21 Century Warranty Consumer Reviews and Complaints
Worked with Kenneth ** and he will tell you want you want to hear so you purchase. I was contacted by my dealership about my 209 Acura TL and I was offered a 4 year, 48k mile extension of warranty. I asked if this was Acura Care warranty and he said yes. Things that he said are covered include engine, transmission, drive axle, steering, brakes, air conditioning suspension and electrical. For the price it didn't seem bad so I said yes. $185 down and 3 payment options: $875/year for 4 years, $138/24 months, $184/18 months. I got charged the down payment of $185 and then received the paperwork/contract.
The paperwork was all incorrect including cost and warranty. It is not Acura Care, it is Century Warranty Services, there are 3 coverage levels: power choice advantage, power choice plus or power choice. My contract says power choice which only covers engine, transmission and drive axle. The cost was incorrect stating down payment is $205 and each payment for 24 months is $154.25.
The only thing that was correct was my vehicle info: make, model, year and miles. I do say I called to cancel and they have said they will reverse, but I will have to check my account to make sure they do. However, when I confronted Ken about this, he basically blamed me that I had written down all my information correctly. He stated they record all their calls and I said that, "Great, let's listen to them to see who's telling the truth". At the end of the day if it sounds too good to be true it likely is. Beware and check your contract if you do end up signing up for the warranty package.
I purchased a 2012 Yukon and have had to use the Century warranty and it's been quick and they have come through every time minus my $100 deductible. On any used vehicle I would recommend Century warranty.
The Century Service Administrator altered the original contract from that which I and the dealer manager signed and emailed me a copy of the altered contract. The changes included lowering the vehicle purchase price down to zero, lowering the contract purchase price (which affects the pro-rata refund amount when canceled) to a smaller dollar value, and the new contract was called an "E-Contract" and had no signatures. When I asked to cancel the contract due to the Volkswagen of America buyback of the TDI diesel vehicles, I was told that Century is only the administrator and that actually it is the dealer that provides payment of claims, and issues pro-rated refunds on cancellations. The dealer stated that they were awaiting a reimbursement from the Century administrator. Century insists that they do not receive any Agreement charges from the sale of it (from the customer) nor do they reimburse the dealer when it is canceled.
Not bad, I purchased a Costco auto insurance plan CWS. I've had a very positive overall experience, I'm glad I purchased this warranty! It was the top plan, for $4766.00. I made money with the amount of costly repairs, my vehicle has air suspension and it was a $1000 repair x the 4 corners of the vehicle. And a rear motor oil leak was over $2000! They covered all the repairs! Yes, someone came out to inspect every claim. But they paid the dealer, it was a credit card, little odd, it the dealer always gave me my car when it was done. Thanks CWS!
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, customer service!!! I have a contract that cost $2,500 with Century service. I purchased my vehicle in 2012 with an extended bumper to bumper warranty. It took 5 phone calls to acknowledge I had a contract. So I started to record all phone calls with this company. They finally acknowledged that I have a contract but that I bought a lesser contract that would not cover my contract. I faxed in my contract and they changed the information after a week. I talked to almost every if not all customer service providers, few were helpful, many were complete jerks, and none knew how to read the notes about how my contract was updated and I had an open case.
They didn't want to pay for any of it. Then they only wanted to pay part of it. I called and said that the contract covers all of it. They said "according to their records, they don't have to pay." They also said they do not have a specific contract that I signed so I had to fax my contract. My repair shop asked me to take my vehicle to another shop because they were tired of dealing with "those jerks at the Warranty company." I told my repair shop that I would talk to the warranty company. I called Century service and they said, "Tell your repair shop to man up and stop being babies." I said, "Sure as long as you tell everyone there to stop being an **." 4 weeks later, my car is getting fixed... I think. Yes, everything is recorded and I am considering a lawsuit. This is my first review I've ever written and probably my last, but I just wanted to warn anyone buying from this company.

I purchased an Century Extended Warranty from the dealer which I was told that it's a Bumper to Bumper warranty for a 2013 Ford Flex that I purchase in September. I've only have the car for 5 months now and my emergency brake doesn't engage anymore, so I took it to a Ford shop and the told me the problem with my car and that it should be cover under warranty. The Ford shop called Century Warranty and they said that it's not covered.
So I called Century myself and the line has picked up but the personnel at Century didn't know I was on the line. I heard them talking about how they weren't going to paid for a job that a person took their car to the shop for repairs in a min wear and tear problem, and Century personnel were laughing about not having to pay for the job cause they felt they didn't want to pay for. They sounded like a bunch of crooks! Do not purchase any Century Extended Warranty!! They are not professional person and are only out to take your money!
I purchased the extended warranty coverage for my 2010 Honda Odyssey expecting major repairs to be covered. A few months later a leak was found in the Power Steering Rack. Repair was delayed for two days awaiting an inspector from Century Warranty Services. The leak was indeed verified but was told this was not covered by the policy. This repair cost almost $800 with a dealer discount. Not only did the warranty not cover the repair, it delayed the repair. I was without my Odyssey for a week. I do not recommend this company.
The battery kept being dead in the am. Checking charging, okay. Replaced battery, still dead. Dealership says electrical system spiked due to loose neg cable. Two relays damaged, A/C psi valve damaged due to overcharging. Dealership says battery cable loose due to overtorqued. Battery cable secured and not faulty??? Warranty claims rep says battery problem not covered. Again, no evidence the battery cable at fault, just an assumption. Repairs not covered?? I'm asking for a full refund for policy, all repairs paid out of pocket. Why have extended warranty when first repair ever isn't covered, just slot of people passing the buck and not answering or returning calls. Never purchase extended warranties at dealerships or by mail. Save your money, it will save you lots of stress.
The alternator went out in my daughters car I bought for her. It was on the side of the road, so we had it towed to our mechanic. He fixed it and I sent the receipt to Century and they denied it, because I didn't get prior authorization. I explained it was not possible, because the car broke down and the warranty information was in my safe. They still denied, actually ignored me, never returning my call or second fax to them, nice huh. This is how this company scams people. My hope is that people are informed as to their shady business practice and eventually put them out of business. Do they really expect people are going to wait to have their vehicles repaired so they can get prior authorization. Really shame on you.
I was led to believe that our computer was covered, but no. So now after $1300.00, I'm hopeful I can get refund for it.
I purchased a Century Service Warranty for my used 2008 Nissan Altima. I took my car in for an oil change and the dealer told me my head gasket was leaking coolant. Long story short and after not having my car for almost a week, the warranty company would not replace the head gasket because it was not dripping. They sent out an inspector and verified it was leaking, but since it's not dripping, they will not cover the repair. What a joke! Time to cancel the warranty, pager a prorated refund and use that to repair my car. Don't waste your money!
I purchased a car and warranty in 2010 - 48 months or 100,000 miles. I was interested in purchasing a new car and called Century first to see how much we would get back. They quoted us pro-rated amount and told us what we would need to do to get money back (odometer statement, fill out paperwork). I filled out required paperwork, received confirmation they received it. They told us we would get check in about seven weeks. Three months passed, no check. I called, told us they sent it to our old address (which we were sure to tell them we no longer lived in another state). They told us a new check would be issued and we would get it the following week. No check. Lost in the mail.
I called again yesterday to check on it. This time they told us they do not owe us a check. We have to get it from the dealership. Huh? Dealership, of course, says "No way." I have been going back and forth with Century and they refused to do a three-way conference call with the dealership so we can get this all straightened out. Someone somewhere is supposed to call me back. I'm not holding my breath. I want my $1,700 I am owed. I have been dealing with this since February and it is now June 19th.
I was always told not to buy the extended warranties. Why would any dealership try to sell a warranty from a company like this? Please do not be fooled into buying these warranties, especially a Century Warranty. Walk out of the finance department at the dealership if they are pushing one of these in your auto deal.
I purchased a used 2005 Crossfire and the Nissan dealer suggested that I get an extended warranty. I purchased a level 3 warranty, which they lead me to believe to cover basically everything.
I then went to the Chrysler dealership. The warranty wouldn't cover it. My cost is $961.00. The ignition switch malfunctioned and two things needed to be replaced. They chose to replace the cheaper of the two parts. My cost is over $1000. I paid $1700 for the coverage. I called to cancel and then I was told there was a cancellation fee. I did get a refund, but the transmission still jerks when it shifts. I will never, ever deal with them again. You have absolutely no idea what they will and will not cover. I think it depends on the adjuster's mood.
Buying 4 runner after lease. Century Warranty Freedom Choice Plus Plan, Mechanical Breakdown Service Contract was recommended my World Omni Leasing. The Vehicle is was leased to my Computer Services Company and will be on the buyout contract as well. In reading over the warranty plan I decided to call Century to have them go over the plan with me.
After going over a bunch of what if's it seems to me that all these contracts are nothing more than a scam to steal your money because they are designed to make one think these major items are covered but read fine print carefully. Think about this, the main reason any major item fails is because of a lack of lubricants, overheating, or restricted flow. They don't cover any items that normally cause these failures.
Reading more into the warranty I found another item that excluded me all together because I use this vehicle for company use, the Century Warranty rep stated that I did not disclose this.
I simply pointed out ...Please read Service Contract Holder Information where it clearly listed my Computer Company name. His response to that was so stupid I cannot list it here.
Think about this whole extended warranty business... it is in their best interest not to pay out anything or very little against any claim simply because it's not profitable. Therefore they give themselves a way out to do just that.
Don't take my word for it, Read the complaints! They disguise their scam all wraped up in a nice brochure that makes you feel confident that your covered, that's marketing and they have a legal contract that YOU signed.
In my case, IF I'd signed my contract it would have covered nothing and in talking to the rep he always had a excuse or reason for everything I stated that excluded them or a lame anwser!
I took out an Extended Service Contract when I purchased my 2001 Honda Odyssey. I selected the "Select Care" (the 2nd to the best) policy. In November of 2009, I took it into the local Honda dealership for several things and they found that the compliance bushings in the lower control arms were cracked and needed replacing in their opinion, along with a leaking power steering pump. The dealership contacted Century Warranty and they responded by sending out an inspector to assess what they saw as needing repair.
The inspector denied the repair saying that it was not "bad" enough to warrant repair at this time. I took it back to the same dealership in April 2010 for some other problems, which Century authorized to be covered along with the power steering pump this time. However, they again denied the compliance bushing repair. The dealership called them and I called them as to why. They drew my attention to a fine print clause that gave them an out as they stated that the bushing were worn out due to normal wear and tear that they only covered up to 50,000 miles (my van had over that). Their contract states under "Front Suspension" that bushings are to be covered.
It cost me $100.00 deductible every time I take my vehicle in under the service contract. So in essence, when you pay for an extended service contract when you buy a vehicle, the company you buy it from is off the hook for the first 3 years/36,000 miles any way. So in reality, under their contract, certain parts such the bushings are really covered for only 14,000 miles and then you are out of luck with them. It left a very bad taste in my mouth with this company.
I leased a 2004 BMW 645ci through Wells Fargo. The lease came due in Oct 2009 which I decided to keep the car and finance the balanced owed through WF. The WF representative offered an Extended Warranty program for 36 months or 30 thousand miles for $1500 which I decided to purchase. I received the loan documents in November which I signed and returned to the bank.
December, I was on my way into my office when a waring light came on advising to stop driving the car which I did immediately and had it towed back to my home. I contacted Century Warranty Services and they said I could take the car to any Certified Repair shop which I did that day. I had the car towed ($140) to a very reputable local repair shop ad had them look at it. It was diagnosed that there was a transmission issue but since their computer system was not updated, they suggested I take the car to the local BMW Dealership.
So I had it towed ($180) to Riverside BMW. After several days, BMW said the transmission had a seal leak and the transmission pan needed to be replaced. Now mind you, the vehicle does not have a warning system indicating a leak or the transmission fluid is low nor does it have a way for an owner to check the transmission fluid. It is a sealed unit and according to the BMW Warranty booklet the transmission is not even serviced until 100,000 miles, my car had 82,000 miles.
Also, there is an undercarriage that would have collected any fluids leaking from underneath, hence no fluid leaking on the floor of my garage. Riverside BMW confirmed that there would have been no way I would have known of the leak or that the transmission would have been low on fluid. The dealership contacted Century Warranty Services and they authorized the leaking seal to be repaired and the transmission pan replaced. Yes, they authorized the Repairs and told the dealership to contact them once completed and let them know if it took care of the transmission problem.
Repairs were completed but it did not completely fix the transmission issue, it continued to slip at the higher speed when shifting. It was determined that that there was more damage to the transmission as a direct result of the seal leaking. Century Warranty Services sent out an inspector again but Century Warranty Services denied the additional repairs to completed "Due to lack of lubrication" and driving while low on Transmission fluid. The lack of lubrication was because the seal leaked. I spoke numerous people at Century Warranty including several supervisors and they would not help me! All they did was suggest (stirred) me to take the car to Aamco, a National Account they have relationship with and maybe Aamco (per the supervisor) would be able to find something different than BMW, so I did.
I had the car picked up by Aamco and after several days, they determined the same results as Riverside BMW. The seal leaked (was replaced by BMW) and because of the leak the transmission fluid was very low which caused further damage to the transmission. Aamco explained to me that that to tear down my transmission, do all the "soft" repairs according to California Repair Standards, and put back together would cost $3495, now if there are any "hard repairs required that would extra. Aamco called Century Warranty Services, explained to them everything, the seal leaked, there is no warning system on the vehicle whatsoever, it is a sealed unit and the owner would never have had any clue of the leak but Century Warranty Services denied the claim again! !...Due to lack of lubrication.
I had been without a vehicle since December 2009, it is now April 2010. I had no choice to to authorize Aamco to tear down my transmission and agreed to pay the $3495 hoping that would take care of everything. Well, that was not the case. I needed to have the Torque Converter replaced, ultimately costing me $6100.
I have read the complaints on this website regarding the very same Century Warranty Services and in dealing with Riverside BMW and Aamco I have heard numerous and similar stories of customers purchasing extended warranty service plans only to not have them honored. I plan to look at my options to take Century Warranty Services to court and warn anyone against from purchasing an extended warranty program. These companies get your money and then leave you hanging!
I leased a 2003 Dodge truck from Wells Fargo. The lease ran up and my choice was to pay them $3,000 and they keep the truck or finance it for $8,000. My initial decision was to give the truck back to them since it had over 100,000 miles. They convinced me to finance the truck and they would give me an extended warranty. It cost $1,300.00. I agreed.
On February 15th, 2010, I took the truck to a Dodge dealer to have the electric window switches repaired. There was a leak in the exhaust manifold and the engine lights came on including the oil indicator. Century denied all the repairs. The crazy thing is that they require diagnostics to be done before they will agree to repair, and in this case, I had to pay the dealer over $500.00 for just the diagnostics. Century said that since none of the repairs were covered, they would not pay the diagnostics or the car rental. I called Wells Fargo auto finance and told them that since they sold me the warranty claiming it's an extension of the factory warranty, they better take care of this, or I'll see them in court. So court it is. I'll use some of the comments on this site to support my claim of fraud.
I owned a 2004, Lincoln aviator. I purchased this vehicle from Rancho Ford 07/02/07 with 52,340 miles. It was reccomended I purchased extended warranty for my car. On September, 2009, I was taking my two children to appointment[s] in San Diego. On my way to the optometry office, I noticed my tire light was on. I immediately stopped at Firestone to have my tires checked. The serviceman adds air to a tire and the light went out.
I left firestone and continue to San Diego as planned. I merged on the 15 South free way to go to San Diego. My children and I smelled smoke and noticed it was coming from the rear of the vehicle. I was able to merge off the freeway and exited Temecula parkway/route 79 and drove slowly to Rancho Ford car dealer/Repair shop.
The car started leaking oil on the ground. I explained what happen and was told they will checkout the problem. Meanwhile, I rented a car from enterprise to take my son to ENT as planned. I was told by the Ford representative that the Bell housing needed repair and the repair will cost over 5,000. She contacted Century extended warranty to request repair. Century warranty stated an inspector will evaluate the defect within 24 to 48 hours. 2 days passed and I did not hear from Ford. I called the service rep and she contacted Century to find out the status when the rep is coming. I received a call from the Ford Rep that Century denied the claim due to the aviator was not brought in sooner/ driven before bringing the car in.
I contacted Century warranty and requested to talk to the Supervisor. I was forwarded to his line and reached a voicemail. I explained the situation and requested a return call. I called the next afternoon and was told the Supervisor was gone for the day. I called the 3rd day and talked to Supervisor, I explained there was no warning or problem except for the tire light turn, and the smoke from the rear of the SUV. He stated the inspector said the lines or something was black that showed the car was driven too much prior to the needed car repair. I again stating what happen. He stated he would contact the inspector and he will get back to me. I waited 2 days and no response from the Supervisor. I called Century warranty and was told by one of the agent it was denied.
I went ahead and consented to have the car repaired. The Ford rep called and said I needed new tires and I consented to purchase 4 new tires. The Ford called few days latter and stated the wrong parts were order and it will take another couple of days for the car to be repaired. I received a call from the rep stating the parts were in and the car should be ready 9/4/09. I received another called stated the Ford rep was going on vacation and one of her associate was taking her customer. I did not receive an update on my car and I called today (9/10/09) for status on my car.
I left a message on the agent voicemail, and I didn't receive a call back. I called back and the agent was paged and called me back. He told the car went out for a final test drive and found another problem. The gearbox or something and it would cost additional 1,700 to fix. I asked to call Century to take of that problem and was told by the agent if Century warranty denied the bell housing claim, the company will deny this claim too.
By the way, I took my car in for an oil change 04/17/09 and to find out why the engine light was on. A diagnostic was done and Electest codes were PO171 and PO174. PCV tube was replaced to correct the vaccum leak. 05/20/09- Engine and tire lights on, took vehicle to Rancho Ford for service. This time the Electest codes were PO306, P0307,PO316,Relative compression test. CYL. 7 down 5 % internal engine problem, checked mode #6. and defective left front low tire sensor. needs ignition coil.
Ford agent contacted Century warranty to request coverage. Century requested further diagnosis for low compression cylinder #7. A manaual compression test was performe. Century approved coverage for L/R tire sensor but denied coverage for low compressor cylinder repaired. Century stated the compression results were within industry standards, and did not need repair. This visit total $1046.46 replaced rear brakes,rear rotor and #6 coil replacement.
I am forced to rent a car the duration my cars in the repair shop over the past 2 weeks and it is still not ready and needs additional repair. I recently was laid off and this unexpected car repair expense is putting me a hole. I already paid over 2,000 dollar in car repair that Century denied 2 months ago. If something can be done, I appreciate your advice.
I bought my truck in August of 2007. I bought the full warranty to cover anything like everybody thinks. The first week of having it, the engine blew and my dealer told me I was getting a new engine and then I picked it up. They told me that my warranty company would not pay for a new engine and they put a used engine in my truck. They did not know how many miles or hours were on the engine. They had my truck for 2 months. Then, I picked it up and I had another problem with the engine which took 2 days to figure out. Now, I just took my truck in and the dealership called me and told me my warranty which I paid for wasn't covering everything wrong. I'm so upset I just want to get rid of my truck. Please help.
I have a 2004 Lincoln Navigator with 39,000 miles. It was a lease that I bought out from Wells Fargo Bank. I had bought this car in 2004 and have owned and maintained it through the dealerships. When I bought the lease out, Wells Fargo lease sold me this extended warranty through Century Warranty Services, Inc. - a premium care package. Per Wells Fargo, the same as my Factory Ford warranty. Well I noticed a rough idle, so I took the Navigator to my now local Lincoln/Ford dealership in Livermore, CA. They advised the engine had low compression on three cylinders. They called Century Warranty Services Inc., who sent an adjuster to the dealership and then said they would not cover the $2,800 bill to start tearing down the engine to find the problem. They want me to cover the $2,800 bill until they find out what is wrong and then they may cover the work.
The premium care package I paid for is supposed to cover all work, worn or broken. What gives? This has still not been resolved and I'm getting nowhere with them or the bank on this. I'm still making payments on this vehicle with only 39,000 miles on it and afraid to drive it not knowing what is wrong with the engine and the compression problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
In November of 2008 I purchased my 2005 Passat off lease from VW Credit. The car only had 35,000 and being that my daughter will be driving to school, I thought I should also purchase a warranty and did so from VW credit. Recently my car started making noises in the front end. I brought it to the local service center where it was discovered that the car would need front axles. I handed the service agent a copy of my warranty so they could get the cost covered. The first thing I was not happy about was this warranty, although sold to me by VW, was a third party warranty and I needed to speak with them. (Century Warranty Services Inc.) They told the service center this was not covered under warranty because the Constant Velocity Joint Boots have been damaged.
I understand every day wear and tear parts such as breaks, tires and so on, can not covered under warranty. But for the company to specifically not warranty the CVJ boots, leads me to believe there is a known problem with them. And after further research I found this to be true.
I have made several attempts to have my car fixed by Century Warranty and VW. No one will take time to listen to my problem, especially at VW.I feel that since I now own the car Volkswagen and Century Warranty wants nothing to do with me and thats fine and I now know where I stand with Century Warranty and Volkswagen. I have never seen such horrible customer service.My request from VW and Century Warranty was to please fix my car, which was estimated around $600.00 or refund my cost of the Premium Care Coverage warranty of $1546.82.

Analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their motivation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Social workers, in turn, will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.

Does anyone really need to save the little piece of the umbilical cord that falls off a few weeks after a child is born? In a book I received as a gift, there were two pages in the center with small pockets. Each was labeled. There was a place for my son's clipped cord stump, first tooth, first lock of hair and even his first fingernail clippings. Seriously?
"Life isn't a matter of milestones but of moments."
- Rose Kennedy
Parents, especially new parents, are all about milestones. A first-time mother is likely to record each first step, first tooth and first word as if it were breaking news. At every baby shower, someone brings a memory book as a gift. There are pages with lists of milestones so new parents can document each developmental victory. Some of these books have a little too much detail, though.
Does anyone really need to save the little piece of the umbilical cord that falls off a few weeks after a child is born? In a book I received as a gift, there were two pages in the center with small pockets. Each was labeled.

Parents want to keep track of all the important moments in a child's life. I get it. But it's supposed to be a baby book, not an episode of "CSI: Childbirth." The only other place you find hair, teeth, bloody tissue and nail scrapings is an evidence locker at a morgue. Eww….
Last week, a friend celebrated her son's first birthday. There was party, complete with lots of other babies around the same age. When you have older children, it's easy to forget what babies are really like. My kids are 22, 14 and 11. The baby days are over, and that is a good thing. At this party, there were little ones who were walking, crawling and cruising around the furniture, holding on to keep from toppling over. Infants and toddlers are never still for long.
They can be pretty messy, too. Looking around, I realized that these beautiful little creatures were similar to a friend's old pick-up truck. Like some babies, it often smelled bad, leaked a lot, and if you turned your back for just a second, it could roll away. This party was a milestone for my friend and her sweet boy, and it reminded me of my own.
Just because the baby book is closed doesn't mean the milestones have stopped. Recently, my daughter had an occasion to dress up for an event. A real "big kid" party dress, no ruffles and lace. Shoes that had heels, and yes, she was even allowed to wear a little lip gloss. I sent a picture to her godmother, and she was astonished. I went to college with Mary; I still remember dress shopping with her for a party we were both going to. I remember pictures of us with our friends all decked out. How can it be that I am now doing that with a child? I have a baby book, but I didn't plan on speed-reading it.
While a baby's first birthday and a tween's first grown-up-style party are happy days, not all milestones are. There is no page in any baby book to record the first time your kid comes home from a party drunk. I don't think any parent would reach for the camera before heading out to pick up their kid in the principal's office because Junior got suspended for punching another student. We all save our kid's artwork and award certificates, but would any parent frame a speeding ticket or the math test with a big red "F" on the top? Probably not.
It's interesting to note that there are no books to record the accomplishments and milestones that we have once we are adults. It's like as soon as a person graduates from school or gets married, they are done. Close the book, frame the pictures, and the story is over. But it's not, and we all know that. This is where social media has filled a need we didn't know we had. Take a look at the pages of people you know on Facebook. It's basically a baby book on steroids.
There is a timeline, so that life events can be added. And those events are not just graduation, jobs and marriages. The flip sides of those events show up, too. People go from "married" to "single" with the click of a button. There's even an option for "It's complicated." When a friend lost her job, after the initial reaction of "take this job and shove it," she posted her resume on her page to let people know she was looking for a position in her field.
Grown adults want their friends to know when they have a new home, a new love interest or just a new car. I like shoes, and on my page, sometimes a new pair (or an old pair dragged out of the closet) gets broadcast to my friends. It's not that shoes are a big, important life event. Neither is the lock of baby hair my mother saved. It's just a way to remember a moment.
These precious times should be recorded, at least in some way. I dropped the ball after my first child. His baby book is complete. The second child's memory book is only half done, stopping about the time he learned to walk. There is no book for my daughter. I have pictures, I have memories, but they're scattered and unorganized, much like myself. Seeing these sweet babes at my friends party crawling around in puddles of drool and juice boxes reminded me to take more time to document more of what happens in my kids' lives. The good, the bad and the sticky. It's all worth a page in the book.

Congressional caucus formed to promote green schools
A new caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives has formed to raise awareness of and promote the benefits of green schools and their ability to foster learning, protect students' and teachers' health, save school districts' money and reduce their impact on the environment.
A new caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives has formed to raise awareness of and promote the benefits of green schools and their ability to foster learning, protect students' and teachers' health, save school districts' money and reduce their impact on the environment.
With the active support of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the Green Schools Caucus was created in October by founding co-chairs Rep. Darlene Hooley, D-Ore.; Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas; and Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah. The goals of the caucus are to raise awareness of the benefits of green schools, lead the policy discussion on the topic in various forums, create legislative opportunities for the collective efforts of the caucus members, and provide members of Congress with constituent outreach resources. Caucus members and their staff will participate in educational programs to learn what is going on nationally and in their districts, including site visits to green schools and educational panels with teachers, architects and school officials from across the country.
"As a former teacher, I am thrilled to lead the way in Congress in forming the Green Schools Caucus," Hooley said. "Through collaborative partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, we will work to raise awareness among the public and members of Congress of the benefits of building green. By using alternatives to toxic chemicals, pursuing green building and maintenance practices, changing resource consumption habits, serving nutritious food, and teaching students to be steward of their communities, we'll help put future generations at the forefront of sustainable development."
"Schools are vulnerable to the sky-rocketing costs of energy," Matheson said. "When their energy budgets take a hit, kids' education suffers. By encouraging green school buildings, we help save money, demonstrate the latest technology and increase educational opportunities for the kids who spend much of their day in that building."
"The Green Schools Caucus is an outstanding opportunity to help our schools save money, help society save the environment and, ultimately and most importantly, help make sure our children are attending classes in the safest indoor environments possible," McCaul said. "As a father of five children, making sure our children can learn in safe, clean and efficient schools has always been and always will be a top priority."
Fully 20% of Americans go to school every day. Too often, the schools they attend are unhealthy, inefficient and not as conducive to learning as they could be. Green schools create a nurturing learning environment, decrease student and teacher absenteeism from respiratory and other illnesses, and provide models for teaching the world's future leaders about sustainability to benefit communities for generations to come. They create new hands-on learning opportunities for students. And they save money through reduced water and energy bills. A 2006 study sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers, the American Institute of Architects, the American Lung Association, the Federation of American Scientists and USGBC found that building green would save an average school $100,000 each year in energy costs alone - enough to hire two additional full-time teachers, purchase 5,000 new textbooks, or buy 500 new computers. According to "Greening America's Schools: Costs and Benefits, 2006," it costs on average less than 2% more - about $3 extra per square foot - to build a green school rather than a conventional school. The payback occurs within one year based on energy savings alone.

I grew up in a peaceful organized household, thus setting up an estate sale with all the organizing that's needed, comes easily for me.
However, when I handle hoarders sales, it's a bit tricky. In that, each hoarder has their own way of hoarding. Some just add piles and piles all over the home of things they like or purchase items because it's on sale. Others seek out special toys, coins etc that may be of value in their later years. It's extremely relative to whomever is hoarding.
Last year I handled a huge sale in the city. The owners, now in their eighties, needing medical assistance finally moved into an assisted living establishment. My sale took place over one weekend, as usual. On Sunday's sale date, the owner called me sixteen-times to inform me of what they didn't want sold! Mind you, we set aside many items throughout our setup for family to pick up and take to them. Each call the owner very politely said Victoria this is….honey, please don't sell the planters out back. Please don't sell the metal chairs out back. Please don't sell the tea cups, the broken chair out back – we just love it! (Note each item called about was broken, rusted or just no use to anyone any longer nor were they able to repair it at this juncture in their life). I don't recall each request, however the requests were always for something that no longer could serve them or anyone else.
Another sale housed tons and tons of salable items, however the owner needed to sell the home and told me to give it away and that she didn't care what it brought. However, I had to pay my help and make an income. The fact that she told me to give it away helped me considerably! This comment allowed me to set up the thousands upon thousands of items without taking hours and hours to price it after set up, which she agreed to. This enabled me to purge all items via verbal pricing each sale day.
Customers love these types of sales, as do I. Thus, this sale became a bag and pile-it-up sale. Goodness, the customers flowed in, happy to rummage through the now organized lot. Each one carried up an armload of items from the basement, which pleased me and the homeowner. Meaning she wouldn't have to hire workers to do what these paying customers were doing, ridding her very full home of all she and her partner bought and carried in over the years.
She was very pleased. Of course, these type of sales don't always bring in big bucks, however handling sales like these, are a blessing to each client that needs all items out to sell their home swiftly and move to a smaller place.
Another hoarders estate housed so many items in it's over 5000 square foot home that it certainly was overwhelming! When I'm commissioned to handle these types of sales, I pause, take it in, then begin silently figuring out how to set it up. How many sales will it take? This one housed many many toys in original packaging. From experience, I knew I'd have to take two weeks to set it up, research and sell only the toys on one or two weekends, then sell the remainder contents, one of the following weekends. They wholeheartedly agreed as they were perplexed as to how to get rid of everything. This turned out to be the best sale I had that year!
I make Estate Sales Easy for those that scale down and for those that have lost a loved one.
My book, Estate Sales Made Easy, is now on Amazon for pre-purchasing at: Estate Sales Made Easy
The hard copy comes out late summer 2017! I'm so excited! It's published by the same publisher that publishes Chicken Soup for the Soul! Hay House publishing. With an eBook coming out first! Some time in the mix a live Webinar and a Radio show coming, dates/times to be announced.
Check it out! Not only is this a how-to begin a business guide like mine, but it includes stories of energies I see, feel and often times hear within each estate. Note the sparkle within the letter A denoting something more…..
Watch for more books on this subject, which also includes the stories each house offers up….

|Cases & Wallets
|Conference Wallets
If you are going to all the effort to organise a conference, you have to maximise the opportunity it represents.
A Promotional Conference Wallet in which to store and hand out any collateral for delegates is an ideal solution to brand your event.
What you have your conference wallet made from is up to you, but we can advise if required. Typically, a conference wallet is made from polypropylene, in an envelope style, but why limit your options? Marketing and promotion isn't about following the crowd. Evans Graphics have used a number of different materials to make the perfect conference wallet.
Conference Wallet materials include:
And the shape is up to you as well. Envelope style isn't your only option. Having been creating wallets for over 25 years, we have a range of dies ready to use, but we can design, develop and create a die to create the shape you are after.
You also have to consider closure mechanisms for your conference wallet. At one end of the spectrum, it can be a simple tuck, but we can also add more secure closures which will raise the perceived quality of your wallet and its contents.
Because Evans Graphics have continuously invested in the latest printing technology, we can print, full colour, on to just about any substrate, direct from your artwork.
However, if you need a little help, contact our design department and they will help you achieve the look and feel you are after.

I would like to address the problem of elder care in New Jersey. As an employee of Spring Oak Assisted Living of Vineland. I have become very concerned for the senior citizens in New Jersey. There are many senior citizens that are waiting to become a resident of our facility who rely on Medicaid. Medicaid funds for assisted living have been frozen since Oct. 31, 2002. They can, though, enter a nursing home because Medicaid fully funds them, providing they meet the eligibility requirements.
Many people don't know what the difference is between a nursing home and an assisted living facility. A nursing home provides care to people who have a 24-hour skilled nursing need. They share a hospital type room with another resident who also has 254 hour skilled nursing needs.
An assisted living facility is an apartment community designed for senior citizens who require assistance but not 24-hour skilled nursing services. They may receive assistance with ambulation and transfer, incontinent care, assistance with eating, administration of medications and other nursing services provided by trained caregivers and overseen by a registered nurse.
At Spring Oak Assisted Living, they can choose to live in a spacious studio, a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment. Each apartment comes equipped with a kitchenette, a full bath, carpeting, window treatments, individually controlled heat and air-conditioning and a state-of-the-are emergency response system.
They receive three delicioius meals prepared daily by our chef and served in an elegant dining room. There are also scheduled activities and events seven days a week. It really is a wonderful place to live!
Because Medicaid funds are currently frozen for assisted living facilities, senior citizens who do not need 24-hour assistance are being put in nursing homes or are being forced to stay home where they cannot adequately take care of themselves or receive the home care they need. This is not only very depressing for these senior citizens, it also adds to the deterioration of their conditions. In other words, even though these senior citizens have worked all of their lives and paid their taxes, they are being penalized for needing government assistance in their elder years.
There must be a reason why the New Jersey government is not paying for assisted living. It probably is very expensive compared to a nursing home. Right?
Wrong. The government or rather the taxpayers, spend approximately 50 percent more to send someone who does not need 24-hour care to a nursing home. It just doesn't make sense.
We have to let Governor McGreevey know that this is something that needs his immediate attention. After working hard all their lives, our senior citizens should receive the care they deserve.

In August of 2014 I wrote a post called EVE Unbalanced – The Sandbox is a Lie and in one part of it I explored an idea of how player security status could potentially be made more meaningful. I still think the idea has merit and is a change worth making to reduce EVE Online's "villain" bias so "hero" play can be more integrated and more visibly represented in the game. Having sat on the idea now for two and a half years, I'd like to expand on it a little, particularly in light of other small mechanic changes CCP has introduced recently.
Standings toward NPC corps now have additional practical application thanks to the new mining fleets. I was really excited about this; it creates new and worthwhile motivation for players to engage in PVE and even to be more choosy about which corps they PVE for. Great! While standings are a totally separate thing to sec status, the mining fleets elegantly demonstrate how CCP can make a relatively small change to an existing mechanic that results in reasonably meaningful impact for lots of players.
So what about sec status? The issue I lamented about before still exists: PVPers are unilaterally punished by CONCORD in the form of sec status hits regardless of the sec status of their target (excluding criminal flags or combat in lawless space). Still dumb overall, while positive sec only being obtainable via PVE continues to foster the nasty and toxic attitudes that exist about positive sec, PVE, and carebears.

My son is 15, but can beat those chollege kids any day, in math that is! What should he major in, and what profession would be best for him?
sort by best latest
Maths itself probably has the most diversity and decent job prospects as well, though on that front engineering is always a good bet, but ElleBee is right, it does just depend on what his other interests are.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
Well I'd say there are many options:
He could major in math - and become a mathematician, middle school math teacher, high school math teacher, or college professor.
He could major in economics, accounting, physics, chemistry, engineering. All of those have a strong math component.
Seems like there are lots of choices here. You/he also needs to look at some of his other skills. Is he patient and good at explaining mathematical concepts to otehrs? If not he should probably rule out math teacher. Does he enjoy math enough that he wants to do it as a career? Or does he also have other interests?

I'm fairly new to the OrCad package. I'm trying to create a footprint for a DDR2 IC (MT47H128M16RT-25E:C) I'm going to use in my system. This IC comes in a 84 ball BGA package with 0.45mm ball diameter. What padstack do I use?
I'm using the Package Symbol Wizard. There is something called "Bgapad" in the padstack list, but it's not working, all I get when I'm done with the wizard is a polygon with no pins.
Thanks for the help in advance :)
Well, for now, I'm using the 4MM_RD padstack, with a width of 15.75mils(0.4mm).. It's the same padstack used by the OMAP-L138 footprint that I'm using provided by TI. The balls on the L138 seem to have the same dimensions(or at least within the same range: tolerance levels of 0.55/0.45 on the L138, while the DDR2 IC only states ø= 0.45) with the same pitch(0.8mm).
Someone please let me know if I'm way off. (I'm also fairly new to PCB design in general, as you might have guessed)
The padstacks provided are just sample libraries. If you need a padstack of a different size then use the Pad Designer to create new ones. This way you can design a bga pad to suit. Have a look for c:\cadence\spb16.x\doc\algrolibdev\algrolibdev.pdf for details of pad and footprint creation.

- Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm
Mount Gellibrand Wind Farm will be located 25 kilometres east of Colac and 17km west of Winchelsea in the Colac Otway Shire on Victoria's Western Plains.
The wind farm will be constructed around the southern and western sides of Mt Gellibrand itself. These open and partly elevated plains make the site an ideal location for a wind farm.
The Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm will bring significant economic activity and benefits to the Colac region. The $258m project will generate significant economic activity in the region, with over 100 construction jobs and approximately 10 ongoing full time equivalent positions on site.
ACCIONA Energy is committed to engaging with the local community surrounding the Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm project. We also acknowledge the importance and value of feedback (including both enquiries and complaints). We can be contacted via our free call community information hotline 1800 283 550, by email at email@example.com, or by post PO Box 252, South Melbourne, VIC 3205. A copy of the Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm Complaint and Evaluation Process can be found here.
For copies of the latest Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm newsletter please click here.
Planning approval was granted by the State Government in 2006 for the development of up to 115 wind turbines. In 2008 ACCIONA Energy obtained the development rights to the Mt Gellibrand project.
ACCIONA Energy reduced the number of turbines on the project to 44, and has obtained final Development Plan approval from the State Government.
In July 2016 ACCIONA Energy successfully won the tender held by the Victorian State Government for the purchase of green energy certificates linked to renewable energy generated in Victoria.
Construction is underway with operation commencing in mid-2018.
The Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm will bring significant economic activity and benefits to the Colac region:
The site covers an area of about 29km², with a coastal exposure of nearly 11 kilometres. The Wind Farm consists of 33 two-megawatt wind turbines – generating enough green electricity to supply 35,000 homes every year.
ACCIONA is progressing plans to build the Berrimal Wind Farm. ACCIONA has a planning permit to build up to 16 wind turbines on a site about 16 kilometres west of Wedderburn and 19 kilometres south of Charlton.

In another post here (I wish I could remember exactly which one) a poster was defending a specific preservation product and tangentially referred to aerators "damaging" wine ............ at least I think that's the word that was used. With the rising use of Vinturis, Nuances, and the like I thought this might be a subject worth exploring.
I sometimes explain what happens with a Vinturi as similar to a Moroccan restaurant server pouring your tea from 5 feet above your cup (minus the distance), or suggest (with a wink or two) that you could put the wine in a blender as well. But DOES that injection of air from an aerator do anything really negative to wine?
I've been an 'aerator holdout' myself, but mostly because I like to experience wine the way the winemaker made it, or at least with no mechanical intervention. On the other hand I have loads of experience with wine lovers who swear by these devices. There are other devices that do little more than move the wine through a twisting tube and/or through a spherical space. These seem less potentially 'damaging', but I'm not sure they really DO anything.
What do you think?

Let's see. Update on my life.
Basically the same really. Found a couple buddies to smoke a little pot with. I'm pretty knowledgeable on the subject, but I'm book smart, not street smart. I smoked first in 6th grade, but I didn't smoke after that until freshman year. Now, as a senior, I'm starting to hang with this dude more and more and smoke a couple bowls with him a few times a month. Anyone with info on this kind of subject, I'd be glad to listen to you. Tips, tricks, types of weed, or if you just want to call me a bastard and that I'm going to hell for it. I'm welcome to anything.
Second update, I've got a date to a "romantic" dance at our school. AND I GOT ASKED HOLY SHIT! She's actually pretty cute, so I'm excited. I'll keep you guys updated on the situation, because my personal life is the coolest thing on Impornant.newgrounds.com. If anything dating or sexual comes outta this, I'll probably post a picture.
Finally, a couple quick updates. I've got a possible internship at our local ISP so that's pretty cool. Completing the internship nets me a free laptop, so that'd be great. Also, next month is my birthday, and I'm planning on getting a tattoo on my hand. I've been thinking about it for two years, so I've definitely thought about it long enough.

Revolutionary Suicide – Huey P. Newton via Lupe Fiasco's Book Club
Posted by Hymn | Filed under Read A Book N*gga
Eloquently tracing the birth of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's famous and oft-quoted autobiography is as much a manifesto as a portrait of the inner circle of America's Black Panther Party. From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panthers to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is smart, unrepentant, and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.
This week Lupe Fiasco's Book Club read's a book from Huey P. Newton. I guess this nigga Lupe isn't a light reader, heavy thinker and raps sometimes.

Aggies reach first CWS since 1999
Early offense stuns Seminoles.
Updated 9:20 am, Tuesday, June 14, 2011
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Texas A&M senior Kevin Gonzalez, draped in his drenched catcher's gear, sprinted toward pitcher Nick Fleece in the midst — and mist — of one final throw from second to first late Monday. Gonzalez tackled Fleece, and their teammates tackled them.
Then the Aggies, in a North Florida drizzle, rejoiced in the end of a 12-year College World Series drought.
"I was just hoping nobody would get hurt," a grinning Gonzalez said of A&M's triumphant dog pile that wrapped up an NCAA tournament super regional at Florida State. "We need them this week."
A&M, behind an outstanding start by Michael Wacha, whipped the Seminoles 11-2 in a deciding third game, punching its ticket to Omaha, Neb., for the first time since 1999. The Aggies hadn't won a lone super regional game since that season but followed Saturday's 6-2 victory behind starter Ross Stripling with the nine-run whipping of the favored Seminoles, who'd earned the nation's No. 5 seed and home-field advantage in the super regional. FSU had won the series' middle game 23-9 on Sunday at Dick Howser Stadium.
"There are two things I enjoy," A&M sixth-year coach Rob Childress said. "No. 1, sitting at the front of the bus and listening to our players laugh after we've won a game on the road. And, No. 2, watching our guys dog pile on the way to Omaha."

The Aggies join rival Texas in the CWS, and A&M will face defending national champion South Carolina at 6 p.m. Sunday in the opening round.
Wacha, a 6-foot-6 right hander, coolly slid into the role of Aggies ace after then-No. 1 starter John Stilson was diagnosed with a torn labrum in the week prior to the start of the postseason. Wacha won the Aggies' regional finale against Arizona a week ago. Childress on Sunday had elected to hold Wacha back for a potential third game, giving his arm another day's rest with the idea of having his top starter ready to go in a winner-take-all contest.
"I just knew I had to go out and throw strikes to help the team get to Omaha," Wacha said.
One day after they rolled up the 23 runs against the Aggies, Wacha held the free-swinging Seminoles to three hits and two runs while striking out eight over 71/3 innings.
"Wacha is the real deal," said coach Mike Martin, whose 32nd FSU squad wrapped up its season 46-19. "That was great stuff."
Meanwhile, A&M's offense jumped on FSU starter Hunter Scantling and reliever Brian Busch for four runs each in the first two innings in grabbing an 8-0 lead. The Aggies scored six runs in the first, an inning highlighted by Gonzalez's two-run double to right-center.
An inning later, Adam Smith crushed a two-out, two-run homer to lift the Aggies to an eight-run lead and put away the game shortly after it started, thanks to another strong outing from Wacha, who hasn't allowed more than five runs in an outing this season.

The surging Aggies, who were primarily led by their pitching through the first three quarters of the season, have averaged nearly eight runs per game over their last 11 contests. The showers came in the eighth on Monday, but they were too late to slow A&M's cruise to the CWS.
"We're rolling right now," Smith said. "When everyone is hitting, it's contagious."
So, too, was the celebratory dog pile started by Gonzalez and Fleece.

Lucas turns his back on Star Wars after years of criticism
It depicted the destruction of an evil regime, but as the years progressed it seemed to some that the franchise itself had mutated into a merciless, corrupt empire.
Now, after years of criticism from former devotees, George Lucas, the billionaire director, has suggested that he is ready, finally, to stop making Star Wars films.
"Why would I make any more, when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" he told The New York Times.
Rick McCallum, his longtime producing partner, confirmed that Red Tails, Lucas's current movie, which tells the story of black US airman during the Second World War, would be his final commercial project.
"Once this is finished, he's done everything he's ever wanted to…

Can inefficiency create work? Liberal economist Dean Baker and conservative economist Kevin Hassett think so. They have teamed up to promote the concept of "work sharing" as a solution to the high U.S. unemployment rate. Unfortunately, the scheme will make finding employment more -- not less -- difficult, says economist John Tamny.
What is work sharing?
- Under a work sharing program, firms are encouraged by government policy to spread a small amount of the pain across many workers.
- In a typical arrangement, a worker might see his weekly hours go down by 20 percent, and his salary go down by about 4 percent.
Baker/Hassett confuses what drives job creation, says Tamny:
- At its core, job creation is a function of investment -- where there's investment, jobs are plentiful.
- Baker/Hassett will scare away investment, and tax successful companies and individuals to fund their utopian vision.
To support work sharing, Baker/Hassett proposes that the federal government provide a tax credit to the firms that keep their least valuable workers employed. While perhaps compassionate at first glance, how does this help other companies that want to hire but don't have the funds to pay prevailing wages? The obvious answer is that the tax subsidy requested by Baker/Hassett will be the burden of expansion minded firms whose growth visions will be thwarted by government policy meant to keep the cost of hiring workers abnormally high, says Tamny.
Worse, for a government that by definition has no resources, for it to stimulate a work sharing program through tax subsidies, it must as a rule depress other, more vibrant parts of the economy. For the federal government to essentially pay certain firms to keep workers on their payrolls, the money must come from somewhere, and those depressed in this scenario will be the most productive American firms not in need of a handout, says Tamny.

disaster aid
The House Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a bill to allow places of worship to receive federal aid to repair their buildings damaged during Hurricane Sandy.
The bill, which garnered strong bipartisan support, is also expected to pass the Senate, and would address what its sponsors consider a discriminatory practice that keeps federal disaster money from religious groups.
Currently the Federal Emergency Management Agency excludes religious organizations but assists privately owned nonprofits. If the bill becomes law, it will make houses of worship eligible for relief on the same terms as other nonprofits.
"Today's debate and vote is about those who are being unfairly left out and left behind," Christopher Smith, R-N.J., one of the bill's lead sponsors, told his House colleagues.
"It's about those who helped feed, comfort, clothe, and shelter tens of thousands of victims now being told they are ineligible for a FEMA grant."
