We provide superior solutions to our clients in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, defense, wind turbine, gas and oil products, medical, printing and semiconductor. And with our extensive network of well-qualified dealers, Chevalier offers on-time delivery, fast service and competitive pricing.
Chevalier Machinery is the United States branch company of Falcon Machine Tools, a Taiwanese-based machine tool manufacturer with branches and agents in Europe, the Middle East, Mainland China, South America and the U.S. Established in 1978, Falcon is a publicly traded company listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Chevalier's impressive showroom, main parts, warehousing, distribution and training/tech-support center is in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Fe Springs.
Chevalier's Research and Development
Our state-of-the-art R&D division includes design, prototype development, applications, electrical and electronics. The CAD division uses 3-D/Pro-E software that enables design engineers to achieve finite element analysis and dynamic simulation through all phases of the design process.
Quality Control
Chevalier follows the most-stringent quality control process, from casting to final assembly. We have been a quality control leader since our inception, garnering almost every QC award in the world. All of our machines after assembly are measured and calibrated by state-of-the-art laser calibration equipment. This ensures precise verification and compensation of our machines, resulting in increased accuracy and repeatability. Machines are given a ball-bar test, a series of circular moves. The encoder data from the bar is fed into a computer that outputs a chart for machine accuracy. Engineers, who oversee inspection stations, design our machines to ensure that all aspects of the manufacturing process meet the designer's specific requirements.
Sales, Sevice and Parts
Customer satisfaction is always the highest priority at Chevalier. Our knowledgeable service engineers, technicians and sales representatives travel around the world to provide assistance to our dealers and end-users. Our after-sales service fleet is available to our service engineers and technicians. Chevalier's expert network of dealers in more than 80 countries is thoroughly trained to adhere to Chevalier's superior customer service standards. Our modern warehouse facility in the Los Angeles area maintains a comprehensive inventory of parts for all machines sold in the United States.

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Odysseus Quotes
Quote 46
(Odysseus:) 'But first there came the soul of my companion, Elpenor, for he had not yet been buried under earth of the wide ways, since we had left his body behind in Circe's palace, unburied and unwept, with this other errand before us. I broke into tears at the sight of him, and my heart pitied him […].'(11.51-56)
Oops. Odysseus loses major loyalty points for not noticing that he was missing one of his crewmen. (Seriously, the buddy system? It might have come in handy.)
Quote 47
(Odysseus:) 'Right in her doorway she [Skylla] ate them up. They were screaming and reaching out their hands to me in this horrid encounter. That was the most pitiful scene that these eyes have looked on in my sufferings as I explored the routes over the water.' (12.256-259)
Considering that Odysseus has to watch his friends die basically one by one over the course of his voyage home, we're surprised that he holds up so well—particularly since he takes his responsibility to them so seriously.
Quote 48
(Odysseus, in his tale:) '"Dear friends, surely we are not unlearned in evils. This is no greater evil now than it was when the Cyclops had us cooped in his hollow cave by force and violence, but even there, by my courage and counsel and my intelligence, we escaped away. I think that all this will be remembered some day too. Then do as I say, let us all be won over."' (12.208-213)

The money did not come out of my account until july 22. I had made 5 calls to the company each time stating I was checking on status of the Secured Master Card, no one said anything different. Finally a credit repair book arrived, which states inside that it sells for 39.95, but I paid $349. I called company asking what this was they said they do not deal in credit cards sorry but the guy must have told me wrong but this is what I got too bad.
The last time I called the women refused to get a manager said they are not an outsource company as I was told every other time. I could get my money back but I would have to send return signature requested certified mail and in 60 business days I would get my money back. So I filed with the ECONOMICS CRIME UNIT of my local police station

So they keep changing thier story and buying time. I faxed them a letter and copies of some of these rip off reports and also the case numbers for local police and fbi told them thier policy is irrelevant because I never ordered thier product and I will keep calling them and reporting them and if they gave jason his money in 2 days they could do the same for me. have not got it back yet. Also on line superpages, yellow pages search nothing on pc one or phone number, but put in address and come up with a canadian courier service. My advice everone needs to file so we have more proof against them

She handled a divorce case for me several years ago, never did a thing. I filed my own papers, delivered them to the court house and numerous other things. The one time we went to court she was late, wore a cheap wrinkled suit and a weave that obviously needed some attention. It was literally embarassing. Not to mention she got her A$$ handed to her by the other Attorney.
When I no longer wanted to use her she sent me threatening emails say things like "I'd be sorry" etc.
Tanya is the most unprofessional business women I've ever met. She never returns calls, went out to town several times during my case without notice.
I also asked for an itemized statement and never got one. She has no idea how she's spending your money or what she's charging you for. To date she claims I owe her money. Really? Prove it!
Tanya is a scam artist. She says all the right things but will never deliver.
I know of another person who has had the same horrible experience with Tanya
If you've been screwed by this crazy woman,let's hear about it!

a1 School of Public Health, University of California, Box 951772, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
a2 High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt
Objectives: To describe changing food consumption patterns in Egypt over the last several decades, current levels of overweight and obesity, and current data on obesity-related morbidity.
Design: Secondary analysis and synthesis of existing data from national-level food consumption surveys, large recent surveys of hypertension and diabetes, and documentation of historical and policy context.
Setting: Arab Republic of Egypt.
Subjects: As selected and described in primary data sources.
Results and conclusions: The nutrition transition in Egypt has occured in the context of abundant dietary energy availability, urbanisation and moderate fat intakes. The prevalence of obesity in adults is very high, particularly among women. The prevalences of diabetes mellitus and of hypertension parallel that of obesity, and both are very high. Little information is available on physical activity, but it is likely that a large proportion of the population is quite sedentary, particularly in the cities. At the same time, rates of early childhood malnutrition remain stubbornly stable and relatively high. Public awareness of the increasing prevalence of obesity and of diet-related chronic disease is increasing, and attention has turned to documenting the problem(s).

DJ Irie cheers on the Miami Heat and prepares for Irie Weekend
The official DJ of the Miami Heat, DJ Irie gears up for a Miami Heat victory and for Irie Weekend, his annual charity event.
As basketball season winds down, DJ Irie, the official DJ of the Miami Heat is gearing up for his annual charity event, Irie Weekend, taking place June 28-30. The event brings together sports luminaries, Hollywood stars, rap icons and more for parties, golfing and VIP events, all to benefit the IRIE Foundation. Miami.com chatted with Miami's busiest DJ to get the scoop on the event and an insider's take on the NBA Finals.
Which one of the Miami Heat players (current or former) is the toughest on the golf course?
This is easy. Alonzo Mourning is clearly the toughest on the golf course. It boggles my mind why he hasn't joined the pro tour yet. He would give any of those so-called pros a run for their money.
Which celebrity guest has played and surprised you with his golf skills?
Chris Kirkpatrick! Wow, can this guy play. He must have been getting some lessons in on those N'Sync tour off days. His team has either won or placed in the top three every single year of the tournament, all on his back.
Dish on who talked a lot of game but ended up like Tiger Woods in the U.S. Open this past weekend.
Ha ha! This award goes to Lil' Jon! Jon talked so much smack about his golf skills and he was on the course bright and early but when it got to tee off time his world famous "Whaaaaaaaaaaattt" and "Ooookkkaaaayyy" turned into "Whaaaaaaaaattt was that?" and "Not Okkkkaaayyyy"
Are there going to be any big surprise celebrity guests?
Yes, there will be a few but the one I will divulge now is Grammy Award-winning singer and Oscar Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx.
What's your handicap?
My handicap is about a 20.1 right now - not too proud of that but I intend on getting that number way down this summer!
Aside from benefiting your wonderful charity, did you start this event because you are a better golfer than basketball player and wanted to get a little revenge on your basketball friends?
Hysterical! Good thinking but not exactly. When I started Irie Weekend in 2005, I went with a golf tournament because that was totally unexpected from a DJ. At that time and still there is no DJ in the country hosting an annual tournament like this and it's the perfect activity for everyone to get involved in. We have a great time every year.
What would be the best theme song for the Big 3 (or for each individually)?
The best theme song for our Big 3 is "Return of Simba" by J. Cole. You've probably never heard of this song but look it up! Listen to the words! That's the song right there!
How has the Finals experience been this year as compared to 2006?
The best and most striking similarity is that we were WHITE HOT when we took it all in 2006 and we're WHITE HOT again on our quest in 2012, exactly 6 years later. The biggest difference is that our opponent hails from a relatively small market. When we played in Dallas in 2006 there were Heat fans everywhere in Dallas. I've been to our away games in OKC and I tell you I could count the Heat fans in OKC on both of my hands. At home is definitely a similar experience though. I just feels like it's our time all over again.
How will it feel to take another picture with the NBA Championship trophy?
In my lifetime I've been able to celebrate being a part of a professional sports world championship team. Do you know how huge that is? Many of our most celebrated and talented athletes never get to enjoy this experience in an entire lifetime, so for me to be able to possibly experience this twice in 6 years, words just can't describe. I couldn't possibly feel more blessed.
Do you think the Miami Heat fans are starting to get over their inhibitions, is Miami going to become a big basketball town now?
I will say this, our Miami Heat fans have stepped up big time this NBA playoffs. Our AmericanAirlines Arena has been one of the loudest in the country. They realize that we have something really special and unique here in Miami. This Miami Heat team is one of the biggest things in all of sports not just in Miami but worldwide. We are blessed as a city and our fans are embracing that in a major way. Miami isn't becoming a basketball town..Miami is a basketball town. Let's Go HEAT!

Scarlets have confirmed the signing of Leinster second row Tadhg Beirne.
Munster secured their place in next season's Champions Cup after a hard-fought 31-15 victory over the Scarlets at Thomond Park earned them a sixth-place finish in the Guinness Pro12.
RTÉ analyst Tony Ward is tipping Munster to get the job done against the Scarlets in the Pro12 and maintain their Champions Cup status for next season.
Munster must switch their focus to next Saturday's clash with Scarlets at Thomond Park following last night's crucial win against Edinburgh, according to captain CJ Stander.
Chris Henry said Ulster's 21-20 Pro12 defeat to Scarlets could be the "kick up the butt" they need as Les Kiss's men licked their wounds after a thrilling Kingspan Stadium collision.
Ulster's PRO12 play-offs hopes suffered a setback as they suffered a narrow defeat to Scarlets at the Kingspan Stadium, a result which saw the Welsh side leapfrog Ulster into third.
Connacht head coach Pat Lam is looking forward to a short break having watched his team move back to the top of the Pro12 League - the province have a rare week off after 16 games on the bounce.
Connacht boosted their Pro12 play-off hopes with a 30-17 bonus-point win over the table-topping Scarlets at the Sportsground.
Connacht head coach Pat Lam has warned his side they must stand up to a formidable Scarlets challenge when the Pro12 table-toppers come to the Sportsground on Saturday (3.00pm)
Ireland's first opponents in the Six Nations, Wales, have named Scarlets scrum-half Aled Davies as the solitary uncapped player in a 37-man squad.
Connacht coach Pat Lam admitted his side paid the price for indiscipline after their agonising Pro12 defeat at at Parc y Scarlets.
It was a case of heartache for Connacht at Parc y Scarlets as a last-gasp Steve Shingler penalty gave the Welsh side victory and so condemned Pat Lam's side to a fourth consecutive Pro12 defeat.
Connacht head coach Pat Lam makes just one change to his side to face league Guinness PRO12 leaders Scarlets in Wales on Sunday.
Head coach Pat Lam is not worried about Connacht's recent barren spell as they travel to face Pro12 table-toppers Scarlets on Sunday.

Ireland international back-row Tommy O'Donnell has signed a new three-year deal with Munster that will see him remain with the province until June 2019.
Scarlets had to endure terrible conditions and a second-half Zebre comeback before sealing a 20-12 triumph, their seventh of the Guinness Pro12 campaign, to climb up to second in the table.
Northampton got their European Champions Cup campaign off to a successful start with a nervy 15-11 win over Scarlets at Franklin's Gardens.

Student Teacher Jennifer Gross
By Tony Glackin
A new face supplements those familiar ones in the upper level of Woodbury Central's middle school: student teacher Jennifer Gross, a native of Marcus and graduate of Morningside College, is an American and World History teacher studying under Mrs. Dandurand.
Miss Gross loves teaching the upper middle school classes because "I see them grow and develop into themselves." She adds that, "they normally have funny personalities and keep my day interesting." One thing that helps her teach well is her eagerness to see children learn. "It satisfies me to watch them understand what I am teaching and have that 'light-bulb moment.'" A "plan-ahead" teacher who likes to stay organized, as evidenced by her color coordination of binders, folders, and planners, Miss Gross's favorite way to teach is by "finding activities and group projects to keep the kids engaged."
One part of Miss Gross's life that is very important to her is "my family, as well as my friends." She also likes to listen to music because it helps her relax and stay laid back. "One of my goals in life is to find a job to enjoy, and I will continue to work hard and learn from my experiences to achieve that goal," she concludes with a smile.

A Comprehensive Guide to Font Loading Strategies—zachleat.com
A terrific rundown of all your options when it comes to web font loading.
A terrific rundown of all your options when it comes to web font loading.
I've always loved the way that Edward Tufte consistently uses Bembo to typeset his books. Here's a version made for screen and freely licensed.
Some smart thoughts on web fonts.
I love good typography but I have to agree with the sentiment expressed here.
System fonts can be beautiful. Webfonts are not a requirement for great typography.
A single page showing all the weights available from Google fonts at a glance.
The transcript of a great talk by Wilto, focusing on responsive images, inlining critical CSS, and webfont loading.
When we present users with a slow website, a loading spinner, laggy webfonts—or tell them outright that they're not using a website the right way—we're breaking the fourth wall. We've gone so far as to invent an arbitary line between "webapp" and "website" so we could justify these decisions to ourselves: "well, but, this is a web app. It… it has… JSON. The people that can't use the thing I built? They don't get a say."
We, as an industry, have nearly decided that we're doing a great job as long as we don't count the cases where we're doing a terrible job.
Websites should not come with minimum software requirements.
A long zoom and then a deep dive into web typography.
Google Fonts aren't renowned for their quality but this is a beautiful demonstration of what you can accomplish with them.
A quick drag'n'drop way to base 64 encode your web fonts so you can stick 'em in local storage.
Smart thinking on optimising the perceived performance of loading web fonts: if you prioritise the most widely-used weight and style (usually the regular roman), and load other weights and styles subsequently, then it appears as though the font is ready sooner.
Many of the free fonts available from Google are pretty bad, but this site showcases how some of them can be used to great effect.
The battle between web fonts and performance. Ian Feather outlines some possible solutions, but of course, as always, the answer is "it depends".
A wonderful essay about type on the web by Jessica.
A lovely new service from Mike Stenhouse: install the bookmarklet and then when you come across a website with a nice combination of fonts, you can save a snapshot of the page (and its fonts) for later perusal. You can then browse those fonts on Typekit, Fontdeck, MyFonts or Google Fonts.
A great in-depth description by Paul of how he optimised his site. More of this please!
In an interesting new twist, Pictos now allows you to put together a custom subset of their icons as a font that can be served from their server just like any other webfont service.
Emigre's font library is now available as web fonts that you can self-host (providing you take some protective measures with .htaccess). That means Mrs. Eaves is available for the screen. W00t!
A useful bookmarklet that suggests font stacks to match up with the web fonts on whatever page you happen to be viewing.
The newest web fonts delivery service is a collaboration between five foundries: The Font Bureau, Ascender, Roger Black, Petr van Blokland and DevBridge.

Go Back
Valvuloplasty may be done to open a stenotic (stiff) heart valve. In valvuloplasty, a very small, narrow, hollow tube (known as a catheter) is advanced from a blood vessel in the groin through the aorta into the heart. Once the catheter is placed in the valve to be opened, a large balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated until the leaflets (flaps) of the valve are opened. Once the valve has been opened, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed.
To keep the blood flowing forward during its journey through the heart, there are valves between each of the heart's pumping chambers:
Valvuloplasty may be done to open a heart valve that has become stiff. Not all conditions in which a heart valve becomes stiff are treatable with valvuloplasty.
If the heart valves become damaged or diseased, they may not function properly. Conditions that may cause dysfunction of heart valves are valvular stenosis (stiffened valve) and valvular regurgitation (leaky valve). When one (or more) valve(s) becomes stenotic (stiff), the heart muscle must work harder to pump the blood through the valve. Some reasons why heart valves become stenotic include infection (such as rheumatic fever or staphylococcus infections), congenital (present at birth) valve abnormalities, and aging. If one or more valves become insufficient (leaky), blood leaks backwards, this means that less blood is pumped in the proper direction.
Valvular heart disease may cause the following symptoms:
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a valvuloplasty.
Possible risks associated with valvuloplasty include:
You may want to ask your doctor about the amount of radiation used during the procedure and the risks related to your situation. It is a good idea to keep a record of your radiation exposure, such as previous scans and other types of X-rays, so that you can inform your doctor. Risks associated with radiation exposure may be related to the cumulative number of X-ray exams and/or treatments over a long period.
If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, tell your healthcare provider due to risk of injury to the fetus from a valvuloplasty. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If you are lactating, or breastfeeding, you should tell your health care provider.
There is a risk of allergic reaction to the dye. If you are allergic or sensitive to medications, contrast dyes, iodine, or latex should, tell your doctor. If you have kidney failure or other kidney problems, tell your doctor.
Some people may find lying still on the procedure table for the length of the procedure may cause some discomfort or pain.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
A valvuloplasty may be performed as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, a valvuloplasty follows this process:
After the procedure, you may be taken to the recovery room for observation or returned to your hospital room. You will remain flat in bed for several hours after the procedure. A nurse will monitor your vital signs, the insertion site, and circulation and sensation in the affected leg or arm.
You should immediately inform your nurse if you feel any chest pain or tightness, or any other pain, as well as any feelings of warmth, bleeding, or pain at the insertion site in your leg or arm.
Bed rest may vary from 2 to 6 hours depending on your specific condition. If your doctor placed a closure device, your bed rest may be of shorter duration.
In some cases, the sheath or introducer may be left in the insertion site. If so, the period of bed rest will be prolonged until the sheath is removed. After the sheath is removed, you may be given a light meal.
You may be given medication for pain or discomfort related to the insertion site or having to lie flat and still for a prolonged period.
You will be encouraged to drink water and other fluids to help flush the contrast dye from your body.
You may feel the urge to urinate frequently because of the effects of the contrast dye and increased fluids. You will need to use a bedpan or urinal while on bed rest so that your affected leg or arm will not be bent.
You may resume your usual diet after the procedure, unless your doctor decides otherwise.
After the specified period of bed rest has been completed, you may get out of bed. The nurse will assist you the first time you get up, and may check your blood pressure while you are lying in bed, sitting, and standing. You should move slowly when getting up from the bed to avoid any dizziness from the long period of bed rest.
You will most likely spend the night in the hospital after your procedure. Depending on your condition and the results of your procedure, your stay may be longer. You will receive detailed instructions for your discharge and recovery period.
Once at home, you should monitor the insertion site for bleeding, unusual pain, swelling, and abnormal discoloration or temperature change at or near the injection site. A small bruise is normal. If you notice a constant or large amount of blood at the site that cannot be contained with a small dressing, notify your doctor.
If your doctor used a closure device for your insertion site, you will be given specific information regarding the type of closure device that was used and how to take care of the insertion site. There will be a small knot, or lump, under the skin at the injection site. This is normal. The knot should gradually disappear over a few weeks.
It will be important to keep the insertion site clean and dry. Your doctor will give you specific bathing instructions.
You may be advised not to participate in any strenuous activities. Your doctor will instruct you about when you can return to work and resume normal activities.
Tell your doctor to report any of the following:
Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

Pacific Sun all the way!!
market up big again PSUN can't rally at all. This stock is dead needs a defibulator.Going to be bankrupt soon I think.
No investors are here from 2006.We bought the majority of our shares @ 1.20 -1.40Your argument holds no water.
I'll be long gone with stupid short money. I don't hold stocks long enough to need a stock certificate. Touche savant!
I hope you enjoy your stock certificates that is all you will have left when this company goes belly up. Cheers to zero here we come.
Actually, I don't think he can do basic percentage math. He said we are down over 15% in two days. I must be missing something. They didn't teach Troll Math 101 at my school. Is that like Ebonics for Mathematics? 2.25 - 2.10 = .15 (which is about 6.67%).
If you watched the Video he talks nothing about PSUN OR hott............ HE DOES Say GPS which is already up a ton is still undervalued. This stock is down over 10% in two days on huge market upswings enough said Shorts won and will win with their 6.5 million shares shorted everyday before Earnings will be down 3 to 5% everyday before that means another 30 to 50% decline in the next 12 trading days, and then the 50 to 75% drop after the horrible earnings they always show. This is easy. Longs will say they sold when it is .50 cents then will say it's a great buy at .30 cents and be jumping for joy when it goes to .38 cents. MARK THIS POST! You will be calling me swami soon!
He doesn't need to say anything about it because it is #1 on his list. He is the top-rated analyst six years in a row. See? He has actual credentials. You have ZERO! That means PSUN is his top pick out of all of the specialty retailers. DUH! Why do you create 100s of posts and say the same thing which amounts to a bunch of gibberish? Anyone with a fraction of a clue knows what you post is a big crock of BS nonsense! Anyone who has to come on a Y! message board and brag on days when a stock goes down a little (yet it's still way up) about their supposedly HUGE gains of pennies is pretty sad! I'm way up and your posts are laughable at best! You don't even know good grammar and spelling!

Skip to comments.Walmart Targets Unhappy Bank Customers With New Prepaid Card--Should Big Banks Be Nervous?
Posted on 10/09/2012 8:54:11 PM PDT by TArcher
click here to read article
They are able to do this because the merchant pays higher fees when they process a transaction using a 'rewards' card. These fees are passed on to the consumer with higher prices.
I won't pay $2.29 for Tabasco sauce at Albertsons when a better store sells it for 99 cents, and doesn't feed the corrupt union political machine with what amounts to your political donation.
You despise WalMart, and I despise Albertsons.
I can see the corruption and theft of Albertsons when I enter the store, I see it in their complicated use of odd numbers and pricing to baffle the person attempting to buy in quantity, I see it in the 100% and 200% mark-ups on everyday items like Oscar Meyer wieners and Tabasco sauce, and pasta and rice, and Betty Crocker brownie mix.
I am not here to subsidize Albertsons and Safeway and to fight against them having to face the market forces that my business does.
Walmart is the biggest and best company in America.
They teamed with American Express to out flank the banks and take care of their customers. The card is a letter of credit and is form of the ancient device writ modern
Remember...... in the current century, all money is actually blips on an electronic ledger. The card is a blip containment device
Except in the far hinderlands, mom and pop stores are archaic relics, obsolete.
Even in the walmartless extreme boondocks, mom and pop are out gunned and outclassed by Dollar and Dollar general stores.
The Yankeeland union dominated Walmartless cities are all failing anyway. There is no need to try to fight a strong outgoing tide of political ideology
TArcher and his hate of my favorite grocery store seems a little extreme (lol).
One of the problems of the internet is when you are casually posting a response in what looks like a normal exchange, and then too late you realize that the stranger you just posted to is one of those wide-eyed, screaming fanatics on some weird cause, a true believer in the ONLY SINGLE TOPIC IN THE UNIVERSE, IT IS A CONSPIRACY, ALL COMMUNICATIONS WILL NOW BE SHOUTED AT YOU, YOU!!!!!!!!, A NON-BELIEVER!!!!!!YOU MAY EVEN BE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY!!!!!ABOUT THE ONE SUBJECT THAT THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE DEPENDS ON!!!!!
You and I have had words, but it's like brothers who fight, in a family. Someone comes from outside the family and we are all shoulder to shoulder against them.
In short, you're a jerk, but you are OUR jerk. :)
So like a troll.
You despise WalMart, and I despise Albertsons.
I dont despise anything. We do not have union workers in our stores here and the markeups are not that bad. And the quality is as good and usually better.
Where do you live that stores don't have unions?
By the way, many millions of us live in major cities where WalMart is not allowed to sell groceries to us.
>>there is ZERO indication Dodd-Frank was aimed at Walmart.
Specifically, retail stores, led by Wal-Mart and Home Depot, spent more than $40 million in 2010 employing 411 lobbyists. In addition, their employees, lobbyists and PACs donated millions of dollars to key lawmakers.
What were those $40 million and 411 lobbyists aimed at?
Except in the far hinderlands, mom and pop stores are archaic relics, obsolete.
Small businesses are archaic relics, obsolete?
Firms with 1 to 4 employees (or with no employees as of Mar 12) 3,617,764 3,624,614 6,086,291 232,062,907 n/a
Evidently not, Bert.
>>I guess theres now a special card for them.
Special card not covered by the special rules that Walmart lobbied for everybody else (including the small community banks and credit unions they're helping the big banks to destroy) — ala the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank act.
major cities where WalMart is not allowed to sell groceries to us.
Interesting. What about CostCo? We like to buy in bulk from them.
I used to occasionally buy things at Walmart because they were near by and convenient; but my family's patronage of them ended when Walmart Lobbied for the Dodd-Frank/Durbin (D) treachery.
I also prefer Chik Filet over McDonalds because I believe in putting my patronage and $$ where my beliefs are.
I don't shop at Home Depot, either. I like Lowes because they havn't bent over for the homosexualists.
Costco is leftwing, I'm not aware of any city that blocks them, or any media or leftists that attack them.
I do love Walmart though, they are the working man's store, great prices and savings for the family.
I hope they can take on the banks and save me some money and give me better service than the hostile banks do.
Costco is leftwing, Im not aware of any city that blocks them, or any media or leftists that attack them.
"Costco: Message boy for the rabid right"
YMMV I guess.
>>I hope they can take on the banks
I hear you. But unfortunately the (D) Dodd-Frank/Durbin legislation Walmart supported and lobbied for is having the greatest effect upon the small community banks and credit unions -- not upon the Too Big To fail TARPed-over scum bags we'd ALL like to see brought to justice.
Yes, they charge ALL consumers higher prices to pay the CC fees of which I get a nice cut of, including those suckers who pay cash, checks and debit cards.
So those of us who are smart enough to use CCs are being paid by the suckers, and CCs are well protected against fraud and super convenient. Its a win-win-win
Occasionally a merchant wont take CCs or they charge a CC fee. But most take them for free because they are good for their business.
Well, when called on 'stupid', you just double-down like Obama, don't you?
EVERY large business employs lobbyists.
You have still NOT demonstrated that Dodd-Frank was IN ANY WAY aimed at WalMart.
All you have done is wave your hands even more frantically, desperately trying to connect WalMart to this legislation.
Yet any store can easily do what they did. They are business-savvy. They are smart capitalists.
Clearly you are not.
You are only a troll. Tell me, when you are banned, and make no mistake, you will be — tell me, when you retread, will you come seek me out, as you have ansel12?
I hope you do.
>>EVERY large business employs lobbyists.
Is that conservative or just bidness as usual in the post-modern Amerikan CCCompany Store?
Your retort is reminiscent of the attitude of students described to me in a conversation I had with a physics professor from UCI a few years ago whilst we were serving on a jury together. He was flabbergasted at the amount of sophisticated cheating he observed among today's students; and he told of how they blew off the amoral nature of what they were doing ala rationalizations such as "everybody does it" and "that's what you have to do to compete"... and "EVERY large business employs lobbyists".
"COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS [still] DESPOTISM"
—Thomas Jefferson
The purpose of American governance is to secure the inalienable rights of the governed against the predatory nature of those who would enslave them via the tyranny of their own appetites — NOT to facilitate their enslavement ala such atrocities as the Dodd-Frank/Durbin legislation.
First of all, having someone lobby for your cause is not 'cheating'. It is done in all venues in politics, and if you had even spent the SLIGHTEST amount of effort, you would have discovered that this nation's first lobbyist was William Hull, hired by Virginia veterans of the Continental Army... IN 1792!
And you skate right past the clear and deliniated examples I pointed out of your fact-free insinuations and baseless smearing, and your feeble attempts to create non-sequitur relationships -- preferring to NOT defend your points, but instead move on to a new one. You remain a troll.
In fact, If you threw in some weird chuckling and eerie guffawing, Free Republic might understandably mistake you for Joe Biden.
Is lobbying for legislation by (D)urbin, Fwank(D), and (D)odd, conservative?
You know what, troll? I was going to leave you be. Let you cut your own throat. Nope. I am on you now. I will absolutely work to see you banned.
Do you know why? Because you never answer my questions. You never address my points. You just move on to a new question.
I could easily answer, and dismiss this one. I will not. You refuse to answer me, I refuse to answer you.
You are Joe Biden in text form.
I will have your heart over my mantle.
From my lips to God's ears.
>>Because you never answer my questions.
Q: "WHO CARES if the Chinese are left or right?"
A: "Evidently none of the Quislings doing business with the Communist oligarchs in the CPC Central Committee."
1) Show me solid evidence, per your inference, that Walmart actually lobbied on the Dodd-Frank bill, and if so (I doubt), describe the nature of their desired outcome.
2) Show me solid evidence, per your inference, that Dodd-Frank was targeted at WalMart, either to their benefit or to inure to their detriment (in violation of the Bill of Attainder restriction lawmakers must labor under).
I'll wait.
Specifically, retail stores, led by Wal-Mart and Home Depot, spent more than $40 million in 2010 employing 411 lobbyists. In addition, their employees, lobbyists and PACs donated millions of dollars to key lawmakers.
Does Walmart deny their support of the (D)urbin amendment?
The controls are the result of the Durbin amendment to last years Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation. They were enacted at the behest of big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart and Walgreens, which stand to gain a multimillion-dollar windfall....
...Saint Peter dont you call me cause I cant go... I owe my soul to the Company Store..."
I give you credit for supporting your claims. This is rare among trolls, so I must conclude that you are not a troll.
I have a serious problem with Walmart trying to create unfair advantages like this. Nonetheless, the good they do, to my mind, outweighs the negative.
Now, to answer your question: Are such actions Right-leaning, or Left-leaning? The answer is: Neither. These actions are Corporatist. A corporation will attempt to survive in any free market or socialist political environment, in any way it can. Obviously, a corporation cannot survive a communist environment, but we are not a communist environment.
———These actions are Corporatist.——
Corporatist, that's a trifle harsh. There is a better term.
The term is entrepreneurial. The spirit of the entrepreneur is alive and well within Walmart as they continue to plow new ground and grow their business.
I hear you on the 'harshness' of the comment, but I meant it to be harsh. Walmart clearly lobbied for an unfair advantage. That's not entrepreneurial, brother bert, that's Corporatist.
It's like a big chess game. ;-)
BTW, if you have bad credit it is difficult to get a checking account even if you have a job. Those people will jump at this.
I suspect the "check cashing" places will get hammered by this. The poorer you are, the more credit costs you. And you drive a beater car that nickels and dimes you.
I've said for years that it is very expensive to be poor in the US. Wal-Mart and Amex just made it cheaper.
Thanks FRiend.
The word Corporate refers to multiple individuals acting together as one body.Corporate Worship, for example, means many members worshiping as one:In America such worship is a voluntary association formed among free Individuals.Communism is another form of collective incorporation - typically manifested via the power of state mandate; and is not so voluntary.Observe how the Soviet Union had to build a wall to keep its collective members inside the corporate/communist State body. Securing the inalienable rights of the governed was not the objective of the Soviets, and is clearly not the forte of the Communist Chinese.
I suppose if we put the best construction on the relationship between Corporat(ist) America and Communist China - we might think of it as a means of manifesting this:
Nothing wrong with that - as long as we don't become what our Collectivist/Communist/Corporatist Cold-War enemies were, and in the process of achieving it throw out the American baby...
"TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men..."
...along with the bath water and/or the Baath party. ;-}
Is the Chase card a Visa or a Mastercard or something else?
Thanks will have to look at it. I make a lot of cc charges and pay off automatically every mo

Which school/college will the "#1" point guard Brandon Knight attend next fall? is he a one and done type kid?
I think he will go to Kentucky or Kansas either would be good
I wouldnt go for kentucky, the coach makes games fun for you, and lets you play ball, but come playoff time he chokes too much for me
He has already chosen Kentucky.
He averages a 4.0 GPA,and since he is still learning how to be a point guard ,i think he'll stay for two seasons.
All agreed except I'll think pull a John Wall; he'll stay a year then enter the draft.
I dont think he'll do that.I still think he needs to improve his guard skills,because right now he plays like an undersized combo guard,with a streaky jumpshot,and he's not gonna fare well in the league if he continues to play like that.

Does anyone know if its possible to make the pages tag (for showing horizontal pages list in the header) adopt a more standard action. example: instead of showing a unordered list of sub pages i'd like a drop down menu - initially showing the main parent page then, when it is clicked on, a list of its sub-pages appear.
Currently, using the line:
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
only shows a line of page links underneath the main pages links with no real indication which parent page the sub-pages belong to. Is Javascript needed to achieve this or CSS etc ...
any ideas??

Tomb Raider preview (hands-on, screens and gameplay video)Pocket-lint
An all new outing for Lara Croft has been on our radar for a while now - since E3 2011, in fact - but we've never had such an in-depth look at the prequel/reboot as we were treated to at this year's show.
The forthcoming Tomb Raider - a return to the title first forged in 1996 - features a 21-year-old Lara stranded on a desert island. She's accompanied by a collection of other survivors, but the island itself is not all it seems. And there are other inhabitants that aren't quite so friendly.
Pocket-lint saw a 30-minute demo of the new chapter's gameplay behind-closed-doors at E3 2012 in LA and we were very impressed. Although the graphics engine employed here by Crystal Dynamics is the same used in the more recent games in the franchise, there seems to be more detail, better lighting and a greater emphasis on realism than ever before.
The level we were treated to, which culminated in (spoiler alert) Ms Croft's first ever kill, is set in a rainforest and is as far removed from the closed underground lairs synonymous with the series as can be. Indeed, think Uncharted and you're not going to be far wrong.
And yes, Uncharted will be mentioned a lot in association with this particular franchise's reboot. It's more cinematic and we have no doubt that Naughty Dog's adventure franchise has been an influence. However, where the latest Tomb Raider deviates from Nathan Drake's adventures is that it is far darker, in palette and tone.
In fact, the long demo we were treated to felt more like a slasher/stalker horror movie than Jewel in the Crown. Lara's friends are being picked off by the island's current inhabitants and the entire gameplay level is more to do with surviving than finding treasure and working out how to trigger "mechanisms".
And then, of course, there's that first kill. We see Lara acquire a bow and set of arrows ("her primary weapon for the game") and her initial challenge is to shoot and slice open a dear for food. That's not the first kill, but still makes you (and her) feel uneasy.
But later, events transpire that are far more shocking than animal butchery. And, in the context that this is a videogame in an industry of calmly au fait blow-your-face-off titles, the final moment when Lara Croft takes a human life is handled both sensitively and dramatically.
This is a new direction for the Tomb Raider series and one that, from our first impressions, could see the much-maligned heroine catapulted back to iconic status. And for the right reasons, this time.
What do you think? Could the latest Tomb Raider be the shot in the arm the franchise needs? Let us know in the comments below...

What colors are used as symbols in "The Scarlet Ibis" and what does the color symbolize?
2 Answers | Add Yours
The main color used in this story is obviously red. It's used when describing the bird after it came tumbling through their (red) bleeding tree. It says that it lay "like a broken vase of red flowers" on the ground before them.
The other scene where the color is used dominantly is when the narrator goes back for Doodle in the ending scene. He runs back to find that Doodle, and he sees that "his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red."
Both Doodle and the ibis are beautiful creatures. Red can symbolize love and represent the "heart" that the character has. Doodle worked so hard to please his brother and the ibis tried so hard to survive. However, neither could survive the struggle.
The most important symbolism is the guilt that the narrator felt for beign responsible. He realized that his pride led to Doodle's death. So the red symbolized his guilt as well.
There are many colors in The Scarlet Ibis. Some of the colors are: Green, Red, White, Gold, and Blue. I don't have the what they all mean, a teacher told me that they had symbols for the colors.

Best of 2014: Here's what's making news in the Plano-Murphy-Wylie communities
Photo: Rose Baca/neighborsgo staff photographer
For nearly seven years, Ethiopia and Birhanu Tuffa have lived in North Dallas' Ethiopian community off Greenville Avenue. In a small, two-bedroom apartment, the Tuffas and their three small children have found it hard to live comfortably. But next month, the Ethiopian family will move into a brand new, four-bedroom home in Plano's Douglass neighborhood, thanks to Habitat for Humanity of South Collin County, part of the global nonprofit housing organization.

I'm developping a theme derivated of the default.
It interacts badly with my admin interface. The category panel doesn't function as usual : creating a new category doesn't modify anithing on the display. No more emptying of the text-fields, non insertion in the categories list, no yellow succes message.
But when I refresh the page, I see that the category has been created.
Any idea of what can be the reason of that problem ?
Of course, all the symptoms desappear as I change the theme.
N.B. I apologize for my poor english...

—The thoughtful comments expressed by Dr Reyes-Ortiz and Mr Strouse illustrate one of our points—the evolution toward patient-centered medicine is slow and uneven.Reyes-Ortiz provides examples that he believes suggest the evolutionary process may be particularly slow for older and seriously ill patients. This may be partly attributable to physician factors but also to patient factors. Perhaps older patients, having spent much of their lives with physician-centered medicine, may be more cautious than younger patients in bringing their own preferences into their medical care. If this is the case, both patients and physicians would benefit from reeducation in this regard. In our article, we mention some of the changes in medical education that are helping to train more patient-centered clinicians. We also acknowledge that these changes in medical education are emerging slowly. We agree with Reyes-Ortiz that incorporating strategies for teaching values and psychosocial skills will likely advance

Huang, YQ, Lu, LL (2009). Monitoring Winter Wheat Phenology Using Time Series of Remote Sensing Data. "ICIC 2009: SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION AND COMPUTING SCIENCE, VOL 1, PROCEEDINGS - COMPUTING SCIENCE AND ITS APPLICATION ", 135-138.
AbstractThe phenological dynamics of crops reflect the dynamics of the Earth's agroecosystems. Crop phenology extraction of from time series of remote sensing data is a promising avenue to study the dynamics of crop development. In this paper, a three step procedure for detecting onset of winter wheat greenness from time series of remote sensing data is presented. A new phenology model models the whole wheat growth cycle as a Gaussian curve. Using this procedure, greenup onset dates of wheat are extracted from time series of VEGETATION and AVHRR data. The extracted onsets for the study site show good agreement with in situ phenology observation. Interanual variability of wheat phenology is identified and analyzed with climate dataset. This study demonstrates the utility of remote sensing data as a tool for detecting temporal variability of winter wheat phenology.
