Re: Auto Loan Approvals![ Edited ]
06-08-2008 10:49 AM - edited 06-08-2008 11:00 AM
Hey Schoolbuskid,
I was totally surprised that I got approved and I actually didn't believe the finance guy so I made him print me off something showing that I was approved.
Right now mazda is having special financing and rebates on a lot of their vehicles. I think the financing rates are 2.9 or 3.9 for tier 0-2 credit. On the approval I saw it said I was a tier 3 credit. Here are the comments the approval officer wrote to the dealer finance guy "Paul, good dti/pti, shorter term, cash down. Trading open auto, slightly higher payment. Thanks for the business. LVL 3 Fin, slightly higher payments. Thanks for the business LVL3 60x389x20660. Call if figs change. Stipulations BUR Score 620-659. POI/4refers, 2k cc"
I didn't trust the dealer so like I said I made them print me off a copy of the approval. They use a company called RouteOne (routeone.com) which is an electronic system that allows dealers to get approvals within minutes. They printed me off the approval page from RouteOne that showed the Mazda American Credit Decision Details: Says I was approvaed for $20,6660, 60 months at 4.9%, $2k down payment and my payments are $389. I also got a $500 mazda 3 rebate. Check out their website and look for incentives in your area and you'll see the interest rates and rebates they're offering in your area.
I think they used an auto enhanced score because the salesman told me he saw my score and it was a 630 something. When I checked equifax it was 614. If it helps, my income is $35k a year base but I make around $40k after bonuses and overtime. I have a credit history that is about 8 years long because of student loans. I have a lot of student loans but they are all current, never been late. I have 3 open, current, never been late credit cards. Had two lines of credit with a furniture store that I just paid in full. I do have some collections on my credit but they aren't new collections.
Car dealerships are having a rough time right now so the in house finance companies are probably a little bit more lenient than they normally would be. When the car salesman told me about the financing and that I could probably get the 4.9% I told him he was crazy. Apparently he wasn't lol. I was denied by capital one, buy a local credit union, and my e-loan/roadloans.com. So I was totally discouraged when I went into the dealer and not expecting a good rate.
I'm picking the car up on Friday. Didn't pick it up on Friday when I bought it because I didn't have my down payment. Going to give them the $2K on friday and will take delivery then.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Getting Rid of Spam
If you regularly receive a high volume of mail (e.g., you subscribe to several mailing lists) or are the target of unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE), mail filtering may have crossed your mind. procmail is a flexible tool that allows you to process incoming e-mail and perform user-definable actions, such as filtering, prioritizing or informing you of new mail. procmail is part of a larger toolset that also includes formail, a program that can handle tasks such as recognizing duplicate messages, digest bursting, header extraction/addition and the generation of auto-replies.
If you do not have procmail on your system already, you can pick up the latest copy at ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz. The current version as of this writing is 3.11pre7. (Don't let the "pre" scare you; this version is very stable.) The package compiles out-of-the-box for Linux, but you may want to change a few compilation parameters (like installing into /usr/local instead of /usr). Read the INSTALL file included in the archive to get the complete installation process.
Once you have compiled and installed procmail, you can start using it. Since it is designed to process incoming mail, you need to modify your ~/.forward file (or create one if you do not have one) to include the following line that will automatically invoke procmail:
"|IFS=' '&&/usr/local/bin/procmail -f-||exit 75 #
Include all quotes and do change YOUR_LOGIN_NAME. The reason for doing this is described in the FAQ that is bundled with the archive. Next, you will need to create a recipe file that procmail will use to filter your mail.
When executed, one of the things procmail does is look for a file called .procmailrc in your home directory. This file holds all of the commands, called recipes, that tell procmail what to do with the incoming mail. A recipe has three parts: the start (:0, followed by optional flags and local lockfile), the optional conditions and the action to be taken if the conditions evaluate out to true. Each part of a recipe is on a separate line.
The flags tell procmail which part of the message to look at (headers, body or both) and whether the recipe is a delivering (terminating) or non-delivering recipe. The local lockfile ensures that concurrently running procmail processes do not interfere with each other when writing out to a mailbox and should be used only for delivering recipes. The optional conditions start with an * (asterisk). There can be more than one condition or no conditions as you feel necessary. Everything proceeding the * is passed to an internal regular expression (regex) engine, which is compatible with egrep. All conditions are logically ANDed together. If you choose to have no conditions, procmail defaults to a true result (which is what you would expect). The action line tells procmail what action to take if the all the conditions match. The action line can start with a ! (to forward the message), a | (to pass the message to a program), or a { (to start a nested block). Anything else is taken to be a mailbox name.
Here is an example of a recipe that will filter all mail coming from the Whitehouse into a mailbox of the same name:
:0: * ^From: .*whitehouse\.gov whitehouse
Let's analyze this one line at a time. The first line tells procmail that we have started a recipe (:0) and that we want procmail to determine the local lockfile (the second :). The next line is the condition that procmail must match in order for this recipe to be true. By default, procmail scans only the headers, which is what we want. The last line is the action, which tells procmail to write the message to a file called whitehouse.
For contrast, here is a non-delivering recipe:
:0 f * ^X-Face: | formail "I X-Face"
This one uses formail to strip out an unwanted X-Face header. Notice the lack of a local lockfile. Since this is a filter, a lockfile is unnecessary. procmail will still work if you place one there, but it will complain.
At the beginning of this article, I mentioned that procmail is useful to filter unwanted mail. UBE (or spam as it is more commonly known) has become an annoying trend and a nuisance. The volume of spam is believed to have increased substantially on Usenet, where people excessively post the same message to various newsgroups. Usenet spam is perceived to be "cancellable", meaning a posted message can be deleted by the moderator before being read by too many people. To get around this type of cancellation, someone got the idea to send the message to you directly rather than posting it to Usenet where it might be deleted before you read it. Hence, UBE started to infiltrate users' in-boxes. Pioneers of this form of marketing quickly found out that many users disliked spam in any form, and often found their own mailboxes full of flames. They started to obscure headers to make it hard to find out where the message really came from.
Why is spam considered the bane of the Internet at large? Unlike the junk mail you receive in your postal box at home, spammers rarely pay as much to send the spam as the recipient does to receive it. The fact that they pay less than you is called "cost-shifting". Another form of this shifting is the use of third-party computer resources by the spammer for sending their bulk e-mail without permission. By doing so, the spammer is costing that innocent company both time and money spent to clean up after the spammer. Another tactic widely used is the munging of the headers in such a way that uneducated recipients may waste the time of innocent third parties who had nothing to do with the spam in the first place. This type of deceitfulness can also be considered cost-shifting and has been ruled illegal in the U.S. Courts.
Cost-shifting is not the only argument against spam. There is no single removal point as each spammer generally runs their own list. To that end, they are not required to honor a removal list. As more and more people send spam, you will never be able to remove your address from every single list. Why should you have to if you didn't ask for it in the first place? Finally, a great deal of the spam is or could be considered illegal, such as pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing schemes and lotteries.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
GEN What are the gaps in cellular imaging reagents, and are label-free methods making an impact?
Evans: There is still a lot of room for improvement in the live-cell area. There are companies that are engineering cell lines with reporters or markers of interest that are expressed stably, so you don't have to add antibodies or live-cell dyes, which helps a lot, as long as the cell line has been validated.
There is definitely room for improvement in the performance and variety of available live cell dyes. With image analysis, there's some catching up to do to deal with that multiplicity of labels. So it's sort of a chicken-and-egg situation where the multispectral aspects of the reagents haven't been pushed because the analysis capability hasn't been there to cope with it.
The live-cell dyes or the cells that are engineered with fluorescent proteins are the biggest gap that I see. There's also some development of multifunctional reporters for not just protein species, but also forces, things that will actually report traction by the cell and look at interactions between cells, with a matrix or with their neighbors, and actually have a readout. There are also calcium sensors, of course, which are the most prevalent nonprotein analyses that have been used primarily in industry.
von Leoprechting: Live-cell imaging will be mainly driven by label-free approaches and innovations in FRET-type reagents for live-cell imaging. The big problem with fluorescent probes is the phototoxicity over longer periods of exposure. This is where, from the reagent development side, new dyes that have higher quantum yields and improved linkers are of interest. For the same reason, spinning disk confocal systems already allow you to minimize the toxic impact of the light energy the cell is exposed to. In HCS our observation is that for live-cell assays label-free techniques like texture analysis as well as 3-D/4-D features become more important.

Moroccan and European judicial experts engaged in discussion during the study tour in Holland
March 2008
The ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) continued its work to build the institutional capacity of the Moroccan judges' association, the Hassania, through a four-day study tour in The Hague and Leiden in the Netherlands on January 21-24, 2008.
The goal of the tour was to strengthen the Hassania's partnerships with other judges' associations in order to improve the association's organization and role in promoting judicial reform. Five senior judges and prosecutors of the Hassania Board met with prominent leaders of one of Europe's most effective judicial associations, the Dutch judges' association (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Rechtspraak), and discussed judicial independence, court management, judicial conduct, and management of judicial associations. In addition, Hassania members had the opportunity to meet with members of the Dutch Public Prosecution, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Justice.
The Moroccan delegates considered the study tour to be a success; not only did the Hassania share and learn important information about safeguarding judicial independence, but the Hassania was able to establish a more permanent link to the Dutch association in order to gain further technical assistance. The Hassania Board has already prepared a draft memorandum of understanding citing judicial and legal activities largely inspired from the discussion held in Holland, and Board members hope to formalize the MOU in the upcoming months.

Skip to comments.Trust Hillary? Only Pre-Signed Copies at Living History 'Book Signing' Events
Posted on 06/07/2003 11:08:26 AM PDT by kristinn
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton ('Rat-NY) is embarking on a summer-long book signing tour across the country to promote her memoirs, Living History, the product of her $8 million deal with publisher Simon & Schuster.
Fans expecting to witness the former First Lady personally autographing copies of her book will instead be given editions with an additional pre-signed page inserted in the book.
Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena, California, where Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to make her only appearance for the book in southern California on June 29, states on their Website that they have been assured that the author is personally signing the inserts. A Vroman's employee said that the publisher has informed the store that Mrs. Clinton is having difficulty keeping up with the expected demand for autographed books.
Another store, Trover Books in Washington, D.C., where Mrs. Clinton will appear on June 12, has informed the public that for security reasons, no photography will be allowed at her 'book signing'.
Vroman's has not been informed yet whether photography will be allowed at their store. Their Website states that people attending Mrs. Clinton's 'book signing' will be given a voucher for each autographed book purchased. They will "get to say hello and shake hands with the Senator"--an arrangement more akin to a receiving line than a traditional book signing. The vouchers will be exchanged for the autographed books afterward.
Authors much more accomplished in life than the freshman Senator, such as Lady Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister who helped win the Cold War, and retired Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, who led American forces to victory in the Gulf War, have labored to sign books in person without photography restrictions at appearances to promote their respective books.
Given Mrs. Clinton reputation of dishonesty in public matters, one wonders if 'ghost signers' will be employed to autograph Living History like ghost writers were used to write the book itself.
So I guess Hitlerly won't be signing, only the "ghost writers".
Oh, how I would love to get in line to NOT shake her hand and to tell her where to cram her lying-ass book.
They should just let the ghost writers sign Hillarys' name in the books.
It'd be a hell of a lot more genuine that way.
I guess signing books is beneath "Empress Hillary"
Given Mrs. Clinton reputation of dishonesty in public matters, one wonders if 'ghost signers' will be employed to autograph Living History like ghost writers were used to write the book itself.
I bet it's going to be "ghost signers".
...anything written by Shillary,(like the devils' own handwriting) can't be copied...Her cardinal rule.
...a sure sign of a weak pol...no confidence in herself, no true 'smarts', only public posturing...when in public "the usual DNC supects surround" her, choking off any unexpected questions, that may upset her carefully staged appearance...in short "all preception, no substance"...just like BUBBA.... :|
Really? I've been to two book signings (Tom Clancy near the Sub Base in Ct- a total madhouse; and Don and Fred Imus at Mohegan Sun Casino)and both times the authors were writing so frantically that I felt like I was intruding to offer a personal comment.
We did take a couple of pictures of Tom Clancy- and then promptly lost the film :(
Seems to me shaking hands in a receiving line is much more personal. Odd that Hillary! would do that.
Well, it's about time.This is less than a mile from where I live. I would like to meet up w/ other Los Angeles FReepers and make this happen. Since this will be my first FReep,(I did get to make a few comments to Maxine Waters sitting in First Class on a plane to Seattle before I joined F.R. several years ago btw. LOL) I'd like to make some serious signage and meet up w/ you. Anyone locally please feel free to FReepmail me so we can go forward.Oh man,in my hometown.Really LOL!
Yep! Great after FReep thread! Hehehe..I loved it. And think of the possibilities for future FReeps. Imagine, Baghdad Bob vouching for the credibility of Hillary's book or the RAT presidential nominee.
Baghdad Bob Crashes Howell Raines Revival Meeting NYT FREEP After Action Report
Eric Shawn on Fox just did a report and they had a clip of hrc arriving at the first bookstore on her tour and making a few comments. They explained how 250 people received wristbands marking them as getting books and Shawn said they would move through a line to have her sign them. They did not show her doing it, though.
He also spoke with a mother and son who had purchased the book and he had them display the signed page. Eric Shawn did ask the mother if she believes what's in the book and the woman replied "I choose to".
I didn't have time to do this one today-- but if you have a Freeper Hillary, you could have a few people with "Zone of Privacy" signs enforcing your perimeter.
Darn thing only has 500 sheets, buy it on sale :-)
The line was not nearly as impressive as it looked on TV. At one point we saw part of the line in motion and thought they were letting the customers in. Then I noticed that the people entering the bookstore all had cameras, microphones, and notepads with them. Heehee...
By the time the press finished filing in, the line was HALF the size it had been previously. I got pictures; hopefully they'll be posted.
This is a Big Media Event, but as I was just telling someone else, Deter Jeter had a MUCH longer line (at the B & N near me) when his book came out a few years back...
What are they afraid of? Having the camera(s) break and the photographer "fans" turning into stone like Colin Creevy did when he saw the basilisk in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"?!

Internet Retailer Proudly Introduces the 2013 Social Media 300
Your Indispensable Guide to the E-Retailers Charting New Frontiers in Social Commerce
The Brand-New 2013 Social Media 300 from Internet Retailer Ranks the Leading Online Retailers by Percentage of 2012 Traffic Derived from Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest
"Man is by nature a social animal," quipped Aristotle in his Politics, and that astute observation has given rise, over 2.5 millennia later, to the combustive growth of social media marketing and social commerce. Any retail business with a web presence that isn't using social media in its marketing strategy is losing out on the chance to cultivate brand ambassadors and capture conversion rates from social network-derived site visits.
But in many ways, the world of social commerce is something of a Wild West, with few universal marketing best practices and a great deal of guesswork involved on what it takes to achieve a return on investment in social platforms. Many retailers think it's sufficient to ask their site's visitors to "Like" them on Facebook and that's the end of it—then they wonder why they see little year-over-year growth.
Successful retailers are ones that can leverage their social media presence to drive retail sales and enhance the customer experience with meaningful content and connectivity. So who are the leading pioneers in the quest to stake claims in this ever-growing swath of e-retailing territory—the retailers who are doing it right? Only Internet Retailer delivers the first publication of its kind with the debut of the 2013 Social Media 300, the inaugural resource that comprehensively ranks and analyzes 300 e-retailers' presences on the major social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest) based on percentage of site traffic from those social media channels.
In what will surely be the definitive resource on social commerce, the 208-page 2013 Internet Retailer Social Media 300 delivers a wealth of data, including these key elements:

You have searched for: imagination
- Fiction authors imagine Donald Trump presidency
NEW YORK: Imagine it's 2017 and Donald Trump is president. He's been informed by national security adviser Sean Hannity that Russia has launched a nuclear missile to Canada and war may be unavoidable.Only a fellow celebrity can make it right _ at least if you ask Richard Hine, author of the novella "Kim Kardashian Saves the World (After President Trump Nearly Ends It).""I've taken the idea of how ridiculous it would be to put a reality TV star in the realm of the presidency, and how you need a bigger TV reality star to step in," explains Hine, whose book is among a wave of fiction about the presumptive Republican nominee.If Trump's political rise is proof that reality can outwit the most inventive minds, then some are trying to win back the narrative by jumping into the future. Thanks to the speed of digital technology, several authors have managed to complete and release Trump fiction in time for next week's GOP convention, with titles including "Operation Golden Mane: The Donald Trump Incident," "Donald Trump Builds a Wall: A Funny Story" and "Trumpocalypse Now: A Horror Satire."Last month, The New York Times published a short story by acclaimed fiction writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, whose "The Arrangements" views the campaign from the perspective of Trump's wife, Melania."She sagged suddenly with terror, imagining what would happen if Donald actually won," Adichie writes. "Everything would change. Her contentment would crack into pieces. The relentless intrusions into their lives; those horrible media people who never gave Donald any credit would get even worse."Andrew Shaffer is another Trump fiction author, a pro at parodies from "Fifty Shames of Earl Grey" or "How to Survive a Sharknado and Other Unnatural Disasters." Shaffer's "The Day of the Donald" is set in 2018, with a wall along the Mexican border under construction and a would-be Trump biographer mysteriously dead. Shaffer bills his story "A completely untrue, utterly unauthorized but not thoroughly impossible thriller.""Here's a guy who's a ready-made Bond villain _ he's rich, he's eccentric, he's always got a beautiful woman on his arm (whether it's his wife or daughter)," Shaffer says. "Plus, look at that hair. You can just imagine him walking into a room where James Bond is tied up and then cackling maniacally."The books aim for laughs, but the authors say they want to address serious issues. Hine supposes in his novel that a Trump victory was made possible by voting restrictions that kept students, minorities and other presumed Democratic voters from the polls. He also critiques how candidates use the media."It's so easy to make fun of Trump's bombastic, arrogant and narcissistic style, pointing out the flaws in his statements and fact-free approach to his tweets," says Hine, whose Twitter parody (at)RealDonalDrumpf has more than 40,000 followers. "So I wanted to write something that comes out of a slightly different angle. I wanted to say something about celebrities and social media and how Trump has used social media and traditional media."Paul Bellow, the pseudonymous author of "Trump Drumpf: A Political Satire Novel," said his book arose from conversations with friends about the election. The story takes us to 2023, when the country is being run by President Trump and Vice President Facebook and Detroit is in the arms of China."I joked about writing both a pro-Trump and anti-Trump book and profiting from both sides in true capitalist style," he told The Associated Press. "However, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to write a satire knocking not only Trump but also the media and some of the other current problems in America _ i.e. education, private prisons, etc.""Buried under the candy-coated shell of this book, I've tried to shine light on a few HUGE problems that America will be facing in the near future."

Product Description
Martin's first novel is a clever and entertainaing blend of history, family, saga, and mystery. Its focus is on a magnificent gold and silver tea set that, made by Paul Revere and presented to George Washington by the merchants of Boston, becomes a key factor in the destinies of a prosperous Boston family, the Pratts, for 250 years. The set is stolen from the White House in 1814 by Horace Pratt in revege for governmet trade restrictions, and buried in the mud of the Back Bay. Later that part of the bay is landfilled, and the set's whereabouts become a mystery, solvable only by someone who can decipher certain clues in a Pratt diary. Shuttling between past and present, the narative detailsthe attempts of generations of pPRatts, and others, to retrieve the treasure, and encompasses a while string of violent deeds, including suiccide and murder. Matters reach an exciting though tragic climax in the1970s when twogroups opf serachers find the sert almost simultaneously.―Publisher's Weekly
Don't be fooled by the title: this mystery/adventure is no Beacon Hill tea party but a Southie-style rouser starring several generations of Yankee tycoons - the crafty Pratts - and their immigrant descended allies and enemies. The first American Pratt is Boston merchant Horace, who, disapproving of President Madison's trade policies in 1814, decides to fence a magnificent treasure, "The Golden Eagle Tea Set" - 31 pieces of flawless silver created by Paul Revere and presented to the White House in perpetuity by Washington. But somewhere, amid the British invasion chaos, the tea set goes astray - on a wild sea journey to a bizarre grave where it will stay until the 20th century. So it's up to present-day history grad student Peter Fallon and Evangeline Carrington, a Pratt descendant, to put together the Pratt family secrets and get to the tea set before it's found by various deadly Bad Guys - including a Pratt-gone-to-seed and a powerful local bully-boy planning to take over the Pratt industrial empire. Fallon and Evangeline, on the run a good deal of the time, work with some classy clues to the Tea Set's location: there are verses from Milton's Paradise Lost, for example, scattered far and wide - one discovered in the belongings of a west coast call girl (who's murdered) , another on a church altar chalice. And the Tale of the Tea Set flips back and forth neatly between the centuries, grisly with Set-linked drownings and murders, spiced with some old scandals. Martin has carefully researched the topography of old Boston and tidily balances his inventive plot with narrow escapes and stopwatch action, including a subway tunnel dig and shootout. Rather gory, very farfetched treasure-hunt fun and mayhem - a bracing brew for long cold nights.―Kirkus
"A rip-roaring page turner. A perfect read!"―Boston Globe --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

So I'm reading a story about the NFL draft, which is an upset in itself -- not the reading part, but the NFL draft part, since most everything written about the NFL draft is so overheated and insider-y that you need an advanced degree in Lack of Perspective to even begin to care.
But this story was different, even if it was presented as more of the same. It was in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and it was devoted to the NFL's undying quest to unearth even the smallest and most insignificant personality flaws in its prospective players.
Ben Liebenberg/NFL Photos/Getty Images
We can only imagine what the Dolphins had in store for Chris Long when they talked to him.
But get this: The lead-in was a quaint little anecdote about Tennessee linebacker Jerrod Mayo and his experience in an interview with one NFL team. In a face-to-face interview, Mayo was asked, "When was the last time you cheated on your girlfriend?"
This is viewed, of course, as evaluation. It's seen as an example of how NFL teams look for any little edge that might help them make the wise and economically prudent decision on draft day.
There's no end to the Wonderlics and interviews and body-fat percentages and televised vertical jumps. And now they feel they can ask a young man questions they have no business asking?
How about we ask a different question: What the hell are you doing asking that question?
Let's set aside for a moment the hypocrisy of the whole evaluation process. The fact is, sociopaths have always fared pretty well in the NFL, so you never know whether the answer they want is the one that is socially acceptable.
The story, typically, doesn't raise any questions about privacy, or how much a potential employer has a right to know about a potential employee. It doesn't address the issue of whether a prospective employee should feel compelled to answer questions that have absolutely no bearing on the job being offered.
It doesn't address whether those questions are even legal under fair hiring practices. If the team that asked Mayo that question doesn't draft (hire) him, does he have a discrimination case if he can prove it's related to his answer to that question?
Instead, Mayo's story is used as a setup to show that despite all these supposedly airtight safeguards, things don't always go as planned. Maybe teams can acquire too much information, or outthink themselves, or find some other way to pick the absolute wrong guy at the absolute wrong time.
Which means, amazingly, that teams can find out whether someone cheated on his girlfriend a week ago last Friday and still -- still? -- make a horrible draft mistake. Not only horrible, but horribly expensive to the entire franchise.
You know as well as I do, though, that if they'd only asked Ryan Leaf the last time he stole the change off his grandma's dresser, all would have been right with the world.
I'm not faulting the guy who wrote the story, because we've all become immune to such issues. The NFL is the monolith, the all-knowing, all-consuming omnivore. It must be obeyed, since every young man who can run fast and hit hard obviously would do anything to have the privilege of donning one of its uniforms.
Answering a fatuous question is the least of his worries.
NFL teams can ask inappropriate questions -- questions no human-resources department in any self-respecting bank, department store or media company would ever approve -- because it's dealing with young men who have no viable options.
I mean, does Jerrod Mayo drop from the second round to the fifth round if he answers that he doesn't even have a girlfriend on whom to cheat? And how does he prove that's the reason he dropped?
Oh, I can hear you now:
If they don't want to play, they don't have to.
These guys are in line to make millions of dollars and they should answer any damned question the teams want to ask.
I'd answer whatever question they could think of if they were going to let me play in the NFL.
That's exactly why they feel they can ask those questions, because the players are hostage to the teams' whims and the public is so brainwashed it doesn't even see it.
There's got to be some dignity involved here, on both sides of the table.
For the record, Mayo said he'd never cheated on his girlfriend.
And that's too bad.
(Not the cheating part, but the answer itself.)
That's good for Mayo -- and, presumably, his girlfriend -- but I wouldn't draft him.
I'd draft the guy who had enough independence of thought and self-respect to tell the interviewer to go to hell.

So they upload content to memebase or whatever. Then they delete their original copy and save the one with the banner or watermark. Finally they come here to Funnyjunk to upload their content again, but now with a watermark from a different site?

For and Against Method: Including Lakatos' Lectures on Scientific Method and the Lakatos-Feyerabend Correspondence (Hardback)Imre Lakatos, Paul K. Feyerbend, Paul K. Feyerabend, Matteo Motterlini
Hardback Published: 27/10/1999
- Can be ordered from our supplier
The work that helped to determine Paul Feyerabend's fame and notoriety, "Against Method," stemmed from Imre Lakatos's challenge: "In 1970 Imre cornered me at a party. "Paul", he said, "you have such strange ideas. Why don't you write them down? I shall write a reply, we publish the whole thing and I promise you - we shall have a lot of fun." Although Lakatos died before he could write his reply, this text reconstructs his original counter-arguments from lectures and correspondence previously unpublished in English, allowing us to enjoy the "fun" two of this century's most eminent philosophers had, matching their wits and ideas on the subject of the scientific method. The text opens with an imaginary dialogue between Lakatos and Feyerabend, which Matteo Motterlini has constructed, based on their published works, to synthesize their positions and arguments. Part one presents the transcripts of the last lectures on method that Lakatos delivered. Part two, Feyerabend's response, consists of a previously published essay on anarchism, which began the attack on Lakatos's position that Feyerabend later continued in "Against Method." The third and longest section consists of the correspondence Lakatos and Feyerabend exchanged on method and many other issues and ideas, as well as the events of their daily lives, between 1968 and Lakatos's death in 1974.

Casa Verde Retreat is a 1400 square foot, 2 bedroom, residential home located in the beautiful Village of Oak Creek in Sedona. The street location is peaceful and friendly neighbors to greet you. The nearly 1/3 acre property includes a beautifully landscaped backyard perfect for peaceful meditation, reading, relaxing or just a nice backyard BBQ. Plenty of cool shade in the summer.
There is a large, spacious living room with an open view of the large mulberry tree in the upper patio portion of the back yard and a peak-a-boo view of Bell Rock. The dining area includes a high back table with seating for 6. The king-size master bedroom includes a Southwest walk-in shower and walk-in closet. The guest bedroom includes a high-rise queen bed with adjoining walk-in closet. Kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking amenities you'll need including Sola-Tube ambient lighting over a breakfast nook. Garage and laundry conveniences included. Wireless internet, satellite TV, mini-office armoire including laser printer. Unlimited Netflix and YouTube viewing on high definition TV.
Casa Verde is located just minutes from shopping, golfing, mountain bike riding and easy, leisurely hiking. Plenty of outlet shopping and a short drive to down town tourist attractions.
Plenty of driveway parking and free Red-Rock Adventure Pass for your vehicle. Casa Verde is located at the beginning of the famous highway 179 that winds its way into the spectacular Red Rock forest.
We purchased this home in 2010 as both a vacation home and an important asset to our lives. We come to the Village about 3 times a year to enjoy our home and make sure it is always in perfect condition for our guests. We are both Engineering professionals living in Orange County California and we love Arizona hospitality so very much!
Maggie Cunningham purchased this house in 2010
We wanted a real home. Not a resort condo or an expensive mansion. Just a down-to-earth residential property with character. We were interested only in the 'VOC' as it is the more peaceful side of Sedona. Our neighbors are awesome and we always have so much fun.
Our property has a very unique backyard landscape that was originally a custom designed by previous owners. We turned it into a desert theme adding stone and pebble accents. The very large, 70 year old mulberry tree offers lots of shading during summer. The birch trees on our side property are stunning yellow in the Autumn. Several months of the year, the monsoon weather in the afternoons cool the property and really bring out the spiritual, fresh scented side of Arizona.
We enjoyed four days of relaxation together. I spent the mornings in meetings while my wife relaxed by the morning fire in the freestanding fireplace. We spent the afternoons riding the various trails on our side by side. The garage was nice to be able to park the side by side while not in use. The owners are very nice, accommodating and available in case there's a need. Satellite TV and Netflix also a plus. Small DVD selection (that we added to) also. We would definitely come back to this house next trip up to the Sedona area.
Our family of four stayed at Casa Verde for four days in July/August and absolutely loved everything about the accommodations and Sedona! The location is ideal for access to wonderful hikes and town exploration. We enjoyed walking in the morning in the Oak Creek neighborhood -- pristine, quiet, and amazing views all around! The home is equipped with all you need to enjoy your stay and the magic that is Sedona! Owner made the entire reservation process a no-hassle experience. Don't hesitate, book this property before someone else does!!
My husband and I stayed here for 7 weeks. All is as advertised. Kitchen is nicely equipped. Beds are comfortable. Yard is beautiful, Friendly neighbors. Walking distance to Post Office, IGA, Bell Rock, and several bars/restaurants. Safe neighborhood. Owner was a pleasure to work with.
This was a very nice home with all the comforts one would expect. The bed was very comfortable, as was the rest of the property. The backyard was beautiful and all the trees shaded the yard from the heat very well. I would definitely stay here again.
Great neighborhood and location in general. Backyard is awesome. Loved the big table.
What would keep us from coming back was the mattress in the master (and also other room). It was too soft. It gave me a backache and my husband kept rolling to the middle.
The house and yard were beautiful and exactly like the pictures. We felt at home right away. The location was great and the house had everything you would need to have a really nice time. Hope to be back again !!
Very short walk to restaurants, hiking trails, bike rentals, golf and outlet shopping. Famous highway 179 scenic drive starts just1/2 mile away. Championship golf course with reasonable green fees. Outlet shopping less than 1 mile away.
5 miles from Downtown West Sedona tourist area. 6 miles from airport attractions.
Local casino about 20 minutes away via highway 17.
About 1 hour to winter sports (skiing/snow boarding) in Flagstaff.
About 2 hours to Grand Canyon.

INCREASED awareness and understanding of the relationships between the individual components of the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system and its role in benign essential hypertension have revolutionized the diagnosis and clinical management of hypertension. Polite but serious controversy continues between the proponents of the importance of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in the classification of the various types of benign essential hypertension and those who see limited application of the system in clinical practice. Differences in methods used, failure to distinguish between plasma renin activity (PRA) vs renin concentration, and failure to take into consideration the clinical status of the patient when testing is performed are some reasons for varying conclusions by clinicians in their attempts to classify hypertension into low-, normal-, and high-renin states. Nevertheless, once the pitfalls are identified and compensated for, accurate measurement of PRA—and classification of hypertension into low- and high-renin states—may be of considerable value in the diagnosis, prognosis, and

It is okay when you first arrive to the city. After awhile, it gets repetitive.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's the same as any other town with fast food places.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's a small town and there a lot of local restaurants hiding between the fast food chains. There are even vegan places. There's an excellent coffehouse downtown that I find way better than Starbucks. It's a good place to study too. Amazing sushi place downtown and then there's McDonalds, Cookout, Sonic, DQ, and Panera.

Off-campus dining in the local area is very much affordable. The quality of the food is acceptable. While some fast food restaurants could provide better customer service, the fine dining restaurants are quite welcoming. Being that restaurants are within a five-mile radius of the school, this makes it very convenient for students if they need to grab a bite to eat. The restaurants that stay open 24 hours are also a plus to students because coming back from a party will surely spark hunger pains.
Though the food in Elizabeth City may be affordable, students are still not capable of continuously eating at these establishments. However, Elizabeth City keeps opening new restaurants, which makes it hard for students not to dine out. Overall, the food in the local area is very convenient for college students, and the people share kindness with many of the students. While the campus is expanding with different construction jobs, so is the city around the University.

Lara Lington has always had an overactive imagination, but suddenly that imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal professional twenty-something young women don t get visited by ghosts. Or do they?
When the spirit of Lara's great-aunt Sadie a feisty, demanding girl with firm ideas about fashion, love, and the right way to dance mysteriously appears, she has one last request: Lara must find a missing necklace that had been in Sadie's possession for more than seventy-five years, and Sadie cannot rest without it. Lara, on the other hand, has a number of ongoing distractions. Her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa, her start-up company is floundering, and she's just been dumped by the perfect man.
Sadie, however, could care less.
Lara and Sadie make a hilarious sparring duo, and at first it seems as though they have nothing in common.
