Why do people even use banks anymore?
Because it beats keeping $50,000 in life savings under your mattress...
If you want to avoid user fees when taking money out of the bank, the simple solution is don't take money out of the bank in a way that would result in user fees.
Though, I do think the US could possibly benefit from a more nationalized debit system like the one Canada has with Interac.
I use a local bank (four branches) that does not have institutional ATM fees AND will refund fees incurred at the ATM itself. Dump the big guys!
Sorry, I wasn't clearer--- I meant why does anyone use a National bank with their "too big to fail" history over a credit union.
Awesome. Sorry I wasn't clearer earlier--- your local bank sounds a lot like a credit union. I love the ability to use any credit union ATM for free.
I use a bank, I love my bank. I used a credit union for a while, and lets just say I was less than satisfied with how they operated. For one thing I could never get my debit card activated because they mailed it to you and I wasn't able to get down to there before it closed to activated it, for another the first time I made it down there to do anything it took for ever just to get them to pull up my account. The second time I made it down there it was to close the account I had had for two years, with a bank card I never managed to activate (which I got a month after the account).
So I switched to a bank, a rather large one, at that. That has better hours and is much easier to get things done with. Credit unions don't always meet a persons needs.
I use a credit union, and I'm pretty happy with them, but at the same time I'm jealous of the Chase and USbank customers who have a branch and an ATM freakin' everywhere!
Actually, isn't this fee for non-customers, i.e. people who don't have a Chase account but are trying to use a Chase ATM? You usually don't have a choice of ATMs, except to try to put yourself in a position of not needing one.
This is why I carry emergency cash. Also why I do choose to bank at a HUGE national bank, even though DH hates it. I like having ATMs everywhere! Also, buying a pack of gum with your debit card and getting cash back at the grocery store is another good option.
I do agree that these fees are crazy outrageous, though. Which is the other reason (besides, obviously, not wasting my money) why I won't use ATMs not belonging to my bank. If people wouldn't use them, they wouldn't get their stupid fees, and they'd drop them.
This is pretty much why I have stayed with my bank rather than a credit union. In my area there are tons of credit unions but they don't seem terribly user friendly as far as hours, ATM's, etc. The bank I use is a fairly large regional bank so it makes it nice when traveling. That said I am thinking of opening up a small savings at my local credit union since the idea is to save the money but as far as my primary account, probably will stay with the bank.
Just so you know, the majority of credit unions have all agreed to NOT charge fees to each other for using their ATMs. I rarely see one of *my* credit union's ATMs but can generally find *some* credit union's ATM.
This is so true. I can use just about any other credit union's ATMs for free. I love my credit union - great locations, hours, interest rates, and fantastic customer service.
With so many choices for banking, I don't think they will get away with the $5 ATM fees for long. Why would anyone stick with banks that charged fees like that.
That's the genius of it - they are charging people who aren't their customers, so why should their customers care? It's just another way of exploiting people who haven't planned ahead or have some sort of unforseen need for cash.
Or it could be they need to be able to pay for upkeep of the machines, and their customers are all ready "paying" so to speak by letting the back hold onto and use their money.
I work for a bank. All of our ATMs have very up-to-date technology inside of them. We also have to have network support for them and a team of employees who can fix them. For those not attached to branches, we must pay a third party to retrieve deposits and add new funds to the ATMs. We have to pay for that.
Does your bank have a customer service line? They have to pay for the automated system, the telephone lines, the calls, the employees paychecks, the light bill, the rent on the building the employees are in, for the hold music, for the language line interpretation services. We have to pay for every computer being used and for tech guys to keep them running.
Your bank has branches... We have to pay for lights, water, employees in all of those branches.
Does your bank have online banking or bill pay? We have to pay to maintain that website and provide those services.
It is expensive to run a bank, especially a bank that offers 24/7 customer service, lots of branches, online banking, free bill pay, lots of ATMs, etc. The more conveniences your bank offers you, the more it is spending on you.
You don't bank with us. You bank with one of our competitors. We're not earning any money off of you. But you want us to give you some of our money, from our ATM, that we put up there for our clients, who we do make money off of. Even though we're not your bank, we're going to provide you access to your account through our customers' machines and services.
And we just can't afford to only charge a buck or two anymore now that people can opt out of overdraft services for ATM & everyday debit card transactions. We can't give you all of these conveniences for free or for cheap anymore, and we worry more about saving our clients money than our nonclients.
Don't get me wrong... I know overdraft fees suck, and the banking industry needs a makeover. But that's why the fees have gone up. My bank hasn't changed it's fee, but has recently instituted minimum activity requirements to avoid a small monthly maintenance fee. No one likes it...but we have to stay solvent and still provide convenient services to clients.
I pretty much just use my local bank ATM to deposit and withdraw money. I don't use any bank or credit card company that charges me fees just to use them.

When I was first married, we didn't have a working oven or grill, so I had to use the stovetop for everything. After a few months of the same thing, I needed some new ideas and developed this simple chicken stir-fry. I make half of it when we're home alone and can easily double it for company. –April Walcher, Hutchinson, Kansas

This month our June Gallery filled up quickly with some amazing layouts!
'Love this View' from ptabbert really stood out. She said: 'I was practicing with the Softy Cool overlay technique and thought it made this photo of the Minneapolis skyline look like one of the old postcards I've seen. So I added some touches from the Today's Photos, Yesterday's Postcards tutorial and created a postcard with it.'
The photo really does look like an old postcard and blends so seamlessly with the colors of the kit. I love the banner with the title and thought the little heart and the leaf sprig balanced everything so perfectly. The touch of turquoise behind it add just the right touch. So nicely done, ptabbert!

The NI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit helps you easily interface with the Arduino microcontroller using LabVIEW. With this toolkit and LabVIEW, you can control or acquire data from the Arduino microcontroller. Once the information is in LabVIEW, analyze it using the hundreds of built-in LabVIEW libraries, develop algorithms to control the Arduino hardware, and present your findings on a polished UI. A sketch for the Arduino microcontroller acts as an I/O engine that interfaces with LabVIEW VIs through a serial connection. This helps you quickly move information from Arduino pins to LabVIEW without adjusting the communication, synchronization, or even a single line of C code. Using the common Open, Read/Write, Close convention in LabVIEW, you can access the digital, analog, pulse-width-modulated, I2C, and SPI signals of the Arduino microcontroller. To learn how the under-the-hood functionality works so you can modify or extend it, look inside the subVIs or open the Arduino sketch. Note: The Arduino microcontroller must be connected to the computer with LabVIEW through a USB, serial, Bluetooth, or XBee link. This toolkit does not provide for headless operation. Support Information Support for this toolkit is provided by the Community forums and FAQs found at ni.com/arduino.

Blake Lively on Her Challenging Bombshell Role in "Graphic" Savages
We can't wait to see Blake Lively (Serena) break out her inner bad-girl in Oliver Stone's upcoming Savages! Blake plays Ophelia ("O"), a California bombshell who's kidnapped in a drug deal, but then things get dark — and her character is raped by Benicio del Toro's character, Lado.
Blake describes the flick as "terrifying," saying, "it's so graphic, it's so violent — and [my character] experiences such an arc. It's challenging as an actor and it's also challenging as a person, you know?"
Although Savages caters to a much older audience than The CW does, Blake feels a responsibility to her younger fans. "I've got a family, I've got nieces and nephews, and a young audience from [Gossip Girl] — that plays in too, she says. "And you have a responsibility to your personal life, too."
Then again, Blake thinks Ophelia is a relatable character to people from all walks of life — including The Upper East Side! "The most important thing all along was telling the truth, and telling the heart of the story," Blake says. "I think [my character] is very much a modern young girl. She comes from new money, living in Laguna Beach, her mom is off with her 8 different husbands…and I think it really told a lot more of how a girl could end up this way."
OMG, did someone just say Laguna Beach? We've missed you, Stephen.

When you see the murders piling up in other cities like Chicago, where through September 16 they have had 382 murders,
By JAMES W. WADE III
Staff Reporter
Gun violence is continuing to be a big problem aroundCleveland.
Tuesday, at 9:54 a.m., the police received a call for shots fired at 17801Euclid at the Mini Mart. When the Fifth District Police Officers arrived they located a male with gunshot wounds to the abdomen, arm and leg.
The male was rushed by EMS toMetroHealthMedicalCenter, where he is being treated for his injuries. The preliminary investigation reveals that the male with the gunshot wounds and the store clerk were involved in an argument inside the store.
The clerk was behind the bullet proof glass during the argument. As the argument escalated the male kicked in the door to the secured area and entered that area. At this time the clerk obtained a handgun and shot the male multiple times. The male that entered the area did not have a weapon at the time of the shooting.
The store clerk was arrested for Felonious Assault and Weapons Under Disability and the male suspect with gunshot wounds is being made a named suspect in a Burglary/ Robbery report.
On Monday, three people were shot at1142 East 66th Street, betweenBliss Avenue andSt. Clair Avenue inCleveland around noon. Police said it is alleged through their investigation that a verbal argument sparked the gunfire. It's not clear exactly what happened, but the police detained four youth for the shootings.
Today's youth are having turf and gang wars over nothing really important, these days. The discussion among many of the community activists revolve around when all these shootings will stop.
While no information is being released about what actually took place, and police are still investigating, this incident adds to the rise of violent crime inCleveland. "My son showed up after the shooting happened," said Vanessa Cayson, mother of one of the suspects.
The incident took place about 500 feet fromHyacinthParkand had between 10 to 12 detectives on the scene. Many of neighbors said this area has become an area of gang activity and violence, lately.
Four people were arrested in connection to the shooting and charged with felonious assault. The three that were wounded were rushed to hospitals where the extent of their injuries remains unknown.
A vigil was held Monday night for 18 year old Josh Huggins who was murdered on Kinsman early Saturday morning. Huggins, who had just realized he wanted to do something positive with his life, was due to start thePromiseAcademy this past Monday.
"Him and my son was great friends, I took him in and wanted to make a difference in his life," said his foster care mother, Debra. The police investigation reveals that the victim was involved in an argument with two males. During the argument, one of the suspects produced a handgun and shot the victim in the chest. After the shooting, the suspects fled the scene.
Huggins was the 66th homicide inCleveland in 2012. "Why did these young men feel they have to kill someone to be cool?" asked James Greene, who attended the vigil. The conversation among many of the older individuals was centered on that statement.
"Guns are dangerous, and these young dudes have no problem in smoking a life for self gratification," said Peace in the Hood leader Khalid Samad. He and activist, Art McCoy, orchestrated Monday night's vigil, with the help of Huggins' friends in the community. McCoy felt compelled to take up a collection to help with the funeral expenses.
When you see the murders piling up in other cities like Chicago, where through September 16 they have had 382 murders, it becomes clear something has to be done nation wide. When you find so many youth dying in their early twenties, it's sad to see so many will never enjoy a nice life, get to retire or see their grandkids grow up.

Good Morning!
Todays post is on the shorter side. Originally I had planned to share with you my visit to a traditional Chinese herbal medicine doctor, however, while I was uploading photos something went awry and I lost the majority of what I had typed up. Now that I'm running short on time we'll just talk breakfast.
No oats this morning. I kept breakfast on the simple side with a sliced banana over plain yogurt with a drizzle of roasted almond butter.
Along with a cup of juice.
Todays mix was just spinach, pineapple, and ginger. Easy peasy, but very delicious.
Mint would have been a nice addition.
I love how pineapple and spinach get so foamy. The layers and foam always remind me of a latte, but a juice version.
Next post I'll talk more about my Chinese Medicine visit!
Hope your day is great!
What did you eat for breakfast this morning?

Stephen Carter – Hotelier of the Year
Meet De Vere's very own Mr Hospitality! We are extremely proud that Stephen Carter, Chairman of De Vere Cameron House Hotel on Loch Lomond, was named the UK Hotelier of the Year in November, sponsored by the Casna Group.
Stephen was previously awarded the Manager of the Year Catey in 2005, an OBE in 2007 for services in the hospitality industry, and the Fellowship for Outstanding Industry Contribution at the 2011 Scottish Hotel Awards.
Of his win, Stephen says: "I was elated. It's quite a coveted award in the industry, and it's great recognition for what the team have done at Cameron House and for what De Vere want to achieve going forward."
Originally from Halifax, Stephen studied Hotel Administration at the University of Surrey before starting in the industry as a Trainee Manager with Thistle at the Golden Lion hotel in Stirling.
His 40-year career has included time at the Holiday Inn, Stakis Hotels, Glasgow's Moat House International and Edinburgh's Caledonian Hotel, as well as the Cliveden in Bucks and the development and opening of the five star St Andrews Bay Golf Resort and Spa.
He arrived at Cameron House in 2008, when the hotel was in the midst of a £50m refurbishment.
Stephen is renowned for team building and the empowerment and development of his people.
He has mentored several industry leaders including our very own new VILLAGE CEO Robert Cook, formerly of Malmaison and Hotel du Vin.
He is also currently Chairman of the Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland, a Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and Director of VisitScotland.
So, what's next for the Hotelier of the Year? "I enjoy the job I do very much, and I hope to continue doing it. As they say, if you enjoy your job you never have to do a day's work in your life," he says.
"One of the most important elements of the job is making people feel relaxed and secure."
Stephen says Hebrews chapter 13, verse two sums up his philosophy on offering great British hospitality perfectly: "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing, some people have entertained angels without knowing it."

This is part of my patio. Notice the flower tape? That is covering a row of steel wire, because apparently it is bad to just wrap steel wire to block the way somewhere and not warn people somehow.
On Monday, I flipped out because some dude had the nerve to walk over my patio again, trampling down my flower bed. ENOUGH, I thought as I mentally flipped a bunch of tables over. So now there is a fence made of steel wire blocking the way, from the ground and up to the flower tape row. I am not allowed to put up a real fence because it ruins the view, apparently, but no one has said anything about steel wire and flower tape. We even put some flowers in front of it to make it look like a hedge. Totally inconspicuous. Totally passing as a flower arrangement or something. Lara thought it looked pretty fancy, at least before it rained on it.
Good luck cutting across my patio now, dickchariots. Or actually, no. Choke on that luck and stay the hell away from my patio forever.
Apparently, few things angers me as much as people trespassing on my territory. My patio. MINE.

Let's face it, we're all plugged in 24/7, this is a place where you can lighten up and/or market your business all on the same site. **Pinterest is not only gaining a ton of users, but those users are spending an average of 89 minutes on the site ** Facebook is still leading by 405 minutes along with Tumblr also 89 minutes but it's obvious Pinterest is moving up quickly. **It's important to know how to use Pinterest to showcase what you do in a subtle but engaging way Feel free to visit my topic "Pinterest Watch" a collection of articles from branding, case studies, metrics all in one place.

Grow More Food & Fight Climate Change: Black Revolution
"Biochar is an excellent way of getting a lot of carbon out of the atmosphere."-- Sir Richard Branson
ReChar started a Kickstarter project funding:
Black Revolution is a soilless growth media for plants containing biochar, coconut husk and compost. Biochar is a charcoal soil amendment made from waste that improves nutrient retention, offsets CO2 and has the potential to help feed our growing planet. Black Revolution is the world's first carbon-negative replacement for soil made entirely from waste. It's lighter than traditional soil, so it works great in rooftop or urban environments. The potting soil and chemical fertilizer industries are traditionally some of the most environmentally destructive in the world.
Chemical fertilizers require massive amounts of fossil fuels and pollute our rivers and streams. Potting soils contain peat moss and vermiculite: non-renewable resources mined from endangered areas around the world.

The potting soil and chemical fertilizer industries are traditionally some of the most environmentally destructive in the world.
Chemical fertilizers require massive amounts of fossil fuels and pollute our rivers and streams. Potting soils contain peat moss and vermiculite: non-renewable resources mined from endangered areas around the world.
With your help, we can get Black Revolution into gardens, raised beds, urban farms and houseplants across the country. Not only will you get to grow more food but you'll also be helping us reduce atmospheric carbon!
"If you could continually turn a lot of organic matter into biochar, you could, over time, reverse the history of the last two-hundred years."-- Bill McKibbenBiochar is charcoal produced at high temperatures (400 C or greater) from waste products (wood waste, crop waste etc). It was developed by ancient farmers in the Amazon Basin nearly 3,000 years ago. These farmers successfully fed cities of millions of people by growing food on marginal croplands upgraded with biochar.
"Biochar, produced in pyrolysis of residues from crops, forestry, and animal wastes, can be used to restore soil fertility while storing carbon for centuries to millennia."-- Dr. James Hansen (NASA climate scientist).
"There is one way we could save ourselves and that is through the massive burial of charcoal."-- Dr. James Lovelock (Climate scientist and originator of the Gaia theory)
"Biochar is an excellent way of getting a lot of carbon out of the atmosphere."-- Sir Richard Branson
Biochar grabs onto nutrients and water in soil that would normally just wash away and holds them right where plants need them. It improves soils ability to grow food up to 200%. Unfortunately, raw biochar is a bit hard for most novice gardeners to use without training. That's why we've created Black Revolution, the world's first carbon-negative replacement for soil. The biochar is already prepared and blended into the product, creating the optimal growing media for your plants.
Biochar is also one of the most exciting tools we have to fight global climate change. Biochar is made from waste products (wood chips, corn husks, stalks etc) that are normally burned or left to rot in the field. Traditionally, these waste products will decompose and release carbon into the atmosphere (CO2 or methane) which contributes to climate change. However, if we convert these wastes into biochar, they can't decompose back into CO2, since microorganisms are not very efficient at breaking down charcoal. On a global scale, biochar has massive potential to roll back the effects of climate change. A 2010 study in the scientific journal Nature shows a potential to offset 12% of global CO2 emissions via biochar!
Black Revolution outperforms traditional potting soil in nutrient retention, water retention and yield. The mix of biochar, coconut waste and compost acts like a magnet for nutrients and water, keeping them right where plants need them. It is also pH-balanced for optimal growth, and improves cation exchange capacity (a complex soil science term-- it means it makes it easier for plants to take up nutrients).CARBON NEGATIVE
Each bag of Black Revolution contains enough carbon-negative biochar to offset significant CO2 emissions. Our smallest bags are equivalent to rolling back the emissions from 5-6 miles of driving a US automobile. For our larger bags, the offset is approximately 61 miles. While these numbers are only a small part of our annual emissions, every little bit helps. A revolution starts with a first step.HELP US LEARN
Now, we want to find out how well biochar can work in domestic gardening and small-scale farming. We seek growers of all sizes (potted plants up to small farmers) and all skill levels to test out Black Revolution on their crops and report back to us. By backing our campaign, you will become part of the biggest trial in the US to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar for domestic farmers and gardeners. We will ask backers to measure the height and yield of their plants at multiple points for publication into a comprehensive study. We will also determine how much carbon we have all offset through the use of Black Revolution. All backers will receive results of the study upon completion and name recognition in the full-length draft of the study.Depending on your desired level of participation and pledge, you will receive a corresponding supply of Black Revolution (see rewards for details) along with planting instructions and support during the study. You will receive your bag in time for the fall season of planting. A limited number of rush bags are available for spring and summer planting. We expect to publish the results of our study by January 1st 2013.
We can build distributed biochar production facilities inside 20' shipping containers. This means we can send production equipment directly where the demand exists. If we can raise $5,000 on Kickstarter, we can produce a run of Black Revolution for a far-reaching and impactful test here in the United States. However, if we can raise $22,000 or more, we can actually build a new production container right in the thick of demand, and kickstart production of the product. This means truly local production and reduced transportation. Your support will determine how we scale!WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?
The first agricultural revolution, dubbed the 'neolithic revolution,' was the domestication of food crops around 10,000 BC. The second agricultural revolution was the 'green revolution' in the 1930s and 40s which led to the development of chemical fertilizers produced from fossil fuels. Biochar is the next great tool in the world's agricultural toolkit, and will help shape a revolutionary future of abundance, fertility and climate-stability. And it turns your soil black :) JOIN THE BLACK REVOLUTION TODAY!- Item Tag: Africa, Black Revolution, Coconut, Compost, Husk, Kenya, Kickstarter, Project, ReChar, Soil Amendment

Great post! You see, I'm currently woirkng on a blog post and, depending on where my writing takes me, I might just put a citation for this post in it. I hope you won't mind if I do. Anyway, people all over are making their own takes on what makes for a great muscle building program/routine. The way I see it is that all the things that they are saying nay, preaching can be rolled up into one thing and that is having the self-discipline to follow-through with whatever it is that you are doing. Personally, I strongly believe that following through is the singular most important ingredient in attaining success, not only in bodybuilding/building muscles but in life in general. Once again, wonderful post. Keep it up! I hope you won't mind if I look around your blog a bit more.
hey there and thank you for your info – I have certainly piekcd up anything new from right here. I did however expertise some technical issues using this site, since I experienced to reload the site lots of times previous to I could get it to load correctly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I'm complaining, but sluggish loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords. Well I'm adding this RSS to my e-mail and could look out for a lot more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again soon..
One more thing. I believe that there are lots of traevl insurance internet sites of trustworthy companies that allow you to enter your holiday details and acquire you the quotations. You can also purchase this international traevl cover policy on the net by using your current credit card. All you have to do is usually to enter your own traevl specifics and you can begin to see the plans side-by-side. Simply find the program that suits your budget and needs and use your bank credit card to buy it. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to begin looking for a reputable company for international holiday insurance. Thanks for giving your ideas.
I needed to cratee you this very little word just to give many thanks again for those pretty basics you have shared above. It's simply unbelievably generous of people like you to allow without restraint all that a few people might have offered as an e-book to end up making some profit on their own, most notably considering that you could have tried it if you ever considered necessary. The suggestions also acted as a good way to be aware that the rest have similar keenness much like my personal own to see lots more around this issue. I am certain there are several more pleasurable instances up front for folks who read carefully your blog post.
I have realized that over the coruse of building a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you'll be able to come to understand that, in most real estate purchase, a payment is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers tend not to save the commission rate. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by doing a great agent's job. In completing this task, they commit their money and time to conduct, as best they could, the obligations of an real estate agent. Those responsibilities include uncovering the home by means of marketing, representing the home to prospective buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, taking on qualification assessments with the loan company, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing of the deal.
Hi, I am C.J. Mella and I was looking for green prtcodus info and I found your group. As an expert, I want to know if you recommended this product that a friend sends me wwwideasforbetterebookscom/green-prtcodus/ for someone like me who like it. Thank you!
I have to show some appreciation to you for riusceng me from this particular crisis. Because of surfing around throughout the the net and getting suggestions which were not pleasant, I was thinking my life was done. Existing without the approaches to the problems you've solved all through your entire guideline is a serious case, and the ones which might have adversely affected my entire career if I hadn't encountered your blog post. Your own talents and kindness in dealing with all the things was tremendous. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a thing like this. I am able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thank you so much for the skilled and effective guide. I will not think twice to suggest your blog post to anyone who should get assistance about this situation.
This is getting a bit more sicuebtjve, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies is headed for rehab in Clearwater. However, in Atlanta and Washington, the so-called punch-challenged locals have looked quite different. Was this to be anticipated, if not expected?
Penthouse Occupancy for the 5-4 final: 3
The Crystal Champagne Toast is a salute to Chooch Ruiz.
He was applauded at the Animal House after his straightaway centerfield poke near the 401' sign in the 5th during his 2 for 4 night. In the 7th he was robbed of a game-winning RBI twice by the 3B blue. He was joined on the top floor by Hunter Pence and Jimmy Rollins. Hunter rocketed a 2-RBI blast in the 4th, and Rollins accumulated 2 fielding gems.
The House Of Blues featured 2 umpires in a 3-man crew. The one at third blew 3 calls and wasn't in position for another, while the other behind the dish had a short fuse and a tight strike zone.
The Outhouse was filled by HP ump Rob Drake for immediately ejecting Cholley Manuel, who wanted a 2nd opinion on an unchecked swing in the 1st. Cholley asked for another impression, complained from the dugout, and he was abruptly tossed.
The Big House Key locked in 3B umpire Andy Fletcher for missing 2 plays that would have plated a 4th tally. A 4-3 regulation triumph became a 5-4 defeat in the 11th, when Michael Schwimer ran out of gas after 58 bullets over 2.2 frames. Fletcher ruled a double over the hot-corner sack foul, when it caught 6" of the pillow in the 7th. He rang up Shane Victorino for a caught stealing before the inning ended, but the tag was applied on his back foot, which was followed by a single that would have knocked in Vic from 2nd.
The Glass House in the 6th welcomed Joe Savery, who coughed up a walk and a two-bagger with only 1 out against 3 left bats. That is not a way to stick with the parent club.
The Leather Warehouse showcased J-Roll's glove. Freddy Galvis and Vic had their defensive skills lauded as well. Jimmy saved the bullpen with a 1st-class stop before catching a wayward runner at 3rd to finish the 6th. After the 8th-frame infield came in, J-Roll nipped the runner at home with a laser throw during a one-out, bases-juiced 3-3 tie. Vic converted a running, leaping, crashing-the-fence catch for the final out in the 9th. Galvis turned a slick fielding-and-tag play to stop a thief at 2nd in the 10th.
House Cleaning appeared in the 7th with a 1-2-3 frame from Antonio Bastardo, holding a 1-run lead.
I will publish after every battle that is not washed out. The Phillies finished last summer 42 games over .500, which equaled a year of many positives. I will have many season-long highlights of puzzle pieces, especially important after drubbings and defeats.
If you were directed here by a feed and this review does not mention yesterday's contest, please go to my author archives or Phillies page for my most recent coverage. (Early morning readers may arrive before the latest post.) Scroll down to Tal's Handy Links at the bottom. Thank you.
The Height Of The Wall:
I had planned on writing about this concept before these 6 battles began. Unfortunately, I was engaged in mind-to-circuitry combat, which took on a life of its own. My thinking is that the red pinstripes are playing up or down to the level of their competition. I felt that they would either go 3-3 or 4-2 against these two rivals.
The Phils were clearly victorious in 2 contests, and the 2 losing efforts were extra innings. Doc Halladay with a 6-0 advantage was as close to a sure thing in the realm of the possible. Last night it was after the bad omen of 2 blown run-costing calls that I first had that uneasy feeling. That is when you first realize that the outcome is not going to be favorable. I experienced it again when Schwimer took the mound. Because he doesn't pitch frames, he escapes them. Then, he was gassed with no relieve in sight, and you could only hope he had a couple bullets left.
The hometown 9 could easily have won all 4 games. You can expect more of the same, because they are making a statement to the Nats and Braves. The message is that they are a fierce foe even without Cliff Lee, Ryan Howard and Utley. My concern is their upcoming schedule of the Mets (3), the Pads (3), the 'Stros (2) and 2 in Chicago. Hopefully, they are re-energized and ready to provide a spell of place-climbing excellence.
Vance Worley:
He has passed the point of being an unknown in the league, and continues to dazzle the other teams. This could turn out to be a duel with these 2 potent hurlers.
2 | RHP Vance Worley | 3-2, 3.38 ERA | @ O's | RHP Tommy Hunter | 2-3, 5.59 ERA | Saturday, Late Day |
3 | LHP Cliff Lee | 0-3, 2.92 ERA | @ O's | RHP Jason Hammel | 6-2, 2.97 ERA | Sunday, Night |
1 | RHP Kyle Kendrick | 2-5, 4.44 ERA | @ Twins | RHP Nick Blackburn | 2-4, 7.75 ERA | Monday, Night |
Gio Gonzalez:
He has been outstanding, so far, but he hasn't been exposed to the NL, which will be around the end of June or July. He will have the advantage as a new-league arm after 2 MLB campaigns, which has already produced a scoreless streak of 20 innings with 6 scattered hits.

The program acronym is for Methodical Algorithmic Computerization or Mac. That is the feed system that has dogged me the entire month, but it allows me now to probe for a compatible solution. This only involves readers who were directed here from Fox Sports. The 2 links–Radar updated to May 2– in this section were recently passed over by a computer's judgment. Does the national-and-all-major-sports machine understand Phillies commentary better than local fans? I discovered that the buttons and lights objected the most to the storyline when I submitted only that part. So, when the electrodes decide a Nitecap Insight isn't to their liking, I'll give my transferred readers a viewing opportunity the next day. I'll keep score of acceptable to rejected submissions, because I don't want a large readership excluded or my time wasted.
Philadelphia Phillies storyline: under the radar

There are previews–time permitting–of my next storyline at Tal's Handy Caps on Facebook. Join for notification of future glimpses, which will be almost daily. You'll also know immediately when my isportsweb post goes up. It might be worth your while because I have seen delays of 2 hours on feeds.
Check out my previous publication (Ruth Or Mays) and the 42 storylines–so far–for 2012 on the Phillies page or my author archives, where there is an excerpt photo. The Apocalyptic Horsemen Stats are in my recent review.
Tal's Handy Stats is daily coverage. I am alternating the 2012 ERA For The NL East and the 2012 ERA For The MLB 5. Thank you, to all who bookmarked the Phillies page, because feeds are erratic at times.

Title |
The effects of Excimer Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis on Intraocular Pressure Measurements by Goldmann Tonometry |
Authors |
Jennifer Ng, O.D., Harue Marsden, O.D., Chang Kim, O.D. |
Purpose |
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of laser assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on Goldmann applanation tonometry readings in human eyes. |
Methods |
The charts of 158 patients, who had bilateral LASIK performed by the same surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative and one month postoperative intraocular pressure, ablation depth and pachometry readings were collected. Data from one eye was analyzed using paired t-test and regression analysis. |
Results |
There was a statistically significant decrease in mean Goldmann tonometry readings of 4.2 mm Hg + 3.6 (SD) one month following LASIK. Preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was the strongest predictor for change in intraocular pressure after LASIK. (P = 0.00) Regression analysis also reveals that there was a correlation between change in IOP and pachometry. (P = 0.01) Little or no correlation was found with ablation depth or postoperative IOP |
Conclusion |
Refractive surgery alters the accuracy of the Goldmann tonometer, causing it to underestimate IOP. There is an average decrease of 4.2 mm Hg + 3.6 (SD) in intraocular pressure following LASIK surgery |

Quoted from ""3PM""
I scanned and sent to Hooligan the other day so I found it a bit odd :wink:
Quoted from ""DJ Hooligan""
by the way:
1. Is BTH Australian vinyl exist? Or they just copied text from german Maxi-CD?
2. TUAO Austarlian must be released 2 or 4 June. Does some body bought it?
Quoted from ""Britt""
The text about the vinyl is a bit different, so maybe it exist an Australian vinyl.

Witchery White Shirt, leather skirt and ring
I'm very honoured to let you know that I am part of this year's Witchery OCRF White Shirt Campaign, in which Witchery produces a range of specially made white shirts and donates 100% of the gross proceeds to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
Being able to share this with you and help to raise awareness and donations to this cause is overwhelming and am truly thankful to the Witchery team for inviting me to take part. Ovarian Cancer currently has no early detection test, and due to the delayed diagnosis it means that the odds aren't in our favour to be able to battle and overcome the disease, and this needs to change.
Buy a white shirt today online or in store and know that 100% of the gross proceeds will go to the OCRF foundation into the research to find an early detection test. You all NEED to own a white shirt anyway and this ones comes absolutely guilt free.
You can also donate directly here.

A bit of a mood board for my outfit selections next week.
I'm trying to plan my winter wardrobe and I know i've mentioned Equipment shirts a month or so ago, but now the obsession is really flying high. I recently purchased a pair of Zara leather pants and I think a silk Equipment shirt would go perfectly!!
Above are a few images from their latest campaign.Now let your obsession begin!

More than 100 youth and adult advisors met at Trout Lake Retreats in Stroudsburg for the annual Lutheran Youth Fellowship Assembly November 17-19.
There were a few "firsts" for this assembly.
It was the first time that the assembly met at a camp instead of a hotel. Because of rising costs, the LYF board decided to look for a less expensive venue. Meeting at Trout Lake Retreats cut the cost of attending the assembly almost in half. On the evaluation forms for the retreat, the reactions to being at the camp were overwhelmingly positive. Aside from the lower (and more manageable cost), other pluses were having the opportunity to be outdoors to play volleyball and to worship and sing around a bonfire.
Another "first" was the introduction of topic sessions. During the registration process, youth were able to identify things they would most like to discuss. The LYF board then selected the top seven topics that would be used for discussion at the assembly. They also recruited members of the board to prepare for and lead these discussions. Youth were free to discuss these topics without the presence of adults. Topics included "Violence in Schools," "Media and Society," "What is Music Telling Us," "Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll," "War – What Is It Good For," "Are You Calling Me, God," and "World Religions."
The assembly began with the sounds of Aimée and Joel Pakan of "Tangled Blue." Pastor Michele Kaufman, assembly chaplain, led the assembly through several devotional and worship experiences based on the theme, "Live Your Faith: Your LYF as a Disciple." As part of a get-acquainted activity, youth gathered in small groups to discuss their gifts of time, talent and treasure. They prepared symbols for each of these which were then placed on a banner which was displayed at the assembly. Pastor Nancy Moore helped the youth explore this topic even further on Saturday morning in a discussion on spiritual gifts.
Youth and advisors attended workshops on Saturday. Workshop topics ranged from learning about Dietrich Bonhoeffer to using yoga as a form of prayer, from learning about games to use with youth groups to understanding why we're Lutheran, from focusing on the relationship between religion and media and learning about fair trade opportunities and from hearing about how past LYF-ers are living in the "real world" to hearing about a mission trip to Guatemala.
LYF President Becky Montes de Oca (St. Paul, Tannersville) and parliamentarian James Hampton (Christ, Dryville) led the assembly through the discussion and passage of several resolutions. The assembly voted to request that the youth ministry team and LYF board look at the present attendance policy for the assembly; to work towards making our synod a ONE certified organization; to ask the Synod Council to approve the sale of Fair Trade products at all synodical gatherings; to have Fair Trade products available at all LYF assemblies; and to request that the four synod ministry teams include an LYF-appointed youth representative to be on each team.
Elected at the Assembly Elections of LYF officers and mission district representatives and alternates were also held during the assembly. These new officers were elected: Troy Marx (Jordan, Orefield) was elected LYF President; AJ Mell (Friedens, Oley) was elected Vice-President; Alex Nichols (Christ, Penn Forest) was re-elected LYF secretary; and Emily Moore (Christ, Penn Forest) was elected treasurer. James Hampton was appointed parliamentarian. AJ Rogers was appointed multicultural representative. The following youth were elected by their mission districts to serve as mission district representatives and alternate representatives:
Bethlehem-Easton Mission District: Liesl Metzger (St. Andrew, Easton) and Arielle Bazulka (St. Paul, Easton) East Berks Mission District: Amanda Sherry (Christ, Dryville) and Ben Schaeffer (Friedens, Oley) Hazelton-Lehighton Mission District: Nikkole Piparato (Christ, Penn Forest) and Talon Fogal (Christ, Penn Forest) Lehigh Mission District: Erin Antrim (St. John, Emmaus) and Aaron Matthias-Long (St. John, Emmaus) Northern Lehigh Mission District: Andrea Hetrick (Hope, Cherryville) and Corinne Schmidt (St. John, Nazareth) Pocono Mission District: Kiana Ramirez (Holy Trinity, Dingmans Ferry) and Ashley Stryker (Holy Trinity, Dingmans Ferry) Schuylkill Mission District: Meredith Coleman (Jerusalem, Schuylkill Haven) and Alicia Hepner (Jerusalem, Schuylkill Haven) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Mission District: Alex Howton (St. Paul, Mountain Top)
The term for mission district representatives begins immediately. The officers begin their term in June 2007 but will attend LYF meetings between now and then to assure a smooth transition in leadership.
Be sure to check out the photo gallery of the assembly!
