WEEK OF PRAYER: One man's trash is another's treasure
Scott (in khaki pants), a Southern Baptist pastor from Oklahoma, visits with residents of a "garbage village" on the outskirts of Cairo in October 2011. Scott went to Egypt to find out how the church he leads could be part of God's work there. Southern Baptists, through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and Cooperative Program, have been influential in supporting efforts to train Egyptian churches in reaching their own people.

Children living in the garbage cities around Cairo face severe poverty, contaminated water and disease and are disparaged in the local schools. Those as young as 4 work with their families sifting through mountains of plastic, glass, paper, fabric and metal each day. Old tires provide a simple playground when the littlest workers have free time.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This year's Week of Prayer for International Missions in the Southern Baptist Convention is Dec. 2-9 with the theme of "BE His heart, His hands, His voice" from Matthew 16:24-25. Each year's Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions supplements Cooperative Program giving to support Southern Baptists' 5,000 international missionaries' initiatives in sharing the Gospel. This year's offering goal is $175 million. To find resources about the offering, go to
CAIRO (BP) -- A wise man builds his house upon rock; a foolish man builds his house upon sand. On the outskirts of Cairo, approximately 300 people have built their houses upon trash.
But amid the stench and squalor of shifting garbage, God is building a church on a firm foundation.
Desperate for shelter on the outskirts of Cairo, residents use whatever they can find -- sheets of tin and discarded cardboard -- to create makeshift residences within this garbage village.
For more than 20 years, families living here have collected trash from area homes and businesses to make some cash. It is estimated that the 17 million people of greater Cairo throw away 13,000 tons of garbage every day.
Men rise early in the mornings to gather refuse and transport it back to their community in weathered pickup trucks or overflowing carts pulled by horses or donkeys. Some businesses bring the garbage to them.
"Society looks down [on us]," says Joseph,* 31, who has lived in this slum for 14 years. "The smell is not good, the environment is not good." Regardless, he says, he has a message for fellow residents in one of Egypt's poorest areas: "You are not garbage."
Family business
Joseph's family moved to this garbage village from Asyut, Egypt, when he was 15. His father was a garbage collector and believed relocating closer to Cairo would offer more job opportunities.
Believing education was key to a better future, Joseph was determined to go to school. His parents sent him back to Asyut to live with his grandmother during the school year until he finished high school.
It was during his teens that Joseph began attending a Bible study. As he read the Scriptures, Joseph felt God transforming his life -- in more ways than one. He realized his worth in Christ was greater than his circumstances in the dump. At 18, he became a believer and the study group leader began mentoring him. He also began attending a nearby seminary.
It was around this time that a neighborhood girl caught Joseph's eye. Hiba*, who was born and raised in the garbage village, was a Christian when she met Joseph at a home Bible study. The two dated for five years before marrying.
As Joseph studied the Bible, the verses about God choosing the poor of the world to shame the rich resonated with him. Though he and Hiba had dreams of bettering their circumstances, God made it clear He wanted them to serve among their community.
"God put in my heart to build a church here," Joseph says. "That has been my dream since [becoming a believer] 10 years ago."
First worship service
In June 2011, Joseph saw his dream realized. He and several other believers began building a church from discarded cinderblocks and mud. A local Egyptian Baptist church heard about the undertaking and offered leadership and financial support. On Dec. 30, 2011, the church held its first worship service under a partial roof.
Since that first service, three people have prayed to receive Christ. This gives Southern Baptists reason to celebrate.
Southern Baptist workers in North Africa and the Middle East are training Joseph and local pastors in outreach and evangelism and providing them with needed resources to support church plants.
In fact, Joseph's church is but one of many in a rich history of Baptist ministry in Egypt.
"Southern Baptists were very influential through the Cooperative Program and Lottie Moon [Christmas Offering]," says Ron Robinson*, a Christian worker who served in Egypt for 29 years and witnessed the beginning of Baptist work. "When we first went [to Egypt], the work was evangelism that resulted in churches. That was our statement."
The work has led to a vital impact on Egyptian churches, which are answering the call to reach their own people.
"Now we have partners on the ground near cultural believers who are very capable of sharing the Gospel and dreaming of reaching their country and communities for the Lord," Robinson notes.
More dreams
Those partners include Joseph. He has more big dreams for his neighborhood. He hopes to raise enough money to finish the church building, which will take about three months to complete. In addition to bringing water and electricity to the entire village, he wants his slum be to legally recognized as a community by the government in Cairo.
His continued prayer is to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to all.
"In the middle of all this [garbage], where a person could be psychologically broken and worn out, I know and believe that Jesus loves the people and is looking for them," he says.
"I have lived this.
"God created us as a church, not to be closed in on ourselves but to serve the society around us," he adds.
"The people here are very precious to our Lord."
No matter where they build their houses.

Honoring A Legendary Alumnus

"This greeting is unique and so different from the others! It was a must have for us. Quality and design were excellent! Thanks for making our birth announcements memorable!"
"The customer service was above and beyond! After I submitted my order I received a phone call from them saying they could adjust some touch ups that I overlooked. I really appreciated it!!!"
"Everyone that has received Dahlia's birth announcement has just loved it. This was a great design that allowed me to show case several pictures. I had an amazing photographer, so I was looking for a classy design that wasn't to busy to showcase her photos. Also with the style of the pictures, anything to "cutesy" defeated the elegance. The snowflake design worked well into her being a Jan 1st baby, I just changed the message to Happy New Year!"
"Our daughter's birth announcements were easy to create, and on arrival we were very happy with the product! The cards arrived incredibly quickly to our home in Canada. As our cards were shaped as squares, I really appreciated the option of saving on postage by choosing the longer rectangular envelopes instead of the squares, which require almost double the postage. That being said, I did personally order the square envelopes as I was only having to send a few by mail and they were just too cute to pass up!"
"We played around with the idea of the post card and thought it was perfect because our daughter was born outside the USA"

Activision took time out from counting their money to let us all know that their Skylanders franchise has now chalked up over $1 Billion in sales. An impressive number, considering that the franchise isn't much more than a year old.
"The Skylanders franchise became the first kids' videogame IP to cross the $1 billion mark in just 15 months4, and I think we are still just starting to realize its potential," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. "We knew that the simple, but magical idea, of bringing your toys to life in a video game could change both the video game and the toy industries, and more importantly, change the way kids play. And this fall, we're looking forward to delivering to fans our latest break-through innovation, Skylanders SWAP Force™, which lets kids customize their own characters, bringing toys to life to a whole new level."
Normally these kinds of numbers are only seen when taking about Call of Duty, another Activision franchise, so it does make a refreshing change to see them gloat about something else for a change. However, this will only encourage them to push Skylanders as far as possible, which can sometimes cause a dip in game quality or franchise burnout; as with Guitar Hero. But with Disney about to release it's own toy based game and Skylanders: Swap Force out later in the year, I feel that this type of game still has a few years in it left.

Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," published about 55 years ago, virtually introduced African-written fiction to the rest of the world. Not only that, his story of a traditional village hero, come to grief under the Western ways imported by the British, has been a huge and continuing success, translated into numerous languages, and selling a reported 12 million copies.
Now in his 80s, having written a number of other novels on African themes and taught for years at colleges in the United States — Bard and currently at Brown — Achebe has published a kind of hybrid memoir. The first and more interesting part tells of his upbringing and early days.

More reviews by kissesinbetween
Gives my feet a slight cooling feeling.
But I would not repurchase this again as it was just average. As in I like it, but not enough to make me buy it again. (: I don't use it much anyway!
This product is amazing after being on your feet all day - or even if you've spent a hot summer day in shoes that make your feet sweat.
I like to use this to cool my feet down, or as an added treat after a bath. Really relaxing, and can take the heat off those pressure points on your feet, particularly the heel.
The smell is lovely too, really refreshing and cooling.
After a long day walk with high heel or sport shoe my legs gets irritated and hot and i just need someting cooling on it,finally i have found this item which solve the problems. Once spray on it my legs fell very fresh and cooling,i love it. With this item i can go through my daily hectic routine without worries on my sensitive legs.
I work in a dining hall at school and after hours of scrambling around and coming back to my room with aching feet, this feels SO good. I love it. I'm running out right now but will definitely repurchase when I have a chance.
I used to use this when I worked long hours outdoors at a famous theme park in FL and would be on my feet all day. Aaaah! Sweet relief at the end of the day. I kept a bottle in my locker and spritzed my feet after taking off my work shoes. I would also spritz the inside of them. I didn't mind the strong smell. My feet felt refreshed and I didn't have any icky issues with fungus or athlete's foot etc. I really think it helped. I still have a bottle at home but use it far less - after visiting said theme park as a guest or a long day at the mall. I would buy it again if I needed it. If your job requires you to be on your feet all day, I highly recommend it.
My mom complains when I use this,because she thinks the smell is horrible.Like a medicinal smell.
But it really does cool my feet and refreshes them.I wont be purchasing this again because I dont really need it.
I've bought this several times in the past but I don't think I would buy again. It actually does what it promises, which is soothe tired feet, and feels really nice and refreshing. However it camouflages odour with its strong peppermint scent rather than diminishing it, plus it's quite expensive to me: I find 7,50 a bit too much for a spray that feels cooling and smells nice, but doesn't help with sweat or deodorize feet properly. I'd rather spend 3,50 for my usual foot deodorant which smells good, feels incredibly cool, keeps feet from sweating a lot AND diminishes and prevents odour all at the same time.

I like the cooling sensation and the tingle it gives to my tired feet at the end of the day however i took one lippie off because it smells kinda herbal to me. Will repurchase though :)
Another of the excellent peppermint range (other favourites being the leg gel and pumice foot scrub). If you're in a hurry, great to take shoes off, spritz this through socks (we're talking winter or hiking), and result - rapid revival. I've used this at work (keep a bottle in office, for use in between bouts of teaching and associated on-feet activities) and while hiking (keep in backpack, gives your feet an extra hour or so when aching).
Costs around EUR 7.50/ GBP 5.00 / USD 8.00.
INGREDIENTS: Alcohol Denat. (Solvent/Diluent), Aqua (Water) (Solvent/Diluent), Glycerin (Humectant), Mentha arvensis (Peppermint Oil) (Fragrance/Essential Oil), C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate (Emulsifier), Panthenol (Skin/Hair Conditioning Agent), Menthol (Fragrance/Cooling Agent), Limonene (Fragrance Ingredient), Parfum (Fragrance), Linalool (Fragrance Ingredient), Denatonium Benzoate (Denaturant), CI 42090 (Colour). continued >>
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this spray! It cools my feet and makes them feel tingly, and not to mention smell good. Perfect for after work, or a on a hot day, or for your boyfriend's stanky feet. I'd definitely buy this again!

"You're 'The Big Bang Theory?' You do realize you're in the wrong part of the building?"
That's Griffith Observatory director E.C. Krupp, taking a stab at a little science humor as he escorts the cast of the CBS comedy juggernaut from the depths of the observatory's Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon theater up to the building's balcony. As puns go, it's inoffensive and the actors laugh good-naturedly, even if they've probably heard a variation of this joke — and a thousand other geek/comic book/science wisecracks — innumerable times over the years.
Krupp's quip is emblematic of the affection people feel toward "The Big Bang Theory," which, in its sixth season, continues to grow an audience as it explores the relationship dynamics between its socially awkward scientists — both among themselves and the equally smart and awkward women in their lives. The show doesn't lend itself to the kind of intense deconstruction of, say, Lena Dunham's "Girls," but this season its makers have demonstrated an increased willingness to deepen its characters within the boundaries of the traditional sitcom format.
The seven members of the ensemble — Jim Parsons (egotistical, empathy-challenged Sheldon), Johnny Galecki (Leonard, Sheldon's roommate and straight man), Kaley Cuoco (Penny, Leonard's level-headed, commitment-shy girlfriend), Simon Helberg (mama's boy Howard), Kunal Nayyar (Raj, forever frozen in fear by women), Melissa Rauch (Howard's microbiologist wife, Bernadette) and Mayim Bialik (Sheldon's prickly girlfriend) — along with showrunner Steven Molaro and primary director Mark Cendrowski, sat down recently for a lengthy conversation about the show, its direction and its mushrooming popularity.
Six seasons in, you hit the 20 million viewer mark for the first time. So, the obvious question: What took so long?
Helberg: I don't know. We've been out there handing out those fliers for years. I guess now it's on in syndication so much that you can't avoid seeing it.
And you've tried?
Helberg: Anything I'm on, I search out and watch. (Laughs) I have the DVR set and then just fast-forward through everyone else's scenes.
Parsons: I normally change the channel if I see it but, recently, I watched it until the end and it was really fun. It was long enough ago that things had changed. (Turning to Bialik) It was the one where you wanted sex ...
Bialik: The one?
Parsons: No, we were really going to give it to you that episode. So I call, looking for Penny's ex-lover, Zack, and I ask: "Are you the Zack that used to have coitus with Penny?" And he answers, "Coitus?" And I reply, "It means sexual intercourse. And I have the feeling I found the right Zack."
Galecki: You know, we've always been a word-of-mouth show. Early on, it was friends telling friends, "This might not sound like something you'd be into, but you should give it a shot."
Cuoco: And now it's on airplanes. You're forced to watch.
Helberg: Unless you jump out of the plane.
Cendrowski: People on the plane might be reading a book and they hear laughter and look up and there on 14 screens is "The Big Bang Theory." So they check it out.
Has that changed your ...
Parsons: Travel plans? Absolutely.
I was going to say "lives" ...
Cuoco: When you're in people's homes 10 times a day, they get comfortable around you ...

A word from Mesa Veracruz Coastal Cuisine
Chef-Owners Raul and Olga Reyes come from Alvarado, Veracruz, a town built on a mile-wide strip of land with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and a brackish lagoon on the other. With the bounty of the sea close at hand, fresh seafood is a way of life in Alvarado.Continued
It is this food that Raul and Olga brought to Dallas with their former restaurant, La Palapa Veracruzana, which the Dallas Observer named the Best Mexican Restaurant in Dallas and that Pegasus News called "fresh, flavorful, unique…a destination for people who like to eat food and talk about it a lot afterwards."
Mesa offers the same authentic coastal cuisine Raul and Olga have been cooking and eating since their childhood.

- Nice, Ok, FairReviewerDined on 5/24/2014The place was really nice with a very nice indoor patio area, which is where we sat. The food was OK. The ceviche was good, but the paella was not very good. My mother felt it was way to fishy flavored and I felt it was too soupy. When I got the dish, I thought it was a soup, but found the rice under the liquid. Finally, the service was not good. The server was nice, but I felt he was not happy with us being there. It is like he was serving us robotically, but not acknowledging our existence.Special Features:

- Mesa Veracruz on Valentines dayjrbraddickDined on 2/14/2014Our first try of this great restaurant was shortly after it first opened. I enjoyed the meal, but my wife didn't. After that she went a couple times with groups and really enjoyed it. I hadn't had a chance to go back until I got a reservation for Valentines evening. First, the food is visually impeccable. Their presentation is really nice. The taste is even better. I had the trout and my wife had the well known lobster and crab enchiladas. Both were great! We also had couple cocktails each, both were very good. The service was good, not great but good enough for our normal 20% tip. The waiter was attentive once he stopped by and our plates were removed and water filled accordingly. We end the meal with their chocolate tres lechesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great findJustAnAverageGuyDined on 2/14/2014I am happy that you have another great reason to come to south Dallas & Jefferson. Food was very good. I have never been here before, so I was happy that I scored so well on Valentines. The musicians were quality; they played a unique brand of music that seemed a little more classical than a standard mariachi band. I had the lobster enchiladas. My wife had the pork. We were both very happy. Our waiter was very engaging. You accommodated my reservation even though I was 30 minutes late. Thank you for that. The pricing was a little higher than I would have wanted. I wonder if that was a Valentines Day pricing. We will be back but the pricing might keep us from coming as frequently. We were coming from Coppell, TX.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experience!LibraryManVIPDined on 2/14/2014My mother & I wanted to have dinner when she was coming into town fora visit, but it was difficult to find reservations at many places since it was Valentine's Day. But Mesa was able to accommodate us very easily, and 2 friends joined us for dinner as well. The food was excellent as always. The ceviche rocked, and my lobster enchiladas were delicious. Our friends enjoyed the experience as well and said they would definitely be coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WoWDallasDinerDined on 2/11/2014I don't Say WoW lightly me and the wife try 2 restaurants we have never tried before every week of the year. This is a find out of our list so far it is #1 for food quality preparation taste and imagination. Best real Mexican food in Dallas and this comes from a massive list competition over 3 years. notables Ceviche, Huachinango Ala Veracruzana, Enchiladas De Langosta, Platanos Fritos. Drinks were top notch. Truth is this place blows Javier's on Coal Ave. AWAY hands down no contest.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This restaurant is not locatedJCDallasVIPDined on 2/7/2014This restaurant is not located in the more gentrified Bishop Arts District, but the parking and street, despite being somewhat rundown, felt very safe. Inside, the exposed brick lends a very down to earth feel to the restaurant. The wait staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was excellent. There was plenty of variety at our table of 8 and everything was delicious. Particular delights were the Red Snapper, and ceviche appetizer. If you want something much more than traditional Tex-Mex, this is your place.Special Features:
- Don't be put off by nearby storesLuvFoodDined on 1/17/2014(idea from OpenTable). When I got to the Street, I was nervous. I am somewhat of a foodsnob, so I figured no way this place was going to nice. However as soon as we walked in, I felt better. The place is cool looking inside and we were greeted by friendly people. The menu was simple but had breadth. We were a group of 5 (4 to 49). Everyone left happy. The guac and chips were great. Worth the price. I had the chipotle shrimp dish and it was excellent and fairly priced for the dish. I forget what others got but every plate was cleared except my daughter's dish which was a black bean and cheese appetizer which I tasted and liked but was a little different tasting for her. Good dulce de leches cake for dessert. I would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Real Mexican CuisineHappyEatingDined on 12/31/2013Mesa Veracruz was tasty...my BF ordered the Mole - based on other's reviews. It was delicious, but on the sweet side. The dish was only served with dark meat (we weren't asked for meat preference). I'm glad I didn't get it. The pieces were also small and served with a small portion of rice. The mole was overpriced for the serving size. The Chochinita Pibil (Mayan style slow roast pork) dish was a tasty treat with a lot of meat, except for the two big lups of fat included. The tortillas were fresh and made to order. My sides were rice, black beans, and sauteed purple onions; delicious & complemented my dish well but the habanero chile salsa was MIA. Food presentation is well done, staff was friendly, quick to help us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Awesome!MillerVIPDined on 11/30/2013We had heard a lot about this place but took us a long time to get there. Was worth the wait! Food was awesome, service was great, and the people/staff were very friendly. We brought some friends who are new to Dallas and wanted "mexican" food. They had been dissappointed so far with what they found in DFW. This place knocked their socks off! We're coming back and bringing more folks. Some neat stuff: Modello Especiale on tap! A half block form Texas Theatre. Easy parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- UniqueAmparoDined on 11/9/2013I didn't know what to expect since i got different reviews as many negatives as positives. When we arrived I was even more worried because of location. But as soon as I stepped in and was greeted and asked if we had a reservation which I did I knew that this was going to be a good experience. The people in the restaurant were sophisticated and you knew that they were there for the good food. And sure enough it did not disappoint. My husband had the carne asada, my cousin had a shrimp dish and I had the red snapper dish all very good, I had read where the portions were small and that it was pricey. We are so used to eating big huge plate portions, We also had the sampler appetizer and although pricey it was good. I would go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- When I booked the reservation,foodieDined on 11/9/2013When I booked the reservation, I asked to be seated in the back, "outdoor" portion of the restaurant, as it's quieter there. My husband has trouble hearing in noisy restaurants. When we arrived, we were told that the back had been reserved by a private party and were seated in an area where my husband could not hear anything that was said. After dinner, I went to the back and saw many open tables and NO private party. It was obvious that each table was independent and there would have been plenty of room to seat us there.Special Features:

- Incredible food, relative bargainvandylionVIPDined on 11/2/2013Mesa is one of the most highly reviewed and rated restaurants in the DFW metroplex, and those reviews are earned and then some. This is some of the most earnest, high-quality, unfussy, unique food in the city. The chefs' heart comes through on every dish. The mole is the best I've ever had. One of the chefs came out to greet everyone at each table and ask how the food was, which I always find to be a nice touch. Finally, the menu could easily tack on $10-15 to each menu item and the food would still be worth it - at the current prices, I think it's a bargain!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A gem in the neighborhoodTouristDined on 10/25/2013This quaint little gem is hidden behind a questionable facade but was definitely worth the derive from downtown Dallas.

- Fabulous food, great atmosphere!sistersDined on 9/7/2013Found Mesa through Trip Advisor, and it was so easy to make a last minute ressie through Open Table. My sister "won" the ordering contest with the Chicken Mole Enchiladas. So delish. The atmosphere was lively, and a bit local, which we love. Thanks for a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousPaparazziblondiDined on 8/31/2013I took my mom here who was in town for the weekend. I had heard great reviews about Mesa and wanted to take my mom somewhere she hadn't been before. We both ordered the lobster enchiladas, and they were to die for! Plenty of food for one person, but we both cleared our plates because they were so good we didn't want to leave anything. They had some great looking cocktails that I will go back and try soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Happy we came hereroschudinerDined on 8/30/2013Red Snapper was nicely seared, served over a bed of chard, rice and a slightly spicy, tangy sauce with olives, tomatoes, onions, capers...exceptional. Others in our group had the pork, also very nice, jicama salad, enmolados (also exceptional - their mole is really good, maybe a little on the sweet side but not too much), guac. Good bar and acceptable wine list.Special Features:
- Almost thereOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/24/2013While the flavor of the food and the quality of the cocktails lives up to the hype, the service rather hampered the pacing of the meal. We ordered the guacamole for an appetizer and the Lobster Enchiladas and Chicken Mole as our entrees with a side of vegetables to share. The server forgot to place the order for the vegetables and by the time we received them we were almost finished with our dinners making me wish I could have traded them for a desert by that time. We also didn't get our second cocktails until the end of the meal which again made us regret ordering them. By that time we would have rather had after dinner drinks. Mesa Veracruz has the food to account for their price point, but the poor service harms the overall experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food, amateur restaurantFoodie2inDallasVIPDined on 8/9/2013First- it is not in the Bishop Arts district. We thought we would walk around the district before and after dinner. It is an additional drive to get to the hub of the district. Second- the service was somewhere between slow and non-existent! Our waiter was more interested in talking to bar patrons than serving seated customers. I had no sense there was a manager present. Third, the only memorable thing about the food was it was not tex-mex! Good but wholly undifferentiated.
- Another Oak Cliff GemWwwwVIPDined on 8/9/2013Can't say enough about this great place to eat! Food was excellent, All four of us had the Mole Chicken because we had heard so much about it! The Mole was extra special matching some of the best in LA! Chicken was tender, fell off the bone and most flavorful. The rice was delightfully tasteful. Drinks were unique and good.

Our waiter could not get our drink orders right. He came back several times with we don't have this, and we don't have that. It's a nice family owned and run restaurant, but hiring the clueless nephew (or whatever) is not a good idea.

Somebody in the forums suggested rewarding customers based on tenure, which I think is a good idea. I don't think we should necessarily have to upgrade or change our services just for that.
My own suggestion takes that idea a step further and I'll make an analogy with my classical music radio station. It's a non-profit organization but I think the concept could easily be applied to Verizon. Whenever a listener pledges money to help fund the radio station, the listener is given a choice of a reward: a free music CD or a magazine subscription or a DVD depending on how much money is being pledged. Even for one of my local diners, I have a loyalty card which accumulates points every time I buy a meal there and when I get to 500 points, I get a free dinner. There is also a free dessert if I get to 300 points I believe.
For Verizon customers who have had the service for 3 years or 5 years for example, a gift card may be appealing to some people but I'm not sure that's for everybody. I think that can often depend on the area where the customer lives and we are all from different walks of life. So why not present the customer with some choices to reward the customer for loyalty, like a magazine subscription, a free DVD or CD, or coupons that can be redeemed at local retail stores or at the supermarket?
Remember too that it's a hard economy and I'm sure a lot of people besides myself really don't want to upgrade all of our services at this time and/or include more things that will cost us more over the long run.
With the Visa gift cards they currently use, they are giving the customer a choice. That's the whole point of the card.
You want a DVD/CD? Use the card to buy it.
You want a magazine subscription? Use the card to buy it.
You want money off of your bill? Use the card to pay it.
You want money off at your local stores and retailers? Use the card to pay for it.
It sounds like an "all or nothing" to me. So basically if you don't want the gift card, then don't expect any reward..."this is what we're giving you....if you don't want it, oh well". Not everybody wants a gift card with so much money on it or has a need for all of that. That's not doing me any big favors. I don't want a gift card. What's so terrible about allowing the customer to choose which kind of reward is most appropriate?
And even if it's only going to be a gift card, why not base it on tenure? And why should something like a gift card only be an incentive for upgrading your services? That's often the impression I get. Why not say instead, "For 3 years of service you get a choice of x, y, or z"? That's the basic point I was making. I was just thinking of coupons (that I could actually use) as an example because the coupons on Verizon perks are useless for me and I really don't need another piece of plastic to carry around. An immediate discount on something might be more sensible for some people. There are other things that could be included as choices. Or even this email I just got was offering a discount off of family movies on demand. Why not include that as a choice of a reward for tenure? How hard can that be?
For my services, sure I could upgrade my Internet speed and it tells me on line that I would be paying the same monthly fee that I pay now and I would get rewarded with a gift card. Really? Or is there more to it than that? Then on a separate screen, it tells me that this includes for example 24 months of free HBO or Cinemax. Well, you know what happens with that. After some point it won't be free anymore and then that will add even more to your bill. I don't even want HBO or Cinemax so why should I be wasting my time with that? If I were to choose that upgrade, I would get more TV stations thrown in. How many more stations could I possibly need? And then what? My rates go up even further over the long run than they would if I just leave it alone?
I am always skeptical about things like this because I just never know if there is a string attached or some other catch to it, like if you have to upgrade your service or pay more money in the end for something else. I don't need things to be more complicated than they have to be and my triple play service is complicated enough and pretty confusing at times when something goes wrong. There are many things that I honeslty don't have time for.
It wasn't that long ago either when a customer service rep was just offering me this gift card out of the blue when I called with a question about something else. That sounded strange to me. Was he just offering this to me personally? Something like that should be offered as something standard like in an email or snail mail based on a customer's tenure, not necessarily as part of upgrading your package and it should be across the board to reward loyalty and I think it's just plain weird to only offer that when a customer happens to make a phone call to 1-800-VERIZON about something.
I really don't care either way. A coupon or money off of something doesn't necessarily make me jump for joy.
But in summary, there should be rewards based on loyalty and not just extra upgrades and it should be broadened to include other things besides a gift card. And can a gift card like that literally be used anywhere? I'm not too sure about that. It's not exactly free money.
questioning - somegirl explained this better than I can, but here's another way of looking at it: Don't call it a gift card; a gift card sounds like you have to spend it in a store or restaurant, etc. Rather it's like getting a check. It's money. If you applied it to your FiOS bill, you could just figure out how much lower your bill would be, e.g., a $240 gift card for a one-year contract would represent a reduction of your monthly bill by $20.
The trouble with gift cards and rebates is that the consumer has to remember to send in the rebate request and remember to follow up if the reward or rebate is not received, which has happened to me very often. I believe that the companies count on a certain percentage of customers not mailing in their rebates, not following up, or not using their gift cards.
But the FiOS gift card only requires a tiny effort, and it's MONEY.
I only hope that they're still offering the card when my contract is up and that it's for a large amount.
Verizon has never, to my knowledge, offered a reward for being a loyal customer. I have (or shall I say had) been one since FIOS came to my area in 2005 or 2006. I have never been offered anything when renewing my contract or calling for specials other than a $10 discount off of the service bundle cost or maybe a month or two of a couple free movie channels.I have been a triple play bundle subscriber for years. Any discount that they offered me was only a slight offset to the price increases so really not a discount at all.
I often suggested to Verizon that they reward long time customers by letting them renew under a new customer offering package one time for every 3-5 years of remaining a customer.
I have made that suggestion literally everytime I have called in for something related to my account.
The reps have no power to make that happen or to pass on feedback from customers to someone who can do something.
Sadly, today after being a loyal customer who pays on time and renewed multiple times, I had to cancel because I can no longer afford their prices. The worst part is that Verizon is claiming that I am on a two year contract despite confirmation from more than one customer service rep in the past month that my contract expires on 4/12/2012. So now, not only can I not afford the service (which is truly the best quality service from a technical perspective, never a down day) but I now am being told that I will owe an early termination fee.
Loyal long term customers cannot get a break with Verizon. They are not interested in retaining you for the long haul. I have even had Verizon employees at their stores tell me that the best thing to do is to cancel your service then call in for the new customer offerings after 3-5 business days. Isn't that ridiculous??
Be forewarned please....before you elect to agree to a contract. Go month to month or find a service provider who does not require a contract. Also be forewarned that once you have FIOS service, you cannot downgrade back to DSL or a lower cost option. Once you have FIOS, you will always have to purchase FIOS if Verizon is your provider.
To AnnJ - yes thank you, and I understand that. It *is* confusing when you normally think of a gift card being only usable at certain retail stores instead of anywhere but that really wasn't my point. I'm the kind of person who is very detail oriented and who reads all the fine print before thinking that I'm getting something great. I'm still skeptical of Verizon's Visa gift card and what you described would concern me even more. One poster on the forums lost his card and it's basically like losing cash. Once it's gone, you don't have the same protection you would otherwise have from losing a credit card. Sure it may be easier than forgetting to follow through on a rebate and which has happened to me many times as well but I definitely don't think this would be better either. I feel the cons outweigh the pros on this "money card". Is the Visa gift card printed with your name on it like a credit card? If it isn't and you lose it, anyone could just pick it up and spend it and you would have no ground to stand on for trying to reclaim it. Without any identification, that could be a security risk. Most gift cards I have seen have no identification feature on them. And when you use it, do you swipe it like a credit card and do you have to sign for the purchase so a record is created? If there is no record of your purchase with your signature, that's really not secure. And I understand from what I have read so far that there is no monthly statement. Seriously, if you're not afforded those protective features like you would have on a credit card, that could make you even more vulnerable to possible theft. If it were me, I would have a lot of questions before accepting it and attempting to use it. With all that goes on now-a-days with identity theft, I would be hesitant. It wouldn't hard for a cashier to steal money from your balance on that particular card and without any monthly statement or on line statement to check it against, it would be harder to keep track of your remaining balance. Theft among retail cashiers is more common than most people realize. I don't trust it. The whole thing doesn't sound right to me. To me, that card sounds like a lot of money to carry around at once and I don't know...it sounds just as risky as carrying around the same amount of cash in dollar bills.
That's the very reason why this should not be the only reward available to customers. Even something more secure like the same amount of money already put on a Bank of America debit card with periodic statements and an account would make more sense. Even travelers' checks would be a lot more secure than that. Sure not many people use travelers' checks anymore but think about it...they're are a lot safer to carry around, you can keep a record of them and call American Express if you lose them and plus, you can cash them out at your bank a little bit at a time so you're not carrying around as much cash at one time. And better yet, give me some other choices wouldn't require me to receive so much money. A free "pre-paid" magazine subscription or a supermarket coupon would be safer for me.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy Verizon very much and I am very satisfied with what I have, particularly compared to the cable options I have seen. It just doesn't seem like all of the practicals have really been thoroughly considered for this type of reward. I would take some time to think this through before accepting and using a card like that and hence, my reason why I don't think it should be the only reward for everyone.
So please Verizon, don't send me any cash like that. I will not accept it and if it's sent to me, I will return it to the sender without any hesitation. It's too risky and to me, that's just as bad as sending dollar bills in the mail.
...so take the card to the bank and deposit the funds into your account. Then you don't have to carry it around.
I just can't see how anyone would think that a CD worth $20 is better than getting $150. You could lose a CD just as easily as the card. (More easily for some, since I know I don't keep CDs in a wallet in my purse that I never let out of my sight.)
Why would you complain about not being rewarded, and then in the same breath complain about wanting a lesser reward?

Lose a CD if you receive that in the mail? Not likely at all in my case because I don't carry CDs around outside the house. Take the card to my bank and deposit it? No. I'm not comfortable with that. That's still carrying around a large sum of cash in my wallet even for a little while and like I said, I don't think that's secure. You can't assume that everyone is going to think about this the same way that you would.
Complain about not being rewarded and then wanting something lesser? I'm not complaining. I like Verizon and I was simply offering a suggestion. Perhaps you view a CD as something lesser but I don't. I treasure my CD collection with all of my favorite music and CDs last forever. To me, that's much longer lasting than any amount of cash that could be sent to me which can be spent and gone in a short period of time. There needs to be a reward for years of service and I think Verizon should let the customer choose what is most practical for his or her needs. That's not a hard concept. This $300 gift card is not practical for me, in my view and therefore, is not for everyone. Even if the same amount of money were given on a pre-paid debit card that can only be accessed with a pin number that has an account and a monthly statement, that I feel would be a lot safer. And yes, even travelers checks in the same amount would be safer so it would be easier for some us to cash a little bit at a time. But not everybody would want that either and that would be the whole point of letting the customer choose. You would have your gift card, I would have my free CD or coupons or whatever, and everyone would be happy. I would much rather have my discount or free item already given in advance so I wouldn't have to get that at the expense of having a large sum of cash sent to me. That's my preference which shouldn't bother anyone who feels differently. We all have to learn to live and let live. The kind of reward each person wants is each person's own business.
We're going to have to agree to disagree, sorry and I've said more than enough. You have your view and I have mine so it's time to let this go already. Everyone is different. Everyone's needs and preferences and circumstances are different so no one can assume that everyone would treat this the same way. Imagine how boring life would be if everybody were to think the same way about everything. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing.
To lizasmom2000 --- I can understand the frustration of what you're describing and even though I like Verizon Fios as a product, that's the one thing that was overlooked before we were forced to go digital. What if certain people can't afford cable or Fios? Then what? I think the whole industry is lacking in affordable options for a lot of people.
I'm curious. If you were to cancel everything, would that mean unsintalling all of your service and then reinstalling all the wiring after that? How long of a delay would that be and how long would you be without service? And yes, that would seem silly to expect any customer to do, cancel everything, uninstall everything(?), and then sign up all over again for the same thing at a lower price. I understand why Verizon and other cable companies can't allow their customers to start over at the new customer rates without interruption of service but there should be some kind of reward or discount that the loyal customer can choose from. And isn't it better to offer more affordable options? It doesn't seem like any of these providers care. To me, that seems pretty symptomatic of a corporation that has gotten so large. Al lot of these corporations have yet to convince me that they care about the long run and keeping faithful customers.
I guess sometimes we do what we have to. I don't know if an HD rooftop antenna would be an option for you.
I happen to know that Cablevision has a department for saving customers from canceling their service, which I guess means offering an alternative service or perhaps allowing the customer to cancel one and keep the other two components of the triple play. It doesn't seem like Verizon has that. It just seems like customer service has taken a nosedive among most of these corporations and I think it's unfortunate the way customer service is viewed by these corporations as an expense. I don't think that's right. I wonder at times if any of these corporate giants are going to survive forever with that kind of mentality. It's a shame the way our country has been reduced to this. Corporate giants have taken over everything, making it harder for smaller businesses to compete, and leaving fewer choices available for customers.
Dear Verizon,
Since the day your FIOS product became available I have been a loyal subscriber, not to mention wireless phone service also. Yesterday I contacted your company because I received an offer from Optimum for a bundle for $79 per month for 2 years with a Free DVR for a year. I was shocked and completely flabbergasted that the best counter-offer I received was a new bill that would only be $3 cheaper per month. I wasn't even expecting a match, but at least a comparable offer to show that your company cares about my loyalty and business. I am left to gather that you would rather lose my business altogether than make an acceptable counter-offer. This has been bothering me to no end for the last 24 hours and moves me into the direction of your competition.
My hope is that someone reads this from point of view of a customer that left Optimum after 10 years because I value your product. However, I am left to understand your loyalty and value to me as a customer is not reciprocated!

How do I post my photos in forums and blogs?
Updated: 09/30/2014
Photos and videos in your SmugMug galleries can be embedded in Web pages outside of SmugMug. For example, you can show off your lunch in a forum post like this:
First, check your settings
Click the Share button. Then Click Get a Link
Next, choose a size.
Many forums support BBCode, and you can copy the code in that format, as shown.
Select the Embeddable Links tab:You'll see a list of sizes for your photo? or video?. Click the Copy button next to the embed code of the size you want and it will be automatically copied for you.
Finally, paste your code into the forum
You can just paste that embed code right in the box of your forum post.
(Pasting is done by holding down the Ctrl key, then hitting the v key, or Command-v on the Mac).
If it doesn't seem to work after saving your post, try grabbing just the link and let the forum generate the code for you.
If that still doesn't seem to work after saving your post, try grabbing just the photo link from the "Photo Links" tab. Look for an IMG or graphical button on the forum when you compose a post. Click that button to display a pop-up window where you can paste your photo's URL.
In some forums, such as dpreview, no pop-up box is provided and you simply paste your photo's URL into the body of your message along with your spectacular prose.
Wait! What about blogs and other websites?
Easy. Most sites use HTML and we've provided a way you to post images in this format, too.
Open the Embeddable Links tab and grab the code the same way as described above. Just be sure to take it from the Blogs area instead.

Pattern review: Josephine Dress by Violet Field Threads
Do you ever make a project, and stop and look at it half-way through, and begin to wonder if it's really going to turn out as well as you hope it will? That, dear readers, was what happened during the making of this, the Josephine dress. As the sewing on this progressed, I kept the dress on a coat hanger in my room, and every time I glanced upon it I began to be assailed by the fear that Tyger wouldn't end up with a cute dress, but something oddly resembling a 1950's housecoat, which needless to say, wasn't quite the look I was going for!
It just seemed so large. And frumpy. And housecoatey. Thankfully, with the help of some grosgrain ribbon working as a belt, it turned out AWESOME!
Admittedly, it is a little on the big side, but the ribbon helps cinch it in. And it looks pretty darn cute on Tyger, who got loads of compliments on it when she wore it on the weekend. Phew! Sewing failure averted!
Now down to the pattern nitty gritty. As you can probably tell, the pattern runs a little on the large size. That's fine for us, as it means Tyger can wear it again next winter, but if you were making it for a special occasion and wanted the perfect fit right here, right now, then you might want to go down a size and add length as required.
It was a fairly easy pattern to put together, but one thing that slightly bugged me was the fact that the pintucks were not marked on the pattern. Instead, after attaching the ruffled button band, you had to measure and manually work out the pintuck placement for yourself. I'd prefer it to be marked on the pattern itself, as is usually the case.
The other quibble I have is that a pattern piece for the button band ruffles is not included, so unless you carefully read through the entire pattern before cutting out, you might not realise that you needed to measure and then cut out the two pieces yourself. Considering that the pieces required for the larger dress size come in at 43 inches, you'd hate to not have enough fabric, or have gotten rid of your fabric scraps like I almost did.
So my verdict is: cute pattern, but read through the entire instructions carefully before embarking!
Project Details
Pattern: Josephine Dress by Violet Field Threads, size 9-10
Fabric: 1.5m of Raindrops Poppies Platinum from the Field Study collection by Anna Maria Horner
Notions: 15 buttons, 1.5m black grosgrain ribbon, matching grey bias binding

DEC, 2011 Impact investing, or investment that aims to make significant social and/or environmental impact while also being profitable, has been gaining ground steadily since the concept emerged toward the end of last decade. A recent report by J.P.

Deputies arrested three teenagers from breaking into a garage and stealing a $2,500 dirt bike Saturday.
Investigators say Wesley Scott McElroy, 16, Richard Thomas Sayer, 14, and Austin James Vowell, 15, are charged with burglary and grand theft of a motor vehicle.
Deputies were called about the theft in the 17300 block of Iago Avenue in Port Charlotte just before 9 a.m. The caller said someone had taken the Yamaha dirt bike from a detached garage on the property.
About four hours later, deputies go an anonymous tip telling them to look for the dirt bike at 383 Kindred Boulevard - and that the thief might live next door.
Deputies went to the address, which was a vacant home, and say they found a rear sliding glass door open and the dirt bike inside.
When investigators looked into the address reported by the caller, they found McElroy lives there, and he was on probation for previous crimes.
The boy's mother told detectives Sayer and Vowell had spent the night with her son.
Deputies were able to contact all three, and determined they had stolen the motorcycle and hidden it in the vacant home.
They were taken to jail and then released to their parents. It was the third booking for McElroy, second for Sayer and first for Vowell.

Funeral plans are being made for a 2-year-old girl who drowned in the pool in Florence earlier this week. The toddler's young mother is also speaking out.
Stacie Rubianes talked to us at a car wash she was holding Thursday.
Little Lilliana Serrana drowned at the Magma Ranch Community Pool in Florence even though her mom and a group of friends were nearby when the toddler slipped under.
Others at the pool pulled Lillian out and started CPR, but it was too late. She was flown to the hospital where she later died.
Now, the mother who is pregnant and obviously distraught spoke through tears about her daughter's death.
"I'm hanging in there. I miss my little girl. I just hate the fact that people talk negative about me... that it's my fault and everything. She was a happy baby. I loved her so much. I want her to come home but she's not. I just have to have faith in her that now she's in good hands with God."
"I love her so much... and just please. Be here for me. Don't talk negative about me. Don't switch different stories about what happened. I do love my daughter. I don't do drugs, I don't drink. I'm a good mom. And I'm having another baby and I just wish she was here to see her little brother born. Mommy loves you Lilli."
Stacie says she wants to give her daughter a proper burial which is why she's holding a car wash to raise money.

Scanner FTW: Danny DeVito goes undercover
OK, not really, but somebody sure seems to think he is. This is the dispatcher:
"We have somebody who wants to speak to an undercover officer. He says his name is Danny DeVito. I think we can classify this one as Code 6."
Just FYI, Code 6 means "off his rocker" in scanner code. So a pretty accurate description even if this person is Danny DeVito. But you can't just go disturbing undercover cops everywhere, so they went with a different approach.
Dispatcher: "He's getting help for his Code 6-ivness. We're all good here."
Yes, yes we are.
