LOWVILLE While Lewis County General Hospital officials have scrapped a plan to remove their highest-paid employees from the state pension system, they are taking steps to keep new doctors out of the increasingly costly program.
The hospital has formed Lowville Medical Practice PLLC, with plans to hire any future physicians as employees of that corporation, not the municipal facility itself.
With pension costs increasing more than 300 percent over the past several years, we looked at alternatives to the New York State retirement system to identify an option that allows us to offer attractive retirement benefits while controlling the hospitals costs, said a fact sheet from the county-owned hospital. We believe the best option is to create a professional limited liability corporation.
While many doctors here are independent contractors with their own health insurance and retirement plans, the facility over the past several years has brought in many hospital-employed physicians who are eligible for state retirement benefits and the countys health insurance plan.
That strategy was commended recently by a consultant from Stroudwater Associates, who suggested that ongoing federal health care reforms will, in a few years, benefit hospitals that employ primary care doctors. However, that has contributed to operating deficits under the current fee-for-service system, particularly with the skyrocketing pension payments that are based partly on employee income.
While the PLLC wont affect any current employees, it could offer future savings by granting new doctors a private retirement package comparable to the state system that would be less costly to the hospital, said Timothy W. Ryan, human resources director for both the hospital and the county.
Private retirement plans also are more easily transferred than the state system, which is available only to those deemed municipal employees, Mr. Ryan said.
As with municipalities throughout the state, Lewis County General Hospital has seen a large spike in payments into the state retirement system over the past several years.
Annual pension costs at the facility, payable to the state each December, have grown from $1.6 million in 2009 to $4.8 million for this year and a projected $5.6 million next year.
Hospital officials last fall initially talked about pulling the facilitys eight-person administrative team from the state retirement system by moving the employees under a limited liability corporation.
County lawmakers at the time even passed a resolution allowing the administrators to get back into the countys health plan upon retirement, giving them an incentive to stay on if that LLC had come to fruition.
However, following consultations with legal counsel, that idea was dismissed because of uncertainty with some provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act, particularly a determination on how health insurance claims will be handled for group-insured versus self-insured people, Mr. Ryan said.
Chances are we couldve passed the test, he said.
If not, however, any claims for administrators in the proposed LLC could have added to their taxable income, and states will not be required to establish those rules until 2014, Mr. Ryan said.
Hospital officials decided that keeping administrators and current staff physicians as municipal employees, while shifting only future doctor hires, would be the safest and most easily implemented way to help control future retirement costs, he said.

I'd say this is a marked improvement on the current real-world location, wouldn't you? More rubble to stand atop, giant tentacle monsters being fired on by military helicopters. This is the New York City I fell in love with as a child — the city constantly under attack by flesh-craving monsters.
While we wait for the game's first raid, August 28 sees the release of the game's second monthly update. Issue 2: Digging Deeper brings a slew of new quest content, the ability to undergo cosmetic surgery and the introduction of auxiliary weapons, in this case a bazooka.
Auxiliary weapons will have seven different skills, located in an additional outer circle being added to the game's ability wheel. An eight hotbar slot will be added to accommodate the new gear. Mmmm, three weapons.
Looks like I'll let my subscription fee be taken out of my PayPal account for another month!

Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton has ordered new embossed dog license tags in response to criticism the citys current sticker dog license tags do not provide enough information to help reunite lost dogs with their owners.
The city has been issuing stickers with new identification numbers to be placed onto old state Department of Agriculture and Market tags.
But St. Lawrence Valley Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Board President Karen Cunningham said the stickers can wear off, like they did for her dog, Max, within days.
Dog owners are not aware of how important the information on the sticker is to identifying their dog, she said.
Ms. Cunningham said if a lost dog is picked up without a sticker, it can make it impossible for the SPCA to trace its owner. She said Agriculture and Markets disbanded its dog license database in 2011, and tag information is the only way for owners to get their dogs back.
Mr. Pinkerton said Wednesday the initial decision to have sticker tags instead of embossed tags was made to cut costs, not to impede the SPCA.
We are usually very cautious about every penny we spend, Mr. Pinkerton said.
The City Clerks Office has ordered 10,000 new tags at a price of $1,700. Mr. Pinkerton said that the dog tags were ordered Aug. 12, and will take up to four to six weeks to be delivered.
The old tags were adequate, but these new tags will be much more permanent, so if someone wanted a tag with a stamp on the back we will provide them with one, Mr. Pinkerton said.
Ms. Cunningham said that as soon as the tags arrive, she will work with the city to begin notifying the public.
We dont want anyone to slip through the cracks, Ms. Cunningham said. It sounds like a minor thing, but all it takes is one lost animal. If this helps one animal get back home, its worth it.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

MELVILLE N.Y., February 21, 2013 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the introduction of its Canon MREAL System for Mixed Reality (MR), a new imaging solution that simultaneously merges virtual objects with the real world, at full scale and in three dimensions. By combining the rich, visual information of the real world and the flexibility offered by computer-generated images, MR offers an imaging experience that is a step ahead of existing virtual reality technology, which currently only produces computer-generated environments. The MREAL System and its associated professional services inclusive of MR implementation, integration to customer systems, and custom development can benefit companies in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, construction, aerospace, medical, defense, and entertainment, to name a few.
"In today's competitive markets, companies are constantly looking for solutions that can help them introduce new products to market in a timely and efficient fashion. The new Canon MREAL System for Mixed Reality allows decision-makers to evaluate a product's design and operability like never before," said Sam Yoshida, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions Group, Canon U.S.A. "Canon has a very strong commitment to the augmented reality space, and by leveraging our strong heritage and leadership in optics, we intend to deliver solutions based upon Mixed Reality for use in industries including manufacturing, aerospace and entertainment."
Key benefits of the MREAL System are:
The Canon MREAL System for Mixed Reality — which consists of a head-mounted display (HMD) HM-A1 and the MR Platform Software MP-100 — creates the illusion that computer-generated visuals exist within the real world by deploying the following Canon technologies:
Two video cameras inside the head-mounted display (HMD), located in front of each eye, capture video from the real world, which is then processed and sent to a computer. Using state-of-the-art Canon image processing and directional-sensor data, the computer-generated graphics and the real world are combined with high precision and are displayed on the small monitors located inside the head-mounted display (HMD).
An advanced optical system enlarges the video displayed on the small monitors to create high-impact, three-dimensional images. The innovative and patented free-form prism features a unique three-sided configuration that produces clear, solid-looking images with low distortion, reducing the impact of optical aberrations, even in peripheral areas, and further enhances the realism of the experience.
The MR Platform is designed to enhance a company's existing design workflow. The software integrates with leading design applications including Siemens PLM Software's NX™ software, a leading integrated solution for computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE), and the 3D visualization software RTT DeltaGen, which renders mixed reality images through the Canon head-mounted display, in lifelike realism.
Through Canon's Developer Support program, Canon also offers a MR Platform Software Development Kit. The MR SDK enables users to create software applications capable of leveraging Canon's MREAL System. The MR Platform SDK provides an ideal way to tightly integrate existing CAD and Graphic Design software with the Canon MREAL System.
"Canon's MR Platform SDK has proven to be an effective way of tightly integrating RTT's DeltaGen software with MREAL Product, said Hillary Forsythe, marketing director, RTT USA Inc. "The combination of RTT DeltaGen and Canon's MREAL Product provides an ideal solution to customers focused on lessening overall product development time, driving rapid prototyping and shortening go-to-market cycles."
A multitude of industries can leverage this enhanced rendering technology throughout the product lifecycle management (PLM) process to help streamline design processes, which can help get products to market quicker and can ultimately reduce costs. Automotive and manufacturing companies can utilize this solution at all stages of product development and a wide array of applications, including, but not limited to, digital prototyping, service training, plant design and factory layout. The Canon MREAL System has the capacity to expand virtually any existing design application in all sectors, including university research, entertainment and museum exhibits.
The Canon MREAL System for Mixed Reality, along with the services required to integrate into existing customer environments and applications, will be available immediately. Pricing will vary depending on system configurations and in accordance with usage requirements. More information on the Canon MREAL System for Mixed Reality can be found at www.usa.canon.com/mixedreality.

The internet gets tuneful
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, it's now possible to make music on your computer without even having to go to the trouble of installing an application. Assuming your machine is online, all you need to do is boot your browser and fire up one of the many web-based tools that are available.
To save you some trawling, MusicRadar is here to point you in the direction of a selection of the best online music making solutions. From full-on DAWs to web-based synths and other sound-making offerings, there's something for everyone to try.
NEXT: PowerFX Soundation Studio
PowerFX Soundation Studio
What does it do?
A full DAW in your web browser would have seemed impossible just a few years ago, but that's exactly what's on offer here. There's a hint of GarageBand to the interface, which gives a good clue as to the features on offer. Soundation takes a loop-based sequencing approach and offers virtual instruments and piano roll editing.
How well does it work?
Soundation is remarkable: a versatile DAW which lends itself to most production styles. With great virtual instruments and a decent collection of audio loops, it's quick and easy to get started.
What really blows our mind is the ability to record audio directly into your projects via your web browser. The app has been updated on a regular basis, so we're confident it'll continue to develop and evolve in the future.
Soundation is the perfect example of what web-based music tools have to offer, proving that the cloud computing model works surprisingly well for music production.
Open PowerFX Soundation Studio
Naïve Solutions Audio Sauna
What does it do?
The newest arrival on the web-based music scene is Audio Sauna, a DAW based around built-in virtual instruments. Launched as a public beta, Audio Sauna currently offers MIDI sequencing with FM and virtual analogue synths, plus a sampler complete with preset drum and instrument patches.
How well does it work?
Even at this early stage in its development, Audio Sauna has a lot to offer. Each instrument includes excellent real-time chorus, distortion and bitcrushing effects, while auxiliary delay and reverb sends are available through the mixer section.
The instruments themselves sound great, with a range of useable presets and incredibly versatile editing options. The analogue synth's impersonation of a Roland TB-303 is particularly impressive, serving up all the acidic bleeps and squelches you could ever need. The quality of Audio Sauna's instruments and effects alone suggest that it's going to be a serious contender as it matures.

Luckily for us, he often finds himself gravitating towards synths, which he says are "small enough that I can get them finished (mostly) before I get bored". Among the many synths on the site you'll find virtual recreations of the likes of the Roland SH-101, Minimoog, Yamaha CS-01 and - in this case – the Korg Monotribe.
How well does it work?
The Webotribe might just be the best of Shannon's creations - it actually offered a virtual version of the Korg Monotribe before the real thing even went on sale. A web-based emulation obviously lacks the hands-on appeal of the real thing, but the Webotribe's faithful imitation of the hardware's workflow makes it genuinely useable. The sound isn't identical, but it's close enough to trick most people.
Just like the Monotribe, the Webotribe is great fun and genuinely inspiring.

Hobnox Audiotool
What does it do?
Back when it first launched three years ago, Audiotool offered a revolutionary approach to web-based music-making. We've seen plenty of incredibly realistic Roland TR-909 and TB-303 emulations over the years, but by bringing them into our browsers, Audiotool gave us a real glimpse into the future of web-based music.
How well does it work?
Since its launch, Audiotool has developed into a full-on cloud-based production environment with great sequencing options, a range of drum and synth sounds and a variety of versatile effects. The workflow is slightly different to most DAWs, based around hooking up virtual wires to connect pieces of equipment, but it doesn't take long to get to grips with the approach.
The community aspect is also one of Audiotool's strongest features, with users able to share finished tracks and make them available for others to remix. No wonder Audiotool has built up a loyal following.

Andre Michelle Tonematrix
What does it do?
Audiotool is Andre Michelle's day job, but he also makes parts of the bigger app available separately through his personal website. Tonematrix is our favourite, a virtual instrument which draws inspiration from Yamaha's groundbreaking Tenori-on. Think of it as a polyphonic step sequencer triggering a simple sine wave-based instrument.
How well does it work?
Tonematrix is as simple as it gets. Use the 16x16 grid of buttons to program repeating patterns, then mutate and develop them as they loop. Copy and paste functions allow patterns to be stored and recalled, while the space bar wipes everything if you want to start from scratch.
The simplicity means that Tonematrix works incredibly well as a standalone tool, with absolutely no musical knowledge or experience required to get started. Don't be surprised to realise you've wasted a couple of hours just creating and developing melodic ideas.

What does it do?
The clumsily named as3sfxr, developed by Tom Vian, is the perfect example of a simple but incredibly useful web-based sound utility. as3sfxr is essentially a Flash port of sfxr, an open source tool originally developed by Tomas Petterson and described as "MS Paint for sound effects", which should give you some idea of the simplicity of its approach.
How well does it work?
as3sfxr makes it easy to create a wide variety of bleepy, lo-fi sound effects, drum samples and synth tones. Start with one of the generator presets - explosion, powerup, laser and so on - then mutate the sound or adjust parameters manually until you achieve the desired result. Even the randomize option often spits out great noises. Once you're happy, export your sound as a WAV file and load it in your DAW.
Whether triggered as one-shot FX or loaded as instrument patches in a sampler, sounds created in as3sfxr are perfect for adding a bit of 8-bit-style video game magic to your tracks.
Open as3sfxr
What does it do?
Another one to file under 'simple but addictive', Batuhan Bozkurt's Otomata app is a great generative sequencer that takes a unique approach.
Cells are set off along rows and columns, bouncing off walls and colliding with each other. Simple settings create melodies which repeat in short loops but more complex arrangements of cells will continue to evolve and develop over a much longer period of time, creating melodies and harmonies with a life of their own.
How well does it work?
Create an initial setting by making cells active in the 9x9 grid, then click Play to set them off. These cells then create tones each time they crash into a wall and rotate clockwise each time they collide. Built-in scales and modes ensure that everything stays in tune, while your project can be shared as a link or recorded and downloaded as a WAV file.

Indaba Music
What does it do?
Launched in 2007 and now firmly established as one of the most popular web-based music tools, Indaba Music is a recording environment which follows the crowd-sourcing model for collaborative projects, allowing users to recruit other members of the community for assistance in creating their songs.
How well does it work?
Tracks are recorded, edited and mixed directly through your web browser in the (slightly buggy) Indaba Console. Whether you want to remix someone else's song, contribute a track or two to an existing session or create a new project of your own, Indaba's integrated social network allows you to find and meet amateur and professional musicians from around the world. Search for users with the skills you need and then recruit a band and production team for your project.
Indaba Music genuinely breaks down geographical boundaries, which can only be a good thing for collaborative musicians.

What does it do?
For beginners and solo musicians, JamStudio offers something slightly different to most web-based tools. Based on just a few simple choices, the "online music factory" can create backing tracks and demos. Start by entering the chords of your track, then choose from a selection of guitar, synth, bass, piano and organ samples in order to construct a full arrangement.
How well does it work?
JamStudio isn't perfect - it certainly falls a long way short of allowing you the freedom to create full songs from scratch - but it gives you an easy way of trying out chord progressions and experimenting with alternative arrangements. We can't think of many quicker ways of putting together a backing track for a practice session.
Subscription is pricey but allows you to download MP3s of your creations. We'd give it a miss and just use the site to create quick and easy backing tracks.

Amongst the hoodies available are standard zip hoodies, along with similarly-styled garb for kids and dogs.
American Apparel
The brand American Apparel, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, conjures up images of stylish and well-fitting fashion basics. It also likely brings to mind sassy advertisements featuring long-haired beauties in natural makeup posing in skin-bearing bodysuits and loungewear.
But what many don't know about the brand—despite its name and the slice of apple pie that comes with every purchase—is that all of its clothes are made in America. Everything from sewing and cutting to accounting and marketing happens in one building in downtown Los Angeles, and the rest occurs within a 30-mile radius. Not only that, every slim-fitting pair of pants, spandex bodysuit, and v-neck T-shirt is made in a sweatshop-free environment.
Plus, keeping everything in house means the company eliminates unnecessary and wasteful factors, such as shipping fuel and packing materials, as well as provides jobs to Angelenos, instead of outsourcing them.
89% of 12,335 customers recommend
"Great service"
"I love American Apparel. Great quality at a good price"

PA/NJ, NEW JERSEY -- Replaced all our kitchen appliances and washer dryer, Spirit did damage to the back splash, the microwave installed incorrectly and held up by one screw. Never leveled the gas range. Told me the opening for the fridge was only 35 1/2 inches. Funny how the 36" fridge fits just fine. Borrowed our tools and step ladder, left wood shavings all over.
When we called to complain they were extremely rude, never followed up and now dealing with insurance companies. We refused to sign off on the installation and wanted to write comments on the document. The installer refused to let us do so. We had to call the police to extract him from our home. Do not let this company in your home.
CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA -- We special ordered a refrigerator from Home Depot through its website. Spirit Delivery is apparently their national third party contractor for appliance deliveries. Delivery was scheduled for the following Saturday. Spirit would not give us a time until the evening before, and even then would confirm only a four hour window. Follow up call was received Saturday morning from Spirit indicating that drivers were 30 minutes out. Some 45 minutes later and there's still no refrigerator.
Then we receive a phone call from the Spirit Delivery dispatcher. Truck driver is parked at the end of our driveway and is unwilling to drive down our driveway because the driveway is long and he can see snow on the driveway. None of this should be shocking to Spirit's people because it, in fact, was snowing lightly on the date of the scheduled delivery. Further, we live in the Northeast where there has been an unusual amount of snowfall this year, so the ground on either side of the driveway has 7-8 inches of standing snow on it.
That said, our driveway is level and paved. It has been plowed since the last significant snow. My wife and I have been driving up and down the driveway for the last several days without incident. Moreover, I have used ice melt in the section of the driveway near our home so that area is largely free from ice. All of this is relayed through the dispatcher to Spirit's delivery driver. Still they refuse to drive down our driveway.
Although Spirit offered to reschedule delivery, they would not tell us when. Presumably, we are supposed to wait for the Spring thaw when I'm sure the excuse preventing delivery will be that there are grass clippings or something on the driveway. Net result: we have canceled our order with Home Depot. We will NEVER order another appliance from Home Depot that requires delivery for so long as they are using Spirit as their contractor for deliveries. Spirit has wasted our time and my family must go another week without a refrigerator.
Further, Home Depot is making the process of canceling the order and getting a refund unnecessarily tedious and drawn out. Home Depot claims that they cannot process a refund until the refrigerator is returned by the delivery vendor to the warehouse. Even then, the refund won't be processed automatically. Home Depot is placing the onus on us to call them and confirm whether the fridge has made back to the warehouse. Thereafter, we must coordinate a refund with the local store even though the order came through Home Depot's website.
Horrible experience. Steer far clear of Spirit. Think twice before purchasing a major appliance from Home Depot if you require that it be delivered. I suggest before purchasing any appliance for which delivery is required that you inquire after the identity of the third party delivery contractor and go elsewhere if they are using Spirit.
VERMONT -- It is not about Spirit Delivery people not being on time, being late or taking more than few days to deliver goods. Reading all the bad reviews I am just reminded of what is happening to me right now. They are rude. They are unreliable. They are one bad company. I was told of my delivery day before. Delivery 'window' came and went .... Nothing. Called them next day. No sorry, no we feel bad, just a new delivery date. This one 5 days after the first one. Took time off again to wait for this jokers. Got a call at 10 PM(that's right 10PM) asking me if I would like to reschedule. I said no. Next call came at 12:30. Half hour after midnight. Would I care to reschedule now? I said no! That is last I heard from them. It's now days later. I have contacted Home Depot. Thinking about canceling order. P.S. I also left two messages with both dispatch and warehouse. No call back. I do not think of myself as the center of the universe. I just want to be able to go on with my life. I have cleared room for my delivery. Now when I need to use laundry I have to walk outside of my house to get into my basement. Can not afford any more days off! I need an onion or a can of beans. Sorry, walk out, open metal trap door and get it. And did I mention that the light switch is on the top of the stairs? Go back into the house, lights on, back out trough the metal trap door( yep it's raining right now so I have to keep it closed) and have to make sure to carry a list of things I need, because I have had it with this outdoor laundry/pantry/tool room.
FRANKLIN, MASSACHUSETTS -- I ordered a clothes dryer with installation and removal of my old dryer. Spirit delivery services showed up on time and refused to install the steam hose on the dryer, at first they told me I didn't order the parts. I told them I did and they then gave me the hoses, but refused to install them as they had a policy not to disconnect the existing hose from the washing machine. I offered to disconnect the hose, but wanted to make sure the steam function worked.
The delivery person became rude, told me that I had to sign a waiver of installation or he would take the dryer back, as I was talking to Home Depot customer service, delivery person refused to talk to them and began pulling dryer back. It got so contentious I almost called the police, as I had already paid for the dryer. I signed the waiver under duress!
Home Depot acted in a helpful manner. Spirit Delivery is the worst experience I have ever had. Rude unprofessional and will never allow them near my house again! They told me that they had 20 more deliveries and were not spending any more time at my house and forced me to sign the waiver. They were out of providence RI. Beware of this company.
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA -- I purchased a refrigerator from Home Depot on 6/9/13, they scheduled delivery for Friday. Delivery company called and said it would be delivered between 4-8 PM. On Friday afternoon driver called said he was running late, they would deliver by 9 PM. 9 pm still no delivery!! Called the number for their Customer Service, she checked with the driver. He said he would be at my home in 20 mins. Well here it is Saturday morning, still no refrigerator and now they are telling me it will be TUESDAY! They are the worst representative ever for Home Depot!! GE Logistics should be ashamed to have contracted with these idiots!!!
NEW PROVIDENCE, NEW JERSEY -- Delivery service people showed up on Friday 3/15/13 to install a gas dryer in my house. One of the delivery people assured me he knew what he was doing and proceeded to [break] the valve on the gas line. Not only did he [break] it but he left saying he checked for gas leaks and there was none. Gas company had to come out and shut off gas. It is now a week later and I have no dryer and am still trying to get these people to fix what they broke. All at this company are incompetent. All they do is give you the runaround. Home Depot is crazy for having this company deliver any of their products.
NEW PROVIDENCE, NEW JERSEY -- We bought our LG dishwasher at Home Depot and they use Spirit Delivery to deliver and install their appliances. One of the selling points was that Home Depot offered free delivery and installation. It turns out that you get what you pay for. The installation crew arrived at our house on Monday morning and within minutes they said that they could not install the dishwasher because they could not turn our shut off valve. It had some hard water build-up and they said it was not operational and we would have to have it repaired by a plumber. We had a plumber there within hours and he said there was nothing wrong with the shut-off valve. In fact, he was able to easily turn it by hand.
I called Spirit Delivery and was told that the soonest they could re-schedule was in several days, which would have caused us to miss the Energy Star Rebate (which was another selling point and the reason we bought the dishwasher now instead of later).
My wife and I both talked to **, who said she was the supervisor but she was not authorized to give out her last name. She sounded like she was about 21 years old and would have rather been updating her FaceBook status than talking to us. She also was rude and interrupted me several times. She did not seem to care about helping us with our situation at all. I had to ask her repeatedly for her supervisor's name and finally got it. I will not share his last name here but if you have trouble with her, just ask for **. It was very difficult to get any information from her. She said there was no one above her but when I asked if she owned the company she, of course, said "No".
She really has no business taking calls at all, much less supervising others. **, on the other hand, was very polite and seemed like he wanted to help but there was not much he could do for me. Despite **'s insistence that we could not get a delivery date sooner than Thursday, we got out machine installed later that night by emailing Spirit Delivery from their website and calling several people at Home Depot and the local warehouse.
The dishwasher is now installed but it is crooked and not flush with the cabinets or countertop. We will have to uninstall it this weekend and do it ourselves. We should not have had to work so hard for our "free" delivery and we will think twice about purchasing appliances at any retailer that used Spirit.
WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA -- Can you give a negative star rating? This is absolutely the worst delivery service. Had delivery scheduled for Saturday. No show, no call. Of course closed on Sunday. Called Monday and was told that they will deliver it today between 3:45 pm and 7 pm. They called at 4 pm and said they will be here in 30 minutes. Rushed home from work early, waited and waited. No delivery. Was told they ran into installation problems at another stop.
Then Spirit called and asked how our installation went. WE NEVER GOT THE DISHWASHER.. They said the driver installed it and then they left. NOT AT MY HOUSE. They deliver for Home Depot and and Best Buy. Ask to use a different delivery service if you buy from of these retailers. UNBELIEVABLE.
After having to go through Home Depot and LG 3 times to have my washer and dryer delivered (there were major dents in each delivery I received) and on the last delivery my dryer was dented all the way down one side. The delivering crew were very rough with my appliances.
At this point I was very mad and called LG'S manager and by the time I got on the phone with the manager the two delivery men said that their manager said they had to leave and couldn't install my washer. I had ordered hoses with the washer and dryer and both delivery guys said they didn't have any hoses with them even though I had ordered them. I am very pissed off with this company and do not want them ever to deliver anything at my house ever again. I seriously feel like this company should be shut down...
PENNSYLVANIA -- I purchased an appliance from Home Depot 2 weeks ago and was told that it had to be special ordered. I advised them that I needed a delivery on Saturday. A delivery was scheduled from 9-12 pm on Saturday. I had other engagements scheduled for that morning so I contacted the delivery service (Spirit Delivery from NJ) and asked for a weekday evening delivery. I was told that a delivery request would be put in for after 3 pm on Wed. I received a phone call the day before stating that they would deliver 7 am in the morning which was not possible because no one would be home.
I got angry because I had already made arrangements for evening--spoke to a manager that seemed to care less and stated that I would have to reschedule. I told them that I would be going back to Home Depot to get my money back. I called HD and spoke with a manager that did not care either. After cooling off, I called back to reschedule. The person on the phone did not mute the call and stated "It's so and so **, the one that was acting like a B." Upon hearing this I asked repeated what he said and the employee hung up the phone on me.
BAD SERVICE, BAD ATTITUDES AND NOT FLEXIBLE TO WORK WITH CLIENTS. Due to this situation I will no longer spend my money in Home Depot.

They survived two seasons apiece on both CBS's Survivor and The Amazing Race and even their own FOX reality show, Rob and Amber: Against the Odds. Now Amber and Rob Mariano are taking on their most daunting challenge yet – parenthood.
Amber, 30, gave birth to daughter Lucia Rose on the Fourth of July at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Fla., Rob, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
With a first name of Italian origin meaning "light of God" and a middle name as a tribute to her paternal grandmother, who died on the Fourth of July, Lucia Rose Mariano arrived weighing 6 lbs., 11.5 oz. and measuring 19 Ľ-in. long. "Both mom and baby are healthy and doing great," says Rob.
"Lucia is a great eater and sleeps a lot, however she tends to be a bit of a night owl like her daddy at times," he adds. "She is a perfect baby and we could not have asked for anything more. We are over the moon with happiness at her arrival!"
Kids Always in the Plan
Amber Brkich competed on Survivor: The Australian Outback, which aired in 2001. Rob Mariano was first seen on Survivor: Marquesas in 2002. Both formed a winning alliance on Survivor: All-Stars, which concluded with Rob's on-air proposal to Amber during the May 9, 2004 finale. After competing on the seventh season of The Amazing Race as an engaged couple, the two wed on April 16, 2005. In 2007, they took on The Amazing Race again during its All-Star season.
In 2005, Amber told PEOPLE: "We both come from a family of three kids, so I would like to have three kids, but you never know what happens, so hopefully we are blessed with at least one child and then we would both like to adopt one day if possible."
Two years later, she spoke to PEOPLE about their plans to have children. "We definitely want a family and we've been talking about it," Amber said. "But I think it was also important for us to spend the first couple of years just the two of us together." Rob added, "We are not trying right away but when it happens, it happens."

This recipe is from
YIELD: Makes 24 tacos
- 40 dried guajillo chiles
- 20 dried ancho chiles
- 20 dried pasilla negro chiles
- 2 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 9 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seed, toasted and ground (page 164)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano, toasted and ground (page 161)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 6 ounces cola
- 8 ounces Mexican beer
- 4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 24 (5 1/2-inch) soft white corn tortillas (page 13), for serving
- Garnish: Caramelized diced pineapple
Stem, seed, and rehydrate the dried chiles (page 153). Drain and set aside, reserving the soaking liquid.
In a small saucepan, simmer the orange juice over medium-low heat until reduced by half; set aside. In the jar of a blender, puree the rehydrated chiles until smooth, adding some of the soaking water, if needed, to achieve a smooth consistency.
In a large bowl, add the reduced orange juice, pureed chiles, orange zest, brown sugar, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, vinegar, lime juice, cola, and beer and stir to mix well. Add the pork, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade and drain well. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the pork pieces until the meat is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve right away or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with pineapple and salsa. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with pineapple and salsa, fold, and eat right away.

12 U.S. Code § 375a - Loans to executive officers of banks
(1) General prohibition; authorization for extension of credit; conditions for credit
Except as authorized under this section, no member bank may extend credit in any manner to any of its own executive officers. No executive officer of any member bank may become indebted to that member bank except by means of an extension of credit which the bank is authorized to make under this section. Any extension of credit under this section shall be promptly reported to the board of directors of the bank, and may be made only if—
(D) it is on condition that it shall become due and payable on demand of the bank at any time when the officer is indebted to any other bank or banks on account of extensions of credit of any one of the three categories respectively referred to in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) in an aggregate amount greater than the amount of credit of the same category that could be extended to him by the bank of which he is an officer.
(2) Mortgage loans
A member bank may make a loan to any executive officer of the bank if, at the time the loan is made—
(A) it is secured by a first lien on a dwelling which is expected, after the making of the loan, to be owned by the officer and used by him as his residence, and
(3) Educational loans
A member bank may make extensions of credit to any executive officer of the bank to finance the education of the children of the officer.
(4) General limitation on amount of credit
A member bank may make extensions of credit not otherwise specifically authorized under this section to any executive officer of the bank, in an amount prescribed in a regulation of the member bank's appropriate Federal banking agency.
(5) Partnership loans
Except to the extent permitted under paragraph (4), a member bank may not extend credit to a partnership in which one or more of its executive officers are partners having either individually or together a majority interest. For the purposes of paragraph (4), the full amount of any credit so extended shall be considered to have been extended to each officer of the bank who is a member of the partnership.
(6) Endorsement or guarantee of loans or assets; protective indebtedness
This section does not prohibit any executive officer of a member bank from endorsing or guaranteeing for the protection of the bank any loan or other asset previously acquired by the bank in good faith or from incurring any indebtedness to the bank for the purpose of protecting the bank against loss or giving financial assistance to it.
(7) Continuation of violation
Each day that any extension of credit in violation of this section exists is a continuation of the violation for the purposes of section 1818 of this title.

Mind in Matter: Constructions of the Built Environment
Joshua Ippel:
Beneath our feet and above our heads, sidewalks, lawns, plazas, blocks, gardens, buildings, streets, and curbs surround and bound the spaces in which we move and live. Much more than a lifeless negative space, these elements of the built environment provide us with symbols through which we construct our understanding of the world, deriving stories about our past, present and future.
At the same time, architects, planners, and designers, acting under the influence of political, social, and economic forces, tear down, alter, construct, and preserve these physical forms in an attempt to shape the environment along socio-political and aesthetic lines.

The average professional athlete in the United States makes more money in a year than the average American does in a lifetime so why are sports stars going bankrupt at an alarming rate. Sarah Halpin Certified Financial Planner and Vice President with The Danforth Group of Wells Fargo Advisors has tips on how you can help make sure you don't make the same mistakes.
1. Don't assume good times will last. In professional sports, young athletes often assume their careers will last decades. However, due to injuries and intense competition for jobs, the average career spans can be as short as 4 - 5 years. Investors too, must plan ahead for lean times. Having an emergency cash reserve, great credit score and appropriate savings or insurance in case of disability or premature death, can help soften a hard time.
2. Don't spend too much in retirement. It's one thing to live the high life while the multimillion paychecks are rolling in. But binge spending in your retirement permanently erodes your nest egg. Sports Illustrated found that by the time they have been retired for two years, 78% of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress and 60% of former NBA players have gone broke within five years of retirement. Trying to keep up with the Joneses, excessive debt and overspending can be a big problem for retirees. Retirees should run the numbers so they are comfortable they'll have sustainable amounts of income throughout retirement. Then determine the minimum amount of money they need to live the life they want to live.
3. Don't invest in areas you don't understand. Many athletes spend their lives studying and playing a sport and not taking the time to become financially literate so it's no surprise that so many have lost money to "too good to be true" schemes. Investors likewise need to ask questions before making investment decisions to that they "Know What They Own. And, Why They Own It". Don't be afraid to ask for more information on why this is it a fit for your portfolio? What are the risks? What are the fees and penalties? What are the implications if in an emergency you need to liquidate and have the funds back?
4. Don't trust family members. Ok, maybe you can trust your family members. But not always, with your money! Many young pro athletes have risen out of poverty to fame and fortune and become targets for family and friends in their communities. Also, according to the NFL Players Association, more than 78 players collectively lost $42 million between 1999 and 2002 as a result of entrusting their money to bad advisors. There are lots of good and ethical financial advisors out there who can help you. Interview advisors and check experience and qualifications.

To many fly anglers, tropical flyfishing is the grail of the sport. The hot humid air, crystal clear water and the immense variety of available fish make it every fly angler's wet-fly dream. The very same heat that makes it so appealing often makes it a difficult endeavor for fly fishing lines. Traditionally you need a stiffer coating material in order to withstand the heat--otherwise you end up casting sticky spaghetti. Often times, those stiffer coatings make the line feel like you're casting cable.

The Cavaliers joined the NBA for the 1970-71 season, but struggled mightily in the franchise's early seasons. The Cavs won no more than 32 games in any of the team's first four seasons, and didn't make the playoffs until the 1975-76 season. After a three-year stretch with a winning record, futility overcame the Cavaliers again, leading to a nine-year stretch with sub-.500 marks. Under two of the best coaches in NBA history—Lenny Wilkens and Mike Fratello—Cleveland was highly successful in the late 1980s and 1990s. The Cavaliers made the playoffs nine times in an 11-year span, but were never able to secure the franchise's first NBA title. After that golden era, Cleveland fell back to the bottom of the NBA before selecting a high school small forward with the first pick in the 2003 NBA Draft—LeBron James. James led the Cavs to the Eastern Conference Finals once and the NBA Finals another time, but again Cleveland couldn't win a championship. Now, the Cavaliers are set to embark on another stretch of winning on the back of another first overall pick, point guard Kyrie Irving. Cleveland has retired the numbers of six players in the franchise's history. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Cleveland Cavaliers basketball tickets.
The 2013-14 NBA Season was another down year for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Mike Brown returned for a 2nd stint as Cavaliers head coach and the acquisitions for Luol Deng and number 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett had Cleveland thinking of a playoff appearance. But the Cavs fell short, finishing with only 33 wins and in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
But then the Cleveland Cavaliers had one of the biggest transformations in a single offseason in league history. LeBron James announced that he would be returning home to Cleveland and the Cavaliers added Kevin Love in a trade, creating a new big 3 of Kyrie Irving, James, and Love. The Cleveland Cavaliers also added veterans Mike Miller, Shawn Marion, Brendon Hayward, and John Lucas III. Now the odds on favorite to win the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a dream roster in 2014 and will look to bring Cleveland its first NBA Championship.
The Cavaliers play their home games at Quicken Loans Arena, located in Cleveland, Ohio. When filled to capacity, "The Q" holds about 20,500 screaming Cavs fans. Quicken Loans Arena is one of the best venues to watch basketball in due to the number of seats in the lower bowl, the many video monitors around the stadium and other state-of-the-art technological advancements. The Cleveland Cavaliers home bench is on the Quicken Loans Arena base line in front of sections 126-127. Quicken Loans Arena parking information is covered in our Cavaliers event guide.
Washington Wizards, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls
The hatred between these two teams extends beyond the basketball court. Trash-talk has been common practice between the players which has only heightened the rivalry. The Cavs and Wizards met each other in the playoffs three straight seasons and have faced each other more times than they have any other team in the NBA in the last 7+ seasons.
This rivalry peaked in the mid-2000s when both teams often faced each other in the playoffs. With the two teams meeting with the stakes at its highest, it is only natural for this to be a rivalry. These two teams have met over 200 total times throughout the years in games that are often close and always hard fought.
There have been epic games between these two teams, dating back to the late 1980s. The game that sticks out the most in the history of this matchup is "The Shot" in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first round in 1989. Michael Jordan's game winning shot with less than 15 seconds left that broke the hearts of Cleveland fans everywhere. This rivalry picked up again in the late 2000s when LeBron James and the up and coming Derrick Rose faced off.
The Cavaliers established themselves as one of the more successful franchises in the mid-1980s to early 1990s. The Cavs were consistently fighting for an Eastern Conference championship. Cleveland had an uprising in the mid-2000s with LeBron James leading the franchise. The Cavaliers won the 2007 Eastern Conference Championship and have multiple division titles throughout the years that will only increase in future years.
Doors typically open to the general public about 90 minutes before game time. Getting there early to see the pre-game shoot around is always worth it, but be aware that there is no re-entry into Quicken Loans Arena so be prepared to stay the duration of the game once you enter.
If you are looking to go to a sports bar before the game try the Thirsty Parrot or Winking Lizard. Both are within walking distance of Quicken Loans Arena, and are packed with die hard Cleveland sports fans. For a more sophisticated dining experience try Hodge's. It has a great menu and is perfect for foodies. One of the more unique experiences in the Cleveland dining scene is Hoopples which touts great bar food and a view of the river. Other good options are Alesci's and Clevelanders Sports Bar and Grill.
Just to the east and the north of the stadium are two large parking garages that have covered walkways to the arena. Another large parking garage is just to the northwest of the "Q" on the other side of Ontario Street. These close lots range in price from $10 to $20. It is best to purchase a parking pass so that you guarantee yourself a place up close. If you are looking to save some money there are some open street lots that are typically $5 in the surrounding areas around the arena, we recommend trying the east side as there is a higher concentration of lots over there. RTA offers public transportation options either by bus or rapid transit, just be sure to plan your trip in advance.
Any child over the age of 2 requires a ticket into the game. If your child is under 2 years old they can sit in a parents lap for the duration of the game. We recommend bringing proof of his/her age to avoid any hassles at the gate.
The game was awesome, the seats were awesome, and I will use you guys again, thank you very much.Mark - Casper, WY

MASSENA - The town of Massena has received its first gaming compact fund money in more than a year, and Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said the check was more than twice as much as they expected.
Mr. Gray said the town is now in possession of $88,240 that served as payment for September.
If we can extrapolate that out over 12 months, thats very good news, Mr. Gray said, adding a full year of $88,000 checks would equal $1,056,000, more than twice the $500,000 they were originally expecting.
This is twice that, he said.
While Mr. Gray said he didnt mind waiting a week to allocate those funds, he suggested using $48,000 for airport marketing and $40,000 for the purchase of radios and other needed equipment for emergency services.
Mr. Gray also noted that he is required to submit a list of expenses the town is planning to use gaming compact monies for to the Empire State Development Corporation, something that he said he was opposed to doing, but will continue to do in order to receive the funds.
We shouldnt have to have a plan, he said. Town Councilman Charles A. Chuck Raiti suggested formulating a plan for the entire year and submitting that, rather then spending time on such a plan each month.
I would just send them a list for the whole year and say, This is what were going to do, and see what they say, Mr. Raiti said.
Given the larger than expected check, Councilman John F. Macaulay said the town should be able to do some good things with the money.
We should be able to make some pretty good contributions, he said, adding, All of that discussion about setting up reserve funds, I think well be able to do that.
Based on the projection of $500,000 this years preliminary budget proposal included $64,294 for the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce, Business Development Corporation and FISHCAP, with the remaining $435,706 being placed into the Highway Departments budge.t
The board is expected to again discuss how to spend its gaming compact revenue when they meet on Wednesday to continue 2014 budget discussions.
That meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the town hall.
