Checkers & Rally's restaurants were born out of the idea that a bland and flavorless burger was downright bad and that Americans everywhere deserved a better tasting burger — one that was unexpectedly bold, made-to-order and priced at a value that was hard to beat. Founded by experienced foodies with a renegade spirit, both the Checkers & Rally's unique double drive-thru concept, with its over-the-top checkerboard squares, chrome styling, red neon signs and of course the food, was an instant hit. These two new burger experiences were hot, fresh and served with a smile. People were hooked, and the world of cookie cutter corporate burger establishments was about to change.
- Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. burst onto the burger scene with their over-the-top flavors in 1986 in Mobile, Alabama.
- Rally's Hamburgers, Inc. first fired up the grill and started cooking in 1985 in Louisville, Kentucky.
After successfully opening and maintaining 200+ restaurant chain businesses in several Midwestern and Southeastern states, in 1999 Checkers & Rally's would bring their passion for big flavor together. This successful merger would make Checkers & Rally's the largest double drive thru restaurant chain in the country. Which in turn would only help bolster both the Checkers & Rally's brands on all fronts. Today Checkers & Rally's have more than 800 restaurants open in the United States. And with the hard working, can-do attitude that every Checkers & Rally's employee and franchisee brings to work with them every day, we're only certain to grow even more.... more

Top Sewing Tips
How To
Sewing Solutions
TOP SEWING Tips
from Sandra Betzina
Pattern Preservation
Preserve favorite patterns by pressing them onto fusible pellon interfacing or waxed paper. Place interfacing sticky side up or waxed paper shiny side up on a pressing surface. Place the pattern wrong side down over the interfacing or waxed paper. Using a dry iron on a medium setting, press the pattern to the interfacing or waxed paper, working from the middle out. Don't press too close to the pattern outer edges. Trim away the excess interfacing or waxed paper along the pattern cutting line. Secure the pattern edges by pressing around the perimeter of the pattern.
Pop, Go the Stitches
Prevent popped stitches in pull-on pants and skirts with the following method. When sewing down elasticized casings on knits, use hand-wrapped woolly nylon thread in the bobbin and all-purpose thread on the top. Set the machine for a narrow zigzag stitch (1.0 mm wide, 2.5 mm long). Stretch the casing slightly from front and back as you stitch.
Storage Solution
Pattern storage has been made easier with the availability of two-gallon plastic zip-top bags. Tape the front and back of the pattern envelope to the inside of the bag. Because the bags are so large, minimum pattern folding is necessary.
Read the Label
Difficulty locating the pattern you want among your stash?
After storing patterns in two-gallon plastic bags, label legal folders with the pattern number. Locate the pattern you want quickly by referring to a master sheet, which you create with the pattern number, brief description and a quick sketch. You can even add a fabric swatch to make identification even faster.
Watch & Sew
Get a 9" portable DVD player for your sewing room. Not only can you take advantage of instructional DVDs, but you can also watch movies as you sew for long periods of time.
Bag Lady
Want to use up some of the fabric in your stash? Cut a 2" square from each piece in your stash. On the fabric wrong side, write the fabric width and amount on blue painter's tape. Throw the scraps in a zip-top bag. Reorganize the fabric on shelves by color or by type, such as knit, pant or skirt woolen, cotton, rayon, stretch woven, silk, coating, sheer, etc. Take the bag of swatches with you when shopping for fabric, patterns and accessories.
Size Matters
Working with multisize patterns can be confusing unless you're careful because dots are labeled with a size that's on a different cutting line than your pattern size. Dot markings are L" in from the cutting line. Once you've identified the cutting line for your size, count out the number of lines away from the center to make sure you're using the same size throughout. Use a highlighter to trace over your size cutting line. Draw on your pattern alterations in a different color. Mark the dot markings for your size and with the second color pen.
Tape Tactics
When cutting out a pattern piece, write the name of each pattern piece on blue painter's tape and place it on the fabric wrong side. Painter's tape has a nonstick surface, which can be written on easily. The tape adheres to the fabric-it won't slide off like a label-and it doesn't leave a residue when removed.
Fur Facts
When stitching long hair faux fur, use L" seam allowances and a long stitch (4.0 mm). After stitching, obscure the seam by pulling hairs out with a knitting needle from the fabric right side. On the seam allowances, shave the fur close with an electric shaver. Hold the seam allowances open and flat against the fabric backing with Wonder Tape or an overcast stitch, catching only the backing in the stitch.
Marking Darts
For a quick way to mark a dart, make clips at the end of the dart legs and make a chalk mark or a tailor's tack only at the dart point. When sewing darts, never backstitch on the ends because backstitching creates bulk. Instead, slightly shorten the stitch length; sew the last H" and run off the ends. It's not necessary to tie the threads when using a small stitch.
It's a Stretch
When sewing on knits, prevent popped seams by stretching the fabric slightly from front and back when sewing the seams on a conventional machine, using a 75/11 HS needle and a narrow zigzag (1.0 mm wide, 2.5 mm long). Follow this by serging the seam allowances together, trimming off G" as you serge.

When Anne-Marie,* the president and CEO of a start-up medical device company in Philadelphia, first began thinking of having a child on her own, she was 37 and her biological clock was ticking loudly.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
As much as she wanted to be in a great, loving relationship with a partner, she wanted a baby even more. "If I turned 50 and didn't have children," she says, "I'd be pretty devastated."
So after about a year of weighing her options and considering what it would be like to be a mother on her own, she did something a growing number of single women are doing: She chose an anonymous donor through a sperm bank and started her attempts to get pregnant, using drugs to encourage the growth of egg-producing follicles.
For seven months, Anne-Marie, now 42, did monthly inseminations, stopping for a year after she began, and then ended, a relationship. When she resumed her efforts, and after a total of 13 tries, she conceived her first son, Pierre, born in November 2002.
Birth of a movement
Experts who follow single parenthood say more women than ever are choosing to get pregnant on their own, or adopt a child without a partner. But there are few hard numbers to point to.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that preliminary birth data for 2003 show a 4 percent jump from 2002 in the number of births to unmarried women; nearly 35 percent of births in 2003 were to unmarried women. But that number includes women whose partner may be in the picture as well as women who go it alone.
Children's Hope International, an international adoption agency, notes that nearly 13 percent of their adoptions are by singles.
And in the 24 years since starting Single Mothers by Choice (SMC), Jane Mattes, a psychotherapist and author of "Single Mothers by Choice: A Guidebook for Single Women Who Are Considering or Have Chosen Motherhood" (Three Rivers Press, 1994), says she's seen tremendous growth in numbers. She started with eight members and now has more than 2000.
So what's driving this trend? It comes as no surprise to hear that much comes down to timing. "The majority of women who become single moms by choice did want to get married," says Mattes. "The reasons why they make this choice haven't changed: They want to have children and if they're not married or they've divorced they want to have them before it's too late."
For many women, the much-mocked biological clock may seem to wind down all too quickly, especially for those who are enjoying a wonderful time in their lives with good friends, a nice home and interesting, well-compensated work. Then they realize they have little time left — and sometimes none — for having children.
"I think a lot of the reason there are more single women becoming pregnant on their own is because of careers," says Anne-Marie. "I went to a big-name undergrad school and a big-name grad school, I traveled a lot, I worked overseas. It's hard to meet somebody, if you didn't want to date someone from work. All of a sudden you're 37, 38 and you think 'I should have prioritized this more.' But you're just doing what you enjoy."
After her own wake-up call, Anne-Marie put on what she calls "the full-court press."
"I joined a dating service and for six, nine, 12 months, I was dating more than I ever had," she says. "Nothing came out of it, which is no surprise because with every man it was like, are you marriageable? Do you want kids?"
Mattes, who is arguably the midwife to this movement, says she has seen big changes in both the perception of single motherhood by choice and the choices women are making about how to create their families.
"The biggest change is that people know about it," says Mattes. "It's not such a shock when someone says they had a baby alone; people always seem to know someone now.'"
*Anne-Marie did not want her last name used to protect the privacy of her children. "This is as much (if not more so) my sons' story as mine," she says. "When they are older and can decide how much they want to tell people, whatever I've already said cannot be taken away."
Women pursuing parenthood without a partner have also become something of an economic force, Mattes notes. "We are a big consumer base of the sperm banks. They're advertising in [the SMC] newsletter; I think they're looking at our growth — and we don't represent half of the number of women who are doing this."
In 1998, California Cryobank, the biggest sperm bank in the United States, had about 60 percent couples and 40 percent singles as clients. Today, that figure is reversed: About 60 percent of their customers are single women and/or lesbians. Xytex, a bank based in Atlanta, sees a similar trend. "At least 50 percent, and probably closer to 75 percent of our patients, are single women, meaning unmarried, whether heterosexual or homosexual," says Sheridan Rivers, a supervisor of customer service and sales at Xytex.
Women's — and, arguably, society's — comfort level with single motherhood has come so far that more single moms are having a second child with donor insemination or adoption than in years past. "One child was the norm for the first 10 to 15 years [of SMC]," says Mattes. "Now it's very common to have more than one. They say, 'If I had one child, I can have two.' It's much more normalized." In March, Anne-Marie gave birth to her second son, Henri.
More women who've hit a roadblock to motherhood owing to infertility are turning to adoption. Adam Pertman, executive director of the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and author of "Adoption Nation: How the Adoption Revolution is Transforming America" (Basic Books, 2001), says current trends include more single African-American women adopting children from foster care and more single women adopting a child of a different race or ethnicity, or an older child.
Difficult choices
Single motherhood by choice may be a sizeable and still-growing trend, but it is the result of a series of personal and often very painful decisions made by every woman who considers it.
When she was about 30, Holly Vanderhaar decided that if she hadn't met the man she thought would be her husband by 35, she'd start thinking about going it alone to become a mother. "I thought I had to meet someone — or go into a potentially bad marriage for the sake of having kids," says the Mesa, Ariz.-based mother. "I said to myself, there is another option and that took the pressure off me for a while and I put it on the back burner." (Mattes notes that more older women and younger women are coming into SMC as members. "We used to see a lot between 35 and 40. Now we see more women in their mid-40s and late 20s. Some people are very clear that they don't want to wait until their fertility might be at risk.")
At 35, with no husband material is sight, Vanderhaar began eight months of treatment for a fibroid and an ovarian cyst so she could start trying to get pregnant; her first insemination, using donor sperm, took place two months before she turned 36. "It took five tries and I got pregnant on my only unmedicated cycle," says Vanderhaar. "It was twins — identical."
At 15 weeks of pregnancy, she found how she had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, a rare, high-risk condition that required Vanderhaar to fly to Florida for surgery — but not before making the excruciating choice about whether to continue the pregnancy. "It was really, really hard to hear the news and be by myself and feel this huge, incredible responsibility and not have anyone to share the decision with," she recalls. Fortunately, the surgery went very well and daughters Sian and Sophie were born in April 2003.
In weighing the pros and cons of having a baby alone, a woman naturally looks at traditional families, in part to see what she would miss out on as a single mother. Some women "grieve the dream," says Mattes. "The majority of women who become single moms by choice did want to get married."
But others who opt to go this route don't think they're missing much. "With a lot of the relationships I see with my friends, you have a couple of kids and a husband you need to manage — it's a lot of work to have a great marriage," says Anne-Marie. "Am I working harder as a single mom than a married mom? I don't think so. In some ways, I'm working less hard because I don't have another adult to work around and manage. In some ways it's simpler."
It takes a village
For women considering getting pregnant and raising a child on their own, single moms have one piece of advice that rises above all others: "You need a support system," says Mattes. "When you're married it's built in — you have him and his parents — but when we're alone, we have to create it."
Anne-Marie moved to New Jersey to be near her parents; her neighborhood also includes two other single moms by choice.
Vanderhaar also moved towns in the Phoenix area to be closer to her mother and sister. "They're so much help to me on a day-to-day basis," she says.
Local SMC chapters can be a boon in finding other single moms, as well as women who are thinking about single motherhood or trying to get pregnant.
"You can do this single, but you really cannot do it alone," Mattes says. "Without a support system, it's 10, 20 times as hard."

Lithuania is the southernmost of the Baltic states.
The Jews of Lithuania had their own distinct and highly developed Jewish culture, including a special dialect of the Yiddish language. Lithuanian Jewry played a profound role in many Jewish ideologies, including the Jewish workers' movement, Zionism, and rational religious thought. Before World War II, the Lithuanian Jewish population was some 160,000, about 7 percent of the total population.
Lithuania was an independent country from the end of World War I until 1940. On January 16, 1939, Lithuania and Germany signed a nonaggression pact. Nevertheless, in March of that year Germany annexed the Lithuanian territory of Memel-Klaipeda, a region with an ethnic German majority. The Soviet Union occupied Lithuania in June 1940 and annexed the country in August 1940. By 1941, the Jewish population of Lithuania swelled by an influx of refugees from German-occupied Poland to reach about 250,000, or 10 percent of the population.
In June and July 1941, following the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Germans occupied Lithuania. During the German occupation, Lithuania was incorporated into the Reich Commissariat Ostland (Reichskommissariat Ostland), a German civilian administration covering the Baltic states and western Belorussia.
The Lithuanians carried out violent riots against the Jews both shortly before and immediately after the arrival of German forces. In June and July 1941, detachments of German Einsatzgruppen together with Lithuanian auxiliaries, began murdering the Jews of Lithuania. By the end of August 1941, most Jews in rural Lithuania had been shot. By November 1941, the Germans also massacred most of the Jews who had been concentrated in ghettos in the larger cities. The surviving 40,000 Jews were concentrated in the Vilna, Kovno, Siauliai, and Svencionys ghettos, and in various labor camps in Lithuania. Living conditions were miserable, with severe food shortages, outbreaks of disease, and overcrowding
In 1943, the Germans destroyed the Vilna and Svencionys ghettos, and converted the Kovno and Siauliai ghettos into concentration camps. Some 15,000 Lithuanian Jews were deported to labor camps in Latvia and Estonia. About 5,000 Jews were deported to killing centers in German-occupied Poland, where they were murdered. Shortly before withdrawing from Lithuania in the fall of 1944, the Germans deported about 10,000 Jews from Kovno and Siauliai to concentration camps in Germany.
Soviet troops reoccupied Lithuania in the summer of 1944. In the previous three years, the Germans had murdered about 90 percent of Lithuanian Jews, one of the highest victim rates in Europe.

NEW YORK -- The Major League Baseball Players Association today released the following statement regarding today's ruling by independent arbitrator Fredric Horowitz in the Alex Rodriguez grievance hearing:
"The MLBPA believes that every player has the right under our arbitration process to directly confront his accuser. We argued strenuously to the Arbitrator in Alex's case that the Commissioner should be required to appear and testify. While we respectfully disagree with the Arbitrator's ruling, we will abide by it as we continue to vigorously challenge Alex's suspension within the context of this hearing."

Boeing shares lost $5.01, or 4.7 per cent, to $101.87. At its peak, the selling knocked off $7.89 a share, or $6 billion of market value. The stock recovered slightly as speculation about the cause of the fire shifted away from the batteries.
The cause of the fire on the Ethiopian Airlines plane — which broke out more than 8 hours after it had landed in London — remained under investigation. The location of the fire led some experts to surmise it wasn't the planes lithium-ion batteries.
Meanwhile, an unspecified mechanical issue caused another 787 flown by Thomson Airways to return to Manchester Airport, adding to concerns about the plane.
Runways at Heathrow were shut down for nearly an hour as emergency crews put out the fire. No passengers were on the plane.
The 787, which Boeing dubs the Dreamliner, was grounded in January following two incidents with its lithium-ion batteries. One 787 caught fire shortly after it landed at Boston's Logan International Airport on Jan. 7.
Boeing marketed the plane to airlines as a revolutionary jet which — thanks to its lightweight design — burns 20 per cent less fuel to comparable aircraft. Boeing, based in Chicago, has delivered 66 of the planes to customers with another 864 of them on order.
Boeing's stock partially rebounded after photos were circulated showing the section of the plane damaged by the fire — an area far away from the battery compartment.
The photos show the rear roof of the plane burned, near the jet's vertical stabilizer, often called the tail.
The batteries are located in two separate compartments under the floor of the plane. One is near the wings; the other under the cockpit. Friday's fire wasn't near either of those areas.
"Evidence thus far suggests that the battery was not the cause of the fire at Heathrow," Jason Gursky, an aerospace analyst with Citi told investors. "The images out of London are not consistent with the fire at Boston Logan, which prompted the grounding earlier this year."
He added that "aircraft are complex animals such that a fire could come from many places." He added that this incident could highlight a new problem with the 787, causing further problems for Boeing.
The unanswered questions kept the company's stock sharply lower throughout the afternoon. Friday's loss ultimately shaved $3.8 billion from Boeing's market capitalization.
Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said in an email that the company had personnel on the ground at Heathrow and that the company "is working to fully understand and address" the situation.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that they were sending representatives to London to assist British authorities with their investigation of the fire.
"The headline nature of these (events) has become far too routine," said aviation consultant Robert Mann. "The airplane has to start proving itself in service, doing what it was designed to do."
There were also few details about the severity of the Thomson Airways incident. The jet had taken off from Manchester, England headed to an airport in Sanford, Fla., near Orlando. The airline said it had returned to Manchester "as a precautionary measure." All 291 passengers disembarked safely and engineers inspected the aircraft, the airline said.
Airplanes routinely return to the airport for minor technical problems. United Airlines recently had several minor problems with oil leaks on the 787, forcing emergency landings. The maintenance issues, which often also happen on other jets, received extra scrutiny because of the 787's problems.
The 787 is one of the most innovative commercial aircraft in the skies today.
Half of its structure is made of plastics reinforced with carbon fiber, a composite material that is both lighter and stronger than aluminum. In another first, the plane relies on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to start its auxiliary power unit, which provides power on the ground or if the main engines quit.
Problems with those batteries ultimately led to the grounding in January of the 50 Dreamliners flying at the time.
First, a battery ignited on a Japan Airlines 787 shortly after it landed at Boston's Logan International Airport on Jan. 7. Passengers had already left the plane, but it took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze.
Problems also popped up on other planes. There were fuel and oil leaks, a cracked cockpit window and a computer glitch that erroneously indicated a brake problem.
Then a 787 flown by Japan's All Nippon Airways made an emergency landing after pilots were alerted to battery problems and detected a burning smell. Both Japanese airlines grounded their Dreamliner fleets. The FAA, which just days earlier insisted that the plane was safe, did the same with U.S. planes on January 16.
It was the first time the FAA had grounded a whole fleet of planes since 1979, when it ordered the DC-10 out of the sky following a series of fatal crashes.
The FAA eventually approved a plan by Boeing to better insulate the battery's eight cells and the addition of a new containment and venting system. Once the changes were made, planes started to fly again.
Ethiopian Airlines was the first airline to resume using the 787, with a flight on April 27 from Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa to Nairobi, Kenya, after the battery incidents.
The registration number of the plane at Heathrow — ET-AOP — is the same as the aircraft used in the April 27 flight. Randy Tinseth, vice-president of marketing for Boeing's commercial unit, was on that initial flight and said at the time that the flight "left on time, landed early and was truly perfect."
Friday's fire led many to initially question if that solution was not enough.
"For Boeing's sake, I hope it's not the batteries," said Mary Schiavo, former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation. "There was a lot of criticism that the FAA didn't fully understand the battery issues when they certified the batteries. People got over that, and they kind of thought that was behind them."
If this is a battery-caused fire, she said, "It puts the FAA in a very bad spot."
Associated Press writers Raphael Satter, Sylvia Hui and James Brooks in London, David Koenig in Dallas and Joan Lowy in Washington contributed to this report.

"Read like an Iolani Palace Docent"
http://www.hawaiibookblog.com/?p=3383 blog post dated 23 July 2010, a list of books required if you would like to be a docent at Iolani Palace. Many of the books I listed above are on this list. I could give tours, but it's a long commute!
It's almost a given that we will soon be making another trip to Hawaii to continue to research the connections to my family tree. Here are some things I need to look at the next time around:
1.) Nathaniel Bright Emerson- He was the son of Reverend Emerson of the Queen Lili'uokalani Church in Haleiwa, and was a physician and author in Honolulu. Corinne Chun, the curator of Washington Place has several of his writings, and is investigating the connection between John Dominis and Nathaniel B. Emerson.
2.) Visit the Mission Houses Museum in Honolulu, and research some of the other Boston and Massachusetts families who lived in 19th century Hawaii. Many of these women socialized with Mrs. Mary Dominis.
3.) I have not even begun to look at all the correspondence in the Hawaii archives. There are many more boxes of information on the Dominis family, and Lili'uokalani's own papers and photographs.
4.) Ditto for the archives at the Bishop Museum library.
5.) Have some time to stroll around the Oahu cemetery. It's like a page out of history reading the names on the gravestones. Right next door to the Dominis family plot was the Damon family of Holden, Massachusetts. This is the town where I grew up, at the same Congregational Church that sent Reverend Damon. I went to Sunday school there, and was married at the same church!
6.) Friends of Captain John Dominis and Governor John Owen Dominis were from Boston. I have copied some correspondence from Captain Charles Brewer of Jamaica Plain to Mrs. Dominis. There are many other letters, and these folks might end up being cousins or just friends.
7.) Who are Reverend Andrew Yates and his wife? They were guardians to the two Dominis daughters, who were left behind in Schenectady to attend a finishing school. Were they relatives of the Jones or Lambert family?
8.) Reconnect with the cousins I just met in Hawaii, and learn more about the family members living in present day Hawaii.
In the meantime, I can look at this end for Boston and Massachusetts links to some of these mysteries. It will keep me busy whilst we collect frequent flier miles all over again!

After HCC Financial Aid Office has received your FAFSA Information, the Financial Aid Office will begin to process that information to determine your aid award.
Once FAFSA information is presented to HCC, a student will receive an email stating the reception of FAFSA information and if student was chosen by the Federal government for verification. If verification is necessary, the email will detail documentation that we be needed to be submitted to Financial Aid Office.
Typically, the processing of FAFSA information after verification is complete takes 30 days.
After processing, an award notification is emailed to the student. The award notification details what aid is available. The award notification assumes a full-time enrollment status so if the students actual credit load does not meet that requirement aid will be reduced accordingly.
Understanding the Award Notification
Funds are distributed to a student's account based on certification schedule of classes. Because of the staggered start of many HCC classes, aid disbursement could possibly be distributed in lump sums over the course of the semester.
If a student receives, additional aid after the awarding process. Students are required to disclose that information to their Financial Advisor and the result may be a revision of the award.
Also, if a student withdraws from classes causing a change in enrollment status, the awards may be revised.

Trinity: Please just listen. I know why you're here. I know what you've been doing… why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer. You're looking for him. I know because I was once looking for the same thing. And when I found him, he told me I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for an answer. It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, reader, just as I did.
What is the secret to financial freedom?
If you are deeply in debt, or spending more than you earn to acquire stuff, you are living in a world that is less than what it could be. Corporations and consumer society have constructed an elaborate world that is filled with shiny things and toys and useless items. In this world, you are told that true happiness comes with the acquisition of things, that your attention should be focused on today, that tomorrow will take care of itself. In this Matrix, it's always Black Friday and it's always the Presidents' Day Sale.
Morpheus: What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.
But just maybe, while making a call on your iPhone, driving your leased car wearing your latest fall fashions on your way to the mall on your one day off from your crushing commute and your boring job, you had a sudden thought. Maybe the world isn't supposed to be like this. Maybe we weren't all meant to be shopping units in the corporate world's vast consumer Matrix. Maybe our happiness doesn't come from owning CDs, or watching American Idol, or buying a Wii. Maybe there is another world – the real world – where your work and your life are one and the same because you love them both, where you can do what you want, when you want, where you have time to give to people and experiences, not just to commuting and working for a faceless employer. No, it's not possible. Your neighbors look like they are doing fine, and they have lots of stuff, right? This is how it has to be. This is how it has always been.
Morpheus: I'm trying to free your mind. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it. There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.
Maybe you've started reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Dave Ramsey or Your Money or Your Life. Other people are trying to show you the way out. The trouble is, you set down the book and remember "I need a new belt! I want to see "Avatar" 8 times!" Only you will start the journey out of the Matrix, and it will be difficult – there will be roadblocks everywhere: pricey restaurants, bigger homes, newer cars, fancier cell phones. The Matrix will do everything it can to keep you, because its existence depends on your continued function as a shopping unit. Without shopping units to generate power, the consumer Matrix will weaken. You have to stop, today. Put down your credit card. Stay away from the store. Cook a meal at home. Turn off the TV. Try to earn income a different way.
Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?
Morpheus: You've never used them before.
When you finally leave the consumer world, you'll notice that your old behavior is now awful to consider. You'll see credit card debt, still-functioning cell phones gathering dust in cabinet drawers, barely-worn clothes in the back of the closet, half-empty rooms never used in your house. Your eyes will hurt looking at all of this STUFF that you valued so much, because you never really SAW before.
Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
The dream is the 9-to-5 world. The dream is a 3000 square foot home for a family of 4. The dream is a $400 per month car lease. The dream is an iPhone, a Wii, digital cable, the latest fashions. And the dream is a nightmare. You have to wake from that dream and realize that in the real world there is VERY little you need other than shelter, food, friends, family and basic clothing and entertainment. In the dream you have no time – but you can have all the time in the (real) world if you just wake up.
Neo: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid… afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
(with many thanks to The Matrix)
Originally posted back in 2007 or so – just thought I would run it for those who haven't read it before. I know the Matrix references are already very dated, but hopefully everyone's seen it.

The measure was announced today at a press conference in New York City. Among those in attendance were Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig; Michael Weiner, the executive director of the MLBPA; Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president for labor relations; Dan Foster, CEO of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association; and Eddie Robinson, the former All-Star Major League first baseman and the former general manager of the Atlanta Braves and the Texas Rangers.
Since the 1980 season, all Major League players have vested as members of the benefit plan after just one day of service in the Major Leagues. Prior to 1980, players secured a pension benefit only after completing at least four years of Major League service. Under this new agreement, players who retired between Jan. 1, 1947, and Jan. 1, 1980, with no retirement benefits for their Major League service will receive an annual payment of up to $10,000, jointly funded by the Commissioners Office and the MLBPA. The collective bargaining parties have committed to these payments for an initial period of two years. Payments beyond the initial period will be discussed in collective bargaining.
Commissioner Selig said, Very simply, we felt that this was the right thing to do for these former players, who contributed to our games unparalleled history. I am very pleased that we have partnered with the Players Association to take this step.
Weiner said, "Today's players appreciate the contributions made by former players to the game's success and to the union's efforts. The MLBPA has worked for many years with the Alumni Association on this effort, and we're excited to announce this significant agreement with Major League Baseball."
Foster said, Today is a day of celebration and appreciation. The payments to these former players not only acknowledge their role in the evolution of the game but also honor the men who developed the great American pastime. The MLBPAA is grateful to Major League Baseball and the Players Association for their dedication to support and assist this group of former Major Leaguers.
Robinson said, This decision is the culmination of 14 years of concerted effort by the Major League Alumni Services Board of Directors and the former Major Leaguers who have served on our pension committee over the years. The owners and current players have shown great willingness to come together and agree on important issues.
Longtime Major Leaguer Craig Counsell, a member of the Milwaukee Brewers and an representative for the MLBPA, said: As a current player, it is truly an honor to be able to take this step and help pre-1980 players. Retirement benefits were the primary concern in 1966 when the players hired Marvin Miller and the modern-day Players Association was born. Over the ensuing 45 years, every player experiences the same feeling of indebtedness to those who came before him. It is with that in mind that I personally thank everyone involved for their determination in making this happen.

CARY, N.C. – A solid defensive performance, anchored by five saves from goalkeeper Steve Cronin, helped the Portland Timbers extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches with a scoreless draw against the Carolina RailHawks at WakeMed Soccer Park on Saturday.
The Timbers opened their regular-season ending, four-game road stretch with their third consecutive shutout. Portland's backline has not allowed a goal in 334 minutes of play and has shut out five of its last six opponents.
Cronin recorded four of his saves in the first half, midfielder Rodrigo Lopez and forward Ibad Muhamadu each attempted a team-high three shots for the Timbers (11-7-9, 42 pts). Defenders Ian Joy, Stephen Keel, Ross Smith and Quavas Kirk held strong through 16 shots by Carolina (10-8-8, 38 pts).
Portland picked up a point on the road with the draw, but remains in third place in the USL Conference and fourth in the overall USSF Division-2 Pro League standings; the Timbers have already clinched a playoff berth.
The Timbers and RailHawks battled back and forth throughout the contest, with the play through the midfield setting up chances for both clubs. Portland and Carolina combined for 28 shots.
Cronin was called into action early on in the contest, making a diving stop on a low driven shot by RailHawks midfielder Josh Gardner from the left side. Forward Tom Heinemann laid the ball off to Gardner streaking down the left touch line, and Cronin's out-stretch hand pushed Gardner's shot wide of the right post and out of play in the second minute.
Lopez had a chance to break the deadlock for the Timbers in the 12th minute. Pressure on the RailHawks backline opened Lopez up for a shot from the left side 20 yards out from goal. He hammered a shot on frame that was punched away by Carolina goalkeeper Nic Platter.
Portland forward Bright Dike's hard-working effort nearly led to a strike on goal in the 21st minute. The rookie slipped between a pair of defenders and played the ball forward into space near the top of the box. Before Dike could earn the one-on-one with Platter, RailHawks defender Greg Shields tracked back and knocked the ball out of danger.
The RailHawks managed 10 shots in the first half, including a handful of efforts which sailed just over the goal. Midfielder Floyd Franks collected a free ball near the top of the arch and blasted a shot just over the bar in the 17th minute. Heinemann received a centering pass in the 36th minute and ripped a half volley just over the bar from 20 yards out.
Early in the second half, a series of corner kicks nearly helped the Timbers jump on the board, but a pair of timely reaction saves by Platter maintained the scoreless affair. From the right side, Lopez sent in a corner kick which fell at the near post for midfielder Keith Savage. His strike from inside 10 yards was turned away by the out-stretch arm of Platter as he dove to the ground.
Two corner kick attempts later, the play led to a cross by Lopez to the left side for defender Stephen Keel, who headed the ball on frame from seven yards out along the post. Platter was able to fight through the crowd to punch the ball clear in the 52nd minute.
Cronin continued his aggressive play in the second half and, coupled with the backline's steady efforts throughout the period, held Carolina to six shots. Pressure on Heinemann near the hour mark forced the striker to lift one of his six shots on the night over the goal. Cronin picked off several crosses into the box over the course of second half, ending threats from the RailHawks.
Late in the match, Kirk made a run down the right side and tried to pick out Dike on a run at the near post. Kirk's low cross was knocked over the end line by Shields in the 80th minute. Six minutes later, forward Takayuki Suzuki set up defender Mamadou Danso for a header 12 yards out. Danso's effort from near the penalty spot was collected safely by Platter.
The RailHawks nearly stole a goal in the 90th minute. From midfield, Daniel Paladini, who scored the equalizing goal in the previous match up this season between Portland and Carolina, played a well-timed ball up field for midfielder Matt Watson. On a breakaway along the right post, Watson pushed a rolling shot around the arms of a diving Cronin and wide of the far post.
The Timbers travel to the Caribbean to face the Puerto Rico Islanders on Saturday, Sept. 18, at 5:05 p.m. (Pacific). A live broadcast will be available on Newsradio 750 KXL, with a live video webcast online at www.portlandtimbers.com/live.
Notes: The last goal conceded by the Timbers was Aug. 26 in a 1-1 draw with the Austin Aztex. ... Midfielder Ryan Pore, the Timbers leading scorer, was unavailable for Saturday's match due to personal reasons. ... Lopez returned to the field following a two-game, league-imposed suspension for a red card on Aug. 26; it was his first start since July 3. ... Of the 10 games played in the all-time series between the Timbers and RailHawks, five have ended in scoreless draws.
Timbers extend unbeaten streak in 0-0 draw with Carolina

Transforming the World's Largest Cities
For centuries, cities have generated most of humankind's art, religion, culture, commerce, and technology. And while this trend is expected to continue, several challenges are emerging, including stress on aging public infrastructures, limited success of public-private partnerships, reduced budgets, and the loss of "brain power" to fast-growing suburban areas.
To revitalize the world's largest cities, City24/7—a company committed to making public communications more accessible to everyone, everywhere—in collaboration with Cisco IBSG and the City of New York, has launched an interactive platform that integrates information from open government programs, local businesses, and citizens to provide meaningful and powerful knowledge anytime, anywhere, on any device. In short, City24/7 delivers the information people need to know, where and when it helps them most.
Located at bus stops, train stations, major entryways, shopping malls, and sports facilities, City24/7 Smart Screens incorporate touch, voice, and audio technology to deliver a wide array of hyper-local (about two square city blocks) information, services, and offerings in real time. The Smart Screens can also be accessed via Wi-Fi on nearby smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers.
The overarching goals of the City24/7 Smart Screens are to inform, protect, and revitalize.
Inform. As people interact with the City24/7 Smart Screens, they can instantly connect with information that is relevant to their immediate proximity. For example, a local resident can view real-time neighborhood news, explore local events and programs, find reviews of nearby restaurants and bars, and receive offers and promotions from merchants within walking distance.
At a deeper level, City24/7 expands the reach of government and private services to meet citizens' needs. Conversely, City24/7 provides a venue for enhancing the urban experience by giving citizens a voice and platform for shaping their own communities.
Protect. City24/7 Smart Screens play an important role in improving the safety and security of people in surrounding areas. And once fully deployed, the Smart Screens give local police and fire departments a citywide sensing, communications, and response network that can direct needed personnel and resources exactly where and when they are needed.
Revitalize. By informing and protecting citizens and visitors, cities are more likely to thrive through increased levels of commerce, investment, and tourism. In addition, an informed and engaged public is more likely to improve its community. In this environment, property values increase, adding more tax revenue to government coffers. This allows cities to provide improved services that further revitalize the community.
Once the Smart Screens have reached critical mass in New York City, City24/7 will start the second phase, which includes expansion to Los Angeles and London, followed closely by other major cities in the United States and around the world. U.S. cities will include Boston, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Seattle, San Francisco, Tampa, and Washington D.C. International cities include Amsterdam, Barcelona, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, Toronto, and Vancouver.
The ultimate goal of City24/7 is to power two-way, real-time communication among city governments, businesses, and citizens, enabling Smart Cities of the future. With the help of Cisco and the City of New York, City24/7 is well on its way to transforming the world's largest cities.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Nearly two dozen coal cars that were part of a 105-car train derailed near I-70 in Junction City late Wednesday afternoon.
Union Pacific officials say 23 cars were overturned or crushed.
"This afternoon about a quarter till 5, we got the call that the train had derailed and was blocking two different crossings within Junction City. Our units responded and found that to be true and when they got to looking, they found all of these cars down here derailed. Right now, we don't know what caused the derailment but it appears that a string of cars are damaged and are either laying on their side or are completely mangled and destroyed due to the accident. The train split and the rest of the engine and the front part of the train rolled up to the East Ash crossing and stopped right there. So we have two parts of the train right now that we're dealing with and we're waiting on Union Pacific to get here to help get the investigation underway," Geary County Undersheriff Tony Wolf told 13 News at the scene Wednesday night.
"The railroad will send down an investigation team. Preliminarily right now, just in talking to the conductors and engineers on the train, they say this is something that can happen when the rails get very hot. They tend to warp and when that happens, it could cause a derailment like this. But right now that's very preliminary. They're going to have to make the determination as to what the actual cause was," Wolf added.
The derailment happened close to I-70 on the eastbound side near Exit 296 for South Washington Street in Junction City, scattering coal, debris and pieces of the train tracks throughout the accident site.
"At the bridge where I-70 goes over the tracks, the train never hit any of the bridge itself, never caused any damage. We got very lucky there that it didn't take the bridge out when it wrecked.... Union Pacific will let all of the trains know that this section of the rail system will be shut off at least until clean up and until it can be repaired but it looks like it's going to take a lot of repairs to fix this right now," Undersheriff Wolf said.
No one was injured. Crews with the Junction City Fire Department were also on the scene to check on the safety of those aboard the train. Geary County Sheriff's deputies, along with Junction City firefighters, worked to secure the site.
Mark Davis, Director of Corporate Relations and Media for Union Pacific's Northern Region, said the train en route to Memphis, Tennessee from a mine in Colorado. He told 13 News that crews worked through the night Wednesday and all day Thursday to clean-up the scene and replace 1,200 feet of damaged track. Union Pacific expects the line to be open by 2 AM Friday, June 29th.
The cause of the derailment is still under investigation, Davis said.
Damage estimates are not yet available.

This family owned business in Seattle was set into motion when Paul Carter asked his father if he could make a better turning tool. With 30 years of experience in metallurgy and engineering, his father set out to design and manufacture premium turning tools that rival the tools currently available on the market. All the Carter and Son Tools are made in the USA of M42 high speed steel that has 10% Cobalt content. A custom triple tempering process is used to achieve a hardness of 68HRC. This makes the tools hard enough for superior edge holding and tough enough to stand up to the demands of turning wet or dry wood. All the tools are hand polished and ground at the factory to an extremely sharp edge that is ready to use. Carter and Son tools are available unhandled or with their unique handle. The handles are made from solid 6061 aircraft quality aluminum and to reduce vibration.Gouges are sized by the diameter of steel used

After an hour-long discussion, Marion County Commission decided against purchasing the 2008 Van Keppel asphalt recycler that the Road and Bridge Department previously rented.
With the 2013 budget already approved, commissioners said that there was no way the county could start payments until the beginning of next year. The bid from Van Keppel was $4,432 a month over four years of payments or $3,588 a month over five years of payments. The cost to purchase the machine was about $200,000.
Commissioner Randy Dallke suggested that it might be more cost effective to spend more money on a new machine that would possibly last longer. The 2008 machine already has over 800 hours of work logged. He also said the county did not need to do anything until February before a new season of roadwork would begin. The county has a 1985 asphalt recycler. Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford was worried about the wear on the old machine.
In other business:
- Crawford said striping should begin for 40th and 60th Roads next week. It would be the last step in the county road projects from this past summer.
- A sign bid was approved from D.C. Wholesale of Concordia for $5,099 for stop signs, roadwork signs, and other signs. National Sign Company of Ottawa submitted a bid of $5,099.
- Sheriff Robert Craft said his office has been completely moved to the new jail facility this past week.

Matcha Green Tea Creme Brulee
12.09.09 by Jackie
This dessert combines two of my favorite things, crème brulée and green tea. I love the natural jade color of matcha green tea powder, along with its distinctive flavor. It's an ingredient I use a lot in desserts. Whether it's in cookies, madeleines, pound cakes, crème pâtissière or chocolate truffles, the result is always a success.
My personal favorite application for green tea powder though is crème brulée. One could probably add spinach to crème brulée and it would still taste great, but there's something special about the flavor of green tea that cuts the decadence of the dessert while enhancing its elegance.
