Security officer killed during robbery st Aldi‘s grocery store www.privateofficer.com

I am sad, as this guard works for who we work for. :( Bless you and your family during this time of heart ache.
GUNS KILL
Chicago IL Nov 12 2011 - A security guard was shot and killed late Thursday trying to stop two armed robbers who held up a South Side Aldi store. The robbers also shot and wounded a customer as she tried to get away.

One of the two male suspects walked up to a register at the store in the 9000 block of South Halsted Street and announced a robbery at 7:27 p.m., according to police News Affairs.

A 54-year-old security guard for the store became involved in a struggle with the second suspect, who pulled out a handgun and shot the guard multiple times in the head and upper torso, police said.

He was identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as Reginald Lanier, 54, of S. Campbell Ave., and he was dead at the scene of the shooting at 9017 S. Halsted St.

Community activist Andrew Holmes said to his knowledge, the security guard was armed and his weapon is now missing, but that had not been confirmed with police.

A 67-year-old woman was also shot in the leg as she tried to get out of the store, police said. She was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to Fire Media Affairs.

Distraught relatives identified the guard as Reginald Lanier, a father of one.

Two female relatives wailed “No …God, No!,” after they arrived at the scene.

Lanier had only worked at the store for three or four months, lost a nephew to gun violence last week and was worried about his safety at the store, said his brother-in-law, Horace Page Jr.

“Of course he was (worried about his safety), you know how it is out here,” said Page, a former Chicago Police officer who became an engineer to get away from street violence.

“They killed him, they killed him at work.”

Lanier had a 20-year-old daughter who is an honor student at Roosevelt University and he lived with his wife in Beverly, Page said.

The robbers got away with an unknown amount of cash and are not in police custody early Friday, police said.

Calumet Area detectives are investigating. Police in Area 2 are also communicating with Area 1 detectives, where another Aldi was robbed under similar circumstances. It was unclear if the two cases were connected.

Christmas 2011 — Birth of a New Tradition

09 Nov

Christmas 2011 — Birth of a New Tradition

NOTE: NO OFFENSE you can Insert your Country for the same gift giving New 2011 Traditional Ideas

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods — merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

It’s time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?

  • Everyone — yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?
  • Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.
  • Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.
  • Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamin’s on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.
  • There are bazillions of owner-run restaurants — all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn’t about big National chains — this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.
  • How many people couldn’t use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?
  • Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.
  • My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.
  • OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.
  • Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre? Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.
  • Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of lights, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.

You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn’t imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.

Blessings To ALL OF YOU, My dear Bloggers

    Lots of traditional architecture in Brazil, under Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and English influences…
    Here is my “collection of windows” for this week’s challenge!

    Cheers!

  29. Over the years I have captured so many photographs of windows, so I could have taken this theme in so many directions. I decided on a meditation about light and air pollution, and the subsequent loss of sunshine in our cities (specifically Hong Kong).http://cinova.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/weekly-photo-challenge-windows/

  30. Ok, this is my second addition to this weeks challenge, but I completely forgot I had these photos until now!

Scott Berkun: Free download ebook

03 Nov

Greetings: I am promoting Scott Berkun as I am a huge fan of his. The book is really wonderful.

This is a special email for two reasons. First, I’d like to welcome
the 5000+ new subscribers who joined recently as part of the Mindfire
promotion.

Welcome. I hope you like what you find and that you’ll stick around.
These emails are always short and to the point. It’s an easy way
to follow what I’m up to.

Second, it’s only so often I can say this phrase: The new book is out.

The best of an entire decade of my work is now available in one
tightly edited, entertainingly curated and provocatively organized
volume called Mindfire: Big Ideas for Curious Minds. Please give it a
spin and let me know what you think.

1. Mindfire for free: 8 hours left

If you follow me on twitter you know I did something crazy. Mindfire
is currently available for free in all digital formats. All you have
to do is go over here:

http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/mindfire-download-free-for-48-hours/

Since you’re already on the list, just put in the same email address
you use for this list, so you don’t end up being subscribed twice.

If paper is your thing, amazon.com can ship the book to your door
today. Go here: http://amzn.to/mindfires

2. The best of October and beyond

Last month was quiet. Finishing the book absorbed most of my
writing time. But there were a few gems:

How to give a perfect demo
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/how-to-give-a-perfect-demo/

Is Philosophy the most practical major?
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/is-philosophy-the-most-practical-major/

Will the E-book kill the footnote?
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/will-the-e-book-kill-the-footnote/

The fallacy of quick answers
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2010/the-fallacy-of-quick-answers/

Why it’s ok to be obvious
http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/2011/how-to-give-a-perfect-demo/

3. Join the street team / Fan club

Since Mindfire is self-published, I need help to promote
the book. If you’re a fan, or a friend, or a marketing goddess
who is just plain bored, and would be willing to post a thing
or two to facebook or twitter, or help generate PR in your
network, please join.

http://groups.google.com/group/berkunfan?hl=en

There were be special prizes and thank yous for folks who help out,
including free copies of the book.

4. Please spread the word

If you enjoy something above, leave a comment, share on facebook or
forward to your friends. If you hate something I wrote, forward to your enemies.

Act IV, Scene 1 from Macbeth (1606) by William Shakespeare

(The Witches‘ Spell)

A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.
Enter the three Witches.

1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!
1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches’ mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg’d i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,—
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
