CHESTER MARSHALL AND RICHARD WHITBY, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF OTHERS SIMILARLY SITUATED, PLAINTIFFS,v.AMSTED INDUSTRIES, INC. AND AMSTED RAIL COMPANY, INC., DEFENDANTS.
Four months ago, two individuals -- Chester Marshall and Richard Whitby (Plaintiffs) -- filed a class action complaint in this District Court against Amsted Industries, Inc. and Amsted Rail Company, Inc. (collectively referred to as "Amsted"). Plaintiffs allege that Amsted employs hundred of hourly-paid workers at a foundry and manufacturing facility in Madison County, Illinois (within this Judicial District), that Amsted violated the wage and hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 216, et al., that Amsted violated the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (IMWL), 820 ILCS § 105/12(a), and that Plaintiffs (and other similarly situated employees) are entitled to recover unpaid wages and overtime compensation from Amsted. Plaintiffs allege that the two named Amsted Defendants form a single integrated enterprise and maintain a joint-employer relationship (Complaint, Doc. 2, p. 4).
The complaint is comprised of three counts. Count I pleads an optin "collective action" under the FLSA, brought on behalf of the two named Plaintiffs (Marshall and Whitby) and all similarly situated hourly employees who worked for Amsted within the last three years. Count II purports to proceed as a class action under the IMWL and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 (for the same class of persons). Count III purports to proceed as a class action "under Illinois common law" (alleging unjust enrichment) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 for all similarly situated hourly employees who worked at Amsted within the last five years.
Defendants timely answered the complaint on March 12, 2010 -- asserting numerous affirmative defenses (e.g., Counts II and III are completely preempted by the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 141, et seq., Count III is completely preempted by the FLSA, Plaintiffs' claims are barred by applicable statutes of limitation, Plaintiffs' claims are barred by the provisions of the Portal-to-Portal Act, 29 U.S.C. § 254, and Plaintiffs lack standing to assert some of the claims against Amsted).
Also on March 12, 2010, Defendants moved to dismiss Counts II and III under Rule 12(b)(1) for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or, alternatively, to strike Plaintiffs' class action allegations in Counts II and III as "fundamentally incompatible with [Plaintiffs' FLSA] collective action" (see Doc. 48, p. 1).
Amsted's three-page dismissal motion was supported by a 21-page memorandum of law and over 200 pages of documents (excerpts from various collective bargaining agreements, sworn declarations, etc.). Via response filed March 30, 2010, Plaintiffs challenge the merits of Amsted's dismissal motion. For instance, Plaintiffs maintain that a determination of preemption is "premature at the motion to dismiss stage," that the LMRA cannot be read so broadly as to preempt non-negotiable rights conferred on individuals under state law, and that Plaintiffs' state law claims are not incompatible with an FLSA action.
Nevertheless, Plaintiffs consent to dismissal of Counts II and III without prejudice, since the "Rule 23 state law claims will not serve a significant material purpose in this litigation," given the "strength of Plaintiffs' FLSA claim" (Count I)(Doc. 61, p. 3). Amsted did not file a reply brief addressing Plaintiffs' March 30, 2010 response (perhaps because such briefs are discouraged by the Local Rules of this District, perhaps because Amsted agreed with Plaintiffs' "consent" to dismissal of the two counts which were the subject of Amsted's dismissal motion).
The Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in part Amsted's March 12, 2010 motion (Doc. 48). The Court GRANTS the motion in that it DISMISSES Counts II and III of Plaintiffs' complaint (the claims based on Illinois state law) , leaving only Count I (the federal/FLSA collective action).
The motion is DENIED only in that the dismissal shall be without prejudice. Plaintiffs shall file a First Amended Complaint (restating only the federal FLSA claim) no later than June 7, 2010.
At the time the action was commenced here, the two named Plaintiffs (Marshall and Whitby) furnished consents to be party plaintiffs to an FLSA action, and the complaint indicated that 65 other hourly-paid employees had consented to join the action (see Doc. 2, p. 3), each of whom worked at Amsted's Granite City facility. These consents were provided with the original complaint (Doc. 2, Exhs. 3-6). Since then, a stream of additional consents has arrived, bringing the number of Plaintiffs in this action to approximately 235.
Plaintiffs' counsel shall either list each Plaintiff who has consented to date in the caption of the amended complaint or, preferably, attach to the amended complaint one document containing a numbered list with the names of each Plaintiff who has consented and the document number in the cm/ecf docket sheet/record where that consent can be found. For instance:
1. Chester J. Marshall (see Doc. 2-1, p. 2)
2. Richard Whitby (see Doc. 2-2, p. 2)
3. Kenneth Cole (see Doc. 2-3, p. 2)
4. Anthony Bean (see Doc. 2-3, p. 3), etc.
This list will be helpful to the Clerk's Office, counsel, and the undersigned Judge as the action proceeds.
Plaintiffs shall file the First Amended Complaint by June 7, 2010. Defendants/Amsted shall answer within the time provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a).
By motion filed April 7, 2010 (Doc. 65), Plaintiffs move this Court to (1) conditionally certify this case as an FLSA collective action, (2) authorize Plaintiffs to send notice under § 216(b) of the FLSA to all current and former hourly employees of Amsted's Granite City facility who worked any time during the past three years (excluding supervisory, technical, clerical and "plant protection" employees), and (3) order Amsted to provide a computer-readable data file with the names, last known address, employment dates, and job title for each such employee and to post notice of this case conspicuously in the break rooms of the plant.
The undersigned Judge has set a briefing schedule on Doc. 65 -- Amsted's response currently is due May 17, 2010, and Plaintiffs can file a short reply brief (no longer than 7 pages) by May 27, 2010 (see Doc. 68). Additionally, the undersigned Judge now SETS AND IN-COURT STATUS CONFERENCE WITH COUNSEL for 2:00 pm on Wednesday, July 7, 2010.
The July 7th setting is not a hearing on class certification but rather an opportunity -- once the amended complaint has been filed -- for the undersigned Judge to meet with counsel to address procedural and scheduling issues in this action.

The top of the class DM-720 includes high quality recording features packed into an efficient, smart metal body. It is equipped with an easy-to-use interface, extended editing operations and various playback functions. The DM-720 provides outstanding practicality and reliability to support your recording needs.High-quality recording
"TRESMIC" Three-microphone system for superior sound
The DM-720 features a three microphone system that includes both directional and omnidirectional microphones to faithfully capture the depth and fullness of the sounds recorded. This Tresmic combination provides a wide frequency range for the most demanding professionals.
Using the latest technologies, zoom microphone unleashes the power of proximity in noisy environments or when recording from a distant position. The zoom microphone allows you to expand and contract the microphone range by adjusting the direction with the "+" and "-" buttons on the recorder.Compact recorder with 48 kHz/ 16 bit linear PCM recording
Create high quality recordings using linear PCM format. While this feature may exceed everyday business needs, when selecting this bit rate and sampling frequency, users can readily make CDs of their own recordings.Automatic sensitivity adjustment with Intelligent Auto Mode
The Intelligent Auto Mode function automatically adjusts the microphone sensitivity according to the input level. This function makes it easy for users by automatically adjusting the microphone sensitivity according to the volume of the speaker.Low-cut filter eliminates extraneous noise
The low-cut filter is used to eliminate sound at frequencies lower than 300 Hz during the recording process. By cutting the lower frequency sounds during recording your audio is free of background noise and distortion during playback.Playback functionsCreate meeting minutes efficiently with Voice Playback
The Voice Playback function allows you to skip non-voice parts during playback, and only play the parts of the file where there is vocal content. Voice Playback saves time and improves efficiency during transcription.Voice Balancer delivers audio quality that is easier to hear
The Voice Balancer function works during playback, the volume of recorded voices is adjusted to make dialogue easier to hear. When voices are at different volume levels due to the distance and physical relationship to the recorder, the Voice Balancer automatically makes smaller voices louder, and ensures that louder voices stay below a given level, providing playback where everyone is audible.Noise cancellation for clear playback quality
The noise cancellation function powerfully reduces unwanted ambient sounds such as air conditioner noise or projector fan noise to enable clear playback quality.Create meeting minutes efficiently with "Transcription mode"
Transcription mode comes in handy when creating minutes from recordings. While transcribing, users frequently repeat play, and stop to check the text. In Transcription Mode, the recorder will automatically playback the 3 seconds before the stop, so you can check the contents before proceeding. On the other hand, fast forward is preset to 3.5x so you can skip the silence in your recording.Effective language learning through Speech Shadowing
Speech shadowing is an effective technique to learn foreign language by repeating the subject right after hearing it. This mode helps you learn languages by having the audio playback, and then silently playback repeatedly, so you can easily practice speech.

Alas... the haunting has begun!! Haunted attractions are opening their doors all over the world. Although Universal's Halloween Horror Nights is one of the most publicized haunts in the nation, there are several other amazing haunts worth mentioning.
Fan favorite, Netherworld, in Atlanta, Georgia is one of the busiest haunted attractions around. Operating from September 23rd to November 5th, with event ticket prices ranging from $23-$35. This year's Netherworld haunts include: Monsters and Vault 13: Meltdown. It has even been nominated as one of the Top Haunts in the Country by USA Today's 10best! http://fearworld.com/
Rob Zombie's Great American Nightmare, in Villa Park, IL, is another great haunt. Housing three attractions based on Rob Zombie's films, as well as carnival rides! Attractions include: Captain Spaulding's Clown School in 3D, The Devil's Rejects and 31. Operating dates are September 25 to November 1st and prices range from $25-$70. http://greatamericannightmare.com/
Mckamey Manor is by far the closet you can get to feeling like you are the star of a horror movie. A waiver is presented for guests willing to go through this 8 hour experience. Since actors are given the freedom to touch and "torture" guests, anything is possible. Each guest is also filmed the whole time. If you enter this attraction with a partner, chances are you will be separated from them. Talk about scary!! This year there are three locations, New Jersey, England and their main location in San Diego. Operating schedule and pricing are given privately through email or by phone. However, with an extensive wait list of over 17,000 people, you might want to just visit Mckamey Manor on Youtube for now. http://www.mckameymanor.com/
Last but not least is a local Orlando haunt, The Shallow Grave! With over a 1/4 mile of scares and screams, The Shallow Grave has been getting a lot of attention lately. Like, Netherworld, it has also been nominated as one of the Top Haunts in the Country by USA Today's 10best! Operating from September 25th to November 5th, with a ticket price of $24.99 and a Quick Death Pass price of $39.99. Haunts this year include: Vengeance: Blood Moon and Pavor Norturnus. With their elaborate sets and top notch scares, The Shallow Grave is a force to be reckoned with and a definite must see in Orlando this fall! http://www.theshallowgrave.com/index.html

Robinson's achievement
Posted by
Wednesday, April 24. 2013
Comments (0)
Before he triumphed over prejudice, Jackie Robinson triumphed over himself.
The signal achievements of the pioneering baseball star, whose story is recounted in the top-grossing biopic "42," were perseverance and self-control. In the face of hatred from fans and opposing players, he showed no anger. In response to isolation from his teammates, he betrayed no self-pity. He went out every day and swung the bat and ran the bases and fielded his position, and displayed the character that his detractors lacked.
"42" is a paean to discipline and to an ethic that has eroded badly in American sporting life, and in our national life in general: "Please, don't express yourself or feel sorry for yourself, don't make excuses, don't worry about what someone else is doing or saying, just go out and do your job."
The first meeting between Robinson and Branch Rickey, when the team honcho broached making him a Brooklyn Dodger, with all the pressure and abuse that would entail, is one of the most mythogenic episodes in baseball history. Rickey shouted insults at Robinson and demanded to know how he would respond to such provocation. Robinson asked if Rickey wanted a player who lacked the guts to fight back. Rickey responded, "I want a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back."
As a young man stationed at Camp Hood in Texas during World War II, he got court-martialed. One day, Lt. Robinson refused to move to the back of the bus when the driver told him to, and exploded in rage when the driver called him "n-----." He was arrested, but eventually cleared of all charges.
Rickey hadn't sought out a shrinking violet. "He wanted someone big enough and strong enough to intimidate, and someone intelligent enough to understand the historic nature of his role," Jonathan Eig writes in his book "Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season." We never would have heard of Robinson, of course, if he hadn't been a supremely gifted athlete (Rickey wanted to win the pennant, as well as do right). But baseball history is full of those; it is Robinson's dignity when confronted with so many indignities that sets him apart.
Baseball then had a distinctively Southern flavor that could make even players who were white ethnics feel uncomfortable. A contingent of Robinson's own teammates wanted to boycott him, and so did rival players. He couldn't stay in some of the team's hotels. He got death threats. During all of this, he slumped and thought about quitting, but kept on going, and eventually his talent spoke louder than words.
A legendary image -- memorialized in a bronze statue outside the ballpark of the minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones -- is of Kentucky-born Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese draping his arm around Robinson on the field, in a gesture of support and in a rebuke to hostile fans. It may or may not have happened that way. But it's hard to make a statue to the essence of Robinson's accomplishment, to the lonely resolve one at-bat and one inning at a time.

Shared Lots with Undivided Interests - Properties, including condominiums, with legal descriptions that read "An undivided ½ (or 1/3,) interest in and to Lot. . . . ." are NOT eligible for mortgage insurance. If requested to do an appraisal on a property with this kind of legal description, the appraiser should REJECT the property as the lot is not considered a Fee Simple entity. The lender should be notified of the Reject as soon as it is determined.
Excess Land - Excess land is defined as that which is larger than what is typical in the neighborhood AND capable of a separate use. Generally, the excess portion can be subdivided and marketed as an individual parcel. However, in small communities and outlying areas, appraisers must use different criteria because the market may accept a wide variance in lot sizes. If the plot contains excess land, the appraiser should describe it but not value it. In this instance, the appraisal is based upon a hypothetical condition. A legal description of the portion being appraised is required. The lender will require that the excess land be excluded from the mortgage security.
Nonresidential Use - Any nonresidential use of the property shall be subordinate to its residential use and character. A property, any portion of which is designed or used for nonresidential purposes, is eligible only if the type and extent of the nonresidential use does not impair the residential character of the property.
Areas designed or used for nonresidential purposes shall not exceed 25 percent of the total floor area. Storage areas or similar spaces which are integral parts of the nonresidential portion shall be included in the total nonresidential area. HUD Handbook 4905.1 Rev-1, Section 2-6.
On 203(k) mortgages, the percentage floor area used for commercial purposes follows these standards:
One story building - 25 percent
Two story building - 49 percent
Three story building - 33 percent
Move-Ons - See HUD Handbook 4150.1 REV-1, Section 12-6 for instructions.
This procedure applies only to stick built homes. Manufactured homes (mobile homes) are not eligible for FHA Insurance if they have moved. The only movement acceptable for manufactured homes is from the factory to the dealer and then to the site. Once there it must remain. It may be jacked up to have a permanent foundation installed. See the section on Manufactured Housing.)
Homes moved without prior approval.
A house which has been moved to a new foundation without prior HUD approval is to be treated in the same manner as proposed construction. That is, if it has been on the new foundation for less than one year, it would be eligible for only a low ratio loan; if it has been on the new foundation for more than a year, it should be treated as any other existing construction over a year old and be eligible for a high ratio loan.
If a house, covered by HUD insurance, is moved without prior approval, whether emergency or non-emergency, the move is made at the risk of the mortgagee. Any damage which may occur to the house during the move will be the responsibility of the mortgagee.
The 203(k) program is available to assist an applicant to move a house.

Wishing (Remix)
DJ Drama Feat. Fabolous, Trey Songz, Tory Lanez, Jhene Aiko & Chris Brown
DJ Drama's "Wishing" originally featured Chris Brown, Skeme, and Lyquin, but only Chris remains for the remix, which adds the all-star cast of Trey Songz, Tory Lanez, Jhene Aiko, and Fabolous. Like Khaled's "Hold You Down," it makes a solid argument for the R&B crew track, giving each of the singers their own verse, while Fab remains the sole rapper of the bunch, opening things up before things get syrupy and melodic.
DJ Drama Feat. Lil Wayne
Lil Wayne's Dedication series was huge for Lil Wayne, but it was arguably even bigger for its host, DJ Drama, making for some of his most successful and beloved Gangsta Grillz releases to date. Now that Drama is releasing a proper album with Quality Street Music 2, he called upon Wayne for the intro, as Weezy sets the tone of the project just as Dram did on so many of his. The track also finds Wayne in prime form, recalling his work on Dedication 2. It premiered on Ebro's Beats 1 Radio show.
Body For My Zipcode
DJ Drama Feat. Young Life, Freddie Gibbs & Dave East
DJ Drama brings together a few hardened rappers from across the country for his threatening collaboration "Body For My Zipcode"-- each rapper repping a different zip code, ostensibly. Young Life is perhaps the least familiar name of the bunch, as a Compton up and comer, although he makes up the majority of the song. Meanwhile Gangsta Gibbs holds it down for Indiana, and Dave East is Harlem's own.
Boyz In The Hood
DJ Drama Feat. Meek Mill, Pusha T & Ty Dolla $ign
DJ Drama is getting to release Quality Street Music 2, his first album in four years, on July 22. "Boyz in the Hood" didn't make the cut due to Meek Mill's outstanding legal issues, but it is a truly soulful track that bodes well for the rest of the album. It features Meek, Pusha T, and Ty Dolla $ign. This track will serve Meek well in particular as he repairs his slightly injured reputation.
DJ Drama Feat. Chris Brown, Skeme & LyQuin
DJ Drama is finally ready to begin the roll out for the follow-up to his 2012 album, Quality Street Music. The ATL DJ released the first single off Quality Street Music 2 this morning, rounding up Chris Brown, Skeme and up & comer Lyquin for the smooth, bedroom-jam ready "Wishing."
Tied To The Whipping Post
King 810 Feat. Freddie Gibbs
Well this is definitely something new. Flint, Michigan metal band King 810 are releasing a mixtape with DJ Drama, titled Midwest Monsters 2, a sequel to their 2012 mixtape. Why would a signed band release a tape with a rap DJ? Features we're assuming, as "Tied To The Whipping Post" pairs the group with Gary Indiana's own, Freddie Gibbs.
Khalil's Song
Skeme Feat. BJ The Chicago Kid
Today it's our pleasure to announce Skeme's next project, Ingleworld 2, and bring you the first track from it. It's called "Khalil's Song" and features BJ The Chicago Kid.
I Might
Jeezy Feat. Rich Homie Quan
Last night, Jeezy surprised us by dropping a new DJ Drama-led mixtape, Gangsta Party. Most surprising about the release were the features Jeezy and Drama compiled on the tape, tapping all the young talent in ATL and beyond. With Gangsta Party, Jeezy's campaigning for the youth vote while still keeping his boss mentality in check.
Rico Richie
When DJ Drama comes around with a new artist, we know to give him the necessary looks. His latest, Atlanta's Rico Richie, doesn't disappoint with "Poppin," produced by 808 Mafia's Southside and fellow ATL mainstay Squat Beats. The production is way harder than your average club beat, though still conducive to poppin' bottles and anything else in sight. Richie's main talent lies in his energy, and he delivers a menacing hook that'll stick with you for a long time: "If you ain't got no haters you ain't poppin." Believe that.
Snootie Wild Feat. Yo Gotti
Snootie Wild may have delayed his new mixtape, Ain't No Stoppin' Me, but today he makes sure the fans aren't going hungry with a new leak off the tape. The project was supposed to drop last week but now has a release date of May 14th. For "12," we hear Snootie and his CMG labelhead Yo Gotti drop bars about their favorite number, relating every day shit to that magic number (twelve). Reazy Renegade provides cold production and DJ Drama blesses the track with one of his infamous intros and outros.
Play Wit A Brick
Snootie Wild
Snootie Wild's currently working on a new mixtape with DJ Drama, which should be exciting news to his fans. It's called Ain't No Stoppin Me, and today we get the first taste in the form of the pummeling "Play Wit A Brick."
HashTag 2015
T-Pain is back in a big way. Last night, the rappa ternt sanga (who's now doin' it all) performed a stunning total of 42 songs at The Fader's SXSW showcase, which coincided nicely with the leak of a new song with OG Maco.
Whole Thang
DJ Scream Feat. FAT TREL, Young Dolph & Project Pat
DJ Scream knows how to break records, and as a result, he knows how to put one together. We've seen him assemble crew records before, always taking the chemistry of the rappers involved into account, and providing the right production for the collab. Most recently, he brought the aggressive quartet of Que, Gunplay, Waka Flocka , and Tracy T together for "Always", and today he's supplied a similarly effective record.
Real Rap
Yo Gotti Feat. Jadakiss
Yo Gotti just announced that he's readying a mixtape hosted by DJ Drama, Concealed, which the rapper plans to drop randomly this week (no release date will be set). However he still wanted to let fans know what's coming, and so Gotti leaked a cut off the mixtape today, calling upon Jadakiss for "Real Rap." Both raspy-voiced MCs reminisce about the good ol' days over a soulful sample.
Right Back
DJ Drama Feat. Young Thug, Jeezy & Rich Homie Quan
It looks like DJ Drama is gearing up for a new album, as he sends us over a new single to premiere this afternoon. The lead single from his upcoming effort, "Right Back," enlists Young Thug for the hook, and Rich Homie Quan and Jeezy for verses. You may recognize the production as Teyana Taylor used it for her "Dreams Of Fuckin An R&B Bitch" record which we posted last night.
QC Addiction
Migos Feat. Skippa Da Flippa & MPA Duke
"QC Addiction" is a choice selection from Migos and DJ Drama's new Solid Foundation compilation, a special instalment in the latter's ongoing "Gangsta Grillz" series brought you to by the former's Quality Control Music imprint, colloquially known as "QC The Label". QC affiliates Skippa Da Flippa and MPA Duke guest star over production from DJ Suede.
Drop A Diamond
Lloyd Banks Feat. Raekwon
Listen to Drop A Diamond, the new track by Lloyd Banks featuring Raekwon which was dropped on Sunday, October 13th, 2013. Lloyd Banks's odds keep getting better with each new leak, and Drop A Diamond will undoubtedly improve his chances of winning. It's a worthy addition to a respectable catalogue that has seen a lot of growth since Lloyd Banks debuted in this game. We're looking forward to the follow-up.
Drama, Holla At Me
Check out Drama, Holla At Me - Privaledge, the latest from Privaledge. The track was released on Thursday, October 10th, 2013. Privaledge's chances in this game are improving with each new release, and Drama, Holla At Me - Privaledge is no exception - quite the opposite, in fact. It's a nice addition to the impressive catalogue Privaledge has been building over the years. We're definitely anticipating the next move.
You Song
Lil Wayne Feat. Chance The Rapper
Things are improving for Lil Wayne with each new offering, and You Song is certainly no exception. It's a worthy addition to the Lil Wayne's catalogue, which has seen much evolution as of late. We're definitely anticipating the next step.
FDB (Remx)
Young Dro Feat. French Montana, T.I., Trinidad James & DJ Drama
Bump FDB (Remx), the latest cut from Young Dro featuring French Montana, T.I., Trinidad James & DJ Drama on the assist. It was released on Monday, August 26th, 2013. Things are improving for Young Dro with each new offering, and FDB (Remx) is certainly no exception. It's a worthy addition to the Young Dro's catalogue, which has seen much evolution as of late. We're definitely anticipating the next step.

Chris Brown reportedly had a bumpy trip to Cannes Film Festival following an encounter with police at Miami International Airport on Monday. According to a report from TMZ, police were summoned to the airport after the pilot of a private jet Brown was traveling on smelled marijuana on the plane. No arrests were made, but Brown and his crew were reportedly kicked off the flight. One of Brown's friends even chronicled the whole ordeal on Snapchat. "We got kicked off the jet for smoking loud," he wrote.
You can check out his snaps below via TMZ.
Brown responded to the TMZ report by posting an Instagram video denying the fact that him and his fellow passengers were smoking on the plane. "How the hell we in Cannes if we got escorted off a plane?" he asked in the video. "One, marijuana smoke on a plane? I think we learned our lesson. I don't think we really need drugs on the plane."
He also accused the pilot of the private jet of asking members of his entourage for cocaine. "You should probably check with the pilot, because he definitely kept asking my homies for an 8-ball, and we definitely don't sell drugs," he said. "So I'ma be rich, stay rich and happy."
You can watch Brown's video here:

When I heard about the 365 by WFM opening in LA I was jealous to say the least. I loved the idea behind the concept stores featuring the Whole Foods Market brand 365 and the friends of 365. I am a big Whole Foods Market fan in general as I believe in their commitment to quality foods, efforts to support the local communities that they reside in and the farmers/suppliers that they work with to fill their stores.
365 by Whole Foods Market was created as an affordable smaller scale concept that brings together local independent suppliers with the WFM brand. The friends of 365 are all individual shops that agree to align values and standards with 365 by WFM while staying independent within the store space.
The featured friend of the Lake Oswego store is Next Level Burger, a 100% plant based burger joint with a menu to drool over!

When AwesomeBox approached me telling me that they had the most awesome gift idea for those touching holidays and life-happenings such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduations, milestone birthdays, wedding showers, anniversaries…well, you get the idea, I wasn't completely sold. I wasn't even sold after using the service complimentary, until I heard EVERYONE exclaim about just how AWESOME this gift was when I recently gave it to a friend for her graduation and 30th birthday. I received an AwesomeBox and shipping in exchange for sharing my experience with you, my readers. All opinions are my own.

"Wow, it's really awesome," said my husband after looking through the gift that myself and 9 other people worked together to create for a dear friend and family member's 30th birthday and graduation party.
It wasn't the first time that day that I heard those words strung together and I couldn't help but think that they certainly named the "Awesome Box" well. Recently I had the opportunity to set up and order an AwesomeBox for a friend.
What's an AwesomeBox? Well, it really is a box full of awesome. Okay, I'll try to refrain from using that word for the rest of the post. This neat little gift is a collaborative box of images and quotes put together in a well-designed package. The cards are 5 1/4 inches square with rounded corners. There are cards describing how many people contributed and then cards with images on one side and quotes on the other. Collaborators each upload images and quotes to build the box.
Creating this easy, sentimental and fun gift is super easy. You simply visit www.AwesomeBox.com, create an account and select "Start a Box." You can then upload images and quotes for the AwsomeBox. You will also have the opportunity to invite collaborators to upload images and quotes.
The one draw back to the AwesomeBox in my opinion was that I didn't get to choose the background images that were used with the photos. I like the extra control of designing an item to look a certain way. However, to be honest, I might have never finished if I chose all the extra items. This made the whole process straightforward. And, when it arrived, I was so pleased with how the box came together and looked as a whole package that I didn't even care that I didn't select the backgrounds.
I liked working with AwesomeBox's website as it was easy to understand, emailed reminders out so that the box would be delivered on time and it made it fun to collaborate with others. Once it was printed and delivered I liked it even more as the quality was really top-notch and there were added cards in the box that explained what the box was and how many people came together to create the gift.
I really feel like the uses for this gift idea are sort of endless. Here are some ideas I came up with:
Thank you to AwesomeBox for letting me experience your services. Thanks to readers for supporting the companies that help make this blog happen!
Bottle and Bottega invited myself and another local blogger out to try a complimentary painting and wine experience to see how it would fit for our readership. As always, all opinions are my own. To see my review posting policies please visit my policies page.
Over the course of my pregnancy and the past few months I really haven't had the energy or availability to explore the Portland area as much as I typically enjoy. I am thrilled to start writing about the local area again! I can't be more excited to share about this Mom's Night Out experience I had with my friend, Lindsey of Running with Tongs.
Walking into the Bottle and Bottega space I knew that I was in for a fun evening. I loved the bright colors in the workspace and instantly imagined throwing about 10 different parties in that space. My friend Lindsey and I both thought about possibly bringing our kids out for the Bottle and Bottega All Ages events, but in the end decided we both needed a mom's night out pretty badly. When the sparkling wine hit my hand my decision felt better than ever.
The night that we visited was the mixed media evening where we got to select a couple of different images to work off of or create our own mixed media painting. We still had an artist walking us through the steps, but many of us created different paintings. This is something I LOVE. While I always have fun at paint and sip events, sometimes, I just really don't care for the image we are painting or want an image like everyone else in my home. This let me truly personalize an image.
I chose to do the "love" image and use a color scheme that coordinated with my upcoming anniversary party. The painting basically started out as a series of strips and scraps of paper. Lindsey chose to do the same painting and picked just a slightly different color scheme. When it was all said in done we were supposed to write the word "love" across the painting. Instead I chose to do the word "cheers" so that I can hang it up over my bar area in the future.
Parking: Bottle and Bottega is located in NW Portland. There is both street parking and a convenient little paid parking lot near the workshop. It is also quite accessible to the MAX as it isn't a far walk to the nearest stop. I chose to pay the $5 for parking so that my car was nearby because I knew it was going to be a semi-late night for this momma.
Timing: The event started around 6 PM and lasted until 9 PM. Due to the painting and drying time it is a longer event… which only means more WINE!
Beverages: The shop had a pretty good selection of red, white, and sparkling wine as well as some beer options. Beverage costs were above the $40 painting fee, but the prices were reasonable. The $40 painting fee gets you all the painting supplies, instruction, and your canvas to take home. I opted to purchase a frame for my canvas for just $20 more. Now my painting looks really finished.
What to Wear: Anything! No, but seriously, there were aprons to help protect clothing and the paint is water soluble. If you are really worried about something then probably opt to not wear it, but I wore my work clothes and came through unscathed!
The cool thing—to me, a bonafide party junkie—about Bottle and Bottega's business is that there are a variety of ways to make the sip and paint event work for parties or outings.
Check out the paintings from the evening I attended on the Bottle and Bottega Facebook page.
Public Events: Bottle and Bottega has public events that you (by yourself) or with a couple of friends can sign up for and attend. The public events are all listed on a calendar with a picture of the painting that they are going to be doing during the event.
Private Events: As for private events there are so many cool options! This would make for a fun bridal shower, bachelorette party, graduation party, baby shower… list goes on and on. The private parties have an option to create paintings (as seen above) or do collages of paintings that might don the house of a newly-wed or the nursery of a newborn.
Corporate Parties & Fundraising: Wouldn't a paint and sip event be a great team builder? One of the HUGE art pieces in the workshop was a collage piece as an example of what a corporate party could create. I would love to do something like this with coworkers and then go to work to see the painting we created together each day. The team at Bottle and Bottega can travel to a site for an event as an option too.
Thank you to Bottle and Bottega for the fun Mom's Night Out and painting experience!

IMF poised to declare 'early warning system' for financial sector
The International Monetary Fund, which is holding its annual meeting this week in Istanbul, will outline its much-hyped "early warning system" intended to avert the occurrence of future financial crises.
The new set of models, which will feed in data and analysis from the IMF's other important documents, will offer governments worldwide with advice about how better to run their economies to ensure financial bubbles do not build up.
The meeting will also see the release of the IMF's latest world economic outlook report. A prereleased chapter of the study, which was published last week, was pessimistic on the likelihood of speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank, has called for more balanced trade flows, saying these imbalances have been "at the roots of the present difficulties".

The present invention relates to a new and improved card holder jacket, and is more particularly concerned with a device of the kind disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,356,646 (incorporated herein by reference), having particular utility for holding hospital patient identification cards carrying vital patient information which is adapted to be transferred to patient records, such as billing papers and other records, in an imprinter equipped to handle card holders of this type.
As discussed in the aforesaid patent, it is preferred that these card holders be made of metal rather than from plastic material as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,379,130.
The two patents referred to are fairly representative of the present state of the art. Whereas the metal card holder of U.S. Pat. No. 4,356,646 has substantial durability advantages over the plastic card holder of U.S. Pat. No. 3,379,130, widespread use of the metal card holder has revealed a need for safety protection against inexperienced or careless handling of the device in the imprinter or elsewhere.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved card holder of the kind indicated, which has protective or safety means which will prevent damage to vital card guiding and retaining means of the card holder.
Another object of the invention is to provide new and improved means in a card holder of the character indicated which will facilitate loading of cards into the holder.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved card holder which is not only equipped with damage preventing safety means, but is also equipped to be retained positively in an imprinter.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved card holder of the character indicated which is inexpensively provided with the improvements aforesaid.
Pursuant to the principles of the present invention, there is provided a new and improved card holder or jacket of the kind adapted for supporting a hospital patient identification card on an imprinter anvil, and comprising a card supporting base panel having along one edge means for guiding the card against sliding displacement from the panel, and the panel also having along the one edge card hold-down means and means for protecting said edge guiding means against damage and located in spaced clearance protective adjacent relation to said guiding means.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, although variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a card holder or jacket embodying a best mode example of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view looking toward the right-hand edge of the holder as seen in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is an end elevational view looking toward the lower end of the holder as seen in FIG. 1.
As shown in the drawing, a card holder 5 embodying the present invention is adapted for supporting a patient identification card 7 which is preferably made from plastic.
By preference, the card holder 5 is constructed of metal, 0.015 thick, type 430 stainless steel having been found especially satisfactory. The holder 5 comprises an elongated body or base panel 8 of a shape complementary to the identification card 7, and which shape is fairly standard in the hospital industry.
For retaining the card 7 centered on the panel 8, there are provided means, comprising at the opposite ends of the panel preferably identical right angular card edge guide lip flanges 9. Along one of the longitudinal edges of the panel 8 is provided a right angular card edge guide lip flange 10 which is offset endwise from and substantially shorter than a longer right angular card edge guide lip flange 11 portion carrying a laterally projecting indicia-carrying tab 12 desirably in a top plane with the upper edges of the lip flanges 9.
Along the longitudinal edge of the panel 8, which is opposite to the flanges 10 and 11, there is provided means comprising a right angular card edge guide lip flange 13, elongated along this edge and of a common width or height with the guide flanges 9, 10 and 11. All of the guide flanges are of a width or height about the same as the thickness of the card 7. All of the guide flanges cooperate when the card 7 is centered on the base panel 8 to retain the card against skewing or sliding displacement.
For retaining the card 7 against displacement from the, in effect, pocket defined by the flanges 9, 10, 11 and 13, a card anchoring clip 14 is provided which is associated with the flange 13 and formed integrally with, and elongated along the edge of the base panel 8 along which the flange 13 is formed. A smoothly cross-sectionally curved hold-down clamp or lip 15 of the clip 14 is adapted to engage the associated margin of the card 7.
In addition to serving as hold-down means for the card 7, the clip 14 serves as means for protecting the guide flange 13 against damage. To this end, the clip 14 is formed in part generally in the shape of a bead 17, which freely overlies the flange 13, which projects into the radius clearance defined within the bead. To permit the flange 13 and the clip 14 to be formed up integrally with the base panel 8, the bead 17 is of greater length than the flange 13 and has at each end an attachment leg 18 integral with base panel 8 and projecting laterally therefrom sufficiently to offset the bead 17 from the edge of the panel 8 to provide ample clearance along the hold-down lip 15 for operation of the customary printing roller longitudinally along the card 7. As shown, the attachment legs 18 are separated from the adjacent ends of the guide flange 13 by tooling slots 19. The attachment legs 18 and the portions of the bead 17 integrally connected thereto are of sufficient length to provide substantial rigidity to the bead 17 while nevertheless affording some resilience for yieldable card anchoring compression of the hold-down lip 15 which, as formed up, is desirably spaced from the base panel 8 less than the thickness of the card 7.
To facilitate insertion of the card 7 under the hold-down lip 15 when mounting the card on the holder 5, an end of the bead 17 is provided with a slanted lead-in edge 20.
For printing service, the holder 5 is adapted to be mounted on a conventional printing machine anvil 21, having holder-retaining fingers 21a, in a position for longitudinal running of a printing roller (not shown) over the card 7 carried by the holder.
A desirable feature for retaining the holder 5 against unintentional displacement from the printer anvil 21, comprises magnetic means 22 carried by the anvil 21 on the area supporting the holder 5. Therefore, by having the holder 5 made from the aforementioned type 430 stainless steel, which is a ferromagnetic steel, the holder 5 is firmly, but releasably held in place on the anvil 21. The magnetic means 22 may conveniently comprise a strip of conventional magnetic tape set into a depression 23 about the same depth as the thickness of the tape so that the exposed surface of the tape will be substantially coplanar with the holder supporting surface of the anvil 21.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that the present invention provides a new and improved information card holder 5 especially adapted for replaceably supporting information cards 7 such as are widely used in hospitals for providing patient identification and information embossed thereon for roller imprinting transfer onto billing and record sheets. As is customary, in a hospital or like environment, the card 7 will contain vital patient information, and the tab 12 will contain room and possible bed number data 24 embossed thereon. The guide flange 13 is thoroughly protected within the radius of the bead 17 against damage by improper card placement or other careless usage. Placement of the clip 14 is such that it amply clears a printing roller of an imprinter in which the holder may be lodged in use.
In addition to its usefulness as a hold-down clip and guide flange protector, the clip 14 may serve as a convenient carrier of indicia 25 independently or supplemental to the indicia 24 on the tab 12. For this purpose, the indicia 25 may be applied to the exposed surface of the bead 17. Application of the indicia 25 to the bead 17 may be effected in any desirable fashion, such as by tool stamping or by affixing to the bead 17 a card 27 carrying the indicia. The card 27 may be affixed temporarily or permanently by means of adhesive or may be thermally affixed where the card is plastic or supplied with a plastic bonding agent. The indicia 25 may be anything serving the purpose of the user. By way of example, the indicia 25 may be a room number, bar code, or the like, printed or otherwise applied to the carrying medium 27.
It will be apparent that various modifications and/or additions may be made in the apparatus of the invention without departing from the essential feature of novelty involved, which are intended to be defined and secured by the appended claims.

An old proverb notes that a pessimist will say a glass is half-empty, whereas an optimist will say the glass is half-full. Another proverb observes that "every cloud has a silver lining," which inspires wags to retort "Yup, and every silver lining has its cloud" or "all silver's destined to tarnish" or something similarly cynical.
Which are all ways of saying that modern life is full of trade-offs, with good and bad aspects to most things. Meanwhile, this whole "Internet/social media/instant worldwide communication for all" business is still brand-new by world historical standards – as of 2014, the majority of people alive can personally remember life before the Internet – and there's still huge disagreement regarding whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, overall.
The latest entry in the "maybe bad thing" category is discussed in this MediaPost blog entry titled "Social Media Makes Us Dumb, But Think We're Smart." It summarizes a study which researchers at the University of Oregon published in the journal of the Royal Society. Super-short version: the more you rely on social connections for problem-solving, the more your own personal cognitive abilities suffer.
Or so the study results might indicate. Researchers divided 100 test subjects into five groups of 20-member "social networks" with various levels of connectivity. The subjects were then asked to solve some rather difficult "cognitive reflection tests."
Turns out subjects scored much higher on the tests when they were allowed to ask their social-network connections for the answers – the more connected you are to your network, the more likely you are to get the right answer – but then, after using social connections to help them take the tests, the subjects tended to score more poorly once they had to take the tests by themselves.
Brain not engaged
Here's how the researchers summarized their results:
"When people make false intuitive conclusions and are exposed to the analytic output of their peers, they recognize and adopt this correct output. But they fail to engage analytical reasoning in similar subsequent tasks. Thus, humans exhibit an 'unreflective copying bias,' which limits their social learning to the output, rather than the process, of their peers' reasoning."
Interesting. But set that aside for a moment, and check out this September 2013 article from Slate, which asked, "Are search engines and the Internet hurting human memory?" and answered "Nope. It's much, much weirder than that." (The "article" in question is actually an excerpt from Clive Thompson's book "Smarter than you think: How technology is changing our minds for the better.")
Here's a stripped-down and somewhat oversimplified summary: the critics and worrywarts who fret, "Oh dear, people are starting to rely on looking up facts online rather than committing them to memory" are absolutely correct — so far as that goes.
Does it matter?
Yet it doesn't really matter, because supplementing our memories with whatever facts we find online is just an expanded technological version of what people have done for as long as there have been people: rather than try storing the sum total of all human knowledge and ability in our own personal individual brain, we rely on our social networks (family, friends, neighbors, even civilization writ large) to share that burden with us.
If you are half of an "old married couple"—or know people who are—you've seen or participated in this yourself. Read this bit from Thompson's book and see if it doesn't sound familiar:
Harvard psychologist Daniel Wegner—and his colleagues Ralph Erber and Paula Raymond—first began to systematically explore "transactive memory" back in the '80s. Wegner noticed that spouses often divide up memory tasks. The husband knows the in-laws' birthdays and where the spare light bulbs are kept; the wife knows the bank account numbers and how to program the TiVo. If you ask the husband for his bank account number, he'll shrug. If you ask the wife for her sister-in-law's birthday, she can never remember it. Together, they know a lot. Separately, less so. ...
The same thing occurs on a bigger scale with colleagues at work.
[Y]ou each begin to subconsciously delegate the task of remembering that stuff to the other, treating one's partners like a notepad or encyclopedia, and they do the reverse. In many respects, Wegner noted, people are superior to notepads and encyclopedias, because we're much quicker to query: Just yell a fuzzily phrased question across to the next cubicle (where do we keep the thing that we use for that thing?) and you'll get an answer in seconds. We share the work of remembering, Wegner argued, because it makes us collectively smarter.
Of course, remembering and retrieving facts — whether by yourself or with others — isn't quite the same thing as using applied knowledge, skill or intelligence to solve challenging cognitive puzzles. Yet they do seem to share one trait in common: "You do much better with others than you do by yourself." That's the glass-half-full interpretation, anyway; you could also say "I do much worse by myself than when I get help from others."
