I worked at Dr Pepper Snapple Group part-time (more than a year)
ProsThe pay is good for the job. You get payed full time hours even though most times you only work 25-30 hours a week. The managers are understanding and good to work with as many of them will work just as hard as you do, they get to go home early when they finish early so they will like you if your a fast worker and reward you in suit.
ConsThe work is not easy. In order to finish your stores during peak season you will have to work fast, work hard, and even work extra hours. This is only around times like Independence day, superbowl, and other peak party times. Dealing with lazy co-workers can sour you, try to team up with someone who cares about their job as much as you do and you will be fine.
Advice to ManagementAdviceAlways reward your hardest workers and dont try to be our buddies, this will only cause problems in the long run. Offer us free drinks after a long day, we know you can :)

Sharing pictures from browser without saving
When I had my thunderbolt, long pressing on a picture in a browser, or ever my Google Reader would allow me to save or share the picture (email, mms, facebook, groupme, etc...)
On the Galaxy Nexus, I am only given the option to save. And then, I would have to download the image, and then share it through the gallery. Is there a way around this? -
Re: Sharing pictures from browser without saving
I dont think you can. my only suggestion is to longpress the image "view image" longpress again, "share link"
but this only sends a link to the image that would open up in the browser and not the actual image itself.You know your rooted when bootloops don't scare you anymore. - 11-30-2012, 11:38 PM #3

Best 5 Hanukkah Recipes
by Maria Russo in Holidays, Recipes, December 20th, 2011
No menorah lighting is complete without a few snacks to mark the occasion. This year, switch up tradition and try our top five Hanukkah recipes below. Each is quick and easy to make and boasts classic holiday tastes.
5. Apple Cider Doughnuts — A pureed red apple-apple cider mixture gives these doughnuts their sweet, seasonal flavor, while a cider glaze and cinnamon-sugar topping adds extra decadence and decoration.
4. Challah Crowns — This dense but light egg bread is scented with warm honey, sprinkled with poppy seeds and baked until the crust achieves a glossy, golden hue.
3. Sephardic Chicken Soup With Sofrito and Herbed Matzo Balls — Walnut-sized matzo balls star in this comforting bowl, made with fresh bell peppers, grape tomatoes and fragrant cilantro.
2. Horseradish-Crusted Brisket With Carrots — Hearty beef brisket is generously coated with garlic, herbs and horseradish, and gently simmers in the oven in a red wine-tomato sauce until tender.
1. Slightly Adapted Mamo's Potato Pancakes — Fried until perfectly crispy, Duff's latkes (pictured above) are best served with applesauce or one of his family's favorite toppings: sour cream, cinnamon-laced applesauce, sugar or poached pears.

Kid Paddle is a Belgian, French and Canadian co-produced animated series. It aired on Teletoon, Sundays at 4:00 am, EST, but is currently on an indefinite hiatus. The show is based on the long running popular Franco-Belgian comic series of the same name, created by Michel Ledent (more commonly known as Midam).
The show covers all the passions and interests of 8 to 12-year-old boys. The main character, Kid Paddle, is your typical young boy with a passionate love for video games, comic books, Blorks (fictional aliens), and sci-fi television. His two best friends are Big Bang and Horace. Big Bang is more of a kid scientist, who is always creating new gadgets for Kid to try out. He is very intelligent for his age. Horace is more naive compared to the other two, and has a very bizarre appetite. He's always very supportive of Kid and looks up to him. As is typical for young children, Kid often fights with his sister, Carol, who finds her brother to be a degenerate air-head.
Regular features in the show cover video games, movies and DVDs, technology, and comic books. By the second season some of the story lines revolved around crushes and the differences between boys and girls. Two seasons of 26 half hour episodes (each consisting of two 11 minute episodes) have been produced thus far. It's not clear as of 2006 if a third season will be produced. The show has a huge following in its Belgian homeland, as well as in France. It entertains its target market well, but is also appealing for all ages. The show is currently trying to find a home in the United States, but plans to air the show there have since gone on hiatus.
Kid Paddle[edit]
Kid is ten years old. Ironically, he's not a child anymore, but he's not a teenager either. He lives with his dad and his sister, Carole. Kid is not his nickname, but rather his real name. He's an artist, draws well, and is particularly skillful when it comes to illustrating Blorks and Blork-like things. Kid isn't at the head of his class, nor is he flunking out. If he likes a subject he'll do well, but his passion for video games can have dire consequences (or benefits) on his marks. He prefers subjects which allow him to use his imagination like history, or math (Especially when Benjamin, the young math teacher, illustrates problems with Blorks!).
Big Bang[edit]
Big Bang is the only child of a couple of scientists who are always preoccupied with obscure research. He has everything he needs at home for his favorite past time, do-it-yourselfing. His "smarts" lend him a certain respect among his buddies, plus he doesn't carry on like a nerdy head of the class, licking boots and demanding extra assignments. No, he prefers to hover somewhere in the middle with Kid.
Horace Beckett[edit]
Kid's other best friend. Small, incredibly gullible and naïve, Horace has unlimited admiration for Kid. Of course, Big Bang and Kid adore him right back. Horace believes everything you tell him at face value, even when it's obviously unbelievable and made up. With or without Big Bang, Horace always finds himself mixed up in Kid Paddle's adventures. Another significant trait of Horace is his obsession with Rikiki, the duck (a childish cartoon's character).
The little Barbarian[edit]
Character of the favorite Game of Kid.
Mr. Paddle[edit]
Thirty-five to forty, he works in an office but we never find out exactly what he does. Nothing exciting apparently. Nor too rigorous or relaxing. He is a single father raising two children. He doesn't oppose Kid's passion for video games, even if he thinks Kid spends too much time in front of the screen. In fact, he himself often spends too much time working in front of the computer.
Carole Paddle[edit]
Serious and a good student, Carole is around the same age as Kid. She may be older than Kid or younger—maybe they're twins—but either way she considers herself the mature one and can't stand Kid's foolishness. Despite her serious nature, Carole's not a nag or a nuisance.
Grandpa aka Pappy Paddle[edit]
Good old Grandad is a real softy who lives in an old folks home. Perhaps because he's a widower without a girlfriend, he frequently visits his son and grandchildren. He is close to his grandson but doesn't quite get "it" all the time... Mr. Paddle doesn't have the heart to correct his father. Besides, Kid's dad gets a kick out of watching his own son squirm. Grandpa Paddle gets confused about most things, but he's far from senile.
Kid's biggest rival in videogames, Max often beats Kid's high scores at City Game. She is cool, calm and collected, while Kid bounces off the wall in frustration over a girl beating him in video games. Its not totally clear if Max and Kid like each other, but there are small hints throughout the series. If they do like each other, its purely on a competitive level.
Mr. Mirador[edit]
The owner of the City Game and Max's uncle. He is a man in his late 40s or early 50s. He is not married, does not have any children (or at least it is never mentioned) and treats his mutt Radar as his own child. He has a slight dislike towards Kid as he always shakes or even destroys the machine and he either kicks him out of the City Game or have Radar bite a piece of his shorts.
Four cartoons were developed for television. Then, more cartoons were developed. These are the first ones released onto DVD by Genius Entertainment and PorchLight:
1. Arachnoid Menace - Horace accidentally eats a spider under a park bench after Kid and Big Bang talked to him about how to eat bugs.
2. Lights, Camera...Cut! - Kid wants to win a contest, so he counts on Big Bang and Horace to help him.
3. Summer Camp Fugitives - Kid and his friends are sent to a not-so-fun summer camp, powered by not-so-friendly G.I. Jane! Kid is the only one who can save his pals - by challenging Jane to a thumb wrestling battle.
4. Game Not Over! - The school bully wants Big Bang and Kid to fix his broken portable video game system. Kid tries it out at City Games, making the games malfunction in the area. The game hater Mr. Mirador notices this, then takes away the game! Will Kid and Big Bang retrieve it?

Crocs Prima Ballet Slip On: Love It or Hate It?
If you've ever tried on a pair of Crocs—or just spoken to someone who has tried on a pair of Crocs—you know they're the comfiest ugly shoes since Birkenstocks, not to mention lightweight and affordable. And did I mention that they're ugly?
The other day, however, I discovered this Crocs Prima Ballet Slip On, available for $30 here. Like the original Crocs, these anti-microbial shoes conform perfectly to your foot after a few outings, but unlike their predecessors, the Prima shoes are actually pretty cute, particularly for warm-weather travel. Would you guys actually wear this version of Crocs? Love them or hate them?

Love It or Hate It

These are super cute and a massive improvement over the original UGLY crocs. What if a guy wore these in black? They aren't really 100% feminine...

Crocs rule ..cynics should move over and let the Crocs in....I used to wear 4 inch stillettos Crocs make ones feet much happier!!!!
5 years
to me, they are ideal for wearing in the garden, washable when they get dirty and you can just slip on to go out (as i take shoes off inside the house).
but i wont wear them in town tho. perhaps more acceptable at the beachs.
7 years
Say what you will but these SAVED me at the end of my pregnancy. My feet swelled so much I couldn't wear my normal shoes or boots and it was COLD out.
7 years
Hate regular crocs, admit that I own THESE. I don't wear them out anywhere dressy, but for hanging out in the house or super casual errands...these things are super comfy, and don't make you feel like you're wearing gardening clogs.
7 years
Crocs are the ugliest shoes on the planet, I have to agree. Having said that I love mine. Especially after a long day at the office and my feet are tired and I have to run the kids to soccer, stop by the grocery store and a billion other things. So, if you don't like them that's fine, but anyone says a word to me about mine and we are throwing down. :-) I admit they are ugly, but so am I when my feet get to a certain point of pain.
7 years
I don't usually like crocs, but these shoes look really nice. I love them. I think he material is really bad though. I mean plastic makes me sweat and it's not that confortable and it seems like you are wearing pool shoes. But they are so stylish and they really look gorgeous! And I love that they come in different colors. I would go with the gold or the silver one. They are kind of neutral colors and they are still great for summer.
8 years
Better than the originals - they burned my eyes.
But I find myself warming up to these.
I'd only wear the black though.
I thought I'd be anti-crocs forever.
I still am for the originals.
I swear if I see one more pair of those ugly ass shoes................

No, do you ever recall the biker guy who had a wife and kid? He died outside a mission and is still in the memory bank. That just disproved your "only people that died in missions get transferred to memory bank".
You wasted time explaining as MGB just stated in his post. Next time you make a theory, should think very long and hard about it. Be sure to gather a lot of supporting facts while you're at it.and read my first post, as i explain why aliens and people who die outside missions are not transported.

I saw this picture posted by a friend on Facebook today and thought that it was a really awesome picture so, I shared it on Twitter and now sharing it on my blog as well. The picture? This one.
I have the biggest problem with the word FEAR and I am sure I am not the only one. Some others who have different backgrounds, beginnings, lifestyle, train of thought might not have faced the same thing but if you do, then you can most definitely identify with this....fear of paying the bills.
No, wait, fear of bills. No wait, fear of the mailbox.
When I was young and fearless, I chalked up the biggest trouble with the banks. Seriously made the biggest blunder of my life that trailed me all the way into adulthood and motherhood. I grew to hate those stupid envelopes that demanded money, money, money. At the time, I wasn't financially stable. I mean, look, I was a mother who did not have a 'job' and working from home. Back in those days, it is like telling someone that you have a unicorn as a pet. They look at you with this bewildered look on their faces. Like, you what?!?!
It was a huge fear. Through time, after listening to many talks, reading many books and talking to many people, I realized one thing...the fear was irrational. It was big because I made it big. It wasn't as insurmountable as I thought it was. If only I took the time to break things down, face the damn mail thing, talked to some people, made arrangements, it wouldn't be insurmountable AT ALL.
If we took the time to take a deep breath and work through the whole thing step by step, we will never let fear take over and paralyze us. But you know what, that was what happened. It paralyzed me. It stopped me in my tracks and made me hide in a shell because I didn't think I was big enough to handle the situation. everything was overwhelming, no one is helping me. I had no support from anyone and I was alone in this whole shit.
But you see where that train of thought is heading? No. If ever you think that you are alone in this world and no one is going to help you, then it is pride talking. Or your fear laughing in your face.
Try not to descend into that mode, and if you ever find and catch yourself traveling down that path, stop and tell yourself you are strong enough to face it. You have it in you to break things down into manageable bites.
Even if it is just mail.

I am just demonstrating what can be done with simple actionscript and Swift 3D.
I got a litle sidetracked, I was meant to be working on a spiderman animation, but I somehow managed to make this =)
INTRUCTIONS: Click on one of the buttons to view the motorbike in that format.
**NOTE if you want to view the "gradient" bike at a smoother rate i suggest you click on the "gradient" button as when it loads all of them are playing in the background**
***NOTE no preloaders would work as it is all in one frame, so I suggest you wait until it has finished loading***
Remember, Keep it real.
ok i guess
now youve made a motorbike with 3d make it into a pimp my ride or summet
now make a game.
good thing, but make a game with this graphics.
ok i guess
It Was quitee ok i guess but i think not for the interactive type Personally i did not enjoy but many will i am quite sure of it ,, nice 3d graphic though :)
this was good but practically pointless.
for this being more user-friendly add a play/stop actions on the bike (since this is one frame just do it in the movie clip) and a quality toggler.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Helping kids focus of school board trustee hopefuls
All-candidates meeting attracts sparse crowd
Kids need more than anything to belong and be safe if they're to succeed in school -- after a career in inner-city schools, Myra Laramee knows that all too well.
"Belonging is missing for a lot of young people," Laramee told an all-candidates meeting Thursday night for Winnipeg School Division's Ward 2 held in Wolseley.
Ward 2 of Winnipeg School Division is the central part of WSD, including Wolseley, the West End, Downtown, Point Douglas and the North End.
There are seven candidates for three trustee positions.
Incumbents are Kristine Barr and Anthony Ramos.
Newcomers are Rolf Salfert, Myra Laramee, Cathy Collins, Kenny Moran and Bradley McKay.
Incumbent Cindy Gilroy-Price is running for a city council seat.
There are 50 school board trustee seats in play in Winnipeg in 20 wards in all or parts of seven school divisions. Seven seats in three wards have been filled by acclamation, and the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine has already held its election, which includes four seats in the DSFM urban ward.
There are gangs even in Wolseley, Laramee warned.
A child's mind, body and spirit are affected by what that child sees and hears, said Laramee, a retired nationally honoured aboriginal educator.
"We need more people who can put racism on the table," and deal with what holds children back, she said. "There are too many young people going back to school as adults," who should get their education the first time around, Laramee said.
The meeting Thursday evening appears to be the only all-candidate session scheduled anywhere in the city prior to Wednesday's municipal election.
Only 23 people old enough to vote were in the audience, including organizers from the Wolseley Residents Association and a handful of campaign workers.
Candidates were unfailingly civil, not one breath expended on attacking anyone else, candidates picking up each other's ideas on helping kids and running with them.
Incumbent Kristine Barr repeatedly cited the need to continue improving graduation rates. "What's been missing is strong engagement with community partners" to work with students, she said.
Fellow incumbent Anthony Ramos said role models are crucial -- his role model was Kevin Chief, who works with inner-city children for the University of Winnipeg and is a federal NDP candidate.
Cathy Collins, a rookie candidate who's spent three decades working in the arts community, urged that children need their creativity nurtured and stimulated. Collins adamantly opposes a tax freze, which she said would force service cuts. If a school tax increase bothers you, said Collins, measure the dollars in trips to Starbucks over a year and compare that to what the money achieves in school.
Just-retired teacher Rolf Salfert called for across-the-grades Canadian heritage courses and more teachers to reduce class sizes. The division needs a new high school in the northwest to ease overcrowding at Sisler High School, he said.
Candidate Bradley McKay, who works in security, called for parents and grandparents to volunteer in schools, and said Manitoba should rank its schools in order of some form of student achievement.
Seventh candidate Kenny Moran was working Thursday night.

Dear ICN Reader
Welcome to the combined bumper edition of ICN for December 2014 / January 2015! This edition of the ICN celebrates the visit of a Royal Duchess to Ickenham for the formal opening of Glebe School's new building. In amongst all the pomp and ceremony was a former pupil who was also recognised for their achievements as an adult by having the new library named after them. Find out who inside! There is a large focus this month on remembering and giving thanks; the two Churches' held differently arranged and well attended services for Armistice Day, the URC having a display of some exceptional memorabilia from both World Wars and a live hook up with the Cenataph in London for the 2 minutes' silence, and St Giles' having a gathering around the flagpole in the graveyard. There are also obituary tributes to two leading lights in the local Church communities; and Alan Noad, our regular reporter gives thanks and a personal explanation of why his recent operation went so well. As usual at this time of year, we highlight the money that is available to deserving Ickenham residents from our best known benefactor, Charlotte Gell, in the form of small heating grants - and we give details of how to apply for one of these grants - in total confidence of course. Elsewhere we give details of a surprisingly youthful 75 year old - still going strong, especially at this time of year! And we look forward to all the special services and seasonal events, including the Festive Community Night and opportunities for Carol Singing, which are planned around the village during Advent. Read about these stories, and more in this issue of ICN by clicking on 'This Month's Newsletter' at the top of the page.
Articles for the February 2015 of ICN, should be sent to email@example.com by noon of 10th January please. All articles are subject to editorial review and are welcome from anyone. However, they should have an Ickenham focus for inclusion.
Advertising enquiries should be directed to Edwin Lee at firstname.lastname@example.com or on 07913 430989
and details of any events and meetings should go to Patricia Lee, our Events Coordinator at email@example.com, also on 07913 430989.

text: I was so excited to go shopping for my new place. I purchased a bedroom suite and sectional. I was told I would have to pay 100.00 for them to put my bed together. I was able to get the manager Angela to take this off our first bill, or so I thought. It hasn't been taken off she doesn't work there anymore, the sales person that I bought from says he doesn't remember this agreement. So I phone the new manager and tell him my situation, he said he would get back to me, that he couldn't just give away 100.00. After what I spent on the furniture, really!!!!!!,, well you have lost me as a customer, your service is very unprofessional.

Kapiti Observer
Not even retirement - traditionally dedicated to bowls, golf or vegetating on the sofa - is sacred as digital upskilling gathers pace in Kapiti.
Kapiti's Erik Thorsing left the business world several years ago with an eye on fulltime retirement, instead endeding up a fulltime webmaster and technology blogger for SeniorNet.
He and fellow members spoke to the Kapiti Observer in the build-up to open days run by the community group that demystifies technology for over-50s.
Mr Thorsing said it was after he complained that the group's website was neglected and ''left to die'' that he was asked to bring it back to life. After 18 months the site is humming - Mr Thorsing adding onsite blogging to his list of jobs.
''Ideally of course we'd like people to write for our blog on the website, but there is a reluctance of people in our age group to do this so basically I'm the one who writes all the blogs ... although not on a daily basis. It takes up a lot of time.''
Mr Thorsing joined Kapiti SeniorNet about three years ago and is part of a group of dedicated volunteers that includes tutors Ian McLuckie and Peter Thomson.
After decades in Wellington with his family fabric business, Mr Thomson retired in the mid 90s - taking up a role as student then, rapidly, as tutor with the group. The digital age was still in its infancy and the courses were based on manuals, with learning developed chapter by chapter.
''You looked at the course the night before and taught it the next day ... in other words you studied, and imparted your knowledge straight afterwards.''
The chapter-by-chapter approach has changed over the years - tailored to become more friendly to the target demographic.
Mr McLuckie, a retired Massey University senior lecturer in computer-aided engineering design, said the approach broke learning down into bite-sized chunks.
''Our target always was that they left at the end of every session confident they could go home and do something they couldn't when they came.''
Confidence is key, Mr McLuckie said, with his stripped-back workshops including monthly iPad gatherings.
The tablets are the latest development in personal computing: part of a hardware proliferation that plenty of people below 50 struggle to keep up with.
However Mr McLuckie said having older people working with older people on the subject is probably still the most effective way to help them learn.
''I think you need the patience. And that tends to come with age.''Kapiti SeniorNet open days, today 9.30am to 2pm, and Saturday 10am to 2pm, at 200 Matai Rd, Raumati Beach.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
So here's why you may want to buy some....
1) Looking back in Slick_guns you will see very few deals under $160 for a 880 pack. The very lowest I saw was one deal at $135 which translates to an 18% premium. Many of the posted deals were $145-160. In today's market I consider an 18% uplift as fair....considering.... 2) I am now convinced that the tyrants in the White House are going to bypass Congress since they know the Repubs will block in the house. I'm wagering that this Chicago crew will do an executive order. One of the rumors is that they will target "non traditional hunting calibers" rifles and ammo and if so communist block ammo like this will be on the list. 3) If I'm totally wrong I probably have a maximum loss of 20-40$....BFD. If I'm right I saved myself many 100's of dollars (and probably much more). |
Here's a 880 box from Sportsmans Guide for $170. You can find free shipping codes online.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.37 / 5.00 4,241 ViewsEDIT 2: Woo. 100K views and on the frontpage. What more could a girl ask for. Mentor also got himself an NG account so I added him in the authors list. He's "Zente".
EDIT: Forgot to do this. Thanks to Fusion Warrior for the title idea. And the red head is Malon to those who're wondering.
This is just a joke, so hopefully no one will take offense.
This is based on an OLD concept. Very old. Well, maybe just about 6-8 months old. I was too embarassed to throw my idea out to anyone. But then I told Mentor about it. He enjoyed it and agreed to voice Link for me. Which was good cuz everyone hated my Link. XD I still get a chance to voice him in the movie. Anyway, this took me 2 months to do, with alot of... patience? And... drugs. Lotsa drugs.
No I'm kidding. I wasn't high while doing this. Mentor wasn't either. At least he's pretty sure he wasn't.
Just watch the shit, okay?

TV Ratings: MTV's 'Awkward' Returns Steady, 'Deadliest Catch' Jumps in Season 9
The cable network's longest-running scripted comedy opens on Tuesday night to an audience of just over 2.1 million viewers, while Discovery's reality hit jumps 28 percent from last year.
Awkward eased into its new Tuesday time slot last night on par with its 2012 opener.
The MTV comedy, created by Lauren Iungerich and starring Jenna Hamilton, kicked off its third with 2.14 million viewers over back-to-back episodes at 10 p.m. That's down a touch from last June's 2.2 million premiere but on par with the August finale.
It also marks an improvement in the cable network's targeted younger demo of those ages 12-34. The episode averaged a 2.3 rating in the key demo, up five percent for the series' highest premiere showing to date.
Awkward also topped all broadcasts across television for the day among teenagers, averaging 4.0 and 3.9 ratings during the respective broadcasts.
Elsewhere in cable, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, Discovery's venerable Deadliest Catch returned for its ninth season up a whopping 28 percent from last year's premiere. The 9 p.m. broadcast averaged 3.47 million viewers and an extremely competitive 1.8 rating with adults 18-49.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This card is beautiful. We opted for a special trim and I am so happy with the results. The colors are very close to the wedding colors also (pink and grey). The paper is of very high quality and I liked how the name of the bride stands out."
"This card is perfect for a spring party of any kind. The card stock has a nice textured feel that you cannot appreciate from the proofs, making the delivered product even nicer than expected."
"This website is so easy to use; the products are easy to personalize, and everything I've done and received has been impeccably produced and lovely! I never hesitate to order from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"This card came out great. I did have to play with the formatting which made me nervous. But the free design check made me feel better. The product came within a week and looked fantastic. It was on a high quality paper and wasn't too expensive either. I would recommend this"
"I had a great experience working with Wedding Paper Divas. My invitations arrived a few days earlier than anticipated and I'm so excited to send them out to my guests. I would absolutely use Wedding Paper Divas again in the future. Thank you!! :)"

Structures vary for CCOs |
| Print | |
Articles - September 2012 |
Monday, August 27, 2012 |
Page 2 of 2 Robin Henderson, acting executive director of the Central Oregon Health Council, the governing board of Central Oregon's CCO, thinks it's impractical for CCOs to be for-profits. "I would be hard-pressed to see how any organization would make a profit off Medicaid," she says.
Henderson says there was never any question that Central Oregon's CCO would be a nonprofit, in part because the nonprofit structure reinforces the CCO's mission-driven nature. "Our mission is serving a population that has a tough time," not focusing on how to make a profit and "give bonus checks" to executives, Henderson says. Being a nonprofit allows the Central Oregon Health Council to do things such as cap administrative costs at 8%, and direct any savings back toward services and programs helping Oregon Health Plan patients. In some ways, the four nonprofit CCOs could weather growing pains better than others. They will be tax-exempt and are accustomed to the transparent reporting now required by the Oregon Health Authority. Also, nonprofit laws dictate that the organization be controlled by a board of directors, similar to the governing board each CCO must have. That board must have representation from each organization participating in the CCO, including county government, local hospitals, independent practice associations, mental health and substance abuse treatment providers. The structure ensures that each health organization in the CCO has an equal voice, participation and influence in the CCO's development — which will be crucial if CCOs function as intended. At the end of the day, advocates and CCO leaders alike think it doesn't matter what business structure a CCO has as long as they're able to get the job done. "The main issue — however these CCOs organize — is whether they are going to be mission driven, and whether they are going to fulfill the vision of person-centered care," says John Mullin, Oregon Law Center lobbyist, who has followed the development of CCOs. |

...that is missing just a front or just a rear tire, does it make you go...'Hmmmmm' ?
Maybe I am too suspicious but I usually get a mental picture of a bike rack somewhere with just a tire locked to it.
...that is missing just a front or just a rear tire, does it make you go...'Hmmmmm' ?
Maybe I am too suspicious but I usually get a mental picture of a bike rack somewhere with just a tire locked to it.
If there is even the slightest change that it is a stolen bike, I pass.
That is my course of action too.
it could be the poor dude got the wheel stolen ...
That is possible too. I just brought this up because I saw 2 bikes on Craigslist today that I was semi interested in (a $50 Specialized and a $50 Fuji) and both were missing a wheel. I don;t see it terribly often but I do see it.
Last edited by Stujoe; 08-09-08 at 07:08 PM.
I came out of the library one day and my rear wheel had been stolen. It works both ways!
Went to the grocery store and made sure I secured my new bike. Came out and my saddle, pump and ditty bag were all gone.
OTOH...I recently sold a bike where I tacoed the front wheel. Didn't bother to replace it, just sold it. It happens.
If it's missing a tire, then perhaps the tire blew, and they didn't want to buy a new tire, although I would probably just pick up a cheap tire and put that on..... If it's missing more, like the whole wheel, then it should raise questions.
Tell the seller you would like to record the serial number, and run a police check, if they get antsy, then it's probably stolen. If they are calm about it, then record the serial number, and ask the seller for identification like a drivers licence, record that number as well, Call the local police non-emergency number, and tell them that you are thinking of purchasing a used bicycle, and are suspicious and would like to know if it's been reported stolen. They can check their reports and see if that bicycle has been reported, if it has, give them the sellers drivers licence number you recorded.
One of the key issues though, people need to record the serial number on their bicycles, the year, colour, make and model. You should also register your bicycle with the local police department, as they will check found and turned in bicycles with the registry, and you will stand a better chance of getting your bicycle back, or at least part of it. If your bicycle is stolen, even if it's your beater bike, then report it stolen to the police.
A local bicycle dealer who dealt in stolen goods, had in their possession 3000 bicycles, less then 1% of those were registered, a viewing managed to get some 250 more united with their owners, the remainder will be auctioned off by the police department, once the time period has expired. Does mean that there may be some good deals on used bicycles in the near future......
The downer of that, Wog, is whether the police dept. bothers to check the register or maintain it. We used to have one in this city and I think it fell by the wayside because registering your bike in no way meant it would get linked to you in the future.
The Earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound.
Children no longer mind their parents, every man wants to write a book,
and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching.
--Assyrian Stone Tablet, c.2800 BCE
+1 Works both ways.
Years ago I had a wheel stolen, and I took what remained of the bike and traded it in at the local LBS.
If the seller has a reasonable story, and you go to his home and believe it is an honest deal, I would go for it. Certainly a bike missing a wheel will have a huge discount, and many of us have a wheel or two, or more sitting around.
Kind of the old peanut butter cup analogy. I take your bike missing wheels and mix it with my spare set of wheels, and I then have a good sellable bike.
It actually goes both ways, suppose the police department sets up a registry, and it will accommodate the 50,000 bicycles in town nicely, but they only get 5 registrations? They give up. What needs to happen and probably does, some places is to get bicycle dealers involved, so when you buy a bicycle, the dealer has the forms, you fill out the form, put a stamp on it and toss it into the mail box. Of course the other issue is that maybe it would be better if registration was handled at the state/provincial level. Considering that the province (state) already has a pretty good vehicle registration system in place. Bicycle registrations would not necessarily need annual renewal, and a small registration fee could be implemented.

New Definition - § 24.2(a)(14) Household Income means total gross income received for a 12-month period from all sources (earned and unearned).
Another new definition is for the term "household income," which is the foundation for establishing base monthly rent used in rent supplement calculations. The key is to ensure appropriate recognitions of elements of income the household may receive. The 12-month period usually is the 12 months immediately preceding the initiation of negotiations.

NXTD is 71% owned by the CEO and CTO.
So now you have to buy another device, pay a subscription and carry it around with you in addition to a phone, but it does not text, talk, photo, video, flash light. Yes very exciting. Oh wait, no, hard to figure why that is better than a phone.
Instead of growth rates accelerating they will be rolling over now that there is no major Sim deployment. How does the Iusacell large-scale delpoyment affect those waiting to see it succeed before pulling the trigger? What if there is an issue with ETAK that is causing the change of plan from Iusacell?
These will be important points of uncertainty to deal with directly at the CC so some concerns can be lifted.
the Sidoti were not impressed!
Something is clearly wrong with the stock. You have to agree, that the lack of update in front of these investor presentations suggests that there is still nothing to say about Iusacell. And that is a very negative harbinger for Q's 4 and 1. The stock trades at 79 cents at the least because of the botched job the CEO has done in setting expectations and at most because some investors know of a serious problem within this company.
Neither situation is a good reflection on the leadership of this company.
I agree with you. SVV's delinguency should not result in slack on the leash, but rather just the opposite. Shareholders should expect prompt response. Early in the new year is still 6 months late?
SVV's holiday message promised early January update. I expect it this week. Should be a moving experience.
If the potential is real, this company will be bought. They have no inherent justification to remain independent. Very small breadth of product, no scale and no proven ability to grow. They may or may not have a critical element of technology that can be massively deployed. If they do, there are much better suited companies to do the mass deployment. Ones that have already demonstrated an ability to do so in other segments.
IWSY does not have the luxury of time, given the finiancial thin ice they are on. This industry is going to start moving quickly. If the revenues are not ramping up, you will have your answer pretty quickly.
Will the industry build a solution around a company thast is barely solvent or around a strong standard. I think it is unrealistic to assume critical solutions are being built upon IWSY's meager existence. Best they can hope for is to be bought for their patents or they fill infringement suits against the solutions that do get traction.
Was the stock halted or just comatose?
IWSY is already way over valued relative to anything fundamental. There is no signs of a significant boost to their business. Meanwhile Intel is innovating. That means big trouble for little fry who was unable to get their footprint established before the entry of the big fish. The only thing you can hope for is that IWSY has a key patent. Then they may have a negotiating position to benefit from the industry growth. Aware is in the same position. THey are much better situated from a cash and cash flow position but show very little signs of knowing how or even desiring to grow their operating business.
If Intel isn't buying your company because they perceive it is of value to them, you can assume they do not need you. A few biometric lightweights in this category. IWSY, AWRE BIO-Key ... if they have any unique value expect Intel to pounce, otherwise, forever not going anywhere. THese litttle tech companies just don't have the scale or know-how to make real money.
Like Aware's Leadership and Board, they are weak and afraid.
Without meaningful new contracts, there is no need to attend a conference. Lacking the basics, Time to move on.
See ya.
Appears you do not like to hear about the information due diligence yields for Aware Inc.
This company costs its shareholders dearly. Their lack of ability or willingness to provide a clear strategy around their growth plan and core value proposition causes the market to place little or no value on the company beyond its cash holdings.
If this was a fleeting condition, it would not be such a big issue. However, this condition has been in place for many years and covers many aspects of Aware's business including IP monetization, and Biometrics. Not only does Aware not provide relevant information about its business. They have been known to provide inaccurate information. The company apparently mis-led when they appointed the current Co-Interim-CEO's almost 4 years ago. They lied about the existence of off-balance sheet entities for at least 3 SEC reporting periods. They have withheld any information about new contracts in biometrics such that the only folks who have any clue about what to expect are insiders.
There is suspicious trading in the stock that gives appearances of improprieties, especially in light of the apparently unnecessary tight-lipped policy on business plan discussion with shareholders.
Sounds like a threat! You may want to think better of it.
How can anyone take what Ed says seriously, as long as this condition prevails? Aware has had zero material new contracts occur over the last 12+ months! How can that be, in this growth industry?
You are a JackAsss, If you think anyone on this board puts a french lick of credence into anything you say.
Oh, you mean the patent arrangement that was, and then was not , and then was again! They spend more time double talking then they do trying to say something tangible and meaningful. As a consequence, the market places nearly zero value on Aware's future money making potential. Shareholders pay dearly in present market value because of the incompetence of Stafford, Russell and Moberg.
USPTO and Aware agree to return the RE40281 to the USPTO for re-evaluation of validity. The Appeal Case 15-1002 is now closed.
Yes and soon.
Glad to be out before that happens!

A Brief History of Time is far more than a science book. It's one of the renaissance books that is so seminal to the notion of who we are, and where we might be in the next 50 years, that it should be required reading for every person from high school on...It's light and easy and fun, full of subtle humour and provocative notions.
