Recent Westbrook reviews
"My husband and I & our two teen aged sons have been renting this cottage for a week or 2 for 4 summers. We love it! The location is perfect--a stone's throw from the beach (a 90 second walk) in a quiet friendly beachy neighborhood. There is a cottage feel to the house and at the same time its so nice to have a dishwasher, and a washing machine & dryer. The beds are comfortable. The house is always clean upon arrival & renters are expected to leave it clean for the next visitors. There's plenty of parking and plenty of space to hang out inside on the rare rainy day. The clean, sandy beach is rarely crowded--our family & friends are often the only people there during the week. There are plenty of restaurants & shopping very close by, and tourist attractions all within an hour's drive, if you can bear to leave the beach. The owners are very nice & accommodating. My husband & I have been renting in the neighborhood for decades & we just love this house & location."Guest: Kathy Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: January 17, 2015View listing
"Our stay at the marsh studio was truly a wonderful experience . . . one of our best vacations ever! We arrived in the rain and were so captivated by the contemporary design, sculptures and various works of art that we soon forgot about the rain. Ilsa and Bob are wonderful hosts. A bottle of wine, orange juice and the makings for coffee were very much appreciated. Their dog, Tilda, (a lab/something?? mix) was a fine greeter . . . energetic and loving and an added bonus for us. We decided to stay local this summer and were amazed at all there was to do in the Westbrook area. We saw a great concert at the Kate Theater in Old Saybrook and a few days later we went to the Goodspeed Opera House to see a wonderful musical. Both theaters are unique and conveniently located. The Chamard Winery in Clinton and lunch deckside overlooking the vineyards was great. We had a terrific waiter and the food was delicious. There are so many restaurants to choose from . . . The Boom at Pilots Point Marina has the view of the boats and the sunset, Lenny and Joe's was a favorite for eat in and take out. We love lobster so the Lobster Landing in Clinton was a great choice for hot lobster rolls and butter. For times when we wanted to stay put . . . the kitchen at the studio and outside grilling made dining in fun. West Beach was great for Barbara who LOVES the ocean and the fishing/crabbing and kayaking on the tidal river was Duncan's top of the list relaxing activities. Just sitting on the dock with a morning cup of coffee was so special. There was more that we did and much more to do next time and there will be a next time. Simply put, being there was WONDERFUL!!"Guest: Barbara and Duncan Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: July 17, 2014View listing
"This house was compact, clean, convenient - a delight in every way. We even managed okay with just one bath and seven people. Very near a great beach (short walking distance). And very convenient to the things we like to do as a family: Mystic Seaport; miniature golf at Saybrook Point; Gillette's Castle; Chester ferry; Essex steam train; Johnny Ad's restaurant in Old Saybrook - and especially the Deep River Fife & Drum Corps Muster on the 19th (always the 3rd Saturday in July). Grew up nearby but have lived in Texas for 20 years - and definitely will use this house as a great place for a "base of operations" when visiting the East or coming back again for the Muster."Guest: Richard G.

[0001]The present invention relates to a clip-on connector to geogrid for segmental block reinforced soil retaining wall mechanical connection system.
[0002]More particularly, the invention relates to a clip-on connector that overcomes some of the outstanding problems in connecting dry laid segmental blocks to geogrids used for reinforced soil retaining structures, in particular achieving full pull out strength connection with the geogrids having high conjunction strength. The connector also provides for the ability to be used with blocks having a connection profile in one bed face only or shared between both top and bottom bed faces or with hollow blocks.
[0003]As it is known, many solutions exist for concrete panels and blocks with various connection methods between the panels and blocks for retaining walls. Some of these also include methods of connecting various forms of soil reinforcing materials for the construction of reinforced soil structures. These can be metal or polymeric strips, metal ladders or grids, and various forms of polymeric geogrids typically HDPE or Polypropylene extruded grids, or woven or knitted polyester fibre geogrids.
[0004]Geogrids which have a high junction strength between the warp and weft elements of the grid are typically extruded HDPE or modified sheet HDPE materials. These are characterised by the large cross sectional differences between the thin strong tensile elements of the grid and the thicker junction areas of the grid. This type of grid needs careful attention to the connection with segmental blocks. The aim is to obtain a full strength connection between the two. That is to say the connection strength should be equal to the manufactured tensile strength of the geogrid usually taken over one metre width.
[0005]Typically there may be 30 to 50 separate tensile elements per metre of geogrid which must be connected to the segmental blocks. Therefore to obtain a full strength connection between the two, each tensile element of the grid must be supported by or connected to the blocks. This assumes any frictional connection between the grid and blocks is ignored since this is unreliable and dependant on the pressure between the blocks.
[0006]This has been successfully achieved in a previous patent by this inventor in which a concrete comb was used to locate fingers in the apertures of the grid and the comb was supported by the lower and upper blocks in grooves provided for the comb. A separate shallow groove was provided to accommodate the thick transverse junction bar of the grid.
[0007]In other systems the grid has to be manually held in place on top of the blocks whilst further blocks are placed on top of the grid and means of connection.
[0008]In some systems two pins per block are used to connect the upper and lower blocks and theses pins are the sole method of mechanical connection between the grid and blocks and hence can not provide a full strength connection, any other connection being frictional. These pins are sometimes either a very good fit in the holes in the blocks or a very loose fit. In both cases they are disadvantageous because if they are a good fit, they restrict the freedom of the wall to take up uneven settlement and, when a bad fit, they do not provide a good location for the blocks or positive connection with the grid.
[0009]Some other blocks have moulded features on top and so holes must be cut in the grid so it can be then trapped between the blocks and these are worse than the pin connections since the holes cut in the grid seriously weaken it.
[0010]In another commercially available plastic connection system the path of the grid is so disturbed that the grid has to be cut along the thick transverse rib and so the top block sits on the tensile ribs of the grid only along the back edge of the blocks thus causing the wall to rotate forwards which is seriously disadvantageous in itself and just as bad since it allows only a line contact at the front and back of the block.
[0011]This is particularly bad at the back of the block since the pressure between the block and the grid is amplified and could lead to premature grid failure. A bending moment is also placed on the concrete block which is bad and could lead to failure.
[0012]The aim of the invention is to provide a connector that overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art, being able to be connected to a geogrid without the risk that the handling of the geogrid causes the connector to fall off the geogrid.
[0013]Within the above aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a connector that can be used with different blocks.
[0014]Another object of the present invention is to provide a connector that is of easy manufacturing, highly reliable and at low cost.
[0015]The above aim and objects and others that will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a clip-on connector adapted to be connected to a geogrid, characterized in that it comprises a base portion wherefrom at least one finger portion extends toward an opposite edge of the base portion, such finger portion defining, with the edge of the base portion, a clip, said clip having two arms respectively defined by said finger portion and by said base portion, the spacing between said two arms being smaller than the thickness of a portion of a geogrid whereon the connector has to be coupled, but such that said geogrid portion can be inserted between said two arms.

[0029]FIG. 13 illustrates an overview of a wall made of blocks, with the interposition of geogrids and connectors according to the invention.
[0030]The connector according to the present invention, designated by the reference numeral 1, is a connector in the form of a clip.
[0031]The connector comprises a base 3 from which at least one finger 4 develops towards an edge of the base and defines with such edge a clip with arms 5 and 6, the arm 6 being part of the base 3 and the arm 5 being part of the finger 4. The clip is adapted to passes over a thick transverse bar 7 of uni-axial HDPE/Polypropylene extruded or punched sheet geogrid 2 and provides fingers which occupy the ends of elliptical apertures 8 between high tensile ribs 9 which both extend at generally right angles between the transverse bars 7 of the geogrid 2.
[0032]The radius in the throat of the connector clip centres the thick transverse bar 7 of the geogrid 2 on the finger part 4 of the connector under load. The cross section of the geogrid 2 varies with its tensile strength ans so the clip part of the connector has to accommodate this variation.
[0033]The finger part 4 of the connector 1 is designed to provide a mechanical connection with the geogrid 2 against pullout forces trying to separate the geogrid 2 from blocks 10.
[0034]Thus, the clip defined by the at least one finger portion and the edge of the base portion presents a spacing between the two arms that is smaller than the thickness of the portion of the geogrid whereon the connector has to be coupled, but such that said geogrid portion can be inserted between said two arms. In practice, the connector has to be coupled to the geogrid so that the geogrid comes to be inserted between the two arms of the connector.
[0035]Removal of the connector is thus not possible if not desired by the operator, since the two arms have a spacing such that the insertion of the connector occurs if the connector is forced on the geogrid, thanks to the elasticity of at least one of the arms. At the same time removal is also prevented.
[0036]In applications where the connector 1 is in a housing 11 shared between top and bottom bed faces of the blocks 10 (FIG. 8), the connector also provides a shear key connection between these adjacent blocks 10 thus eliminating the need for any secondary block to block connection means.
[0037]Where the connector housing profile 12 is in one bed face only (see FIG. 9) or hollow block 13 (see FIG. 10), the connector 1 provides the pull out resistance for the geogrid 2 only and some other means have to be provided for the block to block shear connection.
[0038]Since the pitch of the apertures 8 of the geogrid 2 can vary according to the manufacturer or strength or due to production tolerances, the clip-on connector 1 as a single piece would normally have a maximum of three fingers 4. However, different number of fingers could be provided.
[0039]Alternatively to make the connector 1 fully universal and to ease its application on site, single fingers connectors strung together in groups of perhaps 10 or 20 can be used.
[0040]To this regard, FIG. 11 shows single finger connectors strung together on two wires 15 that pass through holes 16 provided in the base 3 of the connectors. Such wires 15 can be made of plastic, pultrusions or stainless steel and in this case the fingers 4 are free to float since the individual connector fingers 4 are narrower than the pitch of the apertures 8 of the geogrid. Single finger connectors could also be used individually.
[0041]One leg or arm of the clip part of the connector can be straight, for example the arm 6 that is part of the base 3.
[0042]This allows the connector 1 to be housed in a matching block profile such that the shear forces applied to the connector 1 by the adjacent block 10 are transferred to that block 10.
[0043]In this case the resisting pull out forces are shared between the adjacent blocks. A further advantage of the present connector is that the path of the geogrid is undisturbed being in a straight line.
[0044]Where the connector 1 is housed in one block profile only the whole of the pull out force is resisted by that block only and there is a small diversion of the geogrid 2 from the straight line.
[0045]Where the connectors 1 are applied to hollow blocks 10 the applications can be one or both of these or a combination of the two depending on the particular hollow block design.
[0046]The clip-on nature of this connection system is of benefit to the use with hollow blocks since they can be pitched along the geogrid 2. This clip-on feature of the blocks is of advantage generally on site since the connectors 1 can not be missed or dislodged once placed on the geogrid 2.
[0047]In all applications the adjacent blocks 10 sit on the thin high tensile ribs 9 of the geogrid 2 across the full bed face of the blocks 10 so there is no tilting or rotation of the blocks 10 since the bed faces of the blocks 10 remain parallel.
[0048]The connectors 1 can also be used with woven or knitted geogrids 2 usually made from polyester fibres coated in PVC. The strength of the pull out resistance of the connection will depend on the junction strength of the geogrids warp and weft fibres.
[0049]FIGS. 12a-12d illustrate a solid segmental block 20 with the connection profile shared between the upper and lower bed faces of the blocks and also the rib topped block used in the system for courses where there is no geogrid requirement.
[0050]FIG. 13 shows a typical reinforced soil structure with the blocks and connectors shown in FIGS. 12a-12d and 8.
[0051]Thus, it can be seen that the connector according to the present invention achieves the above aim and objects since it can be firmly coupled to a geogrid without any possibilities of accidental disconnection.
[0052]Therefore, an injection moulded one or two or three finger clip is supplied which is inserted through the apertures of the geogrid and by its unique design clips over the thick transverse bar of the geogrid. Thus the two are connected together and can only be separated by deliberate manual intervention.
[0053]In addition, the connector can be accommodated inside recesses defined in the blocks between which the geogrid is placed.
[0054]Another advantage of the connector of the invention over the prior art is that it can be used in blocks where a groove can be placed at the top of the block, only the bottom of the mating block being substantially flat. In this case a method of providing shear connection between the blocks must be arranged.
[0055]A further advantage is that the connector of the invention can be used with hollow blocks with a groove correctly placed in the top only.
[0056]A further advantage is that the present connector does not require a second groove in the top or bottom of the block to accommodate the thick transverse (warp ) bar of the grid since it is housed within the connector itself.
[0057]Also unlike another plastic finger connector which does not clip onto the grid or can act as an inter block shear connector, the present clip-on connector can also act as an inter block shear connector by locating the top block to the bottom block.
[0058]In addition, the present connector also keeps the grid in a horizontal plane so that the pull out forces are kept horizontal and hence the disturbing forces between the blocks are at a minimum.
[0059]Whether the connector is housed in grooves in the top and bottom of the blocks or in the top of the block only the thin tensile fingers of the grid can be carried forward to the front of the block as well as to the rear of the block so that the blocks remain parallel in both planes.
[0060]The described invention is susceptible of numerous other modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims; all the details may further be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
[0061]The disclosures in United Kingdom Patent Application no. 0609204.3, from which this application claims priority, are incorporated herein by reference.
[0062]Where technical features mentioned in any claim are followed by reference signs, those reference signs have been included for the sole purpose of increasing the intelligibility of the claims and accordingly such reference signs do not have any limiting effect on the interpretation of each element identified by way of example by such reference signs.

Wonder if they're shutting Claussen down for the year...?
Might be a nice little pickup. What was the reason he was DFA'd by Philly again?

Hmm. Who's the odd man out? With Claussen and Merker due back, three moves have to be made. My guess is EG gets DL'd, Magic gets either DL'd or optioned and ... ?
He's been pretty inconsistant, a decent April, got rocked in May, a pretty good June, got rocked again in July. I wonder who goes?
My guess is Majewski will be on the next bus towards Louisville. Standridge, while not being great hasn't exactly been horrible all season. Majewski on the other hand has done nothing to help this team at all.
It'll be interesting to see who goes.

I really don't see Wayne demoting Majewski. DL maybe but not AAA.Originally Posted by redsfan30
Hopefully Harang's thumb isn't worse than they're letting on....??

He is scheduled to pitch Wednesday versus Chris Carpenter...my guess is that Eddie Guardado is heading to the DL.Originally Posted by redsfan30

Are we sure he's not related to Bowden?

University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Awesome. I woke up this morning wishing the Reds would go pick up another inconsistent reliever.
As much as I would like to see it, I don't think Majewski's going anywhere - he's likely out of options and would have to be DFA'd.
Nice pickup...not upset about it.

Humm an oil analysts led to the clutch conversation /argument
people are only speculating on the iron coming from the steel plates of the clutch there a few other sources I can think of
I looked at the oil analysis and wondered where the copper came from?
Oil is cheap change it often
On clutch use I aint gona stop abusing mine when I need to (its got great action)
Honda made it easy to access for a reason.
Clutch use is a learned skill, if you are riding competitively it can make big difference (On starts, brake turning into corners riding a gear high out of corners speed shifting , rough rocky sections ect
I love my clutch.
I am skeptical if a recluse could withstand the 650r power and same riding technique?
Bad thing is the 650r clutch will let you know fairly quick if your overheating it (its kinda weak) by the play at the lever, once you feel the extra play you better adjust your technique or slow down.
Now get out and abuse your clutch and have some fun.

Second Finest 1883 Half Eagle1883 $5 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. We believe that the present example is the second finest proof 1883 surviving from an original mintage of just 61 coins. Probably less than 20 of those are known today, mostly in lower quality. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth discuss this issue in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins: "The mintage figures for Proof Liberty half eagles creep up slightly each year starting in 1990; however, the survival rate goes down. This issue is of similar rarity to that of other, lower-mintage issues. There are fewer than 20 coins traceable today, including those in museum collections. Because of the scarcity of this issue, the opportunity to acquire an example of the date in Proof seldom occurs."

Is Hair Loss a Common Side Effect After Neograft?
Doctor Answers 10
Hair loss is not uncommon after any hair transplant, not only using the neograft machine.
The Neograft machine is a machine that performs a type of hair restoration called Follicular Unit Extraction, the same way Oral B makes a machine to perform a procedure called Brushing Your Teeth. An FUE procedure performed with the Neograft device is not a "Neograft" procedure any more than brushing your teeth with a sonic toothbrush is an "Oral B" procedure.
In terms of what you can do to about it at this point, I believe Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) would be your best option at this point. The shock loss is due to the surgical "insult" your skin suffered as a result of the procedure. The damage is done, as they say, so stimulating your hair to grow fuller and thicker with the LLLT may limit the extent of shock loss, and is likely your best bet at this point to grow your hair back as quickly as possible.

Possible after any hair transplant but very uncommon
"shock hair loss" is reported to occur after any type of hair transplant. It has nothing to do with Neograft FUE procedure which allows for extraction of follicular units without creating an ugly linear scar. I have never seen any hair loss at the donor site after Neograft, and having been doing this type of procedure for almost 2 years now I also never seen any donor scars. As for the shock hair loss at the recepient site it may occur after any type of procedure because it is a side effect of grat PLACEMENT. It must be very rare - I have never seen it....but as mentioned above it is a reported risk. The good news is that it is usually a transient loss

Hair loss after Neograft
Shock loss is common after a hair transplant
Hair loss after any surgery is common, known as shock loss. Schedule an appointment with your surgeon to discuss this if extreme hair loss continues.
Hair loss after a hair transplant with neograft
Yes, like with all hair transplants this can happen. It is known as shock loss. It is often not a permanent thing.
Shedding of hair after a Neograft hair transplant
The Neograft procedure is a a follicular unit hair transplant using particular harvesting and implanting devices. The result is , like any other method of hair transplantation, dependent on the skill and surgical practices of the hair transplant team. Shedding of hair after a transplant is a known after affect and represents some change in the scalp circulation called "shock loss". Not only is it seen after hair transplants, it is common after other surgeries that involve the scalp such as face lifts and brow lifts. This type of loss is usually temporary and regrowth starts after 3 months. However, if you are at a stage of male pattern baldness where you are steadily losing hair, some of the shocked hairs may not come back as it was their fate to be lost. See you doctor to see if he/she recommends any medication that might slow down hair loss or hasten regrowth.

Not so long ago, an engineering consultancy like Buro Happold would have had studios filled with drawing boards and engineers rushing to complete technical drawings for clients – who would no doubt want a small change "here" and a modest amendment "there", necessitating the engineers to start afresh.
Computer-aided design (CAD), of course, has been a huge productivity boost for engineering consultancies, and has also enabled them to expand, for staff to collaborate across the world – with each other and with clients – and to serve customers that straddle the globe.
Group IT director Shaun Mundy is focused on ensuring that the company's systems can keep up with the needs of such demanding customers, starting with Buro Happold's desktop environment.
Like many companies, it stuck with Windows XP on the desktop throughout the 2000s, wisely eschewing a large-scale move to Windows Vista when it finally emerged, but perhaps being a bit slow to consider a move to Windows 7.
Part of the reason for that, says Mundy, was because when he joined, the company had many disparate operating systems – including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows – with local flavours adding to the complexity.
"It's [now] a very centralised environment and very standardised," he says. "We have done a lot of work over the past few years and are now at about 85 per cent Windows 7, 64-bit. One of the things that made it easy for us to move to Windows 7 was the performance improvement we got at 64-bit over XP, which was as much as 30 per cent," he says. As a result, staff were very willing to make the move.
The benefits of migrating to Windows 8 – which will be formally launched next month – are less clear cut.
The change in interface, for example, needs to be examined closely, given the importance of "power users" in an engineering consultancy, and in particular how the split between the traditional desktop interface and the "Modern UI" of Windows 8 impacts usability.
However, there are many functional benefits in terms of business flexibility, believes Mundy, especially with the development of Windows 8-based ultrabooks.
"Windows 8 is all about the tablet for us," he says. "We are going to watch and try Windows 8 to see what it does for tablets. We are not going to jump just because it's Windows 8."
Surprisingly, there are not too many iPad-toting staff at Buro Happold – perhaps because the work the company undertakes requires far more powerful devices and specialised software.
This has enabled Mundy to approach the issue of "bring your own device" (BYOD) at a more leisurely pace than many organisations.
"We have been conducting a 'consumerisation' study with HR, which I think is the right way to do it because there's the people aspect of it as well as the internal IT consideration," says Mundy.
It is, he adds, not just about security, but manageability, covering such simple and mundane things as the interface, if staff wish to connect their iPad or iPhone directly to their PC. The recent change to the connection interface to Apple's products, for example, could prove expensive and wreak havoc in many organisations. Staff sporting new Nokia Lumias, meanwhile, might want Qi-compatible wireless chargers and connection devices instead.
"We are trying to work out how we can do it, rather than why we can't," adds Mundy.
Security, though, remains a major hurdle to BYOD. "We can't allow anything to just connect to our environment when we don't know how well protected it is," says Mundy.
That does not just mean whether the device is protected from malware that it might import from outside the corporate environment – which is a particular problem with Android-based devices – but also the security of data that staff might want to download to their iPad or other tablet computers.
"It's about knowing end-to-end that the machine is secure and has got the right software, the right package and the right version," he says, because even just managing different file formats in the various different complex CAD and engineering packages – even between different versions – can be a challenge. After all, CAD file formats are not as simple as, say, word processor file formats. Indeed, says Mundy, the BIN file extensions environment is a fast-changing target and can be a headache in its own right.

Written by Nicole Flatow
Over the past few months, African Americans and Hispanics have come forward about false arrests and aggressive treatment by New York department store employees and police that they say amounts to punishment for "shopping while black." According to anonymous accounts from New York officials, the state attorney general's office has received almost a dozen complaints of racial profiling while shopping at Macy's, and several from minorities shopping at high-end department store Barneys. Now that the attorney general's office and New York City's Commission on Human Rights are both investigating the stores' security practices, these stores and several others have issued a "Customers' Bill of Rights" that will be publicly posted at stores.
The document "strictly prohibits unreasonable searches and/or the profiling of customers by any employee," and states that employers may detain shoppers only with "reasonable grounds to believe that the person so detained was guilty of criminal possession of an anti-security item or was committing or attempting to commit shoplifting on the premises." Punishment for violating the document may include discipline or termination of relevant employees. The document includes the phone numbers for the New York City Commission on Human Rights, the state Division of Human Rights and the manager of each store. Other participating stores include Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and the Gap.
Public attention to profiling of shoppers escalated after widespread news reports about 19-year-old Trayon Christian, who said he was detained by police after he walked out of high-end department store Barneys with a $350 Salvatore Ferragamo belt he purchased. According to a lawsuit Christian filed, a clerk who asked him for identification during his purchase had reported that the purchase was fraud, and police held Christian in continued skepticism even after he produced his receipt, the debit card he used to make the purchase and his identification.
A day later, 21-year-old Kayla Phillips told the New York Post of an almost identical incident when she walked out of Barneys with a $2,500 handbag purchase, and several reports emerged about similar incidents at Macy's. Actor Ron Brown, who is on the HBO series "Treme," said he was handcuffed after he bought a $1,000 watch for his mother. Several Hispanic women, including NYPD officer Jenny Mendez, came forward to say they had been wrongfully arrested after purchases at Macy's.
Macy's has a history of racial profiling. In 2005, it entered an agreement with the New York attorney general's office after an investigation found black and Hispanic shoppers were disproportionately stopped on suspicion of shoplifting. But that agreement ended in 2008. For Barneys, the recent reports may be the result of a new store policy that encouraged employees to "take chances" in stopping suspicious people to improve loss prevention.
The epidemic of what is now being called "shop and frisk," a riff on rampant NYPD "stop-and-frisks" of minorities that a federal judge deemed unconstitutional racial profiling, is likely exacerbated by policies that encourage rather than discourage unsubstantiated stops. But they are not limited to New York or to department stores.
"This happens to me and has happened to me all of my life," Marketplace Money host Carmen Wong Ulrich, who is Latino and Dominican, said of the recent incidents. "Security follows me, people assume that I'm going to return things — it just happened to me two weeks ago. The assumption is I can't afford my purchases."
Even President Obama said after a jury acquitted George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin: "There are very few African American men in this country who haven't had the experience of being followed when they were shopping in a department store. That includes me."

Boy cot the bastards.
In support of your non white compatriots, why doesn't everyone of all races boycott Macys and Barney's? Get their current staff and bosses sacked. Give them a Christmas they won't forget! HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!
Don't like hearing about these events happening. Will not shop in those stores. Don't understand how someone can be arrested when they have the receipt to prove they paid for something.
@Will R I have no complex of inferiority or superiority. And I am not profiling anyone.
@Lauren B I completely believe these things happen and it is insulting to ALL Americans.
@Pauline B I think everyone should boycott - not just minorities.
Agree Bruce K Don't they tag everything at Macy's now?
YES Priscilla L! Any form that allows me to choose 'other' for race I check that box and then write in HUMAN. "race" is a man-made idea, we are all human!
One of my law lecturers said he hoped he would be grabbed in a shop and accused of shoplifting. He'd have sued them for wrongful arrest, assault, battery, slander and a few others that I've forgotten.
Brian F: The majority of people on public assistance in this country are white, and have been since welfare reform in the mid 90s. The South is full of white people who've perfected the art of multigenerational welfare enrollment, getting their children labelled as disabled in grade school. You'll be pleased to hear that they share your views of minorities.
The color of the person isn't the only issue. What you wear into the store shows things too. I did an experiment, about the profiling game. I went into a 'high' class clothing store on market street, San Francisco. I had at least one person by me the whole time I was in the store. I took my time looking and pretending I did not see I was being followed around. I tried on the dresses, and when I went out to the main room of the store...there was more then 1 person following me. But I just headed to the counter with my choices. I was not carrying a purse, but when I pulled out a 'wad' of cash, the personal was all smiles, the tension dropped quickly, and the store personal went about their business.
I never went back to that store. That was many years ago. Today I might have been arrested.
As for my 'color' I'm Italian, and have people think I'm different nationalities.
Prejudice is a bad social issue and needs to be addressed with a heart.
Brian F - I wrote frank f in my response to your racist, factually inaccurate post, but boy did I have you pegged correctly for being a real honest to goodness racist! Thank you so much for removing any doubts. Now could you please go to your aryan nation or kkk meeting, they are waiting for you. In the future I shall not respond to your insane comments. Do so thank you however for a really good laugh and showing your ugly colors.
All I can say is this is New York again. I don't see how they can be arrested when they can proved receipts for their purchases. How are the cops justifying this and WHY would the stores want this type of bad pulicity. Get the word out and name all the stores. People can ALWAYS go elsewhere and even online.
Brian F - go spout your racist bigotry somewhere else. Thank the Gods that real people don;t have to live in the world you;re envisioning.
I wonder how many actual shop lifters got away with some nice loot while the store employees were harrasing legitimate shoppers?
Serves 'em right.

Steelers GM Kevin Colbert keeps it real: "You could also argue that we lost pieces from an 8-8 team"
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 3/20/13
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert is a straight shooter, and doesn't want to cry over a team that didn't make the playoffs in 2012. Following Colbert is refreshing because he doesn't put the beer goggles on; he confronts an issue head on, and shoots from the hip. Colbert spoke about his team stating they have the 'wants' not the 'needs,' and they are moving forward sifting through free agency doing it the Steeler way. Colbert spoke from Phoenix as the NFL convened for its annual spring meetings. "You could obviously say that we lost starters and some starters have left us," Colbert said, via Bob Labriola of Steelers.com. "To this point we re-signed one starter and that would be Ramon Foster. Of course, Greg Warren is our starting long-sapper, and we've tried to add some complimentary pieces. We are still evolving as a roster, and I don't think that part of it will be completely done until we get through the draft and the college free agents. There's still time in free agency to make moves, and the draft will provide the final pieces that we're going to put back together with the roster." "Only time will tell," added Colbert when asked to assess how this will impact the team's record in 2013. "We'll see where that goes. You could also argue that we lost pieces from an 8-8 team. So, can we get better? We hope. Had we re-signed folks, we were hoping to be better but now that we didn't we have to find replacements, again, via free agency or the draft. We hope that we ultimately are a better team." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

• Get social - Organize a lunchtime walking group. You might be surrounded by people who are ready to lace up their walking shoes - and hold each other accountable for regular exercise. Enjoy the camaraderie, and offer encouragement to one another when the going gets tough.
• Conduct meetings on the go - When it's practical, schedule walking meetings or brainstorming sessions. Do laps inside your building or, if the weather cooperates, take your walking meetings outdoors.
• Pick up the pace - If your job involves walking, do it faster. Keep your chin up and your shoulders slightly back - and remember to breathe freely while you walk.
• If you travel for work, plan ahead - If you're stuck in an airport waiting for a plane, grab your bags and take a brisk walk. Choose a hotel that has fitness facilities - such as treadmills, weight machines or a pool - or bring your equipment with you. Jump-ropes and resistance bands are easy to sneak into a suitcase. Of course, you can do jumping jacks, crunches and other simple exercises without any equipment at all.
Remember that anything is better than nothing. Make it fun and get others involved. You will feel better, refreshed, and have a more productive day with a little movement added in.

30 year old man | Baltimore, MD, USA | Seeking women 20-30 within 25 miles
Two weeks till Opening Day!!
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Dave, I am 28 years young, and live in the great city of Baltimore. I work in the IT field (shocker, I know) as a Systems Analyst for a local school system. I'm a bit of a nerd, but I guess it comes with the territory. Also I'm a big Baltimore sports fan, supporting the O's and Ravens as much as I can. Soccer is another huge passion of mine, I used to play when I was younger, but now pretty much just a fan, used. Also really into my music, mainly punk rock, some of my favorite bands include Alkaline Trio, Gaslight Anthem, Against Me! Motion City Soundtrack, Say Anything. Love going to live shows, venues from the Verizon Center to the Ottobar, doesn't matter. I'm easy going, motivated, talks fast when I get worked up about something, and hates onions. So now I guess onto what I am looking for. Just a normal well rounded person, that may share a common interest or two. Worst case scenario, I meet some new people, and maybe a new friend or two. Keeping things brief for now, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

One expense around the house that seemed unnecessary was the cost of hand soap. In D.C., it's gone up to $3.50 for a bottle of Method foam pump hand soap, and while we both appreciated the benefit of clean hands, we were wary to make this purchase a second time. Our solution? Diluting Dawn's new Direct Foam for dishes into the used bottle. We found that three or four pumps of Dawn, combined with water, provided enough soap to keep our hands clean and it costs us pennies to refill rather than dollars. The good news is that Dawn is regularly on sale, and coupons, of course, are always a hit.

Take advantage of warmer weather by hosting an outdoor brunch serving an egg-tastic recipe that's sure to please your friends and family. Eggs Benedict Casserole is a do-it-yourself version of the restaurant classic, combining traditional ingredients with a spicy twist. Requiring only one dish for baking and serving, this recipe is perfect for special occasions and celebrations, or casual weekend brunches at home.
Here's a list of items to consider when preparing for your outdoor brunch:
The Ninth Annual Hoops Dreams and Goals 2013 competition is set for March 22 at the Dorothy Garrett Coliseum.
"Hoops, Dreams and Goals is an exhilarating event that we use to celebrate intellectual and developmental disabilities awareness month and to kickoff our spring to coincide with all the March Madness Basketball Tournaments going on across the nation," said West Texas Centers CEO Shelley Smith, LMSW.
"It's just a fun event that brings our entire community together and gives our athletes a chance at some friendly competition."
A Nolan County Grand Jury indicted eight people this week, with five of those indictments sealed.
Alfonso Arevalo, 31, of Sweetwater, was indicted for burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit aggravated robbery, a first degree felony.
Sweetwater Chief of Police Brian Frieda stated that at approximately 10:40 p.m. on Jan. 10, the Sweetwater Police Department responded to a call of shots fired at the 1700 block of Pease. While en route to the location, officers received a call from Rolling Plains Memorial Hospital stating that an individual in the Emergency Room had been shot.
If you're looking for a great way to usher in the spring season this weekend, your search can come to an end. The 2013 Nolan County United Way (NCUW) Golf Tournament will be held this Saturday at the Sweetwater Country Club with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.
This year's tournament will honor the life and service of the late Charles Roberson, who passed away in July 2012. He served on the NCUW board of directors for more than ten years and was also involved in many community activities and organizations.
Kenneth Acorn, 23 was arrested for possession of controlled substance in a drug free zone and warrants on Tuesday.
The Sweetwater Police Department received a complaint about loud music at the car wash around 12:30 p.m. Upon arrival, police arrested Acorn, as he had an outstanding warrant, and in the process, retrieved suspected crack cocaine, marijuana and money from Acorn's vehicle.

28 year old woman | McCordsville, IN, USA | Seeking men 24-28 within 50 miles
I've been through four years of nursing school, and I still feel that laughter is the best medicine.
I am an eternal optimistic who lives a very blessed life. My family is about as wonderful as a family could get, and I owe my classic upbringing to them. I'm proud to be in a profession that is geared towards helping people in times of need, and I love that my job is full of opportunities for learning. I care for my patients as if they were each a part of my family. Although my job can be extremely serious and sad at times, I am probably the most cheerful person in the world. I'm quite goofy, too. I spend most of my day smiling and telling really bad jokes and puns to my friends and co-workers. I've been through four years of nursing school, and I still feel that laughter is the best medicine. I look forward to my life everyday, and I try never to take anything for granted. Although I am very happy with my status quo, I hope the future is full of new opportunities and endeavors. I love spending evenings out on the town, going to concerts in the summer, planning parties for my friends, and exploring new places in Indy. On the other hand, I enjoy hosting movie and game nights at my house, baking good old fashion cookies, and spending quality time with my family. I am a planner, and I always love to plan vacations with family or friends. I think that if I ever won the lottery (which it would be quite hard to win because I don't play...) I would rather spend the money on new experiences in new places vs material items. So many of my favorite memories have vacation as a common theme. I hope that someday I will meet a man that makes me laugh everyday. I'm eager to meet someone who values family, faith, and education. I want someone who is able to see the good in people and enjoy all this world has to offer but knows when to take life seriously. Someday I wish to settle down and raise a family, and I hope my partner wants the same. I want to meet someone who enjoys life just as much as I do!

Traveling is my absolute favorite thing to do. I plan vacations as much as my schedule/budget allows. I love the coast of California, the beaches of the outer banks, and anywhere that includes nature. My favorite place in the world, though, is Disney
Ball State University, Muncie, IN
Music: I love country (as long is it isn't too twangy), I also love oldies and good ole classics like Tom Petty and Jimmy Buffett. Shows: I love Grey's Anatomy and Modern Family. And I'm always up for a good Friends rerun.
I'm up for anything in my free time. I love going out to eat, exploring downtown, hiking at nearby parks, watching the Colts, baking, and catching up with my friends. I always love going new places and trying new things.
I just re-read The Giver, which is one of my all time favorites.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Some residents of the Connecticut community devastated by December's school shooting said they're outraged over robocalls they've received from the National Rifle Association only three months after a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Newtown residents said the automated calls from the NRA began last week and urge people to tell their state legislators to oppose gun control proposals. Some also said they received postcards from the NRA supporting gun owners' rights.
"It's ridiculous and insensitive," Newtown resident Dan O'Donnell told Hartford-area NBC affiliate WVIT-TV, one of several media organizations to report about the robocalls. "I can't believe an organization would be so focused on the rights of gun owners with no consideration for the losses this town suffered."
A message seeking comment was left Monday at the NRA's headquarters in Fairfax, Va.
Like Congress and other state legislatures, Connecticut's General Assembly has been considering gun control measures in the wake of the school shootings, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
The NRA strongly opposes many gun control proposals including an assault weapons ban, saying government officials should better enforce existing gun laws and not impede on people's Second Amendment rights.

According to reports, Sergio Garcia has heard the heckles all week at Merion Golf Club during the U.S. Open. After his racist comment about Tiger Woods a few weeks ago, it only figured. However, Saturday the fans decided to get a little more specific with Garcia. Garcia began his day at 6-over par after shooting consecutive 73s on Thursday on Friday. Garcia started on the 11th hole Saturday, and before even taking his tee shot the ribbing began. As Garcia was about to take his tee shot, someone in the gallery yelled "Fried chicken!" as soon as things got quiet, so the comment was clearly audible. Check out the heckling in the video below.

We'll see what happens
I'm not on here to fool around. I'm paying to be on this site. Don't waste my time and I won't waste yours :) Having said that, I'm looking for someone who's pretty, smart, independent, Self-confident (insecurity is a huge turn off for me) Someone who sets goals and achieves them, no matter how difficult. And finally, someone who isn't affraid of complete randomness, because that is totally me! lol I'm completely Independent, and have earned everything I have. Mommy and daddy didn't buy me my first car or pay for my college, which in turn has taught me how to fend for myself. I own my own home, a couple cars, and a few investment propertys. (Not bragging, just letting you know) :) I'm blessed and thankful for everything I have especially my awsome friends and family. I haven't been to a bar or club forever, which makes it hard to meet new people. I suppose I got bored with it, so I'm giving this another shot. I haven't had a serious girlfriend for about four years now. I am picky, but it's helped me figure out what I really want in a lifetime partner. I'm happy being single, so I don't need a relationship... I want one. In turn, I suppose I'm looking for the same. I don't want a girl that needs me(I can find them down in the welfare line) I want a girl that is content with her life, but wants me. Things I enjoy: - Road trips with friends - Movies (all kinds) - Hanging out with friends - Concerts (all kinds, from classical to country to rock) - Sporting events - Trying new food/restaurants/activities - Football - People that don't take themselves too seriously - A word fitly spoken - Clothes that fit well - Modern design/furniture Things I dislike: - Clutter - Nagging - Smoking - Angry people - Negative people - People that want to tell you about all their problems. Like I always say, "I don't wanna hear about your problems, we all got 'em." - People that are lazy/inconsiderate of others. It's your trash, pick it up. It might not even hurt you to pick up someone else's trash. Flush the toilet, wash your hands. You get the idea. - People that talk too much Turn ons: - Good sense of humor - Sarcasm - Good grammar - Family values; no I'm not a prude, but there are boundaries - Being neat (yah I'm checking out the background of your pics to see how clean your room is) - Decent physical shape. You don't have to be a stick, - Self-discipline - Hard- working (as I basically stated before) Bonus round: - Things that make me pause on your profile and maybe even message you - proper clothing, pictures of you having fun, nice smile, educated, funny tagline or profile that makes me smile, - Things that make me skip over your profile or lose some interest - duck face pictures, pics of you in a bikini or similar attire (yah we all like to look, but that's about all you're gonna get), poor spelling, incoherent sentences, no job, young with little or no education. Ok I think Ive about covered everything. Haha hope I didn't bore you to death, or offend you. I'm just not the type to beat around the bush. Like I said before, I won't waste your time. If you made it this far I'll let you in on a little secret. If I'm interested in talking to you, I'll send you a wink. No need to write long awkward letters, not knowing if you're interested or not. If you'd like to talk, wink back and we'll go from there:) If not, no hard feelings and I truely hope you find what you're looking for. :)

10 Reasons to Love the Spring Plant Sale
1. Free admission. It doesn't cost a dime to attend informative gardening seminars, children's activities, tour the scenic botanical gardens' exhibits and trails and shop for plants and garden/landscape-related arts and crafts.
2. View the Orchid House and Rose Garden at peak bloom. Feast your eyes on the 8,000 plants of new annual color, and enjoy the intoxicating scent of Confederate Jasmine blossoms.
3. Ladybug release. The release of 80,000 ladybugs into four gardens is beneficial to plants and the environment and is fun to watch.
4. Have questions answered. Nueces County Master Gardeners and botanical gardens staff will be on site to help with horticulture questions.
5. A supervised children's learning area. Activities are taught by Nueces County Master Gardeners. In addition to face painting and a moonwalk, kids can take part in pot painting or start their own plant. "Show and grow sombreros," custom-made hats out of recycled newspaper, will be available.
6. Preview the new plumeria exhibit. It's under construction, but includes a new viewing platform that allows visitors to get a "bird's-eye view" of blooming plumeria.
