Re: Snakebite Cortez™ Newsletter
Hey sir, what do you believe in? You're obviously a human of experience, talent, and ability. At this point in the game, the world is truly your oyster.. so I'm curious... as a master artist.. what is your end game? I'm sure you wish to learn and grow, which involves trial and failure.. but in the end.. if you surmised your life point... what's your hope?.. the point would be?... I ask, ... because I'm seeking direction... you don't seem money oriented.. so your answer matters very much to me....

Great Baker's Rack
I was looking for something to use as a plant stand for the colder months when plants needed to come inside. This Baker's Rack looked like it would be a good choice given the dimentions and material. it looked nice in the picture, too. The reviews helped me decide on this product, and they weren't wrong. This is a really nice looking piece and it's very sturdy. It really helped to have two people putting it together to make sure all holes were lined up properly to insert screws. Only one area gave us a little problem, but ultimately all worked well. It was well designed, everything lined up correctly, and it looks great.Read More
baker's rack
I bought this bakers rack as a bookcase in my bedroom. It matches the styling of lamps that I have. The size fits perfectly in a corner between the closet door and a window. It has a nice light feeling because it is open rather than a heavy look of a typical bookcase. I have a combination of pretty pottery, books, magazines on the bottom shelf and a spider plant on the top shelf. I use it to keep my end tables from getting cluttered with books and magazines It enhances the room exactly as I imagined it would. It is nicely engineered to be easy to put together and looks well made. I put it together myself (65 yr old femaile). I love it and would recommend this to anyone.Read More
Finally, something that really fits together!
I usually hate anything you have to assemble yourself but this was almost "fun". Everything lined up! All the holes were properly tapped for threads. It has been awhile since I had to assemble anything so maybe everything is this well made now. I think it looks much better in reality than online. I needed this to be the exact size as stated and it is so it is a perfect fit. Once assembled, it is rock steady and very strong. Realistically I doubt you could overload it. I have a lot of cast iron skillets and piled them on the shelves, no problem. The finish is very even and smooth and the overall appearance looks a lot like wrought iron.Read More
nicer than more expensive versions in stores
Beautiful wrought iron look, easy to assemble and sturdy after being put together by a not-so-handy person (me). Fits the space perfectly. Another great purchase from Overstock.Read More
I like this narrow rack. The welds are somewhat sloppy, but I've bought several different products like this and that seems to be the general quality in place. The shelving does not appear it could withstand much weight per shelf without snapping the welds. The spacing of the wires on the shelving makes smaller candle holders want to tip into the spacing. I'm going to try to find a stiff, thin material to line the shelves. This unit was easy to put together. It has a lovely gun stock grey color. I think it's very attractive and it would go in any room. I'd defnitely buy it again, and am considering doing so. :)Read More
Questions & Answers
Exact size for the space, attractive color, reasonable price!
Looks, reviews, price and delivery date,
size and shape/style
Compact size...
Are these shelves glass?
Hello lewis3, Yes those are shelves glass. If you click on the options scroll down it will tell you each size available with the price.
No! They're metal strips across a metal frame. No glass on this piece at all!
There is absolutely no glass in these shelves. The metal strips are flat and 1/2" wide with a 7/8" space between each strip.
Is the metal rust-proof? I want to use this stand in my patio, so it will be exposed to humidity and rain.
This product is not rust-proof, and it will rust if it is left out in the rain.
I've had product exposed to elements for a year. No sign of rust. Black finish has oxidized but some auto rubbing compound would fix that.
what is the load capability of the shelves on this bakers rack?
The larger shelves can carry up to 30 pounds while the smaller shelves has a load limit of 20 pounds.

Veteran Animator Walter Peregoy Cusses Out Walt Disney
This is soooo funny. Mr. Peregoy doesn't bite his tongue. The old timer is so funny I was waiting for him to spout such exclamations as "By Cracky!" or "Dadgummit"...
Re: Veteran Animator Walter Peregoy Cusses Out Walt Disney
Good for him. But that video was sad. Whats wrong with everyone laughing at him like that? His handler telling him to shut up basically? I didn't like any of that. He was a real positive dude and he pointed out his truth. We should all be so lucky enough to have a set of balls like that.
I know I got a lot from him and I wouldn't of been laughing and talking while he was sharing his insight and experience.
Re: Veteran Animator Walter Peregoy Cusses Out Walt Disney
Yes my friends I too find it disturbing. That such an outspoken man and great talent of historical legacy in animation is treated like a sideshow. This was the kind of character I found in the old timers of animation when I broke into the biz in the early 1980s. That's what I mean by rugged artists as opposed to the mentality and attitude of our present time whose career concerns confine them.
But you can make a career as an independent instead of a dependent and say whatever the hell you want and not worry about getting laid off or blacklisted by your peers!
Check this out guys, here's Walt Peregoy in the late 1950s in an art education film hosted by the very man that Mr. Peregoy don't like.
Sure beats a corporate rat for a boss!
A good word to Walt Disney is in order I'd say. You can find Walt Peregoy at around 5:15 of the video along with several of Mr. Disney's greats.
A terrific video! Check it out...

Re: Veteran Animator Walter Peregoy Cusses Out Walt Disney
Great video. So ahead of their time they really don't even do it today.

Huge game tonight @ Staples Center for the rested Clippers vs the Blazers, who are coming off a home loss vs the Thunder. The guys must play good defense, defend the 3 point line well, and get some steals to win. Thoughts & predictions?
I want this one. And I am cautiously optimistic that we'll win it.
This begins a Really tough Stretch for the Clippers, so Getting this one will be Huge. On a Side note, with that horrible game LA had last night vs the Thunder, Blake moved past him by a few percentage point's for 6th in the NBA in Scoring.
Hope LA has a Repeat performance, he was playing hurt yesterday, but Kendrick Perkins (Who did the Best Job Guarding LA), really Body'd him up on the Perimeter, but he was missing allot of shots he normally makes. Also Mo Williams didn't play as Well.
I think we don't give the Clippers a lot of credit on the defensive end, myself included
The Clippers are Top 10 in Offensive and Defensive Eff. Doc Rivers is starting to show in these guys and its great to see. The fight they have every night is great even against Miami,Portland, especially against the Mavericks... TWICE. We defend the 3 point line so much better now. Do you guys really watch close like I do. Do you see Jamal get low and in a defensive stance when he is on Defense. Blake may not block shots , but he takes charges and DJ may not take charges , but he blocks shots. That Is all from positioning taught by Doc Rivers. The Players on the Clips think they have hit their stride , but I think they aren't even close yet.
As for this Portland game, Portland will be tired. Clips well rested and had their first practice in forever yesterday. Clippers still need to come to play. A win would almost put us practically in 3rd for the Stretch Run.
@EricPatten: Portland comes to L.A. with a 36-16 record. Clippers are 36-18. A win by #LAC would move them 0.007 points in the standings away from 3rd.
Aldridge had a terrible game last night. Perkins guarded him most of the time, correct? I believe DJ with his length should guard LA as well. I am excited for this game. I think the goal is to come out with energy against these tired Blazers. Make them RUN. Put on a Lob or L.O.B. City show.
My Keys To The Game:
CONTROL TURNOVERS. Chris may have some when Batum is on him. That Is why I am glad Chris came back against Michael Carter-Williams because he had to adjust to long and tall defender. Batum is 6'8 and MCW is 6'7.
You cannot allow this Blazer team to keep getting Offensive rebounds and easy buckets or kick-outs for wide-open 3's.
DO NOT OVER HELP ON ALDRIDGE. If our guards continue to over help and then LA kicks it out for the quick 3 it will be a long night.
PLAY SOLID D FOR 24 SECONDS OR UNTIL THEY TURN IT OVER. Never give up on the play. Yeah they will score , but we have to make sure every shot is contested and every lay up is altered ( not necessarily blocked - but yeah those are good too )
RUN RUN RUN. The Blazers are coming off a close loss to the Thunder. It was a grind out game. They will be tired and we should run every chance we get.
++Blake gets the board - Fastbreak right there because No one can stop Blake when he brings the ball up the floor. He is too fast for bigs and to strong for guards
Every-time we SECURE A defensive rebound you have to push the ball up the floor. If anyone besides DJ, Hollins or Dudley get the rebound just go. DJ has become a great outlet passer so if he can do that then that also counts as pushing the ball up the floor.
I think the Clippers win this by 7 or more. Can't WAIT!!!!!!
The Blazers are on a second night of a back-to-back, so they will have some tired legs. Clippers need to come out fast and outgun them right away. LMA struggled last night with his shots so I hope he continues having trouble. He was playing injured so perhaps that will also limit his game tonight. Batum is a pesky defender (or at least he was at last night's game) so Clips need to get him out of his rhythm. I hope the Clips win this easily.
With back to back game for the Blazers it will be a huge win by the Clips tonight.
Rebounding will be the story of this game. One-and-done, and we should be OK.
such a huge game going into the break. If we win this, we will be essentially tied with portland for the 3 seed. In my opinion we need to be striving for the 2 seed, we gotta do everything we can to avoid GSW in the first round, they're our kryptonite
We will win this game and it probably won't be close. 2nd of back to back for them.
Hope JJ gets some run.
We got no excuses for losing this game, even without JJ. Don't get me wrong, I think we're even better with Redick but our team is rested, they are not. We're at home, they're on the road. If we lose, then they are clearly the better team right now.
I definitely think this is a key game. If we were blaming some of our losses on the schedule and tough second nights of a back to back against tough opponents; then this is where we get those back. This is Portland's version, so we have to take it. We can't take it for granted and think it's an automatic win. We have to get them early and run them down early, get big leads right away and then reinforce it in the 3rd, and finishing it off in the end.
We can't take to much out of a win here, but it can show a lot of maturity problems with a loss in my opinion. Rebounding needs to be a priority, don't let their perimeter players come back in for easy boards.
Just watched the recap of the Thunder game, they're for real they played with LA 5-22 and only lost by 3 pts, we have to put DJ on LA to bother those jumpshots and make sure we box out Lopez he loves tip ins.
Bought two tickets on **** for $15 a piece. Pretty stoked to be going tonight. Should be a great game!
Wow only $15? That Is crazy.
I want to crush the Blazers so badly. Revenge time and time to get the 3rd seed!
I'm a little scared that mo will torch us - he is back tonight and is capable of making big shots.
JJ will not play. Per Doc Rivers. He will be back after All-Star
Team has to bring the big game energy and hunger for a full game. Hopefully they got a great practice in and warm up well to come out the gates aggressive.
As much as I love JJ, I am tired of his injuries. Billups 2.0
JJ isn't your typical SG though. He gets in there and fights for rebounds and is real gritty. He doesn't stand behind the three-point line and shoot. Running off of screen can cause injuries too. I can understand JJs injuries. JJ said that he had been playing with the same injury the past 5 games. Each injury he has had was caused by another one. Its disrespectful to say Billups 2.0. JJ has been far more productive in his few games than Chauncey was the entire tenure with the Clips.
Brian Cook Anyone?
@ShamsCharania: Free agent Brian Cook, with Utah Jazz in October, has started gauging leaguewide interest, source tells RealGM. Cook is training in L.A.
Would be nice if we could build the chemistry with full starting unit though.
Yes cookie !! Go clipper tonites a statement game
As long as we have everybody back and healthy for the last 15-20 games before heading into the PO's we should be fine.
How is that disrespectful? Maybe you're reading too much into a simple comment. In terms of time played in less than 1/2 a season due to injuries, a comparison can be made without insulting. Jeez, lighten up Francis.
Agreed - it's not a knock on jj redicks skills to say he has been brittle this year. We all know what he can do for us which is why we want him back. I don't think anyone wanted billups to be on the court last year he was over the hill.
We all think Dudley is trash right now, right? So people call him Gomes 2.0, correct? Aren't they using that in a derogatory/disrespectful way? I believe so. I just took from what I have seen on this site and had predetermined that anything former clipper 2.0 was being used negatively. Your statement was in the air. I could have been disrespectful it could not have been. Its hard to tell. Now if you said "Billups 2.0 in regards to injury and missed games not in regards to production" or something of that nature it would be easier to determine how the term was being used that is all. Its all good. I just feel calling JJ Reddick Billups 2.0 is not the best comparison IMO. Again Its all good though
Big test for this team, no excuses for losing this one.
Lets get it. Tonight is a big game for blake. He needs to show up and prove to everyone he is better then Aldridge.
Nah... Grant was over the hill... Chauncey was over the hill, down the other side, across the beach, on a ship, sailed over the ocean to Tibet, then over the Himalayas and back down the other side, in a cemetery with one foot in the grave.
It's all good but I thought the first sentence left little room for error.
Like I said, it's all good. Now lets kick some Blazer ass tonight.
As far as JJ is concerned, all can be redeemed in the playoffs!
Now as Clipper*Joe said:
2.0 is only negative if the 1.0 version was crap.
JJ's not usually brittle...and he's certainly not as old as Chauncey. Just bad luck. Maybe working a little harder for Doc than he's had to for SVG. And let's face it, the hand thing was pretty much a freak injury. He'll be alright down the stretch.
Can't wait to get revenge on the Blazers with a big win tonight. Even with no JJ, I still say we find a way to pull out a win at home.
It's safe to safe to say JJ has been Brittle as hell this season.
He comes back from a wrist injury after missing 20 games only
to injure 3 other body parts in 4 games.
come on.
Haha yikes. Man, we were lucky enough to find someone to take him off our hands once, we won't be so lucky a second time.
I'm so pumped for this game- it's the one game I get to go to this season, so we better get this W!
Madelyn Burke @MadelynBurke 14m
Willie Green (sore right hip) and JJ Redick (also sore right hip) OUT tonight for #Clippers vs #Blazers
Sounds like Willie Green may be out also tonight.
Huge game tonight.... I want a win.
Will this team ever be fully healthy? SMH...
maybe its to give sasha and reggie some playing time
Sasha is garbage. Reggie should get more minutes though.
Sasha's 10 day contract is up tonight I think, so he might give us some good minutes. Can only hope.
What no Willie !! Crap he has been solid lately !! Maybe being traded ??? Will See !!! Go clippers kick the blazers ass
sore right hip
@GameReporter32: @EricPatten Is Sasha still on the team
@EricPatten: @GameReporter32 yes
I hope Sahsa and Reggie can make some shots. Its been a tight-game type of night in the game of basketball. I have a feeling there will be a game-winner in the Clippers favor tonight. I hope its not the close. My nerves are shot after those Miami and Denver games
Bummer that Willie also has a sore hip. This team just can't catch a break in having everyone healthy. I hope after the All-Star break the Clippers will be a full squad, no injuries. That would be something.
Ariza has 10 three's tonight, 10/14. I know someone is probably thinking "you can't whine anymore about that non-trade", but I've whined since the first time it came out and I'll continue to whine about it, lol
Go Clippers! Tired of the Blazers
It kills me though because we probably make that trade and end up Ariza as our starting forward this season rather than Dudley and we still sign JJ. WoW. I need to stop because I am about to start crying
My predicition for this game is this:
The tires on this Blazer should be flat tonight.
If we win tonight, we move up to the 3rd place, right?

Jodi stepped off the scale. Oh no, not another pound. Returning to her desk, she had to pass her co-worker.
Edith held out a tin of cookies. "Jodi, Chocolate Chip cookies -- I baked them last night."
Jodi picked one up. "The doctor said I need to loose weight, but your cookies are so good."
Hearing the conversation, Dorothy joined them grinning. "Surely one cookie would not cause you to gain weight." She bit into an apple chomping away happily.
Jodi put the cookie down. "Thanks, but I am officially on a diet." Walking away, she felt like an overcomer.

In the bible when Jesus said "My God why hast thou forsaken me", my understanding is that references PSA 22. So I think the bible is full of allusion. One bible teacher I listen to always says the bible confirms it's self as he is cross referencing scriptures.

What about this situation which I have just created:
'Joe resolutely refused to clinch his business deals through underhand methods or succumb to what his colleagues' advice to offer gifts as carrots. He even resisted his boss's strong hint at doing it. He really dared to be a Daniel in his work place,I thought.'
Thinking aloud, the allusion here might be a double-barrel one as it alludes to a hymn Dare To Be A Daniel , and to those who aren't aware of it might think of the allusion to the minor prophet Daniel.

Mahogany Marble Solitaire Game
An exquisite gift, as a display or to tantalize the brain.
Deluxe Mahogany Solitaire Board Game
Solitaire is a board game for one player involving movement of pegs or marbles on a board with holes. Game includes a full set of glass playing marbles. The standard board game fills the entire board with marbles except for the central hole. The objective of solitaire is, making valid moves, to empty the entire board except for a solitary marble in the central hole. You are only allowed to make legal "jumps" to play the game.
The first real evidence of the game can be traced back to the court of King Louis XIV and the specific date of 1697. The game featured in several works of art from the time, implying that it was widely played and very much in fashion.
Jaques Master Solitaire features a hand turned base constructed from mahogany, complete with hand turned feet, and thirty-two (32) colorful hand-blown glass marbles. This game makes a wonderful coffee table centerpiece.
Board size options: 9" x 9", 12" x 12", or 15" x 15"

In log-plots a quantity is plotted on a logarithmic scale. This got me thinking about what the logarithm of a unit actually is.
Suppose I have something with length $L = 1 km$.
$\lg L = \lg km$
It seems that the unit of $\lg L$ is $\lg km$, but I can also say $L = 1000 m$ and now:
$\lg L = 3 + \lg m$
This doesn't appear to have any units at all.
This suggests that $\lg km$ and $\lg m$ are actually dimensionless numbers. But wait, I can do this with any unit! Does it actually make sense to talk about the logarithm of a unit, or some other function for that matter?

Zoosk recently conducted a series of surveys to gather Americans' thoughts on social media etiquette when it comes to sharing romantic moments on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. What did we find out? Well, our survey findings show that both singles and couples embrace social media, but are also very cautious when it comes to sharing personal information about their relationships on social media sites! Not surprising, in this day and age. But we also found out that couples do embrace certain technologies, like text messages, that help them interact throughout the day and feel connected to each other. (Like our Zoosk couple profiles!) Some of our specific survey findings include:
Americans restrict social media sharing for the sake of their professional careers.
Couples embrace technology in their relationships.
Texting can be romantic!
Women like to view their friends' date night photos; men prefer privacy.
We asked two social media and dating experts for their input, and they offered the following tips:
About the surveys: Data shared in this release comes from three Zoosk surveys conducted online, among users of Zoosk who reside in the United States. A survey in June 2012 fielded responses from more than 1,600 of its members who are in a committed relationship. Surveys in July and August 2012 fielded responses from 3,146 and 1,281 members, respectively, who are single and/or in a committed relationship.

Obama's Definition of 'Liberty'
Oh, how far-removed we are from what now seems like the "innocent" Bill Clinton days when all we had to worry about was the various definitions of the word "is". And now, after watching President Obama's second term inaugural address, it is clear we have a president who calls into question the meaning of the word "liberty."
It is incomprehensible that this former constitutional lawyer would argue during his speech that America has evolved to the extent "our founding documents" no longer require us to "define liberty in exactly the same way." But then again, it's not so far-fetched considering what he's done so far as well as the radicals he's wrapped his life around. Some in the mainstream media have pondered if compromising with Republicans will be part of his second term agenda, but based on his address, the short answer is "no." Put on your seatbelts; we're headed for four more years of divide and conquer politics. The carnage will be immense, considering the majority of Americans are not far-left radicals.
Clearly, our founders defined liberty as the right of individuals to pursue their own interests with minimal interference from a limited government. To suggest otherwise either shows a lack of understanding of America's founding principles or a disregard for the same. Obama seems intent on widening the already colossal ideological divide.
And herein lies the complexity of a community organizer turned president: his ideology contradicts the constitution he is sworn to uphold.
If the ultimate goal is to shake up, tear down, and fundamentally transform America into the collectivist society Obama's honey-filled words dripped of, he will do so without the support of half the country. As the rest of us find ourselves scratching our heads trying to figure out where the constitutional authority exists to achieve this transformation, Obama moves forward, motivated by a ludicrous notion that the Constitution must change because times have.
Obama's inaugural speech words echoed similar thoughts from his book, "The Audacity of Hope," suggesting the Constitution "is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world."
At least he is consistent. On WBEZ-FM, Chicago, 12 years ago, making a case for wealth redistribution and social justice, suggesting it would be found in what the Constitution did not say. Citing a previous court case, Obama said, "the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties" mandating "what the states can't do to you" and "what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf."
And he's lived in the gray ever since. Black and white have given way to ever-expanding shades of gray so much that listening to a policy speech from the president requires an interpreter. The inaugural speech was replete with duplicitous and eerily conservative phrasing like "equality" to conceal wealth redistribution and "safety" in "the quiet lanes of Newtown" to mask expanded gun control.
It might be time for citizens to grasp an understanding of what our founders meant when they wrote and spoke about liberty. Let me leave you with former congressman Ron Paul's definition: "Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks…Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety…Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen, and a false government security blanket beckons."
I still believe. How about you?

Will The IPO Drought End In February 2009?7 Comments Published January 29th, 2009 in Market Internals
I know that the IPO market activity is a contrarian indicator for the stock market but this is ridiculous! The present public issuance market is the worst we've seen since the vicious bear market of the 1970's.
The last IPO to grace us was Grand Canyon Education (LOPE) back in November 20th, 2008. Before that, we had Rackspace Hosting (RAX) on August 8th, 2008 and China Mass Media (CMM) on August 4th, 2008. Can you believe for the whole year, we only had 20 IPOs?
According to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), venture capitalists are bracing themselves for a very tough year in 2009. Please join me in a moment of silence for the poor Patek-Philippe wearing, Veuve-Clicquot sipping VC who won't be able to flip his holdings to Mom'n'Pop for the usual 10 bagger. Most of them expect the IPO market to thaw sometime next year; but 92% of VC's surveyed said they expect a slowdown in investments with 61% believing that the slow down would be more than 10% compared to last year, and cause funding to fall to $27 billion for the year.
The Obama adiministration's stimulus package may become the main theme of IPOs for the remainder of the year as investment banks try to ride the wave of infrastructure plays. But right now, there are a couple of IPOs coming down the pipeline already, hinting that we may be starting to see some action soon:
- O'Gara (OGAR) - a homeland security play
- Mead Johnson (MJN) - infant nutrition [spin-off from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS)]
- Medidata Solutions (MDSO) - biotech consulting firm
Believe it or not, I can still remember a time when traders had the luxury of predominantly trading IPOs and spin-offs!
Here's an interactive chart (use the slider to zoom in) showing historical annual data for the number of IPOs :

When the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board of Directors begins its toll-setting process for 2013 later this year, the agency likely will set rates for the next few years.
The Board�s Finance Committee discussed the policy that will govern the upcoming toll-setting process on Wednesday.
Setting tolls one year at a time would give the board more flexibility to adjust to funding situations that currently are unknown, said Andy Rountree, the Airports Authority chief financial officer.
The authority is using toll revenues to finance a large chunk of the new rail line to Washington Dulles International Airport. With the first phase of the new Silver Line still under construction, and the second phase facing some funding unknowns, �there are a lot of uncertainties as this project moves forward,� Rountree said.
On the other hand, the investors who will be purchasing bonds backed by the tolls might be more amenable to a three-year tolling plan, Rountree said.
�There are a lot of positives that come from setting tolls for a period of time,� he said.
Some board members highlighted a different positive from setting rates three years at a time — reducing how often they have to undergo what could be a politically charged process.
�In the political environment we are now operating in, [a multi-year toll increase] makes a very effective statement to our potential investors,� said board member Robert Clarke Brown.
It also could be helpful for business owners and others in the corridor to have more insight into future toll rates, said Thomas Davis III, a former Northern Virginia congressman who now serves on the MWAA board.
�We want this to be a very deliberate, very transparent process because it does have an impact on people,� said board member Frank Conner III.
The public comment period for the proposed new toll rates is scheduled for July and August, and the MWAA board is tentatively scheduled to adopt new rates for 2013 through as far as 2015 this October.
Toll rates could go as high as $4.50 per trip next year, but the airports authority�s advisors say that as long as they get to $4.50 by 2016, there is flexibility in the rates for the next few years.
Currently, a full trip on the toll road costs $2.25.
There also are unknown factors, such as potential state funding for the project and the possibility of obtaining low-interest federal loans, which could affect the level of tolling needed, Rountree said.

A prepaid phone card is, as its name suggests, a card that a consumer buys for a flat fee in order to make long distance telephone calls. The cards are often advertised as enabling buyers, for a fee of several dollars, to make a specified number of minutes of calls to a certain destination; for example, "$5 for 1000 Minutes to Guatemala." You use the card by calling an access number, which can be either a local telephone number or toll-free number, and you will then be prompted to provide your personal identification number (PIN) and the telephone number you wish to call. An automated voice may also tell you how much time you have left on your card, and may also give you other information or options.
Before buying a prepaid phone card, you should know that the FCC and other federal and state agencies have taken enforcement action against certain distributors or providers of these cards. The FCC's actions have proposed to penalize certain prepaid card providers a total of $30 million for misleadingly advertising that, for a fee of just a few dollars, with the cards, buyers can make hundreds or thousands of minutes of calls to certain advertised destinations. In fact, in these cases, for that fee, a consumer using a card can make calls for only a fraction of those minutes due to the provider's assessment of multiple fees and surcharges that are not clearly and conspicuously disclosed. For that reason, before buying a prepaid phone card, consumers should be particularly careful to ensure that they fully understand all of the terms and conditions associated for the card, as discussed below.
What Should Consumers Look For Before Purchasing a Prepaid Phone Card?Particularly in light of the problems consumers have reported, before buying a card, you should:
- make sure that you understand the instructions on how to use the card;
- read the fine print on the packaging or back of the card to understand any conditions or limitations on the use of the card;
- make sure that you understand the rates for your particular phone card;
- make sure that you understand the fees that may be assessed to use the card, such as whether, and if so, by how much, the card's value will be reduced by any "post-call," "disconnect," or hang-up" fees after each time you use the card, or by a "maintenance" fee charged after you use the card for the first time and again at regular intervals;
- check whether the advertised minutes for the card apply only to a single call or over the course of multiple calls;
- check the card's expiration date to avoid losing unused minutes;
- look for a toll-free customer service number provided with or on the card, and ensure that, if you use a toll-free access number to place a call, you will not be charged for doing so; and
- ask your friends and family to recommend cards they have used with which they had a positive experience.
Common Complaints Associated with Prepaid Phone Cards
As pre-paid phone cards are increasing in popularity, some common complaints are:
- access numbers and/or PINs that don't work;
- service or access numbers that are always busy;
- card issuers that go out of business, leaving people with useless cards;
- rates that are higher than advertised, or contain undisclosed fees;
- imposing undisclosed "post-call" fees deducted after a call's completion;
- imposing undisclosed "maintenance" fees deducted after a call or at regular intervals;
- cards that charge you even when your call does not go through;
- poor quality connections;
- cards that expire without the purchaser's knowledge; and
- per-call fees deducted from the time.
What Should I Do if I Have a Problem with a Prepaid Phone Card?
First, try contacting the card issuer, who is usually listed on the back of the card (or who can be identified by calling the customer service number listed on the card). If that doesn't work, you can file a complaint with the FCC. You can file your complaint using an FCC online form.
You can also file your complaint with the FCC's Consumer Center by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice or 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20554.
What to Include in Your Complaint
The best way to provide all the information the FCC needs to process your complaint is to complete fully the online complaint form. When you open the online complaint form, you will be asked a series of questions that will take you to the particular section of the form you need to complete. If you do not use the online complaint form, your complaint, at a minimum, should indicate:
- your name, address, email address and phone number where you can be reached;

Polyken/Nashua 438X Extreme Weather FSK Tape is a Foil, Scrim, Kraft laminate tape with acrylic adhesive suitable for use in a wide range of temperatures. Used to seal and patch FSK duct boards and insulation. Provides an extra-strength seal to maintain vapor barrier integrity. Polyken/Nashua 438X is specially designed to meet high strength, tear resistant sealing tape requirements. Provides excellent adhesion to substrates over extreme temperature ranges (from -35°F to 260°F). Diamond pattern matches most FSK boards and blankets. 438X is UV, moisture and mold resistant and is non-solvent for less odor. It also has low VOC content and contributes toward satisfying EQ Credit 4.1 (Low Emitting Materials, Adhesives & Sealants) under LEED®. Meets flammability requirements for use in construction, aerospace and marine applications. Comes on a paper release liner.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Surf the net with one of the best web kit browsers available on the internet today.
While Internet Explorer may hold the top browsing seat in the Windows environment, it's not the only browser choice available. The browser wars may or may not be over, and choices now abound. If you're looking for an alternative for your Windows platform, or have made a switch to OS X, then you're going to want to take a look at Apple's Safari browser. It's one of the best browsers around, and like most, it's free.
While many web browsers may seem similar, Safari sets itself apart. OS X has multi-touch gesturing built in, and Safari fully supports it. With Safari and OS X you can tap, scroll, and swipe your way around the web. With two fingers on the trackpad, you can swipe to go back and forth between web pages. They slide in and out of the Safari window as you swipe. Safari supports an easy way to zoom in and out of a particular part of a web page. Double-tap any area with two fingers to magnify it, then tap again to return to the original size. You can also pinch with your thumb and index finger to zoom in and out more precisely. You can also scroll up or down with two fingers, making use of your scrolling's momentum makes Safari browsing experience even more natural.
Safari's security features also make surfing more secure, protecting your privacy. To keep your surfing habits to yourself, Safari offers Private Browsing. Simply turn it on, and Safari stops keeping track of your web history, and storing your searches, cookies, and the data in any online forms you fill out. Greater control can be found in Safari's preferences.
Pros: Free, fast, secure, multi-touch, support for CSS3 and HTML5.
Cons: Not all features are available on the Windows side
Conclusion: Safari is a great browsing alternative, and offers a great deal of features and functionality. The only down side that I've seen is that not all features are available to Windows users, though it is the default browser on all Apple Mac systems. On the Windows side, its security features and speed make it a worthy choice in replacement, or in addition to, any other browser you may currently use.

text: Center for the Study of Environmental Change The Center for the Study of Environmental Change serves as a node for the coordination of educational, research and outreach activities related to the environmental effects of Earth's changing climate. By supporting the study and understanding of these effects in the local and global environment, the Center will promote a more just and sustainable society, in keeping with the Jesuit mission of Le Moyne College. "Mankind is not living in harmony with the world. Nature has become a mere quarry for the domain, for economic exploitation. And so our house, our body, something in us degrades. Modern civilization has in itself a biodegradable dimension." - Pope Francis (at a Mass in Brazil in 2007) Climate Change and the Catholic Church "(In September) a working group of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, one of the oldest scientific institutes in the world, issued a sobering report on the impacts for humankind as a result of the global retreat of mountain glaciers as a result of human activity leading to climate change. In their declaration, the working group calls, "on all people and nations to recognize the serious and potentially irreversible impacts of global warming caused by the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, and by changes in forests, wetlands, grasslands, and other land uses." They echoed Pope Benedict XVI's 2010 World Day of Peace Message saying, "…if we want justice and peace, we must protect the habitat that sustains us." Veerabhadran Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego—a member of the Pontifical Academy since 2004 and a co-chair of the working group said to ClimateWire, "I have never participated in any report in 30 years where the word 'God' is mentioned. I think the Vatican brings that moral authority." [Independent Catholic News, May 12, 2012] " (Cardinal) Turkson said the pope was "compelled by the scientific evidence for climate change," and the cardinal pointed to the synthesis report of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. That study, released last November, found climate change is happening and it's almost entirely man's fault. Turkson acknowledged disagreement over the panel's findings but said "for Pope Francis, however, that is not the point." The cardinal said Francis was concerned with affirming "a truth revealed" in Genesis 2:15 on the sacred duty to till and keep the earth. [reported by Fox News, March 10, 2105] Environmental Research The concern over and study of global climate change has pervaded nearly all aspects of environmental research in recent years. CSEC is sponsoring projects that add important new data to our understanding of how the global environment is changing in response to climate change. In particular, Le Moyne and CSEC are proud to be founding members of the Jesuit Environmental Change Network The Society of Jesus has recognized the imperative to address climate change for its social consequences and has advocated action: "The effects of climate change, such as those caused by natural disasters like flooding and droughts, have the greatest negative consequences for those who are the poorest, " said Fr. Jim Stormes (MAR), Secretary for Social and International Ministries for the Jesuit Conference. "And the potential solutions for reducing the changes we are making on the environment have costs associated with them that disproportionally impact those who are least able to take on the additional financial burden. When considering the possibilities to reduce climate change, the Church always tries to bring the voice of the poor to the discussion." [Creighton News Center, April 22, 2009] Modern climate science is driven largely by computer modeling, in particular, the construction of General Circulation Models (GCMs), which are the basis for predictions of future climate change. While GCMs have been become increasingly refined with the ability to handle smaller grid-blocks, they do not readily predict the ecological impacts of climate change. This is because the current state of our understanding of the relationship between ecology and climate change remains rather rudimentary. At its essence, ecology is the study of the relationship between organisms and all elements of their environment, both physical and biological. Hence, a change in the physical environment that alters budding or flowering cycles, food availability, habitat area or nesting behavior, for example, can disrupt the equilibrium state (if it exists) between members of a community. Therefore, a wide variety and large quantity of detailed observations, gathered over a broad spatial range, and over an extended temporal range, will be required to properly document the global impact of climate change on the environment, in general, and ecological systems in particular. This is an Invitation to Join Faculty and students at Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States and across the globe can and should contribute climatologically relevant data that can be made available to researchers studying climate change. The types of observations that would be useful to this project have a ready analog in the "citizen-science" networks in the U.S., such as Project Budburst and the Audubon Society's Annual Christmas Bird Count, both of which are successful at gathering large volumes of information across a large area. CSEC vigorously encourages all interested citizens to join these types of projects and contribute to the scientific endeavor. The Jesuit Environmental Change Network (JECN) will rely on recruiting a cohort of faculty and students trained specifically to collect the data. The JECN is modeled after, and will a partner organization with the National Phenology Network (USA-NPN; sponsored by the USGS) operates Nature's Notebook, a project that uses researchers, students (and volunteers) to collect phenological (related to animal and plant life cycles) data from across the U.S. A similar network project is the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON), sponsored by the NSF, which collects a wider variety of environmental data from across North America. In concept, the JECN described here seeks to extend worldwide the success of NEON and Nature's Notebook, which are exclusively limited in scope to North America. The JECN also operates in partnership with the International Jesuit Ecology Project, a global ecology education and outreach endeavor sponsored by Loyola University Chicago. MEMBERS (as of 08/31/13) INSTITUTION CONTACT OBSERVATION SITE SPECIES Le Moyne College(Syracuse, NY) Hilary McManus (firstname.lastname@example.com) campus Sherilyn Smith (firstname.lastname@example.com) campus Donald McCrimmon (email@example.com) regional bird arrival data Boston College Colleen Hitchcock (email@example.com) campus Fordham University J. D. Lewis, Dept. Chair (firstname.lastname@example.com) Louis Calder Center - Biological Field Station Loyola University Chicago Fr. Stephen Mitten, S.J. (email@example.com) Loyola University Retreat and Ecology Campus Step One: Join the Network and Help it Expand! Is your institution collecting phenological data already; are you registered with USA-NPN? Let us know so you can join the list of participants below. If not, let's get started. Go the Nature's Notebook website and "Learn How to Observe." You will find a variety of resources there to help you get started. Choose a project that you and your students can do that does not require substantial resources. It is surprisingly easy to incorporate recording seasonal changes into a variety of undergraduate biology classes, recording day to day observations for spring and fall of campus trees, nearby botanical gardens or arboretums. Register your study with Nature's Notebook and load your data through their portal. Remember, your data are only useful if they are available to researchers. Also, with some detective work, you may find dated photographs of your observation sites that allow comparisons across decadal timescales. Step Two: Let's Go Global! Jesuit institutions are global, with almost 190 colleges and universities distributed on all continents (aside from Antarctica). Expanding the pool of climatologically useful data to incorporate observations from some of these broadly distributed institutions will aid scientific research immensely. We need our members in the United States to contact partners in other countries. True, not all of the international institutions on the map below have faculty in the natural sciences who can contribute data, and not all of the institutions are located in regions where climate change is readily observable. Nonetheless, opportunities exist. A good place to start is utilizing existing connections. Many of us already have study abroad or international research sites, either free-standing or embedded in another (Jesuit or non-Jesuit) institution where data collection can be started. Many major cities around the world have arboretums or botanical gardens that serve as excellent observation posts, and some of these may already have data waiting to be mined, particularly in Europe (for example, see the website for the International Phenology Gardens). For the time being, the USA-NPN site seems the most practical place to load and store data, and they are very happy to have more partners contributing data. Please note that the NPN has a list of vetted species for observations, so those of you collecting international data may need to work with the NPN to load data on non-vetted species. Step Three: Keep us Posted Let me know who you are and where you are collecting data (including any international partners), so that we can keep track of the geographic distribution of our observations. Le Moyne's Environmental Research At present, most of our research focuses on processes of soil formation, in particular, on rates of floral colonization and carbon storage, with active study sites in Iceland and Costa Rica. The environmental analysis labs at Le Moyne are equipped with a JEOL JSM-6510LV Scanning Electron Microscope, Bruker D-2 Phaser X-Ray Diffractometer and a LECO TruSpec C/N. Financial support for some of these facilities and activities has been provided by NSF and HSBC.

In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders for the NO persuade a brash young advertising executive, Rene Saavedra, to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free.

Thank you to Coach (Kurt) Tippmann and the (football) coaching staff at Snider High School! We have made such a positive impact on our sons, and we are grateful for all the hours and hard work you put into our sons! You are each so wonderful, and we appreciate you!
I would like to tip my hat to the police officer who took the time to stop at my house on a recent Sunday morning (1:30 a.m.). Yes, I was afraid to open the door because any news from a police officer at that time is not good. He told me my garage door was open. We could have had lots of things stolen if the wrong person would have seen it before he stopped and informed us. Again, a big thank you to him because I don't think our officers get enough thank yous in their line of duty.
My great thanks to Turner of (WBYR) 98.9-FM, Fort Wayne's Rock Station! At about 6 p.m. Jan. 9, my tire suddenly went flat near Coldwater Road, and I was standing in chilly air with hope for a warm-hearted person to rescue me, when this young gentleman, who I later know is called Turner, came to the intersection. He immediately got out of his car to offer help. Though he was not familiar with my car, he was cold with what he was wearing and weak after just donating some blood, he studied the manual and managed to changed the tire for me. I so appreciate his high morale to help a stranger with great enthusiasm.
Tip your hat to someone. Email email@example.com or send by mail to: Tip of the Hat, The News-Sentinel, 600 W. Main St., Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

text: Founded by the architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969) in 1919, the Bauhaus was a utopian haven for avant-garde artists during the period of radical change and tenuous peace in Germany after World War I. A war veteran, Gropius found his battered country badly in need of rejuvenation and believed that the collective of Bauhaus artists could play an important role in that process. Based on the concept of the medieval cooperative of artists and craftsmen combining their talents to build the great Gothic cathedrals, the progressive school of art and design sought to bring together the fine and applied arts, human ingenuity, and modern technology in order to help construct a new rational, egalitarian, and ordered society. read more at this excellent overview from the MET as well as related articles on photography from the same period

Fake is never cute. Even Snooki wouldn't carry those Canal Street "Prado" bags we spotted in front of us at the JFK taxi line. But, when it comes to fur, there's a plausible reason not to sport the real thing. Of course, this season, it's all about the furry stuff, which poses quite the chic conundrum for animal lovers, vegans, and those of us who just don't want to add another digit to our clothing bill. Luckily, we rounded up some faux-fur fashion pieces that are just as luxe as the real thing. Whether it's trim on a hood or a full-on vest, we've got 13 alternatives to mink, rabbit, and other woodland creatures that won't have PETA on your tail (bad pun intended).

Vitra got its start in the 1950s manufacturing work by the Eameses and George Nelson. These days, the Swiss furniture company is an authoritative resource for world-class design. This Panton Junior chair is based on the same proportions and material as Verner Panton's legendary Panton Chair, but is about a quarter smaller. The designer considered making a child-sized version in the '60s, but production issues made it impossible to manufacture. Thanks to advances in plastic technology, Vitra released this sleek, pint-sized seat in 2006.
