All competitions utilize small bore rifles and peep sights. The regular season ended with the District 11 championship match that was held at the Laward 4-H Center's Shooting Range in Lolita. However, shooting competition is not over for senior team members. Senior team members qualified for a shot at the state championship title and will compete at the state level matches to be held June 8-9 in Victoria.
Shooters fit into one of four classifications: Junior Shooter ages 9-10 or a junior shooter may qualify at age 8, if he is in the third grade, Jr. Intermediate are ages 11-12, Intermediate ages 13-14, and Senior shooters are from age 15-19.
The shooting season usually begins in January and classification is determined by a shooter's age on Sept. 1 of the previous year. Three shooting positions are utilized: prone, standing and kneeling. Junior shooters shoot all prone targets, Junior intermediate shooters shoot two prone and one kneeling, and intermediate and senior shooters will shoot all three positions.
Senior team members for the 2012-2013 season were Amanda Coffey, Chris Rivas and Martin Rivas. Only shooters in the senior classification participate at state competition and must qualify for state by finishing in the top three teams at the district competition. As previously stated, the Beeville Shooting Sports senior team qualified for competition at the state level and compete in the state matches that are scheduled for June 8-9 in Victoria. The public is welcome to attend the state competition. State competition will be held at the Victoria Shooting range located at the 4-H Center on Foster Field.
The Beeville 4-H Shooting Sports Club has been in existence in Bee County for many years. The primary goal of the club is the same as all 4-H programs; to help youth develop leadership, citizenship and life skills. That goal is accomplished in a number of ways.
Throughout District 11, there are shooting sports competitions and through these competitions and the rigorous preparation for these events, the youth learn self-discipline, safety, particularly gun safety and, of course, shooting skills. Beeville Shooting Sports 4-H Club members also learn that even though winning is good, the spirit of camaraderie and the friendships developed by meeting others with common interests far outweighs a win at all costs.
"These young 4-H Shooting Sports Club members have become excellent competitors in shooting sports competitions, and they have the ribbons and trophies that demonstrate that they are true winners," said coach Chuck McCameron.
Beeville Shooting Sports 4-H Club officers are elected, and all meetings are conducted by the youth, under the supervision of adult leadership. The club has been fortunate to have support from parents and relatives. Parents, guardians, grandparents and other family members provide support by assisting the certified coaching staff. All youth between the ages of 9 and 19 are invited to join the Beeville Shooting Sports 4-H Club.
The club manager is Austin Brown III. Certified coaching staff are Austin Brown III, Chuck McCameron, Lee Farias and Esther McFall. Youth and parents of youth that would like to join the Bee County 4-H Shooting Sports Club should contact Austin Brown III at (361) 597-0373 or e-mail to: email@example.com.

Visitors to the new Dublin-area apartment complex called the District are greeted by three touch-screen monitors that allow them to search for a new apartment by size, style and color packages.
The monitors offer a clue that this complex is wired a bit differently.
Here, door keys are a thing of the past. Instead, residents receive fobs that also provide access to the complex's fitness center and allow staff members to check whether a resident's door is locked.
And, in one of the models, prospects can explore Time-Warner's IntelligentHome service, which allows subscribers to control a variety of home systems — such as security, lights, thermostats and cameras — through a smartphone or tablet.
Tenants interested in the service must pay a $100 installation fee plus $33.99 a month, but property manager Erin Wilson said prospective tenants are enthused about the service.
"A lot of people want it," Wilson said. "They seem to like being able to check their lights and thermostat from their phone."
Key fobs and IntelligentHome aren't the only unusual features of the District, which will offer 228 apartments.
In addition to traditional suburban apartment buildings, the complex includes buildings that resemble homes but include two apartments: a two-bedroom on the ground floor topped by a three-bedroom two-story loft.
The District also includes carriage house units, in which apartments sit above garages.
"We wanted something out of the box," said Brent Wrightsel, president of Vision Development, the Upper Arlington firm that built the District.
In all, the complex's 228 units come in seven floor plans ranging from $995 for a one-bedroom/one-bath unit to $1,950 for the three-bedroom/two-bath loft units. All units have 9-foot ceilings, kitchen pantries, washers and dryers, and either patios or balconies. Covered parking is available at an extra cost.
Workers are completing the complex's first phase of 114 units, and Wrightsel said work is expected to begin on the second phase in February.
When the complex is finished, amenities will include a pool, a dog park, a community garden, a fitness center, a clubhouse and a carwash.
The District is among several new complexes in the Dublin-Hilliard area.
Just north of Hayden Run is Edwards Communities' Strathmoor complex.
On nearby Britton Parkway, Lifestyle Communities' LC Brooklands complex is being built.
"I think the market's stable here," Wrightsel said. "There's nice job growth in the Dublin area and still a lot of pent-up demand here."

Dry AMD
If you have dry AMD, the National Eye Institute (NEI) recommends that you have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year and ask your eye care provider if high dose supplements would help delay the advancement of the condition.
Because dry AMD can turn into wet AMD at any time, the NEI recommends you get an Amsler grid from your eye care professional and use it every day to test your vision for signs of wet AMD. This is how NEI recommends you use the Amsler grid: Check each eye separately; cover one eye and look at the grid, then cover your other eye and look at the grid. If you detect any changes in the appearance of this grid or in your everyday vision, call your eye care provider.

Resume: Ubiquitous and pervasive computing is fundamentally transforming product categories such as music, movies, and books and the associated practices of product searching, ordering, and buying. This paper contributes to theory and practice of digital payments by conducting a design science inquiry into the mobile phone wallet (m-wallet). Four different user groups, including young teenagers, young adults, mothers and businessmen, have been involved in the process of identifying, developing and evaluating functional and design properties of m-wallets. Interviews and formative usability evaluations provided data for the construction of a conceptual model in the form of sketches followed by a functional model in the form of low-fidelity mockups. During the design phases, knowledge was gained on what properties the users would like the m-wallet to embody. The identified properties have been clustered as 'Functional properties' and 'Design properties', which are theoretical contributions to the on-going research on m-wallets. One of the findings from our design science inquiry into m-wallets is that everyday life contexts require that evaluation criteria have to be expanded beyond "functionality, completeness, consistency, accuracy, performance, reliability, usability, fit with the organization, and other relevant quality attributes" [12] that are used within current design science work.

Sociomateriality Made ResearchableHedman, Jonas; Srinivasan, Nikhil; Lindgren, Rikard (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this paper, we point to the potential and implications of digital traces as novel data source in the study of contemporary activities and behaviors. We do this to raise awareness of IS researchers of such traces in increasingly complex sociomaterial practices. We develop a two-dimensional framework of data sources (subjective/objective and digitalized/non-digitalized) for analyzing a six-year literature survey comprised of five leading IS journals. The analysis positions current data sources employed within the framework, and sheds light on the under utilization of digitalized data sources. This disconcerting result suggests that IS researchers must pay more attention to the changing landscape of data sources. To motivate and guide fellow colleagues to establish the credibility and reliability of digital traces, we develop a future research agenda that covers both opportunities in theory generation and challenges in data collection.

A case Study of SAPAntero, Michelle C.; Hedman, Jonas; Henningsson, Stefan (Frederiksberg, 2013)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The ERP industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past decades due to changing market demands, thereby creating new challenges and opportunities, which have to be managed by ERP vendors. This paper inquires into the necessary evolution of business models in a technology-intensive industry (e.g., develop new offerings, engage in partnerships, and the utilize new sales channels). This paper draws from strategy process perspective to develop an evolutionary business model (EBM) framework that explains the components and processes involved. The framework is then applied to a longitudinal case study of SAP to explain how its success in a technology-intensive industry hinges on its ability to reconfigure its business model. The paper contributes to the extant literature on business models in two ways: first, by identifying and explaining the need for an evolutionary perspective; and second, by adopting different value configurations to reflect the convergence of customers, suppliers and vendors.

A Repertory Grid AnalysisHolst, Jacques; Kjeldsen, Martin; Hedman, Jonas; Tan, Felix B. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Over the last decade, we have witnessed payment innovations that fundamentally have changed the ways we pay. Payment innovations, such as mobile payments and on-line banking, include characteristics or features that are essential to understand if we want to know how and why payers choose among payment innovations. Using the Repertory Grid technique to explore 15 payers' perception of six payment instruments, including coins, banknotes, debit cards, credit cards, mobile payments, and on-line banking, we identify 16 payment characteristics. The characteristics aggregate seventy-six unique features. Many of the characteristics and one of the categories are completely novel and unaccounted for in previous works.

Carton, Fergal; Hedman, Jonas; Damsgaard, jan; Tan, Kay-Ti; McCarthy, JB (Como, Ita., 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper derives a theoretical framework for consideration of both the technologically driven dimensions of mobile payment solutions, and the associated value proposition for customers. Banks promote traditional payment instruments whose value proposition is the management of risk for both consumers and merchants. These instruments are centralised, costly and lack decision support functionality. The ubiquity of the mobile phone has provided a decentralised platform for managing payment processes in a new way, but the value proposition for customers has yet to be elaborated clearly. This inertia has stalled the design of sustainable revenue models for a mobile payments ecosystem. Merchants and consumers in the meantime are being seduced by the convenience of online and mobile payment solutions. Adopting the purchase and payment process as the unit of analysis, the current mobile payment landscape is reviewed with respect to the creation and consumption of customer value. From this analysis, a framework is derived juxtaposing customer value, related to what is being paid for, with payment integration, related to how payments are being made. The framework provides a theoretical and practical basis for considering the contribution of mobile technologies to the payments industry. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8348

10 1/2 might be a little early. It depends. Each baby is different. I think they say 12 mos because by then, in most cases, a baby's digestive system is ready to handle dairy.
Our daughter got a full 8 oz bottle of cows milk shortly after her first birthday. She was constipated the next day. We weren't sure if it was the milk, so we didn't give her any more until a few weeks ago and now she only gets one bottle that is half, though we're going to be making that 2 soon.
Have you called a his pedi and asked if they have a LC that works with their office? Many pedi's will at the least have an IBCLC they either work with directly or they can refer folks to. Most insurance doesn't cover them but some do. They should have some info or know where to point you.

The event will begin at noon and will be held on the first floor of the building, located at 380 East 1500 South in Heber. Rob Allen, Vice President of the rural region will be the keynote, with lunch and the sledge hammer event to follow.
"We are so impressed with the generous donations we've received to fund the dialysis project," said Amy Tuddenham, communications director for the rural region. "The generosity of our community amazes me. We would like to thank everyone who has contributed."
"We value the support we have received from the community with our dialysis fundraising," said Robert Hicken, Heber Valley Medical Center board member. "We want them to know how much we appreciate it and that we are wise as we plan these services for patients in our community."
The hospital and the foundation have been aggressively raising money for a dialysis center since October of 2012. "This actually started years ago when Donna Giles approached the hospital and asked if there was any possibility of opening a center in the valley," said Tuddenham. "At the time she was traveling 3 days a week for dialysis treatment, those treatments last an average of 4 – 5 hours a day, excluding the travel time."
For most of us a trip down Provo Canyon is really nothing; however, for those dealing with a chronic health condition they are likely consider the travel challenging for both them and those who drive them down the canyon for care.
"Part of Heber Valley Medical Center's mission is to bring appropriate healthcare services to Wasatch County," said Shawn Morrow, Administrator at Heber Valley Medical Center. "Being part of the Intermountain system ensures the services we provide are delivered at the same national standard you expect with an Intermountain Healthcare Hospital.
Heber Valley Medical Center will begin renovation on the building after the event, with hopes of finishing the center in February 2014.
"According to schedule we will begin construction in mid-November and open in February," states Morrow. "It is a very aggressive schedule, but we want this center open. We have quite a few patients in need of this service."

James Peter McPherson's Diary. 2011 June 28: A Chimney Sort of Question
James Peter McPherson and family arrived in Madison, Wisconsin in mid-May 1850. The family was comprised of J.P, his wife Mary, three sons (William, Jabez, & James who was my great-grandfather) and baby daughter Ann. I read with interest how he worked at cutting logs for his house in Springdale; fussed that the cold weather was coming on and he was just getting the thatch on the roof; felt like a housewarming when they moved in on December 2nd of 1850; and shivered in cold anguish when the thatch blew off in a biting, cold Wisconsin wind storm. Neighbors pitched in, roof fixed, and I dinna think much about it.
Spring planting, turned into summer work and fall harvest --- and I just kept on transcribing in a voyeur-sort of way. Then in late October of 1851, old J.P. writes about putting up his chimney! Putting up his chimney?? What in the world was he using all the previous winter. Then the true reality of life in 1850 in rural Wisconsin, where you built your home with logs and a thatched roof, finally sunk in. They had no chimney, any more than the sod houses on the prairie had no chimney. A firepit for warmth and cooking and the smoke drifted out through the thatch.
At that moment, I realized that I have been watching the lives of pioneers unfold before my eyes -- but now, I had to put myself in that time and place, with no assumptions of what life was like for my great-great grandparents in that time and place.
I am so looking forward to all of the new wonderment to unfold, for the living history of this diary to tell me about the roots from which I come.
3 comments:
Nothing like a diary to bring out the voyeur in us! I can feel your excitement when reading about the McPherson family in the 1850s, reading his actual words from 160 years ago--putting yourself in his cabin with his family, cutting logs, planting, harvesting. I, too, am in possession of numerous diaries, letters, artifacts -- dating back to the end of the 19th century--and that's what I'm sharing on my blog. So I totally identify with that inability to pull yourself away!ReplyDelete
I just found your blog from Google-ing my great-great-great grandfather's name: James McPherson. My great-great-grandfather was Jabez McPherson. Thank you for the information!!

'Her smile and her laugh': Family, friends, remember Carly FerroBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | September 29,2012Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rutland High School golf coach Rich Alberti was one of the speakers during a celebration of life service Saturday at the Rutland Country Club. Ferro, pictured on right, was a very talented golfer. Rev. Erica Baron of Rutland's Universalist Unitarian Church is also pictured.Stories about Carly Ferro keep coming back to her smile and her laugh.
More than 200 people packed into a room at the Rutland Country Club for Ferro's memorial service Saturday. The 17-year-old Rutland High School senior was killed Wednesday in a car crash on Cleveland Avenue in Rutland; a local man faces criminal charges, including manslaughter, in her death.
The service included two musical performances — a Shostakovich piece Ferro had been working on with the RHS advanced orchestra and a slightly altered version of "I Love You This Big" by Scotty McCreery, who Ferro had gone to see at the Vermont State Fair.
Two collections of photos greeted family and friends as they arrived, one showing Ferro as a baby and another set of more recent pictures assembled by the RHS Key Club, of which she was a member.
Ferro was also an avid golfer, and her bag and clubs sat in the front of the room, propped up beneath a large portrait.
"I know, when you close your eyes and you remember Carly, what you're going to remember is her smile and her laugh and that giggle — oh, Lord, that giggle," Ferro's aunt, Agnes Ferro, said. "It was infectious."
Michael Carmolli, one of Ferro's teachers, also called her laugh "infectious." He remembered coming across Ferro and two of her friends in the school lobby, laughing so hard they could barely stand.
"I had no idea what they were laughing about, but I couldn't help but start laughing myself," he said. "She would giggle and she would cackle and she would howl and she would snort every once in a while, and it was wonderful."
Carmolli recalled an older girl admonishing Ferro to quiet down, telling her, "your laugh is so weird."
"She just said 'yup' and kept on laughing," he said.
One friend talked of Ferro's smile welcoming her when she was new to the school. Another described the smile roping him into helping decorate for a dance, then attending the dance, then actually dancing at the dance.
Other people talked about how competitive Ferro was from an early age, what a hard worker she was and how she wholeheartedly threw herself into community service projects.
The Rev. Erica Baron of the Unitarian Universalist Church talked about how difficult Ferro's death was, given her kindness and the senseless way she was killed.
"We know it is not the natural order of things and we know there is nothing I can say to make it better," she said.
However, Baron said every act of kindness reverberates, and Ferro's life will continue to have a positive effect on those who knew her, and they will, in turn, have a positive effect on others.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

How does an exclusive pumper wean?? My schedule is as follows:
1) 5:30 a.m. before work
2) 10:30 a.m. at work during a break
3) 4:00 p.m. after picking up baby from daycare
4) 10:30 p.m. before lights out for me
I am an exhausted mommy. Pumping takes a lot out of me. I feel and look drained after each session. My baby will be a year old on January 14th. I've been exclusively pumping since she was three weeks old. I never want to see that pump again after I finish giving my baby her liquid gold. I would love to go on and on but I just can't picture myself married to that pump for much longer. Has anyone exclusively pumped out there? I really want to hear from those of you who have experienced this phenomenon because it really is one. None of my breastfeeding friends have a clue to the amount of work and time commitment exclusive breastpumping is. Please let me know your exeriences and suggestions if you have done this beyond a year...

Makeover: Kitchen & Cabinet Updates
Watch the kitchen and cabinet facelift video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine and get expert tips and advice from Rachael Ray's design buddy, Evette Rios.
-Check out our new improved cooking area. Remember the giant hole back here from that auxiliary fan. We'll we pulled it out. We patched up the hole. Now, it looks nice and seamless because we added a brand new range hood. This was $50, but it's gonna make such a huge improvement in their kitchen. It's got working right. It's go a working pan and that will make cooking so much easier. We've added new burner plates, again $10 for 4 of them, but look how nice and clean the range top looks and Rachael is gonna love this. We've added a pull out trash can right by the stove. So when you got the trash, you can toss it right in here and remember this electrical panel and how hideous that wood thing was. I turned it into magnet board. Now, she can have all of her everyday with Rachael Ray recipes right at her fingertips and check this out, it still allows access to the electrical panel, which is really, really important. You don't wanna cover that up, and now her spices are here at her fingertips, so she can grab her spices, throw them in the recipes. I think the kitchen turned out pretty great.

Offseason Is On: Infield Acquisitions?
Nothing much is happening in the world of the Yankees, as I've become accustomed to all winter long, but I feel like writing something. Actually, "nothing" is "something" for the Yankees this offseason.
Lately, it seems that even the non-exciting moves aren't happening. When I thought of Japanese players that the Yankees would win the rights to negotiate with, I had my fingers crossed for Yu Darvish to be that guy. No. Although starting pitching was, as Cashman has tirelessly noted, the team's number-one priority this offseason, they didn't go wholeheartedly for Darvish, or for any other top starters, for that matter.
But what the Yankees did do, was they won the bidding for exclusive negotiating rights for Japanese shortstop, Hiroyuki Nakajima. Since the Yankees are playing the fiscal responsibility card this offseason, that's probably why Nakajima appealed to them. They won his bidding with just $2 million.
Now I wasn't excited about this at all, I mean aren't there enough suitable utility infielders that already have Major League experience that they could have gone after? Why go after Nakajima?
Oh well. On Thursday, it became official that the Yankees had not reached a deal with Nakajima, so he's going back to Japan, and the Yankees get to keep their $2 million.
I wonder, though: will they spend it?
$2 million isn't enough to get a #2 starter, that's for sure. But they do need a backup corner infielder, so why not bring back Eric Chavez? I know they signed Jayson Nix to a minor league deal in November, but Chavez is a better value in my eyes.
I was extremely pleased with Eric Chavez last year. Although me missed a huge chunk of the season with that foot injury, he produced in the 58 games he did participate in. He hit a respectable .263 avg with 2 HR and 26 RBI. More importantly, Chavez played perfect defense, ceasing to make any errors at third base or first base. One thing I like about Chavez is that he knows his limits. Even though he's just 33, he understands that his role now will most likely be a part-time player, because he's very fragile and has been worn down by various injuries over his 14 year career. He's fine with being a bench player.
I definitely think the Yankees should bring him back. He's a quality veteran ballplayer who when healthy can be productive at the plate, and his smooth defense is a guarantee. And he only cost $1.5 million last season. The upside is huge for Chavez, I mean why didn't they bring him back yet? Not for anything, he also happens to be one of the most handsome men I've ever seen on the baseball field. He looks fabulous in the Yankee pinstripes.
My tone towards the Yankees organization this offseason has been one of disinterest, simply because I'm getting bored with predicting what they're going to do – or what they're not going to do, rather. It's getting annoying. So they probably won't bring back Eric Chavez, simply because it makes a ton of sense to do so…
The winter is wearing thin now! I want to see some baseball!
2 Comments
Some big moves were made today Ms. Virginia, I know we lost your guy Montero but I think it was worth it….. Kuroda gives the Yankees a solid starter in the 2,3,4 spot..
To Quote my friend Delia Enriquez:
Dear Red Sox, Surprise…we got 2 new pitchers. Prepare for a pinstripe beating. Sincerely, Yankees fans

Is This The New Face of Jazz?

When a 14 year old says clap and a sold out room of people of every age does so willingly, something is happening. Her name is Nikki Yanofsky and while her audience could have easily been attending a performance of Wicked, they chose to come to the Montreal Jazz Festival. And this kid is choosing to sing jazz. She sings her lungs out. Maybe not her heart, cause quite frankly at 14, she doesn't have the right to sing the blues, but the audience didn't care one bit. She reminded me of reading Julie Andrews writing about her life as a 12 year old phenom in England- she could hit every note, but she had years to go before she learned how to sing. I am prepared to wait.
And then I listened to an audience full of people singing happy birthday to Hank Jones who is about to turn 90 this month. Michael Bourne was with me and he has already eloquently described the Jones and Jones experience. Hank Jones and Oliver Jones treated me to an evening that I may never get to witness again. And Nikki Yanofsky gave me a clue to what I have to look forward to in the future.
But the shining star of the evening was our divine Dee Dee Bridgewater. Gutsy. Beautful. After her show, watching the line of people waiting to meet her as she signed autographs at Archambault ( the hidden gem of a media store in the Place des Artes), personified the meaning of adoring fans. Dee Dee glowed. They loved her French, her English, her spirit.
I went to three different concerts. A night of jazz in many forms. And I loved every minute of it.
Newark Arena -- Kid's Report
January 8, 2008. Posted by Grey Johnson.Add new comment | Filed under: best night of my life, concerts, detroit ignition, goalkeeping, hockey soccer, membership manager, new jersey ironmen, newark, nj ironmen, professional soccer game, soccer field, soccer player, WBGO Community Events
WBGO staff were invited to attend a game at the new Newark Arena as guests of the NJ Ironmen. Membership Manager Grey Johnson brought his ten year old daughter and avid soccer player, Georgie. This is her report.
I went to the Newark Arena last night to see a professional soccer game. Let me tell you something, it was the best night of my life! The teams were the New Jersey Ironmen against the Detroit Ignition. Unfortunately, the NJ Ironmen lost. But the competition was still great! The soccer field was huge but the teams were very good at the passing, goalkeeping and kicking, [they could kick the ball across the whole field with one kick!] I loved this building, everything is so modern! They do concerts, hockey, soccer, and more in this building. When I heard this news, I wondered how they changed the arena from a stage into a soccer field into an ice rink in only two hours! Luckily, I came across a woman who worked at the arena that could tell me the answer. She said that the soccer field was a rug that people roll up after the game is over. Under that soccer field, is a coat of ice, and under the ice is wood. If they want to make it into a stage, they melt the ice and put in a stage. Everyone was very nice to me too.

Contactless Payment Technology Drives Vending Machine Revenue
TouchGo Technology combines flexible contactless and contact (no pin) payment options, an interactive touchscreen and high definition video, enabling vending operators to increase the number of transactions and average sales per transaction.
Vending machine operators are looking for ways to reverse the decline in sales over the past few years. This trend is evidenced by three years of falling U.S. vending machine sales, including a three percent drop in 2010, according to the "State of the Vending Industry Report" published by Automatic Merchandiser*.
In an effort to buck this trend and help to accelerate vending sales, TouchGo Technology supports several new vending machine innovations that increase customer-engagement and the number of available customers. For example, vending operators can serve more customers with contactless payment technologies, such as Visa payWave* and MasterCard PayPass* cards that allow customers to "Tap & Go" —no pin number entry required. "With payWave and PayPass contactless sales, the average transaction value has gone up by 25 to 30 percent over sales through a cash-only-based vending machine," says Per Hovland, managing director at TouchGo Technology.
EMV*-based contactless payment also creates a paradigm shift: from making customers pay before choosing an item to allowing them to pay after selecting multiple items; customers can also use coupons and coordinate purchases with other nearby machines. Now it's easier and more fun to buy multiple items. A vending purchase is often an impulse buy, which is aided by payment flexibility and dynamic merchandising.

As of Friday, both my husband and mine credit was pulled for pre-approval. We have pretty good credit scores my mid score was 752 and his was 667. However, there is a collection account that is on his credit with dispute comments. We have no idea where these comments came from as we never disputed the item. Instead of the LO telling me on Friday that this would be an issue, she just sent me our credit reports and never said anything.
As of today, she told me that we needed to have it "taken care of". I had no idea what "taken care of" means. Does this mean that we should pay it or should we try to get the comments deleted. Her response was you can do one of the other.
I am so confused and she is offering no help, she didn't even know that we already signed a contract with the Castle Rock Homes. I already feel like she is not going to be helpful in the process at all, but we were sent to this lender by the Castle Rock and if we are financed with them, the Castle Rock will pay our closing costs.
Can someone tell me what we should do? How do we begin to even get the dispute comments deleted?
You need to know which report the comments are listed, then call up the credit report people and ask them to remove it.
Takes about 30 days.
It's $952.
I would negotiate payoff with CA and try PFD. It never hurts to try!!!
I would start off by finding a different LO. They can't exactly tell you what to do, but they can at least give you some options and try to guide you. The bank you are going through probably wants that paid off, but with your credit scores, you can definitely find a bank that will give you a loan and not need you to pay that off. I would shop around some more if you have the time. Best of luck
Try a PFD and if that doesnt work ask the LO if underwriting requires it to be paid off or last option you could go off your income and credit only if your income is good enough to support the DTI
Ok.So today we contacted the agency and I paid a settlement for half of the balance. The CA told me that they would fax me a letter on tomorrow saying that the account had been paid and that they report to the credit bureaus the first of every month. She also told me that I can take the letter and send it to the credit bureaus to try to get a speedy deletion.
I hope I did the right think and I'm keeping my finger's crossed.
I would love to go with a different lender, but in order for the home builder to pay our closing costs we have to go with the lender that they choose...Ughhh!!! So far I am not impressed with the LO, but I'm going to reach out to her on tomorrow.

Onorato, Airport Authority Announce Letter of Intent with Xi´an Xianyang International Airport for Air Cargo Development
PITTSBURGH — Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato, Allegheny Conference on Community Development CEO Mike Langley, and Allegheny County Airport Authority Chairman Glenn Mahone today announced the signing of a letter of intent with China's Xi'an Xianyang International Airport to establish a strategic air cargo partnership. The letter of intent, seen as the first step in building an "Air Silk Road" between Xi'an and Southwestern Pennsylvania, was signed last week when representatives from the Allegheny County Department of Economic Development, Allegheny County Airport Authority and Pittsburgh Regional Alliance met with Xi'an officials in China.
"The signing of the letter of intent is a first and critical step in establishing air cargo routes between Xi'an and Pittsburgh," said Onorato. "Pittsburgh International Airport is well positioned to serve as a major hub for Chinese business and logistics, and this agreement opens the door to great opportunities for our region that could mean more jobs, commerce and development."
In April 2007, Onorato led a delegation of local business leaders on a trade mission to China, which included stops in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai to meet with Chinese business leaders, state officials and other decision makers, as well as representatives of more than one dozen Pittsburgh-based companies currently doing business in China. The mission, dubbed Opportunity China 2007, was the first of its kind to the Far East in more than five years and is part of a long-term, multi-year strategy that aims to expand export activities to China and promote the strengths of businesses in the Pittsburgh region to potential Chinese investors. The signing of the letter of intent was a direct result of the trade mission in April.
The next step in the process is a visit by representatives of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport to Pittsburgh International Airport to begin discussions and perform due diligence.
"China officials recognize Pittsburgh International Airport's capacity to handle all types of aircraft, our accessibility by air, rail, land and water, and the availability of cargo facilities," said Mahone. "Increasing air freight and trade with the U.S. is a priority for China, and the development of this 'Air Silk Road' to Pittsburgh is a priority and will require a great deal of work and collaboration with the business community and government leaders."
The County and Airport Authority will establish a task force to focus on the China air cargo opportunity.
"Today's announcement shows that economic trends – such as a growing number of exports – and opportunities for investment are converging to make our region a potential global center for air cargo services," said Langley. "From the improved infrastructure in the airport area to thousands of acres of pad-ready sites to the cargo capacity at our world-class airport, we have laid the groundwork for new investment in the logistics and distribution strengths our region has to offer the global market."
Allegheny County has been using state and local funding to install sewer lines, water lines and service roads in undeveloped land around Pittsburgh International Airport to create shovel-ready business sites. Currently, there are 2,000 acres of shovel-ready land available for development, including Clinton Commerce Park, Route 30 Industrial Park and Imperial Industrial Park.
Pittsburgh International Airport is located within 500 miles of nearly half the population of the United States and Canada, as well as nearly half of U.S. business markets. The airport also offers access to 63 percent of the industrial output of the United States by overnight truck or one-hour flight. More than 5,000 acres of the airport are designated as a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ), including the airport's fuel farm, which offers significant fuel savings and an extra advantage for cargo shippers. Pittsburgh International also provides easy access to major highway systems, three class-one railroads, the nation's second busiest inland port, and more than 200 air and surface freight companies.
Xi'an Xianyang International Airport is the largest airport in north central China, and one of China's top 10 airports overall. Due to Chinese western expansion, passenger and cargo flights are increasing rapidly. Xi'an Xianyang International Airport is within a two-hour flight of 75 percent of China's land mass and 80 percent of its economic resources. Currently, the airport connects to 79 other cities domestically and internationally.
Xi'an is the eastern terminus of the ancient Silk Road, a 5,000-mile-long trade route that linked the Roman Empire in the West with imperial China in the East. In the late 13th Century, Marco Polo became the first European to travel the entire route to China during a visit to the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan.

Snowe talks progress, failure of Congress at Hauenstein Center event
Posted on December 13, 2013
Former Republican U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe criticized Congress, extolled the virtues of public service, and stressed the importance of bipartisan cooperation at a well-attended event hosted by Grand Valley's Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies on December 12 in the Eberhard Center.
The event, "Fighting For Common Ground," addressed shortcomings of cooperation on both sides of the political aisle, and made note of the consequences of failing to do so.
"The kind of environment that exists today in Congress makes getting things done almost impossible," Snowe said. "It's a 'scorched earth' approach to politics. It doesn't advance the needs of the country, but it advances a political agenda."
Snowe said that considering the problems she thinks the country is facing, it's irresponsible of legislators to spend time pandering to growing extreme wings of both political parties when they should be focusing on issues impacting a majority of their constituents.
Snowe described her priorities as a legislator during her time in office, saying taking action for the good of the country was always first, for the good of the state second, and the good of the party third.
"We cannot continue to allow ideological absolutism to dominate the political landscape," Snowe said. "We cannot allow the furtherance of the concept that compromise is the same as capitulation. If we can't move legislation forward, we can't move the country."
The ongoing dysfunction in Congress was a main topic, and Snowe cited several statistics that demonstrate the general public's overall dissatisfaction with the lack of bipartisan work being done.
"The price of uncertainty has had an impact on the average American," Snowe said, citing studies that legislative gridlock has had a direct influence on the recovery from the 2008 economic downturn. "It matters what action Congress takes on basic matters that impact the American people."
Snowe left Congress to be part of a solution to problems, she said, and works with the Bipartisan Policy Center to encourage voters to engage with their elected officials.
"I'm passionate about changing the tenor of government. It wasn't always this way, and doesn't have to be this way," Snowe said. "It's important to make changes now so that this gridlock does not become embedded in the culture and become the norm. We can defeat the machinery of partisanship, and reignite the passion for effective lawmaking that we've seen in the past."

When FreeBSD 5.2.1 appeared, the differences in diskless operations from
branch 4.x were so great that the handbook needed revising. That correction
occurred recently, so the ISO image of the FreeBSD-5.2.1-Release, written on
25.02.2004, included the obsolete version, which applied to FreeBSD-5.1 (at
best). Besides, the guide doesn't cover everything; the steps to build the
server-diskless stations are a maze of variants of
realizations, technologies, and descriptions of differences between FreeBSD
While trying not to miss the multitude of the possibilities, I've concentrated on only one method to install FreeBSD-5.2.1-Release as a server for diskless clients. For the sake of precision, I have illustrated the process with a concrete example.
As I've confined myself to a single alternative, it's important to lay out some conditions. First, the method here differs from the canonical version in the way it uses rc files in the FreeBSD distribution. For example, diskless stations won't put their file systems in virtual memory; instead, they will use NFS to mount file systems as read-only (/ and /usr) and read-and-write (/etc and /var).
Second, I'll use FreeBSD-5.2.1-Release server for the entire process, along with the following software:
If I don't specify otherwise, install the software from ports.

BSD Hacks
The diskless stations will use the address pool of 192.168.1.10 through 192.168.1.254. The hostname will follow the format "diskless-<the-last-IP-address-octet>", so the hostname "diskless-101" refers to the test diskless workstation (Intel Pentium-90, 16Mb RAM, LAN Intel EtherExpress-100 PXE) with IP address 192.168.1.101/24. I'll used this station for all examples.
The main point of the problem is to send a FreeBSD kernel over the network to the computer while it boots. The handbook mentions two ways to do it:
net/etherboot and
net/netboot) and the web sites of
Both PXE and Etherboot use BOOTP or DHCP to receive information about
network addresses. The difference between the two is that PXE uses TFTP to fetch
a much smaller program for
pxeboot, which then itself loads the kernel by NFS
or TFTP, while Etherboot uses TFTP or
NFS uploads and boots the kernel from the server.
Nowadays, it's easier to buy a new net card supporting the PXE specification than it is to burn PROM into an old adapter, so I'll skip the methods to boot diskless clients using Etherboot or Netboot. I'll only say that it's far easier to set up Etherboot then Netboot for loading the FreeBSD kernel. PXE is the easiest of all, because it doesn't need any additional software.
When loaded on a diskless station, a FreeBSD kernel mounts the root file
system on the resource of NFS-server and calls
/sbin/init (or a
likely substitute, such as
oinit, or
sysinstall), mounts
devfs on
/dev, executes the
/etc/rc script, and forks a
getty process for each
relevant terminal device listed in
The script /etc/rc, which finishes the booting procedure and starts the main system daemons, is worth mentioning. This script is important for this variant of diskless booting for one more reason. While running /etc/rc, the system needs to substitute one of the diskless client's file systems.
For the sake of saving space on the server hard drive, I've decided to share the root file system for all the diskless clients. That's why it's more reasonable to mount it read-only. As an unfortunate result, /etc will be the same for all of the diskless stations and accessible only for reading. In order to provide the flexibility of creating individual /etc directories for every client, I placed a special operation in /etc/rc to mount the stations' /etc in read-write mode.
It's possible to do the same with the default FreeBSD rc scripts, though they'll store /etc in virtual memory. This isn't very good, in my opinion, because the RAM is doubtless the main and often scarce resource for all diskless stations. That's why I used a different approach. For more information, see the scripts /etc/rc.d/initdiskless and /etc/rc.d/diskless.
Installing a diskless station itself requires little effort and only consists
of mounting a PXE-supported network card into the computer case. Then, in
accordance with the particular station equipment, you have only to choose the
right order of the booting--"boot from LAN," in our case, either in the
computer's BIOS in the menu of the LAN adapter itself. On the test station,
where the BIOS didn't support booting from LAN, I had to do the configuration
through the menu of the network adapter. In order to access the menu of the
network card, I had to press
Ctrl-S while booting the diskless station.
Now it's clear that the set up's principal work takes place on the server. It's time to configure the server.
To set up FreeBSD as the diskless station server requires configuring NFS, DHCP, and TFTP. The sequence of this configuration doesn't really matter, but let's follow the logic of the boot process and select this order: DHCP, TFTP, NFS.
Install the server as usual, with one small change. To place the client file systems, allocate two separate partitions, one for "reading only" and the other "reading and writing." Mount these file systems into the following directories of the root file system of the server:
In the future, the server will export these file systems with the proper permissions to the diskless clients over NFS. If you can't use these special partitions as the diskless clients file systems, don't make a mistake of putting them on the same physical file system of the server. It would be better to choose subdirectories in /usr, /home or /var. For example, if /usr and /var are different file systems on the server, the client directories can be /usr/diskless_ro and /var/diskless_rw. Such allocation of files corresponds to the NFS specification, which I'll mention again when describing the configuration of the NFS server.
The first thing required to boot a diskless workstation remotely is to supply it with the information about its IP address, subnet mask, the place of the root file system, and so on. You have a choice of a BOOTP or DHCP server.
Nowadays, BOOTP is rare in comparison with its successor DHCP, so I'll confine myself to the modern alternative. Besides, anyone interested in the configuration of the classic BOOTP server can read about it in the handbook.
For the DHCP server, I use ISC DHCP (
isc-dhcp3), which also supports the
BOOTP protocol. The basic FreeBSD distribution doesn't include the ISC DHCP, so
I installed it from ports. The installation usually resembles:
server# cd /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3 && make install clean
Every diskless client will have NFS shares for writing, so it doesn't make sense to change IP addresses from time to time. In the DHCP server configuration, disable dynamic IP address distribution. Instead, use DHCP in the BOOTP mode (DHCP for BOOTP clients, in the terminology of ISC DHCP).
The main configuration of the DHCP server lives in the file /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf. Edit this file in order to make the simple configuration. As there is only one server and one subnet, almost all of this information goes into the global parameters section:
# Server is authoritative for the subnets.
# Disable dynamic DNS updates.
ddns-update-style none;
# Send the client the "hostname", specified in the option
# "host" in the host declaration.
use-host-decl-names on;
# Set the default gateway.
option routers 192.168.1.1;
# The server from which to upload the initial boot-file.
next-server 192.168.1.2;
# The file to load from the "next-server".
filename "pxeboot";
# The shared root file system of diskless workstations
option root-path "192.168.1.2:/diskless_ro";
# Network definition. There are no options because of
# dynamic distribution of IP-addresses is disabled.
# But DHCP refuses to load without this line, so we
# can't remove it.
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { }
# Diskless station definitions: we must specify
# hostname, IP and MAC addresses for each client
host diskless-10 {
# Hostname which will be sent to the client because of
# "use-host-decl-names on"
# Ethernet-address of the workstation LAN adapter
hardware ethernet 00:0D:9D:8B:BB:48;
# Workstation IP-address.
fixed-address 192.168.1.10;
host diskless-101 {
hardware ethernet 00:0C:29:74:2B:35;
fixed-address 192.168.1.101;
host diskless-254 {
hardware ethernet 00:02:B3:8A:D6:BF;
fixed-address 192.168.1.103;
Now start the DHCP server:
server# /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd
If it loads successfully, you'll see a message similar to this:

Run this to start DHCP at boot time:
server# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
server# mv isc-dhcpd.sh.sample isc-dhcpd.sh
server# chmod 755 isc-dhcpd.sh
There are three pieces of information that the clients need to know to download the appropriate booting code from the TFTP server:
option root-path: The location of its root file system on the
remote NFS server.
next-server: The address of the TFTP server from which clients
must receive files to continue booting.
filename: The name of the file to fetch from the TFTP
A little later, they also need the
root-path option to load the
kernel and mount the root file system. For now, the PXE LAN adapter of the
station automatically tries to use two of the other parameters to continue
booting. The pxeboot(8) file is a modified version of the
loader(8), which runs on the third stage of the FreeBSD booting
process (see the handbook for more details about the boot procedure). As the
diskless client expects to fetch this program via TFTP, it must be exist on the
server at 192.168.1.2.
The FreeBSD distribution includes a TFPT server, so you do not need to
install additional software. The daemon is
tftpd and usually
starts from
inetd. To start TFTP server, create a special
directory of /tftpboot and copy
pxeboot there:
server# mkdir /tftpboot
server# cp /boot/pxeboot /tftpboot
Add the following line into /etc/inetd.conf:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
-l switch turns on the logging of TFTP operations. The
-s switch specifies the root directory for
after it calls
chroot(). For more details about
chroot(), see
man tftpd(8) and
The server is ready to run after you restart
server# killall -HUP inetd
If everything is okay, the command
server# sockstat -4l | grep 69
will return results similar to this:
root inetd 556 5 udp4 *:69 *:*
After the client successfully downloads the pxeboot file,
according to the
root-path option, it'll try to connect over NFS to
the /diskless_ro directory of the server 192.168.1.2 to find the
root filesystem with an appropriate kernel there.
You can also configure
pxeboot to upload a kernel with TFTP.
This will allow you to boot different diskless stations with different kernels.
In that case, you need to recompile
pxeboot with the option
LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES in /etc/make.conf. See also
the handbook and /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf.
I confined the example network to using one kernel for all the workstations. As a consequence, I set up the NFS server to export the proper directories. As the name implies, the directory /diskless_ro should export as read-only. The diskless_rw directory contains subdirectories specific to each client for its writing. Each subdirectory must itself contain the special etc and var directories. For example, the test diskless workstation will have its own directory, diskless_rw/192.168.1.101, with two subdirectories named /diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/etc and /diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/var.
The directory /diskless_ro should be empty, while /diskless_rw contains something like:
Besides these two exports, the diskless station will use /usr from the server in read-only mode.
In order to let the diskless station use all of these directories, you must configure the NFS server accordingly. Add the following lines to the file /etc/exports on the server:
# file systems accessible only for reading:
/usr -ro -maproot=0 -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/diskless_ro -ro -maproot=0 -network 192.168.1.0
-mask 255.255.255.0
# file systems accessible for writing. All the resources
# given to every diskless station are specified by one line:
# Diskless-10
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.10/etc /diskless_rw/192.168.1.10/var \
-mapall=root 192.168.1.10
# ...
# Diskless-101
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/etc /diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/var \
-mapall=root 192.168.1.101
# ...
# Diskless-254
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.254/etc /diskless_rw/192.168.1.254/var \
-mapall=root 192.168.1.254
Then change /etc/rc.conf to start the NFS server while the system boots:
You may also need to change the
nfs_server_flags variable:
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 48 -h 192.168.1.2"
-n switch is very important here. It specifies the number
nfsd daemons that regulate the NFS, which influences the number
of the NFS clients that can connect simultaneously. Tune this parameter
according to the number of clients. The
-u and
switches turn on UDP and TCP.
-h binds the daemon to a network
Now, start the NFS server by hand (so as not to have to reboot the server):
server# rpcbind
server# nfsd -u -t -n 48 -h 192.168.1.2
server# mountd -r
After the NFS server starts correctly, check the exported file systems:
server# showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/usr 192.168.1.0
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.103/var 192.168.1.254
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.103/etc 192.168.1.254
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/var 192.168.1.101
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/var 192.168.1.101
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/etc 192.168.1.10
/diskless_rw/192.168.1.101/etc 192.168.1.10
/diskless_ro 192.168.1.0
It is not a good idea to place diskless_rw and diskless_ro within the same physical file system because NFS doesn't export the directory but the whole file system. In /etc/exports, every line represents of the export of one server file system to one or several clients. For each exported file system, you can specify the same client only once.
For example, if diskless_rw and diskless_ro occupy different file systems, then this /etc/exports will be correct:
/diskless_rw 192.168.1.101
/diskless_ro -ro 192.168.1.101
A mistaken /etc/exports might be:
/usr/diskless_rw 192.168.1.101
/usr/diskless_ro -ro 192.168.1.101
If diskless_rw and diskless_ro are directories of
the same file system /usr, an error will occur while exporting
them to the same clients, which will prevent them from mounting
diskless_ro. The rules demand that you specify both resources,
/usr/diskless_rw and
/usr/diskless_ro on one line, so
you have to decide whether to make them both accessible for reading only or for
both reading and writing.
Nevertheless, you can deceive the
mountd daemon by using
IP address ranges instead of hostnames. For example, here's another mistaken
version of /etc/exports that will execute successfully:
/usr/diskless_rw -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/usr/diskless_ro -ro -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.0.0
In this case, the server will successfully export /usr/diskless_rw and /usr/diskless_ro. As this configuration handles the whole file system and not only the directories, the subnet 192.168.1.0/24 will be able to mount both /usr/diskless_rw and /usr/diskless_ro in read-write mode, so there are security risks.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Both Obito and Sasuke sounds like true avengers to me it's just their method are completely different.
It should also had a Third Option called Both.

It has to be Sasuke. He is trying to get revenge for the entire clan because the Leaf brass forced his brother into the position. Obito has no reason to avenge the clan. He's only getting revenge for himself. What's 1 to 100?
Obito did more than Sasuke in seconds
To the Obito fans, did you forget about Sasuke's fight with the Raikage and all those samurai? That was his first time using MS in a fight too? Obito is out to get the whole world, Sasuke is just out for Konoha, but then again, Obito is out for a genjutsu peace, Sasuke wants to annihilate the leaf village!

this last chapter just showed how badass obito is but he isnt an avenger until he takes out kakashi
Sasuke is still the true avenger i think even obito said that in the manga if im calln back right but im not 100% sure. So no disrespect

How is Obito an avenger? Who is he avenging? EXACTLY

ohh then i guess death is not a serious thing, lets say that if your mom was killed and u saw it and u had a chance to avenge your mom would u do it??

Obito isn't an avenger but the way he went rampant because of Rin was way exceptional, Sasuke is nowhere near Obito now....(since the MS)

do you do that now? when someone died did you blame the world and try to destroy everything. no, you most likely cry like naruto did and continue on with life.
Can't say yet.
sasuke takes this one

What you just typed here isnt fact. Obito didnt attack Minato out of vengence. LITERALLY, Minato stood in his way! He used an infant naruto as hostage to gain access to kushina. if he wanted revenge he would have just taken Naruto. loosing your son is the ultimate revenge. and he would have just killed Kakashi right there and Rin's death would have been "avenged"
Sasuke is the Avenger here, at least until we know more about Obito, his reason as it stands-is a little weak compared to Sasuke's reasons.
Really hard to say my vote goes to both.

not a fair comparison. Sasuke's first time out with the MS was againt the 5 Kages and not a group of mist ninjas.....Geez I can't believe Im defending Sasuke here. Dont let this latest chapter and Obito's awsome handling of his MS cloud your thinking. Obito is a Tyrant not an Avenger. he as seen beyond the vengance to a bigger twisted picture.
but yes! this is a really good thread....if maybe a tad early to really tell.
