|virgin mobile sucks (1:05am est tue feb 15 2005)
my phone won't get a singnal, 13 mos after i bought it, of course it had a 12 month warranty. virgin mobile refuses to do anything to help me out. fu*k them. – by dis-fu*king-gruntled
|virgin mobile.. (10:19am est mon feb 28 2005)
virgin mobile is cool but at the same time they are annoying little bitches. the phones come with wap (wireless phone internet). when virgin first started you could go to any website. but now they have restricted it so you can only go to their queer little website. this sucks! they also make you pay $2.50 for ringtones! – by martin
|virgin mobile is a scam (2:50pm est wed mar 30 2005)
i just got my phone this chrismas it was a gift i was running out of minutes so qucik and i was wondering why i dont really u my phone alot my conversations last between 30sec. and 4 minutes i've made 6 call the same lenth and im down to 2 f'ing bucks and 50 cents u see virgin mobile charges 25 sent a minute for the first tem minutes then it ten cent after that u think it a bargin but its not unlike other prepaid phone were u buy you minutes upstriaght were u would get alot more it not like that with virgin on other prepaid phones u can by a minute card were u know how much time u have no such luck with virign its a scam because u could be paying 40 bucks a month hell thats a cell phone bill or a good prepaid phone card with 2,220 minute compared to virgin you would probly in all get 30 mabye mell minutes out of it do the math – by vm customer

|virgin mobile (3:43am est thu mar 31 2005)
try t-mobile pre-paid instead, their just ten cents a minute if you buy their $1oo dollar pre-paid card which lasts one year before it expires. in addition you could call anywhere in the world with their pre-paid plans plus they have great costumer service!

|avoid virgin mobile (5:03am est fri apr 15 2005)
they ran an update on my phone, and i lost the ability to text message. i call up customer support and they say, "oh you need to buy a new phone, yours is out of warranty", called them again saying 'but you updated my phone', same deal.
nice one, break the customers phone with an 'update' just after it's out of warranty, make them buy a new phone.
stay away, far away. – by fred
|these childern are obviously confused.. (4:13am est wed jun 15 2005)
yes i work for vm.usa. i have read all of these stupid and confused comments and the vm is a scam comment is the best for laughts , i can definitely understand why this person would be confused seeing that he or she can hardly spell let alone read. most americans dont read the terms and conditions or even the packaging on the box before they buy the phones , clearly stating that the phone has a 12 month warrantee and runs off of the sprint spc network which obvously does not have service everywhere in the united states and also how the pricing works so you know your not getting ripped off. seriously if we were really ripping customer's off like that how long do you think we would stay a business? – by – vmu employee.
|only for low use customers, (11:10pm est thu jun 23 2005)
it great if you use less than 50 or so minutes per month, but if your using 200-300 minutes or so, you're definately better off with a plan. they are exclusively pay-as -you-go, and do not offer plans.
as far as i know, all cellphone comanies offer pay-as-you-go, so vm is not the pnly option. – by pauly
|pauly (5:25pm est fri jun 24 2005)
pauly is definitely wrong because recently vm has come out with a month2month service for high usage customers – from what ive heard minutes as low as 2 cents on nights and weekends for only 29.99 a month. . – by josh
|it still sucks (12:39pm est tue jul 05 2005)
i bought a vm phone, i liked it for a while until i started loosing money on the phone, then i finally did the math and found out i'm getting about 80 minutes after blowing 20 dollars at walmart, when i can get unlimited minutes and 10 cent/minute long distance from the local wireless for 30 dollars/month, not to mention the phone does not get serivce all the time, i can be 500 feet from a cell tower and have no serivce with my plan phone getting 6 bars… in response to "vmy employee" any employee of any major company is "programmed" to defend their company, and you know vm is ripping off people, and you all stay in business because you prey off the little people who do not know how it all works. – by jim

|agreed–vm is ripping people off (9:54am est sun jul 24 2005)
there are tons of companies that rip people off and i can name and go into detail of a few that did just that to my family and friends such as capital one, sprint, and virgin mobile. the ability to text is taken off because we have to buy a new phone after the 12 month warranty. it should be applicable to every phone, old or new. also, i do not like the way you have to top up every 90 days with at least $20 or else you lose all the minutes you already paid for. that is definitely a wrong business tactic and i have stopped using vm due to these inconveniences and rip offs from our hard-earned money. – by no more vm!
|complete lack of features (10:08pm est thu aug 04 2005)
the pricing is not all that bad, especially with the always 10cent thing, it charges 35cents a day and you lose that automatically…kinda annoying but over the old plan take a few minutes and its coverd otherwise its like 35cents = about 1minute at work…main problem is the lack of features…it pisses the hell out of you when you see "openwave" browser you get excited whn it says enter adress…but everything is blocked! it forces you ounly to visit virgin mobile junk most of which you must pay 10-25cents just to see wht is behind a link only to discover everything costs you airtime! ringtones are a ripoff as well i don't buy any…they know no one would buy them if they had browsing though…all bussiness i doubt virgin will ever have this service if they do it will have huge restrictions and probably only allow email and possibly…aol….:/ and its not gunna be free thats for sure! – by u get what you pay 4

i have a virgin mobile phone, and i noticed they recently they have been sneaking in 10 cents per day charge for a service called virginxtras for months. i asked them why, and they said they subscribed me to the service as a convenience. i've had enough. net10 is getting my business tomorrow. its cheaper, and the $30 card gives you minutes for 60 days now. – by matt
|the virgin mobile truth. (10:00pm est sat apr 15 2006)
i work for vm i hate it the only reason why i work for them is that the pay is good.
want to know the truth…
if your of an ethnic race dont bother calling… they view you as poor trash or you need to go back to where you came from, i will actually try to help you…
virgin mobile usa has soiled all the good that sir branson viewed his pay as you go service. virgin mobile. when you are incorrectly charged and they say they cant refund your credit card they can!!! the f*ckin refund button is right infront of them in the refund screen! the program we use to access and deal with accounts freezes up daily our processors are a 1g or less so when dealing with accounts its so slow.. virgin mobile cares only about getting you off the phone and bull sh*tting the next one off the phone…unless you want you register your credit card or debit card so we can take your money faster by not explaining how the month 2 month works.
heres a hint if your phone doesnt work and your under warranty dont tell them what really happened to, just tell them my phone wont hold a charge or some error message is on the phone because we dont even check the phones so many come in that we just ship out a replacement to you..
if you want credit you need to ask for a sup because reps are told if they give to much credit they will be termed.
virgin mobile usa is the worst thing ever they know that some of there new phones wont even last a month yet they still sell them for example
nokia phones sometimes become locked even before the phone is activated..
if this ever happens to you we will instruct you to take it back to the retailer, if the retailer wont exchange it your sol sorry for the inconvience but thank you for calling virgin mobile and have a nice day.

|do not use virgin mobile (3:11pm est sun may 21 2006)
do not do business with these people. they charge you out the nose for their service, then they have all these rules and such to basically charge you for things you are not using, then refuse to pay you back. these jerks are taking advantage of kids, teenagers, and young people who can't afford a regular cell phone. i am on a mission to tell people how bad this is. keep it in mind before you buy any of their products. – by sara
|virgin mobiles operation (10:58pm est sun may 21 2006)
what they did was get alot of customers, then start charging for ridiculous crap. virgin xl was free, now 10cents a day. text, was 10 outgoing. now 5cents each way. and the one that makes me the most angry.. starting in june the messages that vm themselves send you will cost you money. also someone above mentioned that wireless web was once free but now $1 for 24 hours or more realisticly 5 minutes because the amount of kb allowed for $1 is so low you only get about 10 web pages before it tells you you need to spend another dollar
so all vm customers…run as fast as you can away , save up for a tmobile to go which is alot cheaper with $100 for 1000 minutes and dosent expire for a year – by vm(soon)ex customer
|virgin mobile cust serv is horrible (9:30am est wed may 31 2006)
they never fix their mistakes, they charge your for virgin xtras and say you used it, i haven't used my phone for 3 months, i got 5 sprint phones for my family and was just using the vm phone to play hexa. i was getting charged stuff and i didn't even use the phone for calls or anything other than playing hexa!! i am only writing becuase i called to ask about the charges and they wouldn't credit them (even though i didn't need the money credited, since i will not be using that phone anyway, it was the principle of it) i used to love my vm phones. my kids needed more minutes, so that's why i did a contract with sprint in january, which is great. so, i have no reason to write other than to let people know that vm is scamming charges, and should be held accountable for it. please, save your money. i feel bad, because i gave my other phones to a friend, and now i have to tell her to just throw them away before she gets burned by virgin mobile. – by robin
|virgin mobile "steals" your loaded money. (9:43am est wed may 31 2006)
if you download and pay for a ringtone on the web, make sure you turn virgin xl off, it automatically gets turned on even if you use the web to download, and your phone will be charged 10 cents extra every day until you turn it off. there is no message stating this when you download to your phone from the web, they told me there is a message if you do it from your phone, but i don't know about that. this should not be legal, to not state when you download that you will be "turning on" an "ok" to have your phone charged 10 cents a day from that point. in the above comment, i didn't use my phone at all so i didn't notice the 10 cents coming off daily. i wanted to transfer the money ($65) left as of january to the phones i gave my friend, but it had gone down to less than $20. (i had paid for service proserver to keep my phone active for year—what a waste of money!!!!!) again, do not use virgin mobile if you aren't already trapped by them. there policies are questionable legally. there will be more law suits against them for incorrect charges. i truly hope they go out of business very soon, and that whoever it is making this money on poor unsuspecting customers, gets his/hers/their share of getting ripped off and loses their profits when the company goes down the tubes! – by robin
|net10 is better! (9:23am est mon jun 26 2006)
i really don't like virgin mobile. the inner circle isn't good and the minute2minute is horrible. they charge you without telling you. cingular go phone also charges you a daily fee now and so does t-mobile, movida, & verizon. net 10 has no daily charge and is only 5 cents a text message. it's only 10 cents per minute. if you talk a long time i suggest you get net10. there is no scam, your minutes are always displayed on the screen when your talking & when your not talking. the minutes are amazing & they do not run out fast at all. when you purchase a net10 phone you get 300 minutes free!! that's a $30 value! i've tried other services & net10 is the best so far. – by lola

my $130.00 camera phone just stopped working one day. i called their bogus customer service line. i was told that they would have to place a hold on my credit card to send me a new one. long story short, they sent me a cheap ass $49.99 phone as a replacement. i had to send it back to them, and although they fucked up, i have to wait 2 weeks before i hopefully get the correct replacement phone. virgin's customer service dept. is an absolute joke.i started using virgin years ago…when you called the toll free number, you interacted with an automated female named nicole. now they have "simone", obviously a black chic and now the company appears to cater completely to black people,whiggers, and stupid teenagers. i'm switching companies real soon!!! virgin mobile and staff…burn in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – by rockstar!!!
|good phone (9:29am est fri aug 04 2006)
virgin mobile phones are really good & fun to play with. they have better phones than alot of other services out there. i would def. recommend a virgin mobile phone w/ the day2day plan. – by =)
|disappointed (3:10am est sun aug 06 2006)
i was with virgin for years, bought k7 raves for all my family (four in all) and got by very cheaply all that time. i had no complaints at all until i decided it was time to have some nicer phones. like a doofus, without checking it out completely, i bought 2 slider sonic phones, and immediately ran into vm's practice of crippling their high-end phones. in an effort to sell you more ringtones, they took away the ability to create your own. to leech a quarter at a time from you, they disable the ability to download photos from the phone to your pc. they won't sell a utility to accomplish these things, and they won't patch the phone to keep a good customer. it's all very sad, really. i'm currently researching amp'd, and so far it looks like a better deal all around. you can bet, though, that i'll be very careful this time. disappointment sucks. – by peregrin
|hidden charges and "simone" (5:54pm est wed aug 23 2006)
obviously vm has done their market analysis and i guess "simone" appeals to their target client base. i find her difficult to understand. she sounds like a hip hop crack head. i keep expecting her to offer to sell me a nickel bag or an eight ball. get someone with a neutral, mid western accent that should be understood by most americans.
i am also increasingly distrustful of their billing. i just called and their "system is down" again, so they cannot give me any billing details. i read some of the above comments so i asked the guy if i was being charged for "virgin extra". he explained if you check your bill more than 5x per day, they will also charge you under "virgin extra". well if the "system is down", what choice does a customer have but to continue to try to check the billing until the system is up?
vm is a scam. if you think it will be economical because you don't use a cell phone much, trust me, they will nickle and dime you with hidden charges until you have spent much more than a regular monthly plan. – by vm sucks
|vm employess are crackheads (12:31pm est fri oct 13 2006)
anyone know a real number to contact vm or an address that i can send them a big pile of horse shit. – by simone

10 Considerations Before Consulting an Interior Designer
Thinking about consulting a designer? Here are 10 things to consider before picking up the phone!
Having a designer come into your home is a more intimate experience than most homeowners realize, and having a basic plan before you pick up that phone will save you time and money in the long run. Please know that the designer you hire will be in your home and amongst your personal belongings for weeks, maybe even months on end. For this reason it is imperative to do your due diligence to find the right person/company to meet your needs. Working with a designer means trusting someone with possessions that are close to your heart as well as creating a vision for your home. Due the intimacy of the relationship and the extended timeline of a major project, the designer/client relationship must be built on trust, transparency, and open, honest, and forthright communication. Qualifying the best designer as match for you will be paramount to the success of the project. A good designer will be looking for match-worthy qualities in their clients as well. If there are red flags in the beginning, or obvious personality conflicts, don't be afraid to move on. Here are 10 tips to consider at the start of your design journey.
- Think about the space(s) you want designed. What will they be used for? Who will be using them? Will these spaces serve a single purpose or should they have dual capacities? Do they have enough light? Enough storage? Enough electrical outlets? These are all considerations to be made beforehand in order to get the most out of your experience with your designer. It will also help the designer develop an appropriate plan to address your needs.
- What will stay? What will go? Now you've selected the spaces in which you need assistance. Think about these space(s). What do you like best about them? What do you like least about them? Are there things that have to be changed in order to make the room function better for you? Are there things that will not/cannot be changed? Are there items you want left in the space when it's completed? Have these in mind when you do the initial walk through and share them with the designer.
- Use pictures. A picture is worth 1000 words! Use pictures to develop your design style. There are countless websites, catalogs, magazines, and books that will enable you to choose your aesthetic for the finished product. Use these tools to build your dream room and share it with your designer. Remember to be specific. If you look at a picture of a room you love, figure out why you love it. Is it the color? The shape or height the furniture? The straight lines and/or hard edges of the furniture or walls? A good designer listens with a keen ear and will ask questions to further develop a vision for the space(s). This tiny caveat can make the difference between someone who truly "gets" your vision and someone who does not.
- Once your vision is developed, the next question needs to be, "What can I realistically afford?" This is tough for many homeowners because often our dreams must be compromised when they meet reality. However, a good designer can come up with cost effective solutions to give you something beautiful without breaking the budget. Make the hard decisions beforehand, a list of non-negotiables, and stick to them. If you must choose between several small projects and one big one, it makes the most sense to complete the big one. Having one completed space make much more of an impact than several smaller changes.
- Making decisions. Change orders and add ons will no doubt add extra costs. Having a clear plan from the beginning will create a more realistic estimate of your costs. Also, you must know that if a designer finds an unsafe situation, they must address it. This could have a large impact on the budget and must be accepted as a risk when deciding to take on a large scale project. A good designer will build in a contingency in the budget, but if the issues are extensive more money may be required.
- Ask for updates. Pick a budget range and be meticulous with it. Ask for regular budgetary updates (usually within 24 hours) from your designer. You should know exactly how and where your money is being spent and so should your designer.
- Finally, you must consider a timeline. Think about when you'd like the work completed and ask the designer if it is realistic. Is there a holiday or celebration you'd like the project completed by? Before the arrival of a new baby or family member? Consider these factors when creating your timeline and know that you will have a major role in getting the project completed. Lack of decision making, indecision, or making lots of changes and adding on tasks not accounted for the original scope of work can majorly affect the timeline. The more certain you are about your goals and decisions, the more smoothly the project will progress.
- Concerns for kitchens & bathrooms. If you are remodeling a kitchen and/or a bathroom what necessary changes will need to be made while the room is under construction? Where will I cook or how will I handle not having a kitchen for weeks or months? If there is only one bathroom, what arrangements need to be made? Consider these and factor them into the budget.
- If the floors are being refinished, will there be fumes? For how long? If I cannot walk on the floors, will I need to make other arrangements for a place to stay while the floors are curing? Again, factor this into your budget.
- Storage & Waste. Where will all of the trash go? Do I need a dumpster? Where will all of my items be during the construction of the space(s)? Can I place my items in other places in my home or do I need a storage pod while the room(s) are being completed? Don't forget to factor those costs.
This list is not meant to scare you but rather to offer you a realistic glimpse into issues you may need to think about before calling a designer. If you don't come up with solutions on your own, these will be good questions for your designer to consider at the onset of a major project and leave you feeling as prepared as possible. He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
Forethought like this takes vision, trust ours!
Create. Innovate. Decorate!

The organizers of the anti-cop, pro-#BlackLivesMatter protest have deep, close ties to a controversial, CAIR-linked Dallas mosque.
In June of last year a Texas black reverend threatened ISIS-like terrorist attacks against whites over supposed police brutality.
"We're setting the stage for a terrorist attack in this country. And the group is not going to be ISIS, it's going to be USIS, us against these unjust law officers and people who continue to allow racism to grow into this city. With that said, if you have any questions, you can ask later. I'm going to bring Dominique [Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network] up. Dominique, come on, the Next Generation Action Network."
Now an ISIS-like terrorist attack by a supporter of #BlackLivesMatter has murdered white cops from a Muslim-owned building after a protest organized by a Muslim-connected organization. It's time to talk seriously about the black-Muslim terrorist nexus.
Such ties may even go all the way to the White House if a 1979 article about the Jarrett family's connection to Muslims is to be believed. Vernon Jarrett penned a column titled, "Will Arabs Back Ties To Blacks With Cash?" (November 6, 1979) that revealed much.
Indeed Obama's old supporter (and Texan) Khalid Al-Mansour a.k.a. Donald Warden was highly connected to Saudi Arabia as well as the other Gulf States. He ran their efforts to build an alliance with black Americans that may have included Barack Obama. Percy Sutton, the famed attorney for Malcolm X, was reportedly introduced to Obama through Khalid Al-Mansour. After Obama was admitted to Harvard Law School the Saudi regime began a process of donating millions to the law school.
Ben Smith of formerly Politico (and now of the cat pornography website known as BuzzFeed) worked to minimize Obama's ties to the Saudis.

The closeness between the Grand Prairie Masjid (or Mosque) is literal. It's right next door to Next Generation Action Network which is 850 Greenview Drive.
The address for the Next Generation Action Network is right next to the Grand Prairie Masjid. Then check out the Muslim affiliation of the leaders of the organization.
Didn't the police say that he needed prior knowledge of the route to plan the attack?
Well the Next Generation Action Network presents itself as a civil rights organization it is anything but.
Dominique Alexander, president of Next Generation Action Network who organized Dallas protest, has been charged with shaking a baby, stealing a car, domestic disturbance with girlfriend that led to police chase. (Of course the cat pornography website's anti-male "reporter" Jessica Testa continues the fiction of "civil rights" leader in her latest missive.)
The mosque's property is owned by The Allababidi Foundation. The principals of Allababidi Foundation are Mouaz Allababidi, Muawia Allababidi, Suhaib Allababidi. Suahib Allababidi is board president of the Dallas CAIR chapter. CAIR has been linked to terrorist organizations by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
Suahib has only been board president since January and take a look at his predecessor! Or listen to him: "If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land," said Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch.
Mouaz Allababidi (also of the Allababidi foundation) runs Shaam Relief, a non-profit for Syrian refugees. Shaam sponsored this radical Islamist's tour of the US back in 2014, he in turn raised money for them. The founder of Shaam has since resigned as he is tied to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood.
Anti-white Next Generation Action Network protest organizer Jeff Hood is listed as an attendee for the 2016 CAIR Dallas banquet. Hood has been connected to Dallas Muslims for a while. He was a panelist at this event in 2013.
Jeff Hood is pro-riot. "You can't cheer on Jesus in the temple and condemn the rioters in the streets," Hood wrote last year.
Here Hood attended and spoke at a CAIR Texas banquet on July 1.
Hood was on Fox News with Megyn Kelly the other night.
"There needs to be an end to white control of America, an end to white dominance of America," Hood said.
How is that not in line with the shooter again?
NGAN held an armed protest back in June. Around 6 min mark you can see the rifle.
The Next Generation Action Network very quickly gave a statement saying they weren't involved when they were very obviously involved.

I've been meaning to post the saga of my Hoosier Cabinet refinishing project for some time and hadn't gotten around to it (mainly because of the darn cancer thing).
Hoosier cabinets have been something I've admired for years, but I've never had a place for one in any house that I've had. I believe you would have to build your kitchen to specifically include one of these cabinets. Most are at least four feet wide and sometimes wider.
That's why I was pretty darn excited when I found this smaller size cabinet. While it is in the "manner" of a Hoosier cabinet, I have done a bit of research and have determined that it's probably what they would have called an Apartment size cabinet.
It has the pull out porcelain shelf, a tin-lined bread drawer, a silverware drawer, and racks on both doors. This one didn't include the usual floor bin and sifter or any glass canisters. Someone had painted over the label, so I carefully scraped the ugly ivory paint off the label and discovered that it had been made by the McDougall Cabinet Company.
When I began to dismantle the cabinet to sand, repair, and repaint it, I discovered the warranty label for the porcelain shelf still attached to its bottom. The date of assemble was in 1932. Pretty neat huh?
The bottom was a bit rotten, so Ron repaired that for me. I sanded off most of the old paint and filled in a lot of bings and bumps. It was interesting to note that they must have kept some pretty sharp knives in the silverware drawer. The back of one section had hundred of marks from the points of the knives. I left all those intact - thought that was an interesting bit of history.
The inside is all painted bright white (the same as the wainscotting color) and I decided to go with a "romaine" green for the cabinet color. Sanding it down had found a very similar color, so I tried to bring it back as close to original as possible.
The right hand door also has a early plastic rack. I'm guessing it would have held salt, pepper, and maybe baking powder.
Here's a photo of the before product (kind of a crappy since I took it with the Blackberry).

Taggants are uniquely encoded materials or chemistries that are virtually impossible to duplicate. A taggant is like a fingerprint—a unique signature of identity to which customers assign meaning. Taggants can be overt or covert and are used for a wide variety of applications.
The term taggant is now used to describe a number of different materials; however, not all taggant security technologies are created equal. Some taggants may appear to offer a secure way to identify your products and prevent counterfeiting but in reality, these taggants may be easy to replicate or simply purchased from a number of sources, leaving you extremely vulnerable.
The level of security achieved is only as strong as the weakest link – a true taggant solution requires strong technology and manufacturing process as well as a reader that will not give false positive results.
There are times where a simple solution is desired. For these applications we offer:

This time, we are going to see about Adtegrity one of the industries leading Advertising network. For those who are already running Ads on their site could try out Adtegrity especially to leverage extra revenue from your online business. Looks Adtegrity accepts only high quality sites which are professional in every thing from content to design. Okay, lets see few more (a short review) about Adtegrity…
Review of Adtegrity Ad Network.
Their network delivers 200+ million impression every day to their advertisers. They have approved more than 1000's of websites and helping them to effectively monetize their sites. Their system is built for the Advertisers in mind by providing better results to them, offering Ads on high quality websites. Yes, if you want to join Adtegrity, you have to satisfy the following requirements so that your site will get approved.
- Your site should drive minimum of 500K page views per month.
- Your site should receive at least 50% of its visitors from USA.
- A professional design and it should visually appeal the visitors.
- Free blogger blogs are not allowed to sign up, you must have a self hosted domain.
- Moreover, you should not have duplicate/copied content and needs quality content.
- Sites which promotes PPC, PTR, PPS (any Pay Per xxxx) kind of content are not allowed.
- Check their Before You Apply page for more detailed information.
Adtegrity is a CPM based network and hence every visitor coming to your site earns/counts. Interestingly, Adtegrity shows the Ads to unique visitors only (i believe only unique visits are taken for count). When the same visitor comes again to your site, that impression will not be valued. So if your site drives more number of unique visitors then Adtegrity best suites.
They claim all the advertisements are reviewed by their highly trained staff members before approved. They also have an extensive Ad monitoring system which scans the ads for malicious functionality which may prevents the visitors PC from harm. On going through Adtegrity, i could feel that they have more control over the publishers quality. Because they want to deliver the best results to their advertisers.
- Apart from regular advertising, if your site generates high volume of USA traffic, you could sell the traffic for flat rates. That means, Adtegrity fixes a flat rate to monetize your USA traffic based on your web sites quality, content and the historical data about your site. You could easy convert your USA traffic into money with Adtegrity. They are paying the earned money through Cheque or Paypal.
Finally, to conclude Adtegrity is best suited ad network especially for high traffic sites. And if you drive more USA traffic then its an added advantage in increasing Ad revenue on your site. Here is the Publisher Application.

A photo of one of André Smith's paintings has my accidental portrait. That year, André's work was featured and highlighted his work before and after the Art Center, which he created.It was in 2012, when my table featured a chandelier of masks.
The photo below (and some of the above) were taken by Kristen Wheeler, a friend and fabulous photographer.
This year I have my table scape underway, but nowhere near finished, so I hope it is all that I dream it to be. The gala evening is Saturday, March 29th, I'll share photos of the event after it's happening.

I've always loved the idea of science, but I've never been good at doing anything with it. The only science fair project I can recall putting together was a little dude made out of paperclips who was supposed to "dance" when you waved electrodes around his wee metal arms and legs. I tried to power it with a corroded old lantern battery I found in the garage, so the guy did a lot of dangling and not so much (O.K., no) dancing. (I didn't bother testing the battery before the science fair. What can I say? I was in sixth grade. And I was dumb.) Maybe science is too left brain for a dreamy right-brainer like myself. Or is logic a right brain thing? I can't remember.
SEE WHAT I MEAN!!! Albert Einstein I am not. (Though I am rocking some great bushy hair these days. There the similarities end.)
Still, I've been conducting a lot of experiments over the last two years. But not the kind that require a lab coat and a secret facility full of rhesus monkeys. (I have a lab coat and a secret facility full of rhesus monkeys, of course, but those are just for fun.)
My question: Is it possible to sell enough self-published ebooks to avoid starvation?
My hypothesis: Yes.
My experiments: Naughty, Dear Mr. Holmes, My Dog Needs Surgery, Blarney and Cadaver in Chief.
My conclusion: Uhh, I dunno...but I think I just heard my stomach growl.
In other words, selling ebooks is a tough racket. Which is why I recently put a new twist on one of my experiments. I offered Cadaver in Chief free for three days. And it paid off handsomely...in data, if not dollars. I learned a lot. For instance:
People are wonderful, and I love you all! If a lot of folks hadn't been retweeting and sharing up a storm on Twitter and Facebook, the giveaway would have been a complete failure. Fortunately, dozens of friends helped spread the word, and the result was phenomenal. More than 1,800 people downloaded Cadaver in Chief the first day it was free! The book made it to #126 on the Amazon Free Books list! Unfortunately --
Momentum is a bitch. Fewer than 400 people downloaded the book the second day. The third day the tally was about the same. This was not what I expected. The higher the book went up the charts, I thought, the more it would be noticed. And the more it was noticed, the more it would be downloaded. But not so. My friends and I got the ball rolling the first day with a lot of shilling, but then we stopped...and the ball stopped, too. Because --
Shilling works. This is not a lesson I wanted to learn. I don't like tweeting and retweeting the same sales pitch all day. I don't like hitting people over the head with it on Facebook and in e-newsletters and on my blog. So I backed off. And, surprise surprise, I stopped getting the same results. It turns out there's a reason some writers make like Billy Mays 24/7, relentlessly hawking and hawking and hawking. Hawking and hawking and hawking pays.
Does that mean Ron Popeil and the ShamWow! guy are my new role models? No. I'm still me. Dreamy, unpractical, right brainy (or left brainy) me. I managed to reach almost 2,500 new readers through the Cadaver in Chief giveaway, and that wouldn't have happened without a lot of good will and good friends. So I'm not going to piss those blessings away with a never-ending self-promotion blitz. If that means I have to change my hypothesis above from "Yes" to "No"...well, so be it. I yam what I yam.
But hey -- the experiments aren't over yet. There's still the biggest lesson of all to mull over. The one I've been thinking about for a long, long time now.
Give the people what they want.

Dreamin' on
- Artist: Eclectic Chameleon
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 10/28/2008
The Coals Records release is a determined 13-studio track display of the quartet's maturing song writing and refined arrangement prowess, tastefully peppered with keyboard and horn accents throughout. Fine raga rhythms are explored early on the title track and the funky, You Nailed Me. Mid-record the Chameleon seems to change color; shifting from the anthemic You Are Here into the pounding, gritty turbulence of I'm Sorry Babe. Delilah broadens the color gamut mixing dark, moody soundscapes with tight time transitions. The band seems to vibrate over the latter half of the record climaxing on the epic finale, Shell. Dreamin' ..s a multi-faceted picture of a colorfully adaptive reptile with clearly defined expectations of it's sound and image. -Brian Zickafoose ViZiWORX Creative Studio Electric Chameleon is a rare animal indeed. The funky rhythm section is so tight that it belongs in a jam band, while it's nastier blues-rock riffs suggest a heavier genre. The smooth, smoky vocals play as though over nu-jazz, yet swing with a Polish of pop. It's hard to imagine it could mix so much together and still find an identity, yet the music is so filled with catchy hooks and original energy that it shines making Electric Chameleon a young band to be on the look out for. 'Excerpt from The Roanoke Times Phantom Critic' 'Electric Chameleon is one of the most promising acts on the music scene. They are one of Martin's favorite and most consistent acts. Great song selection and vibe every time!' -Jason Martin, Martin's Downtown.

Bob Seger had some more news about his new album for fans in his hometown of Detroit this weekend.
Seger announced that I Knew You When, which is due out November 17, will be "dedicated to my great friend from Royal Oak (Michigan), Glenn Frey" of the Eagles. The two became close as they came up in the Detroit music scene during the 60s, and Frey sang and played acoustic guitar on Seger's 1969 hit "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man."
On the one-year anniversary of Frey's death in January, Seger posted a short tribute "Glenn's Song" on his official website. Seger made the announcement during his concert Saturday (September 23) at the Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit, the last concert ever and Seger's 17th sold-out date at the 29-year-old venue.
During the show Seger also played his version of Lou Reed's "Busload Of Faith," the first single from I Knew You When.
More details are expected to be announced soon.
Gary Graff is an award-winning music journalist who not only covers music but has written books on Bob Seger, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

Until Oct. 1, the group had a double-digit share-price gain for the year. But during the week of Oct. 1 to 6, cosmetics got smeared: They lost 10 percent. Over three months (July 7 to Oct. 6), cosmetics gained 2 percent while the S&P 500 was down 16 percent.

20 Dec 2006
TIELT, BELGIUM – December 20 2006 – A multi-part beer-tap system, injection-molded by Quadrant CMS (Creative Moulding & Systems) from polypropylene, is a critical, consumer-interfacing component on the new 5-litre, single-use Draught Keg from Heineken Beer Systems. Its production represents a first venture into the beverage market for Quadrant CMS while pursuing its strategy of developing and producing polymer-based parts for function-critical systems. Heineken opted to work with Quadrant CMS due to the company's technical ability in injection molding and assembly, high level of automation and partnership approach.
Seeing off stiff competition from other injection-molders, Quadrant CMS won the order from Heineken Beer Systems to produce and package the tap system for its new product the Draught Keg – a portable and disposable system for serving quality draught beer that delivers a unique experience. With an internal volume of five liters, the keg is made of recyclable steel and involves a patented tapping technology that keeps the beer fresh in the refrigerator 30 days after initial tapping.
The easy-to-install tap system consists of five injection-molded parts and a small extruded tube, all made of polypropylene, which is delivered in a blister packaging together with a protective plastic ring that doubles as a carrier-grip. All the components of the tap system are required to be robust and leak-free, withstanding the pressurized beer as well as fluctuations in temperature as the keg is moved in and out of refrigeration units.
The injection-molded and extruded parts are produced and assembled at Quadrant CMS' cleanroom production facilities in Tielt, Belgium, in compliance with Heineken's quality standards. Molded in a multi-cavity system due to the number of parts required, Quadrant CMS employed high-precision tools to maintain the high tolerance of the parts during serial production.
Decisive factors in the choice of Quadrant as production partner were Quadrant's expertise in the development of injection-molded parts, as well as its ability to implement large-scale projects with fully-automated injection-molding and assembly processes.
Commenting on how the beer-tap project lies within Quadrant CMS' competence, despite being a first venture in the beverage market, Leslie Adyns, Sales and Marketing Director at Quadrant CMS said: "This innovative project subscribes fully to our business philosophy of manufacturing products which have both a complex interface with the rest of the product in which it is integrated, as well as a strong influence on consumer-perception of the product's functionality as a whole."

Katy Perry's dad doesn't actually hate Jews after all
The father of Katy Perry says he is not an anti-Semite, despite some particularly crude comments he made from the pulpit. Read his explanation and tell us if you're buying it.
Poor Katy Perry. First her marriage to Russell Brand implodes, leaving her in the midst of divorce at the dawn of the new year. Then there's that pesky little issue of her family, who frequently uses her fame as a vehicle for their evangelical Christian congregation. This time, the antics of Perry's father could reflect poorly on her -- and it seems he is quickly trying to backtrack.
Keith Hudson, the singer's pastor dad, made some anti-Semitic remarks in a guest sermon at The Church on the Rise in the Cleveland, Ohio area last weekend and subsequently caused an uproar.

"You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey," Hudson preached.
"You go to L.A. and they own all the Rolex and diamond places. Walk down a part of L.A. where we live and it is so rich it smells. You ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah! Amen," he said.
Needless to say, his comments caused an uproar.
"If you take out 'L.A.' from his rant, most people would guess that Hitler or Goebbels was speaking," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Wiesenthal Center.
The Anti-Defamation League chimed in, calling Hudson's comments "unabashedly anti-Semitic" and saying it's "unfortunate that [Katy Perry's] good name is now attached to her father's words."
After being reamed by those and countless others, Hudson decided he had better apologize posthaste -- at the very least to deflect attention from his daughter, who racked up five trophies at the People's Choice Awards last night.
"I deeply regret the hurtful and ugly language I used in my message in Ohio," Hudson said in a statement to media outlets and Jewish human rights organizations. "I understand the power of words, and the need for all of us to think twice before using words that hurt or harm others. I apologize for the hurt that I caused my Jewish friends."

"I have had a few days to think about what I said, and to listen to my words as they were understood by others," he explained. "I used images about Jews rooted in the worst anti-Semitism in the past, images that at times led to the persecution and murder of Jews… I used them without ever considering what they meant."
The pop star herself has not commented on the mess, but Perry's tweet regarding her divorce news probably said it best:
"Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, 'close sources' or my family," she wrote.
