SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 6, 2012) -- Gen. Robert W. Cone, commanding general of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, spoke to the Army's 56 All-American Bowl Week Soldier Heroes during a Jan. 5 breakfast at Sunset Station.
Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler greeted the group and introduced Cone. He opened with words of encouragement and praise.
"You are heroes," Chandler said. "Be proud of who you are and what you do."
Cone's message, although brief, focused on three main points: Establishing the conditions for the Army in 2014, focusing on preparedness rather than short-term readiness, and the Army Profession.
"The world as we know it is going to change," said Cone. "I would argue that as we look to the future, we think more about being an Army of preparation."
Cone said this concept has significant impact on the "professionals" in terms of how they prepare the next generation of leaders. The challenge will now be investing in the right things to make sure we're ready. One of those investments starts with understanding the ideal of the Army as a profession. A professional is committed to a set of values, a profession has standards and discipline; it enforces itself and has a unique body of professional knowledge.
"That's what we do," said Cone. Ours is "the ethical application of lethal force to achieve this nation's objective."
With Soldiers evaluating their role as professionals, there is a need to look at standards and discipline.
"You enforce standards and disciplines," Chandler said. "Your exposure [to the American public] is what makes young people say 'I want to be like that.'"
Trust is a big part of what holds the program together and Soldiers must be able to trust that the leaders are enforcing the standards of qualification and that discipline is at the forefront of their lives.
The final point to the message was the center of it all, the importance of leader development. In talking about an Army of preparation, Cone said you have to focus on leader development. The three components of leader development are experience, institutional development (formal Army schoolhouse training and education) and self development.
In looking to the changes to come with the cutbacks and downsizing, Cone assured the Soldiers of the success of the Army.
"We'll be OK," he said. "If we hang together and trust each other and continue to communicate."

Hey All!
I am Varun, a first year MBA Student at Brandeis IBS. I thought of starting this thread to help all those, who intend to apply/ applying/ have applied to Brandeis for the MBA program or it's other Graduate Programs.
Since I was in the same position last year I completely understand the anxiety and need to get 1st hand information from current students and trust me it is a boon as it helps you know the actualities of the school beyond the numbers and the website.
B-School is definitely much more than what prospective students think of it to be, so please do not hesitate to post your queries and I will try my best to answer them in the most elaborate manner.
hi, varun
im planning to join brandeis this fall for the mba program.
can you tell me how the college is and what about placements and what all should i do? pls revert back.
Thanks a lot Idiopathist! Your detailed break-down really helps in understanding the facts that should be understood and analyzed before making a composite and uniformed decision!
I am looking forward to a career in marketing and advertising. Now, I have a friend who is currently a MBA student at Thunderbird and his interests lie in marketing as well. Just now, he secured an internship with L'oreal in NY. Now having said that, as per as your response and some prior research I have done, Brandeis is primarily a Jewish College, having proficient and efficient professors specializing in the financial stream. Therefore, my research has shown that Brandeis suits students or professionals wanting to pursue finance as a career. On the other hand, I have a couple of contacts who have graduated from Brandeis but are now currently employed as marketing professionals elsewhere, not necessarily in Boston.
Practically, I as a prospect student would like to study and work in a stream that I want to follow. Having said that, Brandeis is not known for its marketing programs. But as rightly said by you, yes, Brandeis does have a diverse culture where there can be a vivid integration of opinions and ideas that will open up more contacts and actually succor the chances of grabbing more opportunities. I have also received a 50% scholarship with 25% University Loan. Also, the fee structure is not that intimidating as Thunderbirds.
But there is a clear trade off here. Thunderbird is a better ranked University and its international business program is considered numero-uno globally (or so it is said). But it is expensive overall. I have lived in U.S. before and as a former student of the American education system, I know how colleges and universities work there. Boston would have hell of a competition (as rightly mentioned by you) as some of the best schools are situated in that area. And as an international student, it would be very hard if not impossible to secure a credible job there.
But hey, life is full of choices! The ones we take the most time to decide on are generally the ones which are prolific and matter the most! But thank you again for your incredible insight! Honestly, I was not expecting such an articulate and descriptive reply!
What is your profile if you dont mind me asking? Do you come from a financial background?
Thanks again Idiopathist!
Hi Guys,
My name is Abhishek Mahapatra. Just got an acceptance letter from Brandeis IBS with 50% scholarship and 25% University Loan. I have also Thunderbird as an option for their MBA.
I just wanted to ask how many of you are planning to go to Brandeis? As it is a relatively new program, is the IBS MBA a reputed one to that? I have done some prior research and I have found that Thunderbird is better ranked than Brandeis in terms of exposure and recruitment. What do you guys think?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this topic!
I've got the admission letter into IBS.Can you tell the process to get the I-20 ?
Rohan Mody SaysHey! so have u finalized on Baruch?
linhsit SaysI've just got my I-20 today. So excited
Have you got your I20?
linhsit SaysI also got an admit from Brandeis MAief Program. Hope to see you around!
costica SaysHey guys. I applied for the IBS MBA 2 weeks ago. Do you have any idea how long does it take until they give you a response? Also, i already had a face to face interview with one of the office of admissions members before applying. Do you think i will have to give another interview?
Well the website says 85% of the people were placed last year... and 86% foreign national students are placed...
so i thought the numbers are decent... help me understand...
i just got an interview invite from GW... please help me with the interview questions and overall experience please...
also i thought GW has almost 100% placements... is that not true?

The extended west coast trip started out very poorly for the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night as the Reds lost the opener with the San Francisco Giants 5-0 in San Francisco.
In what was billed to be a pitcher's duel between the Giants' Madison Bumgarner and Cincinnati Reds' Johnny Cueto, proved to be a one-sided affair. While Cueto struggled mightily in the winds and cold by the Bay, Bumgarner was quite a home. Bumgarner took a no hitter into the 6th inning. His bid was broken up when Ryan Hanigan, Cincinnati Reds' catcher, singled sharply up the middle. That was it. That was all the Reds could muster against the slider throwing lefthander.
Now those of you who have followed my blogs know that I am not one to make excusese for the Reds or to blame anyone other than them for their losses; however, I must make mention that Cueto didn't get the same calls as Bumgarner. I don't know if CB Buckner, the umpire behind the plate, wasn't seeing the ball well, or just had an off night, but pitches in the same spot for Cueto didn't get the same call as Bumgarner. One major spot came in the first inning. Cueto had made quick work of the first two hitters. With Melky Cabrera up and working with a full-count. Cueto unleashed a tailing fastball belt-high on the outside corner. Clearly Cueto and Hanigan believed it was a strike and they were off to a solid start. Buckner, however, saw it differently and awarded Cabrera first base. Instead of being in the dugout 0-0, Cueto gave up consecutive bleeders to rightfield. Add in one throwing error and the Giants are leading 2-0 and for all purposes that was the game.
It got so bad for Cueto, he ended up walking 4 batters in only 6 innings. To put that in perspective, the Cincinnati Reds' ace had only walked 2 batters in the rest of the month of June.
All that being said, the Cincinnati Reds were clearly overmatched against Bumgarner who continued the amazing pitching run for the Giants. This was their fourth consecutive shut out win. They have gone 38 straight innings, total, without allowing a run. Very, very impressive.
The two teams will go at it again on Friday night. Hopefully the Cincinnati Reds will have found their bats and start to play like a first place team.

When the college football season kicks off today, there will be 17 matchups, only one of which includes a ranked team. That one team will be the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, who reside at the No. 9 spot in the polls.
USC will head to Vanderbilt to face a Commodores team that played in the Liberty Bowl last year, and not too long ago was a thorn in the Gamecocks side. Vandy beat USC in both 2007 and 2008, the former of which knocked the team from their then-top-10 ranking.
Local fans are also gearing up for the season, with some choosing to make the trek to Tennessee to see the Gamecocks opener.
Ive been going to every game since 84, said Chris Fulmer, president of the Aiken County Gamecock Club. It doesnt matter whether its a home game, road game or bowl game, Im there.
Fulmer, along with the rest of the Gamecocks Club, recently hosted their annual Aiken County kickoff party. It was a major success, gathering more than 200 people. Fulmer estimates that it is the largest they have had in more than 10 years and it could have possibly been its biggest ever.
You could see and feel the excitement of everyone who loves USC football, he said. Everyone had the garnet and black on.
Fulmers group, The Ultimate Tailgaters, have been going to games since 94. Though the whole group wont make the trek to Vanderbilt, Fulmer expects that, combined with some baseball tailgaters they meet along the way, they will have roughly 18-20 fans present.
All of the tickets up in Columbia were sold, so we know were going to definitely travel well.
Other local fans are also getting in on the festivities.
Im going to fly into Nashville and meet a friend of mine from Pittsburgh, said Becky Johnson, a lifetime Gamecock fan. I try to make two or three road games a year, and I especially love Nashville and Kentucky.
This years expectations are some of the highest in Gamecock history. The team is coming off two of the most successful seasons in school history and they will also get star running back Marcus Lattimore.
This season really has people excited, Fulmer said. There hasnt been a buzz around this team since the back-to-back Outback Bowl wins in 2000 and 2001. Id say its even bigger than the 84 and 85 seasons.
As far as the game is concerned, Fulmer feels confident about USCs chances.
I dont think well have to sweat this one out, he said. I think it should be one of those 34-17 or 27-10 type games. The team just needs to play to what theyre capable of and they should pull away in the second half and keep the Vandy fans from getting involved.

When will I feel my baby?
My lasyt visit (1st OB visit!) found me 9 weeks in to my pregnancy, entering my 10th. (Although my conception date was apparently 8 going in to 9 weeks ago) Anyhoo, I thought I read that at 8 weeks you could feel movement, but I don't. Should I be feeling my baby move, or is it maybe still too early?

Typically you should start to feel your baby move sometime between 16-22 weeks. If this isn't your first child then you may feel your baby move a little earlier. I'm 9 weeks with my second and still do not feel anything.posted 09/20/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm 9 wks with my first and I read that some women who have been pregnant before can feel their baby move as early as 9 wks because they know what it feels like...lol...so last night I was laying perfectly still and waiting...and I kept feeling bubblies, which my husband and I both know were all gas-related. But it's fun to take time to rub your tummy and connect with your baby even this early on isn't it? :) I can't wait to finally feel the little thing move for real!posted 09/27/2007 by isa54_16
I am only 11 weeks but I feel something. At first, I thought it was digestion because I read that it was too early into a first pregnancy to feel anything. It feels like little flutters!!posted 09/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 9 weeks with my fourth, and I can feel flutters at this point...I think that when I was pregnant with my first or even second, they would have been dismissed as gas, but because I am familiar with the feeling, I think that is the only reason I can recognize it.posted 04/19/2008 by ninatomahoka
With my first, it was closer to 17 weeks before I felt what I KNEW were baby movements. I'm also overweight so that's part of what took longer in my case. I'm 8 wks. now and after retaining weight from my first (whom I only had 13 mos. ago), I imagine it will be a few more weeks before I feel definitive movement. Once it happens though, it's so awesome. Good luck and enjoy it before the baby starts hitting ribs and kicking kidneys : )posted 02/15/2008 by Minotmommy
go to this website it tells that the normal range of fetal movement detection is between 13 and 25 weeks of pregnancy. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/firstfetalmovement.htmposted 01/18/2008 by Evy10
Second-time mothers can feel the baby move pretty early. First-timers, though, usually don't start to feel movements until about 16 weeks. I remember the first day I felt the baby move and just knew it was the baby moving. It felt like someone flipping inside me. Now I feel the baby every day.posted 10/01/2007 by StephanieBingham
When I was pregnant with my first, I could have sworn I felt him move very early on, around 8 weeks. I felt the same with my third and fourth babies. They were so very active. Now, 16 weeks pregnant with my fourth, I wonder if I have an inactive baby. I have heard the heartbeat and my midwife has explained that sometimes with more pregnancies, the baby can be postioned lower in the uterus, thus more difficult to feel movement. My husband thinks we have us a calm and quieter baby. I'm still worried; I have an ultrasound in November, and I hope everything will turn out just fine. So any mom-to-be, first time or not, should be allowed to wonder.posted 10/26/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
This is my 2nd pregnancy; I'm also 9 weeks going into 10 on Thursday. With my first one I didn't feel him until after 12 weeks. You might be able to feel your uterus getting firmer, mine feels like a grapefruit right now. Good luck!posted 09/18/2007 by mjones4720
I am 10 weeks pregnant with my second child, and I have already been feeling flutters that I know are not gas. So I do believe that at least second time moms will feel it earlier than a first timer. My first time was probably around 16 weeks.posted 03/25/2008 by angela4701

InstrumenTrac - The Starting Point for Zero Surgical Site InfectionsCensitrac®'s InstrumenTrac electronic instrument tracking & management is the most fully featured and robust instrument level tracking available. You now can achieve 100% tray accuracy with faster assembly times and increase patient safety. Our permanent marking for individual instruments gives you visibility and traceability throughout your facility providing you with full accountability for every instrument and every step of your entire workflow cycle.
InstrumenTrac will also provide complete automation and recordkeeping for SPD terminal and OR-based Immediate Use Steam Sterilization (IUSS). Because you're tracking at the instrument level, InstrumenTrac facilitates target patient notification for instrument level recalls as well as immediate visibility to every instrument's reprocessing and use records. This level of visibility and traceability is what AAMI defines as part of the complete patient safety record.
InstrumenTrac has been implemented in more SPD's than any other instrument tracking solution because it is the most complete and powerful system available for surgical instrument tracking. Implementing InstrumenTrac will help you realize quality and productivity gains in your assembly process and in the speed and competencies of your staff, while reducing costs.
So eliminate OR delays and their patient safety risks by ensuring that your instruments and trays are in the right place, at the right time, in the right condition. Now instead of spending hours searching for instruments, your staff can focus on more critical and important work. Suddenly OR efficiency and infection control are perfectly aligned, and you're on the path to improved patient safety.
InstrumenTrac will help you:
InstrumenTrac Benefits:
Mark Instruments Once and Maintain 100% Tray Accuracy ThereafterCensitrac®'s permanent 2-D marking means that once your inventory is marked, tray assemblies and instrument histories are always 100% accurate. This means that even as your quality of tray assembly increases, the number of trays processed can also increase, in part because audio and visual alerts sound if there is a mismatch between an instrument scanned for a particular tray. This supervisory system helps with training too.
Inventory OptimizationMany SPD's we work with have no good system to monitor instrument maintenance and inventory. With InstrumenTrac the purchase and maintenance histories for specific instruments are tracked and maintenance alerts are triggered based on actual use. The extensive reporting tools allow you to measure and control turn rates, warranty rates and useful life by vendor, as well as target excess or inadequate instrument stock. InstrumenTrac gives you the information you need to better manage your overall surgical instrument investment.
Touch Screens, Scanning and Wireless Technologies, Intuitive InterfaceThe intuitive, touch screen interface is easy to learn and use. InstrumenTrac's database of thousands of commonly used instruments helps guide and train technicians. And it interfaces with any OR scheduler for optimal workflow coordination between surgery and your sterile processing departments. Best of all by starting with CensiCount, SterilTrac or TrayTrac you're already well on your way to full instrument tracking so upgrading to InstrumenTrac is even easier.
InstrumenTrac includes all the functionality of other Censtrac® modules.

Review of HMRC's tax decisions by HMRC? By Nichola Ross Martin
Can HMRC really create an internal process to review its decisions that is both impartial and cost effective? Nichola Ross Martin looks at HMRC's new consultation paper.
Appealing a decision made by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) can be an unpleasant prospect and this is not just a matter of cost. Many taxpayers (and accountants) shy away from making an appeal because this could lead to a Commissioners hearing and most just want to enjoy simple, non-adversarial life.
The full article is available to registered AccountingWEB members only. To read the rest of this article you'll need to login or register.
Registration is FREE and allows you to view all content, ask questions, comment and much more.
Or if you are already registered, login here
I struggle to see how it would be of benefit to Taxpayers.
One can only assume that decisions will be based on the existing HMCE Tax Manuals which are known to take an interprative view of existing Tax Law.
It looks more like a way to discourage the taxpayer from going to the Commissioners since the TaxPayer will no doubt be told "Well, you lost here, the original assessment was correct. If you try and take it forward the penalties will be much worse".
Having watched certain IR35 and S660a cases being handled I struggle to see how this could ever favour the taxpayer.
Taxpayer;s Advocate
The suggestion by Robert Maas for a taxpayer's advocate, as set out in a recent Taxation article, becomes more and more relevant.
Horse before cart please
One would have thought that if HMRC was really interested in saving money the independent review - if such a thing is possible to achieve - should be undertaken beforfe the case is settled rather than following an appeal so that partisan or untenable views from HMRC don't give rise to appeals in the first place
Why not get it right first time?
As I have posted elsewhere, academic research in other areas where internal review is used suggests quite a significant rate of overturning which begs the question - why not spend the money devoted to internal review to getting it right the first time.
And if the dispute involves a genuine dispute over interpretation of a point of law then an independent tribunal is the obvious recourse.
There is also an issue about who appeals. Academic research in other areas of government suggests depressingly low rates of appeal or request for internal review even when critical issues (such as having somewhere to live) are at stake. The thrust of these proposals seems to be to cut down appeals. The taxpayers who are likely to fail to appeal or ask for a review will be those with no or poor representation - and who may be the ones who most need it. Harmonisation and improving processes should not be at the expense of procedural justice.
What exactly does it mean?
I think it's important to understand what is intended here. It's not just some sort of internal audit procedure or check. It will (or at least I assume it will from what's been said) be a formal procedure (as used in other government departments) which taxpayer requests effectively as first step in an attempt to redress a grievance of some kind (for want of a better description). As I say below, it would be better to focus resources on getting decisions right first time. It's also worth noting that in the Leggatt review of tribunals attention was drawn to the extent to which the then Inland Revenue controlled the procedure for listing appeals, giving rise to issues of lack of perceived independence of the Commissioners who were after all a genuinely independent body. I'm sure this has put people off making appeals over the years. How much more so will they be deterred from using an internal review process, no matter how independent the reviewer is from the original decision maker.
Canada has an internal appeals system at R&D
The system has been in place for many years. It acts as a deterent to reviewers from taking arbitrary positions outside of the law and against internal revenue policy. There are exceptions but most taxpayers only proceed to an internal appeal in situations where the facts, law and policy are clearly in their favour or where the amounts are significant. It is mandatory to go through the internal Appeal process before proceeding to court. It is my understanding that the majority of appeals filed are found in favour of the taxpayer.

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Dina Manzo: "Things Are Good" with Teresa Guidice! Where Will They Reunite?
So far, Dina Manzo hasn't confirmed whether or not she'll accept Bravo's offer to rejoin The Real Housewives of New Jersey for Season 6, now that her sister, Caroline Manzo, is officially out. But Dina's biggest reason for leaving the show back in 2010 was that she was tired of all the drama. And these days, her relationship with a number of the current housewives is looking pretty drama-free.
Dina is currently teaming up with both Teresa Giudice and Kathy Wakile for Goddess Night Out, a November 11 event benefitting her children-focused charity Project Ladybug. And when fans on Twitter started asking Dina if attending an event with Teresa and Kathy would be hard, the mother of one quickly set them straight.
"Tweeps things r good w Teresa & Kathy!" she wrote on October 14. "Lets keep it that way! It's all about coming together to help sick children. Everyone's ❤ is in it!"
Though Dina initially distanced herself from everyone in the RHoNJ cast after leaving the show a few years back, she later revealed that Teresa made a point to come over to her house and patch things up. Friendship restored!
And while Dina's relationship with Jacqueline Laurita still seems fairly strained, that's not the case between her and Kathy. "Oh, I've known Dina for a long time now," Kathy recently told Wetpaint Entertainment. "I've been to most of her Ladybug events and she's always been very pleasant to me."
If Dina does decided to come back to the Real Housewives, it sounds like things won't be nearly as dramatic they may have originally seemed!

On June 11, Dr. John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Minister Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh from the India Ministry of Science, Technology and Earth Sciences will lead the second U.S.-India Joint Commission Meeting on Science and Technology Cooperation in Washington, D.C.
The meeting, held under the auspices of the U.S.-India Science and Technology Agreement, will assess progress and identify new areas for scientific cooperation. Representatives from more than 15 U.S. Government agencies and research institutions will meet with their Indian counterparts to discuss Basic and Applied Sciences, Health and Medical Sciences, and Atmospheric, Environment and Earth Sciences; policy initiatives to strengthen bilateral research cooperation; innovation and technology commercialization; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education; and best practices for retaining and advancing women in science.
During the Joint Commission Meeting, Dr. Holdren and India's Prime Minister Advisor for Public Information Infrastructure and Innovation Dr. Sam Pitroda will announce the Open Government Platform (OGPL)—a bilateral effort to promote transparency and greater citizen engagement by making government data, documents, tools and processes publicly available. Making this information available on an open-source platform in machine-readable format will allow developers, analysts, the media, and academics an opportunity to develop new applications and insights, which will ultimately give citizens more information to facilitate better decisions.

Though the haunted-household cartoons developed a following among New Yorker readers long before the 1960s sitcom, and the Addams and their seedy Victorian mansion soon became recognizable types, the artist with the well-known signature "Chas Addams" remained an enigma. Called "the Bela Lugosi of the cartoonists," Addams was the cartoonist everyone - even Hitchcock - wanted to meet. He was bedeviled by rumors. People claimed that he slept in a coffin, collected severed fingers sent by fans, and suffered bouts of madness that sent him to the insane asylum.
The true Addams was even more fabulous than the wildest stories and cartoons. Here was a sunny, funny urbane man, "a normal American boy," as he called himself, with a dog who hated children and a taste for crossbows. While producing a unique body of work featuring lovingly drawn homicidal spouses, demonic children, genteel monsters, and an everyday world crosshatched with magic, Addams raced classic sports cars, juggled beautiful women (Joan Fontaine, Jackie Kennedy, and Greta Garbo, to name a few), and charmed everyone. But though his pursuits suggest lighthearted romanticcomedy, Addams's life had its sinister side. Far darker than anything Addams created with a brush was his relationship with a dangerous woman who forever changed his life.

Instead of asking why, perhaps it is best to simply accept that it is, what is. There are flies at every barbecue.
Also, if you want comments, change your settings to automatically approved. You will get many more as many will not respond otherwise, plus your blog may die on the vine until you approve them
Feb 5 @ 8:24PM
My guess is that it all started with someone blowing off steam caused by an uninternet related matter. People do that... I guess its better than letting it off on a loved one or puppy.
From there it all went apeshit... or so I gather from all reports.
I may not be the most loved person here, admittingly I'm probably one of the least responded to males here... but this fact has givin me an outsiders perspective.
Now if only everyone else could step back and see themselves.
I'll wait. I've got nothing but time- untill my foot heals.
Landed wrong doing a butterfly kick and then managed to get an ingrown toe... nothing but time.

BA posted some blogs as his alter profile
Muster got kicked out of amd, (No, i didnt know you could get kicked out either)
muster, buster...thinks ew is responsible,(i dont know, if she is or not)then, everybody took a side, and a hard side, well except for soft touch...she will take on the best of them, and never bat an eye...she is the one person on here that is truely not to be fucked with,,,,anyone else,,,take em on if you want,,,they will play, and there are many more sidelines to this...but readers digest version
Feb 5 @ 8:36PM
well in answere to the 1st question, i enjoy reading most of the blogs, but while i dont directly have any input on the matter it makes me wonder about a lot of things. if all the flies werent around it would leave room for the good stuff. i expected to be beat up a little for wondering why we cant all get along so go ahead and smack away. it seems to make some feel better at least i am good for something.

I really don't give a flying rodents posterior region what anyone blogs on here. My only point was this.........the more people write blogs about the shitstorm, the more the shitstorm remains. It multiplies faster than rabbits. Goes on and on without end. So all those that bitch about it going on by writing blogs about it going on, then someone bitches about the blogs about it going on, so they blog about it going on, then someone bitches about those blogs about it going on and they write a blog about it going on, then someone bitches about those blogs about it going on, so they write a blog about it going on, ...........get it???? So until everyone just drops it, no scolding, no bitching, no beating the damn horse anymore cos the poor bastard is dead......it will continue. Just my .02

[/QUOTE]well except for soft touch...she will take on the best of them, and never bat an eye...she is the one person on here that is truely not to be fucked with,,,,
I could say a lot about people being named openly in a blog...that seems to be a lot of what the war was about in the first place...not to mention things being posted that were said in private e-mail...but I won't. Apparently AMD's rules were meant to be broken. If AMD had some MODS with a backbone this all would have been nipped in the bud a long time ago, now it's blown out of proportion and apparently beyond their control.
I adher to my own standards and I believe AMD rules are in place for a purpose and on that I apparently stand alone.
I can disagree with someone's conduct but still agree on their basic opinion or belief. I chose to stand alone on this also....without adding to the flames and without much ado.
I don't seek trouble nor do I intentionally make it. If I'm "not to be fucked with" means I am my own person and don't follow the crowd then so be it. I stopped blogging anything that resembles my own opinions or thoughts...not because I was chased out by bullying...but because I choose not to deliberately expose myself to a bunch of adolesents misbehaving without conscience or the decency to respect others opinions. As the saying goes...."Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience."
I would appreciate being left out of these silly games. I have nothing to say in private that I would not say publically. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I will post comments on my own standards and that's just the way it is.
Feb 6 @ 12:57AM
I have to say Soft_Touch, I respect you a hellava lot more than I do a lot of people on this site..........you say what you need to say without stabbing someone in the back or slapping them on the wrist, and you stand by your words. I salute you. Perhaps if everyone modelled their blogging after you, myself included, this place would be a nicer place to be. Unfortunately i will continue writing blogs and using peoples names in them..........thats what I do..........and so far no one has complained and I only do it with friends or people i have asked permission from prior to doing it..........and its all in fun. Again,, I salute you.

Casually walks in with a really big shovel, to bury a really big dead horse.
Borty!!! That's not even funny.... Does Ash know you are still out of the closet?
Hand me a pen........or just prick my finger and I'll sign it in blood, just as long as it's over.....oh yea, I'll take a paintbrush too. Got any purple paint?
Do you know what all the dick pics would look like......????
Umm, yellow with purple stripes?

Feb 6 @ 1:25AM
Thanks Ewe....there's certainly nothing wrong with mentioning people's names in a friendly blog, in jesting or to comfort or console.
I felt pulled into something that I want no part of and in a way that could have caused me misery. "Not to be fucked with"...what's that suppose to mean?? I'm not a mean or vindictive person...just a straight shooter.
I stick my neck out here but so be it...I'm older than most of you here. I think any of you might consider yourself smarter now than you was 10 or 20 years ago. I have that much on most of you...I've been there/done that. I've been your age, you haven't been mine.
Does that make me wiser? NO! But I do have more experience just in the guantity of years. I've learned to pick my fights. I've learned to let it roll off my back. I've learned about common courtesey and respecting others opinions. I've learned that words do hurt. I've learned just because I'm hidden behind my keyboard doesn't give me the the right to hurt someone's heart because no matter how bad we act, each one of us is vulnerable to being hurt. I have survived black eyes and a broken nose and verbal abuse. The physical pain heals but the verbal abuse lingers.
And I've learned to be my own person, setting my own standards and that means behaving in a decent manner. I can certainly be abrasive when need be but that is rare and only when nothing else works to get my point across.
This all needs to stop but it takes everyone ignoring blogs meant to prolong it. So I have said my last and move on.

it is better than a soap on tv
I dunno, I prefer drama that's been scripted, though the occasional improved drama can be good. I wasn't here for the beginning of it (and I doubt drama ever truly ends) so I can't tell you what its about or nothin'. I have my own theories on why drama is so prevelant on the net in general, but I'm not going to get into it until I put my thoughts more in order.
I do want to say for now:
Why don't we all go and blog about things that aren't drama? I'm not saying bury the dead horse, or any hatchets, or especially any AMD members. I'm saying how bout all of the poeple that don't want drama write about other things. Instead of saying that we want the drama to be less prevelant, we should put up blogs that have nothing to do with it. Those of us who want the fun back need to be the ones that bring it. (the AMD butt game is a great example of this. Neither the butt/breast games seem like much fun to me, but they have been to others so Ewe gets a big
from me) If we shove the blog reader's heads with enough other stuff, it will mean less space for drama. I'm working on a few blogs myself that are in no way related to this. I would have them up all ready, but right now they're still percolating in my noggin'. I'll get them up as soon as I really decide what I want to say...
I'm sorry bikeboy if it seems like I'm complaining about your blog, I'm not. I'm just using your blog for my soapbox because it happened to be here, and I didn't want to make a hypocrite of myself or adding another blog about this. Also, this is something I've been meaning to say for a while. You certainly have a right to say whatever you want, and should exercise that right.
Anyway, I'm off my soapbox now, and handing your blog back to you. Even gonna give you a green thingie so that there will be no hard feelings. 'Kay?

There is good news for California students. In September 2010, former Gov. Schwarzenegger signed into law the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act, also known as SB 1440. This joint initiative with the California Community Colleges and California State University puts the needs of our state's students first.
The two systems continue to roll out a program that simplifies the transfer process for community college students wanting to continue their education at the California State University. For the first time in California history, community college students who complete an associate degree designated for transfer are guaranteed admission to the California State University system with junior status and will be given priority consideration when applying to their local California State University campus and to a particular program that is similar to the student's community college major.
Roughly 50,000 community college students transfer annually to the California State University system. In the past, most community college students transferred with an average of 80 semester units when only 60 semester units are required. Then, upon arrival at the California State University, they often take excess units to make up for courses that did not transfer from their community college.
The old process was complicated and it was easy for students to get frustrated, confused and waste time and money when university admission requirements changed.
The new Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer program launched in the fall of 2011. The two systems have worked together to approve the framework for associate degrees for transfer open to community college students wanting to participate in the program.
(Lists of colleges with approved transfer degrees and approved degrees updated January 2013)
More Associate Degrees for Transfer are in the approval process and all 113 community colleges will have approved degrees in these and other majors. So, check this site often to see the progress and find out what the colleges in your area have to offer. Visit your college transfer center or speak with a counselor to see how an Associate Degree for Transfer might benefit you.
Fact Sheet
What does the Associate Degree for Transfer program do for me?
• Creates an Associate Degree for Transfer that guarantees your admission with junior standing to the California State University system.
• Defines this associate degree as having 60 transferrable units that include a minimum of 18 units in a major or area of emphasis and an approved general education curriculum (either IGETC or GE Breadth).
• Provides you with priority admission consideration to your local California State University campus and to a program or major that is similar to the major or area of emphasis you studied at your community college.
• Prohibits the California State University from requiring you to repeat courses that are similar to those completed at your community college as part of your Associate Degree for Transfer.
• Prohibits the California State University from requiring you to take more than 60 units to complete a 120-unit baccalaureate degree.
• Reduces the need to take unnecessary courses, thereby shortening your time to degree completion and reducing your costs at the community college and California State University.
• Eliminates confusion caused by different and shifting major preparation requirements that can vary by each California State University campus.
• Even if you do not complete or have to delay finishing your bachelor's degree, you'll still have an associate degree and no one can take that from you. It can significantly increase your earning potential and provide you with the skills employers are looking for in this difficult economy.

Mortgage fraud, a crime that declined 56% after 2006, made a 17% rise last year. About $14 billion worth of loans last year were made with bogus information. Crooks now steal identities or find unscrupulous loan officers to pull off the crimes, since regulations for mortgages tightened up after the crisis hit.
Mortgage fraud shows up in banks' balance sheets when they are forced to write off the loans' value.

Actor Kiefer Sutherland has spoken about his recent stint in jail in a new interview.
The 41-year-old actor told Men's Vogue: "The lights never go out, 24/7. You can't cover anything. You can't even put your head under a blanket. All the cells have cameras in them."
"My drinking was not a daily thing, so it wasn't an issue. And, oddly enough, neither was the smoking. I was very glad to know that I could quit. And one day soon I will."
Speaking about his cellmate, he said: "I was told, you know, 'You'll have your own cell.' But I didn't for the first two or three weeks; I had a cell mate. He got out – but not for long. He came back in pretty quick."

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta State kicked off its Violence Awareness week on Monday, and musicians from the university performed songs that brought awareness to domestic violence.
Since this form of violence has affected the lives of many, especially those in college, the performers chose songs that addressed this ongoing topic. Some of the musicians were also affected by domestic violence.
The purpose of this performance was to encourage students in an abusive relationship to seek help and to help others who were going through such unfortunate circumstances.
As the week winds down, organizers for this week's festivities still more events in store to raise awareness.

Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
SANTA BARBARA - With the new Facebook Home app poised for release on Friday, we decided to stop by a college campus to see how receptive some of Facebook's most active users are to the new interface.
The free app will be available for download on a handful of Android phones and will come pre-installed on the new HTC First phone on AT&T (also available Friday). Students here at the University of California, Santa Barbara had mixed reactions. Some liked the idea and couldn't wait; others couldn't be bothered.
-"As a Facebook user, I'm interested in checking out any new offering they have," said Evan Hynes.
- "I need less distractions," said Michael Busch. "It seems like a great way to distract myself."
- "It would make your whole phone Facebook," said Ariadne Murdy. "So your home screen would be Facebook. I don't like what it would do to my phone."
- "It will make it very accessible," said Kim Descamps. "A lot easier to use."
Student Jake Aria recently saw the Facebook Home TV commercial, and it sold him. He's ready to switch from an iPhone to Android. The new interface seems like a more "convenient form of Facebook," he says. "It puts it right there on your phone. This one seems a little more dynamic, and it condenses your Facebook. You have hundreds of friends, and not all of them you care about their daily lives, but you can pick the ones you do want to see."

above tank refugiums
hello all
im thinking of adding a refugium to my 55 gal live rock /fish tank.
i have the room and the ability to mount a 20 gal fuge above my display tank but im not sure if this is the best idea. id like to cultivate pods and such and bennefit from macro algeas also. im now using a HON biowheel filter and only have 4 damsels and a blenny...along with some snails,horshoe crab and a little blue leg crab. they all peruse the 70lbs of live rock in the tank quite well and all my water tests are top notch. any input to aid me in making my decision would be appreciated...
not sure how well that would work. sumps are best served below the tank. to have the sump above tank would require your return pump to be housed in the display tank, and evaporation would be visible in the display tank rather than the sump. If below is not an option, you might consider beside the display tank.
Re: above tank refugiums
They do sell refugs. that sit on the tank like a HOB filter. So you dont need to add a pump and a tank and plumbing. Its about a 5 gallon, that has a light on it and a little pump that pumps water out.
You can make one take a look at this link.
For a 55 I know they have a really big filter and it will be easier and cheaper.
thanks for the input guys i decided to go with a hang on the back that has a protien skimmer...i like it

Hikers find body in Missouri River
Thursday, October 27, 2011
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — A body discovered in the Missouri River by two hikers in St. Charles County has been identified as that of a man who jumped from a bridge last month.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/sA2Sl5) that two women hiking Tuesday on the Katy Trail near Highway 370 found the body in the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Wednesday that investigators determined the body was that of a 51-year-old man from the St. Charles area. Police had said the man jumped into the Missouri from the Discovery Bridge on Sept. 7.

well it looks like i have misunderstood something...
you remember me saying i want to start with a "deck construction screen"?
i actually meant something like the library you mentioned above where it is shown which cards the player owns and stuff like this...
i thought you mean with "library" something like a Card Dex so i made a design for a card dex screen...
english is not my native language so sry for the misunderstanding!
cant you just start the project with the dex screen where you add the first set of cards?
here is what i made even thought its not what you wanted:
i wanted to make the info screen for the cards after this but it looks like i should make the library like you described...
ahh by the way i have all the existing cards as scans so i resized the base set to fit in the card dex screen... (i will resize more sets later)
here they are:
these cards are pretty small because otherwise i couldnt fit them in the dex screen...
i already prepared bigger size cards (where you can read the text on the cards) for the info screen...
i will upload them after i am finished with the info screen...
and here is a screenshot for everyone who dont want to download the psd file...

Einstein Healthcare Network's Brett Sweitzer, MD an attending orthopedic surgeon with the Department of Orthopedics at Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia as well as an attending orthopedic surgeon at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery commented on this type of injury, surgery and what can be expected during recovery.Dr. Sweitzer specializes in general orthopedics, sports medicine and shoulder reconstruction surgery.His subspecialty is shoulder arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty.Dr. Sweitzer completed his fellowship in sports medicine at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas where he provided care for secondary, collegiate and professional athletes.Dr. Sweitzer's comments:Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay revealed on Wednesday he will be undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery on his throwing shoulder to treat a partially torn rotator cuff, frayed labrum, and bone spurs. No timeline has been set for the date of surgery or the recovery, though he is hopeful he will be able to return to pitching this season. He stated the plan was to perform minimally invasive surgery, including removing the spur rubbing on the rotator cuff, and debriding the frayed labrum. Based on Dr. Lewis Yocum's exam and the MRI findings of Halladay's shoulder, it is believed to be unlikely he will require a rotator cuff and/or labrum repair. Of course, Doc will have more definitive answers regarding his timeline and prognosis for recovery once the arthroscopic surgery is complete.Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery is very common, especially in overhead athletes, such as pitchers. Usually the underlying problem is something known as rotator cuff impingement or rotator cuff syndrome. This is a painful irritation of the tendons and/or fluid sac (bursa) attached to the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The tendons and bursa rub against one another whenever you raise your arm over your head, eventually leading to painful inflammation (bursitis). Often there is an associated bony spur that also rubs on the tendons and aggravates the situation. Shoulder bursitis can be very painful and debilitating and is often associated with other problems in the shoulder, such as fraying of the labrum (the lining of the shoulder socket). Inflammation leads to pain, which leads to rotator cuff dysfunction, which leads to further injury and perpetuation of the injury. Baseball pitchers are more prone to these injuries due to the repetitive overhead motion and tremendous amount of torque they place on the soft tissues. These effects can be cumulative over a pitcher's season and career, resulting in a decline in both their velocity and control. The aim of the surgery is to stabilize the injuries, remove the spur and torn tissues that are exacerbating the inflammation, and ultimately alleviate shoulder pain, such that the shoulder can regain its strength, motion and function.The rehabilitation and return to pitching from arthroscopic shoulder surgery is variable and ultimately depends on what is done at the time of surgery. Any type of repair of the rotator cuff or labrum would certainly require more time for healing and a longer recovery. However, a "clean-up" procedure during which only removal of bony spurs and debridement of the soft tissues is performed, would mean a much quicker recovery. In fact, beginning an interval throwing program around 6 weeks post-operatively, with a return to the pitching mound by 3-4 months would be expected with the less invasive procedures. By all accounts, Doc Halladay has the work-ethic and drive that would facilitate such a recovery, so hopefully we will see him back in a Phillies uniform this season.

Watch Fifth Harmony sing a jazzy cover of Rihanna's "Stay."
Here's the thing: We didn't really neeeed another cover of Rihanna's "Stay." Not only is one sad bath all we can take, but we've already got plentyyy of "Stay" covers by people like Adam Lambert, Jared Leto, Rebecca Black, and Vin-frickin'-Diesel.
That said, maybe you can find room in your heart for just one more "Stay" cover, especially if it's a jazzy rendition sung by the ladies of Fifth Harmony!
Watch Fifth Harmony cover Rihanna's "Stay" after the jump.
Filmed as part of Billboard's "Candid Covers" video series, Fifth Harmony's "Stay" rendition is a jazzed-out spin on Rihanna's original. In fact, they made "Stay" sound like an entirely different song!
Armed with only their voices and a solo guitar player, Ally, Normani, Dinah, Camila, and Lauren topped their song off with some a cappella-esque "ahhhh-ohhhs," took turns singing Rihanna's haunting verse, and generally transformed the original melancholy pop ballad into a jazzy, smoky, minor-chord-filled paradise.
Seriously, future cover singers take note (AHEM, VIN DIESEL) — this is the way to do it. *Bows down*

Sales of Windows Phone smartphones in Latin America improved slightly during 2013. Continuing in early 2014, the trend may be the sign of a window of opportunity for Microsoft to gain traction in the region—and for marketers targeting users of Windows Phone devices. Among the three largest economies in the region, Argentina was the brightest spot for the Microsoft operating system (OS).
According to Kantar Worldpanel, sales of smartphones running on Windows Phone reached 12.9% in Argentina in March 2014, up from 8.3% in December 2013. Kantar Worldpanel has documented other spikes in Windows Phone sales that resulted only in slight share gains—both in Argentina and Mexico. This, however, was the first time the multimonth trend happened in parallel with an Android slide. Android smartphone sales in Argentina peaked at a 78.5% market share in November 2013. Since then, the incumbent OS in the country has experienced monthly drops that resulted in a 71.8% share in March 2014.
Meanwhile, Research in Motion/BlackBerry appears to have stopped its losses in Argentina. Sales of smartphones loaded with the Canadian OS have hovered around a 10% market share in Argentina since August 2013—but hit a two-year low of 8.7% in February 2014 to climb back up to 9.9% the following month. iOS devices, which are some of the most affected by official policies aimed at reducing imports, have steadily taken between about 1% and 2% of monthly smartphone sales in the country.
Windows Phone gains in Brazil and Mexico, both of which are still experiencing Android sales expansions, were modest in comparison. In Brazil, Windows Phone was the only mobile OS to hold its ground to Android during Q1 2014, managing to up its market share from 4.0% in December 2013 to 5.5% in March 2014. Microsoft's gains came amid losses from every other competitor as Google's OS powered 87.6% of smartphones sold in March 2014, up from 86.7% in December 2013.
Mexico appears to be the least welcoming market to Windows Phone for now. Android's share of smartphone sales in the country expanded from 49.3% to 76.5% between December 2012 and December 2013—and inched up to 77.6% in March 2014. In the shadow of Android's dominance in Mexico, no competitor has been able to break away from the pack this year. According to Kantar Worldpanel, the shares of smartphone sales held by Windows Phone, BlackBerry and iOS in the country have hovered between around 5% and 8% since December 2013.

Back and Forth
Camp Rudy has decided to turn the Hillary comparison back on Romney and put out this, comparing Hillary and Romney statements on a list of issues, which they dub "Mitt and Hillary Singing from the Same Song Sheet." It goes through abortion, campaign finance, healthcare, social security, anti-discrimination legislation for gays, sex education, stem cell research, illegal aliens and even "it takes a village" comments which Romney and Hillary have made. Romney's camp may well respond, "But we changed on a whole bunch of those." Well, they will say it better than that.

DPS: Three injured in wrong-way crash along I-17
NEW RIVER, AZ - For the fourth time in two weeks, a wrong way crash has occurred in Arizona.
The latest incident happened around 11:30 Saturday night along Interstate 17 near New River.
According to investigators on the scene, a Jeep Cherokee was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes when the crash occurred.
A Department of Public Safety officer on the scene told ABC15 two men in their 20s were in the Cherokee and apparently hit the guardrail moments before striking a white pickup truck driven by a man in his 50s.
Officers said the driver of the pickup truck suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The wrong way driver was flown to St. Joseph's hospital in Phoenix with serious injuries and his passenger had a broken leg.
DPS spokesman Bart Graves said the passenger in the wrong-way vehicle told officers he and the driver thought they were in the correct lane. Graves said they traveled about three miles before the collision.
DPS later said all victims had been released from the hospital around 7 a.m.
Impairment is being investigated as a factor in the collision.
The three previous wrong way driver crashes resulted in seven deaths over the past two weeks:
- Monday May 12 a drunk driver going the wrong way near I-10 & US killed Mesa Police Sgt. Brandon Mendoza. The drunk driver died as well.
- Friday May 16 three people were killed when a wrong way driver slammed into a minivan on I-17 near Black Canyon City. The wrong way driver remains hospitalized.
- Sunday May 18 a drunk driver going the wrong way on Loop 202 near Higley killed two people. According to DPS, the wrong way driver, 68-year old Patricia Murphy was impaired and survived.
Graves said impaired driving is a community issue.
"If you know somebody is known for getting behind the wheel while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or whatever, it's up to you to convince that person to hand over the keys, to just get somebody else to drive," Graves said. "It really starts there."

Quality Inn Homestead Park
Traveler Comments
Service and quality was outstanding. Only problem was previous occupant had spilled some perfume into the room's heater. Staff was excellent in resolving the problem.
Location and service excellent. Beds very uncomfortable (worn out) shower did not drain well and toilet backed up.
Not as well maintained as expected. Reservation made over phone went quite well. Front desk clerk was abrupt and did not seem interested in being helpful. On this trip, Days Inns were a better value; better maintained and the front desk was more helpful and for a lower price.
I liked the 'can-do' attitude of the clerk at the front desk and the fact that she worked with me a little on the price of the room. I liked the fact that the motel was open after 9:00 pm and that a room was available. I liked the complimentary contintental breakfast. I disliked the price of the room that was available to me ($129.00 for one person). I disliked the fact that the waffle maker was broken and no employee could fix it for the guests during breakfast.

Tuesday May 14, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The New York Knicks might be without Iman Shumpert for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal with the Pacers.
The guard has a sore left knee. He did not participate in Tuesday morning's shootaround after missing practice Sunday and Monday.
Coach Mike Woodson says a team doctor is flying to Indianapolis before the game to examine Shumpert. He was hurt during an awkward, twisting landing in Game 3. This is same knee that was operated on last May for a torn ligament.
Woodson said the knee has been swollen since the 82-71 loss Saturday night that put the Knicks in a 2-1 hole.
Forward Kenyon Martin and guard J.R. Smith might return to the Knicks. Both missed practice Sunday and Monday with illnesses but took part in Tuesday's shootaround. Martin says he will play.

Checking Account Bonus & Top Features at Northwest FCU in Virginia
The large banks are now backtracking from the debit card fees. It's clear they didn't anticipate all of the customer anger and the bad publicity. It may be too late for them as many people are participating in Bank Transfer Day which encourages people to move their money from the megabanks to credit unions by November 5th. A lot of credit unions have jumped on this Bank Transfer Day bandwagon and are now offering bonuses to sweeten the deal for people to switch. If you are looking to take advantage of a credit union's promotion, choose a credit union that has features that will make the checking account useful for the long term. Northwest Federal Credit Union has these features, and it's also offering a nice checking account promotion.
NWFCU's promotion allows you to earn $100 when you open a checking account and set up qualifying direct deposit. To qualify for this bonus, it must be your first checking account with NWFCU, and it must be opened by 12/31/2011. According to the small print "Three consecutive payroll direct deposits of at least $500 each to the new checking account must be received by 1/31/2012 to earn bonus. Bonus will be credited to member's NWFCU checking account on the business day following the third electronic payroll deposit of $500 or greater."
NWFCU also has a sweepstakes in which members can win $1,000 when they have a checking account with the required direct deposit.
3 Important Features for Credit Unions and Checking Accounts
NWFCU and its checking account have 3 features that you should look for when you're choosing a credit union. First, it has a free checking account. Its Basic checking is free with no minimum balance requirements or monthly service fees.
Second, NWFCU is part of ATM networks which give members free access to ATMs around the nation. NWFCU members with checking accounts have free access to CO-OP and Alliance One ATMs.
Third, NWFCU is part of the shared branch network which allows members to conduct most account transactions at 4,300+ locations nationwide, including credit union branches and CU Family Service Centers.
Many credit unions don't have all of the above features. So these features can be useful to narrow down your list of the best credit unions. I have more details in my post Finding the Best Free Checking Accounts at the Best Credit Unions.
There is actually one more important credit union feature. It should be easy for you to qualify for membership. That might actually be the most important one.
NWFCU has an online membership application via andera.com. In the membership section, several options are listed including joining the Financial Awareness Network (FAN). This makes it easy for anyone to join with a $10 one-time fee. More details about the field of membership are listed in the credit union's Who We Serve page. Membership requires a minimum deposit of $5 into your share savings account.
Past NWFCU CD Deals
Many readers joined NWFCU when they used to offer competitive CD rates. Unfortunately, NWFCU's CD rates are not nearly as competitive as they used to be. One note about the standard certificates is that higher rates (up 0.25%) are available to Premier Checking members and Heritage Club members.
Northwest Federal Credit Union Overview
Northwest Federal Credit Union branches are located in the Virginia cities of Manassas, Chantilly, Herndon and Vienna. You can also use shared branches for making deposits, withdrawals and for other common banking transactions.
It's a large credit union with over $2 billion in assets. The credit union has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas Ratio of 7.35% (excellent) based on June 2011 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Northwest Federal Credit Union for more details. NWFCU is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 5500).
Other Credit Union and Bank Bonuses
We have a new bank promotions page with a table of all of the active bank and credit union promotions. You can filter the table based on the type of promotion and based on your state. I have more details about how to use this page in this blog post.
