Chicago Police Department Manpower Shortage Latest
"Chicago readers take note: The 'thin blue line' that exists in the Windy City will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future. Carry on accordingly."
–Survival And Prosperity, October 3, 2011
With the help of the popular Chicago police blog Second City Cop, I became aware several years ago of the manpower shortage going on in the Chicago Police Department.
Subsequently, I started blogging about the situation from time to time.
As shootings in the city march past 2,300 for the year, attention is being drawn to Chicago's "cop shortage" again. Fran Spielman reported on the Chicago Sun-Times website on July 20:
After three shootings this week in a gang-ridden South Side ward that includes Englewood and Back of the Yards, Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) is demanding that Emanuel finally make good on his 2011 campaign promise to hire 1,000 additional police officers.
In the meantime, Lopez wants Chicago Police officers now working in pairs for their own safety to get reinforcements from the Illinois National Guard, the Illinois State Police, the Cook County Sheriff's office or all of the above…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
No DHS or other federal agencies?
On the subject of paying for more police, Alderman Lopez brought up taxes. Spielman added:
When Lopez was asked where he would find the money to hire 1,000 more police officers, he offered to raise property taxes- again.
That's on top of the $588 million property tax increase approved last fall for police and fire pensions and school construction and the $250 million increase the Board of Education is about to approve for teacher pensions…
Remember what I've been saying for years now about new/higher fees, fines, and taxes for Chicagoans?
With news yesterday that the Fraternal Order of Police is urging its members to turn down all requests for "non-mandatory overtime" over the fast-approaching Labor Day weekend, Second City Cop blogged:
It is most certainly is a message to the administration- "Hire more cops!" seems to be what we're reading. And that's a perfectly appropriate message to be sending to the city- the Department is badly understaffed…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Robert Shiller: 'Neither Farmland Nor Housing Has Been A Great Place To Invest Money Over The Long Term'
Yale University Economics Professor Robert Shiller just torpedoed long-held notions about farmland and residential real estate in this country. The Nobel Prize winner, who correctly-called the dot-com and housing busts of the last decade, penned the following on The New York Times website on July 15:
Despite solid price increases over the last few years, land and homes have actually been disappointing investments. It's worth considering why.
Let's start by looking at the numbers. The best long-term data on land in the United States is for farmland, which is valuable in its own right and can also be considered a great reservoir that can be converted to housing and other purposes at opportune times.
Over the century from 1915 to 2015, though, the real value of American farmland (deflated by the Consumer Price Index) increased only 3.1 times, according to the Department of Agriculture. That comes to an average increase of only 1.1 percent a year– and with a growing population, that's barely enough to keep per capita real land value unchanged.
According to my own data (relying on the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which I helped create), real home prices rose even more slowly over the same period — a total increase of 1.8 times, which comes to an average of only 0.6 percent a year.
What all that amounts to is that neither farmland nor housing has been a great place to invest money over the long term…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
"Neither farmland nor housing has been a great place to invest money over the long term"
Obviously, this goes contrary to what many Americans have believed all along.
However, the fact that farmland can produce income from crops should not be ignored.
Residential real estate may also offer benefits beyond property value. In my case, the single-family dwelling in the Chicago suburbs which my girlfriend and I own is a significant improvement in such areas as security and food production, for example, compared to our previous rental unit in a multi-family building on the city's Northwest Side.
An interesting piece from Dr. Shiller, which you can read on the Times' website here.

Chicago-Area Residents Renting Egg-Laying Chickens
I've come to appreciate the benefits of owning egg-laying chickens from observing preppers/survivalists the last several years. Keeping an egg-laying hen would be something I'd investigate further- if the Chicago suburb I lived in permitted it and our winters weren't so frigid. For those Chicago-area residents who are permitted to have chickens, I learned from reading my Sunday paper on July 3 that renting egg-laying hens for a portion of the year is now an affordable possibility. Nara Schoenberg reported on the Chicago Tribune website on June 27:
Kelin Petersen knew she wanted a chicken.
The Logan Square mother of three had confided in her best friend, also an admirer of the fluffy barnyard bird. She'd tracked down a good book on chicken care and read it to her kids, who had responded enthusiastically. But it wasn't until a casual conversation with a farm-savvy friend at church that Petersen finally saw a clear path to her goal.
"You can rent chickens, you know," her friend said. "We don't have enough land to do it, but you could totally do it."
Determined to eat local, live green or just do something a little different, Chicagoans such as Petersen are increasingly renting egg-laying hens for the summer…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
As far as costs are concerned, Schoenberg noted later on in the piece:
Chicken rental costs roughly $110 a month, and typically includes two or three chickens, feed, dishes, bedding, and a sturdy wood and wire coop, as well as email, phone or text support…
Good to know. You can read the entire article here on the Tribune website.

Hillary Clinton: White Americans 'Need To Recognize Our Privilege And Practice Humility'
The "favorite daughter" of Park Ridge, Illinois- Hillary Clinton- gave this advice to white Americans Monday at the NAACP convention in Cincinnati, Ohio:
We white Americans need to do a better job of listening when African-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face everyday. We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume our experiences our everyone's experiences…

Message For Chicago, Cook County, And Illinois Readers
Readers of Survival And Prosperity might get the wrong impression that I'm rooting for Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois to "fail" based on my routine blogging about their financial, crime, and political woes.
Actually, I do this because I care deeply about the region and its residents.
It's been my experience that Chicagoans and Illinoisans are pretty decent people overall. I've found many of them to be down-to-earth and quick to lend a helping hand to neighbors and strangers alike.
It's my personal opinion that these woes (interconnected in my mind) I speak of will only intensify in the coming years. The trend is not our friend here, and if anything, since many of the people who helped bring about this mess are still in charge, is it reasonable to expect they'll be the ones to fix it?
In the meantime, I predict many Illinoisans will be subject to varying degrees of financial and physical pain while this debacle plays out.
As this is a plausible scenario, have local readers of Survival And Prosperity contemplated what's at stake should conditions keep deteriorating? What would be your personal exposure if events play out the way I expect them to? Financial vulnerabilities? Personal safety shortcomings? Individual circumstances will undoubtedly vary.
Are the wheels turning in your head?
Good. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with such posts.
The intent is not to scare. Rather, it's rooted in care.
It's my hope that informing Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois residents of the precarious situation at hand and providing food for thought might aid successful navigation through what will likely be unfamiliar territory for most.
Wishing everyone all the best with that,

Illinois Comptroller: State's Unpaid Bill Backlog To Exceed $10 Billion By Year End
I've been following the State of Illinois' unpaid bill backlog for some time now, and what State Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger shared yesterday should be of serious concern to Illinoisans. From her website:
CHICAGO- Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger on Thursday said the state's bill backlog will grow throughout the fall and Illinois will enter the New Year with approximately $10 billion in unpaid invoices, resulting in payment delays of at least six months.
The announcement follows last month's passage of a stopgap budget, which authorized payments that were being delayed due to the state's year-long budget impasse.
"While the stopgap is a positive step forward, it does not address our larger fiscal challenges. When we look at the numbers we are facing, the realities are sobering," said Munger, noting the state is on pace to spend $2.5 billion more than it takes in the next six months. "Those severe cash shortages mean my office will continue to perform triage to help those most in need and protect our most critical services."
"The realities are sobering"
And I'm certain they will eventually result in- wait for it- higher/new fees, fines, and taxes in conjunction with reduced government services for Illinois residents.
There's the real possibility of a big tax increase coming soon for Illinoisans. Consider the following from investment specialist and Illinois State Representative David McSweeney (R-Barrington Hills) on the website of the non-partisan, independent Reboot Illinois project on July 11:
The recent passage of a six-month unbalanced spending measure will worsen Illinois' financial problems and likely lead to a massive tax increase.
The approval of a stopgap measure is nothing more than a continuation of the status quo that has made Illinois insolvent. The stopgap bill is a spending plan, not a real balanced budget. Consider this: About 91 percent of state government spending was on autopilot during the budget stalemate. The state has been spending money at levels that are higher than authorized during Gov. Pat Quinn's administration. Spending continues to be out of control…
With the adoption of the stopgap measure, we are ensuring the state's financial problems will not be addressed anytime soon. Ultimately, we are guaranteeing that the state's financial health will get much worse, which will make it easier for a tax increase to build momentum in Springfield…

City Of Chicago's Total Unfunded Liabilities Grew To Nearly $24 Billion In 2015
It's been a while since I last blogged about the Illinois Policy Institute, a Chicago-based non-partisan research organization "generating public policy solutions aimed at promoting personal freedom and prosperity in Illinois." Yet earlier this week, Ted Dabrowski and John Klingner published a sobering piece on the Institute's website about Chicago's mounting financial woes that just needs to be disseminated. From their article:
Chicago property owners concerned about their future property-tax bills have had plenty to worry about over the past year- but a new report on the city's crumbling finances has all but ensured that property-tax hikes will continue to be a painful reality for local homeowners.
The city already passed a $700 million hike in October 2015 to help plug the hole in police and firefighter pensions, and the city is expected to raise property taxes by another $250 million to fund ailing Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, pensions. And with billions more in other health care and pension shortfalls still unfunded, more hikes are on the way.
But the newest debt numbers in the city's 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR, show that without massive pension reforms, the city's tax hikes are just beginning. The report found that the total city debt Chicagoans are on the hook for has more than tripled since 2014.
Chicago's total unfunded liabilities have jumped by over $17 billion, growing to nearly $24 billion in 2015 from $6.5 billion in 2014. The increase is mostly due to new accounting standards and the fact that in March the Illinois Supreme Court struck down the city's recent attempt to reform its broken municipal-workers and laborers pension funds.
Add to that their share of sister-government and Cook County pension and health care costs and long-term debt, and Chicagoans are on the hook for over $65 billion…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Disturbing stuff. But that's reality for you.
You know, last week I read an "interesting" anonymous comment on the popular Chicago police blog Second City Cop. From the July 7 post entitled "And There it is….":
Millennials as they are called are falling over themselves to move here. Look at Ukrainian village, Buck town south loop West loop, Lincoln Park. The city is becoming gentrified. Major companies are moving their headquarters here. City is on the upswing like it or not.
"City is on the upswing like it or not."
Never mind its financial cancer that's bound to metastasize in due time…

Chicago Targeted Friday By Anonymous 'Day Of Rage' Protest?
Earlier this week I read Internet chatter about the "hacktivist" group Anonymous coordinating national "Day of Rage" protests for Friday, July 15, in response to recent police-involved shootings.
Suspecting there would probably be some event planned for Chicago if this was "legit," I did some digging and observed that protesters are supposedly to meet at the Richard J. Daley Center (50 W. Washington St.) in the Loop at 6 PM tomorrow to kick off their "festivities."
The thing is, these "Day of Rage" protests might not even be real.
Jason Howerton reported over on TheBlaze.com earlier today:
Rumors that Anonymous, the infamous so-called "hacktivist" group, is planning a national "Day of Rage" on Friday to protest recent police-involved shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota are nearly identical to a false rumor that circulated in 2014…
Snopes reported the "Day of Rage" rumor is "virtually identical to one that was circulated two years earlier after the shooting of teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri."
In 2014, one of the group's affiliated accounts denied the "Day of Rage" plans…
On Wednesday, a different Anonymous account dismissed the rumor once again…
Further, the same list of supposed times and locations for so-called protests in 2016 was also released in 2014…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
All of this is starting to sound like one gigantic hoax. But should enough aspiring "Ragers" gather at one/a number of sites, who knows what might transpire in the "Windy City" and other cities Friday.

Active Shooter Drill At Chicago's Wrigley Field Thursday
While looking for the latest on Chicago's debt crisis from Fran Spielman (Chicago Sun-Times), I spotted this on the newspaper's website Wednesday afternoon:
One week after a lone gunman opened fire on police officers securing a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, emergency responders in Chicago will simulate an "active shooter" situation at Wrigley Field.
The emergency preparedness drill involving "simulated ammunition and flashbangs" will be held between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Thursday, prompting street closings around the stadium…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
Spielman reported Waveland Avenue, from Clinton to Kenmore, will be closed to both vehicle/pedestrian traffic while the exercise takes place. The drill will involve the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago Police Department, and the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC).

Project Prepper, Part 46: Summer Storm Gear Check
In the last installment of the "Project Prepper" series of posts, I talked about "threat priorities" and how severe weather is a top one for me. I blogged:
From my vantage point, here are the "top 3" I'm mostly concerned about:
1. Severe Weather
2. Financial Crisis
3. Terrorism
Concerning severe weather, here in the Chicagoland area residents have to contend with spring and summer storms that can consist of high winds, torrential rain, flooding, and tornadoes. Winter can bring along with it ice storms (not too often), significant snowfall/blizzards, and brutally-cold temperatures. Consequently, structural damage, utility outages, hazardous travel conditions, and other threats to life and property accompany such events.
Case in point, prior to my girlfriend and I moving into our house in 2013, a large part of the Chicago metro area suffered significant damage from a "derecho" (widespread, long-lived wind storm) event that left many area homeowners without electricity for several days. A real nuisance for most of those affected, but potentially deadly to those with serious health issues- like my elderly father. And in case readers think I'm talking about those far-off "suburbs" of Chicago here (I remember one real estate agent referring to Rochelle- approximately 80 miles west of Chicago- as a "western suburb" during the housing boom last decade), these extended outages were taking place in near "North Shore" enclaves. I remember watching one furious Northbrook homeowner being interviewed on the local televised news, saying how he had been without power for a number of days and couldn't understand why it hadn't been restored yet considering the high taxes he paid to live in such a nice area. Anyway, severe weather tops the list for me. Not as "sexy"- as some would say- as preparing for the "Zombie apocalypse," but oh well…
The other night the Chicago metropolitan area was hit by a strong summer storm in which the local news reported 15,000 residents lost power (actually somewhat of a small number compared to other recent severe weather events around these parts). The occasion served as a reminder that I should probably perform a gear check prior to the arrival of more summertime severe weather, which is the focus of today's post.
Emergency Alerts
I checked the operation and battery backup of my ever-vigilant Midland WR-100 Weather/All Hazards Alert Radio (now discontinued by the manufacturer but replaced with a newer model- the Midland WR-120). Everything is in working order. You should have heard the racket that device was making the other night (early morning actually) prior to/during that storm. Yeah, it's in working order all right.
Emergency Lighting
I gathered up the various lanterns, flashlights, and headlamps in the house set aside for emergency lighting (and day-to-day tasks as well) and checked the operation of all these devices. This included:
• Coleman Twin High Performance 8D LED Lantern (580 lumens)
• Rayovac "Virtually Indestructible" 3D LED Lantern (530 lumens)
• Rayovac Sportsman 3D LED Lantern (240 lumens)
• Maglite Heavy Duty 6D Incandescent Flashlight (136 lumens)
• Rayovac "Virtually Indestructible" 2D LED Flashlight (320 lumens)
• Rayovac "Virtually Indestructible" 3AAA LED Flashlight (250 lumens)
• Coast HL3 3AAA LED Headlamp (60 lumens) x 2
• Princeton Tec Fuel 3AAA LED Headlamp (43 lumens)
All but one passed inspection, with fresh batteries taking care of the holdout.
The Coast headlamps and Rayovac "Virtually Indestructible" lantern/flashlights are new additions to my emergency lighting stash, and have been working great when called upon to perform tasks around the house and off-site. Particularly those Rayovac products. These seem to be built really tough (rubber head/tail cap, aluminum titanium alloy body) and are incredibly bright. The free Rayovac batteries included with each device were a nice bonus as well.
I should also mention that in late spring, I lubricated threaded regions on the Maglite and Rayovac flashlights with Vaseline to protect threads and minimize "squealing."
In addition, some time ago my girlfriend received two stained-glass, programmable 3D LED wall sconces as a gift from her family. We mounted one of them in our second floor hallway and it functions really well as a night light- and emergency light that doesn't require power in the home to be on. To avoid burning through D-size alkaline batteries, I ordered a 6-pack of EBL 10,000mAh Ni-MH D-Cell Rechargeable Batteries from Amazon to partner with my trusty Rayovac PS3 Universal Smart Battery Charger. While one set (3 batteries) powers the wall sconce that's been installed, the other goes to the charger. I've only started this rotation quite recently, but so far the EBL rechargeable batteries have been performing quite well.
Emergency Cooling
Other devices I checked over include two dual-powered (batteries or included AC adapter) O2COOL 10-inch Portable Fans. These worked just fine. The portable fans should make extended power outages on hot summer days a little bit more bearable.
All of this gear is strategically-positioned around the house for fast access in an emergency (and for daily use).

Do you think $10 is going to happen?
Sure, probably not for quite a while, as in at least a year or more, but sure.
I don't think $10, except as a gross temporary overreaction. $15-$18 is where it belongs, once the speculators move on.
Very doubtful lol
I agree, SLV will find support around $37.50-$38.

The use of standardized and TCP/IP networked wireless technologies in line-powered and battery operated sensors and controls has led to the adoption of radios in the 2.4GHz band, including Wi-Fi, BT/BLE and 802.15.4 applied ZigBee and Thread. This is driving the need for robust wireless coexistence for multiple radios to ensure throughput performance and th...

I'm going to cry tonight, long and hard. I'll do so as I remember and mourn Jeremy Geelan. I knew Jeremy for almost 20 years, from the time he showed up one day at Cloud Expo's headquarters in Bergen County, New Jersey, and went to work. The show wasn't called Cloud Expo then, of course – it was still known as Java Edge, a pioneering event that grabbed developers, architects, and enterprise IT users alike for twice-yearly confabs. Jeremy didn't have a job there, or even a job offer. He was s...

All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud.

Scythe of Vyse
From Dota 2 Wiki
|Scythe of Vyse
|The most guarded relic among the cult of Vyse, it is the most coveted weapon among magi.
Bought From
For the cosmetic item equipped by Nature's Prophet, see Scythe of Vyse (Equipment).
The Scythe of Vyse, also known as Sheepstick, is an Item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Caster. However, it requires items from the Secret Shop to be completed.
Additional information[edit | edit source]
- One Scythe of Vyse grants a total of 200 health, 0.3 health regeneration, 1.43 armor, 10 attack speed, 420 mana, 1.4 (+ 150%) mana regeneration, 2.1875% spell damage and 10 (35 to intelligence heroes) attack damage.
Ability[edit | edit source]
Target Unit
Target Unit
Turns a target unit into a harmless critter for 3.5 seconds. Instantly destroys illusions.
- Applies a Hex on the target, setting its base movement speed to 140 and silencing, muting and disarming it.
- Because hex changes base move speed and does not actually apply a slow, all speed effects are calculated using the 140 base speed.
- For example:
- a hexed unit with no speed bonuses has 140 move speed
- a hexed unit with +8% from Yasha has 151.2 move speed
- a hexed unit with +45 from Boots of Speed has 185 move speed
- a hexed unit with both Boots of Speed and Yasha has 199.8 move speed
- Hex instantly destroys illusions, but not summoned units.
- Scythe of Vyse hex transforms the target into a pig.
Recommended heroes[edit | edit source]
- Heroes whose default item build includes Scythe of Vyse as a situational item: Ancient Apparition, Batrider, Dark Seer, Death Prophet, Necrophos, Outworld Devourer, Queen of Pain.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In the original DotA, this item was known as Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyse, as a tribute to one of the developers of DotA: Allstars, who went on to co-create League of Legends.
- This item is known by many players (and referred to by several in-game Heroes) as "Sheepstick" due to turning targeted heroes into sheep in DotA. However, in Dota 2, targeted units turn into a pig.
- Many heroes who have responses for buying Scythe of Vyse also call it "Sheepstick".
- The item's name may be a reference to the Sega RPG Skies of Arcadia. The main character, Vyse, has been depicted weilding a scythe in early concept art.

What Is It They Say About History? 0 commentsNov 13, 2013 11:08 AM
Analog Comfort - Currencies mostly consolidating declines against the buck into Wednesday, while US equities starting to show signs of potential topping yet again. Right now, we can't get overly excited with the very minor pullback in stocks, but a break below S&P 1740 should get the ball rolling. I have been waiting for the start of a major corrective pullback in equity markets and believe this move is just around the corner. Still, taking up residence in Camp Bearish has not been fun in recent months, and for the time being, it is a very lonely place to be. But there are some out there that share the same views and it is at least nice to know that I am not entirely alone. Zerohedge put out a great little piece on Tuesday, highlighting the power of analog analysis, and I would recommend that all of you take a look. Even if you don't agree, you would have to admit it is a compelling little read.
Subtle Breaks - Moving on, though we have seen no major moves in FX of late, there have been some notable developments which could be warning of a pickup in the buck's favor in the days ahead. While last week's EUR/USD break below 1.3460 got things going, more recently, Cable has taken out key support at 1.5895, now opening deeper setbacks into the 1.5500 area, while, AUD/USD and NZD/USD have managed to break down below some key multi-week lows, to expose a retest of the respective yearly lows. Another major pair in focus (also warning of USD strength ahead) is USD/JPY. However, things might be a little trickier in the short-term with this one. Technically, I still see USD/JPY locked within a multi-month triangle that has yet to be broken. My analysis shows triangle resistance at 100.00, and really only a break and weekly close above this level would officially open the door for a bullish breakout. Until then, proceed with caution and stand aside.Back To firstmacro's Instablog HomePage »

Don't roll your eyes. Fireplace videos are hot. In this popular version, a bundle of pine, eucalyptus, oak and walnut logs snap, crackle and pop with a ferocious roar that calls to mind the sound of a stallion stampede. Slightly disconcerting is the appearance of a man's hand and poker edging in occasionally from the right corner of the screen. It is there to stir the burning embers, not to pull your logs out of the fire. (The Video Naturals Co., 213-469-0019 or 800-526-7002, 60 min., $19.95.) The similar Fireplace TV (Relax Video, 212-496-4400, 60 min., $29.95) has brass andirons and more pop than fury. For a gas fire, no sound and campfire-scented incense (included with the tape), curl up beside Fireside Moments (Environmental Video, 213-322-1140 or 800-332-1140, 60 min., $29.95).

could septic tank be built with earthbag technology? please give necessary instructions,i'd be very happy...
Yes. Use full width bags (18" wide) filled with gravel below grade. Make it round for strength! Copy the plumbing on a conventional septic tank plus line it with cement plaster.
Yes. Use full width bags (18" wide) filled with gravel below grade. Make it round for strength! Copy the plumbing on a conventional septic tank plus line it with cement plaster.
Thank you so much for your beautiful instructables! We have been devouering every single aspect and it is very well structured :) We would like to build a small earthbag roundhouse on the island of Kauai (Hawaii) and were wondering what type of finish would be best to use for the pretty rainy situation here! Thank you so much for your pioneering work and help!
Thank you for your instructables. I want to get out of the rat race of working to pay for THE house with an earthbag round house. I live near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We get snow, freezing rain, temperature varies from -30 to +30 Celcius. The ground feezes up to 4' deep. Is an earthbag round house feasible? Providing the plumbing and the electrical work is up to code, do you know if the Ontario Building Code would allow for earthbag round house? Thanks :-)
It's far easier and less expensive to bypass all the codes and build in rural areas. Trying to build to code skyrockets the price about 10-fold, thus wiping out the savings.
Add thick insulation on the outside of the earthbag walls or build with straw bales for high R-value.
Hi Owen, I'm looking to built a couple of the earthbag round houses for a family in need in Hua Hin Thailand. I'm wondering, what was your experience in getting this project approved for construction in Thailand? Thank you. - Ron
There are no codes in most parts of Thailand except in the cities.

Find out exactly how much the wedding coordinator charges, and exactly what services you will be paying for. Some charge an hourly rate, while others bill a flat rate or percentage of the overall wedding cost. Most wedding coordinators ask clients to sign contracts; many also ask for deposits, which may be non-refundable. Elizabeth Allen recommends that a couple work with their wedding coordinator to draw up as detailed a contract as possible, specifying exactly what the coordinator's responsibilities will be. That way, they'll know exactly what's paid for, and there will be no last-minute surprises.
Be honest and realistic about your budget. Fees for wedding coordinators vary, but in general you can expect to pay somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of your total wedding cost. That may seem like a lot of money -- money you might prefer to spend on more flowers, music, and champagne for the reception. But think of it this way: A good wedding coordinator is like a good accountant. Even though you pay for her services, in the long run she saves you time and money. And that translates into a happier and more relaxed wedding day for you.

This might be my last stock to hold out the year or go long on. I finished buying in today after 3 months of research and chart watching. I was waiting for the earnings announcement that the company sees moving forward as positive. So I bought some yesterday and with the low volume got the rest of my shares higher (dang it) today. Due your DD I believe this will be an easy buck gain atleast.
Listened to the CC tonight and see definite progress although somewhat uneven.Outlook is for positive cash flow in Q42010 and return to profitable operations in 2011.If these occur, I believe we are talking about a four dollar share price based on 65 mil shares outstanding and sales/share in excessof eight dollars.specsit.I am long GBE.
Spec, I see your posting history shows you have some similar stock interests. What is your reason for buying IRE now? It seems hard to know what is really going on with IRE and the chart looks bad although very oversold.I have been looking at SKX since the recent drop. Also been watching STC.
Hi Eddy, I agree. I think it will really move once we get into January.

I am not a huge fan of breakfast casseroles, but this one is awesome. I bring it to potlucks and now serve it for our Christmas Eve breakfast. I even make this for dinner as well! So good!
Loved it, even had a guest ask for the recipe. Although I used bacon and added salt and it seemed a little too salty for my liking.
Made this Christmas morning using ham ad it was delicious. I liked that it didn't have bread in it like most casseroles of this type. I have a daughter with celiac's disease and she was able to eat it. I did have to increase the cooking time as the eggs weren't set when I checked it, but that wasn't a problem. Would definitely make again.
I made this casserole for Christmas morning breakfast, omitting the bacon/ham, just a personal preference. I would suggest though, if you omit this, adding in a bit more salt as the cooked casserole definitely needed it. Overall, the casserole was good and easy to prepare. When I make this again, I'll add in a bit more salt and the suggested onion powder.

Major in English
Aberystwyth, Wales
Aberystwyth is located on the beautiful shores of Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales. The town is set in unspoiled surroundings: the coastline to the north and south abounds in fine beaches, while inland expanses of rolling moorland are separated by the wooded valleys of the Ystwyth, Rheidol, Teifi and Dyfi Rivers. The mountains of Cader Idris and Snowdonia are within easy reach. The exchange allows students to enjoy this beautiful setting, while at the same time studying at one of the leading academic centers in Wales. Aberystwyth is home not only to the University but also to the National Library of Wales. In addition, exchange students will experience the unique collegial and communal atmosphere of "hall life."

Article – IT: Will women smash the glass ceiling?
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
The Independent ran an article today called IT: Will women smash the glass ceiling? Sarah Blow, founder of Geek Girl Dinners, was interviewed for the story. According to the article, Sarah says that "women are less likely to have the maths or science A-level that most computer science degrees require, and are far less likely to have any qualification at all in computing." Because there continues to be a skill shortage, companies are employing graduates from outside the field of IT.
The article says that conversion programs are springing up: "Nearly half the 45 students on a new MSc in financial computing at University College London this year are women, an unheard-of proportion in the department, where the average is 20 per cent. The 12-month course, promoted as a qualification for graduates of other disciplines, attracted nearly four times the number of students expected."
The article also offers a list of suggestions for women interested in moving into IT, such as join a networking group and volunteer to help out a charity with its IT system.
Yesterday, I met with the Technology Director at my daughter's school to discuss what IT opportunities are available to students. Of course, the school is far from being a charity, but what school couldn't use help in the area of technology? I have visions of geek-girl-type summer camps dancing in my head, and the school seems more than open to my input and enthusiasm.
My daughter, on the other hand, is not so thrilled with my participation at her school. She would prefer that I am seen (seldom) and not heard (ever). I can't help but be excited about her education, though, and I'm particularly thrilled that she recently admitted that she is enjoying Algebra.
I clapped when I heard this news, and she rolled her pre-teen-eyes and responded, "I'm not going to be a mathematician or anything, so you can kiss that dream good-bye. I'd rather dress up as a slice of pizza and wave at cars for a living." Surely there are other career options she should consider.comments powered by Disqus

text: Due to the significant participation of the Dominicans in the conquest of Peru, the Spaniards couldn't have chosen a better place to build the church of the order than over the base of the most important monument of the Tawantinsuyo: the Koricancha, which is the largest Indian temple to worship the Sun. According to the chronicles, it was one of the most magnificent constructions of the Incan Cusco. In the inner part, the precincts' walls, made of finely polished stone, were entirely covered with gold and silver sheets, idols and the representation of the sun. After receiving the old temple's plot during the lots distribution that took place in October 1534, Juan Pizarro, brother of the conqueror, ceded it to the Dominican congregation. The first prior of the convent was Friar Juan de Olías, who occupied this cloister together with a group of Mexican missionaries.

To give you examples of what's possible, here are some types of activities that you may consider:
You may have already done a lot of work around setting yourself up but it's good to check that your plans are well thought out. Take a look at the stages here which may help your planning process.
When planning a community activity, it's important to try to keep everyone involved as safe and injury-free as possible by taking measures to prevent or reduce the likelihood of accidents and ill health from happening. Health and safety considerations need not be a barrier to organising straightforward voluntary activities. By taking some simple steps and adopting a sensible, proportionate approach to planning and supervising your activities, you'll be able to enhance the experience for those involved without putting unnecessary restrictions in the way. It can also help reassure everyone concerned that your activities are well managed.
It's important to be aware of the legal obligations associated with running your group or activity to try to avoid laying yourself open to liability claims for something you have or haven't done. Here are some of the common things that you should consider or complete to help make your activity as safe and legal as possible.
However careful you are during your group or individual activity, accidents can still occur which is why it's sensible to protect yourself with insurance. Having the right insurance is likely to provide reassurance for any third parties you might interact with when planning and gaining permissions for your activities. There are a number of insurances available to community groups and individuals depending on what type of group you are and the activities involved.
Simply select your company's annual income to receive your quote for insurance.

Salty Dawg Rally and Ocean Cruising Club 'join hands' to promote goals
by Mike Martel on 12 Oct 2012
Salty Dawg Rally Co-founders (L-R) Linda and Bill Knowles, with Sid and Rebecca Shaw, USA Southeast Regional Rear Commodores of the Ocean Cruising Club. .
The Salty Dawg Rally, a 'grassroots' free cruising rally for blue-water sailors, and the Ocean Cruising Club (OCC), a distinguished international club for cruisers, announce an agreement to work with one another to promote common goals, following a meeting at the recent U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, MD.
Salty Dawg Rally (SDR) co-founders Bill and Linda Knowles and the OCC agreed to find ways to collaborate to promote safe, competent, enjoyable cruising of the world's oceans and ports of call. The Knowles met with Sid and Rebecca Shaw of the OCC in Annapolis; Sid and Rebecca are USA Southeast Regional Rear Commodores of the OCC.
'We're excited by the opportunity to work together with the globally-recognized premier cruising organization for blue-water sailors,' said Bill Knowles, co-founder of the Salty Dawg Rally. 'Both organizations are dedicated to promoting prudent seamanship, safe passage-making, and fostering a true cooperative spirit within the cruising community. We also share the requirement that our members be true blue-water sailors who have completed qualifying passages for membership. We're honored to work with OCC, whose distinctive blue and yellow burgee with a stylized Flying Fish is a welcome and respected sight in any
