Perfect White Rice
This recipe can be used to make basmati rice and brown rice, too. To cook brown rice, increase the amount of water to 2 1/4 cups and the cooking time to 30 to 40 minutes; check rice after 30 minutes.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 cup unconverted white rice
Step 1
Bring 1 3/4 cups water and salt to a rapid boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir rice into boiling water. Return mixture to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer.
Step 2
Cover; cook without lifting lid to prevent steam from escaping until rice is done (15 to 20 minutes; check toward end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with steam holes when done.
Step 3
Let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork.

For brown rice, 2 1/4 cups of water is too much. 2 cups is plenty. I tried making it with 2 1/4 cups and after 40 minutes, there was still water in the pot. I cooked it an additional 10 minutes but it still turned out mushy and water logged.Reply

Will Microsoft slapping 7 on the rebranded Windows Mobile (now Windows Phone) OS be enough to counter Googles Linux for mobile phones? Its easy to expand the Microsoft vs. Google antithesis to Windows Phone and Android proprietary vs. open source, paid vs. free, Windows vs. Linux, etc. Most would undoubtedly agree that Windows Phone and Android being placed at opposite poles of the mobile-phone world is more than just a matter of perception.

TEAMS: Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints
Former NFL linebacker Scott Fujita announced his retirement on Monday in a very unique manner. He did it while sitting on top of a mountain. The 33-year-old spent four seasons of his career with the New Orleans Saints and won a Super Bowl with them in 2010. Despite the fact that he played for four teams throughout his 12-year career, Fujita felt the strongest connection with the Saints. Having most recently played with the Cleveland Browns, Fujita decided to sign a one-day contract with New Orleans on Monday to retire with the Saints. He did so at the top of a peak in Machu Picchu. "What better place to reach the end of the road than here at 10,000 feet above sea level, in the Peruvian Andes overlooking Machu Picchu with my dear friend Steve Gleason?" Fujita said, via Eye on Football. "I've been fortunate to play in this league for a long time and for some great organizations, but there is no doubt that my times spent in New Orleans were some of the best years of my life. The way th...

I am going to say a dirty word. Lobbyist.
I am not sure if lobbyist ranks above or below politician, but both words evoke mistrust and derision.
Even more shocking, I like most lobbyists, and I respect what they do.
When did you last read the U.S. Constitution? I would suggest reading the First Amendment. It says, in part: "Congress shall make no law — abridging — the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The drafters realized the importance of protecting lobbying precisely because the colonies were denied that right by the English crown.
If lobbying is a constitutionally protected right, why do so many view it in such negative terms? There is no doubt that some lobbyists have engaged in unethical practices. There are ample examples of abuse.
We think of lobbyists as "hired guns" representing"special interests." This may come as a surprise, but all interests are "special." If lobbyists pursue something for me or my group, it is good. If they pursue benefits for others, those are the special interests.
Most Americans believe that only large corporations or wealthy individuals use lobbyists. Nothing could be more untrue.
When I taught courses about lobbying, I asked students how many organizations they belonged to. Most students guessed three to five. I then asked students to open their wallets or purses and make a list of all the organizations they were associated with.
Many were members of a religious group, all were part of the university, most belonged to several social and civic organizations, unions or professional associations. Many were members of political interest groups ranging from a political party, environmental group, prolife or prochoice groups and many others. By the time they were finished, most students belonged to 12 to 20 groups. Almost all of them were represented by lobbyists.
Why do we join groups? Self-interest. Sometimes we expect economic rewards, such as higher wages (unions, professional associations), discounts (AAA, AARP) and sometimes for the benefit of group insurance on cars, homes and our lives.
Others join groups to achieve a specific goal. Some of us want to restrict guns; others want to make sure government imposes no restrictions on guns. Many join environmental groups to protect wildlife, water, the quality of the air or because they are concerned about climate change.
During the 1960s and 1970s, many joined groups to protest the Vietnam War. Today many join groups to make sure veterans get the health care, educational and jobs benefits we believe they deserve. Where would the civil rights movement have been without groups such as Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference or the NAACP? All of these groups used lobbyists.
Finally, some join groups for social benefits. Fraternal groups like the Moose, Elks and Eagles are examples. Others join the yacht club or country club to associate with like-minded individuals and make professional contacts.
Political candidates often portray their opponent as a"tool of the special interests." This has become a primary issue in the congressional District 13 race where Democrat Alex Sink has labeled her opponent, David Jolly, a lobbyist for special interests.
Jolly, a D.C. lobbyist for the past half-dozen years, terminated his lobbying contracts on Nov. 1, 2013. This has not stopped the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee from airing ads stating,"David Jolly's proud to be a lobbyist." The Jolly campaign responded by getting Mark Lunsford, whose daughter Jessica was raped and murdered in 2005, to praise Jolly's lobbying in getting funding for the U.S. Marshal's Service to track sexual offenders.
In the 1950s, an ambitious U.S. senator eloquently defended lobbyists on the floor of the Senate. He called lobbyists"expert technicians and capable of explaining complex and difficult subjects in a clear, understandable fashion."
The senator described how lobbyists prepared briefs, legislative analysis and even draft legislation. Lobbyists are"masters of their subject and, in fact, they frequently can provide useful statistics and information not otherwise available."
Finally, the senator argued that since congressional representation is based on geographical boundaries,"the lobbyists who speak for the various economic, commercial and other functional interests of the country serve a very useful purpose and have assumed an important role in the legislative process."
This senator clearly thought lobbyists provided a vital service to our political system. This senator, John F. Kennedy, would soon be elected president and continued to praise lobbyists during his administration.
Darryl Paulson is professor emeritus of government at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. He lives in Palm Harbor.

Some times ops/sec down to zero
Hi, evrebody
I have a problem. Every 1-15min i have this problem in my cluster. Wher oop doww to zero, my application can't work, membase server cant do set, get operation in this time. app stop. I used moxi to connect membase from my PHP Memcached
What a problem?
And another question, i have a cluster with 7 servers, it works fine, but one moment it ops\sec down, and he cant do any set get operations well at all. When i add new server, it became work fine. Haw can i understand that i need do add one more server, if all parametrs a normal.
This message is actually posted in the wrong forum.
The number of requests dropping to zero could be anything from a scheduling problem on the clients, to a resource starvation issue on a virtualized server to a networking problem between the clients and servers. A couple of questions:
Do you have dropped packets from the OS level retransmit statistics?
Can you give us some info on what the underlying systems are? Are the VMs such that the resources are shared with other systems?
Please post to the Membase Server or Couchbase Server forums. This forum is for Couchbase Single Server, which is a subset.
I moved the post to the correct forum...
We'll still need lots more information.
From looking at the limited stats you posted, it seems that the client is pausing or getting backed up on a few requests, and then they flood in. Can you check the disk reads during this time to see if you are simply waiting for a request to come off of disk? If not, then this is definitely related to something in your application.

Top Real Life Proven Forex Trading Strategies of Professional Forex Traders Part 2
www.forextradingseminar.com In part 2 of this series I will demonstrate another of the top, most important, most effective Forex trading strategies that traders who earn their sole income from trading now consider to be absolutely essential to success in Forex trading. This video is about an advanced Forex trading strategy which I call "seeking clarity". Why do some traders sort through pairs and select a small group of pairs to focus on and why does that small group of 1 to 5 currency pairs always shift and change from time to time? What is the actual process for selecting those pairs and what are they looking for? Why are these traders eliminating some pairs and choosing others and why do they keep getting such incredible results over and over? If you are looking for a Forex trading signal and one pair that you normally trade seems to have nothing but chaos, why is it that some traders are able to locate excellent trading opportunities for entry and exit on other pairs? Not all professional Forex traders are aware of these trading strategies but some of those who are aware keep hauling in PIPS on a regular basis. The Forex trading strategy that some consider to be the most essential for getting results is this one revealed in this video. http

Grats Keelhaul. :)
It's been fun watching all this unfold since 4.3, and your Mogging tier lists have been incredibly useful even on my backwater low-pop Horde server. Made up to 17k so far!

One thing I've done with my spoils, just for fun, was hold a "Fashion Show" on Friday with some cash prizes: Gave out 1,000g to three players for having the best transmog outfits. Hoping to make this a weekly event if sales remain steady.
It isn't *remotely* on the same scale as what Keelhaul has done/is doing, but I'm hoping it'll get more people thinking about their outfits instead of using the standard T13/S11 stuff I've been seeing.

The following is a clip from the Dylan Ratigan show
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Posted on 23 January 2012 by Sara Haimowitz.
The following is a clip from the Dylan Ratigan show
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Generally I agree with Dylan and he has been very critical of the US relationship with the Communist State Capitalists. However, the current US policy with Red China needs to be completely flushed and a new policy, with the US regaining our position as the leaders of the free world, needs to be reinstituted.
We should return to very limited and regulated commerce/contact with the Corporate Communists until these types of horrific issues are resolved and not treated as business models by many "American" Corporatists, such as GE's Immelt and many US politicians.
Below is an example of CCP Communal factory work. After 60 years in power, they really know how to exploit slave labor for maximum profit.
Connecting the dots on Communism
Most people do not realize that Communism is Corporatism run amuck, the above John Stewart video explains that in a short and somewhat humorous manner.
US unilateral "free trade" is pathetic enough on it's own merits, throw free trade with Protectionist Red China into the recipe and the entire concept is revealed as the largely foreign and Multi-National Corporation financed hoax it is.
Unarmed, unresisting civilians trying to escape Red China, gunned down USSR style, in September, 2011. As Stewart says above "We have contracts with these people?".

Topic - Gogarth in the shade
Jon Stewart - on 22 Jul 2013
Apologies if this query irritates you, as you think I should be able to divine this information from the guidebook, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Which walls at Gogarth and Rhoscolyn get a bit of shade in the morning/afternoon?
I know that you basically cook on Main Cliff, and that Upper Tier is in the shade in the morning (I think?). Anyone know about North Stack Wall? Since Easter Island Gully is just Main Cliff, I know about the main bit, but do Supercrack and Wonderwall stay in the shade a bit, and if so, when?
What about Fallen Block Zawn at Rhoscolyn, having never been down there, I'm not sure if it faces the same way as the other bit?
In general, any advice for seeking shade at Gogarth (thinking particularly about classic E1-3 routes)?
Thanks. I'll study Google Earth too and see what I can work out for myself.

I also do this with cauliflower or combination of both. Zucchini and cooked rice are good too. Save calories without the crackers. I put a little cheese on top.
Broccoli Casserole
karyne Posted: 02/20/11
MKHaynes Posted: 11/24/10
This is one of my husband's favorite to make - except he uses cheddar cheese soup instead of cream of mushroom, and no mayo. It is a great go-to for big dinners.
SwtVgs Posted: 11/16/09
I made this recipe for Thanksgiving the same year it issued in All You. I have made it every year on Thanksgiving since and my whole family loves it!! Very fast and simple and tastes delicious =) No room for leftovers with this one!
SoCalledJay Posted: 01/27/10
I liked this recipe but i think it asks for to much mayo and butter and you can really taste it. The only changes i would make next time is to cut back by a 1/4 of those two ingredients.
charlotta Posted: 02/13/10
Very good and comforting to eat. Its easy to do. I used Peppridge Farm Stuffing Mix on top instead of Ritz.
hkw0003 Posted: 12/22/10
DELICIOUS! Even the people that don't like broccoli enjoyed this. Definitely no leftovers. Also good with the frenchs fried onions.
alesaurusrex Posted: 06/13/10
...This was just.. weird. The consistency of the sauce after baking was kind of strange. It almost looked like something was curdling? Perhaps I baked it too long. It tastes ok, but is really nothing special. I would never serve this to anyone, but I suppose its okay to feed myself with when I'm running low on cash.
mathchef Posted: 11/24/10
Great recipe with a few alterations. I halved the butter and mayonnaise and exchanged the crushed crackers for a can of fried onion rings. I liked that the sauce was not overwhelming. It is easy to make. Will definitely make again.
karofl1 Posted: 09/28/11
This recipe has great flavor, likely due to all of the fat. There is way too much sauce for just one pound of broccoli. Instead of reducing the proportion of ingredients, I added vegetables that I had on hand: carrots, mushrooms, and trio (a blend of onion and peppers). I also used only one-half sleeve of Ritz, that was sufficient to make a nice topping. I would make this again, especially for non-broccoli eaters, but would want to adjust some of the fat.
AmyMCGS Posted: 12/18/11
I found this on Pinterest, came here for the recipe, and took it to a Christmas potluck. I made a few changes to adapt to what I had on hand: light mayo, cream of chicken soup, 2 bags frozen chopped broccoli (steamed in microwave), less butter, and only half a sleeve of Ritz. Very good!
KathiFerger Posted: 11/24/11
Terrific dish for Thanksgiving. I substituted cream of broccoli soup for the mushroom soup and it was delish!! No leftovers here!
jerodswife07 Posted: 12/26/13
Definitely my new go-to recipe for broccoli casserole--made it twice over the holidays & it was a huge hit & got rave reviews! It's super-creamy, has amazing flavor, & even reheats well without drying out! Only change I had to make was I had to use 2 lbs of broccoli b/c 1 lb only covered just over 1/2 of the 13x9 pan. However, I will also admit that I took a shortcut & used bagged frozen broccoli cuts, so you may not get quite as much pieces as you might get from fresh broccoli. Other than using 2 bags of broccoli, I didn't & wouldn't change anything else!
emilbus001 Posted: 11/17/13
This rating says it all. it's a good solid recipe. Though, a little rich and fatty. Something about mayo being mixed in sounds really gross to me but the flavors worked. just a classic home style dish. yum!

John Smith's enter final furlong of Grand National title sponsorship.
Aintree Racecourse is in the process of seeking a new title sponsor for the Grand National from 2014 after ale brand John Smith's confirmed that they will not be renewing the sponsorship beyond next year.
The 2013 meeting will see the HEINEKEN-owned John Smith's brand backing the Grand National for the ninth consecutive year, after announcing a three-year sponsorship deal in 2004 and three-year extensions to the agreement in both 2006 and 2009.
During the term of the sponsorship, John Smith's developed a close working partnership with the Aintree management team which saw the brand leverage the sponsorship to deliver a number of ground-breaking initiatives, which included the innovative John Smith's People's Race, a charity race for members of the public on Grand National day, Grand National legends, Smithy the People's Racehorse and, more recently, the brand has worked closely with the Bob Champion Cancer Trust to stage a successful charity race on Grand National day featuring former Grand National jockeys.
HEINEKEN have already expressed a wish to explore other ways in which they can continue to be involved in the race weekend, outside headline sponsorship and talks between the two parties will continue over the coming months.
Speaking on behalf of John Smith's, brand manager Karen Crowley said: "The Grand National has been one of the jewels in our UK sponsorship crown and the decision to end the title sponsorship was difficult to make.
"Working closely with the Aintree team, we've developed a number of innovative concepts which have helped return the race to the hearts and minds of the British public. We end our long association in the knowledge we have created a successful and significant sponsorship model that will serve Aintree and its new sponsors well in the future.
"We've enjoyed nine exciting years as the title sponsor of jump racing's flagship event, during which time we have seen the John Smith's Grand National achieve record TV viewing figures and attendances.
"We've also enjoyed fantastic opportunities to deliver our 'No Nonsense' brand experience to Aintree racegoers and John Smith's drinkers across the UK. However, we felt that now was the right time to move on, reflecting changes in the ale market and the development of the John Smith's brand.
"We will continue to be involved in racing through events such as the John Smith's Cup at York and the Northumberland Plate, both televised on Channel 4, and hope that we can find ways to continue being involved in the Grand National meeting in some capacity after 2013."
John Baker, Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses North responsible for running Aintree, paid tribute to John Smith's for their part in the event's current popularity: "The team at Aintree and indeed the whole of racing are indebted for the fantastic support we've received from HEINEKEN and the John Smith's team.
"They have been instrumental in delivering exciting marketing initiatives and bringing the narrative of the Grand National to life. Throughout their time, through their invaluable contributions to the race meeting, we've seen prize money, attendances and viewing figures grow.
"We are in the process of finalising our sponsorship strategy to ensure the event remains one of the 'Crown Jewels' in the worldwide sporting calendar but our focus now is to ensure that in 2013 John Smith's are given a fitting farewell to the sponsorship of the Grand National."
The 2013 John Smith's Grand National meeting takes place at Aintree Racecourse on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 4, 5 & 6.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is good. But there are a lack of discipline and clean environment. Though the teachers are very helpful. Their willing to stay after school or arrive early just to help a student. Even though this school has been called: "Ghetto" its not. Don't judge a book by its cover.
When you think of diverse, you probably think there are cliques beyond belief. But at Heights, there are no cliques. Everyone is blended into one big group. Everyone is soo nice and I have had nothing but good experiences.
CHS is very good school to put your kid in.I had a very good experience. Transferring my kid to this school was a good move. The teachers are great, they offer great programs, and have excellent parent-teacher communication.
This school is amazing. I loved the atmosphere when I went there. I am a proud 2008 graduate from Columbia Heights, and I can honestly say, it was the most amazing experience I had ever had. I love Heights. The main people saying its a bad school, are most likely the ones standing outside the walls of Heights, inside, its a different world. There are so many cultures and so many opprotunities for students, they just have to be willing to go for it.
Columbia Heights is a large enough district to offer a diverse and rigorous curriculum yet small enough so that students do not get lost in the system and receive indivudual attention. It offers a lot of benefits that you do not find in other distructs.
Despite the stereotype that this school is 'ghetto', it's a great school. We have a diverse community and great staff who are willing to help you anytime. There are of course students who misbehave, but people get the image of the whole school being like that when in truth it's only a handful of the student body acting immaturely. All in all, Columbia Heights Senior High School is a great school. Diverse, intelligent and a great community.

From the top to the bottom, here is a list of the ports that moved up in 2013, and those that are in danger of falling down — or even off — the list of the Top 50 World Container Ports.
02 Sep 2014
Although delays are starting to ease at the Port of Rotterdam, schedule reliability to the Dutch port plummeted this summer.
02 Sep 2014
After weeks of declining prices for both high and low sulfur bunker fuel, prices rebounded last week.
18 Aug 2014
Cargo is surging at northern European ports, but it's not without consequences.
18 Aug 2014
Nine straight weeks of steady declines in pricing of low-sulfur bunker fuel have brought the price per metric ton down to the lowest levels in more than three years.
08 Aug 2014
Hapag Lloyd today announced it will divert three more Asia-Europe port calls to Antwerp, fueling concern that berthing delays at Europe's biggest container hub will persist into the fall.
07 Aug 2014
The port of Zeebrugge boosted container volume by 9.9 percent in the first half of the year, easily outpacing growth at larger rivals in the Le Havre-Hamburg range.
07 Aug 2014
The port of Rotterdam today announced a series of measures to eliminate congestion at two large container terminals and free up quay and labor capacity for oceangoing vessels.
06 Aug 2014
The U.S. ocean container trade via European ports, including transshipments, increased 3.8 percent year-over-year to 4.6 million laden 20-foot-equivalent units in the 12 months ending March 2014, according to PIERS, the data division of JOC Group.
Weekly wrap-up for Aug. 2, 2014: Vancouver penalties cutting truck turn times; congestion worsens at North European ports
02 Aug 2014
Port Metro Vancouver's penalty system for terminals is cutting truck turn times and drawing attention from other North American ports struggling with drayage challenges. And congestion seen earlier this year at Rotterdam has continued, prompting diversions and surcharges, and the congestion is spreading to other ports in the North Europe range.
01 Aug 2014
Hapag-Lloyd announced it is temporarily diverting vessels deployed on one of its Europe-Asia services from Rotterdam to Antwerp as congestion worsens at Europe's biggest container port as the peak shipping season gathers speed.

Most of us view marmalade as a favourite preserve for the morning, where toast and butter make a perfect delivery device for the bittersweet tang of orange marmalade. But to make the most of National Marmalade Week there are more ways to make use of marmalade than beyond the breakfast table.
For instance, have you tried it as a salad dressing? I'm into raw food at the moment…I know….but it really IS delicious…and very good for you! Raw curly kale salad dressed in lemon and olive oil and adorned with blood oranges, red chillies, toasted sunflower & pumpkin seeds & luscious tongue tingling pomegranate seeds. I recently zinged up the orange factor with a blob of Seville marmalade, from local food hero Maya Pieris whose award winning Four Season Preserves provided a certain 'je ne sais quoi' when added to the dressing – definitely my new favourite way to eat a curly kale salad.
Stir fries often make use of orange, so why not orange marmalade instead? Add a dollop to a stir-fry along with the soy sauce. Orange marmalade can be also be used to make into a terrific marinade for tofu, which after all needs all the help it can get! Try using orange marmalade as a glaze for meat, chicken and fish, for example, Marmalade Glazed Salmon from Ready Steady Cook's Tony Tobin.
Marmalicious Baking
Being a sweet preserve, marmalade is brilliant in baked goods. Its tartness works particularly well when balanced by rich cream or delicious egg custard. The Hive's very own micro bakery supplied a delicious marmalade cake this week which sold out almost as soon as we popped it into the cake counter display!
The perfect way to eat marmalade discovered by scientists!
If you just can't decide what to do with marmalade this week, then take a cue from researchers at University of Chester who claim to have discovered the perfect way to eat it! It seems millions of us are making the same fundamental mistake of using warm toast. Instead, the bread should be cooled for ten minutes to enjoy the maximum marmalade experience, researchers say. This causes a satisfying contrast between the crunch of the cold toast and the velvety marmalade, they say…
…I say…can we really wait THAT long!
The bread should also be white, 9mm thick and toasted for exactly a minute at 220C (428F). Only lightly salted butter must be used – 7.1g to be exact – on to which 11.2g of fine-cut marmalade, with peel of between 1.5mm and 4mm thick, should be used. So bad luck if you favour 'thick cut' and wholemeal then! According to the boffins, endorphins are released in the brain when marmalade is eaten on cold toast.
Either way; brown, white, granary, spelt, gluten free, rye or sour dough…just enjoy and savour the flavour of this sweet treat and crunch your way into marmalade heaven!
Did you know that Marmalade is thought to have first come to Britain in ships from Portugal in 1495? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "marmalade" appeared in English language in 1480, borrowed from French marmelade which, in turn, came from the Portuguese marmelada.
How do you like to enjoy your marmalade? Got any favourite recipes that use marmalade? Do you think it should just be reserved for the breakfast table? Please share your ideas. Tweet us @HiveBeachCafe or email email@example.com

(Editor's Note: CMT Greatest Patriotic Songs airs Saturday (July 2) at 10 p.m. ET/PT.)
"I hold it up and show my buddies, Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy, but no one laughs, 'Cause there ain't nothing funny when a soldier cries ... An' it keeps me driving on, Waiting on letters from home."
These powerful lyrics from John Michael Montgomery's "Letters From Home" marched their way into the hearts of millions of Americans during Operation Iraqi Freedom. "These letters or e-mails, they're like gold to these folks," he says.
Montgomery is one of many country artists to come forward with patriotic songs during periods of turmoil and despair. Over time, these songs have eased the pain during times of war and turmoil in America, helping mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and even simply those in support of American troops better understand and express their love for the U.S.
Following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, one country artist came forward with a song depicting not only what had happened to America in the recent year but delivered a message he felt America must always remember. Darryl Worley's "Have You Forgotten" served as a message of remembering the lives lost, the tears wept and the sense of pride felt when a country of different races and ethnicities stand as one.
"I'm thinking about ... all the people that died trying to save people that were dying, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to write something in honor of those people," Worley says. "And that's how 'Have You Forgotten?' came along."
Chely Wright says Worley's love for America is revealed through his songwriting. "I know Darryl's compassion for our troops and patriotism is true. He's the kid that grew up on the Tennessee River, and he loves his country and he loves his family and biscuits on Sunday afternoon. He's about as country as they come."
Wright, who released the patriotic "The Bumper of My S.U.V." in 2004, says these types of songs hit close to home. "It's a family tradition for the men in my family to be in the military. All of my uncles were in on both sides, my mom and my dad's side," she says. Wright's brother was a Marine for 15 years, and her grandfather served as a sailor in the Vietnam War.
While fighting in World War II, Ray Price was the only man within his 70-man regiment to walk away alive. He says one of the songs that stands out to him is "There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere," recorded by Elton Britt in 1942. Price says, "It's a pretty song, and it was talking about patriotism and wanting to go fight. Everybody's mood at that time was, 'Let's go fight,' and they did."
Moreover, Aaron Tippin showed his patriotic perspective with "Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Fly." He says the song is simply about patriotism and the honor one has for his freedom and country. "And that's cool to me when I get the chance to know that I've given [soldiers] something to hold on to. That's a pretty neat feeling. That's a bit of bragging, but yeah, that's a pretty neat feeling," he says.
Trace Adkins' "Arlington," written from the perspective of a fallen soldier, reveals the deep respect and honor for those who have lost their lives in battle. The chorus proudly proclaims, "I can rest in peace/I'm one of the chosen ones/I made it to Arlington." Adkins feels the song pays tribute to those who fought until they died for their country. "The song is not for me. It's not for my career. It's not for any of those selfish, superficial reasons. It's my way of saying thanks and paying tribute to people who did something that I didn't do," Adkins says.
One cannot mention patriotic songs in country music without thinking of Lee Greenwood's ever-popular, "God Bless the U.S.A." He says when he hears of soldiers using his song for inspiration, it's a moving experience. "I've had so many soldiers tell me just before they were engaged in conflict they would have my song, 'God Bless the U.S.A.,' which reminds them of home."
When he sings the opening line -- "If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life" -- Greenwood says it's an overwhelming experience. "'God Bless the U.S.A.' said many things as a song," he believes, "but most of all it said, 'We're proud that we're American.'"

Decorating with Peeps
Peeps can be polarizing – they have their ardent fans and their staunch detractors.
Some people stake out their local drugstore waiting for that first Peep delivery every spring while others blanch at the sticky, sugary, neon concoctions. But perhaps decorating with peeps instead of eating them can be a happy medium.
There is something undeniably cheerful about Peeps and we like to eat one (and only one) a year. But we like all three of these ideas for using peeps to decorate:
• 1 Felt Peep bunting that you can reuse year after year by Dana Made It at V & Co.
• 2 Peep wreath – what a fun way to greet spring guests to your home. Or lie flat on a table as a centerpiece. At Tried and True via Readymade.
• 3 Marshmallow Peep garland – quick and easy by Thrift Shop Romantic.
Do you have any other ideas for decorating with Peeps?
4 Comments
I love this! :D
I love slightly stale Peeps.
And Peep decorations.
I love eating peeps!
But decorating with them! So cute! I'm going to for Easter this year!
Awesome.. now there's sugar all over your floor beneath wherever you hung this. Hope you like ants! The felt one is a cute idea though.

Tired of the snow and cold yet? How about having some snowy fun without having to put on your boots and mittens? Create a virtual snowflake at Snowdays! You can add your snowflake to the storm with a personal message, or e-mail it to your friends.Fun for kids of all ages, and probably a great way for younger kids to perfect their mousing skills!
Afterwards, why not share some snow stories with the young people in your life? I really love First Day of Winter by Denise Fleming (because I can sing it!) and Katy and the Big Snow (a favorite of my childhood; great for one-on-one sharing). What are your snowy favorites?

John Taylor's disingenuousness
John Taylor is a genuinely eminent economist who has a fundamentally sensible point to make — that a step-change in the US debt-to-GDP ratio from about 40% to about 80% is not a good thing and is something with systemic consequences.
I don't understand, then, why he has to lard his comment with stuff like this:
A 100 per cent increase in the price level means about 10 per cent inflation for 10 years…
100 per cent inflation would, of course, mean a 100 per cent depreciation of the dollar. Americans would have to pay $2.80 for a euro; the Japanese could buy a dollar for Y50; and gold would be $2,000 per ounce.
The first statement is simply false: a 100% increase in the price level means about 7% inflation for 10 years. One would expect that John Taylor, of all people, understands the concept of compound interest.
But the "of course" in the second statement is even weirder. The connection between inflation and depreciation is far from clear; it depends very much on the country's balance of trade, and even more on the amount of inflation which has gone on in other countries. Does Taylor really expect 0% inflation over the next decade in both the Euro zone and Japan? And does he really think that real gold prices have ever stayed remotely constant?
As Mark Thoma points out, though, the most disingenuous part of the entire column is something Taylor doesn't mention at all — that he was very recently calling for permanent tax cuts to stimulate the economy. It's pretty much impossible to square that with this:
While there is debate about whether a large deficit today provides economic stimulus, there is no economic theory or evidence that shows that deficits in five or 10 years will help to get us out of this recession. Such thinking is irresponsible.
Or maybe deficits caused by permanent tax cuts are somehow to be preferred to deficits caused by temporary stimulus spending?
Tax cuts have a much lower multiplier effect on the economy — which I would assume means less inflationary effect. So yes, if you're not really concerned about growth of the real economy and only concerned about investment returns for the ruling class, it's perfectly consistent.
Less money for 90%+ of the population, less pressure on wages, less inflation, better relative returns for bond holders, and better after-tax returns for investors.
That's what you get for big tax cuts vs. stimulative spending. And if you're a ruling class suck like so many economists, that's just fine by you.
that's just fine by you
By "you" of course, I don't mean *you*, Felix. I mean "one".
Anyone who is calling for tax cuts isn't an eminent economist, that would just make him/her a clueless Republican.
100% depreciation of the dollar would mean it is worthless, I think he means a 50% depreciation. But eminent economists are allowed to exagerate and make things up, like Taylor's predictions about inflation.
Also, Americans would be paying $2.80 for a euro with incomes twice as large as now. Ditto their ounce of gold.
I have a hard time believing anything this John Taylor says when he makes such elementary mistakes as not compounding interest (10 * 10% = 100%) and thinking a 100% depreciation of something means its price has halved. If he had made these mistakes in a live debate somewhere, that could be forgiven, but this is a column published in the freaking Financial Times of London. What the hell?
Short-run deficits can help to end recession. Doesn't it matter, how the government spend the borrowed money? For instance for financing investments in better infrastructure, sustainable environment and human capital etc. On the long-run "smart" investments of government the GDP (denominator) go up faster than the debt (numerator) in the ratio.
The GDP to Federal budget deficit ratio is unsustainable. This will get corrected.
Three routes
1. Massive inflation will make the real size of government shrink.(Taylor's argument)
2.Official will cut spending
3.The Government will go bankrupt
I see no other options do you?
PS The Soviets tried a government led command economy, it failed. And the Russians are smart people.
John Taylor knows perfectly well about compounding; I would guess he thinks that many FT readers don't, and doesn't want to explain it. ("About" is presumably his sop to correctness.) In any case, he's talking qualitative more than quantitative here, so that it doesn't matter.
My guess is he underestimates the FT readership, but that this would have been a good communication strategy if he were writing for USA Today.
What about his whopper concerning the Debt/GDP ratio? He claims that:
"The debt was 41 per cent of GDP at the end of 1988, President Ronald Reagan's last year in office, the same as at the end of 2008, President George W. Bush's last year in office."
But this is not true. In 1988 when Reagan left office it was about 51%, up from 32% when he took office. In 2008 it was about 70%, up from 57% when he took office. That seems like a real whopper to me. You can check it out in the Economic Report of the President, page 378 (Bush's last report).
Of course, what Taylor is referring to is Gross Federal Debt held by the public. So he is ignoring all the debt held by the social security system. I think that is what you need to do to make Bush look like a fiscal hawk.
The fact that Mr. Taylor made an error in his calculation does not change the fact that his main argument is correct. It appears that Mr Salmon lost perspective of Taylor's main point purposely to attack him, instead of debating his message. He goes further and brings another of Taylor's idea that is not included in this specific article to strengthen his attack. The question is, does Mr. Salmon has something personal against Mr. Taylor or lacks rational arguments to debate?
Spending cuts not a logical option? Or logic not an option?

This piece is exactly what you would expect, looking at the photo. Not heavy, not fancy, but clean and nice. Pattern only on one side. It shows though on the other side, but not clearly.
I am pleased with this screen. It is perfect for the space I wanted to use it. It was easy for me to set up and use.
This Shoji 4-panel screen is even more beautiful than the photo. Mys shipment arrived promptly and both screens were well packaged and in perfect condition. The quality was outstanding for the price. Thank you Overstock for such wonderful service and products.
This is a beautiful screen. It lights up the room and serves as a great decoration. The materials are of good quality. The frame is steaddy.
This screen is the perfect height ( a little under 6 feet) and with 4 panels it can be positioned a number of different ways. The fabric is sturdy and the screenprint graphics are clean - no runs or drips or mistakes. The whole screen is also sturdy - stays in place, doesn't wobble, fall down, etc. All in all, a very good deal
Does not look as pretty as pictured, but it is lightweight, and easy to maneuver
We needed this to give us some privacy in the bathroom and it fit the bill. Our bathroom is open to the master bath and it was a bit weird not having a door. This was perfect. The material was good quality and was exactly as pictured. The price was 50 dollars under Home Depot and Target for the same one. Great bargain! Love Overstock.com!!!!
I purchased this screen as it would be used on a porch window and privacy was an issue. This natural Shoji Screen is light and airy and allows light to enter the room, yet provides privacy. Love it!
Have never owned a Shoji screen but needed something attractive yet sturdy to act as a privacy barrier in front of a 15 panel glass door. The design is simple and attractive for my beach house. When the sun comes in and reflects through the screen, I love it even more.
I think this is a great screen for the price. It's attractive and does the job. I was very impressed by how quickly it shipped. The only negative is that it is very light-weight which means that it can blow over depending on where it is placed and how it is positioned. All in all, however, I think it's a great deal and looks great.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for February 3, 2014 at 4:45 am.
Looking ahead for this week, traders will be getting positioned for next Monday's February USDA Supply and Demand report. Of course the focus will be on the export number in soybeans and just how tight USDA will make the soybean ending stocks for 2014. The House of Representatives discussion of the debt ceiling will heat up this week in Washington. The new Fed Chairman Janet Yellen will be officially sworn in today. Several Fed officials will be giving speeches this week.
The March contract of corn was down 4 ½ cents last week while the weekly export number was a positive surprise. Ukraine and Argentina have economic issues which allow buyers to go to US for corn needs.
Soybeans were down only 2 cents for the week. Traders are struggling with the US exports which are running 105% of USDA's balance sheet forecast and the good rains for the soybean growing area in Brazil and Argentina. Soybean prices continue to slide at Brazil ports.
Wheat exports were good but warmer temps in the US growing areas with possible snow cover before next the cold snap continues to weigh on prices. March wheat was down 11 ¾ for the week.
Managed funds last week reduced short positions in corn by 7,208 contracts. They reduced long positions in soybeans by 5,530 contracts. Their short positions in wheat were increased by 5,930 contracts.
All Cattle and Calves, were counted at 87.730 million head, 1.8% smaller than last year. That is the smallest herd since 1951. Rich Nelson, Allendale's Chief Strategist says, "This is not a surprise. Keep in mind the herd size in no way means we have the smallest beef production since 1951. This year's production will be the smallest since 1993." Beef cutout values were sharply lower on Friday.

Sriracha and Spice Roasted Cashews - Nuts with a Kick!
Preparing healthier food for my 4-Hour Body (4HB) diet has been exciting, frustrating, rewarding, challenging, and enriching — but it has not only helped me attain my ideal body weight and decrease my body fat percentage, but it has made me a more aggressive cook, trying all sorts of recipes by necessity. Of the very few things that I find difficult with the diet is eating at precise times, especially when there is no "acceptable" food nearby. Nuts are okay in moderation, and so this is where I'm starting.
I was inspired by this recipe from the Inquiring Chef, but only took what I wanted and added my own little goodies.
2 cups raw cashew
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp Sriracha chili
1/4 cup packed brown sugar (which is not 4HB, but since I've reached my goal, I allow myself about 1/2 tsp serving a day without any adverse effects. You may reduce this to 1/8 cup or even a tsp)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
2. Put the raw cashews in a mixing bowl, and sprinkle the cumin and cinnamon on top. Move the bowl around to slightly spread the powders onto all the raw cashews. You don't want lumps on a single nut.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the Sriracha and the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely melted and the chili-syrup slightly bubbles. This takes about 1-2 minutes.
4. Pour the syrup mixture and the sesame seeds onto your spiced nuts, and quickly mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the nuts are evenly coated.
5. Transfer the nuts onto a baking tray lined with a silicon mat to avoid sticking. Remember, you're working with a type of caramel, so it will eventually harden into a candy if you don't work quickly. Spread the nuts out, and pop into the oven.
6. Watch them very closely, they could burn pretty easily. I take them out to reposition them after about 5 minutes, then put them back in for another 5. They'll be nicely roasted after about 10 minutes.
Enjoy! I had mine with black hazelnut coffee. A good serving size is about 1/4 cup (but good luck, as these can be addictive.)

That's the letter you received in the mail? IMO sounds like a Comcast employee trying to make a quick buck on the side.
Yep, that's what came in the mail, only thing in the envelope. Anyhow, gave them a call and within an hour they were here and reconnected everything, just gave em cash and everything was set. Good thing it came today, since I was literally walking out the door to pay the $700-800 it would've taken to get set back up normally, rather than small fraction it cost me this way. They were even nice enough to move me to the $19.99 internet + $29.99 digital cable + HBO plan.Only thing i wish is that service was that good for normal customers, since last time my cable went down it took a week to even get someone out here....
Completely agreed. There are people at Comcast who would be very interested in talking to Mr. Spears.A notice like that?? Followed by someone who shows up at your house, collects cash, and turns your service back on??Oh yea. It's all on the up-and-up.
Yeah, my guess would be that they were a private contractor. The phone number that was provided was the guys cell phone and they drove a normal pickup truck without any comcast marking/branding and weren't wearing the stuff comcast employees wear either. Either way, it worked out well, saved several hundred dollars and i'm back up and running without delay.
its common to get a offer like this after you were shut off for non pay. they usually show up around a month after a disconnect but sometimes its pushed up in certain cases. give a good sob story to the guy that disconnects you and he might pass your number to them next day.
Ok. I guess that I live in an area where that type of stuff is pretty much unheard of..
I can confirm what rody44 said. It happens a lot. Except I usually hear of them posting a door hanger.
for the record comcast techs can always take cash or checks and all carry id's. just to be on the safe side if your paranoid take note of the tag on the vehicle and make sure you let the tech know you did. im pretty sure everyone now has national id's and are only good for a year.
"for the record comcast techs can always take cash or checks and all carry id's."Where they have been issued id's. We've been CComcast now for 2 1/2 months, still no id's here.--Black and Gold all the way.
I have never seen this practice on the westcoast either,but what do i know i always pay my bill on time.
i dont always get my payment in precisely on the "due" date, but comcast is pretty lenient with payment here at least. I have always had it at least partially paid before the next bill, and I have never gotten a notice or late fee of any kind. I imagine it would be different if Had ever gone longer. I know of a friend that was disconnected for non payment, but that didn't happen until his roomate hadn't payed the bill for 5 months.
i would hope you had at least a id from whoever the old cable company was. ids follow the person national now from what i understand.
Still got my old Adelphia id, though most of the writing is faded out. It also has John Rigas' signature. Maybe a future collector's item? --Black and Gold all the way.
In the end, I guess it's worth it for them. When most people get to that point Comcast probably never sees a dime again, in addition to losing their equipment, so the only option is to sell their accounts to a collection agency for pennies to the dollar. Since the infrastructure is already in place for the customers it doesn't neccessarily cost them much extra to provide them service so they might as well get them back and get whatever they can that they otherwise wouldn't.
If you think about it, it's smart business. Generate a monthly income by giving someone motivation to pay some of their past due bill, of which, they likely wouldn't see otherwise.They either pay the collection agency to collect, in which case, the debtor is out the full bill and still has no service, or they offer amnesty so they can get about the same amount of money back as they would with a collection agency and bank on the customer paying their bill if they give them a second chance. Either way, both the company and the customer wins. Even of the customer gets behind again, they still got SOME money back that they wouldn't have otherwise.Granted, they get burned by this sometimes, but I am sure they also reap rewards. After all, if someone gets waaaaay behind on their cable bill and hasn't had service in a year or two, chances are they got behind on the satellite bill at some point as well. And just try to get Directv or Dish to forgive over $100 in debt and give you service back without a deposit. . . .'d never happen!
Ummm I wish I was on the clock now, maybe research online should be part of my job(see recent thread) and tell me why I love cable ?ok, that is not anyone who works for comcast, not inhouse for sure, maybe maybe there is a slim chance he does contract work for comcast, I would bet $100 he is someone who knows cable and is looking to make a couple K on the side.COMCAST DOES NOT TAKE CASH, CHECK OR MONEY ORDER ONLY, always before the job is begun too.I just saw a large gated apt complex that got gutted, a guy, and dont ask me to explain how gullible peeps can be, guy went around and cut all the cable in the lock boxes, then he put fliers like that on everyones door and asked for $65 cash, he got over 50 suckers, thats $3250 at least, I was there to clean up and I couldnt figure out how the fuck if my cable goes out all the sudden I am going to give someone cash to turn back on a service that I pay for. the fliers didnt mention amnesty, they looked good too...its a great scam, quick and thats great money for a days work.but it must have been that he was praying on the people that used to ahve cable, or had an illegal hookup, but in some way no longer paid comcast for service... and boy did he get them, seriously I got my ass reamed by a mob of people like you could barely imagine.And there was a guy that got held hostage I think I remeber hearing, went back and was recognized as a rip off guy and the residents held him and the police had to come help him I think...?damn Im glad to have a little closure on how my fellow humans could be so dumb, It was just a mess I never thought to really figure who was a sub in good standing, I wasnt there to actually do much but figure it out too haha, there was a gaggle of techs out there working...oh man steel I hate that shit but it is true, not all comcast techs have a comcast id, but if your in doubt dont deal for sure, they have a drivers license though, for sure.
I should say that I am only familiar with ATL comcast, and it must be different everywhere so they may take cash, where are you...considering that I still know its bogus, you might get cable but you wont be getting a comcast bill every month, I would guess anyhow
then explain to me how a thief managed to get a modem and digital box provisioned. im certain that amnesty programs are provided nation wide within any comcast legacy system. i dont think you work for comcast at all if you dont know these programs. its known as a comcast sales rep. 99 percent of comcast systems have them working within the comcast building. i personally know that if i do a disconnect where the person just ran into a rough period i pass the number to the sales department which happens to be a lady in my case. cash is rare, checks are very common and all credit card payments are handled over the phone via 1800comcast and are treated the same as handing cash to the tech. and yes the sales rep sometimes calls a tech for a instant install. comcasts goal is to have you remain a subscriber and this is one of the many things THEY do . my record payment was 23 hundred collected at the door and passed along to comcast. if its just a dead beat i disconnect and never look back. someone thats been a subscriber for 20 years and loses his job or gets sick deserves a little help. now if your a sub for only 4 months and havent paid for 3 of them well i say you deserve to get disconnected. if you know how to read the work order its easy to tell which applies.
yeah i posted ,and another guy, but the posts are gone now...I didnt see that he had already paid and that it was more than just analog cable...I can assure you that old boxes and any modem can be put on the system for a day or week, but longer too. you got me though because I wont say anything more about it...I also said lets see if it still works today, or when the bill comes to really know.The flier looks convincing enough in this thread but I have never heard of comcast hanging door tags to reintiate service, calling the customer after some time sure. I neer did dissconnects really, I mean thats mostly what I do but its going to apts and cleaning lockboxes and oging after cable laid out in the street and such, not one by one like nonpay.but its possible the tech is just ambitious and there is a promotion for upgrades, well for ATL we dont always get money for upgrades, only sometimes...he could take the call on his phone and then call it in and it would be all good. I ahve never seen a comcast door tag offering to provide service "in a few hours" or with any number other than 2662278, or any flier not made by comcast for that matter, we do instant installs where you call and we hook you up the same day, but its still all through dispatch. I dont really think our system is advanced, its not that old here in ATL, but maybe compared to rural america its pretty diffferent as far as dispatch and workforce express...please tell me all the comtecs here have workforce express we have it on nextels and we can hit boxes and all form our phones and work almost entirely without sitting on hold with dispatch, and we are supposed to be getting some kind of gps or something on the phones.But look the cash thing would throw me into a spin, WE DONT TAKE CASH, PERIOD. But thats just one office in metro and I assume its standard but dont know, there are others here who read that and work for comcast that didnt mention it, its what jumped at me, seems rediculous in this industry to not just protect everyone by refusing cash, the techs and customers should ahve less problems right?Thats why I figure no way its up and up if you dont get a bill payable at comcast.com.I dont know why I have such a hard time all the sudden with sounding like a normal person in print here ha. I am comcastic bro, I am a comtec 3 waiting for the rumored customer facing 4 position to open up.its really funny to see a gang of comtecs here, I was here for answers with something I couldve found anywhere, kinda nice, lots of guys I work with arent cool to chat with, just a job for most guys, but I just like it, crazy but my favorite times for a long time was my ride into work and coming home was kinda a letdown from the buzz of getting lead tech stuff... I want to know how different it is around the country, I thought it was pretty much the same with something like cash. I mean seriously everyone can see the cash problem, but the flier doesnt mention cash...I must be high...so how about pee tests in yalls area haha, we get them to the new hires once and then only after injury or car accident, even a spider bite will get you tested.
we also have 404comcast...but it seems to drop into the same system as 800comcast...I wonder if there are 2662278 for many zips...jsut tried some and no for MD area codes, well something strange at 301comcast but nothing at 410comcast.I think in smaller towns cash must be more accepted, I can understand, but what about robbery, of the customer or tech, not worth it, but maybe in your markets they are desperate for every sub or really battling with overbuilders, we are number 1 but a long shot in cable here and everywhere I figured, I think stuff is not the same everywhere.For instance we have to use this little cheapo ground block, its a barrel with a screw mount basically, and if we dont use it, or use the old surge protected ones or a nice pwer comapny box, or if it doesnt have a green tag on it the job will fail a QC.but did you get any of that cable that is a bitch to get connectors on? we still ahve some. we all know the comcast credo right, they pound that shit into us, and tell us if you meet an exec they are heavy into comcast and will ask you what the credo means to you, well it has happened to me and I fucking broke it down for the man.alas need another girl tina has left haha...Im just manic tonight, sunday-thursday and all, yea the guy with highest units and lowest repeats gets mon-fri if he wants it but I like a weekday off to do stuff, and no one really wants to work on monday right?
Some threads just don't start out very well and then its just down hill after that!
i believe the system your talking about around here is called the i.v.r., and no a tech cant use it to activate a modem or box after a disconnect. just wont work, but any system you use im sure logs the tech number and i doubt you would have a job long provisioning equipment in inhibited status. all instant installs go thru dispatch directly. oh yea the reason i knew there was a digital box involved was the bill he owed. its hard to reach 7-8 hundred with just a modem and basic cable.
I only spoke with one person...no sales or anything. The same person I spoke with on the phone was also the one that came out and reconnected my service.Basically I called the guy asked how much I would need to pay to get back on, they said they weren't in the office or whatever so i'd need to tell them the amount I owed, so I told them and they told me I needed to pay $X00 and that they would be here at X hour. They came, reconnected the cable outside and then knocked on the door. They did something or another with the digital cable box to get it working, I wasn't on the same floor so I'm not sure if they called dispatch or whatever. To get internet back on they said I would need to call up comcast and have it turned back on, which was a matter of just calling them up and giving them the modem's MAC and S/N which i did later on. After that I just handed him over cash and it was done and they left.
ok sorry to just join the conversation...MAn oh man I missed the post that you paid them...I would bet my life something is wrong, might be dead on this one though...been a day already, is everything still working?boxes will run and modems too for a short time if your crafty, but I would need to see a bill in the mail payable to comcast.net before I believed it was on the up and up...People are just so smart, I dont know shit about how to protect our stuff, but I know how the protection has be beaten and illeagle or old boxes and modems on the system...99% of it is with analog theft, regular old cable, Its so rare to see a digital theft, guess its harder to catch too, it may work but that box will be tracked and theres a chance the crooked ass that stole it will be got.hey for real I would go with it if I wasnt me
Are you drinking today? "COMCAST DOES NOT TAKE CASH, CHECK OR MONEY ORDER ONLY, always before the job is begun too."Punctuation helps there because I'm not sure what you are saying.. I think you were missing a comma, but even then, no matter how you read it, your statement is wrong. You can't apply a blanket statement accross the nation. Comcast has allowed cash payments FOR YEARS in many of the systems I've been in. And, "before the job is gebun too"? Depends on the tech.. some collect first, some last, and in some cases, the customer isn't insulted to pay at all on install."not all comcast techs have a comcast id"Are you sure you know what you are talking about? Nationwide, comcast techs are issued photo ID.I'm beginning to wonder if you really have ever worked for Comcast as well.I've worked security for 3 years for Comcast, and I've seen it all.. but I really doubt this is a scam. But, any customer that doesn't do their own homework on ANY communications is a fool for themselves.--"Wipe out the national deficit over night... Tax the stupid!" - about 50 gMail invites available. PM if you'd like one.
Um,Comcast University...But hey, if you know much about the system and how it works, the box and modem were soft disconnected about 45 days after the first bill was generated. They go soft disco and are followed by a hard disco. If he paid his bill to a collections team at the door, and theey were able to activate the boxes, I'd say it's pretty legit.These "con artists" can't activate boxes again and especially modems, even for just "a day or to, yo"...It's rare to see digital theft becuase it's damn near impossible.Please.. enlighten us veterain techs of a decade or more just how crafty you have to be to reactivate a sub's box and modem on a scam.Seriously, ... comcast university.The bottom line is that these amnesty programs, or field collections units (often ran by the direct sales departments) DO in fact exist.Ask people at your OP center WHO KNOW and you'd be surprised. These programs have been out for a decade or more.--"Wipe out the national deficit over night... Tax the stupid!" - about 50 gMail invites available. PM if you'd like one.
