I have been enjoying your messages since 60's. More importantly the message of salvation.
In awe of how God used Rev Billy Graham and his ministry to bring people of all nations and races to sit at the foot of the cross and worship the one and only true living God Jesus Christ! Amen for men like these, the world is in need of many more…
eu quero muito conhecer o homem de Deus, Billy Grahan, pois através dele minha fé aumentou em Crer que Jesus me ama muito e nada pode me fazer afastar dEle.
good messages we heard

2 months ago when I received my statement, there was a notice regarding change of terms. It showed my interest doubling on one account and near tripling on the other. I phone WAMU immediately, and was assured the changes were for new purchases ONLY.
A few weeks after my reassuring call, I called again to re-verify the facts and terms. I was again told that the interest would change only if the accounts were used.
I received my statements this week. One account went from 13.06% to 26.01% on full amounts due. The other went from 9.6% to 21.70%.
I called WAMU and was informed that when I made my previous 2 called inquiring about interest changes, I was given the wrong information. There is nothing they can do to reduce my rates. Period.
Both accounts contain balance transfer rates that were to remain in effect for the life of the loan.....
I closed the accounts, but will never be able to handle the increase in payments needed to keep my account under limit. I am terrified that I will end up in bankruptcy and am physically ill over this situation.
There are mony others facing this with WAMU and I believe we need relief and agree that we in turn are bailing our the banks' bad decisions.

By Wallace McBride, Fort Jackson LeaderSeptember 27, 2013
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- The Soldier Support Institute recently received the Pike's Peak Performance Award following a remodeling of the school's Advanced Leaders Course and Senior Leaders Course.
The award was issued by the Bob Pike Group, an organization that provides training for trainers, as well as consulting services to individuals and corporations. SSI revamped its leadership courses using many of Pike's instructional methods, said L.Z. Harrison, supervisory instructional systems specialist for SSI. Neither course was "hands on," he said, nor considered within the Army's established learning models.
"We created a learner-centered environment, which moved the onus of instruction from the instructor to the students," he said.
The SSI team made changes to more than 600 hours of instruction between the two courses, which were redesigned to use the latest principles, techniques, and procedures to ensure that Noncommissioned Officer Education System training was keeping it REAL, an anagram that stands for:
-- Relevant, through a continuous adaptive learning model;
-- Engaging adult-learning, experiential learning opportunities, that creates;
-- Adaptive Leaders who possess 21st century Soldier competencies;
-- Learner-centric context-based, facilitated problem-solving environment.
The educational outcomes of the courses needed refocusing to ensure alignment with 21st century Soldier competencies and the Human Resources core competencies found in Army doctrine.
"We redesigned the classroom from a linear classroom into what we call a 'pod format,' which is four groups of four students that work in small groups," Harrison said. "The bulk of their instruction is dealing with their educational experience and learning how to apply it."
Instructors also took advantage of blended learning opportunities that existed between classroom instruction and technology-based instruction. Students now can prepare for attendance by using mobile applications, which can be downloaded to smart devices and home computers, giving them immediate access to the course materials.
The use of PowerPoint slides was reduced by 50 percent through the leveraging of participant-centered learning activities that reinforced the teaching points throughout the curriculum, Harrison said.
The Pike's Peak Performance Award is a formal recognition of trainers and organizations for their implementation of participant-centered training that improves performance. Award winners are nominated by colleagues, learning professionals and Bob Pike Group Trainer Consultants.

Please don't forget as well gedit, gaim, gphoto... OTHO I use gwenview - Simple image viewer for KDE.
I was aware of those apps (except for gwenview) but I took a look in my application menu before sending my original message and didn't see any reference to them since they were hidden behind names like Text Editor, Instant Messenger and Photo Viewer whereas all the KDE apps kind of stood out.

The plan (and practice) for KDE 4 is not to add a k preffix in a gratuitous way. FWIW the only new project that I remember now that starts with k, for KDE 4, is KDE 4 itself. :-) Certainly the existing projects will retain their names, it would be foolish to do it otherwise, but please don't put intention where it is not.
Fair enough. Like I said, I have plenty of KApps in my Gnome menu and like them so I was basing my thoughts on observation from the outside of both camps. I am glad that there are efforts to make both desktop apps work together and not drive them apart. In the end, having things Just Work (TM) is what is best for the end user. /Mike

News Release: Leon County Humane Society
TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Leon County Humane Society (LCHS) is gearing up for their Dog Wash season held each year on the second Saturday of the month from April through September. Each wash is held at the LCHS office (413 Timberlane Road) from 10am-2pm. This year there will be a new Wash in October. The cost is only $10 per service per dog, and season passes are available for $63.
In 2013, LCHS washed nearly 1,000 dogs and raised $10,000 from this long-time fundraising event. With Bank of America as the lead sponsor, LCHS anticipates washing more than 1,200 dogs and hopes to raise more money than last year.
"Dog Wash is such an integral part of our history and raises much needed funds for the animals in our adoption program," said Abby Ouimet, executive director of the Leon County Humane Society. "The animals of LCHS need a range of medical care from basic to specialized and the money raised from Dog Wash helps to offset those costs."
Each Dog Wash offers baths, flea dips, nail trims and FURmination. For more information on dates, volunteering or purchasing a season pass, visit www.lchs.info/dog_wash.

I'm using the Clear Line theme, and an affiliate link which is a sub-category on my Menu Bar isn't working. Embedded code works fine when sub-category is a stand-alone Page with no Parent category. But where I really want it to show is as a sub-category on my Menu Bar under a Parent category. I've been trying to solve this problem for a whole day now. How do I fix it?
Here's the script:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var ci_cap_scriptId = "8085";
var ci_cap_bid = "1203520001";
var ci_cap_format = "718x940";
var ci_cap_bannerType = "3";
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://bc.coupons.com/"></script>
My domain is thefrugalchoice.com. The parent category (in Menu Bar) is COUPONS and I want this code under sub-category COUPONS.COM. There will be other sub-categories as well but this is the first one.
Any help you can give is appreciated.

I bought this item for our matress in our new RV. Before buying this we could feel every spring. After putting this on (can easily be put on by one person), we got the best nights sleep since we bought the trailer. Great value! I couldn't find anything close to this price in the stores!
This is a great product, especially for someone with a bad back, (such as mine), and who has a very firm mattress. I am, however, old enough that while my firm mattress works great for my back, my shoulders, hips and elbows have begun hurting in the morning. I tried several toppers, all were too soft for my back. This topper however is perfect!...supports my back, but releives the joint pain. And the price is right.
I got this for my daybed, which has the world's cheapest mattress on it -- for the cost, it's made a LOT of difference in the comfort level. I recommend.
Let me begin by saying that the shipping was prompt, but once it arrived it became clear that this product would not meet my expectations. I pride myself on having a command of basic vocabulary words like "plush". So when I read the description of this "super stuff deep support plush" mattress topper, I was half expecting to sink into marshmallow-like comfort. What a foolish girl I am! A shower curtain draped over some lawn furniture is plusher and probably less expensive. The pockets were thin and unevenly distributed. It did not fluff up after letting it sit for a while. The material had a sort of acrylic "crunch" to it that was most unpleasant. I have been pleased with many of my Overstock purchases in the past, alas; this was not one of them.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It is white. That much is true.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. One star is too generous.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Pure fiction.
This is a extremely thin mattress topper. I was shocked at the quality. It is very rough and scratchy.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. This is a very poor quality mattress topper.
It feels like a sheet on the bed, not even noticeable. Very disappointed with this purchase, especially after a lot of the positive reviews. I can't believe they describe this a Super Stuff- you have got to be kidding me.
It didn't look like much when I pulled it out of the box, but boy it made a big difference. For the money it's a good buy.
Very disappointed as the product ripped the first day. Now, I have 3 rips in it and it is just a matter of time before we can't use it anymore.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Ok
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very bad quality..made a rip in it the first day eventhough being careful.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? It was indeed soft, but as I said the quality was bad.
This is a middle of the road topper, not ultra plush, but not cheap either. good value for the $.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? yes
- How is the quality of the product? good
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes
Super Stuff Deep Support Plush Mattress Topper- ummmm... not so much. Seriously don't waste your money. I know it's gotten some decent reviews but I honestly do not know why. This mattress topper was not super, deep, supportive, or plush. It added about as much comfort as two pieces of toilet paper.
We bought this topper for a full-size sofa bed that needed just a little more cushion. It fits the bed perfectly, and although it's not exactly "plush," it provides adequate cushion to keep the sleeper from feeling the coils and bars of the mattress and frame. But we also appreciate how thin it is, because we can fold up the bed without removing it. So far, for our purposes, it's been satisfactory, and I would purchase it again.
Seems to be fine for our guest bed - adds some pillow-top feel to tour latex foam mattress. The description is exaggerated though...it is not SUPER thick or plush, but it is thick enough to be a good value.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality seems good.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate - but I think a little exaggerated as it is not SUPER thick or plush, but it is fine.
We purchased this topper for our new sofa bed. The title of the product is a bit misleading. It is neither plush nor deep. It really didn't make a noticeable difference as far as comfort with our sofa bed mattress. Would not recommend.
Although this pad is very comfortable it does not fit my bed properly. It is about 2"-3" shy on each side of the bed. I kept it only because of the cost to ship it back. This is the only reason I did not give it a higher overall rating. the comfort and the rest is great. If someone were going to buy this pad I would suggest buying a size larger.
Although this product is good value, I was disappointed with the lack of comfort. My son's bed became less rather than more comfortable to sleep in. If you are looking for a firm topper this is a good buy, but if you are looking for "plush" look elsewhere.
I like the ease of use of the mattress topper - easy to put on the mattress, easy to wash and dry. However, the fabric on this mattress topper is a lower thread count. I would prefer a higher thread count as I think the fabric is softer and lasts longer.
I looked around for a while even bought other mattress toppers and ended up taking them back. All the others had to many lumps and bumps and made my bed look like the rocky roads. Then i ordered Deep Support Plush Mattress Topper. I would reccomend it to anyone. It's comfortable and very easy to put on. Excellent buy.
Purchased for use on top of an aerobed inflatable mattress. Certainly added to the comfort. Good product for the price.
It took me a while to even find this style. As you know, most mattress pads have that all around elastic that keeps riding up sooner or later, or shift out of place. This pad actually stays in place. It's been 2 weeks & so far so good. It's firmer than I expected. I would have given it 5 stars, but it feels a bit lumpy in places & my biggest fear is, what's going to happen after the first wash. Will it get more lumpy? I don't know. My main goal was to get rid of a runaway pad & I've succeeded. If you have the same problem, this should be a very inexpensive fix.

Violin Concerto No.2 (Jaques-Dalcroze, Emile)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

just installed this, works well and saved me some time! I wanted a simple plugin to add CSS to pages and posts and this does just that.
Two small improvement suggestions:
adding an adjustable minimum capability for editing JS/CSS such as publish_posts, activate_plugins etc. as you may want editors to just edit content, but only admins can style for example.
a dropdown of css/js files in the theme to choose from, could even be limited to root of theme folder and a select set of folderrs if exists e.g. "includes/css", "styles" etc. (could even be user defined)

From my Dashboard Posts > Edit doesn't display a list of my posts (over 600), all but one were just recently imported from my WordPress.com blog.
Also, Posts > Categories doesn't list my categories, but Posts > Post Tags does list my tags. I can see a list of pages and add a page no problem.
The problem with adding a page is that there is no box to type in. Quickpress will add one from the dashboard, but all I can do is delete posts. Here's a few screenshots that will help.
I just recently migrated my wordpress.com blog over to my new hosted site. I haven't deleted the wp.com blog yet, though.
Thanks for any help I can get on this.

Who says Facebook is just for the living? Not us, that's for sure. Because we know that fictional characters love their Facebook drama as much as anyone else.
That's why today you're going to take the most recent book you read in English class (or the most recent book you read on your own) and tell the story in your own words through Facebook status updates.
Uh-oh! Did you forget your book? That's okay, we can still make it work. Quick, choose a story you're familiar with, like maybe an Edgar Allan Poe story or a familiar fairy tale.
Step 1: Before you get started, it will help if you have a better idea of what we're asking you to do. Take a look at Shmoop's summary of Hamlet (or familiarize yourself with the story by watching the intro video). Once you have a basic idea of the plot, take a look at what Sarah Schmelling did with it. Here's her text, and here it is again, converted to Facebook format. Fun, right?
Step 2: Now it's your turn. You're going to take the story your brought to class and convert it into a Facebook summary (or a Twitter feed if you prefer—you can get pretty creative with all those hashtags).
Begin by spending the next 10 to 15 minutes brainstorming the major plot points of the story you're working on. What parts of the story should be included in the Facebook summary?
Step 3: Next, choose at least five different characters from your text and create mock status updates or tweets in chronological order of the plot narrative. You should try to cover all of the major plot points you listed in Step 2.
Step 4: When everyone is done with their social media plot summaries, take some time to share your work and see what your classmates came up with. You can do this by printing and posting your social media summaries, sharing them via Google Drive, or giving mini-presentations. Your teacher will let you know what options are open to you.

Wednesday, April 3, 12:37 a.m. EDT. The last or third quarter moon rises around 2:40 a.m. and sets around 12:50 p.m. It is most easily seen just after sunrise in the southern sky.
Wednesday, April 10, 5:35 a.m. EDT. The moon is not visible on the date of new moon because it is too close to the sun, but can be seen low in the east as a narrow crescent a morning or two before, just before sunrise. It is visible low in the west an evening or two after new moon.
Thursday, April 18, 8:31 a.m. EDT. The first quarter moon rises around 12:30 p.m. and sets around 3 a.m. It dominates the evening sky.
Thursday, April 25, 3:57 p.m. EDT. The full moon of April is called the Seed Moon. Its Cree name is Kiskipizun, meaning "Gray Goose Moon." Other names are Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Growing Moon, Waking Moon, and Pink Moon. In Hindi it is known as Hanuman Jayanti. Its Sinhala (Buddhist) name is Bak. The full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. The rest of the month, the moon spends at least some time in the daytime sky.
Sunday, April 14, 2 p.m. EDT. Jupiter will be 2 degrees north of the moon, giving an excellent opportunity to view the giant planet is the daylight sky. Quite a few people have seen Venus with their unaided eyes in daylight, but very few have seen Jupiter. Locate it first with binoculars, then try to spot it with the naked eye.
Wednesday, April 24, 8 p.m. local time. Look closely at the rising moon tonight. Notice a tiny star just above it? That's Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo. As seen from Central America, the Caribbean, and southern Africa, the moon will actually pass in front of Spica.
Thursday, April 25. The moon will pass through the outer parts of the moon's shadow tonight for observers over much of the Eastern Hemisphere. Unfortunately this eclipse will not be visible anywhere in North America.
Wednesday, April 20, 7:02 a.m. EDT. Saturn is directly opposite the sun in the sky. It sits on the boundary between the constellations Virgo and Libra, just to the east of the bright star Spica. It is visible all night, rising in the east as the sun sets in the west, and setting in the west as the sun rises in the east.

Barry White
The upbeat title song could startle any lovers who have already curled up on the sofa, dimmed the lights and filled the ice bucket in anticipation of one of White's languorous "ooh, baby" soul-sex numbers. But they can settle down for the rest of the LP. Though lacking a really standout cut, it provides plenty of Barry's deep whispers and sweet melodies on tunes such as Girl, What's Your Name, Once Upon a Time (You Were a Friend of Mine) and Oh Me, Oh My. Two others—I Can't Leave You Alone and Call Me, Baby—perhaps carry the style a bit too far toward monotony, but by then the folks on the sofa won't care.

Hitchens works as a book reviewer for "The Atlantic", a political and culture commentator for both "Slate" and "Vanity Fair", a "talking head" on too many news shows to mention, a "semi-professional atheist" ('God is not Great'), an all around activist and speaker for the causes he deems important, and I'm sure a half dozen other roles I'm not aware of.
I defy anyone to agree with every single one of the comments below:
- Margaret Thatcher is kind of sexy
- Communism is good
- Pre-Glasnost Russia was bad
- Gore Vidal is full of it
- God does not exist
- Henry Kissigner is best viewed as a Mass Murderer
- George H.W. Bush knew that Iraq would attack Kuwait well beforehand
- The USA was justified in attacking both Iraq and Afghanistan post 9-11
- Bertie and Wooster are hilarious
- Mother Teresa was a sadist
- The USA is a great country
- British Boarding Schools are twisted
Well, we can probably all agree on the last one, but see what I mean? He does indeed "contain volumes", and his views have shifted over time - to the right in many cases, as he admits.
His memoir does not "explain" who Hitchens is, nor does he intend to. What he succeeds in doing admirably and engagingly is to give his perspectives on the people he's known, and the experiences he's had, not necessarily in chronological order.Read more ›
Described as a memoir, this book covers a lot of territory. Journalist/writer Hitchens details his childhood, family, life in English boarding school, college years at Oxford, dalliances with socialism, political and religious views(though an affirmed atheist), career as a war correspondent and author, and encounters with the famous and infamous. Along the way, he diverges into his parents indifferent marriage, his mother's suicide, and the discovery of his mother's jewish lineage years after her death.
While I thought the book in its entirety was interesting, some sections appealed to me more than others. Hitchens had an early encounter with Bill Clinton and was convinced that Clinton was possibly an operative reporting on american students anti-war activities to the CIA while at Oxford. He also claimed that he was probably present when Clinton didn't 'inhale' marijuana. Another section delved into researching his jewish heritage. And then there was his take on the Iraq War. The book was loaded with observations and insites that were interesting and at times deadly serious. Whether I agreed with him or not, he presented interesting points of view that reflected his varied life experiences.
Initially, my impression of Hitchen's writing style seemed to be more essayist than memoirist. However, it quickly became apparent that this was his story regardless of references to history, literature, and momentary divergences (such as the purpose and usage of the acronym WASP). While his text might at times seem elevated to the average reader, it took little time for me to get used to it. Often quite humorous, he managed to keep my attention.
His gift of the English language and the accompanying wit were established early on. Hitchen writes as he speaks, with passion and drama that may turn some people, especially those with a weak understanding of advanced English grammar, off. His life unfolds as the post-war wars of England in the 1950s and 1960s, giving this memoir a good example of a personal history of the times.
What struck me is the style of his writing. He writes from a deeply psychological perspective, as if everyone or everything around him is not quite in his senses. He maintains a certain distance, an aloofness, from all the events, but perhaps that is from the jobs he has held over the years as fighter for oppressed African states. Other parts, like chapter "Chris or Christopher" (pages 93-109) read like a political thriller in his often colorful and eyebrow-raising verbiage. He didn't like Bill Clinton ("the habitual and professional liar") even in his Oxford days and he certainly had no respect for American politicians during the Vietnam war.
It really should come as no surprise that he is an atheist, a left-leaner (International Socialist as he calls himself) after the life he's had; his stories alone carry the explanation. But I don't blame him.Read more ›

Adaptations of Stephen King's stories have a tendency to, well, suck (not to put too fine a point on it). Translating his material from the printed word to any other medium outside of an audio production is a hit-or-miss proposition with most results ending up firmly in the "miss" column. But we're all gluttons for punishment, because when they work, boy do they jangle the nerves. When they don't though? You get Stephen King's The Mist, developed by Angelsoft and published by Mindscape in 1985. And then you get on the 'net to look for a walkthrough because oh my digital bits does this text adventure suffer from more problems than a new version of Internet Explorer.
Since The Mist is a text adventure game, screenshots can't really add much to this installment. However, Frank Darabont brought a kick-ass version of the novella to the big screen in 2007 (and I will fight to the last testicle anyone who says otherwise). So because pictures of words tend to get lost among large paragraphs of text, the images in this article are pulled from the film. You will not see these in the game, no matter how hard you try (unless you use your imagination, kids!).
While it would seem like converting a novel into a work of interactive fiction is the most obvious choice in the world, you have to keep a few things in mind. IF requires more than just dropping characters and objects familiar to the reader into a plot that follows the original story in a linear fashion. Merely retelling the book as a text adventure adds nothing to the experience, especially if you've read the story and already know what's going on, how to solve all the puzzles, and where not to go. I commend Angelsoft for their decision to alter the events of the book in their adaptation, because otherwise what would be the point of playing? Infocom did much the same thing when adapting The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and that turned out to be (mostly) harmless.
But diverging from the well-trod path of the original brings with it a host of new issues, some of which wouldn't be problems if players weren't likely entering the game's world with some baggage based on prior interactive fiction experience. As an example, there's a dumpster outside of the store. Nobody in the novella ever goes rooting around in the trash outside, so it might not occur to a player to check it out. But even someone unfamiliar with the book will run into trouble if they suspect there might be something in there we need to finish the game. This being a text adventure, veterans know you need to look at, inspect, examine, open, and occasionally flat-out break everything not nailed down, because Implementers are sadistic bastards who hide everything good behind seven layers of puzzles. And this stupid dumpster is custom-made to bother the hell out of us. Using the common IF command 'look dumpster' acts like we just said 'look' without a direct object and describes the room we're in again. 'Examine dumpster' is mildly more helpful, informing us the dumpster is green and battered. We can try to 'open' it, but we'll be told it's already open. Closing it is no help. So, what do you do with an old, dented green dumpster? Why you 'examine dumpster carefully' of course.
So, hooray, you figured out the game's parser likes adverbs (an utter no-no when it comes to IF design for reasons that should be obvious) and now you can see there's a notebook in the dumpster. Great–let's read it! Well, trying to 'read notebook' results in you being told you don't have it. So you 'get notebook', then go to read it, only to be told that it needs to be opened before you can read it. Seriously?! 'Open notebook' followed by 'read notebook' offers some clues about what's up with all these giant versions of ordinary insects, but we've had to jump through far too many hoops by this point to even care. Now, you're not required to solve this "puzzle" to finish the game–it's just there to provide background and enhance the story. But this is far from the only puzzle like this, and the game insists on its brand of perfectionism in identifying items and picking the correct verb throughout.
Another cardinal sin The Mist commits far too many times is the instant, unforeseeable death. A misstep at the start will kill you on the first move (ProTip: Don't go north!). The monsters from the mist are nice enough to give you a couple moves to react before they carve you a new rectum, but in a decision that denies logic harder than a drugged-out Vulcan, the game counts improper commands as actual moves. This might be the only adventure game in history which penalizes you for spelling errors.
The final sin this game commits is that of randomization. Inventory management is critical to completing The Mist, and you can only hold four items at one time on your quest to find your son, so the game makes you juggle like that unemployed hipster dude in the local park. But The Mist has no qualms introducing flaming chainsaws into your act without warning. For instance: figure out how to get Ollie's gun and you'll wind up with a limited number of bullets. By the time you face an enemy that requires three bullets to kill, you'll have exactly three bullets left. Whether you score a hit on each shot is randomized. Miss and you better hope you saved your game before you started pulling the trigger, because you're about to meet a gruesome demise. I'm not sure what the word is for this situation, but I can guarantee that word is not 'fun'.
Stephen King's The Mist wants very much to be a creepy adventure in the same vein as Infocom's far-superior The Lurking Horror. And there's some great description to be found in here: the writing itself is faultless. The problem is all the hoops you have to jump through before you get the paragraph describing what happens next. With a walkthrough and a copy of DOSBox, you can expect some creepy reading which will entertain you for a few hours and offer some expansions (and contradictions) from what happens in the novella. Without a walkthrough though, you can look forward to an exercise in frustration and futility that would give a masochist pause.
Angelsoft ends the adventure in a manner similar to the novella: as you drive away from the mist-enshrouded town of Bridgeport, you whisper two words to your son. One of those words, the game reveals, is 'hope'. The other word isn't mentioned. Based solely on intuition, I reckon it should be "Bullshit".
Gotta say I love the ad though, and we hope you do too:

Report underlines Milwaukee area's jobs issue: Transportation
Lack of bus routes to work in suburbs remains a problem, study says
When Shawn J. Brown-Troop fell behind on car payments, he lost more than his car. He had to give up his job in New Berlin, reachable only by driving from his home in Milwaukee.
"If there was a bus going out there, I'd still be working, even if it was an hour trip," said Brown-Troop, 26, who operated overhead cranes at Trulite Glass.
Unemployed since August, he hunts for jobs nearly every day. But again, so many of the good entry-level positions are out of reach, in cities like Oak Creek or Menomonee Falls, he said.
Brown-Troop is one of thousands of Milwaukee residents who struggle to find work without a car as jobs grow outside the city's borders, beyond the reach of an anemic county transit system.
A report released recently by the Public Policy Forum identified 10 job hubs that would most benefit from transit connections with Milwaukee, mostly industrial parks in suburban cities like Germantown and New Berlin. But when researchers modeled new bus routes for reverse commuters, there were a host of problems: unsustainable costs, distances that are too far to walk from bus stops to workplaces, unreasonable commute times and more.
Studies show that since 1980, the region has gained more than 120,000 jobs, while the number of jobs in the city of Milwaukee has dropped 14%. That presents an acute problem when more than 13% of Milwaukee workers don't have access to a car, and those residents lost access to as many as 40,000 jobs in the 2000s because of funding cuts to transit services, according to a 2008 report by the UWM Center for Economic Development.
Jovo Potkonjak, a manager at the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, who helps unemployed workers find jobs, sometimes has thousands of eligible candidates for jobs. But if the work is not reachable by public transit, few apply.
Lou Ann Koval, vice president of human resources at HB Performance Systems Inc., a brake manufacturer for power sports in Mequon, said reliable transportation is a consistent concern for manufacturing companies. The company struggles to fill entry-level jobs, but Koval said she's missing out on good candidates in Milwaukee who don't have a car.
"We have a lot of need for people, and we'll train them," Koval said. "But transportation is a real impediment. We're a union shop, and attendance is critical. If you're a half-minute late, that's a problem."
Public Policy Forum Director Rob Henken said the models confirmed that solving the problem by simply extending bus services would be a challenge.
Kerry Thomas, interim executive director at the nonprofit Transit NOW, is optimistic that a solution is out there. Policy-makers and planners haven't worked much on the transportation piece of workforce planning, she said, and it's going to take creative problem-solving.
"We knew if it were easy it would be done by now," she said. "In the past, there hasn't been a workforce goal with transportation, and we need to rethink our approach to how we develop transit. This is something that could help spur the economy in a big way."
Some observers point to the need for a regional transportation system, which would mirror the flexible boundaries of today's economy.
"Metro Milwaukee is one integrated, functioning, regional economy, and our governance structure including transportation is about a century behind that," said Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce President Tim Sheehy, adding that county boundaries were drawn according to how far a horse could ride in a day from the county seat. "A bus service set up to serve a horse and buggy system isn't going to work in a global economy."
Others have long pointed out shortcomings in the way transit is funded in southeastern Wisconsin, depending heavily on state and federal dollars. Most metro areas like Milwaukee have dedicated sources like a local sales tax.
"It's why many areas have been able to expand transit service and we don't," said Ken Yunker, executive director at the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.
Transit isn't the only piece of the puzzle. It's also about where people live. Milwaukee is the most segregated metro area in the country, with the smallest percentage of African-Americans living in suburbs, said UWM economist Joel Rast, who wrote the report on jobs lost because of transit funding cuts.
"The unemployment rate is particularly high among African-Americans, and they desperately need jobs more so than any other group. They're also least likely to be located close to those jobs," he said.
SEWRPC has urged suburbs to develop more housing commensurate with job wages. For example, communities like Franklin or Oak Creek have plenty of jobs offering moderate wages, but houses are large and expensive, Yunker said.
Another solution is to bring more jobs to places like central Milwaukee, which already has the workers and the diverse housing options.
Several cities have experimented with using smaller buses with flexible routes, such as Los Angeles' DASH buses, said Michael Stoll, an urban planning professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. While new traditional bus routes can take years to plan and are difficult to bring back if eliminated, these small buses quickly add and drop stops as the economy fluctuates and job locations change.
"You need a system that's flexible and nimble enough but also informed by analysis of where these low-skilled jobs are located, so you can connect them in innovative ways," he said.
What may be needed most of all is leadership, UWM's Rast said, particularly from the business community, which he suggests hasn't taken ownership of the issue.
Rast pointed to Chicago Metropolis 2020, an organization started by the Commercial Club of Chicago to tackle work transportation problems. Their efforts resulted in the creation of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, which handles land use and transportation planning under one roof — formerly the purview of two separate agencies.
"Because of the pressure they applied, they dissolved those agencies. That's the clout that business has in a community," Rast said. "If business pushes for something, in many cases they can get it. We haven't had that in Milwaukee."

I almost always use freshly cooked and mashed pumpkin in this - I like to use a small pie pumpkin, which I cut into quarters, seed, and steam until tender, then remove the peel and mash. But I have used plain canned pumpkin as well - just don't accidentally use pumpkin pie filling - you need the plain puree. Prep time assumes you already have some pumpkin puree handy. The extra loaf freezes well. I have been making this for years, but originally found this in one of the "Best of the Best" series of US regional cookbooks.

Excellent flavor and texture. I added about 1/4 tsp cloves and baked in mini pans. I got 5 loaves and they took 45 minutes to bake. I will be making this again!
This bread has a very unique texture...kind of between cake and quick bread. It turned out very moist and tasty. I only had vanilla pudding, so that's what I used and it still was very good. Can't wait to try it with the flavors listed and maybe add some nuts. P.S. My bake time was about 65 minutes and I used canned pumpkin. Thanks for sharing!!
great and super moist! These loaves weight a ton! I would never believe somthing so dense would be so good. Fresh pumpkin only for best results. thanks

What's the worst odor you've ever encountered? Outside a laboratory, the stinkiest smell I've had the misfortune of inhaling came from a pig farm. Research taking place at Iowa State University, Ames, could well put an end to such unpleasant sensory experiences. But odors aren't the only agricultural emissions of concern. Dairies, it turns out, are a significant source of smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Studies at the University of California, Davis, are revealing the . . .

good fit, and features. Love the pulls to get the gloves off, love the terry on the thumb/forefinger back part of the glove. I measured my hand and the fit is great.
definitely recommended
Love these gloves! The fit is snug, but comfortable, and the padding is well placed and comfortable for 75-100 mile rides. The terry cloth goes up the first finger as well as the thumb, and is perfect for wiping noses or sweaty brows. I've been searching for the perfect glove for years, and this could be it. Unfortunately for me, my dog likes these gloves too, and ate one (he's fine now, it passed), so now I need another new pair!
Is the absorbant panel just on the back...
Is the absorbant panel just on the back of the thumb, or does it go up the back of the first finger too?
Yes, the absorbent panel also goes up the back of the index finger. On Gore's site they say the back of the glove is like this, but the pic's show otherwise. You can get a good close up view on Competitivecyclist.com., and a pretty good view on Goreapparel.com.
Hope this still helps.

"Security Is Service"
"Security Is Service" Really is ripping off 200+ people really service
There are so many people ripped off by these two guys that I can no longer take it I am the owner of BackUpcode4. Secure-Tek, Inc and Langner Security Services took our company and Members for a long ride.
H. William Bramble so call Security Consultant to rip you off a very good Con-Man in fact the best I ever came across he is a social-path and only cares about what happens to him. [continued below]....
As Owner of Backupcode4 Staffing I have a obligation to the members of this company to stop any one else to get Ripped off by a bad security company. They misuse people and the only thing they secure is there own pockets.
There is no such thing as straight pay or the carnival-act un less you are a company and agree on this. There are over 200 people that are not paid or under paid dating back to 2005 we have records of every thing from pass and present victims of Langner Security Services LSI and Secure-Tek Inc Long story short Mr. William BrambleSecurity Consultant will be in the Rippoff Report hall of fame.
The reason I am joining the fight is someone needs to lead to get what you have coming to you You did the work and you need the pay. Just to show you what you have coming to you is this. If you where the 30 day guys at choachella and stagecoach this is you may have coming to you.
So lets just do the math-
The average hours for employee during the week was 176 for the 3 weeks divide that by 3 = 59 hours now 40 hours base pay times $9.00 =$360.00 per week. times that by 3= $1808.00 Now this is where gets better-59-40=40 hours times that by time and half =time and half =$13.50 times 19 =$256.50 x 3= $769.50 + 1808.00= $2577.50 the average of $1110.00 -$2577.50=1467.50 Balance owed to 20 people so now times 30 times $1467.50 = $44,025 and I have a accountant specializing in payroll add this up. and we are working on all the weekend guys.
Now if you worked only on the weekend the min of 90 hours at the rate of $9.00 per hour this is what you need to get paid-
Base pay is 40 hours times $9.00 = $360.00 this leaves 40 hours time in a half times 13.50 = $540.
Now any over 40 hours of OT is double time so we have 10 hours times $18.00 = $180.00 so for the grand total of $1008.00
Room and Broad.
Don't even get me started on that there was no room and broad there was no food unless our company brought it or the other security officers and went with their EBT cards and fed their fellow workers. As all our workers starved William took a bunched of young Females employees to some hookahs bars in the area and hotels knowing full well he is married to a good women. There is a black women the stated they had sex in his mobile home so this was a vacation for a cheater.
Mean While as my Members of Backupcode-4 are starving our friend Jay is with a un-named women in the back of a limousine and town car living it up your money. The reason that this was a fact was because they hired one of my limos from my other company tazlimos and never paid me for that service.
On top of everything William has sucked all the life from our company like a vampire and I am done.
I tried to contact them to get them to do the right thing but they will not come to the table. They are counting on that we will go a way. This is not going to happen.
What Vampire don't like is this to brought into the light and this what I had to do.
I do need help we have over 100 people already to take action and we need you to join the fight.

If you take the Math Assessment Test and believe
that your score does not accurately reflect your skill level, you may retake the Assessment Test after a two-week
period. Note
that once you have enrolled/started the course sequence in a math course, you
may not retake the Assessment Test.

Other sources for
preparation material
the results of the computerized Math Assessment Test
If, after taking the Math Assessment a second time, you still have not achieved eligibility for the class you desire, you may request to challenge your result by taking a challenge exam. If taking a challenge exam, please note:
a challenge exam
The chart below identifies which challenge exam you might take depending upon your Math Assessment score and the class desired. Preparing for
a challenge exam should be a review
material you have already studied but possibly forgotten.
You should also be aware of the sequence
of prerequisites
for math courses. The most
common misconception
that eligibility for
Math 21, 26, 41, and 54 satisfies the Math 20 prerequisite for Math 2. In fact this is not the case, because eligibility for these courses reflects relatively basic algebra skills while Math 2 requires strong algebra skills demonstrated by scoring at least 70 on the College Algebra (Test Type 6) of the COMPASS assessment.
Here are the most
typical scenarios and guidelines to follow:
Score made you eligible for
You want
Challenge exam(s) needed
Math 31, 49
Math 20
You will take a test on Math 31 topics
(elementary algebra).
Math 18, 20, 32
Math 21, 26, 41, 54
You will take a test on Math 20 topics
(intermediate algebra).
Math 2
You will take tests on both Math 20 &
32 topics (intermediate algebra & geometry).
Math 21,26,41,54
Math 28
You will take a test on Math 32 topics
because algebra skills seem reasonably strong but we have no information on
geometry skills.
Math 7
You will take a test on Math 2 topics
including trigonometry and college algebra.
No challenge test is needed; you may be
waived into Math 28 by a counselor.
Other challenge exam situations
You may have successfully completed Math 20 (Intermediate Algebra) and wish to take Math 2 (Precalculus). In this case, you also need to demonstrate proficiency in geometry (Math 32 at SMC).
You may do this by taking the geometry challenge exam.
Specific information about the geometry
challenge exam is available on the Mathematics Department website under Math Placement.
How to schedule a challenge exam
Challenge Test Request forms are available outside the Mathematics Department office, MC 26.
Submit the
completed form to the Math
Department Chair, also in MC 26. The student must initially demonstrate how she/he has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the desired course. The department may then determine if the prerequisite challenge request is granted. If your request for the challenge exam is approved by the department chair, you will be scheduled for
the appropriate challenge exam(s).

So far I owe more than when I started, my interest rates have never gone down and they repeatedly pay the credit card company late and I keep getting hit with late fees of $25.00 to $29.00 per month.
I make my payments to them on time but they do not pay the credit card company on time. My account was to be reaged and I had to call Capital One myself to find out why they had not done so.
Capital One said they only lower interest rates to 15% which was no decrease for me at all.
They have lied and I want to stop this and talk to the credit card company to make payments. I want my first payment of $222.00 back + all of the late fees they racked up for me.

Moser Gender Planning Framework
The Moser Gender Planning Framework is a tool for gender analysis in development planning. It was developed by Caroline Moser. The goal is to free women from subordination and allow them to achieve equality, equity, and empowerment.[1]
Moser developed the Framework for a Gender and Development (GAD) approach to development planning in the 1980s while working at the Development Planning Unit (DPU) of the University of London. Working with Caren Levy, she expanded it into a methodology for gender policy and planning. Moser and Levy published A Theory and Method of Gender Planning – Meeting Women's Practical and Strategic Needs as a DPU working paper in 1986.[2] The framework is based on Moser's concepts of gender roles and gender needs, and her views on the ways policies should approach gender and development planning.[3]
The Moser framework follows the Gender and Development approach in emphasizing the importance of gender relations. As with the WID-based Harvard Analytical Framework, it includes collection of quantitative empirical facts. Going further, it investigates the reasons and processes that lead to conventions of access and control. The Moser Framework includes gender roles identification, gender needs assessment, disaggregating control of resources and decision making within the household, planning for balancing the triple role, distinguishing between different aims in interventions and involving women and gender-aware organizations in planning.[4] The framework acknowledges a political element to gender planning, and assumes that the process will have to deal with conflicts.[5]
The framework rests on three basic concepts: the triple role of women, practical and strategic gender needs and categories of WID/GAD policy approaches. The triple role consists of reproductive, productive and community-managing activities. Practical needs are ones that, if met, help women in current activities. Strategic needs are needs that, if met, transform the balance of power between men and women. Different categories of WID/GAD policy approach, which may or may not be appropriate, include welfare (top-down handouts), equity, anti-poverty, efficiency and empowerment.[2]
The framework provides six tools.
- Tool 1 identifies gender roles: what women, men, boys and girls do in various productive, reproductive and community-managing activities.
- Tool 2 identifies the practical and strategic needs of women.
- Tool 3 defines an access and control profile for resources and benefits of economic activity.
- Tool 4 examines the impact that a new policy, project or program will have on the three roles. A change addressing one area may affect others in a positive or negative sense.
- Tool 5 looks at how welfare, equity, anti-poverty, efficiency or empowerment approaches will address practical or strategic needs. The approaches are not mutually exclusive.
- Tool 6 looks at way women and gender-aware organisations and individuals can be involved in the process.[1]
Although widely used, the framework has been subject to some criticism. The concept of gender roles may tend to obscure the concept of gender relationships. It may give a sense of a stable balance, acceptance of each person's normal activities and rights, when in fact there is ongoing negotiation, conflict and compromise. The framework does not consider evolution of the socioeconomic structure over time. The framework only addresses gender inequality and does not consider other types of inequality such as caste, class or race.[3]
Naila Kabeer has argued that the triple role concept obscures the distinction between activity and outcome. For example, the outcome of child care could be achieved by the mother at home, by a communal creche or through paid private or state facilities. These are very different in terms of their effect on women.[2]

Once on the line with the customer service representative, I was told that because I was switching my phone number to a new phone, it would take 24 hours to have my phone activated because of some new security system that CRICKET had just implemented. I was told by the customer rep. that within the 24 hour time frame my line would be activated and to expect for the phone to be working by the following morning. After rescheduling an interview for the following morning, I waited. As the following morning approached, my phone was still not activated. I called Cricket immediately, spent another half an hour trying to get the automated machine to recognize my personal information so that I could speak with another customer service rep. After finally reaching one, I was told that my line would be activated within 15 to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, my line was still not activated.
I then called Cricket again spoke with another customer service rep. I explained that I was told that my phone would be activated in a half an hours time but to no avail. The customer rep. had no idea what I was talking about and so I demanded to speak with a supervisor. After putting me on hold for 25 minutes, I was put in contact with another customer service rep., not a supervisor. When I spoke with the customer service rep. I again explained my issue and was told that my phone would be activated within 15 -30 minutes. When I told him that I was told the same thing an hour earlier, he scoffed at my complaint and replied with, listen it will be activated! After forty minutes, my phone was still not activated. By 11:50, I had reached the 24 hour mark which was the longest amount of time that it should have taken to activate my line.
I called once again to Cricket and spoke with another customer rep. and then demanded to speak with their supervisor. When I spoke with that supervisor. I was told that because Cricket made an error on my account (had nothing to do with a new security system) that it could take up to 48 hours to activate my line. At that point, I blew my lid and demanded answers. I kept getting the same excuse that my ticket was in line to be processed so that my line could be activated and I responded with, what happened to the origional ticket and taking 24 hours to correct? The supervisor had no explanation. I explained that without a phone, it was costing me money because I am an independent contractor. Again, the supervisor did not care. To make matters worse, NOT ONE customer service rep. or supervisor was willing to give me their identification numbers. Explain that one!
I still have yet to have my account activated.
