In October 2009, Enterprise Cloud Computing was considered bleeding edge technology by many but there was something that seemed different about its value potential and adoption rate. For CIOs, it seemed a chance to provision affordable infrastructure quickly, alleviating delays to mission critical deliveries. Federal CIOs interest in Enterprise Cloud Computing was limited to innovators and early adopters. Two years later, where does Enterprise Cloud Computing stand? Is it for real?
Today, Cloud Computing is on the Gartner® technology hype curve in the "peak of inflated expectations" category. Its placement on the curve—even though we all should prepare for the dreaded "trough of disillusionment" dip—indicates Cloud Computing is, indeed, for real. There are other indicators of note also. CIOs across the board are focused on the success Cloud Computing can deliver. Vendors are sparring with each other to obtain space in Gartner's Magic Quadrant. The Federal CIO has issued a "Cloud First" policy and published the first Federal Cloud Computing Strategy. And, it's been featured in the hit comic strip Dilbert—a pop culture indicator worth noting!
Federal agencies need IT solutions that can handle current missions—from supporting counter-terrorism to combating proliferation of weapons of mass destruction--and we need IT that can handle global surge demands based on fluctuating world events and natural disasters. Federal IT must be efficiently adaptable and properly affordable to meet evolving mission needs. It must be capable of keeping pace with the exponential growth of data, including the increasing complexities of maintaining legal and regulatory compliance of information management and assurance.
As a CIO, building your cloud strategy can be confusing as there are many options to consider before making a decision. Cloud Computing can deliver within a variety of characteristics. Each CIO will need to consider the characteristics of primary importance in order to properly center a strategy. For example, determining your needs for rapid elasticity, on-demand self-service, global access, and payment options will be necessary to develop the right strategy. The second consideration for a CIO is just how far up the stack she wants to go. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) each deliver different features and capabilities for your business. You can develop a plan that includes some or all of the Services. Finally, a CIO needs to think about the deployment model(s) that best fit her business (Public, Private, Community, and Hybrid).
Cloud Computing isn't perfect; there are concerns to manage and mistakes to avoid. The number one concern remains Security and that's given rise to Enterprise Cloud Computing deployments and private clouds. But, there are other concerns also such as the skill set of your workforce, requirements for compliance verification, legacy baseline migration, and costs. For example, depending on the percentage of your legacy that can successfully transition to Cloud, your cost-benefit equation may not provide sufficient return for the investment.
Common mistakes to avoid include: assuming Cloud Computing is for everything; planning for a "light switch" migration from legacy to new; selecting only one vendor and creating early lock-in; underestimating the cultural change required by your own IT team; and implementing a bunch of mini- clouds in your existing data closets.
We've spent 18 months developing the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) IT strategy and roadmap; we gave it a lot of thought but it is just an example and not the only way to move forward. Our cloud delivery model will be private first and then a hybrid of private and community (with our Intelligence Community colleagues). We're moving our way up the stack starting with IaaS and PaaS first, then SaaS. And, we are focused on a phased revolutionary approach—building a new environment as a green field.
Our planning has highlighted the need to focus attention on management of the NRO Cloud. Defining specific roles and responsibilities, articulating cloud service level agreements between the provider and users, adjusting organizational constructs to fit the Cloud business model, and streamlining configuration control processes to meet the rapid timelines of provisioning must all be addressed if success is to be achieved. Our planning also indicated the NRO mission would not be served by a CPU-based commodity cloud alone. We also need a high-performance cloud that is GPU-based and we are learning there are industry gaps in this area.
The NRO Cloud strategy won't be too different from how other Federal agencies adopt Cloud Computing. Most agencies processing classified information are focused on private clouds versus public clouds for security and information management/assurance reasons. Over time, though, I believe federal community clouds will emerge, as will private hybrid clouds, which allow agencies to maintain a private space as well as take advantage of federal community clouds.
The NRO Cloud will be implemented in four phases over the course of 6 years. It's a complex migration necessarily paced to meet federal budget processes, existing acquisition commitments, and mission service imperatives.
- Phase 1 – Test It. We have multiple small cloud pilots ongoing covering commodity/utility cloud, high performance cloud, and big data cloud. We are focused on streamlining information assurance compliance, developing appropriate policies and processes, and defining standards.
- Phase 2 – Prove It. In this phase, we will merge successful elements from Phase 1, finalize policies, prototype management and governance changes necessary for cloud provisioning models, refine standards, realign programs as needed, and ensure enterprise foundation capabilities meet mission demands.
- Phase 3 – Use It. Scaled deployment of the enterprise Cloud will occur. Applications will develop specific transition and migration plans generally aligned with planned refresh cycles. Service management processes and new centralized information assurance approaches will be refined for long-term success.
- Phase 4 – Exploit It. The NRO Cloud will emerge as the primary Enterprise Infrastructure Services Provider with robust measures of effectiveness, performance accountability, and service transparency. New mission and business applications will emerge through innovations in Cloud Computing and federation with the IC Cloud will be achieved moving the NRO into a hybrid environment.
In summary, the time for Cloud Computing is now. All of the indicators are in place to suggest a rapid and successful migration to this newest generation of IT architecture. It is not a one-size-fits-all migration. CIOs will need to spend time exploring Cloud Computing solutions to find the combination that best responds to specific mission and business needs. Maintaining awareness of the concerns and mistakes is absolutely necessary and security remains the top concern. Security is a huge focus for IT vendors and creative, robust solutions will be constantly emerging to reduce concerns. Large organizations will increasingly turn to Enterprise Cloud Computing strategies to achieve efficiencies of Cloud Computing while reducing risks of exposure for intellectual property, customer privacy, and competitive strategies.

Ashton Kutcher Gets Cozy With Lea Michele at 'New Year's Eve' Premiere
Ashton Kutcher seems to be enjoying his newly single life. After spending his Thanksgiving weekend being swarmed by girls at an Iowa bar, the "Two and a Half Men" star seemingly got flirty with his "New Year's Eve" co-star, Lea Michele, at the Hollywood premiere of the romantic comedy.
Arriving at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Monday, December 5 in a plaid shirt and a grey suit, the 33-year-old actor was snapped sharing warm embrace and laughter with the 25-year-old beauty on the black carpet. Despite his separation from wife Demi Moore, he looked carefree and was not wearing his wedding ring anymore.
While Ashton hasn't shared anything about the premiere with his Twitter followers, Lea posted a photo of them together on the black carpet and wrote on its caption, "it was such an honor working with you. I cannot thank you enough." The "Glee" star herself came to the event wearing a Valentino dress and was accompanied by co-star Jonathan Groff.
About her date, Lea tweeted, "On my way to the premiere! Have the most handsome date with me tonight Mr Jonathan Groff:)" She also made use of her account to thank her team who helped her prepare for the event as writing, "Thank you to my amazing glam team @marktownsend1 and @melaniemakeup @EsteeStanley I love you guys!!!!!!"
Joining Ashton and Lea at the premiere were some of the film's star-studded cast ensemble. Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Abigail Breslin, Ludacris, Josh Duhamel and singer wife Fergie (a.k.a Stacy Ferguson), and Michelle Pfeiffer were among those in attendance.
Offering support for Lea, meanwhile, were a number of the "Glee" guys, Darren Criss, Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, Chris Colfer and Harry Shum Jr.. Other celebrity guests spotted coming to the premiere included Christine Lakin, Joey McIntyre and Jake T. Austin.
"New Year's Eve" comes from the hand of director Garry Marshall. This romantic comedy movie revolves around a group of New Yorkers who intertwine on New Year's Eve, all the while tying in love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts. It will open wide in theaters across the U.S. this Friday, December 9.

A former Akron (Ohio) Police captain convicted of killing his wife in 1997 has been exonerated by a judge based on new DNA test results.
Doug Prade has served 15 years after a jury convicted him of killing Dr. Margo Prade during a bitter divorce. The conviction was largely based on the testimony of a forensic scientist who said a bite mark on the victim matched Doug Prade.
Summit County Common Pleas Judge Judy Hunter said in a ruling that no jury today would convict Douglas Prade of the slaying in light of the new DNA evidence that ruled out the former police captain.
Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh called Hunter's ruling a "gross misapplication of the law" and vowed to appeal, reports the Beacon Journal.
"The defendant had to present new evidence so convincing that no juror would have found him guilty, and he failed to do so," said Bevan Walsh. "The DNA evidence presented by the Ohio Innocence Project on behalf of Prade is contaminated and unreliable. It does not prove innocence."

Conquering injuries, freestyle motocross star Luke Smith makes his big comeback at the Nitro Circus Live show at the North Harbour Stadium on Saturday.
The tour marks a highly anticipated return to the sport for the 30-year-old Stanmore Bay rider.
A crash landing on his head while practising at a friend's Rodney farm in 2009 for the Kumeu hot rod show almost killed him.
He was unconscious for 25 minutes and placed in an induced coma eight days, spending four and a half months in hospital. Injuries included frontal lobe damage and brain swelling on the left side. His sense of balance was affected, he suffered short-term memory loss and had to relearn basic motor skills.
He took up car drift racing for a while then returned to stunt riding with his Moto Mayhem team. Late last year he badly broke an ankle.
Luke hadn't fully recovered when he and another Moto Mayhem rider performed stunts, including his trademark backflips, at the Waitakere Lions Cracker Christmas show at The Trusts Stadium on December 22.
He is now set to take his place alongside some of the most talented riders across freestyle motocross, BMX, skate and anything on wheels.
"In the show there is a best whip competition and I'll be going up against three X Games medallists," Luke says. "I plan on showing New Zealand that even after a big injury I can whip it with the best of them, and try to take out the win on home soil." Luke will join a crew including those from the hit MTV series and the 3D movie, such as Special Greg, Streetbike Tommy, Gregg Godfrey and Jeremy Rawle, all from the United States.
X Games medallists from Australia Blake 'Bilko' Williams, king of the FMX whip Jarryd McNeil, Sydney X Fighters Champion Josh Sheehan, Steve Mini and Clinton Moore perform.
The show also features some of the best BMX riders in the world, including Taupo rider Jed Mildon, who performed the world's first triple backflip. Others are Chad Kagy (US), double front-flipping Aussie Andy Buckworth and triple backflipper James Foster (US). Kids trikes, snow skis, Barbie cars, garbage bins, chilly bins and more will be launched off the 15 metre Nitro Gigant-A-Ramp on the multi-million dollar set.

LONDON Jan 14 Housebuilder Barratt Developments said total home sales grew 71 percent in the first six months of its financial year compared to the prior year, driven by a recovery in Britain's housing market across all regions.
Britain's largest housebuilder by volume said on Tuesday total forward sales, excluding joint ventures, over the six months to end-December jumped to 1.27 billion pounds ($2.08 billion), from 742.1 million pounds, equating to 7,007 plots.
It said it had increased output levels alongside higher sales rates, with private reservations rising by 36.7 percent in the period, and was seeing an increase in underlying sales prices across the group due to the improved market conditions and strong consumer demand.
The company and its rival housebuilders have seen demand surge on the back of a government move in 2013 to help struggling house buyers by providing loans and guaranteeing mortgages. Barratt said 29 percent of its total completions over the period used the "Help to Buy" scheme.
The company said it also expected its total average selling price on completions to have risen by 13.7 percent to 211,000 pounds in the period, due to a move to build more lucrative family homes rather than high density city-centre apartments.
"As a result of the continued recovery of the housing market across all regions and our 3.1 billion pound investment in new land over the last four years, we have been able to increase materially the number of new homes being built and our profitability," Chief Executive Mark Clare said.
Separately, Countrywide Holdings, Britain's largest estate agent by revenue, said it expected to deliver 2013 profit at the top end of its expectations due to strong income growth of 11 percent over the year to end-December.

Game of the Year Eligibility Requirements
By Asky314159 0 Comments
Game of the Year awards are Serious Business. In order to ensure that everything is above board and proper, a set of rules is necessary. These are mine:
- The game must have made either its initial or US release within the current calendar year.
- For most western games, the initial release and the US release occurs on the same day, so the distinction is not important.
- The distinction is more likely to matter for Japanese releases. Yakuza 5, for example, made its initial release in 2012 and its US release in 2015 and could have been considered for either year's awards.
- Any game is only eligible for a single year's awards.
- If I had imported a Japanese copy of Yakuza 5 in 2012, it would have been considered for the 2012 awards and would no longer have been eligible in 2015.
- If I had not imported a Japanese copy of Yakuza 5 in 2012, the US release would have been eligible in 2015.
- DLC and expansion content is eligible if it received a retail release or would have, in my opinion, received a retail release in 1995.
- Diablo expansions and Civilization expansions qualify, Mass Effect 3's Leviathan DLC does not.
- Re-releases and remakes are eligible if, in my opinion, the length of time since the original release and the changes made to the game are substantial enough to warrant eligibility.
- The Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, while still a fantastic game, does not meet either criteria and is not eligible. The Halo CE Anniversary meets both criteria and is eligible.
- Episodic games are eligible in the year their final episode releases.
- The Wolf Among Us Episode 1 was released in 2013. Episode 5 was released in 2014. The Wolf Among Us is eligible in 2014, not 2013.
- The game must have been released on a digital computing device of some sort.
- This means that browser, iOS, and Ouya games are all eligible, you know, if any good games existed for those platforms.

Thanks for bringing this up. With s 15year old and a 10 year old, I never really put alot of thought into it. I will discuss with them and come up with a plan. I am bugging out when tshf so this is an important element. What if I can 't locate one of them. Sheeesh, the thought scares me. Luckily they do have quite a bit of family in my city.
Both know their way around well enough. Intrestingly the 10year old more so than the 15 year old. I think he's more observant than she is. I think I will start by walking to the main places than driving. Help them with orientation. Its about a 2hr walk to the mall or to the theater, so it'll be good for them to understand this.
Anonymous Coward 26942608
That makes this thread fulfill its purpose. Thanks for not calling me a crackpot!!!
I believe knowledge is power. Most plans are never needed, but better safe than sorry when it comes to our children. They are our future. Thanks for your input!

I'm paddling my own canoe, and have been for quite some time. However, I've reached the point in my life where I'd like to take a relationship as far as I can go, rather than stay in the ambivalent stage as I did when I was younger.
I've had many experiences in my life so far, both good and bad. Drama, if you will. It's not that we have drama in our lives. We all do, or have, without exception. It's how we deal with it, and whether we allow it to affect our current and future relationships. If you hold on to the past with one hand and the future with the other, you'll be ripped apart.
I view this system with cautious scepticism. I have had an unpleasant experience on a competing site, purportedly the largest dating website on the planet, in which I discovered that a number of the subscribers were bogus. That being said, I'm looking for someone who's real. Both philosophically and literally.
I believe honesty is the best policy. Honesty builds trust, and trust is absolutely essential in a romantic relationship. Without trust, love will wither and die.
Over the course of the past two years, I've changed my residence and I've changed my employer. I no longer live in Midtown and I now work for "The Man."
One of my old school friends, now a teacher, asked what Georgia was like. I asked her, "Have you ever seen Deliverance?" She replied, "No, is it an educational film?" Yes...I think you could say so.
Some wise person once said that experience is the unique ability to recognize a mistake when we make it again. Although I've not made any life-changing transgressions that resulted in a criminal record, I'm not perfect and have never claimed to be, but I've tried to learn from the curve balls and fouls that Life has pitched, and am a better man because of it.
1. Air to breathe
2. Food to eat
3. Water to drink
4. Clothes to wear
5. Shelter to keep me warm in winter, cool in summer
6. Companionship
- Every time I touch that track it turns into gold -
- Everybody knows I've got the magic in me -
- When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me -
- Now everybody wants some presto magic -
The problem is, I -don't- have the magic in me, especially "presto magic" (whatever that is), and I'm not a lab technician so I can't balance the pH so the chemistry is "just right" between us. The problem is, this is what most women I've experienced on these electronic, computerized dating schemes are looking for.
The reason these expectations are unrealistic is because magic and chemicals don't exist. Or perhaps they were thought to exist at one time, and then after time passed either the shelf life expired or the two partners were just taking placebos. Divorce in America is now the rule rather than the exception.
Now, what is the secret to happiness in relationships? You'll have to write to me and ask, because telling you at this point in our potential relationship would remove all incentive. Do you think King Arthur opened the door and there was the Holy Grail? No, of course not. He had to assemble his knights, go on a quest, and clap empty coconut shells together.

IBM retiree and semi-retired university professor born in San Juan, PR. Lived 12 years in the US, where we worked and attended graduate school.
Jorge and Maria Charneco purchased this house in 2003
The first time we came to Marchiquita beach area we fell in love with the spectacular 180 degrees ocean view and we decided immediately to buy the lot and build the beach house overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on a 50 ft cliff oceanfront with a 3-5 minute walk or 1 minute car ride to the public beach. There are other nice beaches in the vicinity too. We had visited other beach areas in the island but found them too crowded for us. This area was perfect to make our dream come true!
This is our family vacation home and even though we have our home in San Juan our children and grandchildren, who live in the USA, prefer to stay here in beach house because they love it!
The house is very homey! You will feel this is your 'Home Away from Home!'
Spectacular 180 degree views of the ocean. Walking distance (3-5 minute walk or 1 minute car ride) to public beach. House has a fenced yard, making it safe for children.
It is a 7-10 minutes away from town, where you find restaurants, fast food places, pharmacies, shopping and food stores. There is also a Casino in town, in case you are interested!
House has equipped stainless steel kitchen; amenities such as table games, etc. Plenty of sitting space in the indoor terrace and outside deck, suitable for relaxation, while enjoying the spectacular 180 degrees Atlantic Ocean view during daytime or moon and stars in the sky by night!
Play & Pack, stroller, car and booster seats for small children, as well as toys are available.
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The owners were wonderful, the house was well stocked and comfortable and the view was gorgeous. Two beaches are within a 2 minute walk and the amenities of town are a 5-10 minute drive. Our family of four - including 2 teenaged boys - enjoyed it thoroughly.
Marie and Jorge are very warm and gracious property owners! They met us at the airport car rental and directed us to their home. We encountered a little bit of traffic but it generally takes 45 minutes from the airport.
They helped us get settled in the house and gave us a brief overview of the area. We were delighted when we arrived because the house was very clean and nicely decorated. We arrived at night so we ate dinner out and went to bed. When we woke up in the morning we were greeted with a breathtaking and amazing view of the ocean from their spacious terrace! We spent a lot of time there. It is very nicely furnished and we had breakfast every morning out there.
There are several beaches located close to the property and we often were the only ones on the beach. We also enjoyed the various nature trails and took a few hikes before heading to the surrounding beaches.
Overall we had an amazing vacation in Manati and were extremely happy staying in Maria and Jorge's lovely home. It was everything and more than we had hoped for our vacation. We were comfortable and felt very much at home. I had booked a nice hotel in San Juan but decided to cancel and stay in their home instead. I could not have made a better decision. It was ideal for our family and we definitely will be back. I highly recommend it!
We are a family of four and loved this location. It was away from the hub bub, but very safe. The view is spectacular - loved waking up every morning to the sunrise and birds singing with the waves crashing below. Home is clean and well stocked in every way. Maria and Jorge were very helpful - had the pleasure of meeting Lydia who became our Abuela during our stay. Beach down the street is stunning...didn't need to go anywhere else. We loved it and hated to leave.
Our family enjoyed this wonderful home! We felt it was in a great location and also gave us easy access to many of the islands diverse activities. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage girls (ages 17 & 14). We are the type of family that enjoys some time at the beach but also adventure. We don't do well with "all- inclusive" resorts and we also love food so this vacation was perfect for us! The house sits atop of the hill and overlooks the ocean with a beautiful view. There's lots of decking to relax with both sun and shade. There are 3 family tables to choose from for quality dinners and a grill. The public beach called Mar Chiquita beach is a short walk or drive down the road. We spent time there with the locals over Easter break and really enjoyed the crowd. Once break was over for the locals the beach only had a few people besides us. The ocean water is fantastic for boogie boarding and great rocks to climb. Maria and Jorge let us use their beach stuff: umbrella, chairs, towels, snorkel stuff, and ball games.
Beyond the beach we went to Toro Verde in Orocovis which is a zip line. They have the longest and highest zip line in the world! Even though one of us is afraid of heights, we all went and had a blast. We did the 8 zip line tour which was perfect. The drive there is super cool. If you don't want to go zip lining you could also go to the awesome restaurant up in the mountain Roka Dura. Both are worth the 45 minute drive up the mountains just to see and visit the mountain culture and views. Another day we drove to Fajardo and took a catamaran sailboat through "East Island Excursions." We snorkeled, had lunch, and spent time on the island beach. Finally, we went into Old San Juan. We took the ferry as recommended by Maria and once off the ferry jumped on the free trolley straight up to El Morro castle (eat first or bring snacks/water). We then walked down and had a great day exploring Old San Juan. We ate at Barrachina restaurant and it was great! Don't forget to go beyond the gates and walk the water. Maria and Jorge are beautiful people, met us at the airport, and were very helpful. They take great pride in Puerto Rico and it shows! Never did any of us feel unsafe. The home itself is surrounded by locked gates. Before we went, we treated some clothes with mosquito repellent chemicals but didn't see many mosquitos. We skipped the bioluminescent bay, rainforest, and cave this time but hope to be back! Thank you!!
We stayed in this wonderful home
It all started with the greeting by the nice and warm couple when we landed from New York
we most say we where in quite a lot of places thank god for his blessings
This place is awesome!!!
1) the location is right above the ocean and purely gorgeous l!
2) the house hase a huge deck right above the ocean
3) these people are warm and very friendly
4)the negberhud is very peaceful
5)it is near some beautiful beaches and parks
Will continue writing..,
Villa Charespi is exactly as portrayed in the photos and reviews on VRBO. Jorge and Maria met us at our rental car pick-up and we followed them to the villa. Considering the traffic in San Juan, our confusion with some of the Spanish highway signage, and especially with the way locals drive, this is a much more important service than I initially thought. They then gave us a quick tour of the villa, explaining where everything was and ensuring everything was proper. The villa is well stocked with kitchen utensils and appliances, along with quite a selection of condiments, spices, etc. It is decorated very nicely, is comfortable, secure, and fit our needs well. Maria and Jorge kindly shared some info with us on local grocery stores, a bakery, and restaurants.
A significant measure of evaluating a property is how the hosts respond if there is an issue. We had an unforeseen problem with an A/C unit, which was resolved promptly (the same day) and effectively. This is the mark of a caring, responsible host. Maria and Jorge provided their emergency contact phone numbers, and they have a local handyman and housekeeper available if needed.
All the little touches (use of beach chairs & an umbrella, binoculars and a telescope, beach towels), full cable TV, DVD, Karaoke player, just added to the quality of our stay. After touring much of the island, we would definitely choose this property again when we return and would highly recommend it to others.Thank you Jorge and Maria, for helping to ensure our memories of Puerto Rico are pleasant ones.
A three to five minute walk (1 minute by car).
A horse ranch is about 1 minute by car from beach house and horsebackriding and tours are available.
Property is close (5-10 minute drive) to US chain stores (ie. Super Walmart, Sam's, etc), Prime Outlet shopping mall, pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS), bakery, fast food places (Burger King, Chili's, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, etc.).
Traditional Puertorican food kiosks steps away from beach house).
Arrangements can be made for authentic traditional meal prepared on property (additional fee).
No US passport needed to come to PR. Enjoy the ocean breezes that constantly blow by trade winds with 80+degrees in our deck porch!

Mr. Bigs Sack
Illustration by Bob AulWhen our receptionist said Mr. Big was on the phone, I dropped all current projects and immediately took the call. After all, Mr. Big is listed on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans with a fortune in the billions, and even in the luxury-boat business, that's big. I prepared my most professional voice and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Big, how can I help you?"
"Well, this isn't Mr. Big," you said. "It's Mr. Big's chief financial officer, Mr. Sack. Listen, the ball's in your court in terms of a recent personal-property tax bill on the vessel your firm built for Mr. Big."
"Why, Mr. Sack, I'm not sure I follow you," I answered.

"Mr. Big and I are concerned about the value of his boat," you explained. "Could you provide some written documentation on the value?"
"I'm sure I could, Mr. Sack, but what seems to be the problem? Does Mr. Big want to sell the boat? Is he unhappy with it?"
"Oh, no, Mr. Big is perfectly happy with the vessel," you said. "It's just we're not in agreement with the Country Assessor's valuation and would like to challenge their personal-property tax bill."
"Gee-whiz, Mr. Sack, isn't that about a $150 annual bill?" I asked.
"Yes, that's right," you replied.
"Is this really one of my friends prank calling?" I asked.
"No," you insisted. "It's really Mr. Sack."
It has taken me a while to get back to you, Mr. Sack, but here's my conclusion: you want to save Mr. Big $49 on his taxes for a 21-foot luxury boat. I'm guessing you make in the neighborhood of $400,000 per year CFO'ing Mr. Big's billions. That's $192 per hour to the rest of us. Add the duration of Mr. Big's call to you, the ensuing discussion, your call to me and your report back to Mr. Big, and we're talking about four hours—or $768 to save $49.
Eat me, Mr. Sack. This isn't about money. It's about the appearance of power. If that's what it takes to reach billionaire status, I'm out. The ball's in your court.

Surely our day to day use the bathroom . However, how do we organize the bathroom minimalist to look clean and comfortable? we will discuss about arranging the small bathroom minimalist home Small Bathroom remodel .The bathroom is one of the major scope in a house . We can organize small bathrooms clean and certainly convenient to use at home minimalist .
Reforming bathroom furnishings modern ranging from structuring closed sitting and bethup used for bathing. Put closed sitting beside or behind bethup. But it would be nice to sit closed given the distance from bethup. Or we can also use a curtain to draw the line between the closed sitting with bethup to shower. In order for the tiny bathroom minimalist look more comfortable we also have to maintain cleanliness, and also put other properties with neat as possible.
In order for the small bathroom minimalist home look more comfortable we can also provide properties such as air freshener bathroom, sink and shower. With a bathroom air freshener bathroom atmosphere will be more comfortable and fragrant. You also can put a sink in the room the bathroom to wash their hands and wash my face. And use the shower too small bathroom space to make it more complete and modern. You can also put the property other properties that you need.
We recommend that you use the bathroom floor that is more rugged, so the bathroom floor is not slippery minimalist small house. In general, most people prefer the floor with tile size, the smaller and more coarse textured. You can also add the carpet near the door. Do not forget the floor must be cleaned so as not crusty and look dirty.
Actually there are many models of doors bathroom made of wood, aluminum and glass. Of the many people prefer the bathroom door is made of glass and aluminum. because the door made of wood does not last long and quickly kropos. So the bathroom door made of wood not much in demand among the community. The color of the door should be adjusted to the color on the walls of the small bathroom minimalist house so that the bathroom will look more harmonious. You can come directly to the store door to choose a model room door shower according to your wishes.
Because the bathroom is one of the main places in a minimalist home use in everyday then arranging a bathroom very noteworthy. Besides maintaining the cleanliness of the bathrooms is also worth noting that the small bathroom is always comfortable to use. Hopefully after reading tips this article you get the inspiration to organize the small bathroom minimalist home is comfortable to use.

The limbs, torsos, and offal (including penis tips) were crafted by food artist Sharon Baker.
Sales proceeds will go to the Limbless Association.

"My Father's intervention has already commenced and
His wrath will shake the earth

The failure of man to accept the Truth of God's Existence is at the root of this evil.
Man plays with life

the fear of God will be felt by those who do not accept His Laws.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Chapter One
Even as the order to raise shields left her mouth, Captain Gralev knew she'd given it too late. On the main bridge viewscreen of the USS Gagarin, the Klingon K'tinga-class battle cruiser had barely finished emerging from under cloak as her first pair of torpedoes spat forth.
The ship shuddered as the torpedoes tore into the Gagarin's hull. Gralev gripped the arms of her command chair as the bulkheads and floor plates protested the attack and artificial gravity wobbled momentarily.
"Break orbit, evasive starboard. Where are my shields?"
Commander Stephen Garrovick, the ship's first officer, said from behind her, "One torpedo impacted on the secondary hull. Engineering reports heavy damage to the shield generators and life-support. The second torpedo damaged the port nacelle." His eyes locked with hers. "Captain, we can't go to warp."
Gralev could see the Klingon ship veering away on the bridge's main viewscreen, a sliver of gleaming metal contrasting against the dark curtain of space. She knew only seconds remained until their attackers would be in position to launch another strike. With warp drive unavailable to them, her options were dwindling rapidly.
"Stand by weapons," she called out. "I want to smack him across the mouth this time." She glanced over her shoulder to the communications station. "Transmit a general distress call. We don't have a big enough stick to go up against them alone."
As her crew worked around her, Gralev ignored the alarm signals coming from nearly every station on the bridge. Her people knew their jobs, but it was up to her to provide the calm and control they would draw from to guide them through the next few minutes. Despite her anger at having been ambushed for reasons unknown, a display of her legendary Andorian ire wouldn't serve her crew too well just now.
At the forward tactical station, located just to the left of the main viewscreen, Lieutenant Commander Dorthan nodded in her direction. The Bolian, one of the first to graduate from the Academy, was also a proven tactical officer. He'd served previously on the Bozeman, his assignment there having ended only weeks before that vessel's mysterious disappearance near the Typhon Expanse the previous year. As a border patrol ship, the Bozeman had seen its fair share of scrapes, giving Dorthan plenty of opportunity to sharpen his skills. Gralev for one was grateful for his presence.
"And you told me survey duty was boring." His attempt at humor fell flat. "Where the hell did they come from?" It was a question Gralev was pondering herself.
One moment, the Gagarin had been orbiting Nuvidula IV, a barren and unexplored planet situated a mere three-hour cruise at warp two from the Klingon Neutral Zone. The region was only sporadically patrolled, but unmanned sensor probes of Nuvidula had detected trace amounts of dilithium near the planet's surface. It was the Gagarin's job to determine whether or not greater quantities of the valuable mineral were indigenous to the planet's makeup, thereby justifying the establishment of a mining operation as well as greater security. After all, one couldn't be too careful this close to Klingon space.
But the enemy cruiser's torpedoes had decimated the Gagarin's quiet, uneventful survey mission, and if Captain Gralev didn't take action her ship would soon suffer a similar fate.
The Klingons had been uncharacteristically quiet of late, without so much as hostile words exchanged over subspace. Monitoring stations along the Neutral Zone had reported only sporadic ship movement on the Klingon side of the border for months. Rumors had run rampant, theorizing everything from a virulent plague ravaging the Empire to an unknown alien race attacking them from the other side of Klingon space. Gralev, like many seasoned veterans, believed it to be something simpler. In all likelihood, the Klingons merely hadn't had a reason to be bothered with the Federation.
Until now.
Dilithium was just as valuable to the Klingons as it was to the Federation. Unfortunately for the Empire, there were fewer planets rich in the ore within its borders than there were in the Federation. Inevitably the Klingons would have to branch out beyond their territory in search of additional resources. It made sense for them to target remote planets on the fringes of neighboring regions of space.
"They're coming around again," said Lieutenant Linda Parker from the helm, indicating the main viewer. She checked her small tactical display to confirm the Klingon ship's position relative to the Gagarin. "Port side forward."
Gralev studied the viewscreen where the Klingon ship had arced around in its flight path and was maneuvering for another pass. The viewer relayed every detail of the enemy ship's hull as it approached. Light glowed from various portholes, and Gralev briefly imagined she saw Klingons in some of those portals, all waiting in anticipation for the opportunity to storm aboard a Federation starship, lay waste to its crew, and plunder its contents.
For an odd instant, she wished that the sensor imaging systems weren't quite so refined.
At the communications console, Lieutenant Sinak turned in his seat. "Captain, we have received a response to our distress call. The Protector is the only vessel in any position to render assistance, but they are three hours away at maximum warp," the Vulcan said, maintaining his typical stoic expression.
Gralev grimaced at the news. She knew that her Oberth-class science vessel on its own stood no chance against the Klingons. In fact, Gralev had to wonder why they were still here as the enemy ship was capable of destroying them in a single attack run. Without warp drive, the Gagarin had no hope of outrunning their attacker, either.
Maybe she couldn't run, but she could still get her licks in before they took away her ability to fight back.
"Torpedoes locked," Dorthan called out from tactical.
"Fire!" Beneath her feet, Gralev felt the nearly imperceptible vibration in the deck plating as the torpedoes were fired.
Twin hellstorms of orange energy erupted from the Gagarin's forward torpedo launchers, followed almost immediately by a second pair. Everyone on the bridge watched as the first two torpedoes slammed into the Klingon cruiser's forward shields, energy clashing as irresistible force met immovable object.
As the third torpedo impacted, Gralev watched the defensive screens flicker, blinking while the Gagarin's fourth strike passed through the barrier and continued on until it found the cold metal of the cruiser's hull.
The rest of the bridge crew cheered when they saw the result of Dorthan's strike, though the Bolian himself didn't pause to admire his handiwork. His fingers were moving across his tactical console, already firing the ship's phasers and ordering up another spread of torpedoes.
"We're too close. Get me some room, Parker," Gralev ordered. On the screen, the Klingon ship was coming about, already recovering from whatever slight damage Dorthan's attack might have done. Then the stars shifted violently as the Gagarin clawed for maneuvering room, her hull plates groaning in objection to the abuse. The vessel simply wasn't constructed for combat. Compared to a battle cruiser, her vessel was a lethargic slug even when functioning at full efficiency.
Gralev saw the cruiser's forward torpedo launcher already glowing red as it prepared to fire in retaliation. Her eyes darted to the tactical status display on the helm console, realizing with horror that the upper section of the Gagarin's primary hull was facing the enemy. At this distance, the Klingons' next strike would be devastating.
"Stand by for impact!" Once again, Gralev knew it was too little too late.

"SayWa" is dead. The State of Washington's nonsensical tourism slogan lasted only six months before officials retired the five-letter failure. Let the record show that it took the state 18 months and 32 people to come up with SayWa and that hundreds of thousands of dollars have already been spent using it in tourism campaigns.
It's not all bad though. SayWa gave me my favorite Web site since www.badgerbadgerbadger.com. Plus, now we get to come up with a new slogan.
"Not Unlike Oregon" is sure to convey some positive, if unoriginal, emotions. "A Starbucks on Every Corner" would at least be truthful. "Our Team Deserved to Win the Super Bowl" gets across the emotions of Washington residents. My preferred generic slogan would work here too: "No Slogan Needed."
But Washington Governor Christine Gregoire may have been onto something when she contrasted her state with the nation's capital at a Governing conference earlier this month. "The Better Washington" would make a provocative slogan.
