MOORHEAD - After more than a year of living in motels, Melissa Rood has a home again.
It took that long because every time Rood, 53, applied for an apartment, landlords rejected her based on bad credit and a poor reference. A previous property owner claimed she owed rent and other fees, which she plans to dispute in court.

Last week I had an interesting conversation with a fellow from Maryland, a Vietnam vet named Ed Nicholson.
He called me to talk about fishing — more specifically, fly fishing.
Nicholson told me that about a dozen years ago, while he was in Walter Reed Medical Center undergoing treatment for cancer, he got to know quite a few injured military members and disabled veterans.

Style | Classic |
What are you most proud of? The fit...after a fair amount of tinkering around and a few false starts, the fit is perfect.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? It is critically important to make a swatch of the whole lace pattern, especially if you decide to make a dramatic change in yarn, i.e. from wool to cotton. Measure carefully as you are knitting the yoke and try on often. For the sweater to have an attractive contemporary look and fit, the armhole needs to be quite high with limited ease in the sleeve. Calculate your gauge for the body eyelet pattern carefully and use this gauge to make adjustments in the width and length of the sleeves and body. I finally leaned to read charts working on this project and making a couple of swatches of the lace pattern to get the right gauge was most helpful. By the time I was ready to knit the yoke, I had a good understanding of the logic of the lace pattern design, and thus, made fewer mistakes along the way.
Very beautiful. You are a talented knitter and an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your process for adapting the pattern to get what you wanted. Almost every pattern turns out to be "not exactly right" and it's helpful to know how you went about this. Happy summer!
Your sweater is beautiful! I like the pattern and the color. It looks classy!

An inconvenient little fact the idiot liberals and their mainstream media goons don't want to seem to admit. Go figure?
The weapon he was reported to have used would not have been banned by he 1994 assault weapons ban.
Assuming you mean the Bushmaster .223, it was not illegal under the Conn. ban, which is reportedly a stronger ban than Feinstein's was, and was not allowed to sunset. The only reason it wasn't illegal though is because it was manufactured prior to the ban, and I read that she (the mother) registered it according to CT law. The ban is more a ban on the manufacture and importation.
What law could have prevented this? Someone please tell me? Also, can someone define what an assault weapon is? I am confused.
Should have made the first bill stiffer. Bet ya the new bill will be. They did admit the first ban did not go far enough. Hide those AR's and big Mags, cause the will be illegal. You don't want to get caught with either one when this bill passes.Those expensive guns won't be worth scrap prices,seeing they are half plastic.
"Hide those AR's and big Mags, cause the will be illegal. You don't want to get caught with either one when this bill passes" Feinstein's Bill, which is the one that big O is going to consider, is prospective, rather than retroactive, just like her first one, which was allowed to sunset because it didn't reduce violent gun crimes. In fact, the Columbine Massacre occurred during her first ban. If you try to pass an illegal confiscation of guns, without an Amendment to the Constitution, you will have a civil war on your hands, with cops and military caught in the middle, many of which are members of Oathkeepers, sworn to uphold the Constitution above all orders.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) will miss Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) when he retires next year.
Collins approached Kohl outside the Senate floor Tuesday as they made their way to their respective party lunches. "I am so sorry to hear you are leaving," Collins said, hugging Kohl.
"Don't worry," he replied, "I'll still let you know when we are having sales."
Collins laughed.
Both members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Collins and Kohl have served together since the Maine Republican arrived in Washington in 1997.
Kohl sold the department stores that bear his family name in 1979, but he still owns the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks.
ITK hopes that means free tickets for his former Senate colleagues after he retires.

Hamilton Hitchhikes On Private Jets
Actor George Hamilton has a luxurious way of travelling around the world - he hitchhikes on private jets.
THE GODFATHER star admits he could never afford to travel in such style if he had to pay, so he's thrilled he's been able to talk his way on to so many planes for free.
He says, "I got to the airport a lot and I remember seeing Donald Trump in Aspen, Colorado, schlepping luggage around for his then-wife IVANA. I was thinking, 'This guy shouldn't be doing this stuff'. And he was waiting for a plane - a commercial plane. I thought, 'That guy shouldn't be doing that'.
"So I walked around to the private airport, put my feet up on my bag and I took out a WALL STREET JOURNAL. And a guy says, 'What's up?' I said, 'I'm waiting for... my plane'. He said, 'Well, we're going to Paris, could we drop you somewhere?' I said, 'Maybe New York'. And they apologised for the catering!
"I am now able to hitchhike on private planes. And people are really nice. They say, 'My wife would like you to take the bed. You go back there and sleep.' And I've been able to fly all over the world now."

Dell Inspiron 1545 review
15.6 in 1,366x768 display, 2.6kg, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T4200, 3.00GB RAM, 160GB disk, Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
We've seen the Inspiron 1545 before, when it had an older processor; otherwise, the specifications are virtually identical.
The two laptops have very different power consumption levels, however. The newer model is much more efficient, lasting for three hours and 48 minutes in our tests, as opposed to the previous battery life of under two hours.
The new 1545 scored 53 overall in our benchmarks. This isn't bad for a budget laptop, and is around three times quicker than the average netbook. We liked the simple design, with its glossy black case and rounded edges. Build quality isn't as good as we'd expect, with a worrying amount of flex in the lid and a slight bounce in the keyboard when typing.
Keys are large and well laid out, with a moulded shape that helps orient your fingertips on each one, and enough feedback to make for accurate touch-typing. Our only niggle is the way Dell has swapped the top row of function keys with hardware shortcuts, such as wireless and volume control, and media playback controls; however, this can be changed in the Windows-style BIOS. The touchpad is a subtle indentation on the case's surface. It's smooth and responsive, and the buttons are large, with a light action and plenty of travel.
The screen is a little dark, but colours are accurate and the backlight is nice and even. The 1,366x768 resolution is the same as many HD TVs, making the Inspiron ideal for watching television programmes. It also reduces the size of black bars in movies. Apart from an ExpressCard/34 slot and a memory card reader, the 1545 is on par with most netbooks when it comes to expansion ports: three USB ports, network and VGA ports, and audio ports.
It may lack frills such as a webcam, but Dell's 1545 is great value at £350. This is a special offer, but Dell always has a base model at this price, changing the processor, RAM and hard disk capacity from time to time. Due to the ever-changing specifications, we can't give the 1545 an award, but if you find it with these - or better - specifications, it's a superb buy, and a better choice than PC Nextday's Versa.

The Official "Drunk in Love" Remix Power Rankings
How's your 2014 going? Do you feel like you've accomplished anything in the first 50 days of the year? Is time passing you by? Does it make you feel worse that every musician on Earth has covered Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love" already? Does it make you feel better that there's no way anyone has listened to every single one? Except for me, for the express purpose of telling you which ones are worth your time (smooth jazz!) and which ones should be forgotten immediately (go on vacation, Diplo, and not to Jamaica).
It's a long road ahead. The saxophone will be our savior.
01. Rashad Maybell
Rashad Maybell is a saxophone player and prolific cover artist who updates his YouTube page multiple times a week with smooth jazz versions of major pop smashes ("Wrecking Ball") and oldies R&B. His twist of "Drunk in Love" is a total revelation, though: as the instrumental plays, Maybell mimics Beyoncé's vocals with his sax, riding the waves of the beat like the brass is a—well, you know. The greatest part of the original "Drunk in Love" is how improvisational Beyoncé's verses sound, which make them perfect for someone who loves to do nothing more than to shoot rainbows out of his saxophone.
02. Katy B
When Katy B does covers, they always feel truly curated. She has spotlighted forgotten classics by artists like Kele Le Roc and Inner City, and most recently mashed up Arctic Monkeys and Ben Pearson. So, of course, her cover of "Drunk in Love" isn't solely that; instead it grows out of her version of Tinashe's "Vulnerable." The pairing is intentional: "Vulnerable" is about intense lust, too, but an agitated sort where the aggression comes from frustration and not radiant marital bliss. It's a juxtaposition, but a harmonic one, and it holds together because Katy B is the only person on this list whose voice can play on the same field as Beyoncé's.
03. Future
Future and Ciara are the Beyoncé and Jay Z for a certain type of nerd, so something about this version just feels cosmically right. But Future is also the only major artist here who maintains the original's spirit while still bringing a singularity that isn't weird or gross or jarring (we'll get to all three soon). Where Beyoncé's vocals soar up, Future's ripple out, but they're both drunk in love just the same.
04. Kanye West
It's a lot easier to stomach Kanye's weird sex lyrics when they at least mean new Kanye music, especially if we're talking something as mind-bending as Yeezus. But there is a version of "Drunk in Love" that exists without Kanye rapping about reverse cowgirl, so I'm probably just gonna choose that one at the end of the day. Still, there's something to be said about the pure goofiness of Kanye's verse: even Beyoncé's sloppiest sex seems a bit too perfect.
05. Angel Haze
This version is exceedingly competent but, like a lot of what Angel Haze does, is also a bit labored. It does imagine "Drunk in Love" as a Glastonbury set closer, though, which is a bit of an interesting twist, and I think her backing vocalist might actually be drunk, so shoutout to her.
06. Rico Love and Plies
Rico Love is a sneakily good R&B artist whose part on this remix is straight garbage. Plies is… Plies: two bars into his verse and he's already talking about where he wants to ejaculate. Also, he's never been in love, so this is really "Drunk In Plies' Neverending Porno." I like this one though because it allows me to daydream about Beyoncé dropping her album out of nowhere, exactly the same as it is now and in the exact same way, but with Plies on "Drunk in Love" instead of Jay Z.
07. Detail
It's easy to see what Detail, who produced the original song, was going for here. The idea of "Drunk in Love" as a blown-out movie score is sort of dastardly brilliant considering how titanic the first version already is. But the loop of Beyoncé's wailing sounds like a pre-fitted Soundcloud prank and the final six minutes never actually accomplish what the concept threatens.
08. James Blake
This is throwback James Blake: your sultry R&B singer is now a moaning ghost. But he doesn't seem quite invested in the idea, and so this one is jokey and forgettable.
09. The Weeknd
This is really good—as sultry and dark as the best Weeknd songs—for exactly 90 seconds, but then the beat drops (why does a beat drop?), Abel Tesfaye starts rapping and I remember that I stopped listening to the Weeknd two years ago.
This isn't last because of the sole strength of T.I.'s mere existence on a song, but GOOD GOD THE GUY WHO LITERALLY RECORDED TRAP MUZIK IS NOW DOING "TRAP MUSIC" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. "Now don't take this as misogyny/ When I say take this mahogany" is a hilariously stupid line, though.
11. IceJJFish
IceJJFish is some sort of meme or comedian or something? I don't know, I've got 30 million other things to figure out before I die so call me when Yung Humma floats over "Drunk in Love."
12. Diplo
I'm not convinced that the real Diplo actually did this remix. Are we sure there isn't a beta version of the Mad Decent app that allows any bored 17-year-old to throw a whoopee cushion beat-drop into his or her favorite pop song? NOTE: If this is Diplo doing self-parody, move to number one.
∞. Karmin
"No results found for 'karmin beyonce drunk in love cover'." Well at least we have this.

Blog Post: The Marketing Department of the Future
To me, the premise that "SEO is a collection of best practices" does not fully encompass the role. Saying, rather, that "SEO is a collection of best practices with a goal of bettering a site's position in the search results" brings into the definition a competitive aspect (I want to outdo my competitor/Google), a troubleshooting aspect (why isn't this doing what I think it should be doing and how can i fix that?), and an exploratory aspect (what more can be done that I don't know about yet?) that I think requires allowing companies wide leeway in their implementation. It is the enjoyment of those aspects, in addition to the structured best practices, that keeps me doing this work and they are the reason, I believe, that it has proven so difficult to come up with a term/job title that replaces SEO--as much as I wish one could.

Global Warming and Earthly Lies
Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute and a prominent climate change expert, admitted Monday that he lied. Gleick pretended to be someone else in order to obtain documents from the Heartland Institute, which has challenged mainstream scientific consensus on the role of man in global warming.
Last week, Gleick was the chairman of the American Geophysical Union's Task Force on Scientific Ethics. Now he isn't. As New York Times blogger Andrew C. Revkin weighed in, "Gleick has admitted to an act that leaves his reputation in ruins and threatens to undercut the cause he spent so much time pursuing."
Bravo to Gleick for admitting that he lied "in a serious lapse" of his own and "professional judgment and ethics." At least he had the integrity to own up to his mistake.
But Gleick doesn't look all that noble when you look at his excuse. In a statement released on The Huffington Post, Gleick said he lied because he wants "a rational public debate." That's sort of like Newt Gingrich saying that his extramarital affairs were partially driven by how passionately he felt about this country.
Heartland President Joe Bast accused Gleick of "stealing" internal documents to "embarrass a group that disagrees with his views." Enviros love the karma here. In 2009, someone leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit that uncovered the vindictive and censorious side of the global-warming community. Climate change activists were reduced to complaining that the emails were leaked. Now Heartland has had to take a bite of that bitter apple.
In addition, Heartland spokesman Jim Lakely charges that one of the leaked documents — a two-page strategy memo — is "a complete fake." It uses the sort of language a true believer in global warming might think skeptics use. The Atlantic's Megan McArdle "is inclined to believe" Heartland on this.
But Gleick did not admit to faking the memo. Chris Lehane — the former Al Gore flack who is representing Gleick pro bono — notes that the two-pager contains "previously unknown facts" since confirmed. Lehane says Heartland should "get off its Trojan high horse and come clean by explaining the identity of its secret large donor."
The folks at the Heartland are particularly indignant about Gleick's vaunted rationale — that he was "frustrated" at skeptics' efforts to "prevent this debate" — because Heartland invited Gleick to a debate. Gleick declined the offer.
He isn't talking to the media. A representative told me that Gleick would speak to Heartland only if the organization released the names of anonymous donors. That tells me Gleick doesn't really want a debate; he wants a monologue.
Indeed, in 2001, Gleick told U.S. News & World Report, "The debate is over."
This is how the global-warming community operates. Activists accuse skeptics of being anti-science and dishonest under the apparent belief that they are honest and analytical. They're filled with their integrity until they get frustrated. They say that they only want to debate, except the debate is over. Then they wonder why skeptics don't believe them.

Since 2008, the solar industry in Massachusetts has grown into a robust economic sector with hundreds of businesses and thousands of projects installed across the Commonwealth. With Governor Patrick's goal to continue expansion of the solar market to 1600 MW by 2020, the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) expects the solar market to continue to grow, including thousands of residential installations each year.
Residential solar installations offer homeowners with an opportunity to directly engage in the solar market and realize energy and costs savings. Locally owned and financed solar projects, in comparison with 3rd party owned installations, provide substantially greater economic value to the homeowner and the local economy. As demonstrated by a 2013 DOER study , homeowners and the Commonwealth can realize greater financial benefits from directly owning the solar systems, in comparison with third-party ownership or leasing opportunities. To this end, in March 2014 DOER announced that it has committed $30 million of RPS Alternative Compliance Payment funds to establish a Residential Solar Loan Program. The program will use credit enhancement to encourage solar lending, and thereby
- facilitate homeowners' access to attractive solar loans
- provide new business opportunities for our local lending institutions.
DOER seeks to enable cash-flow positive loans, and to provide sufficient risk mitigation to enhance lenders comfort in offering loans to homeowners over a wider range of wealth and credit qualifications.
Final Program Design
On January 6, 2015, the Patrick Administration announced the final design of a $30 million residential solar loan program to complement the nation-leading solar market in Massachusetts. This program, designed to make it easier for homeowners to finance solar electric projects on their homes, will work with banks and credit unions to expand borrowing options through lower interest rate loans and encourage loans for homeowners with lower income or lower credit scores.
The final program design presentation is available online .
Revised Program Design
In conjunction with its consultant The Cadmus Group and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, DOER worked to incorporate feedback to develop a revised program design and, on October 16th 2014,solicited written feedback. DOER solicited comments from all stakeholders engaged in the Residential Solar Loan program draft process. The comment period was open until 5:00PM on Thursday October 23rd.
The revised program design presentation is available online .
DOER received written comments that were reviewed and are available online .
Secondary Program Design
On August 20th, DOER presented a secondary draft design of the residential solar loan program to its lender working group. The group consisted of banks, credit unions, and solar developers who had attended DOER's initial stakeholder meetings and expressed interest in providing further insight on the financial aspects of the program design. DOER presented a secondary program design to lender working group participants at the August 20th meeting. DOER received verbal comments and hopes to receive additional written comments on the secondary loan program design. The comment period was open until 5:00pm on Thursday August 28th. Comments were provided to Emma Krause at firstname.lastname@example.com.
PLEASE NOTE: DOER added a slide to the secondary program design based on the Lender Working Groups feedback and asked for comments on this slide in addition to the rest of the presentation.
The secondary loan program design as presented at the Lender Working Group Meeting is available here .
DOER received both verbal and written comments on the secondary program design which are available here .
Preliminary Program Design
During the week of June 30, DOER conducted a series of stakeholder meetings with the solar market as well as banks, credit unions and other relevant entities to review and receive feedback on the preliminary loan program design. Meetings were conducted in the Eastern, Central, and Western part of the state and comments were gathered through Tuesday July 15, 2014. DOER received both verbal and written comments on the preliminary loan program design. These comments are available here .
The preliminary loan program design as presented at the Stakeholder Meetings is available here .

If ever there was tangible proof of just how far Tourette's sufferer and campaigner Jess Thom has come, this weekend's Glastonbury Festival must surely be it. Back home after three days at the music and culture extravaganza, she wipes the mud off her all-terrain wheelchair, which is fitted with specially adapted tractor tyres to cope with the festival's famously inclement weather, and gives a mischievous chuckle.
"Three years ago, I spent a pretty lonely weekend on my own watching Glastonbury on telly. Most of my friends were there, so there was hardly anyone about, and it was blisteringly hot, but I couldn't get out because I lived in a flat up a lot of stairs and needed a lot of help," she says.
Jess, now 33, has experienced the random verbal and motor tics that characterise Tourette's syndrome since the age of six, but was only formally diagnosed with the condition at age 25. Three years ago, she was at her lowest ebb.
"Tourette's is a condition that waxes and wanes, but my motor tics in particular had really intensified around that time. The tics in my legs had become so pronounced that I would literally drop to my knees every few steps, and I had been constantly thumping myself on the chest for a couple of years. At one time, I even hit myself in the face.
"On several occasions, alone in a friend's flat, I fell down and couldn't get myself back up for 20 minutes, during which time my hands were constantly banging against the fireplace. I felt desperate, and at that moment I wouldn't have dreamt of even going to something like Glastonbury."
Contrast that with the Jess of today. Not content simply to attend the music festival, she performed there, to an audience of thousands. "I did six shows, two a day, on the Sensation Seekers stage," she says. Jess teamed up with an act called Captain Hotknives to perform an improvisation show in which the Captain turned Jess's tics into comedic songs and stories.
It is the sort of exposure that would strike fear into the heart of a seasoned performer, so it is easy to forget that it is only two years since Jess burst on to the national consciousness, when she gave an interview to Radio 4's Today programme, in which she unleashed her unique tic-peppered voice to millions of listeners in an attempt to raise awareness of the condition.
Since then, the inspirational woman who says "biscuit" 16,000 times a day has become the poster girl for Tourette's. Glastonbury wasn't even the culmination of her dreams, but merely the first step in a summer campaign to demystify a neurological condition that affects more than 300,000 children and adults in Britain. It is still erroneously referred to by many as "the swearing disease". (In fact, only 10 per cent of sufferers curse uncontrollably.)
When she is not working at the Oasis Children's Nature Garden, a children's project in south London, where her remit includes fundraising, service development and volunteer management, Jess will spend the next few weeks rehearsing for the Edinburgh Fringe. Her debut show there is called Backstage In Biscuit Land, and features comedy, storytelling and puppetry.
"One of my motivations for doing the show is to reclaim the laughter associated with Tourette's. Humour is something that can be missing in discussions about disability, but for me humour is one of the things that makes difficult times manageable. Tourette's is so much funnier than just people swearing in the supermarket."
As if on cue, Jess suddenly squeals "Aladdin is dead!", before breaking into laughter and explaining: "I announce Aladdin's death quite a lot. I have no idea why, it's just a random thing, but when I'm around kids, I have to immediately add: 'Not really.' The other hilarious one is when I announce 'Biscuit time!' at the children's project, and all the kids are flummoxed until I say: 'Actual biscuit time.' "
Jess has co-written the Edinburgh show with puppeteer and co-performer Jess Mabel-Jones. "My tics have named her Chopin, for some reason, so that forms part of the show, as does a section that developed when we were at the workshop stage and I try to explain what Tourette's feels like to a dolphin… in language he could understand."
It sounds pretty madcap, and after just one hour in Jess's company I can vouch for her comic timing: "I don't need to worry about any awkward silences on stage – my tics will fill any gap with something funny, random and probably irrelevant. The only heckler I'm concerned about is myself – I mean, really, who could say anything worse to me?"
Jess also has what Simon Cowell calls the likeability factor, something every aspiring performer seeks but only a few are born with. True, her conversation is peppered with words such as "biscuit", "squirrel" and the occasional "f---", but after a while you stop noticing and focus instead on her eloquence and uplifting, sensible message.
"I used to find it very difficult to talk or think about my tics without crying or getting upset. But in 2010, encouraged by a friend, I started a blog called Touretteshero and wrote a book about my experiences. Allowing myself that space to think about how Tourette's has had a positive impact – by causing laughter or opening up a conversation with someone, for example – has given me a better understanding of the condition, and of myself. I noticed the good things about having Tourette's – the funny incidents and the kindness of strangers – and I'm glad I did. That has had a far greater impact than any other intervention."
Jess's verbal and physical tics are constant, but she found that the anti-psychosis medications typically administered to Tourette's patients did little to help. They also came with side effects such as permanent tiredness. Instead, she takes Baclofen, a muscle relaxant often given to cerebral palsy sufferers. She also takes practical steps such as wearing knee pads and padded gloves to prevent injuries when she falls or bangs her chest; at night, she sleeps under a weighted blanket that stops her moving about, so that she can sleep.
Today, nothing seems to faze Jess. Two years ago, she started using the wheelchair because walking had become unsafe, and she says that, far from being restrictive, it has liberated her, allowing her more freedom to get around.
"I probably should have mentioned that sometimes my tics intensify to such a degree that I completely lose control of my body and speech," she tells me. "It's like a seizure and requires similar management, in that I must either put on a safety belt in my chair, or be put into the recovery position to stop me hurting myself."
And with one final flourish of her comic timing, she deadpans: "But don't worry, I've already had one of those today."
