I bought a Sears Die-Hard Gold battery($94) in 3/2007 and it died last week and i had to buy another battery at WalMart.I put the WalMart battery in my car and it started again.
I brought the dead battery to Sears and asked for a replacement as promised in their 5 years warranty, they refused it and they recharged the dead battery and told me to take it home forget about the warranty!. I angrily left the battery at the store.
I think they are really *** because nobody can revive a dead battery!This is a second time in 5 years i have trouble with Sears Die-Hard battery!.

I bought a marine battery less than a year ago, tried to have it replaced because it is bad, sears in this area does not deal with batteries. Kmart here does, but will not warranty it because i don't have the receipt from them. Even though he looked up the date code and said it is within the warranty period. I called the customer service number, they said the same thing. I asked him where else i would have bought it, he said he understands they are the only dealers, but if its not in the computer, too bad. I will go back to interstate or even napa batteries from now on. At least they will exchange them anywhere in the country. It looks like kmart and sears both are going down hill fast. Craftsmen tools don't need a receipt, just take one in and exchange it.0 0 Reply

I had a really hblriore time finding a good nursing bra. For my first two babies I bought a Playtex nursing bra and hated it. It made me look really frumpy and it was uncomfortable. I ended up wearing one of my regular underwire bras and pulled the strap down when I nursed. Throughout the pregnancy I went from a C to a DD so, for me, I preferred underwire.With my third baby I found a REALLY great bra on eBay. It is an underwire by Wacoal and was half the price. They come in light pink or blue. I even wore them for several months after I quit nursing because I would forget it was a nursing bra. They are also really well constructed in that the part of the bra close to your body is like a regular cup w/a hole in the middle. The outer piece looks like a regular bra. It also gave me more of a normal look than the weird look I seemed to get from other nursing bras that I found locally.These are half the price that you would find them for in the store, if you can find them in the stores close to you at all.If you want, or can go with, an underwire these are the best!Oh yeah, for this bra you may want to wait until you start regularly nursing to decide on what size to get. You may very well get larger. If a store somewhere close by has Wacoal bras then you could go try a similar non-nursing style on to figure out what size to get on eBay.0 0 Reply

First for everything? Sears charged me $19.99 to install battery that was covered under warranty. I have never ever paid to have warranty battery installed. This was my 3rd Sears battery that failed. Clerk told me I would only be charged one time. Others waiting in line so did not pursue at the time? I have talked to others who told me they did not pay to have pay for instalation.0 0 Reply

I had bought a alternator and battery from sears less then 2 years ago. I had to bring the car back around 7 months ago to get the alternator replaced again because the bearing was making a squeezing sound. So they replaced that, i went back to sears today to get another alternator because this one broke. So I asked about the warrenty. EVERYONE there said the alternator has a lifetime warrenty but the labor was only covered for 6 months . So the total cost of labor was 90 bucks. I then asked if I can take he new alternator home and replace it my self because it's quite easy and I didn't want to play for labor, try then said no u can either pay for US to put it in or go buy a new one yourself for 250 bucks. So I asked quite a few workers about me bringing it home. One said yes one said no one had to think about it.... Then the manager said you know what, you Alternator is no longer lifetime warranty it's only good for 2 YEARS. So long story short I ended up paying for then to put it in and my warrenty ends in a few months..... Because I asked to many questions0 0 Reply

Sears warranty is useless. We bought an extended warranty for over $1000 on all of our appliances. We've had problems with our dishwasher for 5 months now. 4 service calls, 5 parts replaced, and they REFUSE to replace the piece of ***. It is unfixable, yet they say they cannot replace it because they do not have the "authorization" to replace it. When asked who does, they all point to someone else, and yet they all say the same thing. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY ANYTHING FROM SEARS AND WILL SPREAD THE WORD EVERYWHERE I CAN ABOUT HOW AWFUL THIS COMPANY IS.0 0 Reply

Went to sears for a Die hard battery. Asked for gold sears die hard, on sale. Was sold a cheaper die hard with low warranty. Same price. Young kid didn't know what he was doing. Left hold down bracket off, threw it away. Had him get & install. But, failed to check again. He just set it on top of battery.
They checked car charge system - good.
Within 3 mo's had to call AAA twice. Took
Back to sears, they said no problem. Charged & gave back charging me $15.00 again.
I have used die hard batteries for many years. No longer, sears auto center Indiana - Rude, Lie, Don't know what they are doing.
Charging for what didn't need. Not giving me what I asked for, but over charging me for the better battery.
Installed a cheaper smaller batt. Works fine.
Needed some other items from Sears that night. They lost a $300.00 sale that night.
Will go other places to get what I need from now on. Sears Service Sucks.

Bought a battery at sears with the 5yr diehard warranty 2.5yrs ago. Battery died the other day. Got the car jumped- brought it to Sears where they told me there was nothing wrong with the battery!!
They then tried to convince me that I had left a light on in the car and drained it (I absolutely did not I always check) and talked down to me because I was a woman in a minivan with a dead battery. Oh I was so mad!
I left there with the car running but without the new battery. Needless to say I was PISSED when the car didn't start AGAIN the next day! Called AAA auto, they came out, did a diagnostic on the battery, checked to see if I was losing battery life through the alternator or elsewhere (I was not) and gave me a printout showing that the battery was bad.
Needless to say my new battery is NOT from Sears. Seriously incompetent and rude. I don't care that I still have a few years on the warranty- after how they treated me the other day I am not stepping foot in Sears Auto again.

If he replaced the battery with one from another store and it's working fine, then he was right, the battery wasn't working. Sears should have done what it takes to make him happy.0 0 Reply

My 'Die Hard' died with 36 months left on a 100 month warranty. Took it to Sears and because it showed 12 volts, they said it was a good battery. They didn't perform a load test, otherwise would have found how wrong they were. While waiting for them to prounounce my battery well and good, I heard their employees tell three different people on the phone that while checking the cars they dropped off for service, the Sears mechanics 'found something... which was going to result in more repairs than anticipated.' Hmmm.. doesn't this sound familiar?
Anyway, even with the original receipt, Sears refused to pro-rate the battery, and said I would have to bring the vehicle in for complete inspection. I know enough about cars to know that all I needed was a new battery.
So, I let Sears keep their money and am giving them free adverstising in return. Oh, by the way, I put a new Napa battery in the truck and it's worked perfectly ever since.
Don't go to Sears for auto work unless you feel like throwing money down the toilet!

Had a Die Hard Gold die after 2 1/2 years. Drove into Sears. They looked up the purchase on the computer...no receipt was necessary. Found it, checked the battery, found it dead and replaced it at no charge within 20 minutes. Not sure what people are doing, but I've been using them for years and normally do what it says they will within the gauranty. Good luck...just follow the yellow brick road and you'll get there.0 0 Reply

no need to test the alternator, they test the battery off the car. They just told me my six month old battery was no good and they would not honor the warranty because I didn't buy it. It came with the used car I bought.0 0 Reply

The question is did somebody clearly point out to the customer that Sears wants to check things like the alternator for the warranty to be honored.
Granted,a bad alternator can cause a battery to die but is Sears using that premise as a get out of jail free card or did somebody neglect/misrepresent the fact that they want you to bring the car in when selling the battery.

Joe Arpaio Blathers Stupidly About Child Refugees, while Dennis Gilman Educates in Mini-Documentary
What does an aged blowhard like Sheriff Joe Arpaio know about the humanitarian crisis involving thousands of children from Central America crossing the border into the United States?
Not a damn thing. Arpaio proved this categorically on the conservative site Newsmax TV in a recent interview with washed-up former Republican congressman J.D. Hayworth, where the "shurf" spouted a bunch of mishegas.
"First of all, the executive order, if you recall, on the DREAM Act?" grumbles Joe. "They get a pass. Well, who do you think is coming into the country? All the people who qualify for the DREAM Act. I don't know if anybody realizes that."
First up, Joe, the DREAM Act is just a proposal, one that has yet to pass both Houses of the U.S. Congress.Gilman outdoes himself, and the rest of the local news media, with this mini-doc on some of the folks crossing the border

What Arpaio's talking about is DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, created by the Obama administration in 2012.
As the name implies, the program defers deportation proceedings against immigrant kids who meet certain requirements, requirements that happen to exclude children who have been crossing the border in the current crisis.
For instance, a DACA-applicant must, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, "have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time," and have been "physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making [a] request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS."
Which of the children Arpaio's speaking of meet these requirements?
Much less the requirement that they be:
"...currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States."
If you guessed "none," you are officially smarter than just about all of the idgits commenting on the conservative site Breitbart.com, where this clip was posted.
Arpaio goes on to offer this cockamamie conspiracy theory that the Obama administration engineered this crisis on purpose in order to push immigration reform.
Remember, this is a guy whose agency is hopelessly corrupt, and is currently under the court order of a federal judge.
Not that this matters to the wingnuts, who are about as froth-mouthed and delusional as the moonbots who believed that 9/11 was an inside job.
If you want an accurate explanation of what's going on with these kids, I urge you to watch Phoenix videographer Dennis Gilman's recently-posted mini-documentary on the subject.
Gilman combines original reporting and research to produce a cogent, non-hysterical video. At eight minutes, it may be a little long for some with short-attention spans. But it's worth every second.
Various local media outlets have hyped this story mercilessly, spreading misinformation and incendiary rumors in the process.
Gilman's report, with its interviews at the Phoenix Greyhound station, where large groups of immigrants were being dropped off for a while, serves as a nice antidote to the irresponsible efforts of some Sand Land journos.

Completing the Square is a technique used to solve quadratic equations, graph quadratic functions, and evaluate integrals. This technique can be used when factoring a quadratic equation does not work or to find irrational and complex roots. Completing the Square converts a quadratic polynomial that is not a perfect square to a perfect square polynomial plus a constant. For example, can be converted to . To solve for the quadratic equation, , complete the square by taking half the coefficient of x in the quadratic and adding its square , or from our example, .

Fast food workers reveal the menu items you should dodge
- From: news.com.au
- October 07, 2013
WERE you thinking about fast food for dinner tonight?
You might think again after reading confessions from fast food workers who wouldn't dare to eat the food they serve up to customers every day.
A recent Reddit thread asked "what item on the menu would you absolutely not eat and why?" The responses range from the obvious (fried food is full of calories) to the downright disgusting (looking at you, festering crab meat).
"I would never order the fish burger or the vegie burger. Not many people ordered them so if you did there was a good chance that you got a patty that had been sitting there for well over an hour. The patties took quite a while to deep fry so they quite often had one ready to go in the warmer, just in case.
"Whilst working there though, I used to love eating them when I could make one fresh for myself.
"I should also add that there was always a massive tub of tartare sauce for the fish burgers but not people ordering them. Did you know tartare sauce goes kinda translucent and yellowish after a while?" - reddit user Bangersss
"Filet o Fishes are the biggest scam, you get the same bun as a cheeseburger, tiny amount of dirt cheap sauce, cheap deep fried fish square and you don't even get a full slice of cheese." - reddit user Mortaris
"Big Macs are an even bigger rip off. Same amount of meat as a double cheeseburger, one less slice of cheese than a double cheeseburger. And three times as expensive as a double cheeseburger. And for what? A little lettuce, different sauce and a middle bun? Just ask for a double cheeseburger made like a Mac." - reddit user iBuzzKill
"There were two things I would not be caught dead with: 1. Filet-o-fish, on the box of frozen patties the ingredients say "pollock and/or other fish" I have no idea what "other fish" could be. 2. Any of the juices. On a particularly slow evening i decided to clean the nozzles. They were absolutely covered with mold. Oh and we only got the machine about 6 months before. As far as I know, the one previous was NEVER cleaned." - reddit user LodoreAdove
"I work at a Mexican restaurant that has a happy hour that includes a completely free "nacho bar." It has pans of queso, ground beef, refried beans, salsa, and chips. Sounds like a dream come true, and it would be, but I will never ever eat off that thing. This isn't because of anything the restaurant does. The food quality is excellent and fresh and the bar is kept clean, but I have seen customers put their fingers in it, cough all over it, I've even seen a grown lady EATING BEEF RIGHT OFF THE LADLE. I'm sure this goes for most places with self-serve buffets, but this experience has just scarred me from anything like that." - reddit user brinyfaceho
"I worked at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Our "special" is a spicy pasta dish called the Vesuvius. The sauce is made by mashing together the unused chicken, pork, and beef from the previous 6-7 days. And the vesuvius sauce is allowed to remain for up to a week without being thrown out. So theoretically, you could be eating a pasta dish with 14-day-old meat. But hey, at least you get free ice cream." - reddit user koma0029
"Cold cut combo: literally smells like ass out of the package. Tuna: way too much f***in mayo. More like cream of tuna soup. Meatballs: if its a slow restaurant, I guarantee those are from yesterday. Subway." - reddit user john92t
"Only thing that really disgusted me was the crab meat. It was made by taking imitation crab meat and mixing it in with a giant tub of mayo. When making the sandwich the thing would come out slathered in mayo and then the few people that did order it would ask for more mayo to put on top of it. People would also do this with the tuna sub. Might as well just have ordered a mayonnaise sandwich." - reddit user statisticalhornist
"I used to work in a restaurant where we had a lunch special of chowder in a bread bowl and a salad. Now, the chowder has so much fat in it that it is a solid at room temp. Talking about 1,500 calories for the bowl. But everyday women would ask for 'light dressing'. Lady, the dressing is not the problem with your meal." - reddit user Khokhmah
But for every negative piece of advice, there's a fast food worker who stands up for their employer. Here's one from Macca's.
"I worked at McDonald's and found a bee in a salad I was making. It was unsure whether the bug was in one of the bags of ingredients but for safety we threw out all bags of ingredients that were used for the salad because we didn't know which one it came from. Oh and we threw out the other salads that was made from the safe stuff even though there wasn't anything in them." - reddit user Train0Thought

I am writing this in regards to my stay at Casa Paz Y Amour, located at 9100 Luna Del Oro Albuquerque, NM 87111. I booked my stay for July 14 to July 26, 2013 and I've truly enjoyed it here. The house is spacious with many different patios for all to enjoy. All the rooms have plenty of space to relax and sleep comfortably. The host, Dr. Lopez is very friendly, gracious and accommodating. She truly makes one feel welcomed. The backyard has several different seating; relaxing arrangements from hammocks to a Jacuzzi. The trees also provide shade if one wants to sit on the grass. The house is a true gem with beautiful architecture and artwork. It's definitely a great place to stay in Albuquerque.
I had arranged to rent the entire house and filled each room with family and friends so that we can stay together without the worry of strangers since some of us had little ones. I did just that however we didn't pay for the living room and when guest had to move from the converted garage due to cooling and electricity issues to sleep in the living room we were reprimanded and said we did not pay for the living room so no one could sleep there. (that was a little unsettling for me since I had arranged for the entire house-no one else was going to sleep there and considering the circumstances it should not have been an issue) The cleanliness of the house was not up to our standards but with a house of this size and there being something literally everywhere it would be hard to keep clean. The "casita" was a disappointment to say the least. It just was hard to enjoy ourselves with the home owner/manager living on site walking through the premises what seemed to me looking for something to point out to us that was not "right". We had guest feel so uncomfortable they left and stayed someplace else the second night. The pictures are not accurate and there are tons of "art" all over the place and by "art" I mean religious pagan idols. All in all we would not stay here again. I am so disappointed in this rental coming off an amazing experience this summer from another vacation rental.
The House of Peace and Love truly lives up to its name. Suzanne is a remarkable woman and make you feel absolutely welcome and cared for. The entire place evokes warm, southwestern hospitality - and spirituality, sophisticated yet so comfortable. Plus the surrounding locale is truly lovely as well, striking and magnificent. My only regret is not staying twice as long!
my nieces and nephews stayed here for a long holiday weekend. They said it was perfect for their crowd, comfortable, convenient. The hosts were fabulous
Spent a week at the house of "peace and love". Was told by the owner that we would be the only party at the house for that week. Three days in we had to move 2 people out of one bedroom because she has a returning client come in for the remainder of the week. She advertises a "casita" which is nothing more than a Tuff Shed with 2 small beds. There was no electricity to the "casita" so no lights or air conditioning due to a "wind storm". We ended up with 4 people sleeping in her "studio" which was nothing more than a converted garage. There were dead cockroaches and crickets on the floor and had to ask her to vacuum before we slept there. The swamp cooler to the "studio" garage sounded like a freight train - hard to sleep when it was on. House is eclectic but not clean by most standards. Refrigerator in "studio" garage where we kept our food smelled awful. We cleaned it before using. I will say the yard is beautiful. Hot tub needed repair but we had use of it 5 out of the 7 days. Owner was accommodating with our team bbq of 25 people. Would not return.
First, let me say that this IS NOT a child friendly home. If you have children, this is not the rental for you. There is stuff everywhere and I was surprised in the 24 hours that we were there that nothing was broken.
We spend a lot of money to stay in this home during Balloon Festival week. We were told that we would be the only one's renting the home which was extremely important to us as we had 4 children under the age of 4 with us and 4 families. When checking in we were informed that there would be multiple other people/couples coming and going from the home at various times. This was NOT agreed upon and we were not given notice. After driving 8-12 hours from various states, we were then told this info. This made several of the families so uncomfortable that we then left and no refund was given. We had to go rent 2 more houses last minute just to have somewhere to stay.
Also, the hosts office is in the middle of the home and is open air. This was uncomfortable for us as we could hear her business conversations and she was also constantly overhearing our conversations and would input her opinion unasked.
I guess just go into this rental knowing it's transient nature and that the "host/owner" of the property is always there and unwilling to work with customers that find they are unsatisfied or when contract is broken.
Positive--House was beautiful and full of character. Plenty of room to spread out, both indoors and outdoors. Had full use of kitchen and laundry room.
Negative--Mix-up in number of rooms, but owner made up for that by letting our two teenagers sleep in the game/living room. Also, could not get outdoor grill to work, even though had called ahead to make sure there was one available. House has several pieces of art displaying nudity, including male genitalia, so some might not consider appropriate for children/young teenagers. Lastly, owner lives in the house, and other people can rent rooms at the same time, so depending on your situation this might be undesirable...

High Mowing Organic Seed Company to Launch First Full Line of Non-GMO Project Verified Organic Vegetable Seeds
High Mowing Organic Seed Company (HMOS) announced today that it is launching the first full line of organic, Non-GMO Project Verified vegetable seeds for farmers and gardeners. With over 90% of its varieties verified to date, HMOSs entire line of over 650 varieties will be verified by late summer 2014. HMOS seeds are already Certified Organic.
The term GMO, or genetically modified organism, refers to any organism which has had the genes of a different species spliced into its DNA. This differs from traditional methods of plant breeding, where the breeder pollinates the plants by hand, moving pollen from one plant to another, and only members of the same species can be crossed to create a new variety. Genetic modification results in varieties that contain genes from two different species.
GMOs are not permitted under the National Organic Program, the federal regulatory framework governing organic food, and HMOS has never sold genetically modified seeds. As new GM crops are released to the general public, however, the risk of these crops cross-pollinating organic crops increases. HMOS has committed to Non-GMO Projects independent verification to help reduce these risks.
High Mowing Seeds has been a dedicated non-GMO leader, said Megan Westgate, Executive Director of the Non-GMO Project. A non-GMO food supply is reliant upon non-GMO seeds, and HMOS has shown its commitment to preserving and building non-GMO choices by starting at the source. We couldn't be more honored to be working with such a purpose-driven company. HMOS has been offering their expertise on seed issues to the Non-GMO Project since 2008.
Both HMOS and the Non-GMO Project believe consumers have a right to know whats in their food and should be able to make an informed choice based on clear labeling of food products and ingredients. 64 other countries around the world now require labeling of GMOs. On May 8th, Vermont passed a bill that makes them the first U.S. State to require GMO labeling. HMOS is dedicated to ensuring consumer choice and safety by verifying their seeds and adhering to a strict policy regarding GMO contamination.
We have the remarkable opportunity to shape and steward the future of our seeds and help protect their purity for generations to come, said Tom Stearns, founder of HMOS. Non-GMO Project Verification enables us to take a detailed and systematic approach to preventing GMO contamination in all our seed production and handling. HMOS will continue to invest in collaborations like the Non-GMO Project, because organic, non-GMO seeds have to be the foundation of the healthy food system of the future.
Located in Northern Vermont, High Mowing Organic Seeds has been a non-GMO, 100% certified organic seed company since its founding in 1996. In 1999, HMOS developed the Safe Seed Pledge, and the partnership with the Non-GMO Project further ensures gardeners, farmers and consumers can feel confident about the quality and source of their seed, as well as the food grown from it.

Buffalo playwright Neil Wechsler announced this week that he is teaming up with the Burchfield Penney Art Center to launch an outdoor theater festival that will open next July with a production of Goethe's tragic play "Faust."
The inaugural Against the Grain Festival, according to a release, will feature a roving, multimedia production of both parts of the play among Silo City's century-old grain elevators from July 22 through Aug. 3, 2014.
Wechsler, whose play "Grenadine" won the prestigious 2008 Yale Drama Award juried by three-time Pulitzer winner Edward Albee, will serve as the festival's director and has recruited David Oliver to direct the production.
Wechsler has whittled down Goethe's sprawling, 23-hour play to a manageable two-hour piece that "likens Buffalo Niagara's industrial past to Goethe's fable of the rise and fall of western civilization." He intends to recruit actors from Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Toronto through universities and theater companies he has not yet named. Auditions for the festival are slated for late January.
The goals for Wechsler's long-planned festival, now in its very formative stages, sound nearly as grand as the scope of Goethe's early 19th century masterpiece.
"It is a glorious impossible play, which is the only reason I bothered to adapt it. There are only so many glorious impossible plays," Wechsler wrote about the project in an email. He also adapted Ibsen's "Emperor and Galilean" for a successful Torn Space Theater production in 2012. "The silos reflect that grand human scale: the rise, the fall, the potential rebirth of human greatness."
Wechsler said he believes that the festival has the potential to draw audiences from surrounding cities.
"I think Buffalo is the ideal centerpiece for such a project and such a movement," he said, citing its proximity to Hamilton, Toronto and its other Rust Belt neighbors. "Buffalo is the ultimate underdog, and it has all the artistic and civic potential to make it work. It can open up the scope of artistic possibility. It can provide the freedom to literally work outside borders."
As part of the collaboration, the Burchfield Penney will provide housing to out-of-town actors participating in the production as well as help some organization and promotional aspects of the project. Wechsler said that more information about the project, including a list of the organizations and theaters collaborating on the project, will be released in the coming months.

In 1919, when the North Shore Channel was new, and the area surrounding it was largely unusable, some progressive and creative leaders of Evanston and Wilmette joined together with a vision for a golf course — not just any golf course, but one tailored to wind through our communities and provide a unique public golf experience.
Chick Evans is a short 5,691 yards, yet satisfying, 18-hole course located in the northern suburbs. The course is named after Chick Evans who in addition to being the first amateur golfer to win both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur Open, founded the Chick Evans Scholarship program for caddies. The Chicago River cuts right through the center of the course offering beautiful scenery and a formidable obstacle for golfers who play here.

Marquette student diagnosed with mumps
A Marquette University student has been diagnosed with a confirmed case of the mumps, university officials said Friday.
The case is isolated and involves a student who lives off campus, however officials urged students present in the Marquette's Union Sports annex between 3 and 11 p.m. Tuesday to monitor their health for symptoms of the mumps until Sept. 30.
Mumps is spread in respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or by direct contact with secretions.
Symptoms include swelling of the salivary glands, located in the cheek and jaw area, within the first two days of illness and may be preceded by fever, fatigue, weakness or pain with chewing or swallowing.
Students were also urged to review their immunization records and to contact their health care provider or the university's Student Health Service if they unsure if they've received vaccinations against the illness.

Oh, almost forgot- I once made specifications for an alternate evolution of Vanillish:
Vanilludge, the Hot & Cold Pokémon. Fire/Ice. Evolves from a Vanillish that is holding a Chocolate Bar (new item I made up; basically the same as a Super Potion or Fresh Water, just in the form of a candy bar) when a Fire Stone is used on it. Its base stats are as follows;
Attack: 95
Defense: 85
Sp. Atk: 95
Sp. Def: 79

(Recorded live for the BBC Transatlantic Sessions).
Click here to listen to Julie Fowlis perform the theme song from Brave.
Julie Fowlis is a multi-award winning Gaelic singer who is deeply influenced by her early upbringing in the Outer Hebridean island of North Uist. With a career spanning ten years and four studio albums, her 'crystalline' and 'intoxicating' vocals have enchanted audiences around the world. An artist with a genuine curiosity to explore other traditions and natural ability to cross genres, Julie has collaborated, recorded and performed with artists such as violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti, and acclaimed singers Aled Jones, Grammy-Award winning James Taylor and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Her passion for folk culture, song and music is exemplified in her collaborations in 2015 such as with the celebrated Québécois band Le Vent du Nord, her Vocal ConneXions project in Summer 2015 with singers from Bulgaria, Brittany, Finland and Norway and her continued musical friendship with Irish singer and musician, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh.
Nominated as 'Folk Singer of the Year' at the 2015 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, and 'Best Artist' at the Songlines World Music Awards 2015, Julie is a warm and engaging live performer who has graced stages around the globe, from village halls in the Highlands to theatres in Paris and Vienna, London and New York, to singing live at the opening ceremony of the Glasgow XX Commonwealth Games in 2014, to a TV audience of over 1 billion people.
She will forever be recognized for singing the theme song to 'Brave', Disney Pixar's Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA winning animated film, set in the ancient highlands of Scotland. The track was recorded when Julie was eight months pregnant with her second child, and has since been a worldwide smash hit, and was indeed long listed for an Oscar nomination in 2013.
Julie's most recent studio album of traditional songs in Gaelic, 'Gach Sgeul / Every Story', was released in 2014, and received five-star glowing reviews from the likes of Songlines World Music magazine, and which led to her and her regular touring band winning 'Folk Act of the Year 2014' at the Scots Trad Music Awards, and she also made history as the first Gaelic solo artist to win a Scottish Music Award in December 2014.
Julie has also become a sought-after and successful presenter on radio and television, on BBC ALBA, BBC Radio 2, and 4, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Scotland TV, SKY ARTS HD and TG4 in Ireland.
A quiet torchbearer for her native tradition, Julie still finds time to deepen her knowledge of Highland and Gaelic culture, tradition and history through continued research and academic projects. In addition to her two degrees (a BA Honours in Applied Music and an MA in Material Culture & The Environment), she was also awarded an Honourary Doctorate of Music by Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.

Med Return Units help reduce overdose deaths
Med Return Units are popping up across the country, uniquely positioned in local police departments to allow residents a safe way to dispose of unwanted or expired medications. They are similar in size and shape to an old-fashioned mailbox, and just as heavy.
According to a new report, "Prescription Drug Abuse: Strategies to Stop the Epidemic," Pennsylvania has the 14th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States, with 15.3 per 100,000 people suffering drug fatalities.
In a recent report from the Trust for America's Health, prescription-drug-related deaths now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined, and drug overdose deaths exceed motor-vehicle-related deaths.
Prescription drug overdose deaths are preventable through the provision of a unique, effective and safe method of disposal, namely MRUs.
Although there is no magic bullet to prevent overdose deaths, a collaborative approach that includes active involvement from law enforcement, public health, policymakers, medical providers and elected officials is apt to create long-term and large-scale change.
Removing the drugs from medicine cabinets in our homes -- and putting them into the hands of law enforcement -- is an important step to reduce opioid overdose deaths.
Surveys of students and adults reveal that second only to fake prescriptions, or fraudulently acquired medicine, drug addicts turn to friends and families for their addictive behaviors by looking in the medicine chest.
MRUs help take the abundance of drugs off the street where they could have been abused or misused. They serve the community by providing a safe method of disposal which also protects the environmental conscience.
MRUs will change the way we interact with pharmacies, prescribers, dispensers and our health-care providers. We encourage and promote interaction of prevention partners and demonstrated use of proper opiate prescribing, and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency guidelines for safe disposal, which all work together to save lives.
Through placement and audits of 10 MRUs in Erie County, we have removed at least 83,000 drugs of concern including opioids, benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, and other mood-altering drugs over an 18-month period. A total of 900,000 units of all prescriptions have been collected and incinerated.
Place unwanted and expired prescriptions in an MRU.
Patty Puline is injury prevention coordinator for the Erie County Department of Health.

Comments about Jimmy Santiago Baca
Stephy Bird(:
I am a student in year 9 and I just wanted to say how amazing Mr Baca's poetry really is. I had to recite Whu understands me but me for a class assignment and though it was difficult to remember every line, I really felt the meaning beneath the words on a page as I'm sure that the audience did too. All the feelings that reflect from these poems are exactly what I have felt or what I'm feeling. These peices are utterly amazing and beautiful. I really hope that everyone that reads them fully appreciates the time, effort, meaning, and feeling poured into each and every one of these outstanding poetry peices.
xoxo Steph(:

I am a poetry student at NMHU and saw Jimmy Santiago Baca reach out to his community with all his heart. Although I am white and a transplant to the state of NM, I saw that the local young men really were toughed as was a young black guy from California. NM and all other states should have more inspirational artists like Jimmy coming to tell stories and read aloud to a community to which they relate to and we wouldn't have so much crime, misunderstanding and the damnation of the few good men who still exist amongst an all- too- often cruel world. Even as I could not relate to the culture since I didn't grow up here, Baca was an inspiration and example that people have the control to become who they want to be even when their past circumstances have all but withered their desire to live! Thanks Jimmy Santiago Baca for being an inspiration for a better life in NM and for the young people who don't have the comforts of life handed to them on a silver platter! !

Willy, my old friend. I'm afraid you're mistaken, yet again... but I forgive you. And a poem is something like what Mr. Baca, a poet, made. The following is one of my favorite quotes from his poem 'Green Chile':
'I prefer...my eggs and potatoes for breakfast... in the wind... licking the breeze.'
Oh, and:
'But grandmother loves... sweating over the stove...for a dollar a bag...'
Those quotes really capture the true meaning of the poem, in my opinion.
*kfffffffff kfffffffff kfffffffff*

Two more questions:
1) What's a poem?
b) I'm so cool.
Willy Penate

Hey. Who is Jimmy Santiago Baca and what does he do?
Willy Penate
I think xman is completely wrong in saying that. Not based on the content that he posted, no. This is based on xman himself. You are always wrong in what you say and all your base are belong to me. Make your time. kfffffffffffffffff

I concur. However, 'Welcome to Hiroshima' by Mary Jo Salter is way cooler. *kfffffff* I'm not not Kyle.

I Am Offering This Poem
I am offering this poem to you,
since I have nothing else to give.
Keep it like a warm coat,
when winter comes to cover you,
or like a pair of thick socks
the cold cannot bite through,
I love you,
I have nothing else to give you,
so it is a pot full of yellow corn
to warm your belly in the winter,
it is a scarf for your head, to wear
over your hair, to tie up around your face,
I love you,
Keep it, treasure it as you would
if you were lost, needing direction,
in the wilderness life becomes when mature;
and in the corner of your ...
When Life
Is cut close, blades and bones,
And the stench of sewers is everywhere,
Blood-sloshed floors,
And guards count the dead
With the blink of an eyelid, then hurry home
To supper and love, what saves us
From going mad is to carry a vacant stare
And a quiet half-dead dream.

Standing off to the side watching with equal intensity, were two small boys with shaved heads and big grins. One was nine-year-old Parker and the other was his younger six-year-old brother Dylan. You could see it in their eyes; both looked as if they had just won a trip to Disneyland. Parker and Dylan ran up and down the sidelines laughing while mimicking the sprints and drills of their favorite Cougars.
As BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall called together his players to the middle of the indoor practice facility field for a brief speech signifying the end of the day's activities, the team broke the gathering with the familiar cry of "Champions!" On a normal day, the team usually jogs on over to the POWERade table, but Friday was different.
The team turned around and gathered in single file towards the two little boys as they stood next to other siblings and their parents. It was quiet, and a reverent feeling quickly replaced what were once the echoes of 100 plus football players suffering through rigorous conditioning drills.
The Cougars patiently waited in line to shake the hands of two little boys with hearts as big as their Cougar heroes.
"When Coach [Mendenhall] announced it today, first I though how grateful I am about my situation in life where I wasn't dealt anything like leukemia," said quarterback John Beck. "I didn't have to go through anything like that, so first off you think "How blessed am I?" and then at the same time I thought of how special of a family they are. I thought one of the coolest things was how they all showed up today with shaved heads. They all wanted to make their brother feel better and apart of the family. If you look at that little guy [Parker] he had a smile on his face, and he was just so fired up just to be here. For him, even though he has to deal with that, he's still finding all the good things in life that make him happy."
Young Parker McEwan was diagnosed with leukemia years ago and has already been through the difficult trials of chemotherapy. He was well on the road to recovery when the situation turned for the worst. Parker and the McEwan family would soon have their own version of BYU's band of brothers with the youngest of heroes coming to Parker's aid.
"The older boy has been diagnosed with leukemia cancer and he's been fighting it since 2002," said senior tight end Daniel Coats. "They thought they beat it in 2005 but it just barely came back up again, and he had to go back through chemotherapy and needs a bone marrow transfer. He's getting it from his younger brother Dylan who is just six years old. He's one brave little kid to want to do that for his brother because I'm scared of needles let alone wanting to go through surgery."
Little Dylan will make a tremendous sacrifice by being a bone marrow donor for his big brother Parker.
"It's just an awesome story," said senior wide receiver Zac Collie. "We talk about tribulations and trials, and I think Heavenly Father gives us those things to grow and make us stronger, but for Dylan and Parker to have these things happen to them being so young, and to see them persevere is literally being a band of brothers. It's about one sacrificing for the other, and I don't think there is a greater story than that because it's truly what life is all about. I have so much respect and all the admiration in the world for these two young boys."
"The story about how his little brother is going to be his donor; I think that right there will keep those two brothers so close together for the rest of their life," said Beck. "My younger brother [Rudy] is one of my best friends. My younger brother and I, we always talk and will be best friends until we are old and gone. To have that kind of relation within your own family is really special, and that's what the Church is all about. They're always talking about the family unit and keeping it strong. With a situation like that, what a great example it is of a family's love and a family's devotion to each other."
When Parker and his brothers found out that they would have the chance to see and meet the Cougar football team, they jumped up and down and danced around. For just a little while, the troubles and worries of their world seemed to disappear.
With tears in her eyes, Parker and Dylan's mother Neely said: "They were ecstatic, and this was very fun. It's just wonderful and something great for these boys to come and meet the team. This is a scary thing they have to do and I think it's just a positive thing for them in helping to be more brave.
"It helps so much just for these boys to see these young men and how strong they are not just within sports but within their own lives all around."
"I think it's great too," said Dylan and Parker's father Brad. "We've been big BYU fans all along, and we've watched this team all season and it's been a big come back year for them. These athletes are good young men and it's great to have that role model for our boys. To have all the players come by and shake my boys hands is a big thing for them, and I think it's going to be something they'll always remember."
Parker's leukemia is currently in remission, and the family is preparing for the bone marrow transplant. Next Wednesday, Parker will be admitted to the hospital and the life saving transplant from his little brother will take place on the 21st of December.
"It's inspiring to see a brother care for another brother so much that he's ready to sacrifice what ever it takes," Coats said. "It's really what being a band of brothers is all about.
"The family is a big fan of BYU and when you have the chance to do something as small as this, it's great for us. All they wanted to do was come to practice and meet us, and if we have the chance to make him happy and to keep him strong to keep fighting cancer, we'll do it. Anything we can do to help make a couple of kids happy or to help inspire him to keep fighting, we're more than willing to do it."
"The one thing that Coach Mendenhall always talks about is giving back to the community," said Beck. "It's about doing things for others and we've all been lucky enough to have been given the chance to be here and play football at BYU. There are hundreds of people all across the United States that have been dealt a different hand in life where maybe they can't run as well as we can or can't do other things as well. That doesn't take anything way from the type of people they are or what they can accomplish.
"Parker and Dylan are dealing with something like this which is unfortunate, but it's great to have them come in and allow us to give them a standing ovation. I thought that was really special because it's something they'll remember for the rest of their lives, and it's also something that the entire team will remember and take home with us."
Thoughts and prayers on behalf of Parker, Dylan and the McEwan family would be greatly appreciated as they go through this trying time.

"Executives are looking to other markets to diversify its offering. A 3 July deal to open 50 managed hotels in Angola is one example, while another, mentioned during a 30 July news conference outlining the French company's H1 2015 earnings, is Iran, where CEO Sébastien Bazin said AccorHotels had 'true ambition.' Bazin said talks are in progress to open two hotels under the Novotel and Ibis brands in Tehran. Iran has been in talks with the United States, European Union and other allies concerning its nuclear program and to begin closer bilateral relations." (Hotel News Now, "Accor drives performance via diversification," 7/31/15)
"French operator AccorHotels is in advanced negotiations for two properties in Tehran under its ibis and Novotel brands. Christophe Landais, managing director Accor Middle East told Hotelier: 'We expect the recent agreements to potentially open up tremendous opportunities and rapid growth for the hospitality and tourism industry in Iran. AccorHotels is well positioned to play a leading role in the development of the hospitality and tourism industry throughout Iran. AccorHotels does not at present have any management agreements in place in Iran, however we are considering a number of potential opportunities across a broad range of segments.'" (Hotelier, "Hoteliers enter Iran race following nuclear deal," 7/16/15)
"This year's opening of a four-star Axis hotel in Tehran under the management of France's Accor, with a five star Axis Prime set to open soon nearby, is an indication of how fast things could change. Not since the Islamic revolution has a western company managed a hotel in Iran... Still it is not clear how Accor — Europe's largest hotel group by number of rooms — secured the contract given continued sanctions. While the sanctions do not directly target the tourism industry, they prohibit the transfer of money to or from Iran unless for basic commodities or medicine... Accor is now poised to benefit from the doors opening to one of the world's biggest untapped tourist destinations, home to huge and historic attractions such as Persepolis and Isfahan. Rumours are rife that other French groups are negotiating with Iran about the construction and management of hotels. Bouygues, the French construction, media and telecoms conglomerate, declined to comment, as did the UAE-based Rotana hotel management group, understood to be planning hotels in Tehran and the holy city of Mashhad."
