Water Supply
Well No. 3 – Bristol, WI
Services: Well siting, well facility design, and treatment for iron and radium removal
Size: 750 gallons per minute
The Town of Bristol has seen rapid development over the past 5 years and expects this growth to continue. Because of this growth, the Town decided to add a third well to its water system.
The well consists of a 1,500-foot- deep sandstone well hole capable of producing a minimum of 750 gallons per minute (gpm).
In order to meet a compressed project schedule, the above ground facilities were designed during well drilling using water quality data from a nearby deep well. When drilling was complete, water quality analysis confirmed initial assumptions that iron and radium removal would be needed.
The treatment facilities included a pressurized iron filter and addition of hydrous manganese oxide for radium removal; tablet chlorination; backwash detention; and standby power. The architectural design addresses stringent building setback requirements and compatibility with the architecture of a nearby condominium development.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) significantly overstated the role of the US shale gas revolution in reducing US emissions last year - according to an analysis of recent and historic US government data on energy.
In May, the IEA claimed that annual US emissions fell by 1.7% in 2011 'primarily due to on-going switching from coal to natural gas in power generation and an exceptionally mild winter.' The IEA told Energydesk the data came from their World Energy Outlook team.
However, data from the US Energy Information Agency (EIA) suggests that it was new renewable generation, not a switch from coal to natural gas, which was primarily responsible for falling emissions from the US power sector over that period.
The IEA's claim is similar to the conclusions of recent research by a team of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) academics (McElroy et al, Environmental Science, 2012) which found that the switch from coal to gas - not the recession - was the main cause of falling emissions from the US power sector in 2009.
Again, however, the data suggests this conclusion was misleading - and that falling demand due to the recession was the single largest cause.
Indeed over the entire period from 2008 to 2011 - when coal's share of the US energy mix fell by just over 6.2% - it was renewables, not gas, which played the larger role in reducing US emissions.
Early data for the first five months of 2012 showed a further increase in gas's share of the US power, driven by the low price - but a 34% increase in the cost of gas since April has set the trend into reverse and emissions are now forecast to rise in 2013.
The EIA expects the recent trend of substituting coal-fired electricity generation with natural gas generation to slow and likely reverse over the next year - EIA short term energy outlook
The inaccuracies are a problem, because both claims were widely reported, from the Economist and the Financial Times, to ExxonMobil's own blog. In fact it's hard to find an article on US emissions that doesn't mention them.
Indeed, arguments about the impact of gas on reducing US emissions have become part of the debate over Electricity Market Reform (EMR) in the UK and throughout Europe.
How we calculated it
As the price of gas in the US has fallen due to extraction from shale, the proportion of electricity generated from gas has increased.
Since gas – when burnt – releases about half as much carbon dioxide as coal, switching from one fuel to the other can significantly reduce emissions.
Let's look at the IEA claim for 2011. The data suggests that generation from coal did fall significantly between 2010 and 2011 by 113Twh. However there is no corresponding rise in gas generation. Electricity from US gas plants did go up - but only by 29Twh. Generation from wind, hydro and other renewables rose by three times that amount.
On its own this suggests it was renewable energy - not gas - which drove the change in emissions.
However, the Harvard team point out that the year-on-year numbers are affected by changes in demand - which fell slightly in 2011.
To isolate the impact of changes in electricity mix we need to examine yearly changes in output relative to what would have happened if the proportions of each energy type - e.g. coal, gas, wind - had remained the same year to year.
On this "normalised" basis the numbers are still similar; coal power fell by 105TWh, gas generation rose by 33TWh and renewables rose by 93TWh. It's possible to estimate the impact of these changes on emissions from the US power sector.
The Harvard team convincingly argue that most new gas directly replaces coal. So using their estimates for how much CO2 comes from each source (Gas 0.4 tonnes CO2/MWh, Coal 0.968 tonnes CO2/MWh) switching to gas saved around 18.8MMT CO2.
Renewables, however, don't necessarily lead to a direct reduction in coal use - because they can be intermittent. For example, more wind can mean less gas.
Using a rough estimate of how much CO2 is saved by renewable energy provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) results in total savings of around 64.4MMT of CO2, more than three times the savings from the coal-to-gas switch. Indeed as our analysis shows, wind power alone produces emissions reductions almost identical to those from coal to gas in 2011.
And the 2009 recession
In 2009, the year examined by the Harvard academics, the data looked a little different.
The latest EIA numbers show overall emissions fell by 9.1%, partially driven by the 4.1% drop in electricity demand, leading most to conclude the recession drove down emissions from the power sector.
However McElroy et al, comparing actual generation with what would have happened if the mix had stayed the same, claimed the switch from coal to gas - not the recession - was the single most important factor driving down emissions from electricity generation.
This result was confirmed by an econometric model they had designed to examine coal to gas switching in different US states driven by changes in the price of gas. In one sense they were right: switching away from coal to other forms of power was a major cause of emissions reductions in 2009.
But switching from coal to gas only accounted for 40MMT of CO2 emissions, 19% of the total fall, and only marginally more than renewables.
An EIA spokesperson told Energydesk, 'Natural gas showed the largest increase, but combining conventional hydroelectric generation and wind shows a very similar increase' in generation.
Instead the recession was indeed the largest factor driving down emissions that year.
And now
2009 and 11 are not one offs. Between 2008 and 2011 coal's share of the US power mix fell by over 6.1%.
Over the same period gas generation rose by 3.3%, and generation from renewable sources by around 3.6%, more than half of which was wind and solar.
Taking into account the fact that more CO2 is saved for every extra unit of renewable power the reductions from renewables as a whole were almost certainly greater than those from gas.
The exact amount of CO2 emissions avoided because of a switch to gas is also unclear. The CO2 produced by different fuels at a power plant ignores the lifecycle emissions of extracting them which may include methane leakage from shale gas extraction.
Furthermore whilst wind and solar may not replace coal directly, it is quite plausible that hydroelectric power does. Therefore our estimate of the impact of an increased renewables share, which includes a large chunk of hydro, is likely to be overly conservative.
That said, the latest data appears to show gas catching up. In the midst of another mild winter the data for the first five months of 2012 shows a 40% year on year increase in gas output, whilst levels of renewable generation are pretty constant.
It accounts for much of the further fall in emissions so far this year. Indeed if you compare the share of gas and renewables in the mix in the first five months of 2012 with their share in 2007, when US emissions peaked, then you could argue gas was responsible for a fall of 74MT CO2 so far this year, compared to 59MT for renewables - based on our conservative estimates.
But that trend is unlikely to last.The latest US data extends until May and a new EIA found gas prices had risen 34% since April.
The report concluded that 'The EIA expects the recent trend of substituting coal-fired electricity generation with natural gas generation to slow and likely reverse over the next year,' pushing emissions back up.
It suggests that even when falls in gas prices drive down emissions those falls are only temporary, unless coal plants are permanently shut.
Gas can drive down CO2 emissions, but can only be "banked" in the context of a policy framework that prioritises reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

North Dakota Republican Senate hopeful Rick Berg (pictured), who is currently serving in the U.S. House, has been using an airplane registered to a company in which he is part owner to travel around the state. But Democrats say he has not properly reimbursed the company for the plane's use.
The North Dakota Democratic Party filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission about the plane's use. Democratic Party spokeswoman Rania Batrice said he is required to make the reimbursement even though he is partial owner of the aircraft.
The Huffington Post reports that Batrice says that a "commercially reasonable time frame" has passed for such reimbursements to show up on Bert's campaign expenditure reports, and they have not seen any such reimbursements.
The Democrat in the race is former state Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp. The seat is open and considered competitive after the retirement of Senator Kent Conrad (D). Heitkamp said her campaign usually travels by car, but has chartered a plane twice and paid the charter company promptly.
In a statement, Berg campaign spokesman Chris Van Guilder said that the filing was a "desperate attack" on the part of Heitkamp. "Our campaign regularly, and in full compliance with Federal Election Commission regulations, pays for all travel expenses, including the travel specifically noted by the North Dakota Democratic Party. We have a system in place to ensure timely reimbursement and reporting of travel expenses," the statement said.

Every biologist has his or her favorite branch of life—birds, bees, moths, water lilies, coral reef fish, or whatever. For Enquist it was trees. Ever since he began climbing them as a child, he had had a thing about them. They were impressive and important. If you stand in a forest, the world seems to be made of trees. He was also impatient, and botany is a good discipline for a naturalist in a hurry, because you don't have to sit in a hide all day waiting for trees to come to you, and it doesn't take a week to get your sample size into double figures. And for a young biologist beginning his career and looking for big questions to answer, botany was fertile ground. The main thrust of the science has been to classify and describe plants, and there is relatively little theory or mathematics in the discipline; new ideas in biology have tended to be developed and explored by researchers working on animals. Enquist decided to investigate scaling in forests, to see how the sizes of individual trees influenced the form of the whole forest.
For graduate school he went to work in Jim Brown's lab at the University of New Mexico. More than a decade before Enquist joined his lab, Brown had decided that energy was the key to understanding biodiversity. He had begun his career in the 1960s as a physiological ecologist, studying the biology of energy in animals, looking at how the challenge of keeping warm affected their energy budgets and how it would affect their behavior and where they could live. One of his early studies was on the metabolic rate of weasels, and the cost of being long and thin, with a relatively large surface area—a weasel burns energy twice as quickly as a round animal of the same weight, he found. Lately, he had come to see energy as an organizing principle for the whole of nature. How organisms got energy and divided it between themselves could, he believed, explain biodiversity: Why different environments contain different numbers of species, why species live where they do, why certain species are found together or not, and why some are common and some are rare.
And the foundation of any investigation into energy and biodiversity, Brown believed, should be body size. Body size controls how much energy plants and animals need and so how much is left over for other individuals and species. Body size is also closely related to virtually everything else that ecologists are interested in, such as how much

How to Invest Like Billionaire Gold Gurus Sprott & Embry
TORONTO (TheStreet) -- When savvy investors are looking for clues and evidence for some potentially big bonanza opportunities they often begin by seeing what the super-successful are doing.
There aren't many investors that started with little more than the clothes on their backs and through hard work and outstanding discernment have become billionaires.
Two such legendary investors who I have followed, learned from and want to emulate are Eric Sprott and John Embry.
In 1981, Sprott founded Sprott Securities (now Cormark Securities), an institutional brokerage firm focused on small-to-mid capitalization companies, servicing Canadian corporate and institutional investors.By 2000, Sprott made the decision to focus solely on the investment management business. Accordingly, the investment management division was spun-off to form a separate entity now known as Sprott Asset Management , or SAM. SAM was founded with an already established successful historical track record of managing assets through Sprott Managed Accounts since 1981 and the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund since 1997. Sprott Securities was sold to its employees in 2002, leaving Eric Sprott and the directors and officers of SAM with no remaining interest in the firm. On May 15, 2008, Sprott Inc. successfully completed its initial public offering by way of a secondary offering of common shares. Pursuant to the offering, certain shareholders of Sprott Inc. sold 20,000,000 common shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $200 million. Sprott Inc.'s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol SII (SII.TO) In the U.S. Sprott Inc. trades under the symbol SPOXF. John Embry joined SAM as Chief Investment Strategist in March 2003, with a focus on the Sprott Gold and Precious Minerals Fund. He plays an instrumental role in the corporate and investment policy of the firm, according to the Sprott Web site. Embry, an industry expert in precious metals, has researched the gold sector for over 30 years and has accumulated industry experience as a portfolio management specialist since 1963. He also has been Vice President, Equities and Portfolio Manager at RBC Global Investment Management, a $33 billion organization where he oversaw $5 billion in assets, including the flagship $2.9 billion Royal Canadian Equity Fund and the $250 million Royal Precious Metals Fund. There are a number of ways to invest in the same "style" as they do. There's the Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) and the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV). Sprott has mentioned in several speeches I've attended that he invests some of his own money in these physical precious metals funds when appropriate.

Nerd hero and minor internet celebrity Randall Munroe, author of the witty geek comic XKCD, just made a New York start-up's day. Competitive fitness game Fitocracy has been picking up users at the rate of a Katamari, but today the co-founders were shocked and amazed to see their creation was the basis for today's comic, "Oversight."
"Holy crap @Fitocracy is on the latest xkcd comic!!!" co-founder Dick Talens tweeted this morning. "From now on, nobody can ever doubt @DickTalens's and my geek cred. @Fitocracy was just mentioned in today's @XKCD!!" his co-founder Brian Wang echoed. The pair has never been in contact with Mr. Munroe, Mr. Wang said.
The alt-text on the image, where Mr. Munroe often hides a extra joke, says: "I felt so clever when I found a way to game the Fitocracy system by incorporating a set of easy but high-scoring activities into my regular schedule. Took me a bit to realize I'd been tricked into setting up a daily exercise routine."
The fan website Explain XKCD.com (necessary as the comic's jokes often depend on knowledge of math, physics or coding) unpacks the comic thus:
Stick figures having sex! Against a wall! Over a couch! In some sort of high flying sex swing! Fitocracy is a web site that turns workouts into a social game by awarding points, badges, levels and all sorts of other gamification. However, according to this cartoon, Fitocracy does not consider sex to be an activity acceptable for its site, despite the high flying nature of Cueball and Megan's sexual workout.
The fitness monitor Fitbit, however, gives users a little more credit.
Great blog! Sorry to change the subject, but, since this is the time for New Year's Resolutions, I'm looking for a great Nashville persona trainer to get me in shape. Have you heard of any good ones? There's a new gym called Next Level Fitness, but I've only seen a few reviews. Here's the address of this new Nashville Personal Training Gym, 1917 Church Street Nashville, TN 37203 – (615) 329-2747. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

This site is a joke and a scam, and will not refund you your money for anything! I will never do business with such a joke as this site, and these people ever again! They claim to be legit, but I don't buy it, after they failed to properly and professionally do a search for me, and they claimed they were unable to find the info I had requested within the time frame their site had stated (It wasn't even 24 - 48 hours). They also took money out of my account without my permission, and I did not give them permission to renew my membership after my free trial, especially after they still have not refunded my money back for that "search" I had requested! This site is a scam!!!
Tip for consumers: DO NOT do ANY business with these UNPROFESSIONAL people!!!Ask Jane about Archives
THEY PROVIDE NOTHING! Don't do it!
Free trial is bull$#*! they bill you immediately and give NO REFUNDS when you realize they are worthless and cannot provide what they advertise. They merely give you links to REAL providers that charge by the document. THIS IS A SCAM!!!

I did not find the record I was looking for. So I email wanting to cancel. Well they still charged me forty dollars. I canceled the membership as soon as I was unable to locate a record because it was all old information; nothing current.
BEWARE CONSUMERS! Archives.com is a company owned by Ancestry.com. Yes it has records you can review when doing genealogy research but you are limited to the amount of records available to you. Once you have reviewed the few records they offer on Archives.com they refer you to Ancestry.com for the thousands of records available. The catch is you have to pay for Ancestry.com as well. So instead of purchasing Archives.com on a monthly basis why not make the purchase to Ancestry.com for basically the same amount of money AND you get access to ALL the records. The owner of Ancestry.com and Archives.com, being the same person, is scamming you to get you to join both. Why? To add to his pocketbook. Consumers please don't fall for this scam.
Tip for consumers: BEWARE CONSUMERS! THIS IS A SCAM!Ask Sandy about Archives
I subscribed to Ancestry.com for a 6-month period for $49.95. I have a few months left and low and behold I was charged $39.95 for Archives.com...something I never signed up. I never checked out their services or their website, yet out of the blue, they hit my paypal account for the charges. Obviously Ancestry.com is linked into Archives.com and shares personal payment information. I will be opting out early from Ancestry and will not renew. Too bad really, they could be on the up-and-up and still make a fortune from people wanting to do research. And yes, I did check the box so that archives.com will get a copy of this review.
Such a scam! They falsely advertise that you can search for birth records, death records, etc, when all they have access to is census data. Then they make it nearly impossible to cancel your membership. As a matter of fact they have a section for canceling a subscription, which is easily found under account settings and is worded to make you think you've canceled your membership. Then they bill you and refuse to refund the money.
Too bad you can't rate this site a negative 5! I couldn't find anything on my grandmother who lived from 1937- 1977, but I found birth, death, census, white page listings, etc...on ancestry.com. I've only been a member for about an hour, but after seeing these reviews I'm very glad I used the pay pal option! I've also already cancelled my account and am currently on hold with customer service to MAKE SURE THIS TAKES PLACE!
Signed up for a free 7 day trial on 5/16. Had to enter credit card info so I gave them my PayPal business debit card. Canceled on 5/23, they confirmed via email that my membership privileges were canceled as of 5/23. WITHIN THE SEVEN DAYS. On 5/24 they attempted to take $7.95 out of my PayPal account AND to take $49.95 out. No money in account (debit card) so that failed. They tried again five more times in the next month. During that month long period I repeatedly:
1) called their 800 number only to be told by a live person that their computers were down and they couldn't access my records.
2) went on-line and canceled (receiving an on-screen confirmation that I would not be billed anymore and that I had no payment record on file)
3) sent them an email requesting they stop billing me
As of yesterday, June 27th, they were still trying to bill my PayPal Debit card for $49.95. I have deliberately swept all of my money out of my PayPal account while this is going on because I am not going to let these crooks steal $49.95 of my money.
Today, June 28th, I finally reported my PayPal debit card stolen and asked for a replacement.
These people are either incompetent, or crooks, or both. Whatever - don't make the mistake of giving them your financial information, you WILL regret it.
Why hasn't the appropriate attorney general arrested people in charge of Ancestry.com and Archives.com for fraud? What state are they located in? Will some of you above request an investigation? Please do so and help get thugs like this off the web.
Their records are nothing like what they claim. After reading the above complaints now I wish I hadn't given them my credit card number. Every search I've done so far turns up nothing or very generic information such as census records when I'm searching for death records, or obituaries. They also use Ancestry.com information such as our public trees. The newspaper collection is a joke. They claim to have newspapers going back to the 1700's when most are for the 21st century. I always get a message that I have to use fewer search options. That didn't work either. The viewer for their digital images takes forever and never loads what you want to view.
Rip off. Don't bother with this one.
In the fall of 2013 I did some rapid-fire genealogical research towards my sister's 40th birthday, to gift her a fuller tree. I used several sites including fold3.com, rootsireland.ie, & ancestry.com. Re: ancestry.com, I took the 14-day free trial, cancelled on Day 14 and had no troubles. However, I did begin to see $7.95 charges this spring in reviewing our 2013 charges for archives.com. I do not have any record (neither email confirmation or registration, any emails thereafter from them re: marketing, nor any cancellation emails . . . neither any records in my Password Wallet) of having registered with archives.com. NONE.
They claim I did. They have a date, a mere 2 weeks out from my sister's birthday, by which I had completed my work for the season. At this point, in April, they only allowed a one-month refund of THIS month's charge, but said Monthly Memberships Are Nonrefundable. I understand that, for someone who registered intentionally--which I did not. It is in the fine print. That is all well & good. BUT, I did NOT ever register for a monthly subscription, nor do I have any evidence of having registered for a short-term trial.
I suspect that their partner, ancestry.com, shared my information, or that via ancestry.com I referenced an item on the archives.com site, and thereby the two accounts linked in some way, yet I did not click the archives.com button.
Regardless, it would be no skin off their nose to give me the 8 months' refund, when their records can surely demonstrate that I have NOT used their site at all since August 2013. So, what's $60 to a massive company? Apparently, it's a lot, b/c I cannot get it back.
DO NOT EVEN GO TO THEIR SITE. I am terribly disappointed. I agree with the reports below mine that something is rotten in the state of Utah.
strongly recommend against using this service, including signing up for free short term membership, which I did.
Without my knowledge, they began charging $7.95 per month. When I began looking at my bank statement carefully, I asked them to cancel and give me a refund. They refused.
For almost two years I have had a paid subscription. I agree that this site is a real scam! Not much info is available and now there's another huge issue. A few months ago I requested that my subscription be cancelled, i.e., not renewed again in May, so I don't know yet if they'll charge me for a renewal. Today when I try to access archives.com and their members.recordsbase.com, there is a message warning that the site's security certificate has EXPIRED!!!!! Now what?? My subscription has not expired yet!
This is a scam. I signed up for the free seven days. The next month I have two charges, one for $59.+ and one for 7.95, then another for 7.95. I called their number, no response. The only way to stop them is to cancel your credit card and have a new number re-issued. SCAM! I wish I had seen this site first! I thought this was connected to ancestry.com but it isn't!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE! This is a $#*!ing scam! They don't provide anything you need and IGNORED my request for subscription reversal!
I tried the 7 day trial and found I wasn't getting the information I was lead to believe I would get. All information was very generic, so I cancelled. Then I find out they never cancelled me out and had been withdrawing from my account right along. It took a long heated argument to get them to cancel me and they would only refund me i month. This site is a scam.
1 look up, didn't sign up for service, they made 5 withdrawals from my bank account, UNAUTHORIZED!
STAY AWAY! Used this service once and found myself going in circles. Did not get even one piece of usable information. Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel...three months later I called and they would not credit even though I'd only used once three months earlier. BEWARE of the unscrupulous practices thus company uses to make their money. They do not provide the service they promise. BTW, it took forever to get through.
HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. DO NOT GIVE ARCHIVES.COM YPUR CREDIT CARD!!!!!! Requested a certified copy of my parents marriage certificate from the New York City Clerk of Courts. They said it would take up to 2 months to get. So I came to Archives.com because they misleadingly seem to say that they can get your records and expedite them much faster. So I paid $181 for 3 copies thinking I would get them within a couple of weeks. However....ONLY after you pay does an invoice state that it will take 74 days for Archives.com to get the copies. I even paid (sucker) an additional $12 to "expedite" the records but again ONLY after you pay do they state how long it will take. At that point there is no way to cancel. To make matters worse, Archives.com outsources the whole thing to a third party - USVital. Numerous phone calls to their "customer service" go straight to a voice mail that promises to call you back within 4 hours. None of my calls or emails were returned for 2 days until I left a last message saying I would dispute the charges. Only then someone from another agency calls me to tell me "too bad - we don't care about any of this - your out of luck." HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. SERVICE AND BORDERLINE SCAM. DO NOT USE ARCHIVES.COM.
I signed up for the 7-day trial seeking to verify family information from elderly members. Was unable to find verification and could not find information on myself. Called the phone number for customer service within an hour to cancel and Matt said he would document my cancellation. Then a charge showed on my card. When I emailed the customer service they responded to say they show no record of me calling and I would be charged.
I, like Spencer B., do not have the negative experience that seems to be so prevalent in postings here. As a matter of fact, if you research reviews by companies who compare and rate ancestry research sites (including their customer support and knowledge) it is consistently ranked second only to Ancestry,com. I also couldn't help but notice some of you in this string are actually complaining about Ancestry.com and not Archives.com. At any rate, I subscribe to Archives and another family member uses Ancestry and we compile our findings to get a better family tree. Yes, I actually find info on Archives that is not found on Ancestry and the same is true the other way around.
I did take the 7-day trial and cancelled within two days - four months later I am still getting a monthly charge and cannot get a refund. The customer service is horrible and impersonal. If you can find the information some other way - please, please do - it is awful.
Has anyone had any good experiences using this site? And do you actually get to view records or are you redirected to purchase the document that your are seeking?
As bad as the creditcard.com ad. Once they get your money from your credit card, it is all but impossible to have them give it up. I had to cancel my card. Beware.
The first time I noticed charges from this website, I called to tell them I had never signed up with them. They assured me I was not in their database, and the charges could not be coming from them. The next time I called, it took about 45 minutes, but they finally found that someone else had signed up with my card number, but they would not tell me who. They said they protect their members. So if you are a thief, this is the site for you. And, they said they they would only credit me for one month's charge, but after some arguing, the gave me 5 months credit.
Scam! Do not sign up for this. Someone is using a different email address to access this website; but, using my credit card in accordance to charge my personal credit acct. STAY AWAY from this website!!!! Caveat Emptor!
Like most of the other people, I went ahead and opted for the seven-day "free" trial, but found out once I gave them my bankcard number, it was IMPOSSIBLE to cancel the account and avoid the monthly charges.
The ONLY way to stop it is to cancel the bankcard and have the bank reissue a new bankcard.
I signed up for a free 7 day trial. Site offered nothing for my search - absolutely nothing. So I cancelled my membership the day before it expired. All seemed well. Then I reviewed my credit card billing and I noticed I had been charged for two months. I wrote to their customer service, stated I had cancelled on time and wanted a refund of my two months. A reply from Angela in customer service says they will happily cancel my membership but not give me a refund for my two months as per their membership agreement. Of course, if I had an e-mail showing the cancellation things would be different she said. Seems to be a scam to me. Do not use this site.
They are a people finder - like telephone and address. THEY ARE NOT AN ANCESTOR FINDER!!! BEWARE! On their site they clearly say "Explore Family History" BULL $#*!! There is no way that they do this - the agent 'T' , she plainly ADMITTED THAT! They KNOW that they are LYING to people - they should be put out of business NOW!
All I can say about them is "#$@%$^$%^$#$@#!$#$%^$%^%$#$@$#___***#$!@#@!"
Sadly this says free but you can get no information at all until you submit a credit card. I here that ancestry.com bought them out so maybe they will improve it and it will be available on the ancestry.com site. I love ANCESTRY.COM it is worth every penny I spend on it each year.
I had a great experience with archives.com When I wanted to cancel I called them right up and they took good care of me. When you sign up for the free 7 day trial it says in four places it will bill if not canceled in the 7 days. People just need to pay attention when they put their credit card info on the internet and make sure they understand the terms and conditions.
Don't use - you'll find nothing at all when you search. You have to provide a charge card for your trial period, however you're "assured" if you cancel within 7 days, you won't get charged. I cancelled within 1 hour and not only did they still charge my card, they then charged me the following month as well. Luckily I used my American Express card and it was promptly removed from my account.
found a lot more information on Ancestry.com. Archives leads you to believe you can look at documents right away--not! You have to order them from $30.00 and up! Some of the records I can goto the local library and print them for 5¢ off the microfishe machine. Granted, not all of the records are there, but there's enough there to make me happy. Plus, Archives does not have a whole lot on overseas searches.
I cancelled my "free" trial, I will see if any charges show up on my credit card, especially now after seeing all the complaints about them charging you.
I try to cancel after the trial but they disregard my wish to cancel. I still don't know if they cancel it. I have done twice.
This site is the worst. I was trying to remove my information from them like how spokeo and intelius have all your information under pipl dot com . All other websites remove your information without a problem, but archives dot com will not. I hate to get religious, but they are MORMON OWNED and affiliated with ancestors.com which is the same. I don't know how the BBB works, but they need to be reported. They refuse to take down my web information.
Started trial to see what they had to offer....which was little/no information or a link to the .gov websites to order the appropriate forms. I also saw the advertisement which looked like a screenshot of the death certificate I was looking for and the ad said I could see it right away, but this is not so. Deceptive advertising.
DO NOT GIVE THESE GUYS ANYTHING> We have had the exact experience as those above. Found they charged our card for a renewal, immediately called them and they basically said too bad they would cancel my account but not refund what they had just charged because it was outside their refund policy.
I decided after a couple of months that I no longer wanted them to bill through PayPal directly and removed PayPal as my billing option. I wanted to make the decision month to month whether to renew based on value. I assumed they would bill me. Instead, they continued to bill through PayPal - indicating that if I wanted to change billing, I had to cancel the contract. Repeated emails with customer "service" resulted in continued frustration. I ultimately cancelled the subscription - don't join in the first place!
Very deceptive. Leads you to believe with a click of the mouse you will be able to view documents like birth, marriage and death certificates that may be helpful in working on your family tree for a small monthly fee. In reality most of the information is not documents but rather data that you can get for "free" by just surfing the net.
I signed up for the 7-day free trial. When I clicked on the county and state record it stated in a bold font that $0.00 would be charged. After I submitted it, it changed to $49.90 would be charged. There was no phone # listed on the site. Through 'Contact Us' I immediately sent a request to cancel the order and cancel the free trial. A few days later the charge showed up on my credit card. I got their phone # from my credit card, but they refuse to remove the charge. I am going to pursue getting the charge removed but don't have a lot of hope based on other people's experience with this company.
Scott P. I cannot believe that every single person on this review page has something negative to say about archives.com. The only conclusion I can come up with is that the millions who have actually HAD a great experience with the site is just simply not saying so. This is now the second year I will be using the resource, and I just love what I've accomplished. I use it often and have been doing extensive research into 16 different lineages. I have been able to (with much patience) trace most of my ancestors back for 300 or more years. I'm sorry to hear how some have lost out. I love using this site. The only thing I have to complain about is that they do not have extensive background in continental Europe. Otherwise, I've really enjoyed the results.
I have been doing Genealogy for nearly 30 yrs. When I went to Archives.com they stated that I was a member, yet I could not sign-in. I even went as far as to give a credit card, and would have actually paid for info, but the site continued to refuse to give me access. I wrote to "email@example.com" and received NO RESPONSE. I wrote again, and again. FRUADULANT comes to mind. I would not give this site any stars. I will contact my credit card service to refuse payment if they have the nerve to try to take any $. I deal with many genealogy services and this one brings the words SHAMEFUL FRUDULANT SCAM to mind!
They count on people not checking their credit card bills so they can keep the subscription for as long as possible. They also make it impossible to contact them to cancel or even call them I could not find their phone number anywhere on the site!!!
Stay away, they are scammers!
Here is the "latest" scam from AncestryDotcom.
I enrolled in Ancestry and dutifully gave them a CC#. I cancelled within 5 days and got the confirmation of the cancellation and the $39.95 never appeared on my CC bill.
However, they gave my CC # to a "marketing partner" called One Great Family (OGF) who immediately charged my account for $59.88. I called OGF who immediately cancelled my membership but couldn't refund my money. Instead I was referred back to Ancestry.
At this point, I could see what was going to happen, so I called Visa and filed a dispute on the charge. They blocked the charge until they could investigate,
Then came the "finishing touch". Someone, probably Ancestry, sold my CC# and the buyer started using it. Thankfully Visa sensed fraud and called me. I told them that I had not made the charges and Visa shut down the account and will be reversing all the charges.
For the record, I'm filing a complaint with the Feds and with my State Attorney General.
This fraud has to stop.
If I could, I would give Ancestry and One Great Family MINUS 5 stars.
Horrible and unprofessional! I have just gotten off the phone with manager Melissa, who did nothing to help me get my money back (I was charged 2010, 2011 and 2012). They refunded the money from this year, as it was placed yesterday, but as of previous year she suggested I should take care of my finances and that they don't do it for clients!! Now the aspect that angered me and that I see described in previous comments: to sound professional they claim they always send emails prior to placing charges on a card. GUESS WHAT? NEVER got any...When I asked Melissa about it, she claimed (!) they were courtesy emails and they didn't have to take responsibility for them getting lost! After I said it was odd I never got them, three years in a row, and how I suspect they were never supposed to be delivered, so that I wouldn't really know about the charge, she claimed I should be responsible for my account regardless if I get an email or not. Well, nice customer service, Archive.com - let's just admit, you DO count on people not noticing your charges and the courtesy emails you should send that you so proudly emphasize NEVER make it to clients inbox. They don't go to their junk folder as you strongly suggest, you just NEVER SEND THEM (they will say just about anything to make you look like a fool who doesn't have control over their life and will blame their shortcomings on you or your email account pushing their emails to its junk folder). Ironically, just when I was ready to hang up on Melissa, I got an automatic email from Archives about the phone call I placed AND I GOT THIS ONE!! So, the marketing emails MAKE IT to my inbox, but the ones about CHARGES DON'T? Right, I get it. Keep counting on people not noticing the charges and then bombard them with your ready to use phrases that are formed specifically to corner the client, make them look stupid and get off the phone, so you can keep their money. Lesson learned - NEVER provide your credit card for a FREE trial. ARCHIVES.COM is a SCAM.
Am going to cancel my free trial immediately. I think their records are in very poor disarray, their trees & "my Records" are not user-friendly and furthermore, it is very hard to discontinue. If you do sign up, keep the first email they send you. It has the link to where to go if you want to cancel. They certainly DO try to trick people into unwanted subscriptions. You get what you pay for!
I, too, regret that I did not read reviews for this bogus "company" prior to signing up for the 7 day free trial. I talked to two people (their customer service offices are in Omaha) who seemed to be reading off a script broken record style. One supposedly was a "supervisor"...in reality probably was the desk buddy of the previous person I spoke to. I asked for the address to send my request for a refund of this worthless service and for a contact person to whom I could send to their attention and he would not give a supervisor or head of customer service name. When I asked for the address of the corporate headquarters, he said he wouldn't give that out because customer service is in Omaha. Really? So what if all us unhappy customers wrote to the corporate headquarters and flooded their office with the stories of their atrocious and borderline scam service? I plan on sending letters there AND to "customer service" whose address is PO Box 391146, Omaha, NE 68139, at least that's the address according to the faux customer supervisor I just got off the phone with. I wonder if these people are aware that they have a non-credible rating as compared to a reputable company such as ancestry.com? I could only hope that as is stated on this site, that the owner of archives.com does see these reviews. Oh, wait, that would mean that the higher ups actually care about their reputation out there...somehow I don't think they care the least...only about the money their are raking in at the expense of the unknowing public.
I should've read these reviews first. The previous descriptions are fully accurate. As useful as, but less transparent than every other "free" public records scam out there.
Their 7 day free trial is simply a scheme to get your credit card number. They will charge you immediately anyways. The matches they provide on any search ("We found x vital records on y") turn out to be mostly links to other paysites or links to freely available information. I was lucky enough to use PayPal for the free trial registration (which I was unable to cancel with Archives.com), because I could just file a complaint with PayPal and they agreed it was a scam. Archives.com seems to pay some third party bloggers to refute the scam claim - do not fall for that, either. Archives.com has always been a scam, and needs to be shut down.
I paid $10.00 for a 3 month membership through an online coupon. In my opinion archives.com are deceptive regarding the scope of information they have to offer. After 3 MINUTES I knew I had thrown away my money. Total waste.

Masons: If You Can See It and Believe It, You Can Achieve It
Have you ever done something you thought wasn't possible, but then you did it? Then, when you looked back, you thought, "Wow, how did I do that? I never knew I had that potential!"
The most successful people have visions and believe they can make their visions become realities. What if you and I take our own dreams to another level by first seeing our plans in our minds, and then believing our plans can be achieved? If we can get this part right, we can achieve things we never thought possible.

Booneville School District in
Mississippi has implemented Chromebooks and iPad Minis for all 1,300 K-12
students and 90 teachers, along with new wireless infrastructure to support the
The small, rural district is part of a $1.2 million state-funded pilot
project to implement innovative education technology in Mississippi schools. The
goal of the project is to help schools in the state bridge the digital divide
and help students develop the skills they will need in the workplace.
To support the large influx of mobile devices, the district implemented a
hosted Wi-Fi solution from C Spire. The new
network includes 116 wireless access points to provide coverage across all three
of the district's schools. The network has enough density to support
simultaneous connections for every student and teacher in every classroom,
according to C Spire.
Students use their Chromebooks and iPads to access "Web-based resources and
digital learning tools like digital textbooks, library e-databases, reverse
learning podcasts, electronic submission of assignments, real-time lectures and
mobile applications," according to a news release. Students in grades 3 through 12 are allowed to take their
devices home with them for study, homework and research, and the district
provided each child with a backpack to protect the devices. Younger students
leave their devices at school at the end of the day.
According to district superintendent, Todd English, students and teachers
have both welcomed the new technology. "When students are excited and motivated
about learning and expanding their knowledge base, teachers are excited," he
said in a prepared statement. "It's been particularly gratifying to see the
response from some of our younger students."
English said the district is serving as a model for other schools and that
the technology initiative will help other districts follow in Booneville's
footsteps. "We're excited about our district serving as a laboratory for
innovation and best practices for other schools and we're more than willing to
share our experiences to help others gain the same advantage," he said in a
prepared statement.

Thinks of these words
When they say

I was born to stand out
On my two feet
Not to follow somebody's shadow
Never to fit in hero-worshipping
Again never to be as a bootlicker
My hero is my own heart
Resilient and brave
It remains whole after it has been shattered
This blood is glue
To piece me back together
The difference between a coward and a hero
is that both are very afraid.
Neither wants to do what has to be done,
but the hero does it anyway.
When the rich want more
the earth plunged in to despair
a front created
this usually a war...
we all weep for a hero

What you find here is very shocking information on the "scientific" conference VIDEA'95 organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology. To prevent such cases in the future, please take time and read the paper ``WARNING: Beware of VIDEA'' presented here. We promise, that you will not be only shocked, but that you will also have much fun! All given information is absolutely true and can be proven by us.
Now this page also contains our answers to selected reactions, as well as a complete set of all reactions within two weeks and a collection of Prof. Brebbia's answers on the web. Please, make up your own mind!
Now also available: set of all reactions within seven months.
Please, distribute this URL (http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/~wp/videa.html) to all colleagues in technological fields who could be affected by these activities of the Wessex Institute of Technology (can be reached via email to firstname.lastname@example.com). We would appriciate, if you could mail these pages to your colleagues. For that purpose, a pure text version of the main story is available as well.
In 1998 the authors have learned of a similar story in physics by Alan D. Sokal, who managed to get a complete 35 page paper to be published in a well-known journal. You can find Sokal's parody article on the Web also.
But also some scientists have a very unorthodox way of working. In 1995 the Organizing Committee of the EURO-PAR´95 conference revealed cases of plagiarism which were committed by C. V. Papadopoulos. It turned out that he already had a long list of publications which he had generated by copying the work of other authors. Read the full story here.
In 2005 Jeremy Stribling, Max Krohn, Dan Aguayo, three students from MIT, created the program SCIgen (and put it on the web-site http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/scigen/) with which it is possible to write random papers immediately. With this tool they submitted papers to some conferences with success! On their webpages you can also find additional links to "Related Work".
In 2008 an interview with Carlos Brebbia demonstrated that the WIT people are still active.
In January 2009 a similar fake conference (CITE 2008) was documented by using the Automatic Computer Science Paper Generator SCIgen: Herbert Schlangemann Blog.
In June 2013 we were made aware by Paul Colin Gloster of another statement from the WIT distributed in 1995, online at: Statement of WIT.
In November 2014 we got knowledge of the acceptance of a spam paper at the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology (IJACT) journal: Get me off Your F... Mailing List :-).

The Town of Apex, North Carolinafirst settled in the 1860s and incorporated in 1873was one of the earliest new towns to develop around the state capital of Raleigh, as railroads traversed the county after the Civil War.
The name "Apex" was adopted because the community was the highest point on the Chatham Railroad between Richmond and Jacksonville, Florida. The current town motto—"Apex, the Peak of Good Living" not only captures the name's historical significance, but refers to the fact that in places along the town's main street (Salem Street), water which falls on one side of the street flows to the Neuse River, and on the other side it flows to the Cape Fear River.
The Apex downtown district reflects the town's rich historical beginning and is highlighted by the landmark 1914 Apex Union Depot. The Depot has been restored to its original glory and now houses the offices of the Apex Chamber of Commerce, a Visitors' Center and meeting room. Visitors enjoy the rich woodwork, double fireplace, ticket windows of the stationmaster's office, and the old switchmen's lanterns. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Apex, North Carolina is also home to:
• One of the state's most intact turn-of-the-century railroad towns with 60 well-preserved commercial buildings and homes dating from 1870-1940.
• A restored downtown area that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Downtown Apex features antique and specialty gift shops, as well as dining experiences that include an ice cream parlor, a fine dining bistro and more. For more information on downtown Apex visit www.apexdowntown.com
• New Hope Valley Railway, offering rides on restored trains and the nearby North Carolina Railroad Museum.
• The annual PeakFest held the first Saturday in May with hundreds of crafters, fine arts, food and more. And while many of the attractions provide a glimpse into the past, Apex continues to grow and change.
