Fourth of four parts. Read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. It's mid-afternoon by the time I'm off to Oak Bluffs at the opposite end of Martha's Vineyard. This route, roads decidedly more clogged than during the morning hours, takes Martha's Vineyard Transit Authority passengers past the Martha's Vineyard Family Campground (569 Edgartown Road Vineyard Haven, 508-693-3772, campmv.com) and the Island Alpaca Company (1 Head of the Pond Road, Oak Bluffs, 508-693-5554, www.islandalpaca.com) Our bus stops not too far from the historic Flying Horses Carousel, and just a few steps from Oak Bluffs Harbor, where dozens of boaters are enjoying the afternoon summer sun with cocktails on deck, or at various establishments just steps away ashore. Next
The casual dining and drinking atmosphere at Coop de Ville (Dockside Marketplace, Oak Bluffs, 508-693-3420, www.coopdevillemv.com) which serves wings, seafood, and a raw bar just steps from the docks at Oak Bluffs, reflects the laissez-faire feel of this Vineyard town. Next
The nation's oldest platform carousel, the Flying Horses Carousel (15 Lake Ave., Oak Bluffs, 508-693-9481, www.mvpreservation.org/p.php/preservation/community/flying-horses) has delighted children of all ages since 1876, when it operated at a Coney Island amusement park before moving to Oak Bluffs in 1884. When the Martha's Vineyard Preservation Trust took over the carousel in 1986, it restored it to its original glory in order to avoid it being sold off in pieces to collectors. The cost is $2.50 per ride. Next
A souvenir in the arcade ajacent to the carousel. Next
Giordano's (18 Lake Ave., Oak Bluffs, 508-693-0184, giosmv.com) has been serving pizza to the Oak Bluffs area since 1930, with a variety of pizza and a clam bar which the establishment claims was the first on the island. Martha's Vineyard Magazine awarded Giordano's with the prizes for both best pizza and best fried clams in 2011. Next
The Strand Theater hasn't shown movies since 2011, but it still boasts a tribute to the island's illustrious history in film. Next
The most defining images from Oak Bluffs are in the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, a series of gingerbread houses that have been here since 1935. According to the official website, "the founders of the MVCMA were Methodists, and the original bylaws of the Association stipulated that all members of the Board of Directors had to be members of a Methodist church... Today the Campground is a community of summer residents and a smaller number of year-round residents who value the intimacy created by the crowding of cottages on small tent lots. Many of the cottages have been owned by the same families for generations." Next
Some of the homes at the campground located along Jordan Crossing. Next
Mopeds for rent in Oak Bluffs. Certainly one effective way to get around Martha's Vineyard, but how else can you explore all the island has to offer for a $7 all-day ticket like you can on the VTA? Next
Less than 12 hours after arriving on the island, we're back in Vineyard Haven awaiting passage back to the mainland. Martha's Vineyard truly is a most accessible island, even for a day trip, and visitors can rest assured that once they arrive, the ways to get around are easier than one might normally think.

Vi Ripken, mother of baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken and former infielder Billy Ripken, was reportedly involved in another heart-stopping incident on Tuesday. According to the Associated Press, a gunman approached Ripken as she sat in the parking lot of an Aberdeen, Maryland bank during the afternoon hours and demanded she abandon her car.
The report states that Ripken was able to activate the panic alarm in her vehicle, which prompted the gunman to flee the scene immediately. She was unharmed in the incident, and once it was safe to exit her car she went into the bank to alert the proper authorities. A suspect was taken into custody soon after, so it appears Ripken's quick thinking not only saved herself from potential harm, but others as well.
Incredibly, the incident comes just 15 months after Ripken was abducted at gunpoint from her home in Aberdeen and held hostage for 24 hours. The gunman in that incident blindfolded Ripken and drove her around in her car before releasing her unharmed. No arrest has been made, but Cal Ripken — who remained in Los Angeles to call Tuesday's NLCS Game 4 — is offering a $100K reward for information that helps bring the kidnapper to justice.
When you put the two incidents together, it's impossible not to wonder if there's a connection. The police addressed that possibility on Tuesday night.
"There is no indication he had any involvement in last year's case. And there's no indication he knew who she was," Budnick said. "Right now it appears to be a crime of opportunity rather than a targeted issue."
Detectives investigating the incident thought they were familiar with the suspect from descriptions and were able to put a name with the face and track him down, Budnick said. Around 5:45 p.m., the man suspected of confronting Ripken was apprehended while he was walking on Post Road in Aberdeen.
The man was taken to Aberdeen Police Department pending charges and transportation to the Harford County Detention Center. His name was not immediately available.
Related or not, it goes without saying that Vi Ripken has experienced more trauma than any one person should have to. Here's hoping she's able to bounce back once again and continue living her life as freely and normally as she was attempting to do on Tuesday.

Waste Not Wednesdays wk11
Another Wednesday, and that means it's a new week for my little Waste Not Wednesdays challenge - where you can use anything that's been a bit neglected or forgotten, anything at all that needs using. The lovely Sally-Ann at DigiStamp Boutique has offered a fab prize this week, here's what you could win...
The super cute new Easter Collection 2 - aren't they lovely?!
I wasn't sure if I'd even have a card today, I'm not feeling well at all - rotten colds, wish all these germs would get lost! But I popped round to my auntie's this morning with the mother's day cards she ordered from me, and she gave me some Lemsip Max - I felt much better for a while after that, so I made what should have been a quick card.
I've used some Stampin' Up stamps that I haven't inked up until now, they're not exactly old but I hadn't got round to using them yet... and I needed something simple! I also used my new stamp-a-ma-jig, also from Stampin' Up, which I thought would make placing everything on this card a lot easier, but I still binned my first 2 attempts! Anyway, it was made by masking a circle and stamping the alphabet text stamp over it, then masking and inking the circle, I also masked and inked around the edges of the text. The giraffe and sentiment are also Stampin' Up, and I added some ancient pink gems from my stash - they actually match the pale pink much better than the photos show.
When I had the idea for this design, I'd planned on making several of them in different colours, but it drove me so mad I don't think I can be bothered to make any more of them lol!
I also made this for the one-layer 'script' challenge at Less is More - I haven't had time or any CAS ideas for the last couple of weeks so I missed the last 2 challenges - sorry Chrissie and Mandi, hope I'm forgiven!
32 comments:
Gorgeous cards Lisa, I regularly have two or three attempts before I get my entry right for LIM! It's nice to know, sorry hope this doesn't offend, that I'm not the only one lol! Thank you for the comment on my blog and letting me know about this challenge - I hope it's okay to enter this way, I made the card on Monday so it's not an old one hugs Karen x

This range has exceeded my expectations. At another home, we owned a competitor's double range, and it had problems with the broil function. This Jenn-Air range has great performance. The 5 burners are great. The two front burners are higher powered, so it takes no time to boil. The top, smaller oven heats up quickly for baking and is great for toasting and broiling. The bottom oven has plenty of options, including convection bake. I love that the controls are on the top of the unit instead of the front (great for families with small children). It is very easy to use and clean. I've heard complaints about the black top showing stains, but to me, it's far better than a white or grey top. The only downside is that when the timer is finished, it only beeps once (not continuously), so you have to pay attention when you walk away while items are cooking. (there may be a way to change this, but I haven't read the entire manual yet).

Terrible, terrible waste of money.

It was a great idea but so poorly executed that the people responsible should be fired. I WILL NEVER, EVER, BUY A JEN AIR PRODUCT AGAIN. We paid top dollar fot this top of the line piece of junk from a company that used to have a good reputation. They have lost my business forever. How much do I hate this stove? Let me count the ways:1. Poor quality components. The knobs are cheap plastic that are PAINTED to look like stainless steel. Within a year, ALL of the knobs were broken, and we were controlling the range top burners by the bare stalks sticking up from the stove. Replacing them is prohibitively expensive at $15.00 EACH! At the rate they break, you can expect to spend at least $75.00 per year just to keep the stove in knobs! I tried to find genuine stainless steel knobs that fit, but they don't make them for this stove.2. Poor design of oven doors. Forget cleaning the oven doors - they are designed so that anything spilled seeps in between two glass panels that cannot be cleaned unless the whole stove is taken apart. You must pay a technician to do this - ours charged us $150.00 just to clean the oven doors. I should have been able to simply wipe the front clean, but this isn't possible with this horrible stove. After living with the ugly mess for over a year, I broke down and had it done. How long can you go without spilling something in your kitchen? If you do it anywhere near this stove, it will seep down in between the panels and your kitchen will look like you are a trashy person who never cleans. And there is NOTHING you can do about it.3. Poor design of the stove top. There are 5 burners on this stovetop, but only 2 of them are really useable because they are so crammed together that there isn't room for each of them to have a pot. A lot of room is wasted on giving PLENTY of space to the knobs, that are mindlessly placed on the stove top, taking up an inordinate amount of room, when they should have been placed on the front of the range, leaving enough room for all burners to be functional. And the back burners are tucked under a strange overhang that prevents you from putting a pot on the back burners at all! What kind of college educated moron designed this???? YIKES! Did they not have any test kitchens?4. Unreliable and DANGEROUS technology. The gas burners are not reliable. I cannot count the number of times I put a pot on to boil, only to smell gas a few minutes later. I had to go out and buy a hot plate to make soups and other long cooking items to prevent gas from killing us all. And the ignition sparks are a joke! They will turn themselves on without warning at any time - day or night! They go berserk and then you cannot turn them off! The only way we can get this dangerous sparking to stop is to unplug the stove - and then the ovens won't work. This happened to us on Christmas eve, forcing us to cook Christmas dinner in the toaster oven. We have already had two oven heating elements burn out without warning, as well as the whole electronic control panel.5. Complicated and not user friendly. Nuff said.This experience has soured me on Jen Air. I thought this was a first rate company, and after spending $50,000 on a complete kitchen remodel, I wanted the best appliances. That is why I purchased top of the line from a reputable company. Very, very sorry I ever did business with people whose only claim to quality is their name.

Loved It!!
By Jules

About Me Avid Cook
Comments about Jenn-Air 30" Double Oven Free-Standing Dual-Fuel Range in Stainless Steel:
I bought this range in 2006 and LOVED it!! I have since moved and am now trying to find a quality dual fuel double oven range to put in my new home. It is proving to be impossible! I am so sad that this has been discontinued. I primarily used the small upper oven, but it was extremely helpful and time efficient to have the larger lower oven for holiday meals & baking, dinner parties and casual baking. Aside from the double oven, I really enjoyed having gas burners and even heating with the electric ovens. Finding a dual fuel double oven has become nearly impossible. The one small complaint is that the stove top was a bit hard to keep clean. But, it was easy enough to throw the grates in the dishwasher while I scrubbed the top. Guess I should've taken my Jen-Air with me when I moved! :'(
Service and delivery comments:
I purchased my Jen-Air through Midwest TV & Appliance. The staff is knowledgeable and the customer service is impeccable.

About Me Gourmet Chef
The Electronic controls are the worst piece of design of this oven. The placement, design and overall reliability of the electronics is a scandal. Worst Electronics design ever. I do not recommend this particular oven if you are an expert cook. It's a pricey piece of garbage.

Love my Jenn-Aire
By Lovin'MyRange
from Columbia,TN
I saw this range several years ago at [...]t but it wasn't in the budget. Jenn Aire is a trusted name in cooking appliances and I liked the features. I grew up with gas cooking and wanted the instant on/off heat that it provides. I love the 5 burner feature of this model and the double ovens with convection. The top oven is perfect for pizzas and cookies, as well as making dessert while the entree is cooking.The closed burners on the top make clean up a breeze - no more messy spills that are hard to get to under the electic elements of my old stove top. I hope to be able to have as many good things to say about this range in a couple of years after it is well broken in.
By TKB
from Ruidoso, NM.
This is without a doubt, the best range I've owned. Because it has the smaller oven/broiler up top, it's perfect for two. It can handle anything if you take time to find out about all the things it can do. I could not be happier with this range, not even with a "professional" model. This range rocks!!!

Jenn Air Double Oven, Dual Fuel Range
By HCW
from Crofton, MD
Initially wanted to purchase a competitor's double oven gas range. However, I found a great price on this range and purchased it at a cost significantly less than the competitor's range. All I can say is WOW - I love this range. I have used both ovens as well as the convection feature for the lower oven. My kitchen is small, so having two ovens works well in my small space. I have been cooking with natural gas for many years and was surprised at finding a slide-in range with 5 gas burners - count them - 5 gas burners! This appliance is amazing. When I told my husband how much I loved this range, he said 'now you know how I feel about my skeet shotgun'. I would definitely recommend purchasing this range to anyone.

Google is back in the smartphone sales business. The Samsung-built Galaxy Nexus went on sale Tuesday in the Google Play store for $399 — completely unlocked, as well as unladen by carrier contract fees.
The handset, like the Nexus One and Nexus S smartphones before it, runs an unaltered version of Android 4, the OS better known to gadget enthusiasts as Ice Cream Sandwich. The OS is just as Google originally designed it, free of any software additions or interface skins introduced by carrier partners.
Hardware-wise, the Galaxy Nexus sold directly by Google is essentially the same Galaxy Nexus being sold by Sprint and Verizon. Each version has the same 4.65-inch, Super AMOLED, 1280×720 display, the same 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 5-megapixel rear camera.
Nonetheless, there are still a few key differences among all the phone versions.
Like the Sprint version, the direct-from-Google variant works with the Google Wallet mobile payments system. And while the Sprint and Verizon versions (both selling for $200 on a 2-year contract) pack 32GB of storage, the Google-sold version comes with just 16GB of storage.
Finally, the direct-from-Google version is sold "unlocked," and can operate on both GSM and HSPA+ cellular networks used by T-Mobile, AT&T and smaller regional carriers.
The Galaxy Nexus' arrival in Google Play marks the first time that Google has directly sold a phone to customers since it hawked the Nexus One, built by HTC, back in 2010. The Nexus One launched in January 2010 and by the following July, the sales experiment was over.
There's no word yet on how long Google plans to sell the Galaxy Nexus, or if it will start selling other physical goods (a tablet maybe?) in Google Play. Nonetheless, the phone is listed under a new "devices" section of the online store, so maybe we'll see more gadgets listed there someday.
Andy Rubin, the senior vice president at Google who oversees the company's Android business, said in a blog post that the move to sell the Galaxy Nexus was made with the consumer in mind.
"We want to give you a place to purchase Nexus devices that work really well with your digital entertainment," Rubin said, noting that Google is also throwing in a $10 Google Wallet credit too.
For now, Google is only selling the unlocked Galaxy Nexus in the U.S., but the company plans to sell the phone in other countries as well.

O.C. boys volleyball preview: Top 10, players to watch
Here is the preseason boys volleyball top 10. Voting for the next top 10 will take place Monday, March 11.
O.C. Top 10
1. Huntington Beach: Perhaps the most talented team in the county, Oilers have a solid senior group with a mix of young contributors.
2. Dana Hills: The Dolphins also have good group of returning players, led by junior Christian Hessenauer and senior Bryce Yould.
3. San Clemente: The South Coast League matches between the Tritons and Dana Hills will be must-see stuff.
4. Newport Harbor: This is the second year under Steve Astor. The Sailors have several pieces that should make them a dangerous team this season.
5. Orange Lutheran: Things are certainly looking up for the Lancers. Last year, they finished in last place in the Trinity League. Now, experienced, the Lancers should be ready to contend in the ultra-competitive Trinity League.
6. Mater Dei: The Monarchs have to fill the vacancy of the graduating John Zappia, but have a lot returning, led by Tucker Pikula, to keep them in thick of the Trinity League race.
7. Esperanza: The Aztecs will have a new look this year due to graduation, but return one of the top juniors in Jake Arnitz. Esperanza is Division 2 this year and will likely be a factor in the race for the CIF title.
8. Corona del Mar: The Sea Kings, who advanced to the CIF-SS Division 2 finals last season, are now in Division 1. CdM graduated eight seniors from last year and will have a lot of new faces contributing.
9. Laguna Beach: This is the second year for the Breakers under coach Scott Panaro. The Breakers have a lot of key contributors returning, led by senior outside hitter Weston Barnes.
10. Servite: The Friars enter the season youthful, but with a loaded nonleague schedule, they will quickly gain some much-needed experience before the start of the Trinity League season.
O.C. Players to watch
Jack Yoder, San Clemente, Sr., S; Christian Hessenauer, Dana Hills; Jr., Opp; Tucker Pikula, Mater Dei, Sr., OH; Matt Butler, Huntington Beach, Sr., S; Lucas Yoder, San Clemente, Sr., OH; Ben Oxnard, Esperanza, Jr., L; Grady Zant, Mater Dei, Sr., S; Jake Arnitz, Esperanza, Jr., Opp; Bryce Yould, Dana Hills, Sr., MB; Andrew TenBrink, Huntington Beach, Sr., MB; Zach Gates, Huntington Beach, Sr., Opp; Kevin Rakestraw; Newport Harbor, Sr., MB; Eric Ctvrtlik, Corona del Mar, Sr., OH/L; Joey Martino, Corona del Mar, Jr., OH; Jason Weedon, Foothill, Sr., OH; Eric Patton, Foothill, Soph, Opp; Clay Carr, Newport Harbor, Jr., OH; Weston Barnes, Laguna Beach, Sr., OH; Maxx McCarter, Laguna Beach, Sr., MB/Opp; Connor McEuen, Servite, Sr., OH; Spencer Lane, El Toro, Sr., OH; Jason Willahan, Mission Viejo, Sr., MB; Reid Dominguez, Orange Lutheran, Sr., OH; Chad McCallister, Marina, Sr., L; Ryan Anselmo, Trabuco Hills, Sr., OH; Andy Carrigar, Yorba Linda, Sr., MB/Opp; Brandon Eichkoff, Yorba Linda, Sr., OH; Michael Such, Mater Dei, Sr., OH; Nick Worrell, Saddleback Valley Christian, Sr., MB

24 Hour Fitness is hoping to encourage Americans to maintain their exercise regimes during the holidays. The average American consumes more than 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat on Thanksgiving Day alone, according to the Caloric Control Council, giving everyone a reason to stay active.
While conventional wisdom holds that the average person gains 5 to 7 pounds during the holidays, a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Medical University of South Carolina found that average weight gain is approximately 1 pound. The researchers found that this weight gain was still present a year later for 85 percent of study participants.
"One extra pound each year adds up over time, and the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year when people indulge – so it's easy to let your fitness routine slip," said Bobbi Quick, senior director of fitness operations, 24 Hour Fitness. "This makes it a critical time to stay committed to your fitness goals. New Year's is just around the corner and a head start can be the perfect motivational boost so January 1 doesn't feel so overwhelming."
24 Hour Fitness offers the following tips to jump-start your New Year's resolutions during the busy holiday season:
* Get social – Take advantage of the complimentary workouts at 24 Hour Fitness clubs during the week of Thanksgiving with friends. Meet them at the gym for a pre-shopping group exercise class, like Zumba®. It will give you an energy boost for a long day on your feet. Even better, after the big meal, round everyone up for a brisk walk or a game of football.
* Make plans – Schedule your workouts like all your other activities so you'll be sure to make time for everything that matters. If you've mastered planning the big get-together, planning a 30-minute cardio routine will be a breeze.
* Squeeze it in – Even if you only have 15 minutes, a quick workout can still help you stay fit. If you're busier than most, try to think of ways to integrate fitness into your day. For example, 50 jumping jacks between basting the turkey and setting the table, can serve as a mental reminder that you're committed to your fitness goals.
* Commit to Racing – Many cities and towns host Thanksgiving Day runs and turkey trots. Competing in your local race will burn calories in advance of turkey time, and serve as an inspiration for friends and family to maintain a healthy lifestyle during the holidays.
To take advantage of the complimentary workouts, guests can simply stop by a 24 Hour Fitness club between now and Nov. 30. *Must be at least 18 years of age and present valid identification.

Steamboat Springs For people who have been waiting for the unrelenting snow banks to allow the Buffalo Pass road to open up access to the Continental Divide north of Steamboat, it's time to make plans.
Hahn's Peak District Ranger Jamie Kingsbury confirmed Wednesday that Forest Road 60 is open to Summit Lake, but it's likely to close down again by Aug. 15 for road construction.
"It's open right now, so head up this weekend and go camping and have a great time, but our engineering department expects that the road will be closed at Dry Lake by Aug. 15," Kingsbury said.
Buffalo Pass is used by backpackers, picnickers heading north into the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area, and mountain bikers riding south on the Continental Divide Trail outside the wilderness. For backpackers in particular, the trailhead near Summit Lake allows them to hike deep into the wilderness without having to gain as much elevation on foot as they do at other wilderness trailheads.
During the upcoming road construction, the summit of the pass would still be accessible from the east side of the Park Range in North Park via Colorado Highway 14 and Jackson County Road 24. But the most convenient access from Steamboat Springs will be shut down at Dry Lake Campground for an indefinite period, Kingsbury said.
A spokeswoman for the Parks Ranger District in Walden confirmed Wednesday that it would be premature to attempt to drive over Buffalo Pass into North Park this weekend – the road is blocked by two substantial snowdrifts 8 miles from the eastern base of the pass.
Kingsbury said that in the long run, this summer's construction project on the west approach to Buffalo Pass would make the road more passable for motorists.
The work involves the installation of 60 drainage culverts. Kingsbury told the Steamboat Today last year that until drainage issues on the dirt and gravel road are remedied, investments in road repairs will not hold up.

Know Your Future Balance with Pending Items
Pending Items shows you an estimated future balance. It uses upcoming Web Pays and Web Branch transfers to project future balances on your accounts.You can increase the accuracy of this balance by adding additional pending items, such as recurring income or expenses.
The future balance can be used to help manage cash flow and identify an opportunity to make a purchase or add to savings or if an account is in danger of overdraft. The new feature can also be used as an online check register.
The best way to get started using this feature (and to make it as accurate as possible), is to use the suggested pending items tool. We'll analyze your recent history and present items that have occurred multiple times. All you have to do is choose which ones you want to include and review how frequently they occur.
From there, you can always add individual items to your pending list. The easiest way to do this is to find the item in your past history and choose "Create Pending Item" from the toolbar on the right (see the first screenshot above). You can also easily edit the amounts of existing pending items by clicking on them.
Pending items will be automatically matched as the actual transactions hit your account. The description, date and amount have to reasonably match. If an item doesn't match, it can easily be removed.
Along with the recurring items, you can also add one-time items like paper checks you write. We'll also automatically include Web Pay paper checks so your balance will more accurately reflect these items until they clear.
You can easily customize which items you want to see and how far into the future we will project by clicking on "Options" in the upper right.
We are really excited to bring this new functionality to Web Branch. With just a few minutes of effort, you can have peace of mind in knowing how much money you'll have in the future and a better overall picture of your financial situation.

This is an awesome feature. Thanks for your innovation.
As a separate request, when are you going to provide read-only application accounts for things like mint and yodlee? I'd love this so I don't have to give out my details? ING Direct has done a pretty decent implementation of this. We don't have any immediate plans to offer read-only feeds of member account information. However, the ING idea is good and would help protect your Web Branch access. We'll consider it for a future enhancement.
We are focused on continuing to enhance our own Money Management Tools product, but we realize other tools exist and offer features we don't (and may never) offer.- AnonymousApril 17, 2011 at 9:15 PM
Right now when scheduling a transfer, the UWCU website asks for:
1) the account to transfer from
2) the account to transfer to
3) the amount to transfer
4) the date to perform the transfer
Could you please add:
5) Comment/Note
This would allow the customer to enter a comment or note like the note line on a check. This would allow them to review the reason they scheduled the transfer both prior to and after the transfer occurs.
Thanks. - AnonymousApril 17, 2011 at 9:17 PM
You allow account transactions in savings and checking accounts to be assigned a "category".
Why don't you allow a user to assign a "category" for transfers & payments at the time they schedule the transfer or payment? Regarding the categorization of scheduled transfers, this is also a lot more difficult than it probably looks. Again, we've done a lot of work behind the scenes to make everything appear in one place, but the data is coming from tons of different places to show up in pending items.
We also like this idea and will add it to the list, but there are a number of technical hurdles we'll have to overcome to make this work.
The transfers will auto categorize when they become real history items.- AnonymousMay 8, 2011 at 8:38 PM
This is a great feature, but lacking one important thing when it comes to joint accounts. My wife and I have separate logins, but draw from the same accounts. When I enter pending transactions, she can not see them and vise versa. Why is this? This makes it hard to keep our books straight as one hand does not know what the other hand is doing.
ReplyDelete Regarding joint accounts, the short answer is we know and understand. The longer answer is that this is not something easy to do. While you may want to share this information, others may not. Or you may want to share it about one account and not another. We'd need to build a system where you can set up permissions as to what the joint member can and can't see (or do).
We do have this issue on our radar screen, but it isn't likely to be addressed in the foreseeable future. The complexities and amount of work it would take to implement makes it hard to justify. I think there will be a day when we can address this, but we ask you to be patient.- AnonymousJune 27, 2011 at 7:19 AM
I echo the comment(s) from the May 8th posting. However, I certainly do not understand the response that was posted. Today if an account is 'joint', is it not true that each individual has "equal" access? Therefore each individual that is 'joint' should have access to any pending transaction information. You may want to set up a system that limits permissions, but that is not how things currently are now. (and in my opinion - the setting account permissions, the account is no longer 'joint')
ReplyDelete The permissions that you'd be granting would be to the Web Branch information. While a joint holder on an account has full rights to that account from a banking perspective, that does not apply to online access via Web Branch. On Web Branch, all of the access is controlled by the member logging in (this is typical of all online systems where the the username controls access and everything flows down from there).
Because of this, we can't just assume that one member would want to share all their pending transfers, Web Payments, etc. just because it happens to be on a joint account. Thus the need for some kind of way to grant access to this.- AnonymousSeptember 7, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Is this feature, (to view future balance with pending items) available for credit card accounts? It's awesome to have this for my checking account but would like to see my credit card balance as well.

Back when Windows Vista was still known as Windows Longhorn, the operating system contained a very interesting and promising feature, a feature promoted as one of the 'pillars' of Longhorn: WinFS. WinFS was a storage subsystem for Windows, based on a relational database, that could contain whatever data you wanted to put in it. Thanks to the relational properties of the database, you could then create relationships between data, or let the computer do that for you.

Smells like a Fork Liftis
Duramax Chevy or Cummins Dodge?
I am in the market for a new truck. I can't decide which one to get. It will be my Daily Driver (only drive like 10 miles a day). I am looking at 2001-2003 in the Chevy and 2000-2002 in the Dodge.

Brian, If it's going to be a dd and only 10 miles a day thats going to be hard on it. It will never get hot enough to run clean and the mileage will suck because of running rich.

Keep on truckin
i agree with rubicon. me being a chevy guy i can only give a biased point of view to go with the chevy. i have driven one cummins dodge and it seemed fairly decent to drive. my only complaint was the transmission. i've driven a few chevy duramaxs and can't complain at all.

The cummins will take anything you can throw at it. It is not a complicated motor, easy to work on, everything is just bigger.
Your only problem will be justifying a replacement because it will run forever. Even during winter months mine reaches operating temp in a couple miles and as far as running rich the computer will take care of that. Put in a kit to increase your transmission line pressure and your good to go. The weak link has always been the fuel supply pump. Easy fix, lots of info out there. |

with those year chevys you will have the lb7 motor thats not for head problems... the injectors was in the head and blowing o rings and warping or cracking heads.. i haev the 05 lly motor and love it.. tje inectors are on top of the heads instead of in it. spend a few more bucks and get a 04.5 with the lly in it

Honestly... for those years I would buy the 2000-2002 Ford 7.3L

with those years, it would be a tough call. however, i wouldnt get one of those years, i would get a 12V, or a common rail cummins. i like the fuel milage of the early duramax, but i hate chevy trucks, they are far to elcaminoish for me. i think the only duramax i would have is an early singlecab long box stickshift. i think your looking at the worst years of diesel trucks. when did the fords finally become intercooled?
December 29th, 2007, 12:55 PM | #11 | |
I agree with bones on both points. I have an 04.5 duramax and I love it. The problems with the lb7's is not the heads, it is the injectors.... when they go bad they leak fuel into the crank case and dilute the oil. The heads to not cracks, they do not blow head gaskets randomly..... if it has good injectors then it is just as reliable as an lly engine, the 01 and 02's have a TSB on them for all 8 injectors to be replaced if there is a problem up to 200k, the last I knew the 03 and 04's were only to get the bad injectors replaced up to 100k |
December 29th, 2007, 05:59 PM | #13 | |
I put the Ick in Dick.
I would say go with the Dodge and get a manual. If you want a nicer riding truck with a slightly better interior then get the Chevy. |

Smells like a Fork Liftis
I am not going to buy a ford and I am not going to try to justify that. I don't like Ford.
As far as operating temp, low distance driving...I will just let it idle in the parking lot if it becomes a problem. I am just looking for a truck to tow without having to fight a gaser in the mountains. I have always liked chevy's, both of my tow rigs have been chevy's. I have fully researched both trucks and the pro's and con's lists a very close to each other. I would maybe consider a 12v valve truck, but I don't really want an older truck. I like the upgraded interiors and comfort level on newer trucks. I am probably going to buy one of these trucks in the above year range. They fit my budget and they are not a ford |

KiwiSaver v Parliamentary Super
Vernon Small reports in Stuff:
MPs' generous superannuation schemes will not be cut, despite Government plans to slash the subsidies paid to KiwiSaver accounts. …
Since 1992, MPs have been entitled to a subsidy of up to 20 per cent of their salary, receiving $2.50 for every dollar they put in. Those elected before 1992 receive a subsidy equal to 23 per cent of their gross salary.
Asked why taxpayers should subsidise MPs up to 20 per cent when he was winding back KiwiSaver subsidies, Mr English said they were different schemes.
"The MPs' scheme has been wound down over the last 20 years to something that is pretty similar to what everyone has available to them. In fact, I think a number of MPs are probably members of KiwiSaver."
There is a vital fact missing from this article. The Remuneration Authority operates on a "total remuneration" basis and the value of that 20% superannuation subsidy is effectively deducted from their salary. If the subsidy increases 5%, then their salary drops around 5%. If the subsidy is decreased, then the salary increases.
Personally I would just pay MPs the full remuneration for their jobs (which would see their pay increase 20%) and leave it up to them to decide whether they put some of it into a savings scheme or not.

Two security researchers at Defcon on Friday revealed the methods they used to hack into car computers and take over the steering, acceleration, breaks and other important functions.
Charlie Miller, a security engineer at Twitter, and Chris Valasek, director of security intelligence at IOActive, spent 10 months researching how they could hack into the network of embedded computer systems called electronic control units (ECUs) used in modern cars and see what they could do once they gained access to it.
Their test cars were a 2010 Ford Escape and a 2010 Toyota Prius.
Some of the things they were able to achieve by hooking a laptop to the ECU communications network and injecting rogue signals into it included disabling the breaks while the car was in motion, jerking the steering wheel, accelerating, killing the engine, yanking the seat belt, displaying bogus speedometer and fuel gauge readings, turning on and off the car's lights, and blasting the horn.
The researchers also found a way to achieve persistent attacks by modifying the ECU firmware to send rogue signals even when they were no longer physically connected to the control units.
A research paper explaining how the hacking was done was shared with Ford and Toyota a few weeks before the Defcon presentation, the researchers said.
Toyota responded that it didn't consider this to be car hacking and that the company's security efforts are focused on preventing remote attacks from outside the car, not those that involve physically accessing the control system, Miller and Valasek said.
The goal of the research was to see what could be done when hackers gain access to the ECU network, known as the controller area network bus, the researchers said. It doesn't matter if it's done locally or remotely; access to a single ECU provides access to the whole network and gives the ability to inject commands, they said.
Miller is certain that other researchers will find ways to remotely attack the systems in the future. The software industry hasn't figured out how to write secure software yet, so there's no reason to believe car makers have figured it out either, he said.
The code in systems that can be accessed remotely -- telematics units, tire sensors, those using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi -- might have a lot of vulnerabilities, he said. "I'm sure that if people start looking, they would will start finding vulnerabilities."
That's part of the reason Miller and Valasek decided to make the details of their research public, including what kind of equipment, cables and software they used.
The full research paper and the custom software tools that were written to interact with the ECUs, as well as the code used to inject particular commands, will be released this weekend, Miller said.
"We want other researchers to keep working on this; on other cars or on the same cars," Miller said. "It took us ten months to do this project, but if we had the tools that we have now, we would have done it in two months. We want to make it easy for everyone else to get involved in this kind of research."
Concerns that the tools could enable people to hack car systems for malicious purposes are valid, the researcher said. However, if it's that easy to do, then they could do it anyway; it would just take them a bit more time, he said.
"If the only thing that keeps our cars safe is that no one bothers to do this kind of research, then they're not really secure," Miller said. "I think it's better to lay it all out, find the problems and start talking about them."
However, fixing the issues won't be easy because most of them are there by design, according to Miller.
Car manufacturers won't be able to just issue a patch, the researcher said. "They'll have to change the way these systems are made."
Right now, there's no authentication when car computers communicate with each other, because they need to react and send signals quickly in potentially dangerous situations, the researcher said. Adding authentication will introduce latency, so the systems will need faster processors to make up for that. Those processors would cost more, so car prices would rise, he said.
"We had not seen the research in advance, but learned about it through media coverage," Cindy Knight, public affairs manager at Toyota Motor Sales, said on Saturday via email.
"At Toyota, we take seriously any form of tampering with our electronic control systems," she said. "We strive to ensure that our electronic control systems are robust and secure and we will continue to rigorously test and improve them."
"It is important to note that this recently publicized demonstration required a physical presence inside the vehicle, extensive disassembly of the instrument panel, and a hard-wired connection," Knight said. "All of this would be very obvious to the driver."
Ford Motor Co. in the U.S. did not immediately respond to a request for comments.

The cron daemon schedules system tasks according to commands found within each crontab file. A crontab file consists of commands, one command per line, that will be executed at regular intervals. The beginning of each line contains date and time information that tells the cron daemon when to execute the command.
For example, a crontab file named root is supplied during SunOS software installation. The file's contents include these command lines:
10 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm (1) 15 3 * * 0 /usr/lib/fs/nfs/nfsfind (2) 1 2 * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1 (3) 30 3 * * * [ -x /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean ] && /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean (4) |
The following describes the output for each of these command lines:
The first line runs the logadm command at 3:10 a.m. every day.
The second line executes the nfsfind script every Sunday at 3:15 a.m.
The third line runs a script that checks for daylight savings time (and make corrections, if necessary) at 2:10 a.m. daily.
If there is no RTC time zone, nor an /etc/rtc_config file, this entry does nothing.
The /usr/sbin/rtc script can only be run on an x86 based system.
The fourth line checks for (and removes) duplicate entries in the Generic Security Service table, /etc/gss/gsscred_db, at 3:30 a.m. daily.
For more information about the syntax of lines within a crontab file, see Syntax of crontab File Entries.
The crontab files are stored in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs directory. Several crontab files besides root are provided during SunOS software installation. See the following table.
Table 8–2 Default crontab Files
crontab File |
Function |
adm |
Accounting |
lp |
Printing |
root |
General system functions and file system cleanup |

Besides the default crontab files, users can create crontab files to schedule their own system tasks. Other crontab files are named after the user accounts in which they are created, such as bob, mary, smith, or jones.
To access crontab files that belong to root or other users, superuser privileges are required.
Procedures explaining how to create, edit, display, and remove crontab files are described in subsequent sections.

It was like a gay icon mixer, featuring Joan Rivers, Charo, Del Rubio Triplets, Dinah Shore, Grace Jones, Oprah Winfrey, k.d. lang, Little Richard, and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Also there were Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, Whoopi Goldberg, Magic Johnson and series regulars Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne), Reba the Mail Lady (S.

We've lost far too many celebrities already this year, but Nora Ephron is the one whose loss hits me the hardest. In a time when women weren't expected to have careers, let alone in Hollywood, Nora brought her witty, emotionally resonant, utterly true take on men and women and love. Her film partnerships with Meg Ryan and Meryl Streep have brought about such classics as You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and Julie & Julia. In addition to her success in film, she's known for sharp-witted essays about women and aging; she even got hip to the times and became a blogger for HuffPo!
A few years ago, Ephron developed what would become acute myeloid leukemia, though she told only a few close friends because she didn't want people to see her complain. She passed away last night in Manhattan. She was 71.
Her work, for me, is best summed up in the iconic finale to When Harry Met Sally… If you've never seen this movie, then I want to know what more valuable things you were doing with your adolescence! Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan) are two New Yorkers who keep randomly meeting over the years, going from acquaintances to legitimate friends who watch TV while lying in their respective beds and talking on the phone, and who support each other in their romantic woes. They quarrel and nitpick and tease. Eventually, they fall in love.
Maybe this ending scene didn't create all of the rom-com tropes you see here — the guy running for the girl, the big speech — but it's always felt wholly original and everything after it a knock-off. I'm just gonna be YouTubing Ephron movies all day now.
"I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Guh! You will be sorely missed, Nora.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.31 / 5.00 5,547 ViewsEDIT: Front page? Niceness! Thanks everyone!
W00t, over 25,000 views! Thanks everybody, yet again!
At last, the sequel to the front-page winning SRM Transformers is here!
I've been working on it on and off for a month straight - whether I was just drawing out character designs or doing the laborious transforming animation for BRAWL (over 3 hours to do one second of animation)
I took a bunch of viewer suggestions from the first one in - subs are in and SOUNDWAVE is no longer purple (he was in the comics, eh)
Regardless, it's finally completed. It's about as long as the last one, and the credits at the end are a little different (should stay consistent, like a TV show) but they're worth watching too!
Anyway, hope you guys like it - I know how much everyone loved the first one!
And leave a review - I respond to all of em!
(submit to Transformers collection)
Dinobots are awesome!
You gotta put in the insecticons now!!! HAHA! I can't believe I'm actually getting this excited about a flash series. Oh well, it's awesome! I can't wait for the 3rd episode bro!
Idea: Perhaps you could do something to make fun of the Go-Bots, or the other Transformers series i.e. Beast Wars. :P
There's a Beast Wars joke or two in the first one, it's so ripe for humor I better get another one in for the next one :)
As for Insecticons: who knows, maybe in the next one - they never really were my favorite baddies.
More is on the way!
Fantastic as usual.
Another great SRM flash. Btw where did you get the sound for jebbys "HWAH!" It's something me and all my friends have come to love for some odd reason.
That's actually Jethro's - I had superlineman01 record his "mario death noise" for me, and I've used it Jebus knows how many times since.
Glad you liked it!
Starscream: I Suggest we attack now. (gets shot by melatron)
Starscream: (screaming after shot)
Really good
Even better then the first episode. The character design is really great, and captures all of the aspects which were important about the originals.
Hope to see more of these in the future
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be seeing more before you know it :)
Thanks for the review!
Very clever!!!
That was awesome! I laughed pretty good when Grimlock was chewing on Brawls head! Great job and keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing more in the future!
thanks! glad you liked it!

Take the wood glue and squeeze an even amount onto the canvas. As fun as squeezing glue can be, don't put too much onto the canvas, as your picture may bubble. Take the paintbrush and gently smooth out the glue, making sure that you go all the way to the edge of the canvas.
Lay the photo face-down on a clean surface. Place the glue-side of the canvas onto the back of the photo. Be sure to center the canvas onto the photo before pressing firmly.
Next, grab your squeegee (or credit card) and smooth out any air pockets. Start in the center and ease your way to the edges for the best results.
You will need to get under the frame of the canvas to ensure the air pockets are completely gone. Turn over the canvas and double-check that the surface is smooth before letting it dry. The glue will need about an hour to completely dry.
Fold the photo around the edges of the canvas while making crease marks.
Take your trusty scissors and cut a slit on each corner of the photo. The slit will create a flap that you want to sit flush with the top edge of the canvas.
Whip out the glue and squeeze an even amount onto one of the longer sides first. Once again, spread the glue with the paintbrush. Fold the photo, starting with the middle, over the canvas frame. Make sure there are no air pockets!
Then staple the photo into place. Keep the staples about an inch apart. Repeat the steps on the opposite side of the canvas.
On the corners, make sure you glue the bottom and the top of the flaps you have cut into the photo. Once the flaps are glued down, continue to glue, wrap and staple the remaining two sides.
Lay some newspapers onto your work area. Take the texture cream and spoon a little onto the photo-wrapped canvas. Grab the foam roller and roll the cream around the canvas, being careful not to get any onto your hands. Add more cream as you go and roll until it looks even. Don't forget to do the edges! It will have a milky appearance but don't worry, it dries clear. Allow 12 hours to dry.
Great job! You just made your very own canvas print. Hang it wherever your heart desires and then start making more.

BCS Bowl Game Predictions
This article is a follow-up to previous weeks' predictions. I will continue to post weekly predictions until the actual Bowl picks come out.
A few key points to remember:
1. 1. No conference can have more than two teams picked for the BCS bowls. (Sorry, Texas Tech.)
2. 2. Each bowl makes the pick that benefits that particular bowl itself. There appears to be very little corroboration between the bowls to make picks that benefit all five BCS bowl games as a whole.
3. 3. Utah earned an automatic BCS bid by ranking above all other Mid-major teams and by ranking inside the top 12. This fills seven of the 10 available spots, leaving three at-large bids open.
4. 4. Only the top ranked Mid-major team will earn an automatic bid. (Sorry, Boise St.) The other team is eligible for an at-large bid, but not an automatic bid.
Order of Picks
1. Bowl that lost No. 1
2. Bowl that lost No. 2
3. Fiesta
4. Sugar
5. Orange
Rose Bowl gets Pac-10 and Big 10 Champs
• Penn St.
Fiesta Bowl gets Big 12 Champ
• Lost Oklahoma to the title game, so picks Texas (first pick).
• Picks Utah (third pick).
Sugar Bowl gets SEC Champ
• Lost Alabama to the title game, so picks Florida (second pick).
• Picks Ohio St. (fourth pick).
Orange Bowl gets the ACC Champ
• Virginia Tech (ACC Champ)
• Cincinnati (Big East Champ) (fifth and last pick)
2008 Orange Bowl Championship Game
• Alabama
• Oklahoma
The most expected change to this prediction is Florida beating Alabama in the SEC championship game. I expect the Gators will win and send themselves to the National Title game, but until the game is played, I will keep my predictions aligned with the BCS rankings. Yet, even if the Crimson Tide go down, I predict the two teams will swap places; Florida will go to the Title game and Alabama to the Sugar Bowl.
As always, the most difficult spot to pick is the ACC champ. I was wrong last week as I expected Virginia Tech to lose and I thought Georgia Tech was playing great. I was right about GT, but wrong about VT.
This week I threw darts to pick a winner. For those who bet, stay away from the ACC championship game.
The Oklahoma-Texas debate has been settled, and it appears Oklahoma will be playing for the Title. Oregon St. lost, sending USC to the Rose Bowl, and reducing the Pac-10 representation in the BCS to one team.
For the three at-large spots, two are not actually at-large since the BCS selection procedures give an automatic qualification to teams ranked No. 3 and No. 4 as long as there is room to fit them in with the other automatic qualifiers. Thus, Texas at No. 3 is in, and Alabama or Florida at No. 4 is in.
With No. 3 and No. 4 in, only one at-large spot remains up to the bowls to pick. This was a tough pick, because I would like to believe that the Sugar Bowl would rather pick a ninth ranked undefeated team, Boise St., over a 10th ranked Ohio St., but I can't see it happening.
Truthfully, it's hard to make an argument for the boys in blue.
Boise St., though undefeated, has only one win over a team in the top 50, a narrow victory over No. 16 Oregon. Ohio St. has three wins over teams in the top 50, with a convincing win over No. 15 Michigan St. By comparison, undefeated Ball St. has three wins over top 50 teams, but none over top 25 teams.
I will stop there because I don't want to make an argument for one team or another; I only want to illustrate why I think the bowl committees will choose one way over another. Yet, no matter how many ways I analyze the selection process, the loyalties and the cash will probably earn Ohio St. a trip to a big money game rather than their play on the field. Good luck next year Broncos, Cardinals, and Red Raiders.
Left Out
• Ball St.
• Texas Tech
• Boise St.
• Georgia
• Oklahoma St.
• Missouri
• Georgia Tech
• Michigan St.

An interesting sub-topic in this thread http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=26&t=267824&page=2 has me curious, who is right? If I go someplace and am required to disarm, can I or can I not leave my loaded pistol in my vehicle? 1 says says, 1 says no. I cannot find any laws that stop me from doing this, but the "no" person seems pretty adamant he knows the rules.
Okay, I read some of that thread, but it is long and full of legal articles etc. I agree with the "no" guy. My understanding of CT law is that a loaded pistol HAS to be concealed on the person with the permit. A bunch of posts over there kept bringing up the part about having a loaded gun in a car with a person with the proper permit. Well, that "permit" is a Concealed Carry Pistol Permit. So my take is that a loaded pistol, in a car, HAS to be concealed on the body of the person with the permit. My understanding of transporting other guns, such as rifles, is that they are to be unloaded, and the ammo is to be locked up separately. My understanding, also, is that you can own a pistol in your own house and walk around with it (in your house) all day long without a permit. People can pick apart the laws all day long. The particular incident described in that thread, about the off duty officer being told to not bring in his weapon, was one of those incidents that every law can't cover every time. Do you really want laws to be THAT specific? I am surprised that the supervisor did not allow the officer in with his weapon, but that was his call at the time. I've lived in CT my whole life, and I never seem to have any problem with the gun laws. CT is FULL of people who carry concealed, and that's just it -- it's concealed, so you don't know they are carrying. Get a concealed pistol permit, which you will get if you don't have any criminal record, and you are good to go. If you choose to carry, keep your gun on you and concealed.
CT has no statutory prohibition on open carry. The permit says "State Permit to Carry Pistols and Revolvers". The "requirement" to conceal is the fear of being arrested and having your permit subsequently revoked, with the charge being "creating a public disturbance", or a similar charge.
Yes, I have heard that, and also have been told (as you point out) that open carry will probably get you in trouble one way or another. The permit does say to "Carry", as I understand it meaning on your person, not have one nearby in your vehicle.
It depends on the part of the state you're in. In northern CT, farm country, you probably wouldn't get hassled for open carrying like you would at the Danbury or Orange malls. The police have way to much discretionary power in CT for me to leave a loaded firearm in my vehicle. I'd unload it, lock it out of sight, and take all the ammo and mags with me.
Way too much fear of the police here..... The statute deals with weapons in a MV, and the list of those is long, to include martial arts weapons, knives, brass knuckles, etc... not just guns. As long as you are the permit holder, and it is your vehicle, you are good to go to leave it in the car. Just use common sense..... leaving it in the car, exposed, in a bad area of a large crime infested city may get you jammed up if its stolen..... a reckless endangerment charge, or such. I have never arrested a permit holder for weapon in a MV, just cause he didnt have his loaded firearm on his person.
Thanks Jene for that reply. I am just going by what I have been told, which is too keep cool and keep it concealed. I am a member of the local VFD, so I know most of the local PD and they are all good people. Actually, I might ask one of them what their thoughts are on this, seeing as how they are the ones who I would probably be dealing with if this situation came up with me! lol
Jene - which dept. do you work for? Tvov - gotta agree with you; I've never had a problem here in CT either. Of course, I also try not to be too stupid with my firearms.
Gun laws in this state are not as bad as some seem to make out.... its not like its Massachussetts. Permits are fairly easy to get, handgun purchases are not an issue with a permit. The only stupid law is the assault weapons law, a law that was put together by administators that have no clue as to firearms. By and large, you will find most police officers are pro-gun.
Sec 29-28 subsection e allows an individual or group who control a property to determine if ccw is allowed there. That being said if they choose to make it a gun free zone and you are made aware of this, then it is legally enforcible, however it dsoes not say if it is a felony or misdemeanor. In those cases I unload and use a cable lock to affix my pistol to the rails under the driver's seat. It is not against the law to keep it loaded in your vehicle, but that is what I do, just in case something happens and I have not readily armed a criminal. This way I can feel confident that I took reasonable measures. Perhaps it is a feelgood precaution, but it does just that, makes me feel good.
First off, I was one of the main people in that thread. There is no law regarding carrying of guns in a vehicle besides for the one mentioned. If you have a permit, you can carry the gun anyway you want, on your person, in your glovebox, etc. Trust me, the guy who says you can't isn't right. As for the gun free zones, my understanding of this is that it is not a crime to carry in a place that is marked "no guns allowed". It only becomes a crime if you are told to leave and you either don't, or you come back in and are carrying. Then you are guilty of some form of trespassing, not sure exactly what. There are alot of rumors about the laws, but you have to read them carefully. The way it works is it's legal unless there is a law that prohibits it. So, unless someone can cite a statute that says, "cannot be in a vehicle with a weapon, even if a permit has been issued, unless said weapon is on ones person and properly concealed in regards to statute xx.xx", it is perfectly legal to have it in your glovebox. Open carry is definitely legal as well, go into any gun store and look at the clerks. However, there are too many people that are scared of guns, and there is the whole "disturbing the peace" statute which can be applied to almost anything.

Building Hope One House at a Time
by Bill Chameides | November 20th, 2009
posted by Erica Rowell (Editor)
Nancy Murray has taken recycling to a whole new level — she recycles houses.
When I met Murray at a meeting at Duke University last week, my first impression was of a sharp but typical professional making her way through the business world. I was right and wrong: she is sharp, she is professional, but she is anything but typical.
Building Hope and Sustainable Solutions
As the CEO of the not-for-profit Builders of Hope, based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Murray is on a mission to save the world one house and one neighborhood at a time. Her organization collects, moves, and refurbishes abandoned houses to build new sustainable neighborhoods of affordable housing. Not your typical businesswomen.
When I asked Murray about her background, she seemed a little embarrassed to say that she began her career in marketing and then as a developer. But through her work, Murray began to see some serious problems that cried out for attention:
- Abandoned Homes: There are about 13 million vacant housing units [pdf] in the United States. Obviously, those are in need of tenants.
- Homelessness: At the same time the estimated 3. 5 million Americans who likely experience homelessness in a given year are in search of homes.
- Landfills filling up: If left abandoned, homes deteriorate and eventually must be demolished and carted off to a landfill. A typical home yields about 50,000 pounds of rubbish, according to Murray. That means the standing crop of abandoned homes represents a potential three billion tons of material destined for our nation's landfills.
- Climate change. Residences are responsible for one fifth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and most of our homes are unnecessarily inefficient. Making homes more efficient — through better appliances, tighter insulation, etc. — is easy and could make significant cuts in those emissions.
It's one thing to see a set of problems. It's another to have the vision toward an elegant solution and the wherewithal to make it happen. Murray had that vision, and to make it a reality, she abandoned her traditional career track and founded Builders of Hope.
Her Vision: Match up the Homeless with Abandoned Homes in New Green Neighborhoods
Murray likes to say that each house has a story — the story of the lives of all the people who have lived in it — and so each house, even an abandoned one, is worth saving, She has developed a five-step process to do just that.
Step 1. Save that house.
Demolishing a home is not free. You've got to pay someone to do the demolition, you've got to pay someone to haul the stuff away, and you've got to pay the landfill to take your stuff.
Now, what if you owned an abandoned home and were fixing to knock it down when someone came along and offered to take it off your hands for a small fee — much less than the cost of demolition. You'd do it right?
And that's the Builders of Hope's first step: they convince owners of abandoned homes (often banks) to let them take that house off their hands for a small fee.
Step 2. Move it.
Next you might wonder: what are Murray and the Builders of Hope going to do with an old abandoned house?
Simple: They move it. That's right, they pick it up off its foundation and cart it off to a new location to be part of a new planned neighborhood based on sustainable principles like proximity to mass transit, pedestrian friendly, infill/urban as opposed to suburban locations.
Step 3. Refurbish that old house.
Okay, so now you have a formerly abandoned house sitting on a lot somewhere, What's next? Fix it up of course.
Once the Builders of Hope have moved their homes to new neighborhoods, the organization gives each house a major overhaul: new wiring, new plumbing, new walls, new HVAC — the works. The end result is a home that most people would love to live in.
Step 4. Make it green.
But as long as they are refurbishing a home, why not do it right? The Builders of Hope don't just refurbish homes; they make them green in every way they can. Specifics include: EnergyStar appliances, low VOC materials (e,g., no carpets), landscaping with native plants and grasses, low-flow fixtures, and rain collection systems for irrigation.
Step 5. Sell the home at cost.
Finally the group finds new owners to live in the homes. But not just any owner. All of the homes sold by Builders of Hope are sold at cost to families earning below the median income. In many cases, Murray reports, the new owners are able to:
- own their home with monthly payments lower than the cost of renting and
- reduce transportation costs because of proximity to mass transit and retail markets.
You've heard of killing two birds with one stone? Well, the Builders of Hope are tackling four problems (abandoned homes, homelessness, landfills, greenhouse gas emissions) with one solution.
One of the group's first projects, the Barrington Village in Raleigh, is a great example of the organization's work. It's a 24-home subdivision build on a six-acre plot. All the homes, of 1940s–1960s vintage, had been slated for demolition in the Raleigh area. Instead they now sit together in a neighborhood, with families inside.
Kudos to Nancy Murray.

The existing homes that have made use of wood and wood products have kept carbon dioxide essentially buried. The trees that provided this wood may have already been reforested…. 30 years? To demolish these homes or allow them to disintegrate (biodegrade) accelerates the time frame of that sequestered CO2 back into the atmosphere. Recycling them extends the burial of their CO2 and keeps new trees from being cut down for the construction of new homes.

Policies and guidance
We have 24 policies covering the provision of the service [166kb] including location, accessibility, waste types accepted, information and communication.
Guidance is in place covering residents using commercial or commercial-like vehicles to deliver waste from home, waste from improvements and repairs, hazardous waste and delivering waste on behalf of friends, families and neighbours. The guidance also covers what you need to do if you want to deliver charity, community and voluntary group and commercial waste. Download the guidance leaflet [764kb] for more details. If, having read the guidance, you need to register with us please complete the registration form [34kb].
Any charity, community group or voluntary group transporting waste, whether their own or someone else's, must now register as a waste carrier with the Environment Agency in England. Depending on the activity, this registration may be free of charge. Visit GOV.UK to register as a waste carrier.
Charities are required to show their waste carriers licence certificate to site staff and complete a controlled waste transfer note (available on site) before depositing their waste. Failure to provide the certificate may result in refusal to deposit waste. Please note: a charity disposing of construction and demolition waste is required by the Environment Agency to be registered with an upper tier licence.
