Nate and Cleo Pendleton, parents of 15-year-old Hadiya
Departing O'Hare International Airport
See more photos at the Chicago Tribune
I had to watch on MSNBC and they cut of the end. But I knew Chips would come to the rescue! 😀
Dont worry VC, Carolmaewy has a special *Google Alert* that apparently does not coincide w/ twitter or wordpress.
Just a reminder, Twitter will be down February 29, it will be back up on March 1.
No, oh no! I haven't a clue where my handkerchiefs (remember them?) are.
I was waiting for your Chicago post Chipsticks. I noticed you went dark for about 45 minute, it was worth the wait. Thanks a million!!!
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kasai! Hellooooooooo everyone! Still photo-hunting, will add more to the post.
Hello Chipsticks…Hope you're having a great day:-) Thanks for the wonderful..wonderful pics….as usual you Rock!!
Helloooo Chips! Glad to see you're having a topmost day! Lawd, is that even a word? Topmost. Sounds spectacular! 🙂
Back in the post before Rise&Shine (I think) someone posted a link of photos from GA trip. I think you should grab a couple from there for future cuteness!
Topmost back at ya! I think you'll like pics #35 & 41-45. Some in there you already quick-fingers got! LOL w/ appreciation!
Oh. My. Goodness. We never go hungry around here! {{{{{{{{Chipsticks}}}}}}}}
Oh no, I was actually referring to the feast of photographs and stories… And when I posted that I was 10th, y'hear…. Now look at me, in 27th place. 😉
'I was actually referring to the feast of photographs and stories'
I know. I knew. [I did know.] 😛
Thank you HopeFruit….I am still at work:-(…..Just thought I stop by and say hello to your lovely folks:-)
Have a wonderful W/End!!
Thanks:-)…Did you notice that pic #11….If I am not mistaken…. the guy with the Cell-Phone was able to get a pic of PBO ear…:-)
tehehee….I will take an ear….just to be able to be that close…I doubt..If I could even have the strength to hold a camera…:-):-) Let alone take a pic….
"At least He has an ear…I have nothing"
You should make a t-shirt with that caption 😆
Oh no Magapie, don"t encourage her further! Next thing you know she'll be dragging out her masterpieces that we managed to get her to leave in the basement a while back.
As long as the horse poop shoveling pic doesn't come out again. Or gawdforbid mankini! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have the most amazing president, in the truest sense of the (overused) word.
How much you wanna bet>>>> in 3..2..1…….Tavis and West will be having a Poverty Tour called "WE Made Him Do It"..
Oh Lawd! I'm off to the grocery store to by eggs & TP! I hear that combo makes great bus decal! 😉
LOL!!! You know these 2 fools are thinking of something…But we know PBO is way ahead of the game…
No less accountability and responsibility than someone driving a vehicle …
Oh, she got her ass handed to her on Twitter. Folks were not playing. You don't mess with our President….
Obvious that she didn't listen carefully to the speech—–always too quick to criticize and this time with a completely false insinuation. It's a game with the media, including MHP, finding fault with anything and everything Obama. Tiresome. Need more integrity in our news biz.
Dotster, I was tempted to tweet her the video of the speech from YouTube with a maybe you should listen again comment. I even clicked on the url, but then I thought, 'why bother?'
VC, I think you should have tweeted her the video of PBO's speech, just to let her know that some us do pay attention and listen to what the President actually says, instead of attributing to him things he did not say in order to justify criticizing him. It's really a shame that the professor, as dotster3 said so well, "didn't listen carefully to the speech," before unleashing her criticism of it.
On the other hand, I do understand your hesitance because if she didn't take time to "carefully listen" to the President's speech, she probably wouldn't have bothered to listen to it again. So, why waste your precious time and energy when you could expend it on more productive endeavors. But, as a general principle, these smug pundits, who spread untruths, need to be challenged whenever possible.
Hi Nath! I She was being challenged alright. n truth, there were several folks taking her to task or commenting on her misinterpretation, so, after pausing and considering attaching the video, I shook my head and decided not to.
I can't fault you VC, because there are times when I act exactly the same way as you did by deciding not to waste time and energy responding to people who are way off when it comes to dealing with reality. At the same time, I am very happy that there were "several folks" on twitter calling out MHP for distorting what President Obama said. I genuinely don't mind people who disagree with the president on policy and principles. What is so frustrating are people who criticize the president based on lies and distortions of what the President said or what he stands for. Such people, both on the right and the left, are, in my judgement, very difficult to engage in a meaningful conversation.
Absolutely Dotster, "a completely false insinuation" – she heard what she wanted to hear, to back up her already entrenched theory, but PBO most certainly did not say what she implied.
Well said, Dotster3! It's untruthful (I actually view them as unethical) statements like this that have completely turned me off and led me to stop listening to media pundits.
I raised the same point with MHP. She is criticizing PBO for things that she MHP said were important just last weekend on her program. these people never cease to amaze me
Good, because after he said that, he made a beautiful statement about single Moms.
Ha, maybe Magapie! Her tweet not only misrepresented what PBO said, it was ridiculous – a desire to "encourage fatherhood" is somehow blaming single moms for gun violence? That's shameless from her, he implied nothing of the sort.
I must however confess I find her very cute. Including the slight lisp and……. I think her heart is in the right place but ALL of these punditrons try waaaaay too hard to fill hte atmosphere with comments. Oh NO!! Now I'm gonna get blasted by MHP haters. "THAT SKANK?? YOU THINK THAT LYING SKANK IS HOT?????"
Magpie, may be you are the right person to deliver a message to her urging her to stop distorting what the President said. You could begin by confessing how much you adore her. Then you could proceed to point out that although you find her to be "very cute" you just didn't appreciate her making up shit about what the President said.
They can't help themselves. The president says something smart, decent and heartfelt and they have to destroy it. This was a speech filled with terrific ideas and deep compassion. But if pundits of any sort admitted the truth of what PBO said and actually supported it, they'd have to question their own identity. They embrace cynicism as a tool of their trade, while PBO addresses those who are eager to move beyond cynicism and embrace hope. With every word he says he's reinforcing faith in our government and optimism for the future. Hope, change you can believe in, is what it's always been about. Making us citizens again, rather than cynics.
They would blame him if he didn't mention it. There is no please the hinterlands.
How on earth could she disagree with any of this – and twist and misrepresent it??
There are entire neighborhoods where young people — they don't see an example of somebody succeeding. For a lot of young boys and young men in particular, they don't see an example of fathers or grandfathers, uncles, who are in a position to support families and be held up in respect. And so that means that this is not just a gun issue; it's also an issue of the kinds of communities that we're building.
….. There's no more important ingredient for success, nothing that would be more important for us reducing violence than strong, stable families, which means we should do more to promote marriage and encourage fatherhood. (Applause.)
You know, I — don't get me wrong. As the son of a single mom who gave everything she had to raise me, with the help of my grandparents, you know, I turned out OK.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yes you did.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: But — (applause) — no, no, but — but I think it's — you know, so we got single moms out here, they're heroic, what they're doing, and we are so proud of them. (Applause.) But at the same time, I wish I had had a father who was around and involved.
Loving, supportive parents — and by the way, that — that's all kinds of parents. That includes foster parents, and that includes grandparents and extended families. It includes gay or straight parents. (Applause.) Those parents — (sustained applause) — those parents supporting kids, that's the single most important thing. Unconditional love for your child — that makes a difference.
I think it's actually very sick to hear PBO talk about parenting in this way and not see that he was talking about the loving support of children by COMMUNITIES. She's getting her own buttons pushed for whatever reasons and it's NONSENSE. I'm so sick of people twisting PBO's words every damn day.
That's the thing Meta, if she actually argued with him over something he actually said, then fine – but why the **** did she feel the need to misrepresent him?
It infuriates me! Because what should be painfully obvious is that his intentions are for the good. He cares about the success of all of us.
She's expressing resentment that whenever PBO speaks to black audiences, it always seems to lean towards telling them to be better parents, which implies that black parents AREN'T good parents.
Well, needless to say, I don't see it that way Squarepeg. He's never once implied black parents aren't good parents, he has simply addressed the issue, in a very personal way, of absentee fathers – when he doesn't personalize/humanize issues he's criticized, when he does he gets the same. I'm tired of all.
That's part of MHP's issue, Chippy. To her (and to West and Smiley, for that matter) whenever PBO speaks to black audiences, he always lands on the subject of absentee fathers, as if that's all black people are and where all our problems come from, a people without fathers. They resent that because it makes them look flawed.
I get you Squarepeg. I have zero respect for West and Smiliey, they're clowns, but MHP has done some great work – that's why it gets me that she completely misrepresented what PBO said today. She should leave that kind of thing to Tapper, Todd and Co.
You know what, though? Even if that IS what PBO was saying….SO WHAT? I mean, it's not like it's not at least SOME part of the problem, IMHO. I mean, gun violence is a multifaceted problem. You have the overflow of guns in our streets (NOT the parents fault) combined with the absence of good parents, OR lack of good parenting. So if THAT's what MHP's having a problem with PBO saying, then she needs to go sit down, because he's right…black folks just like don't like being told what to do, that's all (as a black folk I can say that lol)
Anyone who talks about "problems" in the Black community without honestly acknowledging the issue of absentee fathers is a FRAUD in my opinion. In fact, I would view this President quite differently if he didn't talk about this issue – ESPECIALLY considering that he himself experienced that kind of abandonment first hand.
I think Melissa H. Perry is full of alot of crap, I'm a black woman and I know there are good black parents out there, and yes there are good black single parents out there too, good divorce parents out there, but let us not kid ourselves I also know that there are fathers out there who are absent from their kids lives, who refuse to pay a dime in child support, but they have kids all over the place. I don't fine one problem with the President bringing this subject up.
May I add this late observation to this post? It is not just black families that have single mothers, or fathers or live in dysfunctional relationships. Everyone knows the divorce rate is high. There are lots of whites in he same situations.
I think we all know that carolmaewy, but I speak to what I know as a black American.
:sorry, didn't mean that you weren't aware. Guess I think MHP wasn't aware. And how Smiley, etc. weren't giving him credit for reaching out more to blacks.
If MHP is honest about what is going on in these communities, she would know exactly what PBO means – and not misinterpret his words in that way. But she is intellectually dishonest and very patronizing when she pretends that acknowledgement of absentee fathers as problematic for these communities is the same thing as blaming single mothers for gun violence.
"How on earth could she disagree with any of this – and twist and misrepresent it??"
Exactly my sentiments, Chipsticks! It is as if these pundits think we are all stupid and we need them to interpret for us what the President actually said despite the fact that that we listened to, and read, what he actually said. MHP not only "twisted and misrepresented" what the President said, but she also insulted the intelligence of many of us who listened, or read, carefully what the President actually said.
Sounds just like, you know, Cornell West, who talked trash about her. 🙂
Indeed. Does she know that would mean "his" mom is also responsible for gun violence? Do people think before they speak (or tweet)? There are meta analysis studies out there that show that kids from two parent home have a stability edge that those from one parent home may not have.
It is not every kid, but in the aggregate this is true. While single mom, do fine most of the time, it is still the case that struggling alone to provide they will face hardships that a 2 parent home may not see. If a parent of a single parent home loses a job or gets sick there is a direct, immediate and significant financial stress put on the home. A two parent home might not experience those effects depending on what job the spouse has.
Can we not let, emotion rule reason? Jeez.
Couldn't agree more with you, Cman. It's just beyond me how anyone could argue that is not a good thing for a child to grow up in a stable, two-parent family – and how saying that somehow implies that single moms are failures. They are, as PBO said, heroic.
Well said, Chips! The President even went beyond the importance of two parents to emphasize the importance of community. I distinctly remember how Hillary Clinton's book, "It takes a Village," about raising children, was the rave of feminists of all colors. I also distinctly remember Black folks being enthusiastic about Louis Farrakhan's "Million Man March" which called on Black men to atone for their irresponsibility of not providing for their families. At no time did the President blame what he called "heroic single mothers" for gun violence. What was so disappointing for me is that MHP is a professor who knows fully that the issue of gun violence stems from a variety of causes, many of which the President addressed in today's Chicago speech, and has addressed in other speeches.
Cman, I am of the opinion that pundits throw these inflammatory comments/summaries/whatever out there to stir up the 'masses' and draw more attention to themselves. After MHP engaged in this 'dialogue' I noticed a tweet stating that she was on RevAl and her position/comments seemed different again. Sometimes I wonder if it's all game playing to them.
"Sometimes I wonder if it's all game playing to them."
VC, I think you are onto something here. Because no honest person could have listened to the President today and then concluded that the President was blaming gun violence on single mothers.
It;s not that you don't mess with our President, anyone can disagree with our President, but you don't lie about what he said. And POTUS did not put down single Mothers or try to say that single Mothers were responsible for gun violence. What's up with MHP? Is she going through something. I said this last week and I will keep saying it, MSNBC need to get some darn sense and hire Joy Reid. Replace MHP with Ms. Reid..
By "messing with our President" I meant just what you said – that she was lying about what PBO said.
Dear Melissa, I once thought you were very bright, when you occasionally appeared on Bill Moyers. Now, I reckon you would do well to, how shall I say, Put a Sock in It?! Yes, please.
Indian starts a tiny start-up company and sells it two days later for $176 million.
If it's your company, you can put a Chelsea tattoo on my face. Hang on, no, I withdraw that.
Oi you, if you're not careful I'll post that pic of you. You know, this one:
Oh my! What a nice round belly & decorated w/ stunning tats! /trying that mantra to take away the nightmare! YIKES Chips, I'm going to have to look under my bed, make sure all closets are shut tight!
Good for him and his team! I wonder what he's going to do with all that money. Do you have his phone number, Amk?
I have kerry's no. I heard he cleaned up pretty good from some old dood named buffet.
smh Fine, that's it, stand in the way of this new chance for me to climb out of poverty!
Loved the speech. Favorite part was when he told those boys that he was no different from them when he was younger. He just had a safety net, a more forgiving environment than they did. It's sooo true. You have states that actually try to help kids and then you have states who think locking kids up is the answer.
GB, I'll bet part of the difference is that prisons weren't privitized in PBO's youth. Now that organizations that run prisons make money on volume, the incentive is to keep stuffing them with as many prisoners as possible, rather than working on alternatives to incarceration.
GB, I also loved and appreciated that part. The President was speaking for many of us men who, without our families and/or " a more forgiving environment" might have ended up in trouble.

WOW I can hardly see, but I can tell he's swamped by people at the airport. 🙂
It's TGIF & I'm adding words to the Dick-tionary:
McQuackery. A condition most prevelant in those who lost the 2008 Presidential election & forthwith frequent MTP stage, host is a carrier.
Used in a sentence: "John McCain has been afflicted with a terminal case of McQuackery."
No wonder the Pope resigned. He wanted his Obamacare before he came down with a nasty case of McQuackery. His Holiness didn't want to be a statistic. He filed his application for Obamacare the same day he resigned.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is too funny…I'm on the floor. Oh my….. 🙂 🙂
They couldn't be more ridiculous, could they? Maybe they're afraid PBO will run for president again in his 70s. Of course, what they really mean is if a kids grow up smart, they'll vote for Democrats, so, in a way, they're right.
"if kids grow up smart, they'll vote for Democrats"
And that there is their greatest fear – you said it, Jackie!
I wish! I know I am going to blasphemy, but I wouldn't mind him being President for Life.
Really smart and responsible kids for unplugging the t.v. But throwing out the wine was not right. Even Jesus served wine to his disciples at the Last Super. Wine is sacred and should never be associated with "a vegetative state." I can absolutely attest to the fact that the mind is extremely alert after a glass or two of good CA red wine.
Are you serious? Then PBO might really wind up making a statement or two….(I thought I was joking for a while there)
Problem is in daytime radar cant pickup very well b/c of sun's interference, much easier at night.
"Since Vladimir Putin reclaimed the Russian presidency, U.S. officials said the number of such flights in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska have increased, but encounters with U.S. aircraft have remained "generally very professional."
'flights ….in the vicinity of …Alaska…have increased – Hmmm. Was Putin a friend of the Alaska Barbie? Is that why he's trying to make her relevant again?
There is another rumor going around alleging that Obama supports women's right to chose because he wants to kill all babies who plan to vote for Republicans in the future.
I have to ask Lawrence why he doesn't get Joy Reid to fill in for him sometimes. I did not watch Ezra Klein.

Live trapping involves attracting squirrels to a trap with food (bait). Many types of bait have been compared, including wheat, rice, peanuts, peanut butter, walnuts, acorns and hazelnuts and more recently lure, but yellow whole maize has proved to be the best all round bait especially in woodland situations.
Grey Squirrels will only eat the kernel and is a good activity monitor as well as bait.
Not only is it a favoured food, but it is readily available in quantity, is relatively cheap, stores well and is very visible to squirrels when scattered on the ground. Uniquely, grey squirrels only eat the germ of the maize grain and discard the remainder. This can be used to advantage to show whether squirrels have visited a trap site. The maize bait can be supplemented with a small quantity of acorns, walnuts, peanuts or hazelnuts to increase its attractiveness at times when squirrels are difficult to trap.
In areas of high songbird populations hazelnut or walnut oil will prove to be very effective in pulling squirrels into traps but has no visual pull to birds.

There are many restaurants and stores nearby. Room size and desk space were adequate. The hotel seemed rather old, especially the elevator, bu..."

TEAM CHEVY IN THE GARAGE PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY â ALBA COLON, PROGRAM MANAGER, NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES - CHEVROLET RACING:
âCongratulations to Mr. Rick Hendrick and the entire Hendrick Motorsports organization for the fantastic 1-2 finish at last Sundayâs Daytona 500! It was a great win by Jimmie Johnson, Chad Knaus and the No. 48 Loweâs Chevrolet Racing team, followed right behind by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Steve Letarte, and the No. 88 National Guard Chevy team finishing second!
âSpeedweeks was great for Team Chevy in many ways, beginning with the unveiling of the production Chevrolet SS and ending with several wins for the new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Chevrolet SS race car. We also enjoyed watching Danica Patrick make history in the sport by winning the pole position and leading laps. It was a memorable time, for sure!
âThis week the circuit moves to Avondale, Arizona, where we will concentrate on the challenges of Phoenix International Raceway. We all love this one-mile track, but everything will be new for our Chevy SS and the other Gen-6 race cars. This is where weâll all begin to get into the rhythm of the 2013 schedule, and when weâll see how we stack-up against the competition. This tough track demands the right balance in the race car set-ups in order for the drivers to obtain the optimum performance, which obviously translates into a winning performance.
âMany of the teams had an opportunity to assess the new cars in different configurations during a Goodyear tire test held at this track late last year. Packages were still being developed then, but at least it provided us an opportunity to start with some solid notes for this weekendâs race.
âPhoenix International Raceway has been really good to Team Chevy drivers, and we are looking forward to continuing our success with some more exciting racing here on Sunday.â
TEAM CHEVY FROM THE DRIVERâS SEAT:
JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 LOWEâS CHEVROLET SS â POINTâS LEADER:
âDefinitely a great start for the team. When we were sitting discussing things before the season started, we felt good about the 500, but we're really excited for everything after the 500. So, very hopeful and excited that our No. 48 car will be really fast in Phoenix, Vegas, moving forward. I think it's going to be a very strong year for us.â
DALE EARNHARDT, JR., NO. 88 NATIONAL GUARD CHEVROLET SS â 2nd IN STANDINGS:
âI think it's important to get a good start points wise. It's important to put a good foundation together. If you get behind early, it seems like you're still chasing that Chase (for the NASCAR Sprint Cup) spot at Richmond (Va.). It's good to get a good start, get a couple points on some guys. We're a good team. Hopefully we can keep the pressure on them and stay up in the top five in the points and win some races. I want to win some more races this year. That's our focus.â
RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 39 QUICKEN LOANS CHEVROLET SS â 5th IN STANDINGS:
âI like Phoenix, I like the racetrack, itâs challenging. Itâs a place Iâve raced at for the last 17 years. Iâve got quite a bit of experience at Phoenix; Iâve raced a lot of laps there. Itâs a challenging racetrack and, for that reason, itâs a lot of fun. Itâs unique and totally different on both ends of the racetrack, so itâs almost like two racetracks in one. Itâs definitely a driverâs racetrack. The driver really has to drive and hustle the car a little bit and still be smooth. Itâs those aspects that make the track a lot of fun to me.â
DANICA PATRICK, NO. 10 GODADDAY.COM CHEVROLET SS â 7th IN STANDINGS:
âNo. I mean, I think that would be unwise to sort of start telling myself that top ten is where we need to be every week. I think that's setting up if failure. The list of drivers in the Cup Series is deep. Daytona is a unique track. These tracks are different and unique. A lot about the car. I mean, you have to be smart enough to do the right thing at the right time. But it's very much about the car. I feel like I'm still sticking to âLet's see how these first five races go where we go to a bunch of different kinds of tracks, see where we settle in.â Then start to establish goals from there on out. The only thing we can go off of is at the end of last year and running solid inside that top 20, hopefully get inside that top 15. That's really all I can think right now. That's all I can think. It might change after five races. It might be better. Who knows? It might be worse. We're going to kind of pick up where we left off.
J.J. YELEY, NO. 36 ACCELL CONSTRUCTION CHEVROLET SS â 9th IN STANDINGS:
"I'm happy to get back to my home track after a great top-ten run at Daytona last week. I want to keep the momentum going this weekend in Phoenix and back up our performance."
DAVE BLANEY, NO. 7 SANY CHEVROLET SS â 16th IN STANDINGS:
"This weekend will be special for us as SANY America will be on board for the first time. Phoenix has become one of my favorite tracks since it was reconfigured and I'm looking forward getting there."
JEFF GORDON, NO. 24 PEPSI MAX CHEVROLET SS â 19th IN STANDINGS:
"I'd say it's a two-and-a-half groove track now. The bottom lane is still preferred but the outside lane works and the groove definitely widens out during the race. We know this race presents a huge challenge for us and for everybody, but I'm confident in the plan that Alan (Gustafson, crew chief) and the engineers have come up with. After meeting with the team about this race, I can't wait to head west."
PAUL MENARD, NO. 27 MENARDS/SERTA CHEVROLET SS â 20th IN STANDINGS:
âWe tested at Phoenix (International Raceway) last fall with the new Gen-6 car and it drove really well. Iâm looking forward to going to Phoenix; itâs a fun little short-track that can produce some exciting racing. The carâs aero package doesnât mean a whole lot at there, so regardless of how the new car runs, itâs going to be a good race. Phoenix is one of my favorite tracks and since the new surface is starting to age, the cars are beginning to get pretty racy again. We ran really well at Phoenix last fall, so hopefully we can get a good finish in the Serta Menards Chevrolet this weekend.â
KURT BUSCH, NO. 78 FURNITURE ROW RACING CHEVROLET SS â 26th IN STANDINGS:
"Being raised in the western part of the country it will be nice to get to Phoenix and feel the same things I felt in racing while growing up. Phoenix is a type of racetrack that you can change your strategy around multiple ways. A two-tire stop could be left-side tires. We had a strong run in the Furniture Row Chevrolet last fall in Phoenix, ran up front most of the day. The ending was spectacular when we wrecked heading to the finish line with flames shooting out of the car. Phoenix begins a new portion of the season and I welcome the change. We didn't have much luck in Daytona, being collected three times in accidents."
JEFF BURTON, NO. 31 CHEERIOS CHEVROLET SS â 28th IN STANDINGS:
âI think all drivers have become accustomed to it. It is different now because when you get there and unload, the track has no grip and you have to pace yourself in practice. The track gets better throughout the weekend and it changes all weekend long. A lot of the time, the guys who donât look so good in practice are the ones who win the race because the track changes so much. Understanding the way it is going to change is going to be most important. Itâs hard to know how it is going to change.â
JAMIE MCMURRAY, NO. 1 MCDONALDâS CHEVROLET SS â 29th IN STANDINGS:
âIâm glad to be heading to Phoenix this weekend. We did a lot of work on the new Gen 6 Chevy SS during the off-season and I feel that this is a track where we can find out how all that hard work will measure up against what the other teams have done. Phoenix is a track where we have had some good qualifying efforts and good runs; we just need to put the whole package together.â
KASEY KAHNE, NO. 5 QUAKER STATE CHEVROLET SS â 34th IN STANDINGS:
âIâve always thought that the more often I go home or go to a race in Vegas or Phoenix, you see more and more people from Washington so thereâs a big fan base out there, and I think itâs still growing and itâll always grow so itâs neat. And with some of the new changes to the sport like bringing these new cars in, the Gen-6 car and Chevy SS for us, I think thatâs going to motivate a lot of people. For fans to see that car as what theyâre selling in the show room, itâs pretty neat. Iâm excited about it. Eventually maybe we can get a track up in the Northwest because I think itâd do great up there.â
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, NO. 42 TARGET CHEVROLET SS â 36th IN STANDINGS:
âThe Target team has been pretty good at Phoenix since they repaved it. We were fast when we tested there and weâve been good right off the truck since then. But with these new cars you just never know whatâs going to happen. To tell you the truth, even though Daytona was our first race, Phoenix is where you get to see exactly what each team has and who has progressed in the offseason.â
TONY STEWART, NO. 14 BASS PRO SHOPS/MOBIL 1 RACING CHEVROLET SS â 37th IN STANDINGS:
âI ran a day and a half at the tire test at Phoenix and we didn't even have a steel body car, it was a fiberglass bodied car. I didn't really notice a lot there. There was probably a bigger understanding of what we got during the one day we had at Charlotte than what we learned at Phoenix. The car's got a lot of downforce so far. Itâs a little easier to drive. For a new car to come out in that short amount of time, for it to drive that well, that's a pretty big feather in NASCAR's cap to have a car that drives that stable.â
KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 JIMMY JOHNâS CHEVROLET SS â 38th IN STANDINGS:
âIâve been on both sides. Sometimes you go back after winning a race and you run terrible, other times you go back and run well. This year we have a new car and a lot of new things to deal with, you to have an open mind on how to approach the weekend. Obviously, running the NASCAR Nationwide Series race will help by providing a little extra track time, but Phoenix (International Raceway) was a good track for us last year. We finished first and second in the two races last season, so weâre going back expecting that weâll run just as well.â

Returns information about XMPP partners authorized to communicate with your organization. The extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open-standard communications protocol for exchanging messages using XML. Allowed partners are IM and presence providers that have been authorized to exchange instant messages and presence information with your Skype for Business Server 2015 users. This cmdlet was introduced in Lync Server 2013.
Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner [-Identity <XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner [-Filter <String>] <COMMON PARAMETERS>
COMMON PARAMETERS: [-LocalStore <SwitchParameter>]
The command shown in Example 1 returns information about all the XMPP allowed partners configured for use in the organization.
In Example 2, information is returned for a single XMPP allowed partner: the partner with the Identity xmpp.contoso.com.
Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner -Identity "xmpp.contoso.com"
Example 3 returns information for all the XMPP allowed partners that have an Identity that ends in the string value ".org" (for example, xmpp.contoso.org and xmpp.fabrikam.org).
Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner - Filter "*.org"
The command shown in Example 4 returns information about all the XMPP allowed partners where Simple Authentication and Security Layer negotiation is required. In order to do this, the command first uses the Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner cmdlet to return information about all the allowed XMPP allowed partners. The returned partners are then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those partners where the SaslNegotiation property is equal to Required.
Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner | Where-Object {$_.SaslNegotiation -eq "Required"}
The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a standard communications protocol (based on XML) used for sending messages across the Internet. XMPP was originally named Jabber, and is supported by a number of Internet messaging and communication applications, including Google Talk and Facebook Chat.
In order for your users to be able to exchange instant messages and presence information with users on an XMPP network, that network must be configured as an XMPP allowed partner. (You must also assign your users an external access policy that allows XMPP access.) By design, your users will be allowed to communicate with users on any XMPP network that is listed on the allowed partners list. If you do not want users communicating with users from a given network then you must delete that network from the allowed partners list.
Skype for Business Server Control Panel: To view information about your XMPP allowed partners in the Skype for Business Server Control Panel, click External User Access and then click XMPP Federated Partners.
Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
Filter | Optional | System.String | Enables you to use wildcards when specifying the Identities of the XMPP allowed partner (or partners) to be returned. For example the filter value "*.org" returns a collection of all the XMPP allowed partners that have an Identity that ends with the string value ".org". |
Identity | Optional | Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Xds.XdsGlobalRelativeIdentity | Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the XMPP allowed partner to be returned (for example, fabrikam.com). If neither this parameter nor the Filter parameter is specified, then all the XMPP partners configured for use in your organization are returned. |
LocalStore | Optional | System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter | Retrieves the XMPP allowed partner data from the local replica of the Central Management store rather than from the Central Management store itself. |
None. The Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner cmdlet does not accept pipelined input.
The Get-CsXmppAllowedPartner cmdlet returns instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.XmppFederation.XmppAllowedPartner#Decorated object.

An expired payroll check can create a financial accounting problem for any company. Companies may have to account for expired checks because employees fail to pick them up or fail to cash the check. Employers have various options for dealing with a final or stale paycheck, but once the check expires it creates additional work for the payroll department.
Employers are required to pay employees their final paycheck upon the completion of their employment, but they are not necessarily required to do so immediately, according to the United States Department of Labor. However, the requirements in some states differ from this fairly lenient federal law. Some states, according the department, require that former employees be compensated immediately, although this generally means the next payday and not necessarily the day employment ends. In some states, employers are required to make a record of any unclaimed funds once they have gone unclaimed for one full year. If this happens and the funds are turned over to the state, the employee or former employee will likely have to go through the appropriate state agency to claim his money.
Expired Checks
If there is a delay in payment from the time employment is severed, former employees sometimes will not deposit their checks because of the delay in receiving them. When this happens, it is the former employee's responsibility to contact the human resources or payroll department of his previous employer. This initiates the process of reissuing a check the employee will be able to deposit. Most states have a statute of limitations on how long the employer must make the former employee's pay available to him. Employees who still work for the employer are also entitled to their paycheck. If it is lost or destroyed, the employee should contact his company's accounting or payroll office to get a new check issued. The employer must verify that the check was never cashed, but once that is done, the employer must reissue a check.
Check Cashing
Employees who were dismissed from their jobs may forget about their final paycheck as they seek other employment. Employees still employed with a company may forget to deposit or cash checks as well. If these employees receive a check and it gets set aside without being cashed or deposited before it expires, the employee may still be able to cash the check. Some former employees assume the expired check is no longer valid, but your bank decides whether it will cash an expired check. Rather than going through the process of contacting the payroll department, simply try cashing the check first. According to Uniform Commercial Code § 4-404, the decision to cash the check is solely at the discretion of payee's banking institution.
Unclaimed Funds
An employer is not required to track down an employee to ensure he gets his final paycheck. Ultimately, the employee is responsible for tracking down his own pay. If the funds go unclaimed for too long, the state's statute of limitation's on unclaimed funds may expire, and the employer will no longer be obligated to pay. At that point, the employer must turn the money over to the state as unclaimed property. The employer cannot simply pocket the unclaimed funds. The employer is, however, expected to make a reasonable number of attempts to contact the payee regarding his unclaimed or expired paycheck.

Quote:If I get hurt and can't pay my mortgage, I loose my house and my investment. If I get hurt and can't pay my phone bill, I loose my phone service and in either case my credit report is f'd up. How many people are loosing their homes because of the current mortgage scandals? How many people didn't read and understand their contracts before signing them?I really have no sympathy for people who don't read the fine print, understand fully what they are signing, and then whine about it when it doesn't go the way they want it too. If people took the time to read the contract before signing it and didn't sign bad contracts in the first place, then fewer schools would offer them. A good instructor will provide adequate exit clauses, injury, moving, etc, or let the person get out of the contract if they ask, but legally, they really don't have to. You signed it, you agreed to it, it's your responsibility to honor it.Laura

The King of The Road
Road King is the bike of choice for most police departments in the USA.
I has great power and torque. For a large bike it is very agile and maneuverable. The seat is very conferrable for long rides. It also has large saddlebags, Sissy bar and Luggage rack.

My best ride
I love riding the Road King, great torque and comfort. Cruise control made the touring easy and really relaxed. The big luggage rack gives enough space for a speed bag. Even on snack roads are good to handle. either on mountain side or in the desert, I trust the Road King!

JONESVILLE - The Jonesville Lady Comets would not let a last-inning loss in game one�ruin�the second half of their home doubleheader with Quincy. After blowing a 3-2 lead in the�seventh inning�of�the opener, Jonesville bounced back for an impressive 9-6 win in game two.
�We worked way better as a team,� Jonesville�outfielder Logan Jackson said.
After splitting with the Orioles, the Comets hold a 5-3 record.
Jonesville Coach Chelsea Wright said picking up a split with a quality league opponent like Quincy is not necessarily a bad day, especially because her team made�significant improvement between game one and game two.
�They started hitting and focusing,� Coach Wright said.
Above all the Comets eliminated the excessive fielding errors that cost them the front end of the doubleheader.
They coupled this consistency with several standout defensive plays.
In both rightfield and centerfield, Jackson battled intense wind and harsh cold and came up with several nice catches. Jackson made a tough basket catch on shallow fly ball in the third inning. Three innings later, she shut down the Oriole rally when she snared a fly ball and doubled up the Quincy runner.
�You just have to be good at judging the ball,� Jackson said on playing in the windy conditions.
In the final inning, with a mere three run lead, third baseman Jenna Sigler handled a hard-hit ground ball and threw out the runner.
On the next play rightfielder Rachel Cleveland gunned down the second out by backing up first base on a routine ground ball.
The Comet pitcher sealed the three-run win by striking out the final Oriole hitter.
Jonesville takes a break from league play with games against Hudson on Thursday and Grass Lake next week. The Comets then face two formidable league opponents in Concord and Springport.
Coach Wright said she expects more tight battles like the game last night.
�Everyone in our league is pretty good,� Coach Wright said.
Game 1 T. Payn 2-3, 1 RBI K. Branham 2-4, 2 RBI and double J. Johnson: 8�strike outs for the loss
Game 2 L. Jackson 3-4, 2 double, 3 runs, 1 RBI Kenzie Branham 2-4, 3 RBI Kelsey Branham 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 double
Comets bounce back to split

Flashes of Pitino magic ten years after his back to back NCAA Finals? The Pitino RedBirds scored 32 points in the first nine minutes of the game! That's more than NBA teams score in a 48-minute game! But of course that didn't last for the rest of the game. But barring any injuries, this Louisville team looks like a Final Four candidate. They have a little bit of everything, a point-center in David Padgett, a space-eater in Caracter, an athletic forward in Earl Clark, a do-it-all T-Will, and such. Guards and free throws are their achilles heel, but with T-Will and Padgett able to organize the team on offense, it's not as big of a deal.
Meanwhile the Domers fell behind but were able to make a comeback towards the end of the game and gave the home team a headache! Meanwhile "Gody" is getting bigger and bigger, this time he scored 40 points with his first three career three pointers! "Gody" is a star baby! With a capital A! It's unbelievable!
The good news for Notre Dame fans is that this time around they are going to the NCAA tourney, they don't have to worry about just being left out, or losing half a dozen games in the last possession. They are in! Digger will be singing in March! And given their make-up, they could make it to the Sweet 16, but of course they could also lose in the first round.
Not to be a Debbie Downer to fans out there, but half of the NCAA tourney teams lose in the first round :)

As trends showed him emerging victorious, former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said a "disconnected" SAD leadership had "misled" BJP leader Arun Jaitley by convincing him to contest from Amritsar.
Singh was asked by reporters whether the SAD leadership had been right in inviting Jaitley to contest his first Lok Sabha election from Amritsar.
"That's where, I think, Akalis misled him. Because Akalis themselves have got disconnected from the public after being so long in power," the Congress leader said.
He, however, said that he was still waiting for the final declaration of results as he did not believe in counting chickens before they hatch.
The former Punjab CM also said that battles cannot be fought being on the defensive.
"You can never win a battle being on defensive, you have to get on offensive and put the opponent on defensive. I was always in offensive mode, whether in Army or in politics. So we put Arun Jaitley on the defensive, we put (SAD leader Bikram Singh) Majithia on defensive," he said.
Speaking on the poll trends in Amritsar, SAD leader Naresh Gujaral said: "I am surprised at the trends in Amristar. I think comparatively lower voting in the city spoiled the Jaitley's chances."

Markey Campaign Denounces Tom Steyer, Demands He Immediately Cease Facebook Advertising Effort Violating People's Pledge
Charlestown, Massachusetts – Markey campaign manager Sarah Benzing released the following statement today following reports Tom Steyer has paid for Facebook ads targeting Stephen Lynch, a violation of the People's Pledge:
"Tom Steyer's online advertising effort, while limited to Facebook, represents a clear violation of the People's Pledge Ed Markey signed with Stephen Lynch. Ed Markey signed the People's Pledge to keep billionaires like Steyer from influencing our elections, and our campaign is committed to following the pledge now. We are taking action to notify Steyer's group about the terms of our agreement with the Lynch campaign, and we will make a contribution to the charity of Stephen Lynch's choice as the People's Pledge dictates. We once again ask Tom Steyer to cease his Facebook advertising campaign, honor our People's Pledge and end his involvement in this Senate race."
Earlier today Ed Markey released the following statement denouncing Tom Steyer's involvement in the race:
"As I stated when I first learned about Tom Steyer's demands on Monday, these kinds of tactics have no place in our political discourse and should be repudiated. Mr. Steyer should immediately withdraw his threats and ultimatum, and stay out of this Senate race. This campaign should be about the people of this state, and I remain committed to giving Massachusetts voters a debate about the issues they care about most."
Paid for by The Markey Committee

Sberbank and VTB Decline Most Since 2008 on Ukraine
Jason CorcoranOAO Sberbank and VTB Group, Russia's biggest publicly traded lenders, sank the most in almost five-and-a-half years on concerns tensions in Ukraine could damage their operations in the country and harm their home economy.
Sberbank, the larger of the two banks, fell 15 percent to 77.35 rubles in Moscow, while VTB fell 18 percent to 3.46 kopeks. The drops were the sharpest in both cases since October 2008. The benchmark Micex Index lost 11 percent.
The lenders have investment in Ukraine via local retail units and from Russian and Ukrainian companies that have borrowed funds to acquire local assets. The banks have also been hurt by the ruble, which weakened today to a record low after the central bank unexpectedly raised its key rate 150 basis points. A weaker currency encourages Russians to withdraw and convert ruble deposits, Sberbank's main source of funding.
"Russian banks appear very vulnerable due to direct exposure to Ukraine and expected destabilization of the funding base related to flight from ruble," analysts led by Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank, wrote in an e-mailed report today.
President Vladimir Putin ordered the deployment of troops to Crimea over the weekend, raising the specter of a military conflict. European and U.S. leaders have threatened sanctions against Russia, creating risks that economic growth will stall, demand for the country's assets will dry up and a selloff in the currency will deepen.
Capital Rules
Russian banks are seeking to grow in Ukraine after some western European lenders sold units in eastern Europe to comply with capital rules or state-aid conditions. Russia's development bank Vnesheconombank, state-controlled OAO Gazprombank and VTB are the most "exposed" to Ukraine, according to Fitch Ratings Ltd.
Sberbank, headed by former Economy Minister Herman Gref, said on Feb. 17 he is planning further expansion in Ukraine after more than doubling the number of retail clients to 800,000 in 2013 and opening an additional 50 branches.
VTB, which was organizing a $12 billion loan to Ukraine, said on Feb. 26 it had stopped lending to new clients in the country. On the same day, Alfa Bank, Russia's largest privately owned lender, said it's in the "final stage" of acquiring Bank of Cyprus's Ukraine unit for 224 million euros ($308 million).
Putin put the total exposure of the banks to Ukraine at about $28 billion, according to a Kremlin statement in November. Sberbank's exposure is about $5 billion, while VTB's is "slightly larger," according to an e-mailed report today from an analyst at UralSib Financial Corp.
"A collapse is unlikely, but some unpleasant jolts are expected," Natalia Berezina, banking analyst at UralSib, wrote.

GP Week : Issue 82
Technical Update: Monaco GP By it's nature, Monaco provides unique challenges for F1 teams. GPWEEK Technical Edito Paulo Filisetti explains The particular layout of Monaco, different from any other track, completely reverses the usual trend of back-to-back races, not sporting too many changes on the cars. Inevitably most of the teams didn't bring any big developments on their cars, but nevertheless all of them had to adapt their cars, to the particular layout of the Principality track. Of course most of the developments are aimed to increase the downforce produced, as this is paramount here, but on the other hand also other elements, crucial in terms of handling and braking were taken into account. to improve the handling of the car, in the slowest corners of Monaco -- Rascasse and the former Loews corner. Red Bull, on the other hand, adopted different brake discs in order to improve reliability following Sebastian Vettel's problems at the Spanish race -- they now feature smaller ventilation holes. On Thursday, the team used discs featuring small oval holes In qualifying but for the race the team opted for the same discs provided by Brembo to Ferrari Reverting to aero developments, Ferrari didn't use its F-duct system, and introduced an additional couple of winglets placed one each side of the shark fin tail. This change of course was introduced to increase the downforce generated at the level of the rear axle so to improve the traction on this very slow circuit. The wing angle was of course at its maximum figure both front and rear. Another team that brought a change already seen in Barcelona but refined, with the clear aim of increasing the downforce not just by means of the wing itself, but by improving the management of the airflow impacting the front wing, was Renault. The R30 in fact featured a further development of its front wing, with the upper additional profile featuring a longer vertical fin protruding rearwards, whose function is to manage the portion of the airflow close to the front wheels so as to reduce turbulence (but not with the aim of reducing drag), instead with the aim of not spoiling the quality of the airflow directed towards the bottom of the car exiting the front wing. Besides, the main profile is now provided with bigger and sinuous vertical fences splitting in multiple parts and directing the airflow passing underneath, so as to provide a rectified flow to the bottom of the car, useful to feed the huge rear multiple diffuser more cleanly. 12 F1 NEWS >>

Welcome to Greenfields Outdoor Classrooms
Greenfields specialise in the manufacture of hexagonal wooden gazebos which are ideal for use as outdoor classrooms for schools, playgroups and nurseries. The outdoor classrooms come with internal seats and have a number of roof and side options.
Our most popular gazebo – used as an outdoor classroom – has a capacity of around 30 pupils. The hexagonal design of the shelter works well as a teaching area and helps teachers to keep the children's attention for longer. Teachers have given us very positive feedback on the use of our gazebos as outdoor classrooms for schools.
Various accessories can be added as well as two gazebos being linked together to provide for bigger groups of children. For topics and lessons related to the environment this is the ideal shelter. Some schools have strategically placed the outdoor classroom in their nature area or conservation area.

History and information about Lodestone
I am producing a website for the yacht "Bleu de Nimes", which is the ex-RMAS Lodestone, a Royal British Navy degaussing vessel for submarines built by Clelands in 1980. She has recently been converted into a private yacht and is now temporarily stationed in Phuket, Thailand.
I am looking for information and pictures of "MS Lodestone". The reason is that I would like to include an "history section" about the Lodestone on the website. I have no knowledge of navy degaussing ships and I am trying to find the following: 1) General information and schematic drawings of how the degaussing of submarines worked in the 1980's especially with the assistance of a degaussing vessel. What was RMAS Lodestone's role and how did it work? 2) Good photo's of the Lodestone at work or at sea in her glory times 3) Stories or interesting facts concerning the Lodestone, tales of captains or crew who worked on her, voyages she made .... If there would be any ex-captains or ex-crew that would be interested in exchanging information with me, I would be really happy to talk or email with them. I have read an earlier thread from 2005 - 2007, and hope that some of you are still active in this forum. -> Could anyone help me with this, or would you know anyone who could? thank you so much, sincerely, Mrs. Marieke Derks attached a photo of RMAS Lodestone and one of MY Bleu de Nimes |
Hi Marieke, have emailed this link and the Bleu de Nimes home link to several guys who served onboard and are now retired.
ATB Stewart |
Hi Stewart,
Thank you so much, I have received an email from a CE who served on board of Lodestone and he has been really helpful. Soon (when the website is ready), I will post a link for comments on the history section. Thanks again, really appreciate it, Marieke |

A thousand snow geese taking flight. I walked up into this field where the geese had landed, at first a few took off but as I walked further into the field the rest started taking wing. Soon they were circling around me, then began to land again as they got used to me.
