Plan loosens red tape for businesses

Among other things, the changes will mean savings in time and costs with some applications to set up a business, where one existed previously.

And applications for a material change of use will no longer be required where, for example, an existing warehouse operator wants to add a manufacturing section without increasing the size of the building.

Councillor Lew Brennan, also chair of economic development and council entrepreneurship, said the amendments represented a “significant step towards easing the restrictions on business, while still respecting the values of the original planning scheme".

“Commonplace uses for a town or village centre, such as commercial offices, medical centres, shops and cafes, will now become self-assessable where they are established in an existing building already approved for any one of those uses," Mr Brennan said. more

Front-Line Experience Delivers For FedEx's Asian-Pacific Chief

In May 2007, FedEx launched next-business-day deliveries to more than 30 Chinese cities, and it now operates 26 weekly round-trip flights between the U.S. and Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, up from 11 in 2004.

Mr. Cunningham's next challenge is to ensure that FedEx makes a smooth transition from its long-established regional hub in Subic Bay, the Philippines, to a hub in Guangzhou in southern China's industrial Guangdong province.

He shared his views on management in a telephone interview with Bruce Stanley in Hong Kong, speaking from FedEx's regional headquarters there. more

Resolved Question: How much should I charge my sister to be a live in maid/babysitter/house manager?

I need to make some money to start up a little business so I was considering moving in with my wealthy sister and working for her but I want to know what would be a fair price because I don't work for peanuts. She's a single working mother who's always working and never has time to keep her house or condo thing clean and healthy. Also, my poor nephew is deprived of a caretaker. She's always having a difficult time trying to find someone to dump him on and he prefers to stay home and go in the pool and stuff. I'm like perfect for the job because he's my nephew and I love him and I can keep her house looking real good which it never really does. She's always complaining that her house is a mess. So she would have a lot less stress if I did this. I said 450/wk she said 300 and then she had the nerve to say 250 but I think I can persuade her otherwise even though she's a crafty business woman trying to get over on her littlest sister. That was just a quick convo in the bathroom. By the way, I'm 20 and I have 5 nieces and nephews, 2 of which I practically raised. I also am a very good tutor which could come in handy because in high school I volunteered tutored for 4 years and I also private tutored for pay for a family for 1yr (3 crazy young boys totally crazy kids!). I also tutored recently a girl across the street when I was working as a waitress. Really I want to make the most money possible and be fair to her. Honestly, the live in thing would be best for her rather than me coming over twice a week because she probably won't keep it clean and she could really use a full-time babysitter because on certain nights she promotes parties at clubs which is an all night thing and she works 6 days a week in the morning till evening at her office in the city. Also, she has an extra room with a bed, desk and furniture which she doesn't use! I won't eat all her food because it's junk food and I could keep her son healthy because I know a lot about health because when I was going to school (which I will be going back next yr) I was a bio-chem major and in high school I was the best in the AP bio class and in the science league (bio) and I just research health a lot because I care. He always eats fast food and other crap when I could just be her "produce manager" and do her food shopping and cook for him. So, seeing how convenient and perfect my service would be, what would be fair? The more I do, the more I require, but essentially she needs a maid and a part-time or full-time nanny. more

Resolved Question: How many musicians and artists can you list who have performed with Michael Jackson?

Aside from Eddie Van Halen and Slash, who else can you name? True story. I was delivering furniture for a company called Homestead House. They were a high end furniture store.I was told that tomorrow I will get the San Ynez/ Santa Barbara run.Later that night I'm watching the Oprah interview of Michael Jackson and I told my mom "I have a sneaky suspicion I'm gonna be delivering furniture to Michael Jackson." The next morning at work I was told that I will be doing the Los Angeles run instead. I figured no big deal. We pull up to this high rise on Wilshire Blvd ( I think). My helper goes into the building to let the business know we're there and to find out where the furniture will go. I'm in the back of the truck untying the Oyster Sofa, Oyster Chair, ottoman,a glass and brass coffee table and 2 glass and brass end tables.My partner comes running to the back of the truck and goes "DUDE WE'RE DELIVERING TO MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!MJJ SERVICES IS MICHAELS OFFICE FOR ALL HIS CHARITY WORK!!!!! We grab some furniture and head in. Once I opened the door the first thing I saw was this huge painting of Michael being surrounded by all types of wild animals,tigers, lions etc. We deliver the furniture and Betty Bailey signs off. She was Michaels assistant in charge of his charity work. Bill Brayal gave us a tour of the office (he was Michaels head of security. The first time Michael got in trouble, he was the one who, if you found Bill, Michael was near by. After we left I pulled over to a pay phone and called my mom and told her that I just delivered to Michael Jackson (Even though Michael wasnt there) more

Resolved Question: Currently- Do you think this is so true?

Today we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. Common Sense lived a long life but died from heart failure at the brink of the millennium. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools; hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in out of the rain, the early bird gets the worm, and life isn't always fair. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technical Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and "new math." But his health declined when he became infected with the Technological Revolution with the "if-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it" virus. In recent decades his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal regulation. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies, reports of six-year-old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, a teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but cannot inform the parent when the female student is pregnant or wants an abortion. Finally Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low flow toilets, "smart" guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory airbags. Finally when told that the homeowners association restricted exterior furniture only to that which enhanced property values, he breathed his last. Common Sense was preceded by death by his parents Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility, and his son, Reason. Three stepbrothers survive him: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner. Not many attended his funeral evidently because so few realized he was gone.Sory Ding not my own work but thanks more

Resolved Question: Betrayed and Bitter?

My husband and I recently found out we were cheated by our friends and business partners. While we were on business together, both of us willingly put our company names when we do advertising, and we all agreed to split the cost for the service fee. We also contributed furnitures and and phones in the office so that we could make contacts. Well, the business fell through and we all had to pack our stuff and move on ( we didn't even have an official split cos none of them would return our calls). Now, we received mails saying our advertising fees are overdue and they will take actions against my husband and I unless we pay. So I emailed all the ex business partners and told them what happened. One of them replied that since the bill is addressed to my husband, it's none of his business. I felt so stupid for having thought these people are our friends and partners. I cannot trust anyone after this incident. I feel like wanting to bring them down and never get up again. What should I do?We have tried emailing and calling them but did not get a single reply. We can't even get our furnitures and stuff back from them. Our office was located at one of their houses. We now live 12 hours away from them, so there's no way we can just knock on their doors. Is there a legal way we report them, like maybe theft? Can we sue them? more

Resolved Question: New company asking employee to incur direct cost?

I am involved in the prelimenary stages of opening a dealership selling kitchen furniture. We have a small group who is experienced in sales, office management, & service in the business. There is an investor who has expressed interest in opening a shop that he wants us to hire us for. They have proposed that we incur some of the direct costs by receiving a lesser base salary, paying 20% of our paycheck in to buying shares in the company and then sharing a certain percentage of the profit quarterly or annually. 20% being taken because we don't have any money up front to buy shares. I am wondering is if this is normal or is this inappropriate? I get the feeling they they are trying to stick it to the little guy.IMO we should be fully compensated for our work as producers and if we were to buy shares that we would then fair and square share the profits as decided. I am really concerned about this. It seems they really just want us to sacrifice our pay for direct costs. Is this fair? more

Resolved Question: Cheap home furnishings and appliances?

I went to buy a new refrigerator & haggling over the price. I asked the salesman if he hired the cheapest contractor for storm repairs. He just stared at me with a blank look & said nothing. I told him I do home improvement and many homeowners are defrauding their insurance company with fake invoices & then getting cheap bids from illegals to do the work. I thanked him for his time and then turned and walked out. Next I went to the furniture store and picked out $4000 of furniture and negotiated the price down to $3500. I told the salesman that I've been in business 30 years, but couldn't afford it because my customers were selling out to the cheapest contractor. Next I went to the office and cancelled three phone book ads. Next I cancelled two cell phones. Next I cancelled an extra telephone landline that I felt I could do without. Next I fired the girl that answers the phones and hired an answer service for $75 per month. I told all the above people that I did not need them or their services anymore, because many homeowners were buying the cheapest junkiest deal and defrauding their insurance company. Do you think that some of those people that I fired had hired the cheapest deal on their home projects too? more

Resolved Question: Did you hear about Common Sense??

THE DEATH OF COMMON SENSE Today we mourn the passing of an old friend by the name of Common Sense. Common sense lived a long life but died from heart failure at the brink of the millennium. No one really knows how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes, factories and offices, helping folks get jobs done without fanfare and foolishness. For decades, petty rules, silly laws and frivolous lawsuits held no power over Common Sense. He was credited with cultivating such valued lessons as to know when to come in out of the rain, the early bird gets the worm, and life isn't always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn), reliable parenting strategies (the adults are in charge, not the kids), and it's okay to come in second. A veteran of the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and the Technological Revolution, Common Sense survived cultural and educational trends including feminism, body piercing, whole language and new math. But his health declined when he became infected with the If-it-only-helps-one-person-it's-worth-it bug. In recent decades his waning strength proved no match for the ravages of overbearing federal regulation. He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and enlightened auditors. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies, reports of six year old boys charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, a teen suspended for taking a swig of mouthwash after lunch, and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student. It declined even further when schools had to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student but cannot inform the parent when the female student is pregnant or wants an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost his will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than victims, and federal judges stuck their noses in everything from Boy Scouts to professional sports. As the end neared, Common Sense drifted in and out of logic but was kept informed of developments, regarding questionable regulations for asbestos, low-flow toilets, smart guns, the nurturing of Prohibition Laws and mandatory air bags. Finally when told that the homeowners association restricted exterior furniture only to that which enhanced property values, he breathed his last. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers: Rights, Tolerance and Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. more

Resolved Question: Looking for sources to find business owners who need Equipment Financed for expansion/upcoming needs?

I am a broker with a small firm in Colorado and we finance business owners who need equipment- ranging from trucks to refrigerators to computers and office furniture. I am getting mixed results with cold calling- I've had some success but it's tough hitting everyone at the right time. I have tried some other sources- mainly Craigslist- but it's been tough to manage as you can only post there so much. I know that there are thousands of businesses nationwide that would benefit from the banks and funding sources that we work with in the form of lower rates and service provided. My question is-What is the best way to find a prospective customer without calling and writing and generally irritating every business owner in the U.S.? What are the best ways for me to find business owners that I know are looking for funding? Are there websites dedicated to people seeking financing, like Prosper? Any help is greatly appreciated.Carla-it will be nearly impossible to find funding with low personal credit and being a startup. more

Resolved Question: Should I tell everyone I know that Raymour and Flanigan is a terrible store with no customer service?

I placed an order - they entered it wrong. I had to drive back to store to correct the errors since they would not help over phone or on line. Then they switched delivery on me 3 times and were rude to me when I told them I was not available the days they wanted to deliver. Then they finally delivered but did not have the right furniture,after they'd called and rescheduled again so all would be there. When I called to complain, they hung up on me! I called management who promised to look into it and call me back. They never did. I finally called and told them to come pick this furniture up and refund my money. They argued with me! After threatening to call the better business boro, they finally agreed to refund and pick up the furniture. I am disusted. what should I do to make sure no one else is treated this way? I called their corporate office 2x with no response. Your suggestions? more
