City considering donating vacant lot

The Clearwater City Council is considering donating a city-owned lot at 515 Spring Street to Habitat for Humanity.
At the last council meeting, members of the council talked about that option, along with selling the lot. The parcel, which is actually two combined lots, was donated to the city back in 2008 by Guy and Pauline Warner, but has never been used for anything since. At the time it was given to the city, the county estimated its value at about $45,000. Its value now is about $35,000.
There had been suggestions in the past about using it for a small park. But that never materialized. This summer the council discussed whether there was any reason for the city to hold on to the lot.
Since the city has a comprehensive plan, the planning commission had to review whether a sale of the property complies with the plan. In late September, the planning commission ruled there was no reason the city couldn't sell the lot.
In October the council agreed to contact realtors about putting the lot up for sale. In a letter from Oak Realty, Realtor Gary Dagner said he would market the property to potential buyers. He also said an alternative plan would be to offer it to Habitat for Humanity.
"By donating the lot the city receives a benefit that lasts beyond just the initial cash it receives... The city would get a new home built in their community that would mean a family paying taxes in the community, purchasing good in the community and all the other attributes that go along with adding a family to the community."
Dagner said the publicity could bolster others to buy or build on vacant lots in the city, increasing the tax base.
Dagner said he would assist the city in making contact with Habitat for Humanity and would not charge a commission fee.
At the last council meeting, Councilman Cory Broich said he spoke to a person who was interested in working with Habitat for Humanity to build a home. But he said there were still issues the council had to deal with.
Broich said even if the city donated the lot, someone had to pay the fees to split the lot. There are also water and sewer access (WAC & SAC) charges to consider.
Administrator Sue Vergin reminded the council about flooding issues on the property.
"There are considerable drainage issues with those lots. That's why it's one lot," she said. "If you split it you'd have to address the drainage."
Maintenance Supervisor John Schmidt confirmed there were drainage issues there.
"That's the low spot for all the houses on that side of the street," he said.
Councilman Kris Crandall felt the city might be creating an unbuildable lot if they split the two lots and sold the good one.
"Don't you have to address the drainage issue in order to make it a usable lot?" he asked. "It's not just splitting it."
Mayor Pete Edmonson asked if the lot could be graded to address the drainage.
"Is it as simple as bringing in fill to raise the lot?" he asked.
Schmidt said that wouldn't work because the water would find somewhere else to go, most likely an adjacent property.
"Some of the houses are low," he said. "It's the way it was built years ago."
"You raise that and you flood others," said Council-man Chris Ritzer.
Ritzer was worried that the city might donate the part of the property that didn't have drainage problems. "My concern is we're going to get rid of a piece of a lot, which will virtually make the rest unbuildable," he said.
Edmonson said the city might be able to offer the remaining piece to an adjacent landowner.
Although the council didn't have a clear solution for the drainage problem, City Continued On Page 2
they were interested in the possibility of a Habitat for Humanity project.
"I worked with Habitat for Humanity before in St. Cloud," said Crandall. "They're a good program. They do a lot of research and background on their potential candidates."
Councilman Mike Ranum said they typically ask for community participation in addition to donating the land.
"It's going up in our community so they're probably going to want us to volunteer a certain number of hours also," he said. "It's not as simple as giving them the land. They also have to find corporate sponsors because 90% of their stuff is donated."
Ranum said it usually takes between 14 and 24 months for a project to be completed from the ground up.
"That's what I've experienced," he said, "with raw land."
The council did not commit to a Habitat for Humanity project. They tabled a decision until February. In the meantime, Broich will have the interested person contact Dagner about the process required by Habitat for Humanity.

We just found and fixed this issue… I will include in the next update…
hi i took this theme and adopted it to my needs, liked almost everything about it ( you should integrate the slimbox with every template and replace the 3 "homeboxes" with widgets; as a text-widget would do the same), the code is very clean and thanks for the good docu;
the only issue i have is that i'm developing this local and testing the mailform i still get a "firewall" warning that tells me something tries to connect to templatesquare.com (which seems to be your plattform );
I already "modified" the contact-template ( corrected the link to templatebox
$emailTo = 'testmail"at"templatesquare.com'; ) and i do not find any other connection or script that calls your site, i'm feeling not comfortable using a theme that tries to connect to somewhere else ?!!!
hope you can tell me where to search or correct this issue ?
best regards
working on mac / mamp / wp2.9.2 (little snitch – firewall ) /
I don't think you can test the email form in the local development, please upload to host then you can test the form.
Thanks for the great theme. Is it possible to add a search field in the header? If so, how could this be accomplished?
Yes, it possible.
Please send a message to me via my profile page http://themeforest.net/user/swalian including this questions/problems, your site url and theme name.
I will reply with the guide via email.
how can i make submenu? i dont understand the "order" thing
thank you, great job
Please download the latest version 1.1, there is no sub menu feature in the older version. thanks
The template says 10 page website – can I have more than 10 pages
Not 10 pages website, its 10 page templates… you can use each template to unlimited pages. Thanks
Hi swalian
Please could you reply to my emails that I sent to you.
If we can do biz then I have some more work for you if your are interested!
If you can't help me then please let me know and I will contact other designers for assistance.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 4/7/13
Mike Smith stopped 24 shots in his return to the Phoenix lineup and earned his fifth shutout of the season as the Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 on Saturday night. Martin Hanzal and Shane Doan each had a goal and an assist, Mikkel Boedker and Boyd Gordon also scored, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson had two assists for the Coyotes, who won their third straight. Phoenix jumped ahead of Columbus and Edmonton into ninth place in the Western Conference, two points behind St. Louis and three behind seventh-place Detroit. Smith hadn't played since sustaining an upper body injury on March 21 when he was run over by Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler. Against the hapless Avalanche, who are 4-13-1 in their past 18 games, Smith rarely was tested. He posted his 24th NHL shutout and improved to 7-1-1 against Colorado.

Tony Dokoupil on what happens to orphans in a country where adoption is virtually unheard of.
The Christian Alliance for orphans launched an initiative called orphans Deserve Better.
The Sisters and the 45 orphans who live there with them were all outside in the darkness.
c.1300, from Late Latin orphanus "parentless child" (source of Old French orfeno, Italian orfano), from Greek orphanos "orphaned, without parents, fatherless," literally "deprived," from orphos "bereft," from PIE *orbho- "bereft of father," also "deprived of free status," from root *orbh- "to change allegiance, to pass from one status to another" (cf. Hittite harb- "change allegiance," Latin orbus "bereft," Sanskrit arbhah "weak, child," Armenian orb "orphan," Old Irish orbe "heir," Old Church Slavonic rabu "slave," rabota "servitude" (cf. robot), Gothic arbja, German erbe, Old English ierfa "heir," Old High German arabeit, German Arbeit "work," Old Frisian arbed, Old English earfoð "hardship, suffering, trouble"). As an adjective from late 15c.
1814, from orphan (n.). Related: Orphaned; orphaning.
A model of a car, boat, computer, etc, which is no longer being manufactured, and for which spare parts are hard to find (1940s+)
(Lam. 5:3), i.e., desolate and without protectors. The word occurs only here. In John 14:18 the word there rendered "comfortless" (R.V., "desolate;" marg., "orphans") properly means "orphans." The same Greek word is rendered "fatherless" in James 1:27.

By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
Itron and Cisco win big in Los Angeles. Telvent and Tendril ink sweet deals in Australia. Elster is selling more meters in Brazil and Schneider Electric will be charging up Pecan Street EVs. We've got all of that and more to tell you about in this week's smart grid wins installment - including a 'hats off' to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (see page 2).
· Itron and Cisco were selected to join the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADWP) smart grid demonstration project. LADWP - the largest municipal utility in the U.S. -- will install up to 52,000 Itron smart electric meters and 20 smart water modules that will operate over an integrated cellular and multi-application IPv6 communication network based on the Cisco GridBlocks architecture using Cisco Connected Grid routers and Network Management System. Read more >>
· Telvent has been selected by SA Power Networks of Australia to provide an advanced distribution management system (advanced DMS). It represents the first major advanced DMS project for Telvent in Australia and one of the company's largest in the world. The company says it will allow SA Power Networks to serve its 830,000 customers more reliably with better overall network management and when fully implemented, self-healing outage and demand response capabilities will support automated solutions for faster and more effective management of power outages, peak load events and embedded generation. Read more >>
· Tendril confirms that Origin Energy, an Australian integrated energy company, launched its Origin Smart service built on the Tendril Energize application suite, providing its customers in Victoria insight into how they are using energy, along with tools to better manage their electricity consumption and bills. The rollout comes after a successful consumer engagement pilot using Tendril Energizer last year. Origin is Australia's leading energy retailer with 4.4 million customers. Read more >>
· Comverge reports that Progress Energy Florida will utilize its IntelliSOURCE Demand Response Management System (DRMS) for a 700 megawatt demand response program featuring two-way load management. The Comverge platform, which enables automation and end-to-end support for mass-market DR programs, will control 500,000 energy management devices that will be deployed throughout Florida. Read more >>
· Survalent Technology has commissioned a new Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for Wasaga Distribution which serves 12,000 customers in its Ontario service area and has more than 235 kilometers of conductor, both overhead and underground. According to Survalent the system also has more than 1400 distribution transformers, and nearly 5000 poles in service, fed from five owned, and one shared distribution stations. Read more >>
· EnerNOC has finalized an agreement with TransGrid, the New South Wales transmission network operator, to provide 35 megawatts of demand response capacity in the Sydney metropolitan area. The agreement is expected to help reduce peak demand and support Sydney's high voltage electricity grid this coming summer. Read more >>
· Elster announced that a leading Brazilian utility, Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo (SABESP), has selected it to supply an additional 193,000 single-jet water meters in Brazil over the next six months. "With the growing importance of water conservation in Latin America, Elster's water metering solutions can support utilities such as SABESP to accurately bill customers for water usage and to identify leaks within the distribution system," noted Jerry Lauzze, EVP of Elster's global water business. Read more >>
· Schneider Electric's EVlink Level 2 indoor electric vehicle (EV) charging station was selected by Pecan Street Inc. to offer participants in its EV research project in Austin, Texas.

Read more >>
· AutoGrid Systems of Palo Alto, CA has raised $9 million in venture funding from leading investors in the Silicon Valley, including Foundation Capital, Voyager Capital and Stanford University. The company, which provides data analytics and software services that help utilities and end-users control their power consumption and costs, also announced it has signed contracts worth more than $5 million with ARPA-E, the advanced projects research agency of the U.S. Department of Energy, and the California Energy Commission. Read more >>
· Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories gets our rave this week. It has increased its disaster discount to 30% - up from a usual 10% - to customers affected by Hurricane Sandy. The 100% employee-owned company headquartered in Pullman, WA has also made an immediate donation of $100,000 to the American Red Cross to help in its relief efforts. Read more >>
· IDC Energy Insights announced that two of its analysts, Jill Feblowitz and Dean Chuang, have been listed among the most visible U.S. influencers within the energy industry according to Text100's Digital Index: Energy.

Running backs: From Arizona to Washington
Who will be the top fantasy running back this season?
Arian Foster 8% (2)
Ray Rice 21% (5)
LeSean McCoy 25% (6)
Ryan Mathews 29% (7)
Other 17% (4)
24 total votes.
While I believe the quarterback position has been elevated in importance within fantasy football, there's still no denying selecting good running backs is still vital in constructing your championship team.
Here's a breakdown team-by-team:
Arizona Cardinals
There's some thunder and lightning forming in the desert. Beanie Wells (thunder) and Ryan Williams (lightning) are expected to share duties. Wells remains out while recovering from knee surgery, while Williams missed all of last year, his rookie season, with a torn patellar tendon. Both are closing in on 100 percent though. The Cardinals are a passing team, but they will run to close games out if they get the chance. Draft either as a RB3, with the potential for a RB2 if one of them gets hurt again. LaRod Stephens-Howling shouldn't be drafted, but he has nice skills in the passing game and on draw plays. If both Wells, and Williams go down, Stephens-Howling will be a decent waiver wire pickup.
Atlanta Falcons
I made it clear in my "do-not-draft" list, I'm not a fan of Michael Turner this season. Given the investments in Matt Ryan, Roddy White, and Julio Jones, expect the offense to fully transition into a pass-first system. Because of Turner's wear and tear, Jacquizz Rodgers will see more action this season. Rodgers has sleeper potential if Turner misses any time, because of his speed, and skill out of the backfield.
Baltimore Ravens
I wouldn't argue with anyone that selects Ray Rice No. 1 overall. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Rice rarely comes off the field and has missed only three games in his career because of injury, all coming in his rookie season. Competition is currently taking place between third-round pick Bernard Pierce, and Anthony Allen for the right to give Rice a breather, albeit, a quick one. Allen likely has the advantage because he already has NFL experience, but the Ravens abhor trading draft picks and they were willing to trade one in order to move up in the third round to make sure they got Pierce. So there's no question that they are high on the Temple product. If you draft Rice, monitor this situation throughout the season, just in case something happens.
Buffalo Bills
Fred Jackson amassed 1,074 yards from scrimmage in seven games before breaking his right leg last season. He's fine now, but he will have to share the load with C.J. Spiller this time around. Their coach Chan Gailey offered this: "I said this way back: 'Everybody that is supposed to touch the ball won't be happy, because nobody's going to get it as much as they would like." That's fine. They're both dynamic, and I expect big things out of Buffalo's offense this season. Draft Jackson as a RB2 -- he would certainly be a RB1 if Spiller wasn't there -- and Spiller at a RB3 to start.
Carolina Panthers
This thing is a mess! No one questions the talent or potential of DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert. The obvious problem is that they are on the same team. Toss in their QB Cam Newton broke the rushing touchdown record for signal callers in his rookie season, and you should recognize the red flags. If you draft one, make sure it's as a RB3 or RB4, and only because you plan on working the matchups, not because you plan to start them on a regular basis.

SkyTeam Alliance is preparing to implement new
technology that will enable alliance members to exchange PNR records and other data
without having to invest in a common platform.
SkyTeam chairman Leo van Wijk
told the Amadeus Horizons conference in Bangkok
the alliance is pursuing newly available technology which represents "a major
step forward in improving the interchangeability of
to ATI following the speech, van Wijk said SkyTeam's committee of chief information officers recently
decided a new web-based messaging technology which the members are already
starting to use for internal communications can also be used between the
carriers to exchange data. He says the SkyTeam board
will vote at its next meeting in June on whether to acquire and implement the
technology, which is available from multiple suppliers.
all the IT managers having agreed to it recently I have no doubt it will be
approved," van Wijk says.
adds the technology will only cost each member €1 million to €2 million. Trials
will likely begin before the end of this year, followed by a phased
three global alliances now struggle to share data because every carrier has its
own IT platform. This limits the alliances from providing several key services,
including the ability for a member to change a ticket that was issued by
another member. This limitation makes it very difficult for passengers with
multi-carrier itineraries when they find themselves wanting to make a change in
a country the ticketing carrier does not serve but other members of the alliance
have a presence.
an effort to provide more seamless services, Star selected Amadeus in 2005 to
develop a common IT platform for the alliance based on its Altea
platform. Amadeus and Star have just announced TAP as the sixth member to sign
up for the platform, joining United Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Adria Airways and Croatia Airlines.
SkyTeam and Oneworld have
decided against following Star in pursuing common platforms.
airlines in an alliance going to a standard IT system won't happen in my
opinion for all sorts of reasons," van Wijk says.
says it is unrealistic to expect all carriers in an alliance to acquire one
system and it would take too long to wait for all carriers to migrate. With the
alternative technology now being pursued by SkyTeam,
"you can do it step by step".
believe there is an architecture possible where there isn't one system but you
can still communicate data," van Wijk adds.
Pacific Airways chief information officer Edward Nicol says Oneworld's
committee of CIOs also has come to the conclusion
that pursuing a common IT platform is unrealistic. He says Oneworld
believes it can provide a seamless service to customers, including the ability
for members to change tickets that are issued by another member, without moving
to a common platform.
tells ATI that Oneworld
is now working on implementing a simple solution that allows carriers to access
data entered by another carrier. He claims Oneworld
is ahead of SkyTeam and Star in its effort to improve
the accessibility of passenger data.
look at the other alliances and the rhetoric is well ahead of reality," Nicol
says. "We're focusing on what customers want. Customers don't care what the
system is. They want a seamless experience."
Lufthansa senior vice president and chief information officer Christoph Ganswindt says for Star
to really provide a seamless service a common IT platform is the answer.
Ganswindt says after a slow start following the
decision of Lufthansa and United to launch the product, "we see more and more
carriers selecting" altea and "there is a lot of
momentum now." Ganswindt adds there are now three
other Star members "in the process of signing up" for the platform.

The final two jewellery auctions for the spring season were held in New York and both were rather lacklustre events. But there were still several highlights. Coloured gems continued to show their strength while diamonds and signed jewels retained their value and interest.
Bloomberg and the CME Group recently teamed up to bring together some of the sharpest minds in precious metals at a conference in London, and one of the strongest jewellery trends that emerged from this Precious Metals Forum was that China will be the superconsumer of luxury jewels over the next five years.
US consumers are spending less overall, but things on the luxury end of the market are still growing a steady pace. I don't if it's the lack of a robust marketplace or that designers at the high end of the market are confident, but the designs at the Couture Show displayed lots of creativity and diversity.
It's been a truism that, for gemstones to sell, they had to be highly transparent, free from inclusions, and of good to excellent color, not to mention of the best modern cuts.
JewelleryNetAsia is a B2B portal bringing Buyer and sellers in the jewellery and gem industry together online. Its online showrooms, directories and fair news attract over 66, 000 global jewellery Buyer every month to find new products, reliable suppliers and industry's leading events.

Twenty-one, as the wolf was known by his tag number in Yellowstone National Park, was surely the greatest wolf that ever lived. He was legendary in that he never lost a fight when other wolves would challenge his territory ... (click for more)

An autopsy on Peaches Geldof was inconclusive and toxicology tests will be conducted in an attempt to determine what killed the 25-year-old celebrity, police said Wednesday.
An autopsy on Peaches Geldof was inconclusive and toxicology tests will be conducted in an attempt to determine what killed the 25-year-old celebrity, police said Wednesday.
Geldof was pronounced dead by paramedics at her home in southeast England on Monday.
Kent Police said a post-mortem examination had not revealed the cause and a toxicology report could take several weeks.
Geldof, the daughter of Irish musician Bob Geldof and the late TV presenter Paula Yates, had worked as a model, writer and television show host.

She grew up in the glare of Britain's press, which reveled in the late-night antics of her teenage years, and in the shadow of her mother's death from a drug overdose when Peaches was 11.
More recently she had married for a second time, to musician Tom Cohen, had two young sons and worked as a broadcaster and fashion writer. She said in 2009 that her drug-taking years were behind her.
In a column for Mother and Baby magazine, published the day after her death, Geldof wrote that motherhood had made her "happier than ever."
"I've achieved a sort of perfect balance," she wrote. "Right now life is good. And being a mum is the best part of it. "
Police are treating her death as non-suspicious but unexplained. The force said detectives are investigating the circumstances and will hand their report to a coroner, who is likely to hold an inquest.
In Britain, coroners usually hold inquests to determine the facts of unexplained, sudden or violent deaths.

Stocks have been the better investment for the last year. And the last 5 years. And the last decade. And for all time. Plus, no renters to shake down for rents or to have call you at 2AM to unclog a toliet.
The real question (s) is - what is it that is causing the supply of housing to dwindle? There are reasons behind the observations and I for one am quite dubious of this 'run up' in prices due to dwindling supply. Me thinks there are many who have flat out given up - are underwater and are not putting their house on the market as they once did. This in addition to fewer quality jobs and you have a recipe for another false start in housing.
See Mark Hanson Advisers for more.
Does the fact that you are in Chicago, the worst(arguably) performing housing / RE market, make you biased?

Joel Zumaya to undergo MRI after abbreviated throwing session
Feb 25, 2012, 12:54 PM EDT
UPDATE: Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com reports that the injury was to the inside of Zumaya's elbow. The Twins will know the MRI results either tomorrow or Monday morning.
12:54 PM: Uh-oh. Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports that Zumaya is scheduled to undergo an MRI tomorrow.
12:10 PM: Nothing official yet from the team, but Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that Zumaya felt "something" in his arm and will get it checked out.
11:54 AM: It's a little early to speculate, but given Joel Zumaya's lengthy injury history, these Tweets from Phil Mackey of 1500ESPN.com are a bit concerning.
Not sure what to read into this, but Joel Zumaya ended his throwing session early and walked off with head trainer Rick McWane. #Twins—
Phil Mackey (@PMac21) February 25, 2012
In the 5 minutes Zumaya did throw, hitters were impressed with the velocity and so was his catcher, Chris Herrmann. #Twins—
Phil Mackey (@PMac21) February 25, 2012
Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com writes that Zumaya declined to speak with the media following the abbreviated throwing session.
Zumaya, 27, signed a one-year, $850,000 contract with the Twins in January after missing the entire 2011 season following major elbow surgery. According to Bollinger, the Twins will only have to pay him $400,000 if they decide to cut him during spring training due to injury.
- Marc - Feb 25, 2012 at 12:42 PM
I'm not sure if this or the Grady Sizemore injury news is more shocking.
- brokea$$lovesmesomeme - Feb 25, 2012 at 3:28 PM
Dude is done. Take your 4million and call it good
- proudlycanadian - Feb 25, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Zumaya has been more fragile than Harden. That is quite difficult. I wish him well.
- randygnyc - Feb 25, 2012 at 4:45 PM
END. OF. CAREER. (sorry to say) Please stop, Joel, before you lose that arm.
- Tim OShenko - Feb 25, 2012 at 7:20 PM
I hope this is just Zumaya being Zumaya, and not some omen that the Twins are in for another injury-riddled season.
- tigerman3 - Feb 25, 2012 at 9:18 PM
As a tiger fan this dose'nt come as a suprise. even thoe he can still hit mid to high 90's they decided he can't help the team if he's not on the field.
The Mariners should be on alert next Carlos Guillen is probably due to go down next.

I'm a bit obsessed with pumpkin -- and I can't really make a secret of that, considering I chat about it all the time! Whether we're talking about pie, pancakes, lattes or soup, I'm powerless to turn down anything related to that giant orange gourd.
So when word got out that Rita's, a national custard company, was offering a Pumpkin Pie Cream Ice (note: "cream ice," not "ice cream") dessert in my neck of the woods, I wasted no time scurrying right over! The "pumpkin" flavoring is actually the ice itself, at the bottom of the dish, with the "cream" coming in the form of heavy whipped cream on top. It's decadent but not overly sweet -- very important to me! -- and definitely hits the spot for pumpkin lovers. It lacks the pie crust crunch of a dessert like Dairy Queen's Pumpkin Pie Blizzard, but it's also not as filling as that treat, too.
My sister covered hers in rainbow sprinkles, but I'm definitely a purist -- just ice and cream for me, thanks! But if you're into that sort of thing, she approved.
The Rita's franchise in my neighborhood is closed by the end of October, but many around the country stay open year-round. If you're looking for a new twist on a classic dessert, make sure you pop over and grab this one before Halloween!

Transport for London (TfL) has this week owned up and made public the actual purchase price of the New Bus For London (NBfL), aka Boris Bus or BozzaMaster. And that price, at £354,500 per vehicle, makes the NBfL around £50,000 more expensive than a comparable off-the-shelf hybrid double decker. So, despite Bozza's promises, the NBfL will not be price competitive with alternatives.
Tonight I will be working with the Mayor or London's inspirational director of mentoring Ray Lewis as he leads a new drive to increase the number of mentors available for young Londoners.
Boris Johnson prefaces his 800-word hagiography on Qatar - 'We can't afford to ignore our dynamic friends in the East' - with an anecdote about camel ...
When I first touched down in Heathrow on 2 June 2012 I was broke, had one tattoo and was engaged. Now, I'm still broke, but I have collected 21 more tattoos (soon to be 22 - sorry Mum), and I'm definitely not engaged anymore.
When it comes to the UAE, British values whither when the temptation of untold riches is on offer. Certain politicians have grabbed all they can, be it for personal gain or departmental funds, and ignored abuses against British and Emirati citizens alike.
New research by national sight loss charity RNIB has revealed that 17,000 vision impaired people of working age look set to be displaced from their homes as a result of the Bedroom Tax. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, they will have to choose between relocating or losing a portion of their benefits (which will be on average £14 a week; a sizeable sum when you are already struggling to make ends meet).
As a cyclist myself, I congratulate Boris on scaling up his transport ambitions and recognising the benefits of making London a cycle friendly city; if just some of his plans go through, they will be a great victory for cycling in London. The plans however face many obstacles...
Let me make it clear: I am not a Boris Johnson fan. For me, he is a sideshow act; although I do believe he is serious about having power. Having watched Eddie Mair eviscerate him on the Marr show the day before, I was curious to see him up close and personal.
However many classical or sporting analogies he cites, whatever his chances of being reincarnated as an olive really are, we all know that Boris would kill to be prime minister. But then, the same is true of almost every single minister and the vast majority of MPs.
In the wake of Boris Johnson's train wreck interview on the Andrew Marr Show, much has been said about both Boris' future and the rights and wrongs of Eddie Mair's questioning style. But I think the major issue thrown up by the interview has yet to be discussed: whether or not Boris Johnson has what it takes to be the leader of a major party and what the interview on Sunday said about those ambitions.
Superheroes? Maybe not. Superficially alluring to a small subsection of disenchanted Tory voters? Certainly. Able to push a jittery Tory party to the right, despite having few policies and no MPs? Quite possibly.
All of those who think that Eddie Mair M was grandstanding on the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday have never heard the man and his work over a decade daily on BBC Radio 4. If you actually do listen to him, you'll already know that his questioning of Boris Johnson was vintage Mair and the way that this fine journalist/broadcaster treats EVERYBODY.
The Mayor of London is a brand, one of the reasons that he is simply "Boris". One name and pop! we get the entire picture. And the picture is indeed writ large. Like something out of an international Dickens fantasy...
Has the Tory right gone mad? Taken collective leave of its senses? The non-stop chatter about whether or not David Cameron will survive until 2015 and the endless speculation about whether it'll be Theresa May or Boris Johnson who succeeds him is bizarre. In fact, I find myself, weirdly, unusually and unexpectedly, coming to the defence of our poor prime minister.
I didn't do an apprenticeship, but I did a close second, which was a trainee scheme offered by my first employer. Six months of constant mentoring and moving around different roles, learning how things ticked and why my efforts made a difference to both me, my colleagues and the company.
Levels of cycling in Britain are amongst the lowest across Europe - only 2% of us use a bike as our main method of getting around. In the Netherlands, 20 times more journeys are made by bike by people under 17 than in the UK. And the main reason for this is the perceived lack of safety.

We all got our flu shots this week. No reactions for DS (2 years) or DH, I have a sore arm I think because I tense up no matter what I try to do.
Dd1 (12 years old) got her 3rd and final HPV shot recently. A little tenderness at the injection site, but nothing worse. I'm very grateful she likely won't have to go through what I did with HPV (I had to have a portion of my cervix removed when I was 17 because of it).
Gardasil, Menactra, and HepA today. One sore arm. A little weak in the knees after the shots, which I understand occasionally happens with Gardasil, but may also have been the reaction to an adrenaline rush (she's really really scared of needles, but understands why vaxes are important). She was fine within 10 minutes, though, so I'll put it in the "no serious reaction" thread.
Oh, and flu shots for both of us earlier this season with no issues and no flu!
Carseat-checking (CPST) and WAH mama to a thirteen-year-old girl.
A friend of ours recently got the flu. He wasn't vaxed. His wife is a nurse, and she was vaxed, and didn't get it. They'd been at our house the day before he was diagnosed, but none of us got it; I like to think the vaxes worked for us. (Which reminds me, I still need to schedule Daughter to get the second vaccine.)
I agree - talking with the kids about why they're getting what they're getting is important.
The nurse in the UK who gave pre-school boosters to my son called them "scratchy medicine" which he still remembers.
Mother of two living in UK. Daughter (2007) born in USA, son (2010) born here. I'm pro natural birth, midwife care, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby wearing and a keen advocate of cloth diapering. I'm a full time working research scientist (physical sciences). Vaccines save lives.
Daughter read through all the Vaccine Information Statements and decided that she wanted all the shots yesterday. (I would have insisted on meningitis and pushed HepA, but would have allowed her to delay Gardasil).
The doctor and nurse had no problem giving her the sheets and the time to read them and decide.
I wonder sometimes. Most of us pro-vaxers have had reasonably good experiences with informed consent. Many vaccine critics have not. I wonder why that happens.
Carseat-checking (CPST) and WAH mama to a thirteen-year-old girl.
Got Daughter her second flu shot on Thursday. She did fine. Actually cried when she saw the needle coming at her, but was okay afterward. Thanked the nurse when she gave her a band-aid. No reactions afterwards. Little Guy is too young for anything but Hep B, but we delayed that because my titers are still good (they drew them in the hospital for me!) His turn in a couple months. It's always a little anxiety-inducing, I think, but after watching Daughter have no issues through the entire process I'm less worried this time.
My 8-week-old will get his first shots next week. Can't wait to have a social life again. I am just so apprehensive taking an unvaxed baby ANYWHERE.
I'd been meaning to check the school calendar to see when the next rounds of shots were so I could give DD a heads up. Guess I should have gotten on that a little sooner. It was last week and DD found out when the nurse popped into her gym class to get her - she was the first called. Oops. Poor kid. She was mad when she got home.
Her poor arm was so sore for the next couple days that she couldn't possibly unload the dishwasher or pick up any of her belongings dropped on the floor! Oh the moaning and clutching at her arm whenever she tried! And I don't doubt that it was a little sore, but I also note that it didn't bother her at all those same days when she was throwing her sled over our 5 foot fence and then climbing over it herself to go sledding, wrestling with her brother, and in martial arts class or swimming lessons, or pretty much any other time when she wasn't bemoaning the lack of warning or being asked to do something she didn't want to do.
It was the second round of Gardasil and hepatitis B.
I usually don't hang around here too often but I'm happy to report DD had her second DTaP with no issues. Now it will be DS's 3rd one soon and I'm worried he'll get the lump again.
Yesterday I took my 15 month old to his checkup and he got another round of Prevnar and his first Varicella and MMR. He cried during the shot, but then was happy afterwards. We went for frozen yogurt to make him feel better. He had no swelling at the injection site and not even a fever.
My three-month-old has no thyroid. All his jags will be done inpatient. First load was done four weeks ago with NO reaction whatsoever. Unless you count "smiling more on cue" for the first time in the following hours a reaction. Next shots next week :)
Little Guy had his 2 month shots this morning. We have a new doc and instead of one in each leg, the medical assistant did both in the same leg in really fast succession. They call her "Vicky the Vaccinator" because she's so efficient. He was eating interspersed with fussing during most of the time we were in the room, then finally fell asleep. So when I put him down on the table for the vaccines, he woke up somewhat, then cried in indignation once he got the shot, but then pretty much fell right back asleep and napped off and on for most of the rest of the day, as he is wont to do. He was a little fussier than usual this evening, but that could just be a coincidence because he has been starting to wake up more and be more particular about getting put down vs. being held.
2nd shots done. This time again, NO reactions whatsoever. Not even a bump on the legs. He is the happiest, smiliest little guy who is now giving us belly chuckles. Was a bit worried about the location of shots as I wear him a lot, so they gave them to him a little higher and more in the middle rather than the sides of the leg. He just flinched a little, gave a whimper, bf, went back in his sling and had a happy walk home, smiling in his new wrap and matching bandana!

Forgot to add this to the thread.
My son has his 2 year check up on Monday and got his last dose of Hep A and blood work to check for iron levels. He is completely up to date and doesn't need any more shots until 4, yay!
He had absolutely no reactions, did not even cry from the shot :) He's been completely normal and his usual happy go lucky self!

My oldest and youngest went in for vaccinations at the same time the other day. The 9 yr old was smug over her not needing any for a few more years. Everyone is doing fine and thankfully contributing to a healthier home, school and society.

Baby girl was absolutely fine.
She goes for her 2 month vaccines pretty soon and I will update about how it goes!

Customer relationship management (CRM) consultants are responsible for providing operation services for clients that include custom development, application management, and business process outsourcing. They also develop the support environment for post-implementation "go-live" environments, work to transition the project support from the project developers to the project support team, and help maintain the client's applications and necessary technology infrastructure.Read More...
The successful CRM consultant has a strong background in business analytics and possesses excellent technical skills. Their role includes programming, project management, project development, systems configuration, and development; they also train and mentor staff members in current projects. As several projects may be under development concurrently, the ability to multitask and work independently is critical. CRM consultants also must have to have excellent communication and customer service skills, as a portion of their job entails communicating with customers and relaying concerns and requirements to the appropriate team members to be addressed.
CRM consultants generally must possess a bachelor's degree in a related field and have at least five years' experience in data mapping. They also need to have five years experience in project/program management. CRM consultants must be proficient with computers, especially with Microsoft Office applications, and they must be able to work on multiple tasks simultaneously proficiently and with minimum direct supervision. Flexibility in working hours and a willingness to travel to the customer's location both during implementation and during the "go-live" phase is also required.
Customer Relationship Management Consultants report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in C#, IT Consulting, Salesforce, and Customer Relationship Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 10 percent and 16 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Project Management. Those proficient in Customer Relationship Management are, more often than not, also skilled in Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Customer Relationship Management Consultants generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. The average inexperienced worker's salary is approximately $65K, and people with five to 10 years of experience bring in more at around $89K on average. For Customer Relationship Management Consultants, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $97K. Average wages for folks with more than 20 years of experience come out to around $145K.
With a pay rate for Customer Relationship Management Consultants that is 27 percent greater than the national average, New York offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Customer Relationship Management Consultants will also find cushy salaries in Dallas (+24 percent), Washington (+21 percent), Chicago (+13 percent), and Houston (+10 percent). Customer Relationship Management Consultants' salaries are heavily influenced by location — Customer Relationship Management Consultants in Charlotte bring in salaries that are 28 percent lower than the national average.
