Most people understand the basics of inflation. It's the increase in the cost of goods and services over time. Historically, the United States has experienced an inflation rate of around 3-4% annually. But what does that look like in real dollar terms? To answer that, CNN recently came up with a calculator that compares the value of a dollar going all the way back to 1914 through 2012. Check it out here.
Here are a couple of calculations to peak your interest:
- A quick internet search reveals that the average cost of a home in 1950 was $8,450.
- In 2012 dollars that would be $81,531.
- A gallon of gas in 1980 was $1.25.
- In 2012 dollars that would be $3.53, just about on target.

With college tuition continuing to be at all-time highs it can be difficult to bridge the gap between what grants, scholarships and government-backed loans covers and the true cost of a higher education. From books, to supplies, to general living expenses, students and parents are finding it difficult to keep up with their college bills each semester. Thankfully, credit unions across the country are stepping up in a big way to help. A recent Wall Street Journal article highlighted this effort which you can check out here.
A couple of key points the article highlights are that credit unions are not competing with the government backed loans. Here at Greater TEXAS, we always instruct students to maximize all their federally-backed grant, scholarship and lending options before coming to us. We want to supplement and complement those funding sources rather than replace them. Also, credit unions are stepping into the student lending market at a time when the big banks have all but pulled out completely. This just goes to show that credit unions once again are willing to step up when other lenders can't or aren't willing to. Check out our Higher Education Loan option.

Since 1934 credit unions have been deemed by Congress as a vehicle for the public good. Because of the work credit unions across the country do to serve their communities, they have been exempt from federal income taxes. But now with the current budget crunch, that exemption is being called into question. Check out this recent video from the folks at donttaxmycu.org to learn more about the positive impact credit unions make every day on their members, and what you can do to help Greater TEXAS FCU. Also, be sure to like us on Facebook to keep up with this important issue.

In honor of Mother's Day during the month of May, we bring you mom's best financial lessons.
Ahh mom, that wise woman we rarely listened to as a kid, but as soon as we grew up, we realized was an utter genius. She was always giving us nuggets of financial gold, if we had only been paying attention.
For example, a classic mom saying is "if all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?". What she meant was, following the path that everyone else follows isn't necessarily the best for you. This applies to our financial lives as well. Often we look around us and find people who have all the latest and greatest gadgets, live in the biggest house on the block, drive the fanciest cars and always seem to be on their dream vacation. It's easy to get caught up in other people's financial lifestyles and try to emulate that.
For most of us though, that keeping up with the Jones' lifestyle requires an unhealthy dependence on debt. This is something mom most certainly would caution against. Following mom's advice, credit unions were founded to encourage thrift (savings) and responsible debt management. We continue that philosophy today through our financial education efforts, a common sense approach to lending money, and a continued focus on helping people save.
If you've found yourself overwhelmed with debt, have questions about how to save more, or just want to learn more about common sense finance, check out some of the resources below or stop by a branch to learn more.

In honor of Mother's Day during the month of May, we bring you mom's best financial lessons.
Ahh mom, that wise woman we rarely listened to as a kid, but as soon as we grew up, we realized was an utter genius. She was always giving us nuggets of financial gold, if we had only been paying attention.
For example, a classic mom saying is "a penny saved is a penny earned". What she meant was, by saving money now, you won't have to constantly keep earning more later in life. Of course mom was right, but in our pell-mell, go-a-million-miles-an-hour society, saving is harder than ever. Below you'll find a common sense approach to saving consistently, just like mom would want you to.
- Prioritize Your Savings. – To save consistently over the long haul, you have to get radical in your approach. What does radical mean, you might be asking? Good question. It means to change your mind set about the order in which you distribute your money. By making savings your first priority, you will slowly but surely transform your psyche to the point where savings is second nature. Also, savings can and most often starts small. Don't feel ashamed to start with $50 or less a month. Many a millionaire started with small amounts saved at first. Whatever amount your budget can afford, start somewhere and stick with it.
- Automate Your Savings. – Research shows that creating an automatic mechanism to save money, gives you a much higher chance of sticking to a plan than just winging it. The best way to do this is to send funds straight into a savings account from your paycheck via direct deposit. If you can't split your direct deposit, create an automatic transfer on the days you get paid and then simply treat that transferred amount like a regular monthly bill.
- Save Your Savings. – Finally, we come to the crux of what mom was trying to say all along. Don't be tempted to spend the money you've saved on just anything. More than anything else, an ample savings account is a psychological safety net. It's the physical embodiment of financial peace of mind. So once that money is in savings hold onto it.

In honor of Mother's Day during the month of May, we bring you mom's best financial lessons.
Ahh mom, that wise woman we rarely listened to as a kid, but as soon as we grew up, we realized was an utter genius. She was always giving us nuggets of financial gold, if we had only been paying attention.
For example, a classic mom saying is "eat your vegetables". While mom meant carrots, brussel sprouts and broccoli (yuck!!!), there are plenty of financial correlations to this saying. When it comes to personal finance, vegetables represent the financial activities we know we should do but absolutely hate. Here's a couple, with some food for thought.
- Budgeting – the brussel sprouts of finance. – Nobody wants to create let alone stick to a budget. But deep down we all know it's good for us. A little sacrifice now, let's you eat that delicious cake (vacation, dream car, etc.) later. Just remember to cut budgeting into bite sized pieces so you don't get overwhelmed.
- Eating carrots can give you better (in)sight. – Research shows that carrots contain Vitamin A which helps maintain good vision. Similarly, regularly reviewing your retirement plan can give you confidence as you peer into your long term future. Sitting down at least every quarter, whether with an advisor or by yourself, is like eating a whole bunch of carrots.
- Actually eat your vegetables. – One of the fastest rising costs is in the area of healthcare. While there are all sorts of reasons this is the case, the best way to mitigate those rising costs is to maintain good health. Consistently eating more vegetables can go a long way towards achieving health related success and reducing the strain on your checkbook.

For example, a classic mom saying is waste not, want not. This has never been more appropriate given our hectic lives. It's easy to overlook waste because we're rushing to and fro. But every once in a while it's a good idea to take stock of your resources and make sure you're getting the most out of what you have.
With that in mind, Lifehacker recently ran an article on 10 such wasteful areas. Here's a sampling.
1. What's that smell? – Food waste can cost you big time if left unchecked. According to an NPR report put out in 2012, Americans waste over $165 billion worth of food each year. No matter how you slice it, that's a lot of money wasted that could be easily prevented. Check out this guide to reduce your food waste quickly and easily.
2. Coupins, Coupins, Coupins. – Whether you get them in the mail or find them on the internet, using coupons can save you big time over the long run. We're not even talking about extreme couponing here, just your run of the mill, easily found coupons. Bottom line, if you're not using coupons you're leaving money on the table.
3. Ask and ye shall receive. – One of the biggest areas consumers tend to waste money on are things like, cable, internet and cell phone service. What relatively few consumers take advantage of though, is asking for a better deal. Scheduling a couple of times a year to call up your service providers to make sure you have the best "package" or are getting all the discounts you're owed, can save you tons of money. The key is you have to pick up the phone and ask.

A recent CNN Money article highlighted a Federal Reserve study showing American homeowner's saw an 18% increase in their home's equity from 3rd quarter 2011 to 3rd quarter 2012. This comes after many years of stagnant housing prices following the collapse in 2006. With this new found value, homeowners will have more options to keep more money in their pocket and invest that money wisely. Here are some things to keep in mind now that home values are on the rise.
Refinance – If you haven't already done so, now is a great time to refinance your mortgage or home equity loan. With interest rates remaining at historic lows, coupled with rising home values, many homeowners will now be able to refinance their existing loans or take out a new home equity loan.
Upgrade your home – Had an itch to do some upgrades? Whether you're a do-it- yourself type or looking to hire a contractor, upgrading your home is a great way to use built up equity. Interestingly, the National Association of Home Builders cites the bathroom as most homeowner's top renovation project. Also, don't forget about the energy efficiency tax credit, worth up to $500.
Pay for college – While every family would prefer to have enough in savings to pay for college, the reality is that financing college tuition is far more common. Using your home's equity is one of the lowest cost options, if not the lowest, to pay for college.

In honor of another Tax Day come and gone, here's a short list of some of the craziest tax deductions the IRS says are a-okay with them. While plenty of taxpayers try to sneak some extreme deduction claims by the IRS, these might surprise you because they are perfectly legal. See this Fox Business News article for the complete list.
- Pet food - Cat food was allowed as a tax deduction after the felines helped to clean up a junkyard by eliminating snakes and rats, which in turn made the place of business safer. As a result, the IRS lawyers allowed the cost of cat food to be deducted for that family.
- Body oil - The tax court also ruled that a professional bodybuilder could deduct the costs of the body oil he used in competitions to make his muscles glisten, but deductions for buffalo meat and special vitamin supplements were denied.
- Landscaping costs - Business owners who operate out of a home office are allowed to deduct a portion of the costs for landscaping and some home repairs, including driveway repairs, according to TurboTax.

For anyone who has ever bought a house you know there are two constants in the home buying process — it's expensive and there's always a surprise or two, or three. Here's a small sample of things you should know before making the home-buying leap.
- Appraisal vs. Inspection. – Many first time home buyers are aware their lender requires an appraisal to be done prior to closing the deal. What many don't realize, however, is how cursory these appraisals can be. Typically, appraisals will only provide information on the value of the home and are primarily intended for use by the lender in determining whether a loan can be granted. Borrowers (especially first-timers) should order an inspection by an independent company. This inspection should look at things like: the foundation, a/c and heater, roof, flooring issues, water damage to interior walls, etc.
- Extra Payment(s) or 15 Year Term. – Home buyers are often advised to make an extra payment at least once a year to reduce the number of years on a typical 30 year mortgage. This advice is sound, but with interest rates at all time lows, it's also worth taking a look at a reduced term to begin with. Most lenders offer 10, 15, and even 20 year terms often with much lower rates than the traditional 30 year offering. It's worthwhile to run the numbers both ways to see if you can afford a slightly higher payment each month, but at the same time shaving off years from your loan.
- PMI won't remove itself. – Private Mortgage Insurance is a reality for many first time home buyers. Unless you are putting at least a 20% down payment on the loan, your lender will require an insurance policy to help protect against non-payment. This insurance only protects the lender and can add up to a significant amount of money over time. Many borrowers, however, don't realize they are responsible for requesting this insurance be removed once the value of the home has risen sufficiently or they have paid down the loan to at least 80%.
For more information on the home-buying process we have a webinar coming up this Thursday, from 9:00 - 10:30a, put on by Cornerstone Financial Education. Click here for more details and to sign up.

"Ideal job while going to school "
I worked at Panda Express full-time (more than a year)

I worked at Panda Express full-time (more than a year)
ProsGood salary & benefits. Company invests in your personal development as well (have a learning benefit fund, landmark classes, etc.). Free food.
ConsNo Work/Life Balance. Labor structure of company is very minimal, as a GM, you do just as much work as the front of the house/back of the house, as the company expects you to run a store of $20000+ weekly sales with just 4 people including the manager, which means all of your staff has to multi-task from taking orders, cooking the food, washing the dishes, cleaning the lobby/restrooms, etc.
The company is more about keeping its store in brand new conditions, meaning spotless cleaning from top-to-bottom. While having a clean restaurant is a nice idea, and all restaurants should strive to have a clean restaurant, it's a little extreme as far as the level of detail that the company expects its managers to keep the store at whenever a higher up executive visits you.
Very high turnover rate as far as managers as well, which tells you something about the nature of the job for a GM.Advice to ManagementAdviceNothing negative to say about the organization or the people in it. It is a well-run company with great people and leaders. While there are many things to dislike, and there is high turnover, the company is doing great and is growing. All the best as the Panda Express brand grows.

That was my first guess, but I am not a fish guy so I was leaning on others comments. I will pull my ID and let some others comment. Please make your vote count if you feel that is what it is.
Well honestly it is hard to say I lean towards pumpkinseed on it's coloration, but to key them out you need to look at their fins.
The vertical bars are pretty prominent and I'm not seeing much in the way of blue lines across the cheek that would be typical of Lepomis gibbosus. I'm also not seeing any indication of an orange spot on the opercular flap, although this can sometimes be slight. They do also hybridize pretty readily. It looks more like a nicely colored adult Bluegill to me, albeit I can see some characteristics of a pumpkinseed.
I passed the photo on to a fisheries colleague who agrees there seems to be clear indication of pumpkinseed in it despite the seeming lack of an opercular spot. Without having the fish in hand, the best guess is hybrid or weakly colored pumpkinseed. Good catch, greenrosettas.
Good stuff, you know I actually miss catching these fish. I used to be annoyed to no end when I reeled in these little guys because they would be stealing my bait. Since moving to California from Maine, I never get out and fish anymore. I really ought to invest in a pole again and dip my line.
I lean toward Lepomis megalotis, the longear sunfish. It lacks the pumpkinseed markings I'd look for and the earspot is englongated which rules out many other Lepomis spp. That said, I'd have to check the gill rakers and meristic counts to be certain. Or have a less blurry picture.

Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Comparing Types of Colleges: The Pros and Cons of Technical Schools
December 6th, 2011 by rebeccacIf you just can't see how taking a gym class or spending your time learning to paint is relevant to your future career, you may be happiest attending a technical school or college. They are career-focused, which means that every course you take is associated with the career that you want to train for. With programs that are generally shorter and more flexible than four-year degrees, technical schools are usually geared toward trades like welding, culinary arts, plumbing, veterinary technician, etc.
Advantages of a Technical School Education
As compared to typical bachelor degrees, a certificate or diploma from a technical college can be earned in far less time. Typically, technical college programs are nine months to two years in length. Since you only take courses that are relevant to your chosen career, the cost of your education can sometimes than it would be attending a four-year liberal arts college. The career training that you receive in a technical college tends to be very hands-on, often taking place in a setting very similar to what you would see in the workplace. That means that if you are training to be an auto mechanic, you can get under the hood of a real car to see what makes its engine run.
The class sizes of technical schools tend to be smaller than typical liberal arts colleges, meaning the instructor has greater availability if you need personalized attention. The days and times that technical colleges offer courses tends to be more flexible than a traditional college, mainly because more non-traditional students attend trade schools. These students are typically already working and may also have children to raise. They need greater flexibility in order to make attending school even possible.
Disadvantages of a Technical School Education
If you graduate and find there isn't a lot of demand in your chosen field, you don't have as many other skills to fall back on as you would with a broader education. Another possible drawback is that you may not be able to receive as large of a financial aid package as traditional college students. However, as someone who is most likely already working, you may be able to take advantage of a tuition reimbursement program from your employer. With the possibility of having your continuing education paid for, it's certainly worth a trip to your human resources department to find out more information.
What do employers want?
Employers, like the rest of human nature, can be fickle people. Some think that a four-year degree shows a sense of commitment, while others prefer to hire someone with strong training in the field and aren't as concerned about what else they know. Even before you decide on a school, you have a homework assignment. You need to research your chosen field to find out the minimum level of education required as well as the type and duration of education preferred by a majority of employers. You should also look at a long-range job forecast before committing to a specific field.

Walmart Helps To Conserve Open Spaces In Seven States
BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Walmart's Acres for America program, a conservation partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), is protecting priority lands across the country to provide wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities for local residents. Newly-announced projects in Arkansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maine and Oregon are part of an ongoing program to conserve the nation's most precious lands and natural resources to benefit people, wildlife and local economies.
Since 2005, Walmart has worked with NFWF to establish Acres for America, a 10-year, $35 million commitment to purchase and preserve one acre of wildlife habitat in the U.S. for every acre of land developed by the company. The program has protected critical habitats for birds, fish, plants and wildlife and far surpassed its original goals, becoming one of the country's most effective conservation partnerships. To date, Acres for America has invested in projects in 30 states and the District of Columbia.
The new sites bring the total acres protected through the program to more than 800,000.
"These new Acres for America projects build on the conservation successes of our continued partnership with Walmart," said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. "From the Ozarks to Oregon, they protect the open spaces that wildlife need and provide abundant economic and recreational resources for residents." "Walmart is proud to work with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation thru the Acres for America program," said Jennifer May-Brust, vice president and general counsel of real estate at Walmart. "Supporting the projects brought to life thru the Acres program reflects our value and commitment to helping our customers live better."

2003 Mercury Marauder 34k Miles For Sale by Davis AutoSports 2003 Mercury Marauder 34k Miles For Sale by Davis AutoSports
SOLD 1950 Mercury Coupe Hot Rod for sale by Corvette Mike Anaheim California 92807 1950 Mercury Custom Coupe Candy Apple Red w/White interior. If you get a bunch of gearheads in a room together and they get to talking about what the ultimate hot rod is, inevitably there will be three constants on the list; the '32 Ford Hi Boy Roadster, the '32 Ford 3 window coupe and the subject of this ad; the iconic '50 Merc coupe. The quintessential lead sled; the Merc defined the full bodied hot rod in the '50's. Its flowing lines were a vast canvas on which customizers could practice what was a fairly new art form back in the late '40's, early 50's. Chopped, channeled, frenched and decked. That's what you did if you wanted your Merc to stand out in a crowd! And the sled being offered here does that in spades! Designed to emulate customs made famous by legends like Sam and George Barris, Gene Winfield and many others, this rolling piece of art has all of the elements mentioned above, in addition to being wrapped in stunning Candy Apple Red paint, white tuck and roll interior with a multi-carb'd Flathead under the hood! Held in a vast private collection consisting of only the finest custom automobiles, the work was done by Steve's Auto Restorations using elements of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac, Olds & Kaiser. The hardtop body has no "B" pillar, the headlights have been "Frenched", hood corners have been rounded and of course it wouldn't be a '50's custom without Appleton spots! The interior features white "Tuck and Roll", laminated plastic knobs and a '57 Olds steering wheel, power steering, a hidden audio system and solenoid operated doors, windows and trunk The business end features a full dress Motorhead City 1950 Flathead engine featuring an Offenhauser intake and heads and three Stromberg '97 carbs. House of Color supplied the Candy Apple over Gold exterior and "Von Dutch" style pinstriping. Wides whites with full Cadillac wheel covers completes the deal! It's an investment grade custom that spells upside in it's fortunate new owners future. It was good enough for James Dean! Stk #N/A

VIN 9H16R594881 This car started out its life in Arkansas, more specifically at Twin Lakes Motors Inc., in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

The project was finished in 2011 and has roughly 2,500 miles on it. The previous owner sold the car to us due to an illness that left him unable to use his right arm, which makes it impossible to drive a manual. He was very sad to see it go.

If you've ever imagined having your very own home spa with a touch of the far east, Joanna designed one centered around her passion for culture, travel, and all that is organic. And don't miss her blog about living the organic lifestyle, it's a new favorite of mine.
Name: Joanna Dyckhoff (pronounced ?dai-koff?)
Occupation: Designer (organic lifestyle products/services)
Blog: lotushaus.typepad.com
Location: Seattle, WA
Theme: Organic Bliss
Inspiration: My mood board is inspired by the organic spa experience, influenced by the ancient traditions of Asia and India. I love sustainable design, global culture and the spa experience, so I put them together to express a wonderfully vibrant and uplifting mood that I would like to see in my own meditation/lounge room! Another inspiration is the Chopra Center in NY where I was able to experience an amazing & rejuvenating Ayurvedic experience.
Design Notes: The golden brocade pouch is from World Market and a similar wooden hand can be found at INE Imports.
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Joanna!

I'm so glad that Alison designed a midwest-inspired mood board because this is where Amy Butler lives and takes inspiration from for her collection. I like seeing the crisp navy, nice accent.
Name: Alison Coffey
Occupation: Mental Health Counselor
Blog: www.thehumblelife.com
Theme: Midwestern Summer Cottage
Inspiration: The Midwest! And blueberry pavlova, strawberry shortcake, yellow summer flowers, warm breezes, cool breezes, and laid back, casual living. Oh, and just about anything from that awesome company Maine Cottage. I'm a Midwestern girl, but I live in Texas. Oh how I miss the Midwest summers!
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Alison!

If spending time at the shore is your favorite way to relax, then you'll really enjoy the color palette and Julia Rothman-inspired seaside modern room that Flavia pulled together. Natural wood combined with white lacquered furniture is such a pretty combination. And these colors – so serene!
Name: Flavia Leite
Occupation: Public Relations Manager
State/Country: Virginia, USA
Theme: Beachy Modern
Inspiration: I wanted to create a room dedicated to working on creative projects. I started with the blue, one of my favorite colors, and was going on a different direction until I saw the pink flamingo pattern by Julia Rothman. It inspired me to make the room brighter and more beach-y. Thanks for holding such a fun contest!
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Flavia! I'll post as many entries as I can fit in today, and then that's it, the contest will wrap up and tomorrow we'll all get to vote for our new winners. Yeah!
(images by flavia leite)
This contest gives us plenty of design inspiration, agree? I'm sure that your brain is buzzing — thinking of a hundred new things to do to your home this weekend, am I right? I have about 10 more entries to post, so voting may have to wait until Monday because in addition to the entries waiting for me in my inbox, I discovered over 30 additional ones in my spam folder that I had to sort through tonight (thanks yahoo mail for that). Treasured Haven by Erica is one of them that nearly didn't make it in. (I'm so glad I found you, Erica!)
Name: Erica Midkiff
Occupation: Assistant Financial Representative
Blog: http://suchsweetdaydreams.blogspot.com
State/Country: Massachusetts/USA
Theme: Treasured Haven
What inspired your board?: I imagine this room being all my own, containing only the things that I love the most. The time here would be entirely unscripted and unedited; just me and my thoughts. Any additional comments you'd like to include: I am always drawn to images of airy, open, sparse rooms, but my true style reflects a love for things, especially those that have some meaning or remind me of some part of my life. The photos on this mood board are from catalogs and magazines, but my own home reflects the same mix of styles, slightly muted and earthy palette, and a penchant for vignettes. Each image on this board represents a moment, a feeling, that inspires me. There is order here, but there is also freedom.
Thank you for entering the decor8/Amy Butler mood board contest, Erica! I'll post as many entries as I can fit in today, and then that's it, the contest will wrap up and tomorrow we'll all get to vote for our new winners. Yeah!

On the HS-65HB: to use that servo for sweep you have to concentrate to make the wing sweep movement very, very smooth. Talcum powder, teflon paper, the works. I'd use a stronger servo, do read the thread and see the many tricks people have tried. Some have had luck with the HS-85MG. I personally went overboard and stuck something full size in there after my first servo burned out in flight. "No carbon support": I wouldn't, but I don't know the characteristics of $T foam. There is very minimal CF reinforcement in the MDC F-14 and I suspect all of them serve an important purpose. |

Getting troubled with all the Carbon tubes, there are so many! Can someone help me and find a carbon tube/reinforcement that will work with 5mm $T foam board? I don't have many fancy tools at my disposal (which is why I try to avoid Carbon Tubes)

And try to do it outdoors if at all possible and wear eye protection and nose filters / gas-masks chewy |
Sep 26, 2012, 05:55 AM | |
Thanks chewy for the tips. I actually recall trying to do some research on this but doing this kind of research on the internet with me not being a doctor involves wading through a minefield of FUD. In the end I stuck with eye protection (for shards, not for dust so they're not goggles), and wet-sanding.
I guess it couldn't hurt to buy a pack of disposable masks too, and do the sanding outdoors instead of indoors. My takeaway on all that research was that life is bad for you and an overdose of life will surely kill you. |

I went with a 3kg full size servo for sweep at any speed. It sticks out the bottom of the center tunnel a little and may add a little weight but the plane is so fast anyway that I usually fly at half to three quarters thottle so proformance isn't affected at all for me. At least I don't have to worry if the wings will swing forward when I need them to. Robert

Football: Bale rocket saves Spurs' blushes
LONDON (REUTERS) - Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale showed absent strikers how it was done by blasting in a 67th-minute winner in a 1-0 Premier League success at 10-man West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
The victory for fourth-placed Spurs, which came despite their only available forward Jermain Defoe limping off in the first half, put them a point behind Chelsea in third after Rafael Benitez's side lost 3-2 at Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Londoners were helped by West Brom's Macedonia defender Goran Popov being sent off after 48 minutes for spitting at Kyle Walker but Spurs deserved the win because of Welshman Bale's continued heroics.
The 23-year-old's 13th goal in all competitions this term, following another cracker in the 1-1 draw with Norwich City in midweek, summed up all his attributes as he evaded a challenge on the edge of the box and let fly with a swerving strike.

1:11 a drought. The drought on Judah's crops was God's curse on their agriculture, in keeping with His covenant (1:6 note; Deut. 7:13). The Hebrew word translated "ruins" in v. 9 sounds like the Hebrew word for "drought" here. Haggai's play on words reinforces the point that the drought was God's response to their neglect of His house.

Plans for a new Kansas City Chiefs football stadium and Kansas City Athletics baseball stadium were drawn in 1967 after fans approved bonds for the project. But prior to the 1968 season, A's owner Charles Finley moved the team to Oakland. After the move, Missouri Senator Stuart Symington pressured baseball for an expansion team in Kansas City. Baseball obliged, granting Kansas City a new franchise in 1969. The newly named Royals played in old Municipal Stadium until brand new Royals Stadium opened in 1973. It was renamed Kauffman Stadium in 1993.

Drury Inn & Suites Stadium - Kansas City
3830 Blue Ridge Cutoff, Kansas City, MO, 64133Phone no: (816) 923-3000
Did you know that with 200 fountains, Kansas City is second (in number of fountains) only to Rome? That's right, gang— Rome as in Rome, Italy. Yeah, that's pretty cool, and, yes, it's true. But fountains aside, K.C. is a pretty unbelievable place. Here's another world feat— K.C. is the barbecue Capital of the World, and not a secondary capitol behind Rome in this instance. So as you venture into a city full of livelihood and innovation let the Drury Inn & Suites Kansas City Stadium help you enjoy all that the city has to offer
Arthur Bryant's Barbeque
1727 Brooklyn Ave, Kansas City, MO, 64127Phone no: (816) 231-1123
This BBQ legend was founded in the early 1920's, by Charlie Bryant, Arthur's older brother. When Charlie died, Arthur took over and moved the BBQ restaurant to 18th and Brooklyn, just four blocks away from Municipal stadium, the home of the Kansas City Blues, followed by the Kansas City Athletics. Municipal Stadium was also the first home of the Kansas City Chiefs. With the move near to the ball park, it became a nationally known eatery. Major league players ate there and fans would stop in before the games to eat on the premises or take out to the ball park. The fame of Arthur Bryant's grew. Then renowned author Calvin Trillin declared in Playboy magazine that "...the single best restaurant in the world is Arthur Bryant's Barbeque at 18th & Brooklyn in Kansas City."
The Farmhouse
300 Delaware St, Kansas City, MO, 64105Phone no: (816) 569-6032
You know how, after you've had a really long day, all you can think about is a nice comforting dinner? Maybe it's something you grew up eating, something fresh and soul-soothing, something that takes you back to the sheer joy of tasting and allows all other thoughts on your mind to simply drift away. Now…couple the bliss of satisfaction in sustenance with the responsibility of supporting your local farmer and reducing the demand on the earth in food transportation and you'll understand the reasoning behind The Farmhouse.
Savoy Grill
219 W 9th St, Kansas City, MO, 64105Phone no: (816) 842-3890
Located in the heart of Kansas City's downtown convention and business district, Hotel Savoy offers more than just a room. We also offer an elegant dinner at the Savoy Grill. With gracious dining since 1903, the Savoy Grill offers a wide variety of choices for a wonderful meal, from live Maine Lobster to delicious steaks. The Hotel Savoy & Savoy Grill -- a truly memorable experience for your next business trip, special getaway, meeting or catered affairs.

He worked in Washington, DC while awaiting his entry date and, on September 11, 2001, could see and smell smoke that he later learned was the Pentagon catastrophe only two miles away.

A WWII hero coping with loneliness after the death of his wife of 64 years was chosen, and ultimately won over, by a very special, special needs cat.No guts, no gloryIt was 1944 and Roy headed off to school like he did every day. Little did he know this would be no ordinary day, one that would shape the rest of his life.

Elderly Army veteran beats the blues with shelter dog
An Army combat veteran of the Korean War and self-described "last man standing" fought back loneliness with a shelter dog named Tiger. Gerald has distinct memories of Korea, where he served with the 82nd Anti Aircraft Artillery (82nd AAA) based out of the 38th parallel. A lot of life transpired between his time in the Army and where he is today – 81, divorced and largely alone – but life changed radically and for the better when he adopted a companion pet. "He made up for company I have now compared to being all alone. I've got him and he's got me," he says. "He's not human and sometimes … [Read more...]
Dog on heavenly mission a final faithful friend to Vietnam combat veteran
Mark Twain once said that if heaven was a reward to be earned, "you would stay out and your dog would go in." Clearly the iconic author never met Gary, a combat veteran of Vietnam who believed his recently adopted shelter dog was heaven sent. We have no doubt that Gary's life and extraordinary service earned him a heavenly perch as well. Gary died suddenly on June 22, 2014, just days after being interviewed for this story. At the request of his wife, Mary, and in keeping with Gary's wishes, we are sharing his tale. Joining the fight It was 1964 and Gary had just graduated high school. He … [Read more...]

From his more than 20-year career he has his share of memories – some good, some bad – including a fond recollection of the Koreans who lived near where he was stationed.

text: Keri Russell snacked on a piece of chocolate as she left a Fairway grocery store in Brooklyn yesterday. The former star of the now-canceled Running Wilde has been hanging out in NYC for the past few months with her husband, Shane, and their now 3-year-old son, River. She had a solo night out earlier this year when she brought a young pal to the Big Apple premiere of Harry Potter — it turns out she and one of the stars of the series, Emma Watson, have something in common professionally. Keri just celebrated a big milestone with her 35th birthday last week on the 23rd, and she has a new role to toast as well — she's currently filming Goats alongside David Duchovny and Vera Farmiga.

GeForce GTX 650 Ti review -
DX11: Sniper Elite V2
DX11: Sniper Elite V2
Sniper Elite V2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the highly-acclaimed Sniper Elite, giving gamers the most authentic World War II sniping experience available. Sniper Elite V2 is a third-person shooter that stresses employing stealth, rather than using brute force. Fairburne uses several WWII-era weapons, including sniper rifles, a silenced Welrod pistol, sub-machine guns and German and Soviet hand grenades (which can be also used to make tripwire booby traps).
One of the main features of the title is the realistic ballistics, involving factors such as bullet drop, wind strength, and the effect of holding one's breath when attempting a shot. Sniping gameplay is from a first person scope view, whereas movement and use of all other weapons is in third person view.
Sniper Elite V2 is a new DX11 addition to the benchmark suite. We'll only test at 1920x1200, but apply a very high level of image quality. Overall our settings require 1300 MB of graphics memory, here are other settings used:
- Feature Level: DX11.0
- Texture Detail: ULTRA
- Shadows Detail: ULTRA
- Draw Distance: ULTRA
- Anti-aliasing: HIGH
- Advanced Shadows: HIGH
- Supersampling: 2.25x
- Anisotropic Level: 16
- Compute Shaders: ON
- Ambient Occlusion: ON
- Motion Blur: ON
Sniper Elite V2 is part of AMD's Gaming Evolved program which is an equivalent to the The Way It's Meant to be Played program from NVIDIA. As such, AMD cards do really well in this title.
The Ultra settings used really cripple game performance, but gives us the image quality you may expect from a PC game. Well, at least you know where this card positions itself :)

Dan Melchior

The prolific and eclectic Dan Melchior first made a name for himself on the same Medway music scene that produced Billy Childish and Holly Golightly (and collaborated with both), but he's since gone on to carve out a more unique identity with his own take on lo-fi pop. Melchior was born in the English town of Chertsey, not far from Shepperton in Surrey, in 1972, and he began teaching himself to play guitar when he was 17. After making his way through a few unmemorable teenage groups, Melchior formed the Loaded Souls in 1995; while they proved to be short-lived, one promoter who saw them was impressed enough to suggest that the band send a tape to Billy Childish, who was releasing material through his Hangman Records label. Childish liked Melchior's rough but emphatic blues guitar stylings and evocative songwriting, and he referred Melchior to chanteuse Holly Golightly. Melchior played guitar on Golightly's 1997 album Painted On (produced by Childish) and wrote a song for the set; Melchior went on to record a handful of albums, singles, and EPs with Golightly over the next several years, as well as playing in her road band. Melchior also recorded a duo album with Childish, Devil in the Flesh, in 1998.
In 1998, Melchior released his first solo single, "Wrong Inside" b/w "Crow Jane," and in 1999, he formed the first edition of his band Dan Melchior's Broke Revue, issuing the album This Love Is Real. In 1999, Melchior met Letha Rodman, an artist and musician from the United States; they fell in love, and in 2000 Melchior relocated to New York City to be with her. Once settled in New York, Melchior assembled a new version of the Broke Revue (including Rodman) and recorded and toured extensively over the next several years, releasing a handful of albums through In the Red Records and Sympathy for the Record Industry. Melchior began moving away from the blues-influenced garage sound that defined his early work, an evolution he hinted at in the title of his 2002 solo album This Is Not the Medway Sound, and in 2004 he folded the Broke Revue to focus on lo-fi material with a strong pop and psychedelic influence that also highlighted his witty and thoughtful songwriting. Melchior reintroduced himself with the 2006 album Hi, I'm Dan Melchior, and began working in a band format again with his ensemble Das Menace. In 2007, Melchior and Rodman relocated to Durham, North Carolina, and in 2011 he told reporter Mark Kemp "I didn't know that much about [the North Carolina music scene] before I moved, but luckily I couldn't have made a better choice." Melchior has continued to write and record steadily in North Carolina, releasing material through a variety of independent labels.
