Fresh Flowers in All the Traditional Places

When you think of a beautiful floral arrangement, you often think of the dining room table, especially if it is holiday time. And why not? Beautiful dining centerpieces have graced our tables for centuries. Whether you are having a party, decorating for a holiday, or simply adding a beautiful touch, keep in mind that floral arrangements should complement the dcor and mood of the room. Remember, too, you dont have to have a traditional arrangement just because you find it in a traditional location. Instead of one big center arrangement, you may want to try a series of vases and candles on a fabric runner for a stunning effect.

Another traditional location for fresh flowers is in the foyer or entranceway. What a great way to make a terrific first impression. Regardless of your style, flowers in the entryway can create the mood from the moment someone walks through your door. Is your home formal? Try an elegant centerpiece or a piece of artwork on a pedestal draped with a garland and flowers. For a homier, friendlier look, place a basket with a garden bouquet on the entry table. No matter what your style, flowers can enhance your home.

Beyond Tradition

Lets not stop with tradition! Fresh flowers are so beautiful that they should not be relegated to the dining room and entryway alone. Why not brighten every room in your house? Lets look at a few ideas to help you think outside the box.

• Kitchen: Think beyond basil and oregano! Fill your kitchen window ledge with pots of herbs and sun-loving plants like kalanchoe, African violets, or primroses. A few well-placed gerbera daisies can help spice up your kitchen, too. The best part is that you can enjoy your mini-harvest every day.

• Bedroom: Add a touch of romance in your bedroom with a few beautiful stems that complement or accent the color of your linens or wallpaper. There is simply nothing like waking up to a delicate scent drifting from your nightstand. Tea roses, freesias, peonies, lilac and lilies, all have delicious fragrances.

• Guest Bedroom: Welcome your guest with a bright floral addition. Visitors feel extra special with a bright bunch of cut flowers sitting pretty on the guest room nightstand.

• Bathroom: Flowers in the bathroom? Why not! A simple plastic tumbler filled with fragrant blossoms makes an attractive air freshener. You can even add floating rose-petals in a bath to spoil a friend!

• Office: Any job is more enjoyable when the surroundings are cheerful and attractive, and what is more cheerful than cut flowers? Bring nature indoors and make yourself happier and healthier!

• Laundry Room: I can hear you now NOT the laundry room, too! Yes, even the laundry room can use a bit of sunshine. Rinse out an old bleach or detergent bottle, fill it with cut flowers and place it on your washing machine or shelf. It'll help lighten the load on washday!

• Staircase: Create a "stepped" effect with a series of flowers in interesting containers.

There is nothing wrong with tradition a big floral arrangement on the dining room table is always a welcomed addition to the dcor of the room. Fresh flowers, however, dont have to stay in the dining room. Be creative! Think unique! Put them in all your nooks and crannies! And yes, even put them in your bathroom!

You Dont Have to be a Floral Designer

Youve been to the florist before and know that you cant create the gorgeous centerpieces you find there, nor can you afford to buy them already made. Dont worry! Simply buy some fresh flowers, take them home, and experiment. Anything that can hold water is a possibility for a flower arrangement.

• Water Pitchers

• Urns

• Pots

• Vases

• Bowls

• Watering Cans

• Soda Bottles

• Mason Jars

• Champagne Bottles

• Mugs

• Even a Childs Plastic Cup

Once you have a few containers, the fun begins. Try filling a clear glass with flowers and fill with colored marbles. Create a cluster of different sized flower-filled bottles on a coffee table. Use bowls and shallow dishes for floating flower heads or petals and add floating candles for a bright and shining effect.

Mother Nature has created great beauty in flowers and you simply cant go wrong. Develop your own personal style and taste by experimenting with different colors and types of flowers. Each week try a different look, color, or kind of flower.

The complementary colors of flowers can brighten any part of the house, from the kitchen to the family room to the bedroom. Expand your ideas to different areas throughout your home. The important thing is to have fun and enjoy.

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband...for better and for worse...regardless of his credit scores?"

OK, so maybe that's not exactly how most marriage vows go. But, how important are your potential spouse's credit scores in the grand scheme of things?

The first thing you need to understand when you marry someone with a previous bankruptcy appearing on their credit reports is that their bankruptcy and other bad credit will never merge with yours.

So, don't panicyou won't wake up one day and find their bankruptcy appearing on your credit reports. Credit reporting just doesn't work that way. You are two separate individuals with unique Social Security numbers, credit reports and credit scores.

All three of the credit reporting agencies in the United States store credit files on individualsnot couples. Never the two shall meet...unless, of course, you have accounts that are in both of your names. In that case they WILL show up on both of your credit reports and they WILL affect both of your FICO credit scores.

When you're applying for credit with your spouse, you need to pay attention to a few key things:

1. What it means to become a co-borrower
2. How and when to apply for credit together (also known as "joint credit")
3. When it makes sense to add your spouse as an authorized user on one or more of your credit card accounts

Marriages...bankruptcies...and mortgages...

It's a mistake to assume too much when you apply for a mortgage or new car loan.

The most common assumption is that if a person with a bankruptcy is added to the loan application as a co-borrower, the credit will automatically be more expensive. It might be. But then again...it might not be.

The best way to tackle this situation is to know all of your options. You start by knowing how to structure the deal.

How do you do this?

Simple, each of you should fill out individual credit applications.

Now, the lender can review your credit scores and advise you if you're better off submitting an individual or joint credit application to the lender.

The mortgage or auto lender should compare all your options and advise you of the pros and cons accordingly. If they don't take time to compare...take it as a sign that they don't have your best interest at heart and get a second opinion.

If you do like what the lender has to saythen take his advice and do what he recommends.

However, if you don't like what the lender has to saythen you have two choices:

1. Wait six months and work hard to increase your credit scores...then re-apply.

2. Take what you can get, even if it's a high interest ratebut use this only as your very last resort. (If then.)

There were many times my wife and I wanted something...and could have gotten it immediately (but at a higher cost). Instead, we would always wait until we qualified for the lowest interest rates and best terms.

At times it hurt. And we had plenty of arguments about waiting. But in the end, we both agreed it was for the best. It's amazing how much money just one or two extra percentage points on your interest rate can add to the cost of something over time.

You can make a fortune in business without really trying, however, most people do nothing of the kind. Many more people try really hard and make little or nothing. Why does this happen. In many cases its because although they work hard, they fail to work smart. They expend far too much effort for meager returns. Perhaps this is you. Youve tried everything. Online business, offline business, eBay, you name it, youve tried it. Why has nothing worked?

It doesnt matter weather you are just beginning a home based business or have been running a business for years, there are certain things you must do in order to become successful. The first is planning. Its often been said that those that fail to plan, plan to fail. Do a business plan. A good business plan will cover all aspects of your business. It should include your service or product line, your marketing plan and a timeline for the future. You should have a good financial plan as well. Where will your revenue come from? Where will it go?

Do you need capital to begin or expand your business? If you plan on seeking financing, either from conventional sources, such as banks, or other sources such as private investors, they will want to see how you plan to spend their money. This will help them evaluate your chances of success. After all, your ability to repay the loan or increase the value of their shares depends upon how you will be using their money.

A business plan will also enable you to plan for contingencies so you can effectively deal with them. The more you can plan for risk, the better you will be able to mitigate them. You dont want to be waylaid by something unexpected that could cost you dearly. Youll never be able to anticipate all business problems, but you can plan for as many as possible.

The next thing you need to do is execute your plan effectively. Many great plans, in business, sports and war have been undone by poor execution. Youll probably need to make changes to your business plan due to unforeseen circumstances or opportunities. These are similar to the halftime adjustments made by a football coach. Its often the coach or business owner who makes better adjustments that is the most successful.

The third thing you must do is test everything. You should test your marketing and advertising to determine what gives you the best R.O.I. If you are doing pay per click advertising or other online advertising, you have an advantage in that you can very quickly see the results of any changes you make. Youll probably see big differences from small changes. For example, headlines can often give very different results from just one or two word differences. The only way youll know is through rigorous testing. Test different product mixes to see what sells the best to your market. Do lots of research and find a good niche to market to and then test, test, test.

These three things, planning, execution, and thorough testing combined with the resultant changes, can make you a fortune in your business. Failure to do any of these things properly can limit your profit and chances for ultimate success.

Commercial real estate, private money loans also know as hard money and or bridge loans are becoming more prevalent as borrowers enjoy less red tape, quicker closings and more common sense underwriting than conventional financing provides. Typically though, borrowers still relay on this type of financing as an option when conventional sources are not available.

The increased speed and flexible underwriting comes at a steep price with interest only rates often in the teens, 3- 6 points being the norm and loan terms being relatively short at 12 36 months.

Why would owners pay such high fees/rates? In short, because it makes sense for them based on their current situation. Below are examples of transactions where it made sense for our borrowers or go the hard money route.

Grand Rapids. Small office building that was previously used as the owners business headquarters. The owner wanted to move his business out and convert the property into a multi-tenant building (investment property). To accomplish this he needed to create common areas, alter the entrance and add an elevator to the property. He needed a substantial amount of cash to make these improvements happen.

The problem was four fold: Personal credit was in the 400s, the owner had virtually no liquidity, the owner had no development experience and the year to date, profit & loss and balance sheet showed that his business was losing money. These issues eliminated any type of conventional financing.

The owner knew that the property would be a cash cow, and drastically improve his overall financial position, if he could get the money needed to complete the project. For the lender the deal made sense as well, due primarily to the low loan to value (High equity).

In addition, the exit strategy was simple, after the building was renovated and leased out, the property would stand on its own and qualify for conventional finance base off the new cash flow.

Metro Detroit. Local business that owned six retail buildings and had its loan called (forced balloon) prematurely by its bank. The loan was called primarily because the business had lost money for three years in a row. The bank was nervous the borrower would go out of business. The business was forced to seek alternative financing.

Besides the above, multiple conflicting partners further complicated the matter and made conventional financing that much more difficult to obtain.

However, the properties where in solid condition and had much equity. The borrowers where able to leverage the equity and refinance their existing mortgage and roll in other business debt into the private money loan.

The result was increased cash flow enabling the business to regain profitability even though their rate was much higher than the previous mortgage.

Cleveland. A real estate investor was in the process of purchasing a 40,000 square foot mixed use building. The seller became frustrated and began to doubt the buyers ability to purchase the building as the conventional lender became cautious and dragged the process out. To the buyers shock, the lender pulled out, two weeks before the scheduled close.

The primary issue for the conventional lender was that although the current net operating income could support the proposed loan, the historical (average of the last 3 years) net operating income could not meet the traditional banks Debt Coverage Ratios.

The buyer, fearing that he would lose the property and money he had already put into the deal, used private money to meet the closing schedule. The exit strategy to pay off the private money loan was to simply continue to document the current net operating income and refinance the debt into a conventional loan one year out.

These are typically private money scenarios, others include foreclosures, distressed properties, recent bankruptcies, lack of existing cash flow, partnership buy outs, land contract refinances, need for speed,etc.

Common positive traits that make the loans financeable include loan to values less than 60% and clear exit strategies on how the borrower is going to pay back the private money lender.

Yes, hard money is expensive, but can be a viable option given the right (Or wrong) set of circumstances.

An effective strategy is to back all the top 30 teams, i.e. those in the Premiership and top 10 of the Championship, against sides from outside the top 30. This obvious approach of backing the stronger teams in the country against weaker opponents has produced a win rate in excess of 70%.

This equates to odds of approximately 2/5 and there is added value in this strategy if that average is exceeded by the coupon odds on all the top 30 teams with a home tie against opposition from outside the top 30.

In the Cup, many of the big teams are offered at much shorter odds than 2/5, so this is a high staking strategy which will appeal to the "big hitters" more than the average punter, but it is a strategy that works.

In the 2003/04 season, the top 30 sides had a total of 15 home matches against teams from outside the top 30 during the FA Cup. They were as follows:

Third Round
Millwall @ 1.91 vs Walsall. Result: 2-1
Portsmouth @ 1.32 vs Blackpool. Result: 2-1
Tottenham Hotspur @ 1.51 vs Crystal Palace. Result: 3-0
Sunderland @ 1.42 vs Hartlepool. Result: 1-0
Middlesbrough @ 1.23 vs Notts County. Result: 2-0
Ipswich @ 1.56 vs Derby County. Result: 3-0
Fulham @ 1.15 vs Cheltenham. Result: 2-1

Replays:
Bolton @ 1.36 vs Tranmere. Result: 1-2 AET
Wolves @ 1.23 vs Kidderminster. Result: 2-0
Chelsea @ 1.15 vs Watford. Result: 4-0

Fourth Round
Portsmouth @ 1.23 vs Scunthorpe. Result: 2-1
Birmingham @ 1.33 vs Milton Keynes. Result: 1-0

Fifth Round
Millwall @ 1.79 vs Burnley. Result: 1-0
Sheffield Utd @ 1.41 vs Colchester. Result: 1-0

Quarter Final
Millwall @ 1.56 vs Tranmere. Result: 0-0

As you can see, 13 of the 15 matches produced wins for the higher positioned teams with two matches ending as a draw after 90 minutes. Using the above odds as a guide and 10 level stakes, a profit of 32.40 would have been achieved using this strategy.

The figures suggest the gap between the top 30 and the rest is widening and if you don't mind backing teams at short prices, then this strategy could prove profitable for the third round this season where 10 matches have been identified as follows:

Fulham @ 1.28 vs Leyton Orient
Sunderland @ 1.28 vs Northwich
Blackburn @ 1.44 vs QPR
Chelsea @ 1.05 vs Huddersfield
Manchester City @ 1.20 vs Scunthorpe
Newcastle @ 1.12 vs Mansfield
Preston @ 1.57 vs Crewe
Sheff Utd @ 1.44 vs Colchester
Stoke @ 1.30 vs Tamworth
Wolves @ 1.72 vs Plymouth

Another way to look at this is it is rarely worth opposing the top 30 teams at home if you are looking for "shock results", as even the chances of a draw are quite slim.
