Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Dutch Chess Federation: 'FIDE rating system threatened'
In a letter to the FIDE Executive Board members, the Dutch Chess Federation expresses its concern about the proposals of the Events Commission for the Executive Board Meeting to be held from 15 to 22 October 2011 in Krakow, Poland. We received the letter as well and publish it here.
Haarlem, 21 September 2011
Dear Mr. President, dear Board Members,
It is with great concern that we have taken note of the proposals of the Events Commission for the Executive Board Meeting in Krakow. We feel that the interests of both chess players and chess organizers will be severely harmed if these proposal were to be accepted. And what is more we think that these proposals are a direct threat to the FIDE rating system – a system that is one of the great success stories of FIDE.
Some years ago the expansion of the FIDE rating system to a larger group of players was discussed in the FIDE Congress. At the time, the Presidential Board assured the delegates that the expansion of the rating system would not lead to higher costs for federations or players. Accepting the proposals of the Events Commission to the Executive Board in Krakow would mean a drastic breach of promise. Studying the proposals it becomes obvious that the tariffs are raised dramatically.
Curiously, the proposals lack any explanation on the necessity of these plans. The income and expenses of FIDE in 2010 were balanced, the administrative costs of the rating process are within the limits of the budget and the proposals do not include a higher standard of service. Indeed, a general philosophy behind the plans is lacking, and, while the present financial situation of FIDE seems healthy enough, there are no reasons given for the excessive increase in tariffs.
Please see the attachment for a detailed explanation of the consequences of the proposals. In conclusion, we would like to summarize:
- The proposals will raise the costs for players, organizers and federations excessively.
- The proposals lack any explanation regarding the necessity of these substantial raises in tariffs. Indeed, no coherent vision is presented.
- The proposals will not bring the 'customers' a higher standard of service. The product remains the same, but the prices are multiplied with a factor 2 or 3.
- The proposals will lead to more bureaucracy and administrative complications; money will have to be transferred back and forth between players, FIDE and national federations.
- The proposals will erode the FIDE rating system, since many tournaments that are now rated will drop out for financial reasons. Likewise, many chess players will not buy a license and will not be rated in the future.
In the interest of the global chess community, we call on the members of the Executive Board of FIDE to turn down these proposals of the Events Commission in the meeting in Krakow.
Yours sincerely,
Eddy Schuyer
President KNSB
Herman Hamers
FIDE Delegate KNSB
Below we give the attachment to the letter from the Dutch Federation:
Discussion of the proposals of the Events Commission
Unfortunately, the proposals contain no comparisons between the costs of the present situation and the proposed situation. When we do make these comparisons, the following substantial raises come to light:
Proposal to charge title fees directly to title holders – annex 33P (amounts in euro)
|Amount now
|Amount proposed
|Adm. Cost
|Net amount
|Raise in %
|Int. Master
|FIDE Master
|Cand. Master
|Int. Arbiter
|FIDE Arbiter
Please note that it is the national federations which are disbursed, while the title fees have to be paid directly by the players and arbiters. So, if federations do not, in turn, disburse their members then the increase is even more disproportionate. The administration costs can be raised to € 150 when the application is receives after the deadline and to € 200 if the application is submitted after the commencement of the Meeting/Congress. These amounts have to be paid by the title holders, but their application has to be checked by the federation and the fee must be refunded through the federation. In the proposal no reasons are given why an increase of hundreds of per cents are proposed, and, indeed acceptable.
Regulations on registration and licensing of players – annex 33D (amounts in euro)
|Costs for player
|Registration fee
|License fee for 1 year
|License fee for life
It is obvious that many chess players will not be willing to pay these license fees. However, if an organizer inadvertently accepts a player without a valid license, the organizer shall be penalized € 50 for every infringement. As a consequence many chess players will not be rated any longer, and many organizers will prefer not to have their events rated. Every year 40% of this amount will be refunded to the federations; federations which require financial assistance receive a larger refund. FIDE takes over the administrative work that national federations are doing now in registering their players, but for a substantially higher amount.
Proposal to charge rating fees directly to the organizers – annex 33O (amounts in euro)
|Type of time control
|Swiss system
|Other – per section/category/group
For a late Rating Report at any stage, a surcharge of 50% shall be levies.
The cost now is € 1 per player in a Swiss tournament. So the charges are raised sevenfold! Again any explanation is lacking. For groups there is at the moment a price (in euro) per category for registration fees.
|Category 0 to 3
|Category 4 to 7
|Category 8 to 10
|Category 11 to 14
|Category 15+
Also in the rating procedure the costs are raised enormously. 40% of the rating fees will be disbursed to the federations. This does not change the cost explosion and will only lead to more administrative red tape.
On top of this all the treasurer proposes to remove the ceiling on tournament fees, which now stands at € 15.000. See annex 5. The costs for reporting tournaments in active countries will thus rise sky- high. Again it is obvious that many tournament organizers will no longer report their tournaments to FIDE. This in turn means a serious erosion of the FIDE rating system.
Regulations on seminars and title award for organizers – annex 33C
The proposal is that a tournament can only be reported by an International Organizer (IO). The costs for the IO's will according to the proposals be raised (amounts in euro). It is questionable whether organizers will be willing to pay these fees to FIDE.
|Costs IO
|Seminar (once)
|Title fee (once)
|License fee (every 4 years)

What the h...?!
This is ridiculous. It is time for an alternative chess organisation.

Anyone interested in buying my FIDE master title (pin and diploma included)? I want to get rid of it, and my price is more fair than FIDE's.
2 years 7 months ago
Just how bad do things have to get before national federations simply walk away from FIDE? Fischer tried in 1975, Kasparov tried repeatedly over the last 25 years, professional players have tried alternative organizations on several occasions, and even Karpov at least tried last year to change it from within (that speaks volumes).
Wake up people! WAKE UP!!! WAAAAAAAAAKKKKEEE UUUUUUUUUUPPPP!!!!

Easy .....so its a its a rip off , lets see the accounts , lets freeze all fide salaries, let get the auditors in
only we cant do any of the above can we ?
2 years 7 months ago
What is all the fuss? and what's the big deal? Aren't prices in all sectors of life going up? I don't see anything wrong with these fees - to me they are quite fair! And even better... 40% gets channeled to the poorer federations! Time to destroy the dominance of the richer federations! Particularly Germany (and Germans) who have always senselessly opposed FIDE and our great President Kirsan! Go Kirsan, Go Kirsan - the man has done more good to chess than any of you will understand! He takes from the rich and powerful and gives to the weaker and poorer...he focuses on the east not the western stuges!
In what sense is it fair if I have to pay 30 euro's extra in order to play in a FIDE-rated tournament each year? (What about club league btw?)
I am a member of the Dutch chess federation and therefor I am a member of FIDE. They have plenty of money, so there's no reason to charge me extra.
2 years 7 months ago
Not surprised. With all the "Rating" mania that's been going on somebody (in this case FIDE) was bound to try to cash in on it. Money. Money. Money. Monaaaay..
Ludo Tolhuizen
2 years 7 months ago
I do not see why I should pay FIDE 10 euro per event (or 30 euro per year) to have my rating calculated -- something I'm not overly interested in at all.
There are advantages in the disappearance of ratings:
* people cannot loose rating points, so are less afraid of losing, possibly leading to more fighting games
* we would get rid of "Swiss on rating' which is so unfairly favourable to stronger players -- I have seen more than once GMs ending in a Swiss with a higher score but lower TPR than IMs, simply because the GMs got much weaker opposition and the IMs were always paired up.
Remco Gerlich
2 years 7 months ago
This sounds like a great business opportunity for people who want to provide a new international rating system. Simple price it only a little bit higher than previously, offer to convert old FIDE ratings for free, and people will flock to it. Easy money.
Kirsan already has 4 new votes coming in!
When will this travesty end?
2 years 7 months ago
Could someone who is more into clarify this to me: do current title holders have to pay too? Or is the price increased just for new title receivers?
Isn't it time for the reasonable national chess federations to finally put their heads together and step out of the FIDE to stop this madness?
I think very simple, but the following steps comes to mind.
1. Copy-paste the current FIDE ratings and titles into the WCF-rating system (world chess federation)
2. Insert a voting regulation for congresses etc. to weigh in the amount of members a national federation has (for example the Comorian Islands has 33, vs the Netherlands around 12000)
3. Insert the whole new WCF-organisation...
2 years 7 months ago
Apparently Kirsan is running out of money... (or maybe his friend Muammar was appointed chief of FIDE-ratings?)
But on a serious note, this is really bad. Kirsan has done quite some bad things in the past as FIDE president, but none of them really ruined chess for national federations and their players as bad as this proposal. Those fees are just ridiculous.
2 years 7 months ago
I guess FIDE computers are really working much harder these days and therefore deserve a raise. :-)
2 years 7 months ago
who are the individuals behind these proposals, listed by name, profession and workplace?
2 years 7 months ago
Yes, if you want to play "official" chess like opens, championships, WCC etc ...
I understand your question, in some day in the future, we can not play a single game without authorization of FIDE, even online.
2 years 7 months ago
Already for team competitions between clubs, you need to be "licensed", i.e. registered for one club. This makes sense to avoid that players represent several clubs, clubs can bring in a "visiting GM" just for one key match, etc. .
But of course anyone can play a private game of chess without license, approval or permission from FIDE (such games will not be rated, that's all). Very similarly, anyone can arrange a private tennis or football match, etc. .
Right now, the only things I pay are the regular membership fee of my club, and occasional fees to tournament organizers. My club pays a fee to the regional or national federation that organizes the leagues. The national federation is a federation of clubs, not single players. The national federation pays a fee to FIDE. FIDE is a federation of federations, not single players. Why should I as a single player pay FIDE? They don't organize anything I participate in. They don't offer any service to me. For what should I pay? For the right to play chess? Maybe some extra fee every time I promote a pawn?
Jonathan O'Connor

I'm the current chairman of the Irish Chess Union. We charge 35 EUR for adult membership, less for children, pensioners and unemployed. This is our only income. So, are we now supposed to pay FIDE 30EUR per year per player? This is madness. I know that the Dutch Chess federation are a rich organisation with an income of more than 1,000,000 EUR per year. But even they can't afford these prices.
If these regulations are passed, then I think Ireland will only register a handful of our top players. We will also stop rating our tournaments, as that will be too expensive. Therefore, FIDE will make less money from Ireland than before.
Also, I can envisage one of the larger national federations offering to rate tournaments from all over the world for the old fee of 1EUR per player. For example, the German chess federation have an excellent website for managing the ratings of their players. I doubt if they would have a problem scaling up from 250,000 players to handle all FIDE rated players currently registered.
The Irish Chess Union will be voting against any proposal that costs us money.
Hello Jonathan,
If you add this maniacal proposal to the complete story: chaotic WC-cycle, totally corrupted presidential elections, president visiting Gadaffi, president claims to be abducted by aliens and several other stories: all in all I can only conclude that FIDE is corrupted and flawed to the bone. In my book, it is time FIDE became history.
I mean, you can solve a lot of things when Kirsan steps down, but probably not all. The statutary rules are just flawed! Major example being the fact that every member federation gets the same number of votes, even if they'd have only 1 member. That's the way dictators like Kirsan (and FIFA president Joseph Blatter) can stay around by aiding some money here and there.
As some other posters have implied, I believe it's time for the member nations (federations) to either step up to FIDE or - in my book preferably - just start/join a new federation initiative and step out of FIDE. I hope the Irish Chess Union will consider this and wonder what your stance is about FIDE in general.

There are alternative rating organizations. For example, Chess Express Ratings in New.York.

its totally insane...but Fide does what it gets away with...so its waiting for another PCA of some kind. Maybe Carlsen could play a role...he voted against the worldcup cycle, we could use a rebel like that.

As has already been mentioned, this is just a proposal to the FIDE Events Commission (whose members are listed on the FIDE site). The proposals have to be approved by this commission and even if they do, they then only go to the Executive Board who have vote on them as well. In fact it is not clear that the Executive Board have the power to approve some of these proposals, and that only the General Assembly (which meets next year) can do so.
Given that there are a number of places these proposals can be voted down, my bet is that they won't go close to being adopted, and they'll die quite quickly in Krakow.
So what? The fact that this even gets through a rough post-brainstorm filter is bad enough. It proves the FIDE is full of villains. In that light, being sure of the proposals getting shot down seems to be a giant leap.

A little story:
Decades ago Argentina was a chess "superpower". Time run, things turn more and more difficult, and then... Barrera became FADA's president. And thanks to him argentinian chess is destroyed (but he said: I am going to vote for Kirsan, he is a friend of FADA and maybe I will have possibilities to enter in the Olympic Comission).
One of his changes were the fees.

We've only had very positive experiences whenever we've played in Poland and look forward to performing there again in the future." A representative for the band pointed out that other projected tour dates had to be deferred in order to build the Ursynalia date into ZZ Top's touring schedule, adding, "Honoring the terms of performance contracts is fundamental to the touring business in every country in which ZZ Top has ever appeared. We regret that the band's fans in Warsaw will not be able to see them there next month but we had no choice in the matter in light of the promoter's non-compliance."

Thank goodness it's starting to get warm! I was going a little crazy with the winter that just didn't seem to want to let go.
I tried a few hobbies....becoming a "Cat Burglar" didn't go to well for me. So I packed that in just as the weather began to break and got the kids out to do some fishing.
My Daughter, Theresa, caught her first Largemouth Bass ever...and a "BIGGIE" to boot, as she joins the ranks of those who've landed "Old Mossy Back"! She was so excited when this biggie grabbed on that she yanked really hard on the pole like I told her too; next thing I knew, I had a 2lb bass catwheeling at my face! So proud of her and her first big catch!
Well, here we are in the THICK of winter. This groundhog had bad news for us...and there's not a lot going on except for cold winds and grey skies. However, there is something I do like about the "3 months of cold" we get here in the 757.
People seem to want to talk more during the winter. It's the next best thing to going insane with cabin fever, I suppose. So, let's talk.
I get a lot of requests for 'where' I am on social media. To me, while I am on all of the 'buzz' platforms I should be, I still find that Facebook is the quickest and easiest way to find me online. Sure if you want to #hashtag everything, there's twitter, pheed, and all the others...but for me, I like how you can have a long and intelligent conversation on Facebook without a million abbreviations and a bunch of 160 charachter limitations.
So if you'd like to find me online, try my Facebook First:
So you probably saw a few blogs ago that I started my invisalign process with Dr.'s Shivar, Peluso, & Andersen at Orthodontics, and I'm pretty excited!
During the last blog about this, I told you how Jen had taken the imprints of my teeth and sent them off to the lab. A few weeks later, Kim (the Patient Coordinator), called me to have a look at the video at the bottom....Check it out!
After they took my imprints, they generated a computer model of the invisalign process to correct my teeth. From there, the 'trays' were made, and then Dr. Peluso called me back in for my first fitting. Pretty slick!
Here is what my first set of trays looked like:
They popped right on to my teeth and fit like a glove (er, uh, I mean...like an Invisalign tray). They felt a little odd for the first day (I'm being honest, here), and after the third day, I didn't even know they were there at all! Every few weeks, I'll go back to the office and get a new set of trays as the process continues. I'll keep you posted, for sure.
Meantime, want a shot at a free $250.00 Visa Gift Card? Seriously, no strings attached! All you have to do is LIKE the FACEBOOK page of Dr.'s Shivar, Peluso, & Andersen and you're qualified; that's it...and you're welcome!
Here it is, week 3 of 2014...I see everyone's posts on Facebook (click here to come to mine), and thought I would share how week 3 of my resolution is going. :)
2014 is going to be an exciting here at at 94.9 The Point with more amazing concerts (already excited about Fall Out Boy/Paramore at The Farm on 7/22)...so be sure you check out our concerts page to find out what's happning and how to get free tickets!
The kids are getting BIG...Charlie just turned 10 and bought a truck.....
Well, not really, but, he did sit in this one and asked if I could buy it; I showed him
a nice scooter instead. "Dad's going to be riding this to work, Charlie", I said.
Theresa just joined running club and asked me to join as her "Run Buddy"...I asked her why she couldn't join BINGO club as the last time Dad ran, it was through a field with a spot-light chasing him and the distant sound
of bloodhounds closing in....
Nevertheless, I joined the run club and my first 8K is in March!!!
Wish me LIFE!!! Talk soon...and seriously, come by facebook sometimeand let's chat there, too!
So here is where we start with the issue I have had for the past few years. My teeth were always fine...that is until a few years ago when I noticed something was happening.
My bottom teeth were shifting...badly, too. So much so, that earlier this year I was literally BREAKING DENTAL FLOSS trying to floss them in the morning. This was a no-bueno-situation for me. I could literally feel them shifting sometimes and I didn't like pictures with me smiling because I felt like it looked as if I was chewing on automotive transmissions in my spare time. That's when I hit the net and started seeking out solutions. A few clicks in, I found Orthodontics with Dr.'s Shivar, Peluso, & Andersen.
Three weeks later, there I was...staring at this sign.
I met with Dr. Peluso and he told me to shake-off my worry of having to get braces to fix my crooked-crunked-out-teeth. He took a look inside my mouth and said "Chuck, you'd be an awesome candidate for Invisalign and won't need braces". This was good news to me because Invisalign is that clear alignment guard you wear that no one can see and slowly straightens your teeth without the need for additional surgery or extensive apparatus in your mouth. I was pretty stoked. So, I immortalized the moment with a pic of me and "Doctor P" as his staffers call him...great guy, might I add. After the consult we sat around talking about boats and fishing and the old neighborhood (turns out we both were from the same area of the country).
This is Dr. Peluso and I before at the outset of my tooth straightening adventure.
So...we started the process...
"Doctor P" ordered some Xrays of my jaw and that's where I met her...Jen...one of his assistants...who announced to me
"Hi, I'm Jen, your new best friend by the end of today's appointment"
Jen is awesome. She loves music as much as I do, is a sports fan, and has an adorable little girl. Next thing I knew, Jen, was taking some Xrays of my Jaw as we began the process of building a model for the team at Orthodontics to get to work on with straightening my teeth.
Here's Jen telling me to not be a sissy with the Xray machine...it was no sweat.
Xrays done, Jen took me to her chair and showed me some stuff she wanted to put in my mouth to get impressions from...it looked like this:
Jen assured me this would be a breeze...and even asked what flavor I would like to have on my impression compound. "Flavor?", I asked.
"Yeah, Man," she said as she began rattling off a list of flavors she could whip up that rivaled most Ice Cream places I have been to....she had me at Cheesecake.
So, it was in to the chair and Jen got to work taking my impressions.
Within about 15 minutes, Jen had done her good work...I had a blissful taste of Cheesecake to remember it by...and Dr. Peluso rounded the turn.
"You're good to Go...", he started. "We'll give you a call soon and then you can come back in and we'll show you what your teeth are going to look like and get you your first set of alignment trays"
That was it!!!! I was on my way!!! By Spring 2014, I will have corrected my teeth?!?!?!! Yes, that simple.
A couple days later I got an email...which led to the link I want to give you. After Dr. Peluso and his team did some thinking, we talked, and they had a pretty freaking amazing idea. If anyone from The Point wanted to call them, they'd offer a deal you simply couldn't turn down. ....this is where I leave it up to you to click and SAVE BIG for mentioning you either read this, or heard the commercial I do for Orthodontics. I don't do these things often...but when I can thank you for listening by hooking you up...I will....
and stay tuned to this blog, I'll update you on the next step of the "Fixing of Chuck's Grill" with Orthodontics. Thanks Jen, Thanks Dr. Peluso....you guys are mad-cool!
So the guy in this picture is my son making one of his funny faces. It's summer and both he and my daughter, Theresa, are doing the summer camp thing again. They're having fun, and making new friends; a good time to be a kid.
I got a call from his Mom saying Charlie wanted to take me to lunch the other day. WOW! This was one of those moments...MY Son wanted to take ME to lunch?!?! Rock on!
I picked him up from Lego-Camp and we loaded into my car. "So, where would you like to go to lunch, Char?", I asked.
"I want to take you to that Tastey Experts place where your favorite sandwhich is, " he said.
"You mean Taste Unlimited?", I said.
"Yeah, THAT place...I know you like that one sandwich over there", he said with a smile.
Twice I offered to pay, but, Charlie was insistent. "This is on ME, Dad", So, I let the man do as he had wished. There's a lot more to this story...and after I dropped him off, my eyes got really misty as I felt that bucking of a good cry coming on...but, that part needs to wait. I have a full day ahead and the last thing I need is to be walking around with red eyes, so, you'll have to come back for that part of the story. :)
I love my kids dearly...and this was a first...and I'll tell you why, shortly.
I just had a great afternoon at The Ocean View pier that I wanted to share with you.
First, My kids are at camp this week and I miss them terribly already. So I decided to go fishing at the Ocean View pier after work this morning. It was a hot day, but, the tide was on its way out and I knew that I would at least catch a few fish... Hopefully taking my mind off the obvious.
I got out and the catching was, indeed nice. Six nice sized croaker in about ten minutes. Not bad.
A Grandmother and her two children arrived on the pier. Within a few minutes I could tell they were unreasonably unequipped for their outing today. Small poles with standard freshwater rigs...but respectfully, I watched.
After seeing them catch nothing for a while, I walked over, introduced myself, and offered to help. Their Grandmother said "Thank you, Sir" and agreed to let me help.
I re-strung, and rigged their poles gratis with bottom weights, hooks, and bait. Then, magic happened.
Fish after fish, the two Grandchildren screamed " I've got one I got one", as my pole rested dormant. They filled 1/4 of my bucket with 17 additional croaker and spot. I just kept running from pole to pole, unhooking fish, re-baiting, and happy to see the two tykes "nailing" a solid day's catch.
Then, a few hours later, I realized I had to leave. I told them to keep my bucket and my catches as a reward for such a great day. Then Grandma reached for her purse.
"Let me give you something for your time, Chuck", she said.
"You already have," I said. "Thank you for lending me your Grandchildren for a few minutes" I replied.
I could see her face quivering. It was getting uncomfortable for her as she spoke. " I prayed to God for an Angel to help me today; I know how to cook them, but, not how to catch them since their Grandfather passed."
"With my highest respects, Ma'am. Have a fantastic day. Thank you for taking these boys fishing", is all I could muster.
Folks, I am not saying give it ALL away...but once in a while when you do...God gives you just what you need to fill the whole for you, and the belly for others.
Blessed are we.
Well, it's summer...and time to start making those vacation plans!
I like creating memories with my kids, and It had been in my mind for some time to take the kids on a trip I did when I was very young. They're both 'coming of age' as far as the early years go. Charlie is 9, and Theresa is 7; they're becoming their own people...and so it was with that spirit I decided it was 'time' for the trip.
Destination: NIAGARA FALLS, NY
When I was a kid, my Dad loaded us up in an old car with tents and blankets and we camped out near the falls. Even though I was very young, I can still remember that sound. You never forget it, the sound of millions of gallons of pristine water crashing to a misty wonder hundreds of feet below that creates one of the Wonders of the World.
However, this time...older myself and having saved since 2008 for this trip, our journey will be slightly different. Meet The Doud Family RV I have rented for a week this August.
This is the C-Class RV...complete with 2 queen sized beds, 2 full sized beds, a galley, bathroom, shower, fridge, and microwave. I asked them to take the TV out and they obliged. It's powered by a V10 gas engine (not diesel) and is capable of up to a week of "boondocking" with no campsite. We however, rented a campsite with electric and water just to not have to ration water and electric supply when needed.
This will be remembered as "THE TRIP"...and I'll keep you updated on the progress as things get closer.
My eyes well up as I type this...I did it...a middle aged man's dream of creating a trip so unique in travel and experience that Clark W. Griswold would approve.
Niagara...The Doud's are coming...See you this August!
Tis the season for those flying blood-sucking little bugs we love to hate....MOSQUITOS!!!! RUN!!! So what do you do? Sure, ya can call an exterminator...and really, ya should before you go dousing your yard in ANY chemical. However, you might not know...there are several readily available "all natural" and "non-toxic" ways you can keep those mosquitos under control in your back yard...
No, I am not paid to say this, I am a customer and wanted to share as this time of the year, I get a good amount of friends who know me as a guy who keeps his back-yard 'bug free' ask "what do I do for Mosquitoes?"
As far as environmentally friendly (I get nervous recommending anything chemical as you should consult a pro)...this product is something you spread on the lawn and it confuses the mosquitoes quite well with scents of lemon-grass, peppermint, and garlic....so they can't smell YOU. Works well for parties and lasts about 2 weeks in my experience. Good for backyard camp-outs too. Hope that helps!
It doesn't kill em...it just confuses them...like a man in a shoe-store. ;)
So check out some Dr. T's and follow the directions...it works great!
Enjoy your grilling, and back yard adventures... --Chuck

Fring Spever
Today gave me just a little taste of spring.
I awoke to a pair of Cardinals singing to each other. This is a very good sign. They sing to find a mate, which means they are thinking spring. There's been a Johnny two note singing for weeks now. I think it is some sort of sparrow. Although it only has two notes, it still is a welcome sound. I tried to find this 2 note wonder on the internet, but no success yet.
Virtually there: church, geysers, and classroom
Technology can be a wonderful thing. Two weeks ago, we had that snowstorm warning on Sunday and the weatherman cautioned people to stay home. We were rather torn as to what to do, but since we just had 2 weather related fender benders that week, we chickened out and stayed home. The great thing was though, we did not need to miss our church service.
Thanks to the internet and some tech. minded members, we sat around the computer screen and watched the live sermon from the comfort of our home! Not quite as good as being there, but we did virtually see and hear the LIVE service. I can also go back to the church website and review a sermon if I want to.
And then there were 3, Elmbrook Candidate Forum and tour tonight
So much for any choice in School Board candidates: Brooks Fleming now dropped out of the school board race. But there is still the School Board Candidate Forum tonight at Central High School's library, 7:30 - 9:30pm.
If you come earlier, Principal LaBonte will be giving a tour starting at 6pm. However, keep in mind the principal is not the best person to answer your maintenance questions.
Barack O-Phenomena

Dr. King in town, look at candidate's content of character
I heard Dr. Alveda King speak yesterday on Vicki McKenna's radio program. Alveda is following in her uncle Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s footsteps in speaking out for civil rights for all. But the issue near and dear to her heart is one that her uncle could not even imagine--civil rights for the unborn.

On tour at Central High School and forum
Last night I took the tour of Brookfield Central High School before the Elmbrook Candidate Forum. It did not seem there was much interest in either event.
There were only 7 residents on the tour plus candidate Gary Jones. Principal LaBonte led the tour along with Central's head of maintenance, Shawn (I did not catch his last name or title). It was helpful to have Shawn along to answer some questions. It seemed I was the only one on the tour who would not be voting for the referendum. I took some pictures and will be posting them in future blogs.

The controversy being that around 80% of Wisconsinites--regardless of political affiliation--want a Voter ID requirement, but the Democrat controlled State Senate won't bring the measure up for a vote before the current session ends next week.
Elmbrook: We agree, nix the office cubes
Although I am not in favor of the present $62.2+ million dollar referendum, I was pleased to see this practical solution for creating larger classrooms while on the Central High School Tour this week. They are proposing removing the approx. 8' x 9' office cubes from some of the classrooms.
(These would be those classrooms you visit at the top of the stairs at the beginning of the tour--same ones that last year were mentioned as only having 3 working outlets: The Tale of Three Outlets)
I have no idea what they were thinking when this school addition was built--like so many "new" ideas, it seemed like a good idea at the time? But the office within the classroom really plays havoc with the arrangement of student desks.

Easter egg tree countdown
When my son was young, we dyed eggs for Easter. Oh my, what chaos! But he had so much fun, how could I say no? My sister would come over and join in the festivities (and mess). Our favorite dyes were those oily swirl type paints.
Some of the eggs turned out so pretty, it was a real shame to destroy and eat them later. So we decided to dye either hollowed out real eggs or use the plastic type that split apart--that allowed us to keep them indefinitely.

"Gluttonous greedy misers" don't usually propose spending more
Recently, a reader of my other blog, Brookfield7, sent me this comment anonymously regarding my "cynical view on today's children" and my "gluttonous greedy miser who can't spare money on the children who need it" attitude. I would encourage you to read it and see if you agree.
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "The Corridor Report: How wide will they be? We Don't Know!":
"guess wut...
schools get old and run down... its not like since that peak year... things have gotten better. You simply attack one thing but yes, the school is crowded and most of the students, although irritated at the bottleneck that occurs at every staircase but can live with it... You need to consider everything else that is of poor quality in the school. recently due to the freeze and melting of the ice, the orchestra/choir room has sustained considerable damage due to leaking in the roof. There are priceless instruments in that room, all suspecting of water damage. With a cynical view on todays children as you seem to have, why not cut the music program. why not cut out all extracurriculars while your at it. The fact of the matter is... all things come to an end, and BC is reaching its end. Nearly every school in southeastern wisco is better than BC/BE and yet, you still argue that its fine??? If you don't care for our nations future, then fine, be a gluttonous greedy miser who can't spare money on the children who need it."
Academics, not Athletics
Why $21 million dollars for gymnasiums and other facilities for
athletes? I am OK to fix up or replace the schools, but any money for
new athletic facilities should come directly from the parents who feel
this is important. The average taxpayer should not be requested to pay
millions so a few kids can play basketball and volleyball. We already
have adequate athletic facilities. Most high schools serving 2600 kids
don't have 8 gym stations.
It is interesting that the last failed referendum permitted one to vote down the new gym facilities separately, and now, realizing the opposition to the gyms, they thought it was better to include it with the academic package. I think that is a pretty clear indication that they did not think the 6 new gymnasiums had any chance at all if they were separated. Vote NO until the Board presents a reasonable option.
Health insurance in the private sector
Here's the info you asked me for. It applies to full time EE's See the above for the plan summaries.
Premiums are deducted from every paycheck (26 times a year).
EE only: $49.85 EE and spouse: $118.15 EE and dependents: $91.85 EE, spouse and dependents: $160.15
The EE and categories includes coverage for domestic partner and/or domestic partner's children.
There is also a BCBS WI PPO plan. Sorry I couldn't find what the coverage is but I believe you pay a $30 copay or coinsurance up to an annual out-of-pocket maximum and then the plan pays 100%.
The premiums for that are:
EE only: $85.38 EE and spouse: $202.15 EE and dependents: $156.92 EE, spouse and dependents: $274.15
Delta Dental Standard: EE only $5.25 EE and spouse: $9.92 EE and dependents $13.07 EE, spouse and dependents: $17.74
Delta Dental Enhanced: $7.16 $18.87 $24.86 $33.74
VSP EE only $1.99 EE and spouse: $5.43 EE and dependents $5.08 EE, spouse and dependents: $8.00
Spectera $1.22 $2.55 $2.34 $5.10
EyeMed $0.96 $3.38 $3.38 $5.19
Hope that helps. We also pay for long term disability, accidental death & dismemberment, long term care (optional coverage).
Let me know if you have any questions.

I spent last night going through all of my past Practically Speaking postings from the last referendum up until Easter 2007. I gave them a quick read and made the appropriate subject tags.
Many of them are still very pertinent this year. I hope to make a master list with titles, but if that never materializes, you can just click on the High School tag or Elmbrook to the right and they all should come up.

Two different referendums, two different tour themes
It's been a busy few days at the Prast household, but this afternoon I had a little time and started working on a new posting. That required digging out my notes from last year's mechanical tours.
On the first page from my 2007 East High School tour notes, I had written in red pen: Attitude of resignation: It's served its useful life...it needs replacing. I wrote that in reference to the theme of the East and Central High School tours. That concept was mentioned numerous times during both tours.

Lot$ of loot for locker$
While on tour at Central on March 4th, our tour guides Principal LaBonte and Shawn from the maintenance department repeatedly emphasized that they were keeping as much that was usable as possible for this referendum. That was good news.
They directed our attention to the terrazzo floors, which will remain. Great, I thought. Terrazzo is a durable, but expensive flooring choice. I am glad they do not need to rip them out and replace with some sort of inferior tile.

D.I.T.W. good and bad
Dead In The Water: The State Legislature is finished for this term so those hot button bills, that never made it to the floor for a vote, are considered dead right now. I caught a snippet of Mark Belling's show yesterday and he mentioned a few of them that died in the legislature this session.
I am very sorry that Voter ID did not pass the Senate this session, because I think we are now back to square one. We do not get to vote on that amendment to change our state constitution language for requiring a photo ID to vote. I have a feeling this November we will be very sorry that bill died in the Senate.
Ever change churches?
More and more information is coming out about Barack Obama's preacher(his own words, not mine) and church.
I raised the question of just what kind of church was Trinity U.C.C. a few weeks ago in the comment section and took a bit of heat for it. Contrarian, for one, liked what she saw on Trinity's website, "Kyle, thanks for the invitation to look closely at one aspect of Barack Obama's background, his church. I spent 30 minutes or so wandering around the website, and came away completely impressed."
Athletics: $21 million, $14 million, which is it?
If they now are fine tuning and saying it is only $14 million, that is 33% less than orig. estimates. Does that mean the entire referendum is 33% too high or at the very least, $7million too high? If these athletic spaces came to be $7 mil. less, then shouldn't we be able to deduct $7mil from $62 mil and get a real number of $55mil?
Q: Mommy, What's Global Warming?

$5,280 raise for Dr. Gibson answers the question
Jessica Rasmussen reports, "The Elmbrook superintendent will see $5,280 added to his salary for the 2008-2009 school year.", so that answers my question from last week, Will Gibson get hefty raise this year?
"The School Board voted, 5-1, to approve the 4 percent package increase, which will bump Superintendent Matt Gibson's salary to $147,510." (Remember that Dr. Gibson's complete wage and benefit package is substantially more than just salary.)
True to form, Patrick Murphy did not support that raise. I'm going to miss Patrick's presence on the board. " 'I think these wages are excessive,' Murphy said, adding that the administration should show restraint in light of a possible $62.2 million construction project, which will go to referendum April 1."
Belling talking about Elmbrook and Wisconsin taxes now
FYI, Mark Belling, is talking about our referendum and Wisconsin taxes right now on his radio show at 4:35pm.
He mentioned the alderman who called our schools an embarrassment (Mahkorn) and the 12 aldermen who endorsed Elmbrook's referendum.

Questioning "sadly mistaken when it comes to the facts" re: referendum
Often it seems that whenever people disagree with the school district about a program change such as the new Human Growth & Development curriculum, or what needs improving via referendum, if a citizen disagrees, that opposing person's view is chalked up to being uneducated or misinformed.
A week ago, I wrote "Gluttonous Greedy Misers" Don't usually propose spending more in response to an anonymous comment that addressed me as such. That posting prompted many comments: some positive, some negative.
Unofficial road report: bad! Church report: check first
I slept in this morning. Ahhh :) Knowing the snow was coming and we had some DVDs that must go back to the Elm Grove Library, I was about to throw on some boots and zip over there before the roads got too terrible.
But the phone rang and I got a reprieve: an offer from someone I know who was out and about. They would return them for me.

Questioning "sadly mistaken" about converting gyms to arts at Central, pt 1
We are now getting into some of the more interesting aspects of our $62.2 million dollar question in this 4th installment from my series on Questioning "sadly mistaken when it comes to the facts".
This posting continues to deal with the HSST and Vote Yes member's comment, "...Academics and the arts will be enhanced because current gym space is being repurposed. It is more cost effective to build gym additions vs. classroom additions."

Questioning "sadly mistaken" about gyms to arts at East, pt 2
This is part 2 of the 4th installment from my series on Questioning "sadly mistaken when it comes to the facts".
Part 1 earlier today dealt with the HSST / Vote Yes member's comment, "...Academics and the arts will be enhanced because current gym space is being repurposed. It is more cost effective to build gym additions vs. classroom additions," at East High School.
Wow! We could have had a V8 (Brookfield Academy's $12.5 mil high school)
I still believe that we could manage our facilities needs without a referendum. Adding an unbonded $1 to $2 million a year just for the high schools to our capital improvement budget could go a long way in improving our schools.(This would require referendum approval.)
In years we have surpluses at year end, this year we had $3.5 million, and we could make noticible improvements.
Questioning "sadly mistaken" re: science labs
Please note, for some reason this reposted itself to March 25th. It should be dated and placed March 24th.
This makes the 3rd posting in my series on Questioning "sadly mistaken when it comes to the facts..." This time we are discussing the science labs, "Science labs will be expanded and made safe for today's academics."
Questioning why we should build a 1.4 acre gym for who?
OK, I have had enough of number crunching for the day with Part 1 and Part 2 of my 4th installment of Questioning "sadly mistaken when it comes to the facts..." regarding "...current gym space is being repurposed. It is more cost effective to build gym additions vs. classroom additions."
So now for a little lighter challenge to the remaining part of that statement about the gyms,"...Further the gym space will be used by our entire community (Park and Rec -- seniors will have a walking track instead of the mall which have kicked them out -- and we will be able to gain revenue by renting out the space)."
Vote YES to end the Frankenstein Veto monster
We've heard the term: Frankenstein Veto, and we have seen what it can do: Doyle's raiding the transportation fund to give to the general fund, comes to mind. But before any Republicans start acting smugly, Tommy Thompson created Frankenstein monsters too. But do you know what it really is?
Safety & Security: Aren't we inviting trouble?
STRANGER DANGER, we have all heard the phrase. We've taught it to our preschoolers; they teach it in our schools from kindergarten on up. We all want to protect our children from predators and those who would cause harm.
How do you keep your kids safe while they are at school? It is difficult.
Threat from within or without? re: Safety and Security
UPDATE: Student busted for selling pot at school, Community Watch, Monday, April 14, 2008 (emphasis added)
"Brookfield police responded to the high school, 16900 W. Gebhardt Road, at 9:14 a.m. April 9 after school officials received an anonymous tip that the boy, a 16-year-old from Milwaukee, was selling marijuana to students. When police arrived, school officials had already found seven bags of marijuana totaling 4.85 grams in his possession."

Double, Double Toil and Trouble; $26mil's a lot to make boilers chill & bubble
I could have titled this the High cost of a HVAC replacement, but that would not have been as much fun.
You know how they say, They can't see the forest for the trees? Well, I confess, that has happened to me. I was so distracted by the high price of athletics with this referendum that I did not see how much the HVAC replacement was running.
Unloved, but now thriving
Lindfield now Heritage
Correction: Athletic costs: $21, $18.2, $15.8, $15.2, $14 mil? Clear as mud
Have you noticed how compared to last year's referendum, where we were inundated with details, facts, and figures, that this year's specifics are rather late in coming or hard to come by?
While I did not agree with all the mailings and new kiosks full of papers last year (because it was expensive), having some of that information online was very helpful. Clear, concise information makes it easier for voters to discern if the plan had merit. This year, I find details, facts, and figures hard to come by.
STUNNING: Putting $22.7 to $26million for HVAC/ mechanicals replacement in perspective, pt1
Sometimes you just cannot see the forest for the trees. I know I didn't see the HVAC/mechanicals costs for the Athletics costs. I wish I had more answers for you right now, but the following musings are just some of my observations. Take them for what they are worth.
If we had more time
before election day, I would wait until I had those answers nailed
down. But seeing as the referendum is 2 days away, I believe you need
to at least think about this huge dollar amount for yourself. If I receive any updates, I will post them as soon as possible. (Internet connection permitting)
My ideal Tuesday ballot picks
It is nearing the big day for the 2008 spring election on Tuesday, April 1st. True, it is April Fools Day, but this election is no joke. There is a lot riding on the ballot this day, for one thing, a $62.2 million dollar school referendum.
Add an important State Supreme Court race and half of Brookfield's Common Council too, throw in a Constitutional Amendment and a few other races and I hope it adds up to a good turnout.
Midwest Gaming Classic post script
Drafted my son's Whack-a-Mole for tournament play.
WOW! We could have had a V8 like Brookfield Academy's $12.5 mil high school
I still believe that we could manage our facilities needs without a referendum. Adding an unbonded $1 to $2 million a year, just for the high schools, to our capital improvement budget, could go a long way in improving our schools. (This would require referendum approval.)
(Remember, we defeased $2.5 mil in 2006--did not require referendum approval--so that amount has been added to our tax bills before.)
Being considerate of your partner
compare getting engaged to district considering the financial ability of the taxpayers
1 pipe, 2 pipes, 4 pipes, more?
For example, both eProgress and the High School Facilities Next Steps Steering Team - the team charged by the School Board to develop a facilities plan - budgeted for full replacement of the heating pipes.
The 3 Rs: Recession, Rising energy prices, and Referendum
People constantly ask me if I think the referendum will pass. I just answer, I don't know. Truly, I just don't know.
You would think that amid the sub-prime jitters, falling stock market, rising food prices, rising energy prices, and the probability that our state and federal taxes will go up, the public would not be too eager to take on more debt for the next 20 years. But then again, think, may be the key word here.
The Weeping Wall of Shame now streaming
If they have been such poor custodians to the facilities we have entrusted them with, why reward their neglectful behavior?
Oh oh, you can't do that
I'm not sure who dropped off this referendum brochure; it is a copy of Elmbrook Schools April 1, 2008 High Schools Facilities info sheets.

"He's a tremendous talent," former Oxford coach John Grass said. "He's blessed athletically and can run, jump, flip, move lateral and just all the things that you would want in an in an athlete to be a running back. Speed, quickness, explosion, all that stuff. He's a master of vision and works on his moves and stuff like that."
Although the junior's statistics show his success, in week nine against Pell City, Thomas had what would be considered a "Heisman moment" at the next level.
With the snap on the right hash, Thomas went left with the ball out of the pistol formation, looking for a hole. Seeing it was closed by a Pell City defender, he went outside to the left, finding himself inside a triangle of defenders. With the possibility of being tackled for a loss still likely, Thomas used a vicious stiff arm to start what ended up being a 59-yard touchdown run that included five broken tackles with the chances of 10 players tackling the tailback.
"Yeah, that was a really good run," Thomas said. "I still don't know how I made it through all of those tackles."
Bullying nearly every defensive player on the field for Pell City, Thomas spent the season with reminders to build up his arm strength to effectively use his new move: the stiff arm.
"Our coach kind of puts that on point when we're working out," the tailback explained. "He says, 'That'll help on your stiff arm, and benching will get your stiff arm up,' so yeah, it does help a lot."
Although, prior to the 2012 season, Thomas didn't realize he could utilize the stiff arm and have such success with it.
"I use it quite a bit considering how many defenders want to strip the ball from me," he said. "They just really want to make me fumble, but I don't really give them the chance. I don't really have very long arms, but I have arms long enough to keep them from getting the ball or making the tackle.
Although Thomas started using the stiff arm in ninth grade, he hasn't used it as much because he's worked on other moves throughout his high school career, as well.
"He works on a few (moves) for a few weeks and he'll use that move, then he'll go to another one," Grass said. "Last year he didn't use the stiff arm as much; he was a big spin guy. But he's got everything you want, the dead leg, the stiff arm, the spin move and he'll run over you, as well."
Adding the stiff arm to his list of moves along with natural talent, Thomas rushed for 1,768 yards and 24 touchdowns this season on 186 carries. Yet his statistics could have been much higher had he not sat out a majority of the second half of numerous games due to large leads.
"He's the best player I've ever been on the field with, for sure," Grass said.

It's time to take a look at guys you must add for Week 2 to keep your season rolling. Here are three guys you have to add off the fantasy football waiver wire for Week 2. Davone Bess: WR, Cleveland Browns Brandon Weeden targeted Davone Bess 10 times in Week 1′s loss versus the Miami Dolphins. Bess caught five for 47 yards, which was second on the Cleveland Browns that game. Although those numbers won't wow anyone, Bess was also put in tough positions as Weeden struggled with his accuracy. At the same time, Miami has an improved pass rush and secondary. The AFC North isn't the dominant division for defense it was in recent years, so having Bess for backup depth will help when needing points: And he'll be key in PPR leagues.
