How to Write the Perfect Farewell Letter
by Larry Barkdull, Award-Winning, Nationally Recognized Writer
Maybe you are leaving a job and want to say goodbye to your co-workers. Perhaps you are moving and want to say farewell to your friends and neighbors. This article will give you the information you need to write an effective farewell letter. Below are a few essential points to include in your letter.
The perfect Farewell Letter consists of several essential components:
Examples: "I'll write as soon as we get settled and I hope to hear from you, too." "Send me an email and let me know how you're doing."
Note: You can adapt this outline to writing a farewell letter to a variety of situations. Here are a few examples and additional tips:
Write this letter personally to an employee, co-worker, boss, or valued client who is leaving. Focus on your positive memories of the relationship. If the person is leaving due to adverse circumstances, try to put yourself in the same position and imagine how he/she is feeling and respond accordingly.
Write this letter if you are leaving your job. This letter focuses on your positive relationship and one or two happy memories that you have shared. It should end with expressions of goodwill and best wishes for the future. This is not a letter of resignation. For suggestions that will help you write the perfect letter of resignation, go to Resigning your way to success...your ticket to good references for future jobs.
If you are an employer, address this letter to your staff, announcing the retirement of one of your employees. Be sure to list one or more of his/her significant contributions and that the employee's retirement will be a loss to the company. Avoid mentioning any past problems here. End with well wishes for the employee's future.
Typically, an employer only announces an employee's retirement. Depending on the circumstances, you may desire to write a separate letter to select individuals announcing your retirement. You can use your letter to announce your immediate plans, express your appreciation and affection for all the associations you formed in the workplace, and to welcome the person who is taking your place.
Write this letter to a colleague who is retiring. Focus on how much you value the relationship. Recall one or more positive, mutual experiences that you shared at work. Express congratulations and best wishes for the future.

Welcome to Step Forward Poland
Step Forward USA manufacture state-of-the-art proprioceptive innersoles which are distributed to many countries across the globe.
Step Forward Polasnd have numerous consultants providing these unique orthotics throughout Poland. If you are from any other country, please visit our international website.
Step Forward Orthotics have been selling in USA and Canada since 1974. They were first introduced to Poland in 2011. Since then they have been fitted to many feet, either by doctors and therapists, or by our National Distributors and their staff. If you already own a pair, this website will help you get the maximum benefit, comfort and longevity from your orthotics. If you don't yet wear a pair, we'll tell you more about them, answer your questions and explain how easy it is to be fitted. If you can't find the answers here, feel free to call us.
The Step Forward Difference
Step Forward Orthotics are the shape of a perfect foot. Your feet will gradually adapt and conform to this correct shape, thus enabling them to work more like nature intended. Step Forward Orthotics flex as you walk, much like walking barefoot on sand, grass, dirt, mud and gravel. You can expect relief from aches and pains caused by poor alignment.

|Swap from shoe to shoe
|= Only one pair needed
|Fit 90% of footwear
|= No need for new shoes
|Increase circulation
|= Good for diabetics
|Strengthen the foot
|= Long lasting benefits
|Used by athletes
|= Better performance
|Non absorbent
|= No odour
|= No negative reactions
|Made in USA
|= Quality & reliability
Where To Buy
In Poland, Step Forward Orthotics are available for 1100zł. za parę, plus €10 P&H.
You can buy a pair of Step Forward Orthotics from us at a show or event, from one of our Consultants (doctors and therapists) or from our National office.
The Step Forward Process
How Do I Get Fitted? How Do I Try Them?
1. Understand & agree with the logic of the Step Forward approach.
Listen to our explanation, study the web-site, ask questions. It is important that you understand how Step Forward Orthotics are different from other arch-supports and why they are so good.
2. Know the price & understand why this represents excellent value.
Step Forward Orthotics are 1100zł. za parę. Custom-made orthotics are typically anywhere from €200 up to €800. Pre-formed orthotics cost around €30 and most are recommended to be replaced approximately every 3 to 6 months. Step Forward Orthotics have a typical life of 10 to 15 years (guaranteed for 10 years against breaking, cracking and splitting). This is €1 a day for the first year, and then free for the rest of their life! This price includes Polish VAT.
Another way to realise the value of Step Forward Orthotics is to calculate how many visits you could make to a doctor or therapist before you have spent more than €295. Not many!
3. Have a free appraisal and fitting.
This process takes about 10 minutes and is completely free of charge and without any obligation. If you still aren't convinced, you can take your footprint with you and do more research. This means that if you wish to buy your orthotics later, you can do so over the phone, as your correct size is written on the footprint that you take with you. We do not keep any information about you until such time as you decide to make a purchase.
During the fitting we will take an impression of your footprint, explain what that is likely to mean to your body, select a pair to suit the bone structure of your feet, put them in your shoes and send you on a small walk in them. By this time you will have a good understanding of what Step Forward is all about. Remember, all this is cost-free and obligation-free. You pay nothing unless you choose to keep the orthotics.
4. Purchase your pair of Step Forward Orthotics.
We accept cash, debit cards and credit cards (Visa & Mastercard). If you phone the office to have them sent to you, we will add a €10 fee for postage & handling. They will come to your letterbox by Express Post. The orthotics (a left and a right) will be accompanied with full instructions and a tax invoice/receipt.
5. Allow your feet to adjust to the orthotics.
If you had been walking barefoot all day every day on sand, grass, mud, dirt and gravel, then your foot muscles would be strong enough to carry your weight all day. However, since you have been walking on the bones, your muscles are under-developed and need to strengthen steadily over a few weeks. You only wear them about 15 minutes the first time, then slowly increase the wearing each day. The average person takes about 3 weeks until they can wear our orthotics all day. You will be given advice about this at the time of purchase.
6. After-sales care is always available if needed.
The vast majority of people have no trouble adjusting comfortably to Step Forward Orthotics. However, if you do experience any discomfort or unexpected changes do not hesitate to ring our National Office for advice. The most common problem is people who try to wear them all day too soon! However, there could be other issues that we can usually solve without any difficulty. Please do not persist with problems without contacting our office. We cannot help you if you don't let us know about your problems.
7. Wear your Step Forward Orthotics in comfort for many years.
Step Forward Orthotics will fit into the vast majority of existing shoes, unless they are already too tight. Use Velcro dots or strips to attach them securely to backless sandals. They'll become so comfortable you'll want to wear them most of the time, including in slippers around the house, in your boots in the garden, in your sports shoes, in your office shoes and in your work boots. They normally last 5 to 25 years (15 years is a typical average) , by which time time they'll have worn thin or through. Abrasion will wear them out sooner. Although we cannot guarantee against wearing out or damage from abrasion, heat or being chewed by a dog, they are guaranteed for 10 years against breaking, cracking or splitting.

KPMG Service in Remembrance commemorated tenth anniversary of September 11
by AccountingWEB on printer friendly
KPMG's Service in Remembrance nationwide employee volunteer campaign – commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11 – included thousands of KPMG firm members participating at 227 nonprofit organizations.
The US audit, tax, and advisory firm's partners and employees had the option to volunteer at a nonprofit of their choice, and more than one hundred additional organizations benefitted as a result.
All members of KPMG's US firm were given volunteer time off in order to participate in 9/11 anniversary service projects. This was in addition to the twelve hours of volunteer time KPMG grants each person annually.
KPMG lead significant volunteer initiatives across the country:
- In Chicago, some 300 firm partners and employees lifted the spirits and minds of the students of Phoebe Hearst Elementary in Chicago by creating seventeen in-classroom libraries, overhauling the school's unused library, planting a student garden, and giving three books to each student to take home to read, among other initiatives.
- Members of the Houston office sponsored a letter-writing campaign on behalf of A Million Thanks, the year-round campaign to show appreciation to our US military men and women for their sacrifices, dedication, and service to our country through our letters, e-mails, and cards. KPMG staff set up a station in the building's lobby where they encouraged all tenants and visitors to write thank-you letters to servicemen and servicewomen.
- In Washington, DC, nearly seventy KPMG people attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial. The event included the presentation of a mock check for $100,000 to the Pentagon Memorial Fund, the amount donated by KPMG and its Washington, DC–area employees over the past six years.
- Members of KPMG's Seattle office helped prepare and serve lunches at OPERATION: Sack Lunch, a nonprofit that provides meals and basic necessities for those without homes as well as for low- and no-income men, women, and children.
- In Charlotte, over three dozen KPMG professionals paid tribute by helping the F.F. Steven Coakley Foundation create Flags of Remembrance, an annual memorial to those killed on 9/11. Flags of Remembrance includes 2,997 American flags in the shape of the Twin Towers with pictures of every victim displayed. Additionally, KPMG Charlotte volunteers read and provided homework help to children at the Bethlehem Center, a nonprofit organization that works with low-income children and families.
- More than one hundred volunteers in New York visited Public School 161 in Harlem for a book reading and to hand out books to the students as part of the firm's Family for Literacy program. In addition, more than one hundred volunteers participated in a job and mentoring workshop at the YWCA in Brooklyn and the YWCA in New York.
"Our firm has a rich history of volunteerism in our communities, and our efforts to commemorate 9/11 will build upon that strong record," said KPMG Deputy Chairman and COO, Henry Keizer.
KPMG fundraising and firm contributions
Through fundraising efforts and firm contributions, KPMG has given more than $1 million to help fund the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Centerand has contributed to the Pentagon Memorial.
KPMG supports the National 9/11 Flag Tour
KPMG is a national corporate partner of the New York Says Thank You Foundation's National 9/11 Flag Tour, a grassroots restoration of the tattered flag rescued from Ground Zero. The National 9/11 Flag was restored back to its original thirteen-stripe format, using pieces of fabric taken from American flags scheduled for retirement in 50 states.
On September 9, thirty KPMG employees headed to Joplin, Missouri, to take part in the flag tour and to pay tribute to the people impacted by the tornado that devastated their city in May. Before the flag occupies its permanent home in the 9/11 Memorial, hundreds of KPMG partners and employees will have joined local service heroes at thirty-six locations nationwide.
KPMG volunteer outreach
Beyond KPMG's 9/11 program, the firm's employees are generous in giving their time to hundreds of other organizations through the firm's Involve Program. In 2010, KPMG partners and employees donated 151,000 hours of community service.
Of note, thousands of KPMG employees and their family members and friends have volunteered to read to children as part of the firm's Family for Literacy program, a core focus of KPMG's corporate responsibility agenda.
The firm also recently announced that it has teamed with the National Academy Foundation (NAF) in a move to strengthen high school accounting education at NAF's Academies of Finance nationwide.
"Service in Remembrance and the personal engagement of our people are examples of KPMG's core values and our understanding of the crucial relationship between businesses and society in creating a sustainable future," said Kathy Hannan, KPMG National Managing Partner, Diversity and Corporate Responsibility.

Actually he isn't. I didn't know at first what cemetery he was in and have been doing a lot of family history and working in find a grave quite a bit. But I live just a couple miles from the Higden McClehaney cem. In fact the cemetery ground was donated by my husbands relative. We have many family members there. I have been trying to get pictures taken of all graves that do not have headstone pictures and every now and then I find a grave that has not been added. This was the case with your uncle.
Glad to be of help.

News in Brief
Cybersecurity concerns are shaping global defense spending as nation-states shift from an emphasis on counterterrorism to protecting their information networks, Deloitte said in its 2014 Global Defense Outlook.
"Early 21st-century force structure, with its emphasis on counterinsurgency and counterterrorism, is giving way to new structures built around multi-usage and mobility, as well as concepts of operations related to information networks," the report states.
Governments are "adapting to these new [cyber] threats by applying defense and intelligence resources, as well as by forming new command structures and military services to operate in the new domain of cyberspace," the report concludes. "Resources once devoted to tanks and battleships are now required to develop network security and offensive cyber techniques."
Although the largest percentage of cyberattacks in 2013 were aimed at rich countries that are higher defense spenders, more than 20 percent were directed at countries outside the top 50 in defense spending, the report states, citing public data.
An executive branch panel of lawyers unanimously affirmed a federal electronic surveillance program as lawful and largely respectful of personal privacy.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board examined Section 702 of the 2008 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Amendments Act, which allows the attorney general and the director of national intelligence to authorize surveillance of foreigners outside the United States. The board's report, released on July 1, found the program to be well-supervised and well-intentioned.
"The operation of the Section 702 program has been subject to judicial oversight and extensive internal supervision, and the board has found no indication of intentional abuse," said David Medine, the board's chairman, in unveiling the report. "Outside of this fundamental core, certain aspects of the Section 702 program do raise privacy concerns and push the program close to the line of constitutional reasonableness."
Some of the privacy concerns flagged by the board are incidental collection of Americans' communications and the government's ability to query such information. The report recommends, among other things, that the National Security Agency specify its criteria for determining the expected intelligence value of a surveillance target.
If implemented, all the recommendations would "strike a better balance between privacy and civil liberties and national security," Medine said.
Leidos has selected Roger Krone to be its CEO. Krone, who is currently president of network and space systems at Boeing, will succeed Leidos CEO John Jumper on July 14. Jumper has led Leidos since March 2012 and announced his retirement in February of this year.
One of Krone's projects at Boeing was a controversial electronic surveillance system along the U.S./Mexico border, which he defended during a 2010 congressional hearing as beneficial to border security.
Leidos split from SAIC last year to form what is now a 22,000-person firm that focuses on national security, health, and engineering products and services.

It is not Liberalism, it is far Leftism. A small minority of Leftists are dominating the culture against the will of the majority of the American people.Leftist are so blind, arrogant, and cloistered that they do not realize they are the minority, and they will lose many of their so-called victories in the historical pendulum swing back to the morality required for a civilized society.

Ross, your intimation that there are internal inconsistencies in the liberal philosophy that haven´t manifested since liberals are only winning but haven´t actually won the cultural war and established their long sought for egalitarian utopia is right on. If you´d like to reify that intimation I direct you to the history of the 20th century and particularly to that of the Soviet Union, China under Maozedong, North Korea and Cuba. They totally won their cultural wars and established utopia but except for the Soviet Union which died from the effort and China which gave it up and resorted to free market capitalism they are still hanging by the short hairs from those internal inconsistencies only saved from starving to death by the charity of less utopian nations.

How do I teach my baby to soothe himself to sleep?
Everything I read tells me to put my baby down while he's still awake so that he can learn how to soothe himself to sleep. Sounds good, but how do I actually
Deborah Lin-Dyken
pediatric sleep disorders expert
You can't really teach your baby how to self-soothe, but you can provide him with the opportunity to teach himself. Given the right circumstances and the right stage of development, usually between 3 and 6 months of age, it will happen on its own. It's like learning to crawl: If you always carry your baby, he'll never have a chance to discover crawling, since he'll never be on the floor long enough to figure it out. It's the same thing with self-soothing: If you always nurse or rock your baby to sleep, he'll never have a chance to learn how to soothe
to sleep.
How can you help your baby do this? First, you need to set the stage, which includes two things: a regular bedtime and a consistent
. A bedtime that occurs at the same time every night will set your baby's internal clock so that he's naturally sleepy at a predictable time. The bedtime routine should happen in the place you want your baby to sleep and include three or four soothing activities, such as taking a bath, reading a story and having a cuddle, that let him know it's time for "night-night." When the bedtime routine is finished, put your baby to bed drowsy but awake.
Many babies will surprise you and drift off to sleep without much protest. Other babies, especially older ones who may have come to depend on being nursed or rocked to sleep, will need a bit of practice. Remember, self-soothing is just like crawling — it takes time and opportunity. You can teach your baby all at once and wait outside your baby's room, checking on him as frequently or infrequently as you wish. Or you can make it a more gradual process, sitting next to your baby's crib and easing yourself farther away each night — sitting in the middle of the room, sitting in the doorway and so on.
If your baby is used to breast- or bottle-feeding as he goes to sleep in your arms, you'll have to break his need to suck to sleep. You can move your child's feeding to earlier in the bedtime routine or slowly reduce the number of ounces or number of minutes of this feeding. Or when you see your baby starting to drift off during a feeding, promptly end his meal and finish the rest of the bedtime routine before laying him down.
Although some people believe that you should never wake a sleeping baby, keep the big picture in mind. On any particular night, waking your baby after he's drifted off may seem crazy, especially when you're beat and have a million things to do before turning in yourself. But when you remember your long-term goal of helping your baby develop the ability to soothe himself to sleep, both at bedtime and when he naturally wakes up during the night, it's well worth doing.
What happens if you've given your baby plenty of chances to self-soothe and he just can't seem to do it? Take a step back and try to figure out why. Perhaps he's simply too young and doesn't yet have the developmental ability to self-soothe, just as a 3-month-old can spend hours on the living room floor yet still won't be able to crawl .In this case, wait a few days, weeks or even months before trying again.
Or maybe your baby is
too tired
— and thus too overwrought — to settle down by himself. In this case, try moving his bedtime a bit earlier so he isn't a complete wreck by lights-out. Finally, think about whether you're really giving your baby an opportunity to find ways to soothe himself, or are rushing in to comfort him at his first peep and depriving him of the chance to figure it out on his own.
Most important, keep your goal in mind: Developing the ability to soothe himself to sleep will enable your baby to snooze for longer stretches and put himself back to sleep when he naturally wakes up during the night, allowing him to get the rest he needs to grow and thrive. What's more, self-soothing is an important life skill that will serve your baby well not just at bedtime but also in other situations, such as when he's separated from you at daycare or even when you momentarily walk out of the room, when he gets frustrated trying to master all those other important skills such as — you guessed it — crawling, or when he's just feeling fussy.

"Every baby is different" is a phrase I have come to understand. Some people will have an easier time putting their child to sleep. I don't believe there is a lotion that calms a baby or a special back rub. It is mostly about setting a routine which can be very difficult. My son had colic and is very temperamental. This has made the whole bedtime process even harder. He does not sleep through the night either, no matter how much rice I put in the bottle. BUT I have learned to live with it. Some babies just will not go by the books. That doesnt mean there is something wrong with you, or that you don't know what you are doing. I just felt I needed to post this, because I have found their is no quick cure for all babies. You just have to figure it out yourself and TRY to set a routine to help get the thing going.

My son was not a good sleeper and responded very well to crying-it-out. He is now 3 yrs old and is a very emotionally together little boy. He is very empathetic to others. For the first year, I could not leave him at a gym daycare without him getting upset so I didn't take him as he clearly was not ready, but after a year and ever since he as been able to go to any gym daycare, with confidence that I will always come and get him. I do not believe he is emotionally scared from crying-it-out. Now, my daughter did not respond to crying-it-out, and got infinitely more upset than my son. We had to use a longer more gradual approach with her. Every child is different. Trust your mommy instincts.

I use cry it out for my baby at about 4 to 5 months. It was the best thing we every did. It took us almost 2 hours to get her to sleep at night and then she was up every two to three hours to feed we also had to hold her for nap time we were very tired. After reading about I deside to try it. The first night was hard but she only cry about 10min and was off to sleep by the 2nd day it would take about 5 min she was out not long after that she started sleep 12 hours a night with out getting up. Now she just plays a little and goes to sleep only if she really tired does she cry some. I know it is not for everyone but for use it was the best thing we could do.

I really think that it depends on the individual baby. My daughter to this day is an awful sleeper and when she was a baby she needed to be rocked or such a bottle to go to sleep, but my son is sleeping through the night at 3 months and self soothes easily. I have done nothing different with my son than with my daughter.

Our daughter is turnign 1 tomorrow! We still cuddle her to sleep. Our routine is a bath followed by a bottle and cuddling to sleep. We have done this from the first day we brought her home. She quickly falls asleep and when we lay her in her crib she sometimes wakes but falls right back to sleep. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months old. Same thing at nap time. She is held till she falls asleep and then placed in her crib for the duration of the nap. This is bonding time that we both need and enjoy.

My son is 3 months old and has been sleeping through the night since I stopped waking him (once he was up to birth weight). He used to fall asleep while breast feeding, but since I've recently stopped he fights sleep. I was rocking him and patting his bum, that always works. Tonight I used the Jonson's baby bedtime bubble bath and body lotion, I put his jammies on and placed him in his crib, he has been asleep since. I didn't have to rock him. This product is amazing and I hope it works for you too.

I agree that every family is different and you have to do what is right for your baby, but the notion that a three month old has the cognitive skill and reasoning ability to process being allowed to cry for 10 minutes and allow that to affect him or her as an adult is complete hogwash. A parent who gives their child all of the love, nourishment, and support they can is NOT a monster just because they want to get some sleep at night. We have been doing a bedtime routine with our daughter since she was 2 weeks old. 99% of the time, she will go right to sleep when she gets in the crib, the other 1% she will whine (not cry) for maybe a minute before passing out. I am SO grateful that she is able to comfort herself to sleep, and this also means that if she wakes during the night and doesn't need a diaper change or feeding, she will put herself right back to sleep!

My 7-month-old son has always been a difficult sleeper. Once he's asleep he does okay; the problem is just getting him there. He has always fought and cried so that it was really hard to get him to sleep, despite a consistent bedtime routine. Finally I couldn't hold him any more as he fought in my arms, and I had no choice but to put him in bed awake. He actually responded much better than I thought, but I have never made him cry it out. I will stay in there as long as I need to until he goes to sleep (as long as he's not just playing in his crib). He doesn't cry as long as I (or my husband) am in there with him, and even though it takes a while for him to finally drift off sometimes, it is worth it to me to know that he is comforted and not left to feel abandoned. He fights going to sleep less now than he did when I was rocking him to sleep every night, and he doesn't wake up crying nearly as much. Although still not a perfect sleeper, this method has made him a much better one.

I'm very lucky, I got a naturally good sleeper, as soon as he was swaddled to sleep, he slept through. The most important thing isn't how to get your baby to sleep through the night, but making sure, when they nap through the day you collapse in a heap somewhere and shut your eyes for a mo, I promise you the housework will still be there once you get back up, or when your other half get's home from work! Try and remember to enjoy it, you'll miss it when it's gone. Things can wait, get the other half to do something useful, his day doesn't end when the office shuts anymore (a message I am still trying to drill into my partner), you're both working 24 hours a day but if you both pitch in it makes it much more bearable.

obviously every baby is different. Mine got use to cuddling with me in bed & it was super easy for us & not so much for my husband who spent nearly 9 mo. sleeping on the floor! She got too old for the bed when I couldn't sleep peacefully for fear she might roll right off. Its been challenging and hard for all of us. I'm starting to get her use to the crib again as a bed & not a play pen. Today I tried giving her the milk & she woke up as I attempted to stand up and lay her in the crib. I put her in anyways with a few small toys. She cried & would stop. I would hear her play with the toys & after along while I checked on her & she fell asleep! A huge success for this tired mom. If a baby isnt screaming I say try letting them cry. Its not going to hurt them if you give her love through out the day & any other time she cries. I still have along road a head & a dad who hates to hear his princess cry but for this mom teaching her to sleep it out is worth it!

Silverman: Islanders Have Opportunity To Make Name For Themselves Again
No, this team will not bring back the echoes of the great Islanders dynasty of 30-plus years ago. They are not going to win the Stanley Cup this year. But this team is young, hungry and improving. They have become the team that nobody wants to play.

All I'm going to say about this is that we got what we deserved. If we wanted utopia, we got it. If we asked for graphic design to be simplified to accommodate as many n00bz as possible, we got it. Every designer has to find their own way, their own principles. Then apply those principles to their work with diligence and loyalty. Running back into the comfort of old forms or styles of the past (see Swiss Modernism) won't save us. We have a well-connected community but we don't use it to help each other. We don't discuss each others work in critical or constructive ways. Pertaining to this example, what is boring about this design meme is the stability. You can have insane, skewed, chopped up, warped letterforms but they're so often placed in triangular, centered layouts. There is some rhythm, but the plane is filled. How is tension created? How does proportion and scale play a role in this? etc. etc. If anyone would like to discuss this further feel free to message me.

CMUD MEETING with MINT HILL AREA HOAs
July 31, 2014
Mint Hill Town Hall
Barry Shearin, Deputy Director of CMUD, met with HOA members from Ashe Plantation, Farmwood East and Oxford Glen, to discuss the progress of negotiations between CMUD and AQUA NC for the acquisition by CMUD of water and sewer service to the named residential developments.
Barry reported that the sale of the water service to CMUD has an agreed upon price for all three developments. Cost of the purchase price was calculated on a per-individual property basis to satisfy both partners to the sale. AQUA NC was more willing to sell off their water customers in the area due, in part, to negative publicity about quality of service over the past year or more. As a consequence, the negotiations proceeded without great delay.
CMUD then began negotiations for the purchase of the sewer rights. AQUA NC, having little incentive to sell the service, asked for a payment almost double what CMUD had first offered. At this point, negotiations have reached an approximate $800 difference between what CMUD can pay and what AQUA NC will accept. Again, this amount is based on a single-property basis. ($800 x 200 properties in a development = $160,000).
Barry also explained that the sewage treatment plants at both Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen are small "package plants," which would require more costly oversight and maintenance on a per-household basis than if the communities were part of a modern, large waste treatment facility, which is the norm for most CMUD customers. He surmised that the Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen treatment facilities would each require one employee who would be servicing only hundreds, rather than hundreds of thousands, of customers each day. That cost would be significant for CMUD.
Although Farmwood East also has a small package plant, its proximity to an existing CMUD sewer line makes that purchase feasible. With that sale, CMUD can immediately tie the community into its system without having to take on the expense of maintaining its older treatment package plant as it would for both Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen.
Although CMUD and AQUA are in agreement on the water sale, Barry would like to try some further negotiations with regard to the sewer matter.
A question was raised regarding future plans for a CMUD pumping station in the Goose Creek/Stevens Creek area which would tie in with the eventual construction of The Bridges of Mint Hill. He asked if, after the Bridges of Mint Hill is built, CMUD's (new) waste water pump station would impact Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen. Barry said that Oxford Glen may be too far east of the plant's location and service area. Ashe Plantation is in a different drainage basin and is not able to be served by The Bridges pumpstation. Also of importance is the possibility of further development around the two existing subdivisions. Brian Welch, Mint Hill Town Manager, noted that the 300 acres land behind Oxford Glen is land designated by Federal/Mecklenburg County as a nature preserve, so development is unlikely.
Barry went on to explain that, in the usual development of a subdivision, the developer builds the entire infrastructure, including pipes for water and sewer lines with the intent to donate the latter to an existing municipal utility. Where municipal service is not available, the water/sewer system is either transferred to the HOA or sold/donated to a private company to own and operate.
When asked if the transition from AQUA to CMUD is immediate once the sales price is reached, Barry explained that he first had to submit the terms to his Director, then to Charlotte City Council and the Utility Commission. He feels confident that the purchase by CMUD will be approved. The process could take four to six months.
At this point, Barry stated, Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen are "off the table" for a possible purchase of sewer service by CMUD.
When asked how far apart CMUD and AQUA are on a purchase price for the sewer lines, Barry responded some $800 per household. Those attending the meeting asked if the subdivisions themselves could pay at least some of that difference to facilitate the sale. Barry will discuss it with his Director. The logistics of this possible payment by individual homeowners would be made directly to CMUD without AQUA being informed of the source.
We have water! With CMUD approved by Aqua, it could be in by the end of 2014 or sooner. This was approved after our meeting.
Responding to an inquiry by Sharon Decker about reinstating discussions for sewage treatment by CMUD if homeowners paid part of the cost, Barry took Ashe Plantation and Oxford Glen back to the Table after the meeting. CMUD agreed to pay half of the sewer costs if homeowners would pay the other half.
CMUD approved to take over sewer rights. We need to have CMUD take both water and sewer for the best cost for homeowners. If we leave sewer with Aqua we cannot stop Aqua from a rate increase each year. Personal Costs to transfer to CMUD would be $400 per household.
For Ashe Plantation, if you remember the form we signed for CMUD, the initial costwas $1,600 per household. We had over 80 percent of Ashe Plantation homeowners sign it in order for CMUD to take us over and that was approved by CMUD. Aqua has pushed those costs significantly higher. Negotiations between CMUD and Aqua NC were halted while the two were still apart by $800 per household. By bridging that $800 gap with financial contributions from both CMUD and the homeowners, we will still make this happen. Our out-of-pocket costs per household will be $400.00.
Since my water runs $270 - $300 per month, $400 is a "drop in the bucket" for Ashe Plantation to have great water and not have to face a rate increase every time we turn around. It seems to be a very small portion to pay for both improved water and sewer service.
To reaffirm ...
Initially, talks between CMUD and Aqua NC broke down when the difference between CMUD and Aqua NC for negotiated sewer transfer costs to CMUD from Aqua was $800 per household in Ashe Plantation. CMUD has agreed with Ashe Plantation representatives to cover one-half of that cost differencE ($400). Ashe Plantation households will each cover the other half of the cost ($400).
As soon as I know more information about a specific timeline for transfers and payment schedules, I will let you know.

quality heater 12/31/2013
Reviewer: Join the Revolution
I have owned MANY, let me STRESS- MANY, heaters. I decided to try the Jager brand. I have it connected to a controller and it works very well. The build is robust, not flimsy plastic. Compared to other heater, this is accuracy- which is important. Remember all heater will fail with age, but if I get a solid 3-5years with this ( and they have been known to) then I will be happy. oversize your heater or double your heaters to provide less demand on your heaters makng their elements less prone to failure. Bigger is better in this case.

The Olsen Twins are making high-priced minimalist fashions for older women, reports Ray A. Smith in The Wall Street Journal (5/15/14). The Twins — Mary-Kate and Ashley — are now 27, and a lifetime away from their starring role in Full House. They've also evolved their fashion empire, The Row, from a T-Shirt design, which led to "the blazer and then the legging." Perhaps their most famous — and controversial — item was the "$39,000 alligator backpack that The Row began selling in 2011," which "reportedly sold out."
The T-Shirt, by the way, which Mary-Kate describes as "perfect," sells for $280, and that blazer runs about $1,300. But after eight years in business, "high-end retailers call the line a success," and the Twins just opened their first store, in Los Angeles. The intended customer is in her 40s or 50s, says Ashley, adding "it really could be any age. She's — the women that I know are — sophisticated, very educated within the world of fashion." But The Row's image is set by "runway models from decades past," such as Lauren Hutton, 70.
Savile Row is the inspiration for The Row's name, "the idea of made-to-measure clothing," says Mary-Kate. The question, for some, is why ostensibly simple items cost so much. Mary-Kate starts the answer by noting their clothing is "made in the US," and Ashley finishes the thought by saying "we're competitively priced." Their handbags are pricey, meanwhile, because they're made in Italy. Many of their bags also feature expensive linings such as linen, and are made with "rare and exclusive materials," like crocodile, for instance.

Good Life, Good Death: Tibetan Wisdom on Reincarnation
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Rinpoche Gaelek is a heartfelt, tender teacher with a vast analytic mind." (Allen Ginsberg)
It's what everyone wants to know-do I survive death? Where do I go? What do I become? Now, Rinpoche Gaelek, expert in the ancient teachings of reincarnation, helps us examine the four questions most of us ask ourselves: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How do we get there?
Good Life, Good Death is organized around these four questions and their surprising answers. Rinpoche Gaelek lays out his own personal experience and techniques, tested over the course of twenty-five hundred years, that teach us how to take control over our lives and our fears, now and for the future. He writes about the physical reality of dying; the mental reality; when death actually occurs (it's not when the heart and brain stop); where we go after death; and how we can know ahead of time where we're going. He demonstrates how Einstein's theories can help us understand Buddhist mechanics of living and dying. For the first time in English, he also shares stories from great masters who have returned from death-not after a few minutes as in near-death experiences, but after days and even weeks. In fact, like other Buddhist teachers he believes that near-death experiences are just that-near death, but not actually crossing over.

Hi all
I have been working on to add wildcard matching support
for ncat so that it can accept wildcard ssl certificates aswell.
But i have a problem in implementation of matching rules
as there are different RFCs (like RFC 2595,RFC 2818,RFC 4513)
saying different matching rules.
Moreover the browsers and other ssl clients also had their own
wildcard matching rules without following any of the RFCs.
The slide No.5 of this presentation explains these differences
in wildcard matching rules very briefly.
see this site for more info on this issue:
First i thought of implementing the IE's way of doing this as those rules
are pretty close to what RFC 2818 says and more secure but
later taken aback after some discussion with david.
We decided to find out first how common is the usage
of wildcard certifiates and thereby either leaving this completely
or making it a low priority if there aren't many.For this we thought
of having a SSL certificate retrieval NSE script which scans
10,000 SSL web servers and see what they have in their certificates.
Any further thoughts,opinions and suggestions please :)

HIV & AIDS Health Center
Dangerous Intersection of Drug Use and Sexual HIV Transmission Points to Critical Need for Comprehensive HIV Prevention
For injection drug users who cannot or will not stop injecting drugs, using sterile needles and syringes only once remains the safest, most effective approach for limiting HIV transmission.
To minimize the risk of HIV transmission, IDUs must have access to interventions that can help them protect their health. They must be advised to always use sterile injection equipment; warned never to reuse needles, syringes, and other injection equipment; and told that using syringes that have been cleaned with bleach or other disinfectants is not as safe as using new, sterile syringes.
Having access to sterile injection equipment is important, but it is not enough.
Preventing the spread of HIV through injection drug use requires a wide range of approaches, including:
- preventing initiation of drug injection
- using community outreach programs to reach drug users on the streets
- improving access to high quality substance abuse treatment programs
- instituting HIV prevention programs in jails and prisons
- providing health care for HIV-infected IDUs
- making available HIV risk-reduction counseling and testing for IDUs and their sex partners
Better integration of all prevention and treatment services is critically needed.
HIV prevention and treatment, substance abuse prevention, and sexually transmitted disease treatment and prevention services must be better integrated to take advantage of the multiple opportunities for intervention -- first, to help the uninfected stay that way; second, to help infected people stay healthy; and third, to help infected individuals initiate and sustain behaviors that will keep themselves safe and prevent transmission to others.

Dozens of dentistry schools in the U.S. provide low-cost dental care to the public. Licensed, professional dentists carefully monitor the work of trained students to ensure quality care.
Low-Cost Dental Help
Dental care is an important part of overall health, but it can be prohibitively expensive for low-income people. Fortunately, a few options for receiving basic and major dental care at a reduced cost are available in many parts of the United States.
Dental Schools
Community Centers
The federal government, through the Department of Health and Human Services, provides funding for hundreds of community medical centers, where the cost of care is determined by your income level. These clinics often provide affordable dental care in addition to other medical care.
The United Way collaborates with thousands of charitable groups to provide a hotline, reached by dialing 2-1-1, which is available throughout most of the United States. The staff can help you locate affordable dental care along with other social services. In addition to dental schools and federally funded clinics, you may be connected with other charities and outreach programs in your community that provide low-cost dental care or assistance with dental bills.
