CSC to offer 3 new grad degreesNovember 14,2013CSC expanding
its grad programs
CASTLETON Castleton State College will add three graduate programs to its academic offerings.
Students will be able to pursue graduate degrees in music education, theater and education with a specialization in mathematics.
All three programs are accepting applications.
The education degree will be offered in the spring. It is a 36-credit, one-year program designed to bridge the gap between math and math education theory.
The masters degree in theater will be offered beginning with the summer session. The program will be unlike any other in Northern New England, a press release said, and will prepare students for professional theater work.
The masters degree in music education is scheduled to begin next fall. The program will emphasize real-world application with courses taught by experienced music educators over a 30-credit curriculum.
In addition to those programs, CSC also offers masters degrees in education: curriculum and instruction, special education (non-licensure), and accounting.

In theroy while they get rid your job they can redefine your job but to certain degree you need to starting talking to your union asap about it.......
Just found out that our school is to be merged with another school nearby - in about 4-5 years time
Both schools are to be closed and re-opened - with a capacity of 1500 - ours is currently 1200..
Don't like the sound of this as there is already an ICT Network Manager there..
Think I may have to start looking about elsewhere
In theroy while they get rid your job they can redefine your job but to certain degree you need to starting talking to your union asap about it.......
There is a 6 week consultation period now, but yeah plan to talk to the union rep tomorrow as soon as i can - though i think there will be a queue at his door!
Bad news, I know but they might be just as worried about this as you are - maybe it's you who'll end up with that one job?Originally Posted by Gatt
well we may all be in a similar boat soon. The governments latest thinking is a program BSF "building schools for the future". As part of the requirements for schools/LEAs to tap into the funding (several billion pounds I believe) is that school ICT support is provided via a managed service. They think that it is the only way to garentee quaility but from what I've seen it will just drag everyones flexibility and inavation down. 8O
As for your personal problem if the merger is in 4-5 years time the chances are they will need twice the ICT support they have at present anyway. Thinking back to 5 years ago here we had about 1/4 of the resorces we look after now and I'm sure that it will continue to expand.
On that notes might be worth talking to ict support at other school and having meeting...
Maybe ask what plans are in terms of ict equipment etc is for new school as point is if merge two schools ict will increase so in theory new place will need just as many staff to look after it.
so your job role may change and this si where start to need to multiskill if you want to keep current role then start managing talk to head about issues, equipment how this is working etc get noticed...
If role that would like to do suggest this to head say want to web development role then say so.
Starting talking and being noticed is the key...
See if you can establish if they are really going to merge the two schools or close one and move the kids. At least here in the NE there seem to be different 'rules' for determining how staff get treated in the two different scenarios.
When two schools were merged, all staff from both schools were 'invited' to apply for their job at the new school. Where more than one candidate existed there were interviews etc and the best candidate got the job.
By contrast, where one school was being closed & the students moved, staff at the school being closed were made redundant, assuming they stuck around long enough that is!
No guarantee that this is the case where you are of course.
Good luck.
Had our meeting on Tuesday. 2000 excess places in schools so 2 are to be merged and one closed completely. fortune
ately told we were one of the schools to be rebuilt possibly starting 2010. I agree these are worrying times for some. We were told there would be no forced redundancies, how they'll manage that I don't know, tho' some of the older staff have thought of applying for positions in the schools needing to close/merge with a view to being offered early retirement.
Have to agree with Russ, the term value added comes to mind.
At the same time as all this the council is running its job evaluation programme and we (the techies) got ours on Monday. It seems we are not required to handle sensitive data (so that's SIMS out the window), or plan ahead, or learn new skills, though it does involve a small amount of thinking. From what I gather the process is called a Question Trace, and they ask a "representative sample" of techies in the borough an opening question, then how you answer that governs which branch of questioning you're taken down.
@broc: They are closing both schools and re-opening as a new school with a capacity of 1500
Now Moorside has an approx capacity of 1200 - not sure what Swinton High's is but its prob about the same
So in effect - 1 school is getting closed.
Simply closing both schools means potentially making all staff redundant = very expensive. Don't be too surprised if they change their minds about the mechanism they use to achieve their goal once they look at the costs & when the local community interests kick in.
Wait until local councillors start to get flack from their voters then all sorts of political games get played too.
this a BSF thing?fortune
ately told we were one of the schools to be rebuilt possibly starting 2010.
Spoke to Union rep today - who advised not to worry about this just yet - as the "Consultation Period" could take up to a year - depending on how many parents complain and how the unions reacts, though he did say that the only people guarunteed jobs are the teachers!!
Yes it is. We (the techies) may well be out on our ears in a few years time, or tuped(?) though I don't think so. There is a teacher here who used to work in a secondary school where all the IT support was contracted out, his tales about that are our best ammunition with the head, who, to be fair, has said he'll fight to keep us. I judge him to be honest in this.Originally Posted by CyberNerd
As for the only jobs guaranteed being the teachers', all those just over 50 at our school have said they will apply for posts at the closing or merging schools in order to be offered early retirement (there'll be no compulsory redundancies - among teachers at least).
Companies tend to prefer secondment as it makes it easier to change workers roles, reduce pay or sack them - tupe protects workers rights more than secondment (said a unison person).Yes it is. We (the techies) may well be out on our ears in a few years time, or tuped(?) though I don't think so.
No matter how bad it sounds from a teachers/learners/support staff p.o.v this thing is going ahead. Private money sounds good to the government, and outsourcing ICT to big business is a major part of this strategy. It sucks, and I really don't like it, but TBH we all know its cheaper to run a large farm of centralised servers than for all of us to provide a tailored service to meet our local schools requirements.There is a teacher here who used to work in a secondary school where all the IT support was contracted out, his tales about that are our best ammunition with the head, who, to be fair, has said he'll fight to keep us. I judge him to be honest in this.
If the LEA hasn't actually decided about what to do with IT staff you'll need more info on their consultations. You should make sure your unison rep has searched for as much information as possible (consultation documents/ feesibility studies etc.)
Use the 'Freedom of Information Act' and where that fails the 'Information and Consultations Act'. IANAL but the law says even confidential documents can be requested (within 28days IIRC) to an employee representative providing the outcome of the documents could have an impact on the workforce. Check Unison have done this. It might help.

(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the designated reserve ratio established for the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). GAO noted that: (1) there is a minimum ratio of reserves to insured deposits of 1.25 percent or higher for BIF and SAIF; (2) the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may increase the designated ratio for any year to protect against future losses to either BIF or SAIF; (3) it did not analyze the adequacy of the designated reserve ratio, since there was no scientific method of determining the appropriate level of budgetary reserves; and (4) regulatory reforms should minimize the risk that losses will deplete the insurance funds' reserves if such reserves are maintained at the designated reserve ratio.

Foxfire (910) 295-5107
Foxfire Village: Population: 541
Type of government: Mayor and Council
Mayor: George Erickson
Town Clerk: Lisa Kivett
Address: 1 Town Hall Drive
Incorporated: 1977
The area now known as Foxfire was once referred to as "Piney Bottom". Native Americans once hunted on the sandy ridge that runs through it. In 1780, there was a skirmish between the Tories
and the Whigs. Early settlers made their living from the pine forest by selling turpentine and construction timbers. It was also an agricultural area with crops such as cotton, tobacco, corn and rye as well as vineyards and peach orchards. The community is named for the mysterious luminescence that sometimes appears on decaying plants and woods. It was developed into a resort and residential community centered on golf in the late 1960s by Rowland McKenzie.

• Name: The Bitter Alibi
• Owners: Matt Skularek and Jason Bowers
• Location: 825 Houston St., Chattanooga
• Opens: Thursday, July 3 at 4 p.m.
• Service: Tavern with sandwich menu. There will be eight craft beer options, with a select few on tap, and a selection of canned and bottled beers as well. Sandwich options will include Korean barbecue and flat bread options, among others. The site does not have a deep fryer or expansive kitchen, so Skudlarek and Bowers say food options will remain on the lighter, fresher side.
• Staff: Four employees
• How it got started: A few years ago, Jason Bowers and Matt Skudlarek met in the basement tavern called O'Heiney's Pub at the corner of Houston Street and ML King Boulevard. Skudlarek is an entrepreneur, owner and operator of Pasha Coffee and Tea in St. Elmo. Bowers is a graduate of Bryan College, and before The Bitter Alibi, was teaching elementary school. The two stuck up a friendship, but last year O'Heiney's closed its doors.
Having loved the tight-knit, neighborhood feel of O'Heiney's, Skudlarek and Bowers talked about revamping the site. While sitting at Hair of the Dog Pub one evening, they reached out to the landlord who owns the space previously occupied by O'Heiney's.They asked about renting it. The landlord said yes. And The Bitter Alibi was born.
• Why Chattanooga: Skudlarek is a Chattanooga native and already operates a successful coffee shop here. Bowers is from West Virginia but decided to stay here after becoming familiar with the area during college.
• What is unique? The Bitter Alibi is all about atmosphere, say Skudlarek and Bowers. They fell in love with its familial personality, accented by low ceilings, sliding bathroom doors and the fact you don't access the bar from the front, rather from a side door straight into the basement.

Amaro�s mandate for 2015 Phillies: Instant Makeover
By DENNIS DEITCH firstname.lastname@example.com
Changes will come after another losing season for Phillies
PHILADELPHIA � General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. sat in the manager�s office with Ryne Sandberg after the Phillies� 2014-ending 2-1 loss to the Braves, their second straight season with 89 losses, another $180 million spent foolishly.
Jack McCaffery: Phils better get used to last place
By JACK McCAFFERY PHILADELPHIA � Cole Hamels walked off the Citizens Bank Park mound Sunday, his back turned to two outfield displays. One was the drooping, red 2008 World Series championship flag.
Papelbon starts saving his reputation, picks up save as Phils top Braves
PHILADELPHIA � Ryne Sandberg said all along that Jonathan Papelbon was the Phillies� closer and that if the team were in a situation during the final weekend where a closing situation arose, Jonathan Papelbon would pitch in the ninth inning.
Burnett can�t hook one more win as Phillies fall to Braves
PHILADELPHIA � A.J. Burnett fulfilled the entirety of his 2014 contract. In doing so he lost more games than any Phillies pitcher since Steve Carlton followed his 27-win dream season in 1972 with a 20-loss thud in 1973.
Phillies blow lead and lose to Marlins
MIAMI � David Buchanan will list his rookie season in the win column, even though the Philadelphia Phillies blew a lead in his final start.
Scouting director Wolever fired by Phillies
PHILADELPHIA � The Phillies started a front-office purge Friday with a move that wasn�t much of a surprise, as assistant general manager in charge of amateur scouting Marti Wolever was fired by the organization.

MIAMI � This time when the game ended, the only gesture from Jonathan Papelbon was a fist pump.
A�s Lester holds Phillies to 5 hits in 7 innings in victory

Crawford showed polish in minors
PHILADELPHIA � J.P. Crawford showed up at Citizens Bank Park Friday in a crisp, satin shirt with pearl buttons, an eye-catching watch on his wrist and patent-leather shoes shined so well you could check your reflection in them.
Asche�s blast wins it in the 10th for Phillies
PHILADELPHIA � Cody Asche had faced a left-handed reliever in the bottom of the eighth Friday night. It didn�t go well � a three-pitch strikeout against Mike Dunn.
Utley is no longer an every-day player
Chase Utley�s rapid decline in 2014 is an alarming reminder that old age can�t be ignored or reasoned with.

PHILADELPHIA � The Phillies announced the recipients of the Paul Owens Awards for 2014, given to the best performances by a pitching and position-player prospect in the minors.
McCaffery: If Sandberg is staying, players must change

Rollins� hamstring injury called mild
PHILADELPHIA � One day after Jimmy Rollins intimated that a hamstring strain would likely keep him out for perhaps 10 days or more, Phils manager Ryne Sandberg said Rollins� injury isn�t all that bad, after all.
Phils lose Rollins, game to Pirates
PHILADELPHIA � Little by little, month by month, wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity, the Phillies had let a season slip away. Still, there would be September. Still, there would be a chance at one final blast of satisfaction.
Jeter lovefest juuuusssttt a bit premature
There�s no denying the Derek Jeter is a great baseball player, and five years from now, there will be little pushback when he is voted into the Hall of Fame.
Phillies Notebook: Revere not worried about batting title chase
PHILADELPHIA � Deep in a different kind of late-season race, the Phillies returned to Citizens Bank Park Monday.
Buchanan�s struggles help Braves avoid sweep at hands of Phillies
ATLANTA � The Phillies finally gave up some runs to the Braves. David Buchanan wasn�t exactly thrilled that it came at his expense, during his homecoming.
Franco has solid debut as Phillies deliver another game
ATLANTA -� Maikel Franco didn�t make a huge splash in his big-league debut. The 22-year-old third baseman, batting seventh for the Phillies in their 4-0 win over the Braves at Turner Field, had some anxious swings as he grounded out softly in each of his first three plate appearances.
Gillick echoes Phillies sentiment of standing pat
ATLANTA � Pat Gillick was not expecting to be in this position, serving as the interim president of the Phillies. But the health issues David Montgomery has encountered have put the man who put the finishing touches on the construction of the Phillies� World Series championship team in 2008 back to work on more than the amateur scouting he has done as a senior adviser the past five years.
Mets make sure Phillies stay in NL East cellar
NEW YORK � Since the end of May, the Phillies have been searching for an escape route from last place in the National League East. Presented with one over the weekend, they stumbled, fell and had that door slammed on them, too.

NEW YORK � Grady Sizemore had done a lot of good things for the Phillies since they scooped him up when he was released by the Red Sox in June.

PHILADELPHIA � Ryan Howard wanted to be in another place, and Kyle Kendrick rolled his eyes, and David Buchanan wondered, and Domonic Brown complained and Tuesday, Cole Hamels strolled off the mound before the manager had a formal chance to make a pitching change.
Healed-up Rollins swinging away as of late
PHILADELPHIA � Since the weekend, Jimmy Rollins has been swinging like a different guy than the one who had been scuffling at the plate for much of August.
Bats bail out Kendrick as Phillies sweep Nationals
PHILADELPHIA � The first-inning yips that have invaded Kyle Kendrick�s soul during this contract year from hell returned Wednesday night, but just as they were about to leave him defeated and demoralized for yet another night, it was the Phillies who decided to make a return.
Phillies win again, but Amaro having tough time finding out how season went wrong
PHILADELPHIA � Ruben Amaro Jr. is assessing things. Things like trades that didn�t happen in late July and probably won�t happen in late August. Things like a left fielder whose quality of play and demeanor continue to fall through the floor.
Phillies� Adams inspired by Little Leaguers
PHILADELPHIA � Mike Adams has had 11 surgeries. He also has made in excess of $30 million as a big-league reliever, including $12 million during the last two seasons with the Phillies.
Complaints from Brown, Buchanan earn them chats with Sandberg
PHILADELPHIA � Ryne Sandberg not only has to deal with managing a last-place team with veterans who are well past their prime and a giant void when it comes to young talent, but apparently he has to call wild underachieving outfielders and obstinate rookie pitchers into his office to discuss their comments from the night before.
Punch Shots: MLB�s out call on Rose should stand
Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt thinks it�s time for Major League Baseball to forgive Pete Rose and welcome the all-time hit king back with open arms, making Rose eligible for the Hall of Fame.

Creating Facebook ads for your CrossFit affiliate: Step by Step
There are a few per-requisites to running a successful facebook advertising campaign. You will need a facebook account, a gym facebook fanpage, a website with some form of lead capture (you can use an autoresponder or box management software like RhinoFit for this), a credit card or paypal account, and an understanding of your clients and your numbers like detailed in part 1 of this article.
STEP 1: Sign into Facebook and click on "Create ads" on the left hand side.
This is under the PAGES sub heading in the left hand navigation column, just above the GROUPS sub heading.
STEP 2: Select the kind of ad you want to run
Here is where you will decide what your ad will be doing. It is cheaper adn easier to get people to do things inside facebook (ie liking your page or commenting on a post, or even joining an event) than it is to get them to go outside of facebook and do something (ie the holy grail of marketing – getting them to opt into your list and give you their contact info.) For the purposes of this tutorial I will show you how to set them up to go to your website and sign up for your newsletter. So we will select "Website Conversions". Once you click that you will see the screen like it is in image 2 here.
STEP 3: Set up the website and conversion pixel
Here you will put in your URL and click continue. The URL in this case will be the web address of the page that has the free trial sign up form on it. The conversion pixel you will create will allow you to determine if people have actually signed up for your free trial after clicking the link. If you have never created a tracking pixel before you will have to click on the plus sign beside where it shows the conversion pixel. Doing that will bring up a new tab that will take you through creating this pixel. Those screens look like these two greyed out images. You will have to cut and paste the green code into the HTML code of the page where your prospects will be directed to once they have successfully completed their registration for your free trial. After you have created and embeded this pixel you can go back to the original tab where you were creating the ad and select it. From there you will simply click "Continue"
STEP 4: Choose an image for your CrossFit boxes ad
It's important to use an image that is representative of your box, non-intimidating, but inspiring for your ad. Brighter images and those which feature smiling faces tend to get better click through. Bright colors also do very well. Corporate logos really seem to struggle here. The less composed and more "real" you can make the image the more it will likely be clicked.
STEP 5: Create your Ad
Here you create the actual text of the ad you will send out. Think about what benefits you can provide to your target audience. Show them why it would help THEM to come and do a free trial at your CrossFit affiliate. Finish with a call to action – if you can't fit it in the ad, make sure it is obvious on the page you send them to.
For now you can ignore the "advanced options"
STEP 6: Target your audience
This is the single most important thing you can do with Facebook that no other pay per click advertiser can match. Here you will target your ideal customer down to the finest details. This effectively allows you to prequalify people before you even advertise to them.
In this example I have targeted down to my city, and used the checkbox for cities within 10 miles. Depending on how much competition you have in your area and how far people are typically willing to travel to go to a CrossFit affiliate you could leave this unchecked, or change the distance.
Next I'm going to target people who share the interests of my ideal client. If you don't know for sure, CrossFit is a safe bet to start. For this demo I chose CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting.
STEP 7: Pick your connections and exclusions
This is really part of step 6 but it can be so powerful I wanted to bring more attention to it. You can target people who know people who already like your CrossFit affiliates fanpage or are friends of your facebook friends etc. You can also exclude people who already like your page, since they probably would sign up for your offer without you having to pay to get it in front of them.
STEP 8: Name your campaign and set your budget and terms
Here you will decide the overall amount you are willing to spend on the campaign per day or in total, and how long and when the campaign will run. You want to be careful about how you budget here. If you budget too low you won't get enough traffic to be able to tell how well your ad is or is not doing. If you put to high a budget you can blow a ton of cash with little to show for it.
STEP 9: Set your bid per conversion
This will be more than what you would bid per click since in this case you are guaranteed a conversion. In our theoretical instance we described in part 1 we could afford up to $3.50 per click or $35 per conversion. I like to bid at around 33% of my max amount to begin. You will have to experiment a bit to see how many conversions you get – if you're getting a ton you might be able to drop the price lower, if you aren't getting any you'll have to move your bid up.
STEP 10: Place the order
This is the moment of truth =) click on place order (the green button at the bottom left) and you should see your ads appearing shortly!
That's it you've got it.
Remember if you have more questions about how to grow your CrossFit affiliate I am here to help – send me an email, give me a call or look me up on Facebook =)
Also don't forget you can automate your CrossFit affiliate with Rhino and set your website up to capture leads and schedule trials as you worry about training your clients!

Haiti's pain, Ida Wells- Barnett (1862- 1931) reads the news!
Haiti's pain is just still unbelievable! I am seeing campaigns for people are still short of food, water and medicines! This is no way to be at this time in history! Please let us all do all that we can for Haiti!
And regarding the story of the joy of a black woman who finally got back her parents house in a case that begun in 1960, I was just wondering if this is the speed we really want for ending some negative traits.. denying justice on the basis of color!?
I was just thinking that Ida Well-Barnett who preceded Rosa Parks is not happy reading such news today, so I wrote her a note and a few quotes to inspire myself, us and her.. who knows, may be she continues struggling for justice!
Marian Wright Edelman
Whoever said anybody has a right to give up?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
The Trumpet of Conscience
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
Maya Angelou
Dear Ida Wells- Barnett
Some people I was talking to were surprised to hear about you! I think we did not make enough of your courage!
I write regardless of the years that have passed since you were born and died. Your dates are 1862- 1931. You are American. You made change happen because you preceded Rosa Parks in refusing to be mistreated in May 1844 when you were asked to give up your train seat in what they called the white section. You were removed by force and sued and you won the circuit court, but the judgement was reversed by the Tennessee Supreme Court! You used your pen to fight racism and you wrote, "I felt that one had better die fighting injustice… than die like an animal in a trap!"
Ida, the world honors you to this very day. I congratulate you! It is a great thing we have advanced so much in communication! I can Google your name and find out a lot of things, almost feel your heart and see your mind. It is almost possible to live through centuries with reading and internet. But I have to tell you a sad thing and I do not know how this will inspire us but it will make us think! We still have racial, tribal (this word and negative ethnicity bother me but I have no other) tensions. We have problems being just- I really like your struggle for it was about justice for all and not just color- to people and we base it on color or language differences! People do not see black in white still … or white in black. Humans are very careful about whether is black or white or if one has a mixture. Differences are welcome if they are preferred for beauty and so on... but when they are used for injustice.. you cannot be happy. And just to imagine that before you other people fought against slavery (18th Century)! It is getting real boring!
I wanted to tell you about the last story I read in this regard! You will not like our headlines even today and the realities are subtler than headlines. You see, the other day we read about Sallie Sanders who got keys 40 years later for a house unjustly taken from her. Her parents were not there to enjoy this. They were dead already. How sad! We are supposed to be happy with the win.. but why is this still an issue?
Woman Gets House Keys 40 Years Later
Judge: Hamtramck Violated Rights Of Blacks In City
POSTED: Monday, January 18, 2010
UPDATED: 7:26 pm January 18, 2010
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. -- Part of a discrimination case that started in the 1960s was settled Monday when a woman was given the keys to a new home in Hamtramck.
"It was justice denied," said 6th Circuit U.S. Appeals Court Judge Damon Keith.
"I call it Black removal," said Keith. "They would go into black neighbourhoods, completely wipe it out and then didn't try to relocate them."
Just imagine Ida! But I must keep my focus on justice! And struggle for it! So, I keep reading about courage! Below and above are some quotes I liked.
Philo Ikonya
Reading some books!
Dearest sister,
I started reading how to become women of influence in December 2009, and I am yet to finish the book! I do not really know how many times I have read it. The works of past heroes keep us going on and do you know what I want to do more than I am doing now.
One thing is certain, when these women hear and read what younger ones are doing today, sure they will be smiling in the graves and saying thumbs up!
You are doing so well sister!

In memory of Ida
Dear Philo,
So lovely to hear from you my dear! Each time you post in your journal, each time I read your words - I am moved and I am smiling. Because you too use your pen to fight racism, to fight gender discrimination, to fight violence and corruption - and you dear Philo do it in a poetic and beautiful way that moves beyond the words and beyond the movement. You are a true artist!
Thank you for this - for sharing your letter and for reminding us of Ida's courageous actions that have paved the way for justice and for other women, like Rosa Parks, like Rigoberta Menchu, or Jyotiba Phule, Sophie Ogutu, Susan B. Anthony, Shirin Ebadi, Aung San Suu Kyi and Philo Ikonya - to continue lighting the flame of justice.

|Return/Replacement policy:
"I join those who find a certificate not accepted at restaruant ans promised. They offer"100% customer satisfaction", but do not answer phones and only offer exchanges when a refund is demanded."
"I would never trust restaurant.com again. I tried two restaurants on here, Beijing and Tokyo and Alan's of Boscawen restaurant. Both restaurants did not honor this restaurant.com certificate!! Buyer beware!"
"We are unable to use the four certificates that we have. The restaurant claims that this company will not reimburse them. I'm waiting for an email response from Restaurant.com. They are unreachable by phone - refer caller to other sites and email only. arrghh."
"AVOID Restaurant.com!!! There ads and pricing are completely misleading. What appears to be $25 worth of food for $10 looks good, right? But then that $25 only covers half the total. So it ends up at $35 spent for $50 food. Plus you have to spend $50 mininum! Plus they automatically add 18% gratuity before discount! And they refuse to give refunds! Much better deals out there!"
"What a scam, I purchased to certificates and go to the restaurant to use them and they say they were never authorized to be a part of this coupon deal!! SCAM"
"Restaurant.com has been selling gift certificates to my restaurant in Denver without permission. They used marketing information to set up an account without ever contacting me. From other complaints with the Illinois BBB, this is apparently par for the course. Please do not purchase gift certificates from this company--their unethical business practices hurt small business owners."
"Its pretty fraudulent to knowingly sell certificates for a business no longer open.
Original purchase was the beginning of this year. The restaurant the certificates were purchased for went out of business. I wrote and told them this, they refunded credits to my account to choose other places. They marked that original restaurant as out of stock. I choose another place, but have not tried to use the certificate yet., though selection seems to be more limited.
The thing is, A couple weeks later, I notice the restaurant that I told them was out of business is advertized again for sale. I called and told them that I knew for certain the business was shut down. She took all the info and said it would be taken care of.
Now weeks a later, AGAIN they re listed the restaurant. I have spoken with one of the owner since, and he has confirmed they have no plans of reopening. What a scam from restaurant.com. Its only a few dollars per certificate, They must make a lot of money from people just giving up and cutting the loss. (from what I understand they keep the initial certificate cost, the restaurants get nothing but the money you spend when you go) "
"When you go to a restaurant. It say's sold out so you can't use your e gift card. But if you logout and then go back it says the restaurant has certificates available. If you select them it allows you to go and purchase if you use a credit card. Very deceptive practice. Restaurant.com So you get more money out of you by forcing you to use a credit card for purchase right after you have just purchased a e gift card which they say can be used to purchase restaurant certificates. So not all restaurants can use the e gift card. No where on the site does it say e gift cards are limited to select restaurants. Nor does it say a percentage of the certificates can be purchased using the e gift card. You must use a credit card to purchase the deal because e gift cards are at their limit. This is a scam. "
"Lately I have noticed that popular restaurants are always out of stock on $25.00 certs during promotion code periods. This is is great change from when I started purchasing from them 3+ years ago. I chatted with their customer service about this and only received a bunch of pre-scripted answers. No assistance, no remedies."
"I have purchased restaurant.com certificates for the past 3 years and have generally been happy with them. I've had some problems because I didn't read the restaurant's requirements, but that was my fault.
However, as of March 2014, I now notice that the restaurant list is dwindling. Some of the restaurants that were on there before are now gone, including some that I had certificates for. In Northern NJ, the list is shrinking. I guess is that the kind of bad management which is showing up in the reviews above is affecting the restaurants as well and they are leaving the program. So, DON'T buy alot of these - my guess is that I'll be left holding the bag with a company that's driving itself out of business!"
"I received a gift card for $25 from one of my vendors. I went to use it and found the perfect restaurant. I could get a $25 certificate for $10!! Woo hoo...I can get two of them with my $25 gift card, right? Wellll....no. I went to use it at checkout and there was no place to key in the code. So I went to the redeem tab and keyed in the code and it was accepted. I went back to the restaurant and $25 certificate was no longer $10 but was $25. I figured I am using a gift card so no problem. But wait....it now says they are out of stock for this restaurant. What? I logged out and back in, found my restaurant, certificates show available for $10. Went to redeem tab and keyed my code...restaurant certificates out of stock. I'm confused. So I call them and here is what I'm told. "Certificates are purchased and SPLIT between those for purchase with a credit card and those for redemption with a gift card." I said "Well, someone had to have purchased this gift card so what is the difference? Can't you let me redeem on with my gift card?" to which I was told "sorry, can't do that." I said "are you kidding me? Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds?" To which she said "No." Wow. Just...Wow. People, don't buy restaurant.com gift cards for others. Whoever you give them to will end up hating you. "
"Scam! First off, I bought 'gift certificates' and was charged too much for too little. They did not apply my promo. Then, I called 'customer service', and the guy got rude with me for being ripped off! He finally put some of the money they had stolen from me back in my pocket. So then my 'gift certificate' arrives, 20$ that were split into 5$ increments at the restaurant. Well that's when I find out I can only use them 5$ at a time, ONE PER MONTH! I have been ripped off by restaurants.com I basically was not given gift certificates, it's coupons."

"I have used Restaurant.com since 2006. I have used over 150 certificates and have had success with all but a few. As long as I am upfront with having a certificate and understand my minimum purchase requirement, I have had little issue. I tip on the whole amount and treat the certificate as a gift card while being polite through the process. Restaurants do drop out and is always best to contact the restaurant before heading out to assure they will honor the certificate. I have a few instances where the restaurant won't take the certificate upon arrival and a phone call would of saved the trip. The only criticism I do have is the new phone app is not accepted by every restaurant and this is frustrating since restaurant.com promotes the app. Again, a phone call to the restaurant would have resolved this. One last note, Restaurant.com is more apt to issue a credit than a refund. Just be prepared to get credit back to use towards another restaurant if you aren't able to use the first one. The ease of exchanging certificates is even easier now that it is online. I will get certificates for places I travel to knowing that if I don't use them, I can exchange for a restaurant local to me."
"DO NOT PURCHASE SPECIAL DEALS!! I have been a member of restaurant.com since 2007. We purchased 2 broadway tickets from a "deal" which came with a $50 restaurant.com e-gift card. We paid $116 for each deal. When we received the tickets, the face value read $99. The e-gift cards cannot be used for any special deals(i.e $4 for a $25 certificate). A $50 gift card can only buy a certificate for $50! If I purchased a $50 deal as I usually do, I could pay as little as $8. That would make the value of the deal, if I purchased my ticket directly from the theater, $107. I got cheated out of $9 per ticket deal. This is no discount. "

Is "I can't handle a relationship right now" just a line?
I was seeing this guy at the end of last school year for about six weeks, when summer came we decided to just wait the summer and see where we were when we came back. He told me I could see other people if I wanted. He was seeing another girl for about 3 weeks but after that ended in mid July he's been talking to me online a lot. He'll bring up stuff we did together before and he'll initiate the conversation. When I came back to school, He still calls me Tiffy online and in text sometimes Miss Tiffany and smiles and stuff when he sees me. when I asked him if I still had a chance, he told me that "i don't think I can handle any sort of relationship right now. I can barely hold some of my friendships together at the moment. I think friendship is the best thing for us right now tiffy. I told him I was very sad because he made me really happy, but that if he ever needed a date to an event or just wanted a movie cuddle to call me. He said we could arrange that sometime. I know I can see other people if the option arrives and we're still smile when we see each other. I guess I just want to know if he really means " he can't handle a relationship" or if he's just using that as a line to not date me.
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 2
I can see how you feel, but remember that putting yourself in a position where there's physical contact involved you're opening yourself up for more pain. I know how it seems like a good idea, and it'll probably make you feel pretty good to be back with him again; but remember, if he's not interested in a relationship the cuddling really isn't going to help out either of you. In the end, I'd play it safe, if he's open for a relationship and you both feel as though it's manageable then by all means, enjoy yourselves responsibly. However, if it doesn't seem like there's any hope, then why open up old wounds?

New York rapper A$AP Rocky was reportedly arrested last night (July 19) in the Big Apple after assaulting two photographers.
According to reports, the incident started after a verbal dispute caught the attention of a couple onlookers.
According to law enforcement sources … A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, had gotten into a verbal dispute with someone in downtown Manhattan, when 2 civilians started snapping photos of the incident. We're told A$AP and a friend quickly turned their attention to the amateur photogs … and a full-fledged fight erupted. Our sources say the two victims suffered cuts and bruises with one requiring treatment at a hospital. (TMZ)
He has reportedly been slapped with an attempted robbery charge.
We're told responding officers arrested AR … and he's expected to be booked for attempted robbery. It's unclear, at this point, what he's accused of trying to pilfer. Rocky is a native New Yorker and member of the hip hop group A$AP Mob. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the BET Awards this year. (TMZ)
In March, Rocky found himself in another physical situation after a South By Southwest music festival incident.
A brawl broke out between Harlem rapper ASAP Rocky and his crew against a drunken crowd at a Vice party around 3:30AM Sunday morning, ending the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas, with a small eruption of violence for the second year in a row. The last of perhaps one too many A$AP Rocky gigs began with their usual antagonistic, punk rock-styled antics, including slam-dancing, stage-diving, crowd-surfing and spitting, during a late-night concert in a downtown warehouse venue. But all that intensity finally took a turn for the worst, as it did in 2011 when irate fans denied entry to a SXSW reunion concert by Toronto hard rock duo DFA1979 broke out into a riot. (Spinner)
Recently, the Harlem, New York emcee downplayed his tough guy image.
"The biggest misconception is that I'm a gangster," Rocky said in an interview. "I'm not. At all. I don't want people thinking [I am]. Honestly. I really am [a nice guy]. I'm a good, down to earth dude." (This Is 50)

Two men arrested on felony drug charges; found with 4,600 hydrocodone pills
Jason Milligan Dustin Garcia
By Jennifer Fike
Staff Writer
Two men were charged with felony offenses for possession of controlled substances after a routine traffic stop turned into a drug bust April 3.
At 3:50 a.m. April 3, Officer Doyle Flatt uncovered bottles containing 4,600 hydrocodone pills in the suspects' vehicle and a bottle of promethazine with codeine.
According to police reports, Flatt first grew suspicious of the men driving a 2006 Kia Optima early Friday morning, when they were seen slowly weaving through the closed business district along Princeton Drive. Running the registration of the vehicle, Flatt discovered the car was registered in Balch Springs, a community southeast of Dallas.
When Flatt approached the vehicle in his patrol car, he said the Optima's occupants began driving erratically, so he pulled them over. During the traffic stop, Flatt said he noticed the individuals in the car seemed nervous.
When asked about their reasons for being in Princeton at the early hour, 26-year-old Jason Milligan of Crandall, who was driving the Optima, and 26-year-old Dustin Garcia of Scurry said they were travelling from Dallas to McKinney.
While running a records check from his patrol car, Flatt said he saw Garcia appear to hide something under the car's seats.
Based on the suspicious behavior and concerned there could possibly be a weapon in the vehicle, Flatt requested to search the car. The occupants consented.
During the search, Flatt discovered two pairs of gloves and muddy shoes, two black shirts and black hooded sweatshirts. Upon opening the trunk, he found the 18 bottles of hydrocodone and the bottle of promethazine with codeine, all of which appeared to be in their original pharmacy canisters.
When neither occupant could provide a prescription or legitimate reason for possessing the drugs, both men were arrested. They were booked into the Collin County jail April 3 on two felony charges each, for possession of a controlled substance.
"We are in the process of discovering the street value of these drugs as well as determining their rightful owner," Princeton Police Chief Jeff Barnett said. "North Texas has been plagued with pharmacy burglaries during the last year, and we are confident that these will be linked to one of those burglaries."
Police officials said the confiscated drugs have been identified as coming from a Pilot Point pharmacy that was robbed the same night.
"Through assistance from the manufacture and the distribution center of the controlled substances, we were able to locate the final destination of the pills. The Pilot Point Police Department has been notified, and we are cooperating with their efforts to solve the burglary that occurred in their jurisdiction," Barnett said.
Milligan and Garcia were released from jail April 6 on $5,000 bond each. Garcia was also cleared of a pending traffic ticket based on his time served.
"It was great police work by our nightshift police officer," Barnett said, "Our officer was alert to a suspicious vehicle, [and his actions] possibly captured two drug dealers and may have protected our own community pharmacy."

FORT WAYNE – IPFW senior Frank Gaines will return from a one-game suspension when the Mastodons (4-4) face Miami of Ohio (3-2) at 7 tonight at Memorial Coliseum, according to IPFW coach Tony Jasick.
Gaines, the 6-foot-4 guard who leads IPFW with a 20.7 scoring average, did not play in the Mastodons' 54-49 loss at Navy on Wednesday.
It was a one-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the program, Jasick said.
At this point we're locked and loaded and ready to go (tonight). And I'm looking forward to him as well as the rest of our team playing well against Miami.
Jasick did not elaborate on the cause of the suspension.
No issues whatsoever; great kid, Jasick said.
As you go through the maturing process, you learn from every situation. I think he's a great kid, and I'm excited to see what kind of year he can finish with.
Jasick said that the team missed Gaines against Navy.
You could say that, but at the end of the day, we didn't start the game the right way and dug a hole and fought like crazy to get ourselves back in the game, he said. We didn't get critical defensive stops when we needed to.

Tell Rover to move over!
Scout's Convertible Seat Saver protects your back sets from muddy pets and messy kids and gives tidier passengers an unsullied place to sit. Just buckle it to front and backseat headrests or baby seat latches to create a water and stain-resistant shield in the backseat. When a human wants to occupy the space, just unzip the center zipper, roll up one side of the Seat Saver, and secure it behind the driver's seat. (There's also a handy shorter zipper for stashing groceries in the back seat.) Rugged, water-resistant 600-denier polyester with 300-denier polyester quilted backing to keep your critters comfortable.

Best Uses
The only small detail I don't like is the seat saver is a little narrow for a full sized four door Tundra. The dog can get under it and show up where I don't want him. But I would not have my dog in the truck with out this saver.
Best Uses
The product keeps the backseat clean and scratch-free but the material is kind of slippery to the dog. And there aren't any holes for seat belts which means it needs to come out whenever I take the grandchildren in my car.
Best Uses
Need to find some way to keep the zipper from opening on its own. Could be a little wider (little narrow for my suburban rear seat)
Seems like it should keep seats clean, where it fits.
Best Uses
Works well. My puppy needs to grow a bit to get better use of the product. Overall very pleased with the product.
Best Uses
Love this cover for my truck seat. Like the zipper parts to get to floor board and roll up for passenger.
Just needs a seat belt slot for my doggies seat belt harness.... otherwise great product.
Best Uses
The seatsaver has straps that fit over the headrest of the front seats and the back seat. This keeps, dirty, muddy and/or wet paws - or people - off seat upholstry and floors. The two zippers give versatility for placing items on the floor or having half of backseat uncovered. Will keep the interior of my SUV looking new for MUCH longer!!

Oh my god, what a load of tosh........you could spy into your next door neighbours bedroom.....I could do that with a £50 ladder with full eye resolution, you dont need a 720p £250 AR Drone to do it, why not legislate ladders as they are more of a threat to privacy than a drone. You dont need a drone to do those things now so why say you need to clamp down on drones before they start doing that. Im not saying someone has not done it already but the Tech has been out for a Long time now (as have ladders). The CAA already have rules and guide lines for the hobby so let them deal with it. Again its the media making a sensation out of scaring people and the sad thing is general population will believe the worst can happen as a result.
I would take this seriously if they made valid comments about safety as to me it is quite dangerous.....but no....next report will be how terrorists are planning air attacks on goverment building using drones. The two guys with their business said the only real useful facts about 500meters distance (LOS) and 50meters from buildings and not near cars etc...
Ok rant over, I would like to see the point from the other side but I am too biased lol
As for the 500 meters, that might be true at the moment but that's because many people are copying and relatively few are innovating. If I control my drone via a mobile phone (or give it a GPS, barometric sensors etc and autonomous programming), then I'm not going to be restricted to 500 meters (I will probably run into power/battery and other issues but so what). I think the right people should be thinking about the 'misuse' of these things - no need to wait until someone actually uses one to deliver 1 kg of C4 to the door of No10.

Thats great to hear @FragglePete I had to send hours hovering over the buy button because there was not just a simple list of parts that I know I needed. Plenty of simple plans but they assume you already know things like the right Kv motor for the props/frame you are using etc and alot are joined to main sellers websites so you are sent to an expensive version of the parts I have listed.
I have finaly convinced my friend to make one so we spent the other night buying the parts to make a Hexacopter, its the same list as I made but we brought 6xmotors and 6xEsc and a different frame, its that easy with this setup.
Please let me know how you get on or need any more info......Good Luck
