Work, Career & Jobs @ 40+: Good News for Working Baby Boomers
Good News for Working Baby Boomers
I am tired of bad news. The anchors on my favorite business channel seem delighted to report our retirement accounts are plummeting. Violence rings out around the globe from riots in London to shocking hate crimes in Mississippi. And, the weather? It’s just weird—the snowiest of winters, the wettest of springs and now the hottest of summers.
Aging in the workforce? I know millions of experienced people struggling to find work and even more mature workers are exhausted trying to stay relevant in their careers. Others, isolated, depressed and discouraged, have simply dropped out of the job market. What is going to happen to them long-term? It is frightening.
Where is the coming labor shortage that is supposed to make Corporate America lure Baby Boomers back to work with high salaries and workplace flexibility to save the economy? While we wait, there is a silver lining and it is the late bloomers, comeback stories and reinventions by ordinary and extraordinary people. I’ll focus on names you know well. However, for each of the celebrities, there are 10 ordinary people in communities everywhere being resilient. We can all make the choice to either sit on the sidelines or just run with what life has given us and see where we end up.
The most famous late-bloomer and comeback story is Harlan Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. After many careers, some more successful than others; he franchised his first KFC at age 65 years old. Nine years later (in 1964) he sold it for $2 million dollars. Sanders pioneered branding. At age 70 he began only going out in public with the white suit & string tie. He did public appearances for a fee well into his 80s. He died at 90 years old.
Clara Peller was “discovered” at age 80 by an ad agency. The next year, she delivered the iconic line, “Where’s the Beef” in the famous 1984 Wendy’s commercial. Before her death she appeared in movies, made more commercials, managed to get sued by Wendy’s and appeared on Wrestlemania.
Betty White at age 89 years old is everywhere! Many people remember her in the Golden Girls. Maybe you are like me and remember her from the Mary Tyler Moore show. Her May 2010 appearance on Saturday Night Live (with musical guest, Jay-Z) garnered the show’s highest ratings since November 2008.
Diane Rehm is a 75-year-old NPR host with an internationally syndicated radio show reaching 2.2 million listeners a week including Armed Forces Radio and Sirius satellite. Despite an illness that sidelined her career in 1998 when she was diagnosed with a voice disorder, she persevered to win a 2009 Peabody Award.
A few other notables include the U.S. Senator from Indiana, where I live, Richard Lugar. He’s 79 years old and is the state’s longest serving senator. Actress, Writer and activist, Ruby Dee won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word album when she was 83-years old in 2007 and she still books speaking engagements. Actor Morgan Freeman, 72, was honored with the AFI, Lifetime Achievement Award this summer. This year, Suzanne Somers turns 65, along with Dolly Parton, Donald Trump, former President Clinton and Cher—they are all keeping busy in their own right. So What’s Your Next Chapter?
Remember, there is plenty of time to find your passion and bloom, to reinvent yourself or even to make a comeback. This week—Smile and Stay Encouraged.

Thanks! I will print this out as a reminder for the manic Mondays.

Great article. Very timely, especially as the future of our SS benefits seem to be waving in the wind.My husband and I took early retirement (62 and 58) and decided to reinvent ourselves using the skills we had traded for salaries for so many years. We now live in Panama,spend our time traveling and working from our computers, living the life we love.
I remember being laid off from a pharma sales job after 21 years. It was my first job out of college and at 42, I felt washed up! I went to work for a smaller drug company as rep and when it was purchased the entire sales team loss their jobs. I was 50 then. The job search was long and frustrating. Money was tight with 2 college tuitions to pay. With my severance that time, I invested in myself. Along with two other former drug reps, I opened a franchise of a temporary help agency. We've weathered the recession, we are profitable and it fells good to take control of my career. I wake up everyday excited to work at 56 years old with plans to work until at least another decade.

What an inspirational message! I have forwarded to the other nurses I work with and some good news is needed for everyone. I work in the health care setting with mostly adolescents and depression is starting younger all the time. We are beginning to see elementary school pupils with stress and anxiety disorders. We often treat their parents for depression. People have to reach out and get the help they need if it is more than maintaining their perspective as your post indicates. Talk to aphysician, your company EAP, call the social services emergency number in your community or a local hospital.

I hope to be active well into my later years. Hopefully, I will work at something I desire to do and not just for income by then. Perhaps, I will finally travel and begin to see more of the world while I can still get around.

This is so great. It shows you are never too old to get out there and make changes in your life. I never even used to think about people in their 70s & 80s doing anything except going to the doctor. As I get closer to 60--in two more years--it doesn't seem as old.

Conscience – Kind Food, Kind You
It may seem odd for me to be posting about a ‘pillow’ instead of animal welfare, but bear with me and you’ll understand.
I just ordered two of these. Here’s the description from the website:
“All cotton sleeping pillow. Constructed with 100% American-grown and American-made cotton. Hypoallergenic with no synthetic irritants as other pillows.
We start (and finish) by using only the softest, most luxurious American Upland Cotton – inside and out — in all of our products. Unsurpassed quality standards are used in our state-of-the-art fabrication houses in Dallas, TX and Charlotte, NC. We are strictly American in all of our processes, including the cotton we use, our machinery, our supply chain, our packaging, and of course our most valuable asset: our people. Our clean, simple promise to you is that we will always bring you products made from only the very finest materials available at the best price possible.”
You can find this pillow here, although I bought mine from JC Penney : Lula Mae Pillow On Etsy
This pillow is made from a PLANT source: cotton to be precise! I spent many, many years buying down pillows. It’s the only kind that is comfortable to me. But here’s what I found out about down: “According to the International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory (IDFL) “Down and feathers have the lowest carbon footprint of any other fill material, both natural and synthetic.” But high quality down is the plumage of ducks and geese, normally plucked from their chest region, in some instances whilst they are alive. Not something that is appreciated by vegans or animal welfare proponents. But there are options for saying ethically warm. Down Alternatives” Can Down Be Ethical?
Some time back when I learned about the sad side of down I ordered a pillow with wool inside. It wasn’t quite right and too much filling. So I returned it. The other thing I dislike is that most down ‘alternatives’ are synthetic. And that’s why I’m so thrilled to find a cruelty-free, NATURAL COTTON alternative!
Here we come to the funny part: the two negative reviews about this cotton pillow is the very reason I ordered them! They said it went flat. Anyone who loves down pillows knows that their head just sinks right ‘down’ into them! So I have high hopes that I will like them. I paid the same price for two that I used to pay for just one down pillow. We have an RV, so one of the pillows will be for it.
I’ll update you in the comments on how I like or dislike them. Please leave any thoughts or experiences you’ve had as well. In the meantime, please buy kind products, not animal based. I am looking forward to sleeping and dreaming with a much clearer conscience on my new plant-based pillows!
For those who may have never heard: cotton has been quoted as ‘Southern snow’! If I love these pillows as much as the South, it will be love from here on out. 🙂
All Who Have Life

My heart is inspired. It does my heart good to know that there are others out in our world fighting for animals. Sometimes I get depressed and feel despair to think of all the precious animals killed to eat or abused or chained. So much sadness, madness and cruelty.
But we are making headway! I don’t have statistics but I have a theory. When more and more people come together because they are outraged and those people make others aware of the outrage, then the movement grows, people and government listens and change happens. And change IS happening.
I wish more people would think about this question: “Just because one is used to eating animals, or just because the inside of the animal taste good, does that make it right to kill it and eat it?”
Children care. Most children don’t get a choice of what they eat. They eat the food placed before them. They get ‘used’ to eating meat, disassociating it from the living, loving animal who had feelings. The innocent child eating the innocent animal. One must ask themselves: “When is it no longer innocent to eat the innocent?”
It is not that this animal’s life is worth more or less than that animal’s life. It’s that life IN GENERAL is a gift to ALL who have life. There is no difference.
Let’s do a right thing. A thing that will make us happy and make animals happy. Let’s get them out of cages, off of chains, out of laboratories, out of factories that kill and abuse them, and away from abusers. How? Fight for them, speak up for them, sign petitions for them, do not eat them…….care for them and love them. Please oh please, love them!

The hotel is not as beautiful as the other place with no stunning appearance but its service is good. All the staff can speak Vietnamese so it's a good start for Vietnamese if you want to avoid culture shock - not many Laos people in Vientiane can speak English. They even have Vietnamese channel on TV. Their morning buffet is soooooo delicious: the fried rice, salad, fruit and included in room price. Hotel room doesn't have a good outside view but it doesn't matter to us cause we just need a place to take shower and sleep at night. The location is right next to Morning Market, and in the center of Vientiane.

It's pretty old and needs a major facelift. Water is hot and rooms are equipped with both fans and AC. Bathroom is small. Staff are friendly enough but don't speak the best English. At $20 a night it's fine but you can get better guesthouses for the same price.

At convenient walking distance from Mekong riverside center, clean and spacious rooms at a reasonable rate including local breakfast (foe/noodle soup or porridge or fried rice) Location is near local bus station and shopping mall. Stayed here twice, got a free upgrade at the second stay and free late checkout at 13.30hrs as well!
Room Tip: cheapest rate still good value!

We paid 160,000Kip for a twin room with breakfast. Looking at other guesthouses, the rate was reasonable but also great, great value.As we are two hungry cyclists, breakfast alone was worth the cost of this room. BUT get to breakfast early as they are not fast at replenishing spent dishes.The room was clean and comfortable. Don't expect a western standard hotel but do expect an exceptionally good value Asian hotel (I.e. bathroom plumbing is not perfect and decor may have seen better days).Another reviewer commented on bad towels. We had brand new towels so hopefully issue resolved. Air con was a little noisy but bearable. Close to a night market and the centre of town.Online rates were the same as walk in rates which was good to see.
Room Tip: Rooms are priced by size. The smallest rooms are still pretty large.

The hotel is very comfortable but the only thing that is not suitable in the hotel is that the bath towels are old and torn, the hotel should change the towel, beside that the services is good. Some people slept on the fifth floor made too much noise. The hotel should tell them to minimize their voices. I just been there in May from 8-24 2013. Thanks.
Room Tip: I never been to the fitness center or in the pool.

If you gotta have Chinese, this restaurant does it quite well. You can request variations on the preparation ( no MSG, not spicy,etc). Prices are consistent with their competition- though not "cheap eats" by any means. You do get a lot of food, but left-over Chinese is not too great in my book.

Let's face it. Speaking as a pretty fine Asian cook, most Chinese carryouts have the same menu. Still, there are interesting variations. Their fried rice is prepared quite differently than Asian Paradise's -- my housemate prefers it, while I prefer AP. There's a very good Mango Chicken here. Again, I wish one of them delivered.

Share my world ~July 10, 2017 | Prairie Pine Peddler
Posted on July 11, 2017 by Prairie Pine Peddler - connect with nature	How do you like to spend a rainy day? Most of my rainy days, are spent at work, but when it is raining even during lunch I will go out and eat in my car while it is raining. In my college years I use to run thru the rain with friend. That was fun. List at least five favorite treats. (They do not have to be sugary)
or with America Band that sang “Horse with no name” that is my most favorite song. What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I don't know what the eligibility guidelines might be but if it was released in time I think Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie is well worth consideration, it is a badass electric hurricane of a novel and (in my opinion) more of a straight-up fantasy than most of his other work. Have you read it?

Lizzie's Loose Ends: Santa Made an Early Delivery
Santa Made an Early Delivery
My dear friend, DL, bought me a new phone for Christmas! Although DL and I see each other almost every day, we still text each other alot in the evenings. This is a super duper texting phone. What even makes it super duper special is she has a brand new one, too! Hers looks like this one, and mine is burgundy. I got it all turned on, switched over from my other phone, and charged up. Then played and played with it to see all the features I could readily find. Soon I'll even read the manual to see what other cool things it does. It took awhile to get used to the placement of things on the keyboard, but, boy howdy, can one text so much faster!
Yesterday DL and I dropped off the seven hats we made for an employee at a local used book store. He requested them last week when he chatted with us while we paid for a knitting book. Today we go back to collect the cash! Christmas money!
Sock knitting has advanced. One of the scallop socks is done, the other leg started. One of the legs on my TN son's socks is finished, just waiting to be bound off.
We had a wonderful lunch at C's house yesterday. Cuban style chicken and rice with veggies, lots of coffee and pumpkin pie. Oh, and much knitting, too! C's finished off her first hat and will be heading out to get more supplies to make her hubby a pair of house socks! She's bound and determined to join us in our sock knitting frenzy! Eldest Daughter joined us for lunch and then we ran errands and everyone ended up here for leftover turkey, rice and veggies.
Found another "old" knitting friend, G, on Facebook yesterday. We've known each other since before her oldest daughter was born. Said daughter is now a mother herself. Anyway, G facilitates yet another knitting group at another coffee shop on Saturday evenings. Although I hesitate to bus it to that one, I'm trying to figure out how to add it to my knitting adventures. I'm hoping G will come for coffee Sunday at the mall bookstore along with A and DL. They'll get along well! We're all just a little different than most so understand each other better than most!

SS3 Goku throws a punch at Broly, and Broly dodges. Contents[show]
When Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan 3 against a blue-haired(because Paragus, while in hell, created a new control headband device and was wished back by Super Saiyan Broly just so he could kill Paragus again, struggled the headband on Broly's head again, and restarted from there)Super Saiyan 3 Broly, the battle ranged back and forth between Goku and Broly, and the battle couldn't seem to be decided. However, Broly regained his control again, killed Paragus once more, and wondered if he could transform into a Legendary Super Saiyan 3, so he could be back on top.
Broly: "Kakarot, I'm afraid this victory for you isn't going to last too long.  I have a new form for you." Goku: "Well, go for it, Broly.  This might be exciting".
Broly clenched his fists. He flexed his muscles. His head was veiny. His eyes widened. After a full 30 seconds of raising his power level, a green aura formed around him. His muscles pulsed and his headband ripped off because his head pulsed. A green light filled the area an none could see Broly. The environment changed three times, the light disappeared, and he had transformed into a Legendary Super Saiyan 3. The odds were on Broly's side again, and he wore Goku down to his Super Saiyan 3 form. Goku, we pray for you. And Vegeta, too.

Earn-outs. Earn-outs are mechanisms to get the seller additional cash payments over time, based on hitting some preset performance metrics. These are great for sellers that feel "the best is yet to come", but still need to sell for other liquidity-driven reasons. The timing of the earnout can be whatever you want: my iExplore sale was 18 months (very typical) and my MediaRecall deal was seven years (very atyptical). Buyers typically don't like earnouts that last too long, since they want to fully control the business operations, and won't want to tinker with the business, and risk a lawsuit from the seller, in the middle of the earn-out period. And, although sellers like the upside opportunities from earn-outs, earn-outs are very difficult to contract in a way that doesn't leave the buyer with loopholes to manipulate the payout calculation.
As an example, a seller will want revenue-driven earn-outs (to keep it clean and simple), but the buyer won't like that, since you can load up expenses/losses to drive revenues. And, on the flip side, the buyer will want profit-driven earnouts (which you won't want, as buyer can pushdown corporate overhead expenses to manipulate your profits to levels the earn-out would not be paid). In addition, it is preferable to having any revenues coming from promotional support by the buyer, help to credit your earnings and earn-out as the seller (which the buyers may or may not be willing to do, since they are the ones helping to increase your earnings--and hence their cash payouts to you for the business). So, it is a very delicate dance to negotiate a happy middleground that works for both parties and still has a lot of "teeth" both ways.
Net Working Capital at Closing. Net working capital is your current assets less your current liabilities. The buyer will typically ask for the seller to deliver the business with an historically average level of working capital at closing. So, as an example, if your average net working capital is $50K, they will want the business delivered with $50K of net working capital. Any more than that, and the sellers keep the overage as additional sale proceeds. Any less that that, and the seller needs to fund it to the buyer, to catch them up. This item by itself is a big negotiating point, especially since the balance sheet used for such calculations (and related auditing of the sub-accounts that comprise it), are usually prepared and calculated within the first 30 days after closing the sale, allowing opportunities for the buyer to manipulate the numbers in between the closing date and the calculation date. So, be careful in constructing language that is fair and protects you here, so you are not going out of pocket to make up for any shortfalls.
Following my last lesson on Determining Exit Options for Your Startup, today will will discuss how to find both strategic buyers and financial buyers for your business.
Finding a strategic buyer for your business is the most likely liquidity event scenario for your startup. Remember, a corporate buyer is only going to buy you if you bring them some sort of value to their business (e.g., your technology, market share, client list, cash flow, growth vehicle for them). So, you need to critically assess what the core assets of your business are, and identify a list of targets that would find such assets most useful.
This could include direct competitors in your exact business, looking to grow market share (e.g., Office Depot acquiring Office Max). This could be a similar business looking to expand their product line (e.g., Amazon acquiring Zappos to get into shoe business). This could be a tangential business, serving the same demographic, looking to diversify revenue streams (e.g., commerce company Expedia acquiring media company Trip Advisor, both in the travel space). And, this could include entirely different businesses altogether that have synergistic technologies (e.g., eBay acquiring Skype to allow commerce buyers an easier way to communicate with each other). These are just a few examples.
When I was selling iExplore (online adventure travel website), I had considered direct competitors like Away.com and Gorp.com, trying to increase market share. Big online travel agencies like Expedia and Travelocity, looking to get into the adventure travel space. Offline travel companies like Abercrombie & Kent and TUI Travel, looking to increase their expertise in online e-commerce. Travel content companies like Travel Channel or Lonely Planet, looking to add a commerce offering around their content. Companies like Spafinder or Luxury Link selling into similar high end demographics. Big online portals like Yahoo or Google, wanting a platform in the travel space.
So, critically assess your business and think creatively who such targets could be. And, remember, the bigger the buying company, the bigger your business needs to be to get their attention. Expedia wouldn't even talk to iExplore, without having $5MM in EBITDA, since any acquisition smaller than that, was less than a decimal point rounding error for their multi-billion dollar business. The flipside of this is, the small the business you approach, the less likely they will be able to fund an acquisition with free cash or otherwise, which may push them to only considering a stock-based deal (which may not be as attractive to you as a cash based deal). So, prioritize your prospective suitors accordingly, to find the right mix of business size and liquidity to increase the odds you get to the finish line.
As for finding a financial buyer, it is very similar to How You Raise Capital for Your Business, which we covered all the way back in Lesson #4. The primary difference is the stage of the business and the types of investors you approach. Most likely, by the time you are ready to sell your business, you have grown to the scale of a private equity investor (later stage), instead of a venture capital investor (earlier stage). Private equity firms will be looking for high cash flow businesses, that will allow them to lever up the business with debt (to reduce their equity investment), and pay off the debt over time with the cash flow from the business. So, make sure you have at least $10-$20MM of revenues and $3-$5MM of positive cash flow, before approaching a private equity firm that has experience in your industry.
If you are less than this, you are most likely taking about negotiating a "recap" with a venture capital firm, which is a lot tougher to do, since venture capitalists prefer their cash to grow the business, not take out selling shareholders. And, remember, both private equity firms and venture capitalists are not going to play unless a going forward management team is in place. So, plan accordingly with members of your own team, or otherwise.
Workers' Compensation. This covers cases where the employees of a company get injured or lose their life in the company premises or while working for the company in any other location. In these cases the company is responsible for the damage caused and should pay for the medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses or lost wages. Much like your general liability policy, workers' compensation is a pretty critical coverage needed, and is often required for businesses in many states.
Directors & Officers. If you are taking in outside capital, your investors will most likely require you to add D&O insurance to protect them as investors and members of the company's board of directors, in case they are ever sued by the company's shareholders for any loss of shareholder value or not acting in the best interests of the shareholders. This coverage is less important in tightly-held companies where the founders have largely funded the business themselves and own most of the company's equity themselves.
Now comes the more expensive benefits. The first of which is offering your employees healthcare coverage. At a minimum, that could simply be medical insurance, or it could also include other perks like dental insurance, vision coverage and flexible healthcare spending accounts. There are also many variations on a theme, to keep your costs at a minimum. This includes deciding: (i) if you are only offering a low cost HMO option, or also an expensive PPO option; (ii) if the plan will be provided by a big brand insurer like Blue Cross, which can be expensive, or a cheaper provider; (iii) what percentage of plan expenses will the company pay for (with market rate at least 50%); (iv) what basic coverage levels will be provided by the insurer (with 90% in-network expenses and 70% of out-of-network, a typical plan); and (v) what level of annual deductibles are required of the employee (typically in the $500 to $1000 range).
So, depending what mix of the above decisions you make, will have a material impact on your overall healthcare benefit expenses. But, cost of the plan is only part of your thinking, as you should also make sure whatever plan you offer is "juicy" enough to have real benefits for your employees (e.g., a plan from a less known insurer where the employee's doctor is not in-network will be meaningless to them).
And, worth mentioning, more and more companies (especially startups) are cutting healthcare benefits altogether. The plan expenses have been rising so quickly over the last decades, that they have created a terrible burden on the employers' budgets. And, frankly, employees are not staying with companies for decades at a time, they are hopping from job to job every couple of years. So, because of this, many people are buying their own individually-sourced and funded healthcare plans on their own, so they don't always have to reapply and risk getting denied for pre-existing conditions down the road.
And, individual healthcare plans are easier to buy than ever from the big insurers websites, and the costs of these plans can often be comparable (or cheaper) than paying for the same coverage via a company-sponsored group plan (especially for startups). As, an example, my family coverage at iExplore was a $20,000 annual bill to me, and my individually-sourced plan (also from Blue Cross) was only a $12,000 bill to me, as I was able to customize it to exclude maternity coverage, since we were done having kids. So, it can offer be cheaper to give an employee an extra $5,000 in salary (for them to cover their own healthcare expenses) than for the company to carry the costs of funding their own healthcare plan for the company.
That said, there are creative ways to structure compensation packages to attract "A Players", without having to pay "A Prices", and that typically comes down to offering them rich equity packages in your business. As an example, the CFO who takes a straight salary may get $150,000 in a startup company. But, you may only need to pay them $100,000 if you add 2.5% stock options to their package. And, frankly, if they are not willing to "put some skin in the game" and work for some piece of equity, they may not have the risk profile for a startup or the confidence in their own abilities, and perhaps should not be pursued for the position.
I typically offer employees a matrix of options to choose from including a mix of high salary/low equity; medium salary/medium equity; and low salary/high equity, and letting them choose the right mix for them. But, if your goal is to keep cash low, then you have to do an equally compelling job of selling them on the future value of the company, and their resulting equity value (where a lot of equity is their best option).
Part of the magic of a successful entrepreneur is to stay on top of key trends that are happening, both for their specific industry/competition, and for the startup/venture scene overall.
I won't go into too much detail on specific industry resources, as there are too many to list. But, instead, I will tell you how best to find these resources for your industry. While I was at MediaRecall, I had to learn the B2B online video space from scratch. So, I started doing various Google searches for things like "online video blogs", "online video resources", "online video trade shows", "online video associations", "online video magazines", "online video blogs", etc. I clicked through all the first page links, and came up with a list of about 100 valuable resources where I could: (i) stay on top of key industry/competitive trends; and (2) market MediaRecall's services to similar B2B readers of these outlets. I then signed up for all their relevant email or Twitter feeds so I could stay up-to-date on all happenings and discussions over time. Repeat this process for your business, and you will be surprised with the wealth of knowledge that is quickly available at your fingertips.

The presentation by the Franklin, MA - Dept of Public Works on the sidewalk snow removal plans for this winter. The presentation was made to the Town Council on 1/6/10.
Town of Franklin Department of Public Works Sidewalk Snow Removal Program January 6 th , 2009 2.
Snow Removal Priorities Roadways Public Buildings / Schools Sidewalks These priorities were established with cooperation of the School and Police Departments. 3.
School Policy on Inclement Weather What is the parents responsibility? “ On days when the weather is questionable but the schools are open, Please feel free to exercise your parental discretion to keep you child home…” From the “ Inclement weather and school closing information sheet” , distributed to all school students and their parents. Also available on the Town’s webpage. 4.
Resources Three Snow Removal Machines 31 Operators Budgeted On 12/28 only 25 operators available Due to unfilled vacancies, military deployment, worker’s compensation. Fewer may be available due to illness, or vacation . 5.
Challenges Over 35 miles of sidewalks identified for snow removal operations. 1. School walking routes 2. Downtown areas 3. High traffic / speed routes Mother Nature 1. Timing of Storm 2. Length of Storm 3. Type of Snow 4. Amount of Snow 6.
Time to Clear Sidewalks Less then six inches of snow, snow plows are used. More then six inches of snow, snow blowers are used. 1 day 2-3 days 7.
December 19-20 th Snow Storm Crews started working 9PM on Sat. night Finished at 7PM on Sunday, 22 hours total. A total of 18 inches of snow fell. Sidewalk removal started @ 4AM on Monday December 21 st . Completed on Wednesday Dec 23th. Total cost of Storm: $158,050.00 8.
Possible Solutions to Increase Timeliness of Sidewalk Plowing Purchase additional sidewalk machines. (each cost approximately $120K) (financial decision?) Deployment of Staff. (collective bargaining issues?) Outsource work. (finding a contractor?) Require residents to remove snow on sidewalks in front of their property. 9.
Other Options Continue to educate the public, particularly parents with school aged children, about the Town’s sidewalk snow removal plan. Reinforce the School’s Inclement Weather and School Closing policy to parents of school aged children. Educate the Children about the dangers of walking in the roadway. Delay or Close schools until the sidewalks are cleared. 10.

A brilliant plan suddenly goes awry… | The Cranford Pundit.
A brilliant plan suddenly goes awry…
On one level, this is funny.
This is the complaint filed on the mayor of Orange, who thought that a great way to get about $5,000 in walking around money would be to attach those little “guest check” stubs to expense reports and make up some fictitious credit card slips.
Great idea, you say? Even when writing them out with his other hand (and consistently at that)? Even though they were often in sequential control number order? Even when submitting the yellow and white copies of a credit card slip while deftly altering the date on one of them for use in a later report?
I’m struggling with the main takeaway from this. Is it that the level of contempt for the taxpayers is so high, the sense of entitlment so great and the knowledge of exceedingly lax oversight would create such behavior?
Is this the tip of the iceberg with regard to his self enrichment (this being the low hanging fruit to indict on)?
Or is he just a greedy idiot?
One thing’s for sure: no style points on this one.

Destiny calls them. Duty binds them. Her heart yearned for a purpose that would shake the boredom away from her mundane life at Bridgerton. After her father returns home married to Lady Caterina, it only gets worse by the moment. A mysterious amulet makes her suspicious of her stepmother’s intent, so much so that she finds herself spending her days spying on her. If Brieanna had known that following her new stepmother to her secret rendezvous would lead to a deadly werewolf bite, perhaps she would have thought twice about dealing with the deadly viper. When she unexpectedly survives, destiny continues to lead her down the winding road to a life covered in powerful secrets that are hers alone to bear. Lord Kent wanted nothing more than to bring an end to the madness that surrounded him. After losing his family to maniacal attacks from the Lair, he would go to any lengths to bring them down, even if it meant joining forces with the Lair to uncover their deadly secrets. When he was tasked by Lord Kensington to marry Lady Brieanna, Lord Kent had his reservations, but he could not deny his command. As a double agent working for Madigan’s Army, he had to protect his cover at all costs.

The destined series comes to a wonderful end with In Chains.
The unanswered questions that you wondered about in the first two books were wrapped into the conclusion of this series.
One can hope that the light battle could soon continue with more stories of the ladies of Lena.

Amazing read! Fell in love with the charactures. I can't wait for the next one :)
5.0 out of 5 starsIn Chains
ByMichelle Maueron July 31, 2014
An amazing read! Brieanna has lost her mother and is losing her father to an evil woman, his new wife Lady Caterina. She has some sort of magical powers over him, which Brieanna does not understand. She is sent to marry a man she has never met, which has to be better than the life she currently has and she has her own mission. Brieanna is a strong woman who learns she may not be a direct member of the Woman of Lena, but she is an important part. Brieanna marries Lord Kent (Leo), who is more than meets the eye.
At times I wanted to scream at Elissa and at others I wanted to hug her!
I don't want to say to much because I strongly believe everyone should read this book, especially if you enjoy reading about strong women, protective men and shifters.
5.0 out of 5 starsAnother great work for Author Elissa Daye.
ByCrystal Potteron August 1, 2014
I love this book. Author Elissa Daye is becoming one of my favorite authors by far. Her story plots and characters are unique and keep me interested through out the story. This book was wonderful. The way that she portrayed Brieanna and Leo's story and how they come together is a work of art for me. I can't wait to read more of her work.
Byjulieon March 28, 2015
Absolutely a beautiful story. This book has a wonderful story line. The characters are amazing.

lUNiTED STATES PATENT DEEIGE. THEODORE ASGHERFELD, OF ELKTON, MARYLAND. IMPROVEMENT IN MAIL-LOCKS. Specification forming part of LcttersPatent N o. 53,096, dated March 13, 1866 antedated February 28, 1866. To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, THEoDoRE AscHER FELD, of Elkton, in the county of Cecil and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the External Form and Construction of Gases for Padlocks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a padlock illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is va cover or cap to be slipped over the lock to protect the seal and paper from the casualties incident t0 traveling and transportation. Similar letters of reference refer to like parts in the different figures. rlhe object of my invention is to enable the postmaster, proprietor, or other party locking a mail-bag, say, for instance, to place a sealed or equivalently-secured strip around the lock and over the keyhole, which, by remaining intact till the package reaches its destination, shall indicate that the lock has not been tampered with, and thus afford, to the extent indicated, a security for its safe transmission. To enable one skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to construct and use. the same, I will proceed to describe it. A is a padlock of ordinary interior construction butthe exterior plates, B, have shoulders, beads, or projections G upon them for the purpose of admitting and protecting a strip, D, of paper or oth er material which is wrapped around the lock, so as to cover and protect the key-hole G from being tampered with. To adapt the improvement to locks already constructed, the lock may be firmly inclosed between platesB B, which are riveted together. At some places in the depression E, which surrounds the lock, are studs, pins, or points F. which pass throughthe encircling paper and keep it from slipping around after being placed in position. The operation of using the same may be as follows: The locks, which we will suppose in the description to be self-lookin g, are each in turn wrapped around by a strip of paper or other material, which is secured by gum. The paper, which on one side has the printed destination of the mail-bag, is to be sealed or receive the signature of the sender, with the date of sending, over the key-hole. They are then laid aside to be attached to the mail-bag, when the latter is closed, and for this purpose the square shape and hat base is convenient, as it affords a good shape for the label or paper strip, and they may be placed around on a bench in a standing` position ready for use. As has been expressed or inferred, the strips, with destination ready printed, may be prepared for each place for which mails are made up, and being attached are then signed and sealed. These directions are given in good faith as a feasible mode of procedure; but it will be manifest that the method of utilizing the device Ihave described will vary with circumstances and the character of the package thus secured. It may be used to secure packages in the hands of express companies or baggage conductors, and in many other ways which I do not consider myself bound to anticipate. It can hardly be necessary to say that it may be applied after the lock is attached where the lock is not self-locking. The cover or cap, Fig. 2, affords protection to the strip of paper or other sealing device or material of analogous character, and is slipped over the lock, the staple of the lock protruding through the slit M in the cover N. It is intended to stamp upon the respective sides of the cover the two offices between which the mail-bag thus secured is to be passed-as, for instance, one side marked Elktom Md,77 and the yother Washington, D. C, the particular destination being upon the outer side for the current trip. When used as a protection for a travelingbag or trunk, the cover may be imprinted with the residence or destination of the owner. Having thus described my invention, what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. The construction of the lock-case as described, with a bead or projection affording protection to astrip which is wrapped around it, for the purpose described. 2. The groove around the lock-case, in combination with the securing-pins or their substantial equivalents for retaining the strip in position. 3. The cover N, in combination with the said lock-case, as and for the purpose de scribed. THEODORE ASCHERFELD. Witnesses: EDWARD H. KNIGHT, ALExR. A. C. KLAUGKE.

A classic story of a quest driven by destiny and set in a land where elves, magicians, and humans live side by side, the battle between good and evil, innocence and cynicism, is taken up once again. John Malkovitch camps it up as the evil King Galbatorix, a former guardian of peace who long ago went over to the dark side. He now rules over a land from which dragons have all but disappeared, until humble farm boy Eragon (newcomer Edward Speelers) happens upon a mysterious blue object that turns out to be a dragon egg. Eragon befriends the charming dragon cub, Saphira (voiced with aplomb by Rachel Weisz), and becomes her rider, designating him as the principal warrior in the fight against evil. Jeremy Irons steals the show as the wise and mysterious old man who becomes Eragon's mentor, guiding him through the tasks of saving a princess (Sienna Guillory) battling an evil sorcerer (Robert Carlyle, TRAINSPOTTING), and fending off hordes of the hideous Urgals. All of this will strike the seasoned fantasy viewer as familiar territory, but the formula is given life by veterans Malkovitch and Irons, as well as the young Speelers. The film was shot mostly in Hungary, whose breathtaking landscape combines to great effect with excellent cinematography. The special effects, created by LORD OF THE RINGS' Digital Magic and STAR WARS' Industrial Light and Magic, more than live up to the precedent set by those films, while the dragon is film's true star.Product DetailsEdition: With IRCNumber of Discs: 1Rating: PG (MPAA)Film Country: USAUPC: 024543685289Additional DetailsGenre:Science-Fiction/FantasyFormat:Blu-ray DiscDisplay Format:With IRCDirector:Stefen FangmeierLeading Role:Edward Speleers, Jeremy Irons, John MalkovicheBay Product ID: EPID82058499Editorial reviews"Stefen Fangmeier's attention to the special effects in ERAGON is duly impressive."Box Office - Tim Cogshell (02/01/2007)Reviews & ResearchCustomer ReviewsAverage review score based on 136 user reviews92%of customers recommend this productWrite a reviewRating distributions5 star844 star253 star102 star111 star6See all reviewsView all customer reviews (136)Sorted by RelevanceCreated: 03/06/07Why the Bad Press?See all reviews by lsdazraelby: lsdazrael ( 236 ) Review For: Eragon (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set, Widescreen)I don't understand why all the bad press has been coming out about Eragon. Sure, I normally take the Hollywood critics with a grain of salt, but with all the poor reviews coming out, my sodium intake is way too high! Given, Eragon is not high art. It won't make any great contribution to the discipline of film theory, but it is a solid sword and sorcery offering. I enjoyed it tremendously. I think many people (or at the very least, a lot of young guys of my generation) will get a kick out of the premise: a seemingly insignificant young man finds a dragon egg that will launch him into a greater world of magic, wonder, and the fight against evil. And, really, who hasn't daydreamed about dragons as a child. Or if you're a nerd like me, I can rephrase the question: "Who doesn't daydream about dragons on a regular basis." But seriously, this is a great film for the whole family. There is a small amount of what they call "fantasy violence" (which means only the bad non-human critters get killed on-screen), but nothing to the extent of, say, Braveheart. The themes are pretty simple, and everything conflict in the film is presented in convenient black and white dualisms, so you don't have to explain any morally ambiguous actions to the kids. It's not a smart film, but adults will still enjoy the light humor, the fairly standard adventure story that you need not pay constant attention to, and the uplifting fantasy aspects (it didn't make me sob, like after Gandalf bit it in the Mines of Moria, anyway). Most amazing of all is that a teenager wrote the book this was based on. True, he's no Fritz Lieber or Terry Pratchett, but I have to give credit to the kid - I know what I was up to when I was a teenager, and it certainly wasn't writing novels! So, once again, I think the critics are off base. Maybe they need to relax and have a little fun with their movies, rather than overanalyzing them. Highly recommended!

He also has to learn to trust after his uncle and family are killed by the evil king's men. It is coming of age story of a young boy he developes into a man by the help of Saphira who has chosen him above all to be her dragon rider. Eargon discovers how to love and care both for his princess and for his dragon. Eragon discovers his powers as he helps to heal his Shapira when she falls helping him. Although this film has violence it is well told as was the Lord of the Rings. Graphics are excellant and believable. It is a great family movie for children 11 and older. It is entertaining for adults as well. All around good movie. Highly recommend. There could be a sequel as the this is a trilogy. The next book is called Eldest and the evil king is working misery again. As an adult if you are a fan of Sci Fi and dragon lore you will not be dissappointed. Your children will be filled with the wonder of the possiblity of really finding a place in this world and being important in their own right. Enjoy!

Another fantasitical adventure that will entertain any that enjoys this genre of film. For me it was a must buy after seeing it, because one viewing just wasn't enough. Fun, fantasy, and a dark tale all rolled into one. The scenery is spectacular and the story invigorating. It left me wanting more and highly anticipating a sequel. Enjoyed Jeremy Irons' portrayal of Eragon's mentor very much, as well as John Malkovich's role as the evil king. The rest of the cast are vitual unknowns to me (outside of Djimon Hounsou of "Gladiator" and "Amistad" fame), but the film made it easy for them to bring their characters to life in a most enjoyable manner. Will be totally disappointing if they don't make a sequel as they left you hanging in the end and making it so the story is unfinished, but they did it in a good way. Treat yourself and others with this movie, you won't regret it and neither will they. The cinematography and special effects are top notch. Well Done!! Report this review Was this review helpful? Yes | NoCreated: 03/29/07If you like DragonsSee all reviews by dvdmagnetincby: dvdmagnetinc ( 115046 ) Review For: Eragon (DVD, 2007, Canadian; Full Frame)The story is well written about a boy (Eragon) who finds a dragon egg and eventually becomes a rider of a dragon. Now that he has a dragon he can take on the evil king and his minons. Here is where the story crosses over almost directly mimicing "Star Wars". Enter the beautiful princess and wise mentor Jeremy Irons. As the movie gathers steam more characters join the small force to over throw the King and restore the Kingdom. If you liked Star Wars it will be an enjoyable journey. On the Dvd check out the scean when the dragon is hatching from the egg pause it and you can see a light bulb behind the egg on the left side.

Nonetheless, the story line is simple and plausible for the movie version. I have not read the book, but according to Wikipedia things progress differently towards the end than in the movie (so what's new?), because there are actually two more books in this trilogy, of which this is the first. It was just a great feel-good movie where the bad guys really get their due (and John Malkovich plays the evil king, which he acts so well). The lack of a British accent w/him is the only thing askew w/his character. Everyone is cast well and I especially think Jeremy Irons was well cast for his role as Eragon's dragon riding tutor and mentor. Other critics/reviewers make the point that the effects are akin to Star Wars, but I liked the Star Wars series, so it didn't bother me any. People will find a lot of faults with the movie, but I just like finding a movie that's not so evil and that is light and entertaining. (Another favorite is "Ever After" with Drew Barrymore, if that tells you my tastes). Saphira's flight scenes are the most fun; great CG effects. This is one I'd really like to see made into a sequel; the author has written the book. However, this didn't do well at the box office, so we're probably out of luck for Eragon Part II. Fun fact (learned from the Wikipedia reference); the name Eragon is simply "Dragon" that starts with an "E" instead of "D"! Report this review Was this review helpful?
