It's Draft Day Open Thread: Threat Level Feaster
June 30 2013 12:29PM
It's been asserted by more than a few people that today is "The Most Important Day In Calgary Flames History", which, by the way, isn't true, but is one of those fork in the road moments for the organization, and need not be taken lighlty.
Flames fans, rightfully so, are TERRIFIED about the developments about to unfold today. Many of them are looking at their watch and wondering if it's too early to hit the sauce. For the record, I'm writing this now because it's too early for the liquor store to be open.
In an effort to kill time and to agitate an entire fanbase, I thought I'd take a minute to offer a little bit of a Draft Primer that touches on the picks held and some of the rumours surrounding the Flaming C.
Those Three Firsties

The Flames, as you all no doubtedly are aware by now, hold the 6th, 22nd, and 28th draft picks in the first round. There's been endless debate as to what should happen to those picks, and needless to say, none of us anywhere have any damn clue as to what is going to happen. The Flames drafted Mark Jankowski last season, so the brass has set a precedent of erratic behaviour that really none of us have a read on.
That said, assuming none of the picks are traded (more on that later), there's a fairly good consensus that the 6th overall pick should yield one of Elias Lindholm, Valeri Nichushkin, or Sean Monahan, with the outside possibilities of Alexsander Barkov or Rasmus Ristolainen getting casual mentions as well.
Jay Feaster, allegedly a GM, has said some petrifying things regarding this pick. As an example, he's been quoted as saying that it will be a factor if the player selected isn't willing to come over to North America right away (via Ryan Rishaug), likely speaking to either Nichushkin or Lindholm, both of whom are better options for the Flames than Sean Monahan, but you know, ENIGMATIC, so...
Another dumb thing that's been rumoured relatively heavily this morning is the 6th pick going to Philly in exchange for Braydon Coburn and (something else). I don't know what the other piece involved would be, but it's not going to be Sean Couturier, and Braydon Coburn is not worth giving up the 6th pick for, so if this happens, I hope you've got your Jager Bombs ready. We're going to need to drink to forget.
There's whispers of a deal between the Flames and the Winnipeg Jets as well. there's no word as to what or who is involved, but it's got to be Olli Jokinen, because why wouldn't it be? Don't trust whatever you see, and if you happen to be in Jersey right now and see Jay Feaster, hit him. Right in the mouth. When you do it, you can say something awesome like "I'm supposed to tell you that Lanny sent me" or something. I don't care, just knock some sense into the man.

On the positive side, there have been rumours as well that the Boston Bruins, inexplicably, are looking to move young Tyler Seguin, and that the Flames are in on him. I'm not sure where the rumour originated from, but it's been talked about enough to talk about here, so shut up and listen!
The deal seems to be Seguin for the 6th, and the adorable Johnny Gaudreau. I know you all know that Flames Nation is high on Johnny Hockey, and if he were traded, a lot of you bought your Gaudreauby Baker shirts and are now nothing but rags to you, but make no mistake, if the Flames could pull off THAT deal, it's a total win. The Bruins allegedly souring on Seguin is their own misguided vision, not Calgary's.
There's a lot of bunk rumours out there that Seguin has a bit of a coke problem and some attitude, and certainly some of the things he says and does will not make him seem like a generally good person, but rumours are rumours, and hockey is hockey, and Seguin can play hockey. He had an off year (this season doesn't count anyway), but this is a Number 1 center waiting to happen, and the relative uncertainty surrounding Gaudreau makes the risk worth it.
22 and 28
No one has a damn clue what's happening with these picks. Our own Ryan Pike and Christian Roatis have profiled several potential targets for the Flames at these picks, and do a better job profiling any of them than I would, so you should check those out if you haven't yet.
The stronger likelihood here is that these picks get dealt. I don't know to whom or to where, but while distressing, it's a lot less to be concerned about than mismanaging the 6th pick. Still, have an extra shot or two ready just in case.
The Flames will also strut their stuff at the podium for picks 67, 135, 157, 187, and 198. There's not a whole lot to note in here, because drafting past even the second round is pretty volatile. Of note, with that third round pick, there's an outside chance the Flames could draft Jordan Subban, but this is mostly interesting because of the name, and not as much because of the player (not that he isn't good)
Also, assuming the team didn't foolishly draft a goalie in the first round (oh yeah, a real possibility. We all joke, because we've run out of tears), this might be where the team selects a goaltender, if they truly believe they need one, which, I don't know, I guess you can never have too many. If a Jussi Saros or Calvin Petersen is still available, it's worth a look at.
Eh Vinny

According to Elliotte Friedman, the Flames are one of the teams interviewing newly employable Vincent Lecavalier today. There are apparently about 8 or 9 teams interested in Vinny (including Atvomobilist, one of the worst and poorest teams in the KHL), but you'd have to believe only a portion of those teams are doing more than kicking tires.
The Flames, I'm sure, would love to sign Lecavalier, and honestly, if it were on a one year deal (two max) at a responsible dollar figure, I'd be okay with it. It seems unlikely that that would be the case, however, as the more teams in on him, the higher the price tag, at which point Feaster and friends should just casually bow out. The team is finally absolving itself of a bad contract era, and bringing in a new one is no way to usher in a new aeon of Flames hockey.
Drink Up
I know I haven't presented an overly rosy portrayal of how this day could shake out for your Calgary Flames today, but I just really don't trust the decision makers on this team. Given the rumours swirling around the team, some dumb quotes by Jay Feaster, MARK JANKOWSKI, and so on and so forth, it's hard to have any kind of confidence inspired.
That's why I'm off to go stock up on supplies. The draft kicks off at 1 PM Calgary time. Make a game out of it. Do your own thing. Me, I'm going to build a bunker out of empties and I'm preparing to hide in it until Connor McDavid is draft eligible.
No thank yous. Awesome.
Mueller? I was totally expecting Shinkaruk.
Why does Detroit trade down EVERY YEAR????
Just starting to realize how deep this draft is...and am so glad we have three firsts.
No thank yous. Awesome.
Mueller? I was totally expecting Shinkaruk.
Why does Detroit trade down EVERY YEAR????
Probably cuz they have the best scouting department in the league.
The Fan 960 guys are still waiting to hear from Sean Monahan and haven't seen him in over one hour where some players have spoken to media within 10 minutes.
June 30 2013, 03:03PM
That's weird.
If shinkarik is so good why is everyone passing him up? I'm trying to learn more about this guy but can't find the drafting report on him
who cares?
don't hate on the messenger.
June 30 2013, 03:03PM
Rychel goes...Man can't believe we're within range of Shinkaruk.
who cares?
Thank you!
justin's top 5 available: mantha, shinkaruk, petan, lehkonen, klimchuk. still.
June 30 2013, 03:05PM
Man, I wish the Blues had lost a couple more games right now. And for the Leafs to get Shinkaruk would be painful.
June 30 2013, 03:06PM
You know Detroit's picking Shinkaruk.
jesus christ only one more!
June 30 2013, 03:06PM
There goes Mantha, who was my 2nd pick behind Shinkaruk at 22.
Toronto's going to pick Shinkaruk. Please no.
Holy Hell. Come on Shinkaruk.
You know Detroit's picking Shinkaruk.
Glad they didn't.
I finally called one. Haven't hit on a on-the-spot prediction since Domi to Phoenix.
I'm so nervous
The Fan 960 guys are still waiting to hear from Sean Monahan and haven't seen him in over one hour where some players have spoken to media within 10 minutes.
He did not seem that happy to be picked by Calgary. And when they asked him about himself, he was very brief and couldn't describe his playing.
They probably haven't made him available because he's going to get traded. Who knows.
justin's top 5 available: shinkaruk, petan, lehkonen, klimchuk, erne
June 30 2013, 03:09PM
If he falls to the Flames and they pass on him I'll be, uh...unhappy.
He did not seem that happy to be picked by Calgary. And when they asked him about himself, he was very brief and couldn't describe his playing.
They probably haven't made him available because he's going to get traded. Who knows.
Well I just heard he's finally made it and will be interviewed after Calgary picks at 22. Hard to read facial expressions, sometimes you don't know what he's thinking. But I don't think he's going to be an Erixon. What? Did he want to go to Oilers or Canes?
Look at the picture of him on the Flames website. Seriously, calm down. What is with people around here and freaking out about nothing?
Draft Fucale and send Toronto into fits. It would be awesome.
June 30 2013, 03:10PM
Toronto really needs some Adam Erne right now
We just aren't used to shiny new things.
Shinkaruk is available!
June 30 2013, 03:12PM
come on shinkaruk
Look at the picture of him on the Flames website. Seriously, calm down. What is with people around here and freaking out about nothing?
Dude, I watched him get drafted and talk to Duthie. Simply reporting what I saw him do.
The second part was hyperbole.
I'm actually quite calm, thanks for asking.
C'mon fucale!!! I want to see everyone's heads explode lol
June 30 2013, 03:12PM
Holy crap. Can't believe it. Shinkaruk is available.
June 30 2013, 03:12PM
OK, HUGE test for the Flames organization right now. They have a potential elite forward fall into their lap -- will they take it?
my body is ready
June 30 2013, 03:13PM
I will seriously lose my mind if we manage to get Monahan AND Shinkaruk in this draft
Come to us Shinkaruk. Can't believe he dropped this far I had him at number 10
June 30 2013, 03:13PM
@Brent G.
I would lose it.
June 30 2013, 03:13PM
The Flames braintrust must know Shinkaruk. How many times was Medicine Hat in town? Please another center . . . this center. I can't believe Cory Pronman has him at #10.
Still think they go Zykov here.
Shinkaruk is only a center in the same sense that Cammalleri is. I guarantee you he plays wing in the NHL.
The hockey gods are finally smiling on the Flames, I thought for sure Hunter would have been gone earlier.
Lol maybe everyone passed on him because having a soul is a caveat to playing for their team...

Dear Mr. Dad. My 16-year old son has been coming home with bruises on his face and arms. At first, I assumed they were from sports. But when I asked, he got very embarrassed and refused to talk about it. Thinking maybe he was getting bullied at school, I pushed the issue and eventually he told me that his girlfriend was hitting him. I was shocked—I've never heard of a girl beating up a guy before. How common is this?
A: Sadly, it's incredibly common—far more than most people would like to admit. If you look at official statistics you'll find that nearly all the perpetrators of domestic violence are male. Unfortunately, official statistics don't reflect reality. Men—including young men, like your son–almost never admit to being the victim of any crime at all, much less a violent one committed by a woman. And there's good reason. Violence by women against men is generally ignored or seen as funny. Just think of all the movies and TV shows where a woman slaps, kicks, or punches a man. The reaction? Laughter, applause, cheers. The message to women (and girls) is that it's okay to hit other people—especially males. And the message to men (and boys) is that if you ever get hurt by a female people are going to laugh at you.
So what are the real statistics? According to Murray A. Strauss, professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire, intimate partner violence (violence by people in relationships) is far from one sided. In most violent relationships, physical aggression is mutual, with both sides swinging at each other. But when violence is initiated by one person only, it's usually the woman. Strauss is no crank. He's been researching and writing about relationship violence for decades. And he's far from alone. Dozens of other researchers have also found that females are at least as violent as males. (There's a good bibliography at mediaradar.org/research.php.)
Critics say that even if that's true, men do more damage than women. But the research shows that men tend to use their hands while women use weapons. So even assuming that men do more damage, they certainly don't do ALL the damage.
So why have male victims and female perpetrators been ignored? In part, it's because there's a societal belief that women just aren't capable of violence. I wrote an article a few years ago about male victims of domestic violence and received the only death threat I've ever had in more than 15 years of writing. It was from a woman who—without noticing the irony—insisted that women are never violent. And she was going to kill me to prove it.
There's also a knee-jerk reaction to female-on-male violence: the guy deserves it. ABC news did a segment that explored how people react when seeing a woman abusing a man in public. The URL is too long to give you here, but go to YouTube and enter "reaction to women abusing men in public." I think (and hope) that you'll be shocked.
Unfortunately, I don't think the problem is going away anytime soon. We keep talking about "violence against women" as if it's the only kind of violence out there. As a result, very few female offenders will get the treatment they need and even fewer male victims will get the support they and their children need. We need to decide that violence—not just violence by men—is a problem. Then, and only then, will we be able to solve it.

By CARLY DAVISPhoenix, Ariz.Formerly of Castle Dale
I was very excited to see the article on Nov. 29 about little Tyler Brown, born premature. What a miracle he is. I know from first-hand experience that having an early baby is scary and stressful. My son Wesley was born in Phoenix, 16 weeks premature, weighing 1 lb., 5.6 ounces, and was 12 inches long. Unlike Tyler, my son was given a 30 percent chance of survival when he was born. Like Tyler, my son had a brain bleed which required two surgeries. Before he was able to leave the hospital, he had four surgeries total. He did come home on a nasal feeding tube, oxygen, and a heart monitor, but that didn't last very long.
I would like to offer some encouragement to the Labrum family and to the Brown family. My son will be 3 years old in March, and he is as healthy as can be. He wears glasses, and has some delays in development, but he is doing just about everything any 2 1/2 year old should be doing. His doctors and nurses have been absolutely amazed at his growth and progress since he came home. He spent 4 1/2 months in the hospital, and we did exceed the $1 million hospital bills, but it was worth it. It's Christmas time, and in the article it said Tyler should be home around now. I would like to wish the Brown family the best of luck with their little miracle. I know what a rough time it can be to have a little baby in the NICU. Good luck with your little man.

I'm part Mexican. I grew up in Mexico from 1967-1969. I still speak the language. I loved the people there, the country, and the whole experience. It was great.
Most of the Mexicans who have come to American are hard-working, ambitious people. Like my ancestors they have come to this country to better themselves and to give better opportunities to their families. They work very hard to succeed. True, many Mexicans take menial jobs and work like slaves, but if their children take advantage of the educational opportunities that are here in America, they will be the next doctors, lawyers, merchants, and chiefs. Those who do not will spend their lives working in fast-food restaurants, cutting lawns, cleaning motels, and houses-just going from menial job to menial job.
I would have no problem marching with Mexican nationals in the recent protest against harsh, new law penalizing illegal immigrants. They contribute to our economy. However, I would march only if we carry the American flag. It would be ridiculous to carry a Mexican flag as it would be for me to carry a Danish flag. Those who come to this country, plan to stay for an extended time, and have their posterity stay here forever need to become true Americans. And...they need to learn English and then to speak English.
Like all descendants of immigrants, I have another heritage. I am Danish-American. Ever heard those people mentioned beside Mexican-American, Japanese-American, or African-American? We are all just plain Americans.
My father-that's one generation ago-grew up in a home where Danish was the primary language. I grew up in the same house, and I know only one word of Danish: Copenhagen. That's not some filth you put in your lip; it's the capital of Denmark. I really am of Danish ancestry with a bit of Scotch Irish blood, but I am first and always an American. My paternal grandmother and my great-grandfather Nelson were both born in Denmark. I do not speak Danish. I do not wave a Danish flag. I don't own one or even know what one looks like. I am an American.
All people who expect the freedoms, advantages, and prosperity of our American way of life need to become whole heartedly American, need to learn and speak English, and need to participate completely in the American way of life. If immigrants become taxpaying, voting members of society, then they are truly American-like me. I've stopped being a Danish-American. Mexicans need to stop being Mexican or Hispanic-Americans. Pledge allegiance to the flag and assimilate. It's a good thing.

Posted on 04/17/2006 2:34:31 PM PDT by blam
First Knights Templar are discovered
April 10, 2006
LONDON: The first bodies of the Knights Templar, the mysterious religious order at the heart of The Da Vinci Code, have been found by archaeologists near the River Jordan in northern Israel.
British historian Tom Asbridge yesterday hailed the find as the first provable example of actual Knights Templar.
The remains were found beneath the ruined walls of Jacob's Ford, an overthrown
castle dating back to the Crusades, which had been lost for centuries.
They can be dated to the exact day -- August 29, 1179 -- that they were killed by Saladin, the feared Muslim leader who captured the fortress.
"Never before has it been possible to trace their remains to such an exact time in history,' Mr Asbridge said. "This discovery is the equivalent of the Holy Grail to archaeologists and historians. It is unparalleled."
GGG Ping.
More info please....
Release the Monty Python's upon this thread!
Thanks for posting this article.
So far, their claims seem a bit outrageous as they offer no validation nor give any explanation as to the 'how' of their ability to so precisely date this find.
More info, please! Extremely interesting...and relevant.
How convenient. Just in time for the motion picture release.
Boy is Sony Pictures going to be loving these guys. Heck, they even managed to work in a "Holy Grail" reference into their quote.
One might even think the timing of this was planned?...
I'm amazed at the amount of people who rather believe the DaVinci Code rather than the Bible. Will the DaVinci Code still be a bestseller a thousand years from now?
"British historian Tom Asbridge yesterday hailed the find as the first provable example of actual Knights Templar."
Is someone questioning the actual existence of Knights Templar? I don't "get" this statement at all. The first known instance of my own surname appears in the Templar Inquisition of 1185. I wish I could say I had proved my line, uninterrupted, back to that point, but that doesn't change the earliest record of it.
You are correct. It takes more to believe something like the Da Vinci code than to belive in Jesus.
"I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."
Someone doubted the historical record of Templars?
What is your quest?
I'm a little mystified at this assertion myself.
Oh, I've already seen one of those knights. He was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Very cool.
Dig around the site (no pun intended). I heard of the Authority on a Discovery Channel episode where they were excavating a structure believed to be once occupied by the Knights Templar.
How does one misplace a castle for a few centuries? I guess they didn't have Amber Alerts back then.
probably the calendar watches that were worn by the knights were broken during the battle, so the archaeologists just had to read the time and date.
So far, their claims seem a bit outrageous as they offer no validation nor give any explanation as to the 'how' of their ability to so precisely date this find.
They FOUND BODIES from the 12th Century??
And they KNOW the exact date of death?
"How does one misplace a castle for a few centuries?"
Well, we "lost" James Cittie (Jamestown) for a few centuries, and it's only 400 years old, so I guess it's possible to lose a castle over a much longer period of time.
My thoughts, too. Shouldn't it be "the Knights Templar, the most important Christian military order during the Crusades..."
Sounds like it, huh?
This place, too.
Unlike the NY Times!
That can't be... I thought Saladin was the wise and peaceful ruler who only wanted muslims, christians, and jews to all get along.
well, if you read the sentence very carefully, it is clear that it was the Crusades, not the castle, that had been lost for centuries.
i always embed gps chips in my castles, and i have never lost any of them.
"Sounds like it, huh?"
It also sounds as if the very existence of the order was being questioned, further into the article.
The new hit show "CSI Jerusalem".
I lost my house, one night. Then I sobered up.
"I lost my house, one night. Then I sobered up."
Don't you just hate it when that happens?
Funnier still you should read the story of a guy named Joseph Smith.
Let's not go there... 'Tis a silly place.
Well, isn't that convenient!
There's a quite good novel by Umberto Eco (author of "The Name of the Rose" which became a movie) called "Foucault's Pendulum"...it's sort of "The DaVinci Code" for intelligent people...and has a sort of clever, unusual take on secret societies and conspiracies - has nothing to do with any purported family of Jesus or anything, but does center on the Templars.
It's long, and the first 50 pages are pretty boring, but then it gets good and you'll learn more about the Templars, Assassins, Rosicrucians, Bavarian Illuminati, etc. than you ever wanted to know.
That tone seems to be prevelant in the msm. One can sense the msm only judges from afar without doing real investigative work. But what else is new? lol
Totally agree, anytime the MSM gets involved the tend to screw up the facts with their stupid spin. Amen.
Thanks for the site to review.

Making vinegar can be a rewarding hobby and you will appreciate the superb quality of the vinegar. The procedure for making vinegar can be applied to many choices of food products. Any fruit, grape, honey, sugar, molasses, even maple sap or syrup can be fermented to produce alcohol and then fermented again by acetobacter bacteria resulting in vinegar. Acetobacter bacteria consume alcohol from wine, cider or beer and produce the acid we call vinegar. The bacteria in all of the cultures are the same. The difference between them is the liquid in which they are stored in. If this is your first time making vinegar we recommend our Making Vinegar book.

Vinegar Making With Acetobacter is a Rewarding Hobby and You will Make Superb Homemade Vinegar.

Hi Geekgirl, Anxi light TGY suppose to have bitten whole leaves, thats a sign of good craftsmanship, but in a very control fashion of course.
If you do have a bit more sample left, I would suggest 7g/90ml (the 7g is a traditional standard for competition ratio in Anxi) 190F/15s, 15s, boiling/20s and on. The extra 2g and hotter water might really do justice. Good Luck ~ T
Yes, this tea leaf looked exactly how I would expect TKY to look, although there were a few more torn leaves than I would expect in a fine tea, but certainly not enough to be considered low quality. Again, I am being nitpicky. However, if I had judged this tea purely by the appearance of the leaves, I would have pegged it as premium.
The hotter water definitely improves this tea. I think I have 6g left, which I will use entirely for my next session. Honestly, if it weren't for the price point, I probably wouldn't be scrutinizing it to this degree.
I have to admit having a laugh at myself regarding this. I feel a little bit like Frasier and Niles Crane trying to decide if the Grenache-Shiraz contains a 6% blend of Mourvedre, or 15%.

I have an older home (1950) and am looking to install a basement toilet in what is currently a laundry/shower room. However, the current layout warrants a description of the fixtures along the drain line...
The current shower is a 3x3 one piece fiberglass unit that is set on top of mortar and wood; the waste water does not drain into a p-trap or pipe, but rather onto the tiled floor below the shower and into the floor drain (which is about 1.5 feet in front of the shower opening). A wood platform rests over the floor drain so shower occupants do not have to step into the drain.
Next to the floor drain is a vertical vent pipe (2", cast iron); at the ceiling, it turns 90 degrees, runs about 5 feet, then exits to the kitchen above.
The adjacent utility tub drains into the vent pipe about one foot above the floor.
The next fixture (approx 4 feet from the utility tub)is a 2" cast iron drain pipe from the kitchen above. This vertical pipe rests behind a door jamb which serves as an entrance to a bar. A cleanout is located at the base.
About 3-4 feet into the bar is the 3" cast iron main stack with a cleanout at the base. At this point, I'm assuming the drain line turns 90 degrees and runs out to the front street to the city sewer line.
My intention is to put a toilet between the utility tub and the kitchen drain pipe, but I am unsure what the size of my drain line is below the concrete, and I am leery about breaking up the concrete. Is it possible to use the main stack cleanout as an access for a 3" toilet drain? My thought is to attach a 90 degree bend at the cleanout, then run about 5 or 6 feet of 3" pipe from the bend to the area where the toilet flange would be located. I would then simply build a raised floor in the bar and by the toilet.
In essence, I would have a raised toilet, which would not be undesireable if what I am proposing is a viable option. Sorry for the lengthly description, but any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cost info would be beneficial, too!!! :-)

River Hills passes decreased budget, flat levy and tax rate
Collecting fines and forfeitures may be an issue
River Hills - In the coming year, the village of River Hills will spend less than last year and work with a flat tax levy.
The Village Board last week approved an approximately $4.6 million 2013 budget and an approximately $2.9 million levy, down 5.15 and 0.01 percent, respectively.
The village tax rate will stay flat at $6.10 per $1,000 of assessed property value, meaning the average River Hills resident with a home valued at $733,136 will pay $4,472.13 to support the 2013 village budget.
Village Manager Christopher Lear described the budget as "status quo" in terms of village services and operations in the coming year. The biggest savings in 2013, resulting from a consolidation of the village manager and clerk/treasurer roles, will be largely offset by an increase in debt payments next year associated with the village's capital improvement plan, as well as routine equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
"There were some real savings there," Lear said of the staffing change.
Lear and Village President Robert Brunner indicated that the village will try to refinance some existing debt in the coming months, likely through the Wisconsin State Trust Fund Loan Program. Trustee Stephen Anderson suggested that the village try refinancing with a private loan. Brunner doubted that he could find a loan with a lower interest rate than the State Trust Fund, but nevertheless encouraged Anderson to look.
"We should be doing quite well on this overall financing," said Brunner, referring to the 2.75 percent rate offered by the state.
Trustees were concerned, however, by the village's amount of fines and forfeitures in 2012, which are currently 6 percent under budget, with approximately $53,000 outstanding.
"This is a revenue item that we count on for future salaries and other (budget items)," Brunner said.
Police Chief Tom Rischmann said after the meeting that in extreme cases when letters, license suspensions, and warrants don't aid in collection, the state Department of Revenue will intervene through the Tax Refund Interception Program, which diverts individuals' tax refunds to owed agencies. However, according to Rischmann and DOR documentation, municipalities are paid after the DOR and state agencies take child support.
"It's get in line," Rischmann said. "We might be tenth or fifteenth in line. We might never see (the owed fines and forfeitures)."
Nevertheless, when asked by trustees what he thought of the village's revenue from 2012 fines and forfeitures, Lear said "nothing concerns" him.
Lear added that tax rates and levies from other taxing jurisdictions, like Milwaukee County, Milwaukee Area Technical College, and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, are mostly "status quo" as well and shouldn't impact River Hills taxes much in the coming year.
"Our residents should not be unhappy when they get their tax bills," he said.

Motorama 2011 Live Coverage
Sponsored by Tekin
Welcome to RC car Action's live coverage of Motorama 2011! Motorama is the largest motorsports event in the country and it's all under one roof at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA. At Motorama you can find multiple car shows, arena cross racing, oval racing and RC is a major part of the event. I'm here all weekend long giving you updates and all the inside, behind-the-scenes info…and I'm getting in on the action and fun. My Losi TEN SCTE is charged up and ready to race. Best of all, I'll be working with Losi's own Adam Drake on my setup. Keep checking back all weekend for photos, videos and much more!
Day 1 of Motorama is in the books and I think it's safe to say that everyone is having a great time. The RC tracks are up and running and everyone is getting their practice laps in and getting ready for the qualifiers tomorrow. The nitro track is slightly smaller than last year and the ventilation is still an issue. There's a thick cloud of nitro exhaust and dust in the air. There are fans blowing fresh air in but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Most drivers, pit men, and turn marshals are wearing gas masks to filter the air. The nitro pit area is very big and almost full of racers. Some are doubling up and running eclectic as well.
The electric track is a good 10 to 15 min walk from the nitro track and things are calmer there. Unlike the nitro track, the electric track is slightly larger than last year. The track surface is very bumpy and it feels like you're walking on a soft brownie when turn marshaling. The electric track is a little more challenging due to multiple poles around the area. Next to the electric track is a rock crawling section. There are multiple piles of rocks and a trick scale area.
While at Motorama, I'll be racing my Losi TEN SCTE in the 4wd short course class. I am running it right out of the box and am very happy with its performance so far. I figured that I'd have to change up the setup for this track but it feels right at home on the bumpy track. The stock tires were working well while the track was still damp but after the third round of practice and a day of drying time, it was a little on edge. I grabbed a set of JCocepts Bar Codes and just finished gluing them up for the first round of qualifying tomorrow.
Day 2
Day two of Motorama is over and it was an exciting day. The doors were open to the public and the place was packed. There was a lot of time for everyone on the RC side of things to walk around and see all the cool stuff going on. The two car shows had some great cars and trucks and some unusual vehicles. You can buy all kinds of t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, helmets and more. The Robot wars are pretty exciting those guys are pretty serious about their vehicles. I'd have to say that the biggest attraction by far is the dirt bike/quad racing. There were people lined up all day to get into the arena and on the track with their machines.
The nitro guys were running in round three when I left and I think there's a good chance that they will make it through by the end of the night. On the electric side, things were a little slower. As far as the tracks go, it looked to me that the nitro track was starting to blow out making it hard for some to navigate. On the electric track, it's starting to get more and more slick as the track dries out.
As far as my day of qualifying goes, I did very well in the morning. My TEN SCTE was pretty fast and my JConcepts tires were dialed. I managed to come in second overall by the end of round 1. My second qualifier didn't go as well and I need to step it up in the morning when we get to round three so stay in the A main.

SMS Texting Celebrates 20 Years with Paper
Can you remember a time before text messaging? The relatively new invention was launched in 1992, but it's hard to remember a time when this wasn't one of our primary forms of communication. To celebrate 20 years, notebook innovator Moleskine has launched a special edition analog SMS text message. The tiny notebook comes with a cover launching pad and tiny messages such as "I Love You" and "Call Me" which can be folded up and launched via slingshot across a room. For us it recalls the schoolroom days when we'd get busted for writing a note and passing it to a friend. It's a fun idea to celebrate a form of technology we now take for granted, and a great gift for anyone in your life with a smartphone addiction.

Ginger & Blue
December 22, 2006 12:00:00 Posted at December 22, 2006 12:00:00
SOOO cute! Geri Halliwell with her daughter BlueBell Madonna – for the record, I adore the name BlueBell – bundled up for chilly temperatures. They look great, non? Especially Geri. In fact, since Blue, Geri has never looked better. Check her out earlier this week at a premiere in London – radiant, fit, healthy, and accompanied by Kenny Goss, George Michael's longtime lover… Faghag for life, right? Love, love, love. Source

Shortly after the new Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, arrived at the Pentagon, he told his staff that he wanted to reach out to military and veterans organizations. As a result of that request, I recently spent two days at a Pentagon roundtable meeting with Secretary Hagel, senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials, and twenty-one other military and veterans organization leaders. I appreciate Secretary Hagel's early outreach and the opportunity his roundtable discussion provided for me to ask many of the questions military families have been asking us about sequestration, support for military families, and what lies ahead for our military community.
Secretary Hagel shared his opinion that the tough budget realities facing DoD would not change. He asked how DoD can effectively work with military and veterans organization to expand the services and support our service members and military families need. This was an important discussion for a new Secretary of Defense to have with the organizations in the room and, I hope, with many others in the future. Partnerships and collaborations are important, but we also need to talk about the unique obligation our government, through the Department of Defense, has to support and sustain military families during times of war and peace.
We remain a nation at war. Our all-volunteer force, making up less than one percent of the nation, has made extraordinary sacrifices for our country. Military families are navigating new uncertainties: unpredictable deployment schedules; downsizing; worry about how the stress of separation and reunion will affect family relationships; and concern that the foundation of support families have come to rely on will disappear.
The reality of sequestration adds to the stress of military families. Will the military be able to retain mental health counselors and will civilian mental health providers continue to care for our families to the extent needed? How will DoD address the consequences of civilian employees furloughs on the delivery of support services? Will child care services be available for school-aged children who suddenly have fewer school days? Will families be reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs made in anticipation of a deployment only to learn the deployment has been cancelled? Will DoD have robust resources for the families affected by suicide or sexual assault? Does DoD have the funding and capacity to meet the mandated requirements of the new transition assistance program to effectively prepare transitioning families?
Our Association's highest priority is to fight for military families. We will fight to ensure programs and benefits critical to the wellbeing of military families are authorized, funded, and implemented to maintain their readiness and allow them to meet the challenges of military life. We will fight to protect families from destructive budget cuts. We will fight to relieve the emotional stress of military families as service members respond to crises worldwide.
What budget cuts are you most concerned about?
Posted by Joyce Raezer, Executive Director at the National Military Family Association

19. Gartner, Stamford, Conn.
Rating: 3.7
Recent review by: Account executive (current employee), Fort Myers, Fla.
Pros: "The training provided is next to none and gives new employees the tools to hit the ground running. Coming from a larger corporation, the culture here is a breath of fresh air. Everyone is ambitious and smart with a drive to do more. Friendly competition and collaboration is a staple of the everyday Gartner day and team outings and quarterly incentives puts Gartner a step above the rest. The Fort Myers office is brand new with state of the art technology and strong senior leadership."
Cons: "Fort Myers is a little slow, so finding something fun to do takes some work."

You will learn how to communicate and gather important information from clients so you can provide custom tailored solutions to them."
Cons: "You're expected to be at a morning meeting at 7:30 every day and review publicly what you've accomplished regarding your stated goals. If your manager requires you to book 4 new appointments a day, you will call until you do so. Like it or not, everyone's production numbers are posted system wide every month."
Advice to senior management: "Have more informal events where new and experienced agents can interact."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
16. Eaton, Cleveland
Rating: 3.8
Recent review by: Leadership Development Program (current employee), Beltsville, Md.
Pros: "A focus on ethics. Eaton makes this a priority, and it shows: the culture here is that we always act ethically. Opportunities: being large and diverse, there is always room for lateral or vertical moves, regardless of the economy. If you are talented, you'll have a job here. A common vision: "powering business worldwide" isn't just a tagline, it defined what we do. No matter where you go within Eaton, the focus is always on providing efficient power management needs for our customers."
Cons: "A true corporation. If you don't want to be a cog in a big institution, look elsewhere. It can be frustrating trying to effect change, due to the large size and top-down management. In the aerospace group, there has been a lot of organizational shift lately, which makes it difficult to consistently perform at the plant-level."
Advice to senior management: "Spend some time at your various sites, helping them to better understand the role the play in the bigger organization,."
15. Deloitte, New York City
Rating: 3.8
Recent review by: Anonymous employee (former employee), San Francisco

14. Ernst & Young, London
Rating: 3.8
Recent review by: Anonymous employee (current employee), Chicago
Pros: "Great place to start your career. Organized training program and onboarding process. The company talks the talk and walks the walk when it comes to people first culture with flexibility and mobility."
Cons: "As it is a public accounting firm, non-assurance service lines are still somewhat ran as assurance service line. Technology is a bit behind compared to its competitors."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company"
13. Cameron International, Houston
Rating: 3.8
Recent review by:Engineer II (current employee), Houston
Pros: "Cameron has an excellent set of core values. These values spread across all divisions and flows down through the ranks. Cameron demonstrates that they care about every employee. One manifestation of this is Cameron's growing wellness program. Cameron also has nearly an endless opportunity for learning and mobility within the company. They are focused on the employees career and give plenty of opportunity for growth. Management understands that every employee has career goals and Cameron is not one to stand in the way of those goals. If that's not enough, they have a great benefits package."
Cons: "Cameron still has some older employees who are stuck in their ways. They inhibit the eager creativity, innovation, excellence and growth of younger employees."
Advice to senior management: "Let your employees think for themselves, express their ideas in a positive, welcoming environment, and give concern to their personal lives."
12. UniFirst, Wilmington, Mass.
Rating: 3.8
Recent review by:Regional sales manager (current employee), Orlando, Fla.
Pros: "Achievements and hard work acknowledged. Upward and lateral mobility. My opinion matters and my work ethic is matched by upper management. Compensation, car allowance, stocks and health benefits."
Cons: "All locations are not run the same. Service teams and sales teams need to work closer together. Don't allow mediocre middle managers to remain in position. Have clear and measurable expectations to get them on the right path or out the door."
Advice to senior management: "Cross train service and sales teams at the same meetings. Get more involved in 'the trenches.'"
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company"
11. CareerBuilder, Chicago
Rating: 3.9
Recent review by:Client support specialist (current employee), Norcross, Ga.
Pros: "A great learning enviroment, management that actually care and share in your career growth strategies, outstanding benefits and perks."
Cons: "No cons. You get what you put into it."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
10. PwC, New York City
Rating: 3.9
Recent review by: Experienced audit associate (current employee), San Jose, Calif.
Pros: "If you like variety, PwC is the place to be. You have a great number of opportunities in both audit and advisory roles, and if you challenge yourself, you can grow your career here."
Cons: "With so much field work, it is often difficult to forge relationships within the firm itself. A lot of the firm initiatives tend to be underserved due to this, things like the coaching/buddy system. Also, the hours are as challenging as one would imagine (but most managers and above do more than pay lip service to firm Flexibility)."
Advice to senior management: "Someone within each market really needs to take a lead role in building better intra-office communication and ensuring that firm initiatives are being handled in a more meaningful way. Also, if you're going to invest so much time and energy in new products like Spark, there needs to be a more effective strategy for getting firm members to learn and utilize the [product]."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
9. Schlumberger, Houston
Rating: 3.9
Recent review by: Field engineer (current employee), Location unknown
Pros: "Unlimited career opportunities, working in a nice, multicultural environment with some very awesome people, opportunity to see the world and of course nice pay."
Cons: "Sometimes overloaded work and there are rarely some worthless people you meet that you say how the hell do they keep such a person in a company like this."
Advice to senior management: "Always have some time for your employees."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company." Next
8. Four Seasons, Toronto
Rating: 4.0
Recent review by: Director, (current employee), Toronto
Pros: "The company has always taken care of it's employees and always strives to do the right thing. This company always lends an opportunity for development and very willing to let you try new things you'd never otherwise get to in other companies."
Cons: "Small company, limited availability for senior roles in certain disciplines, although, that will change."
Advice to senior management: "Find a way to keep the culture."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
7. Suncor, Calgary, Alberta
Rating: 4.0
Recent review by: Project manager (current employee), Calgary, Alberta
Pros: "Suncor provides limitless opportunities to learn and tremendous leverage to define one's role and grow in one's career. This does not mean only promotion in ranks/titles necessarily, but the personal journey to become the best or indispensable in one's chosen field."
Cons: "Performance review and succession planning processes, although well defined, are not employed consistently and may not have good transparency. This can be unfair to many good performers who are not proficient in organizational politics."
Advice to senior management: "Stop making so many and frequent organizational changes. Once an orgnaizational or operating model has been established, give it some time to work before jumping on to the next."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
6. Booz & Company, New York City
Rating: 4.0
Recent review by: Principal, (urrent employee), Location unknown
Pros: "Top-notch people, access to the best leaders in industry, ability to be very entrepreneurial, willingness to advance early on performance, deep functional expertise in addition to superstar MBAs."
Cons: "Very relationship-based, sometimes hard for people to fit into our culture easily."
5. Edelman, Chicago
Rating: 4.1
Recent review by: Vice president (current employee), San Mateo, Calif.
Pros: "Really smart, creative people and plentiful opportunities to develop and build a career, large, global network with many practices areas, high quality of work."
Cons: "Probably not the best place for people who need hand holding or can't keep up with the quick pace."
Advice to senior management: "Continue to open up work life balance working options to support your hard working people."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
4. Guidewire, Foster City, Calif.
Rating: 4.4
Recent review by: Worldwide recruitment business partner (current employee), Foster City, Calif.
Pros: "Teamwork—low politics—great bosses who support you—opportunity. A supportive environment where you can push the envelope and if you fail, it is a learning opportunity, but you are pushed to the limits. Marcus Ryu and our executive Management team. The people—everyone is someone I would buy lunch for and learn from. Hard work but we work together. And best of all, a REAL product that changes people's lives—our product helps insurance companies process claims in lightning speed—so those who hold policies are paid sooner, get back to their lives in record time, and get great customer service. This isn't vaporware. This is 100% about Customer Satisfaction."
Cons: "Being a smaller company and covering 7+ time zones with 46% of our business outside the US—it is challenging. Incredibly challenging work—there is other company's expectations and pace, and then there is Guidewire's expectations. 150% use of your faculties all the time"
Advice to senior management: "All of our management works as hard or harder than we do, so I never feel like I am asked to do anything that is harder than their load. Keep up the great work. These are the 'good old days.'"
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
3. McKinsey & Co., New York City
Rating: 4.5
Recent review by: Business analyst (former employee), Location unknown
Pros: "Great place to start your career. Amazing training in all the core business functions. Broad exposure to different companies, industries, and functional areas."
Cons: "Work not always meaningful; too often the work product does not lead to meaningful change for the client. Hours & travel can take a toll."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Next
2. Boston Consulting Group, Boston
Rating: 4.5
Recent review by: Principal (current employee), Location unknown
Pros: "Access to business executives. Very strong training program: analytics, presenting, slide writing, managing client relationships. Consistent, 360 feedback culture. Typical 2-year track to move to next level. Rigorous, clear, and common job reviews provided during / after each project. Exposure to many different industries and business functions. Excellent comp and benefits, especially at the lower levels in comparison with similar opportunities."
Cons: "Typically extensive travel. Long hours (always 60 hours+ per week). Many short projects (<5 weeks), which are exhausting "sprints" and often prevent the development of strong client relationships or team bonding. Forced rotation among managers can mean exposure to great managers and poor managers with little to no choice. Rotation among projects & managers requires consistent getting up to speed on managers' styles; may not click and can lead to poor reviews. Some offices have fewer long-term or large clients, forcing a very exhausting, consistent sales culture. Interview process only moderately successful at forecasting employee performance. Verbal focus on work-life balance, but in practice, depends greatly on the client, the type of project, and most importantly your manager. Again, unusual to have <60 hour work weeks, and will generally involve travel. Some offices are very travel heavy, while others have more local work."
1. Bain & Co., Boston
Rating: 4.5
Recent review by: First year consultant (current employee), Chicago
Pros: "The work is engaging and nearly everyone you work with is brilliant. Lots of effort put into personal development and growth. People really care about you, and the atmosphere is more collaborative than competitive."
Cons: "Bain, like all consulting, has highly variable work. Sometimes it's very, very busy, other times it's not. The problem is that planning for it is very difficult. You can rarely commit to things outside of work more than 1-2 days in advance, if at all."
Advice to senior management: "Keep valuing people above everything else, it really shows."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend: "I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company" Back to the beginning
