The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990 to halt the systemic exclusion of persons with disabilities from the benefits and services available to most citizens. The act applies to education, employment, transportation, communications and public accommodations.
Human Resources serves as the coordinator for employment requests for reasonable accommodations and works with employees, with qualifying disabilities, who may need some type of reasonable accommodation to be successful in their work assignment.
According to the ADA, an employer must provide a reasonable accommodation for the known limitations of a qualified applicant or employee with a disability, unless the employer can show that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the business, or no accommodation exists that would eliminate a direct threat that the limitation poses to the health or safety of the person or others.
The Human Resource Office may decline to provide an accommodation if such accommodation is an "undue hardship" or "direct threat". If an employee feels that an accommodation has been declined inappropriately, they have the right to file a complaint with the Affirmative Action Office. (507-389-2986)

Sound Test
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
Noise levels also look strong; saying that we do see that idle noise is a little louder. Idle and load, though, shows only a decibel in change which is always impressive.

Delano Bound
This fun little free site looks like it'll be worth revisiting from time to time. DeLano is a tall good looking gentleman who respects and worships Bettie Page, Simone Devon, and Mistress Stephanie Locke, and considers their form of thoroughly-enjoying-themselves bondage to be an art form as well as an eroticism. His plan is to do his best to emulate their out-of-the-dungeon ordinary life setting style of aesthetic bondage, with himself as the person bound. What we reviewed included both photography and fiction. He has a couple of Pro Dommes who assist him (tying oneself up is not that easy), and it looks like he plans monthly updates. As he told us, the site still has a few kinks (har har) in it to work out, but nothing that interferes with viewing it. We'd like to encourage him to continue --- it's a fine mission to accept and he has a good start going.

Found this while looking around the internet. Sold as Robusta. But this is different. Sold on Ebay by PJ's Plants and Things, US $8.49 $10.80 Expedited Shipping. But what if you just got a Robusta instead of this plant? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have a look at this page. Look for Eve. Looks the same to me. No wonder there is so much confusion in names. I think this is a wholesale grower. Maybe some of these new ones will pop up in the stores next spring. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Charlie Cook.com
I am much interested in having this cv. Unfortunately, the ebay seller doesn't accept messages from buyers, nor does he ship out of US. Is there anyone who can ship me two or three S."Eve"? (no matter the price, of course...) roberto firstname.lastname@example.com |
Roberto, Robusta is a type of Sans. that grows from cutting of any Futura type plants. Notice, the seller makes no claim that this is 'Eve' or a Whitney reverse. That's why I posted this. What if?? There is a site that sells some very interesting Sans. http://www.ornamentalplantstore.com/ There is an overseas shipping of $35. Lets us know how you make out. Bmock, Thanks for the link. I think they are wholesale only. And I did look up 'Eve'. I will have to keep my eyes open at the Big Box Stores. I am starting some cutting from my Futura that lost a leaf while handling. I know Robusta will result but if I could get some green stripping, well we will see. |

OK, I just saw this thread again. So the reverse of 'Whitney' is 'Eve'?? I may have to go back and buy one...... |
Hey Chris, if reasonable, but two. one for me along with Whitney. We can mail to each other this spring. Stush |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jan 9, 13 at 12:15
Hi Stush..Oh, don't get me started w/reverse Whitney. lol. Next, I'll be hunting the net trying to find one..Toni |
Toni, I think they are starting to hit the stores around here. Keep checking the big box stores as well as grocery stores. Now there are 4 here to trade for Whitney. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Jan 10, 13 at 17:45
Stush, it's rare finding various Sans here, but I made a mistake. Before our Walmart was changed to Super Walmart, plants were usually well-stocked. But, I'll keep looking... |

I was trying to change a flush valve and had the water supply shut off valve closed. After loosening the jam nut just below the tank I heard the water pressure surge and water came up near the floor the floor at the base of the water supply. Just turning the jam nut back in the opposite direction did not help at all. turning the supply line in either direction did not work, though I could try more now the water is turned off at the main and the spills are cleaned up sorta. i assume the supply line has come loose from a joint at the level of the floor. I would hate to see the bill on getting the toilet and sub floor ripped up to get at it. I'm out of work on disability and earning about half my income. Just found out Ineed to replace my porch roof for 1000. Any help you can give I would appreciate. I guess now that the water is shut off I'll see if I can get any more info. I have removed toilet in the past to replace seal so I have just a little experience. Had about an inch and a half of water in the second floor bathrom and alot of big puddles in the kitchen below. Water coming down around the kitchen light. UGH. |
Follow-Up Postings:
took toilet off and removed water supply and it is broken. just the last thread or two on one side.I'm going to lowes. |
okay,lowes gave me all the replacement parts and some sympathy. I am trying to get the broken off threads out of the compression fitting. It seems like I could get the compression fitting off but, I'm afraid to break that. The top of the fitting is level with the floor but the pipe pulls up easily. Not sure if it would be to hard to get another compession fitting on if it is below the floor. Not sure which way the compression fittings turn to come off anyway and it is tight in both directions. They also gave a something back that looks like a large drill bit that is designed to force out stuff when turned counter clockwise I've tried that some but again I am afraid to break the fitting. i guess fittings are pretty tick and can take some twisting without breaking. Gosh I'm tired. Anybody out there. |
Shut off the main, remove the water supply shut off valve and replace with new. New supply line to toilet. Fittings are right to tighten and left to loosen. |

Scattered Shots: The DPS value of skill {WoW}
Jul 15th 2011 3:30AM Some advice... Hope this helps.
1) keybind your basic shots so that they're all close by one hand. I play SV, so I have 1 as SS, 2 as Black Arrow, 3 as Explosive, 4 as Cobra, 5 as Kill, 6 as Rapid Fire. Arcane is F1, Concussive is F3. F2 is some CC. It does NOT matter if you follow those... my point is make them all easy to press with the hand that's not moving you around.
2) Get and use Power Aura or the built in one. Use a combat text mod or, again, the built in version. Both of these will alert you when abilities are off cooldown. I have a big, annoying red circle in the middle of my screen when Explosive is up. A purple sigil for Black Arrow, etc. I don't need to take my eyes off what's happening to know that a shot is up and I should fire it.
There's more. But making it easy to press a key and fire a shot and to know when your shots are available to be fired will help I think.
Scattered Shots: Understanding the PTR process {WoW}
Jan 17th 2011 1:46PM Mmm... I don't have an issue with the changing nature of the game or the nature of the PTR.
What makes me wonder are things like the 25% Explosive Shot nerf that a day later was 15%. I doubt they got all that much data in ~1 day. And, while I get the concept of turning a setting farther than you really intend to go so you gain understanding of the effect, it still surprises me that they don't have better simulations of the effects of things. But at the end of the day it's the whipsaw nature of the changes that give the appearance of some randomness combined with things like the Great BM nerf that make people react. Well, that and some people just have QQ in their hearts.
Scattered Shots: Hunter spec and class balance {WoW}
Jan 3rd 2011 3:04PM The two issues I wonder about are
1) is SV damage where more DPS should be by design? That is, are the encounters designed for most DPS classes to be closer to what SV is doing or are they designed for a lower average dps and SV is significantly above the design goal and
2) is it really a good idea to base design changes on how top players play specs? You can say that top players will be expressing the potential of the spec best, but the question to me is what happens when a spec is played just well and not perfectly? For example, on my shadow priest in Wrath, dot clipping and uptime had a HUGE impact on DPS. People who were really quite good at not clipping dots while keeping a high uptime did very well but if you clipped even the last tick of some dots, your DPS suffered quite a bit... even though we're talking about differences in the tenths of a second range. I'd hate to see a spec have to be played close to perfectly in order to do well with anything less than that seeing disproportionate dropoff.
AS for 'too soon', well, I suppose that the argument is that with more gear lower dps specs/classes will improve more than the top classes... I'd hope Blizzard would have a handle on that, but then I'd have thought they would be able to simulate DPS closely in the first place and we have the above spread.
Breakfast Topic: Are children welcome in your guild? {WoW}
Sep 15th 2010 12:33PM Aside from the bad apples argument, another issue is control over your own time. Both guilds I've been in are 18+ but will bend the rules for mature teens and, frankly, the maturity level hasn't been an issue - you DO need to chat with them a bit before inviting, but you should do that for any player.
The biggest issue we've seen is that teens don't control their time. If Mom or Dad comes in and says 'take out the garbage/do your homework, shut that off and go to sleep/it's dinner time' then the kid has to deal with that. Adults aren't perfect at this, esp adults with young kids who sometimes play when they should be paying attention to their kids... but they control their schedule. They can play for 3 hours at a shot and no one is going to tell them the garbage should go out or that they need to wash the dishes NOW (well, if they're married... *cough*). That doesn't matter when questing, but is a bigger deal when running 5 mans and raids.
Breakfast Topic: Would you list WoW experience on your resume? {WoW}
Sep 14th 2010 12:25PM "... that this hobby is a priority to you over your career, that you won't be as willing to put in the time for your job instead of your hobby."
WTF are you on about? Millions of people play WoW and for very few is it the priority over their job, etc. Who SAYS a player won't be willing to put in time for the job because of the hobby? People like you are the problem - you jump to all kinds of unwarranted conclusions based on your own internal fantasies. As you spend 16-20 hours passively watching TV usually. Because, yeah, "So you think you can dance" is excellent prep for your job.
Newsflash: What I do outside of work is my business. The time in the evening? MINE. Not yours, MINE.
Officers' Quarters: Mailbox roundup redux {WoW}
Sep 13th 2010 1:55PM But first, clear it with the officers in your guild (if it's an in-guild event). I think stepping up and offering to lead a weekday 10 man is a great solution, but you want to avoid the appearance of poaching etc. Guilds are different - some don't mind anyone who wants to leading a raid, others insist on a designated RL leading them, etc.
However, I think you'll need to find a new guild in the long run unless you can convince them to do a weekday raid in Cata. It's not reasonable to think they should reschedule their weekend raids that currently work just for you and if they're not willing to also have weekday raids (in addition to the weekend ones), then you'll be back here when we allhit 85 and raid in cata.
Officers' Quarters: March of the freeloaders, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 9:09PM @bennet - actually the article does a poor job of such differentiation. So did you and, while I'm NOT looking to pick a fight, I am trying to point out that complaining about freeloaders in a column like this highlights an issue that's not actually real.
Look at your earlier reply - it was about people who join an immediately want to get things from the bank and want runthroughs. THAT is the lack of differentiation I'm picking on. You're conflating known bad behaviors with this theoretical 'perk freeloader' when there's zero basis for that. And no one is taking on the point that, simply because one plays more casually it doesn't mean one is freeloading.
Look, a guild can setup any rules it wants - it can make playtime rules, demand you have to run X heroics per week etc. But in the absence of rules like that a casual guild accommodates a wide variety of styles, from people who like to grind for hours a night to people who play a few hours a week. All this talk of freeloading does is setup an tension between people who play a lot and people who don't - it's a new source of drama and precisely the kind of things Scott should be against, not for.
Officers' Quarters: March of the freeloaders, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 8:33PM @Ymre,
"If anyone is in your guild that is unknown to the rest of the guild, or just generally unliked by the higher ups, why should they be there? Guilds are for friends or coworkers with a common goal. "
Er. No. First off, you've mixed three very different things. Let's separate them. First, we have 1) People who are not well known. 2) People who aren't liked by 'the higher ups'. Hmm... So if someone's not well known, they don't belong? Why? How are they hurting the guild if they come on for an hour, play a bit, maybe chat occasionally, maybe not? Sure, they're not as valuable a member as someone who's more active, helps more people, etc... but how are they HURTING? Now, #2... people who aren't lked by the officers. Assuming the officers aren't rabid dickwads, I'd assume these people are troublemakers of some kind. So deal with that. However, that has nothing to do with the issue of freeloading.
Now we come to your main fallacy... that guilds are for 'friends or co-workers.' I have a feeling you're in this situation and have made the mistake of assuming that because your guild is like that, all of them should be. However, both of the large casual guilds I've been in are mostly people who've never met outside of the game. A lot of guilds are like t his and simply because yours didn't work doesn't mean that it can't -both of the guilds I've been in are launch day guilds on a launch server (meaning they've been around since the game started).
You and others are missing a point that I've stated a few times (or you're dodging the question) which is that the concept of a freeloader only makes sense if the freeloader is hurting the guild. Sure, it might be frustrating to see someone get a perk when you did way more work than they... but as long as you're doing the work because you want to, how did they hurt you? What if someone joins your guild after your guild has all of the perks? Are you simply not taking in new people because they didn't contribute to getting the guild perks? Good luck with that...
Officers' Quarters: March of the freeloaders, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 4:11PM @ambermist - first, I don't uprate my own comments... and you can only uprate once anyway. So, sorry, but it seems people agree with me.
More to the point, what you ignore in your flailing attempt at reason is that social/casual guilds usually exist as homes for a wide variety of playstyles from raiding to running 5 mans, to solo questing or leveling a lot of alts. So in that kind of a guild, define 'contribute'. Any of those things or other styles like BGing a lot, are valid in a casual guild. All this asinine concept of 'freeloading' does is to drive wedges between people. Some people might only be able to play an hour a day and not even every day. In a casual guild now, that's accepted. But we're to believe it's freeloading in Cata? Why?
How is this NOT causing drama where none needs to exist because PERKS AREN'T A SCARCE RESOURCE. If they were, I'd understand the issue, but perks aren't a limited resource, so who cares if guildie X can buy a rare pattern when they might not have contributed as much as guildie Y? As long as everyone who wants it can buy it, how is anyone hurt by this?
Officers' Quarters: March of the freeloaders, part 2 {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 2:48PM @ymres
"But, if I remember right, only the first and highest so many contributors a week actually count towards the guild leveling, so if you're consistently doing nothing your guild will know, and wonder why you're still a member if you're not acting like one."
And there's the issue. It's the highest 20 I believe. Now, if you have ~20-30 people on at any one time, no problem... but what if your guild sees 50+ on over the week? And *again* how does someone with limited playtime who logs in an hour a night to just have fun really hurt the guild (presuming the overall culture is fine with that playstyle)? As far as I can see, it doesn't.

The Division runs two independent medical critical care services in Center City campus: the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) team 1, which is a complement of 17 ICU beds covered by 4 interns, 2 residents, one fellow, and one intensivist attending; and a MICU team 2, which is a novel 8-bed unit covered by critical care nurse practitioners, a fellow, and one attending; the latter also performs critical care consultations in other ICUs as well. The group also provides coverage at the Methodist Hospital campus in South Philadelphia (2 miles from Center City) for a 12 bed MICU staffed by Jefferson residents, fellows, and attendings.
There is daily multi-disciplinary bedside rounding (which includes patient families, pharmacist, respiratory therapist, bedside nurse, and nutritionist) on all patients 7 days per week with a housestaff or NP team, a fellow, and an attending. Fellows supervise the house staff in their initial patient evaluations and, with division faculty, guide diagnostic and therapeutic management. Fellows are in the hospital overnight by a "night float model" and are off all duty the next day. All invasive procedures performed in the MICU are supervised by faculty and fellows, ensuring an opportunity for proficiency in pulmonary artery catheter insertion, arterial cannulation, central venous catheter placement, chest tubes, percutaneous tracheostomy, and bronchoscopy. A diverse patient population offers a wide array of critical care problems, with extensive exposure to patients with shock, ARDS, acute respiratory failure, acute renal failure, coma, metabolic and endocrine problems, infectious disease, hematological problems (sickel cell crisis, TTP, hemophagocytic syndrome), disorders of the gastrointestinal system (acute GI bleeding and liver failure) and others. As a tertiary hospital, there is extensive exposure to various organ transplants, cutting edge multi-organ interventions including LVADs, ECMO, diaphragm pacing, hypothermia protocol, and MARS. Most importantly, there is ready access to world class consultants from all disciplines.

Airbus has commenced mating of the cockpit section of its first A350 to the twinjet's forward fuselage at its Saint Nazaire plant in France.
The mating process will "continue over the coming weeks", the airframer said, before the entire forward section is flown to the final assembly line in Toulouse.
Aerolia has produced the cockpit and nose section components while the fuselage section was manufactured in Germany by Premium Aerotec.

"This will be the first major section of the A350 to enter the final assembly line," said Airbus.
It will form part of the static test airframe but will be "closely" followed by the initial flying prototype, one of five flight-test A350s to be manufactured.
Airbus had been intending to begin final assembly of the static aircraft by the end of this year, but has slipped the schedule into the first half of 2012. The maiden flight will take place in the first half of 2013, with A350 delivery set for 2014.

Tiny Seahawks fan has encyclopedic knowledge of the team
Even the casual fan knows the basics about the Seahawks, but 3-year-old Kalee goes miles beyond the basics.
Quizzed by her father, Kalee happily rattles off the names and positions of nearly every player on the roster.
"Who's the quarterback?" her dad asks.
"Russell Wilson," she replies without missing a beat.
"Ok, who's the running back," her dad asks.
"Marshawn Lynch," Kalee says. "Beast mode."
The little girl will tell you that the team's head coach is Pete Carroll and the safety is Earl Thomas. In fact, she's a fan of the entire Legion of Boom.
"She just sort of randomly started picking up on some names and would just be randomly talking about them as she was playing, and it was like, 'How did you remember that, you know?'" said her dad, Evan Beutow.
Kalee can name the entire receiving corps, even little-used players like Jermaine Kearse. Some dad's read stories before bed, but Evan reads rosters, adding one new player every night.
"Who's the strong safety?" Evan asks.
"Kam Chancellor," Kalee says.
Even die hard fans would be hard pressed to name members of the offensive line, but Kalee will gladly tell you that the team's center is Max Unger.
"She just kept asking to learn more, and then it snowballed from there with basically the whole team and some of the backup players and the coaches," Evan said.
And it's not just players, either. She knows the team's offensive line coordinator is Tom Cable, and she'll tell you the names and numbers of backup players.
Asked why she likes the Seahawks so much, Kalee says, "Because I love them," before adding a hearty, "Go Hawks."
Evan said Kalee only likes to talk about two things before bedtime: the Seattle Seahawks and Jesus.

Ba Le Sandwich: Take that, fusion haters
In A Federal Case, I'll be eating my way up Federal Boulevard -- south to north -- within Denver city limits. I'll be skipping the national chains and per-scoop Chinese joints, but otherwise I'll report from every vinyl booth, walk-up window and bar stool where food is served. Here's the report on this week's stop....All photos by Mark Antonation
A banh mi is the ultimate argument to silence detractors of fusion cuisine: a paper-wrapped torpedo straight into the mouth of purist snobbery and closed-minded opinionating. Combining the foods of two different cultures doesn't have to be intellectual, fussy or ill-conceived. A simple combination of ingredients on hand -- the marriage of necessity and convenience -- can become something powerful, iconic and, most of all, ridiculously delicious. I ate banh mi from Ba Le Sandwich for three meals in a row on a recent weekend, not for the purposes of research or to adhere to some food-writer code of ethics, but because once those crusty baguette sandwiches entered my mind, I couldn't vanquish their presence until I'd chomped my way through the majority of Ba Le's menu and evangelized to anyone available with proffered bites and explanations of the alchemy encapsulated within. In short, I was feeding my banh mi obsession.

Sandwiches can generally be lumped into two categories: sloppy or tidy. In the sloppy camp, you've got the intentionally flamboyant Mexican torta, with all the restraint of a college-cafeteria food fight; the seemingly proper croque madame, which appears tidy yet requires a plate, silverware and impeccable table manners if you're going to walk away unstained by yolk or butter; and the Chicago Italian beef -- the sandwich that prompted the invention of the pressure washer.
On the other side, you'll find dainty tea sandwiches that barely even belong in this conversation, fast-food burgers packaged to be eaten while driving, and the deceptively polite banh mi, which may dangle a tendril or two of cilantro but rarely becomes tawdry enough to reveal its savory contents until you bite into it. Ba Le's sandwiches fit this description. They're immaculate parcels meant for consumption on the move -- or at least in places where posh amenities like finger bowls, wet wipes and shower stalls are not standard, maybe slipped into a pocket for later noshing or thrown into a backpack for a snack at the end of a hike.
Tucked between palate-shredding baguette halves lurks an addictive and refreshing salad of shredded carrots, daikon, cucumber and cilantro -- all lightly anointed with a sweet-tart vinaigrette that enhances the crunch and flavor of the veggies without saturating the bread. Thin-sliced jalapeños add just a hint of raw aggression to the mix, but Ba Le doesn't overdo it, resulting in just the right level of zing to balance whichever savory and fatty meats you decide to include.
Even the meat options (Ba Le does not list a vegetarian option) reflect the French-Vietnamese cultural collision already evident in the combination of crusty roll and Asian veggie mix. Charcuterie selections like pate, thin-sliced headcheese, ham and pork meatloaf (the house special -- or dac biet -- features all four) skews the menu toward its French roots, but the shredded pork skin, grilled shrimp paste and sour pork inform you that you're still eating street food from the heart of Saigon.

Thousands without power as Southland cleans up from violent storms
By Donna Vickroy email@example.com July 1, 2014 12:50PM
The storms that ripped through the Southland on Monday, June 30, 2014, knocked down the tents at the grounds of Oak Fest, which is scheduled to start Wednesday. | Donna Vickroy/Sun-Times Media
Updated: August 3, 2014 6:22AM
Residents and work crews across the Southland spent Tuesday coping with widespread power outages, dark traffic lights, downed trees and power lines and flooding caused by the violent storm system that tore through the area the night before.
The powerful storm, with winds up to 85 mph ravaged some towns and neighborhoods and left thousands of residents wondering when their lights will come back on. In some places, that could be a while. And the clean-up effort could take weeks.
Hundreds of ComEd crews on Tuesday were working across the south suburbs to restore service in the wake of what ComEd calls the worst storm in three years.
More than 400,000 customers in the Chicago area were affected Monday night as wicked storms swept and tornado-level winds swept through communities. More than 100,000 of the around 200,000 customers that remained without power Tuesday are in the Southland.
"This is the worst storm we've had since the storm of 2011, when we had over 900,000 customers affected," said Fidel Marquez, senior vice president of governmental and external affairs at ComEd.
ComEd deployed its largest mobile command center Tuesday morning in the parking lot of the Matteson Holiday Inn, near Interstate 57. Officials are coordinating 760 repair crews and another 300 crews assessing damage in the suburbs, with the majority canvassing the south suburbs.
Two waves of storms pelted the suburbs Monday night with heavy rains and up to 85 mph wind. The second, more powerful, line traveled along Interstate 80 and left a path of damage in its wake.
ComEd officials expect to have the command center deployed for at least the next several days while repairs continue.
"There still are fallen trees that are impeding some of the roadways," Marquez said. He warned customers not to approach downed powerlines, even if they are not sparking.
By Tuesday evening, 140,000 customers still were without power in ComEd's southern region, which includes the south suburbs and extends from south of Downers Grove to Pontiac. According to ComEd's outage map, more than 102,000 customers in Cook County and another 29,000 customers in Will County were without power as of 6 p.m.
Power outage reports can be made to ComEd's emergency hotline, (800) 334-7661.
ComEd also has deployed field command centers to Lansing and Palos Heights to coordinate crews in those areas.
"I'm hearing we were hit worse than some other communities," said Bart Gilliam, Matteson's public works director.
Residents from across the village have called in reports of broken electric cables and fallen trees damaging homes. Gilliam said he expects it to take at least four weeks for the community to clean up all of damage.
An enormous uprooted tree nearly crushed the home where 75-year-old Edward Hill lives. Hill was awake at around midnight when he heard the crashing. No one was hurt by the falling tree and the house sustained relatively minor damage.
"It sounded like a tornado," said Hill, who lives at the rental house near 214th Street and Jeffrey Drive. "I thought it was coming through the roof, but it didn't."
Homeowner John Esposito didn't know how old the tree was before it uprooted from its spot in the parkway in front of the house. He said he contacted village police, who were going to assess the damage after they had finished clearing village streets of debris.
Mykah Marsalis, 24, was inside her family's Quinn Avenue home when, before midnight, howling winds picked up as the second of the two storms descended on Matteson.
"We were about to sleep," Marsalis said.
Seconds later, she and her family members heard winds snap trees outside their home. Branches from one crashed down onto their house, busting a whole in the roof, and smashing a van parked in their driveway. Marsalis and her family spent Tuesday morning without power as a crew began removing the broken tree limbs.
In Oak Forest, tents were ripped asunder at the site of Oak Fest, which gets underway Wednesday.
Chairman Joe Koce, who came to the site near 159th Street and Central Avenue Monday night to assess damage, says he's just happy the storm didn't hit during the Fest.
"We'll make do; we'll adjust," Koce said. "We're definitely having a Fest, with or without tents."
Tom Walsh, 91, was preparing to remove some branches from damaged trees on his property in Oak Forest. All four of Walsh's children, along with him and his wife, live in five houses on Lorel Avenue, south of 147th Street. Patty Walsh said the extended family gathered for dinner on Monday night, before heading for shelter in one of their basements.
On Tuesday, she tried to convince her dad to put down the circular saw.
"I'm 91 years old, I can do what I want," Tom Walsh said, chuckling.
Power was out at both village hall and the public library in Orland Park, and it was unclear whether power would be restored by Wednesday. Generators were in use at village hall to enable some functions, such as accepting payments for water bills, to continue, Joe La Margo, the village's public information officer, said.
Public library officials learned early Tuesday morning the storm had knocked out power to the building, and just department heads and assistant department heads were working, according to Bridget Bittman, library spokeswoman. Staffers were routinely having to dash outside to inform patrons the library was closed for the day.
Bittman said officials hoped to reopen Wednesday, and that information would be posted at the library's website and on its Facebook page. Patrons who had materials due back Tuesday would be given temporary exemption from fines, she said.
The Orland Fire Protection District said that while the number of emergency calls it received spiked during and after the storms, no major fires resulted from lightning strikes. The district extinguished some minor fires caused by lightning hitting trees, and while crews also responded to "many" reports of homes being hit by lightning, none of the strikes sparked a fire, according to a district spokesman.
Still, the storms continued to cause traffic snarls Tuesday because of power outages. Traffic lights on LaGrange Road at the eastbound exit ramp from Interstate 80 were flashing red Tuesday afternoon, while lights at LaGrange and 183rd Street/Orland Parkway were out. Traffic signals were also out on LaGrange at 147th Street as of Tuesday afternoon.
In Crestwood, the Windy City Thunderbolts game against the Nebraska CornBelters on Tuesday was postponed due to a power outage at the stadium. A doubleheader (2 7-inning games) was scheduled for Wednesday starting at 6:05 p.m.
The majority of the city of Chicago Heights was without power as of late Tuesday afternoon, said Lisa Aprati, city spokesperson. Public works crews were out all day clearing downed branches and broken tree limbs, she said. "It's been really nice to see neighbors helping neighbors and people helping us by moving branches out if the streets onto the parkways," she said.
She expects it will take two to three days before things return to normal.
High winds from during the storm wreaked havoc on Lemont's infrastructure.
"About half the town's out of power," Thomas Ballard, director of the Lemont Emergency Agency, said Tuesday morning. He said the entire downtown area including the Lemont Village Hall had no power causing businesses to stay closed and as of 10 a.m. he hasn't been given an estimated time of when power might be restored by ComEd.
Ballard said the storm blew down several trees and power lines throughout town and more than 2,000 people were without power.
"We can't clean up the trees because of the (downed) power lines," Ballard said.
In Lockport, emergency officials there reported Tuesday morning that nearly 3,000 people were without power in the city with another 1,000 in greater Lockport Township.
Lockport Emergency Management Agency Director Phil Rittenhouse said some people could be without power for a day or two.
A lightning strike during Monday night's storms might be the cause for a fire that gutted Steger's village hall.
Village staff and the police department, which also was housed in the hall at 35 W. 34th St., are relocated to the village's two fire departments repairs are complete.
An insurance adjuster estimated cost to repair the hall at $750,000 and will require six months of work before it can be used again, said Steger Mayor Ken Peterson.
"There's pretty much nothing left, except for the outside," Peterson said.
The east side of the hall where the village staff have offices was gutted by the fire, which might have been cause by lightning or a power surge during the storm that sparked a copier, Peterson said. The police department is located on the other side of the building.
A police officer entering the building noticed smoke and called firefighters. Peterson said that the fire had already been burning for an hour by the time the officer noticed.
Smoke detectors in the hall weren't tied to a system that automatically alerts the fire department, Peterson said. The village was in the process of setting up that system and had planned to discuss the issue at the next board meeting.
Oak Lawn Village Manager Larry Deetjen was thankful no injuries were caused by the storms. He and other village officials have been in steady contact with ComEd regarding power outages.
The village keeps records of residents who are in critical need, such as shut-ins or those with serious medical conditions, Deetjen said.
"We have 274 names on the list. The good news is only three live in areas where there's no power, so we sent out mobile teams to make sure all is well," he said.
A woman, who lives in the 10400 block of South Laramie Avenue was surprised to hear a chain saw and see three Oak Lawn village employees cutting the portion of the Norway maple tree that had split early Tuesday.
"I'm glad nobody was hurt. It was all in the street and halfway up her lawn," she said, pointing across the street. "I woke up to the chain saws. If that would have gone the other way, it could have hit my house. I'm getting a lot of people stopping to look."
When she was looking at the remnant of the tree, about half remains standing, Matt Basile, Oak Lawn's village forester, pulled up in his truck for a closer look.
"We lost 21 trees around the village," Basile said. The trunk of the largest felled tree was nearly three feet in diameter, he said.
The tree on Laramie had likely been weakened years earlier where someone had pruned the tree "and it never really sealed over," he said. High winds hastened the inevitable.
"This one's pretty small, We lost 21 trees around the village," Basile said. The trunk of the largest felled tree was nearly three feet in diameter, he said.
Felled trees were scattered around Oak Lawn.
The tree on Laramie and other damaged trees around Oak Lawn will be cut down, he said. In the meantime, he advised the resident to not leave her car parked in the driveway near the parkway.

"Some of these crawlers are not, however, so devoid of energy as we might at first be led to infer. A few days' good lodging and good food might operate a marvellous transformation. The abject misery into which they are plunged is not always self sought and merited; but is, as often, the result of unfortunate circumstances and accident. The crawler, for instance, whose portrait is now before the reader, is the widow of a tailor who died some ten years ago. She had been living with her son-in-law, a marble stone-polisher by trade, who is now in difficulties through ill-health. It appears, however, that, at best, "he never cared much for his work," and innumerable quarrels ensued between him, his wife, his mother-in-law, and his brother-in-law, a youth of fifteen. At last, after many years of wrangling, the mother, finding that her presence aggravated her daughter's troubles, left this uncomfortable home, and with her young son descended penniless into the street. From that day she fell lower and lower, and now takes her seat among the crawlers of the district."[3]
The series of striking photographs published by Dr. Barnardo enable those who choose to procure them to understand the nature of the work in progress far better than mere verbal descriptions. The past and the present condition of the lads is forcibly portrayed by the photographer's art, and the result is a series of transformation scenes both unique and affecting. The same subjects are placed before us under different circumstances. In the one we see a boy' sleeping out' on the stones; in the counterpart the same person appears as he is in the Home, ' tucked up for the night.' Here sits one in the street ' Please sir, I've got no work to do;' and there he is again in a comfortable uniform and happy face ' But I'm in work now, you know.' There is a group as they appeared when ' on the streets,' and there they are as they look at present. The series includes sixty of these instructive and entertaining scenes, which all persons who are interested in the good work should procure. Present hope contrasts with former despair, and present comfort with former indigence, in a very striking manner.[7]
THE SOCIETY OF AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS OF NEW YORK. Lantern Exhibition. The regular monthly lantern exhibition was given at the rooms of the Society. 123 West 30th Street, on Wednesday evening, January 25th, and was very largely attended. The subject was, "The Other Half How it lives and dies in New York," and was explained in an informal way by Mr. Jacob A. Riis, who for ten years past has been the police reporter of the New York Press. The object of the exhibition was to picture to the audience the exact condition of the lowest phases of life as it at present exists in New York City. Many of the pictures were obtained by the aid of flash magnesium light. The exhibition opened with a view of a well-known alley in Cherry Street, around which, it was said, 1,000 persons lived. Other views included the "Bandit's Alley," near Mott and Hester Streets, where murderers and thieves congregate and enjoy life in what is known as the "stale beer dives." "Bottle Alley," near Baxter Street, contained many children. A capital picture was that of an old tramp and thief in front of his broken-down shanty. About this Mr. Riis said he obtained the consent of the tramp to stand for ten cents, but he put his pipe in his pocket. So the tramp struck for higher pay, and on giving him five cents more he posed with his pipe as Mr. Riis desired. Another excellent picture illustrated how young boys first practice picking pockets. The object of attack was a drunken man lying down in a stupor. The two boys were on each side overhauling the pockets with decided energy. They term the pickings their winnings, never call it stealing. At a place called "Hell's Kitchen," near Eleventh Avenue on Thirty-ninth Street, they experienced considerable difficulty, were attacked by some of the women with brickbats, which broke one of the plate-holders. The Italian rag-pickers' alley in South Fifth Avenue was shown; the women at work were suddenly dispersed by one word from the Italian proprietor before their pictures could be caught. An Italian tea-kettle was shown, somewhat large in size, stuffed with dirty linen. In the morning the kettle was used as boiler for boiling the clothes; at night it was employed for making tea. A typical group of New York toughs called "The Growlers," was exhibited, hidden away under one of the dump docks on the East Side. They were factory hands, and got young boys to go after beer which they would drink in these places. A single picture of a young lad eight years old carrying a large pail of beer was quite effective. Other views of the back of tenement-houses showing the multiplicity of clothes-lines; of Baxter Street, crowded with humanity; of Mott and Pell Streets, showing Chinese life; the interior of a Chinese opium den, with the Chinamen laying off in their bunks under its influence: of the Chinese altar in the Joss-house, some of the latter being taken by aid of flash-light, were extremely interesting. Also pictures of the interior of the cheap lodging-houses, the Tombs, the Five Points House of Industry, the Catholic Protectory, with children playing around and Sister Irene in the foreground, who is said to have saved 13,003 children; also the exterior and interior of an uptown branch of the Boys' Lodging House of the Children's Aid Society, established through the beneficence of the late Mrs. Robert L. Stuart. All of the above were exceedingly interesting as showing the beneficent power which these institutions exert in this city. Portraits of children side by side, of how they looked when taken from their hovels, and cruel and wretched parents, and after they were cleaned and cared for by Mr. E. Gerry's "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children," illustrated more forcibly than any word picture the necessity and usefulness of that institution. Several interesting portraits of noted thiefs and forgers, both male and female, taken from the Rogues' Gallery, were shown; Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina, had the handsomest looking face. A fine picture, showing four or five detectives holding a refractory thief while he was having his photograph taken, was quite comical. A good interior of a police office, showing the sergeant recording the facts, with the policeman standing near the rail, holding a foundling wrapped up in a black shawl, and messenger and others looking on, was quite effective and well lighted. Several views of the Arabs in their hovels in Washington Street were exhibited. The women lay around on the floor without any bedding, and were completely embedded and begrimed with dirt. These were secured by aid of the flash-light. There were also two or three excellent interiors of the School for Blind Children. The exhibition terminated with several excellent views of the New York Morgue, interior of Bellevue Hospital, exterior and interior of the Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island, of the Lunatic Asylum on Ward's Island, and of the burying ground on Hart's Island. Mr. Riis related many interesting episodes and facts. It was hard to realize the enormity of the degradation and poverty constantly present in the great city. He remarked that four thousand children were barred out from the public schools, because there was not room enough to accommodate all who could attend. At 10 o'clock the entertainment terminated.[9]
Migrant agricultural workers family. Seven hungry children. Mother, age thirty-two. Father is native Californian. Destitute in pea pickers camp, Nipomo, California, because of the failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tent in order to buy food. Of the 2,500 people in this camp, most of them were destitute.[14]
"It was raining, the camera bags were packed, and I had on the seat beside me in the car the results of my long trip, the box containing all those rolls and packs of exposed film ready to mail back to Washington. It was a time of relief. Sixty-five miles an hour for seven hours would get me home to my family that night, and my eyes were glued to the wet and gleaming highway that stretched out ahead. I felt freed, for I could lift my mind off my job and think of home. I was on my way and barely saw a crude sign with pointing arrow which flashed by at the side of the road, saying PEA-PICKERS CAMP. But out of the corner of my eye I did see it I didn't want to stop, and didn't. I didn't want to remember that I had seen it, so I drove on and ignored the summons. Then, accompanied by the rhythmic hum of the windshield wipers, arose an inner argument: Dorothea, how about that camp back there? What is the situation back there? Are you going back? Nobody could ask this of you, now could they? To turn back certainly is not necessary. Haven't you plenty of negatives already on this subject? Isn't this just one more of the same? Besides, if you take a camera out in this rain, you're just asking for trouble. Now be reasonable, etc. etc., etc. Having well convinced myself for 20 miles that I could continue on, I did the opposite. Almost without realizing what I was doing I made a U-turn on the empty highway. I went back those 20 miles and turned off the highway at that sign, PEA-PICKERS CAMP. I was following instinct, not reason; I drove into that wet and soggy camp and parked my car like a homing pigeon. I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was 32. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it. The pea crop at Nipomo had frozen and there was no work for anybody. But I did not approach the tents and shelters of other stranded pea-pickers. It was not necessary; I knew I had recorded the essence of my assignment."[15]

This proposal for Belgrade's waterfront has been designed by the architecture studios Lompreta Nolte architects and Mequetraffic, both from Rio de Janeiro. The concept for this program - composed of temporary and permanent exhibition space, and a commercial area - is to create an urban hub connecting key urban points surrounding the building.
These key points are namely the Belgrade fortress, Kalemegdan Park, Beton Hala and Kosancicev Venac. From the historical context of Belgrade fortress, connected to the natural context of Sava River and Kalemegdan Park, and the cultural context already present at the Beton Hala building, the architecture is woven in a cultural network in which physical connections are to be made.
By using the landscape as a support, the architecture extends the park behind it and brings it to the public, creating a long boulevard that connects the low city where the docks are located, and the high city, where the city's fortress and park are. The architecture is composed by several volumes that are superposed in different angles, creating interesting panoramas of the waterfront area. Interconnected open and closed spaces are created to enhance the experience of the architecture.

Today, one in three children in the UK grow up in a home with only one parent. But are we doing what's best for the children of separated parents?
On tonight's episode of Channel 4 Dispatches follows presenter Tim Lovejoy, a divorced father of two, as he investigates the current situation surrounding shared parenting following divorce or separation.
Tim speaks to a wide range of voices and explores the psychological effects of parental separation on children, hearing from teenagers about their personal experiences.
Speaking on Daybreak this morning he explained the process saying:
"I looked at all the views from all the different people. What is amazing about the documentary is everyone I went to interview, I was very gung ho but when you meet people everyone cares about the children, there is just a massive differing of opinion. But what I do think is that society has moved on hugely since the 70s when I grew up."
Tim added:
"Dads want part of it now, my dad is really hands on with my children and my grandparents weren't. Things are moving on and I think we need the legislation and the law need to reflect how families are."
The programme airs at 8pm on Channel 4 tonight and investigates the roles of mums and dads in 2013, asking whether current legislation in this area is up-to-date with the way in which modern families operate, and exploring different ways of sharing parenting post-separation.
Tim continued:
"There are financial gains if you are the primary carer and so this is what the system is ste up to do. There is a bill going through at the moment for shared parenting. The system and society needs to tell parents you are equal. I think we should be looking at a 50/50 starting point."
The chef uses social media to generate debate, much of which will be incorporate into the film. And, in a first for Dispatches, Channel 4 will be showing behind-the-scenes clips of the production process online, to inform the debate in the run-up to the broadcast.
After doing his research for the programme, Lovejoy now believes that changes need to be made from the top down and explained:
"The system at the moment is all about bricks and mortar. It's all about a house, a bedroom and a set of drawers. I think stability should be about if you have been in a family with the love of a father and mother, that's the stability you need to take through with you."
Sharing Mum and Dad airs on Channel 4, tonight, at 8pm.
Leave your comments below…
One Response to "TIM LOVEJOY GETS PERSONAL IN SHARING MUM AND DAD: CHANNEL 4 DISPATCHES"
I agree, the system is set up in favour of the mother. With a view to most fathers "do a runner"
As the father of my two children I had to go through the court process to have shared parenting.
My ex didnt agree and through everthing bar the kitchen sink to try to prevent this from happening. Through pacience and doing things the right way, The courts agreed that this was the best interests of the children to have shared reponsibilty of the children. This has given them a blance that both mum and dad are both brining them up and getting them ready for life!I would be more than happy to help in any way I can

Your accommodation contract is legally binding. Make sure you read and understand it fully before accepting it.
Remember to adjust your accommodation payments for terms two and three.
Contractual information
Please read your contract before you accept your accommodation agreement. It contains information and guidance about the terms and conditions that apply to your residency in accommodation, and the regulations applicable to University residences.
The document contains information that will help make your stay at the University of Exeter as easy and as pleasant as possible. The information it contains is not exhaustive but may give answers to some questions about your accommodation.
As a student at the University of Exeter you will be bound by the University's Regulations. A full copy of the Regulations can be found in the University Calendar.
Many of the student residences in Exeter are owned and managed by the University, however some are either owned or managed by carefully selected partners. These partners will usually employ their own staff to carry out services such as reception, cleaning and maintenance.
Our cancellation policy
We will cancel your contract if you give us written confirmation (by email or post) within five working days, beginning on the day after the date the contract becomes binding. This is the date when you accepted your accommodation contract and it has been checked and confirmed by the University. Students will receive a dated email of confirmation which will be considered the date at which the contract becomes binding.
If you fail to notify us within the five day period, you are no longer entitled to cancel the contract.
You are not able to cancel your contract once we have started to provide the accommodation to you: after you move in, it is too late to cancel.
Your deposit
Once you have been made an offer of accommodation, you are required to pay a deposit of £300.00 in order to secure your place in our residences. Check our room allocation procedure to understand when we will process your application and when you will hear about University accommodation.
This accommodation deposit will be split and credited equally against your accommodation charges in terms two and three. This will reduce the outstanding amount for terms two and three and should be taken into account when making your termly payments.
If you wish to pay the whole year in advance, please remember to deduct the amount of your deposit from your total charges due. If you do not do this, we will refund the deposit to you within the first payment period if you notify the Student Fees Office of your overpayment.

I've been living in an apt complex for about 1 1/2 years. It's been good up untill now. A guy moved in above me and he is always stomping around and slamming doors at all hours of the night. It's really irritating. My landlord asked me how things were going at the complex and I told her and then she told me that someone got their tires slashed in the parking lot. The people that live above me are the type of people that would do that kind of thing so I am afraid to say anything to them. I dont think the police could help since they have to catch them in the act. What should I do? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Fri, Jan 30, 04 at 6:53
Tell the landlord that you will be moving as soon as your lease is up because of the noise, unless THEY do something about the noisy guy upstairs. And start looking for another place RIGHT NOW. |

TUCSON- The Tucson Police Department is investigating a murder-suicide on Tucson's South Side.
According to TPD Sergeant Chris Widmer, police were called to a home in the 5900 block of South Randall Boulevard around 1 a.m. Saturday, after family members found two bodies inside the residence.
Officers located a 35-year-old female and a 34-year-old male with obvious signs of trauma.
Detectives learned the male and female had a domestic relationship and the female was visiting the home.
Widmer says detectives were unable to determine the cause of the death for the female, but believe she may have been strangled.
The male was found with gunshot trauma and a handgun near his body.
According to Widmer, detectives believe the male murdered the female and then killed himself.

Google and Verizon Wireless seem to be in a perpetual state of "it's complicated." The protracted issues with the Nexus 7 LTE, the infamously terrible launch and support of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and a few other spats come to mind. Now JR Raphael of ComputerWorld is reporting that Verizon has unceremoniously dumped the 100MB per month of free packaged wireless data that came with the LTE model of the Chromebook Pixel that went on sale last year.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got an impressively atmospheric survival horror game, a game that mixes Peggle and Angry Birds, and a game that's way too indie for you, man.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got an interesting online turn-based RPG, another pixelated adventure from Nostalgic, and a game that brings both the wub-wub and the unse-unse.
You know that moment you have when you're playing an endless runner and you're ten seconds from beating your record, then you smash into an easily-avoided obstacle by the width of about two pixels? The colorful Time Surfer has found a way around that: you can rewind time to cover up your mistakes. The Prince of Persia's ears must be turning red right about now.
Time Surfer got its start on the Humble Mobile Bundle, but now it's available from the Play Store for a reasonable $.99.
It wouldn't be a new month without a roundup of the previous month's best Play Store offerings. Of course, we've already taken a look at the best new apps from February 2013, but games – as usual – were also well-represented by new entries last month.
Typically, we try to narrow down our list of the top new apps and games to five entries each month. This month, however, saw the debut of plenty of new games that are definitely worth taking a look at, and have included seven of the very best games no Android gamer should miss.
As promised, Pixowl has launched their iOS hit The Sandbox on the Play Store. It's a free download for anything running Android 2.3 or later. Not to be confused with the open world sandbox genre (Grand Theft Auto and the like), this game is an almost literal sandbox. You're an apprentice deity, with the goal of combining elements into different pixelated constructions. Then go Old Testament and blow it up.
If you ever spent hours on the Etch-a-Sketch and thought that what it could really use was a dual-core processor, check out the video below. It's The Sandbox, an iOS hit game that's headed for Android soon. Well, "game" may not be the right word - it's more of a simplistic art/animation/music engine that happens to be played like a game. You take on the role of "apprentice deity" and get to play with the classical elements, completing simple missions or moving freestyle on the face of the waters.
Inspired by the popular Flash-based puzzler Coign of Vantage by Bobblebrook (which has also been available as an iOS game for some time), Noodlecake has released their latest creation to the Play Store – Pixel Twist.
The game's listing describes it as "a unique little 'zen exercise'," and it undoubtedly lives up to that billing. The goal of the game is simple – rotate a cloud of pixels until it matches a specified image.
The name "League of Evil" doesn't really spark thoughts of cute little pixelated characters, does it? It didn't for me, anyway. After watching the iOS trailer for the game, though, three things came to mind almost immediately: MegaMan, Contra, and pixels. At that point, I was sold.
Apparently, those cute little pixel men are pretty angry, wretched guys, because they've teamed together to form the League of Evil. And it's your job to stop them but running, jumping, flipping, punching, and other hero-esque things.
You may remember Pixel Qi, an ambitious display maker looking to provide users with brilliant displays that not only save energy, but which are actually readable in sunlight. Since we covered their 7" and 10.1" displays way back in May, the company has continued working, announcing in a blog post yesterday a new display which "matches the resolution of the iPad3 screen, and its full image quality including matching or exceeding contrast, color saturation, the viewing angle, and so forth with massive power savings." In the post, Mary Lou Jepsen, founder of Pixel Qi, goes on to explain the display's special low power mode which "runs at a full 100x power reduction from the peak power consumed by the iPad3 screen."
Of course, the new display's ratings in the table above are "proposed" and not quite official just yet.

Baristadors Coffee owners, Nick Evans and Gerrik Latta, bring years of entrepreneur endeavors into their passion for the coffee world. Gerrik's interest in cooking started at an early age and he gave up his love for bicycle racing and sales to concentrate on providing the best possible coffee products and service. Nick's years as a long-haul truck driver, and way to much crappy coffee, propelled him to find that perfect cup of java. What motivation! Both Baristadors Coffee owners are highly trained and experienced coffee Baristadors who are committed to excellence in products and service.
Baristadors Coffee is commitment to excellence which is confirmed by it's 8th consecutive rating of 100 out of 100 by the Oregon Health Department. No "dirty dining" here!
Investing in the neighborhood community is another priority for Baristadors Coffee. Gerrik serves on the West Portland Park Neighborhood Association. Also, past special events at Baristadors Coffee have honored customers and neighborhood children while benefited the Oregon Food Bank and Oregon Humane Society. Local artists are also given the opportunity to show their works each month, including the art projects from Markham Elementary School and Wilson High School.
Stay tuned as there is always something new happening with these Baristadors!

General Assembly Rolls Out Video Classes
If you click over to the General Assembly website these days you will find a new section for video classes under the heading Hybrid Education. It's the most robust online learning efforts GA has introduced so far, and gives a taste of the way they will be deploying the $4 million they raised earlier this year from folks like Yuri Milner and Jeff Bezos.
So far there are two courses online, Introduction to Web APIs and Forming Your Startup. They are on the short side, 45 minutes and a little under half and hour. The lesson on Web APIs is the sort of tutorial you might image finding on a Khan Academy. The course on forming your own startup, with Adam Dinow, an attorney at Wilson Sonsini, is a uniquely GA product, covering the legal intricacies and tax advantages of forming an LLC versus a C Corp. with the upbeat zeal of web tutorial.

Dime Q&A: Hip-Hop Star Future Talks Auto-Tune, French Montana & What The NBA Is Missing
Confidence is crucial when deciding to become a rapper. If you don't exude a certain arrogance that drips off you, you might as well reconsider your career. Being brash and pretentious is actually a plus and not frowned upon in hip-hop. It's cool to have the lyrics and flows, but being the quintessential rapper requires a dose of cockiness. Read More »
