HENNEPIN AVENUE — Early this year, Everwood Development Group signed a letter of intent to purchase the historic former bank at 730 Hennepin Ave.
Since that time, the developer has been working with the city, getting documents in order and preparing to close on the property. Closing is scheduled for June, and Everwood hopes to immediately start converting the upper floors to the City Place Lofts, affordable housing units in the heart of Downtown.
For the building's sole current occupant, the building's sale is a welcome dose of good news.
Occupying the basement and first three floors of the building, the International Education Center is a nonprofit adult education center for mostly immigrant non-native English speakers. The IEC operates on a tight budget, but has nevertheless been responsible for paying for the building's security, utilities and maintenance. And with delayed payments to schools from the state, times have been tough.
The sale of the building had the potential to save the school or damage it severely, said IEC's Executive Director David Gaither. If the new owner wanted the school to move, it could have major consequences.
"We have students who come to us with little or no English," Gaither said. "A lot of them found us because of our location. It's a big part of our identity and brand. Changing that by even two blocks could mean a significant drop in our attendance."
Fortunately, Everwood wanted the school to stay. Not only would sharing the building with an adult education center make City Place Lofts one of the most unique developments Downtown, it also fit neatly with the goal of creating affordable housing units. "There isn't a lot of quality workforce housing Downtown," said Everwood's Elizabeth Flannery. "And everyone agrees there's a need for it. Once we figured out the logistics of sharing with the school, it seemed like a perfect match."
Construction will begin on City Place Lofts right after closing, with Everwood assuming responsibilities for the building's regular upkeep and safety. That will free up the school's staff and resources to focus on its students. "It was not the best use of resources," said Gaither. "Without Everwood, we might not be here much longer."
Once the six to nine months of construction is completed, the building at 730 Hennepin will offer up the unique combination of free adult education and affordable housing in the heart of Downtown.
While Gaither would love for some students to become tenants of the building, he's mostly just happy that the redevelopment deal is relieving some of the pressures on the International Education Center. "Our students are smart, earnest people who have a purpose, an objective," he said. "This place gives people roots, something to belong to. We're happy that we're going to be able to continue to be there for them and help them meet their goals."

City holds NE arts forum
The city of Minneapolis is making new investments in the arts, and Council Member Kevin Reich (1st Ward) hosted a roundtable meeting last month to discuss the arts economy in Northeast.
The meeting was the first in a series that will bring the city together with artists, educators, community development staffers and local business owners.
City Coordinator Steven Bosacker announced that the city is hiring a new Director of Arts, a high-level position with a whopping 175 applicants. Bosacker said the arts industry caught the city's attention in 2008 and 2009, when it was one of only three sectors that had a growing presence in the economy. The new director would start around June 1 and help leverage funding and troubleshoot on behalf of the arts community.
"This is something that has been missing for the last seven or eight years," Bosacker said. "Hopefully we can make a difference where we need to."
Another speaker at the meeting was Liz Murphy, a teacher at Edison High School. She said the school wants to bring in local artists to demonstrate that careers in the arts aren't synonymous with New York and Chicago. The school also wants to hang more of its artwork in local businesses.
City officials got an earful from building owners that rent out studios in Northeast. The owners said it has become increasingly difficult to work with the city. Modern Survey, a company that recently relocated to Northeast, ran into regulatory hurdles that nearly derailed the move. Other owners said they feel the city has become focused on enforcement, rather than education of entrepreneurs.
Jennifer Young, co-owner of the California building, said the difficulties aren't related to money — entrepreneurs can do a lot with very little money, she said.
"They need the freedom to do it," she said.
Roundtable participants also debated how to handle the anticipated gentrification of the neighborhood.
"What really scares me is my property taxes," said Nick Legeros, a sculptor and building owner. "It's only a matter of time before I'm gentrified out of my studio."
Ken Koense, a Minneapolis Arts Commissioner from New York, said taxes must inevitably rise as the neighborhood is improved — look at SoHo, he said.
Reich responded that Northeast still has a huge capacity with relatively depressed property values.
Tom Borrup, principal of Creative Community Builders, noted that the city has invested heavily in the Hennepin Theatre District, a spot where traveling theater companies benefit and then leave, as opposed to Northeast, where artists both work and live.
"Artists are often fighting the machine," Borrup said.
In response, Reich said he is looking for more collaboration.
"On behalf of the machine, that's why we're having this conversation," he said.

Mill City Farmers Market returns May 7
MILL DISTRICT — Between the Guthrie Theater and the Mill City Museum sits a stunning plaza that overlooks the Mississippi River. It's a beautiful place on any day, but becomes something truly special when the Mill City Farmers Market takes over.
"When I first saw this spot, I said, 'we've got to have a farmers market here,'" says founder Brenda Langton.
Now in its sixth year, the Mill City Farmers Market offers a smaller, more focused experience than the bustling Minneapolis Farmers Market. Unlike the 200-plus vendors of the larger market, the Mill City Farmers Market features around 70 vendors selected by the market's year-round staff to maximize the diversity of products available. Each vendor must fit within the market's stated mission to focus on local, sustainable and organic agriculture. According to Langton, the Mill City Farmers Market offers more organic and locally sourced food than any other farmers market in the area.
Langton knows a thing or two about the local food movement. As founder of Café Kardamena, Café Brenda and Spoonriver, she has been championing local food sources since 1978. Since then, she's seen the demand for responsible dining options grow and grow. "More and more people have an awareness of what it takes to produce our food," says Langton. "People come here to meet farmers and really learn about where our food is coming from."
Educating the public about the food they eat is one of Langton's major goals with the market. Along with visiting authors and sustainability teachers, the market features chefs from Spoonriver demonstrating how to cook with the ingredients available at the market. The market also features special events, visiting artisans and live music.
The Mill City Farmers Market runs every Saturday, 8 a.m.– 1 p.m., through mid-October.

Grab a piece of The Dome
ELLIOT PARK — The collapse of the Metrodome roof brought a halt to the facility's tour program, but only temporarily. Tours of the stadium resumed in April, and the first 2,000 visitors get to take home a piece of the collapsed roof.
Tours are available to the public on most Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays through November. The tours leave from Gate F at 11 a.m. and cost $4 per person. Reservations are not required, but can be made for groups of 15 people or more at $3 a person. Group tours are available Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., except on event days.

Wally The Beer Man won't return to Target Field
NORTH LOOP — After 40 years serving beer at Twins games, Major League Baseball's most famous beer vendor is moving on. Wally "The Beer Man" McNeil won't be vending at Target Field this season. Instead, he'll be working as the "celebrity beertender" at Sneaky Pete's before and after each Twins home game.
The 76-year-old McNeil was recently acquitted of selling beer to an underage customer as part of a police sting. He was suspended during the playoffs, but doesn't cite the incident as the reason for the career change.
"When it's 95 degrees out, I know it's air-conditioned," he told the Star Tribune. "No hard feelings. I'm just 76 years old. Maybe it's time to slow down?"

Troubled condo developments find new owners
In what is perhaps a sign of a changing economy, two condo developments with troubled pasts have found new owners. Point Capital Partners has purchased the 77 remaining units in the Sexton Lofts in Elliot Park, while two separate developers have purchased portions of Northeast's foreclosed Pillsbury A Mill complex.
Not too long ago, the Sexton Lofts were at the center of a mortgage-flipping scheme that landed aspiring developer Brett Thielen in jail. The project was then purchased by Andy Chase of Chase Real Estate, who butted heads with Elliot Park neighborhood groups over his decision to mix rental and owner-occupied units in the same complex, as well as his desire to build a surface lot for resident parking. The new owners of the Sexton plan to revert the building to the original plan of owner-occupied units.
On the East Bank, Bloomington-based Doran Cos. has purchased 3 of the 8 acres that comprise the Pillsbury A Mill complex. Doran plans to build a 375-unit upscale apartment complex, while Plymouth-based Dominium has separately purchased the rest of the complex, including the National Historical Landmark A Mill building. Dominium also plans to convert the site's structures to apartments, although the two developers stress that they are not working together on the projects.

Capella Tower earns LEED Gold certification
DOWNTOWN CORE — The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED green building program is the nation's foremost authority on environmentally responsible building, and one of Minneapolis' most recognizable skyscrapers has earned its second-highest rating. The Capella Tower has been awarded LEED Gold certification, thanks to improvements by the building's property managers Ryan Companies.
Most of the improvements won't be obvious to the casual observer, as they are focused on increased building efficiency. Ryan improved the building's cleaning products and processes and upgraded the lighting, water and mechanical systems. Amongst the benefits to the upgrades is a 14 percent reduction in water usage, a savings of 1.3 million gallons of water per year.
In honor of the building's LEED certification, the lighted crown atop the building will be changed from its familiar white to a glowing green.

Nicollet Mall closed for repairs
At 9 a.m. on April 11, Nicollet Mall closed for regular repairs such as repaving and curb replacement. The project is expected to last for four weeks, and during that time all bicycle and bus traffic will be detoured.
Here are details of the bus detours from Metro Transit:
Buses will travel on Hennepin Ave. between Washington Ave. and 11th/12th streets, using LaSalle and 11th/12th streets between Grant and Hennepin. Board northbound buses on Grant at LaSalle or at any stop on Hennepin.
Board southbound buses on Nicollet at Grant or at any stop on Hennepin.
Note: On the north end of their trips, Route 18 buses will travel on Washington to Marquette to 1st St. N. to Hennepin. They will not serve 3rd St.
The city recommends Marquette as an alternate route for cyclists.

Opponents of proposed NE hazardous waste facility lose appeal
HOLLAND — Opponents of a household hazardous waste facility on University Avenue were dealt a setback April 7, when the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment voted to deny their appeal.
The group Don't Dump on Northeast (DDONE) hired an attorney to help them contest whether the center is correctly labeled a "recycling" facility. The group asserts that the city needs different zoning requirements at the site more akin to waste transfer stations.
Marie Zellar of DDONE said she wasn't surprised by the decision, given that the board's focus is quite narrow.
"Half of our issues couldn't even be discussed," she said.
Matt Perry, chair of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, explained the board's jurisdiction.
"The decision before the Board was not to decide whether or not there should be a facility allowed at the property," he said in an email. "Instead, it was to decide whether or not the proposed use of the property was substantially similar to that of a Recycling Facility as defined by city ordinance."
The center would allow public drop-off of construction debris and waste like electronics, paint and aerosol cans.
The opponents can appeal the decision to the city's Zoning & Planning Committee in a May 19 hearing.

New NE women in business group launches
The founder of the Northeast Neighbors & Business Association has spun off several new websites in recent months, the newest of which is tailored for women in business.
"As a woman business owner myself, I wasn't really seeing this niche being filled at a neighborhood level in the Northeast Minneapolis area," said Shelly Leeson, the owner of businesses for pet products, pet-sitting and alterations.
The new group is called "Winners," and Leeson said she envisions a series of casual gatherings where women can connect for inspiration, information and networking. Eventually, she would like to see Winners work to benefit local women's organizations through donations or volunteers. The website (winnersmpls.com) will provide a link to resources and marketing opportunities, with a directory of women-owned businesses. A "Wednesday Wake-Up" coffee meeting is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 4 at Hazel's.
Leeson's other new sites include a MarketPlace of job postings (marketplacene.com), a Free Stuff clearinghouse listing free events (freestuffne.com) and a Northeast Minneapolis Crime Watch facebook page to provide another resource for public safety information. The crime site (crimewatchne.com) features a section called "Ask Gladys," which is designed to be a fun way for residents to ask questions about public safety.
"As with everything that the NENBA does, the objective is to develop and offer free and low-cost marketing alternatives for area businesses, while offering 'shop local' information and incentives to local consumers for the purpose of strengthening our neighborhood and local economy," Leeson said in an email.
Leeson founded the Northeast Neighbors & Business Association (northeastnba.com) three years ago, and she said membership has doubled from a year ago, reaching 120 members.

Neighbors for Nations forms to help Somalia
Minneapolis is home to the nation's largest Somali community, and for a generation Somali Americans have been sending money back to their home country to deal with the nation's ongoing humanitarian crisis. Despite the millions of dollars raised by Minnesota Somalis for Somalia, their efforts have been hampered by a lack of organization and strategy. A new Minneapolis-based organization aims to change that.
Neighbors for Nations is a joint effort between the Minnesota Somali community and the American Refugee Committee, with backing from United Way, UCare and the city of Minneapolis. The goal of the program is to partner the fundraising efforts of the Somali community with the organizational, operational and technical expertise of the ARC.
Neighbors for Nations has been in the works for about 18 months, and was initiated by the Minneapolis Somali community reaching out to the ARC. The two groups agreed to work together in partnership, with headquarters in Minneapolis and Somalia. The dual locations reflects the organization's goal to help Somalis both here and in Somalia — by helping Minnesota Somalis prosper here, they will have more resources to contribute to their home country.
Amongst the first projects Neighbors for Nations will undertake are a youth center in Somalia, a fund for Somali entrepreneurs, crisis care and a scholarship program. A fundraising effort called "1,000 Giving 1,000" has also been launched, which seeks to find 1,000 volunteers to pledge $1,000 to the organization. Thirty-five members of the Minneapolis Somali community have already committed to the effort, as has Mayor R.T. Rybak.
The organization was announced April 13 at a pair of events at the Karmel Somali Mall and City Hall. Around 300 people turned out for the larger event at City Hall, roughly half of which were of Somali descent. Several speakers took the podium to explain the partnership, including two representatives of the Internationally Displaced Somali Advisory Council and the heads of ARC, UCare and the Greater Twin Cities United Way.

New Mexico's Silver City Celebrates Silver Anniversary of SRAM Tour of the Gila Cycling Race
SANTA FE, N.M., April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Next week, Silver City, New Mexico, gears up to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of the SRAM Tour of the Gila. Now in its 25th year, the cycling stage race, which began in 1987, is staking its claim as the nation's most historic, thanks to the dramatic backdrop on which the race itself is set.
Running April 27-May 1, 2011, riders in the SRAM Tour of the Gila center their remarkable adventure in Silver City, New Mexico, near the birthplace of famous Apache warrior Geronimo and the childhood home of the notorious outlaw, Billy the Kid.
The race course itself offers contenders and spectators a glimpse of ancient Native American culture: the 700+ year-old ruins of the Mogollon people at the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. No other race in America can lay claim to such ancient and notorious history.
Add to that a taste of adventure – Stage 5, known as the "Gila Monster," is the most challenging final stage in US racing, encompassing 105.7 miles of cycling and 9,131 feet of climbing – and you have the makings of an American legend.
While perhaps best known as the race that "brought Lance back," in 2009, the SRAM Tour of the Gila is considered a testing ground for America's emerging professional racers. Ranked a 2.1 level event on the 2011 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar (NRC), cyclers have increased their professional rankings and been recruited by America's leading cycling sponsors in recent years.
"Only New Mexico could offer such a uniquely challenging cycling course through treacherous mountains and valleys past the ancient Gila Cliff Dwellings wrapping up at an old west 1800 era saloon," noted Monique Jacobson, New Mexico Tourism Department Cabinet Secretary. "This is truly a race through time and place in a backdrop that encompasses everything wonderful about New Mexico."
For those who backslid on new year's resolution to exercise more, the race also offers spectacular viewing areas of both cyclers and New Mexico's dramatic landscapes. Thanks to the Celebration of Spring Expo, which will feature live music, a beer garden and extensive children's activities, the Silver celebration can be made fun for the entire family.

With an initial review of the APA guidelines, tax professionals have noted that India's APA regime is a positive development for taxpayers in that it will allow for greater certainty.
Other positive developments with respect to the APA program are that it includes rules allowing taxpayers to seek bilateral and multilateral APAs, as well as unilateral APAs; allowing for anonymous pre-filing consultations; and providing that the tax administration's APA team is to be composed of "focused" APA members, composed of individuals with experience in a range of fields (economics, statistics, law, and other appropriate areas).
Yet, it has been observed that the APA rules do not suggest a time frame for the tax administration's disposal of an application, that no rollback is allowed, and that no "firewalls" are established.

Solons cool to impeach rap vs Aquino, say charges need corroboration
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Will an impeachment complaint prosper against President Benigno Aquino III for allegedly meddling during the impeachment trial of then Chief Justice Renato Corona?
Not for now, minority members at the House of Representatives said at a press briefing Thursday.
1-BAP Partylist Representative Silvestre Bello III said Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr.'s allegations that the president personally told him to convict Corona would need to be corroborated before being used as basis for an impeachment complaint.
"For Congress to file an impeachment complaint, the allegations have to be corroborated because if there is a trial it will fall apart immediately if there is only one witness, and there is no corroboration," Bello said in Filipino.
Bayan Muna Partylist Rep. Carlos Zarate added that the minority has yet to reach a consensus on the matter.
He noted, though, that there was impropriety on the part of the president in influencing senator-judges during the trial.
He added that impropriety was prohibited under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
"In my opinion, there is at the least impropriety when the president who is very much interested in the impeachment…talks to a senator-judge. We know that under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices, that is prohibited," Zarate said.
"Right now, it is not right for any possible complaint because Sen. Revilla's statement … remains uncorroborated," he added.
Aquino's meddling charges stemmed from Revilla's privilege speech after the senator was accused of being involved in a billion-peso racket involving lawmakers' discretionary pork barrel funds.
The Palace confirmed the meeting but denied the president influenced the senator-judge.

Have you given up on dating and relationships?
And why have you given up? Is it because of experiences, believes or something else? Thanks!
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes. I've never had a boyfriend and I don't think that's just going to change all of a sudden. It would be stupid of me to put so much time and effort into something that I know isn't going to work out. People these days don't want relationships anyway. You guys want instant gratification, something like FWB, and that's not how I roll. I'm more into real committed relationships and it doesn't seem like that's what guys my age are into. I'm not totally happy being alone but I guess that's what will have to happen. Thanks a lot hookup culture.
not every guy is like that your just using that as an excuse to justify you being single and to feel better about it. excuses excuses excuses.
- Show Older Hide Older
in college people want serious relationships your probably just thinking about the people who like to party ... look elsewhere.
Oh and fyi I'm in a fraternity and all the guys have serious relationships with there girlfriends with the exception of 1 or 2 clubheads.
What Girls Said 44
Yes because I like casual sex
Interesting. I have a question for you: Since you mentioned that you like casual sex. How do you like guys to approach towards a fling or a no strings attached relationship. Do you like guys to be upfront about it without any runarounds?
I prefer people who are upfront
All right, that is what i tought. Thanks
Yes I have. My last boyfriend and I broke up about 3 weeks ago. That was the final straw with me. I have been with 3 different guys this year...non of those relationships lasting more than 3 months. Every guy keeps lying to me, cheating on me, or just completely insensitive and selfish. They have all seemed perfect in the beginning then abruptly turned ice cold. Seriously no warning.
I really fell in love with my last. I honestly didn't think our relationship would end anytime soon. But it did, and I don't hurt as bad anymore. I think about it less and less each day. But I have decided to take a break because I see no need to rush into something with someone until I know for sure he is compatible with me. I will make friends... hang out. And if I happen to meet a guy then cool. But I'm tired of settling and I'm tired of being with guys who aren't willing to give their all. The problem could very well be me. Or it could just be I pick the wrong guys. But I will take this time out to figure it out. Find out what it is I need. Get my life in order, and then find a guy who can love me just how I am. I can only get my heart broken but so many times. So for the first time in my life... I'm HAPPY to be single. Iv got other things to stress about in my life and a guy just isn't one of them
I've experienced a great relationship, and one recently that almost made me lose trust in all men... but it's the great relationship I've experienced that keeps me from giving up. It's not a priority right now. I enjoy being single and free for now, but I know that I'll find someone eventually. We'll find each other n_n
I'm giving up because I keep getting cheated on so why give my heart if they only want to throw me away?
For what it's worth, we're not all like that. There really are some good guys out there in the world; we're just not always the ones that are trying to be front and centre. But we are out there.
I just want someone who is actually there as much as me. I just don't understand why I'm only good enough for a month then they cheat and drop me.
Yes, I've given up because every guy I've ever met has found a way to hurt me even before we were in a relationship. So I figure the best way to not get hurt is to stay single. And I've never had boyfriend because of this.
Why do you have a pic of a man if you are a girl?
^ she thinks he's hot dude.
I have said over and over again that I was going to give up but something inside me still know that there is hope. I am not the judgmental type and I feel if I completely give up I would be judging another man for the actions of someone else. Besides, I don't want to be alone. I think everyone has their moments of frustration, however, that all passes when we meet someone we like. And the cycle continues...

I have given up. Part of it is kind of complicated, and I don't want to share that part. The other reasons are mainly because I have never really had a lot of friends. I am shy, and was never a popular student. By the time I got to high school, almost everybody I knew had a boyfriend/girlfriend, or has at least gone through making out, and stuff like that (from Facebook pictures). I am now 21, 3rd year of college, and I have never kissed, been kissed, or even gone on a date. My parents and grandparents are upset about that, but I decided to forget about it, and simply stay single forever. I have plans for my future, and I don't need a girl to be in it. By the way, my parents recently had another baby (She is exactly 20 years younger), and I think it's because they finally realized that I am not going to get married and have kids, so they created another one to have a chance of becoming grandparents someday.
yep gave up a long time ago, been probably 10-12 years now I think, starting to lose track.
I've tried casual dating and just hooking up but its not for me. What I want is a real relationship with a woman but women only seem to want that if you are able to somehow live up to a fairy tale standard about men they were fed while still a child. sadly most women never grow up =(
True - too many women have unrealistic expectations of men.
While a lot of men have unrealistic "physical" expectations of women, it's not the same abundance of the number of women who crave that "fairy tale standard".
yeah that's very true, I think physically attractive women are a dime a dozen tho, I think the guys who only like women who look like they should be in the movies suffer from insecurity issues. I could be wrong tho.
I've almost given up.. I think to myself I turn 28 this year and 2 more years I will be 30 and never been on any dates nor had a relationship so what's the point? Most if not all girls here in Connecticut are superficial and it shows.
1-3-2-4. You have been meeting the wrong girls in Connecticut not all the girls are superficial
To say I 'gave up' would imply I ever tried at all.
I just don't see myself as the type of guy that would ever be successful in relationships, so I removed myself from the proverbial game. I'm fully aware that I only have myself to blame, so I expect and deserve no sympathy for this stance.
Part of me feels that (to give up) but part of me says to hold out and have the faith that someone would be there just fo me. I am 34 now and my past relationships didn't last long enough for me to be worthwhile. My last potential partner for example didn't want to live in my country so we had to break it off. It was completely mutual so we remained friends for now. Friendships is more important to me now including any new people I might meet. If it works out only then will I consider a proper relationship...
I am semi-giving up because girls always look to have fun in college. They always go out and eat, spend money, going to this and that place all around town, partying, and so forth. I don't have that kind of money to provide a girl to do all that. And also, I can't drive freeways yet, so that already end a lot of things I can do with a girl. I can't afford a girlfriend financially. And second they are a bit too shallow right now. They only like the party and frat guys. At least for the ones I find attractive are like that. Yes I heard it all, it's not about looks. I don't even pay attention to the girls who are rated 9s and 10s as many would call it. I don't pay too much attention to the 8s either, as many would rate as well.
the truth is I don't know yet if I should just give up or not yet so for now I don't know yet because so far looks like it's true that all nice guys and good guys finish last I know I'm unattractive, I know I'm super skinny guy,i know I'm a nice good person,i know maybe I'm weak but I will train if I choose to,I'm 23 and I still live with my parents and I've heard to some girls and some women it's a turn off bottom line I don't know if I should just give up yes I'm saying I don't know yet I've been cheated on,lied to,I've been betrayed,and worst of all I've been back stabbed and she broke my heart.And I don't know if I can trust women and girls so for now I don't know if I should give up yet I hope this answers your question and if you got anything to ask me or if you got any questions you like to ask me feel free to ask me and I will see if I can answer your question.
i do however have confidenece and I do believe in myself it's just looks like some girls and some women killed chivalry
Just be social be yourself and once you find a girl that interests you and you believe she won't hurt you go for it.
For now I have. Partially its because I don't really have time for it with work and school. Mostly its because I don't really think its ever going to happen. Seems like most girls my age (24) are superficial and only look at looks matter. I know that not all are like that. Seems like the down to earth ones are already taken.
I'm starting to give up. After 2 years of being turned down you start to lose hope. But I refuse to completely give up. Its like the old saying of you get out what you put in. If you put no effort into getting a relationship than you'll never have one. But unfortunately if you try to hard it can be bad
I'm burnt out with it because the girls I go for won't give me a chance. I really was hung out to dry by my last two girls which still hurts. I wouldn't have minded if they were just up front with me in the first place. I'm about to the point of not believing in magic anymore. I'm trying to keep my head up but a lack of experiences and a lack of any body language will do that for me. I'd kill to have a stable relationship in my "youth'", but I just turned 23 and my longest relationship was 3months. Is there anything I can do to possibly improve that or help sway my mind from dwelling on it too long?

Cameras ran me out of town also
After the second time, like the writer, I have made the firm resolve to avoid driving through Lynnwood at all costs. Not only can I not afford it, but I don't want to live under the stress of going to my mailbox two weeks after passing through the town only to find another violation. It's simply not worth it. When I want to go to the mall, I shall gladly visit Everett, Bellevue Square or Northgate and spend my money in better ways than supporting the coffers of a small city down the road. I feel badly for the businesses, but that's the way it is!

A proposal to rename the Brockport Post Office after a fallen hero is one step closer to completion.
A bill to name the post office after Sergeant Nicholas Reid is now on the desk of President Obama and awaiting his final signature. The Senate passed the bill late last week while the House passed it in March. Reid, who was from Brockport, was killed in Afghanistan in December 2012 by an improvised explosive device. He received numerous medals, including the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star Medal. Reid was just 26-years-old.

Tossing the 9to5 for a life on the water.Ideas/exeperiences?
Well... I might suggest you join the Navy. Are you under 30?
Lots of adventure, travel, great people and rewarding work. Pays better than most jobs on the water. Aboard ship (if you are an O) you get your meals made for you, your cabin cleaned, clothes washed and some really great coffee (if you like it really strong). The big benefit is that you can go to sea for months at a time and never have to deal with girlfriends/wives/etc.
:O)))))) (a little tongue in cheek, but still a good suggestion)
But if you are over 30...
Boat captain - does not pay well
Boat delivery - really does not pay well
Diving/salvage - lots of people doing this
Best bets:
Charter a large sport fisher in FLA - you will need to invest at least a couple hundred grand in a good boat
Work a charter fleet somewhere- tons of people wanting to do this so...
Start your own charter fleet with a few older but nice looking sailboats - you will need to find a niche marker area that is not saturated.
Use your skills as a carpinter etc to do boat refinishing - this may be your best bet - lots of jobs and relatively well paying. Most yacht yards charge about $65/hr for labor, you get some % of that or a salary. You can also do this freelance and work anywhere.
Hope this helps.

Now that London temps have dropped to below 70 degrees, Pippa Middleton is upgrading her wardrobe from breezy sundresses and casual wedges to a sleeker look.
PHOTOS: Pippa's royal street style
The 28-year-old stepped out in a teal mini, black blazer and chic booties on Wednesday. She rocked a sleek ponytail instead of her usual loose waves and carried a black studded bag -- an outfit that could be considered almost too-trendy for the office. (Her current gig is at a geothermal energy firm in London.)
PHOTOS: How Pippa gets her fabulous figure
On Thursday, she went for a sexy lace shift dress, which she paired with another black blazer, tan envelope purse and matching ballet flats.

Palace junks case vs Dagupan City mayor
DAGUPAN CITY—Malacañang has dismissed an administrative complaint against Mayor Benjamin Lim for abuse of authority in connection with the city government's purchase of a piece of land in San Jacinto, Pangasinan, in 2002.
In another complaint for graft filed at the Office of the Ombudsman in June last year, a certain Leo Angeles said the 35-hectare hilly land that the city bought for P16 million in April 2002 during Lim's first term as mayor was overpriced.
But Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr., on Feb. 19, dismissed the complaint, saying local elective officials cannot anymore be subjected to disciplinary sanctions for administrative misconduct committed during a prior term.
Ochoa cited a decision by the Supreme Court in the 1950s (Pascual v Provincial Board of Nueva Ecija), which said: "The underlying theory is that each term is separate from other terms and that the reelection to office operates as a condonation of the officer's previous misconduct."
"In this case, the complaint took place in 2002, or prior to the present term of [Lim]," Ochoa said. Yolanda Sotelo, Inquirer Northern Luzon

Superior Court Judge Kevin P. McMahon told Griswold foster mother Jami M. Littlefield that she went "way beyond the line" as he sentenced her to 100 days in prison for paddling a 4-year-old foster child with a wooden spoon.
Littlefield, 51, of 13 Rixtown Road, will be on probation for two years following her release and will be allowed to care only for children who are related. She had pleaded guilty to third-degree assault. As she stood before the judge in her sweat suit, prepared to enter the prison system, Littlefield quietly apologized for the incident. She said she had been ill with bronchial pneumonia and that she did not intend to hurt the child.
"The picture of the 4-year-old's buttocks was ugly, that's for sure," the judge said. "It was too severe of discipline, that's for sure."
According to an arrest warrant affidavit prepared by state trooper Paul Piper of Troop E in Montville, the child's biological mother, Elisabeth Land, noticed bruises on her daughter's buttocks during a supervised visit on Jan. 11. The mother said the girl was wearing baggy pants, and when the child bent over to pick up a toy, the mother saw what appeared to be a handprint on her lower back and a bruise on her buttocks.
Littlefield initially denied hitting the child but eventually agreed to provide state police with a statement, according to the affidavit. She said she was home sick from her job at Foxwoods Resort Casino, and the girl was "acting out throughout the evening" and had struck Littlefield's granddaughter, who is also 4. Littlefield said she pulled down the girl's pants and "paddled her butt" with a wooden spoon that she had been using to stir soup after the girl told Littlefield she was going to kill her, called her a racial slur and spat at her several times.
The mother reported the injuries to a child advocate who was supervising the visit, and the advocate took the girl to Pequot Health Center, according to the affidavit. Medical staff determined the girl had contusions on her buttocks that appeared to have been caused by the repeated strikes of a blunt instrument.
The girl's mother did not attend the sentencing but wrote a letter to the judge. The child remains in custody of the Department of Children and Families, according to court officials.
Littlefield, who had been a foster parent for eight years, voluntarily surrendered her license, according to her husband, Robert Littlefield. He said he and his wife were not adequately trained to handle a child with such severe problems. He said the little girl had thrown a chair at his grandchild that day.
"My wife doesn't deserve what she got," the husband said.
Sally Rocawich, a family friend, said the child should have been placed in a therapeutic home and that Littlefield had asked the DCF to place her elsewhere.
The plea agreement that Littlefield accepted had been worked out by prosecutor Thomas DeLillo and defense attorney Peter Catania.

A Third of Americans Delinquent on Debt
More than a third of consumers have trouble paying debts on time; 35% of Americans have debt in collections, according to a study of seven million Americans by the Urban Institute. That means the debt is so far past due that the account has been closed and placed in collections. This typically happens after the bill hasn't been paid for 180 days. It also means the debt has been reported to credit bureaus and can affect someone's credit score. [USA Today]
Beware of Large Fees for Overdrafts on Debit Cards, ATMs
Overdraft services for ATM use and debit card purchases can ring up huge fees on small transactions, according to a CFPB study. The median amount on debit card transactions that leads to an overdraft fee is $24, says the study, which is based on checking account data from a set of large banks supervised by the bureau. More than half of consumers pay back negative balances in three days; 76% within a week, the report says. That means if a consumer borrowed $24 for three days and paid the median overdraft fee of $34, that loan would carry a 17,000% annual percentage rate. [USA Today]
Square Introduces New Reader for Chip-Based Credit Cards
Square, the mobile payments company, announced it has developed a new credit card reader that will make transactions with chip-enabled EMV cards. Square is a credit card reader that plugs into tablets or smartphones, allowing a credit or debit card purchase from just about any location. One of the largest hurdles in the conversion to EMV cards is the cost to retailers. New processing machines are needed. Square seems to be in a good position with this latest announcement.

New Bank Card Credit Reaches Six-Year High
There were a total of 15.5 million bank credit cards issued during the first four months of 2014, a six-year high and an increase of 17.2% from 2013 figures. The total dollar amount of new credit originated in that same time was $77.4 billion, which is also a six-year high and an increase of 24.1% from the same time in 2013. [ACA International]
Amazon Apparently Set to Launch Square-Competitor in August
Amazon could be preparing to launch its own mobile credit card reading hardware in the coming weeks, according to internal Staples documents hinting at such a launch that we've obtained. According to the documents, Staples stores will prepare next month to stock a new product called the "Amazon Card Reader" alongside existing card readers from Square, PayPal, and Staples' own in-house brand. The small hardware, which will likely connect to smartphones to process payments, will cost $9.99, according to the Staples internal sales systems. [9to5 Mac]
Take Advantage of Credit Cards and Good Credit
A barrage of credit card offers is a cyclical phenomenon. Sometimes the offers include 0% financing, but they can also be balance transfers or sign-on bonuses. The no-interest offers being distributed now are really a "Christmas in July" kind of gift. If anyone needed more proof that the Great Recession changed people's financial habits, consider that nearly 30% of Americans pay off their balances in full each month. That's a 50% increase since 2008, according to the American Bankers Association. The ABA's data said that more than half of Americans now have a credit score of 759 or higher, compared to 41% in 2008. Middle and higher-income families have contributed to a larger paydown in credit card debt. [Minneapolis Star Tribune]

Final Score: Philadelphia 4, NY Rangers 1
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - R.J. Umberger had a goal and an assist and Antero Niittymaki made 25 saves, as the Philadelphia Flyers kept their division title hopes alive with a 4-1 win over the New York Rangers at the Wachovia Center.
Jeff Carter donated a pair of helpers and Peter Forsberg returned from his four-game absence due to a groin injury and tallied an assist for the Flyers, who moved within a point of the Rangers for first place in the Atlantic. Should they defeat New Jersey on Sunday and the New York Islanders in their regular-season finale on Tuesday, they would claim the division.
The Devils currently trail the Rangers by three points in the Atlantic race and have the Flyers and Islanders left on their schedule. The Rangers have just one game remaining, as they host Ottawa on Tuesday.
Marcel Hossa netted his team's lone goal with Dominic Moore picking up the primary assist for New York, which has dropped four in a row. Netminder Kevin Weekes allowed four goals on 29 shots in defeat.
Philadelphia dominated play in the first period, outshooting the Rangers 15-3 en route to a 2-0 advantage.
The Flyers gained their first power play of the contest a little over six minutes in, and promptly used it to jump out front. Frederick Meyer fought along the left wall to keep the puck in the New York zone, then kicked it down to an open Forsberg. Forsberg moved in on net and slipped the disc under a diving defenseman and out front, where Mike Knuble punched it in at the 8:09 mark.
Carter's stickwork set up the next Philly goal, which came with 1:51 remaining in the first. The center stormed down the left side of the attack zone, then switched from the forehand to the backhand so he could sneak a centering pass past his defender. Nicholas Dimitrakos took over from there, flicking a shot past Weekes glove side to push the edge to two goals.
Philadelphia added two more in the second period to assume a 4-0 lead. Umberger polished off a 2-on-1 opportunity 5:44 into the middle frame, popping Carter's feed into the wide open left side of the net to make it 3-0. About four minutes later, Petr Nedved got the disc between the circles on the back end of a give and go with Michal Handzus and wristed it past Weekes.
New York got on the board midway through the second, as Hossa collected a rebound and poked it in from the doorstep to pull his team within three.
Despite heavy pressure the rest of the way, however, Niittymaki stonewalled the Rangers for the duration of the game to ensure the crucial win.
Game Notes
The Flyers average a goal more per game when Forsberg is in the lineup...New York, which will be in the playoffs for the first time since 1997, has not won a division crown since its Stanley Cup season in the 1993-94 season...The season series ended in a 4-4 tie.

Is it possible that in 1916 my greatgrandmother automatically naturalized along with my greatgrandfather? (I am claiming via GGF, GF, M).
Let me explain:
For my GGF I have a Certificate of Naturalization for 1916. It lists his residence and names his wife and children.
For my GGM I have a Certificate of Citizenship from 1958. It states that she naturalized in 1916.
My relative who has all the family documents has not been able to locate a separate Certificate of Naturalization for my GGM. (I had assumed that the Certificate of Citizenship for my GGM was a Certificate of Naturalization until I looked at it closely yesterday as I was rewriting my application--San Francisco now has a new form).
So, I'm wondering if my GGM was naturalized with my GGF's document. Or should she have a separate naturalization document?
Perhaps it is not a big issue because I am claiming through my GGF, but I want to be as prepared for my Thursday appointment as possible.
Much appreciated!

Twitter Has Suspended An ISIS Account That Live-Tweeted Its Advance In Iraq
The Iraqi government on Friday also cut off access to social media, alleging it was necessary to stop ISIS' advance.
2. Twitter has suspended at least six accounts affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the extremist group gaining ground in Iraq and Syria since fighting escalated this week.
In another development, the Iraqi government also blocked access to many social media accounts, claiming it was necessary to stop ISIS from planning further attacks via those media. Critics allege that the government violated its own laws in doing so.
3. On Tuesday, the @Nnewsi account live tweeted ISIS' advance into Mosul, reporting which areas of Nineveh province was now under its control.
4. By Friday, Twitter had suspended @Nnewsi. Another popular ISIS affiliated account, @raqqa98 (which has 32,600 followers), has changed its name to @w_raqqa, perhaps to confuse outsiders.
Twitter does not comment on individual cases. According to the company's rules, the network will suspend accounts found to use excessive violence or, in some cases, at a government's request.


text: I don't do a lot of toning, only slight selenium to enhance d-max on exhibition prints. I have setled mainly on ADOX MCC 110 and Ilford Galerie , both grades 2 and 3 . The MCC seems to give the same deep blacks as Ilford MGIV with standard developers, but a slightly warmer tone. If you have negatives that don't require extremly soft or hard paper and you can do without split filter printing, nothing beats Ilford Galerie. Then of course you have the variations with different developers and toners, but that makes an endles amount of variations. Good luck with whatever you choose.

GIG HARBOR, Wash. Gig Harbor small businesses are hopeful a jewelry scavenger hunt will also be gift to mom and pop retailers.
Ken Walker Jewelers is hiding boxes containing anything from bracelets and necklaces to earrings each day worth up to $300.
They ll be hidden each day until Christmas Eve, with the exception of Sundays when the jewelry store is closed.
A clue will be posted on the store s Facebook page; whoever finds the gift box keeps it.
It s all part of the Finders Keepers program that started several years ago when the economy hit area businesses hard, especially in Harbor Plaza where Ken Walker is located.
We ve seen quite a few businesses in the harbor that have had to vacate, said Stacey Friant, manager.
Competition for sales have only toughened with more major chain stores moving in.
It s amazing how many of the big box stores have come into what used to be an old fishing village. We re really trying to keep that Gig Harbor feel, said Friant.
According to Friant, jewelry boxes will only be hidden in small businesses.
It s awesome; I think it s great to keep the community together, said Karlee Kelmel, a manager at a nearby Mud Bay pet store.
Melissa Savala found a $144 necklace at Mud Bay on Friday, minutes after Friant posted the clue You don t have to get muddy to find this treat on the jewelry store s Facebook page.
I thought it was weird just sitting there, it made my day, she said.
With a nearby Pet Smart now open in town, Kelmel appreciates the added exposure.
I know that it s been hard for a lot of stores in the area, we just lost one of our pet stores, said Kelmel.
Although the necklace was already gone by the time Jennifer Milbourn and her son found the clue, she says the experience is still valuable.
I definitely think it gets people into the businesses and supports them, said Milbourn.
Friant hopes the scavenger hunt drives more attention to the appeal of shopping at small businesses.
Customers aren t just a number to us. When you come in you know that we re here and we re here to stand behind our product, she said.
It feels better when you walk into those stores, you re not just another person you re the person, said Kelmel.
About a dozen Harbor Plaza businesses have now formed the Harbor Plaza Merchants Association because of the promotion.
By banning together, Friant hopes they can compete with big box stores during the holidays and throughout the year.

Hawkeyes Storm Back to Top Illini, 4-3, in Extras
March 21, 2014
Urbana, Ill. - Illinois starter Brandi Needham carried a one-hit shutout with a 2-0 lead into the top of the seventh, but Iowa pitcher Kayla Massey crushed a two-run homer to tie the score and send the game into extras, and the hurler came through again with an RBI double in the ninth to lead Iowa past Illinois, 4-3, in extra innings. Iowa's victory in the Big Ten opener lifts the Hawkeyes to 6-13 (1-0 Big Ten), while the Illini drop to 14-8 (0-1 Big Ten).
Alex Booker led the Illini at the plate, going 3-for-4 with the first RBI of the game. Allie Bauch was 2-for-4 with a run, while Kylie Johnson and Jess Perkins were both 1-for-3 with an RBI triple and a home run, respectively.
Megan Blank got the Iowa offense going, leading off the seventh and ninth innings with hits to go 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored. Kayla Massey hit 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI, while Holly Huffman was 2-for-4 with the game-winning RBI. Whitney Repole had the first Iowa hit, going 1-for-4 on the day.
Brandi Needham (9-4) allowed just one hit and two walks over the first six innings, but finished the game with four runs on seven hits over nine innings, while striking out a career-high 10 batters, the most for an Illini in over two years. The last Illinois pitcher to top 10 strikeouts was Pepper Gay, who struck out 11 UAB batters on Feb. 11, 2012.
Kayla Massey (3-8) finished with a similar pitching line, going the full nine innings and allowing three runs, two earned, on seven hits and no walks, striking out four.
"I liked how we came out," said Head Coach Terri Sullivan. "Allie and Book got us on the board early. Bee (Brandi) was throwing very well in her Big Ten debut. Then we let Iowa hang around and had some costly lack of execution. You can't sit back in Big Ten play, and we won't tomorrow."
The Illini got things going quickly in the bottom of the first, as Bauch ripped a leadoff single to right. Remeny Perez bunted her into scoring position, and Booker drove her in on an RBI single to left.
Massey got the first two outs in the bottom of the second, but the second baseman misplayed a tough hop off the bat of Katie Repole, and Kylie Johnson made her pay, ripping an RBI triple to left to put Illinois ahead, 2-0.
After a surrendering a leadoff walk to Erickson in the top of the fourth, Needham retired the next nine-straight batters to head into the top of the seventh riding a one-hit shutout and a 2-0 lead. However, Blank led off the seventh with a single to left. Michelle Zoeller popped up the bunt on the sacrifice attempt, but Massey evened the game with one swing, launching a two-run bomb off the scoreboard in left center to tie the game at two.
Massey retired the Illini in order in the bottom of the seventh, sending the game into extra innings.
Bauch led off the bottom of the eighth with a single up the middle and got to second as the center fielder misplayed the ball, but Perez lined into an unfortunate double play to the pitcher to clear the bases. Booker kept the inning going with a single up the middle, but that would be it for the Illini in the eighth.
Blank began the top of the ninth with a double to the corner in left. Zoeller moved her up with a ground out, and Massey came through again with an RBI double to right to give the Hawkeyes their first lead. Hoffman added an insurance run with an RBI single to make it 4-2 before Needham struck out Whitney Repole for the final out.
Perkins drove the first pitch of the ninth inning over the wall in straightaway center to cut the deficit in half, but that was it for the Illini offense as Iowa closed out the comeback by a final score of 4-3.
Next Up: Illinois and Iowa return to Eichelberger Field on Saturday, March 22, to finish out the Big Ten opening series with a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.

Scouts Buzz: Seattle rising in West
Originally Published: October 25, 2010By Matt Williamson | Scouts Inc.
After watching the Week 7 matchups, Scouts Inc. shares these key observations: 1. In terms of NFC West "dominance," I am starting to become a real believer in the Seattle Seahawks. Right now, it is pretty clear that they are the best team in this terrible division. Pete Carroll needs to be discussed in the coach of the year conversation. He is maximizing the talent on this roster. They are fantastic on special teams and can stop the run. They are a much better pass-rushing defense than many tend to realize, led by Chris Clemons, who had yet another sack this week. The run defense wasn't superb against Arizona, but the Seahawks were without DT Brandon Mebane, their best big man. WR Mike Williams is a developing weapon who is difficult to account for, and their two-headed rushing attack remains potent. One big worry for me is the loss of LT Russell Okung (ankle) once again. In the little we have seen of Okung, he has been an excellent blind-side protector. The offensive line may really struggle if he is out of the lineup. I am not suggesting that Seattle is a contender, but it is separating itself from the quagmire of the division. 2. It is time to start mentioning Atlanta's Roddy White with the best wide receivers in the game. Once you get past Houston's Andre Johnson and Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald, there are quite a few qualified candidates to be the next-best wide receiver on that list. But I think Dallas' Miles Austin is the only player I would put over White for the No. 3 spot, which puts White at No. 4 on my list -- though I do feel that Detroit's Calvin Johnson will be right at the top once he improves his overall consistency. White really doesn't have a weakness and can kill a defense at every level. He is becoming remarkably consistent week to week and has extremely secure hands to go along with big-play ability. To complement his 201 receiving yards and two touchdowns, White's one-handed catch down the right sideline was a terrific display of concentration and body control.

ASUS BE6 with a Celeron oc to 450. It was pretty hot at the time. I also still have a DFI Lanparty 939 board with an Opteron.
Oops -- I forgot that was an ABIT, not an ASUS. Mine was a BX6, too. It is now sitting in its original box over in the corner! My friend had the ABIT BE6, which wasn't as good as the BX6.
Thats it!
ABIT BX6 board managed to get a cherry picked Celeron 300A to 600Mhz, I love it when PCs were niche and not every moron had one.

If you're tired of lugging around both an external battery pack and a power adapter to keep your iPhone running, today's your lucky day. Nomad (the company behind the ChargeCard) has started taking pre-orders for the NomadPlus, a 1,500mAh external battery that takes advantage of the Apple's official power plug to save space. Slide the charger in and you can top up your iPhone (or other low-power USB devices) with one peripheral, whether or not you're anywhere near a wall outlet. Logically, it will also recharge its own battery when plugged in. The gadget doesn't provide much energy on its own -- it will only bring an iPhone up to 70 percent -- but it should be enough to get you through a typical day.
Yes, you can technically buy external batteries that have their own plugs built-in. However, Nomad's bring-your-own strategy is not just efficient, but cheap -- the Plus will cost $39 ($20 if you use the code "nomadplus" within the next few days), or considerably less than a dedicated external battery like Mophie's $50, 1,350mAh Power Reserve. You'll have to wait until the end of November before you can pick one up, but it might be worth waiting if you don't need the additional electricity right away.
