pear Clafoutis by Tom Fitzmorris Sweet, ripe pears are a brilliant variation on clafoutis.
The pear tree at the Sept. 11 memorial was among the last living things to be pulled out of the rubble.
At the most basic level, most ciders are produced using a blend of sweet, sour, and bitter apple and pear varieties.
The three containers [of pear, strawberry granola and peach] have run through me like Olympic sprinters.
Freshly grated pear barely needs any sweetening, which is why we encourage you to make the pear puree yourself.
Often called in England the Malvern pear, being much grown about that place; esteemed for perry.
The next Sunday she came to church in a foam of white like a pear tree.
The pear is a native of Europe and Asia, and, in its natural state, is quite as unfit for the table as the crab-apple.
At her side she had a plate with grapes and a pear and was in the best of spirits.
One species (Tingis pyri), found in our own country, is sometimes very injurious to pear trees.
Old English pere, peru "pear," common West Germanic (cf. Middle Dutch, Middle Low German pere, Old High German pira, bira, Dutch peer), from Vulgar Latin *pera, variant of Latin pira, plural (taken for fem. singular) of pirum "pear," a loan word from an unknown source. It likely shares an origin with Greek apion "pear," apios "pear tree."

Hard to knock Today this morning for its take on the President's latest poll numbers. Today's theme? That while W's poll numbers on his handling of the economy are down, in fact the economy is up.
As Katie Couric put it: "The President's poll numbers on Iraq and economy are falling even though by all measures the economy is doing well."
Katie returned to the theme in her interview of Tim Russert: "The President's staff should be scratching their heads. In theory they have reason to crow" about the economy, yet the polls show that by a margin of 47%/41%, Americans disapprove W's handling of it.
Today went so far as to trot out a variety of statistics making the case that the economy is doing well, pointing to strong numbers on GDP growth, home ownership and home prices, and low unemployment.
The question arose: what explains Americans' unjustifiably gloomy view of the economy? Today's answer? "Spillover" from the country's pessimistic view of Iraq, and Americans' negative reaction to high energy and health care costs.
As Today pointed out, W's marks for handling Iraq are also down, with only 34% approving his handling of the war, and a majority of Americans believing that the country is not less vulnerable to terrorism as a result of the Iraq war.
Today highlighted the fact that the administration has done something of an about-face on the issue of troop withdrawal from Iraq, now floating the idea that it could occur, whereas not long ago it refused to discuss the possibility. Russert suggested that it was concern over the mid-term elections that is driving the withdrawal talk. He also noted that "neo-cons" are criticizing the administration, saying it should not be talking about withdrawal.
As an aside, could it really be that only "neo-conservatives" favor staying the course in Iraq? What about good old "conservatives"? We used to speak of "hawks" and "doves." Might not that be more accurate, or is Today suggesting it's just a Wolfowitz-Perle-Kristol cabal at work?
There was a final piece of irony. Russert spoke of waking up in the morning, turning on the radio and hearing the news of more deaths of US military people in Iraq. He observed that millions of Americans hear the same thing, and that this accounts for the gloomy mood. No doubt true, but Russert thus ignores the complicity of the media in pounding a steady drumbeat of negative news.
Yes, the deaths and setbacks should and must be covered. But does the MSM give Americans the broader picture of the movement toward democracy and the rebuilding of the Iraqi economy that are afoot? With a media like this, the American people might have been demanding armistice with the Axis by 1942.

There's been a slight change to NBA Sundays. Because My Morning Chocolate's guest blogger and NBA fanatic Kenny Yee (my husband) is also an enthusiastic artist, Sundays in May will now be devoted to the intersection of Food and Art. I'll use the playoffs in another post. If you enjoy art, Kenny is also a talented painter; you can view his work on his website.
Jen and I finally made it over to the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) to see the Cezanne and American Modernism show (I highly recommend it – it closes May 23rd), an exhibit that pays homage to the French artist whose innovation would inspire a shift from 19th century Impressionism to the Modern Art movement of the 20th century.
A good third of the exhibit showcased Cezanne's bold still-life paintings, which inspired this first of four "Food and Art" blog postings (every Sunday in May). Seeing his complex compositions of various fruits painted in bright colors reminded me how food was always a popular subject for still-lifes throughout art history, dating back to ancient civilizations. While fruit and wine were popular images – Van Gogh worked with the potato – other aspects of food from the cooks to the preparation and the whole ritual of the meal were being celebrated in art.
Artists' use of food has evolved with the changing periods throughout art history, marking the current trends. Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup can series epitomized the Pop movement, while Judy Chicago's the Dinner Party celebrated women and Feminist Art.
In today's contemporary art world, a lot of attention is focused on making art that is socially-conscious. On my first visit to the BMA, I saw Zoe Leonard's shriveled fruit skins that were stitched up like baseballs and lined neatly across a clean white shelf. These hollowed out skins, decaying before the public, informed me just how far food in art has come along. No longer is food just a subject to paint or draw, but it is now incorporated in performance art and on a more conceptual and intellectual level.
And all this time you thought food was just something you eat.
Next Sunday, in my Food and Art posting, I will highlight one of my favorite things to consume, as well as incorporate in my art: COFFEE!

BOSTON - In federal court today, a Ukrainian man was convicted and sentenced for conspiring to violate smuggling laws by importing sperm whale ivory into the United States from Ukraine. This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Andriy Mikhalyov, 39, of Odessa, Ukraine, pleaded guilty to charges that he and others conspired to buy, sell and smuggle sperm whale teeth, which are used in the creation of scrimshaw, into the U.S.
"One cannot understate the importance that our endangered species laws play in protecting our coastline and its resources," said U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Carmen M. Ortiz. "Our coast is home to some of the most endangered marine mammal species in the world and we will continue to aggressively and proactively investigate anyone who threatens or jeopardizes their existence."
"The prosecution of Andriy Mikhalyov should act as deterrent to poachers and ivory smugglers that ICE HSI and our law enforcement partners are focused on putting them out of business," said Special Agent in Charge Bruce M. Foucart of ICE HSI in Boston. "We will continue using all our law enforcement resources to identify and apprehend those who exploit threatened species for lucrative profits in total disregard of our laws."
"As a federally-protected endangered species, sperm whales are particularly vulnerable to the illegal wildlife trade," said Special Agent in Charge Salvatore Amato of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Northeast Region. "This case shows the impact of cooperative law enforcement and offers further deterrence to those who seek to illegally profit by plundering protected wildlife."
The evidence in the case established that Mikhalyov conspired with co-defendant Charles Manghis, of Nantucket, and others to buy and sell sperm whale ivory. Manghis, who was convicted at trial last year, was a commercial artist involved in making and selling scrimshaw - ivory pieces that are artistically etched. Sperm whales are a protected endangered species and the commercial use of any part is strictly regulated. Mikhalyov advertised the teeth on an Internet website. The sales involved the exportation of the items from Ukraine and the importation of the same into the U.S. None of the required proper documentation was ever filed for the export or import. Manghis, who was convicted last January, is awaiting sentencing.
Mikhalyov has been in custody since his arrest last year on March 30, 2010. Today, Judge Nancy Gertner sentenced him to the period of time that he has already been incarcerated, amounting to over nine months. Judge Gertner also entered a stipulated judicial order of deportation which will result in the immediate deportation of Mikhalyov to Ukraine.
U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Timothy Donovan, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Law Enforcement; Bruce Foucart, Special Agent in Charge of ICE HSI in Boston; and Salvatore Amato, Special Agent in Charge, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Law Enforcement in the Northeast Region made the announcement today.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nadine Pellegrini, Chief of Ortiz's Major Crimes Unit.

Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, first of all, I had an opportunity to hear what Senator Udall of Colorado had to say about Iowa and my participation, and I thank him very much for his kind remarks.
This year Senator Mark Udall is the champion of people speaking about the wind energy tax credit. I have spoken a few times, but he has spoken for every State that has a wind energy business. He has spoken many times more than I have, and I wish to compliment Senator Udall from Colorado for doing that.
I think it is a foregone conclusion that after 20 years' of investment of taxpayer money in what we call the tax incentive for wind energy, and with the industry just about becoming a mature industry--and there are different points of view within the industry, but in just a few years it will be starting to phase out--this wind energy tax credit can go away because it will be a mature industry much as the ethanol tax credit went away at the end of last year. So with this tremendous investment, it seems to me it would be a shame not to continue it so we can get to maturity, and then in a sense ratify the decision of the good investment of taxpayer money that has already been made.
So today it is my privilege to join my colleague, Senator Udall of Colorado, on the floor of the Senate to discuss the importance of wind energy and the need to extend the production tax credit for wind. I appreciate Senator Udall's commitment to the production tax credit for wind energy. As I have said before, but I wish to say it again, he has come to the floor many times during the past several months to highlight the importance of wind energy in the various States. He has been a real leader on this issue.
As Senator Udall has said, I have been a longtime supporter of the wind energy tax credit beginning with my authorship of the first wind production tax credit in 1992. At the time, I have to confess I didn't see coming, for my State or for the Nation as a whole, the big deal it has become not only in the production of wind energy and Iowa being No. 2 in the Nation, but also the component manufacturing that goes on in most every State involved in wind energy, including my own State. Particularly, I didn't foresee, at a time when most of our talk about exporting jobs is actually exporting jobs, and in my State, at least from two countries, Spain and Germany, we have been able to import jobs--or I should say import the ability to create jobs through foreign investment--for the component manufacturing. So it has been a success in so many ways.
Maybe one other point that ought to be emphasized at this time: Some Members--and maybe more Members in the other body--seem to be more cynical about any sort of investment in green energy because of Solyndra and other places where taxpayer money has gone in the way of grants and then there has been immediate bankruptcy, resulting in a waste of taxpayer money. There is absolutely no benefit from the wind energy tax credit unless energy is actually produced. So it is not going to be one of those situations where through taxpayer money, through a tax incentive, money is going to some company and not reaping the benefits of it, the end result in this case being the production of wind energy.
The production tax credit for wind is working and should be a part of the effort in Washington to get more Americans working. Nationally, the wind energy industry supports 75,000 jobs. There are more than 400 manufacturing facilities nationwide supplying wind components. Thirty-five percent of all new electricity generation added during the last 5 years was from wind, and this happens to be more than from coal and nuclear combined. Today, 60 percent of a wind turbine's value is produced in the United States, compared with just 25 percent in the year 2005.
As I have said so often, my home State of Iowa is a leader in wind energy production and component manufacturing. Nearly 20 percent of Iowa's electricity needs are met from wind energy, powering the equivalent of 1 million homes. Almost 3,000 utility-scale turbines in Iowa generate lease payments to landowners, worth $14 million every year. Iowa is behind only Texas nationally in terms of installed wind capacity. The wind energy employs more than 6,000 Iowans. These jobs are at risk because Congress has so far failed to extend the production tax credit which is set to expire at the end of the year.
In fact, hundreds of Iowans employed in wind energy have already been laid off because of slowing demand over uncertainty of tax credits, and there will be more laid off in my State except in one city where they are manufacturing components to go to Canada for use in wind energy in Canada. Certainty about tax policy and affordable energy, then, are factors for economic growth and getting unemployed workers back on the assembly line.
As much energy as possible--both traditional and renewable--should be produced at home to create jobs and strengthen national security. Wind energy is obviously a free resource, and it is abundant in many places around the country. I suppose we could say wind is abundant every place, but at speeds that make the production of energy from wind cost-effective.
In my State, most of these facilities are in northwest Iowa where the wind averages about 14 miles per hour compared to going diagonally down to the southeast corner of the State where it averages about 8 miles per hour. So if there is enough constant wind, this is very definitely a free resource.
Wind is also a homegrown resource. The electricity it generates is produced on local farms for local customers and often adds investment value to the community. A clean, renewable source such as wind is not dependent on faraway countries with leaders, in the case of petroleum, for instance, who happen to be so hostile to the United States even as they take our energy dollars and maybe use those against us. That is why there is broad support for extending this worthwhile policy.
Legislation in the House of Representatives to extend the production tax credit has 119 cosponsors, including 25 Republicans. In August the Senate Finance Committee, with a bipartisan vote, passed my extension of the wind energy production tax credit amendment I offered at that particular time.
The Governors' Wind Energy Coalition and the Western Governors' Association have called for an extension of the production tax credit. The Western Governors' Association is an independent organization representing Governors of 19 States, and current membership includes 13 Republicans and 6 Democratic Governors. So there is pretty broad bipartisan consensus among Governors that this ought to be extended.
I was pleased to join a press conference a few weeks ago with Senator Mark Udall and over 40 military veterans representing Operation Free. They were visiting Capitol Hill to meet with Members of Congress, encouraging Congress to extend the wind production tax credit.
The wind energy production tax credit was created to try to level the playing field with coal-fired and nuclear electricity generation. The production tax credit for wind is available only when wind energy is produced. There is no benefit for simply placing the turbine in the ground. It is a tax relief that rewards results, and that is much different than failed taxpayer-funded grants and loans made since 2009 when a lot of that money went to companies that are now bankrupt.
Those who want to do away with the wind energy tax incentive don't seem to mention that other forms of energy have received far more generous tax incentives for many decades longer than the wind energy industry. Oil and gas and nuclear power all received longstanding Federal support. I wish to emphasize, because I believe I read someplace, that one of the opponents of the wind energy tax credit being extended comes from nuclear.
Do my colleagues think we would even have a nuclear industry in the United States since the 1950s or 1960s if it weren't for the Price Anderson Act that supports it as kind of a super--or an insurer of last resort? It would never have developed, and it is still in existence. Isn't it a little bit intellectually dishonest to say that wind should not have the tax incentive when other industries wouldn't even exist if they hadn't had it already?
If we are going to have a discussion of which industries merit Federal support and which industries don't, the discussion needs to be intellectually honest. If we are having that discussion, everything needs to be on the table, not just wind energy.
Can you think of 60 extenders that are going to sunset at the end of this year? Only one--wind--seems to be attacked right now.
This extension deserves a place in our year-end package of tax extenders to help give confidence investors want and employers need to keep and hire workers.
There is no reason to exacerbate the unemployment problem by failing to extend this successful incentive. America's security in the short- and long-term depends on a robust effort to develop domestic energy sources.
Before I leave the floor, this can be done by the extender bill all by itself being passed or it can be, as we hope, that President Obama and Speaker Boehner have some sort of framework for us to put meat on that framework so we do not go over the cliff and have this bill be a part of it. When that whole fiscal cliff debate is about jobs, we do not want to forget about these 75,000 jobs that are in wind energy. A lot of these jobs have already led to some layoffs. We could bring those people back to work pretty fast.
I yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.

About the Creator
Helllooooooo, Bridgey here! I'm new to this author-ness, although I did start in 2008 so I have a resonable amount of knowlegde in writing. Writing started off as a interesting way to kill time during the college holidays, but I admit, the whole thing grew on me and I totally enjoyed it, so I carried on with it, probably to degrees that are bigger than I can chew XD. I am still enjoying it though and hope my first book, 'The Temple Of The Sun God' will inspire not only my own imagination, but the imagination of others, simply because I write in a more escapist entertainment style. I don't for one second suggest that my works are works of art =D Bridgey out...

Peaches & Tango: A Dinner In The Orchard
Frog Hollow Farm
Saturday, July 23, 2011 at 6:30 PM (PDT)
Event Details
Frog Hollow Farm presents...
Bravo's Top Chef: All-Stars winner Richard Blais cooks dinner at Frog Hollow Farm to benefit Alice Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation and The Edible Schoolyard. Blais has designed a menu for Peaches & Tango: A Dinner in the Orchard that focuses on organic ingredients grown by our local farmers. Performing live music and accompanied by their dancers is Trio Garufa, considered the most versatile contemporary interpreters of Argentine Tango. Diners will enjoy watching Chef Richard Blais prepare their meal with his dynamic flair and afterwards are welcome to join the dance floor to enjoy instruction by world class Tango dancers.
Ticket proceeds provide funds for Alice Waters' The Edible Schoolyard and The Chez Panisse Foundation, whose mission envisions a school curriculum and school lunch program where growing, cooking, and sharing food at the table gives students the knowledge and values to build a humane and sustainable future.
Farmer Al Courchesne, owner and farmer of Frog Hollow Farm, has always dreamed about hosting an event pairing together Peaches and Tango. The combination of his legendary fruit with the romanticism of Tango is a match written in the stars. This year his vision becomes reality. Join us for an evening of fine dining, dancing, and supporting a great cause.
Richard Blais, a recipient of Gayot Guide's 'Top Five Rising Chefs of 2005,' appeared on BRAVO's Emmy Award winning series 'Top Chef' and 'Top Chef Masters' and on the Food Network's 'Iron Chef America' and 'Food Detectives'. He has been featured in numerous publications such as Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, and Food & Wine Magazine and is known for his creative take on American food.

There is no printer driver installed on my laptop...it is on the Desktop.
The laptop shares the printer driver from the Desktop through the Network.
Since the laptop does not have a driver there is no sense in installing one on it...it is wireless acting thru the shared network from the Desktop. When the laptop was printing to the printer before I installed the new OS, the laptop did not have a driver installed...only the desktop has the driver installed and it works o.k. when printing to the printer when printing from the Desktop.
CANCEL my request...I don't think you understand my home networking.
I followed your instructions for uninstall & re-install printer on laptop.
Failed: This is error message:
Add Printer
Connect Printer
Windows cannot connect to the printer.
Details: Operation failed with error 0x0000052e
Will you be able to see why my laptop is not printing to the printer...My desktop prints to the printer just fine.
Yes, I'll allow "remote support" but I am a little worried that my laptop is the problem and I'm also worried if my desktop's printer drive is updated that will cause my desktop not to print.
Important note: My laptop (OS is Windows Home Premium 64 bit) and my desktop (OS is Windows Home Premium 32 bit)
How do we get connected to laptop for the remote...it is on my router and is wireless connected...still can receive email on it [email protected]
I am on my laptop typing this reply. How can we connect remotely?
Connected successfully
But what is my user name and password
Remote is not working...when click on remote link, site says it is having problems
I think we have connection
Laptop is not printing again! I did not do anything to either my desktop nor the laptop, except shut down both. Next morning tried to print from my laptop and it did not print.
Any more advise? I spent over $100.oo with JustAnswer so far.
I have changed NOTHING...only thing i did was to shut down procedure and next day re-booted and tried to print from the laptop but it did not work.
Yes to all your questions...I'm on the desktop right now...do you want me to boot the laptop now and use it?
I am connected!

The U.S. fertility rate has stabilized after years of precipitous declines, according to updated data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Based on earlier CDC data, the Journal reported Thursday that the American baby bust is at an end. The latest numbers published Friday confirm the trend.
The number of births in 2012 leveled off after years of big drops. There were 3.5 million babies born last year, less than 1,000 fewer than 2011. That compares to a declines of about 50,000 in 2011 and more than 100,000 in both 2009 and 2010.
Meanwhile, the fertility rate — number of births per 1,000 women of childbearing age — fell to 63 from 63.2, a new record low. But this is a very small drop compared to previous years. The rate stood at 69.3 in 2007, and dropped steeply and consistently throughout the recession and early years of the recovery.
"The trend in births appears to have flattened," CDC said in the report. The stabilization indicates that the country is finally beginning to shake off the recession, and may begin to have more children.
Even if they do, though, the so-called total fertility rate — which measures the average number of children born to women over their lifetimes — remains depressed. A 2.1 rate is considered the level needed to keep the U.S. population stable. In 2012 it fell slightly to 1.88 from 1.89 a year earlier.
The report also noted that the teen birth rate declined 6% last year. There were 29.4 births per 1,000 teenagers 15-19 years old in 2012 compared to 31.3 in 2011. That marks a historic low for the nation. Birth rates for women in their 20s also declined last year, as more people put off having children until they are older. The birth rates for women in their 30s and early 40s rose last year.

+1 to no sleeves! It's too bleeding edge for anything that's not a garage queen or a car that is part of a race team prepared to swap motors. I don't believe the stage 3 kit even requires sleeves. It's an option that reduces displacement (and power) with the intention of thickening the walls between cylinders because of fears that the head gasket may fail at those points.
IMO It's just another thing that can give problems (if they move). The S54 with the L19's over-torqued has addressed the gasket issue; there haven't been any members complaining about blown head gaskets or heads lifting with that setup.
Adding sleeves, which will weaken the block (side effect of the extensive over-boring requirements to insert the sleeves), and the L19's and the extra torquing and you have a recipe for unwanted headache possibilities [in cylinder #5]! (
So why try to solve a problem (thinner walls between cylinders) before you can even confirm it's actually a problem? Enjoy the 3.4 displacement and the extra power that can be had with a setup that hasn't proven to be anything but reliable.

I like to workout but I also enjoy expanding my horizons when it comes to knowledge. You won't see me often with my nose on a book but you will see me on wikipedia just reading random stuff lol. Yes I can be random AND gullible, but it doesn't bother me.
I really never know what to say much on these "about me" sections. I think I would have done a lot better job explaining myself in a creative way, like poetry or something. Pfft yea right! xD
I can watch any movie as long as it's not extremely foreign or highly independent. You know, the ones that leave you like, "Whaa???" confused at the end because the plot was two steps ahead of your mind.
Rock and Raggaeton works well for me. Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, yes, even Nickelback. Don Omar, Wisin y Yandel, etc.
I like anything except cucumbers and sushi.
Italian and Chinese are great, but Puerto Rican is the best!
No seriously, I never know what I'm in the mood for.
Do NOT message me if you do not have a sense of humor ;)

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Located in a 1920s-era building that formerly housed the precursor to The Houston Post, the Magnolia symbolizes sleek, understated elegance. From its rooftop pool to its hardwood-floored lobby to its modern-yet-cozy rooms in between, everything about the Magnolia was designed with a sharp eye for detail and dignity. There is no gaudiness, no feeling that — unlike some other boutiques — it will look garish and dated in a handful of years. Besides the delicious, complimentary evening cookies, your stay includes downtown car transportation; for a little extra, treat yourself to special packages including a massage, a five-course meal at the popular Strip House steakhouse and the Deluxe Romance Package, as well as other perks.
Do people even buy CDs anymore? They must, because Half Price Books keeps stocking them. The budget-media retailer may not have a Cactus-like variety, but it usually has a few titles by most major artists, especially if they weren't big blockbuster albums. It also seems to specialize in CDs by artists you had almost completely forgotten about but who had one or two songs you'd pay two or three bucks for — hell, you'd do it with iTunes, except here you get a whole album. While you're there, don't forget to browse Half Price's vinyl selection, which is likewise better than you'd think. Or hell, pick up a book or two while you're at it.
Sure, you may have seen this one coming a mile away, but it's not without reason: Simply put, this place meets the needs of anyone from casual doodlers to professional painters. Brushes, pens, ink, clay, paper, stencils, mosaics, fabric — there's no way you can spend five minutes at Texas Art Supply and not feel your creative side getting goosed. And even if you're just looking for a gift for an artistically inclined friend and you don't know canvas from papier-mâché, you don't have to worry about feeling intimidated or overwhelmed; the crack staff is eager to help, and they know their stuff. Texas Art Supply is an institution in Houston, and if you haven't been yet, then it's time to find out why.
We like smelling good — and our significant others smelling good — without spending a fortune. And we learned the hard way that this isn't reasonably accomplished by buying knockoff brands at gas-station convenience stores. (We also learned that Drakkar Noir actually isn't the best man-scent out there, regardless of what that dude selling it out of the back of his van told us, but that's a story for another time.) So that's why Perfumania is our number one choice when it comes to cologne and perfume. You get a huge selection without putting a huge dent in your pocketbook — and we're talking top-shelf stuff, too, not just the same-old, same-old you can get with a free gym bag at any department store. If you want to expand your olfactory horizons, there's no better place to start than Perfumania.
Because you just never know when you might want to buy a Pink Panther clock at 1:30 in the morning. Fantasy Gifts and Toys resembles an overstuffed, naughty museum, and has been outfitting Houstonians who are up to no good for more than 30 years. Conveniently located near most Lower Westheimer bars including neighboring Catbird's, Fantasy offers hundreds of glass pipes (many made by local craftsmen), vaporizers, hookahs, papers and any other smoking accessory you can think of down to the skull ashtrays. Then there's the T-shirts, rock posters, candles, costumes, other miscellaneous gifts — antidepressant refrigerator magnets or Reservoir Dogs figurines? Tough call — and an entire wall of, well, adult toys. Sometimes that Pink Panther clock just isn't enough, and only something called a "Naughty Judge" or "Wabbit Tickler" will get the job done.
Laura Levine and "Crazy" Mike Hildebrand curate their Heights-area store so carefully, they almost have an encyclopedic knowledge of every item and its location. Looking for embroidered cowboy boots, Polynesian mod or an old concert T-shirt? Just ask at the desk, and if they have it (they likely do), they'll take you right to it. Prices are super-reasonable considering you're saving yourself the hassle of digging through bargain bins at thrift stores, plus they take trades and get new items at least once a week. One of our favorite things to shop for at Replay is vintage swimsuits. Follow them on Facebook for advance notice of new hauls.

Shut Out
Life knocked at my door
But there was a lock on it
A lack of imagination prevented windows
Alack of faith stopped ventilation
I lay on my bed waiting still
Beyond the door there may be fields
Perhaps a river or two
There maybe waterfalls and rainbow
But on the bed I lay waiting
My tears became the waterfall
My Knees fold up mountains
My breath became the wind
My hair the fields I longed
Life came and I forgot to open the door!
I lay in the bed!

14 arrested at protest against Peabody Energy
Source: St. Louis Business Journal
Greta Weiderman
Fourteen protesters were arrested this morning in front of Peabody Energy's headquarters in downtown St. Louis following a protest by the United Mine Workers of America at Kiener Plaza.
An estimated 2,000 attended the protest, the fifth such protest in St. Louis, according to Phil Smith, director of communications for UMWA.
Union members planted 1,000 white crosses at Kiener Plaza. According to union officials, the crosses were in memory of the 666 fatalities that have occurred at mines operated by Peabody Energy, Arch Coal and Patriot Coal or their subsidiaries since 1903 and symbolize the more than 22,000 active and retired miners, dependents and surviving spouses who will be at risk if Patriot Coal, Peabody Energy and Arch Coal succeed in their efforts to effectively eliminate contractually-guaranteed health care benefits.
Protesters traveled from Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virgina to attend the protest.

1. Is Peabody the same company that "hauled away" Muhlenberg County?
I'm referring to the John Prine song, "Paradise"
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away"

Reno, Nev. • Federal land managers have approved an oil and gas project involving hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in a portion of northeast Nevada identified by state wildlife officials as essential habitat for the imperiled greater sage grouse.
The Bureau of Land Management signed a decision record earlier this month on Noble Energy Inc.'s proposal to conduct oil and gas exploration drilling around Tabor Flats near Wells in Elko County.
The Houston-based company plans to drill a maximum of 20 wells on a combination of public and private lands. Slightly more than half of the 39,445-acre project area is on public land.

Post subject: Merchant account rates
These are the typical fees you will see associated with a merchant account. Rates will vary from one provider to the other.
Application/Setup: $0 - $100+ (one time fee)
Most providers have an application fee. Some charge it right out at the beginning, while others add it into the solution purchase/lease costs. Some providers do not have an application fee at all.
Hardware/Software: $99 and up or Lease: $20/month and up
One important note worth mentioning here, though leases are sometimes beneficial to you because they keep you from paying up front for a terminal, it's usually much better to purchase from the beginning than pay a lease for the next 12, 24, 36 or 48 months. Why? With a lease you'll end up paying sometimes 3 times or more then if you would of just purchased the solution outright from the beginning. While a $29.95 monthly lease for 48 months sounds good in reality it isn't. Leases are very hard to get out of once started. If your business goes under before the 48 months are up, you still have to pay on the hardware/software costs until the last penny has been received by the leasing company. Also, the lease fee you see
does not include your state sales tax or the amount charged for the damage/loss waiver. If you do go for the lease, always determine the lease's buyout clause, end of lease terms, and especially beware of clauses that allow the lease company to continue charging you even after the 48 months have passed (they say that you should contact them in writing one month prior to the end of the lease, or you can just let them keep charging you).
Programming: $0 - $100+ (one time fee)
This usually only applies to retail merchants who have changed from one provider to another. The programming process isn't difficult but watch out for the cost, some
providers may nickel and dime you on programming fees. Why do they charge this fee if you use your own equipment? It's used to somewhat make up for the loss of not selling or leasing you their equipment.
Discount Rate: 1.49% - 4% per transaction
This is the fixed percentage amount that is deducted from the purchase cost. The lower discount rates are for retail establishments while the higher are for Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) and Internet-based businesses. Why the lower cost for retail? The instances of credit card fraud are much lower so banks are able to charge lesser percentages for these types of businesses. A typical discount rate for US business is right around 2.30% for online and 1.79% for retail, perhaps a little higher or a little lower.
Non-US businesses will pay a higher discount rates closer to the 3% to 4% range.
Don't let a few tenths of a percentage point be the deciding factor between two providers. For example, if Provider "A" charges 2.29% and Provider "B" charges 2.49% you'll only save $0.20 for every $100 processed through your merchant
Transaction: $0.20 - $0.50 per transaction
In addition to the discount rate a transaction fee is also deducted from the purchase cost. Also, just as with discount rates, transaction fees are lower for retail businesses while slightly higher amounts are charged for MOTO and Internet
establishments. Address Verification (AVS) may either cost an additional fee, or may be included in the base transaction fee. The typical transaction fee for US businesses is right around $0.30 while the higher end of this fee is sometimes the case for Non-US businesses.
Monthly Minimum: $0 - $25 per month
The fee is based on your transaction and discount rate fees from your credit card sales each month. For instance, say your bank charged $25 as a monthly minimum, the transaction and discount rate fees collected by the bank must equal or go over
$25 each month. If this is the case no monthly minimum will be charged. However, if the fees collected for that month do not meet the $25 minimum, you will then be charged the difference. Not all processors have a monthly minimum fee, however most do.
Gateway Access: $0 - $25+ per month
Since in most cases, the secure payment gateway provider is a separate company from the merchant processor, they charge extra fees. For every month that you are on their system, you usually pay an access fee.
The usual fee to pay for gateway access is around $10.
Statement: $0 - $15 per month
The statement fee is charged because at the end of each month you will receive a statement from your processing bank that will list all the transactions that went through for that particular month. It's very much like your credit card or telephone bills.
Daily Close-Out: $0 - $0.15 each day
Associated with software and terminal processing solutions where at the end of every business day you close-out all your transactions. Many providers do charge this daily closeout fee.
Address Verification System (AVS): $0 - $0.05 per transaction
The AVS service checks to see that the billing address given by the customer matches the credit card. If you opt not to use AVS, VISA and MasterCard will not support your transactions and will charge you an additional 0.17% to 1.25% on those sales. Most merchant accounts do have an AVS charge, even if it's bundled with your transaction fee. The AVS service works only with US credit card holders. Currently, there is no AVS service in place for non-US credit card holders.
Chargeback: $5 - $35 per instance
A chargeback occurs when the card holder disputes a charge that they found on their monthly credit card statement. A large number of chargebacks can cause your merchant account to be dropped totally and leave you in a bind when trying to get another merchant account for your business. If this is the case you may not be able to get another merchant account for several years. As a merchant it is important that you take the necessary steps to reduce and potentially eliminate the instances of chargebacks.
Reserve: Varies, ask the provider for details
Some providers will require you to have a reserve account where the amount is determined by your businesses estimated sales receipts. Usually a reserve is almost always charged to a Non-US based merchant who is trying to obtain a merchant account. Also, businesses that do a high volume of sales each month may be charged a reserve fee. Otherwise, there usually isn't a charge. In most cases, the reserve fee is used to cover for any chargebacks on the merchants account. A reserve should be avoided if all possible.
Annual Fee: $0 to $100 per year
Some credit card processors will charge this fee just as additional way to pay for maintenance and system upgrades. This fee usually isn't disclosed upfront. Ask your merchant account sales representative for information.
