Is being seven minutes late grounds for dismissal?
Apparently so, says Latina Thomas, Magic Johnson's former personal flight attendant, who claims to have been fired last month for being a tiny bit tardy.
Thomas, 45, is suing Magic Johnson Entertainment and Clay Lacy Aviation, her joint employers, in LA County Superior Court for age discrimination, wrongful termination and multiple labor code violations. Among other things, she claims the defendants failed to provide meal and rest breaks, pay her overtime, or keep accurate records of the hours she worked. She is seeking "compensatory damages" for the wages she was allegedly denied since she began working for him in 2004.
According to the lawsuit, Thomas, who worked on the basketball legend's private Gulfstream jet, earned $75,000 a year and a $25,000 bonus. A third of her time was spent catering to Johnson's requests: stocking the plane with newspapers, DVDs and "highly specific in-flight food and beverage choices," such as red vine liquorice, which she was required to "regularly squeeze to make sure they were soft," the suit claims. She was the only flight attendant on duty, and since she was so busy taking care of Johnson and his guests, she was never allowed full rest breaks or meal breaks.
In 2010, the suit alleges, Thomas–a former flight attendant for United–injured her wrist and took a medical leave. A "substantially younger" flight attendant took her place. When Thomas returned, Johnson became "less cordial" and "more standoffish and dismissive of her," she alleges.
On Sept. 6, after trying to waiting at a deli counter trying to get "two types of specific turkey" for Johnson's sandwich, she arrived at the plane seven minutes late. Two weeks later, Thomas was fired for being "15 minutes late" for the September 6 flight–a pretext, she alleges, for age discrimination, noting that she was immediately replaced with the woman who had filled in for her when she was on medical leave.
Thomas claims she has been "emotionally devastated" by the situation, and feels as if a "rug has been pulled out from under her," according to the suit. Since she was "falsely terminated for her conduct" she claims she's not able to find work again as a flight attendant, either by a private operator or an airline.
Neither Thomas's attorney, William Becker, nor reps from Johnson's company returned phone inquiries from ABC News. A representative from Clay Lacy Aviation in Van Nuys, Calif., had no comment.

It looks like I am going to have to answer my own question. On Jan 11, I started 4 pots that I have kept at 4 degrees Celsius and 6 pots at 20 degrees. 3 of those I had soaked the seeds overnight first. Yesterday I had my first seedling in one of the warm pots with where the seeds had not been soaked. That is the fastest germination I have ever had for a cranesbill geranium. Leo |

text: The rich really are different in director John Carpenter's sci-fi action movie They Live (1988, 1 hr., 33 mins., R). They are aliens who have succeeded in disguising both their gruesome appearance and the mankind-enslaving messages they have hidden throughout the mass media: OBEY! CONSUME! Who can save the world from these ghoulish Gordon Gekkos? That would be wrestling legend Roddy Piper, whose homeless Everyman, Nada, becomes a gun-toting alien slayer after he dons special sunglasses that allow him to see through the ET conspiracy literally. Carpenter's anti-Reaganomics polemic is about as subtle as the blows Piper and costar Keith David exchange during their notoriously long fight scene. But in the era of Occupy Wall Street, the film's sense of righteous indignation against the One Percenters is timely once again. And while Piper is more comfortable delivering punches than dialogue, a commentary by him and Carpenter (which has appeared on previous DVD editions) reveals that it was the wrestler who came up with the film's most memorable line: ''I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum.'' Meanwhile, Carpenter fans should be content with the clutch of new EXTRAS, which include interviews with David, lead actress Meg Foster, and the entertainingly cantankerous filmmaker, who responds to a question about whether he ever considered shortening the movie's fight scene with an abrupt ''F---, no.'' Consume! B+

Donald's chronicle of the plan didn't add up for me. I don't mean that as a complaint or criticism. But I am convinced he wasn't telling us everything he knew. Just one reason for my suspicion: Donald made it sound he wasn't expecting to ever see Walter and company again. So why did he remove The Boy from safe keeping the pocket universe, place him with the kindly couple on Thimble Island, and instruct them to begin broadcasting signals at a specific point in the future?
A later, private conversation between Donald and Walter as they were collecting items for their time travel device heightened my suspicion. Walter revealed that he could now recall one aspect of the plan: He needed to die in order to make it work. But he couldn't remember why. Donald filled in one blank. He said the Walter of 21 years ago felt that if self-sacrifice was necessary, Walter should be the one to make it, in order to atone for all the collateral damage he had caused from his well-intentioned but often catastrophic mad science. Donald then told Walter that at one point during their work together 21 years earlier, the elder Bishop began to doubt himself and the plan. At that time, Donald gave him a gift to buck him up, an artifact from the original timeline: The white tulip drawing, which, if you can recall (The Greatest Episode of Fringe Ever!), had been sketched and sent to Walter (anonymously) by a fellow genius (heartbroken, tragedy-rocked time traveler Dr. Alistair Peck), who could not accept the bum hand history had dealt him and risked dehumanization to change it. Original Timeline Walter had received that drawing at a low point in his relationship with Peter, and he interpreted it a symbol of God's providence and forgiveness.
Now, here in Rebootlandia 2036, Walter told Donald he could very much use that white tulip totem… but he didn't know where it was, and neither did Donald. My theory? The white tulip drawing is the last item in the scavenger hunt. And when Walter finds it, he's going to have an epiphany: The plan is all wrong. I think this is why The Boy restored Walter's memory of the original timeline. It wasn't just because he wanted Walter to remember he had been loved in advance of his death. It was to prepare Walter to learn for himself the lesson of so many previous episodes of Fringe, from "White Tulip" to "And Those We Left Behind" and "A Short Story About Love." To quote and paraphrase from another show dear to my heart: Whatever happened, happened. All of this – the experience of five seasons of formative turmoil -- matters. Our past is important. We need it to create meaning for the present, to build a better future. We need it so we can give and receive the most powerful things we can give another human being, the things we need as a people to do more than survive, but thrive: Forgiveness, redemption, and love. We shouldn't try to escape it, change it, destroy it. (Also see: the entire scavenger hunt storyline, a complex metaphor for the interplay between/interdependency of past and present; a storyline in which the lessons learned/changes produced as a result of arduous, often painful experience has been as vital and important than the stuff acquired, if not more so.)
So sorry Olivia: I do not support your hope to resurrect your dead daughter and your dream of recovering dandelion days in the park via the magic bullet of resetting history. After hearing the plan, she so salivated at the prospect of Etta's return that she had to excuse herself to Donald's kitchen and gulp down a glass of water. Peter showed more reserve, either because he didn't want to get his hopes up – or he knew better. We shall see.
Bottom line: Ret-con is a really, really bad idea.
Which, interestingly, was the explicit point of the episode's other storyline: Captain Windmark's trip to the 27th century – a perpetually dark retro dystopia – to investigate the origins of the anomaly and to seek permission from his superiors to travel back in time to a point where he could kill our heroes, thus neutralizing them as a threat. The request was denied for a few reasons. First, Windmark was told that The Powers That Be were not prepared to deal with the historical ripple effects (i.e., a timeline reboot) such an action would produce. He clarified that this was exactly why the Observers invaded when they invaded: This point in history offered a 99.999999% chance of success (i.e., colonizing the past without subverting the future). Second, Windmark was told that The Powers That Be simply didn't view Team Bishop and The Child as meaningful threats, and in fact, they were concerned about Windmark's fixation with them. "Is there something wrong with you?" asked The Commander. Yes, there was, said Windmark. He was experiencing something he shouldn't. Emotions. Specifically: Hatred. He wanted to eradicate lowly, beastly humanity from the face of the Earth. His sentiments were truly scary… and yet, I felt badly for him, as Windmark was basically admitting that he was broken. He shouldn't be feeling anything, because Observers don't feel.
Now, in my last recap, I theorized that Walter Bishop will save the world from the Observers by saving the Observers themselves. This episode certainly seemed to corroborate that speculation. September's father yearnings, Windmark's hate, and the great scene in Donald's apartment when the Observer tapped his toes to the music on the radio -- all of these bits were meant to demonstrate that the Observers aren't total machine men -- that they can be redeemed. (Tangent: The Observer, infected with music, reminded me of this great essay that traces the evolution of music via viral meme theory.) I still like the idea that the road to salvations goes through fixing, not destroying, the Observers... but I really don't know if I like the idea of accomplishing that fix in such a way that leads to another reboot.
But here's another idea.
If you were a logic-driven being, and you could see that you weren't operating properly, what would be the logical thing to do? Maybe turn yourself in for repairs? Perhaps even shut down? And what if you were to conclude that your malfunction was due to a design flaw that affects your entire artificially created species? Would you might consider shutting down the rest of your kind, too?
My alternative theory for how our heroes will defeat the Observers: They won't. Windmark will.
The episode left us with a couple curious cliffhangers. First, Donald disappeared again. He said he needed to do a couple things on his own. I think of one of those things will be to get one of those Observer brain jacks and Observer-ize himself again. Second, The Observer Child did an unexpected thing: He gave himself up to The Loyalists. Reasons? Unknown. My theory? Our "What child is this?" messiah boy with the purple hoody was putting himself in position to make a heroic act, a sacrifice that will help save the day, affirm the themes of Fringe, and replace Walter in the somebody-must-die requirement of the plan.
In other words: The father must live.
The end is nigh. See you at the apocalypse. The message board, for one more week, is yours.

1. LAST EXIT TO SPRINGFIELD (pictured)
Airdate March 11, 1993
Here's the thing: ''The Simpsons'' is all about subatomic degrees of brilliance. Is ''Last Exit'' that much better than ''Cape Feare'' or ''Duffless''? Not really. We can't tell you that it has the single best joke or visual gag in the show's history. But we can say that this episode is virtually flawless, the product of a series at the height of its creative powers -- when the satire was savage and relevant, when names like John Swartzwelder, George Meyer, and Conan O'Brien were relatively unknown, when Maude Flanders lived. So it is that we find America's favorite family at Painless (formerly ''Painful'') Dentistry, because Lisa is in need of braces. Meanwhile, at the nuclear plant, Mr. Burns is trying to ax the union dental plan. The rest is the stuff of syndication legend: Burns facing down ''brilliant'' labor kingpin Homer Simpson; Homer Simpson facing down his own brain (''Lisa needs braces/DENTAL PLAN!''); Grampa rattling on about wearing onions on his belt. ''Last Exit'' is a glorious symphony of the high and the low, of satirical shots at unions and sweet ruminations on the humiliations of adolescence (as evidenced by Lisa, who copes with a medieval mouth contraption), and, of course, all those ''D'oh!''s. The things, in other words, that make us love ''The Simpsons'' in the first place. Thus we proclaim: Best. Episode. EVER.
Airdate Oct. 21, 1993
It begins with ''Citizen Kane,'' ends somewhere near the ''Planet of the Apes,'' and in between, manages to find time to include Hitler, the Ramones, and 64 slices of American cheese. But despite being one of ''The Simpsons''' most spectacularly overstuffed episodes, ''Rosebud'' has plenty of heart, though it is the Mephistophelian ticker belonging to Mr. Burns, who, on the eve of his birthday -- somewhere north of 100 -- finds himself pining for Bobo, his long-lost teddy bear. Burns and Smithers' efforts to retrieve the tattered toy from Maggie show why they'll always be TV's most functional dysfunctional couple: Smithers (who fantasizes about his boss jumping out of a birthday cake) isn't happy unless his boss is happy -- which happens only after an empathetic Maggie gives Bobo up. It's a moment that proves even Springfield's twisted billionaire can learn to love -- though he conveniently forgets how a few seconds later.
Airdate Oct. 7, 1993
''The Simpsons'' is, at its heart, one big parody, but even Homer Thompson could recognize ''Cape Feare'' as the show's most meticulous and manic pop-culture takeoff. Not only is it a pitch-perfect send-up of the Martin Scorsese remake (with Kelsey Grammer's Sideshow Bob traveling to Terror Lake to hunt down and murder his pint-size nemesis, Bart), but it also features one of the most bizarre scenes in television history. We're referring, of course, to the rakes. Think about it. How many other series would waste valuable prime-time real estate by showing a man whacking himself in the face with a garden rake not once, not twice, but NINE TIMES?!? If ever there was a gag genius in its repetitive stupidity (progressing from funny to not so funny to the funniest thing ever), this is it -- merely the sharpest cut in an entire episode that just plain kills.
Airdate Jan. 14, 1993
Fast-talking huckster Lyle Lanley (Phil Hartman, natch) sells the town a faulty monorail; only through Marge's intervention is the town saved. That's the plot of ''Marge vs. the Monorail,'' but it's not the point. The point is that the episode has arguably the highest throwaway-gag-per-minute ratio of any ''Simpsons,'' and all of them are laugh-out-loud funny. You want parodies? In its first five minutes, ''Monorail'' skewers ''The Flintstones,'' ''Beverly Hills Cop,'' ''The Silence of the Lambs,'' and ''Batman.'' Celebrity cameos? Leonard Nimoy bores the town with tales from the ''Star Trek'' set. ''Simpsons'' in jokes? Country star Lurleen Lumpkin, from ''Colonel Homer,'' has a bit part. A musical number? ''The Music Man''-inspired ''The Monorail Song'' is, well, inspired. Elaborate visuals that were clearly devised by a roomful of overgrown boys? This episode features giant remote-controlled mechanical ants, a radioactive squirrel, an escalator to nowhere, and -- in case we haven't mentioned it already -- Leonard Nimoy.
Airdate Feb. 16, 1997
''The Simpsons'' gets away with more hot-button hotdoggery than any other show, and the most cunning example may be this flamboyant installment, in which the family befriends John (John Waters), the droll owner of a kitschy collectibles shop -- but then Homer finds out that he's gay! For a man who once called a spoon ''the metal dealie...you use...to dig...food,'' Homer attains a new level of keg-headedness here, in his foolish paranoia (''He didn't give you gay, did he?'') and absurd anger toward John for not mincing around and declaring his orientation (''You know me, Marge -- I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals fa-laaaming!''). But the same-sex silliness never turns offensive, perhaps because of the sincere subtext: By worrying that John is going to convert Bart, Homer actually fears that he hasn't been a good father -- thus explaining the accidental visit to the gay steel mill. Hot (and funny) stuff, coming through!

Anna Chapman Spy Glasses: 007 or 00-Sexy?
You might have thought that spies didn't need all those fancy gadgets anymore, but you'd be wrong. These fancy glasses are a little less geeky than the other spy glasses we've seen (but not too much so). Naturally, the Anna Chapman moniker comes from the sultry Russian spy who was busted wearing specs like these.
Truth or fantasy, we'll never know, but these specs will allow you to look stylish while you're spying. Although they're not exactly inconspicuous.
They've got 4GB of internal storage, which allows you to store up to one hour of continuous video in high resolution (1,280×720, 30fps). On top of that, they also have a built-in microphone. A handy USB port allows you to download all of your missions.
Given the bad Photoshop job below, I'm sure that Anna Chapman had nothing to do with the making of these. But you'll still make Q proud if you wear these stylish spy glasses. They're available over at Chinavasion for about $114 (USD).

Harvey Mackay's humble, yet highly competitive edge is not easily matched in the consulting world. MacKay is a vigorous writer, having published several books exploring corporate culture, economic and business strategy. He argues that lives only change from the books they read and the people they meet. Strangers could hold the insight or perspective needed to springboard an innovative idea into reality.
The importance of people in life can often go unnoticed and unconsidered. By engaging in open-minded thought and spontaneous discussion, one can develop more dynamic and multi-functional strategies. You can find inspiration in everyone, it is just a matter of being open minded and observant.
Mackay reminds that "knowledge does not become power until it is used." Taking in wisdom and experience is beneficial, but ideas without actions are worthless.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Eli!
Facts about Eli
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Eli's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Eli is a sweet and affectionate 5 month old kitten.(orange and white) He has soft fur and loves to be held. He is with his friend Maya in this picture. They don't have to be adopted together but if you are looking for a pair these two make a cute couple.
Other Pets at Lost Paws Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Eli, a Pittstown Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Pittstown, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Pittstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pittstown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pittstown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pittstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bob Marshall finds "Horses That Run Far Away" on his 2015 sophomore disc that offers a baker's dozen of cowboy country songs that are a fine selection of stories. His 2007 debut disc was "As Good As My Dog Thinks I Am" and he must have the same hope with horses as a real life, second generation cowboy from Ortonville, Michigan.

The Epic History Of The Record Industry By Gareth Murphy
This book is a definitive expose of the evolution of recorded music. It clocks in at a lugubrious 357 pages with an additional 21 pages that include knockout bibliography and Index sections. Murphy has done his research well, never skimping or missing a beat with an incredible knack of narrative prose that keeps the reader on the edge of his seat.

I bought this book when it was published in 2009, but didn't get around to reading it until five years later. I don't know what got in the way. I had consumed several Beatles books from Bob Spitz's biblical volume to the Love You Make by Derek Taylor, Phillip Norman's Shout and Hunter Davies 2nd revised edition of The Beatles. I was decided to explore Carlin's book to get a deeper understanding of why my favorite Beatle was becoming less intriguing to me, especially with the deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison.

Saginaw and the entire Great Lakes Bay region has experienced a severe blow with the untimely passing of attorney William T-Street only a few days shy of his 69th birthday. Bill was a Vietnam era veteran of the U.S. Army and also a committed anti-war activist. He graduated from the University of Michigan Law School and was admitted to the state bar in 1975, after which he joined Legal Services of Eastern Michigan and began his private practice with fellow attorney and partner, Barbara Klimaszewski in the firm of Klimaszewski & Street.

The state of our union took a severe blow last month with the repeal of Dodd-Frank provisions by Congress that were designed to prohibit the excesses of Wall Street speculation that put taxpayers on the hook for the mortgage-loan crisis of 2006, which our economy is still hobbled from; but this is nothing compared to the severe blow that the United States Supreme Court leveled to the constitutional rights of citizens in late December.

"He can take one bite of anything," she says, "and tell you exactly what ingredients are in it. Then he can go to the kitchen and make the same dish perfectly. He has talent."
Kai Shing and Michelle Lai opened their first restaurant, Asian Fusion in North Lauderdale, last February. It's a place to tug the heartstrings of any semisensitive foodie. You've seen it all before: painstaking decoration including plants, lacquered tables, and carefully placed bamboo screens stuck next to a Publix out in the middle of freaking nowhere. The food's fantastic. And it's often a ghost town on Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
1327 S. State Road 7
North Lauderdale, FL 33068
Category: Restaurant > Chinese
Region: North Lauderdale
But swallow the lump in your throat and head for that mostly empty glow. At Asian Fusion, Michelle Lai's at the front counter, merrily chatting away with a sated customer on his way out -- her new best friend. Michelle loves to talk as much as I love to eat.
"That's a crab," she told me, pointing at an animal roughly the size of a manhole cover. The servers had ferried this thing out to the family at the next table; they were standing around, half proud, half curious, to see what the family would do with it. I kid you not. It looked like an extra from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
"It is not a crab," I said. But I knew she wasn't lying. For a place this size, the quality of the food is ridiculous. Shrimp are big, fat, and juicy -- a full pound goes in every order. Whole trout look like they were just hooked from some misty backyard river. You can call ahead and order an entire Forbidden City Duck. And everything's so cheap you can eat and eat and feel like you're spending Monopoly money. Somebody needs to bust this juicy secret wide open -- I can't eat this much ginger and scallion catfish all by myself.
The Lai family jumped off the fast train, metaphorically speaking -- kids, baggage, and all -- as it sped through North Lauderdale, and they deserve all the success they can handle. Michelle tells me that Kai Shing grew up in a wealthy extended family headed by his grandfather, a celebrated Chinese general. The household was so big, it amounted to an entire village: A hundred people sat down together for lunch and dinner every single day. By the time he escaped to New York City, around 1970, Kai Shing wasn't much fazed by the idea of cooking for a crowd. Feed a hundred hungry Chinese relatives and the world is your oyster.
And then he spent 30 years turning out noodles and dumplings at the infamous Golden Unicorn in New York's Chinatown, a place vast, sprawling, and, at least on weekends, practically psychotic. It's a name synonymous with the house specialty, dim sum. Golden Unicorn is three floors of total mayhem; on busy days, 1,000 people sometimes eat at once. Staff relays information via walkie-talkies. Servers make hundreds of trips an hour pushing steaming carts full of bean buns, spare ribs, shark's fin dumplings, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. The help runs the gamut from phenomenally rude to barely civil -- they'll sharply tell you exactly how much you should tip them if you look as if you need the advice.
Now, after 30 years of turning out beef balls at warp speed for family banquets at Chinese New Year, it seems Lai wants to create a restaurant as far from Golden Unicorn as he can get, and I'm not talking only in literal miles. At Asian Fusion, we did find a trio of dim sum dishes served as appetizers -- luscious little dumplings, soft as velvet, stuffed with pork, shrimp, glistening mushrooms, and crunchy vegetables ($3.95); the Fusion spring rolls filled with "infused" chicken ($2.95), and a sticky, scrumptious mess of boneless spare ribs ($5.95) that had us licking our fingers. But otherwise, the Lai's new restaurant is smallish, the service is personable, and the menu is all creative, all the time.
So where did Lai learn to cook stuff like this delicious sizzling baked conch ($6.95)? Not in the general's household, I'll bet, and definitely not at the Unicorn. Chopped conch, clams, scallops, and shrimp, flavored with onions, fennel, and bits of coconut; tossed in a rich curry sauce; and baked inside a conch shell, this dish has the comfort-food texture of a savory pudding and the aromas of Malaysia and Southern India. You'll dig every last drop out of the whorled shell with a spoon. You know you're done when you can hear the sound of the ocean in that picked-clean vessel.
Lai makes shit up, his wife confesses. "We're the guinea pigs. He's always trying new things on us. He loves to create. So he'll add one thing, take away one thing, until he gets it just right. Even on his day off, he's cooking, cooking, cooking all day long. I have to call up my friends and say, 'You want to come over for dinner? We have too much... '"

[UPDATED: January 27, 2015]
Thinking about getting a new credit card, or just looking? We've put together the top reasons you should acquire a new card as well as the best cards out there.
It's likely you haven't been paying much attention to how your current credit card rewards you for making purchases. In fact, many so-called "reward" cards have tricky formulas, limits on the amounts you can earn and rules that require you to sign up for special quarterly rewards. Oftentimes what looks like a good deal can leave you earning much less than you could with a better card.
We looked high and low for the best reward credit cards, investigating all the top cards out there. Out of all our research 2 credit cards rose to the top of the reward card heap:
Barclay Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard
If you like to travel, snap this card up. The Barclay Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard offers 2 miles per dollar spent on ALL purchases and a juicy 40,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months (equal to $400 in travel). Add to that no foreign transaction fees and you've got yourself a great rewards card. There is a $89 annual fee that is waived the first year, but most people will earn enough rewards by using the card to more than make up for it.
It's easy to use the miles you earn, too. Just use your card to pay for travel however you'd like – with any airline, hotel or discount travel engine – and then redeem your earned miles as statement credit towards all or part of of your travel purchases. You'll also get a 10% miles back bonus when you make that travel redemption, effectively giving you 2.2 miles back per dollar spent. Add it all up, and this is our top-ranked rewards card.
Citi Double Cash Card
If you like the feeling of all the money you can earn with cash back cards, you'll love Citi Double Cash (a NextAdvisor advertiser). Just like the name says you'll earn 2% cash back on every single purchase you make, not just in certain categories or on purchases you need to sign up for. There are two steps to earning the complete 2% back – you'll earn the first 1% when you buy something with the card. You'll receive the second 1% – for a total of 2% back – when you pay for that purchase, whether it's over time (just make sure you're making the minimum balance payments), or all at once. On top of great cash back earnings you'll also get a 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchase and balance transfers. Plus, there is no annual fee to pay. All together this is a terrific card that will earn you some serious cash back rewards.
Need to make a big purchase or purchases but can't pay them off right away? Or already paying interest on a credit card balance? The fiscally wise thing to do is to get a card that offers a NO interest period so you can pay down the balance without paying any fees. These cards are basically equivalent to an interest-free loan, and will save you a ton of money.
Citi Simplicity Card
Can you say 0% intro APR for 18-MONTHS? Featuring the longest 0% APR period of all the balance transfer cards we've seen, Citi Simplicity offers an 18-month 0% intro APR on all purchases and balance transfers. You'll also enjoy no late fees and no annual fees.
Slate from Chase
With NO balance transfer fees, a lengthy 15-month 0% APR on balance transfers and purchases, and no annual fees,the Slate from Chase is a terrific balance transfer card. Not only will you save money on interest fees during the 0% 15-month intro APR period, but you'll also be able to transfer your balance to the card (in the first 60 days) without paying any money. This is a rarity in the credit card world, and yet another huge money-saver this card offers. It's a great tool for saving cash on any holiday purchases you might have lingering on your other credit cards.
Whether you're new to the world of credit or just want to improve your credit score, getting another credit card can help. That's because another credit card will add to the total amount of revolving credit you have and help your credit utilization ratio. This ratio is basically just how much credit you have compared to how much of that credit you're using. So if you have $10,000 in credit available and are using $5,000 of it your credit utilization ratio is 50%. Now if you get another credit card with $5,000 in credit your total credit will increase to $15,000, bringing your credit utilization ratio down to 33%. Since up to 30% of your credit score is based on whether you've maxed out your total credit line, getting another credit card can assist in improving your score. Just remember not to get too many new credit cards at one time as that might appear as if you need credit, potentially causing your credit score to dip.
There are even cards for people with limited credit or past/current credit issues that can help you improve your credit score with regular and timely payments against your balance.
Barclay Rewards Mastercard – Average Credit
Have average credit? Look no further than the Barclay Rewards Mastercard – Average Credit. Designed specifically for anyone with just average credit (estimated as being between 600 and 680 on the FICO® Score scale) it features a strong rewards program. Users will earn 2 points for every dollar spent on gas, groceries and utilities and 1 point per dollar on everything else. You'll also get free FICO® Scores, a great way to keep an ongoing eye on how your credit score is doing. There is no annual fee, and it reports to all 3 credit bureaus providing you with the opportunity to rebuild your credit.
Capital One Secured Mastercard
Have poor or limited credit? This is the card for you. Capital One Secured Mastercard is a secured credit card available to those with less-than-perfect credit. A secured credit card, or one "secured" by a deposit you put down to receive it. By making regular and on-time payments against your monthly balance you can help rebuild your credit. That's because Capital One reports to all 3 credit bureaus, letting them know about your (hopefully) responsible financial behavior. There is a $29 annual fee, but that's a pretty low price for not only getting a credit card with poor credit but also getting one that can help repair your past credit woes.

Editors' Note: Reflecting on the movies produced by Sherwood Baptist Church, Andy Crouch imagined the scenario where "one or two Christian kids with real talent somewhere in this vast land are going to see these movies, get the sacred-secular dichotomy knocked out of them at an early age, move to Los Angeles, work their tails off, dream, fail, and try again . . . and one day make truly great movies." What would these movies look like? What advice would you give to a Christian screenwriter, director, or producer who wants to make a film with artistic excellence from a Christian worldview? The Gospel Coalition posed these questions to writers, filmmakers, and artists to reflect together about Christianity and film.
See also:
- Don't Discard the Drama for Words by Brian Godawa
- Create Culture, Not Subculture by Mike Cosper
In the summer of 1999 I finally became a Christian filmmaker.
I wrote a screenplay (title: "Other Than War") about two Marines who serve together in Somalia (on a peacekeeping operation) and San Diego (on recruiting duty). I selected the cast (fellow Marines), the crew (fellow Marines), the locations (Rosarito, Mexico; San Diego), and the caterer (Pizza Hut). But the production hit a snag when, because of "cost overruns," my executive producer (MasterCard) refused to provide the funding I needed ($2,500) to buy a digital film camera (a Canon GL1).
As a result, I've been stuck for the past 13 years in what we in the business call "development limbo." Having my first film project languishing in the pre-production phase somewhat limits the practical guidance I can provide as a screenwriter/director/producer. But I'm not one to turn down the opportunity to offer unsolicited advice, so I present these six suggestions for my fellow filmmakers.
1. Don't be ashamed of the "Christian" label.
"We're a movie made by Christians," director Steve Taylor said about his new movie Blue Like Jazz, "but we don't like it tagged as a Christian movie."
Whatever artists think they are saying with such a claim, they really convey, "Yes, I'm a Christian, but I didn't allow my Christian attitudes, beliefs, experiences, or ideas to shape my work---my art is indistinguishable from what would be produced by a non-believer." Is this really what you intend?
Unfortunately, many Christians have convinced themselves that we can approach our vocations with a sense of religious neutrality. But we can't. Our work either betrays a worldview shaped by Christ or one influenced by the world (or, more likely, a syncretistic mix of the two). Whether we are plumbers, teachers, or mathematicians, our faith ultimately shapes the way we approach and carry out our work.
This is especially true for those whose vocation entails storytelling. We either consciously acknowledge the ways our faith forms our artistic vocations, or we will be willfully blind to how our sinful nature shapes our craft.
When it comes to art, common grace can only carry us so far. Without the redemptive guidance of the Christian faith, our culture-making efforts as Christians will eventually stagnate and atrophy. Our work will become indistinguishable from those who rebel against our Creator.
We Christians are not only set free from our sins but also set free to help carry out God's redemptive role in creation. In response, we should desire to use our gifts for the glory of God, rather than merely for the advancement of our own exaltation. Why then would we not want our art to be labeled as "Christian"? And why would we Christians want to produce art that cannot be distinguished from those who despise our Redeemer?
2. Don't imitate Terrence Malick.
Last year one of America's most overrated directors released one of the most overrated "Christian" films in the history of cinema: Tree of Life. I've read dozens of reviews---many by Christian film critics---and the praise for the film tends to be based on three factors: It's well-acted, it's pretty, and it isn't a cheesy Christian film like Fireproof. Admittedly, all of that is true. Tree of Life contained superb acting, lush cinematography, and is cheesy in a way completely unlike the unfairly maligned Fireproof.
Just as Fireproof was welcomed as a Christian alternative to Hollywood schlock, Tree of Life was embraced as a substitute for Christian kitsch. In many Christian intellectual and artistic circles, admitting that you don't like Malick's latest snoozefest is a sure sign that you are a philistine (and probably from somewhere like Tulsa or Omaha).
Even so, Tree of Life is deadly dull---like watching a documentary by a Buddhist who has read the Old Testament. Tree of Life fails as a work of art because it does not meet the minimum required of every competent film: tell a coherent and compelling story.
Unfortunately, critical reception of the film ensures that it will be influential among Christian filmmakers for years to come. As a result, Christian audiences will be subjected to a slew of meandering tone poems rather than treated to vibrant and enthralling narratives.
You can spare your audience such grief and pain by following a simple rule: Don't be like Malick. Don't portray God's creation as boring. Don't make a film that will only win you kudos with critics too insecure to admit they don't understand why you included the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park in a remake of The Great Santini. Make a movie for us unwashed masses. Give us a story. Give us a narrative that makes us gasp at its audacity and ask "What is man that you are mindful of him?" rather than "Seriously, what's up with the dinosaurs?"
3. Sometimes it's okay for a film to just be a movie.
Not everything needs to be work of art. Sometimes we just need entertainment. (Don't worry, we'll still call you an "artist.")
4. Don't be knostic.
Over the course of my 42 years I've watched roughly 3,000 films. In order to justify my rather indiscriminate viewing habits I became a master of eisegesis---the process of misinterpreting a text by introducing one's own presuppositions and agendas into the text.
For most of my movie-watching career few films eluded my efforts to read into the script some form of "redemptive" theme. No matter what the filmmakers' intent in making the film, I had the ability to suss out its hidden, deeply embedded, "Christian" meaning they didn't even know they had included. I was what Douglas Wilson would call a "knostic," a person who has a "tendency that attempts to resist Gnosticism while simultaneously falling into something else very much like it."
Many modern knostics have wanted to learn how to appreciate the arts of narrative. As far as that goes, nothing wrong with it, but whether writing about novels, or movies, or stageplays, they have found "redemptive" or "death and resurrection" themes in all kinds of grimy stories. In other words, an abstract thing, the structure of the story, is mysteriously able to sanctify the actual content of the story. By means of this amazing magic trick, any amount of Tarantino sludge can be made edifying.
Now . . . three cheers for structure, but content matters. Content is determinative.
Content determines whether your film is Christian (i.e., influenced by your Christian worldview) or syncretistic (influenced by a mix of worldviews). As a filmmaker you must make that choice consciously rather than relying on the structure to convey your theme. Consider, for example, the common structural trope of the "Christ-figure." Any moderately competent director could turn Satan into a Christ-figure. But that wouldn't give the movie a "redemptive" theme. Don't expect your audience to do the work of reading into your movie a redemptive theme that you were unwilling to include.
5. Don't be afraid to make distinctly Christian films.
Gene Veith explains the defining element in Christian art:
All distinctly Christian art must be, in some sense, about the agonizing struggle between sin and grace.
Mere moral lessons, while perhaps commendable, are not enough to be distinctly Christian, since Mormons, Muslims, and ethical humanists could agree with them. And mere optimistic positive messages are not enough and may even be harmful, since they can create the illusion that we can achieve righteousness by our own efforts. Works of meaning and beauty have their own value. But to be explicitly "Christian," a work needs to be, directly or indirectly, about sin and grace and what Christ has to do with them.
While not all films made by a Christian need to be explicitly Christian, our culture could use more works that are distinctly Christian. If Christians filmmaker won't make them, who will?
6. If you want to be a Christian filmmaker make a film.
From my experience I've found that after about a decade, people become skeptical about your claims to being a filmmaker if you've never actually made a film. If you want people to take you seriously as Christian filmmaker, then be a Christian and go make a film. You may fail in your efforts, you may even make a very bad film, but at least you can say you made a film. That's more than most of us failed filmmakers will ever be able to say.

Are your tax dollars being spent wisely? It's a question the News 4 Tucson Investigators want answered. But at least one of Pima County's elected leaders has refused to provide those answers.
The News 4 Tucson Investigators filed a Public Records request with Pima County, to find out how Supervisors are using district money. We then went over hundreds of pages of documents.
The News 4 Tucson Investigators found your tax dollars going to pay for everything from office supplies, to trips, even brunches at local resorts.
The documents we reviewed included invoices and receipts from 2013 for all five districts. You'll find those documents posted at the bottom of this story.
For District 3, the Chair of the Board of Supervisors, Sharon Bronson, used district funds for things like office supplies.
According to the documents the News 4 Tucson Investigators reviewed, among other expenses, District 5 Supervisor Richard Elias paid about $350.00 to pay for Facebook ads. He tells the News 4 Tucson Investigators, he believes the money was well-spent.
"Frankly, there's more people who are becoming savvy on social media, and we feel an obligation to let them know that we're out there. For $350.00, I think the return was positive for us, and for the taxpayer," Elias says.
In District 2, Supervisor Ramón Valadez used about $3,800 in district funds to pay for a trip to Washington D.C.
In a statement to the News 4 Tucson Investigators, Valadez justified the trip, saying it "was to represent interest of our community with the congressional delegation. Because it also happened to coincide with the government shutdown we had the opportunity to speak directly with our members of congress. Furthermore, they made it very clear that it was in our best interest to maintain that direct level of contact."
District 4 Supervisor Ray Carroll's office shelled out around $7,000 for four trips, including trips to Dallas, Las Vegas, and Washington D.C.. Like Supervisor Valadez, Carroll tells the News 4 Tucson Investigators, trips like the one to our nation's capitol, are important in that it allows county officials to meet with national lawmakers.
"They like to see you there. These are not vacations. These are important trips that we go to discuss national issues, as well as local issues that national issues will have an effect upon," Carroll says.
But apparently not all the Pima County Supervisors were anxious to talk with the News 4 Tucson Investigators about some of the charges they racked up with your tax dollars.
Supervisor Ally Miller, from District 1, took her staff to brunch at the Ritz-Carlton. Additionally, more than $1,100 of your tax dollars went to website company Go Daddy to create a website. This, despite the fact that the county already operates a website for Miller's office. Supervisor Miller has refused repeated requests for an on-camera interview. After sending several emails, that went unanswered, the News 4 Tucson Investigators went to Miller's downtown office, but we have received no response.
If you have something you would like the news 4 Tucson Investigators to check out, email us at email@example.com, or call the news 4 Tucson Investigators tip-line at 955-4444.

Q4 2013 Venture Performance Update
// Wiley Becker - Guest Contributor
+ Contact
Venture Index Outperforms Major Indices Over 10 Year and Greater Time Horizons
Competitive Public Markets Best Venture in the Short Term
Recent Vintage Average Net IRRs Reach 15% and Upper Quartile Threshold Tops 20%
Cambridge Associates LLC U.S. Venture Capital Index®, the Performance Benchmark of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA); Average Net IRR and Net Multiple figures are the Arithmetic Mean, hence how the Average can be greater than the Top Quartile; Net Multiple is Total Value to Paid In Capital (TVPI); Vintage year funds formed since 2010 are too young to have produced meaningful returns
The 10 year time horizon of the US Venture Capital Index ® by Cambridge Associates LLC continued its improvement in Q4 2013 to 9.69%, but was bested by the recent strong performance of the three major public indices. While shorter term performance slightly lags the public indices, longer term performance significantly exceeds the public markets. As expected, the Late Stage US Venture Capital Index outperforms the Early Stage Index in the shorter hold periods, while the Early Stage Index outperforms over the longer time horizons.
Average Net IRRs and Net Investment Multiples continued to increase on a quarterly basis for the recent 2007-2010 vintages. Save the 2008 vintage at 13%, the average Net IRRs for the 2007-2010 vintages topped 15%. Additionally, the upper quartile threshold of Net IRRs jumped to over 20% for each of these vintages. Further, as Net Investment Multiples tend to build through the latter years of a fund's life, the average for the 2007 vintage increased significantly to 1.8x, while the upper quartile threshold reached 2.0x. Considering the strong Net IRRs of the 2008-2010 vintages, a similar increase in Net Investment Multiples may occur as the companies in their portfolios continue to mature.

We create
We're a results-oriented, process driven design studio with a penchant for client services.
Working with us
Design: (n) a strategic approach to solving a defined problem
Every client has unique needs, and we LOVE to do great work for all of them. To help us succeed, we utilize a remarkably flexible, iterative design process engineered to keep things organized and efficient along the way.
We ask a lot of questions. We spend extra time up front making sure we understand your goals and our parameters for success. We listen. We ask more questions. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
Research and Strategy
We dissect the data, question the entrenched assumptions and find creative ways to look for opportunities. We love making beautiful things, and occasionally those things look like spreadsheets and marketing plans.
This work can include poring over your marketing and sales numbers, interviewing your customers, examining website analytics, developing a comparative market analysis, holding focus groups, building customer experience maps and taking trips to the field.
We take on Research and Strategy projects for clients and agencies -- often as a precursor to larger, more involved design/development scopes.
Any solution has to engage your audience and amplify your voice. To get there it takes a lot of back and forth and a constant focus on the goals of the project. Nothing is off the table when it comes to crafting effective strategic solutions. We make recommendations designed to reach your goals. The tools we use to get there are many and varied, but most often we spend our time on interactive web solutions.
When doing web work we always keep in mind...
- How will everything look and function on a variety of screen sizes and device types?
- When your clients ask Google, will you be there to answer? (Search Engine Optimization)
- How can we improve content?
- How can your web presence help your overall business?
- Are we getting at the essence of what makes your company unique?
- Is there a better way?
Looking for non-webby solutions? We do that too. We certainly don't mind spending the time to see if we'll be the right fit for each other. Contact us.

Feel the groove or just chill out with ten days of cutting-edge tunes and killer beats at the Manchester Jazz Festival.
You can't help but get into swing of things at the Manchester Jazz Festival. Each year 400 musicians flock to venues as diverse as St Ann's Church, the Royal Northern College of Music and the festival's very own Pavilion Teepee, for concerts that run inside and out, and around the clock.
The hottest ticket in town is Afternoon Tea at the Midland Hotel, where you can munch on freshly-baked scones as you listen to jazz in the city's most regal surroundings. The festival's music goes way beyond a bit of toe-tapping though; if you're lucky you might witness an important moment in jazz history as this event is all about championing new talent, innovation and deliberately breaking down boundaries.
VisitEngland would like to invite you to take part in a short survey about our website.
It should take no more than a couple of minutes.

For the sixth straight year, the Milwaukee Admirals are kicking off Veterans Day early – or should we say – facing off. The team is offering all veterans and active military personnel free tickets to tonight's game against the Chicago Wolves. The live puck drops at 7 p.m., but get there early to see WWII Air Force veteran George Michel drop the ceremonial puck with the captains of each team. During the second period, the Admirals will also honor hometown hero and decorated Army Master Sergeant Matt Curler. Curler has received four Army Commendation Medals for sustained acts of heroism or meritorious service in two combat tours in Iraq (2004 and 2009).
Naval officers, don't feel left out. The team is named after your highest set of ranks. So for fans of both heroes and hockey, this is a rare opportunity to see admirals in the stands watching the Admirals on ice. To obtain your free ticket, bring your military ID, VFW card or a copy of your DD214 papers to the BMO Harris Bradley Center box office window. Photo courtesy of Milwaukee Admirals.

I'm growing a few types of melons/watermelons this year: Hollybrook Luscious, Charentais, Eden's Gem, Schoon's Hard Shell, Chelsea, and Small Shining Light. Can any of these be grown on a trellis? I read where someone used cattle fencing to trellis their melons, I don't remember what kind of melon they were growing though. I've never trellised anything before, and my garden is not that big, so I'm trying to conserve space and fit everyhing in. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can trellis any watermelon within reason - though some will argue otherwise (use common sense). Nature made the plant able to climb and hold the weight of it's fruit. Have faith in this. There are many materials you can use but I recommend only two after years of trying everything else: cattle panel and Gardeneer Nylon Trellis Netting. 4 x 16 foot Cattle Panel runs $14 at a farm store Trellis netting runs $7 - $13 depending on size. It has held a 55 pound melon with no problem. It should last at least five years depending on whether it is protected over the winter. Longer if treated with a UV protectant. The cheapest way to put up trellis netting is with electric conduit piping from any home improvement store. You can make a frame with elbows for the corners (they screw into each other) because the conduit is threaded. Then put the frame over rebar which is pounded securely into the ground or firmly attached to the bed. Here is one with bent couduit and cattle panel: |
