Should you hire a general contractor or a roofer
It can be challenging these days to find a good roofing contractor. Should you hire a general contractor or a roofer? Is there really a difference between the two? How can you know if the Frisco roofing contractors that you hire will be the best ones for the job? Use the following tips to help you find an experienced and reputable roofing contractor.
Hire a local roofing company. It is a good idea to hire a local roofing contractor who has worked in the community for many years. You don't want a fly-by-night roofer who is here today but then gone tomorrow. Following a storm, there are some companies that will come from out of state and attempt to get business from you. Ask your family and friends if they know of any good local roofing contractors that they are happy with.
Contact your insurance company. Quite often they can be an excellent resource and can provide you with a list of contractors they have worked with in the past. The best situation is having your insurance adjuster and contractor meet on your property in order to both assess the damage at the same time. Make sure you understand what your deductible is, what your insurance company has agreed to pay you and everything that you can expect as you move forward with the process.
Get multiple bids. Many homeowners become too focused on what the price is for roofing work. Keep in mind that the cheapest price won't get you the best roof usually. However, it is important to get a competitive price. That is why getting multiple bids is so important. Meet with roofing contractor in person so that you can ask question, gain a good understanding of what their plan is, and get quotes in writing so that you can compare them.
Check on associations, insurance and warranties. Roofing contractors should always warranty the work they do. They also need to be insured (liability insurance and workers' compensation) and bonded. See if they belong to any reputable associations or partner with other reputable companies.
Good communication is key. For any business, communication is critical, no matter what industry it is a part of. If you are unable to get in touch with your contractor, or don't stay on the same page throughout the entire process, that can be a very big problem. Pay attention to whether they call you back right away or not. Is everything put into writing? Do they follow through with the promises they make? These are all things you should look for.

Photodynamic therapy vs. cryotherapy for actinic keratoses
Photodynamic therapy (PDT, which uses topical agents and light to kill tissue) appears to better clear actinic keratoses (AKs, a common skin lesion caused by sun damage) at three months after treatment than cryotherapy (which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze lesions).
AKs are rough, scaly lesions on the skin typically found on individuals with fair complexions who have had lots of sun exposure. The lesions have the potential to become cancer. PDT is an increasingly popular treatment.
The authors compared PDT with cryotherapy in a meta-analysis of four studies that included 641 patients with a total of 2,174 AKs treated with cryotherapy and 2,170 lesions treated with PDT.
Patients treated with PDT had a 14 percent better chance of complete lesion clearance at three months after treatment than cryotherapy for thin AKs on the face and scalp.
"An analysis of the effectiveness of PDT compared with other treatments may help physicians decide what role it should play in their own clinical practice." Gayatri Patel, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of California Davis Medical Center, in Sacramento, and colleagues said in their JAMA Dermatology article.
In a related editorial, Harvey Lui, M.D., F.R.C.P.C., of the University of British Columbia, writes: "Notwithstanding the apparent superiority of PDT to cryotherapy, the light-based approach to treating AK has three major limitations. The current financial remuneration model is a major disincentive. … Although PDT appears to be a simple concept, in practice optimal results may require longer drug incubation times and perhaps light-dose fractionation to generate a sufficient tissue effect. … Finally, local pain owing to photosensitizer activation during light exposure is perhaps the most striking adverse effect that clinicians need to anticipate and manage during PDT."
"All three of these limiting factors necessitate added time and resources compared with the relatively brief outpatient visits for cryotherapy, in which liquid nitrogen is simply and efficiently dispensed to the skin," Lui notes.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. – Matthew Young threw seven strong innings and Spencer Locati had four RBIs to lead visiting Whitworth to a 10-4 win over Willamette University in the finale of a Northwest Conference baseball series on Sunday afternoon at Linfield College.
Earlier on Sunday the host Bearcats pulled out a 4-3 win in 10 innings in the completion of a game suspended by darkness on Saturday evening. The action was moved to Linfield on Sunday because of wet conditions at Willamette's John Lewis Field.
The win in the finale gave Whitworth a series win over Willamette and helped the Bucs improve to 7-7 overall and 2-1 in the NWC. The Bearcats dropped to 8-9, 4-5.
Whitworth returns home to host George Fox in a three-game NWC series next weekend.
Completion Game 2: Willamette 4, Whitworth 3 (10 innings)
Brendan Natuzzi's RBI single in the bottom of the tenth inning gave Willamette a walk-off 4-3 win in the second game of the series.
Tyler Bailey's RBI single in the top of the ninth tied the game 3-3 on Saturday evening at Santiam High School before darkness suspended the contest heading to the 10th inning.
Whitworth scored first in the second inning when Bailey came home on Casey Isa's fielder's choice.
Willamette built a 3-1 lead with a run in the second and two more runs in the fourth. Eric Del Prado and Jack Brett had solo home runs for the Bearcats.
Taylor Poffenroth's home run pulled the Pirates within 3-2 in the top of the seventh.
Ryan Kingma started on the mound for Whitworth but only threw one inning. TJ Orchard followed with 5.2 innings of relief, giving up three runs on five hits. Brady Simmelink tossed the final 2.1 innings with no-hit relief to get the Bucs into the tenth frame. Austin Rice went a third of an inning in the tenth and allowed one run on one hit to fall to 0-1 this season.
Natuzzi was also the pitcher of record for Willamette. After getting the final two outs to preserve a tie on Saturday night, he threw the 10th inning on Sunday to pick up his second win of the season.
Game 3: Whitworth 10, Willamette 4
Young allowed only two runs, one earned, in seven innings to earn the pitching victory and improve to 2-2 this season. He scattered eight hits.
After the Pirates scored their first run on an infield out in the top of the second inning, the Bucs made it 3-0 in the third. Poffenroth led off with a double and scored on Joel Condreay's double. Condreay eventually came home on a balk.
Willamette got within 3-1 in the bottom of the third, scoring an unearned run on Young's fielding error.
Whitworth broke the game open with five runs in the top of the sixth inning. Bailey and Nicholas Nerud pounded back to back doubles for the first run. Then four straight walks loaded the bases and drove in two more runs. Locati's two-run single finished out the rally.
Willamette got back within 8-4 with a single run in the seventh and two more in the eighth. Del Prado's home run drove in the two runs in the eighth frame.
Locati got those two runs back with a two-run homer of his own in the top of the ninth for Whitworth. It was Locati's first drive of the season.
Mathew Pulliam tossed the final two innings for the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits. Brandon Nelson started on the mound for Willamette and took the loss after allowing three runs on four hits in five innings.
Locati and Bailey each had two hits for Whitworth.

Monkeys fling poo, just like us!
There's this bargain bookstore that I go to frequently in Toronto where I've found such wonderful things as Carl Zimmer's Parasite Rex and Evolution: The Triumph of an Idea, which you just can't find anywhere else these days (on sale, that is). The past couple of times I've been in this bookstore, I've covetously passed by a largish coffee table book on apes, very tempted to buy it, but each time passing it up because of the $25 price tag and the fact that it is light on fact, heavy on photos. I like info, so that's a bit of a problem. That said, many of the photos are hilarious and just prove that you don't need to put a chimp in a tuxedo to make it funny.
However, I'm thinking that I should be picking it up, and not just to laugh at the ape antics. Part of the reason religious fundies don't like evolution is the "I don't come from no monkey" mindset (complete with bad grammar). They, and sadly this "they" includes my wife, think it's a horrible, demeaning idea that we're related to grimy, stupid, poo-flinging animals. Perhaps if they just stretched their brains more they'd see how similar we actually are to our ape cousins: that they're highly social, that they're intelligent problem-solvers, and that they have well-developed personalities. There is nothing wrong with being related to an orangutan1.
On the other hand, most of these people probably have already seen nature shows on tv and just filter the ape stuff through God coloured glasses. In which case my whole argument here is just rationalizing the fact that, if it's still on the shelf, I'm buying that ape book the next time I'm there.
1 FYI, I have an uncle who strongly resembles an orangutan. He was actually conceived in Borneo, where orangutans live. We don't want to think about what this potentially means for cross-species fertility.

Long considered a financial gateway to China, more recently Hong Kong has emerged as the leading destination for mineral companies seeking to raise capital in Asia. In June 2010, in an effort to encourage listings by overseas mineral companies, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ("Exchange") updated its requirements for the listing of mineral and petroleum companies. The new Listing Rules clarified the process by which exploration stage companies might benefit from a waiver from the Exchange's normal financial tests which they might otherwise not have satisfied. The Exchange has openly declared its desire to see Hong Kong develop as an international hub for extraction companies. It is expected that an increased concentration of listed mining companies will lead to increased investor awareness and knowledge about the mining sector thereby re-affirming Hong Kong's reputation as a mining friendly market.
Hong Kong listings are increasingly viewed as fundamental to mineral companies' "China strategy". Over the past decade China has been the dominant contributor to global growth in mineral resource demand and it is likely to remain the world's single largest consumer of natural resources for the foreseeable future. There remains room for growth. Although a voracious consumer of natural resources, China's per capita consumption of mineral commodities is still relatively low compared to that of more advanced economies. The Chinese government protects its own mineral resources while simultaneously encouraging Chinese investors to "go out" to explore for investment and/or exploration opportunities with regards to resources it has identified as strategically important such as bauxite, chromium, cobalt, copper, gold, nickel, oil and gas, and platinum metals. The Chinese central government, together with certain provinces, stockpiles designated resources, including cadmium, cobalt, copper, manganese, petroleum, copper, indium, lead and zinc. These polices have been introduced despite China being a prodigious producer of mineral commodities, underlining the fact that anticipated future demand will continue to exceed domestic supply. China is currently the world's largest market in aluminum, steel and copper.
In keeping with Chinese government policy, Chinese investors are increasingly looking at opportunities in the mining and natural resource sector. Such interest is not limited to the larger global names but extends to junior mineral companies seeking to develop assets in Mongolia, Central Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines and further afield in Africa and South America.
The combination of Hong Kong's strong legal system, international accounting standards, sound regulatory framework, free flow of capital and information and advanced clearing and settlement infrastructure makes it an ideal choice for mineral companies pursuing initial public offerings. Hong Kong led the world in total value of new listings in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Key advantages to listing on the Exchange include the following:

The mind and emotions is traditionally the area most associated with personality disorders, and particularly, with trying to find a 'cure' for them.
But as you've hopefully been learning over the last few posts, there's actually very little you can do with 'talk therapy' alone to heal Cluster 'B' personality disorders, as a defining trait of most Cluster 'B' people, including narcissists, is that they can never admit to being wrong.
Now, that doesn't mean that Cluster 'B' never go for therapy, because some actually do (usually, as the result of an ultimatum from an exasperated relative to GET HELP, or else…)
But traditional talk therapy rarely helps, for the following reasons:
1. Often, the therapist doesn't realize that their client has a personality disorder. This is particularly true of narcissism, which doesn't have the outward signs of self-harm and black-and-white attitudes that are associated with Borderline Personality Disorder, or the general 'getting in trouble' aspects of Anti-Social Behaviour Disorder.
2. Many narcissists excel at being charming, personable and friendly, at least superficially - and they can string unwary therapists along for years, playing the victim and saying all the right things, without anything 'real' actually ever changing in their true outlook, beliefs or behaviour.
3. When many therapists do actually discover what they're dealing with, they often decide either to walk away, or to effectively give up on their client. This is a sore point for many therapists (and maybe also a key reason why narcissism is so often swept under the carpet, even in therapy circles) but as soon as many therapists realize they are dealing with a 'Cluster B' person, they effectively give up.
Therapists are also people with feelings, and it takes a strong therapist indeed to risk triggering off wave after wave of narcissistic rage, by encouraging their client to recognise their faults and be willing to change. Many (I won't say most…) prefer to either end their therapy sessions with such difficult, unrewarding clients, or to keep taking the clients' money, but to stop challenging them on any real issues.
When even people like Jeffrey Young, PhD, the founder of the International Society for Schema Therapy and a faculty member of Columbia University's Psych Department states: "There are no simple answers or techniques when it comes to changing narcissism," it behoves us to pay attention.
So if you can't get the 'Cluster B' person to change (and believe me you can't, or at least, not via the straight therapy route) - then what other options are open to you, at the emotional and mental level?
It's like this: you can't change them, but you CAN change you, and how you respond to their behaviour.
To put it another way, the more effort you put into developing and strengthening your own emotional health, the easier it gets to handle the 'Cluster B' people in your life. The more you learn how to set and police healthy boundaries, the more you learn about - and come to expect - healthy accountability, the more you work on developing balanced compassion, the more 'healthy' the whole environment will become.
So much of the behaviour we've come to accept as 'normal' in 2015 is actually emotionally-unbalanced. When more people start to recognise, challenge and reject manipulative, controlling tactics; or come to expect sincere apologies and recognition of wrong-doing; or refuse to be guilted-into doing things that are not in their true best interests, the worst emotional affects of hanging out with people with personality disorders will disappear by themselves.
The first place to start is the 'Talk to God and Fix Your Health' free online course (click here to get to it), which devotes 3 whole modules to defining true emotional health, and sets out concrete, practical steps you can take to achieve it.
So that's your part of the emotional / mental aspects of dealing with personality disorders hopefully well on the way to getting sorted.
But what about the personality disorder-ed people themselves? Can nothing be done, specifically, to help them?
BH, I'll tackle that topic next.

What Meeting Mother Teresa Is Really Like (And How It Changed My Life For Good)
Final exams were upon us. Many Catholic University students had taken up their usual seats across the library as darkness settled in that Sunday. I was heads down, reading and reviewing for an exam the next day, looking forward to the semester's end and the holidays to come.
My then-roommate, Frank DeRosa, appeared at my study table. His face wore an excited smile. He crouched down and said in a low voice, "Mother Teresa will be at the Basilica this evening. She's here to honor several new members of her order." He paused, awaiting my reaction, and then declared, "We have to go!"
Little did I know what would unfold in the next few hours. I shoved books into my bag and imagined returning to my studies later that evening. We hurried to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which stood only a few hundred yards from the library. Each door was closed, yet music seeped through the walls.
Halfway down the large granite staircase, which was soon to be backdrop to one of the most memorable moments of my life, we paused.
The Basilica was packed with thousands of people. Frank and I craned our necks toward the front of the church, wondering if we would even see her. Would she speak? Had we missed the mass? Then we spotted her tiny outline in the front row with her head tilted downward in prayer.
As the mass ended, priests began to close the ceremony, and the congregation began to stand to depart—until Mother Teresa began to walk toward the pulpit. The music stopped abruptly; attendees found seats again, eager for the unscripted moment. Mother Theresa's exact words are lost to history, but I recall her soft-spoken voice emerging as the crowd settled into stillness.
She gave thanks to God for the commitment of the five women who had just taken their vows. She spoke about the gift of life itself and the need to protect the most vulnerable in our midst from conception until death. In less than five minutes, she returned to her seat and the mass finally came to its close.
Elated that I had seen and heard her speak, I turned to Frank and suggested we get back to studying. "Let's stay awhile," he replied, "and see if we can get close enough to really see her." He pointed to a huge door in the side of the Basilica.
I remember thinking that Frank's guessing her exit door was a long shot, as I assumed she would more likely be taken out a private exit for security reasons. But I followed him outside anyway, joining the thousands who were headed to their cars and vans. Halfway down the large granite staircase, which was soon to be backdrop to one of the most memorable moments of my life, we paused.
We waited for nearly 30 minutes before there was any indication of her departure. The stairs were filled with people standing closely together in palpable excitement and reverie. As people at the top of the staircase began to crowd toward the door, the message cascaded down to us that Mother Teresa was in fact leaving through the door Frank had guessed. She would pass right in front of us.
I looked to the top of the staircase, watching people bow their heads as she walked past them. Some gently reached their hands out to touch her shoulder as she passed. I wondered whether I could be so bold—whether I should.
Mother Teresa descended the stairs slowly with her hands clasped in prayer, looking to her right and then her left. Several times she made the sign of the cross as she looked out at the crowd. Some people were so overwhelmed that they wept deeply. As she reached the step where I stood, I found myself reaching out and gently touching her shoulder. A deep calm and happiness washed over me and the sound of those around me faded.
Mother Teresa continued her descent down the stairs, making her way toward the car waiting to take her away. I stood still on the stairs, perhaps 10 yards from the car. The whole crowd remained transfixed by the image of the tiny woman climbing carefully into the passenger seat. Flashbulbs popped again and again as people dragged out their cameras, realizing that their time with her was fleeting.
Then came the moment that has taken me decades to put into words. Mother Teresa sat behind the glass of the car, slowing waving her right hand up and down, left and right, making the sign of the cross. Gasps and wails came from the crowd. And then something happened that no one in the crowd could have imagined.
A young girl, perhaps 8 or 9 years old, was suddenly planted beside the limousine in the direct eye-line of Mother Teresa. The child could not have fully known who was on the other side of the glass, yet her active arms showed a determination that evoked both innocence and intention. The girl placed her full palm flat against the car window. Mother Teresa responded in kind, and the two were connected despite the glass between them.
From where I stood on the stairs, I could only see Mother Teresa's eyes looking up and out. Though I couldn't see the child's face, I have imagined for years that her expression must have been one of wonder as she soaked in the wisdom and grace of Mother Teresa. Their eyes were locked in a spiritual trance that seemed to last hours, though it was no more than 10 seconds.
As the child pulled back her hand and bowed her head, preparing to step away, Mother Teresa once more made the sign of the cross with her right hand. With all of her fingers raised, she blessed the child before our eyes—a blessing for all of us who had witnessed the incredible moment. I wonder now if that determined, beautiful child had known she was staring into the eyes of a saint.

We can handle the truth in bankruptcy
People often ask me why this phrase is heard so often when they watch law shows on TV or see movies focused on the law. They then ask me "What's the difference between the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Aren't they all the same?"

When should you not file for bankruptcy?
Sometimes our clients at Steidl and Steinberg clients assume that because we help people out of difficult debt situations, and because we do so much work in the bankruptcy court, that we channel people into bankruptcy, whether they need it or not, because it is what we do.

Auto accidents are one of the most common reasons for the death and injuries of Americans. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there have been 2,791 fatalities caused by traffic accidents in 2011. This means a 71-fatality increase from 2010. While this may be a relatively low increase, a car accident lawyer points out that this is the first time that there is an increase in vehicle crash fatalities recorded since 2007.
More than the loss of lives, automotive crashes have caused millions of dollars of damage to property. This is why a California auto accident lawyer wants to remind everyone that anybody can file a personal injury claim after falling victim for such mishaps. However, to successfully win your claims you have to present enough and strong pieces of evidence to back up your claim when you file for one. But how do you prepare for the filing of your complaint?
To increase your chances of winning your claim, your first actions after the accident happened will be critical. So how can you ensure your victory should you file a claim?
- Call the police immediately.
- Get immediate treatment for your injuries.
- Give accurate and complete information about the accident to the authorities.
- Get the names and contact details of the other party.
- Talk to your insurance agent.

Celebrating 10 Years
When the W2K mountain bike track was built by Bike Taupo linking Kinloch to neighbouring Whakaipo Bay, the late Keith Crate saw an opportunity for the Taupo Half Marathon Society to create a new off-road running event which would complement their long standing Taupo Half Marathon.
On the first Saturday of spring 2009 nearly 1000 keen runners and walkers lined up for the inaugural event, following the newly created track to the top and continuing around the headland loop before heading back into the Kinloch Village – a new event was born.
A quarter marathon (10.5km) was added the following year which took participants in the opposite direction out and back along the beautiful Whangamata Stream track which Keith had also developed.
In 2012 the full off-road marathon was bought into existence. Heading in a new direction again, the marathon participants travelled over the hill to Kawakawa Bay then up Chinaman's Hill to Whangamata Road and back to Kinloch. A 5km & Kids Dash now completes the set of events that is the very popular Kinloch Off-road Challenge.
Over 1000 participants come back each year to enjoy the picturesque course and enjoy the spring weather and picnic atmosphere at Kinloch.

Reconstructing the Pekson Blog
Okay. I'm now in the midst of reconstructing my blog after losing my hosting due to a delayed response to the complaint I filed with my bank. All told, consumers like me are always on the losing end when it comes to banking.
I've lost a lot of stand-alone files which I kept inside www.pekson.com like one saves their files on a hard disk drive. But I still have all if not most of the stories and articles I posted through the years my web hosting existed.
Anyway, the positive side of things might be forcing myself to create the makeover I need to update and enhance what my blog site should be starting this 2014. I'm still a nut for over-information and an advocate of small businesses and the call center industry. I still love everything about technology, good fashion, middle-of-the-ground lifestyle news and my penchant to share both personal and professional experiences to the whole world.
So, here we go! #JustGo2014

Banned substances found on Roger Clemens' trainer's materials
Federal authorities have discovered performance-enhancing substances on the materials that Roger Clemens' former trainer, Brian McNamee, said he used to inject the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, according to a New York Times report published Monday.
The report prompted the expected responses from the respective attorneys. Clemens' attorney, Rusty Hardin, told the New York Times he wasn't surprised by the discovery. Hardin has long questioned the chain of custody issues with the gauze, vials and syringes McNamee turned over to the feds. McNamee's attorney, Richard Emery, told the Associated Press the finding puts Clemens "another significant step toward jail."
A federal grand jury in Washington is weighing whether to indict Clemens for perjury/false statements to Congress for his 2008 appearance in which he denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs.
"This is enormously helpful to have," Chapman University law professor Katherine Darmer told the Los Angeles Times today. "When you're otherwise relying on the testimony and statements of people, physical evidence is always enormously important."
Darmer said she believes the evidence will be introduced by federal prosecutors to the grand jury to help clinch an indictment. She added, "the more evidence you have, the better your chances" at a conviction.
Darmer cautioned jurors now bring the so-called " 'CSI' effect" to the jurors' box, expecting a clean chain of custody that will certainly be ridiculed by Clemens' attorneys if a trial occurs. McNamee stored the evidence for years and will have to "demonstrate the integrity of the evidence," Darmer said.
"To me, this is still a good development for the government and a bad one for Clemens. It's not just about what McNamee is saying about him. Now, you have this evidence, and the testimony of others with far less baggage than McNamee. He's certainly going to be asked why he held onto that evidence so long. Maybe he knew his story would one day be questioned."
In another Clemens' development Tuesday, the New York Daily News is reporting that Atty. Gen. Eric Holder is recused from the pitcher's legal matter "presumably" for conflict of interest reasons after a member of his former law firm, Lanny Breuer, worked on Clemens' defense team during his testimony before Congress, the newspaper reported. Breuer defended Clemens' legal team for contacting a witness after she reported she saw the pitcher attend a party at the home of Jose Canseco, a retired slugger and admitted steroid user.

Risk Financing
C-Risk provides clients with objective advice on the use of alternative risk financing approaches available to clients who may be interested in augmenting their insurance & risk management programs. These approaches include risk-transfer and risk retention, with risk financing being used primarily as a stop-gap measure to finance the residual risk that sometimes cannot be contained through the use of only conventional insurance with contractual risk-transfer and indemnification methods. Alternative risk financing can include the use of basic methods like large deductibles, and can include more sophisticated methods like using self-insurance mechanisms such as captive insurance, reinsurance, catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) and parametric insurance instruments.
Alternative risk financing techniques can also include transferring risks through the application of safety and loss control. An effective method is using contractual risk-transfer and indemnification when applicable. Consideration should always be given to retaining risks which are within a client's financial capacity and insuring risks which are above a client's retention capacity. There are other methods that are more exotic like using hedging derivative instruments, and insuring for traditionally insured hazard risks with catastrophe coverages or catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) that can include parametric triggers. These alternative risk financing mechanisms are for extreme cases.
Some of these alternative risk financing techniques are used mostly by more sophisticated project owners and construction financial professionals who are well versed in financial analysis with a good understanding of finance, economics, and statistics. These skills are required to be comfortable and proficient with using probabilistic risk analysis as a decision-making tool to manage portfolios of risks.
The C-Risk approach to "holistic risk management" is based on a simpler and more fundamental concept. Since most project owners and construction companies must balance a multitude of risks, e.g., contractual, financial, operational, organizational, we recommend that a thorough risk assessment is based on the majority of an organization's risks. We determined this to be the optimal approach for developing a client-specific risk profile. An organization can use this risk profile as a road-map in order to more effectively manage, control, and mitigate their risk.
The use of a captive as a risk financing mechanism to augment the efficiencies of using wrap-up insurance programs (OCIP or CCIP), will require definitive requirements and effective controls. Combining risk financing approaches on large capital construction projects can sometimes provide additional economies if these hybrid risk financing programs are structured properly. These approaches are not used for every project, but they can be used on certain projects to provide project owners with other project-specific options. The bundling of a portfolio of coverages into a risk financing mechanism can have potential benefits, like not having to pay additional costs that are typically factored into rate structures for having four or five monoline policies, each with separate fees and assessments. As an alternative risk financing mechanism or as a method of self-insurance, a captive can be a viable option to clients who are willing to invest the time, money, and effort to structure the right type of captive for their organization or for a project owner on a large megaproject.
C-Risk can assist a client to identify, quantify, and control their risks by collaborating with the client, other insurance and financial professionals, or with a client's insurance broker to design, structure, and implement any variety of alternative risk financing programs. These programs take into consideration that a client, to the maximum extent possible, should attempt to retain their own losses, thus avoiding the additional costs associated with transferring those losses to an insurer. This is the main driver for why many clients explore to use of alternative risk financing as an alternative to purchasing off-the-shelf commercial insurance products.
Before exploring alternative risk financing options, it is recommended that a comprehensive insurance coverage review be done in order to determine whether an organization's current insurance & risk management program is sound before making substantive changes to their program structure.

Hypocrisy with union elections?
"In a largely party-line vote last week, Democrats in the House passed the Employee Free Choice Act, a measure that rewrites the rules for union organizing by eliminating secret-ballot elections. The Senate is up next. And if you suspect this has everything to do with expanding union membership and nada to do with 'employee free choice,' we'd direct you to a missive sent to Mexico in 2001 and signed by 16 Democrats in Congress.
"The letter is addressed to government officials and concerns 'democracy in the Mexican workplace.' It reads, 'we are writing to encourage you to use the secret ballot in all union recognition elections.' It continues: 'We understand that the secret ballot is allowed for, but not required, by Mexican labor law. However, we feel that the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union they might not otherwise choose.'
"Five of the signers have since left Congress; the other 11 voted last week for the Employee Free Choice Act. And by the way, the letter's lead signatory is Representative George Miller of California, who also happens to be the lead sponsor of the House bill. Which means the same person lecturing Mexican officials on the primacy of secret ballot elections has been heading up the effort to end them for 140 million U.S. workers."

It is great to see people recognizing the importance of this issue, while this horrible bill winds its way through the legislative process. Pure political payback to labor unions for millions in campaign contributions over the past few decades. Keep spreading the word!

Well, maybe I should say it.
To be quite specific, it's "Do as I say now, not what I said then," hypocrisy.
Bribes, Intimidation, Coercion, Threats whether veiled or otherwise, they're all in the union play book, right along side the left-handed, cross-threaded monkey wrench more widely known as hypocrisy.
The "honorable" labor union at its best. . .


text: Alec Gilmore, an authority on John Steinbeck, has written a delightful essay on the author of The Grapes of Wrath and other important works in the literary firmament. Steinbeck spent several months in 1959 in Bruton, working on his retelling of the Arthurian legends, and Mr Gilmore outlines the life the writer led here with his wife Elaine. Along the way he reminds us of the lack of modern facilities that the average 1950s British family had to cope with, and the somewhat primitive cars that were available. The essay is both entertaining and instructive – find it on http://www.gilco.org.uk/eos/steinbeck-in-england.html.

Kyle Lohse 0-1 with a 5.28 ERA
Roy Halladay 5-1 with a 1.47 ERA
Yes, it's true. Every 5th day feels like a holiday in Philadelphia. We like to call it a 'Halladay'. Today, Roy Halladay will face the toughest lineup yet in his first tour around the National League. The St. Louis Cardinals seem like they are on the road to doing something great this year. The Cards are 18-10 on the season, and they will put Kyle Lohse on the mound today. Lohse has a perfect 2-0 record against the Phillies pitching at Citizens Bank Park.
The Cardinals and the Phillies will only face each other in two series this year, the other coming in July from the 19th-22nd at St. Louis. Many have predicted the Phils will face the Cardinals in the playoffs later this year.
Kyle Lohse is the only Cardinals starter without a win yet this year. Kyle also hasn't allowed a homerun yet either. He has 3 no decision games this year, this is his 6th start of the season for the Cards.
The Phillies are spreading the leadership on offense around. Shane Victorino leads the club with 23 RBI, Chase Utley leads the club in HR with 8, and Jayson Werth is leading with a .337 BA for batters over 75 AB's. The sleeping giant, Ryan Howard, is still due to break out of a slump, since Monday he's been 1-11 with a .091 BA. He has still to make himself known in this series in which he is often compared with the Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols. Pujols hasn't been that much better since Monday he has a 3-13 and .231 BA.
The Phillies have a chance at sweeping the Cardinals this afternoon. It will be a 1:05 PM start, the Phillies call this game a 'Business Person's Special".

Multi-space pay stations have been installed in most City of Cambridge parking lots and on several streets in Harvard Square.
The two different types of pay station work in one of two modes "Pay & Display" or "Pay by Space".
Pay & Display Station: After paying for parking at the pay station please return to your vehicle and place the pay station receipt face-up on your vehicle dashboard. The receipt shows the expiration time of your parking purchase. Parking Control Officers enforce maximum parking time limits by checking the receipt on your vehicle dashboard.
Pay by Space Station: Each parking space that is associated with these stations has a parking space number. When you park your vehicle please note the space number at which you parked. At the pay station, enter the space number and pay for the amount of time you wish to park. There is no need to return to your vehicle. Maximum time parking limits are enforced by Parking Control Officers with reports issued at the pay station, rather than the receipts on vehicle dashboards.
Customers can pay for parking at pay stations with credit or debit cards (Visa/ MasterCard) or U.S. Quarters. The instructions for how to pay for parking are displayed on the pay stations. When parking on streets or in parking lots with pay stations, you must move your vehicle from that street or lot prior to being there for the posted amount of time which is either two or four hours depending on location and time of day. If your vehicle is parked for longer than that posted maximum parking time limit, you are subject to receiving an overtime parking violation.
Pay & Display Stations are located in the following locations
Pay by Space Stations are located in the following locations:
All rates are in effect Monday – Saturday except for holidays listed here.

I don't have a baking mistake to share today, though I do have some doozies! Most involve math in my head or even written out that was misfigured.

The belief in the need to impose a temporary government on the Palestinians is based on the following judgments about underlying facts.
The existing regime by its nature–and as demonstrated by its record–will never be interested in making a real peace with Israel based on an acceptance of the legitimacy of two peoples with valid claims to this land.
The existing regime is less concerned with the interests or wishes of the Palestinian people than with its effort to destroy Israel, and will resist with force any internal opposition or efforts at fundamental reform.
The deep corruption of the regime makes economic development virtually impossible.
The regime's commitment to inciting hatred of Israel and Jews, through lies and other deception, which is part of its strategy for staying in power, is incompatible with movement to peace.
The regime is steeped in terrorism, which is criminal and unacceptable. There is little room for separating internal terrorism from external terrorism. The Palestinians must have a government that is not involved in terrorism. There needs to be a clean break with terrorism.
Particularly because of the intensity of the conflict with Israel, and the outside support that has been given the current regime, it is essentially impossible for Palestinians to remove the current regime. Potential opponents, or alternative leadership, will not come forward until after Yassir Arafat and the current regime are removed.
What is needed is an outside group to organize a temporary government to handle the day to day affairs of the Palestinians for an interim period of something like three years, by analogy to the experience of Germany and Japan after World War II. During this interim period the Palestinian people could gradually develop civil and political institutions that could begin a democratic political process to create a Palestinian government that could negotiate with Israel. Meanwhile security requirements will only permit arrangements that are much more burdensome for Palestinians.
This discussion is based on the proposal made by Minister Natan Sharansky summarized in his article, "Where Do We Go From Here" in The Jerusalem Post on May 3, 2002. But other forms of this approach might be as good or better.
Sharansky proposes that something like an Interim Palestinian Administration (IPA) be created by a commission composed of the United States and the Arab states that recognize Israel, excluding individuals who have been involved in terrorist activities. The IPA will be committed to freedom of expression and organization, to ending the teaching of hatred and falsehood, and to ending the maintenance of refugee camps designed to perpetuate grievances. While the responsibilities of this interim administration would include normal police functions, Israel would retain security responsibility and would be expected to take whatever reasonable measures are necessary to prevent attacks on Israelis. This enables the foreign governments to avoid having to take responsibility for controlling Palestinian terrorism.
Today it is clear that the great majority of Palestinians support the Palestine Liberation Organization/Palestinian Authority program of terrorism against Israel, and its preference for a continuation of the war over a two-state solution that fully accepts Israel. Palestinians support Arafat against Israel–even though many have doubts about various aspects of his regime. The idea of an interim administration is that these popular Palestinian positions may also be partly the result of the suppression of contrary opinion, frustration with a corrupt (and partly "foreign") leadership, large scale incitement and teaching of false information by official agencies and the controlled press, as well as in the schools, and thus the absence of an open debate.
Also the current high level of hatred and desire to continue the struggle to defeat Israel may be in part the result of natural anger and resentment at the measures Israel is forced to take to prevent terrorist attacks organized by the government, and the result of the hopes that have been raised that Arab and European governments will prevent Israel from protecting itself, and/or that division and weakness within Israel will produce an Arab victory. Therefore it is thought that a clear end of the current warfare, with the removal of the regime that initiated it, and a period of open discussion, combined with an opportunity to begin to build the Palestinian economy and civil society, free from governmental domination, might lead to a different balance of opinions among Palestinians and perhaps a greater chance for peace–as well as more justice and hope for Palestinians and better living conditions.
Desirable peace agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, which provide as justly as possible for the interests of both groups, can only be implemented if there is a reasonable relationship between the two populations and an important degree of mutual respect and trust. Most Israelis believe that such a relationship can only be established if there is a much greater degree of pluralism and open discussion among Palestinians, and a Palestinian leadership that does not incite and teach hatred of Israel. Such a relationship would also become much more likely if there were a healthy Palestinian economy, which can only be created if freed from political domination and corruption.
The approach presented here is only feasible if it becomes the policy of the United States, and it will only become the policy of the United States if there is a major change in official American thinking, a change for which there already exists a good deal of support within the US government.

According to the Pew Research Center, in 2015 Millennials (adults ages 18 to 34 in that year) surpassed Generation X to become the largest portion of the American workforce. And, the report indicates that the Millennial generation's labor force will only continue to grow in the near future. One of the largest reasons for the exponential growth is that so many Millennials are making the transition from college student to worker. What can businesses do, then, to help attract and retain Millennials?

Gary's b+w gallery
I started making the odd black and white photo during the collaborative phase of the Mallee Routes project–2017-2019. Towards the end of the project's collaborative phase, when I started my solo photo camps, I made more black and white photos as I became conscious that some images worked better in black and white. I also wanted to link the contemporary photos back to the black and white photos that I had made in the 1980s. These are the first three black and white images in the gallery, plus the featured image. The cameras used are primarily medium and large format (5×7 and 5×4).

Not that it takes much coaching. Peaches are pretty much designed (to the benefit of us fire-wielding humans) to take like perfection to being transformed by a bit of heat into a pie – the juicy become juicier, or something like that. Or, in this case, a galette (a kind of lazy pie with only a bottom crust that's folded up around the fruit in a way that's rustic and *I* think even more celebratory of the ripened innards). I made it in honour of a good friend dropping by from out of town, and I think it's becoming a tradition that I bake a peach pie in the midparts of summer, started three years ago when I first moved into this wonderful house that I live in now and will soon be leaving. There are, usually, no less than seven people under this roof, and I wouldn't be who I am without these beautiful folks.I always have mouths to feed, and there is usually dessert on the table. The first peach pie I made here was about a foot tall, a sliceable bucket of sweetened bourbon fruits in a burnished coffin of a shell – I had to use a spring-form cheesecake pan just to fit it all in. The year after was a Pi Pie and I learned the first-hand way exactly what happens when impatience prevents me from chilling an unbaked dough enough – it does get a little… misshapen and less fantastic to eat. But no matter! This year was different.
This year I figured I would see how fast I could turn a lump of frozen butter and a smudge of salt and sugar into a pie-like device. This took half an hour maybe? I even had Amaretto still in the pantry. Really I hardly touched the fruit at all, just tossing with sugar, cornstarch and liqueur, then arranged onto crushed Amaretti cookies & ground almonds. It doesn't mess with the flavour of peach, just enhances. The crust was shatteringly crisp and flavoursome, and held the fruit beautifully.
Anyway, my lovely friends, this is for you. Merry August, and shine on like adamantine in the wind.
PS. White beer goes FANTASTIC with this. Just saying'.

Summer Peach Galette
Adapted, loosely, from Smitten Kitchen's adaptation of Alice Water's Apricot Tart
Serves 8
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick or 3 ounces) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into 1/2–inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon ground almonds
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon amaretti cookies, pulverized — or — 1 extra tablespoon ground almonds plus an extra teaspoon sugar
- 10 ounces galette dough, rolled into a 14-inch circle and chilled
- 1 and 1/2 pounds ripe peaches (about 4 large)
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 sliced almonds (optional)
- Peach or nectarine jam (optional)
Make the crust: Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large, wide mixing bowl. Cut in six tablespoons of the butter with a pastry blender or two knives, mixing until the dough resembles coarse cornmeal. Dribble four tablespoons ice water over the mixture, using a rubber spatula to pull the mixture together. Gather the dough into a mound (either in the bowl or on a counter) and gently knead it together, for just a few seconds. If it's not coming together, add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until it does. Wrap dough in a flat disc in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
When you are ready to roll out the dough, take one disk and let it soften slightly so that it is malleable but still cold. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the disk into a 14-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour before using.
Make the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a pizza stone, if you have one, on a lower rack. Toss the ground almonds, flour, one tablespoon of the sugar, and pulverized amaretti (or mix of extra ground almonds and sugar) together.
Remove the prerolled dough from the refrigerator or freezer and sprinkle the almond mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2 to 2-inch border uncoated. Cut peaches in half, removing pits, then each half into thirds (you'll get six wedges per nectarine). Toss the peaches in a bowl with the amaretto liqueur and cornstarch. Arrange the fruit, skin-side-down, in concentric circles on the dough, making a single layer of snugly touching pieces, leaving the border bare. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the sugar evenly over the fruit.
While rotating the tart, fold the border of exposed dough up and over itself at regular intervals, crimping and pushing it up against the fruit. Pinch or trim off any excess dough. (Make sure there are no breaks that will let juices leak.) Brush the border with melted butter, and sprinkle it with two tablespoons sugar.
Bake in the lower third of the oven (preferably on a pizza stone) for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the crust is well browned and its edges are slightly caramelized. If you wish, sprinkle sliced almonds over the galette 15 minutes before the baking time ends, so they get toasty and extra-crisp. As soon as the galette is out of the oven, use a large metal spatula to slide it onto a cooling rack, to keep it from getting soggy. Let cool for 20 minutes. If you want to glaze the tart, brush the fruit lightly with a little warmed peach (or nectarine, if you have it) jam. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or with plain yogurt.
Do ahead: This galette keeps at room temperature for at least two days, and even longer in the fridge. The unbaked dough, wrapped in plastic, will keep in the freezer for a few weeks, the fridge for a day or more. Rolled-out dough may be frozen and used the next day.

A White Bear Lake, Minn., man is accused of stealing almost $120,000 in goods and services from his Hudson employer over the course of a month, according to a criminal complaint filed in St. Croix County Circuit Court Jan. 22.
Timothy Ryan Skrypek, 30, was charged with three counts of felony theft following allegations that he made 45 fraudulent phone activations totaling $63,899.39 in lost income, stole $42,773 worth of devices and store deposits that total $12,588.20 while employed by the AT&T Store at 2300 Badger Road in Hudson, the complaint states.
Authorities allege the thefts took place from Feb. 1, 2018, through March 1, 2018.
According to the complaint:
Store video surveillance footage from Feb. 7 through Feb. 28, 2018, showed Skrypek removed iPhones from the store - typically five or six at a time for a total of 89 - on 17 of those days.
On Feb. 26, 2018, the store manager noticed three empty bank deposit bags that were ripped open stashed underneath a container inside the inventory safe.
The next day, 56 phones were noticed as missing during an inventory check and loss prevention was alerted to the issue.
Police were called to the 2300 Badger Drive store March 1, the same day AT&T loss prevention arrived.
Upon arrival, the manager informed police Skrypek - who they suspected of the theft - was being interviewed by loss prevention, but didn't immediately offer much more information on the situation.
The manager later told police in a statement that when he discovered the deposit bags, he confronted employees and Skrypek eventually confessed to taking the money and said he would return it the next day. The money was never returned.
When questioned March 1 by police, Skrypek said he had purchased five iPhones for his family and provided a sale invoice for the phones. He also produced a deposit bag from his car, which was marked as containing $1,072.09 in cash, but contained cash in the amount of $1,564.
Another employee who worked with Skrypek during his time at the store told police months later that Skrypek put a total of five phones on her account, which totaled $2,050. She noticed the extra charges in April 2018 and notified AT&T.
Each felony theft count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. A warrant was issued for Skrypek's arrest Jan. 22.

RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia Commonwealth University and Hofstra University each scored within a two-minute stretch during the first half but neither team could find the net the rest of the way and the Rams battled the Pride to a hard-fought, 1-1 draw Saturday night at Sports Backers Stadium.
VCU, which reached double-overtime for the sixth time this season, runs its league-best unbeaten streak to 10 games and is now 5-1-5 overall and 2-0-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association. Meanwhile, Hofstra is 3-5-3, 1-2-1 in league play.
"All credit to Hofstra tonight; their players gave a great
effort and deserved at least the draw that they got," said VCU Head
Coach Dave Giffard. "Sometimes you have to
accept responsibility when your team doesn't perform to its
potential and tonight our team didn't perform and I need to do a
better job as a leader of this program making sure that never
happens again.
"With all the positive steps forward that we have had in the last several games, I thought we took a step backwards tonight. We will get back to work this week and prepare for a very good William & Mary team on the road this Saturday."
The Rams fell behind early for just the third time this season when the Pride took a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute. Freshman Lukas Ahman took a cross from Chris Griebsch and headed a shot into the lower left of the net.
That lead wouldn't last for long, however, as VCU countered less than two minutes later. Freshman Jose Carlos Castillo (pictured, right) assisted for the third time in the last four games when he sent a pass through the middle to rookie Jason Johnson, who took the feed and deposited a strike from just inside the box and the Rams evened the score at 1-1 with less than 15 minutes to go in the opening period.
Johnson nearly tucked a shot into the far post following a one-on-one with Hofstra goalkeeper Greg Cumpstone in the 65th minute and senior Thomas Hupper fired a strike from about 35 yards away less than a minute later but Cumpstone made the save.
Following a corner kick by Griebsch in the 70th minute, VCU goalie Gabriel Rodriguez, who made three stops on the night, preserved the tie with a series of critical saves after a scrum in front of the net. But it was as close as either team would get the remainder of regulation.
The Rams were on the attack less than 15 seconds into overtime with a corner but the Hofstra backline held strong and turned away the early threat.
Senior C.J. Gehin-Scott fired a long strike but Cumpston made a save with seven minutes to play in the first overtime. Johnson then sent a header on frame after another corner less than two minutes later but Cumpston again made a diving stop.
Hofstra sophomore Mike Annarumma fired a strike with 1:30 to go but it drifted just wide of the target.
Johnson was taken down outside the box with less than four minutes to go in double-OT but a free kick by junior Nick Rich sailed high of the net.
Hofstra held a slim 16-15 margin in shots, while VCU had a 9-7 advantage in corners.
VCU's last nine-game unbeaten streak came during the 2003 season when the Rams reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The last time VCU had a 10-match unbeaten streak was in 1998.
The Rams will have a week-long break before their Oct. 16 match at William & Mary. VCU then returns to Sports Backers Stadium for their final three home matches of the season beginning with first-place UNC Wilmington on Oct. 20.
