The Wiki discussion page lists other sites which have an entirely different birthdate. In the interest of accuracy, the birthdate should be removed or listed as questionable and re-directed to a discussion page.[[Special:Contributions/188.8.131.52|188.8.131.52]] 00:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Considering a majority of sites do, in fact, list the 63 as her birthdate, and the sites listed on your discussion link are user edited and thus, not usable, until proven otherwise it will stay. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 00:37, 17 March 2009 (UTC) :A "majority of sites" referencing something is not a legitimate argument for including the information if the sites are user-contributed and/or reference a widely-believed hoax. The standard for including information in the bio of a living person is original source verifiability, of which there is none here.[[Special:Contributions/220.127.116.11|220.127.116.11]] 00:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC) OK. I did a little research...she was credited in the movie Confessions of a Serial Killer (1985) as a Blonde Prostitute...if she was born in 1973, as you '''claim''', that would make her 12 when she performed that roll...I find that highly unlikely therefore she was most likely 22 which would make her born in 1963. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 00:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC) :I do not claim she was born in 1973, only that the '63 date is unverified.[[Special:Contributions/18.104.22.168|220.127.116.11]] 00:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Correction: The link you gave states possibly 1973 based purely on anecdotal evidence which isn't enough to change this particular entry. And I have yet to see evidence of this "hoax". It will stay until proven otherwise. Unless you have evidence to the contrary the current date will be accepted as it was added by a regular contributor. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 00:56, 17 March 2009 (UTC) ::The hoax is well-documented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carafano_v._Metrosplash.com here]. Please do your research before implying that the online hoax did not occur. Remember, maintain a neutral POV.[[Special:Contributions/22.214.171.124|126.96.36.199]] 09:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC) I did not imply anything. Nobody posted that evidence which, by default, means i haven't seen any evidence. I will not do research to verify your claims you must prove yours. Until someone can add more to this discussion it's pretty much pointless and I will not continue. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 17:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC) By the way wikipedia is not a source for your hoax as well as the fact that the "hoax" was only added recently, by a similar ip address thus can't be used in this discussion. If you show a court document stating that the dob was fabricated then that can be used but the links on wikipedia linking to the court documents are not available and thus also can't be used...there isn't much evidence that there's a hoax. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 17:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC) :::Morder is quite correct. It is not our job to research your claims, especially when you provide no alternative to what is posted. Your arguments might have more weight if you provided both evidence of what you claim and a possible alternative. I would have to say that I haven't seen anything to convince me that the current date is incorrect, and Morder has provided evidence that would seem to suggest that it is correct.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 19:00, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Alan has done some more research and found that she was in college in 1984 and 1985 [http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/University_Texas_Cactus_Yearbook/1984/Page_78.html] [http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/University_Texas_Cactus_Yearbook/1985/Page_70.html] [http://www.e-yearbook.com/yearbooks/University_Texas_Cactus_Yearbook/1985/Page_69.html]. Her University apparently also lists her dob as 1963. [http://www.nndb.com/edu/721/000068517/] We know she did go to UT Austin [http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/tad/about_us/profiles/alumni/masterson.cfm] [http://www.finearts.utexas.edu/tad/people/alumni/distinguished_alumni.cfm]. Blockbuster.com also lists her dob as 1963 as a trivia question. VH1 also lists 1963 as her dob...so considering her college info I would say her dob is 1963. Anyway, I think this is enough for now. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 19:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC) She was also nude in the film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088153/ Songwriter (1984)] which means she needed to be at least 18 at the time of that film. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 21:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC) I have temporarily protected this page due to continued changes to the birthdate.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 12:01, 6 April 2009 (UTC) If you check Morder's reference to her University of Austin page, it quotes her as saying she's been a full-time actress for 14 years since graduation. Assuming she didn't graduate and do something else for ten years, that'd make her in her 20s in the 90s. Moreover, the IMDB entries list her as "child prostitute" in a 1985 film and "little girl in bed" in "Songwriter." Moreover, I've seen "Songwriter" - she was most certainly a child in that film. I suggest the 1973 birth year stands. --[[Special:Contributions/18.104.22.168|188.8.131.52]] 12:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :Unlikely. If that was true, it is child pornography and thus illegal.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 12:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC) ::It would be, if she actually got naked in the film. The only reference I can find to her being nude in that film is the "Mr. Skin" site -- hardly a reference-worthy source. Having seen the film? Not naked. Sorry, Mr. Skin! --[[Special:Contributions/126.96.36.199|184.108.40.206]] 12:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :So we shouldn't believe that website, but we should believe yours...............--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 12:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC) ::The IMDB is a significantly more credible source than a porn site. More to the point -- if a naked screen capture of a Trek actress existed, we'd be able to find it with Google Images. Looked for it. Can't find it. Very likely doesn't exist. --[[Special:Contributions/184.108.40.206|18.104.22.168]] 12:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :That was not my point. My point was you are asking us to disbelieve evidence against your claim from websites but are asking us to believe evidence from your websites which supports you. The burden of proof is on you to provide better information than what we have and simply providing other websites when there is a known dispute over this information is not persuasive.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 13:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :::Ok, time for me to play admin and bring this debate to an end. Until something valid comes along stating otherwise, the birthdate stated on IMDb and other semi-reliable sites will have to do. By "valid", I mean something like a news source or an official site, something like that. Or better yet, Masterson herself. Until then, the birthdate cannot and will not be altered. Doing so will just be a waste of time since it will just be reverted and the page protected. If it happens often enough, the "culprit" will be blocked from editing. So, unless you have a ''valid'', ''citable'' source that says Chase Masterson was '''not''' born on February 26, 1963, this discussion ends now. Otherwise, we would just be arguing back and forth. --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 18:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :::UPDATE: Having thought about the matter, since there's not really anything valid stating she was born in '63, either, perhaps we ''should'' remove the year until it is confirmed. --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 18:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :I would support leaving off the date, as it does seem to be in dispute (and not just here).--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 18:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC) PS- I objected to changing it to a date which doesn't seem to make sense.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 18:53, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :::There is no need to change her birthdate (Feb. 26), as that has been confirmed via Facebook, her official site, her club site, etc. The year is the only part of the date that is in dispute. All that we know is that she was born before 1973 (she was attending the University of Texas in 1984 and 1985). That means she was ''at least'' 18 years old at that time, which in turn means she was around or over 18 when she appeared in ''Songwriter'' and ''Confessions of a Serial Killer''. Any way you slice it, she was born in the 1960s and is thus still in her 40s. Hard to believe, yes, but true. --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 19:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :I said date, but I meant the year. I do appreciate your explanation, though. :)--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 19:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC) Ok. Some news for people. Children (under the age of legal consent) ''can'' be nude in a movie. They must have parental consent but they can be nude. They, however, ''cannot'' be in a sex scene. So my statement was wrong about her ''must be at least 18 to appear nude'' - If you can't find the pictures of her nude or can't get a copy of the video that's your problem. The hoax that this user is perpetuating is false. As for her year - valid sources do state her year as 1963 - VH1, MTV, Blockbuster.com and IMDb. These sources, however you may feel, are valid. If they're wrong, the source itself is still valid. There are too many birthdates and other information on this site that is based on sources that we cannot confirm the validity of other than to trust the source. The Anon states that those sites base the information on a ''hoax''...well that hoax doesn't exist. (and they're sites are more reputable than any site given by the anon) The linked site only recently added the information, and was promptly removed, as the court documents do not state that the dob was fabricated (or that the dob was even mentioned). Therefor the assumption that the sources are invalid is also invalid since no ''hoax'' existed when the sites information was posted. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 21:04, 6 April 2009 (UTC) :::Hi! All of your points as to the differing source (and quality thereof) are good. I've taken the liberty of emailing Ms. Masterson to ask her to post her actual birthday on her official website somewhere. Also: Morder, I'm not the person going on about a hoax. I went from Wikipedia to here, noticed the difference in birthdates, realized I'd seen her looking about twelve in a movie from the 80s, and corrected the date. I should've looked at the Talk page first and seen the raging debate. My bad! --[[Special:Contributions/188.8.131.52|188.8.131.52]] 04:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I emailed her when this started and have yet to hear back from her. — [[User:Morder|Morder]] 04:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC) :I'd like to chime in with an observation here. I noticed several people pointing to these UT college yearbook articles from 1984 saying that someone named "Christi Carafano" was starring in some theatre productions. As a former theatre student myself, I can tell you that this does not mean in any way that she was a student there at that time. College drama departments often bring in people from outside the college to star in plays. At my university our extended ed program brought in high school and even elementary school students to participate in courses and star in shows, sometimes in main (or even the lead) roles. It happens quite frequently. So far I've seen no documentation that Christi Carafano was an enrolled student at UT in 1984, only that she was considered to be in the "senior cast" in a show or two, which could mean anything. She could have been 12 at the time, or she could have been 112. Those yearbooks are not evidence of her birthyear. Also, somebody mentioned that her university listed her birthdate as 1963. But the link that user provided as evidence of this was to the NNDB - a website which lists famous people, including by college, and their supposed birthdays. We have no evidence that that information came from the university itself. [[Special:Contributions/188.8.131.52|188.8.131.52]] 06:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC) == Age Part 2 == I've removed the readdition of 1963 as her birth year until a source can be confirmed for this date, which is in dispute(see above).--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 18:12, June 24, 2010 (UTC) :Stumbled across this site on only a vaguely related matter but I can't resist a mystery. I found the following clues. :1. {{TrekWeb.com|stories.php?aid{{=}}4c21c05d5adf6}} At this link on Trek Web, Chase is interviewed by Gustavo Leao just this past June. Relevant portion to this discussion was when she referred to working with Nana Visitor... "I had seen her dance in a Broadway musical when I was a kid". So in this first person account she places the time frame she saw Nana Visitor as when she was a "kid". :2. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000684/otherworks The IMDB lists her "other works" as being broadway shows in 83 and 84. :3. http://nanavision.com/?page_id=2 Nana Visitor's website biography says that her first major broadway role was in 1980. :4. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0135895/bio The bio on IMDB says that she had auditioned for a part on DS-9 in 1994 "but was told that, at age 21, she was a bit too old to be romantically involved with the teenage Jake character." This came from director Avery Brooks per the IMDB with quite a bit of detail. :So here we have her discussing her age at sometime between 1980-1984, deducing the years from other sources, as being a "kid". We also have the IMDB sourcing the director Avery Brooks as dating her at 21 in 1994 which would support a birthday in 1973. Although the IMDB info is only second hand, if we assume the links from sources 1 and 3 are reported honestly then there is enough to help support the claim in link number 4. [[Special:Contributions/220.127.116.11|188.8.131.52]] 05:17, August 7, 2010 (UTC)BC None of this really changes anything, as it is very similar to the information given in the above discussion. There is also information out there(also as stated above) which implies she is older. We need something that doesn't require us to piece together information or make assumptions.--[[User:31dot|31dot]] 11:56, August 7, 2010 (UTC) == Age, Part 3 == Since Wikipedia now has a reference for the 1963 birth year and is accepting it as valid and sourced, I think we can as well. I'm re-adding it, barring any further discussions. -- [[User:Renegade54|Renegade54]] ([[User talk:Renegade54|talk]]) 17:35, December 18, 2012 (UTC) :If you read through the summery of the court case that she had the '73 date was part of all that, she herself has not lowered her age. [[User:Lt.Lovett|Lt.Lovett]] ([[User talk:Lt.Lovett|talk]]) 16:33, December 4, 2013 (UTC) ==love interest for sisko?== Does it actually say it in so many words in the companion and by avery brook or is the latter part of the sentence just personal opinion? Can anyone verify this?

I have an issue with my old tank, which is around 3 years right now and the issue is NO3.
Currently I am forced to do 25-30% water changes twice a week, and this is just enough to keep the NO3 below 10 (which is still way to high!). I have no idea what is causing the NO3 to raise so quickly as there is just around 50 shrimp and nothing more.
The tank is 30L (8 gal), inert substrate, heavily planted, I add no fertilizers.
Plants are duckweed, anubias, cryptocoryne, and eleocharis parvula carpet.
Two HOB filters - one is sponge, the other one is small sponge + peat + JBL nitratex + seachem matrix (I added two weeks ago, as this thing is supposed to bring down nitrates, but so far no results).
For water changes I use salty shrimp GH +, Azoo Triple Black Water, Azoo Mineral Plus(every second week) and Azoo Ph Down, to adjust the pH of the water that goes into the tank with what's already there.
As for bacteria I add seachem pristine, and seachem stability once a week around 2ml of each.
Feeding is once per 2-3 days, small amounts that gets eaten in a few hours.
So I had that issue already around 5 months back and what I did is bought the JBL bionitratex and added duckweed, and it did solved the problem but to get a good result I had to use two bags of the JBL product for a single tank (the product comes with 4 bags total). Now this thing is quiet expensive imo for the time it lasts, so I would like to ask for any other options to keep the NO3 in check, as the plants are clearly not able to handle that.
From my observations - there is a substantial amount of muck in the substrate, but since the tank is heavily planted I cannot vacuum it.
If needed I can provide some pictures of the tank.
Your help greatly appreciated !

Hey SKF,
I've recently started adding 2ppm of nitrates to my weekly/fortnightly waterchanges as my tank constantly had zero nitrates and my plants were looking hungry. The product I use is cal aqua labs green.
I'd like to know what people's experiences or opinions are on whether small amounts of fertiliser can be added to shrimp tanks WITHOUT dripping it in slowly (as in a typical waterchange which is what I'm currently doing)
In other words; if I directly dose the 1 or 2 ppm worth of nitrates to my aquarium without slowly dripping it into the tank would it have any negative impact on the health and/or breeding of crystal or tiger shrimps?
love n peace

Every easter i make my way to a random corner of the US to meet up with many a fellow silly pink bunnies. this year it was Portland, OreDon. it happened.
my travel partners in crime:
tim nargis.
tim has a teat on his elbow.
boy toucher anonymous. i've been auditioning for a lot of movie parts lately so i decided to have my teeth fixed.
the best (and worst) part about stopping at random skateparks are the people that hang out there. this guy was overweight, wearing tight jeans, a hipster belt and a parka vest with a hood, and roller blading around the park. the two funniest parts about it were that he would only stop to talk on his cell phone and that he skated more than i did.
some healthy road snacks. i prefer mechanically separated chicken over manually separated chicken.
one of my first spb moments was isaac in a semi-coma on the couch at a friends house.
after arriving, we got tired pretty fast from the drive and consuming alchoholic beverages (while doing 'the pot') so we settled into our hotel room and dreamt of things to cum.. on.
the first day there we had some personal gang time at the nike skatepark. free food, free beer and free skating... oh da schnapp! i'm gonna have to do some roll call action so if you already know these dewdz, scroll down a bit.
this here is charles. i ran into him and his lady friend on haight street a couple of years ago, and while we were catching up, i noticed a guy leaning against a building staring at his lady's buttock. after a couple more glances i realized the guy had his cock out and was rubbing one out on the spot while checking out her rump! so rad. i was thinking of doing the same thing but i knew charles would've noticed.
one of these dragonette's takes photos. i'm pretty sure it's the bottom one.
a different jeremiah.
the man that helped start the gang and has kept it going for over 15 years, mr. j. fish.
d5 dislocated his thumb and had another don pull that fucker back into place.
george of buzzard fame.
i'm not sure why the video quality is so bad but here's some drunken skating...
this is also charlie makin friends with an alleyoop.
i took this just so i could have a photo of andreas' ass to stare at late at night. you might recognize him from his educational features such as how to stuff a mouse and homemade tattoos.
gooch gettin frontsidie.
brian's singular extension.
i requested some teat and was rewarded. nice one, the one on the left.
later that night we went to the creature video premiere. these are the only two photos i found of it.
we had to stop for alchohol before before the stores closed and i figured out real quick that portlands alchohol purchasing laws are straight fuckin wacky. you have to give the cashier dewd your drivers license (id's don't count), which earns you a key to access the beer, but only one person can go at a time. the chunky, weird looking dewd at the end of this video is probably 40 years old and retarded and he got denied on a technicality.
if i owned a bar i would give free drinks to anyone that had retarded.
last call was at a bar near our hotel that had a mechanical bull... enough said.
heath ledger was hanging out in the lobby.
so was this brokeback mountain movie poster.
most dewds would probably think two chicks on a mechanical bull is hot. i just pictured these girls getting supersized at a drive-thru window in a iroc z-28.
it's a lot harder to ride a mechanical bull than i thought. if you last more than 15 seconds, and you're a dewd, you're probably gay. except for jeremiah, of course, cause he has ninja skills.
...a few piks i took that night.
pretty weird, right?
so that's part 1. i think this will only be a 2 part deal and i'm gonna make it happen soonish (really). part 2 has a plethora of strippers and some vomiting.

Glasgow Return Preparer Sentenced To 18 Months In Federal Prison For Preparing False Income Tax Returns
– Knowingly claimed false deductions and expenses resulting in a tax loss of over $450,000
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A Glasgow, Kentucky federal tax return preparer was sentenced in United States District Court today by Chief U.S. District Judge Joseph H. McKinley, Jr., to 18 months in prison, followed by one year of supervised release, for aiding and assisting in the preparation of false income tax returns, announced David J. Hale, United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky.
On April 11, 2012, a Bowling Green, Kentucky grand jury returned a thirty-five count Indictment against Greg P. Denham, age 48, alleging he knowingly assisted in the preparation of materially false federal tax returns. Denham formerly owned and operated Accounting and Tax Professionals in Glasgow, Kentucky.
On November 19, 2012, Denham pleaded guilty to all 35 counts of the Indictment, admitting that between February 2006 and May 2009, he knowingly prepared individual income tax returns that misrepresented expenses and under-reported taxes owed by taxpayers. The indicted returns were prepared for tax years 2005 through 2008. The returns in question claimed business expenses that Denham knew the taxpayers did not actually incur, or that were not actual business expenses. The total tax loss resulting from fraudulent tax returns Denham prepared, including tax returns not listed in the Indictment, was over $450,000.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David Weiser and was investigated by the IRS, Division of Criminal Investigation.

With his documentary about the Berlin Hansaviertel the young Berlin-based film-maker Marian Engler created a chronicle piece about an example of successful and forward-looking architecture in post-war Germany. The film consists of impressive views of houses by Oscar Niemeyer, Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto and others. With interviews of time-wittnesses of the 50's as well as young residents of the Hansaviertel and architects, among them Oscar Niemeyer himself, Marian Engel tries to figure out if the concept of the 'city of tomorrow' works, after all. The film is in German language with English subtitles.
Here the synopsis:
In 1957 the first International Construction Exhibition after the war took place in Berlin.
At the "Interbau'57" 64 world famous architects of the classical modernism came together to realise their vision of a "city of tomorrow". Under them visionists like Le Corbusier, Oskar Niemeyer, Walter Gropius and Arne Jacobsen.
They did not only want to provide new flats for the bombed out residents. With their plan of a green city-landscape they wanted to create a peaceful and democratic society.
The documentary shows the beginning and the history of the Hansaviertel. It is dedicated to the people who live there today and asks for the success of an international praised role model for town construction. But can you find the high ideological requirements of progress, democracy and freedom in the heads of the people who live there today?

Every week, Pizza Girl (Diary of a Pizza Girl) stops by with insights and a behind-the-scenes look into the world of pizza-delivery drivers. Today, Pizza Girl takes a day off from delivery tales and gets her fingers in the flour at home. Think of it as PG's My Pie Monday but two days early. Take it away, Pizza Girl! —The Mgmt.
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to make my own pizza for the very first time. Addie Broyles, a food blogger for Austin360, asked to photograph my fridge (my fridge right now contains
four beersthree beers, two jars of jelly, and a leftover slice of pizza) for one of her weekly segments; I suggested that we make pizza instead, since she's a local food expert. She did an awesome write-up of the experience on her blog Relish Austin, which you should definitely check out.
What's New On Serious Eats
I knew that I wanted to make pizza using local ingredients because they would be the freshest and because I wanted to visit one of the area farmers markets (another first for me). The farmers market was much more laid back than I expected and it was great to have Addie there to provide some guidance on what we would need. For the basics we picked up locally grown and milled flour, fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, broccoli, some chartreuse colored peppers (I don't know what the formal name is), and red onions. When we got home we also picked some basil out of her garden.
The initial plan was to lay sliced tomatoes on top of the crust directly (no sauce), but after I mangled the tomatoes slicing them we decided to make a sauce. I know most of you know this (I didn't!), but sauce is super easy to make. I think the trick that I've been missing is the olive oil that she dolloped (drizzled?) in before the tomatoes.
Despite only being so-so as far as pizzas go, I'm incredibly proud of this pizza. The crust was too dense (probably due to us not letting the dough rise for long enough) and too salty, but the grainy texture of the wheat flour worked really well with the broccoli flavor. The best part was the fresh mozzarella and the broccoli. I'd never had broccoli on a pizza before, but it acquired a nice flavor when cooked in the cheese.
I can't wait to make more pizza and improve my skills.

This is the rest of my BB order. Although I didn't have the intention of keeping these for myself now that I have had to I am not overly disappointed. I find the majority of BB shades warm toned so it's nice to have a completely cool toned eyeshadow palette. This offers various versions of grays and a white. I don't think pigmentation is that good especially with the 2 sparkly shadows, which seem mostly sparkles and the 3 metallic eyeshadows. This aside you can get some nice looks with this and all the colours go well together so you don't have to put much thought into a look.
There are also 4 sparkly lip glosses in it which are mostly sheer (especially pink mist and chrome pink) and too sticky for my liking.
Overall if you like your cool toned shadows this is a nice albeit quite expensive option but I just can't seem to get much of a variant of looks with this considering it has 10 shadows as I think a lot of them apply quite similar.
I also have the Plum Pearl Metallic Lip Color, I found it hard to get a good photo of this. It's a very cool toned brown plum, I don't think it's the most wearable shade as its such a cold colour but I have worn it a few times and it does go well with the palette.

Hi Shifa,ReplyDelete
It would probably make a nice Christmas gift. Thanks for your comment.
Do you find the eyeshadow crease?ReplyDelete
Hi Music,ReplyDelete
I don't find they crease ( I use them over TF shadow insurance) but I do find that the colours fade and they don't blend as well as I would like
I thought so. Thanks! :)ReplyDelete

(JTA) — Armed, masked men threatened to burn down the house of one of Ukraine's chief rabbis, a spokeswoman from his office said.
The incident outside the Kiev-area residence of Rabbi Yaakov Dov Bleich occurred on May 23 at 1:30 a.m., Inna Yoffe, the executive director of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, told Ukrainian media last week.
Bleich, the confederation's president, was not in the country at the time of the attack, which ended without serious injury, Yoffe told the television channel 112 Ukraine two days after the reported attack.
"There was an attack on a paramilitary guard outside the fence in front of the house," she said. "The attackers were wearing masks and camouflage uniforms with machine guns; they arrived by an SUV."
Yoffe said the attackers forced the guard to lie face down on the ground and told him they would kill him and burn down the house. She did not say how many men threatened the guard.
The men fled the scene after another guard from inside the residence called the police, Yoffe added. The Jewish Confederation of Ukraine filed a complaint with police over the assault.
Contacted by JTA, Bleich said the men who showed up outside his home did not target him specifically. According to his understanding, the rabbi said, the attack was not anti-Semitic.

The Prowler III is a modified version of the Premier II. This superb defensive handgun includes a tapered cone stub weight.
This cartridge was developed by John Browning and was adopted by the United States Ordnance Department along with the Colt-Browning automatic pistol in 1911. It has also been made the official military handgun chambering by several other governments, notably Argentina, Mexico and Norway. The 45 Automatic is the most powerful military handgun cartridge in use today. This is a heavy and powerful sub-sonic round. Although its muzzle energy can exceed 400 ft-lbs, its velocity and bullet weight creates a steep trajectory curve that limits its effective range to self-defense distances.
There are currently no user comments for this handgun.

How private detectives work
Thanks to television series, books, and movies, many people have come to create an idea in their minds about how private detectives work.
We imagine them working in a messy office, with little light and full of tobacco smoke, located in an area of the city very little traveled, where it receives a series of clients. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Generally, his work is related to the search for evidence of certain facts. To do this, he obtains valuable information from witnesses, sometimes with the help of false pretensions and identifications.
Search buildings, take photographs, follow witnesses and put your 5 senses to find clues that others may have missed. At times, their curiosity has led them to get into serious dangers and manage to escape when they have been caught in unexpected places. But, at the end of the whole, he returns to his client, letting him know that he has solved his case. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Many fictional detectives have managed to contribute their bit to create this image on how private detectives work, including of course the famous Sherlock Holmes, Philip Marlowe, Hercules Poirot and different protagonists of the film noir of the 40s and 50s.
Some researchers deprived of current culture, such as Veronica Mars or Adrian Monk, have also influenced their own form, but they are often much more extravagant than their predecessors. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
They do not have their office in sinister buildings, they do not wear felt hats, and they have stopped self-proclaiming themselves as private investigators. However, they still look like heroes in front of the audience because they always have a trick to expose information about the case at the right time.
But is all this true? How much of the movies we've seen is true? In this article, we want to show you how private detectives work and what your work really involves. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Basic Concepts and activities of a Private Investigator
Essentially, private investigators are people who are paid for the search, verification, and processing of information. They work for private individuals and companies. Your job is to gather information, not stop or prosecute the criminals.
Private investigators have existed for over 150 years, Pinkerton Detective Agency; the most famous agency in the USA was founded in 1850. It achieved fame by breaking strikes, but also made several contributions in the fields of law enforcement and research. It also gave rise to the concept of police file and the term "private detective" that came from its original logo. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Today, a quarter of private investigators in the US are self-employed. Another quarter works for law enforcement and security Companies. The rest work for financial institutions, credit, collection services and other businesses. Many choose to specialize in a specific field based on their background and training. For example, someone with a business degree could become a business researcher. A researcher with experience in patents and trademarks could focus on the theft of intellectual property and a public accountant specializes in fraud and financial investigation. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Many commercial establishments hire detectives to prevent and investigate theft and theft. Although the position does not always include the word "investigator" or "detective", these employees generally do research work. Some hotels and casinos also employ detectives to protect clients and help investigate thefts or misdemeanors that occur within the property. In some cases, these investigators also serve as security guards.
Although in real life clients are not damsels in distress of marital infidelity, case types often include background investigations, surveillance, uncovering clues, or searches for missing persons. They can also go after the search for legal documents, notify people of their participation in legal proceedings. In the US, this is part of the due process guaranteed in Amendments V and 14 of the Constitution. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Activities of a Private Investigator
Tasks vary depending on the experience of a detective. Someone who specializes in intellectual property investigates the theft, counterfeiting or usurpation of a trademark. In New York, for example; some owners hire investigators to determine if their tenants are violating leases. In such cases, the investigators seek physical evidence, violations or infractions such as subletting or using the residence for purposes other than those established in the contract.
Finding the perpetrator of an unresolved crime may seem to have little in common with a background check or finding reasons for a tenant's eviction. But all of them involve the same basic task: gathering information and organizing the facts. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
The solution of a case begins with planning and analysis, every researcher must:
- Discuss the case with the client and determine if it is legal, ethical and possible to resolve. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Prepare a plan and a budget to gather the necessary information. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Execute the investigation and collect the evidence. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Analyze the evidence. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Inform the client of the results.
A good private investigator uses multiple sources of information to solve a case. The most common source is surveillance and monitoring. The basic idea behind surveillance is simple – follow the objective where you are going and with whom you meet. In fact, the surveillance may not be so simple, it is usually a long, tedious process and with no possibility of rest. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Surveillance often involves skill with a camera and long hours in the car.
They can also interview suspects and witnesses, although the person interviewed has no legal obligation to speak with the investigator.
For this reason, the process often involves time spent building relationships around the interviewee. In addition, some investigators use pretexts or tricks to obtain information from people who might otherwise be reluctant to talk to them. But cheating for information may have some legal and ethical implications. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Public records are another source of information, in many of these citizens can access by themselves. However, private investigators generally know who to ask and how to access information easily. These investigations usually include:
- Tax records. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Real estate purchase and sale operations. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Records of births, marriages, and deaths. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Court proceedings. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Electoral records, social security among others. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
- Licenses or permits. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
In addition to collecting information, private investigators know how to analyze it and present it to their clients. The private investigator and the law When a private detective puts on a cap with the logo of a cable company in a television series, he takes a folder and asks questions about When a neighbor will be at home, he is using a ruse to obtain information. This technique is known as pretexts and ruses, and while it is not always illegal, critics argue that it is often unethical. Others claim that the end justifies the means – if a disguise and false identification is used to clarify a case – then it was worth the risk. However, in some cases, this technique could be in contravention of the law: In the US, like other parts of the world, using false pretenses and tricks to gain access to a person's telephone records or to Obtaining information from a financial institution is a violation of federal law. Another common scenario in detective stories involves intrusion or burglary. In most countries, entering private property without the permission of the owner or tenant is illegal. For this reason, private investigators usually carry out property surveillance in public areas to avoid legal problems. In other cases, listening or monitoring the private telephone using recording devices or wiretapping is also usually illegal. Some critics they believe that the work of private investigators is an invasion of the privacy of the people. A series of laws and constitutional amendments protect the privacy of people in many countries around the world. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
What is the work of a private detective?
The first step to separate fiction from reality is only to define what it means to be a private detective. Private detectives are the people who charge for meeting certain requirements.
Unlike investigators of crime scenes or police detectives, they work on their own for companies or individuals, rather than for public administrations. Even though their services help solve crimes, they are not official bodies of the law. Your work is limited to getting information and not arresting or arresting criminals. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
That is why private detectives are not the heroes that we believe they are. Actually, they work on their own or for private detective Companies.
Depending on the studies or field in which the detective has specialized, he will be assigned to one or another area of research, which is why the detective Companies usually have experts in each of the main areas, so that, in this way, they can offer a professional service. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Private detectives in a divorce
In matters of divorce, private detectives are one of the best options for any of the parties to the litigation. Currently, the number of cases of disagreement between the couple that is close to separation makes it virtually necessary the presence of a detective to provide evidence that one of the two involved is lying or not able to meet certain obligations.
In general, this person is hired by one or both parties and their role in the litigation is fundamental, especially when there are children involved and they want to discuss the amount of support or custody of these. The judge must, in addition to reaching an agreement with people close to divorce, carefully study each test and decide their decision based on them. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Private detectives and their importance in cases of infidelity
It is very common that when one of the spouses alleges the infidelity of the other, he denies it by all means, for this reason, the affected party seeks the help of a detective who can collect, based on their experience and working methods. , the necessary indications that serve as proof of the infidelity of the other spouse. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
They are very requested to solve problems related to the maintenance and custody of minors
The case can be presented that the couple who is divorcing have children within the marriage and want to discuss partial or complete custody. The problem lies in the ability to have each, both monetarily and psychologically and, taking into account that the upbringing of a child is not simple, you have to show which of the two is more suitable to have custody of the child (ren). Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
The detective has the job of investigating the financial capacity of the parents, if they are fully responsible for the child's care and if they fulfill their psychological responsibilities demanded by a child, etc.
It's what we do at Larry Detectives; we help you through the divorce process. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
It also takes into account the work of a detective to modify the decisions of the judge
In the remote case that the judge has issued a favorable decision for one of the spouses and it turns out that the latter does not fulfill the responsibilities for which he or she would have committed, the detective presents the evidence and a final report of his investigation and from there the modifications. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
Simplified divorce
The divorce, therefore, is the legal or religious dissolution of the marriage by agreement between both parties or by the violation of any of the matrimonial rights or obligations. The legislation usually provides protection for both women and children born during the bond.
When the law or religion does not allow divorce, the separation takes place in fact, with no other support than the dissolution of the relationship and the estrangement of both people. A simplified divorce is an inexpensive way to end a marriage. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.

There cannot be any minor or dependent child born of their marriage and the wife cannot be pregnant. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.

Laws that protect the privacy in the U.S
There can be no doubt about the fundamental dimension that privacy has achieved in the constitutional system of the United States. The analysis of the diachronic process of conceptualization and constitutional protection that is concluded here reveals the growing tendency to guarantee privacy as a fundamental good in the scale of juridical-constitutional interests. Interests related to the individual sphere and formulated in terms of secrecy, solitude, autonomy, personality development, freedom of choice in personal matters and control of personal information, so that privacy is the foundation and guarantee of fundamental freedoms, so cases of wiretapping and electronic surveillance of the Fourth Amendment and guarantees against self-incrimination of the Fifth Amendment. Likewise, the rights to abortion or the performance of consensual homosexual practices between adults were forged by requiring privacy spheres constitutionally protected by the substantive freedom of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Consequently, the right to privacy is unique in the constitutional system of the United States, since it can only be granted at the expense of other fundamental freedoms expressly recognized in the United States Constitution, inextricably linked and intertwined by the same right to privacy. Thus, the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments give foundation to different facets of privacy, so that constitutionally the right to privacy is linked to four of the first ten Amendments, to five of the fourteen first, and the "emanations derived from the penumbra areas" to the entire Bill of Rights. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
In short, the protection of privacy is a foundational presupposition of the existence of an active and participatory citizenship, the very essence of the democratic State. If a private life protected by undesirable interference allows free development of the personality if the protection of privacy fosters the development of individual autonomy and personal self-determination, all aspects that ultimately promote a more active and participatory citizenship, its protection is also a determining criterion of the democratic character of every society. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
A society under surveillance becomes a conformist and passive society that alienates the democratic system itself. The protection of individual privacy thus contributes to the vitality of the sphere public and therefore to political and social dynamism. Hence, the constitutional protection of the privacy zones that ensure our individual autonomy is, at the same time, a condition and guarantee of the democratic system. Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.
This is, in short, the foundation that rests in the defense of the privacy of Judge Douglas in Osborn v. United States, when it affirmed that the constitutional recognition of large zones of privacy safe from any external interference constitutes the foundational presupposition of every free society157. For everything, nothing better than to conclude with the terms used by the same judge Douglas in 1952, affirming with him that «the right to be left alone is the principle of all freedom». Private investigator Companies Miami Beach South Beach.

Two former "American Idol" judges are going to be reunited.
Paula Abdul will be returning to judge with Simon Cowell on the latter's "X Factor" talent show, a source with knowledge of the negotiations, told The Associated Press.
Abdul had been rumored to join the program, but confirmation was stalled because of the negotiations, said the source, who spoke anonymously because FOX and The X Factor producers have not publicly commented on it.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Abdul's reps did not return comment.
Along with Cowell, Abdul had been the original judge on Idol until she departed from the highly successful program until 2009. Her most recent venture on TV was CBS' "Live to Dance" show, which tanked. A CBS source, who also spoke under condition of anonymity, said that Abdul has been excused from any additional obligations.
Earlier yesterday, E! News confirmed that the hosts of "The X Factor" will be former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger and British TV host Steve Jones.

My holiday to Cape Verde was amazing and a lot of that was to do with the location. Number 4 was in such a great place - I couldn't have asked for anything better. It was a real gem to literally wake up on the beautiful beach of Sal. Cape Verde will be my holiday hot spot and I would definitely want number 4 if I returned. Charlene-July 2009
Walking through these islands is like giving a blind man eyes

Financial stress can quickly slip into financial anxiety, as Christian counselor Jeremy Lelek has seen in his practice. Communication, relationships, and transparency can dry up before couples realize it.
"As people are recognizing the reality of financial strain, it's obviously increased stress in their lives," he says. "[There is] a lot of discouragement, a lot of depression, a lot of anxiety as a result of the financial situation that we're facing right now."
And the solution to financial anxiety requires more than a sermon.
"What does it mean to be anxious? That means I'm anticipating a negative outcome. That's why we have to change our whole mindset," says Deborah Pegues, author of "Financial Survival in Uncertain Times."
Pegues and Lelek agree that financial peace depends on much more than the state of the economy or personal finances.
The road to peace in the midst of economic anxiety can be a long one, but everyone can take the first steps to develop a practical, faith-filled response.
Step One: Recognizing Denial
"The truth hurts and we don't want to face that truth," says Pegues
Denial can easily become the de facto choice because of financial illiteracy, entrenched habits, and mounds of debt. So for some, the first step is simply recognizing how much you don't know.
Until job loss forces people to take a look, Pegues say, it's easy to ignore potential problems. Afterwards, when the panic has set in, it's almost too late.
Taking a couple hours now to assess living expenses and basic financial responsibilities can prepare you emotionally as well as financially. Even though honest assessment can be humbling, the process can reduce uncertainty and help people strategize.
"It's almost easier to shut your eyes to all the practicals and say, 'I'm just going to trust God!', put your fingers in your ears, hum a happy song and try to trust God in the middle of this," says Pastor Ken Delage of Kingsway Community Church in Midlothian, Va.
"For me, the hardest place to be is engaged with the details, seeing really what's going on, and trusting God at the same time," he says.
To combat denial – and fear – Kingsway hosted Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University for its congregation and the surrounding community. The financial classes allow people to brush up on their personal finance knowledge, but also encourage the viewpoint of "stewardship" instead of "ownership."
The church leadership discovered that the class not only helped people steward their resources better, but the classes also gave them a greater sense of community.
"[T]his has brought fellowship into a new arena of finances," Delage said. "Because finances tend to be fairly private, even in a church that has a high value on being open and being real genuine with each other."
Step Tw Resisting Isolation
Once people face up to their financial situation, Pegues says, the pendulum can swing in the opposite direction: penny-pinching withdrawal.
The restaurant and recreation industry have taken a hit in the last few months as people have significantly cut back on the number of times a week they go out. The problem, Pegues notes, is that cutting back on the food and entertainment budget has some unintended consequences.
"The interesting thing about the crisis it that it has caused some of us to stop fellowshipping and interacting with people because we say, 'I can't afford it,'" Pegues says. "Well, do you really have to meet for breakfast? Why don't you just meet for a walk? And still have the fellowship?"
Being open about your circumstances instead of withdrawing can open the door for encouragement, and cultivates a communal willingness to be honest in financial struggles. And, as Pegues notes, letting those needs be known can be the very thing that allows someone else to step in with help.
"Sometimes the church has been an expert at hiding when we're struggling. But I do a see a change and a trend in the church where we're being more and more open with our struggles, which is a good thing," Lelek said.
Financial seminars like those offered by Dave Ramsey or Crown Financial can help open the conversations, Lelek said, helping people see the universality of their financial troubles or lack of financial grounding. In a sense, these classes are group counseling sessions applied to finances.
"There's a sense of camaraderie. There's a sense of support just from being able to rub shoulders with those who are struggling just like you are," he said.
For Kingsway, discovering that one family's problems were shared by another only encouraged the church fellowship.
"The conversations are nonstop. When two folks are together from Kingsway who are going to this class, that's what you'll hear them talking about," Delage said. People realize that "this is a church full of people like me in finances. And we're not all superstars… we're all struggling through this together."
Step Three: Deciding to Look Outward
Financially-triggered anxiety and depression are all "episodes where we just sort of implode on ourselves. We get consumed with our own circumstances." Lelek says. Once people have assessed their situation, they need to quit dwelling on it and look beyond their own circumstances.
As head of the Association of Biblical Counselors, Lelek encourages people to get up and get out. For counselors, this means might mean volunteering with a client to broaden their perspective. For individuals, it means staying involved in the local church and with their neighbors, watching for their needs. Volunteering a homeless shelter or other ministry fills up time once spent in more costly pursuits, while keeping feelings of entitlement at bay.
"I don't think this is a time to be so selfish that we say I'm going to meet my needs and nobody else's because I'm going to think about me," Pegues said.
Continuing to give – with time, finances, and relationships – to the local church and community helps keep the focus off your problems and on your blessings, she said.
"When you talk about the famines in the Bible – the economic downturns – people were blessed when they gave in the famine. Like the woman who fed Elijah," Pegues said.
The call to give should be lived out whatever the economy looks like, Lelek notes, but Christians get a special opportunity to reprioritize during tough times.
"Financial strain cannot stop us from living out the commands that we as Christians are called to live out, which is to love God and neighbor," he said. Nothing can restrain us from that except from our decision not to do it."
Step Four: Changing Assumptions
Most of all, Pegues says, people need to get rid of preconceived notions about wealth. Otherwise, that unwillingness to change will let old attitudes creep back in.
"It's not, 'Woe is me I'm so used to all this stuff,'" Pegues she said. "It's like, "Hey you know what this is a new season, we're freeing up. We're throwing things overboard that we don't need. We're going to be free now!'"
That attitude change toward "stuff" necessarily includes changes in big spending habits. But questions needs to go much deeper, says economist Dr. John Stapleford, and reassess common American assumptions about work.
Today, retirees aim for years of a second childhood of sorts, including a trip to Europe, and ample time for hobbies– all assuming they'll live the same upper-middle class lifestyle they did before retirement. Stapleford, author of "Bulls, Bears and Golden Calves," points out that this cultural norm has only materialized in the last two generations.
In contrast, those who lived during the Great Depression assumed they would work as long as they were able.
"That's the way it was. Our expectations have changed so significantly."
Stapleford points to the thousands of Christians around the world who live a subsistence life and face persecution. "Does it make sense to have jetskis and so forth when you've got people all over the world who are Christians and living in just terrible distress and dying of hunger?"
That open-handed attitude towards finances reinforces the crucial point – "that we don't own anything," Pegues says.
"We're just managing God's resources. Now more than ever we've got to have that mindset."

New gadgets, developments in science, political winners and losers - all of them are fair game for the New Year predictions lists.
But Future has often wondered if there is ever any consensus around these predictions and, if so, which are the ones that most people are backing.
So, once all the predictions were in, we started to crunch the data.
Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at over 2,000 sources to try to come up with the top 20 predictions of the year – those where there was a consensus of opinion.
Along the way we had to discard sources that came up with predictions that no one else was backing or where people were unwilling to take a stand on an issue.
For example, we all thought the future of the euro would feature heavily in the list. But as we sorted through the sites it soon became clear that very few sources were willing to commit one way or another.
In other areas, we found remarkable consensus around topics that had never even occurred to us (who knew everyone here at the Future offices would be wearing peacock feathers this season?).
Have a look and if you think we have missed anything let us know on our Twitter or our Facebook page.
And if you want to check out the data we used to create the graphic, it is here.

As much of the Baltimore region shut down, some businesses made sure they could stay open — come hurricane and high water.
The Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel brought in sandbags, ordered $30,000 in extra food and arranged for employees to stay overnight for the duration of the storm. The owner of Kooper's Tavern and two other Fells Point bars prepared to put his workers up Monday and Tuesday nights in his bed-and-breakfast, conveniently emptied by cancellations. Safeway rearranged shifts as it trucked in ice and extra bottled water to its grocery stores.
And Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant pushed ahead with its unfortunately timed grand opening Monday in Harbor East, relying on workers who live close enough to the Baltimore neighborhood to get in and back without problems.
"We'd much rather be opening to a nice, bright, sunny day," said Arthur Forgette, regional manager for Gordon Biersch.
But with dire weather forecasts and large-scale shutdowns — schools, government offices, the New York Stock Exchange, public transportation and the Port of Baltimore's public marine terminals, to name a few — many companies threw in the towel. And that was before Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake declared that all city roads would be closed to nonemergency travel from 6 p.m. Monday until at least noon Tuesday.
Starbucks closed nearly 1,000 coffee shops between Virginia and Maine by 4 p.m. Monday. McCormick, the Sparks spice maker, shut down at noon. General Motors' White Marsh plant let its early shift employees go two hours early, canceled the late shift and planned on remaining closed Tuesday. And a number of downtown offices were weekend-vacant, or close to it.
"The streets are pretty empty," said Michael Evitts, a spokesman for the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, as he searched for bread and other necessities Monday. (His employer, which runs the downtown benefits district, was closed.) "I think a lot of people have gotten the message loud and clear that this storm is getting worse before it's getting better, and you don't want to be caught out in it."
Some who work for companies that didn't close Monday — or didn't initially plan to close — were not at all happy. Twitter, the social-media site, was replete with complaints.
"The New York stock exchange is closed and I still have to report to work!" one Baltimore resident tweeted. "Something is wrong with this picture! Thanks #Sandy"
Three hours later, she updated: "Someone had an epiphany I'm getting off at 12!!"
Sort-of-closed was common Monday. Baltimore-based investment company T. Rowe Price was largely shut for the day at its local locations, but bond trading took place until noon, so some traders and essential staff worked Monday morning, said spokesman Edward Giltenan.
At Legg Mason, Baltimore's other large investment company, offices were open in the morning and some employees who could walk or drive a short distance were at their desks, said spokeswoman Mary Athridge.
"Most people worked from home," she said, adding that employees can remotely access their desktops.
That meant a lot less potential traffic for Gordon Biersch, the just-opened restaurant — it's next door to Legg Mason. The restaurant had 30 patrons at 12:30 p.m., far from a typical opening day.
"The business impact was pretty major for us … and I imagine it will be the same case tomorrow," Forgette said Monday afternoon. Around 5 p.m., the restaurant was getting ready to close — nearly seven hours early.
A majority of restaurants on Baltimore's east side were shut tight by midafternoon, from Bo Brooks to Sip & Bite. Five Guys in Brewers Hill still was serving burgers, but employees were taking the last orders. The mix of local and chain restaurants nearby was dark, guarded by piles of sandbags in front of the doors.
In Fells Point, a steady stream of people ducked into Kooper's. Most ordered one of the day's special drinks: a hurricane or a dark and stormy.
Owner Patrick Russell said Hurricane Isabel almost did the bar in nine years ago, draining his business savings from $75,000 to $25,000. One of the problems: Water levels rose so high that transformers blew, knocking out his electricity. No power meant no hot water, and no hot water meant he wasn't allowed to sell food. He donated it all to police and other emergency workers.
"I honestly thought I wasn't going to make it," Russell said. "I ended up putting backup generators in my building so if there's another surge like that again, we're good to go."
The Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel has a backup generator, too — plus $30,000 in extra food and thousands of pounds of ice for the freezers. About 75 of its employees slept there overnight Sunday to make sure they would be at the hotel before the storm hit.
But the timing was lousy, not that there's ever a great time for a hurricane.
"We had planned for a very, very busy week, with a lot of groups in the hotel, and unfortunately some of those folks are having a hard time getting in from other cities," said Robert Allen, the hotel's general manager.
There's a winners-and-losers aspect to most bad weather. While the storm will likely cost millions in lost output, productivity and consumer spending, it could give a boost to companies that repair damage, said John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
"Construction workers have had some of the most difficult times in recent years with the housing bust," he said. "So to put some of the carpenters and plumbers and welders and other construction workers back to work when the storm is done is always beneficial to the economy."
And then there are the stores selling bad-weather essentials — busy, busy, busy. Safeway sent truckloads of extra ice to its grocery stores where power outages are expected to be the most severe, including supermarkets in Edgewater, Arnold, Canton, Bel Air, Towson and Ellicott City. After the extra orders of bottled water sold out, the chain was reordering and restocking warehouses for shipments that went out Monday.
Gregory A. Ten Eyck, spokesman for Safeway's Eastern Division, said trucks were able to make it over the Bay Bridge to supply Eastern Shore stores before the winds picked up, but making deliveries anywhere would become more difficult as the storm worsened. Staying at full staff is harder than normal, too.
"So many of our employees rely on public transportation, and that has been a challenge," Ten Eyck said. To make up for shortages, "people are working longer shifts and more frequently."
Dan Lewis, president of Odenton Ace Hardware, stood in his bustling Anne Arundel County store Monday morning and ticked off all the supplies that customers had cleaned him out of over the weekend: flashlights, batteries, generators, tarps, lamp oil, kerosene and battery-operated sump pumps.
He was trying to get resupplied, but items were coming in at a trickle, not a flood. He hoped — fingers crossed — to be fully restocked by Thursday.
"It's typical for a big storm," he said. "People wait almost … till the last minute; then they're in panic mode."

When I spoke with the customer service representative to update my contact information I was giddy. I kept thinking: "What if I have like a thousand bucks in there unclaimed? What if? I started thinking of all the things I'd do with that new found money, and I had quite a list.
Unfortunately, the customer service agent could not tell me how much money was unclaimed, but he did tell me a check would be cut shortly and mailed out to me.
I eagerly awaited that check, and sure enough, after about a week, IT CAME!

The incarcerated are doing their part to help the hungry.
The Maryland Division of Correction says it's selling apples grown at a prison complex near Hagerstown to the Maryland Food Bank.
The agency planned to deliver some of the fruit Monday at the orchard near the Roxbury Correctional Institution.
A spokesman says inmates are harvesting 2,000 bushels of red delicious and gala apples from about 1,200 trees.
The agency says some of the fruit will be served to inmates at the three-prison complex near Hagerstown. And some will be sold to the food bank for 20 cents a pound, or about one-tenth the retail market value.

(CNN) — Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has signed a binding agreement to buy the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion from the Sterling family trust, a source familiar with the situation told CNN on Thursday night.
The sale, negotiated by Shelly Sterling — co-owner with estranged husband Donald Sterling — will have to be approved at a NBA Board of Governors meeting.
And it still may have to be approved by Donald Sterling, according to earlier comments by his attorney.
Maxwell Blecher told CNN earlier that his client wants to be vindicated by the NBA, which is in the process of terminating the Sterlings' ownership in the team for racist remarks Sterling made in an audio recording released online in April.
The NBA has damaged Sterling's reputation, Blecher claimed in a lengthy interview with CNN's "The Situation Room."
"They know he is not a racist," he said.
Blecher said Sterling is troubled by the charges of racism. He thinks of himself as an exemplary owner with a 33-year history of supporting the African-American community, Blecher said.
"He wants to be vindicated. He doesn't want his tombstone to say, 'Here lies Donald Sterling, racist.' And the NBA has the power to make that right," Blecher said, without saying what Sterling wants the league to do.
In April, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Sterling, fined him $2.5 million and prompted the league's other 29 owners to begin proceeding to strip the longtime owner and his wife of the team.
Sterling is considering suing the NBA if he doesn't get the resolution he wants. Blecher said they weren't in a rush to file the lawsuit and were waiting in part in deference to Shelly Sterling as she negotiated the sale.
Biggest NBA deal ever
If the deal goes through, it would be the largest sum paid for an NBA franchise. Last month, the Milwaukee Bucks, a bad team in a small television market, sold for $550 million.
But the Clippers are in the second largest market in the league, albeit one they share with the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most popular teams in professional sports.
The Clippers, however, have been more successful in recent seasons, including this one that ended in the second round of the NBA playoffs. They also have stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. And their TV contract reportedly will expire in 2016.
Ballmer is worth $20 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Another source said Ballmer's offer earlier Thursday was $1.8 billion and Shelly Sterling was hoping to get a price that "started with a two."
A group that included media moguls David Geffen and Oprah Winfrey also made a bid of $1.6 billion, the source told CNN.
The purchase would have to be approved by 75% of the NBA's 30 owners. Last year they denied a sale to a group that included Ballmer that would have resulted in the Kings moving to Seattle, after the league's relocation committee recommended keeping the team in Sacramento.
Donald Sterling has been the controlling owner of the Clippers since buying the team in 1981 for $12 million.
