Meet the International Man of #SocialMedia Mystery – Reg Saddler AKA @Zaibatsu
So what is it exactly that Reg and his company do? Ahem… the first rule of fight club – you don't talk about fight club. I can't believe you already broke the first two rules! My bad, I kind of led you into that trap. Look, I'm not even entirely sure what Reg does. What I do know, however, is that people listen when the man speaks. First, let's take a historical look at the meaning behind his nom de plume, Zaibatsu, to give you a perspective on what he's all about.
According to Wikipedia – Zaibatsu is a Japanese term referring to industrial and financial business conglomerates in the Empire of Japan, whose influence and size allowed for control over significant parts of the Japanese economy. So, basically, he's the Godfather of Social Media.
"If Howard Stern is the King of All Media, Reg is the king of SOCIAL Media. The guy just gets it, is always ahead of the curve, and happens to be a quality person to boot. If you want to know the first thing or the last thing about social media, if you want to know what is coming next, or if you want to understand how to succeed in the digital era, then find Reg- track him down and just try to get a little karma off of him!"
- Chris McGill, CEO of Mixx.com
"Reg's knowledge of social media, it's uses and potential, and his deployment of strategy on all channels, is unparalleled. He generously uses his extensive reach to help others. I don't think there is any other person at his level of social media who gives as much (or as freely or as often) as he does.
I'm fortunate to call him a friend and feel great joy whenever he receives the recognition he deserves."
- Terri Nakamura, Author of Confessions of a Graphic Designer
"Having moved 100 million pairs of eyes to content all over the Internet, Reg knows the 18 to 49 demographic like the back of his hand. Though part of his superpower depends on complete discretion about both his clients and his methods, a brief conversation with anyone who has used his services quiets any doubts immediately"
-Tinu Abayomi-Paul, Owner of Leveraged Promotions
Reg is a guy you want to know, to say the least. I've been privileged enough to be an acquaintance of his on FB, Twitter, and G+ so I've seen him in action. Many of you already know that he's appeared in the top 10 on numerous Social Media Influencer lists; which he absolutely deserves to be. What you might not know, and what I find to be one of his most endearing qualities, is that he engages with people from all walks of life. He'll still reply to your tweet even if you just barely made it into the top 50,000 social media influencer list! I've seen the how the other Twitter Powerhouses flock to him, pick his brain, and value his advice. He's a man of the people and, as you read in the testimonials, he just makes things happen. So, on behalf of everyone in the socialsphere, I'd like to thank Reg for all of his contributions. And for the So G readership, after you leave a comment giving Mr Saddler a shout out, I encourage you to head over to his Klout profile and make it rain +K!

TaS, you gotta understand that wielding the stick like a weapon, two handed hacks are usually massive suspensions. He swung hard, and if Franzen wasn't wearing pads, that would have hurt like heck. I loved the Wings taking a beating, dishing some back and not backing down. They are so much more confident on home ice even with the half empty crowd.
You know I was just kidding of course. I've seen your passion for the sport many times. It's awesome.
I'm not saying he shouldn't be suspended... but when I saw he wasn't hit in the face, I didn't really worry about it. Unless it cracked a rib, I'm not sure why he was down for so long though. Once you get hit by surprise and go to the ice, you may as well just act it up a little. It's what they do in soccer... except for the ice part.
Sorry i wasnt able to reply with u on the game. I was working at the office trying to get my little cubbie hole together. I ddint even know the tigers were on WGN until 2:30PM. Totally missed the game. I showed my girl the slice job by Calgary's backup goalie and she really gasped. Then I told her the repercussions of bringing your goalie and getting him kicked out. 1. I said if the starter comes back up, its like leading Orlando by 20 with 4 min to go and they cut it to 3. The starters have shut it down AND one can come back in and get hurt. well in Hockey, if the goalie comes back in and gets hurt...WOW. 2. Then, there's the next game. Is he getting suspended? Will it count now or next year? I'll see u at 9Pm...
Pronger didn't wear a heart protector and almost got killed by a puck to the sternum. Dumb hockey players...armor up! They must like soft foods cause they aint got no teeth. What did we do to that goalie?
Payback by Franzen with the game winner after yesterdays slash to the tummy! The pressure would have been on the Wings take care of business at the Joe if they had lost this one after out shooting the Flames 3-1 for this series. Finally they get to the second round. Go Wings.
Good game by the Wings. Proving once again that a great goalie can steal you a game or two in the series, but the better team usually wins. Kipper was outstanding, but even he can't work miracles. If you give up almost 60 shots, something is bound to go in. Now get some rest, boys, and onto round 2.
If Dallas wins tonight in Vancouver, the Wings will face the Stars. If Vancouver wins Game 7 at home, it'll be San Jose traveling to Detroit for Game 1. So who do we want? I think the Sharks have the more exciting team. Nabokov is a pretty good goalie and they have guys like Thornton, Marleau and young Michalek and Carle on their team. Might be a very tough matchup. I don't know much about Dallas. Seems like their defense is good. Any thoughts?
Ok, looks like I should have finished the article. Yep, we fared much better against Dallas this year. The Sharks blew us out on two occassions.
So was the goalpost Cleary hit with a minute or so to go in the third period. In the game it happens like that, you also need luck to win games. But sometimes you have to make your own luck.
Kip was making his own luck. 50 saves! I would even argue that he was so much in the zone that he knew that shot was going to his the post and didn't want to waste his energy defending it.
Kip was my fantasy goalie. It was weird rooting for him all year and wanting him to miss everything in the playoffs.
Kip was the ONLY reason you won the fantasy hockey. He stole it from me!! At least he's gone now. Now, if YOU would only leave.
He could've stolen the series from the Wings as well. I think many people are happy to be rid of him this year. Nabokov/Turco - here we come.
LOL. Bite me Wood shop! You had the best goalie (Brodeur) by far and paid less for him. I think Nabokov helped me as much as Kipper in the end. Brodeur had me sweating so much that I wasn't able to pull my goalies as early as I wanted to and it almost cost me dearly. I can't wait to resume our battles. Baseball and basketball are mere distractions now, lol. I'll bet Brodeur will be the number two pick next year (after Crosby), but I'll pass on him cause I hate the Devils. I've got another goalie in my mind.

The notoriously smoggy skies of Los Angeles are a little bit cleaner than you might expect, at least in one respect. According to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the levels of certain vehicle-related pollutants in Los Angeles have dropped by 98 percent since the 1960s. The study has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres but is not yet available online.
The study looked specifically at pollutants called volatile organic compounds, which are emitted by cars and trucks. VOCs are one of the contributing factors to ground-level ozone, which had hazardous not only to people, but also to plants.
The drop in VOCs was most significant from 2002 to 2010, when they were cut in half. This drop was despite the fact that drivers in Los Angeles now use three times as much gasoline and diesel fuel as they did 50 years ago.
"The reason is simple," the study's lead author, Carsten Warneke, a NOAA-funded scientist at the University of Colorado, said in a written statement. "Cars are getting cleaner." Contributing factors in the VOC decline cited by the NOAA include catalytic converters, improved engine efficiency, and reformatted fuels that are less prove to evaporation.
This doesn't mean that Los Angeles residents can breathe easier, however. While overall VOCs have dropped, some of the compounds remain at high levels. Propane and ethane, which are emitted by the burning of natural gas and other sources, have not declined as quickly. Another NOAA study recently found that a third VOC, ethanol, is increasing.
Meanwhile, although VOCs contribute to ozone, they are not the only factor influencing LA's infamous ozone-laden smog, which remains the worst in the country, according to the annual State of the Air report from the American Lung Association.
"Ozone and particle pollution contribute to thousands of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and deaths every year," Kari Nadeau, a Stanford Medical School professor and American Lung Association researcher, said when the State of the Air report was released. "Air pollution can stunt the lung development of children, and cause health emergencies, especially for people suffering from chronic lung disease, including asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Both long-term and short-term exposures can result in serious health impacts."
Industry News | New Products | Events | & More
Junk science give junk answers. The Lake Michigan study and the Texas DNR study found that VOCs were not the cause of ozone related smog. EPA need to turn back to scientific principles.
This success is even more notable considering that now much more ethanol is used in fuels now and these fuels have a partial exemption from evaporative (RVP) emission requirements. It's interesting to think that the air quality would have been much better w/o ethanol. Also, most ethanol is produced in coal-fired plants that also are exempt from MACT standards. Hence, despite this, we have cleaner air.
Interesting that an area with the highest ozone has asthma rates lower than the national average. I wrote an ozone blog on this subject. http://ozoneinformation.blogspot.com/2012/05/latest-nonattainment-vs-asthma-rates.html Please check out my website, www.ozoneinformation.com for studies and articles on ground level ozone you may not have seen before.

Summer has officially started, which probably means you've been grilling. If you need a little soundtrack to go along with your charred meats, think about checking out today's Hot Deal.
We found the JBL On Stage Micro III Portable Loudspeaker available at J&R for just $39.99. Less than 40 bucks? We're spent more on party chips and dips. That price is actually $60 off the list, and even includes free shipping.
The JBL On Stage Micro III looks insanely small, because it is small. In fact, it's small enough to have grill-side or even to throw into a bag for the beach or someone else's BBQ. It weighs less than a pound and works using four AAA batteries, which promises about 12 hours of playtime.
Inside this tiny package, there are two JBL Odyssey full-range transducers and a digital amplifier to crank out sound. If you don't want to use the dock, the device also has a USB port and an auxiliary input, for connecting other devices. If you do dock an iOS portable, it's easy to navigate through, via the included remote.
This is a great deal, so you may want to snag one of these for your next party or maybe just for the bedroom. However, you'd better do that soon; this sale ends on June 23, 2012, or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.

See our progress
While Lipscomb:Next will keep us occupied for the next five years, we're tracking a lot of milestones along the way. Thanks to the help of our donors, we've made great strides already.
Completed projects
We've just kicked off our Lipscomb:Next campaign, and as we go down our project list we will fill this page with completed projects.
Fanning Hall "Extreme Dorm Makeover" - Summer 2011
The first project in Lipscomb:Next was ambitious in both scope and timeframe ... fully renovating Fanning Hall in three months. Work began as soon as students moved out on May 9, 2011 after graduation. The residence hall was stripped down to its studs, and its infrastructure was rebuilt as crews worked 24/7 to meet the deadline. The results: creation of 10 study rooms, an exercise room and laundry room, improved energy efficiency and replacement of all furnishings. The hall was completed in August 2011, just in time for its new occupants to move in for the fall semester.

During The Past Week DR. J.\COB TARSHISH The SLCOiid of the .series of Sunday inoniing lecture which are being con¬ ducted at the Bryden Road Temple this year will take place Sunday, Nov. IStli, at 11 o'clock. R.lbbi Tarshish will speak on "The M-m Who Defied the Kaiser." These Sunday morning lectures have hcen very popular and it is expected that the interest on the part of Colum¬ bus Jewry will he even greater than it has in the past. These services have attracted an un¬ usually large group of non-Jews and it is expected that the better uiiderst<'ntd- iiig created as a result of such contact will add considerably to the many niove- nicnts wliicb are being conducted in our community hi relationship to good will and harmony between the Jew and Ihe non-Jew. At the first of the Sund<iy morning lectures hckl last Sunday Ralibi Tar¬ shish spoke on "If I Were Mayor." Among those who attended were Mayor Thomas of Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Ludwig of Bexley, Ohio, and their op¬ posing candidates for office; also, many other prominent political personalities of the city of Columlnis. Talking to an audience in which were seated the four candidates for mayor of Columbus and Bexley,. Rabbi Jacob Tarshish spoke on the subject, "If I Were Mayor," last Sunday ijiorning. He urged the candidates preafcnt that when (hey w'ere elected their chief thought iiiu.st be for all the pCojile they serve, not only the party that elected them. lie declared that this was the first obligation of the suc- rcssfnl candidate for mayor, governor or president. The rabbi stated that if he were mayor he would sec to it that schools and churches would function night and day, that he was a strong advocate for schools being turned ;into social centers for adults, where instructions in health and education ctiuUl be obtained by people \yhosc financial circumstances did not permit their obtaining further education lhan high school. He attacked the smoke nuisance, urging Ihe head of the adminis¬ tration to seek some method of <|limiiiating the smoke that obstructed the fresh air and sunlight from thfi citizens of Columbus. He recommended a course in politics .md executive administration for those who aspired to be heads of communities and advised that it would be well for the mayor to surround himself with a cabinet of men who were leaders iir the different phases of comnumity life. He urged his listeners to vote yes on all bond issues, illustrating his point by saying that no newcomer to a city ever a.sks what the taxation is, but they inquire as to the advantages for their families and them¬ selves. He particularly urged that tbe school levy and police and firemen tax be adopted. The rabbi will speak next-Sunday (tomorrow) on "The llan Who Defied tbe Kaiser." The general piihlic as well as every Jew in Coliim- bu.-> are most cordially welcome at the Sunday services conducted at the Bryden Road Temple. Rabbi Tar.shish announces that he will speak on a great variety of subjects of general interest and he urges all members to bring their neighbors and friends.

He was forty-nine years old. Dr. Blau, who was formerly rabbi of Pcni-El Temple, New York, watj appointed to the post of Senior Minister of the West London Synagogue in 1*J25.> He had been ill for some time. Dr. Blau was tho author of many works, Including "The Problem of Modern Faith," and "The Wonder of Life." Before serving as rabbi of Pcni-El .

A.)—A draft of a bill to prohibit the schechita in Prussia was rejected by the agricultural committee of the Prussian Diet.- The bill was sponsored by the deputies representing the anti-SenUtlc voelbische part. The committee expressed its de¬ sire to obtain accurate data on the number of animals slaughtered according<,'td the Jewish ritual and the number of Jewish families who demand kosher meat in pro- portifHi to the general Jewish population. ^^P fK^^_ H^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ Si- « NEW YORK—That American Jews have spent $07,402,640 for erection of synagogues' aiid templcS since January, 1!)25, is asserted in "The Reflex," in an aiticle by Uriah Z. Engclman. This sum, according to the article, is more than twice the total value of all tlip Jewish relifiious edifices in the United States in J!)lf) when the last religious census was taken. In 1019 the total value of the 874 Jewish religious edifices recorded by the census amounted lo *3l,0l2,57fi. Tlic sum of $()7,4r»2,610 does nut account for all synagogues and temples erected as information from 15 states was not available. What is the reason for this enormous outlay in view of the known decline of religious enthusiasm among the Ameri¬ can Jews? asks "The Reflex" writer. "The answer," he says, "Is in the changed function of the synagogue and temple. The latter is no longer the old-fashioned place of worship. It has become the rich man's club, The syna¬ gogue has ceased to be a place to com¬ mune with the Maker. Like the exclu- sK'C club its purpose is to provide the proper background on which to set oflt the changing economic status of the American Jew." The records to which Mr. Engelman has had access show that 274 such edi¬ fices have been erected since 1924. Dis¬ tributing the new buildings according to states and cities, he writes "wc find New York State heading the list with 77 new houses of worship. Pennsylvania fol¬ lows with 30; New Jersey with 23; Illi¬ nois records 19; Massachusetts 17; Ohio 12; Maryland and Florida each 10; Cali¬ fornia 9; Connecticut and Virginia each 8; Texas 6; the other states, four, three or less. "Of the cities, New York carries dff the honors with 2j new synagogues and temples, Brooklyn, including Long Is¬ land, follows next with 22 new houses for religious services. Philadelphia comes third with 10, and Baltimore fourth with five. The fifth place is claimed by New Orleans with four temples. The sixth place is shared by a group of cities, none of which had built during this period more than 3 temples or synagogues.

As I have a new 913 driver on the way, I'm looking to spiff up my 910D3 to get it ready for sale on e--bay. Any thoughts on how best to remove those small marks from balls & tees? I'm pretty sure the ball marks are from range balls.
not to sure how to remove the marks but what i did with the new 913 is to buy black tees seems to help out a lot
I agree with Jeff. Stay away from the white tees, and get some black or brown ones.
Get one of those club cleaning brushs that have tooth brush brissels on one side, and have brass brissels on the other side. Wet the brush in with water, then work it back and forth on a bar of hand soap until there is plenty of soap on the brush. (you may have to do this 2-3 times to get the soap soft enough to get plenty on the brush) Run a little water on your club enough to get it wet, then use the tooth brush type brissels to scrub the face, and sole of the club.. If you still have marks on the club, use the brass brissel side of the brush and gently scrub the club with it. You may want to scrub it a little more with the tooth brissel side to finish up. Don't use the brass brissels on the painted crown or any other painted part of the club since it may scratch the paint. of the club, but it won't scratch the face or sole.
Guys, get a magic sponge at the grocery store, wet it with water and remove the tee marks. It's no harder than that. cleans both the face and sole.
My best suggestion is wax. I used it and all of the marks come right of
Soak in a bucket of simple green and water, then wipe down. Gets out most marks. I also use black tees!

GNU Compiler Collection 4.2
The latest GNU compiler provides better support for parallel programming, and GCC also rolls out some new optimization features. We took GCC 4.2 for a test drive.
After much debate and the usual delays, the latest version of the GNU C/ C++ compiler (GCC) has finally materialized. Version 4.2 of GCC [1] follows in the trail of many major and minor changes. For a complete list of changes, refer to the GCC homepage [2].
The most significant change with version 4.2 is support for OpenMP [3], an open standard for program parallelization – especially for systems with shared memory. OpenMP lets programmers specify how the compiler and run-time systems will distribute code segments over multiple threads for parallel execution on multi-core systems.

DNA is an amazingly efficient memory bank for the design and scheduling of biological development. Cell DNA have their own replication systems, but human scientists who want to interfere with the content of the genome have been working to find ways to achieve artificial replication and synthesis of disparate properties, and now they may have achieved a landmark breakthrough.
The new process capitalizes on innovations in genome sequencing (reading DNA). Automated genome sequencing allowed for great leaps forward in the processing of daunting amounts of genetic code, and the eventual sequencing (mapping) of the entire human genome. Decoding the information contained in that map of human genetics was possible only because automation had allowed for a rational amount of time spent to sequence any particular strand.
Now, Harris Wang, a biophysicist from Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and George Church, have co-authored a study, published in this Sunday's edition of the journal Nature, in which they explain how automated merging of biological DNA and synthetic re-ordered DNA can allow for an automated replication process in which the engineering of whole new genomes piggybacks on the already existing natural process of cell division.

1. Heat the armature - you can hold it up to an incandescent bulb for 30 - 40 seconds. It will warm the metal up enough for the putty to stick to it.
2. Tap the armature with fresh putty - picked this one up from Derek Schubert (Thanks Derek!) just tap your armature with some freshly mixed putty. Keep tapping and after a bit the putty will leave a film on the armature. Apply putty normally from there.
3. Pinch and schmear - This is my favorite technique. I take a little pinch of putty between my thumb and index finger and using a fair amount of pressure just schmear it down the wire or armature.
Couple other thoughts for you. Make sure your armature is clean. If you're using Vaseline when you sculpt, try NOT using it to mix the one little bit you're trying to get to stick to your armature. After that you can go back to using lube again ;-)
Hope that helps ~

1) Sketch out the final shape at actual size.
2) Use a thin brass rod (stiff but slightly bendable) as the armature. Bend it if it must be bent to fit the shape that I want.
3) Mix my brown stuff, lay out an oversized glob of it on a piece of translucent plastic (so I can see my drawn shape through the plastic), push the brass wire into the glob, and put a second glob on top of the wire (sandwiching the wire between a top & bottom half).
4) After the brown stuff has cured, pop it off the plastic and carve it into the shape I want.
5) Add details with green stuff or brown stuff.
Like so:
Another option is to take the weapon from another metal miniature (essentially bypassing steps 1-3 above) and carve it into shape.
My advice would come from left-field; try using a piece of plasticard to cut and carve the shape of the blade. ...
Nice! Yeah, if you aren't going to cast the finished weapon, then plasticard sounds convenient.
And you're welcome for the tapping technique, Gene! I imagine that there's a microscopic film of oil or anti-adhesive magic around the wire, so I have to dab it off until I've exposed the sticky wire underneath.

Derek that's the most eloquent description of weapon sculpting I've ever read. You should get that pinned at the top of this forum, or better yet, make it a Reaper Craft article! :-D
Thanks! It's just what Werner Klocke does (and most other sculptors, probably), but if I've helped by explaining it well, then I'm glad.
I'll take some in-progress shots and make an article about the next weapon that I sculpt in brown stuff.
Now we just have to see whether it helps our friend @Loim make a nice Elven Curve Blade...

Now I would clip off the wire to the proper length (curve blades are two-handed weapons, right?) -- you'll cover the end with putty for the pommel. Add a little brown stuff or a piece of wire to give the inner structure for a crossbar/guard, let that harden. Then apply a finished layer (green or brown) for the crossbar/guard, grip, and pommel; stick the putty on when it's first mixed, and give it some general shape, but let it set for 15 minutes for you try to make the finished details, since otherwise it will just flop all over and you'll waste your initial efforts.

Sometimes I feel like part of me is still in Amsterdam. I suppose, with Gabriel still living there, that this is partially true. When I see our apartment on webcam, and hear the sounds of the Amsterdam street through the window, it makes it really hard to feel completely separated from that wonderful city.
When we moved to Amsterdam, I was very adamant about staying positive on my blog, and used that positivity to help me adjust to life abroad. There were, of course, negative aspects about living in Amsterdam, but I was often quick to forget about them. After all, those annoyances and nuisances made the city that much more interesting and real.
Having been away from Amsterdam for 3 months, I can safely look back upon my time there with an objectivity that perhaps I didn't fully have before.
Here are my top 10 lists of what I really really miss about Amsterdam, and what I'm very content to live without.
What I Miss About A'dam
1. Nights at the Bioscoop – The movie theatre in Amsterdam where we frequented (Muntplein Pathe), served up delicious popcorn that is completely different than in North America. It's also fun to drink a Grolsch beer while viewing the movie, especially if it's one that your boyfriend forced you into watching (ie. Transformers).
2. The fruit and veggie stall at the Albert Cuyp – I practically visited this stall every day during the spring and summer. There's nothing like picking out your meals daily from interesting little market stalls.
3. Fresh flowers on our table – The flowers are just so cheap in Amsterdam that it was criminal to just leave them sitting there in the roadside stalls. We always had fresh tulips, roses, peonies, or daisies throughout our apartment.
4. Cafe culture – The Dutch know how to enjoy a cup of coffee. In a cozy bruin cafe, while the rain softly falls outside, with a flickering candle atop an ancient wooden table. Gezellig.
5. Taking the tram – I didn't have a bike while I was in Amsterdam, but I did ride the tram almost daily. I miss stamping my strippenkaart and catching the tram at Stadhoudeskade.
6. The shoe stores – I once read somewhere that Amsterdam has more shoe stores than any other city in the world. One trip to the Kalverstraat, and you'll believe it. The boots are unlike any I've seen!
7. Church bells – There were always bells ringing, somewhere, in Amsterdam. I miss hearing the bells from the old church in De Pijp, and especially the melodic sounds of the Westerkerk.
8. Fries with mayo – No ketchup served with fries in Amsterdam! The delicious mayo with crispy frites in a paper cone is sorely missed, although my waistline may be thankful :)
9. The Dutch language – It took some adjusting, with all those guttural G's, to enjoy the sound of Dutch. Once I began learning, I really enjoyed trying to decipher the language daily. Now it's gone, just like that, and all of the vocabulary I spent hours learning is going unused. Sometimes my Dad and I will converse in Dutch though!
10. The photo opps – Everywhere you look in Amsterdam, there is a beautiful, interesting, or shocking photo opportunity. One of my favourite (and free!) activities to do was to grab my camera bag and head out around the city. I would come home with hundreds of photos of the craziest people, most beautiful architecture, and quirkiest shops.
What I Don't Miss About Amsterdam
1. The smell of the canals that would often drift into our pipes and fill our apartment.
2. The mice – They are everywhere in Amsterdam.
3. The grocery stores – I often felt that the grocery stores in Amsterdam left a lot to be desired. With unfresh produce, rotten milk, old merchandise, and yes, mice running around, I really didn't enjoy that task.
4. Pushiness – Canadians are known for being extra polite. Many times in Amsterdam I encountered especially pushy people, whether it was at the market or the movie theatre, it seemed like the concept of a "line" was a bit difficult for some to grasp.
5. Not being able to drive – It's so nice here in Canada, with my new car, and a clear understanding of the rules of the road. Numerous times Gabriel and I were caught driving on the tram tracks, or incurring some other traffic infraction. Oops!
6. Pigeons – If you don't know about my fear, click here.
7. The smell of marijuana – We lived very close to a "coffeeshop" where marijuana was the main item on the menu. Sometimes the smell was so unbearable in the summers when our windows were always open.
8. The public urinals – I always thought these were disgusting, even though they are slightly genius. I guess they serve their purpose, but the older ones in the center definitely have leakage problems.
9. Ordering food via phone – Ordering take-out was my responsibility, and it was so difficult sometimes trying to order food in half-Dutch, half-English. We were often happy if they made it to our house, even if our order was completely wrong!
10. Drunken yelling – We lived in a very popular area of Amsterdam with lots of great bars. At nights, in the summer especially, the shouts from the street below as people parted from the bar were quite annoying. Dutch people like to yell "Doeg!" (bye!) reaaaally loud.

I purchased a 2006 Ford Escape at Dick Masheter Ford. At that time I was given a card from ford and was told it would provide me with free oil changes and tire rotations for as long as I owned the vehicle. I got my oil changed today and since I have 30,000 miles on my car they said they needed to do the 30,000 mile check up. The cost would be $391.00 and I MUST do this if I wanted to continue to receive the oil changes. The way I understood it the oil changes were a benefit of doing business and purchasing a vehicle from Dick Masheter. For $371.00 they are going to look over the car, replace a fuel filter and the air filter and change the transmission fluid. I could go to a local mechanic who would do it for half that, but then I forfeit my oil changes and I can't collect on the other benefits of the card that I have not used yet such as the interior detailing and car washes. This simply is not right. basically I am paying for the oil changes through the additional maintenance that needs done. I took my estimate to a local mechanic who would charge me about half of what Dick Masheter wants. I realize the need for upkeep and maintenance, but feel as though I have been duped. If it were affordable or if I were not being held hostage by refusing further service until I schedule this one, I would do it in a heartbeat. I have been a loyal ford owner for 20 years, but doing business like this makes me want to switch to someone else. I doubt very seriously that a company as large a Ford cares about one car owner, but I thought I should at least make my voice heard. If I feel this way so do others who don't take the time to write they just buy a different make of car and then you wonder why you are loosing market share. Buying American used to mean a certain standard of excellence and customer service, but now I wonder. Sincerely, Lisa Columbus, OH I would like Ford motor company to honor the free oil changes for the time I own the vehicle without all of the strings attached. Make the maintenance on the vehicle more affordable through the dealer and I will be happy to have everything done there. Otherwise I should be free to continue my oil changes as promised when the care was purchases and collect my car washes and interior detailing. And get my car maintenanced and repaired where I choose.
I would be disappointed with this expensive "catch". Tires beingrotated and oil changes need to be done on a regular basis and are nobig deal to do. I could see requiring this if the service being provided couldcompromise or could have been compromised by other vehicle faults, butif that were the case, every oil change company would require aninspection before they changed your oil. $400 is a lot, and putting on 30,000 miles is probably a yearlyoccurrence. I can get about 15 oil changes for that price, but at30,000 miles would require 10 or less. It seems like this promotionwould cost you the 1 1/2 times the price of what it would cost not touse it. I would have expressed to them that it would cost you more to have the"free" oil changes for the life of the car, than it would for you topay for an oil change every 2000 miles. Seems pretty shady, especiallyconsidering your car is still under warranty and where I bought my carfrom inspections were covered by the warranty. Now if the inspection was $100 and required that would seem somewhatreasonable for the deal.
371 dollars will buy a number of oil changes. Yes you need to domaintenance. Hope you have something in writing or they will beat youout of it. Good luck.
Before I read the comments to a letter, I play a little game of "GuessWhat The Bullying Minions Are Going To Latch Onto To Blame The OP".It's a sad but oddly amusing game. Often they surprise me. They'llfind some obscure passage in the letter (usually irrelevant to thelarger issue), or barring that, they'll get creative and make upsomething. But this time--the old "because the company can" excuse?You're slipping, guys. You can do better than this. To Lisa: do you have anything in writing explaining the terms of theprogram? And did they say anything that specifically contradictedthose terms? If no to the first, or yes to the second, you may have acause for fraud. If you did receive the program details in writing and they wereforthcoming about them, just chalk it up to Karma for buying an SUV.
If you're in Columbus, why didn't you buy the car from Ricart? (http://www.ricartford.com/Ricart) Masheter is small potatoes comparedto them. Secondly, this is very odd to me. Ford has no program in place thatgives free ANYTHING to buyers, even on new cars. My presumption isthat this car was purchased used (based on the mileage and the year ofthe car). Somewhere your "understanding" of the program wasmisinterpreted It sounds as if they offered you a "program" so long as you abide bythe terms of the program (and pay any applicable "fees"). They want tokeep you coming in so they can make up for the cars they sold atinvoice, so they act like they're "giving" you something. I hate to state the obvious, but there's no such thing as a freelunch. No way no how is a dealership (or a maunfacturer) going tofront all the costs of maintaining your vehicle free of charge, nomatter what your "understanding" was. Don't want to pay their exorbitant rates, then don't! But don'texpect them to foot the bill to keep up your car for you. & the added conjecture about Ford's financial standing is pointlessand completely irrelevant to your letter. It's like calling aschoolyard bully a "doodyhead."
It's Ford. They're in trouble. All car dealers do this type of deal. You do have to do maintenance you know. It's part of keeping yourcar in good running order, regardless of oil changes which you shouldbe doing every 3-5 thousand miles. And being a loyal customer for 20 years doesn't really mean muchanyway. How many new cars can you possibly purchase in 20 yearsunless you buy a new one every few years which wouldn't be toofiscally responsible considering they depreciate by 20% once you drivethem off the lot. Keep going back. Deep down inside you know you're loyal on somelevel.
You are not being duped or held hostage - - these free oil changedeals from auto dealerships have strings attached and in the long run,it's less expensive to search for coupons and other deals to getmantenance work done.
These "deals" usually aren't as "free" as the buyer thinks they are. Most of these type promotions require that you have your regularlyscheduled maintenance done with that dealer. So, they aren't givingyou the apparent "perks" for free or just for being their customer. Over the life of your car, the items you mentioned could add up to$600 or so. That is the sort of money a dealer won't (can't) giveaway if you have bargained for a good sales price. I believe that if you had asked when you bought the car what termsthere were with that promotion, you would have found out therestrictions. It may or may not be in the fine print somewhere, but the bottom lineis anytime you think you are getting something for nothing, it pays toask and make sure.
Just change the oil yourself, its not that hard, and you don't have todeal with scams like you are participating in. I never do the 30,60,90k things at dealers. Most of it, the averageperson can do themselves, visual this and that, lubricate doors, andhood prop, sheesh, what a joke. If you cant do it, take it to your local garage and have them do it.It will still be cheaper than a dealer. Good Day
Ford does not own, operate, or control Dick Masheter Ford. Dick buys cars from Ford. He then resells them at any price he wantsand services them as he pleases. (Within the confines of the law). Ford also licenses their name to Dick. While they don't want theirname tarnished by a dishonest dealership, manufacturers do not revokethe license to use their name unless the "crime" is particularegregious. You say that you were "given a card from ford and was told it wouldprovide me with free oil changes and tire rotations for as long as Iowned the vehicle." Was the card from Ford (the car maker) or fromDick Masheter. Unless Ford issued the card, they cannot be heldresponsible for it. Regardless, I'm struck by your phrase "the way I understood it." Isthat what you assumed? What the card said? If the card makes no mention of any terms and conditions, such asyou've experienced, then you need to raise this with Dick. He'll needto show you where he's indicated that you're required to pay for theservice. I'm guessing that somewhere, he's got something that shows this. Itmay be on a sign posted in the service center. It may be in tinyletters on something your signed. Or it may be on the card itself. If not, then Dick's got some 'slaining to do.
You have not been duped. These free oil changes for life promotionsare a way for the dealership to ensure they get your maintenancebusiness. Work done at the dealership is always more expensive, it'sa fact of life. As someone else pointed out, other manufacturers do the same thing.
A lot of times, those offers are made by the dealership. My sisterbought a Toyota that had a 'free tires for life' promotion, but youhad to get ALL service work done, per the dealership's schedule, atthat dealership. As far as I know, Toyota as the manufacturer,doesn't offer free tires for life, that's something the individualdealership does to get your maintenance business. You say you want Ford to honor the oil changes without the stringsattached. Did you read the details of the policy. All of those freeservices for life plans that I've seen have had those stringsattached. You really should be writing this to the dealership where you boughtthe truck.
All car dealerships follow this practice. My friend has a kia. Shegets free tires and oil changes for life....if she follows up on theservices on the car.

Annie Get Your Gun
Wed, Aug 9, 7:30 - 10:00 pm
Silva Concert Hall, Hult Center
The Real Annie Oakley
Originally produced by Rodgers and Hammestein,
Annie Get Your Gun
starring Ethel Merman opened at the Imperal Theatre in New York City on May 16, 1946, and ran for 1,147 performances. The score, generally considered Berlin's best, contains many memorable songs and veritable hits, including the song which has become the professional anthem of the entertainment industry, "There's No Business Like Show Business."
OFAM is pleased to present our own new production of the 1999 updated Broadway revival, originally starring Bernadette Peters. Our own favorite Shirley Andress takes over for Ethel and Bernadette in a fresh new production set by Richard Jessup with sets by Jerry Hooker.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West arrives at a sleepy town in Ohio and, as a part of the pre-show promotion, challenges all local comers to take on the show's star sharpshooter, Frank Butler. The hotelier where the show is staying puts up Annie Oakley, a young woman who sells game to his kitchen. Annie beats Frank and Buffalo Bill persuades her to join the Wild West as Frank's assistant. Annie falls for Frank, and Frank falls for Annie, but Annie's talents inevitably begin to overshadow Frank's and she becomes a bigger star than he. Frank tries to take it in stride, but on the night he plans to ask him to marry her, Annie, wanting to really impress him, completely upstages his act with an amazing feat of marksmanship that has the crowds in an uproar. This is just too much for Frank and he leaves the Wild West to join the show of Buffalo Bill's rival, Pawnee Bill. Chief Sitting Bull, another star of the Wild West who has adopted Annie, tries to console her, but she is grief-stricken.
Annie sails to Europe with the Wild West and becomes one of the most famous women in the world, wowing audiences and collecting medals wherever she goes. Unfortunately, Buffalo Bill is obliged to give so many free shows to European royalty that the show returns to New York deeply in debt. Buffalo Bill has heard, however, that Pawnee Bill is rolling in dough and he invites his rival to a big bash in hopes to convince him to combine the two shows, thereby avoiding bankruptcy. Pawnee Bill is, unfortunately, just as in debt and has the same plan. All Annie cares about is winning back the heart of Frank Butler, while Frank, just as in love with Annie, hopes to win her back too. Unfortunately, Annie plans on winning Frank back by impressing him with all her medals, while he plans to win her back by giving her his one medal.
The inevitable happens. The two Bills realize that they are each dead broke, and Annie manages to completely bungle it again with Frank by blowing his single medal away by her hundreds. They get into a one-upmanship ("Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better"), which leads to another shooting match to prove once and for all who's best. Chief Sitting Bull finally decides to set Annie straight--or at least make her a bit more gracious--and suggests she deliberately lose the match if she wants to win Frank. This Annie does, but Frank is wise to her trick and being a totally cool dude (completely worthy of Annie's affections, after all), misses too. Buffalo Bill declares the match a tie, Annie gives all of her medals to the Bills to bankroll their new, combined show, Annie and Frank get together, and all live happily ever after!
The real Annie Oakley (1860-1926) would probably have been mortified by the image that Irving Berlin's 1946 hit musical
Annie Get Your Gun
painted of her, and as wonderful as the musical is, we owe it to Ms. Oakley to get the record straight!
Born Phoebe Anne Moses in 1860 in Darke County, Ohio, Annie was indeed set up by one of her customers, a hotelier, in a shooting competition against sharpshooter Frank Butler. She was 15 at the time and beat him. Butler was immediately smitten by the determined young woman, and within a year they were married. Six years later the Butlers began to perform together in public and Annie, certainly in part because a woman sharpshooter was a novelty, outstripped Frank's fame. But unlike the Frank Butler of the musical, the real Frank was never threatened by Annie.
In 1884 the great Lakota spiritual leader Sitting Bull saw the Butler's act in St. Paul and gave her the name "Little Sure Shot". He was, at the time, imprisoned at Fort Yates for his part in the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876 (the same year the Butlers had married) as well as subsequent hostilities. In 1885, the Butlers joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West. Annie was clearly billed as the star by this time, which Frank fully accepted and indeed promoted. The couple remained with the show for 16 years. As an aside Sitting Bull also joined the Wild West in1885, but only stayed with the show four months, due to his discomfort in Anglo society. He immersed himself in Lakota culture and spiritualism and was murdered in 1890 by Lakota policeman who had been commissioned by the BIA to keep Sitting Bull from joining the Ghost Dance movement.
This takes the Butlers' history up through the story told by the musical. After a long career together in show business and 50 years of marriage, the Butlers both died in November, 1926, within 3 weeks of each other. A legend in her own time, Annie Oakley lived on in literature, plays, film and the even comic books.
Berlin's 1946 hit musical can be forgiven for most of the license it took with Annie Oakley's story...it was, after all, popular entertainment. Two characteristizations, however, were unfortunate. First, the real Annie Oakley was nothing like the rustic, brash woman that Ethel Merman made her out to be. She was by all accounts, determined, competitive, serious, and "a lady" even in the rustic setting portrayed by her profession. Second, Annie's husband Frank was poorly used by the original musical, which makes him out to be a male chauvinist and an arogant chump. The 1999 revival not only removed the most objectionable aspects of the original's treatment of Native Americans, it also leaves us with a far more accurate impression of Frank Butler...a man who never would have robbed his wife of her greatness.
There are many good treatments of Annie Oakley in print and on the web. See the next section for links.
