10 Ways to Save Money While Looking for a Job

7 Ways an Employment Center Can Get You a Job
Almost everyone nowadays knows someone who's been laid off, unemployed, or simply unhappy with his or her current job. At times such as these, keeping expenses down can seem difficult, especially with the added expenses of actually looking for more work. But there are ways to look professional and save money while looking for a job.
Mailing Expenses
Don't use too much postage. One stamp will do for a letter-sized envelope containing a resume and cover letter. If you prefer to mail your resume in a manila envelope, two stamps will suffice. If you have multiple enclosures and feel the weight would justify another stamp, have it weighed at the post office.
Keep your paper neat. Plain white resume paper works just fine, but make sure you keep it from getting wrinkled or torn. If your paper comes in a ream without a box, store it in a Rubbermaid container or other storage box.
Consider email. If you want to cut out mailing expenses all together, consider emailing your resume and cover letter if an address is included where you see the job. However, here's a word of caution. Make sure your documents are formatted properly, and that you use the same professional tone you would use in a mailed cover letter and resume.
Clothing Expenses
Try used first. Your interview suit does have to be neat and professional; it does not have to be new. Try asking friends and family members of similar proportions if you can borrow a suit. Chances are, they have one in their closet they haven't used for awhile. Also, check out rummage sales and thrift stores for gently used outfits.
Go beyond your usual department. If you decide to buy a suit new, try looking in departments you may not normally shop in. For example, the Junior's department has suits that are much less expensive than those found in the Women's department.
Don't spend a lot on shoes. Your shoes don't need to attract attention, and don't need to be anything fancy. A pair of black flats from Payless (bought on sale) or a well-polished older pair will do just fine.
Visit your library. Instead of buying expensive books and career guides, make use of your local library. You can find books on career changes, industry magazines and information to research companies you want to work for.
Check out your college. If you went to college, see if your college offers job assistance programs for alumni. Also, some fraternities and sororities have career counseling or networking programs.
Surf the Web. Check out company sites and find job-hunting tips and open position postings on the Internet. Just make sure not to go online when potential employers could be calling if you have dial-up!
Know where you're going. When you schedule an interview, make sure you know how to get there. Consult several resources, such as MapQuest, a road atlas and the person with whom you make the interview. If you are going that way for anther reason, drive past to see exactly where the building is, and note if there is a parking lot for visitors. You will save time and gas money by not driving around in circles!The most important thing about looking for a job is keeping a positive attitude. By not spending a fortune while you look for a job, you are not only helping your pocketbook, but also your peace of mind.
Take the Next Step
- Dont be in Denial. If you feel that your job maybe at risk, have a contingency plan.
- Take action today, so you will be better off tomorrow. For instance: Find a New Job , Get Additional Training, and Pay Off Debts.

'It's a free. F***ing. Country': Jamie Dimon's foul-mouthed rant as JP Morgan boss attacks 'banker bashers'
King of Wall Street: JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon
Jamie Dimon, the boss of blue blooded US investment bank JP Morgan, has launched a foul mouthed attack on 'banker bashers'.
Asked about his defence of Wall Street and criticism of regulation, Dimon described himself as 'an outspoken defender of the truth'.
Speaking to the New York Magazine he said: 'This is not the Soviet Union . . . This is the United States of America. That's what I remember. Guess what . . . it's a free. F***ing. Country.'
Dimon, dubbed the King of Wall
Street, has seen the gloss taken off his reputation in recent months. In
May the bank revealed a shock £1.2billion trading loss incurred by a
group of traders in London.
group included Bruno Iksil, dubbed the London Whale because of his huge
gambles on complicated investments which could yet cost the bank up to
to a group of students he said: 'The Whale has been harpooned.
Dessicated. Cremated . . . I am going to bury its ashes all over.'
Enough to send shivers down the spine of Iksil, who was fired by the bank along with several other executives.
While Sands is set for U.S. regulator showdown...
Standard Chartered chief executive Peter
Sands has flown to New York for a
showdown with regulators over money
laundering allegations.
The embattled boss is preparing for a
hearing with the New York Department of
Financial Services, which has threatened to
strip the bank of its licence in the US.
It has accused the emerging markets
specialist of laundering at least £160billion for
Iranian clients linked to terrorist groups
and the country's nuclear programme.
But it is not yet known whether Sands will
have to face his nemesis Benjamin Lawsky,
the regulator's chief superintendent who
has been accused of breaking ranks with
other watchdogs investigating the case.
Last night – less than 48 hours before
tomorrow's hearing – the regulator
confirmed it had not yet decided the
format of proceedings.
Crucially it is not known whether Sands
will be summoned and - if so - if he will be
forced to defend his bank under the glare
of public scrutiny.
The jet-setting chief executive, who was
forced to fly back from a family holiday in
Canada when he learned of the shocking
allegations last week, is believed to be
pressing for an early settlement with all
the US watchdogs involved in the case.
Standard Chartered is thought to be
prepared to pay a substantial fine over its
admission that it broke US sanctions on 300
transactions worth around £9million.
But it wants the New York regulator - which dubbed Standard a 'rogue institution' - to withdraw some of its more emotive language. Standard Chartered (up 7p at 1333.50p) is already understood to have offered to pay a £3.2million fine, which was rejected. Lawsky, who is now battling to save face, is believed to be pushing for a larger fine.

On September 26, 2014 in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico, 43 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers' school were kidnapped on their way to protest against the wife of the Mayor of Iguala during a political event in her honor. Both the Mayor, Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de Los Angeles Pineda have been accused of ordering the local police to abduct the students and turn them over to members of a local drug cartel called Guerreros Unidos. Allegedly the students were then tortured and burned alive. To date only the remains of 1 student have been identified. I recently went to an art gallery in Barrio Logan where local artists put together an exhibition themed around the plight of the 43 students. I found it to be a unique opportunity to hear the artists' opinions on the disappearance of the students and allow them to voice their solidarity with the people of Mexico. As the search goes on for the missing students, mass graves are being found all around Iguala. This brings to light the grisly fact that the kidnapping and murder of Mexican citizens have been going on for some time. Outraged Mexicans who are fed up with escalating violence and corruption have taken to the streets demanding justice. Huge protests have occurred in Mexico City and Chilpancingo, the capital city of the state of Guerrero. Despite the worldwide public outcry, the government has yet to provide a coherent response or resolution. Additionally, it's unclear to what extent the federal government knew about the abduction on that fateful day in September. It has recently been reported by the Mexican magazine Proceso that the Mexican federal police knew about the kidnapping as it was happening yet did nothing to stop it. Furthermore, allegations are surfacing that the federal police actually colluded with the local police in the disappearance of the students. As someone born in Guerrero, I find this story profoundly disturbing. I remember a time when people could go out at night and not be afraid of being robbed, kidnapped or murdered by the drug cartels. There was still corruption going on, but it was nowhere near the horrific scale it has devolved into. For now, the narcos rule the night, but I believe there will come a day when a new dawn will rise over Mexico and the instigators of this narco-government nightmare will be buried in the ashes of their own greed and depravity. In the meantime, a huge question remains. Where are the students ?

Black Magic Design has just announced a delay in the production of their Cinema Camera. They've found blemishes in the glass that covers the sensor elements; obviously a show (or at least a production) stopper.
Since the advent of television, the movie theater industry has been in a fight to stay one technological step ahead of its living room counterpart. But the nature of the race has changed.
With the news that Ridley Scott is working on his first ever television pilot, it seems that the worlds of television and film are moving closer and closer together. Freya Black investigates this trend
Here's a cure for financial austerity blues: these images came from a camera costing less than $1000!
Sony is filming three of the World Cup games in 4K and now it has been announced that two of the three games will be shown to an invited audience in a London VUE cinema (Westfield near Shepherds Bush)
Last week I was very fortunate to be able to borrow a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera for the afternoon. I was meeting my daughter in Camden Market so I took the camera along and shot some bits and pieces. I have uploaded the footage to Vimeo
This will be the year when everyone realises that our industry (and, for that matter, every industry - but especially ours) is on an incredible journey. It's as if you only have to wait a year or so for your wildest technology dreams and fantasies to come true
A new video showing the C100 in detail and how it might be used with an external recorder for even better images
4K isn't just a consumer phenomenon. It's a term that's been in use in the film making community for at least ten years. And it has a very precise definition that is different to what the consumer companies would have us believe
This nearly hour-long video is fascinating for anyone who's ever wondered what goes on in the "Back End" of modern digital cinemas.

Planting distance for garlic.
This season I planted my garlic on ridges, centered on 83cm (33 inches). On top of each ridge I planted a double row. In the row I held a distance of 15 cm (6 inches). Yet, I wonder if, next season, I could plant three rows on a ridge. At the base the ridges are 50 cm (20 inches) wide. Do you think that, as a consequence, the dimensions of the bulbs coul suffer at harvest? The soil in my vegetable garden is a quite fertile loam which has been regularly amended whith horse manure and catch-crops such as rye. I also rotate the garlic bed in an eight year cycle.
I did this with onions this year(3 inches apart) and saved alot of extra work(making trenches).I always plant staggered(first row starts at 0, second row at 6 inch, third back to 0), with 6 inches in all direction for garlic and its been plenty of room.I do keep my ridges minimal height ,as wind can be rough here.Your idea sounds good to me and adding a few inches in row width is worth the yield, your soil is well taken care of.
Thanks, baygrower. Your suggestion to keep the ridges at a minimal height sounds intresting. I have the impression I made mine a bit too sharp this year. Next year I certainly will apply the planting in a staggered pattern.
The staggered pattern i mentioned was a bit off.I start first row at beggining of measuring tape and plant second row at 3 inch or so and third row at beggining of tape.It just gives me alittle more room for roots on the diagnols,as the roots tend to fill up the trench.

Tight keyswitch and door locks
We bought a 92 Escort that had been sitting for 2 years.
The car had 200,000 miles on it when it was parked, but the engine
only had 35,000 miles on it. It runs and drives great.
When we put the key in the ignition switch and try to turn it,
it is very difficult to turn. I afraid of breaking the key off.
We have the same problem with the door locks.
Is there anything we can do about this? (such as graphite)
Pooh Bear
You can use WD40 to lossen up your locks, providing the linkage is not seized up. Then MAKE SURE you add a light oil after. WD40 is a drying agent and will make things worse later on if you don't lub it. Graphite makes a hell of a mess. You don't see graphite on new cars.
10-4 on the powdered graphite vs oil. I'd squirt spray silicon in the holes and on the keys and carefully loosen em up. Then after 2-3 5-6 days puff in the graphite.
There's 2 kinds of silicon spray: one has acetone the other doesn't. For this job get the kind with acetone.
I only have one key. We had copies of it made.
The copies had to have a lot of 'tweaking' done.
Guy at the hardware store said I have a copy of the original
key and the copies he made were copies of my copied key.
I think I'll change the ignition switch.
And may install remote power locks.
I'll try the silicon spray first.

The drama of the Defense Department's pay-for-performance system, which began nearly six years ago, has turned into a tragedy
The drama of the National Security Personnel System, which began nearly five years ago with the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004, appears destined to become a tragedy.
The likely death blow came in a congressional report on the 2010 Defense Authorization bill, in which lawmakers told the Defense Department to pull the plug on the system by Jan. 1, 2012.
It was a steep fall for an idea that began with such high hopes. NSPS, unlike the old General Schedule system, was supposed to raise the level of government work by tying pay directly to performance.
"The NSPS has been more than two years in the making and may prove to be the most significant change in federal workplace rules since the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act," wrote the Washington Post's Stephen Barr in May 2006 as the first 11,000 DOD employees began working under the system. "Administration officials hope the NSPS will make it easier to reward the department's best workers and to weed out poor performers."
But the story's tragic dimension has been apparent for a long time as more employees began working under the system and discovering its flaws. Pay for performance might be good in concept, but to many Federal Computer Week readers, NSPS was a miserable failure.
"It's about time someone took a look at NSPS and recognized it was an abomination," wrote one anonymous reader. "Even though I, as a supervisor, did OK under its provisions, it was rife with abuses and looked like a return to the dark days of the 'good old boy' practices it was supposed to eliminate."
According to many readers, the main problem with NSPS is that federal managers did not know how to work with the system or simply weren't interested in doing so.
"The NSPS was just another way for management to reward those who 'cooperate and are liked,' as [opposed] to those who perform their duties," one reader said. "NSPS would have made it much easier to demoralize and harass employees not in the boss's inner circle."
But others believe the problem is more systemic. Federal managers cannot link pay to performance because their personnel budget does not allow it. A manager might have 15 employees doing excellent work but only have enough money to pay five of those employees at the appropriate level. That often makes it difficult to give employees the raises they deserve.
"With only three to four staff, I still had to spend dozens of hours each rating period writing up 'assessments' that would meet all of the requirements," wrote a Navy supervisor. "And the language, with required 'performance indicators' and 'contributing factors,' [made it] very tough…to demonstrate anything beyond simply 'met expectations.'"
Still, some readers were sorry to hear that they would be going back to the GS pay system, under which the link between pay and performance is tenuous at best.
"I've never been a fan of NSPS as it is, but at least it gave us the ability to increase our salaries commensurate with the corporate world," Paul wrote. "Now, I'll likely be stuck at my current level for the next five years with only cost-of-living increases and max out soon after."
Numerous readers have complained that the GS system often leaves managers with too few options when it comes to rewarding good performance, but they still largely view NSPS as the wrong solution.
Perhaps a reader named Ed summed it up best when he wrote: "Government does need a better performance rating system, but this is not it. I will be happy to return to the GS pay scale."

I can honestly say that after working 25 years as a federal service employee, I had never being recognize, until I got a new job in another agency under NSPS. NSPS it may have good and bad parts, but if you really have fair supervisors who really take the time to evaluate you base on performance without any bias it really work. I was asked to keep a log of what I did (how much time I perform in research, customer service, meetings, training, and other) it really paid at the end of the year I was able to write my accomplishments base on what I did and for the first time I was recognize as a value employee on paper without judging my race, color, and ethnicity. I am thankful that this can be accomplished base on a great supervisor and a terrif department head, we should have more people like them, that believe in performance without being in the circle or the good old boys metality. We are in a new milenuim is time to really value people. Is time to really go back and train supervisors on how to be one.
Okay, I have been sitting on the edge of my sit waiting for the infamous NSPS Pay Pool. I was not worried or anxious about how well I was going to do, just wondering how the process actually works. I had read articles and fact sheets until I was blue in the face. As far as my job was concerned I was very proud of what I had accomplished by myself and as a team with my supervisor.However, that was about to change. My supervisor called me into the office and handed me my Employee Notice of Pay Pool Decisions. My supervisor had a look of disappointment and really didn't know what to say to me. It would seem that the Pay Pool had downgraded my ratings due to something my supervisor had written in my assessments. They did not ask my supervisor for an opinion and did give my supervisor an opportunity to dispute their decision.I thought long and hard about my ratings and was contemplating about asking for reconsideration. However, I asked a trusted friend, who had been on a couple of Pay Pools and he stated that you are only as good as what is written on paper. I was also told that a 3 is considered a "valued employee" and the Pay Pool would really listen to my issue because of this.I can now see first-hand how unfair this pay system really is….
NSPS helped me. It allowed me to be recognized as a hard working, extremely undervalued employee. Because it is quantitative, it alleviated the bias I was experiencing from a higher rater. My supervisor had more power to fight on my behalf. I had a good experience and will be sad to be stuck for years waiting for a step increase in the GS system. I agree there has been an effort in my agency to "dumb down" the system. I think this is because there is far too much paperwork for the supervisors now. They spend up to 2 weeks processing everyone's evaluations and performance plans. The problem with NSPS in my view is that nobody wants to do it "RIGHT", because it is so much work. But it has great potential.
I worked for the federal government over thirty years ago. I left because the pay was not keeping up with the private sector. I have been employed by the government now for eight months and am under the NSPS system. Under the GS system, the pay would not have been adequate for me to return. Although, I haven't been through a complete review cycle, I believe that it is much better than everyone getting the same raises, no matter how poorly they perform. There is no incentive for superior work, so people do only the minimum necessary.
NSPS failed because it was a unilateral DoD movement against the Unions and the faithful governmetn service employee. All Personnel need to be returned to the GS System immediately and we should not have to wait until 2012. Furthermore, there now needs to be an investigation into hiring and promotion practices that have taken place during the past eight years. Military members who were unfairly promoted and hired should be dismissed because they were not fairly competed against faithful and honest employees.

Those Were the Days, My Friends
It's been a long time since a group of Black leaders has looked so utterly satisfied as Reps. Charlie Rangel and John Lewis, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. and the late Rep. Carl Stokes clearly are feeling here in this 1988 image. And why not? They were for perhaps the first time getting a taste of some serious Black Power — and the best was yet to come.

Fighting for Darfur
Public Action and the Struggle to Stop Genocide
Around the world, millions of people have added their voices to protest marches and demonstrations because they believe that, together, they can make a difference. When we failed to stop the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, we promised to never let such a thing happen again. But nine years later, as news began to trickle out of killings in western Sudan, an area known as Darfur, the international community again faced the problem of how the United Nations and the United States government could respond to mass atrocity.Rebecca Hamilton passionately narrates the six-year grassroots campaign to draw global attention to the plight of Darfur's people. From college students who galvanized entire university campuses in the belief that their outcry could save millions of Darfuris still at risk, to celebrities such as Mia Farrow, who spurred politicians to act, to Steven Spielberg, who boycotted the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Hamilton details how advocacy for Darfur was an exuberant, multibillion-dollareffort. She then does what no one has done to date: she takes us into the corridors of power and the camps of Darfur, and reveals the impact of ordinary people's fierce determination to uphold the mantra of "never again." Fighting for Darfur weaves a gripping story that both dramatizes our moral dilemma and shows the promise and perils of citizen engagement in a new era of global compassion.

Latest Prediction of volcanic activity Stories
For the first time, researchers have taken a detailed look at what lies beneath all of Iceland's volcanoes – and found a world far more complex than they ever imagined.
Volcanoes are notoriously hard to study. All the action takes place deep inside, at enormous temperatures. So geophysicists make models, using what they know to develop theories about what they don't know.
Scientists using NASA satellite data have found strong evidence that a major earthquake can lead to a nearly immediate increase in regional volcanic activity.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese vulcanologists have warned of more eruptions at a volcano on the southern island of Kyushu, as volcanic activity has been intensifying at one of its craters.
From his home in Nanwalek, Vince Evans can stare across the water at Augustine Volcano as it pumps out clouds of ash and steam, but like many residents in the isolated village, Evans prefers to check the Internet for the latest on the erupting island mount.
While Mount St. Helens and Kilauea generate the most attention, many other volcanoes in the United States have little or no regular monitoring and need to be watched for potential eruptions, a new report warns.
Latest Prediction of volcanic activity Reference Libraries
Volcanology is the study of volcanoes, magma, lava, and related geological, geochemical, and geophysical phenomena. The term volcanology comes from the Latin word Vulcan. Vulcan is the ancient Roman god of fire. A volcanologist is a person who studies the creation of volcanoes, and their current and historic eruptions. Volcanologists frequently visit volcanoes, particularly active ones, to observe volcanic eruptions, collect eruptive products including samples of tephra, lava, and rock....

At HatchTech, we have one aim: to provide our customers with consistently superior chick quality. We do this by creating research-based products for incubation, chick transportation and brooding, and by providing effective customer service in installing and maintaining that technology.
Our revolutionary incubation concept, based on the effect of embryo temperature on optimum incubation, led to the development of patented perforated radiators to create a laminar airflow that gives each and every embryo an equal opportunity to vent heat during incubation. This concept of temperature control, first applied to the incubation process, is now also being applied during chick transport and chick brooding.
Using our technology to improve all three processes ensures our customers that their chicks have every opportunity to reach their full potential, and that we deliver on our core promise of optimum and uniform chick quality.

They're called "essentials" for a reason. Every packing list starts with these 10 items.
Here are some additional items you may want to pack, depending on the outing:
Keeping Clean
Cooking and eating
Great, all you need is some batteries for the light.
you might want to carry some rope or paracord also
Goog list but usually don't have to carry all of these things
You wouldn't be able to charge a camera
good list but seems a bit heavy weight for a daypack.
maybe seperate lists for different durations of hikes.
(day hike, overniter, weekender, etc)
Pioneers did not have batteries. I think a scout should have a old-fashioned kerosene lamp. It may be out of style, but I always go for the old ways.
I was taught the 9v battery and steel wool method… BY A BOY SCOUT THAT WAS 1ST CLASS!!!!!!!
All of these are handy there may seem a lot of things but its better to carry them than die!
Magnesium helps2
Well written and explained. Nice!
I agree!
Wrong wrong wrong these r not the BSA ten
Boy Scout Handbook, p. 207
Remember the "10 Essentials" is not Scout Law… Do your thing, be safe and have FUN!
No clean clothes? They never get worn anyway…
you also might want to have a survival kit on hand!
this is a survival kit!
9 volt and steel woll always good
No not the BSA way
It's also good to have extra batteries with a flashlight for essentials and surival.

Melissa helped me to recover money from my non paying client. She did excellent job gathering all the necessary information and her communication with me and the client's lawyer was outstanding. After 1 year of going back and forth she was able to settle my case out of court and with my full compensation from my client.
Exceptional service. I felt like they truly cared about me and my situation. Always able to reach them and were very quick to return calls if I left a voicemail. Very personable law office . I felt comfortable and at ease immediately. Worked extremely hard on my case and always kept me informed about in changes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for Legal representation. Cannot say enough great things.
Melissa was wonderdul! I felt like little had to be worried about, always on time, prepared. Highly knowledgeable. She made me feel more than she cared, that everything's going to be okay. (No matter what happened threw the process). It made my ex feel like his lawyer wasn't worth what he was being paid. ;). All in all she made the mood light when they were tough. I believe she is what helped me threw the separation anxiety part of the relationships end. Thank you a million time more.
I recently used Melissa for a landlord tenant dispute. She was fast and knowledgeable and got me my security deposit refund in about 2 weeks. I really recommend her.
Ms Levine represented us for replacement of defective kitchen cabinet fronts against a large national manufacturer. Not only did we get the defective cabinets replaced but they also replaced all of the others to ensure that the new ones would match. Additionally, she got us full restitution of the labor costs involved even though it was specifically excluded in the manufacturer's written warrantee. The resulting settlement was far better than we ever imagined.
I would definately reccomend Melissa Levine as a attorney. I was invovled in a non-compete case and Melissa kept me well informed and up to date on all information. I felt everytime I needed to talk to her via email or telephone she was always ready and able. For me, that was so comforting. I know Melissa is very passionate for both her work and her clients. I do plan on using her services in the future.

Excellent example of nice remake. Firstly slow then speed up - it will be looks nice on contra force remake if first part will be in pre-mission dialog, and second- fast part as in-mission track. Can you remake entire game's tracks?

Customer Reviews of Citizen Perpetual Calendar Alarm Watch BL8000-54L
Nine years and still runs like new11/22/2014
This is a classic Citizen model that I chose in 2006 - about the time this model hit the marketplace. It was my only watch until last year, when I added a black Seiko solar to my 2-watch collection. The Citizen has been a life-watch . . . I doubt that I would have ever needed another except for style. It hasn't skipped a beat in nine years, and I haven't had it cleaned or been too careful about when I wear it. The only complaint is that the alarm is too weak to hear, but so is the alarm on my new Seiko.

Tofte gets conditional use permit to proceed with senior housing--with conditionsSat, 02/14/2015 - 3:05pm
Cook County Planning and Zoning Administrator Bill Lane came before the Cook County Commissioners on Tuesday, February 10 with a request for a conditional use permit for the township of Tofte to establish a 12-unit senior housing complex on 29.37 acres of property adjacent to the Birch Grove Community Center.
The township hopes to put up two six-unit duplexes built by Dynamic Homes with some done by July 2015.
Based on the recommendation of the Cook County Planning Commission, Lane recommended granting a conditional use permit to the township with several conditions. Tofte must establish a residential planned unit development (PUD) on property adjacent to the Birch Grove Community Center and Good Neighbor Hill Road. Lane said no land use permits would be approved until all requirements of the PUD applications are met, namely: commercial use of the land shall be prohibited; no wetland impacts may occur without approval from the Cook County wetland authority; and landscape preservation standards (Section 5.06; Cook County Zoning Ordinance) shall be applied to the property. If construction plans are modified, documents must be amended.
As far as the septic design, planning documents state, "There needs to better coordination between applicant, septic consultant and the county. At this point, Mitch Everson has not verified any system design flow system layout and soil verification. This will be necessary as part of moving forward with any internal permitting. This will not hinder moving forward with the CUP, but is an area of concern to the Office of Planning and Zoning. "
In addition, Planning and Zoning has requested that the township investigate traffic generation with MnDOT and Cook County.
The county board accepted Lane's recommendation and approved the CUP with the conditions outlined.

Tofte looks at a host of public projectsFri, 02/13/2015 - 12:27pm
A special public meeting was held February 5, 2015 at the Tofte Town Hall to discuss plans to improve the Tofte Town Park, the Gitchi-Gami State Trail routing and wayside design projects that have been in the works for some time. About a dozen people attended.
Justin Otsea, a project manager from the Arrowhead Regional Development Commission (ARDC); Andy Hubley, director of the regional planning division of the ARDC and landscape architect CJ Fernandez, of Fernandez Landscape Architecture, led the discussion.
As for the Gitchi-Gami State Trail, Fernandez said this meeting was a chance to discus opportunities and ideas for improvements along the Highway 61 corridor through Tofte.
The Gitchi-Gami trail has a 1.1-mile gap extending through the town of Tofte. Just where to route the trail was the main topic of discussion. There was talk of running it along the lakewalk near Bluefin Bay Resort, along the power line or of building a tunnel or bridge road crossing. Hubley said adding amenities like tunnels or bridges pushes the cost of design and build-out for bike paths to as much a $1.2 million per mile.
All of the possible trail routes are still on the table, and Fernandez said he would get back to the group at the next meeting with a map showing the different routes they had discussed at this meeting.
There was discussion of improvements at the Tofte Park and of a new proposal for the Marshall Wayside Rest on land owned by the Minnesota DNR on the east side of Tofte, which would include a pull off for cars and a trail to hike down to the lake.
Making up the steering committee will be Maren Webb of Moving Matters, Mark Rudningen of MN DNR, Barb Gervais, John Nelson, Gary Hansen, Dave Monson, Ron Ankeny, John Wytanis and Dennis Rysdahl.
Three Vikings excel at State Alpine Meet!Thu, 02/12/2015 - 11:46am
The three Vikings who advanced to the State Meet at Giant's Ridge on Wednesday, February 11 had stellar performances.
Will Lamb led the Northland boys with his 9th place finish. The CCHS sophomore placed 14th last year.
Lamb's teammate, sophomore Logan Backstrom finished 26th overall and eighth-grade prodigy Reilly Wahlers placed 27 in the girls' race. This is Reilly's second appearance at the state meet.
According to Will's grandfather Skip Lamb, the conditions were tough. Skip was very proud of Will but added that Logan Backstrom's second run was nothing short of incredible, and Wahlers gets more amazing in every race.
Congratulations, Vikings!

It really, really, really doesn't matter what the mathematical average is. Not unless you're an economist doing research.
This calculation simply does not work in real estate. As you said yourself, there are many factors involved in deciding on what you should offer on a home.
1. What do you qualify for?
2. How does the home suit your needs?
3. Does the location make sense for you?
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is..........you might pay $150,000 for a home that someone else would be willing to pay $175,000 for.
What you do need to be concerned with is what is the appraiser going to think it's worth -that is, if you're getting financing. No matter what you think it is worth, the bank must agree or you don't get the loan.
And keep in mind that the value of conventional sales in Wisconsin are being brought down by the surrounding sales regardless of whether they are shortsales or foreclosures.
Hope this was helpful.
Diana Dahlberg, 1 Month Realty
In the end, each property should be looked at as individual since so many factors go into the average. The home you may be looking at may be 5% under market value already or it may be 15% over. It may be in perfect condition is may be run down and on and on.
Remember in most cases this average is taken from final asking price before an offer is accepted, many homes have reductions from list date up to accepted offer date. A good Realtor will treat each home on an individual basis since averages don't tend to mean a lot when you realize the endless amount of factors that make up that average.

Like it a lot. Spent 2 nights in this hotel that is just accross of Miami International airport ( a Little confusing to get there ) but once at the hotel, staff was nice and gave us a 2 bed suite that it was more tan expected. We were a family of 5 and we had a lot of room to move around. 2 TV sets, one living room, fridge, Microwave, kitchennete and everything you need to have a pleasent stay. Room was clean. We had an espectacular view of the lake that is next to the hotel. although it is next to the airport, was reasoable quiet. Anyway, I recommend this hotel and definetly, I would stay there again.

Learn The Basics of Fly Fishing On October 10th
Are you interested in learning the basics of fly fishing so you can enjoy the sport this for years to come? The goal of this class is to instill a basic understanding of fly fishing gear, equipment, and essentials to prepare first time anglers for a day on the water. If you or someone you know has been on the fence and thinking about giving fly fishing a try, this class provides a great baseline and foundation.
Issues on the Fryingpan River?
The Aspen Daily News is reporting potential issues on the Fryingpan River near Basalt, CO and a multi-pronged assessment by the Roaring Fork Conservancy to better understand what is going on. The initial alarm was raised by fly fishing guides on the river. "When the first reports started to trickle in about something unusual on the Fryingpan River, Sharon Clarke thought a few fishermen were simply having bad days on the river. The hatches were occurring below the Ruedi...

The Season of the EGG is Upon Us Yet Again
With the Fall Spawn in full swing, it's time to replenish your egg inventory before heading out for a day on the water. In recent years the "peg egg" has become a big hit in the Rocky Mountain West, with many anglers finding this method of fishing eggs to be far more productive then their "furry" counterparts, in addition to being more friendly on the fish. Few people know more about the benefits of fishing this method than are friends up North at Alaska...
Ringing in the Dirty Thirty, Louisiana Style
Let's face it, turning 30 isn't exactly a milestone we are all looking forward to hitting. But I've always been a firm believer that it's all is how you want to view it, so are you a "glass is half full" or "glass is half empty" kind of person? Luckily I've already been down said path, and thanks to my wife my 30th birthday will be one to remember (and not remember thanks to plentiful brown water libations). So it's fair to say that the bar was set...

Australian Government To Widen Spy Agency Powers, Again 105
from the we-know-what's-best-for-you dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Police and intelligence agencies are tasked with a mission. Like ever other profession, they want to get better and better at what they do. They will always push for more weapons, more power and more of a role in our society. It seems like they won't be satisfied until we all live in glass houses - everyone, that is, except them. I am a fairly optimistic person about the future, but this is one of the issues I don't see a way out of because the only antidote is an engaged citizenry that peacefully, but persistently pushes back and that demands their rights. Unfortunately, the citizenry is half asleep on their couches watching cop shows.
They will widen ASIO's ability to work with and on behalf of the overseas agencies in collecting what is known as ''foreign intelligence''.
Collecting data about Australian citizen's on behalf of overseas agencies?
You won't feel a thing!
I no longer feel empathy for enslaved populations. I sit here in the great U.S. of A. and see my fellow citizens taking this shit lying down and begging for more. Worse yet as I try to rally my fellow citizens to try to stop this they all look at me like I am crazy. And when I tell them stories when good ole gubmint oversteps they just look at me like I am stupid, even when I provide them with links from reputable sources. They just say... ah there is more to the story they are not telling you.
Australia can just go and suck it long and hard, but tell them to leave some room at the feet of their masters, my people with be joining them all too soon!
But... Don't they already do this everywhere?
It's just that here there is a law saying that they can, but it is already done in almost every civilized country...
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Phoenix School welcomes new principal
Linda Daniels is settling into her new job as Phoenix School's principal, but being principal isn't a new role for her.
Daniels served as principal of Lakewood School in Winnipeg for 19 years.
"I'd been at Lakewood and I felt I needed a change," she said.
While still within the St. James-Assiniboia School Division, Phoenix School in Headingley is the only school located outside the City of Winnipeg's boundaries.
Daniels said 160 students from kindergarten to Grade 5 are registered this year, and the school is at capacity. But relief is on the horizon, as construction on a two-classroom addition will begin later in the school year.
"We're managing quite well," said Daniels.
The extra space will allow for a dedicated music room.
She said the students and staff have been very welcoming, and she's enjoying the local community.
