Antigravity Yoga Party at Crunch Fitness
2009-06-24 08:41:00 For my birthday, I like to celebrate in a fun and healthy way; no bottle service at a club or gorging at a restaurant. Two years ago it was an epic game of laser tag, last year I got together with some girlfriends for a hoopjam in the park and this year, it was antigravity yoga. Everyone listens intently as our instructor, Prima, explains how the "wings" work.Part yoga and part aerial performance, antigravity yoga made it's way to Crunch Fitness Chicago over the fall. I'm a member at Crunch, so I've been talking about this class since it started. Most of my friends were interested, but because I can only bring in a guest a month, it was...

What China's Credit Crunch Means For YOU.
2009-04-14 06:33:00 The Financial Times just did a story, entitled, Fears rise on China groups’ payments on how private Chinese companies are being negatively impacted by the credit crunch (h/t to China Economics Blog). China's credit crunch is already having a large impact on American and European companies that do business with China and I see that impact only growing. The FT story makes the following key points: -- A rapid deterioration in the ability of Chinese companies to pay their suppliers "is significantly increasing the risk of doing business in China." -- Chinese companies are facing "a liquidity crunch" due to China’s plummeting exports. "Many of them were also unable to access bank loans to tide them over the tough times, especially if they were small to medium-sized private businesses." -- Though Chinese banks have "ample liquidity," they usually do not lend to small private companies. -- Many Chinese companies have turned to their suppliers for credit, "thus forcing the ...

The Credit Crunch
2009-03-29 17:17:00 A Korean church asked me to preach on this.Ex. 20:1 And God spoke all these words: 2 ?I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 ?You shall have no other gods before me. Ex. 20:1 And God spoke all these words: 2 ?I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 ?You shall have no other gods before me.God was Israel?s saviour who had brought them out of Egypt. Would they now trust in Him to keep them, to provide for them? He is the Lord. He is their covenant God. Will they trust him? Sadly they often trusted in idols, false gods who were no gods but because they were the gods of powerful nations around them, God?s people were often led astray. Only exile cured them.Every one of us is, even from his mother's womb, a master craftsman of idols.

Tuesdays with Dorie: Caramel Crunch Bars
2009-02-25 10:40:00 This week's recipe on page 112-113 from Baking: From my home to yours: Caramel Crunch Bars has been chosen by Whitney of What’s left on the table. I served these small, rich but scrumptious treats at work. They were nearly gone, when I went home at noon. I couldn't find Heath Toffee Bits here in Northern Germany, so I used cow candies. It's obvious why they are called cow candies, the official name is Sahne Muh Muhs, in English Cream Moo Moos. I cut them into little pieces. Thanks to Nancy, who helped me to find out that 3/4 cup of toffee bits weighs about 180 grams. I also thank all the other members of the Tuesdays with Dorie group for their help and advice.

Some thoughts on the "Credit Crunch"
2008-12-04 10:31:00 Recession and the credit CrunchI have been trying to spin out technology from a govt. incubator in the N.E. of England, this has been a long and convoluted track, one which is precariously coming to a major nexus. The track has seen the business model morph from a major project , with debt finance in the teens of millions and matched equity financing , to the bare bones of a model which was built on a deck of cards that are crumbling away quickly. I am sure many of my readers have been there before, where a solid plan on the exterior is actually a convoluted network of supporting items and actions, if you miss or loose a couple of them the whole becomes very unstable( or role is to makes sure we have spare aces up our sleeves). This is normal for a start up but adding on top off that the financial institutions issues with the credit collapse, it makes it nearly impossible to raise debt financing , and the terms from your VC in general is like day light robbery, but what is a guy to ...

Beat the college loan crunch
2008-07-08 14:34:00 (Money Magazine) -- For families with children heading off to college, this has been the year from hell. First, a record number of applicants made 2008 the most competitive year ever for college admissions. Then the credit crunch hit the college market in a big way, igniting fears of a drought in financing for all students this fall.Spurred by dwindling demand for packaged loans from investors and cuts on federal subsidies, more than 100 lenders in the government college loan program have pulled out of the market. Private lenders are leaving the college market too - 27 so far. Those who remain are making it tougher to qualify for loans, while jacking up rates and reducing discounts.The result: If you're counting on a loan to pay tuition bills this fall, you're probably anxiously holding your breath, waiting to see if you'll be able to borrow what you need at a rate you can afford.Is it harder to get a student loan? Tell us.Well, Mom and Dad, you can officially exhale now. You'll...

Percival Return Will Cause Roster Crunch
2008-06-09 10:03:00 MLB.com's Bill Chastain writes of an impending Rays roster crunch. Closer Troy Percival can come off the DL Friday. Percival's replacement, Grant Balfour, doesn't deserve a demotion. He's out of options, and the Rays would have to sneak him through waivers to get him back to Triple A. Balfour did clear waivers in April. Given his situation and success this year, perhaps we can add Balfour to our Reliever Market list. The Rays acquired Balfour from the Brewers for Seth McClung last July. He's endured all kinds of injury problems but seems on track in '08. DRays Bay suggests keeping Balfour and either cutting Gary Glover or trading Jason Hammel.

Dubai unaffected by credit crunch
2008-06-05 02:00:00 Overseas property investors could collect strong returns in Dubai, an expert has advised. According to Ahmed Jamal of Emerging Markets Property Advisors, the emirate is one of the best investment markets in the world. This was said to be because it has a very strong rental market, which means investors can enjoy high occupancy rates and healthy rental yields. Mr Jamal added that many other popular property hotspots have been negatively affected by the credit crunch. However, he stated that the problems in the worldwide economy have not extended as far as Dubai. "People are talking about a global property crisis but the terminology is incorrect," he commented. "There is a crisis in the US and parts of Europe but other places are doing well." This comes after Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing revealed that about seven million people booked accommodation in the region during 2007.

O.C. monthly home sales crack 2,000 for 1st time since credit crunch
2008-05-19 17:47:00 The spring surge in sales continued to erase the impact of the last summer’s credit crunch in the Orange County housing market, DataQuick Information Systems reported today. Sales totaled 2,166 in April, the first time sales were above 2,000 homes a month since the market-thrashing liquidity crisis — caused by investors shunning mortgage securities sold on Wall Street, thus drying up home-loan funding. Homebuying in April, by DataQuick’s math, hit its 31st consecutive month where sales failed to beat the year-ago level. History shows us that last month’s buying was 19% below a year ago and 46% below the average April since 1988. Year-to-date, O.C. homebuying is -57% vs. the 20-year average actvity. Here’s a look at O.C. homebuying, since ‘88, showing monthly sales totals for 2007 and 2008 so far and how they compare to the 20-year monthly average for that month … Month ‘88-’07 avg. 2007 2008 ‘08 vs. avg.
