I can't believe it's almost Friday. Horray!
If this week is any indication, my last semester of grad school is definitely going to be a crazy one. 😉 I have lots on my mind, so please don't mind while I babble. 😉
Thursday Thoughts
1. I'm heading to New York City in two weeks! I'll be taking a cheap bus (you know, the ones with stinky bathrooms?) to the Big Apple, but for $15/ticket, there's no other way to do it. My list of "must-do's" in NYC includes:
- Visit Eataly and eat fresh mozzarella, marinated olives and Italian sashimi at this restaurant.
- Dinner at vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. I have my eye on Mushroom "scallops" with Brussels sprouts and Shitake-Miso Broth.
- Workout at SoulCycle alongside Kelly Ripa
- Stock up on peanut butter at PB&Co.
- Visit Vosgue's (the maker of my favorite chocolate bar)
- Tour Chobani Soho
2. Speaking of which, did you know that you can save 'dough' on your CHO? Earlier this week, I realized that Chobani offers coupons on their website!
I immediately printed those babies out and trekked to the grocery store, only to find that yogurt was on sale! Coupon + sale = major steal. What would any yogurt-loving savvy sister do in this situation? Oh yes, she would buy three quarts!
3. Next week I begin a new job with Infinity Wellness! On Wednesday night, I attended orientation and learned about what I'll be doing as a WELLKids health coach. I'm extremely grateful to be part of this organization, and SO pumped to begin inspiring kids to lead healthy lives!
4. Yogurt bowls are my new favorite on-the-go meal. In an effort to make my way through the aforementioned yogurt before it goes bad, I've been eating yogurt bowls once, twice, sometimes three times/day. All of my classes are three hours long, so I have to pack substantial snacks to eat while I'm listening to lectures. Instead of bringing stinky hard boiled eggs (the best way to turn your classmates into enemies!), I'm packing delicious bowls of yum.
These are some of the combinations I've been enjoying lately both at home and on-the-go. I'll spare you the tupperware pictures. Actually, there are none; it's embarrassing enough to eat in class, let alone take pictures of my tupperware during class. 😉
plain 2%/pistachios/dark chocolate/milk chocolate
Chobani Soho's menu has been my creation inspiration!
2% plain/walnuts/honey/fresh figs/coconut
I'm also loving this take on PB&J:
2% plain/peanut butter/raspberries/peanuts
As you may have noticed, I'm a 2% convert. That extra smidgen of fat makes all the difference; the yogurt is SO much creamier!
5. I don't follow a Paleo diet, but this list of Paleo school lunches has given me some great ideas for portable meals (I can only eat so many yogurt bowls). Who says school lunches are only for kids? I plan on baking these mini frittatas tonight (sans the prosciutto because I'm on a tight grad student budget).
6. I've been scouring job websites like it's my job! Since I graduate in December, I'm beginning to think about where I want to live and which positions in the health and wellness industry I want to apply for. During my search the other day, I googled "dream jobs" and found this list. #1 sounds like it would be a pretty sweet deal—literally!
[source] Would you want to be paid to taste ice cream?
6. This quote inspires me to make the most of every moment of each day.
Thank you so much for reading! You all bring happiness to my day, every day!
<3 <3 <3
What is your job? What is your DREAM job?
Is there anything I should add to my "must-do" list in New York City?
What's your go-to meal on-the-go?

What was the Western Front in WWI?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Western Front in World War I was the part of the war that was fought in Western Europe. This is as opposed to the other fronts of the war, which were fought in places like Russia or at Gallipolli in Turkey.
The battles of the Western Front were fought mainly in Belgium and in France. This was the part of the war in which the infamous trench warfare was most prevalent. The battle lines on the Western Front stayed in essentially one place for most of the war while hundreds of thousands of people died trying to make those lines move.

Oversold and Overrated
This is not a pub hotel.
This is a pub with rooms above. The accommodation was far too small for comfort and all round tired and dingy. Breakfast time of 7.30am to 8.30am is completely user unfriendly, hence we did not eat there. A completely forgettable experience and well overpriced at £125 per night.

Very disappointing accommodation,but close to city.
Not as it looked or read online.
It's poor value for the money. The only good points are it was close to the City(5 min stroll),and some nice pubs and restaurants close by.

Delapidated hotel
If it was not for the friendliness of the manager at this hotel, I would not have wanted to stay at all.
He was the one positive thing during our stay. We were put in the annexe where the leather sofa and bar stool were ripped and tatty. The oven door was broken and there were bits of mismatched furniture. Upstairs lights in the bathroom were not working, but even that could not hide the black mould and the filthy shower curtain and dirty floors. Fortunately the bed linen and towels were spotlessly clean . This room was billed as home from home,.... I'm not sure what sort of home the author lives in, but I shall not be visiting again.

the old black horse on a hot night!
The main 'plus' with the Old Black Horse was the convenient location for local historic sites eg Magdalen and other colleges,Botanic gardens etc.The landlord was there to greet us on arrival,and later gave us a map to help find our way round Oxford.
Our ground floor room was called a flat by the landlord,and was reached via an outside door and private car park.On a busy road,so noise from traffic and people during the night could be a problem.Although the flat had a brand new bathroom and kitchenette,the bedroom was very 'dated' and in need of complete refurbishment.It was a very hot summer's day(and night) and the bedroom window would not open and the room was extremely hot. Breakfast was served in the pub itself and was satisfactory.

So we're here.
22 hours of travel. 3 glasses of wine. 1 horrific hour at Heathrow, during which I was stripped of my pride, dignity, and every container of babyfood I'd imported from America.
But I digress.
This place, Rome, it's not so bad, but it is essentially crazy. Last night we strapped on a beach bag and a hiking backpack and walked 4 miles in light rain to and fro the grocery store and the cell phone shop. We ended up with a rather motley assembly of groceries and no cell phones, but the fact remains: we tried.
And. AND…we found tortilla chips and something called beans in chilly, which look sort of like pinto beans and taste not very like them at all…but which will most definitely do the job.
A brief summary of Italy thus far. It is: inconvenient, messy, loud, languid, glamorous, indulgent, sensual, historic, frenetic, and peaceful, all at once. The boys are nuts, we're sleep deprived, (in fact, Joey is yelling at me from his packnplay even now, at 10 pm) but we're still really happy to be here.
We had a picnic lunch today at the base of Castello San Angelo and ate brie, bread, apples, dark chocolate and Coke like it was a delicacy. And it tasted like it was. Joey chased pigeons, rode the filthy carousel, and generally played the part of 'city kid' to a T.
I think we'll do just fine here.
But damn, my feet hurt.

If there was one constant in 2008's pop sweepstakes, it was the rapid ascent of female solo artists willing to toe the line between pop diva and electroclash queen. The ubiquity in 2007 of Daft Punk and Justice seems to have emboldened a new generation of producers to harshen up the beats of dance pop and add some grit to tween pop. How else explain the jolting dance rock of, say, MILEY CYRUS's "Fly on the Wall" (on the otherwise turgid Breakout), or BRITNEY SPEARS's über-catchy "Womanizer"? The thing about diva pop is that as pop music (somehow) becomes more flagrantly sexual, the hand tips toward female artists who know how to channel that sexual energy into a dance vibe. Which means that even an ode to being cheated on (like "Womanizer") or a diatribe against an ex who couldn't commit (like BEYONCÉ's tribal detonator "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)") can be a banger if there's enough sass and 'tude thrown in.
This new attitude also opened the door to newcomers (with the right producers). I was particularly impressed with a number of production jobs by French electro-shocker SPACE COWBOY, who worked magic for ennui-laden British tartNADIA OH (with her offhandedly slut-tastic "My Egyptian Lover" off her Hot Like Wow album) and especially rising starLADY GAGA(whose album title The Fame could be prophetic if enough people hear glam-slam-thank-you-ma'am smashes-in-waiting like "Starstruck," "Just Dance," and "Poker Face"). Of course, the story of the year in terms of sassy chicks being provocative isKATY PERRY, who turned her back on her strict religious background just long enough to pen her ode to making out with another girl as long as her boyfriend doesn't mind, "I Kissed a Girl."
Meanwhile, the more accessible acts of the underground seemed intent on reanimating the corpse of the '80s. M83's lauded Saturdays = Youth whooshed listeners back to their respective proms with its John-Hughes-soundtrack-that-never-was. New Zealand oddball Pip Brown a/k/a LADYHAWKE put together a stunning pastiche of invented '80s-isms, creating anthemic dance pop that rocks hard and mopes harder — like Bananarama fronting Depeche Mode. And São Paulo players CSS continued to party all over the world on Donkey, with their increasingly sophisticated synth/guitar rock/pop carried aloft by lead singer Lovefoxxx's mix of innocent ineptitude and charming viciousness. Brooklyn'sGANG GANG DANCE departed from their formless morass of wordless space jams to merge sparkling washes, weightless euphoria, worldbeat-inflected gaiety, and sex-starved dance-floor whump on Saint Dymphna.
When pop music is at its giddiest, heavy metal can be depended on to bum everyone back down to earth, and the newMETALLICA record would do just that if it weren't so thrilling to hear these dudes defiantly back in the saddle again. Sounding like the by-product of a series of stern talkings-to, Death Magnetic sees Hetfield, Ulrich, and company return to the Black Forest guitar romanticism so painfully missing from the ugly-sounding records they've pumped out over the past two decades. If they're still coming at you with songs about suicide, war, depression, and anger, at least they do so within the confines of tightly arranged jams and unbelievably gratifying waves of rockitude. But whereas Metallica got real, the rest of the metal world continued to get more unreal.AMON AMARTH and the SWORD continued in the vein of 2007's top metallers, High on Fire and Mastodon, constructing elaborate mythologies to deepen their prog-metal labyrinths. The result is accomplished stoner thrash with song titles you can barely pronounce (e.g., the Sword's axis-shifting single from '08's Gods of the Earth, "Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzepherians").

I have a gaffrig clamp on for my drives and I made a knob for my tunnel tab. They are comfortable and work great

Fred do you need 2 swithes ? Or one switch runs both drives nad then fine tune with the dash switches ?
Good Question,would Wiring Be A Little Odd Though?
Livorse also makes a wireless kit to put the trim buttons in your steering wheel.
Operates drives up or down from the throttle with just one switch for two drives.
I just got my single switch for two drives from rexmarine.com. When you order the switch, you can also purchase the diode kit which is needed to use one switch for both drives. I'd check with Fred at trickmarine.net first as he carries the switch in limited colors..... The diode kit is like 25 bucks, if your good with wiring, you could build it from radio shack....
Anyone know what size diodes to get? Just two diodes and a little wire is all you need.
Single switch works great compared to the dual dash rocker switches....
Good luck!
Trick,Fred,Just Got My Switch I Ordered From You!Got Here A Day Early,Thanks For The Great Service!One Question Though Which I Want To Make Clear Before I Start Splicing Into My Harness.It Looks Like The Blue Wire Splits From One Wire Into Two Aswell As The Green Inorder To Activate Both Drives/So Basically Im Going To Turn Two Wires Into Four/Then,When I Have Four I Install The Diodes? Does This Sound Right?? Hope I Explained It Well Enough For What Im Trying To Do?? Thanks Again ,Oh Yeah Heres A Pic
Last edited by JJONES; 09-10-2005 at 11:55 AM.
If anyone needs diodes for their drive or tab switches just go to any electronics store and get 1N4001 axial lead diodes @ 10 -20 amps. Diodes are dirt cheap, comparatively speaking.
The diodes just provide isolation to allow for continued single operation of a tab or drive. Most any diode will work as long as the current capacity is not exceeded. PIV is a non issue with 12VDC.

Hello everyone
I need to replace my highly corroded steel pipe water service. I am going to replace it with PEX. However in my research I found out that copper can kill off bacteria or other bugs by the water simply passing thru it. What I don't know is how much copper tubing does the water need to go thru to acheive this?
Also does anyone have any ideas on which PEX manufacturer has the best products & customer support service. Thank you very much for your help, sincerely lflowers

Can we sue for breach of a verbal contract?
Question Details:
I entered into a contract with a bar owner to promote the bar and to run his Saturday nights. This was witnessed by several people including his staff and friends. After 4 weeks of promoting, hiring entertainers, designing and printing up fliers, hiring a DJ and talking to the owner on several occasions, he decided to close the bar on the day of our first show. He told us that TBAC shut him down, but this wasn't true. We contacted him and he then put a womenon the phone, his supposed coordinator. She informed us that the reason we couldn't do the show is because she didn't OK it. Previously there was no mention of this lady. We have tried to contact him on several occasion and he will not speak to us. We are expecting some type of reimbursement for money spent and lost in this venture.
A verbal contract is enforceable. The problem with one is usually proving exactly what it said or what its terms were, especially if the parties disagree; however, assuming that you can prove the terms of the agreement, it is something that you could sue on. The damages you would sue for would be either (1) the costs you incurred in relying on the existence of the contract; or (2) what you would have been paid had the contract been honored. (You cannot sue for both costs and for the benefit of the contract; it's one or the other.) You should speak with an attorney, who can evaluate the strength of your case (including how easy or hard it will be to prove the contract), what it would cost to pursue it, and what you might be able to recover. In the future, make sure you put all contracts or agreements in writing. Good luck.

|Unleashing God's Truth, One Verse at a Time
I'd imagine most of us on the conservative end of evangelicalism—whether you're part of the YRR crowd or the OBR (Old, Boring, Reformed) crowd—we understand the wrongheadedness of church growth methodology. It's easy to see how men like the early pioneers of church growth (Donald McGavran, C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller) and their most famous disciples (Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen) got it wrong.
The theology of the Bible teaches us God is absolutely sovereign over salvation; He alone predestines, calls justifies, and glorifies fallen sinners who are dead in trespasses and sin. Christ is the sovereign head of the church who receives the elect bride from His Father; He alone directs, equips, and grows the church according to the will of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the executor of the Father's will, drawing the elect to Jesus Christ; He alone regenerates the sinner, seals the elect, and empowers the church for growth and service.
We don't deny the human element, even as we affirm monergism and divine initiative. God uses means and we're part of the means He uses to do His work, right? As Paul said, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." And it's important to see that the apostolic pattern of planting and watering were not according to a pragmatic, "the end justifies the means" approach. Paul, Apollos, and every other exemplary minister of the apostolic age did ministry according to the means God prescribed (i.e., Ephesians 4:11-16) and not according to what seemed reasonable to the culture (i.e., 1 Corinthians 2:1-5).
The end goal, as well as the means employed to achieve that end, are important to God. So, when we use pragmatic-oriented church growth principles to plant and water, we go against the grain, planting and watering according to the pattern of the flesh rather than the power of the Spirit. That's wrong. We, along with Paul, want the faith of those who hear us to rest, not "in the wisdom of men but in the power of God" (1 Corinthians 2:5).
So, here's my concern: Are we truly squeaky-clean? Are we free from the charge of pragmatism? Do we condemn in our preaching what we practice in our ministries?
At times, I can imagine the church growth practitioners with wry smiles on their faces. They listen to us condemn the methodologies they've openly embraced, while using them to grow our churches and ministries. Sure, there's a difference in degree, but that only makes our public denouncements all the more hypocritical. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
When those of us who claim to be Reformed, or Calvinists, or faithful adherents to the Doctrines of Grace (or whatever the most accurate title happens to be for your brand of biblical fidelity), when we eschew in our preaching and teaching what we practice in our ministries, we unwittingly become one of the strongest arguments in support of evangelical pragmatism.
So, just to help you think it through, to provoke you a wee bit, here's a quick Top 10 list you can use to evaluate yourself and your ministry for signs of pragmatism.
I know that's a short, somewhat simplistic, and woefully incomplete list, but hey, it's a start. If any of those points are true of you or your church, you might need to repent. Start by confessing your sin of relying on the flesh and using fleshly methods, and study the Scripture to set a positive course for your ministry.
Learn to live by faith and not by sight; that is to say, stop counting! God's work is largely invisible, growth takes take time, and wisdom is generally not recognized by her contemporaries, but by all her children (Luke 7:35).

Evans, Mary (2011) David Willetts' blaming of feminism for male working class unemployment reveals the inner workings of the Tory mind: a hatred of the agency of women and the suspicion of progressive movements. British Politics and Policy at LSE (05 Apr 2011) Blog Entry.
Download (43Kb) | Preview
Last Friday, the universities Minister David Willetts commented that women's progress in the workplace has prevented working class men from attaining well-paid jobs, saying that "Feminism trumped egalitarianism". Mary Evans critically unpacks these comments and says that not only are they ignorant and prejudiced, but they also show the deep suspicion of Conservatives to progressive movements.

Lloyds prices TSB stock market listing below book value
By Matt Scuffham
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Lloyds Banking Group has priced the stock market listing of its TSB business at below book value, aiming to attract investors amid a flurry of new issues and make progress on a much-delayed, costly sale.
Lloyds, 25 percent-owned by the government, is obliged by European competition regulators to sell the 631 branches which now form TSB as a condition for their approval of state aid received by the bank during the financial crisis five years ago.
Lloyds had to ask the European Commission to extend an original deadline of November 2013 to the end of 2015 after a planned sale to the Co-operative Bank collapsed, sparking a parliamentary inquiry, and the cost of the entire sale process has risen to 1.6 billion pounds ($2.7 billion).
Banking industry sources expect Lloyds to sell TSB in three or four tranches, just as part state-owned rival Royal Bank of Scotland did with the sale of its Direct Line insurance business, which was sold off in stages with each tranche priced higher than the previous sale.
The initial price reflects a cooling of investor interest in UK company flotations in recent weeks after a rush of activity earlier in 2014. Clothing chain Fat Face pulled its planned London listing last week while shares in insurance-to-holidays firm Saga have fallen below their issue price.
"I am feeling these IPOs (initial public offerings) are starting to grow weary on investors. Bearing in mind Lloyds need to make the disposal as they are obliged, it may be just a case of them making sure it is fully subscribed to," said Ed Woolfitt, head of sales at stockbroker Galvan.
Lloyds said the shares would be sold at between 220 pence and 290 pence each, valuing TSB at between 0.7 and 0.9 times its book - or net asset - value of 1.6 billion pounds.
At the mid-point of the range the business is valued at 1.3 billion pounds ($2.1 billion). Continued...

Saturday was Mike Vieyra's 7th annual Run Across Erie County. Originally planned as a 50K (30 miles), Mike rerouted to make it a 20-miler that started in Edinboro (at the Crawford County Line) and ran to Manchester Road in Fairview, not quite county to county, but close.
Mike Vieyra, Fred Beckwith, Karen Manganaro and Jan Comi did the hilly 20-mile course. Dan Cass ran ahead, got lost and did 25.8 miles before Mike Vieyra found him. When Mike heard Dan's mileage, he said…"Well, get out…may as well go for the marathon distance!" Dan was having none of that. He was good it being not quite a marathon, but close.
Dan assures me that this is not how he felt Saturday. 🙂

South Korea says Japan must heal wounds of wartime excesses
By Jack Kim
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's president-elect said on Friday that Japan needed to come to terms with its colonial history as tension between two Asian allies of the United States simmered over Japan's rule of Korea and an island dispute.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in a December 31 interview he wanted to issue a statement that would supersede a landmark 1995 apology for Japan's military aggression, a move bound to raise hackles in South Korea, ruled by Japan from 1910-1945, and in China, where bitter wartime memories run deep.
Japan's top government spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, confirmed on Friday that Abe wanted to issue his own "forward-looking" statement but also told reporters the 1995 statement by then-premier Tomiichi Murayama would stand.
"The two sides must have a correct view of history and pursue a future of reconciliation and cooperation," South Korean President-elect Park Geun-hye told Abe's aide, Fukushiro Nukaga, in Seoul, according to her spokeswoman, Cho Yoon-sun.
A "correct view of history" is shorthand for South Korea's desire for Japan to acknowledge its wartime and colonial excesses, something Tokyo says it has already done.
"The older generation must make the commitment to try to heal the wound, and must not become an obstacle to opening the way for the future generation."
China's Foreign Ministry said the Murayama statement was a "solemn declaration of attitudes and promises" made to countries in Asia victimized by Japanese invasion and colonization.
"We hope Japan can adopt a spirit of reflecting on history and facing the future, and properly handle relevant issues," ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing. Continued...

Clawfoot tub faucet diverter not working
1 Attachment(s)
My clawfoot tub faucet is in need of repair. The lever that controls the tub or shower option stopped working. It became very loose and I could not get water to come out at all. I can't find much info about this on the web. From what I can gather its a compression valve problem?? There appears to be a torn plastic washer. Can this brass fitting be removed and replaced? Help!
Good thing everyone has a digital camera and you can attach pictures to your posts... huh? Do that and we'll try again... OK?
That's odd because I did attach a photo and I can see it.
It appears that the brass fitting has threads in the center...
probably for a handle. Put that handle or a bolt in there and pull.
That should get it out.
Find a really good plumbing supply house.
Take the fitting and the picture there.

I don't half ass anything! I pride myself on always giving 110% at everything I do. I focus on a goal and work my hardest to capture it. I love to experience new things and try to live each and everyday to the fullest
For everyone who writes to me:
I take all of the kind words to heart! They are greatly appreciated! I will do my best to give you all a reply. If you are interested in working together, Please give me as much info. as possible... xoxo
Please do not send me bogus work offers. My time is money, as I'm sure your's is too. If you would like to book me, please send me details of the assignment: the 4 most important things to me being Pay, Dates, Location, & Type of work.
NO NUDE WORK! (I may do implied with certain photogs but that is by my choice). There is nothing wrong with nudity, I just simply don't have the desire to do it. Thanks to all those who understand.
No More TFP. Depending on my schedule and the assignment I may make exceptions. I am always looking to expand my port, but like I said my time is money. Never hesitate to ask! I don't bite
My prices range, depending on many factors of the project at hand. Please don't ever assume I'm out of your price range, b/c you never know. Just ask.
I am ALWAYS traveling for work, and available to travel anywhere in the world at anytime, but expenses must be paid for. Their is some flexiblity in this regard, but we must discuss prior to making any final arrangements.
Any other questions, feel free to send me a PM (I may overlook your tags and/or comments).

ACS confirms they are closing June 2013
Posted in the Utica Forum
1 - 20 of 63 Comments Last updated Sep 11, 2013
#1 Jan 29, 2013
ACS(xerox) will officially shut down June 2013. As the spouse of an employee who works there I am fearful that in the next coming months as the company begins their "reduction in workforce" that many will be fired for petty reasons as an attempt to limit the amount of employees to receive unemployment benefits and/or severance. What are your thoughts?
#2 Jan 29, 2013
ACS is not closing. The direct side is closing but there are other departments.
#3 Jan 29, 2013
Lol. In other words, the side people cared about closing is closing
#4 Jan 29, 2013
You're correct Amanda. I should have made that a little more clear. The Direct Loan Servicing Center is closing. Megnpie-It is true that the DLSC was an important entity contracted by the federal government, but with Unemployment rates being so high, any mass shut down of any occupation is a terrible thing.
#5 Jan 30, 2013
I got out of that hell hole and couldn't be happier. It's a blessing, trust me. My friend still works there and says part timers are getting laid off in march, any truth to this?
#6 Jan 30, 2013
Not necessarily. Salary based employees will be 1st, primary phone reps next and phone/ processing reps last. It really depends on your friends functions.
#7 Jan 30, 2013
How many people are we talking here? This does not sound good. Add to that Remington Arms.......And what is coming into the area?? Anything??
#8 Jan 30, 2013
Losing too many employers and jobs.
#9 Jan 30, 2013
I worked there for years and it is a hell hole! Management sucked the life out of good employees showing favorotism to young kids who had never had a job before. I saw it all going down hill and got to hell out! Makes me happier than shit to see some of the supervisors get done cause they sat on their asses and pulled the high pay while they kept cutting the workers pay. Sad for the area but everyone knew for last couple of years it was headed that way and should have looked elsewhere.
Since: Feb 12

#10 Jan 30, 2013
Man, you're looking at 2200 jobs if both places close. Just amazing how fast this area has collapsed.
#11 Jan 30, 2013
I am so sorry guys.... I tried to get you all to fight months ago. To unionize it was your only chance, but not enough of you were willing to stand by my side. I wish i could go back in time. I would of tried to do more :(
#13 Jan 30, 2013
Unionizing would have done nothing for this situation I hate to give a reality check here. They lost the servicing contract and having a union wouldnt have changed that. People saw through that entire movement and saw things would have been worse if they followed you and unionized. Unions only care about making sure people pay their dues.
#14 Jan 30, 2013
800 employees will be gone come June.
#15 Jan 30, 2013
Unions are not the answer, but rather the reason why most other employers left the Mohawk Valley in the past.....good thing they are gone for good.....someday we'll stand the chance of coming back without them.
#16 Jan 30, 2013
Couldn't agree more Bbo.
#17 Jan 30, 2013
What is surprising is no one reporting about it not wktv or utica od you would think with that many jobs gone u would hear something on the news
#18 Jan 30, 2013
Unions were the answer you fool, they would a hard time firing you. People with less seniority would of been forced out first. How the hell do you think the 3% raises happened with threats of discontent. It was ACS's all over the country ready to take part in it. We had the support of international ACS's in Germany, Mexico and India All were willing to do their part to throw the company under the bus, 5 locations stateside were considering the same. It took months of planning to get to that point.... why the hell do you think ACS was scared sh!tless and started having meetings all over.. Xerox was starting to piss themselves. We even had the backing of the occupy movement in Syracuse and Utica. It looks like your losing now.. in retrospect you had nothing to lose...
#19 Jan 30, 2013
Its not 800 jobs. There is 800 people currently employed by ACS. But they aren't all getting laid off. Around 300 will be laid off. The direct loans lost their contract. And they are looking to replace that part of the building with another business line. ACS is owned by Xerox and they will find something to put there.
#20 Jan 30, 2013
people should know the FACTS before they start commenting on things 1st of all they DO DRUG TESTS and 2nd WE ARE CLOSING they have officially made it news to us EMPLOYEES that starting in March they will start laying people off GET A LIFE AND KNOW YOUR FACTS!!! THANK YOU
#22 Jan 30, 2013
The benefits really sucked working there. I actually lost money in the savings plan 2 years in a row, and nothing was covered by their piss poor high deductible med plan. Maybe QC agents will get canned first since all quality is about to go out the door anyway.

Today's Specials: Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Howl's Moving Castle; Christian-defamation; pirated DVD reviews
Today's specials:My Reel News at CT Movies focuses on the end of the Disney boycott, but there are a lot of other news links as well. Peter Chattaway takes a look at Mr. and Mrs Smith AND Howl's Moving Castle. Some folks who are fed up with "Christian-defamation" in Hollywood are teaming up with Ted Baehr to try and stop it. When Christians are criticized in Hollywood films, what do you think our primary response should be? To turn defensive and protest? Just curious. (Personally, I … [Read more...]
For those who are still telling me Bono isn't a Christian…
Recently I spoke in church about the "ministry" of U2 through their music and through their involvement in aid for Africa. Afterward, I heard from someone arguing the same thing I've heard for decades... that Bono may use a lot of religious references, but he's really just a rock star who's sold out for the love of money.Frankly, I'm not very interested in arguments about the state of Bono's soul. That's not my business. But I *am* excited that the biggest rock star in the world uses his … [Read more...]

text: From someone's good luck at GW not long ago, I decided to check the bed linens dept. at GW. I found two king-sized sheet sets--Ralph Lauren, 100% cotton (looks like Egyptian cotton, too) for $3 a set. Both look as good as purchased yard goods right off the bolt. Lots of good quilt lining material for pennies--and wide, too. I had baby quilts in mind, so I have enough from these sheets to line several.

Kara Kovalchik was born in Detroit and currently lives in the leafy suburb of Birmingham, MI, where she and her husband Sandy Wood spend their days ferreting out fun, fascinating trivial facts for mental_floss, Reader's Digest, CNN Headline News, and a series of books (to name but a few of their projects). After more than 20 years of blissful togetherness, Sandy has learned to tolerate and even indulge Kara's love of '70s music, classic TV sitcoms, kitschy collectibles, The Walking Dead, Lifetime movies, Mystery Science Theater 3000, sparkly silver spoon rings, true crime stories, and her "unequalled ability to be fascinated by absolutely nothing." She enjoys hearing from readers, even the "I'm an 11-year-old boy named Kenny and my teacher made me write this" messages. (What she's waiting for is an email that says "I'm a 45-year-old man named Norman Reedus and this fire in my loins made me write…")
