RALEIGH – What is old is new again in downtown Raleigh. Developers are renovating historic homes along Blount Street, and even in this struggling economy, people are buying them.
Blount Street is lined with historic homes. Naturally, some are in better condition than others.
"This was and is the grand street of Raleigh, the Blount street corridor. You have people interested in living, working, and playing here," said real estate broker for Blount Street Commons Peter Rumsey.
The Blount Street Commons revitalization project is making that not only possible, but desirable. Most of the houses started out looking neglected and worn down after the state used them as offices. But with a little vision, hard work, and money, they have now been restored to look more like their glory days.
The Lewis Smith house just sold to a real estate development company for more than $600,000 and the new owner is expected to spend at least another $300,000 to $400,000 in continued renovations. People who buy and renovate the historic homes are eligible for federal and state tax incentives.
But those $1 million price tags nearly stalled the revitalization project a few years ago.
"This project started almost exactly the same time the economy headed south. Consequently, it's proceeded more slowly, as most development has throughout the country," said Rumsey.
However historic homes was exactly what Gallery C owner Charlene Newsom was looking for when she wanted to move her art gallery from Ridgewood shopping center to something more elegant.
"We looked at everything from a high rise condo to other strip centers and then we felt this house was the answer. We enjoy greeting people and bringing them here as if they were coming into our home," said Newsom.
Newsom said she has also enjoyed seeing all the other renovations and new construction up and down the street. People who buy and renovate the historic homes are eligible for federal and state tax incentives. There is also new construction in the Blount Street Commons, including townhouses, row houses, and condos.

How do I get more app data storage?
Tuesday 22nd of May 2012
I thought the droid incredible was supposed to have 8gb or space for tons of apps at first because I only plan on filling my phone up with apps. Then I see that it only has like 700 for apps and 150 for the data. Then I bought a 16gb sd card and its useless! I still only have 700mb for apps and 150 for data. I move all my apps to sd card but my app data still fills up. How do I get more of that? My app data is now 32mb availiable which is really low. What is using my app data and is it possible to increase it to like 1gb?

Google Drive Developer features added, including app data folders
Friday 05th of April 2013
New Google Drive developer features have been announced on the Google Drive blog, allowing for the service to be used in a safer way by app developers.It seems Googles does not want Google Drive to be just a regular file storage service, and this is proven even more by the new developer features that were announced on the Drive blog. This comes after an earlier-announced feature that allows the hosting of simple websites. The first feature to be added, called app data folders, allows developers to store application data in Drive folders that only the app can access.That way, situations where the user accidentally deletes data (like configuration files, for example) and compromises the functioning of the app can be avoided. Users can see how much data the app is using, though.The second Google Drive developer feature that was announced also caters to developers. This involves the possibility for apps to add custom properties to Drive files, with said properties stored as key/value pairs on the file. That way, the app can create searchable fields, which can be available only to itself

Low on Space (Phone Memory, NOT application data storage)
Friday 18th of November 2011
I am doubtful anybody will have a solution, but here is the problem I am having. I used to occasionally get the "low space" error and I would move an app to the SD, or clear a cache, or uninstall an app I never used, and it would resolve itself.After getting the Gingerbread update on Monday and another software update on Tuesday, I started getting the error again, and was able to make it go away with the same actions listed above.Today, I am getting the error: "Phone storage is is getting low." I don't think this is talking about the "application data storage," because in the settings menu I see that I still have 46MB free out of the total 149MB available. The first couple of times I got the error, I would tap on the notification and it took me to a list of apps and it would show something like "250MB used, 498 free." That didn't seem low to me. Today, in the settings under phone memory it says total space 748MB, available space 0.00MB. When I tap on the low space notification, it is a little different, saying 741MB used, 7.4MB free. Those numb

Transferring app data
Sunday 30th of October 2011
The Galaxy Nexus is going to be my second Android phone, which means this is the first time I'll be faced with the task of transferring app data from my old phone to the new one. I'll reinstall most everything from the Market, but there are some cases where I'm going to want to preserve app data (I'd hate for all of that time spent on Angry Birds to go to waste). In the case of the GN, this is further complicated by the absence of a removable SD card slot. So I just wanted to make sure I know how this is going to work. Not that anybody knows for sure yet, but in theory. I assume the GN will have some part of its internal storage that acts like an SD card, meaning that it's accessible by non-root apps and writeable via USB. Assuming that's the case, I'm thinking all I'd need to do is copy my Titanium Backup folder from my old SD card to my computer, and then from the computer to the Nexus via USB. Then fire up Titanium Backup, and it should magically see all of the backup data; after that restoring should be the same as ever. Does that sound like a reasonable scenario? Or am I missing

applications - Low on internal data storage - looks like the some apps use a lot!
Wednesday 22nd of September 2010
So, looking at the Gmail, Twitter, and Facebook apps for example, the apps themselves only take up 3-4 MB each, but then the app data is like 10+ MB for each. Is that stored data the synced copies of my email inbox, or my twitter feed, or FB feed? And, if so, is there a way for me to limit how much of my phone's internal storage each app gets allocated?

Galaxy Note II MOD ExtSD2InternalSD Increase DATA storage!
Thursday 17th of January 2013
Being able to load app data from your external sdcard has been a necessary mod for a while. Older phones came with little to no internal storage so there was the need to store apps and app data to the external sdcard. Most newer phones come with plenty of internal storage but if you are an app hog or a heavy mobile gamer chances are you will run out of internal storage quick. This mod is for you. Developer "mattiadj" has developed a solution for the Galaxy Note 2! His mod will allow you to use your external SD card as internal storage! The installation is pretty simple you will install the mod during the Rom install process. Just flash Rom, flash kernel, then flash the mod. It's that simple!Via XDA

App Data on SD Card?
Tuesday 17th of January 2012
Hello, I got an HTC Wildfire S for Christmas. The one problem that plagues this phone is it's constant out of memory error. I have 10MB of internal storage left, and when I try to install a 768K app it tells me I don't have enough space. What? I have 10MB, that should be PLENTY of space for an app that small. Anyway, after installing several apps that I linked to my SD using Link2SD I realized that I got another 10MB back. I'm assuming that the App APK itself was the only thing on the SD card and all of the app data is what was stored on the phone. So, is there anyway I can make the SD card store the App AND the App Data? Thanks in advance.

Installing App data to sd.
Thursday 15th of September 2011
Is there a way to utilize the sd for apps and app data storage with root? Currently the sd card is pretty useless. Applications like Rhapsody can't download to anything but the 8 gig media partition. Then larger games, like Dungeon Hunter or Crusade of Destiny, have to install their rather large data packs to this same directory. Putting it on the sd renders the app useless. In the application settinhs you can only move to phone or move to media. Any help is appreciated.________________________________Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

Application Data Storage
Thursday 29th of December 2011
Got the low space warning for the first time. Cleared Gmail data and it went away. As a result, I've been digging into this issue. I've cleared all but 15 MB of the app caches. However, I'm still only left with 16 MB free in the Application data storage partition. I don't use the social apps (facebook, twitter, etc.) and I don't use the HTC mail app (only use the gmail app). My contacts are only taking up 2.45mb...what am I missing? What could possibly be using the remaining 134 MB?Also, am I correct that there is no way to root a 2.3.4 phone? I'd love to get access to the data/data directory to clear it out!

Stock Gallery App Data/Storage Waisting Space?
Monday 04th of November 2013
I've looked all over Google and Android Central but I can't find anything on this topic, so I apologize if this has already been addressed. I am using the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 with the stock Gallery app. My issue is with the app data in "My Applications". It's using over half a gig in app data! Why? The thumbnails are 243mb and I delete them constantly, and I store my pictures and videos on the SD card. What is the gallery storing that takes up over half a gigabyte?! It's not pictures or thumbnails... I can clear the app data but soon enough it comes back. I just disabled the app before making this post. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from using up that much space? Or do I have to stick to QuickPic now? Posted via Android Central App

Typical day for a Home Health nurse... - page 15

- 0May 19, '06 by vonsayGoodness! I cant wait until I get further in my studies so I can know what all these abbreviations mean! lol! I am so interested in all of this and because I am going into the LPN program I figured I get on this forum and learn something about HH (see I know that one!) since the field is supposedly so wide open for LPN's. I got a long way to go!!:spin:
- 0Jul 7, '06 by HappyJaxRNQuote from transducenNo way. I make more than most of the facility/hospital nurses around town. I work at a hospital too and the only reason why I make more at the hospital is because of shift differential. Most of the visits with my agency/HH are far MORE an hour than what I've seen hospital nurses get.Interesting. Hh Nurses Are Rumored To Make Less Than Most. Is This True?
- 0Aug 29, '06 by KRHiya. ICU RN here with 6+ years of experience. Looking for a change. Think that I am going to schedule a ride a long with one of the local HH agencies in the upcoming weeks. I really don't know a whole lot about HH. Most of what I know is from reading these posts on the HH forum. I am looking for a job where I can work straight evenings. For quality of life issues, I really need to find a 3p-11p job. I was wondering what questions I should ask my ride a long or interview person? What did you wish you had asked or do you reccomend asking? This is what I have come up with so far.
1- Is this job hourly or salary?
2- What do you consider full time?
3- Do you get paid per hour (regardless of if you are driving, doing paperwork, making phone calls, or seeing a pt.)?
4- Or do you get paid per visit?
5- Do you get a company car?
6- Do you get a company cell phone?
7- Do you get reimbursed 100% for gas and mileage and wear and tear on your car if you do not get a company car?
8- Do you have laptops or do you have to do the old fashioned paper charting?
9- What kind of orientation do you get?
10- What is the average daily/weekly mileage?
11- How many square miles, or counties, etc does this agency cover?
12- Know I need to ask questions on my personal safety but do not know how to work that ?
This is all that I can think of off the top of my head. Any input would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

I love the work , but the pay has actually decreased over the last 10 yrs ! I heard that LPN,s can contract with medicaid directly and skip the agency and get much better pay for a lot less "agency" hassle. Does anyone know how to do this ? shansky

Yeah, I'd like to know if that can be done (contract through medicaid and skip the agency). I've been doing this for a few years with the youngest being 18 months to an 89 year old. My pay has increased with each agency that I apply to. But I know that eventually I'll be at the cut off point where I can't demand more pay. That's why I'm looking into going back to school.
- 0Feb 7, '07 by questioningRN2007Hi,
I have been out of the nursing field for about a year. Before that I worked on a medical-surgical unit at a hospital for a little over a year. I absolutely hated it. Now I have the opportunity to do home health nursing. I have a job right now that I like; it's not as challenging as nursing and sometimes I miss nursing. The agency pay is good, I would be making about 38% more than my current job plus mileage and cell phone reimbursement. The biggest drawback to me is the on-call stuff. I would have to be on-call one night a week and one weekend a month, or maybe a little more. They also do rotating on-call for holidays. Is this on-call schedule normal?
Any advice would be appreciated!!!
- 0Feb 8, '07 by Ks mommy nurseHere I am again, I just posted raving about HH and now my patient got admitted to the hospital last night. I had to convince the parent to take her to see her doctor. The doc strongly suggested that she be admitted tonight. That's probably a down fall about HH., if your pt gets sick enough you don't get to work. I might find my usual fall back case, that always needs a nurse to do a shift til she goes home again. I'll be praying for my lil' precious patient to get well. I ask those who read this to do so as well. Thanks.
- 0Feb 26, '07 by teakaI have been in home health the last 7 years straight and about 12 years total. This seems like a pretty typical on-call schedule. On-call is one downside to HH. Plus, a lot of HH nurses I know sometimes finish their documentation at home, especially if paid by the visit. If you would be hourly then this may not be an issue for you. But, the benefits personally and professionally, in my opion, you will reap being a home health nurse usually out weigh the on-call.

Global Job Creation Set to Slow: ManPower
Job creation across the world is set to slow sharply in the last three months of the year, as companies plan to scale back their hiring plans in response to the stuttering global economy, according to a leading survey of employers.
The Employment Outlook survey, released on Tuesday by ManpowerGroup (MAN), the global recruiting company, will be unwelcome news for policymakers, who are struggling to bring down stubbornly high unemployment rates.
President Barack Obama last week outlined a $450 billion jobs plan, following an official report that showed the U.S. economy created no new jobs in August, and the jobless rate remains at 9.1%.
The ManpowerGroup report, which questioned 65,500 employers in 41 countries, suggests that while employers in most regions still plan to hire new workers in the fourth quarter, the already-sluggish pace of job growth will drop from the current quarter.The survey indicates that employers intend to cut the rate of hiring from the third quarter or keep it stable in 32 of the 39 countries for which there are comparable data. Employers in India and Turkey plan to reduce the pace of job-creation the most, but hiring is also expected to slow in a slew of the world's biggest economies, including the U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, China, Canada, Mexico and Australia. "The spark of optimism seen in the global labor market last quarter did not take hold, as employers in the majority of countries we research are now throttling their hiring needs," said Jeff Joerres, ManpowerGroup chief executive. "Companies across the world are now more agile and quick to adjust to macro threats and decreased demand in their own businesses, giving employers a hyperactive index finger when it comes to hitting the start/stop button on hiring," oerres added. ManpowerGroup attributed the fall in Indian companies' hiring plans to weaker U.S. demand, noting that the U.S. accounts for almost 60% of the revenue in the $60 billion Indian information technology industry. U.S. employers said they planned to slow the pace of hiring for the first time in more than two years. Companies in nearly half the sectors surveyed said they expected a "considerable decrease" in the rate of job growth. In China, the company said job prospects were likely to decline for the fourth consecutive quarter as employers, especially small businesses, continue to struggle with increasing labor costs.

Sunday, July 31, 2011, 11:15 AMAnd now...for your reading enjoyment...the time has come for the literary train wreck chock full of all the concert details you're aching to read...along with plenty of ridiculous foolishness that you'll wish you hadn't...
yes, it can only be one thing: the Armadillo Road Report, the Official UNOfficial Twisted Sister concert review of Kotka Finland, July 29, 2011.
oh my babies, where to begin, where to begin.... I suppose where we left off would be a good start. With the crew and band all arrived (except for Dee), we wined (well, I whined, no wine) and dined and retreated for some libations where we played a short and slightly morbid game of what will be engraved on Jay Jay's urn when he expires.... Jay's Jay's vote was for the European setlist, which at this point seems to be etched in stone...
we came up with the following:
Burn in Hell
The Fire Still Burns
Come Back
I Wanna Rot
We're Gonna Cremate It
Axes to Ashes (actually, that one's for Eddie's)
Under the Grave
Well, okay. You get the point. Feel free to start a thread on that one...yes, I know, it's macabe but kinda entertaining once you get rolling.
We were barely out of the gate on the way to Kotka when the heavens let loose and dumped sheets of rain on the caravan. (that's what you get for mocking death) The two-hour ride to Kotka took us through some beautiful countryside, rolling farmlands and striking forests, and we arrived at the port. Literally. It was the port of Kotka. You've heard the colloquial expression "take a long walk on a short pier?" Well, I found the short pier referenced--and at the end of said pier, was the venue!
The Kotka sea festival was basically a carnival on the dock, that I nicknamed "Wichita-by-the-sea" (go see the Wichita July 25, 2010 if you need a refresher) Although I must admit--it was carney Finland style--instead of corn dogs and funnel cakes, they had reindeer dogs, sushi and fresh fish. I was also impressed with the "hearing protection" vendor, who had a wide array of brightly colored ear plugs for sale and a very tasteful VIP tent with beer garden. Oh, by the way, Finland loves beer. A lot of beer. Apparently the words "Last call" do not exist here. They started drinking before breakfast--wait, actually, I think the beer WAS breakfast. Regardless, you had merry-go-rounds, bungee jumping off a pier crane.....and heavy metal. I suppose it works. A bit of spinal tap nevertheless.
The venue itself was a large airplane hanger frame with fabric tent walls, a proportionately smaller stage and these bizarre glowing chinese-inspired lanterns that I just KNEW Dee would make a comment regarding. Add to that an impressive sound system and lighting setup, with a small city of trailer dressing rooms...and a very large cargo crane...and there you have it.
After a quick stroll around to check out the tugboats and a navy vessel (thanks to the friendly sailor who saluted for our photo op!), we heard the opening act--a local Finnish band--take the main stage while the smaller stage one plane hangar over hosted various cookie monster metal bands.
I enjoyed the opening number of the opener--but they lost me after the first song. In contrast to the fickle American audiences, as soon as they hit their first chord, fans flooded into the area to give them an appreciative listening audience. It was about 6:30pm, and already a good portion of this crowd was what we American's call "three sheets to the wind." Uh, that is....really shit-faced drunk.
Now what Road Report would be complete without the almost obligatory Armadillo restroom critique? They were port-a-potties, yes, but these were Finnish port-a-potties. The difference? They had astro-turf liners and cup holders. You see? One more reason to love Finland. Get me some wi-fi in there and I'll start paying rent. Come for the astro-turfed toilets....stay for the heavy metal! I don't know why it was so enchanting, but I even enjoyed the soundcheck--"IPPS IPPS COX COX" (1...1....2....2....)
The next band up (I have GOT to go back and pull those names off the Kotka website) featured former members of Hanoi Rocks, playing with some local Finnish musicians. They were definitely getting some love from the small but loud (and did I mention drunk?) crowd. It was an interesting mix of heavy metal meets ska, and the younger set in the audience really grooved to it. At one point, the lead singer wrapped his face in a scarf and sang hooded--that was lost on me, and since I don't speak Finnish, I have no idea what the song was about. They played a ballad that musically, was painful, but it was obviously meaningful to their fans. Either way, I didn't care for it, personally, but the sound was excellently balanced.
Enjoyed a few songs more with a nice gent from the slamboard--Panu--thanks for stopping and saying hello! One more piece of evidence that the slamboard is full of good people++and the best fans in the world!
After they left the stage, I hear this loud "pop pop pop" and realize it's the sound of people stepping on plastic beer cups that now covered the floor....those imbibing were off to the beer tent for a refill. To my surprise, an expedient crew swoops in and the cups are gone to recycling in a flash. Won't see that at a US Festival--shit, I think there are still plastic cups on the ground from last year's Preakness.
Hardcore Superstar was next up, and they truly did not disappoint me. They came onstage to Van Halen's "Dance the Night Away", immediately received adulation from the crowd...tossed beers into the audience...(like we needed them??!?) and played with high energy. Great rock and roll--and a real crowd pleaser--I think I counted more Hardcore Superstar shirts than Twisted. For their final number, "Last Call for Alcohol" (what else?), they brought two fans up onstage to sing it with them--I really appreciate these types of gestures, and they are a fine group of gentlemen as well as talented, hard-rocking musicians. I would have preferred less bass--there was a lot of bass reverb and I found it distracting.
By this point, I saw a few folks running for the exit. There are two things that make one run for the exit like that--really bad heavy metal....and really bad-ass heavy metal....given that the one fellow was wearing a Spice Girls tee-shirt, it's safe to assume it was the bad-ass metal having him run for the door.
Our hard-working road crew treated us to a quick "Cat Scratch Fever" during the sound check, and due to a few technical glitches, the band took the stage 5 minutes late.
So.....we had some really good things last night and a few not-so-good things.
The good first:
The guitar work was excellent--very tightly played solos--excellent duos--perfect balance of bass and guitars. Eddie truly nailed down the "Kids Are Back" and Jay Jay's solo during "Stay Hungry" was absolutely screaming.
The not-so-good?
Dee arrived literally hours before the show from his international flight--I know EXACTLY how exhausted he must have felt, and to see him performing with his usual high energy was absolutely phenomenal.....however....jetlag took it's toll. We had a LOT of lyric boo-boos--don't get me wrong, Dee sang every line of every song....just not in order. Did the fans care? Of course not. Did I care? Not really--I thoroughly enjoyed his usual assortment of one-liner Dee-isms.
He greeted the audience with "'Wank You! ooo...I meant 'Thank You!' sorry...it's the jet lag!" And then a particularly funny moment of TMI--Dee explained he needed to pause to adjust his ballsac (shit, there goes my pulitizer) because it felt a little "fringy." Just see the photos--you'll understand.
He asked the audience: "Are there any SMFs out there? By the end of the show.... it will be ALL SMFs out there..." and I do believe that prophecy was fulfilled. When a group straggled in late, he called them out: "Where the fuck were you? We've been playing for 45 minutes? Probably were on the ferris wheel." I can tell you where they were, Dee, it's called the BEER GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL! And predictably--Dee DID comment on those weird lanterns--"What the fuck is this? A rave? A fuckin' disco?" I shoulda bet money on that.
"You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll" damn near blew the fabric off the tent frame--I found Eddie's solo absolutely blistering--his "Price" solo was particularly good--much better than what I heard in Athens.
And while the lyrics went south on "Under the Blade", there was a very nice "duet" moment between Jay Jay and Dee that I hope someone took a snapshot of. The crowd was rocking all the way to the end of the pier, and the floor was going nuts!
"Shoot 'em Down" was dedicated to all of the assholes in the world (nee: politicians)....and speaking of assholes....I met the monarch of all assholes, the twatwaffle king, yes.... say it with me, you know what's coming: DOUCHE BAG. There's always one....and goddammit if there isn't a douchebag magnet where I stand. This one takes the cake.
Everyone was rocking out, enjoying themselves, when suddenly, there's someone keeping time on the top of my head. That's right, he's drumming on my head. You know, I've had people use the top of my head as a beer coaster....an armrest....and even a good luck charm...but this was too much. When a few not-so-subtle hints failed to get him to stop, I got my point across a bit more directly. Next thing I know, DB's elbow is digging into my shoulder, his hairy forearm is now pressed against my cheek, and repeated attempts to remove it simply resulted in it re-appearing on the other side.
I swear to you, his nuts were almost up my ass-crack--I'm sorry, I know it's too much information, but if I have to get violated in the front row for 90 minutes to bring you the best road report possible, you can stand to read about it for five....no, really. It's cathartic for to get this out. I finally decided for something more his speed--I found his foot, and proceeded to apply my weight to his toenail, and explained to him that I would remove my foot when he removes his fist from the side of my head. Kudos to the excellent security guard, who intervened at least four times, and made him cease and desist. Okay...everyone on the count of three....one............two..............three..........
Dee gave props to Hardcore Superstar, Lordi and Michael Monroe--and let us into a rousing "I Wanna Fuck!" The band gave the crowd a round of applause, in appreciation for their volume! It was time to rock, and so Dee gave the crowd a chance to rock. First "rock"...it was...okay...as Dee said, "you weren't ready...here's we'll try again..." Second "rock" was better....then, Finland voted, and surprise, surprise! They want to fuck more than they want to rock as well. Best Deeism of the night, "Do you want to fuck?!!? No, no....not you, sir..."
bml oivnbjvhctgcg6vmli bvtrch6g5
Whoops--sorry folks---that consonant interlude was brought to you by Mark "the Animal" Mendoza, who just demonstrated his bass playing techinques on my netbook...
Twisted had to cut the setlist short, and so while we had "Whole Lotta Rosie" we didn't have "Come Out and Play." If they had been the headliner, it may have been different, but they had to give proper respect--rock icon Michael Monroe took the stage next.
Just a few quick words on Michael Monroe--that man can still kick some serious ass! His set was absolutely fantastic, and I was amazed at his high energy and vibrancy--the man did a split! Seriously--a split! "Sex, Drugs & Rock n' roll" brought the place to a frenzy. (okay, so he had a little issue getting back up, but a rock split at his mileage? Impressive. He is a really nice chap as well, and a man of class. Very approachable and soft spoken, completely different from his onstage personna, like so many other rockers. (He makes this one face when he's onstage--these scary eyes--my maine coon makes that same face when he sees a moth!)
Amazing to see such rock royalty sharing the bill with Twisted.
On the ride back to Helsinki, it looked like a zombie movie as the hoards of drunken Finns made their way back through town. In a bizarre moment, "Long Way to the Top" came over the radio as we drove through the still light rural countryside. We rolled back to the hotel around 4:30 AM, caught a few moments of conversation with Eddie outside the hotel around 5:00 AM, and now I'm off for 2 hours of sleep, as Oulu awaits!
Sleep tight, my babies, for tomorrow....we rock again!
This is Armadillo....trotting off to change socks and grab a catnap...

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
This is just a sign the government psyops are getting steadily more sophisticated. This is probably in response to the "We don't believe anything you say any more" from the public to the authorities.
If they can "debunk" all and any conspiracy theorists, they also discredit the ones that are right on the money too....!
Quite a sophisticated trap for them to set, don't you think?
Btw, the link to that reveals Anderson Coopers CIA secret - weakest excuse I've ever heard for denying your link with the CIA. Much more likely is if a person denies they work for a security agency, they are simply an inbedded agent. Those that go around stating loudly and clearly that they are agents or former agents are probably for one purpose only - disinformation. Well, it seems logical to me.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- This is a shortened trading week with the stock and bond markets closed on Christmas Day.
However, there are some interesting government economic reports being released ahead of the holiday.
Today, the National Association of Realtors will report on how many existing homes were sold in November.
On Tuesday, the government will report on last month's new home sales, as well as November's durable goods numbers and personal income and spending for November. It will also report the third-quarter gross domestic product
This week, the government will be releasing last week's jobless claims number a day early, on Christmas Eve. Also on Wednesday, Freddie Mac will report this week's mortgage rates.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- South Korea has lowered its growth forecast for next weak citing the persistently weak sentiment among consumers and businesses.
The finance ministry said Monday that Asia's fourth-largest economy will expand 3.8 percent in 2015. Six months ago, it forecast 4.0 percent growth.
The downward revision, representing some improvement from 3.4 percent growth this year, shows the government's challenge in encouraging consumers to spend more and businesses to boost investment despite its expansionary policies and the central bank's two rate cuts this year.
Director-General Lee Chanwoo said the recovery in consumer spending and capital expenditure remains weaker than expected in the last two months.
Lee said consumers and businesses still have great uncertainties about next year and the last quarter's improvement in the economy stemmed mostly from the government policies.
BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) -- The Washington state-based grocery chain Haggen Inc. plans to buy 146 Albertsons and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona.
The Bellingham Herald reports the sales are required under the federal review of Safeway's sale to an investment group that owns Albertsons.
If Haggen's plans announced Friday get Federal Trade Commission approval, the Bellingham-based company would expand from 18 stores and 16 pharmacies in the Northwest to 164 stores and 106 pharmacies in the five states.
Details of the deal haven't been released.
This is the largest of several sales related to the $7.6 billion sale of Safeway to investors led by Cerberus Capital Management. Associated Food Stores is buying eight stores in Montana and Wyoming, Associated Wholesale Grocers is purchasing 12 stores in Texas, and Supervalu is buying two Albertsons stores in Everett and Woodinville, Washington.
CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) -- The average price of regular gasoline nationwide has dropped another 25 cents a gallon in the past two weeks, to $2.47.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday that prices will likely keep falling.
Lundberg says the average price of regular gasoline is the lowest it's been in more than five years.
She says lower crude oil prices are driving prices down, along with an abundant oil supply and the rising value of the U.S. dollar.
The highest-priced gas in the Lower 48 states was found in Long Island, New York, at $2.82 a gallon. The lowest was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at $2.06 a gallon.
California's lowest average was in Sacramento, at $2.58 a gallon.
The average price for midgrade gas in the U.S. is $2.71. For premium it's $2.87.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Deaths and injuries at the nation's coal mines have been declining since a West Virginia underground mining disaster killed 29 workers less than five years ago.
Coal mines are on pace this year to set a new low mark in mining deaths. So far in 2014 there have been 15 coal mine-related deaths, and with less than a month left in the year, the number could stay below the record 18 set in 2009.
Federal mine safety officials say increased enforcement efforts since the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in 2010 have improved the safety at all the nation's mines. Assistant Labor Secretary Joe Main says officials focused on making coal mines safer after the West Virginia tragedy.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's oil chief is dismissing allegations that his kingdom conspired to bring down oil prices in order to harm other countries and told a summit of Arab energy leaders that he was confident the market would stabilize.
The kingdom, which is dependent on oil revenues, is able to weather lower oil prices due to large reserves built up over the years. Non-OPEC member Russia and other nations like Iraq, Iran and Venezuela need prices substantially above present levels to meet budget goals and want to drive prices up.
Saudi Arabia maintains it is opposed to cutting production because of fears its market share could erode.
The price of U.S. crude has dipped below $60 a barrel, its lowest in five years. Naimi said he was certain that the oil market would recover with the improvement of the global economy.
An OPEC meeting last month failed to agree on production cuts, mainly because of Saudi opposition to curb its own exports. OPEC controls about 40 percent of the world oil market and Saudi Arabia is the cartel's largest producer.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dish Network subscribers were unable to watch Fox News Channel and the Fox Business Network on Sunday when the channels were taken down as part of contract negotiations.
The Fox blackout is just the latest skirmish as cable and satellite TV providers fight with networks over subscription fees. Dish Network just settled disputes that led to the temporary blackout of some local CBS stations and a separate blackout related to Turner Broadcasting channels -- including Cartoon Network, CNN, Boomerang and Turner Classic Movies.
Dish has more than 14 million satellite TV customers.

Hear My Voice
Posted By Norm McNamara On November 28, 2011 @ 12:22 pm In Blogs | No Comments
Will someone please hear my voice?
I have dementia, though not by choice,
My days and nights pass me by,
Will someone out there hear my cry?
Inside this body, I'm still me,
Speak to me and you will see,
I have thoughts, I have a heart,
To listen to me, would be a start,
Yes it's true, I do forget,
The months, the days, the time that's set,
But if you listen, you will hear,
About my life, what I hold dear,
And I will tell you of my life,
That did not end with Dementia`s Strife,
I still have, so much to do,
Hear my voice, and you will too
Best wishes, Norrms and family

Travel agent scam lagos, nigeria
August 2009
question withdrawn, apologies for any inconvenience to any parties mentioned
August 2009
Has anyone heard of Mr. Taylor Brown a travel agent?
August 2009
To M: These all sound like real names, but then, we Nigerians have come to be known as the highest scammers in the world, no thanks to some few but wickedly tenacious internet fraudsters.
If you will volunteer more details of your transactions and maybe a phone number/address, i promise to take it upon myself to do some fact finding and get back to you. If need be I will personally involve the Police just so these black sheeps get punished for smearing us hardworking and honest citizens.
You may copy me whatever info at: travels at globalconquestng com
August 2009
To BEANGEL: Is Mr. Taylor Brown suppose to be a Nigerian as well?
The annoying thing about scammers out of africa is: they mostly assume nigerian citizenship whenever they want to carry out their nefarious activities.
I hope Mr. Brown has not scammed you though.
August 2009
Does anyone know of Salcon Travel Consultants or a Salami Babatunde, 1 Salcon Main Building, Magodo Estate in Lagos?
August 2009
To Pugg: As the trend nowadays seem to suggest being within a distance of a Nigerian means not far from being scammed it is unfortunate, while some are promoting a good image as best as they can some are hardcore hustlers with only money making schemes on their minds. Try
if want a professional, affordable, secure, quality and reliable taxi service especially if you are a foreigner. Take care.
August 2009
Salcon Travel Consultants or a Salami Babatunde, 1 Salcon Main Building, Magodo Estate in Lagos? IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED . THE TRAVELS AGENCY EXIST AND ITS REAL.
September 2009
hey, i am planning to go to Nigeria next year 2010.(from southafrica) can anyone recommend a travel agency that can do everything for me.
September 2009
Im extremely confused and slightly worried!! Im currently at the moment trying to figure out if i have been scamed by the travel agency that has been mentioned...
The travel agency is 1 Salcon Travel Agency
Magodo Estate
Lagos State
And the travel agents Salami Babatunde.
Can someone confirm that this person exists cz its starting to seem abit dodgy!! Thanks.
September 2009
To All,
Salcon Travel Agency is a HUGE FRAUD!!!
There is no address in Magodo G.R.A Estate either the phase one or two that goes like that.
Will the Number 2 of the street also be: 2, Salcon Main Building?
They even asked someone they meet on this portal to send them USD225 as courier charges for a parcel containing some phoney air ticket, Visa(!!!) that was arranged even without the physical Passport, Taxi and accommodation arrangements!
Nigeria will never issue anyone visa without the recipient physically present and even if you have the British Nationality, you need a valid visa to set foot on the Nigerian soil. Nigerian visa can NEVER be procured on arrival!
These guys are scammers, so be warned! they have collaborators all over Europe and even America and the Far east.
They use valid company names like SETRACO Construction to con people into believeing there are some Building jobs to be executed.
To be fore-warned, is to be fore-armed!
September 2009

Is there a hospital in Lagos call MAYDAY hospital?
September 2009
check it out on the net if there is such a hospital it will be listed.
September 2009
To M:
There is no 'Toying' Street in Ikoyi I can bet on that! The most popular Toyin street in Lagos Nigeria is at Ikeja and it happens to be the street on which I live!
Ikoyi streets are mostly named after past colonial officers and notable Nigerians. There is no 'Toying' street in Ikoyi. The scammer is just 'Toying' with your mind. Toyin street is spelt without the 'g'.
P.O box are not contact addresses and could be used as a ruse to con you into believing that they are real. Obviously he is leading you on! tell him to send a detailed office or home contact address to you that you need to have a friend deliver the payment in cash on your behalf.
We just apprehended one of them with the help of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigerian Police.
Please, give more details as requested and I promise you the police will swing into action.

But I cant find the location of the place on a map, because half of the roads don't show names. Can someone help me find this place out. A website would help as well.

firstname.lastname@example.com and anyone familiar with this travel agency email@example.com
appreciate your help
November 2009
@ Michael. There is no hotel by that name in Abuja, and the travel agency does not exist. You are being scammed big time. Scamming is now so rampant that I personally would not buy anything on the web that has a nigerian connection with money being paid in advance, unless if it credit card payment. The credit card company will pay me back in case of fraud.
why would you want to buy travel ticket from Nigeria anyway. By the way, I am of Nigerian descent.
November 2009
do not send any parcels to Dayo Daniel Hawley at 18 Adefimihan St. Lagos, NIgeria. I posted an ad on Kijiji and he replied saying he was sending money through Paypal. I then received a fraudulent email stating that the money was approved but I would not see the credit until I sent a shipping number. These fools didnt get away with it this time but I am sure they will scam somebody else. BE CAREFUL!!!!
November 2009
Hello everybody out there who suspects they might be getting scammed. If you suspect it then it definately is a scam.
I met my little scammer on yahoo personals. He goes by Kenneth Brandon or Kenneth Castro. His e-mail is "imnotsocutelol@yahoo" (what an understatement).
His sad story was that he was some kind of contractor who lived in California but was doing business in Nigeria with his 9-year-old son for a couple of weeks. This was in September around the time school should be starting. I asked him why his son wasn't in America starting school and he said he was home schooled and there are homeschoolers in Nigeria for him. Why would you take your child that far to do 2 weeks worth of work... and who would be caring for the child while you're working? Red flag there ladies.
The next thing he does is send me his flight itinerary back to the United States to an address in Santa Ana, CA with the American Xpress logo and everything on it. So I googled the address and it was a legitimate address to some rather nice looking apartments. But he must have gotten confused between all of his other victims because at first he said he lived in a house but the itinerary said an apartment number on it--second red flag. So he says he'll call me when he gets back to California.
Next thing I know he can't leave the country because the airport in Lagos has drummed up some extra deposit charge for his son to fly back that he supposedly wasn't informed about when he originally purchased the airfare. He went on to tell me Nigeria wouldn't honor his American Xpress card over there to get cash and that he would not be able to get paid for a while for the work he had done. I told him to go to the American Embassy over there and even sent him a website for emergency help for americans abroad. He didn't pay any attention to that.
The next drama that befalls him is his son's misbehavior. Evidently one day when his poor daddy was walking to the airport the child broke a window and the owner of the motel wouldn't let him leave until it's paid for. Well, as mentioned before, according to him Nigeria wouldn't honor his credit card so he was destitute and couldn't leave the country and needed money for the hotel repairs.
Shortly after that he sends me a bank deposit slip to the tune of $150,000 with his "account number" on it, which looked very genuine with the bank logo on it but why would anyone disclose their account number to a stranger? At this point I knew he was a scammer. He was trying to convince me of his legitimacy to get me to deposit money in his account because he claimed he was unable (for some stupid reason) to withdraw any of it!!
After doing some research I learned that these scammers are a big problem over there for the REAL Bank of Nigeria. To raise the public's awareness of this problem, they have posted pictures of fake deposit slips and other phoney documents. After going through several of them I found a deposit slip identical to the one he sent me--same account number, amount deposited and even the same signature of the depositor, the only difference was the printed name of the depositor at the top! Incredible!
To make a long story short I decided to mess with him. I gave him a fake money order tracking number and told him he would be receiving $2000 by wire on a certain date. He went to pick it up and there was nothing there for him. Ha Ha!!
In closing I'd like to say I have learned a lot in a very short time on how wide spread and deep this scamming really is. These people are everywhere!!
Take care and whatever you do don't send money to someone you've never met.
November 2009
Could anyone please enlighten me if they have heard of a Marya JONES, 2 Bailey Street, Shomolu, Lagos, Nigeria? If so have you got a photo that I may compare?
November 2009
Dear gullible,
you really did well by sharing your encounter with the fraudstar. The truth is that these hudlums will never learn, actually they claim to be very smart but in reality they are the most fools. The only plus they have is that some of thier victims are not english speakers, if not, with their spelling mistakes and wrong english the speak and write,it would have been easier to know them at the on-set because the majority of them, not all are illiterate, who have done nothing good for themselves and are as well not ready to do any thing good other than to go on tarnishing the image of nigeria. The bad reputation for nigeria due to their activities reaches even far more than their so-called seductions letters. These people should just wake up and live up to day, the world has changed, those faretales they go on telling would actaully be varied as matter of seconds by the consignee, the internet which they think is their most useful weapon is at the same their greatest betray.
gullible, as i said earlier, its very good of you for narrating your expierence with the monster fool, the master of lies. GIVE THE FOOLS NO CHANCE!!!

Fedro Evaristo
State: Lagos City:
Ikeja Country: Nigeria

Match.com watch out ladies!!! handsome photos and profiles beware. these profiles open then close down in a day, to reopen when FEDRO M EVARISTO cares to make contact. Poses with MODEL handsome pictures. Black/blue 6'3" and real sweet talker profile.
Possibly preying for vulnerable women??? using any date site.
says 50 yr old male with daughter 10 in NC....do not be so sure...
seen the profile again, different states, same photo/profile, different description....changes to attract women.
Asks to go onto yahoo messenger IM
off date site, this communication may allow computer access, and allows a portal or window hole to enter your computer.
Could worm around for negative reasons, one to obtain personal info, address, credit card info, or to eventually steal mail....trouble.
Pass this info to all women as a got to beware. they use different names, pictures, skits, online not always same or real person talking. Will spend time on phone too....it's self motivated to get info. False security established?? Liars. Be careful. Report to agency and save and send to online security. It is worth it. Keep anonymous.
Unsigned- a smart savvy lady
February 2010
I to have been contacted through Match.com of a male named Fedro Evaristo, Also with a daughter in NC . He poses as a 50 yr, single parent who at the moment is in West Africa.

Is anyone know a the name Adedamola Samuel who said he is a travel agents. The address he gave me is 50 Airport Road, Lagos, Nigeria 23401 and his email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. The telephone number he gave me is a dead number 002348037185520. I was told to send money via western union to him. the other guy that i have been chatting to for 5 months name is Desmond Samuel not sure if that his name or i was actually talking to this Adedamola person and the pictures probably not belong to this Desmond Guy if he really exist. I had been scammed and lost £700. I know i was a fool and stupid and naive. Even after sending him various email and told him that i know all about his scamming he swore to me he is not. Strange enough Desmond was supposed to flight to the UK on Monday. After i email that Adedamola person to find out if Desmond is really coming on Monday as i didn't received anything that is the replied i got back " How are you doing this morning? I hope your night was great and perfect.
I just want you to know that you don't have to panic because the doctors are making sure he is in good health. Mr Desmond was attacked by armed robbers yesterday in the afternoon. He was seriously injured and his condition is critical at this moment.
The accident happened on his way to the airport, correspondence from the eye witness of the accident said the robbers thought there was money in the briefcase he was carrying but they did not know that it was just some of his document. The doctors are making sure that his health is being restored.
Should in case the doctors need to speak with you please do leave your number so that they can get in touch with you.
Once again am very sorry about this, the doctors and i will make sure he regain is strength back". I emailed him back and asked him to give me the details and the hospital that Desmond is staying and their phone number. I haven't received a replied back. I wrote again but nothing so i don't think i will be hearing from him. That Desmond guy found me on my space. My profile wasn't great all i had was my pic and name and date of birth that it. But he was very good at what he was doing as he managed to earn my trust as i didn't have trust in people and i was taking for a fool that i trust the wrong person. So beware Ladies anyone want you to send money without meeting them or for any reason please don't be like me just report them or bloke them.

It's only been 2 wks of chatting and already he loves me...freaked me out when I read his email this past weekend and he just asked me my real name last night. Said he was coming back to the states in 3 days and would like to meet me. I told him I wouldn't be able too take time off work until July and he said that was too long. Story short...it's a good thing my gut feeling told me to do my diligent effort in finding anything I could about him.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the entrepreneurial mindset of students after following an entrepreneurship education course. Several teaching techniques were utilized to infuse entrepreneurial skills and behaviour among students in the university settings. A modified version of entrepreneurial directed approach as discussed in the literature was adapted to conduct the study. Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative research method. Findings indicate that the entrepreneurial directed approach had broadened students' entrepreneurial understanding, and students are able to develop the entrepreneurial skills and behaviour required for their studies. The paper discusses practical implications for university entrepreneurship learning to guide students to have an entrepreneurial mindset.

This article summarises the constraints for tokamak operation. The operating space is restricted by several limitations among which the plasma performance and hence the resulting fusion power has to be optimized. Hard limits which lead ultimately to a termination of the discharge and may damage the first wall as well as soft limits resulting in a reduction of the energy content (and the generated fusion power) of the plasma are described. The operational limits can be summarized in two general groups: excessive radiation from the plasma, and violation of global or local MHD stability boundaries.

Edwards Outlines Agenda for Next Year
By Morgan Dye
During the Chairman's Honors Luncheon, incoming chair David Edwards, President and CEO Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, eloquently outlined his goals for the upcoming year.
Among goals set to continue ACI-NA's work with various government regulators and industry partners, Edwards shared that he plans to lead the ACI-NA Board of Directors in an effort to develop a 5-year strategic plan to help guide the organization. He also called attention to his focus on continuing the great work that has already begun to strengthen the awareness and understanding of airports' vital role in national and local economies, with an eye toward getting us prepared to begin the policy debate.
He noted that the 'Airports for the Future Campaign', will allow airports to begin laying the foundation for a change in conversation over the next three years so that in 2015 local business leaders and politicians from across the United States can stand together with industry officials, "...to make the case for more local control over our airports' financial destiny because of the economic benefits and jobs this new system will help generate."
Edwards also seized the opportunity to highlight the success of the implementation of the new and more productive structure for ACI-NA that better serves its Canadian membership. Edwards emphasized that, "Issues such as the economy, security, facilitation, the environment and "over-regulation" bring our airports even closer together across borders. The changes we are making will strengthen ACI-NA and our ability to serve all of our members."

Mastering the Big Three Lifts
Every bodybuilder should deadlift, but mastering the various other pulls can help you build a thick back from top to bottom.
By Johnnie Jackson, IFBB Pro; Photography: Rich Baker; Model: Johnnie Jackson, IFBB Pro
[Q] Johnnie, besides the deadlift, what's the best move for back thickness?
[A] I definitely think that the barbell row would be next in line for thickness. The amount of weight you can use lends itself to great growth. Dumbbell rows are a bit better when getting ready for a contest or trying to get added detail because you can isolate a bit further. Although dumbbell rows tend to hit the lower lats more because of the position of your elbow relative to your body, the barbell rows allow you to move max weight.
[Q] There seems to be a lot of debate over what grip is best for barbell rows if you want to gain mass. Which do you prefer?
[A] I think whichever grip is most comfortable. I like an overhand grip, a little bit wider than shoulder width that best targets the upper lats. With an underhand grip, you use more biceps and lower lats, while going overhand allows you to decrease biceps involvement. If you get too wide, it takes away your range of motion, which means you work half of the muscle and get half of the benefit. An overhand or underhand grip that's too close is also awkward unless you're using a neutral grip.
[Q] Johnnie, a training buddy of mine always rips on me because I don't do pull-ups. I tell him I can do pulldowns for reps with the stack, so why do I need pull-ups? What do you think?
[A] I think you should start doing pull-ups. I think bodybuilders or regular trainers should be able to move their own bodyweight. You should definitely have that strength. Plus, doing pull-ups works the target muscle a little differently and I think it puts more tension on your lats. There's no point to doing a movement in which you can relax because you have to hold yourself up. On pulldowns, you lose a bit when the weight is up top when it stretches you out – you tension seems to be released. As far as grip width, Arnold used to say a wider grip makes for a wider back. My aim is about comfort; so again, place your hands a little bit wider than shoulder width so that you won't focus on your grip, just the movement.
[Q] Free weights seem to be the name of the game in back training. Can cables and machines play a part in awesome backside development?
[A] Definitely. I use the whole gym. Pros like Branch Warren and I use every possible piece of equipment. When you use a machine you don't have to stabilize the weight so it becomes a little bit easier, so you use a bit more weight or get a few more reps, so each piece of equipment has its own advantages and works the target musculature a little bit differently.
Here's how Johnnie makes ordinary machines become extraordinary on back day:
Smith-Machine Row
I do barbell rows on a box, elevating myself a bit for a longer range of motion. Then I make it a little bit harder by letting the bar rest on the pins at the bottom for a second, so that every rep in the set is like that first one because you lose all built-up elastic energy. And of course, I'll add a bit more weight ⎯ I go up to six plates with the machine instead of five.
Seated Cable Row
I use different attachments and versions every time. We tend to invent in the gym. I like to use the large V-bar with a slight forward lean (about 45 degrees) and stay there instead of coming up perpendicular to the floor.
Low-Row Hammer Strength
I'm a bit partial to this one; it's just very fluid. It feels like you're using free weights. I hit my upper lats really well, and you can get a really good squeeze by holding the peak contraction for 1–2 seconds.
Plate-Loaded Machine Row
MetroFlex has a great plate-loaded machine row, where you put your chest against a pad, pick your grip (overhand or neutral) and just go. I usually go neutral on this one. As soon as you pick it up there's tension and you feel every bit of the movement in your back.

Red-tailed hawk (taken November 4th)
Right after I took this, like a dog after an itch, the hawk scratched the side of its head vigorously with its claws. Those things look lethal. It must have a hard head…
