If I pay a directory to appear on top (they usually call it Featured links) could Google ignore my backlink cause "Featured links" are always payment listings?
Wouldn't be better to pay for regular listing? So Google cannot know that you payed to accelerate the listing process?

Aizen's zanpakutō is Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月?, literally "Mirror Flower Water Moon"), which is also a Chinese proverb that teaches people about temptations. It is activated with the command "shatter" (砕けろ kudakero?). Kyōka Suigetsu's Shikai ability is Kanzen Saimin (完全催眠?, literally "Complete Hypnosis"). It controls the five senses to the point that it can make the target misinterpret form, shape, mass, feel and smell. The initiation condition for the hypnosis is to show the enemy the release of Kyōka Suigetsu. After seeing it just once, that person will completely succumb to the hypnosis. After that, every time it is released, that person will fall under the thrall of the hypnosis. The hypnosis is apparently long-lasting, seeing as the Visoreds are still affected by Kyōka Suigetsu even though they were hypnotized at least 110 years ago. Since the spell only works upon seeing the ritual, those who cannot see are consequently immune to the hypnosis. When Aizen turns off the hypnosis by force of will, the image shown melts away/shatters. Kyōka Suigetsu's Kanzen Saimin technique is absolutely flawless;
While the illusions Kyōka Suigetsu creates are quite powerful, those with considerable power and skill themselves may be able to note slight differences in the illusions compared to the real thing, even if they are not able to determine what, precisely, is different.
the only flaw in his ability....and even so as we saw with Unoharu (forgot how to spell her name) Medic Captain) she was under the influence but noticed small changes (only ..finally she started to put the pieces together....
You should not underestimate his powers..he was able to trick Juha Bach into thinking he had more time left....Aizen was restrained and did all that without his sword....

Quiz: What's Your Travel Personality?
If you're anything like me, you love a good quiz. Conde Nast has a fantastic article in this month's issue on page 61 that explores the various types of "Travel Personalities." Christian Wright's "Head Trips" (also available online) is so good that even if you disagree with their assessment of your travel preferences, you'll still be likely to forward this one around to your friends and co-workers. He describes the birth of the study of travel habits:
The scientific study of the relationship between personality and travel started more than 30 years ago, when 16 companies-including TWA and Reader's Digest-commissioned social scientist Stanley C. Plog to find out why nearly 75 percent of the population had never flown. The airlines had just ordered jets, and their capacity was about to increase by twenty percent," says Plog. "They were wondering how they were going to fill these things."
What's really impressive is that they take a stab at outlining your media, shopping and sports preferences as well as listing suggested domestic and international trips for your particular travel personality type. I was pegged for a "Centric Venturer" which I totally agree with but they were off on nearly everything else in terms of habits. Take a guess at which one they'll peg you for then take the quiz and let us know if you agree

Centric Authentic Traveler, that's me according to them. I'm not sure I agree with all but some was right on the money!
Laurie Jan 17th 2007 9:48AM
My profile was pretty accurate. They made me a little more "outdoorsy" than I really am, but the rest was on target.
Mary Jan 17th 2007 3:20PM
Wow, I'm impressed. I took the quiz and they pretty much nailed my style. I have already done many of their "recommended" tours and trips and have several of their other recommendations on my "wish list" too.
Casey Jan 21st 2007 2:17PM
Scarily on target! They pegged me as a mid-venture traveler, who likes to schedule tightly and stick to the itiniary. Once, on a trip to England, my family rebelled at being scheduled at 30 minute intervals and tore up the itiniary, refused any more historical tours and ended up drinking at the Hard Rock Cafe! Now, I travel with like-minded friends. We have Hard Rock Cafes here in Florida.
Christina Jan 21st 2007 2:43PM
I cannot believe a few simple questions knew me so well. I have a trip booked with a group to Mexico this spring. And the travel agent is going with us, I like to know that I will see and do everything. Take this quiz and you too will be amazed!
Leah Jan 21st 2007 2:53PM
WOW! I went in very sceptical, but after taking the quiz where they pegged me as a Venturer Traveler I think that they are right on the mark. Can't wait to try a few of the new ideas that were listed.
Thomas Jan 21st 2007 3:15PM
Some of the insights were very accurate as to my personality and many of the recommended trips I have already taken, but would do again. However some of the areas were way off! Travelling on a tour bus is o.k., but only if I know a lot of the people. Media Habits....way off. I rarely watch sitcoms and I love reading the paper and magazines. Shopping....buying trinkets to take home? No way. Too much clutter. I rarely even take pictures of the trip, preferring to just leave the memories in my head. Sports.....Baseball? Give me a basketball or football game any day. I like the action.
Overall it was an interesting quiz. But it was almost so general that it could fit anyone partially....sort of like a horoscope. :-)
Mary Vedder Jan 21st 2007 3:18PM
I was pegged as an Authentic Traveler, which I thought was pretty accurate. My shopping habits were accurate. However, media habits were not on the mark. And most glaringly NOT me: I indicated strong disagreement with all the quiz statements about preferring to be around people, going out socially, and having friends over, and strong agreeement with the preference to travel independently, but my profile stated that when given a choice I prefer to travel in a group, and that crowds at destinations don't bother me!!
bthornburg Jan 21st 2007 3:35PM
Could not have been further from the truth, do not like sitcoms, have traveled with a partner to Asia, climbed the Great Wall of China just to mention one trip of many. I was placed in authentic traveler. Went to Beijing in December to AVOID crowds, never been on a tour and I have been around the world several times.
geoff Jan 21st 2007 4:21PM
This was the worst persoality test i've ever taken, not one thing was correct. For example, the test said I love TV and that I dislike activity. The problem with this is one, I dont have a TV, and two, I love any kind of activity and will take on any adventure possible. This test was simply horrible.
R. Love Jan 21st 2007 4:27PM
You are a "Venturer Traveler". Not even close, some of the things had me on ice and trips to cold places and sleeping in sleeping bags.... no way, I hate to be cold and never like to sleep anywhere except in a bed.
GB Jan 21st 2007 4:32PM
Wrong. I don't own a camper, I HATE "Reality" based television. Utter and complete rubbish.
Jean Jan 21st 2007 5:29PM
Way off! Friendly, outgoing personality? Luxury? Jet set??? My ideal vacation is camping alone!
eleanore avery Jan 21st 2007 5:35PM
I was pegged a Mid-Venturer....which is quite accurate, but their suggestions for where to go missed the mark a bunch. I have already been to 62 countries, but always looking for new places.However, as a senior citizen, I will pass on all that trekking and rafting! I'm off to Patagonia next week and will be visiting the Gorillas this summer.......
Kay Jan 21st 2007 5:44PM
There was so very little of this that related to me that it's astounding. As an "authentic", I prefer group tours to very well-known places, supposedly. Actually, I prefer solo travel to the unknown, where I can meet the locals and experience their reality as much as possible, and I prefer camping to hotel stays. This also did not match my personality very well, and I LOVE to read, and can't stand baseball.
sue Jan 21st 2007 6:03PM
Oh my goodness, they had me pegged quite accurately. I was really amazed. A few things were somewhat off, but they were not of great importance. I thought the questions were not going to lead to any "reality" concerning my travel preferences, but they sure did!
Nikki Jan 21st 2007 6:33PM
Wow! Really right on the mark. I was pegged as a "Mid-Venturer Traveler". Examples of the accuracy of results:
"Others look to you for guidance and direction on what to buy, choices to make in their lives.." True, lots of people ask me for opinions on things such as these.
"...set an itinerary of places you want to visit and schedules when you will be there" True, I'm lost without my itinerary.
"You like technology but typically you will not be the first to try out new hi-tech products." True, examples are the DVD player and the IPOD... at first, I refused to even try them and now I am hooked.
I am seriously considering taking the suggested trips, a few of which (like Monaco), were already on my 'To Do' list.
Rhonda Jan 21st 2007 6:34PM
well it was pretty right on with what it said about me.. even down to the places I would like to visit..so I am pretty impressed and might even take their advice and travel to some of those places.. !!!

Some more additions to my .emacs file (actually, my init.el file now. I decided it was easier to be able to add my entire .emacs.d directory to source control, and keep all of my customizations in it). Most of these were from my old config files - It turns out there's a reason I had most of that stuff. I'll just keep re-adding stuff from them if I need it, it turns out I had a fairly comprehensible structure that allows me to easily find specific customizations I had.
(require 'ansi-color) (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on) (setq comint-prompt-read-only t) (shell)
A few more customizations to my shell configuration. The first line adds colours, as well as fixing the issues I mentioned last time. I had this in my old .emacs file, but did not realize it was what fixed shell-mode to be readable - part of the reason I started over I suppose, to better understand all of my customizations. The last line just starts a shell buffer - since I primarily use the shell from emacs, I always open one anyway. This just saves me from doing it manually.
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'visual-line-mode) (defadvice ispell-command-loop (before ispell-reverse-miss-list activate) "reverse the first argument to ispell-command-loop" (ad-set-arg 0 (reverse (ad-get-arg 0))))
I added a few things to make writing this blog and other text documents easier on myself. There are pretty much no downsides to setting the default major mode to text instead of fundamental. While in text mode, I also want spellchecking and line wrapping based on my frame size. The advice is something I picked up from the internet somewhere(actually, after investigating, from here), which reverses the order in which ispell makes suggestions. This tends to offer me better suggestions than just the normal order, for whatever reason.
(require 'uniquify) (setq uniquify-buffer-name-style 'reverse) (setq uniquify-separator "/") (setq uniquify-after-kill-buffer-p t) (setq uniquify-ignore-buffers-re "^\\*")
Uniquify is an built-in emacs package that renames buffers when you open two files with the same name. In the default case, they will merely be numbered, so for example you would have a .emacs buffer and an .emacs<2> buffer. Uniquify will append part of the file path to the file, so instead you'd have .emacs/nflath and .emacs/emacs buffers. uniquify-buffer-name-style and uniquify-separator control how the buffer names are created; describe-variable uniquify-buffer-name-style in order to see all the possible options. uniquify-after-kill-buffer-p controls whether or not buffers are renamed when other buffers were killed: When set to t, when one of the about duplicate .emacs buffers is closed, the other will rename itself to .emacs. The last line specifies not to perform this for special buffers, such as *scratch*
(defun insert-strong-tags () "Inserts  around the word at point" (interactive) (save-excursion (re-search-backward "\\s ") (forward-char 1) (insert "") (forward-char 1) (re-search-forward "\\s \\|$") (if (not (eq (point) (point-max))) (backward-char 1)) (insert ""))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c i s") 'insert-strong-tags)
I actually wrote this function while writing this blog post. This is one of the great things about emacs: You can immediately solve inefficiencies once you notice them. This function will insert strong tags around the word you are currently on, leaving the point at the same location. This is great when you forget to add an opening tag to the beginning of the word, or are noticing an error you made afterwords and just need to add the tags.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-a") 'back-to-indentation)
I used to have C-a bound to switch between going to the beginning of the line and back to the indentation, but I realized I pretty much never wanted to go to the actual beginning of a line. I rebound C-a to what usually M-m because it's much easier to type.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c j") 'join-line)
A useful function that doesn't have a default keybinding, so I provided one
(add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 80) (column-number-mode)
The first of these customizations will delete trailing whitespace from files every time I save. I really, really hate it when I press C-e and am not at what I want to edit, and I haven't ever encountered a situation where I need to keep trailing whitespace, so I just automate the process of removing it. The second line just sets the size of the font; you should customize this to your liking, depending on your monitor's resolution. On some versions and monitors, I've had to have this be at 90; others I could set the size to 60 without any problems. column-number-mode puts the current column number on the mode line, which I like to know.
I have made a few more customizations, but they're big enough to warrant separate posts.

Guest MINDSETTER™ Jamie Fulmer: Payday Lenders Bridge the Gap in the Credit Market
Monday, November 12, 2012
A recent article presented an inaccurate portrayal of payday advances and the important role they play in the lives of many hardworking, middle-income Rhode Island families.
As the authors note, Americans are currently facing an enormous uphill battle and use a combination of financial tools to manage periodic financial challenges. These tools include personal loans from a bank or credit union, or even a nonprofit organization; the sale of jewelry, precious metals or collectibles; short-term use of a credit card; or a cash advance from a regulated short-term credit provider like my company, Advance America. When confronting a need for urgent credit, consumers carefully weigh the costs and risks associated with these options.
Consumers benefit from having such a wide variety of competitive credit solutions. But strict credit and membership requirements and long approval times exclude bank and credit union options for a significant number of consumers. And while short-term lenders welcome competition, including from organizations like the Capitol Good Fund and West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation, these nonprofits serve a limited number of consumers, making them inadequate substitutes for retail lending.
Short-term lenders such as Advance America bridge the gap in the credit market, providing consumers with critical access to credit when other financial institutions do not fully serve them. A payday advance from Advance America, with its fixed, one-time fee of $10 per $100 borrowed in Rhode Island, serves as an affordable tool for overcoming financial difficulties, especially when compared with more expensive options such as overdraft fees, unregulated Internet loans or missing a bill payment.
Though any form of credit can be abused or misused, our experience shows that most customers use payday advances responsibly. We work with all customers to help them be successful borrowers, including those unable to repay by their due date, and offer an Extended Payment Plan at no additional charge. Our customer satisfaction and repayment rates are both above 90 percent, indicating that our customers understand and appreciate our service – for them, it makes personal and economic sense.
Providing a diverse array of credit options is an essential part of creating economic empowerment. Payday advances and other short-term financial services play an important role in ensuring all Americans have access to cost-effective, reliable and transparent credit when they need it.
Jamie Fulmer is the Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for Advance America, Cash Advance Centers, Inc.

Samuel Bell
The business model for payday lending is to charge vulnerable Americans in tough situations utterly preposterous interest rates--typically in excess of 100%. The bill Advance America recently killed by hiring the former Speaker of the House as a lobbyist would have merely capped such interest rates at 36%, a number that is still mind-bogglingly high, especially when compared to the interest my bank pays me.
These absurd loans are often simply unpayable, and they trap those already down in a vicious cycle of debt that is wrecking families all across America.
Payday lending is predatory lending in one of its vilest forms. I frankly find it stupefying that we got through a cataclysmic economic meltdown caused largely by predatory lending with predatory lending still perfectly legal. Let's fix this, Rhode Island.

The explanation Mr. Bell gave above is absolutely not the same type of lending that caused the near-collapse of our financial system. The types of loans that trap consumers into loans they can't pay are loans with compounding interest rates so high you never get to paying down the principal, and then the value of the properties collapsed on top of it.
Payday lending of a few hundred dollars is a debt burden without compounding interest and because of that, it's not a type of lending that can't be easily gotten out from under.
As a person who recently had to get private short-term financing to complete a construction project because Dodd-Frank placed so many rules and regulations on the banks that they're unwilling to lend, I can attest to the value and need of private short-term lending. Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to borrow money in any case, but the lack of compounding interest on payday loans makes them high-interest, but hardly predatory.
Samuel Bell
Payday loans are predatory because the interest rates are astronomically higher than the market rate. There's really no way you can fudge the numbers to avoid that fact.

An Arizona city is looking for recruits to join its police department's Crime Scene Unit.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that John Neeley, identification superintendent for the Tucson Police Department, says recent retirements and promotions have left the unit open to hiring five civilian technicians.
Skills needed: strong photography skills and cast-iron stomachs.
Neeley, a former news photographer, says previous forensic experience is not necessary, but skills with a camera are important.
An information meeting for prospective employees will held Monday evening at the main police station downtown.

Wow and then a few pages back she's like LOLOL WHAT IS A GENDERQUEER IDEK BUT PEOPLE WHO POST THEIR TITS ON TUMBLR ARE ALL SLUTS AND IF YOU POST YOURS BEING ALL "LOL NOPE NOT A GIRL" YOU'RE JUST A SLUT LOOKING FOR COMPLIMENTS LIKE EVERY OTHER GIRL ON TUMBLR WHO DOES THAT
because of course it's just impossible to have a non-solid identity. All those genderfluid or genderqueer people out there just don't know what they're talking about! Clarri is here to raise her eyebrows at us and tell us we're just figuring our real gender out. Thank you, I needed to be told by a cis girl that any reasons I may have for being genderqueer are probably invalid because she doesn't get it and people like me are just trying to figure it out and don't know what they are!
I don't follow Clarri. I unfollowed her because she pissed me off and since then she's only continued to be basically awful. I don't think she's an evil human being or anything like that and I'm sure she's perfectly nice to her friends and plenty of people like her, but I can't take it. She's ignorant and rude and hateful and I have seen so much hate and ignorance and rudeness on this subject lately
and in case you haven't noticed, it's very near and dear to my heart. The internet is basically the ONE PLACE IN MY LIFE where I know people will just fucking accept my identity and see me the way I want them to and use the pronouns I want and use the names I like and not make me feel shitty. This is the one place where most of the people I meet even know what 'genderqueer' means and it's the one place I really feel comfortable disclosing things about my identity.
My home life isn't bad or anything but my family Does Not Get It and they don't seem to be making much of an effort to try, so this is pretty much it. This is where I go to not feel like I'm being misgendered and mislabeled and misviewed and treated like some kind of interesting theory.
I know that I can just very easily avoid Clarri by not looking at her blog. No one I follow reblogs her as far as I'm aware and if someone did it frequently enough I'd probably unfollow them because she has a mindset I just can't bring myself to agree with. It's toxic to be exposed to.
So this is the last thing I have to say about her for the night unless she by some chance has something to say to me, which I doubt.
I want to say that you, Clarri, and other people like her, might think that your words don't have any effect. You might think that you're just expressing an opinion on your blog and no one will get upset by it. But you're ignoring a very fundamental fact, which is that words mean things. Words make people feel things.
And when your personal opinions are like that, that certain sexualities and identities that people have experienced don't exist because you don't get it, and when your personal blog is full of hate and mockery, it affects people. I don't know of anyone who can sit there and watch their identity be attacked and mocked and not feel bad about it, and if they're in a fragile mental state it's even worse.
I've spent the entire semester in a slow breakdown and it's all started coming together in the last week. I have done jack shit as far as schoolwork. Thinking about schoolwork, literally thinking about doing a five minute assignment or opening up a book, makes me feel like crying. I have gone to one class this week. I have a final I think I am literally incapable of doing because it involves speaking.
I have methodically ripped chunks of hair out of my head because, somehow, it made me feel better. This is the mental state I'm in. I'm done. I'm fucking done. If I weren't going to see a therapist on Friday I think I'd probably just go lay down and sleep and never leave my room again except to use the bathroom.
And seeing things like what Clarri said, and the discussions people on my dash have been having, and another hateful blog someone linked to? Is making it worse. Is making me miserable. Is making me feel hopeless and full of hurt because I have not done a single goddamn thing to these people and would accept their identities whole-heartedly and without judgment, and they have the gall to sit there and say I don't exist, and I'm faking, and I'm without validity, and I'm probably just looking for attention, and I'm stupid, and all of these other horrible things and they don't even know me.
That hurts. That hurts, no matter who you are.
So don't act like you can just say whatever you want with no consequences. You can't. You can say whatever you want, but your words mean things and have an effect and if you really think you're allowed to spew hate and venom everywhere and no one is allowed to be hurt or offended or tell you to shut your fucking mouth you shitstain, then please, let me tell you: you're not.
No one is. No one has the right to be hateful to another person without being called on it or that other person getting hurt. No one has the right to trample all over people's feelings or be a cockbag and not get called out for being a total cockbag.
You are not free from the consequences and the consequences of your hate are that people will be angry, and hurt, and sad, and scared, and feel badly about themselves, and hurt themselves, and kill themselves, and these things are directly caused by the way you have acted and the things you have said.
You are never not responsible for what you say.
This goes out to all the cis people who, it's quite obvious, want to help and befriend trans people, but who keep alienating and angering us instead. I've seen the befuddled looks on your faces when this happens, and I thought I'd try to clear a few things up for you. Let's look at some common scenarios in which well-meaning cis people screw up with the whole pro-trans thing, and look at how some of these could go differently:
Scenario: You see someone whose gender you can't determine just by looking at them. You want to make sure that you're respectful of their identity.
Wrong Way to Ask: "Are you a man or a woman?"
Phrasing it this way will put the trans person on the defensive, and make them feel like you're questioning and possibly even attacking their gender. It can also make them feel highly insecure about their gender presentation.Right Way to Ask: "What pronouns do you prefer?"
This phrasing makes it clear that you intend to respect the person's gender identity, regardless of what they look like. It shows an acknowledgment that the onus of respect is on you, and not their presentation or "passability".—
Scenario: You have just made an insensitive joke about trans people in the presence of your trans friend. You didn't mean to hurt them, and you weren't even thinking about them when you made the joke, but now the relationship is strained and you want to try to repair it.
Wrong Thing to Say: "Come on; it was just a joke! Lighten up!"
This tells your friend that you don't take their pain seriously, and that you don't think they should take it seriously either. It sends a message that trans lives and trans experiences matter less than your feelings of guilt and unease at being called out.Right Thing to Say: "That was really thoughtless of me. I'll try not to do it again."
Nine times out of ten, your friend will know you didn't mean to hurt them. Most people don't. But they need you to understand that you have hurt them. They need you to know this, not so you can stew in guilt, but so all involved can heal and move on.—
Scenario: Your trans friend doesn't "pass". You think you can see what they're doing wrong, and you want to help.
Wrong Thing to Do: List off all the things they're doing "wrong", and tell them how to fix them.
Trans people's self-esteem is rocky enough as it is. By focusing on all the ways in which they look different from cis people, you are not only causing anxiety and dysphoria for the trans person, but also reinforcing the idea that trans people are "lesser" or "fake". Besides, your friend may not even see "passing" as a desirable goal, in which case you are getting up in their face for no reason at all.Right Thing to Do: Mind your own damn business.
If your friend wants you to help with their image, they will ask you. Regardless, respect their gender identity unconditionally.—
Scenario: You've messed up a trans person's name/pronouns. You didn't mean to, but you can see the anguish on their face, and you want to make things right.
Wrong Thing to Say: "I'm sorry; it's just that you're still [previous name] to me!"
Of all the things you could possibly say to a trans person, this is among the most hurtful. It's one thing to struggle to accept someone's identity; it's quite another to impose the wrong identity on that person in order to excuse your difficulty.Right Thing to Say: "I'm sorry. I'll keep trying."
Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone has difficulty adapting to a major change in another person. What's important is that you try, and that you correct yourself when you mess up. That's all anyone can reasonably ask; at the same time, it's the least you can do.—
Scenario: You're framing a health issue in terms of a specific gender (e.g., framing menstruation in terms of women), and a trans person points out that it isn't necessarily unique to that gender and/or that they're being left out of the discussion by your framing.
Wrong Response: "Well, BIOLOGICALLY speaking, it really does only affect [gender]."
Framing gender solely in terms of biology is always hurtful to trans people, no matter what the context. It's even more hurtful when people who are strongly affected by an issue are deliberately erased in discussions of it.Right Response: "Good point. I'll try to remember it."
We're all soaking in narratives that mash all the complexities of gender into two discrete categories, so it's understandable that you'd initially think in those terms as well. But expanding your mind is never a bad thing, especially when it means including people who need/deserve to be included.—
Scenario: You've known your trans friend/relative by one gender all your life, and now, all of a sudden, they're asking you to call them by a different name and pronouns. This comes as a shock, and you feel like you don't know them anymore; you feel like they've died and some new person has taken their place. Yet you want to stay in relationship with them, somehow.
Wrong Thing to Do: Categorically refuse to respect their request, insisting that it's too difficult and hurtful for you.
Your trans friend/relative has taken a great risk by revealing their identity to you, and they've done so because they want and need to stay in relationship with you. For you to refuse to accept them, for you to prioritize your (relatively smaller) pain over theirs, is terribly cruel. Your pain is absolutely valid, but this is not the way to handle it.Right Thing to Do: Work out your grief issues with a counselor and/or with cis friends, away from your friend/relative.
The person you thought existed is gone, most likely forever. This is going to be very tough for you to deal with, and you absolutely do need to deal with it. But the person who does exist, the person you've loved, will need your continuing love and support — and that person is not responsible for your healing. Do whatever you need to do to get to a place where you can relate to them respectfully and lovingly, and do it without placing additional burdens on them.—
In short: respect us; care about us; treat us as equals; be willing to learn; be willing to grow. Once you get the hang of it, it's really not as hard as it seems.

Completion of a project to upgrade the Beatties Ford Road corridor will result in a strengthened business community and safer pedestrian access in the area, city officials said Thursday at the projects ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The $3.65 million city-funded project, finished in May, aims to make the area more attractive to shoppers and developers while also being more pedestrian-friendly.
Improvements include street medians with plants, new pedestrian crossings, wider sidewalks and decorative lighting. There are also six bus shelters featuring public art and a monument at the Montana-Gilbert street intersection.
What you see today is the beginning of the economic development and community revitalization, said Aaron McKeithan, president of Historic West End Neighborhood Association.
Hopefully this will change the image as it rebrands the corridor with history of West End.
The projects aim is to recruit higher-quality and higher-density retail and mixed-use development while preserving West Ends history. Construction began in the fourth quarter of 2011.
McKeithan added the construction did not disrupt traffic and went smoothly. The community has already started to see benefits, he said, pointing to the increased traffic flow.
North Carolina artist David Wilson used historic photographs to create the public art that honors civic leaders from Charlottes African-American community. Pictures and quotations from civic leaders provide a backdrop behind the bus shelters.
This is an opportunity for us on a community basis to collect art, said Carolyn Flowers, Charlotte Area Transit System CEO. We have not incorporated color into our shelters before, so this is vibrant.
Flowers said the Beatties Ford corridor has the third highest ridership in the bus system, with more than 1.2 million riders annually.
For CATS, transportation is not about taking people from one place to another, its about enhancing our communities, she said.
Besides the convenience, we want to make sure everyone enjoys their ride. We take great pride and pleasure in what weve created here today.

St. Albans is a middle class community in the New York City borough of Queens around the intersection of Linden Boulevard and Farmers Boulevard, about two miles north of JFK Airport. It is southeast of Jamaica, west of Cambria Heights and north of Springfield Gardens and Laurelton.[2] The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 12,[3][4] and is served by the St. Albans Post Office, ZIP Code 11412. The population within the ZIP code, according to the 2010 census, was 34,882 - a decline of 7% from the 37,452 of 2000.[1]
Part of a land grant to Dutch settlers from New Netherland Governor Peter Stuyvesant in 1655, the area, like much of Queens, remained farmland and forest for most of the next two centuries.
By the 1800s, the plantations of four families — the Remsens, Everitts, Ludlums and Hendricksons — formed the nucleus of this sprawling farm community in the eastern portion of Jamaica Township. In 1814, when the Village of Jamaica (the first village on Long Island) was incorporated, its (the village's) boundaries extended eastward to Freeman's Path (now Farmers Boulevard), and south to Lazy Lane (called Central Avenue in 1900, then Foch Boulevard in the 1920s,[5][6][7] and now Linden Boulevard), thus including parts of present-day St. Albans.[8] In 1852, the old mill pond that is now at the center of Baisley Pond Park was acquired by the Brooklyn waterworks for use as a reservoir.[9]
In 1872, the Long Island Rail Road Cedarhurst Cut-off was built through the area, but no stop appears on the first timetables. In 1892, an area called Francis Farm was surveyed and developed for housing. There were numerous Francis families farming in the eastern portion of the Town of Jamaica in the 1880s.[10] Francis Lewis Boulevard (named for a signer of the Declaration of Independence, from Queens), which does not yet appear on maps from 1909,[11] nor in 1910,[12] is now the eastern boundary of St. Albans.
Soon, the first street lights illuminated the crossroads that is now Linden Boulevard and Farmers Boulevard. New shops clustered around August Everitt's lone store. By July 1, 1898, a railroad station opened where the tracks crossed Locust Avenue (now Baisley Boulevard).[13][14] The station was razed and replaced with grade elimination October 15, 1935. Today, the St. Albans station provides Long Island Rail Road service to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan or Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn, with transfers available at Jamaica station.
In 1899, a year after Queens became part of New York City (and with the Town of Jamaica and the Village of Jamaica thereby dissolved), the new post office for the 600 residents[15] was named St. Albans, after St Albans in Hertfordshire, England, which itself was named after a Saint Alban, thought to be the first Christian martyred in England. The name had been in use for the area since at least 1894 for the name of the school district,[16] and the LIRR station was named St. Albans when it opened in 1898. A 1909 map also shows a St Albans Avenue and a St Albans Place in the area.[11][17]
The St. Albans Golf Course, built in 1915, brought rich and famous golfers, including baseball star Babe Ruth. The Depression forced the golf course owners to try to sell, but plans for private development fell through. The land was seized by the federal government in 1942,[18] and construction soon began on the St. Albans Naval Hospital, which opened in 1943.[19] After construction was completed in 1950,[20] the hospital had 3000 beds and contained a network of 76 wards. The hospital was turned over to the Veterans Administration in 1974 and more recently evolved into the Veterans Administration St. Albans Primary and Extended Care Facility.
Many famous jazz musicians used to live in St. Albans, particularly in some of the large houses in the small western enclave known as Addisleigh Park. The soul musician James Brown lived in St. Albans very near to the Veterans Administration facility. As a neighborhood adjacent to Hollis, St. Albans was one of the birthplaces of the "Hip Hop" and Rap music genres in the 1970s and 1980s.
St. Albans housing consists mostly of detached, one and two-family homes. Linden Boulevard is the major shopping street.
The neighborhood and the surrounding areas are considered the heart of Queens' working class Black community, with 34% claiming Caribbean ancestry.[citation needed]

Ooh-La-Oops: French Design is Floundering at 'Jane's Carousel'
Brooklyn's newest carousel is lacking its promised "magic."
Although Jane Walentas' Brooklyn Bridge Park carousel has been up and running for two months now, the "Magic Lantern" effect conceived of by French designer Jean Nouvel has failed to deliver on its promise of creating a shadow box effect to viewers after the sun goes down. But no worries, it only cost around $9 million to put together. Read More

I bought a lanparte rig and I asked if they could dispatch it as soon as possible because I needed it in 1 week (I live in Greece). They actually send the product the same day and it arrived on time. Furthermore, they also replied to my request with an email, which is an amazing thing for the customer, to get some feedback and know that thise people actually READ.
I will need some stuff very soon and I will definitely buy again from camerakings.co.uk
Thank you.

I found Speegraphic through google looking for a specific product. It was the first I got to see their online store, being a bit skeptical at first. After reading all the positive reviews in Trustpilot I decided to proceed.
- They are fast on dispatch
- Packaging of the package was good
- I got fast reply on an email after the purchase
- tracking number for the package was available
I am located in Greece (Athens) and I would recommend to anyone trying out this store. They deserve a good look.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Georgetown freshman LSM Tyler Knarr to have knee surgery, may miss season
Jon Brand - 9/22/2009
Freshman LSM Tyler Knarr (La Salle, Pa.) will undergo knee surgery to determine the severity of a right ACL tear suffered last spring and may be out for the season, Georgetown coach Dave Urick confirmed today.
Knarr, IL's No. 12 incoming freshman, sat out the end of his senior season at La Salle, but played in June's Under Armour All-America Classic. He showcased his two-way ability as a pole and held his own for the North at the face-off X against Virginia-bound Chris LaPierre. This year, he was expected to learn on the job as a backup for senior LSM Barney Ehrmann.
Though Urick doubts Knarr will be able to suit up this year, he said a window for recovery may still be possible, depending on what the procedure reveals. Stay tuned to InsideLacrosse.com for updates.

Essentially from the moment that Doug Marrone was hired as Buffalo Bills head coach, his college quarterback - Ryan Nassib of Syracuse - has been mocked to the Bills on a seemingly daily basis. Nassib is available in this mock draft scenario, but I'm taking the Bills in a different direction.
Team | Player | Position | Height | Weight | Class |
41. Buffalo Bills | E.J. Manuel, Florida State | QB | 6'5" | 237 | SR |
Brian Galliford: "The signing of Kevin Kolb will buy the Bills some time at quarterback, even if it's only the rough equivalent of half a season. An opportunity therefore exists for the team to forego safer quarterback prospects that could conceivably play right away (i.e. Ryan Nassib or perhaps Matt Barkley) in favor of a higher-risk, potentially higher-reward prospect. "In a quarterback class with no sure bets, Manuel is the closest thing to the athletic prototype for his position - and GM Buddy Nix loves him some athletic prototypes. Manuel is big with a strong arm, athletic and mobile, and arguably has as much upside as any quarterback available this year. It's just my opinion, but I believe Manuel will be the top-rated quarterback on Buffalo's draft board. With some time to spare and a dire need to draft its first developmental quarterback since J.P. Losman, the time to pull the trigger is now." |
Here's our own Dan Kadar to break down the pick:
The reasoning on why Manuel could be the pick for Buffalo is sound. The signing of Kolb to a team-friendly deal will be worth every penny if it allows Buffalo to go this direction and Manuel turns into a franchise quarterback. Of all the signal callers in the class, Manuel's potential is just as good or better than anyone's. There are flaws in his game. He struggles reading the middle of the field and pushes the ball into coverage. Manuel's flaws are largely coachable, though. His natural athleticism and reputation for being a team leader cannot be.
That's a wrap for the day. We'll be back with three more picks (Nos. 42-44) tomorrow, starting once again at 9AM ET.
Top 5 players remaining

Reutter has been reporting and writing on Baltimore since 1970, when he started as a 19-year-old summer intern covering cops for The Evening Sun. He worked on a wide range of beats for the Sunpapers, including inner-city housing and downtown development, and exposed (with colleague Steve Luxenberg) the corrupt practices of the Pallottine Fathers, a local Catholic order. In the 1980s, he undertook an intensive study of blue-collar life and the business history of Baltimore's then-largest employer, Bethlehem Steel, which resulted in the now classic "Making Steel." In addition to his writings on Baltimore, he has edited the historical magazine, Railroad History, and publishes with the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.

Many people have written about the split that is coming up this year for Conoco-Phillips. The time is coming soon and it will bring good benefits to investors. The stock should also move up this year. It is worth buying into now.
Conoco-Phillips (COP) operates as an integrated energy company worldwide. The company's Exploration and Production (E&P) segment explores for, produces, transports, and markets crude oil, bitumen, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Its Midstream segment gathers, processes, and markets natural gas; and fractionates and markets natural gas liquids in the United States and Trinidad. The company's Refining and Marketing (R&M) segment purchases, refines, markets, and transports crude oil and petroleum products, such as gasoline, distillates, and aviation fuels. Its Chemicals segment manufactures and markets petrochemicals and plastics.
Conoco's split will be into an Exploratory and Production Company and the second will be a refining and marketing business. This will help the company in two important ways: First, it will allow each leadership group to focus on its business of expertise. Secondly, money will be invested at the levels of the needs of each separate company helping streamline work. The Refining and Marketing (R&M) business is low cost compared to exploration. This will also help it keep a higher credit rating which is good for investors.
When Conoco splits, its refining arm will be a force to be reckoned with world wide. It owns 12 U.S. refineries, and has a two-refinery joint venture with Alberta-based oil producer Cenovus Corp. COP refines 10% of all U.S. oil. This makes this new company the largest independent U.S. refinery.
A stock split does not alter the equation financially for either the company or the shareholder. It is considered a sign of a growth company to split its stocks, so that may affect perceptions of the company, but by itself the stock split does not change the value of a company. This is supposed to increase dividend income as well as capital appreciation according to Todd Johnson who wrote an article for Seeking Alpha on this split when it was announced back in the summer of 2011.
Now is a good time to get into COP before the split. Before the announcement of the split, COP was in the beginnings of a downward trend. After the announcement, they have formed a well-defined Ascending Triangle in the weekly charts. A bullish continuation patterns like this one is very reliable leading into more upward movement. Analysts have set a target of 94 for COP so it still has a nice journey ahead of itself. We believe now is a very good time to buy into the stock and hold it.
Additional disclosure: I have fixed eiditing as needed thank you.
