Still looking to move Ratliff, Robinson, Shareef, picks and points.
Let me know if you have something in mind.
If anyone wants to put their team over the edge, Webber can be had. #1 scorer in regular season 2001 #2 scorer this year. Must include 03 1st, young star(s), and/or expirings. He instantly makes you a playoff team or would turn any playoff team into a contender.
I have Finley up for offers. Looking for a shooter to replace him.

"I want ONLY 9 eyebrows in the starting lineup for the Hornets next year." I typed this before the draft lottery
Everyone outside of Vince on the block, including Gary Payton and Vin Baker.
packaging Ratliff with 2002 Sonics first for a good 2002 or 2003 first.
Will listen to Ray Allen offers

Saperstein: We must promote actions that will create a sustainable peace and eliminate the circumstances that allow such human rights abuses to occur. We call for prayer and vigilance, and most of all we call for action to achieve a world where all people share in the joys of humanity.
Contact: Alexis Rice or Avital Weinberg 202.387.2800
Washington, December 10, 2004 – In honor of International Human Rights Day, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
As people of conscience around the world observe International Human Rights Day, we are reminded that our struggle for the comprehensive human rights of all peoples is far from over. Our nation and our world have made great strides over the decades. But as we mark this day we remember the millions in Darfur murdered or displaced by the genocidal activity facilitated by the Sudanese government. We think of the child soldiers – as young as eight years old – around the world exploited and forced to carry weapons. We recall those who suffer abuses at the hands of corporations who impose sweatshop labor conditions on honest workers desperate for an income. We wish strength for those who face inhumane torture for exercising their fundamental political and religious rights at the hands of military and police. We call to mind the millions of women who become victims of sex trafficking. We remember the victims of terrorism whose lives were ended, bodies maimed, daily existence threatened by fear. And we stand with all those who suffer from lack of access to education, health, and safe water, or face discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views.
According to Jewish tradition, in every generation, we are commanded to view ourselves as if each of us was personally brought forth out of Egypt. Having ourselves been victims of persecution over the centuries, Jews know what happens when otherwise good people stand silently by in the face of discrimination and oppression.
This year, we speak out as the UN members conclude a meeting in Nairobi to discuss the dreadful impact of landmines on hundreds of thousands of civilians around the globe, as communities across the nation mark a day of consciousness on Darfur, and as we remember the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal disaster in India, which has left a community with long-lasting degradation of environment and health.
We must continue to strive for a more just world, conscious of the human dignity of all persons. We must promote actions that will create a sustainable peace and eliminate the circumstances that allow such human rights abuses to occur. We call for prayer and vigilance, and most of all we call for action to achieve a world where all people share in the joys of humanity.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

South Carolina Business One-Stop (SCBOS) Continues to Grow its Services and Serve as a Comprehensive Tool for New Businesses in South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. – The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has officially launched four online environmental permit applications for new business owners as part of the agency's participation in South Carolina Business One-Stop (SCBOS), a comprehensive resource that allows business owners to register for necessary licenses and permits in South Carolina.
Applications for well drilling, asbestos renovation and demolition, and underground storage tank installation permits now can be readily accessed from the site. Additional on-line environmental permitting functions are being planned.
"We have supported SCBOS since its May kickoff and are pleased to be an active participant with our initial on-line permit functions," said DHEC Commissioner C. Earl Hunter. "Electronic handling of applications offers a more efficient use of staff resources for all state agencies and allows us to expedite the permit application process for new businesses and their customers."
With the addition of the DHEC permitting functions, South Carolina Business One-Stop (SCBOS) continues to reduce the need for business owners to go to several different places for necessary startup registrations, licenses and permits.
"SCBOS is a shining example of the great things that can be achieved when agencies collaborate," said S.C. Secretary of State Mark Hammond. "Now business owners can obtain DHEC permits much faster, which helps further accomplish our goal of streamlining government and making it user-friendly for the customer."
SCBOS is a collaborative Web site designed to reduce the logistical scrambling it sometimes takes for entrepreneurs to start a business and remain in compliance with state law. The state departments of Revenue, Commerce, Labor, Secretary of State's Office, Budget and Control Board and Employment Security Commission, in conjunction with DHEC and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and a number of public and private organizations, launched SCBOS for businesses to obtain various state licenses, registrations and permits.
The site currently features information on 21 business types ranging from amusement businesses to retail stores. The site also directs users to contact information for an array of professional licenses required to operate in South Carolina.
In addition to the above entities, the SCBOS collaborative includes the state Department of Insurance, the state Treasurer's Office, the Municipal Association of South Carolina, the Association of Counties, the University of South Carolina Small Business Development Center, SCANA Corp., the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and a long list of business organizations and companies.
"SCBOS has proven to be a truly progressive idea," said SCESC Executive Director Roosevelt Halley. "Not only does it reduce paperwork, cut red tape, and save time, it's also adaptable to change and improvements. Putting these DHEC permits on-line shows just how committed all of the participating agencies are in making sure SCBOS works."
In addition to enhanced startup ease for business owners, SCBOS offers businesses and government increased productivity and increased state revenues.
"The addition of the DHEC permits to SCBOS exemplifies our ongoing efforts to streamline access to government information and save time for South Carolina business owners needing to register or obtain licenses and permits," said Burnet R. Maybank III, director of the S.C. Department of Revenue. "In the coming months, we will continue to add services to SCBOS so that we can help ensure businesses in our state are better able to access the tools and information necessary to help them grow and prosper."
About South Carolina Business One-Stop (SCBOS)
SCBOS, a collaboration of several state and federal agencies and private entities that are committed to ensuring more simplicity in opening a business, represents a sincere desire to provide an environment that helps business to grow and prosper in South Carolina. A one-stop location for business owners, SCBOS is an award-winning website that is designed to reduce the typical amount of time and paperwork necessary to start a new business in the state. SCBOS is truly a comprehensive resource for South Carolina businesses, allowing business owners to register and obtain permits and licensing, as well as file and pay taxes. SCBOS also provides information and resources for entrepreneurs who are seeking guidance in opening a business in South Carolina. For more information, visit www.scbos.com.

NEWS RELEASESOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUEPublic Affairs OfficeContact: Adrienne FairwellPhone: (803) 898-5287Email: firstname.lastname@example.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESeptember 25, 2006
Sales Tax Rate Reduction on Unprepared Foods Effective October 1, 2006
Columbia, SC…South Carolinians will soon see additional savings on their grocery bill due to legislation passed and signed by Governor Mark Sanford to reduce the state sales and use tax on unprepared food items.
Effective October 1, 2006, the state sales and use tax rate on unprepared foods will be reduced to three percent—down from five percent. Unprepared food items refer to foods which lawfully may be purchased with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food coupons i.e., food stamps, electronic benefits transfer cards and any other method approved by the USDA.
The reduced state rate does not require that foods be purchased with USDA food coupons in order to be taxed at the three percent state rate. However, food purchased with USDA food coupons will continue to be exempt from the tax.
While persons 85 years of age or older are entitled to a one percent reduction in the state sales tax rate when they request it at the time of purchase and provide proof of their age, the one percent reduction for persons 85 years of age and older will not apply to the new three percent state rate on unprepared food. As a result, persons 85 years of age and older will also pay a state rate of three percent on food eligible to be purchased with USDA food coupons.
For a listing of food eligible for the new three percent state rate and frequently asked questions please visit the South Carolina Department of Revenue Web site, www.sctax.org, and scroll to "What's New."

Pope Saint Simplicius
Son of Castinus. Held the pontificate during the end of the Roman Empire. He defended the Council of Chalcedon against the Monophysites heresy of the Eastern empire. Worked for the Italian people against barbarian invaders. Built four large churches in Rome, and brought some order and organization to the administration of the sacraments in the local churches, bringing the focus back to the sacrament rather than the place of its administration. Opposed Emperor Leo who wanted to officially make the Patriarch of Constantinople second only to the pope in authority. Worked to support orthodox Christianity against the Arianism promoted by King Odoacer.

For me, let's just say it might be worthy of replacing Monster Hunter as my 'fav jrpg' of all time.
Have you played a Persona before this one? I still haven't played any of them. I think I'd really like a demo.

Jericoacoara is slightly more difficult to get to than other places, but that's half of its charm.
Public transfer:
Coming from the East, buses (Fretcar) leave Fortaleza bus station regularly and take about 7 hours. They include an open 4WD transfer from Jijoca.
From the West, come via Camocin, which can be reached via Parnaiba. Regular transports and buggies leave from Camocin to Jeri and take in between one and three hours.
By car:
To get here by car you will need a map/GPS because the roads are not well sign-posted. You need about six hours to get from Fortaleza to the centre of the municipality of Jijoca of Jericoacoara. From there, you will need a vehicle with four-wheel-drive, or a buggy to make the final 23km through the dunes to Jeri itself.
From the Bus Station:
To get to the hostel, walk through the little alley/street opposite the bus station/Global Connection Internet Cafe, cross the main street/Rua Principal, through the next little alley and turn left onto Rua Sao Francisco. Turn right 50m after Jeripan Padaria/bakery in front of a yellow wall, follow the street around and then turn left onto Rua das Dunas. Casa Coco Verde is just up on the righthand side. You should see our little welcome sign and big green gate. There is a map at the end of the photos.

Simply removing the side rails creates your growing baby's first big bed. An ideal height for adventurous toddlers to climb in and out of all by themselves, this huge leap into independence is made less daunting by the familiarity of well-loved surroundings. When most cot beds would be consigned to a dusty corner of the attic or garage, the Langham is instead transformed into an elegant day bed or sofa - the perfect place for active children to take a few quiet minutes to chill out and relax.
Good cotbed, solid oak, sturdy, looks nice.
Beautiful cotbed, sturdy, solid and looks lovely in my nursery.
Great high quality item that was easy to assemble. Cant wait to see our little lady in there!!
Better than i thought. a little bit heavy, but very stable.
I must admit this bed was not my first choice, however i'm so glad that my other choice (from another supplier) didn't turn up. I can't fault the bed, its easy to assemble, even with one person, just use the polystyrene blocks its packaged with to provide support to the sides and mattress base as you put together. It looks quality, but then it should do really as its not the cheapest on the market. Its solid in stature and really easy to make up when the mattress is placed within.

Hi,Is there a way to make the subject line of an email become the task name, while simultaneously making the email body as the note within the task?I'd like to be able to do these two things in one fell swoop as opposed to creating and then going in to modify it. Takes a lot of time. Thanks!
Posted at 1:49pm on October 3, 2012
Hi unknownbreaker,Yes, you can do this with your Inbox address; see the examples on our email page. You can still use Smart Add or list the task properties either way.Let us know if you have any other questions!

The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein
Why more books on Albert Einstein? Two years ago we marked the Year of Physics, celebrating the centenary of his great 1905 papers, including those on special relativity and the particle theory of light. There is already a definitive scientific biography, published by Abraham Pais in 1982. That Einstein had an interesting personal life, with many entanglements with women and at least one extramarital child, has not been news since Roger Highfield and Paul Carter's The Private Lives of Albert Einstein and Dennis Overbye's Einstein in Love, published in 1994 and 2000, respectively. His private letters continue to come to light, but do they really add anything to the portrait of Einstein's character drawn so perceptively by Overbye?
In his new book, Einstein: His Life and Universe, Walter Isaacson explains that
studying Einstein can be worthwhile [because] it helps us remain in touch with that childlike capacity for wonder…as the sagas of [science's] heroes reminds us…. These traits are…vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity….
As he elaborates in a recent interview with Thomas Friedman, "If we are going to have any advantage over China, it is because we nurture rebellious, imaginative free thinkers, rather than try to control expression."1
Noble sentiments, and certainly sufficient justification for continuing to promulgate uplifting myths about science and its heroes. But what does this have to do with the actual character and life of the real person who happened to be the most important physicist of the last two hundred years? There is no doubt that any attempt to understand who Einstein actually was and what he actually did is hampered by a smokescreen that was created by his executors, his colleagues, his biographers, and perhaps even Einstein himself. The myth of Einstein presents us with an elderly sage, a clownish proto-hippy with long hair, no socks, and a bumbling, otherworldly manner. As Isaacson writes it:
Adding to his aura was his simple humanity. His inner security was tempered by the humility that comes from being awed by nature. He could be detached and aloof from those close to him, but toward mankind in general he exuded a true kindness and gentle compassion.
This certainly describes a role that the older Einstein might plausibly have chosen to play as a defense against the onslaught of fame and responsibility. But what Isaacson is describing is a role, not a human being. Who was the person behind that role, and what were his reasons for playing the endearing sage?
Of the new books, Jürgen Neffe's Einstein: A Biography is the liveliest. It was a big success in Germany and one can see why. His prose is lively and the unconventional organization of his book, by theme rather than chronology, with asides about current science, tells an engaging version of Einstein's story. Neffe is not afraid to speculate on the personality of the man behind the myth, even if not all his hypotheses are convincing. At the same time Neffe also tells the heroic story of the scholars hired by the Einstein Papers Project to catalog and publish Einstein's collected papers as they struggled with, sued, and cajoled the executors and family to get the access to the letters and documents they needed to do their job.
The project was launched in 1986 under the joint sponsorship of Princeton University Press and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As Neffe explains, the executors, Otto Nathan and Helen Dukas,
made life difficult for anyone who tried to gain access to the approximately 42,000 items in the archives…. Hence it was not surprising that important papers vanished…. It is uncertain how many documents were removed from Einstein's estate after his death. There is no doubt, however, that documents casting Einstein in an unfavorable light, at least in the opinion of his trustees, were eliminated.
As a result, the efforts of the scholars associated with the Einstein Papers Project—which is now based at the California Institute of Technology—have only recently begun to yield a mature understanding of Einstein's character and his work. Anyone who really wants to get to know Einstein can do no better than immerse themselves in the books and papers coming out of the Einstein Papers Project, which has so far published ten volumes of correspondence and writings spanning the period from Einstein's youth up to 1920.
Less ambitious readers who want an introduction to Einstein's story, taking into account all the latest discoveries of letters and organized in a conventional chronological format, will find Isaacson's workmanlike biography well worth reading. But I found his clearly written account marred by unconvincing attempts to reassure us that we need not be overly concerned by Einstein's rough edges. For example, Isaacson takes pains to assure us that Einstein's criticisms of quantum mechanics, which led to his dissenting from the theory that most of his colleagues thought was the greatest advance of the period, have since been resolved, an assertion that will surprise many scientists who continue to debate and study the issues.
Isaacson also assures us that Einstein's worries about McCarthyism were "overstated" because "as it turned out, American democracy righted itself, as it always has…. Einstein was not used to self-righting systems…and did not fully appreciate how resilient America's democracy and its nurturing of individual liberty could be." Why does Isaacson feel he has to assure us that we don't need to take his subject's political views too seriously?
The problem any biographer faces is that Einstein scholarship is still digging itself out of decades of mythmaking. While it is possible to extract a picture of a real person from the recent books, it takes some work, as the writers themselves still seem too much in awe and accept too easily the sanitized and domesticated version of the fierce and unruly spirit who was the greatest scientist in living memory. To untangle the person from the myth we can begin with the parts of the myth—both personal and scientific—that are inconsistent and incredible.
First the young Einstein, the one who actually made the great discoveries we associate with his name, is nothing like the mellow sage described during his Princeton years. He was seen by his contemporaries as arrogant, intolerant of authority, charismatic, good-looking, manipulative, and avidly engaged in his relationships with women, his children, his friendships, his music. One of his classmates described him as follows:
Sure of himself, his gray felt hat pushed back on his thick, black hair, he strode energetically up and down in a rapid, I might almost say, crazy, tempo of a restless spirit which carries a whole world in itself. Nothing escaped the sharp gaze of his bright brown eyes. Whoever approached him immediately came under the spell of his superior personality. A sarcastic curl of his rather full mouth with the protruding lower lip did not encourage philistines to fraternize with him. Unhampered by convention, his attitude towards the world was that of the laughing philosopher, and his witty mockery pitilessly lashed any conceit or pose.
David Reichinstein, a young physical chemist who knew Einstein in Zurich, wrote that "Einstein can express a strong dislike, and can fly into a passion, becoming intolerant and even unjust." Einstein, in a rare written attempt at introspection, referred to his "hypersensitivity masquerading as indifference."
The young Einstein's contempt toward anyone in authority was strongly expressed and likely hurt his career. After an exchange with Paul Drude in which the unknown student tried, unsuccessfully, to point out an error in the professor's work, he wrote,
It is such manifest proof of the wretchedness of its author that no further comment by me is necessary. From now on I'll no longer turn to such people, and will instead attack them mercilessly in the journals, as they deserve.
The question that needs to be answered, although none of the biographers do so, is how this arrogant, charismatic revolutionary turned into the otherworldly sage who was said to be an "emblem…of the mature and reflective human being." The man who was once seen as childish became admired for being childlike. How did this happen? Had Einstein become resigned after facing political and personal tragedies, or was his new character, as Overbye and Neffe both suspect, at least partly an act? "Einstein the lonely genius," as Neffe writes, "was partly a creation of his own making."
Peter Bergmann, a physicist who collaborated with Einstein at Princeton, used to recount Einstein's reaction to their walk being interrupted once more by a stranger wanting to meet the great man. Einstein chatted amiably but when the person left he remarked, "Well, the elephant has gone through his paces again."
Evidence that Einstein's otherworldliness was at least partly a conscious strategy is to be found in a letter of spring 1915 to his good friend Heinrich Zangger, a doctor he had met in Bern, in which he explained how he kept his cool when his colleagues and friends in 1915 Berlin became fervid about pursuing war:
I always fare the best with my innocuousness, which is up to 20 percent conscious. This is easily attained when you're indifferent to the feelings of your dear fellow humans—but you are never as indifferent to them as they deserve.
Then he explained what was really important to him: "I live completely withdrawn and yet I'm not lonely, thanks to the kind care of a cousin [his lover Elsa] who was the one who drew me to Berlin."
Einstein's letters show that in fact he was capable of considerable sensitivity to the feelings of other people. Here, in a letter quoted by Isaacson, is how he resolved a difficult conflict with the great mathematician David Hilbert over who should get credit for the equations of general relativity in December 1915:
There has been a certain ill-feeling between us, the cause of which I do not want to analyze. I have struggled against the feeling of bitterness attached to it, with complete success. I think of you again with unmixed geniality and ask you to try to do the same with me. It is a shame when two real fellows who have extricated themselves somewhat from this shabby world do not afford each other mutual pleasure.
And here he is in 1911, again in letters quoted by Isaacson, writing to Marie Curie to express support for her during a scandal caused by disclosures of a relationship with a married man:
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number himself among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you….

Just as the summer sun shines on Pride in a seasonal celebration of LGBT lifestyle and love, autumn is overcast with October's National Coming Out Day and LGBT History Month, reminiscent of our past clouded with prejudice as well as progression. Gay issues have become so poignantly and politically pressing as of late that even President Barack Obama recently got in on the action, directly aligning himself as a soldier in our efforts for equality at the Human Rights Campaign's 13th Annual National Dinner in Washington, D.C.
In that regard, this issue of PINK proudly profiles Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing" man, Madison Hildebrand, as its cover story, featuring original and exclusive images. Hildebrand's mainstream self-subscription to the unconventional "polyamourous" identity, repeatedly broadcasted on Bravo as neither base nor blue or taboo, is a testament to how open the world at large has (at least somewhat) become toward our openly "poly"-progressing community.
And as an unintentional frontrunner in new wave of LGBT awareness, Hildebrand seems modestly unaware of his profound, positive impact on public perception and consciousness. Profile writer Duane Wells had this to say about his interview with Hildebrand: "Within minutes of arriving at a recently sold million-dollar property…for his cover shoot. He may have sold over $80 million worth of property over the last few years and he may be one of Coldwell Bankers top producers, but there is not a shred of ego about [him]. In fact he is quite the opposite—a mass of cool and easy going confidence sans attitude…"
Also in this issue, PINK reviews two very sexy and sporty sedans, the "Picks" pages showcase super series of select, signature, stuff, most of which is environmentally safe, to consider for your special someone this upcoming holiday season, our Editor takes a trip to "Tinseltown" with Washington Post reporter Hank Stuever, Norah Jones gets a little poppy, Dakota Fanning chomps down on human flesh, and Coco Chanel is perfect bound in a new, first-of-its kind biography.
All this and more in the following pages of PINK.
Have a happy holiday season.

I just want Battle Lion , so whatever it takes.
I'm watching some 200X, and it occurred to me that Battle Lion should come with interchangeable Battle Cat 200X armor to use on your classics Battle Cat. Perhaps even an interchangeable head so they can sell twice as many. That would be a great way to "plus up" the figure. Anyone else think this is a snazzy idea?

Feedback Thread http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=213737
IF we had a Like Button I'd like the heck out of this!
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
As long as they come with 200x Battle Cat's missile launchers.
That is a PERFECT Idea, will make loads of people happy, especially if you can use the mask armour on Battle Cat.
Mind you I dont want a 200x Battle Cat, but making it so people can have one is awesome. King Grayskull takes care of my 200x He-Man needs and a Battle Lion would do the same for 200x Cat, but I like that people can "Kitbash" their own 200x out. Much better than a specific release.
So Mattel, listen up. Do this.
Battle lion would be awesome , but he needs to be BIG
An obvious choice for a beast slot is Battle Lion due to the reuse of Battle Cat's buck. One problem that I see, however, is King Grayskull's cape hinders his ability to sit on his mount. Now, I suppose you could simply remove KG's cape but that wouldn't be much fun. How magestic looking would KG look mounted on Battle Lion with his flowing cape behind him draped across BL's armor? This has led me to the idea that packed in with BL could be a cape made for KG which rests on his shoulders but flows behind him laying on BL's saddle. Practically speaking, a cape that flows backward fluttering in the wind as if BL is running wouldn't work very well because the cape needs more points of contact other than KG's shoulders to keep it on. Having a cape that is molded to rest on the saddle and KG's shoulders fixes the problem. So what do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea, do you even want BL anymore (in favor of more important beasts and large scale figures) with the line's momentum noticeably slowing and affecting it's lifespan?
Sounds great
Battle-Lion is wicked hadd...
Would love to get Battle Lion
That would be the top reason that I would buy another Battle Lion. I have an extra Battle Cat waiting just in case they do this with Battle Lion.
- - - Updated - - -
I love the cape attachment idea! I think that they should make both flowing AND draped capes. Hopefully the cape attachments are in the original KG colors.

Anyway I'm surprised we actually haven't seen this guy yet as it wouldn't cost them much to make. New head and armor. Since the last quarterly item in 2014 is an army builder, that means we still won't see Battle Lion for a long time. What gives?

"Battle Lion:
Aside from being the chosen mount of King Grayskull himself, this mighty green beast was special for other reasons: It was the cub of Sharella's (chieftain of the Tribe of Green Tigers) albino tiger, and at some point it merged with the spirit of Central Tower's Guardian Lion."
I wonder if Battle Cat could ever merger with the spirit of the Central Tower Lion, if it was a need for him to

EVERETT, WASHINGTON -- I was recently at my local 7-eleven on 4th Ave in S. Everett, Wa When the girl driving in from of me parked in between the pumps. I rolled down my window and asked if she would please move up. She said something to the effect of if I would move my two chins a little more than maybe I would have room. We got into a verbal sparing match in the parking lot. While entering into the 7-eleven she said I spit on her and demanded the employees of the 7-eleven call the police. It was completely stupid and childish but I knew I had to wait for the police to come and I was not worried ~ I had done nothing wrong. I asked Moe (clerk #1) if he would ring me up that I would be happy to leave my license with him and that I was not leaving but would like to pay for my drink now and put $20.00 in gas on #1 he ignored me. When the girl who had accused me of spitting on her went to the counter and purchased her drink and also had gas put on her pump with no problem. I asked him why he would ring her up and not me and he ignored me. The girl came back inside and was telling both employees that I spit on her, and why do fat girls always think they can fight and she made another comment of me being fat and stupid to another clerk, Karen, I said to the girl, "Shut up B***H". Karen yelled at me and told me to watch my mouth, I looked at Karen and said what about her? I was ignored again. When the cops did show up the employees admitted they had not seen me spit on the girl. After the cops left I then went back into the store and asked for the store manager. When I was told he was not there I asked for the clerks name and the number to the store manager. He would not give me that information. I asked why not? He said it did not matter and I did not need it. I said I was not leaving without the information. Karen then gave me a receipt and said I could call that number. When I called that number Karen answered the phone and I asked for the manager. She said he was on vacation, I asked for the district manager and she said she knew who I was, said that I had spit on that poor girl and said I would have to go through the proper chanels and hung up on me. I called awhile later and Moe answered the phone, when I asked for the store manager he said he was the store manager. When I said no you are not he said that if I came to the store again they would call the cops saying I was harassing them. I honestly feel that the girl who made the false complaint was given preferal treatment because she said she was pregnant and was young and pretty where I am fat. So where do you go from here? I have been going to that store for three years and because of a pretty face I go from knowing almost every clerk (evening shift) to being treated like trash because I don't have a tight body.

It's very possible that their reaction had nothing to do with your appearance. They very well might have been scared. Give them some time to forget about the whole thing (a week or two at least) and then continue going there if you want to. Or find another convenience store that suits you better. Chances are 7-11 will happily take your money if it doesn't involve an altercation.

Alain ~ scared of what? I did not do anything. The employees even admitted that they had not seen me spit on that girl!
Venice09 on 05/12/2010:
Cristine, maybe they were afraid of an altercation. But if that was the case they should have stayed out of it and not taken sides. They could have called the police if they thought it was necessary, without siding with anyone. I think Alain gave you some good advice. People have short memories when it comes to these things. Give it a couple of weeks, go back and see how you feel about it. I do think the employees gave your a runaround, and you might want to register a complaint or feedback via the info provided by ProConsumer.

"verbal sparring match"
perhaps it's me but, it sounds like the issue is really with the other customer, with whom you got into a fight with.
as for why they served her and not you... legally they had to, since it sounds like they had already started her pump, unless they were planning on giving her free gas.
Now if you two had started fighting BEFORE the gas had been started, it's perhaps possible that BOTH of you could have been ignored, and subsequently asked to leave.
I'm betting the employee never wanted to be involved in the fight to begin with since none of it was his fault
Anonymous on 05/12/2010:
I agree with bunnyhead...I mean the mental anguish you've suffered over this obvious discrimination just because you're fat is horrific....how dare they treat you differently because you're not tight? No excuse in my book.
I would also consider picketing this location with a sign that says "7-11 discriminates against Fat Chicks."
PepperElf on 05/12/2010:
but all of the anti-weight comments were coming from the other customer, NOT the employee
yes I understand being angry about the other woman's comments. I even understand wanting to have someone punished for making you feel bad.
that someone is the other customer. the issue is that you can't really do anything against her and can't punish her for the fight... especially since both adults were yelling & name calling.
that means the only one who really CAN be punished is the employee
but the only "wrong" thing the employee did was finish the other woman's transaction and not start the next.
one can only *assume* that meant the employee felt the same way about the OP but it doesn't actually mean it.
the thing is... it's not the employee's job to referee shouting matches between adults
nor should it be made their job

Complaints About 7 Eleven and Other Retailers Who Don't Allow Bathroom Access
Posted by
DENVER, COLORADO -- People who are complaining about this issue need to know that these employees have to put up with uncivil and mad people who are worse than animals.
We have customers who clog the toilets, pee and poop on floor like animals and expect others to clean, smear the walls........use it as housing during bad weather, vandalize and graffiti.....the list is too long......
So, before you complain next time, keep this reality in mind.....

Cwazychicken on 05/23/2013:
If there's a public restroom then let customers use it. Luckily where I live they have public restrooms that people can't get away with that crap......
ok4now on 05/23/2013:
It only takes a few pigs to ruin it for everybody. I'm sure when using their home bathroom they don't clog the toilet and have pee and poop on the floor. So why do it just because it's a public bathroom? Personally I try to cleanup out of respect for the next person that will be using it.
GenuineNerd on 05/23/2013:
I have run into many instances where a convenience store, gas station, restaurant, or other business does not provide a public restroom, even to paying customers. In some cases, these are older stores, often in inner city areas, that were never built with a public restroom to begin with

I have been in many 7-Elevens, and not one of them has restrooms for customers, mainly because the restroom is also their locker room and a storage space. In addition, there is too much in the way of injury-causing items that could open them up to a lawsuit if someone got to fooling around back there. It is not like a restaurant that is required to provide restroom facilities.
jktshff1 on 07/03/2011:
I would check with your local health department. Most 7-11 & convenience stores sell prepared food, which in a lot of communities requires the availability of facilities for washing your hands.
anonymous on 07/03/2011:
Don't 7-11's still sell gas like most convenience stores? We don't have any anymore around here, but when we used to they were the same as the rest of the convenience stores, selling gas, etc. In Florida if the place sells gas it is required to have a public restroom available at all times.
Anonymous on 07/03/2011:
Ask if it is the policy at night. It could very well be an employee safety issue.
madconsumer on 07/03/2011:
having lived in dallas for 15 years, that area of dallas is not safe after dark. if the restrooms are open to customers in the day, but not at night, it is for the safety of the employees.
trmn8r on 07/03/2011:
I, like others, wonder if this is a safety issue. That is a logical explanation. I don't know what the regulations are, but I'd almost give the nod to breaking rules if it means making things more safe for the employees.
spiderman2 on 07/03/2011:
Some 7/11s have gas and some don't. My family was just travelling and the boys all used the bathroom at 7/11. It was a public restroom. I am imagining from this complaint, that this particular 7/11 doesn't have bathrooms that are for public use. Otherwise, wouldn't customers just walk in and use them? Sounds like they are locked or in a back room.
ChuhBaca on 07/03/2011:
Why is it such a big deal to let someone use the restroom? It seems just one more example of not treating others like fellow members of the human race.
clutzycook on 07/03/2011:
7-11 bought out all the White Hen's in my area a few years back. Naturally, they're not going to sell gas.
trmn8r on 07/03/2011:
Why is it such a big deal? I'd consider asking an attendant or the relatives of a dead one who has been assaulted or murdered in the dark of night. That seems to be when a lot of this kind of activity takes place.
Of course, robbers can come in with guns blazing and never make a potty stop. Personally, I'd feel safer if the bad guys are only coming from one direction, and not have to worry that an accomplice is going to help jack me after he does his business.
GenuineNerd on 07/03/2011:
Often times, convenience stores do not have public restrooms, especially if they are in inner-city or high-crime areas, or if they're older locations that were never built with public facilities-just an employees-only facility off the store's office or stock room. If it is an employees-only restroom, sometimes store stock or employee personal belongings would be stored there. I have seen a convenience store restroom once that was also being used to store soft drinks and beer. Keeping such restrooms off limits to customers, especially at night, would be a safety issue as well, since robbers can hide in a restroom.

If it isn't made out yet just make it out to yourself and cash it. Normally refunding mo's minus the purchase price isn't an issue with a receipt and proper ID.
If it is already filled out, you usually write on the back that it was not used for its intended purpose, and fill out a claim form to be reimbursed.
Ask the manager of the 7-11 where you purchased it why they won't refund it.

7-11 Sucks
Posted by
Well since today was the 11.7/11's Birthday..so nationwide they were giving out FREE slurpies because it was their birthday. So me and my friends decided to go get free slurpies. Instead they made up a million excuses why they didn't give us slurpies. And they lied and tried calling the cops on us. and they cursed at us. So we cursed back at them. and we left the store. They are very Disrespectful. 7-11 is Just HORRIBLE. I'd rather stick to McDonalds and Burger King.

Right on their website is says "at participating stores, while supplies last."
From another site mentioning this promotion:
"Free slurpee day 2010. Today is a FREE Slurpee day. Go to the nearest 7-11 and get your FREE slurpee. Each store will give out 1,000 of the 7.11 ounce drinks on a first come, first serve basis July 11."

sounds like they weren't one of the first 1000 and tried to cause a scene
Starlord on 07/12/2010:
Either that, or the store was not a participant in the promotion, and when what must have seemed like a gang descended on them, they reacted in a reasonable manner.
yoke on 07/12/2010:
Either that or they did not want the small size that they were given out and expected to get the size they wanted for free.
We had NO problem getting our free slurpee's. The kids in front of us wanted the large slurpee for free and were told they had to pay for those. They were a little upset, but paid for them. They were rude with the cashier, until the cashier pointed to the display of little cups and sign that stated they were the free ones. the kids then apologized to the cashier.
jktshff1 on 07/12/2010:
kid's apologized!!!! will wonders never cease.

jkt, it was a sincere apology too and there were no adults to tell them to do it. Most kids are very respectful. Having 3 teens and a houseful of adopted teens(we are the hangout house) I can honestly say I would rather be in a room full of teens than a room full of adults. I get please and thank you all the time.

A 7-Eleven so Rude and Disrespectful to Kind Patron
Posted by
PACOIMA, CALIFORNIA -- The 7-Eleven at 10711 Glenoaks Boulevard, Pacoima, California, 91331, would not accept my scratched quarter by proxy via an employee who acted so rude and unprofessional it is amazing he is employed by 7-Eleven. How do you treat patrons of a business with unprovoked hatred and disrespect? All other vendors and food machines and newspaper machines accept that same quarter.
I walked out the door when I was told my quarter would not be accepted and I left more money than the price of the candy bar and the candy bar all on the counter and nobody in the store including the rude disrespectful and unprofessional man said anything. I will never go to that particular store again therefore I will not be subjected to some sick employee's unprofessional rude hostile service.

Hi Vickinyogi
Interesting choice for a screen name
Is your personal appearance just as interesting?
Your appearance is a persons first perception of you. It can even set the tone of a conversation before it starts. I am not saying this is right by any means. But it is something you control, at least to a point.
If you look freaky deaky or like a bum or a thugged out crackhead, you will be unwelcomed in a lot of places by a lot of people.
I'm not sure if 7-11 cashiers receive specialized diversity training.
I bet they are trained about shoplifters and thugs. I bet they see it all in those stores.

I purchased 13 gallons of sludge
Posted by
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -- On 08 October 2005, while travelling to New York, I stopped in the 7-Eleven Convenience Store located at I-70 and Post Drive in Indianapolis, Indiana. I purchased 12.77 gallons of sludge that has ultimately done over $14,000 in damages to my 2004 Isuzu Rodeo with the 3.5 liter Direct Injection engine. I have submitted numerous receipts substantiating my claim against them, yet they have done nothing. 12 miles and 45 minutes later I was at an Advance Auto Parts store putting HEET water remover, Lucas Fuel Additive, and octane booster trying to clear my fuel system out. Same month I am replacing my entire fuel system, next month I am replacing catalytic converters, next month I am replacing 5 of the 6 fuel injectors, now I need a whole new engine. They sent me a response to my request in the amount of $34.21 to cover the cost of the tank of sludge I purchased. I hardly find that amusing at all. If anyone else has had a similar incident from the same company, please feel free to contact me by email email@example.com . I fully intend to bring this to light in the public eye, and possibly file a class action lawsuit against them. Thanks in advance for any assistance or support.

Oh man I would be fuming. I can see how it might be hard to prove unless someone is able to inspect the tanks while there still is a problem with the fuel quality. Otherwise it just becomes a battle of who is telling the truth. Good luck!
Doc J on 07/14/2006:
I know, it's hindsight in 20/20...but it may have been to your advantage to go back and purchase a gallon of their bad gas in a clean can (from the same pump) as soon as you realized there was a problem. No blame on you for not doing it...just a suggestion for those so-affected in the future. Any chance that a number of other customers had a similar experience? Good luck cap'n.
CaptAdams35 on 07/14/2006:
I just realized I had forgotten to add the fact that I have receipts from 12 miles down the road, plus contact with an automotive professional right after I left the station. All dated and stamped with times. There's no grey area for them to deny any of my charges. Again, thanks for your support in my endeavor.
Doc J on 07/14/2006:
Cap-If you haven't done so, you might try making posts on the hundreds of auto enthusiast and car repair sites that are out there. You may find someone else to stand with you in your complaint.
CrazyRedHead on 07/14/2006:
You need receipts from the gas station that you bought the gas from, which includes the receipt. Also, some gas from that station couldn't have hurt. It may be to late now, but do you know anyone else that has complained about that particular gas station and there gas.
CaptAdams35 on 07/14/2006:
I have the fuel receipt, and the fuel treatments receipt from 12 miles down the road, I had the fuel filter with the "sludge" residue in it, but it got "lost" when I mailed it to their insurance people. But, I did have a passenger that rode in my vehicle a lot before and after this happened. My father, the chief of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, was aware of my vehicle's "perfection" prior to stopping there, and it's demise afterwards. I will check out the auto sites. Thanks for your help guys.

On Nov 11 I walked into a 7-eleven store in Macau, China, asking to have a coin changed in to smaller coins. I got the answer "only if you buy something". I would like to know if this is the official 7-eleven policy or if it is just the lack of courtesy and helpfulness of the personnel at this particular franchise (Rua de Campo, Macau, opposie Macdonald's).

It's certainly no policy I've heard of here. It's sounds like the clerk wasn't interested in any goodwill and probably wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.
Hugh_Jorgen on 11/09/2006:
Could be a loss prevention thing - some retailers set up their cash registers so they can only be opened in the event of a sale - in theory, it lessens the chances of employee theft.
yoke on 11/09/2006:
It could also be a way to prevent a robbery. Once the register is open the person could rob the clerk. Besides, 7-11 is there to sell things they are not a bank to make change.

Convenience stores are not banks, if you need change, go to a bank. A lot of times, every time a cashier opens the till, out prints a no sale, and a lot of the stores have to record why the drawer was opened and no sale was made.
DORCAS on 11/11/2006:
Sure it could be a theft deterrent but all you would have to do is pick up a pack of gum to get them to open the register. It's not a big deal to do. Back in the day it was done all the time with no big hassel or suspicion. I see it done at local grocery stores even now. The guys was just lazy and didn't want to be a good samaratin. Plain and simple.

RICHMOND, Va. - A resident of a Richmond apartment building faces charges of causing a water leak that prompted an evacuation and led to the structure's condemnation.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch ( http://bit.ly/WWIhog) reports that 56-year-old Gloria M. Snead is charged with destruction of property and violating the statewide fire prevention code.
Firefighters estimated water poured through the 11-story Grace Place apartment building at an estimated 30 to 40 gallons a minute after the leak occurred Jan. 15.
Richmond fire Lt. Robbie Hagaman says the leak was traced to a sprinkler head in a closet in Snead's apartment. They also found another sprinkler head that was broken and several others that were damaged in the apartment.
The leak displaced 26 residents.

Each processor has its own dedicated memory that it accesses directly through an Integrated Memory Controller. In cases where a processor needs to access the dedicated memory of another processor, it can do so through a high-speed Intel QuickPath Interconnect (Intel QPI) that links all the processors. Intel Microarchitecture Nehalem complements the benefits of Intel QPI by enhancing Intel® Smart Cache with an inclusive shared L3 cache that boosts performance while reducing traffic to the processor cores.

Intel® Intelligent Power Technology
Within a single server, Intel Intelligent Power Technology minimises power consumption when server components are not fully utilised. Integrated Power Gates (see Figure 3) allow individual idling cores to be reduced to near-zero power independent of other operating cores, reducing idle power consumption to 10 watts, versus 16 or 50 watts in prior-generations of Intel® quad-core processors. This feature reduces server idle power consumption by up to 50% versus the previous generation of two-socket server processors. Automated Low-Power States automatically put processor and memory into the lowest available power states that will meet the requirements of the current workload (see Figure 3). Processors are enhanced with more and lower CPU power states, and the memory and I/O controllers have new power management features.

Jets capture sectional volleyball title
BLUFFTON - If the Adams Central girls' volleyball team had struggled a bit in the last couple of weeks, it didn't show in sectional action at Bluffton on Saturday. The Jets rose to the occasion, executing with almost pristine excellence to eliminate Bishop Luers, which has won the past three sectionals in succession and host Bluffton.
Against Luers, once the Jets gained confidence, their control level elevated. By the time the semifinal contest was over, AC had defeated the Knights, 25-22, 25-16 and 25-11 to assure that a new champion would be crowned.
Just two hours after the Luers game ended, the Jets returned against Bluffton, who had eliminated Churubusco, 3-2, in the ...
