A while ago I decided to try my luck at internet dating. It was neither a failure nor a success, and I soon lost interest. The only lingering evidence is a leftover profile at OkCupid, mostly because I'm too lazy to delete it. I still get the odd message from guys who like my smile and think we should chat. It's what you'd expect, the sheepish norm of first contact between potential paramours in the digital age. What you don't expect to get, however, is unsolicited style advice.
I am one of the lucky few.
The new message announced itself with a cheerful digital chime. The sound was misleading. It read: You are cute, but you should work on your wardrobe. Makes you look much older than 22. Just thought I'd help you out.
You know that alarm sound that Uma Thurman hears in Kill Bill? That's what I heard. I wanted to send back a string of expletives, shredding his opinion of my personal style. He was totally wrong… right? Just to refresh my memory, I looked over my pictures to see what sort of "dowdy" ensembles he was criticizing. One was a '50s style strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline, covered in a pattern of prize ribbons. Another, a silk blouse with a whimsical print of chairs, leaves, and umbrellas. In the third, a black dress with drawn cassette tapes unspooling in every direction. All of them are very cute outfits; none of them requiring a stranger's intervention.
But a flash of self-doubt wracked me. My insecure inner 12-year-old suddenly wondered if maybe people saw me that way. Did I really come off as stuffy and uptight? It took years for me to feel comfortable in my skin. My shape never fit the American Eagle model that was popular when I was in high school. More than once, I wept in a change room, unable to navigate a pair of pubic-zone-grazing jeans and, rather than turning me into a Seventeen-queen, trendy mini-skirts just highlighted my stumpy torso. It was crushing. But creativity eventually took the place of insecurity. I went after vintage silhouettes and tailored looks; maybe they looked "older" to some but they made me feel self-assured. That's when I decided I wouldn't let people make me feel silly for what I put on my back.
So why did I let this man's comments send me into a tailspin?
With his comment, he didn't just insult my clothes—he insulted the image I had of myself. I wasn't fishing for compliments, but the pictures I chose were of a confident and beautiful me. His offhand offer to improve what I thought was me at my best bruised my ego and made me question what the world saw when they looked at me. And although I want people to like me for who I am, the voice of the ostracized pre-teen in my past was suddenly asking, should I change?
If I were to slide off the high road and come face to face with my insulter I've considered a barb or two I could hurl in his direction. I've even thought of the outfit I'd wear: a red and white iris-printed sundress with a button front, cap sleeves, and a crinoline underneath. I would lower my cat-eye sunglasses, my neck scarf fluttering a little in the breeze. In my drollest Katherine Hepburn voice, I'd say: "Hey buddy. My wardrobe doesn't need help. As for your personality, I'm not so sure." But what would be the point? I know who I am, I know what I like, and as trite as it sounds, I'm confident I'll meet someone who appreciates me just as I am.
I wonder how his quest for true love is going?

This collaboration will help CRB increase its beer market position in Guizhou province.
Maotai Beer has a competitive advantage in Guizhou province with its production capacity of 100 thousand kilolitres.
This collaboration reflects the beer industry's tendency towards strong development in Guizhou province.

Guizhou Maotai Beer has excellent achievement and growth potential; therefore, Snow Beer can utilise Maotai's good reputation in the Guizhou market to develop their customer network and maintain a good momentum for future development. This collaboration was believed to be beneficial to the CRB's beer business strategic plan in Guizhou province, and offered a firmer foundation for its sustainable development.
SABMiller's Asian Market managing director Weisi Mu states that the collaboration of CRB and Maotai Brewery increased our market position in Guizhou, which is a very important province, and we are going one step further to strengthen our leading position in the Chinese beer market.
Our company entered the beer business in 1993. In 1994, our company collaborated with SABMiller, which is one of the of the leading global beer enterprises. CRB has already become the leader in the Chinese beer market thanks to their successful acquisition strategies, effective integration implementation, and persistent brand building. CRB's sales volume exceeded 9.28 million kilolitres and 21% of the market share in 2010, and increased 11% from last year. In 2010, Snow's single-brand sales increased by 16% and reached 8.413-million-kilolitres, consolidating its position as the sales volume champion in China for 6 years running since 2005. The brand value of "Snow" was 46.368 billion yuen in 2010, and in 29th position of "Most Valuable Chinese Brand 2011."

Natural Weight Loss
The only way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than your body needs so that the bodys fat stores provide the shortfall. As your body burns its fat it uses large amounts of vitamins and minerals to control the biochemical reactions involved.
Taking a high potency multi-vitamin and mineral together with a high potency fish oil, and a high strength calcium and magnesium supplement will cover the nutritional basics. It is then possible to also make use of other supplements specifically formulated to help those slimming or trying to tone their body shape.
Remember food cravings may actually be a warning that you are starving yourself not of calories but of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, and this in turn may actually be slowing down the weight loss process.

Roberts Expression
Another strong Roberts radio, with sweet sounds and sophisticated looksWrite your own review
- Useful spec includes battery charging
- smooth, safety-first sonic signature
- Low frequencies could be more distinct
- familiar Roberts top-placed display divides opinion
The Roberts website features a stunning range of radios of all configurations, prices, styles and sizes, but the Expression stands out as one of the most striking-looking of all.
It revels in a woodily retro chassis with DAB and FM reception inside.
The Expression has an integrated battery-charger, line-level in- and outputs and a big, clear display on its top panel – familiar Roberts positioning you may/may not like.
The sound the Expression makes isn't a million miles from the way it looks: crisp, smooth-edged and generally quite agreeable.
There's a suggestion of rounding off of the lower frequencies, which serves to make them less than explicit, but higher up the range the Roberts offers a welcome touch of bite to go along with its heft.
So if a slick-sounding radio with a hint of retro-chic appeals, dive right in.

This collection satisfies with its rich variety. Rappleye shows a wide range of knowledge, moving comfortably from books to history, current events, the Bible, and art. The minor motifs—birds, dogs, trees, water, angels (the heavenly kind, fallen, and Blue)—add additional variety and subtly unify the collection. Rappleye also covers a variety of locations, for example, a field at night, the Gotham Book Mart, a museum, Pittsburgh, a homeless shelter, and a hospital. He includes a variety of characters, mingling a reunion chairwoman, crack whores, a butterfly collector, St. Paul, a radio talk show host, and the poets John Donne, John Berryman, and Gerald Stern. In "Sail On, Sailor" Odysseus mixes it up with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.
Rappleye also varies stanza forms and lengths. The collection consists primarily of free verse poems, all written with a clear mastery of craft and a formal elegance. And yet there's a hipness to the poems, often revealed as Rappleye combines formal and colloquial diction. There are several ambitious multi-section poems and one terrific ghazal, "Lost-Love Ghazals." In this ancient Persian form, Rappleye handles the pattern of repeated words and rhymes in the required couplets, yet manages to put his own stamp on the form by violating the rule that the poet put his own name in the last couplet. Instead, he asks, "Why bury my name in some final couplet? / Bereft of name, I will not love you anymore." The poet, in spite of the predictability inherent in the form, also manages to take the poem through a series of turns and surprises. In fact, one of the virtues of the collection as a whole is its ability to consistently surprise the reader.
Another of Rappleye's strengths is his gift for tone. The collection blends sadness and humor. A number of the poems focus on failure—failure of the body in "Biopsy" and "Glaucoma"; a failed relationship in "After the Divorce," with its beautiful closing lines: "Winter soon. / A winter that is more and more / my home." Rappleye fearlessly encounters the dark, but he also has an obvious fondness for humor as seen in "My Mother Thinks She's Peggy Lee" and "Discontinuous Narrative," a poem about the speaker's vasectomy. And while God sometimes abandons Rappleye's speaker, He also shows up on a road trip "programming all night radio for Knoxville, Tennessee."
As the collection's title suggests, many of the poems deal with dark subjects. Appropriately dark images undergird these subjects. But the darkness is counterbalanced by happiness and images of light. Yes, Rappleye seems to say, there is darkness, but there is also light. His poems offer us different ways of seeing both.
Here are two poems that give a good sense of the collection. Two more poems and an interview are also available at the publisher's website.
Lilacs for Instance
—Rainer Maria Rilke
when they will not bloom again
and later find it isn't true.
Thus, the house down the road—
overgrown with flowering lilacs.
At night I walk a path behind it
coming up along the creek.
Framed in a second-story window,
a woman stands in a green kimono,
toweling herself after a bath.
The silk of her robe falls back
to expose the areola of one breast
and the shadow of her sex, lush
as the flowers that encircle
the house, her bedroom window
lit like a painting from Bonnard.
I pause in the looming dark,
tongue thick with the fragrance
of lilacs, until she turns out
her light. After which there are
always lilacs, and the sweet music
of a distant song.
At 48, Walking My Baby Past the Voodoo Lounge
It is the right moment, just right."
–Edgar Degas, letter from New Orleans to Henri Rouart
turn left on Chartres, pause at the house
where Napoleon planned to brood
his final years. Carlos doesn't care—
napping under a blanket I've spread
to keep him from the sun. The sidewalks
are sticky, the air—roiling with booze
and boiled shrimp, and the music won't stop—
at every door, the chank-a-chank of zydeco,
or drum machines rat-tatting
into the street. I light a cigar.
We are men about town, me pointing out
the gaslights and balconies, the walls
brushed aquamarine, chiffon, or a sweet
sun-ripened pink. On Toulouse,
he spots two beagles, who, scampering round
their tiny yard, make him laugh, as they tumble
against an iron fence. I prop Carlos at the gate
and snap a picture, in which he looks
straight at the camera, smiling slyly,
like the smallest child in Degas's painting
Children on a Doorstep—the light,
that same goldenrod—with a beagle
posed at a distance. You say
it's crazy to have this new child.
You think even worse.
I only know that under the sign
"Famous Live Love Acts of New Orleans,"
I look at Carlos and smile.
And passing the Voodoo Lounge, I know
that no bad luck can touch us now.

I ordered more stickers last night. Guess I'll have them in a couple weeks. I didn't go with the vinyl, but instead ordered from iprint.com, which is the same place I got the original round yellow stickers from. They're good quality stickers and suitable for laptops and outdoors. The new stickers will look something like this:Only orange instead of yellow. The only color they had, aside from white, gold and silver was orange. We'll have to wait and see if that looks horrible or not.So if I did a rectangular sticker, similar to the old green one, what should it say? How about one specifically for pay phones? Any ideas?
Didn't the old green one say "The PLA used this phone to harass someone, and they didn't pay for it either!" Then it had http://www.phonelosers.org on it?
"Get Your money for nothing and your calls for free" www.Phone Losers.org
orange and black will r0x what diameter are they so i can plan out it's destiny on my macBook. ? too bad they're not vinyl, i hope they wont fade to easily.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recent research published in the Journal of Marketing suggests differences in Facebook marketing for useful vs. fun-oriented products. As the number of active Facebook users continues to climb, more and more firms look beyond simply establishing a Facebook presence-they seek to "get Facebook marketing right." Certainly, most firms would not mind following in the footsteps of FarmVille or CityVille-products whose hugely successful viral marketing efforts on Facebook resulted in adoption by up to 100 million customers within a few weeks. The prospect of free, yet highly effective recommendations from consumer to consumer is very appealing. Still, many wonder whether FarmVille's social media strategy works equally well for all products.

Researchers Christian Schulze from the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management and Lisa Scholer and Bernd Skiera of Goethe University Frankfurt analyze the workings of social sharing mechanisms. Through an analysis of 751 viral marketing campaigns across 22 different product categories on Facebook, they investigate the mechanisms that encourage consumers to share information about a product with their friends. Their findings are a wake-up call for many firms: copying FarmVille's social media strategy might not only be ineffective, it has the potential to ruin their Facebook marketing efforts.
The study appears as the lead article in the January issue of the American Marketing Association's Journal of Marketing. It confirms that the success of games such as FarmVille was not an accident. Broadcast messages from friends that contain incentives to use the product-the social sharing mechanism popularized by Farmville-is indeed the most effective social sharing mechanism for games and other fun-oriented products on Facebook, with the potential to increase average product success by a factor of 19. At the same time, however, the approach is the least effective for marketing primarily useful products, such as legal advice, job search, or financial services. For useful products, FarmVille's social media strategy will even reduce their social media success by 75% on average. Instead of copying FarmVille, firms promoting these products should rely on less aggressive and more personal recommendations, and even avoid incentives in order to increase the relevance of their marketing message and decrease consumer skepticism.
The impact of social sharing mechanisms on the success of Facebook marketing is tremendous. To get it right, however, firms promoting useful products must stop copying FarmVille.

then dont go trenchless, you gonna dig 4 to 6ft down, and however long your front yard is. if not get hone depot to bring it in.
I need to replace a leaking main water supply line. The current line would a big expensive job to replace. Got a quote of approximately $3000 for a trenchless replacement job.
The guy did mention that I could save a lot of money if I ran a new line in put it in myself, then just pay a plumber with the right tools to hook it up.
He recommended using PE pipe.
Anyone know where I can buy 1" PE pipe online? I live in a small town and the nearest Home Depot does not carry it.
Also, are their DIY fittings I can use or do I need to have a plumber install fusion fittings.
then dont go trenchless, you gonna dig 4 to 6ft down, and however long your front yard is. if not get hone depot to bring it in.
Your Home Depot doesn't carry PE ? Are you sure? It's the black plastic stuff that comes in rolls. Try aisle 5 right next to the water pumps and tanks
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Didn't see it last time I was there. I'll check again.
(it wouldn't surprise me since I'm told our HD is the smallest in the country)
There is a Lowes about an hr drive away, do they carry it?
Also, is 1" the right size to use?
Currently I see 1" coming off the water meter and 1" going into the house, but in between is 1 1/4" PVC.
I'm thinking since there is 1" on either side of the PVC, it doesn't need to be 1 1/4'.
Yea, 1" is what you need. Lowe's has it also. comes in 100 and 300 foot rolls
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
any recommendation on what type fittings to use? ie Are there any types I should stay away from?
I only use brass or stainless steel insert fittings with two opposing clamps. You will have to adapt using an insert x male fitting once you are inside the foundation. Adapt to copper, pex or cpvc. stay away from plastic or nylon fittings. They leak.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
Your 1" PE pipe will be approximately the same size as 3/4" copper, so you might want to increase to 1 1/4" to stay at the same size you have now.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Thanks for the info.
I stopped by my local Home Depot, they don't have PE pipe except for some small diameter stuff.
They do have 1" white PEX.
I read on another forum that you can use PEX for a main water supply line but it has to be sleeved.
If given the choice would you use PEX or PE for a main water supply line.
160lb. 1" PE has an inside diameter of 1.062 while 3/4" type L copper has an inside diameter of .0758 The difference isn .309 which is more than 1/4" We use 1" PE for probably 90% of all deeep well pump installations, including the run from the pump to the house. You can run PEX and you do have to sleeve it and it is more expensive. Can you get Home Depot to order you a roll of PE?
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
So local Home Depot doesn't have it and the guy didn't even know what I was talking about. I checked with Lowes, they have it on their website, but I checked 3 local stores and
none of them carry it and they didn't know what i was talking about. Even checked two plumbing supply stores, they don't carry it. One in Burbank and the other in Bakersfield, CA.
Finally found a wholesale guy in Bakersfield that has it but his min is 500ft roll.
I'm beginning to think it is not allowed in Southern CA because no one carries it.
I can get it online but was trying to get it sooner because I have a leak in the main line to my house.
Anyone know a place in the Los Angles area where I can get it?
or a good online dealer.
You have to find a plumber who has a roll of it and will cut off what you need. If your PE has that i.d., then it has to be IPS schedule size, but he would probably receive CTS sized pipe which has an o.d. of 1.125 and a relatively small i.d. due to the wall thickness.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I really don't know squat about PE pipe, but a quick online search shows JM Eagle PE pipe is sold in several places in Bakersfield as well as some other places reasonable close to you. I would recommend you consider a large size than 1". This is not a time to try to save a few dollars on pipe that may be a bit too small.
is this the right stuff?
I can get it from Lowes delivered to my local store.
The the question is where to you get the fittings and clamps.. They seem to only have plastic ones.

It means so much to me that so many of you read my essay and took the time to comment. This was incredibly difficult for me to write, but I see now that sharing my story was the right decision. Despite knowing that so many women are affected by violence (1 in 3), I was shocked by the number of women who personally wrote me and shared their stories, so many of which mirrored my own. I can't articulate how powerful and necessary it is that we share our stories, that we connect with each other, and that we find the courage to be brave together. Thank you for your kindness and your support, from the bottom of my heart.

NEVER stay here!!! Worst hotel we ever stayed at!! – My husband and I booked a room at this hotel for 9 nights. When we checked in we were told "if you check out during the stay you still pay for entire stay." We thought that was an odd thing to be told but we were there for vacation and for Comic Con, so we had no intention of checking out before our departing date.
Well we now know why that was said! It was because our stay would be a nightmare!!
We stayed here last year, when it was Quality Inn, and loved it, that's why we came back, but we will NEVER stay here again!!
First thing we encountered was ANTS! Tons of them in our room! Every day there was another huge trail of them all up and around the bathroom door!! We called the manager and he came down with an unmarked spray bottle of unknown chemicals and sprayed the ants twice and then wiped them down with a towel! The third time we complained, he handed the spray bottle to my husband and had us spray them down daily, wiping them down with one of our guest towels!!!!
The chemical smell triggered my asthma so I ended up missing two days of the con, due to having to get breathing treatments every 4 hours!!
The ants were everywhere after we started spraying! You would open your laptop, on the desk by the door, and ants would be crawling across the screen! You would wake up in bed with ants crawling on the sheets! OMG it was AWFUL!!!
So was housekeeping! She would take our towels and washclothes and NOT leave clean ones behind!! We had to start leaving notes on the bed for her to bring us towels and my husband even had to go to the front desk for some as well!
The hairdryer blew cold air and the last day that we were there, it died completely!!
We told the woman at the front desk ALL of this when we were checking out and she just shrugged her shoulders. Her attitude was the same as his!!
I reported it to corporate on the way to the airport the morning we checked out, yes I was that upset! I did not even wait to get home to call!
Corporate said the manager had 72 hours to respond. Well this morning I got an e-mail offering me 25% off rack rate on our next visit! HA!! Forget that!! We will NEVER stay there again!!
If you are looking for a good hotel to stay at on your next visit, we strongly suggest you pass this one by and find some where else!!

hello all,
love this board...long time lurker, first time poster...
so i've got a 1100sqft condo and i'm remodeling the hollywood bath.
already torn out the walls that boxed in the tub and made it feel tiny
attached is my new layout......i took out 1 toilet already and half the vanity space in order to get a bigger tub and a separate shower in the back.
my question ?...now the idea of losing the 2nd vanity/sink in the back and making that whole area in the back a completely open shower is looking pretty good.
is that crazy to cut the vanity/sink space down to 24" ? i've already bought 2 vanities and 2 sinks. i could return one set i guess...
anyway...i guess the general question is does one giant, nice shower, tub , toilet trump vanity space?
i'm just one single guy so i think it's a great idea. but if/when i ever sell this place will the small sink/vanity hurt me?
this is a great board!

When Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind was published in 1982, it fomented a quiet revolution in GLBT books for young adults thanks to its expression of the truth that homosexuality is an aspect of love, not simply a soulless form of sexual activity. In Annie's wake, romance became de rigueur in the ranks of GLBT fiction, which now led from the heart not the, well, nether regions. With its Spotlight on Romance, this issue of Booklist offers an opportunity to take a retrospective gander at what Annie wrought in the romance department, starting with a look at Annie itself.
Annie and Lisa meet on the steps of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and feel an instant kinship. Lisa realizes she might be gay but thinks "you don't know a thing about what that means." Curious, she reads the entry for "Homosexuality" in her father's encyclopedia and discovers "the word 'love' wasn't used even once. That made me mad; it was as if whoever wrote the article didn't know that gay people actually love each other." But Lisa and Annie do love each other, and the word quickly becomes a staple part of their hearts'—and the reader's—vocabulary.
Francesca Lia Block doesn't need an encyclopedia to understand that homosexuality means love; it is an intrinsic part of her luminous first novel, Weetzie Bat. From the moment that Weetzie's friend Dirk comes out to her, and she replies, "It doesn't matter one bit, honey-honey," we know that Dirk will ultimately find in Duck Drake both boyfriend and heartsease.
The world doesn't always welcome lovers, as readers of M. E. Kerr's Deliver Us from Evie discover. Sixteen-year-old Missouri farm boy Parr tells the story of his older sister, Evie, who, with her short, slicked-back hair, resembles a young Elvis Presley and is cruelly called Parr's "brother" by the pinheads at school. This doesn't bother Evie, who tells her father, "I don't give a ding-dong-damn what people say about me." Nevertheless, when Evie and beautiful Patsy fall in love and are inadvertently outed by Parr, they flee to Paris (talk about romantic!) and then settle down in New York. Happily, Evie reconciles with her family, and love—for her family and for Patsy—carries the day.
A different kind of love informs the pages of Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It is friendship, which C. S. Lewis identified as one of the four loves, calling it, à la Aristotle and Cicero, philia or amicitia. Today, when it is between two men, we've taken to calling it a bromance. That is certainly the relationship Chbosky's straight 15-year-old protagonist Charlie experiences with his older gay friend Patrick. In a tender moment, Charlie says, "You know, Patrick? If I were gay, I'd want to date you." In an aside, he continues, "I don't know why I said it, but it seemed right." It seems right to the reader, too.
In David Levithan's whimsical and wonderful Boy Meets Boy, love is in the air, love is everywhere; it certainly informs Paul and Noah's relationship until Paul does something stupid, loses Noah, and must then regain him. Yes, even in Levithan's richly and sweetly imagined ideal world, the course of true love is sometimes a bit of a bumpy ride, but ultimately it is love that smooths the way to a happy ending. And can there be a happier ending than Levithan's, whose final words are, "And I think to myself, What a Wonderful World."
It's not a wonderful world, though, for Alex who, at the outset of Martin Wilson's fine first novel, What They Always Tell Us, attempts suicide. In its wake, he becomes a pariah at school, where he is a junior. It is not until he meets Nathen, one of his older brother's friends, that his life begins to turn around. Like Alex, Nathen is a runner, and the two begin running together until that togetherness takes on a new and deeper meaning. The boys' love relationship proves redemptive, surely saving Alex's life and promising him a viable if not a downright beautiful future.
An entirely different take on love is found in Brian Katcher's Almost Perfect. Logan, a high-school senior in a small Missouri town, meets and falls for Sage, a new girl at school. The feelings seem to be mutual, but Logan can't understand why Sage's parents forbid her to date him; indeed, to date anyone. Then he discovers the reason: Sage is a male-to-female transgender who is in transition. Enraged and terrified that if Sage's situation becomes common knowledge, he will be thought to be gay, Logan rejects her. When she then attempts suicide, Logan begins to rethink his attitude and action. Gradually the two teens find a new kind of love in a friendship rooted in respect and understanding.
Raina Telgemeier's Drama differs in two ways from the books we've been discussing: it's a graphic novel, and it's targeted at a younger audience. Set in middle school, it's the story of Callie, who is working backstage at her school's musical production. Helping her are identical twins Justin and Jesse. Justin is gay, but Jesse is straight, and Callie develops a serious crush on him, which seems to be reciprocated until they go to the school dance together, and Callie discovers that Jesse, like his brother, is gay and is just coming out of the closet. Heartbroken at first, Callie recovers nicely, and it's obvious the two will remain friends. Drama is a sweet, charming story that is greatly enhanced by its welcome humor.
A more serious story is the Printz Honor and Pura Belpré Award–winning Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Set in El Paso in the eighties, this is the story of the evolving friendship between Dante and Ari, two 15-year-old Mexican Americans who seem to be polar opposites: Dante, who is openly gay, is light to Ari's dark. Both boys come from loving families and have a loving friendship that becomes something more when Ari finally comes out. A character-driven work of literary fiction, this is a beautifully conceived and written novel.
What more is there to say, then, than that love in GLBT literature is here to stay? Hooray!

A Town of Merrill woman became the victim of a scam this past week via the web site Craig's List. The victim had advertised an antique stove from the 1800's valued at $350 and received a response from a male who stated he would send a check for $2300. The victim was instructed to deduct the amount of the stove and her shipping fees and sending any remaining funds to a furniture company in the state of Indiana.
The check; which was from a legitimate company in the state of Arkansas was deposited in her account and the bank assured her the funds were available and several days later she sent a money gram to a Walmart store in Indiana for $1800. A short time later the Merrill bank received notice from the bank in Arkansas that the check was a actually a fake check using stolen identifiers from the Arkansas company.
When a call was placed to the "shipper" in Indiana they advised they had received three other calls today from people wondering about item's they were shipping after sales on Craig's List but the reported contact never worked there and they were not involved in Craig's List sales or deliveries. By the time the victim reached Walmart to try and stop the money order, it had already been picked up and cashed at a Walmart store in Indiana.
The investigation into this case continues.

Multiemployer Insurance Program Fact Sheet
What is a Multiemployer Plan?
- A collectively bargained pension arrangement involving unrelated employers, usually in a common industry, such as construction, trucking, textiles, or coal mining
- Different from single-employer plans. Single-employer plans may be sponsored by either:
- one employer, pursuant or not pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, or
- several unrelated employers, but not pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement
- Many multiemployer plans determine the participant's benefit on a flat dollar amount for each year of service
How is the Multiemployer Program Funded?
- The program is funded and maintained separately from PBGC's other insurance program, which covers only single-employer plans
- For 2014, each multiemployer plan pays an annual insurance premium of $12 per participant to PBGC
- PBGC provides financial assistance to plans that are unable to pay basic PBGC-guaranteed benefits when due
- Before a plan receives financial assistance from PBGC, it must suspend payment of all benefits in excess of the guarantee level

MARQUETTE - The Northern Michigan University women's volleyball team swept the Finlandia Lions, 25-7, 25-4, 25-9, in a non-conference matchup Tuesday from Vandament Arena on the NMU campus to move to 13-6 overall.
"The establishment for this match was for our non-starters to get the opportunity to play in a competitive environment," NMU head coach Dominic Yoder said. "It's also a release for them, as we have had some stressful matches over the last few weeks."
Freshman Alexis Nelson led NMU with a match-high 16 kills. Junior Kalli Herron recorded seven kills, while junior Sarah Hamilton added five.
Junior Kellisha Harley came up with 33 assists and added three service aces. Junior Lina Lopes led the Wildcats in aces with four. Senior Kalin Zimmerman led with 11 digs.
NMU finished with 42 kills on the night compared to Finlandia's six.
For the Lions (1-13), Emma Cole of Gwinn led the team with three kills. Kristen Rose posted six digs, while Cole and Lauren Jarvinen added five.

I have been working at Epsilon
Pros – Epsilon has very highly motivated and talented people working there--they are doing amazing work in the marketing technology field.
Cons – Epsilon is a small company trying to become a big company, and they are experiencing some growing pains as a result. They're working hard to establish best practices, but until they get there it's tough to find the right way to do things at times. They tend to view their employees as resources more than people at times, and work/life balance is very difficult to find on some teams (other teams are great though!).
Advice to Senior Management – I'm really proud of the way Epsilon came clean and admitted mistakes and offered help to it's customers during the data breach of early 2011. There are many, many companies out there who suffered similar or worse breaches that covered it up.

text: Prevalence of food security unchanged since 2008 Jacqui Fatka Archives Email Author Follow @@feedstuffs Published on: Sep 4, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print In a new report from the United States Department of Agriculture, the agency reported that the percentage of U.S. households that were food insecure remained essentially unchanged from 2011 to 2012 at 14.5% for 2012, or 17.6 million households. The percentage of households with food insecurity in the severe range— described as very low food security—also was unchanged at 5.7%. Typically, households classified as having very low food security experienced the condition in 7 months of the year, for a few days in each of those months. The prevalence of food insecurity has been essentially unchanged since 2008, the report noted. In 2012, 49.0 million people lived in food-insecure households (see table 1A). They constituted 15.9% of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population and included 33.1 million adults and 15.9 million children. About 8.3 million children (11.3%) lived in households in which one or more child was food insecure. About 12.4 million adults (5.3%) lived in households with very low food security, and 977,000 children (1.3%) lived in households with very low food security among children. Rates of food insecurity were substantially higher than the national average for households with incomes near or below the Federal poverty line, households with children headed by single women or single men, and Black and Hispanic households. Food insecurity was more common in large cities and rural areas than in suburban areas and exurban areas around large cities. Fifty-nine percent of food-insecure households in the survey reported that in the previous month, they had participated in one or more of the three largest Federal food and nutrition assistance programs (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP; Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children or WIC; and National School Lunch Program). Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said the report underscores the importance of programs such as the SNAP that have helped keep food insecurity from rising, even during the economic recession. "As the recovery continues and families turn to USDA nutrition programs for help to put good food on the table, this is not the time for cuts to the SNAP program that would disqualify millions of Americans and threaten a rise in food insecurity. For our part, USDA will continue to deliver a strong nutrition program with an error rate that is at a historic low," he said. When the House returns to Capitol Hill the week of Sept. 9, it is assumed that one of the top agenda items will be a stand-alone nutrition bill with an estimated $40 billion in nutrition funding cuts over the next 10 years.

The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
New Year - New You...Pets & People, Too!
HAWS has an idea for a New Year's Resolution for both you and your pet!
An old rerun of the TV show "Mad About You" was on the other day. Paul and Jamie realized their life was getting so crazy that Murray, their lovable dog, was often being left off the priorities list. After much back and forth (the usual for those two), they decided to hire a dog walker.
All went well initially – Murray and Nat got along famously, with Nat going above and beyond for his new charge. Of course, Murray bonded to Nat and there was some jealousy – but balance was achieved and the arrangement ended out working well for all involved.
The recurring joke of the situation initially was the constant question from family, friends and strangers alike: "What kind of person HIRES someone to walk their dog?!" Paul and Jamie had a difficult time explaining this at-the-time foreign concept.
Here's a quick answer for them: "The kind of person who cares about the physical and emotional health of their dog, that's who!" In our busy lives, things have to give – many of the animals at HAWS are the victims of lack of time in a household. Additionally, when we don't make time for our own good health, chances are we're not too worried about our pet's health, either.
For 2014, resolve to take care of both of you! No need to train for a triathlon; just get off the couch and take a walk around the block with your best dog buddy. Teach your cat how to fetch a crinkle ball. Read those food labels and make sure you're both optimizing your calories.
And if you're without a pet these days, c'mon over to HAWS and help exercise one of ours – or adopt if you're ready. You'll BOTH gain a lot (but not in the weight department, we promise)!
By the way – HAWS' hits the ground running in the New Year, with our Winter Symposium on 1/11, a visit from the WKLH Workforce on 1/15, our own Waukesha Jan-Boree event on 1/18…and that's just the tip of the iceberg! Learn more at hawspets.org – resolve to Advocate, Donate and Volunteer, and help HAWS Build a Society that's Humane.

Metro Vancouver targets truck traffic, port growth
Metro Vancouver's board intends to shine a brighter spotlight on challenges like road congestion and the growing pains from port expansion this year.
A new transportation committee has been created that will be chaired by Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts.
Although the regional district has no direct jurisdiction over transportation, Watts said the new committee is an appropriate place to examine issues that have impacts that go beyond the individual authority of TransLink, the provincial transportation ministry, federal government or local cities.
"There isn't one body that's looking at the whole entire system," Watts said. "With the amount of growth that's going to take place, particularly South of the Fraser over the next few years, there has to be some critical thinking in terms of traffic management and the movement of goods through the region."
Most of the effort to brace the region for forecasted port growth has consisted of Ottawa and Victoria negotiating deals to jointly build major Asia Pacific Gateway infrastructure, such as the South Fraser Perimeter Road and Roberts Bank rail corridor upgrades.
But Watts said more must be done to consider the impacts on locals, including the need for public transit, and to try to better align plans of different agencies.
More than 700,000 trucks cross the border each year and a further increase is expected as Port Metro Vancouver aims to further expand Deltaport, Watts said.
"We've got to look at where are these trucks going to go, how do they deliver goods throughout thre region and the province, and is the infrastructure in place to have that capacity?"
There's no provision yet for more truck parking as part of the plan to expand the port, Watts said.
"Now we've got everybody parking on agricultural land. So if there's an expansion at the port there's got to be something put in place to accommodate truck traffic. And that's not occurring."
The transportation committee replaces Metro's port cities committee, which was originally struck to represent cities in a dispute over port land taxation but has also examined the expected increase in oil tanker traffic from the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.
Watts expects it will continue to examine the tanker issue, among others, and seek to collaborate with railways, airports, trucking firms and other agencies influencing regional transportation.
The province's plan to replace the Massey Tunnel is another topic Watts expects will be tackled.
"What does that look like on the impact for the region?" she asked. "Are there better ways and better synergies and things we can work on collectively together?"
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, the committee's vice-chair, said it won't duplicate the work of the Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation, which is part of the TransLink governance structure but can only approve or reject significant tax hikes.
"With all due respect to TransLink, they've been scrambling around trying to put buses out there and not making any major analysis of what we've got and what we need," Jackson said.
"TransLink hasn't even begun to look at things like the Massey Tunnel. Why? Because it's not their jurisdiction."
Because Metro is charged with regulating regional growth, Jackson and Watts said the regional district has a vested interest in trying to ensure land use and transportation policies are well-coordinated and don't work against each other.
Other committee members are Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, Port Coquitlam Coun. Mike Forrest, Area A director Maria Harris, Vancouver Coun. Geoff Meggs, North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.
Metro board chair Greg Moore, who created the new transportation committee, has also appointed mayors and councillors to serve on other Metro committees for 2013. Most of the appointments are unchanged from last year.

Laura's Corner
I work very hard and am attending college to obtain my degree in the Human Service field. Writing makes me feel alive and gives me the opportunity to touch those whom I would not be able to otherwise. Last but not least, I have been blessed with two amazing daughters who love me completely and support my dreams. Feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or feedback.
X, Y and Z.....
"If you would just (X, Y or Z), you would be happy." I'm sure each one of us could fill in the blanks accordingly.
My Maternal Grandmother is a saint. Unlike me, she attends church every day. At the age of 93, she will respond the same way every single time you ask her this question, "Why have you had such a good life?" Her response, "Because I've always done the right thing."
