Still Waiting For My Refund
Posted by Nomotoad on 03/20/2009
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- Paid Home Relief Services $2000 in October 2008, first loan modification was submitted to my lender December 2008. First modification was denied January 2009, my lender denied second modification at the end of February. I filled out a refund request form 02-28-2009. They sent an settlement agreement for us to sign, we returned signed document 03-03-2009. I was told it would take 10 business days to receive our refund. As of 03-20-2009, we have still not received our refund. I've been told no one is available to sign the check.
Also, I've been informed I will be escorted off the premises should I show up at their offices.

Sue them in small claims court. They promised you a refund, now they are obligated to give you one.
As for this part:
"I've been informed I will be escorted off the premises should I show up at their offices."
Now that is just wrong, especially since they are illegally holding your money hostage.
You may need to pay extra for a police officer to deliver the court papers.

Hey SC, can't you think of any other advice to offer?
Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-03-20:
Soaring, they have every right to deny the OP access to their property, it's called trespassing, and is a legitimate action for a company to take against "hostile" customers. Many companies do not have "storefronts", but do business via mail, e-mail, or phone.
The OP does have a right for an explanation, and possibly a claim against them.
Posted by Slimjim on 2009-03-20:
If your Agreement with them stipulates this refund and they contractually do owe you, this is the type of company/service that filing a BBB and Attorney General complaint(s) can be effective. Service companies do rely on their BBB report to reinforce their credentials and AG departments watch financial transaction business closely.
And Soaring, the police don't serve lawsuit papers in any case. This is a civil matter, not criminal.
Posted by Soaring Consumer on 2009-03-20:
Yes, jktshff1, my emotions sometimes get the best of me sometimes. And yes Slimjim, this is civil, not criminal, my mistake. Voted both of your comments helpful.
This would better help regarding the process of serving court papers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_of_process
Posted by nomotoad on 2009-03-20:
For serving civil small claims, it is possible to pay a fee to have an officer serve the papers. Contractually, they are obligated to pay all refunds within 10 business days (per their contract) from the date te request was submitted. In my case that was 02/28/2009. I see others here have similar situations with HRS. I contacted them all to let them know I know someone that has offered to send KCBS and/or KCA to investigate this company. I also filed a claim with the State Attorney General this week.

Want My Money Back
Posted by Littlerose on 04/22/2009
On Oct of 08, wanting help with a loan modification, paid upfront to the company, to this day, they did not do anything, there is no longer a web site/no phone numbers to reach them. It has been 7 months and nothing.

Do people not try their loan company or the bank holding their mortgage before going to these modification companies. I guess do not understand what these type of companies can do for you that perhpaps the loan holder could not do.

Did you get anything in writing about what happens to the money if they don't do anything?
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-04-19:
There is a huge problem with these loan mod companies right now. They are taking deposits from people that the people can get help for free in many cases and vanashing into the night.

Loan Modification
Posted by Geras on 04/08/2009
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- This people did nothing to help out with loan modification, submitted to them thru Infinity Financial Alliance. Both companies blame each other for lack of results. Even though we have a binding contract to refund my monies if no results are made. It's now 6 months since I submitted my loan modification and I can't recover over 3,000.00 from an already cashed check.
This is are deceiving companies, ripping people off, from what little monies they have. Be careful.

Don't ever pay anyone up front, usually their fees are so high and they will do nothing for you. The Attorney Generals Office has so many law suits against these companies. What these places are charging you, you can do for free or there is organizations out there that will do it for free. HOPE for home owners is one of them. Look them up. Also most of the loans being modified are Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans, check to see if you are backed by any of these two.

They Scam Me As Well
Posted by Frankman1234 on 03/30/2009
TRACY, CALIFORNIA -- I was sucked into trying to save my home through these scammers. They told my wife they would lower the principle to match the current home values which had dropped in value by 50%. We filled out their paperwork on our debts and what we could afford as a monthly amount. Which was 1800.00 per month. Now if it was unrealistic then they should tell you that that would not work. Anyway they took 3000.00 up front stating if their lawyers could not negotiate what we had put, they would refund they money of 2500.00.
I called several times to speak to [snip] who gave me the run a round by saying they lawyers are still at the negotiating table.
What they did was lower the interest rate only. Then they said they never said they would lower the principle amount. It became a yes you did and [snip] says no I didn't. [snip] spoke with my wife and I was the one trying to follow up on where our 3000.00 went. She never gave a strait answer. Deny Everything is what they do. They sent us their new payment documents. They were unacceptable to us. Their lawyer calls my wife and intimidated her for she felt what could she say against some crook lawyer. I have been looking for others who were taken by Home Relief Services. I did notice their website no longer exist. These are crooked people who took advantage of our situation and caused us to ultimately lose our home and now looking at bankruptcy. If I could get my money back it would help. Frankman1234

HRS Is A Scam
Posted by BEEN SCREWD BY HRS ALSO on 03/18/2009
I also used Home Relief Services and they have owed me a refund since November 2008. I keep getting the run around and blown off. I can't afford to take this money as a loss. I really didn't have it if I would have I would not have needed them in the first place.

Can you share some more details for those of us that aren't familiar with what HRS is/does? Thanks!
Posted by BEEN SCREWD BY HRS ALSO on 2009-03-19:
Posted by RestaurantGuy on 2009-03-19:
Please stop with the caps. JC was simply asking you for details on who they are. No need to yell
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-03-19:
LOL, thanks RG..this reminds me of when I'm having a conversation with someone and ask for more details and they speak louder, assuming I didn't hear them the first time.
Anyway, BSBHA..if HRS owes you a refund and have been giving you the runaround for this long, and you have all the paperwork that shows you are owed the refund, speak to someone in upper management, let them know that you are giving them x amount of days to resolve and send your refund, or you will be forced to take legal action in order to get your money back. Send a certified letter as well. This will usually work and if it doesn't and you do need to take legal action, you can also sue them for any additional costs you incurred to take them to court, plus interest on your refund. Good luck, I hope you get your money back soon!

"These thank you notes were beautiful and matched the invitations perfectly, The paper was ver thick and of high quality. The only thing that was a little odd was the font was a brownish color. I don't remember having the option to change the font, but if there is one I would recommend changing the color to a black or gray."
"Very simple beautiful card, I really love it, I did the 'thank you' in brown and then made the blue the name of my son, looked great!! High;y love this card and the quality"
"I like this card because we are using it for a co-ed baby shower thank you card, for our little boy to be. My husband thought these were 'cool' enough for our guy guests, not too cutesy and frilly, but adorable. I agree!"
"These cards were bought as a gift for a friend for Christmas. She loved them and especially loved the fact that they were personalized, it shows that it is the thought that counts! Great price and great product!"

SOURCE CommonWell Health Alliance
Nation's leading integrated pharmacy health care provider will help support and advance the Alliance's interoperability initiatives
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CommonWell Health Alliance (the "Alliance") – the health information technology (HIT) vendor-led interoperability effort – announced today that CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS) has joined as one of the newest Contributing Members of the organization. CVS Caremark, the largest integrated pharmacy health care provider in the U.S., joins founding members Allscripts, athenahealth, Cerner, CPSI, Greenway, McKesson and Sunquest and service provider RelayHealth in the Alliance's work.
As the Alliance grows over time, participation by organizations such as CVS Caremark will help providers easily and securely access prescription information, enabling a more holistic view of the patient, with the goal of providing better care and increased patient and consumer safety. Through the Alliance, pharmacies and health care providers will be able to better connect with the broader health ecosystem.
"As pharmacies play an increasingly important role in the delivery of health care and pharmacists become more engaged in advising and counseling patients, there will be more opportunities to improve health outcomes through better data sharing across the provider community," said CVS Caremark Chief Medical Officer Troyen A. Brennan, M.D., M.P.H. "CommonWell will be well-positioned to help deliver real-time pharmacy-based information into physician practices to help identify opportunities to coordinate care and will help the pharmacist deliver care-based messages back to patients."
CVS Caremark will join CommonWell as a Contributing Member, building upon the foundation of the Alliance's structure and working with RelayHealth to embed these services natively into its pharmacy system.
"We are thrilled to have CVS Caremark join the CommonWell Health Alliance; they are a terrific complement to our existing membership and their decision to join is testament to the work we've accomplished over the past year," said Jeremy Delinsky, chairman of the board for the CommonWell Health Alliance and chief technology officer, athenahealth. "As an alliance, we look forward to working with CVS Caremark, recruiting and welcoming new members, and most importantly advancing the state of interoperability across health care."
If you are at HIMSS14, please join CommonWell Health Alliance at 12:30 pm ET today at CommonWell's booth #1389 as we welcome our new members and hear first-hand how they are planning to contribute to the universal interoperability mission.
The members of CommonWell Health Alliance invite health IT suppliers and others in support of our vision to join us in working together to provide trusted access to health information, in support of better, more cost-effective care for our patients and communities. Starting in July 2014, CommonWell will be offering two primary membership opportunities: Contributing and General Members. For more information on these membership levels, visit the CommonWell Health Alliance website or stop by CommonWell booth #1389 at HIMSS14.
About CommonWell Health AllianceCommonWell Health Alliance is a not-for-profit trade association of health IT companies working together to create universal access to health care data. The Alliance is open to all health information technology providers who are committed to making patient's data available to themselves and providers regardless of where care occurs. Alliance members support the belief that provider access to this data must be built into health information technologies at a reasonable cost for use by a broad range of health care providers and the populations and people they serve.

Quick History: Shaker Design
One of the principal tenets of the Shaker faith was the idea of freedom from desire. Obviously sexual desire was off the table, but so was acquisitive, materialistic desire, rendered irrelevant by the communal way of life, and by the Shaker emphasis on asceticism, cleanliness, simplicity and function. At the same time, the Shakers strove for perfection in their work, so that they might help create the perfect world that would herald God's return.
The material culture of the Shakers, then, was completely aligned with these values. They made all their own furniture and furnishings, from brooms and baskets to beds and benches. Their dwellings were communal, and built with the hope that their communities might expand, so they were spacious and airy. Furniture was simple, with forms like ladder-back chairs based on rural vernacular furniture from the 18th century. Shaker craftsmen made their furniture out of lightweight woods like pine, so furniture could be easily picked up and moved around. In many Shaker dwellings, a peg rail ran around the room at shoulder level, offering places to hang chairs, bonnets or baskets, an ingenious way of keeping the floors clean and the place tidy. Orderly built-in cabinets and drawers also pushed storage as far back to the walls as possible.
But despite this philosophy of tidiness and asceticism, Shaker furniture is not without the occasional decorative flourish. Even the simplest chairs have elegantly turned legs or shapely slats and acorn or flame finials. The Shakers were also brilliant innovators, and one of their lasting inventions was the ball-and-socket tilting foot for chairs, a version of which is still in use today.
Shaker interest in efficiency made them open to technological advances in farming implements, in kitchen tools and in furniture production. Shaker craftsmen had to adopt and innovate efficient production methods in order to meet the demands of their communities. The resulting speed of their production, as well as the pride they took in their careful work, made their products popular with non-Shakers, as well, creating an income stream for the Shaker colonies. By the end of the 19th century, especially with the influence of William Morris and the Arts & Crafts movement, the simple vernacular aesthetic of Shaker furniture was a compelling and authentic alternative to the ornate excesses of the post-Industrial world.
The early 20th century saw the rise of Modernism, whose form-follows-function simplicity echoed Shaker values. Several Modernist furniture makers found direct inspiration in Shaker examples, including icons like George Nakashima and Hans Wegner, who offer a visual and intellectual bridge between Shaker, Scandinavian and Japanese vernacular design.
For those of us who aren't hewing our own trestle tables, we can find inspiration in the simple comfort of Shaker dwellings and in the beauty that can be found in order and neatness. And for those of us (guilty!) whose tastes and proclivities don't run to the simple and orderly, we can at least find inspiration in the Shaker dedication to a set of values and ideals, and aim someday to have our own homes offer us a similar harmony.

AT, how did you know I was in a Shaker mood??
What I would do to have that chest at the foot of the bed in the first picture. Shaker furniture has always been in a tie with mid-century modern as my favorite. I adore clean, simple lines in my furniture and I abhor a bunch of froo-froo.
I was lucky enough to be a part of a Shakers Studies course in high school which had the honor of being in close proximity of the last living Shaker village. The course was welcomed by the Shakers and they allowed us to tour their village once a week for a year, to learn as much as we could about them. It was amazing to experience so much Shaker design first hand. I guess this exlains my recent love for Modernist furniture.

Please select a date:
Tour Name
Angel Falls & Orinocco
Tour Code
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
Chance to get up close to lots of wildlife.
Tour Leader Name
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
An exceptional cook and a master of world music. Very friendly and helpful.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Cover up to avoid being insect bitten. The animals are here and so are the bugs. Cushion is essential for boat travel, up to angel falls the canoe is basic and you sit on a plank for several hours. Even though explore recomend a raincoat I think a poncho is best. Theres water on floor and when you enter the rapids its like someone throwing buckets of water over you.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
We only saw a handful of tourists which makes this remote and adventurous. It probably also means relatively unspoilt. Some facilities are basic but intertwined with good standard hotels. If you swim the gorge at kavac the guides bring proper drybags for your valuables but you may like to take your own to cover rainy showers elsewhere and on the canoe. If you've never seen a flock of scarlet ibis gathering in a small round tree to decorate it like a Christmas tree its well worth it. If you like spotting birds you'll be blown away. I'm more into mammmals and was in awe at the two families of wild giant otters we got close to.
Steve Gilbert
Tour Name
Angel Falls & Orinocco
Tour Code
What Was The Highlight Or Most Memorable Moment Of Your Tour
See Angel Falls from the bottom as the sun was on it. The misty clouds of vapour creating a rainbow. Or maybe (but I'm not a birdwatcher) seeing the wildlife at Los Llanos. I had no idea there were big flocks of birds all Unnatuarlly or impossibly Bright Red (scarlet Ibis)flying across the deep blue sky.
Tour Leader Name
How Was Your Explore Tour Leader
Carlucco was full of enthusiasm and energy. He was in his element camping away from cities and airports. He was the best camp cook I've had on any tour, inventive and tasty were all his meals. His pitfall was the stress he encountered at airports when the officials are too quick to be intimidating bullies who change the rules to suit themselves.
What Tips Would You Give To Someone Else Booking This Tour
Firstly watch the exchange rate. There was an official rate of 6 bolivars to the dollar or an unofficial rate of 20-36 to the dollar. Research first so you don't get ripped off. It's also relevant that at time of us going they accepted bolivars in airport duty free at a rate of about 6. So things listed in bolivars (which was everything) were cheap but items bought in dollars were extortionate. No cigarette duty free. Secondly and maybe more importantly - you will get bitten by bugs. Deet was effective against mosquitoes but they were few. Sand flies, ants and horsefly types were many and very hungry. Take more tan one repellent see what works, but preferably keep covered up.
Do You Have Anything Else To Add
The Bavarian town at end was very pleasant, very chocolate boxy but weather is cool. It rained when we visited and perhaps would have been outstanding if it were sunny.

Last week, the House of Representatives approved HB 326, which I co-sponsored as a member of the House Game, Fish & Parks Committee.
What a waste! Johnny Isakson has announced for a second term in the U.S. Senate. He should be re-elected without much trouble. Instead of going for the Senate again, however, he ought to run for governor.
At its halfway mark, the legislature this week took steps in the areas of homeowner tax relief, job creation, economic development and food safety.
I've always been of the mind that new stuff is cool, and it never seems to bother me that the new stuff isn't always better.
Regarding the cash infusions that Congress approved last fall to shore up the U.S. banking industry, one thing is important to remember. That is that it will take time for those cash infusions to work their way through the lending system and get "into the streets."
The House of Representatives voted Thursday on two pieces of legislation that would take revenue decisions out of the hands of local government by freezing or limiting annual property assessment valuations.
Republicans fought an inspired battle against the stimulus bill, holding all but three of their 219 senators and congressmen. And they still lost.
One sure sign we are facing hard times: The usually suave and gentle corporate lobbyists are beginning to show their fangs.
This week in the Georgia Senate we began an aggressive new legislative schedule, continued to work to balance the budget, and also took up the controversial Georgia Power Nuclear Financing Act.
As your elected state representative, it's my duty to be honest and truthful to the people I represent. Today, I want to explain and clarify the current economic situation in Georgia.
It's funny how life sometimes brings you surprises. When I first moved down to Liberty County, 22 years ago, I had no washer or dryer (and little furniture), although the utility room attached to the house I bought had connections.
Well now, wouldn't you think the No. 1 judge in the country could get it right the first time? I'm sure you all know by now that I'm talking about the swearing in ceremony of one President Barack Obama by Chief Big Daddy John Roberts of the Supreme Court of the USA.
Among the taxes Georgians pay, the property tax rises to the top of "most hated." It is not the tax that takes the most money from Georgians, nor is it a tax that sends relatively large sums of money to the Gold Dome in Atlanta or to Washington. Nevertheless, Georgians despise paying taxes on their land.

Roy Barnes has not even announced for governor, yet the ex-guv has already offered a sound proposal for protecting the people from their lawmakers. It ought to be topic No. 1 in the coming political campaigns, even if lawyer Barnes decides not to toss his fedora back into the ring.
Even by my impossibly high standards, this has been a good week. It began with a whack upside the head from a reader in South Georgia after I opined that those who want to change the way we teach our children in public schools ought to have their kids in public schools. I was referring to the efforts led by Sen. William Ligon, R-Brunswick, to overturn the Common Core curriculum in the recent legislative session.
Having had time to reflect on the recently completed 2014 session of the Georgia General Assembly, it is with great regret that I have to say it was the most embarrassing performance by your state legislature that I can remember.
Sometimes, I think I focus too much on the litter. But it is the nature of what I do.
Editor, I travel a lot and have written on the subject of gun rights before. Recently in Atlanta, they locked down a school because a neighbor was squirrel hunting nearby. Those people in Sandy Hook, Conn., are getting a new school because one of their own citizens committed murder there. Pretty soon, local commissioners are going to be sending drones through the community to look for zoning violations.
Editor, April marks the nation's "Month of the Military Child" - a time to honor youth and their service to our country. On Tuesday, April 15, as a visible way to show support and thank military children for their strength and sacrifices, the public is invited to "Purple Up! For Military Kids." Everyone in the community is encouraged to wear purple shirts, scarves, shoes, buttons and pants. If it's purple, or can be turned purple, make it happen.
It happened recently - the 20th anniversary of stock-car racer Davey Allison's death. Maybe you remember him. Maybe you don't. But I shall never forget him.
There is nothing more important than the safety and protection of innocent children. Not constitutional rights, not animal rights, not thoughts, opinions, feelings or political beliefs. The lives of children must be given top priority.

Gaddafi stood by his ideas and died as a martyr, believes Sukant Chandan, a journalist and spokesman for British Civilians for Peace in Libya.
He says however cruel that death was, the colonel wanted to battle in the trenches against neo-colonialism and NATO. So he died as he wanted, fighting for Libya. And as for the country's opposition, it had been always closely tied to the West, Chandan adds.
"When you nationalize your oil, when you redistribute your wealth, build your country up to be with the highest living standards in Africa, inevitably, those forces which are against that development, both internally and internationally, will oppose you. Libyan rebel factions have always been in alliance with the EU powers against Gaddafi", the journalist said.

Lit. "dedication." The 8-day "Festival of Lights" celebrated beginning on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev to commemorate the victory of the Jews over the Seleucid army in 164 B.C.E., the re-purification of the Temple and the miraculous eight days the Temple candelabrum remained lit from one cruse of undefiled oil which would have been enough to keep it burning for only one day.

My boyfriend and I are regulars at MEALS BY GENET, our favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Los Angeles. The food is fantastic, and the family-style plates, veggie-friendly options and utensil-free dining make for a uniquely enjoyable culinary experience with friends. For those who want a change from the more popular ethnic cuisines like Thai or Indian, this place is a must-try!ReplyDeleteReplies

Slurp slurp... one of the best places to slurp away on some delicious ramen is at Tsujita LA where you can enjoy one of Japan's latest crazes. This style of Tsukemen ramen is enjoyed by dipping individual bites of ramen noodle into a delicious bowl of broth. If you like eggs or even if you don't, make sure you add the soft boiled egg. Squeezing lime onto the noodles is my favorite part!ReplyDelete
Hakata Ramen in Little Tokyo is a true culinary trailblazer. Where else can you customize every aspect of your noodle-y experience? I take favorite elements of my top spots (Asahi's dumplings, Tsujita's hard noodles, and Daikokuya's fatty broth) and combine it into one intoxicatingly unhealthy meal.ReplyDelete
Every time I walk in, I say a little prayer to the noodle gods to thank Hakata's chefs for their skill in creating countless combinations of ramen ingenuity.
Josef Centeno seems to be the latest up and coming chef making a mark in the LA food scene. From the Mediterranean inspired Baco Mercat to the Tex-Mex infused items at Bar Ama, Centeno makes distinct cultural influences his culinary signature. Any dish at either of his restaurants will take a guest on a worldly experience, accompanied by a flavorful punch sure to make an impression. More is sure to come in his culinary future.ReplyDelete
Naya sunset. Naya is a sanskrit word for 'New'. This Indian restaurant has a club like room with lounges, a beautiful restaurant decorated with white sarees, and an outdoor patio. The food is authentic north Indian - bursting of spices and colors, yet very innovative. I really enjoyed their Chocolate Samosa - a sweet twist on an indian classic. The staff is very pleasing and courteous, and there is street and valet parking.ReplyDelete
Can't make it to Mt. Everest? Try Tara's Himalayan Cuisine instead. Their delicious servings of curries, naan, and momos are good for lunch or dinner. If you're going for lunch, the lunch sets are the route to take. For dinner, be adventurous and order a variety of their offerings. Ten percent of Tara's profits go toward rebuilding a school in Nepal.ReplyDeleteReplies
I frequented that place when it was near my home in Woodland Hills. It has now relocated. Cannot go there as often as I wish to. Nepalese food is very close to Indian food, and this was one of the best Nepalase food I had ever tasted.Delete
EVA Restaurant is my favorite place to dine in LA! EVA's a brunch HOTSPOT! EVA purchases their food from local farms, so they give back to the community, by supporting local businesses. From taste to presentation, EVA is a cut above the rest. It provides intimacy, yet Mark Golds staff does a great job of making you feel like you're apart of the cast of "Cheers." For that reason I am an addict!!!ReplyDelete
Hot, savory, steamy and deliciously soft bread at Bouchon Bevery Hills. I have dreams about it and then day dreams about their tarts and macarons. Too bad it's bad for my wallet and teeth. I guess I put my dental money to Bouchon's Pastry Chef, Alen Ramos.ReplyDeleteReplies

Barney's Rubble
From Word formatting issues to Firefox problems to Windows 7 fizzling out, here's Doug's current top tech peeves.
The world of technology is complex, and with complexity come glitches and gotchas. Here are my biggest offenders.
Word Formatting: I've been using Word for nigh on 20 years, and I still feel too stupid to use it properly. My beef? Unless you had a past life as a desktop publisher, formatting is inscrutable. When building a document from multiple sources, as much as you try to reformat, Word hangs onto the old styles like grim death -- which Word sometimes makes me desire.
Windows 7 Not Sensational: Like Windows XP, Windows 7 doesn't age well. The longer you use it, the slower and flakier it gets. It hangs when the computer is sitting, freezes when it hasn't been rebooted for a few days and, sometimes, the cursor goes south for nearly a minute.
Printer Drivers: I hate the fact that older -- but not that old -- printers don't work under Windows 7. Making printers, especially lasers, artificially obsolete is just plain wrong.
BlackBerry Blues: My BlackBerry Bold is one of the latest models and it still feels old. The interface is a bit clumsy, it exhibits weird glitches every now and again, and the documentation feels sparse. The keys are way too small and the letters and symbols are nearly impossible to read -- and I don't have fat fingers or wear glasses.
Netbooks or Notbooks: I used to be excited about buying a netbook, just not giddy enough to actually pick one up. I still wanted a netbook after the iPad shipped. Then one thing happened and one thing didn't: Apple shipped the iPad 2, but netbooks didn't change at all. The prices and features are roughly the same. The only thing that changed is sales -- they went down!
Single Sign-on Significantly Stanky: I'm like most of you, with a couple-dozen logons and passwords of various complexity to get e-mail, do banking, trade stocks and socialize. Remembering all this is nearly impossible, so we blow away any semblance of security by keeping passwords in a Word doc or, even worse, on a piece of paper. While there are solutions out there for single sign-on, there isn't a single strong standard.
Firefox Fizzles: Firefox is gaining on Internet Explorer, and I switched to the open source browser long ago. But I may be about to switch back. Here's a short list of complaints: The upgrade took several attempts. Bookmarks are clunky. Trying to find an old folder and save a new page to it is way harder than it should be -- stupidly hard. And while I only have one add-on, which is from Mozilla, Firefox freezes more than an Alaskan fisherman. Let's hope 5.0 corrects my issues.
What bugs you? Beefs welcome at email@example.com.

Single sign-on: We all have cameras why can't we have a optical sign-on. If it's my eye sign me on.
As for netbooks I have two. I love them!! Light weight easy to carrie and always handy.
Doug - where to start??? Lets start at Cell phones. Wouldn't you think that these phone companies would want you to buy merchandise. It's like auto dealers, the real money is in service/repairs/add ons. Why do I have to wait 2yrs to upgrade my phone, otherwise it costs a small fortune??? I want the new stuff NOW. Don't rip me off for it. Lets face it, most consumers in this economy can't afford $600 for a new phone! Be happy I'm buying your crappy equipment!! :) Who cares when I buy, just let me buy when I want it at a affordable price! Now on to Netbooks.. I really wanted one. But I'm not your average user. I want it souped up w/Memory & Hard Drive space. By the time I find one (which is slim) to my liking, I might as well buy a full size laptop (which is what I didn't want). I want something fast for the couch that won't be heavy and hot. AND not pricey. Is that too much to ask? These components can't be that expensive anymore to make. iPad - love to have one - but once again, what's with the price point??? I guess you have to be part of the champagne money club. That's my peeve for the day!
I agree on the portion about printers. Some were never supported and some did have a generic driver you could install. About half of the printers would work after installing the generic drivers. Ridiculous.
Wow! I think it must be YOU on most of these things. I go back to Word 3 for DOS, and while I do have the occasional formatting issue from cut-n-pasted text, I'll happily forgo switching back to Wordperfect for its 'reveal codes' function. Instead, just paste to Notepad and then copy that; I promise that will lose your old formatting! My Win7 is as stable as a rock, though I expect Windows munge will eventually slow it down; the architecture pretty much guarantees that. For your older laser printers, you can often use a relatively generic PCL5 or PostScript driver; the LJ5 driver runs a huge number of printers acceptably well. I too use Firefox, typically with a dozen or more tabs open spread across multiple windows, and have a failure once a month or less. I like my Playbook for its bigger screen, but I LOVE my Blackberry for its wonderful keyboard (use your thumbs, dude, not your fingers!). I do have to agree on the severely sad single-sign-on state of affairs; it soundly sucks. Surely someday...

Fresh food as advertised – The food is definitely fresh and made to order, not just the juice like some other places that say they have fresh food. The menu has lots of choices, and the staff is friendly. AND, if you start feeling guilty, there's a gym next door.
Bland – Let's start with the positive. This place is clean. That's it. This is the blandest food imaginable served by inept servers.How hard is it to infuse flavor in natural food? This place misses the mark on every count! So many other places in Miami do a great job, this is such a disappointment. I absolutely love Miami Juice in Sunny Isles. They have wonderfully flavorful natural food served by experienced servers. The natural food & juice spot on West Dixie Hwy. near 183rd St. also has great fresh vegetarian food served by a competent staff, oh, and it's flavorful. So why is this place so bad?
Fresh smoothies and vegetarian-friendly eats keep this strip mall surprise in excellent shape. – In Short
Tucked away in the Sky Lakes Mall, Julio's is salvation for savvy sippers. Organic smoothies, soy milk replacement meals and freshly-squeezed juice combinations provide liquid fuel. Wraps, veggie platters and pita bread sandwiches are on the menu for those who fancy chewing their supper. The decor is as simple as one of its brown rice entrees, but just as good for you too.
Best Health Food and Service – As soon as you step in to this health emporioum you realize that is not only in the atmosphere. The staff greets you with a smile, the freshness of their smoothies and the quality of their dishes are outstanding. A family owned restautrant with a warm inviting setting. A combination of trendy, healthy and most of all, delicious fresh foods. Their location is fabulous, next to LA Fitness, I get a work out and a healthy tasty meal all in one place. From breakfast to dinner is all there. When you go, you must have Julio's Rice or a delicious Tantra ...Hats off to this incredible health paradise!!!

Fight Brewing over FAA's Funding
The bill, which is yet to be introduced, would shift some of the burden for funding the FAA from commercial airline passengers to private plane and jet operators.
Mar. 4 -- Battle lines are forming between airline passengers and private plane operators over who should pay for the nation's air traffic control system.
The battlefield is an upcoming bill in Congress to reauthorize funding for the Federal Aviation Administration, an agency that operates on about $14 billion annually.
The bill, which is yet to be introduced, would shift some of the burden for funding the FAA from commercial airline passengers to private plane and jet operators.
Airlines support the change because it would eliminate a 7.5 percent ticket tax passengers pay and, if air traffic control improvements result, reduce delays and cancellations.
"What we are doing is trying to build a new air traffic control system that can handle the loads," said David Stempler, President of the Air Travelers Association.
"A city like Las Vegas that is very dependent on air transportation ... would be really affected," he said.
Airline flights are responsible for about 73 percent of the cost of operating the nation's air traffic control system, according to the FAA.
But under the current system ticket taxes from airline passengers account for 95 percent of the FAA's trust fund, a pool of money that represents $11 billion, or nearly 80 percent of the FAA's annual funding.
"We are overpaying," said Stempler, whose organization represents airline passengers. "The people in the corporate jets, the charter jets ... they are not paying their fair share."
For example, a Boeing 737 like the kind Southwest Airlines would fly into McCarran International Airport might use the same amount of air traffic control resources as a Cirrus SR22. But the 737 contributes a ticket tax from as many as 137 passengers on board.
The Cirrus, with four or fewer people, contributes only through fuel taxes.
General aviation, which the FAA says is responsible for about 16 percent of the cost, pays just 3 percent. Under the new system, general aviation's share of the bill would increase to 11 percent, according to the FAA.
Locally, about 402,000 commercial flights use the airspace of McCarran International Airport annually, carrying about 42 million passengers. In 2006 there were about 64,000 general aviation flights at McCarran, 197,000 at the North Las Vegas Airport and 58,000 at Henderson Executive Airport.
Independent pilots, air charter services and private jet users vehemently oppose the change because lost ticket tax revenue would be replaced by a near tripling of the fuel tax for general aviation craft. There would also be user fees for commercial airliners.
The private operators purchased nearly 29 million gallons of the most common jet fuel in 2006 at the three airports, meaning the new tax would have added about $13.8 million to fuel costs.
"If we thought we could raise prices, we probably already would have," said John Sullivan, CEO of Las Vegas-based Sundance Helicopters, a longtime Grand Canyon air tour operator.
"In the marketplace of things to do in Las Vegas, at some point we are just priced out of that market."
General aviation now pays a tax of 21.8 cents per gallon of jet fuel and 19.3 cents for aviation gasoline. Under the FAA's proposed budget, general aviation would pay 70 cents per gallon on both.
The tax commercial airlines pay for fuel would increase from 4.3 cents to 13.6 per gallon.
It also would allow airports to increase passenger facility charges to as much as $6. The charge at McCarran is now $3. It raised nearly $86 million in 2006, money that goes toward projects like runway and taxiway improvements.
"We find nothing in there that we would truly oppose," said Rosemary Vassiliadis, deputy director of the Clark County Department of Aviation.
People affiliated with general aviation, business and corporate travel and charters say they are especially worried because the amount of some fees hasn't been set.

McCarran Reports Solid Start To 2014 With January Traffic
Nearly 3.3 million passengers passed through the airport's gates in January, up 5.3 percent from January 2013
As Vegas Travel Grows, Airport and Roadways May Face Challenges
The nation's sixth-busiest airport is already nearing its ultimate capacity of 53 million annual passengers, a limit imposed by a runway system that cannot be expanded because of nearby development.
FAA Causes Uproar With Tax Talk
With more planes in the sky, the agency and the airlines are pushing to end the ticket tax and find a way to redistribute the burden of funding air traffic control.

Windows 8 Beats Out iOS and Android at Seton Hall
In a world where iPads and Android devices are the rage, Seton Hall University bucked the BYOD trend and opted for Windows 8 tablets and ultrabooks for students and faculty, even though the OS doesn't ship officially until October. Why did the university go all in on Windows 8?
Mon, August 06, 2012
CIO — The release of Windows 8 may still be months away, but Seton Hall University isn't waiting for general availability of the new operating system in October. It's already using it on tablets and ultrabooks.
As part of its SHUmobile program — a collaboration with Microsoft, AT&T and Nokia — Seton Hall is giving incoming freshman either a Samsung Series 7 tablet running the Windows 8 Release Preview version or a Samsung Series 5 laptop running Windows 7, depending on what area of study the student is pursuing.
All devices will be upgraded to Windows 8 RTM when the OS is generally available this fall.
Seton Hall students will also get a Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone loaded with a customized app that contains student and faculty contact information as well as general campus information.
To complete the initiative, the university is upgrading its campus-wide email, storage, communications and collaboration platform to Microsoft Office 365.
Such offerings are a reboot of Seton Hall's 14-year-old Mobile Computing Program, which provided incoming freshmen with a laptop as part of their tuition and then an upgraded machine in their junior year.
Students Want Tablets: Is Windows 8 the Answer?
While laptops have been the traditional hardware choice for college students, lately, there's been an itch for lighter, more modern hardware, says Stephen Landry, CIO of Seton Hall.
"There has definitely been a growing interest in tablets," Landry says. "In the science department we've been issuing students and faculty the Lenovo X Series machines running Windows 7, a convertible laptop with a touchscreen that swivels and folds down to become a tablet that uses a stylus pen."
But Windows 7 was not designed for touchscreen functionality and although it works well with a pen, Landry says, it is "not a satisfactory" tablet experience.
However, Landry still pushed for a full-bore tablet environment this year. After considering putting tablets off until 2013, Landry warmed to Windows 8, Microsoft's highly anticipated next iteration of Windows, launching in late October. Landry got on board as a Microsoft First Wave customer in April and cut his teeth on Windows 8 through a sometimes frustrating Consumer Preview.
"Windows 8 consumer preview had its problems, from getting the devices to recognize our Seton Hall sh.edu domain to bumpy navigation with the Metro interface," Landry says.
"But Microsoft provided great support. We had a list of what we thought was wrong. And the patches came. That gave me comfort. And 99 percent of our issues were resolved with the Windows 8 Release Preview. It was ultimately enough of a game-changer for us on tablets."


text: You all know I love to explore great, eco-friendly kids' products, and I'll never bring you a review on anything I wouldn't use with my own family. But, every once in a while a product comes along that we not only like, but loooove, because it just fits our needs so well. UV Skinz sunblock clothing is definitely one of those lucky finds!

So You Want To Make Music? It's Never Been Easier...
From Heavy Metal to Tech House, It's Time To Get Creative
For many years the global stage has been dominated by auto-tuned Pop wannabes, larger than life rockers and classically trained muso's, with labels shelling out thousands, sometimes millions for their artists to record in expensive facilities. For most of us, recording an album that could stand up to that kind of competition sonically has always seemed unlikely, but as Bob Dylan once sang... "The times they are a' changing!"
In 2010 it's never been easier to make and record your own music, whether you're a hairbrush vocalist, fledgling pianist or an aging axe-man. Thanks to improvements in technology and the work of the fine men and women at companies like Steinberg, Avid, Propellerhead, Apple & Ableton it's now possible to turn your computer or laptop into a high tech recording studio for less most peoples fortnightly food shopping bill.
Due to the quality of today's emulations you can get the results once only possible from classic instruments and studio hardware for little or no cost. What's even more exciting is that you can achieve all of this with little or no previous experience. In fact, you don't even need to be able to play an instrument!
Over the coming weeks and months we'll be giving hints and tips on how to go about making your own music with advice and tutorials from industry professionals and even some awesome prizes for the best reader made tracks.
What You Need
It's time to resign your copies of guitar hero to the cupboard and get recording for real! Check out the links below for all you need to get started...
Music Editing Software - Compile all your samples and recordings into a masterpiece.
Audio Interfaces - Handles input and output of audio from your computer, including instruments and microphones you already own.

A study out of Duke University has found that men who are hostile, depressed, and angry aren't just lousy company; they're also more likely to get sick on you down the road.
According to the research, published in the August edition of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, such men develop higher levels of C3, an immune system protein that reflects inflammation. Higher levels of C3 are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, abnormal heart rhythms, and type 2 diabetes.
The researchers tested 313 men, first by assessing their feelings of hostility, anger, and depression in 1985 and then by measuring levels of inflammatory markers in their blood over a ten-year period between 1992 and 2002. Those who'd had the highest level of hostility and anger showed a 7.1 percent increase in C3 over the decade of the study. Those with low levels of the same attitudes had no change in C3 over the ten-year period.
It appears that the old adage "Don't sweat the small stuff" isn't only good for your interpersonal life; it just might keep that life going for awhile longer as well.

When the Patriot Act is used in the manner described, a warrant is required. There is no probable cause for any searches being done. In other words, no suspicion of any crimes committed. When we seek to have security like this, then freedoms hard won by our forefathers are put at risk, but to what purpose? Have us live in a police state?
For me, no, freedom is far more precious than life itself, and those who first railed at this intrusion and now are embracing it, defending it, are leading us to the totalitarian state of the communists and socialists of the Iron Curtain days. Is that what you want?
Only by a resounding flurry of communications to our representatives, by our votes if need be, can we stop the march to this bitter end of our great country. Get busy, time is shorter than you think.
