July 9 Premarket Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
Here are 10 things you should know for Wednesday, July 9:
1. -- U.S. stock futures were rising slightly on Wednesday as investors awaited the minutes from the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting.
European stocks declined for a fourth day while Asian stocks finished Wednesday's session lower.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Wednesday includes minutes of the June 18 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee at 2 p.m. EDT.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Tuesday fell with little market-moving news to sustain the rally that swept benchmark indices to record highs last week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.69% to 16,906.62. The S&P 500 retreated 0.7% to 1,963.71. The Nasdaq declined 1.4% to 4,391.46.
4. -- Citigroup
(C) and the Justice Department are close to a deal for the bank to pay about $7 billion to settle allegations it sold shoddy mortgages in the run-up to the financial crisis, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
A settlement could be announced as early as next week.
The two sides, which had been far apart just weeks ago, are ironing out details of an agreement that would avert a federal lawsuit over the mortgages, the people told the Journal.The potential settlement marks a reversal from mid-June, when the Justice Department had warned that it planned to file a lawsuit unless Citigroup significantly raised its settlement offer. Citigroup had been offering about $4 billion, while the government was seeking close to $10 billion, according to the Journal. 5. -- Amazon.com (AMZN) offered authors caught up in its dispute with Hachette Book Group 100% of the proceeds from their digital-book sales.
Hachette rejected the proposal but said it would negotiate for a contract with Amazon that would benefit both parties, Sophie Cottrell, a spokeswoman for Hachette, said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg on Tuesday. "We invite Amazon to withdraw the sanctions they have unilaterally imposed," she said, adding that the publisher seeks to resolve the dispute soon "to the benefit of the writers." Amazon and Hachette have been in tense negotiations over a new e-book contract. 6.-- Aluminum giant Alcoa (AA) posted second-quarter earnings on Tuesday that topped analysts' estimates. Alcoa said earnings excluding items in the quarter were 18 cents a share; analysts were expecting 12 cents a share. Second-quarter revenue was $5.84 billion, which beat analysts' estimates of $5.66 billion.
The company reported strong results in its engineered-products business, which makes parts for industrial customers.
Alcoa reiterated its forecast for aluminum global demand growth of 7% for 2014. 7. -- A Beijing court ruled against Apple (AAPL) by upholding the validity of a patent held by a Chinese company, clearing the way for the Chinese company to continue its own case against Apple for infringing intellectual property rights, Reuters reported. Apple had taken Shanghai-based Zhizhen Internet Technology and China's State Intellectual Property Office to court to seek a ruling that Zhizhen's patent rights to a speech recognition technology were invalid. But the Beijing First Intermediate Court on Tuesday decided in Zhizhen's favor, the People's Daily state newspaper reported on Wednesday. Apple said it intended to take the case to the Beijing Higher People's Court, according to the People's Daily. "Unfortunately, we were not aware of Zhizhen's patent before we introduced Siri (speech recognition technology) and we do not believe we are using this patent," said a Beijing-based Apple spokeswoman in an emailed statement to Reuters. 8. -- AbbVie (ABBV) on Tuesday made its fourth offer for Irish drugmaker Shire (SHPG), this time raising the bid by 11% to about 30.1 billion pounds ($51.5 billion) and hinted that it had broad backing from Shire's shareholders for the latest in a string of proposals.
But AbbVie had to backtrack from that assertion on Wednesday. The company issued a statement saying that it hasn't received written commitments of support from shareholders and, without those, U.K. takeover rules don't allow the company to claim backing from investors, Bloomberg reported. 9. -- America Movil, the telecom company, said it would sell off some assets to reduce its market share in Mexico in the face of the country's telecommunications reform designed to break up monopolies. The company of magnate Carlos Slim said its board agreed to sell enough assets to put the company at less than 50% of the market, The Associated Press reported. America Movil controls about 70% of the mobile and about 80% of fixed telephone markets in Mexico. 10. -- Uber agreed to limit prices during emergencies, natural disasters or other unusual market disruptions consistent with New York's law against price gouging, the car service and state attorney general said Tuesday.
Uber, which uses a mobile application to connect riders with vehicles for hire, has its rates rise and fall with demand, but it has been criticized for "surge pricing" that's sometimes exponentially higher than base fares. Prices usually increase weekdays during rush hour in New York City, on Saturday nights, special occasions like New Year's Eve and during bad weather. Under the agreement signed Tuesday, Uber will set a cap during "abnormal disruptions of the market," limited to the range of prices charged in the preceding 60 days and excluding the three highest prices.

We were told of a white fawn in the area. We and seen it and his mother crossing right in front of us as we drove close to home the other night and we hoped that it might show up in our yard as deer often do. This morning my wife seen it as she was driving off to work but came quickly to the house and told me to get the camera. I ran out with the camera in my bare feet, and shorts - cold and fortunately not raining. I got these just in time as they started walking off.

I have two projects to share with you today, one art journaling page and one layout. I used complementary colours for the layout I posted in the beginning of this month – a green background with details in the complementary colour red. This time I went for a green background again, but using a triadic colour scheme and the accent colours orange and purple.
I started this layout by covering the cardstock with gesso. I then used acrylic paint, in three different green colours, and covered my page. When the paint was dry I added Glimmer Mist Glarney and Chalkboard Mist Sprout. Then I added another layer using a stencil from Crafter's Workshop and gesso. Again I let everything dry and then I added Glimmer Mists Blarney and Olive Vine and Chalkboard Mist Sprout.
I also stamped some circles using Glimmer Glam Private Meadow and an empty toilet roll. For the accents, I misted tissue paper with Glimmer Mist Deep Plum and Candy Corn and Chalkboard Mist Grape Ape. I also coloured the wooden embellishment with Glimmer Glaze Wicked.
Some washi tape, a Cocoa Daisy stamp, the cute wooden girl coloured with mist… The title means "walk and walk".
Perhaps the stamping on the photo needs some explanation. It's Swedish and means "full speed".
My journaling page started out as a sketch. I'm practicing, learning more for each drawing I make…
I coloured the background using Plain Jane Simply Sheer Aqua. I removed the lid and painted the colour onto my page, using a paintbrush.
I coloured the face using acrylic paint.
I coloured the hair, using Neocolour II crayons and acrylic paint.
I wrote my journaling on the background and then I covered most of it up, using mist and gesso. The first thing I did was using a stencil from Crafter's Workshop together with the Simply Sheer Aqua mist and Sugar Plum Fairy Glimmer Mist. When the mist was dry I added gesso on top, using another stencil. On top of the dry gesso I added Dragonfly Glimmer Mist, using a paint brush. I also sprayed some Glimmer Mist Graphite on top.
To finish my page I covered the hair with Glimmer Glam Caspian Sea – I LOVE that effect on top of the black paint – and I dripped some Blue Oasis Glimmer Glaze onto the background.
Thank you so much for stopping by the Tattered Angels Inspiration blog today! I hope you enjoyed seeing my process for the art journaling page and the difference between a complementary and a triadic colour scheme, from my September layouts.
Have a lovely day!

Back in November 2, 2011 a Think Progress report by Lee Fang indicated Mitt Romney is involved in the Allan Stanford ponzi scheme and established a subsidiary called: Solamere Capital by Tagg Romney and Mitt Romney providing the seed money of 10 million dollars or his mother Ann Romney.The Romney's have not made accurate statements or provided documents that they were not involved with Stanford's investments.
There is no denial of these facts by the Romney camp only that Tagg Romney stated he was not investigated by the SEC which is not true.
Solamere was a subsidiary of the Alan Stanford Group, and are attempting to cover their tracks, the main investors are the Romney bunch.
As you can see from the website of Solamere, Tagg Romney's picture appears with the title of Managing Partner.
The whole situation is being ignored from the media's eye and denied by Romney's campaign handlers although they have "not denied the facts".
Solamere Advisers, the company that is run by brokers, actually removed Tagg and Spencer Zwick's names from their website.
On solamere's website the management team includes: Tagg Romney

On October 2, 2012, CFRC staff were informed by representatives of the Board of Directors of the Alma Mater Society of Queen's University, Inc.(the AMS), that our Business Manager, Ayanda Mngoma, has been terminated without cause, effective immediately.
The AMS Board has decided to eliminate the full-time Business Manager position, replacing it with a Sponsorship and Outreach volunteer position at 15 hours per week on commission. The decision was made by the AMS Board without consultation with CFRC's Advisory Board, the body representing CFRC's financial stakeholders (such as the AMS, the SGPS, Queen's Faculty/Staff and community members) that is responsible for advising the AMS Board on station operations.
The AMS issued a brief statement and report concerning its "motion to restructure CFRC" but has not yet provided:
-Any documentation delineating the impact the change will have on CFRC's day-to-day operations;
-A plan for transitioning into the new position;
-Any accommodation for completing work currently under the Business Manager's portfolio, or
-A plan for redistributing Business Manager tasks, which are not in the job description of the new volunteer position, to CFRC's 3 other full-time paid staff
The AMS Board has drafted and approved its own budget for CFRC, without consulting the station's staff or Advisory Board. The AMS budget increases projected ad revenues by $3000 while terminating the full-time employee responsible for generating advertising. The termination will lower CFRC's costs by just over $6500 in expenses; but CFRC anticipates the loss in revenue to be much greater than the AMS has stipulated in its budget for the station.
If you wish to reach Ayanda or contact CFRC staff regarding advertising, sponsorship or promotions, please use the alternate staff contacts provided below.
CFRC staff and the CFRC Radio Club executive are shocked and disappointed by this decision. Due to the unanticipated crisis with CFRC's staffing structure and resources, CFRC has had to postpone its fall cycle of volunteer training, affects more than 85 new recruits, the great majority of whom are AMS members.
The AMS Board has made clear that its decision is final. Therefore, the only avenue for challenging these actions lies with encouraging the representatives of the AMS Assembly to overturn the decision at the AMS Corporate General Meeting on November 8.
If you would like to ask Assembly representatives for more information about this decision, or urge them to reinstate CFRC's Business Manager, you may reach the following:

EDUC-X101: Learning Strategies for Business
Course Overview
X101 is a 2 credit-hour graded semester long course that is open to ALL STUDENTS who are also enrolled in any section of Business X100. The class size is small (24 students), which allows for personal attention so that the students can discover the ways that they study best.
Course Description
X101 has been designed with the purpose of providing students with the necessary skills and abilities to successfully and effectively study business concepts, most notably those introduced in Business X100. Although this course is directly linked to BUS X100 – Introduction to Business, the nature of the X101 discussions and assignments will provide the student with lifelong learning concepts that will be applicable throughout their academic pursuits. X101 is a "collegial experience" – meaning the collective efforts of the instructor and all of the students create a learning environment more conducive to shared learning. This shared learning will allow the students to become each other's greatest resource throughout the semester.
Assignments are tailored to parallel those in Business X100 and are designed to 1) assist students in learning the concepts introduced in class, (2) facilitate studying for the quizzes and final exams, and (3) create a foundation for future business courses by providing students with sound and effective learning skills.
Course Structure
Course activities guide students to focus more on the thought processes being used rather than focusing entirely on finding the "right" answer to the problem. Students will be encouraged to become aware of, reflect upon, and consciously direct their thinking and problem-solving efforts. Another way to think about what is covered by this course is to think about success in M118 coming from not only "doing" math, but also "thinking about doing" math and "questioning what you are doing" in math. This is done primarily through expressing mathematical ideas orally and in writing as well as describing how they reached an answer or the difficulties they encountered while trying to solve a problem. In addition, students' beliefs about the nature of mathematics and themselves as learners are addressed, as well as math study skills and strategies for coping with math/test anxiety and various lecture styles.
Course Objectives
* Become more active learners who take control of their own learning by anticipating the upcoming lecture/discussion, summarizing the most recent lecture/discussion, and formulating questions they hope will be answered as they attend a lecture/discussion or read a text.
* Think like a 'business academician' and learn different approaches to business, thus gaining a better understanding and appreciation of the discipline and recognizing the value of business knowledge in everyday life.
* Improve reading efficiency by learning how to read different sorts of business texts actively, strategically, and critically to identify major business themes.
*Transform the text and lecture/discussion information by writing summaries, creating cognitive maps and/or time lines, and verbalizing what they have learned and what they do not fully comprehend.
* Write well-organized accurate essays by learning ways to analyze arguments, identify thesis statements and supporting arguments, and distinguish between essential and non-essential information.
* Analyze their own thinking and learning by becoming aware of what they know, need to know and are learning so they can relate new information to prior knowledge.
* Learn to work collaboratively with other students through X101 student discussion of lecture/reading notes and the formulation of smaller study groups specifically geared toward the study of business.
* Develop study skills such as note taking, preparing for exams, time management, and goal setting.
Students have the opportunity to develop skills in the following areas:
Who Benefits from Taking Education X101
*Students who are enrolled for the first time in a large college lecture course that emphasize independent learning.
* Students who want to know what it takes to do well at the college level.
* Students who want to increase academic success in all courses.
* Students who would like to optimize their study skills.
* Students who want to become a better reader and writer
* Students who enjoy Business and are considering it as a major or minor

Current conditions show the actual weather at Sochi airport and are based on the regular weather report issued by the weather station located at the airport.
The report contains information like wind, visibility, weather, clouds, air temperature, dew point, pressure and it is updated every 30 minutes
This radar image shows the rainfall rate in a radius of 125 km around Sochi.
The higher the reflectivity value on a radar image, the heavier the precipitation rate that is detected.
For example, the dark orange colour represents the heaviest precipitation of snow (meaning there is a snowfall rate of more tha 50 cm/hr), while the light blue colour represents the lightest precipitation (meaning there is a snowfall rate of 0.1cm/hr).
Reflectivity not only depends on the precipitation intensity, but also the type of precipitation. Snow generally reflects less radar energy than rain. Consequently, moderate to heavy snow can appear light in intensity. Meanwhile, ice pellets and hail are highly reflective, thus light ice pellets or hail can appear as heavy precipitation.

This satellite images animation shows the Winter Olympic Games Sochi area and surrondings with the global observations of the cloud cover coming from the data of the geostationary satellite Meteosat 7. The animation is updated every 30 minutes.
Geostationary satellites are used to monitor atmospheric conditions on a more-or-less continual basis. In actuality, they make complete scans of the visible globe every 15 minutes. The satellite covers the Black Sea and Sea of Azov area including all the Sochi Winter Olympic Games area. Weather satellites are used to get a space-bird's eye view of Earth's atmosphere.
There are two main types of weather satellites: polar orbiting and geostationary. Both monitor and produce the following parameters: Day and night cloud images and low-level cloud and fog images, images showing the amounts of water vapor at various altitudes in the lower atmosphere, land temperatures and sea surface temperatures. Winds are calculated by measuring cloud motion. Other data are: the amounts of solar energy being reflected by various parts of the Earth, infrared energy or heat leaving the Earth locations of forest fires, the estimatiations of precipitation amounts and the total amounts of ozone above different locations

Discovering Dirty Jobs in the Sun City
EL PASO — Down in the West Texas town of El Paso... a man has become king of a certain kind of throne by answering the call of dooty.
"They get it against the walls and they get it up on the rim of it. I don't know if they don't use the seat of what, but they miss," said Tavo Alvarado.
Alvarado began working for Sarabia's Portable Jons and Blue Sanitation as a service technician two years ago... and he says business keeps "piling up."
"I get all sorts of stuff out of this thing," said Alvarado.
Alvarado describes his job as a "crapshoot" because he never knows what he'll find when he arrives on scene to clean... which sometimes really pees him off... but never leaves him down in the dumps.
"I guess they don't act like that at home so it kind of surprises you that they do here. You get beer bottles and all that out of them," said Alvarado.
Alvarado says as a service technician... "urine" trouble when you stumble upon... a tip-over.
"If it falls sideways or backwards, it's not bad because everything stays in, but when they come forward everything comes out. That's when it's really bad," said Alvarado.
Good thing this isn't smellivision... but Alvarado says the stench smells like money to him.
"It's not really that bad. I mean, I guess after a while you get used to it. My kids smell it on me, but I don't smell it. I think I smell alright," said Alvarado.
Becoming number one in the number two business one jon at a time.

Paranoid Penguin - Building a Secure Squid Web Proxy, Part I
Consider the venerable Web proxy—back when the Internet was new to most of us, setting up a Web proxy was a convenient way to grant users of an otherwise non-Internet-connected network access to the World Wide Web. The proxy also provided a convenient point to log outbound Web requests, to maintain whitelists of allowed sites or blacklists of forbidden sites and to enforce an extra layer of authentication in cases where some, but not all, of your users had Internet privileges.
Nowadays, of course, Internet access is ubiquitous. The eclipsing of proprietary LAN protocols by TCP/IP, combined with the technique of Network Address Translation (NAT), has made it easy to grant direct access from "internal" corporate and organizational networks to Internet sites. So the whole idea of a Web proxy is sort of obsolete, right?
Actually, no.
After last month's editorial, we return to technical matters—specifically, to the venerable but assuredly not obsolete Web proxy. This month, I describe, in depth, the security benefits of proxying your outbound Web traffic, and some architectural and design considerations involved with doing so. In subsequent columns, I'll show you how to build a secure Web proxy using Squid, the most popular open-source Web proxy package, plus a couple of adjunct programs that add key security functionality to Squid.
The last time I discussed proxies in this space was in my December 2002 article "Configuring and Using an FTP Proxy". (Where does the time go?) A quick definition, therefore, is in order.
The concept of a Web proxy is simple. Rather than allowing client systems to interact directly with Web servers, a Web proxy impersonates the server to the client, while simultaneously opening a second connection to the Web server on the client's behalf and impersonating the client to that server. This is illustrated in Figure 1.
Because Web proxies have been so common for so long, all major Web browsers can be configured to communicate directly through Web proxies in a "proxy-aware" fashion. Alternatively, many Web proxies support "transparent" operation, in which Web clients are unaware of the proxy's presence, but their traffic is diverted to the proxy via firewall rules or router policies.
Just because nowadays it's easy to interconnect TCP/IP networks directly doesn't mean you always should. If a nasty worm infects systems on your internal network, do you want to deal with the ramifications of the infection spreading outward, for example, to some critical business partner with whom your users communicate over the Internet?
In many organizations, network engineers take it for granted that all connected systems will use a "default route" that provides a path out to the Internet. In other organizations, however, it's considered much less risky to direct all Web traffic out through a controlled Web proxy to which routes are internally published and to use no default route whatsoever at the LAN level.
This has the effect of allowing users to reach the Internet via the Web proxy—that is, to surf the Web—but not to use the Internet for non-Web applications, such as IRC, on-line gaming and so forth. It follows that what end users can't do, neither can whatever malware that manages to infect their systems.
Obviously, this technique works only if you've got other types of gateways for the non-Web traffic you need to route outward, or if the only outbound Internet traffic you need to deal with is Web traffic. My point is, a Web proxy can be a very useful tool in controlling outbound Internet traffic.
What if your organization is in a regulated industry, in which it's sometimes necessary to track some users' Web access? You can do that on your firewall, of course, but generally speaking, it's a bad idea to make a firewall log more than you have to for forensics purposes. This is because logging is I/O-intensive, and too much of it can impact negatively the firewall's ability to fulfill its primary function, assessing and dealing with network transactions. (Accordingly, it's common practice mainly to log "deny/reject" actions on firewalls and not to log "allowed" traffic except when troubleshooting.)
A Web proxy, therefore, provides a better place to capture and record logs of Web activity than on firewalls or network devices.
Another important security function of Web proxies is blacklisting. This is an unpleasant topic—if I didn't believe in personal choice and freedom, I wouldn't have been writing about open-source software since 2000—but the fact is that many organizations have legitimate, often critical, reasons for restricting their users' Web access.
A blacklist is a list of forbidden URLs and name domains. A good blacklist allows you to choose from different categories of URLs to block, such as social networking, sports, pornography, known spyware-propagators and so on. Note that not all blacklist categories necessarily involve restricting personal freedom per se; some blacklists provide categories of "known evil" sites that, regardless of whatever content they're actually advertising, are known to try to infect users with spyware or adware, or otherwise attack unsuspecting visitors.
And, I think a lot of Web site visitors do tend to be unsuspecting. The classic malware vector is the e-mail attachment—an image or executable binary that you trick the recipient into double-clicking on. But, what if you could execute code on users' systems without having to trick them into doing anything but visit a Web page?
In the post-Web 2.0 world, Web pages nearly always contain some sort of executable code (Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, .NET, PHP and so on), and even if your victim is running the best antivirus software with the latest signatures, it won't examine any of that code, let alone identify evil behavior in it. So, sure enough, the "hostile Web site" has become the cutting edge in malware propagation and identity theft.
Phishing Web sites typically depend on DNS redirection (usually through cache poisoning), which involves redirecting a legitimate URL to an attacker's IP address rather than that site's real IP, so they're difficult to protect against in URL or domain blacklists. (At any rate, none of the free blacklists I've looked at include a phishing category.) Spyware, however, is a common blacklist category, and a good blacklist contains thousands of sites known to propagate client-side code you almost certainly don't want executed on your users' systems.
Obviously, no URL blacklist ever can cover more than a tiny fraction of the actual number of hostile Web sites active at any given moment. The real solution to the problem of hostile Web sites is some combination of client/endpoint security controls, better Web browser and operating system design, and in advancing the antivirus software industry beyond its reliance on virus signatures (hashes of known evil files), which it's been stuck on for decades.
Nevertheless, at this very early stage in our awareness of and ability to mitigate this type of risk, blacklists add some measure of protection where presently there's very little else. So, regardless of whether you need to restrict user activity per se (blocking access to porn and so forth), a blacklist with a well-maintained spyware category may be all the justification you need to add blacklisting capabilities to your Web proxy. SquidGuard can be used to add blacklists to the Squid Web proxy.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Looking for your next weekend read? I have a great springy one for you. In Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith, the end of the world is nigh. Austin Szerba, his girlfriend Shann, and his best friend Robby live in fictional Ealing, Iowa. The trio occupy themselves the same way most small-town 16-year-olds do — skateboarding, eating pizza, driving into Waterloo to see movies, and trying to figure out who they are and what they want out of life.
But their world is turned upside-down when giant praying mantises rampage through Ealing. The big bugs are hungry — for PEOPLE. This tale of survival, friendship, identity, and growing up has a sense of Vonnegut-esque humor so fresh that once I started, I couldn't put it down.

A man entered a bar, accompanied, for some reason, by a flamingo. From the look of its ankle bracelet it was obviously female.
The man ordered a few drinks, and paid the bartender the exact amount of money, including tip, when he left.
He did this again and again and again…..
Finally, the bartender asked, "How do you always manage to have the exact amount of your tab every time you pay it?"
"Well," replied the man, a few years ago I was walking on the beach and found a bottle with a genie in it. When I freed him, the genie granted me two wishes."
"My first wish was to always have the right amount of money in my pocket to pay whatever I owe."
"Well since you seem willing to answer my questions," the bartender said "what's with the flamingo?"
"Oh, my second wish was for a chick with long legs!!"
For: Don Roark (From yesterday)
Here is the rest of the "Spell Check" poem.
I was thanking Mpeters for posting it on Sunday. (Which is where I got this copy.):-)
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
The above is the third comment I've put up today that doesn't have a reply or delete button. Is anyone else having this problem?
Nope … found your reply the first time.
Then there's the joke about the skunk, the deer and the giraffe in a bar … oops … can't post that one!
Aye the Wiz ordered the Flamingo from a Texas branch of Amazon.com….So Billy Joe Bob tells me.
Wiz vs. HOA – I'll root for Wiz.
I know I have a problem when I read the joke, but the first thing I thought when I read "ankle bracelet" was, "The flamingo was a prisoner?"
Wait, what? "Lot's"? Someone in the lettering department needs to do a little grammar research.
I've heard that there are more lawn flamingos in New Jersey than there are real ones in the rest of the country.
Henry finally has a playmate.
ok chez moi.
I didn't catch that. It's one thing to have some errors in the comments, but it seems like cartoons should be able to avoid obvious ones like that. Don't they have editors? Of course, I wouldn't have noticed if it hadn't been pointed out, so maybe it's not so obvious.
Errant apostrophe! :-(
Why are plastic flamingos such popular lawn ornaments? They look tacky to me.

Is Global Test Market a scam, or is it a legit and paying paid survey company?… When it comes to making money with online surveys, GlobalTestMarket is a name that you hear often.
Paid surveys provide an opportunity for everyday people to get paid for giving their opinion about products and services that they use in their every day lives. Taking paid surveys for money is a great way to make some extra cash in your spare time. The only problem is that with all the survey scams out there, finding legit companies that you can rely on, is getting harder and harder.
Need Extra Cash For Free?Try Vindale; They pay you to take surveys, do trials, and so much more. Give it a try. Its free anyway.
So, the question is where does GTM falls? Is Global Test Market legitimate or is it just another paid survey scam?…
Here is my Global Test Market review…
Is Global Test Market Legitimate?
No, GTM is not a scam. In fact, it is owned by GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), one of the most reputable market research companies, who has been conducting studies for manufacturers and companies since 1999.
Global Test Market operates in more than 60 different countries, and according to them, they have over 1400 clients/companies who use their services for conducting market research studies. So, when it comes to market research, GlobalTestMarket is one of the most well-known and biggest companies out there, which means, it's definitely not a scam.
Global Test Market Rewards
Global Test Market is a free paid surveys company, so you don't have to pay anything to join. As a member of GlobalTestMarket, you will be rewarded for your opinion about variety of products and services in all kind of industries, such as Movies, Restaurants, Automobiles, Consumer products, etc.
For every online survey you complete, you receive what are called "market points", which can be converted to cash. An average survey that takes about 10 minuets to compete, earns you around 100 market points.
On the top of the money you earn taking paid surveys as a Global Test Market panel member, you will automatically be entered to their sweepstakes for daily and monthly cash drawings, each time you take an online survey.
Global Test Market Points Value
Every 1000 market points equals to $50. And once you have accumulated a 1000 market points, you can ask to be paid. Your Check will arrive in your mailbox in about 2-3 weeks.
Global Test Market International
As I mentioned, they operate in lots of other countries, conducting studies for manufacturers and companies. In order to join GTM, you must be resident of a country where they accept members from. If you don't live in the US, and would like to join Global Test Market, you can register using the appropriate links below.
There are hundreds of free survey sites out there, which many of them fall into the paid surveys scam category. But Global Test Market is not one of them. In fact, GTM is a member of BBB, and has been awarded the BBB Accredited Business seal. So, you have nothing to worry, if you want to join Global Test Market.
