Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Voices.com Opened the Door
By Trisha Beausaert
January 6, 2014
A thumbs-up or star feedback from a client is such a feel-good. After all, we perform to a silent fourth wall bereft of the audience response on which stage actors thrive.
Voices.com evidently attracts the caliber of directors who understand that, and who take the trouble. For me, 2013 closed with a fun gig from Stephfan Nurse, all done and dusted ahead of New Year's Day, and supported by quality script and direction. The project was followed up with a nice note, to boot.
When asked 'How to start in voiceover' I say it's competitive, but you have to stick at it. You build your craft and your strengths, hold on to the passion, and you break in. For me, the key to breaking in was Voices.com, because even with some acting and radio experience, it proved hard to gain traction here in Britain. Voices.com's inspirational podcasts that feature stars like Scott Brick, Marc Cashman, Terry Daniel, Pat Fraley, Dan Lenard, Debbie Munro, and Bettye Zoller helped get the ball rolling for me.
Thanks to the confidence they gave me, and the sense of welcome from Voices.com, my very first gig was at a level that covered the year's fee and a better mic.
I'm working it in the photo, on a cross-Atlantic live session with director J.D. Freedman.
Best wishes and thanks to Voices.com for such varied bookings, an effective interface, and great backup.British voice actor, voice acting, voice over artist

Foreign 'mercenaries'
Usual rubbish from a Spurs #$%$Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Delbert, I hope you don't mind me continuing your list; Wilshere, Freeman, Randall, Simpson, Frimpong, Chuks and Gibbs. I am sure someone else could easily add another half dozen english gooners to these two lists.
Tottenham jealousy me thinks.
Our youth team, reserves, and loan players are packed full of talented Brits and players from abroad. Who makes it into the first team is down to the players.
We rarely buy ready made British players due to the inflated prices.

And tell me, you #$%$ supporting keyboard warriors- how many #$%$nal players are in the England squad? One. Wallnutt. How many Spurs players? Three. Defoe, Lennon and Crouch.
Jealous? Of what? So what if we have English players who go out to drink (which does NOT include Defoe as your blinkered fans keep suggesting) Fibreglass has stated he would jump at the chance to leave #$%$nal to play for a bigger club: mercenary. You have English youngsters maybe, but you are an *English* club, with an *English* academy. Barely any you have listed will make it because the kiddy-fiddler likes the foreigners too much.

- To Steve Neuhaus for finding his own way to make casinos pay upfront. The new county executive has been busy proclaiming the advantages of a casino in Orange County. In the short time that he has been in office, Neuhaus managed to solicit $9,000 in donations from a major casino company and a real estate firm active in three of the bids for a license. This was one of the fears of those who worried about the influence of casinos in the state, the idea that these firms would use their assets to get close to politicians and with the enormous amount of money at their disposal buy advantages that no local people or firms could afford.

text: %%%% Do NOT list personal stories here.%%* Many companies are so heavily associated with some of their more famous products that they are actually confused with them. ** Many people incorrectly refereed to Apple Inc. as "Macintosh" or "Mac". A lot of people are also calling Apple Stores "Mac Stores".** Another famous example is the Mercedes-Benz. The name of the company which manufactures it is Daimler. Naturally, they don't make Daimler cars, Jaguar does: Daimler was originally a Daimler-Benz brand, but due to a contract mistake accidentally handed the right to the name over to a licensee.** Franchise/{{Barbie}} is often referred to as a company, rather than just a product made by Creator/{{Mattel}}.** Many years ago the paint manufacturer Berger ran a campaign in the UK to try to raise awareness of its own name rather than that of its various paint brands.** Of further note are several companies that, while they did not originally share their names with their better-known brand names, have changed their names to avoid confusion. Convenience-store chain 7-Eleven's corporate presence was known as Southland Corporation until 1999, and fast food chain Jack in the Box was incorporated under the name Foodmaker until the same year.*** With 7-Eleven it's a bit more complicated. To make long story short, the company just went bankrupt and was bought out by its Japanese partner, Seven & I. Holdings.*** In the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, a Burger King wanted to open up. As Lake Forest is a fairly wealthy suburb, Burger King approached the city under the name of the corporate owners. When the Burger King went up, the city protested as they didn't want a fast food place, but had already signed off on the restaurant.*** Here's a particularly fun one: the UK division of Mars, the maker of the eponymous candy bar, changed their name to Masterfoods in 2001, to try to distance their non-candy brands from that of the well-known chocolate bar. Then five years later, they changed their name ''back'' to Mars because the new name wasn't as memorable.*** The American division took the same name in 2005, but changed back at the same time as the UK division; everyone, even the business media, just kept calling them "M&M Mars" anyways, while almost nobody knows they make Pedigree and Whiskas pet foods. Besides, Mars is a family business--wholly owned by the Mars family. ** The Haloid Corporation changed its name to Xerox. That machine you use and the paper you get out of it are a copier and a copy, respectively, not a xerox. It was not originally correct to use 'xerox' as a verb to mean the act of copying, but it had become quite common.** Binney & Smith changed their name to Crayola LLC in 2007.** An episode of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' asked which company made the Bold 9000 smartphone. The correct company was not "[=BlackBerry=]" as they said it was, but rather Canadian firm "Research in Motion". The company later [[http://ca.blackberry.com/company.html renamed themselves]] to "[=BlackBerry=]" on January 30, 2013.** Sun Microsystems Inc. switched their Nasdaq stock symbol from SUNW to JAVA in 2007, after their popular programming language. Sun originally started out selling only hardware. The company merged with Oracle Corp. in 2010.** Software makers regularly do this. "Avast Software", maker of the popular antivirus, was once called "Alwil Software". "Diskeeper Corporation" started out as "Executive Software".** The owner of Target stores was called the Dayton Hudson Corporation (and before that the Dayton Dry Goods Company) until August 2000, when it was renamed the Target Corporation.** Not even products are safe from this. In several cases, people tend to use the trademarked name of a well known product as a catch-all name for the same product made by other companies. For example, no matter who makes petroleum jelly, people will likely call it "Vaseline". The same goes for adhesive bandages, which are almost exclusively called "Band-Aids". And that generic box of toasted whole grain oat cereal that looks like Cheerios, but definitely isn't called that? Doesn't matter. ''They're still Cheerios!'' The term is referred to as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark generic trademark]].** Back in the late 70's and early 80's, you didn't play Video Games, you played Atari - regardless if you had a Colecovision or Intellivision.*** From the mid-80s to the early 21st century, the same went for Nintendo. It didn't help that for most of the NES's life span, Nintendo refused to call it a video game console due to fear of a repeat of the 1983 crash.** Once upon a time, Pentax cameras (named for the roof pentaprism viewfinder they used) were produced and sold by Asahi Optical Company, Ltd, as one of several lines of cameras the company sold. They proved so popular that the company renamed themselves Pentax. Additionally, the cameras' popularity caused the lens mount they used, the M42 lens mount, to be known as the "Pentax Screwmount" in the US. Similarly, the same lensmount was known in Japan as the "Praktika thread mount", after a brand of East German cameras that used them. The lensmount in question was actually designed and first used by VEB Zeiss Ikon[[note]]based at the time in Soviet-occupied Germany, before they changed their name to Pentacon under pressure from Zeiss Ikon, a similarly named firm in the US Zone of Occupied Germany. Germany copyrights were presumably a complicated issue in the early Cold War years.[[/note]] for the Contax S, the first camera to use the roof pentaprism viewfinders that Pentax would take its name from.** The company that brews Fat Tire isn't called "The Fat Tire Brewing Company", it's "The '''New Belgium''' Brewing Company". The company actually makes several beers that don't even have "Fat Tire" in the name, but New Belgium Fat Tire is the only one of their beers that most people have heard of.* The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels is actually called 'The Manifesto of the Communist Party'. Marx and Engels did not invent communism and never claimed to have done. The manifesto is no more a reference point for what communism is than the US Democratic Party Platform is a reference for what democracy is. * There was never a party in Russia called the Bolshevik Party. The party was called the Social Democratic Labour Party, and contained two factions, nicknamed Bolsheviks and Mensheviks (Russian for 'majority' and 'minority' respectively). These names reflect neither the composition of the party (normally the two groups were of roughly equal size) nor the respective factions' political opinions (if anything the opposite - the Mensheviks favoured a mass movement, while the Bolsheviks preferred a small movement of professional revolutionaries). The names came from the origin of the split, which had been a vote on party membership policy which the Bolsheviks narrowly won.* Maximilien Robespierre's rule over France between 1793 and 1794 is generally referred to as 'The Terror'. Most people assume this was the name given to it by terrified ordinary people who were at risk of being executed by Robespierre. Actually it was the name Robespierre and his government themselves gave to their policies, and the people who they were supposed to be terrorising were not ordinary French people, but the foreign armies fighting against France.* Strictly speaking, Big Ben is the name of the bell that strikes the hour in the Elizabeth Tower[[labelnote:*]]Renamed from the "Clock Tower" in 2012, partly to honour Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ's sixtieth year on the throne and partly to put and end to the confusion over what the tower is called.[[/labelnote]], rather than the clock itself or its clock tower.** Double example here, since most people who know the tower isn't called Big Ben persist in correcting people who get it wrong by informing them it's actually called St. Stephen's Tower. It isn't. St Stephen's Tower is a small tower at the main entrance to the Palace of Westminster (called St. Stephen's entrance), but the error is so widespread most tourist information websites still get it wrong. The tower which contains Big Ben was simply called the Clock Tower. [[http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/06/26/uk-britain-bigben-queen-idUKBRE85P0O220120626 As of the Diamond Jubilee]], said tower shall be called "Elizabeth Tower" after [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Queen Elizabeth II]].** Creator/DavidMitchell on ''Radio/TheUnbelievableTruth'': "You're standing at the bottom of Big Ben--you know what I mean by Big Ben and everyone will write in and say it's not called Big Ben, the tower with the clock in that makes the bongy noise!"* The founder of "Wendy's" was Dave Thomas. "Wendy" refers to his daughter [[note]]extra example here in that her name is actually Melinda. Wendy is her nickname[[/note]], who was ''mentioned'' often in commercials by Thomas, but didn't actually start appearing in the commercials until 2011 - at about the same time as a [[SexSells cute red-headed twenty-something]] in braids ''also'' started to appear as "Wendy" [[note]]yet another example here in that the character's actual name is "Red", not Wendy[[/note]] in other commercials. Then there is the ''cartoon'' Wendy: the ''PippiLongstocking'' type who appears on the logo, and eventually became an animated mascot much like Ronald [=McDonald=]. Very confusing.** Same with Mercedes, which is called after the daughter of one of the employees of Daimler-Benz.* Carl's Jr, to some extent. Its founder's name was Carl Karcher, but his dad's name was Leo. Karcher initially opened a restaurant called Carl's Drive-In Barbecue, then a smaller version that he called Carl's Jr. The latter ended up becoming the MorePopularSpinoff. * While there is a town of that name in the Zone of Alienation, ''Chernobyl'' refers to the district in which the nuclear disaster took place. The power plant is located in Pripyat, 15 km from the town of Chernobyl.** Incidentally, the official name of the power plant wasn't Chernobyl, it was the Vladimir I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station.* Not many people know that Paul Frank's famous monkey character is actually called Julius. Others actually think he shares his creator's name.* Also "for the record", "Christ" is the Greek-derived word for "anointed" (how you show someone is a king, prophet or [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot both]]). The Aramaic[=/=]Hebrew-sourced version being, of course "[[MessianicArchetype Messiah]]". In either case, "Christ" is '''''NOT''''' Jesus' last name. He probably didn't have one--most people at the time either didn't need one, or if they did it wasn't fixed: he'd just be '...the carpenter' '...from Nazareth', '...the preacher', depending on the circumstances.** To help illustrate this, many times in Paul's letters, he refers to "Christ Jesus", which is not a typo.** Similarly, "Santa" is not Santa Claus's first name.* The authors of many older Jewish theological books, such as ''Ḥazon Ish'' or ''Ben Ish Ḥai'', are commonly referred to by the name of their works, even though their real names are known. This is roughly equivalent to knowing Herman Melville as "Moby Dick".* In United States space travel, Apollo refers to the name of the program, not the rocket (either Saturn IB or Saturn V, depending on the mission), or the spacecraft itself (after the first two missions, each Command Module and Lunar Module had its own name).* Kimberley-Clark is known as "the Kleenex company" despite having several other very successful products like Huggies diapers and Cottonelle toilet paper.* A cockney is traditionally born within the sound of Bow Bells. Many people, even a lot of Londoners if they were honest, think this refers to the district of Bow deep in the old East End. In fact Bow Bells refers to the church of St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside, right in the heart of the financial district. Given the amount of traffic and building work in the area one would have to be born on the pavement outside to be within earshot. One American guide book had a good stab at the truth, insisting that Bow Bells were not in fact in Bow but in Aldgate. At least it was partly right.* The University of Wisconsin actually refers to thirteen campuses in cities scattered all across the state. The school that most know as "Wisconsin" and whose athletic teams play in the Big Ten is actually the University of Wisconsin-Madison.** This tends to cause frustration for students and alumni from the other UW schools such as UW-Stevens Point (UWSP) or UW-Whitewater (UWW) when applying for jobs out of state who often end having to explain the naming convention. This is particularly a problem for UW-Milwaukee which also shares the UWM initials with Madison (although the Madison campus is usually referred to only as UW with no qualifiers). This has led some to casually refer to the university as "University of Milwaukee" in the hope of avoiding confusion.** The State University of New York (SUNY) system is similar. Particularly irritating is confusion between the State University of New York at Buffalo (usually shortened to University at Buffalo) and the State University of New York College at Buffalo (better known as Buffalo State College). But few people would say that they graduated from SUNY, only that they graduated from a SUNY school.* The host of ''Series/TheDailyShow'' is not "John Daily" or "Jon Daily". His name is Jon Stewart. The show he hosts is named as such because it is shown ''daily'' Monday through Thursday. (And if that really ''were'' his name, it would more likely be spelled "Daley.")** Has anyone ever actually gotten this confused? I've never heard of that. Though I have heard plenty refer to the show itself as ''Jon Stewart'', as if it's named after its host.** At least professionally. He was born Jon Stewart Leibowitz. (He legally changed his name in the 2000s.)* During the Second World War, American soldiers came across railroad stations with a large sign stating simply, "HALT," and mistook this for the name of the town. In reality, "halt" in German means "stop," and the signs were put there so that people would not attempt to trespass. By the end of the war, there were several instances of towns named Halt across the country.** Funny, as "halt" is also a perfectly common English synonym for "stop" (English and German are related languages, both being West Germanic languages, so this is not an example of a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_cognate false cognate]]).*** The English word "halt" isn't an inherited cognate from Proto-Germanic via Anglo-Saxon, but rather a direct borrowing from German. The former does exist however, that would be the word hold.** Also, foreigners driving on German motorways often believe at first that "Ausfahrt" is a town's name.* And then there's the [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7899171.stm story]] of Ireland's worst driver, the mysterious Polish serial-speedster and parking offender Mr. Prawo Jazdy. The Irish police stopped and fined him on numerous occasions, but he constantly managed to evade justice by giving the police a different address every time. Eventually, after more than 50 incidents involving the elusive Prawo Jazdy, someone in the police-force asked their colleagues a somewhat embarrassing question: ''What is the Polish word for "Driver's License"?''* In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris on the ''Charlie Hebdo'' paper and the [=#JeSuisCharlie=] campaign that followed it, many had a misconception that Charlie Hebdo is the name of one of the victims, or the editor of the paper. There is no person named as such, "Hebdo" is simply short for the French word "hebdomadaire" meaning "weekly", and the "Charlie" comes from an older comics magazine created by the original publishers, which was sort of a double reference to both Charlie Brown of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' and then French President UsefulNotes/CharlesDeGaulle.* An interesting example is "Ruby Ridge", what the site of the famous 1992 standoff in Idaho between Randy Weaver and federal agents is commonly referred to, most believe it refers to a town or site named Ruby Ridge. In fact no place was ever referred to as such prior to the incident. The incident occurred at a previously unnamed location that sat between Ruby Creek and Caribou Ridge. "Ruby Ridge" was a media coined portmanteau that eventually caught on.* Jokingly invoked by Creator/NormMacDonald in one of his appearances on ''Series/LateNight'' with Creator/ConanOBrien. He talks about having a stimulating conversation with a complete stranger who he met on a recent airplane flight, and learning several interesting facts along the way. One fact was that the spaceship from ''Series/StarTrek'' was actually called "The ''Enterprise''"; [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} before that, he had always assumed that it was called "The]] ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Star Trek]]''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ."]]* The developers of AVG were known as Grisoft until they changed their name to AVG Technologies in 2008.%%%% Do NOT list personal stories here.%%----

Short Report
Coccidioidomycosis results from inhaling spores of the fungus Coccidioides spp. in soil or airborne dust in endemic areas. We investigated an outbreak of coccidioidomycosis in a 12-person civilian construction crew that excavated soil during an underground pipe installation on Camp Roberts Military Base, California in October 2007. Ten (83·3%) workers developed symptoms of coccidioidomycosis; eight (66·7%) had serologically confirmed disease, seven had abnormal chest radiographs, and one developed disseminated infection; none used respiratory protection. A diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis in an eleventh worker followed his exposure to the outbreak site in 2008. Although episodic clusters of infections have occurred at Camp Roberts, the general area is not associated with the high disease rates found in California's San Joaquin Valley. Measures to minimize exposure to airborne spores during soil-disrupting activities should be taken before work begins in any coccidioides-endemic area, including regions with only historic evidence of disease activity.

Lewandowski and 'a dream'

Please engage brain, or at least read the post, before engaging keyboard.
I did say 'dream'. As I said, I cannot think of any reason that Fergie would buy yet another striker unless he was going to release one of the 4 current guys. Which led to the conjecture about a return of Ronnie and the only way I could conceive of Madrid being interested in a deal. Someone will no doubt conjecture that Madrid have apparently shown an interest in Hernandez, or the people who do not rate Welbeck might believe in a replacement.
Its conjecture, 'thoughts' , in my case a possible route for getting Ronnie back. Probably without foundation, that is what 'dreams' are.
I have no idea which came first the Mail story or the story today in most European press. Does it matter? Clearly United have been interested in this guy, he is very good in an excellent team. He dovetails well with Kagawa and he doesn't want to renew his contract. So maybe there is some substance behind the story.
The rest is my 'dream'. Personally I would much rather have Ronnie back than keep Rooney. Its probably not an option, but if it ever was, I hope Fergie/United would act.
I hope not. I don't think he is that good - clumsy at times, ungainly and not very good with his link up play etc. You'll disagree with me Jim, but United fans need to wake up from their 'dream' of Ronaldo returning. 2 more peak years (especially given the fact that he is not RVP, he has been playing continuously for close to 11 years) are not worth 100 million or so (probably more), especially for a player who is heavily reliant on his physical gifts, and even more so when the current foundation of the team at the back and in midfield is weak. We should keep Rooney, use him as a surrogate midfielder at times, especially in a diamond, and supplement the team where it needs to be replenished. As this season is showing, a fantastic forward line does not make up for a broken team.

CEC Capital has a new Goal in mind.
The Stuart, Fla.-based commodity trading advisor is gearing up to launch a market neutral strategy with the help of an industry veteran after putting the brakes on its two-and-a-half year old Ocean program.
CEC's managing director Clark Collins has been prepping the latest offering, tentatively named the Goal program, with fellow CTA Pierre Tullier, the former president of Dunn Capital Management.
"The strategy is similar to pairs trading and we're trading the largest of the S&P 500 stocks," said Collins. "It's a mathematical system looking at the nine different sectors that make up the S&P. Each sector is isolated as far as the analysis goes in measuring the stocks in terms of being under or overvalued. We use correlations and coefficients to help us with weighting different positions. I don't think people have addressed market neutral in this fashion."
The new strategy, which already has attracted between $5 million and $20 million in commitments, is slated to launch in January and Collins aims to raise $100 million within the first year.
"We really think we can raise quite a bit of money from pensions and other investors looking for a market neutral product in a highly volatile environment," he said.
Meanwhile, Collins said the firm stopped trading its Ocean program, a systematic diversified futures strategy, in April because it wanted to make the program fully automated.
"It was just overwhelming taking care of the Ocean program so we made a decision six months ago to stop trading it until we can implement fully automated strategies," he said. "Currently, we have to place the orders verbally so we're doing additional research on the program and we want to get to get it to a point where the computer is running it 100%."
Collins, who anticipates trading the program again sometime within the next few months, said Ocean investors were diverted into the firm's Tradewinds Global Fund, a multi-strategy fund of funds that invests in long/short equity, fixed income, foreign exchange, managed futures, and convertible arbitrage managers. The Ocean program managed $12 million at its peak in 2006 and returned –6.6% last year.
Before founding CEC Capital in 1999, Collins co-founded TJM Capital Partners and served as a portfolio manager for the firm's multi-strategy fund of funds.

A Caring and Sharing Legacy
For 30+ years, Senior Home Sharing has been offering seniors with limited incomes a residential housing option resembling homes they have lived in for decades. Our affordable residences are shared by seniors who furnish their own bedrooms and share the common areas of the home. Our caring staff members at each location live there too, preparing three delicious meals every day, cleaning the shared areas of the home, and keeping the ambience and social engagement at optimum levels for all residents. With freedom to come and go but with the knowledge that our residence manager provides a watchful eye both day and night, residents enjoy the camaraderie of others while loved ones experience peace of mind. Medication reminders (offered upon request) provide an additional level of care and concern often not available in large-scale independent living communities.
Volunteers bring laughter and energy into each home, either engaging with an individual resident or participating in a group initiative or event. Ages of residents vary from 62 (in some cases even younger) to 99! Several residents have cars, while many others take advantage of transportation options available to seniors within their local community or with volunteers.
Go ahead, CALL TODAY! Or continue to discover on our website why so many DuPage County seniors have happily called Senior Home Sharing their affordable place of residence for over three decades.
Meet Jackie
About the same time Jackie started showing signs of aging, her husband passed away. Lonely, she moved in with one of her children.
Within a short time, Jackie and her children agreed she needed more socializing opportunities than living with one of her daughters could provide. However, they were not convinced that living in a senior apartment complex would provide the environment that Jackie needed or wanted. She never desired to move into a senior apartment building or other large senior housing facility.
So they turned to an affordable Senior Home Sharing option – Jackie has lived at Chase Place in Lombard since March 2011. It has been the perfect fit — her children, who live in nearby suburbs, frequently visit and often stay for meals, gardening and interaction with other residents at Chase Place.
Perhaps most importantly, Jackie is able to retain as much independence as possible because of the routine and stability offered by Senior Home Sharing, including dining on three meals every day, medication reminders, frequent opportunities to socialize, and the security offered by full-time housing staff.
So while Jackie thrives in an independent setting, Senior Home Sharing's affordable, small scale, neighborhood home provides her family the peace of mind knowing she is eating well, enjoying the company of elderly friends her age, and having the chance to laugh often in an environment much like the homes she lived in all her life!

UPDATE 8/18/2016: The guaranteed six month rate is not 1.00% APY for all tiers, as suggested by the non-specific wording on the promotion page. The rate guarantee is for the current rate tiers, which I have list below.
In May, I wrote about Florida Community Bank's (FCB) four-month guaranteed 1.20% APY promotional rate on its Personal and Personal High Yield Money Market accounts. The promo has ended but FCB is currently featuring a new Money Market guaranteed rate and Cash Back combo now through September 30, 2016.
FCB Weather Forecasts Calls For … Raining Money!
How the Cash Back Bonus Works
$100 bonus on balances of $10k+, which currently earns 0.40% APY
$250 bonus on balances of $50k+, which currently earns 0.50% APY
$500 bonus on balances of $100k+, which currently earns 0.75% APY
$1,000 bonus on balances of $250k+, which currently earns 1.00% APY
General Details
- Offer expires September 30, 2016.
- Limit one account promotional Cash Back Bonus per household.
- Opening deposits must be new funds.
- Promotion excludes Budget Checking, VEP Colleague Checking and Resident Program Checking accounts.
- $5 excessive transaction fee for each transaction in excess of six per month.
Many thanks to DA reader, tommyn, for his Forum post about the Money Market promo.
Headquartered in Weston, Florida Community Bank promotes itself as "being the pre-eminent Florida Based, Florida Focused Bank," with a market area that covers most of Central and South Florida.
Opening an account at FCB requires an in-person visit to any of 48 Florida branches located along both coasts, from Naples to Tampa, and Miami to Ormond Beach.
At this time, FCB's online banking capabilities are limited to account management and bill payment services.
Bank Overview
Florida Community Bank, (FDIC Charter # 58991) has an overall health grade of "A" at DepositAccounts.com, with a Texas ratio of 8.81% (excellent), based on March 31, 2016 data. In the past year, Florida Community Bank has increased its total deposits by $1.67 billion, an excellent annual growth rate of 39.31%. Please refer to our financial overview of Florida Community Bank for more details.
Florida Community Bank's roots go back to 1923 when it was the first bank established in Collier County at the southern end of Florida's Gulf Coast. FCB was purchased in early 2010 by Bond Street Holdings, Inc., a Miami based holding company with $740M+ in capital. Over the next 14 years, FCB acquired nine Florida banks and is now the 5th largest bank in Florida, with assets in excess of $7.6 billion.
How the MMA Cash Back Bonus Compares
If only the APY is considered, Florida Community Bank's Personal High Yield Money Market Account isn't that impressive, as there are seven other MMAs earning between 1.08% and 1.26% APY available within the Bank's market area; the real value is in the Cash Bank Bonus.

The above rates are accurate as of 8/18/2016.

Glamorgan head coach Toby Radford says West Indies can become the first team to win the World Twenty20 twice.
Radford was part of the Windies coaching set-up when Darren Sammy's side beat hosts Sri Lanka in the final two years ago.
And the 42-year-old says the Caribbean outfit, who start their defence versus India today, can retain their title - especially if the pitches in Bangladesh are flat.
"I think it was a side that had all bases covered when you look at the team," Radford told ecb.co.uk.
"It had a lot of big strikers who could clear the boundary for fours and sixes; they had a mystery spinner in Sunil Narine, who batsmen found difficult to pick and certainly to score off in 20-over cricket. We managed to get wickets early with the likes of Ravi Rampaul, and [Samuel] Badree was very tight with his leg-spin.
"I think it depends if the wickets are flat. My only concern for West Indies is if the wickets spin in Bangladesh, which they can do, and then it's a bit more difficult for them. If the wickets are flat they've got a very good chance.
"Australia are playing great cricket everywhere at the moment in any format so they'd be a side to look at.
"Of course Asian teams playing in Asia know the conditions and play spin well, which could be a factor out there.
"My three sides to watch would be West Indies, Australia and maybe India."
England were a touch unfortunate in falling to a Duckworth-Lewis defeat to New Zealand yesterday, but Radford believes the 2010 winners should not be written off if they can keep things tight in the field.
"If England are really firing they've got a chance," he added. "Their form in Twenty20 hasn't been great and they haven't got the huge boundary hitters and people that can clear the ropes which get you large scores."

Skill Level Beginner
CSS allows us to apply decorative effects to our text through the text-decoration property. While you'll probably use this property to remove default underline styling from text the majority of the time, you can add other useful and sometimes not so useful decorations to your text as well, so let's check out our options. Here I have the decoration.htm file open. You can find that in the 04_07 directory. And you can see exactly what I have going on here in the structure of the page, after a heading in the paragraph, I have an unordered list and inside that unordered list I have several list items, one of them includes a link to lynda.com.
We have a couple of list items with classes applied with all the different text-decoration properties that we can use, underline, over-line, line, and blink. I'm just going to preview this in my browser, so that you can see it before the styling is applied to it. So here is my default styling of a link, and in this case it's underscored and purple because we've already visited this link, or at least I have, and then we have just sort of this generic formatted text. So I'm going to go up to my styles here and we're just going to write a couple of selectors.
So the first selector I'm going to write, it's going to target this link. I'm going to type in li a, so li< space>a, that's targeting any link tag inside of the list item. And I'm just going to use the text- decoration property, and the values that I can use, you can see them right there, blink, inherit, which is again sort of a generic one, line-through, none, over-line or underline. I don't want the other underline property showing up, so I'm just going to type in none. Now a lot of times, if you're going to style a link and you're going to remove that default underline styling, maybe you don't like it for whatever reason, one of the things that's quite common to do is to go ahead and at least apply a different color or different background or something like that to it.
Make it standout so that people know that hey, you can click on this. So if I save this and preview it, you'll notice that now the text is no longer underlined and now it is red, because I asked it to be red. Let's go through some of our other properties. You'll notice that in the actual structure of the page I have these classes applied to it, so we are going to take advantage of those classes. The first-class we're going to do is underline, and I'm going to go ahead and apply text-decoration to that and we will just do underline; I'll save that, preview it, and sure enough Underline me is now underlined.
Now there is a danger in using that and I think anybody that even thinks about usability in a passing phase would realize that most users are going to want to click this and go to a different page, because we are so conditioned to see underline text as links, so be very careful about underlining text that is not a link. You might be sending the wrong signal to your users. I am going to go down to the next line in my styles and we're just going to do .overline { and here we're going to do a text-decoration of over-line.
So I'm going to save this and test it, and indeed we get the Overline above that so that can be useful for specific formatting options. I've never used it, but that doesn't mean that you won't find a great use for that. And then I'm going to go down to next line and just do .line, and on that one I'm going to do a text-decoration of line-through, and this is one that actually find very useful. I am going to test this one, I can see that that basically gives you a strike through, so a lot of times if are doing changes to a file, maybe a Wiki page or something like that, you can use this text-decoration property to show text that's been modified or text that no longer applies to a specific instance, so I really do like that one.
The last one, yes, I saved the best for last, just for you guys. I'm going to go down to the next line and type in blink and then text-decoration, you got it, blink. And if I preview this, it blinks. The text-decoration property does remain a very valuable formatting tool, especially when formatting marked up text or controlling link formatting, which is probably which you'll typically use it for 80% to 90% of the time.

Kaitlyn Black has been with Hart of Dixie since the second episode, but she had something extra special to celebrate before Season 3 kicked off. Over the summer, Black was promoted to a series regular.
"I feel like I've been a part of the family for a really long time ... but it's nice to make it official," Black told TVGuide.com in our video interview from the show's set. "It's lovely that they welcomed me with open arms."
Hart of Dixie's Bluebell and more of our favorite TV small towns
But just because Black, and subsequently her character Annabeth, will be sticking around Bluebell for the foreseeable future doesn't mean Annabeth's relationship with Lavon (Cress Williams) will be all rainbows and sunshine. "There are some rough patches ahead, some waves coming, but hopefully we'll be able to get through them," Black said. "As of right now, we're looking strong."
Hart of Dixie airs Mondays at 8/7c on The CW. Are you worried for Annabeth and Lavon?

Electrocardiograms is an extremely small volume that is written to be used in "a logical step-by-step process" by the beginner in the field.
Because of very limited page size, many omissions have resulted in serious oversimplification of the subject.
It is unfortunate that the definitions of many electrocardiographic findings are either not clear or erroneous. For instance, sino-atrial block is defined as "a failure of the normal impulse to be discharged from the pacemaker or sinoatrial node. If there is complete sino-atrial block, there results bradycardia, because the sino-atrial node fails to discharge an impulse altogether. . . ." This

A new economic index developed by the American Chemistry Council to track U.S. economic conditions suggests that the economy is in danger of slipping into a recession.
"After a relatively strong start to 2012, the ACC's Chemical Activity Barometer is signaling a slowing of the U.S. economic recovery," says T. Kevin Swift, chief economist for the industry group. "As we look at the remainder of 2012, the barometer points to a . . .

Hopkins on The Controversial Antics of Adrien Broner
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, who is also a partner in Golden Boy Promotions, spoke to BoxingScene.com about the controversial antics of WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 24KOs). Broner has been seen in several videos making controversial comments, flushing money down the toilet and even performing a sex act on a stripper. Sooner or later, says Hopkins, Broner will have to grow up.
"[Mayweather don't throw the money around] no more, because he's grown up. And it wasn't just the 90- days in jail, he got older overnight. He got kids. When he retires, he don't want them doing that with his hard earned money. And then he checks them and they say 'but daddy you were doing that.' That's why when they talk about Broner flushing money down the toilet, you can't tell a man what to do with his money but when you got kids and you give them money and they squander it - and you check them - they said 'daddy I saw you do it.' The seed is only going to follow what the tree does," Hopkins said.
"Golden Boy is not fathers, parents and not even their entourage or the people who are with them [who are] closer. I know its not a good look. I don't even know if the money was real, but lets assume it is. I think its something where you look back, and he will look back on it. We all did something that was dumb and stupid coming up. Some things are so embarrassing that people will never admit to it. I never did anything with money because I had a different way of thinking. With time comes wisdom for most. If you're in this game long enough, you will grow up by force."
What you think is fun to do is subjective. Broner is clearly living the life he wants. Broner is a grown man and as long as he doesn't do anything illegal he can do whatever he wants but most of…Comment by WilkinsOlajuwon on 08-09-2013

I felt very disappointed as I had specifically booked for foil highlights has advertised on the offer but was told that they do not offer foils as they damage the hair?
The stylist I was booked in with, although very pleasant, did not speak much English therefore the guy on reception (who was not a hairdresser) had to translate which obviously meant that I could not understand what was being said.
The stylist then nervously ( with shaking hands) painted on a few (and I mean just a few) 'highlights' and then put a toner all over my hair - I could have done this myself - so overall I was disappointed at having to pay £91 for the experience and would not recommend this salon.
On a more positive note both the gentlemen working yesterday were very friendly.

These "fantastic" 4 won't come easy. I hope the players and fans can understand that. I prefer to take one game at a time, we should think about winning the next game at the moment and stop talking as if we won the treble.

one win at a time.
If we beat boro, then the last 3 wins will be the toughest to get.
but we can do it.
C'mon, Guys, draw at SB? MU need to show the class as a real Champion by kick Chelski's ass at their home potato field. Otherwise, the insane Morinhno would still have his word afterward...MU needs to kill them in deep, to seal the f**king Mornihn's mouth.

We need 4 wins or 3 wins and a draw against Chelski
Chelsea have 6 games left therefore 18 points!!!
Actually It's 3 wins and a draw for the title.

Okay but i'd rather we get 4 wins.
but that would give you 91 --- and Chelsea -- if they win all their games can get 93....
It would be fantastic to see a great footballing side win the league rather than Chelsea with their boring brand of money football. The closest Chelsea get to being that entertaining is when Joe Cole goes down like a sack of sh*t every time a player looks like tackling him.

You're absolutely spot on. The only time when Chelski really get close to entertaining is when Drogba, Robben or Joe Cole throw themselves onto the ground upon the s;ightest touch (or sometimes no touvh at all) and roll, roll, roll around the park.

pattern question
I am knitting the "Tilli Tomas Jewel Ruffle Shawl".
It is knit as a rectangle from the short end-- CO 130 sts.
When length of shawl is complete the pattern says:
Bind off Do not cut yarn. Pick up 130 sts across the bind off row. Knit 3 rows . . . etc.
Why do they want me to bind off 130 sts and then pick up 130 sts?
Here is a link to the shawl:
Tilli Tomas Jewel Ruffle Shawl
Welcome to knittinghelp Betsy Elise!
Could you post the next couple of rows in the pattern? That would be very useful for us to be able to help you.
The ruffle starts after picking up the stitches.
I was wondering if the bind off was for ease of blocking the rectangle --- ??
Bind off (130 sts).
Do not cut yarn.
Pick up 130 sts across the bind off row.
Knit 3 rows with color A, purl 4 rows with color B.
Next row -- with color C *k2, YO* repeat * across row.
Knit 1 row.
Next row *k1, YO* repeat* across row.
Bind off.
Talk about serendipity. I was looking at Youtube videos on doing ruffes yesterday.
According to this Knitting Daily video when adding a ruffle to the knitting it has to go on an existing edge, and not live stitches, to stop the main piece of knitting being spread out by the ruffle.
Yes and in addition, the bind off gives a defined end to the shawl and beginning of the ruffle, rather than having them flow into each other.
Thanks so much for the replies! Makes sense . . . now why didn't I think of that.
The video was great. I love that show, Knitting Dailey, and the hostess. Unfortunately it seems my local ( Houston ) PBS channel has quit carrying it.
Now off to my binding off and starting my ruffle . . .

Barre water line break creates sinkhole
Staff Report
BARRE A high-pressure water line blew out Wednesday night, creating a massive sinkhole in the middle of Third Street that prompted the residential streets closure to through traffic.
City Engineer Reg Abare said it wasnt clear what caused the break that was reported at 8:30 p.m., but the problem was quickly isolated using gate valves on either end of the short street that runs between North Main and Beckley streets.
With the break easily contained and no one believed to be without water, Abare said, repairs were pushed off until Thursday morning to avoid overtime expenses associated with night work.
According to Abare, the section of 8-inch cast iron pipe is several decades old and could have fractured due to a water hammer caused by a fire hydrant being opened and quickly closed. He said he hadnt had time to explore that theory.
Third Street remained closed to through traffic Thursday while the high-pressure line was being repaired.MORE IN This Just InTeen dies after

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch spiced up his franchise's Super Bowl celebration by taking a shot at the team's NFC East archrival.
"There's a group of guys in Dallas that call themselves America's Team, but looking out at all of you and the millions of people in the streets [Tuesday], we're 'America's Dream,'" Tisch told the crowd at MetLife Stadium, where the Giants' second Super Bowl parade in five years ended.
You can scoff at Tisch's sportsmanship if you want.
However, the Giants earned bragging rights over the Cowboys by beating them twice in the last four weeks of the regular season, erasing a dozen-point deficit in the final six minutes Dec. 11 at Cowboys Stadium and pretty much dominating the de facto NFC East title game on New Year's Day, and using those victories as a springboard to a surprising Super Bowl run.

snerb: great trail run
bigslade: what dead legs?
Did my last track workout yesterday. Same intensity but fewer reps and much shorter overall mileage. Then 2 miles at race pace plus 4 striders this morning. Rest now until Saturday HM at 7:15 AM. Supposed to be perfect running weather. Can't wait!
The work you all are/have been doing is nothing short of impressive. Your running stories are inspiring, and participating in this group has undoubetedly helped my training this year. The accountability of telling you all what I did made me want to do the workouts even more. The support and feedback only increased my motivation to push harder. It has been a long time since I really set such a specific goal , then worked so hard to get to it. Don't know what time I will run Saturday, but do know that I will leave nothing on the course.
Run strong, and be fearless!
Correction to last post: Meant to say that I will "leave it all on the course"! But I am sure you knew what I meant.
I opted not to run this morning. My knee is bothering me (not a new issue) but I think I finally know the problem! I believe it's an Iliotibia Tendon issue. Cause: weak hip flexor and tight hamstrings. The pain is a very dull ache just under and to the outside of the knee cap. It usually doesn't hurt while I run, but later on in the day. Yesterday it ached all day. I'm not worried though...I have a few issues on the same leg (tight Piraformis muscle, etc.) that I've kept in check with daily stretches. So, now I'll add hip flexor strengthening, ice, and hamstring stretches. A little focus the next few days on strengthening and resting these weak points (knee, hip, foot) and a Chiropractors visit would be wise. But, I get to race in a 5K with my teenage son on Sat. How fun is that!??
NRDgirl You sound so strong and ready for your full marathon! Yay- you.
jmsab23 Hey, Jon! Good job on the TM. I'm sorry we don't get to meet at the Maine Marathon. Next year maybe.
linuscatch I agree about this forum! I'm always inspired by you all and thinking of the distances, the early hours some of you get out there and the courage those of you have, fighting through injury etc, always pushes me harder in my own training! So, thanks. I know you will "leave it all on the course" on Saturday!!

melodylea: thanks for the vote of confidence! Related to the ITB syndrome, the tight piriformis, etc, I had all those same issues earlier this year. Tried stretching, rolling, and every other form of self therapy to no avail. A friend of mine had done "dry needling" at local PT, and had great success so I took the plunge.
I kid you not, after two sessions, I was not only healed and pain free, I also gained range of motion that I had never before had. It is a trigger point therapy involving very small needles, not accupuncture, and it does not hurt. It will cause your muscles to contract very hard during the treatment and ultimately gets them to release. You should not run the same day after a treatment, as your muscles will be tired.
Within two days, there will no lingering fatigue and you should feel a million times better. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with similar symptoms. Make sure to find a PT that has been doing this for a while, preferably one that is familiar with running symptoms. We have lots of them out here in Boulder and the one I go to works on some elite runners who train out of Boulder.
The issues you are experiencing are really bothersome so wish you luck working through them.
Good luck!
melodylea: And have a great time with son at the 5k!
Linus - Good luck this weekend. I agree with you in that this board somewhat holds me accountable too. Crazy to think like that too, I've never met any of you. lol
Bigslade - I've introduced slow carbs into my diet. The only time I really eat 'white' carbs are before a timed running event. Typically it's a healthy pasta salad made with whole grain pasta.
NHLA - Cool pics. Looks beautiful there.
NRDgirl - Your mileage is impressive. I'm envious.
Melody - Enjoy the 5k with your son. I'm running the 10k this weekend, my son is running the 5k. Great family bonding.
I didn't get my planned run for Monday done. My right 'hammy' was very tight so I opted for a P90X Core workout instead. A comfortable 5.25 miles at a 9:15 pace yesterday evening. I wanted a nice relaxing run before Saturday's 10k trail run. Breaking now until Saturday. Temps are cooling in Central Wisconsin and the leaves are starting to turn, frost on the ground the other morning. Fall is without question my favorite time of year. Saturday's run starts at 9:00am, temps are expected to be in the 30's. I always struggle with what to wear and usually end up dressing to warm.
Good Luck to everyone this weekend. GIVE 'EM HELL!!!
Cheers All!!!

linus is right. friction release I think is the same as dry needling. When PT got thru I could not believe the range of motion I had in my foot. I just did not know how tight I was.
Looking forward to some great race reports.
I did not realize just how many of us on here had race events this weekend. It's a pretty impressive percentage. And may we all "leave it all on the course!" And of course HAVE FUN!!
Snerb, I know what you mean about how to dress/overdressing. I pulled out my layers from last winter's running last night to put together my kit for Sunday. I believe I'm going to be ok by wearing a pair of base-layer tights with just a cover skirt over them vs another full layer on my legs, plus long-sleeve base under short-sleeve tech tee. I also plan to bring a fleece over-shirt to wear until GO time then discard since this race does a good job of collecting such items and, if they're not claimed at end of race, donating them to charity. My nerves are starting to get a bit crazy, and I can't go run to relieve them!
Melody, take care of that ITB issue. Mine was resolved when I got proper shoes for my overpronation.
I'm also looking forward to hearing all the great stories from everyone. Best of Luck to all!

Snerb Perfect weather for you trail race!
Almost missed you OshCat because we posted at the same time! Regarding IT Band...oddy, I supinate rather that pronate. But, like I said, this has been a very minor nuisance for years, so I'm not too worried. I'll just begin to correct the underlying causes by strenthening and stretching. I'm so excited for you! Go. girl, go.
Best of luck everyone racing this weekend!!!

A beautiful day once the sun got higher than the trees. Temp hit about 64, perfect for my long run attempt. One problem -- had a digestion digression. Dang it. Ran three miles around the track to see how I'd do, then ran two separate loops around town, stopping back at the track facilities after the first loop. Got back after the second and realized one of my new Amphipod water belt bottles had fallen off. Drove my loop looking for it and spotted it in the road. Stopped to pick it up and wouldn't you know it? It had been hit just enough to break the cover. Dang it twice. Managed just under 12 miles in 1:41. Was happy with that, and the fact that there's no soreness.
Not happy about the other parts of the day, however.
Oshcat and Snerb...... Yeah, when I went out to get the paper this morning it was 40 and I thought about my HM next weekend and what I should plan on wearing. Then I remembered. It's Maine. It'll probably be 87 degrees next weekend. May as well wait until that morning to figure out what to wear.
NHLA, Linus and Melody..... I'll have to look into these things for the wife's lingering hip problem. 10 months, two MRIs, (one with a dye injection), Xrays, five different Dr.s/specialists, an osteopath for realignment, three different hospitals, and now they say it is a labrum tear. Can't hurt to try one more thing. Maybe two.
Good healing to MelodyLea and Mrs. jmsab23 . . . and good lucking racing this weekend to MelodyLea, Snerb, OshCat, Linus and anyone else I've missed.
Boy was it cold this morning - upper 40's but somehow it felt colder at 5:15 am. Still, it only took a mile before I was hot hot hot - super strong 4.5 miler set the tone for the day.
I agree with all of you - everyone on this forum keeps me accountable and motivates me to do my best. Thanks!
So great to read about all the races coming up this weekend. It'll be even better to read the reports.
In Nashville for conference so schedule is way off. decided to run after 5PM lecture and eat late dinner. However, I usually run with nothing on my stomach and the residuals of lunch and snack at 3 were felt quickly. Had to walk several times only because of some abdominal discomfort which quickly abated with walking. That and the 78 degrees contributed to a pretty slow run, but it felt good to get out and do it. Back to cooler Wisconsin temps Sunday.
Good luck to all racing this weekend! Run strong and safe.

linuscatch - You will be fearless at the RnR Half tomorrow. Kill it, buddy.
justrundan - I practice running at different times, with different eating times. It helps.
NHLA - Do you ever take a rest, or are you a machine?
All of you racing this weekend - Good Luck! Autumn on the trails is heavenly.
4 miles this morning with 10x100 striders, just to remind my legs that I can speed up. The HS track isn't lighted, and as it's downhill from the street and the school there's little residual light from streetlamps. Man, it's dark at 5:30!
Run free!
One set of weights/core exercises today after work, followed by a 3-mile TM run that I thought would be a recovery run, but turned into a little progressive run after the first mile. Felt great after yesterday's 3 segments, so cranked it up on the 2nd and 3rd mile. Finished in 23:40.
Tomorrow promises to be a busy day, but should be nice in the afternoon- sounds like a hill workout, then start a taper week before the HM next weekend.
Coyote.... You telling us coyotes can't see in the dark?
DebM.... Nice feeling when you describe your run as "super strong," isn't it? And it's also nice when you describe yourself as, "Hot."
Dan.... Hopefully the change in temp when you return to Wisconsin isn't too much of a shock.
Run well, people.
Well, mostly I meant hot temperature-wise. But if yesterday's run was hot, then this mornings was cold as ice - oh my legs wanted nothing to do with running. I tried telling them they could go back to bed if they did well,but they knew I was lying. It was a slow, tired, sluggish, 3.1. But I got 'er done and that's what counts.
Can't wait to hear race reports!
