Fiber artist!
Hey! My name is Abby. I'm a maker, a knitter, a spinner, and I am always working on as many projects as possible!
I fell in love with fiber arts when I moved to Chapel Hill, NC with my husband in 2013. As I learned more and more about the fiber industry, about America's textile history and how this beautiful craft can have such an impact on our earth, I fell deeper in love and started spinning my own yarn. I'll forever be grateful to the family at the Carolina Fiber Festival that sat ...

Since finding out I was pregnant I was convinced I didn't want to find out the gender of our baby. What I didn't realize was how much this was going to affect how I planned to decorate the nursery. In the beginning I was set on a gender neutral nursery, I wanted a room that was calm and peaceful. It wasn't until I started looking at all of the gender-specific nurseries online that I began to doubt myself.
I fell in love with the delicate and feminine rooms designed for sweet baby girls. Rooms full of soft fabrics, beautiful florals and bright colours. And then there are the handsome nurseries built for little boys. Rich colours, rustic wooden elements and vintage toys make these nurseries uniquely masculine.
I started to struggle with the idea of finding out if we are having a precious little girl or boy. It would let me have such freedom while planning for this little one's arrival! But I reminded myself why we chose to keep this ultimate secret from the beginning and I am determined, once again, to design a beautiful, gender neutral nursery.
I created a design board to give me inspiration and help decorating the perfect baby's room. A room where Baby G will feel calm, tranquil and peaceful.
You can see the completed nursery here.

Health Minister Jane Philpott scrums with media in Ottawa on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016. iPolitics/Matthew Usherwood
The Tories are expressing disappointment that federal Health Minister Jane Philpott won't repay more than $5300 in limousine bills.
Philpott's office says her department reviewed the bills that were for trips to Toronto's Pearson airport and deemed to them to be in line with other local limo services.
Philpott was forced to apologize last month after word surfaced she had spent thousands of dollars on a car service owned by a Liberal supporter.
She repaid just over $3700 for trips in and around the Greater Toronto Area and the Niagara region.
Philpott's office does say she plans to repay an additional $381 to taxpayers for the cost of a Nexus pass and a suitcase that did not comply with RCMP standards for ministers.
Conservative MP Colin Carrie says Philpott showed a complete lack of judgement in using a company owned by a supporter and should repay all the limo bills.

The adventure begins as the PCs make their way through
the cave and toward whoever is responsible for the
attacks. The early portion of the cave has no significant
threats other than a few common scorpions. The back of
the cave has a narrow opening to a steep descent, which
winds its way down to a large, cool cavern with a large
chasm bridged by a length of natural stone. The drow
have left quasits to guard the bridge, which the PCs must
dispatch, banish, or bypass. While the PCs are dealing
with this encounter, they hear a large explosion from the
next cavern.
In that next chamber the drow finally manage a
brute-force breakthrough into the Stalactite Pyramid—
using their own magic and the stolen artifacts, they've
blown open the top of the pyramid (the noise of which
is audible to the PCs in the bridge cavern), revealing an
interior chamber and a strange fountain of light. The
light is a manifestation of the magical power source,
and it is now leaking energy into the pyramid chamber,
giving everyone within it the ability to fly. When the PCs
reach this chamber, they too will be able to fly—which is
fortunate, as it turns out this underground pyramid is
built upside-down, clinging to the ceiling of the cavern
like a stalactite. The PCs must deal with the drow and
driders left guarding the outside of the pyramid.
Once the outer guards are dealt with, the PCs must
enter the pyramid, deal with any other Darklands
opponents infesting it, and defeat the drow noble leader
of this expedition before she can use the stolen artifacts
to unlock further secrets. If they defeat her, they can
retrieve the items and report back to the dig site about
the location and apparent nature of the second pyramid.

Abby Martin discusses the US federal minimum wage law and calls out the top five corporations, such as Target, McDonalds and Yum Brands that refuse to pay their workers a living wage despite posting record profits and generously compensating their CEOs. Abby then speaks with RT political commentator, Sam Sacks, about Wal-Mart's shady business practices, the decision by the National Labor Relations Board to go after the company for illegally firing workers after they decided to protest the store's wage policies last year and the corporation's decision to build six new stores in the District of Columbia.

Beginning February 2, 2015, payments processed in Jordanian dinar (JOD) require a 4-digit Payment Purpose Code.
As a best practice, it is strongly recommended that all electronic payments (in any payment currency) sent to Jordan from other countries include the Payment Purpose Code in the Payment Details/Field 70/Remittance Information of the funds transfer instruction.
Include the 4-digit Payment Purpose Code in the first line. Sample Format: 1234 (No slashes for delimiters or line starts). There is no need to add the description, but it can be added as an option in line 2, and if necessary continue into lines 3 and 4.
Please click here for a listing of the Payment Purpose Codes and their descriptions as defined by the Central Bank of Jordan.
Jordan also requires the use of an International Bank Account Number (IBAN) to identify the beneficiary on all payments/transfers sent to Jordan regardless of currency.

Renting a passenger van can be easy if you have rented a passenger van or a cargo van rental in the past. If this is your first time renting a passenger van or driving one, there are many things that should be considered before operating the vehicle with many passengers and in various weather conditions. These tips should assist you in the proper operation of the vehicle.
15 Passenger Van Program
There are different requirements for every state but these are examples of requirements that must be met to rent a van. First and foremost, you must be an approved driver. Be sure that you have a valid commercial license and all training is up to date. Some states require that you have a minimum of two years of experience to rent a passenger van and the maximum amount of passengers is 11. Go through the passenger van checklist with the company you are renting the van from to be sure that everything is operating properly. Most van rentals require the driver of the van to be at least 25 years or older.
Experienced Drivers Only
Experienced drivers, 25 years or older, are usually the ideal individuals to rent a van. This allows companies to ensure that the driver is mature and has the experience to operate the vehicle safely. Drivers with this experience know to check all mirrors and utilize them while driving. Position the mirrors so that you are able to see the road behind you, not the side of your vehicle. Another responsibility that the driver has is to make sure that all cargo is secured properly in the cargo compartment of the van. Secure the cargo to compliment the center of gravity and limit the amount of cargo passengers are authorized. Be sure all passengers have and utilize seatbelts at all times.
Safety on the Road
Be a defensive driver. When operating a vehicle as big and top heavy as a passenger van, it is important and wise to be a defensive driver. This will keep you and your passengers safe and allow you to drive with less room for error. Vans are heavier and also take longer to stop. This means that you must leave more space between you and the vehicle in front of you. This will give you adequate time to stop. The length of passenger vans will add to your turning radius therefore, you must be aware of this as well. Additionally, wind can increase the amount force the van is exposed to. It is important that you decrease speed and drive with both hands on the wheel. The Mercedes Sprinter has many features that will assist you in the operation of passenger vans; however, it is important to have experience first. More details here.
There are many things to consider before renting a passenger van and there are certain requirements that must be met as well. Even though there are many risks in operating a passenger van, you should not be scared or intimidated while driving. This could cause you over think the situation and lead to an accident while driving. The Mercedes Sprinter is a great choice when deciding which van is the best to rent; this van has features that will aid you in safe driving.

HURRAY! sort of. . .
It gets even worse.
In spite of initial reports that the six-pointed star would be used inside a red crystal, the truth, according to the BBC is that the star is still a "no no" unless the other countries participating in any UN rescue effort give their permission!?
"Israelis, including military medics, will be able to use the crystal by itself on a white flag. On their own territory - or with the agreement of other states participating in UN operations abroad - they will be able to combine it with the star of David."

In the SEC championship game against Georgia, Alabama picked up its tempo on offense and went essentially no-huddle … to run the ball. It was a grueling wrinkle based on the primary truths of its offense: The line is really big and really good, and so are the running backs.
Facing that package at an unrelenting pace is simply withering. That's why the Crimson Tide had two 100-yard rushers that day. That's what Notre Dame faces in the BCS title game, in which its stout run defense runs up against the best offensive line it has seen and formidable backs hitting the holes behind it.

Call Of Duty: Elite PS3 Content Drops 4, 5 And 6 Due Around April 12th
So here's a bit of good news for PS3 players, Activision has now confirmed that the content drops that released for Xbox 360 today will be available for PS3 Elite Premium members on or around April 12th. Why no exact date, according to Activision it's because the exact posting time of PSN DLC is up to Sony. So depending on where you live in the world and when Sony post it, it could be the 12th or the 13th.
In the meantime, content drop 3, the Overwatch MP map is due March 29 for PS3 Elite premium members so it appears that the next few pieces of DLC on PS3 will be pretty close together. Who can be mad at that?

Whatever her intentions in the upcoming cycles, Sarah Palin is doing her best to emerge as one of the de facto leaders of the conservative movement. She has granted numerous interviews to conservative journalists and even endorsed Governor Rick Perry against Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in Texas's gubernatorial primary - even though the relatively moderate Hutchison has yet to jump in the race!
While these early maneuvers were primarily meant to be noticed by Republican activists, Palin's latest move is so high-profile that it will play a large role in any future national campaign: She announced today that she will reject $288 million of the $930 million that were granted to Alaska in the stimulus bill. She explained that she will accept money for construction projects, but not funds meant for government operations.
Palin made sure to justify her decision in ideological terms, explaining that she is turning down the money out of the principled stance against government expansion. "In essence we say no to operating funds for more positions in government," Palin said.
At first, Palin mistakenly suggested that she would reject 45% of the stimulus funds, though she later acknowledged that she was "only" turning down 31%. That initial exaggeration confirms that Palin has no interest in downplaying her rejecting the funds, quite the contrary: She is trying to derive as much clout among conservatives as possible.
While she remains a popular Governor, Palin could face consequences in her own state. Alaska has always been dependent on federal funds and on its elected officials' ability to bring back millions from Washington. This is what made Ted Stevens and Don Young nearly unbeatable. (Last fall, it took a conviction on felony charges for Alaska voters to reject Stevens, and Young survived similar allegations.) For Palin to reject a third of the federal aid is sure to cause a firestorm in the state, possibly cause a slump in her approval ratings and a rift with the state legislature. Prominent state politicians are already lining up to denounce her move, forcing Lieutenant Governor Parnell to introduce some nuances in Palin's initial statement.
Particularly controversial will be Palin's decision that Alaska would turn down $170 million meant for education. State superintendents of education are already livid. The Anchorage Daily News describes the "frenzy of calls" sparked by the Governor's announcement; school officials are now turning towards the (GOP-controlled) state legislature to overturn Palin's rejecting stimulus funds.
Needless to say, Palin's decision fits in her attempts to position herself to the right of other prominent Republicans. In February, the stimulus bill divided GOP Governors. One the one hand, Charlie Crist rallied to Obama's side at a crucial moment, appeared with him at a rally, called on his party to support the plan and undermined the GOP's efforts to organize a united front of opposition. On the other, Rick Perry and Mark Sanford announced they would reject some funds - and Sanford took a particularly public stance.
With her decision, Palin joins Mark Sanford's camp and is trying to milk her announcement for all it's worth. An important test in the GOP's presidential primary is sure to be whether Republicans stood up to Obama and to his attempts to reverse the past thirty year's shrinkage of government. Sarah Palin is willing to risk whatever criticism she gets in her 2010 re-election race in order to position herself better in 2012.
On the other hand, Palin risks putting herself in a box with the general public, who has come to view her as a partisan Republican who is at the far-right of the political spectrum. While all but three congressional Republicans voted against the stimulus bill, many ended up touting what the stimulus could do for their district or their state; few went as far as Sanford and Palin. If Obama's policies come to be massively unpopular with voters, Palin could use today's announcement to her advantage. Otherwise, look for her decision to feed the caricature of Palin as a doctrinaire conservative and for it to be used against her in any general election in which she participates.
Also: This week, PPP released a national poll finding Sarah Palin trailing Barack Obama 55% to 35% in a hypothetical presidential match-up. Make of that what you will.


text: It has been known for half a century that neurotransmitters are released in preformed quanta, that the quanta represent transmitter-storing vesicles, and that release occurs by exocytosis. The focus of this book is twofold. In the first part, the molecular events of exocytosis are analysed. This includes a discussion of presynaptic calcium channels, the core proteins of the secretory machinery, and the actions of clostridial toxins and a -latrotoxin, famous for their potency as well as their crucial role in the elucidation of the steps of exocytosis. In the books second part, the presynaptic receptors for endogenous chemical signals are presented that make neurotransmitter release a highly regulated process. These include ligand-gated ion channels and presynaptic G-protein-coupled receptors. The targets of presynaptic receptors within the exocytosis cascade, and their therapeutic potential, are subjects addressed in the majority of chapters.

Amanda Bynes' latest Twitter insult isn't aimed at a fellow celebrity but the First Family.
Bynes, whose behavior in recent months has been erratic, directed her latest social media barrage on President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
"Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are ugly!" she tweeted earlier today.
She previously used that insult against Drake, Jenny McCarthy, Courtney Love and Rihanna.
UPDATE: A Think Progress blogger dubs Bynes a "racist" for calling the First Family "ugly."

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
I am a former dancer. I trained for nearly 20 years, 15 of them in classical ballet at well-regarded studios in Massachusetts and New York City. I would never call myself a professional caliber ballerina, because my focus was in other dance forms and my technique and body type were not meant for ballet. I would never audition for a ballet ad. But I can sure spot a fake when I see one.
My Facebook feed exploded last week when Free People ran an ad featuring an embarrassingly untrained "dancer" who talked about how she had trained in ballet since she was three years old. The ad was for a new line of ballet/movement wear, and it was painfully obvious that the model was selected for her lithe frame and gorgeous face, and not so much for her skill.
My dancer friends winced, snarked, and clucked tongues. Hundreds of dancers commented on Free People's YouTube channel and Facebook page, saying such things as, "This is a mockery of dance of any form. It's obvious she isn't serious about dance. Any dancer could notice that in a heartbeat," and "It made my blood boil. It's an insult to dancers. It's an insult to dance itself."
Not too long after, the Internet at large got wind that the dancers were mad. In an article for AdWeek, dancers were interviewed expressing their disgust about the model's lack of training, as well as the danger of going en pointe without proper strength and technique. Soon after, Jezebel ran an article titled Ballet Truthers Are Coming for This Free People Ad.
A lot of non-dancers are wondering why us dancers are so up in arms about this. Actors play the roles of doctors, astronauts, and other highly-skilled professionals in commercials all the time. What's the big deal? One YouTube commenter wrote, "War? Hunger? Murder? Forget those travesties: ballet is what people on the Internet should be angry about!" His comment received 145 "likes" as of yesterday.
Well, the problem is that when actors are chosen to play astronaut or doctor, they aren't being asked to actually fly a rocket or perform surgery. The Free People model didn't merely wear the clothes and call herself a dancer. She stretched, completed barre exercises, moved about in a studio, and -- most devastatingly -- attempted to perform in pointe shoes, something reserved only for those who prove their foundational ballet technique is solid enough to proceed. Showcasing a poorly trained dancer as aspirational is embarrassing not only for Free People, but for us dancers who take our artform seriously.
Imagine a company was running an ad about a singer saying that she had taken voice lessons since she was three years old. Then imagine that the singer screeched her way through a Celine Dion song off-pitch and with little, if any, musicality. That would be awkward, wouldn't it? To play the ad off like it was inspiring? That's essentially what Free People is doing with this ballet ad. To us, watching this amateur dancer warble her way through ballet exercises en pointe is the equivalent of a tone-deaf, untrained singer attempting a song in a difficult range by one of the greatest divas of all time.
There are those that would defend Free People's intentions. Maybe not every dancer who has danced since she was three is going to be at a professional level. Maybe some people just want to embrace movement, even if they are not serious about it. That's fine. In fact, that's a sentiment most dancers can get behind. But if that's Free People's intention, then they should change the narrative. Show a dancer moving around lightly in the studio, or even in her living room, talking about how she loves to express herself. Don't tell us she's anything but a casual dancer. And please, for the love of God, do not put her in pointe shoes.
I do feel bad that the model for this ad is getting so much flack. She was probably psyched to book the commercial and had no idea the damage she'd be doing to the dance world. Our anger shouldn't be directed at her, but at Free People, whose clear disregard for dance shows us that they have little respect for what some of us dedicate our entire lives to.
Because it goes even deeper than being angry at seeing some sloppy technique and calling it art. Dancers aren't only upset because we saw some toes that weren't pointed and feet that weren't turned out. We are angry because there are literally thousands of beautiful, trained dancers that Free People could have chosen from to cast the commercial -- why not select a dancer who has the proper skill for the ad? Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, but it also won't alienate the audience of dancers you are trying to get to buy your product. Free People could follow in the footsteps of Under Armour and hire someone as fiercely talented and stunning as American Ballet Theatre soloist Misty Copeland, for example.
The problem is, in the industry, skill is usually not the most important factor -- even when you're talking about auditioning for actual dance jobs (versus a commercial for dance clothing). It may not be the case with professional dance companies, but when you're talking about commercial dance, the girl with "the look" gets it over the girl with "the skill." I know because I lost jobs to those girls. And it was infuriating to see a dancer with less skill but a prettier face book a job that wasn't even about selling a commercial product. It's even more infuriating to showcase that pretty face alongside a story about how much this dancer has supposedly trained.
OK, you want a gorgeous model. That's more important to you than skill. Fine. But don't cue the inspirational music and the close-ups of the dancer NOT executing the most basic of ballet movements and tell us she has trained since she was three. Just don't.
You know why dancers are so mad? It's because they want to see their passion represented accurately in the media. It's because there are so many of their friends who could have been perfect for the role. And it's because they trained for decades just to miss out on that commercial job over the girl who took an adult ballet class the night before the casting call.

Simple. Advertising. Borrower desperation simplifies the fraudsters' job to the point where all they have to do is advertise a promise and post a phone number.
Ads seem to work because mortgage fraud victims have at least two things in common: they're not sure whom to trust and they're willing to try anything. It doesn't matter whether a borrower is trying to modify their loan to avoid foreclosure, trying to refinance their loan, or qualify for a new conforming, conventional mortgage.
Freddie Mac fraud investigator Rob Hagberg said "Consumers can protect themselves by remembering the two things fraudsters have in common: empty promises plus big fees, usually upfront." The fees, Hagberg added, are typically for services that consumers can get for free from responsible lenders or HUD-approved non-profit counseling agencies. Once they're paid, fraudsters billing themselves as mortgage experts may steer borrowers to high interest rate loans packed with unnecessary fees terms.
Fraudsters targeting delinquent borrowers often tell them to stop paying their mortgage (or pay it to them) while they "work things out" with the lender. Instead they pocket the money and let the client slip into foreclosure.

Since ABC first burst on the music scene in 1982 with their classic album "The Lexicon of Love", they have remained one of pops most fascinating groups constantly reinventing themselves with each album. Instead of playing safe after the success of their first album, ABC continued to change their musical template and to challenge their listener. Following up the successful debut album with the a more guitar based sound difficult second album "Beauty Stab", ABC failed to capture the public in the same way. Instead of been intimidated by this response ABC continued to evolve and change from the club sound of "How to be a Zillionaire" to the soul groove of "Alphabet City" , ABC were always a band in a state of flux constant in their reinvention of their sound and image.
Recent years have seen ABC consist of only lead vocalist Martin Fry after the final member of the classic line up, Mark White having left in 1992. This version of ABC have spent recent years playing 80's revival festivals like "Rewind" in the UK and touring "The Lexicon of Love". Some were suspicious when in late 2015; Martin Fry announced he intended to record a sequel to their classic debut album. Many became even more apprehensive when it was announced that Trevor Horn would have no involvement in the project. Many credited the lush production of Horn to be one of the main reasons for the huge success of the first "Lexicon of Love" album.
On the 27th of May "The Lexicon of Love II" was released on the world and I must admit I was slightly apprehensive about the album myself. However my concerns were totally unfounded. "The Lexicon of Love II" is not only a worthy successor to its classic predecessor but I would go as far and likely commit pop heresy in the eyes of many by saying it's actually a better album. Anne Dudley does a magnificent job of filling Trevor Horn's shoes with her sublimely beautiful arrangements and I think there is actually a much stronger collection of songs on this album than on any previous ABC album including the first "Lexicon of Love" album.
Particular highlights for me are "Kiss Me Goodbye", "Ten below Zero" and "The Ship of the Seasick Sailor" but all the songs on the album are excellent. This is a constantly good album that should be played from start to finish without skipping tracks. In the age of streaming and downloading a selection of the album which I believe undermines the value of an album as complete work of art. "The Lexicon of Love II" presents the listener with a celebration of the revival of the album as complete work that should be listened to in its eternity.
I doubt "The Lexicon of Love II" will make many new converts but for fans of the original album or people who just enjoy good music, I would suggest you would not go wrong investing some time and money in this outstanding new album. Viva The Lexicon of Love II.

I was just sitting here going through my feeds from sites like KarmaTube, Only Positive News and Upworthy. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes after listening to a particularly touching video, and it really got me to thinking.
It's not uncommon for people these days to spend anywhere from one hour to several hours every day reading things on FaceBook, looking at things on the internet or watching things on television. Most of what these people take into their minds and lives is negativity. They're watching or reading the news, looking at celebrity gossip or watching shows that do nothing to uplift or even educate them. What's more is that most people see absolutely nothing wrong with this way of being.
For me, it's very different. I long ago gave up newspapers and the news. I never watched what most people refer to when they talk about "reality" television. I began avoiding negativity as much as possible. Some may call it "knowing what's going on", but I call it being forced to endure the negative information society wants us to see. Over time, I've become much more mindful of what I watch on television and what I look at on the internet.
That's why I'm subscribed to things like KarmaTube. I want to read and watch and be both entertained and educated, but I want what I take in to be meaningful. Yes, I still enjoy my sci-fi and fiction, but when I take in information about the world, I want to see the best that the world has to offer, not the worst. I want to be inspired and uplifted, not depressed and angry.
I have often said that I highly recommend for people to stop paying attention to the mass media news, celebrity gossip and mind-lowering television. I absolutely believe in that. I also believe that it's a good idea to replace those influences with better ones. What you take in every day affects how you think and who you are. Don't you want to be the best person possible? Don't you want to live in the best possible world? If so, then you should always be mindful of how you inform and educate yourself so that you are always in control, rather than relinquishing control to mass media and a broken society.
What positive information and entertainment sites do you frequent? What are your favorite uplifting or educational shows? I'd love for you to share.
To close this post I'm going to share that video with you, the one that touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes before I began writing this piece.

'Marriage penalty' could make costly return
(CNNMoney) —The return of the so-called marriage penalty could cost many couples more than $2,000 in higher 2013 taxes if Congress doesn't get its act together and fix the fiscal cliff.
As a result of the Bush tax cuts, married couples get a standard deduction that's exactly twice that of individuals. And the income ranges for the 10% and 15% tax brackets are also doubled.Prior to 2001, many married couples had paid a "penalty" because their standard deduction and income tax brackets were less than twice those of singles.
Married couples would also be moved into higher tax brackets more quickly. Individual taxpayers would be in the 15% tax bracket until they hit $36,250 in taxable income, but married filers could be pushed above it after only $60,550 in income, as opposed to $72,500.
The marriage penalty never went away for higher tax brackets above 15% — and that would continue to be the case. Even if the Bush tax cuts are extended, the 25% bracket would end at $87,850 for singles, but only at $146,400 for joint filers. And the highest bracket starts at the same income level regardless of whether the filer is a married couple or a single person.
Married couples benefiting from the Earned Income Tax Cut would also get hit if the fiscal cliff isn't addressed. The last two administrations raised the income threshold at which the credit begins to phase out for married couples to $5,000 above the amount for individuals.
Of course, the marriage penalty is only one of a bevy of provisions that are set to expire after 2012 so exactly what both married couples and single filers will pay next year remains up in the air.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's factory-made exports dipped in January, even as automobile exports rose, while imports of consumer goods slipped for a third straight month, data showed on Friday.
Manufactured exports dipped 0.6 percent in January compared with December in seasonally adjusted terms, the national statistics agency said.
Mexico exports mostly manufactured goods to the United States, its top trading partner. Weakness in U.S. factory output weighed on growth in Latin America's No. 2 economy last year.
Mexican automobile exports in January rose 2.1 percent compared with December, but the pace of shipments of other manufactured items fell 2 percent. Non-automobile exports have posted month-on-month declines since November.
Non-oil consumer imports slipped 0.1 percent compared to December, also down for the third month in a row, possibly reflecting the steeper cost of foreign goods after a deep slump in the peso MXN=.
Mexico posted a $1.833 billion trade deficit in January when adjusted for seasonal swings. In non-seasonally adjusted terms, Mexico posted a trade deficit of $3.441 billion.

Merchant-funded rewards programs continue to make their presence felt with the latest announcement from Intuit, parent of popular personal financial management tools including Quicken, Mint and FinanceWorks. The company introduced a new feature that enables hundreds of financial institutions to offer personalized deals through consumers' favorite gadget: the smartphone.
Called "Mobile Purchase Rewards," the feature is an extension of a merchant-funded rewards program that Intuit offers to partnering financial institutions. Intuit also builds white-label mobile banking apps for some of these financial institutions. Mobile Purchase Rewards will be available on these apps.
Bank customers who have access to Mobile Purchase Rewards will receive offers and discounts at participating merchants based on their spending history. For example, gym membership charges on an account may result in cash-back offers from Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. After linking a deal to a debit card, the customer can redeem it just by making a qualifying purchase — no paper coupons are involved. The cash back is credited to the account at the end of the month.
The offers are powered by Cardlytics, a company that provides transaction-driven, loyalty solutions, which also partnered with big names such as Bank of America, PNC Bank and Regions Bank to launch their own personalized-deals programs.
Merchant-funded rewards programs have become extremely popular after big banks eliminated their debit card rewards programs in 2011. It was a response to new financial regulations that reduced debit interchange fee revenue for large banks with $10 billion or more in assets.
Intuit's Purchase Rewards allows smaller financial institutions, and their customers, to participate in this growing trend. Being able to take it to the mobile space is proving to be a very attractive proposition.
Where to find mobile rewards
Currently, 125 financial institutions — banks and credit unions — offer Mobile Purchase Rewards.
Among those is Busey Bank, based in Champaign, Ill. with $3.48 billion in assets. "Mobile Purchase Rewards helps our customers save money and helps us build a more meaningful relationship with them," said Brad Hettinger, vice president of Busey Bank, in prepared remarks. At the bank, the program is called "Debits2Dollars."
Mechanics Bank, with $3.05 billion in assets, plans to offer Mobile Purchase Rewards to its customers when the bank launches its iPhone and Android mobile banking apps later this summer. The Richmond, Calif.-based bank already offers Intuit's FinanceWorks and Purchase Rewards products.
"We look forward to launching our suite of Mechanics Mobile Apps with Mobile Purchase Rewards soon," said Bradley G. Leimer, vice president of online and mobile strategy at Mechanics Bank, in an email statement. "Having seen immediate success with Purchase Rewards within Online Banking, a mobile proximity-based rewards program sets up a deeper level of engagement between our customers, our great selection of checking accounts and debits cards offering ATM rebates and our local merchants."
Customers at other banks and members of credit unions may also have to wait a little. "We're rolling this live to hundreds more [financial institutions] in the coming weeks and months," said Intuit spokesperson Tobin Lee.
Intuit has partnerships with nearly 1,800 U.S. financial institutions.

Trees rumble softly as the wind flows through the valley.
Children filled with joy, laughing in the distance.
Open your ears and listen. Do you hear the sound of freedom?
The smile on a loved ones face as they achieve something great.
Looking through old photos of family and friends.
Open your eyes and look. Do you see freedom?
Fresh cut grass on a cool spring day.
The aroma of a favorite dinner after a long stressful day.
Take a deep breath. Do you smell freedom?
Fall in love, live your dream and don't let anyone hold you back.
The price for your freedom has already been paid in full, with blood.
Your hours turn into years for us; your pain, we carry for a lifetime.
The sounds, visions, smells and senses that you enjoy,
We sacrificed our enjoyment of those things the day we signed the dotted line.
We live our life listening to the cries, smelling the carnage and tasting the blood that was paid for your freedom. Sleepless nights, cold hospital rooms and isolation is our norm.
We fought in different battles and have seen different things. One thing in common is we would do it all over again just to know you sleep in peace.
America, we don't want your pity, your money or sympathy. When we pass all we ask is that you never forget the price of freedom. Don't forget about them and don't forget about us.

So, I am helping a client write an article. She needs to interview some people for this article and it can only really be her who does it. She's an engineer and she's a little nervous because she has never done this before. She wanted some tips.
I have interviewed a lot of people. Not in the disingenuous-reporter way, but in the way of having a deep conversation that, hopefully, leads to understanding. I really, really want to know what the people I interview think and feel.
Here's a generic interview list. To be sure, this doesn't fit every situation, but you get the idea.
- The entire C-suite
- Newest employee
- Oldest employee
- Couple of frontline salespeople
- Couple of frontline managers
- Happiest customer
- Customer that recently left (unhappiest customer)
- and one of each kind of customer
Before I wrote this post I did a quick google search on "Interviewing" and related terms. Most everything that came up was either about job interviews or pretty useless. Except for one written by the director Errol Morris. The gist?
Shut up and listen. But that's not an easy thing to do.
I have no superlatives to explain how good Errol Morris is. The stuff he gets, the way he puts it together — just amazing. He has to be one of the best living interviewers. The film he won the oscar for, "The Fog of War" is basically just an interview with Vietnam Era Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. Morris also directs commercials and his work includes the Apple switch campaign.
So, to extend the 'shut up and listen' advice, here's my two cents worth.
Don't be a jerk, be prepared.
It means that you don't need basic explanations for what you are talking about. You can get to the interesting stuff, right away.
In the moment, your intelligence is not all that useful.
It's not your turn to show off with a really bright person. It's your job to pull the best stuff out of the person you are interviewing. Humility and curiosity are the best tools for this job.
Your job is to keep them talking. Here's my best two tricks.
Say the last few words they said, but give it a rising inflection. Give it a rising inflection? (yes!)
(pause) Yes. Utter silence. Let the pauses stretch to give them space to talk. But also to give them space to think.
Be patient, the first half is always a waste.
You have to talk to someone for at least thirty minutes before they will even think about telling you the truth. If you talk to someone long enough and you are sincere about listening to them, there will come a moment — more often than not they will literally lean in and say, "Okay, you here's what I really think." For me, that's where the interview really begins.
If the subject is highly charged, you have to go back at least three times to get the truth.
I learned this from a defense attorney Wade Smith. He was defending a woman who killed her husband because he was beating the hell out of her. I happened in a small town in NC so nobody wanted to say anything. Her word against a dead man's. He went back to the beauty parlor where his client worked three times. The third time they yelled at him, "We ain't got nothing to say to you, why do you keep coming around?"
Wade said, "I'm sorry. I'm not here to bother you. I've walked all over this town and I'm not getting anywhere with anybody. But I'd just like to sit in the air conditioning for a minute." Then he sat down and waited. Didn't say a word. That's when one of the defendant's co-workers came forward and told him about how she would show up to work with bruises on her neck from where her husband had strangled her.
Yeah, shut up and listen. I guess that's still the best tip in this post.

Sightseeing Passes: When to use them, when to skip them
If I buy one of these passes, do I have to pay anything else to get in? No you do not. These passes are your tickets into every attraction and activity on the list. The discounts posted are what you can expect to have saved over the gate prices if you didn't have a card to get you in free.
Are attraction discount passes savvy or sorry? Anyone who looked into these in the past might just take a pass on the tourist pass. Most offered more choices of activities and attractions than we could possibly do in a short time. We felt pressured to play or pay. Plus they added shipping charges, and you had to order in advance and hope they came in time. Sorry, no.
How have tourist passes they changed? The new discount cards appeal to both visitors and locals, planners and procrastinators. Want to save around 20 percent or more on just a couple of activities you can do starting today and ending as much as a month from now? No problem. The Go City Cards now give you that option to custom build your own cards. You can order them online, and just show your confirmation on your smart phone when you go. The CityPASS has also gotten easier to use, and they feature a smaller number of just the places you'd want to go over nine days. The savings are big. And you can skip the ticket line in most cases.
What if you're a local? I've been using discount combo passes here in San Francisco to catch up with museum exhibits, take the kiddos to theme park, and to entertain guests visiting from out of town. For locals, the best options are the Build Your Own Go Cards that let you choose as few as two attractions or activities to do over a month's time, and you'll save 20 percent or more on each. Check it out and tell us what you think.
