Here's the advance read on the notable new real-estate retail deals going down in Spokane, and Cheney.
Jarms Hardware takes new space
Jarms True Value Hardware is moving to a new location at 6 Cheney-Spokane Road, next to the Trading Company Grocery.
The hardware business has operated at 1720 Second in Cheney for more than 35 years.
The new location will address the store's need for more space, totaling just over 22,000 square feet.
Expected move-in date is this summer, depending on the sale or lease of the current property, a press release said.
Colin Conway of Kiemle & Hagood will handle the lease or sale of the existing hardware store.
Bruchi's plans South Hill return
Bruce Greene, founder of the Bruchi's sandwich shops in Spokane, will reopen a new store at one of his former South Hill sites.
Greene, who started the sandwich retail chain in 1980 in Spokane, will open a new store at 2804 E. 29th.
That address featured a Bruchi's until it was closed several years ago. The business that took that spot, Gridiron Subs, closed its doors in 2012.
Greene has not set an opening date for the location.
Darren Slackman and Chris Bell represented the landlord, Harlan Douglass, and Greene. Both agents work at NAI Black.
Therm-All's Spokane Valley production building has relocated to the former Triple R Auction building at 107 N. Park Ave.
Until recently the insulation company operated out of a warehouse at 2902 E. Boone Ave. The new site has roughly 7,600 square feet.
Therm-All provides insulation to steel buildings and commercial customers. It's been in business in the area since the late 1980s.
Earl Engle of NAI Black and Mark Lucas of Kiemle & Hagood brokered the deal.
Rosa Pizza owner Brad Barsness said he plans to open his first Spokane pizza place in four to six weeks.
Barsness has operated two pizza take-out-or-deliver places in Cheney and in Airway Heights.
The first Spokane Rosa Pizza is going into 1,300 square feet at 3422 N. Division.
Barsness said he's considered getting a Spokane location for a while. "I finally decided to take advantage of it," he said.
The new shop will be open daily and employ 15 people, he added.
Don Jamieson represented landlord Harlan Douglass and Brian Anderson represented Barsness. Both work with Spokane's NAI Black agency.
Spokane Realtor Jared Miller has purchased a vacant office and storage space at 714 E. Pacific Ave., east of downtown.
Miller said he paid $210,000 to Inland Northwest Bank, which took over the building in a foreclosure. The previous occupant was Northwest Floral Design.
The 5,700-square- foot building includes about 800 square feet of refrigerated storage area, Miller said.
He intends to lease the property through his company, Properties One. Chris Bell of NAI Black represented Inland Northwest Bank in the deal.
Today's quick Spokesman-Review story on a Liberty Lake location for Camping World had the basics, but didn't have every key detail.
The former Mastercraft building in Liberty Lake has been acquired for a new Camping World store, according to the company that brokered the deal.
Camping World, based in Bowling Green, Ky., is one of the nation's bigger sellers of RV equipment, camping equipment and RV merchandise. It's taking over the building used by Mastercraft as its main area showroom and dealership for a line of power boats.
The address is 19651 E. Cataldo.
Camping World will lease the 10,800-square foot facility from Oppidan Investment, a Minnesota firm that will be the project developer. Oppidan paid about $1.8 million for the building, said Chris Bell of NAI Black. Bell represented the seller, Wayne Sorensen, in the transaction.
This will be the first store operated by Camping World in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area. The company has more than 75 stores in more than 30 states.
Oppidan is expected to begin tenant improvements later this month.
Ibex Flooring will move from its current spot, at 702 N.
Owners Ashli and Nathan Myers are buying the 10,000-square-foot building, which roughly doubles the space they have now.
The move is expected to be finished by late February. The company provides commercial flooring, including ceramic tile and carpet.
The purchase was brokered by NAI Blacks' Chris Bell, representing U.S. Bank, which owned the building, and Dick and Kevin Edwards of Hawkins Edwards, representing the Myers.
Judie and Ryan Sowards are leasing a downtown Spokane storefront for a new Euro-styled creperie called Beignets, in the Crescent Building, at 707 W. Main.
The mother-son team believes Spokane foodies are ready for a place that full-service business that serves thin, French-inspired crepes and other lunch and dinner items. They plan to open the business in June.
Ryan Sowards said the name is meant to convey atmosphere and variety. Diners will be served fresh beignets — deep-fried pastries — before the entree, he said.
They're leasing 3,800 square feet at in the back side of the building, directly behind Madeleine's Cafe. It's The Sowards are taking the space once used by Cucina, Cucina.
They plan to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Stephen Pohl and Jon Jeffreys represented property owner Red Tail LLC. Chris Bell represented the Sowards. All three work with NAI Bla
It's taken Patrick McPherson pretty much a full year getting his new business, the Manito Tap House, open.
McPherson, who hails from the Tri-Cities, started the process of converting the former Pear Tree Inn at Manito Shopping Center back in fall of 2010. The Pear Tree was shut down as part of the arrival of Ross Dress for Less — which has plans for an opening later this year.
He just opened the Tap House, at 3011 S. Grand Blvd., two Fridays ago. Due to remodeling delays and city code issues, McPherson simply couldn't move the project along as fast as he'd hoped.
Anyone have photos of the interior to share? If so, we'll give full credit here on Office Hours blog.
McPherson said the Manito Tap House hours are 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 11 to close Friday and Saturday. It's closed on Tuesdays.
Last year the managers of the South Hill Manito Center said a new Ross Dress for Less store would open this summer, taking over the large, empty former Gottshalks building.
Now the plan is to open the store before the start of the back-to-school shopping season. Ross is a clothing retailer and wants to take advantage of that buying season.
That plan was slowed down for two reasons. Removal of asbestos took longer than expected, after crews came into the building and began the first stages of demolition.
And the store design process was extended due ongoing discussions between Ross corporate officials and the architecture team, Spokane's Bernardo Wills.
John Bennett, the president of manager Black Realty Management, said the asbestos removal added "maybe just two weeks" more to the conversion timeline.
The design review process was a larger factor in the delay, Bennett said. "They (Ross Stores) are very involved in the design review," he said.
Vandervert Construction is handling the demolition and preparation of the Ross portion of the building. Bennett said the plan is to hand over the building to Ross by the end of August. An opening date by Ross has not been set, and efforts to get more information from Ross Dress for Less have not succeeded.
A new restaurant-pub will be going into the space in Manito Shopping Center last used by Pear Tree Inn. The owner of the new pub wants to lie low just a week or so longer; we'll talk with the owner and provide some of the details within the next 10 days.
Meanwhile, here's the recap of what's happening in the center, courtesy of NAI Black broker Colin Conway.
Of course, Ross Dress for Less is taking a large portion of the old Gottschalk's Building there.
On the main level, the former Red Carpet Travel space, next to the Pear Tree, is available. It has about 1,500 square feet, said Conway.
Also for lease is roughly 12,000 square feet in the upper corner of the Ross building. Conway said he's working with possible tenants but nothing's been firmed up.

The singers were very good, but couldn't understand all the words. The songs were funny, but it panned so many shows, I had to ask people who had gone to them if it were true. They concentrated on newer productions, none of which I had seen. Now I won't go. Bk of Mormon, "20 min of hilarity, the rest cursing", was the only one I had considered.

Trident Unveils The World's First Integrated 240 Hz Digital TV SoC For Android-Based Smart Televisions
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trident Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRID), a leading provider of set-top box and TV semiconductor solutions, today announced its new Fusion HiDTV family of DTV system-on-chips (SoCs) designed for the next generation of Smart-TVs with 200/240Hz video frame rate capabilities running on the Android platform.

"We believe that the Fusion HiDTV family will fuel our growth in the highly connected Smart TV market segments with its outstanding CPU and graphics performance, superior picture quality, 3D performance and 21:9 cinemascope viewing ability," said Dr. Bami Bastani, CEO and President of Trident. "The TV market continues to be driven by new innovations such as connectivity and 3D, and Trident is well positioned to lead this technology evolution with its feature-rich TV platform."
About the Fusion HiDTV FamilyThe Fusion HiDTV family is a highly integrated SoC platform that includes multiple CPUs, ATSC/DVB-T/DVB-C/ISDB-T and analog demodulators, a secure programmable transport stream demultiplexer, a high performance 3D graphics engine, a 3D-TV-capable multi-standard multi-stream HD video decoder, an HD video encoder, and a programmable audio decoder with post processor that supports several of Trident's industry-leading audio processing algorithms.

The Second Avenue subway is on track as it reached a new construction milestone Thursday.
The 485-ton tunnel boring machine completed its second pass from 92nd Street and Second Avenue, breaking through into an existing tunnel at the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street station.
It completes more than two miles of tunnels that will provide Q train service from 96th to 63rd Streets.
The long delayed project will alleviate overcrowding and delays on the 4, 5 and 6 lines, and eventually go from 125th Street down to Hanover Square, just south of Wall Street.
Some East Side residents and business owners are worried about the effects the construction could have on air quality in the area.
Area entrepreneurs also say construction has forced more than than 30 businesses to close, and the ones that remain battle disruption and debris.
"We are hurting, apartments are not renting like they used to, business is down," said a local business owner. "I can feel it. It's difficult to breath and I see the dust and the dirt," said a local resident.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says it is doing what it can to curb those concerns and will shortly announce details on an air quality monitoring program.
"We've taken great steps in terms of building enclosures to try to be able to deal with noise and air quality, we'll continue to work with residents in any way we can," said MTA Chairman & CEO Jay Walder.
The next step in the $4.5 billion project will include installing the tracks, signals and communication systems.
MTA officials say the first phase of the subway line is scheduled to begin service in December 2016.
"I believe we'll deliver that. We're right now totally on schedule," said MTA Capital Construction President Michael Horodniceanu.
However, a federal study says the project will cost nearly $400 million more and take an extra two years.

Comcast 2Q earnings top views on Internet hookupsJuly 22, 2014 @ 10:48 am
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Comcast's second-quarter net income rose 15 percent to nearly $2 billion as it added high-speed Internet customers at a faster pace and video subscriber losses moderated.
The nation's largest cable provider topped Wall Street estimates and shares edged up in afternoon trading.
The nation's largest cable provider said Tuesday that net income rose to $1.99 billion, or 76 cents per share, up from $1.73 billion, or 65 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding a gain on its sale of a stake in set-top box maker Arris Group Inc. and other items, Comcast posted adjusted earnings of 75 cents per share, beating the 72 cents expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
Revenue grew nearly 4 percent to $16.84 billion, short of the $16.95 billion that analysts were looking for. Revenue a year ago was $16.27 billion.
Jefferies & Co. analyst Mike McCormack said the quarter was healthy as cable continued to perform well and NBC Universal grew more profitable.
Cable hookup revenue, up 5 percent at $11.03 billion, was slightly better than expected, but NBCUniversal revenue, flat at $6.02 billion, was less than analysts predicted.
Comcast Corp. is in the midst of a regulatory review of its proposed $45.2 billion acquisition of No. 2 cable company Time Warner Cable Inc. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts said in a call with analysts that the FCC began a 180-day review period on July 10, and the company expects to have a shareholder vote on the acquisition in the fall.
The company added a net 203,000 Internet customers since the last quarter, bringing the number to 21.3 million. That's 8 percent more than it added in the same period a year ago.
It lost 144,000 video customers, ending up with 22.5 million. The video losses broke two quarters of gains, but the company said it was largely due to the seasonal pattern of college students leaving school and vacationers from Canada disconnecting before heading back up north. The losses were not as bad as the 162,000 it lost in the same period a year ago.
The average customer bill rose 4.5 percent to $137.24 per month after 2 percent price hike at the beginning of the year. Customers were also adding more services and business client revenues rose.
At NBCUniversal, advertising revenue fell 2 percent to $2.19 billion. The talent show "The Voice" aired earlier than usual in the season to benefit from following the Winter Olympics, which reduced the number of hours it was aired during the second quarter.
Film revenue fell 15 percent to $1.18 billion, but operating profit rose compared with a year ago when it spent heavily to launch the films "Fast & Furious 6" and "Despicable Me 2."
Free cash flow at Comcast fell 41 percent to $1.16 billion as it spent money shipping more of its latest-generation set-top boxes and prepared for a big box office year in 2015 with films like "Jurassic World," ''Ted 2," and "Fifty Shades of Grey."
Comcast shares rose $1, or 1.9 percent, to $54.82 in afternoon trading.

Performance Comparison Between Filters and Wavelet Transform in Image Denoising for Different Noises
Free registration required
Executive Summary
An image is often corrupted by noise in its acquisition and transmission. Removing noise from the original image is still a challenging problem for researchers. In this paper, three types of noise (Gaussian noise, Salt & Pepper noise and Speckle noise) is used and image de-noising is performed for different noises by Median filter and Wiener filter, Linear Statistical filter, Symlet Wavelet. Further results have been compared for all noises between different filters and Symlet wavelet Transform. Further results have been compared for all noises.

Children donned sports wear all for a good cause
Posted: March 21, 2014|
UTTOXETER children pulled on their sports wear and got active for the day all in the name of a national charity effort.
Sporty events and dressing up took place at Uttoxeter schools for Sport Relief, as school children enthusiastically took part in the fun and games, all in aid of disadvantaged people in the UK and abroad.
John Skinner, head of PE at Oldfields Hall Middle School, said: "We had a number of games going on at lunchtime; basketball shootings, the howler throw and ball in a bucket to name just a few.
"It cost 20p to have a go all in aid of the charity.
"We also held an inter-house tug-of-war competition which went down very well apart from when it started raining.
"We would estimate to have raised about £1,000 as everyone dressed up and paid a pound.
"Everyone was very enthusiastic."
Christina Friday, class teacher and PE co-ordinator at St Mary's First School said: "It went really really well. We all walked a mile which was eight laps of the school field and we were all very enthusiastic to raise money for a great cause.
"Everyone wore sports wear for the day and even the teachers joined in wearing retro 80s themed sports wear, sweatbands and all."
A spokesman for Windsor Park Middle School said: "Pupils took part in play, dance and playground games, skipping, cat and mouse chase games along with competitive and non-competitive activities.
"Encouraging these activities means that even the non-sporty feel the want to have a go.
"The head of the lunchtime supervisors encourages her staff to play and supervise games and activities on a regular basis.
"We feel it is important to look at local, regional, national and global similarities and differences that young people experience, to give a greater understanding as young citizens to the work of Sports Relief."

Eli Manning's Dog Chester Has a Summer Job: Lifeguard

Just like his quarterback dad, Eli Manning's dog, Chester, has to be quick on his feet.
"He has two babies running around, and so, finally, the oldest has stopped grabbing the tail, but he's got a new 1-year-old," the New York Giants quarterback says of his daughters, Ava, 3, and Lucy, who turns one on June 17. "But he's gotten used to that and understands – he's been sweet and doing great."
Though an ankle injury sidelined the athlete last season, he was given the all-clear to hit the green at New York's Mount Kisco Country Club on Monday for the 37th Annual Guiding Eyes for the Blind Golf Classic, where he putted with a blindfold over his eyes to see exactly what it's like to play with a visual impairment (watch him swing in the video below).
The 33-year-old football player – and dog lover! – also met pups who serve as the eyes for so many people, like 20-month-old Jansen (left), a yellow Lab and guide dog-in-training.

Come Sunday, a Manning will step out onto the field at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., in an attempt to win another Super Bowl ring – but it won't be Eli.
Instead, the New York Giants quarterback's older brother, Peyton, will be vying for his second Super Bowl championship at the home stadium of his brother's team, and that's just the way Eli likes it.
"If I'm not going to be able to play in a Super Bowl in my own stadium, there's no one else I'd rather than Peyton to play in it," Eli told PEOPLE on Wednesday while appearing at a promotional event for Purina Pro Plan. "I'm excited for him."

The greatest day in sports will soon be upon us: This Sunday, the Denver Broncos will face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. If you're a football fan, you already knew all that. And if you're not, you probably don't care.
Well, Peyton Manning is here to change that. You don't need to study his stats or read up on why cold weather could hurt his chances, nothing like that. Instead, in five short clips, he'll convince you he deserves your support by mastering the second most important part of Sunday's match-up: the commercials.
Manning has become synonymous with the many comedic TV spots he's filmed over the years. Here, we present his five best:

There's probably nothing dogs love more than a good game of fetch with their owner – but what if the person throwing the ball is two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning?
Lucky for Chester, the King Charles Cavalier who calls Manning dad, there's no reason to be intimidated about his performance as a receiver.
"He's good at fetch and we do a lot of that," Manning told PEOPLE Wednesday in New York while participating in Purina Pro Plan's MANning vs. DOG Challenge. "He's pretty good. He can find it and he can go get it. He's got good speed and good agility."

Eli Manning & Abby McGrew Show Off Their Condo

Giants quarterback Eli Manning and his wife Abby McGrew could throw a sensational Super Bowl party if they wanted to.
While their 3,000-square-foot Hoboken, N.J., condo isn't as enormous as some celebrity cribs, they recently gave the apartment an ultra-high-tech makeover, showcased in Electronic House magazine.
Touch-screen pads are everywhere, allowing 27-year-old Manning's MVP fingers to adjust everything from music in the shower to the video on his 63-inch plasma TV. "I can control anything I want," Manning, who wed college sweetheart McGrew, 24, in April, told the magazine.
There's even a James Bond-like bar that appears out of a pillar in his living room. With the Giants at 4-0, the champ is clearly chilling out in style.

Fannie and Freddie Policy Shift May Ease Mortgage Credit
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) are easing up on the standards that must be met for banks to avoid future legal claims, a move aimed at making it easier for people to get a mortgage.
The government sponsored entities (GSEs) have recovered billions in dollars from banks after requiring them to repurchase bad mortgages.
Under new standards unveiled Monday, mortgages that pass a quality control review will be indemnified from repurchase claims. The review process allows the seller or servicer of the mortgage (a bank, in many cases) to cure deficient loan files and still qualify for the relief. Loans failing the quality control review can still get relief if the borrower pays their mortgage on time for 36 months with no more than two late payments provided no payment is more than 60 days late.
In addition, mortgages on which insurance gets cancelled (known in the industry as recission) will no longer automatically trigger a claim from the GSEs. Instead, the seller of the mortgage will be able to work with Fannie or Freddie on alternatives to repurchase.FBR Capital Markets analyst Ed Mills argued in a report Tuesday that recissions "should be less of an issue going forward, as the mortgage insurance industry has been moving towards clarity of coverage arrangements that limit rescissions." Mills argues the policy shift "should help remove one of the largest overhangs" on the housing recovery. wrote Tuesday on his blog, Confounded Interest. Follow @dan_freed

A creative take on franchising.
By Elaine W. Teague
It was the early '70s when Linda Perlmutter made the transition from art supervisor for New York City Public Schools to stay-at-home mom. She now had a schedule flexible enough to continue her love of teaching art--this time in her own home studio.
From those humble beginnings came Odyssey Art Centers, now in its third year, a fine arts education franchise offering art history-based creative expression and art skills for children and adults. And what began in Perlmutter's home is now offered in several East Coast home studios.
In contrast to a crafts-type curriculum, says Perlmutter, "it's a learning center." A four-week summer program and three 10-week sessions are held yearly, each year featuring a theme (such as Greek art) with specific media (such as clay) used in each session.
And here's a tip for potential franchisees: Keep a travel bag packed, thanks to the new Art at Sea program. "We've been asked by a major cruise line to teach [classes onboard]," says Perlmutter, "but we don't have enough teachers to fill their needs."

Dear Community Member,
As we have seen in the news recently, the effects of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, to include Sierra Leone are devastating. It is particularly concerning that so many heads of households are dying. We received the needs list from the Sierra Leone Embassy in Washington D.C. They are asking for items such as hand sanitizers, soaps, and surgical masks and gloves. (Needs List)
On Saturday, September 13, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Bethel A.M.E. Church at 450-512 East Strawberry Street Lancaster, PA 17602, we will be collecting monetary donations and items (please no clothes).
"Join us for fellowship and expertly grilled summer favorites as we raise funds to assist
in the humanitarian effort to reduce the devastating effects of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa," says John R. Scala, PhD CCM, Private Weather Consultant, WGAL-TV (NBC) Meteorologist.
We will sell grilled food, baked goods, water and will donate the funds to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Washington D.C. They will in turn donate the proceeds from the fundraiser to a partnering church in Sierra Leone. One hundred percent (100%) of the donations received will go to Sierra Leone. I repeat 100%.
Join us in helping people in need. We thank you in advance for your support. Special thanks to our corporate partners who have made a donation: Comcast, Capital BlueCross, Frito Lay's, WGAL, and Giant Food Stores. Also, special thanks to Bethel A.M. E. for hosting this worthwhile cause at such a short notice.
Should you like more information, please call Andrew Marshall at (717) 278-8547.

Is it supposed to be entertaining, educational or informative? The movies weakest link is its total lack of character development - do we really care about these people & the mindless thugs who inflict gratuitous & horrific violence on an innocent couple? There is no plot - no story & the harrowing finale leaves a very unsatisfied & bitter taste in you mouth & will haunt your darkest dreams. Avoid...!!!

I slow cooked 2 pot roasts in the crockpot yesterday after purchasing them buy one get one free. I defatted and froze one. The other, I shredded and made a pot of stew from leftover roasted veggies and steamed green beans.
I�m onto making some nice habits!!
...spreading email jokes....
Why I'm divorced . . .
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning..
I went downstairs for breakfast
hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
'Happy Birthday!',
and possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out,
she barely said good morning,
let alone
' Happy Birthday.'
I thought....
Well, that's marriage for you,
but the kids....
They will remember.
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast
and didn't say a word..
So when I left for the office,
I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office,
my secretary Jane said,
'Good Morning Boss, and by the way
Happy Birthday ! '
It felt a little better
that at least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock ,
when Jane knocked on my door
and said, 'You know,
It's such a beautiful day outside,
and it is your Birthday,
what do you say we go out to lunch,
just you and me..'
I said, 'Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing
I've heard all day. Let's go !'
We went to lunch.
But we didn't go where we normally would go.
She chose instead at a quiet bistro
with a private table.
We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office,
Jane said, 'You know,
It's such a beautiful day...
We don't need to go straight back to the office,
Do We ?'
I responded, 'I guess not.
What do you have in mind ?'
She said,
'Let's drop by my apartment,
it's just around the corner..'
After arriving at her apartment,
Jane turned to me and said,
' Boss, if you don't mind,
I'm going to step into the bedroom
for just a moment.
I'll be right back.'
'Ok.' I nervously replied.
She went into the bedroom and,
after a couple of minutes,
she came out
carrying a huge birthday cake ...
by my wife, my kids,
and dozens of my friends
and co-workers,
all singing 'Happy Birthday'.
And I just sat there....
On the couch....
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The even ing was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!
I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.
Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.
The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).
;In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours,
Essay on cognitive dissonance and (a little) on living outside the present
Here are my thoughts on my way to EMOTIONAL MASTERY. CAPITALIZED TEXT IS MINE.
Cognitive dissonance is �an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously�.
Dissonance is often reduced by justifying, blaming, and denying� - BUT WHY NOT CHANGE BEHAVIOR TO RESOLVE DISSONANCE???? I MUST KEEP FROM JUSTIFYING AND DENYING BY ACCURATE TRACKING OF NUTRITION AND EXERCISE. I WILL NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP OF JUSTIFYING, BLAMING, & DENYING
�Using it
Cognitive dissonance is central to many forms of persuasion to change beliefs, values, attitudes and behaviors. The tension can be injected suddenly or allowed to build up over time. People can be moved in many small jumps or one large one.
When you start feeling uncomfortable, stop and see if you can find the inner conflict. Then notice how that came about. If it was somebody else who put that conflict there, you can decide not to play any more with them�
�According to cognitive dissonance theory, there is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their cognitions (i.e., beliefs, opinions). When there is an inconsistency between attitudes or behaviors (dissonance), something must change to eliminate the dissonance. In the case of a discrepancy between attitudes and behavior, it is most likely that the attitude will change to accommodate the behavior.�
�Two factors affect the strength of the dissonance: the number of dissonant beliefs, and the importance attached to each belief. There are three ways to eliminate dissonance: (1) reduce the importance of the dissonant beliefs, (2) add more consonant beliefs that outweigh the dissonant beliefs, or (3) change the dissonant beliefs so that they are no longer inconsistent.�
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE WORKED WELL FOR ME IN MY CHILDHOOD. I AM 8th of 11 children. My childhood cognitive dissonance helped me deny my wants and needs as a kid since their fulfillment would not be forthcoming. I escaped to my future and IT WAS SUCCESSFUL!! I did not drag myself down with jealousies as another of my sisters did. I trained myself well in denial�and I lived outside the present. That still works for me today�I don�t want to watch tv, go to movies and be sedentary, or eat at the Cheesecake factory. The method of denial to counteract cognitive dissonance works well. IT IS CALLED SELF-DISCIPLINE. I have replaced some of the denied �wants� with new wants: I want to ski, I want to take ski lessons, I want to skate, I want to walk outside in the snow, I want to try snow-shoeing.
But when is cognitive dissonance an enemy?? When I live a joyless life, denying myself participation in the things I want to participate in, telling myself that I better not do this or that because it annoys my spouse when I have fun. (blaming) It annoys him because he is the breadwinner and does not �have time� to enjoy some of the things I enjoy. This is a falsehood, of course, because the man wastes countless hours in front of the television and laptop. The fact that I am not working in my field of expertise has a lot to do with how he has treated me and my profession over the years. When options arose that would help me to accomplish my work schedule and allow the children access to extra-curricular activities without the need for me to drive them, my husband squelched the possibilities with rigorous definitive demands on exactly where we would live� and assumed I would put the children first as a good wife would do (and I did.) When given the opportunity to teach at the local professional school�he discouraged me because of the long commute and meager pay compared to my hands on job that was becoming inhumanely busy and that I ultimately ended up (after many years) quitting. I had the enthusiasm and aptitude to have done a stellar job teaching at my alma mater.
I emotionally am angry at my past treatment. Now that I am 51, I certainly have jumped additional hoops asked of me by my husband. I should not have to. But I did to keep peace and to be able to continue to parent to the best of my ability.
Strategy: Regarding cognitive dissonance � go do the healthy enjoyable activity I want to do. Focus on my healthy behavior. Others may follow. I cannot tell myself everyday in everyway I am getting healthier happier and then NOT exercise and eat right. I am responsible for my happiness. Nobody but me. And regarding denial turning into a good thing�Cognitive dissonance is not bad. It is the psychological observation of human behavior that has a term associated with it. It is something to be aware of, something to help us to understand our behaviors and emotions and to REMIND us that always, WE HAVE A CHOICE!
Another random aside: I remember when I was a young parent with no money. I took the kids to a photo shoot at a nearby studio. Back then, a guest photographer would set up shoots then have you return and give you a very high pressure sales presentation. I had very little time when I was a young parent because I was still in my training programs. But I remember the sales presentation. After they got you to say�in front of your kid�how precious, wonderful and lovely your child appears in the photo�they made it very difficult for your to retract how PRICELESS that photo image of your child was. What a horrible position they put me in!! I, of course, declined to purchase their outlandishly priced stock�but it made me work extra hard in making sure my child knew that THEY and NOT THE PICTURE was priceless�and how dare the scumbags put parents in that position. That was salemens� use of cognitive dissonance�clever, uncomfortable�and totally unforgiveable. Salesmen use this all the time.
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
-- Carol Burnett
This was a good article I ran into today. blogs.psychcentral.com/relationships/2011/01/how-to-get-your-cooperation-taming-your-subconscious-mind/
I gained weight since December and have been riding an emotional roller coaster. None of the issues are new. They are old ones I deal with and have been for years.
There is incongruence in my life between what my husband wants me to do and what I want to do. I�ve compromised right along doing things I do not want to do just to keep him happy and to raise our four kids. But it is taking its toll on me.
I decided I will purchase a 14 cup Cuisinart!! My trusty food processor is a 6 cup and not large enough to slice onions� and zucchinis and cucumbers whole. It is good for making salsa and hummus in the small quantities I need. But I would like to do more things now that I am eating healthy�and that includes whipping up cut cucumbers really fast to spread the hummus on.
My sisters were over last night. I love them but when we get together�I see my old bad eating habits in them. A plane trip for one of them was cancelled because the delay from Cleveland would make her missing her connection in Chicago and she did not want to wait all night at the airport. So I invited the whole bunch down for late supper.
One brought old donuts from the morning. We don�t eat donuts---but I saw it for the kind gesture it was and served them along with my salad, roasted veggies and the pizza we had delivered (I know, I know. I had two slices. Falling back into bad habits.) I baked fresh chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Happily, I witnessed good self discipline among the grown up ladies when it came to the warm fresh baked cookies. That was a behavior improvement over past years. I served fresh fruit and steamed broccoli�though the broccoli was not as fresh as it should have been to serve guests, I notice it this morning while eating it with my eggs. The niece, who is an obese teen, overate everything�the cookies, pizza, and candy dish candy�and she avoided the veggies.
Clearly, it is important to eat right. Not only for our health, but the health of our loved ones. The kids need to be taught portion control at an early age. Their tastes need to be developed so they prefer the fresh fruits and REAL veggie foods over the processed food.
I will continue to serve fresh foods at family gatherings. I will avoid over processed casseroles. The next time I serve broccoli I will make sure it is fresh. The quickest way to turn people off from veggies is serving bad stuff. I�ve taught my own children to NOT feel guilt if they toss produce. The nature of fresh ingredients is that they do not stay fresh. If you force yourself to eat the bad stuff, you develop disdain for it. So pitch the bad stuff�even if sometimes you just bought it at the grocery store and it is not good (like a recent box of clementines that I purchased).
I love my sisters. But I am so glad to be changing.

That was at 12:20 p.m. Three hours later the police were back at the condo, this time at the request of Daniel. Exploitation of the elderly was the accusation; Bridget was the suspect. Cpl. Thomas Mundy, one of the officers responding to Saul Cooper's initial call, interviewed Regina. In his report he noted that she "does not suffer from any mental illness, nor is she on any medication for same. As I spoke to her, she was coherent and articulate. She gave me reasonable answers to all questions I asked.
"... Ms. Greenhill explained to me how Bridget was a very good employee and on how she enjoyed her company," Mundy wrote in his report. "I questioned Ms. Greenhill as to the reason for purchasing a home in the name of Ms. Garcia. Her explanation was, "I thought it was all right.'" (The officer apparently misunderstood the nature of the home purchase. It wasn't in Bridget's name; she simply lived there.)
Although the police department had chosen not to follow up on the assault charges filed by Bridget, and though Corporal Mundy determined that Regina was of sound mind and did not consider herself exploited, the department decided to investigate further. Det. James Cumbie interviewed Regina Greenhill again. "In discussion she advised that she at times feels afraid or intimidated by her son [Daniel]," he wrote in his report, "and that yes she did buy Bridget a car as a gift. Bridget has been working at her apartment for several years and she has never had a problem. Ms. Greenhill does not believe that she did anything wrong buying the car.
Regina's Bonavida condominium, where Bridget claims she was raped
Aventura police documented both Bridget's assault claims and, in a separate report, Regina's endorsement of her former employee
Chief Tom Ribel remains absolutely convinced of Bridget's guilt
Bridget still wears the simple wedding ring Regina bought for her
"... Ms. Greenhill has no mental illness, was coherent when interviewed, is not taking medication that would affect her knowing right from wrong, and gave reasonable answers to all questions," Cumbie concluded. "There was no misrepresentation or false promise made by Ms. Garcia. She did not induce or encourage or solicit Ms. Greenhill to enter into any contract."
After an assistant state attorney advised that no crime had occurred, Cumbie requested the case be closed. Even so, a month later he discussed the investigation with yet another assistant state attorney. Again it was determined that no crime had been committed.
Looking back on this investigation, Chief Ribel rejects the identical findings of his corporal and detective that Regina had not been exploited. "We ran this by the state attorney's office," he says. Even though Regina was clearly of sound mind, Ribel still believes Bridget committed a crime. "We wanted very much to arrest [Bridget] for extorting money from the mother," he explains. "The state [attorney's office] didn't feel comfortable. It was one of those cases where we know it's wrong, but they can't take it. I'm not the prosecutor." This is the first installment of a two-part article. Next week: The Greenhill family attorney goes on the offensive, a critical analysis of the Aventura Police Department investigation, and a revealing new polygraph test for Bridget Garcia.

Samira Abdulrazzak
"To me the vital function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers," Dubai Infinity Holdings CEO Samira Abdulrazzak was quoted in an interview with Khaleej Times' Weekend magazine.
Of course this was at a time when the 20-something was at the top of her game, with the Isla Moda initiative with Karl Lagerfeld and a venture deal with Yash Raj Films—both of which are now indefinitely on hold.
Dubai Infinity Holdings (DIH) is a private investment company owned by prominent local investors, which was launched in 2007.
After graduating from Shaikh Zayed University in Business Science in 2002, Abdulrazzak worked for the HSBC Bank, Middle East, for four years, where she held senior managerial positions in different departments, including marketing, HR, corporate banking, trade and finance. She then joined mortgage provider Tamweel as Head, Business Development before heading up Dubai Infinity Holdings.

Futureal LyricsArtist: Iron Maiden
Album: Ed Hunter
I'm running out of my time
I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting so
I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death
I'm getting in far too deep
I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared
I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared
Do you believe, what you hear
Can you believe, what you see
Do you believe, what you feel
Can you believe
What is real ?
What is real ?
Whenever anyone seems
to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the
only one who feels
That I know what is real
Sometimes it feels like a game
of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this
then I'll be gone
Maybe then, you will see

Cassie Edwards Also Relied Upon Pulitzer-Winning Fiction
Over the weekend, the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog published additional evidence bestselling romance novelist Cassie Edwards may be a serial plagiarist, as one of the blog's readers compiled similarities between Edwards's Savage Dream, a Navajo-themed romance published in 1990, and Oliver La Farge's Laughing Boy: A Navajo Love Story, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction (later made into a movie with Ramon Navarro and Lupe Velez).
"This, in my opinion, drives the sheer wrongness of what happened to new heights," says the blog's co-proprietor, Candy Tan. "Using passages, word-for-word, of research material still isn't a good thing by a long shot, but I can understand somebody being confused about the protocols of how much to acknowledge in a work of fiction. Using descriptive passages from another work of fiction, however, changes the tenor entirely."
The usual chart juxtaposing Edwards' prose with that of her likely source material is provided.

December 20 2014 Latest news:
Thursday, March 27, 2014
A series of big bangs have been reported in north Norfolk tonight, which caused a Twitter storm.
Reports began coming in around 8pm after people in the Cromer and Sheringham areas took to social networks to find the cause of a number of loud bangs.
People suggested that it could have been a sonic boom or even a meteor fireball. However, many north Norfolk residents confirmed later that it was a thunder and lightning storm.
Chris Bell, of the University of East Anglia-based Weatherquest, said on Twitter at 8.40pm: "I can confirm...thunderstorms on-going across Norfolk at the moment."
Jono Read, of Holt, on Twitter added: "We had one large flash of lightning followed by an unusually loud bang of thunder. Bit of rain and all is quiet again."
Coral Lewis added: "It's thundering really loudly here in Cromer. I've got a perfect view! It lasted for ages! Shook our flat. It's gone out to sea now."
Kate Royall, from Cromer, added: "I only heard it once, it was really bizarre, like a low lying boom!"

Public Pension Plans:
Evaluation of Economically Targeted Investment Programs
PEMD-95-13: Published: Mar 17, 1995. Publicly Released: Apr 12, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-2900
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed economically targeted investments (ETI), focusing on the: (1) amount and types of ETI being invested by nonfederal public employee pension plans; (2) realization of competitive returns by ETI programs aimed at business development; and (3) economic effects of business development ETI programs.
GAO found that: (1) public pension plans have invested billions of dollars nationwide in ETI; (2) in a survey of large public pension plans, 50 of the 119 respondents indicated that they had invested a total of $19.8 billion in ETI to promote housing, real estate, or small business development; (3) ETI that promote business development include private placements, venture capital investments, and bond, loan, and certificate of deposit purchases; (4) the performance of ETI by the public pension plans studied was generally similar to the returns of comparison investments; (5) the performance of ETI venture capital programs sometimes lagged behind the comparison investments; and (6) no definitive conclusions have been reached regarding the economic effects of ETI programs due to insufficient data.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In the 104th Congress, the majority strongly opposed the promotion of ETIs and legislation was passed by the House that would prohibit ETIs. No action is likely in the 105th Congress.
Matter: If Congress decides to initiate a program to promote public or private pension plan investment in ETI, it should ensure that participation in the program is voluntary, not mandatory.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In 1994, DOL entered into a 2-year contract to establish an information clearinghouse on ETIs. The contract expired in September 1996, and the Department plans no further action. The contractor established the clearinghouse and, subsequent to the contract, continues to gather and disseminate information on ETIs to the general public.
Recommendation: The Department of Labor should explore methods to evaluate the success of ETI in promoting development objectives and then collect data that would permit such an evaluation, to the extent that is cost-beneficial.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
