What's New in GoodSync 9
The wait is over; the next era of GoodSync begins. Over the past months we've gathered significant feedback from our users to develop this version and we want to thank all who helped. GoodSync 9 was designed with you in mind. Some of our more popular new features are summarized below.
All New GoodSync Connect -- Build Your Own Cloud
GoodSync Connect allows users to connect two computers directly, in a peer-to-peer style, without using intermediate servers that store your files.
Simply setup a GoodSync Connect account through the software, install GoodSync on each computer you want to sync, and use this GoodSync Connect account on all computers. Then you can create sync jobs that sync folders between your computers directly.
Read more about GoodSync Connect at GoodSync Connect section.
Real Time Sync
On File Change mode of Auto sync starts synchronization when file change is detected in a sync folder or its subfolder. The best thing about it is, it also works remotely if you use GoodSync Connect.
More Cloud Destinations
For users who have cloud-based services already, GoodSync 9 also includes the ability to easily sync with other external services such as Google Docs, Windows Azure, and SkyDrive.
Parallel Threads in Sync
You can run sync in several threads, working in parallel to achieve faster file transfer speed.
Each thread maintains its own connection to the server.
File and Folder Move/Rename Detection
GoodSync 9 detects file renames and executes them as Move commands. Folder moves and renames are handled as well.
Select Multiple Folders to Sync
Now you can select multiple folders to sync (not just one), in one job.
Before, in ver 8, it had to be achieved with Filters.
Select Individual Files to Sync
Now you can select specific files to sync, not just the entire folders.
Fixing Access Denied Errors
A part of GoodSync always runs in elevated mode, so it handles file operations that would otherwise cause Access Denied error and require User Account Control elevation.
GoodSync Explorer -- Get Your Files Remotely From Any Computer
Did you forget that Word document at the office? No problem. Using GoodSync Connect you can connect to your computer to browse, access and transfer files. You'll no longer need to email documents between computers as GoodSync can connect them directly.
Bookmarks make it easier to get to password-protected servers
You can save any server address and credentials into Bookmark and later use it in a job.
GoodSync also shows virtual bookmarks, a list of non-repeating credentials assembled form your sync jobs.
Your Own WebDAV server for any GoodSync Bookmark
You can make GoodSync server folders from any GoodSync Bookmark (Connectoid),
so that Windows Explorer can show them as a regular folder tree.

I don't understand why they are charging Rs.300 every month for using Gold platform. It's alright for people who trade every day but what about investors who trade once in a while. Why pay 300 for not using the platform frequently?Silver platform truly sucks. Any idea how is USECTRADE

Geojit does not charge Rs.300 for platform There is a commitment to be made ie 300 per month as brokerage , then the platform is free

I have the same opinion as Mr.I.K.Desai regarding GEOJIT. I wanted to transfer funds online and they suggested opening an account with FEDERAL BANK. after all the pain stakes i opened one with that bank. one fine day i required some cash, and tried to transfer funds from Geojit to bank account, but could not find such an option. on asking they said it was just one sided transfer!! from bank to geojit only. it took almost 5 days for me to get cash. why the hell are they listing a bank which allows only one way fund transfer and recommending people to go for it???

Geojit offers the best trading platform,good customer support, reasonable brokerages.After market Orders(AMO) or offline orders are routed to exchange at 10.00 Am in geojit platform.

I have my account with geojit from 1+ year. I have never faced any problem, as far as check is concerned, service is very good, brokerage is attractive. all questions are also answered, never got any problem with them. management is very good, polite and helpful.

For Flying Shadow,It is after 10.30AM. I have tried in Geojit, the order is not routed to exchange immediately on market opening. My friend who has an account in Indiabulls told me that they sent AMOs after 10.30AM. I donot know reason for this. But if you are a long term investor and cannot use online platform during market hours it will be helpful. For others, it is of no use.If Sharekhan sends the order at market opening, that is good. I have used platforms of Geojit, IDBI as well as IndiaInfo. My assessment about these brokers are:Geojit customer care is excellent. Their toll-free number is answered. You get reply for your e-mails. Their browser based platform is slow. They offer 0.3 and 0.03% brokerage for direct clients (brokerages are negotiable with many brokerage houses). Demat AMC Payable. Minimum brokerage is Rs. 20/-IDBI Paisabuilder, their streaming platform is average. Betterthan Geojit. You can call the customer care. So far they do good service. Their e-mail reply is very poor. Scrips available for intraday is very few. Demat AMC Payable.IndiaInfoline: TTAdvance is good, not better. brokerages very less. Customer care very poor. Toll-free number never works, another customer care number if u call , you have to wait for 7-15 minutes, if u r on STD call, you will lose money here also. No reply to your mails. Some times you may get a replay after weeks saying that they will look into it. No demat AMC. No minimum brokeragePlease post what u know about brokers, let people assess them before opeing a/c with them

Hey PG , Thnx for replying.... But i need to ask u one thing. Is it 10.30 p.m or 10.30 a.m Because if it after 10.30 a.m .. Then no point placing the order because most of the shares would go into lower or upper freeze. Instead of that we can place at 9.55 when market opens. Well i called up India Infoline..they dont offer AFTER MARKET ORDERS. Well sharekhan routes the order immediately when the order is placed. ARe u sure it is 10.30 a.m or is it 10.30 p.m(in the night)

After -hours order can be placed in Geojit browser based platform (BSE and NSE). However, these orders will be sent to exchange after 10:30 am, not at market opening. AMO can be placed in idbipaisabuilder. But their AMO system is not working . When u check your AMO after market is open, your order shows rejected.Indiainfoline's browser based platform offers AMO facility, I was told but not verified.Networth offers AMO in browser based platform as per their website.Indiabulls offers AMOs, it is routed to exchanges at 10:30 am, it works.

I recommended my colleague to open accnt with Geojit as they promised to charge 0.25% brokerage. After he opened the accnt, he bought shares of 2 companies and to his astonishment they have charged brokerage of 1.05%. They are cheaters, beware of them and don't fall in trap. Go for kotak Securities, it is awarded as the best broker for 2007.

I am having very bad experience of the Geojit Management. Actually there is no management at all. I could not apply online the IPO of Mundra Port. They told me to entered into a separate agreement. I filled and paid Rs.50/- for Form. Eventhough they have made me falied and I missed and opportunity to apply.Thye forced me to choose the Bank, The Federal Bank. The bank gave me FedNet, internet connection to transfer funds. But see, the bank transfers the money from my account to the account of Geojit at click of mouse. BUT WHEN I WANTED TO WITHDRAW MONEY THE BANK HAS NOT ALLOWED THE MONEY. I could not get the check also intime and ultimately I will get a big loss.Please think twice to join such a Broker.

Online Summer Classes!
Liturgics, Church Slavonic & Byzantine History
Pastoral School
August 12, 2010 Length: 10:50
Bobby Maddex interviews Fr. Martin Swanson, Dean of The Orthodox Pastoral School of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
Through your support of The Pastoral School, you are giving back to those who need your help in the service of the Orthodox Church; helping provide scholarships for students who otherwise could not afford to attend and helping to defer necessary operational expenses (faculty,technical services, etc.).
The Pastoral School of the Diocese of Chicago & Mid-America is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Your donation is tax-deductible.
(IRS Form 526)
Scholarships are also available now due to the generous support of the
Fund for Assistance to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia
Donate to:
- Any Orthodox Christian interested in studying
Orthodox theology, but unable to attend an Orthodox seminary.
- Orthodox clergy or laypeople interested in
increasing their knowledge of the Faith.
- To provide students with an academically sound Orthodox theological education through the media of online distance education.
- To prepare clergy for service to the Church through emphasis on practical application of knowledge to ministry, and to contemporary problems and issues facing the Church.
- To prepare knowledgeable pastors to serve local parishes and missions of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
- To accept students from all Dioceses of ROCOR as well as all canonical Orthodox jurisdictions who subscribe to the goals of the School.
The program does not seek to replace studies at a regular theological school, but rather to prepare those who cannot attend such schools, but who are none-the-less called to serve the local Church. Such individuals will partially make up for their lack of seminary on-campus experience by active participation in the liturgical life of their parish, attendance at a summer residence program, and through participation in virtual campus activities, as well as inter-seminary student conferences and activities.
Structure & Process
The program is a distance education based diploma program. Courses are provided through web-based classrooms and students are directed by qualified faculty and mentored by their local clergy who provide support, guidance, and direction for the student.
Completion of written examinations, assigned papers, e-classroom attendance and participation are required for each course. A senior thesis as well as a practicum are required during the last year of study on a topic/project chosen in consultation with the student's mentor, and approved by the Dean.
All Pastoral Theology candidates, unless a specific waiver is obtained from the Dean of the School, must attend a summer residence program offered by the Liturgical Music Program at Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary in Jordanville, New York. Students must successfully complete the courses in Church Slavonic and in Liturgics offered through that Program.
In addition, candidates in Pastoral Theology must demonstrate proficiency in Russian or another language appropriate to their jurisdictional tradition. In lieu of demonstrated proficiency, students must successfully complete two (2) semesters at any accredited college or university, junior/community college or may use the services of a independent instructor, or tutorial program who will certify the students competency.
At the completion of the program candidates for graduation must pass an oral examination administered by a panel consisting of the Pastoral School's President, Vice-President, Dean, and at least one additional member appointed by the President.
Graduates will receive the Diploma offered by the Pastoral School of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America and registered with the State of Illinois Department of Education.
Duration & Schedule
The program duration is two years and consists of four (4) semesters of study and a Summer Residence experience for Pastoral Theology majors. The Summer Residency Program must be completed in the summer before the student expects to graduate.
Applications should be submitted by September 1st of the year that the student intends to begin studies. The fall semesters begins on the third Monday of September and is completed in January. The spring semester begins in February with final examinations in early June.
Students must begin the School in the fall semester; no new applicants are accepted for the spring semester. Normally the Program is completed in two (2) years of four consecutive semesters. Students may enroll in the program on a part time basis; however the Diploma must be completed within seven (7) academic years.

Father accused of murdering baby
12:27pm Wednesday 12th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A father crushed his eight-week-old baby's skull while he was left in charge of her for just 20 minutes after secretly drinking whisky and vodka, a court has heard.
Richard Barnes went to buy more alcohol after inflicting the devastating injuries on baby Grace in November last year at the family home in Crowther Steet, Castleford, West Yorkshire, the prosecution said.
He denies murder and told relatives later there was a clash of heads and he fell on the infant by accident, the Leeds Crown Court jury heard.
It was still unclear how and why the 27-year-old Haribo sweets employee inflicted the head injuries from which Grace died four days later, Richard Mansell QC, prosecuting, said.
"There is no doubt that he did cause those injuries in a deliberate and unlawful assault upon his daughter, during a short period of time when he was in sole charge of Grace while her mother Stephanie was out of the house," he said.
Barnes either kicked or stamped on the back of her head, or he may have crushed her skull by pressing it against a hard surface such as a floor, he said. "Again this could have been by way of a stamp," Mr Mansell added. "Either way, when he inflicted these injuries, he can only have intended to cause her really serious bodily harm and therefore the prosecution alleges he is guilty of her murder."
There were no concerns about Grace's care during her short life, and the family home Barnes shared with Stephanie Rudd, his partner since 2006, was "spotless", the prosecution said. Mr Mansell said the defendant had a drink problem which he hid from Ms Rudd.
Before attacking his eight-week-old he drank at least four miniature bottles of whisky, two vodka miniatures and two beers, the court heard. He filmed himself in his bathroom drinking two whiskies that lunchtime, saying "Pretty strong is that" before belching loudly.
Mr Mansell said drink "certainly played a part" in the murder and the amount he had consumed was "worrying" if he was caring for an eight-week-old. After the attack he went to buy two more miniatures rather than ring 999, the jury heard.
Ms Rudd was away for 20 minutes while she drove her mother Rinatre Rhodes home. As soon as she got back, Barnes called out to her saying he clashed heads with Grace after she was sick while he fed her. The case continues.

Quote:I love my CPC0800 as well. Same thing Patrick said - nothing is going to move it - not even a little kid yanking on the eyepiece. It tracks very accurately so I don't have to continually keep checking to make sure the object is centered.I tried outreach before with a 5" reflector on a manual alt/az tripod, and it was kind of a trainwreck.I prefer full go-to for these types of events.
Quote: As I said, I think it mostly depends on what scopes you are most enjoy as well as what aspects of the hobby you are hoping to share. With a simple alt-az mount, there is the possibility of teaching someone how to use it. It takes a little time, it's not always possible but it's a big thrill for someone when they find their first object and they walk way knowing they too can do it. That is empowerment.We all do it differently.
Quote:Wow, Jon, I like your position on this, but I guess I feel more like Tina and Patrick, kind of. What I want the public to see is the astronomical beauty in all its glory, with the person unencumbered by the basic physical reality of a rotating earth (magnified 50+/- times) and then having to make the person further aware of tracking via a mirror reversed or completely inverted point of view. These are not insurmountable things, something I managed on my own in the mid-seventies in 4th grade, so hardly rocket science, but .... Given my recent experiences, especially, I love the idea of a 10" dob. Still, I'm thinking I might sell my beloved AT80ED to buy a Celestron NexStar 4se, not because it's better, cause it's not, but just for the tracking. Since I have a 102mm ED, I should be good, but it'd be nice to have a tracking, easy to configure setup. I have an EQ-3 with clock, but at many outreach locations, Polaris is not visible. StarAlign's 3 star business and alt-az tracking sure would be welcome. The 10" dob would be for more 'familiar' crowds, but a 4se may be just the ticket for the unwashed masses.It's nice to teach people about the rotating earth, its axis, and the fact that the ENTIRE sky, sun included, is rotating around the Norh Star. Still, the non-binocular tracking takes some getting used to. Especially without knobs, which is mostly what I have now (6" dob or 102ED on AZ-4).

Inquiries vs. Brand Awareness
In the publishing business, we deliver brand awareness. When I started in this business many years ago, advertisers tried to measure effectiveness of an advertising program by sales leads. It never really worked that way.
If your company advertises in a magazine that is read by an audience of people who have the capability and need to buy or specify your product, you are absolutely doing the right thing. Magazines with good content and good readership, deliver attention and awareness to your ad.
This process takes a long period of time to be most effective. You cannot run one or two ads and expect results. Nor can you run an advertising program for several years, discontinue it, and expect to see a decline in business. It just does not work that way
Here is what I suggest to all marketers. Select the publications and websites that you believe to reach that right audience with good content. Commit to an integrated advertising program utilizing both print ads and online ads. Let it run year over year through recessions and booms.
You will be affecting brand awareness, you will be increasing the brand awareness of your products, you will be protecting and increasing your market position.
By the way, you will be generating sales leads. Every time someone calls you or goes to your website or calls your distributor, you have a sales lead. We just can't measure that for you any longer. The leads will be there, the brand awareness will be there.

The word integrity meaning wholeness seems to come from the word integer which, roughly speaking, refers to whole numbers. Why does integrity also mean honesty?
Dishonesty and other vices are often seen as corruptions, or shortcomings in a person's character or composition. An integral person, on the other hand, is whole. Such a person is not lacking in moral virtues. |
Etymology online has the following entry for integrity: That doesn't answer why integrity also means honesty, but you can see that circa 1540 the word began being used to express "uncorrupted virtue," which implies honesty, as a virtuous person does not lie. |
I'm not sure that integrity and honesty are entirely synonymous. I think integrity is closer to the word consistent than the word honest. Of course, you couldn't really be dishonest and have integrity because dishonesty requires inconsistency between your words and your thoughts. |
I agree with @John Weldon that integrity and honesty aren't synonymous. So defining integrity becomes important, and I'm inclined to go with the crowd on that--integrity in a human being is a state of having all the important virtues. Being "whole" or "complete" as a being of virtue. There would probably be some disagreement about which virtues are required for integrity, of course. In this view, honesty can be seen as a necessary condition of integrity--you can't be "integrated" without it--but you can be honest and still lack integrity if you also lack other crucial virtues. I think people sometimes think of integrity as synonymous with honesty because it's one of the most obvious virtues, and one that most people can agree is necessary for integrity. |
In the usage where integrity means honesty, it comes from a meaning that what you communicate and your actions/intentions are coherent with each other, forming a whole that has the property of integrity. |
This question ->1<- was closed, but I don't see it as a duplicate of this one at all. In the Mental Health professions, one speaks of "being Integrated" or "well Integrated", but the term "integrity" itself almost invariable has no special meaning. Rather, it has the common usage that associates it with ethical or moral values. A person could be "well integrated" i.e., in no way suffering from Associative Identity Disorder (the current term, not M.P.D.), and still have ethics or morals that their society would judge to be poor. So, the answer to the closed question is No, 'Integrity' is not an antonym to 'Honesty', but 'Integrated' could certainly be considered one. The answer to this question is that strictly speaking Integrity and Honesty are not identical, but in common usage what most other members of a society consider to be a whole, complete "well adjusted" person is usually one that they also consider honest. |

Toney's melancholy bluesy vocal laments her masterful take on the heartbreak story.
His first release in 5 years proves worth the wait.
GW exceeds the legal limit with this roundup of the 50 fastest masters of the fretboard.
Since moving to Nashville in the 1990s, producer and Emmy-winning songwriter Trey Bruce has written multiple hit singles (Five of them went to No. 1) and has collected more than a dozen ASCAP awards.
You shouldn't really have to use EQ in the studio if the instruments sound good. It should all be done with microphones and microphone placement. The instruments that bleed into each other are what creates the ambience. Once you start cleaning everything up, you lose it. You lose that sort of halo that bleeding creates. Then if you eliminate the halo, you have to go back and put in some artificial reverb, which is never as good.
Nothing affects the raw power of a legendary guitarist like a strong percussionist. Kurt Cobain knew this well and sought out a young woman he felt would be the perfect addition to his band, Nirvana.
Guitarist Andy Timmons and his band -- bassist Mike Daane and drummer Mitch Marine -- will perform Monday, March 19, at Iridium in New York City. Timmons will highlight songs from his 2011 release, Andy Timmons Band Plays Sgt. Pepper, an all-instrumental affair that pays tribute to The Beatles' 1967 masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
"Each Beatles album is great in its own unique way, but there's something about 'Sgt. Pepper's' that makes it stand alone," says guitarist Andy Timmons. "To call it a masterpiece is kind of a given. Of course it's a work of art, but what's amazing is the vivid feelings it evokes. Every time I hear it, I'm transported to being a kid again."

DialMyCalls app automates group calling
A couple months back I told you about Mr. PhoneTree, an iOS-only app that can automatically call every person in a group and play a recorded message--a huge time-saver for anyone who manages, say, a soccer team or social group.
Although the app came with 25 call credits to get you started, you had to purchase credit bundles after that. If you're looking for a cheaper solution and have minimal automated-call needs, check out DialMyCalls for Android and DialMyCalls for iOS.
The app is buggy and confusing in places, and much more limited than Mr. PhoneTree, but it does have one ace up its sleeve: it allows you one free phone blast per week (up to 30 seconds long and to as many as 25 people).
DialMyCalls comes from the Web-based service of the same name, but obviously it's far more convenient to set up and launch an automated call on your smartphone. The process is fairly straightforward--record your message, choose the recipients, then send the message--but the app suffers from numerous annoying quirks.
For starters, I couldn't create a new account on my iPhone; for some reason the app rejected my Gmail address as "invalid." Fortunately, I was able to set up an account on DialMyCalls.com, then sign into it on my phone. But the app requires your password every time you run it, with no option to remember it.… Read more

Three questions for success
Via the Business Opportunities Weblog comes this awesome story about Farrah Gray, who made his first million by age 14. Want to be a Millionaire? Ask Yourself Three Questions
"Ask yourself three questions. First, what comes easy to me, but harder to others? The second question is, what would you do for work for years and years and never have to get paid for it? And the third question is, how can you be of service and how can you give back?†Gray advises.
Same questions my parents taught me to always ask myself. =)

What is your rationale for calling Occupy members "losers"? Sounds like you are generalizing because you do not support their ideas???

Tom, just as you hide behind you Name, Tom M with no picture. It seems you have more in common with the Occupy Cleveland group than most posting here. A city of 400,000 that used to be a million, but you're more interested in knocking people down on the internet than doing something to help this city. The more you talk, the more I see through you and your non-sense.

Steve, read the PD this morning. CITY WORKERS are pictured dismantling the occupy tent as the occupy heroes sit on the sidewalk and watch. Proves my point.

Thanks for your service Adam. When liberals run out of arguments, they resort to labeling opponents as Tea Party supporters. Which doesnt bother me. I'm also for smaller government and lower taxes. I take it as a compliment.

I think this is an isolated group of lunatics. Like McVeigh or his co-conspirators, the gunman in Arizona (Weds. shooting). They exist. Some are anarchists, some are white-supremacists. Liberals don't want them to succeed anymore than you do.

Evan, you see my reverse physcology works everytime. First you think I am a liberal and I am resorting to call you a Tea Party Supporter, when in fact you are doing the same when you say all Occupy Cleveland Members (which again, I am not) want and promote violence against big corps and government. What do you call it when you and your friends on here begin labeling people or groups because some aholes where a part of their group?
Michael Rice
May 04, 2012 at 12:45 AM
Again, Tom you only read and interpret what you want to see. Read my whole profile and by the way, my records are very public. You're just not as smart as you think you are and don't know how to access them.
My profile: Lakewood Resident, Business Analyst, Cleveland Sports Fan, Middle School Football Coach, and Traumatic Brain Injury Advocate.
Where does it say I am an educator? You are proving my point about how you categorize people because you don't read thoroughly or simply don't understand. You see Tom, all I have to do is keep questioning you and your lack of knowledge and you show you really don't know too much. Peace out!
Evan Hammersmith
May 04, 2012 at 12:28 PM
Brian, you're not making any sense. There's NO evidence that the Tea Party is a racist group, or even has any racist signs displayed at rally's. To the obama supporter, any criticism of him is by default racist. That I take issue with. With regard to the occupy movement (Occupy Cleveland aside), there's a wealth of examples to show that the group is violent and unlawful to say the least. The two groups are not morally equivalent in any sense. The net affect of the occupy "movement" has been noise and destroyed property. The net affect of the tea party movement has been a landslide election of conservatives to the House of Representatives...

The Public Utility Commission alleges MXenergy Electric improperly switched about 22 customers to its service, possibly through an underhanded tactic known as "slamming." That occurs when a homeowner's electric supplier is changed without his or her permission.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"This commission has made it clear on numerous occasions that it will not tolerate unlawful activity that threatens to harm Pennsylvania's consumers and thereby the burgeoning retail electricity market," Commissioners Robert Powelson and Wayne Gardner said in rejecting the settlement and returning the case to commission lawyers for further action.
"We simply do not believe that a $500 per-customer penalty, even combined with the corrective actions, is enough to remedy this situation or to deter potential future violations," they said.
While the matter is pending and the allegations have not been proved, it is a reminder to proceed cautiously if someone knocks on your door selling electricity. You may be able to save money by changing your electric supplier, but that isn't a decision you should be making on your doorstep because it can be complicated.
A PUC investigative report says authorities believe about 22 cases "of alleged slamming or alleged unauthorized enrollments" stemmed from the actions of 17 sales agents MXenergy had fired for "unauthorized enrollment incidents."
MXenergy did not return my phone call or respond to my email seeking comment.
The state's proposed settlement with MXenergy said the company has a "satisfactory compliance history" and cooperated with the investigation.
The PUC started investigating in 2010 after it learned MXenergy had been sued by another electric supplier, Gateway Energy Services. Gateway alleged MXenergy had tricked two Slatington residents into switching from Gateway to MXenergy.
The lawsuit accused an MXenergy agent of going door to door falsely telling the Gateway customers he was working for Gateway, that MXenergy is affiliated with Gateway, and that Gateway had made a mistake on their contract.
The lawsuit says the MXenergy agent crossed out the Gateway logo on the contracts, wrote "MX" at the top and changed the rates on the contracts. It alleges he then told the customers to confirm via a phone call to a third-party verification company that the corrections had been made to their satisfaction, which resulted in their becoming MXenergy customers.
In court papers, MXenergy lawyers denied the allegations. They said there should have been no reason for the Slatington homeowners to believe the agent was working for Gateway because he was wearing an MXenergy uniform and did not say he was affiliated with Gateway.
The agent wrote on the Gateway contracts, but did so "to clearly demonstrate" the rate was MXenergy's rate and to differentiate it from Gateway's rate, according to court records, which also say the recordings of the verification phone calls made by the customers do not indicate they were confused. MXenergy alleged the unsworn written statements from the Slatington residents appeared to have been written by Gateway.
The parties settled the lawsuit in a few months. MXenergy denied wrongdoing, but agreed its agents would not write on or change Gateway contracts or make statements that could lead people to believe MXenergy is affiliated with Gateway.
The deregulated electric market in Pennsylvania has created a fertile ground for competition. Out-of-state companies you may never have heard of want you to buy power from them instead of the utility company you've traditionally been locked into, such as PPL, Met-Ed or PECO.
State officials worry that people who don't understand the new free-market system could be confused or misled by these sales pitches, and have enacted interim rules governing sales practices.
The rules require electricity suppliers to do background checks on sales agents and teach them Pennsylvania's consumer protection laws. Sales agents must wear photo identification and can't dress in uniforms that are "deceptively similar" to the local electric utility.
The state tries to prevent fraud by requiring customers to speak with a third-party verification company whose job is to make sure you understand the transaction when you switch suppliers.
If you are considering switching, there are factors to consider besides the price, such as: how long you will be locked into a contract, what it would cost to break that contract early, and whether the rate is fixed or variable. Rates can change often, so you must pay attention or you could end up paying more with your new supplier than you had been with your previous one.
If you want to shop around for electricity, start at http://www.papowerswitch.com, a website of the PUC. The Pennsylvania Office of Consumer Advocate also offers instructions on shopping for electricity at http://www.oca.state.pa.us or 800-684-6560.

Sixth St., Allentown, PA, 18101. Follow me on Twitter at mcwatchdog and on Facebook at Morning Call Watchdog.
Avoid being slammed
Don't give your electric account number to anyone you don't trust, as that information is needed to transfer you to a new electric supplier. All transfers are verified through a letter sent to your home. If you get a letter and you didn't sign up with a new supplier, contact your electric company or the Public Utility Commission at 800-692-7380.

Natural Onion Health Benefits and Home Cures
Last Modified on Feb 04, 2014
In addition to being our best home remedy to relieve severe vomiting, onions are revered as a natural cure for a wide variety of disorders and as a general antibiotic that can back up the body's own immune system.
The onion, like all members of the allium family, is rich in sulfur. That sulfur content can lend the onion antibiotic and antiseptic qualities that are often put to good use by the naturopath or home remedy practitioner for both internal and external use. For centuries, onions have been touted as the one thing that might be able to kill a flu infection, and many families have passed that remedy through the generations!
Natural Cures: In particular, onions are recommended for respiratory conditions, including coughs and colds. Taken raw it can be a good expectorant. Onion juice mixed equally with honey is a popular cough syrup. Their flavonoids and sulfur compounds make onions beneficial for the heart, cholesterol levels, diabetes, arthritis, and generally as an antioxidant.
Best Remedy to Stop Throwing Up
"Our friend Gail from Santa Monica, CA gave us this recipe a few years ago. It's an old Yogi remedy that will stop severe vomiting within minutes.
1. Prepare peppermint tea and allow to cool.
2. Grate an onion and squeeze the pulp through a cheese cloth (if desperate, just use a paper towel). Make 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Onion Juice.
3. Hold your nose and swallow the onion juice.
4. Follow with just 1 Tablespoon of peppermint tea. Wait ten minutes. Take another Tablespoon of peppermint tea. Wait 15 minutes.
This remedy should stop vomiting within 15 minutes, according to Gail. The peppermint tea helps to rehydrate you."
Replies[YEA] 01/03/2012: Joy from Regina, Sk, Canada replies: "WOW, does that remedy ever work. I wasn't throwing up but I had the chills and was constantly running to the bathroom thinking that I would be sick. Within half hour of this remedy, I quit sweating and my stomach is better! THANKS!"
Body Odor Side Effect
[YEA] 07/04/2006: Janet from NYC: "I think onions are without a doubt the main cause of bad underarm body odor. I made this discovery years ago when working in an office. Every few days, the receptionist would start reeking by mid-day. It was so bad you didn't want to stand anywhere near her. I decided I had to say something (no one dared too). She was completely mortified, but identified the onions on hamburgers that she ate as the culprit. She stopped eating onions and never had a problem again. I also start to reek if I eat onions 2 days in a row. I think this is the issue for people with bad BO... get rid of the onions!"
Replies03/25/2005: Ted replies: "When you have putrid underarm odors it is caused by other conditions, and onions just make the smell worse. The body's ability to oxygenate the body is severely depressed. Try alkalizing the body with sodium bicarbonate and take magnesium chloride as a supplements. Usually people with putrid odor is a sign of magnesium and zinc deficiency and onions sometimes get the bad rap. Also eating fried foods and vegetable oils also leads to putrid odors as well. Hydrogen peroxide therapy and silver colloids do help a lot with the putrid odors."
04/12/2012: Karen from Dubuque, Iowa replies: "One of the reasons the body odor is there is because onions help eliminate the toxins in your body. It may not necessarily be the onions that are making you smell or your friend's odor stand out but that of the toxins."
08/29/2012: Mike from Losangels, Celifornia, Usa replies: "In addition to being our best home remedy to relieve severe vomiting, onions are revered as a natural cure for a wide variety of disorders and as a general antibiotic that can back up the body's own immune system. Natural Cures: In particular, onions are recommended for respiratory conditions, including coughs and colds. Taken raw it can be a good expectorant. Onion juice mixed equally with honey is a popular cough syrup. Their flavonoids and sulfur compounds make onions beneficial for the heart, cholesterol levels, diabetes, arthritis, and generally as an antioxidant. so Onion Cures is best for our body."
[YEA] 11/15/2005: Sharon from Victoria, Australia: "I have stumbled across a remedy for coughs and bronchitis. slice an onion and place in bowl layer with pure honey, leave sit for an hour or so, this will yield a syrup. Have a teaspoon every 15 minutes until coughing chest soreness subsides."
[YEA] 04/23/2009: Gabriela from Pahoa, HI: "Onion Juice for Cancer:
"Onion Juice Therapy for Cancer is a concentrated method for absorbing as much of the beneficial elements from onions as possible, specifically for the treatment of various forms of cancer. While supported by widely recognized scholars in the Sufi tradition and practiced for centuries contemporary scientific evidence is limited outside of new studies that have proven certain varieties of onions to be much more effective than others in fighting cancer. These studies are spawning new interest in how to increase the consumption of onions in your diet and how best to administer onions in fighting cancer. The medicinal use of juices is common in {juice fasting} which is recommended for a wide variety of illnesses."
Source: http://curezone.org/forums/fmp.asp?i=1371688"
Replies01/07/2012: Solomon from Whitefield, Bury, England replies: "An Excerpt from Prophetic Medicines: "Last year I was in New York, and brought to me was this lady with a tumour in her head; she had a child.I told her to drink onion juice. I also read surat al-fatiha (the first chapter of the Qur'an) 7 times onto some water on behalf of Shaykh Nazim and God, telling her to drink it.
A week later she had an x-ray at the hospital and the tumour was gone. It's not because I read (the surah on behalf of Shaykh Nazim and God) or the onion juice, it's because she believed that it could happen. She believed in God and his Prophet (SAW).
A year later I saw her again, and she had been cancer free for the whole time with no operation and no chemotherapy.
My recommendation for people with this problem is to take onion juice and to read surat al-fatiha seven times on water, or coffee for example, and drink it. They could alternatively read fatiha seven times and blow on themselves. If they are not able, someone else can read fatiha for them.""
[YEA] 01/23/2013: Sb from Sc Mtns, Ca: "I used to get colds/flu, brochitis, ammonia etc.. ALL the time- every year like clockwork.. A turning point in my life was when RAW onions became a fav. EXTRA onions on everything, everyday- I eat alot of onions. I never get sick anymore... In fact right now, everyone I know is dropping like flies with the flu/cold and I just ate a sandwhich with half an onion on it- feeling GREAT;)"
[YEA] 02/01/2008: Gabriela from Pahoa, USA: "When I had a cold or the flu in the past, my body could never get rid of it. I always got bronchitis and always had to take anti-biotics to finally stop it all. One day I said to myself with TOTAL determination: I will not allow to get a cold again, because my body can't fight it. Since then I have had only one cold (in 10 years). That one I cured with the juice of one large organic onion per day(made in the Champion juicer) and mixed with fresh orange juice. I had to drink this for 2 days only and was fine again. I regard onion juice as a natural anti-biotic."

[YEA] 01/06/2010: Asmaa from Kuwait: "Cough
i tried this recipe from a friend's mom and it worked wonders. Peel Red Onions and make thick slices (may be say 3 or 4). Keep the slice in a bowl and put 1 tbsp sugar, then put another slice and again put 1 tbsp sugar, repeat the process until all slices are covered with sugar. Do this in the night and keep it until morning. In the morning there will be some juice in the bowl. Squeeze the onion with your hands to extract some more juice and drink it. Do it for 3 days. i got relief immediately after the first try."
[YEA] 12/29/2007: Wendy from Sylmar, CA: "Slice up a brown or yellow onion and place it in a breathable bag such as a linen bag. Put it is bed near the face of the sufferer and it will stop the coughing within minutes. If the sufferer is awake, tie the bag around the neck and lie down on the couch with eyes closed. I thank God for the wonderful herbs He gives us to help our sicknesses!"
[YEA] 01/22/2006: Seema from UK: "peel one large onion and cut in in half, put a half a tablespoon of brown sugar on to each half of the onion, and cover it, let it stand for an hour. The syrup relish should be taken at least twice a day. It works wonders."
[YEA] 11/15/2005: Sharon from Victoria, Australia: "I have stumbled across a remedy for coughs and bronchitis. slice an onion and place in bowl layer with pure honey, leave sit for an hour or so, this will yield a syrup. Have a teaspoon every 15 minutes until coughing chest soreness subsides."
Coughs and Congestion
[YEA] 05/02/2009: Willowone from Athens, GA: "Onions for cough and congestion: My first child was colicky and had several colds with congestion. The doctors gave him antibiotics that did not seem to help. I felt like the cold went away on its own. My grandmother told me about the onions. My second and third children never had to take antibiotics. I would take a onion or part of onion about the size of a golf ball and grate up in a bowl.Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover and put in the fridge for 45 minutes. The sugar draws the syrup out of the onion. I would then take a dropper full and give to the child. It does not taste bad (try it yourself). It clears their chests and helps them sleep. I never had a problem with using it. Now when I feel like I am getting a cold I always eat more raw onions."
[YEA] 07/17/2010: Leriejane from Seattle, Wa, Usa : "If you have a cut, putting a piece of onion skin, the transparent film, onto it will stop it from bleeding immediately. I got this tip from a magazine and tried it when I cut myself chopping vegetables. The onion instantly stopped the bleeding. The cut was no longer than 1 inch, and not seriously deep, just enough to gross one out."
Ear Ache
[YEA] 03/29/2008: Dee from Brooks, Alberta Canada: "Since I was a child my mother would put the heart of the onion in our ear and sleep with it in, by morning your ear will be find, also works on wax build up"
