Re: September Board
Alix: I drank caffene throughout all of my pregnancies! Although--with Jordyn coffee made me sick until about 18 weeks--and then from 25ish weeks on I had to basically drown myself in water--and if I drank any pop/soda/coke I would have to drink even MORE water. So it was a loosing battle! However, if I could have drank it more I would have!

Why Were So Many "Crazy" Higgs Boson Stories Published?
samzenpus posted more than 2 years ago | from the what-can't-it-do? dept.291
The presumed discovery of the Higgs boson may be one of the most important scientific discoveries ever, but it did bring out quite a bit of "strange" science reporting. In addition to blogs, many mainstream news sites jumped on the crazy headline bandwagon. The ability to soon travel at the speed of light, the building of a Star Trek style transporter, and many stories of the particle proving God doesn't exist have made the rounds in the past week. Is the particle's discovery just on the fringe of common scientific knowledge and therefore prone to wild speculation, or does this all come down to having the most sensational headline?

Quite a few people at work have been asking me about this Internet Explorer security flaw that was announced earlier this week. The vulnerability is effecting versions of IE 6-11 and can allow hackers to take over your computer remotely. It's such a major flaw that some companies have even started blocking flash to help mitigate this hole until a patch can be released. Microsoft has announced that they will be providing a patch soon; however, users of XP will not be getting this patch since it is no longer supported.
Biggest prevention that you can do right now is to install another browser.
If you are still using Windows XP, you NEED to upgrade. Microsoft is NO longer providing patches (it's been 12 years since XP launched).
While you're at it, get yourself a good virus scanner. Microsoft Security Essentials is what I use on all my machines. It's great, lightweight, and updates itself right along with Windows (make sure you uninstall any other antivirus before installing a new one).
Update: Microsoft will be providing a patch today (5/1) to fix this issue. Windows XP users will also be getting this patch it seems. Although I still recommend you to upgrade soon.

Jacques Torres with kids
I'm taking two seven year olds to the city this weekend and I was thinking of taking them out for chocolate (a good behavioral bribe for the earlier part of the day, and then flee home before the sugar kicks in).
How is the Jacques Torres in Manhattan for children?
the manhattan store is large, and has a few places to sit. i've never been on the weekends, so i'm not sure how crowded it gets. if they are making chocolates in the 'factory' it would be fun for the kids to watch. but if you are looking for more of a restaurant atmosphere, something like Serendipity 3 may be more fun for them. but that certainly would be a longer trip.
Highly recommended even though the factory doesn't make chocolate on the weekend. The store will be festively decorated for Halloween and there's a snack bar that sells hot chocolate and other goodies.
JT is great for kids, assuming they love chocolate. I live nearby and have taken my 7-year-old there many times. They have great cookies, hot chocolate and more.
Go for it! My sister and I went on a Saturday and saw JT himself with a group of kids touring them around the shop/factory. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. He makes chocolate covered cheerios and cornflakes, which my son loves! And the wicked hot chocolate is to die for!

Childrens Cancer Fund to host its 22nd Annual Beyond the Rainbow Luncheon and Fashion Show
BARDWELL - Children's Cancer Fund will host its 22nd Annual Beyond the Rainbow Luncheon and Fashion Show, themed "Bright Stars. Bright Hope." on Friday, April 23, in the Chantilly Ballroom of the Hilton Anatole Hotel to raise money for pediatric cancer research.
Honorary Co-Chairs Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach will join corporate sponsors, celebrity escorts (including Daryl and Diane Johnston, Drew Pearson, Janine Turner, etc.) and media to present 43 young cancer patients and numerous pediatric cancer survivors in a special runway show, sponsored by Dillard's. Event proceeds will go to Children's Cancer Fund to help advance pediatric cancer research and treatment programs at Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center, benefiting children worldwide.
One of the unique features of the event is the production of the annual Children's Cancer Fund Calendar.
The 2010 Children's Cancer Fund Calendar Book will include original artwork by young "calendar artists," inspired by their experiences with cancer. This special calendar will be unveiled at the luncheon and will be available for purchase for $25 a copy through Children's Cancer Fund at 972-664-1450 or by visiting www.childrenscancerfund.net. Proceeds will go to pediatric cancer research.
In addition to producing artwork for the calendar, these "calendar artists" will participate in the fashion show as first-time models, walking the runway with celebrity escorts and sponsors.
Tickets for the 21st Annual Beyond the Rainbow Luncheon and Fashion Show are $150 per person or $1,250 per table of ten. For reservations and more information, readers can contact Children's Cancer Fund at 972-664-1450 or visit www.childrenscancerfund.net.
Bardwell Calendar Artist: Bevanna Cardona, 14, daughter of Isidro and Irene Cardona, attends Ennis Junior High. She has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
When she grows up she'd like to be a chef on the Food Network.
Her favorite subject at school is Social Studies and on the weekends she likes to sleep until noon and go out to a movie and dinner with family or friends.
If she could go to outer space or another planet she would go to Mars because of the color.
Her CCF Calendar drawing is a girl who is admiring the stars and wishing she could reach for them.
She is excited about the Beyond the Rainbow Luncheon and to see all of the clothes.
She is happy when things go well when she expects them to not go so well.
Her heroes are her parents because they've always tried to give their family what they ask for or need.
Her hobby is watching the TV cooking network because she gets inspired to learn new things on how to cook.
Her favorite movie star is Taylor Lautner and her favorite singer is Martin Johnson from Boys Like Girls.

Show reviews by je jo
Phil the Void: Motherbanking Bankholes
Do Not Miss! by je jo
Rating: 5 kitties
This is a great (and very timely) show. Phil's observations are keen, and his delivery is spot on. Fans of Eddie Izzard will like this show (minus the cross dressing, sadly). Smart, topical, biting satire, without feeling mean or bitter. Phil is my new fave!
cool creature solos by je jo
Rating: 4 kitties
This show is not for everyone, but for folks who appreciate the subtleties of dance and movement, several of these pieces are sublime. Expect quirky, odd, curious movement; expect abstract, non-linear narratives rather than cute "stories." My personal favorites were Ober's quirky bird-like creature, and Lincoln's sad pony-boy. Also enjoyed Laura Selle Virtucio's piece, which was more kinetic than the others. These are 5 very strong dancers, tho, and a nice opportunity to see their solo work. Finally, i agree with the previous reviewers- please don't apologize for your work. I don't care how long it took to come together, and there's no need to detract from the final product.
The Problem (with) Your Mother's Butt
great fun by je jo
Rating: 4 kitties
I agree with the previous reviewer; "The Problem" was vastly superior to "Your Mother's Butt," but both were enjoyable, clever, quirky, and fun. The energy between Ari and Amy in the first piece was tremendous. The piece was very funny, and i think it's my favorite thing i've seen so far this year. I wanted to like the second piece more than I did. Nathan's delivery was a bit over the top, and detracted from the material. I wanted it to by wryly satirical, but he played it almost slapstick. Not great, but not awful, either. Luckily, the first piece is worth the price of admission.
Your Responsibility for Sex Failure
well done by je jo
Rating: 4 kitties
very fun! this cast works well together, very snappy delivery, with great comic timing. the material is clever, nicely written. thoroughly enjoyable.
Meh. by je jo
Rating: 2 kitties
Show is very earnest, and has a lot of potential, but in the end it comes across as weirdly amateurish. Staging was odd and awkward, and delivery was pretty uneven. It's heart is in the right place, and there were some truly funny moments, but in the end i was left a bit flat. Sorry guys...

Okay, so some people have issues with this part of the movie (as well as other parts), but the message she's trying her best to make a part of that little girl's soul is just heart-wrenching. Gets me everytime.
That was my favourite part of the movie. A child can never hear enough how important and loved he/she is. I don't believe it creates a false sense of self importance, but a feeling of selfworth that will help you deal better with a lot of issues throughout your whole life.

President Obama, yelling at Presidential Candidates after they do nothing to stop the booing of gay soldiers.
Oh wow.
I don't know why I am surprised at this, but I am. Presidential candidates thinking it's "political convenient" to not stand up for their own people. And it shouldn't be just because they are soldiers, I would think most normal people would be enraged by the booing of any gay people. Where I live, this would be considered extremly "political INconvenient",and would probably kill your political carreer. I am happy to live in an open country where all people are treated with respect.

Gorgeous. Also photographic proof that the moon is not, in fact, larger near the horizon. That is merely an illusion.
What do they call that illusion? "The Moon Illusion" of course. ASAPScience did a really nice video about it.
Not only that, but see how the moon is red near the horizon? That's because of the same science that makes the sunsets red and orange! And I did a video about that: "Why is the Sky Any Color At All?"

Two questions I get a lot are, "How can I tell if a girl likes me?" and "What are the signs a girl is flirting with me?" Firstly, and quite importantly, it's always better to let a girl know that you're interested in her first than to wait around for signs that she likes you. Then again, you don't want to waste time chasing after a girl only to find out weeks later that she's not interested in you sexually. What a waste of time and energy, right? In this post I'll share some giveaway signs to help you find out if she likes you or not. … Continue reading →

The writing duo behind 2001′s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider feature has been tapped to remake the Icelandic thriller, City State for New Regency. Patrick Massett and John Zinman will pen the new version of Olaf de Fleur Johannesson's 2011 feature. We previously reported that directorJames Mangold (Walk the Line) would be moving onto City State after wrapping on The Wolverine.The story of City State follows four characters caught in the cross-hairs of a drug syndicate and juggles "a crooked police captain in love with a prostitute, an aging crime boss with a heart condition looking to get out of the game alive, a mechanic determined to avenge the death of his unborn child, and a female cop who is attacked by thugs and takes matters into her own hands." Hit the jump for more on City State.
Variety reports that Massett and Zinman will relocate the Icelandic original to a Stateside setting. The duo, who previously worked together on the television series Friday Night Lights, Caprica and The Finder, also recently submitted a 2010 Black List script, Gold, concerning securities exchange fraud in the U.S. Michael Mann and Paul Haggis are teamed up to direct and produce that project, respectively.
EOne has acquired U.K. and Canada rights to Olaf de Fleur's "City State," a crime thriller that has been snapped up for international distribution by Hengameh Panahi's Gallic sales-production house Celluloid Dreams.
Panahi is also bringing "City State" sequel "Brave Men's Blood" to the Cannes Market.
The eOne buy, Celluloid Dreams' double pickup and other early reactions to "City State" — including negotiations for a U.S. remake with a view to James Mangold ("Knight and Day") directing — mark Iceland's de Fleur ("The Amazing Truth About Queen Raquela") as a talent to track.

Restaurants that require minimum for debit/credit card payments
Does anyone know if it is legal for businesses in California to demand a minimum purchase before they will accept your debit or credit card?
Don't want to shut down a good Chow source just keep them honest.
All businesses can put minimums on charge cards, It is a way of limiting high CC fees on nuisance charges. Businesses can offer different prices for cash sales vs.
re: ospreycove
According to creditcards.com "Purchase amounts: Merchants cannot impose minimum or maximum purchase amounts for credit card transactions." It is considered a minor transgression.
re: ospreycove
That's it. I'm not sure that I want the government to legislate to that level. The state credit card police tagging a store for minimum purchase requirements.
re: ospreycove
Yes, I think there have been a few posts on CH about this in the past.
Personally, if the minimum credit card charge is reasonable (< $20), I don't see what the big deal is. Restaurants generally operate on very slim margins. I wouldn't feel right about putting a $5 lunch special on a credit card. I know there are posters who feel that "rules are rules." I just don't see it that way.
re: Miss Needle
Not that it's relevant to California law, but in NYC, minimums have been illegal for a while. (I think by local rather than state law but I don't remember at this point.) For a while they were enforcing it strictly at all levels, but seem to have backed off from smaller merchants. These days, I rarely see a customer argue over what are generally reasonable minimums, but I've also never seen a merchant refuse a charge when "reminded" of the law.
re: Miss Needle
I agree with Miss Needle, especially in this economy and it's a local restaurant.
re: ospreycove
Is a cup of coffee a nuisance charge? I see people at Starbucks charging coffee all the time.
re: ospreycove
It's a nuisance for me waiting behind someone like that (ha ha)....what people don't carry around a couple bucks for a cup of coffee these days?
re: monku
Plenty? Probably at least 20-25% of the people I know don't routinely carry cash, or just carry a twenty or something for emergencies. And it doesn't take any longer to swipe a debit card than to hand over cash and have the cashier pull out the correct change. Or, God forbid, have the customer decide *they* want to pay with correct change and then spend 5 minutes digging around for those last couple of pennies. I'll make an effort to use cash at smaller places but I have zero remorse about debiting at Starbucks and it doesn't bother me if the people in front of me in line want to as well.
re: ErnieD
This issue is not about "The 20-25% of the people who don't carry cash. It is about a business decision of the OWNER. The Owner decides what is good or not good for his/her business. If his/her decision proves to be detrimental to the business; so be it , it was the OWNERS decision.
Having said that Starbucks business model is built on high turn rapid transaction time. That is Starbucks decision,they still have crappy coffee!!!!!!
re: ospreycove
Well, of course it is the decision of the owner, but the fact that some people don't carry cash has to factor in. I don't have any idea what percentage of people actually don't carry cash-I was giving a wildly general guesstimate of my self-selected acquaintance. But I usually don't, so if an establishment requires I'm going to skip it for any kind of impulse stops. I don't hold a grudge or think they're doing the wrong thing; I just don't go there unless what they serve is good enough to warrant a second stop. I was just responding to the monku implying that everyone has cash and that it takes longer to swipe a card than to pay cash-neither one of these are true in my experience.
I agree with you about Starbucks coffee for the most part. But they have wireless and there's one right down the street from where my stepson get out of football practice at a highly variable time every day. So it's a choice between there, a grocery store, or the parking lot in 108 degree heat for the wait, which highly increases it's appeal :)
re: ospreycove
You are correct. It is up to the owner, to decide what the payment methods will be. If they limit that to cash, and then fail, there is a lesson to be learned. If they limit to cash, and succeed, then they have enough patrons, who carry the cash in their pockets.
Now, besides a cache of credit cards, I also carry between US$400 and 600 in cash. However, I hate to be limited.
Had a recent event at a major, local resort, where I wanted to purchase wine for the table that I was hosting. I looked over the wine list, and made my choices. I handed the waiter my AMEX card, only to be told, "we only take cash for wines." Well, as I was about to buy US$1500 in wine for my table, I told her to cancel that order, and we'd get by with the event wines.
Had similar at an event with a non-hosted bar. When I handed my credit card to the bartender, I was told that it was too much trouble for them to process a credit card, and they would only accept cash. I paid for my four guest's drinks with my cash, and promptly canceled three events at that resort. In the end, I would guess that they lost about US$150,000 in business, due to that policy. Just saw that they were in receivership. So, while the owner does make the rules - the patrons vote with their pocketbooks - or their credit cards, as the case might be.
re: Bill Hunt
When a restaurant/Bar gets in financial trouble, one of the first things to go is credit card acceptance.
If the establishment accepts and processes the card. the net amount is credited to their bank account. Under the Uniform Commercial Code Article 3 (US LAW) a bank may set off a customer's funds if the customer has defaulted on a loan. So if the restaurant is behind on payments to the bank, the bank can grab the dposit and leave the resaturant unable to pay wages or suppliers.
A restaurant in trouble will take the cash and pay the employees in cash and pay vendors (who likely have cut off credit) in cash in order to keep operating in the futile attempt to save the business.
An establishment who stops taking credit cards has the smell of a sinking ship and should be avoided. Quality will suffer, as supplies are obtained whereever possible.
re: bagelman01
Also known as "Never keep a bank account at the bank that holds the mortgage on your house" theory from finance / banking 101.
re: ospreycove
of course, that owner decided to accept credit cards and part of that was accepting the terms the CC company lays out, which prohibits minimum charges.
re: jgg13
even if that is true and part of the contract with the CC company I personally think wherever possible we should try to help small businesses by paying cash for under $10. They lose a percentage of the sale AND a one off swipe charge. Small businesses often have a higher swipe charge and are less able to negotiate a good percentage charge. I think Discover is 5% and around 50-75c for every swipe.
re: smartie
See downthread - it is very recently no longer true.
In a hypothetical world where what I said was still true - if you want to help them out, feel free, but htey shouldn't be allowed to intentionally break the rules like that. IOW - you might be correct that the right thing to do is to pay cash, but they also should not be posting minimums. It's all academic now anyways.
re: monku
I never pay cash for coffee.
It's in fact faster (at Starbucks anyway) for the barrista to swipe and return your card than to take your money and punch in the price in the register and give you change back (or to sort through the money if you give exact change). With a credit card, you don't even need to sign anymore.
re: monku
Just my own personal experience as a cashier - a substancial number of people swipe their card for a single pack of gum, a bottle of soda, or even a single lollipop.
I myself don't often have cash on me during the school semester because my work and school hours greatly impair my ability to get to the bank within their open hours.
That's easy, then.
If they are a good Chow source, then play by their rules. Why shut down a good place over a rule like this? Pretend they are cash only and enjoy!
re: LuckyCharm
LuckyCharm is 100% correct.
re: tzurriz
Yeah, the new rule (Durbin Amendment if you're particularly interested) also allows them to charge different (read: less) amounts if you use debit as opposed to credit. It does NOT allow them to charge different amounts for different credit card companies, e.g. Visa vs. AMEX.
Also, the highest the minimum can be is pretty low, something like $10 under the new rule, but don't quote me.
First, I am not an attorney. I am also not a resident of the state of CA, so this is just my opinion, and little more.
I have no issue with furnishing my credit card, when making reservations to most restaurants. I think that they need some sort of commitment, and am happy to furnish that.
Now, I know many, who will make reservations at a half-dozen restaurants, and decide at the last minute. Many will just stiff the restaurants, that were not chosen. I feel that this is in bad taste, and will call internationally to cancel, if I cannot dine there. That is my choice.
When I do make a reservation, that is my bond, and I do not mind a card being taken. If I cannot make it, I fully expect to pay a cancellation fee, and gladly admit that, when I cancel. Restaurants are designed to make money. If I deny them the opportunity, I need to cover my cancellation.
Just personal observations, with no legalities involved.
Good luck,
I don't mind this practice as long as it's well posted. Some low volume restaurants have horrible contracts with credit card companies and may be paying a percentage of the transaction and a flat fee of up to $3 for each transaction. I wouldn't allow credit cards for small purchases if that were the case in my restaurant either.
I believe that the new federal law allows businesses to refuse payment by credit card if the amount is under $10.00. If it's for more than that, they must accept your card.
I puzzled by your desire to cause a "good chow source" grief.
Credit cards are one of those "hidden" costs of doing business. I say hidden, because there are so many types of cards, that when you look at the card, you don't know what the fee will actually be. There are "qualified" and "unqualified" cards, and many weird tiers in-between. These differences result in differences in fees to the retailer/restaurant can be significant. Hopefully the new legislation will clarify this some, but that remains to be seen.
So, if it's a good place, stop by the ATM and be a friend, rather than try and "keep them honest"... to who? The credit card gougers?
Just pay cash. The owner will love you, the servers will love you, everyone will be in love.
re: mrbigshotno.1
Except for maybe me (or someone like me) the patron. They seem to be the forgotten figure in this equation.
However, we can decide where to, or not to, dine.
re: Bill Hunt
Bill- I think you're overshooting. The establishment in the OP does take CCs, just apparently not for small charges, that's why the post was about a minimum charge, not about the practice of taking cards in general. It sounds like you carry enough cash to cover a cup of coffee, or other small ticket.
re: cheesemonger
Yes, upon a reread with a bit more time, I think that you are correct.
For a minimum charge, I will change my stance.
Thank you for pointing that out to me - greatly appreciated,
re: mrbigshotno.1
99.9% of the time I just pay cash. I'm glad to know that possibly people love me. My boyfriend thinks the waitress at one of our Sunday morning diners loves me, but I digress. The only drawback of the cash paying is the dreaded "daily special" that we won't tell you how much it costs. I know we did another thread on this, but it makes me so crazy.
re: mrbigshotno.1
the IRS will not be in love with anyone. dealing in cash can be a nightmare.
re: KaimukiMan
More credit card theft happens in restaurants than anywhere else.
re: monku
you just can't win.
im waiting for the time when the server will show up at the table with an e-pad that has your tab, you swipe your card across the e-pad, and if you want, it will add the tip based on either the amount you specify or on the percentage you select.
Certainly not foolproof (nothing is with technology) but a much better way of dealing with it than what we do now. Can you imagine letting the cashier at the supermarket or the department store walk off with your credit card... yikes.
re: KaimukiMan
"im waiting for the time when the server will show up at the table with an e-pad that has your tab, you swipe your card across the e-pad"
I think that day is here.
Got this new Starbucks iPhone app and you flash your iPhone screen at a receiver at the cash register and it will debit your Starbucks card (only available at Starbucks at Target Dept. stores right now).
One of my credit cards and has that "wireless" symbol on it, I guess you don't even need to swipe it through the machine anymore.
re: KaimukiMan
I believe that "swiping" at your table technology exists now.
Think I saw it mentioned somewhere in a CH post.
re: jfood
As usual, you make a great point. However, all is not nice there.
Going back two years, we used three cards for three dining sessions at a favorite restaurant in Mayfair, UK. All three got nicked. At first, the issuing banks could not figure out what happened, other than just some card numbers were stolen.
When it was just ours, we accepted that we needed a new account number, and nothing was charged. People were just picked up with the number.
Next day, my wife mentioned that her corporate card had also been compromised in the UK. Odd, but no big, red flags - yet.
Next day, our President of Philanthropy pointed out that HER corporate card had been compromised.
Time to do some thinking. Where on Earth had all three of these cards been used at the same time, and in the UK? No brainer for me - Le Boudin Blanc in Shepard Market, Mayfair. We'd dined there many times over the years, but on that trip, we dined there three times. First one was on me. Second one was business, and my wife paid. Third meal was a board dinner, and the other lady paid with her card. I called the issuing bank, and gave them the details.
I was immediately contacted by Interpol. They wanted details, and I had them, including dates, amounts and exactly when each card was used. They thanked me.
In a few days, I was contacted by Interpol again, but by another agent. He went over the details, and asked a few more questions, like did you see any autos parked on Trebeck Street with drivers inside? Of course I did. Every street in Mayfair has autos parked, with the drivers waiting for their charges. "About half of those are the Russian Mafia, and they are monitoring all credit card transactions," was the reply. He went on to comment that "by the time the restaurant has logged your credit card, that number has been sold several times." Oh, made me feel comfortable. He commented that they were working to shut these folk down, but due to diplomatic immunity, could not touch most of them - only the people, who buy the numbers from them. Did not make me feel any better.
Just something to think about, when using the little Euro wireless card swipers.
Our charities' suppliers claim that their wireless cannot be hacked into, and that their batting average is perfect. As anyone, who works with computers and security will tell you - no plan is perfect, and it seems that some in Europe/UK are pretty imperfect.

I love, love, LOVE the fact that I can say that I've done just that many times now! HOORAY for Square and iPads and happy small businesses! Look how far we've come in less that two years.
As long as the visa logo master card logo is not posted on the store's Entrance door, If it is then report them to the card company.
re: a1wholesaleguy
While contacting a credit card company may make you feel good, your advice in no way addresses the OP's question as to thge legality of a minimum sales amount to use a debit or credit card in California.
The merchant agreement between a merchant and credit card company is a private contract, it in no way established LAW (something governments do, and yes I am an attorney).
Furthermore, what good would it do a consumer who saw a MasterCard or Visa logo on a store door and was told there was a minimum sales amount for using his/her Discover or American Express card?
re: bagelman01
That's obvious your an attorney since you didn't answer the OP's Question to the best of your Knowledge with out a fee.
Government has cause to intervene in the price-setting process only under two conditions: when markets are monopolized by a single provider (think of your local electric utility) or when providers collude to set prices.
Neither condition applies.
In Lay Man's term's if you Don't See The Visa Or Master card Logo on the front door of the store It's more than likely your going to be charged a fee to use a card .
As the expression goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
re: a1wholesaleguy
I didn't answer as to whether or not the practice is legal under California law, as I passed the Connecticut Bar and do my business here, I do not pretend to be well versed in California state law. In fact, it would be irresponsible for me to offer a legal opinion based on unknown (to me) California law
Fees have nothing to do with my posts, and you make erroneous assumptions and owe me an apology.
re: bagelman01
Beginning January 27, 2013, merchants in the United States and U.S. Territories will be permitted to impose a checkout fee on consumers when they use a credit card. Link To , Visa
re: a1wholesaleguy
re: a1wholesaleguy
The OP didn't ask about the legality of a merchant charging a fee. He/she asked if it was legal (or permissible) to require a minimum purchase amount for a credit/debit card transaction.
re: carolinadawg
On the same Visa site referenced above,if you do a search for "minimum" you will find that a minimum of not more than $10 is permissible.
re: a1wholesaleguy
Why? And to what end?
re: carolinadawg
re: a1wholesaleguy
I see no moral reason or legal obligation to do that. I'm all for helping a small local business and if I'm buying something small, I know they have fees per transaction, take that into account, and there's no reason not to ask up front what the minimum charge for a debit/credit card is- how hard is that? If i'm getting a $5 item, a small service charge is okay.
re: EWSflash
The other day, I was in a local bagel shop behind 15 teenagers. Sign on the front door and on the counter said "$5 minimum for credit cards." Each kid ordered their sandwich, asked the price, and ordered something else to make the total EXACTLY $5. Then they used their credit card to pay. Customers behind the kids got pissed, counter guys got pissed. As I was leaving, signs were removed and replaced with "$10 minimum for credit cards."

Amazon Starts Renting Out Textbooks
Amazon Starts Renting Out Textbooks
As a student, textbooks are indispensable. But most of us don't really know what to do with them once we're done. Do we sell them or throw them down the chute?
Amazon has made it easier (and cheaper as well) by including many textbooks in digital format. And to sweeten the deal, Amazon also provides the rental of textbooks for those who may not be needing them any longer than a semester. Rental can be for a month or even up to a year. And you get to keep your annotations and notes even after your rental has expired.

Last month, I participated in the Librarians' Research Institute, sponsored by CARL and hosted by Carleton University in lovely Ottawa. The LRI is a 3 1/2 day workshop developed by librarians, for librarians to "provide practicing academic librarians in Canada an opportunity to immerse themselves in sustained conversations and activities related to scholarly research, inquiry, and publishing." This was the 3rd iteration.
What was it like?
The Institute brought together 30+ librarians from across Canada including, for the first time, colleagues from non-CARL and Quebec institutions. It was a diverse and engaged group, with a wide variety of research experience. I am firmly at the novice end of the spectrum, but never felt as though that meant I had less to contribute. I was impressed by the level of focus — no one was multitasking (unheard of!). I am fortunate to have made connections with such an ambitious and inquisitive bunch.
The entire thing was run by 5 'Peer Mentors' – practicing librarians who are accomplished researchers. Our Peer Mentors were: Selinda Berg (Windsor, also the LRI Co-Chair), Cara Bradley (U Regina), Marwin Britto (U Saskatchewan), Pascal Lupien ( U Guelph), and Tony Horava (U Ottawa). They represented different career paths, research interests, and methodological leanings. The Institute was very thoughtfully planned, including a variety of formats, and it is clear that a whole lot of heart went into this.
Given the differing levels of experience and reasons for attending, I expect that the 'take aways' were highly personal. These are mine:
Know Yourself
Take into consideration your temperament and strengths when designing a research project. It's okay and, in fact, wise to play to those strengths. For example, if you are introverted, you may not want to be cold-calling dozens of interview subjects. Some librarians might work best in collaboration, some might not. We don't have a strict model, since we operate across the disciplines.
And pick something that excites *you*. That will help to sustain you through what can be a long, hard slog.
Remember the Broad Spectrum of Methods
Somewhat related to the first idea, I was reminded of the wide variety of research methods available to us! We discussed the categories: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Critical/ Theoretical. It was suggested that LIS tends to value quantitative methods & we have lots of love for a good ol' survey. But that doesn't make the other methods less valid! Don't feel locked in by the methods that have high occurrence in our field.
Heck, you can even invent your own damn method.
Do Your Homework
Also, there are plenty of strong reference books on research methods — whether in LIS or broader fields of study. Use them. They might just have smart things to tell you.
We were discussing a scenario & the notion of assessing student confidence came up. I suggested that this is really hard to do & someone pointed me to a major researcher on this topic. Ahh right. I had recently been involved in creating a survey to assess the effectiveness of a library tutorial & we stumbled through the design of measurements, completely in isolation. I bemoaned the fact that we didn't think to do some RESEARCH on the topic. This is a case in which research should have informed my practice, but it did not. That said, I am resolved to try and think bigger picture next time around.
Focus on the Positive
From the start, the peer mentors acknowledged that there are very real barriers for librarians doing research (lack of time, skills, support, etc.). But, throughout the institute, they effectively maintained a strengths focus: Yes, barriers exist — so, what are strategies to overcome them? I believe this will be a useful lens for re-starting these conversations back at my home institution.
For example, we talked about the importance of making our research work more visible. Whether that means blocking 'research' time in our shared calendars, or negotiating that you will temporarily withdraw from another task in order to focus on your project.
LRI Resources & Exercises
The workshop materials included a few gems that I will refer back to, including: a list of peer-reviewed LIS journals, tools to help you articulate your research question, and a compendium of research methods complete with examples of each method in the LIS field. Unfortunately, the program materials cannot be shared publicly online.
Several of the exercises really stuck with me. For example, in groups of three, we worked to articulate our research themes. The feedback from group members was very insightful. In another exercise, we discussed whether practice informs our research, or vice versa. The group talked about setting goals: One peer mentor said that she had her research goals posted in her office (ex. Submit 2 articles to peer-reviewed journals in 2014).
Where does that leave me?
Despite the personal nature of the experience, one thing I expect all attendees had in common: It was a rare privilege to focus on research for 3 1/2 days straight, with support from the these mentors and fellow participants.
I returned from the LRI to a mountain of Summer Projects, as we do. So, truthfully my energies are focused elsewhere right now.
But the LRI came at a good time for me: I am trying to build towards something. I've written a review essay which is currently in the editorial process. This past year, I've served as a peer reviewer for two LIS journals. This is all helping to build my confidence & understanding of the mechanics of publishing. And now, with this 'research bootcamp' under my belt, I feel better equipped to move forward.

The hella hot catsuit arrived today!
Now I face too many possibilities!
I went shopping today and picked up some last minute how-do-I-Black-Widow stuff to make the wrist gear/belt but the thing I really wanted seemed to be sold out so I'm unsure how it'll turn out.
If I do decide to craft I dunno what time we will leave for ikki.
We can either drive to Austin with in the next hour (and say fuck wearing Black Widow) or finish Widow and drive down when ever (most likly putting us to arrive exhausted and/or late afternoon.)
If I don't wear Widow then I've got
God Tier Vriska-which seems cool since the entirety of the #ikkicon tag is homestuck although doing dat make-up will not be fun if day tripping.
Kissogram Amy- Still got all my gear, easy wear but I look rather like a barrel.
Fionna-Haven't fussed with her since Halloween but I did feel so fuck kawaii you just don't even know.
I think I stated this post with the intention to ask for opinions but I am now concluding that I just need time.Then I can lougne around here for a while longer and ponder the pros and cons of each, while eating all the donut holes and cuddling with my kitty-cat.
Also, my new catsuit is fan-fucking-tastic.
I need to take in the waist but I have decided to call it my Self-Esteem Suit since I feel x10 hotter when wearing it. The above photo was literally taken first thing after I woke up this
morning afternoon, minutes after the package arrived.
See you folks at ikki tomorrow!

It started once in chocolate,
It ended up in coke,
It found its way in music pangs,
Like vipers deadly fangs…
This poison spread like fire,
Throughout each state and home,
Now that it's an epidemic,
To legalize they're prone.
It started in candy,
Then ended-up in schools;
It spread when they thought the Bible...
"Was not-a-good Golden-rule...!"
It started in the homes,
When kids had nowhere to play;
It took its toll and boomeranged-,
Back on our heads to stay…!
Now it's in our churches,
For each old aged-gran;
'Cause Steroids aren't just for boxers,
It's for everyone across the land.
It seems the government has the market,
For every cause and lure;
Oh yea, drugs are really big business,
Or they would have found a cure!

| Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton | November 04, 2011
The United States is the single largest domestic user of energy and spends more than $9 billion to power its vehicles, operations, and approximately 500,000 facilities throughout the country. Camp Pendleton hosted an annual Energy Awareness event, Nov. 3 at the Mainside Plaza to educate Marines and sailors about energy efficiency.::r::::n:: (Photo by Photo by Lance Cpl. Michelle S. Mattei)
Ceramics are on display for patrons to pick out, paint and then have fired at Camp Pendleton's Arts and Crafts Hobby Shop, located on Mainside. The hobby shop offers different activities for residents of all ages to enjoy at little to no cost. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Michelle S. Mattei)
The Arts and Crafts Hobby Shop, located on Mainside, Bldg. 13113, is an inexpensive place for patrons to enjoy artistic hobbies such as woodworking, cake decorating, ceramics, sewing, pottery, guitar lessons and many other activities.
"[Creating] produces satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment that is hard to match with any other pastime," according to the hobby shop's official website. "The idea of pursuing a creative hobby can be easily lost if you live in the barracks or are on a tight budget, so the base hobby shop was created over 50 years ago aboard Camp Pendleton to bring the idea of 'creating' to our Military and their families."
The hobby shop has grown into a unique facility catering to military members, families and children of all ages. A large variety of classes are offered at beginner levels so that everyone can participate, regardless of their skill level.
"Creativity is starting to dwindle with the new era of technology available to everyone," said Brittni Young, assistant manager, Arts and Crafts Hobby Shop. "We offer a wide range of classes so that everyone can get in touch with their creative side and show their true potential."
Instructors lead classes that offer one-on-one instruction and hands-on activities to make sure the participants get a good grasp on their activities. The facility is also open Wednesday through Friday, 12 to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for those who wish to explore their creative talents on their own.
"I love coming here to paint ceramics for my kids," said Joyanne Tutt, a Marine spouse and frequent visitor of the shop. "It's a fun and cheap way to create lifelong memories."
The shop is not just a place for people to hone their crafts or learn a new hobby, according to the website. It provides patrons with a sense of creativity and satisfaction.

SAN FRANCISCO, California - The Smartfood brand, with support from SELF magazine, today released the list of the Top 10 SMARTest Cities in America – with San Francisco taking the top spot. The brand also announced its nationwide SMART Search 2013 contest – giving fans across the country the chance to be celebrated for having "smart in the bag" – aligning with the Smartfood brand values of eating and living well. Fans can go to www.Facebook.com/Smartfood to nominate someone they know or themselves to be named the winner of the SMART Search 2013. The contest winner will be featured in the September issue of SELF magazine and receive $10,000 in prize money. Smartfood is one of the many brands from PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division.
Today's announcement is part of the Smartfood brand's summer-long effort to celebrate what it means to live SMART. To start, the brand broadened and redefined "SMART" by combining five criteria to align with the Smartfood brand's goal of living and eating well. Each letter stands for a specific area of focus: Savvy, Motivated, Accomplished, Responsible and Thoughtful. Based on these criteria, the Top 10 SMARTest Cities as ranked by the Smartfood brand include:
1.San Francisco, Calif.
2.Seattle, Wash.
3.Washington, D.C.
4.Austin, Texas
5.Minneapolis, Minn.
6.Portland, Ore.
7.Denver, Colo.
8.Boston, Mass.
9.Honolulu, Hawaii
10.San Jose, Calif.
To celebrate San Francisco's achievement as the nation's SMARTest city, the Smartfood brand has asked Brooke Burke-Charvet to be in Union Square Park today from Noon to 3 p.m. Burke-Charvet, TV personality, SELF magazine celebrity favorite and co-host of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," is an amazing example of living and eating SMART through her motivation, passion for philanthropy and balanced active lifestyle. Fans will have the opportunity to participate in SMART showdowns for the chance to win cool prizes, experience a 10-minute bootcamp workout by SELF fitness editor, Marissa Stephenson, and enjoy free Smartfood product samples. The Smartfood brand will also collect submissions for its SMART Search 2013 contest throughout the afternoon. For San Franciscans not able to make it out to Union Square, brand ambassadors will be passing out Smartfood product samples near four BART stations.
"We are excited to be in San Francisco today with Brooke Burke-Charvet and SELF magazine," said Dave Skena, vice president of marketing for Frito-Lay. "As we continue to share what it means to live and snack SMART, we figured there was no better place to launch our SMART Search than in our choice for the country's SMARTest City."
"I've always believed that living smart goes far beyond book smarts," said Burke-Charvet, TV host, personality and entrepreneur, known for her SMART lifestyle. "That is why it's so great what the Smartfood brand is doing – taking its own brand mantra of having 'smart in the bag' and creating a larger conversation about what it means to live SMART. I can only hope this will inspire more people to live a conscious lifestyle."
Making smart choices is what the Smartfood brand has always been about. The Smartfood brand offers a line of snacks including popcorn, puffed corn and popped chip varieties with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Last year, the Smartfood brand introduced Smartfood Selects, which boast smart flavor combinations of real herbs and spices, providing delicious snack options. The brand's careful pairing of select ingredients creates perfectly complementary, unforgettably delicious flavors to spice up snack time. Smartfood snacks are available at retailers nationwide and online through Amazon.com. For more information, visit www.Smartfood.com.
About the SMARTest City
The SMARTest City list was compiled using a combination of five criteria:
•Savvy measured the availability of balanced foods using 2012 per capita concentrations of farm-to-table restaurants, health food stores and farmers markets.
•Motivated measured the physical activity level in a city using existing city rankings for walkability and bikeability and the American College of Sports Medicine's American Fitness Index.
•Accomplished measured education using the 2012 Scarborough study of people with college degrees as a percent of the total city population.
•Responsible measured environmental stewardship using the 2012 National Resource Defense Council ranking of green cities.
•Thoughtful measured philanthropy using the Chronicle of Philanthropy's 2012 charitable cities ranking.
About the SMART Search 2013 Contest
From now until July 7, the Smartfood brand is conducting a nationwide SMART Search to reward someone who has "smart in the bag" – is savvy and lives a balanced lifestyle, motivated to get regular physical activity, accomplished by achieving their educational, career and life goals, responsible in her or his care for the planet and thoughtful when it comes to philanthropic efforts. For official rules and to nominate someone you know, or yourself, please visit www.Facebook.com/Smartfood. Only one nomination per person. The winner will be featured in a SELF magazine advertorial and win $10,000 in prize money. In addition, every person who submits a nomination will receive a "Buy One, Get One" coupon for Smartfood Selects products.
