Nobody is attracted to someone who complains. You can approach the marketing for your band. If you are putting an advertisement for a new band member, don t fill it with what you are NOT looking for. Instead, you should simply put what you are looking for in a band member. Instead of saying Looking for a guitarist. No druggies, ego maniacs, no alcoholics, with no transporation. Why not spin this into, Looking for a reliable sober guitarist who is a team player.

Jim Talerico, Principal at Alternative Capital Management Resources, Inc. joined us on this episode of Small Business Trends radio to offer tips on how to make your business more attractive to Angel investors to get the investment of capital you need. As Jim points out, times of tight credit and slow markets are when investors may be turning to private investments for a higher return, instead of turning to the public markets. You want to make sure your business is the one that the Angel investor invests in. And one crucial area to focus on to ensure your success is the area of presentation - a power presentation to be exact. Jim suggests following the 10, 20, 30 rule. No more than 10 slides, 20 minutes of presentation and a 30 point font. Jim has outlined the following as key elements of your 10 slide presentation to a potential Angel investor: Define the market need and your business model. It should illustrate the problem the idea solves and how to make money from it. This is where you capture the Angel s attention. Highlight the management team by introducing directors, key employees and advisors. Personalize what makes you unique in the market. Provide an overview of the industry and the market. Include projected growth rates, the size of your target market, expected market penetrations, etc. Introduce product and service offerings and validate their effectiveness, the market solution and the customers acceptance. Discuss strategic partners and examine how they increase your competitive advantage. Summarize the competition by discussing who the are, their strengths and weaknesses, opportunities within the market and barriers of entry to new competitors. Elaborate on your competitive advantage by stating what makes you unique and why it s sustainable. Discuss your sales and marketing plan. Review financial expectations by discussing profit margins and what your five year forecast is. Review the funding request and supply the use of funds, the exit strategy, how we are valuating the owners and the business and what future rounds of investing required - then close strong. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Jim covered these points and many, many others in a session jam-packed with advice and useful information.

From : Southwest Florida Online - Sunday Morning News via Talkr.com
By Tony Young Football season's in full swing, and the 2008-09 hunting season's starting to crank up. Archery season's been going on in most of the state, and I want to talk about three other seasons about to start: crossbow, muzzleloading gun and the first phase of dove. Crossbow season occurs between archery and muzzleloading gun seasons in the South and Central hunting zones, lasting five days: Oct. 6-10 and Oct. 20-24, respectively. In the Northwest zone, it comes in later, on the Monday after Thanksgiving (Dec. 1), and lasts one week through Dec. 7. This season's for any hunter who'd like to use a crossbow or continue using a bow on private lands. This is not just for disabled hunters. Crossbow season doesn't apply to wildlife management areas (WMAs), however. The most common game to take during crossbow season will be deer and wild hog. Only bucks may be taken, and one antler must be at least five inches long above the hairline. The daily bag limit on antlered deer is two. Wild hogs – considered livestock on private lands – may, with landowner permission, be hunted year-round with no bag or size limits. It's also legal to shoot gobblers and bearded turkeys during crossbow season. Only one may be taken per day, and there's a two-bird fall-season limit. But you can't hunt turkeys in Holmes County during the fall and winter. Crossbows and bows must have a minimum draw weight of 35 pounds, and hand-held releases on bows are permitted. For hunting deer, hog and turkey, broadheads must have at least two sharpened edges with a minimum width of 7/8 inch. Legal shooting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. Except for turkeys, hunters may take resident game over feed such as corn on private lands. Some things you can't do during crossbow season include hunting deer, hog or turkey with dogs, using explosive or drug-injecting arrows, and possessing firearms. Immediately following the close of crossbow season in the South and Central hunting zones is the beginning of muzzleloading gun season. Season dates run Oct. 11-19 and Oct. 25 – Nov. 2, respectively. Muzzleloading season comes in later in the Northwest zone and runs Nov. 21-23. During muzzleloading gun season, bows and crossbows are legal methods of taking game on private lands, along with muzzleloaders. On WMAs, only muzzleloaders may be used. Legal shooting hours are the same for muzzleloading gun season as crossbow season. And, legal game, including bag limits and prohibited methods for taking game, also are the same as crossbow season. Bag limits and antler/size restrictions for game on WMAs can differ, so check the specifics of the area before you hunt. For hunting deer, muzzleloaders firing single bullets must be at least .40-caliber. Guns firing two or more balls must be 20-gauge or larger. You may not use muzzleloaders with self-contained cartridge ammunition capabilities or possess modern firearms during muzzleloading gun season. The first phase of the mourning and white-winged dove season begins Oct. 4 and ends Oct. 27 statewide. Shooting hours during this first phase are noon to sunset, and there's a new, 15-bird daily bag limit this year. The only firearm you're allowed to hunt doves with is a shotgun, but you can't use one larger than a 10-gauge. Shotguns must be plugged to a three-shell capacity (magazine and chamber combined). You may hunt doves over an agricultural field, as long as the crop's been planted as part of regular agricultural practices. However, it's against the law to scatter agricultural products over an area for the purpose of baiting. Some things you can't do while dove hunting are using rifles, pistols or crossbows; shooting from a moving vehicle; or herding or driving doves with a vehicle. In addition to a Florida hunting license, you'll need a $5 crossbow permit to hunt during crossbow season. A $5 muzzleloading gun permit is needed to hunt during muzzleloader season, and you'll need a no-cost migratory bird permit if you're going to hunt doves. If you hunt on a WMA, you must have a management area permit that costs $26.50.

Alcohol And Drugs Among Seminole Youth Despite $120K Incomes BIG CYPRESS, FL. -- For young members of the Seminole Tribe, this should be the best of times. With annual revenues from casinos and other businesses that have topped $1.4 billion, the tribe provides each of its 3,300 members with an income of about $120,000 a year, a free education and a guaranteed job. And many college-educated Seminoles are coming home to work in the tribe's Hollywood headquarters. Despite these positive developments, young Seminoles die at an alarming rate from drug overdoses, alcohol-involved car crashes and suicide. Of 17 Seminole deaths recorded so far in 2008, 11 ­ or about 65% ­ have been linked to drug or alcohol abuse, according to figures obtained by the Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel. Most of those who have died this year never reached their 40th birthday. Among the fatalities were the 27-year-old daughter of Tribal Councilman David Cypress, killed in an April car crash, and James Girtman, 22, who died of a gunshot suicide in January in Okeechobee. http://swflorida.blogspot.com/2008/04/woman-found-dead-in-canal.html http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-flseminole0928xsbsep28,0,5718141.story ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 23:17:38 -0400 Rich Seminole Youth Headed For Early Deaths? 11782388 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/little-progress-on-everglades-restoration/11782388/

Delays Abound Says New Report On Florida Everglades LABELLE, FL. -- Budgeting, planning, and procedural matters are hindering a federal and state effort to restore the Florida Everglades ecosystem, which is making only scant progress toward achieving its goals. So says a new reports by the National Academies. Good science has been developed to support restoration efforts, but future progress is likely to be limited by the availability of funding and current authorization mechanisms, says the report. To begin reversing decades of decline, managers should address complex planning issues and move forward with projects that have the most potential to restore the natural ecosystem. Ongoing delays in restoration have postponed improving the quality, quantity, timing, distribution, and flow of water in the Everglades and thus have allowed ecological decline to continue. The numerous delays in implementing the Mod Waters project, authorized nearly 20 years ago to restore flows to the northeastern portion of Everglades National Park, have been particularly discouraging. Meanwhile, construction costs continue to rise, and population growth and associated development make restoration increasingly difficult. Unless near-term progress is achieved on major restoration initiatives, the Everglades will likely face further loss of species and habitat deterioration, which could be difficult or impossible to reverse. The National Academies perform a public service by bringing together committees of experts in all areas of scientific and technological endeavor. These experts serve pro bono to address critical national issues and give advice to the federal government and the public. Four organizations comprise the Academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council. http://www.nationalacademies.org/morenews/20080929.html - Everglades Report ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 23:08:09 -0400 Little Progress On Everglades Restoration 11782389 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/labelle-drug-house-arrest/11782389/

John has just written a new book called A Sense of Urgency and I ask him What is the difference between urgency and panic? How does the modern remuneration packages affect urgency? With the financial markets looking for steady business growth, how can we break free from average mindsets and even complacency within business? Does a sense of urgency come from making external statements - a la Steve Jobs announcements at Apple? Why the balance between data and emotion is so important in communication. Do you need to create a "disaster" to create urgency? Why can we create urgency over minor issues, yet struggle with large strategic issues?

During her climb up the corporate ladder at SAS, the world's largest privately held software company, Suzanne Gordon, SAS's vice president of information technology and CIO, developed an air-tight strategy for how IT could work in lockstep with internal SAS customers to reinforce the company's success. A roadblock stood in the way of selling her idea to management. Meanwhile, she decided to move out of IT and into the sales consulting side of SAS. It was here that she saw IT from the customer's perspective. In 2003 when the CIO position came opened at SAS, a company that provides 44,000 customers with analytics software, Gordon got the job. She now could turn her vision into a reality with her IT staff of more than 300 employees. In fact, that same year, Computerworld recognized Gordon's leadership talents by including her in the list of Premier 100 IT Executives for that year. ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:53:29 -0400 Building Trust Between IT and the Internal Customers: Suzanne Gordon, vice president of information technology and CIO at SAS 11776430 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/oktoberfest-2008-new-library-fund-raiser/11776430/
