How do I find someone to be my power of attorney?
I'm 57 year old female, alone, with numerous pretty stable underlying illnesses that pop up three or four times a year and require extended hospitalizations. Everyone wants me to go into an assisted living facility to handle my meds and daily assessments. The thing is, I don't want to do this as yet. I get some at-home care services which help. My family has all but walked away from me so as not to get involved. I can't even get one of them to agree to be a designee on the Directive. I really don't want a hospital doctor or stranger to make critical life or death decisions about me. Any suggestions would be grateful.
Expert Answers
While it must feel a bit lonely to be in your position, the truth is that you are far from alone: There are many people who can't find a person they know and trust or who is willing or able or well-suited to act as a medical agent and make decisions on final medical care for them.
Don't let that stop you from completing the rest of the medical directive—the part that used to be called a living will in many states and still goes by that name in a few. In fact, it is probably more important than ever for you to set out your own wishes for your medical care, as clearly and in as much detail as possible. If you need help with this, consult with the doctor you know and trust the most—or ask a patient representative at a local hospital for some pointers.
Even if you don't name a person to act as a medical proxy for you, putting your wishes in writing and getting them witnessed and in your file is still a very powerful step. If need be, an attending physician must honor those wishes—or find another doctor who will abide by them.

I am in the same boat that you are. My brother (the only family that I have) has turned his back on me, he is afraid that I might ask him for help. So I made my neigbhor who I trust with my life my power of attorney.
Having cared for one ourselves, we found out the hard way the hazards that can be thrust upon one. I tell people now to be careful, extremely careful due to the corruption within the County systems, and Dept. of Family and Children Services (DFCS). It can cost the caregiver everything they have, the family's inheritance (should the be any to become available), and possibly time in jail.
What happened to us, our aunt lived four houses away from our own. I was the caregiver, the nephew is 100% disabled and I am also his caregiver, he is my life-partner. We promised her that she could stay in her home as long as feasibly possible. I had been cooking all of her food for several years already. Besides, both James and I had grown up with elderly family members live at home until they passed away, so it wasn't anything that had to have a lot of thought behind it.
The problems arose due to an outside party thinking the aunt money, they wanted it. The aunt, 89 years old had suffered from a mild stroke and was going to therapy three days a week. She wanted to see no one until she better.
A person she had worked with, and stayed in contact with after retiring, became very pushy after hearing about the stroke. She insisted she wanted to visit, the aunt said no. It became a nightmare. In order for the lady to get back at the nephew, and ensure that she could get her hands on some money, the lady made a fictional claim made to DFCS that the aunt had fallen, was being kept against her will, etc.
The aunt, in the early stages of parkinson's or alzheimer's, was having memory problems, we found that she had been drinking rather heavily, which also caused some problems. The aunt got upset with me when I poured all the alcohol out. At 89, and having had a mild stroke, extreme osteoporosis, and legally blind, it would have been negligent to have allowed her to keep drinking.
Things blew up. With the mind of a child, the aunt believed that if she complained to her friend, her friend would take her to her house for a few days, James and I would be sorry, she would return to her home, and all would be right again. That did not happen.
DFCS had been friends with the County head Probate clerk for 18 years, they had a scheme that they worked. We are not the only victims this happened to. They have a mock hearing, appoint a county administrator as Emergency Guardian for a Gravely Incapacitated Adult, and they rob the elderly person or everything they have claiming it was going for her care.
A major problem with this particular instance, the aunt did not have money. It was a fabricated story she liked to tell people. I guess that they had gone in too far, they took the nephew and my assets with the help of several Wachovia employees.
The story goes on and on and on. No, we never recovered the $450,000 taken from us. It was all in stocks and Mutual Funds. The market continued to go down hill, and in the end, we ended up with nothing.
Until such time the Probate Courts in this state become honest (which will be never unless some major laws are written and enforced), I ask my friends to promise not to take care of an elderly person. For four years, we were tied up battling in courts trying to straighten the mess out. Since we had no assets left for attorney's fees, we were forced to represent ourselves. The courts hate pro se litigants, and fighting Wachovia is impossible without an attorney. Fighting against DFCS, County anything, Probate Court and it's clerks, forget it they have immunity.
Now, we can barely make a house and insurance payment. And why? Because a loving little old lady that we cared for too much.
By the way in the guardianship hearing, she admitted that she got three hot meals a day and everything she asked for, "even the Football package on Directv".
The nephew had been assigned her Power of Attorney through an irrevocable Durable Power of Attorney with an Interest four years before this incident began. There was a Will on file at the county for 11 years, but a new Will was accepted without a hearing.
There is a lot of this going on around the country. People or family taking advantage of elderly relatives and care givers also. I as well as my brother lost over $200,000 to a greedy sister that took her sister into her house long enough to convince her to transfere money from an account that was from my dad to her general account of which is where she could get her hands on it and then put her back into the assisted living apt. she had before. When her sister died my brother and myself recieved the original amount that started the account and for 30+ years in that account the interest was transfered. When we went to the funeral her sister accepted us with open arms and of course she would, she just took all our money. The lord will take care of her and will not let her through the pearly gates and show her the stairs down. There is just way too many people like that and they will find out it was wrong. I am sorry for your loss and God Bless you all.
And there lies the problem Nootkabear. You made a decision you had no right to make. While drinking at any age is a bad idea, you do not take another's right to do so away. As well meaning as you might have meant to be, you were dead wrong to take away anything from her that brings her comfort. I smoke. I have COPD, but I still work everyday and plan on being around for another 10 years. I will decide when to give up my cigarettes. Not my family, not my hudband and not some dweeb who thinks he is doing me a favor. When my disease progresses to a point of pain and I feel a couple of shots will comfort me, anyone, and I mean anyone, who feels they can physically take it away, better be big enough to get the backlash that comes with it. This is a huge problem with people who use "well intentioned" to mean I am in control and you are my controlee. Sounds like you have a double dose of it. Glad your not my nephew's life partner (which by the way makes you nothing related no matter how hard you try). While you sound like very much the victim here.....Probate and all....That happens in this state too. When the state is called to do the job it costs. And like all other care agencies, they get thiers up front and first. Depending on how long they predict her to live, tht's the cost. For what ever reasons you and disabled nephew lost all those stocks and bonds...they might have not rightly belong to you to begin with..as is often the case. One lefted hand decision, to take away her comfort, when you probably promised you never would, cost you. Seen it happen 100 times. someone had a problem with your methods or DFACS would never have gotten involved.
I had a friend who was in this situation, and her clergy person agreed to be her medical power of attorney.
To Tea McAlpin.
So... You are telling me to take a 90 year old lady who is on blood thinners, has high blood pressure, has suffered a mild stroke, whose bones are crushing under their own weight, cannot walk straight on a good day, and who is suffers extreme osteoporosis and I should have let her drink all she wanted? You are irresponsible as hell! Aunt Jean lived alone, 4 houses from ours, we could see her house. But... you are saying that at 90 with all her ailments, all the risks of living in a split-foyer home (yes, stairs!) and let her do as she pleases when it comes to drinking. She
Aunt Jean had one of those Companions for Life (press the button for help) and I could be at her house from a dead slepp in under 3 minutes. That is what she wanted. And... we didn't insist that she not drink until she had the stroke. She refused to go into a home, and we did the best we could... but I could not risk going down there, finding that she had fallen with her bones so brittle the doctor said she would break like pieces of glass if she fell. A few years earlier, she had already fallen and broken her hip.
So, before you get so critical of me....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------Tea McAlpin,
Just one more thought... As crabby as you are, I would imagine that they will be giving you all the things that will help to end your misery much sooner, I know I would.
Tea McAlpin,
Where do you come off "judging" nootkabear's actions? I, for one, would be extremely gratefull to have someone helping me. Caretakers cost a LOT of money. I also believe that family members, who do not come around to help when I am sick, might not honor my requests.
To return to the "original" question-I am 60 and live alone, and am on disability and I, too, have had a difficult time trying to get a POA for both healthcare and financial. I have not decided for the financial part, yet. I named 3 people for the healthcare--so that I would have something "in writing" should I become incapacitated. Asking someone to take on these positions is a daunting responsibility for that person. I do believe that he/she must truly know YOUR wishes. I, too, am alone. It is not only very "isolating" but it's difficult for me to make ssome of these decisions when I am not feeling well. I empathize with "anonymous", and feel I am in the same boat. I appreciate the answers given by the other posts.
I am looking for answers also. My prayers are with you-
My appologies to you all. I had no right to judge anyone this harshly. You are correct it does take a boat load of money and patience and a mound of other things to care for someone who is ill and aging. I wish you all well in your endevors.
To anonymous, I do feel for you and your problem, but..this is the problem we are faced with today. Money, health, and trust are words that just don't go together anymore concerning many people entrusted to care for us in old age if greed is also a factor. As far as being crabby, yes I may very well be crabby but I have reason too. I deal with Nootkabear's all the time. "I deserve this because I did this for you and you owe me." It is like an investment to them and I for one am sick of it. Why should a lady, 90 years old, who would like a cocktail or two and probably has had for years be made to stop? Because she had a stroke? No..she could tell a friend she was unhappy so it rules that out. Most physicians will not tell a person 90 y/o to stop drinking due to the problems associated with withdrawl! She could and did speak for herself and now the "inheritance" is gone? Everything is someone elses fault? This is why it is so hard to find a medical/financial POA who will do as you state. I for one will make my own arrangements as far as I can for as long as I can so someone like Nootkabear cannot come along and put me out of his misery. And since that is out there...you wonder why people are releived of caring by the courts? Please make sure your wishes are known and your POA agrees to enforce them. The person above stated her clergy was her POA. Maybe you can find something with that advice. Again I am sorry for offending anyone. You can butter bread any way you want, but that slice is upside down.
Tea Alpin-
This is anonymous. Thank you for your response. I agree with you about "greed". I think we live in different times. You are "entitled" to your choices---whatever those choices may be. The difficulty, as I feel it, is finding someone when I will no longer be able to "tell anyone" what I want. It is sad when I hear of so many people -family included-that just want your money, etc. I am from the "old school" where you were taught not to steal, lie, or cheat. I wish you, and the others here, well and that answers can be found, so that no sick person is taken advantage of. I watch who treats me well, even though I am sick, because I believe those are the people I can "trust". I, also, want "my wishes" carried out---I have discussed this with my doctor, who has a copy of my directives in his medical record, and named Three people--in descending order-as POA's, so more than one person knows.
I too must apologize, I usually don't get my fur up so easily... Bad time of year I guess. What I should say also is that we loved Aunt Jean very much, and even after she passed away, we have tried to do what is right by her. Someone, someday will have to stand up for what happened to her. I know the last thing we ever heard about her while she was still living, was that she was crying and telling someone that family hadn't even bothered to look for her. That is another one of the lies they told her to control her. We called every "home" in GA, even the ones that are private, inside of another's home. Couldn't find her. We had our attorney inquire, the people that had her said no, they wouldn't give up her location.
She was cremated and buried before we found out she had passed away. No family from GA to Wisconsin was told she had passed. They buried her in a place she swore she didn't want to be laid to rest, she was supposed to go back to Wisconsin to be sprinkled in the Wolf River where her other family members were laid to rest.
We still love her very much!
I would find the name and phone number of the bank manager and insist he recognize the problem. "If" he did not help you, ask for the owner of the bank and his phone number.

Today we are thrilled to announce that over 1 million students now have 24-hour access to Digital Theatre Plus - which is double the amount of students that had access just six months ago.
This huge growth means that we are now streaming West End theatre to educational institutions in 26 countries across the globe - from homeschools in California, to universities in New Zealand. Every single student is now able to take a virtual seat in the front row of some of the UK's leading theatres.
Much of Digital Theatre Plus' growth is attributed to partnerships with other leading educational organisations including Pearson, the world's leading learning company; JISC Collections, who work on behalf of UK higher education and further education to champion the use of digital technologies; and the International School Theatre Association (ISTA), who are committed to providing high quality experiences that develop creative learning and internationalism through theatre.
Today also marks the announcement of a partnership between Digital Theatre Plus and AQA. AQA is an education charity and a leading provider of qualifications and support for teachers and students, and will now be promoting the ways in which Digital Theatre Plus can be used as a tool to improve the teaching of GCSE and A-Level English qualifications. You can read more on that story here.
These partnerships mean Digital Theatre Plus is able to reach all levels of education, complementing the teaching of a variety of Drama and English qualifications including GCSEs, A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate and BTECs.
Fiona Lindsay, Creative Producer, Digital Theatre Plus comments:
To have reached more than 1 million students around the world is a great success, not only for Digital Theatre Plus but for the theatre industry as a whole. In bringing theatre directly to students, using a medium they are familiar with, we are in a unique position to share the wonder and value of the performing arts with a hugely diverse range of students, many of whom otherwise have little or no access to theatre. Students using Digital Theatre Plus may well go on to become the theatre makers of the future, and we look forward to expanding our resources to support their learning.
Marilyn Fordyce, Information Resources Manager, University of Otago Library (Dunedin, New Zealand) explained:
While the individual films in Digital Theatre Plus are of specific interest, it is the whole package of the database that appeals. The 'behind the scenes' insights deliver added value to the study of theatre and the study guides assist students to gain further understanding of plot, character, language, historical context and the authors.

JMR gets down and dirty at Moonlight trail clean-up
Jeeping Mid Rivers
Perfect weather and a great turn-out of volunteers yielded the JMR trail clean-up at Moonlight Racing Outdoor Recreation Park in Sullivan, Missouri an outstanding success! Twenty-two volunteers showed up to roll up their sleeves and dig in the trenches of the winding trails for our trail clean up event on Saturday, February 20th.
Extreme Terrain granted Jeeping Mid Rivers $350 for trail cleanup. The grant allowed JMR to purchase hand pruners, gloves, loppers and provide lunch for our 22 volunteers. The group managed to trim back and clean a total of 8 trails, collecting a mountain of trash! JMR donated two trash barrels to the park, setting what we hope to be a trend amongst off-road groups.
After a day of hard work, the group enjoyed a little play time on some of the awesome trails and terrain.
Thank you to all of our volunteers on helping to make this event a success!
It helps me in many ways.Thanks for posting this again. Thanks a million and please keep up the effective work Thank you so much for sharing this kind of information.

pls have some expeirence or what youve heard. love dont pay the bills and lifes not a fairytale
Most Helpful Girl
So sounds like you're a middle class guy marrying a very poor person. And you care about your financial situation. AND you're sensitive about it. Which is exactly why this question has even come to your mind. It's probably not the first time, and it won't be the last.
Don't do it. You'll ruin both your lives.
I would guess (hopefully I'm not right) that you have some underlying issues. I would suggest counseling, except that guys usually hate it.
If you were a rich person marrying a middle class, AND you weren't sensitive about money (some extra rich people are), I would say go ahead, it was low risk and there wouldn't be anything you couldn't solve.
Life is hard. Human desires are limitless. Don't joke with yourself and someone else's life. Your parents are still dependant on you financially. You only get one chance to live a full, happy, long, and comfortable and enjoyable life.
Technically I think your finances won't be able to stretch far enough.
It would be better if you married someone equally rich at the very least. I'm sure you could both find other partners with whom you would be equally happy, yet be a better financial fit. She would need someone who's at least financially confident and comfortable.
Finances are no joke. Life can throw you just one curved ball. We get old sooner than we expect. Our energy and patience is depleted. Economy crashes. Healthcare is super expensive.
Don't abandon each other. Help each other find a better match.
Be wise.
P. S. If you absolutely can't be torn apart, then go ahead and do it.
Still I recommend counseling, or at least see a financial advisor before you do anything. Take responsibility for your relationship starting right now. Make a financial plan for your life, supposing you are married. It will be a good exercise to help you prepare for your future life.
If your relationship is strong enough to support such discussions, you'll have a better chance at marital bliss. If it's not,,, then...10|10|0

Butternut Squash Brown Rice Risotto
Italian ancestors everywhere may be rolling over in their graves, but I found a way to enjoy risotto, without all of the guilt! This creamy side dish stars instant brown rice for faster cooking and butternut squash, perfect for this time of the year. Take a peak into your pantry - you may already have everything you need!
1 ½ tablespoons butter or butter substitute, such as I Can't
Believe It's Not Butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, diced (about ¼ c)
3 cup instant brown rice
3 cup butternut squash, diced into ½-inch cubes (about 12 oz)
4 cups reduced sodium chicken or vegetable
¾ cup shredded parmesan cheese
½ cup frozen peas
salt + pepper
Here's How:
1. Add the stock to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. You can also place the chicken stock in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup and warm for 2 minutes.
2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and butternut squash and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice, and cook another 3 to 5 minutes, to slightly toast the rice.
3. Bring the heat down to medium-low. Add 1 cup of the chicken stock, stirring until the rice absorbs the stock. The stock should be at a simmer. Add another cup of stock, stir until the rice absorbs most of the stock, and repeat with a third cup of stock. Stir in the fourth cup of stock, cover the pan and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes., until most of the liquid is absorbed.
4. Turn off the stove. If the risotto seems dry, stir in ½ cup of water. Taste for salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese and frozen peas, and serve.

Americolor Airbrush Coloring Not Drying
Decorating By FudgeQueen Updated 15 Aug 2009 , 4:26pm by Caths_Cakes
Hi,newbie here....I am making my first baseball cap cake and in order to get the right shade of navy blue color of the Yankees decided to paint it with the Airbrush color (Navy Blue)as opposed to coloring the gumpaste...(just couldnt get the right shade of blue by doing so).
So my problem is...it has been 2 days and the color is not drying. I did 2 thin coats and it is still sticky....
Is there any way to get it to dry quicker? I have to give to my friend tomorrow for his birthday...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advanvce
Are you talking about actual painting in on with a brush using airbrush colors or spraying the color on with the airbrush? Let it sit between coats to dry...sometimes a few hours.
Have you allowed the cake to sit out in the air? if youve covered it, it will sweat and not dry. Leave it open to let the air get at it.
Thanks guys,although the cake was already finished before anyone responded (cake posted in my gallery), I ended up using a blow dryer set on the cool setting just to speed up the drying time...It was quite humid here during the 3 days that the painting took place so i figure thats why it took so long to dry and yes I used the Americolor airbrush color to paint on the color.(dont have an airbrush machine yet. ) Can you recommend one for a newbie?
Is it better to use the gelpaste colors for a painting job? Should i have added some vodka to coloring to speed up the drying time? Please let me know what you would have done so i can be better prepared for next time.....Thanks for your expertise and assistance in this.
i only use the gelpaste colours and always mix it with vodka, and ive never had an issues, as long as you leave each coat to dry on its own, it shouldnt take more than a couple of hours to be finished x

Same old story as Farnham chase game
By Farnham Herald in Football
FARNHAM TOWN 2, ABBEY RANGERS 3 (Combined Counties Premier League)
FARNHAM played good football in spells, but when their form dipped Abbey Rangers took full advantage and the end result was a third defeat in four games for Paul Tanner's side.
Town had lost 3-0 at Colliers Wood in midweek and looked to be heading for another heavy defeat when Abbey led 2-0 after little more than 20 minutes.
The first goal came from a debatable free-kick, with centre-forward Patrik Ruzicka allowed to turn and hit a shot which Richard Ossai got a touch to, but could prevent finding the bottom corner.
Farnham were falling short in their defensive play and their hesitancy was again punished by the visitors as Alex Hendrie doubled the lead.
Town realised they had to raise their game and some much better attacking play down the middle earned them a corner. Abbey initially cleared their lines, but Farnham put the ball back in and after a ricochet off the keeper, club captain Darren Wilson was there to snap up the chance; 2-1 in the 34th minute.
It's been a familiar pattern this season, Farnham chasing the game and playing their best football in the second half. It happened again as Town stormed out after the break and equalised within seven minutes.
Jack Dillon and Steve Ramsden linked up in an excellent move and it was Ramsden who provided the emphatic finish.
Unfortunately, it's also been typical of Farnham's play that after getting back on level terms, they have been naive in the defensive areas. This time, it was George Spiers who gave away a penalty and Ruzicka converted for his second goal.
There was ample time for another comeback, but Abbey, unlike the home side, remained secure at the back and played out for a victory that lifts them to eighth in the table.
"We're ten points above the relegation zone and I'm confident we will still be playing Premier League football next season," said manager Tanner.
Farnham host AFC Hayes this weekend. On Tuesday, they travel to Horley Town.

Justin Miller, guitar and mandolin: Home
Dear Friends:
My BRAND NEW album "ANGELINA" has just been released!
"Angelina" includes 14 Latin instrumental pieces featuring my work on pianos, organ, synths, guitars and mandolins.
It is NOW available on iTunes and Amazon and at CD Baby for the round, silvery CD.
Please note that "Angelina" is not listed under "Justin Miller" but under my nickname "JUD MILLER" simply because it is unlike the live shows I have given over the last 25 years and I do not want to mislead anyone. Happily, most folks who have heard "Angelina" believe it to be the best work I have ever done, live or on record!
Justin's shows feature virtuoso guitar performances in a wide variety of styles including bossa nova, Celtic and classical. In a typical concert, Justin's first selection might be a Brazilian samba followed by a suite of Irish jigs, a Bach minuet, or Justin's unique simulation of bluegrass banjo played on one of his striking, unique nylon string guitars.
When performing on mandolin, Justin's concert repertoire includes Scottish and Irish fiddle tunes, Baroque classics and Italian opera themes, mixed with musical quotations from Beethoven, Grieg or Gershwin.
Justin's electric guitar set might feature a blazing take on Les Paul's "Guitar Boogie", a dramatic version of the Faure´"Pavane" or a laid-back suite of surf-rock hits.
And then there are the wonderful behind-the-music stories about songwriters and performers. One reviewer termed Justin "one of the great storytellers. . . an American treasure."

A senior United Nations official says more than 7,500 people have died in Syria since security forces launched a crackdown on dissent last March.
Under-Secretary-General for political affairs Lynn Pascoe said there were "credible reports" the toll often exceeded 100 civilian deaths per day.
Syrian forces pounded residential areas in Homs and elsewhere yesterday, killing scores, activists reported.
Meanwhile, a UK journalist hurt in Homs last week, was smuggled to safety.
The UN's new estimate of the number of deaths came at a meeting of the UN Security Council.
The Syrian government says at least 1,345 members of the security forces have been killed combating what it calls "armed gangs and terrorists", and puts the number of civilians killed at 2,493.
Meanwhile, in Washington, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that President Bashar al-Assad fitted the definition of a war criminal.

Do you feel like you save money doing this? I'm sure it's so nice to buy in huge quantities, but I'm sure it costs a lot too. Just wondering if you're getting just more food for more money, or maybe a little more food for a little less money. Like as compared to sales at grocery stores. I can usually buy butter for $2.oo on sale, but it's been tough latley, and Walmart's price just went from $2.12 to $2.78. I'm scared!
Thanks for any input!
There's always a tradeoff between convenience and cost. Restaurant supply stores typically have the lowest prices on bulk products, we buy things like flour (50 lb for $14) and shortening (50 lb of Sweetex for $60) in bulk, but we buy powdered sugar in 4 lb packages since they are convenient when making small batches of frosting.
If you use specialty flours, the savings at the restaurant supply stores can be insane...we buy 50 lbs of rice flour (from General Mills) for ~$20. Buying the same amount in the supermarket would be more than five times more expensive.
There's no question that buying in bulk is significantly cheaper in the long run, as long as you can use the ingredients before they go bad and you have enough space to store them. Then again, looking at the total cost structure of your products, the cost of ingredients should be a relatively small percentage.
I'm curious; which supply stores do you use? Do have to be licensed to buy items there?
We do most of our shopping at Restaurant Depot ( http://www.restaurantdepot.com/ ), they do require a business license. For hard-to-find items we buy directly from BakeMark, a regional distributor. We also shop at local Cash & Carry stores, Costco, and Smart & Final.
You also have to measure just how much you use. It's not a cost savings if you end up throwing half of it out because it got too old to use.
Here's an example. I used mini M&M's in my cookies and I bought them by the regular bag at Walmart. My Sysco sales rep gave me a price for them and I did the math. (Debi Does Data!! )
If I bought thru Sysco, I'd have to buy a 25-lb bag. holy crap, do you know how long that would last me? That was concern #1 ..... space to store it and making sure it got used before they got too old.
but when I ran the numbers, if I bought 25 lbs in the small bags from Walmart, it would be $12 cheaper than buying in bulk in the 25 lb bag from Sysco. Not only did I save money, but I also saved storage space and helped cash flow. (I know, it's only $12 but whether it's $12 or $1200, the concept and convenience/cost factor argument is the same.)
be sure to do the math. Sometimes buying in bulk can bite you in the behind!.
We haven't done much buying in bulk yet, but I have been wondering about this too. Thanks for the advice Debi, that's good to know!
I don't recall ever seeing any of our regular ingredients at a grocery store or Walmart for less than our restaurant supply store...ironically, the regional distributor we use for hard-to-find items (BakeMark) is sometimes more expensive than local bulk retailers.
Items that double as impulse consumer purchases (like the M&Ms in Debi's example) will sometimes be cheaper at smaller retailers if they are heavily discounted or being run as loss leaders. Most ingredients do not fit into this category.
It's still a valid point though, before you commit to a bulk purchase make sure you've done your research on the price points available at other retailers. Don't forget online retailers, Amazon's grocery section is the cheapest provider for quite a few of our ingredients.
Thank you so much for all the replies! Can't believe how much I learn here on Cake Central! Thanks Debi! I always hope I'lll be lucky enough that you'll reply to one of my threads!
jasonkraft you are so correct that these M&M's were the exception to bulk buying, but it's a good example of why we still ahve to do the math.
I did forget to add that if I DID use M&M's in that kind of qty, it would have been WELL worht the extra twelve bucks to have 25 lbs delivered to me in one shot as opposed to me carrying 25 lbs worth out of walmart!
What I unsuccessfully meant to say in the earlier post was that while price is our main concern, we also need to be aware of potential waste, storage costs (square footage is money!), and convenience factors when determining what our "best" price is with a vendor.
Does anyone ever buy baked cakes? I have not but i know someone that does and she is honest about it, she buys them frozen, by the case. she makes her own fillings etc, but how do you do that and where? she is in a different state, I'm in CA and I do not know that any where really sells frozen layer cakes do they? I might do this in a pinch if i had to!
she buys them frozen, by the case.
I might do this in a pinch if i had to!
It would probably be easier to bake them yourself in a pinch, or find a grocery store that would sell what you need unfinished. Your friend buys them by the case because she's able to meet the minimum order requirement to purchase wholesale. Do you have a walk-in freezer with space for 40 or so cases? (if so, there are cake wholesalers in CA.)
@kimmerly I know that the Sams club here on the east coast sells frozen cake layers by the case, but only in chocolate, white and marble
I too shop at Restuarant Depot but you have to know your prices. Flour is cheaper there but butter(which has gone thru the roof lately) is cheaper at my local Costco. You can shop at RD with a social security number if you don't have a tax id number (think sole propertiership)
I can usually buy butter for $2.oo on sale, but it's been tough latley, and Walmart's price just went from $2.12 to $2.78.
Here in California, you can buy 4 lbs of butter for less than $8.00 at Costco
2 weeks ago, 4 lb of butter at Costco was $6.79. Not anymore, it is over $8

Obviously, you didn't buy your 5000 Quattro unless you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one vehicle. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck. You picked your 5000 Quattro because its sporty handling and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Anyone who owns a Audi knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The lifeblood of the air conditioning system is a refrigerant called R134a. The refrigerant emits cold air after a simple thermal reaction, and it tends to accumulate moisture as it cycles through the HVAC system in your Audi 5000 Quattro. Between your A/C condenser and the expansion valve is the receiver drier, and it absorbs the water in the line and stores it in a desiccant so the refrigerant can cool your interior. Whenever you disconnect any of the A/C hoses on your car or truck, you must change your Audi 5000 Quattro A/C receiver drier or accumulator.
Buying new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 5000 Quattro parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Audi 5000 Quattro part for your project or repair. Don't let a A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best replacement parts. When it comes to Audi 5000 Quattro A/C Receiver Drier & Accumulator parts, you can find them for 1988, 1987, 1986 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Feeling moody or depressed? Too much light in your bedroom at night could be to blame, say scientists. Exposure to even the dimmest light while you're asleep - such as a night light, street lighting or the glow of a TV screen - could be enough to affect your brain.
It's all linked to a hormone called melatonin, which your brain produces when it's dark to prepare your body for sleep. But even the slightest amount of light interferes with melatonin production, the scientists claim.
After eight weeks of tests they discovered changes in the brains of the hamsters who were exposed to dim light at night, specifically changes in a part of the brain called the hippocampus. Earlier studies suggest the hippocampus is involved in depression - for instance, the hippocampus is smaller in depressed people than in those who aren't depressed.
So the scientists decided to check by giving the hamsters sugar water to drink - a real treat for a hamster, apparently. The hamsters that had been exposed to light at night had lost their taste for sugar water, which suggests a loss of enjoyment (a major symptom of depression called anhedonia).
The reason for the changes in the hippocampus isn't clear, but it appears to have something to do with the reduced production of melatonin, say the researchers.
If you're having problems sleeping, there are natural remedies for insomnia you could try.

Global drilling and engineering contractor, KCA Deutag, has announced that it has sold its jack-up drilling unit, the Ben Rinnes, to an integrated energy and services company for an undisclosed sum.
Built in Clydebank, Scotland in 1973 and acquired by KCA Deutag in 2005, the Ben Rinnes was under contract offshore Angola until February of this year. The ABS Classed Marathon Le Tourneau MLT 53-S enhanced rig has been stacked in Gabon since then.
Norrie McKay, KCA Deutag CEO says, "Whilst the sale of the Ben Rinnes is an important milestone for KCA Deutag as it is our last asset in our mobile offshore drilling fleet, we continue to maintain the competence and experience required to support offshore drilling unit operations. This expertise is currently supporting the construction and start-up of two Category J jack-up rigs which will commence operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf next year."

Two vehicles which are currently celebrating their 30th year certainly share some similarities: they both have four wheels; they're both front-wheel-drive; they're both available in a special edition equipment line to mark 30 years since 1984; they both feature 6-speed automatic transmissions; they're both priced from the teens to the mid-thirties. In special edition trim, they both feature unique seat material and some badging just underneath the wing mirrors.
But the things which separate them are more obvious than the things which unite the 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary and the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Edition 30.
There's the whole 7-seat versus 5-seat thing; sliding doors versus front-hinged doors; the big V6 versus a small four-cylinder turbo. One is a Detroit-badged minivan built by what is now an Italian (Dutch?) company operating in Canada, across the river from Detroit. The other, the subject of this review after a week in GCBC's safe keeping, is a Mexican-built, German-badged sedan.
Balance of mature sportiness
Feels like 235 horsepower
Joyful noise
Seat comfort
All-around visibility
Costs a pretty penny
Out-of-date infotainment system
Speedo digits too close together
Not overly Q-car
Virtually pointless LATCH system
Indeed, times have changed, but both vehicles have the capability of causing onlookers to wax nostalgic. I spent many of my formative years in the back of a Chrysler minivan. They were quite compact on the outside yet so vast inside. Power doors? Not a chance - none of the rear windows did anything more than vent.
This GLI, on the other hand, is yet another manifestation of what Volkswagen has always done best: surprisingly quick and practical small cars. Your parents drove a Caravan, and you perhaps recall it fondly, but you wished they'd had fewer kids so you could have been chauffeured in the back of a Golf GTI or a GTI with a trunk, the Jetta GLI.
Minivans have come a long way. The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary is a people-carrying behemoth with five seats that fold into the floor and 283 horsepower. Through the first two months of 2014, it's also Canada's third-best-selling vehicle.
Ignore comparisons between the car you see here and the 90-horsepower Jetta GLI of 1984, however, and forget (if you can) this car's direct predecessor, the more Golf GTI-like fifth-generation Jetta GLI.
This GLI Edition 30 is not a minivan. It's not a MY1984 car, nor is it a MY2006 car. It's a sixth-gen Jetta, and it works hard to show just how good a sixth-gen Jetta can be.
That's by no means a simple commentary regarding its excellent on-road dynamics or the fact that it looks better than other Jettas. Inside, from the soft-touch plastic atop the dashboard to the finely-stitched leather wheel to the mode by which climate controls are turned, this is more a Volkswagen for Volkswagen lovers. When Volkswagen introduced this much less costly A6 Jetta for 2011, the biggest round of complaints were reserved not for its bland exterior but for its cabin's material quality. That's not a fair complaint in this GLI. (Neither was it a complaint that held buyers back, as Jetta volume rose to record levels.)

Base price refers to Edition 30.
GLI starts at $29,685.
Jetta starts at $16,385.
There are niggling issues inside. As in other Volkswagens, the speedometer's numbers are too closely aligned, meaning there aren't nearly enough millimetres of distance between 80 kmh and 100 kmh. Look twice.
Speaking of 1984, the infotainment unit isn't complicated, but it sure doesn't represent progress in the car/tech universe.
And though it's a sensation generated by the optional exterior and nothing more than a subjective impression, this Tornado Red GLI with its Edition 30-specific Watkins Glen 18-inch wheels actually causes passers-by to do a double take, which defeats much of the Jetta GLI's sleeper appeal. In black, with the GLI's normal 17-inchers or the optional 18-inch Bathursts, a GLI flies way under the radar while still looking classy.

By modern standards, Volkswagen's 2.0T doesn't imbue performance cars with the kind of power they need in order to be considered fast cars, at least not at this output level. But modern standards - 252-bhp Focuses and 290-bhp Hyundai Santa Fes - have skewed our thinking. This car has more than enough power to get you into trouble, and in part because it's so torquey, it feels a lot more like a car with 230-240 horsepower than one with 210. The 2.0T's sound also inspires the driver to delve into the wide power band more often than necessary just to hear the braaaap.
Nor does the 2014 Jetta GLI tackle corners like a Focus ST or the Golf R GCBC reviewed last winter. That's not to say it won't outhandle every non-performance-oriented compact and midsize car available, because it will, and it will do so with a level of engagement from the steering and seat cushion that's missing in the non-Si Civic Coupe we're testing this week. Yet more importantly, the GLI's relatively high level of handling prowess is matched - exceeded, in fact - by its ability to cosset during a Sunday afternoon cruise around town with the grandparents and baby in the back seat.
While not catering to an enthusiast who wants an outright track monster with from-the-factory autocross potential, Volkswagen has perfectly tuned the 2014 Jetta GLI Edition 30's suspension to satisfy enthusiasts with its all-around, everyday appeal. It's a car that will accelerate to 100 kmh in a good bit less than seven seconds, but it's also a car that consumed just 7.7 litres per 100 km (31 U.S. mpg) during a cold week of sometimes aggressive driving. It offers a measure of quietness and luxury for five occupants and their cargo, but the GLI is also a car that genuinely wants to be driven with purpose. Weight has been kept in check, and it has become an agile and typically solid German car with an appetite for Sunday evening blasts up the coast.
For striking such an impressive balance, Volkswagen wants to be handsomely rewarded. Our test car rang in at $35,640.
GLIs don't need to be this expensive, of course, if you're willing to sacrifice the Edition 30's special bits, a technology package that includes an excellent Fender audio system, the direct-shift gearbox, and big wheels.

At cruising speed in the preparation of the 2016 season, Vale da Rosa will once again invest in the modernization of the facilities dedicated to the table grape packaging. We have projected the installation of the weighing MARCO system in 100 percent of the pack house lines, the acquisition of another thermo sealing machine, one more flow pack machine, and the restructuring of the whole cooling system in the area where the grapes are prepared. A total investment of more than 700 thousand euros.
Aware of the growing demand for packaged products, Vale da Rosa is preparing to respond effectively to the customer demands during the season ahead.
Following the investments made in 2015, with the introduction of weighing MARCO system in the packaging lines and, given the excellent results in terms of productivity, the same technology will be applied to the entire pack house contributing to greater profitability of the processes.
We are also going to make improvements in the working lines system allowing greater flexibility as well as the optimization of procedures.
The investment also extends to the restructuring of the whole cooling system in the packaging facility that will allow a reduction of the total area temperature to about 12 degrees centigrade, thereby ensuring a significant improvement in the operating conditions of the grape.
To respond more effectively to the increasingly demand of packaged products two new packaging machines will be acquired, one for thermo sealed film (for seedless grapes) and another for packaging in flow pack (for seeded grapes). With the introduction of this new equipment with the latest technology, the installed production capacity will triple in the 2016 season.
All these innovations and improvements comply an investment of more 700 thousand euros, only in the pack house area.

Shotgun tactical light
I "think" I'm getting a H&R Pardner Pump from Santa. Can anyone suggest a reasonably-priced "tactical" flashlight rig to mount on it? I guess that ideally it would barrel mount and have an on-off pressure switch for near the grip.
It depends partially on what ammo you plan on shooting. My mossy and Saiga shoot nothing but 00 buck and I have not found a flashlight to withstand that recoil except ones intended for heavy recoil like the surefires and streamlights. Most of the others I have tried pretty much came apart after a couple of rounds.

I have a NcStar tube mount with just a cheapie led on my CD field tac. Its my HD and F around gun so it has bird to buck go through it and i have lost a bulb yet. Not to say it wont happen. it dosent have a pres switch though. Cheaperthandirt.com has some good deals on mounts and lights. here is a pic for reference.
For SD situations using heavy recoiling weapons a quality light is critical. Your life is worth an extra $25, so upgrade your thinking with a light from Streamlight or SureFire as DarinCraft suggested.
Optics Planet will deliver a powerful 160 lumen Streamlight TLR1S to your door for only $104.99 and their adjustable mount is $18.99. Prices might be lower in a week or two.

Good luck.
Thanks for the ideas, folks.
Good suggestions.
I found another light that was being demonstrated at a gun show and was wondering how I might mount it to my shotgun. It comes with a rail mount but I haven't seen too many shotguns with rails on them.
I have a Remington 870 and would prefer to mount the light as close to the end of the barrel as possible. Any ideas on solid mounts or a way to add a length of rail to the end of my shotgun?
I haven't bought the light yet but it looks pretty sweet and was only $50. The guys demo made it look much better than the typical surefire but I didn't buy it cause I want to make sure I can attach it to my shotgun first.
Mounting the light close to or on the for-end is preferred for stability and quick / easy access to the light's controls.
Having a light near the end of the barrel has too many negative drawbacks to list. :eek:
You can either mount a Picatinny 1913 rail device at the end of the 870's magazine with the end-cap holding the bracket in place or use the adjustable setup in my earlier post (SureFire setup is the nicest, best setup, and most expensive):

I bought a tactical light from Sportsmans Guide but it did not fit my Pardner Pump well and there was no easy way to mount the pressure switch.
Then I got to thinkin' -- and decided to try a simple experiment. The wife bought me several relatively cheap, metal, 9 LED flashlights that run off AAA batteries, with a pushbutton end cap to turn the light on/off. They are about an inch diameter and 3 - 4 inches long. I put a piece of black rubber shrink wrap around one of the lights (to act as a cushion and make it black), shrunk it tight, and then secured the light to the left side of the barrel and mag tube, just forward of the fore end, using black zip-ties and waxed string. I took it to the range and shot about a dozen rounds of buckshot and the light still worked like a charm and stayed put. I can easily press the on/off button with my left thumb while holding the gun. Cheap, simple, works for me.
