Have stash of various Batiks and need suggestions for
block/patterns to use for lap size quilts. Can you help?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Have stash of various Batiks and need suggestions for
block/patterns to use for lap size quilts. Can you help?
I use the same patterns as for any fabric.. although I do think that some batiks make stunning stained glass window blocks :D:D:D
Because of the pattern and coloring of some batiks, they "show" better with larger pieces in the blocks but there is no reason you can't use them in any pattern.
go to google images and type in "batik quilts" or even "batik quilt patterns" and the eye candy is amazing!!!
I'm sure you will get some ideas.
I am looking to find a scrappy one for batiks too!
I recently made the lap size batik quilt in my avatar. I think the large, two piece blocks really show off the beautiful batik fabric.
If your scraps are really small, use them for the corners of flying geese. Make the center triangle a solid neutral colour. It really shows off the batiks.
Then use a solid squares of the neutral with sashing of flying geese between them.
The large neutral blocks can show off some fancy quilting and the flying geese show off their colour.
Is the Disappearing Nine Patch too simple for your purpose? I quite like this method and am going to have some of the children, who sew with me, make this as a project.
attached is a pic of a quilt I thought i saw in McCall's magazine. It stuck in my head for the longest time so I started making it only to find my 'recollection' was not the same as what was in the mag!

Fall'07 Snippets No.1
Since so many shows interest me this season, I'm going to change my blogging style a bit and do posts in the form of snippets of shows that I feel like saying something about, but not enough to do a full post for it. WP 2.3's native tagging system is kinda enticing now….
Tama-chan is made of SEIGI and <3 and win. She's just sooo kawaiiiiii~~~~~~~
I loved the part where her father asked her whether she joined the Kendo club for interest or was invited by friends, and she answers, dead serious, "悪から正義を守るためです". GOOD JOB! Tama-chan!
Da Capo II
It's just a banana, you pervs!
Oh boy… the banana-powered robot makes her appearance this time… thankfully this incarnation is tsundere, so it's slightly more bearable than the tennen one last time round. I kinda quit D.C. because of the banana robot, really. While I can't say I really like Minatsu, not to mention her voice is… kinda unique, she's at least not annoying and brain-cell killing plus I really like her character design, mostly due to the cap she wears. Kinda makes her look… well, cute.
Also, poor Koko. She's already on her way to getting shafted.
Sketchbook ~full colors~
Ahh~~ this was a relaxing episode, yet not entirely yawn-inducing, thanks to the comedy they managed to put in the right amounts at the right timing. Most especially the sensei bringing in the new bust she bought… only to trip on the chicken she brought along to school. Plus, Kana Hanazawa's voice really sucks me in to watching the show. Truly a great future voice.

Is it better to treat someone with kid gloves or to treat them carefully? Researchers in Italy have investigated how the brain recognises that the first phrase means the same as the second. Publishing in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience, the researchers suggest that we use both hemispheres to understand idioms.
Dr Alice Proverbio from the University of Milano-Bicocca and colleagues used electrophysiological and LORETA source reconstruction analysis to investigate the role of the two cerebral hemispheres in idiom comprehension. By analysing the brain activity of 11 students, they found that idiomatic sentences activated the right middle temporal gyrus (after 350ms) and the right medial frontal gyrus (at 270-300 and 500-780ms).
All phrases were matched for length and familiarity, yet the students took longer to associate an idiomatic phrase with a linked word than to associate a literal phrase with its linked word. This suggests that idioms are more difficult to understand and denote superior levels of language use and processing.
The findings also shed light on whether the brain tries to understand a familiar idiom literally before it understands it as a metaphor. The left inferior frontal gyrus, the part of the brain thought to be used to suppress literal meaning, was not specifically activated by idiom comprehension; however, the limbic regions, which are involved in emotional responses, were (at 400-450ms).
Dr Proverbio concludes: "though the interpretation of language involves widespread activation bilaterally, the right hemisphere has a special role in the comprehension of idiomatic meaning."

Waitakere United came from a goal down to clinch their second New Zealand Football Championship soccer title with a 3-1 win over a 10-man Canterbury United in Auckland today.
Tom Lancaster fired Canterbury into the lead in just the sixth minute but a classy strike from Benjamin Totori in the 34th minute levelled the scores shortly before a red card to Canterbury midfielder Paul Dirou for a high challenge tipped the balance of the match in the home side's favour.
Man-of-the-match Allan Pearce put Waitakere into the lead 12 minutes into the second half while Totori grabbed his second with just over 17min remaining as Waitakere stepped up a gear against a tiring Canterbury outfit.
With the second leg of the O-League final at the same venue next Sunday when Waitakere need to haul in Hekari's three-goal lead to qualify for the 2010 Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, player-coach Neil Emblen admitted to some nerves.
"We were apprehensive because we've come so far, got ourselves into two finals but there's still the chance you could end up with nothing," Emblen said.
"That fear of failure does scare you a little bit, especially at a club like Waitakere that's been so successful over the past few years.
"It's nice to get the first one out the way and now we will start thinking about the Hekari game, how we overturn the lead they've got and how we win that competition as well."
Despite playing in their first final in four years, Canterbury showed no signs of stage fright with target man Russell Kamo providing a solid attacking platform for Lancaster and Aaron Clapham.
Goalkeeper Tom Batty had an assured game and it was his presence of mind to chest a ball and play out quickly from the back that led to Kamo and Clapham combining to tee up Lancaster for the early opener.
For Waitakere, Totori and Krishna displayed flashes of brilliance and only the foot of Batty stopped Krishna equalising at the end of a mazy run that began near the halfway line.
The ball spun on to the post and back into Batty's arms and moments later the woodwork denied Krishna again, with a snap shot rattling the crossbar.
Totori then delivered on the glimpses of dangerous promise he had already shown when cutting in from the left and blasting the equaliser past Batty.
Three minutes later Canterbury midfielder Paul Dirou was beaten to the ball by Jason Rowley and only succeeded in catching him high with a raised boot.
"The sending off changed the game and I feel sorry for the lad, although he did go high and it's one of those challenges that looks bad," Emblen said.
"Having said that, I thought we had momentum back before the sending off but it may their job a lot harder."
The second half was dominated by Pearce on the right flank as he set up Butler for a squandered chance before finding the net himself with a pinpoint shot across an outstretched Batty.
Starving Canterbury of possession, Waitakere grabbed their third goal through Totori, who was slipped a pass from Butler and proceed to tip toe around Batty to seal victory.
Coach Keith Braithwaite, who inherited a Canterbury side which had finished last for the previous two seasons, said their performances this year bode well for the code in his region.
"It's a foundation. The board of Canterbury United are working hard and have plans for the future. If we do things right then there's no reason why we can't be back here in the final next season," Braithwaite said.
"We're very disappointed but we've been beaten by a very good Waitakere side. When they break they put us under a lot of pressure and with 10 men they picked holes out and punished us."
Waitakere 3 (Benjamin Totori 2, Allan Pearce) Canterbury United 1 (Tom Lancaster). Halftime: 1-1

Investors didn't want any IPO candy Wednesday morning.
Shares of King, maker of the game Candy Crush, plummeted more than 11% by 11a.m. on the first day of trading. Cashtaggers on StockTwits.com worried that the firm, which has one blockbuster game, didn't warrant the $7 Billion valuation implied by its $22.50-per-share price.
$KING there hv been a couple IPOs last week that were good future companies this is not 1. Whoever is doing the valuing, not serving Company
— Terry Sutton (@Terry67) Mar. 26 at 11:02 AM
With 22.2 Million shares at $22.50-per-share, Candy Crush was valued higher than game-maker Take-Two Interactive, $TTWO, and about 20% less than game giant EA Games, $EA. King raised about $500 Million in the offering.
The IPO was hotly anticipated by many investors. King's Candy Crush Saga was the top downloaded app in 2013. The game is free to start but charges players for extra lives. King brought in $632 Million in revenues, largely from Candy Crush, last year, according to an SEC filing. The company had a 44% profit margin and 324 Million monthly users as of the end of last year.
Some cashtaggers said profits alone made King worth the money. The company grew from a $1 Million loss at the beginning of 2012 to a $159 Million profit in the fourth quarter of 2013. Other highly valued companies, such as Twitter with its $26.18 Billion market cap, are not yet profitable on an annual basis.
$KING makes money and wall street and media hate it, of course they do. PE 4.5 EPS 4.38
— BigDaddytrader (@BigDaddytrader) Mar. 26 at 11:03 AM
But many cashtaggers argued Wednesday that neither King, nor other recent IPOs, warranted the hype. They said investors are weary of IPO insanity. Renaissance Capital says 2014 is on track to have more IPOs than in more than a decade.
$KING this ipo stupidity has to stop…its just for the insiders to make fortunes…slam it down ,and the game will stop

MANSFIELD, PA— The second annual Mansfield University Summer Leadership Academy was held July 13-17.
Coordinated by Directors Christina Fry and Denise Seigart, and managed through the Center for Lifelong Learning, the Academy brought 50 ninth grade students from the Elmira, NY and Williamsport, PA School Districts to the MU campus.
Participants spent four days actively engaged in learning about a wide range of topics from MU faculty, coaches, staff and students. Classes and presentations were held on topics ranging from astronomy to social work and from art to nursing.
This year's Academy also included a field trip to Robert H. Treman State Park in Ithaca, NY for a day of hiking and studying geology and geography.
Students worked on journals and poster presentations throughout the week. They were displayed at the closing celebration banquet, which was attended by nearly 200 people including the students, their families, representatives of the Elmira and Williamsport School Districts and MU officials and staff.
Noted civil rights activist and educator Dorothy Cotton was the keynote speaker at the banquet and challenged students to go on learning, questioning, and making choices that will make their lives and the world better.
The Summer Leadership is funded by the Elmira and Williamsport School Districts, Mansfield University and a diversity and equity grant from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Office of the Chancellor.

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated film of the summer is Snakes on a Plane, starring Samuel L. Jackson. Very little is known about the plot of this movie, other than that it will involve–well–snakes on a plane and Samuel L. Jackson. Here's a trailer:
Those of us who are fans of 24 have noted that there seems to be a higher body count this year. True, 24 has always had a high body count, but this year seems different. Here's a convenient summary of the major characters killed thus far, and the season's only slightly more than half over.
You may have noticed that I haven't been paying as close attention to the ol' blog as usual over the last three days, leading to a bit of hyperbole in the comments section of at least one post without my responding until today. Indeed, here's a secret: Most of the posts that have appeared since…

The front sight should be dove tailed into the ramp,drift the front sight to the right or the rear sight in the direction you need to go. I always try to use the rear sight whenever posable
Over the years I have rebuilt many 78 hand crank phonograph players, Ford Model T and Model A automobiles and do all the handy work here on the farm but have learned to ask advice before I attempt something I've never done before. I've taken a 1974 vintage Marlin 336 in the 30-30 Winchester out of storage and find after 6 rounds at roughly 85 yards it shoots 3-4 inches to the left. I will shoot some more rounds this weekend to be sure the problem is with me and not the rifle but if I do attempt to move the front sight over need some words of wisdom first.
Not knowing the correct term for this type of front sight let me simple say that when looking through the sight it looks like a vertical letter "i" inside a tunnel. The sight has two mounting screws, one at each end of the tunnel and there is a sloping ramp at the rear of the sight.
When the two screws are loosened somewhat is the whole sight supposed to be shifted left or right or do you just shift the front? Is there some way to mark the barrel, such as the straight edge of a "post it note" butted up to the side of the sight to make sure it has really been moved before tightening down the screws? Any and all advice appreciated.
The front sight should be dove tailed into the ramp,drift the front sight to the right or the rear sight in the direction you need to go. I always try to use the rear sight whenever posable
For adjusting left/right "windage" on sights, and this is just me, mind you, I wouldn't mess with the front sight at all to begin with.
Start by drifting your rear sight first. Since you are shooting 3" or 4" left, you will need to drift the rear sight to the right a fuzz. To mark how much you are drifting it, first put a piece of masking tape on the barrel (on the chamber side of your rear sight), and reference the center of your rear sight by making a pencil mark. Then use a piece of hardwood dowel or similar (not a steel drift punch) and tap against the dovetail of the rear sight (via the dowel) with a small hammer or mallet to drift it a ways. Then make another mark.
Test fire to see where your groups are landing, then go back and adjust some more as necessary. The pencil marks on the masking tape will tell you where it has been for a reference so you can gauge how much more or less you need to drift it.
If doing it this way doesn't work, and you have drifted your rear sight as much as you can without getting the windage adjusted, then we should talk about messing with the front sight.
By the way... Welcome to Marlin Owners.
Thanks for the quick reply's! Since the rear sight does not have any mounting screws I suppose the dovetail fit is just by friction? Do I need to remove the adjustable ramp on the rear sight before I tap on the front where the dovetail is located?
Correct... The dovetail is an interference fit. I didn't remove the elevation ramp when I drifted mine, but also don't see where that would hurt anything by doing so.
As far as the tape goes, you can put it on either side of your sight for your reference marks - - whichever would make it easier for you to mark and gauge how much movement you make each time you drift it.
well let me be the first to say that you need to shoot it at about 25yds at first, just to make sure of what's going on, and yes you need to shoot it some more to get a feel for it. you do not have to remove the elevator for the rear sight to adjust it, it will slide over with the sight. and when you get it shooting strait then you can move out to 85yds.
3-4 inches on a sunny day could be just a little glare on the rear sights notch causing that at 85 yds.
Try another group at the same distance to see if it repeats before drifting the rear sight.
Retired Tool & Die Maker. DJ & Minister.
Everyone is right... it's best to drift the rear sight left or right first. It's much easier. If indeed you DO end up needing to move the front sight, I recommend you are careful if you're going to tap it with a hammer and punch... make sure the RAMP portion is firmly rested or you have a chance of shearing the ramp off the barrel! Some people remove the ramp and then drift the front sight in its dovetail.
You cannot rotate the front ramp at least not much!

The rear sight is moved in the direction you want the bullet to go!
Move rear sight to the right to move the bullet(group) to the right!
The front sight (not the ramp if it has one) is moved so that it chases the bullet!
Drift the front sight to the left to move the bullet(group)to the right!
If you drift the front sight in the ramp dovetail make sure to support the ramp when you are doing so!
P.S. If you loosened the front sight ramp screws retighten them well and use LocTite on the screws!

7 Responses to Inspiring Innovation — Step Up to the Intel Challenge
This is a slightly off-topic.
On the 2nd day of IDF, there was very interesting Chalk Talk session titled "Managing Innovation" at 1:40 PM.
Does anyone who was the speaker for that session?
Hello Saqib,
Here is a list of the panelists for the "Managing Innovation" Chalk Talk:
Maria Bezaitis, PhD , Director, People and Practices Research Group, Intel Corporation
Martin Curley , Senior Principal Engineer and Director of IT Innovation, Intel Corporation
Abram Detofsky , R&D Engineer, Intel Corporation
Wendy March , Senior Designer – Intel Research, Intel Corporation
Gregg Wyant , Chief Architect, General Manager, Director of Strategy, Architecture, and Innovation Intel IT, Intel Corporation
@Saqib Ali if you have any questions about innovation at Intel you can email email@example.com
I am glad you enjoyed the session.
Hi Annie,
Do you have the audio/presentation from the "Managing Innovation"ChalkTalk session?
One of the panelist (Gregg Wyant, I think) talked about how Intel's internal IT dept is using some Web 2.0 tools to provide self-support to the internal users.
Do you have more information about that? Were these tools developed in-house or were they purchased? Any other information about the usability and success of these self-support innovations would be helpful.
I am the Social Computing Program Manager for IT in Intel. Yes, we are deploying a new social computing framework. We are buying, not building ourselves. I am blogging about our efforts over in Open Port. You can check out one of my blog posts http://communities.intel.com/openport/blogs/it/2008/07/21/testing-the-business-value-of-social-networking-in-the-enterprise. I have several more and I am working on more as I type. I hope this helps.
Hi Laurie,
Do you have more information on the cost-savings achieved by moving to a Web 2.0 powered self-support IT Helpdesk? Gregg Wyant touched this subject very briefly in the ChalkTalk at IDF but did not go into details.
Managing the IT Enterprise of the Future was a session that Gregg Wyant gave in San Francisco and Taiwan IDF 2008. We do not have an audio recording of it, but here are a few links:
Taipei IDF
Hope these help.

The women who came in the Mayflower HTML version
"So they left ye goodly and pleasante citie, which had been ther
resting-place near 12 years; but they knew they were pilgrimes, &
looked not much on those things, but lift up their eyes to ye
heavens, their dearest cuntrie, and quieted their spirits."
--_Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantations. Chap. VII._
December weather in New England, even at its best, is a test of
physical endurance. With warm clothes and sheltering homes today, we
find compensations for the cold winds and storms in the exhilarating
winter sports and the good cheer of the holiday season.
The passengers of _The Mayflower_ anchored in Plymouth harbor,
three hundred years ago, lacked compensations of sports or fireside
warmth. One hundred and two in number when they sailed,--of whom
twenty-nine were women,--they had been crowded for ten weeks into a
vessel that was intended to carry about half the number of
passengers. In low spaces between decks, with some fine weather when
the open hatchways allowed air to enter and more stormy days when they
were shut in amid discomforts of all kinds, they had come at last
within sight of the place where, contrary to their plans, they were
destined to make their settlement.
At Plymouth, England, their last port in September, they had "been
kindly entertained and courteously used by divers friends there
dwelling," [Footnote: Relation or Journal of a Plantation Settled at
Plymouth in New-England and Proceedings Thereof; London, 1622
(Bradford and Winslow) Abbreviated In Purchas' Pilgrim, X; iv; London,
1625.] but they were homeless now, facing a new country with frozen
shores, menaced by wild animals and yet more fearsome savages.
Whatever trials of their good sense and sturdy faith came later, those
days of waiting until shelter could be raised on shore, after the
weeks of confinement, must have challenged their physical and
spiritual fortitude.
There must have been exciting days for the women on shipboard and in
landing. There must have been hours of distress for the older and the
delight in adventure which is an unchanging trait of the young of
every race. Wild winds carried away some clothes and cooking-dishes
from the ship; there was a birth and a death, and occasional illness,
besides the dire seasickness. John Howland, "the lustie young man,"
fell overboard but he caught hold of the topsail halyard which hung
extended and so held on "though he was sundry fathoms under water,"
until he was pulled up by a rope and rescued by a boat-hook.
[Footnote: Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation; ch. 9.]
Recent research [Footnote: "The Mayflower," by H. G. Marsden;
Eng. Historical Review, Oct., 1904; The Mayflower Descendant, Jan.,
1916] has argued that the captain of _The Mayflower_ was probably
not _Thomas Jones_, with reputation for severity, but a Master
Christopher Jones of kindlier temper. The former captain was in
Virginia, in September, 1620, according to this account. With the most
generous treatment which the captain and crew could give to the women,
they must have been sorely tried. There were sick to be nursed,
children to be cared for, including some lively boys who played with
powder and nearly caused an explosion at Cape Cod; nourishment must be
found for all from a store of provisions that had been much reduced by

Seiya is introduced to the leader of the Park, the "real princess" Latifah, who suddenly entrusts him with saving the park, which is in danger of shutting down. Amagi Brilliant Park, it turns out, is not just any amusement park, but rather one populated by fairies.

Mar 3, 2013 at 6:14 pm #1299956
Cleaning out the gear closet and have a mixture of LW and not-so LW gear for sale. Please PM me if you are interested in any of the items. Payment via PayPal personal, please! All prices include shipping. If you're interested in several of the clothing items we can work out a deal as shipping would be less.
Montbell U.L. Super Stretch Alpine Down Hugger #5
This is one of Montbell's zipperless "super stretch" bags that features a draw cord at the top of the bottom most baffle to allow you to customize the size of the footbox/length of the bag. Basically, you can pull some portion of the bottom baffle up into the baffle above it so as to shorten the bag and minimize the dead air space. Pretty clever. I also used this feature to stuff the entirety of the bag into the bottom baffle and cinch it up, saving the weight of the stuff sack. Used about half a dozen times, in near perfect shape except that I had cut the tags off immediately after buying it. Complete with original 2 stage "compression" stuff sack and cotton storage bag. $150
REI Women's Halo +10
Regular length. A proper EN 10 rated women's bag. Brand new, never used. Bought for my GF to join me on winter trips 2 years back, alas, we never went on a winter trip together. Comes with cotton storage sack and silnylon compression sack.
REI Quarter Done T3 (2012 model)
I rescued this from a REI used gear sale this summer with the intention of giving it to my brother-in-law. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it that I could find at all- only way you can tell it was from the used sale is from the silver X's. Before gifting it away, I set it up twice in my backyard and shower tested it with my lawn hose- not a single drip. Unfortunately, it was a bit too small for my sister's family as her husband is 6'4" and they couldn't fit in comfortably with their son as we had hoped. It was used by them car camping 1 night. Comes complete with all guylines, stakes, instructions, etc as new from the store. $175
Mountain Hardware Phantom Anorak
Great windshell that I used for a few years (maybe 7-8 trips) before I decided I wanted a hooded windshell. It's a men's medium and is in perfect shape with one minor exception- one wrist has a bit of thread that has pulled loose. Seam is still perfect, it's just a bit of a dangling thread, but I wanted to mention it. You could tie it off and trim the excess it and it would be as new. $30
EMS zippered sweatshirt
More of a fashion piece than a technical piece, but I never wear it so I thought I'd put it up here to see if someone likes it better than I do. Men's size small, two zippered hand pockets. Worn maybe 2-3 times around town. $20
Granite Gear Stratus Latitude
Bought this 3 years ago when I thought I'd be doing more winter trips, and it's sat in my closet ever since. Pretty sure I have the tags around here somewhere. Used on one overnight trip- it has absolutely no wear or anything on it at all. Size regular torso, with men's medium trim shoulder straps and men's medium hipbelt. $150
Patagonia Capilene Shirts
Size mens small, Cap2 Lightweight short sleeve T in a light green. $15
3 size mens small, Cap2 Lightweight long sleeve Ts, choice of light grey, sky blue, navy blue. $20/ a piece.

Black History Month: USASMA celebration takes journey back in history
By David Crozier, USASMA:
Attendees at this year's U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy, Black History Month celebration and observance were taken on a journey into history Feb. 13 as members of Class 64 put on a play that not only traced history, but also urged the audience to make a difference for the future.
"We welcome you to our play, a voice from the past for the future. During this play, you will hear the words of famous civil rights leaders who impacted not only our generation, their generation, but hundreds of generations yet to come," said Master Sgt. Trinnette Robinson a Class 64 student.
Robinson continued, "Although all of these leaders are no longer here with us, their words will still ring true in our souls and can inspire us to move forward in our destiny for greatness. Sit back, relax and take a journey to the past as we show you how to face each day with courage, hope and determination."
The first to tell her story was Isabella Baumfree, better known as Sojourner Truth. Truth talked about being born a slave and how she later became an abolitionist and women's rights activist in the mid- 1800s. She was followed by Frederick Douglas, an African-American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman, who became a leader of the abolitionist movement, gaining note for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writing.
Harriet Tubman, who was also born a slave, told her story of escaping from slavery and making 19 missions to rescue slaves using the Underground Railroad. She also informed the attendees of her service during the Civil War, working for the Union Army as a cook and a nurse, then later as an armed scout and spy. Tubman also noted that she was the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the war.
"Freedom is worth fighting for. You can't achieve nothing if you don't reach for it," Tubman said. "Freedom was my dream. What is your dream?"
Tubman was followed by Ida B. Wells-Barnett who's story began with her being removed from a Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad train for refusing to give up her seat and move to a smoking car. She later sued the railroad and won her lawsuit.
"Injustice performed by any man to another man is wrong," she said. "What injustice are you accepting? I believe that today that the greatest injustice is performed to us by us ourselves. We don't seize opportunities that are made available to us. Instead, we simply sit around complaining. That my friend – is injustice. Maximize what is available to you and change what you can."
Wells was followed by George Washington Carver, a scientist, botanist, educator and inventor who told the crowd, "A man who never fails is a man who never tries."
Carver was followed by the stories of Mary McLeod-Bethune, an American educator and civil rights leader best known for starting a school for African-American students in Daytona Beach, Fla., which eventually became Bethune-Cookman University and Rosa Parks with a reenactment of her refusal to give up her seat on the bus in Montgomery, Ala.
Both historical accounts were followed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who told the crowd, "When you know your purpose in life, you are willing to weather the storms no matter what comes."
"Don't let their sacrifices be in vain. Don't let their struggles be in vain," Robinson said. "Stop accepting mediocrity, start the way for a better tomorrow, start your way for a better attitude. Start your way for a better education. Stop saying what you can't do and start doing what you can do."
Class 64 ended their play asking everyone to stand up and join them in singing, "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
Upon completion of the play, attendees were treated to another history lesson, this time from retired Command Sgt. Maj. Charles "Chuck" Taylor, who, dressed in a Buffalo Soldier uniform, took the crowd on a journey of civil rights from as early as the 1600s. He outlined the history of African-American Soldiers through the Civil War, World Wars I and II and beyond, noting the efforts of the Tuskegee Airmen, the Red Ball Express and the 719th Tank Battalion under Gen. George S. Patton.
He ended his presentation imploring those present to keep up the fight for civil rights. "Soldiers, all of us, we are not there yet. The documents written in the 1700s have given us the avenue to take advantage of the steps that need to be taken to get those civil rights," he said. "We need to demand our civil rights."
Command Sgt. Maj. Gary W. Coleman Jr., director of the sergeants major course, thanked all for attending and participating, and ended the celebration with a quote from famed actor Morgan Freeman, who said, "Black history is American history."
"I am proud to be an American and I am proud to be a part of this presentation today," Coleman said.

st: Non-normal alternative to MANOVA?
Fri, 2 Jul 2010 23:14:11 +0930
Hi all,
I have been asked to analyse a small dataset from a randomized controlled trial,
with 24 subjects (12 in each group, control and intervention). There are 3 sets
of continuous outcome measures (b1, b2, b3) taken at baseline, 7 weeks and 3
months, and 2 variables which need to be controlled for - level of impairment
impair (binary) and number of interventions numint (continuous integer).
If the data were normal I would have done something like this:
manova b1 b2 b3=group impair numint, continuous(numint)
and then do various manova tests.
Unfortunately the outcome data b1-3 are highly skewed, so I can't use manova.
What would be a good alternative?

KEY LARGO -- The Key Largo Volunteer Fire-Rescue Department is a year overdue on submitting its 2011 annual report to the Key Largo Fire-EMS District.
The 2012 report, which is due this month, has also not been turned over.
The independent taxing district contracts with the department to provide fire services to Key Largo.
The annual report logs membership, the number and types of calls and other non-financial information related to the departments. The fire department has also not submitted a monthly financial report as required since October, according to district Clerk Vicky Fay.
The Key Largo Ambulance Corps, which contracts with district to provide emergency medical services to the area, is also required to submit annual reports to the district. It has met its deadline the last two years. It is also current with its monthly financial reports.
Fire Department President Frank Conklin offered little explanation last week when the district's elected board asked why it is taking so long to submit the required documents, other than he has been dealing with "requests from the newspaper" for public records.
In previous meetings with his department, Conklin has criticized its handling of records and called for hard copies of every electronic document.
"We're losing documents," he said. "We can't keep up with records. Everything needs to have a hard copy."
Conklin's irritation was prompted leading up to the recent chief's election, when reports from previous meetings detailing new qualification requirements for chief went missing.
Scott Robinson, vice president of the ambulance corps, said putting together his department's annual report is not time consuming.
"It takes us about 10 minutes because we have a format and we plug in the numbers," he said.
Robinson said the ambulance corps provides the annual reports to the district as required by its contract.
"There's no consequences if we don't turn them in and the fire department knows that," said Robinson, who has been critical of the fire department at district meetings.
Robinson said the district board could take action, but nothing has been done as of yet.
"Everyone got busy with the budget season in the fall," he said.
At the district's meeting last week, board members extended the fire department's deadline to March after Conklin said he would provide assessments for both 2011 and 2012.
District board member Tony Allen told the Free Press that the only repercussion he is aware of should the fire department fail to act would be to void the district's contract with fire department, a move he said he considers "drastic."
Allen would not confirm if he is investigating how to remove the fire department, though he said he has been asked to do so by some supporters. He said it is not fair to the ambulance corps if there are no ramifications for the fire department for missing the deadlines.
"My concern is we're setting a bad example here," Allen said.
If the district were to void its contract with the Key Largo fire department, it could be forced to contract with Monroe County for fire services, a move that might result in higher property taxes.

"I really didn't know how to react," Pellerin told PurpleWildcats.com on Monday. "I was extremely surprised. He busted out with: 'We'd like to offer you a full scholarship to Northwestern University' and I was speechless. I was amazed."
After reflecting on the offer, the New Iberia (La.) made plans to visit Northwestern on June 6. It will be the furthest he's ever traveled—making the trip even more exciting.
"I think I'll be going up with my football coach. I'm looking forward to seeing the campus and traveling the country," Pellerin said. "Everyone keeps saying how beautiful it is. I'm looking forward to being so close to Chicago… It looks like a great place to be."
From Louisiana, Pellerin understands the NU pitch. He mentioned the success of graduates and the football-school balance. More important, he said Fitzgerald's reputation adds to the appeal.
"Everyone's saying how nice of a guy Coach Fitzgerald is," he said. "It's great knowing that a young coach is having so much success. He's doing it the right way."
First, though, NU had to identify Pellerin. The Wildcats offered right as other schools began to express interest. Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Miami (Fla.) are among the teams watching him throw.
Pellerin has a clear vision of his role. He wants to work in the spread offense, given that he can "make a play when things hit the fan." That mobility seems attractive to NU—which enjoys its share of dual threat quarterbacks.
Still, the Wildcats need to persuade Pellerin of the right "fit." A strong June visit would be an important step, but for now, they have Pellerin listening.
"Obviously, they've been having success on the football field and academically," he said. "It was an honor to get an offer."

Creative photo products at PMA 2007
Creative photo products at PMA 2007 :
Building on a strategy for growth that was evident last fall at photokina, KIS Photo-Me Group said it comes to PMA this year with an even sharper focus on demonstrating to photo retailers the tools and expertise that will help them significantly expand the creative range of digital photo products they can offer to increasingly demanding photography consumers. The company's innovative new imaging products and exhibits on display at the PMA include a large-screen walk-up photo kiosk that lets consumers easily and immediately turn their snapshots into a variety of photo keepsakes; a versatile, high-speed, self-service "dry lab;" and numerous creative photo product samples.
PhotoBook Pro universal photo book
Also on display is the PhotoBook Pro universal photo book/photo keepsake system, a big hit at photokina last fall and the centerpiece of the KIS Photo-Me Group booth at PMA. "We entered 2007 with a revitalized team around the world, including an outstanding network of distributors who understand their local markets and customers better than we do," said Thierry Villard, President of KIS Photo-Me Group and Chief Operating Officer of the company's Manufacturing Division. "We have a well-developed global vision of delivering simple, reliable, economical production tools to photo retailers that will enable them to transition from simple print providers to dynamic producers of a wide range of creative, high-margin photo products that delight consumers and generate new revenues."
Digital photo minilaby DKS 1710 & DKS 1610 - KIS Photo-Me Group
KIS Photo-Me Group also is displaying two highly regarded "Generation 3" digital minilabs - the DKS 1710 and DKS 1610 minilabs. Villard said PMA attendees can see his company's most innovative products working together in the booth's Creativ' Corner retail simulation for flexible, integrated solutions suitable for various photo retail models. Also in the booth: Five "cubes" group creative photo products under specific themes - wedding, travel, family, babies-children, and new markets - to show how KIS Photo-Me Group's photo retail tools open up infinite possibilities for photo products that can strengthen retailers' relationships with consumers while generating new revenues from these higher-margin offerings, Villard said.
Digital photography dry lab - Flatbed scanner
KIS Photo-Me Group is introducing the Digital Automatic Minilab, a versatile "dry lab" with a productive Pro Pack option that produces standard thermal prints from 3.5x5 to 10x12 inches, as well as a variety of customized photo consumer photo products such as greeting cards, calendars and post cards that consumers today demand. Besides a versatile memory card reader, an on-board flatbed scanner allows consumers to digitize and enhance existing pictures/art work, and its self-payment options enable 24/7 self-service operation, KIS Photo-Me Group said. Designed mainly for drugstores, supermarkets and convenience stores, the Digital Automatic Minilab is available in both two- and four-printer (Speedlab Pro Pack) configurations with production speeds as fast as 2.5 seconds per 4x6-inch print.
Compact photo imaging kiosk Swifti
Also, the company is exhibiting its new Swifti compact walk-up photo imaging kiosk, which instantly transforms snapshots into added-value photo keepsakes. The Swifti can be located virtually anywhere - at hotels, campgrounds, tourist attractions, college campuses, etc. - as an additional revenue generator for retailers. In addition to immediately turning digital images into keepsakes, it burns image files to a CD to free up the user's camera memory for more picture taking, KIS/Photo-Me Group said.
KIS Photo-Me Group - Digital photography products at PMA
Villard said the growing diversity of KIS Photo-Me Group's product portfolio is aimed at providing retailers with simple, effective tools that help them capitalize on the expanding possibilities of digital imaging, tapping into the unlimited opportunities for developing new products beyond simple prints and creating new income streams. "With the recent additions to our creative production tool portfolio, KIS Photo-Me Group can make a strong case that it is the leading on-site solutions provider to photo retailers. We're at PMA this year to demonstrate this to the industry."
DKS 1710 minlab - Creative photo products
The versatile DKS 1710 minilab produces a wide range of creative photo products up to 12x18 inches and up to 2,000 4x6-inch prints per hour at 350-dpi resolution - all from a remarkably small footprint. The more economical DKS 1610 minilab offers the same productivity for photo products up to 8x12 inches. Higher-capacity digital minilabs are available in both the DKS 17 and DKS 16 Series for high-traffic retail locations.
KIS Photo-Me Group - PhotoBook Pro calendar maker
Both DKS lines feature the company's proprietary MSB HD exposure system for exceptional image quality, an easy-to-use operator interface, Quick Load paper apparatus to minimize downtime, and a "hub and spoke" architecture that allows these printers to be networked with multiple self-serve kiosks to optimize productivity and revenues. DKS 17 and DKS 16 Series models take up less than one square meter of floor space, and all connect to the company's remarkable PhotoBook Pro photo book / calendar maker. All of the background themes, layout templates, text and graphic treatments, and other digital embellishments for making enticing, creative photo products are included in the My Creativ' Album software installed on all KIS Photo-Me Group printers.
High quality photo album - Kiss Photo Me PhotoBook Pro
PhotoBook Pro automatically scores, joins, folds and binds up to 40 picture pages into quality photo albums up to 12x18 inches, with hard or soft covers. It also can produce a variety of greeting cards, calendars and other picture-based keepsakes. Besides using output from KIS Photo-Me Group printers, PhotoBook Pro accepts paper output from other printers. It can even mix output from different sources for creating scrapbooks and other innovative products.
Creative photo production tools - Easy to access products
In response to the changing needs of photo retailers worldwide, KIS Photo-Me Group not only developed for producing creative, high-margin photo products. It has revised its marketing and sales structure to offer more and better "hands-on" support to its customers, Villard said. "As consumers realize that the photo products they can create are limited only by their imaginations - not by the equipment at the retail location - and that the processes and tools for designing these products are easy to access and operate, more of these higher-margin photo keepsakes will be produced and sold," Villard said.
Kiss Photo-Me photo production tools - Price & Availability
"Consumers are now able to order a range of image-based products - for themselves, for friends and relatives, for pets, for the kitchen, for the bedroom (curtains, for example) - using their own unique images," he said. "The range of product offerings is being immensely expanded as new imaging tools like the ones we're showing at PMA become available. With these tools, photo retailers can move from a business model centered on simply selling prints to a model that defines them as the source of an entire menu of creative, highly appealing, high-margin photo-based products." "It is in this area that we see the best opportunities for growth - both for the retailer and for KIS Photo-Me Group," Villard said. "It forms the core of our current strategy, and we believe it is the right strategy." Quality products from KIS Photo-Me Group are available worldwide. Pricing and other information can be obtained by contacting a company-authorized representative.

Where I stayed
Pushkar Inn
After feeling a little bit confident, my journey to Pushkar began with a 80 Rs autorickshaw ride to the main bus station at 1130 am. There was no stopover but luckily I bought a bunch of bananas for lunch on the bus. The 3 hours of slow ride through the dilapidated outskirts of Jaipur revealed a more accurate picture of Rajasthan than Jaipur itself.
Approaching 1pm, a carsick local auntie behind me almost showered me with her vomit as she struggled to crank open the tiny window. She stuck her face out in time for the gooey vomit projectile. Luckily the back windows were shut as the winds painted an abstract masterpiece on the bus. I sighed a relief that my delhi belly was dormant and I could have got a warm hair tonic treatment!
The passenger beside me, a local electrical engineer smiled and started chatting with me, making sure that I was alright
To get to Pushkar, I had to switch to another bus at Ajmer. The bus station at Ajmer expectedly was a scene of chaos. Some instructed me to buy my ticket at the booth, another said just wait at this spot and buy ticket on the bus. So I waited with a lot of passengers in this cloud of pollution both air and sound, but for a long time no bus seemed to be coming at all.
At this point, I was quite frustrated by the waiting, and consciously I began to notice people nonchanlantly bumping into me, even with the amber space to get around me. They just had to make bodily contact! That really worn me down. Then I had to entertain a young tout trying his best to get me to stay at his guesthouse in Pushkar. I got his name card but he got nothing out of me, so he proceeded to hassle an european backpacker.
My only entertainment whilst waiting was the numerous chai walas sounding out their masala tea for 5 Rs. They all went "Chaaaaaaaiiiiiii....Chaaaaaaaiiiii....!" with one hand on a kettle and the other a tower of plastic cups. As you can imagine, the place was littered with crushed chai plastic cups.
Shoving Up the Bus
The bus arrived in sounding fashion
Getting up the bus was a real challenge especially when the alighting passengers were shoving to get off the bus against the mob stomping up the bus! What a sight! I managed to climb on board with some amount of pushing. My two backpacks were an obstacle in a packed bus like this. So off we went but the supposedly half hour bus trip turned out to be an hour. Thankfully my delhi belly did not act up.
Al Pacino Line
The moment I got down from the bus, the rickshaw touts came scrambling, determined to bring me to their guesthouses. What really was upsetting, was that these young boys were really rude. Some started shouting at my face as I decided to go with a different rickshaw. They went "Oi! Oi! Sit my rickshaw!!" I lost my cool and did the Al Pacino Taxi Driver line "You shouting at me?? You shouting at me??" but with a crazed look. The kid backed off immediately. Don't piss off a man with delhi belly.
Indian Head Bobble
The 100 Rs autorickshaw took me to Pushkar Inn on the eastern side of Pushkar Lake
Turned Vegetarian
Finally sat down for late lunch at 4pm in the garden courtyard of Alpine Garden restaurant. All the menu had was vegetarian dishes. This is Pushkar, the holiest of the holy, as I was informed. But I could order meat dishes and alcohol if I ask very discreetly. Uhmmm...I think I better not, not sure if the meat is even fresh, considering everyone here is a vegetarian.
So including yesterday, I would be abstaining from meat for a minimal of 3 days! Bravo for a carnivore like myself! The chow mien was really bad by the way. The waiter also admitted that their chinese cooking was not up to scratch but I should try their Italian food next time
The Pushkar Lake Sunset
The ghat directly in front of Pushkar Inn is the perfect setting for a sunset view. The warm light glowed magically over Pushkar Lake, casting shadows of surrounding ghats onto the glistering reflection of the Pushkar sunset. So serene and peaceful, until a small group of musicians and singers parked themselves in front of my view and started serenading me with traditional folk songs. It was quite nice by the way so I parted with my 50 Rs and they moved on to the next foreigner. This sunset will be ranked highly on my list of wonderful sunsets that I had experienced.
The Return of Delhi Belly
You wouldn't think a holy site like Pushkar would be celebrating a western holiday like Christmas...but here we were, christmas party at the Sunset Hotel that put on repeat an acquired playlist of mind boggling doof doof that went on til 1 am in the morning followed by traditional drum banging and sitar plucking. Seriously...its 3am. Full blast hardcore trance at the holiest of the holiest Brahma city? The organizers ought to be locked up for 24 hours in a cell with Bieber on repeat as a punishment!
The most recognisable track out of the din was Dr Alban's Its My Life...oh my god..I spent my entire life cremating that dreadful song and it surfaced here of all places! Not to my surprise, my delhi belly made a full return. Considering that most of my day was spent on buses, it was really not a great day...with the exception of that nice sunset.

Power tool maker Ryobi launched the first affordable portable benchtop planer, the AP10. The company has brought a number of other products within reach of the do-it-yourself enthusiast. The BT3000 was the first affordable, precision woodcutting system, and the 18v Super Combo was the first cheap cordless power tool system in which a number of tools shared the same battery, including the drill. In addition to the low initial purchase price, Ryobi tools have extensive consumer-serviceable maintenance features, which helps keep ownership costs low. One of these features is the easily removable chuck in its drills.
Things You'll Need
- 5/16" or larger hex key wrench
- Mallet
- Screwdriver
Lock the drill's trigger switch. Place the selector that changes the direction of rotation in the center position. The switch is adjacent to the trigger.
Insert the 5/16" hex key into the chuck and tighten the jaws. Get them as tight as possible.
Tap the hex key with the mallet in a clockwise direction. Tap the hex key quite sharply. The screw inside the chuck will loosen.
Open the chuck jaws and take out the hex key. Use the screwdriver to unscrew the screw. It has left-hand threads and unscrews in a clockwise direction.
Put the hex key back into the chuck and tighten the jaws again. Tap the hex key with the mallet---this time in a counter-clockwise direction. The chuck will loosen.
Unscrew the chuck by hand.
Tips & Warnings
- Remove the battery pack from the drill before performing maintenance.

hello.did someone buy from this ebay seller: predalien64
are they good?
hello.did someone buy from this ebay seller: predalien64
are they good?
no one??
I bought a bare kit from him a couple of months ago (cant comment on the finished ones). I wanted a sidewinder kit but had to cut cost somewhere (spent more on the armor, guants, and JP, did not want to upgrade those later). The raw kit needed a fair amount of work. Dimensions are pretty accurate. Everything is pretty accurate BUT the trigger and the back of the body. The trigger is the wrong dimensions and the cocking area is wrong. For trooping though it would be just fine. I replaced the trigger with another one. The stock is one solid piece so heavy in that area. This also puts pressure on the frame. Would help if the frame was metal. Once again I am happy with mine for trooping for now but will eventually upgrade to a better more accurate one.
The gun does not look very acurate, but the greeble kit looks pretty decent.
I dont know what these sell for, but they seem like they would be a decent trooping blaster. I dont think anyone but the serious fett enthusiest would know the difference.
Out of curiouslity how much are they?
I bought one fully assembled from him off of Ebay quite awhile ago before I knew there were great prop/blaster makers on here. The blaster is light and feels pretty sturdy. I had asked him not to paint the front orange but he did anyway. Oh well, it comes off easily with paint remover and fine grit sandpaper. It definitely is not 100% accurate. It'll work very well for a lightweight halloween/trooping alternative. The scope is real and has crosshairs. No one outside of TDH will be able to tell the difference. I got mine for $140.00 assembled/painted black/shipped.
i paid 140$ for mine
what are the differences?
i thnik i will sell it again and buy a sidewinder...
Last edited by salamanderking; Sep 27, 2009 at 11:06 AM.
no personal experience with this seller - but his ebay store is called House Shadow Wolf Ltd
there was a Buyer Beware put out on the store on Clone Empires a while back (Apr 2008) with regard to his CLONE ARMOUR only
all he seems to put out now are resin replacements for various blasters, dont see any TK or Clone armour
Sidewinder all the way. $300 gets you a fully assembled, weathered, and shipped blaster. He'll also tailer the paint to a style that suits your look.
what does make the other Blaster?

Bigfoot Camera
What Camera Could Work Best to Photograph Bigfoot?
People who wish to hunt
for Bigfoot must choose
what camera to employ
for capturing evidence.
Because Bigfoot
creatures are typically
considered to be
nocturnal, a normal
camera with flash is not a
good idea. The flash unit
itself will frighten every
living animal within 50 yards. The other issue with using a camera with flash in the dark is
that you cannot see what you are photographing. So begins our quest to find a
Bigfoot Camera: Video With Infrared
Most Bigfoot researchers choose to use cam corder with night shot capabilities. This
means that the video camera has the ability to switch over to "night vision" and often
comes with a low-power Infrared (IR) light to illuminate the darkness a very short distance.
The problem with these cameras are that they are becoming hard to find, especially the
Sony brand models. The night vision capability has been removed in the latest models.
Reportedly, there might be a few other models out there with night vision capability. If you
can find a Sony camcorder with night shot, you will need a strong, battery-powered IR light
to shine through the woods. The light will be invisible to the human eye but not to the
camera. Drawback: IR only allows the camera to see in the Near Infrared spectrum.
Bigfoot Camera: Are We Able to See Bigfoot?
We wanted to approach something else with the Bigfoot camera question. Some
researchers believe that Bigfoot has remained elusive because the creature must be
multidimensional. What does that mean? We suppose in theory that multidimensional
suggests that Bigfoot might be able to move in and out of the visible spectrum – the human
range of sight. If true, this would mean that the creatures may be harder to see than first
conceived. Maybe, eyewitnesses of Sasquatch were very lucky to be able to see these
animals with the naked eye.
The visible range refers to range of light between the Ultraviolet and Infrared regions on the
electromagnetic spectrum. We are able to see within the wavelength range from 380 – 750
nanometers. What about the range above and below human eyesight? Could Bigfoot be
appearing beyond our vision at times? If so, we would need a Bigfoot camera that could
see what we see and beyond. This type of camera exists and is known as a "full spectrum
camera." The typical full spectrum camera does not have the CCD or CMOS sensor (the
eye of the camera) filtered, allowing its full potential range of vision to be used. These
cameras should be able to see from about 330 – 1200 nanometers maximum potential. If
one of these cameras were deployed in Bigfoot research, perhaps better success in
capturing photographs and video of Bigfoot might be achieved.
Bigfoot Camera: What Lighting?
It would not be enough to have a camera with a wide-open eye to see Bigfoot. We surmise
that the lighting used to detect Bigfoot might also need to be adjusted. After all, the Bigfoot
camera would only see within the light spectrum available to its sensor. That would suggest
that lighting might need to be an IR/UV type of light – effectively illuminating the darkness
above and below the visible light range. Or perhaps, choosing full spectrum lighting with
bulbs in all three ranges (UV, IR, Visible) might work best.
Bigfoot Camera: Where Can I Get One?
Well, as of this writing, no one is offering a "Bigfoot Camera." However, you can search for
a full spectrum camera and let the experimenting be done. Perhaps, you can make one out
of an old camera.
We found the following links that might prove helpful in our Bigfoot camera quest:
Make Your Own IR Camera
- not many megapixels but a cool idea!
Infrared Illumination
- IR - only but cool!
AC-Powered Full Spectrum Lighting
- would work well if you have a plug!
Battery Powered Lights
- intriguing for this project!
Full Spectrum Cameras
- these inexpensive cameras take photos and shoot video! With
the right lighting, these could work well as a Bigfoot camera!

Sometimes it will start right up, other times it will require holding the ignition for around 5 seconds while it misses a few times between finally starting up. The tech who looked at it said it's getting good fuel pressure, but that one of the poppets in the spider was sticking and allowing pressure to leak down between starts. I'm trying to sell the wonderful family hauler after 11 years of loyal service, but don't want to scare away a prospective buyer. Is it possible to cure a sticky poppet with a fuel system cleaner, or do I need to replace the spider with a replacement (~$750ish)?

Digital Web Magazine would like to wish Garrett, Jonathan Snook, Paul Jarvis, and Joseph Wain congradulations on passing this milestone and we look forward to the up and coming redesign. If you haven't yet checked out YourTotalSite yet I highly recommend you give it a spin.

Latest Incredible Bank Reviews
AOReviewed By Adam O. Jun 17, 2013
Was OK, until
I didn't login for about 12 months. Had $5K there. They then levied a $15 paper statement fee on me because they automatically converted me back to paper statements as I hadn't logged in. But I've been downloading transactions to Quicken for some time.
Called them up, and they refused to waive the fee.
Frankly not at all what I want in a financial institution. There are many online banks and I recommend folks put their money at a bank that doesn't have customer unfriendly policies such as this.Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

Unusable Online Banking Interface, Unexpected Changes In Service With High Fees
Lured by the relatively high interest rate, I opened an Incredible Bank account last year. The idea was to use it for holding a 'rainy day fund' linked to my main checking account.
Once I signed up, the online banking interface immediately made me a little suspicious. It is clumsy and ugly and unpolished compared to every other online service I currently use. It looks like a throwback to the 1990's.
I was further put off by the difficulty of actually linking the accounts. I had never had any trouble linking my checking account to accounts at other banks, so I can only assume the problem was with Incredible Bank.
The final straw was the surprise of receiving an old-fashioned paper statement (in typewriter font), and seeing that the bank had charged me $15 for it. I called and was told that my account had reverted to 'offline banking' because I had not logged in for two months. The representative said she would only give me a partial refund, but that was 2 days ago and I still do not see it in my online transaction history.
Overall, Incredible Bank is an incredibly shoddy outfit. Not worth the tiny extra amount of interest at all.Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?
