Advantage Leasing Launches Expanded Vendor Program
PR Log
- Jul 10, 2012 - Businesses that sell equipment or technology know that closing a sale with cash can be a tough sell. Often, customers don't want to go through the hassle of applying for a bank loan, and no business wants to lay out a large amount of cash for a purchase that pays for itself over time. That's where vendor lease programs come in.
Advantage Leasing Corporation, an
equipment leasing company
based in Milwaukee, WI, specializes in working with companies that sell equipment in the $5,000-$150,000 range. To assist these companies with offering additional financing solutions, they have developed a comprehensive
vendor leasing program.
"The purpose of the Vendor Lease Program is to make it as easy as possible for our partner companies to close a sale," says Mike Elton, Vice President - Sales.
Customers can check rates with an
online lease calculator
, figure out their payments, and apply for a financing arrangement, all with a seamless web interface. "Approvals are often same day," says Elton. The web tools with the Vendor Lease Program also allow these companies to offer a monthly payment option earlier in the sales process.
Advantage distinguishes itself from other equipment leasing (
) vendor programs by creating custom buttons for their partners' websites that link the partner website directly to an online lease calculator and online lease application.
Leasing or financing programs are especially attractive because they enable the buyer to spread the costs of the equipment over time, and the salesperson to sell a payment, not a lump sum. Lease programs allow partner companies to focus on doing what they do best – selling equipment, not managing financing programs.
As a direct lender with their own capital base, not a broker, Advantage Leasing offers some of the most competitive rates available from equipment leasing companies. (

The Dallas Cowboys rode a strong performance from Tony Romo on Sunday as they came back from a ten point fourth quarter deficit to win 27-24 in overtime. Given Romo's fourth quarter meltdown in week one, Cowboys fans and fantasy football fans have to be excited by the strong showing from Romo. The Cowboys QB finished with 345 passing yards, two touchdowns and no turnovers.
What makes Romo's performance all the more memorable was the fact that he did after suffering a fractured rib on an Ahmad Brooks hit in the second quarter. Romo did not rejoin the team on the field to start the third quarter and was replaced for a time by Jon Kitna. However, Romo decided the injury was worth gutting out and he came back on to help guide his team to victory.
It is believed Romo has two cracked ribs and he will undergo a CT scan on Monday. The Cowboys are on Monday Night Football this coming week, which means Romo gets an extra day to get ready. Given his performance on Sunday against the 49ers, one would imagine he will be ready to play next Monday. However, we'll have to wait for final confirmation from the Cowboys following the scans. Romo will likely at least be limited in practice this week.
The Redskins are off to a solid start, which could make for a tough fantasy start for Romo. Kevin Kolb put together 251 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in his Sunday matchup with the Redskins. If you would normally start a healthy Romo, a banged up Romo is likely still worth the start.

Steven Pearson, a 57-year-old Lochearn resident has been missing since he left to meet someone about a contracting job Dec. 17.
Police need help finding Pearson "who was last seen operating a white, 2006 Chevrolet van with Maryland license plate 40V190," according to a news release Thursday from the Baltimore County Police Department.
The van has a dent on the driver's side door. The van has cargo-style side doors.
Pearson is a resident of the 6600 block of Parsons Avenue, and was last seen there at about 1 p.m. Dec. 17 before he left for the meeting.
He is 57 years old, 6-foot 4-inches tall, and weighs 190 pounds, the release states. He has black-and-gray hair and brown eyes.
He was last seen wearing a green hat, gray sweatshirt, and blue jeans, it states.
Anyone who has information about where Pearson might be, or information on the location of his vehicle, is asked to call Baltimore County police at 410-307-2020.

AUSTIN, Minn. (KTTC) -- KSMQ-TV in Austin returned to the air at about 8 p.m. Wednesday using a temporary tower.
The station had been off the air since early Wednesday morning when its 444-foot tall broadcast tower fell to the ground during a wind storm.
The tower went down in a parking lot at Riverland Community College in Austin.
"This took out their studio to transmitter microwave link and means they are off-the-air," explained KTTC Director of Engineering Tim Morgan. KSMQ-TV's broadcast signal is transmitted from a tower near Grand Meadow, Minnesota, and the station used the now-collapsed Austin tower to send its programming from its broadcast facility to the transmitter.
KTTC's Austin newsroom facility was also affected by the tower collapse, since ENG and skycam systems were mounted on the tower.
"I called our Master Control and they told us that we had been out but didn't know why," says Eric Olson, the President and CEO of KSMQ Television in Austin, describing the events of Wednesday morning.
The structure is engineered in such a way that when it fell, it fell at less than half its height, which proved to save any further damage to the area.
"First impressions were I was surprised," explains Olson. "I only live six blocks from here so as I was walking here I was surprised at the debris down and the trees down because I didn't think we had much of a storm. But I got here and said 'Oh my goodness'. It's just all a twisted mess."
The Austin Fire Department arrived on scene at about 8:30 AM to assess the damage and make sure no fires would be caused by the downed lines.
The estimated cost to the station will be around $10,000, but considering the circumstances, it could have been much worse.
"The fact that it stayed within its own footprint, inside its own cables and came down," explains Mickey Healey, the fire chief with the Austin Fire Department. "It could've reached, potentially, Riverland's buildings. It fell in a nice, small pattern. Everything is in tact. Roof and structure of the building are all in tact."
The Minnesota Public Television station is quickly working to pick up the pieces after Wednesdays storm, and everyone with the station knows they got away lucky.
"Even though we have insurance we will have at least 10k in costs we will be responsible for," says Olson. "As a non-profit, this presents a challenge."
Olson indicated that people can help by contributing to the KSMQ Tower Fund at any Home Federal Savings Bank or via the station's website. Olson says insurance adjusters will arrive on site Thursday to begin assessing damage.

Welsh Govt blames outside organisation for lap-dancing advice
The Welsh Government says an 'external third party' provided factsheets on lap-dancing, stripping and escort work that could be reached from its Big Ideas Wales website. An urgent investigation was ordered by the First Minister after he was told about the links during questions in the Senedd.
– Welsh Government spokesperson
Immediate action was taken once we were made aware of the issue with access to the factsheets being blocked from the business.wales and Big Ideas Wales websites. The factsheets were among hundreds provided by an external third party provider COBRA, which also provides business start up information to other government organisations and bodies, including libraries, banks and universities, across the UK.

|Classification and external resources
Ariboflavinosis (pronounced "AY-rybo-flayvin-OH-sis") is the medical condition caused by deficiency of riboflavin (vitamin B2). Ariboflavinosis is most often seen in association with protein-energy malnutrition, and also in cases of alcoholism.
It was originally known as pellagra sin pellagra (pellagra without pellagra), as it exhibits certain similarities to the niacin deficiency pellagra.
The United States Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for riboflavin ranges from 1.1 to 1.3 milligrams per day for healthy adults to as high as 1.6 mg/day for pregnant or nursing women.
The most common cause of ariboflavin deficiency is an inadequate diet; thus, it occurs most frequently in populations consuming limited quantities of riboflavin-containing foods such as meats, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, leafy green vegetables and whole grains. Riboflavin deficiency can also occur in those with impaired liver function, which prevents proper use of the vitamin. Borderline riboflavin deficiency as a consequence of certain anti-retroviral medications has also been known to cause acute lactic acidosis.
An animal model of riboflavin kinase deficiency has been identified.[1]
The signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency typically include sore throat with redness and swelling of the mouth and throat mucosa, cheilosis and angular stomatitis (cracking of the lips and corners of the mouth), glossitis (magenta tongue with atrophy), seborrheic dermatitis or pseudo-syphilis (moist, scaly skin particularly affecting the scrotum or labia majora and the nasolabial folds), and a decreased red blood cell count with normal cell size and hemoglobin content (normochromic normocytic anemia).
Riboflavin deficiency is usually found together with other nutrient deficiencies, particularly of the other water-soluble vitamins. Phototherapy to treat jaundice in infants can cause increased degradation of riboflavin, leading to deficiency if not monitored closely. Persons with chronic alcoholism can have impaired absorption of riboflavin and other vitamins such as thiamine (see Wernicke's encephalopathy).
Studies of the Turkoman people of Iraq, who have a significantly increased incidence of esophageal cancer, have shown some relationship between chronic riboflavin deficiency and the onset of esophageal malignancies.
One study of pregnant women has found that riboflavin-deficient women were 4.7 times more likely to develop preeclampsia,[2] though the mechanism for this is not known.
Treatment involves a diet which includes an adequate amount of riboflavin. In cases related to weakened liver function, intravenous supplementation may be required.

Monday is the big day for pumpkin growers in Half Moon Bay and from around the world competing in the 39th Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off for either the biggest or most beautiful pumpkin.
It's the official weigh-off day, taking place from 7 to 11 a.m. on the I.D.E.S. Grounds at 735 Main Street in Half Moon Bay.
Using forklifts and harnesses, the monster gourds will be carefully placed on a 5-ton capacity digital scale under the watchful eye of officials from the San Mateo County Agricultural Commissioner's Office of Weights, Sealers, and Measures. The public is invited to attend the event and witness the streets around town lined with trucks loaded down with the biggest and most beautiful pumpkins.
Larry Centoni, John Szabo, Silvio Modena, and Farmer John Muller are the Coastside entries this year, although Szabo reports:
"This year my pumpkin split open and rotted about four weeks ago, so I don't have one."
His advice for pumpkins growers is "to keep in mind when growing, there's always next year," he said.
Farmer John Muller swears by his "hand of five" when it comes to growing great pumpkins: "seeds, location, skill, weather, and luck," he said.
It's that combination that Muller hopes will win him the prize for most beautiful pumpkin this year.
"There's stiff competition this year," he said. "I heard there's some really good looking pumpkins coming in from Portola Valley."
He's hopeful his prized pumpkin will be a showstopper and is excited to unveil it on Monday. Right now it's in hiding under a San Francisco World Series Giants blanket.
"I can't tell you too much more about it or I'll give away the surprise but let's say we should call it the World Series of Giant(s) Pumpkin."
The best-looking pumpkin will win a $500 prize and will be awarded as the "most beautiful pumpkin" judged by the audience based on color, shape and size.
For the biggest pumpkin, event organizers are offering for the first time a $25,000 mega-prize for the world's first 1-ton pumpkin or $10,000 for a new world record at Half Moon Bay — considered the "Super Bowl of Weigh-Offs."
Veteran growers will be contending for the coveted title, the $25,000 1-ton/world record prize and thousands of dollars in additional prize money. In a unique pay-by-the-pound system, the winner will take home $6 per pound for the champion mega-pumpkin.
To receive the $25,000 1-ton/world record prize or $10,000 world record prize, the grower must break and hold the 1-ton record and/or world record at the conclusion of the Half Moon Bay weigh-off. If two or more growers happen to break the 1-ton mark and/or world record at Half Moon Bay, the prize money would go to the grower of the heaviest pumpkin.
The current world record is 1,818.5-pounds, grown by Jim & Kelsey Bryson and set at the Prince Edward County Pumpkinfest in Wellington, Ontario Canada in October 2011.
Defending champion Leonardo Urena of Napa, CA, won the competition at last year's Half Moon Bay weigh-off with his titanic 1,704-pound Atlantic Giant that set a new California record.
The champion pumpkin, along with the top five pumpkins overall, will be on display at the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival on October 13-14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information on the weigh-off and festival, call 650-726-9652 or visit www.miramarevents.com

Q: Will PC Study Bible work on a netbook computer?
A: Yes, if the netbook computer meets the system requirements for your version of PC Study Bible. Another name for a netbook is UMPC (Ultra Mobile Portable Computer).
Q: My netbook computer does not have a CD/DVD drive. How do I install PC Study Bible?
A: Installing software that comes on CD/DVD to a netbook computer which doesn't have a CD/DVD drive requires a certain level of technical expertise. If you don't understand these instructions, or your discs (CDs/DVDs) do not meet the requirements listed below, you'll need to buy or borrow an external CD/DVD drive in order to install your PC Study Bible to your netbook.
This approach works for discs as long as each install needs only the disc it starts from. In other words, this approach will *not* work for any Biblesoft product which is delivered on a *set* of CDs, e.g. the Professional Reference Library Upgrade can come as a set: CD1, CD2, CD3, and CD4. During the install of this library, at the end of CD1, it asks for CD2, and so on. If you have one of these CD sets, you may be able to purchase an equivalent DVD. Contact our Customer Service department at 206-824-8360 (toll-free: 866-722-4253). Our associates are ready to help you from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Pacific time, Monday through Friday.
Assuming your set of discs meets the requirements above...
Using a computer with a CD/DVD drive, copy each disc to its own folder on an external hard drive (or a flash/thumb drive). In other words, if you have 5 Biblesoft discs, you'll end up with 5 folders added to the external drive.
Now connect the external drive to the netbook. Use My Computer to open that external drive. In the same order that you would install the actual discs, open each folder you created on the external drive and double-click the file SETUP.EXE to run the install for that folder.
Once you have finished all of these installs, and your PC Study Bible works, you can delete the disc folders from the external drive.

10% ABV 750ml bottle split with JLindros and Rudzud.
A: Pours into a Treehouse tulip a reddish brown, dark rusty hue with a minimal but head that dissipates quickly. Limited legs, no lacing.
S: Very odd smell on this one. Notes of ketchup, apples and bbq sauce. Very smoky molasses like. Not even a hint of funk from the brett.
T: At first the taste is fairly pleasant. Very nice apple, hickory, bbq like glaze followed by a just awful aftertaste. Very oddly bitter, slightly metallic, just off flavors that ruin an otherwise interesting and acceptable taste at the forefront.
M: Almost syrupy, very light carbonation.
O: This wasn't at all what I was expecting. When I see anything that says 100% Brett my eyes go wide but there wasn't really even a hint of Brett, unless you consider the extremely odd/off aftertaste. It's too bad too because this starts off really nice. Not at all the type of beer that I would want to drink again but was fun once. The lack of Brett/good Brett flavors combined with almost no carbonation and apple cider, molasses bbq sauce flavor would really hinder me from wanting to try this again. Definitely wouldn't purchase if given the opportunity.

Nose is weird, sweet brown sugar, molasses, caramel, but soy sauce like bbq sauce thing, vegetal, vinegar, ketchup, decent Smokey aroma, some apple smoked apple.
Taste starts with some baking spices, more sweetness, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, etc. With more apple, smoked apple, bbq sauce, hint vinegar and Hint of ketchup. Into rich of smoke. Finish is bitter and icky, little soy sauce and bbq ketchup, touch of a mineral like metallic note. Sticky and little syrupy.
Mouth is med bod, little heavier bod, decent carb, little syrupy sticky.
Overall eh, not as bad as I expected, but still meh.

Shared with JLindros and Threelions.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a crystal clear darker than rust hue with a quarter inch head that faded to leave a creamy halo and light wisps.
S - Aromas of caramel, malt sweetness, spices, vanilla, vegetative notes. No brett, not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
T - Taste is similar to the nose, molasses, apples, vegetative, caramel, an almost Bbq sauce. The more I drink it the less I like it, very poor aftertaste. Without the aftertaste this beer wasn't half bad.
M - Mouthfeel is a bit heavy and syrupy.
O - Overall this beer was not half bad, until I got to the aftertaste. A shame, still, a fun old beer to try.

Sampled March 2012
A steady pour into my Lost Abbey Teku glass produces a one finger thick, amber tinged, tan colored head. The beer is a rich, concentrated, but definitely amber color that shows an almost brilliantly clear, pale, cranberry-juice color with gold highlights when held up directly to the light. The aroma smells of cinnamon, brown sugar, graham crackers, sweet ginger, and an interesting fruity base that has touches of lemon, perhaps touches of melon, but really I can't help but think of fresh out of the oven rich, red, brown sugar sweetened, sweet potatoes. There is a hint of medicinal character here, and perhaps some mustiness; the former is brought out by the spices, but like the latter, it is also likely here due to the Brettanomyces. The Brett character is fairly subtle in the nose overall though.
This has a nice prickly carbonation, which couples well with the light sweetness, and medium, somewhat viscous body. The spices contribute a bite to the finish that is a bit woody, and seems like nutmeg and perhaps a touch of allspice like character. There is a ginger bite to this beer as well, though this is not overly aggressive. The spices do somehow contribute an almost dusty (perhaps saw-dusty?), woody note in the flavor. There is a soft tartness to this beer, that while subtle, couples quite well with the sweetness. The sweetness here is brought out by the spices (cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg predominantly), but really reminds me of sweet potato pie; there is a sort of earthiness, not quite fruitiness. Ah, I just realized, some of the woody notes in the finish are contributed by the maple, which definitely contributes to the flavor here. A touch of Brettanomyces phenolics perhaps boost the woody notes and adds a touch of medicinal character and mustiness towards the finish; all in all though, I would be hard pressed to guess that this was 100% Brett fermented, there is that touch of tartness, but the funkiness is actually quite subtle. The malt character plays a pretty prominent role here, but there are so many other things going on that it is easy to over-look; flavors of brown-sugar coated sweet breads, graham crackers, English biscuit notes, and a chewy, whole grain character all are quite noticeable once you pay attention to them.
Quite tasty, despite the Brett character being quite subtle here, I am really enjoying this beer; I like the touch of tartness, and the subtle hint of funk that is brought to this "holiday-inspired" base beer. I also like that the spice character, while playing a prominent role here, does not overwhelm the other flavors.

Served in a tumbler.
Mixing a sweet and spiced drink with the relative wild card of Brett? I'm down if you are. This stuff pours a lightly hazy sunrise auburn topped by a short finger of khaki foam. The nose comprises maple syrup, caramel, light biscuit, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, allspice, and a touch of funky fruit in the background. The taste brings in more of the same, with the usual sweet and spicy Autumn Maple goodness up front and the new orange-y fruit of the Brett bringing up the rear, along with a tiny hint of cedar. The body is a solid medium, with a rather light moderate carbonation and a smooth, nearly slick feel. Overall, an interesting take on Autumn Maple, one that shows that Brett use doesn't immediately equate to high levels of funk and whatnot. I still prefer the usual version, but I enjoyed this one nonetheless.

City's Patton named Outstanding CPA in Government
Joyce Patton, an auditor for the City of Kansas City, Mo., received the 2010 Outstanding CPA in Government Award from the Missouri Society of Certified Public Accountants. She was presented this honor at a ceremony on Nov. 4 at Arrowhead Stadium.

"Her accounting knowledge and ability to extract and compile information from the City's financial management system is a vital resource for our completing audits that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of City operations," said City Auditor Gary White.
Patton has been an active member of the MSCPA Governmental Accounting committee since 1998.
"Her ability to get the job done coupled with her experience, work ethic and intellect is truly an inspiration for all CPAs," said James Cali, CPA, chair of the MSCPA Governmental Accounting committee.

We knew the ports are not the prettiest of ports but we went to relax and have fun and we soo did! We never left the ship once but others that did had a fab time and would defo reccomened all trips.
The meridian never let us down at all, many waiters remembered us. The lido restaurant serves some delish food all day and night.
Yes she still has a slight murmor/vibration onboard, nothing drastic thou and she still hasnt got that glitz and glam of a huge ship BUT she sure makes up for it. She s defo one of our fav ships. Captain John knows how to get the best from his crew.
Remember Sharm airport is mental, nothing to do with the ship or thomsons, it is egypt. Think we will return next year as its such good value for money

Now let me tell you about my room, I booked a window so wasn't expecting much, turns out I was in a whole new group of rooms that had just been put in several months before during her last renovation. We had a beautiful room with a full floor to ceiling window with a love seat right next to it, so we were able to watch the beautiful Alaskan serenity right from our cozy warm room. I love the fact that Celebrity gives you little of bottles of shampoo and cream rise rather than mystery liquid found in the dispensers in the showers of most other lines. Our bathroom was the largest and nicest I have ever had on any line.
We booked this cruise late so we were unable to have the earlier dinning, so I found myself falling asleep during dessert every night. Many shows were only available to us at 10:30p which turned out to be way too late for me. I missed out on a lot having the late dinning, next time I will just skip dinner if I can not get early dinning. Food was good, I am a caterer so I tend to critique everything they do as far as food, so let's just leave it at good. One thing I must comment on is my waiter did not speak good enough English as every night that I ate beef I would say rare and he would say well, and I would say rare and would end up with well!!! We munched a little at the buffets but as far as meals go, I prefer the dinning room, lunches were just okay in the dinning room as well as the breakfast. One thing I found as I have become a much healthier eater that you will be very limited food wise if you do not plan on eating a lot of carbs, thank goodness for their healthy little cafe at the indoor pool, ate several very good meals there. Funny side note about that Cafe, I had not seen one berry on the ship until I ate there, that's where the strawberries and raspberries are to be found... We had our famous Celebrity Brunch on Wed. and it was beautiful always a favorite.
Ports of Call...Expect to drop a lot of cash if you wish to do anything exciting. Since this was our first trip we did what we always tend to do first time visiting a location and that was the sightseeing excursions we did the package deal for like $145.00 pp for all three Alaskan Ports which was a nice way to see things without spending a lot of money.
Highlight of the trip was being invited to dine at the Captain's table on the last night. That sorta thing does just not happen to us normally, they really made us feel special and even gave me a rose at the end of the evening.
Disembarkment was very smooth we were able to stay in our cabin until our meeting time of 9:30a when we just walked off the ship with our little bag we had carried on (being used to traveling in Europe we know how to pack).
It's been almost a week since we left the ship, found myself feeling a little down until I picked up the phone and booked my next cruise. Happy Sailings

There used to be bike lanes on Calderon. I was on the city's Pedestrian-Bicycle Committee when the council decided to remove them. We fought it but were unsuccessful. Now the city is considering $340,000 to put them back.

The "bike boulevard" portion that runs down Central Avenue and Stierlin Rd. between Moffett boulevard and Shoreline is one of the most dangerous.
Central Ave. is a direct route for bikers to and from the creek trail, but many cars and trucks also use this section to get between Moffett and Shoreline. It's too narrow for bike lanes unless street parking is eliminated in that area.
It would be an ideal section for those cul-de-sac barriers if it weren't for the fact that fire trucks and emerg. vehicles from the downtown station also travel this route often. If it's sufficient for them to use Middlefield Rd. instead, then I say block it, or at least add speed bumps to slow the occasional speeder I see blast through there.

The Family of Winnfred Wright
A Dead Baby
Late one night in November 2001, a group of women strolled into the emergency room of
The child had stopped breathing, they told ER personnel, and their attempts to revive him by giving him warm baths and CPR had failed. The boy had severely bowed frog legs and a grotesquely bloated stomach, and doctors were astonished to learn that the child, who had the body of a 5-month-old infant, was actually 19 months old.
When the attending doctor learned which of the four women was the mother and told her it was too late to revive her son, she was oddly indifferent, as were her companions. There was no crying or screaming or outward sign of grief; they just wanted to know if they could go home.
An autopsy revealed that the bones of the boy, Ndigo Wright, were broken in dozens of places due to a calcium deficiency, and that he suffered from rickets, a Victorian-era disease caused by lack of vitamins that has been all but eradicated in the
The boy, the doctor determined, had starved to death. He quickly phoned the sheriff

Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.

Jet Set Print Tunic 13 13
Beautiful - Just not for me I have at least six Jet Set tunics in solid colors and two in prints along with enough Jet Set slim pants to go with each tunic. I ordered the kaleidoscope tunic in a medium (I'm an 8 usually) and it was way too big. I exchanged it for a small and found that it was close fitting across the chest and upper arm area. Even though I bought it on sale, it is too expensive for me to keep without loving the way it fit. That said, I love the print which goes well with the black and the sand colored Jet Set pants, and looked great with my white jeans. I also love the scoop neck and the sleeves that were actually a great length for my long arms. This is one top I am sad to be returning as I am a big fan of Jet Set clothes. Even though I have noticed that there is some inconsistency in the sizing since I have sometimes had to exchange smalls for mediums and vice-versa, the overall quality and TravelSmith's great exchange policy keep me coming back for clothing from this line. March 29, 2014
Did not like fabric This is a beautiful tunic, I loved the colors and fit but the fabric is very heavy for a knit and it felt like plastic to me. sadly it had to go back. August 21, 2014
Pretty but not for me Pretty colors, but a little overwhelming for my 5 foot 3" frame. The fabric was of medium weight and would be hot for an East coast summer. July 29, 2014
Absolutely Non Wrinkling Fabric If you travel this is the type of garment to wear. I have a pants suit in this same fabric from travel Smith, wore it for 18 hours during travel time, airport time and more travel time before I could change. Not only didn't it wrinkle but it was so comfortable it was wonderful. I looked as fresh after that time as I did when I first put it on. This tunic is going on another long trip as well as the pants suit I previously bought. May 3, 2014
Check the color I really liked this tunic when I saw it online and couldn't wait for it to arrive. However the color online and the color "live" were not a perfect match. What appeared on my computer to be red, looked salmon-y in person and that is not a good color for me, so reluctantly I returned it...because I loved the fit, etc. It would be helpful if the description for the item included something concrete about the color for other buyers. April 28, 2014
Great for cruisng/traveling/going out to dinner This was my second purchase from Travel Smith - a little unsure as to their sizing because the first item was a sleeveless sundress that seemed much too large; I utilized the 'free exchange' and ordered this tunic top in XL..I'm 5'4" but didn't order petite - I wanted the top to cover my generous hips..... I like the look and feel of the top - it's not thin or clingy but I wouldn't describe it as 'crepe-like material; it's a solid smooth knit - the colors are bright but not gaudy....it will go well with either white jeans or black slacks.....in sum, I am happy with my purchase. March 31, 2014
I returned this You wanted a review of a product I returned??? Okay, since you asked......the material was not quality material, the size was funky....too tight in the butt and too big in the waist. I really disliked this top, It was longer than most dresses I wear! So, that is the review of the top I returned. Now I just want the credit applied. Thanks so much! April 17, 2014
Much Nicer in Person The print is much nicer in person than the photos online. I like that the print isn't too busy and the colors are versatile enough to go with several colors of pants I already own (black, beige, white). I thought the fit was just right and the drape was such that it disguises figure flaws at the hip area. It also washes up well like all Jet Set pieces do and doesn't wrinkle. April 2, 2014

text: Motivation/Relationship Problems Team Conflict [2] Common Causes of Conflict EXAMPLE: Differences in Values and Beliefs One day in 1983, a young worker and an older worker were discussing the state of the country's economy over lunch. The subject turned to automobile production, and the young worker stated that he had just bought an automobile manufactured in Japan. He said that the quality of Japanese cars was far higher than that of American cars, and proceeded to quote some data to prove it. The older worker was visibly angered by this and began to defend American cars and the need to "Buy American." He argued that to buy foreign cars was anti-American, and, "besides, Americans always made good products." They continued arguing until the older worker couldn't take the discussion any longer. His hand was shaking as he said "Look, I lived through World War II, and I would never buy anything made in Japan!" The young worker, however, didn't pick up on the signal and continued citing facts that supported his argument. The discussion led to some hard feelings between the two, and it was some time before they could resume their relationship. What the young worker failed to recognize was that there were significant events (perhaps the bombing of Pearl Harbor) that had shaped the older worker's values and beliefs. The older worker wasn't hearing the young worker's argument because he was filtering the entire conversation through his "anti-Japanese" filter. Finally, this deeply held belief erupted in an emotional outburst and the beginning of a conflict.

Why didn't Palo Alto decide to pay $10k or $100k per month for the service?
Don't forget, they paid $500,000.00 for a website. Hello!?!?!?!?

Why didn't PA decide to pay that amount Joanna? Why then you would have actually been justified in making a sarcastic statement. Remember, if all you spew is negative, people just stop listening.

Having seen one too many mini crime waves associated with construction work in different neighborhoods (not unique to Palo Alto), I wish workers had to register in a system that was easy to compare to the above...
on Feb 14, 2008 at 8:31 am
I am publicizing facts that are being suppressed. We don't read too many stories about public spending largess.
Anyway, spew yourself, and let others hear about what was done with their money.

Joanna. And also realize and acknowledge how fortunate we are to live in such a fine city. Not a sign of suppression, just fairness, balance, and gratitude. Try it sometime. It might look better on you.

We're learning much more information about the death of a woman whose body was found on a Cumberland County road.
Police are trying to determine what New Jersey Transit may have had to do with the incident.
According to police, it was about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when they got the call that somebody found the woman dead on McCormick Place, between Orange and Bank streets in Bridgeton. SkyFOX flew over the scene in Bridgeton later in the night as police investigated at the scene.
On Thursday morning, police identified the victim as Bernadette Montgomery, 54, of New Castle, Del.
Police say she was about 30 feet from the bus stop when she was hit. It is unclear if she was hit by a bus or another vehicle, but police confirm that they have interviewed two New Jersey Transit bus drivers, who were working that route during the time of the accident.
The woman had no ID on her, which is why it has taken police a little while to identify who she was.
So, was this person hit getting on or off the bus by another vehicle or by the bus? The exact chain of events remains unclear.
"Through the investigation last night, we were able to
utilize items that were found on the victim's body, in particular her cell
phone, and were able to identify her," Police Capt. Michael Gaimari said.
"We still don't know what happened prior to. We don't know if the woman
was struck, if the woman fell, or if there was another contributing factor at
this point. It's all part of the investigation."
Gaimari added, "This happened at a very busy time of
the day at 6:30. It's a highly-traveled area. People may have seen, may have
observed something they really don't think it is important, but it may be
important to us. So, if they saw the woman there – she's an African-American
female, … she's 54-years-old, if anybody saw her or, obviously, saw what
happened, it is important that they step forward so we can clear the case up as
quickly as possible."
do have surveillance video from nearby businesses. However, they say the video
does not show the accident. It only shows the traffic and cars moving through
the area.
An autopsy to determine exactly how Montgomery died will be
performed later on Thursday.
FOX 29's Stacey Stauffer reported the latest details Thursday morning from Bridgeton police headquarters.

What behaviors are key to success in college?
12 Answers | Add Yours
The most important behavior is disciplined study. Any college student (except for those who are simply brilliant) must be dedicated to their studies before anything else. This is not to say that successful students will do nothing but study. But they must have the self-discipline to put off other things when it is important for them to study.
A closely related behavior is good time management. Successful students must budget their time so that they can have some amount of fun (so they don't simply burn out) while still being able to find the time to study to the amount that they need in order to do well in their classes.
I have to agree that taking one's studies seriously is of the utmost importance. In order to succeed in college, studies need to be the first priority. That being said, as pohnpei points out, do not burn yourself out. Take classes which are balanced, meaning do not take all very hard classes at the same time. Give yourself some breathing room. Once you reach your senior year, all of your classes will (most likely) be difficult. By this time though, you will have been able to learn how to study and succeed.
College life can offer so many distractions. It is usually a student's first time away from home, and the temptations that arise--such as socializing, drinking and romance--can conflict with the importance of studying and attending class. Be sure to prioritize your educational responsibilities and then use what little free time remains for extra-curricular activities.
I agree with all of the answers already posted. I would add that showing a real interest in one's studies while in the classroom is also important. Teachers want especially to help those students who seem to want genuinely constructive feedback and assistance. In other words, they especially want to help students who seem genuinely interested in learning. The best students are often the most humble, because they realize that we all have lots more to learn, no matter how much we may already know.
I think the most important behaviour, apart from disciplined study, is that of time management, and in particular the ability to balance the academic side of college with the social side. It is incredibly important to be able to prioritise your work but at the same time to make sure college is not all about hard study. Making time for leisure activities and friends alongside a disciplined and rigorous study schedule will be something that will guarantee you a great chance of success.
I tell my high school students (who happen to go to a high school that is not a college prep school) that they must realize that they will have to study in college. Many smart students, who graduate from a less rigorous high school, don't realize how challenging college will be. I also tell them that they will have to take notes. By this I mean that they must listen intently in class and write down the important things the professor says, eliminating superfluous info, stories, and examples.
If the class is a particularly challenging one, I suggest re-copying notes, either by hand or on a computer. The recopying process serves to increase understanding and retention. Then when the time comes to study, just read over your copied notes.
While studying I suggest highlighting words or phrases in your notes that you will need to know. Glance through each page of notes until you get to a highlighted phrase. Then put the notes down, and try to remember what the highlighted phrase is about. Finally check yourself by using your notes.
Time management is number one I would say. It is such an essential skill and one that many do not learn until even after college (I'm guilty of this). Doing work on time until waiting for the last minute is such a simple concept that some people just don't grasp. Another one, which would also seem simple, is attending class. When many students go to college, it's the first time in their lives when they aren't held accountable- especially at a large college or university. It's easy to become anonymous in a classroom and only attend when one feels like it. I think just attending class and really paying attention can have a huge impact. Again, a simple concept that people tend not to make a priority.
Another behavior that essential to success in college is having a strong sense of self. As others have noted, there are many distractions in college life, but if a person knows themselves, they can stay true to themselves and make the most positive experience possible. This covers many aspects of a person: morals, intelligence (or weaknesses here), interests, goals, etc. College is a time when there are many positive and negative "role models" around, and successful students find positive role models and stay true to their best selves.
In order to be successful in college you must realize one thing: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE. That means self discipline, time management, and organization are tools that you must use every day. You can't do what other students around you are doing, you have to be responsible for yourself.
You also have to realize that college is very different from high school, and it's your job to figure out what you need to learn and how long it will take to learn it. You need to read through every class syllabus, make a calendar and note when papers are due and when exams will be held, make a plan for success, and stick to your plan.
As someone in their second year of college, I can truly say that college is a different experience than it is in high school. In college you're at school for a shorter time, but they teach information at a quicker pace than what you're maybe used to. Also, don't expect teachers to spoon-feed you the information. If you're having trouble, you are expected to read from the book and take notes or confide with your teacher during their office hours. Make sure you never fall back with studying or learning because it will affect you greatly.
I am about to enter college this year and so I can tell you what others have told me. Stay organized and stick with your plans. Prioritize academics over social life but don't become a recluse. Seek out student organizations and homework / study groups. Lastly, don't expect the stellar grades you got in high school.
Have a set study time and remove all distractions away from you. Make sure you can study and pay attention without having to deal with text messages popping up every 5 seconds. The best way is to simply make a study plan and stick with it.

The economic recovery may finally be gathering some steam in the OECD area, but the world economy is still not firing on all cylinders. High unemployment and widespread underemployment hold back demand, and investment and international trade are sluggish, while credit to the private sector remains tight in several countries. Though growth in China may be holding up, it is below trend in some large emerging economies, such as Brazil and India.

What a year we just went through concerning digital freedoms. After starting so sadly with the tragic death of a young digital polymath, 2013 saw the rise of a sequence of other heroic figures who risked their lives to defend our rights.
Aaron Swartz's suicide shook up the whole community. It awakened the feeling that we could no longer remain passive in the face of growing abuse by governments and big industries. It seemed each week was marked by travesties perpetrated either in the name of security or of "intellectual property" -- two of the most formidable obstacles to liberty in this early 21st century.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Patent trolls, tread carefully in 2014. | Track the latest trends in open source with InfoWorld's Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
In June, the Snowden affair marked a turning point in digital rights. It created a sudden awareness that the World Wide Web we evolve in is aptly named and could easily become an imprisoning cocoon.
Aldous Huxley warned us of this as long ago as 1931 in his novel "Brave New World":
The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping; a system of slavery where, through entertainment and consumption, the slaves would love their servitude.
Such a system can succeed only when those enveloped in it remain unaware of its machinations. I believe the transparency of open source can play a key role in revealing how these manipulations occur.
"Software freedom" per se may not be a human right, but when it is absent it is far easier to abridge our rights.

The 2012 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure brought an incredible number of people out in the cold, dark, early-morning hours Saturday.
17,000 people showed up at Marshall Park to help find a cure for breast cancer. WBTV was there too, with two teams - Boob Tube Team John and Boob Tube Team Molly.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer rates vary depending on many factors. According to the Komen website, it is estimated there will be 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer among U.S. women this year.
Also this year, it is estimated there will be 63,300 new cases of situ breast cancer among U.S. women. This number includes DCIS (a non-invasive breast cancer) and LCIS (a condition that increases the risk of invasive breast cancer).
An estimated 39,510 U.S. women will lose the battle with breast cancer...that's just this year.
Breast cancer in men is not as common, but it does happen. An estimated 410 men will die of breast cancer in 2012, and 2,190 new cases are anticipated.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Peoria police suspect gang rivalry could be a motive for Thursday night's shooting at near the intersection of W. Grinnell Street and S. Folkers Street.
Police arrested a suspect Friday afternoon but because he is 16, his name is not being released.
Captain Mike Eddlemon said a group of teenagers was standing on the corner of Grinnell and Folkers when a blue car rolled up. He said a group of men got out. One of them approached a teen and asked if he belonged to a gang. He then pulled out a gun and shot the teen in the shoulder.
Eddlemon said another teen then ran away and was followed by the car. He says different car passenger approached another teenager, asking him if he belonged to the Bomb squad, then shot him in the chest.
"We'll have to speak to this guy and see what he says and give us a reason for what this is about," Eddlemon said. "Obviously we didn't get to speak at length to the two kids who were shot yesterday because they were shot. We still have a lot of work to do on this."
The two victims, ages 14 and 15, were taken to OSF St. Francis Medical Center.
Police are not releasing their names or conditions since both are juveniles.
