Fourth email dated 1-31-2005 Stating their was delays due to the holiday season and they also had some delays due to mail inspection carried out at JFK Airport. Though they guarantee delivery within 21 days sometimes it may take over 30 days. If my order does not arrive in 60 days I will be assigned a "SUPERVISOR" and they will CONTACT ME and remedy the problem. Signed by Michelle Bond
NEVER CONTACTED AFTER 60 days I contacted them SHOCK SHOCK
Fifth Email dated 2-11-2005 OVER 60 DAYS AFTER order placed no contact from SUPERVISOR this one reads.
They have reason to believe that all or part of my order was seized.and that THEIR LAWYERS are looking into the legality of it. They hope that OUR mutual efforts can bring a resolution to this matter. WHAT our Efforts all they do is keeping sending me bogus emails. this time signed by Anna Glover

Elena Eliades
Ninth Email dated 2-24-2005

OF course didnt happened.
signed this time by
Amber Collins
Tenth Email dated 2-25-2005
Same exact email above signed by the same person
Eleventh email dated 2-26-2005
Stating that it could be late due to the holiday OR du to new inspections at JFK
Signed this time
This was the last email until yesterday
I received on today
12TH email dated 3-17-2006
That it is managament policy not to refund after 6 months from date of purchase. That they checked with the warehouse and none was returned so SHE ASSUMES they were stolen in shipment and again my problem not theirs.
signed by Amber Collins
Each reply email I received was from me asking each time for a REFUND ,,, All of these emails were the replies I received. EXCUSE after EXCUSEYou do not have to have a college degree to realize they were NOT SHIPPED that this company knew they were taking the money for these with no intent to ship.
I have been purchasing from another company and they have never had a problem with shipment. They even CALLED me to see if they had arrived and if they were satisfactory.
I could not get CIG4U to even return an email without it being a PRETYPED email that they use for everyone.
Get a little orginial if you plan on trying to lie to someone learn to tell the right ones with the right person
Yes I did agree on the website. But I agree to the terms you stipulated which included you actually shipping the cigarettes, which anyone who reads any of the other claims against CIG4U can see that it WAS NOT DONE.
They lied email after to email just until they could say OH you signed the agreement..I held up my end of the agreement they did not they LIED
As you can see from the emails they bounced back and fourth from excuse to excuse never staying consistent
Never supplying me with the SUPERVISOR they stated they would And supplying me with a supervisor is NOT bouncing excuses back and fourth
If you chose to buy (haha) or should I say throw your money away. Make it simple on yourself walk to your toilet and FLUSH the money away. Is the same affect as getting cheated by CIG4U
I asked repeatedly for my refund BEFORE 6 months had passed. they just strung it along until they could implement their policy I agreed to. And if they are not deceiving people they you are still a piss poor company as NONE of your shippments never arrive. I am sure there are more out there that got the shaft.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
AUTHOR: Lisa - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 29, 2006POSTED: Sunday, October 29, 2006
I was not happy in this job because of his attitude towards the customers, but of course all the empolyee's had to follow his rules, otherwise we would be out of a job, regardless of whether or not we agreed with them.
Since I left a year ago, I have been informed by some old collegues that I remained friendly with, that they since have no problems with customs, and a new manager which apparently is more interested in the customer's well being.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

In January 2007 I found MDO while searching for help for what should have been a very simple uncontested divorce.I filled out the requested general information and was given a case number by this site which uses the State of Michigan Seal along with pictures of the state capital,making it seem very legitimate.
The return email confirmed that I was eligible to use this service.I followed the directions and filled out the detailed information that was sent to be via email along with my bank card information to pay the $250.00 fee for this service which promises to prepare all forms by a Divorce Specialist and return them to you completed and ready to file in County Court.
After 2 months of weekly emails and phone calls to the desk of Kimberly Davis and David Smith (the only voice mails that are available when calling their number)I finally recieved a generic email stating that the email and phone systems had been down and this caused a processing delay.
Upon recieving this I again began the calls and emails and finally Miss Davis emailed me to state that I needed to complete my form as something happened the first time and some minor information was not on the form.
At this point she stated this was the only hold up and I would be recieving my completed forms.I did as requested and have never heard from them again.Now 4 months later I have no divorce forms,but Michigan Divorce Online has my $250.00,access to my Bank accounts,and all the personal information (including physical descriptions)on both myself and my husband.They have our INDENTITIES whenever they choose to use them.
I warn you to not fall for this and if you already have,file a Police Report,close all your bank accounts,Pull Credit reports on all 3 Credit agencies and have them flag your accounts to be watched.File a report with your District attorney,State Attorney General Mike Cox (see his article on Michigan.gov)and the Better Business Bureau. Read up on identity theft and take it seriously,I am Now!!!

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Holiday travel kicked up a notch this year as Random Acts of Culture ™ arrived at Miami International Airport. On Monday, November 22 (Thanksgiving week), five performers from the Miami Music Project surprised travelers with spontaneous performances of Leonard Bernstein's Maria and America from West Side Story. MMP performed eight separate Random Acts of Culture ™ throughout the day – a new project record.
In other Random Acts of Culture ™ news, our Philadelphia performance featuring 650 choral singers singing Hallelujah hit the front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer and is nearing the 6 million mark on You Tube.
Why Does Knight Foundation Fund Random Acts of Culture™? Knight Foundation, like its founders Jack and Jim Knight, focuses on promoting informed and engaged communities. To that end, we strongly believe in the potential of the arts to engage residents, and bring a community together. Hearing Handel, or seeing the tango in an unexpected place provides a deeply felt reminder of how the classics can enrich our lives. As you'll see in our videos, the performances make people smile, dance, grab their cameras – even cry with joy. For those brief moments, people going along in their everyday lives are part of a shared, communal experience that makes their community a more vibrant place to live. In these days of shrinking audiences, we also hope that these random acts will encourage people to attend traditional performances. We can't promise it. But it's hard to watch what unfolds during a Random Act of Culture®, and not be inspired to see and hear more

Dear Prospective Parents,
A recent LifeWay Research poll found that 7 in 10 Protestants ages 18 - 30 (mainline and evangelical) who went to church regularly in high school said they quit attending church by the age of 23. I can think of no better way to reverse that trend of this moral free-fall in America than by preparing our young men and women to engage their generation for Jesus Christ.
Unlike public school and secular private schools, we can answer the question, "Why are we here?" in a very powerful way. I could read countless stories from my master's thesis at Dartmouth of men and women who greatly impacted this country because of their sense of God-given purpose in life derived from the Christian worldview they received in school. What a wonderful platform God has given us through Central Christian School to serve this community for such a time as this.
Combining traditional and innovative curriculum and teaching methods, our educational program provides a strong biblical and academic foundation for each student. However, no factor contributes more significantly to our educational program than a superior faculty.
We seek talented teachers who are inspired by our mission and who can energize students and themselves in the learning enterprise. The growth and retention of inspirational teachers who are strong Christian role models for students is an important long-term factor in realizing the school's mission and vision.
As a Christ-centered, academically challenging community, we work to instill a passion for God, a love of truth, and a zeal to serve in each student. Each student is a unique image-bearer of God, and the school models amazing diversity as it seeks to fulfill its mission to prepare students for the 21st century.
Sincerely yours,
John A. Murray

Stockholm Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet)
Stockholm Royal Palace - known also as the Stockholms slott or Kungliga slottet - is the official center for the Swedish monarchy. It should be noted that this palace is different than the private residence of the royal family, Drottinghom Palace. It is adjacent to the Riksdag, the Swedish Parliament and the Renaissance-style building in Renaissance was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The stunning palace has hundreds of rooms decorated in Baroque and Roccoco style.
On the first floor are former royal apartments, on the second floor the state apartments and guest rooms. In the south wing are the chapel and the Hall of the Estates. The offices of the current King, Carl XVI Gustaf and the other members of the Royal Family as well as the offices of the Royal Court of Sweden are also located in the palace, as the palace is utilized for official purposes by the King.
Gustavus III's Museum of Antique Sculpture is housed in the palace, although it is only open during the summer. The Crown Jewels and other royal regalia are located in the Treasury, including the magnificent crown of Eric XIV. Grand suits of armor as well as ceremonial robes are on display in the Armory.
Practical Info
The palace is located at the south end of the Norrbro, in the old town on the island of Stadsholm. Come explore the history of the Swedish monarchy in the palace or watch the changing of the guard from the exterior.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Well we had discussed what he will be getting for me due to our full sponsorship agreement, and I was to get full audio and video ssetup, Fabtech suspension lift, Body Lift, Tires Wheels, and a new Paint job.
Weeks went by then months, I called him numerous times asking the status of my vehicle, and same story over and over I got "Your truck is almost done you will have it back soon". "Don't worry it is in a safe place".
Well 2 months go by and now I am getting really worried cause I have not seen any progress or where abouts of my car. I called him and demanded to see it. He finally tells me to come over to his house he has something to show me. What do I see sitting in his garage with only 2 lcd screens installed. Last I checked it does not take 2 months to install 2 lcd's
At this point I tell him that I want my truck back and to cancel the deal, but he tells me that he has already ordered all the parts for my truck. So I let him hold onto my car so he can send it into the shop to get the work completed.
Months and Months have gone by again, again I am getting the same stories and excuses why I can't get my car back "Its almost done", "I can't tell you where it's at right now", "I'll call you later". Within the few months I have been waiting for my car to be done, he ask me on many occasions if I could help him with some money so he can pay his house payment. I helped him a few times with some personal loans.
I was really starting to get fed up with not getting calls back, or getting updates on my car, so I started to do my own investigating and found which shop my car was in. It was located a Gomez Custom Tire and Wheels in Fontana. I made the choice to go into the shop and find out what the reason was my car was not released. The owner of the shop Javier Gomez tells me that there is a Lein on mine and a few other vehicles that had work done. He tells me that Alden of A&C Mobile never paid him a penny for any of the vehicles he put in the shop. So myself and the other two involved did some research and found that there was no Lein on our rides. He was actually in the process of getting the Lein done.
So myself and the other vehicle owners were forced to fork up some more money to get out our cars, so we are all out double what we paid for.
We need to stop individuals from stealing hard earned money from innocent people.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling
Mortality Quotes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
How we cite our quotes: (chapter.paragraph)
Quote #7
"By an act of evil – the supreme act of evil. By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart. The wizard intent upon creating a Horcrux would use the damage to his advantage. He would encase the torn portion – " (23.62)
If you rip a soul apart, wouldn't you damage it? Doesn't ripping a soul apart sound like a violent way to treat your soul? If Voldemort's soul is divided seven times, we can't imagine that any one piece is very healthy or happy. How can it be powerful, then, if it is a weak fraction of a soul?
Quote #8
"Well, Harry," said Dumbledore, "I am sure you understood the significance of what we just heard. At the same age as you are now, give or take a few months, Tom Riddle was doing all he could to find out how to make himself immortal." (23.78)
Why does immortality appeal to Tom Riddle and not to Harry Potter?
Quote #9
"'Further than anybody.' And I thought I knew what that meant, though the Death Eaters did not. He was referring to his Horcruxes, Horcruxes in the plural, Harry, which I do not believe any other wizard has ever had. Yet, it fitted: Lord Voldemort has seemed to grow less human with the passing years, and the transformation he has undergone seemed to me to be only explicable if his soul was mutilated beyond the realms of what we might call 'usual evil'…" (23.92)
So, if Voldemort has gone "beyond the realms of what we might call 'usual evil,' where has he gone? There's a competitive streak in Voldemort, a desire to be better, stronger, and more creative than any other wizard. It would seem he found the most difficult task a wizard could ever assume, and he proved that he could master this task. He is a talented wizard who is in search, constantly in search.

VOX Daily Formatting Revisited
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
March 3, 2008
Every so often I ask you about what you would like to see here on VOX Daily.
The last time I asked, there were some great suggestions that I implemented through VOX Daily itself as well as have addressed through Voice Over Times.
Today, I'd like to let you in on some ideas I've been mulling over with regard to how my schedule and the content on VOX Daily is organized each day.
For those of you who blog, you know that coming up with something on a regular basis for your readers is a challenge in itself, let alone the writing that goes into it.
Today I'd like to throw a few questions out to you that I've pondered over the last several days.
1. VOX Daily Themes
What would you think if VOX Daily featured a different subject pertaining to voice overs each day of the week? Let's say for example, Mondays were "Business" days, Tuesdays covered elements of "Technology", and so on.
Does that kind of structure appeal to you as a reader or do you like the random creativity that is currently gracing the blog?
2. Voice Over Workshop Postings
How do you feel about the number of voice over workshops that are posted on the blog? I haven't received any negative feedback about posting classes, however, I struggle with how to present the classes to you and wonder if you appreciate seeing them on the blog or if you perceive them as advertisements.
To be absolutely clear, I do not receive any compensation for posting about workshops or conducting reviews. I regard it as a public service for the voice over community.
In former years, I posted a summary of classes on a monthly basis but sometime in 2007 I began posting articles about individual workshop opportunities.
Have these individual postings on VOX Daily influenced you one way or the other to attend a given workshop?
3. Do you read Voice Over Times?
This is more of a curiosity than anything, but do you also read Voice Over Times to get industry news? Voice Over Times is the news website of the voice over industry and it covers breaking stories about voice acting and voice actors. In the future, I am going to be writing less "news" on VOX Daily and be focusing in on tutorials, editorials, interviews and the like.
Do you have any comments about what I've written or about what you would like to see?
Best wishes,

One small but helpful improvement to Vox Daily would be to include the specific information in the subject line, for example, for today: "Vox Daily - Improving and Revising" instead of just "Vox Daily."
Many issues of Vox Daily are worth saving and reading over later, but there is no way to tell them apart. Till now, to remedy this, I've been forwarding the archive-worthy Vox Dailies to myself with a more descriptive subject line and then saving it.
As far as themes per day, I think that is too restrictive. Stephanie, you already have your hands full. It would be more in the flow of information to bring to the fore whatever is newsworthy at the moment - be it business, technology or whatever. There are some weeks when technology is hot - and business isn't. Other times the reverse is true. Vox Daily has been free to follow whatever is newsworthy when it is newsworthy and I think that's good.
The workshop heads-up feature is also helpful. With so much going on, we could miss something interesting happening in our area if you didn't mention it here. I probably wouldn't go looking but I do read Vox Daily daily.

Hey Stephanie!
RE: 1. VOX Daily Themes
Themes might be a good idea in the sense that it would help YOU organize your thoughts, and give you some structure. Honestly, whatever you decide to do, will probably work!. As you know, nothing on the "Net is set in stone, so you could always try it & see how you feel about it... if it's too constricting, go back to "randomness" ;-)
RE:2. Voice Over Workshop Postings
I think it's GREAT that you post about workshops. As a Voice talent committed to improving, I'm always on the lookout for the next workshop/class, so YES keep doing that!
RE: 3. Do you read Voice Over Times?
YES! I love it. It's a great overview of what's going on in the various aspects of the industry!
As usual, you're doing a great job! Thanks!

Hi Stephanie!
I really like the variety of thing that you cover, but I think that if you did do a specific thing for each day of the week it would make it easier for you to come up with a topic each day. At least then it would be a narrower scope that you have to select from. How about doing a feature on rates sometime? We all have our own rates, although probably similar, but often times a custom project comes up where I am not sure what to charge. Maybe others have the same issue every now and again. I like what I see at The Voiceover Times too. Keep it up!Posted by:
I like the idea of different topics on different days of the week.
I also consider the listing of coaching sessions as an advertisment and don't think it belongs in VOX daily.Posted by:
Hi Betty,
Thank you for commenting and for your feedback!
I wish I could include more details in the heading of the email but alas, it is not yet possible. I contacted FeedBurner (the web service that delivers the VOX Daily emails) and it isn't possible to include the headline of the article alongside the name of the blog as it appears in the subject heading you receive as a subscriber.
Maybe in the future they'll work that in, but for now, it's simply the name of the blog.
I appreciate hearing your feedback with regard to scheduling and also the workshop opportunities.
Best wishes,
StephaniePosted by:
Hi Liz,
Thank you for commenting and for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad to hear that the volume of workshop postings does not bother you ;)
I might try a bit of the structuring, but as you said, nothing is written in stone!
Thank you for the support Liz.
StephaniePosted by:
Hi Tom,
Thank you for contributing to the conversation and for your idea about a posting on rates. We haven't gone down that road in a little while and it's high time we did.
Great ideas, all :)
StephaniePosted by:
Hi Stephanie,
1) I do enjoy reading VOX Daily. I also feel the title says is all. Short & sweet, and subsequently I feel there's no need to change it.
2) I have no problems with V/O class postings, just not all the time. (obviously) Maybe you can group them together when you have 3-4 that come up at a time.
3) I like VO Times, but can't get to it every time. Hope you folks stick to the voiceover aspect of it and don't meander away from your core audience too much.
Thanks for listening!
Bobbin Beam
Hi Gregory,
Thank you for commenting and I appreciate hearing your point of view. Could you suggest where the workshop listings might be a better fit?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as well as what others think too :)
Best wishes,
StephaniePosted by:
Hi Bobbin,
Thank you very much for commenting and for your suggestions. I like the one about the workshops. Do you mean list 3 or 4 in a single post? Just checking.
Voice Over Times is indeed going to stick to focusing in on voice overs and voice actors, no veering off in any other directions :) I find that there are many fascinating areas within voice over to discover and highlight, some of which have not been touched on or discussed as often as other elements.
Please keep the suggestions and feedback coming! It's all truly very helpful.
Thank you,
StephaniePosted by:
Hi again,
Yes, grouping all the workshops together in a single post would work for me. It would make things easier and faster to find in the archives, too.
Ever see the musical play, "I love you you're perfect, now change" ? Just kidding- LOL!
Thanks again,
Bobbin Beam
Hi Bobbin,
Thanks for letting me know :)
StephaniePosted by:
YES to Question 1 - Themes are excellent idea. I am learning my way in this biz and this site and this is important structure.
YES to Question 2 - I definitely could use some contacts in this area as I don't know whom to contact.
NO - I am not aware of the Times.
One suggestion/question/problem: I have trouble viewing the right-most words, phrase of this blog. I am using Internet Explorer Version 6. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for sharing your ideas, I greatly appreciate them! I'll let our web team know about the issue you are encountering in IE 6 and see what we can do.

Backpacks that are too heavy or don't fit right can put a lot of pressure on your child's growing spine.
Dr. Roman of Roman Family Chiropractic says depending on your child's age, their backpacks should weigh only between 10-15% of your child's total weight.
Make sure when you choose a backpack that the straps are at least two inches thick, and weight is evenly distributed.

David Price Eyes Dereck Chisora Domestic Showdown
By Steve Lillis, courtesy of The Daily Star
DAVID PRICE wants to defend his British and Commonwealth heavyweight titles against bad boy Dereck Chisora.
Del boy's British fight licence was withdrawn after a wild press conference brawl with David Haye back in February but he is expected to reapply next month.
Price, 29, who risks his titles against Matt Skelton at Aintree Equestrian Centre on Friday, said: "Dereck is a fight that interests me for the simple reason that he is a good fighter.
"After I get Skelton out of the way Dereck is the only one left at domestic level.
"There is David Haye, but it looks like a world title or nothing for him."
Promoter Frank Maloney believes it could take place next spring at a football stadium but Price warned: "It would have to be on the grounds that I was defending my British title.
"I want to keep my Lonsdale belt so Dereck must get a British licence."
Chisora hasn't boxed since being stopped in five rounds by Haye in front of 30,000 fans at Upton Park in July when they held Luxembourg Boxing Federation licences.
AMIR KHAN'S younger brother Haroon, 21, will make his professional debut at Manchester Arena on January 19.
[QUOTE=Hamza305;12746953]If he got into fighting shape, he would be far more formidable. He could easily hold a world title for some time but asking him to get into legit, fighting shape is asking for a lot.[/QUOTE] i like chisora but…Comment by OptimusWolf on 11-28-2012

By continuing to use Square-up you agree not to accept payment for items that could cause harm to others. What is on that list? That is up to them and they do not need to disclose it to you! So it could include guns, knives, rat poison, baseball bats, and in New York City, a super-sized Coke.

Exponential Invasion, a math puzzler from Danny Perski, is now available from the app store. Featuring a minimalistic presentation and though-provoking challenges, Exponential Invasion should get any good mathematician's juices flowing.
Exponential Invasion Pros:
- Simple presentation
- Muzak soundtrack and explosive sound effects
- Simple tap controls
- Challenging puzzles
Exponential Invasion Cons:
- Short campaign
- No social gaming network integration
- Moves aren't tallied in real-time
- Easy to hit progress reset button inadvertently
Exponential Invasion provides two dozen puzzles consisting of gridded areas full of blue towers and white attack numbers. Success is measured by the number of moves required to combine the white numbers into integers greater than the blue towers, exploding them and clearing the path for victory. Larger numbers can subsume small numbers by moving to adjacent spaces. Failure to complete the puzzle in the fewest moves will only earn two bombs and a note indicating how many fewer moves you should be able to finish in. Meeting the target explodes all three bombs. It's unclear what needs to occur to only earn one bomb or fail to earn any, which makes the three-bomb element an odd choice given its apparent binary nature. Regardless, puzzles aren't too difficult and the entire game can be completed in about an hour, leaving us clamoring for more puzzles.
Graphically, Exponential Invasion uses a simple, black-and-white theme with blue towers and red and green colors to indicate selectable grid possibilities. The soundtrack has a muzak quality, and explosion sound effects are used when a tower goes down. Controls are purely tap-based, requiring you to select a source cell and target. The gameplay has a certain allure that we really enjoyed, though replay value is limited by a short campaign and no social gaming network integration. We were also disappointed that our moves weren't tallied in real-time as we played, leaving us to count on our own or wait until completion to see how we did. A poison symbol on the menu screen is easy to accidentally tap, which will reset all progress. A universal app with cloud syncing across devices, Exponential Invasion is a 3.5-Dimple app that's a little pricey at its current $2.99 tag.
Exponential Invasion Review,

Your link to Wisconsin's land, air and water resources
Air quality improving, but group hands out poor marks
The American Lung Association on Wednesday gave poor marks in its annual report card on air quality to selected counties in eastern Wisconsin, including metropolitan Milwaukee.
In reports issued this week, both the association and the Department of Natural Resources lauded long-term trends for two key measures of air pollution – ozone, otherwise known as "smog," and particle pollution, also known as "soot."
The most recent figures show that air quality is improving in Wisconsin. The improvements are the result of increasingly tougher standards for the two pollutants. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Soot limits to be tightened
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is holding a news conference with reporters today to discuss new stricter controls for particle pollution, also known as soot.
The new limit is expected to drop from 15 micrograms per cubic liter to 12. What that means is that states like Wisconsin will have to ensure that soot levels remain below that level to meet federal requirements.
Soot comes form combustion sources like power plants, wood fires and vehicle exhaust. »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Effect of EPA's new soot standards on state unclear
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is setting new and tougher standards for particle pollution, otherwise known as soot.
The implications for Wisconsin are unclear. The changes will lead to cleaner air, but early indications also show that virtually all air monitors in the state now meet the standards unveiled on Friday.
If it's determined that Wisconsin is in compliance, it would mean that companies expanding or moving into the state would not be required to install more expensive pollution control equipment, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

When you invest in a retirement plan, you may incur a loss. The market is volatile, and your accounts don't always perform as well as expected. Though most investment losses are deductible on your income tax return, losses on individual retirement arrangements don't always qualify. To deduct a loss incurred on an IRA, you must meet strict requirements published by the Internal Revenue Service.
About IRAs
An IRA is a retirement account that allows you to invest pre-tax dollars. However, the IRS limits the amount of deductible funds you can invest in the account each year. If you invest more than the limit, you have made a nondeductible contribution. At the time of publication, the limit on deductible contributions is $5,000 for those under 50 and $6,000 for those 50 and older.
Traditional IRAs
You cannot claim a deduction for losses on a traditional IRA in any circumstance if the account is still open. If the account is no longer open and you have received all distributions, you may be able to claim a deduction for certain types of losses. However, you can deduct losses only if the total amount of your distributions is less than your basis in the account, which is the amount of nondeductible contributions you have made over the life of the IRA.
Claiming the Deduction
To determine the amount of your loss, subtract the total amount of the distribution from your basis in the IRA. For example, if you made $9,000 of nondeductible contributions to the account over the years and your total distribution is only $3,000, you have a loss equal to $6,000. You must itemize your deductions in order to claim the loss. Include the amount as a miscellaneous deduction on Schedule A of Form 1040. Total miscellaneous deductions must exceed 2 percent of your adjusted gross income for you to claim any loss.
The rules for deducting losses on an IRA are the same, regardless of whether the account is a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. However, while most contributions made to traditional IRAs are deductible, contributions made to Roth IRAs are always nondeductible, which creates a significant basis for the holder of an IRA account. Thus, Roth IRAs are more likely to incur a deductible loss than traditional IRAs.

To Anyone reading this, I am going to tell you and nothing more or nothing less:
We started dealing with http://www.metrograffiti.com this year, we gave http://www.metrograffiti.com the chance to quote on 35 location I met with Steve (not very impressed on the way he came over, he started talking about the competitors I should have told him I was not interested.
Unfortunately our company decided to use http://www.metrograffiti.com what a MISTAKE !!!!!!!
In seven (7) jobs he did the graffiti was still visable and the wall was completely damaged he promised he would let his insurance know about the problem on 2 location where damage occured.
Waited two weeks and decided to contact him, his exact words were and I quote "Metro Graffiti Lawyers have been advised I feel that we didn't damage the wall and you can take us to court" I couldn't believe what he had said...
We decided to get it fixed our selves (over $7,400) in damage to the outside wall.. http://www.metrograffiti.com is not professional at all in my books when a company does damage to a wall they should stand up and agree to pay the damage to the wall.
We canceled the contract with him and went with a company with offices all across Canada and United States, I am glad we did that it saved me lots of time and money and stress!!!
We would like to warn anyone hiring this "p***k" Steve Allair that he totally a scam and he is the one that scams people not other companies

When I called that number I was talked to very rudely by a man (didn't get his name) who insisted that I had excepted the call and thus the charges and there was nothing that he could do about it and I would have to pay. After arguing briefly with him I told him no and to let me talk to someone else. Well, after being put on hold again for way too long a lady picked up and told me immediatly that they would remove the charges. Her name was Shely (shelly).
I do not even have a telephone plugged in. My Verizon service was ordered for internet purposes only. After Shely at OSPLLC told me they would remove the charges, I called Verizon again to insure that all collect or any operater assisted calls are blocked.
I feel that one of these companies either The Billing Resource or OSP is ripping unsuspecting people off. Both should be investigated.

City manager pay averages $204,000
Survey finds some increases since 2010, but mostly not
Five city managers in San Diego County have received raises in base pay in the last two years despite the sluggish economy.
Base pay increased for the top municipal posts in Carlsbad, Coronado, Encinitas, Poway and Solana Beach, according to a compensation survey by The Watchdog.
The base pay for nine city managers elsewhere in the county has seen no increase since The Watchdog's last review in 2010, and three cities lowered what they were paying their chief executive.
The biggest percentage hike came in Encinitas, which hired a new city manager and boosted base pay by 20.2 percent from what it was in 2010, raising it from $180,000 a year to $216,399.
The previous city manager, Phil Cotton, had been working on a month-to-month contract until Gus Vina was hired from the city of Sacramento. Vina could not be reached for comment.
The next highest raise went to Solana Beach City Manager David Ott, who saw a 7.2 percent raise in base pay, climbing from $180,250 annually to $193,250.
Ott said the hike in base pay was actually 3.75 percent when adjusted to account for a cellphone and car allowance he no longer receives.
Ott had left Solana Beach after U-T San Diego conducted a similar city manager compensation survey in 2010. He rejoined the city last December, and said he has taken on several more supervisory duties than he previously had because of cutbacks.
The city eliminated its finance director and deputy city manager positions, transferring most of those duties to Ott.
"I have much more responsibility now, including parks and recreation and human resources and information technology," he said.
The city avoided having to lay anyone off during the recession, but has eliminated some positions through attrition, he said.
Carlsbad City Manager Lisa Hildabrand, who resigned Oct. 22, was being paid $230,492 — a 6.1 percent increase from $217,200 in the last survey.
The increase was Hildabrand's first since taking the job in 2008.
The hike made her the top-paid manager in base pay among all the cities, surpassing the $225,8000 that Chula Vista's James Sandoval and Escondido's Clay Phillips earn. Carlsbad has 807 full-time employees while Chula Vista has 1,092 and Escondido 957.
Poway City Manager Penny Riley has seen a 3 percent pay spike. Her annual base pay jumped from $217,219 in 2010 to $223,736 this year.
Also seeing a raise in base pay for Coronado's Blair King, whose salary has gone up 6.7 percent since 2010, rising from $193,000 to $206,000.
In San Diego, chief operating officer Jay Goldstone, reported no increase in his $250,001 salary.
Other cities that have kept their manager's compensation at the same level it was in 2010 are Chula Vista, Del Mar, Escondido, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, La Mesa, National City, Oceanside and Santee, according to the figures they provided.
The biggest drop came in San Marcos, where Jack Griffin was hired to replace Paul Malone. The City Council there dropped the annual base pay for its new executive by 22 percent, lowing the annual pay from $242,652 a year to $189,000.
El Cajon also got a new manager and lowered the base pay from $240,573 for Kathi Henry to $219,500 for Douglas Williford.
And after longtime Vista City Manager Rita Geldert retired, the $211,546 she was receiving in annual base pay dropped to $208,253 for new City Manager Patrick Johnson.
Many city managers are now paying more toward their retirement than they were before the economy went into the doldrums, said Bill Garrett, executive director of the California City Management Foundation in El Cajon, which provides training and related services to top city executives.
Newly hired city managers are typically getting less than their predecessors in San Diego County and statewide. Many perks such as cellphone or education allowances have gone away, he said.
"And a lot of them have taken some pay cuts if employees have had to take a cut," he said.
Garrett said the finding that nine city managers have seen no increase in base pay wasn't surprising.
"There are a few city managers getting raises, but that is an exception to the rule these days," he said.
Those who have gotten raises, he said, have usually been in the post for several years.
"Mayors and councils recognize the value of a good city manager and say let's be reasonable with compensation but also recognize the value of the work," Garrett said.
Oceanside City Manager Peter Weiss is among those whose base pay has remained static.
"I don't see any change in that in the foreseeable future," said Weiss, who earns a base salary of $225,000 overseeing 922 workers and a $356.6 million budget. "It's representative of what most city employees have experienced in the last couple of years, which is no increase."
Weiss, like most city workers, is now paying his share of retirement costs, a perk most cities used to provide.
His city has eliminated 150 positions in the recent years but did end the last fiscal year with a $3.6 million surplus, a result of personnel and wage cuts and a bump in sales tax receipts, the latter due in great part to higher gasoline prices.
Recession economics and the 2010 scandal over the city of Bell and its manager earning nearly $800,000 a year served as a catalyst to focus attention on municipal executive salaries.
Teamsters official Chester Mordasini and Garrett each independently said that served to pressure city councils to rein in exorbitant pay packages.
A logjam that had penned up worker salaries and benefits for the last few years is loosening for many municipal workers, according Mordasini, president of Teamsters Local 911, which represents city employees in San Diego, Escondido, Poway and Oceanside.
"We're finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and some new money," he said.
In Escondido, increasing city revenues helped land new agreements where workers are recouping recession-driven wage cuts and freezes in steps, Mordasini said.
"By June 30 of 2015, we'll be all caught up," he said.


text: I am Victoria and I am an addict....I am addicted to fabric, quilting, quilting magazines, quilting patterns and quilting web sites, and I am even addicted to thread! I have been a beginner quilter for about 15 years. I am still learning with every quilt I make. I am still making mistakes with every quilt I make. I love to do applique work. My favorite part of quilting is the hunt. The hunt for the pattern and then finding the perfect fabric for it. My least favorite part is the actual quilting. I used to hand quilt and then I started learning to machine quilt. I like to hand quilt much better but I am limited on time. I still do a small hand quilting project occasionally. I live in Michigan. I have 3 adult sons, 5 grand children. My 6 year old grandson lives with me. I also work as an assistant machinist/administrative assistant in a machine shop.

AbstractAqua is a major satellite mission of the Earth Observing System (EOS), an international program centered at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Aqua satellite carries six distinct earth-observing instruments to measure numerous aspects of earth's atmosphere, land, oceans, biosphere, and cryosphere, with a concentration on water in the earth system. Launched on May 4, 2002, the satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705 km, with a track that takes it north across the equator at 1:30 P.M. and south across the equator at 1:30 A.M. All of its earth-observing instruments are operating, and all have the ability to obtain global measurements within two days. The Aqua data will be archived and available to the research community through four Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs).

, updated August 27, 2013 at 8:16 AM
It's been more than two years since Avi and Julie Israel lost their son, Michael, to the evils of overprescribed drugs.
They've founded an advocacy group, Save the Michaels of the World; they've publicly shared their son's story to help others dealing with similar grief; and they've walked the halls of the State Capitol in Albany to push for new state legislation that has been hailed as one of the strongest in the nation against the abuse of prescribed drugs.
What keeps them going, more than two years after 20-year-old Michael Israel took his life on June 4, 2011?
"What keeps me going is I get hundreds of letters and hundreds of requests: Please help me," Avi Israel said Monday, before a news conference on the first anniversary of the new state law. "I can't turn my back on this. I wish there had been somebody there for us when Michael needed help. This is something that needs to be done."
Israel referred to parents like him and his wife, who either don't know the seriousness of their child's addiction or don't know how to treat it.
"In my son's case, it was a six-month window between 'Dad, I need help' and boom, a shotgun went off," Israel explained.
The Israels were there Monday morning, among other parents touched by a similar tragedy, as two state legislators marked the first anniversary of the state law designed to reduce prescription-drug abuse, a law that adds an important new provision starting Tuesday.
The I-STOP Law – the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing – aims to improve the communication between prescribing doctors and pharmacists. The law now adds a new prescription drug database, hailed by supporters as the nation's first such real-time online system.
Starting today, physicians will be required to check the registry before writing a prescription for most controlled substances. Pharmacists will have access to the same registry.
The intent is to slow the flood of excess opiates by reducing or eliminating "doctor shopping," where young people addicted to prescription drugs use multiple doctors to obtain multiple drug prescriptions to feed their addiction.
"This new tool will work alongside other changes initiated by I-STOP to ensure New York State leads the nation in fighting prescription drug abuse," State Sen. Timothy M. Kennedy, D-Buffalo, said at a news conference in the Evergreen Commons, on Buffalo's lower West Side.
Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo, referred to some users obtaining as many as a dozen different prescriptions for the same drug.
"The patient could always stay one step ahead of the system," Ryan said. "That comes to an end tomorrow."
Other parents who have lost their sons or daughters to prescription drug abuse stood behind the two legislators, along with the Israels, to hail the changes in the new law. The first half-dozen people signing in before the news conference were members of Save the Michaels of the World.
"This started out as Michael's legacy," Julie Israel said. "But it's much bigger than just Michael David Israel now. So many other families are involved."
Like Cheryl Placek of Niagara Falls, who lost her son, Daniel, 28, on Jan. 26, 2012.
"When I met Avi and Julie a week after we buried Daniel, my husband and I knew we had to do something," she said. "This keeps us going, to help someone else."
And Patricia McDonald, whose daughter, Adrianne, died at age 27 on Feb. 6, 2011, felt a similar kinship to the group, whose children died either from overdoses or by their own hands.
"Nothing really keeps me going," she said. "I'm a different person entirely, but the only thing I can wake up to every day is to try to keep other young people from being addicted, to keep the doctors away from unnecessary prescribing."
These families realize that the new legislation represents one of the first steps in changing the whole culture of the way drugs are prescribed now. They realize there are other key issues, including the lack of treatment facilities and detoxification centers for these addicts. And they point out that the face of drug addiction has changed.
"We don't have any detoxification facilities for the new face of addiction – an educated kid from a middle-class family, a good student, with no criminal background," Avi Israel noted.
Ryan and Kennedy also urged more local police agencies to take part in the state Health Department's safe-disposal program, which provides a secure drop box for unwanted or expired prescription drugs.
Only five such drop boxes have been set up in the eight counties of Western New York.
Both elected officials also paid tribute to victims' families for sharing their personal tragedies and helping get I-STOP passed, as those families sat behind them.
Avi Israel was asked what his son would say to him about his parents' tireless efforts.
"Keep it up, Pop," he replied. "He used to call me a crazy old man. Whenever I get something in my head, I stick with it.
"Michael would be proud."

Monday March 16, 2009
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina reliever Curtis Johnson strained a tendon in his right bicep and will be out at least a week.
The school said Monday that Johnson, a senior, would undergo treatment this week and be re-evaluated by doctors and trainers. Johnson missed much of last season with a torn labrum and a rotator cuff injury that required surgery.
He pitched to one batter in the seventh inning of Sunday's 5-4 victory at Mississippi State before coming out. Johnson (1-0) made five appearances this season, striking out 12 in nine innings of work. He also held opponents to a .182 batting average, second best on the Gamecocks.
