North Carolina made sweeping change to the way its citizens vote on Monday as Gov. Pat McCrory signed House Bill 589 - commonly referred to as Voter ID bill – into law despite vehement protests from some, including the state's Attorney General.
The 47-page bill includes dramatic, and subtle, changes to the way North Carolina holds elections. Some of the changes are small - for example, ballots have listed the Democratic candidates first because the candidates were listed in alphabetical order, based on the dominant parties. Since "D" comes before the Republican "R," Democrats went first.
Under the new bill, the candidates from the first dominant party listed will be the candidates from the party that led the voting for governor in the last election – in this case, the Republicans.
Others are more dramatic. The bill's highlights include the new requirements on a photo identification, which McCrory called "common sense." That rule takes effect Jan. 1, 2016.
"North Carolinians overwhelmingly support a common sense law that requires voters to present photo identification in order to cast a ballot," McCrory said in a statement. "I am proud to sign this legislation into law.
"Common practices like boarding an airplane and purchasing Sudafed require photo ID and we should expect nothing less for the protection of our right to vote."
The governor's office pointed to recent polls from Elon University and Civitas that showed strong support for the measure.
But there was serious opposition. North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper has opposed the bill. On Friday, he told WNCN, Cooper called it bad public policy, but he says there's another compelling reason for the governor to reject the measure.
"One of the consequences of signing this legislation is you're to have expensive litigation," Cooper said.
On Monday, it didn't take long for Cooper to criticize McCrory in a statement, saying, "This bill was much more than just voter ID. There were dozens of reasons to veto this bad elections bill with its restrictions on voting, more corporate campaign money and reduced public disclosure being just a few."
The NAACP, which has led the Moral Monday protests, said Monday, "We will fight this race-based, immoral and regressive bill with everything we have and believe we will be victorious."
McCrory stumbled in a recent news conference when pressed by an Associated Press reporter about the bill and admitted he had not read the bill entirely. On Monday morning, he did not take questions from reporters, who went to a public appearance to question him.
McCrory, however, defended the bill at length in his statement Monday afternoon and also released a video on his website addressing the bill.
"Let me be direct. Many of those from the extreme left who have been criticizing photo ID are using scare tactics," he said. "They are more interested in divisive politics than ensuring that no one's vote is disenfranchised by a fraudulent ballot."
Acceptable forms of identification include a valid North Carolina driver's license, U.S. passport and various military IDs are among the acceptable forms of photo identification. A voter can also obtain a state-issued photo-ID from the Department of Motor Vehicles for free.
WNCN took a lengthy look at the bill and found:

There's a lot that can change between now and September, that much is clear. However, as we draw closer to the draft it's an opportunity to see where the roster's strengths and weaknesses lay. Today we're taking an early look at how Ron Rivera's team are coming together.
Dave Gettleman did excellent work over the last month to shed salary, improve the cap situation, and strengthen the team's special teams unit. The draft will be the second part of this development, and that will fill the holes we currently see.
QB: Cam Newton/ Derek Anderson/ Jimmy Clausen
RB: Jonathan Stewart/ DeAngelo Williams/ Tauren Poole
FB: Mike Tolbert
TE: Greg Olsen/ Ben Hartsock/ Ritchie Brockel
WR1: Steve Smith/ Ted Ginn/ Joe Adams
WR2: Brandon LaFell/ Kealoha Pilares/ David Gettis
LT: Jordan Gross/ Bruce Campbell
LG: Amini Silatolu/ Thomas Austin
C: Ryan Kalil
RG: Geoff Hangartner/ Jeff Byers
RT: Byron Bell/ Garry Williams
DE: Greg Hardy/ Mario Addison/ Thomas Keiser
DT: Frank Kearse/ Sione Fua/ Colin Cole
DT: Dwan Edwards/ Nate Chandler
DE: Charles Johnson/ Frank Alexander
SLB: Jon Beason/ Kenny Onatolu
MLB: Luke Kuechly
WLB: Thomas Davis/ Jordan Senn
CB1: Drayton Florence/ D.J. Moore/ Josh Thomas
CB2: Josh Norman/ Captain Munnerlyn/ James Dockery
SS: D.J. Campbell/ Mike Mitchell
FS: Charles Godfrey/ Haruki Nakamura
K: Graham Gano
P: Brad Nortman
LS: J.J. Jansen
KR: Ted Ginn
PR: Ted Ginn
The Weaknesses
Defensive tackle
You don't need to be told how bad the situation is, but putting it down on paper makes it downright scary. Getting back Dwan Edwards was vital -- but the depth is as poor as it gets. They have to find a way to bolster this unit prior to the draft, even if the plan is to find a first round talent at the position.
Third wide receiver
Right now Ted Ginn is penciled in, and that's less than ideal. Teams have been burnt in the past relying on Ginn in the slot, and the Panthers can't be the next in line. A 49ers fan stopped by after the signing and told us it looked like Ginn lost a step following his 2011 injury, and while he's still better than what Carolina have on special teams, even hobbled, they have to find a true option to support Cam Newton. The offense needs new weapons, and the bright side is that the team realize it.
Right side offensive line
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think the left will be fine in 2013. The return of Ryan Kalil will ease a lot of Amini's first-season struggles, and there was enough growth over the course of the season to believe he'll be okay. The real problem is the right, where Carolina are leaning on Geoff Hangartner (who was abysmal) and Byron Bell (with a share of lapses). This is a huge liability, especially when Cam doesn't deal well with rushing defensive tackles, and front-side blitzes.
The Strengths
Switching out James Anderson for Jon Beason is addition by subtraction. Granted, this is assuming Beast returns to full-strength, but it's too early to postulate otherwise. With Jordan Senn returning it offers more quality depth, and players who can play on special teams. The loss of Jason Phillips will hurt slightly, because he was an excellent option where needed, but overall it feels like this unit is stronger than last year's, purely by virtue of the likely starters.
"Things I never thought I'd say for $500, Alex"
Make no mistake, the loss of Chris Gamble is a huge hit on the top-end talent of the secondary, however the depth throughout the unit is much improved through the additions of Drayton Florence and D.J. Moore. In this scenario Josh Norman retains his starting job, and it's largely for no reason other than size. Rivera and Gettleman have talked about the need to play big, and here I think they'll rely on the two largest corners on the roster -- especially with the cadre of NFC South receivers.
Defensive end
Johnson and Hardy are one of the NFL's best pass rushing duos, and now they're supported with quality depth. Frank Alexander has a lot of room to improve, but showed flashes in his rookie season. Pair that with late-season pickup Mario Addison, and Thomas Kesier -- both of whom have had moments, and ultimately this is a group of pass rushers who look like they can make an impact.

The 2012 season has been a nightmare for the Auburn Tigers, and the Vanderbilt Commodores were more than happy to keep it going on Saturday, winning 17-13 in Nashville. Running back Zac Stacy broke the Vanderbilt school record for rushing yards, and was the focal point for the Commodore offense, which rolled up over 200 rushing yards on the day. Even though Vandy turned the ball over three times, Auburn was unable to take advantage of those mistakes. The loss drops the Tigers to 1-6, their worst start since 1952.
Vanderbilt fumbled with just over two minutes remaining in the game, and Auburn recovered at their own 32 yard line. They moved the ball into Vanderbilt territory, but were unable to convert on a 4th and 13 with 57 seconds remaining.
Auburn was without tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen injury, who missed the game with an undisclosed injury and may be out for the rest of the season. Had he played, things may have gone a bit more smoothly for the Tigers offense. Without him, they struggled mightily to throw the ball. Clint Moseley started at quarterback, and while he completed 70% of his passes, the Tigers were unable to find any consistency. They also struggled on third downs, converting only one out of ten chances.
Tre Mason was the Tigers' best player, racking up 84 rushing yards and a touchdown. Emory Blake was Auburn's leading receiver with four catches for 47 yards.
Box Score Hero: Zac Stacy had 27 rushes for 163 yards and a touchdown, and became the all-time leading rusher in Vanderbilt football history. Quite a day for him.
Rankings Ramifications: Neither team was ranked coming into the game, and neither will be afterwards.
But did they cover? The Commodores were 6.5 point favorites entering the game, so they did not cover the spread.
What's next?
Vanderbilt: 10/27 vs. UMass
Auburn: 10/27 vs. Texas A&M

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

A North Carolina man was sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison for illegal firearm possession, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin.
Jason Alexander Thompson, 28, previously pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm last year.
Officers said they arrested Thompson in 2010 after they found a pistol on him in Huntington.
Thompson was prohibited from owning any guns because of a 2003 felony conviction for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.
Thompson was also on supervised release at time his most recent offence, so the court added an additional 10 months to his sentence. This means he will spend close to four years behind bars.
The Huntington Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives handled the investigation.

Dark amber almost brown appearance, ever so slight ring of head to it with little lace accumulation. Aroma was nice and hoppy in the grapefruit realm.
Taste, just a weird aftertaste on this one, heavily bitter. I really wanted to like it, as I loved the brewer's work while at Valley, I loved the name, but alas, this one was a relative miss for me. Alcohol was up there on this one.

Poured from 22oz bottle into a pint glass:
A: Appears as a normal IPA, with dark amber hues and good amount of carbonation. There is not much head, but what's there shows considerable lacing as it subsides.
S: Crisp hops, pine, lemon, and grapefruit. It smells good, but isn't out of the ordinary.
T: Definite hop profile with a big grapefruit bite. Cream, toasted malts, almonds, lemon. The taste is pretty good.
M: Light, creamy, smooth. Finishes bitter and dry as it should.
O: This wasn't a bad DIPA at all. I'd like to check this out in the future.

On-tap @ Library Alehouse; served in a 5oz taster glass.
A sort of burnt-orange liquid with great clarity and a snow white head which is thin but lasting. Paint/batter - like lacing coats the sides.
Sweet caramel aroma backed by a fresh citrus/herbal/resinous blast of hops.
Bitter melon, grapefruit, black pepper, and mint on the palate. Punishingly bitter with a drying earthy finish. Malt adds a touch of honey, while the alcohol gives a substantial kick as well. Pungent flavors, but abrasive profile overall.
Creamy, medium-bodied, warming (not quite hot), and moderately carbonated.
The spicy bitterness and alcohol force you to slip slowly; as a fan of the IPAs he brewed for Valley, I'm happy to see Steve back in action - but this beer is aptly named and makes me wonder what my palate ever did to deserve such a harsh revenge.

Thanks to hophead247 for this extra!
Translucent amber-orange color with about a finger of sticky white head. Smells of really piney hops with some hints of mango and other citrus fruits. I do pick up a sense of caramel in the nose. Taste is really hop forward, with the pineyness taking the driver's seat. The malt backbone doesn't really supply the support of the bitterness. At 9.5%, the alcohol is barely there. The mouthfeel is on the medium side, so this one goes down rather quick. Leaves the mouth dry, like other west coast DIPAs I've had the fine privilege of enjoying. Nice for an extra, and I doubt I'll ever get another chance to have it again.

Poured a deep clean amber color with a huge sticky off white head.
The smell is mild with a light toasty bit of grain and some mild juniper hop notes.
Starts of big and syrupy sweet with some biscuit notes. The hops take over in the finish with a nice even blast of juniper bitterness with a touch of mint. The hop bitterness is there, but the hop flavors are a bit lacking.
The mouthfeel is thick and oily, lots of resin leaving a long lasting bitter coating.
Nothing special here, just your average malt bomb trying to be balanced out with a ton of bitterness, not terrible but a long way from great.

Just had a 22 oz. Bomber
Had never heard of this, but figured let me try something new
Really didn't have any expectations - Not all that impressive
Definitely not that hoppy - more malty than I like
Alcohol was masked, but that wasn't enough to give this a high grade
Would not buy this again

3.45/5 rDev -9.4%
No freshness info available. Served at 50F in to CBS Snifter.
A - Medium translucent orange with half a finger of cream coloured head that quickly receded to a few bubbles.
S - Pine, peppery/spicy and light citrus aromas up front with a bitterness that is not overwhelming but is definitely present. A sweet malt backbone is also present in the nose.
T - A massive, almost abrasive bitterness up front with pine, citrus and earthy/floral notes. There is also a big, sweet caramel malt backbone - bigger than I expected for a west coast DIPA, but it is necessary to cut through the massive hop bitterness. The finish is dry and puckering.
M - Medium body, slight carbonation. Nice tongue coating hop oils.
O - Delivers as advertised - a huge hop bomb but didn't come together perfectly. Got better as my tongue adjusted to it.

On tap poured into a nonic pint glass. Dark hazy orange with a finger of off white bubbly head. The head mostly dissipated, leaving no lacing. Good amount of carbonation visible through the beer though, small bubbles slowly rising to the surface.
Nose is a nice combination of citrus and pine hops, bitter orange peel, fresh pine, sweet citrus tangerine, and caramel malt. The bitterness is balanced by a fruity and malty sweetness.
Taste follows the nose mostly, orange and grapefruit peel bitterness with only a hint of pine in the aftertaste. Good sweetness from the fruity citrus flavors and a light caramel malt. Flavor balanced, with a nice lingering citrus and pine bitterness on the tongue.
Medium bodied with good light bubble carbonation keeps the tongue from getting overly dry. Only a light hop dryness that goes away after a minute or so, inviting the next sip for your taste buds to experience the beer all over again. Alcohol is well hidden and not detectable at all. If not for the bold initial hop profile and strong malt back bone, it would be hard to tell that this is just under 10% abv.

Appearance- copper color, very thin head
Smell- piney hops, very nice
Taste- hops, slightly bitter finish, light for a double IPA but still very good
Mouthfeel- medium bodied
Drinkability- very good. I like it a lot.

I had to adjust my ratings because this beer has changed dramatically. First two batches were excellent beers, newer batches are decent but very different and much less impressive.
Original review:
Draft at Gourmet Haus Staudt.
Appearance: Pale burnished copper, brilliantly clear with a frothy white head that shows solid retention.
Aroma: This one takes a minute to open up, but it's got an amazing nose when it does. Heavy on the citrus fruits, namely tangerine and grapefruit, with undertones of peach and pineapple. Alcohol is present at a low level, buried beneath the hops.
Palate: Juicy, ripe tropical fruit flavors hit the palate first. Pineapple, grapefruit, a bit of peach. Malt is present at a pleasant level for a DIPA this big; it brings a light balancing sweetness that highlights the hop flavors without overwhelming them. There's an alcohol kick, but the beer is highly quaffable regardless. The finish is bitter and punchy, but ultimately clean. I'm happy to say that this beer exceeds any IPA Steve brewed with Valley. If there was a less noticeable alcohol on the palate, it would be an A+ beer.

Establish a Medical Home
Do you have a primary care physician who coordinates your medical care? If you do, this might be your medical home. A medical home is an approach to providing comprehensive care that recenters health care on a patient's needs and priorities. Medical homes have been shown to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and improve patient, family, physician, and staff satisfaction. For more information, go to the Citizens Health Initiative's Medical Home Project. The Citizens Health Initiative, in collaboration with Pfizer, Inc., developed two mini-documentaries about what it is like to be part of a medical home.

Already sick of hearing about the Heat vs. the Knicks? Tired of Kobe Bryant talk? Do we have the series for you! The Indiana Pacers will meet the Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs. It's a shame that there isn't more systemic love for the Pacers, who are a really strong team. Understandably, the Magic lost their postseason luster when Dwight Howard went under the knife. It's no surprise that this is the only first-round series with two games scheduled for NBA TV.
Here's the series schedule as released by the NBA. All times are Eastern.
Game 1 - Sat., April 28 at Indiana, 7 p.m., ESPN
Game 2 - Mon., April 30 at Indiana, 7:30 p.m., NBA TV
Game 3 - Wed., May 2 at Orlando, 7:30 p.m., NBA TV
Game 4 - Sat., May 5 at Orlando, 2 p.m., ESPN
Game 5 - Tue., May 8 at Indiana
Game 6 - Fri., May 11 at Orlando
Game 7 - Sun., May 13 at Indiana

Showing 1 through 10 of 21 reviews
"very Good"
I put part of a box of these away about 13 years ago because I liked them then. They are even better now!William in Green Spring October 13, 2013
"Tough Smoke"
Nice tasting cigar but more than half the box was difficult to smoke,very tough draw. Had to toss more than a dozen because it's not enjoyable if I have to struggle to smoke them.Rob Wilson in Colorado Springs September 4, 2013
"...not bad..."
An interesting name - Cuban Blend - not really relfective of it's namesake, never-the-less, a very nice smoke - on the sweet side from start to about the middle and then it spices up. I enjoyed it to the nub - good draw all the way. The appearance was rustic - big veins, some construction mishaps - not as pretty as some of the other RP lines. All that said, I'll have another please...Joe in Ottawa Canada July 18, 2011
"My "go to cigar""
I just can't enough good stuff about about the RP Cuban Blend Corojo. I smoke the petit belicosos, robustos and the toros. The are always consistently excellent. I usually watch the Cigar Monster and when one of the 3 go on sale I stock up. The box of toros I'm smoking now have been aged for over a year in my locker at the local humidor. They are excellent! To give you an idea of my tastes, I like Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic, 601 Red, Green and the Black, as well as RP Olde World Reserve Corojos. You have got to try these excellent, affordable cigars.Steven Fowler in Atlanta September 23, 2010
"Smooth and spicy-an excellent cigar!"
The ad says full bodied. This cigar seemed more medium bodied to me. Very smooth with spicy flavors, no harsh aftertaste. Mellow. Much like a Romeo y Julieta 1875 to me. Very good cigar, well-made at a reasonable price. I would order these again.Ryan A in Minneapolis, MN September 17, 2010
"Pleasant surprise!"
A nice rich tasting medium to full bodied stick. The burn was perfect from start to finish. Will by again!Steve in Clearfield,PA. February 11, 2009
"I enjoyed it from pre-light to nub."
If the rest of these are as good as this one is so far, I'll be wishing I'd have picked up a box. Reminded me quite a bit of the Nording. Very good full tobacco taste with some mile spiciness and hints of a caramel like sweetness. Loads of smoke with a nice even burn leaving salt and pepper ash that held to nearly an inch. This smoke was so good I used my 6X2-1/2 inch wood screw to nub it! I see a box in my future, maybe a Monster deal? But wait at least a month, you guys got this months and next months cigar money already!nozero in Arlington, TX November 8, 2008
"Another nice blend by RP"
Very attractive wrapper and very well packed. Notes of pepper up front but smoothed out right away. Lots of woody notes and very creamy. I really loved the thick volume of smoke, the draw was good and the burn was even right to the end. Smoked this after resting in my humidor for 3 weeks. No, not Cuban, but another nice job by RockyNA Johnson in NY September 10, 2007
"Nice, complex blend"
I've received these a few times in samplers--didn't like them at first. But then I got one that must have been in its prime--it was exquisite! I generally don't like Nicaraguan cigars, but these have just enough Nic. in the blend to add nicely to the complexity without overpowering the other flavors. I bought a box on the Monster deal, and have really been enjoying them. Like many RP's, they are full flavor, but not harsh.Jerry in Connecticut September 7, 2007
"even better"
The corojo is even better than the maduro and I referred to those excellent cigars earlier. US prices and availability far exceed the UK too.Creekend UK in UK August 1, 2007

Sad Day
I mentioned before our son was finally coming home after ten months in Iraq. His unit is now at Ft. Bliss in El Paso, Texas. He just called today and one of his men who has been with him through it all slipped in the barracks laundry room and hit his head. It appears to be very serious. He will probably survive but has suffered extensive brain damage. Sometimes it makes one wonder just how things work.
Always try the easiest thing first.
You just never know what God has in store for you. Brent, tell your son we'll pray for the young man and hope for the best.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Brent, first I'm very glad to hear that your son made it home safely, and let him know that us regular Canucks are proud of 'em too!!
Secondly, we will also keep the other young man in our prayers.
V.P. of T.S.A. (taking stuff apart)
Brent, and particularly your son & his outfit...
Welcome home! and from an old vet: SALUTE!
It's really nice to see the media forced to show that real people do support our young men & women in uniform [once again]
A heartfelt prayer for his comrade, and for the return of the outfit.
One of the few advantages of growing older is that I finally realized that I haven't made ALL the stupid mistakes! Yet!
Glad your son made it home safe and sound and in time for the Holidays. We shall pray for the young man who was injured. It does seem strange that he was able to survive Iraq and then this happens.
I am sure that God is watching over him, and that there is a rhyme and reason for what happens. It is just beyond our ken to know why.
For your son and the rest of his unit - pass on from a Canadian vet - Bravo Zulu - well done! We appreciate all that these soldiers have done to right wrongs and bring peace and stability to the middle east and security to our homelands.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Thanks to all of you for supporting our troops. Believe me it means alot to them. I'll pass your comments on to our son. I also contacted our local ABC news station to see if they might give his unit some recognition when they finally get back to their base in Irvine Ca. Should be sometime in mid January. Supposedly between 911 and Operation Iraqi Freedom his reserve unit has been deployed longer than most.
Always try the easiest thing first.
As the father of 2 Marines I know how proud you are of your son and also know how glad you are to have him home...Holidays or not. We are all proud of their sacrifice for our freedom and welcome home
Please convey our deapest sympathies to your son and his buddy's family. Our prayers are with him and his family.
Rudi is right, things do happen for reasons we may never know.

This TV is amazing.. I have the 47 inch version of it and it blows me away every time I watch a movie or play game in 3D it also has a wide viewing angle that allows more than just one person to watch a great quality 3D image. I have seen a high end 3D tv with active glasses and the picture quality is near the same so I dont know what the gadget show producers and presenters are saying by slandering the tvs picture quality and only giving this 3Gs when they both was also blown away by the comment they said on the show. With all active tvs you need to be directly infront of the tv if your not you wont see the 3D effect and the glasses make watching to tv a real let down by the weight of them compared to the passive 3D glasses, also if you ever need replacement glasses the cinema real D glasses work just aswell and you dont need to recharge them ever as they dont run on batteries unlike the active ones.Report as inappropriate

There's a lot on the line for both teams in tomorrow's football game between NDSU and Youngstown State. Both teams have a shot at an outright Missouri Valley Championship.
If the Bison win tomorrow then they'll claim their third straight Valley crown and lock up a top seed in the playoffs with home field advantage throughout the semifinals. The Penguins can still win the Valley outright as well if they win their final two games, ensuring that this one should probably live up to the hype.

Accy software vendor adds debtor auto hassle
Small business accountancy provider KashFlow is extending its platform with Getting-Paid, an online service which automatically chases slow payers. It sends reminders to customers which gradually increase in severity until the invoice is paid. KashFlow founder Duane Jackson said: Almost everybody is concerned about the current …
Just like factored invoices !
Customers don't like being hassled by third parties. Debt-collectors and Factoring Agents just piss them off so they buy from someone else.
SME's suffer most? Well DUH! Both the customer AND the supplier are bigger so the SME has no bargaining position with them. Squeezed from both ends.
What's new?
How is this different from powerless debt collectors just sending letters 'increasing in severity'?
1. Payment late - pay now
2. Final warning - pay now
3. Final final warning. Court action an option
4. Final final final warning. Court action imminent.
5 Final final final final warning. Court action being prepared!
6. Erm, out of ideas.

Curriculum and Class Descriptions
The English Language Center offers six levels of English language instruction: Basic through Level 5. All new students must take a placement test during the ELC Testing and Orientation.
Classes are held between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday-Thursday and between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM on Friday.
The English Language Center is an intensive English language program. To be successful here, students MUST have some knowledge or prior study of English before they begin. The ELC does not offer basic ESL courses. Students must be able to read, write and speak English well enough to understand classroom commands, talk about family, home and themselves. Students may take this quiz to see if they are ready to study at the ELC.
If a student arrives at the ELC for orientation and testing and tests into a basic level he or she will be asked to transfer to another program.
Level 1 – Level 5
- Students attend class 22.5 hours per week
- Students who complete our Level 5 (College Prep) will receive an English Language Center Certificate of Completion and are prepared to be successful undergraduate at the University of Denver or other universities.
- The University of Denver will accept the successful completion of Level 5 in place of a TOEFL or IELTS score for admission to undergraduate study.
Level 1 - Beginning:
In level 1, students learn basic reading skills while reading texts that are limited to several paragraphs. Students use the grammar they are learning to write correct sentences and learn the basic structure of paragraphs. They learn to use basic verb tenses and other basic sentence structures in speaking and writing. Students practice speaking with the grammar they are learning. Students also work on pronunciation skills and participate in short discussions.
Level 2 - Low Intermediate:
In level 2, students learn to find the main idea and specific information in readings and to understand the meaning of longer sentences. They write paragraphs that include specific details and longer, more complex sentences. Students learn to recognize all grammar structures from this level in reading and listening and the ability to use all structures in both speaking and writing. Students also work on pronunciation skills and participate in short discussions.
Level 3 - Intermediate:
Students learn to critically read, analyze and discuss academic texts appropriate to Level 3. They also read many short books outside of class. Students continue with paragraph writing and then begin to write short essays. They learn to recognize all grammar structures in reading and listening and the ability to use all structures in both speaking and writing. Students give oral presentations to the class, take notes on lectures, and learn to participate in academic discussions.
Level 4 - High Intermediate:
Students learn to critically read, analyze, summarize, and discuss longer academic texts appropriate for level 4. Students in this level will also read a book and discuss it in class. Students write longer essays and learn to include more sophisticated sentence structures in their writing. Students learn to recognize all level 4 grammar structures in reading and listening and the ability to use all structures in both speaking and writing. Students give longer oral presentations to the class, take notes on college lectures, summarize articles orally, and participate in longer academic discussions.
Level 5 - College Prep:
In level 5, students apply their reading skills to college textbook chapters and a novel of their choice. In response to readings, students are asked to evaluate texts, paraphrase, summarize and synthesize ideas, and make connections between the texts and their own experiences. Students write several essays throughout the quarter. They also learn to use the library to find sources of information for a longer, argumentative essay. They learn to take notes from those sources, prepare a bibliography, and document their sources in their writing. Students give several speeches and participate in a variety of discussions and take notes from university-level lectures.
Skills Classes
In levels 1 and 2, students will take a skills class each quarter. In the skills class, students learn to integrate the skills from their other classes to improve overall listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
In levels 3-5, students will take a focus class each quarter. The focus class is a content-based class focusing on specific skills such as grammar, listening, pronunciation, writing and/or reading.
In addition to the regular curriculum, the ELC faculty members teach the following course:
- English 1191--Advanced Writing for International Students: This is a four-credit-hour course for undergraduate students who have already matriculated at the University of Denver but who still need some work on their academic writing skills.
