Backpacking Food Bars 2.0
Introduction: Backpacking Food Bars 2.0
Even though it was posted over a year ago, I'm still receiving a surprising amount of interest in my Backpacking Food Bars. I've refined the recipe a bit and taken it on another trip, so I thought I'd share an update. This new version is significantly more nutritious and tastier than the previous iteration.
The purpose of these bars is to provide a concentrated form of nutrition (specifically calories, carbohydrates, and protein) in a low weight, low volume package that's easy to carry and stable across a wide range of temperature and moisture conditions. The overall cost is lower than most commercially available food bars, and the recipe is infinitely customizable, allowing you to create bars that suite your own palate and nutritional requirements.
Step 1: Tools and Ingredients
• Half cup measuring cup
• Food processor or cutting board and knife
• Bowl
• Spatula
• Jellyroll pan
• Grease for pan
• Oven
• Protein Powder
• Glutinous Rice Flour (may have to hunt through local Asian grocery to find)
• Dried fruit (I used raisins)
• Nuts (I used walnuts)
• Peanut butter
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Water
Step 2: Prep and Mix Ingredients
All ingredients are in half cup measurements.
Chop dried fruit and nuts. You want fairly small pieces so they spread more thoroughly through the bars
Mix a half cup of each ingredient into a large bowl and stir until everything is mixed evenly into a smooth batter.
Step 3: Baking
Preheat oven to 250F
Spread batter on to a thoroughly greased jellyroll pan (I used vegetable oil) and bake for one hour. This baking time is for bars that have been spread out to 1 inch thick.
Step 4: Packaging
Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely. Bars should be an even golden brown color and be firm to the touch
Once cooled, carefully lift the bars out of the pan. No matter how well you greased things the bars will stick a little.
Cut the bars into the desired serving size, and wrap individually in plastic wrap. This prevents the bars from grinding against each other and creating crumbs, which was a significant problem with my previous version.
Now you're ready to go out hiking. I used a double batch of these bars as about one-third of the total food volume I packed. They make an excellent quick breakfast or snack and are easy to eat while you walk.
Step 5: Nutrition
This new version of the bars has 25% more calories, 52% more carbohydrates and 7% more protein per cup. This is thanks to a more streamlined ingredients list and the inclusion of the glutinous rice flour.
The glutinous rice flour was an important addition to the bars. It offers over 1500 calories per cup and despite the name I don't think it actually contains any gluten, in case you are allergic like a couple of my friends.
Once again I didn't give much attention to vitamin, mineral, or fiber content, all of which are very important if you're going to be on the trail for any length of time. I'm still looking for ingredients to make up this deficit. Wheat germ and quinoa have been suggested to me as possible candidates.
(see attached file for nutritional breakdown)
Step 6: Flavor
This time around I tried to pay more attention to flavor and palatability, so here are a few of my observations in that regard:
I used vanilla protein powder instead of the chocolate flavored and got rid of the baking chocolate, both of which contributed to a burnt taste in the previous version.
I found that the peanut butter is absolutely critical for a decent flavor as it covers up the slightly off taste of the protein powder.
Where the previous bars were dry and crumbly, the glutinous rice flour helps the new version bind together with a more pleasant, moist texture that makes them easier to eat without large amounts of water.
I tried using dried cherries in the recipe but they turned the whole batter pink and gave it a strong flavor of bad cherry candy. Not recommended.
Overall the bars taste a lot better, but now I find them to be too sweet. I tried adding a few seasonings like cinnamon, and even salt and vinegar to mellow it out (it actually helped more than you would think). The prime culprit is the sweetened condensed milk. I may have to look for a substitute in a later version.
Step 7: Follow-up
Open-Air Stability: I left a bar on the counter for about 12 days and nibbled on it periodically to see if it was still palatable. It dried out somewhat, but didn't reach a point where it might be considered inedible.
Packaged Stability: To my great disappointment some of the bars I kept wrapped in plastic began to mold after only a week. This is a major step backwards from my previous version, and entirely unacceptable based on my stated purpose of supplying a stable food for backpacking. My goal is at bare minimum a two week shelf life. (I can't see anyone packing more than two weeks of food at one time.) I believe the culprit is the addition of water. To make the current recipe more stable it should be baked longer. I suggest bumping the time up to 1.5 hours at 250F, or baking at 250F for one hour then dropping the temp to 100F for an additional hour. Alternatively, you could try mixing the recipe with less water, or no water, from the beginning. Of course you could always just forgo the plastic wrap too.
Hot Breakfast Application: I suggested to someone in the comments section that if the bars get inedibly dry and you have a camp stove on hand you could make a kind of porridge. I tested the application with reasonable success. With a little encouragement from a fork the crumbled bar dissolved nicely in hot water and thickened to a pleasant consistency. Surprisingly the mix was a little bland and could benefit from some salt and sugar.
Notes for the Next Iteration:
- Solve the molding problem by reducing or replacing water content. I may try using an oil instead. Coconut oil, for example, has been suggested to me as a nutrition-dense candidate.
- Solve the sweetness problem by reducing or replacing the sweetened condensed milk. Again an oil like coconut oil may suffice. Finding more savory ingredients like roasted nuts or dried fruits that aren't as sweet may help too.
- Experiment with peanut butter alternatives. Enough people asked about a peanut-free variant that I figured I should give it a try. I'm eying Nutella as a prime candidate. The thinner consistency of Nutella may also help produce a softer texture without needing to add water.
- Track and optimize a larger spread of nutrition values. Next time around I plan to track fiber, sodium, and some of the bigger vitamins and minerals. I'm also toying with the idea of developing a mathematical model to optimize the nutrition within volume constraints. As I mentioned in the comments it's hard to add or change ingredients without radically altering the per cup averages, so I want a better way to visualize that process.
SAVORY....as a born Italian, I crave sun-dried tomatos, olives, and capers...can you come up with a SAVORY trail bar....don't forget the basil and oregano!
Excellent recipe. I'm curious, have you thought about moving them to a dehydrator for a few hours after initial baking and/or using a vacuum sealer to further retard spoilage?
I used no water with only 1/2 cup of condensed milk. It was plenty wet enough to form the 'dough' in the baking tray without losing its shape. I'll have to try a saran wrap test to see if it molds. If it does I can try dehydrating.
Thanks for sharing-- this looks great! Have you tried making the bars in a greased muffin pan? They would be more uniform in size and possibly crumble less since there are no corners to get knocked off. (I didn't see anyone else mention that, sorry if someone has!)
I had not considered that. I think it would actually work pretty well. You could also pack down the "pucks" (?) by pressing one muffin tin down on another. Pressed bars are also less crumbly (see my 3.3 version).
The only problem I see is the possibility of slowing down your production rate, but that shouldn't be a an issue if you're planning ahead far enough.
if you want minerals, just get the mineral supplement pill of choice and crush it up in the mix before you bake. you wont taste it at all.
The human tongue can sense less than 1 teaspoon of sugar in a gallon of water. I think you would taste the pills (just based on the smell and taste of those pills) but that is a good idea! Maybe the other stuff will cover it up.
You should be able to find True Lemon, True Lime and True Orange in any large grocery store. They are a powdered citrus juices which you could add to the batter to take down the sweetness without the changing the consistency. The zest from fresh citrus would also add a little bitterness. I've used True Lemon to brighten the flavor when I make lemon meringue pie if I didn't have fresh lemons. I add it both to the filling and to the meringue.

That's a pretty good idea. It would be a bit less risky than the vinegar I used to try and cut the sweetness this time around.
I was just looking through old messages and remembered this: If you don't want a citrusy-sour, try "Sour Salt". You might have to look in the Kosher products section. It's dried citric acid.

I thought this was a lovely idea, so I thought I'd try, too. I am gluten-intolerant, so here's my gluten-free version. It lasted on in a Tupperware container on the counter for 3 weeks just fine and probably would have lasted longer, except people (including me) kept sneaking just a little bit. I used banana for the fruit base, pecans, cashews, and sunflower seeds for the nuts, and raisins, dried blueberries, and dried cherries for the fruit.
This recipe doesn't use eggs, so it is allowed to lick the bowl. The combination of grain and chickpea gives a complete protein.
• ¼ cup amaranth flour
• ¼ cup chickpea flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp guar gum
• ½ tsp calcium carbonate (=600 mg calcium) - optional
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ½ cup sunflower seeds or chopped pecans, cashews, and/or other nuts/seeds
• ½ cup dried fruit of choice, chopped if needed to the size of raisins or a bit smaller
• 1 mashed banana or ¼ cup apple sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup chia seeds or flaxseeds
• ½ cup peanut butter
Preheat oven to 325oF. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the amaranth flour, chickpea flour, cinnamon, guar gum, calcium, and salt. If at all lumpy, run the flour through a sieve.
Chop any nuts, seeds, or dried fruit that needs chopping. Add to the flour mix and stir well.
Mash the banana in a medium-sized, falt-bottomed bowl. Add the honey and vanilla and stir well. Add the chia seeds and beat with an electric beater.
If the peanut butter is cold, put it in a small glass or ceramic bowl and heat it for about 30 seconds in the microwave until it is soft. Add to the banana mix and cream or beat together.
Add the peanut butter mix to the flour-fruit-and-nut mix and stir until combined.
Spoon the dough evenly into the baking pan. Use the bowl of a spoon to swirl and pat in delicate circles until the dough is spread out evenly and about 1" thick. A spatula helps to get all the dough out of the bowl and off the spoon.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until the surface of the bars is lightly browned, the bars have separated slightly from the sides of the pan, and a probe inserted into the middle comes out dry. Put the probe in at an angle so you don't scratch your baking pan.
Let cool completely before turning the baked dough out onto a cutting board and cutting into 16 bars.
Great! Wondering about a gluten and dairy-free version of this. I'm gonna try your recipe!
I'm wondering if Coconut Water may be a good substitute to regular water. Not sure on it's bacterial resistance, but it is a staple for the deserted island (though can cause diarrhea in large doses). It tends to contain more potassium per ounce than a banana, which is important for muscle exertion, and other electrolytes. Also other super foods such as Acai berries (which can be found dried as well), soy nuts (there is even a soy nut butter), and the like can add some nutrition density. The big trick is having the nutrition needed for physical activity. But so far great stuff
I made these for an overnight hike when I climbed Katahdin. They were great and my hiking partner found them tasty enough to ask for the recipe. Thanks for posting this.
I used Vanilla flavored Body Fortress Whey protein sold at the biggest box store there is. The rice flour wasn't as difficult to come by as I expected. I greased the pan and used parchment paper which was probably over-kill but the brick came out with no trouble. I divided it in half and frozen one portion which I plan to thaw this weekend during another hike.
Hello and thanks for this great instructable. I am trying to veganize your recipe without compromising nutrition. I hope you don't mind the contribution.
I substituted pea protein for whey protein, almond butter for peanut butter, wheat germ for glutinous rice flour (I couldn't find it), and virgin coconut oil for sweetened condensed milk. I warmed the coconut oil to liquefy it. Because there wasn't really a "bonding" agent in my mix, there wasn't enough to make a good batter, and it never solidified. It tasted good, in a bowl, and it was easy to clean up since I used parchment paper, but it didn't turn out.
For those of you interested in trying those ingredients:
1. Coconut oil is watery thin when melted. I recommend melting it (on very low heat) first; it's going to melt in the oven anyway. Adjust the amount of water if using coconut oil instead of condensed milk - I used no water.
2. Almond butter is a fine substitute for peanut butter, but it usually has no added sugar, and it's generally thicker than PB. I added it to the coconut oil, warming it up to soften it before adding it to the dry ingredients.
3. Wheat germ isn't enough of a bonding agent on its own.
4. Pea protein is more expensive (but better in many ways) than whey, so if you aren't vegan and cost is an issue, you can find whey widely available for a lot less.
This combination of ingredients is not sweet AT ALL since there's no sugar in the coconut oil or the almond butter. I added cinnamon and liked the combination of cinnamon and the occasional burst of dried cranberry, but others may want to consider adding a dry sweetener.
For my next batch, I'm going to use quinoa flakes instead of rice flour or wheat germ, which would keep the recipe gluten free. In this form, quinoa has a consistency/taste similar to very sticky oatmeal, and since my issue was "too runny" I think it will be my solution. Also, since it's easier to digest as flakes, the quinoa adds calories, carbs, fiber, protein, calcium, and iron to the recipe.
I'll let you know how it goes and post photos/nutrition info if it works. Has anyone else tried to make this recipe vegan?
Intriguing. Thanks for adding so much information to the discussion. I was dubious about wheat germs potential as a bonding agent, so thank you for saving me the trouble of testing that. I know plenty of people have mentioned almond butter, but I can't say that I've ever seen it in the store. Where did you find it?
Try using parchment paper for lining the pan. Comes out easily, and bakes well. The wax paper coating tends to be absorbed into your food while cooking, but the parchment paper doesn't have a coating. Readily available as well..
Thank you,
This was an amazing weekend activity. I threw two batches together; one Date/Coconut and one Raisin/Apricot, and they both turned out great.
Is there any possible substitute for the peanut butter? Secondly, has anyone thought about molasses?
I'm glad you enjoyed the bars. I hope they served you well.
There are many possible substitutes for peanut butter, it simple depends on your rational for needing to remove it. Nutella or any other nut butter is a prime candidate. Melted chocolate or caramel are possible options as well.
I'm not too sure about molasses. The bars are already a little sweet for my taste, so molasses certainly wouldn't help that. I'm also not sure how it would bake. Since it is thinner than peanut butter, you may want to use less water in the recipe for example.
Another addition to up calories, fat, and flavor would be sesame seeds--preferably toasted. Many years ago, I made up a couple pans of a recipe very similar to yours for a friend who was going on an ice-climbing expedition, and I recall sesame seeds being a very important ingredient. He told me that, particularly on ice-climbing hikes, it's very easy to become, well, constipated. And not only does the sesame do what I mentioned, it helps to keep one regular. So, you might want to consider that!
(scribbles down note to try this) Trail constipation is terrible, though on my Appalachian Trail trip I had the opposite problem. The toasted flavor would also be another element to make things taste earthier and less like candy.
I actually up whole, raw quinoa in the recipe this time around, but I don't mention it in the instructable because I don't think I got any nutrition out of it. Mainly because it came out, well, whole.
You can pop your quinoa so that it comes out of the shell and you can absorb it better.
A tip as well: if you take some of the flour from the recipe and mix it with the dried fruit as you chop it, it helps mitigate the stickiness.
I gave this a go and came out with some very tasty bars. However, I used Oatmeal and ground it into flour, then used the protein, peanut butter, SC Milk, water, and finely chopped Pecans instead of Walnuts (as I already had some) to make a base. Then I split it into 3 and added extras...one batch had caramel and dried apple, another had coconut, dried banana and dried pineapple, and the third was chocolate and caramel. The "Hawaiian" one came out the best consistency...more like bars. Think I need to reduce the liquid on the other two.
However, one question: What protein powder do you use that you get 128g of Protein a cup? I bough cheaper stuff ($25 a big jug) and only get about 56g per cup, but even if I go up to the $50 a tub stuff it only has 24g per quarter cup scoop, and that's the most i could find. Everything else came in close, so I'm wondering if I need to double my protein powder. Would certainly help stiffen up my other two recipes...Thoughts?
I like your methodology. Where did you find the dried apples? I wanted to make an "apple pie" version of the bars but couldn't find any apples.
You could probably resolve the consistency problem in you other batches if you eliminated the water. I added the water to the recipe because I didn't have enough emulsifying ingredients. You melted caramel and chocolate is already fulfilling that function, making the water unnecessary.
I was a bit too lazy for my own good when I put the spreadsheet together and just copied the 128g figure over from the previous version of the bars (you caught me). Pulling the canister that I used this time out of the cupboard I can tell you that it is Six Star Pro Nutrition's "Whey Protein Plus, Elite Series" Vanilla Cream flavor. $18 from Wal-Mart. It has 30g protein per quarter cup serving. So 120g per cup.
If you decide to go off-recipe (strongly encouraged, especially if you find a way to beat me in nutrition, taste, or portability) I highly recommend creating a spreadsheet to track your nutrition numbers. Doubling your protein powder will have a significant negative impact on your calorie and carbohydrate numbers. You're diluting the other ingredients with protein powder. That's the delicate balance you have to strike every time you fiddle with the quantities.
It was your apple pie idea that inspired me to even look for the apples ;-) I found then at a store called Sprouts. They bill themselves as a farmers market but are really a chain much like Whole Foods. The apples themselves were not totally dry...more like portabella mushrooms but tougher.
I'll have to look for some higher protein powder...think that's what I'm missing. And good thought on the water.
Best part about it all is my kids and wife all like them...that makes them a winner!
hahaha, I wish I could get MY wife to like them. She is deeply suspicious of all of my "experiments" and even though she can't find anything specifically objectionable in this batch she says she has to dislike them on principle. It looks like you've been able to inspire a bit more trust in your crew.
And, how about adding flaxseed meal? It's yet another nutritional powerhouse, loaded with omega-3s, fiber, protein, and such. Its flavor is neutral, so you likely wouldn't notice it when added in.
I would always add electrolytes (table salt is a pretty good alternative) - effective rehydration should be part of the whole process. You could consider adding Diaoralyte powder, or similar? But that might add yet more sweetness and fruit flavour. I guess there must be a non-flavoured alternative.
Once again, something that never occurred to me, but probably should have. The theme of this instructable seems to be "dietary supplements as cooking ingredients." I'll have to look into picking something up and seeing how it contributes to the nutrition and affects the flavor.
I'm all or experimentation, but at some point a line does need to be drawn between what goes into the bars and what you pack in the food pouch next to the bars. I'll know that we've crossed that line when someone suggests putting a pocket knife and tent pegs in the recipe.
Or maybe a spin-off instructable for custom packpacking beverage recipe is in order.
I would recommend doing the wheat germ instead of the flour for the fiber content as it would add much of the same binding consistency as the flour.
If you wanted to do the chocolate try doing it on the stove instead of the oven that would get rid of the burnt taste so you would start with the chocolate once melted add the peanut butter and other wet ingredients and then add all the dry stuff and mix quickly as it will start to clump together then spread over a pan that is lined with greased wax paper. The wax paper will get it out of the pan the the grease will help the paper peel off. This i very similar to a recipe and technique I have for another recipe.
Another way to do the chocolate would be to drizzle some on the top while cooling.
I like seeing people create recipes and look forward to trying this one.
You would be hard pressed to compete with glutenous rice flour for binding capacity. It's the pectin or gelatin of the flour world. Still, I'm willing to try anything. Wheat germ provides a lot more healthy nutrition too. I always feel guilty eating glutenous rice flour (usually in the form of mochi) because its a lot of empty calories and carbs.
In the first version of the bars I did something very similar to what you're describing (melted chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, and SC milk together in a double boiler). I made several batches, and somehow it all came out tasting burnt. I blamed the chocolate, but it could have been my boiler technique, my baking time/temp, or a host of other factors. The chocolate on top is a very good idea I hadn't considered though. It would just have to be pretty dark chocolate to survive my 100F 98% humidity test scenario.
The wax paper (someone also suggested foil) is a very good idea for eliminating the sticking problem, and simplifying cleanup.
I made a batch once that didn't have any Carmel or condensed sugar. So maybe that is the difference. I want to try a recipe that uses honey that may be another idea to consider.
I want to try this but grease the pan with coconut oil. I wonder if it will enhance the flavor and get some extra MCFA's into the protein bars? Just a thought :-)
Sounds like you are trying to re-invent 'pemmican'.http://www.natureskills.com/wild-foods/recipe-pemmican/
I don't know what these taste like, but the commercial protein bars I've tried are like chewing cardboard (or at best, dried, tasteless beef) but with a hint of sweetness and cocoa. These sound positively delicious in comparison
It depends on how much you like sugar. I've got quite a sweet tooth, but like i said, even I think they're a bit too sweet. Interest in this instructable may crash after I make this analogy, but it tastes a bit like a fruitcake cookie. Partially I think because of the raisins. However they do are infinitely better than your average commercial protein bar.
Care for real challenge? What can you make for someone with a peanut allergy/intolerance? If this can be attained, it would be invaluable. Thanks
How wide is the allergy? All nuts or just peanuts? If it's just peanuts, replace the peanut butter with Nutella and you're set. My brother and I actually ate a lot of Nutella when we went out hiking this time around.
My son is allergic to all tree nuts as well as peanuts. We use Sunbutter, made from sunflower seeds, as an alternative. Much better tasting than soy nut butter. Of course, he is also allergic to eggs and milk, so this recipe would still need some amendments. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Use Brewers Yeast or Primary Grown Yeast for for the nutrition booster. It contains all of the "B" vitamins in proper balance. It also contains all of the amino acids in proper balance. Most of the necessary minerals are also present in proper balance. Use less of this than the other ingredients. An eighth of a cup would be plenty and not overpower your other flavors. I personally like the taste of Brewers Yeast in water, but many people do like the taste and it must be disguised. (Brewers Yeast is not the same as baking yeast)
Vitamins "A", "D", and "E" are not present in the yeast, but should be well represented by your other ingredients. "A" can be obtained from prunes in place of or in addition to the raisins. "D" in the milk products, "E" in the grains, If you find them lacking adding Flax seed and Oats will improve the "E" and provide other benefits..
Using Xanthan Gum will help to bind the ingredients together without resorting to gluten, which you say some of your friends cannot eat. Oats will also help as a binder.
Consider using virgin coconut oil as your only oil, search Google for benifitsl
This is fantastic info. I've never looked for brewers yeast, or xanthan gum. Where do you find them? Do any standard brick-and-mortar stores carry them, or is it more of an internet order thing?
Do you think instead of using so much sweetened condensed milk you could use some bananas or apple sauce? This is just a theory, maybe you could validate it for me? Thanks for the awesome instructables.
I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the suggestion. I intentionally stayed away from fresh and wet ingredients (he says after putting half a cup of water in the recipe) because I was concerned about the risk of spoilage or molding. Keep in mind that these bars are intended to be carried in a backpack for a week of two in 100F and 98% humidity.
The sweetened condensed milk (hereafter called SC milk) is hard to replace for a number of reasons. First, it provides 789 calories, 133 grams of carbohydrates, and 18 grams of protein per cup. It's concentrated food. Second, it provides an effectively shelf stable liquid that allows the recipe to form a smooth batter and bake into homogenous bars.
I looked into using evaporated milk, but it only has a fraction of SC milk's nutritional numbers and I don't believe it's quite as stable. Using honey obviously wouldn't solve the sweetness problem. I suppose if you have a lot of time you could boil down plantain bananas or green apples into a fairly stable liquid without being too sweet, but I don't know if you could quantify the nutrition reliably. I'm still hoping that someone can clue me in to a nutrition, shelf stable liquid that I'm just not thinking of.
I was reading your comments, and thought I might suggest coconut oil. It's fat, so it's calorie dense at 9kcal/gram and stable. It's also an medium chain triglyceride(MCT) which is metabolized easily for energy. The high fat content would also make you feel full, and since it's metabolized slower than carbs, it would provide longer satiety. It's solid at room temperature, but melts easily, but I imagine that mixed with the other ingredients that it would solidify a bit more.
Genius! One of the problem I have whenever I rearrange my recipe is dilution. Almost any new ingredient I add brings down the average on at least one nutritional element. But coconut oil is so calorie dense it might work. I'll have to crunch the numbers, but if I scrap the sweetened condensed milk and replace it with the coconut oil and wheat germ I might average out ahead. And as you mentioned, melted coconut oil can also replace the important mixing/homogenizing function of the semi-liquid SC milk.

RM200,000 extra, PM announces additional reward for all Rio medalists
Posted on : 24-08-2016 | By : sabah today | In : National
SEPANG: The eight medal-winning athletes had a pleasant surprise when the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced an additional RM200,000 for each of them.
This is on top of the earlier reward under the national incentive scheme for winning an Olympic medal – RM100,000 for bronze, RM300,000 for silver and RM1mil for gold.
"It's the biggest acknowledgement of what the athletes did for the country," said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin,.
"Interestingly, not one of the athletes mentioned to me while I was there in Rio about getting any extra incentive if they do well.
"They never did it for the money but only wanted to give the best for the country."

Justin Mertz's season began with a bang and ended with praise.
The Grant County High School football return specialist opened the season with a bang, taking the opening kickoff of the 2007 season back for a touchdown en route to helping lift the Braves to a 20-2 victory over Pendleton County.
Recently, the junior's ability to score any time he returned a kickoff or punt was taken into account as the other coaches in the district named Mertz the Kentucky Football Coaches Association Class 5A, Region IV All-District Team's Special Teams Player-of-the-Year.
For seven seasons, Katelynn Bachman and Tara Mefford were integral parts in the success of the Williamstown High School volleyball team and recently their hard work and dedication paid off as both were named to the All-District Team.
"It is very rewarding after putting in so much time and effort," Bachman said of the honor.
For Mefford, the distinction was the first of her high school career.
"I was excited to get it and it is a good way to bring an end to my season," she said.
Coach Kelli Lee said both players were deserving of the award.
Since she was in the fourth grade, Williamstown High School senior Tara Mefford has known only one sport—volleyball.
"I have played ever since, and I just love playing volleyball," Mefford said.
Her attention to detail and love of the sport that both her parents played, have paid off as the senior signed a college scholarship to play at Union College this fall.
"This is probably one of the most exciting moments of my life, and I will remember today for a long time," said Mefford, who was recently named to the 32nd District All-District Team.
An eight-minute stretch was all it took for the Williamstown High School boys' basketball team to go from contenders to being knocked out of the 8th Region All "A" Classic on Jan. 23.
Holding onto a slim 25-23 lead heading into the third quarter, the Demons quickly found themselves trailing 51-39 en route to a 67-56 loss to Carroll County. The defeat dropped Williamstown to 2-13 on the season heading into this week.
Jaclyn Stith had no idea.
"I don't keep count of my points," said Stith.
After getting fouled during Williamstown High School's game against North Oldham on Jan. 21, Stith, a junior member of the Lady Demons basketball team, calmly toed the foul line, sinking a free-throw.
The buzzer sounded. Only then did Stith know for sure that she had just recorded her 1,000th career point. The free-throw was just one of her 23 points in the Lady Demons' 45-40 loss.
Hard work, attention to detail and a little believing have gone a long way for the Williamstown boys' junior varsity basketball team this season and they have a championship to show for it.
Recently, the Demons went 2-0 en route to capturing the Trimble County Invitational.The championship crown came as no surprise to head coach Dustin Plunkett.
"Everybody played extremely well and the kids did what they were supposed to do. We won because everybody did their part," said Plunkett.
Numerous times this season, Williamstown High School boys' basketball coach Stacey May had preached to his team the importance of playing until the final buzzer had sounded, regardless of the score.
On Jan. 15, the Demons (2-12) heeded the message, rallying back from a 14-point deficit to post a 44-43 victory over Lloyd Memorial. The win erased a three-game losing streak and doubled the total win output from last season, something that was not lost on the mind of senior forward Patrick Gatewood.
It began with a discussion as to what the goals would be for this year's Williamstown High School boys' basketball team and despite the fact that the Demons are 0-4 against four of the other six teams involved in the 8th Region All "A" Classic, the goal has not diminished—win the All "A" and advance to the state tournament in Richmond.
A lot has happened since the last time the Grant County and Williamstown girls' basketball teams met each other on the hardwood on Dec. 14, 2007, at Grant County. Grant County won 51-44.
For starters, the Williamstown Lady Demons entered the week with a 5-11 overall, 0-4 district record, and while they have lost seven of their last 11, the Lady Demons enter having won two of their last three and advanced to the finals of the All "A" Classic last week.
A successful season on the field is bringing the attention of several colleges for the Grant County High School football team.
Head coach Mike Davis said that six of his seven seniors have attracted college interest and while no offers have been made, he expects several before National Signing Day on Feb. 6.

Tom Colicchio, Noble Bourbon Maple Syrup
The Top Chef judge?s pick for maple syrup is made in barrels once used for aging bourbon. As you might expect, the taste has just a hint of alcohol, which makes this syrup great for pairing with buttery-rich pancakes or waffles.
Dorie Greenspan, Bonnie's Jams
The cookbook author and beloved cookie queen can't get enough of Bonnie's small-batch all-natural jams. (We don't know Greenspan's favorite flavor, but ours is peach ginger.)
Christina Tosi, Valrhona Cocoa Powder
Momofuku Milk Bar's Christina Tosi swears by Valrhona cocoa powder, which she buys in bulk from Amazon. We're inclined to trust the woman behind Crack Pie and Compost Cookies.
Sara Jenkins, Di Palo Cheese
Renowned Italian chef Sara Jenkins uses Di Palo cheeses for the sandwiches and pasta dishes at her New York City restaurants, Porchetta and Porsena. Though the specialty shop is also in Manhattan, most of the cheeses come from Italy--and can be shipped anywhere in the States.
José Andrés, Ozomatli
Between his 10-plus restaurants, Top Chef hosting duties and Iron Chef America title, José Andrés pretty much never sleeps. Enter Ozomatli, his go-to coffee brand.
Wylie Dufresne, Talenti Gelato
When he's not whipping up innovative, unpronounceable and sometimes downright crazy concoctions at WD-50 (sweetbreads with cucumber-lychee, tonic and fermented black bean, anyone?), Wylie Dufresne indulges in the slightly more conventional salted caramel gelato from Talenti. We repeat: Salted. Caramel. Gelato.
Eric Ripert, Haut-Brion
With three Michelin stars under his belt, it's no surprise that Le Bernardin's Eric Ripert favors the finer things in life. His favorite hostess gift? A magnum of Haut-Brion, of course. ($1,195)
Paul Qui, Red Boat Fish Sauce
Top Chef champion Paul Qui calls Red Boat Fish Sauce his secret weapon and uses it liberally on everything from barbecued brisket to summer salads.
Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Organic Avenue
Being around rich food all day can really make you crave...a juice cleanse? Or so says famed French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who recharges with Organic Avenue?s green juices.
April Bloomfield, Li-Lac Mint Cream Patties
Only 10 female chefs in America have earned a Michelin star--April Bloomfield has two (at NYC's The Spotted Pig and The Breslin). So we believe her when she says that Li-Lac's mint patties are way more decadent than our go-to drugstore Yorks.
There are lots of things we'd like to ask a world-renowned chef. 1. How are you not 500 pounds? 2. Seriously, how do you poach an egg? 3. Where do you do your grocery shopping?
As for that last one, we've got answers. Namely because we asked (OK, stalked) our favorite chefs to find out where they buy their goods and what they eat on their off days.

Los Angeles, July 27 (IANS) Singer Rod Stewart's daughter and model Kimberly Stewart, who is launching her own reality TV show to rival "Keeping up with The Kardashians", is surprised how the Kardashians have become a globally famous family.
The 35-year-old attended the renowned Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, with two of the Kardashian stars, and thinks it's "crazy" that their family is so famous, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I went to school with Kim and Kourtney, and I think it's amazing what they've done. It's crazy to think that they are the most famous family in the world. But every family is different," Kimberly told Sunday Times Style magazine.
Kimberly came into limelight with her own eponymously named show in 2010 and has rejoined the reality TV show in a new fly-on-the wall series – entitled "Stewarts & Hamiltons" – that will rival "Keeping up with The Kardashians".

Fee Structure for a million dollar portfolio?
33 RepliesJump to last post
Hi all!
Thanks for the awesome feedback so many of you have given since I started a few months ago!
I am looking for the fee structure you would charge a client with a half million to a million dollar portfolio. This does not include financial plans, analysis, etc. just the investment management fee. I have seen anywhere between 50bps to 200 bps in California. Then I found some guy charging a 100 bucks a month for any account
Thanks for you input.
What is the portfolio holding? and 500K-$1Mil is kind of a big gap..
If it was all fixed income then 40-65bps. Equities you could do 75bps-150bps. Depends on your costs, profit margins, what the client is willing to pay.
And are there SMA's involved? Or just you managing a portfolio of funds, ETF's, stocks, etc?
Hi: Portfolio will consist primarily of Mutual Funds and ETFs.
Thanks to everyone for your responses!
Why do people who aren't and have never been in this business believe they can create things that people who are in this business will want to buy?
Examples: leads, stockpicks, trading strategies, portfolio models like this guy thinks he's going to sell etc.

Examples: leads, stockpicks, trading strategies, portfolio models like this guy thinks he's going to sell etc.
Mutual fund portfolio wrap fee of 1.5%, IMHO, is a bit high. I love SMA's for the tax advantages.
I hope people are using SMAs purely as an alpha generator. Allocating to 5-6 different managers is old school. Core-satellite is how I prefer to roll. On a core portfolio of MF & ETFs, I would charge an advisory fee of 1.00-1.25% for that part. If I satellite an SMA to that, I would probably charge around 1.85% and then I would satellite some managed futures and a Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund, which pay trails of 1-3%. I'm in the Southeast.
My fee is .5% for a million dollar portfolio.
500k is .8%
After haircuts and ticket charges, etc. what is your average net for a $500k-$999,999 portfolio?
For a portfolio that is 70/30 or 60/40, you are selling yourself short. I assume you are using funds as opposed to SMA's?? A 500k acct is going to pay at least 1% with me, and 1mm is looking at .90'ish, depending on the mix.
I have low overhead and looking to be ALL-IN of 1.00% - 1.25% as suggested.
Sounds about right to me. I charge 1% on anything over 1 million if it's funds and etfs.
My fee is .5% for a million dollar portfolio.
500k is .8%
Do you also collect 12b-1's? That does seem a bit low unless you are talking fixed-income portfolios.
Tier the fees. No retroactive breakpoints. FIrst tier is at 250k, then 500k, then 1mm, North of 2mm is "negotiable".
Do you guys "tier" your fees? Or do you run them like mutual fund breakpoints?At my firm it's like "first 100K @ 1.5%, next 400K @ 1.25%, next 500K @ 1%, etc."
Have both. For my discretionary accounts it's like mutual funds under 500K 1.25% under $1MM 1.00%..
But for the firm managed stuff it is tiered.. I don't understand the point of the whole tier system...
You mean that's what you hope to charge if anyone with real money is deluded enough to hire you. I've read your posts enough to know better.
My fee is .5% for a million dollar portfolio.
500k is .8%
Good forum on this topic. From what I've seen, fee-billing types are all over the place. RIA Advisors have shared with me a wide range of billing options including:
1. Flat-Fee BPS
2. Tiered Fee Schedule
3. Sliding Scale Fee
3. Engagement Fee (i.e. Hourly Fee)
4. Income Based Fee
5. Net Worth Based Fee
6. Or some combination thereof
A good book I read on the subject of fee-billing types and how to find which one might work best for your practice is: To Fee or Not to Fee II written by Marc Lamontagne.

EINDHOVEN – Global population growth is making living spaces in the urban jungle shrink to the size of a paltry patio. Dutch designer Emma Wessel, graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, believes a 'lack of space in our cities calls for a more versatile use of interior products'. Her contribution to the dilemma is Palettes, a reference to the painter's mixing slab. Wessel created her collection of rugs and room dividers with pint-size apartments in mind. Playing with colour and shape, she gave each 'lively surface for a living space' more than a single purpose.
Palettes consists of woven surfaces composed of synthetic and cotton rope (the weft) and wood (the warp). The contrast between natural and man-made materials, and between hard and soft, led the way to her adaptable pieces, which encourage small spaces to think big.

Among the challenges many postsecondary students face in pursuing and completing their studies is an alarmingly high level of food insecurity. This is the key finding of a new report, based on a survey of almost 3,800 students at 34 two-year and four-year colleges across 12 states. The report defines food insecurity as "the lack of reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food."
Overall, 48 percent of survey respondents reported food insecurity within the previous 30 days. And, as explained in the report's preface, "contrary to popular stereotypes, most food insecure students are working and receiving financial aid, and many are on meal plans. Yet relatively few receive food stamps, reinforcing findings from reports by the Center for Law and Social Policy and others that highlight the thin and failing safety net for undergraduates."
The report's more detailed findings include the following:
- Twenty-two percent of respondents reported very low levels of food security that qualify them as hungry, including 25 percent at two-year colleges and 20 percent at four-year institutions.
- Food insecurity is more prevalent among the students of color surveyed: 57 percent of African-American students and 56 percent of Hispanic students, compared to 40 percent of non-Hispanic white students.
- More than half of all first-generation students (56 percent) in the survey were food insecure, compared to 45 percent of students who had at least one parent who attended college.
- Among the food-insecure students surveyed, 64 percent reported experiencing some type of housing insecurity — with 15 percent experiencing some form of homelessness in the past 12 months.
- Fifty-six percent of food-insecure students reported having a paying job, 43 percent were on a college meal plan and 75 percent received some form of financial aid.
- Only 25 percent of food-insecure students reported using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps.
Food and housing insecurity can have significant consequences for students' success in their postsecondary studies. For example, the survey found that 55 percent of respondents reported that these problems caused them not to buy a required textbook, 53 percent reported missing a class and 25 percent reported dropping a class. Given these impacts, the report concludes by stressing the need for action plans to immediately address this situation, and offers a number of recommendations for both colleges and policy-makers.

Cars today are light years ahead of where they were just a decade ago and all this new technology is actually saving lives. That's the conclusion of a study done by the Highway Loss Data Institute, a non-profit research group supported by the insurance industry. They looked at a variety of the latest safety systems and found at least a few which were making a big difference when it comes to automobile safety:
Particularly effective, the study said, are "forward collision avoidance systems," which alert drivers when they are quickly gaining on objects in their path and may crash. Some of these systems feature automatic braking if the driver fails to respond.
Car models available with this feature include the Mercedes-Benz CL Class sedan, the Volvo XC60 and the Acura MDX SUVs.
The Highway Loss Data Institute found that property damage liability claims were 14% lower for models from Acura and Mercedes-Benz featuring forward collision avoidance systems, including automatic braking, than in models without them. Property damage liability claims include damage to other vehicles caused by the insured vehicle.
The Volvo autonomous braking system reduced crashes by 10%, though that finding wasn't deemed statistically significant.
Injury claims also dipped slightly for most vehicles with forward collision avoidance systems, though not by a statistically significant amount in most cases.
Not to be overlooked are basic safety systems such as seat belts and air bags which have also been shown to save lives, but which are now considered "yesterday's news" when it comes to automobile technology.
As more vehicles continue to hit the roads and even more new drivers emerge from their garages, it stands to reason that the incidents of traffic crashes are going to go up. Automobile manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to counter this trend and keep everyone, and their cars, as safe as possible.

Ford announced today that it will debut a new version of its MyKey technology which will allow parents to block explicit satellite radio content in the vehicle and prevent their kids to view or listen certain types of television and Internet content. Set to make its debut in 2011 as standard equipment on the Ford Taurus and Explorer, MyKey was designed in order to help parents encourage safe teen driving habits.
Moreover, the key can be programmed to limit a vehicle's top speed, limit radio volume and encourage safety-belt usage by muting the radio until front occupants buckle up.
For those who don't know, the current MyKey system is found as standard on most North American vehicles after launching in summer 2009 and allows parents to limit the vehicle's top speed to 80 mph, with chimes sounding at 45, 55 and 65 mph. The upgraded MyKey will allow them to limit a vehicle's top speed at any of four different settings – 65, 70, 75 or 80 mph.
Graydon Reitz, director at Ford Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering, remarked that the American carmaker wants parents to be assured that their children are following practical household rules even inside a car. He remarked that many parents like this feature and are more willing to let their teenagers drive the car more often if the vehicle is featured with technologies like MyKey, with teens approving of restrictions to gain more time behind the wheel.
A survey conducted by Schoen & Berland for Ford showed that almost 60 percent of parents of teen drivers consider as an important technology the new MyKey feature that enables them to block explicit radio content. The survey also showed that 85 percent of parents with teen drivers also consider the speed-limiting feature as important. The new Mykey allows parents to set appropriate and even higher speed limits for their teens who are transitioning from town cruising to highway driving.
MyKey already allows users to control audio volume and alerts them when the fuel is nearing a low point. Moreover, MyKey encourages safety-belt usage by turning off the radio volume until front occupants buckle themselves up. Over half of the parents surveyed said that they would permit their teens to use their family vehicle more often if it comes with MyKey. Around 45 percent of teens surveyed said they would approve of MyKey restrictions if it meant being allowed to drive more often.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has said that teens are more likely to commit speeding, which is considered as a factor in around 30 percent of crashes resulting to death. Moreover, teens are less likely to secure themselves on safety belts than older drivers.
Reitz remarked that MyKey helps parents set reasonable limits for their teens as they develop their driving skills. Reitz said that Ford developed MyKey's functions to allow it to be installed on multiple vehicle lines, thereby enabling the carmaker to mass market the feature as well as other Ford innovations like SYNC.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Pace Center for Girls, Inc., Jacksonville, FL, USA
Our group worked closely with the staff at PACE to purge, declutter, and organize PACE's main office areas, files, storage areas, donations and conference room. From our first interactions with the staff, it was evident how dedicated the employees are to improving the lives of the young women who participate in their program. Their enthusiasm for the organization pushed us all to work a little harder and a little longer to create an even better environment for the girls and the staff.

Is it any wonder that men (by which I mean grown up boys) confine their gardening to the lawn nowadays?
There's no doubt about it, gardening was more fun in the old days. You didn't just venture out with a spade or a trowel; if the mood took you, you could use a stick of dynamite or a blow torch instead. The dynamite was used to prepare beds for cultivating as an alternative to double-digging, or for removing tree stumps or for making a hole in which to plant a tree. Trials were carried out under the auspices of the Royal Horticultural Society which showed that explosives placed 18 inches apart and 3 feet deep would prepare the soil more effectively than traditional digging methods.
Even more fun could be had with a blow torch. There were two types – the Aetna, which produced a 9 inch flame and the Tarantella which gave a 14 inch flame. The main purpose of the blow lamp was to kill off weeds but they were also used against garden pests such as the turnip fly and woolly aphids, and the most fun was had by going out at night and zapping slugs and snails.
This is how it was summed up in a lecture to the RHS by Herbert E. Durham Sc.D.,M.B., B.C., F.R.C.S.:
"Notwithstanding the addition of explosives and blow-lamps to our gardening apparatus, I think that you will probably agree with me that we have not yet arrived at a sort of horticultural millennium when all deep cultivation will be done with explosives, when the surface weeding will be done with a blow-lamp and specimens of the spade and fork become some of the most valued antiques in a museum of the Royal Horticultural Society".*

The biggest, most successful businesses you can think of all started small and grew their way to massive success. What was their secret? Is there something those companies have in common - from Microsoft to McDonald's to U.S. Steel - that helped them grow from small businesses to globe-spanning corporations?The answer is "yes," and it's right here. The common thread between all big-growth companies is their reliance on the art of what online business pioneer Mark Joyner calls Integration Marketing to spur methodical, reliable growth from one level to the next. Joyner's Integration Marketing theory is a radically new business approach that has already built a fanatical base of tens of thousands of entrepreneurs who are using it to pull off what some are referring to as "business miracles" with a zero-dollar ad budget.Now, Mark Joyner finally puts this amazing business-transforming methodology on audio and tells you how to apply it to your own business, no matter its size. Integration Marketing is a simple, innovative, and effective system that helps you find hidden marketing opportunities, bring in a limitless supply of new customers, and grow your business steadily, predictably, and strategically. Most importantly, it takes the guesswork out of marketing by using predictive math to gauge the likelihood of success for any new marketing opportunity - before you commit time and resources to it. Even better, once you put Integration Marketing to work in your business, the methodology will continue to work without any additional effort. No longer will you miss out on profit opportunities that are right under your nose. You'll be able to see your competitive battlefield clearly and develop a flexible, intelligent strategy that will keep your business in the black.This isn't just some new buzzword for the same old ideas - it's a complete suite of strategic tools that make marketing accountable, reliable, predictable, and effect...More

New York Racing Association officials listed the following 3-year-olds that did not start in the Preakness as possible Belmont competitors: Azillion, Essence of Dubai, Perfect Drift, One Tuff Fox, Puzzlement, Sunday Break, Tails Of The Crypt, Tracemark, Windward Passage, and Wiseman's Ferry. However, Scott Blasi, an assistant to trainer Steve Asmussen, said on Sunday that Windward Passage probably would not go to New York.
Who will challenge War Emblem in the Belmont (gr. I) and try to stop his Triple Crown bid?Wayne Lukas said Sunday morning that Proud Citizen, who was second in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and third in the Preakness (gr. I), will show up for sure. He also did not rule out Table Limit, who was 11th in the Preakness.Nancy Alberts, the owner, breeder, and trainer of Preakness runner-up Magic Weisner, said the Belmont was a possibility for her gelding. Before making a final decision, she wanted to see how Magic Weisner came out of the race and talk to his Preakness jockey Richard Migliore. Alberts was visited at her Laurel barn on Sunday morning by Spectacular Bid's former trainer, Bud Delp, who was recently elected to the Hall of Fame."He asked me why I was walking my own horse. Can't you afford to hire help? I told him that I wanted to walk him," Alberts said.Asked in a telephone interview if she had a timetable for making up her mind about the Belmont, Alberts replied: "I'll know how he (Magic Weisner) is in three or four days."No other trainers of Preakness runners expressed an interest in sending their horses to the Belmont. However, Harlan's Holiday's trainer, Kenny McPeek, said he was considering running Sir Barton Stakes winner Serava in the Triple Crown's third leg.

An 'Employee statement' is designed for employers who require a simple document to outline the main terms and conditions of employment and meet their legal obligation to provide a written statement to an employee.
An 'Employee statement' will cover all the required terms and conditions of employment such as pay, hours, place of work, job title and specification and holiday entitlement, but where other optional contractual terms are necessary for a particular role, a 'Contract of employment' or 'Employment agreement' may be a more suitable document.
Start your 'Employment statement' now
By law, the 'Employee statement' must be given to the employee within two months of them starting work unless they will be employed for less than a month.


text: Several of you replied to my post below about tree installation. Well, I appreciate the advice and we will DEFINITELY keep it in mind for the future, but here are the many ways we were screwed (and the several ways we screwed ourselves) for this job. This was our first "big" landscaping job, and it has NOT gone our way. Oh, we're doing the job, but we really should have turned it down. We didn't, because we're new and need money and stupidly let ourselves get walked on, but we should have and we know it. So here's what happened: Customer calls originally about 2 weeks ago. Says he wants to put in some trees, could we do that? We say sure, and set up a meeting to go out and look at the property. He's a regular mowing customer, by the way. He says he has a pretty good idea of what he wants, like "Crepe Murples." This was our first clue that the guy was going to be a pain, seeing as he made up a tree thinking he sounded knowledgeable. So we go out, bring a bunch of pictures of trees we think will work in his yard. He doesn't like any of them and wants to go pick them out himself at a garden center. He doesn't want our help picking them out. We tell him the name of the garden center we like to use and ask him to call us when he has more of an idea what he wants. Calls yesterday and says he's bought 7 trees, and he needs us to install them over the weekend. We ask how much he paid for the trees, he says $1000. "7 trees for $1000?" we ask? Yes - he got the wholesale price because he told them his landscaper would come pick them up and pay for them. Well, thanks for running that by us first, buddy. We already HAD a small landscaping job lined up for over the weekend, but no problem, we can move that up and squeeze him in. He says he doesn't care about the price, just do the work. Judging by the types of trees we know that nursery has, we tell him installation will be $100 per tree, plus $100 for delivery. He says that seems high, he has to talk to his wife. We tell him it's fair, but go ahead and talk to his wife. He calls back and says he called a couple other landscaping places and they told him their formula for calculating tree installs (?????) and that they would all charge 1.5x the cost of the materials. Therefore our $1800 total bid is high, he wants to pay $1500. We tell him there's no way we can do it for that, and that the landscaping places we called (who were dumb enough to give out their formula) were probably going off of retail price. Retail for his plants was more like $1300, which means the job should be $1950. He says that's stupid, since he knows how much the plants cost, and he's not paying 1.5x retail price when he knows the wholesale price. He says he will compromise at $1700 (which basically means we're knocking off the delivery charge). We STUPIDLY agreed to this, since we need to buy some equipment and this job will let us do it earlier. We SHOULD have increased the price because of delivery, because of the rush on the job, and because he's a pain. But we didn't. I then go to the nursery to arrange the pick up of the trees (and to double check and make sure they are what we thought they were, which they were), and while I'm there I talk to the owner. I want to know how a customer of mine found out the contractor price for the plants. Turns out it was a new guy working who showed him the list. The owner got on the speaker for the entire store (that's right, no private meeting, customers and cashiers and passers-by all heard it) and yells at the employee for giving a contractor's customer the contractor price. That had to teach him a lesson. But it still didn't help us. Anyway, we get the trees squared away and I call the guy to ask when I can come out and get him to sign a contract. He LAUGHS at me (guy's a lawyer) and says "oh, you need a contract to do landscaping?" I tell him we're not picking up any plants or doing any work until we've got his signature agreeing to pay us. He says he's going out of town, but he'll sign it the DAY OF the work. I tell him that there's other things in the contract that are his responsibility, like marking the utility lines, and if they're not taken care of, we can't do the work. He says he'll call the utility company and ask them to get it done before the weekend. Apparently he thinks he can get anyone to do anything on a moment's notice. So we're going on Sunday, contract in hand, to get this jerk to sign it and hopefully do work that is only partially worth our while. Lessons learned from this: 1. NEVER let a customer talk us down based on what someone "else" does. If they want someone else's price, hire them. 2. Put in place a Rush Fee on jobs that customers schedule at the last minute. 3. Never back down on a delivery charge. I bet that wasn't included in the "formula." 4. Never let a customer know what we pay for materials (granted, it wasn't our fault this time, and now it never will be!) 5. Sometimes, a job just isn't worth it. 6. We need to adopt a "my way or the highway" attitude when dealing with customers like this. Not one aspect of this job is going the way we want it to. If a customer wants to be such a control freak, they either need to pay more or take a hike. I'm sure there were more lessons learned, but those are off the top of my head. I look forward to the future when it's not our first season and we don't need to keep every customer. Trust me, we don't need to be told we were stupid for letting this guy walk all over us - we know that. Let this more be a lesson learned the hard way by us so that anyone new to this profession doesn't have to go through the same thing.

With the possible exception of his ripe age of 35, the Baltimore Ravens weren't really taking any big chances when they signed wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. in 2014.
Over his prior, 13-year career with the Carolina Panthers, Smith was a huge asset for that team, amassing 12,197 receiving yards for the best total in the franchise's history. He also set all-time Panthers' records for receiving touchdowns, with 67 over 13 seasons, and overall receptions with 836.
2014, his first year with the Ravens, is shaping up to be another solid year for the reliable Smith, with four touchdowns and 728 yards in 10 games.
Smith has made the Pro Bowl five times. After breaking his leg in 2004 against the Green Bay Packers, Smith returned in 2005 to post his strongest season ever, leading the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, an accomplished that got him recognized as the Pro Football Writers Association Comeback Player of the Year.
Also in 2005, Smith's teammates voted for him to receive the Ed Block Courage Award, an annual honor bestowed on one player from each NFL team. The award originated in Baltimore, and is given by the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation, which raises awareness of child abuse and neglect.
Smith is currently under a three-year contract with the Ravens.
In an August interview with Greg Bedard of the MMQB (mmqb.si.com), "It Makes Me Feel Very Uncomfortable," Smith explained the name change on the back of his jersey, from "Smith" to "Smith Sr."
"When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a junior," Smith told MMQB, adding that he and his wife's third son is "Stevonne Smith Jr."
In recent games, another Smith, Torrey Smith (unrelated) had supplanted Steve Smith's status as primary wide receiver. But on Monday in New Orleans, Steve Smith managed another standout performance, making four receptions for 87 yards, including a touchdown.
The 35-year-old also tangled with Saints' safety Kenny Vaccaro, proving he has plenty of scrap left.

This style of hat is a cross between a cowboy hat and a fedora. Typically has less of a cowboy look, but still some of a western appeal without the brim being too wide in most cases like a cowboy hat. The weight an Aussie can be a dress weight or western weight. (Per request of each hat made)
A genuine Panama hat is hand woven from Cuenca Cane. This plant is found naturally growing at high elevations in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. Panama's are a completely different from a straw hat. They are much more durable and can be serviced for cleaning. A Panama hat has a richer look and does not absorb sweat like the cheaper straw hats do.

Unix Primer. Unix Shell. The shell is a command programming language that provides an interface to the UNIX operating system. The shell is a "regular" program. It displays a prompt, waits for user input, and interprets the command line entered by the user.
Download Policy: Content on the Website is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use and may not be sold / licensed / shared on other websites without getting consent from its author.While downloading, if for some reason you are not able to download a presentation, the publisher may have deleted the file from their server.
For Vim tutorial type on command line
<ctrl-h> t
See Supporting Material on CascadeLMS
The shell should start you in your home directory. This is your individual space on the UNIX system for your files. You can find out the name of your current working directory by typing:
The system normally will display : /Users/username
Change to a sub-directory "sub" by typing:
cd sub
No matter where in the directory structure you are, you can always get back to your home directory by typing:
cd(without specifying a directory name).
From your home directory, create a new subdirectory named "primer" for working through this tutorial:
mkdir primer
You can remove an empty subdirectory with the following command (but don't do this right now):
rmdir primer
Now change to the "primer" subdirectory, making it your current working directory:
cd primer
Since you just created the directory "primer", nothing will be listed because the directory is empty.
Create your first file called first using the Emacs or Vim text editor to type in text:
My name is Joe Doe.
This is my first file.
Now when you list your files, you will see file "first" listed:
You can view a text file with the following command:
cat firstMy name is Joe Doe.
This is my first file.
("cat" is short for concatenate - you can use this to display multiple files together on the screen.) If you have a file that is longer than your 24-line console window, use instead "more" to list one page at a time or "less" to scroll the file down and up with the arrow keys. Don't use these programs to try to display binary (non-text) files on your console - the attempt to print the non-printable control characters might alter your console settings and render the console unusable.
Copy file "first" using the following command:
cp first 2ndBy doing this you have created a new file named "2nd" which is a duplicate of file "first". The file listing reveals:
ls2nd first
Now rename the file "2nd" to "second":
mv 2nd secondListing the files still shows two files because you haven't created a new file, just changed an existing file's name:
lsfirst second
If you "cat" the second file, you'll see the same sentence as in your first file:
cat secondMy first file.
"mv" will allow you to move files, not just rename them. Perform the following commands:
mkdir sub
mv second sub
ls subsecond
lsfirst sub
You can list even more information about files by using the "-l" option with "ls":
ls -l-rw-r--r-- 1 username group 15 Jan 4 16:26 firstdrwxr-xr-x 2 username group 512 Jan 4 17:11 sub(where "username" will be your username and "group" will be your group name). Among other things, this lists the creation date and time, file access permissions, and file size in bytes. The letter 'd' (the first character on the line) indicates the directory names.
Next perform the following commands:
cd sub
ls -l-rw-r--r-- 1 username group 4 Jan 4 16:55 second
cd ..
Finally, clean up the duplicate files by removing the "second" file and the "sub" subdirectory:
rm sub/second
rmdir sub
ls -l-rw-r--r-- 1 username group 15 Jan 4 16:26 first
man - command for online manual
dir name + file name
myProg.cpp (a file under current dir)
bin/myProg.cpp (a file under subdir "bin" of current dir
cd ..
cd ../sub2
.cpp : C++ source code file
g++ myProg.cpp
Compiles myProg.cpp, generates an object file, link the object file (with libraries), and generates an executable file called "a.out".
g++ myProg.cpp –o myProg
Same as above, however the executable has a name "myProg"
For example, using default name a.out for executable, enter on command line:
uc ./a.out
DON'T forget ./ to indicate current directory
ls > myfiles
more < myfiles
cat < myfiles > myfilesoutput
ls > temp
more < temp
rm temp
