Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve
Ft. Sheridan's history is closely tied to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Lt. Gen. Philip Sheridan was put in charge of settling the unrest after the fire. Members of the Commercial Club which represented Chicago businessmen petitioned to establish an artillery school and military installation north of Chicago for their safety. Ft. Sheridan is now a beautiful forest preserve with rolling terrain, bluffs and ravines full of rich history. Trails wind through the preserves for outdoor enthusiasts or tour groups may take a walking or motorcoach windshield tour of the preserve.

About ECM
August 24 , 2012
Reviews of the Week
A first reaction from the United States to András Schiff's upcoming recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's
Das Wohltemperierte Clavier
It goes without saying that Schiff provides an accurate account of all the marks on paper, reifned with a precise sense of every notes proper duration. What really matters, however, is his thorough understanding of the contrapuntal structure of any Bach selection he performs. Through his control of dynamics, these recordings offer up a crystal-clear-account of each of the participating voices, allowing the attentive listener to appreciate every detail of how those voices interact. [ ] As a result, even those who think they already know this side of Bachs work are likely to encounter new insights through listening to the recordings Schiff has made; and this set will make an excellent complement to his previous ECM recordings of both the Goldberg variations and the six partitas.
Stephen Smoliar, Examiner.com
Heiner Goebbels' work on
Stifters Dinge
impresses Music Web International
This is a remarkable and surprisingly rich and stimulating work, and very much worth hearing in its own right, even divorced from its theatrical origin. Yes, its contemporary music and no, its not filled with tunes to which you can hum along, but it is romantic in feel, with the same kind of invisible virtuosity which you find in a Brahms Ballade. As the sonic equivalent of beautifully conceived and well-constructed installation art this is visual stimulation for the ears, and as such has a great deal to offer.
Dominy Clements, Music Web International
A German reviewer considers Arianna Savall's and Petter Udland Johansen's
Hirundo Maris
a revelation
Wie musikalische Zugvögel driftet dieses Werk hin und her: mal überwiegt die ursprüngliche spanische Musik mit maurischem Einschlag, mal wieder hymnische norwegische Gesang. Eine Offenbarung.
Patrick Krause, Qvest
Enrico Rava's tribute to the artistry of Michael Jackson on the brandnew
On the Dance Floor
thrills German magazines
Hingerissen von der Energie überführte Rava die Songs vom Pop in den Jazz und spielte sie mit Band ein. Passender Titel seines großartigen Livealbums: Rava On The Dancefloor.
Für Disco-Fans ist das zugegebenermaßen nichts, aber wie Rava mithilfe des Arrangeurs Mauro Ottolini die schnittigen Stücke in den Jazzkosmos überführt, ist schon bravourös. Besonders gut funktioniert das bei den Groove-lastigen Songs wie Thriller, Smooth Criminal oder Blood On The Dancefloor, in denen sich das Großensemble nach allen Regeln der Kunst verausgabt. Wie der über 70-jährige Rava die Energie dieser Musik in sich aufnimmt, das ist ein Vergnügen für sich
Rolf Thomas, Jazzthing
More international acclaim for the
of highlights from the ECM catalogue by Arild Andersen, Tommy Smith and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra
Compositions by some of the labels biggest stars are given a lush big band makeover, with Andersens sonorous bass artfully capturing the essence of the originals. A unique and unusual celebration that deftly balances the new and the familiar.
Cormac Larkin, Irish Times
Im not usually a fan of tribute albums but this is one of the best of the genre with the imaginative arrangements and superb musicianship putting a fresh slant on the chosen material. Of course many of these compositions are solid gold classics but many of them started out as small group pieces and its fascinating to hear them in a diffrent context. Smith and particularly Andersen are brilliant throughout, there arent too many bassists around who could maintain the listeners interest as the featured soloist over a whole CD but Andersen is one of them, his fluency and imagination seem to know no bounds and hes such an intrinsically melodic player. Like so many of the musicians on the ECM roster he has a highly personal, instantly identifiable sound.
Ian Mann, The Jazzmann.com
Eine kleine Labelretrospektive der anderen Art im Großformat der Bigbands, die ohnehin gerade eine Renaissance erleben. Und vor allem aber eine reizvolle Neubegegnung mit ECM-Klassikern, deren Leuchtkraft neu kalibriert wird.
Ulrich Steinmetzger, Jazzthing
British critic Peter Bacon on John Surman's solo album
Saltash Bells
The multi-reedmans first solo album for 18 years, and an amzing 40 years after is first one, Westering Home, makes perfect Sunday listening. It is not insistent, it doesnt grab you by the collar and shake you, but it insinuates itself into your consciousness and slowly envelopes you in a most absorbing way.
Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast
Jon Balke's
Magnetic Works
is reviewed on Jazzcamera.co.uk
Pianist Jon Balkes Magnetic North Orchestra produced some of the most intriguing, stimulating music in the ECM catalogue, and the release of this new double album is a welcome chance to reflect on the groups achievements.

This was my second time seeing Opeth. I first saw them when they hit town a few years ago touring for the Ghost Reveries album. This time around, it was almost like seeing a completely new band. There were a couple new guys in the line-up and the set list consisted completely of songs where Mikael Akerfeldt sang in his clean vocal style. From reading about other shows from this tour on the web I had a feeling it would be a pretty mellow set, but I wasn't expecting the show to be completely devoid of death-metal growls.
Despite not playing their heaviest songs there were definitely some metal moments, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the show was lacking because of the lack of growl-age. Still, Opeth is a band that is so musically gifted that seeing them live is a real treat.
They kicked off the set with The Devil's Orchard which is one of the best songs off Heritage. Around the middle of the set, in minstrel like fashion, Mikael sat down with an acoustic guitar and played three obscure Opeth tracks. One, which can be found on the deluxe edition of Heritage, another which I think he said was a song they wrote for a game, and the last which was written around the Blackwater Park era. On the one hand, it was cool to hear three Opeth songs that were completely new to me, but at the same time, I was a bit frustrated that such a large chunk of the set was dedicated to music that was totally obscure to all but the most devout Opeth aficionado.
My disappointment was almost immediately erased when Porcelain Heart and A Fair Judgement (my favorite Opeth Song not titled Black Rose Immortal) followed the obscure songs in close succession.
Like most things in Seattle where lots of people are drawn together, the crowd enthusiasm would best be described as tepid. There was also a strong sense of disappointment in the air when it became quite clear that the band was intent on putting on a mellow performance. I think a lot of fans still yearn for the Opeth of old where blistering, yet melodic riffs shredded the silence and the double foot bass pounded out the beat to yet another epic song.
After hearing Heritage, and seeing them live, one thing seems abundantly clear: Opeth has evolved from their death metal roots into a progressive, technical metal band. Like many fans, I'm also still coming to terms with this fact, but unlike many fans, who seemed unsatisfied with the show on Saturday, I enjoyed the show. Sure there may not have been any growly vocals, but Opeth is still incredibly gifted and talented. As a band they are incredibly tight, and play together well. They slowed down and sludged out the ending of A Fair Judgement, and it was one of my favorite moments of the show, and seemed completely spontaneous rather than a rehearsed alteration to a back catalog song.

Interesting review CB, looks like there's going to be a bit of discontent with the fans going forward. I see what you mean though, when you go to an Opeth show you at least want to hear some of the heavy stuff, as it's such a prominent part of their sound.
I wonder how much the other band members fully support the style change (they say they do on the DVD, but it's Mikael driving it - I wonder how it will pan out?)

Damnation is a stunningly good album. I keep playing it and thinking, 'they should do more of this'.

Sons of Northern Darkness- Immortal
Also, a snippet from my Opeth Heritage review:
Heritage is definitely a unique sounding album, and a definite departure from their previous works. From the melancholy piano intro on the first track, Heritage, it is clear that this album is going to take the listener to new places. Those new places are even more evident on the following track, The Devil's Orchard, a song that serves as a good example of what you can expect from the rest of the album. You might think: with new members comes new influences, new approaches, and the end result: new sounds. However, I would argue that Opeth's new direction is less a product of who is new to the band and more likely due to who is still there.
It seems pretty clear to me that Opeth is fully Mikael Akerfeldt's band, and the rest of the band marches to the beat of his drum. It could be argued that this has been the case for some time, but with additions like Martin Axenrot and Fredrik Akesson, guys with death metal in their blood, I wonder how they feel about the band taking the less heavy road.
The Devil's Orchard makes three things distinctly clear: First off, this is by far Opeth's softest album since Damnation. Secondly, this is most likely Opeth's most progressive, and experimental album yet. Altering time signatures, tempo shifts, and trippy sounds are all in abundance here. Lastly, and maybe the most important factor of them all, is that Heritage is an album completely devoid of the death metal growl. A detail the metal lover in me had a hard time coping with.
That said, it is really only on the first few listens that the death metal growl is missed. Once I had a better taste for the album, and I had adjusted to it's sound, it became pretty clear that there really is no place for the growl on the album. This set of compositions is truly much better served by Mikael Akerfeldt's liquid honey vocals. For a guy who can deliver some beastly growls, he really does have a beautiful singing voice. That voice does have it's limits though. There are times when Akerfeldt sings high, with less than great sounding results. Still, for this set of songs, the clean lyrics work well in harmony with the music.
Instrumentally, Heritage breaks new ground for the band. Not only is it softer than most of their previous output -look no further than the lovely guitar riff intro to I Feel the Dark- it also features some musical elements not often used by a metal band. Aside from the occasional acoustic guitar, you'll also find some stand-up bass, hand percussion djembes and congas, and in the case of Famine, a healthy dose of some flute. These elements all serve to prove the fact that Opeth has taken a much more progressive and experimental approach with Heritage.
For the most part, Opeth's new approach makes for some beautiful music, but at other times, the band goes a bit overboard with the progressive elements and, as is the case on Slither, wanders into the danger zone of rhythm damning avant-garde nonsense. While The Devil's Orchard is a great example of progressive metal done well, complete with time changes, and tempo shifts, it never stops being a good song with it's roots firmly planted in metal soil. Slither on the other hand, takes the progressive elements to the extreme and becomes an incomprehensible mish-mash of buzzing, swirling sounds that barely resembles music. Maybe this is a case of the listener needing more time to acquire an appreciation for the unique sound, but I'm more inclined to say Slither is a dud. When a band takes a new approach to music and explores new avenues, one dud out of ten isn't too bad, and Heritage delivers 57+ minutes of mostly wonderful music.

Pretty good review CB, I agree with most of it too. I was just listening to Heritage again this morning and it is definitely growing in me, but overall it just seems in some of the songs there's no overall direction and very few killer riffs that are so ever-present in previous albums. I guess that's the style they're playing anyway.
Interesting your take on Slither; this was one of the few tracks that warmed to me instantly and I still love it! Must be the inner hair/glam/hard rock 80's days still having a hold of me. But I know where you're coming from, and I saw Mikael mention this song in the DVD and it was almost like he was making up excuses for including it (tribute to Dio, fun song, etc.), so he recognises it's a fairly "un-Opeth" track.
Though one "band" I recently discovered and absolutely love is Ihsahn - the ex lead singer from Black Metal band Emperor.
Have a listen to "Angl" or "After" - brilliant progressive metal with black influences.
October 28th, 2011, 10:47 PM #344
Thanks Westsiyeed. I gotta see that DVD. Heritage is still better than most anything out there, but going by the high standards I have for Opeth, it just doesn't quite cut it for me.
I don't really listen to black metal that much either, but a friend loaned me the CD, so I figured I'd check it out. Pretty good stuff. Not something I'd listen to a lot, but a great change of pace.
Ihshan is pretty cool, thanks for the recommendation!

The Chemical Wedding by Bruce Dickinson, one of my all time favorite albums.
It derserves it's own shrine in the farce that is the rock and roll hall of fame. It would add some much needed integrity.

Fund managers: 2013 stock outlook remains positive
Sunday, December 30, 2012
BOSTON (AP) -- A safe route around the "fiscal cliff" continues to elude Congress and the White House. A recession is possible if automatic tax increases and spending cuts begin to take effect on Jan. 1, and people are afraid. Consumer confidence fell for a second straight month in December.
"The bright spot in this slow economic recovery has been corporate profits," says Mike McGarr, co-manager of Becker Value Equity fund (BVEFX), which has posted an average annualized return of 2.2 percent over the latest 5-year period, outperforming nearly nine of 10 of its peers. He expects stocks to deliver "reasonably good results, although we've been steering people's expectations down lately."
If his prediction turns out to be correct, the return of the stock market would surpass the returns that investors have recently earned from lower-risk investments, such as most categories of bonds. For example, a diversified bond index has returned 4.1 percent this year, with an index of government bonds returning just 1.9 percent.
Asked what an investor might do in the short-term, he urged caution: "If a person were thinking about investing when the market opens on Jan. 2, I would partially defer that decision, and spread the investment out over the course of three to six months. That's because there will be lots of uncertainty, and you'll be able to take advantage of certain dips in the market that we'll inevitably see."
"Clearly, what's going to be more important to the market than higher dividend taxes is the health of corporate profits, and the economy," Buckingham says.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In this article
How Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
Personality, by definition, involves stable traits that develop over time. If physical symptoms are present, a doctor may undertake a medical history and physical exam. There are no lab tests that diagnose personality disorders, but if someone has experienced a change from their usual personality, a doctor may order diagnostic tests, such as neuroimaging or blood tests, to rule out a neurological or other physical illness as the cause of a change in personality.
If the doctor finds no physical reason for the symptoms, he or she would likely refer the person to a psychiatrist or psychologist, health care professionals who are specially trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses. Psychiatrists and psychologists use specially designed interview and assessment tools to evaluate a person for a personality disorder.
How Is Narcissistic Personality Disorder Treated?
There is no known cure for narcissistic personality disorder, but psychotherapy (a type of counseling) might help the person learn to relate to others in a more positive and rewarding way. Long-term psychotherapy tries to provide the person with greater insight into his or her problems and attitudes in the hope that this will change behavior. The goal of therapy is to help the person develop a better self-esteem and more realistic expectations of others. Medication might sometimes be used to treat other kinds of symptoms, such as depression or anxiety that might occur in people with this disorder, but medicines are not the mainstay of treating personality disorders.
What Complications Are Associated With Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
People with narcissistic personality disorder might abuse drugs and/or alcohol as a way of coping with their symptoms. They may also have problems in relationships and in work or school performance.
What Is the Outlook for People With Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
The prognosis depends on the severity of the disorder and the degree to which people who seek treatment recognize problems within themselves and desire to change aspects of their personality that may be maladaptive.
Can Narcissistic Personality Disorder Be Prevented?
There is no known way to prevent narcissistic personality disorder.

Change in fixed table layout leads to unneeded scrollbar on array-grid
Change in fixed table layout leads to unneeded scrollbar on array-grid
WebKit recently changed its fixed table layout algorithm to consider the cell's content-box instead of the border-box as was the case in the past. See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78412 and to some extend http://crbug.com/124816 (it has some reference to this bug too)
If you open http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-2.3...rray-grid.html in any version of Chromium above 19 (that includes the WebKit change), you will see an unneeded horizontal scrollbars.
The work-around is simple: you need to set box-sizing: border-box on your cells' style to keep the existing behavior. The following change solves the issue for me (but don't think this is a definite answer):
.x-grid3-cell {
box-sizing: border-box}

Science goes on from the smaller to the smaller, and the bigger, the vast, is completely forgotten. The whole is completely forgotten for the part. Because of concentration, science can never know godliness. So when people come to me and they say, "Osho, teach us concentration, we want to know God," I am simply puzzled. They have not understood the basics of the search.
Science is one-pointed, the search is objective. Religion is simultaneity, the object is the whole, the total. To know the total, that is, to know godliness, you will have to have a consciousness which is open from everywhere, not confined, not standing in a window. Otherwise the frame of the window will become the frame of existence. Just standing under the sun in the open sky - that is what meditation is. Meditation has no frame: it is not a window, it is not a door. Meditation is not concentration, it is not attention. Meditation is awareness.
So what to do? Repeating a mantra, doing Transcendental Meditation, is not going to help. Transcendental Meditation has become very, very important in America because of the objective approach, because of the scientific mind. Now that is the only meditation on which scientific research work is being done because that is the only meditation on which scientific work can be done. It is exactly concentration and not meditation. It is comprehensible for the scientific mind.
In the universities, in the science laboratories, in psychological research work, much is being done about TM because it is not meditation. It is a concentration, a method of concentration; it falls under the same category as scientific concentration. There is a link between the two but it has nothing to do with meditation. Meditation is so vast, so tremendously infinite; no scientific research is possible. Only compassion will show whether the man has achieved or not. Alpha waves won't be of much help because they are still of the mind and meditation is not of the mind, it is something beyond.
So let me tell you a few basic things. One, meditation is not concentration but relaxation. One simply relaxes into oneself. The more you relax, the more you feel yourself open, vulnerable. The more you relax, the less rigid you are; you become more flexible and suddenly existence starts penetrating you. You are no longer like a rock, you have openings. Relaxation means allowing yourself to fall into a state where you are not doing anything, because if you are doing something, tension will continue. It is a state of non-doing: you simply relax and you enjoy the feeling of relaxation.

John Mellencamp Collaboration With Stephen King Coming Out In 2013
Friday, November 16, 2012
A long-in-development musical collaboration between John Mellencamp and best-selling author Stephen King will be released as an album on March 13th, 2013, according to a press release. The project, titled Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County, is a musical that the pair have been working on for over a decade. The album, produced by T-Bone Burnett, will feature contributions from Sheryl Crow, Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson, actors Matthew McConaughey and Meg Ryan, and others.
Ghost Brothers was first conceived when Mellencamp told King about a cabin on the singer's property in Indiana. King recalled to Rolling Stone, "He . . . told me about this ghost story about a cabin he owned. I loved the idea they were brothers, and then years later history repeats itself. Something in that resonated with me deeply."
According to legend, two brothers fought over a woman in the cabin, with one brother killing the other. The survivor and the woman were both killed in a car crash a short time later.
In the musical, two sets of brothers -- one dead, one alive -- tell a similar story. The singers on the album all play different characters in the narrative.
A version of the stage production was mounted in Atlanta earlier this year, but King hopes to see it produced on Broadway or even as a movie.
A deluxe edition of the album will include a making-of DVD featuring interviews with King, Mellencamp and Burnett.

Belmar, NJ —Starting today, thanks to a partnership program called Cops in Shops®, New Jersey's teens will find it tougher than ever to buy alcohol. Attorney General Paula T. Dow; Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control Director Jerry Fischer; Division of Highway Traffic Safety Director Gary Poedubicky; and Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter B. Warshaw, Jr. joined Ron Engle of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a not-for-profit organization funded by distillers, to launch the Cops in Shops® program at an event held today at Taylor Pavilion located at 512 Ocean Avenue in Belmar, New Jersey.
Store owners across New Jersey counties will work with the law enforcement agencies in their communities to place officers both inside and outside select stores. But young people won't know when or where, so advice to teens is – don't risk it. It's the hope that the Cops in Shops® program will deter teens from buying alcohol illegally, and also make the adults who purchase it for minors think twice.
Cops in Shops® materials will be given to participating establishments across New Jersey to reinforce the message that this is a serious issue. It takes an entire community to fight underage purchasing.
Most recent statistics report there were 10,839 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities across the U.S., of which 149 were in New Jersey (NHTSA 2010). Furthermore, in New Jersey, 27,345 individuals were arrested for driving under the influence and 2,239 youths under the age of 18 were arrested for liquor law violations (UCR 2009). The presence of Cops in Shops® throughout the participating counties in New Jersey will help to decrease the occurrence of such arrests in 2011.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility created Cops in Shops® as a unique partnership between retailers and law enforcement, designed to deter youth under 21 from attempting to purchase alcohol and adults who purchase alcohol for minors. The program places undercover officers in participating retail locations. Often one undercover officer works inside the store while a second officer is positioned outside the establishment to apprehend adults who procure alcohol for youth. Cops in Shops® places the focus on the perpetrators — minors who try to purchase alcohol illegally. Participating retail establishments will display signs in their establishments with the message, "Under 21? Police Officers May Be Posing As Store Employees." Cops in Shops® display materials are provided free-of-charge by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. In addition to the point-of-sale materials, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility provides "how-to" manuals and organizational assistance.

To access the page, go to Site > Global Configuration or click the Global Configuration icon from the main control panel.
The Global Configuration screen allows you to configure the Joomla! site with your personal settings.
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. Most of these settings are set during the initial Joomla! installation.
These settings are set during the initial setup of Joomla! It is advised to leave these settings the way they are, unless you have a good understanding of how databases work.
The mail settings are set during the initial setup of Joomla!. These settings can be changed whenever needed.
Permissions are new to Joomla! 1.6 Joomla! version 1.6 will install with the same familiar back-end permissions as that of version 1.5. However, with 1.6, you can easily change these to suit the needs of your site.
The permissions for each action are inherited from the level above in the permission hierarchy and from a group's parent group. Let's see how this works. The top level for this is the entire site. This is set up in the Site->Global Configuration->Permissions, as shown below.
The options for each value are Not Set (shown as "..."), Allow, or Deny.
The first thing to notice is the column headings, Admin, Login, Manage, Create, Delete, Edit, Edit State. These are the actions that a use can perform on an object in Joomla. The specific meaning of each action depends on the context. For the Global Configuration screen, they are defined as follows:
On the left side, we have the Groups for the site. In this case, we have the standard 7 groups that we had in version 1.5 plus we have an additional group called "Park Rangers". Notice that our groups are set up with similar permissions as they were for version 1.5. Keep in mind that we can change any of these permissions to make the security work the way we want. Let's go through this to see how it works.
There are two very important points to understand from this screen. The first is to see how the permissions can be inherited from the parent Group. The second is to see how you can control the default permissions by Group and by Action.
This provides a lot of flexibility. For example, if you wanted Park Rangers to be able to have the ability to login to the back end, you could just change their Login value to "Allow". If you wanted to not allow members of Administrator group to delete objects or change their state, you would change their permissions in these columns to Inherit (or Deny).

If you plead guilty, you are admitting to the Judge that you have committed acts which violate a valid City law. The judge will then decide what penalty will be assessed. At this time, you will have an opportunity to tell the Judge any special circumstances that you believe lessen the seriousness of the violation. You cannot plead guilty and then in your explanation to the Judge say that you did not violate the law.
After listening to your explanation, the Judge will assess a penalty, considering the seriousness of the offense and any explanation offered by you. Remember, if you plead guilty, the Judge will find you guilty. Any explanation that is offered by you can only affect the penalty. When you plead guilty you will be giving up the following rights:
A plea of not guilty means you believe you have not violated the law. When you plead not guilty, the Judge will set a date for trial. A trial will not be held on your initial arraignment date as all necessary witnesses will not be present.
You do not need to be represented by an attorney if you want to plead not guilty. You may represent yourself at trial. If you plead not guilty and later decide to change your plea to guilty, you must reappear in court before the Judge in order to do so.

The Pack Blue and Gold banquet was over the weekend. The CC told anyone who would listen last year the outgoing W2 Den would be planning and fundraising for it. The event was to pay for itself in the form of advertising space in the program. These were the strict instructions he gave the volunteers who put it together last year. It was pot luck, everyone went away happy, with a full belly and leftovers. Since the Pack had a surplus he decided to spend it, and in addition charge $5 per anyone over the age of 16. Long story short he turned it into a five hour gala that cost the Pack over $1000 in hall rental, food, entertainment, etc... It was his last hurrah so to speak as he is stepping down in April now that his son bridged at the B&G. Half of the younger families didn't stick around to see the bridging due it running so late, the food was horrible, and some of the parents are grumbling because the fundraising done in the fall was swaundered in their eyes.

I'm sorry. That happened between Son#1's and Son#2's den and it wasn't until after the fact that I realized how the pack had to dig itself out of a hole as a result. It made for a some resentment.
It's not entirely clear that how your accounts settled out. Was the surplus a result of specifically fundraising for the BnG. (E.g., were W2's the bulk of the popcorn sellers -- specifically so the pack could have a blowout party?) Did costs actually exceed fundraising?
The best you can do is try not to breed resentment. Let the CC know in no uncertain, but courteous, terms that you think he should have left the pack in better financial shape by holding a more modest program.
Let the incoming W2DL know you would prefer things done more modestly. As a committee, you should set a BnG budget. When you all have a surplus, you need to decide what budget items should be adjusted upward. It's really up to you all, but the vision needs to be laid out well in advance of any activities that actually happen. And in your case, maybe folks envisioned something that not everyone wound up liking. It happens. Evaluate -- Adjust -- Implement.
The irony of it is he complained his predocessors did the same thing when his son joined as a Tiger.
The surplus was a result of successful popcorn, and pizza sales. The W2 Den accounted for less than 5% of the total fundraising, and they made up 25% of of the Pack membership.
The current W1DL already has a plan in place, and the BnG will finance itself through donations with minimal Pack spending, if any at all. She will also accept help, and welcome input.
The CC feels as if he saved the Pack when he took over, therefore he is entitled to do as he pleases because it all falls on him. To give credit where it is due, he works his tail off for the Pack. This is partly his own doing as nobody wants to step up and help because his micro-manages everything. The entertainment was a magician who is loosely related to the CC. His "volunteers" from the audiance consisted of the son, daughter, and wife of the CC. The groans from the rest of the audiance were less than sublte. Basically, the CC made the night about himself, his bridging son, and his family.
Like I said. Seen it before. It's a fine line between control and entitlement.
The best you can do is be honest about your opinion and hope he'll take it to heart. This is for two reasons. First, you need to say your peace, and typing it to us is not gonna do that for you. Second, this fella is going to a troop, and for their sake, you want to try to win the guy's heart before he gets on the bad side of a bunch of ASMs.
I made my opinions and feelings known to him when he sprung the costs and agenda on us at the Pack Leaders meeting. If I wasn't the CM I would have boycotted the event. I was not about to spite the boys over it. Since he already booked and paid the "entertaiment" it was too late to cancel them. He was none to pleased when I changed the flow of the evening. Although he made tried to remind me I serve the committee, when I told him I serve the boys. That is when the COR stepped in and tried to make peace.
The troop his son is going to knows how he is and already asked me how to deal with him. I told them he might be different in a less demanding position, so they should keep an open mind.

Christine Please help my son win a piano! Vote for "Bach Fughetta" every day in November.
We had a blue and gold issue a few years ago. We're an lds pack and the local grocery store allows church members to bill their congregation, rather than paying for what they purchase. These purchases are supposed to be pre-approved, but they sometimes aren't. We get a $1000 budget each year and don't get any more. Someone ran up a $600 bill at the grocery store!!! We think some of that was for personal groceries rather than blue and gold, but we don't know. We do know that one person required super high quality ground beef in the spaghetti sauce and bought it. Fortunately, the person, who spent the money is no longer in scouts and our store account has been closed. We have since gotten flack from our committee chair, who is afraid that the den leaders are going to go nuts, spending all the mony, so as a result we're allowed to spend none.
Anyway, I'd just let the parents know that the person, who squandered the money is out and you'll be frugal in the future.
Oh my goodness. We just had ours last night. It was a very simple affair that lasted a little over two hours total (we also ate.) We spent around $400 for everything. Everyone attending had the option to give a donation at the door for the food cost so we broke even and then some with over 100 attendees by the end of it. I had no idea some packs went all out like that (I guess I'm still naive in a lot of areas of this!) So sorry that happened to you. The bright side is he'll be out of y'all's hair for now and you know one thing not to do in the future. Good luck with it!
I'm sorry to hear it. It is not easy because people are always going to be unhappy.
We had ours this last weekend and it was awesome and cheap. We rented the school with costs us only $100 and we had a chili cookoff western theme. It was easy to put activities together without formal seating and the boys got to vote with tickets for their favorite chili. Total was around $400 for us. We charge $5 a person or $20 per family. profits go to Friends of Scouting.
Mashmaster - made me think, we have ours in March. We are going to have a pot luck like last year.. But, I don't want the pack falling into a rut.. Chili cookoff would be a slight twist, but I don't think our East coast cubbers are big on chili.. But, maybe some other cookoff.. A Dutch Oven cookoff would be great, but Feb - March in NH is very iffy if the weather will cooperate..
Any ideas (low cost, not the OP high cost one).. To shake up the Blue and Gold and make it a little different then the same old same old??
Most planners tend to rely on the same-old, same-old because it worked in the past. There's nothing wrong with running a standard potluck with a theme, i.e. Spam, or bacon, or whatever. Then the boys can sample a bunch and vote on the best. It would also put a major variety on the plate for each boy as well. Creativity isn't a strong point with BG planners.
And what about the magician? Again? How does one make a magician disappear?
I got a last minute call from one of the packs in the area that got a magician cancellation at the last minute. I packed up my Civil War reenactment kit and hauled it down and did a wing-it presentation. I told the CM to signal me when I should wrap up. I can be as long winded as the next guy. He said he would signal me at about 30 minutes. I said great. An hour later he finally gave me the high five. Then amongst the groans of disappointment, the boys got back to the program. How much did it cost the pack for that program? Nothing, it just cost me my Good Turn for the day.
Themed potluck, freebie program, free hall access from the Am Legion, admission charges, no cost to anyone and everyone had a great time. A Scout is Thrifty. The only cost incurred by the Pack was the cost of the awards, patches, pins, and nice arrow wall plaques.
Yes, an inexpensive, nice and fun BG is possible.
I love the idea of a potluck. Going to see if we can do that next year, as our biggest expensive was food for our spaghetti dinner (which our pack has done for a few years now.)
We budgeted $200 for the event, spent about $250-$300 and collected $150 in donations... having some slight cash flow issues because Council STILL owes us from online popcorn, I've been harassing them, supposedly check being cut March 4th, not holding my breath, I'm withholding Camp Card money until they pay us.

Brilliance is beauty in motion - something captured in the intricate flowing structure of this remarkable ring. A faceted oval gemstone of blue chalcedony is elegantly bezel-set in an oxidized frame of beaded sterling silver. To complete the charming antique feel, two blue kyanite stones rest at the top and bottom of this bold treasure. The complex scroll- and rope-design split shank tapers together around the finger for comfort. The stylish motion of this ring's design will evoke a vintage romance mixed with contemporary style. Measures 7/8" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Beauty is a quality that moves—it pulses, emanates, shines, and swirls. With the Brilliance Collection, flowing designs of sterling silver whirl with old world vintage romance around luminescent gems of royal blue chalcedony and kyanite.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Something to read while the pages load...
Amaranth is not a webcomic, but a series of home-made paper comics. I started drawing it in 2004, and finished it in September 2007. You can buy the Amaranth comic in the shop.
There are three "free samples" of Amaranth online, appearing here and on the next pages. The first, "A Visit to Hell" is taken from Amaranth #4, and takes place just after Amaranth and her friend Ivy have been kicked out of hell for being rude to the lord. The second, "Living Together" is from Amaranth #5. The last one "Shameful Tactics" is a standalone piece that shows a bit of Ivy's background - how he lost his wings.
