Howard Robert Anderson, a son of Lee Hampton Anderson and Heddie Joy (Antle) Anderson, was born on May 13, 1920 at Earlham, Iowa. Howard was educated in the Winterset public schools and graduated from Winterset High School with the class of 1938.
He enlisted with the Army Corps of Engineers during World War II and served for three years in Italy. After returning home after the service, Howard then became employed with Arthur Mathes General Construction Company and worked in several states and locations. He was also involved in the building of the Pella Municipal Water Treatment Plant.
On October 29, 1950 he was united in marriage with Candida Olga Buttel at St.
Anthony's Catholic Church in Knoxville. They eventually settled in Pella. Howard then became employed at Vermeer Manufacturing and retired there after 30 years of service.
Connie, as she was known, worked as a beautician for about 20 years and was the operator of the Garden Beauty Shop in Pella until her health necessitated her retirement.
Howard and Connie enjoyed gardening, raising flowers and fishing together. Their family will remember the large dinners they held on holidays.
Connie was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and subsequently died on February 7, 1986 at the early age of 66 years.
Following her death, Howard became a greeter at the Pella Wal-Mart where he was known as "Mr. Wal-Mart" by many people.
In January of 2001, his own health began to decline and he became a resident of the Griffin Nursing Center in Knoxville. Then In April of 2001, Howard became a resident of the Sheltered Care Unit of the Pella Regional Health Center, and passed away on Sunday morning, September 1, 2002 attaining the age of 82 years, 3 months and 19 days.
Howard was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church in Pella, the American Legion Post No. 89 in Pella, and was a former council member of the Pella City Council from 1968-1971.
He enjoyed reading and treasured his yard pond watching the goldfish and listening to the fountain.
Of his original family Howard leaves a brother: Wallace and his wife, Valma Anderson of Des Moines; 4 nieces; 6 great-nieces; 6 great-nephews; and one great-great-niece.
He was preceded in death by his dear wife Connie; his parents; two sisters: Carol and May Anderson; and a brother Wayne Anderson.
Arrangements were handled by Van Dyk - Duven Funeral Home.

seems I may have been right then. and as I said before he isn't averse to using these kind of tactics to try and influence results, but to be fair other drivers have used them as well i.e the late great Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost if I remember rightly clinched titles by nugding each other off the track, but today schumi come unstuck because I don't beleive he would have been stripped of pole unless the stewards were absolutely certainthat he did it deliberately.
Maybe the stewards came to their decision because of peer pressure. Any how, if it was deemed to be an accident, people would still call him a cheat. How many times have judges, referees etc got it wrong. I still go with it was an accident. What driver would park his car on the bend of a race track. It could have gone horribly wrong and he could have been killed. What would he gain out of it. One race out of how many has he competed, and he chooses this one. I find it hard to believe. No point in trying to convince anyone because as always, people like to shoot the top sportsmen down. Maybe it is us who are the bad sportsmen, not Schumi.

Fort Greene's first beer garden has a few things down pat. There are 18 German brews on tap (crisp Radeberger pilsner, bitter Oktoberfest Hofbräu lager) and many more by the bottle. And there are plenty of affordable, satisfying small plates--like Berlin's classic currywurst. Where Der Schwarze falls short is its appearance: Despite a prime corner location and huge wrap-around windows, the space suffers from a sparse and generic design. A cosmetic improvement might make it a more inviting place to drink. Until then, we're sticking with Radegast.

The 30 Craziest Super Bowl XLVI Casual Encounters Posts
This Super Bowl Sunday, while you were getting your buddies together, frying up some food and making sure the TiVo was set correctly, the world of Craigslist's anonymous sex ads (the Casual Encounters section) was aflutter with costume requests. Unlike some of the best dating sites, craigslist is known for its community of horny strangers looking to get weird. The football season brought offers to be your human pet and, of course, dozens upon dozens of Super Bowl orgies. From San Francisco, to Vegas, to New York, to yes, even Indianapolis, here's what America's biggest day of indulgence had to offer.
From the week before Super Bowl XLVI (2012), up to the moments the game started, here are the weirdest posts from the country's Craigslist Casual Encounters sections.
- 1
Man Has Greatest Wife of All Time
Before we get started...
M4W = Men looking for Women
M4M = Men looking for Men
W4M = Women looking for Men
W4W = Women looking for Women
M4WW = The saddest thing in the world
D/D Free = Disease/Drug Free
[X]" = The size, in inches (sorry Europe), of a man's penis
6c = The number is the guy's "size" and c is "Cut" (once again, sorry Europe). The opposite being, of course "Uncut"
"Host" = When a person hosts, they mean that the "encounter" can happen at their place
MWC = Married White Couple
BBC = Big Black C*ck
BBW = Big Beautiful Woman
And now, to begin...
This is the American dream. Not only because everyone involved is pretty fat judging from the "Seeking guests who would rather work on a 12-pack than work out on their 6-pack", but because it is the American dream to have a Betty-Draperesque wife that succumbs to your every need, even being a naked waitress to your buddies and up to 4 strangers on Super Bowl Sunday. She'll even blow them if they want (alright, that's more of a European dream).
This is the most wonderful, saint-like, accommodating woman of all time and I think we all (women and men) can learn something from her. I think that we should all be able to make these kinds of compromises. And yes, I'm having an existential crisis over this Craigslist post. Sue me (please don't sue me).
Also, sure, she's probably into this stuff, but the fact that she'll bring people drinks naked just adds that bit of "she's a keeper".

Gym Party in Jersey
Everyone knows that it's every girl's dream, from tea-party age, to party at AN ACTUAL GYM. These guys were probably flooded with people looking to get the G part of their GTL day going, as well as meet REAL LIVE TRAINERS.
The end part of the post does go on to specify a few things that are worth noting, though: it's not a hook up, it's not a date, and it's not a fake invitation for sex. So sex is going to be had, is what I'm assuming (and no, I don't think the "not a hookup" part takes care of that, otherwise there's no reason for them to be in Casual Encounters).
So this means on Super Bowl weekend in 2012, there was a sex party in New Jersey that included buffalo wings, apparently a toddler-sized sandwich and a bunch of personal trainers using the gym equipment to get down and dirty.
This is the world we live in. Let it soak in. It's amazing.

Super Bowl Party Toilet For Hire
This is every parent's worst case scenario. Potty training this dude must have been a nightmare.
The craziest part is that not only is this guy out there, but there are probably people out there (not a person, not a couple, but a party of people) that wouldn't mind having some dude to pee in so that they don't have to get up.
So that they don't have to get up. He even calls the excrement/body fluids that he'd be consuming "offerings".
Seriously, when I was growing up Super Bowl parties were an excuse to eat whatever you want, but-- wait. Okay, that's still what this is. This is perfectly fine now.
Moving on...

Come Over and Wear Football Gear with Me
So this is a full grown man who has extra football gear lying around, enough for multiple guys and wants to put it on on a field, do drills (the least fun part of any sport) and then watch the game sweaty/pumped.
This, more than anything, is a testament to how football nerds (aka "jocks" or "football fans") are exactly like Star Wars nerds. Dressing up like a Jedi and going to premiere is NO DIFFERENT THAN THIS.

If You're Gay, This Sounds Like the Greatest Thing Ever -- An Epic Story
This story starts with a man who had a dream. This man lives in Danville, California (the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area), and the man posted on January 31st that he wanted to have a Super Bowl party.
He was looking to literally rock out with his c*ck out, so he invited a bunch of like-minded dudes to join in on the fun. He even gives closeted married men (a HUGE portion of Craigslist) a valid excuse for the wife.
And then...
Three days later, BAM, there he is again, only now he's up to 5 GUYS. This party of naked Super Bowl fans could start an overrated fast food chain if they wanted to! The sky's the limit. But why stop there? Why not put up a post for more dudes? But make sure to let people know the rules... and there are a HELL of a lot of rules... nobody will respond to this.
AND A FEW DAYS LATER HE'S UP TO 7 DUDES. You've really gotta hand it to these guys.
This sounds like the most chill, healthy, quasi safe and pleasant place to let out a few loads with your fellow man. If you're gay, this sounds like the greatest thing ever. Who says life doesn't have happy endings (no pun intended... until now)?

Super Bowl Sunday Public Freeballin'
Good. Now YOU have that Tom Petty song stuck in your head too.
I didn't even know this was a thing. I mean, I guess it's the gay community's equivalent of when a hot girl isn't wearing a bra or something, but man, to put up a whole post to get a free-ballin buddy seems a little bit much, doesn't it?
Either way, this guy's sports puns are impeccable.
- 7
Viagra for the Super Bowl. Of Course.
Nothin quite like gettin' hard with your bros and watching game of football while snackin' on some wings, am I right? I feel like any guys who responded to this needed to take the intensity of their experiences up a notch and they one day just ran out of drugs.
"Have you seen the Super Bowl ever, man?"
"Have you seen it HIGH?"
"Well get ready for a mind blower, man, cause I got an idea. Let's watch it...
... Hard."
BONUS: Apparently the street name for Viagra is "blue diamonds" [insert girl's best friend joke here].

Superbowl Date with Stock Trader - m4w (Upper East Side)
Read the following entry in this voice:
- 9
Stoner Doesn't Learn
I'm all for getting high. I do it all the time and it harms no one. But this guy's an idiot. Not only is he offering people an illegal substance that we know he's not legally allowed to have (since he's only in town BECAUSE HE HAS TO GO TO COURT), but he's posting it in a public forum that is policed by, well, police.
This guy's probably behind bars as we speak and I'm as much against the war on drugs/clearing out prisons and putting people in rehab as the next guy, but putting people like this guy off the street improves our general gene pool.
- 10
Worldly Academic Seeks Super Bowl Company - - m4w 45
This guy sounds like the biggest asshole on this list, and that's saying a lot.
- 11
Super Bowl and My Balls - m4w 55
"How do I get an anonymous woman to come over and pleasure me out of nowhere while I watch this game? Hmmm, I know, a seductive, compelling ad on Craigslist! What's the perfect title that'll illustrate not only how great of a time she'll have, but what I'll have planned?... I GOT IT."
- 12
Crazy Bet
What if this guy wanted to bet puppies? Like, the lives of multiple puppies.
I know most people's minds go to oral sex or more, but I'd like to stretch the imagination that this White Male wants to find some random chick and make her the kind of bet that, if she loses, will scar her for life. Sure, he's kind of doing that anyway, but a man needs to dream. A man needs to dream.
What if he's cutting off hands? What if the bet is your f*cking hands?
Anyway, it's probably sex and whoever took this guy up on his offer is now probably the past-expiration-date-tasting meat in the large casserole he brought to work for lunch on Monday for everyone to share.

Outta Town Super Bowl Fun in a Motor Home - mw4m
Because in America, we keep it classy and shoot for the stars. This is a couple (a couple) whose biggest sexual dream/fantasy is to find a "dirty old man" (or 2) with an RV so they can have sex with it.
Specifically an RV, too, no fancy hotels, no apartments or houses, but RV's. Maybe this is all these people know. Someone should tell them that non-RV homes exist too.
- 14
Submissive Patriots Fan Seeks Aggressive Giants Fan
If this were a m4m, this guy would be cleaning up with offers. Unfortunately for him, the m4w market is thin, scarce and terrifying. His game idea is awesome. It's creative and it's just crazy enough to work.
Next time you're watching sports with your loved one and you're both not doing anything but ignoring each other using the internet, try this game at home!
- 15
Seeking Super Bowl Party Fluffer
You mean a prostitute? This is a prostitute. Someone should have told this guy that he was looking for what we call a prostitute.
The weirdest part of this is that she'll probably be the person having the least amount of sex that night, as it's a full-on Swingers party. But from my experience, professional porn sets actually don't even have fluffers -- the fluffers are your co-stars. I mean, it's economical and it just *makes sense*.
Now I feel like I should've written these people just to help out with that little tidbit of information. Oh well, there's always next weekend.
- 16
Mustachioed Servant At Your Service
Because of course this guy is from California's San Fernando Valley (the porn capital of the world).
This guy is up for ANYTHING. The greatest part about this apparent veteran of having anonymous sex with strangers who are very likely to murder you as soon as you get on the wrong side of a locked door is that hey creates a paragraph of "keywords" so that people can find him.
If you read all of the options that he puts out there you know that this guy means business when he puts down not only that he's willing to travel, but that he's got a remarkably small penis.
- 17
Invite to Super Bowl Ski Trip - m4w 36
This moron wants to invite a girl on a ski trip and obviously doesn't have a ride. Not only that, but he's a guy in his mid 30s who's going to bring a complete STRANGER to a party a friend of his is having at some kind of ski resort?
I'm sure this guy got flooded with responses with willing, attractive, independently wealthy women looking to go party at a ski resort with a dude who only wants to bang.
- 18
Looking for a Transgendered Girl to Take to Super Bowl Party - m4t 34
Oh, you know, there are going to be some men and women at this party, so I figure it'll be mixed company, why not bring 2 transgendered girls. It's the clear next step in logic.
Either way, if this ended up working out for this dude, this is a very specific request, so good for him. Good... for... him.
- 19
Free Trip to the Super Bowl! - 40 (Indianapolis)
What an absolute dirtbag. Do you know how many people's time he probably wasted thinking that they'd be on the receiving end of this exchange?
Also, this guy lives in Indianapolis, so it's not like the person who has an extra ticket would even have trouble getting there to begin with. What the hell does anyone but the dumbass who made this post get? My God. The gall.
This is that friend you have that always bums smokes off of you to the 1000th degree.
- 20
Stressed Out About the Super Bowl?
Look. I get that some people maybe have a lot of money riding on the outcome of the game and that a lot of hardcore fans are probably VERY passionate and have a lot of emotional energy invested in it, but who the hell is so stressed out about the outcome of the Super Bowl that they'll make a stranger come over to their house to blow them?
Hopefully for this guy, at least 2 different people.

And from Vistaprint's perspective, I know you all know that there are risks to investing in stocks. Visaprint is not excluded. And we cordially invite you to read all of our SEC documents, which can be found on our website, to understand those risks better and understand why some of the things that we have said in the past or may say today may turn out differently than what we're saying.
Question-and-Answer Session
Andrew Ruud - Morgan Stanley, Research Division
Thank you. So if we could just rewind the clock back to the end of fiscal 2011, you guys articulated a 5-year plan for -- a 5-year CAGR of 20% growth both on top line and EPS for your core business. We're now a little bit beyond 1.5 years into that. I just wanted to kind of get your take in terms of what's gone well and what you think there's room for improvement as we go towards the -- towards your Analyst Day at the end of fiscal '13.
Ernst J. Teunissen
Absolutely. So there are a few things that worked really well compared to our plans and are more or less on track, and I want to highlight a few. One is the success we had in our North American business. So if you look at our North American business and the amount of change we've gone through in defining our customer proposition there, launching new advertising channels, like TV advertising, and substantially repositioning how we interact with our customers, that has gone very well. If you look at our revenue growth in that area and the profitability we get from that growth, it's gone more or less according to plan. Obviously, there are always puts and takes but more or less has gone according [ph] to plan. If you look at what we've been able to achieve on our manufacturing side, that has gone true to the plan as well. We've publicly said we're targeting our COGS as a percent of revenue to go down with a few percentage points in the course of this 5-year horizon, and we've been tracking nicely to that. In every quarter, since we announced that strategy change, we've seen a year-on-year improvement in our gross margins in the December quarter, which just finished. We had a year-on-year improvement of 40 basis points on our gross margin. That was 90 basis points compared to the year before that. So that has all gone very well. We're very pleased with that. We're pleased with our progress in emerging markets. We've made the investment in India, a minority investment in China. We're pleased with how our development with our acquisitions has gone, how Albumprinter is developing, how Webs is developing. So that's all going good. The one part that has not worked out according to plan has been Europe, and our European growth rate has been significantly -- has been decelerating significantly starting really in the last part of our previous fiscal year but continuing into the first half of this year. And we've seen that the changes that we've been making to our strategy have worked out really well in North America but have not worked as well as -- in Europe. And we believe that is -- [indiscernible] to the question, how much of it is the macro, that we think the macro is likely to have some, the influence. But we think it's -- if we look internally, it's largely how we've been executing on our strategy in Europe. So we think it's the right strategy. We think Europe is an attractive market for us, and there's no reason for us to be growing slower than we're growing in North America for a number of reasons I can go into. But that has been lagging behind, and we're working hard to make sure that we turn that around.
Andrew Ruud - Morgan Stanley, Research Division
Sure. So if we just go into that a little bit more, you cited it's probably more about execution. How would you guys think about the business differently in North America versus internationally that provide you with that opportunity to increase execution abroad?
Ernst J. Teunissen
So what we have done really well in North America is what we expected as part of our strategy is we've expected to create [indiscernible] because we have been changing how we sell through our customers on our site, being more focused on an easier experience rather than on maximizing the total number of products that customer went away with. We've been taking our gas -- a foot off the gas a little on how much we wanted to discount to get a customer to repeat after its first purchase in the months following but have been a little bit more patient in the way we've communicated to our customers. But that has created some headwinds and immediate repeat order frequency as well. And what we did really well in North America is counterbalance some of these effects and get the positive as well from -- as the headwinds. And the positive has been a real change in the clarity at which we price in North America, for instance, therefore, less focus on discounting on the product and more focus on an overall balance of the price, playing more with shipping, reducing, for instance, what we charge for uploads, making it much more transparent, communicating in a very different way. Our TV advertising, although it's a direct response spot, is really focusing on the brand attributes that we want to promote. So that has, in financial terms, meant that although we did see the headwind of repeat order growth slowing, we saw, for instance, our average order value meaningfully improve in North America over the period. So if we go to Europe, we just have not been as effective in making all these additional changes. And in fact, we've, in Europe, seen our average order value declined in the period rather than go up like we've seen in North America. So what we're really focused on right now is making sure that the many things that we were able to do right in North America, that we implement those best practices and adopt them as well as necessary in the European market, and we're working very hard on that. At the moment, we've made some important management changes as well in the process of that. And we feel the market is structurally very attractive, and we'll get through this, and we'll get this business to improve. It may take a little bit of time before we're actually through it. So if we look, for instance, at the back half of this fiscal year, between now and the end of June, we believe that the growth rates are still going to be subdued in Europe, single-digit type of growth rather than the full potential that we think the world trades [ph] and the markets are going to have.

Xbox One TV Advert Activates Xbox Ones - NewsPatrick Day-Childs, posted on 13 June 2014 / 1,141 Views
Some Xbox One users have been complaining that a new Xbox television advert has been turning their consoles on. The voice command function has been the butt of jokes for a while now, but it seems in this case Microsoft didn't entirely think through one of their adverts for the system.
The advert in question features Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul playing on an Xbox One. At the start of the advert he says 'Xbox On', and it is this which is causing some Xbox One owners trouble, as the voice command prompts their own Xbox One to turn on.
You watch the advert below:

On Today, at 8:52am Al Franken was on to promote his new book The Truth and repeated his twisted joke from Friday's Letterman in which he predicted that Rove and Libby will be executed for treason. Franken's "joke," drew laughter from Matt Lauer and the rest of the Today show studio. The following is just a portion of this morning's interview:

Matt Lauer: "All right, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby what's their future? What's your prediction in terms of indictments? Yes or no?"

 Franken: "Oh they, they'll be indicted. I, I am absolutely sure and this is about, of course, the war in Iraq really. It's about the justification for the war and smearing Joe Wilson by outing his wife who's a CIA agent. George H.W. Bush, the President's father, said, as, when he was head of the CIA, that outing a CIA agent is treason. I, I agree. So I think that Rove and Libby will be executed." Lauer laughed along with those in the studio.

Video excerpt: Real or Windows Media

 A complete transcript of the rest of the interview segment, starting with Lauer's reaction to Franken's "execution" line:

Lauer laughing along with others in the studio: "That aside. Given the fact it has a lot to do with the mood in this country and the, and the thought process in this country prior to the war in Iraq how much do you think the average American cares about this story right now? We had James Carville on this morning, said about a two on a scale of 1 to 10. Laura Ingraham said minus one. What do you think?"

Franken: "I think Laura Ingraham is an idiot."

Lauer chuckling: "Well you don't have a lot of nice things about a lot of conservatives."

Franken: "Well no but minus, I mean people, I think..."

Lauer: "But how much do you think people care about it?"

Franken: "I think people care, I think people care that people close to the President and the Vice President are, are outing CIA agents and lying and lying before, I think this is, and, and when they get indicted and when people start looking at this it's gonna be very, very big."

Earlier in the interview Franken drew laughs from in studio when he called the President "incompetent." Taking it from the top of the interview here is the conversation:

Lauer gladly reciting the title of Franken's first book: "The liberal voice of Al Franken first came calling when he declared Rush Limbaugh is A Big Fat Idiot, now the political satirist turned radio talk show host has a new book on the shelf simply titled, The Truth With Jokes. Al Franken, good morning. Just a little light reading? That, that by the way in the New York Times, that costs a fortune, that ad."

Al Franken: "Yes, you know that shows exactly how much faith they have in this book."

Lauer: "Yeah?"

[Graphic read: "Laughs From the Left"]

Franken: "Oh yeah."

Lauer: "How are, how are, how are conservatives gonna feel about this book?"

Franken: "They will love it!"

Lauer: "Yeah, you think so?"

Franken: "Yeah well what's, see the book is prescient. When I was writing the book there were, there were a number of people in this country who thought the President was competent."

[Laughter in the studio]

Franken: "And now, now, now, now we know he's not and that he is corrupt too so that's, yeah, yeah?"

At the end of the interview Franken couldn't resist joining the rest of the left and many in the media in their ghoulish countdown to 2000 deaths.

Lauer: "You don't have a solution for the problem we're in Iraq right now. That fair to say?"

Franken: "That's very fair to say. We do this on my show, I have a three hour show everyday on Air America and we talk to conservatives and we talk to liberals and we talk to people trying to figure out, 'cause we've been put in a terrible situation there. And we've been put in there by this President and they won't tell us the truth. That's the problem is that you can't rely on these guys for the truth. And that's what's so important. This is why this isn't a negative one. This was about trying to smear a guy who is saying they, they didn't try to buy nuclear material from, from Niger, you're lying. They lied. So I think that's kind of important and you can ask the families of the 2000 troops that died how important that is."

UPDATE 12:59 from Rich Noyes: Matt Lauer just smiled and laughed when Al Franken predicted the execution of Karl Rove and Lewis Libby. But a few weeks ago when Pat Robertson called for the assasination of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, an anti-American dictator who has cozied up with Iran's ayatollahs and Cuba's communists, Today was outraged enough to lead the show with Robertson's supposed transgression.

"We fine broadcasters for using four-letter words, we say that's offensive. So is it offensive to call for the assassination of a world leader?" NBC's Matt Lauer castigated back on August 23. But a left-wing host talks about executing top ranking officials of the executive branch — that's just a joke, right? Or perhaps Today's indignant reaction to Pat Robertson was, shall we say, a little "staged."

Aren't double standards wonderful?

The Industry Should Fund Community Development Banks
Mannion, Robert E., American Banker
In recent discussions about President Clinton's idea for a network of community development banks, some commentators have proposed that the nation's financial institutions - not the government - provide the necessary capital.
Some community activists have opposed this approach, arguing that it will simply give financial institutions a chance to buy their way out of their Community Reinvestment Act obligations.
Notwithstanding these criticisms, the notion makes sense.
Budget Considerations
First, it would not require federal spending - an important consideration with the deficit looming as a major issue.
Second, there would be no need for specific congressional authorization, which might be difficult to obtain quickly. The administration could implement the program quickly through a system of nationally chartered special-purpose banks.
There would be nothing revolutionary about this approach. Limited-purpose national banks are not a new idea. Such institutions have been set up by bank holding companies to engage in credit card and trust activities for a number of years. Retailers such as J.C. Penney Co. and Nordstrom Inc. have established limited-purpose banks.
Who would own community development institutions? Bank holding companies could become shareholders as part of a cooperative effort to address the banking needs of their low- and moderate-income communities.
Ten bank holding companies, each providing $1 million in capital, would mean $10 million of capital for a community development bank. This could support more than $120 million in assets.
Bank holding companies would welcome the idea, provided that their participation received adequate credit from regulators for purposes of reinvestment-act compliance.
The community development bank shareholders should also participate actively in the operations of these banks by providing personnel, on a permanent or rotating basis, as well as other assistance like data processing marketing, product development, auditing, and internal controls.
Holding companies that are not shareholders of the community development bank, as well as banks and thrifts, would be able to get reinvestment-act credit by placing deposits in that entity.
One of the major difficulties that many bankers perceive in the act is the subjectivity of the examination process. Try as the regulators may in policy statements and speeches, bankers are still perplexed about what will satisfy the act's requirements.
The Needs Are Clear
Another problem with the existing structure is that we have institutions falling all over themselves trying to "ascertain the credit needs of the community." In fact, it is generally known that the needs of low-income and moderate-income neighborhoods include low-cost checking home mortgage and improvement loans, and small-business loans.
Funds spent to justify and document existing programs could be better used as investments or deposits in a community development bank. …

beach weddings are so BEAUTIFUL and so easy. Beach, nice weather, super cute clothing and really breezy hair. Chairs or standing, doesn't matter. Candles in bags for affect.
IF YOU DO A BEACH WEDDING: I will give you our idea for invitations. We were going to do Message in a Bottle. Cute little bottles at the dollar store, age looking paper with the invite, a little sand and a few pebbles if you want to add it for looks. Makes a killer invite and a great saver for friends and family. We were going to hand deliver also.
Good luck and congrats. Remember to make it a great family day, and the most important part is the marriage afterward. My first marriage: $750 got married at Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Beautiful wedding, horrible marriage. Second and last wedding: $250 chapel and dinner wiht family. Married 5 years to the most wonderful man in the world and have a great life.
Derek- 8yrs happy and healthy, Austin- 6yrs: 35week preemie & CHD, Hannah & Olivia 17 months 29 week preemies
I had a beach wedding, no shoes, just the sand, it was awesome!

It's not often I find myself wishing a sunny day would turn stormy, but that's what good soup can do to you.
I knew we'd find something delicious when we traded the slightly briny air of Alki Beach for the incomparable sweetness of simmering broth that captivated us the minute we walked through the door of Saigon Boat Café.
The cook did not disappoint.
"I could eat a lake of this stuff," my favorite 8-year-old taster said as he pulled long strings of rice noodles from a hearty bowl of Vietnamese chicken soup, or pho. His buddy sucked down a blended mango shake and assured our friendly server that it was the best ever.

After settling in with some Vietnamese sandwiches (bahn mi), pho and vermicelli noodles, my young companions dug in while I turned my attention to the real star: the expansive view of Alki Beach and the Olympic Mountain range visible through large picture windows.
The menu: It includes pastries, coffee, smoothies ($4.95) and six types of sandwiches, ranging from turkey ham to tomato sardine on crunchy home-baked baguettes ($2.95). Vegetables, roasted chicken and barbecued and grilled pork are served in a variety of ways: in sandwiches, with vermicelli or rice (each $6.95, and both accompanied by salad-type vegetables), and in pho ($5.95 for a medium-size bowl). Seven kinds of beef pho also are available. Sweet milk tea served with tapioca beads (bubble tea) is $3.50.
What to write home about: The pho broth was dark and rich, and slightly on the sweet side, while the baguettes were delicately crunchy outside and pillow-soft inside. The quantity of meat in the sandwiches was more akin to thin Parisian-style sandwiches than a New York deli's, but the herbed chicken and barbecue beef had enough flavor to shine through the jalapeños.
What to skip: The grilled pork was flavorless.
The setting: A tiny slip of a place, it's trailerlike appearance outside belies the warm feel inside. Fewer than a dozen tables make for cozy dining. Patio seating puts you even closer to the beach action.
Summing up: The tab for pho, vermicelli with pork and an egg roll, two sandwiches and two bubble teas came to $27.81 before tip.

Skip to comments.Nevada ranching family claims victory as government releases cattle (excellent reporting)
Posted on 04/12/2014 8:08:46 PM PDT by Mariner
BUNKERVILLE, Nevada (Reuters) - U.S. officials ended a stand-off with hundreds of armed protesters in the Nevada desert on Saturday, calling off the government's roundup of cattle it said were illegally grazing on federal land and giving about 300 animals back to the rancher who owned them.
The dispute less than 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management had simmered for days. Bundy had stopped paying fees for grazing his cattle on the government land and officials said he had ignored court orders.
Anti-government groups, right-wing politicians and gun-rights activists camped around Bundy's ranch to support him in a standoff that tapped into long-simmering anger in Nevada and other Western states, where vast tracts of land are owned and governed by federal agencies.

That's the point, Silly Goose.
Power can be projected both ways.
Mr. Mworka is pretty close to understanding.
It looks like the BLT SWAT boys got all dressed up for nothing. No "hut, hut, huts" this time boys. You can go back to polishing your bullets now.
How many more hours before SPLC is sending out fund-raising letters citing Bundy, et al. as dangerous racists, xenophobes, homophobes . . . .
Great news! Mr. Bundy did something more people should be brave enough to do.
Soooo mysterious the lightning-fast behavioral change occaisioned by injecting the name Harry Reid into the equation, eh?
I'm SURE it has nothing to do with the Mid-terms..!!!
What's Mr. Roger Taylor's contact information?
Are we sure he's in compliance?
So the way I understand it is that his family was using the land for many years before the feds got concerned about this tortoise.
They decide it's endangered so then they start fining him? If that's the case, the feds can do this to any of us. They can ruin our businesses and take our property. All they have to do is decide a rat, mouse, snail, or turtle is endangered. They can then start fining us and drive us out of home and/or business? That's crazy.
The Federal government never retreats. Anyone who thinks they are through with this is an idiot.
From Drudge:
Backdown Comes Hours After Reid/China Land Grab Report...
We can thank those FReepers who did their homework to help the Bundys. And we can also thank Alex Jones and his organization for publishing that research.
To me it seems like we dodged a bullet again. The first being America getting publicly involved in Syria helping out the Muslim Brotherhood. John F'ing Kerry screwed that one up all by himself.
They've been using the land for some 140 years.
It's important for the entire country to understand those boys got run out of town by superior firepower.
I'm convinced by the result that the County and State LEO told the Feds: "You're on your own!"
And they freaked out. Pissed theirselves.
Mr. Mworka is quilty of conspiracy cattle rustling and should be swinging from a rope.
That's right, Sparky, and don't you and the government thugs forget it.
Don't forget the non-indigenous smelt in California preventing the San Joaquin valley getting adequate water allotments for irrigation during these drought years. The government is out of control.
How many times will that be repeated by employees of the MSM for ever and ever?
I forgive the man -- even if there is a legitimate reason for his paying the federal government.
His contribution to America is hundreds of times more valuable.. though not quite equal to the dollars spent on the Obamas' parties, vacations, weekend travels . . . .
How many cows died at the hands of the BLM and are they going to pay for them —
Test, test, 1-2-3, Test, test. Can you hear me? Test, test.
'Tis true. People are being tracked. Dossiers are being filled. Plans are being made. This is just round one.
Thew face of the new Redcoat!
There is no mention of Harry Reid and his wanting to clear the land of cattle so that he and his son can proceed with plans for building a solar plant with the Chinese. In that regard the article is far from being complete.
Can't but agree, especially with a collectivist like Obama in the WH. We may have won this battle but it will probably reoccur, either at the Bundy ranch or elsewhere. One of these times, however, it will not end so peaceably.
"posse comitatus? What's that"?
The Federal government never retreats. Anyone who thinks they are through with this is an idiot.
No. They will wait for the turbulence to subside and the people to disperse. Then they will trounce this family like a beast from Daniel.
It's apparent the patriots in the Mountain West are pretty close to prepared.
In DC they're thinking: "Next Time DHS goes in first".
These fast response milita can probably even see that coming.
Twitter, FR, innumerable other sources.
The Feds only move with power and mass. You can see it coming from miles away in the modern world.
Welcome to the American Revolution.
Not sure I've ever even seen a BLM sort here in Texas..... , albeit most of our state property is privately owned they have no real purpose here I suppose.
Wonder what that thermal pic of the area looked like from the DHS / UAV flyovers ?.....:o)
Excellent show of force by the people....well done.
Hope yer well, stay safe !
The Federal government was in violation of the Constitution because they never ceeded title to 86% of the land comprising Nevada when it became a state.
The United States government owns and has broad authority to regulate federal lands in Nevada, the BLM arrogantly insists. In response to challenges of federal ownership of the lands in Nevada, the 9th circuit held that the federal government owned all federal lands in Nevada, and that those lands did not pass to the state upon statehood.
This is in direct conflict with Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution.

I would agree to the extent that it is because the federal government is today commanded by aged 1960s New Left Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue -- arguably even that they are the Establishment.
As talk of war in eastern Europe, Asia, wherever and whatever I can see crackdowns on "sedition" to destroy critics.. again I predict a repeat of FDR'S Great Sedition Trial of 1944.
It failed because Americans in positions of power put an end to it.
Look who's in power nowadays. We have two Americas: them and us.
Just curious:
Had anyone else found/posted this notice I came across in the Federal Register?
It would be informative to see just how many Nevada ranchers have been driven off their land by the BLM - EPA.
Yeah, he can have my share. Better investment of my hard earned money than 75% of the other horseshit the government spends it on.
I heard on the Mark Levin show a night or two ago that the tortoises they are so concerned about are actually thriving - so much so that they are euthanizing them in the protected areas that have been set aside for them. Also, he said they have existed with the cattle for many years with no ill effect. I have not heard that reported anywhere else. The real story, of course, is Harry Reid, his son and the solar farms the Chinese want to build on that land - the new head of the BLM Nevada - a Reid donor. Additionally, as someone here posted a few days ago, why does the Fed. Government own sooooo much of the territory of the western U.S.? It looks like a third of the entire U.S. if not more!
on the news last night they said the situation had gone global. That sure helped a bit...Ruby Ridge didn't have the back up or the internet.
I wonder what it is going to take to get Holder's Justice Department to comply with the law?
I believe Erkl is very angry and frustrated at this. When a tyke is angry and frustrated, it lashes out. I expect Erkl will lash out very soon.
To kill a snake you must cut off its head.
cowards and thieves hide behind masks....it should not be allowed in law enforcement...they must be fraidy cats...
No. Thanks.
Odd the timing. No reason stated for the closure that I could find.
Land owners still have right of way. What do you think it means? Except for the timing. I know why that's there.
Now that that, what, Rob? They might take their country back from the government "experts"? Americans nearly shot Americans today, Rob, and not for the first time. My advice is to get the hell out of the line of fire, because this isn't over.
The dem's private polls must have been on fire and the last thing the dems were wanting is another millstone around their collective necks, definitely about Nov. Mid-Terms.
It's not over. This was just a skirmish. Now is the time to press the issue and to prepare.
Thank you. Excellent, informative post of record.
It shows the BLM dictated, by their own bureaucratic fiat, and without force of court order or any other judicial review, that 600,000 acres of the peoples land was off limits to them.
The epitome of lawlessness.
They did today...

How do you wear the skirt as a top?
BEST ANSWER: Pull the waist band up and over your chest, I use a safety pin (hidden) and clip earring attach the belt to the center of the band at the center front. Loop the belt ends over the shoulder and tie at neck. A jacket placed on top to cover your arms cleans up the look. Sharp looking and nobody knows you are wearing a skirt as a top. Don't worry about the belt at neck I have worn the belt covering my bra straps with the use of an additional safety pen and I have worn the skirt as a top w/jacket and the belt tied at my waist really a cute and comfy top. Just pull waist band up over the top of your chest resting on your body and play with the belt as straps, tie or as a belt.

This application is a Divisional Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/887,086, filed Jul. 9, 2004, and now U.S. Pat. No. 7,071,097.
The present invention pertains to the process of producing intralayer and interlayer structures in Very-Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) and Ultra-Large Scale Integrated (ULSI) devices and high performance packaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to fabricating interconnect dual damascene structures.
The fabrication of Very-Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) or Ultra-Large Scale Integrated circuit (ULSI) requires metallic wiring that connects individual devices in a semiconductor chip, to one another. One method of creating this wiring network on such a small scale is the dual damascene (DD) process schematically shown in
A hard mask layer 130 is optionally employed to facilitate etch selectivity and to serve as a polish stop in a subsequent fabrication step. The wiring interconnect network includes two types of features: line features that traverse a distance across the chip, and the via features which connect together lines in different levels. Historically, both layers are made from an inorganic glass such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) or a fluorinated silica film deposited, for instance, by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
In the dual damascene process, the position of the lines 150 and the vias 170 are defined lithographically in photoresist layer, 140, depicted in
After the trench formation, lithography is used to define a via pattern 170 in the photoresist layer 140 which is transferred into the dielectric material, 110, to generate a via opening 180. See
The dual damascene trench and via structure 190 is shown in
In order to improve performance, the semiconductor industry has shrunk the gate length and as a result the chip size. As a consequence the interconnect structure that forms the metallic circuitry has also shrunk. Traditionally, the via levels are one of the most challenging to print with a high process latitude. In order to improve the manufacturability of the lithography step, advanced masks that incorporate phase-shifting, resolution enhancing techniques and optical proximity correction have been employed. Nevertheless, continuing efforts are underway to develop further improved interconnect fabrication techniques.
The present invention relates to the fabrication of an interconnect structure utilizing an advantageous sequence that allows for the elimination of some of the constraints on the via level patterning. The present invention is applicable to any two pattern levels that when spatially overlaided, their intersection produce the desired via opening.
The fabrication method of the present invention relates to providing a interconnect dual damascene structure. The process comprises the following:
The present invention also relates to interconnect structures obtained by the above disclosed process.
A further aspect of the present invention relates to an interconnect dual damascene structure which comprises an aligned dual damascene pattern of a line level pattern and an elongated via-level pattern; a conductive liner layer and conductive fill metal in the aligned dual damascene pattern forming a set of metal lines; and wherein the conductive liner layer and metal are coplanar with the top layer of the damascene pattern.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention as well as presently preferred embodiments thereof and the best known techniques for fabricating integrated circuit structure in accordance with the invention will become more apparent from a reading of the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In order to facilitate a further understanding of the present invention, reference will be made to the Figures.
Reference to
The via-level mask 12 is typically a hard mask material such as silicon nitride, N Blok, Blok, Coral, Black Diamond, SiCOH, or an organic mask such as FFO2 from Honeywell. The via-level mask may optionally be a multilayered stack of the hard mask materials. The via-level mask is patterned using conventional techniques such as reactive ion etching (RIE). The pattern 13 according to the present invention is an elongated via pattern. The via pattern is elongated orthogonally relative to the subsequent to be formed line-level pattern. The pattern 13 is typically elongated to at least about 10% of the desired line spacing. The pattern 13 is typically elongated to less than ˝ the desired line spacing. Preferably pattern 13 is elongated from about 10% to less than ˝ the desired line spacing. See
Next a layer 14 of line-level dielectric is deposited in pattern 13 on top of patterned mask 12. See
Suitable hardmask materials are tailored by the particular dielectric materials used in constructing the structure and can be determined by those skilled in the art without undue experimentation once aware of this disclosure. For example, when employing Silk, the hardmasks can comprise SiCOH, Blok, SiO2, NBlok, Si3N4, and spin-on silsesquioxanes. For SiCOH based structures, the hardmasks comprises BLOK, RESIST, SiO2, N BLOK, SiCOH of lower porosity or chemical composition, FSG and TEOS. The mask layer 15 can be etched by reactive ion etching for instance.
The dielectric layer 14 is anisotropically etched to transfer the line-level dielectric to form the troughs 17 as shown in
In addition, where the elongated via patterns is opened in the via-level mask, the etch progresses to the bottom of the via-level dielectric 10 generating the via 18 as shown in
Subsequent conventional metallization and polishing generates the dual damascene interconnect structure containing the liner 19 and the inlaid conductive material 20 as shown in
Typical barrier layers 19 are tungsten, titanium, tantalum, nitrides thereof and alloys thereof. Also, the barrier layer can include two ore more layers (e.g.—W/Wn bilayer). The preferred barrier layer comprises tungsten. The barrier layer 19 is typically deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or by sputtering such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) or ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD).
A further example of suitable barrier material is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,437,440 B1 to Cabral, Jr. et al.
Typical conductive lines 20 are Cu, Al, Ag, Au and alloys thereof, and more typically Cu and Cu alloys.
The conductive line material can be deposited by these processes known in the art. When material 20 comprises copper and alloys thereof, the preferred deposition technique is electroplating such as those disclosed in U.S. Ser. No. 09/348,632 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,331,237 B1 to Andricacos et al.
Next, the dual damascene structure is capped with a electromigration and diffusion barrier 21 shown in
One problem addressed with this integration strategy of the present invention is illustrated in
In addition, the integration strategy shown in
The foregoing description of the invention illustrates and describes the present invention. Additionally, the disclosure shows and describes only the preferred embodiments of the invention but, as mentioned above, it is to be understood that the invention is capable of use in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and is capable of changes or modifications within the scope of the invention concept as expressed herein, commensurate with the above teachings and/or the skill or knowledge of the relevant art. The embodiments described hereinabove are further intended to explain best modes known of practicing the invention and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention in such, or other, embodiments and with the various modifications required by the particular applications or uses of the invention. Accordingly, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein. Also, it is intended that the appended claims be construed to include alternative embodiments.
All publications and patent applications cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference, and for any and all purposes, as if each individual publication or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.

It's not quite heartburn and I'm not sure if this is what they would call acid indigestion or what. With my previous pg's I had lots of heartburn with this one it has just been this burning sensation inthe back of my throat like their's vomit wating back there...I know that sounds really gross. Nothing seems to make it go away. Any suggestions? Tums do not work for this and milk doesn't seem to help either.
Burning sensation in the back of my throat...
My guess is its acid back there. I got it the other day after I bent down to get a pan out of the cupboard. Came right up and it wouldnt go away for hours! I tried Rolaids, drinking stuff, nothing worked. The Rolaids helped for like 3 minutes and then it came back. I finally just went to bed. And when i woke up it was gone. Sorry Im not much help. I couldnt find a solution either. It was torture, so I told DH Im no longer bending over for anything LOL. Not going through that again!
Proud mommy of George born 11/2008 & Jack 9/2010
I have the same issue - blah! Only, some nights, I actually do vomit in my sleep! What a lovely way to wake up, eh? My dr. said to try Mylanta or Maalox for immediate relief, but that stuff is NASTY!! I picked up the chewable Mylanta Ultimate Strength tablets and they seem to be helping quite a bit. I hate the chalky tablet stuff, but it's much easier to get down than the liquid. Good luck!!
Its called acid reflux i think. I got it with mine and DD is getting it with this pregnancy. Make sure you brush your teeth, according to the orthodontist, when you get it so the acid doesnt eat your teeth. DD Dr. gave her tagament for it.
Thanks for the suggestions. I 've been dealing with this for about the last 3 months. All the suggestions for heartburn as far as not laying down for so long after you eat and such don't seem to work and it doesn't seem to matter either what I eat or drink. For the last 3 days I've only drank water and I still have it.
I've had acid reflux problems this pregnancy, too. It feels like a lump in my throat that burns. I read somewhere (Babycenter newsletter?) that drinking a bunch of fluid on an empty stomach can make it worse. It seems to be true, so I try to have a little something in my stomach all the time. (Much like battling morning sickness.)
Also, my doctor told me to take Pepcid (I bought the generic to save $$) for a prior issue, and when I brought up this new symptom to her, she said to go ahead and take the two pills you are allowed a day (like morning and evening), even if my symptoms are bothering me right then because it will be effective the longer I take it regularly. It really does seem to help.

I've had the same thing and it sucks! My doctor recommended taking zantac a half hour before I eat and taking maalox when I need immediate relief. It helped a lot. Now that the little guy has dropped it's pretty much gone away. Hopefully you will all get relief soon!
I have been getting acid reflux for months-- sounds like that is what it is. I had it worse with my DS. Tums help for me, as well as Papaya Enzyme after meals, and drinking a glass of milk helps me sometimes too. (Milk is basic, so it counteracts the acid.) Sleeping propped up helps (mine doesn't seem related to what or when I eat).
Mom to Cole 7 and Finn 4 and Mila 8/30/12
I get this once in a while even when I am not prego, and tums,zantac, milk nothing worked. Just by chance I tryed a jolly rancher hard candy and it WORKED, and really fast. I keep a bag by my bed and when it shows up I just suck on a candy and can go back to sleep. Maybe give it a try and see, it works for me and you are not taking meds, which I had taking anyway.
Good luck and sorry you are having this.
I have acid reflux myself. I had it before baby, but it wasn't bad at all...now that I'm pregnant, it's the worst thing ever! I take tums for relief and those work, I also make sure I'm propped up at night when I sleep (keeps the acid down). Also, make sure you don't eat a lot of spicy, rich flavored foods...for example...I try (notice I said try...LOL) to stay away from tomatoes, french dressing, mexican food, spaghetti sauces, bbq sauces, some salty foods and onions can be a killer too. hope my tricks help..GL!!!
