Mid Length

What is a good product for lifting mid-length hair and to add spikiness or style to it?

I’m mostly looking for products from TIGI BedHead, but others are good too. any suggestions?

Anything from special FX is pretty strong. Use any gel from BedHead. If you have dry hair and you straighten it, be sure to wash with just conditioner a day or two prior to styling with it. If not, you should be fine on clean hair.

1969: Velvet Underground Live, Vol. 2

$9.99

Maureen Tucker once said that one of her greatest regrets about her tenure in the Velvet Underground is that the band didn’t record their shows, and while the live tapes that do survive of the group’s performances document an extraordinary band, sadly there aren’t very many of them. 1969: Velvet Underground Live, a two-record set released in 1974, is the best and most compelling (legally released) document of the band’s powers in concert, but given its length (over 104 minutes), when Mercury Records reissued the set on CD in 1988, they opted to send it out as two separate single-disc albums, rather than as a two-disc set. The three long songs that open 1969: Velvet Underground Live, Vol. 2 (they were the whole of side three on the vinyl release) capture the Velvets at their most hypnotically beautiful, easing from the slow but dramatic ebb and flow of “Ocean,” through the lovely melancholy of “Pale Blue Eyes,” into the slow, unbearable build to manic frenzy of “Heroin.” The disc’s second half finds the band in more conventional but no less satisfying form, shifting back and forth between mid-tempo numbers like “Over You” and “Some Kinda Love” and charging rockers such as “White Light/White Heat” (a fine version of “I Can’t Stand It” has been added for the CD issue). While Lou Reed’s passionate vocals and guitar work are front and center throughout, the rest of the band is in equally superb form, especially Sterling Morrison, still the finest foil Reed ever had on guitar, and Maureen Tucker, whose subtle, highly musical drumming is at once minimal and superbly intelligent. If you care at all about the Velvet Underground, both volumes of 1969: Velvet Undergound Live belong in your collection, but Vol. 2 is the one to get if you want to know how much more this band could do than create bracing noise. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Obtaining Financing for Small and Mid-size Businesses

Obtaining Financing for Small and Mid-size Businesses

Written 9/20/2008

Somewhere along the way your company will probably borrow money. There are a few things every business owner should know before starting the process…

Commercial loans have become increasingly more complex to place with lenders.
The most knowledgeable and prepared borrowers are the most likely to achieve their borrowing goals.
In most cases small and mid-size companies (SMB’s) turn to commercial lenders and their brokers to provide the expertise needed.

In today’s highly scrutinized and regulated mortgage climate, lenders are increasingly looking out for their investors. This makes finding the right lender – borrower relationship more difficult than in any time in recent decades. Despite this complexity, there is substantial money available for properly prepared and qualified borrowers. As such, borrowers should learn how to successfully proceed in today’s complex markets. This article will serve as a primer outlining the steps, some principles, and business terms that are common in many types of business loan transactions.

Step 1 – Ask Questions:

Asking basic questions of the lender or your broker prior to starting the loan process can help save valuable time and increase the chances of completing a successful loan transaction. The best starting point is to learn general information about the lenders you are soliciting for your business… are they a direct lender or broker, how long in business, are upfront fees charged, are references available, length of time to issue a Letter of Interest (LOI), length of time to issue a Letter of Commitment (LOC). Additionally, you will need to ask what is expected of the borrower. In order to receive accurate answers to these, the lender will need information.

Step 2 – Be Organized:

Lenders have strict guidelines for determining their ability and desire to make loans and typically utilize an underwriting department for this process. Established guidelines vary based on the loan type, thus obtaining a summary of these guidelines upon initiating a loan request will provide insight as to whether your loan request and your credit worthiness meets the lender’s requirements. This step should be completed before proceeding with the loan process. A commercial mortgage broker can help review the guidelines and provide a checklist and support to help with the preparation of the preliminary documents needed.

Step 3 – Prepare for and Request a Letter of Interest:

All lenders will provide a contingent position on whether they can provide your loan, prior to issuing a final commitment. This “soft commitment” will come in the form of either a Letter of Interest (LOI), or a Contingent Letter of Commitment (CLOC). A lender can make this determination with a minimum amount of documentation. The basic information should be summarized on a single page “Request for Terms” from the borrower supported with a few additional documents prepared by the borrower once committed to ‘shopping’ for a loan. The basic information should include the client type, basics of the industry, this company’s role in the industry, who owns the business and their proportionate equity, a basic business financial snapshot for the last few years, the terms the borrower is requesting, how proceeds will be used, and what collateral is available. Upon verification and review of these documents most lenders will be able to provide the LOI, or advise the loan is not suitbable for their portfolio. Of significant importance will be the amount of “out of pocket” expenses that will be required, which is always included in the LOI.

Step 4: Provide the Documents Needed to Enable a Letter of Commitment:

Upon acceptance of the LOI by the borrower and lender, the borrower will receive an extensive list of the items required by the lender in order for them to perform their full underwriting process in order to determine that they can issue a non-contingent commitment in the form of a Letter of Commitment (LOC). The list will include property appraisals (if being used for collateral), credit checks, financial statements, management backgrounds, insurance certificates, environmental and governmental certifications where applicable, corporate documents, and a business plan including use of proceeds. Audited financials for the business may also be required. Communicating with the lender’s representative or broker will help the borrower efficiently move through this process.

Step 5 – Prepare for Settlement:

Following the Letter of Commitment, the loan package will move to a settlement attorney of the lenders choice for preparation of the loan settlement. Once the lender’s documents are all reviewed and in order, the lender will schedule settlement. The orderly process of preparing for settlement is primarily in the hands of a loan processor who is engaged by the lender’s settlement attorney. Keeping abreast of the settlement process and following the preparation of the settlement documents is best handled by a professional such as a commercial broker that has experience with this process.

The steps to borrowing for your business are logical, but require expertise. The expertise needed to protect the borrower’s interest and successfully complete a commercial loan is best provided by a commercial mortgage broker. The investment is well worth the cost, as failure rates increase proportionately with lack of proper preparation. There is money available for business loans for almost any purpose, but only those properly prepared will make it to closing.
