When Susan Morse started keeping a journal about caring for her highly eccentric mother, she wasn't planning to publish a book. She just wanted to keep her sanity.
A former film and television actress, Morse moved from Los Angeles back to her hometown of Chestnut Hill in 1994, not knowing it would thrust her into the most demanding role of her life. Mother Brigid, as her mother now demanded to be called, had changed religion six times, finally becoming an Orthodox Christian nun at an age when most women take up Bingo, not the veil.
Lucky for us, Morse kept a notebook of her rollercoaster relationship with her admittedly kooky mother, resulting in her hilarious, poignant memoir.
On Wednesday, Jan. 16, Morse will read from The Habit at the Chestnut Hill Hotel and talk about the challenges of being a member of the Sandwich Generation, caring simultaneously for rambunctious teenagers and a terminally ill mother while juggling a career and marriage. Morse spent most of her childhood in Chestnut Hill then moved to New York to pursue an acting career.
While tending bar in Hell's kitchen, an obligatory job for most aspiring actors, she met her husband David and followed him to Los Angeles. While David's star rose as an actor in stage, film and television recurrent roles on "House" and currently HBO's "Treme" Susan found small parts in movies and TV series, including "Murphy Brown" and "The Twilight Zone."
When the 1994 Northridge earthquake hit and their Los Angeles house was destroyed, Susan and David and their three children moved to Chestnut Hill. Susan stopped acting and started editing books, having no ideathat she would end up writing one – least of all, a book about her relationship with her strong-willed mother who, over the years, embraced Roman Catholicism, astrology, transcendental meditation, Silva Mind Control, vitamins and Reiki.
Susan Morse's reading is part of the ongoing monthly Literary Salon hosted by Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment. A wine and cheese reception will follow. Admission is $10 in advance; $12 at the door. Dine at the Chestnut Grill and receive 10% discount on food.
Tickets available at www.chEnrichment.org or 215-248-0180.

DOPs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 423 designs submitted by 44 freelance designers.
Peek a boo | Peekaboo
We are in a process of launching a new brand of baby care products. The range consists of diapers, baby wipes, shampoos and other products.
It is a three phase project. The project starts with launching diapers and baby wipes that could compete with renowned brands like Pampers and Huggies. The brand should be perceived as a good quality brand which is fun and comfortable for kids. It should be perceived as vibrant and playful.
The following are the features of the new diaper brand:
- High absorbency/super dryness
- Anti leak with leak guard
- Witness indicator
- Refastening tapes
- Extra softness for increases comfort
In the first phase of the competition, a LOGO is required for the new diaper brand.
Middle class educated Asian and Middle Eastern mothers and diaper buying decision makers having children aged 0-4 years in the household.
The logo should be text based (and slightly graphical), but primarily typographic (see reference images). The graphics should be kids related with a colorful and playful theme. When the customer looks at the logo, it should immediately click as a baby product. The logo should also suggest 'nurturing, caring, and loving. If there is an animation in the logo, it shouldn't overpower the logo. Also, the logo should be such that it can be used for other baby products in the future like baby wipes, baby shampoo, baby powder etc. The designer needs to keep in mind that the logo is for the entire category and not just the diapers. There will be baby shampoos, wipes and other products in the same category in the future.
Logo should be delivered in:

Today, the state is famous for its beautiful beaches and Carnaval, an annual celebration featuring music, dance and spectacular parades. Many of the Otomí people–one of the region's first inhabitants–still live in Veracruz. The fifth-largest indigenous ethnic group in Mexico, the Otomí are scattered throughout Central Mexico, from Michoacán to Veracruz.

Does anyone who loves houseboating really wait until the weather warms to get excited about getting back on the water? You don't if you're a true houseboating aficionado. You're ready to get going long before the weather changes. So what are your plans for this year? Will you moor in the same lake as always? Maybe you have the perfect spot already, but if you don't, here are some places you might want to investigate.
Lake Shasta
Looking to relax in California? Try Lake Shasta, which is actually formed by several rivers. Travel down one of the three "arms" named after the rivers that flow into it-the Sacramento, McCloud, Squaw or Pit Rivers, and you'll end up at this beautiful lake with plenty to do. This lake is held by the Shasta Dam, which is actually the second largest in the United States following Grand Coulee Dam. You can even take advantage of the daily tours of the dam. This lake is 35 miles long with nearly 370 miles of shoreline and holds enough water at full status for about 5,000 gallons for every person in the country. It's convenient to get to via the waterways or also an easy drive in from Sacramento, San Francisco or even Portland.
More about the three arms of the lake:
The McCloud Arm has beautiful grey rocks towering above the waterway that were actually formed from ocean sediments. If you go this route, you may want to stop at the Holiday Harbor Marina and take some time to tour the Shasta Caverns. You can take a catamaran ride and a bus ride up the mountain before arriving at this underground wonderland.
The most developed arm, and likely the busiest, would be the Sacramento Arm. It ends at Riverview, which is a great old resort site where you will find the lake's only sandy beach. If you cruise upstream, you'll enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Lassen.
The Pit Arm is the longest arm at nearly 30 miles long, but probably not the first choice for boating because of the standing snags of dead trees. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities for fishing, swimming and cruising in the other arms of the lake. You can get a fishing license at most of the lakeside resorts and catch your fill of bass, bluegill, salmon, crappie, catfish and sturgeon.
You can find houseboat rentals at Shasta Lake if you are looking to get away and don't have your own boat. This is a great way to relax and spend some quality vacation time on this lake. You can also enjoy dinner cruises that run from the gift shop at Lake Shasta Caverns on Saturdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day, except on holiday weekends.
Lake Texoma
Ready to try a "Lone Star" getaway? Lake Texoma could fit the bill. If you're looking for great fishing, wonderful marinas and resorts, plenty of natural beauty during the day and entertainment at night, this could be your next destination. It spans the Texas/Oklahoma border about 75 miles north of Dallas and 121 miles south of Oklahoma City. It is one of the most popular destinations in the Southwest.
It promises an interesting time with a string of islands and sandy beaches. In addition to this you'll enjoy the view of wildlife such as bald eagles, which is a popular activity later in the season. There are charter companies here that provide special tours for bald eagle watching in autumn.
It also has to wildlife refuges, two state parks, 54 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-managed parks as well as 26 resorts and hundreds of campgrounds. Not to mention the golf course, Chickasaw Pointe, at the ready.
This lake is ready and waiting for your enjoyment in the early season. From power sailing to houseboating, there is plenty of room for all with the serpentine shape of the lake. You'll enjoy one of the many sheltered coves when you're ready to slow down a bit and relax. It offers houseboat rentals as well as party barges and personal watercrafts.
It's of course a great place to fish, and "striper" may be the word of the day if you test the waters here. It offers professional fishing guide services for everyone from the beginner to the more advanced angler.
This is a great lake with plenty of anchoring points and a vast area for cruising in a houseboat, and there are plenty of marinas available with houseboat rentals.
Lake Lanier
Have you ventured to Lake Lanier, Georgia yet? You may have to add it to your list of rental destinations if you haven't already been there. It boasts 692 beautiful miles of shoreline with parks, picnic areas and campgrounds. It has been called the Crown Jewel of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lakes. It's a popular destination for weekend getaways, day trips and especially extended vacations.
There are many private marinas on the lake, and it's noted for fine black bass fishing. The striped bass, spotted and largemouth bass are popular here too with plenty of trophy fish available for the taking in this deep, highland reservoir.
This lake is a popular camping place, so if you're looking for a spot you can camp at Chestnut Ridge, Van Pugh, Old Federal and Shady Grove.
Hiking at Laurel Ridge Trail, connecting Buford Dam with the South End camping and day use areas is a beautiful way to spend the afternoon. You can enjoy the picturesque scenery of this 3.8 mile loop trail or hike the Buford Dam Trail when you're ready to get off the houseboat for a while.
Lake Lanier is also known for its golfing opportunity as many of the best golf courses in Georgia are close to the lake shores. Emerald Pointe and Renaissance Pine isle are both on Lake Lanier, so don't forget to pack your clubs.
You may want to try the Intracoastal Waterway through the Sunshine State. You can actually start this scenic journey in Norfolk, Va. However, you can stick to cruising Florida with its 380-mile long passage way along the eastern coastline. There is of course plenty of history to enjoy along the way, along with many marinas, beautiful waterfront homes, and variations of busy boating lanes as well as more quiet sections. All but two bridges along the way have a 65-foot clearance, and the two are just barely under 65 feet at 64.5 feet. So clearance isn't likely a problem for most houseboats.
You'll pass Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach resort area. Going south you'll enter the wide St. Johns River on the way to Jacksonville. The ICW cuts across the often heavily-trafficked river and enters a 23.8-mile land-cu, starting at Pablo Creek. Then you'll find the St. Augustine Municipal Marina, where you can stop and visit this interesting city, which includes the restored part of the downtown area and Castillo de San Marcos.
Then you'll head down to Daytona Beach, a more quiet setting with smaller facilities and attractions. There are several marinas in Daytona Beach, which has evolved from a spring break destination to more of a family resort area year round.
Head south to New Smyrna Beach, about the beginning of central Florida proper and also the Indian River. This river is about four miles across at the upper end and then narrows to about 1 ½ miles at the end of the 120-mile journey. At this point you'll find the only unattended opening bridge, which closes automatically for approaching trains with about an eight-minute warning for approaching boats.
You can also see the towering vehicle-assembly building and maybe a rocket as you pass the John. F. Kennedy Space Center. You'll also see the citrus groves along the river that have made it so famous. There are plenty of stops along the way at Titusville, Cocoa, Melbourne, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, and many others. You'll arrive at the Palm Beaches from here, which are the start of southern Florida. There are many marinas along the way with about any service you can imagine. This is a slower area of the trip with several bridges and quite a bit of traffic.
You'll enjoy the beauty of the Palm Beaches and Boca Raton as well as all of the things Miami has to offer as you pass through the middle of downtown. Key Biscayne is the end of this fascinating trip down the east coast.
Lake Murray
Lake Murray, South Carolina is another great destination for adventures in houseboating. In fact, the Lake Murray Marina and Yacht Club is getting a new houseboat rental fleet for 2008, so you'll want to check it out. This could be the perfect place for relaxation for you.
This 78-square mile lake area was actually inhabited by the Catawba and Cherokee Indians. It was then settled by European immigrants of mostly Dutch and German origin. To create the lake itself, over 5,000 inhabitants were relocated before the Saluda Dam was built. This was once the world's largest earthen dam at 1 ½ miles wide and 208 feet high. The lake now provides power for South Carolina's entire Midlands region and boasts all kinds of recreational opportunity from houseboating to even plenty of festivals and events in the area.
If you're ready to get out and do some fishing, this is a great place to be as the bass are aplenty here, and they have been known to be over nine pounds and even upwards of 10. You'll want to be sure to bring your fishing gear if you decide to take a trip to Lake Murray.
You can also enjoy the Dreher Island State Recreation area, and you may want to take a trip out to Lunch Island to see the Purple Martins return to roost for the evening. These trips are occasionally arranged by the park, and you can check at the park office for more details. There is a great variety of wildlife watching opportunity available whether from your houseboat or on land.

Foodie postcards: The Male and Female Characters
He makes coffee:
She makes coffee:
Yes, I know it's sexist and reproducing gender stereotypes. But my Mum for sure agrees with the message. My Dad, you see, does no 'female' housework. I remember him saying that as he has three women in the house, he doesn't need to contribute to the household chores!!! Aaaargh. (To be fair to him, taking the rubbish out, fixing lightbulbs, heating the house & our wood-fire oven, getting the sauna ready, feeding the dogs, cutting the grass/shovelling the snow etc classify as 'male' tasks in our household, so I guess they both work their fair share).
Most importantly, my Dad doesn't cook. Yes, he can make a strong filter coffee, he's quite good in grilling the meat during summer parties, and he can re-heat the food lovingly prepared by my Mum and left in the fridge for my Dad. But that's pretty much all. There are, however, couple of food memories related to my Dad that I maybe should have included in my childhood food memories MEME.
These involve feeding a baby, feeding 2 toddlers and feeding a family. Which I find hilarious. Here they are:
Feeding baby Pille
My sister Merle is one year, 3 months and 6 days younger than me. Which means that in the glorious hot July of 1975, my Dad was left alone with his first-born (alias me) for a while. When my Granny came to check on her son and first grandchild one afternoon, she found me naked, tied to a tree by foot and smeared with chocolate. My Dad, you see, is a car freak - he was a semi-professional rally driver until my early teens. And on that glorious summer day he felt like fiddling with his racing car. Which can be quite tricky when a one-year-old is demanding all your attention. In order to avoid changing nappies and me 'escaping' to neighbouring gardens, he tied me to the tree, strip naked. And kept me oh-so-content by feeding me chocolates (well, Fluff was unheard of in Soviet Estonia). And that's how my granny found me - a happy naked & extremely content baby playing on the grass under the sun. I still love my Dad dearly, so this unconventional babysitting method was fine, I guess:) Though maybe I should blame my chocoholism on him??
Feeding toddlers Pille & Merle
When we were kids, semolina porridge - mannapuder - was a staple breakfast for kids. My Mum wasn't around and Dad decided to cook porridge for us. The right way to make it: bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan, add some semolina, stir and cook for another 7-8 minutes, until semolina has expanded considerably. Season and serve. My Dad had seen my Mum do this, but he didn't know that semolina expands. So he kept pouring semolina into the milk until he was happy with the thickness and consistency. But only then semolina started expanding.
Let me say, it was not a nice fluffy porridge of my Mum, but an inedible stone hard concoction. I guess we ended up eating chocolate again:)
Feeding himself & the kids
Another food memory related to my Dad involves pasta, or makaronid as they're called in Estonian. My Dad likes pasta that has been boiled and then fried in oil or butter with an egg thrown in at the end. But again, he hadn't really focused on the exact process.
He took a box of dried pasta from the cupboard. Heated some oil and butter on the frying pan and threw in the pasta. .................... Yep, he threw the DRIED PASTA into the oil. Not the leftover cold cooked pasta from night before, like my Mum always did. You can guess the rest..
Anyway. My Dad is a lovely man but not exactly a skilled cook. And somehow the above card seemed very appropriate for today. I guess that's why I sent it to them in the first place:)
Palju õnne, kallid emme ja issi!

Hihi, I can imagine how cute and content you've must have looked all covered in chocolate :-)
The postcard was very funny. I hope that your parents will have wonderful anniversary.

Those are really funny stories! My dad's certainly no chef, but with my mother not knowing much about cooking either I guess he had to learn. Nobody ever left me covered in chocolate and tied to a tree, however... :)

Love the stories (especially the one of you tied up to the tree, LOL!) and the card!
Happy anniversary to your parents!

hi pille, fabulously eloquent post...it sounds like quite the childhood you had...as for gender stereotypes, hey! i say there's no smoke without fire...
- 6:15 pm, October 30, 2005
- Pille said...
This is totally unacceptable, but I just realised I never replied to your kind comments. Apologies, and as one says, better late than never!
Dagmar - I bet I was cute indeed. Sadly, no photo-evidence has survived all those year. I guess my dad didn't want anyone to find out about his, well, novel, child-minding methods:)
Melissa - well, even if cooking bug didn't run in your family, you've turned out to be a wonderful cook yourself! Sometimes I think that if my mum had been more adventurous in the kitchen (she's a decent homecook, but that's it), then maybe I would have never began experimenting in the kitchen myself - and that would have been sad..
Spinning Girl - mina tunnen ka saunast pidevalt puudust;( Aga kuna ma kolin peagi Eestisse tagasi, siis saan ka iga nädal - ja soovi korral lausa mitu korda! - saunas käia;)
Paz - thank you:) I thought the story was worth sharing with fellow foodies, because it did involve chocolate!
J - no smoke without fire indeed. At least not in our household:)

[caption id="attachment_1990" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption=" BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, Kansas coach Bill Self listens to a question during Saturday's news conference at the NCAA Midwest Regional at the Edward Jones Done in St. Louis. (Jeff Roberson/AP) "][/caption]
ST. CIALIA treatment, LOUIS — Roy Williams broke a lot of Kansas hearts when he took the head coaching job at North Carolina.

BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, "He said, 'You know what, you're right. You're exactly right.' And I said, 'So you don't think I should take it?' And he told me, 'No, CIALIA for sale, I think if you're scared to follow him, you're right, CIALIA no rx, I don't think you should take it.'"
Self took that as a challenge.
"Basically told me I was soft, which is a good call, because I was being soft, buying CIALIA online over the counter," Self said.
Since then, Buy CIALIA from mexico, Self has averaged close to 30 wins per season in his nine years at the school. The Jayhawks are making their fifth Elite Eight appearance under Self.

"Well, I took over a healthy program, CIALIA used for, " he said. "I think a lot of times when you want to change the culture is when you take over maybe an unhealthy program. There was nothing wrong with our culture, it was great."
Self said the foundation of Kansas is too strong to fail, CIALIA canada, mexico, india. BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, "Coach Williams and his staff had done a remarkable job for the 15 years that they were there," Self said. "Coach (Larry) Brown, his staff did a remarkable job the years before that. Rx free CIALIA, You could go through the list of coaches and everybody's had a pretty good run of success there.
"Hey, Roy Williams, Ted Owens, doses CIALIA work, Dick Harp, Phog Allen, CIALIA pharmacy, Larry Brown, doesn't make any difference, the head coach at Kansas is going to win. And so I just really believed that following a guy like that, CIALIA images, I think could have been hard, but I tried to make it as easy as possible because I was never intimidated by his success."
But with that success comes high expectations. The win total doesn't mean a whole lot unless there's some hardware to go with it, BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER. CIALIA reviews, "When we went to Illinois a few years ago, I believe Illinois won the Big Tem in '84," Self said. "Before that, my CIALIA experience, it was in the '60s. And when we won it back‑to‑back years, Where to buy CIALIA, it was a huge deal. Huge. BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, I mean, coming back from Minnesota, you got four thousand people waiting for you at the airport. Both years. It was a big deal, CIALIA from canada.
"Hey, we win eight in a row here, Buy CIALIA without a prescription, we get a T‑shirt. I mean it's kind of expected, which is OK."
Kansas and North Carolina are among the winningest programs in college basketball, but they've faced off only nine times in their history, CIALIA coupon, and four of those have been in NCAA tournament play.
Self wouldn't mind playing the Tar Heels in a nonconference setting, BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER.
"I think it would be a great game for us, Australia, uk, us, usa, " Self said. "I don't know if Roy would agree with that. I understand why we don't, if we don't, purchase CIALIA for sale. But I certainly think that it would be a great, great series. BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, "Kentucky and North Carolina play. CIALIA steet value, And I guess we're the second, third winningest program of all time, and I think it would be unbelievably good if we could play. Certainly neither place has a hard time selling out, online CIALIA without a prescription, but we could certainly raise the price of season tickets a couple bucks."
Asked if he would be open to a home-and-home series, Williams' response was "No."
Williams said playing at Kansas' Allen Fieldhouse would be "too emotional."
"That's the bottom line, Where can i buy CIALIA online, " Williams said. "When somebody says Allen Fieldhouse to me, that's exactly what I think about, is all those positive thoughts and I don't want to go in there as the coach of the opposing team."
Williams said he was ill on the sideline during Friday's overtime win over Ohio, CIALIA mg.
Williams said he has been diagnosed with benign positional vertigo, but he's also been battling a bad cold.
"I'm a yeller and trying to get information out to my guys, and I don't think they can hear me," Williams said, BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER.

And all of a sudden, I feel this pain in the temples and things start a little dizzy, and I go black for two or three seconds, discount CIALIA. And it happened more often last night than any game that I've ever coached.
"And I think it's directly related to the frustration of not being able to get guys to hear me. BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER, And after the game I had a little headache, not bad. I got something to eat, feel great today. I just wish I would get over this dadgum sore throat is the bottom line."
North Carolina freshman point guard Stilman White was the only one who hadn't picked up his toast before Saturday's team breakfast.
The reason.
"I was kind of into my iPhone game and I was working on a high score, so I had to wait until I finished that round before I could pick my toast up," White said.
The game, called Super Jet Pack, is popular among some of the Heels, BUY CIALIA OVER THE COUNTER.
So who's the best player.
"I don't have an iPhone, so not me," center Tyler Zeller said.
"I think that it's a pretty good game," forward John Henson said. "To be honest, I was playing it before I walked in here. So Stilman's probably a little better than me, but I'm just getting on it.
"I'll take credit for finding the game, so pretty sure I'm the best player," White said.
Does the coach play it.

Jackrabbits Say Goodbye to Talented Seniors With One Final Homestand
Unable to move into a tie with North Dakota State for the top spot in the Summit League last weekend, South Dakota State tries to nail down the conference's number two spot with games against Denver and South Dakota this week.
At Fargo last Saturday, the Jackrabbits looked overwhelmed early, as the Bison had them down 15 points by halftime, and never let them get closer than 10 in the second half to complete the season sweep.
Head coach Scott Nagy says he takes responsibility for the team's slow start in Fargo:
This week starts Thursday with a rematch against Denver, a team SDSU beat in the final seconds on the road last month in Colorado, thanks to some great defense and clutch shooting late.
Even though Denver shot 59 percent in the game, put five players in double figures, and only turned the ball over eight times, the Jacks were able to get the victory thanks to a plus 12 effort on the boards, leading to a 13-point edge in second chance points.
Coach Nagy liked the effort against the Pioneers in the first match-up:
Tipoff is 4:00pm Saturday in Brookings

[R.O. 2009 §2-451; Code 1969 §13-29]
The purpose of this Chapter is to establish rules and procedures governing the procurement of materials, supplies, equipment and services for the City and to maintain a high ethical standard for all officers and employees of the City in connection therewith.
[R.O. 2009 §2-452; Code 1969 §13-30]
The City Clerk/Administrator shall act as the purchasing agent. The purchasing agent shall, in accordance with and subject to the rules, regulations and procedures in this Chapter and all applicable laws and ordinances:
Direct, supervise and be responsible for the procurement and acquisition of all materials, supplies and equipment and all contractual service and all insurance required by any department, agency or office of the City and by any other governmental department, agency or office with respect to any procurement by such department, agency or office funded wholly or partially, either directly or indirectly, by City funds; provided however, the purchasing agent shall not be responsible for contracts for the acquisition of real estate or for professional services, except as provided in this Chapter;
Sell or dispose of all obsolete or unusable personal property of the City.
[R.O. 2009 §2-453; Code 1969 §13-31]
The purchasing agent and every officer, agent and employee of the City are hereby prohibited from soliciting, accepting or agreeing to accept any benefit, directly or indirectly, in return for his/her official vote, opinion, recommendation, judgment, decision, action or exercise of discretion as a public servant in the purchasing process.
[R.O. 2009 §2-454; Code 1969 §13-32]
The purchasing agent is hereby authorized and directed to adopt such written regulations, purchasing records, forms and procedures as may be necessary for the implementation of this Chapter. Any such regulations, records, forms and procedures adopted by the purchasing agent shall become effective within thirty (30) days after submission to the Board of Aldermen unless they are disapproved by the Board of Aldermen within such thirty (30) day period. Copies of such regulations, records, forms and procedures shall be on file at the office of the purchasing agent and shall be available for public inspection.
[R.O. 2009 §2-455; Code 1969 §13-33]
Each agency shall present to the purchasing agent in such manner, at such times and for such periods as the purchasing agent shall prescribe, detailed estimates of its requirements for supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services. Each agency may also present to the purchasing agent at any time a requirement for any materials, supplies, equipment or services for which the need was not foreseen when the agency's detailed estimate was presented. The purchasing agent shall examine each estimate or requirement and he/she shall have the authority to revise it as to quantity, quality or estimated cost after consulting with the head of the using agency.
[R.O. 2009 §2-456; Code 1969 §13-34; Ord. No. 3591 §1, 3-16-1998]
A purchase order or contract in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) shall be issued and become valid only when approved by the Board of Aldermen, who shall have determined that there is a sufficient unencumbered balance in the appropriation account of the using agency to fund such purchase order or contract, except where otherwise provided in the budget.
[R.O. 2009 §2-457; Code 1969 §13-35; Ord. No. 2790 §1, 4-7-1986; Ord. No. 3016 §1, 7-17-1989; Ord. No. 3082 §1, 8-20-1990; Ord. No. 3092 §1, 10-1-1990; Ord. No. 3158 §1, 8-5-1991; Ord. No. 3453 §1, 11-20-1995]
Supplies, materials, equipment, public improvements and contractual services (except for professional services subject to City Code Section 135.120) shall be procured only after obtaining formal written bids when the value of the proposed procurement is in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) or when directed by the Board of Aldermen or when required by the laws of the State. The procurement of several items of the same type at substantially the same time is a single purchase for the purpose of this Chapter and the total cost of all such items will determine whether the formal competitive bidding procedure must be followed. No contract or purchase shall be subdivided to avoid competitive bidding procedures. The procurement of professional services subject to City Code Section 135.120 are expressly excluded from the operation of this Section.
Such bids shall be invited through a notice to be published in at least one (1) local newspaper of general circulation in the City, not less than one (1) time if published in a weekly newspaper or not less than two (2) consecutive issues if published in a daily newspaper. The publication shall be at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified for submission of bids. A public notice shall also be posted in a prominent and public place at the City Hall. Such notice shall include a general description of the item or items to be purchased, the conditions of such purchase, the place where specifications and bid forms may be secured, the time and place for submitting such bids and the time and place for acceptance of bids. The purchasing agent may also solicit bids by mailing copies of the specifications and bidding documents to prospective vendors.
Any and all bids for any contract or purchase may be rejected with or without reason and a provision to this effect shall be included in all notices or advertisements.
The purchasing agent may advertise for sealed bids for any item for which an appropriation has been made in the annual budget of the City or upon resolution of a majority of the members of the Board of Aldermen.
All bids shall be sealed, identified as bids on the envelope and submitted within the time and at the place stated in the public notice inviting bids. The time of receipt of each bid shall be entered by the receiving employee on the envelope containing such bid.
All bid documents will include an insurance clause as follows:
All bids shall include and cover the cost of Workers' Compensation insurance for all employees of the bidder and for all employees of all subcontractors. It is agreed that the successful contractor shall furnish the City with a certificate of insurance from an insurance company with a Best's rating of at least B+/VII or greater if required by the Board of Aldermen, indicating statutory Workers' Compensation coverage and the minimum coverage amounts stated in Subsection (F)(2) of this Section. The policy of insurance shall have endorsed on it a requirement of at least thirty (30) days' written notice mailed to the City indicating any cancellation or material change in coverage. The Board of Aldermen may increase or decrease the minimum coverage amounts on a per project basis.
Minimum coverage amounts.
Automobile combined single limit: $1,000,000.00.
Special items. Per project endorsement.
The contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the municipality and its elected and appointed officials and employees from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including attorneys' fees arising out of or resulting from the performance of the work, provided that any such claim, damage, loss or expense is:
Attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death or to injury to or destruction of tangible property, other than the work itself, including the loss of use resulting therefrom, and
Caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of the contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, regardless of whether or not it is caused in part by a party indemnified under this Chapter.
In any and all claims against the municipality or any of its agents or employees by any employee of the contractor, any subcontractor, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, the indemnification obligation under this Subsection shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the contractor or any subcontractor under Worker's Compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts.
All bids received pursuant to this Section shall be opened and read on the date set for receiving said bids by the City Clerk/Administrator or his/her duly authorized representative in an open public session. The Board of Aldermen will receive tabulated bids at the Board meeting following the time to submit bids has expired. Then the appropriate committee shall in conjunction with purchasing agent and the head of the using agency, prior to the next regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen after the bid time expires, prepare a written summary of all bids, including a review of the facts. All bids received shall be made available for inspection as a public record. Results of the bidding and awarding of contracts shall be posted in a prominent and public place at the City Hall.
After presentation of the available data, the Board of Aldermen, at a regular or special meeting, shall award the contract to the lowest and best, responsible, timely bidder for the goods or services to be procured; provided however, the Board of Aldermen shall have the right and the authority to reject any and all bids. The Board of Aldermen may also confer the right of awarding the bid to the appropriate committee with such committee's action concerning the bid reported back to the full Board at the next regular meeting. The Board of Aldermen shall have authority to give City businesses, having paid taxes for two (2) consecutive years prior to such bid, a preference in its discretion, if the bid of such business is within three percent (3%) of the lowest responsible, timely bidder for the goods or services to be procured.
Subsequent to the award by the Board of Aldermen, the purchasing agent shall, by purchase order or formal contract authorized by ordinance, enter into an agreement with the bidder selected by the Board of Aldermen for procurement of the goods and services to be procured.
When deemed necessary by the purchasing agent, bid deposits may be required. The deposits may be required to be in the form of a certified check or bid bond and may be for an amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or ten percent (10%) of the amount of the bid, whichever is greater. Bonds shall be from a bonding company with a Best's rating of at least B+/VII or greater if required by the Board of Aldermen.
The successful bidder may be required to post a performance bond whenever the same is deemed appropriate by the purchasing agent; provided however, such requirement is set forth in the conditions of bidding. The performance bond may be in the form of a specified amount or a percentage of the value of the proposed purchase and shall be from a bonding company with a Best's rating of at least B+/VII or greater if required by the Board of Aldermen. The purchasing agent shall establish, in the conditions of bidding, such terms as may be deemed appropriate to protect the interest of the City.
All bids shall contain a provision substantially in the form that follows:
"Neither the final payment nor any of the retained percentage shall become due until the contractor shall deliver to the City a complete release of all liens and claims arising out of the contract."
[R.O. 2009 §2-458; Ord. No. 1969 §13-36; Ord. No. 3082 §1, 8-20-1990; Ord. No. 3453 §1, 11-20-1995]
The purchasing agent may, without prior authority, acquire in the open market all goods and services with a value of less than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00). Such acquisition shall be based upon sound procurement principles. Formal bids shall not be required, but whenever practicable, purchases of the value between five hundred dollars ($500.00) and ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) shall be based upon quotations from two (2) or more vendors.
[R.O. 2009 §2-459; Code 1969 §13-37; Ord. No. 3453 §1, 11-20-1995]
The Board of Aldermen may by resolution approve negotiated procurement of goods or services of a value in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) if there have been no responsive bids to an advertisement for bids or if the Board of Aldermen has rejected all bids.
[R.O. 2009 §2-460; Code 1969 §13-38; Ord. No. 3453 §1, 11-20-1995]
The Board of Aldermen may by resolution approve negotiated procurement of goods or services of a value in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) without requiring formal competitive bids if the Board of Aldermen determines from all information submitted to it by the purchasing agent and/or the using agency that such goods or services are of such specialized or non-standard nature that they can be acquired only from a sole source of supply and that no similar standard goods or provider would reasonably satisfy the City's requirements.
[R.O. 2009 §2-461; Code 1969 §13-39]
When professional services in addition to those provided by the City's officers and employees are required by the City, investigation shall be made in the manner directed or approved by the Board of Aldermen concerning persons or companies who perform the required service. On the basis of such investigation, the Board of Aldermen may then by ordinance approve a contract for the required professional service.
[R.O. 2009 §2-462; Code 1969 §13-39-1]
Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this Section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Subsection (A), except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
- Any individual, firm, partnership, corporation, association or other legal entity permitted by law to practice architecture, engineering or land surveying in the State or to provide professional services as described herein.
- Those services within the scope of practice of architecture, engineering or land surveying, as defined by the laws of the State, or those performed by any architect, professional engineer or registered land surveyor in connection with this professional employment or practice. The term "professional services" may also encompass the services provided by planning consultants, accountants, public improvements, tax collections and consultants for all legal, insurance, safety, the City Attorney, the Prosecuting Attorney and other persons or firms providing consulting services, when certain expertise is not available from City Officers and employees.
Roster Of Consultants.
The City Clerk/Administrator will maintain a roster, classified by category of professional service, of qualified firms interested in performing professional services for the City.
Publications by professional organizations which list the qualified firms in a specific field may be incorporated in the roster.
General Procedures And Responsibilities.
Project initiation. When a department of the City identifies a project for which professional services will be necessary, the department will draft a scope of services for the specific project. This scope of services will be submitted to the City Clerk/Administrator for authorization to initiate the project and for submittal to the Board of Aldermen. The scope of services should include the following:
Expressions of interest. After authorization the administering department will contact those firms on the roster and those firms responding to advertisements for a written expression of interest in the specific project. The request should invite comment as to special experience in the project being considered, describe previous experience with similar projects and the availability of the firm to provide required service within any time limitations.
Initial screening and requests for proposals. The expressions of interest will then be presented to the appropriate screening and selection committee for initial screening. Factors to be determined in the initial screening will include:
Specialized experience in the type of work required;
Record of the firm in accomplishing work on other projects in the required time;
Quality of work previously performed by the firm for the City;
Recent experience showing accuracy of cost estimates;
Community relations including evidence of sensitivity to citizen concerns;
Geographic location of the office of the firm which would serve the project.
The screening committee will designate at least three (3) firms who will be requested to present detailed proposals on the project.
Detailed proposals. Firms submitting detailed proposals will be asked to provide the following:
A resume of the firm principal who will be responsible for the project;
A resume of the proposed project supervisor;
Resumes of key project personnel;
A statement of the ability of the firm to meet required time schedules;
A description of how the project would be conducted;
A schedule of hourly rates for various services offered and a proposed project fee range;
A list of municipal references for similar types of projects;
Any other pertinent information the firm wishes to present.
Interview and selection. Upon receipt of the detailed proposals, the selection and screening committee will be convened to review the proposals, interview the prospective firms and make the final selections as to the firm for the project. Written interview and selection criteria utilizing a point system that has been agreed upon by the committee shall be established prior to receiving detailed proposals on a project. The prime factors to be rated in the final screening are the firm's:
Management capabilities;
Technical capabilities;
Approach to the project;
Understanding of City's objectives;
Proposed work schedule;
Staff to be assigned;
Fee and/or schedule of hourly rates;
Knowledge of local situation;
Ability to communicate;
Presentation and attitude;
Confidence factor.
Contract negotiation. The selected firm will then be requested to come in for a final conference with the screening and selection committee to define precisely the scope of service to be provided and to finalize the compensation requirements for the work. A contract is prepared and submitted to the City Clerk/Administrator for presentation to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for approval by ordinance.
If, after reasonable effort, a contract cannot be negotiated, the negotiations with the designated firm shall be terminated and negotiations shall be started with the next firm recommended.
In view of the fact that special conditions will occasionally arise that make use of this policy impractical, there can be exceptions made. Reasons for exceptions may include an emergency situation which precludes a selection time frame of at least two (2) months or an extremely specialized need in which there is only one (1) feasible source of expertise. If it appears there is a need or an exception to the policy, the City Clerk/Administrator will inform the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to allow them the opportunity to deny the exception.
If the number of firms willing and available to perform a specific task is small, the step involving initial screening may be skipped and the selection process will go directly to detailed proposals.
Compensation Or Fee. The amount will include all services to be rendered to the City by the firm, with the exception of certain pass through expenses that will be identified by contract, if applicable, and it will be calculated by one (1) of the following methods, at the preference of the City:
Prohibition Against Contingent Fees.
Each contract entered into by the Board of Aldermen for professional services shall contain a prohibition against contingent fees as follows:
"No firm shall retain a person to solicit or secure a City contract for professional services upon an agreement or understanding for a commission, percentage, brokerage or contingent fee, except for retention of bona fide employees or bona fide established commercial selling agencies for the purpose of securing business."
For the breach or violation of the foregoing provision, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen shall have the right to terminate the agreement without liability and, at its discretion, to deduct from the contract price or otherwise recover the full amount of such fee, commission, percentage, gift or consideration.
Waiver. The Mayor and Board of Aldermen may waive any and all aforementioned procedural requirements in the best interest of the City.
[R.O. 2009 §2-463; Code 1969 §13-40]
Real estate shall only be acquired or sold by the City pursuant to a contract authorized and approved by an ordinance enacted by the Board of Aldermen.

The Board of Aldermen shall then select the agency or company or both to provide required insurance coverage.
[R.O. 2009 §2-466; Code 1969 §13-43]

Mini Reviews (July 2007)
88 Minutes, License to Wed, Come Early Morning, Let It Ride, Gray Matters, Gone, The Contract, The Simpsons Movie, Becoming Jane
88 Minutes (July 2/07)
Shockingly inept from start to finish, 88 Minutes casts Al Pacino as Jack Gramm - a forensic psychiatrist/college professor whose life is thrown into considerable upheaval after a mysterious caller informs him that he only has 88 minutes left to live. There's certainly no shortage of suspects, as virtually everyone in Jack's life seems to want him dead (including his assistant, a few of his students, and even a random secretary). While it's safe to assume that supporting players such as Alicia Witt, Amy Brenneman, and Ben McKenzie were drawn into the production by the prospect of working alongside Pacino, one can't help but wonder what Pacino himself found appealing about the project - as the film remains a baffling and thoroughly frustrating ordeal throughout its egregiously overlong running time. Gary Scott Thompson's remarkably incompetent screenplay is certainly the most overtly troublesome element here, although Jon Avnet's questionable directorial choices (choppy slo-mo? Really?) and Pacino's surprisingly unfocused performance are equally deserving of derision. The conclusion - in which the would-be killer's inexplicable identity is revealed - is nothing short of laughable, and 88 Minutes ultimately establishes itself as a low-point in Pacino's otherwise solid body of work.
out of
License to Wed, much like the recent Jennifer Lopez comedy Monster-in-Law, initially establishes itself as a cute (if entirely predictable) romcom and quickly devolves into a grating, nigh unwatchable piece of work. And while stars John Krasinski and Mandy Moore are affable and cute together, screenwriters Kim Barker, Tim Rasmussen, and Vince Di Meglio prove to be entirely incapable of placing the pair into a single situation that feels even remotely authentic. Instead, the scripters offer up a relentless series of distinctly unfunny vignettes revolving primarily around Robin Williams' expectedly over-the-top shenanigans. The inherently flawed premise casts Williams as a deranged reverend who subjects Krasinski's Ben and Moore's Sadie to an intrusive and flat-out absurd marriage preparation course, in which the couple is forced to participate in one eye-rollingly ludicrous exercise after another. That the entire film is essentially predicated on Sadie's insistence on going through with the course - despite the fact that no rational person would ever agree to do so - is certainly License to Wed's most overt failing, and there's consequently never the feeling that these characters could exist anywhere but in an idiotic romantic comedy such as this. That the third act is devoted primarily to the anticipated fake break-up is the least of the movie's problems, as License to Wed ultimately has the dubious distinction of actually being a far more interminable romcom than Moore's previous effort (the intolerable yet comparatively accomplished Because I Said So).
The directorial debut of actress Joey Lauren Adams (who also wrote the screenplay), Come Early Morning follows 30-something Lucy Fowler (Ashley Judd) as she attempts to get her life back on track after years of engaging in meaningless one-night stands. With its exceedingly slow pace and plot-free structure, Come Early Morning will never be mistaken for anything other than a laid-back character study - yet there's no denying that the film is, for the most part, an intriguing and thoroughly compelling piece of work. Judd surely deserves the lion's share of kudos for the movie's success, as the actress delivers a performance that's heartbreakingly complex (in her hands, Lucy - as sympathetic a figure as there ever was - manages to come off as tough-as-nails in one scene and achingly vulnerable in the next). Adams' willingness to allow the story to unfold deliberately - coupled with her ear for natural dialogue - lends the proceedings an unmistakable vibe of authenticity, although there's also no denying that the movie is occasionally just a little too meandering for its own good. The inclusion of a few overtly predictable elements - ie the trajectory of Lucy's relationship with Jeffrey Donovan's seemingly down-to-earth Cal Percell - can't quite derail what is otherwise an impressive first effort, and it seems certain that Adams is destined to move onto bigger and better things.
Low-key and forgettable, Let It Ride casts Richard Dreyfuss as Jay Trotter - a gambling addict who shocks himself and his friends as he embarks on a spectacular winning streak one afternoon at a local racetrack. Director Joe Pytka - working from Nancy Dowd's screenplay - has infused Let It Ride with a muddy visual style that only compounds the film's various problems, while Dreyfuss delivers an almost absurdly over-the-top performance (the actor spends much of the movie with his energy level cranked to 11, even during scenes that practically demand a more subdued approach). The inclusion of a few admittedly effective sequences - ie a surprisingly tense moment in which Trotter awaits the results of a photo finish - ensures that the film maintains a relatively amiable vibe throughout, but Let It Ride is ultimately the sort of movie that disappears from one's memory minutes after it ends.
Though infused with a number of personable performances and a few genuinely funny bits of comedy, Gray Matters is ultimately unable to sustain the energy and effectiveness of its opening half hour - with the end result a romantic comedy that generally feels like a prolonged episode of a forgettable sitcom. Heather Graham and Thomas Cavanagh star as Gray and Sam, a pair of exceedingly close siblings whose relationship is put to the test after Sam meets (and proposes to) a beautiful zoologist (Bridget Moynahan's Charlie). Complications ensue after Gray realizes that she is also attracted to Charlie, despite the fact that she is not - to the best of her knowledge - a homosexual. First-time filmmaker Sue Kramer initially does a nice job of peppering the proceedings with appropriately light-hearted elements, ensuring that - for a while, anyway - the film's thinly-drawn characters are placed into relatively intriguing situations. Graham's open, likeable performance certainly goes a long way towards allaying some of the more overt deficiencies within Kramer's script, though there does come a point at which the film's increasingly predictable and flat-out silly shenanigans become impossible to overlook. The inclusion of one or two genuinely poignant moments towards the finale - ie a scene that finds Gray slowly realizing the consequences of her newfound sexuality - temporarily elevates things, yet it's ultimately impossible to view Gray Matters as anything other than an amiable misfire.
Featuring a trio of admittedly impressive performances, Gone nevertheless suffers from an egregiously laid-back pace that ultimately negates its few positive attributes - as one can't help but wish that director Ringan Ledwidge would just get on with it already. The story follows British couple Alex (Shaun Evans) and Sophie (Amelia Warner) as they encounter a mysterious American (Scott Mechlowicz's Taylor) while vacationing in Australia, though it's not long before Taylor's friendly demeanor is replaced by something far more sinister. One of the more overt failings within Andrew Upton and James Watkins' screenplay is their reluctance to genuinely spell out Taylor's malevolent modus operandi, as the character seems to do this sort of thing quite often (judging from his weird and extensive collection of Polaroid photos) - yet, by the time the credits roll, the viewer hasn't the slightest clue as to why he's done the things he's done. That Alex seems uneasy with Taylor right from the get-go certainly doesn't help matters (ie why doesn't he ditch the guy right away), and there's little doubt that the film's various problems are exacerbated by an excessively meandering opening hour. And while the violent third act is undeniably quite thrilling, there's simply no overlooking the painfully deliberate build-up (Mechlowicz does a superb job of stepping into the shoes of a flat-out evil character, though).
Starring John Cusack and Morgan Freeman, The Contract is a sporadically intriguing yet thoroughly mediocre thriller that never quite manages to shed its straight-to-video status (despite the fact that, presumably, it was shot with an eye towards a theatrical release). Though better acted and more impressive visually than its DTV brethren, the film does suffer from many of the same problems that tend to plague movies of this ilk - including conspicuous gaps in logic, subpar supporting performances, and an overridingly rushed atmosphere. The seemingly foolproof premise revolves around a father and son (Cusack's Ray and Jamie Anderson's Chris) who encounter a handcuffed assassin (Freeman's Frank) while on a fishing trip, and their subsequent efforts to avoid Frank's heavily-armed minions and safely bring him to the authorities. It goes without saying that The Contract works best during scenes in which Freeman and Cusack share the screen, as both actors step into the shoes of their respective characters with expected ease (Freeman is particularly effective as the charming yet strangely pragmatic villain). Problems emerge as screenwriters Stephen Katz and John Darrouzet pepper the proceedings with an inordinate amount of needless subplots and supporting characters, with the Cusack and Freeman storyline increasingly relegated to the sidelines (honestly, who cares about the dirty FBI agent hot on Frank's tail?) The rough-around-the-edges becomes impossible to overlook as the film progresses, and although there are a few admittedly thrilling sequences (ie Cusack's Ray beats a baddie to death with his bare hands), The Contract is ultimately an ineffective and entirely forgettable piece of work.
Though the quality of The Simpsons has been declining steadily for the past decade or so, The Simpsons Movie generally manages to capture the energy and charm of the show's best moments - ensuring that even the series' most rabid detractors will find something worth embracing here. The film - which revolves around a calamatous event that occurs within Springfield after Dan Castellaneta's Homer pulls an expectedly massive blunder - kicks off with a series of short-but-sweet vignettes in which the various characters engage in enjoyably silly bits of business, including Bart's naked skateboard ride around town and Homer's newfound friendship with an adorable pig. Such antics eventually give way to the film's frenetic central storyline, and while it does possess a number of genuinely compelling moments (including one of the most unabashedly sentimental sequences in the show's history), there's ultimately no denying that the movie fares best in its earlier, more freewheeling scenes. Still, it's impossible not to be won over by the film - it's Simpsons, after all - and the film does a surprisingly effective job of essentially living up to almost two decades worth of expectations (even if it does, at times, just feel like a feature-length episode of the show).
Though it's certainly possible to envision an effective film being made of Jane Austen's early years, Becoming Jane drops the ball almost immediately by emphasizing some seriously hackneyed plot twists and an overall atmosphere of predictability (ie some of this stuff wouldn't seem too out of place in a Disney Channel movie). The movie - which follows Anne Hathaway's Jane as she struggles to complete Pride & Prejudice and resist a growing attraction to scrappy Irishman Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy) - hits every beat that one might've anticipated from such a premise, with the eye-rollingly obvious trajectory of Jane and Tom's relationship easily the most apt example of this (ie he's a bare-knuckle boxer who hates books and she's a cultured novelist with exquisite manners; will they overcome their differences? Three guesses, and the first two don't count). Director Julian Jarrold's efforts to infuse the proceedings with a playful, light-hearted vibe prove fruitless, as Kevin Hood and Sarah Williams' script suffers from an unfocused sensibility that ultimately ensures that the whole thing comes off as an interminable and thoroughly pointless ordeal (the inclusion of several false endings, when one just wants the thing to finish already, certainly doesn't help matters). The performances are fine - Hathaway and McAvoy are convincing, while supporting players such as James Cromwell, Maggie Smith, and Julie Walters offer a temporary respite from the film's relentlessly dull storyline - and the visuals (courtesy of cinematographer Eigil Bryld) are admittedly impressive, but Becoming Jane nevertheless remains a toothless, entirely bland effort for the majority of its oppressively overlong running time.

As per the latest financial reports, it is found that financial services account for 10% of the UK's economy. Now with the debate over whether or not Britain should stay in European Union, it is important to understand that how Brexit affect finances of an individual along with the economy of this country.
Well, the news of Britain's exit from European Union has already resulted in turmoil in the UK's financial market. The result was- pound hit its worse value (in last 30 years) and FTSE dropped more than 8%. Although it is evident that Britain is going to be a part of European Union for next two years, but still this decision will distress finances of British people in a straightforward way. Let's discuss how.
Income and job
As the decision (to exit EU) has resulted in weakening of pounds, it also adversely affected financial industry and now it also has deep impacts on UK's job sector. Most of the experts out in the financial market have been strangely constant in forecasting that the growth of UK is likely to be low outside European Union.
Most of the businesses may put off in investing in machinery, plants, jobs, etc., as they don't want uncertainty in their business. This means that the professions and its remunerations will be lesser than that might else have been.
Pensions and savings
The stock market of the UK is going to be volatile for pretty long as financial market and other firms need some time to respond to scenario. It is also evident that anyone who is planning to take revenue via draw down or who just has retired has to make a tough choice and it is either running out of withdrawal reserves or drawing less income. On the other hand, due to consumer prices, interest rates may also go higher.
The power of pound in pocket
It seems that the execution of Brexit decision will bring some real turmoil and uncertainty in Britain's financial market and thus it will badly hit finances of an individual. The latest reports suggest that British pound fell 7% against Euro and 10% against US dollar on foreign exchange market.
If this remains same or if there is a slight increase in the statistics then peoples out in Britain have to pay more for the goods which they are importing like oil, petrol, luxurious cars, clothing, etc. Also if they plan any holiday in forthcoming months then then have to pay more as the value of pound have declined.
Mortgage and your home
As per the prediction of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), price of houses in the UK can observe huge drop out after the execution of project-Brexit. So, it is a matter of deep concern if you are one of them to have your own home. But, it could be fascinating news for the younger peoples who have been trying hard to get their own home.
On another hand, while savers would be expecting a rise in interest rates, it may also result in increased mortgage repayments for debtors. Along with that, it may also elicit retrievals.
So, these are some of the ways through which Brexit can affect the finances of an individual in the United Kingdom.

My inspiration for what to bake this week came from my current reading material. I am reading "In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies", which is book six in the series of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. I love the escapism of these novels set in Botswana and the wry humour. I also love the numerous mentions of cake, much adored by the "traditionally built" heroine Precious Ramotswe.
Mma Potokwani is a formidable woman who runs the orphanage. She is known for using her cunning and persistence to get local people and businesses to provide help and services for free. If ever she cuts someone a large slice of fruitcake they know she is about to make an unpalatable request of them, but the fruitcake is so good they cannot resist.
I'm not a huge fan of the heavy fruitcakes served up as Christmas or celebration cakes. I love raisins and sultanas and this fruitcake caught my eye because of the addition of pineapple….lots of pineapple. Pineapple upside down cakes are cropping up all over the blogosphere at the moment; I adore them but have already blogged about one . This cake sated both my pineapple needs and my need to emulate all the wonderful characters I've been reading about!
This was the passage I read on the train, during my daily commute, that made me want to make a fruitcake more than anything else this week:
[Mma Potokwani muses that] 'Maybe there are people who would say that I eat too much cake.'
'But you do not eat too much, do you?' observed Mma Ramotswe.
Mma Potokwani's response came quickly. 'No, I do not. I do not eat too much cake,' She paused and looked wistfully at her now emptying plate. 'Sometimes I would like to eat too much cake. That is certainly true. Sometimes I am tempted.'
Mma Ramotswe sighed. 'We are all tempted, Mma. We are all tempted when it comes to cake.'
'That is true,' said Mma Potokwani sadly. 'There are many temptations in the life, but cake is probably one of the biggest of them.'
Later, when they have both finished their cake:
'Temptation is very difficult,' said Mma Ramotswe quietly. 'I do not always resist it. I am not a strong woman in that respect.'
'I am glad you said that,' said Mma Potokwani. 'I am not strong either. For example, right at the moment, I am thinking of cake.'
'And so am I,' confessed Mma Ramotswe.
Mma Potokwani stood up and shouted to the girl outside. 'Two more pieces of cake, please. Two big slices.'
Two women after my own heart!
Pineapple fruit cake is fantastic! The tropical smell of the pineapple simmering on the hob all mixed in with the sweet dried fruit and toffee-like brown sugar was heavenly. The pineapple chunks and juice produce a super moist cake that will keep for days....unless you have Mma Ramotswe and Mma Potokwani round for tea!
The texture was definitely at the lighter end of the fruitcake scale; I'd say it was halfway between a rock bun and fruitcake.
One thing I would add – make sure you give yourself enough time to make this cake. Normally one just looks at the cooking time and adds a few minutes prep time on and that will suffice. This cake is simple to make but you have to bring the ingredients to the boil, simmer for 10 minutes then leave to cool before adding the flour. I'd allow about an hour on top of the cooking time for these additional stages. Here are the fruits after simmering away and plumping up with pineapple juice:
185g soft brown sugar (I used dark brown but light brown would work too)
375g mixed dried fruit and peel (I used sultanas and raisins)
125g glace cherries, chopped (I didn't fancy these so added more sultanas)
125g unsalted butter, diced into cubes
185g pineapple chunks (fresh or tinned, I used tinned)
185ml pineapple juice
2 eggs, beaten
250g self raising flour
Preheat the oven to 170˚C/fan oven 150˚C/325˚F/Gas mark 3.
Line a 20cm springform round tin with baking paper.
Place all the ingredients except for the eggs and flour into a large saucepan and mix.
Gently bring to the boil then, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Leave to cool.
Add the beaten eggs and flour and mix thoroughly.
Spoon into the prepared cake tin and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 1 ½ hours or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine took exactly 1 ½ hours.
Place the tin on a cooling rack and leave until you can safely handle the tin.
Remove the cake from the tin and leave to cool completely on the wire rack.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

- United States Grand Prix
Red Bull anger aimed at Karthikeyan
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Narain Karthikeyan
- |
- Sebastian Vettel
Sebastian Vettel said he was "unhappy" to get held up by a backmarker - something which he believed cost him victory in the United States Grand Prix - but the Red Bull technical boss Adrian Newey gave a blunter assessment.
Lewis Hamilton pressurised Vettel for nearly the whole race, and on lap 42 he took the lead using DRS after Vettel was caught behind the HRT of Narain Karthikeyan in the opening sector. Vettel said that there was no real way for Hamilton to pass without that incident as both cars were equally matched, and that he then could not find a way of regaining the position.
"I wasn't too happy to send a nice big invitation to Lewis when I obviously had to go through Karthikeyan and he was basically right behind at the DRS zone," Vettel said. "I tried to defend, I moved to the inside but I knew that he would have so much more speed that he can pick either side, so it didn't really matter what I was doing and after that, I was obviously not too happy, because on all the laps before I tried to manage the gap to him, tried to manage the tyres until the end of the race, to be able to attack towards the last couple of laps."
Vettel could be heard on the radio shouting his frustration. "[The message] was not targeted at Lewis, it was more targeted at the backmarker which, as I said, gave a nice big envelope with an invitation to Lewis."
Newey did not mince his words. "Karthikeyan has been the bane of our lives this year," he said. "He cost Sebastian points in Malaysia and he did so again here."
Karthikeyan said such criticisms were unfair: "It's impossible to get out of the way in that part of the track unless we drive off the circuit. Once I was through there, I let him past and he overtook me at the exit of Turn 7 into 8. You cannot go anywhere else and it's impossible to get out of the way before.
"You tell me where we can drive off the track? If he complains, it's too bad."

I realized I haven't made a post in awhile just showing you guys what I've made recently.
Lately I've been obsessed with these coral, chevron and spike beads. When I sit down to make earrings, my hands go to those materials first. I'm going to be in a coral rut soon, lol.
Next purchase on my list: turquoise spikes !
I usually don't make the same earring twice, but for these I made an exception because I had some gold/black chain.
Actually, I lied, because I made doubles of these too because of the chain, haha. I have the same chain in pink but I have yet to think of any design using it.
I think I like the black chain more because of the contrast, but because my hair is so dark, I think the white pairs will look better on me.
These spikes are actually from a necklace I bought offline and then took apart. There are many different lengths; since these are long I thought they would be a good focal bead. The shorter ones I use as accents (as seen above).
I love the look of white, gold and blue.
I personally think gold looks better on me, so I tend to make more gold pieces. For this collection, I'm honestly using gold because the chain has gold in it. I wish there was white/silver or black/silver chain. I have yet to find any!
Thank you for viewing!

LOS ANGELES The Primetime Emmy awards wrapped Sunday night at the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live. And afterward, the swirl of activity on the party landscape looked a bit different this year, with major player Entertainment Tonight sitting this year out. Still, high-profile hosts returned, including HBO at the Pacific Design Center, and of course the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' own Governors Ball at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Naturally, they provided eye-catching decor for the celebratory night.
Earlier in the week, Variety and Women in Film hosted a pre-Emmy party at the Montage's Scarpetta, honoring female nominees. Entertainment Weekly and L'Oréal hosted a bash Friday at Fig & Olive. Kicking things off even earlier were Audi and Derek Lam, which took over Cecconi's for a third annual bash a full week ahead of the awards.
And there were so many more. Here's a look inside Emmy week's big parties, suites, and events.

Why do people list something at that price and not include a base shot???!!!
When I first answered the question, I looked at the broader view of Murano-like glass.
I generally find that they do so because the bottom shot will reveal more than they care to have revealed..... highly polished with no base wear, cloudy with an Asian influence.....
