Living in the Tarnished State is a gift that just keeps giving. A most amazing, but not terribly surprising event was reported in varying degrees of detail over the last 24 hours, about a California Democrat State Senator a major gun-control advocate. The Los Angeles Times summarizes the headline:
State Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) and a San Francisco figure known as "Shrimp Boy" were arrested Wednesday as part of a public corruption probe after a series of raids by federal and gang task force officials, the FBI confirmed. Yee, a Democrat who is also running for California secretary of state, was expected to appear in a federal courthouse in downtown San Francisco at 1:30 p.m.
FBI agents searched Yees state Senate office Wednesday morning but declined to comment to The Times on the nature of their investigation. Yee was taken to the courthouse in the backseat of a patrol car. San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr described the raids to KCBS as "massive. Hundreds of officers are involved in this," he said.
Subsequent to this report, Mr. Yee was arraigned on charges of conspiring to commit wire fraud and traffic firearms, part of a sweeping public corruption case outlined by federal prosecutors.
Yee is quite the quintessential progressive Democrat. You couldn't find a state legislator in California or anywhere else, with a more hard Left voting record than Senator Yee. As an example, Yee has voted for or sponsored the following pieces of legislation:
It gets even more interesting. This guy, this State Senator that failed in his bid to become Mayor of San Francisco and was in the middle of campaigning for the statewide office of Secretary of State, already has his own criminal record! Yee was in a KTA store in Keaauhou Hawaii, in 1992 when he apparently stuffed a bottle of Tropical Blend Tan Magnifier Oil into his pocket and then under his shirt and tried to walk out of the store with it. After being stopped by a security guard, he claimed he was trying to show the bottle of suntan lotion to his wife who was waiting outside. He was arrested on the spot. When it came time for Yees court hearing, records show he skipped his court appearance.
And then, more recently back in San Francisco, State Senator Yee had another brush with law enforcement in 1999, the San Francisco Weekly reports:
Although cops stopped him twice in the Mission District's hooker-row area near Capp Street in 1999, Yee denied soliciting prostitutes. He told the media: They presume that people are driving around there looking for prostitutes, but there are people who use that street to go home. They said there was somebody they thought looked like me who may have been soliciting. And I said, 'No, I was coming from work.'" Sure, that sounds reasonable. I think that some of my readers might think I lay it on a bit thick whenever I refer to the Democrat party at the state and federal level as one wing of a massive, mafia like crime syndicate. Well, maybe this will be the jolly old convincer. The Mercury News outlines the charges against Yee, for which he was required to post a half million dollar bond to avoid spending the night in the slam:
With scenes resembling the recent movie blockbuster "American Hustle," Yee is depicted in a startling, 137-page FBI affidavit of repeatedly offering to broker illegal firearms sales in exchange for campaign contributions. He allegedly took part in dealmaking meetings with undercover agents, often arranged by San Francisco political consultant Keith Jackson, a close associate among two dozen figures charged in the case.
Yee is linked to a host of wrongdoing to pad his political warchest, charged with seven felonies in a case with two dozen defendants accused of everything from money laundering to murder-for-hire. The defendants include Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, a reputed ringleader of a Chinese syndicate federal investigators have been trying to crack since the late 1980s. But of all this, I'm sure you'll agree that the most incredible facet of the charges is his alleged role in brokering illegal firearms sales. Here's a guy that has authored, sponsored or voted for every restrictive piece of anti-gun owner legislation, facilitating (allegedly) the black market trade in the self same weapons! He's furnishing the criminal element with guns to use against the law abiding owners he's legislatively put the clamps to. He boasted to undercover FBI agents about his gun smuggling connections in Asia and Russia. Among the charges filed by federal prosecutors was a murder for hire scheme. And had he been successful in his Mayoral campaign, he would have been presiding over the affairs of the city Police Department!
If this doesn't drive home the point that the Democrats are soaked in corruption and hypocrisy, I don't know of anything else that would. It's looking like the Bob 'Filthy' Filner fiasco was just the first shoe to drop. State Democratic party leaders are falling all over themselves trying to clear the legislative chambers of the stink of Yee and two other fellow Democrats. Democratic Senator Ron Calderon who faces federal corruption charges, and Democratic Sen. Rod Wright, who is awaiting sentencing in a voter fraud case are suspended until the criminal cases against them have been resolved. Even so, they will continue receiving their $95,291 annual salaries.
What makes me think that if Joe Sixpack got arrested for something that looks like child's play in comparison, his employer would kick his can to the curb and pay him up to the end of the week and that would be it?
But I guess we're talking Apples and Oranges here.
For more takedowns of hypocrites among the political class, visit us at - http://blastedfools.wordpress.com/
Why isn't he being charged with aiding terrorists and treason?
I placed it among the categories on Blasted Fools as 'Democrats Gone Wild', 'Corrupt Lawmakers' and 'Treason and Violation of Oath', among others.
They all sound appropriate to me. I guess we can't count on the same rationality and accountability from the DoJ.
the government is in the grip of a couple of organized crime families - the Democrats and Republicans. The Democrats have the D.C. mob territory for now - and a franchise out in Cali.
This is so damn typical of corrupt politicians. Ban formerly legal substances, Guns, Alcohol, etc. And then supply the market with your own now-illegal products at a huge mark-up.
California Democrat = Expected
YEE HAS THE PUTRID SMELL OF HYPHENATE-SOLIDARITY---voted for or sponsored the following pieces of legislation:
Driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
Voted to prohibit law enforcement from detaining individuals solely on immigration status.
Voted to prohibit the impounding of the vehicles of illegal alien drivers at DUI checkpoints.
Yee also got on his knees, puckered up and sucked-up to gays: He voted for a bill that authorizes a student to participate in any sex-segregated school programs and activities and to use facilities that correspond to the student's gender identity, whereas existing law does not authorize a student to use facilities that correspond to the student's gender identity.
Every official document filed by Yee needs to be scrutinized. Perjury, forgery, govt fraud, and voter fraud need to be considered. Judging from the depths he will stoop to get elected, he may have encouraged people to lie on voter registration forms, and may have falsified his own candidacy papers.
Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........
Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates
Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document
A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party. /
Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility
Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.
The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.
Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of Lee and government insiders ability to collude in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.
<><> L/E needs to examine Yee's multiple bank accounts.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer govt funds from one account to another, and/or wo=ire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover their tracks, fake govt invoices might be created to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate govt purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of govt funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.
NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities, the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.
Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of Yee's checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies Yee paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize Yee bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures---or to finance campaign activities (and/or other redistribution schemes to hand-picked voting blocs).
Tax fraud may also be a factor; facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from Yee's accounts into personal accounts, campaign accounts, or into redistribution schemes.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses (and campaign activities, or other redistribution schemes).
Taxpayers demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute govt fraud, pronto.
Taxpayers are urged to notify the FBI now.
FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov
SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, and bribery
IN RE: financial irregularities
REFERENCE: govt fraud, falsified documents, wire transfers, accounting fraud, etc.
NARRATIVE Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of multiple conspiracies by Yee and other government insiders to collude in sub rosa deals to personally profit and/or to facilitate redistribution schemes.
OF INTEREST TO LAW ENFORCEMENT The FBI should interrogate individuals for evidence of multiple schemes to falsify documents to further insider schemes. The FBI should investigate any and all official documents submitted by Yee.
Crimes might include---conspiracy, collusion, falsifying offical documents (a felony), money laundering, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies, misuse of public office and government positions.
Examine Yee personnel's tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest income."
I hear Obama and Holder reserved blocks of seats in advance of the premier (cackle).
All excellent points, Liz. I think your wish will be granted. Now that the feds have him, they're going to do the full proctological exam (like they do in the Castro district).
Betcha Shrimp Boy will sing loudly to save his own skin.
correct. That's who prosecutors will make a bargain with, because Yee is the big fish.
This is the full monty on Leland Yee. Thanks Noremac.

Serving Trays for Outdoor Dining
• 1 A galvanized tray like this one from Cooking.com is the perfect staple for outdoor dining. $14
• 2 This Wood Flag Serving Tray at Sur la Table could go artsy (think Jasper Johns) or patriotic for the upcoming holiday. $30
• 3 On the very high end, this George Nakashima tray by Knoll is available at All Modern. $325
• 4 These lacquered trays from Gracious Home are so elegant for indoors or out. $150
• 5 Go graphic with the Marimekko Taikamylly Tray. $85
• 6 The round Buri Weave Tray from Pottery Barn is a timeless classic. $69
• 7 We love the large rectangle wood tray from West Elm, in several glossy colors. $59
• 8 At only $8, the large BÄRBAR tray from IKEA could be purchased in multiples. $8
In our opinion, size really matters when it comes to selecting trays for outdoor dining. A broad, lightweight tray will carry more and be a real workhorse when it comes to getting the meal outside. After size, shape comes next. We prefer round trays because they hold more for their size, but a large rectangular tray can be very useful, too. How do you get outdoor meals from kitchen to table? Any helpful hints to share with the rest of us? Please do in the comments below! Related: The IKEA Kitchen: RATIONELL Cutlery Tray

WASHINGTON Congressional careers may end, but campaign money endures.
Tuesday was officially the last day in office for U.S. Rep. Robert Andrews (D., N.J.), but he will have wide latitude in how he uses nearly $700,000 in campaign funds he holds in two political accounts.
"He has a lot of options," said Paul S. Ryan, senior counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan group that monitors campaign laws.
Andrews' campaign money sits in two pots, with different rules for his post-House career. Most - $567,375 - is in a campaign account. An additional $119,727 sits in a so-called leadership PAC (the Committee to Strengthen America). Both amounts are as of Dec. 31, the last day covered by Congress' latest filings.


text: As a crew from the Army Corps of Engineers is completing repairs to the steel cell section of the Port Washington breakwater, the Common Council on Tuesday took the rare step of rejecting bids for the next phase of improvements to the structure. The city had received two bids for the work, with the low bid coming in at about $705,000, City Administrator Mark Grams said. The budget for the project was $550,000. Grams said the city had its consultant, Foth Infrastructure and Environment, look at the plan to see how it could be altered to meet the city's needs, but even after these changes the project was still about $56,000 over budget. After consulting with City Attorney Eric Eberhardt, Grams said, the decision was made to rebid the project, redesigning as necessary before seeking the new bids. "Hopefully we'll get more bidders," Grams said, noting two or three other contractors said they wanted to submit bids but could not meet the city's time schedule for the work. The city had hoped to start work on the gateway project in August, with work continuing through the remainder of the year. Even with the rebidding, Grams said, officials hope that work on the gateway project, including construction of a fishing platform and facilities to make it handicapped accessible, can begin late this year. The second phase of the gateway project, which includes improvements to the land surrounding the breakwater, is expected to be done next year. Mayor Tom Mlada said that the delay will mean that pedestrians will be able to access the breakwater longer than expected this year. Officials had expected that the breakwater would be open from July 4, when the current project wraps up, until the gateway project began in August. Now, Mlada said, the breakwater will be open throughout August and at least into September. The Army Corps crew currently working on the breakwater project has completed repairs to 11 of the 22 steel cells, Mlada said. The work should be completed in 10 to 12 days, as long as the weather holds. "It's exciting that it's almost at a close," he said, adding that the delay in the gateway project "will give people the chance to get out there and see the great job the Army Corps of Engineers has done." The Common Council on Tuesday also approved a grant application for the final phase of the breakwater project — repairing the structure from the steel cell section east to the lighthouse. The city is seeking $2.4 million from the Harbor Assistance Grant Program for the work, which would be matched by a $600,000 contribution from the city. The city has received a Harbor Assistance grant for the current work, Grams told aldermen. The city is also seeking money from the Army Corps of Engineers to complete that portion of the project. Mlada sent a letter to the Corps of Engineers this spring asking it to contribute $2 million to $3 million to complete that work.

The online coupon provider will also expand its daily deals and localized offers.
Online discount provider CouponCabin.com said this week it has raised $54 million in funding from JMI Equity.
CouponCabin offers online coupon codes for shoppers to use at retail web sites. E-retailers pay CouponCabin an affiliate fee—anywhere from 3% to 33% of the total transaction—for any sale that involves one its codes, says chief operating officer Tim Fagan.
CouponCabin plans to use the capital to hire staff and boost its social media, mobile, daily deals and localized offers. "The growth capital was intended to put these initiatives on steroids," Fagan says.
The company says it will focus its social media efforts on its already large Facebook fan base, which stands at more than 1.1 million. "We are investing heavily into social," Fagan says. "It's a big part of our traffic source and so we are planning a lot around product development and marketing to engage deeper and bring more targeted coupons to our fans."
The company also plans to launch iPhone and Android apps in the first quarter of 2012, Fagan says. CouponCabin already has a mobile-optimized site.
CouponCabin moved from Illinois to Indiana in February to preserve its relationships with online retailers after the Illinois legislature passed a law that requires e-commerce operators with Illinois affiliates to collect 6.25% in sales tax. "We didn't want to put our merchant relationships in jeopardy," Fagan says. "We even faxed some of them a copy of our new lease in Indiana. They were very appreciative of our proactive stance on this, as we didn't want to put ourselves or them in the middle of this debate."

PPI in August 2007
September 19, 2007
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods fell 1.4 percent in August, seasonally adjusted. This decrease followed a 0.6-percent increase in July and a 0.2-percent decline in June.
Accounting for most of the downturn in finished goods prices, the index for energy goods fell 6.6 percent in August following a 2.5-percent rise in the prior month. Gasoline prices dropped 13.8 percent following a 3.2-percent advance a month earlier.
The index for finished consumer foods fell 0.2 percent in August after edging down 0.1 percent in July.
The index for finished goods other than foods and energy climbed 0.2 percent in August after inching up 0.1 percent in July. In August, higher prices for pharmaceutical preparations, civilian aircraft, passenger cars, alcoholic beverages, and newspaper circulation more than offset lower prices for light motor trucks, electronic computers, heavy motor trucks, and floor coverings.

Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy were scheduled to speak to reporters on Tuesday, and both arrived at the lectern about the same time. McCoy decided to go first.
"I actually worked today," he said with a smile.
McCoy's playful jab at Maclin had truth to it. McCoy practiced, and Maclin mostly watched. It was the second consecutive day that Maclin was a limited participant in Eagles practice.
"Just a little soreness," Maclin said. "It's not a big deal. Today, I probably could have gone. I just wasn't 100 percent. Tomorrow, I should be fine, Thursday I'll be fine, and I'll be able to play Friday."

THEY STARTED filing out of the Wells Fargo Center Tuesday night at about the 6-minute mark, right after Travis Zajac scored the goal to put the Devils up by two. The talk of a Flyers sweep went with them.
There was a popular school of thought last summer when Paul Holmgren pushed the plunger and decimated the Flyers roster that offense was going to be a problem. For most of the season, it was not. In Tuesday's Game 2, it was as the Flyers slogged their way to a 4-1 loss.
With Mike Richards and Jeff Carter gone, the Flyers, it was thought, weren't going to have enough reliable scoring to make a serious playoff run. They entered the season having to replace the 59 goals the homegrown stars provided, plus another 19 that Ville Leino gave them.

Skip to comments.Bank of Gay America
Posted on 08/29/2011 5:04:59 AM PDT by Kaslin
Dear Mr. Moynihan:
I want to bring to your attention a recent decision made by your HR team that I think does not reflect your leadership of Bank of America. Dr. Frank Turek was fired as a vendor for his political and religious views, even though those views were never mentioned or expressed during his work at Bank of America.
By way of background, Dr. Turek is an eight-year veteran of the United States Navy, and he and his wife have two sons serving in the United States Air Force. He has conducted leadership, teambuilding and other training programs for Bank of America on several occasions since 1995. His programs have always earned high marks, hence the repeated invitations.
In late May of this year Dr. Turek was hired to present at a meeting of your Global Business Management & Analysis Team within Global Wealth and Investment Management. The title of his presentation was called Why Cant You Be Normal Just Like Me? The presentation helps participants adapt to diverse personalities to improve productivity and relationshipsthe essence of inclusion and diversity. The meeting was scheduled to take place at your Merrill Lynch facility in Pennington, New Jersey on June 17.
Three days before the event Dr. Turek was abruptly fired by an HR representative. Why? She explained that someone Googled his name and discovered that he had written Correct, Not Politically Correct: How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone. Marriage was not the topic of his presentation, nor has it ever been in all his years of working with the bank. Moreover, as his book reveals (although no one at the Bank is likely to have read it), Dr. Turek treats all people with respect, whether he agrees with them politically or not. Nevertheless, in the name of inclusion and diversity, he was immediately excluded for his political and religious viewpoint. Mr. Moynihan, please answer this question: Do you have to have certain political or religious views to work at Bank of America?
I know you cannot really believe that free speech and religion rights vanish when one works with Bank of America. I know that you cannot believe that all political conservatives, Jews, Christians, Mormons and Muslims should be fired for their deeply held beliefs. But that is how the Bank of America policy of inclusion was applied to Dr. Turek. He was fired because of his personal political and religious beliefsbeliefs that are undoubtedly shared by thousands of your very large and diverse workforce. Or is it really diverse?
I assume the intent of the Banks value of inclusion is to ensure that people in that diverse workforce will work together cordially and professionally even when they inevitably disagree on certain political, moral or religious questions. Dr. Turek agrees with that value and was demonstrating it. He was being inclusive working with the Bank. But your Bank of America was being exclusive by refusing to work with him, even though his viewpoint was never discussed during work.
If you deny that your culture is dramatically tilted toward political correctness, I ask you to consider this: What action would have been taken by your bank had Dr. Turek written a book in favor of same-sex marriage but a conservative employee had complained? Got a bit of a double standard? Or is that somehow different?
My purpose in writing is two-fold. First, I ask you to move to correct your culture of exclusion, which is falsely advertised as a culture of inclusion and diversity. Dr. Turek has been excluded now from earning a living with your company. Moreover, I am concerned about the thousands of conservatives, secular and religious, who are employees of the Bank. In my view, such totalitarian political correctness is immoral and un-American, and I doubt it engenders a climate of diversity and collaboration you champion.
Second, this story will be told beyond the confines of Townhall.com. I want to give you the opportunity to respond before it is.
I thank you for your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt reply. I can be reached at email@example.com.
Dr. Mike Adams
For those readers who recall Dr. Turek being fired as a vendor by Cisco for the same reason earlier this year, you may be wondering how these two cases are related. Since Bank of America fired Dr. Turek two days before I broke the Cisco story in my June 16 column titled The Cisco Kid, they could not have learned about Dr. Turek from me. It just seems that we have two bigoted California-based companies that independently seek to out those who believe what reasonable people have always believedthat the primary reason the government endorses marriage is not because two people of any sex love one another, but because only heterosexual unions can procreate and best nurture the next generation.
Unless Mr. Moynihan stops his companys unreasonable and un-American politically correct witch-hunt, Im closing my Bank of America account. Unreasonable, un-American bigots should not be handling my money. They simply cannot be trusted.
I contend that the reason that American corps are stagnating is that all of the execs. come from the same schools and learned the same lessons and will squash any original thought the moment it appears.
There is nothing so frustrating as working in a place that stifles individual initiative.
If an Ivy league education were a badge of shame, the country would be better off. I'd like to see people with a degree from Harvard working as roofers. Let the folks from community colleges run the big corporations; they would do a better job. Not joking.
if I hear these two words again...
There are a number of other large financial institutions that grovel for homo dollars in the name of "diversity," usually to the exclusion of any reasoned argument to the contrary. The environment they create for conservatives is anything but comfortable.
This will bless them in a very important way.
Namely, they will not have their money with the Bank of America.
Bank of America is one screwed up company. It thinks its primary purpose is to promote Marxist social justice pogroms—rather than be a responsible business institution to its shareholders and majority of its customers.
As is the case with societies Marxism ruins everything it touches so also is BofA being ruined. Instead of focusing on fixing its business it squanders its time and energy persecuting people who do not share its social views. What's next for BofA? I suspect it will be soon requiring its customers to be gay or sign a disclosure statement regarding their views on homosexuality. BofA will then accept only politically correct customers. Has all the makings of profitable business model.
Been a BofA customer for quite a number of years. Been watching BofA to see how it manages itself out of the sub-prime lending nonsense that got it into trouble in the first place. Seems the bank continues the bad behavior. On top of that it takes Onada's so-called stimulus money and banks it. Qualified borrowers need not apply at BofA.
With the recent announcement of BofA's pending bankruptcy and coming layoff of thousands of employees, I've been closing down my BofA accounts. Already transferred the bulk of my money to a local bank. Social security checks for my wife and I are now being sent to the new bank. Another very small retirement check should start going to the new bank next mailing cycle. Once that happens it's bye bye BofA and good riddance.
Roger that. It is not just BofA. Every corp is under the gun for this garbage. Whether they want too or not, they are afraid. They simply refuse to stand up and do what is right and not give into this crap because they are afraid of what it will do too their companies.
probably why That HYPOCRITE Buffet just poured BILLIONS into BofA.
I will bet my mortgage there is some sort of quid pro quo coming from Comrade Zero's regime for Buffet's Marxist article promoting higher taxes on the wealthy.
Many years ago when we were still making mortgage payments on our house the mortgage had been transferred by the previous mortgage holder to BOA, and why our payments were always made on time and were never late the bank had the audacity to raise the payments to more then double then what it was. We complained and they took it down again. Needless to say also is that we took a loan out with the bank we had at the time and paid the mortgage off 10 years sooner then it was due. We also paid the loan off. Now when i get a credit card offer from BOA it goes right through the shredder
You are probably right
I bank with another large bank, but I'll bet they have the same policy. It's pervasive.
Did you have an adjustable rate mortgage? Did they make an error in the adjustment? What excuse did they give to increase the payment?
Dr. Turek was fired because of his intolerance. The advocates of tolerance can not permit people like him to continue to spread their intolerant views. Therefore he must be fired. Perhaps the jackboot of tolerance should be applied to his face for good measure. Orwellian.
I think the guy should sue.
Buffett has all of his money in a TAX FREE SLUCH FUND FOUNDATION!!!!! He's a HUGE HYPOCRITE!!! He could write a check to the US Treasury for billions if he really wanted to.
BofA can't survive as they are entirely insolvent and Dr. Turek wouldn't have been there long anyway.
Anyone who has BofA stock should sell it now while it's up a bit because of Buffett. Thanks Warren.
Bank of America was instrumental and the deliberate prime mover in gifting our neighborhood with a Section 8 mega-multi-unit apartment complex some years ago. I don't ever recall there being any Board of County Commissioner hearings addressing the bank's application for the zoning requirements. It was like all of a sudden the damn thing was there. BofA provided every dollar for the financing of this project. Since that apartment community opened there have been unremitting trash dumping on the streets, grafitti attacks on power boxes and fences, drag races on the streets surrounding our subdivision at all hours of the night and early morning, and bands of roving teenagers walking through subdivisions (where they have no business being because they do not live there) defacing mailboxes with profanity scratched and etched into the metal boxes. This bank's lending policies are inimical to and destructive of traditional American values. How much I despise Bank of America for what it has done to our small community and our property values I could not print here without losing my posting privileges......
As a second lieutenant in 1964 I started banking with Mational Bank of Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX. Fort Sam was started by a group of military officers many years before, and was very supportive of military members. They saw me through lost pay records, Vietnam and other overseas assignments with great service UNTIL they were bought by NationsBank, at which point their service became just like any other bank. I closed out mt accounts before BoA bought NationsBank, and never looked back.
We do not have freedom of speech if some HR or management drone can pour over your writings and arbitrarily fire you if they find something they dislike. Just because you work for a private company should not give them the right to punish you for expressing an opinion unless they can PROVE that it has DIRECTLY interferred with their business. This is something I would like to see the ACLJ start promoting.
inclusion and diversity = lower your standards
Huh? The stock has shot up 30+% recently. Bankruptcy? What a joke. Buffet invested 5 billion in the company just days ago.... Check your sources.
BoA deserves a painful death.
Eff 'em, they screwed my family numerous times over some years ago and I'm surprised they lasted this long with their business practices.
I use a Credit Union. The service is orders of magnitude greater.
My current employer worships at the altar of diversity/inclusion.
It's tough having to deal with, but deal with it I do. I have my own ways of "resisting" and countering the BS.
Hmmmm..I have a BoA mortgage....maybe I should cut them loose....but who would respect my convictions?
All banks do that after a late payment report. Many have reduced credit limits to the balance over the last few years for no reason at all. But I still hate BOA and all tools of the homosexual agenda.
You need to be a bit wider read. Fact: BofA has not fixed its huge sub-prime lending problem (translation: it owns a mountain of debt that will never be repaid except, perhaps, by tax payers and no one will buy) and it continues to engage in the practice.
Buffet is manipulating BofA stock to make the company appear to financially healthy for his benefit and only his benefit. As for the stock market, there is nothing about it that reflects the actual value of anything these days. How can the DOW, for example, get to 1200 despite 20-25% unemployment (and rising)? What is fueling the demand for manufactured goods and housing that would drive the DOW up? Nothing. Why are pragmatic non-ideological investors moving their money to commodities with intrinsic value—like precious metals?
Don't know what world you live in. This country is an economic wreck. And it will get worse so long as the Usurping Marxist Onada occupies the WH. Things did change when the marxist Onada regime took over Washington. Too many people who should know better are pretending life in America is unchanged.
You can Google BofA-bankruptcy and BofA-layoffs. You'll find the credible sources where I got my info.
I suspect this "project" will ultimately be torn down after the people who live in it destroy it. Seems to be the natural course of events. It's what happens when ignorent people are given things they didn't earn and can't even afford.
I understand your frustration, but keep the faith. The reality of this "socially just" world the Marxists want to foist on us is becoming obvious much faster than I thought it would.
Sadly, it was probsably inevitable that we would have to go through this chaos so as to relearn what made America the greatest nation in the World. All of its success was taken for granted and even became despised. How dare we work hard and prosper. It was obviously at the expense of others.
Actually that is true. But it wasn't because they were Asian, African or whatever. It was because of the choices certain groups and societies made through the years that crippled them.

Amazing how 2% or less of the population is controlling the entire country. Of course, it's also true that the promotion of all kinds of immorality is one of the tools of the left to destroy society and remake it the way they want. The really amazing thing is that the rest of us who are not in the thralldom of the god of perversion are letting them.
Mike Adams tells it like it is.
If I'm not mistaken,Bank of America is Rockefeller owned. That would explain things, The Rockefellers have been funding subversion and perversion for generations.
I wish I had a Bank of America account so I could close it!
Why is this country jumping through hoops for 1-2% of the population?
Thanks for the ping.
I thank the Good Lord that my 50+ year working experience was, except for a brief one year stint with AT&T in the early 60s, spent working for small to medium size companies.
Rick Perry says corporations are people. I think corporations, by and large, suck because they have been invaded by the politically correct police.
I note this is a recent phenomenon and am thankful to be retired.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
With God, all things are possible.
If an Ivy league education were a badge of shame, the country would be better off. I'd like to see people with a degree from Harvard working as roofers.
Sad part is, you're right in many cases. In some decent jobs, Master's or a Ph.D. can be an over-qualification.
What is important to know is what kind of evidence an HR can try to use and prove that it is you that is posting, I mean, plenty of us go under pseudonyms, right? It used to be for me, that some things don't belong anywhere on the internet, either posted by you, or someone else that you might know.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Does anyone even remember this thing anymore? Actually, yes, apparently some folks do. Keep this in mind, future bloggers: not posting to your blog regularly is a crime punishable by death. That is, if my inbox is any indicator.
When I started this blog, I had the intention of keeping it regularly up to date with the anecdotes of an industry noob. Unfortunately, the nature of the industry (or at least, Certain Affinity) is to maintain radio silence on our work until the "Right Time."
The "Right Time" is an interesting concept. On the consumer side of things, the information comes, you digest it, and then move on to the next morsel, or wait for the topic that interests you most to crop up. Most people don?t even realize that developers are often told by their employees not to say anything about anything ever. Ever. But, it's true. For example, Certain Affinity has had a message in its office stating clearly that, with few exceptions, employees were to tell no one anything about what we were working on other than "an Xbox 360 title." I've gotten used to telling people "I can't say anything yet, but trust me when I say we're really busy!"
Busy, indeed. Not too long ago, it was finally announced that we're working with Valve on the Xbox 360 port of Left 4 Dead. Even more recently, it was announced that we're working on an original title called Plunder. It's a bummer that our only fan site went down during our silent period, because we're just starting to get talky. Having said that, however, there's still things I can't say. For example, details about Left 4 Dead that Valve or Turtlerock haven't already made public, or even the specifics of Certain Affinity?s involvement in the project.
What I can do, though, is summarize what the public does know for anyone that might not be familiar with the title. Left 4 Dead is a survival FPS with a strong emphasis on four player co-operative play. When I say "strong emphasis," I mean the co-operative nature of the game is intrinsic to completing the game. Mankind has been all but destroyed by an infection that transforms people into enraged killing machines. Four survivors band together to travel to safety. That's the high level description.
To be more specific, players can group together to play as the four survivors. Good survivors will learn to stick together as a unit, watch each other's backs, and keep calm when all hell breaks loose. However, as if to make their day worse, four players can choose to play as special Infected characters as well, each with unique abilities. Good infected players know how to work the chaos, or how to cause it, when they can.
And Plunder? It's an original RTS title we're working on alongside Left 4 Dead. Your goal, being a pirate and all, is to do pirate things, and out-pirate other pirates by doing pirate-like things. Also, pirates. That?s about all I get to say, I'm afraid, but you can pick up the April edition of EGM to find out a little more. Needless to say, we?re pretty excited about it and we think it's gonna be a hit, and not in that "Mom telling her ugly baby he?ll be president someday" sorta way. We're really proud of Plunder and we hope you'll like it to.
How nice to actually get to describe what I?ve been doing for the past year, finally! Of course, any questions that come my way are going to be met with the same wall of silence I've been giving the world since last June. There's still things I'm not allowed to talk about, after all.

Plea scheduled in Erie killing
An Erie man accused of killing his girlfriend in November is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges Monday in Erie County Court.
Court records do not indicate the terms of the plea agreement or whether Jeff Selby will enter a no contest or guilty plea.
District Attorney Jack Daneri declined to comment.
Selby, 52, faces a charge of homicide in the death of Mary Smith, 51. Selby is also facing trial on charges of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering and unlawful restraint in the attack on Smith, which Erie police said happened at her West 17th Street apartment Nov. 24.
Smith died at then-Saint Vincent Health Center three days after the attack, authorities said.
The Erie County Coroner's Office said she died of a lack of oxygen to the brain and that she suffered other injuries.

You are doing such a wonderful job with our site! Lawana McGuffey, Hosanna Ranch

For a free, no-obligation estimate for building your Website, please e-mail me. I do a lot of work without the need to meet face to face with my clients. That's the wonderful convenience of the World Wide Web.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Estimates are no-obligation; however, they are given with the understanding that the billing will be for actual charges. I try very hard to stay within the estimate, but it's not always possible to meet the limits. I will keep you informed if it appears that the costs will exceed the estimate.
|Why should I
have a Website?
Tell who and where you are and how to contact you.
Establish a presence in the on-line community. You'll find that you are expected to have an on-line presence these days. If you do not, you'll be considered "old fashioned" and out-of-step with not only the business community, but by your peers as well.
Communicate your message to current and prospective clients and customers.
Provide educational links for your clientele.
we will consider as we develop your website
1. Purpose for your website.
2. Name of company or organization, location, phone numbers, fax number, e-mail addresses.
3. Who are your customers?
4. In what way do you serve your customers?
5. Does your company have a statement of purpose? If not, do you want to develop one?
6. Recognition in the community - have you won any awards?
7. Does your company support any charities?
8. Are there other websites in your industry which would interest your customers and other web surfers, but wouldn't help your competition?
9. Do you have a logo? If not, one can be designed - extra cost to you.
10. Do you already have some printed brochures and/or newsletters from which we can work?
11. Will you want photos on the website? Do you have them already? Who will take them? I recommend that you have them - people will feel a connection to you if they've "met" you.
12. How about small photos and resumes of key staff members?
13. Do you want one page or a Home Page with sub-pages? The addition of sub-pages will be more expensive to develop but will allow you more flexibility in providing information.
14. How often do you plan to update your page?
15. Do you want a response form on your Home page, or will an e-mail click-on be sufficient?
16. "Bells and whistles" are nice and impressive, but only if you have a fast browser. More people than ever do, but still not everyone does, so using java applets, music and/or animated graphics may not be advisable; surfers will move on if your pages load too slowly. Relying on text for your the main points of your message will provide you with wider readership than will a lot of large photos and animated graphics.
A. You will need to sign up with a local Internet Provider (IP) and purchase enough space for a business site. you might see if you can start small and only purchase more space if it becomes necessary. If you want a dot.com (that is, your own "domain"), I can assist you ... there are additional costs involved. Example of a "domain" - mine is spaciousskies.us.
B. Your IP must allow uploading from remote locations.
C. You may want to arrange for more than one e-mail box on your site.
Basic services include:
1) Home Page, with sub-pages
if desired.
Additional services are available.
Spacious Skies Web Designs
(1) Free web space is available from several Internet sites.
(2) If you live in a metropolitan area, you may be able to get free access to the Internet.

Web Host Services
How will people find my Web site?
(1) Take advantage of the power of search engines by registering your page with your favorite ones.
(2) Send the link to your page to all the people on your list of e-mail addresses. Ask them to look at your page and then pass the link on to all their contacts.
(3) Most e-mail programs have a way for you to add a "signature" to each message you send out, so put a link to your page in your signature.
(4) Put your link on your business card, on your letterhead and in your ads.
Who can put pages on the Internet?
Anyone! Businesses, churches, nonprofit organizations, individuals, families, schools, clubs - you name it and it can be done.
You don't have to have a very big budget, because you can even put up a page on a free site, such as Angelfire, Tripod and GeoCities!
There are many reasons to create Web pages; for example, here are two children's memorials which I have put on the 'Net.

Matchbox Twenty keeps the customer satisfied
Rob Thomas made a promise early in Matchbox Twenty's Milwaukee set Saturday, to give the audience "the best tonight you could possibly have."
But for a significant portion of the two-hour set at the Riverside Theater, Thomas, his three Matchbox bandmates and two touring musicians didn't appear to live in the moment as much as in the past, specifically back in the late '90s and early aughts when the band's barely impactful but catchy pop rock were a resounding soundtrack of the era. »Read Full Article(6)

Fans recall what Paul McCartney — and the Beatles — meant to them
On June 18, 1942, a boy named James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool, England. He'd grow up and meet other chaps — John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr — and together as the Beatles, they'd impact the lives of countless millions around the world, and of people living in Milwaukee, during the '60s and the decades that followed.
McCartney has been active ever since, in Wings, as a solo artist and on the road. On Tuesday, McCartney will take the stage at a sold-out Miller Park for his first Milwaukee concert since 2005, to perform in front of about 40,000 spectators. »Read Full Article(2)
Optimist's Shakespeare: Try it, you'll like it
Two weeks ago, director Tom Reed had fully intended to make another round of cuts to Shakespeare's "As You Like It" — slimming the run time to just over two hours — before Optimist Theatre opened its production in Riverwest's Kadish Park. Am I ever glad that he had second thoughts.
When Optimist's press preview performance ended Thursday night — two hours and 45 minutes after it began — my aching body was screaming for a seat cushion and the ground on which I was sitting was wet with dew. »Read Full Article
