Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names - page 4
No matter how many self-righteous managers and nurses might deny it, there is still plenty of discrimination against job hunters with ethnic names. All you have to do is Google to find plenty of articles, stats, and studies... Read More
- 0Sep 8, '12 by misstgoQuote from TrophyWifeI totally agree.Ha, ha, ha Misstgo keep it 100! I was very intentional in choosing my son's name. No mid-name apostrophes, no random capital letters, and nothing ending in 'quon' for goodness sakes! As much as it pained me, I even went with a traditional spelling. Not as much fun, but for me, as a parent, it was the right thing to do. NO, it shouldn't have to be that way, but it IS and I'm not going to let my kid pay the price because I want to fight the system.
- 0Sep 8, '12 by ShuggypieMy married surname is identifiable as part of the religious minority in the US, and people are surprised when they meet me and I'm not what they expect. When completing applications I just go for it. I have found that the larger the organization the more diverse the work staff, the less discrimination. I know when you don't have a job, almost any job will do, but would you really want to work in culture where discrimination is tolerated?
- 0Eh, at my last job I was basically the only white or non-foreign one there. I wouldn't have minded if they could all at least speak English since we had almost all white, US citizen patients.
I wanted to tell my NM that I can't actually take every patient who requested "that girl who speaks English" because then I'd have ALL the patients.
It was just frustrating. And I couldn't understand what they were trying to tell me in report. Sometimes they even called meds into the pharmacy to later have the pharmacy call me and say, this person can't have such and such 'cause they're allergic to that class of meds, and it was just something that sounded similar, not the right med.
Very scary.
I can appreciate if English is not your first language but we didn't have interpreters (it was a dumpy place, they didn't have anything necessary) and the patients couldn't understand the nurses and vice versa, so it was so awful.Last edit by JZ_RN on Sep 8, '12 : Reason: added
- 5And to the girl who said "If you're not African American you cannot comment on it"- You think African Americans are the only ones who get discriminated against? And you think African Americans don't do the same discriminating when I was the only non-African American in that job? Please get over yourself. Anyone who is different from the others in any environment is a target for discrimination.
- 5Sep 8, '12 by ByTheLakeQuote from ablpnDo you not even see the hypocrisy of this statement?? Do you really assume that there are no whites who live in areas where whites are the minority? Do you really think no whites have ever experience racism or discrimination based on the color of their skin? Don't you dare. I'm white. I'm neither proud nor ashamed of the color of my skin. But I have lived as a minority during two periods of my life, once where blacks were the majority, and once when hispanics were the majority. I have also experienced racism based on the color of my skin, sometimes escalating to the level of violence. So don't you ever accuse me of not understanding what it's like to be the recipient of racism, discrimination, or bigotry, because it's just not true.Again, people who are NOT African American can not speak on it. They are not black and have not had our experiences with trying to prove that we are equal and just as good a nurse as our white counterparts.
I don't deny that racism exists, but I also don't think that the raw statistics can explain the true *extent* of the problem. I've not only experienced racism, I've also witnessed it from whites towards blacks (I spoke up and ruffled some white feathers by doing so) and from whites towards hispanics, and all sorts of other combinations. But I didn't see it only in the south. I saw it up north, too. It's not always white vs others, sometimes it's black vs hispanic, asian vs black, black vs white, hispanic vs asian, you name it, it's there. Whites do not have a monopoly on ill feelings towards other races, and blacks don't have a monopoly on being recipients of discrimination--lots of other races would be mighty insulted for you to pretend as if their plights are not as bad, not as important, not as relevant, etc. And you also can't dismiss half the world's population regardless of race: women. Remember that black men voted before white women. Black men have gained many such advances before white women. And women, much like minorities, also still experience discrimination. By saying that non-blacks can't speak on it, because they haven't had your experiences, is an ignorant and untrue statement. If you are a woman, you've been treated differently and likely discriminated against for not having a penis.
So yes, I *can* and *will* speak to issues of racism. I hate it. I hated being on the receiving end, and I hate to see it happen to someone else, and I will speak up about it both while it happens and after the fact in ways that I *hope* will make a difference, such as on this forum. And I sincerely hope that we can all work together to alleviate problems associated with racism. We can't make someone not be racist or sexist or ageist or any other -ist, but we can each do our part to make their impact less, to help create a culture within our communities and organizations where -isms are so despised that, even if you are secretly an -ist, you wouldn't dare admit it or even act on it. But we don't accomplish that by ostracizing based on race. That Is Part of the problem! You do it by speaking up *at the time* that the -ism is taking place. You see someone dissing an old person? Hopefully you have gotten to know them and can point out the ways that "old person" can run rings around all those dissing youngun's! You see someone taunting someone for being a typical whitey? Hopefully you have a relationship with that white person and can defend them to their taunters, and point out some of their impressive skills, hobbies, or some interesting tidbit from their past. You hear someone using a racial slur? Call them out, and make it clear that those sorts of words have no place in civilized society, and you won't just let it slide. Shame the person publicly--they likely won't use that word outside their own home again. They may not change their minds, but their minds are private, and not under your control. But you can help to minimize the negative impact of their words and actions on others.
- 3Sep 8, '12 by kcmylornI have to speak up here- as a white RN, I was hired for a position I wanted so very badly in a urban minority neighborhood in a public health clinic because it was with the medically underserved, uninsured and under insured, because it was with patient population, I knew from working in the hospitals for many years, how medically chronically complex they were- in other words- this was my "dream job" because of the challege, my belief in the health care reform and this was my chance to participate in that reform. i could forsee many things down the road for that nursing position and that clinic( the potential). I was told by HR it was a new position and to make it my own. I was met with such bullying, lack of respect, ignorance and down right insubordination, the refusal of even a good morning in the AM, the refusal of some staffers to even orient me- by not showing me anything, would not talk to me and even had 2 call out sick on the days they were to orient me. I was screamed at and put down in front of the patients, their families and other staff. My patients were from every minority one could think of and were very nice and receptive. Some would stand at the desk in line to speak to me as opposed to the staff who had been working there. I treated them with respect and dignity and tried to do the best I could for them and I know the patients recognized this as one eldely gentleman said to me- "ma'am you came through for me once, can you do it again( with reference to finaggleing him an appointment)". which if one tried hard enough it wasn't too difficult TO ACCOMPLISH. These patients were not treated with respect or even helped by their own. They were thought of undeserving and it showed in the staffs attitude toward them. These patients were also sicker than alot of patients in the hospital and certainly sicker than their insured and more well off counter parts( the staff)
I ended up leaving that position after a few short weeks of this treatment and what I saw done to these patients. I did not, however, leave without reporting the provable nursing regulation infractions to dept of health of which I received a very positive letter back from- the clinic was served with deficiencies!
I don't want to hear that discrimination only is toward minorities because I have seen and experienced it first hand - it is not. I have seen African Americans treat other African American who they percieve has being beneath them because they don't have insurance like dirt and deny them high quality health care- like a simple doctors appointment,I have seen the African American nurse talk to African American patients with disrespect and dishonesty. I have seen minority nurses treat minority patients poorly even though those minority patients are well dressed- one lady was dressed in a linen long skited out fit, she was on her way to work- a job that did not offer her health insurance and her earnings were too low for her to afford a policy out of pocket. I say an African american father accompaniy his chronically ill child to an appointment- he was a car mechanic again who could not afford insurance family plan monthy payments out of pocket and no health insurance benefits offered at the garage. No one was willing to accomodate the lady in the linen outfit for an appointment, no one was willing to inform the dad that the clinic offered free transportation to university medical services to specialists for his daughter.
And it might suprise everyone to know that alot of the patients I saw in this clinic were dressed in nursing scrubs- worked as home health aids!! no insurance. seeking care for their kids and themselves- including GYN visits.
I am very bitter about this and feel I have every right to be. This does not speak well of nursing!!!
- 0Sep 8, '12 by sauconyrunnerQuote from JZ_RNTrying to figure out how this - non English Speaking Nurses- has any bearing on anyone's name.Eh, at my last job I was basically the only white or non-foreign one there.

- 0Sep 8, '12 by kcmylornBytheLake- Bravo- I am right there with you. I spoke up for an Asian male RN who was being bullyied by a group of mixed minority and gender identification (lesbian) nurses aids on a telemetry floor. The aids refused to assist him with his patient care- answer the call light of one of his patients while he went to the lab to pick up a unit of blood for a newly admitted GI bleed. 3 witnesses in the room( another white RN, an Indian RN, and a African American RN) and all afraid to speak up.
I was terminated- the ring leader lied about the event. I has made me think twice about sticking my neck out and standing up in these situations. What it all boils down to is: the nursing administration doesn't know how to handle these situations and would rather get rid of the person who bring them to their attention. They would rather the problem continue and keep ignoring it.
This insident I reported to the EEOC and the state dept of labor. 65 pages of a complaint. The EEOC investigators went up to the unit aqnd interviewed each staff person individually and a corrective action plan that had to be monitored and carried out by the nursing management for 3 years with EEOC oversight reporting.
Insidently, I did go to my manager when I saw the first insident- she did nothing. I went to the VP of Nursing with the second event- he did nothing. Where is the VP of nursing today- promoted to an ever higher position in another healthcare system- I saw his picture and write up, congrats to him, in the Nursing Spectrum. It is not to THEIR political advantage or career aspirations to intervene in these situations.!! he holds as he did then- 2 Master's degrees and a Phd, a fellowship and emergency nursing certif, and a health administration certification( RN,BSN,MSN,MHA,phD, CEN, CNHA FAAC)!!! It got me fired and unemployed for 8 months cleaned out my savings account - and bankruptcy.

The laughs last longer with the Date Night Extended Edition, which includes a never-before-seen version of the film with hilarious added footage not shown in theaters!
Steve Carell and Tina Fey are "a match made in comedy heaven" (Ben Lyons, E!) in this uproarious adventure about an ordinary couple in the right place...on the wrong night. Phil and Claire Foster are a sensible, suburban husband and wife slogging through their daily lives and marriage. But a case of mistaken identity sets off a n outrageous chain of events involving small-time thieves, big-city mobsters, corrupt cops and a crazed cabbie, as the Fosters' "date night" turns into a wild ride they'll never forget!

Cast & Crew
Its slapstick story of a married couple enduring outrageous fortune offers a lot of laughs, a bit of romance and plenty for either sex to relate to.
Carell and Fey really are like Fred and Ginger, so smooth and sure-footed in their comic grace(lessness) and timing.
A very mild recommendation, only because the immensely funny and appealing stars outshine the pedestrian material. Their respective sitcoms are funnier and more sophisticated than this movie.
In the hands of, say, a Greg Kinnear and a Sarah Jessica Parker, the thing could be a disaster. It's not. Not by a long shot.
What comes as a welcome surprise is how Date Night manages to make sport of romantic movie conventions without being mean about them.
A reasonably amusing way to pass Saturday night with a significant other.
Watching Carell and Fey in action, trading quips and dodging gunfire as they attempt to make their way home to white-picket-fence suburbia, makes you wonder why it's taken so long to bring these two gifted comics together.

For the first time, well injection rates from two zones are being remotely monitored and controlled, via satellite link, from an office located 165 mi (265 km) from the well site. The well (VRG-7D) is in Brazil's Varginha field, and the office is in Petrobrás' operational base in Natal. This was achieved with the world's first all-electric, multi-zone, intelligent-well system, installed last May.
Baker Oil Tools' InCharge Intelligent Well System was deployed in the onshore water-injection well prior to a 2002 subsea installation in Campos basin. The system controls flow while measuring pressure and temperature in real time, using infinitely variable chokes monitored with onboard pressure / temperature gauges and a downhole venturi flowmeter. As water is injected into a zone, the engineer can see, in real time, upstream and downstream pressure changes and the direct impact of water flowing into each injection zone.
A key benefit of the all-electric, multi-zone intelligent well system is the single control line that penetrates wellhead, expansion joint, tubing disconnect and packers, thereby minimizing infrastructure modifications to subsea trees and increasing safety.
All-electric system rationale. Historically, hydraulic limits (primarily associated with surface-controlled subsurface safety valves) have been the primary cause for interventions in Petrobrás' subsea well completions. Such interventions usually take at least 20 – 30 days of contracted rig time. At rig rates of $150,000/day, this translates to minimum workover costs of $3 – 4.5 million per occurrence. Thus, although most intelligent well systems to date have been either hydraulic or electro-hydraulic, Petrobrás restricted or eliminated hydraulics from its subsea wells for reliability and cost reasons.
Hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems require multiple control lines to penetrate the wellhead. Subsea trees, on the other hand, were originally intended for only a single downhole electronic gauge. All-electric, intelligent-well designs require minimal retrofitting of subsea trees. As a result, intelligent-well systems can be used with minimal modifications to the subsea infrastructure. Conversely, the cost of modifying existing subsea trees and running multiple control lines downhole can be prohibitive.
Because bottomhole conditions may adversely affect many traditional oilfield hydraulic fluids, hydraulics downhole have typically been limited to fairly shallow applications of subsurface valves. However, intelligent-well devices are positioned at or immediately above the sand face, bringing them much closer to true bottomhole conditions. Exposing standard fluids to deep formation temperatures can cause precipitation of solids and possibly, failure of moving parts.
System mechanics. The primary pressure barrier in the Varginha system is a 9-5/8-in. x 5-1/2-in. packer. The upper 5-1/2-in. tubing string carries the injection fluids to the lower completion intervals, which are mechanically separated at completion by the isolation assembly. Apportionment and allocation of flow are controlled by the intelligent monitoring and control components between the intervals.
Total injected flow volume is measured by passage through the 5-1/2-in. venturi flowmeter before entering the system's 5-1/2-in. intelligent production regulator (IPR) valve assembly. The desired volume of fluid intended for the upper injection interval is then apportioned and passed from the tubing into the tubing / casing annulus by the infinitely variable choke in the IPR valve assembly. Annular flow volume continues into the upper injection interval. The balance of the total injected volume continues downward in the 3-1/2-in. venturi flowmeter, which measures volumetric flow going into the lower injection interval. The system's 3-1/2-in. shrouded IPR valve assembly regulates lower zone injection rate.
The heart of the new system is the regulator valve assembly, which provides:
Additionally, a shrouded IPR valve assembly provides the same basic functionality as the 5-1/2-in. valve assembly. However, the external shrouding and internal wireline-retrievable plug and porting enables variable choking regulation of tubing-to-tubing flow.
Single control line. A key benefit of the system is the single control line that penetrates wellhead, expansion joint, tubing disconnect and packers. The system can monitor and control up to 12 zones in a single well and up to 12 wells in a field, each via a single control line from a single surface-control system. The primary electronic "bus" for the system is a tubing-encased conductor (TEC) cable that comprises twin copper conductors in a 1/4-in.-OD capillary tubing, with an epoxy filler that serves as a fluid / gas blocking agent. The surface control system is also designed to provide an interface to higher-level SCADA, DCS and ESD systems. In addition to minimizing infrastructure modifications to subsea trees, a single control line reduces safety and technological risks.
Downhole electrical wet disconnect / reconnect anchor system. The Varginha VRG-7D intelligent well featured the world's first downhole electrical wet disconnect / reconnect anchor system. This system, based on an earlier hydraulic snap-in / snap-out anchor, is designed to facilitate disconnection and reconnection of the tubing string and twisted pair conductors leading to intelligent-well components. The wet disconnect enables a single-point downhole disconnection or reconnection of both production tubing and TEC cable anytime after the production packer is set. It eliminates required retrieval of the lower intelligent-completion assembly during upper completion workover operations necessitated by safety valve failures, tubing hanger leaks or tubing leaks. It may also be used to facilitate future tubing space-out and circulation operations.
Whereas the running load in the earlier hydraulic anchor was carried by the shear release latch, the load-carrying mechanism in the new electrical wet disconnect is released after running the completion by applying annulus pressure. A straight pull on the production string disengages the snap-latch anchor of the connector, and the upper completion can be removed.
Nearly 70% of Brazilian oil and gas reserves lie in deep (1,000 – 3,000 ft) and ultra-deep (>3,000 ft) waters. Successfully exploiting these reserves depends on safe, economic extraction. In the mid-1990s, Petrobrás recognized how intelligent-well technology could address existing limitations and expand basic well completion to improve reservoir management. In 1998, Petrobrás began investigating intelligent-well systems that met strict safety criteria, addressed reliability concerns related to hydraulically operated downhole flow-control devices, and enhanced the value of additional downhole sensors with which to resolve key uncertainties critical to deepwater production and reservoir management. To date, Petrobrás and Baker Oil Tools are achieving these objectives.

Medical Definition of INTUITION
intuitionnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
In philosophy, the power of obtaining knowledge that is not or cannot be acquired either by inference or observation. As such, intuition is thought of as an original, independent source of knowledge, since it is designed to account for just those kinds of knowledge that other sources do not provide. Knowledge of some necessary truths and basic moral principles is sometimes explained in this way. A technical sense of intuition, deriving from Immanuel Kant, refers to immediate acquaintance with individual entities; intuition (Anschauung) in this sense may be empirical (e.g., consciousness of sense-data) or pure (e.g., consciousness of space and time a priori as forms of all empirical intuitions). As conceived by Benedict de Spinoza and Henri Bergson, intuition is taken to be concrete knowledge of the world as an interconnected whole, as contrasted with the piecemeal, abstract knowledge obtained by science and observation.

Researchers say biofuels could replace 50% of global fuel supply without affecting food, pasture
In Illinois, researchers at the University of Illinois-Urbana Campaign have determined that half of the world's current fuel consumption could be replaced with biofuels without competing with food or pastureland. A class of biofuel crops called low-impact high-diversity (LIHD) perennial grasses could produce bioenergy while maintaining grassland. Adding LIHD crops grown on marginal grassland to the marginal cropland estimate from earlier scenarios nearly doubled the estimated land area to 1,107 million hectares globally, even after subtracting possible pasture land – an area that would produce 26 to 56 percent of the world's current liquid fuel consumption.

I bought this keyboard and expected silent keys much like cheaper keyboards offer and indeed more pricey ones.But the keys are loud, they go "TAP TAP TAP" even as I write now. I dread to hear them when I am actually in a game!A nice keyboard but if your'e like me and wanted silent keys or even needed them then I suggest looking elsewhere.Made by gamers for gamers? I'm sure they have never played past 12am in their house before.

Barclays is offering a new, very good card with a very good sign-up bonus!
A few days ago, my wife received a credit card sign-up offer from Barclays. While the offer wasn't the best I've ever seen, it turned out to be pretty darn good…
There are two versions of this card. Confusingly, they are both named the Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard. There is the free version of the card with a public 10,000 point signup bonus, and then there is the $89 annual fee card with a targeted 40,000 point signup bonus.
Besides the annual fee and the sign-up bonus, the main difference between these cards is that the $89 card earns 2 miles per dollar for all purchases, whereas the no-fee version earns 2 miles per dollar for travel and dining, but just 1 mile per dollar for everything else.
Carry-on miles
Both cards offer a feature called "carry-on miles". Miles can be redeemed for statement credit at any time for a value of 1 cent per mile. However, if you redeem miles for travel you get back 10% of the miles. In other words, if you plan to always redeem for travel, you can think of the $89 version of the card as being like a 2.2% cash back card. Valid travel expenses include: Airlines, Travel Agencies & Tour Operators, Hotels, Motels & Resorts, Cruise Lines, Passenger Railways and Car Rental Agencies.
The value of the bonus
Redeeming points with this card for travel reminds me of the hypothetical turtle that always goes half way to its destination. It gets closer and closer, but never arrives. When you redeem your points for travel, you get back 10%. You can then redeem those points for travel and get back 10%. And so on.
With the 40,000 mile sign-up bonus, you could redeem those miles for $400 worth of travel. Then, you would get back 4000 miles. You could then redeem those miles for $40 worth of travel. Then you would get back 400 miles….
OK, its not worth going further than that. The signup bonus is worth about $440. That's not the best sign-up offer available (see "Best credit card offers"), but it is pretty darn good!
I think it's time for my wife to do a little credit card churn… If you're interested in this offer, watch your mailbox!

There is a publicly available 20k miles offer with an $89 fee
Thanks Tom!
Any minimum spend for the 40K points?
I'm actually glad you wrote about this offer as I received this in the mail last week. Funny thing is I've never received or own any Barclays cards. I've been holding off on signing up any credit cards in preparation of my first cycle churn in January. I was planning on applying for the US Airways card during that time. What are the chances of getting both? Which one would you recommend one from the other?
Good post , a new piece of information for me.
40,000 "points" – points in what exactly? What program?
Oh. Barclay's has their own program, not affiliated with any airline. These "points" are to be traded as currency when purchasing tickets – at whatever the going rate is. These are not points to be used for award tickets.
This is probably the single most deceptive string of marketing BS that has ever been uttered: "No blackout dates" followed by "Any airline to any destination, with no seat restrictions and no blackout dates". Whenever I see such nonsense, I conclude this is an offer made by a sleazy company, targeted at suckers.
Does not look even slightly interesting to me. No thanks.
@Krazny: the new Arrival cards from Barclays are similar to the CapitalOne Venture cards. You don't have to redeem through Barclays– you simply charge travel purchases and then redeem points (1 point = $0.01, and on top of that you get 10% of your points back) for a statement credit.
I have made good use of Cap One points and TY points from Citi. I will look out for this offer and follow your reports. My experience is that Barclays will allow more than one card.
What are the redemptions like? I.e., if I have a $300 flight, will it actually cost 30,000 points? Or is it like FlexPerks where there are tiers of redemptions?
[…] Home › Frequent Flyer › The New Kid: Barclaycard Arrival World Mastercard […]
Grant: Yes, $1K min spend
Thomas: You have a decent chance of getting both. See this post, for example: http://boardingarea.com/rapidtravelchai/2012/12/12/barclays-credit-cards-101-and-how-many-can-you-get-at-once-4-5-or-more/
AK: As DW wrote, you simply purchase any airfare (or any other travel) with the credit card and then use points to pay for those statement charges. Yes, 30,000 points = $300 (but then you get back 3000 points). You could also use points for any non-travel charges, but you won't then get 10% back.
interesting! 1 inquiry on multiple card sign-ups… I guess I'll give it a whirl myself! Thanks for the link FM!
Original content, imagine that!
Good to see another competitor in the proprietay bank currency! They do one leg up on the Capital Venture card with the 10% rebate BUT without waiving the annual fee.
Some things to consider:
1) Doubt that the service in redeeming will be so painless as Capital One (ONLY talking about redemption here!)
2) It is Barclasys & they may approve you for the lesser version of the card. One of the most annoying things EVER in this hobby.
3) Good for flexibility…Would prefer to see 50k signing bonus to make me Move on this:-)
no forex fee is decent- how about that for club carlson card!!
from the terms: free TripitPro subscription too- which Amex Plat used to provide, but no longer does. Not much, but a nice little perk
agree that they will not be as flexible as Cap One- whose customer service also sucks IMO, but at least they do credit for really anything as 'travel'–but here you get the 10%, so a wash. remains to be seen if they will impose 'levels' or allow for partial redemptions? so if i have an $800 ticket, but only 40K points for $400 travel credit, can I use the $400 as a partial, or do I have to have the whole $800?
Alternatively, at least through affiliate links, you can still get a no annual fee 2% Priceline Visa. Do a web search for "priceline rewards visa 2%". Here is an article with such a link (I have no affiliation and didn't immediately find a link on frequentmiler): http://www.mymoneyblog.com/priceline-rewards-visa-card-review-2-flat-cash-back-on-all-purchases.html .
That said, I understand that Barclays is pretty liberal about issuing multiple credit cards to customers, so the choice between these cards is not mutually exclusive.
Since most of us in the game rarely pay for travel, seems this sort of card is of limited use.
FWIW, just got a targeted offer on another Barclays card – the NFL card. Spend $500 a month in Jan, Feb and Mar and get 20,000 points. You can use those points as cash to pay your CC bill, so in effect they are giving you $200 rebate on $1500 spend (which can be buying gcs for example). I recently signed up to get the 40000 points (= $400 value) for a paltry $1K spend. Now another $200 for some more paltry spend. I like Barclays…
Call it what you want – these are not miles. This is just another marketing ploy ala Capital One Venture Card. Like someone had already mentioned, this offer is for suckers. $440 for a hard pull? C'mon. That's outrageous. You should settle for no less than $1000 in value from these crooked banks.
400 rebate on 1000 spend NOT bad. that is 40 % rebate
Adam: yes, the Priceline card is a good option for 2% returns
Jim006: even when traveling on miles and points, there are many travel expenses that come up. Examples: fees for redeeming miles, parking, airport transportation, etc.
Jason: you can apply for multiple barclay cards at once and only get one pull. $440 for $1000k spend is great.
PJ: agreed
FM, how can you apply for multiple Barclay cards simultaneously and only experience one hard pull? What's the procedure? That's definitely something I'd be interested in.
Steve: I haven't yet done it myself, but I believe that as long as you apply for multiple cards in one day, Barclays will combine the pulls into just one hard pull. To be safe, open the applications in separate browsers and apply as close in-time to each as possible.
My wife just got an offer in the mail today for this card with 89 fee waived first year and 50k for 1k spend. Looks like she will be getting a new card this evening.
chris p: Ooh, 50K is even better! Congrats.
Can you get giftcards with these points? At what ratio? Are these the World Mastercard points that BofA cards give?
duhmel: I don't know
Although my wife received the targeted Barclays Arrive 50k no fee offer in the mail, I only received the 20k no fee offer. The two offers include two different URLs and of course two different invitation codes. I would love to get the card for my wife and then apply using her URL or invitation code. Has anyone tried this? I see two options:
1) I could use the URL on my wife's offer but enter in my own invitation code. As a test, I tried this (without finalizing the application), and I do get the banners for the 50k offer. However, I am not sure if entering my invitation code will trigger the 20k offer in the system.
2) I could use the URL on my wife's offer and her invitation code, but then change the application information to be for me. I haven't tested this yet (I am at work without the mailing in front of me) but I do believe that you can edit the pre-filled fields.
If no one has tried this yet, which option do you think gives me the best shot at the 50k? Thanks very much.
Jason: I don't know for sure, but my guess is that option 2 is more likely to work.
[…] earns 2.22% back towards travel for all purchases (or 2% cash back). See my post "Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard" for details. My wife received a targeted 40K offer for this card (which has expired), […]
[…] back. There are several good 2% cash back cards out there (the best of which, I think, is Barclays' Arrival World MasterCard which actually earns better than 2% if you cash in for travel) so I like to use 2% as the cash-back […]

Two years after being privatized, SonicWall finds new life at the hands of Dell, which gains an enterprise-class firewall. SonicWall gains wider distribution
The private equity company that owns firewall manufacturer SonicWall Inc. has shaken hands on an offer to be bought by Dell Inc., which wants to broaden its security solutions.
The companies said Tuesday that the deal, expected to close later this year, will add to Dell's SecureWorks managed security services, KACE vulnerability and patch management systems, cloud security solutions and data encryption solutions, the company said. Terms were not disclosed.
Thoma Bravo LLC led an investor group including the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan that took SonicWall private in 2010 for about US$717 million.
At the time, said Forrester Research security analyst John Kindervag, SonicWall wasn't marketing its products well to enterprises. Now, with Dell [Nasdaq: DELL] behind it, that will change.
"It gives Dell a more enterprise security play," he said, and helps reduce the company's dependency on the PC market.
Last year Dell bought switch manufacturer Force 10 Networks, Kindervag also noted. "If they can figure how to integrate, it could be a significant play for people who want another choice in integrated security and networking other than Cisco, Juniper, HP."
Founded in 1991, SonicWall makes the SuperMassive next-generation firewalls and NSA- and TZ-series unified threat management appliances.
SonicWall products are sold through 15,000 resellers around the world, and Dell plans to add to that through its PartnerDirect program.
In the same release, SonicWall CEO Matt Medeiros said the deal "allows us to accelerate growth of our flagship SuperMassive Next-Generation Firewall solutions with large Enterprise customers."
Dell's reach will also help SonicWall expand opportunities with small and medium-sized customers, he added.Related Download

Review: Coriolanus (2011)
Ralph Fiennes
John Logan (Play: William Shakespeare)
122 min.
Gerard Butler, Ralph Fiennes, Brian Cox, John Kani, Dragan Micanovic, Jessica Chastain, Vanessa Redgrave, Paul Jesson, James Nesbitt

Source Material
Is it any wonder that Coriolanus remains one of the least known plays the Bard wrote? Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut does little to persuade those unfamiliar with the material to wonder why it remains limitedly popular.
Like the 1995 film version of Richard III, Fiennes takes Coriolanus out of its historical setting, that of the Roman Empire shortly after the expulsion of the Tarquin kings, the last line of hereditary rules of Rome, at least bearing the nominal title king. Gaius Marcius Coriolanus (Fiennes), a figure whose historical legitimacy is currently in doubt, is portrayed here as a Roman-loyal general whose valor on the battlefield is celebrated and his notoriety leads him towards a high ranking appointment in Roman leadership. The Senate does not particularly care for his leadership style and begins a campaign of disinformation and fear mongering that cause Coriolanus' personal remarks opposing the idiocy of the Roman people to be used as a sword to bring down his reign, sending him into exile where his former opponent, Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler), to become his ally.
Fiennes' fiery performance fits what I would expect from an overzealous Shakespearean actor, yet his character is unlikable, unrelatable and his ultimate death (it's Shakespeare, you know it's coming) is unemotional. Not playing up sentimentality is an admirable trait, but when the entire film lacks a sense of emotional attachment, any lack of resonance creates a vaccuum for the audience. Butler, on the other hand paints a vivid portrait of a courageous rebel. His lack of interest in the grace and success of Coriolanus when he comes crawling into his war room is well played. I almost wonder how Butler has managed to deliver so many shamefully bad performances when he's obviously capable of great things.
There are two powerhouses here who easily outshine their co-stars. The first is Brian Cox whose Menenius may have some over-the-top moments, but as the faithful and unswerving advisor to Coriolanus, his performance seems perfectly fit to the role. You can see the schemes and machinations running through his head and being dashed along the pavement as Coriolanus seems incapable of living up to Menenius' lofty expectations.
Yet, even Cox can't compare to the luminous Vanessa Redgrave. As Coriolanus' controlling and manipulative mother Volumnia, Redgrave perfectly captures every single scene she's in, portraying, a quietly desperate, but convicted matriarch bent on her son's rise to fame and power like others in their vaunted family's history. She's a proud mother, but one who doesn't easily take slight at her son's successes and failures. In her most important scene, her final one, she pleads with her headstrong son to return to Rome and reclaim his rightful position at the head of the state. She doesn't resort to exaggerated theatrics, which makes the ferocity of her performance all the more powerful.
As a director, Fiennes does a satisfactory job drawing the audience into the film, though the out-of-period dialogue is entirely distracting for the first quarter of the film. Once you get into the meat of it, it becomes less noticeable, much like the aforementioned Richard III. Yet, the key difference here is that Richard III had a mesmerizing lead performance by Ian McKellen to keep the audience enthralled by his twisting narrative. Here, while Fiennes does fine directing himself, another director might have been able to rein in his overindulgences and make him a more humane figure. Not that McKellen's Richard III was very humane, but there are points in that film where you root for his success even when his actions are vicious.
Fiennes never allows himself to infuse the character with a personality that helps the audience adore him regardless of his actions. It's a role that might have been done better by another actor, but the ultimate limitations of the work itself are unlikely to have created an adequate environment for such development, which only serves to showcase once again why few are familiar with Shakespeare's tragic play.

Not effective and very irritating. Whether you have dry/sensitive skin or oily/acne prone skin this is not a good toner. It burns and stings and later I had more oil on my oily areas and added dryness on my normal skin. The amount of alcohol in here is ridiculous.

Great! Love the new formula, it smells better and its not as strong so it's not as harsh and drying as the old formula in the light green bottle. I have nothing bad to say about biore products except they seem to have stopped making lotions which sucks. Anyways this astringent is fresh, it has alcohol and possibly witch hazel in it which makes it great for tightening those pores and getting rid of acne. I love this product Ive literally been using it for years. Only complaint about new bottle, the way the bottle or cap is made Im not sure which is the problem but no matter how you tip it into the palm of your hand the product leaks all down the cap and down the side of the bottle, my friend thinks Biore did that on purpose to make people waste more product which would make people need to buy more astringent sooner rather than later but maybe its just an honest mistake.. so use a cotton ball or if you prefer to put on astringent with your hands put some of this into another squeeze bottle that doesn't leak and spill so you don't waste product.

I love this astringent. It helped get rid of acne I was getting on my chin and my skin felt very clean after using this. It has a menthol feeling to it and also contains alcohol so it may be a little harsh for some people, but I didn't find that and I have extremely sensitive skin, although I do use a thick moisturizer after using this. I highly recommend it for anyone with acne or the occasional pimple. I don't think I've had one pimple since I started using this!

This is a review for the Biore Blemish Fighting astringent and this is an EXCELLENT toner/astringent. It thoroughly cleans your face, taking off all the gunk, oil residue, dirt, etc. The salicylic acid in it helps clear your face, stop pimples and just all-around CLEAN your pores. My skin always feels very clean after using this. I've tried other toners out there, but Biore is the only one that does a good job in cleaning the pores.
I have combination/oily skin and this NEVER dries me out. And it helps in reducing oil, my face is always shine-free/oil-free after using it. For the first week of use, it will sting a little bit, because your pores are reacting to it initially. The price is also very doable, available for under 10 bucks.

I like this for the occasional pimple as it has salicylic acid, but it is just too harsh for my sensitive skin. It burns a little when I first put it on and dries out my skin. I think I will try something different next time (I LOVE Clinique toner, but it's expensive).

First time I had used this, I hated it. It really dried up my face! I had to apply night cream on, twice. The next day I broke out. So I left it until the break outs went away and gave it another go. Luckily I did because it has definitely helped keep my breakouts at bay. I have been using this for a month now, once a day (sometimes I miss days cause I'm not home). The only other thing I have changed in my routine is drinking more water. This could be why but I still believe that this toner has helped. I didn't use it for 5 days and I got a pimple on my chin. First big blemish since I have used it! I can't compare this toner to others unfortunately but give it a go if you're looking or one. It's inexpensive.

Biore has discontinued this product and it's now called the "Blemish Fighting Astringent". I've never used this product, but their new astringent is amazing! I use it along with their pore unclogging scrub and my skin feels so much better! It's smoother, less oily and my pore sizes have decreased. And most importantly, I have seen such improvement in my acne! A must buy for sure!

I love this stuff. While looking at my almost empty bottle, I am so sad it's discontinued.
The Bioré site says that their "Blemish Treating Astringent" is their new replacement. I don't like the smell and it doesn't feel the same to me. I doubt it, but maybe it's because I don't have acne? I use it to take residue of cleansers, makeup removers, and errant hair-care products off my skin. However, I do use it a lot more in the summer when I get home from wherever I've been since I rarely wear makeup in the heat.

The current reign of Rochester Mayor Tom Richards won't last long. The acting mayor, sworn in on January 1, said Tuesday he will resign. Richards wants to avoid the distractions of a federal inquiry into whether his candidacy in an upcoming special election violates a decades-old law governing public employees.
Walking away, however, is the last thing Richards intends.
The former city attorney and deputy mayor, was appointed acting mayor after Bob Duffy was sworn in as New York's Lt. Governor. He announced his resignation at a hastily-assembled news conference at City Hall Tuesday morning.
"I believe in my heart the best thing to do here is for me to resign," said Richards.
The resignation is effective Thursday, and Richards says he will focus his efforts on the upcoming special election for mayor.
With a federal inquiry looming into whether his candidacy in the special election violated the federal Hatch Act, Richards said he didn't want the issue to distract from city business.
"I do not want that to be the subject we talk about for the next three months," said Richards.
The Hatch Act prohibits some municipal employees from seeking political office, especially those who oversee federal money, or whose job is federally funded. Richards says he's not in violation. Still, he doesn't want to risk possible fines, which could be charged to the city if an inquiry determined laws were violated.
"I came here to help the city, and not to have it risk fines or penalties," said Richards. "The possible loss of even one federal dollar is too much to risk."
Jim McTiernan, head of the city firefighters union, filed the Hatch Act complaint in mid-December, two days after city council -- in a behind-closed-doors meeting -- voted five to four in favor of a special election to replace Duffy. McTiernan favors a general election. He expects Richards decision will prompt more candidates to run for mayor.
"Maybe we can open the process a little more now," said McTiernan. "Council has to do some soul searching as to how it ever got out of control like this."
Richards resignation means Rochester will have had three mayors in three weeks. Under city charter, neighborhood and business development director Carlos Carballada becomes acting mayor.
"I'm doing this out of respect for (Tom) because I know what he's trying to do for the city," said Carballada. "I believe he is the right person at this time for the city."
Richards says his decision to resign effectively puts an end to both the Hatch Act complaint, and the inquiry – a point confirmed by a spokesman for the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Richards and others question the motive, as to why the complaint was filed in the first place.
"To call this an absurd application of the law would be an insult to all the absurd things in the world," said Joe Morelle, State Assemblyman and head of the Monroe County Democratic Committee. Morelle says by quitting to focus on the special election, Richards is taking the high road.
"Tom Richards stepping down today to run for mayor is exactly the reason Tom Richards ought to be mayor," said Morelle. "He's thoughtful and prudent. He's putting the city interests first instead of his own interests."
City council must still set a date for the special election. It is expected to be held March 29, a point council expects to finalize when it meets next week.
"I think we have to get back to doing the business of the citizens," said Lovely Warren, city council president. "I think this issue and others have clouded the work we need to do on behalf of our citizens."
Last month, at Warren's urging, council postponed a vote on setting a special election date, after the Hatch Act complaint and inquiry came to light.
Richards believes he could have fought the Hatch Act complaint, and won. But, he says, that would have distracted from real issues, like downtown development, crime and poverty -- in a city facing a potential $50 million deficit.
He's stepping down -- but certainly has no plans to leave.
"I'm committed to seeing this through," said Richards. "I'm in it to stay, and in it to win."
Former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson responded to Mayor Richards' resignation.In a statement, Johnson said:
"The implications of this announcement are very troubling. It presumes that City Council will proceed with plans to call for a special election this winter, rather than prevailing upon Mr. Richards to 'act as mayor' for the balance of this year, in order to allow for a more orderly fall election under the City Charter. Today's announcement presumes the continuing denial to the citizens of this community of their most fundamental right to freely elect the candidate of their choice for the most important elective office in the city."

Game Description
When the true power of a sword is only unlocked through human sacrifice, you know you're in for over-the-top action. The shoot-em-up masters at Cave set their sights on swordplay in this epic set in a world that parallels early 20th century Japan. The empire has conquered nearby countries using Blood Swords, blades that require a human sacrifice to unlock their full power. Now, the warriors who wield them have questioned the bloody grab for power. Rise up and use swords and fighter planes to battle the very empire you helped build. Choose from three modes: Arcade Mode, Slash Mode, and Climax Mode in arcade-style play geared for action overload.

Swift's History
Click here to learn more about Swift's history.
Swift Transportation began operations in 1966 transporting imported steel through the ports of Los Angeles to Arizona and Arizona cotton for export back through to Southern California.
Jerry Moyes, founder, began with the same entrepreneurial, can-do spirit that is one of Swift's core values today. The original operation was conducted under the name of Common Market. Operating authority was purchased from a descendant of the Swift Meat Packing family, hence, today's name of Swift Transportation. Jerry, with his father, brother and a partner, grew the business, with typical start up challenges, to a $25 million annual revenue in 1984. With the passing of Jerry's father, Carl Moyes, Jerry became the sole owner. By 1990, Swift had grown to a $125 million carrier with 800 trucks. Swift's significant revenue growth is attributable to internal growth with existing customers as well as acquisitions. Since 1988, Swift has acquired 11 different motor carriers. Today, Swift generates over $3.4 billion in revenue and operates over 16,000 trucks.
Swift's terminal network has grown to over forty full service facilities in both the continental United States and Mexico. Swift owns 100% of Trans-Mex, a Nuevo Laredo, Mexico based carrier. Swift offers border crossing services at all major Mexican border crossings. Swift maintains a presence in every Canadian province each day. Swift is unquestionably the largest truckload motor carrier in the world.
