HP is shedding thousands of employees through layoffs. But in legal actions it's taking against two ex-employees in Texas, the company is showing it wants a strong say in who leaves and who goes.Speaking at a tech conference held by Morgan Stanley yesterday, Meg Whitman gave a status report on the company's massive, three-year layoffs plan.
HP said it would be trimming about 29,000 jobs, and it's about halfway done. That means the company still plans to trim 15,000 more jobs, she said.
"I feel great about where we are in the context of this turnaround," she said.
There's no question that HP needed to get a handle on expenses when Whitman took office. In a company with more than 300,000 employees, layoffs were an obvious choice, particularly within HP's struggling Enterprise Services unit, which provides information-technology services to businesses. It's by nature a people-heavy business.
But by putting people on notice their jobs may not be safe — and it may be years before the cutting process stops — employees are apt to quit on their own.
And this can lead to some odd consequences.
Last October, General Motors, a huge HP customer, announced that it would directly hire some 3,000 HP workers who had been managing GM's IT operations. GM was "insourcing," or taking some of its IT operations back in-house, and putting HP's $600 million outsourcing contract at risk.
It's not clear how much HP will be able to keep of that big, multimillion-dollar GM contract.
Two HP employees saw their chance. They quit for jobs at GM and allegedly took 18 employees with them to GM.
One thing we can't figure out: Wouldn't it make them happy when employees quit on their own, saving on severance costs?
We asked HP but the company declined comment.
A possible explanation: If HP is able to keep key employees in place, it may have a better chance of keeping at least some of GM's business. The more GM is able to hire HP employees on its own, the sooner it can stop paying HP.

Sansolo Speaks: Boldly Go…Everywhere
by Michael Sansolo
One of the benefits of attending a college with a program in physical education was that we liberal arts students got a chance to learn many different sports. I don't know why, but I once chose a course in figure skating and learned a lot about balance and backward skating. Though I didn't know it at the time, I also got a huge lesson in life and business.
Here's why. When you try to do anything in figure skating there is one simple rule: if you never fall, you aren't trying hard enough. Since I spent a lot of time on my butt, I felt I was trying really hard.
I recalled that lesson this week while reading an interview in the New York Times with Kathleen Flanagan, president of CEO of Abt Associates, a consulting firm. (The Times article appeared in a column called "Corner Office" that appears every Sunday in the business section. It should be mandatory reading for anyone aspiring to leadership.)
Flanagan recounted her rapid climb up the corporate ladder and how it came with one big lesson early on. Sensing her nervousness at moving into management while still in her 20s, Flanagan's boss told her to both embrace the butterflies she had in her stomach, while she maintained steadfast belief in herself. (It's kind of like the great advice on advancement from the film Bull Durham: "You play this game with fear and arrogance.")
It's easy to read a lot into Flanagan's story about butterflies in the stomach, a condition I'm betting all of us have experienced countless times. Most of the time we get those runaway nerves when we venture into new places—literally or figuratively. When we do the routine, we rarely feel any form of anxiety. If anything, we're more likely to feel boredom or déjà vu. When we go where, as Star Trek tells us, we've never gone before, the butterflies get active and big.
Just as with figure skating, you can't do anything if you don't practice and master the basics, but you certainly don't break any boundaries by simply skating circles around the rink. When you take a chance you might fall on your butt, but that is the only way to get airborne. In business the reality is different because if you don't take the chance you risk watching while someone who does. If, and when, they succeed their advantage can be overwhelming. Taking chances seems so risky in our current environment, when cost cutting rules, but it's riskier still to do nothing when companies like Amazon or Facebook rewrite the rules with every step they take.
It seems those lessons come at us constantly and while we enjoy some Schadenfreude when a company like Netflix or Bank of America makes a huge mistake, we have to admire their guts for trying. It's worth keeping that in mind while we watch Walmart open smaller stores, Dollar General open larger ones and see Google experiment with changing the way everyone pays for everything.
It's worth asking regularly whether you are skating around in circles or trying to soar with the butterflies.

Tuesday Morning Eye-Opener: It Really Is A Small World After All
by Kevin Coupe
So much for six degrees of separation.
The New York Times this morning reports that scientists at Facebook and the University of Milan have done some recalculating, and now say that "the average number of acquaintances separating any two people in the world was not six but 4.74."
The estimate comes via a one-month experiment run on Facebook. According to the Times, "The researchers used a set of algorithms developed at the University of Milan to calculate the average distance between any two people by computing a vast number of sample paths among Facebook users. They found that the average number of links from one arbitrarily selected person to another was 4.74. In the United States, where more than half of people over 13 are on Facebook, it was just 4.37."
Now, there are legitimate questions that can be raised about this study. For one thing, it was a self-selecting subject group - if you aren't on Facebook, you weren't considered. For another, the definition of "friend" isn't what it used to be. (I have more than 22,000 MNB subscribers ... am I just separated from them by one degree? It all depends on your definitions.)
But the real message of this study is not in the specific numbers. Rather, it is in the simple notion that however you treat one specific customer, you have to understand that this treatment may well be communicated to thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, other people.
That is both powerful, and scary. Powerful, because if you do something right, it will be communicated enthusiastically to a lot of other people. Scary, because if you mess up, it is unlikely to be just an isolated incident.
Not only do leaders and managers have to think about that, but they need to make sure that all the people on the front lines of their businesses understand just how fragile the relationship with the shopper can be, and how they are uniquely and individually responsible for the company's success or failure.
It can be an Eye-Opener.
The Strange Eating Habits of the Millennial Generation
Good piece in USA Today focusing on the outright "weird" eating habits of Millennials, who nosh "as if our social-media habits are going right to our stomachs."
No longer do people eat breakfast foods at breakfast, lunch foods at lunchtime, and traditional dinner foods at suppertime - people eat what they want, when they want it, and they don't pay attention to traditional definitions.
"These may seem like quirky, student eating habits, but they're evolving into lifetime traits," USA Today writes. "The numbers are mind-boggling. At least 35% of the meals eaten by Millennials aren't meals at all, but snacks, reports consultancy The Kruse Company. Four in 10 Millennials snack more than once daily, reports research firm Technomic. And only 5% of all consumers eat three square meals a day, says Technomic."
There are marketing implications: "A culture hungry to put its personal stamp on everything it touches is driving some food makers and restaurant operators bonkers. At the same time, it's offering all kinds of opportunities to those willing to sprint ahead of the food curve." Many companies "have turned their new product labs and test kitchens on their heads. It's no longer about inventing the next big meal, but about concocting the next big snack."
I find this story to be fascinating, though I do wonder a bit if it is cause or effect. To a certain extent, the lack of emphasis on the traditional family dinner that seems to have permeated the culture must bear some responsibility for this. If we insist that our kids sit down for dinner with us, then we establish at least some parameters for how they eat. (We're having an odd week in the Coupe household because everybody is home for Thanksgiving, and so the house is full - five adults, two dogs, one bird and it looks like there will be a bunch of friends bouncing in and out. And yet, last night, we all sat around and had dinner together. Wasn't even a holiday or a birthday. Just how we do things. And it was cool.)
The other interesting thing about this story is that while restaurants and fast feeders have to retool their menu development processes to adjust to these shifts, supermarkets by their very nature have products that cut across the spectrum. That said, maybe these changes in eating habits mean that retailers need to rethink traditional store layouts and category sets. Because while they may make sense in terms of operational efficiency, maybe they are less relevant for the next generation of consumers.
Seattle Considering Ban On Plastic Bags, Fee For Paper Bags
The Seattle Times reports that the Seattle City Council seems poised to adopt new legislation that would ban the use of free plastic shopping bags, and impose a five-cent fee apiece on paper shopping bags. If passed, it would take effect on July 1, 2012.
According to the story, "The Seattle ordinance is modeled on one adopted this year in Bellingham, which takes effect next summer ... Council members say the measure would help clean up Puget Sound and protect marine life."
The story notes that Hilex Poly, the nation's largest manufacturer of plastic bags, said yesterday it prefers a statewide approach, and said that the proposal is "simplistic" and "does not address plastic litter in all of its forms."
PCC Natural Markets (PCC), the nation's largest consumer-owned grocery retailer, has announced its support for the proposed ordinance, noting that it "discontinued offering plastic shopping bags to customers at all of its stores – within and outside of Seattle city limits – in October 2007. PCC shoppers responded very positively to the elimination of plastic bags at checkout; two-thirds of PCC customers bring their own reusable bags or opt not to use a PCC-provided paper bag for their baggable purchases."
"PCC wholeheartedly endorses this highly visible and impactful step the City of Seattle is taking to reduce the considerable and unnecessary waste generated by the distribution of single-use plastic shopping bags," says Tracy Wolpert, PCC's CEO. "We know from experience that consumers will ultimately view this ban as an initiative proposed with the health and safety of our communities and the environment in mind."
The Times notes that Town & Country Markets, which has six grocery stores in the Seattle area, also supports the plastic-bag ban. "Getting plastic out of the system is the right thing to do," says Tony D'Onofrio, sustainability director for the markets.
The opinion here for a long time has been that these kinds of bans are coming, and it simply makes sense to embrace them rather than fight them. Customers will adapt, retailers will get rid of the cost of bags and add sales of reusable bags to their bottom lines, and peace will reign in the valley.
Texas Supermarket Chain Partners In Cancer Treatment, Prevention Effort
Lubbock, Texas-based United Supermarkets announced a public-private partnership with Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center "to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-tiered approach to enhance primary cancer prevention and help cancer survivors reduce their risk for cancer recurrence, within rural communities. This project is funded by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) and runs through February 2013."
According to the announcement, "The goal of the project is to substantially prevent cancer and cancer recurrences in one rural community – Muleshoe, Texas. If successful, this project will develop a feasible intervention program which could be replicated and enable other small, rural communities to successfully address multiple cancer risks and ultimately reduce the cancer incidence within the community ... The project aims to address the most preventable sources of cancer – obesity, tobacco use and sunburn. Randomly selected participants will be evaluated through repeated measurements of body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure levels, combined with an analysis of the participants' three-day food records, supermarket sales records, and survey data assessing health status and cancer-preventing related behaviors. Additionally, behavior changes in both the type and frequency of sunburn prevention practices and tobacco product usage will be monitored."
Very cool. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
Egg Farm Responds To Charges Of Animal Cruelty
Just a day after McDonald's and Target dropped Minnesota-based Sparboe Farms as an egg supplier, citing undercover videos shot by the advocacy group Mercy for Animals that showed cases of animal cruelty, Sparboe said that the video depicted "activity completely at odds with Sparboe's animal welfare policies and do not represent their company or the high standards that have always been a hallmark of their operations."
The company acknowledged that the video and a subsequent internal investigation "confirmed violations of Sparboe's animal care policies," and said that it has "zero tolerance" for such acts, and that the people involved have been terminated.
Survey: Retailers With Best Customer Service
The National Retail Federation (NRF) is out with its annual list of the retailers with the best customers service, and they are, in alphabetical order: Amazon.com, JCPenny, Kohl's Department Stores, Land's End, L.L. Bean, Newegg, Nordstrom, Overstock.com, QVC, and Zappos.
How these companies are ranked won't be released until the annual NRF Show in New York in January.
Are you going to NRF? If so, drop me a line. I plan on attending this year, and may try to pull together a little MNB get-together, depending on response.
eBay Gets Physical, At Least Temporarily
In the UK, the Telegraph reports that eBay plans to open a brick-and-mortar store in London, just off Oxford Street, for just five days - from December 1-5.
The story says that "the shop will have no tills and only a very limited selection of products, none of which shoppers can take away with them. Instead, 200 of the bestselling items such as a party dress from House of Fraser or an inflatable ride-in Dalek toy will be on display for customers to inspect. If they want to buy it, they can then use their smart phones to scan in a so-called QR code on the ticket ... There will also be a separate area of the shop with eight tablet computers, with the full assortment of eBay's 200m products, if people just want to browse and buy from the internet."
Everybody seems to be getting into the QR code act.

• The Boston Globe has a piece about a website called Zaarly.com, described as "an online marketplace where people list services or goods they want to buy, such as Apple Inc.'s iPhone, bicycles, or sweaters." The site serves as a way for people to either avoid long lines or hire a personal shopper who can stand on line for them.
According to the piece, Zaarly.com is one of a number of sites that "can help people save time and money, offering bargain-hunting tips and the best comparison deals from top retailers, analysts said, sparing consumers the trouble of surfing myriad retail sites or walking through dozens of stores."

• The Wall Street Journal reports that meat producers are compensating for higher costs and a decline in Americans' meat eating habits by doing two things: 1) turning to foreign markets, where US beef can fetch a higher price than in home markets, and 2) focusing on branded, value-added items that consumers perceive as being worth a higher price.
• The Boston Globe reports on yet another holiday survey, this one from NPD Group. This one says that "17 percent of survey respondents told NPD that they plan to start their shopping on Thanksgiving weekend this year, compared with 12 percent in 2010 and 11 percent in 2009."
The reason? NPD says that "brick-and-mortar retailers are feeling some heat from online rivals. In a bid to generate excitement, brick-and-mortar merchants are extending their Thanksgiving hours and loading up on promotions as they look to entice consumers to come to their stores."
• The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reports that Target Corp. has received petitions with 190,000 signatures asking that the company reconsider its decision to open its doors at midnight on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
However, the story also says that despite the outpouring, Target is not going to change its mind.
• The Network of Executive Women (NEW) announced that it has named Kathy Bayert as its director of learning and advisory services.
Bayert, who most recently served as senior manager, organizational effectiveness for the Sara Lee Corp. Organizational Development Global Center of Excellence, will oversee and develop training tools for members and develop content for the Network's educational programs, including the NEW CPG Retail Diversity Forum, NEW Executive Leaders Forum and NEW Leadership Summit. She will also act as an advisor to NEW sponsors and members working to build and sustain workplace diversity and inclusion activities.
Your Views: Associated Food Stores Responds
I received the following email yesterday from Monte Peterson, chairman of Salt Lake City-based Associated Food Stores' Board of Directors, responding to a piece that ran last Friday about layoffs, salary cutbacks and other changes taking place at the company:
For some time now, the Board of Directors (made up of independent store owners that are members of Associated Food Stores) has been reviewing all aspects of our company. Neal Berube had been asked to lead a team of executives at AFS to help us identify areas of value and areas within our company that need continuous improvements.
On November 11, 2011 the Board of Directors unanimously elected Neal Berube as President and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Food Stores. At that time the Board also approved and set into action a detailed plan which would allow us to further position the company as a leader in the industry and allow our retailers to thrive in our respective markets.
The leadership had to make some difficult decisions which companies everywhere have been making for the past two to three years. Our leadership values every team member and has been optimistic about a potential economic turnaround. Unfortunately, the global and national economic situation has not turned toward the positive as quickly as hoped.
In coordination with the Board of Directors, AFS leadership made adjustments and 70 positions within the company were affected. We were able to provide opportunities for 42 of the 70 positions as they were transferred from administrative and other supporting functions to merchandising and store-level positions in an effort to invest in retail support. These 42 people represent some of AFS' best and having them at retail will have a positive impact on our store guests' experience throughout the holiday season and over the long term. The people, whom we were not able to offer a continuing opportunity, were treated with respect and compassion.
The reality of the situation is we currently hold the number one position in the Utah market with 35% of the share. Our cash flows are strong due in part to a dramatic turnaround at Fresh Market. Much has been said about Fresh Market over the last couple of years. We are proud to say that the Fresh Market store teams have been hard at work looking for ways to improve store operations and their guest experience. Prior to taking over as CEO of AFS, Neal Berube was directly involved in the turnaround during his previous role as President of Fresh Market.
Associated Food Stores has serviced the needs of its member retailers for more than 70 years. We look forward to continuing that legacy for decades to come. Our Board and team members are incredibly optimistic about our new leadership and look forward to working with them during the months and years ahead.
What Mr. Peterson is discreet enough not to mention in his email is that the leadership at AFS was dismayed by my story last Friday and felt strongly that I had not been fair to them in how it was reported and the details that were in the story. I've had some time to think about this, and to a great degree I think they are right - and while they have not asked for me to address this issue, I'm going to do so anyway.
The meat of the story was that a) as many as six dozen people had been laid off, b) a number of people have been asked to take salary cuts of up to 25 percent, and c) some of the people laid off were escorted from the building.
I was clear in my reporting that this story came via several sources, but one thing that I was not clear enough about was why I was unable to reach AFS for comment before posting the piece. I wrote that "MNB was informed about the layoffs late last night, and was unable to reach AFS for comment," but what I meant to convey was that because of the timing of the tip and when I file MNB, and the time difference between New England and Utah, there was nobody I could call to get a comment. It was not like I tried and was rebuffed - and I should have been clearer in my language.
As for the facts of the case ... while there is a small difference in numbers, the original story did not mention that a majority of the people laid off from existing jobs were offered other positions. That's not what I was told by my sources, but that is the stated position of AFS. The company also maintains that nobody was escorted from the premises, and that there were no significant salary cuts. Again, that's not what I was told.
Ultimately, AFS feels that if I were doing my job right, I would have held the story for a day or two while checking with them for comment, that it was irresponsible for me to depend on people who might be disgruntled for my information. As I said last Friday, I felt secure about my sources ... and I was as clear as I could be, without revealing names, about where the story came from. That said, upon reflection, I think AFS is right on this one.
If I had it to do over again, or if faced with similar circumstances, I think I would probably make a different decision. One of the things about the internet and forums like MNB is that they make it possible to spread information with amazing speed. But speed for its own sake isn't always a good idea. As has often been said here on MNB in a number of contexts, just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should do a thing.
There were elements of my commentary that I think were pretty tough. I wrote then and continue to believe that this is a difficult time of year to impose these kinds of changes, and it can have an enormous negative impact on morale. But let me also amplify on something else I wrote last Friday - which is that sometimes companies and their leaders have to make tough decisions, and there is almost never a good time to take drastic measures. There are bad times and less bad times. And sometimes, life doesn't give you a choice.
I also believe that AFS is in a time of transition. There has been a change in the company's leadership, there are changes taking place in terms of staffing and operations, and the company faces enormous challenges - some of them as a result of past decisions, and some of them because of an unforgiving economy. It is my sense that perhaps not everyone in the company is on the same page ... and it is up to current management to get everyone reading from the same hymnal, heading in the same direction. (I know I'm mixing my metaphors here, but c'est la vie.)
After 10 years of doing this, you'd think that I'd learn not to screw up. But the thing is, I will make mistakes from time to time. I hope they're mostly small ones. But whether they are small or large, or matters of fact or judgement or opinion, the very least you can expect is that I won't be defensive about them, and that I'll be willing to explore my thinking and my actions and consider whether I should have done things differently.
In this case, I should have. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Home Movies Brad Pitt Hits a Grand Slam Home Run with "Moneyball"
Brad Pitt Hits a Grand Slam Home Run with "Moneyball"
by Roger Friedman - September 11, 2011 10:34 am
Once upon a time, a long time ago, Brad Pitt had an Oscar nomination with "Three Twelve Monkeys." (I lost nine along the way!) It seemed like a turning point for the new generation Robert Redford. And then, nothing. Sometimes Pitt was very interesting in a film and not taken seriously. ("Devil's Own," "Sleepers," "Burn After Reading"). Other times, he wasn't so great — think "Troy." But maybe it was because the movies weren't so good. Now with Bennett Miller's "Moneyball," Brad is going to get his Oscar nomination and maybe even win. He is note for note perfect as Oakland A's manager Billy Bean, creating a whole character of such dimension and depth that he surprised maybe even himself.
"Moneyball" is all about how Bean came to be convinced to use something called 'sabremetrics'–a numbers theory developed by Bill James in the late 70s–to guide his team to victory. In 2002, the A's–with the lowest salary budget in the major leagues–won a record 20 games in a row. Bean became an overnight genius, and wound up turning down an offer from the Red Sox to become the highest paid general manager in history. The Sox went on to win the World Series, using James as a highly regarded consultant.
Full disclosure: in 1983, I was Bill James' book publicist for his "Baseball Abstract." The book became a bestseller, and Bill went on to much success and controversy in the baseball world. He was a genius before his time, and now–almost 20 years later, he's getting his due thanks to Michael Lewis's book and this Scott Rudin produced movie. I couldn't be prouder.
But the movie's greatness is thanks to Miller and his top top screenwriters Aaron Sorkin and Steve Zaillian. This is "The Social Network" with heart and soul. "Moneyball" also has the underdog spirit–missing from that well made but cold movie. There was never much sympathy in the former movie over which of those obnoxious kids got a cut of millions of dollars. But in "Moneyball" we are routing for Pitt and his team (and Jonah Hill as his Yoda, Paul Brand).
Brad Pitt makes this movie. By the time the A's are in their famous 20th game–where they blew an 11 run lead–Pitt has completely abandoned his tabloid movie star persona and absorbed into Bean completely. The intelligence that informs his charity work, his real life thoughtfulness, seeps out of him and onto the camera. It's extraordinary to watch. It also makes it possible for Miller to end "Moneyball" not with the bang of a rousing win–a "Rocky" moment–but a sweet, rich flourish. And that's when "Moneyball" becomes so much more than just another sports movie and a real work of art.

Pop Orders Scripted Comedy with Joey McIntyre; IFC's New Comedy Launching in November
Joey McIntyre plays a devoted husband, a loving father of three, and at 43, he's still the youngest member of New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), but what he really wants is to be taken seriously as an actor. Such is the premise of a new scripted television comedy series on Pop, The Joey Mac Project (working title), which heads into production this fall. Pop's new original series is inspired by Joey's real life, as the grown-up boy band member and actor who seeks his next showbiz gig after NKOTB's latest sold out tour. Pop has ordered eight episodes of the 30-minute comedy, which is executive produced by McIntyre himself along with music and television star Donnie Wahlberg, TV and radio personality Jenny McCarthy, and buzz-making television producers Tim Gibbons (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Paul Greenberg (Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris) and Jenny Daly (Storage Hunters, Hollywood and Football).
IFC announced that new horror-comedy Stan Against Evil will premiere with two back-to-back episodes Wednesday, November 2 at 10PM and 10:30PM. Additionally, in the spirit of spooks and frights, a special airing of the premiere episode will haunt viewers Halloween night, October 31 at 10PM on IFC. Starring John C. McGinley (Scrubs) and Janet Varney (You're the Worst), Stan Against Evil will air the remainder of its 8-episode first season Wednesdays at 10PM throughout the fall.
Stan Against Evil follows Stan Miller (McGinley), a perpetually disgruntled former sheriff of a small New England town who was forced into retirement. Stan has trouble relinquishing his authority to Evie Barret (Varney), the tough and beautiful new sheriff in town, but they form an unlikely alliance when both begin to realize things are not quite right in their quaint New England town. Together, they valiantly fight a plague of unleashed demons that have been haunting the town, which just happens to be built on the site of a massive 17th century witch burning.

Hello. I reinstalled windows and now every video is lagging for me. tho it does not lag in youtube with full screen. I have same problem with fire fox. Meanwhile chrome works fine.
Not sure exactly what this has to do with Opera ?.
Well, video lags on both opera and firefox, while it doesn't on chrome. So something is wrong with them.
Flash player plug-in problem ?, as they both (firefox and Opera) use the same one.
It's possible that it is flash problem. But i already tried to reinstall.
EDIT: It does not lagg in 144p at not full screen. I tried older flash versions, didin't worked.
Is there still is compatibility mode in opera? For example run sites as chrome?
I had a similar problem which weirdly turned out to be something to do with uTorrent and the firewall. Try closing/disabling these if you have them.
Turned off utorrend, and disabled firewall. It didin't fixed :?
Are your graphic card drivers installed or up-to date ?.
Yes it is up to date. It weird that is lagging only on not full screen. And the higher quality it is set, the more it lags. but as soon as I open it in full screen it is all fine.
Btw this problem started when i switched to Win 8 x64. Before i were using W7 x32. Not sure if it matter.
I have a same problem. It started for me when I got a new version from Opera. I don't remember when this happened. I noticed too that with Chrome videos are not lagging.
Install the (currently beta) beta Pepper Flash.


Dental implants Roseville are a great way to replace missing teeth with new technology. At the offices of Beatriz Galofre, DDS, we offer dental implants to patients who need them in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. If you are candidate for dental implants, we will begin the procedure with you and explain everything in detail before the actual process is done.
Ask about our specials that we carry as well. As of right now we are offering a cleaning, X-rays and exam for only $75. This is a great deal, and we believe that all patients should have access to Quality Dental Care in an affordable manner. It's important that all patients have good dental care to keep their teeth healthy and in working order for a long time. Besides dental implants Roseville, one of our other services include using the Epic laser treatment. This is a diode laser that is used for periodontal care. Periodontitis is prevalent in many Americans, and starts when bacteria gets trapped in between teeth and then underneath the gum line. The bacteria hides there and causes tooth tooth decay and periodontal issues. It can eventually cause infection, which requires a periodontal cleaning and gum maintenance so that gums can be restored to a healthier state.
The Epic laser treatment can be used to stop the progress of periodontal disease. It reduces the bacteria, and keeps it reduce for up to 6 weeks. Under the gums there are Deep Pockets, and if the bacteria gets in there it can be really hard to get it out with just brushing and flossing. Our laser can get inside the pocket and reduce the bacteria, improving circulation and reducing inflammation. So for the best in periodontal cleaning, dental implants Roseville, and more, call our offices today.


This condo purchase marks these clients 3rd deal with us in the past 8 years. We have sold two of their properties here in Seattle and this would be the first time we had the pleasure of helping them buy a condo!
They reached out when they were beginning to think it was time to own another in-city condo in Seattle. They often look at condos online and when one particular one caught their eye they reached out. We went straight there to check it out for them and took a video so they could get a better feel for it. They live in California so this purchase would be by video-only. We also took measurements of the space to determine what size furniture would fit. In the end this condo wasn't the one but by then they had the bug! Having owned in Site 17 before, when the saw a top floor remodeled unit come on, they immediately knew they wanted it. The purchase was moving along smoothly until a Bankruptcy showed up on the Title that had not been disclosed. We worked closely with the Seller's agent to navigate through this hurdle and in the end they were still able to purchase this fabulous unit with no additional costs to them.
Welcome back to Seattle as your second home Chris and Candi!

In Governor's Race, YouTube Elects for Censorship
Tony Perkins
YouTube is actively preventing Pennsylvania voters from casting informed ballots in the upcoming primary election. That's the only conclusion to draw from YouTube's decision over the weekend to remove a candidate forum hosted by the Pennsylvania Family Institute (PFI). "YouTube offered no specifics of what is alleged to be in violation, beyond indicating that it had to do with content related to the 2020 Presidential election," said PFI President Michael Geer. "That election was not mentioned in our questions, and we can only conclude that the YouTube censors did not like the answers given by one or more of the candidates."
Candidate forums play a critical role in our political process by providing candidates with equal and comparable platforms to make their cases to the electorate. They serve to inform voters and illustrate contrasts between candidates which can aid voters in choosing who to vote for. Candidate forums serve no purpose unless they expose viewers to opinions that contrast, even opinions that are wrong, on the issues that matter most.
Fortunately, the forum was also broadcast on radio, and the audio file has not been censored. Candidates were asked, "with reason-free mail-in ballots and a very active Pennsylvania Supreme Court, what would you do as governor to fix or restore election integrity and the confidence of Pennsylvania voters?" Moderators explained that they included a question on election integrity because radio listeners indicated the topic was one of pressing interest.
The irony of YouTube censoring this discussion is that it has committed the error they claim to oppose—threatening our election-based system of government. Most conservatives (with a few, notable exceptions) understand that the 2020 election is not the hill to die on. Whatever controversy remains or whatever illegalities were perpetrated, it's too late now to go back and undo the 2020 election. But we can and we must work to ensure the integrity of future elections. Now, in the name of not reliving the 2020 election, YouTube is interfering with the 2022 election by blocking voters from informing themselves on where the candidates stand on the issues that matter to them.
Even from YouTube's perspective, censoring a candidate forum discussing election integrity is counter-productive. Let's briefly assume, for the sake of argument, that one or more of the seven GOP gubernatorial candidates who participated in the forum did advance wild and unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Their irrational position would then be seen for what it is, compared with the reasonable positions of the other candidates. Additionally, voters would be given the chance to reject the crazy positions in favor of more grounded candidates. But, due to YouTube's decision to censor the forum altogether, many voters are left in the dark, unaware of whether the candidates they might vote for hold reasonable or unreasonable positions on election integrity. YouTube's censorship of issues of controversy such as election integrity only fuels conspiracy theories and general distrust.
YouTube censors have always practiced viewpoint discrimination (certain viewpoints are accepted, while others are forbidden), but now they are attempting to dictate which policy issues gubernatorial candidates are allowed to discuss. A candidate forum posted only the day before PFI's forum remains available to watch, because it discussed business, not election integrity. Campaigns often live or die based upon their ability to promote the winning issues. If YouTube can control which topics candidates are allowed to discuss, they can control elections.
While the Left virtue signals about preserving "democracy" in Ukraine, they're pummeling it here at home. YouTube's censorship is "a blatant assault on free speech," Geer warned. "It hinders the process of democracy, shuts down the free marketplace of ideas, and ironically, further erodes confidence in our elections."

China July 2016: Focus on the All-new models
* See the July 2016 Top 393 All China-made models and Top 70 brands here *
With new car sales up a whopping 26% year-on-year in July, the Chinese market welcomes a boasting 8 all-new China-made models this month – 5 of which being Chinese SUVs and thus right on-trend – compared to just two in June but 9 in May. As is the tradition each month, BSCB puts a laser focus on these new entries to keep you up-to-the-minute about the largest car market in the world. The July 2016 class of all-new nameplates is a particularly momentous one as we welcome one marque reborn from the 1960s and one new Chinese marque instantly featuring three all-new nameplates…
Old and new Borgward logo
1. Borgward BX7 (#118 – 4.079 sales)
The most popular newcomer this month has a definite German accent to it, but the renaissance of the Borgward marque 55 years after it last made cars is anything but, rather funded and 100% owned by Foton Motor, property of the BAIC Group. As I described in our annual ranking of the most impressive Chinese carmakers at the Beijing Auto Show where Borgward placed at a stunning #3, Foton did a stellar job at reviving the once legendary marque. Its marketing efforts at the Show focused on its heritage, playing up the "Since 1919″ slogan despite the half-century production interruption and enumerating the brand's achievements at the peak of its glory in the fifties: "A direct competitor to Mercedes", "One of Germany's Top 4 Carmakers" (along with Volkswagen, Opel and Mercedes), "The most complete product lineup of the time" and "Cumulative sales of 1 million units".
Last September, I cringed at how much of a faux pas it was to relaunch the brand at the Frankfurt Auto Show, especially with a misleading "accessible premium" positioning. I stand by it, it was a mistake. But if the only objective was to get press in China and make the brand look more premium here – like anything European it seems – then it may have been a good idea. The BX7 is now in market almost a year after its German unveiling, and Borgward has made sure to feature numerous test-drives in Germany (such as the one pictured above) to prolong the illusion – as not a single Borgward will be manufactured in Germany, something the brand's website conveniently bypasses. The Chinese name for Borgward (Baowo 宝沃) is a clever mix of BMW (Baoma 宝马) and Volvo (Woer'Wo 沃尔沃)… "Any similarities with existing marques would be purely coincidental" – not.
Borgward 230
As we saw in Beijing, the smaller BX5 and BX6TS are already on their way and will enlarge the brand's lineup in the coming months. For now, the BX7 is ideally sized for a Chinese car market hungrier than ever for compact Chinese SUVs, and a first appearance above 4.000 monthly sales is a very satisfying figure indeed for what is basically an unknown brand – beyond what BSCB would have originally set as a bar for success. Reported Chinese sales however tend to be wholesale deliveries to dealers, so we should wait a few months to really declare this launch successful – or not.
If BAIC's brands are still displayed in a joyous mess at every Auto Show (Senova, Huansu, Weiwang, Changhe, Foton, Gratour…), Borgward stands apart and it can only be beneficial for its sales performance. A much needed boost, as the BX7 is basically a rebadged BAIC: it is in fact the same vehicle as the BAIC Huansu S6, Weiwang S50 and Senova X65. The price is much higher though, from 169.800 to 242.800 yuan ($25.600-36.600) compared to the S6 (79.800-116.800), S50 (95.000-110.000) and X65 (106.800-156.800). All three nameplates have found their market, so chances are the BX7 will too but it might be tougher to convince Chinese buyers to fork out that much money for a rebadged BAIC.
Bar for success: 5.000 monthly sales
Cowin C3
2. Cowin X3 (#128 – 3.744 sales)
4. Cowin V3 (#212 – 1.296 sales)
5. Cowin C3 (#215 – 1.205 sales)
This month it's not just one but three new nameplates from Chery spinoff brand Cowin that enter the ranking. Cowin, formerly a Chery sub-brand, transitioned into full-blown marque in August 2014 and premiered at the Chengdu Auto Show in September of that year. Yet its first appearance at a major Chinese Auto Show was in Beijing last April, and a cascade of new, sharply designed and perfectly relevant nameplates meant it ranked #5 in our list of the most impressive Chinese carmakers at the Show. The Cowin brand, aimed at younger buyers living in second and third tier cities and purchasing their first vehicle, now makes its very first appearance in the Chinese sales charts.
Cowin X3
As we detailed in China 2016 Photo Report: The Chinese car dealerships of Xining, the Cowin C3 sedan and C3R hatchback have been on sale in China for almost a year, yet the nameplate only appears now in the ranking at #215 with 1.205 sales. Delayed reporting sometimes occurs in China when a new brand appears in market. The X3 5-seat SUV, unveiled in Beijing in April, is for its part all-new. It is based on the tried-and-tested Chery Tiggo 3 with an entirely new and very modern design. Despite being priced from 63.600 to 93.900 yuan (US$ 9.600-14.200), the X3 features a 10.1 inch touchscreen in the centre console, something that is sure to attract a younger clientele. It is logically priced at a 7.000 yuan ($1.000) premium over the ageing Tiggo 3 (56.900-86.900 yuan) and enters one of the most crowded segments in China. Available with a 1.6L petrol with 127hp mated with a five-speed manual or automatic, it will compete squarely with such blockbusters as the Baojun 560 (66.800-92.800), BAIC Senova X35 (65.200-88.200), Brilliance V3 (59.700-102.700), Changan CS35 (72.400-94.400), Dongfeng Fengguang AX7 (64.700-82.700) and Ford Ecosport (69.800-100.800).
Cowin V3
Unveiled like the V3 at the last Beijing Auto Show in April, the V3 has been categorised as a 7-seat SUV even though it is actually a rebaghed variant of the Karry K50 MPV. Powered by the same engine as the X3, the V3 is competitively priced between 60.800 and 77.800 yuan (US$9.200-11.700). It's a clear premium over the Karry K50S, the SUV-esque variant of the K50 (50.800-68.800) but its SUV categorisation places the V3 as one of the cheapest 7-seaters in market, competing with the Changan CX70 (64.400-80.400) and Lifan Myway (55.700-76.800). Over in the MPV aisle, the X3 competes with the tremendously successful – but lately struggling – Baojun 730 (59.800-82.800). Chery/Cowin have played all the right cards to be successful here too with the V3. In this context, regular stints at 5.000 monthly sales would mean success for either the V3 or the X3, but these two could go much higher with their cutthroat pricing and attractive design.
Bar for success: C3: 3.000 monthly sales, X3 and V3: 5.000 monthly sales.
3. Roewe RX5 (#190 – 1.620 sales)
Also unveiled at this year's Beijing Auto Show, the RX5 is a much-anticipated and very sleek addition to the Roewe lineup, the Chinese version of the defunct Rover marque, now owned the SAIC Group. Dubbed by the brand as "the world's first mass-produced super internet SUV", the RX5 is the first model equipped with the Yun OS software jointly developed with Chinese tech Alibaba, the Chinese Amazon. Roewe wants to attract a younger audience with the RX5, targetting the 26-35 year-old age bracket which has traditionally been the territory of SAIC's other main brand, MG. The RX5 is indeed based on the same platform as the MG GS but priced higher at 97.800-177.800 yuan (US$14.750-26.800) vs. 84.700-153.700 for the MG GS.
This way, the RX5 competes with the entry-premium Chinese SUVs, such as the hugely successful GAC Trumpchi GS4 (99.800-153.800), Haval H6 Coupe (118.300-159.800), Geely Boyue (98.800-157.900), Leopaard CS10 (96.300-146.400), Qoros 5 SUV (119.900-178.900) and even the Haval H7 (145.300-165.300). On the other hand, although pricey for a Chinese SUV, the 4.54m long RX5 remains a very good deal when compared to China-made foreign offerings which demand a similar price for a distinctly smaller car such as the 4.29m Honda Vezel (118.800-175.800 yuan), 4.29m Mitsubishi ASX (93.800-150.000), 4.27m Hyundai ix25 (95.800-168.000), 4.28m Buick Encore (99.700-164.900), 4.27m Kia KX3 (85.800-159.800) or 4.17m Suzuki Vitara (99.500-158.800).
Roewe RX5 interior
Sales-wise, the Roewe brand has recently been re-energised by the new 360 sedan that peaked at a cool 8.437 units last January, however still far from the brand's nameplate record of 15.883 sales hit by the 350 in December 2013. But Roewe has never been able to rely on solid SUV sales, with the antique W5, a rebadged Ssangyong Kyron, never taking off since its 2011 launch. In this context, the 1.620 sales delivered by the RX5 for its inaugural month are actually a good performance already: the W5 has not signed a four-digit month since April 2014 (1.121) and only beat the RX5 July figure once: in January 2014 when 2.014 units found a new home. But the RX5 can – and should – go much higher, potentially to 5-digit monthly sales. The MG GS's record is 6.741 back in December 2015, and a similar score hit regularly would already be a gage of success for the RX5.
6. Luxgen 3 Sedan (#362 – 47 sales)
Another nameplate unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show last April, the Luxgen 3 Sedan has already launched in Taiwan where it is currently knocking at the Top 20's door. Luxgen is a brand launched a few years back by the Taiwanese Yulong Group. The 3 Sedan is manufactured in China by the Dongfeng-Yulong joint-venture and is priced from 59.800 to 96.800 yuan (US$9.000-14.600), meaning it is entering arguably the most successful, crowded and competitive segment in the Chinese market. It will compete with the likes of the VW Jetta (5.08-10.04), Santana (5.19-9.88) Geely Emgrand EC7 5.70-8.73, Chagan Eado (starting at 56.900), Ford Escort (6.88-9.18) and Chery Arrizo 5 (5.59-9.49). Unfortunately, its dated Dongfeng 1.6L four-cylinder petrol 124hp engine, mated with a five-speed manual or CVT may make it a harder sell than it already is. Luxgen's success in China has so far relied on SUVs, with the 6 SUV hitting a record 7.647 sales in January 2015. The 5 Sedan, launched in April 2015, only posted a four-digit sales month once, in May 2015 (1.956) so the 3 Sedan can only hope for a small slice of the gargantuan Chinese compact sedan cake.
7. VW Phideon (#373 – 28 sales)
Unveiled to the world at the 2016 Geneva Auto Show last March even though this is a China-only nameplate, the Phideon is the new flagship VW sedan as the Phaeton production ended on the same month. It is manufactured at SAIC-Volkswagen's No.3 plant in Anting, Shanghai, on the MLB platform that has also given birth to the high-selling Audi A6L. The Phideon is 5.07m long and proposed with a choice of two engines, a 2.0TSI and a 3.0T V6, both paired to a 7DSG. The Phideon is a very interesting addition to the Volkswagen range that had lately focused its efforts on its most affordable offerings such as the Jetta, Santana and Bora in order to fend off more and more competitive Chinese carmakers.
The premium sedan segment is alive and well in China though, and definitely worth another look by Volkswagen. The BMW 5 Series is the best-seller so far in 2016 (81.799 units), followed closely by the Audi A6L (79.879). It's therefore a smart move from Volkswagen to try and upgrade its current Passat and Magotan customers (adding up to a whopping 182.171 units in the first seven months of 2016) towards a more affordable option than the Phaeton was (528.000 to 1.200.000 yuan or US$79.600-180.900). In comparison, the Phideon is priced at 359.000-670.000 yuan (US$54.100-101.000). That's significantly higher than the A6L (249.000-503.200) and roughly at the same level as the imported A7 (418.600-656.600), ensuring minimal A6L/Phideon cannibalisation. Faithful to its traditionally crystal-clear segmentation, Volkswagen has priced the Phideon entirely out of the Passat/Magotan range (133.800-304.600) with only the top-end imported Passat Variant (379.600 yuan) sliding in. Similarly, the VW CC (252.800-342.800) doesn't infringe on Phideon territory.
With a very clear positioning in the market and within the Volkswagen Group's stable, how far up can the Phideon go sales wise? This predictive exercise is actually a delicate task, because never before had the Volkswagen brand produced such an expensive nameplate in China. Its previous attempt as selling full-blown luxury has backfired, even in China, with the Phaeton only finding 1.581 customers in FY 2015 for its last full year in market. The success of the A6L can't be held as a benchmark as it comes on the back of a couple of decades of market integration. The Mercedes S-Class, more expensive (769.800-2.450.000 yuan) sold just under 27.000 units last year and the VW CC, currently the most expensive China-made VW, should reach the same level in 2016. The novelty effect should push the Phideon slightly higher on an annual basis.
8. Geely Vision SUV (#384 – 4 sales)
The most discreet all-new July nameplate in China is also the most intriguing. The Vision SUV, or Vision X6, is in fact a facelifted Geely GX7 with a new and very nice face to fit with Geely's current design standards. The Vision SUV makes it three new Geely SUV in the past few months alongside the Boyue and Emgrand GS. Although very late in catching up with the SUV madness, Geely has now hit the ground running. The Vision SUV is powered by a choice of 1.8 139hp engine with 5-speed manual and 1.3T 133hp engine with CVT. The price should stay around the same area as the GX7 (55.900-119.900 or US$8.400-18.100), meaning very competitive for a 4.60m-long SUV. The GX7 peaked at 7.675 sales back in January 2015, and we expect more from the Vision SUV.

Previous generation Chevrolet Cruze relaunched as Chevrolet Cavalier In China
http://gmauthority.com/blog/2016/09/chevrolet-cavalier-receives-a-price-tag-in-china/
BY SEAN SZYMKOWSKI — SEP 2, 2016
Chevrolet Cavalier China
http://gmauthority.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Chevrolet-Cavalier-China-720×340.jpeg
Chevrolet has introduced a familiar nameplate to Americans in the China. The brand took the wraps off the new-for-China Chevrolet Cavalier, and it has an official price tag.
The Cavalier will start at RMB 79,900, or $11,961 USD, and will climb up the trim hierarchy to top out at RMB 109,900, or $16,453 USD. Chevrolet states the Cavalier will be offered in five different variants falling between the two price points.
"The Cavalier is an exciting new nameplate for China," said SAIC-GM President Wang Yongqing. "It features advances in design, quality, technology and fuel efficiency to meet the demands of mainstream Chinese families."
The Chevrolet Cavalier is really the previous-generation Cruze Classic with a new face and name, but the move to this strategy will allow the all-new 2017 Chevrolet Cruze to move more upmarket.
The Cavalier will arrive with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with standard stop-start. The engine may be paired to a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Inside, the Cavalier won't skimp on content. A seven-inch touchscreen is present along with Bluetooth connectivity. It's also the only vehicle in its class to feature Baidu CarLife support.
The Cavalier will arrive at dealers across China in the coming months.

Shouldn't FCA be doing something similar with the Lancia badge? At the there is continuity of production…
Matt Gasnier says:
Hello Randg – do you mean selling other FCA models under the Lancia badge?
They tried (Lancia Voyager, Lancia Thema = Chrysler 300C…) but without much conviction a few years back.
Or do you mean launching the Lancia brand in China?
Paul B. says:
I think if they lack the conviction to put any serious effort into rebuilding the Lancia marque in Italy let alone China then they should let it go, as they've already irreparably diluted what's left of the name.

Cyclists are calling on Dublin city councillors to approve plans to construct a segregated cyclepath along the Liffey quays which was initially proposed more than five years ago.
The council's transportation department has presented eight different "preferred routes" for the 6km path from Heuston Station to the East Link bridge since 2012, but has yet to secure the sanction of councillors for any of the options.
Councillors last May delayed approving the scheme after the officials presented plans which they admitted were not the best solution for the route.
The previous October the transportation department had proposed facilitating the continuous cycle route by implementing a permanent ban on private cars and lorries from Ellis and Arran Quays, diverting traffic for 1.5km through the residential streets of Stoneybatter and Smithfield.
The diversion was necessary to get around a particularly narrow section of the quays between the James Joyce Bridge and the Four Courts.
However in May, the council's head of technical services Brendan O'Brien said although this was the "best solution" for the route, he did not propose pursuing it because it had met with considerable opposition from councillors, residents, schools and businesses.
Instead, he proposed keeping all traffic on the quays, with cyclists using a boardwalk over the river on Ellis and Arran Quay, which would add up to €3 million to the €20 million cost.
Buses and cars would share a lane for another short section with cars and buses having to "queue" at certain times. In parts, cyclists and pedestrians would share the same space.
This option would be "considerably more expensive" than the previous one, Mr O'Brien said and would also require an application to be made to An Bord Pleanála. Councillors asked to have further assessment conducted on the route.
The Dublin Cycling Campaign is calling on councillors to chose the previous option, which diverted cars from the quays, when the council's traffic committee meets later this month.
"The boardwalk option is likely to cause problems for cyclists crossing footpaths. The result will be that commuter cyclists will continue to use the road because it will be quicker, " campaign spokesman Kieran Ryan said.
Former Dublin hurler and footballer Conal Keaney, who owns Phoenix Park Bikes cycle hire shop, says tourists are afraid to cycle into the city centre because of the traffic on the quays.
A cycle to support the Liffey route will be held on Sunday, starting at the Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park at 11am.
The group will cycle down the quays to the Samuel Beckett Bridge and then along the North Circular Road as far as Phibsborough.
The cycle will end on Leinster Street where residents involved in the Phizzfest festival will host an on-street celebration.

Nigerian footballer Lawrence Ogbe hopes for change in fortune after huge Cyprus mistake
In search of greener pastures, the desperation to leave Nigeria at all cost has led many young footballers to undesired destinations and unpalatable situations abroad.
Lawrence Ogbe, 22, is a defensive midfielder who had endured the times and demands of playing in a non-FIFA accredited league after excelling in Magusa Turk Gucu U21 side. He was hoping to get a chance in Cypriot clubs such as Apoel Nicosia and the others he had watched play in UEFA competitions on TV while in Nigeria. Little did he know that the Republic of Cyprus was different from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
"I was actually hoping to see Apoel Nicosia and those other bigger Cypriot clubs that play in Europe, I never knew there was another part of Cyprus," Lawrence told PageOne.ng.
Northern Cyprus is recognized by Turkey while Southern Cyprus is officially recognized by Greece; ideas alien to young Lawrence.
"To get across the border, you need a visa to access that part of Cyprus, most people are not aware just like I was unaware when I left Nigeria."
Full of confidence, Lawrence set himself the goal of bagging a contract within a month after he arrived in Europe. "My mindset while coming here was focused on European Cyprus, and I said to myself that I would get a club in less than a month of my arrival.
"Immediately it dawned on me that I was not where I wanted to be, I called home and told my mum I wanted to return home. My mother encouraged me to focus on my studies and I summoned the courage to face it head-on"
Playing in the Nigerian Professional Football League, his country's top division never appealed to him due to his perception of the league, so his eyes were fixed on better climes.
"I told myself I won't play in the NPFL, my friends always argue with me because some of the players we grew up together were already in the league system. I told them it's my decision, and that's what I want for myself.
"I've always seen myself at a high level in the game of football. After my secondary school in Warri, I spoke with my parents about my football career, so we came up with getting admission, and then I can pursue my football. It was the best option I could come up with at the time since I did not want to wait for an agent. I got the opportunity and then I left.
"I got an admission into Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), and I started playing in the school team where I became popular in the entire Famagusta. I represented the Nigeran team in EMU Cup of Nations, and my goals earned me the highest scorer for my side. One of the coaches at Magusa saw me and spoke with the team to give me a trial at the club, and that was the beginning of my journey into professional football"
"After the trial, the club invited me back to start training with the team until the end of the season so I can join the squad for next season. My first season with the club I scored 22 goals with the U21, and we won the league for the first time in 8-10 years."
"I played with the U21 team for two seasons after which I was promoted to the senior squad. We won the Super League in my first year with the team in 2016. I was the youngest player at the time. I constantly made the Team of the Week, and it was published in the newspaper."
Lawrence has enjoyed more than seven years of experience in Northern Cyprus with Magusa but is currently out on loan at Genclik Gucu Turk Spor Kulubu.
Looking for the big break, Lawrence believes he has developed quite well, and that he is ready for the next phase of his career, possibly an actual "greener" pasture in Europe this time.
"If you are coming from an academy in Nigeria to play North Cyprus, you need to be extremely good. The demand for foreigners here is very high because you are expected to be better than what they have here which I think is fair enough. The clubs here like versatile players, your experience, where you have played, and all," he advises Nigerian youngsters.
"That is why you see most players who come here return to Nigeria. Either they didn't come in the proper way or through a good agent who can speak on their behalf.
"The challenge most of us have is that the League here is not recognized by FIFA, so you need to have a good agent who will help you get better opportunities."

Currently, under FRS17, organisations with USS liabilities that are unable to identify their share of a pension scheme's assets and liabilities are able to account for their liabilities on a defined contribution (DC) basis.
This means that these organisations may be recording a pension expense equal to the contributions which they are required to make to their schemes in their company accounts. As a result the pension scheme asset or liability does not appear on the organisation's balance sheet.
However, the introduction of FRS102 for accounting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015 will impact these organisations, and could require recognition of additional liabilities even if a DC accounting basis is used. Specifically, where a commitment has been made to a deficit recovery plan for a pension arrangement, a liability equal to the present value of those future deficit payments will need to be recognised on the balance sheet and any changes in this recovery plan following a valuation would need to be recognised as an additional pension expense (or credit).
We recommend these organisations start planning for any change as early as possible by speaking to their auditors and their pension advisers to understand the potential size of the additional liabilities.

The above illustration is one of two backgrounds Chris worked on for the forums, before being told that they couldn't be bike related. Whoops is right! There's a ton of detail in this drawing. Here's the full-resolution image. I spent a good amount of time looking at all the little product plugs and characters. Nice work Chris!

So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cause you got friends you can trust
Hold out your hand friends will be friends
Hold out your hand 'cause right till the end, friends will be friends
Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1971, originally consisting of the late Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works, incorporating more diverse and innovative styles in their music. more »

Bulb planting can be one of the most rewarding things a gardener can do. There's nothing quite like putting that bulb in the ground, and watching as it grows into the full plant it's meant to be. As long as some simple ground rules (pardon the pun) are followed, bulbs grow easily and are very rewarding.
Bulbs can be planted either in the fall or in the spring. Fall planting would be the preferred time to plant because that gives the flowers an opportunity to adjust to their surroundings, set their roots firmly, and bloom earlier in the spring. If you are going to be planting in the fall, anytime from about late September to early November is appropriate. Sometimes, circumstances lead us to not be able to plant until spring, or we would just rather wait. If that is the case, it is best to plant as soon as the ground thaws if you live in an area that freezes. If the ground does not freeze, anytime beginning in about mid-April through mid-May would be a good time. Your bulbs will bloom later than those planted in the fall, but they will still put on an impressive show. Planting in the fall does put the bulbs at an increased risk of being exposed to freezing temperatures because they will begin to grow earlier in the spring, but it is a risk that most gardeners are willing to take.
The majority of bulbs should be planted shallowly. There should be enough of a hole to cover them completely, but they do not need to go far down in the earth. However, there are some, like daffodils, that like to be planted a little deeper. Refer to the instructions on the bag or box for just how deep your bulbs should be planted. Be sure to follow those directions so that your flowers are not adversely affected by too deep or too shallow of a bed. Be sure to fertilize and water thoroughly as soon as the planting is completed. The bulbs will need those nutrients to help them root into their new home.
If the bulbs have been planted in the fall, as the winter months progress, they will remain dormant in the ground. Therefore, watering and fertilizing further will not be necessary until the ground begins to thaw in the spring. At that point, when the weather is dry for a few days and watering becomes necessary, do so with a garden hose for five minutes daily while the weather remains dry. Otherwise, it is safe to let nature take her course with these flowers while they are in bloom.
When blooming has completed, though it can be tempting to cut off those empty flower stalks, wait until they have become yellow and shriveled. The stalk is still taking in important nutrients to the bulb, which is now preparing for the next bloom season. If the stalk is cut off while it's still taking in nutrients, in the following season, the flower will not bloom as well or may not bloom at all. It is important to give those flowers the time they need to prepare for the next growing season.
