Welcome to Hero Shop 2.0
We are a small banh mi shop here in downtown LA's Historic Core and neighbor to Skid Row. We are opening as a "pop-up" concept, because what we are doing is experimental. Originally (hero shop 1.0), we aimed to be a "destination" banh mi shop. We sold "chef-driven" banh mi's and sold them at prices not normally associated with banh mi's. And while the sandwiches were delicious, they ignored the very spirit of what a banh mi is.
Banh mi is food for the people. Banh mi is delicious, fresh, healthy, and affordable. We wanted to reach our people this time around. By "our people" we mean the people who live and work right here, our neighbors - our community. With strategic sourcing, aggressive pricing, and understanding our neighborhood, we aim to be engaged with the people who live and work around us.
Our goal is to be able to provide a healthy, fresh, quality meal that is delicious and affordable. To our small business owners along Los Angeles Street, in the Toy District, Fashion District and Skid Row. To our professionals who have set up shop here in the Historic Core. We want to feed you a great meal at a great price.
And this time around, we do not want to overlook the most overlooked in our community. Every day when we come to work we walk right past one homeless person after another. Always faced with the dilemma of how we can avert our attention so that we may not be approached. We have wanted to help, but did not know how best to do it.
Fortunately, there are many people in our community that do know how to effectively help the homeless. We have partnered with such people at the Union Rescue Mission, because we don't want to ignore anymore. Though it may only be a small contribution, we will donate a portion of each sandwich sale to the Union Rescue Mission. Your purchase will go directly to helping the community here in the Historic Core and Skid Row.
And hopefully this time around, we can effectively reach the people right here, our neighbors. And provide something good (and good-priced) for you.
banh mi for the people...

Public helps ID West Mifflin bank robbery suspect
Updated:WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. (AP) (AP)ong> - Police said television viewers have identified a man seen on surveillance video robbing a Pittsburgh-area bank, though police have not been able to find the suspect.
West Mifflin police said the Citizen's Bank inside a Giant Eagle supermarket was robbed early Saturday afternoon. Police released surveillance video from the heist to Pittsburgh-area television stations, which were swamped with calls by people who recognized the suspect as 30-year-old Bryan Keith Rohrbaugh Jr.
According to police, Rohrbaugh handed a teller a threatening note and ran away with an unspecified amount of cash. They said he hopped into a car with two other people inside, which sped away from the scene.
Authorities said they've been unable to find Rohrbaugh since filing charges including robbery and threatening to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Jose Mourinho, the Barca scout in the 36,000 crowd, had reason to be encouraged by what he saw. Twice the Newcastle defence played set-piece statues, allowing Wimbledon players to pick off the easiest of goal-scoring headers. Then Efan Ekoku fired the third that sealed Newcastle's fate.
It was the first time the Champions' League hopefuls had been beaten at home since the last European night at St James', when Sonny Anderson scored for Monaco in March. The Brazilian will be back on Tyneside on Wednesday, as pounds 13m worth of a Barcelona squad which has been officially valued at pounds 400m. Wimbledon found their winning touch yesterday courtesy of two homegrown products, Carl Cort and Chris Perry, and Ekoku, at pounds 900,000 a rare luxury item in Joe Kinnear's low-budget brigade. "Victories don't come any sweeter than this," Wimbledon's breadline boss crowed. "It was one of the best performances since I've been at the club."
Kenny Dalglish saw it differently, and with good reason. "Without being disrespectful to Wimbledon," he said, "we contributed to our own downfall. But it won't affect the way we approach Wednesday night." The Newcastle manager warned in his programme notes: "When the first whistle blows Wimbledon are potentially as dangerous as Barcelona." But his defenders failed to recognise the imminent aerial threat when Neil Ardley clipped the ball into the Newcastle goalmouth two minutes after the opening blast of Mike Reed's whistle.
The unchallenged Cort, with just one substitute appearance behind him, could scarcely believe his good fortune as he planted a firm header past the stretching Shay Given. It was not the 19-year-old forward's first goal in senior football but it made a greater impact than the one he scored at Sincil Bank in April, on loan to a Lincoln City team beaten 3-1 by Wigan. The Toon Army was temporarily silenced.
Newcastle started without the leader of their forward line, despite having gone to elaborate lengths to ensure Faustino Asprilla was not delayed in transit from World Cup qualifying duty in Venezuela. The Colombian had been flown by private jet from Biggin Hill at lunchtime and rushed from Newcastle airport by police escort but Dalglish chose to keep his South American maverick alongside him on the bench until the final 25 minutes. Instead, Ian Rush assumed pole position up front, and the veteran Welshman and the debutant John Barnes fashioned the few half-chances Newcastle squandered before they drew level in the 31st minute.
Neil Sullivan saved Keith Gillespie's angled drive but failed to hold on to the ball. Warren Barton, salvaged from the non-league scrap-heap by Wimbledon and sold to Newcastle for pounds 4m, was quick to bite the hand that once fed, lashing in from close range. Newcastle, though, were unable to exercise their customary home stranglehold. Two minutes before the hour-mark they allowed Wimbledon to get ahead again. From Alan Kimble's corner, Perry rose unchecked to head in at the far post.
Ekoku delivered his coup de grace with quarter of an hour remaining, twisting Alessandro Pistone first left, then right before crashing a right foot shot into the roof of the Newcastle net. "I think he turned Pistone's shirt inside out," Kinnear ventured. Newcastle will be hoping to avoid a similar fate on Wednesday night.

If you read the blogging better series, you know that I am a H-U-G-E advocate of using social media to market your blog. I talk a lot about Facebook and Twitter, but it kind of begs the question: what about Instagram?
The truth about Instagram is that it is one of the fastest growing forms of social media, especially where blogging is concerned. It might seem counter-intuitive because you're using photos instead of direct links, but Instagram is really a great space to grow your audience.
If you can take a photo with a phone, you can use Instagram. To help you get started – or to take your account to the next level -- here are a few best practices to follow. At least, follow these if you are looking to grow your audience.
1. Follow other bloggers in your niche: Understanding what's trending within the niche you write about will help you to figure out what kind of photos you should start posting. Whether that means an outfit of the day for fashion bloggers, pictures of your kids doing wacky things if you're a parenting blogger, or the latest meal you had at a hot new restaurant for a foodie blogger, this will give you some context and start the photo ideas flowing.
2. Play around with the settings: Learning to use the photo settings to turn an okay photo into a really cool photo is what will get you noticed. Keep in mind that not all of your photos are going to be great, there's definitely a learning curve when it comes to using the app. But by figuring out how to adjust the settings on the photos – and finding some favorite filters for your photos – you'll become a Instagram master in no time.
3. Check out popular hashtags – and use them: Hashtags are kind of a big deal with Instagram. They're used a little more seriously on Instagram than they are on Twitter. When you're checking out the feed of the other bloggers you follow, see what kinds of tags they're using. Click on them and explore. Are you posting the same kind of photos? Use the same hashtags. It'll start growing your audience instantly.
4. Go beyond 140 characters: Once you get used to using the network, you'll start to notice that it's not like Twitter – you're not limited to 140 characters. Many people use Instagram as a sort of "mini-blog" – they really explain the photos that they use. Don't be afraid to do this, it helps people engage with you and your photos.
5. Respond to comments: Get the conversation going – and don't forget to add your hashtags! #awesome
6. Re-post to your other networks: I'm a total Instagram addict, so I don't share every single photo that I post on Facebook. But I do copy it over to my Twitter account. It's increased my engagement and my reach. I now connect with a lot of people from my Instagram account on Twitter, believe it or not. Hint: You can easily re-post to other networks when you're making the photo live on the app. It's an easy click – and you're done.
Basically, what I'm saying is you should get your cute patootie on Instagram and start sharing your favorite photos right now.
It's honestly my favorite social network – and I use a lot of my photos on my blog, too!

Mumbai, Oct 17 (UNI) The Rupee suffered a setback for the third consecutive day today by six paise and ended low at 48.88 against the US dollar as stocks tumbled by over five per cent, raising concerns abut capital outflows.
The Rupee has crashed by 82 paise in the last three days.
The Indian unit, however, resumed high at 48.70 per dollar, but later it widely fluctuated between 48.58 and 48.96 per dollar in intra day trade.
According to marketmen, the rupee was under pressure, with demand for dollars coming from oil refiners and foreign banks which bought dollars in the spot market and simultaneously sold them in the overseas non-deliverable forwards (NDF) market in an attempt to arbitrage the rate differential between the two. Offshore one-month NDF contract was quoted at 49.74/89, weaker by 1.8 per cent than the onshore spot rate.
The rupee has been under pressure, mostly because of the stock market crash. However, some large corporates were also seen selling dollars at regular intervals, said a senior trader from a private bank. At the same time, bankers expect further intervention from RBI, especially on the back of their recent liquidity injection amounting to Rs 1 lakh crore.
Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) today fixed the reference rate for US dollar at Rs 48.68 per unit, down by 18 paise, against yesterday's rate of Rs 48.86 per dollar. The reference rate for Euro increased by 19 paise at Rs 65.70 per unit from it last close of Rs 65.51 per unit, a RBI release said.
However, the six-month and annualised forward dollar premiums were higher by 0.78 (0.48) per cent and 0.63 (0.44) per cent respectively.
The Rupee today ended lower at 65.54/56 (65.84/86) per unit against the Euro. It closed at 84.50/52 (84.02/04) per unit against the Pound Sterling and at 48.38/40 9 48.22/24) per hundred units against the Japanese Yen.

Sandia and its partners are analyzing results to validate requirements and radar design.
The Critical Radar Arming and Fuzing Test (CRAFT) was the first flight test of a prototype radar for the W88 ALT 370. It also represented a milestone: the first flight test unit Sandia and its partners, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), the Kansas City Plant (KCP) and Pantex, delivered to the Navy for full-scale testing under the program.
The new radar functioned as expected after launch on a Trident II missile from a Navy submarine, Edwards said.
A month later, the first drop test of the W88 ALT 370 program mimicked a crane accidentally dropping the re-entry body onto a concrete surface to develop evidence that it would remain safe during an accident. It also will use the information to validate computer models designed to apply the results to other drop scenarios, since it's not possible to replicate every possible accident in tests.
The two successful tests, which were conducted this summer, provide data for the program, the W88 ALT 370 (alteration), to move forward, said Tim Edwards, manager for the program's technical basis and qualification activities.
"The weapon is not required to function after that, just to stay safe," Edwards said.
Sandia National Laboratories performed a drop test for the W88 ALT 370 program, designed to replicate a crane accidentally dropping the re-entry body onto a concrete surface. CRAFT demonstrated how the radar performed during re-entry through plasma generated by the hypersonic speeds at which the warhead travels.
. An abnormal environment is one that is unexpected, such as an accident.
The June CRAFT test was the first of several planned flight tests to demonstrate the upgraded system's performance. Using an unarmed re-entry body, Sandia conducted the test in partnership with LANL, KCP and Pantex at Sandia's 185-foot Drop Tower Facility, using the same handling gear a crane would use to move the weapon, making the test as realistic as possible.
Sandia will use vibration and shock measurements from the test to update specifications for components in the weapon, he said. The test was conducted at Sandia's 185-foot Drop Tower Facility, using the same handling gear a crane would use to move the weapon.
The first flight and drop tests for the latest variant of the W88 nuclear warhead are providing data for Sandia National Laboratories to validate designs, improve computer modeling and update component specifications.

U believe UArseA CNN news? Hollywood movies depicting angmoh are heroes save the world? Who in the world want to destroy own country?
Chinese are clever people and sustainability is their virtual to make things last including take care of environment.
Believe Hollywood angmoh is like they say pigs can fly and u lanlan agree.
So, we have established that:
(a) the workers not abused, but granted an additional option in life which they gladly took; and
(b) the workers did not lose out on anything by the local government granting certain concessions to attract EUPA in the same way that EDB in Sinkieland would have done in its heyday.
Now, with regards to your point about the managers:
(1) Taiwanese and PRC managers both appeared in the video, what makes you think I am only talking about the PRC managers?
(2) Taiwanese are not Chinese? Those Taiwanese managers looked to you like they just emerged from an aboriginal reserve in Alishan?
(3) Workers' attitude is a reflection of leadership? Partly but not necessarily. I have also had a lot of subordinates (especially millennial Sinkies and Hongkies) who will blame their higher ups for everything including their own fucked up attitude. It is very easy way to soothe their own ego after having been scolded for making the same typo for the umpteenth time. A leader cannot undo bad family upbringing or habits acquired through an act blur culture from cradle until just before join company.
(4) There is no need to delineate so clearly between managers and leaders. Managers learn leadership skills while managing. Sinkies can't learn from the Taiwanese, but don't assume that PRC can't learn (and improve upon) from Chinese who had originally migrated to Taiwan from the mainland.
Aiyoh, sua ku Sinkies, prease wake up your ideas okay:
Chinese electrical appliance manufacturer Midea's move to acquire Kuka, the German robot maker, could be a defining moment in the evolution of China's manufacturing sector. China's reliance on low-cost, labour-intensive manufacturing to power its immense economy is no longer attractive, mainly due to the rise in labour and other costs. The world's second-largest economy needs to seek alternative ways to grow and companies like Midea are showing the way.
Midea was founded in 1968 by He Xiangjian as a small township enterprise. Leading a group of residents in Beijiao, Guangdong province, He raised 5,000 yuan (HK$5,834) to establish a bottle lid production workshop. Midea has since transformed into a global player pushing the technology and innovation frontier.
It currently owns some of China's top home appliance brands and its total group revenue globally in 2015 was over US$21 billion. Its rise epitomises the thriving Chinese innovational and entrepreneurial spirit that emerged after the economic reforms spearheaded by late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping (鄧小平).
For a long time, China's manufacturers were branded copycats (shanzhai). Even though there are still plenty of shanzhai companies around, many more established companies like Midea are transforming themselves into market leaders and disruptors through innovation, evolution, experimentation and a closer connection with consumers. Midea's latest acquisition target marks its foray into Industry 4.0.
So why is a maker of fridges and air conditioners interested in state-of-the-art industrial robotics? The heart of the matter can be found in two key phrases, "Industry 4.0" and "Made in China 2025".
"Industry 4.0" refers to the concept of fully automated production facilities that require minimal human involvement. This fourth stage of the industrial revolution represents the convergence of the internet of things and the control of cyber-physical systems.
"Made in China 2025" is an initiative by the Chinese government to drive manufacturing innovation, strengthen the industrial base and promote breakthroughs in key industrial sectors, with the ultimate goal of enhancing international competitiveness and improving the image of Chinese brands. It is one of the most prominent concepts in China's 13th five-year plan.
China's latest strategic plan not only involves acquiring foreign companies, but also embracing the principles of Industry 4.0. This was seen in the 2014 Sino-German Cooperation Action Plan under the theme "Design Innovation Together". This plan facilitates bilateral cooperation where both countries commit to improving collaboration in areas such as mobile internet, the internet of things, cloud computing and big data, along with policy and regulatory support.
Industry 4.0 envisions a future with shortened model and upgrade cycles, and a higher degree of personalisation. For a white goods maker, it means being able to adapt quickly to changing consumer needs while reducing production overheads, costs and the capability to offer solutions based on consumers' exact needs.
Haier is a good example of a company that has already begun its foray into Industry 4.0 territory. Its latest "Connected Factory Programme" allows it to mass produce personalised products instead of the traditional large-scale factory that only produces one type of product per cycle. Thanks to this new factory model, Haier's customers will be able to order tailor-made products such as air conditioners that filter out methanol.
While China has traditionally enjoyed low labour costs with a comparatively higher labour-to-production ratio, its workforce of young, cheap labour has become scarce. Facing these new demographic changes, Industry 4.0 stands to shift China's industry to more automated and labour-light practices. Fang Hongbo, Midea's chairman, said this was a major motivating factor for their offer for Kuka.
Many regard most industries in China as still operating in the "Industry 2.0" era – a more traditional mass production assembly line system. For these manufacturers, directly diving into Industry 4.0 would be an incredibly difficult leap due to the cost of replacing and upgrading their plants and infrastructure.
This is where Kuka comes into play for Midea. By investing in Kuka, which is heavily focused on digitising its industrial manufacturing solutions, Midea stands to directly benefit from Kuka's Industry 4.0 expertise and its vast foreign network. Kuka can provide vital technologies to help Midea build up its Industry 4.0 strategy and production lines, while Midea will assist Kuka with its expansion plan and growth strategy in China.
The acquisition would be a turning point that might very well help Midea become part of China's very own Industry 4.0 vanguard. Other Chinese firms that have recently acquired German companies with Industry 4.0 capabilities include ChemChina (machinery maker KraussMaffei ), Shanghai Electric Group (hi-tech equipment manufacturer Manz) and Shang Gong Group (knitting machine maker H. Stoll).
This trend in acquiring robotics and automation technologies should bring increased efficiency and production to China's manufacturing. It will also help drive down costs for Chinese companies and assist in reaching their goals of transforming into Industry 4.0 enterprises.
Chinese manufacturers have come a long way from being shanzhai companies, and are now increasingly technology-driven and innovative. Judging from recent developments, it looks like their time has come.
Not many Chinese manufacturers may get there, but some will, and as I've always said: "A small percentage of a large number can still be significant." And, those who do "make it" will serve as role models for many more to come.

To some naive Sinkies who think that robotic automation is the panacea to all manufacturers, think again. I have worked, installed and programmed with FANUC AUTOMATION (FA) robots before. Robotics are only suitable for repetitive high volume productions where the same products are being made for at least a few years. It may take up to a month or more to retool and test a new production line in case of a change to its product range, depending on its complexity. For low and mid volume manufacturing, it is on the contrary, more disruptive.
Also, robotic automation is detrimental to the labor force. For a country like Tiongland, where the main objective is to provide even more jobs to the hundreds of millions of workers, it is definitely not an ideal choice, at least not in the next few decades. Robotic automation is most practical for countries with limited manpower and a shrinking labor force, such as Japan. It is definitely not suitable for Tiongland where there are still, abundant of workers hungry for jobs. Otherwise, EUPA would have not set up in Xiamen to take full advantage of the cheap and readily available workforce being offered by the Chinks.

In the name of The PAP we will always trust. Only ungrateful and betraying Sinkies will detest The PAP. I will always be grateful to The PAP for continuously screwing the Sinkies 24/7 without having me to even lift a finger myself.

To all the Sinkie alibabas in this forum, Toyota wasn't built in a day and started with cartoon looking Corollas and now got Lexus:
Chinese consumers are dividing American car brands into two categories: Winners and losers.
Premium American cars are thriving in China where driving a prestigious brand dramatically lifts your social status. Sales are humming, based on data from the China Association of Automotive Manufacturers and company reports:
Brand Sales Jan-May 2016 Growth 2016/2015
Buick 470,000 29%
Cadillac 46,000 35%
Tesla 1,600 66%
Jeep 58,000 68%
Lincoln 8,100 116%
But "value for money" American cars are coming under pressure.
Brand Sales Jan-May 2016 Growth 2016/2015
Chevrolet 176,000 -33%
Fiat 8,250 -46%
Chrysler* 1,740 +13% (tiny base)
What's behind the diverging performances? Chinese automakers are closing the perceived quality gap GPS +0.13% with mass-market foreign nameplates. This is a crucial new development. During my first 25 years in China everyone at the office understood that the guy who bought a Chinese brand car did so only because he could not afford a foreign one. "Oh, Engineer Li just bought a Chery QQ. Money must be tight."
Such stigmas are fading fast. Chinese automakers like Great Wall, Geely and Roewe are vastly improving interiors and overall fit and finish. Technology is up-to-date, too:
Geely Boyue owners can sync with Apple Car Play and give voice commands to get directions to the nearest gas station.
Changan Automotive engineers guided their autonomous vehicle over 1,200 miles of highway to Beijing earlier this year.
Shanghai Automotive in July joined with Alibaba in launching the Roewe RX5, a highly advanced connected car that runs Internet services on Alibaba's YunOS operating system.
Car buyers now feel that some Chinese manufacturers offer products that are competitive with foreign brands, but at a lower price. (It's not just the Americans who are feeling the heat: Hyundai , Citroen and Kia sales are also down).
Chinese brands are at their best when making SUVs, China's fastest growing segment. Chinese will outnumber foreign brand SUV sales this year for the first time ever. SUVs now account for 35% of all passenger vehicle sales.
Who are the leading Chinese makes? Chongqing-based state enterprise Changan Automobile is on track for more than 1 million sales this year. Number two is Great Wall Motors, an SUV specialist projected to achieve 900,000. Third best among Chinese brands is the Hong-Kong listed Geely Automobile, chasing 600,000 sales in 2016. (Geely also owns the resurgent Volvo Cars).
Chinese brands also lead in electric car sales. Warren Buffett-invested BYD (Build Your Dreams) is out in front in this hot segment, where sales are expected to double to 600,000 this year. Samsung invested $449 million into BYD during the third week of July, joining Buffet and Bill Gates as high profile global shareholders.
You might be wondering about Ford, arguably the quintessential value-for-money brand. After several consecutive years of record sales, deliveries in 2016 are flattish, up just 2 percent.
Distinctive niche products like muscular Mustangs and F-150 Raptors can help. But that's not going to be enough. Ford must also offer breakthroughs in mobility services and connectivity. An opportunity for Ford Smart Mobility to define its mission?
Thriving in China remains a top priority for executives at GM, Ford and FCA. China vehicle sales this year will approach 24 million, compared to 17 million in the United States. Detroit must be thrilled to see strong and profitable growth from prestige brands like Jeep, Buick, and Lincoln. And they no doubt feel increasingly unsettled about the rest of their portfolios.
Looking at China's other industries gives us an ominous picture of the future for the automotive mass market. Chinese brands, once ridiculed as also-rans, today utterly dominate the TV, computer, cell phone, motorcycle, and home appliance markets in the People's Republic.
Middling American car brands are under attack. Their vulnerability might help explain, in part, why American automakers' share prices refuse to sparkle despite record profits.
Chinese consumers passion for brands should not be mistaken for brand loyalty. They're moving on.
I purposely choose a Mandarin video to make these Sinkies alibabas feel inferior:
yeah right. tiong automakers resort to copying american and euro autos wholesale to bring knockoffs at a lower price to sell.
6.9 k's of sinkies: kopi, kaya toast, kueh kueh, kio kway, ktv, kpkb.
1) no need to do domestic chores yourself or worry about what type of maid/butler/chaffeur you invite into your personal space to ruin your life;
2) when personal equipment like hands and legs go with age, exo-skeleton (a form of attached robotics) will ensure mobility and power even better than the original personal equipment.
For society, it will also be good, nursing homes will be staffed by robots who will wash your aged parent's soiled backside with no complains and no danger of being so frustrated with a dead job that she will take it out on your helpless aged parent. No need for Pinoise or Sinkie (even worse right) nursing staff - think about it!
Your comments about the limits of robotics' capabilities in the industrial automation space applies to technology as of today. Improvements will no doubt be made to overcome all those limitations. Who would have thought of 3D printing years ago and yet today it is a reality. Think ahead not behind.
The Tiongs are thinking ahead to when their labour force will be shrinking. In time to come, they will face the same problem as Japan.
All the stubborn and rude waiters, coolies, etc presently in developed countries can rot in Africa for all I care. Their being replaced by robots will for one thing imply that they will not be able to afford smartphones and reduce their productivity at work with it while increasing the nuisance factor in public places. Heil Robots!

How many stock manipulation scams happened in the UArseA before they instituted the SEC? Besides Jay Gould, John F Kennedy's father was also a world crass stock market manipulator.
In 1919, Kennedy joined the prominent stock brokerage firm of Hayden, Stone & Co. where he became an expert in dealing in the unregulated stock market of the day, engaging in tactics that were later labeled insider trading and market manipulation. He happened to be on the corner of Wall and Broad Streets at the moment of the Wall Street bombing on September 16, 1920, and was thrown to the ground by the force of the blast.[23] In 1923, he left Hayden and set up his own investment company. Kennedy subsequently became a multi-millionaire during the bull market of the 1920s, and even more wealthy as a result of taking "short" positions in 1929.
David Kennedy, author of Freedom From Fear, describes the Wall Street of the Kennedy era:
[It] was a strikingly information-starved environment. Many firms whose securities were publicly traded published no regular reports or issued reports whose data were so arbitrarily selected and capriciously audited as to be worse than useless. It was this circumstance that had conferred such awesome power on a handful of investment bankers like J. P. Morgan, because they commanded a virtual monopoly of the information necessary for making sound financial decisions. Especially in the secondary markets, where reliable information was all but impossible for the average investor to come by, opportunities abounded for insider manipulation and wildcat speculation.

5 reasons you hate/love the Obamacare decision (King v. Burwell)
What a week last week turned out to be at the Supreme Court! It certainly was exciting and unlike last year there wasn't just one big case, like Hobby Lobby, that got so much attention. There were several big opinions that got the public's attention over the last week, but one in particular has come up a lot this week.
Odds are you heard bits and pieces of the decisions, but it wasn't exactly a light week for current events so you may have some gaps in the details. There's also a very good chance you're going to a holiday party this weekend where family or friends will gather and try ever so hard to avoid the cardinal sin of holiday gatherings – political discussions. They're unavoidable and they always seem to happen whether you want them to or not. Rather than squirm or awkwardly walk away from the table when the inevitable happens, be ready and poised for that moment when someone says, "Did you hear about that healthcare decision?"
Such a question is not totally inappropriate. Given how recently the Court finished the term with not only controversial and timely cases, but also a spectacular array of passionate majority opinions, thundering dissents, and even one cantankerous concurrence read from the bench, it's no surprise the subject could come up. Lots of folks fall back on current events as discussion starters at holiday parties when no one knows what else to talk about. Listen, we're here to encourage you to resist the urge to flee either because you don't feel confident enough to hold the conversation or you're worried your politics may differ from the person engaging the discussion. It's gonna be ok. Continue reading

Not Our Best Cruise or Worst Cruise
Sail Date: January 22, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
I spoke to many repeat cruisers who took this same cruise every year and everyone agreed that things had gone downhill on this cruise! I was a first-timer so I was glad to hear that many people agreed with me that the food was okay but nothing special; too many unbehaved child on board (staff should have spoken to parents about their unruly children and put a stop to it right away). Lounge singers were very good, especially Dana and the Prism group. Most shows were quite good. I will never do this line again as everything on the Princess ships are so much better even if it's a little more money!

She tried to answer but could only beg, "Just a minute, please."
One counselor asked her to get on her knees during a therapy session, Robison said, and "beg his pardon for whatever I had done."
As word spread about what Robinson was doing at Grambling, young players wrote him to beg for a chance.
As Timm put it: "We shouldn't have to beg for companies to respect our privacy."
But I beg you, my children, my team, my fans, my partners, I beg for your forgiveness.
We may have to ride for our lives; so I managed to beg a feed of mealies apiece for them.
Then, let me beg these ladies to wear their masks, a moment.
In the event of his doing so, I should beg him to come direct to our house.
Come, I beg your pardon that I overheard you, and yet it shall not need.
Otherwise we would not have been obliged to put in here and beg you for food and lodging.
c.1200, perhaps from Old English bedecian "to beg," from Proto-Germanic *beth-; or possibly from Anglo-French begger, from Old French begart (see beggar). The Old English word for "beg" was wædlian, from wædl "poverty." Of trained dogs, 1816.
As a courteous mode of asking (beg pardon, etc.), first attested c.1600. To beg the question translates Latin petitio principii, and means "to assume something that hasn't been proven as a basis of one's argument," thus "asking" one's opponent to give something unearned, though more of the nature of taking it for granted without warrant.

Indian summer: cottage rentals during the autumn shift
Where did the term come from: Indian summer? And why has it become so popular in cottage rentals? Often referred to as the "dog days of summer", an Indian summer typically starts in September and can last from a month to two months. It is abnormally high temperatures and very dry conditions, which make boating, fishing, and swimming much more appealing in cottage country during the fall months. There are so many less motorists on the highways, less bugs to contend with, less competition to get to the nicer areas of the province, and in most cases, pricing also drops considerably as the demand in the season shifts, just like the weather should.
Many regular cottage renters absolutely LOVE the fall for renting. Putting aside the obvious in better pricing, the colours are absolutely breathtaking. Some of the most incredible view points and photographs you will ever see and capture happen during September and October. The leaves, the skies, the water ways, conjointly blend into a kaleidoscope labyrinth. I cannot begin to put into words what the eye can see during fall cottage renting. Wondrous and majestic are just the beginning.
The nights are definitely cooler than the hot and humid days you will experience. And your fall cottage rental will make campfires and cottage wood burning fireplaces and woodstoves that much more appealing for cozy nights. The variance in temperature between night and day, is literally "NIGHT AND DAY" by comparison. So you get the "full cottage life" experience in the fall months, which so many city-dwellers truly look for in their cottage rental.
And if you are a golden year senior, and are looking to bypass all the extreme heat and extreme traffic, take some time and pursue a 5 day Monday- Friday cottage rental in late September. The experience will be so much better for your patience, and your cheque book. Costing does drop considerably as the demand drops as well. Many owners are thinking of shutting down operations and can afford to take less in the fall months. Often you do so more and more, seniors opting for fall weather conditions for cottage rentals, simply because the pricing is so much better.
Ultimately, one of the best features of all in fall renting is the benefit of fewer cars on the roads and less crowds in all the tourist spots. Line-ups are shorter and in some cases don't happen any longer. You always need reservations, kids are back in school, lakes are a lot quieter, heavy motors are put away…etc. Less is definitely more when it comes to a fall cottage rental. Give it a try, and you may find yourself repeating next year!

i am trying to find out if any of the meds I am currently taking can cause sexual problems. I am taking Prilosec, Allegra and Nasonex.
Dr. Owens at Sexualhealth.com: Drugs used to treat gastric ulcers and reflux esophagitis may have negative sexual side effects, including erectile difficulties. However, Prilosec is listed as one of the better alternative drugs to take. With respect to your allergy medications, sexual side effects may become noticeable with chronic use. A good resource of information on drug effects is the book Sexual Pharmacology. Drugs That Affect Sexual Function by Crenshaw & Goldberg.
I've got high blood pressure. Most of the medication that my doctor has prescribed keeps me from having proper erections. Right now, I've been on Ismelin (guanethidine) for a long time. Are there any lifestyle changes I can make so I can have a proper sex life with my partner?
Dr. Owens at Sexualhealth.com: Erections are caused by increased blood flow to the penis. Medications against high blood pressure act by lowering the blood pressure in the entire body, also affecting the blood supply to the penis. Therefore it often becomes difficult for men taking this type of medication to achieve the increased blood flow necessary for having proper erections.
A good resource book for various medications' sexual side effects is Sexual Pharmacology. Drugs That Affect Sexual Function by Crenshaw & Goldberg (1996). Sexual side effects of guanethidine include impaired erectile function. Preferable alternatives are prazosin or similar alpha1blockers, calcium blockers and ACE inhibitors. I would suggest discussing these options with your physician, if you have not yet tried any of those medications. Do not change your current medication or dose without your doctors consent!
The most important lifestyle changes for you would be to try to reduce your blood pressure through dietary changes (less sodium intake), weight loss, exercise and stress reduction in order to be less dependent on medication. However, you may already have exhausted these possibilities since it is usually recommended that you attempt a reduction in blood pressure through such measures at the beginning of treatment.

Cre8ing Your Personal Brand
There are three keys to creating a unique and memorable personal brand.
- Passion + Purpose.
- Creativity + Photography.
- Execution + Consistency.
Passion + Purpose
Chances are if you are seeking to create a personal brand for yourself, your passion and purpose has evolved. When creating your brand think clearly about what you want to portray. Consider how you want your target audience to view you (most likely as an expert in your field). With that, ensure that your passion flows freely when communicating your brand to the world. We want to know the real you, nothing phony or fake.
Creativity + Photography.
Your brand is your bread and butter, it's the center of your earth. You must display it creatively. By enlisting a team of professional photographers, designers, marketers and PR experts you are investing in yourself and your purpose. Please do not put out fuzzy or inappropriate photographs with yourself as the subject. The image that you present to the world will be the very presence that is felt by your clients, consumers, family and friends. Ensure that your image represents you fully for what you wish to convey. Professional photos can make you or break your branding efforts. If within your brand you market or sell a product, ensure that those products are also photographed professionally for marketing purposes.
Execution + Consistency.
Execution of a strategy and a marketing plan is critical. My motto is, "if you stop marketing, they stop watching." Therefore, ensure that you are constantly nourishing and caring for your brand. Create a marketing strategy and execute it. Hire a team of professionals that will help elevate your mission and your movement to the next level. Be unique, be memorable, be helpful to the consumer, interact and network. Most of all be consistent in the creative output of your brand and ensure that your messaging is clear. be.you!

Financial Advisor Robert Russell Offers Three Ways To Prepare For a Tragedy
Everyone of us at some level has dealt with the loss of a loved one, or has watched someone deal with a long term disability. With these unpleasant realities, planning should be well developed, to avoid having a poor plan or no plan at all.
Financial Advisor Robert Russell explains how you can proactively protect your family in the case of a sudden tragedy.
Dayton, OH - September **, 2012 – Each and everyone of us at some level has dealt with the tragic loss of a loved one, or has watched a person we care about deal with the pain and suffering of a long term disability. Death is inevitable and (according to studies by AARP, Met Life and GE Financial) disability affects one in two Americans over the age of 65 on a long-term basis. With these unpleasant realities so certain, estate and disability planning in America should be well designed and well developed, enabling families to avoid the hardship associated with having a poor plan or no plan at all.
Robert Russell, President of Russell & Company, recently discussed three things that every American over the age of 65 should be considering about their estate and disability planning:
1. Lawyers can create great legal estate planning documents, but if your assets are not "funded" into the trusts - or if you have documents that are poorly defined in a disability situation, you can end up with a very IN-effective plan. Here are some significant problems to look out for:
• If you have a trust and none of your accounts are tied to it, the trust will not help your estate avoid probate. A well-prepared legal document can help your family avoid the cost of probate, (AARP reports average probate costs annually are 3-5%) but if your bank and investment accounts are not held in the name of your trust, it will not help.
• It is also important to make sure your real estate is tied through newly created deeds to transfer the property into the trust.
2. Long-term care can wipe you out financially. Newly enforced Filial Responsibility laws may end up costing your kids their savings to pay your nursing home bill. This may be hard to believe, but that is the new reality of healthcare. With home health care aides costing $15-30 per hour and Assisted living facilities costing from $4,000 to $8,000 per month in many parts of the country, nursing homes can cost well over $100,000 per year. Developing a long-term care plan is critical. There are a variety of ways to use leverage with specific financial products to help you protect your hard earned retirement savings beyond traditional long term care insurance. Being proactive and planning for these future tragedies can spare your loved ones the stress of trying to "figure it out."
3. Divide and BE CONQUERED. All too often financial advisors rely just on financial solutions to solve a client's long-term care risk. Likewise, lawyers look to their legal documents to solve the problem. The best advice is to seek out a "team approach". A well-prepared financial plan addressing death and disability, designed in tandem with coordinated and well-drafted legal documents, will yield you the very best results. Two professionals working "independently"

Call it a sign of the times, but nearly one out of five people surveyed about why they avoided buying a car from a particular maker cited fear that the brand go off into the land of Studebaker, Oldsmobile and Kaiser. In other words, disappear.
Fear of a brand's death was No. 4 in the list of concerns among "avoiders," the people who bought similar vehicles instead of some other, J.D. Power and Associates finds. Brands they cited most often?:
Chrysler, Dodge, Hummer, Pontiac and Saturn were the most-oft named brands that buyers said they avoided because of worries about the nameplates' futures, says Kerri Wise, Power's director of auto research.
The results are based on answers from people who bought new vehicles in May and June and were surveyed by Power in August -- amid the concern over whether General Motors and Chrysler could emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and survive.
A hefty 43% of shoppers say unattractive styling is the biggest reason they avoid a car or truck that they might otherwise consider. Other reasons included cost (26%), perceived unreliability (21%) and then fear that a brand is going out of business (18%). That question was a nod to the evaporating auto industry, which has seen brands like Pontiac and Saturn about to take their final bow.

The fight for control of Warrnambool Cheese and Butter has intensified after major shareholder Murray Goulburn lobbed an offer the group's way. The move ensures there's a three-way race for the Victorian dairy firm, but could a fourth, or even fifth, player emerge and take the prize? Meanwhile, Woolworths scraps its bid for a major presence in Hong Kong, the Nine Entertainment float shapes up as the biggest on the ASX since 2010, RHG commits to a suitor again and James Packer looks longingly toward Sri Lanka.

One of our most active committees is the Scheduling Structures Committee. This committee was tasked with examining the strengths and weaknesses of our current schedule of eight periods per day/four marking periods per year. After having the opportunity to examine research on highly effective schools, conduct visits to multiple high-achieving high schools, and review stakeholder survey data, it became clear that the eight-period day was no longer providing optimum support for our students or for the learning that is expected in a 21st-century high school.
One of the solutions that we investigated is the Trimester Scheduling model. Trimester schedules divide the year into three parts, with students taking fewer courses at one time than in a traditional semester schedule. As noted by National Association of Secondary School Principals in their book Breaking Ranks II: Strategies for Leading High School Reform, the trimester schedule has multiple benefits over the traditional eight-period day, including the following opportunities: increased depth of study and higher quality work; the ability for students to focus on fewer courses at one time; offering a greater variety of courses over the course of a year; increased opportunity to complete AP coursework before beginning the college applications process; and credit recovery options that are built into the school year.
This fall, following a period of intense and thorough research, site visitations, and consultation with experts and stakeholders, the Scheduling Structures committee crafted a new DAHS Course Guide that presents current and new courses within a trimester scheduling framework. Today we are pleased to announce that the DASD School Board has unanimously approved the 2016-2017 DAHS Course Guide. The School Board's approval of the 2016-2017 DAHS Course Guide has paved the way for the implementation of the trimester scheduling model in the 2016-2017 school year.Over the next few years we will be closely monitoring student achievement and utilizing research, stakeholder input, and evidence-based practice to further shape our implementation of the new scheduling model into a structure that better inspires and creates pathways for the present and future success of all Dallastown Area High School students. It is an exciting time to be a Wildcat! For details about the 2016-2017 Course Guide, Trimester Scheduling, and the HS Redesign process, please explore the wealth of information provided on this website.


text: Hello! I'm thinking about buying XenForo but there's one thing I haven't been able to find on the forum or on google. I need the ability to create user upgrades, which XenForo supports natively, and from what I can see after hours of googling is that it uses it's own IPN to work out the PayPal transactions. I need the above feature to stay intact but I also need to use an extra IPN for a Minecraft plugin that operates on another database. Since XenForo uses it's own PayPal form with the: HTML: <input type="hidden" name="custom" value="{$visitor.user_id},{$upgrade.user_upgrade_id},token,{$visitor.csrf_token_page}" /> I cannot use the value from that input form. My other IPN needs to fetch the input above with the value="mc_account" from a custom field that the user has to type in at registration. To the point: a) Is it possible to somehow include the other IPN but "cut away" the default value XenForo uses in its name="custom" input tag and replace it with the value from a custom field? Then send this information to the other IPN. b) Or could you just edit the code to instead say: HTML: <input type="text" name="custom" value="Enter Minecraft IGN" /> (i.e use another value than XenForo uses by default.) Right now I'm using a phpBB forum that uses option b). I certainly hope either a) or b) can be done because I really want to buy XenForo, and my server is completely funded by donations so it is crucial that a feature like this could be used. Very sorry for the overcomplicated and long explanation!

New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) India today said any action that might harm the ongoing efforts for an early resolution of the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region and for promoting the unity and territorial integrity of the African nation, may have undesirable consequences.
The message, referring to the warrant of arrest by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Sudan's President Omar Hassan Ahmad Al-Bashir, was conveyed to the country's Minister of Finance and National Economy, Dr Awad Ahmed Al-Jaz, who concluded his three-day visit to India today.
The ICC has charged the Sudanese President with war crimes and genocide in Darfur and issued an arrest warrant against him in July.
President Omar has been asked to show progress on several fronts, including speeding up the deployment of Darfur peace-keepers, improving humanitarian conditions and starting a credible peace process.
Only the UN Security Council can ask the ICC to suspend its prosecution.
The African Union (AU), the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) and the Arab League have called for suspending the arrest warrant for 12 months.
Dr Awad Ahmed Al-Jaz, who arrived in India on October 28 as the Special Envoy of the Sudanese President, called on External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee yesterday.
During the meeting, the visiting Minister handed over a letter from the President of Sudan, addressed to the Prime Minister.
The two Ministers discussed a wide range of issues of mutual interest and reviewed bilateral relations. Both sides expressed satisfaction at the excellent bilateral relations and outlined further steps to enhance cooperation.
The External Affairs Minister underlined India's continuing commitment to the unity and territorial integrity of Sudan.
Regarding the ICC warrant, it was highlighted that India is neither a signatory to nor has it ratified the instrument stablishing the ICC.
''India hopes that any action that might detract from ongoing efforts to reach an early resolution of conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan and aimed also at promoting the unity and territorial integrity of Sudan, may have undesirable consequences,'' a statement by the External Affairs Ministry said.
The External Affairs Minister also expressed concern over Indian nationals, Biplab Biswas and Chinna Rao Karni, technicians who remain missing in Sudan, and sought conclusive information regarding their well-being.
Four Indian oil workers and their Sudanese driver were abducted in May at Heglig, adjoining Abyei, whose status remains disputed following a 2005 peace accord that ended a 21-year civil war.
During the visit, the Sudanese Special Envoy also met Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram and Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Murli Deora.
Minister of State for External Affairs, E Ahamed hosted a dinner in honour of the visiting dignitary.
The Darfur conflict began in early 2003 when ethnic African rebels took up arms against Sudan's Arab-dominated central government, accusing it of discrimination. The fighting has killed up to 300,000 people and forced 2.5 million to flee.
Sudan has urged India to speak to the internatinal community and the NAM to help disseminate correct information about the situation in Darfur.


text: Dear all, I have installed a Windows 7 Prof. 64bit (Build 7600) on my PC (Asus P7P55D mainboard), I have tried 2 USB Wifi network adapter (ASUS USB-13N and LevelOne WUA-0615), and both have the same problem. Everything works fine except the wifi network adapter keeps "Disabled" even I have installed the driver successfully. I think the drivers were installed properly as the ASUS one said it supports on Win7 64bit and somebody said the Level1 one should work on Win7 64bit, too. Once plugged to the PC, they show no "!" sign in Device Manager but in the "Control Panel"->"Network and Internet"->"Network Connections", the wifi USB keeps on "Disabled". Even I tried to "Enable" it, the device kept disabled. A strange thing is, if I tried to unplug it, the windows shows "Not connected". How can I solve this? I think it should be a software problem rather than a hardware one. Thanks.
