Sponsor opts for spot behind t

Jay Bailey went from spectator to driver in one Saturday night of watching dirt track racing.

"I sponsored a race car (for Modified driver Ryan Phillips) and Memorial Day weekend (in 2007) I went and watched the races," Bailey recalled. "(Phillips) came over afterwards and said, "What did you cheap handbags think about the races?' I said, "You better get ready." He said, "For what," and I said, "I'm buying a race car."

"That Wednesday we were in Plattsmouth, Neb. picking up a turn key Hobby Stock and I started racing the next Saturday."

Bailey said the one visit to watch Phillips convinced him he needed to be on the track.

"I was in the pits and I was listening to everybody and I was watching everybody and I go, "There ain't nothing to this,' " said Bailey, who operates Bailey and Sons Motor Company in Lyndon. "Well, there turned out to be a little more to it after I cheap handbags got into it."

The fact that Bailey experienced almost immediate success boosted his desire to race.

Bailey won a track title in Street Stock at Whiskey Lake Raceway in 2008 while finishing fifth at Heartland Park. Bailey was second at HPT in B Mods in 2009 and is in the thick of the race for the track championship this season, sitting third in the standings and just 20 points out of first.

"The best thing is we're all pretty good friends," Bailey said of this year's points battle. "We have our clashes -- don't get me wrong -- but for the most part we all pretty much get along with each other.

"It's one of those deals that if something breaks and you need a handbag purse part and another guy has the part that will get you back on the track they're going to give you the part. Nobody wants to win a race because somebody else broke. That's not winning. To win the race you need to go out and have everybody racing."

Bailey said racing also has become a family affair.

"My wife and kids enjoy it," he said. "They go every week and that's what makes it more handbag purse fun. I've got a 7-year-old, a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old, and they can sit at the house and recite every driver that's in every class."

Making a name

Nineteen-year-old Wamego Super Pro driver Todd Piper gives his father, veteran drag racer Larry Piper, a ton of credit when it comes to his racing success.

But ironically, dad was several hundred miles away when Todd posted a recent win, during the Super Chevy Show at Heartland Park.

"He was in Denver racing a (Division V) event so I raced by myself and that's the first time I had done that," Todd Piper said.

But while the weekend turned out well, he'd rather have his father around to provide support and guidance.

"Definitely he helps," Piper said. "He's where I've learned everything from."

Todd Piper, currently the Super Pro points leader in Heartland Park's E.T. Bracket Racing Series, is a graduate of the Junior Dragster ranks.

"It started when I was 10," he said. "We borrowed a Junior Dragster and went out to Manhattan and raced. It was the first time I had raced and I actually won that race, so that was kind of cool.

Spoilt for choice, aren't we

I am not sure if I want so many choices. I look into a coffee menu and find it decimated to caf锟?au lait, caf锟?Americano, espresso granita, Lattecino to a zillion other options besides. If I decide to buy a dozen eggs, I have to choose between diet friendly, heart friendly, vitaminised, organic or regular. As for breakfast cereal, it might take me a day to wade through the 50 odd choices available.

It doesn't stop at food and beverages. If I were to buy a designer handbags pair of jeans, I am blocked by all kinds of specifications; will it be slim fit, relaxed, easy fit, extra baggy, stone washed, faded or distressed? If I slip into a supermarket to buy a tub of lotion, I find that I have to choose from bottles that promise soothing, cooling, anti-ageing, exfoliating or healing properties.

Studies show that people make over 200 food decisions a day, many on autopilot. designer handbags As for other decisions, there's perhaps one for every waking hour.

mont blanc pen

Many of my Bangalore friends are busy making important decisions at this time of the year. mont blanc pen Some are choosing between the warmest woollies as they pack their children off to foreign universities, some are deciding whether to go to Goa for a rain swept beach holiday or settle for a staycation (holiday at home) to save money. Some are wondering what should excite them next, post World Cup.

Younger people in the city, however, are busy planning their future. They are wondering which subjects to study, which career path to take and which colleges mont blanc pen to head for.

As I ponder over the subject of choices, I remember reading about a study that shows how the brain can get overwhelmed by choices. A now well-known experiment was done in a grocery store by a famous professor of business management, where two tables were set up with 24 and 6 types of jam respectively. More people stopped at the counter with several jam bottles but only 3% Coach handbags of them actually bought a jar, whereas 30% of buyers made a purchase at the other table.

This goes to show that having many choices may not make things easier. It's always good to narrow down your choices, but when it comes to making life changing decisions, it is good to consider every option very carefully.

Coach handbags

As one life coach puts it, "Sometimes it might be best to do the Coach handbags hardest thing, if it means that it will take you closer to a meaningful goal and if you are sure you can see it through." For instance, if you are trying to make a career choice, you should consider your talent and your dreams, but it is also important to see where each career path will take you in the future. You also need to figure out if you are willing to put in the kind of commitment and hard work that will be required to be successful.

Fonterra farmers vote in favou

FONTERRA farmers have voted overwhelmingly in favour of being allowed to trade shares among themselves, a move that should strengthen the co-operative's capital base and lead to further growth.

About 79 per cent of shareholders voted, with 89.85 per cent supporting a resolution that allows the board to develop the finer details of a share trading proposal.

About hygetropin 85 of the estimated 300 Southland shareholders attended a meeting in Invercargill yesterday, one of seven linked together throughout hygetropin the country by satellite. It is understood voting levels and support in the province mirrored national figures.

Trading among farmers, where they buy and sell shares from each other through a market rather than the co-operative, would remove redemption risk - the need for Fonterra to pay those farmers leaving or reducing milk supply.

Fonterra lost $600m of equity in the 2007-08 season shanghai escort when a drought forced many farmers to sell back shares to Fonterra after their production fell.

Farmers have to buy share to match their milk supply and sell them if supply drops.

The vote is a critical move for the dairy giant - Fonterra will not have to keep capital available in case it has to pay out the redemptions, freeing it up to invest in the business and generate long-term growth.

shanghai escort Fonterra chairman Sir shanghai escort Henry van der Heyden said the decision was a defining moment for Fonterra because it removed the pressure on its balance sheet from redemption risk.

"With the current capital structure, Fonterra's balance sheet would come under 微型气泵 acute pressure," he said.

The support for change showed a clear awareness and understanding among farmers of the need to evolve and further strengthen its capital structure, he said.

Fonterra chief executive Andrew Ferrier told The Southland Times the yes decision was "huge" for the co- operative.

"It gives us a strong mandate to fix 微型气泵 our capital structure once and for all.

微型气泵

"It's enormous the difference between a business that always has to look in its rearview mirror knowing it might have to pay a bunch of its equity capital back to its owners, which is what we have now, to knowing you can bank on keeping that equity capital to strengthen the business and increase your competitive advantage."

He expected it would take 12 to 18 months to flesh out the proposal, which would need to be approved by the board and the shareholders council.

Fonterra shares switch ups the

FONTERRA'S MOVES towards tradeable shares will shift risk off the giant co-operative's books, but could make it harder for farmers to borrow as banks scrutinise the kinds of security Mother of the Bride Dresses they can offer.

Mother of the Bride Dresses

According to consultant James Morrison, Fonterra's share changes, given the nod by farmers around the country in July, are effectively a debt for equity swap. This was done to protect the co-op from redemption risk - the risk that when farm production goes down or farmers leave the co-op that Fonterra has to buy out all or a portion of their shares - and broader farm debt, he said.

Morrison argues that co-operatives are essentially vertically integrated, so when members have debt, co-ops have debt. "Fonterra chose to do it by moving away from the co-op model and that will flow into the banking sector," Morrison said. That means farmers who have been able to borrow using their existing co-op shares as security may find that more difficult in future, he said.

"For any new [farm] conversions, I think banks will apply different rules. I don't know whether banks have thought about it. It's a work in progress."

Mother of the Bride Dresses

Keith Woodford, a professor of farm management and agribusiness at Lincoln University, agrees Fonterra is transferring some of its risk from the co-op's balance sheet to farmers. "Fonterra is working through the issues with caution, but there's no doubt that it does transfer risk," said Woodford.

"You can't get away from that."

However, Fonterra, while conceding that there is such a risk transfer, argues that its members are part of the co- operative. The changes have reduced the overall risk farmers face as members.

CFO Jonathan Mason said farmers who stay wholesale Juicy Couture in a co-op can end up subsidising farmers who leave. The new share structure, he said, delivers a reduction of risk for members from the farm gate and through the distribution chain that they own as members.

wholesale Juicy Couture

"There's an improvement of risk overall," he said. Mason said bankers see the new structure as reducing risk by broadening wholesale Juicy Couture the funding options available to farmers.

Tony Arthur, BNZ's head of agribusiness, said shares are factored into the security on farm loans on the basis of face value and any economic income derived from the shares. He said Fonterra is working with banks to ensure the shift to tradeable shares is transparent.

"We are talking openly about what effect the sale of any economic right has on security," he said. "As long as the security is in good shape there's no concern, but if a business comes under pressure we need to look at it closely to ensure security is there."

contemporary furniture

With dairy prices falling over the last four months and with some farms still contemporary furniture carrying high levels of debt, it seems inevitable that some will be coming under pressure. Morrison said farmers had benefited with high dairy prices over the last couple of years, but this was more serendipity than the result of careful management.

Farmers get in trouble usually when a number of factors impact on farm performance, Woodford said. This can be when high levels of debt collide with a drought or a wet season to reduce production

The Cornish Diet is an initiative produced by Transition North Cornwall, a not-forprofit company which is part of The Transition Network which aims to inspire, encourage and support communities as they deal with climate change and work on local projects to tackle the bigger issue.

Users can further develop the directory by leaving comments on their experiences with each food producer.

Paul Sousek, of Transition North Cornwall, said: "Buying local food directly from our local shops and producers is a very effective way of supporting the local economy, safeguarding and creating jobs, and, indirectly, supporting your neighbours and fellow residents of North Cornwall.

"Shopping replica gucci at supermarkets does the exact opposite. It reduces producers' incomes, deskilling local jobs and exports our jobs and wealth away from the locality to finance the high cost transport, headquarters and the supermarket profits."

He replica gucci explained: "Even if you buy the few local products available at supermarkets, even then the local economy loses out.

"Producers' prices are depressed by the dominant supermarkets thus reducing their ability to invest and create jobs. Goods are moved all over the country due to their centralised warehousing policies, thus greatly increasing food miles and carbon pollution."

Mr Sousek added: "We all need to buy some products from supermarkets occasionally, but local food such as meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, some fruit, bread, cakes, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink are all available right here and we owe it to ourselves to take advantage of that and help build Little black dresses our community at the same time.

"Most people know a few local producers and shops selling local food, but not many of us are aware of over 70 such establishments currently listed Little black dresses in the directory."
