I'm honored to bring you another guest post today, this one by Rachel Turiel who writes about raising her family in Colorodo on her blog, 6512 and Growing. When I read Rachel's posts, I often find myself shaking my head "yes," smiling, high-fiving her in my imagination for choosing the perfect words to describe what so many mamas wish to define. I love that even though I've never met her, we share love for many things, namely the honor of raising and enjoying our families. Her words today were truly a gift for me–one I'm happy to share with you.
The Grace of Now
by Rachel Turiel
My children are cleaning up the daily trail of toys that expand from their shared room like some explorers' route of conquest, like say, the midday takeover of the living room.
"Do you still want this silly putty?" Rose, my 5 year old daughter asks her brother.
"Naw, just kick it under the couch and then when we're roaming around later, we'll find it." Col, 8, replies.
This is not as much cleaning avoidance as it is strategy, in which it will actually be great fun to rediscover the lost archipelago of silly putty on a further territorial advance.
I hardly flinch, overhearing this conversation. I'm long indoctrinated into the deranged and gorgeous ways of children, in which life is lived like a competition for Grand Poobah of the If It's Not Fun, Why Do It? society.
If I can find the right frame of mind, which sometimes entails a literal search (think: coffee beans, hot water and french-pressing my own depths for inner strength), I can see us all on the wild adventure entitled: ordinary family day.
There is no place I'd rather be.
On every ordinary day, these children lead me to the cliff of sparkly rainbows where I sigh gratefully for this life, these babies, the whole cherry pie of motherhood. And then 10 minutes later we're all falling down that same cliff, the one perched above the nest of poisonous snakes, snakes who won't go to bed at night, who won't wear a hat when it's two degrees outside, and who invent dubious sibling poker matches: I'll see your blood-drawing scratch and raise you a small kick in the shin.
My greatest roadblock is believing that things should be different. That, because I am devoted to motherhood like say, Elton John is devoted to his feather boas, my kids will eventually come up empty on the Netflix queue of their own sibling drama. Or that by draping my own boa of love around my children daily, we might avoid boarding the wrong train, you know, the one that stops at the stations: hurt and pain.
But it's not like that. Parenthood contains everything. It's more Shakespearian than Shakespeare, what with the comedy of emergency bath evacuations due to stealth poops, and the tragedy of mama-guilt that finds you wherever you're hiding…like water, like a flood.
What helps is letting it all in, making space for the largest emotions that erupt from the smallest bodies; or the messes that, like those trick-candles, never seem to completely blow out; or the hot flare-up of my own anxiety and regret.
And then, I turn to the grace of now.
These days with young children are like having your own, slightly tipsy tour guide ushering you through life, pointing out: the squirrels in the park! the sparkly shoes! the paintbrushes ready to plunge into color! Their job is to wring juicy, succulent moments out of the thin, bland air of ordinary days; your job is to follow.
Today, one tour guide has fallen so hopelessly in love with a bottle of glue, she's adhering bits of fuzz found on our floor to a piece of paper. The other grabs my hand, gasping audibly at the first scraggly clump of spring dandelions; his own joy the mindfulness bell that brings me back to the luckiness of this life.
Sometimes it seems like these moments—and our tightly braided lives—will go on forever, an endless string of dishes and hand-holding. But they won't. Someday my children will walk by a clump of sunny dandelions and not think to scrabble them together into a bouquet. Someday my bed won't be full of children wriggling like puppies before the sun is even up.
These days, these moments—today!—is all we really have. To witness the growth and evolution of a child is exquisite. To love and be loved unconditionally is both like being encased in protective armor, and also like having it shatter daily, because it's the most tender, vulnerable skin you'll ever wear.
And truly, all I ever remember by the blessed end of the day—by the time I'm ghosting through the kids' darkened room, pulling blankets over slumbering bodies, those bodies that, sleeping, appear to be cobbled out of such earnest goodwill that I imagine them exhaling world peace in their sleep—all I remember, is the joy of parenting that, like cream, always rises to the top.

A BIG PULLING DOG - how to retrain please?
I have a lovely neighbour who rescued a large white dog (labrador type) about 5 years ago. She is of a petite frame and struggles to walk her dog as he is of the pulling type. I would greatly appreciate any tips, information, advice etc. on how to retrain a dog that pulls? This also causes great stress on parts of her body that ache! Thank you very much!
Pulling dog - opinions needed re: Neck collars+damaging cervical spine?
I would appreciate any experiences on the most humane "device" to use, (at the end of a leash), when walking a very strong and large dog? I posted a question today on how to retrain a pullling dog, but I am also quite concerned with regards to damaging the dog's cervical spine from years of pulling and wearing a neck collar. At the moment the dog wears a collar that becmes so tight around her neck as she is pulling.....but she still seems to be pulling!! Are there any types of body harnesses that might be healthier for this type of dog to wear, to avoid future health issues concerning her neck area? If yes, are there any names, brands of any suggested products that I could receive so that I can help my neighbour and her beautiful rescued dog Jazz?
You would do better to add your question to the other post instead of having all the different posts going. It gets confusing. Especially when you do all the funky colours.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
I would either get a halti or a harness.
but does your neighbor know how to train a dog to walk ? When the dog pulls too much , she has to stop and change direction ... type thing.
I walk my large dog on a prong. I have tried harnesses and slip chokers and martingale collars. The prong was the best solution. They also have little rubber ends you can put on the metal ends. BUT the prong does require training on proper use. It is meant for a quick correct and release. My dog pulled like mad. With the help of a trainer we figured the prong was the best bet.
And no. she does not know how to train a dog to walk ..... that is why I am posting on this forum.... to obtain some information to hopefully be able to help her and Jazz out, and to give to her some advice, links, etc... i.e. such as this little tip you suggested...."she has to stop and change direction ... type thing".....I would like to perhaps find some more details on how to do this method, as it sounds great.....>? (i.e. when she stops and the dog is still pulling and panting.... how does one physically then change directions? Are there any words spoken to the dog? etc.etc.) Thank you. I appreciate your replies!
when your walking the dog and the dog starts to pull just make like an about face and start walking the other way. the dog will learn to follow and not to lead. if the dog is pulling no matter what kind of collar they have on there should be quick correct and release. like a snap of the leash and a let go. I use the "lets go" command with my dogs. if they start pulling I will turn around start going the other way and say lets go...
The method will work best if your friend is strong enough to actually change the dog's momentum--if the dog is powerful enough to pull her over, it may not work.
If she can find a safe fenced-in area to start, it will be safer.
She walks the dog forward and the very second the dog moves out ahead and the leash starts to get taut, she does a 180 and walks off in the opposite direction, tugging the dog with her. Ideally, the dog stops and comes along, too. Every time the dog forges ahead to pull, she changes direction randomly, bringing the dog along. Eventually, the dog will begin to learn that it has to watch its owner and follow along.
It does work after a while but all the pivoting and direction changes can be dizzying till the dog gets the idea.
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
You're so much more concise than I am, maneater!

"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I also know an older lady who was having problems with her dog. She was told to stand in one spot and give the dog the full 6 feet of leash. *not thoes retractable leashes... garbage in my opinoin* when the dog got to the end of the leash she would give a quick snap of the leash and the dog learned that once he felt a pulling of the leash he would back off and let the leash fall lose again. With my dogs I allow them the full 6 feet of leash so they can sniff and stuff.. I keep walking and if they don't follow I give the "lets go" command and a quick snap of the leash and they come. I only have them walk on a heal if we are crossing the street or people are walking towards us or any other situation like that. Let the dog wear the leash around the house to get use to the leash...
also , to help before the walks , if your friend has a backyard where she can "tire" the dog first. Like make the dog run and play , then she goes for the walk. A tired dog makes it easier to train
We stop (a really sudden stop), as soon as the dog moves ahead of us where she loses us from her peripheral vision. And when we stop, she has to go back and sit beside us, and look us in the eye for direction. As soon as she looks us in the eye, we decide where we will go.
Or we will make a 180, and turn into the opposite direction without warning (usually when she walks too far ahead of us before the leash gets tight. If she turns when we do before there's a snap in the leash, she gets a love party and a treat.
These techniques would depend on the amount of time we have available for the walk. But during training walks, we will use the 180 as preferred method, since it gives our 95lbs dog the opportunity to really learn that we are the ones who decide where we are going.
Also, but not immediately related to the walk in practical sense, is having the dog leashed to you in the house, and expecting the dog to go where you go. You need to go to the kitchen, dog has to come too. You need to sit on the couch, dog needs to settle down too. Etc. It tells the dog that YOU are in charge and decide where things are happening, rather than the dog deciding what's next.
Get A Gentle Leader
http://bassethoundrescuequebec.com Website Finding Hounds Forever Homes
http://bassethoundrescuechronicles.blogspot.com/ Blog
http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Basset-Hound-GuardiansGroup/ Basset Owners Meet-Up Group
Gentle Leaders have been known to 'tweak' the neck and cause a sideways whip lash effect. Gentle Leader does make aN 'Easy Walk Harness' that clips in the front and compress' the dogs chest when he pulls forward - it works on SOME dogs.
If you could help to train this dog (since you seem to care a lot and the owner seems a tad infirm?), you could help teach the dog not to pull at all and then transfer the methods to the owner.
First of all...people are the ones who teach dogs to pull. Every step you take with the dog on a tight leash teaches the dog to pull the human because it works.
Begin by standing still - lock the leash to you (leash hand with thumb in pocket works great). DO NOT MOVE ONE INCH!! Allow the dog to pull against the pressure of the leash as if he is tied to a tree. Trees are great teachers because they don't give and they don't move. The dog creates his own pressure by pulling against the leash and when it doesn't work he steps back and creates slack in the leash to get comfortable. Praise when he does this.
Do this several times in different locations until he stops pulling against the leash. You can give it a word like "close" so he learns what you are asking for.
Then you need to progress to moving. Have the dog on a short but loose leash beside you. You are going to take 2-3 steps forward on a loose leash and then stop abruptly (with a slight stomp of your foot to cue the dog). If the dog stops with you then relax, keep the leash loose and praise him. If he step 1 inch past your toe line then you are going to turn sharply into him and go 2-3 steps in the opposite direction and repeat the drill. It is very simple. If he flies past you before you even get to the 2-3 steps then you are going to INSTANTLY go backwards 5-10 steps - bringing him back to your side and when he gets beside you start walking forward again. Consider this a 5 yard penalty for rushing.
It is always best to start drills in the house on carpet. Less distractions and the carpet provides good traction.
You are teaching the dog to be aware of your body. He gets pressure for moving past your toe line by having to turn around or go backwards. He learns that pulling to what he wants only gets him further away - but walking nicely beside you on a loose leash gets him moving forward which is what he wants.

Dog Training the Way Nature Intended
Personally I would use a Lupi harness. I find these really help to keep the dog from pulling. I trained a 120lb Bloodhound to walk on with manners on a leash. This was a dog who had never been walked on a leash and could pull me down the street. In two days he had done a complete 180. In 2 weeks he was walking with a regular collar and no pulling. Most harnesses will actually give the dog more power to pull.
A dog has so many friends because they wag their tails not their tongues.

We use a prong collar on Jack (105 lb GSD) and it
saved us from dislocated limbs, lolz. These collars
do work & are harmless..even the "dog whisperer"
recommends them for headstrong/heavy dogs
Jack -2yr GSD
Prongs will work as well but I would use it as a last resort. I have used them so I am not against them but I would really try the lupi first. If you do go with a prong make sure you get instruction on how to use it properly because used improperly they can do more harm than good.

Prongs should not be used unless a very last effort. They have much more negatives then positive.
Try using a head collar -halti, control ease, gentle leader. This head collar goes over the snout and still allows the dog to eat, pant, basically keep its mouth open. When the dog pulls he will automatically pull it's head sideways and find it uncomfortable.
I have a dog who is the most stubborn dog on pulling and this is the only thing that works. Head collars aren't meant to be used as a crutch, it's a training tool, eventually you should go back to using a flat buckle collar.
I honestly do not like halti or gentle leaders because once you remove them and go to a regular collar they go back to pulling. Prongs are very effective as I said before but must be used properly. When used properly they are very effective and not really negative.

Head collars are paired with verbal cues or physical gestures.
e.i. when they walk beside you say "good heel" . Using the association of them walking beside you and praise. Like I said it's not meant to be a crutch, it should be paired with praise for the alternative behavior. Dogs are smart and will clue in, hey when I do this my owner likes it and I get pets/treats/toys, whatever.
Prongs do work on stronger pulling dogs and larger dogs who are VERY calm but just pull, usually over 100 lbs too, because people usually cannot physically restrain a 100 lb pulling dog. But as a trainer I've seen too many dogs have prong collars and have become aggressive and have negative associations with them. If you pull back if the dog is pulling at a kid, that pinch could send a wrong message association pain=child and can become aggressive to avoid having that negative feeling.
When my dogs used to pull, or sometimes still do, I try to determine what exactly is causing it. Is it just a restless sort of I-gotta-get-nowhere-fast, or caused by anxiety. Are they lunging after a little critter (bird, mouse, etc), or are they lunging out of fear/warning? It's important to address the issues that underlie pulling and lunging. Either the dog wasn't taught to walk properly on a loose leash, needs more practice/training with focusing on me, needs to be desensitized to objects it fears, and/or needs to be taught a new, opposing behavior.
Find the most gentlest method to begin with to avoid creating even worse issues and remember...collars, harnesses, head halters, etc. are all tools. They don't train dogs, we do.
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." -Will Durant
I agree, It's not just a matter of getting a new collar or harness. You have to assess why the dog is pulling and provide training for how you want the dog to walk.
I have found that chin harnesses work for some dogs and body harnesses work better for others. Either case, I would reward behaviour that I wanted. I would reward them for when they walked with a loose leash, even couple of metres they'd get a 'good girl' and the odd kibble treat. When they did pull out ahead, I'd stop and they'd stop tugging and turn to look to me, I'd click and reward as soon as they looked at me or better yet, came back to me.
The "Reverse Walking" method laid out above is also very effective for most dogs.
Some dogs do well with a "get behind me" reward method where you drop treats or kibble right behind you and so they learn that staying close behind you is rewarding. Regularly praise them for staying close to you. Do it for a week and then start fading out the treats but continue praising. Then slowly faze out the praising expect for the odd 'good girl" and the odd treat.
Hi all. I'm new here but this thread is relevant to my present experience. We recently adopted a two year old poodle/Lhasa apso mix named Max. His on-leash walking behavior was excellent when we tried various things in the house. He didn't pull and he stopped walking when I stopped. He maintained excellent eye contact and walked right next to me wherever I led him. The problem is, as soon as we get outside, he pulls. He only does this for about the first half of the walk. Then he walks much more nicely after that. So, my question is, how do we eliminate the pulling part of the walk? I use a regular collar and a four foot leash.
i defintiely recommend that you start a new thread with a more applicable thread title -- you will get more responses that way...
What i found most effective against pulling is the stop and go method as well as the stop and redirect (not sure if its an official method or just something that worked for us): basically every time that our guy would start pulling i would stop or switch directions, the goal was to teach our guy that if he pulls, the last thing that he will get is to go to his 'destination' faster. It requires ALOT of patience, a 30 minute walk may take an hour ... but it really worked well, basically he eventually learned that to keep moving forward he needs to not pull because pulling would just slow him down even more... this has worked with both my guy and my parent's dobey
i am sure others may have other ideas. good luck and remember - patience!!!

A Halti I think would work good in your case. It is also good to confirm that she is dealing with this behavior in a proper way(training how to walk) most of the time it can be solved without an added device.

Ahh,I was not paying attention to the type of dog lol. Yeah I agree then harness would be better,Ive tried both with my boxer. Harness on big dogs just braces them more so they can pull easier. She hatess the halti ive only put it on her like 3 times maybe. All i got to do is tell her ill put it on,and she stops pulling haha. Thanks for the correction.
Did you see this excellent advice Hatchman?
That was just amazing info. Thanks for posting..
The more I get to know people, the more I love my dog...
There ain't no cure for stupid ...... but we should make sure we laugh and point it out to everyone else
Thank you everyone.

Investors would need to keep at least 10 to 30 percent of their portfolio in physical gold to preserve their wealth when money starts losing value amid expectations of further stimulus measures from major central banks, according to Juerg Kiener, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Swiss Asia Capital.
The U.S. Federal Reservewraps up its two-day meeting on Wednesday and the European Central Bank (ECB) meets on Thursday. Traders are betting on action by the ECB after President Mario Draghi said last week that the bank was ready to do whatever was necessary, within its mandate, to save the euro. On Friday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande said in a joint statement that they too were prepared to support the euro zone.
This will likely come in the form of bond buying and such injection of liquidity would hurt purchasing power, said Kiener, who expects stimulus measures "within the next six weeks."
"Because the purchasing power of money is being totally destroyed during the monetization period, and if you look at the last few monetization periods, the purchasing power of the dollar lost about 30 percent," Kiener told CNBC Asia's "Squawk Box"on Monday. "So if you lose 30 percent within a short period, a 30 percent of something which preserves your purchasing power is actually equalizing your losses on the rest of your portfolio."
Stocks ended Friday higher on Draghi's comments after starting the week gripped by worries that Spain would need a full bailout. Yields on Spain's 10-year government bonds dropped the most in seven months to 6.74 percent, amid speculation the ECB will accelerate efforts to ease the region's sovereign debtcrisis.
This shows that markets are expecting "fairly strong" action by the ECB, according to John Noonan, Senior Forex Analyst with Thomson Reuters in Sydney.
"The market is definitely pricing in a fairly strong action, certainly pricing in the ECB buying in the secondary-market Spanish and Italian bonds to keep those yields down and the (European Financial Stability Fund) coming in at the auctions themselves to also help out," Noonan told CNBC. "I think they're (ECB) going to be printing money like it's going out of style at some stage."
He said the ECB would like yields to decline to about 5.5 percent at least in the short term.
The Federal Reserve, on the other hand, may not embark on new quantitative easing this week, even if the U.S. economy is showing signs of slowing down, having expanded 1.5 percent in the second quarter compared to 2 percent in the first quarter. The Fed are focusing on domestic problems now and want to keep ammunition to battle looming tax and spending issues, according to Tony Farnham, Economist and Analyst with Patersons Securities in Sydney.
"Everyone is waiting to see what happens with the (presidential) election (on November 6) and following from there, what ability and capability they have to go out and push back the so-called fiscal cliff," Farnham said. "So I would believe that the Fed at this stage would not be wanting to use what bullets it's got left on events overseas when it looks on his own turf and it's got a few issues there."
The fiscal cliff is when a host of tax cuts expire and automatic spending cuts go into effect at the end of the year. President Obama and his fellow Democrats have proposed extending the tax cuts for everyone except those making more than $250,000 in annual income while Republicans advocate extending the tax cuts for everyone.
Former Treasury secretaries Henry Paulson and Robert Rubin warned last week that if Congress could not agree on these issues by the end of the year, the tax increases and spending cuts will have dire consequences for the U.S. economy.

Quick Start Guide To Vaping E Cigs
We know at first this can be a bit confusing, so we created this as a fast start guide to clarify some basics about electronic cigarettes.
What Do You Need For Bare Essentials?
You need a battery and flavor cartridge refills (these put together resemble an actual cigarette), with a charger to recharge the battery.
Pictured to the right are the absolute bare essentials – a battery with a cartridge next to it, 5 flavor cartridges, and a USB charger.
There are other options for e cigs, but most people when starting out want the closest thing to an actual cigarette, and e cigs with cartridges (also known as cartomizers) are the closest.
Try one out to see if you like it, and then you may want to look into more advanced things like refilling your own, or e cigarette mods etc.
Most Affordable Way To Get Out Of The Gate:
Look at a starter kit, and we recommend getting 2 batteries. If you like it and the battery dies, that sucks!
How Does An E Cig Work?
With the basic models, there is a heating filament inside the cartridge that heats up the nicotine vapor. This is activated by just inhaling through some models (automatic batteries), or when inhaling you need to hold down a button with manual batteries.
What About Modded E Cigs and APVs (Advanced Personal Vaporizers)?
If you're looking for an upgraded battery, variable voltage device, or tank systems and clearomizers, check out VaporZone.
They have an awesome line of APVs, and they also carry a ridiculous amount of e-juice to choose from.
To the right are a couple of their models, which go from the basic tank system all the way to the maxed out Rebel, which is for those who want an APV with all the bells and whistles – essentially its own computer.
Which Brands Are Closest To An Actual Tobacco Cigarette?
Just like with the analogue predecessors (another name for regular butts), everyone has their own taste. You may want to try more than one.
Here Are Our Top Choices For The Closest To The Real Thing:
For Marlboro Red – V2 Cigs Red 18 – Available at: http://v2cigs.com
Nice tobacco flavors – Halo Tribeca, South Beach Smoke, Green Smoke and Bull Smoke Tobacco flavors
Menthol – South Beach Smoke Menthol
Each Listed Is Available For Purchase Direct From The Company:
If you purchase your e cigs from any of the above companies we have coupon codes here to save you some money on your online purchase.
We hope that clarified some of your basic questions with electronic cigarettes.
An Introduction To E Cigarettes
How's it going? Welcome to our site.
We'll be going over various e cigarettes that we've tried, and giving our reviews. Myself and my friend Greg created this site because we both love e cigs, and decided to share our experience and findings with electronic cigarette brands to help you figure out which will be best for you.
As for me, I'm Martin (the guy to the left sitting in a car), and I have smoked for a while now, over 10 years. Now this sounds like a 12 step meeting lol.
Anyways, I guess that reference could be fitting since I am pretty addictive with most anything I do. Maybe you can relate.
As a smoker, I'm the type of person who likes my Marlboros, and I like it that way. They are one of those loyal companions, and if it ain't broke, why fix it, right?
That brings me to electronic cigarettes…
I suddenly heard of a few people around me who started using e cigarettes, and liked them. They love smoking cigarettes just like I do. Most people I knew used the same e cigs, and had tried other e cigs in the past, so they have some nice experience.
That was the one thing that piqued my curiosity: that I knew of a few people who loved smoking, like me, who really like these e cigs.
What Really Sold Me On Taking The Plunge?
Yep, what you see pictured here to the right ——–>
Everyone has their own habits and ways, and mine was…I love my cigarettes, and wasn't looking to quit, or cut back or anything, I just loved my smoking habit.
Then my sister brought them up to me, as I was looking at my budget, and she's like: 'these things cost me pennies every day.'
I asked for some clarification, and she meant: 'less than 50 cents, maybe less than 25 cents even'.
At that point, whether it is 25 cents a day, or 50 cents, I am over here paying $16 a day for 2 packs of Marlboros.
Then I realized if I liked them even a little, I could hopefully cut back and save some cash if I liked them enough to satiate that fix. I decided to try one out. I chose the Joye 510, my sister's e cig of choice, and the gateway ecig for a lot of people (I have since upgraded) and got regular tobacco flavor, since I wasn't looking for dessert flavors, as I liked my Marlboros.
I then did find I liked them, and immediately cut back, as I just switched back and forth, and she was right, it is pennies a day, when you refill your own with e liquid. (You can refill any brands, so it's the same thing – I have a video how to refill them here on the V2 page).
If The Cost Of Smoking is Your Primary Motivation:
We recommend heading over to http://bullsmoke.com and get their starter kit for $29.95 (it will cost you $50 or more to get the equivalent in parts just about anywhere else). Then head over to http://halocigs.com or http://v2cigs.com and buy some refill liquid and refill your own. (Watch our video how to refill e cig cartridges here).
It is cheap enough where you may want to try both, and perhaps a couple tobacco blends (for tobacco we recommend Halo Tribeca or V2 Red). A couple of bottles will cost less than a carton of regular butts, and the cost of daily use is less than $1 day, maybe significantly less depending how much you vape.
Update for September 2013: My sister has been converted to V2 E Liquid, after enjoying her own brand for over a year, and she loves the V2 E Juice.
So, that's my intro to e cigs. We'll be going into more specifics on our site, with brands etc. and we'll be trying some different brands and giving our reviews.
Check out our reviews of the best electronic cigarette brands here!
We created a page for our V2 Cigs, Green Smoke and South Beach Smoke reviews, for those of you who want top quality (all three of them are essentially the Cadillacs of electronic cigarettes).
The link above has a more expansive list of the various electronic cigarettes we are reviewing, which we're continually updating.
Now, to hopefully make your search easier, here are a couple topics that may interest you:
- To check out the top rated e cig brand by Alexa.com, check out V2 (they are in the top 10,000 sites, which is no joke considering there are millions, or perhaps billions of websites).
- For the cheapest and best product for the money, check out Bull Smoke, and also go here to see how it is the cheapest option.
- For cool quotes, check out our daily quote page here.
- To follow us on Facebook (we have some cool stuff coming!) and keep up with our updates, check out and like our Facebook page here. *Another September Update*: Our giveaways (currently V2 and South Beach Smoke starter kits) have commenced, check out our Facebook Page for details.
- To see our top picks, check out our top 5 list here.
- Here is a video all about vapor cigarettes, hopefully with everything you need to know about them and getting started vaping.
Otherwise, we hope our site helps you find what you're looking for. Leave a comment with helpful feedback, e cig tips, recommendations of any brands you'd like us to review, a cool quote to add to our daily quote page, or anything you'd like to see us cover on our site, and we will consider it.

Jaguars Could be Without 2 Defensive Starters for Vikings Game
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars could be without two defensive starters in their season opener at Minnesota.
Linebacker Daryl Smith sat out practice Thursday because of a groin injury and cornerback Derek Cox was limited for the second consecutive day with a hamstring injury.
Both players missed the majority of the preseason with those injuries, but Smith seemingly re-aggravated his groin after practicing Monday and Wednesday. If Smith can't play, Kyle Bosworth likely would start in his place. Coach Mike Mularkey doesn't anticipate Cox playing against the Vikings. Will Middleton or Kevin Rutland likely would start in his place.
The Jaguars got some good news Thursday with the full return of receiver Justin Blackmon (ankle) and guard Uche Nwaneri (ankle). Both were limited in practice Wednesday.

Two kids later and Will Arnett has picked up some top-notch negotiating skills.
"Two nights ago I had to bribe my 3-year-old, Archie, into finishing his dinner with a King Cone," the Up All Night star, 41, says in Redbook's October issue.
"That thing is half his body weight, so he was going on chocolate and sugar until 10 p.m."
That same unconventional approach to parenting once had the actor questioning his ability to raise his boys, including 14-month-old Abel James — but not any more!
"I think I've become mellower with two kids. You're nervous with the first one," he admits.
"You remember all the stupid stuff you've done, and you think, 'Who put me in charge?' You think they're going to chase you down and take that baby back."
As for the final call in any family decisions, Arnett leaves the task up to his wife Amy Poehler, but, he insists, the real trick is on her.
"She thinks she's the boss, but I'm the boss," he jokes. "Part of being the boss is allowing others to think they're the boss, which is what I do."

UN to launch new round of talks on how to curb global warming and who should pay for it
DOHA, Qatar – As nearly 200 countries meet in oil-and-gas rich Qatar for annual talks starting Monday on slowing global warming, one of the main challenges will be raising climate aid for poor countries at a time when budgets are strained by financial turmoil.
Tim Gore of British charity Oxfam said Sunday that developing countries, including island nations for whom the rise in sea levels poses an existential threat, stand before a "climate fiscal cliff."
Existing commitments for climate aid expire this year, as does the only binding treaty to limit carbon emissions — the Kyoto Protocol. Negotiators in the Qatari capital of Doha will discuss renewing both, and will start work on a new global climate pact that is set to be adopted in 2015.

Item # HED000ZItem # HED000Z
Let the wind slip right by
The H3 is highly acclaimed for its unique design, which is matched only by the number of times it's been ridden to the podium. The H3 features incomparable speed, revolutionary lateral stiffness, and superior handling abilities. Whether you're looking for the cream of the crop of time trial wheels or an extra advantage for your next triathlon season, the HED H3 FR Clincher Road Wheels are the answer.
While other companies are just now starting to improve upon the carbon clincher wheel, HED has been fine-tuning perfection for decades. Just as the favorite child gets an extra scoop of ice cream, the H3 FR clincher has enjoyed numerous technological innovations and improvements to further cement its position at the top of the heap. To begin with, the H3 is extremely aerodynamic. The H3 utilizes three main components to achieve its low drag ratios: a 54mm deep rim section, airfoil section spokes, and the smooth connection points where the two join. The H3 design has perpetually concentrated on eliminating drag resistance from every angle of the wheel. The deep rim section is designed to minimize drag at shallow yaw angles, and past 15 degrees, the shape of the airfoil spokes allow airflow passage to keep the wheel from stalling.
The HED H3 FR Carbon Clincher Road Wheels have an intense focus on rigidity and stability. The carbon layup, resins, and fiber orientations of the H3 are at their most advanced stages to date. The result is a startling amount of lateral and torsional rigidity. To ice the cake, HED has also developed a 'secret weapon' that it calls Stability Control Technology, which effectively tames crosswind at any angle to the wheel. SCT is so secret that HED will not detail the process publicly, but the performance value is instantly recognizable upon usage.
Unparalleled quality control, aerodynamic design, and rim shape innovation set the H3 FR Clincher Road Wheels apart from the pack. Decades of H3 podium finishes have reinforced that HED is better following the beat of their own drum, and that eventually, all others will follow.
The HED H3 FR Carbon Clincher Road Wheels include a titanium skewer and alloy rim cap, and they have a maximum recommended user weight of 250lb. Please note that these wheels are sold individually, and that the rear is available with either a Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo 11-speed freehub.
- Carbon rim
- Alloy brake track
- Stability Control Technology
- 19mm rim width and 54mm rim depth
- FR Sonic hubs
- Quick-release front hub
- Titanium skewers
- Shimano/SRAM 9/10/11- and Campangolo 11-speed compatibility

Reviews & Community
Is this tubeless compatible, and can the Campy freehub be swapped to Shimano? Thanks
These wheels are not tubeless compatible and HED. does not list freehubs for their QR hubs therefore you would not be able to convert these to a Shimano driver.

Get Ready for Bloggy Olympics!!!
Join The 3AM Teacher, the Reading Olympians, and over 80 SUPREME education bloggers as we take you through a tour of the Reading Olympians Root Study Program!!
I am so honored to participate in this blog hop! This is my first time blogging about a product I've used in the classroom, so I'm super excited:)
I used the First Grade Roots packet in my classroom, with a small intervention group.
First, we read the story about different prefixes and suffixes. In the story we read about the following prefixes and suffixes: re-, -ed, -less, -pre, -s, -ful, un-, -er, dis-, -est, and pre-. The kids had a great time helping me read the words with prefixes and suffixes. Since I don't have an interactive white board in my classroom, I really wanted to be able to share the book as an electronic version on my iPad, but I couldn't figure out how to open it on my iPad. Either of those options would be a great way to share the story though:)
Then the students matched word cards (with prefixes and suffixes) to their meaning.
Beforehand, I laminated the cards and attached velcro, so students could match the words (with prefixes and suffixes) to their meaning. This was instead of having students cut and glue their own copies. As this was an intervention sessions, we were limited on time.
Here is an up close version.
Finally, students worked independently on their own packets to create words using the prefixes and suffixes we talked about.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Unlawfully Revealed Employee's Medical Information, Federal Agency Says
MILWAUKEE – A major financial services company, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans of Appleton, Wis., violated federal law by making public a temporary employee's confidential medical information, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to EEOC Chicago District Director John Rowe, whose jurisdiction includes Wisconsin, the agency's administrative investigation which preceded the lawsuit revealed that Thrivent violated the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) when it inquired about the employee's medical condition and then revealed to prospective employers that he suffers from migraine headaches. Thrivent's disclosures had a negative impact on the employee's ability to obtain employment from those employers.
Such alleged conduct violates the ADA, which protects employees and applicants from discrimination based on disabilities. The EEOC filed suit after first trying to reach a voluntary settlement out of court through its conciliation process. The agency seeks back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for the employee, in addition to an order requiring other relief and barring future discrimination. The suit, captioned EEOC v. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, E.D. Wis. Civil Action No.10-C-853, was filed in federal district court in Milwaukee.
John Hendrickson, regional attorney of the EEOC's Chicago District Office, which is responsible for EEOC litigation in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota, said, "Americans do not give up their privacy rights when they go to work. The ADA makes it clear that an employee's medical information should remain confidential, and that employers should not be allowed to ruin an employee's job prospects by revealing that sensitive information to other employers."
On its web site, Thrivent describes itself as "the nation's largest fraternal benefits society" and "a faith-based, not-for-profit membership organization nearly 2.6 million members strong. [It is] a Fortune 500 financial services organization with . . . more than $67 billion in assets under management." Thrivent sells life insurance and other financial products and services. It ranks 342nd on the Fortune 500 based on 2009 revenue of $6.514 billion.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

I purchased this because it was a supposed to be a perfect fit for the vehicle. NOT! Had to drill on undercarriage of right/rear side of vehicle. The L-shape brackets does not fit exactly the way it was on the instruction. Did the manufacturers really made exact measurements? Don't think so.

you're not a badass unless you have a hat
Why are all these contests on facebook? I love crunchyroll but i'm not getting a facebook for this stuff. I think they should just run them here on the site. I think a lot more people would participate in contests if they were directly on this site.
What other bands are playing since its at House of Blues...
Wolves don't worry about the opinions of sheep
DIR EN GREY is the most awesomeness, got tickets for 2 of their concerts already. but still LIKE this
Crunchyroll, please tell me, is this forced use of Facebook really getting you the additional publicity you want? As opposed to being less forceful and still getting publicity on Facebook?
I don't communicate on Facebook or Twitter, but I still find chances to promote and encourage use of Crunchyroll. I would believe that even if you weren't being so forceful, you'd still have people spreading word in the various popular mediums. I don't particularly believe the average person is going to react to seeing these Likes and think any differently of CR. I personally would only see the spam that Facebook is known for, and disassociate myself with that spam. Which I really did, on that specific logic, hence me dropping Facebook long ago.
On the other hand, friends speaking to friends good things about the subject has real meaning, as a friend's opinion is valued. A scenario such as a person excitedly telling his friends about a contest he won: naturally the winner is going to be in a good mood, thus will be talking in a similarly positive light. People spoken to are going to value that positivity. For example, when I won that ComiPo! contest, both through positive words and showing what it's capable of, I convinced 2 friends to get it eventually. And the possibility they may go on to spread it is great too. If it were a Facebook contest of the spam variety, my Liking and comment-entry would do nothing for them other than raise awareness of the contest, not immediate profit (I have solid evidence too in a Google+ contest I experimented in participating in, it had no impact on thoughts and opinions of my friends).
As I've implied, I think it is the wrong decision to forcefully promote on Facebook. Focus on reaching a large range where you make people happy enough that they would have something to talk to friends about. Being loose with the medium should more rapidly yield happy people that are beneficial. That seems like a faster route to profit for Crunchyroll.
Scavenger hunts and badge contests already have an upper hand in getting the end result; people will have more fun participating in them, ie. will be happpier. Thus there will be a higher level of happiness at the end, and higher probability of resulting socializing. (Note I still dislike badge contests, because of promoting dishonest entry.)
+1 TGX, that's an awesome post.
I have facebook, as of last week only because a friend was seriously hurt, and no one thought to contact me with a heads up...
In truth, TerraGamerX's logic matches up with my experience. Would be interested in hearing a response from CR about those numbers.
curse the day that crunchyroll ever got on facebook
Sorciére de Gré, Pucelle de Force
>x< i love this band since the beginning but i dont even live remotely close at all and thats the busy month.... TcT why is it always like this?
No Facebook for me either, but I live on the other coast, you know the one that gets jack so it doesn't matter anyway.
I don't live in California. Boooooooooooo
What it do homeslice?
Is there a reason you can't use your OWN site for contests? You have a FORUM >.>
my friend won this like 2 years ago and took me. was good

Fluticasone Propionate Savings Tips
Non-Prescription Version Available
This drug has an alternative available over the counter without a prescription.
If you're paying out of pocket (you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover this drug), this may be a less expensive option. However, if you have insurance that covers the prescription version, your co-pay may still be lower.
Keep in mind that some strengths and forms may only be available with a prescription.
Fill a 90-Day Supply to Save
You may find that filling a 90-day supply will reduce your total cost for this prescription. As an added bonus, you'll make fewer trips to the pharmacy, saving you time and money.
If you have insurance or Medicare, you may find that you receive lower prices if you fill your prescriptions through your plan's mail order pharmacy. Many insurance plans (and most Medicare plans) are now offering similar rates at a select group of "preferred" retail pharmacies. Some plans may require that you fill through a mail order pharmacy for fills of more than a 30-day supply.
To switch to 90-day fills, note that you'll need a new prescription from your doctor; a 30-day quantity prescription will not allow 90-day fills.

In the November issue, writer Melissa Gaskill takes readers to Lost Maples State Natural Area, a state park in Vanderpool that is famous for its beautiful fall foliage. Senior Editor Loir Moffatt visits here with park interpreter Richard Treece and park superintendent Shawn Greene about fall color, how to avoid the crowds (visit during the week if possible), and the capricious weather-whims of Mother Nature.
Shawn Greene: One thing to remember is that Mother Nature does what she wants to do. Fall color is dependent on several factors, the most important being temperature. Sometimes in October, we'll have two or three periods when the temperature gets down into the mid-30s. That triggers the trees to create and store sugar to get them through the winter and seed production in the spring. When we have 2-3 days in a row, that triggers the trees to change all at once, and you'll see brilliant, pretty color.
Richard Treece: But what has happened in the past few years is this: We've had no hard freezes; Octobers have been very mild. Thus the park changes in stages. The colors change in different parts of the park, gradually, and it'll continue for a long period. We've had changing color go as late as Thanksgiving
Shawn Greene: The gradual process is kind of nice in that it allows people to come during a wider time frame. It's not as brilliant as when we have a cold snap, but it lasts longer. Starting in October, we update our fall-foliage report on our website every week.
Richard Treece: It gets really busy in the fall. For those backpackers who want to come out and stay in the primitive camping area, they need to come in on Friday night. If they wait until Saturday to arrive, they'll likely get stuck in a long line of cars waiting to get into the park. On Saturdays and Sundays, we often average between 800-1,000 cars a day. And we have only 250 parking spots. So if you've made camping reservations, please don't wait until Saturday to arrive.
Once we start posting pictures, it's interesting to watch the progression. For example, I'll take a picture of a tree, and it's beautiful, and the next week, I might take a photo of the same tree, and it's a completely different photo. It all can change with one good, high wind.
Shawn Greene: Yes, and if we have a mild October, we may have good color in November. It's very hard to predict. In addition to temperature, other factors include moisture. Trees can have some of their best color in dry years. But if things are too dry, trees may produce a lot of seed for the next year—to ensure their survival—instead of expending energy to produce sugar and color. Normally, we tell people that the peak of our color happens somewhere before and around Veteran's Day, November 11. And then once the maples produce their color, you start seeing the Texas red oaks turning. My best description is that it looks like maroon Christmas ornaments in a green field.
Richard Treece: It's worth it to take a day off from work!

Lil Debbie is 30 minutes late, and she is high. This is clear because she tweets, "hella high at this L.A. Weekly interview," a few minutes after sitting down (38 retweets, 147 favorites), and because later, while telling a story, she blanks and says, "Honestly, I just smoke so much weed I forget sometimes."
It's important to note that she is also fabulous. The rapper's debut EP, Queen D, will be released this month on indie label Give n Go Sounds, and she has the easy confidence to match her self-proclaimed royalty. Tiny and platinum blond with Cleopatra eyeliner, the East Hollywood–based Debbie looks as if Tinkerbell fell out with the Lost Boys and fell in with a girl gang.
Her teal nails, tipped with gold stripes, pinch fries and deliver them to her mouth one by one as she explains her plans for the evening. "I'mma get tatted up tonight," she announces. The new ink — a hummingbird, a money sign and a California poppy (the state flower) — will bring her grand total to 21 tattoos, and she plans to get them done in typical Lil Debbie style, i.e., without planning out much in advance. "I'm, like, really ghetto with my tattoos," she says.
Born Jordan Capozzi, the 23-year-old befriended fellow Oakland rappers Kreayshawn (Natassia Zolot) and V-Nasty (Vanessa Reece) when she was 15, and the three of them formed the White Girl Mob, a Caucasian crew dedicated to brassy, bold lyrics and looks that were gaudy but great. In 2011, they found viral success overnight with the release of Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci" video.
In the three-minute spot, for which Debbie served as a hype woman and stylist, she and Kreayshawn hang out on Fairfax in white tees and gold jewelry while the latter rhymes about her distaste for luxury brands and "basic bitches." The group's sugar-spice good looks and Bay Area street cred, combined with the "based rap" trend that linked their names to others like Lil B, helped further their success. But the viral video and Kreayshawn's deal with Columbia soon led to tension in the posse. Four months after "Gucci Gucci" blew up, the other members kicked Debbie out.
Recriminations in the form of all-caps tweets included accusations that "swag jacker" Debbie skipped Kreayshawn's birthday and just wasn't active enough in the group. (Now, Debbie complains about too many rules and a hierarchy created by a manager who worried about Kreayshawn and no one else.) Not long after, V-Nasty, who came under fire for using the N-word, also left the now-defunct outfit. "Motherfuckers just grow apart," she told L.A. Weekly in an interview earlier this year.
Debbie and V-Nasty now are friends again, but she and Kreayshawn are not. "It doesn't really matter," Debbie says, pulling at her gold hoops and adding that, seeing as Kreayshawn recently had a son: "There's nothing to say about us anymore. You can't really talk about a mom."
In fact, she's thankful the trio split up. "It's sad — I feel like White Girl Mob could have gotten bigger than what it ended up being, but I'm thankful that I'm in my position, because I don't really see what anyone else is doing right now," she says. "I ended up being MVP, and nobody even knew it."
This is a slagging off of Kreayshawn but a curious one, considering that Kreayshawn's name is synonymous with a hit song, while Debbie's highest-profile release, a mixtape hosted by DJ Fletch called Keep It Lit, hasn't gotten much traction. "I have real hits, real bangers, real fun stuff," Debbie says, when asked about the difference between her solo songs and Kreayshawn's. "I'm not talking about weird shit. I didn't try to go to alternative rap. I stuck to what I normally do and did my ratchet, my bitches."
She means this literally. Queen D features a song called "Bitches" followed by one called "Ratchets," which boasts more swagger than substance. In the video, she oozes bravado in front of black backup dancers, the kind of thing that tends to inspire the sort of racial-appropriation critiques that Miley Cyrus has been receiving. (In fact, Lil Debbie's fans complain that the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana stole Debbie's style, from the all-white styling and black backup dancers to her use of said "ratchet" aesthetic.)
Since moving from Oakland to L.A. for the second time more than a year ago, Lil Debbie's output has been mixed. She paired with another gaudily dressed, zeitgeisty white rapper, Riff Raff, for YouTube hits including "Squirt," ("rap game Betty Crocker, in Versace boxers"), "Brain Freeze" ("When it comes to houses, I've got more spots than a Dalmatian") and "Michelle Obama" ("I just wanna have some fun, Cindy Lauper").
Although Debbie's voice can be shrill, and she doesn't possess what you'd call traditional MC skills, the videos have more than a million views each, thanks in large part to the force of both personalities.
The video for Queen D's single "Bake a Cake" finds Debbie dressed like a red-light Marie Antoinette, mixing batter. Everything from the gauche gold set design to the tips of her unnervingly long white nails was her idea; having dropped out of the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (she studied at both the San Francisco and Los Angeles campuses), she now takes particular pride in the concept and styling of her videos.
"I know what I want to wear, and I'm very picky," she says. "I never go on-set and just have clothes there I've never seen. I would freak out."
When it comes to the bigger picture, however, Debbie is less hands-on. iTunes notes Queen D's release date as Oct. 22, but until recently her next planned project was a mixtape called California's Sweetheart, which her manager bluntly asks her not to discuss on the record.
In general, her place in pop culture remains unclear, and she contends that she's "broke as fuck," sometime between hitting up her manager for french fries, noting that she shares an apartment with a roommate, and saying she opts for the cheaper Calvin Klein weed strain from Kush Collective on La Brea. "What I wear, I wear every day and buy with my own money."

Getting signed to a larger label is definitely the goal. "They pay for your song placement, bitches get surgery, you know what I'm saying?"
In the meantime, she just wants to release enough material to build her social media following (including more than 100,000 Twitter followers) into a successful independent debut.
Although her interest in fashion is on the back burner, she's working on a number of one-off design projects and plans to one day release her own line — "nothing too bougey." She wants to move out of L.A., which she calls "poisoning" and "delusional," to the East Coast. In five years, Debbie plans to be "on a private jet, hot-boxing on my way to Italy, like, 'What's up, biiiiitches?'?"
She has a lot of work left to do. But first, she has to survive those tattoos tonight. "That's it, though," she says, looking at the empty space on her left arm. "No more after that. That shit hurts."

New York Knicks sign Jeremy TylerPosted by Inside Hoops
Aug 6
Big Jeremy Tyler played well summer league this year, and has been rewarded with a contract.
New York Knicks Executive Vice President and General Manager Glen Grunwald announced today that the team has signed Tyler. Terms of the deal aren't yet known, but will be added to this page tonight or tomorrow.
Tyler, 6-10, 260-pounds, holds career averages of 3.6 points and 2.5 rebounds over 10.1 minutes in 63 games (23 starts) over two seasons with Golden State and Atlanta. He appeared in 21 games with the Warriors and Hawks last season, recording 22 total points and 20 rebounds over 68 minutes, before finishing the season with Santa Cruz of the NBA D-League.
The San Diego, CA native averaged 12.8 points and 6.4 rebounds over 17.6 minutes in five games for New York's entry in the 2013 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, NV. He was originally selected by Charlotte in the second round (39th overall) of the 2011 NBA Draft before having his draft rights traded to Golden State. Tyler left San Diego HS, following his junior season, to play internationally with Maccabi Haifa (Israel) and Tokyo Apache (Japan) for two seasons, before becoming draft eligible.

When technology recruitment company Anteo Group placed an online advertisement for a senior Java analyst programmer paying between £45,000 and £50,000 in January, something unprecedented happened: it did not receive a single reply. Mike Smith, Anteo Group's UK director of sales, says it was only when the client raised the salary to £58,000 that they eventually filled the role.
Not everyone is celebrating, however. CIOs are not feeling wage inflation or the bulge of more money in their pay packets.
Steve Anderson IT director and partner at construction advisory services company Davis Langdon & Everest says: "From speaking with my colleagues in the industry, I still think the market is fairly flat for IT director salaries."
Phil Pavitt, CIO at cable and telecommunications company NTL, agrees it is a buyers market and that CIOs' basic salaries are down by about 25 per cent on where they were two or three years ago but that the overall packages, including bonuses and stock options, are higher today.
All the recruitment specialists who spoke to MIS UK say that CIO and IT director salaries continue to stagnate.
Cathy Holley, partner at CIO headhunter Boyden UK, says: "At the moment there are very few CIO jobs coming up. There are a lot of fantastic CIOs out there at home or on gardening leave. Companies do not have to pay. It is still a buyers' market for companies looking to hire."
Smith agrees: "Senior IT executive rates are still down on where they were three or four years ago. CIO salaries are down by as much as 20 per cent."
Well-paid profession
The reality is that most CIOs – especially those at FTSE 100 companies – are extremely well paid with a top dog earning as much as a £2m salary and performance-related bonus. However, Pavitt says: "£2m for a CIO role is bullshit. I've received a number of calls from headhunters looking for CIO positions and they range around £300,000." Supporting his views, Robin Barrett, senior vice-president of technologies at American Express, said he had been approached by about three FTSE 100 CIO roles in the past 18 months offering a basic between £200,000 and £300,000. On top of this, companies tend to pay a performance-related bonus of between 25 and 50 per cent, he says.
For the FTSE 250 companies the basic salary shoots up to between £350,000 and £600,000, adds Barrett.
Business remains extremely cautious about throwing money at IT. Smith says: "Companies are not really bringing on massive projects." Of course, this has a dampening affect on the amount they pay incumbent IT chiefs or any newcomers. "Over the past three years, companies have been looking at IT very much from a cost perspective and in terms of adding value to the business," says Smith.
Pavitt says: "Some companies have become disappointed that IT has not delivered on its promises. In the last 12 months they have cut costs everywhere and are starting to look at the huge sums spent on IT with the promise of jam tomorrow. Companies are wanting to see value for money."
One ominous consequence of this lack of delivery is that about 20 per cent of FTSE 250 companies have axed their head of IT or CIO, according to Pavitt. Since the dot-com crash, organisations have also changed how they pay IT directors and CIOs in terms of basic salary, stock options and bonuses. Performance-related bonuses now account for a much bigger portion of CIO remuneration packages.
Big bonuses
"Previously, in the early days bonuses were typically between 30 and 40 per cent of salary. But now companies are measuring the contribution made by CIOs to the company and bonuses are typically between 60 and 100 per cent of salary," says Holley.
"The CIO – who was once considered to be a support role – is now much more pivotal to the company and the bonus element of their pay is considerably increased." Barrett agrees: "I think the US model is being applied much more over here, as we are starting to see the performance-related bonus component account for more of the total compensation."
But as the black art of IT is notoriously difficult to measure – and often highly subjective – Smith reckons that most senior IT executives collect their bonuses regardless of how they perform.
"I think that most companies pay bonuses irrespective of whether they deliver or not. How do you define delivery? You can make the statistics look as good or bad as you want," he says.
Of course, bonuses tend to be much lower at smaller companies. Steve Lamb, IT director at estate agency Spicerhaart, says that about 15 per cent of his salary comes from performance-related bonus, based on two criteria. First the IT department's effectiveness and speed of delivery, against benchmarks including service level agreements. Second, IT's contribution to the overall profitability of the company. Meanwhile, CIOs are also calling the shots in refusing to substitute hefty stock options for a lower basic salary.
Going for the cash
Simon La Fosse, a director at IT executive search company Harvey Nash, says: "People are discounting share options. They are not prepared to accept a lower salary for options. They want the cash in their back pocket."
Holley agrees: "Essentially candidates are no longer buying this jam tomorrow story." To get to the negotiating table in the first place, CIOs must have certain skills. Holley says there are specific tickboxes: including experience of negotiating a large outsourcing contract; international experience and the ability to manage a large team and budget.
With outsourcing, La Fosse says it is the experience "not only of negotiating contracts, but also of driving value out of third-party partnerships as a critical competency".
The role of CIO has two main functions, says Holley. First, they need to show outstanding leadership and management of the technology function. Second, they must act as a peer to the board, guiding the business and IT strategy of the company. "If you are a board member you are there to drive the company forward and discuss every topic the board wants to discuss from corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, international experience, profit and loss and human resources. Very slowly CEOs are beginning to realise that the CIO role has very little to do with technology," says Holley.
CIOs with these skills appear to be few and far between, says Barrett. "There is a definite shortage of top CIOs with both the business and technology skills, who will move technology beyond the realm of cutting expenses to generating value." As a result, there is an elite force of IT chiefs at the UK's biggest organisations who can command bulging pay packets.
At the top
"In the top echelons there are the usual suspects who are known to be top-notch CIOs and there is not a significant adding to that pool. Finding individuals with those skills is very tough and therefore compensation is increasing," says Barrett. It is much easier to hire CIOs outside of this select group. "In the mid-range there is not a significant increase in pay above inflation."
The reality is that when companies start investing heavily in IT projects again CIO salaries are likely to follow. Many are probably just waiting for the dust to settle after the turbulence of the past four years.
As Anderson says: "It has been bedlam over the past few years. There was the run up to Y2K, the dot-com boom, a surge in projects and promotions of IT directors onto the board. I think this period has separated the wheat from the chaff."
When asked if the golden days of CIO salaries are over, Anteo Group's Smith says they are "just beginning". Furthermore, recruitment consultants do not see any evidence that companies are ditching the position of CIO, as technology becomes increasingly pivotal to their future prospects.
Smith says: "Technology is the way forward in terms of increasing productivity and efficiency. Salaries have to come back unless you can come up with another way of improving businesses going forward."/p>
