Fame has its price, and for many female celebrities, that price comes in the form of cruel comments about their bodies. Now Lady Gaga is wielding her weapons of words to respond to the rude and crude comments about her weight, reported People magazine on July 23.
Critics attacked the superstar singer's appearance after she performed at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. They used Twitter to fuel the fat-shaming frenzy, with comments such as "this isn't sexy; this is fat" used to caption Lady Gaga's photo.
Lady Gaga posted a photo of herself looking glamorous in response, with the caption: "Curvy and Proud." It earned 145,000 likes, with comments from fans such as "You look beautiful being you."
The negative feedback also compared Lady Gaga to other artists, linking her weight to her career fate. One person wrote: "Gaga is over, she is fat, Katy [Perry] is better than her," reported Us Weekly on July 22.
However, Lady Gaga has developed the ability to deal with bullies. She started her own social media campaign to encourage self-acceptance and has been candid about her battle with both bulimia and anorexia.
Although she reportedly went on a gluten-free diet at one point and took spin classes to slim down, Lady Gaga also has been vocal about her belief that weight loss should not be a requirement for her success. She's been active in her use of social media against fat-shaming and bullying.
"Today I join the BODY REVOLUTION. To Inspire Bravery. And BREED some m*therf***ing COMPASSION," she posted. "May we make our flaws famous, and thus redefine the heinous."
Lady Gaga also has emphasized that her boyfriend accepts her as she is. "My boyfriend prefers me curvier, when I eat and am healthy and not so worried about my looks," she wrote. "And I am proud at any size."
But in the United States, 20 million women and 10 million men experience eating disorders at some point in their lives, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. Beyond that, many more suffer from body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors and attitudes.
The latest research shows that 40 to 60 percent of elementary school girls worry about their weight and fear becoming fat. And for most of them, those fears continue throughout their lives.

By Heather Harrington
Being from Long Island, it feels as if everyone knows everyone and everyone knows someone who is/has been in a band. The music scene on the Island is a close knit group; you don't just go to a show on Saturday night to see the bands, you go to see your friends. Possessing a deep "DIY" ethos; Long Island bands book their own shows, promote their own shows, and if they want something to happen they don't wait around for someone to hand it to them-they go out and make it happen. There's no way to determine which Long Island band is on top; there are so many great underground bands littered all over and each band brings their own specialties to the mix. Despite what many people think, the best thing about this scene is that there is no competition: every band looks out for one another, every band supports the other. Long Island isn't just a music scene– it's a family too.
Recently, the largest trend in the Long Island music scene seems to be indie rock and hardcore. These two genres couldn't be farther from each other on the musical spectrum; indie rock is that kid in the thick rimmed glasses and sweater vest, whereas hardcore is the kid with the big Doc Marten boots who always looks really angry. Long Island has really been put on the map in the past few years with bands like Brand New, Taking Back Sunday and Glassjaw. These bands have paid their dues to the scene and have battled their way to get to where they are; now that they're on top, it's time to pass the torch to a few other Long Island bands worthy enough to keep the scene alive:
Patent Pending: Formed in 2000 as a ska band, Patent Pending really are the underdogs of the Long Island scene. They've gone through numerous members changes (most recently singer Michael Ragosta left the band to pursue his own project, This Good Robot, being replaced by brother/guitarist, Joe), and label issues without batting an eye. Now a pop-punk powerhouse, the band has sold thousands of CD's and DVD's, toured relentlessly and released the much anticipated EP, Attack of the Awesome this past summer. They've also got a cult-like following that call themselves P-Unit and frequently bust out into choreographed dance moves on stage. You can catch the band playing their next show at the Smithtown East High School on Nov. 13.
Love, Robot: Originally a 3-piece hardcore act, Love, Robot has come a long way and developed their own sound that is really a change of pace for the scene. A dual male/female vocal adds interesting twists to the song dynamics, almost giving them a he-said-she-said perspective. The band also incorporates ska, pop-punk and hardcore breakdowns into their music to keep fans listening to different things, they're not just pigeonholed into one genre. In their short time as a band, Love, Robot has made notable accomplishments: they were featured on the compilation Rock 4 Life; they were selected by Greenlight Firms to record a song with them, and have played with such acts as Sing it Loud and A Rocket to the Moon. Love, Robot has even placed in the finals in Band and Venue's Battle of the Band's and has won Club Loaded's Unsigned Band Festival. The band, who has accumulated an ever-growing fan base, is currently working on a new EP that is sure to get the hearts of pop-punk kids a-fluttering.
Casari: Formed in 2007 out of the ashes of another post hardcore/screamo band, Death Within The Hour, Casari really has taken the scene by storm. In the few short years that the band has been together they've left no stone unturned. Casari has dropped two EP's, independently released their 2008 debut, A Sinking Feeling (which they've sold over 800 copies), have toured not only locally but statewide and played a date on the Van's Warped Tour. Casari has recently released their second full-length, Semblance, which can be downloaded for free off the bands MySpace. The band will be playing the Battle of The Bands at Broadway Bar in Amityville on November 21st.
Bomb the Music Industry!: When you think of DIY bands on Long Island, this ska collective definitely takes the cake. The band consists of Jeff Rosenstock and a constantly changing group of musicians. Rosenstock, formerly of the Arrogant Sons of Bitches, continued writing and recording music on his parent's computer after ASOB broke up, and most of the revolving door of musicians is friends and contributors that help with the touring and recording process. BtMI! is DIY right down to their small, donation fueled record label, Quote Unquote Records. The band operates in a very anti-music industry manner and prides themselves on their work ethic. Rosenstock didn't want to invest his money into pressing CD's and shirts when he wasn't going to see any of the profit's back, so instead he offered up his music on MySpace free of charge, only asking for voluntary donations in return. Keeping with the DIY ethic, the band has been known for bringing stencils and spray paint to shows to let kids create their own merch, and encourages fans who know BtMI! songs to perform with them onstage.
Crime in Stereo: This is a band following in the likes of Gorilla Biscuits and Strike Anywhere. Their first debut onto the scene was their 2003 split with fellow New York hardcore act, Kill Your Idols on Blackout! / Brightside Records. After a few more labels and a few more releases, the band landed on Bridge Nine Records and toured relentlessly. The band took a short hiatus (where one of the members even became a teacher) but soon came back in full force with their album Crime in Stereo is Dead in 2007. The band is currently working on a new CD which should be out sometime in February.
Incendiary: The one thing you can say about the Long Island scene is how well we share things. Incendiary, made up of members from fellow LI band Soldiers, formed in 2007 and is heavily influenced by mid-90s hardcore acts such as Snapcase and Strife. The band has a way of capturing the heavy, straight-forward breakdowns that is very reminiscent of old New York hardcore without it seeming dated. Incendiary's honest, intellectual and insightful lyrics are also a fresh welcomed change in today's scene.
Soldiers: Soldiers is a hardcore band formed in 2006 as a side project of Rick Jimenez and Dan Bourke of This is Hell. After playing a handful of shows, the band caught the eye of Five Point Records which re-released the bands EP The Tombstone, which set the band up for a full Northeastern tour. The band almost signed a deal with Eulogy Records, but went with Trustkill Records instead and released their full length End of Days in 2007. The members of Soldiers have been around for a while, they take their experiences and express their opinions in a non-traditional way, they represent the new sound of LI hardcore, and they are ready to fight for the scene they believe in.
This is Hell: As previously stated, Long Island loves to share and This is Hell especially loves to share. Many of the members of this hardcore band spawned off their own bands (see above), but always come back to their roots. This is Hell formed in 2004 after members of The Backup Plan, Subterfuge, and Scraps and Heart Attacks began playing together after their bands broke up. After their formation, the band began playing shows and let out a four song demo. The band started gaining popularity and released a self-titled EP through State of Mind Recordings. This is Hell then toured in support of their EP, and signed with Trustkill Records in 2005. In 2006, the band released their record Sundowning, which got them noticed by magazines such as Alternative Press and Rock Sound. After spending much of 2006 and 2007 on the road, the band released 2008's Misfortunes and mutually split with Trustkill. The band didn't let the split hold them back; they released their newest EP on both 7" and digital download this past summer on Think Fast! Records. This is Hell recently signed with Rise Records and should hopefully be putting out a new full length in the spring of 2010.
Stray From The Path: 2001 saw the inception of one of L.I.'s most popular and groundbreaking hardcore/metal acts to come out recently. Stray From The Path strives to make their music unlike any others in the scene today; they fuse together hardcore, metal, jazz and other intricate sounds. Aside from the different styles they bring to the table, SFTP's unpredictability sets them apart from other bands. The band started playing shows after only a month of practicing and soon found themselves in the big leagues, opening shows for such acts as As I Lay Dying and Misery Signals. This exposure helped them get noticed on a larger scale and develop a steady following. The band has been grabbing the attention of listener's since their DIY ethic first broke them onto the scene, their much anticipated new release, Make Your Own History, is slated to hit stores this month.
Nightmare of You: They always say that when one chapter of your life ends, another begins. This sentiment rings true for Brandon Reilly, who formed Nightmare of You in 2004 after his old band The Movielife disbanded. The band has toured US and Europe as a headlining act and in support of bands such as AFI, The (International) Noise Conspiracy and Brand New. NOY have been nominated for mtvU Woodie Awards for Best Tour and Most Downloaded, and have won Yahoo! Music's "Who's Next?" competition in 2006. The band released their first record on their own label, The Bevonshire Label, and then licensed it out to East West Records in the US and the UK's Full Time Hobby. Nightmare of You has come out with numerous videos, all of which have gained popular airplay on Fuse's Steven's Untitled Radio Show and Oven Fresh, and one of the band's songs, "Dear Scene, I Wish I Were Deaf" was featured in the EA Sports video game FIFA '07. The band recently released their second full length studio album, Infomaniac, this past August. Nightmare of You will be playing the Studio at Webster Hall on November 27th.

Red Raiders, Lady Raiders Hit The Road
Texas Tech is primed for two road meets this weekend in both New Mexico and Boston.
Texas Tech Notes | New Mexico Classic Meet Information | Boston Valentine Invite Meet Information
Feb. 6, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech track and field team is set to hit the road this weekend as the Red Raiders and Lady Raiders are scheduled to compete at both the New Mexico Classic and Boston Valentine Invitational.
Both meets are scheduled to begin Friday and continue through Saturday afternoon.
"We are excited about the opportunity both of these meets provide our athletes," head coach Wes Kittley said. "The New Mexico Classic and Boston Valentine Invitational are each highly-competitive and will provide our student-athletes an opportunity to put up good times and marks as we continue to progress throughout the season."
The majority of Texas Tech athletes are scheduled to compete at the New Mexico Classic, while seven distance runners will make the trip to Boston. Joining Texas Tech at the New Mexico Classic will be several Division I programs including Arkansas and Texas.
Texas Tech enters the meet after a strong showing at the Masked Rider Open last week where sophomore Le'Tristan Pledger broke the school record in the 55-meter hurdles and a handful of athletes jumped further up the national indoor qualifying list.
In all, Tech enters the weekend with nine individual and relay performances in the top-16 of the national indoor performance list.
Friday's events at the New Mexico Classic are scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Tech sophomore Le'Tristan Pledger enters the weekend after breaking the school record twice in the 55-meter hurdles at the Masked Rider Open. Pledger, a 2013 national qualifier in the 100-meter hurdles, finished first in both the preliminaries and semifinals of the event - clocking a 7.64 and 7.59 respectively. Both were school records. Her time of 7.59 converted to 8.19 in the 60-meter hurdles and currently stands at No. 6 nationally and No. 2 in the Big 12. Meanwhile, Shujaa Benson currently paces the Red Raider hurdlers, and enters the weekend with a season-best of 7.40 in the 55-meter hurdles (1/17 TTU Open) and 8.08 in the 60-meter hurdles (1/25 Texas A&M Triangular).

"His gun was seized and he was later charged with disorderly conduct after police say witnesses claimed they were scared for their lives."
A man dressed as a banana makes people scared for their lives, while police dressed like Darth Vader does not scare anyone ?
Hard to fathom the minds of the PC types, yikes!
was cited for violating a city ordinance that prohibits soliciting in and alongside roadways
From the title I thought this was going to be something from Monty Python :D
Good grief :dunno:
I think it could fit right into a Monty Python skit.
With a few tweaks it could be a very funny Monty Python skit,,,Tommo,,
are people really that fragile nowadays though that they freak out at a guy in a banana suit with a sign pointing to a gun shop and caring a slung 47 outside to be a threat???? Gezzzzz
Nowwww,,,,, seeing some regular looking guy walking around in a maul with a slung AR might be an entirely different story with me.
You must admit, in that particular circumstance , the guy in the maul, you'd be outa there and on the phone too,,,I sure would. That's pushing the limits if you ask me and that guy was an ass for doing so. That's what they make gun cases for if you do have to go into a maul type setting with it for some reason. IMO in that case,, that was just plain stupid on his part and a bad example of a consensus gun owner. I'd have thrown the book at him if I'd had any say in the matter and was in a LE capacity. No wonder we have issues caring sometimes!

LANCASTER, Pa., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* has turned on its 4G LTE network in Lancaster, bringing customers the latest generation of wireless network technology. Watch here to see several of the benefits AT&T 4G LTE provides, including:
- Faster speeds. LTE technology is capable of delivering mobile Internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G. Customers can stream, download, upload and game faster than ever before.
- Cool new devices. AT&T offers several LTE-compatible devices, including new AT&T 4G LTE smartphones and tablets, such as the Sony Xperia™ TL, LG Optimus G™, Samsung Galaxy S III, Motorola ATRIX™ HD, HTC One™ X, Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy Note™ II, HTC One™ X+, Samsung ATIV smart PC and ASUS VivoTab™ RT.
- Faster response time. LTE technology offers lower latency, or the processing time it takes to move data through a network, such as how long it takes to start downloading a webpage or file once you've sent the request. Lower latency helps to improve services like mobile gaming, two-way video calling and telemedicine.
- More efficient use of spectrum. Wireless spectrum is a finite resource, and LTE uses spectrum more efficiently than other technologies, creating more space to carry data traffic and services and to deliver a better network experience.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120612/DA23287LOGO)
"We continue to see demand for mobile Internet skyrocket, and our 4G LTE network in Lancaster responds to what customers want from their mobile experience — more, faster, on the best devices," said J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid-Atlantic.
AT&T's 4G Network
AT&T's innovation and investment has resulted in the nation's largest 4G network, covering more than 285 million people with ultra-fast speeds and a more consistent user experience. That's coverage in 3,000 more 4G cities and towns than Verizon.** Our 4G LTE network delivered faster average download speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld's most recent 13-market speed tests.
AT&T's 4G LTE network delivers speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G***, as well as multiple innovations that optimize the network for performance. Our network's radio components are placed close to the antenna at most cell sites, instead of inside the base station, which helps minimize power loss between the base station and antenna and, in turn, improves the performance of our 4G LTE network. The network also is designed with its core elements distributed across the country, which helps reduce latency, or the delay when using the Internet, because your request isn't traveling as far.
Even as AT&T continues to expand its 4G LTE coverage, customers can get 4G speeds outside of 4G LTE areas on our 4G HSPA+ network, unlike competitors, where smartphone customers fall back to slower 3G technologies when outside of LTE coverage.
AT&T's focus to deliver the best possible mobile Internet experience goes beyond 4G to embrace additional connection technologies. AT&T operates the nation's largest Wi-Fi network**** including more than 31,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots at popular restaurants, hotels, bookstores and retailers across the country. Most AT&T smartphone customers get access to our entire national Wi-Fi network at no additional cost, and Wi-Fi usage doesn't count against customers' monthly wireless data plans.
AT&T also is a leading developer of Distributed Antenna Systems, which utilize multiple small antennas to maximize coverage and speed within stadiums, convention centers, office buildings, hotels and other areas where traditional coverage methods are challenging.
Over the past five years, AT&T invested more than $115 billion into operations and into acquiring spectrum and other assets that have enhanced our wireless and wired networks. Since 2007, AT&T has invested more capital into the U.S. economy than any other public company. In a July 2012 report, the Progressive Policy Institute ranked AT&T No. 1 on its list of U.S. "Investment Heroes."

Ho ho how to celebrate Christmas in July
10 Great ways to ring in 'the most wonderful time of the year' during Cape Town's winter
10 Great ways to ring in 'the most wonderful time of the year' during Cape Town's winter
Do you cherish the Christmas season? Then why not celebrate it twice a year!
Christmas in July is the Southern Hemisphere's mid-year chance to observe all of the wintry Yuletide traditions that come with the merry December holiday.
Cape Town has taken the occasion to heart, with many of the its restaurants, wine farms and even surrounding towns hosting festive occasions jam-packed with everything from tinsel to eggnog. And to help you make the most of the upcoming 25th of July, we've scoured the city for Christmas-y events as well as given you some top tips on how to deck the halls at home. Tra la la laa!
1. Christmas in July Festival in Tulbagh
The folks from the quaint town of Tulbagh turn their dorp into a winter wonderland from Saturday, 28 to Sunday, 29 June 2014. The family-friendly affair promises a host of festive fun, including Yuletide-inspired eats and warming drinks, a craft market, art and photographic exhibitions, cheese and chocolate tastings and a live music concert. And of course, there'll be plenty to keep the young tykes happy as elves: think pony rides, a jumping castle and an appearance from Santa himself. We guarantee that you'll have yourself a merry little Christmas at the 2014 Tulbagh Christmas in Winter Festival.
2. A Starry Night at Stardust
From Monday, 21 to Thursday, 24 July 2014 this restaurant-cum-dinner theatre is serving up a three-course Xmas feast. Patrons will be delighted not only by the mouth-watering menu (think prawn avo ritz martini, roast beef, stuffed turkey and Xmas pudding) but by the talented troupe of singing waiters. If a silent night is what you had in mind, then this isn't for you – expect to be dancing on the tables by the end of the evening.

6. Winter Wonderland Festival in Gordon's Bay
The seaside town of Gordon's Bay, located just 50 minutes outside of the Mother City, hosts its magical annual winter festival once again this year, from Friday, 27 June to Sunday, 21 July 2014. The charming event calls on local establishments to dress in fairy lights and offer up delicious eats and family-friendly activities designed to get even the Scroogiest of Scrooges in the festive mood. Visitors shouldn't miss the Carnival Weekend, a fiesta that promises street parades, fun fairs, live music and more from Friday, 4 to Sunday, 6 July. Guests can also expect wine tastings, fine fare, three different markets, a beer tent (which will also be serving glühwein) and plenty of activities for the little ones for the duration of the festival. While there's no charge involved in attending the merry affair, certain activities do carry a price.
7. Wine Tasting at Pepperclub Hotel & Spa

8. Decorate Your Home
For those intending on going the whole hog in July, there's always the possibility of dusting off the fake tree from last year (if you have one) and stringing it with twinkly lights and tinsel. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, there are plenty of other solutions. Christmas stockings can be hung up by the fireplace or over a bedpost, and alternatively, knitting a Xmas stocking or embellishing an existing one with ribbons is a great way to get the family fired up for your Christmas party. You could also string up ornaments from the ceiling or place them strategically around the home. And if all else fails, simply hang up some fairy lights – they instantly make any space more cosy and festive.
9. Secret Santa
A much as you may deny it, part of the Christmas thrill is definitely unwrapping your way through a mound of gifts. Okay, so maybe a heap isn't in keeping with the mini Christmas – but that's where Secret Santa comes in. The game calls on the host to place the names of prospective guests in a hat, and then each guest draws a name (alternatively one person can take the responsibility of assigning names). Party attendees must purchase gifts for the person whose name they've drawn without letting on who they're purchasing for. It's best to set a price limit to avoid any awkward gift-giving. Then it's simply a matter of receiving and trying to guess who gifted which present!
10. Sip on Something Festive
Why not whip up a batch of something tasty? For the traditional at heart, we suggest opting for the classic Yuletide drink eggnog. Alternatively, whip up a pot of glühwein – this hot, spicy drink is sure to keep your guests in good spirits.

A storm system will slide by to our south on Sunday as cold air rushes in from the north. This will create a thin band of accumulating snow on the northern edge of this system.
The good news is that the band of accumulating snow will occur south of the Columbus area. Expect mostly cloudy skies through the day with highs in the middle 30s. It will be much colder than the past two days, so pull the coat back out!
As the storm system slides south of Columbus, some light snow showers or flurries may fall late in the afternoon and evening hours. Patchy areas of a dusting of snow (on grassy surfaces) may occur especially south of Columbus. In general, little to no accumulation is expected.
The cold air pulled down by this storm system will stick around for Monday as highs barely hit 40 degrees. The warmer air does make a comeback next week though! Highs will head back into the 60s on Tuesday as our rollercoaster ride (read: typical March) continues. A series of cold fronts will bring a chance for rain both Wednesday and again late Friday. Luckily no arctic intrusions appear likely next week after Sunday. However do not be surprised if colder weather makes more brief appearances beyond that!

Sandance offers NYE partygoers 'full refund' if apocalyptic fears come true
The team behind the Sandance music festival at Atlantis in Dubai have urged partygoers not to panic, insisting their New Year's Eve event will go ahead despite predictions the world will end 10 days before.
And worried fans were reassured on the Sandance facebook page that they would get a full refund should the world indeed end on December 21.
Predictions abound online that Armageddon will come on 21//12/12. The reason for this date is that the Mayan calendar, which has run for thousands of years, stops on that day.
A spokesman for Think, the events company that helps organise Sandance, told 7DAYS: "Despite rumours that the world will end on December 21, preparations are continuing as planned for Sandance on New Year's Eve.
"After checking with NASA (via its website), we're confident that our five-star music festival will go ahead despite pessimistic predictions."
The advice from NASA's Don Yeomans, who works on the space agency's near-earth programme, was that the Mayan calendar might end four days before Christmas but that it's only the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.
Yeomans said: "On December 31 our calendar ends but a new one starts on January 1." The space expert also discounted other Doomsday scenarios that are doing the rounds - such as an apocalyptic solar storm or that the planet Niburu will crash into the Earth. He said: "Thousands of astronomers who scan the night skies on a daily basis have not seen this."
The Sandance spokesman said it would seem that plenty of people are confident they will make it to 2013 judging by ticket sales. "Early Bird tickets and tables are selling extremely well and we're predicting a sell-out event," he said.
"The only people who won't be celebrating with us will be those who leave their ticket buying to the last Mayan minute, which really would feel like the end of the world."
New Year Sandance will be headlined by Ellie Goulding. The line-up also includes Rita Ora, Paul Van Dyk, Roger Sanchez and Zane Lowe.

Frequently Asked Questions about .COOP Domain Name Registration
What is .coop? .Coop is a new top-level Internet domain, or extension, that will join .com, .org and .net at the end of Internet and Web addresses later this year. The future of the Internet will be characterized by an increasing number of specialized web extensions as the .com field becomes ever more crowded. The first seven new top-level domains were recently approved; .coop was one of them! Cooperatives and credit unions, by winning one of the first new web extensions, will have an important competitive advantage in e-commerce.
Why .coop?
Location matters as much on the Internet as it does on Main Street. Online, your address, or URL, is your location. How valuable it is depends on how well it helps you stand out from the crowd. Problem is, there are now some 26 million names registered under .com, and the best names are long gone. So it's hard to stand out, and it's easy to get lost.
With .coop, credit unions have access to some of the most highly prized online real estate. Not only will credit unions finally be able to get meaningful, memorable web addresses they need to do business or promote themselves online, they'll have a web address that consumers can trust, setting them apart and above investor-owned banks. Now with .coop, credit unions can remind their members and future members that they're not just another .com.
Who is eligible for .coop?
Cooperatives, credit unions, and cooperative service organizations around the world are the only entities eligible to register for .coop names. Unlike .com, .coop will have value and meaning to consumers because eligibility is restricted.
My credit union has a .com site. Can we use both .com and .coop?
Absolutely! Many businesses already use multiple web site addresses to point to the same site. In fact, using multiple addresses is a time-tested tool that helps Internet users find businesses on the web.
If I don't plan on using my .coop name right now, why should I buy it?
Buying your name now ensures that you'll have it in case you want to activate it later. If you don't buy it now, another credit union may beat you to the punch. Many CUs have similar names and acronyms, which means there's a lot of competition for the same name. Even if you never plan to use your name, by purchasing it now, you can prevent another CU from buying it and steering your members to their site.
How many .coop names should my credit union purchase?
To reserve the memorable, meaningful names your cooperative needs for a strong web presence, you'll want to buy for several domain names under .coop.
Be creative! Think about the domain names you'll need . .
How much does it cost?
$80 per year for each name registered, with an initial minimum registration of 2 years.
How do I buy my names?
Click here to register your .coop domain name today. That will take you directly to the registration site, which provides easy-to-follow registration instructions.
Our Mission: To Serve You
We, as the financial support system of credit unions, are committed to the "people helping people" concept of credit unions as cooperative financial institutions. Our purpose is to provide credit unions with a favorable operating environment and quality information, products and services which have value, and which enable credit unions to exist, compete and prosper in the financial marketplace.

Sometimes you need to use Skype but the computer you have access to does not has it. Some computers are even intentionally set up in way that makes it impossible to install any programs. If only we could start Skype from a website within the browser. Well, I am happy to let you know that this is possible with the awesome and easy to remember website imo.im.
IMPORTANT!! Imo.im does not support Skype anymore. The new method to use is via Outlook. Read more at Skype.com
NEW!! It seems that it will soon be possible to use Skype directly from Skype.com. More here.
Imo.im lets you sign in with your Skype account and use Skype from the browser for free. This way you don't need to download and install anything and you can use it from any computer with internet and a browser.
When you visit imo.im you will see that you can not only log in with Skype, but also with your account in MSN, ICQ, Google Talk or others. To use Skype click on the Skype icon, fill in your Skype name and password and click Sign In.
After you sign in look at the right. There is your contact list. One click on any of your contacts will start a chat window. At the top of it there is a call button.
It's surprising that Skype does not have that kind of feature on its website. Many programs similar to Skype have this in their websites.
When you are done using imo.im don't forget to Sign Out by clicking the top right icon and then Sign Out.

A worthy post – quick, easy and useful to me. Thanks.6 2
Indeed a very useful article, thank you.1 1
Thanks Man. Very helpful when I'm using LiveUSB since skype is not available on the USC.0 2
I love IMO and it works with a lot of accounts including AOL but if I recall – the video chat only works if the two people connecting are registered on their site ????????
Why is anyone still using Skype when Yahoo is much better than it. My first problem with it comes from the fact it fails to allow you to remove a user name from the native application after you used it. ( for example … at a internet cafe ) The second fail is that it fails to have access to it via a web browser like mentioned in the above post. A additional fault that it refuses to allow you access to your full profile unless using their program and they deny you the ability to change account information later anytime after you link it to a mailbox including something simple like the user name.3 2
Thanks, Its really a nice post and very informative.1 2
Thanks! I am using it when I do not have time (or RAM, or permissions) to chat with friends! Thanks a lot!0 1
I think the Imo site is a great way to use the different messengers, in a browser, but there is one thing I noticed about Imo when I use it for Skype.
The messages are almost ALWAYS delayed.
Someone sends me a message and it was sent 10 minutes ago.
It's making the conversation really unnatural and we are always losing track on what was said.
The person I talk to is using the actual Skype program to chat, but I use Imo to talk to them.
I will have to look at another way to talk to them, other than using Imo, I'm afraid.0 0
Unfortunately, effective 1-st May Imo no longer supports Skype! :( Microsoft rules!0 0
Nice, I can't get Skype on my normal Kindle Fire not HD so I downloaded IMO after I saw this. Thanks it really… I mean Really helps!0 0
I tried and it kept disconnecting, although I did use it before and it worked, now Skype did something to prevent it from working. Skype is a malicious software that they will only let you use if you allow them to access your computer to steal all your information. After I signed up for Skype I started getting spams in the 10,000 per day range and had to change all my emails and delete them from accessing all my personal information. I would not use Skype unless you relish being used by them by pimping your personal information for profit. That is the true nature of how they really make their money.0 0
I agree with you Skype is trash1 0
Thanks, very helpful but how can I make video calls from plus.im0 0
Dear Mr Nikolov
Imo does not seem to provide further access without registering any imo account first. Is it possible to find out an alternative?0 0
IM+ no longer has the skype option.0 1
The IM Plus site as mentioned by Admin ( Nikolay, that seems to be doing a great job of responding to people and impressed me by attaching the date to the beginning of the post unlike many so called writers ) does show the SKYPE logo on their home page with assumption that means it works or at least at this time. Why are you all using SKYPE anyway with them constantly trailing other messenger service providers that been available for years through a browser. I wonder if they even provide full encryption because I assume Facebook does since they offer an entire protected session, maybe even YAHOO does this now after making their switch to the more secure protocol in February.0 0
After Note :
I just want to applaud the original post again to providing information that stays true to the WITHOUT INSTALLATION claim described in the beginning because many other sites ( that got no real tech expertise, only reposting information they stole from another page ) are directing people to the Microsoft plug in but that also is a download that can be disabled by administrators.
Sorry to say that the IM Plus is old by maybe two years now so nothing new here for me but I still comment on details I find if I got a few minutes.0 0
Is there another website like plus.im where i can you skype chat on the same way? Although plus.im suits me perfectly, i see that it does not work properly in some moments. For example, today all my contacts are offline, no matter what I try. I switched to another browsers, try to log-in log-out many times, to write to those contacts, but anything works.
I'll be very happy if there's another alternative of plus.im. Still, cheers for the provided information, I learned about plus.im thanks to this article!0 0
Yeah plus.im isn't working for me anymore. It keeps giving me a "authentication failed. check login/pw" error but there is nothing wrong with my credentials. Has anyone found any alternatives?0 0
That doesn't really help the people who don't have the ability to download a plugin and install it. My work computer blocks all attempts to install other software for example.
I'm desperately looking for an alternative website where I can still use the Skype messenger.0 0
I have tried also, but for some contacts I couldn't send a message. They look offline whereas actually they are online. And there was a message "failed to send message" when I sent a message to some contacts.
Any one can help me on this?
Many thanks.0 0
IMPORTANT!! Currently Imo.im does not support Skype because they have connection problems (or something like that). You can use this site instead: https://plus.im/.
The https://plus.im/ site too does not have login for skype, although it has login for other IMs…0 0

'Lucky' Daryn Pittman Stars In Dodge City
DODGE CITY, Kan. — The fireworks flew early Friday night at Dodge City Raceway Park where contact on the first turn of the first lap between Paul McMahan and Sammy Swindell left Swindell on his roof and out of the race, setting the stage for Daryn Pittman's eighth World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series win of the season at the Boothill Showdown presented by Roto-Mix.
As the green flag waved on the race, three-time champion Swindell led the field to the start-finish line. He jumped out to the lead as the three cars behind him, McMahan, Pittman and Sides jockeyed for position. McMahan drove low into turns one and two, looking for the lead.
"(Swindell) opened the corner up and I tried to dive in on the bottom and it's a little greasy," McMahan said. "And as soon as I got down there, the car took off and I got into him."
Swindell climbed from his damaged race car with his night ended prematurely. McMahan, who finished the night in second in his CJB Motorsports car, apologized to Swindell following the race.
"I know it doesn't make him feel any better," McMahan said. "It wasn't intentional – it's not the way I race. We've run all year long with Sam and never had a problem. I hate it for him and all the Big Game guys."
Pittman, who went on to lead all 30 laps in his Great Clips car, holding off challenges from McMahan, said in victory lane he was not sure what happened, but that the first lap incident between McMahan and Swindell was a big break for he and his team.
"You know what they say, I'd rather be lucky than good any day," Pittman said.
"This is a good win. This is too good of a team for us to run the way we have the last couple of races and nobody got down."

Clara Goldstein is a lovely, middle-aged Jewish woman who, because of an impending visit from her American brother, is forced to create a contrived relationship with a man of her own faith. She places an ad in a personals column and meets Raul; a well-spoken, handsome and charming gentleman whom she soon discovers is a Gentile and does not fulfill her reason for placing the ad. Clara soon realizes she has no alternative and proceeds to instruct Raul with an intensive course in Judaism. Their journey is both humorous and captivating, but not one without pitfalls. Her brother's trip is canceled, but an unexpected, deeper relationship has already taken root. Clara is a woman comfortable with her own solitude. She hesitates before taking a romantic plunge. Initially demanding, she becomes more vulnerable as her feelings evolve. Raul brings warmth to the relationship, mixing gallantry with candid honesty. These are two mature people, risking one last chance at a meaningful relationship in the autumn of their lives.

The Quarter Quell is taking shape. Weeks after rumors began swirling that Philip Seymour Hoffman had been offered the role of Plutarch Heavensbee in series sequel "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," Lionsgate confirmed on Monday (July 9) that the actor will indeed step into the pivotal part.
Readers of Suzanne Collins' best-selling series know Plutarch Heavensbee as Head Gamemaker of the 75th annual Hunger Games — a role left vacant by the demise of previous Gamemaker Seneca Crane (played by Wes Bentley). But Heavensbee's hiding a secret agenda of his own that will only become apparent to the Capitol once it's too late to stop.
Heavensbee is the first of several roles to be filled in "Catching Fire," with speculation running rampant as who will portray beloved characters like tributes Finnick Odair and Johanna Mason. Heavensbee also appears in the trilogy's final installment, "Mockingjay."
For his part, Hoffman is coming off a Tony-nominated turn in the Broadway revival "Death of a Salesman" alongside "The Amazing Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield. He was most recently seen onscreen in two Academy Award-nominated films: "Moneyball," co-starring Brad Pitt, and "The Ides of March," co-starring George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. Hoffman has a pair of films slated for a 2012 release: "A Late Quartet" and "The Master."
"Catching Fire" will begin production later this year with stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, as well as new director Francis Lawrence. The film will hit theaters November 22, 2013.
What do you think of Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee?

It's licensing work which has kept me busy in recent years, and I've created a gallery section devoted to that art. Most falls under non-disclosure agreements, so to be safe, what you see here will have been done at least a year ago or more.
The bulk of the work has been for style guides from which licensees are able choose art for their products. The guides offer character poses, turnarounds, backgrounds, graphic treatments, props, and more. All this is offered as fully rendered art ( rendered with Adobe Photoshop) and vector art (rendered with Adobe Illustrator).
I've been supplying the vector art. All generated with Adobe Illustrator. Vector art can be scaled to any size without pixelization or decay, colors can be easily changed with just a mouse click or two, and the color palette can easily change from ultra simple to very complex, so those files offer clients a wide variety of options to fit their equally wide variety of budgets.
I've done more vector coloring than anything else, but plenty of vector inking too, which has taken a couple of forms... Inking from penciled files is the norm, but I've also use the Live Trace tool in Illustrator to take traditionally inked art and convert it to vector art. Penciling has taken a back seat, other than correcting files or adding elements to files.
The galleries consist of jpeg files generated from my Illustrator files. All files were inked and colored in Illustrator only, no use of Photoshop.
Batman Animated
Some style guides were already produced before I began working with the licensing folks, but I did get to contribute to a couple of them before the animated series (and subsequently the style guides) were cancelled.
Batman Core
Represents the established DC Comics Batman look. Typically 2 and sometimes 3 style guides may be produced in one year. Plenty of requests for Batman from licensees, so these guides are on something of a regular schedule.
Brave and Bold
The most current DC animated series as of this writing. This gallery consists of style guide samples as well as some images created for the Mattel line of Batman: The Brave and the Bold action figures and toys.
Cover Project
I think the DC Covers Project was originally conceived as a style guide, then quickly gained a second life as part of the DC75 celebration. The point was to recreate some key covers throughout DC's history in vector form for licensee use or DC's use itself. Some of the source material for the older covers was either poor quality or missing altogether, so some where a challenge to recreate. In the gallery now are examples of covers that lacked good source material and were pretty much full recreations. Others with good black and white files had Live Trace potential to get things started. I completed over 150 covers for the project, and will probably add a few more "favorite" covers to the gallery later on.
Superman Core
The partner to the Core Batman Style Guides, although not quite as many produced as Batman. Samples in this gallery from a couple of guides I worked on a few years back.
Justice League Unlimited
Per usual, style guides were produced for all DC character animated series airing on Cartoon Network or later on Kids' WB. I worked on a few guides during the seasons that JLU aired.
Legion of Super Heroes
More samples from style guides produced while the series aired on television.
Teen Titans
The samples in this gallery are a combination of style guide work, and some images produced for foreign licensees. Again produced during the seasons that Teen Titans aired on television.
One of the show's animators supplied some sweet pencils for this style guide, making it one of the more enjoyable projects to come out of the licensing department. A little different color approach with this guide as well.
Super Friends
The 'big foot' characters that serve to introduce younger children to the DC Universe get the regular style guide treatment. Some samples in this gallery from a few of the guides I've worked on.
The catch-all gallery for stuff that doesn't yield the numbers to require a gallery of their own!

Immigrant advocate meets with Walorski staffers, uninvited, but isn't detained
Jesusa Rivera, a South Bend immigrant advocate, converged, uninvited, on Walorski's field office in Mishawaka on Monday afternoon.
Tuesday Nov. 5, 2013
In the end, Jesusa Rivera wasn't arrested.
In the end, she spoke with staffers of U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski on the red-hot immigration issue, though she perhaps didn't get the sort of clarity or answers she sought.
Rivera, a South Bend immigrant advocate, converged, uninvited, on Walorski's field office in Mishawaka on Monday afternoon. Other advocates gathered at the Thomas F. Eagleton Federal Courthouse in St. Louis (where six were arrested).
The aim of the concerted effort -- linked to Gamaliel, a grassroots network pushing for immigration reform -- was to press the call for reform in the U.S. House, and Rivera, like other protesters, had said she was willing to be arrested if it furthered the cause (look here). Speaking Tuesday, though, Rivera said it didn't get to that, though there were apparently some uncomfortable, awkward moments.
Rivera started with a group of other protesters, she said, but ended up entering Walorski's office alone around 4 p.m. Monday. Already inside were five Mishawaka Police Department officers, tipped off, perhaps, by the public announcement last Friday of the advocates' plans (look here).
"There was tension, without a doubt, when I walked in," Rivera said. Rivera has met three times previously with Walorski or her staff on the immigration question, but they were planned meetings, and much more relaxed.
Rivera and her colleagues seek a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants as part of any reform measure, one of the more controversial elements of the debate. "We want a pathway to citizenship. We don't want to stand in line 15 to 20 years," said Rivera, active in the Indiana Organizing Project, a Gamaliel affiliate.
Walorski's staffers, though, offered no indication if the Republican lawmaker would be favorable to such change. Rather, the staffers kept the focus on Walorski's support for increased border security. "They seemed to be so centered on border security," said Rivera.
After about an hour of discussion, shortly after 5 p.m., the staffers left the room, Rivera said, and two Mishawaka police officers entered. They asked Rivera twice to leave. She stayed put.
"I just wanted a little more tension to be felt," said Rivera. After the police asked a third time, though, she left.
According to some observers, time is running out if immigration reform is to happen anytime soon. The Democrat-led U.S. Senate passed a comprehensive plan last June, but the GOP-led U.S. House has been more reluctant to act.
"It's the push. If we're not moving this thing (forward), we wait for another five, 10 years," Rivera said.
Where things go from here remains unclear. Rivera said she's not sure where Walorski stands on the question of a pathway to citizenship, but warns that immigration reform advocates may not be forgiving, depending on how the issue unfolds, come 2014 elections.
"If you're not standing with us, how can we possible stand with you?" Rivera said.
Walorski's office on Monday said the lawmaker will "take a careful look" at any immigration reform legislation. The lawmaker didn't offer any public followup on Tuesday.
