Caitlin Volunteers With Christmas in October [PICS]
Posted in Community Service, General Information on October 16, 2014
Many of you know that we have a soft spot in our hearts for not-for-profit organizations. We try to give back throughout the year. Recently, Caitlin volunteered with Christmas in October.
Christmas in October is a not-for-profit organization focused on bringing volunteers and communities together to improve the homes and lives of low-income, elderly, disabled and Veteran homeowners.
Christmas in October selected an elderly woman named Linda to receive help getting a bunch of important home projects done. Caitlin showed up at Linda's home with 10 other volunteers on Saturday for a full day of work. The fun thing is that Linda's neighbors came over to share that Christmas in October had helped with their house last year!
Linda's home was built in 1917 and the basement windows did not shut or seal any more. Caitlin and the team scraped the old peeling paint off of the window frames, repaired/replaced wood damaged by rot and termites, and then painted the wood and trimmed down the windows so they would close and seal. Linda's basement will be nice and warm this winter!
Back Door
The volunteers also replaced her back door. The old door was rotten and not meant to be used as an exterior door. The new external door was made of metal and will protect against the elements.
There were electrical engineers that volunteered that day, and they were able to install a new flood light right next to the new back door for added security. They went on to install two new lights in Linda's basement, and a new light in her kitchen.
Linda was having some trouble with the plumbing in her only bathroom. The team was able to replace many of the plumbing lines and fixtures and get things working properly again.
Caitlin and the team helped replace the stairs on Linda's deck. They also added a new hand rail, replaced an existing hand rail, and added additional structural support to the deck.
It was a good day and a lot of work was done to help Linda have a more comfortable and safe home. She was on her front porch throughout the day and kept telling the team how much she appreciated their efforts. It's an awesome feeling when you know you have really helped someone!
Are You Tired of Forgetting Your Passwords? Roboform is the Answer.
Posted in General Information on October 7, 2014
We market and manage hundreds of homes for our clients. An important part of marketing the homes we manage is making sure they are listed on popular rental websites.
Did you know that we advertise the homes we rent on more than twenty different websites?
The days of having the same user name and password for all of those websites are gone. If one of your accounts gets hacked, there is a good chance the hackers will try the hacked user name and password on other websites as well. There are too many security breaches reported every month.
As a best practice, we have a different user name and password for the various websites we use. We also make sure the passwords are really hard to hack… they are long and have lots of letters, numbers and special characters.
With so many websites to log into, we have a bunch of complicated user names and passwords to remember. For most people, this is a painful reality, and they are constantly clicking the "password reminder" link because they forgot their password.
A few years ago, we started using software called Roboform Everywhere, and it is excellent. It has solved the problem of managing our user names and passwords!
Roboform Makes It Easy To Manage Your Passwords
Roboform Everywhere works on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Basically, you can get to all of your user names and passwords after signing in to Roboform. If you change a password on one of the sites you log into, that change gets synched to all of your devices!
Roboform makes logging into various websites very efficient.
All you have to do is click on a saved login and Roboform will open that login page in your browser, automatically fill in the user name and password, and then submit the form. Now you are logged in and ready to go!
Roboform has a password generator built in.
Any time you set up a new account for a website, you can use the built in password creator to make a new, complicated password. Once you log in with this complicated password, Roboform will save those credentials for you and you don't have to remember what the password was.
You might think we were "overdoing it a bit" if we told you that Roboform has changed our lives. But that isn't far from the truth. We were spending a lot of time logging into websites and resetting passwords from month to month, and that rarely happens now. It is amazing to be able to click on a password link in Roboform and be taken there and logged in automatically.
What does it cost? $20 per year. (Not per month, per YEAR!)
To learn more about Roboform Everywhere, be sure to visit their website. This has been a public service announcement from your friends at Home Rental Services, Inc.
KVC Adopt An Angel – Do Something Awesome For The Holidays!
Posted in General Information on October 2, 2014
Every year, Home Rental Services and our employees provide presents for kids in foster care through KVC's Adopt An Angel program. We adopted 18 kids last year and hope to be able to adopt even more this year!
We thought it would be a good idea to talk about "giving back for the holidays" early this year. Our hope is that this blog post will inspire you or your company to do something awesome for the holidays to help others in need. If you have other not-for-profit organizations that you work with during the holidays, please let us know in the comments area at the end of this post.
It is amazing how much giving back will get you into the holiday spirit. It's a great opportunity for you and your friends, company, or small group to do together! The best part is that you KNOW you are helping someone have a brighter Christmas.
It's the Ultimate Secret Santa experience for these kids. Think about it. Someone they don't know is willing to step up and say, "I love you" and show that love by giving them presents for the holidays when they might not have gotten anything otherwise.
Check out our KVC blog posts from the past three years for pics!
- 2013 – Making Sure 18 Kids Have a Merry Christmas!
- 2012 – Ready for the Holidays?
- 2011 – Making Sure Ten Kids Have a Merry Christmas!
We will be doing a follow up blog post for 2014 in November with pics.
More on KVC's Adopt An Angel Program
KVC's Adopt an Angel Program is a way for individuals, families and businesses to work together to make the holidays brighter for children in foster care. You are not actually adopting a child, but instead making a commitment to give them the gifts they have their hearts set on.
KVC's Adopt an Angel team collects presents, gift cards and monetary donations to make sure each child in foster care has a happy holiday. Imagine living away from home during the holiday season and wondering if you will have gifts to open. Without your giving, children in foster care may not have the holiday season they are hoping for.

Posted in General Information on September 25, 2014
On Tuesday, September 23rd, we attended the Overland Park Chamber's networking event, "Overland Park Chamber After Hours: Museum at Prairiefire". David, Melissa, Chris and Josh had a great time seeing the "Mythic Creatures" exhibit while networking with other Kansas City businesses. The food was provided by Rock & Brews, and they loved the calamari and soft pretzels. There were more than 100 people in attendance, one of the largest Overland Park Chamber After Hours events in recent history.
We enjoyed visiting the new museum and would recommend it to everyone. You can also check out the new movie theater, restaurants and bocci ball center in the Prairiefire development. If you go to the theater (called Cinetopia), be sure to check out the GXL theaters with the new Dolby Atmos sound system… it is amazing!

Labor Day Royals Outing for Home Rental Services
Posted in General Information on September 2, 2014
Team building is an important part of our company culture. For the fourth year in a row, we took our team to a Royals Game! The Royals won against the Texas Rangers with a final score of 4-3! For more details on the game, check out this article in the Kansas City Star.
We had a great turnout of around 25 people between staff, family and significant others. Kandy treated the entire staff to one of the All Star Suites. These are great because you have an air conditioned area inside to meet and drop off food, and you just walk through a door to get to the stadium chairs to watch the game.
The weather was so nice that everyone stayed outside this year. It was great to spend time together away from work.
An interesting conversation that came up was how much it costs to run the stadium lights at night. The lights were so bright that it almost felt like daytime. After some quick research on our phones, we found that running the lights for a game costs between $30,000 and $50,000, and that's just to light the field. That doesn't include the concession areas or other utilities!
We also talked about the size of the high definition scoreboard. Did you know it is the second largest screen in major league baseball? For a listing of all screen sizes by team, click here for the PDF infographic.
What do you do in your company to get your team together? We would love some ideas for future events, so please leave those ideas in the comments below!
2014 Trends Show Renting May Be The Best Option For Middle Class
Posted in General Information on August 26, 2014
We've seen a lot of information over the past few months that talk about how hard it's becoming for the middle class to buy a home. As a result, renting a home is becoming a more attractive alternative to buying a home.
An article from the Huffington Post talks about the 4 main reasons this is happening:
1) Home prices are rising faster than wage increases
The simple math behind this trend is that homes are becoming less affordable for the middle class. The housing recovery is in full swing, but cost of living and merit raises are not keeping up. The options are to buy a smaller house or rent.
2) Lending standards have been tightened dramatically
The average FICO score for Fannie Mae loans that closed in 2007 was around 715. In 2013, the average FICO score was 753, a significant increase in the required credit worthiness of potential borrowers. In other words, you've got to have an excellent credit rating score to get a reasonably priced loan. For the people that have less than stellar credit scores, the options are to go with a higher priced FHA loan or rent.
3) Lower inventory of homes for sale
In 2006, the average supply of homes available was around 5 months. During the recession, the average got as high as 12 months of supply. (This meant nobody was selling their homes, usually because they were upside down on the value of their home versus what they owed on their home). In January of 2014, we are back to the average of 5 months of inventory. This means that there are fewer houses on the market to be bought.
4) Investors are grabbing all the homes they can
There is no question that this is happening in Kansas City. We are helping more institutional investors that want us to manage multiple houses for them. There are lots of investors out there that held onto their cash during the recession. As the recovery continues, and home prices and mortgage rates stay relatively low, investors are putting that cash to good use by buying real estate and renting the homes to generate passive income. This means competition for homes has gone up while the available inventory of homes as mentioned above has gone down.
These trends result in it being harder to buy a home. Renting a home continues to be a strong alternative for the middle class.
Prospective Renters – Have You Used Our NotifyMe Service?
Posted in How To on August 19, 2014
Have you heard about our NotifyMe email service? Home Rental Services offers a convenient tool to prospective renters who are looking for a home to lease. You simply register your email address (never sold, shared or compromised), the price range, size and geographical area of the home you are looking for. When Home Rental Services activates a new listing (which happens often!), you will receive an email notification of the new listing immediately. This tool keeps you from having to visit our web site for new or edited listings. It will notify you within seconds of the home being listed for lease, and allows you the first chance to view and/or lease the home.

Top 10 Tips – Preparing Your Home For Fall
Posted in General Information on August 12, 2014
We wanted to provide a great list of fall maintenance tips for our renters. Please look through the list below and let us know if there are any items that you need us to coordinate on your behalf with Derek and Joshua, our property managers!
1. Change the air filters in your home: If you have a central air conditioning system, change the air filter regularly. If you have a window air conditioning unit, remove from the window or place a waterproof cover over it to prevent damage during the winter. Change the filters in stove vents, clothes dryers and room fans if applicable. (Clean air filters will keep your family healthier in the fall months!)
2. Examine your gutters and downspouts for debris: Clear any leaves and dirt from gutters and examine downspouts for damage or loose pieces. If the gutters on your home are too high to get to safely, submit a maintenance request so that we can have a company do the work on your behalf.
3. Check your faucets for leaks: Before the temperatures start to drop, be sure to look at your faucets for any leaks. If you find any problems, it would be better to get them fixed now versus dealing with a burst pipe in the middle of winter.
4. Remove leaves from the grass and flower beds: It is very important to remove leaves from the grass and flower beds as they begin to fall, before the ice and snow come. If you don't pick up the leaves, there is a good chance they'll kill the grass and landscaping which is expensive to repair.
5. Disconnect water hoses from exterior faucets: If you leave the hoses connected to your water faucets, you run the risk of the freezing which can break the supply line. The simple fix is to simply disconnect the hoses. We recommend that you store the hoses in your garage to help them last longer!
6. Prepare your fireplace: If you have a working, wood burning fireplace, make sure the damper is open to allow air to freely move through the chimney. Check the damper handle and springs to ensure the flue is operating correctly.
7. Have your lawn and garden power tools serviced: Once your grass begins to go dormant, take your lawnmower, trimmer, and other power tools to get their engines serviced, blades sharpened and fluids topped off. People are surprised when they take their equipment in and are told that it will take weeks to get them back. This happens because everyone else is doing the same thing. Get in early to avoid the delay and your tools will be ready to go! We recommend Smitty's Lawn and Garden.
8. Clean and store seasonal outdoor furniture: Store cushions in a dry area to prevent cracking, and fading over the fall and winter months. Once spring arrives, you will be pleased that you stored them and they're ready for use!
9. Examine the grounds of your property: Check walkways for cracks and loose paving material. Report any major problems with your walkway and entryway areas before slippery weather can cause someone to have an accident.
10. Check windows and doors for drafts: The conditioned air in your home is lost through leaky windows and doors. Go through your home and make sure the seal and caulking around the window frame is in good condition. Think of adding heavier drapery around windows that are extra drafty, to help block air loss. This will make a difference in your heating and air conditioning bills!
David Works Hard At Habitat For Humanity! [PICS]
Posted in General Information on July 29, 2014
We think it's important to give back to the community, and we get involved in various not-for-profits throughout the year to try and make a difference. Our very own David Carey recently volunteered for a day of hard work with Habitat for Humanity! He joined a larger group from the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors that was volunteering.
Here are David's thoughts on the experience:
I've had the bug to work on a construction project for a few months, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to do something I enjoy and help others. I have been wanting to participate in Habitat for Humanity through church, and it just so happened that Church of the Resurrection was at the same site on the same day! We started out at a house that was ready for siding, but there were too many volunteers, so a small group (including myself) split off to a second job site to work on exterior painting. We were able to get two coats of paint on the front of the house.
After lunch, we returned to the job site to find out that they needed help at a third job site. The third location was not a new build, but a home owner that had a garage that had deteriorated to the point where it was falling down. There was another group that had torn down the garage, but the scrap needed to be hauled into the dumpster. We were able to clear the area and the home owner was very pleased. After a full day of work, I am definitely ready to go back!
Habitat's mission is to change neighborhoods, communities and lives. They do this in many ways, but primarily through organizing volunteers to build homes for low income families in the greater Kansas City Metro. Many of you are already familiar with Habitat, but if not, you would be amazed how many people/companies get involved.
Companies host "volunteer days" for their employees to come out and build together, often wearing company logo shirts to show their team spirit. Other companies donate significant amounts of materials for use in building the homes, including wood, siding, paint and nails. The technical work is overseen by qualified professionals, but the bulk of the work is straight-forward, manual labor. We can all swing a hammer, work on siding, sweep floors and paint… with a little direction!
Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is an incredibly rewarding experience. You get to see a house being built and know that the new owner would not have otherwise been able to afford it.
Fun Fact: Did you know the Kansas City chapter of Habitat for Humanity is the seventh oldest affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International? They have been helping families since 1979!
From the Habitat for Humanity Website: Home ownership represents the essence of the American Dream. It also represents the single largest investment most people make in their lifetimes. Yet for too many people, the American Dream is just that; a dream they will never realize because their income is too low to qualify through conventional means to purchase a home. Habitat for Humanity believes to break the cycle of poverty, low income families need their income spent on housing to serve two purposes: provide a decent, affordable place to raise a family and build wealth through home ownership.

The Leadership Foundation supports the leadership and management of organisational change and the development of higher education institutions in a number of ways:
What is Organisational Development?
The field of organisational development (OD) is concerned with the performance, development and effectiveness of human organisations. An organisation is defined as two or more people brought together by one or more shared goals (Wikipedia, 2005).
OD is work that focuses on how an organisation functions. In essence, organisational development in higher education is about helping the HEI to harness more of its collective talents in order to succeed in its various joint endeavours: enhancing the quality of the student experience; supporting and directing the expansion and extension of the field of human knowledge and understanding; or establishing thriving enterprise ventures. The benefits from OD actions can be described in terms of an organisation's capacity to learn and change.
The ODHE Group
The UK Organisational Development Group is a long standing community of practice. Its members are higher education professionals engaged in organisational change and development. More information about the group's membership and activities is available from the ODHE Group pages.

He is the universe's last chance, as many Lanterns have been killed and the Corps is weakened. And he might just be the right Lantern for the job of keeping the world safe from harm.

In a pair of classic Regency-era Christmas romance novels from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh, the holidays herald the greatest gift of all: unexpected, all-consuming love.
The very wealthy Edgar Downes has promised his aging father to finally take a bride--specifically, to wed a titled lady by Christmas. London is full of pretty, proper, and eligible misses, but it's the widow Helena, Lady Stapleton, in a shocking red dress, who captures Edgar's attention. Helena is intrigued by the seductive stranger--but he's simply not in her class. Marriage, of course, would never do. But in a season of miracles, something wondrous is about to happen.
Not even the warm, forgiving Christmas spirit can stop the Marquess of Denbigh from settling his score with Judith Easton: The beautiful young widow injured Denbigh's pride years ago by jilting him for another man. Now that Judith is free from a nightmare marriage, the handsome marquess has her in his sights--and wants her in his arms. But to trust the tender words on his lips, Judith must not only see past the hardness of his heart, but learn once again to trust her own heart's desire.
Chapter One
Mr. Edgar Downes had decided to take a bride.
Doubtless he should have made up his mind to do so long before he did, since he was six-and-thirty years old and had both a high respect for matrimony and a fondness for family life. But the truth was that he had procrastinated. He had felt caught between two worlds. He was not a gentleman. He was the son of a Bristol merchant who had grown enormously wealthy over the years and had eventually purchased and renovated a grand mansion and estate near Bristol and retired to live there like a gentleman. Edgar had been educated at the best schools, had become a respected and successful lawyer, and then had taken over his father's business.
He was hugely wealthy in his own right. He had received a gentleman's education. He spoke and dressed as a gentleman. He would inherit Mobley Abbey on his father's death. He was extremely eligible. But he was not a gentleman by birth, and in certain circles that fact made all the difference in the world.
He had thought about marrying someone of his own kind. At various points during his adulthood he had even singled out a few daughters or sisters of his middle-class acquaintances as possible wives. But he had never felt that he quite belonged in their world--not when it came to something as personal and intimate as marriage. He would have been hard put to it to explain exactly why that was so. There were certain almost puritanical attitudes in the class, perhaps, or a certain vulgar preoccupation with money and possessions for their own sake. Though neither explanation quite accounted for his discomfort.
He had thought of marrying a lady. But there had been obvious arguments against that. And they all narrowed down to one simple fact--he was not a gentleman. It was true that Cora, his sister and only sibling, had married a younger son of a duke seven years before and had become Lady Francis Kneller as a result. It was true, too, that Edgar got along remarkably well with his exceedingly elegant brother-in-law and with those of their aristocratic friends he had met. But though Cora's marriage appeared to be bowling along very nicely indeed and had produced four bouncing children, Lord Francis would not in the normal course of events have wed her. It was her disastrous tendency to play heroine without pausing for one hundredth part of a second to consider the wisdom of her actions that had forced him on more than one occasion to her rescue and to compromising circumstances at the same time. Finally, poor fellow, he had had no choice--as a gentleman--but to take on a leg shackle and Cora all at the same time.
Lord Francis Kneller and his friends--the Earl of Thornhill, for example, or the Marquess of Carew or the Duke of Bridgwater--might be quite prepared to treat Mr. Edgar Downes, Lady Francis's brother, as a friendly acquaintance. But would they be happy to watch him woo and wed their sisters or cousins if he so chose, and if there were any such females available? It was a question Edgar could not answer with any certainty since he had never posed it to any of the gentlemen concerned, but he could make an educated guess.
Some lesser gentleman with a daughter difficult to fire off in a more acceptable manner--due to impoverishment or lack of beauty or a shrewish nature, perhaps--might be very willing to ally her to a cit, to a lawyer-turned-merchant who also happened to be as wealthy as all but a few of the bluest-blooded lords in the land and with as much more wealth again to inherit on the death of his father. That lesser gentleman, however, would believe in his heart--and all the genteel world would believe with him--that he...

Im tryimg to decide on a flashgun to supplement my kit. I dont do a lot of flash photography but want something that will give me more flexibility than the built in flash on my canon 350d.
Have been looking at cheaper models like nissin, metz, sunpak and even jessops own (really cheap at the moment), rather than shelling out a couple of hundred on a canon speedlite, my main question is what are the benefits of a swivel head. Budget it is around the £100 mark.
Will be doing a little bit of portrait photography, also looking at the good old nifty fifty lens
Hope you can help
There's bounce (sometimes called swivel) and swivel.
Bounce lets you angle the head upwards so the flash bounces off the ceiling. Swivel lets you rotate sideways so you bounce off a wall. Both have their benefits. If you turn the camera through 90 degrees to do portrait format and keep the flash on the camera's hot shoe, then the roles of the bounce and swivel are reversed. So you then need swivel if you want to bounce off the ceiling. A way around this is to take the flash off the camera using a bracket or stand or hand held.
I still use an old Vivitar 283 it's as accurate as I need and more robust than many modern guns. You don't get TTL but the automatic control is accurate, and you can still find accessories to reduce power, bounce, and filter the flash. The extension cord is well worth having. You'll pick one up on eBay for anything up to £50.
No doubt someone will be along soon to suggest a suitable TTL option. This will be better if you want a more automated system and to take advantage of more modern flash features.
A must have for flexibility is swivel/bounce, Or you might just as well use the on-board.
You can use a sidemount, That has a hotshoe bracket, Some have adjustable hotshoe fittings, That can in some cases give you the same flexibility as a swivel, Whilst using a basic bounce head flash.
Some of the older side mounts are better ( and cheaper via ebay ) than some of the modern offerings.
That said sidemounts don't suit everyone......!
You can pick up a used Canon 430EX on ebay for about £120-£140. Its a great started flash gun. It can bounce/swivel and have manual control. This would be my first choice for Canon digital shooter.
I don't do a lot of flash/ lighting work so please shoot me down if you wish, but recently I bought a radio trigger and 3 receivers on ebay from the far east they came with brolly brackets which will attach to either light stands or tripods, the radio device will trigger any flash light with a centre pin all for £54.
I also purchased an additional old Jessops speedlite on ebay for £7 that will trigger with this set to go with my EX580 and Ex430.
For the limited amount of studio work I do, I could have this had set up ie 3 old manual flashes, triggers and holders for about £75, but would would have been restricetd to shooting flash manually.
But hang on a minute, thats what I usually end up doing any way even when using ETTL controlled flashes on tripods, move them about , shoot, check images, move about again.
My point is why bother when you are learning, just get any old flashes compatible with the radio triggers and experiment

Quote: Any thoughts on the nissin d622
Looking at the spec, The fact that it can swivel/bounce etc.
I'd say it would do the job very well, Its more powerfull than a similar priced Sigma unit, And its half the average retail of the Canon 430EX......
Can't go wrong really.....
Quote: I dont do a lot of flash photography but want something that will give me more flexibility than the built in flash on my canon 350d.
The Nissin was probably made for you.....
PhotoPlus ran a test on flashguns for the entry level canons in August 2009, and the Nissen Di622 was included there. The main disadvantages against the winner (Canon's own 430EXII) were noisy zoom and recyling, no LCD so you'd have to use the camera's LCD to change settings and the fact it wouldn't operate as a slave unit. The overall conclusion was that it offered the best performance at the £100 mark even with limited controls on the unit itself.
Thats another vote for the 622. I use one on my 400D, and it does all i ask of it - and at half the cost of the Canon own flash. It swivels, twists and has built in reflector and diffuser, and can also act as a slave unit - got mine from 7 day shop as well - go for it!!
That does it, just ordered the 622, just got to wait for the postman. Thanks everyone for your advice

Fri Lunch Downtown/Sat Dinner NW
- Niki in Dayton Oct 17, 2008 06:39 PM
We'll be Chicago for a long weekend, staying in Arlington Hts. We plan to take the train downtown Friday to play, eat, and drink before heading back to the hotel in the late afternoon. Food and wine are our primary motivaters, but we enjoy culture of all types--from funky to philharmonic. Seeking recommendations for great lunch near any interesting sights. We've done the Art Institute before, and Sears Tower but otherwise are Chicago-novices. We 've been to Toplobompo, Frontera Grill, and Bin 36 on other visits (all years ago)
1st Question: If you had 3 or 4 hours to eat, drink, and see something cool kind of on the way to/from the train in downtown Chicago, where would you go? Assume you enjoy all types of food, but are particularly fond of Thai, seafood, and anything that's tough to find in Dayton OH. Cru sounds good, but maybe just for wine instead of lunch? Any great food/interesting sights near Cru?
2nd Question: If you had a car, but didn't want to travel more than 10 miles or so from Arlington Hts (near the track), where would you go for dinner on Saturday eve? For this meal, one person can't eat spicy, and one isn't really a red meat eater (no steakhouses), but all other options including ethnic are on the table. Main criteria is excellent food. Years ago, we generally ate at a tapas place near the train station, but don't even know if it's still there.
Thanks, Chicago hounds. Your suggestions are appreciated!
re: Niki in Dayton
Thanks, folks! I appreciate all of your suggestions and will report back when we return. We'll only have time for a few meals on our own, as we're attending a social function and many events and meals are part of the program, however, I'm sure the meals we do get to pick will be the better for your advice!
Do you still want to do downtown attractions/eats or are you wlling to take an El once you get off the metra? If so, I'd recommend getting on the Blue line and exploring the Wicker Park/ Bucktown area. Or taking the Brown line and going to the Lincoln Square area. If you go the Lincoln Square route, get off at Western. Some of the top-notch Thai places are on that stretch. Search Spoon Thai on this board.
Give me some time to think about downtown...I lived in the city for several years and sometimes just being spontaneous ended up with the best results. Just being downtown is awesome in itself.
But I am fond of a Tapas restuarant right off the tracks in downtown Arlington Heights called La Tasca. They do not take reservations so just go a little early and then explore the area.
There are two spots right in Arlington Heights which I would definitely recommend. Yanni's Greek Restaurant has EXCELLENT food and a wonderful atmosphere, which would make for a great Saturday evening dinner. We have gone multiple times to Greek town to eat and other Greek places and none measure up. It has tons of fish specials and other food for the non-red meat eater.
Try visiting Mitsuwa Japanese marketplace in Arlington Heights (in the same parking lot area as Yanni's). It has a grocery store and food court. It has unusual stuff that I bet would be hard to find many places, Dayton included.
There's so much to see right in downtown Chicago - the museums (especially the Art Institute; the "museum campus" with the Field Museum of Natural History and the Shedd Aquarium aren't far), the parks (our new Millennium Park is exquisite and worth an hour, easily), etc. You can find lots of information on local attractions in the Chicago Tourism and Visitors Bureau website at www.choosechicago.com If you look through there and find yourself going to some particular part of the city, let us know and we can provide nearby lunch recommendations for you.
Most downtown restaurants are open for lunch; a few quick suggestions include Blackbird ( www.blackbirdrestaurant.com ) in the West Loop near the train stations, Pizano's ( www.pizanoschicago.com ) on Madison near the Art Institute and Millennium Park for Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, and Park Grill ( www.parkgrillchicago.com ) at the entrance to Millennium Park for American cuisine including soups, salads, excellent burgers, entrees, etc.
Arlington Heights has recently developed its downtown area (right next to the train station) and several excellent restaurants are located there. altThai ( www.altthai.com ) is one of the best Thai restaurants in the suburbs. Fuego ( www.fuegomexgrill.com ) has very good, creative Mexican food. Both are only a block from the train station. Another Mexican restaurant not too far from AH is Flamingo's Seafood ( www.flamingosseafood.com ) in Mount Prospect. I've been to Yanni's, mentioned above, and it's good for Greek food. Both Flamingo's and Yanni's are away from downtown AH though.
How many is "we"? Is we=2 or we=4? And is this weekend the weekend you are coming to Chicago?
If so, I would make a pit stop over to the Daley Center (weather permitting) I would see what is happening with chicagoween. Check out Chicagoween.us for details. They usually have movies or performances in the evenings that are free and really entertaining.
If you like tapas, check out Mercat a la Planxa, a new restaurant that opened in the Blackstone hotel. If you have more than 4 people...consider ordering the roasted pig. But needs to be ordered 48 hrs in advance. http://www.mercatchicago.com/
For dinner near AH, I would recommend Flamingos Mexican Seafood. Its a cute, little place...the decor is a little like a poor man's disney ocean themed walls..but the food is fall out of your seat fantastic. Portions are huge for the price and you would easily pay 2x the price in Chicago. It should be right around the 10 mile limit/20 min drive that you are looking for. http://www.flamingosseafood.com/
re: CorinneM1
> It should be right around the 10 mile limit/20 min drive that you are looking for.
Flamingo's is four miles from downtown Arlington Heights and will take about 8 minutes to drive. Go south on Arlington Heights Road and east on Algonquin and you're there.

This is Nathaniel Deal. He is the Governor of Georgia.
About a month ago, he signed a very anti-immigration bill into law, titled HB 87
So, all over Georgia, the issue of rotting crops has been viral among the local news media, some made it global as The Economist covered it in this weeks issue, magnifying the farm labor shortages. Even before the signature of the bill, farm associations all across Georgia had advised Gov. Deal to veto such caustic act. But, Deal, who promised a more "comprehensive" legislation against immigration during his campaign trail, ignored all outcries and signed the boorish bill.
Now, reports and investigation (whitewashed) estimate that Georgia's $1.1 billion fruit-and-vegetable industry could suffer $300m loss.
Agriculture, to Georgia means a whole lot more than what most believe it to be. Away from the busy downtown sky scrapers (kind of), and highways, agriculture is the biggest industry in Georgia. It employs about 13% of state workforce, and generates about $69 billion overall.
With the crops rotting on the farm soil, and no day-laborers, (that would be our parents and our friend's parents), Governor Deal promulgated this "novel" Solution that would solve the labor shortages *(it is noted that about 70% of American Agricultural workers are undocumented). Deal's plan was to supply the estimated 11,000 jobs to unemployed probationers.
Well, there was two participating farms in a pilot program to see if this "novel solution" is even operable. Here are the results :
oopthee ?? Here is a simple quote that basically sums up the whole article:
"Those guys out here weren't out there 30 minutes and they got the bucket and just threw them in the air and say, 'Bonk this, I ain't with this. I can't do this,'" said Jermond Powell, a 33-year-old probationer working at a farm in Leslie. "They just left, took off across the field walking."
EXACTLY. those are the kind of jobs our parents and our community takes on to give a better life for us children. The pain and sacrifices they endure for OUR future. We don't even get paid that well. Don't you dare tell us that we are here to munch off your system. We paid well enough for the opportunities, this government has already restricted, through blood, sweat, and taxes.
Angered but still sincere,
The Undocumented, Unafraid, Unashamed, and Unapologetic
P.S. in your face Deal! We already told you this would happen. This isn't even counting the damages you are doing to the rest of the younger/student community.
(Bolding by me, but this is the reality that the rest of the South (and the rest of the country) needs to understand!)

Suha Lyrics - Xiu Xiu
Review The Song (2)
black lung got you down tonight
saving it all for work
suha pins her arms to her side
watching her twin want to die
i hate my body, i hate the desert
please let me escape
when will i be going home
i hate my husband, i hate my children
i'm going to hang myself
when will i be going home
black hair got you down tonight
black love black cuts from your work
weep like the busted girl you are
wash down your hope in that car
my name is suha, i'm 25 years old
i'm going to hump a cop
sponsored linkswhen will i be going home

despair | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/11/2007
a song of total despair but so beautiful, deeply moving,
a kind of completely black pureness
is life worthfull or not ?
sometimes yes
sometimes not
both at the same time

I'm a professional technical writer with... hobbies. Lots and lots of hobbies. A selection of my most active hobbies, of late:
I'm strictly an amateur photographer, and my favorite subjects are landscapes and wildlife. I'm not much good at the wildlife thing yet, probably because I lack the patience, so most of my best photos are landscapes, with an occasional air show thrown in just for fun.
Latest photo share: Alligator Swimming in Evening Light
Latest photography article: Tips for Landscape Photography in Coastal Texas
Whenever I can get away from Houston's heat and humidity, I do! I'm not picky, either. A lot of my recent trips have just been out to Arizona to visit family (I'm on a first-name basis with most places along I-10...), though I occasionally make it slightly farther afield.
Recent places of interest:
Web Development
I like to build stuff just because I can, but I tend to work at it in fits and starts. Some of my recent projects include:
- a really lousy RSS reader (seriously, I refuse to even share a link to that)
- a proof-of-concept image gallery with no management system; it pulls metadata straight out of the image
- a task and equipment management application for a boat or other small facility
Latest web dev article: Using PHP to extract a single value from a CSV file
Home Tech
I'm always on the lookout for great ways to manage multimedia and automate my life. Aren't we all? That said, I'm no early adopter; I've been on the wrong side of format wars and compatability battles too often for that ;) When I find a great product, though, I love to share, and when I solve a problem, I'll sometimes share the solution.
Latest home technology article: Why I Just Love Plex
Miscellaneous Others
I also like to spin thread and weave fabric, play with my aquarium, tease the dog, and muck about in the garden.
And sometimes I get chores done around the house. Sometimes ;)

Court Hire
TENNIS Hermaphrodite, also known as herm, refers to pornography, typically hentai, that features persons with the genitalia of both sexes. Typically featured are hitting, choking, name-calling and hair-pulling. Once insertion is complete, the fingers are either clenched into a fist or kept straight. Solo pornography recognized with AVN Awards include the All Alone series and All Natural: Glamour Solos. Detective magazines, comic books and early fetish magazines In the early 20th century, Detective magazines covertly provided a way of publishing bondage imagery. In the fetish cuckolding subculture, it is most common for the female to take on the sexually dominant role and the male the submissive role, however, female subs, sometimes referred to as cuckqueans, also exist. A bisexual threesome may involve a man having sex with a man and a woman, the woman having sex with a man and a woman, or all three having sex with each other. Concerted deployed sexual rejection exercised on the partner can be an aspect of Dominance and Submission as well. The term BDSM dates back to 1969; however, the origin of the term BDSM is unclear and is believed to have been formed either from joining the term B&D with S&M , or as a compound initialism from B&D, D&S , and S&M. They may be noted for using risque themes, graphic violence, sexuality mom sex or black comedy in a manner that is unsuitable for younger audiences. The name was coined from the title of the controversial book. Types of anal sex can also be a part of lesbian sexual practices. They may regard it as an enhancing element of their sex lives or as their primary form of sexual activity. The most common male masturbation technique is simply to hold the penis with a loose fist and then to move the hand up and down the shaft. Some people get sexual pleasure by inserting objects, such as urethral sounds, into the urethra , a practice known as urethral play or sounding. Sexual relations between women have been illustrated as well as narrated, but much of the written material from the early modern period has been destroyed. MASON Court-Hire Toowoomba and Brisbane

It was my first time on an airplane and I must say, taking off was by far one of the best feelings in the world. I don't understand how someone could not enjoy flying, and I think the people who don't like flying must be really high maintenance entertainment wise.

Monterey 2010: Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion puts vintage racers back on track
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Aug 15th, 2010 at 6:56PM
This year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was actually the first one ever run, as there was a name change to go along with last year's change in management. The former Historics are now the Reunion, but name change aside, the event was still the same old week of wheel-to-wheel racing action. Now we know that you can see that kind of action on any given Saturday or Sunday, but the players are usually much, much newer. Classic and vintage race cars from every era of motorsports are what make this such a wonderful event. There are literally hundreds of your favorite old race cars... Read More
