Wal-Mart Complaint - Mad As Hell - Wheel Chairs
Review by
Comments (12)
ALABAMA -- I have been going to Walmart since it came to Talladega years ago. My wife an I are old, in our 80's. When we shop at Walmart store in Talladega they don't have any good push a round wheel chairs. The basket is gone on one, the handle on one, the foot rest on another. They don't move easily. I have talked to the manager about this several times all they say we will see about it.
If ya'll want my business ya'll need to do some thing about this. Its only in Talladega store.
Thank you
Mr Carlson

These are a convenience for those who need them. You're dealing with WalMart here - selling at bargain basement prices. In the long run, it makes sense to provide them - but WM may not see it that way.
WalMart makes me "mad as hell" also, which is why I do not shop there.

sorry, while its a nice 'courtesy' no store is obligated to provide you with wheelchairs. Yall may need to bring your own.
Posted by tnchuck100 on 2011-02-07:
It has been my experience that Wal-Mart "managers" are little more than titled positions in their store. They have very little input as to what is in their store or how maintenance is done. The entire operation for all stores is controlled by a central computer system in some other state. Maintenance and equipment replacement is done by time line driven schedules.
It sounds like the wheel chairs at your store are subject to more destructive customers than other stores.

tnc -> "Maintenance and equipment replacement is done by time line driven schedules." This reminds me of a segment on the show where the CEO goes under cover, possibly for a quickie mart chain. He discovered the centralized maintenance system was very ineffective.

I wonder how far away we are from the government mandating that stores of a certain size provide wheelchairs, to go along with those handicap parking spaces and service dogs access.

Bring your own chair?

As much as I despise walmut, It's your responsibility to provide transportation. Their's ends at the handicapped parking place.

I have an incomplete spinal cord injury that makes walking difficult. I would go to big stores and use their electic scooters(if they even had them). After about 5 times of getting to the back of the store and having the stupid thing die, I decided to just buy my own. If it runs out of power at the back of the store, I can only grip to one person...me! :-)

If a business is going to provide these motorized chairs for their patrons, then they should be taking good care of them. Yes, it's their choice to do so - and they chose to do so...so why is it unreasonable for someone to expect them to be in good working order? It isn't. What would happen if someone was injured while operating a defective chair? Would Walmart be liable? I would think so.
This is one of those things that stores are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Carton & Case Corner Labeler
EPI designs case and carton labeling systems for most case erectors and cartoners in today's markets. Our models include corner labeling systems for side, front and top. Multi-panel labeling applicators can be integrated with a printer for batch, product, logo or bar code information printing to labels. As with all of EPI's systems these units customize to your equipment to ensure the most efficient operation of your packaging line.
Easy Corner Labeling
Our corner labeling systems have been designed to apply square or rounded labels to the leading or trailing edge of your carton. The label is applied to two sides of your package so that batch and product data can be seen on both sides of the carton. The trailing edge unit has a rigid mounting structure with gentle tamp application to minimize vibration. The leading edge corner labeling system utilizes a special applicator assembly (patent pending) to advance and apply the label to the front and side of your carton. Both systems can incorporate a wipe mechanism to ensure your label is securely adhered to the box.
EPI's carton and case labeling systems are designed with space requirements in mind and mounted as part of your cartoner line. The units can be configured to place the label on the carton where needed – whether the top, side or front. Our systems are designed as tamp or vac blow labeling system based on your application.
Multi-Panel Label Applicators Designed For Minimum Wear & Tear
All labelers are easy to set up and operate with a minimum of moving or wear parts and have been engineered to operate 24/7 with few maintenance requirements.
A programmable thermal transfer or ink jet printer can be added to the system to print barcode, date, or other production data.

Dish Network Complaint - Dishnetwork Advertisement is a HOAX
Review by
Comments (4)
Do not believe a word of what Dish Network promises on TV, fliers, door-to-door vendors or anywhere else. They are simply lying and setting up a trap for you. They promise 24.99/month for 1 yr, 5/- for DVR/- month...total of 29.99/month for top 120 channels. They make you sign up for automatic withdrawals to keep the rate from changing. Once you sign up and 2-3 months pass at the 33/- rate(with taxes), the horror starts. You find your credit card being charged 56.12 one month, 44.73 next month and if you call up and complain, they say the rates have gone up. Their explanations are senseless. They offer to remove DVR, HD, reduce the programming, etc..etc...and go down to a cheaper packet if you think the rate is high. If you want to break the contract, you pay a big penalty. So what was the contract for? To be bound for 2 yrs and to pay whatever they demand? Do they think they are being smart??? This is cheating the American public!!!!

Dish network has caveats in their customer agreement that are not unlike every other cable or sattelite service provider. You agree to these in advance and unfortunately they are never customer friendly.
"Changes in Services Offered. We may add, delete, rearrange and/or change any and all programming, programming packages and other Services that we offer, as well as the prices and fees related to such programming, programming packages and Services, at any time, including without limitation, during any term commitment period to which you have agreed. If a change affects you, we will notify you of such change and its effective date. In the event that we delete, rearrange or change any programming, programming packages or other Services, we have no obligation to replace or supplement such programming, programming packages or other Services. You are not entitled to any refund because of a deletion, rearrangement or change of any programming, programming packages or other Services.
Basically, they can change the programming and price of your package at will.

By the definition of a contract their "agreement" is void. It does not outline benefits for both parties. It only benefits them. The sad thing is our legal system allows it to exist and supports it. This goes to support the concept that justice goes to those with the ability to pay the most for it.
Posted by Anonymous on 2011-04-03:
Yes, in court, this type of one-sided contract is considered unconscionable and considered void. Anyone can sue them and probably win.

Possible Concussion for Clowe; Dorsett Not Cleared; Staal's Vision; Lundqvist's New Mask
Written by Kevin on .
Jim Cerny at nyrangers.com reports that neither Ryane Clowe (undisclosed) nor Brian Boyle (right leg) practiced with the team today.
Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record says that the Rangers lack of information on Clowe makes it more and more likely he's dealing with a concussion.
...man, Clowe's physical game is perfect for playoffs. A prolonged absence due to a concussion would be a huge blow to the Rangers playoff success.
...also wonder where Boyle fits in right now. I don't think it's a given that he'll get right back into the line-up once healthy.
Gross adds that Derek Dorsett underwent a CT scan on his broken clavicle but was not cleared for contact.
Here's Dorsett on his status (via Daily News)...
"You can't predict, but if everything keeps going the way it has, I hope to be ready sometime during this series."
...amazing to think that with Clowe's injury a guy who's never played a single game in a Rangers uniform could possibly be so integral to the Rangers success.
Meanwhile, Marc Staal, who practiced in full with the team today, told Gross that there's no new progress in adjusting to blurred vision but that doesn't rule him out playing in playoffs at some point.
...i'm sorry folks I don't see how Staal can play in this series with his vision still blurred. Especially when he's going to be on the ice with a guy like Ovechkin who's always looking to catch a guy with his head down or not on a swivel.
Here were the lines at practice (va Bergen Record)...
Steve Zipay at Newsday adds that Michael Haley was practicing with the fourth line.
...that third line, I'm sort of up in the air about. At first glance, I wasn't that excited about it, but the more I think about it, it could work. Nice mix of speed and creativity with Brassard & Kreider and then Pyatt to do the heavy lifting and boardwork.
Finally, Henrik Lundqvist tested out his new Swedish sports legends playoff mask that looked like this (via Rangers Instagram)...
i hate injury speculation. we will never know for sure because the only people who know are in the locker room. lets play with what we got cus we got no choice and they will come back in good time and theres nothing we can do about it. LETS GO RANGERS AND FUCK OVI AND CRAPS
i personally think clowe will be back for game 1 or 2 at the latest. i know concussions are risky, but nash made it back from his in a week and mcdonagh had some head pains after the MTL board hit. clowe's a tough guy, and it seems to me at least that he wants to play and will do so, even with a little bothersome pain.
The rangers were tight lipped on Nash as well. I would expect clowe back in this series and Dorset as well. Staal not so sure and to be honest I like our 6. Been playing well this year.
Got to think Staal's people are thinking about a long storied NHL career not being cut short by bringing him in too quickly this series. If he ain't ready he ain't ready. Too bad because the battles with Ovi and Marc are epic. We'll have to find other ways of shutting Ovi down between our depth players - though some might call me crazy, and this will never happen but I think Moore could be the man for the job. He's looked better each game.
Clowe looked to me like he was knocked into next Tuesday. Don't think there was a single person who watched that game who didn't believe he got concussed. As one who's had Post concussion syndrome (twice) I'm praying it's not too bad but it looked freakin awful from where I was sitting. Don't know his concussion history but from my own experiences (I've had 6 that I know about) if this is his first or 2nd he's likely to be back this series, if he's had any more than 3 he's probably through for the season and wish him a speedy recovery. Injuries are a part of this sport and Slats got us some depth so we're still good to go deep into this 2nd season. LGR
All I know is Torts cannot play Girardi & McD 30+ mins a game for the entire playoffs and expect them to hold up. He's got to be able to trust players like Stralman and Moore with more ice time...
Oh, and that mask - whatever makes you feel comfortable, Hank!
Lets ust hope that Staal is ready to play & he is saying otherwise so the caps think he is not. I think this team has what it takes to go all the way, however only if we get Staal back. The only team in the East that i can say is clearly better than us is a healthy Pitts burgh, & even thats only if Fleury plays like he did in 08 & 09. Not like the Fleury of the last few years. Even though I think we r as good as anyone I don't think we can win w-out Staal.
Worried about the injury situation - especially Clowe. I guess the good news is that the trades gave us the depth to handle this better. Dorsett could be a big help if he gets cleared but as an energy player I think he will need time to get into game shape - time he won't have in the playoffs. If Boyle comes back I think he plays 4th line and pk (what am I saying - he will replace Kreider on the 3ed and hurt us...). Crazy that the Rangers will depend on Kreider to perform in the playoffs again and that he is as much of a wild card as he was last year.
I'd like to see Clowe in there, like everyone else. However, it's not like he's been setting the world on fire, either. I'm comfortable with Newbury picking up the slack.
I wouldn't want Staal to play either if he isn't 100% playoffs or not. I don't want to risk further/permanent injury.
man. this series would be much less of a burden if we were healthy. please get well soon guys :(
Man, that clowe trade just looks horrendous if he doesnt play in the playoffs this year. 3 high end draft picks for a guy to play 12 games in the Rangers uniform. Also, don't think he is coming back next year, with all the salary cap issues the Rangers have in the next 2 years. That being said if he gets healthy he could be a huge addition to our third line!
@GeorgeGrigorian true but concussions vary as much as leaves on a tree. sadly. i hope he heals up well. and fast. his absence worries me.
Hey Worlds.....
I've had a total of eight concussions, so I know where you're coming from. Fortunately, tho...the worst concussion...only left me screwed up for about ten days..after that was right as rain.
Sadly, I've seen this type of thing before. The elbow that hit Clowe was not a bad one....and it didn't affect him right away. It was about a second or two later when he tried to skate that the affect came...and that is not good.
From seeing this happen to several people over the years, I would bet the house that Clowe has had multiple concussions in the past. And from guys who suffer badly from post concussion syndrome...when they return...sometimes the slightest hit...sometimes not even to the head will trigger the syndrome.
I do not think we will be seeing Clowe again this season. And if he does return, I don't think he'll make it through his first game back. This is a terrible loss for us.
Get Haley in the line-up asap.
@DPSnotty Hoping he gives Moore his well deserved extra ice time. NC on the mask :)
@ThrSage "Cybil" Fleury is the wildcard alright. Will "Five Hole" Fleury or "Stone Wall" Fleury show up???
@Scott_from_Jersey Staal said he was looking to make an appearance midway through this series... that could be a difference maker if he is healthy
@Josh6 2 of the draft picks werent even our own. and plus i believe one of them was san jose's to begin with. if u ask me, it was a steal. clowes a proven character. and were not in a rebuilding stage
@McPhee37 That doesn't sound good. I didn't like the feeling I got at the time of the hit, like that he was really fucked up, though at the time I was thinking 10-14 days due to concussion. I have had PCS twice now. The first was when I was like 29 or so I got nailed in practice sparring in the morning and didn't realize I had a concussion and then got hit again in an actual fight that afternoon (amateur kick boxing). It was at least a month of it - depression. headaches, light sensitivity and all, then my very next concussion - sometime in my mid 40s, at least 15 yrs. later I slammed my head in a fall and got a slight concussion but still went into mild PCS for about 2-3weeks and it wasn't pretty. Hope he gets better soon but if you are right McPhee no way he comes back, at least not in the next 2 series.
@cb1 Ok Debbie ;) - Yes a couple pieces still missing but I still like what I see. When there's a "King" there's a chance! LGR
@cb1 our current lineup has looked pretty good recently. I do hate losing Clowe, but that just means Kreider and Pyatt have to step up. With the way Zuccs and Richards have been playing they should have been top 6 forwards before Clowe got injured. I still think he will be back, if not by game 1... definitely by the first game at the garden.
@Josh6 @Scott_from_Jersey If the Rangers are up in the series by then he shouldn't even think about coming back, especially if he's not 100%. He's got the rest of his life to worry about, and eyesight isn't something to mess around with
@NYR44 @Josh6 Not so worried about Staal as I doubt we will see him this round. They need to put him on the ice with a blindfold and see if he can play by sonar or something. Then blurry vision will seem like a blessing... Seriously though, how can we expect him to play well if he is having vision problems. Hard enough to defend Ovi when healthy. If he comes back and plays well it will be a miracle.
Yo Worlds,
Sorry you've had a tough go of it with the concussions. Hopefully, you are ok now.
My worst concussion...lost my helmet on a hit behind the net, continued up ice...teammate from the bench yelled out the jersey number of the guy who drilled me....went after him and the puck by my bench....next thing I know...it was 5 hours later and I was doing some arm balance test for a specialist in the hospital....lol. It was freaky. I went from the ice to an ER in an instant...very unsettling.
Apparently, from what I was told, I went to check the guy and a teammate was coming from the other side to hit him also...i go to him a split second earlier..and my teammate's head(with helmet)...rammed into the side of my head.......I stood still for a second...hopped the bench....sat down...started mumbling...and drooling.....of course I remember none of this.
I hear ya with headaches. Had a migraine 24/7 for about 7 days....never really got out of bed the whole time. Scariest part for me...was the first few days...upon waking...the bed and room would spin. Doc said it was vertigo from the injury...thank goodness that stopped....
Played with a guy who had several concussions...his last and final one came on a light crosscheck...to his shoulder. It was a love tap....he skated a few feet...then just fell to all fours. He retired shortly thereafter.....
Just read an article about Clowe being hit face first into the boards last year...suffered facial fractures....he must have a had a concussion along with it......hmmm....
@DPSnotty @Josh6 @Scott_from_Jersey Especially for a guy who's been concussed badly in the pass. One bad blindside hit, he's done. I hope the Rangers DO NOT play Staal. I think Mc D can shut him down...

Holgs - started your second book. Had forgotten all about Zoe and 'Sunshine on a rainy day' - that was blast from the past - sitting in the Quad outside the Union bar in the first year of my undergrad! Happy Days!
Great song
Southern Snail wrote (see)
Holgs - Finished your book. Great read. Your description of the start of outlaw worried me though Guess as it's pretty up to date that we'll have to wait awhile for the third book
Glad you enjoyed it. It's not bad in comparison to a lot of races, you'll be fine. I honestly have no idea if I'll write a third book or not, but if I do it will be at least 2-3 years down the line - have to find a few more daft events to do to write about.
Not only zombies, Andy!
Had a great swim with NEWT last night, really feel it coming along now. Can't wait to get into the open water.
Tim - I need more zombie books for my boy, it is the only thing I can get him to read. Now he is at secondary suddenly reading isn't cool any more, but he will read zombie books!
any recommendations (he is only 12 so I don't want to buy him books full of sex though!) gladly received...
Woke at 3.50am today with a monstrous headache, knew I needed to get up and take some drugs, but couldn't bear moving my head. Eventually got some narcotics over my throat, but have been feeling ropey all day. Spent the morning with a heat pack on the back of my neck. Decided to go to the pool this afternoon as I always feel better for having been in the water, and had Fink #19 in my sights. However, I managed about halfway through the first set of drills and had to concede that I really was feeling crappy. So I spent half an hour just steadily doing lengths.Taking something positive from that, at least I went for a swim and didn't sit on my arse
For some unknown reason, my goggles started leaking. Ladies (and possibly gents!) - do you think moisturiser affects the seal?
Am thinking tomorrow's brick will be turbo & run - icy, icy roads.
In all honesty I think you need to just rest tomorrow, there is nothing lost at this stage in getting yourself better.
If you train and are genuinely ill you could lose more than just one missed training session.
Take care and take it easy.
Jesus it's cold out, isn't it?
3-hour bike yesterday and I managed to mangle my mouth, cos my face got so cold that everything went numb and my teeth couldn't work out the difference between "ham sandwich" and "cheek". Bit like Mrs Digger's dog, perhaps.... although at least I didn't bite anybody else and my teeth are blunter.
And it's even colder today! . Two pairs of gloves on and I still lost the feeling in my fingers. Given that it was mostly hill reps today, that made me a bit twitchy on the descents. Can't say I'm looking forward to my run.

Yes Boss
Nursey, what did you say to me about resting !
Mathschick - I always enjoyed Terry Brooks Shannara series of books, first one is called The Sword of Shannara. Easy reading. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sword-Of-Shannara-Number/dp/1857231511
Obviously Tim & Holgs books would be my first choice though
thanks SD and cake
what is Tim's real name (or pen-name?) so I can check out his book?
mathschick, it's Tim Lebbon. Lots of my stuff on Amazon. Coldbrook is a zombie book, although there is a bit of sauciness in there (NOT zombie sex, I hasten to add). Still, I was reading James Herbert when I was 10, never did me any harm (?). Has your son read World War Z? Excellent book.
Sorry for hijacking IM thread with zombies. Let's hope that's not what we all resemble at mile 20 of the run...
Thanks Tim
don't think he has had world war z yet, will have to check.
He can probably cope with a bit of sauciness, he is at the age where he is starting to learn things from friends, but doesn't really want to talk to us about it, apart from trying to bring inuendos into every conversation
now, just need to stop myself from curling up on the sofa with a book. Need to swim tonight, but swim session doesn't start till 8:15 so there will be a massive temptation to just go to sleep on the sofa and not bother!
cake - does this mean you know loads about Tim Lebbon and have read all his books?
Nursey, you should know better! Dont do it again.
Cake, that's me!
Oh and yes, Nursey if you have a good lathering of moisturiser on you wont get a seal on your goggles ... wait until afters !
thought it rang a bell - OH has the world war z book! Might suggest to son that he sneaks it off the bookshelf..
mathschick, it's an excellent book, quite scarily realistic.
Cake, happy training! Not likely to meet George, but I have done this.

Review: Connected by TCP wireless LED lighting kit
Lighting is kind of like the salt of home decor. You can design a fab living room with all the right pieces, but without the proper lighting, it can all end up rather bland–just imagine your carefully considered decor awash in the florescent lighting at the dentist's office. That's one reason why we are digging all the nifty smart LED lighting kits currently on the market that allow you to wirelessly control your lights, dim them to your heart's content, and virtually never have to change a bulb.
HomeTechTell Review: OSD Audio Sound Platform SP2.1 Table-Top Surround Sound System
If you don't have the option, or don't want the option, of installing a full-blown stereo system near your TV — an AV receiver, at least two speakers, all of the cabling that goes with them — this device is a very fine compromise.
Paradigm's Studio 100 and Studio CC-590: My New Reference Speaker System
I've reviewed a good number of speakers in my time here at HomeTechTell, and although the intent with any review is always to discuss and evaluate a speaker on its own terms, we tech writers invariably have a reference speaker system to which we compare everything else. And by "reference," I don't necessarily mean "the more »
HomeTechTell Review: Onkyo EnvisionCinema LS-T10 TV Speaker System
It's big enough to support a large flat-panel TV. It streams music from Bluetooth devices. It provides very good sound in a relatively inexpensive, one-piece package.

Gefen Audio/Video Automation (GAVA) System Review
The Gefen Audio/Video Automation system (GAVA for short) was quietly released earlier this year.

The company makes excellent baluns, signal converters, and what I call "problem-solvers" — small, non-descript boxes that have more »
Review: Dish Network Hopper with Sling
This has turned out to be one of the most difficult and time consuming reviews I've ever written.

The flat panel television market is incredibly mature at this point, but it exhibits a bit too much class inequality for my tastes.

The goal of the Project is to promote social recovery after Tajikistan's civil conflict and economic transition. The objective of the proposed Project is to re-activate delivery of essential social services, by rehabilitating existing infrastructure, providing essential supplies, strengthening the delivery of services and improving targeting and access to services by vulnerable groups at the local level. The Project focus on Leninabad and Khatlon oblasts for rehabilitation of social facilities, training to health, education and social protection workers, and funds for women and local governments. Additionally, the Project will bring nation-wide benefits through distribution of textbooks, medical equipment and supplies, public information campaigns, and management information systems for the Social Fund. By focusing on rural districts and promoting local work and self-help initiatives, the Project will contribute to reducing poverty. The Project will strengthen local governments and community participation in the new context of reconstruction and peace-building of the Republic of Tajikistan. The Project consists of two parts, Part A: Restoration of Essential Social Services; and Part B: Strengthening Local Governments and Community-Based Organizations. |
With 80 percent of the population below the poverty line, Tajikistan is among the twenty poorest nations of the world. The average monthly salary is $8, and as prices are liberalized, households spend 86 percent of their income on food subsistence. The five-year civil conflict (1992-97) left a legacy of 50,000 casualties, 600,000 displaced, 560,000 refugees, 55,000 orphans and 20,000 widows, over a population of 5.8 million. Destruction of physical infrastructure created a critical loss of shelter, hospitals, schools, water systems, and roads. The post-conflict period did not bring the expected prosperity; the country is increasingly suffering from shortages and epidemics such as typhoid and malaria which are spreading. Paradoxically, life expectancy is decreasing after the war is finished. This critical situation is aggravated by the collapse of a social safety net, which had previously cushioned poverty. Management and financing of social services has been devolved to local governments, which do not possess the capacity to operate them, denying access to basic health services, education and social protection to the majority of the population. In this environment of poverty and fragile social cohesion, the risk of political instability and return to an armed conflict is high. As reconstruction takes place within a limited window of opportunity and unsuccessful or delayed reconstruction risks a breakdown of peace and a return to open conflict, addressing basic social needs at the local levels, while establishing the foundations of sustainable social sector development, is a critical priority for the country. |

Got stung by a wasp in the pool.
Day 13 - last day in Alice Springs
... last 2 weeks. So that s it - off to Sydney tomorrow. Had most amazing time yet again. Highlight, for me, was camping out in swag bags under the millions of stars. Felt so "Aussie " !!!!! Plus seeing sun rise over Uluru ( Ayers Rock) . Listening to the stories about the aborigines and being in amongst their "Australia"- if that makes sense. Goodness-So many highlights. Night night ...
Flight to Cairns
Pancakes again for breakfast then I pack and check out and take the shuttle bus to the airport. When I check in I'm offered different flights via Ayres Rock which will get me into Cairns 4 hours earlier...do I take them. The airport is small but I get a sandwich and some new sunglasses to replace the ones I broke at full moon. The flight to Ularu was very quick and some great scenery of the rocks....which was a great added bonus! They just ...

A recently published study from the Department of Education casts new light on the State of the 27-Year-Old Today. The report, which in 2002 began following roughly 15,000 young men and women from their sophomore year in high school through their mid-20s, draws a picture of educated, debt-saddled young adults, more than half of whom are in some kind of committed relationship. It shows, incredibly, that around 10 percent of 27-year-olds feel they have already fulfilled their career goals. (Dear Lord - either these Americans have set scanty goals or that is a lot of leaning in.) But perhaps the most surprising factoid is this: There are more men and women at age 27 living with their parents than with roommates.
According to the study's authors:
Overall percentages for all 2002 sophomores as of 2012 were as follows: 19 percent were living alone, 42 percent were living with a spouse or partner, 10 percent were living with roommate(s), 23 percent were living with their parents, and 6 percent had some other arrangement.
So, granted, the plurality of 27-year-olds have shacked up with a romantic partner - and, the report says, this pattern holds across all levels of educational attainment. But among all participants except bachelor's degree holders, who were slightly more likely to be living alone than with mom and dad, the parental nest was a close second. And, again, everyone was more likely to live with their folks than with roommates. Pop quiz! Is this because:
1. Roommates are at best one of the world's great Russian roulette games, and at worst a plague upon humanity?
2. Millennials are victims of a coddling culture of self-esteem, broken-winged, suffocated by the poisonous comforts of suspended adolescence?
3. The Great Recession made it impossible for many 27-year-olds to afford rent?
I know which choice seems right to me. The study finds that almost 80 percent of 27-year-olds are in debt, whether from student loans, credit cards or mortgages; since 2009, 40 percent have been unemployed; more than 85 percent describe their finances as either "somewhat stressful" or "extremely stressful"; and in 2010, as the Atlantic's Jordan Weissmann pointed out, they were more likely to be earning less than $15,000 from work than they were to be earning more than $40,000: http://bit.ly/1d2xPUf
When I lived with my parents (lo those many years ago - two years), the arrangement was more than convenience - it was necessity. Getting a paying job helped. But I am already anticipating the "millennials are shiftless bums" spin on this data and preparing my personal, indignant defense: I have never received a participation trophy for a sport in my life, nor do I know many 26-year-olds who have. Though I am grateful that my parents were willing and able to let me live with them, my sojourn at home wasn't about my reluctance to leave the nest. It was about, on some level, having a place to sleep while I blundered through the job search. Or having a place to blunder while I slept through the job search. In any case, thanks, Mom and Dad.

Billboard industry touts discredited research to support safety claims for electronic signs
A Swedish study has found that drivers take long gazes at electronic billboards, possibly raising the risk of highway crashes. The new research has put the U.S. billboard industry into a defensive mode. In an effort to dismiss the findings, the industry's top trade group quickly cited an unpublished U.S. government study to argue that the electronic displays pose no traffic safety hazard.

Posted: November 05, 2010 at 01:49 AM (#3684293)two issues 1: he put up 3.1 WAR over 3 seasons(ages 34-36)- if he'd put up 10.0 over his age 33-37 seasons he would have cleared the HOM's magical 60.0 line 2: from 24-25 he put up 11.3, from 29-30 he put up 13.3- had he put up 12.0 over ages 26-27 (instead of 3.1) he would have sailed over the HOM's magical 60.0 line. Clear example of someone with HOF/HOM "talent" who couldn't quite get all the pieces to add up IMHO Pull out one of 1995 or 1996 and replace with another year like 1993 or 1998 and he's in I think... didn't happen though.
John Olerud comps nicely to Tony Perez. Similar profile. Olerud slightly better hitter, Perez adds value from his days at 3B, but I think Olerud was a better fielder at 1B, as far as I can tell and Perez played a little bit longer. Both well off my ballot, but in the consideration set.

Posted: January 23, 2011 at 02:40 AM (#3734918)In recent years it has been suggested that the Cy Young Award for Felix Hernandez or the Hall of Fame selection of Bert Blyleven show how far sabermetrics has come in winning general acceptance. Well, let me suggest that the near-unanimous rejection of John Olerud shows how far we haven't come. If John Olerud had hit .324 in his career¹, I suggest, his value would have been considered self-evident, and people would think of him as a Hall of Famer. He would have scored about 50 less runs; he would have driven in about 70 more—which would have given him six hundred-RBI seasons, rather than three.He has Olerud's career won-lost record at 282-121. Apparently, a big part of it is defense: why [does] Olerud's defense [rate] so well? ¹ i.e., if Olerud had had 500 fewer walks and 325 more singles in 325 more at-bats. In my analysis, John Olerud rates as an obvious Hall of Famer. I don't know about obvious, but I think he's a much stronger candidate than the consensus seems to, either in HoF or HoM voting. I've just started thinking about a ballot for next year, but at first glance I could see Olerud near the top.
So I was looking at my spreadsheet for this project, and I happened to sort/view differently than normal, and I had an epiphany that I was definitely undervaluing Olerud. Now I still need to go into more detail and look more at other players, but it wouldn't shock me if Olerud ends up on my ballot and if I think he is a deserving HOMer. The Keith Hernandez comp is pretty valid: both had a career 130 wRC+, were excellent defensively, and had a prime season interrupted by labor problems. Now, Hernandez was better defensively and as a baserunner and in a tougher era to dominate, so Hernandez was clearly better. But Olerud doesn't have to be better than Hernandez to be considered worthy, as long as he meets the standards of the HOM, which I think an argument can be made that he did.
7. STEAGLES manpants are making a comeback
Posted: October 21, 2012 at 01:46 PM (#4278077)I'm assuming that a lot of people might be dismissing Olerud because he played in an era that had many other great 1B/bats. But I think it's interesting if you compare with the other glut 1B/bat era, the 20s and early 30s: Gehrig : Bagwell Foxx: Thomas Greenberg : McGwire Leonard : Palmeiro Suttles : Martinez Terry & Sisler : Clark & Olerud I wasn't sure how to comp the last two. On the one hand Terry and Clark have almost identical wRC+s, although Clark has 1,000 more PAs. On the other hand, Terry & Olerud's fielding was much better than Sisler and Clark's. And of course it also depends on how you rank Clark vs. Olerud--I think Olerud is better, but Clark sailed in the HOM voting. Regardless, I think the above shows that Olerud fits in nicely and that the precedent is set that there aren't too many 1B from his era in. Now ultimately, you may think there are too many 1B in the HOM or there isn't enough space on your ballot, but for those who championed Terry, Sisler, or Clark, you should really consider Olerud.
how about the idea that he should go into the hall as an innovator, due to his pioneering the usage of a fielders' helmet?

Olerud was one of the slowest non-Molina baserunners I've seen in the last 20 years. I'm not sure BBref captures that as much as it could or should. He's seven runs better on baserunning than Konerko in 300 or so extra PAs, but Konerko was actually better than Olerud in his career on scoring from second on singles (which is truly shameful on Olerud's part). It seems Olerud's advantage is on first to thirds, and, except for the very fast, it would seem to me that would have a lot more to do with things out of the baserunner's control than scoring from second on a signle.
9. theorioleway
Posted: October 29, 2012 at 12:39 PM (#4287423)
So I did a more in-depth look at Olerud, and I think he falls short. He doesn't take as much of an advantage as others because his 1994-1995 weren't that good (120 and 113 wRC+), so he can't add that much value. That being said, I still think he is better than Clark and (probably) Sisler, and maybe Terry.

Endocrine disruptors in female reproductive tract development and carcinogenesis
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, Volume 20, Issue 7, 1 September 2009, Pages 357-363
Liang Ma
AbstractGrowing concerns over endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their effects on human fetal development and adult health have promoted research into the underlying molecular mechanisms of endocrine disruption. Gene targeting technology has allowed insight into the genetic pathways governing reproductive tract development and how exposure to EDCs during a critical developmental window can alter reproductive tract development, potentially forming the basis for adult diseases. This review primarily uses diethylstilbestrol (DES) as a model agent for EDCs and discusses the recent progress elucidating how DES and other EDCs affect murine female reproductive tract development and cancer at the molecular level.

Nuclear Receptor Coactivator-6 Attenuates Uterine Estrogen Sensitivity to Permit Embryo Implantation
Developmental Cell, Volume 23, Issue 4, 16 October 2012, Pages 858-865
Jun Kawagoe, Qingtian Li, Paola Mussi, Lan Liao, John P. Lydon, Francesco J. DeMayo and Jianming Xu
SummaryUterine receptivity to embryo implantation is coordinately regulated by 17β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4). Although increased E2 sensitivity causes infertility, the mechanisms underlying the modulation of E2 sensitivity are unknown. We show that nuclear receptor coactivator-6 (NCOA6), a reported coactivator for estrogen receptor α (ERα), actually attenuates E2 sensitivity to determine uterine receptivity to embryo implantation under normal physiological conditions. Specifically, conditional knockout of Ncoa6 in uterine epithelial and stromal cells does not decrease, but rather markedly increases E2 sensitivity, which disrupts embryo implantation and inhibits P4-regulated genes and decidual response. NCOA6 enhances ERα ubiquitination and accelerates its degradation, while loss of NCOA6 causes ERα accumulation in stromal cells during the preimplantation period. During the same period, NCOA6 deficiency also caused a failure in downregulation of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3), a potent ERα coactivator. Therefore, NCOA6 controls E2 sensitivity and uterine receptivity by regulating multiple E2-signaling components.

Conditional Deletion of MSX Homeobox Genes in the Uterus Inhibits Blastocyst Implantation by Altering Uterine Receptivity

Takiko Daikoku, Jeeyeon Cha, Xiaofei Sun, Susanne Tranguch, Huirong Xie, Tomoko Fujita, Yasushi Hirota, John Lydon, Francesco DeMayo, Robert Maxson and Sudhansu K. Dey
SummaryAn effective bidirectional communication between an implantation-competent blastocyst and the receptive uterus is a prerequisite for mammalian reproduction. The blastocyst will implant only when this molecular cross-talk is established. Here we show that the muscle segment homeobox gene (Msh) family members Msx1 and Msx2, which are two highly conserved genes critical for epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, also play crucial roles in embryo implantation. Loss of Msx1/Msx2 expression correlates with altered uterine luminal epithelial cell polarity and affects E-cadherin/β-catenin complex formation through the control of Wnt5a expression. Application of Wnt5a in vitro compromised blastocyst invasion and trophoblast outgrowth on cultured uterine epithelial cells. The finding that Msx1/Msx2 genes are critical for conferring uterine receptivity and readiness to implantation could have clinical significance, because compromised uterine receptivity is a major cause of pregnancy failure in IVF programs.

- Estrogen causes dramatic long-term changes in the activity of the uterus. Here we report the molecular cloning of a small (700 base) uterine mRNA species capable of inducing a slow K+ current in Xenopus oocytes. The 130 amino acid protein encoded by this mRNA species has a predicted structure that does not resemble that of previously described voltage-dependent channels from mammalian sources. It is, however, similar to structural motifs found in certain prokaryotic ion channels. The induction of this mRNA by estrogen is rapid; this uterine mRNA species is not detectable in uteri from estrogen-deprived rats, but is substantially induced after 3 hr of estrogen treatment. These results support a critical role for regulation of ion channel expression by estrogen in the uterus.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A Charleston based anti-poverty agency has changed its name to try and revive its reputation, the organization's director said Wednesday.
Danny Scalise, chief executive officer of Capital Resource Agency, plans to announce the group has changed its name to EnAct at an annual board meeting Thursday. The agency's website already reflects the name change.
EnAct stands for "The Engine for Action" and signifies the group's proactive approach to fighting poverty, Scalise said.
"It's about solving the problem, not just sitting back and waiting for someone to come in and say 'I want you to give me some money', which we have done in the past," he said.
CRA's past is something Scalise wants to change.
The CRA was set up in 2007 to replace Multi-CAP, a nonprofit agency that declared bankruptcy in 2001. Multi-CAP's former director went to jail after pleading guilty to spending federal money on strippers and a trip to the Kentucky Derby.
Two years ago, the state seized control of CRA's weatherization program after investigators discovered widespread fraud.

The decidedly pretty-in-pink Late Show host started things out and was soon joined by MO for a demonstration of the latest cool dance moves.
The pair put their personal spin on Raise the Roof, The Hip Bump, The Sprinkler, Reel It In, Driving the Station Wagon and The Happy Snapper.
They even tried a few 'Single Ladies' hand gestures before morphing into a whacked out version of The Electric Slide. Fallon threw in the towel when Mrs. Obama broke into The Dougie.
Good stuff … check out all of their dance moves below:
