Pa uc debit card If you are not good at paying your monthly bills, then, it will be advisable to opt for a debit card rather than a credit card.

It is like a bridge between your savings account and your expenditures, so paying for monthly credit card bills is not necessary.

Net sales increased 22% to $21.27 billion in the fourth quarter, compared with $17.43 billion in fourth quarter 2011. Excluding the $178 million unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales grew 23% compared with fourth quarter 2011.Operating income increased 56% to $405 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $260 million in fourth quarter 2011.

We're excited and very grateful to our customers for their response to Kindle and our ever expanding ecosystem and selection."

Softball Loses Two in Duluth
DULUTH, Minn. - The MLC softball team dropped two games at the UMAC crossover weekend at St. Scholastica, losing game one 13-4 to St. Scholastica and game two 10-2 to Northland.
The Saints jumped out to an 11-0 lead after three innings on the way to taking down the Knights 13-4 in five innings.
Sarah Free (Plover, Wis./LPS) was not able to hold down the Saints on the mound, allowing 11 runs (nine earned) on 15 hits in three innings of work to drop to 6-6.
Karla Opperman (North Branch, Mich./North Branch HS) put the Knights on the board with a home run in the fourth inning, while Jessica Henning (Redwood Falls, Minn./Redwood Valley) hit a two-run double in the fifth to finish the scoring for MLC.
Northland busted open a two-run game with six runs in the sixth inning to beat the Knights 10-2 in six.
Heather Korb (Indianapolis, Ind./Lutheran HS) dropped to 5-7 on the season with the loss, allowing ten runs (six earned) on 13 hits. The MLC defense did not help Korb in the game, committing four errors.
At the plate, Opperman had two of MLC's four hits, including a solo home run in the fourth inning. She also had an RBI double in the second inning that scored Henning.
With the two losses, MLC dropped to 14-18 overall and 6-11 in conference play. The Knights will return to action Saturday (May 1) in Duluth against Northwestern at noon. They will also take on Crown at 2 p.m.

Why people line up outside Apple stores for the latest iPhone
BY ANDY IHNATKO September 20, 2012 12:44PM
Devin Torkelsen of the West Loop clutches his Android phone and iPad as he awaits the iPhone 5 outside of the Michigan Avenue Apple Store on Thursday, September 20, 2012. l Stacie Scott~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: October 22, 2012 6:16AM
Apple's fond of saying how much they love their customers. But you don't have to take their word for it! On Friday, the iPhone 5 will be available in stores. Lines have already formed in front of Apple stores — starting Monday at the landmark store on Fifth Avenue in New York City, and now outside Chicago's Michigan Avenue store. This is what happens every time Apple comes out with a new iPhone or iPad. If the company didn't care about its customers, they'd release these products during times when the weather isn't so pleasant for camping.
But why do people even choose to sleep on a sidewalk for days on end? Most people would do that to score a donor kidney for the best-liked of their three children. The reward at the end of this line is the ability to spend hundreds of dollars on a phone that's already available for purchase online, and which will be manufactured in quantities limited only by the natural resources of our frail planet.
It's not about the phone. It's about the adventure. It's the same reason I showed up at the best THX-certified theater in New England to purchase first-day, first showing tickets to "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace." It wasn't about the actual product. I wanted to be with a community of people who were so amped up about a new Star Wars movie that they were willing to get in line at 4 a.m. just to score tickets for a movie that still wouldn't open for months.
I know, it makes no sense. Particularly as Apple continues to post record success after record success. The stock closed at above $700 a share the other day, and the iPhone 5 is already Apple's fastest-selling phone based solely on preorders (more than 2 million in the first 24 hours, according to the company). Solely in terms of financial might, Apple isn't the plucky farm kid in the X-Wing. Apple's the guy in the black mask shooting at the X-wing from behind the controls of a TIE/x1 fighter.
The iPhone has ceded market share supremacy to Android. But there's another factor that keeps people lining up days in advance: the iPhone's seemingly unsquashable cultural supremacy. Apple doesn't release a new phone every two months. This one is it; this is the event. And unlike the drumbeat of Android phones that usually tend to blend into a single anonymous blur, every phone Apple releases is, by definition, significant. And high on the world's radar.
True, Apple works very hard to keep the iPhone from disappearing into the scrum of premium smartphones. But gadget hounds continue to be genuinely fascinated by the iPhone. And it seems as though Apple will never get so successful or so dominant that its fans will stop thinking of themselves as a tight-knit community of iconoclasts.
If Apple retains its soul, it'll stay Anakin Skywalker, forever. Yes, I know how annoying that kid was in the prequels, but I'm going to stick with the analogy.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

|Avoid. Has become a tourist trap and now staffed by the tourists too - they don't even speak decent English.
Found my pint was off and asked the surly barman if he could swap it over. He proceeds to pour another and tries to charge me for it! when I protest, he says it's not his pub but then proceeds to pour the new pint down the drain.
A real "gem" to avoid like the plague.

|Quite expensive Taylor Walker pub with 3 real ales, London Pride, GK and Landlord. Quality OK.
oftenscore6 - 10 May 2011 00:15
|Lived around the corner from this one in the 80s. Wasn't really my local, but when lazy would pop in each week.
They made it much larger when they blew out the glass wall which is a shame. Went in mid October on a Sunday reading the papes. Not bad. Very open and no problem with the barmaids. It didn't feel like a local like it used to be though (previous posting with the tourists). I think having all those tourists tours etc around the area bring them in. Not bad, but noting to go outta the way.

|Nipped in here the other day after an afternoon in Hyde Park,
Was met by a very rude and surly barman, Ł4 a pint and Ł8 a chip sandwich.
How ridiculous.
Pubs alright, perfectly sittable, but the lager was poor and the food was way too pricey. Bar man really set a bad atmosphere for me.

|Overall, Programming Clojure succeeds in what it sets out to do, but follow-up volumes entitled Real World Clojure or The Clojure Cookbook somewhere down the line would be helpful in taking general use of Clojure to the next level by providing more concrete examples and guidance now the language has stabilized somewhat. Read this book and watch the videos, podcasts & screencasts linked from the Clojure web site and you will have had the best introduction possible for now.
Along with the many screencasts & tutorials already available on the Internet, Programming Clojure provides an invaluable introduction for the first-time Lisp programmer or Java programmer looking for an alternate JVM language. The language and its use are described effectively, and the example application referred to throughout the book is a useful reference for anyone new to functional programming on how to incrementally build an application in a functional language - something confusing to most programmers used to imperative languages.
The first few chapters introduce Clojure, in particular exploring why the JVM needs another language and why a Lisp dialect is a good candidate. Starting with downloading Clojure, setting up the runtime and using the REPL - Clojure's interactive environment - helps anxious programmers get their hands dirty quickly. Before getting into actual coding, the chapter covers loading Clojure libraries and reading the self-documenting code, and the book's story arc project - an ant-like build system called Lancet - is also introduced. As the chapter summary says, it's a bit of a whirlwind tour, with some subjects (such as dealing with Clojure libraries) seeming a little out of place and lacking context, but everything covered will start to mean more in later chapters.
Exploring Clojure works through core language features: Forms covers how Clojure code is structured, read and compiled, and is important to understanding Lisp syntax and how the Clojure compiler works. It also covers the core data structures such as lists, maps and structs. Reader Macros shows how basic forms have shortcuts resulting in even more concise code. Being a functional language, Functions seems alarmingly short at first glance, but then it turns out to be one of those things where the rules are simple and their application is straightforward enough that nothing else is required. Data structures are covered in some detail in Vars, Bindings and Namespaces - if anything, probably the most confusing section for Java programmers as this is where the functional programming concept of immutable data first starts to appear. Flow Control and Where's my for Loop? deal with another point of confusion for imperative refugees.
Working with Java will be the chapter of most interest to Java programmers looking for another JVM language to learn, and Clojure's ability to leverage existing Java libraries has been a major contributor to its success so far. Clojure's ability to use Java APIs is rendered somewhat inelegant by the object-oriented nature of the JVM but, leaving aside the basics, this chapter clearly explains some of the gotchas and workarounds (such as using metadata type hints to prevent performance-crippling reflection).
As a Lisp dialect, Clojure's focus is on processing data represented as lists or list-like data structures, but Clojure takes this one step further into the Java world by unifying its data structures and many of Java's collections APIs as Sequences, which allows a wide variety of data structures to be processed using a single API. Unifying Data with Sequences covers this in detail, including once again clear explanations of how Clojure's sequence API builds on and greatly enhances Java's built-in collections.
Functional Programming and Concurrency are the chapters most Java programmers will want to read more than once. Language syntax aside, they cover the areas where any functional language, and particularly Clojure, differs significantly from imperative languages. Key functional concepts such as laziness and recursion lead into how Clojure handles concurrency very differently from Java through its use of Software Transactional Memory, Atoms, Agents and Vars. Writing concurrent applications correctly is hard, but these chapters together explain well how Clojure helps make the job a lot easier. Unfortunately, this leaves the reader with the feeling that Clojure actually has too many mechanisms for handling concurrency, with no clear idea of which works best under what circumstances. Whether this is the fault of the language or the text though is uncertain.
The Snake game application used as a concurrency example also provides some insight into integrating Clojure with Swing - something that is not covered elsewhere in the book and which almost deserves a chapter in its own right as Swing is arguably one of the more complex Java APIs Clojure can interact quite nicely with.
Macros and Multimethods dig deeper into the language itself and detail some of the features which Clojure programmers can use to streamline the language syntax and make it their own by developing DSLs. Again, the Lancet example helps by giving a real-world context to the explanations.
Clojure in the Wild ties up some of the loose ends that Java programmers will be asking about by now: how do I unit test my code? How do I access databases? Can I write web applications in Clojure?
Trying to explain all the nuances of a language as rich as Clojure is difficult, and on occasion the text mirrors the language's own syntax with lists of examples that can seem repetitive after a while, but the Lancet example application helps tremendously by giving the just-covered features some context and real-world usage. Some features important to application developers, such as unit testing, database access and web application development are left until the final chapters and are a little light, but this is understandable given that some of these things derive from libraries which were, at the time of writing, still heavily in development and subject to change. In fact, publication of the book was effectively held off until Clojure reached its stable 1.0 release.
Some mention is made of suitable development environments or editors, such as Emacs clojure-mode or the Eclipse/Netbeans/IntelliJ plugins, but due again to the unstable nature of Clojure at the time this consists entirely of web links to the various editors. Structuring a project and managing it with one of these editors is an exercise left to the reader, but some guidance over and above Lancet would have been useful.
I've always wondered what the fuss was about Lisp and have tried SBCL & Scheme in the past but found them quirky & difficult to work with. Coming from a Java background, Clojure immediately gives me something I can relate to (the JVM and the Java libraries) and makes it the most approachable Lisp variant I've tried so far. Programming Clojure has been an excellent introduction to the language and both are well worth a look for jaded Java programmers looking for a change.

Earlier this week Lenovo announced the ThinkPad X230, a 12.5" screen ultraportable targeted at business buyers. While the X230 won't go on sale via Lenovo.com until June 2012 (keep an eye on this X230 product page for availablility) we were lucky enough to receive an early review sample to try out. As most of you familiar with the ThinkPad brand know, change is generally slow from one generation to the next to keep the enterprise buying folks from getting all worked up. One thing that certainly almost never changed much was the keyboard. Until now that is. The X230 and the rest of the ThinkPad line have adopted a new keyboard styling that uses an island style key layout and drops down to six rows of keys from seven. There are a few other changes and added features, the keyboard backlighting being my personal favorite, but for the most part the X230 is just an evolution of the X220 design wise and of course has updated internal components to boost performance.
Video Tour
First off, there's nothing quite like the moving image to convey look and design, so check out a quick video tour of the X230:
Keyboard Comparison with X220
Let's jump right to the part a lot of people are interested in hearing about — the keyboard. Again, a video helps to show exactly what the visual differences are so we'll show that first and then talk about the perceived usability differences:
The first concern I had was whether the spacing of the keys was the same or different enough to cause a problem getting used to the X230 keyboard. I was also concerned that the travel distance and feel of the keys would be different. Rest assured, despite the very different look, the keyboard is very similar in feel to previous generations and the typing differences were really only noticeable to me when I had both the X220 and X230 next to each other and I could test the difference. Here is what I found to be different in terms of feel, at least as far as my perception goes:
- The X230 keys seem to have a slightly lighter touch, you don't have to push quite as hard to register a keystroke
- The X230 key surface area is slightly larger, I don't have calipers to measure this exactly, but you can see it's the case. This is partly why Lenovo is claiming the new keyboard makes typing more accurate.
- The X230 keys felt slightly more slippery and not as textured as those on the X220
Keep in mind, those are just the perceived differences in feel. The layout has changed from six rows to seven rows, which forces a repositioning of keys that could trip up users used to the old ThinkPad keyboard. To name just a few:
- The "Forward" and "Back" browser shortcut buttons above the left and right arrow keys are gone
- PgUp and PgDn move from the top row down to above the left and right arrow keys
- The Delete button has shrunk and moved further to the edge of the keyboard, which is almost impossible to reach without lifting the hand
- Print Screen and Insert are both moved, the Pause button and Scroll Lock are gone
- Home and End have been moved and are actually now more within reach of the pinky than before
- All media key functionality using Fn + has been moved to the F1 – F12 function keys, this is a good thing and eliminates the scattered nature of media keys in previous generations
There are probably more differences in positioning, but those are the major ones. I'll also note that the Enter key is now black instead of blue and they've removed the "return arrow". In fact, a lot of the icons have been axed to make the look more clean, the arrows on the Shift key, Caps Lock and Tab keys are all gone. It certainly does have the result of the keyboard looking more plain and clean.
The real test is of course whether your typing is affected by the changes. I generally type at around 80 WPM so figured I'd do a typing test using this WPM online tool to see how I faired doing the test on the X220 and then the X230. Look, I'm not here to make an advertorial for Lenovo but I got the exact same 76 WPM score on each notebook and was ever so slightly more accurate on the X230 where I made no mistakes. Of course, that's one trial run, but it's all I had the patience for and figured it was enough to provide anecdotal evidence that most users should transition just fine.
ThinkPad X220 typing test: 76 Words per minute, one mistake made when I mistyped "M" instead of "N" for November (though there is such thing as Movember and it is a worthy cancer charity I might add)
ThinkPad X230 typing test: 76 Words per minute, exactly the same result as the X220 but no typing mistakes
Another new feature on the X230 is the keyboard backlight. You can toggle between two levels of keyboard backlight brightness or use the ThinkLight positioned in the screen that shines down on the keys. Here's a video demoing how this looks and works:
And below is a picture of the backlight set at its strongest level:
Bottom line on the keyboard changes, the usability is still top notch and all of the essential keys such as alpha, numeric and common cursor movement keys are in the same location. The biggest challenge with changes will be in regards to remapping your brain to find and reach the keys that moved such as Home, End and Delete. The backlighting option is a definite improvement and recommended upgrade.
Below is a picture of the X220 and X230 keyboard side by side (X230 on the right). Click to see a larger view.
Size and Weight
While the ThinkPad X230 weighs 2.96lbs when you use the small sized 4-cell battery, Lenovo isn't changing its marketing to call this an Ultrabook. The thickness ranges from 0.75-inches at the front to 1.05-inches at the back due to the slope. The 1" thickness is fat compared to the 0.68" the upcoming ThinkPad X1 Carbon will have. That under 3lbs of weight doesn't hold for the standard 6-cell battery either, this review unit has a weight of 3lbs 7 ounces (3.44lbs).
The ThinkPad X230 has the same 12.5" screen size and options as the previous X220. The standard 1366 x 768 resolution screen is a TN variety panel that has 200-nit brightness and so-so viewing angles. The screen on this review model is the premium IPS upgrade with 300-nits of brightness and wide viewing angles. IPS is the same type of screen used in tablets such as the Apple iPad. Below are a couple of pictures with the X220 on the left and X230 on the right, both have the IPS screen and you can see Lenovo stuck with a winning formula here.
Screens tilted back:
Screens tilted forward:
As you can see, color reproduction is accurate no matter how great the angle you view the screen. Assuming Lenovo keeps the screen upgrade price $50 on the X230 when it starts selling, this is a no-brainer upgrade.
Ports Selection
The type of ports available on the X230 have changed slightly, you now get two standard USB 3.0 ports and the regular sized DisplayPort has become a mini DisplayPort. The locations of the ports have not changed though.
On the left side you get two USB 3.0 ports, a monitor out port, mini-DisplayPort and ExpressCard 54mm expansion slot.
On the right side is an SD card reader, powered USB 2.0 port, microphone headphone combo port and Ethernet RJ-45 jack.
Other new features, more to come…
Also new with the X230 is the Dolby Advanced Audio software, rapid battery charge, built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband with contract free option, improved thermal cooling system and of course the new Intel Ivy Bridge chipset offering better processor and graphics performance over previous generations. We'll save the performance evaluation and benchmarks for the full X230 review so stop back in a couple of weeks for that and if there are any specific requests for the review or questions you have feel free to comment.

And I've paid hundreds of dollars over the years in overdue fines. I actually decided several years ago to stop going to the library altogether and just order books off Amazon. However now that one of my goals is "Stick to a Budget" I realize I have to learn how to return books on time. That is why the library is supposed to be such a great thing b/c it's free!!! Unless you can't remember to return your books or you lose them (which I do often)
And to make it worse….my mother is a librarian….

About the Region
Come motorcycling in Tropical North Queensland . . .
The only location on Earth where
two World Heritage wilderness areas - The Great Barrier Reef and The Daintree Rainforest - overlap.
Welcome to Tropical North Queensland, Australia's Motorcycling Destination...
where the sparkling Coral Sea sizzles on ivory carpet beaches beneath lush rainforest-smothered mountains; the whole backed by the stark ruggedness of the Outback.
Weaving amid this wild profusion of ancient and endemic flora and fauna is a scribbled matrix of coastal, mountain, highland and Outback roads that are absolute heaven to ride on a motorcycle. The roads are endlessly involving; the views hypnotically beautiful. Finally, a motorcycling destination to delight both rider AND passenger!
Year-round Tropical Warmth, Quiet Roads ... and Solid Local Knowledge
Best of all, the weather is gloriously warm all year round and traffic laughably light so instead of shivering and elbowing through gridlock at home, join one of our guided or self-guided motorcycle tours for an in-depth insider's perspective on Tropical North Queensland's natural wonders.
We are keen local motorcyclists and naturalists with a wealth of knowledge to share on the most scenic and involving riding routes; hidden wildlife nooks; most delicious local tropical fare and most comfortable and characterful accommodation and side trip options.
A Feast for
all Five Senses
If the Great Barrier Reef and adjacent Daintree Rainforest are Tropical North Queensland's signature drawcards, the best way to truly immerse yourself in these natural wonders is to tour by motorcycle. Only on a bike can you revel in this natural feast for the senses ...
The Sights
are unparalleled - rainforest-smothered mountains marching down to meet palm-lined beaches. Rainforest-feathered mountain passes. Explosions of colour and diversity. Wildlife in rude profusion - lots of it overhead, in the shape of soaring raptors, giddily coloured parrots, flying foxes, and snug tunnels of teeming green rainforest. On a bike, all this is but a skyward tilt of the helmet away.
The Sounds
you will hear nowhere else in the world, and you will only hear them on a bike: Birds of Paradise, cockatoos and parrots, bickering flying foxes, the power-station hum of cicadas, native green tree frogs; animals that have evolved to live in this most ancient remnant of the supercontinent Gondwana.
The Smells
Rainforest fragrances are staggering in variety, from the wafting sweetness of fruit and nectar to the rich, earthy, exotic cologne of the cool cloud rainforest - a soul-stirring and heady mix.
The Feel
of rushing warm air riffling against your skin, cooling as you rise into the tropical highlands to an invigorating natural high.
The Tastes
of North Queensland tropical fruit, exotic seafood, lush dairy produce, wines and inventive bush tucker-laden cuisine.
Personalised Service: Your Choice of Riding Styles, Activities & Bikes

Real Estate for sale in Florida is without a doubt at it's lowest prices for buyers in over 30 years. The ability to purchase a vacation home in Florida or Florida retirement home is now more accessible than ever to more to more people thanks to the housing bust of 2005. Out of this aftermath is a state-wide surplus inventory of affordable real estate for sale in Florida.
The Gulf of Mexico side of Florida offers a more quiet, serene Florida living experience. Southwest Florida in particular offers some of the most affordable real estate for sale in Florida in the entire state. Gulf Access real estate, your very own pool, close proximity to gulf beaches and championship golf courses make smaller cities such as Fort Myers and Bonita Springs an excellent choice when looking for for real estate for sale in Florida. While Fort Myers and Bonita Springs are both smaller cities, both offer the same amenities of larger cities like Tampa or Miami. International airports and world class shopping with less traffic, crime and less crowded beaches are the highlights of both areas.
Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Estero are home to many luxury homes and condos that are for sale. They are in residential communities, gated communities and golf course communities.

At first, Darkness may seem like just another first person shooter with a twist of lemon flavored gimmick thrown in there, but they actually manage to pull it off in this one.

Must Nigerians Abroad Marry Nigerians?
Many Nigerian parents abroad and at home have expressed preference in seeing their children marry Nigerians. Some are willing to compromise and let the children make their own decisions as to whom to marry. Others have continually insisted their children preserve the Nigerian culture by marrying fellow Nigerians. In this short video, AfricanSpotlight recorded a funny dialogue among three Nigerian parents in New York. Two of them insist that Nigerians abroad should marry Nigerians. One of them says it's not a must!

Its the love that is most important, whats the point your child marry a Nigerian but there is no love. At the end of the day the parents have lived their lives let your child be happy in life, if your child loves you he/she will make sure the partner gives you all the respect you deserve

First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like
to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10
to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!

Service SUCKS
Posted on
WINFIELD, KANSAS -- My mother is an 84 yr old widow. Her phone has been out of service for 4 days now. I have made 3 trouble reports and her neighbor has made 1 report. There is no reason for this whatsoever. She pays her bill on time. I pray she doesn't get sick or have some sort of emergency because she has no way to contact anyone for help. I just hope she decides to drop her home phone now and get a cell phone.

Does anyone in the family have a cellphone she can use...if she's able to use one? My Dad is 87 and we had phone trouble and was without a phone for three or four days, but he doesn't really understand how to use a cellphone, (I have only just for emergencies and it use in cases like this where our landline may be out of service). During that time, I wouldn't even leave him home alone long enough for me to take a run to the store. I just didn't want him to be here without a phone if he needed it. So, I know how you feel and I don't blame you for being upset.

Non responsive customer service
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- On Friday, February 08, 2002 I sent an email - Re: my residence telephone billing. You responded with an automatic stock electronic template answer - "Thank you for sending us your comments. If you requested
information, a customer service representative will contact you soon."
On February 13, 2002 and again on February 16, 2002 I sent your company follow up email messages. I have not received a responding email nor have I been contacted by a customer service representative.
I would like to know when someone is going to respond to the query that I sent you via email from your website?
Electronic customers like myself, help your company increase its profit through lower costs,(printing and postage),so why do you mistreat and ignore us ?
I hope you would take the time to check with your internet staffers, retrieve the emails sent to you and at the very least I would like to get a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.

Unprofessional Sales People
Posted on
WICHITA, KANSAS -- I was called the other night by a representative of Southwestern Bell and was very rudely told that my phone was getting shut off. At first I though it was a telemarketer so I told her to please quit calling our house at 8:30 p.m. She proceeded to tell me our phone was getting shut off soon and thank you very much and hung up. She did not give me a chance to apologize before hanging up on me.
To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
I believe that she should have said something like 'I am sorry but I am not a telemarketer and I was just wanting to inform you that your service is in jeopardy of being interrupted due to non-payment' or something more professional. Better training for employees would be a plus!
At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.

I agree with her. Telephone telemarketers are a bane on society. The phone company should investigate. I'll bet most of us have had an over due bill in our lifetime and it is not called for for an employee of the phone company to be nasty. So she had a bad day at home, don't take it out on persons you don't know!
Anonymous on 11/25/2001:
I agree also.If they were calling about your bill why so late at night?That to me is unprofessional.I also have SWBell for my service and have had problems with them also(My bill was paid by the way).They should look into it.

The Chandler Fire Department held its 23rd annual awards ceremony on May 22, 2009, at the Chandler Center for the Arts.
The Firefighter of The Year award was presented to Captain Val Gale, a Chandler native who joined the department in July 1997. Gale was chosen by his peers for his dedication to the department and service to the community.
In 2008, Gale was heavily involved in the training and selection process of new paramedics, which demonstrated his commitment to continuing education and skill development in the paramedic field, including the ever-changing areas of toxicology, cardiology and pharmacology. He also played a major role in the coordination of the department's Crisis Response Unit, which uses professional staff and trained volunteers to assist victims and families affected by traumatic events. In addition, Gale was greatly responsible for the implementation, troubleshooting, training and advocacy of the cutting-edge Electronic Patient Care Reporting (EPCR) program, in which firefighters use laptop computers to document a patient's treatment.
"Val is being honored for all he accomplished in 2008, but we will never forget that he earned a Medal of Valor several years ago for his courageous attempt to rescue a small child from an apartment fire," said Chandler Fire Chief Jeff Clark. "Those who know Val understand that this type of behavior springs forth inherently from his core values. He embodies the essence of what it means to be a Chandler Firefighter, and we are all fortunate to call him 'brother.'"
The department's Medal Of Honor award was presented to Battalion Chief Jim Johnson, who demonstrated quick action, professionalism and exemplary medical care when he was one of the first people who came upon an serious motorcycle accident while he was vacationing in Northern Arizona last August.
Robb Brewer and his wife were on a motorcycle ride north of Payson when he lost control of the bike and they were thrown off and critically injured. Johnson, or JJ as he is known to fellow firefighters, came upon the accident soon after and joined with an off-duty paramedic who was already on scene to begin life support procedures on the couple. He had a major role in providing the constant treatment that helped save the lives of Brewer and his wife. At the hospital, it was determined that Brewer had sustained a broken back, six broken vertebra in his neck, crushed elbow, sliced kidney, internal chest bleeding, multiple fractures of his lower extremities as well as facial fractures. After the initial grim prognosis, Brewer made an extraordinary recovery and attended the ceremony honoring Johnson for his efforts.
Nine other awards were presented at the event, including EMT of the Year to Firefighter Andre Langley, Paramedic of the Year to Captain Tim Klug, and Civilian Employee of the Year presented to Warren Bahle, a member of the Emergency Medical Services Division.
The Derrel Crisp Memorial Award was presented to retiring Fire Marshal John Gardner, who served the City and the department for 20 years.
Assistant Chief Tom Carlson received a Medal of Merit for serving as Interim Chief during the transition after the retirement of Chief Jim Roxburgh through the hiring of new Chief Jeff Clark.
Three unit citations were presented to the Support Services Division, the Chandler Fire Pipers and Drummers, and the Wildland Fire Team. That unit traveled to fight a wildfire in Butte, California, and assisted in the evacuation and treatment of a Flagstaff firefighter who was severely burned during that incident.
In addition, the second annual ROX Career Achievement Award was presented to Battalion Chief Bill Evans for providing exceptional service to the department and the community during his distinguished career that started in Chandler on April 14, 1980.

Artwork Description
December 29th, 2002
This is a really beautiful image...it looks like a perfect illustration for a book cover, not just the dimensions, but the sense of a great story behind the picture. Gorgous lighting, design and detail, as well.
August 10th, 2002
Hmmm, is Denna an original character or is she the Denna fro Terry Goodkinds' Wizard's First Rule book? It's an amazing picture, I was just curious because this shares many qualities that the book had (dragon, desert BG, girl in red (leather?)) ^_^ ::continues to stare::
July 31st, 2002
Beautifully designed. Love the girl's beyond-her-years expression and the big dragon next to her, lovely details and textures as usual.
The stars and space was nicely drawn, because I live in the city, whenever I go to a wild country side, I'd always be amazed at how many stars are in the sky, and you showed that well.
The red valcanic activities on the neighbor planet is a thoughtful detailed touch. What medium is this?
July 19th, 2002
This is beautiful Steve, so much detail. And I also like the mood in it.
January 3rd, 2002
Steve Your work has changed I am impressed with the new things hope all is well and that you continue the beautiful art
November 20th, 2001
Just went thru your gallery. Now I'm like "wow...". SO awesome, what media did you use then? Airbrush? These don't actually look like airbrush but couldn't think of anything else 8/

I had some extra Tootsie Roll Lollipops to use up, so I decided to make these. These would look great as a favor on the kids table at Christmas time, don't you think? I followed Angie's instructions to make these.
I used some pretty old stamps on these, both from Stampin Up - and both are retired I can tell you the names are "Deer Friends" and "Riveting". The papers are from the Carta Bella Merry & Bright Collection and Echo Park Happy Holidays Mini Theme collections. Ribbon and cardstock are all from either Stampin Up or PaperTrey Ink.
So easy, and fun! I still have more Craft Fair goodies to share...I will try to get the rest posted very soon!

I stayed in Yourhostel for couple of nigths in May 2014. Location is excellent in the heart ofthe old town but on a small and quiet street. Staff was nice. I wanted the basic room (i had 1 double room with a fan and a bathroom) but the room was a bit ugly and lacked atmosphere completely. Later I found better bergains on the same street. Both cheeper, cleaner and prettier. However Yourhostel is composed of three buildings so maybe some rooms are nicer. This I dont know.

Fair price, clean and comfortable enough, the staff are very friendly though not always waiting around at reception. Perhaps the best reason to stay here is the location, just inside the old town and 2 minute's walk from Thae Pae Gate and popular bars (Zoe in Yellow, UN Irish etc etc) yet the lane itself is quite quiet.

We stayed in yourhouse3 which is the newer building they have and it was amazing. Very spacious room, very clean amd extremely nice staff. Location is fairly central if you're looking to be in the middle of everything for songkran. Only somewhat negative thing I can say is that it's a little pricey for a backpacker. Besides that, it is definitely highly recommended.
