Cory Everson Fitness Complaint - Contract Termination
Review by
Comments (2)
ALABAMA -- I can empathize with the person who purchased a two year membership. I purchased a membership then continued treatment for a life threatening illness. After some complications, I went to the local Cory Everson Fitness Club, spoke with an employee, and was told that there would be a couple of months between the receipt of the mailed cancellation and the time that my cancellation would take effect. I was, however, assured that the cancellation was automatic at the end of the two year contract. I opted to wait for the end of the contract. I changed banks and had only some automatic drafts (including Cory Everson) coming out of one account. Imagine my frustration when I discovered that Cory Everson was still drafting funds each month. (I did not visit the club more than five times during the initial two years.) When I spoke with the manager, she was very nice and indicated that there was no record of any conversation that I had with any employee in the corporate records. She also indicated that a cancellation (before the 26th of the month) would still not stop the automatic draft from my account for the following month. I was also asked to send my cancellation form via registered mail so that I could have a record that the cancellation had been received. I am concerned that cancellation cannot be done at the local fitness center since that is where I joined. I am also concerned that there is no record of my visit to the fitness center to cancel my membership and that a membership can be continued forever. The mamager did note that Cory Everson would turn to collections agencies to collect funds until the cancellation was processed. I will be contacting service groups, religious groups, and others who may be involved with Cory Everson to make them aware of the "two year" contract and will strongly suggest that they look at another fitness center. If they are already members, I will suggest that they get out as soon as possible.

A common complaint with gyms is you sign a one, or two, year contract and they make it difficult to cancel after the time period is over. And they always have some auto payment set up. And many people really don't use the gym, so they end up throwing money away.
That said document everything you do and make sure they don't squeeze any more money out of you than they already have.
Posted by Cain on 2007-04-30:
Just an FYI--I received my cancellation information from Cory Everson. According to their printed information, request for cancellation requires 30 days written notification. Customer and member are the same. Customer is responsible for all fees until cancellation is effective. The request for cancellation does not mean that the cancellation will be granted. Cancellation provisions are as follows:
Medical: Customer must be totally and permanently disabled during the term of membership. Total and permanent disability means such disability as would prevent cusomter form using any of the seller's facilities. Acceptable proof is a written physicians statement. (Suppose the customer does not want his/her medical information floating around in a who knows where. No guarantee of attempting to protect the medical information is a part of the Cory Everson document.)
Relocation: If customer relocates more than fifteen miles from the club, the customer may cancel the contract if an affiliated club is not provided. Customer must provide proof of relocation in the form of a new lease or utility connection in customer's name at the new address. If an affiliated club is available in the area, member must transfer membership. Other accepatable proof of relocation are: rental lease (real estate or apartment complex), house deel or closing papers, utility bill in member's name (copy of marriage certificate if in spouse's name), utility turn on request or final bill (copy of marriage certificate if in spouse's name), college schedule (customer's name and school address must be listed), college dorm confirmation (customer's name and school address must be listed), military orders ( ETS/retirement orders are not accepted unless a DD412 is included). If none of these items are available, the following must be submitted: A letter from employer where and when hired or transferred--the letter must be on compnay letter with contact personl a family mmber cannot be the employer), paycheck stub with new address, driver's license with new address. Two of the following can be accepted--the most recent bank statement, credit card statement, other statement (Victoria Secret, JCPenney, etc.).
Proof cannot be dated prior to contract; no P.O. Box numbers are acceptable for addresses; physical addresses only.
Thirty days notice is required to avoid additional payments for another month.
Cancellation fee ($50.00) is required less contract is/has expired or is month to month). Local clubs do not keep copies of contract on file. Contracts are kept in corporate office so copies of contracts must be requested by local club from corporate office.
Verbal agreements are not honored.
The staff at the local club have been very cooperative, but I think they sometimes feel as awkward as I have felt. I just hope that other people will get the opportunity to read about my experience and that they will think long and hard before signing anything with this company.

A broad-stack test is a test that exercises most of the parts of a large application. It's often referred to as an end-to-end test or full-stack test. It lies in contrast to a ComponentTest, which only exercises a well-defined part of a system.

In Java, I would like to store (>10'000) arrays of boolean values (boolean[]) with length 32 to the disk and read them again later on for further computation and comparison.
Since a single array will have a length of 32, I wonder whether it makes sense to store it as an integer value to speed up the reading and writing (on a 32 bit machine). Would you suggest using BitSet and then convert to int? Or even forget about int and use bytes?

Michael Douglas' son Cameron is nursing a broken leg and a broken finger after he was reportedly attacked while behind bars.
RELATED: Trouble with the law
According to the New York Post, Cameron Douglas, who is currently serving time for drug charges, became a target after a New York mobster placed a $100 bounty on his head for co-operating with authorities and testifying against his two drug suppliers, illegal Mexican immigrants David and Eduardo Escalera, during their trial last year.
According to the Post, Douglas suffered the injuries in October and has undergone surgery to repair the damage he says was caused during a game of handball.
RELATED: A former Playmate is arrested
But a source suggests the troubled actor was hiding the real reason behind his injuries: "He broke his femur, which is hard to snap, and had to have a rod inserted. He told health services staff that he hurt them playing handball. You don't break a femur playing handball."
The insider adds, "They won't tolerate rats, and Cameron testified against the people who gave him the drugs."
The 34-year-old was ordered to serve five years behind bars for drug distribution and heroin possession, and last year he was handed an additional four-and-a-half-year term after he was caught smuggling heroin and Suboxone, a prescription medication used to dull the effects of opioid withdrawal, into prison.

I'm going to bump this. I can't be the only one proud of what I've accomplished.
I have recently cut from 210 to about 190. I have lost little to no strength on my major lifts and am in way better shape as far as aerobic exercise goes. My diet for the most part consists of super foods for every meal with a post work out shake with a meal. An a casein shake 2+ hours or so pre bed. I lean bulk on wo days and mild cut on off days. I started this cut slowly In Jan. Nice and slow fat loss to maintain strength. I also follow an IF training/ diet protocol that works very well for me.
My lifts as of this week...
Bench. 335x3 and 350x1 ( PR is 365)
Squat. 500 I've been hitting 500 consistently for about a month now. Actually stronger now than before on squats. Also 405 x 10 and 455 x 4. I love squats. All I can say
I only RLDL and never go more than 315 x 8 and this is more for hamstring development. I don't like heavy dead lifts. Feel free to flame me.
Hanging snatches 185x2 I was very happy because I was carb depleted by my Olympic day and weighed 180. After carbing up I sit back closer to 190.
Clean and press 255 lockout ( I have been focusing on explosive exercises lately)
5k run in under 25 mins.
And a military press of 275x 2 ( elbows to parallel not bar to chest)
I can weigh anywhere from 180 - 190 depending on carbs and water ect. It's been about 7 years of progress and still have far to go. My goal is always strong and lean.
Comments? Criticize? And please post your results if your proud!
I'm going to bump this. I can't be the only one proud of what I've accomplished.
Any one
I'm impressed...
Man your abs are insane. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new on the forum, what do you mean bump it?
Bump is basically posting in a thread to move it to the top of unread threads.
I will say for your size and weight those are impressive lifts!! You seem like you are at a good place strength and fit wise. What type of exercises are you doing for abs? They look amazing. Do you attribute a lot of it to a certain diet?
Very impressive/inspirational for us fellow naturals!
My abs are 100% result diet and training. I do almost no ab work outs. People hate me for it. Truth is squats work your core and I squat a lot. Also most standing exercises as well. I will flex for a min when walking then unflex. Then repeat. Abs are a stabilizer muscle and I dont see a point doing things to contract them like sit ups.
I am sorry with the new lay out I have not been able to rep you I can not figure out how.
Strong and lean is always my goal. My diet is very much a clean bulk style. Always well balanced maybe low carb a day or two on off days when fat loss is a concern.
Also my lower abs as you can see is my genetic problem spot. I will start to cut this week. It's always the last fat to go and the hardest to get rid of. I am actually embarrassed of my lower abs and am not quite comfortable with them. High rep Olympic lifting is my favorite cardio/ fatloss method.
The lower abs always seem like the trouble spot or last to go for people. That is absolutely true for me as well. Genetically speaking, some people have a 4 pack, some a 6 pack (which you have quite nicely) and others have an 8 pack. From where I'm sitting, the abs are looking great. I do hear you on the lowers though!!
Good job man. To bad u dont like deads
I like to straight leg dead lift. I've done 405 x 1 buy 99% of the time I do medium rep ranges and really like good mornings.
I also never do shruggs I'm odd and my traps grow when thinking about shrugs. I want to stay in proportion and literally the only trap exercise I do is cleans.
One month update...
same day as above...
Good progress, Persistance is the key. Believe in yourself, When I did my first show at 21 naturally I was 170 lbs at 6 foot (3.5% bf) I got 2nd :/. One year later at my next competition at 22 I was 184 at (3.6 %) i won . Next show 195 .They say you can only gain a pound maximum naturally a month, well i put that myth to rest. I am just providing an example that with the right mind set you can achieve, good work bro and keep on keeping on!
It is hopefully obvious I am trying to cut. Cutting has always been my weak area. Boy can I bulk but I'm sticking to it this time around. I don't know body fat but I would guess the pics from yesterday I am around 10-12? My goal is to be single digit body fat. I have never been in the single digits. Before my last carb up I was 179! I carbed up 4 days ( call it a cheat weekend) back to 195! I looked awesome and pumped at 195. The picture yesterday is around 177-178 but I have another cparbup planned and I want to get back to 190. I know the weight swings seem crazy but it's working pretty well for me. The carb ups are every 3-4 weeks and 3-4 days long. I love hitting the gym after because the pumps are insane and my strength sky rockets up. SuppsLCLT 1g pre, 1g intra, 1g spread through the rest of the dayPLCAR 1g pre, .5g before work, .5g through out the dayDiCreatine Malate 3G pre, 3G spread through the rest of the dayCritulline malate 3g preBeta Alanine 4.2g pre, 5g spread through out the rest of the dayCordygen Vo2 and rpm 1 hr pre work out. ( well stocked up on both these)I make a concoction pre work out, an intrawork out drink with recover pro. Concoction with recover pro I sip on through the rest of the day. All of the above are pretty much staples and I am well stocked up on them. Also using EC and had alpha burn because I just had some lying around but its almost gone. I'm not sure I'll get more. I'm trying to not spend so much on supps. I also had bulk tta for a while I used at night but that's gone and I am again trying to spend less... I would love to add something else in to help with keeping strength or accelerated fat loss but I'm determined to reach my goal no matter what. And my stack ( staples ) really kinda is bad ass. The only thing I actually had to buy was EC the rest I had.
LMAO yes man it's apparent your trying to lean out. Looks like your doing well, save your money on supplements. Use the staples, The first time I contest dieted my nutritionist had me on everything for my natural show (glutamine, creatine, multi's, BCAA's, pre-workout, zinc tabs) and i spent so much money. Last show i did i rolled with a multi and a pre-workout because it's hard getting that low bf and still having intensity to keep your gains. RESULTS? Yea my second show i was bigger, fuller, and did not lose as much LBM, there is a lot of other facotrs in here I know. WIth that said, I am not a believer in supplements, they supplement food. Stick with a good multi and pre-workout IMO and your golden son! Don't buy into those natural fat loss pills either lol, just because something speeds up your HR doesn't mean it's burning fat. I despise the supplement industry with all it's falsifications and misguided hopes. If all is working well for you thus far then keep doing what your doing. DOn't change until you feel your progress has stagnated. GOOD LUCK MAN!
I appreciate all of your encouragement and advise. Marketing tatics are very strong in the supp industry. My diet has been doing well. For any real progress diet is real key. I wish I had my bf measured. I am not in prep for a contest but acting like I am. Recently single (5 year relationship ) and I want to achieve a competition body as a personal goal.Yesterday my lift highlights325x2 flat bench315x 3 flat bench for 2 setsBW+90lbs x 5 pull ups BW x 115 x2 pull ups (pr)1set of 5 muscle ups (pr) this is a pull up into dip. It's and explosive movement and I like to super set it with snatches because they are almost opposites but both explosive. 185x5 upright rows. That wasn't my whole work out just the best sets but I am keeping some strength still which means I am not doing everything wrong. Yes I max out on pull ups. Leaner, faster, stronger is my goal.

What You'll Need
- ¼ cup of distilled water
- ¼ cup of castile soap
- ½ tsp. of vegetable oil

Do not forget to label your shampoos after preparing them. Use a waterproof marker to write directly on the bottle, or purchase waterproof labels.

Man Arrested After Building Machine Guns "To See If He Could"
There's been much talk lately about where guns come from. Gun shows. Straw purchases at gun shops. Black market dealers. Online auctions. Father's nightstand. Nevada.
Add "residential garage" to the list.
An East Bay man, federal prosecutors claim, built six fully automatic machine guns in his garage.
On Oct. 18, according to court documents, Newark police officers headed to the home of Harry Shepherd Lewis Jr. The department had received a tip that Lewis "might be involved in the manufacture of firearms."
Lewis was cooperative, the complaint states, and admitted making guns from scratch because "he wanted to see if he could actually build a firearm." He then allegedly handed authorities a bag containing all the weapons he had made over the past six months.

I don't know Harry, but I like him already. Sad, he'll never get his guns back.
I imagine it would be easy to make something like a Sten in your garage. Of course, that would be totally illegal.
he told a wrong guy.

Name three positive and negative impacts the American Industrial Revolution had on the...
9 Answers | add yours
The Industrial Revolution was a long process of economic change in the United States, lasting well over a century. There are more advantages and disadvantages than are listed here, but let me choose a few of the more important ones in my opinion:
1) Improved peoples' daily lives - by diversifying the number and quality of the kinds of products factories could turn out, ordinary Americans learned better, lived better and had more time on their hands as conveniences and efficiencies defined the Industrial Revolution
2) Transportation and technology - the expansion of business and factories expanded our transportation network out of necessity and brought us canals, highways and turnpikes. It better connected us together as a society. We also saw technological innovation like interchangeable parts (Eli Whitney) and the textile mill (Samuel Slater) which revolutionized how we lived.
3) Jobs - Factories in the major cities created hundreds of thousands of jobs, expanded the cities, attracted immigrants by the millions and forever changed the landscape of the country, especially in the Northeast.
1) Environmental damage - there were few if any rules regarding how resources could be removed and used. The air was horribly polluted from factories, as was the soil and rivers. It would take decades to recover from this damage.
2) Exploitation - while jobs were created, there were few if any rules about how much people could be paid, what training they would receive and whether they could be fired for any reason. The jobs were dangerous and if you died, no one really cared. Profit was God.
3) Political corruption - the amount of money generated by the Industrial Revolution created a class of super rich who could buy any politician or process. During most of the later Industrial Revolution, Washington DC politicians were hopelessly corrupt, and the people and democracy lost in the bargain.

I think it is important to highlight the first negative that is mentioned in #2 - really, many would argue that the environmental crisis that we are facing today had its roots in the Industrial Revolution that spawned so much contamination, pollution and damage to the environment. Of course, this is something that we are seeing repeated across the globe as each country that could be described as "under-developed" went through their industrial revolution with the same damaging environmental effects.

Great list by brettd. I'd like to add one more issue to the discussion. The Industrial Revolution changed the concept of work in America on several levels. First, as productivity advanced, so did the need for more workers and more work hours. More people entered the workforce than ever before, actually causing a nationwide shift in polulation from the rural to the more urban areas, where the jobs were. Working long hours (the abuses which were mentioned above and later alleviated to a large degree by unions) became the norm for non-agricultural workers and would set the precedent for the industrious work ethic of today's work force. Second, as people had more money to spend and more products to buy, the roots of materialism were planted. The kind of "live to work, work to live" attitude for which so much of the world berates us (and which the Transcendentalists denounced in favor of "simplicity) was born.

In addition to the workload and demand for more workers came the demand and opportunity for women to work outside of the home in areas other than teaching and nursing. Of course, along with all that opportunity came poor working conditions and the need for Unions who would help regulate such conditions which were rebelled against in America just as they were decades before in Europe by social critics like Dickens.

The Industrial Revolution was a boost for the United States and provided lots of opportunities for Americans to find work. I was just thinking about the "Technology Revolution", it has caused automation and the loss of jobs.

Positive things that the Industrial Revolution brought was a greater economic benefit for the country to be operating at such efficiencies, and it created new technological changes and improvements in the ares of commercialization, mechanization, and the assembly line. One of the unfortunate disadvantages was that it created hardships for women and children to be working long hours in factories for such little pay.

The Industrial Revolution must have done something to improve public health and the reduce poverty.
According to Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations, before 1776 half of children died in childhood, and "in the Highlands of Scotland for a mother who has borne twenty children not to have two alive."

J Street's campus branch drops pro-Israel slogan
10/27/2009 00:52
J Street branch drops pr
J Street's university arm has dropped the "pro-Israel" part of the left-wing US lobby's "pro-Israel, pro-peace" slogan to avoid alienating students. That decision was part of the message conveyed to young activists who attended a special weekend program for students ahead of J Street's first annual conference, which began on Sunday. Students are seen as a key component of the 18-month-old organization's constituency base and the conference itself. The multi-day event has incorporated new technology and interactive forums to harness their energy and garner feedback from the audience, which swelled to 1,500 on Monday and created overflow plenary and breakout sessions. At their earlier weekend session, the 250 participating students mapped out strategies for bringing J Street's approach to college campuses and encouraging students to join in the effort. "We don't want to isolate people because they don't feel quite so comfortable with 'pro-Israel,' so we say 'pro-peace,'" said American University junior Lauren Barr of the "J Street U" slogan, "but behind that is 'pro-Israel.'" Barr, secretary of the J Street U student board that decided the slogan's terminology, explained that on campus, "people feel alienated when the conversation revolves around a connection to Israel only, because people feel connected to Palestine, people feel connected to social justice, people feel connected to the Middle East." She noted that the individual student chapters would be free to add "pro-Israel," "pro-Israel, pro-Palestine," or other wording that they felt would be effective on this issue, since "it's up to the individuals on campus to know their audience." Yonatan Shechter, a junior at Hampshire College, said the ultra-liberal Massachusetts campus is inhospitable to terms like "Zionist" and that when his former organization, the Union of Progressive Zionists (which has been absorbed into J Street U), dropped that last word of its name, "people were so relieved." Shechter said that J Street U allows students who support Israel to have an address on his campus, adding that nothing more to the right exists or would be sustainable and the only other Jewish student group "is decidedly not political... they won't go beyond having felafel on Independence Day." J Street Executive Director Jeremy Ben-Ami said that when it came to his organization's work with the student groups, "If the way to engage the young part of our community is to give them space to work through their relationship with Israel, then we're going to do that. We're not going to shut them out, because the only way to keep them in the community is to give them the space to work that out." J Street itself has repeatedly emphasized the pro-Israel aspect of its identity, stressing its stand in support of Israel and the need for a two-state solution in the face of criticism that it doesn't squarely support the Jewish state. Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren declined an invitation to the conference after a spokesman said some of J Street's policies "could impair Israel's interests," though several Kadima and Labor MKs have flown in to attend the Washington convention. Ben-Ami described himself as "concerned but realistic" about the students' choice to leave out the pro-Israel piece of J Street's slogan. He added, "Some in the community might not want to hear that this is where a lot of young people have come to, but we have to deal with people where they're at and address their concerns." The student sessions included activism training on using the media, building campus organizations and lobbying political leaders. They also addressed issues of concern, including "Anti-Semitism and Israel," a session described as focusing on the fact that "anti-Semitism does exist, even within progressive communities we often consider our allies" and asking how open conversations can still be promoted. Another event was titled "Reckoning with the Radical Left on Campus: Alternatives to Boycotts and Divestment," and called for "developing alternative methods for change." One participant, though, expressed surprise when the latter session shifted from the advertised topic of countering divestment to a discussion of how to effectively call for divestment from products made in settlements without a broader call for divestment from all of Israel. The participant, who spoke anonymously because J Street only authorized J Street U's board members to speak to the media, said the students at the panel were brainstorming ways to make the nuance of their position clear from broader divestment campaigns. J Street did not respond to a question about the session by press time, but did note that the student workshops were closed door sessions. Ben-Ami specifically welcomed students at the opening session on Sunday night, at which Barr spoke, though the crowd was dominated by older activists, many of them long advocates of an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinians and in favor of active American diplomacy in the region. Later, Ben-Ami described his organization's goal as one that includes changing the nature of the debate about Israel in America to one of a big-tent approach where different viewpoints and perspectives were welcomed. "It is our goal to change traditional conversations when it comes to Israel and to broaden the notion that there is only one way to express love and concern for it," Ben-Ami said to applause. "We are here to redefine and expand the very concept of being pro-Israel. No longer should this 'pro-' require an 'anti-.'" He read letters of support from President Shimon Peres and opposition leader Tzipi Livni, neither of whom were able to attend but both of whom expressed support for including a wide swath of American Jews in the issues connected to Israel. "For too long, our voice - the voice of mainstream progressive Jews on Israel - has been absent from the political playing field in Washington and around the country," Ben-Ami told the crowd, noting that many have focused on other issues. "When it comes to Israel, our voices and our positions have been drowned out by those to our right with the intensity and passion of single-issue, single-minded advocates. As we care deeply about the State of Israel and the security of the Jewish people, so too does this passionate minority," he said. He declared, though, that "we come here to Washington, DC, to make clear to politicians and policy-makers alike that no one group speaks for Jewish Americans as a whole." The goal, he said, was "to make our voices heard and our power felt from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to the campaign trails in all 50 states."

Origins are fascinating. What was the first this or that? Who or what was responsible for it? Who thought that up? Who said that? How and why do certain things find their way into the lexicon of human knowledge and understanding?
Take for instance the largely debunked body of lore we commonly call, "Old Wives' Tales." Several questions come immediately to mind: Who was the first wife? Who was the first wife to grow old? Who was the first wife to grow old and tell tales? What does the adjective "old" modify? Does it mean that the women who first related the tale were elderly, or that the tale itself was of advanced years, a tidbit of enduring wisdom or misinformation as the case may be, that has been passed down through the ages from one chatty, insightful bride to the next?
History offers little in the way of satisfactory answers to these important threshold questions.
Other aspects of the genre are also inadequately explained. For example, why just "old wives?" Why does the vast and delightful realm of feminine lore not include other surely fun-filled, richly informative genres such as, "Old Divorcees' Tales," "Old Spinsters' Tales," and "Old Lesbians' Tales?" And why are there no companion "Old Husbands' Tales?" They too might be interesting though as a general rule would be crude and, more often than not, limited to sports or motor vehicles.
And why "wives'" instead of "wife's?"
The plural usage suggests that the first such tale was generated not by an individual wife but rather by a collection of them, a prehistoric sewing circle perhaps — several gruff and scary women sitting around a fire in a cave, stitching animal skins with bone shards and lengths of shredded mammoth sinew, complaining about the grooming habits of the clansmen for whom they toil. That these women all happened upon the same knowledge simultaneously and agreed to share collective credit seems, frankly, doubtful. More than likely, it was one particularly bold and savvy old wife who first decided to speak her piece and the rest simply followed her lead. That in mind, the genesis of two oft-repeated and venerable old wives' tales may have gone something like this:
The oldest member of the late Paleolithic sewing circle squinted through the smoke and crackling embers at her youthful, uniformly wedded audience and told them her husband and young son had been hunting recently and her husband was injured during an encounter with a cave bear. Some of his wounds festered she explained, and he spiked a fever. Her brave and resourceful seven year old caught a cold while alternately dragging his father and the slain bear back to the safety of the clan, and upon arriving back at the home cave was quite miserable, coughing, sneezing, and blowing his nose repeatedly.
Referring to her husband as a "hoggish, foul smelling brute" — a description that prompted knowing glances and much laughter throughout the cave — she said she fed him vast portions of cave bear short ribs and later marveled at his diminished fever and speedy recovery. But, she hissed, "the wretched savage ate everything in sight," leaving nothing for her poor son who received no nourishment whatsoever for several days during the ordeal. The boy was weak and occasionally cross with her she said, but his sinuses cleared and his cough went away.
She concluded the tale saying, incidentally, she discovered a toad in their cave and soon afterward her now emaciated but otherwise symptom free son developed warts.

I was a long time dish subscriber before my last move. I was one of the original E2000 customers (still own 2 of them) and purchased a used E6000 for HD after getting a new HD set over a year ago. Right after receiving the E6000, I moved and never activated it due to a deal that was going on local cable. I've now moved again and want to go back to Dish.
I understand that Dish has had some kind of card swapout and all of my equipment still has the original blue cards (and was never hacked). So, is any of this equipment still usable? There's no mention of it on the website but I'd think that at least the E6000 would still work. My old account if Dish keeps records back more than a year or two would only have the E2000's on it and at a different address. Should I just have them create a new account and transfer the E6000 on it (assuming it still works) or am I forced into getting a new HD receiver.
It appears that I'd be better off just dumping all of the old equipment, pretending that I've never subscribed to Dish, and sign up as a new subscriber. I could then get a new 811 with the Digital Home Plan and a 12 mo commitment. If I read the offer right, that's no installation or equipment charges. Any reason not to do that or would Dish's historical database still flag me as a returning customer even with a different address?

I'm not sure but your E2000 receivers may not work period with the new smart cards. Some of the 2000 series (I think) are simply not compatible with the new smart cards and in order to get the programming that requires those cards folks have to get newer model receivers. The E6000 receiver should work fine however once you get a new yellow smart card from Dish for it.
Posted 17 July 2005 - 09:45 AM
As long as you have been gone at least 6mos, didn't leave w/ an outstanding balance, qualify for the credit criteria again and you sign up for a two year agreement. You'll get all new equipment, free installation and whatever the latest deal is just as if you were a first time customer.
Posted 17 July 2005 - 01:19 PM
I would try signing up as a new customer as long as you have a new address and phone number and you never gave DISH your social security number you will probably pass as a new customer. The software on the 6000 maybe so old that it won't work. If the software on the 6000 will update it will work withn the new cards.

Yoga: Use with Caution
When William Broad held his first yoga pose in 1970, his intention was to attain better health, both in mind and in body. Now a practitioner of more than four decades, he's looking at yoga from another perspective, trying to mete out the benefits of yoga from widely held myths, and along the way, revealing a downside of yoga that's placed him firmly at the center of a decidedly un-zen firestorm of controversy. Broad is a senior writer with the New York Times, and author of the new book, "The Science of Yoga." In January, the Times excerpted a chapter of his book called "How Yoga Can Wreck your Body," spurring a frenzy of online response from yoga defenders and detractors alike. Of course, that chapter is only part of a much broader book, in which Broad relies on research, interviews and peer-reviewed science to examine the myths and miracles of a practice that's taken hold throughout our culture.

"I'm not a big goal setter."
David Edwards
"Michael doesn't have to be Justin. He's a different player, a setter, not a hitter. He has good nights and bad nights, but at this point in his career, he may be a little more rounded than Justin."
Mike Walker
"They're a big team. Their setter is about 6-7. They have an opposite 6-6, 6-7. Their two middles are 6-8. They're pretty experienced. Their go-to guy is Matt Proper. He's the real deal, got a real live arm, great serve and if they need someone to get after it, they set to him."
Arnie Ball
"Some of the prongs are not down on the stone. The stone setter didn't finish his job."
Catherine Lee
"(Penn State's) setter sets the ball fast, both forward and back. So as blockers we have to be ready not to bite on certain players, because then we get beat."
Jennifer Saleaumua
"I like the setter and their big hitters. I like the way they put the ball up to be hit. With one or two little tweaks, they are right there."
Glenn Quinland
"If you're just counting the stats that's probably accurate. But he's had a good year. He's a tone-setter."
John Marshall (football coach)

The monster saved them all. And in their fear, they betrayed him. As they always have. As they always will.
My Facebook page
He's kinda right. Unless the twist is really, really offensive, most of you are going to keep reading. Just admit it.
He's mostly seemed pretty cool on this forum. Most of his responses are pretty good and he isn't outright rude or anything.
I really don't know where Jux is getting these ideas that Slott is some sort of mean drunk or something.
I don't know if that's sarcasm, but there's not that much of a difference.
This. I'm definitely not blindly into this. The little we do know (not Peter, darlk), doesn't sound very promising.
And no, I don't think Dan Slott is a mean drunk kinda guy, but I have seen on several occasions that he's making fun of how readers will react to the coming issues. And that's not very respectful in my book. He could have just said "keep reading. I think and hope you'll love it", like Stephen Wacker actually does sometimes here. But don't be so sure we just HAVE TO buy the next and next issue. I bought and read #698, and I'm still on the fence of whether it's time to get off. But I know it would take a lot to actually stop.
I'm kinda hoping for a Firestorm dual personality thing. I think having a mental antagonist trying to constanly screw with you is a fun idea worth exploring. I don't think they're gonna do that though. I'm interested to see some of the ramifications of all this. Ock has alot of information he wouldn't have had otherwise. He knows everything that Peter (an Avenger) would know and he has access to all sorts of places and technology to really mess everything up good for the heros.
Many people grew up with Peter Parker as Spider-Man. If people hear he won't be and get upset, is that really something to laugh about? I'm more of the if I'm not going to like this I won't buy it type. I'm sure Dan Slott is a swell guy and I wish him all the best, but he's not been doing a good job of making me want to read on. I might anyways, but it'll have to be something GREAT coming up.
Okay. That might be. Not sure what you mean.

Best Kids' Apps Pick: Bizzy Bear on the Farm
May 3, 2012
© Bizzy Bear on the Farm
Works on: iOS devices
Cost: $3.99
For: Toddlers and preschoolers
Bizzy Bear on the Farm is a fun and interactive book app from Nosy Crow, the publisher of other popular apps like Cinderella and Three Little Pigs. The story unfolds with cute little Bizzy walking in the farm and speaking with the farmer. Turns out that Bizzy isn't there to just chat – Farmer Joe needs help!
Bizzy is put to the task and helps out with farm chores like feeding the picks, putting sheep into the pen, picking apples and more. The app engages young kids by offering both a cute storyline and fun activities for them to play. Little blue dots appear as hints on each page to show kids what else they can interact with, but nearly everything that is touched makes a sound or speaks. The animation is very cute, as is the little British voice who narrates.
Based on the popular Bizzy Bear book series in the UK, this cute and colorful app will keep kids entertained throughout Bizzy's visit to the farm.
If you have an app that you'd like considered for Screen Play, please contact email@example.com.

April 26, 2013
The U.S. Department of Transportation and the Trucking Industry Mobility & Technology Coalition will sponsor a free webinar on the benefits and consequences of GPS navigation systems used by commercial drivers.
Recent press has highlighted the role that GPS devices, particularly those that are designed for passenger vehicle use, can play in large truck crashes -- most notably bridge strikes. The New York State DOT, for example, has reported that 200 bridge strikes have occurred each year since 2005 and approximately 80 percent of those crashes were the result "misused" navigation devices. While the roads and bridges are often well marked, many GPS units do not note large truck and bus restrictions.
The results of ATRI's recently released navigation system use survey will be featured in this webinar as well as new efforts to reduce bridge strikes through enforcement, education and mitigation activities.
FMCSA's Deputy Administrator will also be on hand to discuss the Administration's new commercial vehicle GPS selection guide and other navigation system-related initiatives.
Speakers will include:
WHEN: Thursday, May 16th, 2013, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. EDT (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. CDT)
HOW: Participants will need access to the internet and a telephone.
To register: please visit the TIMTC website at www.freightmobility.com. An email with instructions for joining the webinar will be sent to all registrants.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Really? Let it go.
"What did I do?" Really?
Let me take a swing at that.
He got paid.
That check clears whether he's slumping or not. Get real.
No one loves STL fans more than I do - let's make that clear. But we need to get over ourselves and turn the page on this guy. He's gone. We lost him.
Guess what: this slump won't last. He's still awesome. But it's moot because SOMEONE ELSE OWNS HIS CONTRACT.
Let's keep in mind that it's still early May and focus on the guys that are still wearing the Birds on the Bat. Albert's gone.
He'll probably still have a terrific season. But it will be in the AL West. We honestly don't need to consider him again until the WS, which I fully expect the Cards to be competing in.
Go Cards. Go Cards. Go Cards.

Abstract: Two new 11-hydroxyeunicellin diterpenoids, cladieunicellin F (1) and (–)-solenopodin C (2), were isolated from an Indonesian octocoral Cladiella sp. The structures of eunicellins 1 and 2 were established by spectroscopic methods, and eunicellin 2 was found to be an enantiomer of the known eunicellin solenopodin C (3). Eunicellin 2 displayed inhibitory effects on the generation of superoxide anion and the release of elastase by human neutrophils. The previously reported structures of two eunicellin-based compounds, cladielloides A and B, are corrected in this study.

Germany faces up to sexual abuse after scandals at Catholic, other schools
Allegations of sexual abuse at schools run by the Catholic and Lutheran churches, as well as at an elite secular boarding school, have put child protection at the top of the domestic agenda in Germany.
At first, Germans were stunned by revelations about elite Jesuit boarding schools, where hundreds of former pupils say they suffered sexual abuse in the 1970s and '80s. Then attention turned to the Lutheran Church, which apologized for widespread abuse after World War II in its children's institutions. And last month, a similar pattern of abuse, and a coverup, rocked one of the country's most prestigious progressive boarding schools.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The experience in Germany is a reminder that the criticism swirling around the Catholic church and Pope Benedict XVI -- that they failed to do enough to protect children in their care -- is not an exclusively Catholic problem. Pope Benedict, celebrating his fifth anniversary as Pope today, referred to the church as a "wounded sinner" that feels "all the more the consolation of God," according to L'Osservatore Roman, a Vatican newspaper.
In Germany, what were first played down as isolated incidents have multiplied, prompting national soul-searching over the treatment of children in formerly trusted institutions – religious and secular, public and private – and spurring calls for reform.
"Most schools in the country are deeply shaken," says Ursula Enders, founder of Zartbitter in Cologne, Germany's biggest counseling center for young victims of sexual abuse. "Because of what's happened... they have recognized the relevance of the issue, and they are ready to institute change."
Schools, church choirs, and sports and scouts' clubs have all started reforming to better protect children. And Chancellor Angela Merkel has made confronting trauma and inappropriate adult-children relationships a priority: On April 23 government ministers are scheduled to meet with educators and children's advocates to talk about compensation, criminal prosecution, and prevention.
The Rev. Ansgar Thim, who handles abuse cases for the Roman Catholic diocese of Hamburg, says he was "overwhelmed" by the extent of revelations about Jesuit priests molesting children and adolescents – first in Berlin, and later at the St. Ansgar School in Hamburg, the St. Blasien College in the Black Forest, and in several parishes in Lower Saxony. "We're not prepared," he says. "But there is movement now."
At the same time, some 100 former pupils of Odenwald, a secular, progressive elite school, said sexual abuse there had been rampant.
Odenwald elite
Like Jesuit schools, the Odenwald School has long educated a German elite seeking an alternative to public education. But while the Jesuits focused on discipline, Odenwald thrived in the anti-authoritarian context of the late 1960s.
Born out of a philosophy of teaching children according to their individual desires and needs, it is located at the foot of rolling hills near Frankfurt.
Uprooting children from what it sees as the negative impact of urban life is part of the approach, says Anne Sliwka, head of research at Heidelberg University's School of Education. In addition to traditional classes like math and German, pupils can take gardening and carpentry; they learn by living in small groups headed by their teacher, the "family head."

"What if this is just like the Tawana Brawley case?" I asked. Syndi turned and looked at me, with obvious surprise, and appreciation. "Exactly! I bet this is going to be exactly like that." She was staring at me like I had become, instantly, a different person. We had been friends for two years, but the recognition in her face was something I'd never seen.

Perhaps to establish their bona fides, critics reviewing Plácido Domingo in the title role of Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra" tend to point out that Domingo is not a baritone, as the role calls for. While it's true that Domingo first positioned himself as a baritone, that was a long time ago, and he very quickly moved up to tenor roles, in which he established a stellar reputation.
In recent years, however, the 71-year-old, who is also general director of Los Angeles Opera, has transposed some tenor roles downward, and Boccanegra seems to sit reasonably comfortably in his range.
None of these issues mattered much Saturday to an enthusiastic audience when Domingo starred in Verdi's opera at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Baritone, schmaritone: Domingo was a commanding vocal and dramatic presence, and especially touching in his death scene.

To be sure, his voice has contracted in dimension and has acquired some sandpaper, but there was still plenty of power and expression when needed. One could argue that Domingo's dramatic capabilities have actually grown. In addition to his death scene, one thinks of Boccanegra's meditations on power, his deep-felt efforts to heal the city's and country's social and political divisions, and especially his restraint in the touching scene in which he discovers his long-lost daughter, Amelia.
"Simon Boccanegra" is a strange child in the Verdi canon. It flopped when it premiered in 1857, but it took on new life when the composer revised it in 1881, with the essential input of Arrigo Boito, who created the amazing Council Scene in Act 1. Even so, it hasn't exactly become an audience favorite, perhaps because of the low, dark vocal coloring — there is only one female principal role — and the gloom and improbability of the plot. It usually takes someone with the stature of Domingo to bring it to the stage.
