What is A College Degree Worth
He has spent the past two years in a special Hebrew immersion program. He loves it and I have been so very pleased with the education he has been receiving. The program has been great. So when I found out that there was an opportunity to continue this program and to build upon it I had to investigate it.
It would be a shame to let these two years go to waste. Ok, I don't think that they would go to waste but the reality is that the developmentally he is at a place in which it is much easier to learn a foreign language. I think that there is so much to be gained by being bilingual. When you speak a different language you see the world differently and it opens your mind to new possibilities.
But the chance to continue the Hebrew immersion is not enough to secure a vote of confidence. What sold me on the school was the academics. It offers so much, so very much more than I had access to and that excites me.
Yet, the price of the school concerns me. I cannot do for one child and not for the other and I do not see how I can look at this as being any less than a decades long financial commitment. Add to that my feelings about college and I wonder what this is worth. What price am I willing to pay for my children's education.
And then I shake my head and smile. My prince and my princess, they are royalty to me. They are everything. I have so very many hopes and dreams for them and while I am careful not to spoil them with material gifts there are some things that I would give them without hesitation and an education is one of them.
What finer gift can I provide. What better way to shower them with my love and affection than to provide them the best that I can in an education. There is no replacement for a good education. It offers the keys to life. As hokey as that sounds I believe that.
I am responsible for trying to help them navigate life as menschen and I know that this school does offer programs that strive to teach the children how to be citizens of the world, to engage in tikkun olam and to do what they can to make life better for everyone.
But part of the lesson of life is found in consumption and financial responsibility. Is it financially responsible for me to take this on. It could impact me in many ways for many years and it could impinge upon my ability to do other things that they might enjoy, but it might not.
They both are smarter than I am. I see it, I know it. I am not a stupid man and I can generally hold my own, but they exceed me and that makes my heart swell with pride. How can I not be proud. How can I not smile at my progeny and how can I deny them this opportunity.
In case you are wondering about the relation of the title of the post here is how it ties in. I have come to believe that while a college degree is quite important where it comes from does not have as much distinction education wise as some people would like us to believe.
You may have a degree from Harvard, but after a little time in the working world that degree means less and less. However, the Harvard grad will likely have a better network of contacts to rely upon than others and that is worth something.
There are a lot of very fine musicians, writers and artists in the world whose works are never seen, never read and never heard because they cannot make the connections they need to get to that next place. It is not nice and it is not fair, but the reality is that who you know is sometimes more important than what you know.
My hope and fervent desire is that my children always earn their stripes but I would be lying if I said that I wasn't interested in trying to make their lives easier.

Funny...that's my job in a nutshell. To spread the word that the college degree is not necessarily the be all and end all to ones earning potential. We also let kids know that 2 year degrees are just as good if not better when it comes right down to it.
I'm feeling a little nostalgic here. My 18 yr. old left home a month ago for the "Big U." I homeschooled her from the get-go. I wanted her to have the best possible education and I couldn't find ANY school or institution that had it all, or better than what we could give her at home. I have no regrets whatsoever. My daughter is now a University Junior at top-tier nationally ranked school. She has all the smarts and middot to do well and she's adjusted beautifully to being away from home for the first time. But most importantly, she's extremely well-grounded in her academics and her limudei kodesh and in her character education. The decision to say no to a k - 12 education elsewhere was a difficult one to make. However, the one-on-one education my daughter ultimately got was the most extraordinary gift anyone could have given her. And yes indeed, she's profoundly and globally "gifted" in conventional "eduspeak." The choice isn't just between public school and day school/yeshiva. Maybe the best alternative is NEITHER.

Hi Z,
There is no one way to go through life. It is an important lesson.
Hi Helene,
I admire those who are able to homeschool their children and do it well. It is not an easy thing.

Jack - someone showed me an interesting study about a year ago, I think from Harvard: Apparently, where you graduate in your class is far more representative of how successful you'll be than what school you go to. Tops in a state U is better than middle of the pack at Harvard... It was a really interesting study overall.
If your kids will be very successful in the better school, it's worth it. Otherwise, let them be the tops in the school that's not as great.
- Jack's Shack said...
Hi Ezzie,
That sounds like an interesting study. If you remember the name of it let me know, I'd be interested in reading it.

I really have no clue, it was so long ago... I'll ask a friend to see if he remembers (he showed it to me)

I had the same financial conversation with myself four years ago before I transferred my daughter out of an affordable and convenient school that was failing in their responsibility to educate my daughter. I moved her to a school that I really cannot afford and I will be paying for for years after she has left home. However, it has been a great experience for her so far, both academically and socially. She's growing as a citizen, a person, a researcher, a performer; she questions everything, carries herself well, communicates well. It's been worth every dime. Every child is different and finding the right situation for your child is key - whether that is a large school, small school, expensive school, home schooling - every situation has it's particular pros and cons. You are on the right track in your thinking. Educating the WHOLE CHILD is more important than striving singularly for any one "success" (like admission to a fancy college).
And, I can tell you from personal experience, as long as you don't go so far as to put yourself in debtor's prison, you'll find a way to make the finances work.
Just my two cents. :)

I appreciate that.

THE VISTEON PANOZ RACING TEAM WINS AT MID-OHIO LEXINGTON, Ohio, June 14 -- In today's 2 1/2 hour U.S. Road Racing Classic GT/Can-Am race at Mid-Ohio, the ...
LEXINGTON, Ohio, June 14 -- In today's 2 1/2 hour U.S. Road Racing Classic GT/Can-Am race at Mid-Ohio, the #4 Visteon Panoz GTR-1, driven by Andy Wallace and David Brabham, finished first in class and third overall, behind the #16 and #20 Dyson Can-Am cars. Fastest lap of the race was set by David Brabham, with a 1:18.019 at 103.821mph. The #5 Visteon Panoz GTR-1, driven by Raul Boesel and Eric Bernard, finished second in class and fourth overall. This was the first race at Mid-Ohio for David Brabham, Andy Wallace, and Eric Bernard.
The Visteon Panoz Racing Team was challenged throughout the race by the #38 Porsche GT1 entry and the #16 and #20 Can-Am cars. with many position changes from the start. Traffic was a major issue in the tight 2.25 mile circuit, but all drivers enjoyed the 13-turn course with its many elevation changes.
Andy Wallace drove the first stint in the #4 Visteon Panoz GTR-1, and was proud of the team and the car. "The Visteon Panoz Racing Team had a good race today," he said. "I had a good start -- the first corner of the first lap was quite exciting -- I went in right behind the #16 Can-Am car and watched as it turned 90 degrees in front of me before he caught it. Then I had quite a dice with the #38 Porsche GT1. Traffic was tough, because you could get caught behind a GT2 or GT3 car for a little bit before you were able to pass. Mid-Ohio is a great track to race on and I'd like to thank Michelle Truman for having us here." "The Visteon Panoz got better and better as the race went on, and the Michelin tires were exceptional," said David Brabham, the second driver of the #4 Visteon Panoz GTR-1. "I treated every lap like a qualifying lap, and all the equipment and team was there to back me up. This is a great finish for the Visteon Panoz Racing Team."
The #5 Visteon Panoz ran strong all day, but had some trouble during the race. "The #5 Visteon Panoz had a lot of power, but I had a bit of understeer during my stint," said Raul Boesel, who drove first. " It was a challenging race, especially with the traffic, which I got in the middle of and lost some places. The crew worked very well, and I enjoy driving for the Visteon Panoz Racing Team."
Eric Bernard, #5 Visteon Panoz GTR-1, commented on his first race at Mid-Ohio. "I enjoyed driving in this race -- I like the track very much," he said. "There was a bit of traffic out there which reminded me of the Champs d'Elysee. The car was running warm, and I was forced to back off in order to make sure that we had no problems. All in all, it was a great race. I look forward to racing next weekend at Road Atlanta."
"I'm happy for the Visteon Panoz Racing Team, who worked very hard over the weekend," said Tony Dowe, managing director, Panoz Motor Sports. "David Brabham did an outstanding job to get the fastest lap of the race and finish on the same lap as the Can-Am cars. We enjoy the friendly competition with the Dyson Can-Am cars and the Porsche GT-1, which makes us faster and makes a better show for the fans."
Don Panoz was also happy for the win. "We've got quite a streak going," he said. "We've proven to be very competitive in our second year of racing. Let's hope it continues."
This race marks the fifth straight class win for the Visteon Panoz Racing Team after victories at the Sebring 12 Hour, Nevada Grand Prix, 1998 Sports Car Extravaganza at Homestead, and the Dodge Dealers Grand Prix at Lime Rock. Mid-Ohio is the first U.S. race after the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the #45 Visteon Panoz GTR-1, driven by David Brabham, Andy Wallace, and Jamie Davies, placed seventh among the finest sports cars and companies in the world.
The Visteon Panoz Racing Team will return to their home track for the next race, the SPORTS CAR Grand Prix at Road Atlanta, held on June 19 - 22.

The old ones should step down
Our young minister Khairy said three old people should withdraw from the political arena and he named the three as Tun Mahathir (92 years old), Anwar (70) and Lim Kit Siang (76).
In addition, Muhyiddin and Hadi are also in their 70's.
Khairy said these old leaders promote narrow racialist ideas, spread poison and hatred among different racial groups and cause social split.
Do you agree? I do. In fact, they are just too old.
But looking around, we don't see many young faces in the political arena.
What's wrong with old leaders? Wasn't Teng Xiaoping old?
But it's a pity that we only have one Teng Xiaoping in this world.
Our old leaders have been flip-flopping in their words and actions. They contradict themselves and eat their own words. Mahathir has not been able to free himself from the "Malay dilemma" mindset. Old Lim has retracted all his accusations and Anwar couldn't forget his ambition to be the prime minister. We don't know what his Reformasi is all about.
Don't talk about looking forward. Even if these leaders could give us the fantasy of going back to the good old days, it would still be alright. Unfortunately, we are seeing none of this now.

Talk:Lachine, Quebec
|WikiProject Canada / Quebec / Montreal / Geography / Communities
|(Rated Start-class, Low-importance)
Photograph of Parc des Rapides[edit]
This is an excellent photograph, but why has it been included in this article? Parc des Rapides is located in the Borough of Lasalle, not Lachine. Idesofmontreal (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
decent families, drugs[edit]
I agree that the paragraph about the impoverished area of Lachine and the restaurants should be revised. The fire at Orlando Patate and the closing of Miss Dixie are perhaps sad, but they are not tragedies. Perhaps these were important events to the author, but they really just seem like anectodes to me. The reference to the "proud" and "hardest working" people on 45th avenue, as well as the reference to easy access to drugs are surprising; it is presented as common knowledge but I don't think this is something distinct about that area of Lachine.
At the very least, I suggest removing the reference to "decent families", to "easy access to drugs". I also suggest to make the references to restaurants closing less dramatic, or perhaps remove them altogether, as the closing and opening of restaurants really not unusual and certainly not something that defines Lachine. Fguillotte 21:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Copy reinserted. Objectivity and historical truths. What application of historical evidence is the presumed editor basing his/her dispute on? In fact, all historical elements of a community are based upon observation and recording. Would the editor of the features of Lachine care to give evidence that Lachine is not composed of the elements in the deleted copy? The complete deletion of the feature copy, without sufficient specific dispute, is then based solely on the opinion(s) of the presumed editor. Those opinions are, of course, valid in the event that they address in a constructive way the specified copy. However, this was not done. Copy re-instated.
This section is still full of statements that do not belong in this type of article. What is the author's objective proof that this neighbourhood is either the "proudest" or the "most impoverished"? "Known as a hangout for local troubled teens, and easy access to drugs" by whom? Who knows this? It either is a hangout or it isn't. What is the imperical evidence that people in this neighbour are either "hard working" or "decent"? This is a value judgment that simply isn't verifiable. Was the demise of the "local eatery a "disaster"? "Sad generational legacy of loss" is not verifable either. "Although these tragedies affected most in the neighbourhood" - what evidence is there for this statement?
Idesofmontreal 19:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Edit has referenced as followed "most impoverished community" and stated not accurate. Quotation is taken out of context...reference "One of Lachine's proudest and yet most impoverished communities".
Personal reflections of some elements have been removed. Clean up of grammar and syntax. Drug usage and "troubled teens" are reflective of a reality the previous edit does not recognise. Lack of recognition of this reality by the edit does not provide sufficient reason to exclude it.
Historical framework, albeit of a personal nature, (more than one author has contributed) is necessary to establish information regarding a community within a community. Lachine has many features with historical and small community links. It is hoped that other areas of Lachine (regardless of size) will contibute to an in depth view of Lachine. These should include historical events and current demographics.
The paragraph describing "One of Lachine's proudest and yet most impoverished communities ... located on the southern end of 45th Avenue across from Stoney Point Park" is very odd. This whole section is a purely personal reflection on the transformation of a very small (and insignificant) area of Lachine. There is still some low-income housing on 45th Avenue, situated within walking distance of the riverfront. But "troubled teens" and "access to drugs" are not more prevalent in this neighbourhood than any other. To describe it as the "most impoverished community" in Lachine is not accurate. Some of Lachine's Canada Day celebrations are indeed staged in the Park. But the "inflated Slush Puppy balloon" has not appeared in the last six years. And the disappearance of the three restaurants is hardly the "disastrous tragedy" to Lachine youth that the author protrays.
Idesofmontreal 02:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Text from FEATURES section removed:
"One of Lachine's proudest and yet most impoverished communities is located on the southern end of 45th Avenue across from Stoney Point Park. Known as a hangout for local troubled teens, and easy access to drugs, it has a rich heritage of housing some of Lachine's less fortunate, but hard working and decent families. It is situated within walking distance of the river front which also hosts Lachine's Canada Day celebration. Major attractions to the celebration include a local store's inflated Slush Puppy(tm) balloon. In 1997 disaster struck this community, a local eatery, Orlando Patate, fell victim to a major gas fire. This continued the sad generational legacy of loss, the closing of the famous Charlie's restaurant, and the closing of equally well known Miss Dixie restaurant. Generations of Lachine youth can now only recall in memory the fine hamburgers of Charlie's Restaurant, or the hours listening to the jukebox at the Miss Dixie restaurant. Although these tragedies affected most in the neighbourhood, the area was rejuvenated with the development of condominiums. Local shops have had a high turn-around rate, but due to recent gentrification this community's economic recession has ended."
Deleted the paragraph "Military", reading "Lachinans are said to be descended from Robert Cavelier de La Salle himself. Taught never to retreat, never to surrender. Taught that death in the battlefield is the greatest glory he could achieve in his life. Lachinans: the finest soldiers the world has ever known.". This has absolutely no objective basis. Given that there is no "Lachine army" and that soldiers from Lachine would serve in the Canadian Forces and thus not be readily identifiable, if there is indeed a point to be made, it would have to be in the historical context of the settlement, when one could distinguish between various military forces occupying the country. This would go in the "History" section. And if there indeed is a point to be made, it would have to be rephrased in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia. Lach 02:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
"I will not tolerate dissent."[edit]
Listen, people: Just because your experience of Lachine did not (or does not) include 45th Avenue, this does not mean that this community has no symbolic meaning for many other Lachiners and their friends. This is Wikipedia. This is not a doctoral dissertation. Keep your personal judgments about what DOES NOT define Lachine to yourself. If many have experienced 45th Avenue in Lachine as significant, then this makes it significant in any discussion of Lachine. To those who decide that the fire was not a TRAGEDY, I ask, were you affected by it? What about the residents who lost everything in that fire? Who are you to decide for them that this was not a tragedy? Shame on you. I am sick and tired of this pretentiousness. If you feel that there are other features of Lachine that deserve attention, by all means describe them; but do not diminish the experience of others. 21:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the section in question. The point is not that the tale of 45th Avenue is not interesting to some, the point is that it has no place in an encyclopaedia because nothing that is asserted as fact ("hard-working", "impoverished", etc) is backed up with citations. If you were able to provide a link to, say, a Statistics Canada report showing that the good people of 45th Avenue are harder-working than those elsewhere in Lachine, then that portion of the paragraph could remain. On a side note, if you "will not tolerate dissent", then maybe you should consider "not editing Wikipedia". Geoff NoNick 11:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
First of all, Geoff, let me point out that "I will not tolerate dissent" is within quotation marks. Hmm, I wonder what this might mean. Perhaps it is a stab at you people who refuse to accept others' description of Lachine. Second, if you would read the paragraph closely, you would see that the author did not assert that residents of 45th avenue are MORE hardworking than the rest of Lachine. This is your own skewed perception. The author merely wrote that the community is generally impoverished, but that they are nonetheless hardworking. This is to prevent people from assuming that, because the neighbourhood has a history of impoverishment, the people must be lazy. Also, nowhere is it written that this neighbourhood is THE MOST impoverished in Lachine. If you cannot read, what are YOU doing editing Wikipedia? Furthermore, if you are so concerned with citations, the entire entry for Lachine should be removed. Why would you have different standards for different types of information? In your simplicity, you should not even accept the distribution of languages given! Nor should you accept that FORT ROLLAND is a district of Lachine. 20:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

The Camper Van Cookbook: Life on 4 wheels, Cooking on 2 rings
Martin Dorey and Sarah Randell
Say goodbye to roughing it. And hello to a new kind of freedom.
With over 80 fabulously tasty recipes you can cook on just two rings and a few barbeque feasts and camp fire crackers, this is the dashboard bible for anyone who ever dreamed of hitting the road at the wheel of a classic VW camper.
From finding and cooking your own food to passing muster with the surfing set, The Camper Van Cookbook will show you how to make the most of every single moment on the road.
Reviews of The Camper Van Cookbook: Life on 4 wheels, Cooking on 2 rings
"His charmingly eccentric account of life on the road, one delicious recipe at a time, is set to become a modern outdoor classic… it occurs to me that Martin, who pulses with energy and Boy's Own enthusiasm, was made for television. Perhaps he could be sponsored by the British Tourist Authority, as he leads viewers down highways and byways to soak up the scenic beauty – while feasting on breakfast frittata with bacon. Many of the recipes would work just as well for a 'tented' camping holiday but the vintage wheels lend the whole occasion a certain grooviness."
You Magazine
"This inspirational handbook tells you how to cope during a weekend spent on four wheels with nothing but a fire and a two ring stove to cook."
Telegraph Magazine
"This is not just a cookbook, it's a bible for camping."

A Tale of Two Valleys: Wine, Wealth, and the Battle for the Good Life in Napa and Sonoma
Broadway Books, 2003 - Travel - 221 pages
When acclaimed journalist Alan Deutschman came to the California wine country as the lucky house guest of very rich friends, he was surprised to discover a raging controversy. A civil war was being fought between the Napa Valley, which epitomized elitism, prestige and wealthy excess, and the neighboring Sonoma Valley, a rag-tag bohemian enclave so stubbornly backward that rambunctious chickens wandered freely through town. But the antics really began when new-money invaders began pushing out Sonoma's poets and painters to make way for luxury resorts and trophy houses that seemed a parody of opulence.A Tale of Two Valleyscaptures these stranger-than-fiction locales with the wit of a Tom Wolfe novel and uncorks the hilarious absurdities of life among the wine world's glitterati.
Deutschman found that on the weekends the wine country was like a bunch of gracious hosts smiling upon their guests, but during the week the families feuded with each other and their neighbors like the Hatfields and McCoys. Napa was a comically exclusive club where the super-rich fought desperately to get in. Sonoma's colorful free spirits and iconoclasts were wary of their bohemia becoming the next playground for the rapacious elite. So, led by a former taxicab driver and wine-grape picker, a cheese merchant, and an artist who lived in a barn surrounded by wild peacocks, they formed a populist revolt to seize power and repel the rich invaders.
Deutschman's cast of characters brims with eccentrics, egomaniacs, and a mysterious man in black who crashed the elegant Napa Valley Wine Auction before proceeding to pay a half-million dollars for a single bottle. What develops is nothing less than a battle for the good life, a clash between old and new, the struggle for the soul of one of America's last bits of paradise. A dishy glimpse behind the scenes of a West Coast wonderland,A Tale of Two Valleysmakes for intoxicating reading.

2017 Subaru Crosstrek Release Date and Price
Considering that the compact SUV cars are getting more competitive, Subaru is ready to prepare their new 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. This rumor mentioned that the growth of the market gives no choice at all for Subaru instead of presenting their new innovation. Therefore, it is not something too much to say that 2017 Crosstrek might be released with some changes to make it nicer than before.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Exterior
Another significant improvement to attract buyers at the very first sight is the exterior. 2017 Subaru Crosstrek might receive new improvements including its styling. The outer part of the car will be designed with massive redesign including the sleeker body architecture. Some of the details are redesigned to give modern touch such as the rear end and the headlights. We also glad to hear rumors stated about the possibility for lighter bodyweight to support better performance. Therefore, the car has better fuel consumption to make it more efficient than before.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Interior
When you enter the car, there are some possible changes to offer by Subaru. First, it is about the styling that should be matched with the new styling around its outer part. It will be more modern and stylish because some redesigned details inside. 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is also featured with upgraded features and technologies for more conventional driving experience.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Engine
The first prior to get change from Subaru will be the mechanical details. Regardless the fact, it is quite promising for Subaru to offer their new technology in hybrid engine. In addition, rumors stated that there will be the combination of inline-four gasoline 2.0 liter engine with 10 kwH of electric motor as the best solution to produce the amount of output for up to 148 horsepower for 2017 Subaru Crosstrek.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek Release Date and Price
Its release date would not come out at this time or close to this year. We predict that 2017 Subaru Crosstrek will be released on dealership sometime in 2016 with the price tag for the base model that could be about $26,500. However, what we have given in this report is still based on rumors and prediction. It is important to note that everything above might false. That is why it is important to wait the official announcement although 2017 is still too far away from now on. One thing for sure that anticipating this car is much better than purchasing the current model.

The whispers coursed through Burlington for years — Myer's Bagel Bakery owner Lloyd Squires was relocating to Nova Scotia and looking to sell. Now, the rumor has proved half right. After considering offers from several teams, Squires says, he has sold the business to Colin Bloch and Adam Jones. But he's staying put at Myer's, where he will share the oven with Chris and Emily Conn of the Bakery at the Farmhouse Kitchen.
The plan is to reinvigorate both Myer's' wholesale business and its café, which will open in its new form on April 1, following a brief March closure for renovations. Bloch and Jones will be part of the team helping roll bagels, including new organic and gluten-free lines.
But the wood-fired oven has more in store. For four years before Squires decided to go with Bloch and Jones, the Conns were also in talks with him about taking over the space. Now the culinary couple, who met at a wood-oven restaurant in Rhode Island, are coming on board to help bring Myer's to its greatest potential.
Chris Conn first worked with Squires when he served Myer's bagels as head of the Dealer.com cafeteria. To bring in diners from that business and others on Pine Street and its environs, Conn will spearhead a program to turn the simple bakery into a serious foodie café.
Burlington Farmers Market regulars may know Conn as the original chef behind Rockville Market Farm's smoked, farm-fresh tacos. He'll put his skills at the smoker to a very different use at Myer's: preparing Montréal-style smoked meat. Conn says he's been experimenting with the brisket that will fill bagel sandwiches when the café reopens. He'll also use the oven to roast chicken and turkey. "We're shooting for a scratch cooking scenario using local meats and produce and other such things to adorn the bagels for breakfast and lunch," he says.
Emily Conn will take a similar approach to producing dessert. She's been running the Bakery at the Farmhouse Kitchen from her home, but access to Myer's professional oven will allow her to expand it fourfold. That means Conn can finally fulfill the orders from big markets that have been courting her, including Whole Foods. Besides her luscious almond buttercrunch cakes, she'll supply Myer's with rustic, seasonal specialty desserts. A sweet end for all involved.
Barbara 1: I hope they are open more consistently than the previous place. We need another good option in Woodstock.

Viboux Chermette Beaujolais Cuvee Traditionelle Vieilles Vigne 2008
Winemaker's Notes:
92+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar):The bouquet on the 2008 is superb, as it offers up a deep and complex melange of red and black cherries, sweet cranberries, vinesmoke, a touch of pepper, a very complex base of soil, coffee, herb tones and a touch of citrus peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and very intensely flavored, with a great core of fruit, moderate tannins, tangy acids and excellent focus on the long and complex finish. I would give this beautiful wine a year or two in the cellar to really blossom, and the drink it over the next decade or so. 2011-2022+. (Sep/Oct 2009)

Fee-Only Financial Planning
At the heart of our process is the financial plan. This guides our advice and your investment portfolio - it is how you achieve your goals.
Initial Financial Plan
The financial plan is what guides future investments and determines the success of your goals. It includes a statement of net worth, cash flow and retirement projections, full analysis of current investments, complete risk profile, and a recommended plan of action including investment recommendations. With a completed financial plan you will understand exactly what it takes to achieve retirement and accomplish your goals.
On-Going Financial Plan
Once your initial financial plan is complete there is still work to be done. Your plan is not static. We know life is always changing which means your plan should be updated to reflect these changes. It could be the birth of a child, death in the family, a business venture, or a new goal. We meet at least annually to ensure the plan is still on track and adjust when necessary to keep your retirement and other goals secure.
Rest assured we are keeping an eye on your plan and your investments to make sure you are successful.
How it relates to your Investments
We won't invest a dollar of your money until we understand your financial situation and what this money is going to be used for. We make sure you have the proper mix of liquidity and growth; designing the portfolio around your personal situation. With a complete plan in place we are able to confidently invest your portfolio so that your money will be there when you need it. Our investment philosophy involves a mix of bonds and stocks and uses low cost, tax efficient ETFs (exchange traded funds) and Mutual Funds to allocate your portfolio. You can read more about our investment philosophy here.
Why Fee-Only
Many financial planners just want to invest your money to generate fees and commissions. To them a financial plan is just another way to sell more products and services. Or worse they skip the plan and just invest your money in some "top performing" mutual fund without even knowing what they are investing for. Just because you get a good return does not mean you will accomplish your goals.
Fee-Only means we don't sell in-house products, we don't collect commissions from sales, and we aren't affiliated with a large investment bank or insurance company. We are compensated solely by our clients for the financial planning and investment services we provide.
An advisor compensated through commission inherently faces a conflict of interest between the interests of the client and their own. These commissions provide an incentive to sell products with the highest payout like loaded mutual funds and permanent life insurance regardless of whether or not it is in your best interest.
Fee-only advisors are paid based on a percentage of the assets they manage. This aligns the financial planner's goals with your goals, which is to grow your wealth. But the real difference comes from the Fiduciary Standard. Fee-only financial registered investment advisors are held to this standard, which means by law, they must have their clients' best interest at heart. Therefore, fee-only planners will recommend only the best investments for you.

Beauty and the Beast Lyrics Nightwish
Album Century Child
Nightwish - Beauty and the Beast SongtextBeauty and the Beast
"Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my ugliness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a scent of beauty left behind"
"Ah, dear friend I remember the night
The moon and the dreams we shared
Your trembling paw in my hand
Dreaming of that northern land
Touching me with a kiss of a beast"
"I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
love me before the last petal falls"
"As a world without a glance
Of the ocean's fair expanse
Such the world would be
If no love did flow in thee
But as my heart is occupied
Your love to me now has to die
Forgive me, I need more than you can offer me"
"Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?"
"However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease up your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember, beauty is found within"
"Forever shall the wolf in me desire the
sheep in you."

A False Mirror (Inspector Ian Rutledge Series #9)
Paperback(Mass Market Paperback)
"Full of suspense, surprises, and sympathetic characters."
—Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
"No mystery series I can think of captures the sadness and loss that swept over England after World War I with the heartbreaking force of Charles Todd's books about Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge."
—Chicago Tribune
The remarkable Charles Todd has created one of the most unforgettable characters in mystery and crime fiction: Inspector Ian Rutledge, shell-shocked veteran of "the Great War." A False Mirror is one of Todd's most powerful novels, plunging his tormented protagonist into the center of a brutal crime that painfully echoes events in Rutledge's own past. Poignant, evocative, and continually surprising, A False Mirror is further proof that Charles Todd is well deserving of the critical acclaim the Rutledge novels have earned; a New York Times bestselling author who belongs among the acknowledged masters of the genre, including P.

Ian Rutledge, an affecting, strong, yet vulnerable hero was first introduced by the mother/son writing team of Charles Todd in A Test Of Wills. He's a Scotland Yard inspector, a veteran of the Great War now battling the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Jean, his fiancee didn't wait for him, he's haunted by the voice of Corporal Hamish MacLeod whom Rutledge was compelled to kill, and beleaguered by his superior, Chief Superintendent Bowles, who seems determined to break what is left of Rutledge's spirit. Seven novels followed the first, all tracing the tests and trials of Rutledge. Each is complexly plotted, powered by suspense, and insightful as the psychological scars of soldiers are revealed. A False Mirror is set not long after the end of World War I. Rutledge continues to suffer with memories of the carnage and his very personal involvement. We read, '.....how could he explain what war had done to him and to so many others? How could he describe watching Hamish fall, how could he tell anyone how the man had lain there, trying to speak to him, begging for release? And how could he ever condone drawing his revolver and delivering the coup de grace, the blow of grace.....? He is dispatched to a small community, Hampton Regis, to investigate the almost fatal assault on Matthew Hamilton. The man believed to be guilty is Stephen Mallory, a veteran who also suffers the after effects of war. He had known Rutledge during the war and there is little love lost between them. Mallory is also the man Felicity, Matthew Hamilton's wife, had loved before he went off to war. In his current state of mind would Mallory have tried to kill Hamilton in order to be with Felicity again? He swears that he is not guilty but fearing punishment for a crime he didn't commit he takes Felicity and her maid hostage in their home, Casa Miranda, swearing he will speak to no one save Ian Rutledge of Scotland Yard. Thus it falls to Rutledge to determine whether or not Mallory is guilty and if he is not, who would want to attack Hamilton and why? Rutledge's investigation is hampered by the disappearance of the stricken Hamilton and two more deaths. Characterizations are rich while intriguing clues keep readers turning pages until they find a never-suspected killer. - Gail Cooke
All of the Todd - Ina Rutledge series is excellent. His writing style is so fluid and vibrant that his books are like a movie. Reminiscent of the Jericho or Foyles War series on PBS.
This is one of the best crime stories i've ever read. And, it's not even full of profanity!
Ian Rutledge's character development keeps getting better and better. Can't put this series down once I start.
In the village of Hampton Regis, Stephen Mallory is accused of attacking Matthew Hamilton leaving the latter in a coma and currently holds hostage the man's wife Felicity and their maid Nan. The distraught WWI veteran demands that his former commanding officer Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge arrive at the scene as he refuses to neither speak with anyone else nor release anyone. --- Rutledge, who has his own issues from the combat (the ghost of Hamish MacLeod, whom he had executed during the war) rushes to the village. There the locals inform Ian that this is a love triangle turned ugly as everyone the Inspector speaks to explains that Felicity, Stephen¿s former lover before he went off to fight did not wait for his return from the recent war but instead married Matthew they also insist Mallory wants Felicity back and is willing to kill Hamilton to achieve his objective. Ian thinks the assault is too perfect and wonders who else might have a motive to harm Hamilton. He quickly draws up a list of possibilities, but none seem quite right except for Mallory. --- This is a superb historical mystery with the usual late twists and the message that those coming back from war return with potential deep rooted emotional problems from all the horrors they witness. The story line is fast-paced, but also vividly paints a deep picture of a small English village just after the end of WWI. Fans will feel for all the key players as each has ghosts to contend with, but none more than Rutledge and Mallory. A FALSE MIRROR is a winner in one of the best ongoing twentieth century police procedurals series. --- Harriet Klausner
Fortunately cannot tell the plot by her review and is a classic english mystery which tells all if you like them my dear mother a great reader disliked any book where they took tea! One of my favorite authors but not the other series curious mom
I haven't received A False Mirror as yet since it was just published today but if it is anything like the others, I know it will be interesting, compelling reading.
Well the cover of this book was lovely. In fact it was the best part of the whole 'reading experience'. The plot was kind of odd. I don't like to give things away but the circumstances of the 'hostage taking' made no sense at all. But let me get to the major annoyance. Inspector Rutledge, God bless him is haunted by his World War 1 experiences and that is understandable, but he is accompanied everywhere by the disembodied voice of a dead comrade who 'helps' him deal with crime. I kept picturing a balloon with a happy face floating over his shoulder. It was just too weird and more than silly. I decided after half the book that I couldn't take it anymore. The authors are apparently mother and daughter. So, does the mother write while the daughter hovers behind her, or what? Maybe the other way around? Bad book.

Detective Lindsay Boxer faces a heart-stopping threat in the newest Women's Murder Club thriller. Fifteen months ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer's life was perfect--she had a beautiful child and a doting husband, Joe, who helped her catch a criminal who'd brazenly detonated a bomb in downtown San Francisco, killing twenty-five people. But Joe wasn't everything that Lindsay thought he was, and she's still reeling from his betrayal as a wave of mysterious, and possibly unnatural, heart attacks claims seemingly unrelated victims across San Francisco. As if that weren't enough, the bomber she and Joe captured is about to go on trial, and his defense raises damning questions about Lindsay and Joe's investigation. Not knowing whom to trust, and struggling to accept the truth about the man she thought she knew, Lindsay must connect the dots of a deadly conspiracy before a brilliant criminal puts her on trial.
A gang of thieves stage a daring heist from a secure vault deep below Princeton University's Firestone Library. Their loot is priceless, but Princeton has insured it for twenty-five million dollars. Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer's block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable's circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets. But eventually Mercer learns far too much, and there's trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it.

Praised by Lee Child and Karin Slaughter, and sure to thrill fans of The Girl on the Train and The Widow, The Marsh King's Daughter is mesmerizing psychological suspense, the story of a woman who must risk everything to hunt down the dangerous man who shaped her past and threatens to steal her future: her father. At last, Helena Pelletier has the life she deserves. A loving husband, two beautiful daughters, a business that fills her days. Then she catches an emergency news announcement and realizes she was a fool to think she could ever leave her worst days behind her. Helena has a secret: she is the product of an abduction. Her mother was kidnapped as a teenager by her father and kept in a remote cabin in the marshlands of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. No electricity, no heat, no running water, not a single human beyond the three of them. Helena, born two years after the abduction, loved her home in nature--fishing, tracking, hunting. And despite her father's odd temperament and sometimes brutal behavior, she loved him, too . . . until she learned precisely how savage a person he could be. More than twenty years later, she has buried her past so soundly that even her husband doesn't know the truth. But now her father has killed two guards, escaped from prison, and disappeared into the marshland he knows better than anyone else in the world. The police commence a manhunt, but Helena knows they don't stand a chance. Knows that only one person has the skills to find the survivalist the world calls the Marsh King--because only one person was ever trained by him: his daughter.
For as long Daniella has been married to Joel, they've received phone calls at odd hours, and late at night. Daniella knows the caller as Liesel, Joel's first wife, a woman whose sudden departure devastated her husband. After years of disruptive, long-distance phone calls, Liesel rings to tell Joel she's letting Idzia, the seventeen-year-old daughter he has never met, visit for the summer. Daniella and Joel prepare for Idzia's arrival, but when Joel goes to pick her up from the airport, Idzia isn't there. Back at home, the phone calls suddenly stop, and Joel and Daniella become haunted by the absence of someone who was never part of their life to begin with. Debra Spark's fourth novel, Unknown Caller, tells the story of a brief, failed marriage and its complicated aftermath. Leaping effortlessly across decades and continents, it works to uncover the reasons for Idzia and Liesel's disappearance and the deeper puzzle of Liesel's identity. Spark's candid, intricate novel highlights the near-impossibility of truly knowing another person, the pain in failing relationships, and the joy in successful ones.
When Maine game warden Mike Bowditch is tasked with shooting invasive feral hogs that are tearing up the forest in his district, he makes a horrific discovery — a dead baby buried in a shallow grave. Even more disturbing: evidence suggests the infant was the child of a young woman who was presumed to have died four years earlier after she disappeared from a group rafting trip. As Bowditch assists the reopened investigation, he begins to suspect that some of his neighbors aren't who they seem to be. When violence strikes close to home, he realizes that his unknown enemies will stop at nothing to keep their terrible secrets. Mike Bowditch has bucked the odds his whole career, but this time the intrepid warden may have finally followed his hunches one step too far.
Lawyer Andy Carpenter's true passion is the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization he runs with his friend Willie Miller. All kinds of dogs make their way to the foundation, and it isn't that surprising to find a dog abandoned at the shelter one morning, though it was accompanied by a mysterious anonymous note. But they are quite surprised when they scan the dog's embedded chip, and discover that they know this dog. He is the "DNA dog." Two and a half years ago, Jill Hickman was a single mother of an adopted baby. Her baby and dog were kidnapped in broad daylight in Eastside Park, and they haven't been seen since. A tip came in that ID'd a former boyfriend of Hickman's, Keith Wachtel, as the kidnapper. A search of his house showed no sign of the child but did uncover more incriminating evidence, and the clincher that generated Wachtel's arrest was some dog hair, notable since Wachtel did not have a dog. DNA tests showed conclusively that the hair belonged to Hickman's dog. Wachtel was convicted of kidnapping, but the dog and baby were never found. Now, with the reappearance of the dog, the case is brought back to light, and the search for the child renewed. Goaded by his wife's desire to help a friend and fellow mother and Andy's desire to make sure the real kidnapper is in jail, Andy and his team enter the case. But what they start to uncover is far more complicated and dangerous than they ever expected, in David Rosenfelt's Collared.

Woods Cop: True Stories of the Maine Warden Service is a collection of 21 stories from two former colonels, two lieutenants, two sergeants, four district wardens, a warden pilot, and one currently active duty corporal. Altogether, their cumulative experiences account for more than 300 years of warden experience. Before reality TV cameras, GPS devices, and dashboard computers, these wardens presided over a coming of age era for the Maine Warden Service. It was a time when a compass, map, and their wits were what mattered most in the field. Every day offered the potential for an exciting new adventure, many of which endangered the wardens themselves. This book recreates the full warden experience. In addition to hair-raising, life-and-death scenarios, the collection covers moments such as a child innocently outing his parents as "looking for deer" at night, the doldrums of a stakeout, and the grief of tragedy. The stories have been written in a third person, narrative format to ensure consistency in style and to help readers feel the excitement of a twig snapped in the dark, the frustration of second guessing yourself when lives are at stake, and the duty to do what's right, even if it means breaking the law.

"We were in Brazil, and this drink is just to die for. You take half a lime, muddle it. Muddle it really well so the pulp is coming out. Then pour rum on top. Then a teaspoon of sugar. And shake the hell out of it. Pour it out over ice. It should look like this," and she shows me a picture on her phone. And I'm about to just hand over my apron and let her do it herself but I'm game for some crazy bar tending, so let's do it.
I muddled so damned hard I could feel the knots in my shoulder growing firmer. I shook the hell out of it. I mean the literal hell—I could see Satan and all his minions fleeing from the depths of this sugary liquid. And I gave her the drink and she took a sip and whispered to her husband. Her eyes narrowed a bit and glanced a moment in my direction; she tilted her head just a tad. Like a well-bred Southerner, she talked a wealth of shit behind the manicured hand raised discretely over her mouth.
"Listen," he says. "This isn't going to work."
I apologize and ask what the problem is and she says it's too strong. So I over-poured which is typical and I like a good drink but not everyone does it's cool. No big deal.
"Let me add more lime and sugar."
"No," she says, "I need you to make me a new one. Use a couple spoonfuls of sugar. And muddle the hell out of the lime. We were here yesterday and the other bartender made it perfectly," she whined.
"I'm really sorry about that." I'm speaking through gritted teeth; I'm trying my best to keep my cool here she should have just ordered her drink like the tone of her voice—syrupy sweet and full of venom.
"Oh no, it's fine. You're learning something new." Her words are dripping out onto the bartop, trickling across its surface like molasses in winter. And I swear if the patron saint of patronization could rise from the dead and slap me across the face he just did. And let me tell you, it stung.
So I muddle. Duly shamed, I muddle and I muddle and workman's comp had better be ready for this claim. I pour in the heaping helping of sugar and shake the hell out of it. I cut up another lime and muddle that. Muddle, muddle, toil and trouble, liquor burn and shaker bubble. But the only witch in this bar is you. You take it from me and you take a sip and grimace. It's just not the same, you say. And quite frankly, I did exactly as you said. You watched me make the whole damn thing I did it exactly right you even said as much maybe your taste buds are wrecked from all this sugar. Is that a thing? It must be. It's the only explanation.
The guy at the end of the bar has already requested I add two beers onto his tab. "For you and a coworker, when you get off," he said, "I feel bad you've got to deal with that shit." Ah, my saving grace is here. When you're constantly being berated by irrational human beings, you begin to forget what rationality looks like. It looks like this man. And I spent the rest of the day dreaming about that beer. The cool taste of wheat and hops pouring down the back of my throat. So much so that I forgot about the witch at the end of the bar. I didn't click my little red heels together and wish I was home once—and, for an introvert like me, that's a pretty big deal.
And at the end of my shift, I'm on the patio with a cold beer in my hand, sharing a moment of solidarity with some poor bartender in Brazil who's having recurring nightmares about the Wicked Witch of the West Coast. I hope someone bought him a beer. I'll ring him up. Ding-dong, my friend. Boy do I have good news for you. You know that witch? The wicked one? A house fell on her head.
