VSoft Corporation, a global information and technology provider of process improvement solutions for financial institutions, announced today that Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Great Western Bank selected VSoft's branch and item capture and image processing solutions for its nearly two hundred branches.
Great Western Bank recently experienced significant growth due to several acquisitions, reaching over $9 billion in assets, and expects this number to double in the next two years. To accommodate rapid growth goals, the bank replaced its existing payments platform with VSoft's branch item capture solution, which enables branch operators to key, balance and reject/repair images at point of capture, rather than defer that work to a central operations area. The bank is also performing inclearing, and transmission of cash letters with VSoft's image exchange solution.
"As our expansion continues, we need a solution that gives us the flexibility to review images at any point," said Kirby Shroll, executive vice president of bank operations for Great Western Bank. "VSoft provides the exact technology we were looking for. Its comprehensive suite of solutions delivers the features and functionality that meet our needs, and we are confident that VSoft will better prepare us to handle increased volume with the utmost efficiency during our time of rapid growth."
Great Western Bank will also use VSoft solutions to enable image delivery through customer e-statements, CDs or by interfacing directly to home banking systems. The bank will further improve branch processing procedures by deploying VSoft's application designed to prevent duplicate items.
"VSoft solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly with an institution's current system. Allowing the bank to choose between a centralized or in-branch processing model will be a tremendous asset to Great Western Bank during its expansion," said Murthy Veeraghanta, chairman and chief executive officer, VSoft Corporation. "VSoft's branch item capture solution meets Great Western Bank's immediate needs and offers complete scalability to handle greater volumes with ease and accuracy as their growth continues."

Alamogordo Mayor Susie Galea has spent more money on travel in a six-month period than her predecessor during a window nearly three times as long.
The Alamogordo Daily News reports that new released records show that Galea spent about $5,946 between July 2012 and January 2013 on 10 trips.
Record show that during a 17-month time period in 2010 and 2011, then-mayor Ron Griggs, now a state senator, spent $3,544 on nine trips.
The expenses spring from nine trips, most of them inside the state to places like Santa Fe and Ruidoso, but three to other states such as Texas, Montana and Arizona.
Galea says her travel was for economic development or military relations.

Posted: February 11, 2010
By Ethan Mizer
I've been out on vacation for a bit, but I'm back in a blogging frame of mind.
So, that said, I noticed two interesting bits of news for those who love the aquatic world and all of its denizens.
First, the Obama Administration has come out against closing the connection between the Mississippi River Basin and Lake Michigan, as well as the navigational locks that may allow Asian carp, an invasive species in the United States, to eventually enter the Great Lakes.
Six states, namely Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, have requested that the locks be closed permanently, but the issue went to the Supreme Court, which subsequently blocked the request. The issue is being appealed, and a separate lawsuit seeks to sever the connection between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River Basin entirely.
Instead of closing the locks, the Obama Administration has proposed a nearly 80-million dollar short-term mix of solutions, including limiting the number of days the locks are open. So far, the Administration has only promised to conduct studies for the purpose of determining the viability of closing the connection between the two waterways.
The issue is complicated, because the locks in question support the business of barge operators who move large amounts of goods through the waterways each year, to the tune of millions of dollars in trade.
However, I'm convinced that less-aggressive methods of controlling invasive carp populations and preventing them from entering the great lakes – and in the process potentially destroying commercial fisheries in the great lakes – will fall short.
For example, a system of electric shock fences are in place to keep carp out, and during a recent repair effort where the gates had to be turned off for a while, poison was introduced into the waterway to "nuke" any potential invasives.
What's next? I think we're already reaching with the electric fences and poison bombs. Maybe we could genetically engineer some cyborg killer fish to hunt down the invasive carp? How about a radioactive barrier to sterilize the fish as they enter Lake Michigan?
It's only a matter of time before such half-hearted measures fail. The connection between the waterways and the lock system that may directly allow carp into the Great Lakes likely needs to be closed if the states involved and the federal government really want to prevent carp from establishing breeding populations in the Great Lakes.
This invasion may have happened already. No carp have yet been found in Lake Michigan, at least that I am aware of, but I read that some of their DNA has been found in the lake.
This is definitely a complicated issue, and perhaps a better solution will be found. I would hate to see legitimate businesses and barge operators suffer, but others stand to lose too if carp are allowed into the Great Lakes. Who wins and who loses? It's unfortunate that this has to be decided at the federal level.
Oh, I would like to point out one silver lining to the whole issue; the aquarium hobby has not been blamed for the invasive introductions. Generally, the explanation I've heard for the prevalence of carp in the Mississippi River Basin has to do with carp escaping from commercial aquaculture operations, where they are used to help clean up other fishes' waste.
It isn't anything to celebrate, but it's certainly better than the alternative.
The Whale Wars are EscalatingI don't know how many of you follow the show "Whale Wars" on Animal Planet or the controversy surrounding Japanese whaling, but I think the topic is definitely interesting to conservationists out there.
As many of you may know, the Sea Sheppard Conservation Society fields several ships to disrupt the activities of the Japanese whaling fleet conducting "research whaling" in the Southern Ocean. The Sea Sheppard conservationists use aggressive tactics, including prop fouling and stink bombs, to prevent the Japanese whaling fleet from killing whales.
Generally, I support reasoned action and diplomacy to solve environmental issues, but in some cases, this approach just doesn't seem likely to succeed. Take, for example, the grossly dishonest position taken by the Japanese government regarding their "scientific" whaling operations in the Southern Ocean.
The Japanese government claims their whaling fleet is attempting to capture and kill a quota of 1,000 whales (including minke and fin whales) each year for "research purposes." However, the Japanese use a factory whaling ship (the Nisshin Maru), the whale meat ends up in Japanese fish markets, and I'm not aware of many reputable, peer-reviewed papers coming out of this "research."
The Institute of Cetacean Research, the government-subsidized Japanese organization responsible for whaling, lists several research papers on its website, with such catchy titles as, "Improvements in More Humane Killing Methods of Antarctic Minke Whales, Balaenoptera bonaerensis, in the Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit in the Antarctic Sea (JARPA)," "Comparative Experiment of Whaling Grenades in the Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit (JARPA and JARPN)" and "Chemical Properties of Epidermal Lipids, Especially Sphingolipids, of the Antarctic Minke Whale."
To be fair, they list a few papers that may have scientific merit, but I question the need to kill whales to collect the relevant data.
When was the last time we had to kill a few hundred sea turtles in a marine sanctuary to study them? How many endangered tigers do we have to cull from the wild to ensure our understanding of their delicate status? It seems odd – and totally unjustifiable – that the Japanese government has taken the position that it is necessary to kill whales for the purpose of studying them.
And then there is the fact that in an interview with The Australian, Japan's Foreign Minister, Katsuya Okada, essentially admitted that the dispute over whaling being conducted in the Southern Ocean is a culture issue having to do with food.
In any case, the battle in the Southern Ocean is definitely becoming more violent. The Sea Sheppard Conservation Society has already lost one vessel completely this season (their new, high-tech ship, the Ady Gil, was sunk after a collision with a Japanese whaling ship), and a second ship, the Bob Barker, was damaged in a separate collision.
Neither side is backing down, and it seems each whaling season sees an introduction of new tactics and technology on both sides of the battle.
Of course, I have to wonder about the motivations behind the new, aggressive tactics being used by both sides. There is a television show mixed up in all of this, after all, and collisions, high-tech devices and sinking ships likely make for higher ratings.
Are the conservationists drawing attention to this issue for the purpose of aiding their cause, or to otherwise benefit from the media exposure? Intentions aside, their goal seems admirable, while the Japanese whaling goals seem intentionally misleading and highly suspect.

A really good documentary that i highly reccomend everyone to watch is called The Cove. It explains the Japanese whaling methods but primarily it is a film about the dolphin fishing in Japan. Not the dolphin fish - mahi-mahi - but actually air breathing mammmal dolphins. It's up for an acedemy award and it definitely deserves it. You can check out the trailers and such on YouTube if you just type in "The Cove." The people from the Sea-Shepard (Whale Wars Guys) are in the documentary too.

This is about a guy that I met on an internet dating site.He is a cop/paramedic.So far the guys that I have met were really not right at all and I think I have another bad one.We have only emailed and talked on cell phones a number of times.We decided to meetsomewhere inbetween,as we are about 2 hours from each other.I like a guy with a sense of humour,but something seems weird and I would like to know your thoughts.In his profile it says he wants a girl with a sense of humour also.He is 51 and never been married,but has a 14 year old that lives far away with the mother.He told me that she took him to court for child support and he was already paying it.They got more from him and she talks bad to the daughter about him.The conversations seem to start fine and he does joke alot.A dry sense of humour-kind of.The thing that bothers me is it alwys get into sex things.Like have you ever worn a short skirt with no panties,thong bikinisetc.I always just laugh it off and say very funny.Bit odd

Hi,

My question is do you think this is just wrong?Like
I said every conversation eventually leads to sex talk.I kind of laugh and say what or very funny.He goes about it witha dry humour,but I am scared that is what must be on his mind.Am I acting wrong to be leary of him.We were to meet and see a movie.He also told me he was out with another girl once and they made out in the car and so on.

Ms Chase
replied 7 years ago.
Honestly, I would have to say yes, it might not be what you are looking for. When you talk with a guy and he has the need to bring up a sexual conversation although the two of you have not met, it's actually a warning sign of what may be on his mind. He's been clear with you about his desires, and even told you what happened when he went out with the other girl, perhaps in expectation that the same might happen with you, or as a way of showing/telling you what he would like to happen.
Laughing it off is not enough, if you laugh about it, guys think you're being coy. Instead when a guy brings up something that makes you uncomfortable, be straight out with it, and tell him you don't think it's appropriate for him to talk like that when he really doesn't know you. this way he's clear that you're not going in that direction with him, and that he has to act more like a gentleman. Remember, we teach people how to treat us, so whenever someone does something that makes you uncomfortable or that is innapropriate you have to speak up so that they know their limitations.
With that being said, it's your decision if you want to go with him to the movies, but he's been pretty clear about what he's looking for or what he's interested in. I welcome your thoughts, let me know if you want to talk more

I really agree with you and need to speak my mind more.That is a fault of mine.As you know I have talked to you before and that one was no good either and you knew it.The guy that we are speaking of at present, also told me that the mother of his child was in the hospital ready to give birth and at that time he was seeing another girl that had no idea of this.Not a good prospect!What is wrong with me and why am I putting up with this crap?Well,anyways now that you have heard that,I want to know what you have to say.Probably, that I am having really bad luck on the net,right.If you have anything else to add HELP.I am glad that I got you again,you are smart and kind to me.Thanks,

Hi Liz,
You can always ask for me to be sure I'm the one you talk to, you just ask for me in the subject line and I'll always get back to you.
I have to agree, he's not a good prospect. :( Let me ask you a few questions ok?
When was your last serious relationship?
Do you go out? with freinds or alone? If so, where do you go?
What kind of man are you looking for? What kind of relationship?
Do you only meet men online?

I will always ask for you,as I cant thank you enough.To start with I am very lonely and so want to find a nice guy.I am 49 years old and never been married.I am a very good musician and have traveled alot.Kind of a transcient lifestyle in my 20s and 30s.Cruise ships,Summer stock theaters etc.My last serious guy I met online and it turned out that my doctor boyfriend was a toxic narsissist.That was 2 years ago.I dont have many friends and dont drink and bars are out of the question.All the guys that I have contact with are only over the net dating sites.I am looking for someone that will start as being friends first and I was hoping to find a long term relationship.I am looking for guys that are upbeat,compassionate,honest and also someone with common values.When I find someone I really like doing things for them and spending alot of time with them.Actually,I am getting JUST the OPPOSITE in the men that are persuing.My profile and pics show the real me.I would desribe them as The All American Girl kind of look.Again,Thank you soo much,

No problem Liz, you're welcome.
I personally don't see anything wrong with meeting someone online, but you have to go about it the right way. You might also consider asking friends to introduce you to nice men they know that might be single. There may also be single events in your area that you can go to that don't involve drinking. If there's nothing in your area like that, then you might want to consider starting a singles organization in your area, that does events like a wine tasting, art show or some type of music event. You may only get a few people involved at first but as time goes on it will grow, you can help others find mates and possibly yourself.
As for meeting people online, I've found that you have to follow a formula, and I'll give you an idea of what I mean.
First, take a piece of paper and write down all of the things you would like in a man, and then write down all of the things you don't want in a man. Keeping in mind that no man will be perfect or meet everything you have on your list, you can include your list of don'ts in your online profile. Something like
NOT looking for; married men, separated men, men looking for just a physical relationship, heavy drinkers, drug users. If I find you have any of these issues I will terminate communication completely.
It's just as important for a man to know what you are NOT looking for, as it is for them to know what you are looking for. Some men might email you and say, "you're too picky" or "how dare you be so picky" and you can just delete those emails.
If you have an online profile, be sure to include face pics and body pics. Do not respond to anyones ad, only respond to the men who respond to your ad. If they don't have a pic, don't talk to them until they send you one. In fact, put that in your ad "please do not email me unless you have or include a picture"
Once you see their picture, decide right then and there if you want to talk to them or not. If not you can either delete their email, or send them a not and say thank you but I'm not interested. Sometimes if you send them a note it just makes things worse, so I would just delete.
If you do see a pic of a guy who has contacted you and you want to talk to him more, then email him back but keep it short and sweet. "Hi thanks for the email, blah blah, tell me more about yourself" and then ask a couple of questions. You will be able to tell a lot about him by the way he writes, does he talk about himself? ask about you? can he put a sentence together? is he interesting to you?
If more than one guy emails you, don't feel bad about talking to more than one, as you are looking for the right guy and you are not committing to anyone at this point. (you might have to keep a log or notebook, or save emails so that you can keep up with individual nuances.
At any point you can delete anyone based on your original list. If you put on your list that you don't want a guy who is depressed or angry and you find that all this guy talks about is how much he hates his ex, send him a note letting him know its not working for you and delete him from your list. Again, delete anyone at any time, don't hold on to ones you know in your heart are no good, stay true to your list. Re-evaluate each person every couple of weeks and truly ask yourself if that person meets what you want and need, if not, delete them.
After 2-6 weeks you can make a decision to talk on the phone. IF you find that the conversation is good, he's respectful, tactful, nice, etc. When you talk on the phone with him, be sure to always be the first to get off the phone. Don't get attached just because the conversations are great. Take the time to find out what he has in life, what he wants out of life and his future. If it doesn't match what you want, then you have to consider deleting him, regardless of how nice he may be. Opposites do attract, but sometimes its not worth all of the aggravation. The older you get, the more you need someone who has things in common with you, not opposite things.
Talk on the phone for two weeks or more (preferably more) like six weeks. This added to the emails, gives you a pretty good idea of who your dealing with. If he's patient, he wont push you to meet, talk about sex or be a jerk about waiting. You'll learn a lot about him, and if after two to three months and you haven't deleted him, then it may be time to meet. When you meet, you'll want to meet in a public place for lunch. Lunch allows you to meet during the day and you can always end the lunch by saying you have a meeting (or having a friend call you in the middle to see if you need an alibi to leave). Once you meet, thats when you will know if there is 'chemistry'. You can't ever tell if there is true chemistry on the phone or the computer, this is something you can only know once you meet in person and can actually smell them (this is called pheromones) and cannot be faked, bought or denied. :)
If you stick to your original list, don't allow yourself to feel bad about deleting people who don't meet your needs, and keep an open mind, you will definitely meet someone eventually. I met my fiance online 7 yrs ago, using the same protocol. I deleted many guys before I finally met him. Some never made it past the emails, some got deleted after phone calls, and only a few made it to the dating stage and were subsequently deleted. It may sound like a science and in a way it is, but when you know what you want, you can get what you want, and you have to believe that with all of your heart.
I'm always here if you want to talk more.

Journalism was my first love, but like many passionate and steamy relationships, this one ended horribly once reality set in.
When I was a senior in high school, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. It seemed like all of my friends had their dreams figured out, probably finishing school well before the usual four years of college.
I, on the other hand, was lost. One thing I did know for certain was that I wanted to make a difference.
That same year, in my favorite and last class of the day, forensics, we had a guest speaker. He was Peter Shellem, an investigative journalist for the Patriot News, a newspaper in Harrisburg. He spoke so matter-of-factly about the police and how it was a journalist's job to ensure that those in power were held accountable for their actions.
I soon learned that he was the driving force behind the release of Steven Crawford, as well as four other people, but the Steven Crawford case is the one that interested me most.
Steven Crawford was the brother of Harrisburg mayor Linda Thompson. Thompson was a friend of my mother's, so Crawford felt like a distant relative to me. He was wrongfully accused of murdering his best friend at the age of 14. He spent 28 years in prison before he was released after evidence obtained by Shellem proved his innocence. This made me feel as though I could change the world with my pen alone. I already enjoyed writing.
They say your relationships are a reflection of your past. I agree. I felt like my relationship with journalism was getting pretty serious at this point and no longer just a crush like it was when I was younger.
At about 6 years old, my father was wrongly accused of assault while defending himself from attack by racist men at a bar. The bar was 15 minutes away from my house, across the river in Cumberland County. I remember the trial only a little bit, but I loved lunch breaks and hot chocolate from the vending machine downstairs. Court was so boring.
I also remember hearing racial slurs as we held signs in my father's defense. At this time, I knew the world wasn't as perfect as I thought.
I thought racism only existed in the days of slavery and that it was over now. I found comfort in the journalists and reporters. They were always so nice and some even took pictures of us. This was when my crush for journalism developed. They seemed to be the "good guys."
When I finally got to college at Mansfield University, I declared myself a journalism major.
I was very excited when I found out we had to write for the university's newspaper, The Flashlight. Soon I felt like I was married to journalism. But the spark had gone and I was no longer happy. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be.
I felt like stories for the newspaper had to be "dumbed down." I had become accustomed to writing for teachers and I found this other type of writing very hard and unfulfilling.
I kept trying to hold on, but there was nothing left. I won't tell you how many times I took Introduction to Journalism class and still failed.
At this point, I?have ended my relationship with journalism. It was a bad break-up.
Crane is a student in Dan Mason's class at Mansfield University.

There are several different eligibility requirements you must meet to qualify for a VA Loan. If you are not sure if you will qualify, you should speak with a mortgage broker or a VA Loan Specialist. One of the first steps toward getting a VA Loan is to complete a Certificate of Eligibility.
You may qualify for a VA Loan if you fall into one of the following categories:
Active-duty Veterans discharged during WWII or later, without the status of "dishonorable"
Active-duty Veterans with at least 90 consecutive days of service during major conflict
Peacetime Veterans and active-duty personnel with at least 180 days of consecutive service
Enlisted Veterans whose service began after 1980, or officers whose service began after 1981, and who have served at least 2 years.
National Guard and selected Reserve members may also qualify. Check your eligibility with a qualified VA Loan Specialist if you have any questions.
What Can I Do with a VA Loan?
You can use your VA Loan to purchase a house, condominium, or townhouse. You can also build a home, make energy-efficient home improvements, or refinance your mortgage.
Why Would I Want A VA Loan?
There are several reasons why a VA Loan may be preferable to a standard loan. Most importantly, if you qualify, you may obtain a VA Loan even if you did not qualify for other loans. There may be no down payment required for a VA Loan, depending on the lender. VA Loans often have lower interest rates than conventional loans, and many times you can negotiate the interest rate with the lender. There are no mortgage insurance premiums on VA Loans, and assumable mortgages are permitted. Closing costs ARE lower than other forms of "Civilain" financing, and there is no penalty for prepaying your mortgage. In addition, VA assistance due to temporary financial difficulty is available to those who qualify.

Grandma's Old-Fashioned Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
Remember those cookies grandma used to make? These old-fashioned oatmeal-raisin cookies — which could have been ripped from the pages of her favorite cookbook — will strike a chord with kids of all ages.
Yield: About 2 dozen.
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups uncooked old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup raisins
In a bowl, cream the butter, gradually adding the sugars, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until uniformly blended. Stir in the oats and raisins. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease two large cookie sheets. Using mounded tablespoonfuls of dough, make balls of dough almost 2 inches in diameter and lay them onto the sheets, leaving plenty of room for them to spread. Bake for about 22 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature.

Fifth annual Pymatuning cleanup
A recent cleanup of the Pennsylvania Pymatuning shoreline by local high school students was encouraging.
"The students from the new Conneaut Area Senior High School did a lot of work and were encouraged because there wasn't as much trash as there was in past years," Brian Pilarcik, of the Crawford County Conservation District, said. "We had 35 students and for many of them this was their third or fourth year participating in the cleanup.
Many of them commented about the lack of trash and believe their efforts are helping in keeping this great resource beautiful."
Two teachers from the high school, Gene Bacon and Pat Gould, also participated with the students.
"The students did all the work; we just sort of supervised," Pilarcik said. "In past years, we hauled out old televisions sets and refrigerators that people had hidden in out-of-the-way spots. This year we had the nuisance stuff like old pop and beer cans and fishing equipment. But I think our efforts at keeping the shoreline clean are beginning to payoff. This was our fifth annual shoreline cleanup and the cleanest we have ever seen it."
This year's fall cleanup was held on Nov. 14. According to Pilarcik, a spring cleanup will by sponsored by Pymatuning State Park.
The clean-up effort is one of several efforts sponsored by the Conservation District which appear to be making a difference.
"Overall, we have had a successful year at the district," Pilarcik said. "We have seen new faces at many of our educational programs held at the Woodcock Nature Center. Hopefully, the trend continues next year."
Most of the weekly educational program, which are free and open to the public, have been filled to capacity. The programs are funded in large part by the annual tree seedling sale held in April.
"The sale is an important fundraiser for us and we should have more information on the seedlings available this month," Pilarcik said.
One of the popular programs is centered around bats and bat houses.
"The bats here seem to be doing just fine despite the white-nose syndrome which has been fatal to thousands of bats in Pennsylvania," Pilarcik said. "We always have a capacity crowd for the bat programs.
I have several bat houses at my house and we counted over a hundred bats one evening before it got too dark to count any more."
Many of the programs will take place again in 2013, according to Pilarcik, and there will be some new additions.
"For one, we are planning on a water quality-monitoring workshop sometime in the spring," he said. "We had one last year which was very well attended."
For more information and updates, including the weekly educational programs, visit the Crawford County Conservation District's Web page at www.crawfordconservation.com.

With all due respect to the smokers out there, bartender Kyle Colter has no urge to return to the barroom ambiance of old.
You know: Puffs of smoke in his face, blue haze in the air, the smell of smoke permeating his clothing and hair each night as he departed the Meanwhile Bar in Grand Rapids.
"It's kind of amazing to think that at one time this was one of the smokiest bars in town. It was horrible," said Colter, 27, a non-smoker who feels like he can breathe deep again on the job.
"The biggest thing for me is just the quality of air in here."
A year after the ban on smoking in Michigan bars took effect, Colter said the bar is "just as busy. We have a lot of people who come in now and said they didn't come in before when this was a smoky bar."
A study by the Michigan Department of Community Health confirms Colter's sense of wellbeing since the ban took effect May 1, 2010. It found a significant decrease in two compounds that are markers for second-hand smoke exposure and "significant decreases" in allergy symptoms, shortness of breath and morning coughs.
The study was conducted among 40 bar employees in the following counties: Benzie, Berrien, Genesee, Ingham, Leelanau, Marquette, Menominee, Muskegon, Emmet, Ottawa, St. Clair, and Wayne.
Michigan was 38th state to ban smoking in restaurants and bars. The ban extends to outdoor areas where food or beverages are served or permitted, such as patios, decks and rooftops.
Founders in Grand Rapids has been smoke-free it relocated to 235 Grandville SW in 2007, a change bartender Alisha Avila welcomed before the ban took effect. Avila, 29, recalled what it was like in the former Founders location where smoking was allowed.
"It was just so overwhelming," Avila said. "People would just aim (smoke) right at you."
Avila considers the law "a good idea" though she said some customers continue to push back against the prohibition.
"We get a lot of grief from some people. Sometimes it's because they are from out of state and they are oblivious about the law."
But Avila said if someone tries to sneak a cigarette, the bar's clientele is its own policing agent.
"Everyone will turn around and try to find the guy. It's just so obvious," she said.
Not every bartender sings the praises of the ban.
At Mulligan's Pub in Grand Rapids, bartender Andrew Shelp laments a loss of business - and personal freedom.
"We were definitely busier before," said Shelp, 35. "Our happy hours are half what they used to be. People stay longer when they can smoke. Winter was horrible. Regulars are still complaining about having to go outside."
Shelp, a non-smoker before the ban took effect, said smoke in the bar "never bothered me."
Ironically, Shelp said the ban prompted him to take up smoking again for several months. He recently quit, again.
"It's still an individual right and freedom. I don't like the idea of taking away people's liberties and freedoms."
Standing outside the Meanwhile bar with cigarette in hand, Grand Rapids resident Jenny Lasko, 29, admits to occasional longings for those freedoms.
"I kind of miss having a beer in hand with a cigarette," she said.
But she wouldn't go back.
"To have to come outside and separate the bar habitat from the climate inside is a positive thing. It's gross and it smells bad. Having an ash tray next to your French fries is gross."
"As a smoker I appreciate it."

With every 98-m.p.h. Jake Diekman fastball, the Phillies want to believe in the process. They see a young lefthanded reliever harnessing the sort of talent Michael Young described as "unfair" after a batting practice session during spring training. They see a pitcher unafraid to throw strikes; an arm that could emerge from the muck of a lost season.
This is what a spectacular 10 days will do for a Phillies reliever. Diekman is thriving in a zero-pressure environment. If he fails, there is no demotion to follow because the games are meaningless and Diekman represents a glimmer of something. It masks reality: The Phillies have developed just two quality relievers - Ryan Madson and Antonio Bastardo - in the last decade.

Hope to see you all there for some memories that will last a life time!
I volunteered to do some work for the Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary because I was so impressed at how amazing and selfless everyone was. They truly want what is best for their animals and any other animals they get phone calls over. To do my work I needed to learn about everything- the habitat, the people and all the animals individually.
I was like everyone else at first – the tigers are beautiful! The tigers, lions and liger all behave like my cats in some ways. They look snuggly and everyone I talk to wants to pet one…it seems so simple, but petting tigers or lions is not a safe thing.
Don't get me wrong, these animals can be sweet and they all have their own distinct personality, but underneath the beauty and the personality they are what they have always been, predators. They are built like predators, so even if they are just playing with you their claws and their teeth can do considerable damage. It doesn't have to be intentional. When tigers play with each other they can bite and claw their pals and nothing happens, but humans are not built the same.
I will tell you right now that the Big Cat Habitat is not going to risk you getting hurt just to pet a tiger. There are very few staff members that go in with tigers and lions and those that do have trained tigers for a decade or more. They know tigers so well they actually think like them. More importantly, the big cats trust them. The support staff that feed and care for the tigers also have a close relationship with them, but they are not reaching their hands in and petting them. It just is not worth the risk.
Kay, her son Clayton and the entire staff are always talking about respecting the cats. As I said above, the cats know the people that take care of them, but they don't know visitors. It would make them very uncomfortable to have random people touching them all time. People don't like having people they don't know come up and touch them; neither do the cats.
As beautiful as they are, it is important to keep in mind that they were created to be predators and that is what they are. They do not have to attack you to hurt you. Tigers are just too dangerous to play with. On the other hand, being able to look into their eyes is a rewarding experience and one I value deeply. If you have not had the chance to look a tiger, lion or liger in the eye I encourage you to visit the Big Cat Habitat or a safe and animal loving habitat in your local area.
Summer camps, you can call us and schedule a time to have your summer camp kids come by and see the animals. If you are interested please call us at 941-371-6377. Our rates are very affordable!

I had a blast! Although I didn't get much time in at the BJ tables, I've been working on my craps skills and it also didn't help that the people I was with almost exclusively play craps
The BJ was ok I guess for the low limit tables, standard 6D DOA nRSA. There was some decent DD for $25 and $50 min.
90% of my play was at the craps table and I went on a few 5+ point rolls in one session (VERY long session, I did see the box man on the phone a few times while I was rolling ). Too bad I didn't lay down a chip or two on the fire bet
Also, we stayed in one casino and didn't really venture out (the people I was with didn't care about seeing what else was out there)
EDIT: I forgot to mention that a dealer continuously told me the entire time I stayed that I didn't know how to play BJ for doubling A8 vs 6 (not to mention I won the hand ).
Every time this particular dealer saw my face they said "You just got lucky and don't know how to play BJ"

You are in school so you should understand this. Do some hand calculations using the formulas in the books that generate indices as well as sidecount adjustments. A great understanding of the mechanics of the theory behind the counting is difficult to achieve simply by reading. Pay attention to what is happening as you do this. You will increase your understanding at least tenfold. Experience at the tables is equally important. I have seen people who made the grade make comments that indicate they were lucky to have survived. Robot following of the formula of counting will work if you are accurate but the added understanding of what is really going on will add to your potential bankroll growth. You can learn as much here as with a trainer. A trainer has a much easier job making you excellent if he doesn't have to fight the lack of nuts and bolts experience.

Sure. See MSDN with an appropriate search term. Registry additions, deletions, and modifications are a very common thing. The paths to the contents are very file-system-like. As a matter of fact, the registry is really just a set of files (a single file in older versions).

Busted: 13 Of The Most Entertaining Celebrity Mugshots
Tisk, tisk, these naughty celebrities. Everyone has had some wild times that could have ended in a visit by the po-po, but these celebrities weren't able to wiggle their way out of those compromising positions.

Laying Hands On People Is Not Good For Business: Celebrities Charged With Assault-Related Crimes
There is nothing that can hurt a person's career quite like an assault charge, or even an allegation. It doesn't give them street credit but rather a case that can lead to high fines, probation and even jail time. Here's a look at 10 celebrities who have been charged or accused of assault-related crimes.
Flavor Flav Strikes Plea Deal In Domestic Violence Case
Former rapper and reality TV star William "Flavor Flav" Drayton entered a plea deal regarding a 2012 domestic violence incident involving his longtime girlfriend's 17-year-old son, theGrio reports.
According to Fox 5 Vegas, 55-year-old Drayton is accused of chasing and threatening to kill the teenager with a butcher knife following an October 2012 argument with the boy's mother over infidelity. Things are believed to have gone awry after the teen tried to intervene in their dispute. Drayton initially denied chasing the teen with a knife, says investigators.
The troubled hip hop icon was set to face felony assault and child endangerment with a weapon charges in court on Apr. 28. While the charges collectively carry a maximum 12-year prison sentence, Drayton entered a guilty plea to the charges earlier today. According to the terms of his plea deal, Drayton faces one year in prison if he fails to complete a required series of counseling sessions prior to his next court date.
He is scheduled to appear back in court on Aug. 18.
Lost And Found: DeVante Swing Pops Up On Instagram, Has Emotional Meeting With The Jackson 5
It's time for a celebration; the prodigal member of Jodeci has resurfaced!
Last night, @madamenoiredotcom kept being mentioned in a video on Instagram and when we finally clicked to see what all the fuss was about we got a pleasant surprise. There in picture and video form was record producer Donald Earle DeGrate, also known as Jodeci's Devante Swing, hanging out with The Jackson 5 and Flavor Flav.
Posted by @forever_devante, the person behind the IG fan page wrote:
"DeVante Gave Us permission to post other exclusive footage!!! . .. . .. . .. Thank you DeVante!! DeVante always wanted to work with the Jackson's Last night was Surreal"
In a second video, you can see DeVante grinning like a little child whose dream has finally come true. And by all accounts it just has. We're just happy to see the talented producer out and about and doing well. In the past few years we've seen Jodeci attempt to reunite without the 44-year-old singer/song-writer who used to be everyone's favorite group member back in the day. If he can bang out a hit for The Jacksons maybe he's on his way to being a major force in music again. What do you think?
Check out another video of the DeVante-Jacksons reunion on the next page.

You Win Some, You Lose Some: Celebrities Who Made Bad Investments
Talent and drive might get a lot of these celebrities far, but does that translate into business? Sometimes, it doesn't. From closed-down restaurants and nightclubs to clothing lines that flopped, our favorite celebrities might be masterminds behind the mic and on the big screen, but not as talented in the business world.
Although these celebrities didn't go bankrupt from their failed businesses and investments like these bankrupt celebs, their bad investments cost in the millions. Here are a few celebrities whose investments might have been a bad business choice.

Time Runs Out For Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs
Flavor Flav was trying to hold on as long as possible to his last remaining Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs, but the restaurant has served its last six piece. TMZ says the fast food restaurant in Sterling Heights, MI, has been evicted, following a high-profile battle with its landlord.
Back in June, Flav's Chicken was first evicted when the landlord claimed Flav's business partners had not been paying the rent. The business partners however got extra time by filing a Motion to Stay the eviction and re-opened.
"The Motion to Stay was granted on the condition Flav's business partners and the landlord came to an agreement regarding past rent — but that never happened … so on Thursday, the Motion to Stay was officially denied," reports TMZ.
Earlier this week, employees were seen loading items from the restaurant in to U-Haul trucks while the police watched.
This location was the last Flav's Fried Chicken eatery in the country. Locations in Vegas and Iowa have already closed.
But Flavor Flav didn't seem too upset over the closing. A rep for Flav told TMZ that the old school rapper-turned-reality star didn't have anything to say about the eviction, that Flav leaves the day-to-day operations of the restaurant up to his partners. No comment from the partners.
"We Didn't Give A Damn About Flav": Shay "Buckeey" Johnson Talks Faking Her Feelings For Flavor Flav, And Trust Issues Caused By Lil Scrappy
If you've been engulfed in the foolery that is reality TV over the past few years (and we're guilty of course of falling in the trap too), then I'm sure you know a lot about Shay "Buckeey" Johnson. She was introduced to us as one of many thirsty women vying for the "love" and attention of Flavor Flav on one of Vh1's biggest reality shows, Flavor of Love 2. And since then, she's found her way back on the reality TV scene by finding herself in a torrid love triangle with rapper Lil Scrappy and his on-again, off-again lady, Erica Dixon. In an interview with TheJasmineBrand, Johnson opened up about her time on Flavor of Love, where she admits to not really being into him at all, and how her up and down friendship/cuddle buddy/boo-ship with Scrappy has affected her. Here are the tidbits that had us talking:
About Her Time On Flavor of Love 2
"It was a show and when I was on the show Flavor Of Love, I was trying to win the title as the winner. Because we were told during the taping that the longer you're on the show the more relevant you will be. So we didn't give a damn about Flav. 'Flav you're cool peoples,' but it wasn't about that. It was a show and I'm a very competitive person and I was trying to win the title. That's it. Not him."
On The Relationship That Went To Hell With Lil Scrappy And How That Affected Her
"The way Scrappy did me, he did find a way to cause a lot of trust issues within me – and that's on me. So I'm not too quick to jump into relationships at this point. But there is a little somebody that I kinda been seeing but I'm not willing to move fast. You just never know where it will go. I'm not going to mention his name but there is someone."
On How Those Trust Issues Are Keeping Her From Jumping Back Into Dating
"Let me tell you what I like. I like tall men. I like articulate, intelligent men. I like men who don't like to go out SO much. I don't want to rush anything because I have trust issues because it's unfair to bring my past into my future. But that's exactly what I'm doing because I don't trust anybody. From friends to cousin, manager…the relationship-wise, when you've been hurt by somebody you've put all of your trust into, it's not easy to jump into something else. I'm either in or I'm out. I don't half-step anything. I love and I love extremely hard and I don't think anything is wrong with that, it's just about finding somebody compatible with me."
And What Her Thoughts Are On Erica Dixon, Who She Recently Had A Fight With
"I don't hate her. I don't know her. I don't choose to know her at all. I think that she's ignorant in certain situations, but that's just who she is. But I don't hate her at all – my life goes on."
Well there you have it. From the video interview, Erica definitely seems to be a very smart young lady, just not when it comes with messing with folks like Scrappy. But then again, who hasn't been there when they've been in love? What do you think of her comments?
No Money, More Problems: Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs Facing Eviction
Now that his popular reality show, Flavor of Love, is nothing more than a distant memory, former Public Enemy hype man, Flavor Flav has been putting his entrepreneurial skills to work, opening three Flavor Flav's Chicken & Ribs restaurants in Iowa, Las Vegas and Michigan. While opening the food chain seemed like a great look for Flav, something went terribly wrong because both his Las Vegas and his Iowa locations have been closed within the last three years. Now, it appears that his Michigan location may be shutting down soon as well.
According to TMZ, the landlord of the Sterling Heights, MI restaurant has filed eviction papers against the reality star's food franchise, claiming that rent hasn't been paid in full by the restaurant's owner's since it opened back in 2012. Court documents reveal that the landlord is asking for $25,000 in unpaid rent, late fees and damages or Flav has to get his chicken, ribs and get to stepping. The landlord says that back in September and October, FFC&R were late with their $3,500 per month rent payments and failed to pay anything for the month of November.
The landlord is also claiming that he warned Flav about his failure to make payment back in January and now he's hoping that a judge will honor his decision to evict Flav if in fact he's unable to cough up the owed amount. TMZ reached out to Flav regarding the situation and surprisingly, he claims that he didn't know anything about it.
"I'm gonna figure out what's going on and get to the bottom of this ASAP!"
Yike Flave! Maybe that money he's getting from appearing on VH1's Couple's Therapy could help him save his restaurant.

First Look: Flavor Flav Sheds Tears And Chingy Talks Impregnating Another Woman On VH1's Couple's Therapy
Get More:
Couples Therapy
On Wednesday night, the third season of "Couple's Therapy" will debut on VH1, and according to resident therapist Dr. Jenn Berman this will be the most difficult group of estranged lovers to appear on the show yet. Looking at the cast lineup it's not hard to see why. This go 'round Dr. Berman will be helping "Teen Mom" couple Caitlin Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis and Abby Wilson, Flavor Flav and his lady Elizabeth Trujillo, Chingy and his actress girlfriend Temple Poteat, and "The Real World: Las Vegas" alums Dustin Zito & Heather Marter.
From the five minute super trailer, it doesn't take long to see Flavor Flav is the most unstable creature on this season of "Couple's Therapy," and similarly to Doug Hutchison and Courtney Stodden's appearance on season 2 of the show, the other cast members are questioning whether he should be there or not, calling his behavior disruptive to the overall purpose of them being there. But tears don't lie, and from the emotional outpourings he and Elizabeth had, it's clear to see they need some form of help that Dr. Berman can hopefully provide.
We also learn a little more about what Chingy's been up to over the past few years — particularly impregnating a random woman while he and his girlfriend were on a break (in his mind) — and why five years in, Temple is demanding to know where their relationship is going. "Teen Mom" duo Caitlin and Tyler also shed more than a few tears trying to figure out if marriage is really in the future for the very young couple.
Check out the supertrailer for the new season in the video above. The show premieres Wednesday, June 12 at 10pm on VH1. Will you watch?

Zelda TP is the greatest game ever
From what Ive read it is very similar to to Stadium and Collosal where it restricts you 2 the arena. The main difference will be online play and you using your ds to transfer pokemon to the Wii game from the new ds pokemon games, diamond and pearl. Also the ds will be used as a controller, and the only thing the Wiimote does in the game is browse and select things from the menu's basically.
A little behind on the pokemon time lol
