"Everyone loved my announcements! I wanted something creative and unique to me without spending a fortune. It was so easy to use the template and they turned out better than I expected. I will definitely use tiny prints again!"
"I ordered two different designs for my graduation invitations and this was my favorite one. It was simple, yet chic and stylish and it met all of my needs. The picture quality was great, they printed beautifully on the paper and the paper itself was great. I was more than pleased with my invitations!"
"I was extremely happy with the announcement I made with this design. I used the black format which worked well as each picture used had a distinct element of black in it. It was easy to customize and play around with various fonts until I found the one I liked best. I didn't pay any extra for the paper used and it was like a heavy card stock--very nice! We have received nothing but compliments on the announcement, and I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."
"Tiny Prints is great. I received my order very quickly, it was done with perfect color and much better than expected paper quality. This was my first time using them, and I will order from them again! Great quality, great service!"

Section 968(4) on November 30, 1982 by Local 797, International Association of Fire- fighters ("Union"). The hearing examiner determined in the report that the dispatchers, who alert and direct Auburn firefighting vehicles and personnel to the scene of emer- gencies from a work site at the Lewiston Central Fire Station, lack a clear and iden- tifiable community of interest with the uniformed firefighters employed by the City of Auburn and, therefore, should not be included in the same bargaining unit with said firefighters. The Union, on appeal, does not challenge the hearing examiner's conclusion concerning the dispatchers' lack of community of interest with the uni- formed firefighters; however, the Union avers that the hearing examiner erred in finding that the Lewiston-Auburn 9-1-1 Committee is the dispatchers' employer. A hearing on this matter was held on October 5, 1983, Chairman Edward H. Keith presiding, with Employer Representative Thacher E. Turner and Employee Representa- tive Harold S. Noddin. The Appellant Union was represented by Peter M. Garcia, Esq., and the Lewiston-Auburn 9-1-1 Committee ("Committee") was represented by G. Curtis Webber, Esq. The parties were given full opportunity to examine and cross-examine witnesses, introduce evidence, and make argument, within the strictures applicable to this appellate proceeding. Both parties filed post-hearing briefs, which have been considered by the Maine Labor Relations Board. JURISDICTION Local 797, International Association of Firefighters, the original petitioner in the unit clarification proceeding and the Appellant herein is a "party aggrieved", [-1-] ____________________________________________________________________________________ within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. Section 968(4). The jurisdiction of the Maine Labor Relations Board ("Board") to hear this appeal and render a decision and order herein lies in 26 M.R.S.A. Section 968(4). FINDINGS OF FACT Upon review of the entire record, the Board adopts, as modified below, the following findings of fact made by the hearing examiner: 1. Prior to the summer of 1979, the dispatchers for the Auburn Fire Depart- ment were uniformed firefighters who worked at the Central Fire Station in Auburn. These dispatchers were members of the Auburn firefighters bargaining unit repre- sented by Local 797. 2. In April, 1978, the Cities of Lewiston and Auburn entered into an agree- ment which created an administrative agency of both cities called the "Lewiston- Auburn 9-1-1 Committee." The purpose of the Committee is to establish, operate, and maintain a 9-1-1 emergency reporting communications system for the Lewiston- Auburn area. The Committee is administered by a board of seven members, including the Police and Fire Chiefs of both Lewiston and Auburn. The Committee makes an annual report to and submits its budget to both Cities, each of which pays 50% of the Committee's expenses. 3. In June, 1979 the City of Auburn hired four civilian dispatchers to work at the 9-1-1 center which is in the Lewiston Central Fire Station. The City of Lewiston assigned four of its firefighters to be 9-1-1 dispatchers, and these four dispatchers have remained in the Lewiston firefighters bargaining unit. In addi- tion, four medical dispatchers were hired to work in the 9-1-1 center, and these dispatchers apparently are not in any bargaining unit. A 9-1-1 supervisor also was hired to supervise the operation of the 9-1-1 center. 4. Unlike all Auburn firefighters, the new Auburn dispatchers were not hired through the Auburn civil service system, and they were not required to take the written and physical tests which applicants for Auburn firefighter positions have to pass. The new Auburn dispatchers were trained by the Auburn firefighter dis- patchers at the Auburn Fire Station for several months, after which time the new dispatchers moved to the 9-1-1 center at the Lewiston Fire Station while the fire- fighter dispatchers apparently returned to their firefighting positions. -2- ____________________________________________________________________________________ 5. All twelve dispatchers take and route calls for the Fire Departments, Police Departments and ambulance services in Lewiston and Auburn. One Auburn dispatcher, one Lewiston dispatcher and one medical dispatcher usually are on duty at any given time at the 9-1-1 center. The Auburn dispatcher will pass calls from Lewiston on to the Lewiston dispatcher if he/she is available and will pass all medical calls on to the medical dispatcher if he is available. In the event that the appropriate dispatcher is unavailable, then the Auburn dispatcher will handle the call himself. All Auburn calls similarly are passed on to the Auburn dispatcher on duty if he/she is available. The Auburn dispatchers route all police calls to the dispatchers at the Auburn Police Department, who then handle the call. As for fire calls, however, the Auburn dispatchers actually dispatch the firefighters and the equipment necessary to handle the situation. This of course requires that the dispatchers be extremely familiar with Fire Department standard operating procedure, with the capabilities of the various pieces of Fire Department equipment and apparatus, and with the streets and the buildings in Auburn. The dispatchers' role of dispatching fire calls makes them an important part of the firefighting team in Auburn. The Auburn dispatchers also dispatch Lewiston fire calls when the Lewiston dispatcher is unavailable, which of course requires that they be familiar with Lewiston fire equipment as well as the geo- graphy of Lewiston. The Auburn dispatchers also dispatch medical calls when the medical dispatcher is not available. 6. The Auburn dispatchers are paid by the City of Auburn, and they pick their paychecks up at the Auburn Fire Station. The Auburn dispatchers are under the supervision of and are disciplined by both the 9-1-1 supervisor and the Auburn Fire Chief. The Auburn dispatchers are paid approximately $229.00 a week, while a private in the Auburn Fire Department with comparable seniority currently makes about $253.00 per week. Both the Auburn dispatchers and the firefighters average a 42-hour workweek, although the firefighters work shifts during four consecutive days and nights followed by four days off, while the dispatchers, due to the high stress associated with their job, work only two consecutive days or nights before having two days off. 7. In April, 1980, Local 797 and the City of Auburn entered into a collective bargaining agreement with a term of April 1, 1980 to March 31, 1982. The recogni- tion clause of this agreement expressly excludes the 9-1-1 civilian dispatchers from the firefighters' bargaining unit. However, in a "sideletter" attached to the -3- ____________________________________________________________________________________ agreement the parties provided that the contract could be reopened "for the pur- pose of including Dispatchers in the current contract" subject to the condition, among others, that the dispatchers "must be included in the bargaining unit as certified by the Maine Labor Relations Board." Local 797 agreed to the recogni- tion clause because it was not certain at the time as to what the 9-1-1 dispatchers working conditions were going to be. The City was opposed to including the dis- patchers in the bargaining unit. A successor agreement was executed by the parties in April, 1982, and the recognition clause of this agreement likewise expressly excludes the civilian dispatchers from the bargaining unit. Although a "side- letter" also is attached to this agreement, it makes no reference to the possibility of including the dispatchers in the unit. 8. The Auburn Dispatchers are public employees, within the meaning of 26 M.R.S.A. Section 962(6), and are employed by the City of Auburn. DECISION The Only issue raised by the Union in this appeal concerns the identity of the Auburn dispatchers' employer. Although not making a specific finding of fact relevant to this issue, the hearing examiner, at page 6 of his decision, stated: "Second, the two groups have different employers - the dispatchers are employed by the Committee while the firefighters are employed by Auburn." The Union has alleged that this conclusion is incorrect, is not supported by sub- stantial evidence, and should, therefore, be reversed. The standard of review applied by this Board to evaluate the correctness of the hearing examiner's actions is as follows: "We will overturn a hearing examiner's rulings and determina- tions if they are 'unlawful, unreasonable, or lacking in any rational factual basis.'" City of Bath and Council 74, AFSCME, MLRB No. 81-A-01, at 6 (Dec. 15, 1980). See also, Town of Yarmouth and Teamsters Local Union No. 48, MLRB No. 80-A-04, at 5 (June 16, 1980). We have applied the foregoing standard of review in this proceeding and, as, a result, we must overrule the hearing examiner's conclusion that the Lewiston- -4- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Auburn 9-1-1 Committee is the dispatchers' employer. The only evidence which tends to substantiate the hearing examiner's conclusion is that the Auburn dis- patchers are 'supervised, on a day-to-day basis, by the 9-1-1 supervisor. We hold that said fact is insufficient to warrant the hearing examiner's conclusion. Our holding is required by the overwhelming weight of the relevant evidence con- cerning the identity of the dispatchers' employer and received by the hearing examiner below. The dispatchers were hired and trained by the City of Auburn and they are paid by the City. The dispatchers collect their pay checks at the Auburn Fire Department. Furthermore, the Auburn Fire Chief exercises overall supervision over the dispatchers and, when the same is warranted, imposes discipline upon said employees. Finally, we note that the Lewiston dispatchers, whose relationship with the 9-1-1 Committee is identical to that of the Auburn dispatchers, are members of the same bargaining unit as the Lewiston firefighters, negotiate with the City of Lewiston over the mandatory subjects of bargaining, and are employees of the City of Lewiston. The evidence contained in the record militates us not only to reverse the hearing examiner's conclusion concerning the employer's identity but also to hold that the City of Auburn is the Auburn dispatchers' employer, within the mean- ing of 26 M.R.S.A. Section 962(7). The hearing examiner's ultimate legal conclusion was that the Auburn dispatchers lack a clear and identifiable community of interest with the uniformed firefighters of the City of Auburn and, therefore, the dispatchers should not be included in the same bargaining unit as the firefighters. This legal conclusion has not been chal- lenged in the instant appeal. Other than his erroneous finding of fact discussed above, the hearing examiner's ultimate conclusion reflects a proper understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts in light of the controlling community of in- terest criteria. AFSCME, Pine Tree Council No. 74 and City of Brewer, MLRB No. 79-A-01, at 3-4 (Oct. 12, 1979); M.S.A.D. No. 16 Library Employees Ass'n. and M.S.A.D. No. 16 Board of Directors, MLRB No. 82-A-03, at 4 (Aug. 12, 1982). Al- though we have reversed the hearing examiner's factual conclusion concerning the identity of the dispatchers' employer, our holding does not disturb the validity of the hearing examiner's ultimate legal conclusion and we expressly affirm the same. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing findings of fact and decision and by virtue of and pursuant to the powers granted to the Maine Labor Relations Board by 26 M.R.S.A. -5- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Section 968(4), it is ORDERED: 1. The hearing examiner's finding of fact that the Auburn dispatchers are employed by the Lewiston-Auburn 9-1-1 Committee, contained in the Unit Clarification Report of November 12, 1982, be and hereby is reversed. 2. That the balance of the Unit Clarification Appeal, filed by Local 797, International Association of Firefighters, on November 30, 1982, be and hereby is denied. 3. The hearing examiner's decision of November 12, 1982, in all re- spects other than that mentioned in paragraph 1 of this Order, be and hereby is affirmed. Dated at Augusta, Maine, this 5th day of December, 1983. MAINE LABOR RELATIONS BOARD /s/__________________________________________ Edward H. Keith, Chairman /s/__________________________________________ Thacher E. Turner, Employer Representative /s/__________________________________________ Harold S. Noddin, Employee Representative The parties are advised of their right, pursuant to Title 26 M.R.S.A. Sections 968(4) and 972, to seek review of this decision by the Superior Court by filing a complaint in accordance with Rule 80B of the Rules of Civil Procedure within 30 days of the date of this decision. -6- ____________________________________________________________________________________

The Valley exceeded federal air quality standards for particulate matter 2.5 on New Year's Day despite "No Burn Day" restrictions and a high pollution advisory. It was the third time in a week that the Valley's air quality sparked a federal violation.
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department, which issues the "No Burn Day" restrictions, reported it got about 60 calls over the weekend, some filing a complaint on burn activity and others stating their opinions about the restrictions, spokeswoman Holly Ward said.
The Valley was under restrictions New Year's Eve as well as New Year's Day.
"Our inspectors are working to respond to those complaints made on the phone and via our Web site," Ward wrote in an e-mail. "We will total those up along with fireplace patrol data to get a better idea of the true numbers."
The numbers were not available at press time.

Plaintiffs Dismiss Lawsuit Against Life Partners Business Wire WACO, Texas -- December 3, 2013 Life Partners Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq GS: LPHI) announced today that the Plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit filed against the company as well as its operating subsidiary, Life Partners, Inc. and two corporate officers. The abandonment of the lawsuit comes after the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas denied a motion for class certification in the lawsuit. Life Partners, Inc. is a life settlement provider and provides purchasing agent services for life settlement transactions. A life settlement is an alternative investment involving the purchase of an existing life insurance policy at a discount to its face value. While the plaintiffs in the case could have appealed the denial of the class action or continued to pursue the case as individuals, they elected instead to voluntarily dismiss the case against the Life Partners' defendants. A key allegation was that Life Partners' medical consultant used an unreasonable method of estimating life expectancies. However, this allegation was criticized by the Court as part of its 34 page order denying certification as a class action: "Proof only of results does not address these factors. Nor could an after-the-fact analysis of the insureds' deaths, in the aggregate, establish that LPI was unreasonable in using Dr. Cassidy when and how it did. … The Court is highly skeptical that an analysis of results alone could lead a reasonable juror to determine that Dr. Cassidy's methods were flawed." Life Partners CEO Brian Pardo commented, "This is yet another example of attorney-driven litigation which damages the entire economy, not to mention the companies that are the targets of such litigation. We are very pleased that the plaintiffs decided to walk away from this case and we hope to see other similar cases end the same way." The case is styled Sean Turnbow et al. v. Life Partners, Inc. et al., Case No. 3:11-CV-1030-M, United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.

.- As debate continues to rage in the Episcopal church over the ordination of openly gay clergy and now same sex unions, nine U.S. Episcopal bishops plan to sue the bishop of Connecticut in a church court over his support of the practice and his attempted silencing of some who are against it. Bishops from Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, Texas and South Carolina plan to sue Bishop Andrew Smith for what they call "conduct unbecoming a bishop" and for suspending one priest and threatening five others who opposed the recent ordination of Gene Robinson, the church's first openly gay bishop.
The priests asked to be transferred to another diocese, which the church says it cannot do.
Robinson was ordained bishop of New Hampshire in 2003--an act which caused the Episcopal church, which is the American branch of the Anglican church, considerable criticism.
Smith was one of those who voted for Robinson during his election and now openly supports same-sex unions--yet another issue currently tearing apart the 77 million member worldwide Anglican church.
In a letter to Smith, the nine bishops said that, "We would prefer to find some way other than this deepening battle, but we refuse to allow this recent aggression to go unchecked or unchallenged."
Likewise, a spokesman for Pittsburgh's Bishop Robert Duncan told the Reuters news agency that "We are all praying for a peaceful resolution to this."
The bishops have also pledged to raise financial and legal support for the six priests at the center of the debate.

What Now?
8:34 pm in Uncategorized by letsgetitdone
Today, John Boehner bowed to the inevitable logic of the impending political season and placed a "clean" debt ceiling increase bill on the floor of the House. At this writing, the bill passed with 28 Republican and 193 Democratic votes. Now it moves on to the Senate, where it is expected to pass in time to allow the Treasury to keep issuing debt instruments.
So, now we have had agreement on a budget partially rolling back the sequester, and the Republican leadership appears to have decided not to have another debt ceiling crisis. I wrote a post called "What Happens Now?" just after the Government shutdown ended last October. There I analyzed the political situation and made a number of predictions about the short-term future. Here's how I answered the question: "Growth and Jobs or Shutdowns and Debt Ceiling Crises?" Read the rest of this entry →

Watch: Justin Bieber Is His Own Worst Enemy in Deposition Video
Justin Bieber, once the ultimate teen-pop-star-heartthrob sensation behind songs like "Baby" and "Boyfriend" has done quick work tarnishing his public image.
Between the alleged eggings, failed sorbiety tests, assault charges, and bad behavior onboard a plane (all since the start of the year!), the Biebs is in need of a PR facelift. Unfortunately, as seen in deposition videos obtained by TMZ, the 20-year-old doesn't seem to mind being "detrimental" to his own career.
Justin Bieber's Antics Become Late-Night Fodder
During Thursday's deposition for the lawsuit, in which he allegedly encouraged his bodyguard to attack a photographer, Bieber's behavior in the video drew comparisons to Game of Thrones's much-loathed King Joffrey.
The deposition delves into a range of topics, most of which are dismissed by the pop star or his lawyers. When simply asked to watch a film, Bieber caustically responds "this is a film?" On other occasions, Bieber and his lawyers flat out refuse to answer questions about on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez, demanding that they "don't ask me about her again."
Justin Bieber Turns Himself In to Toronto Police, Charged With Assault
At one point in the video, Bieber is asked about his relationship with Usher . He replies, "Yeah, Usher, that sounds familiar" and then continues to say "I was found on YouTube, I think that I was detrimental to my own career." His lawyer then clarifies "he said 'I think I was instrumental to my own career.'"
What do you think? Is Bieber "detrimental" to his own career?

So I asked him tell me some numbers he said 499$, 2500$ due, 12k miles on the 56k model luxury! Calculate zero across the board and it should be no more than 599$ IMO! Ps if you wait till August when the new model year shows up, I bet you can find it for 499-549$ zero across the board.

This deal is shown on the dealers website as being a regional deal. Here are the details:
$1,499due at signing.
Excludes official fees, taxes and dealer charges. No security deposit required. 10,000 mile/yr/limit.
Hope this helps! -
gadawg77 Posts: 14I am in Georgia...I can tell you that I busted my a$$ to get a good deal and I think I did but the numbers are just higher here than in LA. Less competition. I ended up with $660/month on 36 month lease and $1500 down. That includes over $3000 in taxes that had to get rolled into purchase price because of new GA tax rules. 57% residual at 15K miles for 36 months. I was depressed looking at numbers here too but I think the California dealers have the best deals in the country...maybe Florida too.
sperrta Posts: 7I know it sounds like the deals are unbelevable in CA..
I have 4 months left on my car now so I am going to hold out untill next month or maybee even 2 more months... I want to get the car for $550 - $575 with just 1st month and MV down for 15K miles and want a F-sport..
Hopefully the deals do get better of the MF drops or they add loyalty of more lease cash.. One can only wish.. -
daptek Posts: 31Seeing this advertised. Any thoughts?
New 2013 GS350 Model #9300: $449 per month, 24-month lease available on approved credit through LFS – 720 Beacon required. $0 down payment plus registration, tax, tag, $700 acquisition fee due at inception. No security deposit required. MSRP: $52,593. Total of lease payments: $10,776. Net capitalized cost: $45,687. Option to purchase at lease-end: $36,815.10 .You pay $0.25 per mile over 10,000 miles per year. -
sperrta Posts: 7the 3K down is cap cost which if rolled into the lease is $111 a month before interest.. So that brings the payment to $590 with taxes and fees down..
Fees are : 900? bank fee
Doc.: $299
1st month 590
taxes are $1,115 up front so $3302 is the taxes and fees so the deal is:
$6302 due at signing $479 a month
$3302 due at signing $590 a month
$2186 due at signing $631 a month for 10K miles so that is the ADVERTISED PRICE BROKEN DOWN..
Keep in mind it is for 10K miles.. i went in a dealer today and put my credit card down and told them 600 a month with 600 TOP (just 1st month) on a 56K gs350 and 15K miles 27 months or 36 and they said no deal $2K top and 600 for 36 months is best he can do and this is not making my last 3 payments or dispo fee.. is 2K TOP (fees) 600 a month of a 56K GS350 for 15K miles a good deal or should I wait to see next months programs? -
daptek Posts: 31This happened to be a bait and switch. I asked for this deal and they said they could not honor it. Funny the Sales Manager said it was just marketing doing this kind of thing. I will never buy from them.

Not to ruin the small screen for you, but characters on TV don't actually live in the houses shown on shows. No, those exteriors shots are of homes where real people live. And actually, the homes inside can be even more magical than the sets used for filming, as we learned in the January/February issue of Elle Decor. The home where the Tanners supposedly lived on "Full House" is featured in the issue, and we'd find a way to put up with Stephanie's incessant "How rude!" exclamations if we could move in. Check out the rest of the Tanners' former San Francisco three-bedroom Victorian, then compare the current owners' decor to that of the '80s show after the jump. [Elle Decor] Keep reading »

Grants and Scholarships - Title IV Eligibility Questions and Answers
What are the eligibility requirements for students attending institutions that are TAP eligible but not Title IV eligible?
A change to New York State Education Law makes students who are receiving TAP awards for the first time in the 2010-11 academic year, and attending schools that have not been authorized as eligible for Title IV federal aid by the beginning of the 2010-11 academic year, ineligible to receive TAP at these institutions.
Students whose first year of attendance began before 2010-11 will be impacted in the following manner:
- Students who received a New York state financial aid award prior to the 2006-07 academic year at non-Title IV schools are not eligible to receive awards after the 2009-10 academic year; or
- Students who received their initial award in 2006-07 through 2009-10 are eligible to receive awards through the 2014-15 academic year at non-Title IV schools. Schools currently approved for TAP will lose TAP eligibility if their approval for Title IV participation is revoked by the U.S. Department of Education. Schools that are not approved for TAP participation at the start of the 2007-08 academic year must be Title IV eligible to participate in the TAP program.
Will students that are currently attending institutions that are eligible for TAP but not Title IV eligible lose TAP eligibility?
No, students currently attending institutions that are TAP eligible but not Title IV eligible will be "grandfathered". As such, no current student will lose eligibility.

No improvement in rights, quality of life in N. Korea: UN
Published on Nov 3, 2012 6:03 AM
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - Living conditions and respect for human rights are no better under North Korea's new leader Kim Jong Un than under his ruthless father Kim Jong Il, according to a United Nations (UN) official on Friday who monitors the situation there.
Under the reclusive country's new leadership, about 16 million people continue to suffer from chronic food insecurity and malnutrition under the nation's new leadership, said Mr Marzuki Darusman, a United Nations special rapporteur.
"Overall, there was no improvement in the human rights situation in the DPRK," Mr Darusman said.
"I continue to be concerned with both the human rights and humanitarian situation in the country."

Meet Jayne Schnaars, Volunteer of the Month for May
May 28, 2014
When Jayne Schnaars came to A-B Tech looking for a volunteer role the program where she would eventually take root had yet to be created. Her career has exemplified her high degree of effectiveness, knowledge and commitment to assuring women stand out in the field of advanced technology. So, Schnaars was one of the first called to participate in a new support system for students through the volunteer services office where selected volunteers were asked to mentor students showing promise, but who lacked the skills to successfully navigate the college setting.
Most of her aerospace background has involved proposing the development and launch of new space systems with an emphasis on international teaming agreements. As a mentor for two A-B Tech students, Schnaars draws from her own college experiences and proficiencies in engineering to raise the level of her mentees' aspirations. "Jane is truly an amazing person and I am so happy that she is in my life. Our relationship is strong, loving, supportive, never-ending and amazingly wonderful," says mentee Ryan Smith, computer business technologies student. "She truly cares and loves what she does. Jayne is special and very important to me and should be recognized for lending a helping hand to an upcoming woman in technology. She shared with me that it was hard but possible. She tells me I am a strong Native American woman who will lead by example and become the leader that I was destined to be. Jayne just helped me to believe in myself and helped me rediscover the courage and ambition that I already have."
As the former Vice President of Business Development for Boeing's Space Exploration Division, Schnaars was responsible for all aspects of strategic planning, marketing and new business pursuits for NASA and commercial customers. These included the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and the new CST-100 space capsule for future space exploration after the Shuttle retires.
This mouthful of accomplishments alone was somewhat awe inspiring for her first introduction to Smith and a second mentee, Felicia Proctor. As a mentor, would Schnaars' lucrative occupation, successful early retirement with a comfortable lifestyle and strong drive act to intimidate the students placed in her charge? Ryan sees Schnaars as a "strong woman pioneer and trail blazer" and she is glad Schnaars is here to help her through her journey. "I give Jayne all the credit for reshaping my goals. She gave me the confidence and the encouragement I needed to feel secure in pursuing my education," said Smith. Proctor echoes these sentiments and says, "Jayne worked to get where she is today. She understands the struggles that life can throw at you, but she also knows if you dig deep you can accomplish so much. Her encouragement and faith in me and my goals makes her a very special person."
To say Schnaars is an inspiration to her mentees is an understatement. Her highly regarded background proved to encourage and propel the students' assessment of themselves and their futures in a very positive and progressive direction. "She shared with me the difference a two and four-year education will bring. She just helped me to believe in myself and helped me rediscover the courage and ambition that I already have," Smith proclaimed. For her, Schnaars is a caring and loving friend. She is there when Smith needs her. "She believes in me even when I don't believe in myself sometimes," said Smith. "Jane supports me in any and all decisions that I make. She helps me with resources that I might need. She is committed and involved in my future. She supports my decisions but also gives suggestions to best help me in what's best for me and my family."
Beyond appreciating that Schnaars was Boeing's Division Director of Business Development for Combat Systems; site executive of the Boeing Huntington Beach, CA campus; vice president for Boeing Launch Services and that she served as the Division Director of Strategic Planning and Business Development for Boeing's NASA Systems division, her mentees can relate to her on a different level. Schnaars did it all on her own - without familial support, in spite of financial constraints and challenged with preconceived perceptions about women in male-dominated fields. "Just because I have a family and other things going on, doesn't mean I have to limit myself in what my goals are," stressed Smith. "I want to reach for that higher education and that higher pay bracket. I want to be able to provide for my family and give my son all that he needs and wants."
For Proctor, a mentor "sounded like I had hit the jackpot." She said. "Not only do the mentors know the ins and outs of college, but they also have real world experience that I could call upon." Proctor's goals were simply to get into college. It was a huge goal in her life that pushed her to get a GED, having never completed high school, she explained.
"I have grown a lot with the help of Jayne and the lovely women who run the mentor program. I now have several small goals that deal with college, grades and raising my standard of living. I have also been able to dig deep and find visionary goals. Eventually, I want to help push engineering and urban farming with aeroponics (hydroponics) in Asheville. I want to see more food available for impoverished and vulnerable people. I would love to see this initiative in place all around the world; however, changing lives in my community is a great first start," says Proctor. "Jayne has been wonderful. She has always been there to help me shape a realistic idea of what to expect and how to deal with situations. She has constantly given me opportunities by setting me up with people in positions of knowledge."
Proctor shares that her background is not geared towards constantly being on top of networking or obligations and that the shift to being responsible is hard for her. "Jane has helped me every step of the way in changing and adapting. She's an amazing friend, and equally important mentor, who keeps me focused. I am extremely lucky to have someone like her to guide me on my path."

Cameron Hughes is not your ordinary winemaker. He doesn't drive a tractor, lovingly prune his vines, and soulfully dip into his barrels. Rather, he sits behind a cluttered desk on his phone lines or his email or both searching for great wine that hasn't been bottled.
In the Ballpark
By Jordan Mackay on February 20, 2007 1:21 PM
As baseball season approaches we're all aware of the myriad places around the ballpark to drink Vodka drinks (e.g. Paragon), stand and chatter in claustrophobic throngs (Momo's), etc. But just a block down from where you can guzzle margaritas (Tres Agaves), there is now a place to sip Sauvignon Blanc, munch on risotto balls and rhapsodize about Pinot Noir. The name of the place is District and it brings a touch of sophistication to a neighborhood that needed it.

The good times always roll when Ales Kristancic (ah-lesh Kris-TON-chitch) of the Slovenian winery Movia comes to town to promote his wine. He is a bald, Baltic ball of fun and brings his lively spirit, passion for wine, and inimitable use of the phrase "tzak, tzak" to town ("tzak" has no real translation, but he uses it when he doesn't know the proper English verb).

I'm down here in New Zealand for this big international Pinot Noir conference, but as an added bonus for coming all the way across the earth, the good kiwi people decided to throw a one-day conference on cool-climate Syrah. The conference was set in an upcoming wine region here in NZ called the Gimblett Gravels (www.gimblettgravels.com). A unique area of land inside the larger appellation of Hawke's Bay on NZ's North Island, Gimblett Gravels has some of the stoniest soil you'll ever see anywhere.

Steak and a Cab
By Jordan Mackay on January 15, 2007 11:49 PM
It's hard to imagine what vegetarian wine lovers have to go through for one simple reason: What do they eat with your Cabernet Sauvignon?
Considering that Cab and its Bordeaux brethren is what we got the most of in California and that it turns up pretty ubiquitously from France, Chile, Argentina, and Australia (to name a few) we have to devise dishes that accompany it well. But, sadly, to me there's really only one thing that always goes well with Cabernet and it is described in two words: red meat.
Growth Potential
By Jordan Mackay on January 05, 2007 4:44 PM
If you've gotten into wine at all in your life, you're probably aware that German Riesling is one of the most incredible wines in the world (and often a super value), but also incredibly difficult to comprehend. The labels in themselves are phenomenal works of code—and the familiar designations like kabinet, spätlese, etc are indecipherable to most people.
Report Card
By Jordan Mackay on December 04, 2006 10:47 AM
A simple Google search on the terms Thanksgiving and Wine yields just over 5 million web pages. For wine writers, responding to some imagined American SOS call in choosing a wine for Thanksgiving dinner has become somewhat of a cottage industry. It's the rote column every wine writer has to write, as in this one from the blog Vinography.com: vinography.com/archives/2006/11/thanksgiving_wine_recommendati.html. The problem, they say, is finding a wine that works with all the disparate elements on the table.

My very awesome roommate actually made this cake (twice!), so the technical comments are based on her experiences. But I can definitely say that this cake tastes wonderful. It's very moist, but light, and not too sweet. The first time my roommate made it though, it looked really gloopy -- the icing was sliding off, and the juice from the strawberries made smears on the cake. Here's what she did the second time: she used less milk in the pudding mix (for the icing) to make it firmer. She handled the pudding/Cool Whip mixture as little as possible -- just enough to fold it all in, but no more. Finally, she drained the strawberries AFTER slicing them (leaving them in a papertowel-lined bowl in the fridge overnight), and blotted the slices w/ a paper towel before putting them on the ice cake. With these modifications, the cake held up much better, and looked as fantastic as it tasted!
The taste is what saved this cake for me. 1st, make sure you read ALL the steps (i didn't read ahead, just followed the steps in order), my first mistake was mixing both boxes of pudding in with the cake mix (I used lemon cake, mayo). When I got to the 2nd step for the filling, I was like what pudding? Anyways I went to the store and got another box of lemon pudding for the whipped topping filling. So the cake wound up having an extra box of pudding in it. The filling was so runny that it would not set up and the cakes were sliding around. It wound up looking like an avalanche. But it was delicious. If I were to make it again I would fill it differently, maybe use real whipped cream instead of whipped topping or a whipped cream/cream cheese combo with the lemon pudding. But the lemon/strawberry combo is very good and the actual cake itself was dense and moist and really good.
this cake is simply amazing. I made it for a memorial day bbq. I originally thought it may have been too much since there were only 6 people there but everyone had seconds and there was only one piece left for me to take home. I am debating on making it again today....just because! its so tasty...i loved it!! also many reviewers complained about the frosting not being firm enough. i refridgerated the pudding and them when i mixed in the whipped cream topping and put it in the freezer to thicken it up some. turned out perfect!!! review edit: I made this cake again with jello brand pudding...BIG mistake. the "frosting" was so runny and i couldnt get it firm. i made another one the same day with generic lemon pudding...it turned out amazing!!! so i HIGHLY recommend using the generic pudding...its cheaper, it taste better, and it looks better....not to mention its easier to work with!!!

LUXURY'S GLASS CEILING: Imran Amed has taken a spyglass to the h.r. offices of the world's large and small luxury companies and discovered an overall corporate culture that's struggling to keep up with the times. "The Talent Agenda: A State-of-the-Industry Report on People and HR Management" will be released today, and is published by Luxury Society, the Paris-based social network site for industry professionals, of which Amed is a co-founder. The findings are based on feedback from top managers including Chantal Gaemperle, group executive vice president of human resources and synergies at LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton; Karen Lombardo, evp of global human resources at Gucci Group, and Thomas Lindemann, group human resources director at Richemont, and is free to Luxury Society members. The site has 12,000 members in 150 countries. Amed polled the members from May through the beginning of July and said he got "about 600 responses" within the first few hours.
He said among the most interesting findings was luxury's failure to work the Web when it comes to recruitment. About 60 percent of respondents said they turn to social media sites when seeking a new job, yet most luxury companies don't advertise jobs on their sites or use social media to find candidates.
The report also says luxury companies are "struggling to find the digital talent they need, and are missing opportunities to nurture digital expertise across the organization."
Another revelation is that while women make up a healthy percentage of the luxury workforce, they are underrepresented at high levels of leadership. According to the report, Gucci Group, Richemont, L'Oréal and LVMH all have a workforce comprised of more than 55 percent women. However, the percentage of women in board seats ranges from 7 to 29 percent.
"We are still facing the same historic issues as other major corporations," said Gaemperle of LVMH. "Statistics show that the glass ceiling still exists."

War Eagle, everybody. It's time now for the Acid Reign report on Auburn's 55-44 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Iron Bowl. In many ways, this game was a microcosm of Auburn's season in October and November. Despite having one of the most explosive offenses in Auburn history, this team finds ways to hamstring themselves. The Auburn defense can take a bit of solace that they aren't quite as bad as the defenses the team fielded in 2009, 2011 and 2012. What can one say about an offense that chewed up 630 yards of offense, made 28 first downs, and scored 44 points? It should have been enough to win, but ...

Verified Purchase
Nice quality paper, but 40 sheets goes fast: get refills when you buy the pad.
(Or, if the other reviewer would let us know where to get those square punches
-- what a great customization idea!) The rings look delicate, but I haven't
ruined them yet. It also fits well into a Rite-In-The-Rain 3x5" pad cover.

Verified Purchase
Better apparent quality than the ubiquitous Staedtler Mars 780 (haven't tried
the 925 available here) for less money, with more pronounced knurling on the
grip. Nice "knock" system. One feature of the 780 that I don't really miss is
the lack of sharpener in the cap: I'd rather carry something like the Sun-Star
SharPits 2 mm, since that wouldn't leave carbon dust inside the holder barrell
to get all over the inside of your bag! I do wish it had an adjustable
indicator (like the 925) instead of color coded barrels.

Just as good quality...
Verified Purchase
Just as good quality as the standard (non-calligraphy/non-italic) tips, which
means excellent. It is smooth flowing without too heavy a flow rate given the
width, and there is no snagging with the squared off tip. The narrower profile
of the chisel tip is a little thick, compared to the tip of a Pilot Plumix; in
line with the tendency of German brands of nibs being thicker than Japanese.
However, there is still lots of contrast in line thinkness, given that the
controlled ink flow rate doesn't lend itself to line "bleed".

Verified Purchase
Actually a richer colour than the photo would suggest: went with it because the
description was "Dark Red". The pattern looks to be woven from the picture, but
is printed -- no matter, as it's printed very finely. Makes not only a great
pen roll, but for other small items, such as crochet hooks!

Verified Purchase
Bought this as a gift for someone who uses rollerballs, after having good
experiences with the Sport fountain pens. I got to try it myself & find that,
for smoothness, it can keep up with quality pens of either type. It seems to be
getting hard to find affordable ballpoints that take cartridges, so this is a
great way to give someone who's used to "normal" pens the opportunity to play
with unusual ink colours. My only small criticism is that the inside of the cap
has an insert of cloudy plastic (which is hard to see in the product photo)
which makes it look a bit cheap compared to rest of the clear body: next time
I'd probably go with black.

Verified Purchase
Bought this to replace a lost (beloved) Fine-nibbed one, in the hope that if it
turned up, I'd then have each of the sizes. At first I regretted having ordered
the EF, finding it a bit scratchy compared to my memory of the F, but after a
very short "work-in" it turned out almost as smooth and just as reliable. The
key is not to judge it by how it feels the instant ink starts coming through. I
found that the F worked with any ink I could throw at it, and am hoping the EF
won't be touchy either.

Verified Purchase
Was a bit leery when I received the pen as it had astrip of dried glue stuck to
it & the metal part of the nib was out of line with the black plastic part of
the feed underneath. However, it was easy to straighten & hasn't drifted out of
alignment yet. It also writes beautifully and smoothly with the included black
cartridge. Not the finest of the fine nibs -- by Japanese-manufactured standards
-- but doesn't bleed where others do. Looks & performs like a pen costing at
least double. Yet to try it with the Ohto adapter...

Perhaps fragile compared to the best leads (maybe Stein?), but when compared to
no-name lead, this 0.3 is stronger than other 0.5.

Verified Purchase
Works well, but looks better! Love how the lead advance button works through the
cap, though wish it wouldn't advance when the cap was in place on the front of
the pencil. Not the best grip in the world, either. The gray has a nice
brown/greenish tinge that doesn't show up as strongly in the picture.
April 29, 2011

Verified Purchase
A bit flimsy compared to a more expensive multi-pen: It can be a bit tricky to
slide in refills & they retract accidentally a bit too easily. However, in my
opinion, multi-pens are mostly a novelty, anyway & the options available for
this 5-color make it the most fun multi available. I like to put the pencil,
eraser & 3 bright colors in it & keep it on hand to mark up writing done with a
"real" pen.

I was wondering what you guys think of the Anolon set currently at costco. I think it was $199 with an assortment of pans and pots. Non-stick interior with stainless outside, thick and weight heavy with riveted handles.
It is made in China and for Meyer (parent company?)
Currently the costco non-stick set that is made in Italy, but I am changing to induction cook top so I am looking for non-stick that works with induction cooktop and the Anolon says that it does.
Follow-Up Postings:
Never been impressed with Anolon. Most have thin bottoms on the pans which tends to lead to uneven cooking. |

Etta Moten Barnett's leopard-print hat and matching handbag, c. 1960
Gift of Sue Barnett Ish, ICHi-68439
Etta Moten Barnett (1901–2004) was a groundbreaking performer and activist who spent her long life making statements. She undoubtedly accomplished one with this leopard-print topper and matching handbag. Her daughter Sue Ish, who donated many of Barnett's garments to the Museum, thinks the set matched a cape made from fabric purchased during one of her mother's many trips to Africa. In the late 1950s, Barnett and her husband, Claude Barnett, founder of the Chicago-based Associated Negro Press, traveled to that continent often to support newly independent nations.
Promotional photograph of Etta Moten Barnett, c. 1947
Chicago History Museum, ICHi-29231
Etta Moten was born in Weimer, Texas, but spent her youth in California and Kansas. After earning her bachelor's degree at the University of Kansas in 1931, she headed to New York City where she landed roles in a number of Broadway productions. Soon her talents were recognized in Hollywood, where she was cast in smaller parts before making waves in Gold Diggers of 1933. Racial segregation, however, limited Barnett's on-screen opportunities and most often she did voice-over work for white actresses, including Barbara Stanwyck. Despite significant roadblocks, Barnett's talent was widely respected, and in 1934, the year she married Claude Barnett and settled in Chicago, she made history as the first black woman to perform at the White House.
Watch Etta Moten sing in Gold Diggers of 1933
In 1942, Barnett returned to Broadway for what became her signature role—Bess in the revival of the Gershwins' epic Porgy and Bess. Many have claimed that George Gershwin wrote the role with her in mind, but Barnett denied this. Barnett, who maintained Etta Moten as her stage name, continued to perform nationally and internationally until officially retiring in the early 1950s. Retirement, however, didn't keep her from championing many causes and supporting the arts and culture in Chicago. She hosted a number of local radio programs, sat on numerous philanthropic boards, and received several awards, including the Chicago History Museum's Making History Award in 1998.

Guess Who Got Carmen Electra Flustered?
The sexy star was left "breathless" by a certain celeb at the SAG Awards.
Carmen Electra was left breathless by a fellow celeb at Sunday night's SAG Awards -- but it may not be who you think.
"I just ran into Nicole Kidman," the 90210 actress told Celebuzz. "She's so breathtaking."
And though she admits that the two didn't actually speak, that didn't make the moment any less important for Electra. "It was very amazing," she gushed.
The sexy former Baywatch babe, who was decked out in a revealing navy blue, mermaid-style gown, with an old-hollywood sweeping hairdo, said that it took, "Two hours of hair and makeup and wardrobe" to get her perfectly coiffed look. Time well spent!
What do you think of Carmen's look? Does two hours seem like a long time to get ready or not?

- Work to bring Poland's Siekierki gas field online is set to begin shortly following a deal between operator San Leon Energy (SLGYF) and Baker Hughes (BHI -0.5%).
- BHI will receive a return from 75% of profits generated from production, followed by a 10% net profit interest in the wells, in return for the full funding of all stages of the project.
- Separately, Argus Research raises its BHI price target to $80 from $68, as it continues to expect the North American onshore market to drive earnings growth; the stock trades at 17x the firm's 2014 EPS estimate and 13.4x its 2015 estimate, seen as too low based on its forecast for average annual EPS growth of 42% over the next two years (Briefing.com).
Mar. 28, 2014, 4:47 PM
- TransAtlantic Petroleum (TAT) signs a term sheet agreement with San Leon Energy (SLGYF) and Hutton Energy in which TAT would receive a 50% interest in nine Polish concessions encompassing 1.9M gross acres.
- TAT will fund $5M of past expenses in the concession blocks and fund 100% of the cost to drill and complete two wells and re-enter and stimulate four wells.
- TAT will take over operatorship of the concessions and fund its 50% share of all G&A costs going forward; San Leon's interest is reduced to 37.5%.
Feb. 5, 2014, 12:19 PM
- Poland officials say they will speed up work on setting regulations for its nascent shale gas industry, after London-listed San Leon Energy (SLGYF) said last month that it had made significant progress toward commercial production after vertical drilling in northern Poland.
- The development rekindled Poland's hope that shale gas will become a viable source of energy for the economy which relies on Russia for 60% of the gas used each year.
- Chevron (CVX) has continued to move forward on shale gas exploration in Poland after Exxon, Talisman and Marathon Oil abandoned projects after mixed results.
Jul. 5, 2013, 3:38 PMPoland has plenty of gas, but hopes it can lead a shale gas boom in Europe are fading fast as energy companies say government red tape is delaying commercial output and draft proposals to cut bureaucracy don't go far enough. If shale gas fails to live up to the potential, the chief beneficiary would be Russia's Gazprom, which would continue to be Poland's biggest gas supplier. | Jul. 5, 2013, 3:38 PM | 14 Comments
May. 8, 2013, 8:09 AMTalisman Energy (TLM) is pulling out of exploration for shale gas in Poland, saying it will sell its Polish interests to San Leon Energy after failing to find enough gas to warrant further expensive exploration or extraction procedures. Exxon sold its Polish concessions last year, and the decisions are a blow to the country's hopes that its shale deposits eventually will cut dependence on Russian supplies. | May. 8, 2013, 8:09 AM | Comment!
Mar. 18, 2013, 8:59 AMHalliburton (HAL) signs a strategic partnership that could see it earn up to a 25% stake in three Polish concessions. London-listed San Leon Energy (SLGYF.PK) would continue as manager and operator of the concessions, while HAL would perform and fund fracturing tests for the Siciny-2 well in Q2 2013. | Mar. 18, 2013, 8:59 AM | Comment!

Company Description
San Leon Energy is an oil and gas exploration company and is Europe's leading shale gas company by acreage. San Leon's assets are located in Poland, Morocco, Albania, Ireland and Spain. The Company's portfolio across these geographies is made up of both shale and conventional oil and gas assets.

When Samuel G. Freedman was nearing fifty, the same age at which his mother died of breast cancer, he realized that he did not know who she was. Of course, he knew that Eleanor had been his mother, a mother he kept at an emotional distance both in life and after death. He had never thought about the entire life she lived before him, a life of her own dreams and disappointments. And now, that ignorance haunted him.

The tantilizing aromas of grilled meat waft from the kitchen's charcoal grills, settling above a dining room where gauchos carve meats off skewers or expertly lasso drink orders. The refreshingly pared-down menu is divided according to the different cuts of beef, pork, chicken, or lamb available.
The lengua burritos, Jarritos, and red and green sauces that smother enchiladas aren't the only authentic south-of-the-border touches at Changarro Cocina. Its drink list also brings some traditional flavor. The granite bar area, part of the new owner's renovations, hosts more than 70 different tequilas and margaritas made fresh without any mixers. Patrons sip these beverages while nibbling ceviche, huaraches, and tortas and cheering on soccer matches, baseball games, and ice-fishing tournaments broadcast on TVs throughout the restaurant.
Taste of Brasil regales visitors with the country's best flavors in the form of rich stews, steaks, sandwiches, and sweets. Though full of Portuguese terms, the menu caters to English speakers by clearly describing each traditional entrée, such as feijoada, Brazil's national dish comprised of a black-bean stew swimming with smoked pork and sausage, and picanha sandwiches filled with the country's most popular cut of steak. Diners can complement their hearty main dishes with colorful salpicao salads, slow-cooked lentil soups, and light, fluffy mango mousse. After guests quell exotic cravings, they cheer on their favorite team during World Cup viewing parties, or don masks and dance during lively masquerade balls.
Chefs at Aodake Sushi & Steak House dispatch sushi and hibachi-seared steaks beneath hanging lamps and glowing globes. Meat, vegetables, and seafood make for multicourse meals, and a variety of kitchen entrees bolster the thronged dinner menu. At the bar, more than 20 vodkas alchemize into a variety of martinis or blocks of pure gold.
Branmor's stable of protein pugilists is home to a heavyweight assortment of steaks and chophouse standbys. Tempt taste bids with savory starters such as the gorgonzola bruschetta ($9) or calamari fritters ($9) before selecting from the eight signature, sear-seeking styles of steak. Stay classic with the filet mignon (7 oz., $24+), kick up piquant clouds with the chimichurri hangar steak ($23), or let mouths marvel at the mushroom and blue cheese-laden grid iron steak, which combines disciplined preparation with tender tastes in a way unseen since the all-linebacker production of Swan Lake ($22). Branmor's block of menu mainstays also includes australian lamb chops ($31), dijon-drizzled pretzel chicken ($19), and Walt's well-rubbed barbecued ribs ($14 for half, $22 for full).
In 1967, Benny and Joy Leonardo decided it was time the world got a taste of the family's Italian cooking, maybe with a side of prime-aged beef. They founded Mr. Benny's Steak & Lobster House, an enduring fine dining establishment that dishes up fine meats and fresh seafood in hot, Italian-style entrees. They've changed locations and expanded over the years, but the fine eats the restaurant serves at its two locations maintain the same spirit as the original spot. In Matteson, chefs sling steaks in an almost entirely brick structure, the interior warmly lit by chandeliers and wall sconces. Outside the window, privacy bushes enclose a small garden of statuary. Meanwhile, the Mokena restaurant boasts hand-painted murals and a brick-laid patio for al fresco dining, as long as weather permits and the sun hasn't retired to another galaxy.
