I said mam I just want to send you one check now and another in three weeks. She just kept slamming me so I hung up. I faxed a note about my intention. The next day I got a letter that says 1310.00 is no longer acceptable, thus you have the three weeks to pay 1400.00. How can they raise this nearly 100.00 in 1 (ONE) Day ? What's next? I agree to that and they raise 100.00 a day ??????????? They gave me a settlement amount and then reneged on it.

I will try to make it short and to the point, but first flag was my quote of 2000K went up to 3100K upon the movers arriving to pick up my stuff. Let me add I was scheduled to have my belongings picked up from 1-3, they showed up at 7 that evening and stayed until 11. This was for a move of a 600 sq foot apartment, so as to put that into perspective for you.
Neighbors actually called the office for me, after I had moved out to my new place of residence to tell them that they saw
the movers drop several pieces of furnature. They also smoked inside of my building and were completely unprofessional. This is just the beginning.
I made it very clear the earliest date I could move in and provided them with that as I was moving out of the state, so had to stay in IL until I could actually move into my new apartment. Low and behold, they showed up a day early and I had to book a flight out last min which was extremely costly and unexpected.
Once I arrived, the two men, began unloading my belongings. The one man stayed in the truck the whole tiime while the other 20 year old who was strung out on something did the rest. At one point about 3 hours in (again not moving that much stuff) my two friends went outside as they seemed to dissapear. They were just out sitting in the truck doing nothing. I actually ended up helping them move because it was getting late, and I was exhausted and was not sure why they were just not doing their job.
My dresser was destroyed, so I decided to file a claim. Insert Tracie Terman of White Glove and wow here is where absolutely nothing was accomplished. Once they had the 3000 bucks from me, all correspondence went out the door. According to the documents I signed they owe me money for the damage. I waited the 90 days that they have to respond, and after emailing a dozen times to Tracie and getting no response I pulled in my Lawyer. They again did not even respond to that.
I now am taking the matter up with the DOT as it is not a matter of the money anymore, but the sheer lack of respect and pricipal of this entire matter. Please do NOT use this company, I wish I had read some of the reviews before selecting them. Be warmed in the beginning they will seem like the best moving company ever, and once they have your signature all customer service is out the window.
I hope this helps someone out there. Do your research and read people's reviews!
Good luck!

The NHL All-Star weekend is always a fun event and this year, a number of the league's brightest personalities entertained the fans in Music City. It may have been hard to top his red carpet outfit, but Brent Burns' son stole the show this weekend. In addition, the CHL/NHL Top Prospect Game took place and Victoriaville Tigres forward Pascal Laberge took center stage, possibly improving his draft stock in the process. Also, a pair of goaltenders show off their quickness, an enigmatic forward strikes again, plus goals by the Wolverines captain and one of the NLA's top scorers. Read more»

Kay Chopard Cohen Executive Director
Kay Chopard Cohen was selected by the Board of Directors of the National District Attorneys Association in March 2014 to become the Executive Director of the organization. Having started her legal career as a local prosecutor, she is keenly familiar with the duties, responsibilities, and obligations of prosecutors, the many challenges they face, and the leadership role that they play in many justice issues. Prior to her appointment to lead NDAA, Ms. Chopard Cohen spent the previous 15 years as a nationally recognized association executive running two national membership organizations with multi-million dollar budgets and providing executive leadership in close working relationships with senior Executive Branch officials and with leaders on Capitol Hill.
Immediately preceding her selection to lead NDAA, she served as the Executive Director for the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group where she was responsible for partnering with the U.S. Department of Commerce and leaders in industry to launch a national nonprofit association whose mission was to implement the White House initiative on "Trusted Identities in Cyberspace." Her leadership on this national priority included developing and implementing strategic plans, establishing goals, objectives, and association policies, and building infrastructure and internal governance. Ms. Chopard Cohen established funding mechanisms that combined federal grant dollars with private sector contributions developing a multi-million dollar budget and allowing the organization to become self-sustaining in less than a year of incorporation. Her leadership provided vision, inspiration, and energy in a meaningful public-private partnership approach to establish a new model of Internet commerce for the nation.
Ms. Chopard Cohen also has a long track record of consistently increasing the budgets at the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) where she served for more than a decade as the Deputy Executive Director. She created several new training and technical assistance programs that brought millions of dollars in grant funding to the NCJA membership. Prior to her work at NCJA, she was responsible for expanding the budget for state and local prosecution programs at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation from less than $100,000/year to more than $7 million/year. It was in this role where she developed first of-its-kind training curricula and delivered important trial advocacy training programs to thousands of state and local prosecutors across the United States.
Kay Chopard Cohen is a recognized leader on criminal justice issues among national criminal justice leaders and national justice organizations. She has dedicated her 30-year legal career to working on criminal justice topics at the local, state, tribal, and federal levels.
Ms. Chopard Cohen graduated cum laude from Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, and received her J.D. from the University Of Iowa College Of Law. She served as an Assistant County Attorney in Johnson County, Iowa, and served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Iowa Attorney General's Office.
William Fitzpatrick President
NDAA President 2015–2016
For over 37 years, the last 24 as Onondaga's chief law enforcement officer, District Attorney Fitzpatrick has served the people of Onondaga County. He has the respect of his peers not only in New York State, but across the country. DA Fitzpatrick is a nationally recognized expert on infant deaths, cold case reviews, forensic science and prosecutorial ethics. He currently serves as Chair of the New York State District Attorney's Association Committee on Fair and Ethical Administration of Justice, including the Best Practices Committee, a committee he created, which combines the talents of New York's top prosecutors to help set protocols for identification procedures, interrogation techniques and other strategies, all in an effort to get the best case before a jury and eliminate wrongful arrests and wrongful convictions. This strategy he started in New York is now being employed in over 30 states. He has twice been named New York Prosecutor of the Year; he is past President of the New York District Attorney's Association and as of July, 2015 is the President of the National District Attorney's Association. He is a long time member of the New York State Forensic Science Commission, and he frequently appears in the national media commenting on trial techniques and prosecutorial ethics.
Admitted to the bar in 1977, he progressed rapidly over the next decade to become a Chief ADA, the youngest person ever appointed to this position and eventually was responsible for overseeing all homicide prosecutions in the county. Over a three year period (1983-1986), Fitzpatrick took 20 defendants to trial for murder with a 100% conviction rate. He has lectured in over 30 states and Canada, and his cases have been the subject of five books, including the Edgar Allan Poe Award Winning The Death of Innocents, which chronicled the District Attorney's decade long quest to bring Waneta Hoyt, a woman who murdered her five children, to justice.
Fitzpatrick recently served as co-chairman of New York State's Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption having been so appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The fruits of those investigations have been turned over to U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara whose office is actively pursuing the work already started.
DA Fitzpatrick left his native Brooklyn many years ago to attend Syracuse University and Syracuse University School of Law and now lives in LaFayette with his wife of 34 years, New York State Court of Claims Justice Diane Fitzpatrick. They have three wonderful children; Dan, who is a graduate of Syracuse University, daughter Sara, a graduate of Binghamton University, and son Sean, who is a graduate of St. John Fisher College.

All must pay fair shareApril 03,2013
As the Vermont Legislature works down to the wire on its budget, I want to congratulate our Democratic and Progressive House members who, working together, have put a positive budget out that should make all Vermonters proud. Yes, there is a push and pull nationally on economic issues during this prolonged downturn. I am so proud of Gov. Shumlins efforts to work toward a single-payer health care system for all those who are not covered by either Medicare and VA benefits, which are in themselves single-payer plans.
However, it seems very questionable whether the money will be there to pay for the projected exchange rates, which seem at this point to be much higher than both Catamount and VHAP have been in the past few years. We do not need or want to have more people uninsured during this critical interim period prior to 2017 when we have been promised the opportunity to make a truly drastic change in how health care is delivered and paid for in Vermont.
Unlike John McClaughry and other conservatives who just cant wait for this whole change to fail, I am a strong supporter of universal, single-payer health care and, like most low- and moderate-income Vermonters, would like to see health care for all as a basic human right, regardless of income.
This is why it is imperative to get it right the first time. My hope is that the state Senate does not let us down and that Gov. Shumlin will back his Democratic cohorts in the lower chamber.
Yes, upper-income Vermonters need to pay their fair share as well as low-income Vermonters who are hit by some of the proposed raised sales and gas tax. However, I really dont know many folks who buy single items of clothing that cost over $100 unless they are very well heeled. We all must share the burden as we work toward a more perfect state union.
And as for a mass exodus of upper-income taxpayers, I doubt very much whether they will be forced to leave their megamansions and winter playgrounds for other greener pastures. The last time I looked, there are not too many of those left in our country or around the world.

Bootheel parks rise from the waters
By Tom Uhlenbrock
Missouri State Parks
EAST PRAIRIE, Mo. – The welcome sign is back up at Big Oak Tree State Park in the far southeast corner of Missouri.
The sign was toppled in early May when the Army Corps of Engineers blew holes in a levee and let the overflowing Mississippi rush into the New Madrid Floodway. Big Oak Tree, and the nearby Towosahgy State Historic Site, are within the 130,000-acre floodway.
Floodwaters reached 16 feet deep at the park's visitor center.
Big Oak Tree was closed temporarily, but has re-opened.

There are different types of treatment for children with craniopharyngioma.
Different types of treatments are available for children with craniopharyngioma. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with tumors. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
Because tumors in children are rare, taking part in a clinical trial should be considered. Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site. Choosing the most appropriate treatment is a decision that ideally involves the patient, family, and health care team.
Children with craniopharyngioma should have their treatment planned by a team of health care providers who are experts in treating brain tumors in children.
Treatment will be overseen by a pediatric oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating children with tumors. The pediatric oncologist works with other pediatric healthcare providers who are experts in treating children with brain tumors and who specialize in certain areas of medicine. These may include the following specialists:
- Pediatrician.
- Neurosurgeon.
- Radiation oncologist.
- Neurologist.
- Endocrinologist.
- Ophthalmologist.
- Rehabilitation specialist.
- Psychologist.
- Social worker.
- Nurse specialist.
Childhood brain tumors may cause signs or symptoms that begin before diagnosis and continue for months or years.
Signs or symptoms caused by the tumor may begin before diagnosis and continue for months or years. It is important to talk with your child's doctors about signs or symptoms caused by the tumor that may continue after treatment.
Some treatments for tumors cause side effects months or years after treatment has ended.
Side effects from tumor treatment that begin during or after treatment and continue for months or years are called late effects. Late effects of tumor treatment may include the following:

Isaac Sopoaga – He plays only on running downs. He doesn't rack up stats. He doesn't beat his man. He doesn't collapse the pocket or hit the quarterback. But he absolutely shuts down runs up the middle. Do not try to run through Sopoaga. He's 330 pounds and he's one of the strongest players in the NFL – you cannot move him. The Niners top-flight defense is built around stopping the run, and although they have two All-Pro inside linebackers, Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, those guys couldn't make all the tackles they do if they didn't have an anchor in the middle of the defensive line tying up blockers. For this team, Sopoaga is the perfect anchor. He allows the Niners defense to be as great as it is.
Maybe Im biased coming from the Islands, he played for Univeristy of Hawaii, drafted by my favorite team, but he, HANDSDOWN, is my favorite player.....I thought Id give him some love in the zone.

Kissing Kristen Stewart was easy: Taylor Lautner
"It wasn't nerve-wracking - people think it would be more awkward because Kristen and I are so close - I felt it was easier because we're such good friends," the Mirror quoted him as saying.
He also said: "It was exciting that Jacob finally had his chance to kiss Bella for the first time." He added: "He's had to sit back and watch her and Edward kiss for the whole first two movies. Finally he gets in there and has a little bit of action for a moment!"

Keep guns in home securely without loss of good taste
In some house, the owner conceals the gun safe under the ordinary steps of the stair.
A popular cabinet design will become an effective gun safe if it has camouflage drawers and interior is full of gun hangers. That cabinet also contain furnishings or clothes but two auxiliary doors-leafs at two body sides are actually gun safes.
Even one clock, one table, one armchair also hold a gun safe.

Andre Villas-Boas relegated club captain Dawson to fifth-choice centre-back at the start of the season, but the Tottenham manager has regained his trust in the England international recently, and Dawson looks every inch the regular fixture in the side that he had become over the seven years he has been at the club.
During his time at Spurs, Dawson has been to Wembley three times but has never been on the winning side.
He tasted defeat at the semi-final stage of the FA Cup in 2010 and 2012 against Portsmouth and Chelsea respectively, while he was also in the team that lost on penalties to Manchester United in the League Cup final four years ago.
The only time Spurs have been successful at Wembley of late was five years ago when they beat Chelsea in the League Cup final, but much to Dawson's dismay, he missed the game through injury.
But having been impressed by a pep talk by Villas-Boas at the start of the season, Dawson is convinced this could be the year he gets to lift a trophy with the north London club.
"We spoke to the gaffer at the start of the season and we said we want to win trophies, as players and as a team," the Tottenham skipper told Spurs TV Online.
"That's what you look back on at the end of your career. We have had two Wembley trips in the League Cup - one win and one loss. Wembley is a special place. To go up those steps and lift that cup would be special.
"And every player will say the same as me - the FA Cup is massive for us.
"We've had some good runs in it, we have been to Wembley twice, but had both unfortunate experiences against Portsmouth and Chelsea for different reasons. We want to go all the way and it would be a dream come true to do that."

Four tournaments each, for each console same names. Xamount of users are allowed to join tournaments and play games when the tournaments has started, to get as much as points by wining games. There is a leaderboard for each tournament that allows us to see who is 1-16, because only the top 16 people in a tournament will qualify for a 16 man bracket tournament, single elimination will battle it out until there is one winner of that specify tournament.
A winner of a specify tournament must wait until all the tournament are finish and there is a determine winner. There will then be four winners for each tournament playing in a semi finals tournament, where now there is 2 gammers left from each console PS3, and XBOX headed to Houston, Texas to the all star game to play head to head for $100,000. My conflict that i have with Virgin Gaming is that in the Posterize tournament, i played fair and square by versing my opponents to the fullest and completing my games.
I am number 5 with 173 points on the leaderboard currently, and i have not qualified for the 16 man bracket quarter final tournament. I sent Virgin Gaming proof and evidence that i have played all my games, and showed them there mistakes but nothing has been done. I keep sending them e-mails regarding this issue and they continue to leave me with blank responses not answering my questions. It has been a week the winner for the Posterize tournament has already been chosen, and it is quiet acknowledge by the online gaming community for NBA2K13 that i have made it but been robbed my spot.
Virgin Gaming representative constantly don't give there customer's, customer satisfaction they dont reply to our issues, and when we send them messages to why there are not they threaten to ban us for hrs. This is really unfair to everyone, and everyone dealing with this issue presently, and has had to deal with it in the future. Something must be done, what kind of online money gaming site does not have a contact number? I have been robbed my spot of this tournament witch i am very confident that i would have won, and i want it to be resolved in a professional way. I have alot of proof and evidence that i will provide the community with, regarding this issue.

When Verizon finished the install on Jan 17th, the guy said to call the company in a few days & get it rebundled with my Direct TV package. I tried a few weeks later to give them time to process everything, & they said my account says "Job Pending" so they couldnt rebundle anything.
Now I waited today, 2/7, 10 days before my bill should arrive, & they say it still says "Job Pending", they can't bundle my packages yet. With my package I would pay 19.99 for my Verizon internet, instead of 42.99 what it normally is without Direct TV.
I'm concerned I'm going to get charged the real price even though I have been trying to bundle this package 3 times now with Verizon. I asked the rep if I will get charged 2/17 even though I have never received a physical bill & she said no, not until it stops saying "Job Pending" will I be billed.
Well, a little surprise on Verizon, I was signed up with auto bill pay this whole time but my CC expired this month. I won't be charged either way to it because they don't have my new expiration date, I won't update it until I get this package bundled!
The only thing that will suck more is if they send me to collections for no pay, even though no one has any information on my account or can bundle it with the package I currently have.
Does it really take a month for a job to be not pending????
I dont want to be charged the normal price & then have to call & get a refund/credit, we know how well those work. I don't need a pro-rate to my account of the overcharges, I can't pay my other bills with that!
Verizon, you are leaving a sour taste in my mouth where there doesn't have to be one.....

Favorite TV Moments of 2013
HitFix looks back on 'Breaking Bad,' 'Game of Thrones,' 'Bob's Burgers' and more
Golden Globes (NBC)
We all hoped that the former "SNL" co-stars would make the Globes must-see TV and that was an understatement. They only appeared a few times afterward, but the duo's opening monologue may go down as one of the greatest award show openings of all-time. This approximately 8-minute comedy bit managed to creatively bust on the HFPA, rip on nominee Anne Hathaway's horrendous Oscar hosting stunt (while making us sympathetic for her as she tried to cover her own laughter), remind everyone "none of us have plans to do porn" and, in perhaps the best line of the night, well, as Poehler noted:
"I haven't really followed the controversy over 'Zero Dark Thirty,' but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron."
Set. Game. Match. And we can't wait until they return in 2014 to do it all over again.

Here are two words that are perfectly innocuous when standing alone, but always seem to raise hackles when put together: affordable and housing.
The term seems to evoke images of tenements and crack houses. And to be fair the history of affordable housing efforts on the Vineyard is not without hiccups. But the paucity of shelter that even middle-income people can buy or rent is indisputable and well documented. What makes the Island so attractive to summer visitors puts the price of real estate out of reach for many hardworking year-round residents.
"I've never had a pantry!" Geneva Corwin said as she toured her newly finished kitchen for the first time. "I have cupboards now, it's amazing."
The pantry itself was still empty, but "it won't be for long," husband Calvin Corwin said.
Jim Feiner is not your average affordable housing guy. He has no public funding, no board of directors and certainly no trust fund. But he has an idea.
Two young West Tisbury families were the happy winners in a lottery held this week for two new affordable homes.
Spencer Binney and Lizzy Kent, their baby daughter Willow and her brother Levi will move into a home at 619 Edgartown-West Tisbury Road next month. Jason and Darcy Neago and sons Tristan and Griffin will be their next-door neighbors.
West Tisbury selectmen voted to seek legal advice this week after a report from the town accountant found that money earmarked for second mortgages was inappropriately spent by the Island Affordable Housing Fund.
Bruce Stone, town accountant, presented the selectmen with a report that town-appropriated money for second mortgages was used for paying off prior loans for housing developments and other expenses. All of the money was accounted for, Mr. Stone said.
The Martha's Vineyard Commission has approved a plan to expand the Sepiessa Affordable Housing development in West Tisbury.
The application from the Dukes County Regional Housing Authority and the Island Housing Trust will add three affordable housing units with six bedrooms to the housing development on Clam Point Road. Right now, the housing complex consists of four units with six bedrooms.
The development is located on a three-acre parcel of land with a Title V septic system.
It's the story of one Island family's refusal to gouge
another year-round family struggling to find a home in an expensive real
estate market. It's the story of a real estate broker determined
to find the perfect buyer - a moderate-income Island family
desperate to buy their own home after a decade of shuffling from one
inadequate rental to another.
For once, it's an affordable housing story with a happy

Skip to comments.'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications
Posted on 01/07/2011 12:37:15 PM PST by Stourme
The words mother and father will be removed from U.S. passport applications and replaced with gender neutral terminology, the State Department says.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
What about parents 3 thru n?
This is insane.
Congress should undo this
On our local Grand Jury application it has the options of Female, Male, and Other.
Are they freaking kidding?
Why not add "Parent 3", "Parent 4", etc., while they're at it?
Hoe do I know who Parent 1 and Parent 2 are? Is Parent 1 the mother or the father? I don't want to insult them by choosing pecking order. Besides the Commandments say to honor them. This violates my civil rights. I am OUTRAGED!
Baby daddy is parent 2.
Just round em all up and beat them senseless, which won't take more than a dirty look considering how close to senseless they already are.
So now we can change our genders back and forth as often as we like! Cool! Maybe we don't even NEED to pick a gender any more!!!
(But I bet we still have to choose a race. Liberals are sooo funny that way.)
Are we going to have to change the holidays to "Parent 1 Day" and "Parent 2 Day"?
Sadly, yes, they are.
Just two???
What if me and my partner adopt a gayby and then he takes up with someone else and I take up with someone else and we all want to be parents? It's not fair (stamps foot).
Human 1, human 2, earth citizen 1, earth citizen 2, in the case of the power PC elites; god 1, god 2
So if Parent one is Jamie Smith and Parent two is Sam Smith...
Which one is the father and which is the mother?
Or Pat
Or Casey
Or Jessie
Or a thousand other gender neutral names....
THe word parent is just as biased as "mother" and "father".
It should be changed to "legal guardian 001" through "legal guardian 009"
Why not Parent Three? Four?
Why not just omit all parental units.
How would Michael Jackson have filled it out for his various Prince Jacksons?
He was not the sperm donor, and contracted out for the egg donors and surrogate moms.
IOW, he just bought some human babies on the open market.
Was he Parent 1? 2? 3? 4?
Ridiculous. Liberalism is anti-human nature.
What about Eric Cartman's case where his "Mom" was an Hermaphrodite, and really was his father.
What will they start calling electrical and plumbing fixtures?

Double ping. Destruction of the family, pushing disgustingly sick and evil sexual perversion, and turning everyone into a sheep who just baas and accepts increasing humiliation and tyranny without fighting back.
Destruction of the natural family is vital to their interests.
In Brave New World (I have to find a copy and read it again), the words "Mother" and "Father" are disgusting dirty words that are never uttered. Aldous Huxley was actually surprised a few decades after he wrote Brave New World (in the 30s) that so many of his fantasy had come true.
Just remember, when the time comes DON"T LOOK BACK or you get turned into a pillar of salt.
Plus and minus
How special!
My 14 year old was asked in his "health" class to write a report about "the history of AIDS in Australia," (different children were given different countries/continents) and then the class was told to NOT MENTION homosexuality, gays, sexual preference, etc in writing their histories.
Can you believe it? Talk about ignoring the elephant in the room. I don't even think the "gay community" would agree with this.
I was joking with him yesterday; I told him to write that a "certain unmentionable group of men started showing strange lesions in 1980 in Australia"
He also joined the Republican Club on campus yesterday. . .not unrelated. . .leftists try to whitewash history and even my 14 year old could see it. . .
I have breasts;that automatically makes me a female.What else could I call myself? What's there to be confused about?
No doubt its part of the stimulus program -- can you imagine how many forms, computer programs, blank passports, etc. need to be replaced or updated? And there are probably 10 bureaucrats whose sole job was to figure out what to replace father and mother with, and who are now busy examining every form in the entire office to see what else they should change. Pretty soon you'll have to fill in your Parent 1's pre-union identification name on some other form, since you won't be able to use your mother's maiden name.
Some day my birth certificate that says "mother" and "father" will be a collector's item.
WHOAH!!!!! Hold on now. I should stay right on this post.
How many Homosexuals are there? How much damage are we willing to do to accommodate how many?
We are living Through the Looking Glass. This is the most bizarre time in American history. When the US collapses, let us raise a new country that is sane.

I reckon you don't get to the beach in Florida much. Ain't nothin' automatic about it.
I haven't been to the beach in a while,but when I'm there I usually see men with "Man Boobs".Blech!
Why not just "egg donor" and "sperm donor"?
Since the State is now raising most of the kids anyway, wouldn't that be the most Communist-friendly way of putting it?
I don't understand this gender confusion business,although I'm sure that there are legitimate cases of it.At any rate,there should be no confusion on my part,nor any other woman's.If you can give birth,then you are a woman.There's nothing "gender neutral"about it.If you can urinate standing up,then you are a man.How can this be confusing?How can people be "gender neutral"?
(PS I think you have your mind in the gutter!)
I thought the new liberal term was "Breeder 1" and "Breeder 2."
That's sexist and heterophobic.
My brother who's stationed in Germany just told me the same thing is happening (has happened?) in the EU.
It sure looks like the Communists — using gays as pawns — have succeeded in destroying/diminishing the family unit. They started out by sneering at larger families and now we're reduced to this.
Can not one normal thing be left alone for one day? Apparently not, every day the Communists march on.
I'm pretty sure "egg" and "sperm donor" terms aren't gender neutral enough. Something like "Round and Inviting" and "Tiny White Wiggly", perhaps....

Torrential rainfall and abundant lightning have been the main hazards so far. The overall movement of this system was east- southeast, with some discrete cells moving northeast as they develop quickly ahead of this system. Rainfall amounts have been in the 1 to 2.5 inches range. Since the soils have been fairly dry, this rain will be soaked up nicely. As this complex dissipates as it continues on its trek through the forecast area, will see a brief break in the action late this morning before the cold front arrives in the western portion of the area by early afternoon. Expect the next round of thunderstorms to fire up along and ahead of the cold front in northeast Minnesota early in the afternoon. There is some potential for the storms to approach severe levels, but will be dampened a bit from this morning`s storm complex which will have effectively overturned the atmosphere. With the lack of instability and the potential for lingering cloud cover, that severe risk is low. However, some heavy rain is possible once again as pwats are above 1.50 inches. The cold front should reach the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin by 00Z/7pm. The storms will move out of northeast Minnesota shortly thereafter. The storms will continue through the night in northwest Wisconsin. The amount of instability and the pwats drop as the front reaches the edge of the Wisconsin zones by 12Z/7am Tuesday. As the front departs early Tuesday morning, have lingered some low pops to account for any leftovers until 15Z/10am. Behind the front, high pressure will be building across the forecast area with a cooler and drier airmass. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 239 AM CDT Mon Aug 29 2016 A quiet stretch of weather through the work week as a mid-level ridge slowly builds across the Plains and Canadian Prairie...building in towards the Great Lakes over the weekend. Behind the ridge a longwave trough deepens across the west coast, leading to southwest to southerly flow at mid to low levels for the weekend. At this point it looks like the best moisture and instability would be located to the west, only advecting into the Northland just ahead of a cold front late in the weekend into early next week, but still think showers and storms are possible ahead of the front through the weekend. Sunny skies through the work week until showers and storms are possible Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures coolest Tuesday night with lows in the 40s across parts of northeast Minnesota, then generally seasonable through the rest of the week into the weekend with highs in the low 70s and lows in the 50s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1233 AM CDT Mon Aug 29 2016 Early this morning scattered showers and storms will impact INL and HIB...possibly reaching BRD and DLH towards morning. These storms will produce mainly MVFR ceilings and visibilities when they worst of storms move through. To the south an area of IFR stratus is expanding from Lake Superior inland impacting DLH and towards morning, HYR. Another round of storms is possible this afternoon mainly impacting DLH, BRD, and HYR, but as a cold front moves from west to west tomorrow evening skies will clear out. Some brief periods of MVFR ceilings/visibilities are possible tomorrow afternoon in the most intense storms but generally VFR conditions will prevail most of the time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Since upgrading from WP 3.3 to 3.3.1 and from W3 Total Cache 9.2.3 to 9.2.4, the caches are not getting rebuilt when a comment is posted. It's odd because the side bar "recent comments" widget gets updated, but when someone who is not logged in clicks on the comment link in the widget, the comment doesn't exist for them in the post because the post cache hasn't been updated. (Does that make any sense?) I changed no settings during the upgrade and had disabled W3TC before doing the WP upgrade.
Any suggestions?

Parking on private property without owner permission. I wrote LA PVB with a letter from the owner and my request was denied. I paid the ticket because I did not have time to fight it.
Parking in a Yellow Zone after 6pm: I printed out the City's own laws and sent them. The claim was denied and they charged me.
Having expired tags: I HAD CURRENT TAGS. The claim was denied.
Most recently: parking at a broken meter. Not only did I appeal it, but the city lied and said they sent an inspector out there. I requested maintenance records and they responded by saying it was 21 days past and that I needed to pay it, plus a penalty. [continued below]....
At this point I am refusing to pay on principle and trying to seek some sort of free legal support or other citizens who I know are getting fed up with being abused by the City. They are taking advantage of us. They are making and enforcing their own laws and no one is paying attention. I am a full-time graduate student getting a doctorate in clinical psychology. I do not have time for this and the city is counting on insignificant amounts of money, and people not caring enough to take a stand. Something must be done. This feels like the tea taxes inflicted on the American Colonies by the British. No one is taking a stand.
There is no way to put my contact information in this. The website will not allow it. I don't know what recourse to take at this point except just make a lot of noise and hope others will hear it and pay attention.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new finger biometric method. Infrared finger images are first captured, and then feature extraction is performed using a modified Gaussian high-pass filter through binarization, local binary pattern (LBP), and local derivative pattern (LDP) methods. Infrared finger images include the multimodal features of finger veins and finger geometries. Instead of extracting each feature using different methods, the modified Gaussian high-pass filter is fully convolved. Therefore, the extracted binary patterns of finger images include the multimodal features of veins and finger geometries. Experimental results show that the proposed method has an error rate of 0.13%.
Keywords: finger recognition; finger vein; finger geometry; modified Gaussian high-pass filter; binarization; local binary pattern; local derivative pattern

Classical population genetic models show that disruptive selection in a spatially variable environment can maintain genetic variation. We present quantitative genetic models for the effects of disruptive selection between environments on the genetic covariance structure of a polygenic trait. Our models suggest that disruptive selection usually does not alter the equilibrium genetic variance, although transient changes are predicted. We view a quantitative character as a set of character states, each expressed in one environment. The genetic correlation between character states expressed in different environments strongly affects the evolution of the genetic variability. (1) If the genetic correlation between character states is not ± 1, then the mean phenotype expressed in each environment will eventually attain the optimum value for that environment; this is the evolution of phenotypic plasticity (Via & Lande, 1985). At the joint phenotypic optimum, there is no disruptive selection between environments and thus no increase in the equilibrium genetic variability over that maintained by a balance between mutation and stabilizing selection within each environment. (2) If, however, the genetic correlation between character states is ± 1, the mean phenotype will not evolve to the joint phenotypic optimum and a persistent force of disruptive selection between environments will increase the equilibrium genetic variance. (3) Numerical analyses of the dynamic equations indicate that the mean phenotype can usually be perturbed several phenotypic standard deviations from the optimum without producing transient changes of more than a few per cent in the genetic variances or correlations. It may thus be reasonable to assume a roughly constant covariance structure during phenotypic evolution unless genetic correlations among character states are extremely high or populations are frequently perturbed. (4) Transient changes in the genetic correlations between character states resulting from disruptive selection act to constrain the evolution of the mean phenotype rather than to facilitate it.
