Let's meet two smart ladies, Grace and her best friend Anna. Both 25, they've begun working after college and Grace earns $45,000/year while Anna is hitting it out of the park earning $65,000/year. Grace and Anna have a lot of fun together especially when they're shopping. But recently, Anna noticed that Grace is less fun and doesn't want to shop like she used to. Neither knows what the other one earns or spends but we do. We can see that Grace spends $2,000/month and lives with an older sister, while Anna spends $4,000/month and carries a balance on one of her department store cards. They've each talked about saving more but only Grace has actually begun to do so. She manages to save 20% of her gross income or $750/month. Anna says she'll start saving in a few years when she hopes to earn even more. Grace misses having new things and shopping with Anna but she has seen her parents struggle with not having saved enough and doesn't want that experience.
Fast forward to 2020 and Anna is now earning $78,000 while Grace has improved her earnings to $55,000. Anna doesn't have any savings but is willing to start. Grace has consistently saved $750/month for the last five years, earned an average of 7% on her invested savings and now has $53,699 in savings.

Luggage Allowance
Hubby and I have a 11 night Alaskan Cruisetour booked for August 8 on Radiance of the Seas. I read somewhere that the luggage allowance on the land portion is limited. I can't seem to find that now... so could someone please elaborate on this if this is true. Packing for this is going to be a challenge anyway with all the different weather types and this will just add to the challenge if we don't get all our luggage.
Thanks!! |
We just received our cruise documents today as we are taking a cruise tour of Alaska in May. And the following was attached:
Baggage Storage As a convenience to our guests, we offer a service to store luggage while you are on the land portion of your cruise tour. Your Tour Director will outfit you with special tags to indicate storage, and subsequently, those pieces of luggage will remain secured on the motor coach for the length of the land portion of your trip. If you would like to take advantage of this service, we encourage you to pack accordingly. So it seems you can take more than 1 suitcase apiece, but they will store extra in bus for you on the ship, but not have available on the land portion |
I believe the standard is two suitcases/per person and not exceeding 50 pounds.
Take care, Mike |
Thanks!! I think I can do that...
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 07:18 PM. |

I'll try this again and see if it will allow me to post comments this time.
Here is a pdf of my character set:
I'll try this again and see if it will allow me to post comments this time.
Here is a pdf of my character set:
It's great to see a face this fat with a design that doesn't feel dated. Most faces I see in this category, regardless of how new they are, scream of some past era, usually in the vein of late 70s-early 80s arcade cabinet letting.
There's something about the dots on i and ! that distract me every time I see this face. I don't see a similar juxtaposition of squared and rounded corners in the letters, so I just can't keep my eyes off of the dots. In the second same, the strings of majuscules without round corners look like they're part of a different font than the minuscules. Being really nitpicky, the horizontal part of the counter in e looks wider than all of the other counters, which appear to be the same size.
This might be one of those faces that would benefit from a unicase style. When it is smaller I don't mind it in two lines, but when it is bigger and the line length is so short the descenders seem to break the text up too much.
Fat Squeeze looks pretty well thought out. The y is an especially nice (and unique) touch for this genre. The left side join looks a little week though. maybe a more abrupt curve in to add weight? The W used he same solution, but less succesfully for me. What if the two counters angled the same way instead of both pulling to the center (more like 2 V's)?
The dot on the i and explamation seems out of place. Seems like it should be either a rectangular, or rounded rectangular, or fully rounded.
I also wonder if the cap height shouldn't be the same as the assenders for something like this which will be used 100% (hopefully) in display settings. I'd lower the ascenders rather than raising the caps.
The trouble with dense and tight fonts like this (to me at least) is the varying density inherent in roman letters. Some letters present a very dense presence like the HIME, but letters like T and L break that up and look weak. It's a constant battle between desity and conistency.
What do the A. Xx and Jj look like?
I second James: fat but fresh! very nice. I want to see the whole alphabet for critique.
I wonder if the M doesn't need some rounded corners to match the ideas in the others...
I had been wondering for months what it was that bugged me about this and I think I finally figured it out. These glyphs seem just a little too simplified. They have been denuded of some small details that would help you to identify glyphs more rapidly despite heir enormous girth. Let begin with a positive example : the lc t retains it's tail. That makes the letter for me. The z too has great detail & feeling. But the lc a in contrast seems to me to be in need of a notch cut out of it so it can have a tail again too. Similar things might be done to the u & n. It may be that this kind of thing is besides the point or takes you in a direction you don't want; in which case that's fine. But that's what occurs to me. Add in some small identifying detail to joust with the mechanical/modular heaviness.
Thanks everyone! Here are some j with case punctuation positioning. More to come!
That N is a clever solution, but can you find ways to use it elsewhere?
Edit: I also wonder if they aren't a little too long.
I think the N works better as a Z where it works admirably.
What is the Ae like with the center 'bar' more narrow or the outer elements more narrow? The eth's top should bend more maybe. Can the scoss bar on it be horizontal? What if the f had a slightly longer crossbar - more like the t perhaps? The umlaut is sweet! It feels 'just so' to me.
It's so refreshing to see a fat face that doesn't look all squishy and bloated.
I think the lower case letters are pretty much all home runs. The only ones I would question are the k and x. I would like to see them in text.
The diagonals are the most difficult thing to deal with here. I like your solutions on the VWY.
For me the most problematic letters are the KMN. The K isn't bad, but isn't as great as the others. The M looks awkward. I think part of the problem is that the middle stroke is thicker than the two outside ones. Maybe try making this thinner, rather than thicker, if you haven't already tried this. The N doesn't work, whereas the Z does. As Tiffany said, maybe with shorter cut in strokes?
Have you considered also rounding the outside corners of the spurs on the EFT? The top inside corners on the M?
The 1 needs a new solution; it looks out of place. Should the right stroke on the 4 go to the top? Should the spur on the 7 be bigger?
Great Work!
"something about the dots on i and ! that distract me every time I see this face. I don't see a similar juxtaposition of squared and rounded corners in the letters"
James, look at the u and n--even better next to each other. Much of the lower case (see i m q r h, etc.) has this theme of a curve corner and a sharp corner.
This was my building concept, mixing soft and hard with very linear counters the sharpest feature. I was trying to find a way to make it a current design that was not just another old one--thanks, Edward (Spire) and James, for noticing exactly what I was doing!
The M and N were always my problem children! I will revisit them.
PS: William, I tried rounding the spurs you mentioned before and they look too serif like and foreign to the rest--Thanks for your kind words!
Randy, Thanks!
Great points. I have been fighting with those very issues and keep coming back to this solution. The vacant spots caused by L, T and J are not ever going to go away with an extreme weight like this. Since it is only display, I have just decidedto let these negative spaces speak and be a contrast to the rest. Small quantities of words will be set in this so textual color hopefully will be a minimum issue so that mass and impact can prevail.
I will take a revisit to the left of the y as well!
"The eth's top should bend more maybe. Can the scoss bar on it be horizontal?"
Eben, I thought as you about this until last year when I talked to an Icelandic graphic designer. He told me most people bend the eth way too much and had me change Froggy, Boulder, and Now to be straighter. I will try to find his post for you. It was quite enlightening for non-Icelanders.
Thanks Chris!
Here is a try at a few more M caps. Number 5 was the original:
Here is a try with Randy's suggested change to W to match V and y with bigger cuve on left:
I think Randy had 2 very good ideas there!
I was just reading the discussion of the i dot. I kind of like your asymmetry, but maybe it would work better if it were flipped as in a mirror, so the points were bottom left and top right. The dots in some italics are stretched this way, so the eye might accept it as more natural.
Willliam, believe me, I tried every permutation. This way suits the rest most. It is different, true, and will take some getting used to but I am willing to gamble on that.
With the dots flipped as you say, the i looks soft on both sides with 2 curves on the left, flip the i and you buck another convention of exit strokes. :-)
Hoy vey! :-)
"I also wonder if they aren't a little too long."
What is too long, Tiff?
PS: Did you leave TypeCon a day early? I missed saying goodbye to both of you.
I'm not getting used to the dots :-)
the z: why are the arms angled? Seems like flat is more in keeping.
NMZ: I think you have to be careful about this. If you use it too much, the overlapping tight counters will become the schtick for the face. I don't think you want that. Your original M is best.
Have you tried the middle crossbar on the E as thin as the top and bottom?
Can you do all the glyphs you have in a pdf?
The dots as they are don't bother me, but I thought it was worth trying alternatives, as you already did.
I think Tiffany was talking about how far the cuts slice into the stem of the N. The idea I think was to make them less deep.
On your new M's, #2 seems to work with the rest of the face best. But I still worry about those diagonal cuts on the new M's and N being a little out of character with the rest of the face, and thus distracting.
I would try thinning the diagonal of the N and having no cut, and thinning the middle stroke of the original M--you'd probably have to adjust the depth of the 'v' cut at the top, too. Another way would be to go with #2 and shorten the diagonal cuts in both. Wow, the M and N are tough!
Randy's y idea is a definite improvement. I'm not sure about the W--did you also try the bottom of both cuts falling from the center to the outside, paralleling the notch at the bottom?
I don't agree with Randy. But I do agree with Bill. 2 seems best to me.
I think it could benefit from some additional modeling/adustment to help your eye to flow over it but it seems quite inspired to me. In fact - I bet shorter cuts would do it and would solve some of Bill's worry too.
I happened to see this cover & it reminded me of this thread so I scanned it for ya just in case it is of any help.
Regarding your M and N test, I like the number 2 variant the best.
Raaawk'n stuff Dezcom!
Reminds me a bit of Jazz Gothic, which I'm currently working with for a poster design. I too like the 'Y'! I agree with dan_reynolds on #2. I like the way you allowed tight/compressed negative space for letter shape - and for itself too.
Any mileage in laying down the strokes of the M and N in order somehow?
Whilst you guys were posting, I was revisiting the M. This last solution made me revisit the N and Z to match. I think this one works best of all. See if you agree?
I like Randy's idea of thinning the middle stroke of the EF. There is something clunky there compared to the rest, and he may have put his finger on it. That's why I was suggesting trying the curves on the outside corners, which you said doesn't work.
When I look at the whole alphabet, the N really stands out as discordant, and the M as clunky. I'm wondering if you don't find another better solution, whether the best thing is to use taller versions of the lower case MN--or at least have them as alternatives. This is the kind of unicase thing Tiffany was suggesting. This would harmonize better than anything so far.
Also the 1 is, how shall I put this, "suffering from E.D." as the television commercials put it ;) The droopy bit I don't think should be there.
By the way I think it is because this is so strong that we are moved to obsess on how you can make it perfect.
edit: Ah, I see you rounded the corners on the M. Good idea :) These are an improvement, but I wonder if the unicase thing isn't still better...
"Have you tried the middle crossbar on the E as thin as the top and bottom?"
Randy, I tried that and they look anemic that way. It really messes up the F as well, which is even more problematic.
Hiroshige , THANKS!
Nick, I don't think that works on the N, it kinda looks forced.
Dan, Bill, and Eben: see if my new M is better than the old #2?
Randy, et al,
Here is a link to a PDF of the whole character set with new changes.
I changed both Z z to be paralel, new # 1 ; new ogonek and cedilla and some other stuff:
Here is a graphic with new Zz and number 1 without "appendage".
What about making the cuts in the W less deep?
I really like the curves in the new M.
Ah, the 1 is happier :) I feel like there's too much white over the right vertical of the 4; maybe pulling it up just slightly would help. The curve above the vertical cut in the 5 looks like it needs smoothing.
As I added to my post above, the new M fits better than the others--and is better balanced. But as I said maybe you want a big lower case m and n as alternative caps anyway, as these I suspect will fit in perfectly, as they do in the lower case.
Have you tried cutting less deeply into the stems of the N particularly? Because of the 45 degree angle on that, it seems more distracting than the angled cuts on the new M, though maybe these need to be less deep also.
I made the W cuts less deep and changed the 1, 4, and 5.
Here is a link to a pdf with character set and a 2nd page with some running text in English and Polish. (The English text is a snip from a paper on marketing I wrote in college eons ago.)
- what if the Cap A had some curve on top and had a less tall apature above the crossbar
- What if the Cap L had some curve on the inside of the base. It also might be slightly wider.
- What if the CAP E was wider?
Here is a pdf with the cuts on the N made steeper, The ogoneks tweaked, the M tweaked and cap positioing for quotes.
@Eben, if the L is wider it makes a big hole above the crossbar, if the E is wider, it gets too dark.
I have an idea about that but I would have to show you - do you mind if I do that? If you do that's fine too. And if that's the case my hint would be the Z. It has characteristics I think I could bring to the E.
BTW the New M is getting really nice. I have a possible tweak to try for that too - what if the angles were sharper & led to a vertical bar for the last 1/4 of the middle?
Maybe the lslash can be pulled in on the right in general or in a small section so that it douesn't touch the u ( 3rd paragraph, 6th line, far right side )
"I would have to show you"
Go right ahead, I would be curious what you have in mind.
"I happened to see this cover & it reminded me of this thread..."
Eben, What is the connection? I think I must be too fogged to see it.
What is the connection?
The very thick verticals in the M The curve in the A. Obviously very different faces - different tone. But it seemed like some of the structural challenges that come from the thick verticals were related. Have a look at the lc s. Anyway. Either it's interesting or it ain't. Either way is fine.
Thanks Eben!
The "A" is too "deco" for my taste, is there an alternate? But the related "W", "V" are working well for me.
Hey, don't take that comment to seriously, I'm just a simple grafic designer :)
BTW, this typeface will be a winner.
Thanks, Poms!
I have tried many A variations and this one gives me the least heartburn as a member of a family.

Wow, this took around 2 months or so to finish. A long time I know, but I've been too occupied with everything shiny sitting around me that I didn't work as consistently on it as I'd hoped. Well, it's finished, so that's all I care about.
I'm so proud of how it's come out. For my first flash movie, I think it's pretty good. Of course, My opinion doesn't matter when it comes to voting. So vote fairly and don't give me any of that n00bish "I7 d1dnt h4ev SN0IC 1N IT" ratings. See ya!
Just pointing it out, awesomemonster, but this song isn't from Naruto. It's MegaMan 2.

Russian UFO researchers revealed that US astronauts encountered UFOs during the expedition to the Moon.
The researchers state that flying objects of extraterrestrial origin were persistently spying on American Apollos. They said the expeditions to the Moon looked very much like a race and presented a film demonstrating a luminous object closely following an American spaceship.
Records of communication between astronauts and the Mission Control Center were also included into the film but they were absolutely inaudible as they had been purposefully jammed by Americans.
They expected that the expeditions would find something astonishing on the Moon and with the view of keeping their communication with the surface secret they encoded their messages to the MCC. When the records of communication were later deciphered it turned out that the US missions came across lunar bases, remains of space vehicles and deserted towns on the Moon.
Russian documentary stated that lunar creatures would not tolerate the presence of Earth dwellers for long. When Americans brought a dummy car to furrow Moon craters, the creatures living on the satellite began to demonstrate their furious protest against the US presence on the Moon.
Filmmakers said that green dwellers of the Moon told Americans to go home as they wanted to keep secret the sublunar bases that they used to observe the life on the Earth. It was alleged that NASA was afraid of conflicting with a highly developed civilization and immediately stopped the program.
In a couple of days, Americans demonstrated their documentary about the Apollo expeditions, In the Shadow of the Moon, with records of the flights to the Moon that were specially processed after the video archives of the Moon program had disappeared. Is it true that the archives were lost? It seems that the CIA wanted to wipe out tracks of a contact between US astronauts and extraterrestrials.
This is strange that films with really important evidence can disappear from NASA. Several years ago, over 100 g of lunar soil and meteorites were stolen from the collection of the Johnson Space Center. And that was not the only incident of the kind there. A former NASA official explained that the unique films had been probably lost after they were several times moved from one place to another within the past forty years.
The NASA official admits that the flights to the Moon were rather a political mission as the USA wanted to gain revenge after the Soviet spaceman Gagarin was the first to enter the space. And the USA spent $150 billion to start the lunar program to demonstrate the power of the American science and engineering. It was a very expensive project that was easily abandoned as soon as financing was stopped.
NASA is going to conduct another mission to the Moon with a spaceship Orion resembling Apollo and stuffed with steroids. It is planned that four astronauts will fly round the Moon in 2018. If the project goes OK a landing module is to land the lunar surface in 2020.
Russia's ambitions as concerning Moon exploration are rather modest. A Russian astronaut may land the planet only as a member of a Chinese-Russian expedition. Chinese researchers are working on this project and invite Russia to participate in it as well.

76. "focus on skills that fewer folks" -- Don't Know About That One
To me, skills based focus is not really good career advice. In-demand skills change all of the time. Your specialty today is obsolete tomorrow, and then no one wants to hire you.
For example, I heard a recruiter tell us a story about FoxPro DBAs were all the rage back in the 90s, and folks who knew it well could ask for whatever rate they wanted. Then the market shifted and those contractors could not get hired. I was a Data Analyst, and like you, I held that same opinion about PMs. However, I've changed over the years, esp. after working for a manager who no real managerial nor PM skills whatsoever, but he was very technically proficient. He would agree to major changes in specs without ever consulting his team. He would hoard information. He never believed in planning which resulted in us doing duplicative work. A good PM/SCRUM master who truly understands the needs of the project, the stakeholders/product owners, and the team can make a huge difference in the success or failure of the project. |

45. Data Mining is basically statistical, that's the bases of the queries that inform ops what's going
on in the network. It's all refining itself as we speak, so the demand for optomization constantly increases the data management challenges, which go under the heading of "change management" in some segments of the milieu.
I worked in Customer Care around BIG operations management packages, with ALL kinds of engineers. If I were young, I'd get a good foundation in statistics and any of the good query languages. The way that the data is "packetized" in networks involves all kinds of hardware/switches and devices with different operational traits all working together. There are many visual tools for displaying all of it, but if you don't understand what feeds them, you can only do just so much, so someone has to also be able to use what they're seeing and construct new queries effectively on the fly, because unlike the kinds of databases most of us are used to, guessing just does NOT get it. Fascinating field! CRAZY professional environments, because of different kinds of stake holders with different levels of understanding and motives and political-financial stuff going on, but I loved it anyway, for the sheer pleasure of seeing it work, BUT, then, I wasn't an engineer and I HAVE seen some of those engineer ladies and gentlemen TRULY suffer. Good managers, with the best understanding possible of the WHOLE effort, can do much good. Good luck, to you, Yavin4, be a good manager! |

55. I'm currently trying to understand data mining more.
I've installed MS's analysis services at my small company. It's really overkill for our business, but I feel compelled to learn about it. I went to a 'practice' interview once, and they said they would have hired me if I'd had more experience with reports, so then I ended up installing business intelligence services on our network. Now I'm finding that I need to start mirroring our database and creating snapshots in order to optimize performance. That means we need two instances of the server. Nothing on the massive scale of what corporations need, but from a small business perspective there's a lot to it. I think the motivation is getting people who understand how the business works and how it can be streamlined. People who understand data mining and business intelligence are taken more seriously than people who just show up for their jobs.

61. There are people who say why bother with all of that, since "everything is in the cloud now", but
to me that only means that you are at the mercy of those who do understand it. My nephews and one of my brothers-in-law did what you are doing for my BIL's law practice, waaaaaay ahead of the curve; worked out rather well for him.
Data mining, devices and switches and stuff, is also the fodder for the whole network security piece. It also stands to reason as optomization gets sharper and sharper, there are going to continually be a points at which one-size-fits-all market advertisers isn't going to work, especially if you have domains that are really doing something different. I think the demand for "granularity"/focus would increase, wouldn't it? It's all so completely scalable that that alone will drive customization, especially if you have a bunch of engineers around who could earn just about whatever they want, but they want to have more control over how many hours they work each week, not 40-50+ hours! |

84. Yes I suppose it is increasing granularity
If you look at business from the perspective of a conduit for work and money, having good BI can increase the flow of business. In theory it should maximize the flow of work through every person in the company. So it might effect granularity spanning from the development of a contract with a billion dollar company to controlling the cost of ink on a piece of paper. Yeah I don't see how that can be done with a one-size-fits all approach.

85. Indeed! All engineers know the difference between what was sold, and what specs are supposed to
describe, and the problems created in business rules that don't fit in all of the right places, all of the way up from the actual switches to the front end.
However, lots of users are going to be okay with the generic packages, but if we're going to break the big molds and actually implement authentically NEW smaller entrepreneurship in all markets, then someone is going to have to commit to optomizing the difference between my sister's custom sewing, by way of analogy, and someone who sees it, takes a photo, rips her work off with a cheaper knock-off, with way less craftsmanship, which does better on the internet, because the photo of the knock-off is just as good and both products are being optomised by the same algorithms, presenting the same sub-grouping criteria (often in the left-most column) A big part of the response to this problem, at present, is customer reviews, but: 1. I don't want to have to take the time to read a bunch of reviews; 2. I don't know whether the reviewers and I share the same standards for whatever the product is anyway. 3. When you're looking at links for about 300 women's tunics some of us just get frustrated and don't buy anything and that doesn't even consider the costs of buying the wrong things and having to refund, or just throwing it somewhere and not buying from that merchant, or on the internet, again. If there were more control over H1Bs and no tax-benefits for exporting jobs/importing workers, don't you think engineers could be in an advantageous situation now? . . . because the demand for quality engineering is so high, engineers could consider types of compensation that are not limited to a paycheck. I imagine there are plenty of people who'd work for less for certain reasons: time flexing, or less than 40 hrs a week, job sharing, profit sharing, health care, education, more collaboration, creative input . . . . If American tech jobs were better protected, don't you think that tech scalability compared to real market pressures for customization/granularity/focus could result in some value implementation options that would motivate changes which could add up to as much freedom as possible for as many people as possible? Sounds co-operative, doesn't it, I guess that's part of what I'm thinking: smaller independent server farms, serving limited very specific kinds of markets for more collaborative value outcomes. |

the actual living markets, which causes quite a bit of churn, btw, so whatever happens, they must identify it and fix it FAST or lose market share in an extremely competitive environment, hence they want more and cheaper engineers on or as close to the front-line as possible.

And I'm the only one left from the original team. So, in a way, I'm not surprised that I'm being let go, mostly that it took so long. Plus, our VP doesn't really care for the "homosexuals" and I'm openly one of those... so I think that plays into it as well. Can't prove it, of course, but I suspect it's the case.
What's ironic is that the department I'm in doesn't pay my salary, so I'm kinda confused on how they can't afford me in the budget. |

48. Were you able to find out what kind of work reference your former manager....
...will provide for you? If not, give that person a call and see if you can agree on what that person will say to any potential employer. Make sure you have good refs lined up from your previous jobs and let them know you'll give them a heads-up when you expect them to be called.
Additionally, take some time to update your resume and add the experience you gained from your last employer. Did you receive any training/classes/seminars on or off the job that will help you get your next job? If so, add those, too. In addition to the normal job boards, use Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin to develop leads. Find a few niche boards as well. Also, take a look at a few boards that cater to contractors and add your profile to their database in addition to applying to any jobs that appear appropriate. Go over your finances and see what you can cut out, at least on a temporary basis. If you're eligible for unemployment, apply for asap! Every dollar helps while you're looking for work. You may want to look into food stamps, too. Hope all of this rambling helps...good luck! |

56. I got the axe last Monday.
I applied for unemployment on Tuesday and received notification from the State (Texas) today that I got it. I hated the job so I'm not sorry. It worked out to my benefit. I wish you well. Someone with your coding and developer skills should be able to find something without too much difficulty. Best wishes to you.

60. Sorry to hear that. I have been through it a few times.
But it is good that your company gave you a month to find a new job. Fortunately, two companies that laid me off gave me a few weeks to find other employment. My last job that I had been at for 13 years told me that I was no longer employed there, but they were generous because I received 6 months severance pay. No problem because I was thinking about retiring anyway.
I am sure you will find something in your field especially if you are competent in web designing. |

62. I'm so sorry. Well, at least they were forthright with you & not behind your back to get you to
quit or something.
I'm 59. Last year, at 58, some bad things went down at my job, so that I wondered if they were trying to get me to leave. I did, after much crying. I was treated horribly. They may not have been trying to get me to quit, but it got so bad, I couldn't take it. Keep your chin up. Even at my age, I had another good job within weeks! I had to take a HUGE paycut, but that's why I was able to quit. I could afford to take a paycut. But the job is good. It's much better when they're forthright with you, and hey, they've given you time to find another job. You're lucky, if you look at it that way. And we're coming out of the recession, so there are more jobs now. Still, I'm sorry this happened to you. |

70. I hope things turn out well for you.
And I really, really sympathize. I got my notice on Thursday morning. My last day is a week from today. I was told that it was just a financial decision, and I suppose that is right as far as it goes. I was probably the most highly paid person in my department (at least of those doing the work).
I am in South Carolina, and I am a mainframe programmer (COBOL and some Assembler). I am also about to turn 59, and I have actually had to use my health insurance for the last couple of years. |

72. One of the things that worries me the most
is that I had a wonky EKG recently and I have to go to the cardiologist next week. I'm worried that something will be wrong and my insurance will run out before I can find something else.
Plus, I live in the DC area, which means uber expensive (recently took on a new car payment too). Bad timing all the way around. |

Otherwise, there's CareerBuilders, InDeed, JuJu, CreativeHotlist. Plus, Creative Circle is awesome (but you need to be approved). ...and of course, CraigsList. Sign up with unemployment in the mean time (in California you can collect unemployment and severance pay at the same timeI don't know about DC). Good luck!!! |

80. I'm so sorry to hear that.
May I suggest technical Meetup Groups? Wordpress, .NET, PHP, whatever you're into. I've been very fortunate finding work by networking with these groups. We also have "Hire a Developer" & "Pitch to a Programmer" meetups in my area, where start-up companies looking for techies, come to pitch their company to you.
My husband works in a mainframe shop that hires a lot of sub-contractors. They have said that the placement agencies call them off the hook. Of course, no benefits, but none of them has gone more than a few days without some kind of work & some of the subs have been hired as regular employees. Also, think about putting up a virtual store front to showcase your web skills. I don't know about DC, but there is a fair amount of tech work in my area. Good luck! |

83. I'm sorry to hear this.
Find a job seekers group in your area and go to the meetings. When I was laid off, my former company paid for a three month enrollment in Right Management. They have a lot of good resources, but I found them to be of little value otherwise (lotta psycho-babble and no job postings you can't find elsewhere).
Job seekers groups are free and are often excellent opportunities to network. It helps to know other people are in the same boat as you. If you're not already doing so, keep a journal. Not a blog, a private journal. Studies have shown that people who keep a journal find a job 25% faster than those who don't. Most importantly, if you are not on LinkedIn, get on LinkedIn. Update your profile directly from your resume. Uploading to your LinkedIn profile isn't very good, so I just copy and pasted mine. A trick for getting endorsements is to give endorsements. Stay positive and make finding a job your full time job. |

Ok, just bought Salomon twenty twelves, and I have salomon sth 14 driver bindings. Now I need boots.
I have a narrow foot, tried on some boots at a pre-season sale and really liked the fit I got from Nordica's 45 degree strap.
I'm an advanced-intermediate skier but looking to improve my skills on the bumps as I have mastered skiing really fast on steep slopes. So I want an all-mountain boot. Mondo 39.5. Looking to get around a 100 flex.
Here are the 4 boots I'm considering...

Leah Kirk's Profile
I would like to make everyone happy. I think my shoes do that to those who buy them. Drawing is something I enjoy too, I guess. WAIT! I'm kidding...I love it a lot. I thought I'd open a shop to spread my gift with others and share my love for art, especially that which is wearable. I have been overwhelmed by the interest that friends and random strangers have had in my customized Toms... Thank you all so much!
My favorite things are music, traveling, summercamp, non-conformism, and strawberries. Inspiration comes from nature, people, and wherever I currently am in the world, which is usually Ohio, or preferably Oregon. My favorite places to people-watch are airports.
I. LOVE. TOMS. Let's support the cause. Buy my unique shoes. I have confidence that…

How Live-in Care Works for Caregivers A Fantastic Career Opportunity Presented by: Tom Knox January 30, 2014 CAREFAMILY.COM
Defining Live-in Care As a live-in caregiver, you would provide 24 hour care to a senior in the senior's or the family's home. It is full or part time work in a great work environment with excellent pay, and you can really get to know your client. The goal of this presentation is to help you learn more about this care option so you can decide if you would like to provide live-in care in the future. CAREFAMILY.COM
What does live-in care look like? • You would stay in the home for an extended period of time – days to weeks at a time • Your day is basically split up into 3 parts, 8 hours each • Breakdown of each day: – Work Hours: During this time, you perform normal care tasks, such as bathing, dressing, running errands, meal preparation, and more advanced hands on care when needed. – Rest Hours: During this time, you are allowed to relax, catch up on personal tasks, and get some alone time. You are still "on call" in the event of an emergency. – Sleep Hours: This time should be reserved for sleep as much as possible so that you can stay fresh. You would be available to assist the senior in the event of an emergency.
Benefits of Live-in Care for the Care Provider • Share your time with one or two other caregivers while maintaining a good income • You will be able to have alone time during the day – your own room for privacy and sleep • Room and board are provided – You are responsible for extra snacks, but all normal meals are part of this kind of case. You should be available to help with meal preparation. • You can develop strong bonds with the senior and the family CAREFAMILY.COM
Typical Pay Rate • Though the cost of live-in care for families is less than a typical agency, caregiver pay rates are better. • Most live-in caregivers working through CareFamily make $135 - $155 per day. • This allows you to have off days, sharing time with another caregiver, while still maintaining a decent income. • Remember that room and board are included with live-in care. CAREFAMILY.COM
Scheduling and Sharing • Determine which days you are responsible for upfront. • Very clear communication with the family is important when it comes to scheduling. • Be sure to connect with the other caregiver or caregivers on the case so that you can back each other up in the case of an emergency. CAREFAMILY.COM
Is Live-in Care for You? • Do you look for consistency in your cases? • Are you ok with living at a home away from home for extended periods of time? • Would this kind of pay work for you? • Do you prefer cases in which you can develop close bonds with the family and the senior? • Are you okay with being "on call" at all times? CAREFAMILY.COM
Our Story … Your Story " My beloved grandmother was neglected in a facility. It inspired me to start an agency that successfully hired and cared for thousands of seniors at home. I have realized that there are great caregivers who want to build their careers at a livable wage. Our goal is to provide you great career options with the best families in America." - Tom Knox, Founder Held by my great grandmother … 5 Generations of my family. CAREFAMILY.COM

We chatted with a few makeup experts to get the scoop on how to choose a balm that'll have your mouth begging for more.
The first thing you need to consider when purchasing a lip balm is how you want to apply your product, says celebrity makeup artist Julia Papworth. If you want to use your fingers to dab it on, a pot or a jar is probably the way to go. If you like to squeeze it out, a tube is definitely your best bet. And if you prefer swipeing a solid balm across your lips, a stick is the best way to go.
Some people love the fruity smell of a lip balm, while others are totally turned off by anything aromatic, notes Julia. Think about what you like, try out some of your friends' products or just experiment on your own with a couple of balms to determine what scents and flavors (if any at all) appeal to your senses.
When searching for the perfect lip balm, makeup artist and creative director for e.l.f. Cosmetics Achelle Dunaway, recommends looking for products that perform double, or even triple and quadruple, duty. "For example, a lip balm that has SPF with key nourishing ingredients to help hydrate and moisturize your pout, a minty flavor to help freshen breath and a tint to give lips that just-bitten natural look, is a definite must-have."
The whole point of lip balm is to make your mouth look and feel divine, so remember — it's okay to be picky! TV and film makeup artist and the CEO/founder of Advanced Mineral Makeup Annie Mayo, suggests a lip balm with high grade oils, such as sweet almond oil, tea tree oil, sage oil and vitamin E, which will soothe and moisturize your pout without leaving you with that greasy feeling. She also says to make sure it contains an SPF of at least 15 and is free of parabens.
If you're dealing with extremely dry, cracked, peeling and/or chapped lips, don't hesitate to buy a medicated balm that'll not only soothe your mouth but get to the root of the problem, too.
What's the number one thing you look for when purchasing a lip balm? Share in the comments below!

Our plan was to climb Royce in the morning in case we got cloud build up like the day before, then decide whether to hang out in camp for another night or move on.
The clouds are already building quickly at 9 am....good thing Royce is a pretty quick peak, we are fairly certain we'll be up and down it in a few hours, long before clouds typically turn into storms. But of course, as anyone who has spent any time up there knows, there is not really a 'typically' in sierra weather.
Pretty green meadows on the way to Royce. The peak is poking up in the distance.
Looks like a relatively tame climb up talus. It looks loose/gravelly on the right side of the peak and bigger on the left side of the peak, so we'll pick a line when we get closer.
Baby grouse/sage hen. We saw a couple of them hopping around the rocks. Awww.
Feather Peak poking up on the right. 9:30 am but the clouds are looking a little more '2 pm'
Crossing into the talus. Now you can see the sandy right chute and the talusy slope. We started up the talus, and when the rocks got a bit big to negotiate we moved over to the sandy part. It was easy.
View from the climb up Royce. We can see Seven Gables again. :)
View to the south and Glacier Divide
Seven Gables in the shadows
Summit is up there somewhere
Hm, it's now 10 am and that cloud (over Goddard, I believe the peak is) is looking a bit '3 pmish'.
Hm, definitely threatening, but not bad yet. And there are still nice blue skies above Royce.
A pika pile! It is a well-known fact that pikas are the cutest animal in the mountains, looking like some adorable mouse/rabbit hybrid. They spend all summer stockpiling green plants to insulate their den and provide food for the long months they spend under the snow in the winter.
Almost to the summit. Floofy clouds make for nice pictures, not feeling threatened by them.
Topping out on the summit plateau. Mt Humpreys on the right.
Looks like that cloud has decided to dump some rain on Goddard. That's ~15 miles away as the crow flies. If it's goddard - I wasn't sure at the time. I still have to check maps.
Gordon on what looks like the summit. He called down to me that there was a higher rock pile ~100 yards behind him. So I contoured around this one and continued to the farther pile.
Suncupped snow on Royce. Shadow of Mt Tom in the distance.
Gordon pointing out the 'correct' rock pile.
Upper French Canyon and Mt Humpreys from Royce Peak
Rock piles on Royce. Notice how that distant storm is now going out of view as I continued on to the summit pile.

Ooooh, the Christmas lights on Regent and Oxford Streets are always so amazing! It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas here, too. It always makes me so upset when they shove it out right after Halloween in the US, completely ignoring Thanksgiving, but they do it in here (in Europe) too and somehow I'm OK with it. Giddy even. Isn't that weird?
ReplyDeleteThese are soooo pretty! I'm especially loving the umbrellas and decorated packages. How CUTE are they!?! I love when stores decorate their windows and streets are lit up. So festive! So cheery! Have a great night Danielle! Excellent post. :D This really puts me in the Christmas spirit!

(7/2/15) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments July 2, 2015 5:58 PM THE BRONX - Problems are persisting for some tenants of 1135 Pelham Parkway North who say they have been living without basic needs because their landlord is trying to force them from their homes. They say their landlord, Goldfarb Properties, has been harassing them for more than a year because the property manager is looking to entice higher-paying tenants. Issues cited include the removal of laundry rooms without notice and shutting down elevators. Inside the apartments, some residents are living without gas, heat or hot water. They have resorted to using hot plates to cook. One resident tells News 12 that he was promised a new kitchen, but the Department of Buildings stepped in while construction was occurring. The landlord could not produce plans, so a stop-work order was issued. Tenants reached out to Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for help. The complaints prompted Schneiderman, the Tenant Harassment Prevention Task Force and the state Department of Housing and Community Renewal to call for an investigation into Martin Scharf and Philip Goldfarb.
