text: State v. ErvinDownload as PDF IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON STATE OF WASHINGTON, Respondent, v. JAMES L. ERVIN, Petitioner. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. 83244-7 En Banc Filed September 9, 2010 OWENS, J. -- James Ervin was convicted in 2006 of felony violation of a protection order. At sentencing, the State and Ervin disputed the proper offender score. This dispute turned upon whether two of Ervin's prior class C felony convictions had "washed out"―that is, whether Ervin had complied with RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c) and the prior felonies should therefore no longer be included in his offender score. Specifically, the parties disagreed about whether the 17 days Ervin spent in jail for violating a term of his probation for a misdemeanor interrupted the requisite "five consecutive years in the community without committing any crime that subsequently results in a conviction." RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c). Because Ervin State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 committed no crimes for a five-year period and his incarceration was not pursuant to a felony conviction, we conclude that his prior class C felony convictions washed out and may not be included in his offender score. We therefore reverse the Court of Appeals decision and remand the case for resentencing. FACTS Ervin's criminal history begins with a 1989 juvenile felony conviction for burglary in the second degree, a class B felony. In 1991, while still a juvenile, Ervin committed a second felony, possession of stolen property, which is a class C felony. Ervin's next class C felony occurred in 1994, when he was convicted of rendering criminal assistance in the first degree. Less than five years after his release from confinement on this last charge, Ervin committed misdemeanor criminal trespass on April 15, 1999, and was subsequently convicted. The trial court sentenced Ervin to a 90-day suspended sentence and put him on probation. One requirement of probation was that Ervin attend anger management classes. When Ervin failed to attend these classes, he was jailed for 17 days, from January 25, 2002, until February 11, 2002. On July 28, 2005, Ervin committed assault in the fourth degree, a misdemeanor, for which he was later convicted. Between September 2005 and January 2006, Ervin was convicted of one controlled substances felony and five misdemeanors relating to violations of court orders. 2 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 Ervin violated another protection order in September 2006. Because of his prior convictions for violating court orders, Ervin was convicted of a felony for this violation. At sentencing, Ervin argued that his prior class C felonies had washed out because he went five consecutive years without committing a crime, from his April 15, 1999, commission of misdemeanor criminal trespass until his July 28, 2005, commission of fourth degree assault. The State disagreed, arguing that his 17 days in jail in 2002 interrupted the five-year washout period, even though the violation of probation was not a crime. The trial court agreed with the State's interpretation of the statute. Ervin appealed his sentence but not his conviction. The Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court's interpretation of the statute, holding that the phrase "in the community" in RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c) means that any time spent in confinement interrupts the washout period. State v. Ervin, 149 Wn. App. 561, 562, 205 P.3d 170 (2009). The Court of Appeals therefore affirmed Ervin's sentence. Id. Ervin timely filed a petition for review, which we granted. State v. Ervin, 167 Wn.2d 1001, 220 P.3d 208 (2009). ISSUE Does time spent in jail pursuant to a violation of probation stemming from a misdemeanor interrupt an offender's washout period? 3 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 ANALYSIS A. Standard of Review Resolution of this case turns exclusively on a question of statutory interpretation, which is a question of law reviewed de novo. In re Det. of Williams, 147 Wn.2d 476, 486, 55 P.3d 597 (2002). B. Ervin's Incarceration Did Not Interrupt the Washout Period When interpreting a statute, "the court's objective is to determine the legislature's intent." State v. Jacobs, 154 Wn.2d 596, 600, 115 P.3d 281 (2005). The surest indication of legislative intent is the language enacted by the legislature, so if the meaning of a statute is plain on its face, we "'give effect to that plain meaning.'" Id. (quoting Dep't of Ecology v. Campbell & Gwinn, LLC, 146 Wn.2d 1, 9, 43 P.3d 4 (2002)). In determining the plain meaning of a provision, we look to the text of the statutory provision in question, as well as "the context of the statute in which that provision is found, related provisions, and the statutory scheme as a whole." Id. An undefined term is "given its plain and ordinary meaning unless a contrary legislative intent is indicated." Ravenscroft v. Wash. Water Power Co., 136 Wn.2d 911, 920-21, 969 P.2d 75 (1998). If, after this inquiry, the statute is susceptible to more than one reasonable interpretation, it is ambiguous and we "may resort to statutory construction, legislative history, and relevant case law for assistance in discerning legislative intent." 4 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 Christensen v. Ellsworth, 162 Wn.2d 365, 373, 173 P.3d 228 (2007). This case concerns the proper interpretation of RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c), which governs when class C felony convictions may be included in a person's offender score. That statute provides, in relevant part: [C]lass C prior felony convictions . . . shall not be included in the offender score if, since the last date of release from confinement . . . pursuant to a felony conviction, if any, or entry of judgment and sentence, the offender had spent five consecutive years in the community without committing any crime that subsequently results in a conviction. RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c). In construing this statute, the Court of Appeals has helpfully broken it down into two clauses: a "trigger "clause, which identifies the beginning of the five-year period, and a "continuity/interruption" clause, which sets forth the substantive requirements an offender must satisfy during the five-year period. In re Pers. Restraint of Nichols, 120 Wn. App. 425, 432, 85 P.3d 955 (2004). We adopt this terminology to assist our discussion of the statute. In this case, the parties agree that the trigger date occurred sometime in 1994 or 1995 when Ervin was released from confinement pursuant to his 1994 felony conviction. Less than five years after his release, Ervin committed misdemeanor criminal trespass on April 15, 1999. Because Ervin was then convicted, this crime implicated the continuity/interruption clause, effectively resetting the five-year clock. See State v. Hall, 45 Wn. App. 766, 769, 728 P.2d 616 (1986). Both sides also agree 5 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 that Ervin did not commit any crime resulting in a conviction between April 15, 1999, and July 28, 2005. The sole point of contention is the phrase "in the community" and whether that phrase means that time spent in jail for a violation of probation stemming from a misdemeanor conviction interrupts the five consecutive years required for class C felonies to wash out. We conclude that both parties advance reasonable interpretations of the plain language and that the statute is therefore ambiguous. The State's argument is that "in the community" is an independent requirement that the offender not be in confinement. This definition comports with one ordinary meaning of the term "community," which is defined as, inter alia, "society at large : public." Webster's Third New International Dictionary 460 (2002). It is also seemingly supported by the use of the term in related statutory provisions. See, e.g., RCW 9.94A.030(5) ( "'Community custody' means that portion of an offender's sentence of confinement . . . served in the community"), .723 (defining an action as "a violation of the conditions of supervision if the offender is in the community and an infraction if the offender is in confinement"). This reading is a reasonable one. Similarly, Ervin puts forth a reasonable interpretation of the statute's plain meaning. Ervin reads the term "in the community" to distinguish between the offender's status for purposes of the trigger clause (i.e., in confinement pursuant to a 6 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 felony) and for purposes of the continuity/interruption clause (i.e., not in confinement pursuant to a felony). This comports with another dictionary definition of the term "community": "a body of individuals organized into a unit or manifesting usu. with awareness some unifying trait." Webster's, supra at 460. This definition is also consistent with the usage of "in the community" in the other statutes cited by the State. In those statutes, the "not in confinement" meaning comes from their contrasting "in the community" with incarceration. See, e.g., RCW 9.94A.723 (contrasting "in the community" with "in confinement"). This contrast gives context and meaning to the term "in the community" in those statutes. RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c), however, does not contrast "in the community" with "in confinement"; it contrasts "in the community" with "confinement . . . pursuant to a felony conviction." Ervin's interpretation of the plain meaning is therefore also reasonable. As the plain meaning of the statute is ambiguous, we turn to familiar tools of statutory construction.1 One such canon of construction is that "we interpret a statute to give effect to all language, so as to render no portion meaningless or superfluous." Rivard v. State, 168 Wn.2d 775, 783, 231 P.3d 186 (2010). The State contends that the failure to adopt its interpretation will render the term "in the community" superfluous. To the contrary, as we have explained, under Ervin's interpretation, the 1 Though the rule of lenity applies to sentencing statutes, City of Seattle v. Winebrenner, 167 Wn.2d 451, 462, 219 P.3d 686 (2009), it is applicable only after employing tools of statutory construction, State v. Coria, 146 Wn.2d 631, 639, 48 P.3d 980 (2002). 7 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 phrase distinguishes between an offender's status for purposes of the trigger and continuity/interruption clauses. In addition, the language, as interpreted by Ervin, ensures that time spent in prison on a subsequent felony cannot be counted toward the washout period. Cf. State v. Smith, 65 Wn. App. 887, 892, 830 P.2d 379 (1992) (relying on the "in the community" language to hold that time spent in confinement on a different felony does not count toward the washout period). Indeed, it is the State's interpretation that would result in superfluous statutory language. The State's interpretation of the phrase "in the community" would render the entire phrase "since the last date of release from confinement (including full-time residential treatment) pursuant to a felony conviction" superfluous, for if "in the community," RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c), inherently has the meaning argued by the State, time spent in confinement pursuant to the felony would already interrupt the washout period. Thus, the washout period would already start only upon release from confinement pursuant to a felony, rendering much of the trigger clause superfluous. This counsels against the State's reading. Both parties also proffer results of their opponent's interpretation that they claim would be absurd. It is true that we presume the legislature does not intend absurd results and, where possible, interpret ambiguous language to avoid such absurdity. State v. Vela, 100 Wn.2d 636, 641, 673 P.2d 185 (1983). For its absurd 8 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 result, the State posits a released felon who, shortly after release, commits six misdemeanors, receives deferred sentences, violates probation, and receives a one-year term for each of the misdemeanors, to be served consecutively. Under Ervin's interpretation, those five years spent in jail on a misdemeanor, if spent without committing any crimes, might be used as the washout period for an earlier class C felony. It is conceivable the legislature might have intended this result, for the offender would still have avoided committing any crime for the five-year period. Because it is conceivable, the result is not absurd. See Black's Law Dictionary 10 (9th ed. 2009) ("absurdity" defined as "[t]he state or quality of being grossly unreasonable; esp., an interpretation that would lead to an unconscionable result, esp. one that . . . the drafters could not have intended" (emphasis added)). We may concede, however, that it is unlikely the legislature intended such a consequence. Ervin, in turn, puts forth a result of the State's interpretation that is also unlikely to have been intended by the legislature. Under the State's definition, any time a person is incarcerated he or she is not "in the community." Therefore, it would logically follow that a person arrested and booked into jail is not "in the community," even if charges are never filed and the arrest was mistaken or wrongful. Here, too, it is conceivable the legislature determined any brush with the law should interrupt the washout period, but we also find that result unlikely. Though both parties' 9 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 interpretations could lead to unlikely results, the circumstances in which Ervin's interpretation will lead to unlikely results (i.e., all or a substantial portion of the offender's washout period is spent in jail on a misdemeanor) are far less frequent than are the circumstances in which the State's interpretation will lead to unlikely results (i.e., a person spends a small amount of time in jail during the washout period). This canon of construction, therefore, also favors Ervin's interpretation. Finally, the State cites to State v. Blair, 57 Wn. App. 512, 789 P.2d 104 (1990), arguing that its reasoning is influential in interpreting the language in this case. In Blair, the defendant had been convicted of a class C felony in 1981 and, as part of the sentence, received three years' probation. Id. at 513-14. In 1984, Blair was found to have violated probation and sentenced to a 90-day jail term. Id. at 514. His probation was extended for another three years, and he again violated probation in 1987 and was sentenced to another 90-day jail term. Id. In 1989, Blair was sentenced for three new crimes. Id. at 513. At sentencing, Blair argued, and the trial court agreed, that the prior class C felonies had washed out. Id. at 514. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that confinement on the felony probation violation reset the trigger date in that it was "confinement pursuant to a felony violation." Id. at 515-17. The reasoning of Blair does not support the State's argument. Blair was decided solely by interpreting the trigger clause. In the present case, Ervin's 10 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 incarceration does not implicate the trigger clause, for that clause speaks only to felony convictions. RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c) ("since the last date of release from confinement . . . pursuant to a felony conviction" (emphasis added)). Under the logic of Blair, Ervin's confinement was "pursuant to a misdemeanor" since it was for a violation of probation that was part of a misdemeanor conviction, but that does not reset the trigger date. Only confinement pursuant to a felony conviction does so. Any lingering doubts about the correctness of Ervin's interpretation are allayed by the legislature's acquiescence in it. We presume the legislature is "familiar with judicial interpretations of statutes and, absent an indication it intended to overrule a particular interpretation, amendments are presumed to be consistent with previous judicial decisions." State v. Bobic, 140 Wn.2d 250, 264, 996 P.2d 610 (2000). In Nichols, a 2004 case, the Court of Appeals based its holding on an interpretation of the phrase "in the community." 120 Wn. App. at 432. Nichols had been released from confinement on a felony conviction in 1989 and was later incarcerated for 20 days based on misdemeanors taking place in 1992 and 1993. Id. at 427-28. The question before the court was whether incarceration for those misdemeanors interrupted the "five consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any felonies," former RCW 9.94A.360(2) (1990). 120 Wn. App. at 431-32. The Court of Appeals squarely rejected the argument that presence in jail precludes a person from being "in 11 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 the community" for purposes of the washout provisions.2 Id. at 432. From the time that Nichols was decided, the Legislature has amended RCW 9.94A.525 six times, see Laws of 2010, ch. 274, § 403; Laws of 2008, ch. 231, § 3; Laws of 2007, ch. 199, § 8; Laws of 2007, ch. 116, § 1; Laws of 2006, ch. 128, § 6; Laws of 2006, ch. 73, § 7, but has in no way altered the "in the community" language interpreted by Nichols. This legislative acquiescence in the Nichols interpretation of the term strongly favors Ervin's interpretation of the statute. In sum, we find the plain language of RCW 9.94A.525(2)(c) allows for multiple reasonable interpretations. Applying relevant canons of statutory construction, we discern a legislative intent favoring Ervin's interpretation of the statute. Accordingly, we hold that time spent in jail pursuant to violation of probation stemming from a misdemeanor does not interrupt the washout period. CONCLUSION Because Ervin, for a period of five years, did not commit any crime subsequently resulting in a conviction, and because Ervin was not confined pursuant to a felony conviction during that period, his prior class C felonies washed out and should not have been included in his offender score. We therefore reverse the Court 2 It is true that Nichols would come out differently under the present statute because Nichols's commission and conviction of two misdemeanors would violate the present continuity/interruption clause. That fact does not, however, alter the interpretation of the term "in the community." 12 State v. Ervin No. 83244-7 of Appeals and remand the case for resentencing. 13 State v.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Rather than setting up a separate small business procurement program in house, the city commission is considering giving the existing Georgia Tech small business office $100,000 to help facilitate programs with those interested in bidding on city bids.
"This is, in my opinion, a good transition to turn it over to an entity that can do a good job with it and I'm excited, after talking with the people from Georgia Tech that they're going to be able to carry this thing a lot further than we were able to carry it," said Mayor Dr. Willie Adams.
The small business procurement program will offer specialized training and counseling for small businesses. It will also give participants information on how to bid on state and federal contracts.

By Lisa Kron
May 23-31
This Tony-award-winning play is like nothing you have ever seen before. Playwright Lisa Kron tells the story of playwright Lisa Kron attempting to stage a play that will investigate not only Kron's complex relationship with her mother but also the nature of the near-debilitating allergies that both women have suffered from for most of their lives. Things soon spin out of control, though, when Kron's mother, in hilarious fashion, hijacks the play for her own purposes and forces Kron to dig deeper into her own life and state of mind than even she first intended. This Rochester premiere will be an event not to be missed.

You're looking for a start, a spark, a reason to keep hoping when you're a good week away from even nosing above .500. Maybe this was that night. Maybe this was the start of something, if not quite big, then at least bigger than what we've seen.
The Braves blew a game against the reigning world champs and won it anyway. They won it because Gregor Blanco, who was playing only because Bobby Cox decided after batting practice that Nate McLouth shouldn't, and Martin Prado, playing only because Kelly Johnson has forgotten how, mustered seven hits between them.
They won it because they outpitched the Phillies, which everyone does, and also outhit them, which you wouldn't figure these Braves could ever do. They won it despite two horrendous pitches from Mike Gonzalez that turned a 3-2 lead into a 4-3 deficit. They won it in the way the Braves used to win games all the time but this team

CHARLOTTESVILLE—B.W. Webb had three interceptions and William & Mary shut down Virginia's new spread offense in a 26-14 win on Saturday.
The Tribe forced seven turnovers and Webb, a Warwick High graduate, returned his last interception for a 50-yard touchdown with 2:39 left in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers used all three of their quarterbacks, trying to get something going, but none were effective.
The loss was Virginia's first to a Football Championship Subdivision school since 1986, when it lost 41-37 to the Tribe. William & Mary last beat an I-A school in 1998 (Temple).
Archer completed 23 of 45 passes despite twice overthrowing his receivers who were well behind the secondary and came up just short. He also rushed for 46 yards on nine carries.
The Tribe, which got four field goals (in six attempts) from Brian Pate, finished with a 309-269 total offense advantage after a start that made it seem like a rout was in order.
The Cavaliers and Hall made it look easy early. Hall completed a 3-yard pass on Virginia's first play from scrimmage, and ran 34 yards untouched for a TD on the third.
Only 2:45 was off the clock, and the crowd at Scott Stadium was delirious.
But the Tribe tied it on Archer's 5-yard pass to Rob Varno, and Virginia's only other highlight was a brilliant drive on which Sewell completed all five of his passes for 45 yards and carried four time for 35 yards, the last 26 on three straight attempts.
That made it 14-7, and it was all Tribe thereafter.
The Tribe attempted five field goals in the second quarter alone. Pate had one blocked, had another hit an upright and a third sail wide left, but he made a 40-yarder with 3:21 left in the half and a 26-yarder on the final play of the half to make it 14-13.
His 20-yarder after Hall's muff gave William & Mary the lead with 5:35 left in the third quarter, and he made a 24-yarder with 3:50 remaining after Verica's fumble on a run.

Do you have a receipt for patty cake squash? I raised some in my garden and don't know what to do with it. Thank you very much. Wanda Davis
By Wanda Davis on July 11, 2013
This is a wonderful recipe. I made just as she said and it turned out delicious. I am not a fan of yellow squash, however I received some and had to cook it up. This was a delight to us all. I will make again and again.
By Connie Werner on May 20, 2013
Excellent and easy recipe. I used all extra sharp cheddar because I had no parm on hand, but it was great. I slightly undercooked the squash so it wasn't soft when I put it in the oven.
By Brooke on December 27, 2012

By Emily Lapan on August 26, 2012
I made this recipe for my family reunion today. I liked it much better than others I had tasted before. I will be making it again. I am not sure that I ended up with enough squash in mine though. I was not sure what you would consider a medium squash. How many cups of cut up squash should I have ended up with??? Also, I thought about a chicken casserole recipe that uses Ritz crackers on top, but they are stirred into a little butter first before they are sprinkled on top.
By JI on July 29, 2012
This was my first time making this recipe and it became and instant family classic. My dad, who "hates melted cheese" (as if something so absurd was even possible!) ate 3 helpings. Picky children, who won't even touch corn or green beans, gobbled this up! Truly delicious. So easy. And, since our squash plants are giving us a healthy bounty, this recipe will be made in bulk and frozen for yummy side dishes to enjoy in the cold winter months

If you have a pen, paper and want to write, I'm down! I'd be willing to exchange letters as often as I receive them, whether it's once a week or however long the post takes. And… that's it, I guess.

Defender hoping to imitate Coleman and Duffy.
Jake Bidwell
Related Links
Jake Bidwell hopes to become the next Everton youngster to see his first-team chances boosted by a spell away from Goodison Park.
The left back has been cutting his teeth on loan at League One Brentford since December and caught the eye in the Bees' impressive 4-0 rout of Carlisle on Monday.
Seamus Coleman and Shane Duffy are two examples of players who forced their way into David Moyes' first-team plans following successful stints in the Football League – a trend which hasn't gone unnoticed by Bidwell.
The 18-year-old, whose only senior run out to date came in a Europa League meeting with FC BATE Borisov in December 2009, knows he still has a long way to go - but says he would relish the chance to follow in his teammates' footsteps.
"It gives you optimism," he told evertonfc.com. "Seamus went out, came back and last year he did great. The same with Shane. And it just shows you that if you go out and get your head down, you don't know what could happen."
Monday's outing was Bidwell's 10th since moving to Griffin Park and came just days after his loan deal was extended until March 20.
With fellow Everton youngster Adam Forshaw also set to join him at the London club , the Southport-born defender admits he was more than happy to prolong his stay.
"I'm enjoying getting first team football every week," he explained. "It's a lot different to playing the reserve games - I think it helps you mature.
"Although they push you in the reserves as close as they can, I think playing at this level makes you realise what you need to do and how much work it requires to make it in the Premier League.
"They alway say there's nothing like getting first-team football. The experience of getting games in front of crowds, that's what reserve team football can't give you.
"Hopefully it stands you in good stead if you do come back and play for the first team."
Confirmation of the extension also came as pleasing news to Bees boss Uwe Rosler.
The former Manchester City striker has put his side within touching distance of the League One play-off places and was always keen to retain the youngster's services.
"He has been a consistent performer - probably our most consistent in the back four in recent weeks," he said. "I can only take my hat off to him for the level of performance he has delivered.
"I believe Everton see he is in good hands and that is why they decided to allow him to stay."

On March 25-27, 2013, The African Development Bank (ADB) in collaboration with the World Bank, the Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA) and CapacityPlus held a workshop on Health Labor Market Analysis in Hammamet, Tunisia. The workshop was attended by 40 policy makers, health planners, leaders of medical education and representatives from international development organizations, NGOs, private sector, health associations and health education associations.
The central role of Human Resources for Health (HRH) in strengthening health systems and improving access to essential health care services is widely recognized by Governments among the critical human development priorities. Access to skilled and supported health workforce is a key determinant of health status of the population and hence impacts on economic growth and social prosperity.
Africa's health labor market has evolved rapidly into a complex and dynamic market. The old assumption that producing more health workers is the magic solution for health systems proved to be short sighted and inaccurate. But a more comprehensive approach through a labor market analysis provides a more advanced approach for a realistic assessment and hence the more effective policies and operational interventions.
To this end, The African Development Bank in collaboration with the World Bank, Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA) and CapacityPlus have begun an analytical study of the Health Labor Market (HLM) in Africa. The goal of this joint study is to support health policy makers and health program managers to better understand the status, trends and dynamics of health labor market, and consider health workers as what they mostly are: economic actors, with clear preferences and basing decisions on informed trade-offs. The study is likely to help improve HRH policy making, planning, financing and management practices.
The workshop disseminated the outcomes of the study, the lessons learned and the policy recommendations and promote evidence-based HRH policies, based on HLM analysis.
The key objectives of the workshop were:
1. Present and discuss the joint Health Labor Market (HLM) study findings and the framework proposed for analyzing HLM;
2. Disseminate among policy makers, health planners, academics and wider HRH community within the African context, the initial findings of the HLM study, the lessons learned and the policy recommendations;
3. Discuss the potential value added and promote the use of evidence-based HRH policies based on sound HLM analysis (including education, skills mix, retention, performance incentives, regulation and management).
4. Discuss and assess the knowledge gaps and next steps for HLM research.
AfDB is part of the Harmonization for Health Mechanism which hosts the HRH Community of Practice online platform.

CHICAGO, IL - JUNE 10: The Groupon logo is engraved in a glass office partition in the company's international headquarters on June 10, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. Groupon, a local e-commerce marketplace that connects merchants and consumers by offering goods and services at a discount, announced June 2 that it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock. The company, launched in Chicago in November 2008 now markets products and services in 43 countries around the world. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
The Wall Street Journal is just one of many publications declaring an early demise for one of Groupon's newest ventures: "Groupon ["Now"] is having trouble packing the product with enough deals to make it very useful. That may be a reason it hasn't caught on."
There's been a rise of this sort of talk slowly over the course of this week, and critics aren't holding back on what they think. But, to be fair, even Andrew Mason has admitted "Now" needs time to blossom. At a recent conference, the Groupon founder described the product as a "longer-term investment," and that investors shouldn't "expect it to become material within the next quarter or two."
Then again, isn't a little bit odd that shortly after having an IPO a company is shifting its core business so profoundly? Sure, there was a time when Amazon just sold books, but its transition into becoming the mega seller it is today was so gradual no one really noticed -- unlike Groupon, which ever other day seems to be rolling out some new service or opening some new outpost in another part of the world.
Elsewhere, AOL Money has picked up a piece that breaks down the psychology of Groupon and other daily deal sites. It's an interesting read, particularly if you're thinking of starting your own deal site.
Groupon's stock, as of press time, is at $20.19.

When not playing video games for work he's thinking of dashing out to Chicago Diner, Pizano's, or Yummy Yummy. His first career aspirations were to be a game-show host.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Death Knights are not using the light to bring back a fallen player--they are using Necromancy to reanimate your body by putting that person's soul back in control over the dead shell. In a sense they are forcibly anchoring both together. There is no good magic being used--everything being used is the dark empowerment of the Void, however the idea is that necromancy can do a lot of the same things (if not everything) that the Light can do, with the exception of looking different while doing so. If the light brings you back, that's great, you're brought back. If necromancy brings you back, that's great, you're brought back. In both instances the same effect is occuring--the individual is no longer gone from this world. The how doesn't matter, the fact is that both have the ability to do so in their own way.
The comparison with the coin was to try and elaborate that while we may see the Light and Dark in different ways, they are more alike than we in fact realize. The light can be used in bad ways, and the dark can be used in good ways. Just because Necromancy is being used to reanimate a corpse, it doesn't mean The Light is being used, it means that Necromancy is doing something that is usually thought of as being a "The Light Sort Of Deal".
Necromancy can be used to bring people back from the dead. There is no light being used by Death-knights. It is all necromancy, and it isn't anything new to Azeroth. Liches and Death-Knights have been reanimating people with dark magic for Titans knows how long. The only difference with a player Death-Knight and, say, Arthas, is that he's actually letting the individual stay in control of their shell.
They are quote-unquote "different", but they are NO *different*. I do hope you understand, because I have explained it to the best of my ability.
And as for your final example... yes, yes they could. Both Warlocks and Hunters master the art of *dominating the will of another being*. They only do so in a different way. Exactly like Light and Darkness, they accomplish the same goal in different ways. Different methods that procure the same result. Beast or demon, the same skill is being used. The only thing that keeps hunters and warlocks from taming or enslaving anything they want is game mechanics, really.

Google Talks Getting Frantic: YouTube Payouts Worth Tens of Millions
Google knew when they acquired YouTube last month that they were not only snapping up the future of TV, but also a massive amount of legal baggage. So it's not surprising to see a story in the FT last night stating that Google is frantically making payouts of "tens of millions of dollars" to the content companies. One unnamed film and TV company is receiving $100 million to license its content over a two-year period, according to the report.

Cloud computing is one of many options for businesses today considering new technologies. Note how there are gears in the clouds.
In Chicago, a startup is born every 48 hours. The perceived view of being un-tech-sexy, un-cool and value-driven is changing with several cool technology startups emerging in the Groupon era. Few companies who have made recent headlines in this changing tech landscape of Chicago are Groupon, Grubhub, G2 Crowd, SilkRoad and our firm tradeMONSTER.
While all these and many other tech startups are adopting to new technologies like open-source stack, cloud, HTML5, hadoop, etc. it can be difficult to figure out which of these, if any, is right for you and why.
So, if you're asking yourself this, there are two other prominent questions you should ask yourself about adopting any of these:
There are five gradual steps that can help in minimizing this risk and help in adjusting the plan of roll-out or help to fail fast and move forward. Steps 1 to 3 help to answer the question of making the right move and the rest help in executing and bailing out soon when the plan is not working.
1. Evaluate a business case for a competitive differentiator
2. Execute a proof of concept
3. Demonstrate revenue and business case
At this point, if the results are not optimal, an organization should not make the move to adopt this new technology. If they are positive, then you can proceed with this list.
4. Create an agile development plan
5. Analyze risk; fail fast and move forward
A failure detected soon is also a big win; failing fast enough and changing paths makes a winning strategy. This approach helps in taking calculated risks, minimizes the budget and time overrun making it easier to adopt new technologies. With HTML5, open source and cloud we have used this risk assessment strategy at tradeMONSTER and it has always worked. Hence, fail fast always and keep moving!

NY Good Questions: Any Experience with Crewel Rugs?
Dear AT,
I love this crewel rug (and several others) from Anthropologie, but I don't know much about crewel work (and the rug seems pretty thin).
Does anyone have any experience with this type of rug?
Will it hold up to use or is it meant to be in a room that no one ever enters?
If it will hold up, any suggestions for a rug pad to give it some good cushioning?
Thanks! RJ

I have a crewel rug from Anthropologie, and I love it. I could only afford a small one, so I use it as a bedside rug. It is thin, but it still looks beautiful after two years. If you're looking for a beautiful color and pattern, go for it, but it's not going to be plush under your feet.
Same here, JV. I have the same color rug as the one shown but in the small size used as a bedside rug. I really like it - it's held up well for the year I've had it, but it is quite thin. With regular rugs, you can't see that there is a rug pad underneath it. If you would use a rug pad with this one, you would want it sized perfectly so it's not lumpy (for lack of a better word) around the border.
I have a light colored Anthropologie crewel rug and it has held up well for 18 months. However, it is in my bedroom and I never walk across it in shoes.
i also have an anthropologie crewel rug. it's 5x7 and i've had it in my dining area and my living room. the material has held up well, esp as the living room area is higher traffic (though we have a no shoes policy in my house). i've spot treated any spills and whatnot with success. after 1.5 years it is probably time for a real cleaning.
i'd suggest a thick rug pad (1/2" thick) for such a fine rug, but my bf is allergic to the material in the ones i've found. The Company Store has an "organic" rug pad for a little more $$ than the basic type, but these are the "grip" ones and don't have a real padding effect. They are better for keeping the rug in place: http://www.thecompanystore.com/parent/Rugs Rug Grips/3722/UI32X/
If you have pets, their nails will catch in the stitching, so think about that too.
I have looked at those rugs a thousand times and the one I really wanted was sold out before I had the courage to take it home. Does anyone know where else they have crewel rugs? I love the intricate designs and the bright colors and I wanted to drape one over the back of my white couch.
I have an 8X10 crewel rug from Anthropologie that didn't seem right for the area I purchased it for but just hung it on the wall and it makes a beautiful wall hanging. It was a good way for me to take up some wall space and repurpose an expensive item.
I have a crewel rug that I bought about 20 years ago, and it STILL looks pretty good, with just a few stitches missing. My only caveat is don't ever leave the rug folded for a long period of time, as the folding crease will never come out after that. Good luck
FYI, to remove a crease, you can put ice on the areas that are the worst (mine was folded twice so the double fold points were bad).
When it melts a little, smooth out the rug with the water and it will be fine. This post inspired me to take mine out of storage and I removed the creases quickly (it was folded for a few years!).
Another option might be ironing, but I haven't tried that.
In New York, check street fairs - there are vendors who sell crewel rungs BUT the ones at Anthropologie were adaptations of Central Asian textile designs, among other things. The ones sold at the fairs are more traditional dark reds and blues.
This crewel work is traditional in Kashmir, in northern India & Pakistan. Most of what is on the market comes from India. The modern commercial work is generally made into throw pillow covers and wall hangings and always has a coarse cotton or jute backing. There are different grades to the embroidery. The ones sold at Anthropolgie are the less expensive grade. You could Google Kashmir or Kashmiri crewel and see what comes up.
If you use it as a rug, definitely use a rug pad with it, to keep it from slipping and to protect the rug from wear.
The fact that a rug is thin has no bearing on durability. Much more of a concern is that they are crewel, and a high heeled shoe could catch in the embroidery and cause a thread to pull.
It's one of the basic facts of the Oriental rug world that the thinner the carpet, the shorter its lifespan.
Also, at my rug shop we haven't found that rug pads necessarily protect your rug -- although we do recommend buying a pad if your rug is slipping, or if you like the cushiony feeling it gives you underfoot.
See this article for more info: Oriental rug care.
One place to look for good priced rugs is Novica.com Their really nice crewel designs are mostly in smaller sizes, but you can contact the artists, and they may be able to make a bigger one for you, its worth a shot. They have a section dedicated to "Kashmiri chain-stiched rugs" which is where you will find the crewel ones.
Hello, my name is ivonne Burgos and I am of temuco to the south of chile, am artesan textile and specialize myself in wools tinturadas for all kinds of works, want that they know my work.
We are prepared to export to any country.
This rug is indeed not very plush . I think that it will hold up well for several years but if you do want to add more plushness try this rug pad
Crewel Rugs are not necessarily for the heavy traffic areas, but they hold up fine. As many pointed out these rugs are not plush but hold up very well. The colors are very bright and vivid. For the price they are very well worth the money.
I just laid mine out with the premium rug pad from pottery barn which provides decent cushion.

Goodness and Light, though the most powerful Presence in the world, are currently under attack, and (temporally) subjugated by a weaker nonexistence, manifest in malfeasance and darkness. The Catholic believer, those faithful ones who try with all their finite, yet weak, might to obey Church Teaching, while remaining faithful to their Lord, found most intimately in the Eucharist, are being crushed by an organized, strategic, ideological, bureaucratic, secularist, socialist, atheist, tyrannical, governmental, regime headed by the Supreme Idealogue in Chief, Barack Obama.
The freedom necessary for faith is under attack.
The Life necessary to exercise this freedom is being exterminated at this very moment.
And the Eucharist is being trampled under the tyrannist's boot as we sip our morning coffee.
"Stephen said to the people, the elders, and the scribes: 'You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors...They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul...Now Saul was consenting to his execution." Acts 7:51--8:1
Not trying to sound too much like Archie Bunker (but passing north of age 50, it is inevitable), but ever since the 'spiritual and social revolution' of the 1960's, America has grown deaf to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Now all sorts of spirits have not only invaded our nation, but they have encamped themselves in our popular society, and, even, taken over our government.
For they are Legion.
Spirits which encourage abortion and euthanasia. Spirits which legitimize contraception, forced sterilization, and abortifacient chemistry. Spirits which rationalize and normalize gay 'marriage.' Spirits which force socialism upon a free people, and make those people so apathetic as to vote for it...twice! Spirits which enslave people in entitlements, and force religiously minded people to pay for things which go against their faith. Spirits which inspire class and racial warfare. Spirits which reward criminal activity in illegal immigration.
These very same spirits foster an apathy, lethargy, and disinterest in the Most Holy Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
"Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to give me safety. You are my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake you will lead and guide me." Psalm 31:3-4, 6-8, 17, 21
Don't think that the Obama administration (see the BLM in Nevada) isn't capable of trampling the Catholic altar at high noon, interrupting the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, killing priests, and trampling the Eucharist, like when the tyrannists in El Salvador killed Archbishop Oscar Romero. Don't think that the Obama administration (or the continuation of it in the Hillary administration) isn't capable of the mass murdering of our clergy, necessary for the Eucharist, like what happened to Father Miguel Pro in Mexico. Don't think that the Obama administration cannot grow to such a behemoth dimension that it won't crush Catholicism like what occurred in Stalin's Russia, or in Hitler's Germany.
Or, maybe, the Obama administration will show 'mercy' on us and let us worship in a puppet church like the one currently in Communist China.
The Catholic Church is our Home, our Mother, because she holds the Lord in her womb in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist.
"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.'" John 6:30-35
Starve the people of the Bread of Life and you will have a population willing to eat just about anything to survive. And that's what's happening now.

A direct descendent of the original Jeep - the 1941 Willys MB - the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler evolves from more than 65 years of legendary 4x4 leadership. Building on the successful, original Jeep formula with an all-new frame, exterior and interior design, engine, and safety and convenience features, Jeep Wrangler delivers more capability, interior space and comfort, refinement, power and open-air fun.
"The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler blazes a trail no other vehicle can follow," said Jeff Bell, Vice President - Jeep, Chrysler Group. "Just as it did when it first debuted in 1941, Jeep Wrangler sets a new benchmark in off-road capability".
Offered in three models - Wrangler X, Sahara and Rubicon - the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is lean, rugged and simple, achieving best-in-class off-road capability while delivering a true open-air driving experience. With solid axles, removable doors, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield and innovative removable and convertible tops, Jeep Wrangler retains the brand's coveted core values of freedom, adventure, mastery and authenticity.
More Legendary Off-road Capability
From ground clearance to articulation to traction, Jeep engineers focused on more than 50 functional objectives during development of the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The result is the ultimate "out-of-the-box" off-road vehicle with all the necessary features to "go anywhere and do anything."
Improved ground clearance, combined with short front and rear overhangs, enables the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler to navigate the world's most challenging off-road trails, especially severe inclines. A boulder-friendly approach angle of 44.3 degrees and breakover angle of 25.4 degrees, along with a 40.4 degree departure angle, once again make the 2007 Jeep Wrangler the most formidable off-roader.
Providing unmatched wheel articulation and durability, Jeep Wrangler X and Sahara models feature an enhanced Dana 30 front axle and Dana 35 rear axle. For the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon model, heavy-duty front and rear axles are both Dana 44s, which feature numerous improvements. With the optional trailer tow package, a Dana 44 rear axle is standard on all media. Providing significant underbody protection are three skid plates - protecting the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan.
For the first time, Jeep Wrangler offers an electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar - Active Sway Bar System (ASBS) - delivering additional wheel travel for traversing the toughest trails. As a result, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler boasts a 652 Ram p Travel Index (RTI - a measurement of a vehicle's suspension articulation) with the front stabilizer bar engaged and an 832 RTI with the front stabilizer bar disconnected - a 28 percent increase.
Jeep Wrangler X and Sahara models feature the second-generation Command-Trac® NV241, part-time, two-speed transfer case, featuring a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio. In addition, a Trac-Lok® limited-slip rear differential provides extra torque and grip during low-traction situations, such as driving over sand, gravel, snow or ice.
The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon model features an Off-Road Rock-Trac™ NV241 two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, as well as electric front- and rear-axle lockers and 32-inch B.F. Goodrich Off-Road tires.
More On-road Refinement
While improving its legendary 4x4 Jeep capability, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler offers enhanced on-road comfort due to an all-new 100 percent stiffer frame in bending, 50 percent stiffer body, refined five-link coil suspension, improved shock tuning, 2-inch longer wheelbase and 3.5-inch wider track. In addition, new steering and suspension geometry provides precise ride and handling characteristics, and new sound-deadening techniques reduce cabin noise by more than 20 percent.
Ride balance in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is more refined, achieving less body lean when cornering and braking. In addition, lower suspension spring rates provide a softer, more comfortable on-road ride. Standard on the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability in severe driving maneuvers on any type of surface. ESP features three modes - "full on," "full off" and "partial on."
Standard on the 2007 Jeep Wrangler X model, low-pressure twin-tube shock absorbers are tuned to provide improved balance between jounce and rebound motions, achieving an extremely responsive suspension. Jeep Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon models feature standard high-pressure monotube shocks, utilizing Low Speed Tunable (LST) valve technology.
The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler's new recirculating-ball steering configuration features a robust cross-car steering linkage system, providing the stiffest possible steering linkage in a solid-axle vehicle, for a precise "rack-and-pinion" feel.
More Interior Space and Comfort
The 2007 Jeep Wrangler's all-new interior is designed to offer new features and functionality, increase passenger comfort and improve ergonomics. The spacious, durable interior features a new instrument panel and center stack, and new high-back front bucket seats.
Interior volume provides significantly more passenger space, versatility and cargo storage. Featuring a front-seat area with 54.6 cu. ft. of space - an increase of 4.8 cu. ft. - the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler provides 5.1 inches more shoulder room and 4.6 inches more hip room.
New front seats are sculpted and conform to the body, and a driver's seat height adjuster is available for optimized seat position and comfort. Jeep Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon models feature cloth seats with YES Essentials® fabric - an easy-care, soil-repellant and anti-microbial textile that protects seats from stains, odors and discoloration.
Rear seats comfortably accommodate two adults with 3.9 inches more shoulder room, 1.6 inches more hip room, 1 inch more leg room and a 2-inch greater couple than the 2007 Jeep Wrangler's predecessor. A fold-and-tumble feature allows rear seats to be conveniently stowed for additional storage capacity.
More Options for Open-air Fun
An all-new, three-piece modular hard top system features three panels - left- and right-front passenger panels and a rear panel - providing more options for open-air driving in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Removing the left- and right-front passenger panels is simple and may be accomplished quickly by one person.
Also available in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is the innovative Sunrider™ soft top, which includes a "sun roof" feature in addition to the full top-down option. This soft top provides a second open-air option by folding the soft top back completely over the driver and front passenger to create a 52x30-inch sun roof opening - larger than any typical glass sun roof.
New, More Powerful Engine
A new 3.8-liter overhead valve V-6 engine is featured on all 2007 Jeep Wrangler models, replacing the 4.0-liter Power-Tech in-line six engine. With 205 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque, Jeep Wrangler comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission or an available four-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.8-liter V-6 engine produces more horsepower and torque than its predecessor. Compared to the 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the 3.8-liter is lighter and shorter, and maintains higher torque at speeds above 3400 rpm, allowing for an expanded operating range.
The all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler's horsepower and torque, combined with an enhanced suspension, results in a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. For the first time in a Jeep Wrangler, an optional towing package includes a rear Dana 44 axle with a 4.10 axle ratio and trailer hitch.
More Stopping Power
New four-wheel-disc anti-lock brakes are standard on all 2007 Jeep Wrangler models. An off-road anti-lock-braking feature enables sustained wheel lockup for improved performance on plowable surfaces, including loose dirt, gravel, sand and mud.
All 2007 Jeep Wrangler models incorporate larger wheels and tires than previous Wrangler models. Standard 16-inch wheels on the Wrangler X model and 17-inch wheels on the Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon models are new for 2007. In addition, 18-inch wheels - a Wrangler first - are optional on Wrangler Sahara.
More Safety and Security Features
Like all Jeep vehicles, the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler is designed to improve not only handling and accident avoidance, but also to provide protection. Jeep Wrangler includes the highest level of safety features ever offered in the vehicle's history - to provide customers the ability to safely "go anywhere, do anything."
Following are available safety and security features in the all-new 2007 Jeep Wrangler:
- Advanced Multi-stage Air Bag System: This system inflates with a force appropriate to the severity of an impact. It includes the occupant classification system (OCS)
- Anti-lock-braking System: Electronic sensors help detect impending wheel lockup. The ABS system offers improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions
- Brake Assist: The vehicle senses a panic brake condition and applies maximum braking power, providing the shortest possible stopping distance
- Child Seat Anchor System: Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) make it easier to install compatible aftermarket child seats in the rear seat
- Energy-absorbing Steering Column: Manual-adjust collapsing steering column includes two hydroformed coaxial tubes that move relative to each other, which allows the column to move forward and provide more energy absorption during an impact
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP): ESP aids the driver in maintaining vehicle directional stability, providing oversteer and understeer control to maintain vehicle behavior on various road surfaces. This feature has three settings, allowing the driver more control over the vehicle during spirited driving
- Electronic Roll Mitigation: A system that observes and monitors the vehicle roll attitude and lateral force to estimate the potential for a rollover situation. If necessary, the engine torque is reduced and a short burst of full braking is applied to the appropriate wheel to help stabilize the vehicle attitude and reduce the vehicle's lateral force
- Occupant Classification System (OCS): Measures conditions for activation or deactivation of the passenger-side front air bag based upon the weight of the occupant
- Pretensioners: During an impact, the impact sensors initiate front seat belt pretensioners to immediately remove slack from seat belts, which reduces the forward movement of the occupant's head and torso
- Pretensioners: During an impact, the impact sensors initiate front seat belt pretensioners to immediately remove slack from seat belts, which reduces the forward movement of the occupant's head and torso
- Side-impact Door Beams: Door beams are made of high-strength steel mounted in the vehicle's doors to help prevent passenger compartment intrusion

By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household…
--Hebrews 11:7
Noah demonstrated that his faith was real by believing what God had said and acting on it. And although that sounds simple, it's not always easy to do!
Noah had lots of reasons not to obey what God had asked. There were no signs of rain… it was too big a task for one person… and what would people say?
There were probably times when he felt fear, doubt, insecurity, and embarrassment… but he made a choice to believe what God had said and act on it. And then it happened.
The rain came. The people perished. And only Noah and his family survived!
On that day, Noah was thankful for the choice he made to believe what God had said and to act on it.
And when you make the same choice to obey God, let me assure you, you won't regret it!

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
