David Jones steps on the scale as The Biggest Loser host Allison Sweeney watches on.
Sapulpa police officer David Jones is a contestant on season 14 of The Biggest Loser. Each week, he will send us his thoughts after Monday's episode.
David is still on the show. His starting weight was 307 pounds.

January 15, 2012
Last week on the Biggest Loser we saw Nathan go home, but also saw him start out his new life in a big way, by becoming engaged!
But that put the White Team down to two players, and Jillian's team has a big task ahead.
The start of the week saw the cast in a new place on the Ranch; a room outfitted with television, video games, not so comfortable bean bag chairs, and……snacks. All kinds, and it seemed as though everyone was able to locate their favorite temptation in that room.
We were, as Jillian put it, "surrounded by the enemy."
The site was the location of our first pop challenge. It was a quiz, and the topic was childhood obesity. The penalty for the losing team on this challenge was to have to stay in this room for 4 ½ hours each day for the rest of the week, surrounded by all these temptations, and with nothing to do, and NO working out while in that room.
We were all unprepared for the challenge, as we were just as ignorant of the information as many Americans are about the epidemic of childhood obesity. One of the questions that surprised me was "Of the parents of obese children, what percentage think their children are normal weight or underweight?" The answer was 75%. We didn't get close with the answer, and the truth still boggles my mind. The Red Team came up with the answer and scored enough points to stay safe from the penalty……rats.
The last question was now down to the White Team against the Blue, and each of my team members were all over the place on a possible answer. In the end the White Team came closest to the right answer, and the Blue Team was sentenced to obesity hell. Oh crap, Bob is going to hate this.
Back in the room, the clock started on that first day of the week. While no one was seriously tempted to eat anything in there (though Jeff did say that on the last day he was going to lick a cookie on the way out), Alex made sure some of that stuff was beyond temptation by pouring orange juice over everything.
While the Blue Team wasted all those workout hours sitting around doing nothing, the other teams got to work. We saw the White Team back with Jillian. While Danni was getting into gear and was beginning to understand what Jillian wanted from her, Pam continued to struggle. Jillian was on Pam pretty hard, but the system worked, and Pam has started to get into the groove. Francelina decided to spend some time with the White team, and she and Jillian got into the guts of Francelina's trials, and we saw a breakthrough, as Francelina confronted some of her feelings about her father.
Meanwhile, the Red Team started their workout with Dolvett, and he was pretty happy with most of his team, but Cate seems to be weighed down by things inside. While she has the physicality to accomplish the things Dolvett requires, she is still battling her emotions. Dolvett spent a lot of time with her, to break down some of the walls she has put up.
That's one of the big lessons learned here; we're not addicted to food. There are a number of different reasons why each of turned to food, and became obese, and part of this journey is to find those root causes, and confront them. Cate started doing that with Dolvett during this workout, and it was good to see.
While all that was going on Dr. Joanna paid a visit to each of the child members of the team. While at each of their homes, their families got some eye-opening news about their kids, and how they manage their time, eating habits, and their overall health. The next step was to clear their homes of all the junk food that they had become accustomed to eating, with Biingo's dad claiming ownership of the types of food brought into the home.
Later in the week was the reward challenge. It was much worse to watch in person than the viewer might imagine. During testing for the challenge, the gum that made up the pits was tested during the daytime, a sunny California afternoon with temps near 80 degrees. By the time we got to the carnival area, the temperatures were in the 40's and the gum had solidified somewhat, and for the first time since my injury, I didn't feel bad about missing out on a challenge! Everyone struggled, but the funny part was Jackson's trip through one time where the gum was slinging, and he looked like an angry pink goo monster. It was an ungodly mess, though the cast laughs about it now. The winner was the Red Team, and the reward was a year's worth of groceries for each player.
The last chance workout (and believe me those are the roughest of each week), started the day before weigh-in day, and the Red Team got after it, riding on back- to-back wins the last two weeks. They looked strong during their workout. The White Team started their workout, and at first they looked tough, but then Pam struggled and she and Jillian went at it again, as Pam continued to push through.
The Blue Team finished their final day in the game room, and Bob came in with that little evil look on his face. This was going to be bad. But what Bob had in mind, I couldn't do, because of my leg injury. So, we talked about it, and he gave me instructions on my workout and sent me to his outdoor gym. While I went about my business, my teammates powered through Bob's workout. He used a deck of cards to deal out a set of exercises. In the end the Blue Team had done more squats, burpees, etc., than they had ever done before.
At the weigh-in, Jeff (Bob's Golden Ticket) went first for the Blue Team, and pulled 11 pounds, a great number by any standard. I lost 6 pounds, but Bob was pretty happy with that number. Mike lost 13 pounds, and for the first time in years, fellow the 400 pound mark.
Next was the Red Team, and they started off strong, with Francelina and Joe pulling really good numbers. Then, unbelievably, Jackson, then Cate, then Lisa all lost just 2 pounds apiece. That made the Blue Team safe for one more week, but those low numbers were devastating for the Red Team. White Team needed to lose more than 6 pounds to stay out of elimination. Danni went first and lost 5 pounds, but when Pam got on the scale, all she could think about was how hard Jeff worked the week before, and lost nothing. But Pam's numbers came up, and she had lost 9 pounds, securing the win for the White Team, and making Pam the biggest loser of the week. That started the "Pam Dance", and if you missed it, check out the NBC Biggest Loser website at
http://www.nbc.com/the-biggest-loser/ .
Sadly that meant that someone from the Red team was going home. A new electronic voting system was revealed for the first time, and with many kind words, Cate was sent home. She was pretty confident that she could accomplish her goals with the things that she'd learned at the Ranch.
Today Cate is healthier than ever, and well on her way to meeting her goals.
So on to the next week! Does the White Team make it two in a row? Do Jillian and Pam lock horns again? Am I ever going to get to participate in a challenge? Is the Blue Team going to ever win anything? Stay tuned next Monday to see what happens! The next episode airs Monday January 21st, at 7:00 CST.
It's going to be a great one!

CONTROVERSIAL laws that could result in a drastic increase in body corporate fees were passed by State Parliament yesterday.
The new laws will determine the proportion a unit owner contributes towards shared body corporate expenses, with owners of smaller units voicing fears they will have to pay the same amount as overseas property investors of penthouses.
But Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie remained adamant the changes would not force unit owners to fork out the same fees as penthouse owners.
He used Gold Coast skyscrapesr as an example, quoting predictions that under the legislation, lower unit owners would pay $2741 while the penthouse owners would pay $3757.
The majority of units are owned by investors, both interstate and overseas.
Mr Bleijie said a "long overdue'' review of the Body Corporate and Community Management Act would

Pasco schools: No issues with Obama letter-writing activity
WESLEY CHAPEL - The letter-to-the-president activity that sparked controversy and a Pasco County School District investigation last week was nothing more than education at its most routine, district officials concluded Monday. "This was people doing their job," Superintendent Heather Fiorentino said. She expressed frustration that the situation "got blown out of proportion" because a father who complained and labeled the activity an "attempt to indoctrinate our children" didn't first contact school officials with his concerns. She said a call to the school or the district might have quickly cleared things up.The letter-writing activity, which happened in the PLACE after-school program at Seven Oaks Elementary and not a regular classroom, was based on a prewritten lesson about the duties of the presidency. There was nothing inappropriate about it, Fiorentino said. "It's our job to teach civics, good citizenship and government," she said. Fourth-graders in the Seven Oaks PLACE program weren't the only ones involved in the activity. PLACE is a before and after school childcare program offered at most elementary schools in the county. "This went on at every PLACE program," Fiorentino said. "Only one parent complained." PLACE employees aren't teachers, but they do provide children with activities that align with the curriculum for their grade level. The fourth-graders have been learning about the three branches of government. The controversy erupted after one girl asked to write to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney instead of President Barack Obama. A PLACE worker told her the letter had to be to the president. That upset her father, who wrote an email saying that he and his wife "don't appreciate them insisting that our daughter write a letter to someone that we do not support." The girl's parents could not be reached for comment. The father's complaint was picked up nationally by Fox News after Todd Starnes, a Fox News Radio commentator, learned about it and reported it on his website. Fiorentino said originally she thought the father contacted Fox News directly, but she talked with him over the weekend and he said he sent his email to the Republican Party, which then forwarded it to Fox. Starnes has reported at least twice on the incident, with headlines such as "Fourth Graders Ordered to Write Letters to Obama" and "Parents Say School is Turning Kids into Obama Activists." Pasco schools had already come under heat from Republicans after an Obama supporter gave a partisan talk last month to Gulf High students during what school officials thought was going to be a nonpartisan voter-registration effort. Fiorentino, a Republican herself, expressed frustration that party officials didn't contact the district about the Seven Oaks situation before forwarding the father's email to Fox News. "Republicans have been asking for years that U.S. government be taught in schools," she said. "It is being taught and we are now being criticized for it." The letter to the president "wasn't meant to be a partisan letter," Fiorentino said. It was simply a writing activity connected to the government lesson. She acknowledged a classroom teacher might have handled the situation differently and allowed the student to write to Romney. PLACE staff members are being told they can be flexible if a child doesn't want to participate, Fiorentino said. The district on Monday provided the media with copies of the activity, which is titled "Dear Mr. President." The activity includes a "What Does the President Do?" information sheet, the address of the White House and a template for the letter. The template opens with the salutation "Dear President Obama" and begins with a pre-written introduction that explains to the president that the students are in the Pasco County schools PLACE program and have been studying government. That introduction is followed by a dozen blank lines. Students are instructed to "write a question to the president or a suggestion that could help others." Parents who want to find out about upcoming PLACE activities can easily find out, said Mary Grey, director of the district's PLACE program. Each PLACE site keeps a binder that lists activities for the coming weeks and those are available for parents to examine. "We don't hide any of the activities out there," she said. The "Dear Mr. President" activity is nothing new, Grey said. It's been used in the past to write letters to President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton, she said.

text: By Krishna V Kurup Aug 23 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets fell on Tuesday ahead of a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Friday that could give some clues on the timing of a U.S. interest rate hike. Also, weighing on sentiment was declining oil prices, with Goldman Sachs warning that August's price rally had been overdone and that a proposed oil production freeze at current near-record levels would not help rein in an oversupplied market. Indonesian stocks fell nearly 1 percent, dragged down by technology and consumer cyclical stocks. Indoritel Makmur Internasional Tbk PT lost 2.8 percent, while Astra International Tbk PT dropped 3 percent. The JCI (Jakarta Composite Index) is expected to move lower in Tuesday's trading, Reliance Securities said, adding volatility was expected to remain high until the end of this week as investors awaited Yellen's speech. Yellen's address is in focus with no major U.S. economic data due until Friday's second reading of gross domestic product for the second quarter. Amid conflicting signals from the Fed in recent days, global central bankers will gather from Aug. 25 for an annual meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. A recent batch of strong U.S. employment readings have yielded upbeat views from some Fed policymakers suggesting rates could rise as soon as September, though mixed messages from the bank's latest meeting have clouded the outlook. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.4 percent at 0450 GMT. Philippine shares fell 0.7 percent, with telecoms and consumer non-cyclicals leading the losses. PLDT Inc lost 1.5 percent, while JG Summit Holdings Inc declined 1 percent. The market is down from a mixture of profit-taking from Monday's short gain and the "risk-off mood" ahead of Yellen's speech, said Victor Felix, an analyst with Manila-based AB Capital Securities. If the speech is "dovish in tone", the market will spike next week, he added. Singapore shares fell marginally, with consumer goods and services leading the losses. Singapore's headline consumer price index in July fell on a year-on-year basis, weighed down by declines in housing and transportation costs, data showed.

Vista? What's a Vista? Microsoft proves it still knows a thing or two about desktop operating systems with Windows 7 selling more than 240 million licenses in its first year.
Long story short, Microsoft says 17.1% of all PCs now run Windows 7. Of all new PCs shipped today, 93 percent include Windows 7 compared with 70 percent that shipped with Vista after the same one-year period on the market.
A survey done by security-software experts Symantec listed several reasons that influenced consumers toward Windows 7: increased reliability, increased performance and better end-user experience.
Microsoft should be very proud of itself. Windows 7 is a great product. Here's to hoping all that creative energy will help Windows Phone 7 become just as successful.

Infant with skull fracture in serious condition
Infant in hospital with skull fracture
Day care center being investigated after the child stopped breathing
Published 6:30 am, Friday, December 3, 2004
DICKINSON - Police and social services officials were investigating a day care center Thursday after a 4-month-old girl was found to have a fractured skull.
The baby, whose name was not being released by authorities, stopped breathing Tuesday afternoon while at a registered child-care home operated by Joyce A. Toedter.
A day care worker called 911 for medical help and the child was administered CPR. The baby was taken to Clear Lake Regional Medical Center in Webster and was later flown by helicopter to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
Dickinson police Detective Tim Cromie said medical personnel found the baby's injuries to be suspicious "so we're interviewing anyone who may have had contact with her in the last 24 hours. Obviously we haven't talked to everybody yet."
Cromie said Toedter, 33, and the day care workers are cooperating.
The girl's parents have stayed at the baby's side in the hospital and have not been interviewed, he said.
"Right now we have no idea when, where, how or who," Cromie said. Medical personnel, he said, have not been able to determine when the child suffered the head injury.
The infant was listed in serious condition Thursday afternoon.
Cromie said there has been no prognosis on whether the child suffered permanent neurological damage.
Estella Olguin, a spokeswoman for Child Protective Services, said her department and the Child Care Licensing division of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services are investigating.
Records show that Toedter was issued a license to operate a day care at her home at 4908 Meadow Lane in October 2002. The home is registered to care for as many as a dozen children ranging from infants to school-age children, records show. The home operates from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The injured baby had been in Toedter's care since the girl was 6 weeks old, Cromie said.
A woman answering the phone at Toedter's home said Toedter did not want to comment.
Child-care licensing officials have made annual inspections of Toedter's home and did not find any major infractions. A year after getting licensed, Toedter was found to have some inadequate records such as parental permission for children to go on field trips and to take part in water activities.
Toedter also was cited for not having her cat's vaccinations current.
The home was cited Oct. 12 for not having current documentation for CPR training.
Olguin said the child care home was being inspected again Thursday.

Although they are receiving care on the Syrian side of the border, senior Turkish officials said there are no immediate plans to grant them entry.
Instead, preparations are being made to give them asylum in the event of an "extraordinary crisis" - and for now, they are being accommodated at camps for displaced people.
Many refugees had made the journey based on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's open-door policy for those escaping conflict.
One Syrian stuck at the border, Muhammed Idris, said: "Before, Tayyip Erdogan was saying on TV that Syria and Turkey are brothers, but now he is not opening the doors.
"Our houses are destroyed and we came to his house. Where else should we go?"
Tens of thousands more are expected to arrive in the border province of Kilis in coming days, and rebel-held zones of Aleppo still remain home to about 350,000 people.
"Our doors are not closed, but at the moment there is no need to host such people inside our borders," said Kilis province governor Suleyman Tapsiz, adding the refugees had been given food, blankets and tents.
There are fears another 70,000 Syrians could leave their homes to seek refuge if Russian and Syrian airstrikes do not end.
Rami Abdel Rahman, from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, described the plight of those displaced as "tragic" - with families sleeping outside in the cold without tents.
Earlier, EU officials warned Turkey of its obligation to keep its borders open to refugees fleeing the violence in Syria.
At present, the country has kept a major crossing closed for a second day.
It came as a Syrian minister warned any foreign ground troops entering the country "will return to their countries in coffins".
Foreign Minister Walid al Moualem's warning followed reports Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which both support rebel forces, could send in troops if the US-led coalition against terror group Islamic State decided on ground action.
Russian and Syrian government forces gained ground north of Aleppo, Syria's largest city, on Saturday.
Aleppo has been the target of a government offensive and Russian airstrikes against rebel forces since Monday.
NATO's secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg has warned that Russian airstrikes against opposition forces in Syria are "undermining efforts to find a political solution to the conflict."
Meanwhile, David Cameron has come under fresh pressure to allow 3,000 orphaned Syrian refugees in Europe to come to the UK.
Liberal Democrat peers including Lord Ashdown have written to the Prime Minister saying he has a "moral duty" to accept the unaccompanied children.
MP Yvette Cooper, the Chair of Labour's refugee taskforce, has also reiterated her call to give them refuge.
She told Sky News' Murnaghan programme: "We did that with the kinder transport [in the Second World War].
"We know that Europol has said 10,000 child refugees have just disappeared in Europe - probably into the arms of smuggler gangs, traffickers and even child prostitution and abuse."

Vizquel impressed by young Angels
Veteran shortstop thinks Aybar, Izturis have promise
By Lyle Spencer / MLB.com
Vizquel, a potential Hall of Famer who has embraced the role of teacher/backup for the Rangers this season, clearly has hastened the emergence of young Elvis Andrus at shortstop and Ian Kinsler at second base.
When he isn't focused on Andrus' development, Vizquel zeroes in on other shortstops, including the duo that handles the job for the Angels, the team the Rangers have been chasing most of the season in the American League West.
In Erick Aybar and Maicer Izturis, Vizquel feels manager Mike Scioscia is twice blessed at one of the most important positions on the field.
"Both those guys, Aybar and Izturis, are very good players having very good years," Vizquel said. "I've known Izturis from way back; he was with Cleveland as a young guy when I was there. I haven't seen as much of Aybar, but he has a lot of talent.
"They're both still young, and you can see they're getting smarter. They play with confidence, which is very important. Izturis, I would say, is more like me in the way he plays than Aybar. I remember talking to [Izturis] when we were in Cleveland, and I could see he really wanted to learn."
With the Indians, a club absolutely stacked in talent in the '90s, Vizquel played alongside Roberto Alomar in arguably the most athletically gifted double-play combination in the game's history.
Izturis, who has primarily played second base this season with Aybar making his 126th start at short on Sunday, absorbed everything he could from both Vizquel and Alomar.
"I watched them and then had videos and would watch them all the time on [flights], wanting to see what they did and how they reacted in different situations," Izturis. "It was great to have that opportunity."
At times this season, Aybar and Izturis have stirred memories of Vizquel and Alomar with their range, quickness and ability to blend their skills so seamlessly. Howard Kendrick also has played at a high level at second base, paired with either Aybar or Izturis at shortstop.
"The Angels have a lot of good young players," Vizquel said, "and they signed two great players as free agents: Bobby Abreu and Torii Hunter. Those two guys have really carried their team at times this season.
"They have a lot of guys who have done a great job -- [Chone] Figgins, Aybar, Izturis, [Kendry] Morales. Juan Rivera is having a great year. Almost everybody in their lineup hits .300. I wouldn't like to be a pitcher facing them."
The Rangers have played their best baseball against the Angels, going 10-4 heading into Sunday's series finale against a club that used to torment them.
"This team has the tools to play well against them," Vizquel said. "We've played great against the Angels, but then we get swept by Oakland. We have to learn to be consistent against everybody."
Nobody is perfect, but Vizquel, in his part-time role, has been close.
Batting .268 overall in 56 games and .485 against lefties, the magic man is errorless in 25 games at shortstop, 15 games at second and 16 at third, handling 195 chances flawlessly.
No wonder fellow Venezuelan Izturis, who has committed only four errors in 83 starts at second and shortstop, grew up wanting to be like Omar.

I would think the segmentation is a matter of the reality of marketing as well as the geographic and legal barriers. Digital Downloads definitely reduce the cost of such a small market but how much does one need to invest in lawyers and distributors to allow you to legally sell? I would think a successful product in your local market first helps considerably in researching ROI.
The courts in Australia recently struck down regional protections on copyrighted products, not because there's anything wrong with IMO but simply because not enough product seems to make it in your market.
Its a shame how you are stuck and how naturally it would push those willing to obtain products less than legally. The only solution I could see is freer markets. However, how would your government feel about so much capital leaving the country so easily? Look how the gov'ts block gambling websites.

To continue operations, the waste materials had to be processed in a new way. The Solution: Geotube® dewatering technology provided the best solution for the plant. A large number of customized Geotube® containers (sized 60' circumference x 464' long) were installed as an inline process to maintain production and ensure environmental compliance [photo 1]. The units were designed to stack up to seven layers high, and they were nested among each other for stability [photo 2]. The stacking capability maximized capacity within a limited footprint. The Results: Dewatered solids averaged 28-35%. Once the waste lagoon area is filled, it will be capped.

"Always something new, always something I didn't expect, and sometimes it isn't horrible." ~ Rand Al'Thor, The Great Hunt
Someone once optimistically said, "No news is good news"… and I hate to disillusion them, but it isn't always the truth. In my case, "no news" is usually bad news because I hate sharing my weaknesses and worries with the whole world.
And since I have a blog online, I mean quite literally … the whole world.
Everyone has access to my thoughts and musings here; friends, family, bosses, co-workers, my landlady, my neighbors…. there are times I wish my blog were as 'private' as Facebook…. (and yes, I see the irony of that statement!) with a system in place to 'filter' the news I share.
But that defeats the purpose of an online journal, huh?
Perhaps in light of real catastrophes such as tornadoes, terrorists, zombies, nuclear power leaks, raptures, and Canadian postal strikes… someone could help me to see things in perspective.
In the past, I've dealt with stress by over-sleeping, fasting (erm, okay… starving), throwing myself into hobbies, love-affairs, or immersing myself in fantasy novels.
I mean, how can somebody complain about chocolate syrup on the carpet, when an evil entity is breaking free from his immortal captivity to destroy creation?
Or the fact that my once-immaculate house is crawling with ants, if somewhere an army of blood-thirsty monsters are wreaking slaughter on a village of unsuspecting farmers?
So what if my children throw temper tantrums over their cereal, or refuse to eat dinner? A cursed Blight might turn fresh food rotten, poison crops with incurable disease, and spread famine and death across the country….
It's so easy to lose oneself in the sufferings of people who never existed.
"Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today."
~ Mat Cauthon, Fires of Heaven
Okay, I have a confession: I've recently resumed my former love-affair with James Ridney Jr.
My husband knows all about it… and his attention has been diverted with re-runs of "LOST", that he doesn't care why I'm awake at 3:00AM with another man.
If you aren't intimately familiar with Mr. Ridney already, please click this link first….
and for pity's sake, put that red letter away. ;)
I've been completely absorbed in reading "The Gathering Storm" and "Towers of Midnight", which were actually written by Brandon Sanderson with copious notes and drafts left behind by the late author.
Averaging 100 pages per day, once a conservative number for this avid bookworm, is now consuming virtually all of my 'free time' for the last two weeks. For a series whose books range between 760-1000 pages in length.
I haven't abandoned my artwork completely…. as, well… um…. as this new distraction inspired me to create bookmarks!! See?!? ROFL
Michelle, from The True Book Addict has been trying to persuade me to make some. So there ya go, Michelle! LOL
Painting and creating art, once considered a hobby, has become 'work' to me – something that needs to be done.
And as a true procrastinator, anything 'needing to be done' is avoided as long as possible.
However the time may come, sooner than I'm prepared for, when creating art and struggling to keep an organized house may take a backseat to a job with a steady income.
"The men in my family are strong because the women in my family kill and eat the weak ones."
~ Robert Jordan
Joe's boss gave him some potentially devastating news about his future with the company. In a gutsy way, no less.
On a Friday afternoon… 2 days before Father's Day (what a terrific way to celebrate being a Dad, huh?)… and coincidentally after the HR dept. had already left for the weekend.
Having received a pat on the back and a "good ol' boy" annual raise at his yearly evaluation in March, the news came as an unexpected slap in the face. We spent the whole of last weekend re-connecting as a family, trying to cheer him up, making lemonade from … cat poop.
Of course, nothing has been determined yet… and we won't know anything for certain until later this summer… but I tossed my cards on the table and offered to return to work full-time in retail management if the worst happens.
It opens a whole undesirable can of worms, though…. not least of which would be integrating the kids back into the daycare system.
We never had success with daycare, having gone through 3 sitters in one year, and we've scratched our heads at everyone else who makes it look so easy.
Being halfway across the country from our nearest relatives doesn't make babysitting struggles any easier.
Who can you affordably find to watch young children every weekend AND every major holiday?
What about 4:00AM on Black Friday?
Or 6:00AM on New Year's Day?
What happens when they catch a stomach bug, or a fever, and daycare cannot (by law) accept them until they've recovered? Mild fevers and loose stools can last for days.
I've been written up by my supervisor for missing work due to sick kids, or cancelled daycare.
We seriously do NOT want to repeat that drama again…. or the confrontations with sitters because my workload or unforeseen event caused me to run late picking them up.
This potential threat to our situation also means I probably won't be participating in that 40,000+ attendee arts & crafts festival I had hoped to do this fall.
The investment required for buying printing supplies en masse, frames and mats, cellophane bags, etc. might well be recouped if my prints and paintings sell well.
But I'm not a gambler.
I don't want to spend extra money at a crucial time when we need to conserve it.
There is a small selfish part of me that wants to take over as breadwinner, and force Joe to remain home with the children …. I want to come home from my gruelling 12+ hour workday, plop onto the couch and watch TV or read for a couple of hours, until I fall asleep.
Naturally, I'll let him worry about putting the kids to bed.
And waking them in the morning. Fixing their meals. Cleaning their messes.
And every tantrum and fight in between. :P
But then, I'd have to give him an allowance, and watch him blow it on "stuff" for his entrepreneurial ventures, and listen to him whine about "not having any time" to cultivate his online business….
knowing that if he managed his time as effectively as I managed my inventory of tuna fish and applesauce, he'd put the fantasy novel away and get his butt back into the studio!
If the Pattern wills it, we will trade places, and he can finally build some of those wooden pieces he has been promising me ~ since our first date!
If we're blessed, things will remain as they are, and I'll continue to whine about the kids, the cats, the chores, and how stressed out I am.
Until the sun sets, and we all turn into monsters and eat our neighbors.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Wyman Center, Inc., Eureka, MO, USA
I'm very grateful to have experienced the entire Wyman Center Inc. Teen Leadership Program. As a parent of one of the teens Wyman has included me, made me feel important and also has educated me on how to raise and listen to my daughter. Our relationship has grown tremendously and we actually can laugh at our not so happy moments withought the attitudes. I can see the growth the program has had on my daugher as well as myself. Since our family was broken up early in my daughters life due to my divorce, it wasn't expected for her to accomplish much due to the rough start. Thanks to programs like Wyman where it doesn't matter where you started just that you have a willing and cooperative desire anything is possible. This is my daughter's last year with the program and I mean she has traveled to places we never would have been able to afford, she has been exposed to the environment: surviving outside and the awareness of trees, plants, birds,etc., met people that have really helped her along the way - the staff is OUTSTANDING, developed relationships with other teens and the list continues to grow on and on. The program encourages her to do good in School, Home and the Community. Thank you for this opportunity to share a few words of appreciation.

A prosecution witness was offered $50,000 to testify against Albert Haynesworth in a misdemeanor sexual abuse case, the former Washington Redskins defensive lineman's lawyer said.
Haynesworth is accused of sliding his credit card into a waitress's bra and touching her breast last February at the upscale W Hotel. He is due to stand trial Aug. 23 in D.C.
A private investigator was told by a witness that the witness was offered the money on behalf of a certain person who he believed was the complaining witness, lawyer A. Scott Bolden said in new court papers. The Associated Press had reported that the witness was approached by a man that the waitress introduced as her attorney, but the person was not the waitress's attorney, Bolden said.
"It was a W employee who says that he was approached by someone connected to the complaining witness," Bolden told News4's Chris Gordon. "An offer of money was made in exchange for his testimony. The only reason you would make such an offer is because you're concerned about that witness's testimony, and that same witness says that the contact between the parties was consensual that night."
The waitress had her hands full with glasses when Haynesworth tried to pay the bill, according to the police report. He asked if he could put his credit card in her blouse and she said yes. But the waitress alleged that Haynesworth went further by sticking his hand down her shirt and fondling her.
Bolden has said the incident didn't take place.
Haynesworth's agent told Gordon the alleged $50,000 offer proves "that this case always has been and always will be about money, and I believe that if the defendant wasn't Albert Haynesworth, then the case would have never seen the inside of a grand jury room, much less a court room."
The Redskins traded Haynesworth last month to the New England Patriots after his season-long feud with Redskins coach Mike Shanahan.
Bolden did not immediately return a call from the Associated Press seeking comment. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office also did not immediately return a phone message.

Competition, Innovation and Intellectual Property Rights in Software Markets
This paper analyzes when it may be desirable for the government to stimulate open source software as a response to market failures in software markets. Our most important finding is that directly stimulating open source software, e.g. by acting as a lead customer, can improve dynamic efficiency if (i) there is a serious customer lock-in problem, while (ii) to develop the software, there is no need to purchase specific, complementary inputs at a substantial cost, and (iii) follow-on innovations are socially valuable but there are impediments to contractual agreements between developers that aim at realizing such innovations.

Yakima Bound Ronnie Dunn Talks About His Status as 'Singer in a Cowboy Band'
Ronnie Dunn has embarked on a new solo career, releasing his hit single, 'Bleed Red,' and hitting the road without his former duo partner. He's coming to Yakima July 21st and thanks to theboot.com…he talks about his future as a solo artist.
He spent more than 20 years in the studio and on tour with Kix Brooks, and admittedly, it's just a little strange for the Oklahoma singer not to have the wild Louisiana cowboy come charging out on stage into his line of vision.
"That's just conditioned reflexes these days," Ronnie laughingly tells The Boot. "I was just telling someone on the college football network — they asked, 'What's different about it?' [I said] 'I don't have a linebacker coming in about to blindside me in the middle of the third song.' I say that with all due respect."
Luckily, Ronnie has some of the same guys backing him up as he did when he was part of Brooks & Dunn, which creates a sense of security and familiarity on stage. "It takes that," he admits. "It would be hard to step out with a complete different group of guys and pull off comfortably what I need to do."
While he feels much more confident on stage having had his vast experience with Kix, this is not Ronnie's first foray as a solo artist. He played numerous bars and clubs for years before heading to Nashville and hooking up as a duo. The first track on his forthcoming self-titled album is 'Singer in a Cowboy Band,' which he co-wrote with Craig Wiseman. The tune describes his life and the sacrifices he's had to make to pursue his dream.
"It's autobiographical. I've played all those bars in Oklahoma and Texas," Ronnie notes. "I've torn down my amps and the sound system, drove to the gig, drove home. I got home at sunup. We didn't make any money. We weren't doing it for money. It would be great if we did. Half the time we were just trying to survive the fight at the end of the night when we saw the bar tab, and seeing who would be coming up with the money to pay for that."
Chasing the dream of being a musician and a songwriter came to Ronnie after a few years of trying to fulfill what he felt was his obligation to do the "right" thing. "My poor mother, I did everything I could to go to school in Abilene and fulfill her dream and my grandfather's, of becoming a minister or something. That wasn't for me. That wasn't what I was cut out to be; I was just trying to make them happy, and it took me years to come to terms with that and overcome that guilt. My favorite line in that song is 'Mama don't get it, preacher don't understand, why I'm a singer in a cowboy band.'"
Ronnie attended Abilene Christian University where he studied psychology, but when he began playing bass and singing with bands in the area, the university gave him a choice of either quitting the band or the university. He chose his passion, left the college and moved to Tulsa, Okla., to check out the music scene.
Recently, the hillbilly troubadour reinforced his status as a singer in a cowboy band by having the word "cowboy" inked on his forearm. "I almost had to go to a priest or an exorcist to get a tattoo, maybe I overcompensated when I did it," Ronnie laughs. "'I meant cowboy, but maybe not that big.' It worked its way into the song. It was part of it."
Ronnie is set to hit stores June 7 with his self-titled album, featuring both 'Bleed Red' and 'Singer in a Cowboy Band.'

Mortgage application volume rose for the third consecutive week with purchase volume at its highest level since the expiration of the Obama administration's home buyer tax credit program. For the week ended Jan. 18, total application volume was up 7%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The increase in application volume is occurring even though interest rates on the popular 30-year conforming fixed-rate mortgage have risen five of the last six weeks.
The Refinance Index was up 8% over the previous week, while the seasonally adjusted purchase index was up 3%, its highest point since May 2010.
The MBA said the increase in purchase applications was primarily for conventional loans, as the seasonally adjusted Conventional Purchase Index was at its highest level since October 2009.
On an unadjusted basis, purchase applications are up 26% when compared with the same week in 2012.
The market share of refi apps continues to remain at 82%.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($417,500 or less) was up one basis point to 3.62%. The average contract interest rate for 30-year FHA-insured loans increased one basis point to 3.4%.
The MBA's data showed the average contract rate for jumbo 30-year FRMs bucking the trend, falling three basis points to 3.85%, while the rate for 15-year FRMs also decline, moving down one basis point to 2.87%. The rate for the 5/1 ARM fell by five basis points to 2.61%.

Bmosing's Chili Pepper Red TJ
1 Attachment(s)
Hello :wave: I have had my Jeep for about a year now and have been upgrading it here and there along the way so I figured it was time for a build thread.
My Brother and Cousin both got CJ's a couple short years back and I wanted in on the fun so i started the search. I found a 98 Sport here on jeepforum for sale fairly close to me in Louisiana. I purchased it right around new years. It had a 4 inch pro comp lift, pro comp bumpers, rugged ridge rocker gaurds, and a few other items.
Here it is the day i bought it:
2 Attachment(s)
Like most people here the first things i took care of were painting the headlight bezels and chrome gas filler. I also installed my CB radio I had in my DD truck.(much more useful in the Jeep) I then ordered some new bumpers. Metalcloak front and a smittybilt swing out tire carrier for the rear.
1 Attachment(s)
In the mean time I replaced my worn out truxus tires with some BFG KM2's 33x12.50. I went to get an alignment and found out my tie rod was bent so I upgraded to the currie steering and a rancho stabilizer. I also did the alignment and set the toe in by myself using one of the write-ups here in jf. Went on a wheeling trip to Hidden Falls, tx with it pretty much in that state and really enjoyed its capabilities. When i got home I ordered an aussie locker for the front D30.
3 Attachment(s)
I installed my Aussie this past weekend and was impressed with the ease of the install. I had also ordered a riddler diff cover and some color matched spray paint to dress it up a little bit. I cannot wait to go wheeling with the aussie installed. So here is the most current pic of my rig
I like it, Did you get the diff cover paint mixed or is it duplicolor factory match pepboys type spray-bomb? how closely did it match the factory paint? I need to color match my yet to be installed MCE flaties.
Love my ChiliPepper...
Nice looking Jeep!!
I ordered the paint online here http://www.automotivetouchup.com/cho...model=Wrangler
It is a pretty close match but not perfect, although I would think it would be a lot closer if you were two spray the same kind of metals. I would also think you could try to match it closer by changing the number of coats. I wanted to try this stuff because tube fenders are on my list of mods to come and I would much rather a close match than painting them black.
So a little update... installed a Volant intake this weekend to make some room for the tnt phantom fenders that will be here Tuesday.
Also got to work removing the old fenders. Got everything unbolted from the inner fender and removed the passenger side fender.
And Here is a photochop I did to see what they will look like. I will try to color match them with the same spray paint I did my diff cover in. It should be fairly close.
So I should have the fenders Tuesday and hopefully on as the week progresses. I am also looking for an axle upgrade and may have found what I'm looking for:shhh:
So the fenders came in and I got the passenger side fitted up fine and all the holes drilled for the fuse box.
Then when I got to the driver's side I ran into a small problem. Come to find out, I have ABS which means there is a tray very similar to the battery tray on the passenger side that wont allow the T&T fender to fit properly.
I did not see anything in the instructions about this so I gave to dudes at T&T a call. There is another tray included in the package that allows you to mount a compressor or other accessories in that spot. So I will just remount the ABS unit onto this tray and should be gtg. I am going to try to get more done today so I should be done by the weekend:2thumbsup:
New pictures
So I finally got around to cleaning the jeep up and taking some good pictures of the fenders all finished up. I really like the way they came out and the spray paint I put on them matches close enough for me. I still need to do something with my rear flares though...I want to put full corner guards at some point but not quite yet, so maybe I'll trim them up and throw some fresh black paint on them. Let me know what you guys think:2thumbsup:
I also bought a D44 and HP30 from ceichicon here on jf. D44 has arb, alloy shafts, and disc brakes. HP30 has aussie locker, alloy shafts, currie steering. Thanks to ceichicon for a pretty easy sale from his end:thumbsup: I will probably wait a little while to put these axles in because we have a couple of wheeling trips planned coming up and I don't want to put the jeep down in the mean time.
Well, I trimmed my fenders up and then drove over to my cousin's shop to check clearances on his forklift.
Here is flexing the front to full bump. It looks like i can gain about an inch or 2 more if I shorten the bumps stops, but I know at some point soon I will be going bigger on tires so I think I will leave them where they are for now.
Great little build you've got yourself so far! We Chili Pepper TJs need to stick together!
Love those tube fenders, looks great!
Looking good, Us Chilipepper guys are still following your thread.
Thanks for the replies guys! Just to update...We went on a wheeling trip to Hidden Falls again in Marble Falls,TX about 2 weeks ago. It was WET. We got there late Friday night and it was severe t-storms and a nice little flash flood hit at 2:35am. Needless to say, it was a rough night camping haha. It rained off and on most of saturday but we still had a great time. And sunday turned out to be a really nice day. Too bad we had to leave after lunch. Anyway here are the pics
all loaded up on my brother and I's new trailer!(took a lick to my jeep fund, but a very necessary addition:highfive:)
and some carnage before we even got to wheel
...on to the fun stuff
can't even see that purtty chilli pepper red!!
So, that brings me to how my jeep currently sits. Which is with the D35 unbolted from the jeep. I will be putting my new to me D44 and HP30 in throughout the week so stick around :2thumbsup:

Purcell Fantasy In Nomine Arranged for Cello Septet
Arranged by Hans Erik Deckert
Title: Fantasy In Nomine (for Cello Septet)
Composer: Henry Purcell
Instrument: Violoncello
Edited By: Hans Erik Deckert
Instrumentation: Violoncello Ensemble
Pages: 5 for the score and 7 for the violoncello parts
Purchase the score and parts together and receive 50% off the combined price!
Henry Purcell's 7-part fantasy for viola de gamba ensemble is one of the most poignant compositions from the English baroque period. The last of the Fantasy pieces, nicknamed "In Nomine", is here in a version for cello septet. "In Nomine (Domini)" means "In the name of the Lord" and refers to the cantus firmus, which is the foundation of this work. In this arrangement it is played as long note values in the third cello, and would be even more effective if played by multiple cellists. This cantus firmus melody originated from the Gregorian chorale "Gloria tibi Trinitas". "In Nomine" compositions were very common in English music from that period. This close polyphonic writing in the other six voices often evokes sharp harmonic dissonances such as an A-flat and an A in measure 20 or B-flat and B in measure 41. The pitches in all the voices are kept true to the original scoring.

Officers Make Contact with 80 Drivers in Game Day Enforcement
Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol made contact with more than 80 motorists during special enforcement efforts before and after the Saturday NU-Penn State Game.
Two citations were issued for driving while intoxicated, 38 citations and warnings were given for speeding and three were issued for failure to wear a seatbelt.
The special enforcement designed to help ease traffic congestion and reduce the potential for injury crashes was the second in a series of special efforts planned for the remaining Husker home games.
Traffic enforcement will also be conducted during the Saturday NU-Minnesota game.
The additional enforcement is paid for thanks in part to a $6,570 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety (NOHS).

Turkey Backtracks, Asks Israel for Mobile Homes for Earthquake Survivors
Israel to airlift prefabricated homes to Turkey, which will provide temporary housing for families whose homes were destroyed and are now stuck in constant rain and single-digit Celsius overnight temperatures.
ERCIS, Turkey - The onset of rain and low temperatures in this earthquake-battered region on Tuesday led Ankara to backtrack from its declarations in the past two days about not needing outside aid. On Tuesday, the Turkish government asked its Jerusalem counterpart for portable structures.
A spokesman for Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Tuesday that several prefabricated homes would be airlifted to Turkey Wednesday , to be followed by additional shipments of supplies within the next few days. The homes will provide temporary housing for families whose homes were destroyed in the earthquake and are now stuck in constant rain and single-digit Celsius overnight temperatures.
The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said Ankara had sought the aid via the Israeli embassy in the Turkish capital. President Shimon Peres was the first senior Israeli figure to offer assistance to Turkey, in a phone call on Sunday to his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also offered assistance in a telephone call to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan after the quake struck on Sunday.
The Turkish embassy in Tel Aviv joined the appeal to the foreign and defense ministries yesterday. The humanitarian step came as more than 400 were reported dead in the disaster that struck southeastern Turkey.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor confirmed that Turkey had "relayed a request to the embassy in Ankara for mobile homes."
In Ankara, a Foreign Ministry official said Turkey had requested prefabricated housing and tents from more than 30 countries.
"We informed all countries who offered help, including Israel, of a request on specific items for post-emergency material," the official said.
Turkey has declined all Israeli offers to send Israel Defense Forces rescue teams to help in the search for survivors.

A five-year-long link between crude oil and gold has come apart as the economic recovery boosts energy consumption and lowers the metal's appeal as a haven, encouraging investors to buy oil and sell gold.
The 120-day correlation between West Texas Intermediate(NYMEX:CLN14) crude and gold futures(COMEX:GCN14) slipped into negative territory this year for the first time since July 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The relationship tightened, though remained negative, last week as military tension in Iraq boosted prices for both commodities.
Crude and gold moved in tandem for a half decade as investors sought to diversify into commodities from equities and bonds. U.S. economic growth is boosting expectations that fuel demand will rise, while gold is losing its allure as an alternative to the dollar, with the Federal Reserve signaling tighter monetary policy. Gold will be the worst-performing commodity in the next 12 months, forecast 71 percent of investors polled by Credit Suisse in May, while 49 percent said crude has the best outlook.
"The long-term chart for oil tells me that the price wants to go higher," Michael Shaoul, who oversees more than $20 billion as chief executive officer at Marketfield Asset Management LLC in New York, said by phone yesterday. "Gold had a modest bounce this month, which I think has run its course."
Oil Rising
WTI crude slid 0.2 percent today to $106.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The grade is up 4.5 percent this quarter. Brent(NYMEX:CON14), the European benchmark, gained 0.5 percent on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, for a 5.8 percent gain in the second quarter. Gold futures for August delivery were little changed at $1,271.80 an ounce on the Comex in New York, down 1 percent this quarter.
U.S. gross domestic product will increase 2.2 percent this year and 3 percent in 2015, following a 1.9 percent gain in 2013, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The economy plunged into the worst recession in the post-World War II era in 2009. The Fed reduced its monthly asset buying to $45 billion in April, the fourth straight cut of $10 billion. The central bank, which ends a two-day meeting today, may raise its benchmark interest rate faster than investors expect, according to a majority of economists in a June 12-16 survey.
"For the oil market, we're coming out of a period of economic malaise and should see demand grow with increased economic activity," Rob Haworth, a senior investment strategist in Seattle at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, which oversees about $120 billion of assets, said by phone last week. "The Fed taper, and ultimate ending of quantitative easing, takes away fundamental support for the gold market."
Iraq Tension
The 120-day correlation between WTI and gold was -0.06 yesterday compared with -0.1 on June 11. The link strengthened to 0.62 in April 2010. The Brent-gold correlation was 0.08 yesterday compared with 0.05 on June 11. The Brent correlation dropped to -0.1 on Feb. 28. A figure of -1 would mean the two move opposite to each other.
Crude and gold gained after Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant captured Mosul, Iraq's biggest northern city, last week and advanced toward Baghdad, pushing OPEC's second-largest oil producer to the brink of civil war.
"Gold's correlation with oil has strengthened of late, driven by growing tensions in Iraq," analysts including Edel Tully at UBS AG said in a report yesterday. "Looking back over the past year shows that the relationship between gold and oil has generally weakened."

Vice presidents at investment banks in Hong Kong and Singapore are, in theory, well placed in the current job market.
Banks continue to hand them extra work as they trim more senior jobs. And because graduate hiring in Asia was cut following the 2008 financial crisis, VPs are now comparatively hard to find.
However, headhunters say the VP candidates they are talking to this year are increasingly worried about their futures in the banking sector.
Here's what VPs in Asia are asking recruiters, and here's what recruiters are advising them.
Which of my key skills are becoming obsolete?
Recruiters view a lot of job descriptions so they are often quizzed by VPs about which skills are becoming popular and which are falling out of favour in their field. "The financial landscape is changing – some roles are being outsourced and are never coming back," says Adrian Choo, a director at Lee Hecht Harrison in Singapore. "In five years' time, even some risk management functions might be replaced by business analytics or artificial intelligence software. VPs need to constantly monitor the market to see if their skills are sustainable in the long run. You don't want to be obsolete by your 40s."
Can I transfer out of the back-office?
Back-office professionals who've reached VP level increasingly face an uncertain future as banks continue to offshore operations jobs away from Singapore and Hong Kong. "But people in product control, trade support and price verification often make excellent internal transferees into the governance world – in particular operational risk, where technical product knowledge and an understanding of internal procedures give these controllers an edge," says Mark O'Reilly, APAC managing director at recruiters Astbury Marsden.
Should I quit banking for the corporate sector?
Expansionist Chinese companies are on the hunt for bankers to guide them through mergers and IPOs. VP bankers are now being proactive and asking recruiters about these jobs in increasing numbers, says Eunice Ng, director of search firm Avanza Consulting in Hong Kong. Interest in the corporate sector is now roughly equivalent to the traditional mid-career longing for the buy-side. But although these bankers want to share in the success of Chinese corporate expansion, Ng says improving their work-life balance is their main motivation for moving.
But do I have a sufficient safety net?
When weighing up whether to leave the finance sector, Asian bankers tend to be highly risk adverse. A big concern is often whether their savings are large enough to justify removing the iron rice bowl of a VP job. "If candidates have the personal means to allow them to pursue their passions outside of banking, I strongly endorse this choice," says Amanda Lote, MD of headhunters Lote & Partners in Hong Kong. "I saw an IB candidate who halved his pay to join an e-commerce firm, but he was independently wealthy and said money was unimportant – he was attracted to the scalability of the business plan."
Does my loyalty make me a salary loser?
"The market in Asia still promotes job hopping by offering fairly large salary increments every time someone moves," says recruiter James Carss. "Those who remain loyal often get left behind on pay and by the time they reach VP they can end up with below-market salaries. This eventually causes frustration and they want to move themselves, but I'd advise them to have an open conversation with their boss prior to any job search."
My sponsor quit – so what now?
"I meet a lot of excellent candidates who've been fast tracked and sponsored early on in their career but have now hit a glass ceiling as they've got older and become a VP," says Carss. "Often this promotion process goes wrong if their main sponsor leaves the bank. I always advise them to realistically compare possibilities for internal career progression with any external roles available on the market."

Bacon Restaurant Has to Close Because of Bacon Smell?
Can a restaurant that sells bacon, be closed because of the smell of bacon?
A San Francisco bacon restaurant called 'Bacon Bacon' must shut its doors after neighbors' complaints about the smell of bacon revealed a fatal permitting issue, according to the San Francisco Examiner.
Bacon Bacon,will close its doors at the end of service Friday after its owner "failed" to negotiate with neighbors who took offense to the pork restaurant's smell.
The smell led to the revelation that the restaurant lacked "proper health permits" last summer.
The restaurant may be able to secure a permit but the first time a hearing can be held is July. So the restaurant must close.
Neighbors claimed that the "porcine aroma" was overpowering and that grease was illegally disposed of in the sewers.
Neighbors also say that they offered to buy the restaurant owner a new air filter,but he declined.
Owner Jim Angelus says he'll revive the restaurant's food truck when he can find an approved kitchen location in which to prepare meals.

New Green Energy FCU Organizing
The NCUA has approved a field of membership for the proposed new Green Energy Federal Credit Union, its organizer and sponsor said.
The initial FOM will be a number of businesses and organizations involved in residential and commercial energy renewal and efficiency improvements, said AFC First Financial.
The company said it is a provider of energy lending and rebate programs and manages a network of more than 3,000 approved contractors who work in selling, installing and servicing high-efficiency HVAC, weatherization and other improvements.
AFC First Financial said it also is seeking designation as a low-income credit union and Community Development Financial Institution, as well as an FOM that would include an underserved area of approximately 100,000 people in the area around its hometown of Allentown, Pa.
Green Energy FCU organizer W. Robert Hall, a Virginia-based consultant, authored a Filene Research Institute study titled Finding Sustainable Profits: Green Lending in Credit Unions that found more credit unions are offering loans for energy improvements. Hall said the new credit union also aims to serve that need with affordable financing.
"Research has found that the average low-income household spends as much as 20% of total monthly income on energy costs," Hall said. "Lowering these costs can play an important part in a broader effort to build wealth and economic opportunity in these households and communities."
Peter Krajsai, AFC First's chairman/CEO, said, "Many of the companies and their employees in our contractor network have expressed a strong interest in having access to a credit union that understands their financial services needs and that shares their commitment to helping people and businesses save money by lowering their energy costs and supporting the adoption of clean energy alternatives."
John Hayes, the company's president and chief operating officer, added, "We also work with a number of nonprofit organizations whose members have said they would like to be able to have the money in their personal checking and savings accounts support the adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements in both the residential and commercial sectors."
They said work is under way to complete the charter application by the end of 2012.

Leave early and drive with care.
That is probably the best advice for anyone going anywhere in the North Bay on Friday morning, given a plethora of downed trees, damaged power lines and small brush fires, that have roads closed around the region.
Several major routes closed to traffic Friday morning included Arnold Drive, between Leveroni Road and Petaluma Avenue, and Trinity Road, about a mile from Highway 12, due to a downed power line.
River Road also has been shut down between Wohler and Trenton-Healdsburg roads since at least 2:35 a.m., due to a death investigation and police action, authorities said.
An overnight wind event with winds gusting to 45 mph wrought havoc on the area, smashing windows and bringing trees and limbs down into power lines and structures.
A high wind advisory issued Thursday by the National Weather Advisory was set to expire at 10 a.m. Friday.

Any tips for my first flight with a mid-wing plane?
I've been flying a high wing trainer for some time and I want to transition to a mid-wing plane. I have a Great Planes Easy Sport 40 that has a Fox .40 engine. This is the ARF version which has a semi-symmetrical wing. When flying the high wing trainer, I never use the rudder except for nose wheel steering on the ground.
Is there anything important that I need to know before starting to fly this type of plane? All info or suggestions will be appreciated.
I don't think you'll notice a massive difference to be honest, but be aware of the following;
- Stability
Model is likely to be less auto stable, and so will need you to "fly" it a little more. As an example, when entering a bank angle, the model will probably hold that bank angle until you tell it to do something different. In some ways, this actually makes flying easier, as you are not "fighting" the inherant stability to the same extent.
- Agility
I would expect a snappier control response, but not a big enough difference to really worry you, but do start using the rudder, there's no point paying to have a servo in there, if you're not going to use it, it comes in handy for stall turns, flat turns and keeping loops and the like on track, as well as cross wind landings and such.
- Pitch stability and lift
If your previous trainer had a flat bottom section, then it would possibly have had more incidence and a more forward CG, making it more stable in pitch. In practical terms, what this amounts to is that on a trainer, put into a shallow dive, it will usually pull itself out. Less camber, and a more rearward CG reduces that characteristic, so bear that in mind when landing and taking off, where a trainer would probably take off by itself, the Easy Sport might not, so be aware of that.
Other than that, I personally think models like the Easy Sport are actually better trainers than many models designed for the job, they are easier to fly IMHO, but you have the scope to increase the control movements and get into some basic aerobatics.
Have fun, it'll be just fine, as will you!
Good Luck, as mentioned, shouldnt be too difficult for you, should just be slightly more responsive, the easy sports are great!
Given how you have described your abilities, my only suggestion would be to have your instructor take it up, trim it out and let you try it out. I won't recommend that you fly it yourself, unless you are confident of your abilities. The fact that you asked this question means you are not confident and that is O.K. If your instructor feels your ready, then go ahead. Asking the question here, where no one knows your capibilities, is almost a fruitless endeavor!
haha I'm almost in the same boat. I dont think I'll be doing any maiden flights anytime soon, but I've been thinking of my second model and probably will get a stick or a low wing trainer. Someone let me fly their stick at the field ( one of my trainers) so apparently he felt confident in my skill enough to let me fly his plane ( I didn't lol so I quickly gave it back after a few minutes of flying) and I find that the other models are more touchy or responsive than trainers. That I think will be the hardest thing for me, although only flying it for a few minutes towards the end my turns and loops became more smoother. I think once you have the basics down the rest just need adjustments on how to fly. It's kinda like a car, some are faster and smoother steering than others, but you probably can drive them all well after a few miles of driving them :-D
Well, I had to wait for some decent weather, but I finally got the Easy Sport out to the field yesterday for its first flight. I flew my trainer a couple of times to "loosen up", then it was time to progress to "the next level".
Trying to get it in the air was worse than the flight. First I needed to fill it up, so I connected the fuel hose and proceeded to pump juice into the tank. However, after about three turns of the Six Shooter, fuel started to squirt out of the muffler/overflow line. HUH...??? The tank was supposed to be empty. Turns out that even though I had checked carefully when building, the fuel pickup and muffler pressure lines were reversed! Swapped them and now I could put fuel into the tank.
Choked it to fill the fuel line and get a little fuel into the engine. Connected the glow driver and put the starter on the spinner. The engine would hardly turn over. It turned over by hand just fine, but the starter had serious trouble. Borrowed a starter from another guy and it worked okay. So apparently, between starting the trainer and trying to start the Easy Sport, the batteries in the starter died.
Put the glow driver back on and spun the motor. No joy. Took out the plug and applied the glow driver. The plug barely lit. Put another battery in the glow driver...same thing. Borrowed a glow driver from the same "other guy" and it lit the plug nicely.
About this time, I started getting the feeling that Somebody was trying to tell me something, and I was considering taking the plane home and trying some other day. Luckily, on the way up to the field, I'd been listening to a song by my favorite metal group, Dokken, which was titled "Stick to Your Guns" (...don't give up, stick to your guns!), so I decided not to let circumstances defeat me. I got the motor running, adjusted the carburetor for high speed and idle, and proceeded to taxi out for takeoff. A nice smooth takeoff roll and the plane was in the air! It flew really well, but as mentioned above, I had to concentrate more on flying it than the naturally stable trainer. I had to leave the field after that one flight, but now I'm really fired up to do more flying and progress to another level. Thanks to all of you for the ideas and suggestions, and thanks also to Don Dokken for the encouragement.

Located on UNH's West Campus, the Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Lab boasts state-of-the-art technology. Completed in the summer of 2008, the building's new addition has doubled the Center's space and increased opportunities for collaboration. Facilities include an acoustic and waveform test tank, labs and highbays, and a host of research vessels for field research.
UNH also recently completed construction on a new marine pier at Fort Point in New Castle, NH. This facility provides berthing for UNH research vessels and access to the sea environment, including the Ferdinand R. Hassler, NOAA's new ocean mapping SWATH vessel.
