Most parents say their children are their highest priority and that parenting is among the most important things they do. Yet, they often approach parenting in a reactionary and defensive way. Instead, all of us need a proactive offense!

Most parents say their children are their highest priority and that parenting is among the most important things they do.

Yet they often approach parenting in a reactionary and defensive way.

In fact, during our 30 years of writing and speaking to parents and families all over the world, three of the most prominent parenting models, be they intentional or unintentional, are:

• The all I can do is keep them fed, sheltered and clothed model. Many parents are so burdened and busy that all they can do is try to meet the physical needs of their kids.

• The general contractor model. Like a general contractor who lets the plumber and electrician and carpenter do all the work, parents often farm everything out to the teachers, the coaches and the tutors and dont actually do much parenting themselves.

• The wait for a problem and hope I can solve it model. So many parents just drift along, thinking things are OK with their kids and that if there is a problem, they can buy a parenting book and find out how to handle the situation.

Instead of these passive approaches, parents today need a proactive parenting model, one where they set and strive to meet specific objectives for and with their children. In fact, we all need a model much like a business plan, where we clearly define what we want and then come up with a plan and set aside the time and the priorities to make it happen.

Minnesotas top court threw out a legal challenge to the planned sale of $468 million in bonds to help pay for a new stadium for the National Football Leagues Vikings.

The state supreme court said in an order issued yesterday that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the lawsuit filed by three Minneapolis residents on Jan. 10.

Led by one-time Minneapolis mayoral candidate Doug Mann, the petitioners said the stadium plan unconstitutionally relied upon city sales taxes to pay the bond debt. Minnesota postponed a sale scheduled for Jan. 13 after the challenge was filed.

The statute under which Mann and the others sued does not confer original jurisdiction on the court to resolve all challenges to legislation authorizing the use of appropriation bonds, six members of the court said in an unsigned ruling. The courts seventh member, former Vikings defensive tackle Alan Page, didnt participate in the case.

The justices said the residents could file a lower-court case raising a constitutional challenge to a matter involving taxation, without expressing an opinion on whether such a claim could be successfully litigated. A suit filed by Mann against the Minneapolis City Council was rejected by a lower court in November and again yesterday by a three-judge panel on the states intermediate-level Court of Appeals.

I will consider my appeal options in the lawsuit against the city, decide whether to take further action within a few days, Mann said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.

Given the stance taken by the Supreme Court on the writ of prohibition, and amazingly quick action by both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, a request for review by the Supreme Court seems unlikely to be granted, he said.

The constitutionality of the laws authorizing the sale wasnt at all addressed, he said.

In asking the Supreme Court for a dismissal last week, Jim Schowalter, commissioner of the states Department of Management and Budget, said there was no constitutional violation.

MMB and the states financial team are turning to selling the necessary bonds to keep the stadium project on track and all the Stadium Authority to make timely payments on construction and land acquisition agreements, Schowalter said in a statement issued after yesterdays rulings.

Vikings Stadium Bond Lawsuit Thrown Out by Minnesota High Court

Fremont, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2014

While very popular in European countries stretch ceilings technology is practically unknown in North America. Prior to opening its manufacturing facility in Fremont, the Los Altos, CA based Stretch Ceilings Inc. had to use manufacturers located outside of California and sometimes outside of US which had significantly slowed the time to deliver the product to the customers and added to the cost of the ceiling. Now with its own new manufacturing plant Smart Ceilings, Inc. has better control of the whole process, improves quality of the product and can manufacture the ceiling to be installed on the day of the order if needed. The final cost to the client will also drop making the stretch ceiling more affordable.

As Alex Novel, the companys President and CTO explains: Stretch ceilings have a number of advantages compared to traditional ceilings: unique reflective ability to incise ceiling height; they are water resistant; may be printed, back-lit, acoustic, antibacterial, non-sweating and dirt-resistant. Stretch ceiling also offers a full range of high-technology trim that can be adapted to any situation. Stretch ceiling coverings are installed cold and dry: quick, easy, clean, odor- and headache-free. The finishes are perfect and the result, impeccable. Respectful of the environment and your well-being, all parts of the system are recyclable. No cancer-causing substances (known as CMTs) and volatile organic compounds (known as VOCs). Stretch ceiling has certifications, which meet all standards currently in effect. It is ideal for new construction and renovations in all public and residential areas and designed for all professional and domestic uses.

In addition to manufacturing ceilings to be installed by the Stretch Ceilings Inc., own installers, the company now offers ceilings manufacturing at wholesale prices to other installers and dealers in US and Canada. The wholesale package includes training of installers offered to companies entering the stretch ceilings line of business.

Smart Ceilings, Inc. works closely with interior designers, architects, real estate developers and business owners offering extensive selection of colors and textures of stretch ceilings membrane.

Alex Novel goes on to say the following about the perspectives of the Stretch Ceilings market in US and California specifically: "The major factor limiting popularity of stretch ceilings in US is the final cost to customers. With manufacturing being real close to the installation site we hope to bring the cost down dramatically, which will finally make stretch ceiling affordable and cost effective to most of the home and business owners nationwide"

About Stretch Ceilings Inc.: Smart Ceilings Inc. is a leading stretch ceilings manufacturer and Installation Company in California and the only manufacturer of stretch ceilings in Western US. Smart Ceilings, Inc. serves the entire California including San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles Greater Area, San Diego, Orange County, and Sacramento.
