Skye is a hacktivist with Rising Tide who finds herself reluctantly recruited by the military organization S.H.I.E.L.D.. She is Agent Ward's trainee and Coulson's protégée. It seems she may well have powers, as referred to in episode 12 "Seeds," although none have been discernibly demonstrated so far.
Early LifeEdit
Skye was discovered by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team in the Hunan province of China, and was herself an 0-8-4. The entire village and nearly the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. team got killed protecting her. She grew up at the St. Agnes Orphanage and in different foster homes who never kept her around for long, saying that she "wasn't a good fit". When she was nine she stayed with a family, called the Brodys, that Skye particularly wanted to like her, but they soon sent her back to the orphanage.[1] It is revealed in "Seeds" that the S.H.I.E.L.D. protocol covering her placement at the orphanage mandated her constant reassignment.
Skye became obsessed with finding out the truth about her parents and eventually she ran away and at some point in her life joined the Rising Tide, a computer activist (Or as Skye would say, "hacktivist") group. Skye and the Rising Tide shared certain beliefs about the freedom and accessibility of information. It was through the Rising Tide, that Skye bonded and became involved with master hacker Miles Lydon.
Skye spent two years living out of her van and using her skills to reveal classified data to the public while searching for information about her parents. However, in all of her searching, the only evidence she was able to find about them was a document with all of the pertinent data redacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. It was then that she came on to the idea to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.[2]
When Skye witnessed Michael Peterson's display of superpowers during an accident which would kill a normal human being, she advised him to run, because she knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. would try to make him disappear. However, after the meeting with Peterson and warning him about the "men in dark suits" who were after him, she was caught by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Phil Coulson and Grant Ward in her van and taken to a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base to interrogate her for the name of the hooded hero. She mentioned something called Centipede, but she refused to name the hero. Coulson then threatened her with a newly developed truth serum, but much to Skye's surprise, injected the serum into Agent Ward. Coulson then left Ward alone with Skye, allowing her to inquiry Ward about S.H.I.E.L.D.
While Skye didn't get anything top secret out of Agent Ward, she began to trust S.H.I.E.L.D, at which Coulson was glad as he was more interested in making her a part of the team than punishing her for the trouble she has caused. As Peterson's condition begun to worsen due to his exposure to Extremis, he kidnapped Skye, and her van, and forced her to save him and his son from the "scary men in dark suits". He made her drive to Union Station and requested her to delete any and all of his presence so he could effectively disappear and keep himself and his son safe from the powers behind Centipede. However, Skye managed to trigger a security breach on purpose which gave Coulson the coordinates of her position, allowing him and Ward to find her.
As Peterson attempted to run away with Skye and his son, a fight broke out between Peterson, Coulson's team and an assassin sent by the doctor who ran the centipede program to kill Peterson. Coulson's team managed to rescue Skye in time, as the confrontation between Coulson and Peterson ended with Peterson being shot by Ward with the antidote to neutralise the effects of Extremis. Later, after Skye and Coulson dropped Ace off with his Aunt Mindy, they headed back to the airfield in Lola, Coulson's hovercraft vintage red car. As Coulson drove, Agent Ward called a "0-8-4", to which Coulson asked Skye if she would join the S.H.I.E.L.D. She accepted the offer, and the two headed off.
In the episode 0-8-4 beginning Skye is seen emptying her van as the agents prepare for takeoff. Ward is talking with Coulson and May that she is not qualified to be a S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Coulson counters saying that Skye will serve great as a consultant specifically because she doesn't think like an agent, despite Agent May's argument that the girl is not cleared for combat. Simmons and Fitz greet Skye and then give her a tour of the plane before Ward gives her an emergency procedures pamphlet.
The team then travels to an unpaved airfield in Peru, to an Incan archaeological site in Llactapata. Skye offers to warn nearby residents, but Coulson instructs her not to publicize the discovery in order to keep the investigation "quiet and contained."
Conflicting LoyaltiesEdit
When a hack from Miles Lydon endangered the life of "Registered Gifted" man Chan Ho Yin, Coulson's team sought to bring him into custody. Tipped off by Skye, Lydon evaded capture and met up with Skye at his Austin, Texas apartment. Coulson, fearing that Skye might turn, tasked agent Melinda May to follow her. She confronted Skye and Lydon at his apartment and took them into custody.
While in custody, Skye tried to convince her team that Lydon was a good man who only believed in freedom of information. However, when agent Ward provided evidence that Lydon sold the information about Chan to mysterious sellers for one million dollars, she realized that he was not the man she thought he was.
Skye helped Ward extract Coulson and May when the operation to rescue Chan went bad. Afterward, Coulson gave Skye an ultimatum-- come clean with him, or be left behind. Skye decided to tell Coulson the truth about her quest for her parents and agreed to the stipulation of wearing a monitoring bracelet, one that keeps her from operating electronic equipment, in return for being allowed to stay with S.H.I.E.L.D.[2]
Coulson's DisappearanceEdit
When Coulson was taken away by Centipede, Skye was hit hard. She was involved in the capture of Vanchat, by hacking the elevator and bringing it up to the top floor, where several SHIELD agents stood, with Hand. Once back on the Bus, Hand wanted to kick Skye off, with Ward rejecting, but May agreed with Hand. She then went to Lloyd Rathman's house, an associate with Vanchat and Centipede. She posed as May to get Lloyd to co-operate and go into his bank account. She found out Centipede bought an estate in the desert. She notified Ward, May and Fitzsimmons. She then realised that May got her off the plane to make sure that no SHIELD agents looked over what she wanted to do. Ward, May, Skye and Fitzsimmons divided with the rest of SHIELD to go to the secret Centipede facility in the desert. May and Skye rescued Coulson from the facility and arrested Raina, to presumably the Fridge. Once Coulson came back, Coulson finally took off her tracking bracelet with 'Tracking Bracelet; Disengage'
In the search for Ian Quinn, Skye was responsible for tracking a large purchase Quinn made from a company called Cybertek. She found that the package was being transported by train and heavily armed, and the team decided to go undercover to board the train. Skye was paired with Fitz, and the two were responsible for communications. They posed as a young couple on a tour of Europe, Skye stealing the conductor's keys. She and Fitz set up comms in an unused room and start discussing the package on board. Skye wonders if it could be an 0-8-4, but Fitz says no, since they know the origin of the package is Cybertek. Skye then asks if an 0-8-4 could be a human. With this question, Skye reveals her hope that there might be another alien out there on Earth like her. She might not be alone. Fitz responds by telling her that it is possible, but he'd hate to meet the guy. One of the thugs from Cybertek bursts into the room and the two fight him off, but he detonates a toxin grenade just as Simmons runs in. Simmons is paralyzed along with the thug, and Skye and Fitz leave the train to trak down Cybertek and Ian Quinn after they see the thugs handing over the package. It leads them to a large villa and Skye decides to sneak in. She reaches the basement and sees Mike Peterson lying in a hyperbaric chamber, but is caught by Quinn. He takes Mike out of the chamber, fitting him with a prosthetic leg. Sky attempts to reason with Mike, but he doesn't listen, leaving to complete his orders given by the Clairvoyant. Quinn shoots Skye in the stomach, embraces her as she's about to fall forward, then shoots her again. He lowers her to the ground slowly, then leaves her to die, saying "I have my orders too". Skye tries to call for help but is unsuccessful due to the tremendous loss of blood. Coulson finds her near death and the team places her in the hyperbaric chamber. A tense moment passes, and Skye breathes a single breath, indicating that she is alive. It is still unknown whether she will survive and return to full health, as the episode ends there.
A civilian new recruit and computer hacker, described as "bubbly and goofy" but "also warm, edgy and witty." Skye always sees the best in other people, as shown in episode nine. She can more than hold her own in most situations.
- Simmons: Friend and coworker (sisterly feelings)
- Fitz: Friend and coworker
- Agent Ward: Friend and supervising officer (possible love interest)
- Agent Coulson: Superior officer (father figure)
- Agent May: Superior officer
- It's not yet known if Skye is her real name. However, given that her ex-boyfriend Miles Lydon called her Skye as well, it is either the name she'd been given by St. Agnes Orphanage, or the name she assumed after joining the Rising Tide with Miles, given that she was implied in "Pilot" to have unpersoned someone in the past, most likely herself. Her name and status as an 0-8-4 has let to as yet unsubstantiated speculation that she's an alien.
- In "Girl in the Flower Dress", it's revealed that all information about her origins was redacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. on 23 April 1989, possibly locked in a clearance level above Level 8, since even Phillip Coulson knew nothing about her in "Pilot".
See Skye's gallery here.
Skye: Usually one person doesn't solve the solution, but 100 people with 1% of the solution that will get it done. I think that's beautiful, pieces solving a puzzle.
Ward: You and I see the world differently.
"The Asset"
Quinn's Main Guard: [after Skye takes Quinn's gun] Kid's got balls.
Skye: Thanks, but yuck.
Ian Quinn: But do you have what it takes to pull the trigger?
Skye: ...Nope. [Skye turns around, jumps off the balcony and into the pool]
Skye: What's up Phil?
Coulson: I prefer you not call me Phil.
Skye: Ok, you're the boss AC.
"Girl in the Flower Dress"
Skye: Did you just give me a compliment?
Ward: I - no, I made a comment.
Skye: A kind one. Did it physically hurt to do that? Do you need an ice pack? [Ward smiles]
Skye: Wow! A compliment and a smile.
"The Well"
Skye: You guys may think it's old news, but it's new... news to everybody else. So, Asgardians are aliens from another planet that visited us thousands of years ago?
Coulson: Or more.
Skye: And because we couldn't understand aliens, we thought they were gods?
Coulson: That's where our Norse mythology comes from.
Skye: That's too crazy. Do you think other deities are aliens, too? Vishnu for sure, right?
Fitz: No! You do not touch that! Two semesters minimum of holographic engineering before you touch this!
Skye: All right, All right. I get it. I didn't go to your stupid SHIELD Hogwarts or whatever.
Skye: "Bad seed" isn't a S.H.I.E.L.D. term, Ward. Just a term.

Health care impasse muddled by physician fees
For about 90 minutes Wednesday afternoon, it appeared that the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance had made a crucial decision in the ongoing contract dispute between Highmark and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. On its website, on a page dedicated to answering frequently asked questions about the dispute, the site stated: "Once the contract expires, UPMC providers will be considered out-of-network." After queries from the Post-Gazette, though, the department quickly changed the wording to say UPMC providers "may be considered out-of-network." Insurance department spokeswoman Melissa Fox said it is still awaiting information from the two parties that will clarify whether UPMC physicians will be in-network for Highmark members during a one-year run-out period to June 30, 2013.The issue has been a major point of contention between health system UPMC and insurer Highmark since negotiations to renew their 10-year contract broke down earlier this year.

Warm yellow lights linger over the salon floor like pads of butter, casting their glow on mint-green and dark-red walls. Amid these snazzy accents, skilled stylists craft equally snazzy styles and bold highlights with Raw Hair by LG. Thirteen-year veteran Lakeisha Gibson leads the team, which includes stylists as well as a cosmetologist and a master nail technician. They can render all-over color applications or refresh tresses via the soothing hydration of a deep-conditioning treatment. They also perform salon relaxers and massage therapy.
The salon floor itself is a sandy marble pattern, and elegant green plants pop against the earth tones of the rest of the salon. There are even homey flourishes such as a rustic trunk, which is either a treasure chest or brimming with pairs of scissors.
The MVP haircut is reserved for guys who want the brawn of a chiseled cut with the extreme adrenaline rush of a pleasant pampering. Following careful instructions or expert intuition, stylists can clean up the edges without sacrificing any degree of edginess. A thorough shampoo and scalp massage ensures an itch-free walk off, while a neck and shoulder massage with steamed towel leaves cleaned-up batters with the zonal focus to connect on any upcoming office pitch.
Salon Ventures lacks one component found at nearly every other company in the world: employees. The salon's stylists and aestheticians all work as their own bosses, deciding for themselves which services to offer and which times to book appointments. This freedom can lead to some colorful results, as the staff can decorate their private rooms in whichever way they see fit. However these rooms end up looking, they all function as sanctuaries where clients can communicate their wishes during haircuts, highlighting treatments, and manicures. The salon houses more than 20 professionals— including a stylist that trained and worked in London at the Toni & Guy Institute—, and there's enough space inside to host large bridal parties or slip 'n' slide contests with shaving cream.
Karen Hawkins, a certified PCA skin representative, incorporates the product line into her facials to gently combat skin problems such as excessive oil or stubborn acne. Working from inside Salon Ventures, she also slathers warm wax over unwanted fuzz on arms, legs, backs, and chests for a smooth finish.

The Pearson system of utility functions
This paper describes a parametric family of utility functions for decision analysis. The parameterization is obtained by embedding the HARA class in a four-parameter representation for the risk aversion function. The resulting utility functions have only four shapes: concave, convex, S-shaped, and reverse S-shaped. This makes the family suited for both expected utility and prospect theory. We also describe an alternative technique to estimate the four parameters from elicited utilities, which is simpler and easier to implement than standard fitting by minimization of the mean quadratic error.Download Info

¢ Orley "Chip" Taylor, the KU professor who directs the Monarch Watch, again shows up in places around the world in articles about butterflies. This time it's at [DailyIndia.com][1], in an article by United Press International.U.S. scientists say an unusually large number of Monarch butterflies are expected to make their way south to their winter home in Mexico this season. "The temperatures were perfect, the moisture conditions were perfect. It was neither too hot, nor too dry, nor too rainy or too windy," said Orley Taylor, a University of Kansas professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.¢ Lawrence gets a mention in this [Austin Chronicle][2] story about band Moonlight Towers.They don't play it in Los Angeles because the Silverlake Lounge doesn't have air conditioning - neither does Lawrence's Tap Room - and, reckons Galloway, "I probably would have died."¢ Lawrence was used as the subject of a letter in a weekly satirical "Ask a Mexican" column printed in weekly newspapers owned by the New Times group, including the [Nashville Scene][3].I'm interested in hiring day laborers. I plan on feeding them, hydrating them and so forth. Problem is, I couldn't find them in Lawrence, Kan., where I have a project. Where do I find day laborers in Lawrence? Should I feel good about providing them work or (expletive) about denying an American the job? And how do I ask, "Do you know how to use a chainsaw?"

Michaela Tabb
Tabb refereeing a 2013 German Masters match in Berlin
Born | Bath, Somerset, England |
11 December 1967
Sport country | Scotland |
Professional | 2001 |
Michaela Tabb (born 11 December 1967, in Bath, England)[1] is a Scottish professional snooker and pool referee who has established significant milestones for female officials in cue sports. In 2002, she became the first woman to referee at a professional ranking snooker tournament. In 2007, she became the first woman to take charge of a ranking tournament final. In May 2009, she became the first woman to referee the World Snooker Championship final.
She formerly played on the women's eight-ball pool circuit, winning a number of titles as a solo competitor and as a member, and later captain, of the Scottish ladies' pool team.
Early life[edit]
Though Tabb was born in the south-west of England her family moved to Scotland when she was three years old.[2]
Prior to working as a professional snooker referee she was a sales representative for the Ann Summers lingerie retailer.[2]
Pool player[edit]
Introduced to the game by a boyfriend, Tabb started playing competitive pool in 1991, at the age of 23. Selected the following year to play on the Scottish Ladies' Pool Team,[3] she went on to captain the team to two consecutive "Grand Slams" in 1997 and 1998 by winning the Nations Cup, European Championships, and World Championships in the same season. She remained on the team until 2003.[4] Her sister Juliette Tabb also played on the Scottish ladies' team between 1996 and 2008.[5]
As an individual competitor, Tabb won the UK women's singles title in 1997. The following year, she won the European Women's Pool Championship in Gibraltar.[6]
Pool referee[edit]
Tabb became involved in pool refereeing in the mid-1990s when she and her husband, professional pool player Ross McInnes, began running amateur eight-ball and nine-ball pool tournaments. McInnes subsequently encouraged her to pursue refereeing at a professional level.[3]
She made her professional refereeing debut at the St. Andrew's Cup nine-ball pool tournament in September 1997.[6] She refereed on television for the first time the following year, when the 1998 St. Andrew's Cup, sponsored by Barry Hearn's Matchroom Sport, was broadcast on Sky.[7] She went on to become one of pool's top officials; she has refereed at the WPA World Nine-ball Championship, the Mosconi Cup, and the sport's other premiere events.[8]
Snooker referee[edit]
Stating that he wanted to change the dowdy, all-male image of snooker referees, Jim McKenzie, then chief executive of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, recruited Tabb to the sport in 2001.[9] Exempted from the customary five-year refereeing apprenticeship and placed on a fast-track toward officiating at professional ranking tournaments, she qualified as a Class 3 snooker referee in September 2001.[1] She conceded that this fast-tracking generated resentment among her fellow officials and referees.[10]
On 23 January 2002, she became the first woman ever to referee at a professional ranking snooker tournament when she took charge of a first-round match between Ken Doherty and James Wattana at the Welsh Open in Newport.[1] On 19 April 2003, she made her World Snooker Championship debut at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, refereeing a first-round match between Mark King and Drew Henry.[10]
In July 2003, dwindling sponsorship revenue forced the WPBSA to cut its number of tournament referees from ten to eight. Tabb's contract, along with that of Dutch referee Johan Oomen, was terminated on a last in, first out basis, threatening her future in the sport. However, the WPBSA soon reversed its decision to dismiss Tabb; she signed a new contract in September 2003.[9]
On 18 February 2007, Tabb became the first woman to officiate at a world-ranking snooker final as Neil Robertson defeated Andrew Higginson 9–8 in the Welsh Open. On 20 January 2008, she refereed her first Masters final at Wembley Arena in London, as Mark Selby defeated Stephen Lee 10–3.[11] On 5 April 2009, she took charge of the 2009 China Open final in Beijing, where Peter Ebdon beat John Higgins 10–8.
On 3 and 4 May 2009, Tabb became the first woman to referee a World Snooker Championship final,[6][12] as John Higgins defeated Shaun Murphy by 18 frames to 9 to capture his third world title. During the interval of the final's third session, the BBC broadcast a profile of Tabb, in which she discussed the pressures of juggling her family life with her busy refereeing and travel schedule.[13]
Tabb also refereed the 2012 World Championship final, in which Ronnie O'Sullivan defeated Ali Carter by 18 frames to 11 to win his fourth world title.[14][15]
On the evening of 24 April 2012, during the first round of the 2012 World Championships, Tabb and female Chinese referee Zhu Ying simultaneously officiated on the Crucible's two tables. This marked the first time at the Crucible that two matches were simultaneously refereed by women. As the referees walked out to officiate, they were accompanied by the song "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves".[16]
Personal life[edit]
Tabb studied chemistry, biology, and sociology at the University of Glasgow, although she dropped out before receiving her degree.[17] Before becoming a full-time professional referee, she worked as an advertising salesperson and as a job recruitment agent.[4]
Tabb resides in Dunfermline, Scotland, with her husband Ross McInnes and their two children.[6]

I never understood why cops ask questions like:
"Do you know why I'm standing here?"
"Do you know why I stopped you?"
"Do you know why I'm here?"
Like, figure out your spatial, existential issues elsewhere, bruh.
Pssst spoilers for real life: It's because they're trying to get you to self-incriminate. Always respond to such questions by reflecting the question respectfully.
"Do you know why I stopped you?"
"Why did you stop me, Officer?"
I don't even like Eminem, but I gotta tip my hat to that response.

Greetings and Salutations
My name is Mike Wytrykus. I am the cartoonist of the online comic strip Grimstone and the director of the award-winning animated short film Play Date. I am also currently developing concepts for future projects and exploring employment opportunities in both the comic book and animation industries.
This website is the hub of my presence in the digital world. From here you can explore the various comic & animation projects that I've worked on, order a cartoon art commission, and connect with me on social networks.
Project Spotlight
Play Date is the animated short film I directed for my college capstone course Animation Production Studio in 2010-2011. The film tells the story of a little girl pursuing a little boy through imaginary worlds in a game of make-believe. In 2013, Play Date won first prize in the Chicago Film Critics Association inaugural Emerging Filmmakers Award.
Grimstone is the online comic strip that I've been writing and illustrating on and off since the year 2000. I've also self-published a few issues of a Grimstone comic book series and a book collection of the strip's early years. In 2009, Grimstone took part in the Cartoon Art Museum's Monsters of Webcomics Virtual Gallery.

Twelve years ago, Rick Warren released his book The Purpose Driven Life. People were told every person in every church should read this book. Everyone needs to know why we are here on earth, and this book provided the answers. More than 32 million copies were sold.
Today we're living in a different time, and there is need for a different resource so that once again, millions can be helped but in a much different way. May tens of millions respond because time really is running out-yet it's not too late.
Last week a video was released entitled, Is Gay Okay? 10 Things Everyone Needs to Know. I submit to you that this is a video every person in every church needs to view. Everyone needs to know the most important issue Christians face today and the answers to the questions surrounding it. more >>
An hour or so before the Justice Conference was set to kick off its first main session, I stepped outside of the Orpheum Theatre to soak in one last bit of warm Los Angeles sun and "fresh" air. The red badge dangling from my neck caught the attention of a nearby elderly Hispanic man with smudges on his face, who inquired, "You a tourist?"
I've called the L.A.-area my home for the past 9 years, but I suddenly became acutely aware of how out-of-place I must have looked to this man. Inside the theatre, I was just one of the many hipster-looking young adults who gathered together because we knew that calling Jesus our Savior also meant some sort of tie with justice. Outside of the theatre, I was a tourist - a foreigner - disconnected with the downtown L.A. surroundings and its impoverished residents.
While the Orpheum Theatre was noted by the Justice Conference's website as "one of L.A.'s most venerable landmarks," the truth was that we were located less than two blocks away from Skid Row, an area synonymous with poverty and homelessness. While stories of international injustice boomed from 12-foot high speakers, we were sitting just steps away from factories in the Fashion District with "sweatshop-like" labor conditions. more >>
The religious persecution in Syria deepened this week, as evidenced by a written ultimatum purportedly distributed by the rebel jihadist group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) to Christians in the northern provincial capital of Raqqa. Rejecting conversion to Islam or death, some 20 Christian leaders of that city held firm in their faith and submitted to the Islamists' demands to live by as dhimmis.
Under this arrangement, in exchange for their lives and the ability to worship as Christians, they must abide by purported seventh-century rules of the Caliph Umar. According to the Raqqa ultimatum, these include bans on renovating and rebuilding churches and monasteries, many of which need repair because they've been shelled and blown up over the past three years, and bans against the public display of crosses and Christian symbols and the ringing of bells. They are forbidden from reading scripture indoors loud enough for Muslims outside to hear, and the practice of their faith must be confined within the walls of their remaining churches, not exercised publicly (at, for example, funeral or wedding processions).
They are prohibited from saying anything offensive about Muslims or Islam. The women must be enshrouded, and alcohol is banned. more >>
Louie and Shelley Giglio launched their first Passion Conference in 1997 with 2,000 students and have over the past 17 years, encouraged over one million college-aged students in the U.S. to turn their hearts to Christ and serve Him with their lives.
In addition to heading up the annual Passion Conference, the Giglios lead Passion City Church in Atlanta, Ga., which they founded in 2008. Giglio also launched last year the anti-slavery End It Movement that supports several organizations working on the ground around the world to end human trafficking, bring perpetrators to justice and restore broken lives.
In a wide-reaching interview with The Christian Post, Giglio talks about his latest projects, like his new Passion book, why he wants to hang out in the "university window," and why he finds it hard to believe that Jesus-following Millennials are leaving the church in large numbers, like recent surveys suggest. Instead, Giglio says, "I think a lot of students right now, young people are walking toward Jesus." more >>
A Lutheran pastor from the United States who served as chaplain for some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century is the subject of a soon-to-be released book.

I stayed in the Raddisson Blu Airport Istanbul Hotel for 2 weeks in September 2013. The hotel was paid for by my client so it was difficult to move to another. I have tomsaynitnwas an awful stay! When you travel a lot for business you get to know what to expect. First noticeable thing was that the reception staff never make eye contact and don't go out of their way to Steve you. Second is the waiters in the restaurant are not well trained. They are slow and lean across you when you are talking to clear plates and bring the wrong orders. Numerous times at. Read fast I had to serve myself tea as no one came to my table.
Most notable was the night when my phone rang at 1.30 and a member of staff asked if I was alone and whether he could come to my room. This was followed shortly after by a knock on the door. When I complained the Hotel Manager was disinterested and offered no support. Also I was to,d the CCTV cameras did not work. To add to the insult they overcharged me!!! Disgusting experience.

United Marketing Group, LLC Complaint - UMG - Buyer's Edge - Coupons, Rebates, Special Deals
Review by
Comments (4)
My 85 year old mother lives alone, on no income, only a small savings account she and my father had built.
Yesterday she told me she's getting a charge on her credit card statement that she doesn't know what it's for - UMG Buyer's Edge.
After doing some research, I discovered, that, like many others, she is being royally ripped off, charged 11.99 a month for "Special deals on travel and hotel coupons". How nice, especially since she never travels.
I called the # listed above, 888-432-5916, and I will say the lady at the other end was helpful in spite of my fury. :) She promptly stopped the "service" and, being authorized to reimburse two charges, she did so.

I have heard of that company, my girlfriend bought something online I think from Romans (not exactly sure) and part of the checkout was a box checked to "Sign me up for travel incentive program, 1st month free" so then the next month it starts and you forgot where it came from and it's a slam scam. But they do remove it easy. I think because they don't want any hype about it and I would be a lot of money is being made because people never notice it.
Posted by Ponie on 2007-12-14:
Since this was so quickly resolved, I don't think it should have been posted as a complaint.
Posted by Slimjim on 2007-12-14:
I have to agree with Ponie. Not knowing how the service was authorized to start with, which can be the only complaint here. Outside of that, they offered everything possible to resolve the situation.
Posted by fmast on 2007-12-15:
I beg your pardon. I guess I should be applauding this company for bilking an 85 year old woman with no income out of $12.00 a month. She has no idea how she got started. Wonderful marketing ploy. I wish I could think of a business where I could do that.
So if you don't want to look at this as a complaint, a warning???? advice to someone who needs help??

Fox's fairly imbalanced pro-Muslim influence
By Diana West
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Should Fox News register with the State Department as a foreign agent an agent of Saudi Arabia?
First off, is that a farfetched question? Not when a leading member of the ruling family of the Sharia-totalitarian "kingdom" of Saudi Arabia, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, has made himself the second-largest shareholder of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Fox News' parent company.
Just as Steven Emerson believes that American universities using Saudi mega-millions (many from Alwaleed) to set up Islamic studies departments should register as Saudi agents, I believe an American news channel part-owned and part-influenced by the Saudi prince should, too.
Alwaleed's long march through U.S. institutions is a mainly post-9/11 progression greased by his purchase of about a 5.5 percent stake in News Corp. in 2005, and his purchases, I mean, gifts, of $20 million apiece to Georgetown and Harvard Universities, also in 2005.
There have been other eye-catching displays of Alwaleed's largesse $500,000 in 2002 to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas- and Muslim-Brotherhood-linked entity, and a whopping $27 million, also in 2002, to the families of Palestinian "martyrs," aka suicide bombers. These, along with Alwaleed's self-described "very close relationship" with Murdoch son and apparent heir-apparent James, a left-wing global-warmist with virulently anti-Israel views, should only deepen Americans' concerns about Fox's ties to "the prince." Recently, Murdoch and Alwaleed have discussed expanding their business relationship through the Murdoch purchase of a substantial stake in Rotana, Alwaleed's huge Arab media company.
Before entering his Murdoch association, Alwaleed gave a remarkably candid interview in 2002 about what Arab News described as his belief that "Arabs should focus more on penetrating U.S. public opinion as a means to influencing decision-making" rather than boycotting U.S. products, an idea of the moment.
The Arab News reported: "Arab countries can influence U.S. decision-making 'if they unite through economic interests, not political,' (Alwaleed) stressed. 'We have to be logical and understand that the U.S. administration is subject to U.S. public opinion. We (Arabs) are not so active in this sphere (public opinion). And to bring the decision-maker on your side, you not only have to be active inside the U.S. Congress or the administration but also inside U.S. society.'"
And active inside U.S. society living rooms even better. Alwaleed would seem to have hit on a Fox strategy some time after Rudy Giuliani refused to accept, on behalf of a 9/11-shattered New York City, his $10 million check-cum-lecture that essentially justified the al-Qaida attacks as having been a response to U.S. foreign policy. This was "such an egregious, outrageous, unfair offense that I would have nothing to do with his money either," Sean Hannity said at the time on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes," his remarks (and those of other Fox personalities) recently re-examined by the left-wing group Media Matters. "This is a bad guy," Hannity said. "Rudy was right to decline the money." Bill Sammon called Alwaleed's check "blood money," adding, "we're better off without it."
How terribly ironic that this same "bad guy" is now a News Corp. blood-money bags, a boss who must be handled with care as, for example, Fox host Neil Cavuto did in a deferential interview with Alwaleed last month.
How does this influence Fox News coverage? It's impossible to say. Alwaleed has bragged that it only took a phone call to ensure that Fox coverage of Muslim rioting in France not be described as "Muslim" rioting in France, a boast News Corp. has never denied. This week, security analyst Joseph Trento, in light of recent negotiations between Alwaleed and Murdoch, mused online whether his own recent interview on "Fox & Friends" didn't appear in Fox's online video cache because he had told host Steve Ducey that "Saudi Arabian money was still financing al-Qaida." The doubt itself is damaging.
Meanwhile, spokesmen for terrorism-linked and Alwaleed-endowed CAIR still appear on Fox shows, for example, while Dave Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, likely Fox guests as conservative authors of the sleeper-hit book "Muslim Mafia" (an expose of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood), get zero airtime. The more important question becomes: How does Alwaleed's stake in News Corp. affect what Fox News doesn't cover?
If they don't report, we can't decide. This, for a Sharia prince, could be worth millions.

You finally own a futuristic flat-screen TV. It could hang on the wall, but you lazily decide to place it on a stand. What's the matter with you? Mounting a television isn't hard.

Hare krsna.
One thing I tell you, if you really want get more and more association of HH Bhakti charu swami maharaj then do visit Sri Sri Radha Madanmohan temple, ISKCON Ujjain. Maharaj will be there on coming Gaura Purnima. Also you can come some other time when Maharaj is there.
Hare Krsna!!
We would like to invite you to join our vaishnava group.
I donate money to the ISKCON Desire Tree because I want to do something useful, yet I do not have time (and sadly desire) to find different type of service. Years ago I was a very active member of the ISKCON, now I hardly ever visit a temple, although still think of Krishna and Vaishnavas, and hope to be "lifted" once again one day. So, something is better than nothing.
Thank you very much for your sincere service and optimism.
Mahadhana d.d.
