The Truth About Idearc
Posted by
I have read many reviews of Idearc/Superpages.com from many angry customers that feel that have been ripped off,
but have not really read any solid explanations of why Idearc/Superpages.com is a rip off.
My name is Lisa, I work for the company in Everett, WA and have done the research to know why. It is my hope that by divulging
the truth someone will be able to use the information to take action against this company. I've made a lot
of money selling worthless advertising and this is my attempt to make it right.
First off, it's important to know that Idearc/Superpages.com employs a very specific sales tactic that they
refer to as "Salesology." This is the very basis of all training and as an employee of the company, if you do
not follow this method, you will be reprimanded. Salesology is taught to all employees by Jay Hughes. Utilizing this sales method, most customers don't even realize that they just purchased
advertising. Here's how it works:
1) A Business receives a cold call and they are asked if it's "a bad time."
2) Rep tells them that "We have people in your area looking for (fill in blank) in your area, are you
currently taking on more work/new customers?"
3) Then we ask how much more work they can handle and how much they make per job. Multiply the amount of work by
the profit per job and that's their gap. Let's say an Electrical Contractor averages $500 per job and can take on
10 more of those per month. "So, if I were able to help you close that $5000 gap per month in your business,
would it be fair to ask for $500 on the back-end in return?"
4) Customer says "of course."
5) Almost no explanation is given on how we are going to get them this promised work. We get GTI
(General telemarketing international) on the phone who records the customer agreeing to a 12-month
contract. They are told we're doing this "To enter them into our database." Most people have no idea
what just happened, but this is 100% legally binding. Our only goal is to get them through GTI.
In the initial training, they state we're to find the gaps in small to medium sized businesses and help
them grow. The funny thing is that no matter what state their business is in, no matter what they sell, how
much they make per sale...it's all the same. The solution to every business is a minimum $500/month program to
meet their objectives. They don't really encourage anyone to sell over a $500/month plan because that
requires a signed contract in lieu of a GTI recording. If you sell less than $500 you're scoffed at, even if the
business doesn't need it.
So, what does a business get for $500/month? We are told to tell businesses that we are selling "SuperLeads."
However, these are nothing more than clicks with a theoretical conversion rate. Their collateral even shows how
this works. So, for $500 worth of SuperLeads a business will get 125 clicks with the minimum of $4/click (some
categories are more). They state that, on average, for every 5 clicks, a customer will actually make a call
to the business. $500 should then relate to 25 calls in a month. Again, this is how we are trained and this
is what the collateral we can send out states.
If the above actually worked, then it wouldn't be a bad deal. However, most businesses will not get any calls
for their $500 per month. Why? Most (at least 90%) of these clicks aren't even from SuperPages.com, Google, Yahoo
or anything you've ever heard of. They are from obscure partner sites that pull out a single keyword from the
business and get the needed clicks to bill out $500. As an example, let's say a kitchen contractor installs sinks.
Let's say someone googles "sink holes." A few wrong clicks and the contractor is out $4. Again, at least 90%
of these clicks have nothing to do with what a business does. The customer doesn't have any access to
these click reports, and there are no audits done to ensure it's actually working at all. The fact is that
most sales are made to oversaturated markets where businesses will not get any return on their
investments. We can sell to the same type of business in the same cities as much as we want and tell everyone
"we have people looking for your services." In all actuality, Superpgaes.com gets little traffic, and if a business
gets even one call per month for $500 they are doing better than average.
Next, is there click fraud going on? ( i.e. the company clicking on its own ads to turn a profit.) I'm not 100%
sure here. We used to be able to see the IP addresses that were clicking on the ads, but not any more.
In the past, I did random sample searches to cross reference the IP addresses by location and a large amount
of the IP addresses were not even in the same state as the businesses. Many of these IP addresses seemed to
track back to where Idearc has physical offices. I have asked many times if I click on someone's ad from work, will
they be charged a click and have always been told no. I'm not so sure about that.
We also sell postcard mailers. When these came out I was excited to sell something that actually works. We are
told to tell customers they can expect a 0.5% - 2.0% return of them. I've heard of a few businesses getting
work from these, but I also know of businesses that have sent out 10,000 cards (at $5000) with zero return.
The artwork on these is generally poor, as they have the sales reps do the basic design and ad copy for
them with very little training. It's mostly a joke to see just how bad they come out. Many contractors have
actually gotten in trouble from the State because License numbers have to be on their ads. This also is not
[snip - no personal information please]
Good Luck!!!

As a current employee of Super Media (formerly Idearc Media) we promise that we will always take care of the client. We are very clear and even bring on an independent company to clarify the details of the agreement. On top of that, we email out the detailed contract to the client. At any point, if the client is not satisfied, or just plain has second thoughts and wants to cancel, they have a full 14 days after the agreement to cancel simply by sending an email or faxing in. No questions are asked.
I will say that I am fully aware of who and why this post was placed. Let's just say that this group did not leave on their own, and were the perpetrators of shady dealings.
Super Media only employs the most honest and qualified consultants and I am proud to be a part of this flourishing business. I have been with them for a long time now, and stand behind all that they do.
Feel free to visit www.superpages.com. At least 80% of the businesses that are partnered with us are here by choice, as they have been with us longer than a year (they go to a month to month plan after the 1 year agreement). In addition, Super Media have strong alliances with Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Bing. They are the largest yellow page site nationally, and that only happens by making clients and end users happy.
Thank you, and we look forward to helping your business succeed.

Will Never Do Business With Again
Posted by
I am a new plumbing contractor in the Richmond Virginia area. From the beginning dealings with this company were very irritating! I couldn't get a hold of my rep either at his office or on his cell. Once I signed the paper work to go in the yellow pages I couldn't get him! I guess he didn't care anymore just like the company themselves! I told him of certain things that needed to be put on the ad an he told me he would take care of them. Well when the book came out I had people calling me (friends) telling me well the ad looks good except why doesn't your ad have licensed and insured on it!!!
Well that was 1 of the things I told him about and wasn't taken care of!!!! I called him and he said he would look into it(I actually got him!). Well he called me back and told me they messed up in the art department and that the company would be contacting me soon. Well about a month later they called me and said that because it was not a text error they could do nothing! I went off. Then they offered me free advertising for the next year. I told them well how does that help me now!
I may not be in business next year I'm a plumbing service company I need advertising and if people don't know I'm licensed and insured they aren't going to call me! She tried to feed me a bunch of bull about business and that if my company messed up that I wouldn't give money back or fix the problem! I don't know what plumber she deals with but my company does not work like that! Well she offered me 200 dollars off a 1400.00 ad! Then when I laughed at her about that she said there was nothing else she could do for me or my company! An she denied me talking to a supervisor! I started making more calls and e-mails and had no response then I sent them a letter they called me after I called and told them I had contacted my lawyer. An she told me I had signed a final with the ad that went in the paper. I told her I never signed a final I never saw one!!!
Well they sent me the fax with the supposed final and the paper she is talking about was the rough of the ad! Not the finished ad! That paper was only the paper stating that I would be putting an ad in there book and somewhat what it would look like and that when it was done to my approval that I would sign the final to go in the book! And the agent said nothing would go in without my approval!!! Well it did!!!
An now they are saying it is not there fault that it is my reps or agents fault!!! So I said to her "So now I have to pay for something your employee did not do correct I have to pay for your employee's screw-up!!!! and she said yes you do!!! I can not believe this company!!!!! How do they stay in business!!! There are other plumbing companies in the area that they have messed up to and they are not going to advertise with them again. The only way my company is making it now is off other plumbing companies that know my work and by word of mouth. I WILL NEVER AGAIN ADVERTISE WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN! I am on my way to taking them to court! I'll let everyone know how it went. What needs to happen is everyone needs to take them and they need to be shut down permanently!!!!!!

CALIFORNIA -- I don't know how a reputable company like Verizon could turn their advertising customers over to a bad outfit like Idearc Media. For years Verizon Yellow Pages was the only place I advertised. I had just one bold listing, and it brought me enough business. Then they turned their advertising sales over to Idearc Media. Late last year, one of their reps convinced me to take out six small ads in the 2009/10 edition. She was so pleasant and called and emailed me all the time. That is, until she'd firmed up my contract. After that, it was impossible to reach her. She had promised to send me proofs which I never received. Out of frustration I left a message for her supervisor. But he never returned my call either. Finally, I spoke with someone in Customer Service. Shortly after that, I got a curt voicemail from her saying that the phone books had been delayed and that I'd be getting my proofs shortly. I never did. When the phone books finally came out, they were of appallingly poor quality - cheap, thin paper, blurry printing, binding so far to the inside that parts of some ads are unreadable (like when a used book has been poorly rebound). But, my main complaints are that the 2009/10 small, companion book, which is used at least as much as the larger book, is just a copy of the 2007/08 edition. My six ads aren't even in it. Yet, I'm being charged as much as if the ads were in both books. Also, there's a problem with the ads themselves, which could have easily been corrected if I'd seen the proofs in advance. I certainly won't ever advertise with them again them unless Verizon takes back the Yellow Pages. With all the complaints against Idearc Media, it seems that customers should have recourse of some kind.

imo on 10/23/2009:
You are assuming that Idearc is a different company than Verizon, and that is the source of their corporate misbehavior. Having been employed as a sales rep there for over a decade, I can tell you that the only difference between Verizon & Idearc is the name. A short history: Bell Atlantic merged with GTE around 2000 to form Verizon. The new corporation placed Kathy Harless in charge of the yellow page/internet advertising division, and she proceeded to single-handedly destroy that part of the company. Around 2005, Verizon decided to sell off the yellow page advertising division, but couldn't find a buyer at the $14-$19 billion asking price. So they engaged in some Enron accounting, spinning off that business as a separate entity called Idearc Media, and shifting approximately $9 billion worth of debt to the newly formed company. During all of these maneuvers, the staff and offices have remained the same, except for a few heads at the top. It is essentially the same company, following the same misguided policies.
Through the 1990's, Bell Atlantic had some level of business ethics, and its mission was to try to help its clients build there business through advertising. After the GTE merger, the overriding concern was to drive up Verizon's stock price - at any cost. Ethics & morality were swept aside as so much dust. A wide path of disenchanted employees and abused customers was left in the wake of the pursuit of sales numbers.
Today, Idearc is floundering around in an attempt to survive the consequences of its tattered reputation. Its employee morale is at an all time low, as are its customer relations. My understanding is that, once it comes out of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy, it will once again change the corporate name. The idiots at the top must think that a simple name change will help it escape its ugly past.
The bottom line - Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg and his cohorts are the ones who created this mess to begin with. It is a mistake to think that a return to the Verizon days would make any difference whatsoever.

Can't Get Hold Of Them To Dispute Bill Then They Send My Account To Collection Agency
Posted by
E Leary
I cancelled my advertising with Idearc Media and they continued to bill me. I cancelled again, but they wouldn't stop. I tried contacting them and finally after getting through, the call mysteriously disconnected in the middle of the conversation. Had to start all over with the automated system and then once I get someone we're disconnected again. I gave up. I try calling them from time to time, and now their latest voice mail message now is: "we're in a meeting right now and can't come to the phone." Huh? What are you, the corner ice cream shop? I've tried emailing, tried everything and they will not respond. So now they're ruining my credit by sending a collection agency after me. I will not pay the damn $116.00 to these scam artists. They are evil. I believe I will sue them and let's see if they show up in court. Maybe then, if they show up in court, I can finally have a conversation with someone without getting disconnected, or told they're in a meeting. That is, if I can restrain myself from throwing the person up against the wall by his neck. This company cares nothing about their customers or about their reputation.
I can't believe it was associated with Verizon, who has great customer service. This company is evil and should be put out of business. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! They will screw you. Trust me.

great review.
very helpful.
but as you notice, their mail box is a drop box at dfw airport. maybe a court case is in order here. have you tried contacting the DA?
Anonymous on 02/18/2009:
If they are a Texas LLC doing business in Texas, contact the Attorney General of Texas and the Secretary of State. The former will assist (diligently) with your complaint as a consumer and the latter will help you track down the persons forming and managinig the LLC. Good Luck! That the only contact with them is an airport drop box suggests a very portable operation able to disappear in the twilight.

Fraud in Advertising
Posted by
LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA -- Idearc Media does the yellow book advertising for Verizon. They contacted us for an ad. We submitted what we wanted. They always sent incorrect proofs, then we canceled. We went to Customer service, handed in all our proof including times and dated faxes, certified letters. Nothing we can do you signed a contract. Yes, BUT WE CANCELED BEFORE DEADLINE! Too bad, we are not doing anything. We were cursed at, by sales rep and all they do is laugh.
SHAME ON IDEARC MEDIA. And SHAME on VERIZON for having such companies defraud the public. Contact us with any similar complaints. Class action lawsuit.

eventgrp on 03/25/2008:
In January of 2008 we received our first bill from Idearc Media, Inc. Not knowing who they were, we investigated and found they were handling the Verizon Print Directories. We decided to cancel since the directory was really of no used to us.
After notifying Idearc in writing that we wished to cancel we were informed that we could not cancel until September of 2008.
Since this company was new to us, we had not received any explanation of the change and we had not received a renewal notice, we feel we are being taken advantage of.
We asked for a copy of the written contract and were told that the contract was verbal and was made by an employee in our San Dimas office which has been closed for 2 years. We were able to obtain a copy of the third party verbal verification, but nothing else.
Today I tried to get to the bottom of things and was transferred at least 5 times and was hung up on twice. Eventually I encountered Elliott Levi who told me that we were on automatic renewal and that renewal notices were rarely sent out and would have gone to our non existent San Dimas office. He told me that if there was no response to the notice then the assumption is to publish the ad. All cancellations must be in writing.
We did not have the opportunity to cancel because we were not informed of the renewal until we received the first bill. At that point, it was too late. In addition, the bill came from a company we did not recognize.
Idearc has used unethical business practices to force us into paying for advertising we do not want. The dollar amount may be small, but we may sue just on principle.
noc12 on 04/16/2008:
Hey docwaz
I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I placed an add with Verizon superpages back in 2003 and eventually canceled in 2004 because of horrible service. Then 3 years later I get Idearc Media calling me, telling me that I owe them $590.00. When I called them to ask why that was, they said that it automatically renewed and that I never canceled (when I did cancel). So they were charging me for over a year when I thought it was canceled. When I spoke to their reps they had attitudes and they seemed to really enjoy me being upset. I had to end up paying a collections company they sent after me. I already reported them to the Better Business Buerau and Consumer Affairs. If your interested in filing a class action lawsuit I am right behind you. This company is out of control and needs to be regulated.
netman206 on 04/13/2009:
Wow, These people are crooks the same thing happened to me.
I disagreed on the proofs of the add and told them to cancel and not run the add due to a change of business numbers. The crooks there ran the add anyway with the old numbers on the add and not only that it was a full page display, Once again nothing was agreed on but still the add was posted.

Lack of service

TEXAS -- Marvin Schuster

To whom it may concern:
Hello There. This is David Messenger of Truth.
The truth is that Verizon Yellow Pages and IdearcMedia etc. are 2 companies that have conducted business with me in an unprofessional manner.
I am advertising in their Verizon yellow pages in Miami, Florida, and I have many issues with them ranging from artwork mistakes, no artwork proof given before they printed the book, and the internet campaign I had done with them was not done right. They just don't seems to care about their customers at all. They just seem to care about money.
After they get your money, they forget about you. My rep given to me by there company "[name removed]" #100245 is a rep who is really working at IdearcMedia Verizon Yellow Pages for a paycheck only. When it comes to taking care of customers, she really does not care just like the company she works for. Her supervisor Roslyn Parker is really there for a paycheck. She does not care about fixing problems at all .
I had been doing business with Verizon yellow pages for 2 ½ years with no problems. Now that I have a problem I have tried to fix it, and I called every phone number that I can find for the company. I spoke to many different people from their company from New York to Texas, Saint Petersburg, Hollywood Florida, to Jacksonville Florida and the list goes on and on. I just get transferred from one place to another and no one knows how to help me or give me info to resolve my problems. I just keep getting transferred or given a phone number to call etc.
Finally, I got to IdearcMedia Headquarters in Texas after a month and many hours of trying to figure out who can help me . When I finally got someone on the phone who said they could help me resolve the issues I became hopeful, but ultimately my hopes were dashed and nothing was resolved.
All and all the negligence and lack or follow through by Verizon cost me an estimated $200,000 in revenue. This page was made to warn people about doing business with this bad company, IdearcMedia and Verizon Yellow Pages. You can add your complaints to this page so the truth can be told and heard.

Terrible Business Practices!
Posted by
CALIFORNIA -- I am a small business owner in Southern CA, and have had a horrible time trying to cancel Idearc advertising in a Verizon book. They renewed my advertising contract without my consent, and when I realized what had happened, was told that it was too late and the book was already published. I refused to pay for advertising that I didn't authorize, but have been turned over to a collection agency.

You might check your contract with them, I would not be surprised to find an "auto renew" provision hidden in there. If that's the case make sure you follow their instructions to cancel any future ads or this will go on and on.....
Anonymous on 05/22/2008:
I used to get a 'renewal' bill for Yellow Pages ads. Many people wrongly assume if they don't pay the bill, the ad will not renew. As the poster found...they do! The original contract often states this and advises subscribers to notify the publisher of 'changes' (cancellations too)...or the ad will continue to run as written. Sorry, you're stuck with the bill and should pay it.
dusty_V on 06/08/2008:
Don't feel too bad. I bought a motel in 11/2001. I never knew that the previous owner had a self renewing contract with these folks, the bill was buried in my phone bill. This year Idearc took over their own billing, when I called to find out what it was that I was being billed for I got the royal run around. After many, many calls and confrontations I finally was told I had to call and cancel. When I did I found that I have to pay through October. Lol, a bunch of crooks with a huge legal team. 5 thumbs down!

Winnie Tatya
Canadian, b. 1931
People and Animals, 1971–1972
wool felt, embroidery floss on wool stroud
87 x 47.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Faye and Bert Settler
Winnie Tatya was born in the Garry Lake area, but moved to Baker Lake in 1968. She soon began drawing, and in the early 1970s she began making wall hangings. Her fabric work has been in many exhibitions since 1974, including the international touring show Northern Lights: Inuit Textile Art from the Canadian Arctic, organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1995. In this early work, she has used a sewing stitch of her own invention: a long feather or Cretan stitch, tightly worked to completely cover the appliquéd felt forms. The result is a slightly raised image, with solid bands of evenly spaced coloured threads. Non-naturalistic, geometric designs have been used for the figures and animals at the top, and variegated embroidery floss contributes to a three-dimensional appearance.

Patricia (Pokey) Bolton was introduced to embellished quilting and the related needle arts in 1998, and ever since she took her first stitch (a fly) and embroidered her first motif (a spider), she has been entangled in this hobby and doesn't envision herself free.
Experimental Quilting and Surface Design
This episode introduces some experimental concepts using both thread and paint. Ellen Anne Eddy starts out with a demonstration of free-motion bobbin work with hand-dyed and metallic threads. Then, meet Marcia Derse as she shows us resist dyeing techniques for creating unique fabric designs with infinite color combinations: first is monoprinting, and then she shows over-dyeing with thickened dyes. Finally, it's lesson 2 with Ana Buzzalino: tips and tricks to make free-motion machine quilting easier.
Make It Work!
How do you make your quilting work? What determines if all of the elements come together in a harmonious way? This episode looks at some of the ways to have a finished project where all of the "pieces" come together! First, Helen Gregory shares a patchwork computer bag-it's the choice of fabric that makes this project work. Next, Deborah Boschert offers a lesson on combining a linear background composition with organic shapes in stitch or paint-two very different elements that "work". Finally, Ana Buzzalino provides another machine stitching lesson: how to make perfect free-motion feathers.
Free-Motion Work
Free-motion stitching is a favorite topic for art quilters; unique thread patterns are an all-important layer in contemporary quilting. We begin with Ellen Anne Eddy and her free-motion techniques for making flower motifs. She's making pattern-free embellished flowers with free-motion applique stitching. Then, meet Lindsey Murray for some of the best quilt storage and organization tips for both your machine and your studio. Finally, Ana Buzzalino presents lesson 4 of our free-motion stitching tutorials: using a basic free-motion machine quilting design in different configurations for interesting effects.
Quilts at Play
Quilting is all about having fun-don't take yourself or your quilting too seriously. We begin with Heather Jones as she stretches her improvisational piecing skills with an easy wall hanging. Then, Deborah Boschert is back to create a sheer silhouette over a dramatic fabric background with free-motion stitching and clever layering of materials. We finish up with Sophie and Luana Rubin for a youthful perspective on the process of learning to quilt.
Creative Quilting
Every once in a while we need to jump-start our creativity. Maybe it's finding a new source of inspiration or a new supply, and sometimes it's as simple as learning a new technique. This episode does all three. First it's simple shibori with Jeannie Palmer Moore: learn the art of resist painting. Then, meet Jane Davila. She creates watercolor-like quilts with free-motion stitching. We end today with the first of our UFOs-those unfinished projects in need of a little inspiration.
Paint and Dye
One key element of quilt design is fabric. Learn to create your own fabrics with paints and dyes for truly one-of-a-kind patterns. First, Marcia Derse begins with techniques for painting fabrics with silk screening paints. Hand painting fabric creates intimate marks and layers of color. Then, we move to unique postcards with Marlene Glickman. They feature dyed sheers, silks, and collaged fabrics. Finally, we move to another method of fabric manipulation with Michele Muska and machine needle felting. She creates felted trees of roving, yarn, and wool onto a premade red tree skirt.
Stitch, Quilt, and Finish
It's hard to define the common elements of an art quilt, but at the most basic level all have stitching, quilting, and finishing plus the added element of a contemporary attitude. This episode begins with a segment taped on location with Valori Wells: fabric designer, sewer, and quilter. She presents a modern quilt featuring paint, embroidery, machine stitching, and specialty fabric-for an integrated design. Then, Luana Rubin, trend expert and chair holder in the Color Marketing Group, returns to the show. Learn about two key trends in the industry today. We finish up-literally-with Jane Davila who shares edge-finishing techniques involving stitch, machine decorative stitching, and stitch and paint-all suitable for small quilts.
It's A Color Conundrum
Color has the ability to change the look and focus of a quilt, especially when it comes to fabric choices. Our guests on this episode change or modify their initial fabric choice for a brand new look. We begin with Rayna Gillman and a fabric makeover. She shows us how to print on cloth that needs a little help, with the express purpose of slicing it up and using in a free-form quilt. Then, meet color expert Judy Coates Perez for an overview of 500 color recipes. She's creating custom recipes for dyeing fabric based on the weight of the fabric and water to dye ratio. Finally Michele Muska creates felted placemats with Dresden and double wedding ring shapes in a traditional color palette.
Art Meets Stitch
This episode looks at thread and stitch and their impact on projects. Rebecca Kemp Brent starts us out with a small drawstring bag. All sorts of stitching is prominent, from the machine-embroidered redwork designs to the enhancements with needle felting, punch needle work, ribbon embroidery, and beading. Then, Rayna Gillman is back for a return visit featuring her slicing techniques with hand-printed fabrics to create free-form strip sets. Finally we have another returning guest: Jane Davila gives a lesson on combining stitch, fabric, and paper.
It's One-Of-A-Kind!
One of the trademark characteristics of art and artists is uniqueness. Artists pride themselves on taking a personal approach to the artistic process. This results in work that reflects their personality and is one-of-a-kind. Jo Fitsell is our first artist. She shares fabric marbling techniques to create layered and organic effects. Then, meet Jeannie Palmer Moore as she creates a unique canvas for the addition of color. Finally, Ana Buzzalino gives one final machine quilting lesson: using stencils as an aid for free-motion work.
Artfully Pieced
This episode looks at piecing and how we put together our fabric and color elements to create an artfully pieced quilt. It seems like such a simple concept but it's a new way of looking at your quilt. Kathleen Loomis starts us out with a lesson on piecing in art quilting. Follow her expert guidance for a new direction to take. Then, returning guest Ana Buzzalino takes us from sketch to stitch. She uses free-motion machine quilting to stitch vignettes from sketches and photographs. Finally, we have another edition of unfinished quilts and some ideas for finishing in our UFO segment.
Colorful Illusions
We often explore different ways to create unique surface effects with paints or dyes, and this episode's designers share some very interesting ways to add and take away color. First, Jo Fitsell presents a fabric marbling technique using stencils. Next, Jeannie Palmer Moore is back with a lesson on preserving the white! She shows us how to do resists on fabric using screen printing ink and then she brushes on color using dyes. We end today's show with another "Save my UFO" segment, where Pokey offers some ideas on saving an unfinished quilt.
Exploring Modern Quilting
Quilting Arts has always taken a contemporary approach to quilting, but did you know there is an entire movement known as modern quilting? It's a new aesthetic with clean lines and a graphic style all its own. First up is Elizabeth Hartman with some unique quilt sandwiches and tips for quilt block math. Then, meet Heather Jones with a lesson on thread choices for modern quilting. We finish up with tips from Frieda Anderson. Learn constructing on the point and color wheel theory, on a sofa quilt.
Studio Play!
The creative process is not always a straight line from point "a" to point "b". A big part of design is learning how to play! Ginny Eckley starts us out with a way to combine several surface designs, a twist on pleating, and tie dye with soy wax. Then, meet Jane LaFazio for working and playing with stencils. We finish up with Carol Ann Waugh and discovering the hidden stitches in your sewing machine. Learn how to adjust or play with stitch width and length to create new decorative stitches.
Innovative Stitch Techniques
Whether you're embellishing, joining or quilting - stitching is one of the most important parts of any quilt project. On today's show we begin with Libby Lehman and bobbin drawing. Learn how to adjust any bobbin for sewing with thicker decorative threads. Then, meet Wendy Butler Berns for a lesson on "taming your tension". It can make all the difference in sewing thru multiple layers and using different fabrics. Finally, Jane Novinsky joins us for a design lesson on designing modern quilts using soft ware.
Art Meets Tradition
The lines keep blurring between various types of design. Design trends evolve and elements of traditional quilting find their place in modern design, and art quilting influences some very traditional looks. On today's show the two styles meet with great results. We begin with Ginny Eckley for a lesson on frameless screen printing, an easy way to try out printing. Then, Sherry Rogers Harrison joins us with a trapunto project with great dimension. Finally Angela Walters shows us dot to dot quilting; a technique that uses the block itself as a guide for quilting.
Diy Quilt Studio and Organization Ideas
Organizing and cleaning up your work space is a great way to jump start your creativity. We begin with a return visit from Libby Lehman and must- have sewing essentials for your sewing studio: your own quilting survival kit! Then, Pokey Bolton creates fabric covered cans for storing your studio goodies and using up some of your fabric stash. We finish up with Elizabeth Hartman and how to make a design wall and pressing board that are unique to your space.
Creative Approaches to Quilting
We all approach projects in our own way sometimes we start with a color, sometimes it's a technique, and sometimes we unearth a forgotten supply to get us motivated. Libby Lehman is back with her favorite presser feet. Then, meet Luana Rubin for a discussion of quilting styles from around the world. Finally, Carol Ann Waugh introduces us to easy and fun hand embroidery techniques for surface embellishment.
Modern Quilting and Modern Stitching Explored
The modern quilt aesthetic has many elements that identify its style and we'll take a look at a few of them today. We begin with Penny McMorris and AnneMarie Chaney, and a project that interprets modern quilts and offers a design challenge. Then Angela Walters demonstrates traditional quilting designs with a modern twist. Finally, Libby Lehman returns with sewing in circles and using your circular sewing attachment.
Focus On Stitch
This episode focuses on stitching. It's a recurring theme this season and is an important part to just about every quilting project. Frieda Anderson starts out with a primer on free motion quilting - learn the basics to get started. Then, Wendy Butler Berns is back to show us the wonders of the walking foot and how it's used in your projects. We finish up with Jane LaFazio and project "paisley fever" using painters tape and taking your project from sketchbook to cloth.
Nift-y, Quilt-y Techniques
We couldn't' think of a better word than nifty to describe today's projects; they're surprising, innovative, and different! Ellen Anne Eddy is up first with corded button hole binding; it's a unique and nifty design element. Then, meet designer Debra Quartermain for quick and easy dying techniques for wool, plus a pattern for some very adorable owls. Finally, Elizabeth Hartman shows us simple paper foundation piecing. She uses copy paper to neatly piece skinny strips of fabric.
Stitch Meets Art
Stitching can be its own art form and transform your quilt design. Our first guest is Ellen Anne Eddy. She has a basic lesson on darning feet and also tips for choosing batting. Then, meet Laura Wasilowski as she "arts" up a traditional quilt block with fusible web. We finish up with Carol Ann Waugh and adding texture to quilted pieces with couching.
Adding Texture
There are many different materials and techniques for giving your quilts added texture. Ellen Anne Eddy is back with a continuation of last week's lesson. She has unique ideas on couching including a discussion of the feet to use. Then, Jane LaFazio returns with "text to textiles". From writing on fabric to a journal prompt, Jane will get you texting. Finally Wendy Butler Berns helps us overcome the fear of free motion quilting. It's really easy; but that first try is a little intimidating as you forget everything you've learned about stitching.
Stitch Designs In Quilting
Whether by hand or machine, there is an endless array of patterns and designs to enhance your quilts. Laura Wasilowski starts out with tips for adding hand stitches to abstract quilt blocks for texture and style. Then, Angela Walters introduces the "tiles" quilt design in free motion. We finish up with special guest Sophie Rubin and a young perspective as she visits a quilt show and chooses some of her favorite designs.
Quilter's Mishmash
We finish up this season with a quilter's mish mash, our "technical term" for some very unusual and different techniques to round out this season. Favorite stitcher Libby Lehman is back with expert tips to change your satin stitching from mediocre to magnificent. Then, celebrate the season with some festive fabric flags. Elizabeth Hartman finishes up with wonky piecing tricks. Learn how to make a block with wonky seams on the inside but nice straight edges on the outside.
Paint a Picture
We combine artist and quilter with amazing results. Appearing first is Ana Buzzalino. She starts out with simple landscapes created with stitch and paint. You'll learn how to cut and sew shallow curves without marking or pinning and then move on to the design, quilting and finally, painting of your landscape. Next is Cheryl Sleboda and simple cartooning for quilters. This is a demonstration on how to draw a cartoon face – even if you have no drawing skills, and then how to turn the fusible pieces into a quilt. We close with Judy Coates Perez and how to paint gradations on fabric with textile paints.

Quilting around the House
Art quilts are not just for hanging on the wall. Contemporary quilting can be found all around the house. We begin with guest artist Sue Bleiweiss as she adds a touch of whimsy to your table with a house themed table runner. Then, meet Cheryl Sleboda and a scrap buster project. Since quilters can make a cover for just about anything - why not an artful air freshener cozy? Last is designer Debbie Grifka and a quick project. We're making contemporary coasters.

This month ONL [Oosterhuis_Lénárd] handed the CET Building over to the City of Budapest, who will use the mixed-use space for restaurants, bars, design-oriented shops, events, conferences, concerts and much more. The building was named through a city-wide contest, where the public thought the building's shape reminded them of a whale. Located at the Közraktárak between the Petofi and the Szabadság Bridge, the CET Building is the only one built directly at the embankments of the Danube river with only bike paths and terraces. Busy roads separate the rest of the city from the river, so the CET building has a unique connection with the river as well as the adjacent Nehru Park.
Two historic warehouses were carefully renovated to form the foundation of the new mixed-use building. ONL made use of BIM to design the glass atrium to connect the two historic spaces. Glass and aluminum panels were carefully placed to maximize daylight and minimize overheating inside the atrium space. The project was awarded the Autodesk BIM Experience Award for its use of Building Information Modeling Process for innovative Mass-Customization and File-2-Factory production process and was also featured as a hero project on the 2010 edition of Revit Architecture. The CET Building is an impressive project that not only renovates historic buildings, but uses innovative architecture and technology to create a useful mixed-use space and improve urban spaces for the public.

It's funny why I know this building. A design graphic of it was used as the cover art for Autodesk Revit 2010. Ha.

Most wild animals die traumatic death
WTOP's Michelle Basch reports. (Runs 1:26)
What are your experiences with deer? Post a comment in this story, comment on WTOP's Facebook Page or use #WTOP on Twitter.
Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - The National Park Service says its plan to hunt deer in Rock Creek Park to reduce their population will be done as humanely as possible.
NPS says any deer injured during the process will be euthanized as quickly as possible.
Rob Gibbs with The Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission Montgomery Parks says if the deer are not shot, the alternatives aren't good.
"The other side of the equation is, what would happen if we weren't killing the deer, and ultimately the population goes up to the point where they are eating out their food supply, and they become unhealthy. Starvation is certainly one of the options there, that's not a particularly pleasant way to die," says Gibbs.
Montgomery County averages about 2,000 car crashes a year due to deer.
"The other thing to consider, and people don't like to hear this, the simple truth is it's not a Walt Disney movie out there. Most wild animals die a traumatic, painful death," says Gibbs.
"They're captured by a predator, in the case of deer, they're hit by a car. They get a disease. They starve to death. None of those by human standards are a pleasant way to die. So the reality is being shot is not a bad way to go."
Carol Grunewald, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, disagrees.
"This is not what we want in the nation's capital. This is a world-class city. People are civilized here, and we would really like to move on to the 21st century and use rational, scientific technology that we have at our disposal," says Grunewald.
"We don't need to go back into the dark ages and kill, kill, kill."

Is there something about acting talent or being beautiful that is equal to knowledge? We guess there must be, because having celebrities endorse products is big business the world over. It is simply amazing to me that Victoria Principal can convince women that they can have great skin like she does by using her skin-care routine. In fact, Victoria Principal's infomercial is one of the most successful ever.
Victoria Principal's skin-care products were originally formulated and manufactured by Aida Thibiant, a Beverly Hills aesthetician who ran a successful skin-care boutique and cosmetics manufacturing business there for years. Because the Guthy Renker Corporation that markets and distributes the line felt they no longer needed Thibiant to establish Principal's credentials, they severed ties with her in 1995. That isn't good or bad, it just means it isn't Principal's own skin-care genius behind these products.
This is a line with deals, or at least that's what they appear to be on the surface. Look a little deeper and these are just expensive products, and the deals are smoke and mirrors. You can buy groups of products for what appears to be a much-reduced price, but if you really don't need all those products, or if some of them are poorly formulated (like many of the sunscreens, products for blemish-prone skin, and moisturizers) you would be wasting your money, and that's no bargain.
The big deal with this brand today is the Reclaim line. Almost all of the Principal Secret Reclaim products contain the ingredient acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline), an ingredient in many of the products that claim to work like Botox. Indirectly, the same claim is used for these products, which promise to soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles that result from repeated facial expressions, which is what Botox injections accomplish brilliantly. As a brief review of what we have previously written about Argireline, this peptide is synthetically derived, and supposedly has the ability to relax muscles that would normally contract to form the facial expressions that lead to wrinkles. According to the ingredient manufacturer, it does this by modifying the release of catecholamines, which are compounds that occur naturally in the body and serve as neurotransmitters, such as epinephrine, adrenaline, and dopamine. However, you would not want a cosmetic to affect any of those substances, because if it did, it could lead to a host of new problems.
Despite Principal Secret's enthusiasm for this ingredient, there is still no substantiated proof that it works as claimed. Further, we don't know the long-term adverse effects of applying acetyl hexapeptide-3 to skin. If it really worked to relax facial muscles, it would work all over the face (assuming you're using the products, and this line contains dozens of them, as directed) (Source: Cosmetic Dermatology, July 2005, pages 521–524). If all the muscles in your face were relaxed from topical application of acetyl hexapeptide-3, you'd have sagging, not youthful, skin. But then no cosmetics company would ever put such a claim on their products!
The makeup from Principal Secret isn't anything special. There are some good products, but nothing that cannot be found for less money at the drugstore. A strong point for color: it is well edited and designed to be simple, which many women will appreciate.
For more information on the products, feel free to visit their website www.principalsecret.com.
I have used this product for years on occasional breakouts. It is amazing. All of my blemishes are gone usually after 2 nights of application. I have recently developed rosacea. My dermatologist recommended my using a generic cream that cost $125.00. I applied my blemish buster solution and the rosacea disappeared in 3 days.
I have used this product for many years and absolutely love it! I am no chemist but this product works for the occasional breakout. I get "bumps" under the skin on my cheeks. Blemish Buster makes them go away. Great product!

Blanchard Public Library
Travel to ancient times with Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art's library presentation
Sporting a collection of artwork unique to Oklahoma and even this part of the country, the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art will give local teens a chance to experience an era gone by in its program at the Blanchard Public Library, at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 19.
The museum has worked for years with the library system's Pottawatomie County branches in Shawnee, Tecumseh and McLoud, but this year expands for a full tour that will include a look into the mummification process that was so common in ancient Egypt and is a big part of the Mabee-Gerrer collection.
"That's one of the things that separate us, we will actually be taking ancient artifacts that students can handle with our study collection," said Donna Merkt, Curator of Education at the museum. "It makes a difference actually getting to see and hold something as opposed to just hearing about it. It's kind of like taking the museum right to them.

Now here's the interesting part about that particular piece of ignorance: I follow the news more than most people. So why don't I know the answer to the most important question in this election?
I know all about lapel pins and fist pumps and gaffes and ministers. I have a pretty good idea where the candidates are on most irrelevant issues. But I don't know if independent economists have a consensus on who would be the best president, economy-wise.
The best I could find on the Internet in a quick search was a list of (presumably) Democrat economists supporting Obama and a list of (presumably) Republican economists supporting McCain. Does that really tell me anything?
Obama Economists
McCain Economists
Do you know whose side most independent economists are on, or do you pretend you have that sort of expertise yourself?
I expect some people will leave comments to this post along the lines of "It is obvious that (one of the candidates) has the best economic policy because he will do (whatever) and the other guy won't!" Unfortunately, economics is not common sense. It's a mix of science, calculus, chaos, expectations, and voodoo. In other words, if you think you understand economics, that's proof that you don't.
Here's the question of the day: Who do you think would be the best president for improving the economy, and what makes you an expert on economics?

Pop Peth Music & Me
The Pop Peth exhbition in Oriel 1, St Fagans:National history Museum ends on January 10th, so there's still time to come and look at Gari Melville's superb collection of memorabilia, play Llwybr Llaethog's keyboard, see how a fanzine is made, learn about Spillers Records, watch music videos and leave your memories of your best gig ever!
We've been getting some lovely memories of best gigs and here are a few of my favourites....
Ashley McAvoy went to see Super Furry Animals in Clwb Ifor Bach in 1994, Nicola Stingl walked into Stuart Cable (previously of Stereophonics), Liz Magee saw The Beatles in the early 1960s but couldn't hear them because of all the screaming, Irwin Richards played tambourine with Supertramp (even though he wasn't invited to...), Beth Thomas saw CSN&Y, The Band and Joni Mitchell in Wembley in 1974, Jared lost his shoe at an Oasis concert in 1996, and lost three days in Glastonbury...Kevin Williams sat next to Robert Plant for an entire football match (Barry Town v UWIC), Stu saw Lift to Experience in Barfly in 2002, and as well as walking into Stuart Cable, Nicola Stingl also goes out with the guitarist in Through Solace. And my absolute favourite of today's bunch of best gigs goes to Laura Kemp who saw Motley Crue in the Cardiff International Arena in 2005 and writes 'I fainted when I saw Nikki Sixx for the first time.'

Cash reaches educational goal as executive director of John Jay Center
When Cindy Cash set a special goal in a class one day; she didn't realize that her aspiration was more like a prophecy than a statement.
Cash was in a class with Brian Ison, who serves on the board of the John Jay Center. She made the statement, "some day I would like to run the John Jay Center for Learning."
When the position later opened, Ison suggested that Cash consider applying. She did and she was chosen for the position out of 39 applicants.
"God has always put me where I need to be," said Cash. "It's a God-thing. When I worked at the Jay County Hospital, it was during a time when my parents had health issues.
