Then again, the writer here... You're pretty sick, too. There is no way being a tad high meant they didn't know what was happening.
"Beat her! Beat that ho, Trisha!" someone shouted on the Facebook video. Patricia Montes, 14 and in black spandex, grappled awkwardly with 15-year-old Erica Avery, tripping her to the ground. The camera jostled as it zoomed in closer to the melee. But what first appeared to be play devolved into something darker. Patricia grabbed a fistful of mud and tried to shove it into Erica's face.
"Get it in your mouth!" Patricia yelled.
"I don't wanna eat dirt!" Erica shrieked. "I don't wanna eat dirt!"
A forest-green truck roared into the frame. It was Patricia's five-foot-five dad, Ray Montes. The girls told him they were just playing. "You don't fucking play like that!" the graying 46-year-old boomed at Patricia. "Don't tell me, 'It's good.' You're my fucking daughter, all right? Look at you — you're fucking filthy! Get your ass home, now!" He gunned the engine, and the truck screeched away. On Facebook, the girls couldn't get enough of the video, which spawned 80 comments and was named, "Drunk Ass Hoess Lmaoo."
The similarities among the children's digital personalities — the deification of violence and drugs and the diminution of women — reflect broader themes in teenage social media. Here, girls are referred to as "bitches," "hoes," and "sluttabugs." Boys of all ethnicities call each other "nigga." Teens tell friends they "totally fucks with" them to express affection. Photo galleries are dominated by the shirtless selfie, which often includes baggies of weed, small piles of cash, blunts, the middle finger, cleavage, and six-packs.
Erica Avery's mother, caught for a moment on the telephone, claims her child's online personality doesn't accurately portray her real one. She says Erica was the product of an archetypal nuclear family. "My daughter is not a gangster," says Avery, a handsome woman with long puffy hair. "She comes from a stable household. There were never problems." Erica's 22-year-old sister agreed with a quick comment before hanging up: "We grew up in a normal house with loving parents."
But such proclamations obfuscate a history that's substantially more complicated. Erica's father, Eric Avery, has an arrest record that reaches back to 1994, when he pleaded no contest to four felonies of using a counterfeit credit card. Adjudication was withheld, and he got two years of probation. Over the next decade and a half, he stayed out of trouble, but his proclivity for petty crime emerged once more when Erica was in her early teens.
A towering figure of 225 pounds, he let his hair grow as long as his daughter's. He loved his two daughters — a tattoo of "Erica" in Chinese characters inks his left forearm — but he could scarcely provide for them.
In 2010, after he says he separated from his wife, the Riverside Mobile Home Park in Fort Lauderdale moved to evict him (the case was eventually dismissed). Over the following few months, according to police and court records, Avery piled up a slew of arrests that netted him 12 felony convictions and at least one year in prison.
In April, he walked into a Pompano Beach Publix, pushed $83.60 worth of groceries into plastic bags, and waltzed out without paying. He shattered the back window of a 2006 Chevy Van and lifted out construction tools, a digital camera, and a Garmin GPS unit. He lifted a black-and-white duffel bag out of a darkened house in Pompano Beach. "I had to do what I could," he told police. "We're about to be evicted."
Avery was booted from another place in 2012, and his legal and financial problems ravaged his daughter, who dropped out of high school. In the summer of 2013, she began dating a new boy and spent most days at his house. His brother, Christian Gonzalez, hung out too. As did Patricia.
"Erica and Patricia were together 99 percent of the time," recalls Gonzalez, who says he spent every day with the pair that summer. By now, they were calling each other "twin," and Patricia referred to Erica's father as "daddy" on Facebook. The teenagers filled their time with TV and playing pool, but Erica would drop everything if her dad called.
On July 31, she found out trouble had caught up to him again. Dania Beach Police say they caught him driving a stolen two-door Nissan without a license. When he was pulled over, police claim he admitted that he'd jacked the car in Hollywood and that he had heroin in his wallet. Avery was arrested on felony charges of grand theft auto and heroin possession. (He's pleaded not guilty.)
In August, Gonzalez accompanied Erica and Patricia to the Broward County Courthouse. They squeezed into a row to watch Eric Avery's arraignment. When the realization hit that Avery wouldn't be released, that he faced years in prison, the blond girls wept uncontrollably. "Erica was most upset that they wouldn't let her see him," Gonzalez recalls. "The car ride home that day was long and depressing."
"Erica just went ballistic when her father was taken away," friend Angie Morales says. "She went crazy and started drinking more and smoking more. She didn't care about herself anymore."
Weeks later, Erica moved out of Patricia's house and in with her godfather, who was renting a small two-bedroom in Coconut Creek.
Then again, the writer here... You're pretty sick, too. There is no way being a tad high meant they didn't know what was happening.
Excellent article. And so sad. I hope Jessica learns something from all this, and makes something of herself. She's got a lot going against her though, at such a young age. What a bunch of messed up adults. Exactly why I'm Pro-Choice.
mark the names down and follow the trial
maybe 10-15 years
out in half the time
dems love criminals out on the streets
and they hate good people having guns
This is the most poorly written article i've ever seen,extremely long,confusing, and misinforming.
This was most poorly written article i've ever seen.Too long, confusing, just a mess. 7 pages....7 pages?!?!
One thing it did show that I can lightly commend is how lost and easily influenced kids are these days.These kids need Jesus,and no i'm not kidding.
This generation needs to be careful, the devil is carving out a path of destruction, lose your soul at your own risk, be wise.
Don't bring Pot into this stupid situation I don't know anyone who has or would even consider a gang rape mainly because they would be too busy eating laughing and sleeping !!! As far as these girls go if you hang around with trash they treat you like trash !! That is all!!
I don't think MNT is anti-marijuana and I don't think they talk about pot-smoking to make it seem like it was a bad thing. They talk about it to show that these kids are 14-16, drinking, smoking, and being all around d-bags. This wasn't anti-pot, this was anti-shitty parenting.
I'd bang em. They wanna get treated like gangsta sluts, I'll turn them into that.
It's such a shame that Jessica is not going to recieve the proper counseling or support. She is more likely to be raped again and to descend further into drug use and depression. These young kids try to act way too grown...and these parents clearly are deluded and did a shitty job raising these POS teens. All these kids have no guidance, no positive role model and are so lost. Their facebook are such a joke. I hope all these kids get the appropriate prison time. None of that juvenile detention shit. They knew what they were doing... borderline pyscho these kids are nowadays.
2 Timothy 3 King James Version (KJV) 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
South Florida keeps it classy, per usual. This is exactly why I'm getting my kids out of here.
So sad. Had to be in Hollywood though all these fucked up people come from that hell how.
Although we are raising our kids in rural broward now also, there is no way in hell they will even know what boredom means as a teen. If that means traveling every summer, if that means paying for activities and sports, moving across the country - whatever. Too many parents think their kids are more mature than they actually are, and when unsupervised, these things happen.
This is not just Hollywood. It's any outskirts town in America. It's worse in areas where there is nothing going on because yes, everyone is bored and get into sex and drugs to cope. No ambition when no one around you is ambitious. I grew up in southern Indiana and my teen years were very much surrounded by this. I've experienced more than I've ever wanted to see, and thankfully left at 18 for a great traveling job, saw the world and gained culture, and now have a very stable married life. To kids like these, there simply isn't a universe outside of the small clique they live in, and parents who are not attentive do not get them they help they need to deal with emotional issues before it escalates. It took years before I could forgive my family and friends, I hated everything about all of their pathetic lives. And I still hate that town I grew up in. This article's details, I think were meant to shock adults, but to anyone who has been a teen in the last 10-15 years, I think it just seems like a normal part of culture that is unfortunately accepted and ignored.
Paula obviously never met that kid in College who had strict religious parents. Oh that's right, he partied so hard and rebelliously ditched his responsibilities that he flunked out. Feed Children God's word? No. Feed their brain. Teach them to love to learn. Show them how knowledge is power. Give them better examples of what you can accomplish. Don't give them the rod and toss a book written by delusional men who think it's God's word down their throat. Even if it were divine, it's been corrupted by the natural impurity of man.
We need more role models, counselors, and mentors in our communities. At the very least, adults need to stop participating and "liking" fights and sex posted on Facebook. It may be entertaining to you, but it's setting the stage for the youth who will do anything for attention and acceptance. If you won't help, at least don't make it worse.
They have been programmed by the violence in music, games and tv. Feed children Gods Word, give consistent discipline and loving supervision and they won't have time to go bad.
I don't think their parents should be responsible for that. Each one must be responsible for your own act. In this case, the teens are.
Welcome to Hollyhood. Where high school kids goals include "getting fucked up," "getting laid," & treating school like a fashion show / MMA match. You are think weed is the problem? Lol...these kids would drink drano if they thought it'd give them a buzz.
The problem isn't the alcohol, weed, or the drugs. It's the breakdown of society, specifically shitty parenting.
I saw these animals on tv the other night... Now crying n acting innocent. Pfft... Too late! What r their parents doing that they havent realized the disgusting neanderthals theyve raised?! I hope they do the MAX allowed by law and that the parents r sued for EVERYTHING they have or hope to ever get! Pay attention to what ur raising ppl!!!
This really is sad...Also a very good case for Not making Marijuana Legal....Seems as the Dope is all over this story.
Dude, stop posting about this awful story before it turns into a Lifetime movie.
This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever read about. These are just KIDS, still in high school, not old enough to drive or make their own decisions. For Christ's sake, they started smoking marijuana and posting about it at the age of 14! At the age of 14, I was still going to parties with bounce houses! Do I blame only the kids? No, the parents also had rather destructive lives. But someone should have reached out a long time ago to help those kids. And now they are all suffering. I think this generation of kids is so messed up. Since when is it okay to post about your destructive decisions on social networking sites? What does that do for you? This is sad, disturbing, and truly nerve-racking. Let's hope and pray that these won't be the same kids taking care of us when we're old.
@Lynxx3 Learns a valuable lesson from having a horrible tragedy like rape happen to her... You're fucking sick.
You are part of the problem. This attitude. Even though the girls you are talking about are criminals it is this "I'd bang em" mindset that has young men just like you pulling the kind of moves that Jayvon Woolfork did.
Jayvon Woolfork probably said he wanted to "bang" one of them too.
...............why not read books or ride a bike or go just go walking or how about take a job as a volunteer somewhere in a hospital or school or library
only boring people get bored
..........these kids are NOT intended to be re-habilitated because the JUDICIAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX makes too much money off of these kids
............sorry but these clowns are too far gone....i see them on the public city buses all the time and they don't even have respect for their own people, old people people with babies STAND and struggle with their packages and carriages and NOT ONE of these animals ever lifts a finger or gives up his seat
i agree some never had a chance but we need animals to feed the zoo of a judicial system we have - no ?
...........these kids parents had them so that the parents qualified for free government support and cheeze and obamaphones and section 8 housing assistance and welfare
not that those parents wanted kids - not to raise but to use - they wanted the financial benefits the government provides for having children
....................you mean parents are not responsible for their kids ? so the government should pay to raise these kids ?
....................you will never see SHARPTON or JACKSON drag those parents in front of the TV
.............................we should just give them HOODIEs and let them loose in DAVIE one evening and that would be the end of this
............................the drugs abused at such an early age GUARANTEES no return as their bodies and minds are GONE for good
they will never be able to concentrate or absorb anything mentally useful and disintergrate into animals - i see it everyday, young kids who could care less that they shit their pants or have no shelter simply wandering around for more drugs

On fox sports last night they listed John Stone a wide reciever pats had under contract . He had 3 catchers in nfl. The reporters never heard of him. Does any one know him?
I remember his signing. Don't know much about him. Had very little NFL experience, something like 1-3 games.

Get AccessIntroduction
Advanced breast cancer is a chronic disease with a remarkably heterogeneous clinical picture and a mean survival of 2–4 years [1]. Treatment goals are to increase overall survival and disease-free survival, and improve quality of life [2]. The inclusion of novel-targeted therapies in recent years has brought renewed hope for the possibility of improving these goals, and has broadened the spectrum of therapeutic choices.
Prognostic and predictive factors for early disease differ from those of advanced disease. In spite of this, many therapeutic decisions in young women with advanced breast cancer are based on predictive characteristics of early breast cancer. There is evidence demonstrating that approximately 20% of metastatic or relapsed tumors undergo changes in the expression of either hormone receptors or human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)/neu in comparison to the primary tumor [3]. Although methodological reasons might be behind some of the discordances in ...

I think this is so much hype and bs. Places that indulge in this kind of chicanery turn me off. What is the appeal of buying "secret" menu items? Seems like many other people know about them. And even if only 10 people in the world knew about them, again, what is the appeal? I'm one of only 10 people that can get a lettuce-wrapped burger at In-N-Out! I'm special! Woohoo!
re: ttoommyy
I agree that its mostly hype but I don't think there's any chicanery involved, Gimmickry; yes but not chicanery. It's a clever way to bring in new business. What I always get at I'n'O is their 4x4 with chopped peppers. Neither item is on the main menu.
re: mucho gordo
I still maintain it is chicanery as it is deceptive when the "secret" menus are posted all over the Internet by the companies themselves. There's nothing secret there.
re: ttoommyy
It's just a fun little thing! Why are you getting bent out of shape about it? Chicanery, deception...jeez.

re: Violatp
Not bent out of shape. Just passionate about my view. It's all in the spirit of debate. I just find this practice cheap and deceptive. Believe me, I'm not losing sleep over it. :)
re: Violatp
I've never been to INO...can't remember ever seeing one in my travels around here. Are the fries really bad?
re: ttoommyy
It's a deeply divisive subject. Like Republican vs. Democrat, Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift, peanut butter vs chocolate...
re: Violatp
"Like Republican vs. Democrat, Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift, peanut butter vs chocolate..."
Independent. Neither. BOTH.There. Solved those pressing world issues. ;-)

re: Violatp
Wait, how did peanut butter vs chocolate make that list? That's like saying Laurel or Hardy, Butch Cassidy or the Sundance Kid, in the morning or in the evening...;-)
re: ttoommyy
It certainly isn't deceptive in the case of In-n-Out. They call it their "not-so-secret menu," and post it on their website. It's just a means of keeping the menu in their outlets simple. It keeps the line moving. If everything were up on the board, customers who do not already know what they want would spend more time deciding.
re: kengk
Most Chinese restaurants have a semi-secret menu. They sometimes write on white boards or paste them up on the walls, the secret part is that they are written in Chinese. So you have to be able to read it to order. Now, depending on where you are, they will have bilingual menus or bilingual posters up on the wall.
re: Phaedrus
I don't think it's really a 'secret' menu. It's just one that would appeal to Chinese customers only; dishes not geared to American tastes.
re: mucho gordo
Sometimes it is secret. Years ago some Chinese friends suggested we go to a nearby restaurant for lunch, which I dismissed as a "chop suey house." They said not to worry, they knew the cook. We went and got actual Chinese food not on the menu and not even on the wall.

re: chowser
That "have it your way" is a crock of you know what. I asked for the burger rare and was told they can't do it. I asked for grilled onions. No, they don't do it.
I never went back.0
re: shallots
Remember, I was a regular at the original on Navigation, plus the Gulf Freeway and Echo Lane locations. I had a deal going with waiters at two locations, free Ninfaritas and usually free flan. Massive tips were involved, a win/win for everyone. The "original" is still there, but I no longer go, a different menu and valet parking, please. I never had the queso, but crab enchiladas were an off menu favorite. Ninfa's sons have a small chain going, and just opened a Tex Mex palace on Navigation next door. It's called El Tiempo, our go to Tex Mex place.
Quite frankly I am sick of all the secret crap. There was an article in Eater SD about a few places that indulge in secret menu items. One needs to know certain ways to ask for things, etc... And the restaurant "might make it for you..." I'm done. I'm just done. Secret menus, restaurants that "refuse" to serve certain items or "refuse" to provide certain utensils because it threatens their moral high ground, places that are booked months in advance and require you to pray to their FB page for available space or tickets....I'm so tired of it. I love food. I love a wide range of dining experiences, but the mid range experience is becoming some of weird land of "being in the know" and the high end is pretty much unattainable, save for special occasions IF I can get a reservation. I tried to make a res at FL, literally at the earliest possible minute for a date 3 months out, and they were "booked." Really? At 12:01 am?
What happened to excellent food and excellent service being a restaurant's focus. end of rant.

I am not getting the fog to work.
Whats happening is all my objects are colored the color of the intended fog. The fog is not showing. :-|
This code is taken from a simplistic solar system model, btw.

You are not seeing the fog, problably because you are clearing the screen with a color tha is diference of the fog color. So you have to do the clear colo like the fog color...
So...if you put your fog this...
GLfloat fogColor[4] = {0.5f,0.5f,0.5f,1.0f};
you have to do this...
I hope that is waht you want

The way that I understand OpenGL fogging to work is that the fog color is applied to pixels as they are rendered based on their distance from the viewer. You mention your objects as being completely fog colored. This is likely because they are pretty far from the camera. Does this fog color fade away as the camera nears the object? The reason the rest of space is not fogged is because that you aren''t rendering anything there, so there are no pixels to fog. I can''t think of an easy way to do fog in a space environment, unless you set the fog color to black. I hope that this has helped.

Yeah. I figured out what was happening.
Its like Lord Karnus said- only the pixels on the objects are getting fogged- its up to me to deal wityh the other stuff.
Which is really interesting.
In Homeworld and HW:Cataclysm, they evidently have a fog that bypasses certain objects. Ships/and other ingame models are fogged t the background color, and the background shows perfectly. I`m pretty sure the background is a textures sphere.
Anyways, thanx.

The problem I'm having with this pattern is the blocks are different shapes so it isn't easy to sew together. Has anyone noticed that block A is smaller and less stitches than block B? Am I missing something?
The pattern is right, but I think I know why some are having difficulty with it as I did the first time around. I accidentally stitched into the chain one of the bobble on the previous round which gave me 20 sts instead of 19 which in turn, will not allow your bobbles to line up right. Make sure you don't stitch into the middle chain one of the bobble, and it should be fine.
I found the original pattern on the Bernat website - they call it "BERNAT CHUNKY, BERNAT SOFTEE CHUNKY DIAMONDS AND TWEED BLANKET." Here's the link: http://www.bernat.com/data/pattern/pdf/Bernat_Chunky471_kn_blanket.en_US.pdf
I would like to see the correction of this pattern. Why don't the bobbles line up. Maybe you should post a graph. Thank you
Hi Rhonda, did you get it figured out. I think the instructions are correct, just mind bending. I am new at crocheting so I took a graph and used the squares as stitches and was able to get the bobbles to line up okay the second go around. It is really easy to lose count, so I make sure that I count each stitch (instead of 3sc tween the bobbles), so that way I am able to keep it square in my mind. ex: row 9 = hdc in first 5; bobble in 6; hdc in 7, 8 & 9; bobble in 10; hdc in 11, 12 & 13; bobble in 14; hdc in15-19
Are the correct instructions available. I have purchased the yarn and am ready to get started. Where can I find the complete instructions?
Thanks to our readers who have left comments on this pattern. I have tried accessing it again through Bernat.com and did not have luck finding the original pattern. If any of you crochet fans found some tricks and tips for working this pattern out, please feel free to post them here and help out our other readers! You can also contact us here (http://www.favecrafts.com/index.php/hct/contact_us_page) with correct instructions and we'll be sure to update it as sure as new information becomes available.

text: Building Loyalty on Facebook: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital The term "brand loyalty" may bring to mind many well-known companies, such as Facebook, Google, Walt Disney World or Starbucks, but what about a non-profit organization? According to a recent brand loyalty survey from social research firm LoudDoor, the brand with the most loyal Facebook fans is not a for-profit corporation. It's St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The study, which asked consumers how likely they are to recommend a brand page they "like" on Facebook to a friend, found that consumers feel far more loyal to St. Jude than even Facebook itself. St. Jude scored a 77.8 on LoudDoor's scale, compared to Facebook's score of 66.6. The reason? John Avola, St. Jude's senior liaison for interactive marketing, social, and mobile, believes that it comes down to mutual involvement and loyalty. "We at St. Jude are just as loyal back to our fans as they are to us," he said. For example, this past July, St. Jude decided to run a weekly feature titled, "St. Jude Moments." These posts focus on one child each week and a few important aspects of his or her daily life at St. Jude. Sharing these more personal moments humanizes the brand and allows it to connect with its audience on a more emotional level. St. Jude also keeps the tone honest. It uses social media to reflect the true nature of the brand by being inspirational and uplifting. While many children at St. Jude are dealing with hardships, their smiles and hope keeps fans coming back to the page. Finally, the St. Jude Facebook page places a high priority on giving back. Posts on the page regularly show appreciation and gratitude to the support of the network, and comments and questions are addressed quickly. All of these practices are what makes St. Jude the most loyally followed brand on Facebook. To learn more, check out the article from Ragan's Health Care Communication News.

The ballot papers themselves are rectangular with "I elect as supreme pontiff" printed at the top and each cardinal prints or writes a name in a way that disguises his handwriting. One at a time they approach the altar with the folded ballot held up, he kneels and prays and then places the ballot in a silver and gilded bronze urn, much like a wok with a lid. Cardinals called 'scrutineers' count the ballots. After the ballots are read aloud they are placed on a thread and placed in another urn. They are then burnt.
Since 1903, white smoke from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel has signalled the election of a pope; black smoke signals another vote.
When a pope is finally elected, the cardinal dean asks him, "Do you accept your canonical election as supreme pontiff?" Rarely does anyone say no. St Philip Benize was offered it in 1271 and fled and hid until another candidate was chosen.
Sacristy of Tears
After the 'yes', he is led into the 'Sacristy of Tears' or commonly called 'Room of Tears,' a small room off the Sistine Chapel. It is here that the enormity of what has just happened hits the new Pope, though the tears may be of sorrow or joy. Traditionally they were said to be tears of humility as a Pope was following in the footsteps of St Peter; others would contend the tears were because essentially the Pope becomes a 'prisoner' of the Vatican and would be bowed down by the weight of the office.
The new Pope picks one of three sizes of Papal garments – presumably small, medium or large – and return to the High Altar to receive the homage of the cardinals. Meanwhile, the ballots are burnt in a stove with a chemical which turns the smoke white, telling the world of the newly elected Pontiff.
A Cardinal is then sent to the Loggia of the Benedictions on the façade of St Peter's where he says: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum. I announce to you a great joy! Habemus Papam. We have a Pope!" He then announces the name of the cardinal and the name he has chosen to use as Pope.
The new Pope steps onto the balcony and therefore onto the stage of world and church history. He may grant his first blessing to the world.
Some days later, the new Pope will go down into the foundations of St Peter's to the tomb of Peter, the first Pope and first bishop of Rome, and pray. Then with all the cardinals, he will process into St Peter's Square to begin his first public Mass and receive the main symbols of his office: the fisherman's ring and the pallium.

You were alone from the start,
But you didn't care back then.
You were special.
So special that no one could understand you.
But that was special too.
No one could reach you in your bubble.
Then the others came.
They were more special.
You pulled away.
While being surrounded you felt so alone.
Until you were really alone.
And no one could understand you.
Not even you.
You tried to change.
But the bubble was strong.
You kicked and screamed, but no one noticed.
That was what the bubble was for.
Then came the time when they pushed you away.
They couldn't have known you are different.
Are you different?
you drifted away,
They won't remember.
They won't remember what they never knew.
Did you know?
Who are you?
Why is it painful?
What is painful?
Why are you crying?

Anyone have any experience with this pack?
This is a discussion on Maxpedition Proteus within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Anyone have any experience with this pack?...
Anyone have any experience with this pack?
Nope but I have a Maxpedition pack but always forget the model. I don\'t care too much for fanny packs.
I was interested in it mostly as a small bag to carry my normal \"gotta have close to me\" gear, not as a fanny pack. I actually like the SpecOps organizer that coma posted on an earlier thread. There is a Maxpedition pack (Condor) that I like, as well. Maxpedition has one of the best reputations for tactical packs and soft gear.
Bumper, check out Mountain Smith Lumbar Series. When I served my country, my unit got a GSA from this company for our packs. They are bombproof.

Customer Service Representative Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies.
Applied online, got an email 2 days later to do a 15 minute phone interview. After the conversation the recruiter said she'd like to schedule me for an exam in almost a month's time, and to fill out a background report. First thing is they give you a typing test which if you fail under 35 wpm you're told to leave in front of everyone. If you pass that you stay for the 4 hour exam. There was a math portion, an insurance like portion where you have to find and decide information in a document. And some general find the error, spelling, and grammar tests. I got a call that night, around 7:30, from the call center manager to come in the next week for an in person interview. It was with the general manager and a regular manager, basic customer service/interview questions, thought I did well. They said they'd get back to me in 2 weeks, emailed me 3 days later saying I didn't get the job. Job pay was 38k a year

Customer Service Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies in July 2012.
Interview DetailsHiring process was drawn out over at least a month. I applied online and a few days later recieved an email saying I'd been selected to continue on in the application process. Filled out a more in depth application that also contained questions that dealt with hypothetical situations one might be in while answering phone calls in customer service department for an insurance company. A few days later, in an email, I was asked to continue on in the hiring process. The next phase was an online personality test consisting with over one hundred questions, simple math questions & call center scenarios presented with questions on which is best way to answer customer's question, etc. Several days later I got an email stating that I should move on to the next stage-- an online call center simulation. The call center simulation I did at home on my computer. I had 45 minutes to "answer" phone calls and select the best responses to the customer's questions given the infotnation that was provided for me. Several days later I recieved a phone call from Travelers saying they'd like to bring me in to meet with the director of operations and hiring manager. A few days later I go in for my interview. I meet with two people (director & hiring manager) at the same time, one asking me questions while the other jotted down my answers. That interview lasted about an hour and consisted with typical interview questions. They made me feel comfortable and got me to relax the best I could. They both stepped out of room for 5 minutes, came back in, asked some more questions then told me they'd like me to meet with someone from HR. I interviewed with one person from HR for another hour. I was much more relaxed, and most of the questions I was asked were the same, or at least very similar. Talked about benefits and salary. I left with a mixed feeling since I'd never worked in a call center before conducting customer service-- I've only worked face to face customer service in the food service industry. But my interview with HR, I felt, went really well. Five days later I received a call from a recruiter who offered me the job, pending a drug test and background check. I accepted the offer, and start the new job in a month!

Customer Service Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 4 weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies in January 2012.
Interview DetailsStarted off applying online then received a phone call a few days later asking to set up a 15 minute phone interview. This phone interview was fairly easy first describing what the job entails and asking basic questions like: tell me about yourself, what did you like/dislike about previous employer, what computer programs do you have experience with, and why Travelers...At the end of the interview i was asked to set up a day to go in for a 4 hour skills test. The first part of the test was a 5 minute typing test, making sure you can type at least 35 words per minute. However, it wasn't a standard paragraph and sentence typing, it was data entry, such as people's names and addresses. Still fairly easy. If you failed this part they send you home, if you pass you go on to take the 5 parts knowledge test. This test was really easy as many of the questions they provided the background policy information in the example and you have to decide what the outcome would be. Other questions included finding typos, basic math, and writing skills.
I passed everything on the test and was called the following day to set up an in-person interview. I showed up a week later and interviewed with two people at the same time. They alternated asking me questions and it lasted over an hour. I think it went very well as afterwards they went into the hallway and came back ten minutes later saying they wanted me to also interview with their boss at that time. Obviously I agreed and the boss came in several minutes later. This part was much quicker, about 30 minutes and was also quite easy. This was the finals step in the process as they told me I'd hear back within two weeks of that interview with an offer or not. It's been 1 week and I believe they were going to stop interviewing people today, so any day now I'm hoping for the call to get 1 of the 12 open positions they're hiring!Interview Questions- Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Interview DetailsNewspaper listed a job fair. I sumitted my resume online before attending the all day event Screening 1:1 interview with recruiter. Computer based skill exams (2 hours). One on one interview with another recruiter and then a hiring manager. Did not recieve any feedback about job. I was never contacted either way. I felt that the environment was conducive to excellence. The staff seemed to be laid back and easygoing. I really thought I did well, but they had a lot of applicants with prior call center experience of which I did not have.

Application DetailsThe process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies in December 2011.
Interview DetailsI applied for this position back in November of 2011 and received a call from the company a few weeks later to schedule a skills test. The skills test consisted of a typing test that was either pass/fail, and was followed by a five part multiple-choice exam including sections on basic calculations and grammar/usage. I was told that if I passed the exam I would receive a call within a week to schedule an interview. I was called the next day and had an interview scheduled for the following week. I interviewed with two managers who asked me questions primarily concerning my previous work experience. The interview took a little over an hour to complete. It has now been a few weeks since my interview, and I received a call a couple days ago from one of the managers asking if I was still interested in the position, and that they would be making their final decision sometime next week. I suppose I will find out next week whether or not I got the job. In summation, the interview process has been long and drawn out, but relatively low-stress.

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies in October 2010.
Interview DetailsI had applied before online to Traveler's and did not hear back. I got an employee referral and finally got a call to do a phone interview- which was brief and simple- basically just asked weakness/strength a few "describe a time" type questions. then went in and took the assestment test- im a smart person and found it somewhat difficult. then went back a week later for interview with 2 managers. They were very nice- usually i get pretty nervous but they made me feel at ease. Asked lots of "what would you do" and "describe a time with a customer" questions. I researched the company and i came prepared with examples of my day to day work interactions which was helpful. after interview i listened in on some calls with an employee. 2 weeks later got a call and offer- took drug test/background.
I had no experience with insurance, have a degree, and customer service jobs.
It was intimidating when i read others interview reviews but i must say my experience was positive. If you come prepared and are professional I think you will do well.Interview Questions- Describe a time with a customer that you could not give them the service you wanted to? View Answer

Customer Service Representative Interview
Application DetailsI applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Travelers Companies in June 2010.
Interview DetailsAfter a phone interview, you are invited to go to the local office for a skills test and interview. The interview however is only granted only to those that score within their acceptable range. The assessment test itself is a joke. It included sections on reading comprehension, math, grammar, typing and locating information. Very easy.
If you are successful, you should be asked for an immediate interview or to come back for an interview. My particular interview was with three managers, who asked routine behavioral questions. Two questions that I had never encountered before: "Tell me about a time when you were disappointment with your job" and "How do you deal with stress on the job?". The last step is observation. You will be asked to sit down with someone who is already performing the job you applied for.
After the face-to-face interaction, if you are being considered, you will be asked to complete an online questionnaire for a background check. I was told that I would hear something soon. Still no word and calls to HR have not been returned. I can understand that HR may be slammed with applicants, but there is no excuse for a failing to notify applicants about the outcome.Interview Questions- How do you deal with stress on the job?

Good Reads: Qaddafi's African mercenaries, Tripoli's water, and Mexican gangs
Mr. Qaddafi's use of mercenaries from all over Africa was so common that when citizens see people with darker skin than theirs, they assume that person is a mercenary and promptly hand that person over to the authorities, or, more horribly, settle the matter violently themselves.
In the Atlantic piece, Mr. Gwin describes an interview with a Tuareg fighter, given the pseudonym Abdullah, recently returned from Libya. His unit in Tripoli was told to disperse anti-Qaddafi demonstrators.
"That was easy," he said with startling nonchalance. "We would kill three or four in the front of the crowd and they all ran away."
And when Qaddafi said in February that his fighters would hunt for protesters house by house, Abdullah and his men took the Libyan leader at his word. "To be honest, it is true. We believed what Qaddafi told us. We believed we would go there and kill everyone."
Fight for water
Libyan news continues to dominate headlines, and in the Monitor's Backchannels blog yesterday, Dan Murphy reported that the anti-Qaddafi forces have rejected a United Nations proposal to send in peacekeepers. The rebels say they are not in a civil war, but rather in a fight to defend themselves against the forces of a dictator. Now on the outskirts of Qaddafi's hometown of Sirte, the rebels have given the city an ultimatum to surrender by this weekend. If not, the rebels say they will take the city by force.

Altria Appeals Tobacco Sales Oversight Ruling by U.S. Judge
June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Cigarette makers including Altria Group Inc.'s Philip Morris USA unit are appealing a judge's ruling that oversight of the industry resulting from a 1999 racketeering case is necessary and will continue.
The defendants, which also include Reynolds American Inc.'s R.J. Reynolds Tobacco and Lorillard Inc.'s Lorillard Tobacco, notified U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler in Washington today that they are challenging her authority to oversee the case in an appeal.
Kessler ruled June 1 that her involvement wasn't ended by a 2009 law that empowered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to monitor the industry and establish restrictions on the sale, promotion and distribution of tobacco products.
In her ruling, Kessler said the cigarette makers continue to challenge the law that created the FDA's regulation of the industry and if they prevail, "it will be all the more necessary for them to be restrained by this court from any future violations" of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
In 2006, Kessler found that the companies violated the law by conspiring to hide the dangers of cigarettes. She ordered the companies to stop marketing cigarettes as "light" and "low-tar" and to make statements about the health effects of smoking in newspapers and magazines and on cigarette packages.
'Foreign Activity'
British American Tobacco Plc, Europe's largest cigarette maker, was dropped from the lawsuit in March after Kessler said a 2010 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in a securities case restricts the U.S. from finding liability in "what is essentially foreign activity."
"We look forward to presenting our arguments to the appellate court," said Steven Callahan, a spokesman for Altria. Greg Perry, a spokesman for Lorillard, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment. Representatives at Reynolds American's public relations department didn't immediately reply to a phone message seeking comment.
Charles Miller, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to comment.
The case is U.S. v. Philip Morris USA Inc., 99-cv-02496, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia (Washington).

Labor MP gets carbon tax death threats
PUBLISHED: 11 Oct 2011 17:00:48 | UPDATED: 11 Oct 2011 17:02:33PRINT EDITION: 11 Oct 2011A federal Labor MP has told parliament she has been the target of death threats because of her support for the government's carbon tax.
Anna Burke said one email threat had been opened by her 12-year-old child.
"People like Frank Johnston, who sent me a death threat in bold capital red letters today, is beyond the pale," she said in parliament under privilege on Tuesday.
"It doesn't add to this debate, it doesn't help the debate.
"And when he sent the other emails the other day that my 12-year-old opened, it's just not on."
Ms Burke said the level of debate on the carbon tax issue had been hysterical.
"Let's have a sensible debate," she said.
"We can have differing opinions but let's actually have a debate on fact and not hysteria."
Further comment was being sought from Ms Burke, who represents the Victorian seat of Chisholm.

Broken or damaged fog lights are very common on all year model Mustangs, such as the case on this '03 Cobra behind us. The previous owner decided they wanted to tint them black, did a very poor job of doing so. Now, they look completely like crap.
Luckily, for '03, '04 Cobra owners, we have everything you need to get your car looking as good as possible. Now, if you have a '99 to '04 V6 or GT and you've upgraded to a '03, '04 Cobra bumper cover, this kit applies to you as well, because we include the needed connectors and attaching hardware to attach your fog lights to the bumper cover.
Now, the fog lights include new bulbs, so you don't have to worry about purchasing those separately. And the install is really easy, can be done in your driveway in little to no time at all. Now, the bezels are side-specific and are marked on the back with an R or an L. Now, the R goes to the passenger side, L to the driver side.
Fog lights are universal. They'll go on either side. Now, to get started with the removal, unplug the electrical connector from the fog light bulb. Remove the four retaining screws that hold the fog light to the bumper cover. Then remove the two screws that hold the fog light bezel to the bumper cover.
Unsnap the bezel, and remove it from the car. Now, you can go back in with your new parts. Before I get this install finished up, check out just how bad off these original lights were. Installation is the exact opposite of removal. Go ahead and snap everything back together, and check for operation.
You could probably tell it that we have a huge improvement that just took place on this '03 Cobra. Now, for more Mustang lighting options, check out latemodelrestoration.com.
