This country is in trouble and bold leadership is needed. As someone that has had the privilege to vet these candidates as closely as just about anybody else has, I've come to the conclusion there are several good, Christian people running that most years I would vote for.
However, this isn't most years.
Sadly, there are only two candidates offering a real means by which to actually undo that which the Left has done to this country for the past 50 years, and not just conservative platitudes. One of those candidates is Ron Paul, but his foreign policy is naive at best and reckless at worst. The other is Newt Gingrich, who has campaigned on what I believe is the most important issue facing us as a people—the loss of the rule of law.
I understand Newt has taken positions and done things in his personal life I do not agree with, but to his credit he has come on my radio program and been very transparent about those things, and has shown humility and a willingness to be transparent in the process. He has signed the Personhood Pledge I advocated for. He has offered one of the most articulate defenses of marriage and the family I have ever read from a candidate. He has agreed to never sign a budget into law that includes a plug nickel for an abortion provider. He has agreed to seek personhood legislation and a stronger defense of marriage act that would limit the judicial oligarchs' ability to legislate from the bench.
With these steps he has shown the leadership this country desperately needs. Electing another Obamney from the ruling class changes nothing. Electing another nice conservative with no proven ability to govern or a killer instinct to take on the system changes nothing, even if it makes us all feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Steve Deace's nationally-syndicated radio show airs coast-to-coast each weeknight from 9-Midnight eastern, including many of the Salem Radio Network's top conservative talk stations in markets like New York City, Houston, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Minneapolis. His radio program has been featured in major media such as Fox News, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Politico, The Weekly Standard, and National Review among others. In 2013 he wrote the second-most shared column of the year for USA Today, defending "Duck Dynasty" and traditional American values. In addition to being a contributor for Town Hall.com, Deace is also a columnist for The Washington Times.

Gambia Estuary
The Gambia Estuary is the western half of the Gambia River, which runs 700 miles (1,130 km) through West Africa. The estuary is tidal throughout and discharges about 528,000 gallons (2 million liters) per second into the Atlantic during the rainy season, but only 528 gallons (2,000 liters) in the dry season. It contains abundant stocks of fish and shellfish, including various species of barracuda, catfish, and shrimp. James Island, near the estuary's mouth, was a former slave transfer point and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Used Car History Report
Wikicars, a place to share your automotive knowledge
When buying a used car these days, you can easily check the vehicle's history before you buy your car. The AutoCheck vehicle history database contains over four-billion records collected from thousands of public and private sources on more than a half billion vehicles.
Obtaining a Report
At no cost, one may get a record summary or flood check These reports do not contain all of the information that is contained on a full vehicle history report.
Otherwise, one may purchase a single vehicle history report or purchase unlimited reports for 60 days. Most car dealers are also happy to run reports for free on vehicles they have for sale. Thousands of dealers buy the report and then make them available for free to potential car buyers on sites like CarsDirect.com.
Users can also inspect the car manufacturing year
Users enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the Web site to get their record summary, then buy a reports, or they can purchase a subscription for future use when they have their VINs. The database can only be accessed for vehicles that are model year 1981 and later.
What vehicle history reports contain
They typically provide information about the vehicle's title, registration and usage history. Each report shows the history for that vehicle, such as salvage or junk history; damage from hail, flood or fire; mileage discrepancies or odometer rollback; and gray market vehicles. Vehicle history reports also show lemon history; vehicles designated as rentals, taxis or fleet usage; abandoned or forfeited vehicles; records of theft; and liens that represent ownership interests or unpaid judgments. They report on accident damage when that information is provided to the database.

1994 – Annual ReportWhat a year. For high-performance Pentium® processors, 1994 was the best of times—and the worst of times. Just as the Pentium processor was emerging at year-end as one of 1994's great successes, it was engulfed in a controversy over a floating-point problem in the processor. We ultimately took a $475 million pretax charge in the fourth quarter to cover replacement and write-off of these processors.This episode reflects a strategic turning point. Quite simply, the PC is now a standard consumer tool used by a wide range of people, from preschoolers to university researchers. Many of these PC customers have more demanding—and varied—expectations for product quality, performance and service than computer users have in the past. In many ways, Intel has facilitated this transition:• We have invested heavily in development and manufacturing capacity so we can supply high-end processors in the volumes needed for a consumer marketplace. We continued the trend of record strategic spending this year, with investments of $3.55 billion in capital and R&D, a 22 percent increase over 1993 levels.• We have been promoting our microprocessors with wide-ranging education and marketing programs describing the benefits of Intel microprocessors.• We have been working steadily to bring down the price and expand the capabilities of our chips to make PCs a better buy than ever before.Overall, our strategy seems to be working. Even throughout last December's crisis, sales of Pentium processor-based systems continued to set new records.Read the full 1994 Intel Annual Report.

Please note that our meetings begin at 5:00 PM and and go until 9:00 PM. from now on.
Our meetings are casual, so the reason for extending the hours is that many want and need to come to the meetings in time to get home before dark, but many can't come till later when they get off work. Come when you can, stay as long or short as you wish. You will be welcome. Our new location is Hancock Fabrics at 9609 E Independence Blvd., Matthews. We will be in the classroom on the left in back of the store.
Welcome to our website. Let us share our terrific organization. We make, collect, and distribute hand made blankets to children who are seriously ill, in crisis, or who have experienced trauma. We meet monthly and enjoy each others' company on a casual basis. Please feel free to join us on any second Tuesday of the month in the classroom inside the Hancock Fabric store at 9609 E Independence Blvd. in Matthews. We meet from 5 to 9 P.M. and tend to our blankets as well as share ideas, skills, and information. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
We ask that no fleece blankets be left at our drop off sites until further notice. It takes twice as long to "fix" a poorly made blanket as it does to make one from scratch, and we have an over abundance of them at this time. Remaking a blanket takes up valuable time that we can use to make quilts or knitted blankets as well as fleece. If you are scheduling a group Make a Blanket Session, please contact us and we will be most happy to come to your event, bring supplies needed, and teach your group the proper technique for making better fleece blankets for our area. The national organization requires that the blankets we distribute be made to certain standards and if they don't meet those requirements, we cannot deliver them to the children without substantial remaking on our part. We hope you understand and help us in this endeavor.
Our meetings are very casual, so jeans are welcome. We like to receive donations of hand made blankets, cloth, yarn, sewing supplies, money, and help with making blankets from donated materials . If you know of a child who needs a blanket donation, please contact us at the above addresses.
We hope you will help us provide comfort and security to children in some type of special need by making blankets or contributing to our efforts. Some of the agencies we distribute our blankets through are: Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte, CMC Levine, Presbyterian Hospitals, Blume Cancer Treatment Center, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police, Kindermourn, A Child's Place, Thompson Childrens Center, Salvation Army Center for Hope Homeless Shelters and Free Children's clinic, Mint Hill Police and Fire, Matthews Police, and others. If your organization deals with children in crisis, and you'd like to receive some of our blankets for them, please contact us.
Celebration of our 15,000th blanket delivery
We celebrated the delivery of our 15,000th blanket at Fontanella's Italian Restaurant in Matthews, NC, on April 26, 2014. It was lots of fun and the food was delicious.

ILLINOIS (WIFR) -- The State of Illinois is closing a big loop hole in its breathalyzer program for first time DUI offenders. It's a story we first told you about in February.
The Blood Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device Program has been upgraded. It now comes with a camera. So every time a first time DUI offender blows into the device to start their car, their picture will be taken. The photo will then go into a database. It could be used to prove the offender had someone blow for them or to prove they weren't the one driving. A failed breathalyzer test could get them into further trouble. All related costs are covered by the DUI offender.

Bugzilla – Bug 5740
DCHPD server requires option "host-name"
Last modified: 2008-02-13 12:03:14
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
xen hypervisor/DHCPD server is Ubuntu feisty fawn 7.04
Probably specific to Ubuntu because Tim hasn't run into this before.
The "host-name" option to the dhcpd.conf file is required, but not present in
the static entries being made, in order to set the client hostname. Thus when
you create a VM through the workspace service, and you specify hostnames for
association entries on the WS layer
eg. /usr/local/globus/etc/workspace_service/associations/sicily
The hostname is not set on the VM when it boots.
root@greece:~# uname -a
Linux greece 2.6.19-4-server #2 SMP Thu Apr 5 06:07:34 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
% man dhcpd-options
option host-name string;
This option specifies the name of the client. The name may or may
not be qualified with the local domain name (it is preferable to use the
domain-name option to specify the domain name). See
RFC 1035 for character set restrictions. This option is only honored
by dhclient-script(8) if the hostname for the client machine is not set.
First test, after I've created the VM, I grab the console to show that hostname
is none. Then I add "host-name" to the "dhcpd.conf" file entry, and rerun
dhclient and presto I have "mtetna" as my hostname.

Second I add the patch below, and presto the VM has the correct hostname.
root@greece:/opt/workspace-TP1.3.0/bin# !diff
diff dhcp-conf-alter.py /tmp/dhcp-conf-alter.py
< entrystr += ' option host-name "%s";\n' % entry.hostname
Here is what the output looks like on the hypervisor:

NOTE: If hostname is already set, it WILL NOT be reset using dhclient during
Thanks, will add that patch after some testing. It's either your server or
client that is not responding to only the "host XYZ" construct in the
dhcpd.conf file.
The man pages I'm looking at only talk of overriding "host XYZ" with "host-name
XYZ" which implies it's not necessary. But it also implies it won't hurt if
this is necessary for some server or client versions.
I see from your report the client in the VM is ISC v3.0.4 -- what is the server
package (is it ISC?) and version?

Four-Stroke Cycle
In order to convert gas into motion, an engine operates in a four-stroke cycle. Also known as the Otto cycle, almost all cars currently operate in this manner. That's why they're sometimes called a four-stroke engine.
With stroke one, the piston is in the top position, the intake valve opens and the piston moves down to enable the engine to take in a cylinder-full of air and gasoline. Only the tiniest drop of gasoline needs to be mixed into the air for this to work.
With stroke two, the piston moves back up to compress the gasoline/air mixture.
With stroke three, the spark plug provides a spark to ignite the gasoline. The charge in the cylinder explodes, driving the piston back down again. This is also known as the power stroke, which is the main source of the internal combustion engine's torque and power.
With stroke four, the piston hits the bottom of its stroke, the exhaust valve opens and the exhaust gas is pushed out of the cylinder as the piston moves back up. The exhaust gas passes through the catalytic converter, exiting the vehicle through the tailpipe. With the completion of the cycle, the engine is ready to start the process all over again. In a car moving at 60 mph, it does this about 600 times per minute.

Why is a HOLD placed on large deposits from a next door personal bank acct?
Posted by
GREENEVILLE, TENNESSEE -- I made a $12,000 deposit @ 3:45 PM, Thurs., 1/20/11 into a First Tenn Bank personal account that I've held since '94. This deposit check was written on another personal checking account held at a solid Greeneville regional bank; to pay a First Tennessee Visa Card payment due on 1/23/11. As always, I went online on the Fri., the 21st to pay my Visa payment via transfer but the money was 'not available', as tho I had never made a deposit.
I called a lady that I've been doing business with for years at the E Branch First Tennessee Bank and her first question was, "Did you deposit that here or downtown and before 4?" Told her I happened to be downtown and knew it needed to be in by 4 PM to get into my account the next day so that is where I deposited it. She said, "May I call you back?" and I said okay. Waited a couple hours and called her so she said because made the deposit downtown that I needed to talk to them, so she would transfer me. Also, informed me that $4,900 on HOLD til 1/24/11 and $7,000 on HOLD til 1/31/11.
The lady that answered the phone down at the Main Branch said the lady that actually PUT the HOLD on my deposit was at lunch and would be gone the FULL hour. She asked if she could help me so I told her my problem and she wanted to know if I had $12,000 more to pay off my Visa card!!!!!!! I was getting stressed at this point and asked, who has $12,000 extra just lying around?!!!! She stated, "don't scream at me" but was as tho she wanted someone in the room with her to THINK I was screaming. Then, she said that if I had brought a cashier's check from my other bank, there would not have been a HOLD in the first place. Now the bank whose check was on hold is right beside the bank holding it! I asked if there was somebody else to whom I could appeal and she said, you can hold for the Main St Branch Mgr.
He gets on the phone, I explain my problem and also, that I've made these personal banking deposits before with no problems what-so-ever at the E Branch on AJ Hwy. With no humanity, he stated that several years ago the federal gov't changed the rules for HOLDS to be put on large deposits so that would include ALL large deposits. Told him I felt as if $12,000 intended for a bank Visa payment had been stolen from me. I had already been on the First Tennessee Bank website and to the Question: Why is a hold placed on large deposits? It answers: On a case-by-case basis, a hold may be placed on deposits more than $5,000 to verify funds. You get the picture but by this time, my blood pressure was up and I knew that I needed to get off this phone and fix my own problem but for sure, stay away from this bank so I said, "Thanks so much, God Bless you" to which he said, "uh-huh", and hung up.
I then took just about all money out of my interest bearing account to pay my VISA Bill. This is not the first time that the main branch has rigidly refused to do what would be right for the customer on a 'case by case basis'.

This is standard practice, as was explained to you. My banks put the amount of the "hold" right on the deposit slip.
As a deadbeat credit card holder and bank hugger, I don't see anything the bank did wrong here. I have never considered asking for an exception to the hold policy - I just didn't expect to use the funds for a week or more.

Why didn't you just pay the visa card from the first bank account instead of transferring it to a second account?
yoke on 01/22/2011:
What did your receipt say as to when the funds will be available. Just because the bank is right next door means nothing.
tnchuck100 on 01/22/2011:
spiderman has presented the most burning question. Why was an unnecessary step added to the VISA payment process?
Obsfucation on 01/22/2011:
Checks clear through the Federal Reserve system. The fact that the banks are next door to each other doesn't mean that the check doesn't have to travel to another part of the country to clear.
Anonymous on 01/22/2011:
Any bank would place a hold on a large check deposit like that, regardless of where it is being drawn from...I would have just withdrew the cash from one bank and placed it into the other.
olie on 01/22/2011:
My first thought was, "Why not just pay online from the bank to the VISA card?"
The hold is actually to protect both you and the bank. Sadly, there are people who write bogus checks, and others who accept them. The hold prevents the recipient(customer or bank)from losing large amounts of money.
In addition, both banks are required by law to report to the Feds any transaction of over $10,000 or more. Be sure you keep all the records of the withdrawal and deposit, as well as where that money came from.
tnchuck100 on 01/22/2011:
olie, please site the law "to report to the Feds any transaction of over $10,000". I would be interest in reading that one.
Anonymous on 01/22/2011:
A CTR is required for every deposit, withdrawal or exchange over $10,000 in cash. Wire transfers or transactions by check and non-cash means are not subject to the CTR filing requirement. The requirements apply to all accounts, whether individual, group or corporate, regardless of their size. Banks are also required to aggregate all cash transactions made by or on behalf of an account on the same business day and at all branch locations. Transactions over the weekend or on holidays are treated as if made on the following business day. If the aggregate total is $10,000 or more, a CTR is required.
tnchuck100 on 01/22/2011:
ript, I knew about the cash rule but I have not seen the one that covers ALL transactions.

The CTR requirement does NOT apply to check and non-cash transactions or I would be typing this from a cozy prison cell.
GenuineNerd on 01/22/2011:
It is bank policy to put holds on large checks. I recently borrowed money against a life insurance policy to pay off credit card debt...when the check arrived, I was told by my bank that so much money would be held until a certain date, and the rest of the funds, at a later date. I see no problem with that policy...the bank does want to protect itself from potential fraud...there have been too many people (and banks) who were burned over phony cashiers checks...usually scams pulled via unsuspecting eBay and Craigslist transactions in which the bidder or buyer pays more than what the transaction is worth and the person sending the check asks that the excess be wired back, only to find that the check issued was counterfeit, stolen, or fraudulent.
ticia232 on 01/22/2011:
Why don't you just get a cashier's check from the other bank?
Since the personal check is on hold you can do a stop payment on that check and get a cashier's check from the other bank. (Been there, done that.)
Voila! Everything fixed.
WW on 01/02/2013:
I had the same issues with a certified check being held at my credit union. I released the money in increments... I think its total BS. A certified check is supposed to be the same as cash and guaranteed.

First Tennessee Bank is no longer a good place for commercial business.
Posted by
TENNESSEE -- I have done business with First Tennessee Bank for over 20 years mostly in commercial loans. In commercial lending you are set on a 5 year plan where they re-adjust your rate and start your amortization over. Out of the blue during a 5 year re-adjustment time period they decide that after all the years of business and all of the interest I have paid them they no longer want to redo the loan. In all the years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest I have paid them they say they are done with me. I have never been late and never missed a payment. They dragged their feet in letting me know anything about what their decision was until about 10 days after the maturity date expired. Then they charge me prime plus 8% until I could find another bank to take the loan. They also had a lawyer draw up papers wanting my to sign saying that I was delinquent in paying the balance and charged me over $800.00 in lawyer fees that they tacked onto the end of the payoff. I have heard of this happening to several other people also. They seem to be driving their good customers away. I had no problem finding another bank to take my loan and will for sure NEVER do business with them again. It took me about 4 weeks to get the new loan in place after waiting on appraisals, title work, etc... which compounded the high interest. I have also made it a priority to get everybody I know to drop them which I have been successful in doing so. So far to date I have had 5 people close accounts with First TN after hearing my story. The result has been pulled deposits from First Tn and closed accounts to the tune of over $30,000.00. They do not have anybody any longer local to handle Commercial loans and the people I have been dealing with on the phone and emails are very harsh.

Banking is a harsh business, and tough decisions are often made. The bank must have had what it felt was a good reason to not renew the loan.
I doubt the $30,000 that you allege others have withdrawn on your say so means much to the bank in the grand scheme of things. Decisions are made and let the chips fall where they may is their attitude.
Did they tell you why they no longer wished to loan you their money?
Edit - here is a 3-day old story featuring an officer of First Tennessee, which says small business and personal credit is very hard to come by at this time. You may be the victim of the longterm fallout of the 2008 crisis.

Thieves and Crooks
Posted by
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- The First Tennessee Bank is a thief. Paid off a home equity loan in a refinance to build two buildings at 11E Mini Storage. Ended up overpaying due to payments in the mail when closeout was done by other bank. Took me 76 days and 6-8 phone calls to get my money. Of course, they didn't pay me any interest or late fee for their tardiness. The office of the President of FT told me today, that the delay was just the way their system works, tough luck.
Run, don't walk to get your business to another bank so those crooks don't get you too. I bank at First Bank and Trust, who is great.

Horrible Website and Customer Service
Posted by
Tried to set up my online banking enrollment. Three phone calls and over an hour of my time later, was transferred to a "technician" who informed me that the website everyone else in customer service told me to go to was the wrong website. Then when filling out the information, was told that selecting "no" for "would you like online bill pay" will result in an error screen and that I can't select that (which no one else in customer service seemed to realize).
Terrible education of the employees (re: understanding the company, websites, etc.), horrible website, and rather rude reps who make you do the same thing 3-4 times, all the while when you are trying to explain technology and how to do their job to them. Total waste of time, only bank here because my corporate HSA requires it.

Long time customer gets screwed over refinance inquiry
Posted by
I called for information about refinance rates and spoke with a representative of First Tennessee. He went over the terms with me on the phone and I gave him my credit card information. When I received the paperwork, I was dumbfounded:
Closing costs were nearly 30% higher!
I called and spoke with a representative and was transferred to a Mr. Wood. I canceled my loan refinance and then the rip-off began. I was so surprised at the abject rudeness and blatant out and out lies that Mr. Wood spewed, that I was prompted to call my brother to ask what I should do. He directed me to his mortgage person who advised me that I could pay points and get a much better loan.
huh. I ASKED First Tenn about this, and they said I could NOT do that to my advantage!
Further, they never advised me that I could have the settlement at a settlement office of MY choice! (because that would have saved me money, too!)
The more I found out, the more leery I became of doing business with First Tennessee via their representatives at something called "mortgagefamily.com"! (this year, I see, that address is pointing to yet another domain: "www.mortgageloanstatus.com") Mr. Wood's threat that they had a tape of the conversation, was met by my plea, "Please LISTEN to it, then!" Despite this, they charged my credit card and my credit card company asked me to file paperwork that would charge them with fraud. I took my mortgage and went elsewhere after being with First Tennessee for over ten years. I have not received credit for the $500 that First Tennessee took from me and I have done nothing but tell everyone who will listen about this whole event. It's been over two years, but hey - I have plenty of time to spend.

I'm no expert but the discount points that are available with various loan programs that are being offered through various mortgage companies are never the same. Whether one program is advantageous over another depends on a lot of factors, some of which might even be quite subjective. But it's something for you to decide, not one of these guys who is trying to sell you a mortgage. The fact that two different guys tell you different things likely reflects nothing more than the fact that they have different programs to sell.
If you can find a mortgage pimp who's willing to be tell you up front exactly what they are offering and on what terms, you're ahead of the game.
You mentioned two other things: 1) painting a "rosy" picture over the phone as to how much closing costs are and getting a big shock when you see it on the Good Faith Estimate. 2) Not being told that you have the option of picking a settlement office. It's unfortunate but, in my experience, they all do that.
I don't know about the $500 and whether there was any agreement that it would be refundable. Often, the initial payment is used to pay for an appraisal. If First Tennessee did use that to get an appraisal on your behalf, you might be able to get them to provide the appraisal to another lender. If it's two years old, however, that likely would not be worth the trouble.
Anonymous on 10/24/2010:
I am no expert either but that initial fee I paid was for appraisal, credit report, tax transcripts, and application fee. It was non-refundable.
Liyhann on 10/25/2010:
Thanks for your comments. Laws are apparently different in every state. The second mortgage person said that I am by law to be informed I can have a different settlement attorney. In all the times I have purchased homes or refinance, I have never done so without paying points. I remember him making it clear that the money was non-refundable, but I had no idea that he meant: even if he was being fraudulent in his representations! Frankly, I don't remember if the money was specifically for an appraisal, which wasn't done because I canceled so quickly (within days, a week at most when I received the papers)
getoverit says: "If you can find a mortgage pimp who's willing to be tell you up front exactly what they are offering and on what terms, you're ahead of the game."
I guess what you are saying then, is don't do business over the phone - even with your current mortgage company - (at least First Tennessee) because they can tell you whatever they "have" and if you agree to give them an initial fee, you are paying for the luxury of receiving their lies on the phone and the proof of their lies in the mail.
getoverit on 10/25/2010:
To some extent, I'm sure that doing business over the phone is unavoidable. But there's no doubt that what is in writing will carry more weight.
When you say that you "took your mortgage and went elsewhere", I hope that means that you got refinanced on terms that you are happy with. That, certainly, is a much more important than claiming fraud over a $500 charge.
That said, I also hope you are successful with the fraud claim. Like you say, laws are different in different states. But, unfortunately, my guess is that these people have their bases covered. The paperwork probably did say somewhere that you have the right to choose a settlement office. And I bet they are under no obligation to provide you with closing cost info. until you apply. That's when you get a "Good Faith Estimate" that details all that stuff.
They do this all day long and pretty much know what they can get away with.
Best of luck to you. I hope you will let us know how it turns out.

Teller doesn't seem to understand whose money it really is
Posted by
FARRAGUT, TENNESSEE -- After 11 years using the same branch (and they never seemed to know my name or even that they'd ever seen me before), I went in to make a fairly sizable withdrawal. Got a lecture from the teller that they could run out of money and I needed to give them some notice before withdrawing! Is this woman insane?? It's MY money!!!
Hate this bank and no longer use them.

When making a sizable cash withdrawal it is prudent to give the bank a heads up. They do not keep all of their deposits on hand. That is not how banks operate. You are fortunate they let you withdraw a large sum without notice.
trmn8r on 06/09/2013:
What they told you makes sense. I once went to withdrawal only $3 grand, and it was more difficult than I imagined.
The bank doesn't have all its depositors' money in the back room, as odd as that may seem.

Inaccurate credit report
Posted by
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- I used to have a home equity line of credit with First Horizon/First Tennessee. I refinanced it in 2006. Something happened in the refinancing, and First Horizon claimed to not get the payoff check from the other bank for 2-3 weeks. This resulted in a $200 dispute between First Horizon and me for extra interest. First Horizon continues to try to negatively affect my credit report. Even though the disputed $200 payment goes back to 2006 and has now been paid, I have been told by other banks that First Horizon is noting on my credit report that this was "foreclose", which never happened, and that there is a late payment on my credit report within the last few months. I have also been told that First Horizon is showing 4 ninety day late payments, which also never happened. I have contacted First Horizon to get this cleared up, and they refuse to do anything.
So, because of a negative report about a disputed payment 4 years ago, First Horizon is still negatively affecting my credit.
It is impossible to remove negative credit information, even if it's inaccurate.

Legalized Criminals
Posted by
TENNESSEE -- If you want to give away your hard earned money then bank with First Tennessee Bank. Their computer is set to hold all transactions when your balance gets low in the event you overdraw 5 cents they post all the transactions from before you were overdrawn and hit you with numerous $30.00 charges for transactions that were covered when the transaction occurred. It is their policy to rip people off and tell you how profitable they are. I would be profitable too if I could steal hard working folks money as they do.
I checked with 2 other banks who knew of this scam they pull on people. So if you are smart you will steer clear of this bank unless you want to make yourself sick.

Many banks are doing the same thing these days. Gone are the days where you could "play the float" with banks - deposits and withdrawals are almost instantaneous the days.
Bottom line is don't write checks if there isn't money in the account to cover them - that is the only way to make sure you don't get hit with these charges.
Nohandle on 05/10/2009:
Hugh is absolutely correct in that the float game doesn't work anymore. We have, however, heard from many members that some banks have instantaneous withdrawals but deposits tend to take a bit longer. I can't imagine why.
Anonymous on 05/10/2009:
Think about it.... if one was not writing hot checks (or debits) it would be a HUGE benefit to the depositor if they held debit items. Think of all the extra interest they'd have to pay.
BokiBean on 05/10/2009:
Koliqia, never, never, never, never make a mistake and overdraw, or your bank will screw you with no qualms about it. They can make mistakes without excessive penalties, but you cannot. In fact, some of these banks have been paid for their mismanagement...but forget that, just remember that you're the customer now, and customers are going to pay out the wazoo.
Come on over to the credit union side, life is a little more fair there.
Anonymous on 05/10/2009:
I agree with Boki. Life is more desirable on the credit union side and they are more likely to work with their customers in a fair manner. With that said, credit unions will still hit you with NSF fees if you overdraw your account. Make sure to keep your checking account register up to date and make sure there are funds to cover your transactions at the time they are made.
Anonymous on 05/10/2009:
Excellent advice Johnny, on all points.
Ponie on 05/10/2009:
'...if I could steal...money...' So what do you consider that 5¢ you overdraw? Ooops! Forgot. That's just 'borrowing,' not stealing. Well, in that case you have to pay interest on the money you borrowed in the form of overdraft fees.

Horrible Company
Posted by
MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE -- This company is the most horrible place to work in the city much less the most horrible place to bank. It continues to do 'creative posting' so that their customers incur the most about of NSF and overdraft fees. They have this hidden 'courtesy limit' which allows their customers to go overdrawn using their check card specifically designed to created more fees to the bank. On top of that we have been drilled to say "We cannot refund any fees unless it is a bank error". How ridiculous.
I can no longer work for a company that I have no confidence in and goes against everything I believe.

Dashripfock, I applaud your principles there are too few people that posses them these days.
I know what you are saying and itâs not that uncommon. United Missouri Bank did the same thing when they first started up. I had closed out my account 6 months and was still getting bad checks coming to me in the mail and the bank was adding fees on to my closed account. I would stand in line at other banks and here the same story from other people in line.
What they were doing is posting checks two and three times, the trick was next to the check amount there was no check number. So how could you prove anything? The way they got away with it was 1. You canât argue with a computer. 2. They would use the same old crap that people fall for now which is: ânot their fault people can't keep good booksâ Most people do keep good books but because of the attitude they it happened to someone else and not âmeâ the banks just keep doing it. How brain dead can people be?
Very good review!
kingbean on 08/16/2007:
I sort of stumbled upon your comment about First Tennessee Bank and I'm so glad I did.....my son has had business accounts at 3 different banks in West Florida and I monitor the account. It became apparent that there was a "pattern" associated with overdraft fees. The pattern was that there would be "pending" items showing on his account the day I viewed it and the next day the "pending" items would show as "posted" along with a couple of checks that were also clearing. It was interesting to me that even though those "pending" items from the day before had been deducted from the account balance, a day later they were "stacked" so that IF there was a possibility of an overdraft the bank could charge the fee on the 8 debits, (which had already cleared) instead of on the 2 checks that cleared after the debits. I also found an overdraft fee on the account for a cleared check when there was a positive balance on the account.
As far as I'm concerned this is nothing short of usary. There should be some way to get some legislation started to change this outrageous procedure. We've heard the same thing about the fees. The other ridiculous thing is that the bank is taking 2 days to clear local checks. They do it in an attempt to make additional fees. I was so glad to come across your comment, as I didn't actually believe that banks would intentionally stack debits/checks cause the customer the most fees they could. I think I'll file a complaint with the Banking regulators in the State of Florida.

I have recently been kicked out of the bank because the Male Mgr.of the east Nashville branch got his little pink panty's in a wad "if you know what I mean" All I said to him was don't make me get Red Neck on you about these NSF charges.They put my deposits in after my checks and the credit card division also lied about my deposits would go in immediately and so on.It's tough out there and these people have 0 compassion at this branch.I have nothing Bad to say about the Branch in Bellevue TN but the Bank on the East side is a bit queer.Any way my girl went to make a deposit at the branch the other day and the little ball headed nerd had the odosity to tell her she would have to go to another branch because they had a restraining order on me. Well maybe they do but were talking about a deposit this sweet young lady was trying to make. I do not recommend !st Tennessee unless you have lots of doe in your account because they are the Vultures of the industry when it comes to NSF fee's and they will not listen to your side.The avg price for NSF fees in this country are 26.00 they charge top dollar 35.00 and they discriminate no doubt.

I'm nearly done with the community-supported agriculture box's haul of lettuce, although I still have Awesome-Garden-Lady's lettuce to get through. This one is a grape and walnut salad. Next time, I'll probably slice the grapes to make them easier to spear with my fork.
I'm learning that I like these in salads:
I just have to get through enough salads so that I can get back to writing about other things. I'm getting better at photography, though! =)

The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
The water pump may develop a coolant leak resulting in an engine overheating condition.
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.

Lisa Detanna Of Raymond James And Elizabeth Kabler Host A Day At Sunnylands, "Camp David West"
Lisa Detanna, Managing Director and Senior Vice President of Investments at Raymond James, Inc. along with the Los Angeles Wealth Advisory Team of Raymond James recently hosted a special event at Sunnylands, often referred to as "Camp David West," the family home of Walter and Lenore Annenberg who served in prominent roles in the Reagan Administration.
Sunnylands hosted 7 US Presidents and has long been a place for world leaders to gather to solve problems, discuss issues and get to know each other socially while being entertained by celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Gregory Peck and more recently John Legend. The estate sports a golf course and sits on 200 acres. The visitor's center has had over 60,000 guests in its first year of being open to the public.
As noted in "The Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands" in the March 8, 2013 edition of The Beverly Hills Courier, the day began with a tour of the residence, which houses replicas of over a billion dollars in art work, since donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The guests then saw the film in the visitor's center theater about what Sunnylands hopes to accomplish in the future.
At lunch, Lisa gave a presentation about Raymond James and how they help individuals, families, institutions, foundations, endowments and not-for-profit organizations to analyze, plan and choose investments which are conflict-free, non-biased and provide top performance in good markets as well as offer more protection in tough markets. She emphasized Raymond James' philosophy that philanthropy and foundations are an extension of a family.Lisa's connection with the Annenberg family began when she met Marcia Wilson Hobbs, fellow Board Member of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce. Marcia spent time with the Annenberg family as a child when her parents, friends of Lenore and Walter all served together for Ronald Reagan in the 1980's. Marcia introduced Lisa to Elizabeth Kabler, Lenore Annenberg's daughter.

April was the busiest month ever for tornado activity while May hosted the deadliest single tornado on record. Many refuse to talk about the links between tornadoes and climate change. They should check out Bill McKibben's op-ed in the Washington Post.
NOAA offers this: In the following time-lapse animation, April's tornado activity appears across the U.S. in red:
April Tornadoes - NOAA from The Rachel Maddow Show on Vimeo.
From the Washington Post:
Caution: It is vitally important not to make connections. When you see pictures of rubble like this week's shots from Joplin, Mo., you should not wonder: Is this somehow related to the tornado outbreak three weeks ago in Tuscaloosa, Ala., or the enormous outbreak a couple of weeks before that (which, together, comprised the most active April for tornadoes in U.S. history). No, that doesn't mean a thing.
It is far better to think of these as isolated, unpredictable, discrete events. It is not advisable to try to connect them in your mind with, say, the fires burning across Texas — fires that have burned more of America at this point this year than any wildfires have in previous years. Texas, and adjoining parts of Oklahoma and New Mexico, are drier than they've ever been — the drought is worse than that of the Dust Bowl. But do not wonder if they're somehow connected.
I believe the worst tornado season in US history was back in 1925.
Aren't you the guy always writing that weather is different from climate, especially when people sarcastically say that they wish global warming would come sooner when we have record snowfall during the winter or when the high is 50 degrees during Memorial Day?
You can't have it both ways.

Avoiding the recurrence of urinary tract infections
Though there is no perfect solution, a couple of simple tips can help you limit recurrence of urinary tract infection. Read the following ten tips to a healthier lifestyle that will help put an end to the continuous suffering of cystitis.
© Thinkstock
1. Drink plenty: Drinking sufficient amounts of water (between 1.5 and 2 litres a day) to lower urine concentration is the most reliable way to diminish the risk of urinary tract infection. Chances of cystitis are higher in summertime due to increased perspiration and decreased urination – so it's even more important to keep well hydrated during the hotter months.
2. Don't hold back urine: Try to go to the toilet regularly and make sure you don't hold it back too long.
3. Always urinate after sexual intercourse: If cystitis episodes occur following sexual intercourse, remember to systematically urinate when your lovemaking is over, in order to evacuate potential bacteria from your urethra.
4. Avoid heat and humidity: Avoid tight clothes and synthetic underwear, as they increase perspiration and therefore germ proliferation.
5. In the right direction: After having urinated and passed stools, remember to wipe yourself in a front-to-back motion only, to prevent bacteria transfer to your urethra. Also make sure you wash your hands with water and soap every time you use the toilet.
6. Protect yourself from constipation: If you're regularly constipated, eat a balanced diet including more green vegetables, fruits and fibres. Take your meals at regular hours and engage in more physical activity. Stool stagnation in the rectum area is a germ spread factor you should avoid. See more on constipation.
7. Too much of a good thing: Don't wash your genitals more than twice daily, avoid vaginal douching, and use soft products respecting vaginal pH (5 to 7), and no antiseptic products. You have your own natural flora that helps protect you, so don't wash it all away in an imagined quest for cleanliness!
8. Pay extra attention to personal hygiene during menstruation: During menstruation, regularly change tampons or external protection to avoid a build up of bacteria.
9. No self-medication, no matter how often you get a urinary tract infection: The efficacy of old medications found around your medicine cabinet is often dubious, as they may mask symptoms without stopping the infection. In this case, risks of complications are higher. Do not exceed prescribed doses or the duration of treatment, for fear that bacteria might grow resistant and infection recur.
10. A shared responsibility: Ask your partner to take a urine test as some form of infection may be transmitted from him to you during sexual intercourse, provoking your urinary tract infections. If the test reveals a sexually transmitted infection, it is imperative that you both seek medical attention.

Alpha Particles
Alpha Particles
This is a fact sheet about a chemical that may be found in some public or private drinking water supplies. It may cause health problems if found in amounts greater than the health standard set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
What is an alpha particle?
Alpha particles (symbol a ) are a type of ionizing radiation ejected by the nuclei of some unstable atoms. They are large subatomic fragments consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Who discovered alpha particles?
Ernest Rutherford, an English scientist, discovered alpha particles in 1899 while working with uranium. Rutherford's studies contributed to our understanding of the atom and its nucleus through the Rutherford-Bohr planetary model of the atom.
What are the properties of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus having two protons and two neutrons. It is a relatively heavy, high-energy particle, with a positive charge of +2 from its two protons. Alpha particles have a velocity in air of approximately one-twentieth the speed of light, depending upon the individual particle's energy.
What are the conditions that lead to alpha particle emission?
When the ratio of neutrons to protons in the nucleus is too low, certain atoms restore the balance by emitting alpha particles. For example: Polonium-210 has 126 neutrons and 84 protons, a ratio of 1.50 to 1. Following radioactive decay by the emission of an alpha particle, the ratio becomes 124 neutrons to 82 protons, or 1.51 to 1.
Alpha emitting atoms tend to be very large atoms (that is, they have high atomic numbers). With some exceptions, naturally occurring alpha emitters have atomic numbers of at least 82 (the element lead).
Which radionuclides are alpha emitters?
There are many alpha emitting radioactive elements, both natural and manmade. You can find fact sheets for several key alpha emitters at the Radionuclides page:
Alpha Emitter
Atomic Number
What happens to atoms during alpha emission?
The nucleus is initially in an unstable energy state. An internal change takes place in the unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is ejected leaving a decay product. The atom has then lost two protons along with two neutrons.
Since the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element, the loss of an alpha particle actually changes the atom to a different element. For example, polonium-210 is an alpha emitter. During radioactive decay, it loses two protons, and becomes a lead-206 atom, which is stable (i.e., nonradioactive).
What uses do alpha emitters have?
The positive charge of alpha particles is useful in some industrial processes. For example, radium-226 may be used to treat cancer, by inserting tiny amounts of radium into the tumorous mass. Polonium-210 serves as a static eliminator in paper mills and other industries. The alpha particles, due to their positive charge, attract loose electrons, thus reducing static charge.
Some smoke detectors take advantage of alpha emissions from americium-241 to help create an electrical current. The alpha particles strike air molecules within a chamber, knocking electrons loose. The resulting positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons, create a current as they flow between positively and negatively charged plates within the chamber. When smoke particles enter the device, the charged particles attract them, breaking the current and setting off the alarm.
Exposure to Alpha Emitters
How do alpha emitters get into the environment?
Most alpha emitters occur naturally in the environment. For example, alpha particles are given off by uranium-238, radium-226, and other members of the uranium decay series. These are present in varying amounts in nearly all rocks, soils, and water. However, human activity, create or worsen the potential for exposure of people and contamination of various environmental media. For example, uranium mining wastes, known as uranium mill tailings, have high concentrations of uranium and radium. Once brought to the surface, they can be become airborne or enter surface water as runoff. A second example is the mining and processing of phosphate for fertilizer. The currently used process generates large piles or "stacks" of phosphogypsum, in which naturally occurring radium is concentrated.
How do alpha particles change in the environment?
Alpha particles don't get very far in the environment. Once emitted, they travel relatively slowly (at approximately one-twentieth the speed of light) due to their electric charge and large mass. They lose energy rapidly in air, usually expending it within a few centimeters. Because alpha particles are not radioactive, once they have lost their energy, they pick up free electrons and become helium.
Alpha particles also cannot penetrate most matter they encounter. Even a piece of paper, or the dead outer layers of human skin is sufficient to stop alpha particles.
Health Effects
How can alpha particles affect peoples health?
The health effects of alpha particles depend heavily upon how exposure takes place. External exposure (external to the body) is of far less concern than internal exposure, because alpha particles lack the energy to penetrate the outer dead layer of skin.
However, if alpha emitters have been inhaled, ingested (swallowed) or absorbed into the blood stream, sensitive living tissue can be exposed to alpha radiation. The resulting biological damage increases the risk of cancer; in particular, alpha radiation is known to cause lung cancer in humans when alpha emitters are inhaled.
The greatest exposures to alpha radiation for average citizens comes from the inhalation of radon and its decay products, several of which also emit potent alpha radiation.
Is there a medical test to determine exposure to alpha particles?
There are tests that can detect the presence of alpha-emitting radionuclides in the body. However, they require special equipment and testing is generally done by specialized laboratories and facilities or hospitals.
Protecting People from Alpha Particles
How do I know I'm near alpha emitters and alpha particles?
You must have specialized equipment to detect alpha radiation. Generally, this equipment is expensive and requires an expert to operate it.
The one alpha-emitting radionuclide that you can easily measure yourself is radon. Inexpensive home test kits are available to test your home for radon.
What is the government doing to protect people from exposure to alpha emitters and alpha particles?
The U.S. Congress passes laws that authorize EPA and other federal agencies, to protect public health and the environment from radionuclides, including alpha emitters. EPA has issued a variety of regulations that limit the release of radionuclides to the environment. You can learn about limits set for individual radionuclides by selecting alpha emitters from the Radionuclides page.
How do I protect myself and my family from alpha particles?
Protecting yourself from external exposure to alpha radiation is easy, since alpha particles are unable to penetrate the outer dead layers of skin or clothing. However, tissue that is not protected by the outer layer of dead cells, such as eyes or open wounds, must be carefully protected.
The exposure pathways of concern are inhalation or ingestion of alpha emitters, which continue to emit alpha particles. Alpha emitting radionuclides taken into the body release alpha particles to sensitive tissues. Their high energy transfers directly to tissue, causing damage that may lead to cancer.
The most significant way people come in contact with alpha emitters is in their home, school, or place of business. Radon, is a heavy gas and tends to collect in low-lying areas such as basements. Testing for radon in your home and taking any corrective action necessary is the most effective way to protect you and your family from alpha emitters.
