Two weeks ago I had to go on a business trip and I figured I would snap some Aerial photos so you can use them as references. There are about ~250 photos and most of them are pretty high resolution (around 3,000 x 2,000) so the download is a little large.
Please note that I did not touch any of these up or modify them in any way. So there may be a few out of focus and what not.
There are three folders:
Ohio to Phoenix - Ohio (CLE) to Phoenix (PHX) at 5:00 P.M. (EST) to 6:08 P.M. (MDT) (kind of cloudy)
Phoenix to Ohio - Phoenix (PHX) to Ohio (CLE) at 7:00 A.M. (MDT) to 1:30 P.M. (EST) (mostly clear)
Misc - A couple of misc. photos of various things
Attached are a few samples. Enjoy.

Very nice pictures! I always prefer a seat at the aisle since I'm quite tall, so I finally get to see what I'm missing out on.
And they looks almost as real as some of the terrain engines out here.

'He talks about your body... while he's touching every inch of mine.' Couples counselor 'sent taunting texts to female patient after having affair with the husband'
- The couple - who had been married for 17 years - went to Sheila Loven because they thought she had the same values as them
- Used the sessions to drive a wedge between them and have an affair with husband
- When the couple realized her plan and reconciled, she starting sending them disturbing texts
- Husband was at the point of suicide
- Wife testified yesterday the counselor was like her best friend
A Tarrant County prosecutor read an array of text messages on Wednesday that a wife claims were sent from their marriage counselor Sheila Loven, the same woman who was having an affair with her husband
Threatening and profane text messages sent from a marriage counselor to a couple she 'treated' were read out during her sexual assault trial yesterday after the court heard she used the sessions to separate the couple so she could have an affair with the husband.
Sheila Loven, 47, of Euless, Texas, had been taking the Arlington couple for joint therapy in 2009 and recommended it would be better to have individual sessions.
It was in these private sessions that Loven allegedly worked on turning the husband and wife against each other, persuading wife Brenda Holliday to file for a divorce and coercing the husband John into having an affair with her.
The pair had sex for more than two months in 2009 and only stopped when the husband and wife spoke about their individual sessions and realized Loven was trying to separate them rather than bring them together.
After they reconciled, Loven allegedly sent them a number of cruel texts until they went to police and reported her for harassment, according to the Star Telegram.
One text message read: 'When are you going to figure out you are nothing without me. I made you into a man.'
A message to the man's wife read: 'And then he talks about your body so bad while he's touching every inch of mine.'
'I hope you enjoyed your lunch. Didn't see me did you?' another text said.
But police turned the charge into sexual assault, saying the 47-year-old used her influence as a professional counselor to persuade the husband to have sex with her.
The maximum sentence is 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
A tearful Brenda Holliday took the stand last week and testified about her relationship with Loven, which she described as 'visiting my best friend once a week to talk'
Sheila Loven counseled a couple in 2009 and allegedly used her counseling influence to encourage the wife to file for divorce, then had an affair with her husband, according to prosecutors
Wife Brenda Holliday tearfully testified to the court yesterday that Loven became like a best friend to her and she believed she had found the perfect counselor, describing their visits like 'going to talk to my best friend once a week'.
'There was nothing I did not tell her,' the wife testified. 'I thought
that she genuinely cared about me and I told her how lucky I was to have
found her. She told me it was a God thing. She would always give me a
big hug before I left.'
'It wasn't marriage counseling, it was divorce counseling,' Mrs Holliday said in court.
Mrs Holliday also revealed Loven told her that her husband was a 'narcissist' and had stopped coming to sessions and following her directions to save the marriage. All the while she was allegedly having an affair with him.
Lead prosecutor Betty Arvin told the
jury yesterday: 'They didn't go running to the police yelling that he
was sexually assaulted. They didn't know. Most people don't know.
'Not only was what Loven was doing immoral and unethical, it was illegal.'
Loven's attorney said it was a legitimate relationship which blossomed from romance and there is no evidence of emotional coercion.
Adam Burny said: 'It had all the elements of any other romantic relationship. They went out to nightclubs and dinner, and they spent almost every night together. What you will not see in this case is any evidence of manipulation.'
But the prosecution argued there was manipulation from the beginning - when she started to see them separately to 'collect their secrets' and then using these secrets to drive a wedge between them.
Loven advised the wife to get a divorce and then asked the husband on a date. Days later, the pair began having sex.
She stopped office sessions with the husband but continued to have sex with him, while continuing to counsel his wife, Arvin said.
'She was the ultimate inside trader,' Arvin said. 'She got information about their lives that they had never shared with anyone and she used it, she twisted it for her own sick reasons.'
The wife also revealed yesterday that after she filed for a divorce and told her husband to leave the house, he pleaded to be allowed to return home and would call constantly, saying he was suicidal.
The husband testified that he was so
depressed after the divorce papers were filed that he went only to work
and then returned home.
'I'd play Russian roulette with my .357,' the husband said. 'A couple of times I put it to my head and clicked it.'
The first night he was able to go out was when Loven invited him out to a club with her. The next day she invited him over to her house when he said she straddled him and kissed her.
According to the star Telegram he told the court: 'Sheila got up from the chair and straddled me and kissed me. It scared me. I hadn't kissed anyone except my wife for years and years.'
Mrs Holliday said that when Loven eventually confessed to her that she was the one having an affair withher husband, she said to her: 'For a year, you told me what a mess-up he is, and you're a licensed professional counselor.
'Why would you want him? She said everything that she said about him is what she loved about him. As she left, she hugged me and told me that she loved me.'
Testimony is scheduled to resume this morning in state District Judge Ruben Gonzalez's court.

I was told I could receive both AM and PM versions for a shipping and handling charge of $6.95 per bottle, the total being 8 bottles. This was a $55.60 charge. I went ahead and gave them my debit/Visa card number and had the charge put on there. (After all, they were "Free", so I did really mind paying something for them since it was 8 bottles.)
I waited until December 29, 2001, got the customer service no. of 800-457-0825, and Erica at extension 3531 had to re-enter my order, because it was "never downloaded." (Although my checking account had been debited for the $55.60 within a week of the order.)
On Jan. 25, 2002, Raoul told me they were shipping the orders from the last part of Oct. 2001 that day. They had been on backorder.
On Feb. 9,2002, Alma said, "you should receive it by Feb. 22, 2002, but if you want to cancel, I can do that. She said they just had "backorders." I canceled.
I never received a refund of the $55.50 S & H, and have tried to call 1-800-457-0825 several times, and all I get is a recording about "Refund Requests" for "Abenergizer, 7420 Clairmont-Mesa Blvd., Unit #103-532, San Diego, California 92111, or E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Evidentally, Abenergizer is also an product of contention.
If I try to call the original order line at 1-800-689-5664, and ask for Diet ZX, they say it's the wrong number, and that number is now selling a product called "Thinway."
This is July 15, 2002, and I have never received a refund of the $55.60. I wrote my state's attorney general, and they got a very suspicious looking letter from someone named Claudia Garcia, Customer Service Supervisor. The letter has no letterhead, no date, no reference to Diet ZX, and no signature. As far as I am concerned, this is not a valid response to the complaint/inquiry.
I am still communicating with the Attorney General's office on this.
The sad part is, there may be some legitimate companies out there who want to get their products out to the public to try, but I will never buy anything from a television ad, or the internet, or a mail order business again!!

Classroom Games – Math Relay and Super Word
Listed here are a few nice video games on your day by day classes!
Math Hurdles
This can be a nice recreation to study quantity info and to get a few workout.
1) Inform scholars to discover a spouse that may be approximately the similar velocity.
2) Have scholars take a seat with ft prolonged throughout from their spouse.
three) Provide each and every pair a host (the numbers you assign is determined by the data you wish to have to study).
four) Name out a host reality (i.e. 2×4).
five) The pair that may be the solution to the reality get up and hurdle the opposite pairs' legs after which run again to their spot.
6) The scholar that will get again to their spot first will get the purpose.
Amendment up the pairs' numbers to follow other info. Ensure that companions are spaced out sufficient to permit the runner to hurdle and land accurately.
Tremendous Phrase
This can be a vintage recreation that improves vocabulary and spelling.
1) Placed scholars in pairs or in groups of 3.
2) Write an extended phrase at the board.
three) A few just right phrases are global and feature.
four) Have the groups create as many phrases as imaginable from the phrase.
five) Scholars would possibly scramble the phrases however now not use right kind nouns.
6) The workforce(s) with probably the most appropriately spelled phrases wins.
If scholars appear to be operating out of phrases you'll be able to upload bonus letters to elongate the sport. Attempt to fit more potent spellers with weaker speller in an effort to stay everybody concerned and the groups flippantly matched.
Either one of those video games will lend a hand to boost your classes and get your scholars engaged and shifting right through the day.

|Trace element-rich litter in soils: Influence on biochemical properties related to the carbon cycle
|Madejón, Paula ; Soler-Rovira, Pedro A.; Ciadamidaro, L. ; Cabrera, Francisco ; Madejón, Engracia
|Issue Date:
|Journal of Soils and Sediments 12: 663- 673 (2012)
|The aim of this work was to study the effect of 'trace element-rich litter' on the properties of two reforested polluted soils of different pH values (acidic and neutral) in terms of (1) availability of trace elements and (2) chemical and biochemical properties of the soil at different pH. We hypothesized that this litter would affect several parameters related to the organic matter cycle in soils, depending on initial soil pH. Materials and methods: The experiment was carried out in three different soils: a non-polluted soil (NP) and two trace element-polluted soils (PN, neutral soil, and PA, acidic soil). Soil samples were placed in 2,000-cm 3 microcosms and were incubated for 40 weeks in controlled conditions. Each soil was mixed with its corresponding litter, NP-L, PN-L and PA-L, and soils without litter were also tested for comparison. Microbial properties such as microbial biomass carbon (MBC), β-glucosidase activity and chemical properties such as pH, CaCl 2-soluble heavy metal concentrations, total organic carbon and water-soluble carbon (WSC) were measured after 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 weeks of incubation. Parameters related to soil respiration (basal respiration (R B), substrate-induced respiration (Rs), growth rate (μ), lag time (t lag) and time from substrate addition until peak of maximum respiration rate (t peakmax)) were measured after 0, 24 and 40 weeks of incubation. Results and discussion: Available trace elements did not increase during the incubation and were always higher in soil with acid pH. Litter increased values of WSC, MBC and β-glucosidase as well as R B and R S, especially at the beginning of the incubation. Organic matter mineralization rates, MBC and some parameters related to soil respiration (t lag and t peak) were strongly affected by soil pollution with and without litter. All these properties were strongly related with pH and, to a lesser extent, with a higher trace element bioavailability in soils. Conclusions: Acidity and trace element availability strongly affect organic matter decomposition and parameters related with the C cycle, such as MBC and soil respiration. However, despite heavy metal addition through the litter in polluted soil, organic matter input from litter is more beneficial than the removal of leaves from the soil, due to the positive effects that this causes in all parameters related to the C cycle.

By Keith B Richburg
For a glimpse of the unfolding debt crisis that many fear could be China's future, take a trip to the used-car market in this gritty industrial city on the coast. A half-dozen Mercedes-Benzes, an equal number of BMWs, several Porsches, a Range Rover, a Rolls-Royce and a Hummer, most just a few years old and in pristine condition, were there on a recent day. Their owners were all Wenzhou factory bosses who needed to sell their luxury cars for cash to pay back their business loans.
"It's because of the credit crisis," said Ma Jianrui, who runs one of the used-car shops and has seen his business booming. "They need money quickly." Many economists fear that the crisis not only could devastate Wenzhou but also may be a portent of what China could be facing on a vastly larger scale: a massive amount of accumulated debt that could rival the subprime crisis in the United States that triggered a larger recession. Most is private debt amassed by small and medium-size companies, economists said, but a portion is personal household debt. Any precise figures are largely guesswork, they said.
Wenzhou's debt crisis is complex but essentially boils down to this: The small and medium-size factories that drive the local economy found it increasingly hard to get bank loans this year as the government announced it was ending its stimulus spending and tightening the money supply to rein in inflation. The factories turned to the murky private lending market — small, licensed credit companies, unlicensed underwriters, bigger businesses with spare cash to lend, and loan sharks.
Some of the loans were to pay salaries and keep the factories humming. But much of the money went into more speculative ventures, such as investing in real estate or expanding into newer, riskier businesses with the lure of higher returns. And some individuals and businesses that could get scarce bank loans turned around and loaned the money out again, to friends and neighbors, at higher interest rates.
But the continued economic slowdown in the United States and Europe meant orders dried up for Wenzhou's hundreds of thousands of small factories. Inflation has been increasing — currently about 6 percent in China — which is one reason the government decided to tighten liquidity. Wages have been rising. The Chinese currency, the renminbi, has been gradually gaining in value against the U.S. dollar, further hammering these export-dependent factories.
With the loans coming due, many cannot pay. Some 90 factories have gone out of business here, and in many cases the bosses simply fled town, said Zhou Dewen, chairman of the Wenzhou association representing small and medium-size businesses. The boss of a shoe manufacturing company, deep in debt, committed suicide by jumping off the roof of his factory.
Several of the small credit companies have closed, and the owners have disappeared. Among them are the Jin Qiao Credit Guarantee, which was locked and empty during a recent visit, and the Jin Hong Credit Guarantee, the two firms run by a mother and her daughter. The mother is said to have fled to Finland and the daughter to Brazil. Some are comparing the problem of Wenzhou to the collapse of Bear Stearns in March 2008, which was a prelude to the larger financial collapse the following September. Guo Tianyong, an economics professor at Beijing's Central University of Finance and Economics, called Wenzhou "a signal that high-interest private lending might trigger a debt crisis."
There are already warning signs that the debt problem is spreading, specifically to parts of Jiangsu and Shanxi provinces, and to Inner Mongolia, where many owners of small mines are believed to be overextended. The privately held debt comes on top of official debt by local government "investment arms" that floated municipal bonds and took out huge bank loans during the stimulus period of 2009 and 2010 to build housing units, airports, highways and subways. Total local government debt in China has been estimated at anywhere between 10 trillion and 14 trillion renminbi (about $1.6 trillion to $2.2 trillion).
Many economists and independent analysts believe that if the central government in Beijing ends up absorbing all of the debt floating around — from private companies and overextended localities, along with the central government's own debt — China's real debt-to-GDP ratio could end up being 60 percent or higher.
The bigger concern for the government is unrest. When factories close and bosses flee town, workers cannot collect their salaries. It is a scene that officials do not want repeated across the country. The situation in Wenzhou is so urgent that during China's October National Day holiday, Premier Wen Jiabao traveled here with the finance minister and the governor of the central bank. One result of their trip was the establishment of a provincial bailout fund of up to 100bn renminbi (about $15.7bn), according to the Chinese media.

Two points guards, senior Jordan Hulls and freshman Yogi Ferrell, helped IU to an overtime victory against Georgetown, Dustin writes.
The IU football team sees progress with the season finale on the horizon, Dustin writes.
Hot-shooting Georgetown couldn't quite complete the upset of No. 1 Indiana, Liz Clarke of the Washington Post writes.
Indiana sees the Legends Classic title as yet another sign of growth, Andy Katz of ESPN.com writes.
Jordan Hulls' value went up, while Cody Zeller's stock slipped in Brooklyn, Luke Winn of SI.com writes.
Rutgers gladly went to the altar with the Big Ten, Steve Politi of the Newark Star-Ledger writes.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany is a slippery bedfellow, as Rutgers may soon find out, Dave D'Alessandro of the Newark Star-Ledger writes.
Not only did Hulls equal Cody Zeller's point total of 17, the mop-topped gunner from Bloomington also scored eight of his points in the final 2:01 of regulation and OT. He made arguably the two biggest plays of overtime; the first came on a right-wing pick-and-roll in which 6-foot-8 defensive stalwart Otto Porter switched onto him, but didn't seem to believe that Hulls had the desire to drive the ball all the way to the rim. When Hulls changed pace, Porter stopped sliding, and that's when he was blown by for a beautiful runner off the glass — and an and-one free throw, because big man Nate Lubick stepped over late and fouled Hulls after the release. It put the Hoosiers up 70-64, and on their next possession, Hulls perfectly executed another pick-and-roll, knifing a bounce pass to a rolling Zeller that resulted in two free-throws, and another six-point lead. From then on, the game was out of reach.
It's a testament to how scared Georgetown was of Hulls' three-point shooting that coach John Thompson III ordered, on a number of big possessions, his best two defenders — the 6-8 Porter and 6-8 Greg Whittington — to mark a guard who was eight inches smaller. After going 3-of-6 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, Hulls is now shooting 55.2 percent on the season (16-of-29).
Hulls has been so hyper-efficient that only two players in the country who use at least 15 percent of their team's possessions score at a higher per-possession rate than he does, according to statsheet.com: Creighton's Ethan Wragge (1.760 PPP, 15.5 percent usage) and Wright State's J.T. Yoho (1.608 PPP, 16.1 percent usage). Hulls is scoring 1.602 PPP and using 15.3 percent of Indiana's possessions.
He isn't the Hoosiers' go-to-guy — their offense is still going to be dominated by Zeller and Christian Watford — but he's an incredibly valuable floor-spreader in a starting lineup that lacks another elite shooter. There's no way that Indiana would have the nation's top offense without him.
Jordan was good last night and was a PTPer. But Sheehey sparked the run in the second half and should have been in the lineup down the stretch. With Will in the game during the stretch, we increase our lead and don't go to OT. And Will has flatted out sucked during the past couple games and the first half of last night's game. Where has his free throw shooting gone?
#1… That's good stiff… My kinda post right there!
Booooo… Thats good stuff…
It's good stuff. He's basically reiterating the play-by-play and toying around at some stat site.
But the best stuff, the memorable stuff, "the glory, guts, and gumption written all over his grumpy face" phrase, he has stolen from another blogger that used those exact words to describe Jordy over many occasions the last three years.
^ I know, man, it was a kind hommage to that blogger. And the paragraph is entirely taken from Luke Winn's SI.com article. The one Jeremy quoted. It's proof you guys read comments before you follow the links…
As for the G4 phrase it's been -ed a long time ago, of course…
It's good to pay homage, but you should have used blockquotes for the SI piece.
Is there an Establishment protocol we're supposed to follow here? It's not o.k. to read comments and maybe go to links on a later visit? I didn't realize we had to go to links first(many bloggers of Scoop have commented that a lot of the links are paid sites owned by Zach Osterman and I, admittedly, overlook them thinking they are subscription). My bad.
Anyway, I no longer read SI because of Seth Davis's affiliation. If we're talking about people other than the founder of the 'glory, game, guts…' phrase for Jordy, the only additional expert I value is Bobby Knight when were talking about the all-around character and basketball skills of Jordan Hulls.
And just to be precise, It's really a G5 phrase..Glory, game, guts, and gumption written all over his grumpy face.
…when [we're] talking about
Let's Review:
G-5 = Glory, Game, Guts, and Gumption written all over his Grumpy face.
D-5 = Dowry, Dame, Dotes, and Dim sum written all over his Drumly face.
I just think a nice anagram to Bobby Knight is Knobby Bight.
I just think a nice anagram to Seth Davis is Saved Sh*t.
Dowry, Dame, Dotes, and Dentyne written all over his Drumly face.
Funny, but this D-5 would also describe me.
I thought 'Drunk Tom Crean' described you…?
Dowry, Dame, Dotes, and Drunk Tom Crean written all over his Drumly face.
With the activity today I guess we can consider this site
is "closed". Too bad.
I agree Ron. With one person threatening to sue Herald Times, I don't want anything used against me.
How did ESPN not award Hulls the game MVP after last night's game? They gave it to Zeller! Zeller played O.K., not bad, but not MVP good. Hulls really made the difference, on both ends of the floor. He was clutch and demonstrated great leadership.
I am most impressed with the improvement Hulls has demonstrated on defense. Is it me, or is he simply a lot better on defense this year? He seems quicker, anticipates better, and has improved his defense a lot.
I love all the little things Zeller does, but I hope he gets his free throw stroke straightened out soon, or he's going to be a hack magnet. I know it's early in the season, but shooting about 50% from the line is terrible, especially for a kid that grew up in Indiana (he did make them in overtime, which was a relief).
If the refs had used any reasonable standard to call fouls last night, GT's big men would have fouled out about two minutes into the second half. Zeller was getting hacked and shoved all night. I guess he needs to get used to it, because given his talent, I think that's the way most teams are going to try to play him from here on out.
Same here. I guess the man is sick, so maybe a free pass is in order. Like you said, hopefully it won't become an issue down the road. What's the opinion on how much of a difference HP and PJ will make once they come back? Night and day?
I think we're going to destroy people once those two are on the team.
If they double team Zeller inside, they'll be open for an easy dunk.
Rebounding machines who can block shots all day long.
Can't wait!!
You and I, baby! You and I.
I sure hope so. I am tired of Zeller being double teamed, with no help. Hopefully they can play in the Ball State game to log some decent minutes. The NCAA acts as if it has to ruffle through pages and pages of information to come to a decision. They already did that. This decision should have been made last night.
Laffy? Are you still there?
Here's my recommendation for ending the trolling:
Comments that will get you kicked or banned from the live show chat:
– Comments that are below a high school reading level, unintelligible, contain too many misspellings or unnecessary punctuation, etc.
– Comments that are offensive to other posters or blog authors without offering some form of constructive criticism. If you really have to get something off your chest, and think it might offend, send private email to "[email protected]" instead of posting it openly.
– Unhelpfully terse comments like "sucks, boring, worst yet, yawn". If you want to state that you feel said issue is "depressing/bumming you out/making you angry" without offering anything substantive, do it on Facebook and not in here where your comments will infuriate other people.
– Repeated off topic chat (like religion and politics!!!).
How could anyone have plagiarized "Glory, Guts and Gumption….Grumpy, etc…" verbatum in its entirety and not known it was stolen straight out from Luke Winn, SI today when Winn's comment was part of the HT's 'Good Morning's offerings? Dustin…..?

Linn Energy: that did not work so well
From the original 8-K which triggered this series of posts:
Fact #1 – LINN is confident in the validity and accuracy of its audited financial statements.
Drolly I note that for 2012, the company reported net loss of $387 million, or $1.92 per unit. For the quarter the loss was $187 million. (Source here.) Obviously a good part of this loss was write-downs from writing off oil and gas properties that became less valuable as gas prices fell.
However there should be an offsetting write-up in the value of the hedges so that defense will get only so far.
Whatever: unusually for a stock I write about in Linn's case I (mostly) believe in the validity of the accounts. The accounts say quite bluntly that
(a). This is a loss making enterprise.
(b). That this business pays out large and increasing distributions despite those losses and
(c). The business raises ever increasing amounts of funds using ever-more-novel ways of doing it.
To me that looked like a Ponzi scheme on its last legs. Indeed to come to a different conclusion I thought you had to accept some non-standard non-GAAP measures as reality. In other words you have to ignore the audited bottom line for the company.
Many people it seems do ignore the bottom line. They are encouraged by the management - and they might be right - but for the moment I have (and retain) a different opinion.
But I was wrong
Despite not changing my opinion on the fundamentals of Linn I will confess to being wrong on one important (nay critical) point.
When Linn launched Linco (their non-MLP associate which exists only to hold interests in Linn) I thought the money-raising was on its last legs. Specifically I thought that rather than target the non-sophisticated mom-and-pop investors who buy MLPs they were being forced to target more sophisticated investors as they had run the non-sophisticates out of money.
I thought LinnCo meant Linn was on its last legs.
I was wrong. Spectacularly (and unprofitably) wrong.
Yesterday (as many will have noticed) Linn used Linco stock as a currency to buy a C-Corp - a very big acquisition - their biggest to date.
I did not see it coming. It was not even on my original list of risks in the position. Wrong!
This is a great deal for Linn. They get to swap what I believe to be near-worthless stock for some old - but still valuable oil assets. Those assets will generate cash - cash that can keep this whole thing rolling along for a few more years.
So even if I am right that Linn is a Ponzi (and many company supporters disagree with me) it is not a Ponzi that will collapse next week. And so my opportunity to profit will not be next week.
I covered most of my short.
For a loss.
PS. The company now has some time to prove that it is not a Ponzi. Substantial GAAP profits might be a start - but hey - ten more years of distributions would also be effective.
Sentiment: Hold
You could have sold above mkt puts. That wld have reduced your short covering costs, I write a weekly column for Opportunist Magazine. It is available on line. Look for me under Articles.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I enjoyed reading what the big shorter had to say, but without the use of quotation marks and clear attribution, reading the post was a challenge. I find this to be common in many posts. Don't know why.

Well last month they called me at work telling me I was late on the payment I immediately called my wife asking her for an answer she said she had no bill. I said well it doesn't matter you have to pay regardless of bill. I check out my previous statement and notice the payment is due the next day. I called them back and did a check by phone + 5.96 fee for processing which is insane. Next month guess what my APR has increased to 49.99% this is no joke I printed the site where you can view your bill online.
I called them and demanded an answer to why my rate went from 18% TO 49% OVERNIGHT and they anwered it was due to my late payment it makes your interest rate triple. This is no s**t, I about went insane, they lowered it back down to normal since it was not late but please anyone who has this lame company please check your statement for bogus fee's and interest point changes. Thank god they reported good now I have a capitol one but still have theirs since it has no balance other than the fee they charge to it every month. They are not a scam in the sense they do deliver a real credit card. BUT I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.
Best Regards.

If you like your guys clean cut and muscular, this video is for you! A bunch of extremely toned and well muscled bodies are on display - in fact, these guys look like Greek gods! Most of the action happens in the gym, with a boxing lesson soon turning into some hardcore foot fetish and anal sex. Then the action switches to the weight room, with a couple of extremely handsome dudes taking advantage of the weight bench - but they use it to push their hard cocks into each others' tight sphincters, not to push weight! At the conclusion, an incredibly beefy dude with a fucking huge cock jacks himself off solo all over his own flat stomach.

Q&A: What is the status of lead contamination and remediation in St. Louis, following Flint crisis? By Kelly Moffitt • Mar 2, 2016 Abby Lanes | Flickr The lead contamination water crisis in Flint, which has captivated American attention since early this year, has a lot of people asking: Could this happen where I live? On Wednesday's "St. Louis on the Air," several guests joined host Don Marsh to discuss the state of lead remediation in St. Louis and if a water crisis of such a magnitude could occur here. Federal inspectors cracking down on lead paint violations in St. Louis By Véronique LaCapra • Aug 10, 2015 Abby Lanes | Flickr Inspectors from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are in St. Louis for the next few months, making sure that contractors are following federal lead paint laws. Businesses with employees that do renovation, repair or painting work must ensure they are federally trained and certified. If they're not, companies could be fined up to $37,500 a day for each violation. City Of St. Louis, St. Louis County Receive Federal Funding For Lead Safety By Camille Phillips • Oct 29, 2014 Camille Phillips/St. Louis Public Radio St. Louis and St. Louis County will be able to increase efforts to reduce the number of children in the region exposed to lead, thanks to grants donated Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The city and county both received 2.5 million dollars from HUD, although $100,000 of the county's grant is ear-marked for a separate initiative. According to St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, the city's grant will be primarily used to preemptively make 180 rental units safe from lead. Hundreds Of Children Diagnosed With Lead Poisoning In St. Louis Each Year By Camille Phillips • Mar 17, 2014 Courtesy Lead Safe America The city of St. Louis has been working to reduce lead poisoning since the health department introduced a lead program in the 1940s. Since that time great strides have been made. But the danger of exposure to lead still exists in the city, and screenings reveal more than a thousand cases of elevated blood lead levels each year. St. Louis makes strides in reducing lead poisoning in children By Robert Joiner • Aug 26, 2010 St. Louis is making great strides in its attack on childhood lead poisoning, according to statistics released Friday by the city's Health Department. The report said the level of lead poisoning in children reached an all-time low of 3.2 percent in 2009. That represents an 80 percent drop in the number of children with elevated lead levels since 2001. At that time, the rate was 16.2 percent, health officials said.

No Grief for the Gremlins.
By Amber Shumake.
Last week I lost my soul. I looked all over—here and there, up and down, throughout the Lost and Found.
"The term 'gremlin' as we are most familiar with it comes from Steven Spielberg's 1984 horror comedy Gremlins. Gremlins are those evil little green tricksters who wreak havoc everywhere they go…
Shame sends the gremlins to fill our heads with completely different messages of:
Dare not! You're not good enough!
Don't you dare get too big for your britches!
I traipsed through strangers' forgotten undergarments and sweat towels and sunglasses galore, but my spirit, my core, the essence of who I am eluded me. I donned a few tattered pieces, competitive culottes and a resentful red sweater that I tied together beneath a clingy cloak of insecurity.
"You don't have to go it rogue all alone," a friend said. But I wouldn't listen. Pride wouldn't let me.
"I'm not sure I can trust you," and, even in the slim chance that I can—I don't want to. "I don't need your help."
Enter gremlins, stage left:
you'll never be as successful as x.
who are you to think you can y?
you're unworthy of z…
There I was, stuck. Gremlins Part III. (They wouldn't leave me be, so together we slept.)
"Give me some covers," I wept, shoving the snoring culprit over. "You're impossible," I kicked the sideways bastard at my feet. "What about me?"
After midnight, unbeknownst to me, they became ever more incorrigible. Off to the couch I retreated in desperate need of sleep. But down the stairs they came. No refuge for me. For days I wandered lost and disheveled.
"I've looked everywhere. Have you seen Joy?" I asked the gremlins. Finally, said friend became as relentless as the gremlins. "I'm sensing something funky off of you. Are you ok?" she texted me.
"Why I have no idea what you're talking about," I deflected.
"Do you want to meet?"
I didn't. But I did. I agreed. And I'm glad.
She shined a mirror upon me.
There. You see?
You're beautiful, strong, brazen and bold.
Of love, you're deserving.
Hell, you are love—no matter how unnerving.
Like ants beneath a future sociopath's magnifying glass, the gremlins scattered, beseeched by my light. And the ones who survived suffocated in a subsequent storm of snot and tears.
"How could I have been so stupid to listen to my shadow?" I thought.
Re-enter self-righteous gremlin, stage right:
You're about to be 30.
You're a yoga instructor.
You have a master's degree.
Hmph, I'm human. Therein lays the answer.
Pow. Poof.
Gremlins gone {wow}!
For the gremlins, I feel no grief.
Their sudden death {sigh} what a relief.
Nobody is exempt. And those moments when we feel stuck and low—those moments are a thing of beauty too. They offer us the opportunity to grow, a forum upon which to champion joy. Like light and water, gremlins hate joy.
{Don't feed them after midnight.}

New Book – 'Uniting Mississippi: Democracy and Leadership in the South'
By Eric Thomas Weber, associate professor of Public Policy Leadership at the University of Mississippi.
Available in paperback, ~$20 (Amazon US, UK, Canada).
About the book:
Uniting Mississippi applies a new, philosophically informed theory of democratic leadership to Mississippi's challenges. Governor William F. Winter has written a foreword for the book, supporting its proposals.
The book begins with an examination of Mississippi's apparent Catch-22, namely the difficulty of addressing problems of poverty without fixing issues in education first, and vice versa. These difficulties can be overcome if we look at their common roots, argues Eric Thomas Weber, and if we practice virtuous democratic leadership. Since the approach to addressing poverty has for so long been unsuccessful, Weber reframes the problem. The challenges of educational failure reveal the extent to which there is a caste system of schooling. Certain groups of people are trapped in schools that are underfunded and failing. The ideals of democracy reject hierarchies of citizenship, and thus, the author contends, these ideals are truly tested in Mississippi. Weber offers theories of effective leadership in general and of democratic leadership in particular to show how Mississippi's challenges could be addressed with the guidance of common values.

Matthew Adler, Well-Being and Fair Distribution: Beyond Cost-Benefit Analysis
Matthew Adler has a major new book with OUP that will interest many readers of this blog. Here is the description:
Well-Being and Fair Distribution provides a rigorous and comprehensive defense of the "social welfare function" as a tool for evaluating governmental policies. In particular, it argues for a "prioritarian" social welfare function: one that gives greater weight to well-being changes affecting worse-off individuals. In doing so, the book draws on many literatures: in theoretical economics, applied economics, philosophy, and law. Topics addressed include the following: the nature of well-being and the possibility of interpersonal comparisons; the measurement of well-being via "utility" numbers; why a "prioritarian" social welfare function is more appealing than alternative forms (for example, a utilitarian, leximin, or "sufficientist" function); whether fair distribution should be conceptualized on a lifetime or sublifetime basis; and social choice under uncertainty.

Thom Brooks, Punishment
Punishment is the most comprehensive monograph on the subject available. It is accessible for readers coming to the topic for the first time with new arguments and developments in each chapter that will be of interest to those already working in the field, including the defence of a new theory of punishment: the unified theory of punishment and its ideal of punitive restoration.The blurb: "Punishment is a topic of increasing importance for citizens and policy makers. Why should we punish criminals? Which theory of punishment is most compelling? Is the death penalty ever justified? These questions and many others are addressed in this highly engaging guide. Punishment is a critical introduction to the philosophy of punishment offering a new and refreshing approach that will benefit readers of all backgrounds and interests. This is the first critical guide to examine all leading contemporary theories of punishment, including the communicative theory of punishment, restorative justice, and the unified theory of punishment. There are also several case studies examined in detail including capital punishment, juvenile offending, and domestic abuse.

How to Value a House?
I became a brand new real estate agent in New York in 1991 and learned how to value a house. In class, we compared 5-6 houses in a subdivision, located along a single street. We learned how to value a house, by comparing apples-to-apples houses, standard houses that looked basically the same look from the outside. Some had garages or decks; some had more bedrooms or baths than others; some had different upgrades like a new kitchen, newer bathroom, etc. We learned how to price a house, by comparing the neighboring properties to the "subject" house – the house we were trying to determine how to price. We used a form like the one below. You can find a variety … [Read More...]
