> Savings
Talking to your parents about their estate
plans By
Fiona Wagner Bankrate.com
all know that we will die someday, but that doesn't always make writing a will
high on our to-do lists. Nor does it make talking to our parents about their estate
plans any easier. But what's worse -- having a difficult conversation now or dealing
with resentment, regret and even litigation because of a parent's poorly executed
estate plan?
According to a recent Investors
Group poll, only 27 percent of Canadians under age 45 have talked with their
aging parents about their estate plans. Almost half (43 percent) haven't discussed
funeral plans either.
This reticence is hardly surprising.
"Canadians are somewhat reluctant to talk with their parents about finances,"
says Duane Snow, an estate planning consultant with Assante Estate & Insurance
Services. "Most people would say, 'I'm going to get something from my parents
and for me to say, if you structure your estate this way, I'll get $400,000 more,
it looks like I'm being greedy.'"
Fear of seeming greedy isn't the
only inhibition. "Sometimes adult children are hesitant to
bring up the topic because they aren't sure if it will upset the
parent," says Debbie Ammeter, vice-president of advanced financial
planning at Investors Group in Winnipeg. "But discussing these
issues can give your parents some peace of mind when they realize
there are ways to set-out instructions and take care of things in
Consequences of keeping
quietThere's more at stake than preserving family harmony. Sixty percent
of Canadians believe they will inherit some money from their parents, and 41 percent
believe it will form some part of their retirement savings. But sadly, too many
families are hit with unpleasant surprises because a parent died without a comprehensive
estate plan.
Here are just four examples of what can happen:
Canadians live longer, the chance of them becoming incapable before their death
is greater," says Yach. "It's critically important that the POA be up
to date so that someone is able to manage your property and/or make personal care
decisions for you if you become incapacitated."
the talkThese situations can easily be avoided by talking openly with
your parents before disaster strikes. "It's better to have the conversation
now rather than later," says Yach. She suggests three ways to broach the
1. With respect"You
have to respect the fact that your parents are capable adults and that decisions
about how their estate is to be distributed are theirs to make," she says.
"You can't purport to make decisions for them. All you can do is alert them
to the risks of not doing it." If you don't treat your parents with the respect
they deserve, they can misconstrue your intentions.
With careIt's important to ensure your parents speak to the right professional,
be it a lawyer, accountant or financial planner. Going to the local office supply
store and buying a do-it-yourself kit might put a will in place, but badly worded
intentions or missing provisions can result in heated family feuds and complicated
legal battles over who gets the family silver or what to do with the family business.
you're a financial planner, resist the urge to counsel your parents on their affairs.
"You've got to have some kind of a skill set," says Snow. "Most
people are going to approach their parents and say what? Do they really understand
the probate process? What the executor does? The tax consequences of the parents'
historical investment strategies? It's like me advising my neighbour on his plumbing."
With distanceYach advises her clients and friends to help put their
parents in touch with the appropriate professionals and then stay out of the process.
Don't give instructions to the lawyer, don't accompany your parents to meetings
and don't attend the execution of the will. "Respect your parents' privacy
and maintain a measure of distance," she says.
always a risk of litigation when surviving siblings or beneficiaries don't feel
they are being treated equally or fairly. "You don't want there to be any
suggestion after your parents' death that you somehow influenced them unduly into
benefiting you."

Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto started Tanoto Foundation in 1981 to support poverty alleviation efforts. Both Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto believe that everyone has the same right to have adequate and productive life and education is the key to support that right. However, the provision of education can't be carried out successfully if it is not supported by other factors such as community empowerment and enhancement of quality of lives. Through empowerment, individual, household, and community economic potential is maximized. The efforts to improve education and empower people are also supported by development of infrastructure and facilities so community members can further enhance the quality of their lives.
To support the education sector, Tanoto Foundation implements School Improvement Program in more than 200 elementary schools in Riau, Jambi, and North Sumatra. Through coordination and collaboration with Ministry of Education and Culture at the national level and Education Office at provincial and district levels, this Program is carried out by involving local community and establishing sustainable models. Furthermore, the Program consists of six components which include development of schools that are safe, healthy, and environment-friendly, support for libraries establishment, development of model schools, support for early childhood development center, capacity building efforts for teachers, and establishment of Education Forum.
Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto believe that education continuity is very important in supporting one's effort to realize his or her full potential. Based on this belief, one of Tanoto Foundation's programs is focused on enabling qualified students from all types of background to receive scholarships. These programs include National Champion and Regional Champion Scholarship where Tanoto Foundation works with nine and 28 universities, respectively. Tanoto Foundation also provides scholarships for teachers from remote areas so they could have access to higher education and subsequently improve the quality of education for students in their schools. Tanoto Foundation also collaborates with PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper to provide scholarships for students to attend Paper and Pulp Technology Academy in Bandung, West Java. Meanwhile, junior secondary students in North Sumatra are also supported. Finally, as a form of support of Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto for the members of Royal Golden Eagle big family, Sayap Garuda Scholarship is available for the children of the employees.
Based on the experience of Sukanto Tanoto as a successful entrepreneur, Tanoto Foundation also carries out Tanoto Entrepreneurship Series regularly. Working with University of Indonesia Faculty of Economics Graduate Program in Management, these events are held to support development of entrepreneurships in Indonesia.
As for support for improvement of higher education quality, Tanoto Foundation has established a collaboration with The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania that enables studies and researches on ASEAN, with particular focus on Indonesia to be carried out. In addition, Tanoto Professorship Award and Tanoto Student Research Award are available for researches that are beneficial for communities. Meanwhile, the provision of supporting infrastructure and facilities for higher education is done through collaboration with Prasetya Mulya Business School (Tanoto Library,) PPM Manajemen (Tanoto Library,) Gadjah Mada University (Tanoto Floor,) Bogor Agriculture Institute (Tanoto Forestry Information Center,) and North Sumatra University (Auditorium and Student Center).
Complementary to the effort to improve quality of education, Sukanto Tanoto and Tinah Bingei Tanoto also believe that the effort to empower the community and enhance their quality of lives is also required to support poverty alleviation.
Empowerment program is carried out together with national and local NGOs and corporate partners. The activities with corporate partners include Integrated Farming System and support for small and medium enterprises, vocational training, and plasma farmers' capacity building.
For enhancement of quality of lives, Tanoto Foundation and its partners work together to support development and improvement of access to clean water and electricity, and health facilities. In times of natural disasters such as the ones in Aceh and North Sumatra, various types of assistance were provided through the rapid disaster response program.
"We have to look after our people. That does not mean only our employees. It includes the community." – Sukanto Tanoto, Founder of Tanoto Foundation.
Tanoto Entrepreneurship Series
Latest Events:
1) Susi Pudjiastuti – Founder and Owner Susi Air & Indonesia Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
2) Irwan Hidayat – President Director of PT. Sido Muncul
Anderson Tanoto – Trustee of Tanoto Foundation
Anderson Tanoto said during the Tanoto Entrepreneurship Series, "My father never had the chance to continue his education to the university level. This was similar to the experience of Ibu Susi and Bapak Irwan. However, this did not stop them from working very hard and overcoming different obstacles. As we know, they are very successful now. This is proof that success can be achieved by anyone, without exception."

"Until PPP came along, I would have said that I am not a huge chicken fan. I would have said that I prefer to cook with it and use it IN dishes instead of serving and eating just plain roasted chicken. But with the PPPbirds, I found myself actually craving simple, plain roasted chicken. Hot, cold, left over, you name it – I love it. The flavor and texture is truly different from that of other chicken."
"Simply fabulous chickens. A life-changing poultry experience!"

One of the major features of the Theros block Hero's Path events has been the hero cards, meant to be used against the Challenge Decks at the Game Day for each set. Theros got an impressive seven of them to choose from; Born of the Gods will have the same, and five of them were revealed on MTGSalvation today by Rumor Mill user SkyShield21:
The General
Hero (Special)
Exile The General: Creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn. Untap them.
The Explorer
Hero (Special)
You may play an additional land on each of your turns.
The Savant
Hero (Special)
Exile The Savant: Tap all creatures your opponents control. Those creatures don't untap during their controllers' next untap steps.
The Tyrant
Hero (Special)
Exile The Tyrant: Creatures your opponents control get -1/-1 until end of turn.
The Vanquisher
Hero (Special)
Your starting hand size is increased by 1.
Your maximum hand size is increased by 1.
Of these, The General, The Savant, and The Tyrant are apparently from prerelease packs, The Explorer is the Launch Weekend puzzle reward, and The Vanquisher is the Game Day hero. The fact that The Savant taps down opposing armies implies that the Horde of Minotaurs will in fact attack and block like ordinary Magic creatures, though exactly how the Challenge Deck will work this time around remains to be seen.
It seems as though all of the color-associated prerelease heroes will have "Exile this:" effects, much stronger than the tap abilities of the Theros heroes but only usable once per game. The red-associated one might be targeted direct damage; and the green could be artifact or enchantment destruction, assuming the Challenge Deck contains any, or else creature token production.

Stay connected with on-the-go consumers.
VML, a Kansas City ad agency with 700 employees, had a banner year in 2009 winning such large clients as Gatorade, The Hershey Co. and Waste Management. As reported this morning in the Kansas City Business Journal, "VML's performance in 2009 evolved, in part, from a growing shift in marketing spending toward digital branding."
While you may not have the budget to work with such a large agency, you can take a cue from what VML is doing so successfully. Interactive marketing is among the trends to not only watch, but to be a part of, in 2010 to boost your marketing effectiveness and to wisely spend your budget. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Share and share alike. Find a couple of blogs or news outlets focused on your industry. Submit content and posts relevant to discussions and insert an RSS feed on your website so your visitors have something new to read and will be interested to return to time and time again.
Update your email strategy. If you still use an e-newsletter format, ask your readers what they are interested in, how often they want to hear from you, and what subjects they would like you to talk about. Segment your audiences using this information and create campaigns targeted to those customers' wants and needs.
Consider the economy. Consumers are more budget-conscious than ever today and interested in savings and finding good deals. Have you updated your website and paid search ads to cash in on this trend? Adding phrases like "lowest price," "meet or beat competitors in pricing," or "best deal for your money" to your pay-per-click ads and in your website copy for search engine optimization will help more people find you on the major search engines.
Get social. You might not have all of the answers to how to use social media to benefit your business in the best way, but guess what? No one does. It is such a new, emerging marketplace that you are only hurting yourself by not diving in. If you don't start working in the social media realm soon, you might find yourself chasing to catch up to your competitors later. Here are a few ways some sites can be useful:
- LinkedIn is invaluable in building and maintaining good B2B relationships and can open doors to new partnerships or opportunities through the community forums you can join.
- Facebook can let you engage with customers in an invitation-only setting. Try offering discounts or specials to fans of your page.
- Twitter is a useful way to see how other people reference your company and can help you spot trends that you can use to your advantage in the marketplace.

Cybernetic Part
Hello, i'm a huge Starwars fan, but i'm not into the MOD-buisness, it's to hard for me. I had an idea for a new equip-slot: Cybernetic part.
In al the Starwars series and books, cybernetic parts have a huge role. Some examples: Drath Vader had state-of-the-art parts, as seen in his fighting style. He bases and slashes harder, mainly becasue he isn't limited to muscle power anymore. Also, he has a great condition. He slaughtered hundreds of Jedi after ep 3, and had the upper hand because of his implants. Also, Luke could smash harder because of him cyber-hand. And at last, in episode 1 are creaturs with cybernetic eye-enhancers, so they can monitor the computers better.
Wouldn't it be a cool mod idea? Just another equip slot where you can add 1 cyber-part. Legs for extra dexterneity, hands for extra strenght, etc. The effects don't have to be visible, becasue the Robes an armor cover the whole body. Just an extra equip slot, and some parts. If anyone coul give me feedback, please do, because i know nothing about modding TSL. I'm a :newbie:
Oh, come on. That's impossible to do. Stuff like equipment slots are hardcoded into the game, and can't be modded.
The closest thing you could do is reskin/remodel some characters to give them a mechanical limb (like Bao-Dur), but it wouldn't do anything.
not everyone is as all-knowing as you ED ;)
ED is right. Can't be done due to the "dirty word" hardcoded.. shhh.. don't say it too loud or the game gets all glitchy... :xp: hehehe..
Welcome to the Forums! :waive1:
Thanks for the replies :)
I never knew that some parts where h-a-r-d-c-o-d-e-d *brrr*.....
Now i know....thanks, m8

Under the heading of do-not-try-this-on-your-next-cruise, six passengers were booted off Carnival Victory Sunday because they brought bees onboard. The passengers, who apparently tipped off security staffers that something unusual was occurring because they kept boarding and exiting the ship while she was in the embarkation process in Miami, were found with 160 bees in bottles. According to wire reports they claimed they were going to use the bees for medicinal reasons.
The ship, which was slated to sail a weeklong Western Caribbean roundtrip out of Miami, delayed its departure for three hours while officials conducted further investigations. Ultimately, they were removed from the cruise ship.
At this point, Carnival continues to conduct an investigation, along with the National Guard, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and state agriculture officials.
Ironically, this is the second cruise ship "bee" incident in less than six months. Last summer on Grand Princess, a batch of killer bees was found on the ship's outdoor basketball court when it returned to its Ft. Lauderdale home port. There is no proof, however, that they were brought onboard by passengers.

Could it be done using the same shortcut as in the previous question (⌘ + ⇧ + L)? Say, by adding some reg-exp for "http://"?

I enjoy staying here, value for money, the set back is that aircon is very noisy and cannot adjust the level.
beautiful room
we were upgraded to a bigger suit which was huge, very pretty, with amazing view of the city and beautiful wooden floor.
however, some of the facilities were a bit run down, like the toilet which wouldn't flush, or the sink that was impossible to shut and fill with water, or the headboard of the bed that was torn, but the beauty of the room, with its many furniture really made up for this small inconvenience.

Brooklyn bore
"You can't go home again," and other lessons you probably already knew
By Jenny Lower 05/24/2012
One of the easiest but most fatal mistakes a production can make is picking the wrong play. Donald Margulies' Brooklyn Boy doesn't look like the wrong play. After all, Margulies won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Dinner with Friends about marital bliss gone awry.
But the zeitgeist Margulies tapped with his former script is sorely missing from Boy, now playing at the Ojai Art Center. Steve Grumette's low-key production proceeds like an afternoon ramble through the borough — scenic, with a few highlights here and there, but too slow to get your heart racing and just a little bit tiring.
Eric Weiss (Buddy Wilds) is a literary novelist who has returned to Brooklyn to visit his dying father (Howard Leader). Having sloughed off his Jewish roots years ago, he's now on a tour to promote his third book, a semi-autobiographical account of his boyhood. The play unfolds as a series of vignettes over four days spent in Brooklyn, where Weiss reconnects with an old friend and the woman who is divorcing him, and in Los Angeles, where Weiss travels for a book signing and meets with a slick Hollywood producer.
These encounters are meant to illustrate the competing poles of our hero's life — professional versus personal, past versus present — but the episodic, dialogue-driven structure prevents the plot from building any real momentum. The secondary characters, and even Weiss himself, remain broad sketches of familiar stereotypes rather than flesh-and-blood people we can believe in: the Tiger Beat coverboy; the dorky childhood friend; the bitter ex-wife; the gruff, hard-to-please father. At its center is Weiss, ambling along toward predictable revelations with less introspection than you might expect from someone whose book just landed 11th place on the New York Times bestseller list.
The sluggish pace weighs on some otherwise fine performances. Wilds carries off the lead role with aplomb, looking every inch the urban sophisticate in his black T-shirt and charcoal sports coat. It's easy to underestimate him, until you see him share the stage with less accomplished actors. His assured manner and natural grace underscore how far Weiss has come from his childhood. But such a contained performance is best served by a hyperkinetic supporting cast. The production hits its high notes when Wilds plays straight man to more effusive castmates, as he does opposite John Medeiros as his friend Ira and, at times, Howard Leader as his father. As the through-line among stand-alone scenes, however, both Weiss and Wilds lack the vitality to carry the play.
Though Leader has some strong early moments as the crotchety elder Weiss, by his second appearance he loses both the accent and demeanor that make him so effective. Medeiros is the show's treasure as Ira, the friend conflicted by his choices to stay in Brooklyn, raise five kids and run his father's deli. Medeiros pulls off Ira's potent mix of schlubbiness and pathos so effectively that I didn't want his scenes to end. Also upping the energy and humor level is Kytriena Payseno as a 20-something "literary groupie" Weiss brings back to his hotel room, who longs only for a great story to tell her friends.
A final word on set design: Even excusing a modest budget, the sets share a dreary uniformity that weakens the story themes. The dingy color scheme works just fine for a Brooklyn hospital or cafeteria, but it's distracting and confusing when the setting is a sleek Hollywood office, a hip L.A. hotel, or even Weiss' own East Village apartment. We miss out on the sense of alienation he experiences in these unfamiliar surroundings, and so lose the significance of his journey back to himself.
Plays that read well on the page don't always lend themselves to production, and unfortunately that proves especially true here. Onstage, conversations about Brooklyn Boy hint at a rich coming-of-age novel packed with schoolyard humiliations, possible drug abuse and filial guilt. If only we could have seen some of these moments ourselves.
Brooklyn Boy, through June 17 at Ojai Art Center, 113 S. Montgomery St., Ojai. For reservations, 640-8797 or email@example.com.

I don't normally read nor do I normally care about reviews but I was somewhat disappointed with your review of BROOKLYN BOY. I suppose if one doesn't like the play to begin with, there's not much one can hope for but I do take issue with your commentary regarding Manny's demeanor in the second act.
Do you understand that the Manny is a figment of Rick'y imagination and that the character is what Ricky wished his father to be when he was alive rather than "the crotchety elder Weiss".
Manny didn't really exist except in Ricky's head. I will agree the accent was milder in act ll but that was done by design to show a "softer dad" than the one Ricky had to deal with in act l. But perhaps you're right, maybe accents shouldn't come and go. We'll find out Friday when the strong NY accent returns, (through Rickey's imagination).
john medieros is the best,,, skilled and a trained actor from the improv theatre,, I have enjoyed his work for a long time and wondered why he was in tiny town with that talent and not signed for major films or a series ,, this performance is a tribute to his talent as he carries the character all the way and then some,, hey holllywood ,, catch this man and use him as he a furture major player in the business called show business ,,
Dear Ms. Lower:
I totally disagree with each and every criticism that you've hurled at this excellent production. And I believe the play is a brilliantly written one, and emotionally moving. I don't know what your background in theater is, but at least in this case I believe your judgement of Margulies' writing is a rather shallow one. I thought the pacing was fine, and that all the actors rose to the occasion.

I have a (pretty old now) Radeon 4870 which I'm using in my windows 8 box. Its using the WDDM (1.1) drivers.
When I have a full screen app open on my primary monitor anything running on the secondary display lags badly. For example I cant play a game on my primary and watch a video on my secondary monitor. When running a non-fullscreen app on my primary there is no issue with my secondary.
Has anyone else had similar issues with WDDM/windows 8? Is this something that will be fixed by a graphics card upgrade?

The shadow chancellor drove off after hitting a car when he attempted a "five to seven-point turn" in a Labour club car park.
15:26, UK, Tuesday 05 August 2014
Ed Balls has escaped a driving ban but been hit with a £1,000 fine after hitting another car then driving off without reporting it.
The shadow chancellor touched the bumper of the vehicle during what he described as a "five or seven-point turn" in a Labour club car park in his constituency.
Mr Balls admitted failing to stop after the collision and a district judge ordered five points be put on his driving licence.
A district judge said the incident in Mr Balls's Morley and Outwood constituency, in West Yorkshire, was "at the lower end of the scale of seriousness".
District Judge Roy Anderson said Mr Balls said he did not realise he had hit the parked Peugeot 308 with his Ford Mondeo.
Mr Anderson said: "Motorists who leave the scene of accidents without stopping to exchange particulars will, in serious cases, face a penalty which includes disqualification from driving.
"This, however, is a case very much at the lower end of the scale of seriousness."
After the incident on April 5, Mr Balls released a statement in which he said: "I have written to the owner of the other car to say I was terribly sorry and to reimburse the owner concerned for the necessary repair. I have contacted our insurance company in the usual way."
The offence of failing to stop after an accident can lead to 10 penalty points, driving disqualification, a fine of up to £5,000 or, in the most serious cases, a jail sentence of up to six months.
Mr Balls already has three points on his licence after going through a red light in London in 2012 and last year he was caught speeding on the M62 in West Yorkshire.
On that occasion he opted to pay a fine and attend a speed awareness course.
He was also caught talking on his mobile phone while driving in 2010, admitting he had been stupid to do so. The points for that offence have lapsed.

Sascha Petrosevitch is a widowed undercover agent posing as a tough, international car thief. He has many friends on both sides of the law. One of them, career criminal Nick Frazier, has been like a brother to him. One night while on a heist job, Sascha and Nick are intercepted by a female FBI agent, EZ Williams, who, unbeknownst to Nick, is working in tandem with Sascha. Nick refuses to surrender and the Feds open fire. Sascha takes seven bullets for Nick, saving his friend's life, and nearly losing his own. To maintain his cover, Sascha is sentenced with Nick to the newly refurbished, high tech Alcatraz, where inmates are fitted with special implants to prevent escape. The prison also boasts a state of the art execution chamber, which will be used for the first time on the infamous criminal Lester, who's been charged with robbing an armored vehicle of $200 million dollars worth of gold--that was never recovered. However, intercepting that plan is a group of expertly trained mercenaries called the "49ers," who break into the highly secure prison. Led by 49er One, the group has come for one thing only--to find out where the missing gold has been buried. When Lester refuses to tell them, they begin taking hostages, and it's up to Sascha to rally the prisoners to take on the ruthless commando force.

It's not easy balancing the schedule of playing for a top-five women's basketball team along with classes, a social life, and other responsibilities. For redshirt senior forward Mikaela Ruef, add a part-time job as an engineer and a day that begins at 5 a.m. each morning and sometimes stretches all the way until 11 p.m. before she can take a breath.
The Cardinal Channel followed Ruef throughout her day's business on February 27, when Stanford hosted Washington for an 8 p.m. tip at Maples Pavilion. From the time she left home for her engineering job at Preston Pipelines on campus just before 6 a.m. to the moment she drove away from Maples Pavilion after the game shortly before 11 p.m., Ruef's day was chronicled to show the dedication and discipline required to maintain such a grueling regimen.
Ruef's dedication to her job, her academics (she will receive her master's degree in civil and environmental engineering at the end of March), and the Stanford women's basketball team, for which she averages career highs of 6.9 points and 9.5 rebound per game while being named All-Pac-12 honorable mention, exemplifies the all-around excellence which is synonymous with Stanford student-athletes.

Even though a day had passed since the Saints' 48-27 rout of the New York Giants, New Orleanians clung to the euphoria on Monday.
There were no banners, proclamations or parades to celebrate the Saints' undefeated (so far) status, but the excitement was clearly there, across the city and online, where "Who Dat?" messages proliferated on Facebook and MySpace.
"Obviously, everybody is excited, " quarterback Drew Brees said. "It makes it a little more fun to go to work Monday morning. Everybody's just got a little pep in their step."
Kenneth Riley, a former New Orleanian who lives in Texas but came back with three family members for Sunday's game, had three words for it: "Warm and fuzzy."
"When you walk around, you can feel it, " he said.
The buzz was definitely present at Lusher Charter School's Willow Street campus, where "When the Saints Go Marching In" was played at the morning assembly. And it even crept into the august confines of Civil District Court, where some jurors showed up in black and gold for the trial in a lawsuit related to city crime cameras, and lawyers mentioned the big victory.
Schoolchildren, jurors and lawyers had to hold their enthusiasm in check, but Loretta Boss operated under no such constraint as she served up hot lunches at Chef's Sandwich on Poydras Street.
"You can say, 'Cha-CHING, ' now!" an exultant Boss said, pumping her fist, reviving an old Saints rallying cry.
She was wearing her No. 12 Marques Colston jersey, which she dons every Monday after a Saints victory -- after having worn it to work the Friday before every game.
While Boss didn't need a new Saints garment, others throughout the New Orleans area were heading to stores selling Saints paraphernalia to augment their black-and-gold wardrobe items.
"We open up at 7:30 in the morning, and we had six people waiting to get in, " said Ronnie Dunaway, owner of the Who Dat Shoppe in Olde Towne Slidell. "They wanted everything Saints, any kind of clothing they could get their hands on."
But the excitement hasn't crested yet, said Pam Randazza, owner of the Black and Gold Store on Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie.
"I think it's a little early, " she said. "We're not even close to the halfway point."
Although Randazza said fan fever has yet to reach the temperature of that first post-Hurricane Katrina season of 2006, she believes a victory over the archrival Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 2 will trigger an all-out craze.
In addition to jerseys bearing the names and numbers of Saints such as Colston, Drew Brees, Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush, Dunaway said a big seller last week was a shirt reading "Eli Who?" in reference to Giants quarterback -- and native New Orleanian -- Eli Manning.
Eli's father, former Saints quarterback Archie Manning, saw "Archie Who?" slogans tossed about by opponents during his college playing days at Ole Miss.
The "Eli Who?" shirts also had been popular at Geaux for the Gold in Slidell, store manager Tina Kirkland said.
"I don't know what people will do with them now, " she said. "Maybe they're hoping we'll play the Giants in the playoffs."
Although the Saints' triumph happened to coincide with the first cool-weather weekend of the new season, Kirkland couldn't help noticing that people were buying long-sleeved shirts.
"People must think the team will still be playing in January, " she said.
That was the consensus at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Quarterback Club, where people have congregated every Monday since 1939 to eat lunch and chew over the previous day's game.
This year's Saints "are the real deal, " local businessman Jerry Foley said. "I think we have an unselfish group of receivers. I think the new defense coordinator (Gregg Williams) has taken the defense to the next level."
"There is no Achilles heel with this team, " local lawyer Stan Kottemann said. "I think this could be their year. Everything seems to be clicking. The players see the goal, know what they have to do, and they are unified."
So are the fans, coach Sean Payton said Monday.
"I would say that our crowd yesterday was as good as it has been in a while," he said. "I thought yesterday was deafening, and I know there were some protection snafus that New York had trouble with because they couldn't hear the call. I think the fans know this, but it's an amazing advantage when it can be that loud."
Brees relished the lingering civic excitement.
"We have some very passionate fans -- about the team, about the city, just what it means to have the success we're having and what it does for everybody, " he said.
But, so far, nobody seems excited enough about the Saints' prospects to start organizing groups to fly to Miami for Super Bowl XLIV, which will be played Feb. 7.
"Not yet, " an employee at one local travel agency said. "Maybe in a few weeks."

The Bruins did a beach workout in Marina del Rey on Wednesday morning, which included playing footvolley, a hybrid game of soccer and beach volleyball, with the Ball. UCLA coaches were joined by former World Cup players Lorrie Fair and UCLA and U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame player Cobi Jones to play footvolley matches against the Bruin players.
After the workout, the team members were able to add their signatures to the Ball, but not before heading it, a ritual that is required before signing it.
The Ball is visiting 25 countries through the non-profit organization Spirit of Football, which celebrates the positive spirit of football around the globe and spreads the message of One Ball, One World. The Ball is a fair-trade ball that was made by prisoners in a Brazilian rehab program called Pintando a Liberdade.
This is the fourth journey of The Ball to the World Cup. It will visit 35 major cities along its route through 27 countries and will cover approximately 11,000 miles. By the time the Ball reaches Brazil, it will have been signed by over 20,000 people, including the Bruin team.
Spirit of Football is a non-profit based in the U.K. that supports K-12 education and inter-cultural communication.

He never fit in at Arizona State, the dear alma mater at which his uncle, Dallas Cowboys great Danny White starred. He fit in better at BYU--throwing for over 11,000 yards and almost 100 TDs--but he never truly fit the mold of a great BYU quarterback. He wasn't ever an aw-shucks Heisman guy like Ty Detmer, he wasn't a renegade, take-no-prisoners Jim McMahon type, he wasn't squeaky clean like Gifford Nielsen--nor did he win a national title like Robbie Bosco.
Max Hall was caught somewhere in the middle, between his Warren Spahn and Catfish Hunter, trying to find a place where he threw best among BYU's throwing greats. When others wanted him to throw more--his 5 INT game and loss against rival Utah comes to mind--he accepted those risks and kept trying. And when he ran his mouth after BYU beat Utah the next year, others told him to shut up, yet he wouldn't. Either way, he was always too this or too that for anyone's good.
Hall never knew who he wanted to be--or where he fit among BYU's pantheon of QB legends. He was aloof, he was childish and he was always looking like he had one foot out the door leading away from that hallowed hall of bronzed statues--ready to go back to the Arizona desert and Uncle Danny White and leave Provo for good.
Of course, Hall came back to Provo--everybody does, even McMahon eventually did. Even Steve Clements, that twangy Texas QB and failure at BYU, did--he ended up coaching high school ball in Lehi. So it was no surprise Hall eventually returned to BYU to jump start his coaching career, cutting his teeth as a graduate assistant there in 2012--just like it was no surprise Hall decided to play football in Canada last year after a two-year break from the sport.
So Hall went to Canada--Winnipeg to be exact--and found himself playing for and starting for the Blue Bombers where he threw for about 2,000 yards in 12 games and had more interceptions than touchdowns. That's the part you heard about. The part you didn't hear about--that nobody heard about--was that Hall may have been playing football in the great white north out of a different kind of necessity. And so here begins a cautionary tale for anyone wanting to play football at BYU, at Utah, at, well, anywhere.
Nobody actually knows what Hall's necessity might have been--he was released by the Blue Bombers during training camp earlier this summer--but the latest developments in Hall's career leads you to believe there may be more to that story, too.
USC QB great Todd Marinovich admitted to the film crew that shot his award-winning documentary that the only reason he kept playing in his later years was to pay for his drug habit.
As Karl Marx once said, "Religion is the opiate of the masses." So when that natural high of playing football at a high level leaves--as it left Hall once he left BYU, the NFL and the CFL--then what do you do? How do you get that high that leaves after you throw for tens of thousands of yards and your arm looks and feels like it's been through a meat grinder?
Do you do the things that propelled everyone to think you were a pompous jerk based on the things you said about Utah fans in the first place? Or do you go to a different place, a more personal place that only you know about, a kind of place nobody would want to talk about?
Because this kind of thing seems to happen at BYU more often than at other schools, and no, that's not a good thing; that's not okay--and yes for anyone's peace of mind, it does need to be talked about, dragged out into the open and discussed over and over and over again, until someone, anyone, fixes the problem.
The fact of the matter is, nobody except for Hall himself knows how long Hall has been on this roller coaster--but it appears he's been on one heck of a ride for a while now. Former BYU teammate Ben Criddle said in an interview with KSL-TV on Tuesday that Hall may have been having trouble as far back as high school.
When Gilbert, Arizona police revealed on Tues. Sept. 2 that Hall was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting items from area Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores inside of a backpack he was wearing, well, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Hall also had inside his backpack traces of cocaine in a pill bottle, two hypodermic needles, a metal spoon and a lighter.
Hall was also wearing a BYU football shirt while committing the crimes, adding a punchline for those Utah fans who hate Hall for what he said after that fateful game in 2009--except drug abuse isn't a laughing matter.
Neither is shoplifting, but people who hate Hall will probably get a kick out of this story because it's sensational beyond words--he was reportedly stealing cell phone chargers. Meanwhile, the story is sad because in the end, Hall was just as aloof stealing merchandise from a store as he was talking to the media in his playing days.
The only part of this story that might make sense to most--but hopefully not all--is that Hall was arrested, and hopefully, that will help him get the help he needs.
If any lesson is to be learned by Hall, the media, or anyone else who cares about this story, know this: addiction crosses all boundaries, be it religion or class status, race or intellect, and especially the red or blue team you root for on Saturdays.
Addicts will often lie and cheat, beg, borrow and steal to get their fix. Hall's arrest appears to have been an attempt to keep his addiction going--only he knows why and for how long though.
Hall also told police he was going down this road of stealing to support his habit for the first time, reportedly telling the Gilbert police officer who arrested him that he was sorry and that he'd never done this before--he just didn't want to lose his current job as Gilbert High School's offensive coordinator.
Hall also told police at the time of his arrest that he had just injected coke into his elbow--probably to alleviate pain he suffered after having multiple shoulder separations and surgeries as a player. The list of current and former NFL players and coaches suspended and/or banned for life due to substance abuse is long and it usually doesn't end well--resulting in bodily harm, incarceration and even death.
In theory, Hall's arrest is a lot like Hall's career in both the NFL and CFL--one without a great deal of success, or mutual respect. After his career at BYU, for example, he wasn't drafted, yet he still managed to earn a tryout for his home state Arizona Cardinals--only to throw for just one touchdown and six interceptions with a paltry QB rating of 35.7.
Even when Hall played for the Cardinals at the nexus of his pro career in 2011, he was a last resort type of option. He was first signed to the practice squad before ineffective play at QB led the Cardinals coaching staff to give him a shot.
Hall didn't produce in his first outing with the Cardinals, throwing for three yards and one interception. His second game was better--still not stellar. His third game, also his only start in his career, was his best yet as a pro. He had 167 yards passing, one TD and two INTs--but the following week he was replaced and never played another snap in the NFL.
In many regards, Hall's career in football has been cautionary, and he's always had to learn lessons the hard way. Something always prevented some teams, and most fans, from taking a chance on him--Arizona State and every NFL team except for Hall's hometown Cardinals--yet he was brave enough to try, and try again to play at a high level--until he got it right.
In life, you hope as a human being that despite a person's flaws and tragedies, they find the strength, the faith, to get it right. In the end winning football games is the only measuring stick by which all QB's are judged. It's how it was at BYU, in the NFL and in the CFL. In life, however, you win just by learning how to play the game.
For some, it's an easy solution. For others like Hall, who has a world of talent in his arm that threw for tens of thousands of yards, it's not as easy. He has a wife and two kids and he lost his home in Arizona after selling it, and leaving it all behind for a fresh start in Canada.
While no charges were filed against Hall--he was released shortly after his arrest--the former BYU star could be looking at a misdemeanor shoplifting charge and a drug charge that carries with it a felony sentence.
The last part of the story, or the possibility of a felony charge, is the most frightening of all for someone with a family--because it would surely mean an end to Hall's coaching career. When you're addicted though, you can forget about helping others--you're in a race to save yourself.

Many moms-to-be experience varicose veins--those yucky swollen veins that bulge just under the skin-- during pregnancy. But why?
Varicose veins are linked to increased pressure in the veins. Valves inside the veins that normally prevent the backward flow of blood become damaged. This can cause the blood to go backward or pool...and swell your veins.
If you experience weight gain during pregnancy and increased progesterone levels, the walls of your veins can become weak. You're also more likely to get varicose veins if you have a family history of them. Being overweight, carrying twins or just having additional pregnancies can make your prone to varicose veins.

A Keighley man has been banned from keeping poultry and ferrets after he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to animals in his care.
Aaron Scrivens, 26, of Western Avenue, Riddlesden, pleaded guilty at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court yesterday to failing to properly investigate the causes of weight loss and poor bodily condition of a game cock, three hen partridges and a ferret, between August 14 and September 4 last year. Two of the hen partridges and the ferret died, but the other animals recovered.
Scrivens was given a conditional discharge for two years, was disqualified from keeping poultry and ferrets for five years and must pay costs of £2,844.75.
Paul Fitzpatrick, mitigating, said: "A combination of inexperience and naivety on Mr Scrivens' part led to these animals becoming underweight."

By Claudine Kapel
While many organizations say they are committed to achieving high levels of employee engagement, new research indicates such efforts are proving to be more sizzle than steak.
Bain & Company suggests the stumbling block lies with how organizations approach employee engagement, including the tendency to make the human resources team responsible for it.
"Most senior executive teams preach a gospel of engagement, but they abdicate responsibility to corporate staff, often HR," says Bain, in a report entitled Who's Responsible for Employee Engagement?
"That delegation is misplaced, as HR is not in a position to take or direct actions required to affect attitudes at the employee or team level."
Bain says there's real value in fostering high levels of employee engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to "put in the extra discretionary effort that can raise productivity and create superior experiences for customers."
To that end, Bain notes "making employees loyal advocates of their employer is not an end goal in itself, but rather a means to achieving customer and financial goals."
Bain is critical of what it sees as the prevalent approach to employee engagement. "Typically, HR groups rely on long, corporate-wide annual surveys and one-size-fits-all processes that focus on adherence, rather than encouraging changes tailored to the team level. This centralized approach has innate problems that can actually lead to stagnant or declining engagement."
Such surveys, says Bain, are too broad or infrequent to "pick up important topical or team-specific issues."
Bain worked with the international survey consultancy Netsurvey to analyze engagement responses from 200,000 employees across 40 companies in 60 countries and found some "troubling trends":
Bain says a more effective approach to employee engagement would have "line supervisors, not HR, lead the charge."
"With HR leading the survey design, administration and interpretation, line supervisors feel no ownership of the process," says Bain. "People stay focused primarily on managing some sort of engagement score, rather than having a thorough conversation about the issues raised in order to understand and address the root causes of engagement or discontent."
Giving supervisors a lead role in the process is key, says Bain. "With the supervisor acting as a catalyst to flush out workplace issues, teams can openly discuss what policies or informal rules impede their full engagement and craft solutions together."
Bain notes some concerns, such as overtime rates or benefit plans, will go beyond a local team's control. But it says even those issues can be addressed by ensuring there is a feedback loop that enables issues to be escalated to senior leaders with the authority to act and respond back to the teams.
"Encouraging frequent supervisor-team dialogues may sound obvious, yet in reality it's all too rare," says Bain.
The concerns raised by Bain with respect to employee engagement mirror those that continue to be raised about performance management in general. The critical – and frequently missing –link is the line manager.
The communication between people managers and their direct reports represents the very heartbeat of an organization. The quality and frequency of that communication can serve as a key indicator of organizational health.
So opening up the lines of communication is a powerful way to unleash productive energy and creative potential. It's the catalyst that delivers the steak instead of the sizzle.

The Michigan Opera Theatre Children's Chorus (MOTCC) has a legacy of involving gifted children in work that is relevant not only creatively, but socially and historically. This year, they will perform Hans Krása and Adolf Hoffmeister's 'Brundibár' on Sunday, March 16, at 2:30 p.m. at the Detroit Opera House. The opera, originally written in Czech, will be performed in a brilliantly witty new English translation by Pulitzer- and Tony-winning American playwright Tony Kushner. The performance is directed by Michael Yashinsky and will be conducted by Dianna Hochella.
While this family-friendly children's opera tells a sweet story when enjoyed at face value, the significance of Brundibár is that its production stands as a memorial to child victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
The story is simple enough – telling of a brother and sister who join forces with a sparrow, cat and dog to outwit the evil organ grinder, Brundibár. It's significant to note that when Tony Kushner's story was published as a book illustrated by Maurice Sendak, the character of Brundibár was outfitted with a Hitler mustache.
Originally composed as part of a government competition, the staging of the children's opera was interrupted by the rise of the Third Reich. It was eventually rehearsed at an orphanage made necessary by WWII. Before the first performance, the composer and set designer had already been sent to the notorious concentration camp, Theresienstadt. In short order, nearly all of the children of the original chorus and the orphanage staff had also been transported to Theresienstadt. To distract the children and keep up hope, the little troupe staged 55 productions of "Brundibár" in the concentration camp. In 1944 a special production was set up by the Nazi propaganda machine to fool the International Red Cross into thinking that Theresienstadt was a benign relocation center. After that, "Brundibár" was filmed by the Nazi propaganda machine to further disguise the horrors of their regime. All of the participants in the Theresienstadt production were herded into cattle trucks and sent to Auschwitz as soon as filming was finished, where most were gassed, including children.
One of the reasons we know as much as we do is owing to Holocaust survivors such as Ela Stein Weissberger. Ms.Weissberger played the Cat in the original performance at Theresienstadt. Ms. Weissberger will be onsite to speak to donors in the audience about how art and music inspired her hope for survival. The performance will be preceded by "Lilies Among Thorns," a new play penned by the stage director that dramatizes the extraordinary human will to create things of beauty even in the face of destruction.
"It's a light opera but there is a dark history surrounding it," said MOTCC director Suzanne Mallare Acton. 'Brundibár's' message of people banding together to overcome an evil force certainly was relevant at the time this opera was composed. We've learned from those who survived the Holocaust that the arts can survive during terrible times and help bring hope to those who need it most. Having Ela present to speak to audiences about what this opera and other artistic works meant to the people of Theresienstadt is a great learning opportunity for our kids and the whole community. It's a true testament of the human spirit enduring during truly dire circumstances."
This is a show that younger children can enjoy and an experience that will benefit the entire family.
Tickets to the performance of "Brundibár" are $30 for adults and $15 for children 17 years and younger. Patron tickets are available for $50 and include box seats and a meet and greet opportunity with Ela and the cast, following the show. Ticket information is available by calling (313) 237-SING (7464) or by visiting michiganopera.org.
A student dress rehearsal is open to local schools on Fri., March 14 at 11 a.m. "Brundibár" is sponsored by Lil and Alex Erdeljan – Production Sponsor, and the Worthington Family Foundation – Education Material and Student Ticket Sponsor.
