Obama Faces Hate
by obamaovermccain, Mon May 19, 2008 at 11:51:13 AM EDT
There are endless diaries on the rec list proclaiming the media, Obama, and his supporters are sexist and that is the main reason why Hillary is losing. So let us see how they treat Obama and his supporters.
Case in point... From uber hate site hillaryis44.org
1.I was out with my dog a while ago and suddenly wondered if every black persona I have ever known and been friends with secretly wanted to kill me....
or these little beauties
2. anybody here know anyone who does voodoo dolls?
3. I hope Barack Hussein Obama goes and chocks on a cock tonight. He'll have three choices, John Kennedy's, Larry Sinclair's and Michelle Obama.
4. Would it be really hateful of me to hope for a plane crash?
this one made me chuckle
5. dunn... I gotta go puts my DARKS in the dryer... do another load then put the WHITES in to wash
(please notice, the darks went in first, and there are twice as many of them)?
Ted Kennedy:
It got so bad at taylormarsh.com she had this to say about Teddy
1. Edward M. Kennedy is an American patriot. I pray for his return to health so he can continue the fight he's given his entire life.
After a very long day yesterday, coming home to the comments on the Senator Edward Kennedy post was a sharp blow. I have never been more disappointed in this community during the primary season than when I read some of your comments. They have been deleted, with posting to that thread disabled. It's the second time in a week I've had to disengage comments. We've had a lot of trouble in the comments recently and I realize I can't nor do I want to control anyone, but the lack of humanity from some of you towards Senator Kennedy was embarrassing. I was appalled. That you weren't was alarming
http://www.taylormarsh.com/archives_view .php?id=27717
over at Hillaryis44 here is what they said about the Lion:
2. I hate to be cynical but of course his new BFF bambi will have to rush to his side...excuse to skip out on more campaigning. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past them.
3. Karma is a bitch
4. does ted kennedy have health insurance?
at noquarter they even had classy comments such as:
5. Kennedy is indeed a testament to what money and access can do for a man who for all intents embalmed himself years ago.
He'd be dead if he had the sort of health most working class Americans have.
Too bad he endorsed a miscreant that wants to gut Social Security and keep the medical system the way it is.
It really says a lot about Kennedy and none of is good. The man reeks of hypocrisy.
Can't feel sorry for him one bit.
Hillary supports are always lamenting that everyone plays the sexist card Hillary, but Obama has had to endure many racist comments and attitudes from FELLOW DEMOCRATS
Here is his field office in Indiana
Offices in Texas where spray painted with the words racist on them
From this Washington post article take a gander at what supporters had to go through.
For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed -- and unreported -- this election season. Doors have been slammed in their faces. They've been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they've endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can't fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president.

Mail consolidation under review
Date: June 23, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
The U.S. Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General has agreed to conduct an independent review of the USPS's plan to consolidate mail processing operations at the Manasota Processing and Distribution Center in Tallevast.
Congressman Vern Buchanan began fighting for the review after the USPS announced its decision in March to eliminate 59 jobs there.
Originating mail and processing and distribution operations would have been moved to the distribution center in Tampa by April 1, 2010.
"The community has a lot at stake," Buchanan in a press release. "This audit will help us determine if in fact the consolidation will save money and improve service. If not, it shouldn't happen."
The Office of Inspector General is expected to review the proposed efficiency gains, cost savings, staffing changes and service implications as well as issues such as the public hearing process and public transparency.

Importance Of Website Design
Aug 08, 2010
A website is the online identity of a business. It represents your business, sells the company's name and its products and attracts more visitors. A good website also helps you to gain more return on your investments by generating more business leads and promoting your products and services. In order to enjoy the full benefits of having a business website, you need to have a good website design. Several aspects of the website are developed at the design-stage― layout, color, sound, content, its functions, etc. Just as you won't think of building a house without first considering its design, similarly it is very important to get the design of your website right.
Why Does Your Business Need To Have A Website?
Electronic commerce has become an important aspect of marketing strategy. Therefore, businesses need to have effective websites for gaining recognition. In today's world online businesses face fierce competition from each other. Every company is constantly on the lookout for even the slightest advantage which can go a long way in keeping it ahead of its competition. Establishing a strong brand identity with an instantly recognizable website design is the simplest way to differentiate your online presence from the next one.
Features Of A Good Website Design
A good website should be well-designed and able to attract visitors. Since people are more stimulated by visual images than speech, the website has to be visually appealing to all. It must be easy to navigate and have high usability. Your business website can't afford to neglect its content at the cost of visual imagery. The website content has to be strong and relevant and updated regularly. But most importantly, it should be able to retain the attraction of the visitors and compel them to come back for more.
Things To Keep In Mind While Designing A Website
Every aspect of the website conveys certain message about your business to the visitors. Since the site represents your business and its objectives, you must be careful that people interpret it correctly. Proper attention must be given to the choice of colors, lights, visual effects and size of contents, since they all have a particular significance.
Types Of Website Design
There are two types of website design―static and dynamic. The static website design is based on basic HTML code. But the dynamic website design is developed with advanced technologies, using the information given in the database. Dynamic website is gaining in popularity because it provides the administrator with quick self information updating facility. It also looks more attractive than the static website and has diverse applications.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
The quality of Search Engine Optimization service is another important aspect for a well designed business website. This would ensure that your website ranks high in search engine result page and attract more traffic to the website. The website optimization process incorporates relevant key words to the website and thus, enhances link popularity. Therefore, it attracts more clients, resulting in a successful business. To make certain that your business has a good website design; you need to hire a professional website design firm. The qualified and experienced designers are capable of turning viewers into potential clients. There are many affordable website design firms for you to choose from, but make sure you choose the best. To excel in your online business, you must have an enticing website design.

Reseachers succeed in developing biocompatible graphene transistor array capable of reading living cells signals
This research opens the feasibility of using graphene-based bioelectronics such as neuroprosthetic implants in the brain, the eye, or the ear
|28 November 2011
Researchers from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen and the Juelich Research Center have created the first of its kind graphene transistor array capable of recording signals generated by living cells, with good spatial and temporal resolution.
The proof-of-concept platform opens the way for further investigation of a promising new material. Graphene's distinctive combination of characteristics makes it a leading contender for future biomedical applications requiring a direct interface between microelectronic devices and nerve cells or other living tissue.
The experimental setup reported in Advanced Materials began with an array of 16 graphene solution-gated field-effect transistors (G-SGFETs) fabricated on copper foil by chemical vapour deposition and standard photolithographic and etching processes.
Directly on top of this array, the researchers grew a layer of biological cells similar to heart muscle. Not only were the "action potentials" of individual cells detectable above the intrinsic electrical noise of the transistors, but these cellular signals could be recorded with high spatial and temporal resolution. For example, a series of spikes separated by tens of milliseconds moved across the transistor array in just the way action potentials could be expected to propagate across the cell layer. Also, when the cell layer was exposed to a higher concentration of the stress hormone norepinephrine, a corresponding increase in the frequency of spikes was recorded.
Dr. Jose Antonio Garrido, a member of the Walter Schottky Institute at TUM, said, "The sensing mechanism of these devices is rather simple.", and added, "Variations of the electrical and chemical environment in the vicinity of the FET gate region will be converted into a variation of the transistor current. Garrido explained that "Much of our ongoing research is focused on further improving the noise performance of graphene devices. And on optimizing the transfer of this technology to flexible substrates such as parylene and kapton, both of which are currently used for in vivo implants. We are also working to improve the spatial resolution of our recording devices."
The researchers are also working with scientists at the Paris-based Vision Institute to investigate the biocompatibility of graphene layers in cultures of retinal neuron cells, as well as within a broader European project called NEUROCARE, which aims at developing brain implants based on flexible nanocarbon devices.
Research paper: Graphene Transistor Arrays for Recording Action Potentials from Electrogenic Cells; Advanced Materials 2011, 23, 5045-5049. DOI: 10.1002/adma.201102990

Three days to go before we elect the next U.S. President (or the same one for another four years), and before Puerto Ricans take a vote of their own: a referendum to decide their political future. Puerto Ricans have been down this road before, but this time, the question will be put directly to them: Do they want island's present territorial status to remain? It's a way of making residents choose between statehood and independence, without giving them the option to cast their vote for the status quo. Not everyone is thrilled about this, by the way.
For the record, this referendum on its own does not change anything for Puerto Rico. A vote for statehood or independence does not automatically make it so.
And I can understand Puerto Ricans' indecision. There are clear benefits and drawbacks for each option. Statehood has immediate benefits, but would it compromise some of the things that make Puerto Rico such a unique place? Independence would be a new chapter for a people who have endured foreign rule for over 500 years (although the island was independent for a historical blink of an eye in 1897), but how would Puerto Rico fare economically? As for remaining a commonwealth, many feel that's not a viable permanent solution, and that it's about time Puerto Ricans decide their fate.
Me? I choose to look at it from purely a tourism point of view, and look at what would happen to U.S. travel and tourism if Puerto Rico was a state.

Mistake blamed for housing association's money woes (From Witney Gazette)

Mistake blamed for housing association's money woes
Updated 11:16pm Tuesday 25th June 2013 in News
A HOUSING association that was heavily criticised after getting into financial difficulties has blamed the problems on "a mistake".
Cottsway, based in Witney, had its governance and viability ratings downgraded by its regulator, the Homes and Communities Agency, last month.
It had to hand over £6.3m of grants for 289 West Oxfordshire homes to housing association GreenSquare – which it is now in merger discussions with.
The problems occurred after Cottsway failed to secure its debts against the buildings, meaning it was unable to get loans for additional houses.
West Oxfordshire District Council, which handed over 3,600 houses to Cottsway when it formed in 2001, called in the association for questioning last Tuesday.
Councillor Liz Leffman asked: "How on earth did this happen? It seems to be quite fundamental to how the organisation works that the loans were charged."
Cottsway chief executive Owen Ingram said: "We know how it occurred but I am not sure in the present time it would be sensible for that to be shared in the open arena. Simply, it was a mistake."
He added: "Cottsway is financially sound, the tenants are safe and new homes will be delivered."
Councillor Louise Chapman said after the meeting: "I am reassured by what we have heard."
Cottsway will make a decision on whether to merge with GreenSquare next month.

Mediterranean, Delaware County?
We just moved to Media a few weeks ago and while there are lots of restaurants for a small town, we haven't yet come upon one of our favorite types, Mediterranean. Does anyone know of a place? For now I'll definitely settle for "ok+" rather than "incredible," tho' of course if incredible exists that's even better!
If you're willing to go a little further (about 22 mi.) then Casablanca in New Castle, DE has outstanding Moroccan food. It's a really luscious seven-course dinner that's worth the drive, although admittedly I haven't been there in a couple of years. But when I went, the place had already been there for about 20 years, so I doubt it has changed much. That was the best Mediterranean food I've ever eaten.
I know this is an older post, so please tell me you have found:
The Mediterranean
150 W Gay St
West Chester, PA 19380
(610) 431-7074
I have been telling everyone about this place, I love it that much.
Best Mediterranean I have come across in the area, though sometimes the service leaves a little to be desired.
re: disarmmyheart
Funny that you should be reviving this thread just now...we just decided a couple days ago that for my birthday tomorrow night, we'll drive up to West Chester (a little further, I guess) to try out Olive Tree Grill, recommended in another thread by you and several others. That looks to be more traditional Greek, which we also love. I'd done a search on it here on Chowhound because they'd advertised in the ad book of an excellent Greek festival we went to not that long ago.
How would you compare the two restaurants? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just comfortable atmosphere and good food.
re: disarmmyheart
I love The Mediterranean myself. I live right in town so it's great b/c it's a 2 1/2 block walk and BYOB. I try to be understanding about the service only b/c I know it's a husband wife team, every dish is made to order and they often don't have any other help. Not an excuse but if you know that going into it it makes it a little less irritating. We just figure have an extra glass of wine (or 2).
You could travel to 10th & Spruce to Kanella and here's a recent review from a chowhounder (just above this post). I haven't been there since this past Summer, but really enjoyed the food:
"finally went to kanella! took a group there for dinner last night. excellent excellent excellent! service was top-notch and our food was really, really great. we ordered just about one of everything on the appetizer menu (except for the meatballs, i think) and additionally got the salted cod special. it was such a flurry of plates and bites, lots of complex dishes and i can't remember what was what, but everything i sampled was delicious. and tho i didn't try it, people raved about the lamb in particular (though i think the couscous accompanied this one, and that was fabulous). for entrees i sampled the pasta, an entree salt cod special, and the mahi mahi filet.... all were excellent again. there was so much beer and wine being passed around, that i can't honestly say i remember much about dessert. we did get a trio of ice creams - i think mint, cardamom and lemongrass. the lemongrass was a little subtle for me, but the mint i remember being fabulous. sorry for the lack of details. i'll have to revisit soon and remember more!"

Donning a gold rope with a watch and luxurious fur coat, Big Boi pays tribute to his hometown with fellow Atlanta rappers T.I. and Ludacris in his new video for "In the A," from Big Boi's Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. Though all three can now afford the high life, they cruise the less glamorous spots of Atlanta, taking it back to their more humble roots. Rolling Stone's Simon Vozick-Levinson called it the best track on the album, "an old-school, ego-fueled lyrical jag." But despite the boasts, these guys haven't forgotten where they came from.

One hundred and ninety people ran and walked in the 14th annual Beat the Odds race in an effort to raise awareness and money for cancer research. The rain held off Saturday morning for runners and walkers who were participating in the event.
The Mitkof Dance Troupe performed in the community gym and Mindy Anderson spoke to the crowd before the race kicked off.
"Many of you here have cancer yourselves and we know that some day we're going to beat this," Anderson said. "We're going to beat the odds. And we're here to celebrate those of us who have it and are getting through it and we're here to celebrate the people that we miss and love."
The crowd lined up at the starting line outside the community gym. Some were on bikes and others had their dogs accompanying them on the 5K route.
Karin Christensen, a Beat the Odds organizer, said the event was also a memorial for Annabelle Baker. Baker, a local artist and original Beat the Odds organizer, passed away last year from cancer.
Joan Sebastian has run the race off and on for the last ten years. She raced in memory of Baker, Jane Egger, and her mother who is a breast cancer survivor.
"It's a great community event," Sebastian said. "You mix fitness with a good cause."
The event tends to raise around $8,000 to $12,000 annually in proceeds.
Michele Parker, Beat the Odds committee co-chair and cancer survivor, said proceeds from individual participation haven't been tallied but the group earned $14,000 from sponsors alone this year. Papa Bear's Pizza also donated 25 percent of its Saturday's sales to the cause.
Proceeds go to three cancer groups across Southeast Alaska and Petersburg Medical Center. At PMC, donations fund chemotherapy equipment and training, equipment, educational books and a free mammogram program. Proceeds also help fund travel costs for patients to travel to medical facilities outside of Petersburg where other cancer care options are provided.
Those who didn't participate in the race that want to contribute can still purchase Beat the Odds t-shirts at Lee's Clothing.
A cancer support group meets the first and third Fridays of each month in the library. True North Counseling & Consultation and Petersburg Mental Health Services offer free counseling services.
Parker urges anyone with questions related to support groups, resources or Beat the Odds to contact her at 907-518-1023.

The extraterrestrial (ET) study by NASA and Penn State scientists isn't so much an example of loony liberalism run amok as it is a perfect case of how useless deep scientific knowledge can be in a practical sense.
The trio of ET scientists, now backtracking and mocked the world over, put together a reasonable overview of what we know and what we can guess about a possible alien encounter - 33 pages of not much. But when it came to guessing how people - both human and non- - would react to such an encounter, the geographer, the meteorologist and NASA's planetary scientist went from typical academic time-wasting to scientific fraud.
The "scientists" offered three "practical recommendations."
Two were obvious: (1) Watch what you say because (2) we don't really know much about them. That happens to be what my mother told me when a new boy moved in down the street - common sense, for which you don't need a graduate education or a taxpayer-financed job.
The only other recommendation - and the one that led to all the global-warming headlines - is that "humanity should avoid the appearance of being a rapidly expanding civilization" because aliens might see our polluted atmosphere and view us as a future threat. Aggressive aliens would attack us. Eco-fanatic aliens would punish us. Therefore, we should fight global warming or something.
But that ignores the "scientists" more banal recommendations: We don't know how they'll react to what we communicate or what values they'll use to decide. Thus, if we stop "rapidly expanding" and become the "sustainable" or shrinking society these experts suggest, we could just as easily cause aggressive aliens to attack because we look weak or offend them for some reason we'll never understand.
It's a good reason to remember that just because someone has a Ph.D., it doesn't mean he knows much more than your mother.

As the sun set at the end of the first week of school, Harlandale ISD was lit up by the glow of Friday night lights. The Harlandale High School Indians faced the South San Bobcats on August 31.
HHS won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, giving South San their first chance at the end zone. The Bobcats fought for every yard but were only able to score one touchdown the entire game. The Indians defense kept them from the end zone while the offense ran the field leading to the maroon and gold victory of 31-6.

Two 14-year-old females are facing multiple charges including simple assault and harassment after they allegedly threw Gummi Bears and attacked a woman in the parking lot of in Lower Nazareth Township, according to .
According to a public information release:
On Aug. 12 around 11:36 p.m., police responded to a fight in progress in the front parking lot of Regal Cinema in the Northampton Crossings shopping center.
Following an investigation, it was revealed that a couple who exited the movie theater exchanged words with a group of juveniles sitting outside about littering.
As the couple -- including an adult woman -- continued to walk toward their car, the two female juveniles followed them and started throwing Gummi Bears at their vehicle.
When the woman, who was not identified by police, told the girls to stop, the girls physically attacked her.
Both parties were separated and walked away, but as the woman attempted to get the license plate of the vehicle the juveniles got into, the girls again attacked the woman, knocking her to the ground -- kicking and hitting her.
The parties were again separated by Regal Cinema employees. One of the juveniles had to be pulled off the woman, who was lying on the ground.
A juvenile referral will be filed on the behalf of both juveniles for simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment through Northampton County's juvenile court system.
Police did not release the girls' names because of their age.

Omaha police were dispatched to investigate a burglary at the Amtrak station downtown late Sunday night. While officers spoke to the victim, a witness told police that he saw the suspect remove a handgun from his waistband and place it on the ground near the train.
The suspect allegedly stole a computer from the victim's luggage.
Officers found the gun and questioned the suspect, who is identified as 39-year-old William T. McGlaughlen of Warsaw, Illinois. He was arrested booked for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Police say McGlaughlen had three prior felony convictions in another state.

Excellent response.
"And just think, a week ago, right on this very website, it was said the we would be getting a break on gas prices over Memorial Day. What they didn't say was that it will be our finances that will be breaking." WE ARE getting a break, as it could be higher than last year, and it probably will be within days. We didn't get much of a break this time around.
Never have. I am going to write in today to try to get an answer.

London Fletcher's active NFL record streak of 237 consecutive games played is pretty impressive. What's perhaps more impressive is the oddity that among those 237 games, the Washington Redskins veteran linebacker has never played one in his hometown of Cleveland.
That'll change Sunday, but Fletcher's mind is focused on the game and result, not his homecoming.
"To be going home, it's always special. Grew up a Browns fans so still like the Browns," Fletcher said. "But it's still just another game that we need to win. So I can't get caught up in any of that."
Fletcher said pretty much his whole family still lives in Cleveland. He didn't go to many games as a kid but his Browns fandom is legit.
"Just grew up disliking the Broncos, the Steelers, back then the Bengals. All those teams that were rivals to us," he said. "Still remember The Drive, The Fumble – all those different plays. I even remember [quarterback] Brian Sipe."
But that emotional connection doesn't mean Fletcher, who's questionable with a lingering left ankle injury, will need to temper his excitement.
"I mean, I've played against the Browns before so this is not my first time playing against them. So it's not a situation where it's something I'm not used to," Fletcher said. "But going home, I mean, obviously there's a little bit of difference. But at the end of the day once the ball is kicked off you're just playing football and focusing on that."

Passariello's Pizzeria & Italian Eatery, a Moorestown mainstay for more than 16 years, will be undergoing major renovations over the next several months.
According to Pasquale Passariello, who founded the restaurant he now owns with his three brothers and sister, the need to renovate the 112-year-old building is not just due to the facility's age, but also out of a necessity to expand the restaurant's year-round seating capacity and increase, as well as modernize, its cooking and pizza production capabilities.
Jean Altenberg, a spokesperson for the eatery, said at least part of the outdoor deck in back of the restaurant will become permanent indoor seating. She said the owners are "still debating" whether to keep some outdoor seating.
To improve delivery times, additional ovens will be installed for takeout and delivery. A new catering kitchen will also be added, as well as a special glassed-in display area where patrons can watch the restaurant's homemade being made, Altenberg said.
The restaurant facade will also be redone, though Altenberg said it will still blend in with the rest of Main Street.
"It's going to look more authentic Italian," she explained.
Prior to Passariello's, the 13 W. Main St. location was the home of Marcello's Pizza, the Manor House and Newlan's Restaurant.
The construction contract for the project was awarded to Moorestown-based Grace Construction out of a field of eight bidders.
"It was very important to us that we give this project to a locally-owned contractor," Passariello stated. "Moorestown has been very good to the Passariello family over the years and it was nice to award this to a 'neighbor' in whose management we have the utmost confidence."
The design team is led by Thomas B. Wagner Architects, PMH Engineering, JTS Civil and Theodore Barber & Company, Food Service Designs.
The renovations won't cause any interruption in restaurant operations during the two construction periods; the first will soon be underway and will last through the end of the year, and the second will pick up in mid-February through early spring.
During the first phase, the rear of the restaurant will be under construction—reducing the amount of available parking in the back lot—but patrons can still find limited parking there, as well as ample parking in the municipal lot just a few doors down (behind PNC Bank).
Passariello stated the renovation is the next step in what he called "big plans" for the family-owned establishment, which currently boasts a second location in Voorhees.
"The Moorestown renovation is a stepping stone for the further expansion of the company," he said. "We know our father would be proud of our vision to grow the brand."
Altenberg said the owners are looking at possibly opening a new location in the near future, but couldn't provide any more information.

A man apparently drunk inside the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem – he told police he spent around $600 at the casino's Vision Bar – ended up on the floor struggling with two state troopers because the man refused to leave.
The incident involving Jose Antonio Rivera Jr., 38, of Allentown occurred early Sunday. About seven hours before, city police were called to the Sands and ended up arresting a Reading man for allegedly stealing a $40 bottle of fragrance from a casino store.
Court records in the Rivera case said police were alerted shortly before 2:30am about a disorderly person who refused to leave "after being asked … multiple times." At one point, the records say, Rivera told security officials to "go ahead" and call police.
The case was handled by state police's Sands gaming office. Trooper Jeffrey Kowalski wrote in a criminal complaint that as he tried to take Rivera into custody, the man said "do not touch me" and attempted to get away from the trooper.
Rivera, Kowalski and a second trooper ended up on the floor, with Rivera refusing to put his hands behind his back so troopers could handcuff him. And once the troopers succeeded, he refused to walk.
In a later interview with Kowalski, who notes at this point that Rivera smelled strongly of alcohol, the suspect said that before trying to enter the gaming floor, he spent around $600 in the Vision Bar.
Rivera, of 332 W. Lexington Ave. on Allentown's south side, was charged with resisting arrest, criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness/similar misconduct. He was arraigned at 6am Sunday by on-duty District Judge Todd Strohe of Bangor and committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail.
In the earlier incident at the Sands, Stephen A. Liggs, 49, was accused of stealing a bottle of fragrance from Spritz Designer Fragrances.
City officer Jason Holschwander wrote in a criminal complaint that store employees saw Liggs take a $40 bottle of Franck Olivier Sun Java White fragrance from a shelf, conceal it and walk out, ignoring their requests to return the item.
Holschwander took Liggs into custody after the 7:45pm incident and found the bottle in one of the bags Liggs was carrying.
Liggs, whose address in Reading is listed as 1125 Meade St., was charged with retail theft. But because he has two prior retail theft convictions, the Sands charge rose to a level-three felony.
He was arraigned at 12:30am Sunday by Strohe and committed to county prison in lieu of $2,000 bail.

"I like my job."
Pros – Exxon is a great company to work for in terms of available experiances. They have operations worldwide and in most cases, you get to go to the location you work on. I also feel like my work is meaningful. I get to directly track how it affects the bottom line.
Cons – The downside of exxon is their annual employee assesment process. They rank all of their employees and assign you to a bucket (middle, low or upper). While this is a benfit in my mind because it give direct feedback on your performance, the process acts like more of black box because you are unaware of who the individuals are that are number 1 and what they do differtent to get there. I feel like a lot of politics play in to it at some point.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep on keeping on. They generally do a pretty good job and are approachable in my opinion.

Foundry's AYCE Crawfish Boil...has anyone been??
went to The Foundry's crawfish boil tonight.
it was ok.
far from bad, but also, far from being a destination.
Music was great! Crawfish was over cooked.
re: Hershey Bomar
re: the food
crawfish was overcooked and over-salted.
jambalaya showed no evidence of any seafood content. the only discernible tastes were rice, seasonings (mostly salt), sausage, pork. if there was any chicken or seafood content, it was not noticeable.
the best item of the food they served were the tiny sections of sweet corn that were served with a spicy broth.
even though the online menu said they'd be serving okra, there was no okra.
also, if you are going to serve a meal on paper plates with plastic utensils that your guests will be consuming while standing up, it would be nice if the tables (all of which are communal) were the proper height (i.e. tall enough) for stand-up-eating.
maybe i'm spoiled about music, but wasn't impressed with the music either.
i mean, obviously, i knew that they weren't going to be having BeauSoleil playing, but, imho, this just didn't cut it even for free music at a restaurant.

Harvest Crusade in San Angelo: Group of pastors bring broadcast to Convention Center
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: Harvest America simulcast
When: 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26
Where: McNease Convention Center, 500 Rio Concho Drive
What else: Admission is free and includes free food from the Baptist Men's Feeding Unit as well as balloon animals for children in attendance
Information: 325-944-8409
To say that Pastor Tony Garcia is enthusiastic about the Harvest America simulcast Aug. 26 would be a gross understatement.
Garcia, who is one of a handful of local pastors involved in coordinating the simulcast in San Angelo, was "saved" at the first-ever Harvest Crusade evangelistic outreach event in his native California. Garcia was involved with the event each year thereafter before moving to San Angelo 12 years ago to start Calvary Chapel.
Harvest America, a simulcast of the 21-year-old Harvest Crusades held annually in California, this year will reach 1,600 venues across the United States, including — for the first time — the McNease Convention Center in San Angelo. The free event begins at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, and will include free food and a simulcast with a message from evangelist Greg Laurie and performances from Mercy Me and Jeremy Camp.
"I think it's pretty cool that we get to be a part of something this large scale in San Angelo, Texas," Garcia said.
The event is open to church congregations, but the main goal is to draw in younger generations who don't attend church and have not accepted Christ, Garcia said. Harvest America in San Angelo, he said, could potentially reach 800 to 900 people.
If the turnout isn't as expected, the simulcast still will be worthwhile, Garcia said. "If just one person gets saved, it would be as exciting as if there were 100,000 getting saved," he said.
The days-long Harvest Crusades was the brainchild of acclaimed minister Chuck Smith, who started the event with Laurie as its host in 1990. In 1995, Harvest Crusade drew 165,000 people to Angel Stadium of Anaheim — its largest crowd to date. By 2008, the crusade had 109,000 attendees and 128,263 online viewers.
"It just keeps getting bigger every year," Garcia said.
Laurie's straightforward preaching style — and the crusade's ever-changing musical lineup of contemporary Christian acts that appeal to younger crowds — are major reasons for its success, Garcia said.
"Pastor Chuck has a phrase, and it's part of what Greg teaches: Simply teach the Word simply," Garcia said. "People listen to his message and go, 'Man, that's all you got? I didn't see anything special.' (But) it's the power of the Holy Spirit doing what he promised to do."
Jeff Hill, pastor of local addiction ministry U-Turn for Christ, also has attended Harvest Crusades in California. Laurie "is a gifted evangelist, and God uses him in a powerful way," Hill said.
The salvation that oftentimes results from attending the event can have a mushroom effect.
"I think when God moves in your own life … you're so encouraged by that, so you tell everybody, 'Hey, something happened to me'," said Corky Stone, pastor at Victory Christian Center.
Garcia can attest firsthand to the event's power. Before his son invited him to attend the event in 1990, he was not living as a Christian, he said.
"From the day I got saved, my wife and I were a part of" the crusades, he said.
When Garcia couldn't attend the event in person, he'd watch the podcast as soon as it became available.
"When I heard Greg say he wanted to go across the country, I said, 'Yes! Finally!" he said.
Despite Garcia's passion for the event, he didn't take over planning the simulcast here without first consulting his peers, said Leslie Smith, operations minister at Journey Bible Church.
"It was collective," Smith said. "I think that's going to be instrumental in the unity of what the churches do."
Added Garcia: "It's been encouraging to see because we know that with 12 men Jesus changed the whole world. When we look at numbers, there's enough of us (local pastors involved) to see change take place" here as well.

The Liberal Senate Forum
On December 12, 2002, Senator Ringuette was appointed to the Senate by the Rt. Honourable Jean Chrétien to represent the Senatorial Division of New Brunswick.
Honourable senators, my question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. In the previous line of questioning about CIDA, the leader referred several times to the government's commitment to accountability and said that she had not received applause. However, honourable senators, the leader's government received applause when, in the interest of accountability, it appointed a Parliamentary Budget Officer. Applause was given to it in this place. The leader received congratulations from this side, because it was a good move.
However, the relationship between the leader's government and the PBO has not been sanguine entirely. This past Monday, a question of privilege was raised in the other place regarding her government's refusal to release the cost estimates of its tough-on-crime legislation.
The Prime Minister is a pretty good piano player and quite a versatile one, but since last autumn, the only tune that this government seems to be playing is about putting more and more people in jail for longer and longer.
Honourable senators, Canadians have a right and we here have a right to know just how much these American-style super-prisons will cost. The Conservative government has replied that it is not required to submit the estimates to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, citing cabinet confidence.
That is a red herring, I think, because the legislation has been introduced and it is now in the public domain. It is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask how much it will cost. The Parliamentary Budget Officer is asking that question.
For a government that claims to be transparent and accountable, the leader must recognize that the Parliamentary Budget Officer cannot do his job if he is not given the information with which to do his calculations. He cannot provide estimates. He cannot provide comments on estimates. He cannot provide comments, as he is supposed to, on proposed government spending unless he is given the information.
Will the leader tell us why her government will not provide the Parliamentary Budget Officer with the information on the cost of building prisons and housing more prisoners?

Good saurkraut?
The crock in my living room :)
More serious reply -- there's a store on Davie (near, I think Broughton ?) that specialises in European foods. They have more pickles and sauerkraut than I've seen anywhere. Could be a good place to check if Oyama fails you.
since we no longer have those old-time canning contacts (I think this was mentioned in a pickle thread here too) ... the sauerkraut we like is sold at small specialty stores, incl butcher shops - it's from the heartland of Cdn sauerkraut - St Jacobs ON
Here is what the label says (i happen to have some in my freezer (yes - freezer))
St. Jacobs Foods
New Hamburg ON
"made naturally for you"
it says it contains cabbage and salt (that's it)
and is packaged in a clear plastic vacuum sealed bag
500 grams
no additives or preservatives
keep refrigerated
i know this doesn't help the OP --- but for anyone who goes up to the sunshine coast (sechelt) - i have seen it at Butcher Dave's place (aka Butcher's Block meat market) on your right as you enter the big 4-way stoplight intersection in Sechelt - there is a coffee bistro place and dry cleaner and Lighthouse Cold Beer / Wine next to it. I think Dave is from that part of ontario, so i would think he knows what he's talking about re: this type of product.
i have even frozen it! and it when thawed, it was just fine.
a pkg is about $3.50.
i quickly googled and i found this ---
St Jacob's Foods
3171 Bleams E
New Hamburg, Ontario N3A 3J3

On tonight's season finale of "All Star Celebrity Apprentice" country music star Trace Adkins beat magician Penn Jillette and was awarded $250,000 for his charity. The finale began with the culmination of the last task. Penn was able to edit down his video by removing the part with Dennis Rodman and showing it at the presentation as bonus footage. Trace decided to have Gary sing a Buddy Holly song at the presentation, which went over well with Trump and the audience. Not surprisingly, Penn did some magic at his presentation and invited famous Vegas acts like Wayne Newton and the Blue Man Group. Both shows went very well, making Donald's decision a hard one. At the final boardroom session, Trump gave LaToya, Dennis and Gary $20,000 each for their charities since they hadn't won anything on the show. We then joined Trump live in New York where this season's celebs were reunited to hear the results. Donald first announced that Penn's ice cream had sold better than Trace's, earning him an extra $100,000. Before Trump made his final decision he gave Lil Jon $100,000 for his charity in honor of his mother, who recently passed away. Finally Penn and Trace made their pleas as to why they should win. In the end, Donald announced that the All Star Celebrity Apprentice was Trace!
What did you think of the finale? Did Trace deserve to win or was Penn robbed? Leave a comment and share your thoughts!

June 27, 2013
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to halt frivolous patent infringement claims against public transit systems throughout the country by two foreign companies.
Over the last three years, Arrivalstar S.A., located in Luxembourg, and its affiliate, Melvino Technologies Ltd., an offshore firm in British Virgin Islands, have filed claims stating that they own or are the exclusive licensee of patents relating to arrival and status messaging systems for the transportation industry. Arrivalstar has made these claims, yet it appears they have never done research or developed technology or products related to the patents.
APTA, which is being represented by the Public Patent Foundation, is asking the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, to declare that its public transportation system members cannot be sued for patent infringement by ArrivalStar. The lawsuit states that ArrivalStar's patents are invalid and unenforceable and that the claims cover ineligible subject matter. In addition, the lawsuit asserts that the 11th amendment prohibits state and regional entities from being subject to such suits.
In its lawsuit, APTA states that ArrivalStar's goal in filing each suit was not to seek a remedy for a legitimate claim but rather to settle for an amount below the cost to each defendant to defend itself in court. At least 11 transit systems have been subject to these harassment claims and decided to settle them rather than undertake expensive and time-consuming litigation, which would cost tens of millions of dollars.
"Our public transit systems have been improving the customer experience by providing real-time schedule and travel information to riders," said James LaRusch, APTA chief counsel. "These systems, which are operating under severe financial constraints, are being saddled with these outrageous harassment claims that are a waste of time and money. This must be stopped."
Also yesterday, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill), of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, urging the agency to follow through with its proposal to launch an investigation into the practices of "patent assertion entities" suing governmental agencies, transit systems included, over questionable claims of patent infringement.
"This type of litigation undercuts the purpose of the patent system and exploits the fact that public agencies are at a financial disadvantage," said Rep. Lipinski, co-chair of the new Public Transportation Caucus. "These lawsuits only hurt taxpayers in my district and elsewhere who rely on a vital public service, especially when many transit agencies already are struggling in these tight financial times."
The increase in patent infringement claims against public transit systems parallels claims on software and electronic processes in other industries. On June 4, the Obama Administration cracked down on these claims by issuing several executive orders and proposing Congressional action "to protect innovators from frivolous legislation."

The Benefits of Door-to-Door Service in ADA Complementary Paratransit Many U.S. transit agencies continue to struggle with the quality of ADA service, the costs, and the difficulties encountered in contracting the service, which is the method of choice for a significant majority of agencies. One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

Problem: You encounter an error reading NameError: undefined local variable or method `a' for #
Solution: You've referred to a local variable that doesn't yet exist. In Ruby, you don't have to declare variables, but you have to assign something to them before they can be referred to. For instance, the following code will generate the error above.
puts a
Since the variable a hasn't yet been assigned to, Ruby will raise a NameError exception. Instead, variables must be assigned to before they can be used.
a = 10
puts a
So why are you getting this error? The obvious answer is you're referring to a variable that hasn't yet been created. This is most often due to a typo or while refactoring code and renaming variables. So look back over your code, try to see what this variable is supposed to be referring to, and fix it. You may also want to search for other instances of the same variable name in the same method, as if it's wrong in one place, it may be wrong in others.

Heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Nationals were leading 3-2 at Yankee Stadium. That's exactly the precipice where they seem to fall off every time. And they did again tonight, thanks to a couple of rocket doubles Elijah Dukes couldn't catch.
Ron Villone gave up a leadoff single to Johnny Damon in the eighth, and then Mark Teixeira hit a shot to the 399-foot sign in left center. Dukes jumped for it, but the ball slipped past his glove and went off his bare right hand. He stopped and pumped his fist angrily for a minute while the ball skipped to Adam Dunn, and a relay to home plate was a second too late to get Damon.
Two batters later, Robinson Cano hit a searing liner to center. Dukes took a step in, then backtracked and couldn't grab the ball with a leap. That scored Teixeira, and the Yankees had the lead for good.
"In his defense, he's not a natural center fielder," manager Manny Acta said. "Those balls were hit pretty good. Would I want him to catch every one of them? Yes. But he did make an effort."
Asked if the balls should have been caught, Villone said, "They hit two hard. No matter what, they shouldn't be hit that hard. Whether they caught it or not, that is really more irrelevant to me than where I have the pitch and where they hit it. You leave balls up and give them a chance instead of getting balls on the ground. I didn't do my job. I was trying to get ground balls. I blame myself more than anybody else. It stinks at this point, because I've done it a couple times."
This is the fourth straight game (all on this road trip) where the Nationals have blown leads.
They're now 13-17 when tied or ahead at the start of the seventh inning. Think about that for a minute. More than a third of the Nationals' losses have come when they're at least tied at the start of the seventh.
That's why this is a more frustrating last-place team than last year's, because just as often as not, the Nationals aren't overmatched. They're just losing late.

After weeks and weeks of having one of the longest injury lists in the league, the Washington Capitals are suddenly a few days away from being close to full health. A lot can happen between now and then, but things are trending upward in the injury department.
Tomas Fleischmann and Sergei Fedorov skated with the team, and both could be back in the lineup by this weekend. Fleischmann has been out with a slight case of pneumonia. He said he didn't lose a lot of weight because it wasn't a severe case, but he was shut down for five days. He didn't rule out playing tomorrow, but both he and Bruce Boudreau said that Friday against Columbus is a more likely date for his return.
Fedorov has missed 25 of the past 28 games with an ankle sprain. He went through the full practice, and was walking around afterwards without a limp. He said he hopes to be back by Saturday for the game in Montreal, and Boudreau echoed that sentiment. If both of those guys come back, the Caps will suddenly be flush with healthy forwards. We'll be back to writing about which guys will need to be healthy scratches instead of which guys can actaully play or not.
Tom Poti and John Erskine also skated today — Poti before practice and Erskine with the team. Neither guy is as close to returning as Fedorov/Fleischmann.
Lots of talk today after practice about the budding rivalry with the Flyers. Sure, they had a hard-fought, seven-game series last year and the Caps haven't forgotten the 7-1 score from earlier this year, but I have a hard time buying into the "Flyers are the biggest rivals now" theory.
The hype for next week's game in Pittsburgh is going to be in overdrive thanks to the stuff Alexander Semin said earlier this season. The minute he or Sidney Crosby look at each other the wrong way, or the minute Alex Ovechkin starts hunting down Evgeni Malkin will be when people remember who the "biggest rival" really is.
