This year simply expect "MORE" – More Results, More Success, More Skills, More Fun, and More Possibilities – infinite possibilities! In fact, this program includes a whopping 19.5 contact hours (CEUs)!
That's what you can expect in this pivotal learning and empowerment event:
October 14 – October 17, 2015
What if your skills and confidence were boosted, and your business suddenly took off tomorrow? What would it mean to you?
Would you finally get to stop worrying and stressing about money and working so hard?
Would you finally have time for your family (and yourself)?
Would you be making an amazing living with the life you've been dreaming of?
Whether your dream is just to enhance or your skills and get your business ramped up with no more struggle and stress, or it's something much bigger like creating a business that lets you do what you want – from writing a book to having the freedom and flexibility to take time off and travel – now can be your time and CDI can be your guide.
Entrepreneurial Success Secrets Live for resume and career professionals is designed for YOU.
Hi, I'm Laura DeCarlo. Fourteen years ago I created Career Directors International with a singular mission and vision:
I wanted to see resume writers and career coaches experiencing the same big career wins as the job-seeking clients they assisted!
You see I was tired of watching all of you work so tirelessly to make a difference and hear how your clients told you, "You saved the day… my marriage… my home… <insert superhero accomplishment>." Yet, you were still working nights and weekends, worrying about money, fretting over where the next client would come from, burning the midnight oil, skipping vacations, missing kid's events, and feeling forced to choose clients over continuous education. Your happy and successful clients went out the door to claim their $30K higher salary increases, their dream jobs, and their exciting new futures, but you were stuck in the hamster wheel struggling and stressed.
You might think I am being insensitive, but I am speaking from experience. I remember in my second year of business, having already won resume writing awards and earned certifications, watching my client with a 4-year Bachelor's degree and no practical experience go out with my resume and strategies to land a $150K cardiothoracic device sales position that he said he, "Could never have landed without me."
I had the marketing skill to get him in the door and position him for a 6-figure salary with no experience. Yet, I was making $15/hour (when I averaged it out across all the hours I was putting in).
Something was REALLY wrong with this picture!
So, I changed the game.
I'm not going to say it happened overnight (it happened mid-way through my third business year) or that I did it alone (I couldn't have done it that quickly or perhaps at all without guidance that came from a live event I attended). But at the 2.5 year point I was earning over six figures… and I never looked back.
In fact, I have found in this industry – an amazing industry with a soul, where you can make a difference while earning an incredible living – that I have been able to sustain this no matter the challenge (or goal). Consider what these opportunities could mean to your business:
- Not having to worry, wonder, stress, or get sick over where the next client or dollar was going to come from.
- Freeing yourself from the confusion and shiny object syndrome to figure out what your best next move is for building your business.
- Thriving despite economic market shifts and downturns.
- Offering profitable, time-freeing group programs in your dining room or basement (or virtually) instead of in a costly boardroom.
- Working from your bedroom or your bathtub (chronic illness like me, perhaps?), on the beach or lakeside (the lap of luxury), or just a cozy home office.
- Enjoying part-time hours or Fridays off, once your business is established, and still earning six-figures-plus.
- Turning all your dreaded administrative work and even website management tasks over to a talented VA while freeing up your time for those enjoyable and money-making projects you just can't seem to get to now.
- Landing a book deal and balancing writing it with managing a business (while having a life).
- Cultivating subcontractor relationships and partnerships to expand your business.
- Transitioning to your next big goal…seamlessly.
The above are all situations I have navigated — opportunities that could be in your life and with your business.
It is Possible to Be Truly Happy and Profitably Self-Employed!
See me at the right – I look really happy because I am really happy. It's because I get to be the person I was meant to be – loving what I do, embracing life, having fun, soaking in the learning, and making a big difference to others. Sure I'm human – I deal with chronic pain every day. I fight with my husband. I even throw tantrums (although these days they are really short lived!). But my joy in having a business on my terms and getting to do what I love and helping others to have that too is big enough to let me overcome the challenges and believe in infinite possibilities within my life.
That's what I am all about and it's what I 've made this conference all about – making a big difference by sharing my expertise and the secrets to my success, and connecting you with other experts who can help you make your business EVERYTHING you want it to be!
So, I'm inviting you to join me this October in Orlando, Florida to learn how to make your business soar with confidence and clarity. What we will do together will be really juicy, deep, and fun. Here's a little bit of what you can expect:
- Meet and make connections with amazing career leaders and incubators (newbies just starting out) from around the world – before, during, and after the event.
- Collaborate with a small team throughout the event to walk away with your own personal marketing message. Yes you will do this!

View a two minute session sneak peek video with Deb:
Part One – (Next-Gen LinkedIn): The Profile Goes Rogue: Take LinkedIn from Quasi-Resume to Brilliantly-Branded Portfolio!
Let's talk differentiation and innovation. Let's talk SEO. Let's talk digital handshake. Let's talk LinkedIn!
As career professionals, we all know that LinkedIn has become a "Gotta be there" Google-like imperative for our clients (and for us, too!). To paraphrase a famous phrase: If you're not on LinkedIn, do you exist?
As career professionals we know how to position clients to best effect on LinkedIn. That's what we do. That's what we're great at doing.
But, do we know how to position LinkedIn to best effect?
Join me to push the envelope and explore NextGen LinkedIn: LinkedIn as portfolio!
You'll learn:
- How to take LinkedIn beyond a resume, to a one-stop CareerComm portfolio.
- How to "Narrate, Educate, and Fascinate" your way to a magnetic summary.
- How to leverage brief, powerful content for the bottom-line-it-for-me folks.
- How to parallel it with big, powerful content for the tell-me-more/SEO-folks.
- How to transform 2,000 characters into 4,000 to 6,000 character mega-magnetism opportunities.
You'll leave knowing how to use every allowable character and space to create a profile that presents substantial SEO, while delivering a great read, and creating a powerful digital handshake.
If you're ready to push the LinkedIn envelope, I'm here to help you punch through it—for portfolios and profit!
Deb Dib is an unapologetic word-nerd (Words With Friends, anyone?), serial innovator of career communication techniques, and author (with William Arruda), of Ditch. Dare. Do! Personal Branding for Executives.
Like many in the careers field, Deb's professional life is defined by reinvention. Her 26-year trajectory started with part-time resume writing in 1989. Fast forward to 2015 and Deb now serves a niche of gutsy innovator-leaders—CEOs, execs, entrepreneurs, and colleagues—with career communications writing, master-level personal branding, curriculum development, and training.
Along the way, she helped found two leading career industry associations and was honored for "sustained, enduring, and innovative contribution" as the first recipient of Dick Bolles' Parachute Award. Her work and thought leadership have been featured in 30+ career books and major media including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes.com, and BusinessWeek.com.
Driven by a passion for possibilities, Deb creates and propels new concepts (even when being a pioneer scares the living daylights out of her!). If it will help her clients, business, and the industry, she's on it!
That's why she's reinventing again—training clients and colleagues in "So what? Make me care? Do it fast!" Next-gen CareerComm—and she's thrilled to be sharing her passion at CDI.
Next-Gen CareerComm for Cutting-Edge Writers and Coaches Part Two:
(Next-Gen Editing): Editing Gets Ruthless: Make Every Character Count with "Slash, Dash, and Trash!"
with Deb Dib, co-author of Ditch, Dare, Do: 3D Personal Branding for Executives (Trades Mark Press)
"So what? Make me care! Do it fast!"
That's next-generation communication; and as rude as that phrase may sound, it's here because the market commands it.
Dwindling attention spans, multi-tasking, ubiquitous social media, and information overload—our brains scream for clear, swift communication that cuts through the incoming and reads clean on a handheld screen.
That's why the most effective business and career communications are shrinking—fast!
Enter NextGen CareerComm—career communication innovation! From resumes and profiles, to elevator pitches and video scripts, its precision messaging and irresistible call to action speak to "bottom-line-it-for-me" decision makers and entices "tell-me-more" types, too.
If you're brave enough to get ruthless and kill content; you're gutsy enough to go NextGen. Join us! Explore the thrill of ruthless editing, share in a fun "live-lab" editing exercise, and learn:
- How the Why-Buy-ROI is the key to ruthless editing and irresistible content.
- How to separate essential, from important, from everything else
- How to "slash, dash, and trash" a path to precision writing
- How to "tweet" your way to powerful "proof-point" bullets
- How to craft a 2-line "stats snapshot" from a paragraph of "responsible for"
As career communication experts, we serve our clients best when we let go of aging techniques and embrace innovations that make sense.
So let's get going and get ruthless!
Lunch and Learn with the Presenters
A favorite event among CDI conference attendees, this lunch provides the chance for you to lunch with the presenter of your choice (first-come-first-available) for a deeper topic discussion.
Check-in and Door Prizes
From Overwhelmed to Outstanding: Using Social Media to Create a Bankable Online Presence
with Tai Goodwin of Bankable Brilliance University
View a 2.5 minute session sneak peek video with Tai:
LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, Quora, SunZu, Reddit…Did you know there are over 300 social networking sites? Even for the most talented multi-tasker, that's a lot of sites to sort through.
If you are like many service-based entrepreneurs or solopreneurs, when it comes to social media you are probably wondering:
- Is it worth it?
- Where do I start?
- How much time should I spend online?
- How will I know it's working?
When used strategically, social networking can be a powerful relationship-building tool that connects you to peers, potential clients, and media opportunities. But without a plan for how to choose the right platforms and streamline your engagement, social media can be a huge time sink costing you money and clients.
In addition to answering the questions listed above, you'll leave this action-oriented session knowing:
- The seven ways to evaluate the effectiveness of your online presence
- How to determine the best social networking platforms for achieving your goals, and
- Three practical strategies you can implement to see results in the next 30 days.
"Less hype, more help." – That's the mantra of business strategist and award-winning instructional designer, Tai Goodwin.

Executives. For many of us they represent the pinnacle elite or simply proof that we have gone all the way up to service high-echelon clients successfully and that no prospect can intimidate us. Whether you have worked with executive clients for resume and career services yet, there is probably a high level of intimidation involved. They earn a lot, they wield power, they have minions to do their bidding. What can you expect? Will they be hard to manage? Will they act like bullies? Will they take control and leave you frustrated? Will you meet their high standards? Will they expect you to compromise? Or will they even balk at their prices even though you KNOW how much they make?
Eeew, sounds like a snake pit to avoid at all costs. But honestly it isn't and doesn't have to be one.
In this panel you will be in for a pleasant surprise. The presenters will answer questions but also follow an agenda to help you understand:
- Whether you are ready to take on executives, and what to do if not.
- The psychology of working effectively and successfully with executives.
- Why executives can become your best, and actually easiest, clients.
- Tips to maintaining control and promoting harmony with any difficult client.
- When an executive isn't for you, but how you can still capitalize on it.
- How to have fun with executive clients.
Here's to a lucrative and eye-opening panel session!
Power Q&A Session
The most rewarding part of the day that puts all you've learned into actionable place! In this powerful session you will have the chance to interact with the presenters, reflect on the session topics, share observations, and get answers to questions you may have thought of since the session.

The Power of the New to Enchant: Infographic Resumes
with Hannah Morgan, author of The Infographic Resume (McGraw Hill)
View a 2.5 minute session sneak peek video with Hannah:
Resumes can be information, noise, or top of mind magnets that excite employers to reach out. In a job search market that is bombarded by plain resumes, some job seekers (and their savvy resume writers) are capitalizing on a trend to visualize data. You've seen it in the use of charts, graphs, and color, but now it's time to imagine the Power of the Infographic Resume.
Infographics are the wave of the future and while not ready to replace traditional resumes, they can have a powerful place in your arsenal. What makes them such a value-added option?
- They convey complex information in a single visual snapshot.
- They can take a resume from vanilla to cotton candy rainbow (but in a good way).
- They go where people live – in images and visuals vs. heavy text.
- They have rarity value because they are different from the norm.
While not right for every client, the infographic resume holds immense value when used the right way. This session will lead you into the world of infographic resumes, providing you with a better understanding of:
- How to use the right infographic elements to showcase talent, career highlights, skills, and personal branding.
- How to use color, fonts, and more to convey personal brand.
- Free and for-fee resources to create powerful infographics.
- Pros and cons of infographic resumes.
- Who should use one and how (benefits and draw-backs).
Hannah is a speaker and author providing information and advice on how to stand out in today's online world. She passionately addresses the importance of online visibility, social networking and other fresh strategies for building an online reputation of excellence. Her experience in Human Resources, Outplacement Services, Workforce Development and Career Services equip her with a 360 degree perspective on job search topics. Hannah's newest book, The Infographic Resume, shows the many ways to create a visual resume that will get noticed. She also co-authored Social Networking for Business Success: How To Turn Your Ideas Into Income, which teaches entrepreneurs and small business owners how to launch and market their businesses.
Media and career professionals recognize Hannah as an advocate who influences job seekers to take control of their job search, and she provides resources to teach them how to be successful. Hannah has been quote in Money magazine, Life Hacker, and many other outlets. She also writes a weekly column for U.S. News & World Report.

Are You Ready to Make a Big Sea Change?: Tackling the Next Phase of Your Success
with Pat Schuler of Kick Butt Sales Training™ fame
View a 2.5 minute session sneak peek with Pat:
Being in business for yourself can feel like you are at sea – one minute the water is tranquil, the sun is shining, and the breeze is tender. But other times, it can feel like sheer terror – the waves are pounding, you're being thrown to and fro, and life-changing decisions need to be made in a split second.
But there is another place where only the bravest will ever sail – straight into a Sea Change.
A Sea Change is at its heart a deep and profound life change. To sail into it on the surface looks insane, not unlike early sailors and their certainty that they would sail off the edge of the earth. But modern navigators have learned that a Sea Change is really about choice. Instead of being tossed about on unruly seas, you get to pick the path to your greatest treasures.
What might the treasure of a stalwart entrepreneur be? It could involve:
- Building a new and successful business
- Transforming your current offerings into something new and amazing
- Preparing for retirement, semi-retirement, or your new adventure
- Moving half way across the world and not interrupting your business
- Making your business (or life) stronger than ever after a major health challenge.
Whether your Sea Change has been reaching out you as nothing more than a whisper in the wind or a hypnotic siren's song, you face the chance for adventure and opportunity. To ignore the call could mean being lost at sea, adrift.
In this hands-on session you will chart your course by navigating through a 5-step, rock solid Sea Change process that results in your ability to:
- Embrace change instead of being dragged into it kicking and screaming.
- Quell all the drama and turbulence that often accompany change.
- Align your head, heart, and guts in commitment to the change.
- Move forward powerfully instead of coasting the seas and missing your wave.
- Leverage the Sea Change methodology for both client coaching and business goals.
Not one more boring lecture on what you SHOULD be doing. Come ready with a change you yearn to make real. Your take away is a cartographer's dream: a map of your strategy and the completed five keys to sailing on calm seas through your Sea Change.

You are a Money Magnet: Using IP and MBM Techniques to Skyrocket to Profit
with Laura DeCarlo, CDI President and author
There are a million different reasons you may have initially gone into business for yourself, but at the end of the day most of us aren't gifted with a trust fund that lets us carry on indefinitely as if this were some type of unfunded hobby or labor of love! No doubt you are following LOTS of great advice to get living wage rates from your business, such as:
- Raise your prices to look expensive…
- Just do it and don't look back…
- Act as if and it will come…
- Just keep plugging as it takes time to get comfortable…
Does all this kind of make you think of lose-weight-fast gimmick diets? It works for a while and you even get some awesome momentum and business success. But, you are still faced with uncertainty, butterflies in the tummy, and exhaustion over the next price quote-turndown cycle. Any surprise that you feel dread around the whole money topic? In fact, for some this money dread leads them right back to giving up their freedom in the 9 to 5 rat race.
You absolutely do need to learn all of the core skills that should make your business successful. However, each of us faces unique challenges of which we are completely unaware – a total blindness if you will – that acts as a barrier to your ability to get the wages you deserve for your services. It's called your belief system.
Wait, don't run off yet!
This isn't woo-woo stuff. You could have any number of business consultants give you sterling advice on every aspect of your business. But would that advice cure you of the money dread? Ask yourself, "How many times have I seen this pattern in my life or business and not understood it?" If you are like most of us, it keeps popping up again and again.
What if a certain message you received many years ago is framing all your actions and choices, and limiting all your successes today? How powerful would it be if you were able to uncover the old limiting beliefs and replace them with a new power statement, and action steps for reframing? There would be no stopping you!
This is what I have seen working with entrepreneurs to create breakthroughs that once and for all smash through those barriers.
Here's what you will walk away with when you engage in this fabulous process:
- Breakthrough barriers regarding your money comfort and ease in accepting it into your business and life.
- Solid methodology that you can apply to any thoughts and beliefs that come up.
- Clearer understanding of beliefs and how you can reverse them to be active resonators of positive momentum in your life.
- New peace of mind regarding the future of your business.
Join me to up your money magnet Q! I can't wait to work with you!

with Susan Chritton, author of Personal Branding for Dummies (Wiley)
View a 1.5 minute session sneak peek video with Susan:
Personal branding creates the golden ticket for your client to achieve what he or she wants—to be noticed as a stand-out—to be the top-choice for the right opportunity.
And today, more than ever, the place to stand out is digital.
Once you understand how to avoid digital mistakes, infuse on-brand visuals, and develop the winning brand strategies that "golden ticket" digital branding requires, you will give your client the leading edge, and you'll give it to your business, too.
In Personal Branding Goes Digital, Susan Chritton, author of Personal Branding for Dummies, will show you how truly simple it is to elevate your client from the bog of mediocrity to top-tier digital status.
Using real examples of what clients should and should not do in digital branding, and working through a hands-on exercise, Susan will show you how to:
- Employ on-brand backgrounds, headshots, and clothing to make a difference (and to understand why they do!).
- Use virtual-world tools to take your client from looking "digital average" to presenting as "digital SPECIAL."
- Tell your client's authentic story, in a strengths-, value-, personality-based digital profile that attracts and excites the right audience.
- Transform OMG or LOL, to WOW!
You'll leave this session with a new ability to greatly enhance your client's digital dynamism by delivering exciting authenticity, branded visuals, and magnetic value—the stand-out keys to your client's coveted golden ticket.

My 1.2 was stolen, so I bought a 09' Specialized Hardrock for $250, sold it for $300, got a job, bought this 1.1 (thought it was a 1.2 because the seller only had one picture) for $350. Came with an unused camelback water bottle, trip 1 computer (yes, it's set up correctly), and look pedals. Things worked out so well and I am so excited. The guy bought it for a triathlon and never used it because they canceled it so he put it in climate controlled storage. It had 30ish miles when I bought it two days ago.
I get my full paycheck next week so I'll be buying a brand new Brooks B17 from a guy of CL, and I'll also buy a helmet. Next paycheck I'll buy shoes, another water bottle and maybe a quick-dry sport shirt instead of a jersey. It's fits so well! Ironically, the guy who sold it was literally the same weight, height and build as me, so it fits like a dream except for the narrow saddle.

Dear Images
I want to express my appreciation and many thanks to a super friendly and professional team. Michael was just the #1 host welcoming me to his salon as well as his beautiful wife.
Zoe was the young lady who colored my hair with highlights. I could not ask for more. Results were superb, can't wait for my roots to turn gray again so that I can go and get pampered again and again.
We just moved from the USA to Woking and feel very fortunate that I have found the IHD Images Salon in Woking to take care of my needs.
Sincerely: Elizabeth kanelli
Dear Mick (Images)
It's taken me a shamefully long time to get round to e mailing to thank your team for doing such a great job on all the hair styles for Miriam's wedding on the 14th. They did brilliantly with all the different hair types and we were all really pleased. The bridesmaids all kept saying how much they'd enjoyed the care and attention, and the chance to try out very different styles from their normal. I, also, found it great fun - Helen did my hair and everyone commented on how nice it was and how different from usual (probably because I never blow dry it properly). It stayed big until Mon - I didn't want to wash it before then as I was making the most of it. Please pass on our thanks - I'll be in soon to have my hair cut but that means leaving it even longer to say thank you, and I'm already ashamed of having taken 2 weeks - things seemed so disorganised that I'm only ust getting back to normal
With best wishes: Hilary
Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to express how impressed I was after a recent visit to your salon. I had booked an appointment with a Groupon voucher in early March prior to my wedding (held in Shrewsbury on Sunday 18th March 2012) as part of getting ready for the big day. I arrived early and to my surprise the team was ready for me and I was offered a drink and a seat almost immediately. A young lady was my stylist for the appointment, and I must say that this did concern me a little as I have a lot of hair and I have had experiences where stylists have been unable to cut it well as it is so thick at the back and have instead 'hacked' into it! On top of this I have recently had a baby and have had quite a lot of problems with my hair falling out etc... However, I can honestly say that since relocating from the North East of England two years ago that this is the best cut I have had in the area. Whilst this salon is by no means 'near' to my home I certainly wish to visit again in the future, and would like to thank the team for the excellent service given.
Warmest Wishes: Jill Pye
Just wanted to drop a nice THANK YOU to the lady that did my hair yesterday. It looks fabulous, and I am sure you will see me again!
Thanks : Agatha Stepnowska
Dear Helen and Hanri
Thankyou so much for all your hard work in helping to make Laura's wedding day so special.The hair was amazing and Laura and her two bridesmaids looked stunning. We had a wonderful day and even the sun shone.I would have no hestitation in recommending you to other friends and family, you both did abrilliant job.
With very best wishes: Janet Watson

Hi Images
Just wanted to say what a lovely morning I had at Images today. Can't thank you enough for the pampering. Louise transformed my hair and I had a lovely re-style & colour, followed by lovely head massage. Louise was very attentive & professional and with the warm and friendly staff and wonderful service I was in no rush to leave. Fantastic salon! Fantastic stylist/staff ! Fantastic special offer. Can't wait to re-book & wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Will be returning with my 4 year old too as they are child friendly with an Ipad in place as distraction/for back up.
Thanks again Images :) Anna Ludlow
I am Bev, I have been a regular client at Images for at least 6 years now. Have always had a pleasant experience. Think I am known for having the most drastic changes in the salon over those years!Nena who cuts and colours my hair is amazing! Always doing exactly what I want. Think I am now known as the lady with the 'funky red' hair! I had very long hair when I first visited and it's got shorter and shorter :)
also had my hair done for my wedding three years ago, a great service. And all the staff are very helpful, Mick is always very attentive and
I have been meaning to send a review for ages. As I have today had my fresh red/brown colour and cut I thought it was the perfect opportunity to do so.
Ps I love it!!
"Thanks for all your advice and help looking forward to the finished look."
"Many thanks to Tim for my new hair do, everyone loves it."
"Thank you Nena. It was so nice of you to do my hair so beautifully. I am very pleased. The mix of 3 colours is so unusual for me and I love it. I will be back and recommend my friends to visit too. Thank you Sandra Docwra."
"I felt very comfortable and at ease with my stylist Nena and was very pleased with the finished result. Thankyou"

"Lovely salon, great customer service and an all round excellent service provided by polite, friendly, knowledgeable staff. I would definitely recommend to others."
"Really pleased with colour and cut."
"The young South African lady works amazing. Thanks."
"I had a lovely girl called Jasmine do my hair and I let her choose the colour which turned out perfect for me. She was also very smartly dressed and her own hair looked lovely which is a real bonus for me as a lot of the time I find when I visit certain hairdressers that their hair is a mess. Will definitely go back and I have recommended it to my daughter who has booked an appointment."
"They were very helpful, my daughters hair needed a lot of attention and they were very accommodating."

Hi all, I found this forum by chance just googling Lincoln Imp and found an article about them, I got mine years ago a a teenager and still have it much to my children's disgust. I'll be honest I was supposed to be helping my wife check out specs for a new bike, but I was bored while she was looking other things up on the web.
About me: As a teenager got into cycling, not racing, just the opportunity to be independent, and that has pretty much remained, but university then family life sort of restricted opportunities, time moves on children grow and the chance to get out on a bike becomes much easier.
I have been known to strip down a bottom bracket in a car park in Jedburgh, because there was a problem with it and rebuild it with gun grease because it was all we could get ( no bike shop) and we had to get to a specific place by bike that evening.
Dreams: have this silly idea of when I retire going for a very long bike ride, round the world maybe, well we can always dream!
Bikes: 1961 Elswick Lincoln Imp, unknown age Dayton Elite, 2003 Ridgeback Bullit

|Somaliland: The Egal Airport Runway and What is Wrong
|Sunday, 15 September 2013 18:14
Somalilandsun – a Diaspora Lander and a certified airline Transport pilot and instructor Captain Mohamed Ahmed Omar shares his thoughts on the new Runway at Egal airport while offering comparisons with those from neigbouring countries
Hargeisa Airport And Its Runway Who To Blame This Fiasco
By Captain Mohamed Ahmed Omar Airline Transport Pilot
Let me share my thoughts concerning about Hargeisa airport & Ethiopian Airlines. According to IATA, ICAO & the International Air Law, Safety & security of the airplane & its passengers are the responsibility of the airplane operator which is Ethiopian Airlines.
According to that same law the responsibility safety & security of that airport falls on the shoulder of the airport operator, which is the government of Somaliland
The issue in here is that, the runway of Hargeisa airport is little short for a jet aircraft loaded with full passenger & lot of fuel in order to reach its destination also there is no fence or barrier to ward off intruders or people intend to do harm to Somaliland & this part our government has failed badly & was shortcoming.
It's standard in the world when construction is to be done in airport, it should be awarded to a contractor by bidding and that contract must be accredited & very well experienced in construction of airport & Runways also that company must pass a back ground check & must show prove on previous work that it has completed. Our government did not do that & was saying the contractor is international Chinese company & that is far from the truth and it is dishonest.
As per the international civil Aviation organization & the aircraft manufacturers who agreed to use set of data that to be based the performance & the capabilities of airplane & its called International Standard Atmosphere Pressure. (29.92 inches of mercury & 15° C at sea level). However, only and rarely will the airplane actually operate under conditions that approximate standard atmosphere. Any increase in temperature or altitude means a decrease in the aircraft's optimum performance. As we know Hargeisa airport is 4420Feet above sea level. The high elevation above sea-level causes the Air density to decreases with the increase of the temperature. Furthermore, Warm air is less dense than cold air because there are fewer air molecules in a given volume of warm air than in the same volume of cooler air.
As a result, on a hot day, an airplane will require more Runway to take off, will have a poor rate of climb and a faster approach for landing and will experience a longer landing roll, the combination of high temperature, high elevation, weight of the aircraft, & the condition of the runway produces a situation that aerodynamically reduces drastically the performance of the airplane & this part the government the Civil Aviation Authority has failed to consider into account when they were planning the renovation of the Hargeisa airport & the runway
The Somaliland government & the Ministry Civil Aviation Authority, should have known that any aircraft with two engine or more, requires to accelerate to a specific speed for takeoff, and then in case of an engine failure, be able to stop safely on that runway, if that length to stop is not available, then this can be disastrous for airplane that does not have adequate Runway, also It's inconceivable from the Civil Aviation Authority to tell the Airlines to carry Less fuel , less cargo & to operate to Hargeisa such request is dangerous, costly & not profitable to the airlines, These & the lacking of strong security system such as concrete barrier with a strong fence line along the airfield are some of the risk factors that Airline operators (companies) and pilots have to assess in order to make informed decision
Don't blame Ethiopian Airlines for not flying into Hargeisa airport, the Ethiopian airlines is commercial & private company (not government own) & they have every right to choose which country or airport they see fit for their operations, the only option open for Somaliland government & Civil Aviation Authority is to negotiate and not force any other company if they decide not to operate to Hargeisa airport. While this current government is trying hard to do good things, first it must eliminate the corrupt individual & the corruption that tarnished its image. The Somaliland government & the Civil Aviation Authority must take the responsibility of all the mistakes & the Fiasco at Hargeisa Airport, & they should implement immediate correction
Improving the situation at Hargeisa Airport
The current available runway of 2.446 km & its pot-holed has been patched Hargeisa airport needs to be competitive with the rest of the neighboring airports it must have longer Runway, with the runway marking, lighting & the standard ICAO runway sign. For safety & security it must have concrete Barrier, Trenches & fence in all the parameter of the field. The length of the runway must be extended from 2.4 KM to 3.1 or 3.2 KM which equals to approximately 10,560 feet. That will make it safer & more suitable for a large passenger jet aircraft for day or night flights in hot or cold climate to operate in Hargeisa airport. Once this is done Egal International Airport can compete with the East African airports (Insha Allah).
Comparison Hargeisa Airport to the Neighboring airports
Runway length 13583 feet =4.14KM
Width 164 feet = 50Meter
Airport Elevation 30 feet above sea level
Hargeisa Airport
Runway length 8005 feet =2.4KM
Width 148 feet = 45Meter
Airport Elevation 4420 feet above sea level
Runway length 10335 feet = 3.1KM
Width 148 feet = 45 METER
Airport Elevation 581 feet above sea level
Addis Ababa
Runway length 12467 feet = 3.8KM
Width 148 feet = 45 METER
Airport Elevation 7656 feet above sea level
Runway length 10335 feet =3.1KM
Width 150 feet = 46 METER
Airport Elevation 13 feet above sea level
Runway length 12139 feet = 3.7KM
Width 164 feet = 50 METER
Airport Elevation 49 feet above sea level
Mohamed Ahmed Omar
Airline Transport Pilot
Certified Flight Instructor Airplane
Thank You Mohamed for the concise review and comparison.
In the air as the airplane climbs up, the temperature decreases & above 24000feet the temperature on the negative values (minus)
As an insider with the contractor i can assure there is nothing fake or imaginary about the Chinese company.
The HGA0nway has not only been patched but two layers of ashpalt have been paved. The contract with the government was for paving the 2440m0nway, taxiway, and turning pad. The 10,000 m^2 parking area or apron was repaved by the contractor free of charge. All the0nway markings have been completed. Only the security fence remains in production as we speak.
The length of the0nway is not the fault of the contractor.
There have been promises made by Kuwait fund to pay for extension of the0nway.
Also in defense of the Ministry, the did hire a foreign consultant to write up the whole deal. To only strengthen the existing0nway and not extend it was the recommendation of consultant to my understanding. Basically they listened to the technical advice of NARCO0ICT. That was always the assumption on our side, i can't be %100 about it.
I beg the difference, everyone in Somaliland are aware who was the contractor is, I know Chinese & what they look like. Omani is not a Chinese but one of the family & we know how he ended up this sweet deal
As you said the0nway has been patched & Paved with two layer of asphalt, & the contractor throw freebee for paving the Apron, let me tell you as insider myself there was nothing free
The whole deal is rotten Eggs , they wasted 4.5 million dollar & what to show not much
About the consultant, come on he was getting his cut $ 1 million, & for the defense of the aviation ministry they had known the airport0nway is way too short& they should have insisted to be extended
In conclusion the Hargeisa0nway and whatever pavement they did is not worth 4.5 Million
Omani is the sole agent for the Chinese company in Somaliland. The deal was given to the contractor because on their financial soundness, experience, and ability to procure the proper equipment and human resources. A lesser contractor might have gone ban0pt in the middle of operations and the0nway would have been left half complete.
Like i said the contractor completed ALL asphalt works stipulated in the contract and the apron which wasn't included in the contract but was done in a show of good will by the contractor. You can check the tender and see if the parking area or apron was included or not in the contract price. You don't have to be an insider to know this.
You accuse ICT0NARCO of co0ption without showing any evidence, just because you don't like what they said. These international consultancy firm are 0sted by Kuwait fund to supervise the work of both HGA and BBO projects.
I see you have a problem with the price of the contract. If so please give a better estimation on how much it would cost to do that project based on your own studies and findings. Since you are an insider you should break it down for us with details about materials costs, machinery, etc.
I look forward to seeing how you get a number less than 4.4 million for the same works.
Not everybody in here is aviation expert, & every citizen of Somaliland has a God given rights to speak & criticize his government when he0she see fit,I see that you have knowledge about aviation & whole lot of information about Hargeisa airport, & that is very good, I want you the explain to me & the rest of Somaliland citizen without dismissing anyone who writes positive or negative about the contractor or the government
what is the pavement Classification number of Hargeisa airport please give as the numbers for the Apron & for the0nway as per ICAO Annex 14 Aerodrome design .( ACN-PCN) Aircraft classification Number – Pavement Classification Number, please educate us will the Apron (parking ). Taxiway & the0nway in Hargeisa airport is utilized as taxiway. Can it support Boeing 737-800 series with Maximum Takeoff weight? give us precise data of pavement classification

Questions?Question me about my faithQuestions? by rebelx
and my answer is love
Question me about my love
and my answer is life
Question me about my life
and my answer is my faith
'Til DeathHere I thought you were waiting'Til Death by rebelx
at the gates of heaven
in world's end
So kiss me
if it's the last
taste of your toxic lips
so red from my blood
glaring at the sunset
before we die
as the sky turns
brighter than a thousand suns
Collection: 'Tis The Season
'Tis The Season
Every year our minds and souls embrace a period of giving, a time when we think of others and spend time with family and friends. For many though there is no time off. They have to work or are on emergency standby to help those who have accidents.
Then there are those who have nothing to share, no money to buy gifts, who can only give the love in their hearts to others. Those are the greatest gifts.
We all know someone that could do with some love this season. Knock on a door or make a phone call, share a meal or just make someone a cup of tea and listen to their stories. We will all benefit from giving others a little of our time.

Re: [FraDiavolo] Percoco, Masci, DelBono in Terracina
Expand Messages
- Hi Marie,
Thanks for answering my note. You're right, we may be related. My grandmother's (Emilia) maiden name was Masci. My grandfather's mother's maiden name was Masci and my aunt Mary (Percoco) married Angelo Masci. My Percoco family were Ubaldo (Frank on the 1930 census) Percoco (grandfather), Emilia Masci (grandmother), sons Angelo and Silvino, and daughters Mary and Esther (my mother).
On the 1930 census, my grandparents lived in Somerville at 13 Princeton Street. There was another family in the same house, Nicholas (38), wife Rita (29 or 39, can't tell), son Ralph (8 1/2) and daughter Gilda (3 1/2) Masci. When my grandparents came from Italy they came to Ellis Island in 1920 on the Rochambeau from Le Havre France. My grandfather was 23 and my grandmother was 22. It says on the Ellis Island records that their final destination was to their cousin's house - Nicola Masci (I think that is Nicholas) and they lived at 22 Harding Street, East Cambridge.
My grandmother has a younger brother named Robert Masci who came to the states on the Andrea Doria in 1955 (the ship sunk on it's way back to Italy!) with his family. He lives on Arlington Street in Somerville still. I am going to get in touch with my mother's cousin who is my age, soon. My grandparents mentioned that they had family in Italy, but for some reason they never wanted to get in touch with them. I'm trying to get information from my Aunt Mary and Uncle Angelo, but they don't remember very much (my aunt has dimentia). My mom passed away in 2003.
My aunt Mary's husband Angelo, I believe (I have to verify it with him), his family was on Gore Street in 1930 census, but they lived in Medford when I was growing up.
Does any of this match up to your family? The name Vellucci sounds familiar to me. I don't know what it is about Terracina, but I'm hitting some brick walls too. I was able to do a search of the phone books in Terracina and there are only 70 listings for Percoco and 72 for Masci. Maybe between the two of us we can figure it out! I am definetly having better luck with the Percoco side than with my father's side of the family - Knight - originally from Richmond, VA.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hey, my maternal grandmother was a Sodi, but her mother was a Masci, and, yes, she was from Terracina! Her name was Amalia Sodi! I am not sure which year she arrived here but probably around 1905 and my aunt tells me she arrived in Boston, not New York.
She married my grandfather Guiseppe Saccoccio from Itri.
I have much trouble tracing both, even in the federal census, since the surnames are mispelled many times. In fact, when translated from the handwritten passenger lists, I recognize some of her siblings and relatives listed as "Lodi," not "Sodi." The "S" was beautifully written but very ornate and could have easily been transcribed as "L."
Perhaps we are related on the Masci side. I believe her first cousin was a Masci and married a Vellucci, here, in Cambridge.
I bet we are related. In fact, I have been to Terracina and remember taking a photo in front of a fish store called Percoco's!! We took the photo because there are Percoco's here in Cambridge.
I bet we are related.

text: brinastarThreads: 1Posts: 2Author: Sabrina Rodríguez Apr 18, 2011 #1Please, if anyone could read and correct my mistakes, I would be very thankful.Describe a person you know.Claudia is my cousin and also my best friend. She is single but she has a boyfriend. As she is a PE teacher, she likes working outdoors with people of all ages. On weekdays she gets up very early in the morning and works until eleven o'clock in the evening so she is not able to spend much time with her family and friends. On weekends she travels as much as she can, considering she likes going to original places and loves new experiences. She loves shopping and she buys whatever catches her eye. Her house is full of electric appliances and her wardrobe is full of clothes she does not need. Being so peace-loving, Claudia does not like conflict and tries to avoid any type of it. My cousin, who is especially loyal to her internal value systems, believes that family is extremely important and so she dedicates all her spare time to them. Friends are also central in her life and this is shown in her reliableness and faithfulness. A strong sense of responsibility and duty guides her behaviour towards people in need. Although she has all these many qualities, her obstinacy and childish reactions make her rather immature. For example, her obsessive jealousy of her boyfriend leads to real fights in front of other people. For Claudia, the keys to success are hard work, honesty and perseverance. That is why she is working her fingers to the bone to buy a house and start her own business. Travelling to the United States to take an advance course in dancing and aerobics is also a short-term goal in her life as well as preparing to get married and start a family. Undoubtedly my cousin is an extraordinarily unique person that is why I love her.

2006 Dodge Ram • 87,000 miles
2006 - Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 - I was driving, hit a bump, and now my truck sounds rough when I accelerate, and it's harder to accelerate. It sounds like trucks with loud modified exhaust systems. It's coming from the middle, underneath the vehicle. It still runs rough when the vehicle is in park and neutral. There is no odd noises while idling.

February 13, 2012.
Check to make sure there was no damage to the exhaust system. Also, if all looks good, take a rubber mallet and tap on the system to see if there are any loose components inside the system such as the catalytic converter.

were up over 300-percent year-over-year from Q1 2007, but new data from NPD has found that sales of BD players -- Sony's PlayStation 3 notwithstanding -- sunk a staggering 40-percent from January to February in the US. Furthermore, sales only grew 2-percent from February to March. Of course, these figures tie in nicely with ABI Research's take that Blu-ray wouldn't "dominate" the market until players broke the magical $200 price point (and included Profile 2.0), and it also makes sense that the PS3 would lead the sector until 2013 if things continue at this rate. According to NPD's Ross Rubin, an "overwhelming majority [of surveyed consumers] said they weren't investing in a new next-generation player because their old DVD player worked well and next-gen players were too expensive." That pretty much sums it up, now doesn't it?

Much more than an Internet Café, A place to catch up on local news, seating provided to enjoy a refreshment and have a chat. Help with a computer, mailing, or any other difficulties. The management and staff are really very helpful.
Have been using the Internet here for years. Staff are very helpful and the tarrif reasonable if you have a Spanish mobile and top here then you "earn"free internet minutes as a bonus! Great cheap place for skyping or printing your boarding pass
There are two internet cafes near each other and both gave great service when we had to print out our boarding passes. Helpful staff. (Had to do it a second time in a real rush when we had our Ryanair flight cancelled , so very useful in a crisis) How they break even is beyond me as so inexpensive.
The internet and the environment was good, but the service was very expensive. I went to print off my boarding pass, I only have to need 10 minute for it. we won´t go again.
Very good place to use the internet. Very friendly and helpful staff and at 1.90 euro's and hour very cheap.If you don't use all your time up they even encourage you to come back next day and use their computers.
Went in today to download and print some documents. What a mess, their computers don't recognise Word and made a complete hash of my documents!
All we wanted to do is print off a car rental booking, they guy made us pay for internet acces even though we had our booking on a flash drive, would never use them again
Sentimos que no este satisfecho. Los precios de nuestro Internet Café son bajos, y para imprimir un pasaje de avión...
Staff very friendly and very willing to help you, well worth a visit if you need to catch up with emails and things like that
We used this internet cafe for Emails and phone calls while in Nerja, friendly and helpful staff decent equipment and cheap.
The only downside is it is very hot inside the cafe even with fans.
Folks very helpful. Only place in Andulusa that I was able to purchase more minutes on my Happy Mobile card for calls from Spain in Spain and to the U.S.. Lady was so friendly and I don't have the correct email so I wish they would post an email address on their website. Also, the card I have for them...
