' universes. The location is Tokyo Big Sight (yes, that is sight and not site), a HUGE event center on an island in Tokyo Bay called Odaiba. The large halls at Big Sight are filled with rows and rows of dealer tables.I got the goosebumps near the end. What a great post. I think a lot of us resonate with the inner child that we left alone. Getting high for me anyways was a great way to escape the reality of not being who I thought I was going to be when I was a child and so weed was a way to cope with the sadness I felt from not living up to that. But once I realized it was never about living up to that external image but instead an internal feeling I was able to quite and reconnect with myself and I am now more fulfilled than I ever thought I could be. Thanks again for the post, anything that gives me goosebumps is always a treat to read!Fast drei Monate ist es jetzt her, seit dieses Parlament eine sehr wichtige Entschließung angenommen hat.

We are aware of the difficulties involved in the pursuit of these objectives.Services for Small Businesses
We work with a range of business sizes, from sole proprietors to larger corporations. We typically work with privately owned businesses, helping owners with comprehensive financial, retirement, and success planning services, including:
Retirement Planning
Many small business owners are interested in setting up a retirement plan but are not sure where to start. Because the business owner is responsible for choosing the company retirement plan’s design and investment options, there are critical decisions to be made. Specializing in retirement planning strategies, we can assist clients with qualified plan designs, including:
- Safe Harbor and Traditional 401(k)
- Profit Sharing Plan (Integrated, Age-Based, New Comparability)
- SEP/SIMPLE IRA Plans
- Defined Benefit Plan
- Cash Balance Plans
- Combination Plans
Other Business Strategies
We can also assist with other nonqualified business strategies, connecting them with the business’ other qualified retirement plans to create the most appropriate comprehensive solutions, including:
- Executive Bonus Programs
- Deferred Compensation Programs
- Split Dollar Programs (using corporate dollars for personal insurance)
- Section-79 Plans
- Captive Insurance Programs*
*Creation of the Captive Insurance Company subsidiary is arranged by an independent third party specialist.
Tax Planning Strategies
Tax planning refers to the process of reviewing tax options and determining how taxes can be reduced. Many small business owners are unaware of the fact that, by adjusting how they conduct business or transactions, they may be able to mitigate taxes. Tax planning is an ongoing process that occurs throughout the year, rather than waiting until the year is over. We work with clients’ CPAs or, if needed, refer them to one to create an appropriate overall plan. Our goal is to help clients reduce their taxable income and concurrently create a more effective retirement plan.
Business Continuation Planning
A goal of many business owners is to someday transfer their business interest to either family members or key employees. By working with a client’s other professional advisors, or through relationships of our own, we help the business owner design a business continuity and/or succession plan. Then we work with the business owner to help implement the plan and provide them with funding alternatives. Buy/Sell Agreement funding strategies and key man insurance are available to help protect a business financially against the premature death or disability of a business stakeholder or key employee. In addition, our ability to provide tax-deferred funding vehicles for buy/sell agreements and business succession plans allows us to potentially help a client’s business both today – and tomorrow.
Financial and Investment Services
We recognize the commitment and responsibility we undertake when providing clients retirement planning, business succession planning, and investment services. Whether at a business or individual level, we listen closely to our clients’ objectives and help them choose appropriate high quality products and investments based on their risk tolerance and investment time horizon. We believe that the best relationships are long-term relationships – and we know that their success is based on trust, integrity, and responsiveness.In this episode, Laurence Mackin and Sinead O’Shea are joined by fellow Docker Derek McGrath, Tara Levins from Accenture Ireland, and Neva Elliot McGinley, CEO of Crash Ensemble, to discuss how hierarchy has both helped and undermined their working lives, and what we can learn from different workplaces and their approach to structure. DockPod is presented by Laurence Mackin and Sinead O’Shea and is produced by Sinead O’Shea.Update:

Hey all,
I have for your consideration the 1st. wave of "Pea Whistles".
These are made from 6061-T6 Aluminum, and feature a 6mm Air Soft pellet as the Pea.
The finish is just plain right out of the CNC. I kinda like the machine lines on them myself.
USA price is $45.00.
Also, I have so many folks looking forward to these that I'm going to put a 2 per person limit on them.
These have been a long time coming, and I thank you all for being patient with me.
Please send an Email to jordanmetalart@gmail.com to make a purchase.
Kenn
EDIT: I was able to obtain a sound meter, and these come in at 106.6dB

Thanks folks,
I'm at 8 shipping boxes until Tuesday the soonest.
Kenn these look great, they going to turn my lips grey from the aluminum? Just wondering. Thanks Gary:>)
Gary,
Not unless you fall asleep with it in your mouth....lol
Seriously though, I've been field testing mine for some time now w/ out any black lips.
That is unless my Wife is having a good laugh;)
Thank you all,
Just as soon as the USPS delivers my Box order I'll post up the remainder of the Whistles.
On another note, it's a pleasure to see some new folks placing orders.
Always appreciative,
Your's is most likely a higher grade Al than most Al things that I have so I'm sure no worries, I'll just keep it clean thanks again!!! Gary :>)
Gary,
I believe you're most likely referring to cast aluminum items which do tend to be on the dirty side unless they have been sealed somehow.
Just wanted to say thanks Kenny!
Congrats to all who were lucky to score a whistle.
Wow Kenn! Those are great!
Thanks guys,
I'm really unimpressed w/ USPS on these boxes.
For the last few years I had been hoarding them from the local Post Offices, but I could tell they were getting sick of me asking for them.
This was the first time ordering them from their web site.
I had ordered them on the 9th., and they just showed up today???
I'll know to order way in advance when I get low next time.
Just a thank you to all who have purchased Whistles so far.
I truly appreciate all the support.
Kenn
Got my whistle today,love the look and feel of it! So consider this a wap on the back for a job well done! Thanks Kenn, Gary :>) PS Sorry had to remove my first comment cause of bad spelllingg! hehe!!
Gary,
Thanks for the kudos.
I'm glad you're pleased my friend.
I should have my hands on a DB meter tomorrow, and I'll post the results then.
Enjoy....:)
Kenn,
These are great variation of what initially looks like a traditional design. These are definitely custom made, and great to look at from all angles.
I am impressed with their extremely lightweight to size.
It is great to go back to the machining video, and see these being created.
thank you very much!
John
John,
You are quite welcome.
I'm glad you're enjoying the video.
Several folks have Emailed me regarding it, and I'll try to post more in the future.
Did you notice the edit in the Whistle post?
I got a hold of a sound meter, and the Whistles come in at 106.6 dB.
Kenn,
Great job on the whistles!
Loud. Confirmed with your dB measurement.
I really like the Geodesic Sphere on the "sidebar" pic.
John
Thanks John,
Yup, they're pretty loud...:)
Ah you noticed the Geo Sphere?
That was a by product from a custom shifter knob I had made for my Fathers 30 Ford street Rod. His is solid, but has Copper dots in
