I received billing for 316.49 from Travres Travel. I did not make any reservations for a motel room through them. I was at home on the stated date of the transaction. This billing is a complete rip-off and a lie. I will pay my bill, but I expect a refund to my Am. Express account for said occurence. Someone needs to stop these people.

The Daily Telegraph has attacked the National Union of Journalists in a leader column, claiming it is "training its guns on its own side" with the position it has taken on the future of press regulation.
In a strongly worded leader published on Wednesday, the paper accused the NUJ of being "willing to sacrifice" the "hard-won" freedom of the press in pursuit of a leftwing agenda and questioned whether the union is still fit to represent its members.
The editorial was prompted by a statement issued by the NUJ general secretary, Michelle Stanistreet, earlier this week announcing it was supporting the creation of a statute to underpin a new press regulator in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal.
Stanistreet's statement was "managerial gobbledegook that ill befits a trade devoted to the written word", according to the Telegraph, which is owned by Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay. "The policy is simply wrong-headed," the paper added.
The Telegraph's broadside against the NUJ is the latest salvo in the lobbying battle between those wanting self-regulation of the press to be given another chance and others seeking a tougher regime, ahead of Lord Justice Leveson's report on the future regulation of the industry, due to be published in late November.
Earlier this week Stanistreet said statutory underpinning was needed to create a credible regulator to replace the much-criticised Press Complaints Commission.
"We believe that if we are to achieve independent, accountable regulation it needs to be underpinned by statute enabling a framework for a new body to be established with clear terms of reference and a structure that involves journalists and civil society as key stakeholders," she said.
But the Telegraph, which has been fighting calls for any form of statutory regulation including statutory underpinning for a new regulator, said the NUJ does not have a mandate from its members to take its position.
"Doubtless some few of the NUJ's members would support such a regime, just as some few engaged in the repulsive practice of phone hacking. But the vast majority will be alarmed that the general secretary has presumed to speak on their behalf on such an issue, with barely a hint of consultation," the leader said.
"For the NUJ to be willing to sacrifice those hard-won freedoms on the altar of Left-wing orthodoxy suggests that it is no longer fit to represent its members – who may now wish to reconsider their subscriptions."
The leader comes 24 hours after the Sun also laid into the NUJ, prompting Stanistreet to launch a defence of her statement.
"The NUJ is not advocating state control of the press – far from it. We want to ensure that the press can operate under a form of regulation that is independent of government and – critically – free from the control of the industry owners and editors," she said in a blogpost on the Press Gazette.
"Nothing new has been issued by the NUJ that would have led to the furore breaking out yesterday. But the timing is clearly quite deliberate as we gear up to the publication of Leveson's findings," Stanistreet added.
The Sun said it was "dumbfounded by the chilling decision of a union in our own trade to back Stalinist-style state regulation of newspapers".
News International's redtop daily warned in its leader that the UK could "end up like Russia, Zimbabwe and Iran, with state stooges and politicians deciding what can or can't be printed in your Sun".
Stanistreet hit back, branding the Sun leader "hysterical" and misleading.
Chris Frost, the chair of the NUJ's ethics council defended the union's position in a blog explaining that statutory underpinning did not equate to censorious state or government regulation, as suggested by professor Tim Luckhurst at the launch of Free Speech Network, which is lobbying on behalf of newspapers against any statutory regulation.
"This does not mean state regulation of the sort Luckhurst fears but an independent regulator that upholds press freedom, represents the concerns of the public and holds newspapers that abuse their power to account. Now what's wrong with that?" he said in a blog on the Press Gazette website.
Frost added that concerns that stronger regulation would bring more interference are "simply not supported by evidence".

Good treatment from Avis for a Budget rental
Pros: The vehicle was fine, and it was easy to pick it up and drop it off. The process was efficient and friendly (for the most part). The rental and insurance prices were lower than average. The Avis staff member who assisted me at Midway Airport was friendly and professional, offering great advice about which car to rent. It is kind of strange that you just go to the car, jump in, and go. I never did figure out how to open the car's trunk! . . . . The Avis and Budget cars are returned at the same location, and the joint staff there was helpful and fast.
Cons: When I approached the Budget rental desk at the airport, the one staff member behind the counter was chatting up a storm with a woman who appeared to be a friend, not a customer. She made no move to end her conversation and help me and left me standing there with my bags for ten minutes. The Avis employee at the next counter over beckoned me, told me that she could handle my reservation, and proceeded to fix me up. Cheers to her and to Avis. And to Budget: teach your customer service personnel how to do their job.

Poor service!
Cons: Upon entering the drop off location I realized I hadn't refilled the gas tank. Although I had paid for 24-hour rental service and was returning the car 10+ hours early they wouldn't let me go back and refill and charged me $100 for half a tank of gas. Almost like a blackmail!

Poor Pickup Procedure
Cons: The amount of time we waited to pick up our car was ridiculous. Every other car company had people in and out of there in no time at Midway airport. Everything else went smoothly after that.

Apr 7 2017
Pros: It was easy to pick up the vehicle at another location other than the airport. I was happy I mad this decision because of long line leaving when I returned the vehicle. There were 20 cars in line to leave the lot in one lane.
Cons: Vehicle looked nice but did not live up to current expectations when getting a rental. Old style and lacked power. No automatic start or rear view camera.

Good customer service
Pros: - Timelines and friendliness of the renter - Details and instructions concerning the rental - Good clean car - Flexibility when out of control situation happened that I could not return car on time - very affordable. I got $ 65 for 2 days.
Cons: The Kia is not so great on gas mileage... But that was not the renters issue... It's just the make and model of the car

Disappointed in customer service
Pros: My car was clean.
Cons: I was quoted a price of 13.50 a day and was charged $140.00 for my one way, 24 hour rental. There was no offer of help with my multiple luggage cases to the car and when I asked if i could leave one case inside while I went out to get the car, I was told "no". While the car was clean, there was a foul smelling air freshner used that irrated my eyes and turned them red and itchy. I won't go into the embarassment of habing red eyes to meet my grandfather for the first time in 18 years. Please reevaluate the sprays you choose to use. The drop off agent was rude and accused me of lying about my quoted price.

Not Happy with Drop Off
Pros: new car and nice bluish color; easy to pick up car and drop off car (except NO drop off sign that says Budget-I had to park and walk in to ask where to park the car). I'm not happy to spend $100 a day to rent car but it was the cheapest price available so happy about that.
Cons: ALL DIRTY WINDOWS, inside perfume smell was annoying, drop off guy had lack of communication and charged wrong credit card becuz he didn't ask me-he assumed I wanted same card charged. I expected he would ask for my charge card and my signature. He credited my account and took a different card but I did not want a charge and a credit on that card. Then the words he used seemed he was blaming ME. He was Not very apologetic at all. Plus he was RUDE to the people behind us when we left the counter.

Cons: I arrived early for my rental, but the Budget employees apparently decided to start their Saturday night early.

Pros: Car handled well. Union Station attendant was understanding.
Cons: Extremely unorganized. Car pick up was delayed by 2 hours. They offered nothing for the inconvenience. Did not mention no one would be there if car was returned after 7pm. Phone clerk was absolutely clueless. Charged me an additional $17 to bring the car back the next night. Then was charged $12 from their parking garage for having it in there for 20 minutes while trying to return it. Will not rent from again.

Poor service and attitude
Pros: The nice young woman behind the counter
Cons: Everything else. Budget wouldn't honor the reservation. They claimed I had a reservation in downtown Chicago, not at O'hare. However when I called Budget from the counter on my cell phone, their computer recognized the # and asked if the call was related to my reservation FROM O'HARE. The woman behind the counter told me she couldn't do anything, and that the $88 fare I had reserved on Kayak wasn't valid, but I could have the car for $430. Seriously. Calling Budget didn't help, they blamed Kayak. I then left by taxi since I had a business presentation to make. I am a long term customer of Kayak, but I am done with Budget. You need to address this.

Serviceable but Reeked of Cigarette Smoke
Pros: Very quick drop-off at the airport which was invaluable while trying to catch a flight. Again, car worked as promised, so no major issues there.
Cons: This car was very stinky, clearly one that a lot of cigarettes had been smoked in. After driving for an hour to my destination, then three hours to another, my clothes and luggage already reeked and I was getting a headache. Budget should notify regarding which cars are smoking vs. non-smoking and make that a selectable option for customers.

I signed up for a economy car at $135. For 4 days
Cons: I was told that price was for somewhere else in Chicago and I would have to pay $650 I called the HQ 800 number and after PLEADING with them from the off site location, reluctantly redid my contract for $354. I want I want a refund of $240.00 sent to me. I THINK YOU ARE A BUNCH OF BAIT AND SWITCH OPERATORS and will spread the word if this is not resolved. I picked Budget because of a long standing name, I wouldn't suffer this treatment.

Cons: I received a voicemail while on the plane that they ran out of cars at the airport location so they transferred our reservation to another location in the city. They would not provide a shuttle service or agree to comp us for transportation to the new location, even though the mistake was their fault. The reps on the phone were very rude and condescending. We ended up cancelling our reservation.

Return policy is stone-cold
Pros: Car was clean, people were fine, pickup was fast.
Cons: Got stuck on a two-lane highway behind a rig that caught fire and traffic was backed up for miles for 2 hours. My rental was due at 10 AM and by the time I got back it was noon. No late return fee, they simply charged me the cost of another day. However...I didn't get another day at that rate, I only got the car until 6 PM. Long story short, I paid for 2 full days and had the car for a day and a half with zero flexibility for customer service. Won't be renting again from Budget.
7.6 Good
Sep 26 2016
Pros: The car was easy to drive and clean when I picked it up.
Cons: I would have preferred to drop it off within the north side of Chicago instead of driving to the airport to return it Sunday night. I had to pay for a very expensive taxi home. The cruise control did not work and the high beams did not stay on.
4.8 Okay
Sep 20 2016
Cons: Although I was making a reservation for Midway airport, I somehow ended up with a reservation at Ohare instead.

Pros: Pick up was smooth, car was as described
Cons: I returned the car early (after just 1 day instead of 1 week as originally planned). The clerk explained that the computer wasn't working so she would send me an email with the final receipt. When I checked my emails a few hours later, I saw that she emailed me the receipt and it was for a full week rental rather than prorated for my 1 day rental. I called the local agency right away but the call was transferred to a national customer service office, and the person I spoke with said he would correct the mistake and email me the corrected receipt. Bin ever received it, so the next day I called the local agency again and spoke to the clerk, who then made the correction and sent an email with the correct amount billed. So a lot of extra effort and time needed on my part to fix their mistake.

Pros: The car was fine, the contract sucked
Cons: We dropped off a day earlier at a location that was <3 miles away....cost:$25 (all other locations were closed). We didn't prepay for gas so 1/2 a tank cost $85. The car rental was only $40/day. Shame on you Budget.

A tale of two rental agencies
Pros: Not much, the second agency made me come back since I arrived an hour before the reservation for no reason. There were plenty of cars.
Cons: The place I had a reservation with discovered that the car was reserved for one hour (instead of one day). Now how could that be? They weren't problem solvers and offered me a one day rental at three times the price on my reservation. I left and reserved at another Budget.

Clean car, terrible pick up process
Pros: Customer service rep who processed my reservation was very polite and friendly. Actual car (Chevy Equinox) was clean and comfortable
Cons: Had a reservation, yet had to wait in line over an hour before I was helped. What's the point of having a reservation ahead of time if I have to wait in same line as those who don't have one? Should have a separate line for customers with reservation Overhead several times that they didn't have the cars available that people reserved, so many of us, including me, basically had to upgrade and pay more, or wait until cars came in. We shouldn't have to pay more - not our fault fleet was inadequate.

He said "we tried to call you." No, he didn't. When I questioned further, he pushed the time to 2 pm. We called our ride to pick us up. We called back at 2, and now he said it would be 5. When we asked if we would ever get a car today, he laughed and said no, "because you reserved it yesterday." What does this even mean? First and last time to ever do business with Budget.

Worst rental experience
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I made a reservation three months early for a wedding. When I arrived to pick up the car they had no cars for me and no apologies or assistance in getting a car. They only offered to allow me to wait on the chance that a car may or may not show up that day. They claimed to have notified me by phone in the morning, but I showed them my phone log. I never received the call they claimed. Notifying me the morning of wouldn't have fixed the problem, it only would have saved me the hour trip to the rental place. I ended up using another car rental location over an hour away and paid 60% higher rate to get a last minute rental.

Don't Trust Customer Service
Pros: Got a much larger and more useful vehicle for essentially the same price as a regular mini van rental.
Cons: Spoke to two separate customer service reps to verify that my age (24) would not prevent me from receiving the vehicle I had reserved. Was told that the location I chose would have no problem accommodating me and would allow that. When I showed up to get my mini van, I was told no and had to get the branch manager involved to make an exception. Then they didn't have any mini vans so I was given a 12 passenger van. Not an issue but I had to re-purchase the insurance after I had already paid for insurance on my initial rental, was already too late to have it refunded.

I guess they call it Budget for a reason...
Pros: Ease of booking through Kayak, nothing else.
Cons: When I picked up the car, it was in a seedy location on a lot that was shared with uhaul. my rental was the only budget rental on the lot. The attendant looked like she just woke up in the back, and didn't do a walkthrough to check for damage (and there was a lot!), the car was filthy inside and out and high mileage. There was tobacco and trash inside the car, It smelled horrible inside, and the rental agreement from the previous renter was on the passenger seat. The rental was in chicago area but for some reason the license plate said Florida. It felt like the car was someone's personal car that they just decided to rent out. Also, the price of the rental i found out later was much more than other comparable car rental places in the area. upon returning the car, it was like a cattle call, they didn't say one word just gave me a receipt and walked away. Very rude staff. I didn't get a chance to explain how bad the experience was. But i doubt they care.

"I'm asking for a favor." They refused to help me. Instead, I went across the hall to National (which also posted an official 3:30 closing time.) The National rep was happy to help me out of my pinch, even though I didn't have a reservation lined up with National. Moreover, he could have exploited my vulnerability by jacking up my rate, but he matched the rate I had with Budget.

POOR! They charge you more than they claim they ar
Cons: Upon arriving at the rental counter, I told the guy behind the counter that I needed to change the dates that I would have the car. Instead of 3 days, I would need it for 4 days. The agent says no problem - he will adjust the reservation. We go through all the questions with him trying to upgrade me into a different car, culminating with him quoting me a price X for the time of the rental. I agree. Being that I had already told the agent I needed the car for 4 days and not 3, I did not think that he would quote me for 3 days. Upon returning the car, I was hit with a LATE FEE, as well as an additional day (plus all the necessary taxes on these bogus charges). After explaining what had happened to two agents, and getting nowhere...I asked for a manager. The manager on duty summed it up as "oh the agent didn't change the dates. Sorry." CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT ISN'T THAT THE JOB OF THE GUY SITTING BEHIND THE COUNTER??? He said he would do me a favor and wave the late fee. WTF!? This rental experience was bs. Bad customer service on the front end, even worse customer service on the back end. Check your paperwork with these crooks. They are out to get every dollar.

Good deal, but need more team members.
Pros: Once we got to the counter, the rep was more than courteous. He made sure we would fit in the car, he brought me to 3, an Escalade, a Navigator and an Expedition. We needed 8 seats so Expedition. Big comfortable car- sat all us well and our luggage. Didn't cost an arm and a leg. I did pay an extra 100 for the upgrade- even though it was the car I originally ordered. Dropoff was easy, pull in- they came over, checked gas and mileage and gave me a receipt. Told me to take my time unloading- at the airport. Fast and friendly.
Cons: Long wait at counter for service at pickup. Seemed staff disappeared. The Sirius radio only worked for about 5 hours of our rental, would have been nice to have the whole time.

Budget/Avis at ohare may scam u
Pros: Clean, comfortable car
Cons: We reserved a cat from ohare, we picked up the car from ohare and we returned the car to ohare. My quote was 372. We returned the car with no damage and a full gas tank and were charged 722. They claim they quoted me as renting the car from midway airport and then returning it to midway airport. There is no other explanation except they try to rip you off and hope you don't look at the recipt until it's too late. After arguing with a very rude agent for 40 min we got a manager who was professional but clueless. After about 90 min we had to go or else we would miss our flight home. We had to settle paying 480. Over a hundred dollars more than we should have. Have rented several cars before from other services and have never had a problem. Will rent from ohare airport many more times but will never at any location rent from Budget/Avis.

Try elsewhere
Pros: Drivers of shuttles were friendly and stowed and removed our luggage without being asked (I'm handicapped and use a cane). When we needed help on the road, we were able to reach a human being on the phone (true, he was unable to be of much help, but he certainly did his best). Checking the car back in, despite somewhat sketchy signs, was very quick.
Cons: Check-out agent was very pushy in trying to get us to upgrade to EVERYTHING - more expensive rental, GPS, full protection package, full tank of gas, etc, etc. Car was not well cleaned - carpet needed vacuuming, rear window was dirty - on a brand-new vehicle with less than 100 miles on the odometer! Despite having a reservation, we had to wait almost half an hour for a car. Agent led us to the car, then left - the employee that we stopped in the lot was unable to tell us how to use the cruise control (it was NOT intuitive), leading us to eventually get off the road and stop at a most helpful Nissan dealer. We had a Cadillac SRX - seats were somewhat hard, acceleration pathetic, but it handled well and had many useful features. However, wide side pillars made it difficult to detect drivers coming from angled side streets. Quite economical for the highway. So, on our next rental in two weeks, we'll try a different company and hope for a better experience.

After just one week, LeSean McCoy has been as amazing as advertised. He's been dynamic on the field and off, banging up the middle on runs as hard as he bolts around end and talking just as good a game to the media.
Make no mistake. McCoy talks the talk, but certainly can walk the walk. The first week at training camp hasn't been a roller-coaster ride for McCoy, he's been sharp from the outset, but he just might take the University of Pittsburgh football fans on one before his career is over. And Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt finally lauded him publicly.
"I've kind of been hesitant to say his name, but after (Monday's) practice I have to say some good things,'' Wannstedt said. "LeSean McCoy made some plays in today's practice that were awfully exciting. He's working extremely hard and learning the offense, and he's playing tough. And those are the things that initially we were waiting to see.''
McCoy agreed that everything is beginning to click for him now.
"I'm starting to learn the offense a lot better now,'' McCoy said. "All the basic stuff, I'm picking up on that. But it just happens so fast in college. It's different, but it's nothing I can't adjust to. I'm working on things off the field to get better on the field, and I'm looking forward to every rep I get. So, I would say the mental aspect, for me, has been the toughest part.
"This game, I always though it would be tough to get physically ready for college ball, but I can handle that. Everybody works hard off the field to get ready physically, but the mental aspect is tough. I've been running the ball forever, and I can do that. But you have to know what's going on at all times and be able to handle anything they throw at you.''
McCoy, who spent this past football season at Milford Academy prep school in New York, has sparkled in practices with the Panthers and was equally as dynamic during interview sessions with the local media. This freshman recruit is no shrinking violet on or off the football field.
"Shady, he's a big talker, but he's always been that way,'' Pitt sophomore cornerback Aaron Berry, a fellow grad from Bishop McDevitt high in Harrisburg, Pa., said, referring to McCoy by his nickname. "He backs it up on the field, though. He's a real good player.''
Berry, who doesn't lack in the confidence department either, and his teammates have seen flashes from McCoy thus far. But they expect to see more in the future. McCoy is completely recovered from the severely dislocated right ankle he suffered in high school nearly two years ago. He was on his way to a record-setting season at McDevitt. Despite missing two-thirds of his senior season, McCoy still ran for 6,640 career yards to rank ninth in Pennsylvania prep football history.
But the 5-foot-11, nearly 210-pound McCoy wasn't interested in revisiting that part of his career.
"I try not to read that stuff,'' McCoy said. "I have no stats, no touchdowns, nothing yet in college. So, there's not much to talk about.''
When asked which running back, pro or college, has a similar style, McCoy was hesitant to make a comparison. However, when pressed, he wasn't shy about it. He went for a former Heisman Trophy winner and top NFL rookie.
"I'm not sure,'' McCoy said. "I try to model my game after Reggie Bush, but probably everyone tries to do that. I'm just trying to do the best that I can do. I've been working hard on my conditioning. I run hard in practice, and I'll run hard in games. Hopefully, that'll be enough to help this team.''
Panthers followers have pined for a back like McCoy the past few seasons, a big, fast tailback to complement 5-7, 175-pound junior LaRod Stephens-Howling, who led Pitt in rushing the past two seasons.
"Coach Wannstedt, he wants a lot of things from me, as far as catching the ball and running between the tackles,'' McCoy said. "I'm just going to do everything that I can. And, hopefully, I'll do it the best that I can. The good thing about Pittsburgh, the offense we run is more like a pro-style offense.
"At McDevitt, where I had most of my success, we ran that type of offense, too. So, I think I can do pretty good in it. At least I hope so. And I feel very comfortable here. There are great coaches here, but the best guy has been LaRod. He's my roommate, and I've learned a lot from him already this year.
"It's just like a family here,'' McCoy added. "Nobody is worried about more than how the team can get better and what they can do to help the team, and that's LaRod. He's a real good guy and a terrific running back. He's been like a big brother to me, and that means a lot when you come here.''
But what about that nickname, Shady?
"My mom gave me the nickname Shady,'' McCoy said. "She said I was a shady baby. I cried, and then I'd be happy. I was smiling. So, I had a shady attitude. And it just stuck with me since I was little, so I got used to it. And since my mom gave it to me, I can't give it back.''
And after the way he's performed so far at Pitt, there's no going back for McCoy, either.

Stumbled across this brief blog post the other day. I'm relatively new to UL Backpacking and this website but I was wondering what experience people might have sleeping in a tarp setup pitched in a similar Lean-to style. Thoughts?

IMHO Brawny's set-up is a better configuration. There is less exposure to rain getting into your "living space".
She uses a 10 x 12 silnylon tarp with tie outs spaced at 2 foot intervals. Her set-up resembles a "monk" tarp but has the added benefit of a 4 foot floor inside.
I also like the simple way that she deals with the issue of flying bugs. ;-)
As with any tarp set-up you must avoid low spots, pay attention to wind direction and use natural wind breaks as much as possible.
Reducing the "area" that faces into the wind will help keep your tarp from turning into a runaway kite. That is a concern that I have in regards to the tarp configuration in the provided link to the American Bushman site in your OP.
Party On,

@jamesdmarcoLocale: Finger Lakes
One of the problems with any "fold under" type flooring is it will get wet and collect water. Keep any floor away from the edges. A lot like Brawny's set up, you realy don't want any edge exposed to water. While I have done these setups, I am not too sure about the fold under flooring. My pad (NightLite or NeoAir) works pretty well as a ground cloth. But, I do use them on occasion (when the ground is already wet.) Again, you need extreme care to avoid any additional water from entering, potentially collecting.
I really like a plain lean-to set up, if the weather is decent. But, one of the big advantages of a tarp is the possible configurations you can use. Not so much any particular "one" set-up. Base rectangle(lean-to,) A-frame (pup tent) or Diamond (diagonal) are the three possible configurations. All have their advantages.
Lean-to's have a airy lay out, nice for hot weather or for hot camps with a fire. A pup tent can be made lower and very weather resistant. A diamond is nice for smaller areas and is quite weather resistant.
Theory says that the least amount of door space will generally be the most weather and wind resistant. Low enough to slide under without touching. I spent a pretty windy night (tornado about 10mi away/50mph winds) without having any rain blowing in on me under a low pup tent. Several trees were down, many were mostly stript of leaves. Like Brawny's set up, it is possible to play orgami with doors.
A low pup-tent pitch, with one end down and tight, will be the most weather resistant. You end up in a situation where strong winds will actually lift the tarp (aerodynamic lift) even if you place the tarp away from the wind. I do not recommend this. Rather try to set the tarp at a diagonal to the wind direction. This can get a little complicated near any larger water bodies, since they will influance local winds.

Southeast Conference preview
From a winless 2011 season to a playoff berth last year, Racine Horlick is confident it can continue to improve.
Why not, with 14 starters — seven on each side of the ball — returning? And the junior varsity was undefeated last season.
"They look to be the most athletic team in the (Southeast) Conference," Kenosha Indian Trail coach Mike McKay said.
Horlick quarterback Rickey Neal has size, speed and athleticism, according to Horlick coach Brian Fletcher.
Others who also return after making first-team all-conference include defensive linemen Matt Hammond and Mike Rosquist, who led the Southeast in tackles last year.
Leon Reyes made all-league second team and is called a "strong, punishing fullback" by his coach. Another second-teamer is Avanta James, a "talented defensive back with great ball skills," according to Fletcher. Junior kicker Alex Piehler also made the second team.
Defensive lineman Isaiah McRight and linebacker Xavier Scott also made all-conference honorable mention.
Then there's running back/wide receiver Destined McKinstry, who is receiving Division I attention despite missing last season with an injury.
Reigning Southeast champion Oak Creek could compete for another title "if the defense comes together," according to Knights coach Mike Bartholomew.
Coach: Louis Brown, third year.
2012 record: 7-3, 6-1 (second).
Returning all-conference players: Sean McGuire, sr., QB, 6-2, 205; Nick Plath, sr., WR, 6-0, 170; Chad Kanugh, sr., DL, 6-5, 250; Jake Harman, sr., DL, 6-0, 240; Jake Fernandez, sr., ILB, 5-11, 210; Erik Wimmer, sr., ILB, 5-10, 210; Zak Wroblewski, sr., OL, 5-11, 240.
Other key players: Jared Karow, sr., S, 6-1, 175; Vince Hughes, jr., OL, 6-6, 235; Bryan Beck, jr., OL, 6-5, 245, Nick Davis, jr., LB, 5-10, 210.
Outlook: The team features 30 seniors but has to replace its all-conference punter and kicker. McQuire, who made first-team all-conference, is a third-year starter and senior receiver Chad Walton returns after missing last season with an injury. He made all-Southeast as a sophomore. Kanugh, Harman and Plath made all-conference second team last year.
Coach: Matt Rizzo, first year.
2012 record: 7-4, 5-2 (third).
Returning all-conference players: None.
Other key players: Luke Zuehlsdorf, sr., WR/SS, 6-2, 210; Matt Capelli, jr., MLB, 6-0, 210; La'Ryan Johnson, jr., MLB, 6-1, 220; Tyree Lanier, sr., RB, 5-8, 172; Steve Melotik, sr., OL, 6-1, 265; Taylor Stoner, sr., CB, 5-8, 180; Jay Mangum, sr., RB, 5-10, 180.
Outlook: Stoner had two interceptions and forced a fumble last year, and Zuehlsdorf finished with 15 catches and three touchdowns. There are six seniors who played on the 2011 state championship team, but Rizzo says "we will rely on a ton of sophomores...and juniors and seniors who do not have much varsity experience."
Coach: Mike McKay, second year.
2012 record: 2-7, 2-5 (fifth).
Returning all-conference players: Zach Gianakos, sr., QB, 6-3, 170; Ed Nixon, sr., OL, 5-11, 240; Michael Roach, sr., DE/LB, 6-4, 210; Izaak Simar, sr., ILB, 5-10, 180.
Other key players: Elijah Garcia, sr., WR, 5-11, 155; Ryan Chapman, sr., OL, 6-5, 253; John Holimon, sr., WR, 6-5, 185; Andrew Jazdziewski, sr., RB, 6-0, 195; Xavier Ciardo, sr., DE, 6-4, 222.
Outlook: Indian Trail returns 10 starters on defense and nine on offense, as well as its kicker and punter. But it needs to continue to develop depth at all positions, according to McKay, and change the turnover margin from last year. Roach has the potential to dominate on the defensive side and will be a big part of the offense, too.
Coach: Frank Matrise, 16th year.
2012 record: 3-6, 2-5 (fifth).
Returning all-conference players: Nick Santelli, sr., WR; Alex Buscko, sr., OL; Gage Gessert, sr., ILB.
Other key players: Willie Buege, sr., QB; Nathan Dillow, sr., DB; Leo Little, sr., RB/LB; Leif Nedweski, sr., OL/DB; Emilio Prado, sr., WR/DB; Billy Sexton, sr., OL/DL; Donovan Wesley, sr., WR/DB; Caden Wright, sr., WR/DB.
Outlook: Tremper has to replace Jazz Peavy, who is playing for Wisconsin. Matrise says his team's running game "should be good" and he's excited about the attitude of the team so far. An area of concern is the defense making stops consistently. The Trojans had a losing record last year for the first time since 2005.
Coach: Mike Bartholomew, seventh year.
2012 record: 9-1, 7-0 (first).
Returning all-conference players: Nathan Veloz, jr., OL, 6-4, 300; Elijah Strong, jr., DB, 5-11, 165; Derrick Stephan, sr., RB, 6-0, 200; Nick Baumann, sr., DB, 5-11, 180; Peter Mitchell, sr., DL, 6-3, 225.
Other key players: Matt Goebel, jr., OL, 6-5, 290; Mike Nitecki, sr., OL, 5-11, 230; Mario Arbanella, sr., TE, 6-0, 205; Eddie Reader, sr., WR, 5-10, 180; Nathan Harvey, jr., WR, 6-0, 180; Jordan Strong, sr., QB, 6-2, 180; Steve Stilwell, jr., QB-DB, 6-1, 190.
Outlook: According to Bartholomew, Oak Creek features a quality running back in Stephan, a solid quarterback in Jordan Strong, improved wide receivers and a big and physical offensive line. The secondary and defensive line should also be strong. But the team has to replace all four linebackers who made all-Southeast last year.
Coach: Andrew Pancotti, second year.
2012 record: 2-6, 1-6 (seventh).
Returning all-conference players: Daeon Farris, sr., ILB, 5-11, 195; Larry Harleston, sr., ILB, 5-9, 210; Max Pulda, sr., TE, 6-4, 205.
Other key players: Collin Cousins, sr., WR/LB, 5-10; 185; Izarious Jones, DL, 5-10, 225; Tyrese Pinson, RB, 5-8, 155; Desmond Kirby, WR, 6-4, 190; Isaiah Trussell, sr., DT, 6-4, 225.
Outlook: Pancotti says "we are still tight in number at the varsity level but have over 45 kids at the freshman level. As a program, we are the strongest we have ever been. As long as we continue to work as a team, wins will follow. The coach also complimented Harleston, Farris, Pulda and Trussell for their senior leadership.
Coach: Brian Fletcher, fourth year.
2012 record: 4-5, 4-3 (fourth).
Returning all-conference players: Rickey Neal, sr., QB, 6-2, 210; Matt Hammond, sr., DL, 6-0, 255; Michael Rosquist, sr., ILB, 5-10, 210; Leon Reyes, sr., RB, 5-10, 210; Alex Piehler, jr., K, 5-10, 175; Avanta James, sr., DB, 5-10, 170; Xavier Scott, sr., ILB, 5-11, 200; Isaiah McCright, jr., DL, 6-2, 265.
Other key players: Destined McKinstry, sr., RB-WR, 5-10, 190; Jake McFarland, sr., OL, 6-0, 235; Jordan Woiteshek, sr., OL, 5-11, 250; Jordan Mundy, sr., WR, 6-1, 180; Jake Ryder, sr., TE, 6-3, 215; Tyler Lucas, sr., DL, 6-0, 210; Drew Hardville, sr., DB, 5-10, 175.
Outlook: In addition to all of those who made all-conference, Horlick features Barry, who had 1,600 yards rushing and 25 touchdowns on junior varsity last season. Hardville is receiving Division I interest because of his good size and speed as a cornerback. Lucas led the squad in sacks last season. Woiteshek and Ryder are returning starters.
Coach: Dennis Thompson, 10th year.
2012 record: 1-7, 1-6 (seventh).
Returning all-conference player: Omar Young, sr., DL, 5-9, 230.
Other key players: Anthony First, sr., FB/LB, 5-8, 225; Cavontae Klyce, sr., OL/DL, 6-0, 295; Caleb Langdon, sr., FB/LB, 5-10, 175; John James, sr., RB/DB, 5-8, 155; Morris Matsen, sr., TE/DB, 5-10, 175; Demell Smith, sr., RB/DB, 5-8, 160; Antoine McKinney, sr., QB/DB, 5-10, 165; Anthony Harris, sr., OL/DL, 6-0, 205.
Outlook: Park worked hard in the off-season and "stayed together," according to Thompson. McKinney is the new quarterback and has become a leader, too. Juniors Jeremy Steward, Justin Steward and John Springsteen, and sophomores Jackson Plate, Ryan Petersen and Adrian Vital could contribute as well.

This was an assignment in my poetry class called a Found Poem, so all these words are from news articles and such that were just randomly cut out and put together.
Please this is no time to sleep.
You found out what we can do.

Waiting 2 gain control.

Awake the restless truth.

rev153 modified sources for operational ttk spt
GUIB Rev 153 contained partial support for Ttk widgets. The attached ZIP file "GUIB_ttk_mods.zip" contains modified rev153 sources that were tested under 8.6b1 (patthoyt's). A text file/script named "ttkTestStartup" contains changelog information and a description of remaining problems, to wit:
# GUIB Remaining Shortcomings & Issues after TTK spt is added for Tcl86b1:
# - For TTk option "-padding", there is no parsing & checking done in GUIB: accepts a string
# - New "Justify" toolbar GIF (images/justify_TTkDft.gif) for "TTk" Default has wrong background color
# - No testing was done on any platform other than MS windows, and only with Tcl86b1.
# - All testing was done without IWidget package available
# - Generated code testing was done ONLY for language=Tcl (no Perl et.al.)
# Remaining Outright Bugs
# - Occasionally an in-GUI resizing arrow fails to be initialized with it's "tag" (a "-1" gets
# assigned instead). This occurs either as the UI is saved or restored. It happened on a ttk
# labelframe with a ttk menubutton within it. This seems to be a problem that predates ttk changes,
# and results in an occasional "no slave in master" Tk error
# - The "center" value is not legal (in 8.6) for the value of the "-labelanchor" option (for Tk and TTk
# "labelframe" widget). Existing GUIB code is using the list of valid values for "-anchor" (which
# includes "center") rather than (a new, nonexistent type) "labelanchor" (which should not include
# "center").
# Changes:
# - Generalized spt for TTk,
# Files: src/ startup.tcl, wbuilder.tcl, menus.cmd, scroll.tcl, toolbar.tcl, properties.tcl, filters.tcl, subs.tcl, outline.tcl
# images/ justify_TTkDft.gif (NEW)
# Notes:
# + Changed the icon in the palette for Tk "labelframe" to match the icon used in Themed Tk for same
# + Added ttk::frame, ttk:labelframe and ttk:spinbox to Themed Tk lineup (spinbox implies 8.6)
# + Restrictions due to TTk 8.6b1 shortcomings/irregularities are handled ad-hoc,
# (particularly "-font" for ttk::entry vs. ttk::label)
# + For want of a knowledge of proper use of the tool to code "justify_TTkDft.gif",
# the text background of this (new) GIF file is white, rather than transparent.
# - Added "menubutton" to old Tk lineup (wbuilder.tcl)
# - Arranged to version the gui cache-filename to prevent re-using stale cache from other GUIB install (port.tcl)
# - Help file lookup failure under windows fixed (help.tcl)
# - Fixed failure to load previously-saved non-existent project file resulted in tcl error (save.tcl)
Also within that file are copies of tkChat sessions covering 8.6 remaining issues that prevent GUIB from functioning as fully as it might.

Workers Independent News
By Doug Cunningham, February 19, 2016
A federal judge in Indiana has stopped Menard's from enforcing an arbitration agreement that was imposed on Menard's workers by the company. The federal court stopped Menard's from enforcing their arbitration agreement on workers until the NLRB investigates.
OPEIU attorney Seth Goldstein says these stays against companies are rare.
[Seth Goldstein]: "For the first time a federal court has issued a stay against a arbitration agreement that Menard's forced an employee to sign."
Janet Payne was bringing an Americans With Disabilities Act charge against Menard's when the company invoked the arbitration agreement restrictions on her ability to seek legal relief.
[Seth Goldstein]: "She's unable, under this agreement, to go to the National Labor Relations Board. And there's confidentiality provisions that are overbroad. And there's also a waiver of her rights to bring a collective or class action."
Goldstein is seeking relief at the NLRB for Menard's workers he says are experiencing violations by the company of the National Labor Relations Act. Goldstein urges other Menard's workers to come forward. He says he expects the NLRB to issue charges against Menard's when the board concludes its investigation.
[Seth Goldstein]: "Best outcome is for the NLRB to strike down the arbitration agreement so she has the right to sue, because Menards' agrement is no more than what's called an adhesion contract. It's forced on her with unfair provisions that limit her rights to due process under the law."

Last year, reports say, consumers filed 5,980 air-service complaints with the U.S. Department of Transportation, 37% fewer than in 2002. The item was widely reported, including a prominent mention in USA TODAY.
Does this mean fliers are more satisfied with their airlines? I don't think so.
I think the problem is that too many travelers don't know where to complain. The government doesn't make it any easier for them. And because there are so few complaints registered with the government overall, the tally may not resemble what's actually happening in terms of airlines and customer service.
Yes, air travel remained down last year compared to the late 1990s — the boon years for both travel and complaints. But even the 3.5% reduction in flights in January compared to the year before would hardly account for such a dramatic drop in complaints on everything from lost bags to surly service.
And last year wasn't exactly a cloud-free day for the airline industry. It was plagued by storms, blizzards and the East Coast blackout, which brought air traffic to halt in several states on August 14 and turned airports into mass sleep-ins.
I certainly heard my share of stranded passenger complaints over that last one. Why didn't the Transportation Department receive hundreds more?
It also is strange that the Transportation Department would hail its low-complaint rate given the department's own Office of the Inspector General found the system to be a sham.
In a 2001 report on the airline industry's attempts to correct its problems, auditors wrote: The department's "Air Travel Consumer Report does not reflect the true number of complaints to the airlines, nor does it reflect the comparative rankings of all airlines based on air travelers' complaints."
Inspector General Kenneth Mead found that during the same time the department received 325 complaints about an unnamed airline, the airline itself received 25,556 complaints.
That's one complaint to the department for every 78 received by the airline. Yet people (and airline reporters like me) pay attention to the Transportation Department's ranking.
It's hard to blame passengers. The airline is the obvious place to complain. If you write the airline, you almost certainly will get a nice letter back — maybe even a coupon for a free drink, or if the airline's mistake was a lulu, a discount voucher for future travel or a free flight.
Writing or e-mailing the government at least puts your complaint on the public record, noting the name of the carrier and the nature of the misdeed. But the Transportation Department actually makes it hard to send an indignant missive. We have a system in which only the most dedicated complainers will figure out where to voice their concerns.
For starters, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Web site isn't any help. Good luck finding a link for complaints. You're getting hot if you actually make it to the Aviation Consumer Protection Web page, then click on Air Travel Problems and Complaints.
Also, assuming you can find it, the e-mail address is difficult to remember. email@example.com doesn't exactly stick in your brain like Airlinecomplaints.com would (which, by the way, is a site up for bid).
But those aren't the only obstacles. As usual with the government, different departments handle different problems. Did it seem like the airline was unsafe? The Transportation Department at least promises to pass on complaints about it to the FAA. But if you thought the airport screener was a jerk, it makes no mention about sending the complaint on to the Transportation Security Administration which employs them. (email@example.com)
I think there should be an e-mail address clearly posted on the walls of every airport baggage-claim area, "To register a compliment or complaint about your airline with the government, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com."
Or the Transportation Department could provide postcards in the same baggage claims or boarding lounges. People would write their complaints on the back and supply their own stamps.
It's so hard to find a way to complain that the private sector is helping out. Todd Curtis of Seattle runs Airsafe.com. He'll forward your airline complaints to the Transportation Department.
He added the link to his air-safety site because of the frustration he encountered when he tried to help others complain. "I had to dig, dig, dig" to find the Transportation Department's complaint link, he says. Last year, Curtis forwarded about 350 beefs, mostly run-of-the-mill tribulations such as lost luggage, ticket refund troubles and just plain bad flights.
He even heard from one airline, AirTran, which wanted to know why he was sending so many complaints. The Transportation Department passes the complaints that it receives, name and all, to the airlines for them to act on, says spokesman Bill Mosley. The fact that AirTran was that concerned about receiving all those complaints from a single source points out a critical flaw in the current system: the possibility of rigging.
American Airlines had the most complaints of any airline in the department's December report: 46, out of 1.3 million passengers flown. The next highest was Continental with 35, out of 77 million passengers flown.
Although the Transportation Department says it's never detected any attempt to distort the true number of complaints, just 12 more letters about Continental would push it into first place. Or, conceivably, one e-mailer could write 12 times.
It could happen. Mosley says a single missive can generate multiple complaints if it involves several problem areas, like most Flights from Hell would.
What's clear to me is that the Transportation Department doesn't want to do anything to encourage more complaints. If it did, it might have to actually look into them. Right now, about the only cases investigated are those involving disabled persons, for which transportation officials are required by law.
So I did my civic duty and sent my complaint via e-mail to the department:
"I think the Department of Transportation should make it easier to complain about airlines. It should make this e-mail address more widely known. It should put postcards in airports that fliers can use. But that's just my opinion."
Will the department do anything? The pat response that every e-mailer gets came back within seconds.
"Thank you for contacting us regarding your air travel concerns," it reads. "We regret the necessity for this general response, but we want to acknowledge your message as soon as possible, and the current volume of e-mail to this address would greatly delay a more individual reply at this time.
I took that to be a 'no.'

This is the third in a series of four paintings by Norm Breyfogle and five posts. I love this stuff so much that I'm going to keep at it until everything is posted.
I don't mind the Arctic Monkeys, even if they do remind me of The Jam a little too much. So much so that one video of the Monkeys that I saw made me think that it was an old Jam video. Nothing like wearing your influences on your sleeve.
In this image the Monkeys are made up to look like Enid Blyton's Famous Five. I read all the Famous Five books as a kid - I found them to be very entertaining indeed and I fail to understand the backlash that Blyton's work has suffered in recent times at the hands of the PC police. They were wonderful exercises in escapism and more kids should vanish into her books and leave the PS2, Ipods and computers alone (I read all the Secret Seven books too - they were a hoot). Mind you the Five were made up of two boys, two girls and Timmy the dog - I wonder which of the Monkeys are the girls?
Unlike the previous two paintings that I've posted, this one is as close to the preliminary sketch as can possibly be. It's clear that Norm had his image right from the start and there was little to no tinkering from the pencil stage to the final painting. What strikes me as being funny is that Norm has, either intentionally or unintentionally, made the band up to look like The Monkees at the same time...

" This is a great value in Rome, but be aware it's not quite in Rome--it's a 1 euro bus ride to a train that connects to the metro. The 7 Hills Village is surprisingly laid-back place for its upscale woodsy rural/suburban area. Staff are helpful and speak English. Bungalow was small but well equipped--comfortable beds, good linen, shelves for baggage and blankets. Plenty of hot water, but you have to bring your own towel. Bar sold us a nice one for 12 euros.

I've received several several bizarre calls since I first put my phone number up on my blog. I've received death threats. I've had a disconcerted teenager call me from Malaysia about her boyfriend. But I think we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen :
(I received this call at approximately 10.45pm)
Lady : Hello, yes, this is a call from a relay service. Do you know what a relay service is?
Me : Uhh, hello. Yeah, I'm not sure.
Lady : Ok, hang on one second sir. (starts clicking away on her computer) sir, Internet Relay Service is an online way to place text relay calls. It works over the Internet so that relay calls are possible without a TTY. Instead, relay users connect to a communications assistant through the internet relay website, and communicate by typing outgoing messages on their computer keyboards and reading incoming messages on their computer monitors.
Me : Uhhhh, ok.
Lady : I will now precede every comment from me, the operator, with "Operator says". I will precede every comment from user with "User says".
Me : Uhhh, ok.
Lady : Operator says, I will now proceed.
Lady : User says, "Hello Anand, whats going on?"
Me : Nothing much.
Lady : User says, "If I have a soft 17, and the dealer's showing a 6, should I double down?"
Me : Ok, I'm not really sure what's going on right now…
Lady : Operator says, "Sir, the user is asking you a question. You should answer it"
Me : No, seriously, I really don't understand whats happening right now. Is someone seriously using an internet relay service to ask me if they should double-down on a soft 17? Seriously?
Lady : Operator says, "hang on sir, I'm asking the user that question".
Me : No, no, don't ask them that.
Lady : Operator says, "sorry sir, I've already sent them that message. Please wait, the user is responding".
Me : (after a 10 second pause…) *click*

Clock spring
I replaced the clock spring on my 99 tj in April 2012 and it has gone bad already the nylon spool has seemed to wear right through the outer housing that sits on the steering column base .I wonder if I was missing any bushings or spacers when I replaced it or if it is a factory defect, or if maybe the steering column shaft is out of round or bent. Horn works but only have continuity on one wire to air bag . I am definitely contacting the on line Chrysler dealer where I bought it but I'm sure they wont take the blame. Has anyone had a similar problem? What if I just do away with the air bag ? Is that legal? I was never crazy about them anyway.

Christopher Nolan's second entry in "The Dark Knight Trilogy"
Is it a masterpiece?
Is it "The Empire Strikes Back" of the saga?
Is it deserving of the praise it still receives eight years later?
Matt Candela of "That'll Play" podcast and I break it down.
Thanks for listening.

Chef Coats
The chef's coat is a double-breasted jacket typically made of two layers of thick cotton. Chef's coats are common in finer restaurants and catered events for the staff to wear. They are usually combined with chef's pants and a chef's hat. The double layering of the coat helps provide heat resistance, which is obviously important for those who spend hours in the kitchen. The buttons on the coat might be made of cotton, or plastic. Cotton buttons are able to withstand the frequent washing of the coat better than plastic buttons. The double-breasted style of the chef's coat makes the garment reversible, so any stains are not visible. Kitchens are usually very messy, especially during busy rushes. So this makes it easy to let your cooks look their best at all times. Cotton fabric is also more breathable and more comfortable.
Many chef's coats are white in color, which means they can be bleached free from stains. Foodservice Superstore also have a wide variety of colored chef's coats to give your restaurant a unique look and feel. We offer the full range of sizes, from small to 3 X-Large. We offer many different colors from white, black, red, green, orange, and more. San Jamar and John Ritzenthaler are top name brands that we are proud to offer the highest quality chef's coats at great prices every day.
