A number of credit unions are dedicated to helping people grow. Recently, 1st Financial Federal Credit Union (Wentzville, MO) partnered with a local library foundation to help promote literacy, and White Eagle Credit Union (Augusta, KS) collected school supplies for students in need.
"Making It Happen. Together." It's more than the theme of the very first Heartland Credit Union Association (HCUA) Convention & Annual Meeting; it's a way of life for credit union and HCUA staffers.
Missouri and Kansas credit unions are asked to share information with the Heartland Credit Union Association (HCUA) in connection with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rule for payday, vehicle title and certain high-cost installment loans. There is concern that the overly broad scope of the rule will sweep in products and services offered by credit unions that are not even similar to a payday or small dollar loan. In addition, i

The Stores That Cross Class Lines
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Published: March 15, 1998
COLLEEN McQUISTON is an upper-middle-class homemaker, and she likes to shop accordingly. She buys cosmetics at Foley's, a department store near her home outside Houston, and clothes at Lord & Taylor. She hits Neiman Marcus each year at Christmas. But when she needs a lipstick or guest towels or socks for her children, she is likely to go to Target.
''I'd rather spend $5 on a picture frame at Target than get it at Dillard's for $15,'' Mrs. McQuiston said. Even as more income flows into her house -- her husband is a chemical engineer in the thriving Texas economy -- that desire has only grown. ''I try to make more of an effort to go to Target,'' she said. ''You can save a lot of money on things that look just as good.''
American retailers know that the country is full of Mrs. McQuistons. Middle- and upper-income shoppers, the bread and butter of the retail industry, are shopping their way up and down class lines in unprecedented ways. They shop at Saks Fifth Avenue for a blouse and a costly tube of eye cream, then head to T. J. Maxx the same afternoon for children's clothes or window valances.
Chains like Bloomingdale's, with their commitment to always keeping half the store on sale, have drawn in lower-income shoppers who 10 years ago would not have bothered to come through the doors. But even more striking is the success in recent years of lower-priced merchants, particularly discount stores, in drawing middle- and upper-income shoppers to their aisles.
The epitome of this cross-shopping is Target, the discount chain that has grown in a decade to become the biggest unit of the Dayton Hudson Corporation. The average household income of its shoppers is around $40,000 a year, versus $25,000 to $30,000 for Wal-Mart and Kmart, the country's biggest discounters.
It is not that the affluent have gotten cheap; sales for luxury goods retailers were at a decade high last year. Rather, successful retailers of lower-priced goods have managed to tap into what might be called the Vanilla Candle Syndrome. Tired, overworked shoppers prefer to save their paychecks for bigger thrills like vacations and massages than to spend them on expensive baby clothes and place mats; and if they cannot afford the vacation or the massage, they go for a scented candle instead.
Indeed, 90 percent of shoppers with household incomes of more than $70,000 a year shop in discount stores, according to a recent survey by WSL Strategic Retail, a consulting group in New York. Five years ago, that percentage was only half as large.
The best of the lower-priced stores allow shoppers to get in and out quickly yet enjoy the sort of service and some of the ambiance offered by department stores a decade ago. Their clothing and housewares shelves offer attractive, inexpensive interpretations of specialty store merchandise, just a few aisles away from the less sexy but all-important items like milk, white T-shirts and potting soil. All this is wrapped in clever advertising that makes people feel that they are part of a big, hip national secret.
''Ten years ago, you had places like Woolworth's where people thought they had to trade courtesy, clean stores and wide aisles for price,'' said Candace Corlett, a partner at WSL Strategic Retail. ''They don't have to do that anymore -- thank you very much, Target and Wal-Mart.''
Thanks, also, to Old Navy, Home Depot, Ikea and the other retailers that manage to move less-expensive goods in a stylish, witty way to all segments of the economic spectrum.
''We have seen a chairman of the board of a major New York company standing in the checkout line next to someone who drives a truck for him,'' said Bernard Marcus, chairman of Home Depot, the do-it-yourself behemoth based in Atlanta.
Whole shopping centers have been designed with the cross-shopper in mind -- places like the Tustin Marketplace, a center in the heart of affluent Orange County, Calif., that features T. J. Maxx, Ross Stores, Ikea, Home Depot and Old Navy -- and where the average shopper's household income is $60,000.
Marketing experts say the shift in the consumer psyche started with the recession of the early 1990's, when purse-tightening was mandatory, but has persisted through the decade, as shoppers realize that there is no reason to dig their way through crammed department store racks or wait out sales for a simple pair of cotton socks.
''Consumers are looking to buy at the high end, where the value is unambiguous and more fun, or at the lower end, where they can get the best price and be done with it,'' said J. Walker Smith, a managing partner at Yankelovich Partners, the market research firm.
Stylish . . . and Disposable
The shift has done wonders for the business of Target.
Just a decade ago, it was operating 80 stores from its base in Minneapolis. Now, with 807 stores in 39 states -- and in the midst of an aggressive East Coast expansion even as competing discounters go belly up -- Target has managed to seduce more-affluent customers like Mrs. McQuiston, who once were but a corporate pipe dream.

The Reviews were Correct
By johnthebaker
from East Coast - USA
Comments about Koh-I-Noor RapidoSketch Pen Set:
I've used (and still have on my desk) three iterations on the .35 KOH-I-NOOR RAPIDOGRAPH and RAPIDOLINER pens. The technical pen dating back 25+ years is a finicky beast and you can easily damage the nib when using (I stipple profusely) and/or cleaning. The next generation was the RAPIDOLINER which was cool at the time because when you needed ink - you had no choice but to replace the nib as well - it was a single unit barrel. But this proved expensive and looking back with a 2016 "go green" mentality - a bit wasteful as well. This new RAPIDOSKETCH pen - though I've only been using it a few days - seems to strike a terrific balance. Refillable ink, dedicated nib made of stainless steel and solid build quality. It seems to marry the two older technologies well. The result is a solid performing pen, easy to fill etc. Obviously I hold onto my stuff because I take care of it. How this one goes down in history is hard to tell - but given I have my originals going back quite far - I suspect this one will be a winner as well. If something changes I'll certainly update the review.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this pen
By Zippers
from San Diego, CA
The reason I like this pen is that it does not clog up on me. It is great for sketching and comes with its own ink. It is easy to refill. It is waterproof and perfect for painting over the ink. I can also paint in watercolor and use the pen over the watercolor.
Best drawing pen anywhere.
By Jimmy
from Carlisle,PA
Used to draw pen and ink drawings. Have used these pens for over 20 years.The maker will replace pens that become difficult for many reasons.I never will use other make ink pens.
Love this pen!
By Lyd'a
I carry this pen with my sketchbook because I like it's durability and its consistent line. It comes with it's own ink which is a plus. It is my primary sketch pen. I have used felt type pens that always break on me or the point goes right into the pen when I use pressure. I eliminate the problem by using the Rapido Sketch pen. I think the pen is different from the other Koh-i-nor pens because the sketch pen doesn't clog on me. I love this pen. If I lose it I immediately replace it.
Koh-I-Noor Rapido Sketch Pen
By Barb
from Alabama
This pen was less expensive in the catalog than I would pay at the local art store with their 40% discount. My regret is it didn't come will the black washer to tighten and loosen the nib end for filling and cleaning.
RapidoSketch Pen
By Grey Fox
from Denton, Tx
I got this pen to try out techical pens without having to drop a huge sum of money. I use it for inking straight lines and sometimes to touch up work.It seems like a good pen to me, though a little scratchy if you're heavy handed. Otherwise it's very smooth. The ink flows good, and I've never experienced a clog with normal use over the past couple of months.It can be a little difficult to take apart for cleaning, the O ring in particular likes to be finicky. But I don't think it's a huge deal, my understanding that that's just part of what you get with technical pens.
Best .25mm Pen!
By L.A.
from Texas
I have used many different technical pens over the years with the RAPIDOGRAPH being the most reliable for me. This time I noticed the RapidoSketch and decided to give it a try instead of ordering a .25mm RAPIDOGRAPH nib replacement.In the web photo the RapidoSketch looked as if the pen nib and body were both of metal- The pen body is in fact plastic like a RAPIDOGRAPH although slightly different structurally. The clear plastic body allows one to see the ink flow right up to the pen point.The RapidoSketch handles well with good weight and balance.One factor about this pen is I have found its ink to come down faster after filling. With a .25mm RAPIDOGRAPH it usually takes five to ten minutes to get the ink flowing- sometimes longer; with this RapidoSketch it took only three minutes to have the regular flow going.Thus far my only "dislike" is an aesthetic one - I wish that the pen was not brown! If it had a total clear pen cap and handle that would make it perfect!
By Kiki
from Kittery, Maine
I found it a little hard to believe that a rapido-sketch pen could write in any direction without skipping, but this one truly does not skip and I can write or draw in any direction. I have many, many radipograph pens but have never found one this smooth. I recommend it highly.
Great pen!
By Cartoonig Lady
from Brooklyn, NY
Even flowing pen that does not bleed! Great drawing and lettering pen. My only vice is that I wish they would make largernib points!

Love rapidographs, not their clogs
By Great Bear
from Eatonville, WA
I bought the .35 and .25 sizes for a project. I have used both felt tip pens and rapidographs over the years and prefer the smooth flow of ink from the rapidographs. The same problem still plague the pens though. At small sizes they easily clog and have to be cleared repeatedly and often. Also, I had to buy a replacement for the .25 as the piston simply fell out of the nib after just 2 hours of use. Good product overall, but know what you are buying.

Recently, Christine Nasalski has been arrested and charged with the rape of a 10-year old girl. [continued below]....
Kristine Nasalski is the one who was molested by her own mother, as a kid, and then turned out to be a pedophile herself.But she goes around slinging mud at everyone else, in a dellusional attempt to cover up her own heinous crimes.
You only have to see photos of her to see she looks like thin-haired, bottled "blond" transvestite with a huge nose.
Kristine Nasalski got a horrible boob job, BUT NEVER BOTHERED TO SPEND A FEW BUCKS TO GET HER HUGE HUMP-NOSE FIXED OR TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THE ERUPTIONS ON HER FACE---the same truly ugly face that she tries, unsuccessfully, to cover up with tons of cheap pancake make up, on;y to make it look even worse.
Who would want this 45-year old prostitute with the coarse features of a man and cheap hair extentions that still look thin and scraggly?Answer: Only diseased men who are looking for a low-cost, sliding scale hooker to give free fellatio.
Accompanying this report, about Kristine Nasalski, is a recent photo, showing her. See how she looks like Glenn Close with a huge schnoz.

Racist Jewish Coalition
I've written before about the nasty and just plain silly advertising from the Republican Jewish Coalition. But this morning I caught something that disturbs me. In their Electioneering Communications filings with the FEC they refer to Barack Obama as Barack Hussein Obama.
The only reason to use Obama's middle name is to feed into the xenophobia of others. No other right-wing group I can find has used Hussein in their filings just as no progressive group uses "John Sidney McCain" on theirs.
Throughout history, jews have paid a high price for bigotry. We've been discriminated against, tortured and even killed for our religion. That is why the idea that a Jewish group would perpetuate hate is so disgusting to me.

They sell stamps. That's what it's based on.
The USPS gets every penny of the postage sales. You really should try and keep up.
$5.26 is a huge hit. I haven't been able to find the basis for it. Is there a story in the news?
Downgraded by b riley from something to something else that doesn't matter either. Just an excuse to try and shake loose a few shares - they've been in kinda short - no pun intended - supply lately.

Myself of course i am always about business and got to work immediately creating sketches for him and sending him box after box of my custom clothing to sell in Florida where he resides to come up with money for more fabric, materials, industrial sewing machines etc.
i am going to insert an actual email conversation i do have more to prove my point.
"A A 3/2/11Hi, Good morning- Yesterday, i forgot to tell you, the package is there at the post office for pick up
Lenny Luv <firstname.lastname@example.com>3/4/11 to me : I will pick it up!!Thanks for sending and keep up the good work!! Your payday is getting closer so hang in there..."
For many months it was the same thing, "You'll be paid soon, i sold a few things and will send your money soon, the money is coming". [continued below]....
It's very upsetting. He not only stole from me, all that money i spent to get the packages to him, buy the material and time spent working on them was food taken from my children too! It's incredible. i don't know how these people sleep at night.
Shame on him. I WANT MY CLOTHES AND MONEY BACK!!!!

Good analysis by this company and gives the company an A- rating.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
If you recall The Street is run by Crammer.
Below is a realistic view:
Thursday, January 31, 10:56 AM ET
ConocoPhillips (COP -4.7%) stumbles nearly 5% a day after issuing a disappointing 2013 production forecast of 1.475M-1.525M boe/day, with a significant Q2-Q3 dip due to seasonality, planned maintenance and project tie-ins. "Production will decline in '13, and [COP] will need to show as we move forward that they can grow off that 2013 base," according to one analyst.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
How can the earnings release be disappointing when the company has said this would be the case? Of, course they are saying production will slip slightly in 2013 before a significant increase beginning in 2014. They gave a full explanation in their call. If people would only listen to the earnings call they would KNOW. Earnings actually BEAT the consensus by a penny a share so there should have been no big surprise there. Fine by me because this only gives me the opportunity to scoop up more at a bargain price.

#1 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Pathetic fraud & hoax
AUTHOR: anonymous - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 09, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, May 09, 2012
Josh, you should be ashamed of yourself! You know very well that this malicious assassination of my character is completely false & fabricated! Not only did we NOT commit anything near theft, we no longer were able to collect the fees you owed. We were authorized, by you, to debit your checking account directly for services up until the time you cancelled. You did not cancel, but instead closed your checking account (or informed your bank to no longer allow those debits). Once a few months of unpaid fees accrued, I called & you informed me that you would not be paying your owed monies.
I defy you to provide any shred of proof of any of these horrible accusations!
IF these accusations were accurate, I would be in prison! IF they were true of anyone, that person belongs in prison! Again--these terrible fabrications are completely false. Even your supposed origin is false! You live nowhere near Chicago or even in the Midwest!
Immediately after I read this report -- right after it was posted long ago -- I submitted a response (similar to this one). However, it was never posted, for some unknown reason. That bothers me a great deal -- making matters even worse. Since I am just now learning that my rebuttal was never posted, I am responding now.
Very important: I re-read this fraud this morning because a long-term client brought it to my attention. I shutter to think of the clients and/or potential clients that may have seen this & believed any of it.
Again -- there is no evidence of any of these outlandish accusations. Provide proof! Instead, I have hundreds of clients -- many of which, I am certain, would deny this slander.
Sincerely, Bill Schlunz, DB Financial, Wood Dale, IL

Bioluminescent and fluorescent proteins are now used as tools for research in all organisms. There has been massive progress over the past 15 years in creating a palette of fluorescent proteins with a wide spectrum of specific properties. One of the big challenges is to decide which variant may be best for a certain application. A recent article by Mann et al. in BMC Biotechnology describes a new orange fluorescent protein in plants.

Margaret Ann (Nancy) Benson, age 98, of Grand Marais, Minnesota and Redmond, Washington, died peacefully at home with her family on November 11. She had been active and enjoying good health until she suffered a small stroke on July 5. From that point on her health steadily declined. Her last trip back to her beloved Grand Marais home was this August.
Nancy was born November 15, 1916 in Knapp, Wisconsin to Louis and Clara Bruckner. She spent her early years in Lemington, Wisconsin, where her parents operated a general store and post office. Later she moved with her family to Hammond, Wisconsin, where she graduated from high school.
As a young woman Nancy lived at home and worked as a stenographer for the Rural Electrification Administration. She enjoyed her work and made lifelong friendships with coworkers. It was in those years that she became acquainted with Harold Benson, the man who would later become her husband.
In 1953, Nancy and Harold married and settled in Grand Marais. Harold and his brother Sherman owned and operated Midway Garage, later known as Midway Service Station. Nancy quickly came to love this little town on the shores of Lake Superior as well as the lakes, streams, and forest that surround it. Nancy became a devoted homemaker and a year later mother to their son Max. No child could wish for a happier, more loving, or more supportive home than the one Nancy and Harold provided.

In 1962, he sold the gas station to the corporate office and moved for a short time to St. Anthony Village, Minnesota.

They sold Tee-A-Way in 1968 and moved to Minnetonka, Minnesota. While working in the metro area, Jack met his future friends and employers who asked him to move to Florida to manage a condominium development.
HERBERT MILTON HEDSTROM, Grand Marais, Minnesota
April 23, 1917 - June 4, 2015
Herbert M. Hedstrom died Thursday, June 4, at the North Shore Hospital in Grand Marais after a short illness.
Born April 23, 1917 to Andrew and Alma (Berglund) Hedstrom, the 10th of 13 children, Herbert grew up with his siblings on Maple Hill, attending school there and in Grand Marais.
After graduating from high school in 1936, he went to work for the family lumber business, mainly at sawmills in the woods. He enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard and served throughout World War II, returning to Cook County in 1946 to work at the Hedstrom Lumber Company.
In 1948, he married Margaret Jane Tonkin, a Duluthian, who was the great love of his life and his heart's companion. They built a home on Maple Hill where they raised their 3 children. Herbert and Jane were partners not only in marriage but in quiet, deep and powerful faith, devotion to family, to community service and to hospitality. There was music in their home. The duets they often sang symbolized the harmony they strove to achieve in their life together. They moved to their home on the shore of Lake Superior in July 1980 and Herb resided there until his last day.
In business, Herb managed the retail operations until he retired in 1982. In his final year, Herbert was pleased to celebrate both the 100th anniversary of the business founded by his father and the birth of his great-grandson.

all of the parents are livid since they paid this money and got jipped on the diplomas that are not even useful documents since the date is incorrect. Miss deb. says there is nothing she can do to change the dates. she can TRY to talk to the printer and see if they can stamp over the "19" and make it "20". the thing is the origional diploma is filled out stating generic information and then stamped in areas that would vary for each graduate.
this includes the first two digits of the year which read "19" and they a stamped "09". this cheaply done certificate leads me, along w/ my fellow classmates and their parents, to belive that these diplomas are old and deb has simply stamped in the info hoping we wouldn't make a big deal. i personaly asked why the printer could not just redo the who document and her reply was "it would be too expensive". for the amount we paid for this school we should have legitimate diploma's god d**n it!
then we finially got our pictures we were required to have taken. although many parents, including my mother, paid shipping and handling, the i'mage studio insisted they bring the pictures to graduation. needless to say that was another waste of money since we paid to have our pictures shipped when they weren't.

The quality delivered by low-rate parametric speech coding deployed in commercial mobile satellite systems has to be assessed by formal subjective assessment methods due to their non-linear nature. Aeronautical systems, especially those for deployment in small aircraft, pose yet more stringent conditions due to high environmental noise levels. In this paper the results of an evaluation of the voice quality of DVSI's 4.8 kbit/s Advanced Multi-Band Excited (AMBE) coding under aeronautical channel conditions are presented for listening and conversational experiments. From these assessments it was concluded that that the voice quality of the Inmarsat Aeronautical system will be perceptibly improved when the current full-rate codec is replaced by the AMBE codec.

The other day I tried to search for something through the wordpress backend and noticed that wordpress searches posts, but not custom post type posts...is there something I need to do to enable this?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has ran across this issue, but for some reason I cannot find any resources on this at all.

Craig's lost finger to remain forever on 007 stage
And Craig is glad that he left a part of him behind."With the finger, there's a little piece of my flesh still on the 007 stage. We couldn't find it to stitch it back on," Contactmusic quoted Craig, as saying.
The actor insists the injuries he suffered during shooting are all part of being the world's most famous secret agent. "It's part of the nature of what we do. I mean, I'm throwing myself around all over the place," he added.

I experienced THE WORST EVER customer service in your Madison Heights, MI store. First of all...I am NO idiot when it comes to computers...not by any means. So when one of your sales reps asks me "Awww...did you pick that one out all by yourself honey?" Not am I only offended...but I cannot believe you would hire some jackass who treats your paying customers like idiots!!! Plus I showed him a thing or two!!!
Next we will go onto your service department...
I take in my computer...that I just bought 4 weeks ago...to have the card reader replaced because it isn't working. No big deal it happens and it is under warranty...right??? WRONG!!! I am told by the first person who greets me at the counter " This is no big deal, I should be able to have this to you by the end of the day" (That means Monday, September 17th in the evening since I dropped it off at NOON) So I call at 7:00 in the evening and ask if my computer is ready as I was told it would be. I am on hold for 12 minutes before I hang up and call again - because your ever so helpful people are too brain dead and lack the common sense to pick the phone back up and say that I may be on hold for more than a minute or two!!!
Finally after another 8 minutes (we are up to 20 minutes now) I am told that diagnostics are running on it. I call back Tuesday, September 18th and am told (after being on hold for ANOTHER 23 minutes) Sorry, but diagnostics are running on it. Do I really look like an idiot??? Same story on Wednesday, September 19th - after being on hold for 17 MINUTES. When I ask for a manager, I am put on HOLD YET AGAIN!! This guy Rick tells me "You must have misunderstood how long it would take. REALLY?!?! How do I misunderstand when I am told that it will be ready the same day??? How do you people run a business this way and still have a business to run?? And you wanted me to pay for the extended warranty I guess the negligence was FREE!
It is now Thursday, September 20th and here is how it went today... I call at 5:30 and speak to another Rich - he tells me that the diagnostics are DONE and what I initially told him was wrong with it was INDEED the case (IMAGINE THAT) He goes on to tell me it will be ready to be picked up tonight, and call by 8:00 pm to make sure its done. So I do just that. I call at 7:30 pm. Another idiot answers the phone and puts me on hold for 13 minutes. He comes back to the phone and tells me its still running diagnostics - (HOW FREAKING STUPID ARE YOU PEOPLE????) Ok...get me a manager...another 18 minutes later I get John on the phone.
This is the same man that initially told me it would be done on MONDAY!! He, as an employee, is astounded by the lack of work that was actually done on my machine - other that diagnostics of course - he tells me that he has the parts and will have it ready for me to walk out the door in 20 minutes! Are you kidding me!?!? I mean all this diagnostics over a $10 part and 20 minutes to install. You should be ashamed to even have a tech department when only one person is doing the work. You can bet your sweet a*s I will never purchase another item from your place. And I work with a lot of techies...so I will be spreading the word.

- February 19, 2012
THE backlash against tattoos has spread to restaurants and pubs, which are banning patrons with visible ink.
From Rouse Hill in Sydney's northwest to wealthy Double Bay in the east, signs are being erected warning patrons they will not be allowed in unless they cover up. The "no tattoo" policies followed NSW Police looking to ban tattoos from the force.
While some pubs and restaurants have formal bans on tattoos, many others have informal policies.
Andrew Stanway, owner of dining spot and watering hole Mrs Sippy in Double Bay, made no apologies for the sign on his door: "All body art is to be covered and not visible to the naked eye."
Mr Stanway said the policy was to keep out "riff-raff".
"With some tattoos, people can be of a lesser persuasion, if you like," Mr Stanway said.
"We don't want the riff-raff, we don't want the crap. I've watched too many places get ruined because of that. I've worked too hard for that."
Mr Stanway said he had no problem with small, discreet tattoos and did not mind if his policy discouraged young people from dining there.
"If you want to come in, you've got to be respectful to my business by being respectfully dressed," he said.
A sign at the Australian Hotel and Brewery in Rouse Hill reads: "NO Visable (sic) Tattoo's (sic)."
The two-year-old pub only enforces the policy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and also bans "gangs or gang clothing".
Matt Morris, a 26-year-old spray painter from Windsor, was rejected at Christmas over his three-quarter "sleeve" of tattoos on his left arm.
"They wouldn't let me in the door. But then we came here for my friend's party (on another occasion) and I put a long-sleeved shirt on and there were staff and other people here with tattoos. I asked the bloke (on the door) about the tattoo policy and they said it just depends on if they don't like the look of you. So I just rolled up my sleeves," he said.
General manager Marcello Colosimo said the tattoo ban applied to the hotel's staff as well as patrons.
"We have a dress policy that comes into effect after 9pm on Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights which includes: no hats, no thongs, no shorts, no offensive or highly visible tattoos, no singlets. This applies to staff as well," he said. "At all other times, these are all welcome."
Coogee Bay Hotel last year had a sign on the doors saying: "Entry is not permitted to anyone when wearing visible tattoos." But the sign has since been removed and when contacted by The Sunday Telegraph, a spokeswoman denied there was a no-tattoo policy.
Australian Hotels Association chief executive Paul Nicolaou said licensees were within their rights to deny entry to anyone as long as they do not breach anti-discrimination laws.

This is amazing. I am a 25 year old I have both visible and non visable tattoos and I think you people look like absolute pigs to single people out with tattoos. You think you are some kind of superior because you have different interests. I have never once been in a fight. Or caused "riff raff" in any type of way. I think this needs to be looked into a bit more because this is a disgusting act of discrimination and you should be ashamed of yourselves. It's snotty stuck up kooks like you that create the problem when you look down your noses at us and make rude comments about people with tattoos. You don't know the person so how can you judge. You are all an embarrassment not to mention stupid for turning away your own business.
Ben the Oracle Posted at 12:39 PM February 20, 2012
For the majority of people getting tattoos is purely to cover up mental shortcomings. Low self esteem usually does it. It's the same with smoking, except you can quit smoking by boosting your self esteem. Tatts only get uglier with age. I would like to know how many people with tatts don't smoke. Perhaps the minority they claim tatts are art? Next time if you have the urge to get inked, talk to a nurse from a retirement home. Let them explain to you what tattoos look like when you grow old! Big new industries coming up "Tatto Removalists" will be big business when the fad subsides. But don't expect us to pay for your bad decisions!
Brad Peachey of Brisbane Posted at 12:38 PM February 20, 2012
Ridiculous - narrow minded fools. It's discrimination and should be illegal. As the saying goes - the only difference between tattoo'd people and non-tattoo'd people is...... Tattoo'd people don't care if you dot have tattoos. Dress codes are fine and uphold them as much as you like. If your using tattoos as a way to discriminate against people who adhere to these dress codes is disgusting. Wake up.

Few contemporary pairings of saxophonist and pianist have been as inspired and productive as that of Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo. Since replacing the late Kenny Kirkland in Marsalis' quartet in 1998, Calderazzo has blended seamlessly into the uncompromising creative atmosphere of the ensemble and revealed new facets of his own conception, while Marsalis in turn has been inspired by the pianist's challenging instrumental support and growing strength as a composer. The relationship grows ever deeper, as documented on the new Marsalis Music CD Songs of Mirth and Melancholy. Read more »

Hi, i need help on my modularity-lite blog.
The navigation of this post is not right. Takes me 3 links within my post to find the blogs postings, and when i get to this page via the "heading" (not correct way)
it was a repeat of the last page now with the posts?
So, in summary my blog posts seem to be going via another page of exact same look? they should be on the categories page once, but instead another page after this. confused? so am i!
The peoples post are ugly with head shapes in boxes. Can this simply be elegant typing of peoples comments after my images on my blog?

Rob at http://www.temagami.info offered to become the first sponsor of Tally Graph in exchange for some guidance setting up the graphs. This may be helpful to other Tally Graph users as well, so here is a transcript of his setup.
I have just started a new blog at Temagami.info using wordpress and would like to use your plugin to produce a simple barchart which records the numbers of different fish caught/released by species ie Lake Trout, Walleye, Pike, Whitefish, Ling and Other. Each month the graph needs to be archived and a new chart started. I will be logging into the site periodically to update the running tally of fish caught every couple of days I would like the chart to be inserted onto a separate page linked from the main blog page.
I think we can get this done in under two hours total - most of it will be working out the usage with you. I may just be able to walk you through it, and not have to do anything behind the scenes.
If you have the plugin installed and activated, we can get started. Next would be entering some counts. You'll do this by writing a new post, and entering your counts in the custom fields area. If you don't want to attach them to published post, you can check the "Keep this private" box. Then scroll down to Custom Fields, and open it if it's collasped. The first time you enter a count for a species, you'll have to type the name, like "Pike Caught". After that, "Pike Caught" will appear in the menu of custom fields. In the text area on the right, type the number, then click "Add Custom Field". Do this for each species.
Give that a whirl. You can create bogus data on a test post and will go away later when you delete the post.
Ok I have saved and posted with custom fields.
Ok, those counts will be associated with the date of the post. You can enter counts for different days by making a post for each day, and clicking "Edit" under Post Status to change the post date.
The easiest way to make a monthly graph is in another post at the end of the month (you can edit that post date too). Try putting this tag in a new post:
[tally_graph chs="400x200" cht="bvg" key="Pike Caught,Muskee Caught" tally_interval="month" interval_count="1"]
That should give you the tallies for each species for the month prior to the post. Send me a link if you get something like that to work.
I called the code a tag, so Rob put it in the Tags area. After I figured that out:
Ah! I've confused you with lingo, sorry. The bracketed "tag" goes in the post content, not the Tags area. WordPress calls lots of different things tags, and I forget. Specifically, this is a shortcode that goes inside the post, and will be replaced by the graph.
OK! that works ... what do I add to the tag to label the bars? (Lake Trout, Ling...etc)?
If I want to create this on a page that is linked to the main page of the blog how would I do this as well.
There are two possibilities for labels. The first is to replace the month label with species. You might need to make the graph wider than 400 pixels to accommodate this:
[tally_graph chs="400x200" cht="bvg" key="Lake Trout,Ling,Northern Pike,Other,Smallmouth Bass,Walleye,Whitefish" tally_interval="month" interval_count="1" chxl="0:|Lake Trout|Ling|Northern Pike|Other|Smallmouth Bass|Walleye|Whitefish"]
The other way is to color code them and add a key:
[tally_graph chs="400x250" cht="bvg" key="Lake Trout,Ling,Northern Pike,Other,Smallmouth Bass,Walleye,Whitefish" tally_interval="month" interval_count="1" chco="ff0000,00ff00,0000ff,000000,ffff00,00ffff,ff00ff" chdlp="b" chdl="Lake Trout|Ling|Northern Pike|Other|Smallmouth Bass|Walleye|Whitefish"]
Those colors will be ugly - you can go to colorpicker.com and replace the six-character color codes like ff0000 with new ones.
These shortcodes will work in a page just like they do in a post, so you could just create a page each month with the same shortcode in it. Another way might be to make a category called "Fish Counts" or something like that, and make a post each month in that category with a new graph. Then the category link would take you to all the graphs, most recent first.
After that, Rob used the notes on the plugin page here to finish his Fishing Stats Page. Cool!

Hey there,
is there any way to prevent certain files from being overwritten by a plugIn update?
I provided a plugIn in which user's area able to add custom stylesheets by adding them to a specific directory WITHIN the plugIn folder.
No whenever I do push out updates those user-added stylesheets will be overwritten.

Connecting the Monster iClarityHD via Bluetooth is a simple process; it took us less than 5 minutes to pair it with an Apple iPhone. Once the device is switched to "on" on the back, hold down the power button to put it in pairing mode and select the device in the corresponding music player's Bluetooth settings.
Once paired, you have the flexibility of either listening to a stream of wireless music or using it for hands-free calling with the built-in microphone. In our anecdotal tests, the iClarityHD's noise-canceling feature adequately filtered out ambient background noise while picking up voices from several feel away, and callers on the other end reported clear audio with no fuzz.
We assume that most of the time you'll use the iClarityHD to listen to music, and though you won't likely be disappointed with its fidelity, we aren't as excited about it as the Soundmatters FoxL v2 speaker. Granted, the iClarityHD delivers adequately deep bass thumps at low to midrange volumes, but the FoxL benefits from an additional bass boost thanks to its BassBattery and Twoofer designs that wrap the battery in rubber for increased low-end vibration that you can actually feel.
Cranking the sound up on the iClarityHD results in a lot of fuzz and distortion, especially with tracks featuring heavy bass and low-end. For example, we listened to the entire TR-808-filled album "808s & Heartbreak" by Kanye West using the iClarityHD, and the little guy struggled to keep up with the constant bass hits--similar to what you'd hear in a car's stock speaker system at full blast. That said, as is the case with most Bluetooth speakers, don't expect the iClarityHD to power your next house party with its limited volume levels and sound representations--it's more suitable for smaller indoor events.

BMO Harris Bradley Center officials disappointed by panel's vote
Steve Costello, president and CEO of the BMO Harris Bradley Center, says he is disappointed with a decision by the city's Finance and Personnel Committeee to eliminate Mayor Tom Barrett's proposal to provide $175,000 in facility-derived parking revenue to the arena.
BMO Harris Bradley Center officials had said the money represents a conservative estimate of about 35% of the annual revenue BMO Harris Bradley Center events generate at the city-owned parking structure at N. 4th St. and W. Juneau Ave.
"The committee's decision is disappointing, but the needs at the BMO Harris Bradley Center are real. We know there are competing demands for resources. However, maintaining the BMO Harris Bradley Center is critical, and we need the city to be our partner," Costello said.
"The BMO Harris Bradley Center needs the city's help. The state has invested $10 million, and the private sector is investing $19 million. We already pay the city hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in lieu of taxes and for police services. The parking revenue targeted is generated by our events, and we believe seeking only one-third of that total is fair."
The decision on Friday came just hours before officials canceled an exhibition game between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors because of a slippery surface. The new floor, a Robert Indiana-inspired creation, is new this year but was too slippery. Bucks' team officials said they would look for a solution immediately.
Costello said he hopes the full council, which will meet next Friday to approve the 2014 budget, will consider reinstating the money.
Costello and Mark Marotta, president of the BMO Harris Bradley Center board, had been lobbying for months to convince aldermen to support some funding for the arena.
The measure to elimate the $175,000 had been sponsored by Ald. Michael Murphy. BMO Harris Bradley Center officials had hoped the $175,000 would have been paid out each year for five years.
The money would have been used for maintenance, repairs and upgrades at the 25-year-old facility.

The legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment by creating products with recycling in mind and encouraging reuse, recycling, and recovery of WEEE.
How do I know what product is "WEEE"? The definition of a WEEE product is one whose primary function is dependent on electrical currents to carry out the main function, e.g. a toaster. However, some product, such as a child's soft toy with an electric circuit, is not classed as WEEE as its primary function is a toy. For further details on product definitions, please click here.

Though I've mostly used Instagram to post photos from my daily life (you can find me under 'thelingerieaddict'), there are quite a few people taking advantage of its more artistic purposes. Here are four of my favorite accounts:

Clinical Conditions
Carcinoma in situ (CIS)
Carcinoma in situ, or CIS, is the presence of cancerous-appearing cells, proliferating in an abnormally high number, but are confined to the transitional epithelium. That is, they have not invaded into deeper tissue layers such as muscle, or even the fibrous layers separating the epithelium from the muscle. CIS represents a rather confusing stage in the development of bladder cancer. As described previously(see What Is Cancer?), cancer occurs when a tumor has the potential to invade into a different tissue layer. However, in the case of CIS, the cancerous condition has not yet penetrated beyond its normal position in the body. In general CIS tends to be a far more malignant process with greater metastatic potential than some large low grade tumors that have begun to invade through the bladder wall.
CIS is often invisible to the naked eye, although it can quite frequently be identified as a red, velvety area along the surface of the normally, pink, translucent bladder wall. It is most often diagnosed after the urologist takes random biopsies of the bladder mucosa?a procedure that may have been prompted by the discovery of cancerous cells in the urine. A diagnosis of CIS-even if detected in one area of the bladder-is considered diffuse. That is, it is assumed that the entire bladder mucosa is affected and not just the area of biopsy. This is in contradistinction to the diagnosis of a solitary bladder tumor where only the area observed is presumably involved. It is this difference that has prompted investigators to question whether CIS and the solitary tumor represent 2 completely different abnormal processes that have taken place within cells.
Invasive Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC)
Between the transitional cell layer and the muscle fibers is a layer of connective tissue and cells known as the lamina propria. The lamina propria is a landmark that is useful to help determine the aggressiveness of transitional cell tumors. As abnormal cells continue to multiply, more mutations in their genetic machinery tend to occur. Ordinarily, these mutations might be repaired, but that ability is limited in these cells. Eventually, genetic changes and further growth results in the cells' ability to destroy and penetrate the underlying lamina propria. This is the beginning of an invasive transitional cell tumor.
Superficial vs. Invsive TCC
An important distinction is the difference between "superficial" TCC and "muscle-invasive" TCC. Essentially, any tumor that has not invaded the muscle layer is considered superficial. Once the muscle layer has been breached, however, the diagnosis is muscle-invasive TCC. This distinction is critical because it predicts the natural history of these tumors. Superficial TCCa tends to recur multiply, but the recurrences are almost always superficial tumors that respond well to local resection. Only 15% of superficial tumors will transform or recur as high grade, invasive lesions. On the hand, recurrent CIS lesions or high grade/invasive tumors are much more difficult to control, and are more likely to result in metastatic spread.
Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC)
In addition to acquiring the ability to penetrate a barrier such as the lamina propria, cancer cells can eventually penetrate lymph channels(lymphatics) or blood vessels. At this point it is possible for those cancer cells to travel to other organs throughout the body, where they can be deposited and subsequently grow as metastatic sites of tumor. The most common sites that develop metastases are the local lymph nodes in the pelvis, liver, lung, bone, and adrenal glands. Indeed, any organ can be involved once cells have acquired this ability.
Non-Transitional Cell Carcinomas
Several other tumors can develop within the bladder, though in the United States they are rare compared to TCC. The second most common type in the U.S.-though in some countries such as Egypt, the most common-is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Long-term irritation of the bladder by infectious agents or foreign bodies can cause the transitional epithelium to change into a different cell type known as squamous or "flat" cells. In Egypt the most common infectious agent that provides constant irritation of the bladder leading to squamous cell carcinoma is a parasitic infection known as bilharziasis. In the U.S. the offending agent is more often chronic urinary infections, indwelling catheters or stones. It should emphasized that the change to squamous cells(a process known as "metaplasia") does not denote the development of cancer, although the risk of subsequent degeneration in squamous cell carcinoma is significantly increased.
Any of the various different cell types within the bladder can theoretically develop into cancers-muscle cells(rhabdomyosarcoma), gland cells(adenocarcinoma), nerve cells(neural cell tumors), and even immune-type cells(lymphomas). Tumors arising from adjacent organs can also invade into the bladder and appear as "bladder tumor" (e.g. cervical carcinoma or colon cancers). However, the behavior of these other tumors(and their treatment) is dependent on their site of origin.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Curator Greg Tom standing amidst "HOME SWEET HOME" by Jason J. Ferguson.
On Saturday, June 29th, I attended a guided tour of the current exhibit at MOCAD (a Knight Arts grantee), a three-man show called (IN)HABITATION, to take another pass at this intriguing collection of work. The tour was facilitated by the show's curator, Greg Tom, and the discussion of the work which followed included all three of the show's contributing artists: Jason J. Ferguson, Matt Kenyon and Osman Khan. Topics ranged from DIY-culture, the myth of Home Depot, knowing too much about The Wizard of Oz, and the ways that the work specifically spoke to the experience of Detroiters.
Tom expounding on themes in the living room from Ferguson's "Domestic Carnival" installation.
As I mentioned during the highly inclusive Q&A which followed, it struck me that this show, which centers upon the theme of domestic space of house and home—a space traditionally considered to be the realm of the female—featured work entirely made and curated by men. Tom assured me that this consideration was not lost on anyone during the process of installation, but I believe it is quite revelatory to note that this male-domestic space communicates extreme destruction and entropic decay, which progresses throughout the exhibition.
Kahn's "Come Hell Or High Water" looking rather worse for the wear after several weeks of water damage.
Indeed, Tom notes that this show is a strong embodiment of the "kinetic art" movement, which seeks not just to capture a single moment in art, but to create art that encompasses a progression. The works do indeed progress and evolve beyond their initial impressions, from Khan's "Come Hell or High Water," which has suffered from the repetitious water damage cycle to the point of needing to be partially drained for the sake of olfactory relief, to Ferguson's carnival light-chaser patterns, which are apt and intended to drive viewers slowly into a state of discomfort, to Kenyon's slow-dawning revelation of words that appear as if by magic in an oil stain on the floor.
Kenyon at work with a repeat performance of his piece, "Cloud," which produces house-shaped bubbles based on housing bubble data.
"Puddle" by Matt Kenyon features the names of various SUVs appearing and disappearing from an oil slick installed in the gallery floor, intensely site-appropriate considering the MOCAD's previous life as an auto dealership.
From left to right, MOCAD Coordinator of Public Events Greg Baise, curator Greg Tom, and artists Jason J. Ferguson, Osman Kahn and Matt Kenyon.
Kresge grant recipient Corrie Baldauf was on hand for the Q&A, and keenly observed a confluence of factors in the work, struggling between the control of trauma, the reflection of society, and the seduction of the viewer. Altogether, a dramatic and cutting-edge collection, worthy of review and greatly benefited by deeper insight into the process and inspiration of all participants. The show will be up through July 28th.

Atlanta, GA, is almost halfway to its goal of increasing energy and water efficiency by 20% by 2020. Participating facilities have achieved just over 9% in energy savings since 2011.
Atlanta is in the home stretch of its energy goal.
The bustling metro is participating in the DOE's Better Buildings Challenge, which urges member cities to increase energy and water efficiency by 20% by 2020 in commercial, multifamily, and industrial buildings. Atlanta facilities representing more than 50 million square feet have achieved just over 9% in energy savings since 2011.
Atlanta's strategies include monthly events where representatives of participating buildings can tour high-performance facilities and share best practices. City leaders also regularly organize local events to recognize participants' progress, including the inaugural "State of the Challenge" event in June, where Mayor Kasim Reed honored all participants for their progress.
The Better Buildings Challenge was launched in 2011 and includes more than 190 participating organizations covering more than 3 billion square feet. So far, the buildings have achieved an average of 2.5% in energy savings each year, representing a savings of $300 million since the program launched.
Atlanta also recently joined the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge, which aims to increase the number of employers offering workplace charging for plug-in electric vehicles tenfold in the next five years.
