This is the card I use when I travel and with a trip in less than 3 weeks I am now scrambling to figure out what to do. My Balance on the card after my payment is less than $500 and this is due to my purchasing my ticket for my upcoming trip.
This is just unreal how these people just make changes on a whim and we have no recourse. As soon as I can I intend to cancel my card of 9 years and move on with complaints to congress and the regulating agency.

A prominent Jackson County couple was found slain in their Graceville mansion twenty-years-ago this week.
On January 29th 1989, Robert and Kathryn McRae were found dead inside their Graceville mansion. Each had been shot in the head with a small caliber weapon.
Authorities looked at similar murders in surrounding states.
Thousands of dollars in cash and valuables was not touched in the home. The only thing missing was an unusual diamond ring Mrs. McRae always wore.
Rewards of more than $100,000 are being offered for the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the McRae murders.

Wealth Matters, The American Worker, and the Power of Music with Morley
GRITtv is away this week and we're airing some of the best shows of the last three months. We'll be back August 4, with all new episodes.
When it comes to the gap between the rich and poor, we've all heard the numbers. The richest one percent of US households own 34.3% of the nation's wealth. In 2006, according to Forbes, the top 20 private equity & hedge fund managers took in $657.5 million, 22,255 times the pay of the average US worker. CEOs earn roughly 364 times the average full and part-time worker. But who's counting anyway?
Tonight on GRITtv we examine why wealth matters with Chuck Collins, Director of the Program on Inequality & the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, Dorian Warren a professor at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, and Maureen Lane, Co-Director of the Welfare Rights Initiativeand a fellow of the Drum Major Institute. And an unexpected guest: Phil T. Rich, a member of Billionaires for Bush and the newly minted organization, Lobbyists for McCain. He tells us why trickle down economics works…as long as you're patient. A hostile takeover of GRITtv's studio? Find out here.
Also in this hour, an interview with Steven Greenhouse of The New York Times, one of the few reporters who still covers workplace issues for the mainstream press. His new book, The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker is a recent Progressive Book Club selection, described as a manifesto for change. In this interview Greenhouse discusses why American-style capitalism is out of control and what can be done to create a fair and equitable system for workers.
Finally, an interview with singer/songerwriter Morley. She has been dubbed the Nina Simone of her age. She writes songs of protest but also possibility. Today on GRITtv she discusses her new album SEEN, what it means to be a subject in your own life, and how protest music can be a force for change.
Also in this episode of GRITtv: A tax loophole for yacht owners in California? Find out why the Courage Campaign thinks it's a bad idea. And the War on Greed, starring Larry the Loophole.

1st used catalitic converters are required by law to be handled as dangerous goods. Do you have the certification to transport and store it? Thought not.
2nd These have a "Core" value in most places, the price you paid included the shop recovering this value.

You just recently took a photo of Thomas Cotton's headstone #142626681. What ever device you are using IPad or phone, you took the picture in the wrong position and on the F.A.G. website, the picture is sitting sideways and not in the upright position. Is there someway you could correct this?

Mary Marg Clifton Bowen (1628 - 1697)*
Hi Sue... I'm having troubles with the children of Mary Lanbotham (1604-1687). I noticed you listed Mary as her daughter. Mary's father, Thomas Clifton, who she married in 1640, must have been previously married and therefore Mary's mother should be Unknown and not Mary Lanbotham.
"The New England Historical and Genealogical Register"
Volume 168 - January 2014 - Pages 60 & 61
(Note: Many good sources shown)
"Henry Butterworth of Halifax, Yorkshire, and Weymouth, Massachusetts
by Clifford L. Stott
"2 HENRY1 BUTTERWORTH was baptized in Halifax 28 February 1601/2. He died in Weymouth, Massachusetts, probably in or near 1636. Henry married in Halifax 2 February 1626/7, MARY LONGBOTHAM, who was born about 1600, as calculated by age on her death record. They resided in Sowerby and had children baptized in the Halifax parish church and the Halifax chapelry of Heptonstall. The family apparently emigrated to New England between 1634 and 1636. Mary married second in Massachusetts, shortly after 28 January 1640/1, Thomas Clifton. They settled in Rehoboth and Newport, Rhode, Island. Mary died in Newport 26 January 1686, aged 87 years. Thomas Clifton drowned in Newport on 9 July 1681. [16]
Children of Henry1 and Mary (Longbotham) Butterworth:
i. John Butterworth, bp. Halifax 16 Sept. 1627; [17] ...
ii. Abraham Butterworth (twin), bp. Heptonstall, Yorks. 9 Aug. 1629; [20] ...
iii. MARY BUTTERWORTH (twin), bp. Heptonstall, Yorks, 9 Aug. 1629; [21] d. Rehoboth, Mass. 20 Aug. 1714. [22] The will of Mary Mason of Rehoboth was executed on 28 January 1712/3 and proved on 6 December 1714. [23] She married about 1650 Sampson Mason, [24] whose will refers to John Butterworth as his brother.
iv. Samuel Butterworth, bp. Halifax 6 Jan. 1631/2; no further record.
v. Henry Butterworth, bp. Halifax 26 May 1634; no further record.

Yerba Buena Cemetery
Looks like all the buried at Yerba Buena were eventually moved to the Golden Gate Cemetery and then were moved again to various cemeteries in Colma, Ca.
An estimate suggests that several thousand burials were never were removed and are still buried on the site of The Palace of the Legion of Honor and adjacent golf course.Finding your requested photo at this time is not possible and may take a vast amount of searching on your part.
I wish you luck, and thank you for your request,

Today, I slipped as I was about to take a shower, knocking myself out cold. I woke up to someone banging on my door. It was a cop checking to see if I was okay. When I asked how he knew to come, he said he was notified by "a male neighbor who called anonymously." I guess I have a peeping Tom. FML

On Tap Today: Birds, Brewers and State Fair
Hello and welcome to the middle of your week, though we hope there's nothing average about your day.
First, you could start your day with an early morning bird walk. By lunch, it may be a fine time for a farmer's market right downtown or a show of artwork by a collective from Argentina. Later, it should be a good evening for a little baseball and the boys from San Francisco beneath Miller Park's roof, too. »Read Full Blog Post

Are you finding it difficult to manage your personal finances? If so, you can receive free of charge financial counselling with our Budget and Debt Counsellor. You could also be entitled to welfare benefits from the social welfare office. On this page you will also find information about how to make the estate inventory of a deceased family member.
If you wish to discuss your financial situation, please contact the office for first entrances. The office for first entrances is open weekdays between 10.00 am and 11.00 am. A social secretary will make an initial judgement of your possibilities of getting welfare benefits.
If you need welfare benefits due to unemployment, you must be registered with the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) and actively seek employment. You must also show that you are at the disposal of the labour market by taking jobs or labour market measures you are offered, for example training programmes or work experience.
If you are unable to seek employment due to medical reasons, you need a medical certificate to be able to get welfare benefits. You can receive full- or part-time compensation. If you receive part-time compensation, you must be registered with the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) and actively seek employment for the remaining hours adding up to full-time.
We base all of our decisions of welfare benefits on individual assessments, and we can only make such an assessment after you have been in contact with a social welfare secretary at the social welfare office.
You can still get a hint of where you stand compared to the Swedish national standard for welfare benefits using our calculator. Please remember that there are always many different variables that affect the final decision.
Lidingö City Council does not produce any consumer guides, but on this page you will find web links and telephone numbers to the organisations that can help you. The information is in Swedish.
When someone dies, a relative needs to make an estate inventory within three months. Most undertakers and some banks can help you make the estate inventory. In some cases you can make an informal estate inventory deed instead of an estate inventory.
If the assets of the estate only cover the funeral costs and there is no realty in the estate, you can make an informal estate inventory deed instead of an estate inventory. Please contact the social welfare board of the council where the deceased lived in order to register an informal estate inventory deed.
If the deceased owned realty, such as real estate or a site-leasehold right, you always need to make an estate inventory. You also need to make an estate inventory if one of the part-owners of the estate requests it. Please send the estate inventory to the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).
If the assets of the estate do not cover debts and funeral costs, do not pay off the debts before the informal estate inventory deed or estate inventory is finished.
Stop direct debit payments. Some creditors have priority over others, and you can become obliged to refund the estate if you make payments. You can call the creditors when a bill arrives and ask for three months´ postponement, as from the death.
When the informal estate inventory deed is complete, send a copy to the creditors and apply for the debts to be written off. You must order the copy of the deed from the Swedish Tax Agency.
If the assets of the estate do not cover the funeral costs and no relatives are willing to pay, the representative of the estate should contact social welfare services for information about financial aid. Social welfare services can help pay funeral costs with at most 16,960 SEK (2010).
Do you want more information or help making an informal estate inventory deed? Please contact social welfare services.

My Biology teacher made me cry.
Over a year ago
Today in Biology, my teacher decided to feed her two snakes. I don't see this as a problem. But then she told everyone how she feed them.
She puts the rats in a garbage bag and then slams them against a hard surface to stun them, then she puts them in the feeding cage while the rats were dazed and the snake attacked them, ect.
Well when she started the feeding process, I broke into tears even though I have a phobia of rats.
After the whole thing was over with, I was still crying, my teacher pretty much yelled at me in front of everyone. She told me that the circle of life caused it, ect.
Everyone called me a drama queen and I got made fun of all day. I don't really care about that, but I still don't think the whole feeding process is fair to the rats.
Please log in to reply.

ugh. this is one of the reasons I'm so glad I was on home instruction for the year I was taking biology. I would have flipped out if that had happened to me. I definitely agree with all of the others' comments though. You should tell your guidance counselor or your principal, because she shouldn't be allowed to do that without first making sure that it won't effect anyone in the class, and she especially shouldn't be making fun of you for your views.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

What she did is awul. Even though it's the so called "circle of life" she shouln't slam those poor rats. There are more humane ways to feed them. I'm sorry you had to go through that *hug*You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

First of all, why the fuck was she calling you out and making you feel bad? That's completley insensitive, not to mention a form of bullying. . .so you could get your teacher in some serious trouble. Talk to her. Tell her how it made you feel and maybe see if next time she decides to feed her snakes in class, see if you can wait in the hallway. There are better ways to do things, and slamming those rats into something like that was cruel, insensitive, and sure as hell wasn't one of the better things to do. And @whiskey I would like to point out that, yes snakes do eat rodents in nature. . .but in nature no one's slamming them against a hard surface and making you watch. Stay strong honey. You've got your heart in the right place, and fuck anyone who tells you different!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Today we'll be comparing the HD 5970 against all the setups that matter. This means we've got the HD 5970 against the dual GPU bad boy from NVIDIA, the GTX 295 while also comparing the model to the HD 5870 in both singular and Crossfire configurations.
Let's get started!
3DMark Vantage
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.1

3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware.
3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.
In our first test we see what we would expect when it comes to comparing the HD 5970 to the HD 5870 in CF. The lower clocked HD 5970 comes in behind the higher clocked HD 5870 CF setup. Compared to the GTX 295, we can see in the less stressful P preset the NVIDIA offerings pull out a win. When we start cranking up the intensity, we can see that the HD 5970 comes out way ahead.

Pro-gay marriage rally hits Paris streets
- From: AAP
- January 28, 2013
THOUSANDS of supporters of a French government-sponsored bill that would legalise marriage and adoption for same-sex couples are marching in Paris.
Demonstrators waved banners emblazoned with phrases such as "Equality of rights is not a threat" as they began marching from Denfert-Rochereau square in the southern part of the city.
Two weeks ago, a demonstration by those opposed to the proposal drew hundreds of thousands onto Paris's streets.
About 63 per cent of French favour legalising gay marriage, according to a survey released on Saturday, up from 60 per cent in December.
The French parliament is due to begin debate on the bill on Tuesday.
If MPs approve the plan, France would become the 12th country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage.

The Top 5 Crazy Things Built in Minecraft
158k views 5 items tags
Minecraft allows you to create anything you can imagine that can be shaped with square blocks. From the basic interactions between wood, stone, glass, water and other materials, you have all the tools you need to craft complex and dynamic objects and environments. And it's not just giant phalluses and statues of 8-bit Mario either. Some people have went to enormous lengths to create wonderful worlds filled with ridiculously ambitious creations. In many cases, the effort and vision of these creations are matched only by the utterly pointlessness of their existence. Despite this, the satisfaction achieved from building then marvelling at these constructions is matched only by the feeling you get from marvelling without having to build them. To all you lazy Minecraft players, here's the top 5 Minecraft creations for you to enjoy without having to chop eight thousand virtual trees and then develop RSA in your mouse hand.

So I opened the letter to find a cashiers check for $1527.00 with a breakdown of how I was supposed to use the check. It told me to use $150 at walmart as a mystery shopper and that I would get to keep the merchandise that I bought, and to to a western union transaction in the amount of $987.00 then $90 to cover the free and I could keep $300 for my services as a mystery shopper.
I cashed the check and did as I was instructed to. A couple of days later my account was withdrawn for the full amount of the check as it bounced. When I tried to call the number back it was out of service and I am left with the fees and negative amount in my checking account.

text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 241128 AFDSGF Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Springfield MO 628 AM CDT WED AUG 24 2016 ...12z Aviation Forecast Update... .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 217 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 A return to hot and humid conditions is on the slate for today as weak upper level height rises overspread the region. High temperatures will range from the upper 80s to lower 90s, with the warmest readings along and west of the U.S. 65 corridor. With muggy conditions also persisting, afternoon heat indices will range from 95-100 degrees. South to southwest winds will be on the breezy-side today which may offer at least a little relief from the heat and humidity. There will be a few lower-end opportunities for precipitation today, however most areas will remain dry. The first opportunity for precipitation will come this morning as weak isentropic upglide overspreads the area. The last few runs of the RAP indicate uncapped parcels in the 825-700 mb layer as the upglide overspread the area. What this may result in is some high-based isolated convection overspreading the U.S. 60 region early this morning with this area then shifting northeast with time. The second shot at precipitation may then come late this afternoon over portions of extreme southeastern Kansas and west-central Missouri. Convection will fire along the I-35 and I-70 corridors in eastern Kansas as short wave energy moves northeast across the region. The convection should be most focused near the I-70 corridor in the vicinity of a surface front. It is possible that some of this activity grazes portions of our far northwest. Otherwise, the chances for surface-based convection look very low across the remainder of the Ozarks as we should remain fairly capped off. Convection should then increase tonight from around Wichita to the Kansas City metro and on into northern Missouri/southern Iowa. Wind fields will support this convection moving more in a east- northeasterly fashion once cold pools conglomerate. This again will keep the bulk of the convection north of the area. We do have PoPs in the 20-40% range up towards Truman Lake in case some of these storms develop/track a bit farther south than anticipated. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 217 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 The question then becomes where that front will track late this work week. While there may be a few weak short wave troughs that track northeast across the central Plains, there is not much synoptic scale support for that frontal boundary moving southeast. Convectively-induced outflow may turn out to be the bigger driver regarding overall frontal position late this week. With that being said, the best chances for thunderstorms will likely extend from southeastern Kansas into central Missouri for Thursday into Friday as there will be better focus with that frontal boundary somewhere in the area. We could see some afternoon pop-up storms across the remainder of the Ozarks. This is especially true with models (especially the NAM) indicating an increase in mid and upper level moisture from the south starting Thursday afternoon. Temperatures on Thursday and Friday should be a few degrees cooler versus what we will see for highs today. Saturday and Sunday then continue to look somewhat interesting despite the front lifting back north of the area. The GFS shows a lobe of 500 mb vorticity extending northeast across the Ozarks while the ECMWF shows more in the way of a Gulf-origin mid-level short wave trough moving north out of the the Arklatex region during the afternoon. Regardless, both models indicate potential areas of mid/upper level focus along with a continued increase in mid/upper level moisture. This is a good recipe for scattered to perhaps numerous pop-up storms. A less-defined southwesterly flow aloft is then projected to set up over the Ozarks early next week. We have therefore maintained 20-40% PoPs as these regimes tend to be fairly supportive of pop- up pulse-type storms. High temperatures from this weekend into early next week will be near or slightly below normal. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 625 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 VFR will prevail through the next 24 hours across the Missouri Ozarks region. Gusty south-southwest winds up to 20 knots will be around the TAF sites later this morning through the afternoon. Skies will be generally mostly clear to partly cloudy. && .SGF Watches/Warnings/Advisories... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Schaumann LONG TERM...Schaumann AVIATION...Griffin

Despite pay freezes and a general squeezing of the government workforce, the decline of governmentwide employee satisfaction revealed a new survey is mild.
The Partnership for Public Service's newly released 2011 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government shows a 1.5 percent decline in satisfaction and commitment -- from 65 to 64 out of 100, compared to 2010.
"The surprise was that it wasn't a bigger decline given everything that's going on with the brink of a possible shutdown, a federal pay freeze, an increase in antigovernment rhetoric before the next election and the discussion to take another whack at federal benefits," said John Palguta, vice president of policy at the partnership.

Rising stars: Young feds bring innovation to agencies
Several agencies also managed to buck the trend and rose significantly in employee satisfaction. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ranked highest on this year's list, moving up two slots from 2010. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission came in as the second-highest ranking agency in employee satisfaction after holding the top spot for three consecutive years. The Government Accountability Office, which ranked second in 2010, placed third this year.
Palguta said he was especially pleased with seeing the inclusion of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on the agency subcomponent level. Part of conventional wisdom, he said, is that organizations that don't have "sexy, high-grade jobs and technology like NASA" tend not to do as well with employee satisfaction.
Agencies that previously scored low on the employee satisfaction ratings have made efforts to respond to employee feedback and criticism, by substantive interventions and management initiatives, Palguta said. Employee satisfaction ratings are often tied to how engaged employees are with their agency: The more committed and satisfied employees are in their jobs, the more productive they are, he added.
"If you don't like your job, you don't like your boss, you think the organization is unfair, you may show up for the paycheck but you're not giving your best effort," Palguta said.
The agencies that saw employee satisfaction ratings drop the most this year were National Archives and Records Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Homeland Security.
But an agency's low rankings do not always give the bigger-picture view of what goes in within an organization. NARA, for example, has been working to fix the problems that contributed to the low rankings but has going through a culture change after 90 percent of its senior executives left in the past year, Palguta said.

I have enjoyed working for DoD, but I am not surprised that it didn't make a Top 10 list. Afterall, where is the first place everyone wants to cut when times are tough.
The counterintuitive nature of this folk psychology aside one must ask how sentient life survives in an intellectual vacuum.
The survey didn't ask about pay satisfaction as I recall, it was more along the lines of do you like the work you are doing, do you have the opportunity to attend training, does your supervisor care about whether you can get your job done, and so on. It didn't say "are you happy about a pay freeze". Yes, most feds like the work they do, or they look around for another job, or ask for other work to do in their current positions, and there is enough work to go around to accomodate most of those requests. No, none of us are happy about not getting a pay raise, at least enough to handle inflation (and I mean inflation in food, gas, medical expenses, the cost of a car, etc, not the cost of a new house...who buys a new house every year?? It's stupid to include things like that when measuring inflation). Then again yes, we are all happy to not be unemployed, furloughed, or forced to work part time. But if they had asked, "do you feel underpayed because there was no pay raise last year, won't be next year, and probably we will have furloughs" everyone would have answered "you betcha".

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer announced Thursday he had reached a $14.5 million settlement with Hewlett-Packard over allegations that the company used false pretenses, or pretexting, to obtain personal phone records of board members and journalists in an attempt to identify and stop leaks to the press.
Lockyer filed a civil complaint that mirrors charges in a felony criminal complaint filed in October and also filed a settlement of the civil complaint, which the Santa Clara County Superior Court approved Thursday. There was no finding of liability against HP by Lockyer or the court.
The civil complaint alleges HP used "false and fraudulent pretenses" to obtain confidential information, including people's detailed billing records, from phone companies. The victims included HP employees, board members and their family members, and reporters and their family members. It alleges HP of willfully and knowingly accessed, and without permission used, computerized telephone account data belonging to the victims. It also charges that HP violated California's identity theft statute by obtaining personal identifying information about the victims, then using that information for an unlawful purpose.
Most of the money from the settlement will establish a new fund to fight violations of privacy and intellectual property rights, while HP adopts corporate governance reforms, Lockyer's office announced Thursday afternoon.
"The Hewlett-Packard incident has helped shine a national spotlight on a major privacy protection problem," Lockyer said through a prepared statement. "With its governance reforms, this settlement should help guide companies across the country as they seek to protect confidential business information without violating corporate ethics or privacy rights. And the new fund will help ensure that when businesses cross the legal line they will be held accountable. Fortunately, Hewlett-Packard is not Enron. I commend the firm for cooperating instead of stonewalling, for taking instead of shirking responsibility, and for working with my office to expeditiously craft a creative resolution."
HP will pay $13.5 million to create a new "Privacy and Piracy Fund." HP will pay $650,000 in civil penalties and $350,000 to cover the attorney general's investigation and other costs. HP has agreed to "injunctive relief" provisions that include stronger in-house monitoring and oversight to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards, and protection of privacy rights, during investigations. Those provisions will last five years.
Lockyer's office will receive up to $500,000 each year and local prosecutors will receive up to $500,000 to prosecute privacy and intellectual property rights violations.
HP issued a statement outlining internal process controls resulting from talks with Lockyer.
"We are pleased to settle this matter with the attorney general and are committed to ensuring that HP regains its standing as a global leader in corporate ethics and responsibility," Mark Hurd, HP's chairman and CEO, said through a prepared statement.
The company plans to have an expert conduct comprehensive reviews of HP's investigative practices and work with the ethics and compliance officer in making improvements when necessary. It will also expand the ethics chief's responsibilities to include reviews of investigations to ensure they address privacy and ethics issues. The company will also designate an independent director to review and report on compliance with legal and ethical requirements related to investigations.
HP will expand its employee and vendor codes to include the company's legal and ethical standards that apply to investigations. The company will also create a Compliance Council within HP that will develop, revise, and oversee policies and procedures for ethics and compliance programs. Finally, HP's annual training requirement will include a more prominent ethics component as well as additional training for employees involved in investigations.
Former HP board chairperson Patricia Dunn, former counsel Kevin Hunsaker, and three contractors still face felony criminal charges related to the investigation. They have all pleaded not guilty.
