How Closely Do You Look at Your Restaurant Checks?

I'll admit that I'm guilty of simply glancing at the items on checks at restaurants. It's not like I don't pay attention to the total — of course, I'd notice if my bill was much higher than expected — I just don't scrutinize everything listed. What about you?

I hate check nitpickers. I refuse to dine with them.
Yes, I do understand sometimes someone just has a salad, or doesn't have drinks... and I account for that. But I hate when there's someone who's nickel and diming the bill.
A recent phenomenon... which I LOVE... seems to keep happening at a new restaurant in our hood... everyone antes up for the check and we have a TON of money left over. No one wants change either.
So, we tip our server heavily and take the rest to the bar [where we get free drinks from our friend the bartender] and we lay down the remainder for his tip. It's like being in heaven.
IF you're a nickel and dimer, please don't ask me to go to dinner with you.

My husband always gets the check, so I don't really.
If I'm out with a friend for dinner, one of us usually treats and if it's me, I will admit I only look at the total.

I am like the IRS with restaurant bills, Just this past tuesday We were in st augustine for the afternoon, went to eat, i ordered the "fried oyster po boy" and my husband got the Hamburger , anyway the check came and they had charged us for the fried Oyster platter (full 3 bucks more) and an iced tea that we didnt get (i had water) It happens alot, especially if the place is busy like this was.
But i would still recomment the place it was yummy
Florida Cracker Cafe, st george street st augustine!

I glance at the ticket and if its over what I anticipated then I will double check it. I also mark through the tip:____ area if I am leaving cash so they cannot add more money to the receipt.
7 years
I look at everything. I worked briefly at a small hotel restaurant and once observed the manager add small charges to several tables in a single night. $3 dollars to 10 tables a night adds up by the end of the week. I do not know what he did with the money and I didn't ask. I quit after 2 weeks. Not everyone is dishonest but it makes sense to check carefully when dealing with your money. That is my stance anyway.
7 years
I always look- how do you know if you were charged enough OR too much?? I will tell the server either way. And I tip 20% (before a coupon, note) unless the service is bad- then 10-15%. I have only not tipped once and that is because the server ignored us the whole night and then eventually disappeared!
And remedios- that is awful! It should be more prominent on the menu and they should have signs saying they automatically add a gratuity.
7 years
I've been a server for many years and you should ALWAYS at the very least glance at it! Almost every server at one point, no matter how good, is guilty of splitting up a check wrong or even presenting the wrong check. It is an honest mistake as we are human.
But there is nothing more frustrating than someone who hands over their credit card without even looking at the check, and then after you charge their credit card- THEN they have questions or concerns about the bill. But by that point, the card has already been charged and you can't undo that and it takes a billing cycle sometimes for adjustments to be made. So again, you should always at least glance at it!

minaminamina - that is really a shame that our tips arent going where they should. I think this just points to changing the system. Perhaps we need a system where the workers actually get PAID more salarywise and a tip wasnt essential to their well-being. A tip needs to be a bonus not the actual income itself.

i always look
if i'm dining with friends and something of there ends up on my bill thats cool - i don't mind picking up things for friends or family
my big reason for checking is to make sure the waiter or waitress has not made an error and charged us for something we didn't order
it's human to make errors
no body's perfect
i like to double check
7 years
My boyfriend just gives his credit card without even looking at the check. It's probably the only thing I find really annoying about him. I can't understand how he can trust people like that. Mistakes happen all the time. On the other hand, I'm not gonna complain to the waiter if there's only a small mistake, and I'll tip more if he didn't charge us for drinks or extras.
7 years
I usually pay for my own meals and I alway check to make sure everything is right.
7 years
I try to look at everything, but if I'm with my family or some friends, there's always the other math wiz/savvy saver that will do the job for me :D

correction* "I check the bill thoroughly to insure that I have *NOT* been billed for every item I did NOT receive..."
7 years
I'm a hawk. I check the bill thoroughly to insure that I have been billed for every item I did not receive and not double or triple for a single item order by mistake. I will even inform a server if I wasn't billed for something that I received. I just prefer to be absolutely straight with people.

I hope all of you in the US are tipping well on top of checking your check before you pay! Cost of living has gone up and many servers are ending up paying for their tables at tip-out time because people are tipping 10-15% (and often lower) rather than 18-20%. Remedios, added gratuity no matter the size of the party is usually a scam for the restaurants, not on behalf of the servers - servers have to claim that tip, use it to tip out, and usually the house sees the profits of it. I HOPE people were double tipping at that restaurant so those servers could actually earn the money they're forced to pay 8% taxes on.
7 years
I look over it carefully and have no problem in telling the server if something is incorrect. There's not chance in hell I am paying for something I shouldn't. BUT, I am also a really good tipper. So as long as they do the job well, they'll get my money!
7 years
If waiters/waitresses didn't make mistakes, I would never have to look at the check. But they do...often...especially when dining with other people and getting separate checks (even if it's just with one other person). So I'm better off being vigilant about checking.
7 years
If there's a mistake, I often wonder if it wasn't a mistake at all, but intentionally added on. This doesn't happen often, though.
As to scrutinizing, I actually look more after getting it back with the credit card run through.
There's actually a place nearby that adds on the gratuity regardless of the size of the party. It's mentioned on the menu but not prominently. It'll show on the bill, but when the server returns after swiping the card, the check is no longer there. But there sure is a spot to add a tip. I wonder how many times people have double tipped. Probably a lot. It's a scam. This was a long time ago, so I hope they've learned to stop doing that.
7 years
I check it most of the time. One time I went to the restaurant and they charged us for an appetizer that they never gave us. It's always good to check.
7 years
I look briefly, but honestly when we are out ordering drinks it isn't worth fighting over a beer. I actually find it embarrassing when someone does it.
7 years
I look at everything. Sometimes I mentally check the math to make sure the tax is right. I tip well though I'm uber-conscious of the price of each item ordered.

Fun little things, part 2 (which sounds vaguely pornographic, but there you have it.)
Some folks luck out.
Some people "inherit" great landscaping. (Not me.)
Some people get some great plants, despite the fact that they have been overgrown with English ivy for the past fifteen years. (THAT would be me.)
And some people are keeping the mantle to a minimum this year. (That would be me, too.)
So all I did was coerce DL into cutting some of the holly (we have an abundance) and put some white pottery and mercury glass on the mantle. I used little glasses for inside the containers (I never trust the leakage quotient on vintage items) and filled them with holly.
(I found this little mercury glass frog at a home decor shop for five bucks and I had the green beaded garland.)
I put my cracklie green balls into white pottery loving cups that I got on sale at the Tar-jhay. (Realizing that this sounds like Shrek preparing for a football game. Green balls...cup...get it?) (Yes, in real life I AM a 14 year-old boy.)
Yep...keeping it simple.
...or lazy. Whichever.
I'm over at Blog for Rent's Home for the Holidays!
and the mantle party! of The Holiday Link Party

Optical diagnostics of a gliding arc |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 5, pp. 6028-6044 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (4439 KB)
Dynamic processes in a gliding arc plasma generated between two diverging electrodes in ambient air driven by 31.25 kHz AC voltage were investigated using spatially and temporally resolved optical techniques. The life cycles of the gliding arc were tracked in fast movies using a high-speed camera with framing rates of tens to hundreds of kHz, showing details of ignition, motion, pulsation, short-cutting, and extinction of the plasma column. The ignition of a new discharge occurs before the extinction of the previous discharge. The developed, moving plasma column often short-cuts its current path triggered by Townsend breakdown between the two legs of the gliding arc. The emission from the plasma column is shown to pulsate at a frequency of 62.5 kHz, i.e., twice the frequency of the AC power supply. Optical emission spectra of the plasma radiation show the presence of excited N2, NO and OH radicals generated in the plasma and the dependence of their relative intensities on both the distance relative to the electrodes and the phase of the driving AC power. Planar laser-induced fluorescence of the ground-state OH radicals shows high intensity outside the plasma column rather than in the center suggesting that ground-state OH is not formed in the plasma column but in its vicinity.

Would You Cure Your Child's Special Needs?
Lately, there's been lots of news about "curing" special needs—scientists pinpointing the gene for autism or discovering it's possible to switch off the genetic material responsible for Down syndrome. If you love a kid with special needs, this can be troublesome to hear. So when when there's research that will help our perfectly imperfect children, it's reason to rejoice.
Oxytocin can enable children with autism to process social cues, finds a new study from Yale Scale of Medicine. Given as an inhalant, the hormone generated increased activity in parts of the brain associated with social connection. In another study released earlier this fall, researchers at John Hopkins and the National Institutes of Health identified a compound that bolstered learning and memory in mice with a Down-syndrome-like condition; they say it has promise for humans, too.
I'd do anything I could to improve life for my son, Max. He had a stroke at birth that lead to cerebral palsy. But give him a new life? That's so hard to wrap my head around.
If you'd asked me, before I had a child with special needs, whether I would want to prevent autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy (CP) or any number of disabilities, I would have said yes, unhesitatingly. Then I had a child with special needs. And now, there's no longer a black and white answer.
My son Max is not defined by his disability, but it is a definite part of who he is. I don't look at him and see a child who needs to be "cured" or "fixed." I see my child, a cheerful, funny, inquisitive, charming kid (with really good hair). Research that seeks to "cure" disability and wholesale eradicate it concerns me. What kind of awful (not to mention bland) world would we live in if everyone fit the societal mode of "normal?"
The research that seeks to help with symptoms, however, is welcome. If there were a way to permanently loosen up my son's stiff fingers and feet, I would (CP) causes muscle spasticity). If there were a drug that could help Max better pronounce words—which he tries so hard to do—I'd give it to him in a heartbeat. Max knows that he has CP, but he hasn't yet expressed to me how he feels about having it. He takes his condition for granted. Perhaps he will someday wish he didn't have it. But as his parent, even as I try so hard to empower Max to the best of his abilities, I know I'd miss his disabilities if they were gone. He'd be a different child. Perhaps that sounds terribly selfish, even cruel; it's hard to comprehend unless you are a parent of a kid with special needs—or a person with one.
Lately, I've been exchanging emails with an adult who has cerebral palsy and reads my blog. Yesterday, she wrote: "While there is a part of me that knows what I don't have, and I used to grieve for it, I can honestly say that I am at peace with who I am now. Now, if I could have one wish granted, I would not ask for the ability to walk without my crutches. They simply don't bother me anymore. There is a part of me that is afraid that if I wasn't differently-abled, I would be a totally different person with a different personality."
I knew exactly what she meant.
I would not want a whole other child, because I love the one I got.

My "believe it" meter is rising. We arrived today after being closed up for four days. The salon was better than usual but not enough to be certain it wasn't cooler temps, although it was very hot earlier in the week.
Then we opened the heads. I had a single one oz container in two of our three heads. I chose the two that are usually the most in need of airing out. One has the macerator outlet under the counter and is always the toughest, as I'm sure it's impossible to fully clean that line out.
I stuck my nose in the one head that did not have any Kanberra gel (the one that is usually in the best shape). It had the standard back drop of odor, not horrible, but notable until you run some fresh water any get it aired out. Then I went to the one that usually gets your attention after being closed up (the one with the macerator outlet). Practically no odor at all. I said nothing and just asked my wife to check them out. She said the bad one only smelled like stale air, no sewage at all.
This may be the real deal. They make a refill container and I may be leaving these full in the bilge and heads all season.

Because the 7G felt so great and hit a very solid ball (racquet is stiff while being very comfy and you feel very connected to the ball), I've always wanted to try the standard length 5G but the only way to do so is to buy.
So yeah, one of the better options out there, in my opinion, even if it's very under the radar. Same story for just about all of Pro Kennex, I guess.
Oh, and the 'beads' within the frame that rattle around - a little weird and annoying when casually wielding the frame, but I don't remember being bothered by it during play. On the plus side, you can join a Mariachi band and use the racquet instead of maracas.
hahaha..thats awesome. Just need to know some good PK options in case I get more wrist flair up. I havent been able to play yet due to weather.
I know Mikeler plays a ton of tennis, and has good tatse in sticks, so I was interested when I saw his post. It sucks when you get hurt, you start thinking different about racquets..strings..etc.

[co-author: Ryan Lipes]
In yesterday's post, we discussed the current standards that decide when section 75-1.1 applies to acts outside North Carolina.
Those standards raise this question: Do overcharges on goods bought by North Carolina consumers qualify as a substantial in-state effect?
Two recent decisions (both from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan) gave opposite answers to that question.
Similar Facts, Different Outcomes
The first decision was In re Refrigerant Compressors Antitrust Litigation. This multidistrict litigation involved price fixing on refrigerator parts that liquefy Freon.
The plaintiffs in the case hailed from several states, including North Carolina. The North Carolina plaintiffs asserted, among other claims, a 75-1.1 claim. In a motion to dismiss, the defendants argued that the plaintiffs had not alleged a substantial in-state injury, as The "In" Porters, S.A. v. Hanes Printables, Inc. requires. (Part I of this post explains the "In" Porters decision and its background.)
The court concluded that inflated prices paid by a retail customer were an incidental, rather than substantial, in-state injury. The court thus dismissed the section 75-1.1 claim. See pages *18-19 of the opinion.
The second case was In re Automotive Parts Antitrust Litigation. This case involved the same fact pattern, but a different product and a different district court judge. The plaintiffs, who included North Carolina buyers of automobiles, alleged that the defendants conspired outside North Carolina to fix prices on auto parts. This conduct allegedly raised the prices of new vehicles and replacement parts. The North Carolina plaintiffs pursued, among other claims, a 75-1.1 claim. Once again, the defendants moved to dismiss the 75-1.1 claim based on The "In" Porters.
The Automotive Parts court wrote that it was unpersuaded by Refrigerant Compressors. On page *18 of its opinion, the court held that the substantial or incidental nature of an in-state injury is a "fact-based inquiry" that cannot be decided at the Rule 12 stage. The court thus denied the defendants' motion to dismiss.
Diagnosing the Problem
How did the same court reach opposite conclusions on the same issue in these similar cases? The most likely culprit is a lack of definition on what qualifies as a substantial in-state effect.
In each of the above opinions, the Eastern District of Michigan stated a conclusion without laying out any criteria for the substantiality of in-state injuries. The decisions of other courts read similarly. They decide, without much explanation, that a particular injury either does or does not amount to a substantial effect in North Carolina.
A handful of decisions, however, contain deeper analysis. Consider, for example, the decision of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in In re Flonase Antitrust Litigation. There, the plaintiff alleged that a manufacturer raised the price of the drug Flonase through sham patent litigation. The complaint included a 75-1.1 claim. When the manufacturer moved to dismiss the 75-1.1 claim for lack of a substantial in-state injury, the court noted two specific allegations in the complaint: First, the manufacturer sold "large amounts" of Flonase in North Carolina. Second, the manufacturer had "two large development and production facilities" here. According to the court, these allegations plausibly stated a substantial in-state effect.
At this point, though, the data points on what qualifies as a substantial in-state injury are few and far between. Litigants are mostly left to speculate on what facts will decide the substantiality issue. Any number of factors—the magnitude of an overcharge, the number of consumers, or even the defendant's location—could play a role in the analysis.
Lessons from These Cases
These cases offer at least two lessons for businesses that operate outside North Carolina, but whose products or services make their way into the state.
First, a business that faces a 75-1.1 claim based on out-of-state conduct should examine whether any alleged injury took place in North Carolina. If not, the 75-1.1 claim should fail at the threshold. This issue lingered in the background of Refrigerant Compressors. The court noted that the complaint "contain[s] no allegations as to where each [plaintiff] purchased Compressor Products or where it claims to have been injured."
Second, a 75-1.1 claim will be more likely to survive a motion to dismiss if the defendant's product or service is widely distributed in North Carolina. Automotive Parts and Flonase both imply that the substantiality of an in-state injury turns, at least to some degree, on the sheer amount of a defendant's product that is sold in North Carolina.

For ports maintained by firstname.lastname@example.com, remove names and/or e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.
Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script. Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases. To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix. To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Victoria Beckham's curve-hugging dresses have taken over Hollywood, spotted on famous figures like Kim Kardashian, Cameron Diaz, and even Oprah! And the fashionable Brit shows no signs of slowing down. Victoria tells WWD, "This time next year, I would love to have e-commerce. That's something that I'm really researching." But she's also interested in a brick and mortar outpost too: "Having my own store would be great." Could you imagine all those gorgeous sheaths in one room? As for where she'd launch the store, Victoria continues, "I'm very proud to be English and an English designer, and I think that my style is quite European. But I live in America. America is a big territory for me—would it be London? Would it be New York? I don't know. New York sounds quite fabulous." Fabulous (for us!), indeed.
Will Victoria Beckham Open a Store in New York?

Char Siew Pau/叉烧包
This is my 3rd attempt of making char siew pau in a week.
I'm so happy! Finally I got the texture that I want. I think adding baking powder play the trick, that made the pau soft and light texture.
The long slow fermentation of the yeast dough, that help the pau stay soft even when it turn cold.
Here is my new recipe.
Yeast Dough Ingredient:
300 g Hong Kong flour
1 tsp instant yeast
150 ml water
1/2 tsp of salt
To make Yeast Dough
Mix flour, yeast, water and salt together. Just like the No Knead Method. Transfer it into a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge and leave it to rest for at least 15 hours.
Filling Ingredients:
4 chicken drum sticks, cut to small pieces
1 tbsp minced garlic
4 to 5 shallots sliced
1 tbsp of hosin sauce
1/2 tbsp soya sauce
2 3/4 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp dark thick soya sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp tapioca flour diluted with 2 tbsp water
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro/ spring onion
1 tsp sesame oil
To make Filling:
Cut chicken into tiny dices, mix with hosin sauce, soya sauce, sugar, oyster sauce and dark sauce.
Heat wok with a little oil and add in the minced garlic, sliced shallot. Saute until fragrant and add the chicken meat, continue to cook until chicken is well done. Add the tapioca flour and water mixture. Cook until sauce comes back to the boil and thicken.
Add in chopped cilantro or spring onion and drizzle with sesame oil.
Leave to cool.
To make Pau Dough Ingredients:
150 g Hong Kong flour
1 tsp double action baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp shortening
1 tbsp water
1 tsp ammonium bicarbonate
2 tiny drops kan sui(akaline water/potassium carbonate & sodium bi-carbonate solution)
To make Pau Dough after 15 hours:
Sieve the baking powder with the flour.
Mix ammonium bicarbonate, kan sui(akaline water) and water and mix until ammonium bicarbonate is dissolved.
Tear up the yeasted dough into small pieces and place in a bowl, add in the sugar, shortening and the ammonium bicarbonate solution. Knead until well mixed, Add in flour and knead the dough until it is smooth.
Divide dough into portions. Line the divided dough up. Start from the first portion, cup the dough portion with your palm and round it. Repeat with the rest of the portions, lining them up in order.
While making the paus, fill steamer pot with water and bring to the boil.
Roll the first rolled portion dough out into a circle and fill with a tablespoon of cooled filling. Pleat the circle up and seal well. Roll the circle bigger, so that you can have more dough on top of pau. Put a piece of paper at the base of pau and leave in a steamer rack, covered with a damp cloth while you prepare another paus.
Make sure water is in a rolling boil before putting the steamer rack with the prepared paus to steam for 10 minutes, if you are making bigger paus, then steaming time will be longer.
Continue to wrap paus with the char siew filling and steam.
These paus cannot be consumed yet as they stink from the ammonium bicarbonate. A second steaming of 10 minutes is required to allow the ammonium to dissipate.
Enjoy the paus warm.

Roane Newspapers
Friday night is another big night for area high school football teams as most teams in the area will play their second district game of the season.
All five teams from Roane County will be playing district games this week. Harriman opened play a day early by hosting Greenback Thursday in a District 3-A contest. Midway and Rockwood will also take on District 3-A opponents as the Green Wave will be hosting Grace Christian while the Tigers will travel to Tellico Plains.
The Kingston Yellow Jackets have been playing with fire to start the 2009 football season and Friday night they got burned.
In opening the season with two victories over Harriman and Scott, the Jackets waited until their final snap on offense to score game-winning touchdowns, but there would be no magic at Rockwood as the Tigers scored the game-winning touchdown with 9:34 remaining to pick up a 21-14 victory over their county rivals.
Not every eye in Roane County will be focused on Rockwood Friday night, but a lot of attention will be paid to Civitan Field as John Webb's unbeaten Rockwood Tigers host unbeaten Kingston in what could be the game of the year in Roane County this season.
Rockwood and Kingston, however, will not be the only game in Roane County Friday as Midway, Oliver Springs and Harriman will also play at home this week.
By BROWNIE ROSE
It might have only been the first district game of the season, but the Harriman Blue Devils picked up a huge win Friday night as Travis Tapp's squad picked up a hard fought 21-14 victory at Midway to improve to 1-1 overall and 1-0 in District 3-A.
Harriman picked this win Friday night with a stunningly fast start in the first quarter. The Blue Devils rushed for 151 yards in the opening quarter and scored two touchdowns. Eighty-six of the yards came on a Dimitrique Inman dash to the end zone for the second touchdown of the night.
Last Friday night was a good night for four of the five teams in Roane County as Kingston, Midway, Oliver Springs and Rockwood all picked up victories.
While those wins were big, none came in district play, however, and that's why week two of the regular season is even bigger as all five county teams open district play.
In District 4-AA, Kingston will try to build on last week's dramatic win over Harriman as they travel to Huntsville to take on Scott.
Football season is a busy time of year for Luke Ladd.
No Ladd isn't coaching one of the many high school teams in the area. But he does spend a lot of time in the locker room and on the field speaking to Roane, Loudon and Morgan County players as part of his mission with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).
"I tell them what God has put on my heart," Ladd said. "I challenge the players to make good choices both on the field and off. I challenge them to choose to serve God and not the world."
There have been a lot of great players that have made a lot of great plays over the years when Harriman and Kingston get together on the gridiron. None, however, may have made two bigger plays than Kingston senior quarterback Kyle Gough.
Last year, with Kingston trailing 18-14, Gough connected with Nathan Ladd from 36 yards for a touchdown out with 2:35 left to play and that play proved to be the game-winner in Kingston's 20-18 victory over the Blue Devils.
After weeks of grueling practices in the hot August sun and countless scrimmages, it's finally football time in Roane County as all five county teams open play Friday night and now many of the questions surrounding Oliver Springs, Harriman, Rockwood, Kingston and Midway will finally begin to be answered.
Fans of the Rockwood Tigers and Oliver Springs Bobcats have spent a lot of time this preseason saying which team is better on Internet message boards and they pointed to a Thursday scrimmage at Rockwood as the measuring stick between the two teams.
However, fans will still have to wonder as the Tigers and Bobcats battled to a 2-2 tie in varsity action wile each team added a junior varsity touchdown.
Roane County football fans got a preview of four of the five county teams Friday evening as Oliver Springs, Harriman, Midway and Rockwood participated in the 2009 Roane County Football Jamboree played at Oliver Springs' D.J. Brittan Field.
The news was good for the most part as Oliver Springs, Rockwood and Midway all posted shutout wins in their 20-minute quarter while Harriman and Sunbright battled to a scoreless tie in the jamboree's first varsity quarter.

With investors held hostage to government whimsy both here and abroad, coupled with the vagaries of trying to game the market only to be disappointed time and again with one's best laid investment plans going haywire, it may be time to structure a Permanent Portfolio with wealth that is both precious and essential to your long term expectations.
The Permanent Portfolio concept was explained to the average investor in the 1970's by the late Harry Browne. Having a Speculative Portfolio for making educated guesses on the market and a Permanent Portfolio, designed to hold long term investments theoretically assembled to account for the unexpected while producing tangible gains is a seasoned idea which at present merits your consideration.
Inspired by Browne and the steady success of his portfolio successor Michael Cuggino, here is a proposal to construct a Permanent Portfolio on your own, using Exchange Traded Funds.
The premise is to have five categories of investment which will rise or fall independently.This portfolio should be rebalanced every six months to retain the ratio of one category to the others. The goal is to have the portfolio retain absolute value and rise approximately 2% better than the Citigroup 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index annually.
Precious metals: 25%
iShares Comex Gold Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:IAU)15%
iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:SLV)5%
First Trust Global Platinum Index ETF (NASDAQ:PLTM)5%
Swiss Franc Assets: 10%
Currency Shares Swiss Franc Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:FXF) 5%
iShares MSCI Switzerland Index ETF (NYSEARCA:EWL) 5%
Worldwide Real Estate and Natural Resources: 20%
iShares North America Natural Resource Index ETF (NYSEARCA:IGE) 5%
Vanguard Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:VDE) 5%
iShares FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed World Real Estate ex-U.S. ETF (NASDAQ:IFGL)5%
Vanguard REIT ETF(NYSEARCA:VNQ) 5%
Agressive Growth Stocks: 15%
iShares Morningstar Small Company Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:JKK)10%
ProShares Credit Suisse 130/30 ETF (NYSEARCA:CSM)5%
U.S. Treasury Bills, Bonds and Other Dollar Assets: 30%
Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NYSEARCA:BND)10%
Vanguard Short Term Government Bond ETF (NASDAQ:VGSH) 10%
Vanguard Intermediate Term Government Bond ETF (NASDAQ:VGIT) 10%
I have attempted to propose ETFs from established companies that are actively traded (the Swiss Franc ETF excepted) and have low transaction costs and management fees. The percentage allocations to ETFs within a category is not a mandate.
Permanent Portfolio purists have generally invested in gold and silver coins and bars rather than through funds, have used Swiss Confederation Bonds as SF currency and have laddered U.S. government obligations individually.
Disclosure: No positions.

Hi wise teachers and artists,
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on good web resources for art images for my powerpoints. I am always looking all around and it's difficult to find good images of art work sometimes. Is there something that would make my life easier?

I'm having this problem both in development and production. I recently moved to using Wincache as my session handler. It works very well, until the app pool resets and all the sessions are lost. It doesn't appear to be writing out session files and I can't seem to make it work in any of my environments.
session.save_path = "d:\inetpub\php_sessions"
If I comment out session.save_handler = wincache in the ini file, and use the default, session files appear in the save_path. Uncomment save_handler (so wincache is the handler), and session files stop being created. It seems permissions on the save_path are fine, or files wouldn't be written by the default handler.
Ok, gory detail time:
Development environment:

App pool is running under NETWORK SERVICE on both machines. Session directory has read/write permissions for NETWORK SERVICE, IUSR, IIS_IUSER (overly broad, I know).

Simple script I use for testing:
$i = 0;
if (isset($_SESSION['myNum'])) $i = $_SESSION['myNum'];
echo "session_save_path: " . session_save_path();
echo "i: " . $i;
$_SESSION['myNum'] = $i;
I run this repetitively, and see $i increment. I'll then recycle the app pool and watch it go to 0. Using the default session_handler, it works as expected across recycles.
As recommended on other posts, I've used procmon to watch php_cgi.exe during the process. Using the default session_handler, I see explicit calls to the save_path. Using WinCache, there is nothing.
No errors are reported by PHP, and the eventlogs are clear.
Any ideas on what might be going on?

Hi Seth.
I recently found a bug which is probably what is causing this. I have fixed the bug for WinCache 1.2 release. There is a possible workaround which will require you to change your application pool name. Would you be willing to do that? If yes, send me your application
pool name and I can tell you what you can change it to workaround this bug.

Kanwal, thanks for your help. My app pool name is:
Oct 01, 2010 11:24 PM|ksingla|LINK
Seth, If you change apppool name to app_swis_org, you won't run into the bug. Can you give it a try?
Laurin1, doesn't seems like this bug would cause what you are seeing. I will need more info to debug your issue. I will follow up with you on the that forum thread.

Success! Thank-you Kanwal for your prompt help. I made the setting change last night and it fixed the problem. Sessions are now creating files and are successfully surviving app-pool recycles and iis restarts.
Just to recap, for anyone else who has the same or similar problems and stumble upon this thread:
Problem: WinCache 1.1 (IIS 7x, PHP 5.3), set as the PHP session handler, was not writing out session files (file backed sessions). This meant that php sessions worked fine until the app-pool was recycled, then all sessions would be lost.
Solution: My app-pools used the same name as my websites. My sites are the same as their domain name (i.e. www.somesite.com). This meant that my app-pool name had periods (.) in them. By changing the periods to underscores (_), the problem was mitigated. It is possible that there are other characters that cause problems as well, but the period was definitely the problem in my case. It sounds like this bug will be fixed in the v1.2 release of WinCache.
Solution Recap: app-pool named 'www.somesite.com' was renamed 'www_somesite_com' and the problem was mitigated.

Nice catch guys.

Thanks for this I was having the same issue as I name the app pools the same way.

Rome raises revenue for monuments—plus: cheap tropical escapes
Officials in Rome decided this week to implement a new tourist tax on hotels to raise funds for the city's crumbling monuments. Four- and five-star hotel guests will see an additional three euros (about the cost of a small gelato) added to their nightly tab, with other hotels adding two euros per night. Considering DC's own budget deficit, it'll be an interesting development to keep an eye on.
Our absolute favorite travel blogger, Arthur Frommer, wrote about his travel predictions for 2011. Among them: He believes people will eschew hotels in favor of apartment rentals; that Central America will be a trendy destination; and that airfares will go up (that one is kind of a no-brainer). Ours? Sarah and Bristol Palin will start their own cruise, lots of people will come to Washington for cherry-blossom season, and airfares will go up. Okay, so they're not exactly scientific predictions, but we have faith in them nevertheless.
Two deals worth checking out this week, courtesy of Travelzoo: Multiple airlines, including AirTran, JetBlue, Virgin America, and Delta, are offering cut-price fares for travel from the East Coast. Sample fares include Washington to Dallas for $89 each way and Boston to San Francisco for $102. Click here for more offers.
CheapCaribbean.com has an amazing deal on a four-night trip to the island of Curaçao, just off the coast of Venezuela. For $429, you get flights and accommodation at one of two four-star resorts: the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort (described as "the most glamorous and prominent hotel on the island" by Frommer's), or the Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino, featuring a casino, spa, and infinity pool. Travel is valid from January 12 through April 1 and must be booked before December 21.
Finally, just to completely gross you out in time for holiday flights home, BudgetTravel.com has a list of the six places most likely to harbor germs on an airplane. We may never ask for ice again.

Laughed @ Her September 12, 2012
She was a lazy blowjob. Her expression was priceless... however, you get a blowjob from her before you ever marry her. Work with her on her skill set, if it don't work, she doesn't either. $20 blowjob from a hooker down the road would have been more satisfying.
She wont get better October 4, 2013
Good to see she didnt put herself out, trade her in mate
Sad January 16, 2011
She clearly hates pleasing her husband, that's sad :(
LMAO Kool-aid!! January 13, 2011

d January 9, 2011
