The Bottom Line: How To Get The Right Insurance Polic
February 18, 2014
Making a confident insurance purchase can become very frustrating and complex, whether you need coverage for your home, car or even an apartment. However, frustration doesn't have to be a part of this process. Using the right advice, you may buy a policy stress-free. Use the following tips to get started.
Bundling your policies is a great way to save money. Insurance providers have a handful of discounts that are available, but bundling discounts is an industry standard practice. When trying to find insurance, it is important to get quotes for every policy you need and to find out what multi-policy discounts are offered.
If you're running a small company, make sure you're insurance options have been covered. Most insurance coverage gives you an umbrella over a lot of various risks, but might not cover particular potential issues, meaning that you should seek a policy or additional coverage that will cover you.
Looking for competent expat insurance in Spain or in any country is not quite hard. If ever you are in this predicament, try to look into the internet and surf through online forums and check for referrals by credible people. This way, you get an idea on what companies you can partner yourself with.
Try bundling your policies with one company to save money. Buy car insurance and motorcycle insurance together to secure a fixed rate. Most companies offer bundle packages that will even include your home along with your automobiles. You should, though, always buy only the insurance that you need.
If the time has come for you to find a new policy provider, check if your current state gives you any kind of facts or data about local providers and their premiums. When you do this, you will gain good, general knowledge of the appropriate price range for you. Establish a budget beforehand and find the prince-range from each company you query, thus providing an initial process of elimination.
It is always smarter to shop around to get the best insurance coverage. A lot of people get used to just sticking with their current insurance policy, because it is more simple than checking around to get the best deal. Spending time shopping around is worth it as it can save you hundreds of dollars each month.
Raising your deductible can lower your premiums, but it can come with a price. Although you'll be paying less when it comes to your monthly bill, you still need to pay for smaller things that occur out of your pocket. Calculate these potential expenses into your figures when deciding what you should do.
If you have ever shopped for an insurance policy you know that it is not something simple. However, if you know what you are doing, what you're looking for, and what offers and deals are available to you, then you will come to see that it is actually quite a simple process.
Getting into Bitcoins?
February 9, 2014
The general public has mostly just heard about digital currency lately because recent increases in the value of Bitcoins have gotten a lot of investors excited. However, this type of virtual money was actually invented back in 2009 in response to the global economic crisis. Don't worry if you haven't managed to collect any of these electronic coins for yourself.
How to Get into Bitcoins?
It is still very simple to buy, earn, or get paid in Bitcoins. This process is fairly well described at BabyBoomerConcerns.com. It basically boils down to deciding how you want to set up your electronic Bitcoin Wallet and then collecting your online money.
Web Wallets
The first thing you need to do is set up a digital Bitcoin wallet, and you can either download the software or use an online web wallet. Some people prefer to download their own software for control and privacy reasons. Others like the extra features and ease of allowing a third-party service to store their digital money. You should research the options and make the right decision for your own needs.
Get Paid in Bitcoin
After you have set up your wallet, you can choose how you want to get some electronic money for yourself. The simplest solution is simply to purchase them on an exchange. However, you can also find ways to mine for Bitcoin or earn them by doing simple tasks. If you are just getting started, joining a good mining pool might be a good idea. That way you can combine your resources with other miners.
Of course, you can also choose to get paid in Bitcoin for selling products and services. Most web wallet services will have features that make it easy to pay you in digital currency either online or with smart phones. Even though it is not that common to see offline businesses that accept this form of digital currency, interest is growing.
There are even directories of businesses that accept digital currency, and you might be able to gain some extra promotion for your own online or offline company if you accept this form of payment.
Why Getting Fanpage "Like" Is So Important
January 17, 2014
Facebook is one of the biggest online marketing platform and a fan page is the best tool to reach millions of potential customers. Brands leave no stones unturned to gather as many likes as they can. They offer coupons, ask existing fans to bring new fans, share the news about the fan page via e-mail marketing and even buy "like" by paying a reasonable amount to social media marketing companies. There are lots of companies out there selling "like". One such service provider is "like social fans". The company, likesocialfans provide real Facebook likes at cost effective price and they maintain all the rules and regulations of the social media giant to make sure that their clients get the attention of genuine people.
Seeing the race to get more fans, a question pops up in every newbie online marketer's mind – is it really important to increase the number of "like"? Find the answer to this question below.
Customer interaction: The more fans you have, the better you can establish a cordial relations with your customers. Don't forget that those who "like" your page are basically your consumers and can tell the truth about your business. No marketing research team can give you better market survey data than the opinion shared by your fans on your page. You get to know what they love about your company, what problems they are facing and what they expect to see from your brand in near future. Regular conversation with your customers via posts and comments not only prove brand loyalty, but also helps you solve the critical issues to maintain a pleasant brand experience.
Earn the loyalty: Fans are die-hard supporters of your business. They like your page to get the exclusive news and updates about new products/services. They feel that they are a part of a large community of like-minded people and thus, the more fans you have across the continents, the more proud users feel as a global community.
Trust factor: Online shopping is very popular these days, but customers are very cautious when it comes to selecting a virtual vendor. They search for an e-commerce website's corporate page on Facebook and take a look at the number of fans. If they see that your brand in website is liked by one million people and some of them are their friends too, then you immediately earn their trust. That is why, companies trust on "like" selling sites like likesocialfans provide real Facebook likes and help e-commerce companies boost their business.
Money saving: The cost of online advertisement is pretty high no matter whether you opt for PPC or banner or pop-up ads. Especially, if you decide to run a month long ad campaign, you need thousands of dollars and generally small companies don't have such a huge marketing budget. On the contrary, anyone can develop a fan page without spending a single penny and start advertising his company's products/services using text, images and videos to reach the target audience. Unlike random web marketing, when you promote your brand on the fan page, the messages reach the exact group of users your brand targets. As long as you compose your own posts and take a few snapshots of your products for sharing, the marketing cost is practically nil!
These are the reasons that compel every fan page admin to get as many fans as possible. If your company is new and people are not noticing your page, you can take help of Like Social Fans because likesocialfans provide real Facebook likes at affordable rates and they are very professional.
Get Your Home Picture Perfect
December 28, 2013
Taking time to fix your house's interior space might be something that could take a while to do. Many people focus on big bunches of fabric and brand new floors. You can start very small. The changes included here can be made now.
Make sure to keep your space functional whenever you design an office. A comfortable chair, desk, and proper lighting is vital for your office. Your priority needs to be a proper space to work in, along with looking visually interesting.
Lower the costs of your interior design projects by seeking out the same high quality designs from mass merchants. High-end designer decor can cost a fortune, but you can usually find something comparable or similar without the designer's brand name. The only time you should use designer brands is if you can't find similar items for a cheaper price.
In your kitchen redesign, try something different for your counter tops. If you want a traditional look, you can go with granite but for fun looks, you can use concrete, wood, and cork counter tops. These other materials can cost less and be better looking.
Keep up with the newest style trends when working on your home's interior design. You don't want to be that person that looks like they're stuck in the 70′s, with old and tacky wallpaper. If you have the opportunity, you should visit the homes of those you know that have recently decorated to get a feel for recent trends.
Children's walls stickers are also good in making your kid's room a perfect fairytale land. Using stickers will save you from using paint and it is less expensive. Stickers are also easier to handle, install and remove. Just ascertain that you are buying the best and nicest stickers your kids really want.
Pay close attention to the little details. Interesting looks can be created if you use small decorative items that form different color patterns. For example, instead of changing your decor on a large scale, like replacing your floor or purchasing new furniture, you can change fixtures, cabinet hardware and window treatment to project a unified theme.
If you have pictures to frame, be creative. Keep in mind that pictures are included in the design of your rooms. Do not limit yourself to just hanging them in a straight line. Hang them in planned angles and patterns. Using white space can change how a room feels, as well as make some fascinating effects.
Once you figure out what changes you want to make, you should start getting your supplies. You'll find out that interior design is fun and addictive. You will quickly see how you can improve the look of your home by doing small bits at a time.
Weight Loss Doesn't Have To Be Difficult
December 24, 2013
Losing weight and keeping it off can seem like an unattainable goal. Good intentions aren't always enough to overcome the frustration of those sore muscles from your first workouts. How do you determine the key to successful weight loss?
It is critical to set a goal to strive for once you decide to work on losing weight. Do you want to lose a lot of weight, or do you just want to be able to fit into some clothes that have been too tight for some time? Are you interested in feeling more fit and improving your overall health? Giving yourself concrete goals gives you something to strive for.
You should try keeping a journal or diary about your weight loss. This can be as simple as recording what foods you eat and noting their effect on your weight loss. After you have written everything down, look over what you have eaten and plan accordingly.
Hunger can effect your brain in strange ways. When you are feeling hunger pangs, it is better to have snacks you have packed rather than risk eating something unhealthy when you are out and about. Without a healthy and accessible alternative, you could fall back on fatty convenience foods. Instead, know exactly what you plan to eat and have it on hand. You'll easily resist temptation and save money too!
The weight loss systems with the highest success rates focus on both diet and exercise. Clear your schedule for a few hours a week to enjoy some fun workouts. If you keep neglecting exercise because it is boring, then use the activities you enjoy to get some exercise. Do you enjoy spending time with your friends? Take them on in a game of basketball. Is letting your hair down something that you enjoy doing? Hit a Jazzercise class! Do you prefer to escape into the world of wildlife and visit areas of outstanding natural beauty? Go on a hike in the great outdoors or explore your local park.
If there is something you can't eat, never bring it into the house! At first that might be a shock to your family, but guess what? If it's not good for you to eat, chances are it's not good for them to eat either. Make sure your cupboards and fridge are filled with healthy food choices your whole family can enjoy. Nobody will have to live without a variety of snacking options. Fruit makes a great snack for both children and adults. Keep a supply of granola and assorted healthy snacks in your pantry for everyone in your house to enjoy.
When you are losing weight, having people on your side is so important! No-one can lose weight for you. When you have a group of people cheering you on, it is easier to stay focused. Don't get so discouraged that you give up in frustration! Instead, call someone that will give you the support you need to keep going.

There customer service isn't bad, pretty quick and smooth & the approval process is quick too… they generally offer 2 different types of loan, payday loans & small unsecured..

Don't get me wrong, Im not writing this to tell the world that I love loans companies, but what I've noticed with these guys is they seem to be quite a good company because they don't oversell their product and they are very honest & transparent.
One of the things I like is that getting the cash is quick… it's not a long & drawn out approval process… my experience with loans companies in the past wasn't great, but the short term loans people.co.uk seem to be quite good.
I got a loan in the first place because I needed money to clear a bill for my computer and I was getting into arrears with the bank for the loan, I just needed a quick £580 and I got this off that website, anyway just thought I would put a bit of this on the site for people to see for if they ever need cash quick.
Help with finance matters is available all over the internet and loans is no exception to this fact, plenty of websites if you do a simple search on google.co.uk you will find all kinds of different places that will help you out, I have just mentioned the above because I was happy with the service really.

You KNOW It's Big When....
A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
You KNOW It's Big When....
Google changes their logo. I would have put this in gh's "Google Rocks!" thread, but that's locked up tight in the Torino forum.
Yeah but why is he screaming.
A. Store out of Ding Dongs
B. Someone tried to feed him a green leafy vegetable
C. Stacy agreed to meet for coffee
D. GH moves in next door
H) He:s gone temporarily mad, but for reasons we didn:t know until now. He starts off with blue, the colour of the sky and sea. There is no rain, and there is no water in the photo. He:s dying of thirst. Red increases the respiration rate, and raises blood pressure, hence his outburst. He has no more perspiration to leak, and nothing to lick from his lips. He realises we are looking at him, so he quickly turns back to blue and thoughts which can calm him; he is trying to symbolise piety and sincerity of his lack of fluid after his outburst. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety, with dark green commonly associated with money. In this instance, after he shows us he has no water, has his outbreak, shows us he is not a nut, but sincere, he then shows us that, through green, he will be better off if his farm receives water, as life will grow on his land, and he will get more money. He then goes through an orange stage, demonstrating determination and encouragement, because we are looking at him looking at us looking at him. If we don:t wash our cars today, and put the would-be wasted water into a couple litres of empty cannisters, he:ll be much better tomorrow.
>He:s gone temporarily mad<
Yes "He" has...........
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/12/ ... N880.shtml
I saw the original on exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario. I picked up a couple of souvenirs including a Scream whoopi cushion. I have a photo around which I will post of a conceptual piece I made from the cushion, pegged to a clothes line beside a cup with the words "This is not the life I ordered", and a sad looking puppy in the cup. The cushion screamed when you squeezed it, like any date I get.
Unfortunately I cannot find the illustration online, but on yesterday's SF Chronicle's Op/Ed page was an opinion piece written by Khurschev's son Sergei - The Making of Sputnik - that was illustrated by a Sputnik photo where the main body had been replaced by a head shot of a smiling Nikita Khruschev. Pretty funny, actually.

ya know what's funny about this, is that I use google many times a day, but haven't seen their home page in 6 months, since I downloaded the toolbar into my header. Besides the spam-blocker, it has has a great highlighting tool that makes searching text easy.
I just got a new computer and found that I didn't have to download the Google toolbar into my header. It was included in the set-up options, so I just clicked yes, and there it was.
Did a search for my name, which I share with a 70s porn star, and came up with zero hits. Google gave me 172,000 hits. FAIL.

Curmudgeon's Corner
cur-mud-geon: anyone who hates hypocrisy and pretense and has the temerity to say so; anyone with the habit of pointing out unpleasant facts in an engaging and humorous manner
Front-Loaded Health Care Costs
The health care reform bills (really health insurance or health care financing reform bills) in Congress at the moment have been carefully crafted to gain the desired response from the Congressional Budget Office. The response desired was the confirmation that each bill would "bend the curve down" when, in fact, neither bill will do that. Classic government 'smoke and mirrors' if ever there was.
The problem with that, as Bob Laszewski points out in his blog today is that there is tremendous front-loading that must occur in the initial four years in order for the 'smoke and mirrors' to get to the point where the CBO review appears to be favorable...with appears the operative term.
The 'Stans' Conundrum
President Obama has settled on his plan for the 'stans'...Pakistan and Afghanistan...and the plan demonstrates the conundrum that is present.
I think I understand that the military commanders feel the need for more troops to root out the Taliban/Al Qaeda trouble-makers in this vast region. I think I understand the reluctance of this president to make a commitment that could be the bain of his presidency. I think I understand the hesitancy of many in Congress to support this decision; and, I think I understand the need for many in Congress to express their support for the decision.
Random Thoughts
Doyle to Denmark?
Governor Doyle is going to Copenhagen next week to participate in the climate change conference. Aside from the ridiculousness of this trip, what does he think he'll be able to contribute to the conference other than more hot air? Maybe that is how this bogus science will accomplish "warming"; continue to bring the hot air producers together to pontificate.
Send A Christmas Card...
Xerox is again sponsoring a website from which you can select and send a Christmas card to a person serving overseas this time of year.
The site is located here and has a selection of cards that were designed by young people. There are an assortment of preselected verses as well, or you can write your own sentiments to be placed inside one of the cards.
Armies Break Things And Kill People...
This phrase has been used to describe our armed forces; we have armed forces to impose our country's will on others through the use of force. Armies have been on the face of the earth for centuries and they have always been involved in breaking things and killing people. That is a tough and ugly statement, but it is true.
That we have those people who are trained to react to threats to our way of life is among the chief reasons we are able to sleep soundly at night. While we sleep, the tough people whom we've hired to do so, cover our backs. They sometimes have to do bad things to our enemies, but that is what we've trained them to do, and they do it very well.
"A Day That Will Live In Infamy"
December 7th marks yet another anniversary of that day in 1941 when the United States was attacked by Japan when that country hit the Pearl Harbor naval force in a series of aerial attacks that killed thousands. If you have ever had the opportunity to visit the memorial that stands today in Pearl Harbor, you probably came away with a feeling that those souls still inhabit the Arizona.
That was a long time ago in one sense and a short while ago in another.
(EPA) Environmental Perversion Agency
Our Environmental Protection Agency became, by its actions, the Environmental Perversion Agency yesterday.
The Obama Administration is moving ahead with its intent even though the Congress has not been consulted and has not given its blessing. Never mind; just create a new regulation before the president has to appear in Copenhagen to brag about how the United States is finally seeing the light. After all, the Neanderthal Administration of former-President George Bush is now gone.
Climate Change Drama Stuff of Fiction
The climate change fanatics are in all their glory this week and next as the Copenhagen talks continue. Our EPA has given the attendees something more to talk about as they work to put together something they feel is meaningful.
The problem they have is two-fold. First, there is no solid underpinning for their "science" and the proponents so far have rejected an effort to stage a "world court" where this discussion could be conducted under oath. A world hearing seems an appropriate forum, but the proponents don't seem to want anything to do with that. Better from their perspective that they decide and we all pay. After all, they are the smartest people in the room.
Watching Washington Work...
You would be safe to assume that I spend a lot of time watching the goings on in our nations capitol. Many of you probably do so as well. The passing of one Administration and the beginnings of a new Administration provide much of interest. There are always those who scream for retribution by the new against the old. That seldom happens, although there are exceptions.
The change that we are watching today is an exceptional change in that the election provided one party, the Democrats, with all the levers of power. Our founding fathers were careful, even in this eventuality, to provide what we call 'checks and balances' knowing that branches even of the same political persuasion would jealously guard their own turf. We ought be thankful for that foresight since we are in the midst of several 'sea change' events simultaneously.
Candidates vs. Office Holders
The Obama speech at the ceremony where he received the Nobel Peace prize marked the stark realization that occurs when a candidate takes the office for which he or she campaigned.
Amazing isn't it that all the problems, perceived and real, seem so easily solved when a candidate takes them on? Amazing isn't it that those same issues become insoluble once the person is in that office?
Health Care Reform: Medicare Buy-In DOA?
I have written several times about the opinions of Robert Laszewski who publishes a blog called Health Care Policy and Marketplace. He has just issued his opinion that the Medicare buy-In proposed by Sen. Reid as the tool to get around the promise of a "public option" is dead. That is a strong commentary from a knowledgeable and well-connected insider.
Presuming that Laszewski is correct, this places Reid in a tenuous position. Beyond that, it places the far-left members of his caucus in the "hot seat". These are the people who have forsworn ever voting for anything that doesn't have a "public option". The idea of a Medicare buy-in was, for some of the far-left at least, a place where they could hide from constituents after having caved in and voted for something that wasn't a real "public option".
'Fat Cat' Bankers?
President Obama, in his Saturday radio address, used this term to describe the latest "enemy of the people" that has come into the politicians' cross hairs. The insurance companies and 'big pharma' have had their turn in the barrel, so it stands to reason that it is time to roll out the next victims.
The Democrats are now pushing a very substantial piece of legislation through both the House and Senate. This is, of course, taking a back seat to 'health care reform' and that is likely by plan. Rep. Barney Frank has been the champion of this re-jiggering of the rules by which all financial institutions must play.
Ticking Bombs: Unfunded Liabilities
The Wisconsin Policy Research Institute released a report that was published in the morning Journal Sentinel. It detailed the existing promises made to the Milwaukee Public School's teachers for health benefits following their retirement. The total of those unfunded commitments is expected to be some $5 BILLION by 2016. For just the Milwaukee school system. Imagine the magnitude of all these promises if aggregated.
My intent is not to denigrate the MPS Board for making these promises but to point to all the "ticking bombs" to be found across the state and nation of a similar nature. These future obligations are real and they are coming due. The retirement deals in Milwaukee County could easily pale by comparison to all the debt that has been and is being accumulated for the promises made over the years.
Health Bill Support In Free Fall?
As bits of the substance of the Senate health care reform effort continue to leak to the public, public support continues to drop. We're closing in on a two-thirds oppose, one-third favor position and that spells real problems for the Democrats.
People are apparently remembering that then-candidate Obama made some promises, and he made them over and over again on the campaign trail:
Village Buzz - December 17th
Rambo In G'town:
The new canine officer, approved by the Village Board recently, should be here in April, 2010, and his name is Rambo. He will be teamed with Lt. Dave Huesemann. Rambo is now 14 months old and will be supported by community contributions. The Board was assured that there would be no 'overtime' comp issues since Lt. Huesemann is not paid for any overtime hours worked. The Board also insisted that a monthly report of Rambo's activities be rendered.
What? Is That Really The Case?
President Obama is in Copenhagen working his magic with speeches. There seems nothing he is unable to accomplish that a speech won't cure.
A quote from the speech in question follows:
Climate Symbolism Wins Out
Copenhagen can relax a bit following the two-week fiasco that was to produce the actual substance that the UN has pursued for years. And, Copenhagen can begin to count up the costs in terms of 'carbon footprint'.
The results are in and President Obama, in conjunction with the UN, has again delivered vapor over substance. He intervened when he'd have been politically-wiser to avoid the conference. His grandiloquence produced little but a place for the supporters of world climate control to hide while they try to fix their problems, which are multitude.
Where Were Our Senators?
Where were our senators when the health care vote 'goodies' were being handed out?
I have begun the tedious process of going through the Manager's Amendment that has now been approved by the Senate on a vote of 60-40. This is much akin to the phrase one of my good friends and business associates has spun into a national speaking gig where he talks about eating an elephant. There simply is no way to eat this elephant in anything approaching a reasonable time...and without significant indigestion.
The World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
That is what the U.S. Senate has been called, more often than not by senators who are full of themselves...the world's greatest deliberative body.
This body was anything but deliberative during the so-called "debate" on health care reform. It was downright ugly; the senators did not redeem themselves through their actions nor in the final decision that was purchased using our tax dollars.
Christmas "Gifts"
This time of year has become, for me, a time to pay particular attention to the "gifts" I receive that weren't found in a store, or on-line. I haven't always been the introspective sort; I have done my share of chasing down a 'material fortune'; I have paid more attention to self than to others. Finally, I am becoming better able to see and value the gifts which have come to me that are more important and lasting than many others, and those include:
- having a friend whose son has learned that he doesn't have a debilitating disease and who can now resume a more ordinary life.
What Will It Take?
What will it take to make us remember 9/11? Will it take another version of 9/11? Will it take the staggering loss of lives that we witnessed on 9/11? Will it take an actual attempt, whether or not successful, on the seat of our nation's government? What other symbols can they hit which will have the effect of making us think they are a superior force.
Our self-avowed enemies remember that we have short institutional memories. They know that we've relaxed since 9/11, and they know that we'll continue to relax. They know they can continue to probe for weak spots such as connecting flights that tend to skirt more effective screening points. They know that we aren't as wary as we were on 9/12 and for a couple of years after. They know that we fret about airport security now and they know it is only a matter of time until we've complained sufficiently to have caused security to become quite lax comparatively.
Y2K Was Yesterday
Seems like the scare about the turn of the century, Y2K, was just yesterday. I must've suffered a semi-Rip VanWinkel moment. This century just started and it is already nearly ten years old.
What will happen to us and our world over the next decade? Will "global warming" have been solved or debunked? Will President Obama have been re-elected or will he be a one-term president? Will there continue to be terrorism threats to our homeland? Will our military still be engaged in the 'stans' in spite of the grand plan recently announced to win and come home? What will the U.S. Supreme court's make-up be? Will there still be a Pelosi and a Reid in the U.S. government? Will Sarah Palin still be a notable and will she still be a target?
Our Healthcare Future...
Two approaches to the future health care system exist and need to be made one before "reform" can be finalized and we can all begin the migration to our "new" health care system. It seems that the Senate's version will hold sway when the process has finished since that is the body which needed the greatest amount of "compromise" in order to deliver the necessary sixty votes (forget the payoffs that were part and parcel, for now). If the sixty votes were to unravel, the entire bill would be placed in significant jeopardy. That is, unfortunately, too much for which to hope. We need a 'do over' and it isn't going to happen.
So, what is our new health care system likely to contain and what is likely to disappear?
Quick Hits
The system worked...
Really? The system didn't work and the initial assertion that it did made the Obama Administration look silly; and worse, it made America the target du jour since it seems terrorists will be able to penetrate our defenses at will. Thank goodness for mis-firing underwear! Maybe the Administration can get this one fixed before it is too late, although the evidence so far seems to auger against that outcome.
Out With Old, In With The New...
We have a need, it seems, to usher out old years and to usher in new years. It must be that we seek the psychological effect of casting off that with which we're dissatisfied in favor of that which we 'know' has to be better than that we just finished.
2009 was a year just like any other year. There were people taken from us that caused us to stop and think of our own mortality...for an instant...before we resumed what it was we were doing without change. There were 'problems' for some that translated into 'opportunities' for others.

Welcome New Writers!
12/01/2012 § 6 Comments
In the spirit of new beginnings, the Hack Library School crew has inducted eight new contributing writers. We had a huge amount of interest and wanted to diversify the group as much as possible. We're very excited for you to meet our new bunch, so here we go!
Amy Frazier:
H! I'm a first-year MLS student at Emporia State University SLIM-Oregon in Portland, as well as a library assistant at Oregon Health and Science University, manning the circulation desk and slinging books. I'm still trying to decide between academic and special librarianship, but I love to be wherever librarianship is pushing against its traditional boundaries. I'm particularly interested in the uses of media in the library, as well as the ways in which our relationship to information is changing. But mostly I love connecting people to the information and knowledge they need. Check out my blog at www.sidelongcitation.com or follow me on Twitter: @sidelongcite
Celia Dillon:
I am about to begin my second semester at Queens College School of Library and Information Science, in Queens, New York.. I also currently teach first grade and hope to focus on School Media Studies in order to pursue a career as a school librarian. I am interested in technology and print literacy and how to give students in urban areas more access to both. I love anything that has to do with reading and recommending the perfect book, whether it be to students, friends or family. You can follow me on twitter at cadill08.

Auto Carpet
Auto Carpet Basics
Interior carpeting is one of the most overlooked aspects of your automobile, even though you step on it every time you get in and out of your car or truck. Few parts can directly affect how comfortable and happy you are with the interior of your vehicle like the carpet in your vehicle can. A bad carpet can ruin the overall appearance of your car or truck, reduce its worth, and stress you out while driving. New auto carpet will revitalize your interior and improve the level of satisfaction you have with your vehicle.
In addition to providing aesthetic benefits, auto carpet also provides functional benefits as well. Automotive carpeting covers the metal floor pans in your vehicle, and is held down by gravity, the seats, console, and all the trim around the edges. Without carpeting, the floor pans of the vehicle would be exposed, which in addition to not being very desirable to look at, would also not protect them from the elements and the people who get in and out of the vehicle, and the potential rust, mold and mildew that could develop as a result of an exposed and dirty metal floor. Carpet also makes the vehicle less hazardous to occupants by covering any sharp surfaces on the floor of the car or truck.
The interior carpet in your automobile also helps to reduce the vibration and noise that comes from your vehicle when you drive, especially at high speeds, making your drive a bit smoother. Lastly, carpets also act as a provider of heat insulation, keeping the inside of your car or truck warm in cold temperatures, and comfortable even in hotter climates.
Why Would I Need to Replace my Interior Automotive Carpeting?
Interior carpeting is the most vulnerable surface of a vehicle, yet it withstands the most contact and friction, second to only tires. Because carpet gets trampled on constantly and it is so exposed, it is not surprising that it shows the signs of aging and wear typically before other parts of the car or truck do. Even the most careful, meticulous vehicle owner cannot avoid eventual wear and tear of their auto carpet. Unsightly burns, stains, and fading from years of use are, unfortunately, inevitable.
Therefore, there are plenty of reasons to replace your vehicle's carpet. Removing an old carpet will provide you with a clean new look and feel for your vehicle. A new auto carpet replacement also cuts down on allergens that have accumulated in your carpet over time. This can reduce respiratory discomfort for asthmatics and those you know with allergies. Lastly, new automotive carpeting can also help to increase the resale value of your automobile if you ever decide to part with it.

If you have already purchased auto carpet from us, download and print our passenger car and pickup truck Auto Carpet Installation Guide (PDF) for tips on how to install properly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet:
Ordering FAQ:
1. Why should I request color samples?
The appearance of color samples shown on the computer are subject to different monitors, view angles, and even the lighting of the room you are in. If you are concerned with an exact match please email or call us to request samples at 888-844-3393 or 978-433-3393.
2. What colors are available for my vehicle?
Depending on the material, you can have a car carpet made in any color. The carpets are made to order so any color of carpet can be put into the proper mold and a new carpet is made. Even if we have to have your carpet custom made it will still be shipped out within three days of your order. Custom carpets are not returnable. All returnable carpets may be subject to a 15% restock fee.
3. Do you make carpets in custom colors?
Yes, generally there is an extra cost for custom automotive carpets. If you want a black carpet for your Honda, we can do it; if you want a purple carpet for your Chevy, we can do it; if you want a white (yes even white) carpet for your BMW, we can do it. We can have just about any carpet made in any color. Custom colors are not returnable and we require a credit card number and complete vehicle information before the carpet is shipped. There is a 50% surcharge to make a white carpet. This covers the special manufacturing processes in order to keep the carpet clean.
4. How do you know what color is correct for my vehicle?
The colors we list on the website are GOOD matches but we can not guarantee they EXACTLY match. Vehicles made in different factories or even different periods of the year can have different shades of carpet (see example below). If you are concerned about an EXACT match, please request samples by email or by calling us toll free at 888-844-3393 or 978-433-3393.
We have made it a practice to collect color samples to insure matching. Our thought is is that as we collect a sample, we can record a match and have a definite color on file, therefore the next customer will not need to send a sample. For example, we actually have three grey samples for a 1986 Ford Mustang car carpet. All three greys were a shade or two different and all three were made of different material.
5. What if the colors you have do not match my carpet sample well?
We will send you at least three color samples that are similar and let you decide. If you do not like any of the colors then we do not expect you to buy the carpet. We do not want to sell anything that you will not be happy with.
6. What materials are available?
The materials that are available are:
7. How can I be sure the carpet will fit my vehicle?
Simple - our manufacturer actually uses an original vehicle. The interior is stripped from the vehicle. An actual impression of the floor is made. The mold for the carpet is made from that impression. This insures proper fit.
8. What specifications will you need?
9. What comes in a carpet kit?
This depends on each carpet kit. In general our kits will include the same items as an original carpet set. Below are basic types of kits and what they may include:
10. Is this carpet in stock?
All of our interior automotive carpeting is made to order by ACC. This assures that your carpet is brand new, freshly molded, and the most correct pattern.
return to top
11. Does the carpet have insulation attached to it?
Yes, the carpets have a jute style insulation attached in the same general areas as the original. We recommend that you retain your old insulation if possible. The insulation on the new carpet can be thinner. Using both the old and the new will give you more sound and heat dampening. If your old insulation is ruined, you may want to consider putting down an additional layer as well as sound deadener.
12. Does the carpet have a rubber back to it?
Most of our regular priced carpets come with a poly (translucent) back. If your car originally had a black rubber back and you want to duplicate that backing then you need a Mass Backed carpet. Some newer applications come with the Mass Back standard, and that will be noted in the item title. If you want the extra sound and weather damping effect of Mass Back on any other Cutpile carpet it can be applied for an additional cost. When mass back is applied most carpets must then ship UPS Double Oversize so shipping will increase also. Many Mass Backed carpets cannot be shipped outside the 48 states.
13. Does the carpet come with padding?
The amount of padding may differ from the stock carpet, but these car carpets will come with padding under the foot wells. You may choose to reuse some of your old padding and the carpet will accept up to a 1/2" of additional padding underneath before it begins to cause installation issues.
14. How long does it take to receive my new carpet?
The carpets are made to order which takes 2-3 business days after the order is placed and confirmed. The carpets then ship by UPS, at which point tracking info will then be emailed to you. If you are in the lower 48 states you will receive a tracking number from UPS when the carpet ships out. After the carpet ships it could be 2-6 business days to get to your door. The total time will be 4-9 business days depending on where in the 48 states you live. If you live outside the 48 states it could be 2-6 weeks. Since these are made to order, we unfortunately cannot expedite shipping.
15. What is the return policy on carpets?
Carpets made in original colors (color is listed in drop menu of item) are eligible for return up to 1 year after order date. Carpets may not be cut, altered or glued in any way. Please inspect your carpet when you receive it. A 15% restocking fee will apply. Custom auto carpets made in a color not listed on our web page are not returnable.
16. What happens if the carpet does not fit?
Hopefully this will not occur but accidents can happen that cause you to either get the wrong carpet or a poor fitting carpet. In the event that the carpet does not fit we will take care of it. A call tag will be issued, the carpet is picked up and either fixed or a replacement carpet is sent.
17. How are your floor mats constructed?
The floor mats are manufactured using the same pattern as the original manufacturer used. This result is a shape that fits. The mats are made of the same high quality carpet as our carpet sets. They have a cleated rubber backing and they are bound around the edges with vinyl. If you are ordering a carpet set and floor mats together they are made from the same color for a perfect match unless otherwise specified. If you just want to order a set of mats we usually have colors on file that will roughly match your interior. If you want an exact match we recommend calling or emailing us for samples. If you would like a logo embroidered on your mats we have a variety to choose from.
Installation FAQ:
Download and print our passenger car and pickup truck Auto Carpet Installation Guide (PDF).
1. Do these carpets come ready to install?
While the carpet will come pre-molded to the factory floor plan, it will not include any cuts. You will need to trim any excess around the edges and make slits for shifters, seats, and belts. We recommend using your old car carpet as a template to make sure cuts are made correctly. Since the carpet comes rolled up for easier shipping, it will need to rest outside of the box for at least 24 hours. This will allow the carpet to regain most of its shape prior to installation.
2. Will I have to cut the carpet out?
Cutting will be required. For standard car and truck carpets, a good pair of scissors will cut the carpet and insulation if necessary. If you are ordering a Mass Back carpet, a very good pair of scissors and/or a sharp utility knife are more appropriate. The carpets come pre-cut to the shape of the floor pan. The manufacturer does leave extra material. We would rather you have to cut a little more than have a carpet that does not cover well. The carpets do not come cut out for shifters, high beam switches, seat bases etc. This allows for aftermarket and custom parts if desired. In some cases the listing will specify with console or with cutouts, in these instances the carpet has been cut to accommodate original equipment.
3. My shifter (or other item) sticks up so I can't lay the carpet down to make sure it fits before I cut it, what do I do?
DO NOT CUT A HOLE FIRST. Lay the carpet in the vehicle starting in an unobstructed area. 'Roll' the carpet up to the base of the shifter or item. Make a SMALL SLIT in the carpet where it hits the item then install the carpet. It is much easier to hide a slit in a carpet if you make a mistake than it is to hide a big hole. The carpet should go in and the item/shifter goes through the slit so the carpet will lay down. Continue to only slit the carpet around the item or shifter so you can move it in to it's final position. Only once you are sure you have the entire carpet where you want it then make a cut out for the item/shifter. Always start small. You'll be much happier in the end if you have to enlarge the hole 2 or 3 times then if make a mistake and have to cover a big hole. If you happen to make a slit in the wrong place you can either duct tape the back of the carpet or use heavy thread and needle to sew the slit.
4. Additional installation tips
If your carpet is not already cut out after removing the seats, seat belts and other items, replace the hardware, screws, bolts etc. so that when you lay the carpet in the vehicle, you can easily locate them under the car carpet. This way you will be able to make accurate slits in the carpet to ease reinstallation of these items.

White Smoke IN-12
The White Smoke Series consists of three models, White Smoke IN-12, White Smoke IN-74 and White Smoke MC-72, each a classic shape proven to please the eye. Their tour-proven white finish eliminates glare and "hot spots" on the crown while contrasting sharply with the turf to make aiming easy.
To further aid alignment, each model incorporates three black alignment lines on top to reinforce the player's ability to easily detect when the putterface is square to the target-line, promoting more accurate putts.
Every White Smoke Series putter is equipped with TaylorMade's tour-proven PureRoll face insert, which promotes forwardspin at impact for a smooth, accurate roll. And because the PureRoll insert is constructed of Surlyn, the feel and sound is remarkably soft, yet acute.
- White crown color eliminates glare; high contrast with turf makes aiming easy
- Three clear black alignments lines on the crown reinforce easy alignment
- Surlyn PureRoll insert promotes forwardspin for smooth, accurate roll and beautifully soft feel
- Three classic shapes: IN-12, IN-74, MC-72

Comments about TaylorMade White Smoke IN-12:
I was reluctant to put down my TM Rossa Siena 4 because I couldn't find anything better until I tried White Smoke. I need multiple alignment cues and this putter is perfect.

MOUNT PLEASANT - The men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Madison, Wis., for the Badger Opener Friday, which will serve as the debut for a number of the teams' top runners.
The Chippewas will compete against two other teams - host Wisconsin and Edgewood College, in addition to unattached runners - at the Zimmer Championship Course, the site of the Great Lakes Regional meet later this season. Though the Badgers likely won't run their top student-athletes, the men's team is the defending national champion in cross country.
The 5k women's race begins at 6 p.m., and the 8k men's race starts at 6:30 p.m.
Both the men's and women's teams will feature seven runners, 14 in total. Making their season debuts on the women's side will be two-time All-Mid-American Conference honoree junior Krista Parks and seniors Maddie Ribant and Veronica Garcia.
The men's race will serve as the season debut for back-to-back first-team All-MAC senior Jason Drudge, sophomore Kyle Stacks and senior Matt Lutzke. Stacks was the top-finishing freshman in the Great Lakes Regional meet in 2011.
A recap and complete results can be found at CMUChippewas.com following the completion of the meet.

Before you press the power button, let's talk about what kind of gamer you are. A casual player who indulges in the occasional bout of Solitaire or Bejeweled? An active part of a multiplayer community? A hardcore gamer with controller calluses on both thumbs?
Whatever their level of obsession, more gamers choose to build ancient civilizations, blast aliens, and storm battlefields on the Windows platform than any other. Whether you're just getting started or have a screen full of high scores, there are additions and enhancements in Windows 7 that will help you level up your on-screen and online gaming experience.
Let's warp directly to the features…
DirectX 11 is the latest generation of graphics technology, an update that brings increasingly realistic gameplay to newer releases like Medal of Honor and Tom Clancy's HAWX 2, while enhancing your enjoyment of classic shooters and MMORPGs.
It's easy to get lost in the improved on-screen effects—the razor-sharp graphics, detailed backgrounds, and ultra-lifelike characters.
But you don't have to be exploring alien worlds to see the benefit from DirectX 11. You'll also notice its speed and performance when you're editing video that you shot here on earth.
Buying a game in the real world requires hassles like wearing shoes and leaving the house. But downloading those same games from the Games for Windows Marketplace*—on the same day they appear on store shelves—doesn't take more than the click of a button.
The Marketplace has an increasingly long list of titles, from hot new releases to exclusive content that you can't find anywhere else.
Let your friends go to the store. You'll be exploring the Batcave or battling in the Pacific before they even make it out of the driveway.
Have you ever downloaded a new game and then spent more time trying to find it on your PC than you spent looking for the lost treasure or hidden bonus levels? With the Games Explorer in Windows 7, getting started with a game is so easy that even the n00biest of n00bies can do it.
When you enter Games in the search box, you'll be able to get to every medieval quest, every World War II mission, and every alien planet you've installed on your PC. Games Explorer also shows you each title's rating, your current stats, and any available updates.
But before you even peel the plastic off a new game, you'll already have a solid library of Windows favorites: Hearts, Minesweeper, two kinds of Solitaire. You'll also find three online multiplayer games, so you can challenge your Internet-based friends to Backgammon, Checkers, and Spades.
Just because you have games that are old favorites doesn't mean they need to be old versions. Games Explorer will notify you when an update is available for one of your titles and will guide you to the correct one. It can also track your wins, losses, and other fun stats.
One of the best parts of gaming is playing online, where you can compete against or team up with players that could be on the other side of the room or on the opposite side of the world.
With Games for Windows—LIVE**, you can connect with other gamers via voice chat and text chat and collaborate to earn achievements and explore new worlds.
If you already have an Xbox 360, you can sign in with the same account information, import your friend list, and spend your Microsoft points. If you don't have an account, you don't have to be left out for long: creating one is quick, easy, and free.
One of the most popular Windows-only adventures has been Age of Empires—and the latest installment takes it to the next level, so tell the Sphinx to hang on to his nose.
Age of Empires is now online, part of Games for Windows—LIVE**. The newest Age will satisfy longtime rulers and new pharaohs alike. The online version keeps the familiar real-time strategy and historical settings of the previous Ages, but now you'll have the ability to play with or against other would-be world-beaters. You can team up to earn rewards and turn your pint-sized villages into global superpowers, but—in the immortal words of Julius Caesar—"Watch your back, bro."
Busy parents don't always have time to peek over their kids' shoulders to monitor what they're doing on the PC.
That's where Windows 7 can help. You can use the built-in Parental Controls to monitor and restrict the games your children can play, what they're allowed to buy, and which gaming sites they can visit. It can be a scary virtual world, but this is a way to ensure that the only red splatters they see are from the glass of grape juice they just spilled on the keyboard. You can also restrict the times they can play those parentally-approved games, limiting them to the hours after their homework or before lights out.
Video games have evolved from hulking, free-standing arcade games to 3D worlds you can enter from your living room. Those old-school, 8-bit versions used to wait until you'd run out of quarters before flashing a screen that said "Would you like to play again?" Now thanks to Windows 7 features like DirectX 11 and games like Age of Empires Online, my answer will always be an enthusiastic "Yes!"

The bulletin of Atlanta University

For statement of the work of Atlanta University see last page. COMMENCEMENT WEEK The weather was unusually comfortable and the attendance large, during the thirty-sixth anniversary exercises. Public Day at Oglethorpe School This was a new feature, and was largely attended by friends from the city, as well as by our teachers and more advanced students. From 9 to 11 Friday forenoon the exercises of the kindergarten and four grades were going on, and the work of the children inspected. Of especial interest was the exhibition of the industrial art work, of the two normal classes, courses in which had been given them as preparation for their work in teaching. The splendid advantages for practical work in teaching, offered by the Oglethorpe School, were plainly evident during the exercises of this public day. Phi Kappa Anniversary The address of the evening was given by Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Weaver, pastor of the Radcliffe Presbyterian church in this city. He called attention to some dangers connected with the higher education and showed how they might be avoided, and dwelt upon the splendid opportunities open to those who have had the benefits of the advanced courses of study. His subject was, Some Effects of the Higher Education and Its Value in Practical Life. It was an able and helpful address. The Sunday Services Extracts from the baccalaureate sermon by President Bumstead are given elsewhere. The prayer meeting at night was of especial interest. All of the members of the graduating classes have the Christian hope. Class Night Exercises These were a decided innovation this year, the graduating classes presenting Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. The participants had been carefully trained by Mrs. Herndon, and the result was a very excellent presentation of the drama. An admission charge did not prevent a full house. Tenth Annual Conference This is fully reported elsewhere. Alumni Meeting One year ago a friend, whose name was not given, offered one hundred dollars for a permanent fund in case the graduates would raise four hundred. They accepted the responsibility, and by earnest efforts succeeded in raising the amount needed, and a little more. They are planning to raise five hundred dollars another year. Of interest in this connection is the fact that there had been received by the institution, only a few days before, the first legacy from a graduate, fifty dollars from Miss Fannie T. Habersham ('96). After the business meeting the alumni held a public meeting, addressed by Pres. B. F. Allen ('94) of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., on the Spirit of Modern Education. All were glad to hear him, in this able address. The banquet followed, presided over by W. B. Matthews ('90), and addressed also by Pres. Bumstead, Prof DuBois, Miss Chlora L. White ('85), L. M. Hershaw ('86), H. H. Pace ('03), and J. O. Ross for the non-graduates. Commencement Exercises These passed off successfully in every respect. The graduating classes, eight in the college course and ten in the normal, were represented by four speakers from each course. The first and second honors were assigned, in the college, to Carrie Beatrice King and Truman Kella Gibson, and in the normal class to Minnie L. Tripp and Lucille M. McLendon. College honors were announced, to the class of 1905, with High Honor, Carrie Beatrice King; with Honor, Truman Kella Gibson and Edward Charles Williams. To the class of 1907, with High Honor, Mamie Lucinda Abrams; with Honor, Charles Columbus Cater. Extracts from Mr. Hershaw's commencement address are given on another page. President's Reception This was the closing exercise of the week, and was attended by a very large number. The members of the Junior classes, college and normal, gave a reception to the teachers and members of the senior classes at the Model Home, May 19. THE TENTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE The Atlanta Conference to study the Negro problems celebrated its tenth anniversary at Atlanta University, Tuesday, May 30, 1905. President Horace Bumstead presided and Prof. W. E. Burghardt DuBois acted as corresponding secretary. Three public sessions were held. In the morning there were addresses by Mr. L. M. Hershaw, of Washington, D. C, Mr. W. T. B. Williams, of the General Education Board, Hampton, Va., and Rev. Dr. C. B. Wil-mer of Atlanta. Mr. Hershaw in speaking on the subject, Reasons for a Systematic Study of the Negro, said in part: The systematic study of the Negro which has been carried on. under the direction of this conference for the past ten years is a departure from previous methods of study. Prior to the work done here, there had been no constant effort guided by scientific principles to study the Negro. Everybody had felt that already he knew the Negro, and hence was competent to talk about him. The consequence has been that persons whose training and information would not entitle them to an opinion on any other subject, have had no reluctance to talk and write volubly and dogmatically on this; and they have not been without their audience of eager and receptive listeners. The systematic study of the Negro has in a measure placed an embargo on these reckless and uninformed talkers. The only way to study any subject is according to a system based upon settled and accepted principles of investigation. Rev. Dr. Wilmer, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church in this city, said, among other things, that it was remarkable bow long it had taken the world to learn the simple truth that the best way to study anything is to study it systematically. He said that he considered Atlanta University as a pioneer in this kind of study in respect to the Negro problem. He insisted that the work that had been done was truly scientific, because there was an honest endeavor to get at the truth, even when the facts discovered were unpleasant. He thought the work was so thorough and so valuable that it ought to be supported by the United States government. At two o'clock in the afternoon two Continued on page 4.
