FRIENDSHIP, WI (WTAQ) - Testimony continues Tuesday in the trial of a central Wisconsin man accused of killing his mother, hiding her corpse, using her credit cards, and writing checks on her account.
61-year-old Larry Clark is charged with 7 felonies in Adams County in the shooting death of 79-year-old Marcella Clark.
Her decomposed body was found in late 2010 near a home in Big Flats where the two had lived.
In Monday's opening arguments, defense lawyer James Connell claimed the shooting was an accident. He told jurors that the gun misfired as Clark wrestled it from his mother – and it accidentally went off the next day, while Clark was having a hard time breathing as he was still holding the weapon.
The prosecution started making its case by calling a woman who first reported Marcella Clark missing. Jamie Wolms of Hancock said she got suspicious when the victim was nowhere to be seen – and the defendant gave conflicting stories on where she had been.
The trial is scheduled to run all week in Friendship.
Larry Clark is charged with homicide, hiding a corpse, forgery, identity theft, and providing false information about a missing person.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - The New Jersey state agency that oversees Atlantic City's tourism district says it is hiring a consultant to investigate whether it's worth adding a port for cruise ships to stop there.
Mayor Don Guardian floated the idea.
The new study is preliminary, said John Palmieri, the executive director of the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development, which is funding it.
Some in the cruise industry told The Press of Atlantic City that Atlantic City is too close to other departure ports including New York City and that cruisers would rather make stops in the Caribbean islands than New Jersey.

To put "shit on toast" is an expression used to describe nothing or nothing desirable. Similar to jack shit or if there was indeed a culinary dish with shit or faeces on warm breed it would be considered undesirable by most.

To put "shit on toast" is an expression of how awesome something is. When you really like something - a song, for example - it is your "jam." And what do we do with jam? We put it on toast. As a result, anything awesome is shit put on toast.

categories ... such as farmville
Like lots of people, Google shells out money for Farmville
Posted: 07/13/10 06:00 AM
Have you played Farmville? There are estimates that one in ten Americans has. It's a video game that people mostly play on Facebook where you get a little patch of land that you get to / have to take care of. You tend the soil, raise crops, acquire animals. Your farm grows as you work at it and acquire points and fake money You can also pay real money for it to grow. It's a silly game.
But Google is taking it seriously. They've apparently invested at least a hundred million dollars in Farmville's parent company, Zynga, who also makes other similar games that are played online. Games like Frontierville and Mafia Wars.
Google is seen as getting ready to take on Facebook with a much more aggressive push into social media. The idea is for Zynga games to be at the heart of a new Google gaming site. We talk to Dean Takahashi from Games Beat who says he's confirmed this story about Google's investment. He fills us in on what Google is doing here.
We also talk to A.J. Patrick Liskiewicz. He's in the process of completing an MFA in the Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo. He's written about Farmville online and says that what's really at the heart of Farmville's popularity is a compulsion toward politeness.
by John Moe // Posted: 06/10/10 11:00 AM
Zynga, creators of the insanely popular game Farmville, have rolled out a new way for you to throw your life away and just in time for summer when you should get outside and exercise. Frontierville is, says Zynga, a cross between the classic Oregon Trail video game, Little House on the Prairie, and Farmville. Interestingly, as popular as Farmville is, there is some statistical evidence to point to the game being on the decline a bit as people just run out of things they can do on it. It will be interesting to see what captured as much as 70 million players worldwide: was it Farmville specifically as a game or was it the kind of game it was?

Farmville is the cigarettes of gaming

That's what I tweeted yesterday on news that the TurboMegaGigantopopular game Farmville is coming to the iPhone. "We want to destroy the last shred of productivity Americans can manage and rip families apart," the president of Farmville said but not really. Today, Larissa pointed out this article where Dr Dominic Micklewright, from the University of Essex compared the health of gamers to athletes. The gamers have the reaction time of a fighter jet pilot, but the lung function of a 60-year old smoker.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

Whether or not Chinese New Year marks a major event in your life, it's easy to love many of the foods associated with it.
Dumplings are a traditional choice for the holiday, which this year begins Feb. 10. And while there are seemingly endless variations on the simple theme of stuffing rounds of dough with something savory and delicious, the basic steamed dumpling is among my favorites. Not the least because it is incredibly weeknight friendly.
I always start by using purchased wonton skins as the dough. These skins, which are available in various shapes and sizes, are widely available, inexpensive, need no prep, cook quickly and are easy to work with.
For the filling, you can use virtually anything you like. Seasoned ground meats (pork, poultry or even beef all work quite nicely) are wonderful, especially when combined with diced vegetables, such as carrots and onion. The only trick is to make certain the ingredients aren't watery, as this will ruin the texture of the dumplings.
If your filling contains many vegetables, it's a good idea to give them a quick stir-fry before adding them to the mixture. This helps remove excess water. For smaller amounts of vegetables, this isn't necessary. You'll also want to opt for lean ground meats for the same reason.
For this dumpling recipe, I decided to go vegetarian and used purchased seasoned and baked tofu in the filling. If you'd rather use meat, substitute an equal amount of diced or ground meat and skip the food processing step. You'll also need to steam for a bit longer (use an instant thermometer to check the progress and ensure you hit a safe cooking temperature).
For this recipe, I use a simple fold-and-pinch method of forming the dumplings. It requires no special equipment or skill. But if you make a lot of dumplings, consider getting a dumpling press sold for just a few dollars at Asian markets. These clamshell-style presses neatly fold and crimp the dumplings into attractive packets.
Seasoned baked tofu is sold with the other refrigerated Asian items, usually in the grocer's produce section.
Vegetarian Steamed Dumplings with Sweet-and-Sour Sauce
Makes 48 dumplings.
For the dumplings:
12 ounces seasoned baked tofu, cut into cubes
6 scallions, ends trimmed
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
1/2 cup finely grated carrots
1 whole egg or 2 egg whites, beaten
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce
12-ounce package 3-inch square wonton wrappers
For the sweet-and-sour sauce:
1/2 cup rice vinegar (cider vinegar can be substituted)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons apricot jam
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

"I would get the comment 'Gosh, you play really good for a girl,'" Barbara Borden admits in the introduction of Keeper of the Beat, which chronicles her lifelong passion for drumming. The documentary, by San Francisco's David L. Brown, airs Sun/6 on KQED.
The Always brand's empowering #LikeAGirl ad campaign made the rounds on the internet this week, but Borden's musical sojourn, discouraged for a female at the time, is decidedly more inspiring (especially since it's delivered by a badass drummer and not a corporation).

Given all traditional parameters of critical experience, SF Playhouse's production of Into the Woods (now playing through Sept 6) should be at least somewhat irksome. The vocal talent can be inconsistent, the accents are ambiguous, the set looks busy, and the musical is high-strung enough that it can be insufferable without expert work on all fronts. Shockingly, despite the surface-level issues, the Playhouse production is an unqualified technical success and a complete joy to take in.

[Editor's Note: With the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee scheduled on Monday, July 7, to act on a proposal to allow the new owner of the San Francisco Design Center to evict existing tenants to accommodate tech company Pinterest, Jim Gallagher of Garden Court Antiques, one of those tenants, wrote the following guest editorial for the Guardian.]
The San Francisco Design Center has been a doing business at 2 Henry Adams street for the last 40 years. During that time it has created thousands of good paying jobs in the city. We are currently at risk of losing the majority of the building to tech office space. The building is zoned for PDR-Design but a loophole in the law is being exploited by the new owners, a Chicago based investment firm. This would lead to the loss of SF based small businesses and the jobs that they create. Read more »
Future, America's Auto-Tune rapper du jour, is in a cushy position.

Hip-hop fans know who he is, as do a lot of indie kids who've stumbled across fawning reviews of his work online. But he's not yet a star.Read more »

You probably won't win any staring contests inside the new Madame Tussauds that opened June 26 at Fisherman's Wharf. (Besides, I wouldn't recommend holding prolonged eye contact with any of the wax figures, especially the Nicolas Cage one.) Like the youngest sibling in the shadow of brothers and sisters who have already established themselves, the SF branch — the fifth North American branch — tries to make a name for itself by flaunting its individuality whenever it's convenient. Its attempt showcases eerily lifelike figures of well-known San Franciscans in themed rooms.

Dr Kistler was wonderful! He only charged me 60.00 for an office visit since I have no insurance. He even checked and cleaned my ears without any additional charge. Very nice and wanted to go back again but he retired! Bummer for me, but happy for him. Will be trying his replacement at that office (for 65.00 per visit) in a couple weeks. Hopefully will be happy with new doctor!!

As the World Bank promoted its Seven Principles of Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) at its annual conference in Washington D.C. from April 23-26, food sovereignty activists with Via Campesina, National Family Farm Coalition, and other groups called attention to the bank's role in land grabs.
On April 24, protesters with Occupy Wall Street joined New York's Ethiopian community and others to target a major farmland investment conference the bank had at the Waldorf Astoria. Bank officials met with large money managers like the Canadian Pension Fund, TIAA-CREF and PensionDanmark [sic].
The World Bank's policies for land privatization and concentration have paved the way for corporations from Wall Street to Singapore to take upwards of 80 million hectares of land from rural communities across the world in the past few years, according to a press release from National Family Farm Coalition.
During a tele-press conference on Monday, Giulia Franchi from the Italian-based Campaign for the Reform of the World Bank (Campagna per la Riforma della Banca Mondiale) said the bank is using its RAI principles to justify and support transnational corporations' attempts to grab farmland.
"It's an attempt to make it look like a responsible deal, as something that can be done in a transparent way with the support of the local community, and something that will improve local communities. But there's no way the expropriation of people's land, however it's done, can be a responsible deal."
Franchi said corporations are using diversified financial vehicles such as pension funds, commercial banks, and investment banks, as well as foreign governments, to acquire millions of hectares of land worldwide for producing food and agrifuels for international export.
"This is all being done with the backing of international financial institutions, and most of all, the World Bank."
Franchi said the bank for decades has been promoting land concentration and privatization policies.
"It has been promoting land titling programs in many countries in the world, which has transformed customary and traditional land rights into titles which can be marketed, traded, and sold."
As the World Bank presented its Seven Principles for Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) Via Campesina and its international allies continued with their call for the bank to comply with the Extra Territorial Human Rights Obligations of States.
"The bank cannot continue to act in full impunity as it has up to now," Franchi said.
Bob St. Peter directs Food For Maine's Future and is a board member of the National Family Farm Coalition. He describes himself as a small-scale family farmer. He said he and his family rent, borrow, and lease about 4 acres of land for largely subsistence and small, direct market production.
"Coming at this as a new farmer in the United States, and looking out to what's about to happen over the next 20 years, there is set to be a very large transfer of productive farm land in this country. The older generation of farmers are set to retire and we have not been developing the farmers that are going to be able to replace them."
St. Peter said many farmers are in debt and likely will sell their land and equipment to have some money as they retire and to leave some to their children.
"We're in the position now of having to stave off what is likely to be a very significant rush for farm land in this country. Those of us who would like to farm the land…are not in the position to purchase it at the prices that the older generation is going to need to get themselves out of debt to secure their retirement. There aren't enough land trust or philanthropic dollars to make up the difference. So, what is likely to happen is there will be investment groups--and we're starting to see this already---speculators as well as corporations purchasing these farm lands."
St. Peter said this is going to exacerbate problems related to industrialized agriculture. He calls for not only low interest loans, but a transfer of wealth of some kind so new farmers have access to land without repeating the cycle of chronic debt where they have to depend on corporations just to stay in business.
"We don't have a plan for that yet, but if we don't stave off the farm land grab that is happening in other parts of the world, we're likely to see that happen here."
St. Peter calls for local food enthusiasts to look into the systemic issues involved with their cause.
"There's been this change in the food industry. There's been this political economy established to favor corporate agribusiness and that model has been replicated around the world. So the small-scale farmer ---in Maine I am literally competing in my local community with cheap imported food from all over the world, produced in conditions we don't generally support."
He said people who are only focused on their local food system would be well served by looking deeper and wider.
"(They should look at) how the global food industry manipulates markets and uses international financial institutions and trade organizations to basically pit us against each other and undercut and undermine all of us. There's a situation in Mexico, for example, of people being displaced from their land because of dumping. It also happens in our country, in our local communities. That's why we have a local food movement in the first place. It's because that's been taken from us and we need to put it back. But we can't do that without understanding both the solidarity aspects and the way the political economy works."
Rafael Alegria, coordinator for Via Campesina for Central America said during the tele-press-conference that in Honduras and other countries in the region the re-concentration of the control of land under the auspices of the government, the transnational corporations, and the World Bank, has displaced small producers and family farmers.
"The situation in the countryside in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador is similar. It's very grave poverty in the countryside but this does not only affect the countryside but also the urban areas."
Alegria said the US used free trade agreements to dump many tons of rice on the Honduran market, making it impossible for local producers to sell at a reasonable price. (See Oxfam briefing paper, A Raw Deal For Rice Under DR-CAFTA)
He said this is causing serious agrarian and rural conflicts in Honduras.
"In the region of Bajo Aguan on the Atlantic coast of Honduras, large numbers of campesinos have been hurt and killed in conflicts with a large land owner named Miguel Facusse, who owns Dinant corporation. This company has been in the sites of the World Bank. They have been trying to give them $30 million in loans. He and Reynaldo Canales---these two men in private industry---have taken over almost all of the arable land. They have displaced thousands of small producers and family farmers and replaced their diverse cultivation methods with monocultures of African palm for export."
Facusse makes his fortunes by producing palm oil used for snack foods.
Alegria said, "We've been able to document that Mexican corporations and private interests from other neighboring countries, as well as the United States, have taken over large tracts of land in Honduras. That's why on the April 17th Via Campesina decided to do an international struggle to highlight the problem of land grabbing. That's why on April 17 campesinos and small family farmers in Honduras decided to do a land reclamation. They reclaimed 12,500 hectares of publicly own land that is now being taken over by private corporations and private interests. But the government and private interests have been actively evicting farmers and farm workers from these land reclamations, and today (April 23) there was a predawn attack by private guards from the sugar company."
As a result of the attack, the leader of Movimiento Campesino de San Manuel (MOCSAN) is hanging between life in death in a hospital in San Pedro Sula , said Alegria.
"The minister of agrarian reform and the minister of security and the Honduran president Porfirio Lobo Sosa refused to talk with Via Campesina and the Honduran campesino movment. So, we declare that those government representatives are responsible for all of the bloodshed. We are also denouncing the vast media campaign to defame my leadership and the leadership of all of the local and regional campesino movements in Honduras. We demand that the World Bank stop promoting land grabbing being done by private interest. We call on the World Bank to support comprehensive land reform strategies like the one we put forward before the legislature of Honduras in October 2011."
Alegria said there has been no legislative progress.
As the World Bank promoted its Seven Principles of Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) at its annual conference in Washington D.C. from April 23-26, food sovereignty activists with Via Campesina, National Family Farm Coalition, and other groups called attention to the bank's role in land grabs.

I love Bernadette Peters. I have for as long as I can remember. Bernadette loves Stephen Sondheim, with good reason. The song is from 'Into the Woods'.She did not perform this song on Broadway but has recorded it. In a world that is often very harsh, this song puts things in perspective. It is a favorite. The image is an artistic interpretation of 'No One is Alone'.
No one here to guide you
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still you're not alone
No one is alone
Truly, no one is alone
Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood
Others may deceive you
You decide what's good
You decide alone
But no one is alone
People make mistakes
Fathers, mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone
Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes
Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decided what's right
You decide what's good
Just remember
Someone is on your side
Someone else is not
While you're seeing your side
Maybe you forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone
Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will turn out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side
No one is alone

Product Information:
Trying to learn the art of wood burning? There are more complex ways to do it: with fancy controls, and a hundred different burning tips. However, in this book, Dick Armstrong reminds us that the art of woodburning is as much about the technique as it is the tools.
Using a single-tip, simple woodburner, he goes back to the basics, starting with the skills that every woodburner should know and then applying them in three projects. The projects are designed to move from the easiest, a lighthouse, to one of medium difficulty, a dilapidated barn, to one that requires some skill, a clipper ship.
Every step is illustrated with a clear photo and description. In addition, a gallery of Dick's work gives the reader many ideas for application of these skills. This is the book for beginning woodburners, but the techniques and experience Dick shares will be valued by pyrographers of every level.

How your phone company helps steal billions
Unauthorized charges are "crammed" onto phone bills, costing Americans billions of dollars a year.
This post comes from Dan Schointuch at partner site Money Talks News.
A few days ago I called AT&T to ask about some unusual data charges on my cell bill. I'd recently loaded a beta operating system onto my phone, so the fact that more data was used than normal wasn't exactly a complete surprise. But what the customer service representative at AT&T uncovered was.
As part of my bill, I was charged $5.98 a month for subscriptions to Wheel of Fortune and Pac Man. There are only a few things wrong with that:
- As an iPhone user, all games I purchase are sold through Apple's App Store and are not charged to my phone bill.
- Unless I've been suffering from fugue states, I never authorized subscriptions to either game.
- Who would ever pay for a monthly subscription to either of these stupid games?
It turns out I was the victim of "cramming."
In the 1990s, telephone companies began to allow third-party vendors access to their billing platforms. These partnerships were supposed to increase convenience for consumers by turning your phone number into a credit card. The hope was something like: You call up a pizza place, order a pizza, and the charge shows up on your phone bill at the end of the month.
By the late 1990s, this method of billing had been thoroughly abused by crooks adding unauthorized charges directly to consumers' phone bills. The abuse became so rampant that the government and telephone companies both agreed dramatic changes to the third-party billing system were needed to address the problem of cramming.
The two big players at the time were the FCC and the United States Telephone Association. Both advocated a deregulated, voluntary approach, through which telephone companies would self-regulate their third-party billing infrastructure and remove any companies that were simply scamming consumers. Congress gave them exactly what they wanted.
And so, for the past 15 years or so, telecommunications companies have been self-regulating the practice of cramming. How are they doing? Post continues after video about last month's Senate Commerce Committee report.
A Senate Commerce Committee report entitled "Unauthorized Charges on Telephone Bills" states what you probably already suspect:
Over a decade later, thousands of consumers still regularly complain to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FCC about cramming, while state and federal authorities continue to bring law enforcement actions against individuals and companies for cramming.
Theoretically, it should be simple for a telephone company to cut off billing access to crammers. After all, they must first be approved by your telephone company before they're able to add charges to your bill. So why aren't the phone companies doing anything to protect you? From the same report:
Third-party billing is a billion dollar industry. Telephone companies place approximately 300 million third-party charges on their customers' bills each year, which amount to more than $2 billion worth of third-party charges on telephone bills every year.
Three hundred million third-party charges add up when you consider that phone companies charge $1 to $2 for facilitating each one. Over the past decade, telecommunications companies have made more than $1 billion in revenue with the third-party billing system. AT&T, Qwest, and Verizon alone have earned more than $650 million since 2006.
Because telephone companies generate revenue by placing third-party charges on their customers' bills, telephone companies profit from cramming. Documents reviewed by the Committee staff show that some telephone company employees feel financial pressure to approve third-party vendors even though the companies appear to be crammers.
Think about it this way: If you were running a business that earned millions of dollars a year simply by allowing outside companies to use your system to bill customers, would you stop?
While there may be legitimate companies using the third-party system, there aren't many. The Senate committee found almost all third-party charges had never been authorized, meaning the system is essentially in place for the sole purpose of charging you money you didn't agree to pay.
Committee staff has spoken with more than 500 individuals and business owners whose telephone bills included third-party charges. Not one person said the charges were authorized. Law enforcement agencies have reported similar findings when conducting surveys for their own cramming investigations.
And it doesn't just stop at phones. Third-party billers have crammed unauthorized charges onto everything from 911 systems to emergency phones in elevators and bank vaults. They've targeted the dead, children's hospitals, and government agencies. "Third-party vendors even crammed unauthorized charges for voice mail services onto AT&T's own telephone lines."
The U.S. Postal Service recently audited its phone bills and found almost $550,000 in unauthorized third-party charges. The U.S. Naval Station in San Diego found $11,000 worth in one quarter in 2009. And Los Angeles County found $306,000 of unauthorized charges on its AT&T landline telephone bills since November 2009.
I was able to get my crammed charges removed by the customer-service representative I spoke with, no questions asked. But many others have had a different experience. Have you found unauthorized charges on your bill that your phone company is unwilling to remove, or is incorrectly stating that it legally cannot remove? Contact the Better Business Bureau or your state's attorney general.
Cramming works because so many of us simply don't notice the unauthorized charges, or believe them to be some sort of federally mandated fee. Make sure to check your phone bill carefully every month.
On my AT&T wireless bill, third-party charges are buried under a section called "Total Credits, Adjustments & Other Charges," right next to the Regulatory Cost Recovery Charge and the Federal Universal Service Charge (my cynical view is they're buried there to make them appear more legitimate). They're listed as "Mobile Purchases & Downloads Charges."
What can you do to permanently end the practice of cramming? I would say complain to your telephone company, but that doesn't seem to do any good.
While telephone companies regularly tell their regulators and the media that their cramming complaint rates are low, internal documents reviewed by Committee staff show that the companies understand cramming is a major customer service problem. The companies have received hundreds of thousands of complaints in which consumers used words like "fraud," "scam," "theft," "hoodwinked," "shocked," "disgusted," "upset," "stealing," "bad business," "taking advantage," "disappointed," and "unethical" to describe their experiences with third-party billing.
It seems telephone companies have been self-regulating their third-party billing system long enough. At best, they're terrible at it. At worst, they're knowingly aiding in the theft of billions of dollars a year from the American public.
Contact your representatives in Congress (here's a recent story that tells you how) and urge them to impose regulations on the telecommunications industry's third-party billing system. Remind them that they work for the people of the U.S. and not the telecommunications industry.
More on Money Talks News and MSN Money:
They will change their self regulation B$ VERY FAST when wind of this catches on.
Self regulation NEVER WORKS. It's lazy politicians. Look at the financial industry. Thanks to their 'self regulation' they purposely bombed the American economy and also the global economy affecting almost every other country.
Now if that isn't a statement against self regulation then I don't know what else will get politicians to get their a $$ in gear and get working.
Lakawak (JKFAN) I am calling BS. You signed up for something without reading the fine print and lo and behold, that fine print was that you would be charged on your phone bill. But you can't admit your stupidity so you blame phone companies.
I worked for a phone company. No it's not BS.
Fine print doesn't constitute a contract or any agreement. It's fine print in order to appear to give you a contract, but if you never understood or saw such a contract it is void-- and all you have to do to prove it is to say "I never knew or heard or saw it". Fine print is not a defense phone companies. It's the same thing as mumbling to someone. If only one person understand a verbal agreement, it is not a legal. Both parties must understand it.
Further more, most of these 3rd party companies never warn you that you are about to be charged. My former company's policy was if someone saw it and complained we would adjust it through special computer program which adjusts it for the company too so we don't pay out to the 3rd party any part of the money. It was a no questions asked, we just adjusted it.
We would also offer to block that particular third party. We could also blacklist all 3rd party content if the customer wanted it. We knew (the telephone company) that the 3rd party people were often times scammers, but there was money being made. And there are some people that actually liked some of the 3rd party crap (always surprised me). And those people who claimed they never signed up with a 3rd party but kept calling us every month to have it adjusted, we'd adjust and but force a black list of the 3rd party because obviously this customer was scamming.
But that's how it works folks.
If your bill is not a consistant amount each month something is wrong and call 611 or their toll free number. Either you are on a bad minute plan or messaging plan or you got 3rd party subscriptions you never knew about.
My Verizon wireless bill was differant every month and I had an unlimited plan. Went with metro pcs and at least there honest, my bill is $50 a month unlimited talk and text and internet. I travel nationwide and while evryone else I worked with, 4 of us each with differant carrier,s and my verizon service was the worst. I think we depend on our cell phones alittle to much, all ya see is people walking around staring into there palms, if aliens are looking at us we must look like a bunch of idiots lol And if they put bigger hole,s and extentions on cell phones it will be the end of the human race. And your an moron if you put your banking info on your phone thats not to bright.
you'd be suprise how many calls i get from people who never look at their bill & finally notice charges of $9.99 from a couple of subscriptions that's been on their line for 12 months or more. beware of those websites that ask you to enter you cell number so they can send you the results of some personality quiz you took online or send you the results of who is your celebrity match. and always read the fine print of those commercials telling you to text to some number to find you Jersey Shore name or to get some freaky singing bunny. That's how they always get you!!!
You can ask your carrier to put a purchase blocker on your line to prevent subscription charges from being adde to you line. And if the rep is nice enough, they can try to go back as far as they're allowed to get that money back for you.
LOOK AT YOUR BILL PEOPLE! Personally, i sure as heck always do.
I have been crammed twice. Apparently someone only needed my telephone number to subscribe to a call forwarding service. The problem was that I wasn't aware of the subscription and never had the information I would have needed to retrieve the calls. When I called the company that charged me(through Verizon) they said there was an incentive where if you subscribed to the service you would receive a gift card to a supermarket. I finally told Verizon to block my account from any new charges. I did get my money refunded and haven't had any new charges added to my account since the block was put in place. I have a bundled account for landline and DSL and know what my monthly bill should be. When it was higher than normal I checked the bill closely and found the unauthorized charges. Be vigilant!!
P.S. Phone companies are require to bill for third parties. Write your Congressman.
and when you noticed these charges on your bill and try to get someone with your carrier to help you forget about it. It may take several calls many disconnects etc. which you better have minutes for. A golf buddy of mine is a trainer for veri&^%.and they train their people to use as many up that they can. so don't get pissed and hang up you'll have to start all over again.
This is all a result of deregulation, and opening the telecom industry to "competition". Your local telco is required to bill these charges and often doesn't have any control over how the charges got on the bill. They have to follow each individual biller's process for disputes and credits. Be diligent, always read your bill, always check out any changes to your bill as soon as possible, and document any disputes that you open. Keep record of who, when, what number you called and follow up.
The other way you're being taken advantage of is by your local governments adding "municipal" or local taxes to your landline or wireless service. Governments are finding it easier to tack charges onto your phone bills (making it look like the phone company has raised its rates) instead of raising real estate or sales taxes. Some of these rates are very high, and some are supposed to be temporary, but never seem to get taken off. So pay attention, and if you don't like it, complain to your local government.

Album Review: "Latch" on to Disclosure's Debut, "Settle"
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 06/10 at 03:46 PM
Grade: A-
Hailing from Reigate, England, brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence formed Disclosure in 2010. The group mixes house music, synth-pop, and other experimental music to create dance songs that are syncopated, melodic, and captivating. They've achieved considerable recognition and radio play in the U.K. with their singles "Latch," "White Noise," and "You & Me."
Settle, the duo's debut album release is innovative and hypnotic. Each track is distinct and unique, yet the album is undeniably cohesive.
The album opens with a spoken word intro that builds to the album's electrifying first track "When A Fore Starts to Burn." Upon its release as a single in the U.K., "When A Fire Starts to Burn" quickly climbed to the top of the iTunes charts. This track is undoubtedly a dance number and includes repetitive vocals, spacey synthesizers, and tight percussive work. These elements create a club-ready track made for getting people to move.
The album's second track, another of the duo's popular singles, "Latch," reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and features R&B singer Sam Smith. Smith's smooth vocals mesh with the brothers' treble-style singing and instrumentals to create a track that is both melodic and danceable.
The album follows up "Latch" with a previously unreleased track, "F For You," a low-key number that includes echoing vocals that perfectly compliment the duo's spacey instrumental work. Throughout the song, the vocals croon "I've been infected, and manifested," and the track's rhythm and catchy electronic bridges are very much infectious.
"F For You" serves as an apt transition from "Latch" to another of the group's hit singles, "White Noise", which reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart after its release in February 2013. "White Noise" is one of my favorite tracks on the album, particularly because of its funky synthesizer rifts accompanied by Aluna George's dreamy vocals.
"Defeated No More," a track featuring Edward McFarlane as a vocalist, follows "White Noise." This track is upbeat and optimistic as the title suggests, a clear departure from the notably pensive tone of "White Noise."
"Stimulation," the album's seventh track, is driven by powerful, driving percussion and its vocals and instrumentals seem to build to a climax. The track is indeed stimulating.
Next up is "Voices", featuring the vocals of Sasha Keable. Keable's Amy Winehouse-like vocals accompanied by synthesized musings in minor keys give the track a smooth jazz feel with an electronic twist. This fresh take on an age-old style makes the track quirky and interesting.
"Voices" is succeeded by the shortest track on the album, "Second Chance." This track plays off the slower feel of "Voices" and the intro comes across as a quasi-revival of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The track rides like a roller coaster with deep lows characterized by walls of enclosing synths and peaks characterized by ascending vocals. The track is a pace changer and an interesting transition to the second half of the album.
The album's latter portion revs up with "Grab Her!," an animated, awakening track. "Grab Her!" combines xylophone-like synths and percussive lyrics to create a pulsating, high-energy track that serves as the launching pad for the album's explosive conclusion.
The next track is another hit single, "You & Me," which peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart after its release on April 28, 2013. The song features singer Eliza Doolittle, a British pop artist whose vocals endow the tune with bubbly, youthful aura. The lyrics address teen angst, and confused love, and make the song very catchy.
"You & Me" is succeeded by "January," a longer track that opens with inventive, titillating percussion work. The percussion, along with other instrumental effects, renew the album's dance feel and serves as a perfect accompaniment to Jamie Woon's R&B stylevocals. This combination of flowing vocals and invigorating instrumentals creates a track that is simultaneously jittery and romantic.
"Confess to Me" pushes the album forward and intertwines the duo's vocals with those of Jessie Ware, the track's featured guest, to produce a layered chorus that sits smoothly on top of the album's signature synth beats.
"Help Me Lose My Mind" slows the album down with the smooth vocals and relaxing synth work. The track features the emerging group London Grammar, and their vocalist, Hannah Reid, who gives the track a calming flavor.
"Boiling," which showcases the vocals of British artist Sinead Harnett, keeps up the mellow feel of "Help Lose My Mind." However, the synth is more pressing and the track is undoubtedly tenser and builds to the albums final tracks.
"What's In Your Head" turns the volume up one last time with crooning, tense instrumentals that mimic human breaths. Theses instrumentals, coupled with raw, powerful vocals, create a driving, sensual sound.
"What's In Your Head" leads into the final track of the album, "Tenderly", which concludes this roller coaster ride of an album on a high note. Repeating vocals and layered instrumentals create a wall of sound and the album ends with a jumpy track that reaffirms Disclosure as masters of melodic dance music.
Settle adds a fresh twist to the often redundant electronic dance music genre. The album's strength lies in the diversity of its tracks and the duo's use of guest artists, particularly vocalists, to give each track a distinct flavor. The album clearly showcases the Lawrence brothers' songwriting and technical talent and is absolutely worth a listen.

Ride El Hefe vs Union Charger vs Union MC Metafuse
Member since
The El Hefe are light, tho not even close to the Metafuse. Still haven't get to ride them yet, but they do look more phat than the Unions.
Quality construction and slick look.
Member since
I will update this once I actually get them on the snow. First impression is the construction is solid and they look super sick. I rode the Union Atlas for the last 2 seasons and while I loved the ride the straps fell apart rather quickly with hard riding and had to be replaced. I was looking for a change and after much research landed on these (The Goodride has some great generational product reviews). This is my first pair of Ride bindings and I was hesitant on the aluminum base response, but the technology behind the smaller mounting plate makes sense. They feel slightly heavier than the Unions Atlas, but only by a hair and it could totally be my imagination.
Member since
Ok, update after a solid 7 days on the mountain. Awesome feel, lightweight, and response, but the strap teeth strip out. Temps were cold, but I would think todays materials would be up to speed. You are not able to crank down the straps. Strictly rode these on some deep powder days at Loveland, Colorado. Bum deal is the down time to deal with. Winter is limited and getting more limited each winter. The Ride site will not accept emails. Have not given up quite yet...
Member since
Ok, I am just outside of the timeframe for Backcountry to cover. So I have to go to Ride which their email is not working. Sucks, but the reality is REI handles this no issue. I am buying a helmet tonight and I am strictly looking at the return policy that protects the buyer from inferior quality goods.

Saturday was Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil's 127th prognostication. It is the world's most famous folklore celebration and festival. He did not see his shadow, therefore spring will arrive early.
Organizers said over 20,000 people cheered on Phil while he made his prediction.
Every February 2nd, Phil comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob in front of thousands of followers from all over the world to predict the weather for the rest of winter.
According to legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow there will be an early spring.
Punxsutawney held its first Groundhog Day in the 1800s. The first official trek to Gobbler's Knob was made on February 2, 1887. So the story goes, Punxsutawney Phil was named after King Phillip. Prior to being called Phil, he was called Br'er Groundhog.

The fiscal cliff is the biggest Grinch of all
A new Wal-Mart poll shows that shoppers are worried about the issue.
A poll released Tuesday by the world's largest retailer found that 15% of customers who were aware of the fiscal cliff said the debate over the automatic spending cuts and tax increases would affect what they would spend on gifts. That survey also found that 75% of those surveyed knew what the term "fiscal cliff" meant compared with 25% before the presidential election, according to Reuters.
CEO Mike Duke did not release any details of the poll and a spokesperson for the Bentonville, Ark., company could not be immediately be reached for comment. Other retailers that cater to the middle class, such as Target (TGT), Sears Holdings (SHLD) and Kohl's (KSS) would likely see similar results if they queried their shoppers. Wealthy consumers aren't enamored with the idea either. Tiffany (TIF) recently slashed its earnings outlook for the year in part because its customers continue to be worried about the economy.
I would suspect that the Wal-Mart shoppers that are most concerned about the fiscal cliff probably are in connected in some way to the defense industry. If Congress fails to act, the Pentagon's budget would be slashed by about 10%, which would lead to massive layoffs. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates these cuts would eliminate more than 1 million private sector jobs, including 130,000 manufacturing jobs, by 2014. A study cited by Washington Post estimates that 48,000 civilian jobs at the Defense Department would be lost along more than 229,000 from other federal government agencies.
The National Retail Federation is forecasting a 4.1% increase in holiday sales this year, which is below last year's actual sales rise of 5.6%. How the fiscal cliff is affecting these figures is tough to say. Customers are probably leery about shelling out big bucks for the holiday since the economy is improving at glacial rate even absent the specter of draconian government spending cuts and tax increases.

I'm worried about the fiscal cliff too. But, I want it to come if it takes that for the American public to demand a replacement of all the elected bunch in Washington. I think every American should demand every congress person resign after selling all they have and giving the money toward the national debt. I am sure they have laws already in place to prevent them from losing a dime and to protect them from incompetencies. But, they should be DEMANDED to pay up. If we make a debt, we pay up or lose anything we have. The same should be true for them too. They made this debt! I did not make a dime of it. You didn't either, unless you are an elected person in D.C. They will make a last minute "deal' but we'll still have to pay. Enough is enough.
You know what? All you anti Walmart, big corporation people, I wish Walmart and other big name businesses would go out of business. Putting more unemployed on the street. Where do those people go? Those employees and most of the shoppers dont have degrees or the elements of whats needed to start businesses themselves.
That would show all of you where we go. Down. For a loooong time.
Without the big businesses employing people, what happens?
Government supports them? Who pays the Gov.?
I hope we go the way of Atlas Shrugged, then all you idiots can cry about it. Who will help you then? Obama's stash?
I hope walmart goes under and the big banks follow including the corporate farmers. For every big greedy buisness that goes under there will be thousands of mom and pops to fill the void.
Iceland had it right. The government bailed out the people and jailed the bankers and people responsible for the mess.
Google: iceland did it right
It is that simple. Obama's solution to everything is, print more paper to buy elections.
Let's do some compromise , cut spending today, not ten years from today.
Obama's version of compromise is the same as my great grandaughter, do it my way.
Who gave the Fed. power to print paper any time they want to?

Channing Tatum May Direct 'Magic Mike 2' Because Even He Wants More Channing Tatum
Oh Channing Tatum, yesterday you were just that dude in Step Up and today, you're a bona fide star that had 3 $100 million grossing movies this year, two of which are getting sequels. And not one to rest on his laurels, Channing has his eye on possibly directing one of those sequels. Bet you can't guess which one it is? Oh okay you got me, it's in the title of this article...Magic Mike 2. The world is definitely getting Channing Tatum-tastic.
While I never saw Magic Mike, Tatum impressed me with his keen comedic timing in 21 Jump Street. In fact he delivered two of the funniest lines in the movie. And since Mr. Tatum is all about throwing the movie going audience a curve ball or two, why not get behind the camera? The move may actually work and if he does in fact end up directing Magic Mike 2, it would be familiar territory that would benefit a guy trying to establish a career behind the camera.
But lest you think that Tatum is going to jump into directing Magic Mike 2 all willy-nilly like, here is what he had to say about him and producing partner Reid Carolin jumping into the sequel.
"Reid and I aren't idiots! We're not going to direct our first movie as a sequel to a Steven Soderbergh movie. That's not smart. I want to start with something very small ... make a lot of mistakes, make them real early, and then go jump in [on Magic Mike 2]."
I say go for it dude. It's not often that people get the chance to direct a movie so take full advantage of the opportunity if it ends up presenting itself. It worked for Ben Affleck, why couldn't it work for you?
