BDM is one of several federal contractors seeking a future in state and local government markets
"The move into state and local governments is picking up steam," said Robert Dornan, senior vice president of McLean, Va.-based Federal Sources Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in federal, state and local infotech markets.
In addition to BDM, companies such as Science Applications International Corp., PRC, Anderson, EDS
and Oracle are all focusing increased efforts on capturing state and local government contracts.
Historically, the commercial groups of large corporations were responsible for winning local and state government business. But that strategy wasn't working too well because commercial groups tended to take "the path of least resistance, the path that brought in the most money," and those deals weren't with local governments, Dornan said.
Now companies are giving their federal divisions a chance to try their hand at winning state and local government business.
The people who are used to dealing with the federal government have an easier time managing the bureaucracies and the frustrating procurement issues that companies face when selling to any government, Dornan said. These individuals need patience to deal with each locality's peculiarities -- patience that workers in the
federal units presumably learned dealing with the federal bureaucracy.
BDM Federal is one such firm that is looking at the 30,000 jurisdictions around the United States as a way to supplement its federal business. BDM Federal, which still earns 60 percent of its revenues from the Department of Defense, is concentrating on providing information technologies to schools. BDM Federal is creating an information system for Prince William County Public Schools in Virginia, Washoe County, Nev., schools, and most recently won the deal for Dayton public schools.
"This contract with the Dayton Public Schools further confirms BDM's position as the nation's leading K-12 information technology systems integrator," said Odeen in announcing the award in April.

For some reason, according to many on the Left, because some Western males have committed acts of rape this somehow justifies the illegal immigrants with the barbaric Stone Age way of life also committing rapes when they come to a Western country. And if anyone in the West points out that rape is vile they are called racist and shouted down with the point made again that men in the West have committed rapes.
Yes, Western men have but it isn't the bulk of Western men who commit such acts or think that it's OK to do so. Many more are for women's rights and rightly condemn any form of sexual assault and oppression of women's rights. Meanwhile a very large number of people of both genders from the Stone Age cultures think it's perfectly fine to assault women and that women are just playthings.
As far as Western men committing rapes, you don't fix the situation by dropping the borders for cultures that encourage it. The fact that lowlifes in the West have done it doesn't somehow justify anyone else doing it. The Leftist 'logic' says there is a problem in the West, let's drop our borders and make it many times worse.
So let's look at what's happening to Europe with its current invasion. Many blonde women in Sweden are dyeing their hair to make themselves less of a target for rape. Women are being told not to go out at night unaccompanied. Schoolgirls are being told to cover up to avoid being raped by illegals. Festivals have been cancelled. Extra police are now needed for special events. Basically women can't go about their lawful business without the high risk of being raped. Where are Europe's so called feminists you may ask? Leading the charge to make excuses for the illegals' actions
Conveniently overlooked by the pro rape Leftists is that the Stone Age cultures they defend also encourage female genital mutilation (FGM) which robs females of their sexuality. This is on top of women already being reduced to an uneducated sexual plaything at a young age. The Leftist side of politics is notoriously silent on things such as this though.
In a last ditch attempt to forward their lack of argument a Leftist will ask you what's the difference then if some Western men are committing rapes. It's simple, Western culture condemns rape while the Stone Age cultures invading the West condone it and encourage it.

If humans are ignoring these heart rendering incidents, then humanity must be ashamed
If humans are ignoring these heart rendering incidents, then humanity must be ashamed
Prof. Firdoos Ahmad Itoo
Global and regional implications aside, the instability and lack of any conclusive resolution to the political dispute have left the population of Kashmir divided and uncertain about their future.
Kashmir, indeed a land of immense beauty, once a burgeoning tourist industry, had faded completely in the face of military incursions and militant activity.
Therefore, resolving the Kashmir dispute has thus never acquired more urgency than it has today.
Death of Prof. Rafi, a forty hour-old rebel, during a gunfight with the government forces and murder of young 22 year-old Thirumani, a tourist from Chennai, by stone-throwers, explains the worsening situation of the Valley. And if humans are ignoring such heart rendering incidents, then humanity must be ashamed.
Similarly politicians, this time shouldn't deck themselves behind the veil of political gimmick what they called as collateral damage, but should raise above their ideologies and work together for reasonable and logical conclusion of Kashmir issue.
Continuous suppression and undermining episodes of this kind will only serve injustice to humanity at large.
Both the incidents are so painful that no human heart will ever wish to witness such thing in his life. The once political problem had turned into crisis now.
But, unfortunately stakeholders are not ready to get up from their slumber. When we all are going to realize that Homo sapiens are not meant for this hell, but, they' deserves respect even during the times when disagreement is there.
Stone-throwing on tourist is no way a Kashmiri culture. This mischief had brought shame to all of us.
Surely, one day murderer has to answer his Lord. Such heinous crime needs not only condemnation but whole Kashmir should apologies to the father of deceased.
We, as a Kashmiri better know that how much painful it is to lose a son at such young age?
Those who are really well-wishers of Kashmir should pen down the misery of Kashmir in small pamphlets and then distribute the same to anyone who comes to visit this place. A civilized group of people is characterized by being socially and technologically advanced.
Education would definitely serve the cause and this stone pelting is a trait of mental sickness. Such people should visit doctor instead of creating havoc at public places.
Nonetheless, K-issue is multi-dimensional and demands creative approach. But, unfortunately the hostile condition between India and Pakistan from last 70 years, had ruined this paradise on earth called Kashmiri.
'Both countries had mostly adopted the defection strategy, playing the dilemma games like that of a chess game.' It has been well depicted by the researcher, Ron E. Hassner, that over the years, the Kashmir dispute has become so entrenched in the polity of India and Pakistan that it is no more plausible to think that either of the two would be willing to give up their claim over Kashmir entirely.
Similarly, Saeed Ahmed Rid substantiates Hassner's view point by writing that: "The Kashmir conflict is not a simple inter-state territorial dispute, which involves two clearly defined parties with two choices. Along with India and Pakistan, it involves intra-state and international actors whose role is also very important in the final outcome. The United States, China, freedom fighters, Kashmiri governments in the two parts of Kashmir, and the people of the state are the other stakeholders…"
Hostility is no way a solution. India and Pakistan should learn from United States and North Korea who few months before were spitting venom against each other and now Singapore is going to witness them shaking hands and transferring friendly gestures towards each other. This is how politics is run.
Hence, multi-track processes of peace building majors need to take place and that too without any break, in order to generate an atmosphere of trust and reduce misperceptions between India and Pakistan. Before relations can improve, a new atmosphere of trust and support is needed.
If both the countries are looking for prosperity then across the borders an initiative with regard to debating the K-issue should be started on regular basis and within each country politicizing of K-issue should banned.
For tensions to deescalate, therefore, a lot depends on how both countries behave towards each other both internationally as well as internally.
The path of peace may be very risky and even cumbersome, but in a situation where total war is no more an option, the peace is the only logical option left for India and Pakistan.
India and Pakistan in their seventy years of history had fought many wars and the real threat of a fourth 'nuclear' war is just hanging around, therefore it is necessary for both, India and Pakistan, to move beyond their idealistic posturing towards substantive discussions on Kashmir.
Both India and Pakistan have contesting claims of sovereignty over the territory of Jammu and Kashmir. They both raised their claims at the UN and also the fight for the Kashmir several times in the past. The majority of the population of the Kashmir is now fed up with this dispute.
Kashmiris have paid a terrible price. Apart from the terrible suffering and deprivation, the people of Kashmir have suffered and are suffering.
Therefore, realization should emerge upon the leadership of India and Pakistan that if they continue fighting over Kashmir in the same manner, it will take them nowhere.
The sad truth is that an abiding resolution to the conflict over Jammu Kashmir may have to wait until India and Pakistan are able to reinvent their relationship, and to re-imagine it free of hiccups may perhaps take generations.
The greatest hindrance to growth and cooperation in South Asia has been the seventy years of old Kashmir crisis between India and Pakistan.
The roots of the crisis extend to the catastrophic Partition of the two countries in 1947, when the British government left the region after a 250-year period of rule characterized by exploitation and divide-and-conquer tactics.
Kashmir which appears to be an unending conflict between India and Pakistan is actually the root cause of instability and hostility in South Asia. Kashmiris feel victimized; Pakistan feels that it has been cheated for 70 years; and India feels that it is a victim of terrorism.
Hence to bring three parties on single table is although a herculean task but not impossible.
In this connection the citizens of India and Pakistan can together help their politicians when they' will collectively treat K-issue above politics.
And for that it is important for politicians of both the countries that they should identify the low hanging fruits and similarly start focusing on them. Education, tourism, environment, women issues, health are other cultural issues may probably help to bring two antagonists closer to each other.
As said by Vajpayeeji that, "Friends can be changed but not the neighbors."
Hence, it is fruitful for both countries; India and Pakistan, to shun out the hostile path and try to build relations which may help their people to live a dignified life.

ACG CLTR 1 Tee Night Purple / Bright Mandarin
£30.00 £25.00 £21.00 £17.50
- 58% cotton, 42% polyester
- Lightweight fabric
- 'ACG' detailing
- Regular fit
This is the CLTR 1 Tee from Nike's ACG (All Conditions Gear, for those allergic to acronyms) wing. Since its inception in 1989, Nike's range of mountain-friendly wares has always been exactly what it says on the proverbial tin: it's gear, for all conditions — from perilous cliff-face escapades to wet 'n' wild mountain bike mud-fests.
We know t-shirts aren't normally front and center when 'outdoor wear' is on the table, but something about this one that makes us think we could huck it up Scafell Pike in a matter of minutes in it. Perhaps it's that tasteful cotton/polyester blend fabric, or maybe it's those eye-watering graphic prints; we're not sure. But next time we're on a mountaineering expedition, or embarking on a arduous jaunt to Tesco, we don't want to be without this doozy.

30 Days of Gratitude: Day 18
Today I am grateful for things being as they are. I know that may sound odd, but think about it. It could be a lot worse. I could be without a job, without a home, and not knowing where my next meal is coming from. Instead I have a job (for now and will find one again soon), I have a place to live, and I know I am going to be ok. Life is pretty good to me, all things considered.

The Beauty of Medical Esthetics at Spa Utopia
Did you know that Medi-Spa treatments are among the many popular beauty-enhancing services available from Spa Utopia?
Our Medical Esthetics Photo Therapy treatments include Photo Rejuvenation, Skin Tightening and Laser Hair Removal. All treatments are administered by our highly skilled Medical Skin Care Therapists, who have received comprehensive training from medical practitioners for these advanced technologies. In addition, each has successfully completed our extensive in-house training requirements and is committed to ensuring a successful and safe outcome for your procedure/s.
For all three therapies (which are available to men and women), you will be required to have a prior consultation with a Spa Utopia Medical Skin Care Therapist. The nominal fee for this consultation is applied to your subsequent treatment/s.
Photo Rejuvenation
Skin Care Therapist to precisely treat fine wrinkles, age and sun spots, small facial veins (capillaries), and rosacea.
During your initial consultation, you will receive an indepth analysis of your skin and may also have a photograph taken with a UV camera. This highly specialized photography provides details of damage to the skin caused by the sun, and which may not be visible to the naked eye. Your treatment will be tailored to suit your skin's condition and your desired results.
BBL therapy delivers pulsed light onto the skin which gently heats it. The heat is absorbed by the targeted cells, encouraging collagen production and destroying the melanin that causes hyperpigmentation and age spots. Small capillaries are gently, but effectively eliminated. The flushing associated with rosacea is also effectively reduced through BBL treatment. These targeted treatments are achieved through the use of different filters.
You can read more about Photo Rejuvenation here.
BBL treatment is available at our Langley and North Vancouver locations.
Skin Tightening
Fast and gentle, Skin Tyte™ delivers light energy (heat) to the dermis through a specific filter while keeping the surface of the skin cool. The energy absorbed by the targeted area stimulates your skin to increase collagen production. The collagen fibers continue to strengthen after your treatment and you will see improved results over the months ahead.
You can read more about Skin Tightening here.
Skin Tightening is available at both our Langley and North Vancouver locations.
Laser Hair Removal
Our LightSheer™ diode laser system is the recognized gold standard in laser hair removal. This exciting technology offers a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair on the face, back, legs, bikini line or any other body area. The LightSheer™ is non-invasive, gentle on sensitive areas like the lip and underarms, and effectively treats unwanted hair on all skin types, including ethnic and dark complexions.
The LightSheer™ works by sending pulses of light to the hair follicles, where natural pigments absorb the light. This destroys the existing hair and inhibits regrowth. At the same time, the surface of your skin is kept cool and comfortable. Most people achieve permanent hair reduction and clinical studies show that if some hairs do return, they are typically lighter and less dense than prior to laser treatment. LightSheer™ treatments are tolerated very well, and you can generally return to work and resume all regular activities immediately.
You can read more about Laser Hair Removal here.
Laser Hair Removal is available at our Langley and North Vancouver location.
A word about photo aging...
A Photo Rejuvenation or Skin Tightening treatment at Spa Utopia will help restore your skin to a more youthful appearance, and encourage fresh collagen production. However, the best way to "treat" skin aging is to prevent it in the first place! A good sun protection program, strictly adhered to, will prevent sun damage (photo aging) such as wrinkling and age spots—and, if you have had a photo therapy treatment, will ensure the results last as long as possible).
Shop online for Pro-Derm™ products here.
For more information on Medical Esthetic treatments at Spa Utopia, please contact our Langley location at 604-539-8772 or North Vancouver location at 604-980-3977 for information and booking for any of the three treatments. Please remember that prior to any treatment, you will be asked to book a consultation with a Medical Skin Care Therapist.

Laser hair removal using Intense Pulse Light (IPL) offers a quick, safe and comfortable way to eliminate unwanted facial and body hair for men and women. More advanced than even lasers, IPL is the first photo-epilation technology proven to treat unwanted hair safely on most skin types and hair color.

Philip Glass: Orpheé; Portland Opera, Anne Manson
This will certainly please fans of Glass, and is a fascinating example of how his late style is developing. Like La Belle et la Bête, this is an operatic adaptation of an accidental libretto, i.e. the script from a Cocteau movie. It suffers from the same problematic detail, Glass trying to wedge the French phrases, diction and meter into his fairly rigid style, which produces a mix of good vocal music and parts where the singers have to try and spit out the words with compressed desperation. That being said, the music is fine and surprising. After going through a polytonal period, Glass seems to be synthesizing different structural ideas into his usual juxtaposition of phrases, and he's using a lot of rhythms that are new to him. Large sections sound more than a little like ragtime/cakewalk in a way that is completely charming and adds drama and expression. As always, he quotes himself, even using sections identical to the previous work, but this new piece is mostly fresh and winning, seemingly fine live performances at the Portland Opera from the musicians, the conductor and a large cast, especially Philip Cutlip in the title role, and a good recording.
An interesting interview, but Ainsley is wrong about Cocteau being the first to use special effects in movies. Georges Melies, anyone?
Mahler: Songs with Orchestra ; Susan Graham, Thomas Hampson, San Francisco Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas
The final CD in Tilson Thomas' Mahler cycle is as good as one would expect. Hampson is great in the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and Graham is even better – deeply expressive, supple, beautiful tone – in the Rückert-Lieder. The set is rounded off with five selections from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the last track is "Urlicht." The playing and conducting are beyond exquisite, the SACD sound is like sitting inside the orchestra. SFS Media has produced the finest Mahler cycle, by far – nothing else is in the same league in terms of playing, musicality, expression. One may not agree with the interpretive choices, but there is no Mahler playing like this. The only drawback is the price of the discs, which for Mahler lovers should be no object, but perhaps down the road the producers might repackage it all in a box, for their additional profit and at some savings to the consumer.
Arvo Pärt: Symphony No. 4, Kanon Pokajanen ; Los Angeles Philharmonic, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Estonia Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Tönu Kaljuste
Severely beautiful, and very welcome on CD (the only previous recording had been an iTunes download in the DG Concerts series). Pärt is slowly, inexorably exploring Neo-Romanticism, and his Symphony No. 4 is minimalist in the way Bruckner is minimalist, a large, open scale architecture filled with repeated, small scale gestures. The second, "Affannoso" movement is mesmerizing. The make-weight, excerpts from his Kanon Pokajanen , is luminous, but considering ECM is rehashing this material and charging full price for the CD, it's not a great value.
Steve Reich: Double Sextet, 2×5 ; eighth blackbird, Bang on Can
Reich is always good, and these are his finest pieces since City Life. It's also the most sheerly enjoyable Reich recording out there. Double Sextet is like Hard-Bop Reich, taking elements of the "blues" of the early masterpiece, Four Organs, filtering it through the developments of Three Tales, and creating a piece of music that swings more than anything I've heard from him. It's extroverted, basically simple but not simplistic. 2×5 is Reich as Prog-Rock and is not far removed from ultra-high order King Crimson; shimmering guitar, razor edge, interlocking complex rhythms, even a drum kit. The former piece won the Pulitzer, the latter may be even better. Great performances and a great CD.
P.S. The baby seemed to dig Mahler and Reich the best.

OrigiNative® Sourcing
Bringing our farming and ranching practices back to a more original and native state
At Halo, our goal is to deliver the healthiest, most bioavailable and holistic whole food nutrition possible to our companion animals, while fostering farming practices that treat our life-giving animals in a manner that is sustainable, natural, non-degrading to our environment, and respectful of every animal's normal life-cycle. We call this OrigiNative® sourcing. For example, when we restore native animal species like Bison to the Grasslands, they revitalize habitats, form water-retention wallows, and create food and sanctuary for other animals around them, like birds.
We reject the factory farm model of close confinement, animals raised with antibiotics, and genetically modified feeds. Instead, we foster naturally raised animals, regenerative soils, and environmental balance.
By sourcing cage free poultry, pasture raised beef, and wild caught fish from certified sustainable fisheries, Halo strives to deliver natural protein sources that not only harken back to an era where ALL of our animals were respected but also serves to provide our companion animals with the high-quality proteins and nutrients they need for good health, shiny coats, and long lives at our sides.
HOLISTIC. WHOLE. HUMANE... Third‑Party Certification

Atlus has changed their guidelines on what players can and can't stream in Persona 5.
Previously, Atlus recommended players not the stream past the 7/7 in-game date. Now, the publisher has taken a step back and now says players can stream beyond that.
We recognize that our fans are the reason why the game is the major worldwide success it is, and we continue to want them to be able to enjoy the game without fear of being spoiled. However, we also heard your issues with the guidelines and have decided to revise them. Because we want to give players the most access to the game while respecting the original goal, we're now asking players to refrain from streaming or posting video past the end of the in-game date of 11/19—when the main story gears up for the final act.
We also want to apologize to those of you who saw the previous guidelines blog post as threatening. We want to be transparent about what we do, and the reason we released the guidelines was to give streamers the right information up front. It was never our intention to threaten people with copyright strikes, but we clearly chose the wrong tone for how to communicate this.
Atlus has not commented on whether or not they will allow the share functions on the PlayStation 4 in the future.

In the last few days of the school holidays after seeing my effort at blocking my squares, Kimberley found her crochet hook again and was re-invigorated to start something.
Its been a while since she set her first crocheting attempt to the side.There was an afternoon last week where I was joined in the lounge by Kimberley crocheting, and then Jord's wanted to try it (but gave up after 30 seconds...!) and Emma - 4yrs. Emma sat with her 5 chains that I started her with, twirling and whirling her yarn over and around her hook for about half an hour telling us that she was making a blanket for Zac, and also a hat for Nadia. Her ball of yarn still sits to the side with her hook and 5 chain! :)
A simple granny square was made, and she thoroughly enjoyed blocking her square on some cork board. Then another square was made and blocked, and hung up near my board with squares, and last night she got started on the third one.
Ok, I change colours for her, but by the third block she has made a slip knot at the beginning and has started her self off, and she quite happily finishes all her ends in too! A few 'whoopsies' with counting of trebles, but that is all part of learning.
Her two main colours are white edges with the pink somewhere in the block, and any other 'off-cuts' of my yarn stash she can use for the other two rows.
What a pity school has started again...
Back to crocheting by myself during 'quiet time'.

I've been off work all week to put the final touches to my solo exhibition I am having this week, so I thought I would treat myself to some out of studio time and head to another exhibition, Imitation of Life: Melodrama and Race in the 21st Century a Home Manchester.
The exhibition has a range of works commenting on the representations of people of colour in the US and Europe within the last 15 years.
Film, digital art, installations, sculptures, paintings, it's all here.
From Jasyon Musson's ART THOUGHTZ: How to be a successful Black Artist video, to Lauren Halsey's colourful and striking wall of weaves (We The Ones(blackngold))
Two of my other favourite pieces were Larry Achiampong's collages, Glyth
And Martine Syms installation S1 : E1 about the representation of blackness in American sitcoms which featured a film that is really worth watch.
I left feeling really good and excited to get my exhibition out into the world.
A lot of the pieces are to do with representation of POC in popular culture, so was great to see something with similar themes.
Imitation of Life runs until 3rd July.
My exhibition, What, Is She Black Now? runs until Saturday 21st May.

Jordan Gets $500 Million World Bank Financing to Support Reforms
(Bloomberg) -- The World Bank extended $500 million in concessional financing to Jordan to support economic reforms, a month after protests against tax hikes brought the government down.
The funds consist of a $111 million grant from the Global Concessional Financing Facility and a $389 million non-concessional portion with a final maturity of 35 years. The financing is designed to promote inclusive economic growth, create more jobs and afford more efficient social assistance, the World Bank said in statement.
For decades, Jordan has relied on the U.S. and Gulf allies to prop up its economy, and the inflow of some 1.5 million refugees from Iraq and Syria strained its finances further. In 2016, it secured a $723 million loan from the International Monetary Fund to support a three-year program of reforms including tax hikes.
A proposal to raise the income tax touched off mass protests that forced the cabinet to resign last month. After a new government was installed, Saudi Arabia and two Persian Gulf nations pledged $2.5 billion to help support Jordan's economy, including guarantees to the World Bank.

Five Dallas area McDonald's will begin accepting "toll tags" for payment at their drive-thrus. Drivers purchase toll tags so they can fly through toll booths at 70 mph. (Don't get me started on that one!) Now, they can zip through the McDonald's, place their order, and have the payment transmitted from their toll tag. For details, check the Dallas Morning News.
Just somebody promise me that I'm not gonna get killed by some maniac going 60 mph with a Big Mac in one hand and a cell phone in the other. I just thank God that they don't have toll-tag enabled, drive-thru Starkbuck's. Yet.

Taxi Tales & Urban Legends
Published: 02/07/2014 - Filed under: Home » Archive » 2014 » July/August 2014 » Special Reports » Home » Features »
Recent headlines have drawn travelers' attention to a spate of labor actions by cabbies in cities all over Europe. They're protesting the introduction of the high-tech startup Uber, which bills itself as a "transportation network company." The taxi drivers see Uber and other disruptive ridesharing technologies as a threat to their traditional livelihood. Cabbies contend that such app-based services have an unfair advantage because they're not subject to the same fees and regulations placed on conventional taxis.
In fact, taxicabs and the people who drive them are very much a product of their urban environments. Thus the quality – and the cost – of a cab ride can vary wildly from city to city from Zurich to Shanghai. So the editors of Business Traveler Magazine around the globe have compared notes from our common cab ride dramas to round up the best and the worst taxi experiences in the world.
New York
Big Yellow Taxi
The models may change, but Yellow rules: Yellow Cabs have plied the streetscape of Manhattan for over a century.
What and Where? You can't miss them, on the one hand because of their bright yellow color and on the other hand, because they are so numerous. New York taxis – Yellow Medallion Cabs – are the ideal way to get around in Manhattan. They are operated by private companies and certified by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission. You'll know the official taxis by the medallion, a large metal plaque affixed to the hood in plain sight.
How Do You Get One?Taxis seem to be ubiquitous on Manhattan's streets, so you should be able to find a cab in short order (unless it's raining). They have three lights on the roof; when the middle one is lit, that means the ride's available – if it's dark, they already have a fare or are off duty.
How much?As you get in the cab, you'll notice the meter already shows the basic fare of $2.50. Thereafter, each 1/5 mile (at 6 mph) or every minute of wait time or slow going costs an additional $0.50. There are also various fees for night fares or tunnels and bridges. Airport trips will make you dig a little deeper into your pocket: To JFK International airport the official flat fare is $52 plus tolls and tip. From Manhattan to Newark International the total is the amount on the meter plus $17.50 and all tolls for bridges and tunnels both out and back. For the trip to LaGuardia you pay what's on the meter. It's best to have cash; while most cab drivers accept credit cards, not all do. And don't forget to tip – usually 15 to 20 percent. You'll find the website taxifarefinder.com/rates offers good guidelines.
What's Not to Like?When it rains, New York streets descend into chaos – and getting a taxi well nigh impossible. So you can either duck into the subway or stand in the downpour waving a large wad of cash… But all jokes aside, a good option is Taxi Magic, an app for android and iPhone that allows you to easily book a cab in advance.

London Keep Calm and Carry On
Black taxis are as iconic to London streets as red double-decker buses – and their drivers are the best-trained world.
What and Where?Everybody knows London taxis – black and beefy, best known as "Black Cabs" or "hackney carriages" and wonderfully comfortable. The sign on the roof means something; when it's lit, it means the car is available. Black Cab drivers must pass a rigorous examination before they can take the wheel of a taxi. This makes them the perfect city guides, who not only know all the sights but the history behind them. Even if your cab fare seems extravagant, a trip with them is worth every penny.
How Do You Get One?As in many other European cities, you can hail taxis on the street (but only Black Cabs), at taxi stands (which you'll find at larger train stations, at hotels and at the airports) or you can book a car in advance.
How much?Fares varies depending upon time of day and distance. The minimum price is ?2.40 (about $4). Black Cabs all have meters, but it's possible to come to an agreement on price before the trip commences. It is advisable to carry enough cash with you, since not every car is equipped to take credit cards. The trip from the city center to Heathrow costs about ?50 (about $85). However booking a taxi in advance may get you a better price. A tip of ten percent is typical.
What's Not to Like? Stick with the Black Cabs. Don't be tempted to jump into just any unlicensed cab on the street. These drivers are likely untrained, uninsured and illegal, and you put yourself at risk. Exception: The local cabbies at the airport taxi ranks are usually OK.

Goods in Short Supply
Paris just has too much demand for too few taxis. Plus the drivers don't seem to know the first thing about service.
What and Where?Actually there are some good things to say about Paris taxis. The cars are predominately Mercedes, and they have an unmistakable sign on the roof with a red or green light to show whether they are occupied or available. So much for the theory.
Unfortunately in practice, as soon as a few drops of rain fall or the Metro service cuts back at night, a free-for-all for the few available taxis ensues.
How Do You Get One? If you're involved in a fracas for that last cab, you've really got two choices: You can call a taxi service; for example, Taxi Bleu, Tel. 49361010 or Taxi G7, Tel. 47394739, which can get costly. Or you can head to the next taxi stand and wait.
In Paris, most cab drivers are of foreign extraction and many have not exactly mastered French. And unlike London cabbies, they're not particularly well-versed in the geography of the city, so sometimes they'll take you out of your way – either accidentally or on purpose – to get to your destination.
How much?At the end of your trip, you pay what's on the meter, but the fare system is confusing; it's broken up into three zones: A-Paris, B-Petite Couronne and C-airport, and there are big differences twixt day and night fares. Paris is notorious for traffic snarls, so rides can be time-consuming and costly. A trip to Paris CDG during the day runs €40 to €50 ($54-$68) and at night about €70 ($95).
Few cabs are equipped to take credit cards, so if you want to pay that way, you should tell them when you order the car. A small tip is typical, usually by rounding up to the next euro. The good news is, since the drivers don't offer much in the way of service, they don't expect much in the way of tips either.
What's Not to Like?Immediately after leaving security at the airport, you'll probably be accosted by drivers offering rides in cars sans taxi signs. If you're brave, you might save a few euros. But newcomers to the City of Lights, and in particular female travelers should avoid these illegal hacks, especially at dark.

Lost in Translation
Getting to your destination is a challenge in Shanghai – even if you've got good nerves and the address written in Chinese handy.
What and Where?In Shanghai there are about 45,000 taxis, deployed by about 150 companies which you can differentiate primarily by the colors (light red, burgundy, blue, white, gold, green). The service is more or less the same. All licensed taxis have a taxi character on the roof, a meter and a sign with the characters "kong che" on the dashboard, which if lit means passengers are welcome.
How Do You Get One?If you hail a cab on the street, you've got to be quick; the competition can be fierce. Most cab drivers do not speak English, so it's a good idea to have your hotel write your destination in Mandarin. Also most hotels have a Magic Taxi Card with the most important attractions printed in Chinese to show the cab driver.
You'll need good nerves. Shanghai traffic can be chaotic and cab drivers are happy to use their accelerators and brakes with abandon. Seat belts are obligatory and you'll be glad to make use of yours.
How much?The basic fare during the day is RMB12 (about $2) for the first three kilometers; the night rate is RMB18 ($3). Each additional kilometer costs RMB2.40 (nearly $0.40). At night drivers have been known to manipulate the meters. So note the driver's number (posted in the left front on the passenger's side) and call the taxi authority hotline (96 20 00).
Pay with cash or with a Traffic Card, which you can load at metro stops and which is also valid for public transportation. The trip from city center to the airport costs between 170 and 200 RMB (about $27 to $32). Tips are not expected.
What's Not to Like?If you sit behind the driver, don't roll your window down, even if it's a hot day. Chinese expectorate habitually and there's the risk that you might get the driver's spit coming back through the window in your face (no kidding!).

Welcome to the Chaos
Legitimate taxis are hard to come by in the Indian capital and they ply their trade almost exclusively between the large hotels and the airport.
What and Where? Delhi ranks among the most chaotic cities in the world. However the relatively rare "genuine" taxis to be found here are surprisingly well run. There are two kinds of official taxis: the black-and-white can be found primarily at the airport and at the large hotels, and – if you're lucky – can also be hailed on the street. The yellow-and-black radio taxis are summoned by telephone.
How Do You Get One?At the airport you can get a black-and-white taxi with the sign on the roof. Fares are based on the distance driven, so if you don't know the city it's easy to get taken for a ride. Better to go to the rank of radio taxis. There you get a vehicle assigned and a firm price quoted. Reliable radio taxi services to call include Easy Cap (Tel. 43434343) and mega Cap (Tel. 41414141). If you call from your mobile phone, you get a text message with the taxi number and the name of the driver.
Most drivers speak at least some English and know the large hotels and the most important attractions. However addresses in the old part of town can be far more difficult.
How much?Fares in the black-and-white taxis are based on distance, each kilometer runs 50 rupees (about $0.83). When you call a radio cab, generally a call fee of 50 rupees applies, plus 20 rupees ($0.30) per kilometer during the day and about 25 percent more at night. Airport to city center totals about 500 rupees ($8.37).
What's Not to Like?Don't fall for the blandishments of the ever-so-friendly unofficial drivers who will beset you immediately outside airport security. And in the city if you're unsuccessful hailing a cab, retreat to one of the large hotels where lines of official taxis await, or order one up by telephone. And if you want to avoid whole problem from the outset, pay a little more and get your hotel to provide a car and driver.

Tokyo Tokyo Perfection has a price: Riding in a Tokyo taxi
is comfy, clean and costly.
What and Where?Japan's capital can pride itself on having the friendliest cab drivers, the best taxi service and the cleanest roads in the world – at least that's what a recent online survey by Tripadvisor revealed. And nothing in our experience can argue with that point – but there's a price to be paid for the top service.
As is the case in Shanghai, taxis come in different colors, the most widespread of which are orange or green depending upon the cab company. Each taxi has a lighted sign behind the windshield: If it's green, the cab is occupied. Red or yellow means it's available for the next passenger.
How Do You Get One?In Tokyo you can hail a cab anywhere on the street, or you can find them at taxi stands and at large hotels. You can also call a taxi service in advance: The most widely used are Tokyo Musen (Tel. 03/33 30 21 11) and Cheka Musen (Tel. 03/35 73 37 51). By law seat belts are mandatory in Tokyo cabs. Also don't assume your Japanese cab driver speaks English; thus it's advisable to have the destination written down in Japanese.
How much?Much! Tokyo is far and away among the most expensive cities for taxi users. The base fare starts at ¥710 (about $7) for the first two kilometers and adds about ¥90 (about $0.88) for every 288 meters (just under 1/5 mile) and/or 2 minutes. Night fares are 30 percent higher. Payment can be made in cash or in most cases by credit card, but that may require a minimum fare of ¥5,000 ($50). A trip from Narita airport to city center Tokyo starts at about ¥15,000 (about $150). Our hint: Take the train into town. It's easy, clean, and not only considerably less expensive, but considerably faster, particularly during Tokyo's notorious rush hour.
What's Not to Like?Offering a tip can backfire: It's not customary and many cab drivers may even be insulted.

(Written after the fact by Tom)
Wendell, Ernie, Brad, Hannah
The party, along with Shalelu, tracked Gnarl from his camp and eventually encountered a group of passed out citizens from Sandpoint. The mob claimed the ran off the gnoll, then partied too hard and passed out. After a bitch slap and a stern lecture, the party followed Gnarl's tracks as he encountered another group (that he seemed to follow) and then an abandoned merchant camp.
In the camp, they encountered a very confused and seemingly charmed Carlene Olson. She claimed to work for a man named Jeb Smyth, whom they think is really a member of Team Thug. According to her, Jeb arrived with his friends in the middle of the night with a new man she did not recognize. They spoke in a strange language she did not understand, but apparently told the man to wait in Jeb's tent until he got back. They then left. Not long after they left, the strange man left on his own in the opposite direction. A few hours later, a nasty gnoll and his vicious dog arrived, sniffed the camp and then followed the strange man's tracks.
Two sets of tracks left the camp. One was obviously Gnarl following Gnuckles and the other seemed to the other "merchants." The party decided to follow Gnarl and Gnuckles. After a few hours, they heard a loud clap of thunder and then found Gnarl dragging Gnuckles back towards the direction of Sandpoint. {Gnarl]] turned Gnuckles over to the party, whom then dragged him back to town.
While they were gone, Team Thug went back to town and robbed a jewelry store, disguised as Gnarl and Carlene Olson, injuring several people in the process.
After regrouping, they set out after the robbers, who had left town in hot pursuit. They eventually tracked them back to the abandoned merchant camp and then onward down a trail.
As they were catching up to them, the found a bag of jewels with a note that read "There is no longer any profit in this." Not convinced to end the pursuit, the party continued on. They ran into merchant's wagon, turned sideways in the road, with on member of Team Thug standing on top behind a dozen or so goblins. He tried to persuade the party to end the chase but they refused.

Recently, Techlaw recorded a few videos at Legal Tech NY with industry experts covering a wide range of e-discovery topics. This video addresses e-discovery project management.
Recently, Techlaw recorded a few videos at Legal Tech NY with industry experts covering a wide range of e-discovery topics. This video addresses e-discovery project management.
I attended this conference with two colleagues. One an IT professional like myself, and the other a "super" paralegal. I had high hopes for good ideas on how to better manage Litigation Support projects, as they tend to be a beast of their own.
We learned ideas for tracking our sub projects within projects from initiation of a case through closure and data destruction. One thing I got excited about was the idea of a technical specification model. At the onset of a project, write up the scope of work being done. As the project goes on, version the scope with each change that comes along and have this as an audit trail for everything that is done to discovery and requested by the case team throughout the case.
One thing also discussed is the constant battle between deadlines and the time it takes to do what we, in Litigation Support, do. What will always be the case? Court deadlines, changing time lines and the fact that as hard as we try to work with our case teams (attorneys, paralegals, clients, client IT, co-counsel, experts, in-house IT,etc) the name of the game is time and money. The most common strategy that I've seen attorneys take is wait as long as possible before cracking into the e-discovery side of the case and try to work toward settlement. Why? This is an expensive part of the case. We all know that. Sometimes a cost higher than the worth of the case itself. The challenge on the Litigation Support side is that it takes the time to preserve, collect, inventory, process, QC, cull, QC, review, QC, produce, QC any discovery. (did I mention QC?)
So that is the question I felt I left the conference unanswered. How do we work with attorneys and case teams to educate them on the timelines for e-discovery so that they can better weigh the putting off of dealing with discovery issues for the sake of case strategy?
My one disappointment of the conference was that, while I love a good crack at attorneys, there was more than just a subtle rhetoric pointing to attorneys being our big challenge. More than once paralegals were pointed out as paranoid and in the way. Being as I work in a law firm it would not be healthy for me to view the attorneys or paralegals as part of the problem, however tempting that may be. I don't think that was the goal of any discussion at this well put together conference. It was however constantly discussed and I feel that we have a responsibility to turn this conversation around.
First, paralegals are my best friends my com padres and my allies. When an attorney contacts me on a case, if they do not already have a paralegal involved I encourage them get one involved. 1/2 the time this prevents me from doing the work of a paralegal. The other 1/2 I can work with the paralegal with time lines, case setup, and me doing my work, the paralegal doing what they do best and presenting the attorney with what they need.
Second, attorneys pay my paycheck, so while I do prefer to be treated as an equal, respect must be paid. I believe that the attorney / not an attorney line can change, and the burst of a need for IT Litigation Support to be involved in attorneys lives is an opportunity to do just that. Litigation Support is a skilled industry involving a good deal of IT knowledge and PM ability. Requiring this type of aptitude in individuals hired to these positions will slowly get to the attorneys in the form of a recognition that we are a valuable member of the team. One such discussion during the conference pointed ou that we as an industry will be better served if we present our services as consulting/expert(ise) rather that just support/data processing/etc. Yes, sometimes we burn cd's but what we did to get that cd together involved a lot of knowledge and awareness of issues like spoliation and privilege.
From the Lit Support side it is important to recognize that attorneys do know what they are doing, and that they are intelligent. Rather than an obstacle, it is an opportunity we must take to constantly educate attorneys about what we do, why we do it and how. This is not the kind of overnight shift in paradigms that we would all like. This is more one attorney or a couple of attorneys at a time. Working with a partner is always a good idea because they will help with buy-in. Going after new associates in groups is also necessary as getting them on the bandwagon early can encourage going in the right path from the beginning.
All-in-All it was a wonderful conference. I got to see a lot of familiar faces, talk with vendors about new and exciting technology (what can I say, I am IT and that is what excites me) and there were a lot of good discussions about what we do on a day to day basis. It is a long time coming that there is a conference for IT Litigation Support Professionals. Well done Litigation Support Today for getting this together for us!

Handmade Craft ADD?
Projects in the works:
*Multiple multiple (did I mention multiple?) crochet pieces
*LOADS of jewelry, including the new resin lines, both botanical/spice items and custom charity awareness pendants
*Fabric projects- more hair bows (for little girls too!), pillows, even a few small purses! Pirates, Vintage Star Wars, lace, and Steampunky type fabric themes are WIP
*I started making molds to make my own resin charms, SO EXCITED
*I really went off the deep end and started making miniatures for fairy gardens. I have had fairy gardens on the brain for a while now, hobbit holes, little birdbaths, doors, tables and chairs and such...oh my! My family thinks I've lost it. I may have!
*Completing the official Horizontal Designs website
Note: To accommodate the sewing, I now have a small machine with a switch instead of a pedal. Trying to sew in a reclined wheelchair when I usually need my legs propped up a bit to prevent blood pooling from my Dysautonomia was making the thought of sewing a challenge. Very excited!
And after I get theses current things finished, I have my eye on soap making. Seriously.
So, in summary, I will have massive amounts of new stuff on Etsy, in my yard, and to wear. And I will keep working on these projects in ADD circles, while working on projects for clients as well. And that's fine with me!
Anyone else have craft ADD? Would love to hear about it. I'm thinking it's at least partially Pinterest's fault.

Definitely have craft ADD as well but it's so much fun! Made soap for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was great! I was intimidated by the lye but was careful and it all turned out great! Good luck to you :) Michele (PS. thanks for the Lacy Scarf pattern I found on AllFreeCrochet - I will make one today hopefully.)

I confess..I am afflicted. Crochet, scrap-booking..sewing..soap making, jewerly..the list goes on and on. I think I may be a cooking addict.. If if can be made instead of bought I will certainly give it a shot!
Michele B always remember scum goes on top of water.. Meaning put in the water and then the lye NOT the other way round. (don't ask) your kitchen will thank you!

High Tea (Glock Edition)
It's Monday. I have a meeting in a coffee shop frequented by Portland Police. Everyone in the joint has a gun and a badge, except me.
We're in line behind a guy whose body language fairly screams, "Cop!" The man's built like a Buick, about six-foot-thirty, with a bald head and a goatee.
The fellow I'm there to meet had been called out the night before on a shooting. As we queue up for coffee, I say to him, "So. If you were out last night, you missed the finale of 'Downton Abbey.'"
The huge, bald cop spins and scowls at me. He's got a voice like he gargles granite.
"No spoilers, dude!"
Couldn't make this up.
