site and picked up all the garbage. the water pressure at the site was less than 5 psi. The other trailers were so close that we had to close our trailer door to walk to the truck. I will never stay at this park again. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Nice woman running the place; paid cash with PA. our site was a pull through with good water and questionable electric; the box was falling apart but I always check electric and the voltage was OK. There were lots of full time residents and loose dogs around. There is nothing in the area, and it's just OK for a quick one night stay. Tried walking up the road but there were 3 loose dogs keeping watch at their house, so did not go far. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Overnight stop, so we didn't seek out any of the amenities here...but we did hit tree limbs driving through the park and had a bit of trouble figuring out the pull-through options there--seems to be double-stacked two to a site. neighboring meandering dog presence meant ours stayed inside. Owner really friendly and helpful, particularly for a holiday. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
We travel from state to state doing construction work. We found this park and just fell in love with it ! The spaces are large and we had 50 amp service . The landscaping was beautiful, lots of pines trees and roses . We have stayed in lots of rv parks but this one was exceptional. The owner went out of way to make sure everyone at park was happy . I would highly recommend this park. I will be going back We camped at Post View RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
The town of post had post office, grocery store, restaurants a home town feeling. The people in this town were very friendly.
Gravel pads. Weeds are cut back generally. Tree limbs needed to be cut back. Bathrooms filthy and partially inoperable. 50 amp service worked fine but pedestals were rough looking. Many sewer connections were without covers. Only positive was helpful owner/manager on site. Passport America rate still seemed a little high. Wouldn't do it again. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
This is a "bare bones" rv park. No internet, and we could not get any tv, although the owner said we should get a couple of stations. Sites are level, and we were in a pull-through so that we didn't have to unlock. Setting is out in the country, with a nice country road for our morning walk. The $15 rate is for Passport America. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Travel Trailer.
Campground is on owner property. It was more run down than the last time we stayed here; needs grounds and facility maintenance. Proprietor was very nice. OK for a one night stopover. Used PA rate; not worth full rate. Laundry OK; on honor system. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
Not much here. The county road to the park is dusty with wash boards. The power appears a bit dangerous, and the sites are not level. It is rundown and has a lot of long term occupants that have a lot of junk. If you have to stay in Post, this is the best park, but you would be better off to drive on by this place. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
If you don't mind missing out with WiFi or very good TV reception this park is for you. We stayed 3 nights. Lots of peace and quiet and friendly manager. The Laundry room was very clean and tidy. the park is about 2 miles west of town so it's convenient to everything including free wifi at McDonalds. We'd stay here again. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
The word "Adequate" comes to mind when I think about this park. The price is right with nice owners. The downside is that PA for 30 amp is same as 50 amp at $15 (not 12 as on website). Water in showers was lukewarm. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
Decent older park. Has a nice owner and the place is quiet and in a good location north of Post,Tx. We have stayed here before, but one word of caution. If in a tall motor home, watch out for the levelness of spots and the older trees that should be trimmed, which is our only complaint. I would stay here again. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
This campground is about the only one in this area. The sites are arranged in a back to back method. The 50amp we stayed in was long close to level and dirt. Shore power and services are good. This is not a great campground but very liveable for a couple of nights. They do have a few full time clients. Sprint Air card works very well. This is a Passport America campground. We would stay here again for a couple of days. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Fifth Wheel.
The access road is a county road and needs to be resurfaced. It's a washboard! The nice manager said the county won't repave until there is rain. The management is very friendly and helpful. We could not get a single TV channel on our antenna. This must be the only place in the US that is not digital or the signal is so distant that my bat wing antenna and booster could not find it. It's dusty, not well kept, and other than an inexpensive night on the way to another destination, has nothing to offer. We have a 30 amp rig and the electricity was good. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
Passport America park, $12.50 a night per owner's sign on her check-in counter but she charged us $15.00 a night which was not the PA discount. I couldn't get it into her head that we would not be using 50 amp but she didn't seem to understand, she just saw we had a 40' MH with 2 A/C's on the roof so must have decided she should charge us more so I didn't argue with her. Park looks run down, tight squeeze trying to get around corners and into a site. Would probably not stay here again. It is definitely not a destination park. Bathrooms were clean but very antiquated. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.
Access to this park is tricky. It's on a dirt road and very dusty. Park was near empty. Only has a couple of 50 amp hookups, and the 50 amp hookup was not putting out 50 amps. There is no cable TV. Had to leave the inverter on to make up the difference. We camped at Post View RV Park in a Motorhome.

On the offensive
Carley Dubbert has taken over the scoring responsibilities for Ferris soccer
Posted by Beau Jensen on October 3, 2017 in Soccer, Sports, Top Stories.

Ferris State women's soccer has had a nice early start against their Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference (GLIAC) competition, and leading the scoring charge for the Dawgs has been junior defender Carley Dubbert.
Though she's listed as a defender, Dubbert has been getting a lot of reps at the forward position, allowing her to amass a team high six total goals as they stroll into the October portion of the season.
Starting 2-1 against GLIAC competition this year through their first three league games, as opposed to last year's 0-2-1 league start through the same amount of games, is a beginning to the positive change that the Bulldogs would like to see. The early league wins, according to Dubbert, are just steps on the path to an even bigger team goal.
"One of my big goals for the team is to make it to the NCAA Tournament and win the GLIAC, we want a ring," Dubbert said. "I want to help my team get to the next level and work to have the best season in Ferris State women's soccer history."
On a team with an abundance of freshmen and only seven seniors, it's important for somebody to be able to step up and set an example.
"We are a very young team with fifteen freshmen so we have been working to find our groove and things have really been flowing these past couple of games," Dubbert said. "We need to keep being aggressive in front of the goal and apply hard pressure defensively."
Dubbert, the pre-pharmacy major who has hopes to enter the Ferris State College of Pharmacy next year, has a big lead on the rest of her team when it comes to goals scored, as the next nearest Bulldog has only two goals.
Defender-turned-forward Dubbert has the backing of her fellow upperclassmen as she leads the team's scoring efforts, according to senior midfielder Hilerie Schatzle.
"Carley really has a go-getter attitude and goal scoring mindset, she has six goals which have been a huge contribution to our team's success so far," Schatzle said. "She always plays 110 percent and with all the heart, which is exactly the kind of teammate you want to play alongside with and count on."
Schatzle recognizes the number of younger players on the team this year and knows that having a role model who can perform on the field is a big deal.
"The upperclassmen are responsible for teaching the standards of the team to new teammates," Schatzle said. "Here at Ferris, I think that has always been a tradition to make sure everybody is on the same page and working toward the same goals, and that is definitely part of our success."
With her pharmaceutical aspirations and her superb goal scoring ability, Dubbert has been serving up the right prescription for this Ferris State women's soccer program and she hopes to do the same throughout the rest of the 2017 season.
The ladies will finish the rest of their season playing against conference opponents en route to the GLIAC Tourney, which kicks off on Halloween. The first opponent on that list is Tiffin, who Dubbert and the rest of the Dawg pack will play on the road at noon on Friday, Oct. 6.

Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: Can't find tack strips for sale.
I ordered the plastic stuff from Fordwood and it was great. A little heat and I was able to easily form it to the seats for my speedster. It holds screws, staples and tacks just like wood or better.
Daniel,Jon Anderson also makes tack strips .
Ok sounds good. I might get the plastic ones. Would a 14 tack rail fit onto the mid year bodies?
For my 15 touring tack strips, I bought a PVC "plank" and ripped it to size and used a heat gun to shape it, and a bunch of 2" C-clamps to hold it in place while it cooled. Then I drilled it and bolted it in place. The "handrails" were made from wood using Mel Miller's wood plans.
i followed Mike's lead and ripped my own from a PVC plank from lowe's.
Easy to make, cheap and works very well.
Woah that is a really good idea, and way cheaper that buying pre made ones! I'm going to try that!!! Thanks for the idea!


San Lorenzo is a district (quartiere) in Rome, Italy. It occupies roughly the two sides of the early stretch of Via Tiburtina, starting from Termini railway station and ending at the Verano area. The latter includes the ancient basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, which the district takes its name from. Originally a working-class neighbourhood (its inhabitants were mostly workers of the Peroni Brewery and the freight yard), it has been a popular, left-oriented area. During World War II San Lorenzo was heavily bombed by Allied planes (on 1943-07-19); the only massive bombing of Rome during the war (though not the only air raid on the city), it aimed at disrupting the railway communication pivoting on the nearby huge freight yard; however, it caused also extensive damage to the buildings of the district (including the Policlinico Umberto I and the basilica itself) and killing some 1,500 people. Maria Montessori's first 3-6 age program was started in San Lorenzo in 1907. Today San Lorenzo, due to the vicinity of the La Sapienza University, is increasingly assuming the character of a student and young artist district. Every evening, hundreds of young people descend on the area, much to the chagrin and protests of the inhabitants of the area. Pizzerias, boutiques and other modern places are subsequently replacing the old popular workshops and small markets.

China will switch to a prudent monetary policy from a moderately loose stance, the Communist Party's top leaders decided on Friday, a change that could pave the way for more interest rate increases and lending controls, the state Xinhua news agency reported on Friday.
At the same time, the Politburo elected to maintain China's proactive fiscal policy, an indication that the government wants to continue to ramp up investment spending at the same time as taking tightening steps to control inflation.
The change in description of monetary policy had been discussed for several weeks by advisers to the central bank, but the Politburo's endorsement marks a decisive turning point in Chinese policy.
"It means that all sort of monetary policy tools to control liquidity and to control inflation can now be used," said Ken Peng, an economist with Citigroup in Beijing.
"In the past we've been clearly focusing on administrative measures. Going forward we could be using more price adjustments via interest rates," he said, adding that he expected five rate increases by the end of next year.
China has raised interest rates just once this year as it has guided its monetary policy back to normal from the ultra-loose settings it adopted to counter the global financial crisis.
"China has no need now to worry about overall demand at all," said Dong Xian'an, chief economist with Industrial Securities in Beijing. "Instead, the top priority is to curb inflation and avoid economic overheating."
"The sooner China acts and the more forceful measures it takes, the better," he said.
Consumer price inflation hit a 25-month high in October, rising 4.4% from a year earlier, and is expected to have edged higher in November. Although it has been driven almost exclusively by food prices, price pressures have been broadening on the back of higher global commodity costs.

As the preparation for festive season has already begun, auto firms to E-commerce companies, all have flooded the market with lucrative offers and schemes to woo buyers. With availability of large selection of products and big brands as well as new customers coming onto its platform, especially from tier II and III towns, E-commerce giant Amazon India is confident of logging strong growth in this festive season.
"Each festive sale (Great Indian Festival) has been bigger than the previous one. We feel confident because we have new customers coming in. More than 70 per cent of new customers are expected to come from tier II and III towns," Amazon India Vice President (Category Management) Manish Tiwary told PTI, while adding that big brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi and Samsung across categories like mobile phones, large appliances and others are also lining up their products during the festive sale.
Asked about the segments that would drive growth, Tiwary reportedly said that every category is expected to do well with many of them witnessing 10X growth, adding "We expect mobile phones, fashion and large appliances categories to do really well."
Notably, the company is also lining up finance options, including EMI on debit cards and Amazon Pay wallet, to ease purchases through its platform, besides setting up a festive home showcase, where it is displaying more than 1,600 of the over 170 million products available on its platform.
According to research firm RedSeer report, about 20 million people would shop on various e-commerce platforms, translating into sales of around USD 3 billion for companies like Amazon and Flipkart, during the festive sale next month.
The RedSeer report further statd that the share of items like electronics and furniture during the sale could be higher this year due to affordability initiatives being undertaken by the e-commerce players. Mobile phones currently account for a lion's share of sales on the two leading e-commerce platforms.
Smaller player ShopClues has also announced its sale from October 10-November 7, offering up to 80 per cent discount across fashion and lifestyle, home, kitchen, electronics and accessories categories.
Notably, like offline retail, e-commerce firms have witnessed significant jump in sales during Dussehra and Diwali.

===Terran Province=== ====Terra(Earth)==== Home world of the human race. In the ancient past, Terra built three separate empires. The last empire ended with an accident at the starport on the continent of Atlantis that destroyed most of the continent. Only Small portions of the planet held the technologically advanced society, the remainder was held in its natural state as large imperial preserves. When Atlantis was destroyed, large amounts of dust and radiation was thrown high into the atmosphere making it difficult for any ships from off world to land. Only a few Terrans survived and they headed out into the wilderness to seek shelter from the Ice Age that resulted. By the time ships were able to land the Terrans had resorted to stone age technology to survive. Per the protocols they had put into place, the Terrans themselves had became a protected developing society. ====Centauri Prime (Alpha Centauri==== Closest Province world to Terra and security center for the Province. They were monitoring the civilization progress on Terra and were preparing to contact it to welcome them back the Province. Before they could, they were attacked by the Reptals and every human on the planet was killed, but not before sending the emergency distress message to both Earth and Sirius Prime. The Hyperwave communicator array was destroyed and so was the tight-beam communications array. ====Sirius Prime==== Last populated world in the Terran Province other than Terra. Attacked at the same time as Centauri Prime so they could not send assistance to Centauri Prime. It wasn't until the Battle for Terra that they could send any assistance at all. ===Alliance of Unaligned Worlds=== ====Carnoria==== Home world to Queen Amalthia Atellus. With yellows instead of greens it is a beautiful and natural world very much like Earth. Colonized during the second Terran Empire, they have always kept close ties with the Terran Province. Usually with a member of the royal family marrying a Terran. It is the closest populated world to the Terran Province and leads the other worlds of the alliance. ===Imperial Worlds=== ====Principe==== Throne World of the Principean Empire. Former Subcapital of the Third Terran Empire and Home world of Emperor Malerick III and Princess Taralla Malerick. The throne world was moved to Principe after the assassination of the last Terran Emperor and the assumption of power by the Malerick Family. ====Trimaria IV==== The second populated world Richardson visits and enlists to recognize him as Primus. The regent is afraid to not support him but also will not betray the emperor which Richardson accepts.

The giant scam, revealed by the person tasked with executing these deceitful manipulations (the same Rhodes), is nothing short of scandalous.
This is the story of one young man -- Ben Rhodes is his name -- who aspired to become a novelist. He realized that dream, in a manner of sorts, by becoming a storyteller, and he would tell those stories at the White House, as the president's deputy national security advisor for strategic communications.
Storyteller is too elegant a title, perhaps, for the person who sold us the tale known as the Iran nuclear deal. A profile piece on Rhodes, one of President Barack Obama's closest advisers, by the New York Times Magazine reveals facts that we already knew, facts that led to the outrageous nuclear deal between Iran and world powers on July 14, last year:
1. The story of the elections in Iran and the victory of the "moderate" camp was a well-planned spin -- an invention -- to sell the nuclear deal to the American public (which opposed it) and to the world.
2. Obama desired a nuclear deal with Iran as early as 2009. He wanted it even more than the Iranians did, and was even prepared to sign such a deal with extremist President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
3. Obama upgraded Iran's international and regional standing in order to shirk his commitments toward U.S. allies in the region, among them Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey.
4. The Obama administration exploited journalists who are "27 years old ... and know literally know nothing" (in the words of Rhodes himself), having them sing the administration's tune to the world.
Even more experienced reporters like Jeffrey Goldberg (The Atlantic) and Laura Rozen (Al-Monitor) were relegated, at least on the Iranian issue, to "mouthpieces" for the administration.
5. Even had Iran failed to fulfill its obligations or concealed figures pertaining to its nuclear project, Obama would not have followed through on his threat to order a pre-emptive strike against it. This is according to former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, whose job, according to the New York Times article, was to make sure that Israel wouldn't attack Iran.
The giant scam, revealed by the person tasked with executing these deceitful manipulations (the same Rhodes), is nothing short of scandalous. It is testimony to how in July 2012, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's close aide Jake Sullivan was dispatched to Muscat in Oman to coordinate the details of the interim and permanent nuclear deal with the Iranians.
The New York Times story also reveals that three months before "moderate" Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was elected to office in the summer of 2013, Sullivan and then-Deputy Secretary of State William Burns had already met at the White House to approve the interim deal, which served as the basis for the permanent deal.
The Rhodes profile piece sheds light on things we already knew, or at the very least suspected, to have transpired during these manipulative negotiations. We witnessed the charade at Laussane from up close, in November 2013. Looking back, those talks were supposedly on the verge of collapsing, but in actuality the sides had already planned out the signing ceremony.
Rhodes is not waiting for Obama's term in office to end to explain the roots of his boss' worldview: the boy who grew up in Southeast Asia, in Indonesia, whose revulsion against a certain kind of global power politics was influenced by the interactions with power he had there.
As a young man, Obama, according to Rhodes, was revolted by the notion of a superpower. Thus, Rhodes explains, if someone tries tracing the origins of the idea of "leading from behind," which Obama implemented in Libya, the answers can be found in the president's childhood.
While the New York Times article focuses on Rhodes, he is only the executioner of policy. The person responsible for the scam is Obama. He is not the first to manipulate the media; many have done so before him. In 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson "sold" Congress on the idea that the U.S. had met the challenges it faced in Vietnam, which was not the case. Other presidents, as well, such as Nixon and even George W. Bush in regard to Iraq, cynically used the media. But here we are talking about Obama -- "Mr. Clean" -- the man who is allegedly without flaw.
A storyteller's festival
The New York Times piece illustrates yet again the extent to which the president is living in a virtual reality. Remember how just two weeks ago he called this the most peaceful era of human history? Now we understand that his comments have no place in the real world. Perhaps they are more befitting a storyteller's festival.
Throughout the nuclear talks with Iran, Rhodes also gave interviews to Israeli news outlets. The New York Times article about him went online Thursday; did anyone over the weekend hear those Israeli news outlets mention even one word of what Rhodes himself has just revealed?
Of course not. After all, it's one thing to hurt Israel -- but to hurt Obama's narrative? Heaven forbid.

Experian reveals surge in mortgage and savings fraud
Experian, the global information services company, has revealed that the mortgage industry saw a 23 per cent jump in attempted fraud rates between April and June 2012. In the meantime, Experian's latest Fraud Index shows that fraud fell by three per cent year-on-year across financial services products with automotive finance and insurance providers witnessing the biggest decreases during the period.
A total of 39 in every 10,000 mortgage applications were identified as fraudulent between April and June 2012, up from 32 in during the same period in 2011. Experian's fraud analysis also revealed that the majority of attacks on mortgage products continue to come from first party fraudsters, individuals misrepresenting their own circumstances. Almost a quarter (24 per cent) of attempted mortgage fraud was due to individuals hiding adverse credit information and a further one in five (21 per cent) applicants providing misleading employment histories.
Savings accounts saw a 109 per cent uplift in fraud rates over during the period also. A total of 13 fraudulent applications in every 10,000 were detected, up from 6 in every 10,000 a year ago. Third party identity fraudsters were responsible for the vast majority (88 per cent) of fraudulent activity in this sector. 11 in every 10,000 falsified savings account applications were down to unrelated third parties. This kind of identity fraud is often perpetrated for money laundering or sleeper fraud purposes.
Nick Mothershaw, Director of Identity & Fraud Services at Experian in the UK and Ireland, commented: "Over the course of the last year, we have seen mortgages continue to be targeted at a high rate, with more people trying to misrepresent their personal, employment and credit information on applications to get properties out of their reach. At the same time, we have also seen an increase in the number of properties where the use of the property is misdeclared, such as applying for a regular residential mortgage on a buy-to-let property.
"Meanwhile, deposit taking products - such as current and savings accounts - continue to be heavily targeted by third party identity fraudsters for money laundering purposes and as a sleeper platform from which to target more lucrative credit products.
"Robust fraud prevention relies on thorough and efficient validation of customers' identities and the information presented on the application form. It is vital that finance providers share comprehensive and timely information about finance applications and known frauds to help combat this common threat to the industry."
The automotive finance industry saw a decrease of 32 per cent in Q2. 16 in every 10,000 applications were discovered to be fraudulent, down from 24 in every 10,000 applications last year. Attempts at hiding adverse credit (64 per cent) were still the most common method when applying for automotive finance.

Award-winning designer creates spaces for stars
By Sue ManningThe Associated Press
The first time Cheryl Tiegs and Martyn Lawrence-Bullard met, they sat on folding chairs inside the fixer-upper she'd just bought.
LOS ANGELES | The first time Cheryl Tiegs and Martyn Lawrence-Bullard met, they sat on folding chairs inside the fixer-upper she'd just bought. It came with sticky aluminum doors, small louvered windows and worries that she might have to raze it.
That was 14 years ago. They gutted the house, raised the roof and, in 14 months, turned a five-bedroom teardown into a fantasy home — "a beautiful Balinese paradise with British Colonial touches," said Tiegs, 63.
The model's home was one of Lawrence-Bullard's first jobs as an interior designer and he said it still ranks as one of his favorites. At 43, he travels the globe to work and shop, and to this day keeps Tiegs' tropical tastes in mind.
Lawrence-Bullard talks about friends instead of clients. He has spent the past three Christmases with Cher, toasted every New Year since 2005 with Elton John and vacationed in Paris with Ellen Pompeo. "I love to travel with clients because we get inspired together," he said.
And they reciprocate. Tiegs threw Lawrence-Bullard's 40th birthday party.
On Oct. 18, Lawrence-Bullard received the Andrew Martin Interior Designer of the Year award, an Oscar-scale honor for a decorator. In January, Architectural Digest magazine listed him as one of the world's top 100 designers.
People want to live out their fantasies, he said. "I am an enabler. What makes my job exciting is that I can help people live out their fantasies."
At her Malibu home, Cher wanted Oriental and Orientalist. For her Los Angeles duplex, she wanted an Indian fantasy: a maharani palace with a slight harem feel to it, Lawrence-Bullard said.
"Cher has fantastic tastes and ideas. Her interiors are almost like stage sets and become a further extension of her personality. Her extraordinary dress sense in everyday life is very rock 'n' roll sexy. She loves that leather and lace vibe," he said. On stage, he added, she incorporates all her fantasies, "from the gypsy look to the American Indian to her sleek '70s Halston-y vibe."
Fantasy ideas accumulate over a lifetime, but some decorating decisions come quickly, Tiegs said.
She and Lawrence-Bullard were in the attic when they decided it would take $2,500 and one day to scoop out all the ceilings at the fixer-upper in the toney Bel Air section of Los Angeles. Now, the Great Room — "that's capital G and capital R" — with its 35-foot ceilings is home to a picnic table from Bali that can seat two or 24, a pool table, a cozy spot by the fireplace to sit and read, television space and room to exercise.
"I was afraid it would become like a gymnasium. But when I walked in I burst into tears I was so happy. It was so beautiful. It was so warm and so inviting," Tiegs said.
She said she can see first-time visitors take a deep breath. "It has the calmest, sweetest, most serene vibe of any house I've been in," she said.
Lawrence-Bullard has freshened up Tiegs' Great Room four times over the years with upholstery, pillows, plants and other accents.
The transition in her son's room has been a bit more extreme. Zack Peck's room started full of friendly stuffed animals when he was 4, took on lifelike tigers and cheetahs when he was 8, and became a rock star's room when he was 14 and Lawrence-Bullard converted it to zebras, rock stars and music legends.
Lawrence-Bullard insists on a splash of red and something green or living in every room. It also has to be clutter-free. Tiegs tends to leave books sitting around. After Lawrence-Bullard visits, she will find them all put away.
She has a little Balinese lamp at her front door.
"It's very feng shui. That's my red," Tiegs said. "I'm trying to green up my house as much as possible. I've put Cambria all over my kitchen, which is a natural quartz countertop, which is a green product. That was pretty major."
Besides Cher, John, Tiegs and Pompeo, Lawrence-Bullard's client list includes Eva Mendes, Kid Rock, Ozzie and Sharon Osbourne and Keenen Ivory Wayans. The decorator's present workload includes projects in six countries.
He has his own fragrance, and candle, furniture, fabric and wallpaper lines; this year's colors are saffron yellow, lilac and turquoise. And he has designed a series of rugs for The Rug Co.
He has turned down only one interior decorating job.
"I said no to gold-leafing the interior of somebody's garage once. I found that to be somewhat vulgar, and not something I wanted my name attached to," he said.
A building's history should guide its restoration and decoration,
Lawrence-Bullard said. His home was built by silent-movie star Rudolph Valentino. Over the years, it also was owned by actress Gloria Swanson and author William Faulkner, and it has an Italian 1920s vibe, he said.
Lawrence-Bullard took up flooring, restored antique fireplaces, turned a fountain that Valentino had installed into a marquee part of the house, and decorated the dining room around a chandelier that Swanson had put in.
Born in London, Lawrence-Bullard said he originally moved to Hollywood to become an actor. He had a brief modeling career and once was dressed as the debonair Valentino.
His fantasy job? Decorating the 28-room, Los Angeles castle that Johnny Depp bought after filming "Ed Wood." Or "any house for Lady Gaga," he said.
"She is the ultimate amazing icon of this decade, for sure. As an artist, she is an extraordinary woman in whatever she does," said Lawrence-Bullard, who met the singer at one of John's parties. "She was unbelievably sweet and gorgeous and intelligent and sensitive. I think that actually comes through in her music."

Where Have All the Bold Pastors Gone?
CP Current Page: Opinion | Saturday, March 10, 2012
By Jerry Newcombe, CP Op-Ed Contributor | Saturday, March 10, 2012
During this election season, the issue of religion has come up on many occasions. But for the most part, we haven't heard from many pastors---except, for example, from the brave priest from Indiana, with his denunciation against the Obama administration's move to force Catholic agencies to fund contraceptives and abortifacients against their consciences.
Another outspoken minister has been Dr. Robert Jeffress of Dallas, who was castigated about half a year ago for stating he preferred a Christian politician to a Mormon one. He was simply quoting founding father John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who said, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers" (October 12, 1816). First Chief Justice or not, one of only three authors of The Federalist Papers or no---that's too politically correct to say nowadays.
Many of the controversial issues of our day, such as abortion and marriage, have become political. But in reality, they are simply moral issues that have changed into political ones.
I think part of the reason we don't hear much from pastors these days is because of a misunderstanding of the law. Some fear---wrongly---that if they say anything viewed as a political statement, then they might lose their tax exempt status. I plan on addressing this point in a subsequent article.
In any event, we should remember that some biblical figures, like Moses and John the Baptist, spoke out against the rulers at the time and paid a price for it. Historically, being faithful to their God sometimes had a high price to it, as seen by those brave Christians fed to the lions in the arena rather than renounce their faith.
There's a great painting at the Art Institute of Chicago showing St. Ambrose rebuking Roman Emperor Theodosius (around the end of the 4th century) for an imperial massacre in Thessalonica. The bishop took his life in his hands by making such a pronouncement against the lord of the whole empire. Thankfully, Theodosius repented.
Thomas More wasn't so fortunate in his stance in refusing to give into King Henry VIII's demand for divine sanction for his divorce. More was beheaded for his courage to go against the king.
The price a bold pastor has to pay in our culture is generally a much smaller one than those sometimes demanded in the past---or even today in some of the world's hot spots, such as in the Middle East. There's an Iranian pastor on death row right now for having converted from Islam.
Historically, in the American context, pastors and the church have often led the way in societal reforms---some of which had political implications. Two-thirds of the members of the abolition society in 1835 were ministers of the gospel. Also, the anti-slavery Underground Railroad was run by churches.
For good or bad, there's no doubt that prohibition was led by ministers, churches, and laywomen.
The civil rights movement was essentially born in the basement of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, led by their minister, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. on December 1, 1955, the night Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus after a hard day's work. Watch raw tapes of the civil rights marches, and you'll see many different Christian groups participating.
Before we even became a country, pastors (especially in New England) would preach election day sermons, not necessarily endorsing particular candidates, but explaining biblical civic duties. Georgetown-educated Dr. Donald Lutz, political science professor at the University of Houston, even notes that even the word "election" comes from the Bible and not from politics.
Dr. Donald Lutz told me, "Elections were designed by these Americans in the early era for a virtuous people to help identify who amongst are more virtuous. Who are those who are most likely to be among the elect, those who are most likely to be saved? Elections are an attempt to recognize those who are among the elect, those are more likely to have been saved and going to heaven. Therefore, we, in this country, expect those people who are elected to be virtuous."
Dr. Lutz added, "This drives the Europeans crazy. Why do we expect our president and our representatives to be good and Godly people? It's because this is the habit we got into in the very beginning. It's a Puritan notion, which we Catholics buy into right away. "
The professor notes that it wasn't enough that the candidate simply said that they were decent people. Their actions had to match their words: "And then, we would quiz them very carefully. How did you perform in the past? Were you God-fearing and were you pursuing the common good in the way you voted, the way you behaved, the way you acted? If not, I'm not going to vote for you. And so, we would filter upward men or women of greater virtue to higher office."
We are far removed from our Puritan roots. But I think some of their core principles still apply---especially the idea that the church should not completely abandon the political process.
For years, my pastor was the late Dr. D. James Kennedy, who noted, "Someone said to me, 'Do you think Christians should be involved in politics? That's dirty business.' I said, 'Of course not, you should leave it to the atheists; otherwise, you wouldn't have anything to complain about.' Well, we have got plenty to complain about today, because that is exactly what we've done."

The Plaza Hotel New York. I have always wanted to stay here at least once. After the last renovation it is now part residence and hotel with a very high end Asian style department store food hall / Harrods style food hall in the lower levels. The Plaza is a New York fixture in fact and fiction – having hosted many important social and historical events to playing an important role in the Great Gastby.
Like most of New York and 5th Avenue everything here leans on the expensive side. With the new renovations most of the rooms facing the park are now residences. Rooms have been updated but keep true to its classical heritage and have gold plated bathroom fixtures.
The building it self is beautiful, the food hall adds a nice modern touch and with good amenities and options. The food hall has big named chefs like Todd English and Boulud so be sure to try most of the food there. No pictures of the food hall but worth a visit even if you are not staying at the hotel.
The elevators were on the small side.
The public lobby, the guest lobby is to the left where the Champaign Bar and Rose Clubs are located, helping with the crowd control.


Charge Air Coolers can be found on most turbo charged vehicles, especially over the road trucks. They are mistakenly referred to by some as an "Inner Cooler" but in fact, "Inner Coolers", as the name implies, are typically water over air coolers found on the inside or interior of the engine, rather than a component located in the air stream in front of the engine.
Charge Air Coolers are air to air coolers typically found in the air stream. Their function is to cool down compressed air from the turbo charger or in some cases centrifugal superchargers. Boyle's law says any time you compress a gas, you will get heat. Compressed induction air in the form of boost is forced through the Charge Air Cooler to reduce the heat of compression and then into the engine increasing total horsepower out put and efficiency. When a Charge Air Cooler leaks, valuable boost is lost causing lost power and fuel efficiency.
We offer guaranteed "Zero Leak" recore services for Charge Air Coolers where we cut out the center section of the assembly, prep the tanks and brackets and tig weld the assembly back together with a premium quality core. The units are then pressure tested and inspected to ensure you get the quality assembly you are looking for.
Simple repairs of core damage are also available and will be recommended in cases where a repair is practical. Did you know that some manufacturers allow for an acceptable leak tolerance on brand new units?
At Best Radiator we have no acceptable leak tolerance on our new core assemblies however, if your old one has a few minor leaks at 30 or so lbs. of pressure, we will inform you but will not hard sell you on a new one. In these cases, it is better to get some more use out of the piece and recheck in 12 months to see if it is worsening and if so, recore at that time. Your bottom line is our concern.


This three-day Sales Management course aims to provide very practical guidance to help Sales Managers adopt winning approaches to each of the key functions of the job.
Delegates are taught methods which work in most situations for most managers and most teams. There are always exceptions, but the delegate is encouraged to try some new approaches, in the belief that failures can be reduced and successes increased.
This course encourages self-honesty, and open feedback from sales team members. The acid test for all Sales Managers is to ask team members how they feel the Manager is doing the job. Very few ever do this, but without honest feedback, progress is hard to achieve and old behaviours hard to change.
Anyone who manages a sales team either full time or as part of a broader role. It is particularly aimed at first-line Sales Managers who may need to discard bad habits and adopt new ones, before it's too late!
