Head to Texas to investigate the murder of a woman who had been embroiled in a bitter divorce.
- Hosted by veteran journalist Bill Kurtis.
- The landmark criminal justice series examines cases that push the law.
- A convicted killer professes his innocence from Texas' death row.
The gold standard of criminal justice programs, AMERICAN JUSTICE® has tackled the toughest issues for over a decade. Examining cases that challenge and change the law through the eyes and words of police, victims and perpetrators, AMERICAN JUSTICE® offers a rare, inside view that illuminates the complex legal principles at stake.
Farah Fratta was shot in the head twice by a masked assailant when leaving her garage on November 9, 1994. Fratta had been embroiled in a messy divorce, and suspicion soon centered on her husband.
THE BRIT AND THE BODYBUILDER reports that detectives discovered that Farah's divorce papers alleged that Bob was a sexual deviant and a threat to their children's safety.
After a six-month investigation police found enough evidence to arrest Fratta and two men he'd allegedly hired. All three were convicted and sentenced to death, though they continue to profess their innocence.

Hard freeze could benefit area fields
Most field activity now includes working ground and applying fertilizer and lime, says Jeff Lehman of Lehman Feed Mill. Lehman said that a few fields of corn are being harvested but a huge part of this year's harvest is completed.
"This year's harvest, especially beans, was much better than anyone would have dreamed when it was so hot and dry in July," said Lehman. "Even some of the corn was fairly decent. Of course, there were also fields of corn that were poor."
Lehman said that one disappointment of this fall was the lack of wheat that was planted because of wet fields.
"We didn't get as much wheat in this fall as I had hoped for," Lehman said. "Much of that was because bean harvest was broken up because of frequent rain during harvest."
Lehman said that most farmers were so happy with their bean harvest that they probably were willing to be patient to get in the good crop.
One of the problems some farmers may be facing right now is compacted ground due to the huge and heavy machinery doing harvest on wet ground.
"There are some pretty good ruts out there," said Lehman. "We need a hard freeze and a good snow cover to protect the wheat. If I had my will, I would call for a hard freeze and a good snow cover this winter."
Lehman said that fulfillment of such a winter wish would help loosen compacted soil for next spring's field work.
Early indications are that a hard freeze could be hard to come by, at least in the earlier parts of winter. Long-range forecasts for the next three months are calling for near normal moisture but warmer than normal temperatures.
"That's certainly true in the near future," said weather specialist Rick McCoy, who said that when cold air started settling in earlier this week he thought it might be the beginning of the first siege of winter weather.
"It doesn't look that way now," said McCoy. "The jet stream is changing again and it appears that we are going to moderate out of this early cold snap. We could see temperatures close to 60 degrees over the weekend and early next week.
"In late summer, it looked like a strong El Nino was starting to form and could shape our winter," said McCoy. "Now it doesn't look like it is doing that much so National Weather Service officials aren't quite sure what to expect this winter. There seems to be a consensus among weather officials that we could have another mild winter this year."

Hi All, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Bridget and I've just rescued a pup this week that I'm told is a mix of pit and possibly Lab. Amos is 8 wks old and weighs a whopping 7 lbs . The vet thinks he could stand to gain another pound before we come back in a few wks. Amos travelled with a group of pups and adults from Tenn that were rescued from a kill shelter and brought to WI. All the adults were pits and I was told one was his momma.
I also have a 6 yr old German Sheperd named Grace who I rescued 3 yrs ago. Shes not very interested in Amos, as much as he tries but she likes laying on the blanket he plays on with him.
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions because I can already see some signs dominance in Amos, which we're already addressing.

Sidi Five Men's Shoes $289.95
The new face of Genius.
The Genius 5. You may have heard of it. Or seen them on the feet of countless cyclists atop countless podiums worldwide. It's the best-selling shoe in Sidi's impressive cycling shoe stable. In continuing those traditions, the new Sidi Five Shoe delivers many of the same characteristics as its Genius predecessor, while adding in a few marked improvements.
Unchanged from the Genius is the Five's superlative fit constructed around its robust Lorica upper. Like many synthetic leathers but without the downsides, Lorica quickly conforms to foot profiles, is highly breathable, and will not stretch. In addition, Lorica is water repellent, highly abrasion resistant, easy to clean, and it won't rot or dry out. Sidi combines Lorica with ballistic mesh in key areas of the shoe enhance its comfort, fit, and ventilation properties.
New to the Five is Sidi's Eleven Carbon Composite Sole. This proprietary and lightweight sole is constructed from a layered 3k weave of carbon fiber together with a matrix of Nylon 12, which ensures the sole doesn't change shape after prolonged exposure to heat or humidity. Most impressive about the Eleven sole is how exceptionally stiff it remains — a full 20% stiffer than the Genius soles--despite its composite construction. But more importantly, even with the uptick in stiffness, the toe area of the shoe offers a subtle degree of controlled flex to biomechanically relieve stress in the plantar tendon as you ride. If overly stiff shoes are a bane of triathletes in the transition areas, the Eleven Sole should be something of a godsend, as it prevents excessive soreness after long rides.
Sidi adds a ratcheting buckle so you can micro-adjust strap pressure to ensure that the fit of your upper won't be too loose or too tight. It's mated to a Soft Arch Compression Strap that more evenly spreads the upward stroke pedaling forces across the top of your foot. The buckle provides 4 clicks per uptake along with half-click releases, meaning that you can precisely tension the pressure of the strap. No other system so precisely and so gently provides custom fit. You also get the precision of two High Security Velcro straps per shoe. The Velcro is reinforced with integrated locking teeth to absolutely, positively resist slippage. Combine these straps with a molded plastic heel cup and you end up with unmatched security. Its padded tongue with fit 'relievers' is one final small (but important) detail that helps deliver unparalleled comfort.
The Sidi Five Shoes are available in the color Vernice Black and in half, full, and wide sizes from 38 to 48.

Not Impressed at All
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have tried these shoes in mega and even though the fit was decent I did not like the quality of insoles. It seems Sidi is too cheap to put a better foot-bed that won't have gaps and slide around while pedaling. My biggest problem with the shoes was the cleat position. Even with the SPD-SL cleat moved all the way back it felt that the pedal was not far enough back which was causing calf cramps. I ended up returning them and getting Lake shoes instead.
S McBean
Stormy at the beginning, then love
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I won't really give any other brand a chance, but the Sidi 5 is great as long as it fits. All the other high-star reviews here are correct as far as they go, I completely agree. The catch with Sidi is that the production variance is pretty high, so a Narrow might be the same as a Regular. I felt like I had to return this shoe too often before I finally found one that fit, even though they were all the exact same size. Once I find one that fits, it's great.
Robert Diaz
A fantastic fit, one way or another.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Im a large 6'3" rider and the most impressive thing about these shoes is their ability to conform to different shapes of feet even for the same size. I have a wider foot and its usually a challenge to find shoes that feel comfortable and efficient when you wear a size 13. I've purchased wide editions Shimano shoes in the past and I find that they are a bit too elongated so there is far too much room in front of the toe area when everything else is the correct position. These shoes on the other hand, have the perfect amount of room front to back and laterally without any pinching or rubbing.
Overall, the price is a bit steep, but the comfort is well worth it.
Chris W
finally a good fit
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I had an old cheap pair of sidis that unfortunately weren't the correct size. after dropping to a 42.5, im a US 10 in most gym shoes, these fit well. no sliding, good securement, the ratcheting buckle is phenomenal and that little bit of adjusting either way makes a big difference when its just bit tight or a bit loose. I haven't put many miles on them yet as its cold in Chicago but so far im glad I got them.
Incredible shoes!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased a pair of these in a size 42 mega and after putting well over a thousand miles on them they are most comfortable cycling shoes I've owned. I have very wide feet that have been likened to Fred Flintstone's so these have been an excellent addition to my equipment. Several years ago I purchased a pair of Sidi mountain shoes in a 42.5 for additional width but they have not fit correctly despite a lot of effort. As another review mentioned the megas are quite wide and the toe box is large but what it also allows for is the use of anatomic insoles to customize the fit. Now that I have these I keep asking myself why I waited so long to buy the megas but with the upgrades to this year's shoes it was a win-win. The shoes are stiff, fit like a glove and more importantly very comfortable.
Andrew Swindle
Love this shoe
Sidi doesn't mess around with their shoes and this is no exception. The upper is solid and has very little to no stretch in it. I usually wear a 42 in euro sizing and had to go with the 42.5 in this shoe do to width. It isn't narrow, but my foot is wide, but not quite wide enough to go with the wide version of the shoe. Keeping the lower two Velcro closures loose while cranking down on the top click buckle provides plenty of comfort while maintaining the great stability. The composite carbon sole is stiff and ready to grind. I've been very impressed with this shoe over the course of the first 100 miles.

NFPA 306: Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels, 2009 Edition
|Item # 30609
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
Apply the 2009 NFPA 306 to reduce fire and explosion risks aboard marine vessels and in shipyards.
Essential to fire and life safety, NFPA 306: Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels provides minimum requirements and conditions for use in determining that a space or area on a vessel, or in a shipyard or ship repair facility, is safe for entry or work. It specifies safety requirements for vessels carrying or burning as fuel flammable or combustible liquids, and also applies to vessels carrying or having carried flammable compressed gases, chemicals in bulk, or other products capable of creating a hazardous condition. NFPA 306 is the standard of practice that NFPA®-certificated Marine Chemists must follow in carrying out their duties where required by regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor/ OSHA and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The 2009 edition is based on new data and critical lessons learned:
- Revised definition of adjacent spaces now includes areas affected by hot work and where slag, products of combustion, or sparks would be expected to fall or accumulate.
- The term "vessel" is expanded to include floating structures not primarily designed as a means of transportation on water such as offshore drilling, production, and/or storage vessels.
- Added definitions address the terms host employer, contract employer, and multi-employer workplace
Also includes revised requirements necessary for obtaining a Marine Chemist's Certificate and the requirements for maintaining the Certificate. This edition of NFPA 306 is essential for everyone concerned with or responsible for marine fire and life safety or contracting aboard marine vessels or in shipyards. (Softbound, 22 pp., 2009)

Armory doesnt work at the moment (no I'll not make any comments on your gear) but here are some advices I can give you:
1. Setup in ToC hc is gamebreaking and can make the fight from very easy to very hard. The hardest possible setup is probably Warrior + Rogue + Hunter since you are going to take sh*t loads of damage.
2. The most important thing for ToC hc is good dps. With low dps (around 2k) you can pretty much forget clearing this instance unless you and the healer are really good. So next time check the dps and gear of ppl you dod the instance with, if they are wearing only blues/greens you can leave the group and tell them to gear up first. This will save you ton of frustration.
3. Back to your setup - rogue + warrior. It's crucial to kill rogue asap. Warrior (and it might be surprising to some of you) doesn't do that much damage unless he starts to use whirlwind. So the plan is - you kill rogue first then you kill warrior. Cooldown usage for this fight is very important! You don't want to waste your IBF for nothing - save it for the first whirlwind. On the 2nd whirlwind you use VB + mark of blood on warrior a bit earlier. On the 3rd whirlwind rogue should be pretty much down so single rune tap should easily put away all the stress here.
The last advice I can give you is to use D'n'D at the begining + double desise + pestilience. This will make sure all 3 enemies are glued to you. I have seen many wipes in this battle simply because 3rd target was attacking healer and he couldn't fully focus on healing the tank.
To make things easier you can ask a rogue from your group to dismantle/stunlock the rogue so he doesnt makes that much damage.
I hope it helps.

10/24 & 10/25 in Yankee History
(I'm starting out on a road trip across Europe this afternoon & don't expect to be near a computer tomorrow, so today you get two days for the price of one).
On the 24th, then…
2000: The Mets defeat the Yankees' 4-2' behind the pitching of Rick Reed and their bullpen. Benny Agbayani's 8th inning double is the key hit for the Queensiders as they cut the Yankees lead in the Series to 2-games-to-1. Orlando Hernandez fans 12 but loses his first postseason game after 8 wins. The loss ends the Yankees record streak of 14 consecutive wins in World Series action.
1999: The Yankees defeat the Braves 7-2 to take a 2-games-to-0 lead in the Series. David Cone holds Atlanta to one hit and no runs in 7 innings. Bernie Williams gets 3 hits for NY' while 5 of his teammates get 2 apiece. Braves' starter Kevin Millwood gets battered for 8 hits and 5 runs (4 earned) in 2 innings of work.
1996: The Yankees take their 3rd straight game in Atlanta' defeating the Braves 1-0. Andy Pettitte records the win' while John Wetteland gets his 3rd save. John Smoltz is the hard-luck loser in the tense pitchers' duel.
1988: Less than a year after signing him as a free agent' the Yankees trade 1B-DH Jack Clark to the Padres with pitcher Pat Clements for pitchers Lance McCullers and Jimmy Jones, and outfielder Stan Jefferson
1981: Another come-from-behind victory for LA, 8-7' helped by poor Yankee defense in the outfield' ties the Series at 2 games apiece. George Frazier takes his second loss for the Bombers.
1963: Yogi Berra is appointed manager of the Yankees.
1951: UPI names Casey Stengel as Manager of the Year.
1939: Despite having missed 32 games' the AL MVP is Joe DiMaggio' with Jimmie Foxx the runner-up' in the BBWAA poll. DiMag has 280 points' while Foxx draws 170.
…and on the 25th:
The red-letter day -
2009: After a rainout the night before kept the Anaheim Angels still alive in the ALCS, their string runs out, even if Gary Matthews, Jr.'s swing and miss at Mariano Rivera's cutter that ended the game actually occurs at one minute past midnight (and therefore technically October 26). Andy Pettitte pitches into the seventh for the win, Johnny Damon's 4th-inning two-run double gives the Yanks a lead they will not relinquish, and Mark Teixeira crowns a two-run eighth with a sac fly in the 5-2 Yankee win that sends the club to the World Series for the 40th time. Chuck Mangione played the National Anthem before the game, and Bernie Williams threw out the ceremonial first pitch.
On other 25ths of October…
2006: Derek Jeter is named the AL winner of the Hank Aaron Award as best overall hitter. Ryan Howard of the Phillies is the winner for the Senior Circuit.
2003: The Marlins win their second world championship as World Series MVP Josh Beckett hurls a 5-hit shutout in defeating the Yankees 2-0 in Game 6 of the Series. Luis Castillo's 5th-inning single brings home Florida's 1st run' and the only one Beckett needs as he outduels Andy Pettitte. Thus the Marlins conclude their second winning season in the past 11 years in the same manner in which they
concluded their first winning season.
2000: The Yankees defeat the Mets' 3-2' to take a commanding 3-games-to-1 lead in the World Series. Derek Jeter homers off Bobby Jones on the 1st pitch of the game for the Bronx Bombers. The Yankee bullpen saves the game with 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief. Mike Piazza's 2-run homer accounts for all the Mets scoring.
Off the field, Darryl Strawberry is arrested and jailed after leaving a treatment center following a weekend drug binge.
1981: In World Series action in L.A., back-to-back homers by Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager off Yankee ace Ron Guidry are enough to give the Dodgers their 3rd consecutive win, 2-1.
Off the field, George Steinbrenner scuffles with 2 (he says) fans in a hotel elevator after the game and emerges with a fat lip and a broken hand.
1924: Bobby Brown, Yankee 3rd baseman of the late '40s and early '50s, is born. Brown, who graduated from medical school with a specialty in cardiology, also served as AL President after his playing days. Happy 88th to Doctor Bob!

Track lights
Track Lighting, a term generally applied to the three adjustable lighting systems; Track Lighting, Cable Lighting and Rail Lighting, can act as an electrical distribution system, putting light where it is needed. Hence track lighting provides a number of light sources but requires only one power source which can be controlled.
Track lighting is advisable for many applications where there is a need for adjustable lighting and flexibility in amount of fixtures.
With track lighting, one flexible lighting system can provide general, task and accent lighting. The lighting scheme is completely versatile in that the track and individual fixtures can be moved, swiveled, rotated and aimed in almost any direction. This adaptability of the track lighting fixtures enables users to create the lighting theme they desire by simply pointing the light where it is required. At any time, the presentation can be changed by redirecting the light or by adding or removing fixtures.
Track lighting systems incorporate a track where the electrical wires are stored, while allowing for individual lights to hang down along the track. The simple electrical design is what makes track and cable lighting so artful and decorative. Track and cable systems are relatively easy to install and also allow to illuminate areas that otherwise would be hard to light because of different limitations.
Louie Lighting is your greatest source of professional lighting service for Track, Cable and Rail Lighting in many types, styles and brands. Choose from the best Track Lighting systems manufacturers like Tech Lighting, Translite Systems, Bruck Lighting, Eurofase track kits, LBL Fusion Monorail Systems, Tiella Track Lighting Systems, Wilmette Lighting and more.
Track lighting systems may be complicated to design and at times it would be advised to seek help. The Louie Lighting team of lighting professionals is here to serve you with all of your track lighting needs, just call or email us anytime.

The Great Amateur
Alexander Herzen, like Diderot, was an amateur of genius whose opinions and activities changed the direction of social thought in his country. Like Diderot too, he was a brilliant and irrepressible talker. He talked equally well in Russian and French to his intimate friends and in the Moscow salons, and later in his life in Russian, German, French, in Paris, Nice, London, Geneva—always in an overwhelming flow of ideas and images; the loss to posterity (as with Diderot) is probably immense; he had no Boswell, no Eckermann, to record his conversation, nor would he have suffered such a relationship. His prose is essentially a form of talk, with the vices and virtues of talk: eloquent, spontaneous, liable to the heightened tones and exaggerations of the born storyteller unable to resist long digressions which themselves carry him into a network of intersecting tributaries of memory or speculation, but always returning to the main stream of the story or the argument. Above all, his prose has the vitality of spoken words—it appears to owe nothing to the carefully composed formal sentences of the French philosophes whom he admired or to the terrible philosophical style of the Germans from whom he learned. We hear his voice—almost too much—in the essays, the pamphlets, the autobiography, as much as in the letters and scraps of notes to his friends.
Civilized, imaginative, self-critical, Herzen was a marvelously gifted social observer; the record of what he saw is unique, even in the articulate nineteenth century. He had an acute, easily stirred, and ironical mind, a fiery and poetical temperament, and a capacity for vivid, often lyrical, writing—qualities that combined and reinforced one another in the succession of sharp vignettes of men, events, ideas, personal relationships, political situations, and descriptions of entire forms of life in which his writings abound. He was a man of extreme refinement and sensibility, great intellectual energy and biting wit, easily irritated amour propre, and a taste for polemical writing; he was addicted to analysis, investigation, exposure; he saw himself as an expert "unmasker" of appearances and conventions, and dramatized himself as a devastating discoverer of their social and moral core. Tolstoy, who had little sympathy with Herzen's opinions, and was not given to excessive praise of his contemporaries among men of letters, especially among his countrymen, said toward the end of his life that he had never met anyone with "so rare a combination of scintillating brilliance and depth." These gifts make a good many of Herzen's essays, political articles, day-to-day journalism, causal notes and reviews, and especially letters written to intimates or to political correspondents, irresistibly readable even today, when the issues with which they were concerned are for the most part dead and of interest mainly to historians.
Although much has been written about Herzen, and not only in Russian, the task of his biographers has not been made easier by the fact that he left an incomparable memorial to himself in his own greatest work—translated by Constance Garnett as My Past and Thoughts—a literary masterpiece worthy of being placed by the side of the novels of his contemporaries and countrymen, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Dostoevsky. Nor were they altogether unaware of this. Turgenev, an intimate and life-long friend (the fluctuations of their personal relationship were important in the lives of both; this complex and interesting story has never been adequately told) admired him both as a writer and as a revolutionary journalist. The celebrated critic Vissarion Belinsky discovered, described, and acclaimed his extraordinary literary gift when they were both young and relatively unknown. Even the angry and suspicious Dostoevsky excepted him from the virulent hatred with which he regarded pro-Western Russian revolutionaries, recognized the poetry of his writing, and remained well-disposed toward him until the end of his life. As for Tolstoy, he delighted both in his society and his writings: half a century after their first meeting in London he still remembered the scene vividly.1
It is strange that this remarkable writer, in his lifetime a celebrated European figure, the admired friend of Michelet, Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Victor Hugo, long canonized in his own country not only as a revolutionary but as one of its greatest men of letters, is, even today, not much more than a name in the West. The enjoyment to be obtained from reading his prose—for the most part still untranslated—makes this a strange and gratuitous loss.
ALEXANDER HERZEN was born in Moscow on April 6, 1812, some months before the great fire that destroyed the city during Napoleon's occupation after the battle of Borodino. His father, Ivan Alexandrovich Yakovlev, came of an ancient family distantly related to the Romanov dynasty. Like other rich and well-born members of the Russian gentry, he had spent some years abroad, and, during one of his journeys, met, and took back to Moscow with him, the daughter of a minor Württemberg official, Luise Haag, a gentle, submissive, somewhat colorless girl, a good deal younger than himself. For some reason, perhaps owing to the disparity in their social positions, he never married her according to the rites of his own Church. Yakovlev was a member of the Orthodox Church, she remained a Lutheran.2 He was a proud, independent, disdainful man, and had grown increasingly morose and misanthropic. He retired before the war of 1812, and at the time of the French invasion was living in bitter and resentful idleness in his house in Moscow. During the French occupation he was recognized by Marshal Mortier, whom he had known in Paris, and agreed—in return for a safe conduct enabling him to take his family out of the devasted city—to carry a message from Napoleon to the Emperor Alexander. For this indiscretion he was sent back to his estates and only allowed to return to Moscow somewhat later.
In his large and gloomy house in the Arbat he brought up his son Alexander, to whom he had given the surname Herzen, as if to stress the fact that he was the child of an irregular liaison, an affair of the heart. Luise Haag was never accorded the full status of a wife, but the boy had every attention lavished upon him. He received the normal education of a young Russian nobleman of his time, that is to say, he was looked after by a host of nurses and serfs, and taught by private tutors, German and French, carefully chosen by his neurotic, irritable, devoted, suspicious father. Every care was taken to develop his gifts. He was a lively and imaginative child and absorbed knowledge easily and eagerly. His father loved him after his fashion: more, certainly, than his other son, also illegitimate, born ten years earlier, whom he had christened Yegor (George). But he was, by the 1820s, a defeated and gloomy recluse, unable to communicate with his family or indeed anyone else. Shrewd, honorable, and neither unfeeling nor unjust, a "difficult" character like old Prince Bolkonsky in Tolstoy's War and Peace, Ivan Yakovlev emerges from his son's recollections a self-lacerating, grim, shut-in, half-frozen human being, who terrorized his household with his whims and his sarcasm. He kept all doors and windows locked, the blinds permanently drawn, and, apart from a few old friends and his own brothers, saw virtually nobody. In later years his son described him as the product of "the encounter of two such incompatible things as the eighteenth century and Russian life"—a collision of cultures that had destroyed a good many among the more sensitive members of the Russian gentry in the reigns of Catherine II and her successors.
The boy escaped with relief from his father's oppressive and frightening company to the rooms occupied by his mother and the servants; she was kind and unassuming, crushed by her husband, frightened by her foreign surroundings, and seemed to accept her almost Oriental status in the household with uncomplaining resignation. As for the servants, they were serfs from the Yakovlev estates, trained to behave obsequiously to the son and probable heir of their master. Herzen himself, in later years, attributed the deepest of all his social feelings, concern for the freedom and dignity of human individuals (which his friend, the critic Belinsky, diagnosed so accurately), to the barbarous conditions that surrounded him in childhood. He was a favorite child, and much spoiled; but the facts of his irregular birth and of his mother's status were brought home to him by listening to the servants' gossip and, on at least one occasion, by overhearing a conversation about himself between his father and one of his old army comrades. The shock was, according to his own testimony, profound. It was probably one of the determining factors of his life.
He was taught Russian literature and history by a young university student, an enthusiastic follower of the new Romantic movement, which, particularly in its German form, had then begun to dominate Russian intellectual life. He learned French (which his father wrote more easily than Russian) and German (which he spoke with his mother) and European, rather than Russian, history—his tutor was a French refugee who had emigrated to Russia after the French Revolution. The Frenchman did not reveal his political opinions, so Herzen tells us, until one day, when his pupil asked him why Louis XVI had been executed; to this he replied in an altered voice, "Because he was a traitor to his country," and, finding the boy responsive, threw off his reserve and spoke to him openly about the liberty and equality of men. Herzen was a lonely child, at once pampered and cramped, lively and bored; he read voraciously in his father's large library, especially French books of the Enlightenment. He was fourteen when the leaders of the Decembrist conspiracy were hanged by the Emperor Nicholas I. He later declared that this event was the critical turning point of his life; whether this was so or not, the memory of these aristocratic martyrs in the cause of Russian constitutional liberty later became a sacred symbol to him, as to many others of his class and generation, and affected him for the rest of his days. He tells us that a few years after this, he and his intimate friend Nick Ogaryov, standing on the Sparrow hills above Moscow, took a solemn "Hannibalic" oath to avenge these fighters for the rights of man and to dedicate their own lives to the cause for which they had died.
In due course he became a student at the University of Moscow, read Schiller and Goethe, and somewhat later the French utopian socialists, Saint-Simon, Fourier, and other social prophets whose works were smuggled into Russia in defiance of the censorship, and became a convinced and passionate radical. He and Ogaryov belonged to a group of students who read forbidden books and discussed dangerous ideas. For this he was, together with most other "unreliable" students, duly arrested and, probably because he declined to repudiate the views imputed to him, condemned to imprisonment. His father used all his influence to get the sentence mitigated, but could not save his son from being exiled to the provincial city of Vyatka, near the borders of Asia, where he was not indeed kept in prison, but put to work in the local administration.

P. Sergeyenko, in his book on Tolstoy, says that Tolstoy told him in 1908 that he had a very clear recollection of his visit to Herzen in his London house in March 1861. "Lev Nikolaevich remembered him as a not very large, plump little man, who generated electric energy. 'Lively, responsive, intelligent, interesting,' Lev Nikolaevich explained (as usual illustrating every shade of meaning by appropriate movements of his hands) 'Herzen at once began talking to me as if we had known each other for a long time. I found his personality enchanting. I have never met a more attractive man. He stood head and shoulders above all the politicians of his own and of our time.' " (P. Sergeyenko, Tolstoi i ego sovremenniki, Moscow, 1911, pp. 13-14.)↩
There is evidence, although it is not conclusive, that she was married to him according to the Lutheran rite, not recognized by the Orthodox Church.↩

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Houston Dynamo advanced to their second straight MLS Cup final and fourth in seven years, tying D.C. United 1-1 Sunday for a 4-2 aggregate win in the Eastern Conference final.
Boniek Garcia scored in the 33rd minute for the Dynamo, which will play at the Los Angeles Galaxy or Seattle Sounders in the final on Dec. 1. The Galaxy, who beat Houston 1-0 in last year's final, held a 3-0 lead over the Sounders going into Sunday night's second leg of their home-and-home, total-goals series.
Branko Boskovic scored in the 83rd minute for D.C., which has not won the MLS Cup since 2004.

5/21 in Yankee History
2009: Joba Chamberlain is knocked out of the game in the first inning with a bruised right knee after being hit by a line drive off the bat of Adam Jones. The Yankees still defeat the Orioles, 7 – 4, as Robinson Cano drives in three runs. Alfredo Aceves pitches 3 ⅓ scoreless innings in relief of Chamberlain to earn the Bombers' 9th straight win.
2005: The Mets batter Randy Johnson for 9 hits in 3+ innings and beat the Yankees' 7-1. Kris Benson pitches into the 7th inning before being lifted for Dae-Sung Koo. Koo K's two and then in the bottom of the inning hits a double over Bernie Williams' head in center field. Koo goes to 3rd on a sac bunt and continues home when Jorge Posada is late covering the plate and scores sliding. Koo later admits he has not been on base in nearly 20 years.
1997: Roger Clemens fires Toronto past the Yankees' 4-1' for his 8th win of the year against no losses. The Rocket wins his 200th' the 94th pitcher in MLB history to reach the plateau.
1970: As the Yanks take on the Senators, a generous Mel Stottlemyre hands out 11 walks to Washington in 8 1/3 innings' but the Nats are unable to score. Steve Hamilton gets the last 2 outs to preserve the 2-0 win. The 11 walks in a shutout ties Lefty Gomez' who did complete his 1941 shutout. Danny Cater's 2-run homer in the 5th accounts for the scoring off Dick Such' making his first ML start.
1967: Earl Wilson gives Detroit its third straight win over the Yankees' 9-4. Mickey Mantle hits his 5th homer in 6 games but it's not enough for Whitey Ford, who appears in his last Major League game.
1963: At Kansas City' Mickey Mantle homers in the first inning off Orlando Pena, then adds another in the 5th. Roger Maris follows with another homer and New York win' 7-4.
1957: For his part in the Copacabana incident' Yankee outfielder Hank Bauer is arraigned. He is eventually cleared and threatens to sue the alleged victim' Edward Jones' who suffered a concussion and a broken jaw. In today's game' Yogi Berra' Billy Martin' and Whitey Ford are benched' while Bauer bats 8th. The White Sox win' 3-1.
1956: At Kansas City' Mickey Mantle belts a drive over the second and more distant fence in right to help the Yankees win' 8-5. The drive' off Moe Burtschy' matches homers to that spot by Larry Doby and Suitcase Simpson.
1941: Bobby Cox, starting Yankee third baseman in 1968 before going on to managerial fame, is born. Happy birthday, Bobby!
1938: The power-laden Yankees give little support to starter Spud Chandler' but he hits a home run in the 8th to gain a 1-0 victory over Thornton Lee and the White Sox.
1932: Before 60'000 at the Stadium' the Bronx Bombers roll over Washington' 14-2 and 8-0. Washington collect just 11 hits off Herb Pennock and Johnny Allen. In the opener' Babe Ruth hits a grand slam in the 5th off Lloyd Brown and he and Gehrig connect in the 6th off Frank Ragland. Tony Lazzeri is 6-for-7 on the afternoon' including a homer' 2 doubles and a triple.
1930: Babe Ruth hits three consecutive homers in the first game of a doubleheader against the A's' then batting against Jack Quinn in the 9th' Ruth decides to hit right handed. After 2 strikes' he switches to lefty but strikes out. This is the first of two career 3-homer games for the Babe. Max Bishop draws 5 walks for the 2nd time in his career (he is the only player to do this twice)' and Jimmie Foxx homers to help the A's to a 15-7 victory. Ruth is homerless in the 2nd game' a 4-1 Yankee loss' but Bishop has 3 more walks. Bishop will walk 8 times in a doubleheader in 1934' the only player to collect more than 6 walks in an afternoon
1923: Formal transfer of T. L. Huston's interest in the Yankees to Jacob Ruppert is completed for $1.5 million. Ten days later Ruppert buys 2 more sets of uniforms so that his players can wear a clean outfit every day' an unprecedented move.
1904: (Not directly Yankee-related, but included because it's always fun to laugh at the Red Sox ;->)
Boston shortstop Bill O'Neill puts himself in the record books by committing 6 errors in a 13 inning game, a 5-3 loss to the Browns. O'Neill makes errors in the first inning on the first three balls hit to him' and a 4th straight error with a misplay in the 2nd frame.
His final error is on an easy grounder in the 13th inning and allows two runs to score. O'Neill will be the only 20th century player to record 6 errors in a single contest.

Post-fight Press Conference link (when it starts):
1,3 and 5 for GSP. Close fight.
How close fight did the fight look afterwards.
Fox Sports 1 just reported that GSP's corner told him after round 3 that was losing 2 rounds to 1 and needed the final 2 rounds. Interesting none the less
Favorite Fights: Jonny Bones Jones, Wandy, Hendo, Cain, Matt Hughes, Melvin.
Most disliked fighters: Michael Bisping, Spankie Edgar, Alistair Overeem, Anderson Silva, Tim Sylvia, Chuck Liddell
Round 1 is the only controversy and even the judges were split on how to score it. GSP controlled the pace, worked teh jabs, and got the take down. Hendricks threw a few nasty elbows that hurt GSP more than anything he dished out the entire fight.
I had that a 10-10 round. By the book GSP more likely won it.
Round 1 and 2 were Hendricks'. No fucking way I would see otherwise.
Yea I knew he didn't tap.
"After Overeem lands two knees, Fujita backs into the corner then sheepishly tries sneaking past. Alistair punches him back into the corner and lands a third knee that I swear lights on fucking fire before it impacts.". -cracked version of the climax of Fujita vs Overeem fight.
Fight Metric site is loading super slow right now, lol.

The point of spine compression should the tarmac be anything less than glass smooth. I could take Sport in small doses only – staying in that mode for too long proved tiresome.
What is far from tiresome is the cabin, specifically its high level of comfort for those occupying the front seats. (Yes, there are back seats, but they are of little use except as another place to stash the groceries.) The dominant material in the interior is black Alcantara, found in the centre sections of the sports seats, steering wheel rim, gear and hand-brake levers, door handles and door storage compartments. It feels almost ticklish to the touch at first, but it's a unique alternative to leather.
Equally unique is the centre console, the same Carrara white colour as the tester's exterior, as well as the bright red seatbelts, the same shade as the piston calipers hiding behind the stunning black-spoke rims.
What isn't so cool is the way Porsche jams it to its dedicated fan base, and I'm not just talking about the price discrepancy between Canada and the United States. Come on, $600 for heated front seats on a car with a $117,600 sticker? Ridiculous! How about $2,410 for the navigation system? Shameful.
That beef aside, the GTS is otherwise one sweet ride – a driver's car that is docile when need be, ferocious when unleashed and eminently controllable. It's a modern muscle car from the other side of the pond and a tonic for those of us with long, fond memories of performance past.

Considering we've been writing about it all week long, we've probably read the first issue of The Multiversity around a dozen times by now. And we're not the least bit ashamed to admit that the first time we read it, it kind of made our brain a little dizzy.
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read TEEN TITANS #2 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).
We don't need Diana's lasso to admit that we're uber-excited about the launch of Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman, the brand new Wonder Woman anthology comic that made its digital debut last week and will premiere in print this Wednesday.
Welcome back for another installment of Preview Monday! This week, we're giving you exclusive first looks at BATMAN AND ROBIN #34 and THE UNWRITTEN: APOCALYPSE #8.
Summer's over, and for thousands of children nationwide, school is once again in session.
All week long we've been celebrating The Multiversity, Grant Morrison's new series set within the DC Multiverse. While it's possible to enjoy the comic without being familiar with the Multiverse, it can't hurt to at least know where the idea comes from, and some of the pre-existing comics that have close ties to The Multiversity.
By now you've likely seen the sentient comic book ads, our Facebook banners featuring some very different versions of Superman, Aquaman and the Flash, and our interactive map highlighting a few of the different Earths. However, if you're scratching your head over what all of this is for… well, you're in the right place.
As announced earlier today on USA Today, actor Michael James Shaw will be joining the cast of NBC's Constantine in the recurring guest role of Papa Midnite.
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read WORLD'S FINEST #26 yet and do not wish to know what happens, stop reading this post now (major spoilers ahead!).

Deceptive Practices & Consumer Fraud
Posted by
ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA -- I purchased a 40" LED SAMSUNG, 3D Television from Fingerhut on November 15, 2013. Immediately the TV began turning on and off by itself. I was within the 30 Day Home Trial Period, so I called Fingerhut to return the television. I was told by an EXTREMELY RUDE phone representative "It is not Fingerhut's problem, you must contact the manufacturer", then hung up on me.
I called and emailed NUMEROUS times. I got absolutely nowhere with the Fingerhut representatives. They refused to let me speak with a supervisor, they hang up on me and they are completely unwilling to assist me. It is a total nightmare dealing with Fingerhut.
December 2013 - I spoke with Kyle ID # MADRILEJO - He stated I was no longer within the 30 Day Home Trial period and there was nothing he could do. Again, he refused to let me speak with a supervisor and claimed he was unable to transfer my call or provide me with additional phone numbers to contact Customer Service.
Again, I emailed several times and I left a negative product rating through the Fingerhut website. I received no response to the numerous emails, but Fingerhut removed my negative rating from their website. Fingerhut is misleading consumers by removing negative ratings and displaying only the positive.
I finally decided to contact Samsung, the manufacturer of the TV. Samsung arranged for a company to come to my home and repair the television. The repairman replaced the defective part twice (the first part blew as soon as it was inserted). The "band-aid" repair held for less than a week. Again, the TV was on and on, on and off.
I called Samsung and their ECR Representative told me "YOUR TV IS OLD & OUTDATED". I would have to go through another repair, but first, I must prove the TV is still under warranty.
At this point, I stopped making payments to Fingerhut. They sold me an OLD, OUTDATED, DEFECTIVE TV.
Well, It didn't take long for the harassing, collection phone calls from Fingerhut to start. They want their money, but still unwilling to take the TV back. They reported my account to the credit agencies as default, which brought my credit score down.
I started to threaten Fingerhut and Samsung with a lawsuit, BBB, Consumer Protection, anything I could rattle off to make someone listen. The TV came with a 1 year warranty that guaranteed against defect....I wanted it replaced.
Finally, 7 months into this ordeal, Samsung has agreed to exchange the TV. This should happen within the next 7 -10 business days.
BACK TO FINGERHUT - I called Fingerhut today (June 30, 2014). I explained that Samsung has agreed to exchange the TV and I would be willing to make my monthly payments, if Fingerhut removed the late fees and updated my credit report. I was told " you pay the late fees $260.00 now and Fingerhut will reimburse you and update your credit report" . REALLY? I asked him to send the information to me in an email, which he refused to do. I asked him to remove the late fees first, which he refused to do. After going several rounds with this blatantly deceptive person, he stated he was not authorized to remove the late fees or update the credit report. Why did he tell me he would????? OMG - SO INTERNATIONALLY DECEPTIVE!!!
Again, I asked for a supervisor and again I was not allowed to speak with one. I asked to be transferred to someone that could assist me and again, he refused.
I called Fingerhut back 6 times today, I have spoken with Sarah, Kerriann, Kim, Stephanie, Samuel and Ellis. All of these representatives were unwilling to assist, unable to help, unwilling to connect me with a supervisor, unable to provide me with additional phone numbers and so on.
This has caused me a great deal of anxiety & stress, it has ruined my credit, which has affected me financially.
I am more than happy to speak with any law firm or media regarding this issue with FINGERHUT.

You need to file a complaint with the FTC and your states Attorney Generals office. Then file a complaint in small claims court.
If you had used your credit card, you'd have recourse through your bank. But I realize a lot of people are using Fingerhut credit so you aren't protected.
BTW Fingerhut has a 30% or higher markup over retail. Find another way to build your credit without getting ripped off. Fingerhut has adopted a bullying business practice. They don't deserve anyone's business. They deserve to be out of business.

Horrible Customer Service! Fraudulent Payment Methods!
Posted by
To Whom It May Concern,
On 7-8-2013, I received a call from customer service regarding my July payment. I explained that I never received the statement, but I will go online to process a payment. Customer service representative did inform me that there was a late fee of $13.99; she said that she could waive the late fee as a one-time courtesy IF I made the payment with her. I told her that I prefer to enter the payment online to avoid any mistakes. She said if I made the payment online, she would not waive the late fee.
I gave her my credit card information and authorized a payment of $13.99. As I waited for the payment conformation number, I logged into my FingerHut account. I checked the FingerHut payment history, noticed a charge of $26.98. I told her she charged the wrong amount. She said the correct amount will reflect in about 2-4 hours. Four hours later, I checked my account and the dollar amount did not change.
I called customer service again, explained the problem to customer service representative, she said she will reverse the $26.98 charge and charge the correct amount of $13.99. I was fine with that. I gave her my credit card number, as she was about the process the payment she informed me that there is a $5.00 processing fee. I told her to stop. I was never told about a processing fee. She said she will waive the $5.00 fee. I thanked her for waiving the fee. She said the $26.98 will be credit back to my US Bank credit card within a couple of days.
On 7-11-13, I checked my US Bank account; I saw the $26.98 charge had not been reversed. I called customer service.
1st call at 10:06 am spoke to Pamela G – After explaining the problem and requesting to speak to a supervisor - Customer service representative hung up.
2nd call at 10:09 am spoke to Marsha – Told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor, she refused to transfer the call and customer service representative hung up on me.
3rd call at 12:13 pm - Spoke to customer service representative (didn't get her name), explained the issue and told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor. Waited for about 5 min, spoke to Even (Supervisor), told him the problem, he checked the account and didn't understand why the $26.98 charge was not reversed. He transferred me to another supervisor.
Waited about 10 min, Kimberly (Supervisor) told me that FingerHut does not credit bank cards and will not credit my US Bank card BUT she will gladly apply the $26.98 payment towards my August's payment. I asked her, if this is the policy why didn't the other customer service representatives tell me? I spoke to 3 customer service representatives and 1 supervisor and I was never told. I told her that I am not satisfied with that. I was told by the customer service representative on the 8th that the $26.98 payment will be reversed and my US Bank credit card will be credited. She told me to call my bank, that there is nothing she will do. At this point I told her she has very poor customer service skills, unprofessional and her attitude is awful.
I called my bank, told them the problem, they were very professional, understanding and they reversed the charges.
Because of FingerHut's horrible customer service and straight out lies, I called to request a return packing slip. Since I never used the items I ordered, I will return them and happily close my account.
I doubt that anything will come of this complaint letter, but I very happy that I will NEVER do business with a company that treats its customers this way.
For me to take time out of my busy schedule to write a complaint letter should say enough! I'm sure most people would just blow it off and continue on, but not me!
I call it like I see it.
For the most part, FingerHut has horrible customer service representatives and atrocious supervisors who don't know what they are doing.
I strongly suggest re-train your representatives.
Unhappy, never to shop at FingerHut again customer!

Openly Rip People Off and They Give You the Run Around.
Posted by
ST. CLOUD, MN -- I have sent all my info to my Attorney General but Fingerhut continues to rip me off. I sent all items back due to boxes looking like they had been not properly packaged. I kept one item that was on sale but was charged full price. State they give you 30 day free trial but I was not credited for return postage or for the items until weeks later. I occurred interest. Called and called to see nothing done but runaround talk and half of the reps had problems with English. Then before this all hit me and I sent the first items back I ordered a cell phone. Days later received a small part for an iPad. Called and told to send it back and they would sent correct item. Didn't get credit for over a month on that. But the worst thing is days later I receive the same part for an iPad instead of a cell phone. I sent it back priority mail and called. Claim they didn't receive it until weeks later. Didn't get credit until another billing cycle went by. Two payments later I owe way over the price of the one item I kept. I was charged shipping charges and then late charges because I paid late waiting on them to correct billing.
I used to deal with Fingerhut years ago but they sold out. I may be dead over a item that was advertised online for $129.99. My bill after $30 payment is close to $200. I'm having chest pains writing about it. I sent a money order by priority mail and the received it Friday morning and I get constant phone calls since Friday. I don't answer because there is no talking to them. They want your bank info extremely bad. Said money order takes 7-10 days to process?? Just don't deal with them period. Just ruin your credit not help.

Ashley Kitchen Table
Posted by
I ordered the 5 piece oak kitchen table set by ASHLEY. When I first received it. The table top was completely damaged in the center so I called to complain to a Fingerhut representative. So they sent me another table top which was completely damaged on the corner. At this point I was extremely upset its ridiculous. So I know its not that hard to care for one item. So when I called the third time. I asked to speak to someone hire up. They transferred me to a supervisor who said he was sorry again for this mishap.
I presumed to express my feelings about the situation. But there was nothing he could do for me but send another table top which I would receive within 7 to 10 business days. 10 days later I called back because I still didn't receive my third table top. So the Fingerhut represenative I spoke with this time said that it showed the request for a table top in the system but for some reason it hadn't been sent out. So now after 1 month an a half of trying to be a completely satisfied customer. I am still waiting on my third table top.
(ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS) I worked in shipping and receiving as well as retail. There are way to many U.S. citizens in this world in need of a good job. For these excuse me IGNORANT people that can't handle one order to take those job placements. What has this world come to?

Rip off artists
Posted by
NEWARK, NEW JERSEY -- I have been dealing with Fingerhut for several years. I have purchased items and paid off my account at least twice.
Just recently I have been having problems with them. First of all my billing due date is the 25th of the month. They have recently been calling on the 2nd demanding payment and charging a "late fee". Nothing I say makes any difference in this.
After my latest conversation with them they took it upon themselves to set up an automatic payment transfer without my permission. I called my bank and cancelled this transfer and put a block on any electronic payments to them.
I will continue to pay my bill by check.
I wish I had the money to pay them off right now...but I don't.
So, now, I am getting these harassing phone calls.
You can bet I will never do business with Fingerhut again.

Are they calling on the 2nd day of the following month? If your payment is due say on July 25, are they calling you on August 2nd? If that's the case, then the payment is late.
Ben There on 08/14/2010:
When are you mailing your checks to them?
Anonymous on 08/14/2010:
I cannot believe people actually still mail checks. I normally write one check a month, to my partner for my half of the bills. That's it.
Skye on 08/14/2010:
Why Prince? There are lots of people who prefer to pay by check, then charge things on credit cards. My parents fall into the category. The thing is, now many places that do accept checks, automatically deposit them as electronic withdrawls, so the money comes out immediately, from checking accounts.
Anonymous on 08/14/2010:
well its not that I use a credit card, but theres online bill pay that most all companies are signed up for, debit cards, etc. Theres just such a variety of easier ways to pay your bills now than mailing out a check and spending 44 cents per stamp.
Anonymous on 08/14/2010:
then you know they have the money, and don't have to worry about the snail mail and how long it will take to deliver, and hopefully not lose it, and then how long it will take for the company to open it up and input your payment into their system before its late.
Skye on 08/14/2010:
But some people do not like change, and that's why they pay by check. Whatever the OPs reason, I'm just curious if the day they are calling them for payment, is the 2nd day of the following month, which would make their payment late.
Skye on 08/14/2010:
By the way Prince, I wasn't implying anything about you, when I mentioned credit cards.
Anonymous on 08/14/2010:
No problem Skye. youre right though some people are CC happy.
Weedwhacked on 08/14/2010:
I make my auto payment online but every time I need to transfer money to my wife's account for our mortgage I withdraw the cash from Bank of America and deposit it to Chase. I don't trust any of these banks with having to write personal checks and having to wait until they decide to clear it.
I also settled an account with two large payments that they wanted by electronic check. Yeah sure, they got two monthly payments in the form of money orders. I was not about to disclose my account information to them.
spiderman2 on 08/14/2010:
I have 3 bills I pay by check -- two of them (my mortgage and my water bill) want me to pay a service fee for the convenience of paying online and Verizon because every time I pay them online they screw it up. I just make sure to put the check in the mail a few days before its due.Everything else gets paid online.
lilydarling on 08/15/2010:
If your payment is due on the 25th, do you mail your check by the 18th of each month at the latest? Because anything after that will probably end up getting there late.
biomajor on 08/15/2010:
I pay my trash service and my water bill by check. Trash isn't available online and it's quarterly, anyway and water wants to charge $1.95 a month to pay my $15.00 bill if I pay online and that's just crazy.
LizzieD on 08/16/2010:
The invoice arrives on the first of August, the payment is due the 25th of August. They call demanding money on the second of August. I was paying online, as I do all of my bills, until these people took it upon themselves to take money from my account without authorazation.
And, just as a note, I will pay this account with a money order from now on. A check is just inviting bad behavior.
Skye on 08/16/2010:
Thanks for coming back and letting us know how you are making payments to them. Did they give you a reason, why they are calling to be paid on the 2nd, if the bill is not due for another 23 days? It would be interesting to know what their reason is.
Sam on 04/26/2013:
Paying bills by money order is the best and only way to avoid this. Send it with confirmation. Anyone paying repeat anyone paying with an echeck here is just not right

Outrageous Finance Charge
Posted by
I have been with Fingerhut for less than a year now. I hope by publishing this info about Fingerhut I am able to help others before they get nabbed....mafia style by Fingerhut.
Their products are way below average in quality
and their interest rate is outrageous but you don't find any of this out in the beginning as it is not apparent.
Most of their products, in my opinion, must be made in 3rd world countries-- the quality is not evident.
Plus the point I want to make here is the most important:
I have a few other credit cards and the one that charges the least amount with the highest quality is Dillard's at 18%. You get what you pay for and the interest rate is not going to break you and they don't make a point of hiding the rate like Fingerhut does. Shame on Fingerhut.
Fingerhut, how dare they. They do not make you aware in any of their info that their interest rate is 25%. This is criminal, mafia style.
As soon as I get rid of this bill, which is about 3 more payments, I don't want any more to do with them..ever! You would be wise to heed my advice.
Most of what I bought has worn out or broken before I am even able to pay it off. Pure junk of which the Fingerhut members pay 25% for. Guys that is. 25 cents on a dollar....like I said it is Mafia Style.....think about it

Getting away from Fingerhut is a good move. They are a high interest junk dealer. Their primary customers are those who have poor credit.
But, just for the record, a 25% APR does not directly translate to 25 cents on the dollar of what is purchased.
The way the interest is applied is 25% / 12 = 2.08% per month and is used to calculate that months interest on the unpaid balance. Say, $200. That would be $4.16. The new balance before your payment would be $204.16. Now, say you make a $10 payment. Your new balance is $194.16. Your $10 payment only gained you $5.14 toward your balance.
Most use "average daily balance" to calculate interest. That does gain them a couple of cents more from you.
CrazyRedHead on 11/03/2009:
We occasionally get a Fingerhut catalog and it explains the finance charge and the shipping charge in it. I was with them a long time ago and agree with you, they are cheap. My husband wouldn't listen to me and ordered something from them, he now agrees with me.

Continuous Unwanted Calls
Posted by
Representantives of Fingerhut have called me on my cell phone a total of 6 times now looking for someone named Ms. Atkins, whom I am not. The first call on Dec.19th of 07 at 10:49am, I simply told Fingerhut they had a wrong number. The second call on Dec.20th of 07 at 8:25am, I made sure to tell the rep. that I am not Ms.Atkins, they have a wrong number, please remove my cell phone number from your system. I was told it would be removed. The third call on Dec.21st of 07 at 2:14pm, I asked for a supervisor. The rep. hung up on me. The fourth call on Dec. 22nd of 07 at 8:59am when I asked for a name, the line "suddenly" went dead. The fifth time, on Dec. 26th of 07 at 11:53am, the caller never responded to my hello when I answered, and today, Dec.27th at 12:07pm, more joy. I re-explained for the umpteenth time that I am not Ms.Atkins and then simply asked for a supervisor. Of course, I was told by the rep. that the supervisor was in a meeting and that they would call me back. The rep. didn't want to provide me a call back number for the supervisor, nor would she find another supervisor, and or manager to speak with me. The rep. much to my dismay didn't have any customer service inclinations at all. She/ the company she works for is in error, and she didn't have any qualms showing how annoyed she was at my questions. I asked if anywhere in their system is there a note or anything at all stating that my cell phone number should be removed. According to her, there isn't, but that was all. The rep. basically said goodbye and hung up. No resolution or gasp! dare I hope for an apology? They are basically harassing me with these calls, using up my minutes, and I can't find a corporate address anywhere on the web for a complaint/ help. The only info available is the customer service number, which hasn't helped. I've never done business with Fingerhut, and now I know never to do so.

I would just stop answering if it is the same number calling you all the time. If they are using different numbers each call I can see why you would still answer. Go look on their website to see if you can find a contact number for them, and demand to speak to someone higher up and demand they take your number off the list.

Fingerhut Customer Service is located in India. At least the ones are that I have spoken to. Yes, they will keep calling, and the reason no supervisor is they will keep calling unless there is a written letter to the company, asking to have the # removed.

Can you add the number to your call blocking on your cell phone?
SilverWngs71 on 12/27/2007:
Not really because they use many different 1-800 #'s to call from and it sounds like a recording till they hear the person pick up and say "hello." Believe me, I've tried!!!

2.8 Ultra Suede Hybrids Review
I was looking for a hybrid ball after going through several sets of stretchy vinyl bean bags. So I did a bunch of research and came across the tossaball Hybrid Juggling Balls. I ordered a set of 7 2.8 firm ultra suede balls and was extremely surprised at how sturdy and "ball-like" they were. The quality and craftsmanship of these balls are immediately noticeable. After juggling with them for many hours, I can honestly say that these are by far by favorite juggling balls! I have sets of stage balls of all sizes, bean bags, glowballs, etc, and these are by far the most comfortable and enjoyable to juggle. The colors are surprisings vibrant, making them highly visible. And unless they are launched at a horizontal angle, they tend not to roll very far, making them excellent practice balls. They also fly perfectly, making learning tricks and patterns with higher numbers far more easy.
As far as customer service goes, Jim is extremely responsive and he genuinely cares about making sure you get the best product and the best experience. It is nice to deal with someone who cares about you as a customer and appreciates your business.
I rarely write reviews about products unless I absolutely love them. And I am in love with these balls! They are unique in design and quality and are made by a fantastic company. I cannot recommend them enough! -- Jay

The Fugitive had movie audiences at the edge of their seats, cheering for a doctor wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. But most people do not know that the film was based on a real case.
In July of 1954, Marilyn Sheppard was found murdered in her home in a quiet Ohio suburb. Marilyn's husband, a prominent doctor, was charged with murder, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. 12 years later the Supreme Court declared the trial a media "carnival" and Dr. Sam Sheppard was acquitted. His son has devoted much of his life to investigating the crime that tore his life apart. Now, thanks to DNA testing, he believes he has found the person responsible.
AMERICAN JUSTICE® traces his steps and reveals who the real killer might be. It's the true story behind one of the most popular movies in years.


text: 3 Ignore the hypewampa1 | 27/04/2010 | See all wampa1's reviews (19)This film is fine. Its not bad, its fine. While the technology behind it is impressive and the 3D was game changing there are several "downers". First, the plot is simple, predictable and feels like an after thought to the 3D. Secondly, without the 3D its an average film, with some cringe worthy dialogue. And to top it all off, the DVD has NO EXTRAS WHAT SO EVER, something which is unexcusable for a film like this, the reasoning behind the lack of extras being simple. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER REISSUE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.Judging this film as it is, without the 3D, minus the big screen and HD surround sound, this film is an average Jim Cameron movie, 30 minutes too long and not well enough written to warrant additional viewings.

The Post-2015 Consensus
The Center's newest project asks, "How can we make the world a better place over the next 15 years?"
The Post-2015 Consensus brings together the world's top economists, NGOs, international agencies and businesses to identify the best "bang-for-buck" goals for the UN's next development agenda.
Real People, Real Problems
The Copenhagen Consensus Center interviewed more than 50 people, all around the world. Our goal was to ask them about their priorities and concerns, and then consider the policy options that would help the most. Too seldom do we hear from the local people who are said to be in danger. These people are not voiceless; we just pay no attention to what they say.
How Much Have Global Problems Cost the World?
A Scorecard for Humanity is a new project from the Copenhagen Consensus Center. Here we address the long-running debate raging between scholars asking the question, Is the world is getting better or worse?

Copenhagen Consensus Center
"Copenhagen Consensus is an outstanding, visionary idea and deserves global coverage" - The Economist
The Copenhagen Consensus Center works with the world's top economists to prioritize global development goals. Through our research, we show policymakers how to do the most good for the most people. We provide careful cost-benefit analyses for today's most pressing issues.
New research released every week
The Copenhagen Consensus Center has released the first four sets of research papers for the post-2015 development agenda. These papers focus on the smartest targets for Education, Illicit Financial Flows, Conflict & Violence, and Science & Technology. Continue checking back, every week throughout this year, research on a new topic will be released.
Preliminary rating of all OWG goal proposals
In our new report, a total of 169 targets have been assessed by 30+ of the world's top economists, and categorized into five ratings based on evidence of economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits. While we applaud that the OWG's final outcome document contains 43 less targets than the previous document, we are concerned that many targets have simply been combined, therefore reducing the number of both phenomenal and poor targets assessed according to our cost-benefit analysis. Our new assessment includes suggestions for how these can be improved as reported in this article by Financial Times.
A lot to learn
"I've served on four 'experts committees', beginning in 2004. All involved hard choices among attractive alternatives to meet crucial objectives for development and health. And the reason I keep serving? I learn so much."
- Thomas C. Schelling, Nobel Laureate in Economics
