Schnuck Markets, Inc
Schnucks Kehrs Mill in Ballwin Opens with More Than 100 New Hires
BALLWIN, Mo. – More than 100 new teammates (158 total) have been hired and are anxiously gearing up to serve customers at the opening of the new Schnucks Kehrs Mill food and pharmacy store at 2511 Kehrs Mill Road (63017) in Ballwin. On Thursday, Nov. 1 at 9 a.m., the family-owned grocery company will kick off a grand opening full of entertainment, product discounts, giveaways and great food.
Schnucks President and COO Todd Schnuck describes the 41,000-square-foot store as a smaller version of the company flagship store in Des Peres. "Schnucks Kehrs Mill has many of the key culinary features of Des Peres including the popular Smoke and Grill area. Yet, because it's about half the size, it's easy to shop and offers customers an intimate, small-store experience," he said. "The excitement level is high for all of us as we gear up to serve customers through spectacular experiences unique to this new format."
Store manager Jason Vonder Haar says, "Our customers will notice several features that we will use to transform the grocery store into an event venue. We've been working closely with our engineers and the result is a unique take on a Schnucks neighborhood market. From the fine detailing on the façade to the interior decor, we have included elements that will generate the same warmth and welcoming atmosphere we all try to create for guests in our own homes."
"As they enter, customers will be greeted by displays of floral and produce, and we've positioned the customer service center to complement the additional checkout service now offered there. There are three layers of lighting, including an abundance of natural light, that help to open the space and showcase our fine products," Vonder Haar said. "We've been able to create for our customers a dynamic, full-service fresh food and pharmacy store that represents the best of both shopping environments – a quaint neighborhood market that's easy to navigate yet has the new amenities our customers want."
Highlighted amenities include:
· Smoke and Grill rotisserie (six hour smoking process), pizzeria and other made-to-order hot foods and in-store seating
· Cheese island, olive bar and Sandwich Express featuring Boar's Head
· Schnucks Cooks cooking and demonstration station
· Expanded wine and liquor department with wine tasting counter
The store's environmentally forward design includes a pervious pavement (57% of the total paved area) that soaks up water like a sponge and reduces runoff. It also traps solids and filters pollutants at the source before draining into the soil. A rooftop irrigation system captures rain and filters it so that it can be used to irrigate on-site landscaping.
Other green initiatives of the store include:
· Water conserving plumbing features in the restrooms
· Heat reclaim tanks capture and use waste heat to help heat water
· Occupancy and motion sensors control lighting in parts of the store
· LED light fixtures on the sales floor
In addition to the first level, there's a 5,000-square-foot mezzanine with a seating area and community room that will be made available for community meetings.
After Nov. 1, the store's regular hours will be 6 a.m. – midnight.
As part of the Kehrs Mill project, Schnucks worked closely with MoDot and included additional investments such as a second turn lane and a pedestrian controlled crosswalk to help improve safety primarily for neighborhood students crossing to and from Marquette High School. New landscaping and a 10-foot fence were installed to the specifications of neighboring residents.
Vonder Haar says during grand opening month, participating non-profit organizations will earn a 10 percent bonus on top of the regular Schnucks eScrip Community Card bonus. "You earn just by showing your Schnucks eScrip card when you buy groceries at Schnucks Kehrs Mill," he said. For more information on this program, looks for the eScrip logo at www.schnucks.com.
The original Ballwin Schnucks store was built in 1971 (that store was relocated in 1987 to its current site). There are now 284 teammates between the two locations making Schnucks one of the city's largest employers.
Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets, Inc. operates 100 stores (including five Logli and six Hilander stores) and 96 in-store pharmacies in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. Follow Schnucks on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Schnucks.

The shopping, the crowds, the parties - they're all signs of the season. For many, all this holiday hullabaloo is stressful. Evan Katz is a metro Atlanta therapist who says this time of the year can bring up various feelings.
"Particularly people who are going to have a party, they can get really stressed out because the expectation is way overboard. The concern that other people are going to look at it and say, well, this is no good" Katz says.
And for those of us trying to find the perfect gifts for family and friends, shopping can cause anxiety. "It reminds us, most of us that we never have as much money as we want" Katz remarked.
In addition, there are people who can't be with loved ones, which can cause depression.
So what can we do to manage this holiday tension? Katz says your first step is preparing. Whether it be a budget for gifts or deciding how much time you'll give to family, then try to stick with your plan.
If you tend to feel lonely this time of year, Katz says get out of yourself. He recommends you call somebody else that might be kind of bummed. Offer a little advice. Just make someone else feel good.
And lastly, Katz says we should let go of perfection and high expectations.
Katz also warns against drinking too much during the holiday - especially at family gatherings, where the feelings can get intense.
Katz has written a free e-book on managing holiday stress:

Growing Up With Harry: Food For Thought
In my quest to re-read every Harry Potter book before the release of the final movie, I discovered something curious. In The Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone, Chapter Twelve: The Mirror of Erised, Harry discovers the mirror for the first time. He is shocked to see his parents and brings Ron back later to show him, only Ron doesn't see Harry's family, Ron sees himself, better than his brothers.
The scene is touching and provides us with deep insight into both Ron and Harry's minds. Yet, it is the scene with Dumbledore that intrigues me the most. Dumbledore states, that the mirror "shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." And, "However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth."

- Poor Service and Long lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/18/2014I made a reservation at this restaurant for lunch to celebrate my birthday and knew that it would be quick. There were 5 of us and only 3 tables with people in the whole restaurant. We ordered off of the 30-minute lunch menu. We spent over an hour in the place. Even when we were ready to get our bills, the waiter took 5-10 minutes to bring them and then another 10 minutes to bring them back. I was very disappointed in the service as I have been here before. I would come back again, but I was did not have a Happy Birthday lunch.

Our waiter was Luke who was truly exceptional as a waiter - suggesting cocktails and a wonderful wine pairing. Of course, we knew which steaks we wanted! The food came out at one time, steaks perfectly cooked and everything hot and tasty. The desserts were wonderful. The experience is comfortable and not at all stuffy for an uptown steakhouse.Special Features:
- Fabulous dining experienceCriTeekDined on 8/16/2014I took my husband to RC for a birthday dinner. The food was fabulous and high quality as it has been in the past. We enjoyed steak and seafood dishes and especially liked the sweet potato casserole as a side. Our server, Ken, was gracious, personable and prompt with all of our requests. This restaurant consistently delivers an excellent dining experience from start to finish.Special Features:
- steakfanDined on 8/14/2014Ruth Chris restaurants are always good. Love the way the last bite is as hot as the first bite. First time at the uptown restaurant, a little complicated to get to, thank heaven for valet parking. Eaten at many Ruth Chris around the country and never had a bad meal. Waiters are very knowledgeable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best serverBlessedDined on 8/8/2014Our server Brian was the best server we ever had at Ruth Chris and one of the 5 best servers we ever had.Special Features:
- Steak at its bestPeterFraedrichVIPDined on 8/8/2014I've been going to Ruth's restaurants for nearly 30 years and rarely ever had a bad meal. I love the filet the best. The only issue with the uptown restaurant is that the city of Charlotte does not allow for valet parking during the weekdays until after 6:00pm. We had a reservation for 5:30pm. The manager Chris was kind enough to take care of my car instead of me having to find my way to a parking garage.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding as usualKickDined on 8/5/2014Love the Uptown location. Bartenders are always fun to dine with. David is the man.Special Features:
- Excellent lunch & service!ChristineVIPDined on 8/1/2014I took six of my colleagues to Ruths' Chris uptown location for lunch. The food and service was top notch, as usual.

- Sizzlingtweety08VIPDined on 7/27/2014We went for the Queen's Feast and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I had the petit filet, which was sizzled to perfection and melted in one's mouth. My husband ordered the crab cakes from the King's Feast menu and we shared the surf 'n turf which included the best of both worlds. The creamed spinach was excellent, the wine selection expansive and the cheesecake and chocolate bark scrumptious. Ali was very professional and courteous.Special Features:
- Skip the SidesMCL072Dined on 7/27/2014Everything was outstanding with the exception of the sides. We ordered the creamed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes (but ended up with creamed spinach and mushrooms)... The spinach was bland as were the mushrooms. The Filet and Pork Chop were outstanding as was the appetizer of Calamari (Would definitely order this if you like calamari). The creamed sweet corn and leek soup has was fantasic as well. The desert was cheesecake and chocolate bark, so delicious - actually brought back a childhood memory of my favorite cheesecake. So, all in all... the dinner was fabulous as long as you skip the sides and try everything else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UPTOWN Ruth Chrishokiefan1978Dined on 7/26/2014I must say this is our favorite steak house in Charlotte, our steaks were perfect!

- Great restaurant week review.dessertfirst4meDined on 7/26/2014Although the restaurant was full we were seated at our reserved time of 7:30. We were immediately served a glass of water and informed Marvin would be our server. Marvin arrived promptly and asked for our drink orders and gave us some recommendations. After taking our drink order, he left and returned soon with them and proceeded to take our dinner order and gave us details about the Queen's feast and King's feast. He was so upbeat, kind and courteous through the entire dinner that it made our night a delight. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait for it. That was a plus considering there were no empty tables and they have been serving 500-600 patrons a night. Definitely will dine there again.Special Features:
- Queens FeastFeastDined on 7/25/2014We had a very nice dining experience at Ruth's. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and provided excellent suggestions for our dining pleasure. The food was well prepared, tasty and not over-powering in terms of quantity nor use of herbs & spices. We enjoyed our night out as part of the Queen's Feast restaurant festival.Special Features:
- ServiceNeeseDined on 7/24/2014The waitress must have been a little tired. I ordered coffee which was brought out quickly -- too quickly for lunch on a hot day. No wonder -- it was tepid. When I asked for fresh coffee, she told me it would have to be made. That should have been done when I ordered it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- girls nightBethDined on 7/22/2014Had a girl's night out with a friend during restaurant week. We both had the steak house salad - good sized portion, house made balsamic vinaigrette tasted good. I had medium rare tenderloin filet with grilled shrimp - steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned with almost a peppery crust which added nice flavor. My friend had the marbled bone-in pork chop with veal butter and said it was delicious. I liked that the dessert was a duo of cheesecake and chocolate bark - we didn't have to choose one and then share with each other. Both desserts were tasty, small portions - enough to have several bites without being too much at the end of the meal. Everything was great - food, service, atmosphere. I have been before and will continue to go.Special Features:

Online Gambling: Today's Possibilities and Tomorrow's Opportunities
AbstractWith the development of new information and communication technologies (ICT), above all computers and the internet, new forms of online commerce have emerged. The gambling industry began using the power of the rapidly developing virtual market by offering its services in online casinos. The phenomenon of online gambling has encouraged researchers to direct their work into various areas, including the characteristics or profile of online gamblers. In light of the data on the growth of the market for online gambling it is evident that, in the relation between the many types of traditional and online gambling, visits to traditional casinos predominate, as do predictions about the development of the internet. We therefore decided to examine the characteristics of gamblers in traditional casinos and to determine what percentage of them also gamble online, as well as to establish their profile. The aim of the research was to determine how their characteristics in respect of the development of the internet and the growth of the market have influenced the subsequent development of traditional and internet casinos. We predict that both types of gambling, each in its own way, will compete for gamblers. For traditional casinos the best solution seems to be opening their own online casinos; online casinos will have to remain abreast of the development of the internet and communication technology.

Sites like Facebook and Twitter may be free to use, but we found that some can be costly. People are losing cash on the sites left and right.
As a salesperson and author, Janet Spur knows the power of social media, but she didn't realize just how powerful it can really be, until someone figured out her Facebook password and hacked her account.
"This happened seven months ago, and my heart is still beating a lot thinking about it," she said.
While Janet was at home on the North Shore last July, a hacker was on Facebook chat telling her friend she was overseas and in need of help. The hacker had researched Janet online and had enough information to make Janet's friend think it was really her.
"They started chatting with her, saying I was at a writers conference in London, that I was held up at gunpoint, that all my money was taken, and my credit cards. I needed money to get home and that I didn't even have a plane ticket," she said.
The friend, who lives in Brookline, thought Janet was in real trouble. She wired $9,000 to London via Western Union. The hackers collected the cash with a fake ID that they made based on information from her Facebook account.
"They now see it as another avenue to scam money from people and scam anything they can from people," said Boston-based social media guru Patrick O'Malley. He goes by the handled 617patrick.
O'Malley teaches social media skills and safety to clients all over the country. He says sites like Facebook are gold mines for scam artists. Three hundred and fifty million Facebookers is a lot of potential victims.
"If you think about what your bank asks for when they want information, it's typically your social security number, your mother's maiden name and birth date. Well, your birth date is typically in your Facebook profile, and sometimes they can find your mother's maiden name, especially if she is a friend of yours," said O'Malley.
Scams are one example of how sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can be hazardous to your wallet. Many examples don't involve crooks or con artists.
Take pro football player Larry Johnson. The all-pro running back lost $300,000 pay and ultimately his job with the Kansas City Chiefs after he posted an anti-gay slur on Twitter.
Another person ran into trouble in 140 characters or less. Connor Riley, 22, Tweeted: "Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work."
Unfortunately for Connor, she forgot to make the Tweet private, and a Cisco employee saw it and replied.
"Who is the hiring manager? I'm sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web."
The post went viral and now Connor is a Twitter sensation for all the wrong reasons.
"You have to realize anything you put on the internet could conceivably be seen by your employer, by your enemies, by your grandparents, your grandchildren, and maybe for years to come," said O'Reilly.
Janet Spur says she's learned a lot from her experience. Not everyone on social networking sites are your friends.

Only Two Religions, New from Peter Jones
Posted by dtheriault
If you survey the religious landscape of modern culture, you will encounter an astonishingly diverse range of views. But beneath the surface, these seemingly disparate spiritualities share a common worldview, one that is radically opposed to the Christian faith.
In this new teaching series, Only Two Religions, Dr. Peter Jones examines the worldview and fundamental religious convictions that drive modern culture. He demonstrates that in the final analysis, there can be only two religio

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.

Apr 2 2013: "John Campbell
10 hours ago: The answer is Akismet, which is what TED uses. Apparently there is potential for abuse, and a few angry bloggers. The problem from what I can tell is a blogger can mark a legit comment as spam, Akismet then begins to learn that what is non-spam is spam, propagates this information to it's servers, and autodeletes comments on other blogs as well that don't wind up in a blogger's moderation queue. The following link is old but describes what we've been experiencing with the tcm site.
The problem is almost certainly not TED, so I apologize here for saying that it was. "
So, let's hope this will be fixed soon.
Apr 2 2013: Almost certainly? I doubt it!
In fact I did draw the issue to TED's attention quite some time ago, resending it as suggested by marking it URGENT, and nothing has happened. You can draw your own conclusions from that.
However, I've since seen the part of JC's comment that A. didn't quote, so perhaps JC was correct. Once I got blocked from commenting in Nature's blog and eventually the web people were able to fix that. My blocking once from arxiv, removed when I complained about their 'system error' was something different in character, I believe -- arxiv's behaviour is more sinister and significant even than TED's. See
http://www. tcm. phy. cam. ac. uk/~bdj10/articles/arxiv_correspondence.html
Apr 2 2013: This looks like there is a ring of blogging websites using the same software on their servers, and they cooperate in marking and blacklisting spam links. So, if some number of organised rogue sceptics would mark links to Professor Josephson's articles about "heretical science" and related issues as spam, it would automatically delete comments containing them, on all connected sites. But they shouldn't have a problem to fix this quickly!

- Directors: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman
- Writers: Brenda Chapman, Irene Mech
- Producer: Katherine Sarafian
- Executive Producer: John Lasseter
- Editor: Nicholas C. Smith
- Music: Patrick Doyle
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.
Directed by Mark Andrews ("The Incredibles," "Ratatouille," "John Carter") and Brenda Chapman ("The Lion King," "Prince of Egypt"), and produced by Katherine Sarafian ("Lifted," "The Incredibles"), "Brave" is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

2012 Guide Analysis: "This marks Pixar's first non-sequel since 2009's "Up" and it first film since the profitable debacle that was "Cars 2" which pretty much shattered what was previously unblemished record of critical acclaim.
Thankfully what we have here looks far more promising, a Grimm-style fairy tale said to be "darker and more mature" than their previous films. The 10th century Scottish Highland setting has resulted in some luscious looking CG vistas, while we not only have Pixar's first female main protagonist but a full on ginger too.
The story involves a feisty young princess setting out to discover true bravery to undo a curse on the kingdom. Part adventure, part coming of age tale - the trailers show Pixar are changing things up, offering a tale less obvious about melting your heart than delivering a proper epic and grown up story that stands on its own. I rarely get excited for this genre anymore, even Pixar films, but I am for this."

"I'm really flattered that I'm being linked with such a big club like Liverpool," Rakitic told 24sata.
"I heard that something is happening, but for now there is no concrete offer.
"My brother, who is taking care of my career, is doing all the business about my future.
"But I will repeat what I said before: I will only stay at Sevilla if they will strengthen the team.
"I made it quite clear about that and they know that they have to buy some good players."

Close up, one wonders how the pioneers ever crossed the Rockies, Greenland is obviously harsh and cold, and you can see the snarled traffic around Trafalgar.
From a distance — a long one — one might confuse me for George Clooney.
Well, maybe not.
But certainly, the point is that we suspect from afar that things might be better than they are. Our neighbors seem to be happier and better off than we are. Those people — the ones over there — appear to have things under control.
Of course, it is difficult to see the black roots and warts from 100 feet. It is also hard to see the struggles of downtown Pleasanton merchants from the Altamont.
Thus, we imagine that things out there are better than they are right here.
People seem to love carping about the familiar and well-known around them. It is so easy to see what is not so hot in our lives. It also is too easy to be blind about the same defects in cities, homes, and folks far away.
I was recently interviewed by a Sacramento television station. The reporter asked if I liked Sacramento or Tracy better. He knew I grew up in Sacramento. Indeed, I like our state capital a good deal, as it used to be home. It is not anymore.
My answer might have surprised him, as he did not seem overwhelmed by our city. I, on the other hand, like Tracy best.
This is not to say that Sacramento is bad. But, blemishes and all, Tracy is where I know I'm home. Sacramento seems like a nice place, but it is not where I belong.
When we are far, far away from Tracy, I realize that this town is where I feel in the right place.
Much of the time, however, Tracy is so close that I can see all of the challenges, warts and fractures.
Being in the midst of it, the flaws are quite evident. I can tell you what is wrong with my neighborhood, my friends and even my family.
I still like them best.
As near as things are, failings and all, this is the only place where I have a right to point out the flaws and forgive them at the same time.
When you love someone, they are nearly perfect. So is your home town, when you care enough about it.
It matters not that you are close enough to see the imperfections and wrinkles. What matters is that you don't care about them. Relationships are what are important.
Now, if I could only feel the same about the man in the mirror. Seems like the closer I get, the older he becomes.

A truck inspired by America, towing an American icon.
There are jobs, and then there are history-making jobs. On October 12, 2012, a Toyota Tundra helped tow the Space Shuttle Endeavour to its new home at the California Science Center. The Tundra pulled, and stopped, the 145-ton Endeavour. A truck inspired by America, created in America, towing an American icon. That's what we call a job well done. Relive the journey from start to finish.
The Tundra CrewMax 5.7L V8 is towing far beyond its published capacity in a one-time, short-distance event. Never tow beyond a vehicle's published towing capacities. Always consult the Owner's Manual.

Looks great, feels great. Bought it on sale so the price was ridiculous! I just love RCMC. At the time I received this jacket it was a little snug compared to my other riding jackets of the same size but turns out it wasn't the jacket (it was my belly...lol). So to correct the issue I went on a diet! I love the slim fit much better now!!! Thanks again RCMC!Read All Reviews

Do you think Neil Gaiman ever read's Amanda Palmer's blog and is like "God dammit woman, use some grammar! You are the wife of an universally renowned writer. Hit the shift key! Its right fucking there!"
And then Amanda Palmer divorces him because that is an unnecessarily violent reaction to writing in all lower case. Damn Neil, calm down.
Why Are You Stupid?
I'm not a grammar Nazi by any stretch of the imagination. I make mistakes, I don't care when other people make mistakes. It happens. Sometimes I'll pick on people, and I'll definitely point it out if there's a mistake on something official that last forever. But there is one thing that I will point out EVERY god damn time and that is putting the dollar sign after the number.
People, it is not 60$, it's $60. This pisses me off so bad because its not like there aren't examples of this fucking EVERYWHERE! I learned this shit in first fucking grade, and there's money all over the internet, and every god damn place you look!
Seriously, be more observant.
So I don't get upset when people make grammatical errors. There are three forms of "there." I can understand people getting them mixed up. It happens.
If there's one thing I can't abide, it's putting the fucking $ AFTER the number. It is fucking $5. Not 5$. It is never EVER 5$. Sometimes, there can be their or they're or there. Oh I mixed them up. But when the fuck is it ever 5$? Never. That's when.
So I'm pretty sure you've all heard me rant about this before. But today it's a bit different. I had a new follower so I checked out their blog.
First entry on the page…. 65$. Ok. Obviously he's stupid. TWO entries down, there's a picture of a sale sign in a super market for $2.69.
I blocked him because I really don't want someone looking at my blog who's brain has clearly melted right the fuck out of his god damn skull.

Publication: The Day
The Blizzard of 2013 showed me and my wife, both seniors, that the human spirit is alive and well on Daisy Hill Drive. I had a snowblower that needed repair, although it appeared useful during minor storms. But this monster storm was beyond anything I had ever seen. My neighbor passed by and saw my dilemma and in minutes brought her husband and neighbors and all their children. In minutes, acting as a team with three snowblowers they had my long driveway cleared. It was an unbelievable act of kindness. Daisy Hill Drive has, to us, the best neighbors anyone could ever hope for.
We have more rocky visitors coming this year. Do you plan to look for the upcoming Comet PanSTARRS slated for mid-March?

Chelsea Gaddis, February 2012
What inspired you to seek a college education?
I value the gift of education so much. I've seen kids in Africa who have zero hope of ever stepping foot in a school. Therefore I know it's something I must pursue. Also, since first grade, I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher. It's just something I'm called to do. It's a part of who I am. So here I am, at WKU, seeking a degree in Elementary Education.
What would you say your motivation for succeeding is?
I know I am doing exactly what I am called to do, and that is what keeps me going and striving for the best for my life. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing you are smack dab in the middle of God's will for your life, and I know I am.
What is your academic major or area of study, and what are some of your possible career goals?
My major is Elementary Education and I hope to one day teach Kindergarten or First Grade. I will one day be apart of re-facing global education. I will establish well functioning schools in third-world nations, specifically Africa and India. At one point in my life I hope to be able to say I have been a part of Kentucky Schools in teaching and administration, third-world nations in educating the teachers, in private institutions, and in some form of Bible College. I know they are high goals, but I'd rather reach high, than not high enough.
In as many words as you would like, please tell us a little about yourself.
I am a 21-year-old junior at WKU-O. I have a twin sister and an older brother. I will be the first child and grandchild in my family to graduate from a university.
I am on staff at my church, PromiseLand Metro, and absolutely love every minute of it. I am an administrator at heart. I love to organize and facilitate.
I also work for the Crème Coffeehouse in downtown Owensboro.

56 - A way to show a symbiosis reference maybe?
What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
Maybe a "Symbiosis" entry under the "Miscellaneous" category.
Please provide any additional information below.

Adding newest information in case I come back to this to try submitting a patch :-)

Wanted to add that there's a few addons dealing with Symbiosis but all are from the druid PoV.
None (at the time of this post) work as a generic symbiosis reference for the (non-druid) Raid Leader.
RaidCheckList's prevalent use for me is as a raid helper addon, so I thought this might fit in :-)Last edited Oct 12, 2012 by Dridzt

About QuestItemBar

- Behaves more or less like any standard action button.
- ButtonFacade support.
- LibDataBroker launcher.
- Show all or only usable quest items.
- Sort items in order usable - not usable - quest starter
- Indicate if a item starts a new quest.
- Should work on any WoW language client. Please report if it doesn't.
- Open a configuration dialog using the commands "/qib config" or "/QuestItemBar config" or by clicking the LDB launcher. Or simply use the standard interface -> addons menu.
- Configuration can be done using commands too. /qib <command>. Write /qib to show available commands.
- Change the direction (growth) by right clicking on the anchor.
Planned features
- Keybindings. I'm not happy how it works. Will be improved.

Comment: I once interviewed the 'No.3 Clipper Programmer' (Score 1) 285
by MooseDontBounce (#47407399) Attached to: The World's Best Living Programmers
Back in the early 90's we received a resume at my then employer in which this person stated they where the '#3 Clipper programmer in Rochester, NY'. Well, we HAD to interview him. He wouldn't tell us how he came about this ranking but it was correct! After the interview I told my co-worker that 'if he's the #3 Clipper programmer, then we are #1 & #2 and I'm pretty sure we weren't #1 and #2.' Always wondered were he came up with #3.

Salem Point Neighborhood Vision and Action Plan
The Point neighborhood in the City of Salem includes nearly 144 acres and 4,100 people, and is located just south of the downtown and wharf areas. The Point is distinguished from surrounding neighborhoods by its geography, density, high proportion of multi-family housing and masonry apartment blocks, and a high concentration of recent immigrants.
Neighborhood resources include rich architectural assets, a significant supply of affordable housing, immigrant-owned small businesses, easy access to Salem Harbor and public transit, and close proximity to Salem State University. It is also a vibrant, ethnically-diverse community that has long been a settlement destination for newcomers.
This Salem Point Neighborhood Vision and Action Plan project was a collaboration among city, regional, nonprofit and grassroots stakeholders to develop a vision for improving the Point neighborhood between 2013 and 2020. The Plan is now bring implemented through the leadership of an Advisory Group that is stewarding plan implementation.
What's New: Salem Point Neighborhood Commercial Corridors Revitalization Study Underway
In spring 2014, the City of Salem has received funding through the 2014 District Local Technical Assistance program to undertake a Commercial Corridors Revitalization Plan in collaboration with the North Shore Community Development Corporation and MAPC. This project advances the housing and economic development vision outlined in the Plan. A portion of the work is also funded through a Working Cities Challenge Grant.
The Plan will evaluate the retail market and housing redevelopment potential of the Congress and Lafayette Street corridors and will also examine potential in the connective corridors of Peabody, Harbor, and Palmer streets in order to develop an action plan that will bridge downtown Salem and the Point. A retail market analysis and buildout analysis of the study area will inform the creation of an action plan that will aim to boost economic activity and inclusivity in the Point and better connect it with the booming downtown economy.
Join us for the Salem Point Neighborhood Multicultural Pop-Up Market!
WHEN: Saturday, October 4, 2014, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Where: Peabody Street Park, 15 Peabody Street, Salem

Salem Point Vision and Action Plan FinalizedThe Salem Point Neighborhood Vision and Action Plan outlines a vision to improve the quality of life in the Point neighborhood and an action agenda that the City of Salem and community partners will work together to implement over a seven-year period from 2013-2020.
"What's the Point?"a Community PlanIt Game
One part of this project's outreach and engagement strategy was the use of Community PlanIt, a web-based game where community members electronically interacted with one another on their smart phone or computer to contribute ideas about the neighborhood. In the game, community members (players) participated in online challenges, collect coins for participation, and pledged coins to Causes -- real-world organizations or nonprofits -- to fund services or activities that benefit the neighborhood. Between January 28 and February 18, people who live, work, study, and play in the Point played the game.
Now that game play is over, the website has converted to a post-game state where you can see comments people have left and summary stats on player responses to questions in the game: www.communityplanit.org/salempoint.
Here's a primer on the Community PlanIt game. This video was produced by our game development partner, Emerson Engagement Game Lab.

Point Neighborhood Walking Tour
View photos from a recent walking tour MAPC conducted with youth from the North Shore CDC Youth Jobs program. Phgoos taken will go into the design for "What's the Point?" a Community PlanIt game that will be launched in the early spring and provides another avenue for residents within and outside of the Point to weigh in on assets and opportunities in neighborhood.
Partner roles
The project was initiated by the City of Salem and the North Shore Community Development Coalition (NSCDC) with the support of MAPC and is funded by the Metro Boston Consortium for Sustainable Communities.
- MAPC is working with the City of Salem and NSCDC to synthesize existing data about the Point, helping to plan and facilitate public meetings, and preparing all final project deliverables. MAPC is also coordinating the participation of Emerson Engagement Game Lab, which is developing and implementing the Community PlanIt igame.
- NSCDC is undertaking all outreach and engagement for development of the vision statement and action plan, including canvassing, surveying, and small-scale community meetings and neighborhood-wide meetings.
- The City of Salem is assisting with the compilation of content from existing studies pertaining to the Point, planning and facilitating the second public meeting, and assessing impediments and opportunities to implementing the neighborhood vision.
Why it's important
The proposed project will empower residents to create their own community vision and to mobilize resources to ensure that the Point develops sustainably in its housing, land and environmental resources, and its economy. Project partners hope that the resulting Action Plan guides municipal priorities for local capital and operating improvements.
This project supports MetroFuture's Sustainable Growth Patterns , Housing Choices , Community Vitality, and Healthy Environment goals for the region.
