2013 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Kingston, GA, January 13, 2014 08:41Bought brand new F-350 diesel, "Dooley" double cab long bed 4x4 Platinum. Nearly every option available. Truly top of the line. After 6 mo./6400 miles, started operating at reduced capacity and Ford advised me to get it off of the road. That is where it has been since. Was informed that vehicle could not be repaired because no available parts. FMC assigned case manager and even case supervisor. But neither would ever contact me, let alone find a solution. Finally sold off the carcass at a great loss. Do yourself a favor. Steer away from FMC at all costs. If you choose to do business with this company, you do so at your own risk, and you are truly on your own.

Here's a few Radical Thoughts, from the Far-West:
"..two long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, well over $1 trillion of spending and around 150,000 deaths. It is a heavy reckoning for one man's life...."
These "Two Illegal War$", have a Price Tag that far exceed$ that Mea$ly $1 trillion!
These "Two Illegal War$", have (either Directly or InDirectly) led to the Death & Destruction of Many MORE Lives than mentioned above!!
These "Two Illegal War$", have nothing to do with the Man- who's now supposedly resting @ the Bottom of the Arabian Sea!!!
"...Along the way, America has compromised the values that are its greatest strength. This was partly by accident, because war is always cruel and messy, but also by design,...."
That Compromise, came at the Great Co$t of certain Liberties & Rights -that were once thought to be InAlienable & InHerent!
That Compromise, was NOT Accidental, they've been working on the Plan & Script for a LONG Time now!!
That Compromise, can NOT be Allowed to Continue -under any Circumstances!!!
"....How to encourage it? First, don't relent on counter-terrorism. Al-Qaeda will need stopping for years to come......"
So if I read this correctly, nothing has changed!
How many Years will it take, to Defeat that Diabolical Invention & Myth they call Al-Qaeda?
When will this Endless & Fake War on Terror END??
Peace, Love & Respect.
Let me see......the United States spent a trillion dollars and caused directly and indirectly the deaths of 150,000 people in Iraq and Afghanistan, most of whom had nothing to do with the horrors of 9/11 - all to kill a single infamous terrorist ?
Justice or a cause to celebrate ? I think not. More like a textbook example of how NOT to fight terrorism.
Xconserve wrote: "...This was truly a case of helping a Terrorist succeed at reaching his goals..."
Yup, we sure did. Without Osama, we would not have elected Obama. But, bad as Obama is, even if he is reelected, I am confident America can out last a bad leader.
The biggest threat to the peaceful Arab appeals for democracy and self-determination is violence perpetrated by the West in their name.
While Americans & perhaps the entire west may deserve to bath in jubilation on the demise of their blood foe, let me remind you guys that your terrorists may be someone else' freedom fighters. Even in seemingly neutral nation like China, lots of Chinese regard him not as an evil criminal but a somewhat skewed Robin Hood daring to take on the Goliath in defense of his belief. You may consider those innocent Americans killed in the World Trade Centre as precious lives lost, do you not ponder for a moment there are far greater innocent lives lost around the world due to your superior so-called smart bombs? Are these people any lesser beings, are they without loved ones & dependents who will suffer terrible consequences due to their loss? For all the hubris felt in the west, the only lesson learned by the rest of humanity is that it would have been a better world if it is more balance. Never again shall the rest of humanity allow one section of people to run wild due to its superiority in whatever field. The world must unite to put a stop to the west's hijacking of the world's agenda.
Perhaps Pakistanis and US Politicians both know how hard it would be for US armies to invade Pakistan, and stay there.
Pakistan have adapted policies officially and unofficially that of free ownership of weapons / guns since quite a few decades now.
What that means is, millions of guns including AK-47, 56 and other types in the hands of religiously passionate Pakistanies, who by a huge percentage have voted and supported hardliners in recent several elections, and might even fight for them or once the need arises.
It might be the biggest challenge US armies have EVER faced to try to walk in the streets of Pakistan after invasion like they are seen doing today in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Compared to Afghanistan and Iraq, Pakistan has far more infrastructures for the resistance forces to combat the US forces once they are in. The ISI and Pakistani military who is until now playing covertly will obviously come out in open and fight. This also is bigger ticket than what they have paid in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Then there is huge embarrassment before Russians, Chinese, and Indians waiting to explode in media before US face, basically saying "alright so this was the Pakistan you had been "strengthening" as your right hand in the region!!.
That's probably why the US/Western politicians and the Economist are saying "yeah we want it this way, they are still our friends."
The Economist experesses its concern for Pakistan but says it is better for the West, USA in particular, to keep close to Pakistan rather than 'cut it lose'. I can see more sense in that view, if the West really does have influence over Pakistan's internal and external policies.
The record shows that Pakistan became a nuclear power right under the nose of the USA, it has launched several wars against India and Afghanistan against the wishes of the USA, Pakistan is helping China spread her influcence in South Asia against the policies of the USA, Pakistan is undermining India seeking to destabilise a good chunk of South Asia and so on. This short list does not include the extensive net work of TERRORISM that Pakistan has nursed over the last twenty years - all of them still flourishing there very well!!
Avoid Boredom', above, mentions many of the terrorist groups in Pakistan that openly display their anti-Western ideology. AB's points also show the futility of Western alliance with Pakistan.
Thus, the Economist's 'liberal' view of continuing Western patronage of Pakistan is an exercise in futility. In any case liberalism overall is an ideology that has lost most of its glory since the 1980s. It has no scope in fighting extremist Islam, especially, Pakistani Islam.
Knowing how strong the religious imperative is in Islam, it is only a matter of time before another person emerges promising to deliver the Islamic Utopia. He would do the same things that OBL, the Mahdi, the Ayatollahs and many others, too numerous to mention here, have done in the history of Islam. He too would say, 'killing by any means is a necessary sacrifice to get into that Utopia'.
Sadly, one has to agree with 'Panegyricus' and 'Hindu Kafir' (above) that this story of Muslims vs. 'infidels' so far, may well repeat itself in the future. Westernisation, 'Arab Spring' and so on are mere scratches on the surface.
Many times I feel that US Political community is as lethargic and dumb as any other unionized government department in US is. The ambassadors and intelligence agencies have been "working" with Pakistan since over 30 years now as "Allies", and Pakistan has successfully managed to build entire Taliban and Al-Qaeda right before them.
Yet US just does exactly opposite, it funds them, pampers there military coup Presidencies (Musharraf), and even Presidents like Bush goes and plays Cricket as a token of mutual cultural appreciation.
Yet it is this very culture that has deep rooted ideologies that re-produce extremists in one form or the other. There are open organizations in Pakistan like the Jaish-e-Muhammad, Jamiat Ulam-e-Islam (JUI), Jamat-e-Islami (JI) get re-produced and re-incarnated, and gives open speeches and burn flags
US blindly ignores them, despite of the fact that these organizations have a huge public support in Pakistan who fund them like charities and religious organizations.
But the US politicians still believe that Pakistan and its people and there military is still working for US interest.
I actually admire the shrewdness of Pakistanis here who can manage to blind fold and rip US for such a long time. They truly know how hollow US machinery is.
Al-Queda and its like are really a psychological phenomena, not a religious or political one. They are an outlet for angry people to do angry things. After years of murdering innocents, mostly innocent Muslims, the Islamic world has realized this. Islamic extremism has defeated itself more than by any American action.
I agree that we must continue police and intelligence efforts to prevent future attacks. As criminal organizations, extreme Islamic groups must be combated. But as a political force they're finished.
Naive writting and naive commentators
Islam accepts peace on its own terms. Finding a middle ground is just buying time.
Few reasonable, peace-loving persons really lament the demise of Bin Laden. But wasn't the message on the cover a little clumsily chosen? The article concedes that: "His vision, however impractical, of purging Islam and establishing a single Islamic caliphate appealed to Muslims disgusted by the venality of their own elites."
Inasmuch as we recognize that there are practical, non-violent Muslims who share some aspect of Bin Laden's dream - but who oppose his methods of achieving it; a dream of spreading their religion, a dream proselytizing American Christians share; a dream fueled by the (understandable) disgust they feel w/r/t the venality of their own elites - venality not entirely w/o relation to Western behavior and interests.... well, doesn't "Now Kill His Dream," sound a trifle belligerent and hypocritical?
Next new USA's president (probably after second mandate of Obama since with Bin Laden's death we can call the elections already won) will find a new Osama for sure.
I believe that Gadaff or Ahmadinejad will be the special one.
"According to a poll by the Pew Research Centre, confidence in Mr bin Laden in the Palestinian territories has fallen from 72% in 2003 to 34% now. In Jordan it is down from 56% to 13%."
So the real question on this data is whether Bin Laden's fall in the polls is due to an anti-violence shift in the minds of Palestinians and Judeans or solely because Bin Laden couldn't repeat his perceived success at killing innocent Americans.
Fascinating and telling that 72% percent of Palestinians were pro Bin Laden 2 years after he was responsible for the deaths of 3,000 innocent Americans. Also, is the fall to a mere 34% something to feel great about. So 34% of Palestinians currently think of a man that killed thousands of innocents as a hero...really???? I guess the 'innocents' is a matter of perspective.
Bullets, whether one or many, and whether fired by you, me or someone else, do not kill dreams. They give rise to more dreams. The only way to kill a dream is to understand it. That takes work, lots of work. It is not easily done.
The way US killed bin Laden did the exact opposite of killing bin Laden's dream. A raid in the middle of the night, shooting the unarmed man, taking the corpse, and feeding it to the fishes. Obama will do the mafia proud.
A violent death inspires followers. Go read the bible for proof. Such an end to bin Laden will give his followers and any anti-america fighters a reason to fight on for many centuries to come.
I hope it is worth it to the Obama administration, trading a few days of chest-thumping for this horrible outcome. Is there anyone with a brain at the top?
I understand your reference to Somalia, which is a failed state, but why Mali, which is one of the few countries in Africa rated as "free" by Freedom House? Please explain.
The Economist should really have been more descriptive about what his dream is, given that it advocated killing it.
It might be surprising to many to make a list of the goals of the EU and a list of the goals of the Muslim movement. Now change "Koran" to "European values", and compare the lists.
Might make you think too much, though, so better not.
On the matter of Osama bin Laden's departure, Clinton warned that the United States and its allies would continued to \"crack down and where necessary kill or capture\" those directing actions against US and allied troops. With hands on the mouth she said THAT I wonder. Must be a joke. I thank you She seems surprised Firozali A.Mulla OOHHH Osama is dead ohhh NEXT lesson Post-bin Laden Racism: Teacher Tells 9th Grade Muslim Girl, 'I Bet You're Grieving' While new news on Osama bin Laden's killing seems to emerge hourly, one aspect of the aftermath has been reported sparingly: the related vitriolic racism that not only gets directed towards Muslims, but to Middle Easterners, South Asians, and various other racial, ethnic and religious groups that are ignorantly perceived to be 'other.' And while there are certainly other accounts of racism flaming up since bin Laden's killing on Sunday, this story is probably the most egregious, disgusting and hateful we've heard thus far: News travel fsat don't they not I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA

Toronto has hit the big time. I mean, when Ron Burgundy sings Loverboy's "Working for the Weekend" on Conan in honor of Mayor Rob Ford, let's just say T-dot is on the map. Sure, it's for all the wrong reasons. But a shoutout on late-night American television can't be ignored by the Canadian masses. My Facebook news feed runneth over.
Anyone who's spent six minutes watching TV or browsing the Internet in the last few weeks has come across the Toronto mayor's train wreck of a life: the admission to smoking crack; the invocation of a "drunken stupor" as an excuse for being high; the not having oral sex with a woman because he has "more than enough to eat at home"; his litany of apologetic non-apologies; and his national TV show with his doppelganger brother that lasted all of one episode. Now you can even hire a devil-worshiping comedy troupe in Toronto to take you on a bus tour of the most notorious sites in the crack-smoking scandal.
It would all be hilarious if it wasn't so unseemly. And serious. There are ongoing allegations of domestic abuse and violence. The mayor appears to have an addiction problem. He also let a crack addict share a ride with his children while he himself was "out of it." How often does that happen? Are those kids safe?
There's been much handwringing about how Toronto got here. How did a city that's one of the most diverse in the world end up with a mayor who makes both racist and homophobic comments? How did multicultural Toronto end up with a mayor who seems to revel in his lack of culture? How has Ford's approval rating remained virtually unscathed, at 42 percent, as the scandal has metastasized?
What I've found most interesting in the debate about Rob Ford is the attempt to parse out "Ford Nation"—that seemingly monolithic swathe of voters living in the suburbs. The stereotype is that the suburbs are all about big backyards and SUVs and barbecuing on the deck, and that the people there are the Canadian counterparts of the American Tea Partiers. They are fiscal conservatives and just want to be left alone with minimal interference from big government. Ford Nation loves Rob Ford because Rob Ford is just like Ford Nation.
Sure, the suburbs have their share of million-dollar "monster homes" and upscale neighborhoods, just like there's poverty in Toronto's downtown core. But we don't often talk about how, in large parts of Toronto, suburban also means poor and non-white. Without a discussion of that, any portrait of Ford Nation is ridiculously incomplete.
I left Toronto some years back and now live on just the other side of its northeastern border. But I grew up on the outer edge of what is now Toronto back in the days before amalgamation—before the ominously named "megacity" came into existence. Back then, Toronto referred only to a small region that comprises today's downtown. Metropolitan Toronto used to be six separate municipalities which, in 1998, came together in one jagged, hulking mass called the City of Toronto.
In our hearts, however, the old municipalities live on, if not politically than certainly as part of people's sensibilities. Culturally, Toronto still means downtown. And Scarborough—where I grew up—is still called "Scarberia," a way to poke fun at its perceived distant and vast nothingness. (It was a perfectly nice place to live, by the way.)
Talk to people who live and work downtown about life in the suburbs and you're bound to hear something, first and foremost, about how unreachable the suburbs are. If you do manage to find your way there, there's nowhere to go and nothing to do. It's all urban sprawl and cars. People in the old city of Toronto, meanwhile, are perceived as elites, living lives filled with frilly extras like museums and street festivals. They all ride bikes, drink lattes, and don't worry about taxes because they have money to burn.
It's worth keeping in mind that voter support for Ford in Toronto's 2010 municipal elections was not crushing. Just over 800,000 people voted in the municipal elections (about 53 percent of voters), and almost half of them voted for Ford (47 percent). If you look at a map of the voter breakdown, you'll see Ford won every single ward of every pre-amalgamation municipality (the suburbs). The candidate who came in second, George Smitherman—he was a member of the provincial parliament and a cabinet minister—lost by almost 100,000 votes, and dominated in the downtown core.
The coverage now, like the conversations back then, has framed the 2010 mayoral race as one that pitted the urban cosmopolitan elite against the rednecks of the suburbs. It's a convenient narrative, but it ignores the fact that Ford's message resonated among those people who see themselves as the most marginalized: the non-white suburban poor.

For this year-long celebration of Sam Shepard's 70th birthday, Magic Theatre spearheaded revivals of his most acclaimed works in theaters all across the Bay Area. "What sets "36 Stories by Sam Shepard" apart is that these are Shepherd's prose stories, turned into performance, the only completely new work created for the celebration..." remarks Word for Word co-artistic director Susan Harloe. "Word for Word was invited to create an original work by adapting his prose for the stage." Company member Amy Kossow spent a year sifting through five of Mr. Shepard's collections of short stories, eventually choosing to begin with a single story, set, simply enough, in a roadside diner. The resulting script, "36 Stories by Sam Shepard", weaves together tales of his beloved great American desert highways, the endless lonesome roads along which one may meet any type of fellow wanderer.

The Chain of Being and Having in Slavic
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe complex diachronic and synchronic status of the concepts be and have can be understood only with consideration of their full range of constructions and functions. Data from modern Slavic languages (Russian, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian) provides a window into zero copulas, non-verbal have expressions, and verbal constructions. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, be and have are analyzed in terms of a blended prototype model, wherein existence/copula for be and possession/relationship for have are inseparably combined. These concepts are related to each other in their functions and meanings and serve as organizing principles in a conceptual network of semantic neighbors, including give, take, get, become, make, and verbs of position and motion. Renewal and replacement of be and have occur through processes of polysemization and suppletization involving lexical items in this network. Topics include polysemy, suppletion, tense/mood auxiliaries, modality, causatives, evidentiality, function words, contact phenomena, syntactic calques, and idiomatic constructions. less

Flagstone Retirement Planning can help employees set up a outside savings account using split direct deposit.
Split direct deposit
":According to the Consumer Federation of America, a large majority of Americans agree the most effective way to build personal savings is to do so automatically by transferring funds regularly from a paycheck to their savings or investment accounts held at external financial institutions. DuPont lets employees regularly send their direct deposit to more than one outside account, making it easier to contribute to a savings account. The trend to automate savings is on the rise, notes a study by The Electronic Payments Association (NACHA) and PayItGreen. Some 73 percent who use a direct-deposit service tuck money away in savings or money market accounts. Do people save more money when they use split deposit? A separate study from NACHA revealed that they save up to $90 more per month than those who use another method to save.*"

NHIAA Baseball: Pinkerton beats Trinity in key game
Trinity's Ryan Slatky is met by Zack Szczechawicz Pinkerton's catcher Nate Rossi, right looks away at Pinkerton High School on Friday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Pinkerton trailed Trinity of Manchester by five runs after four innings, but fought back to tie the contest in the sixth and then prevailed, 9-8, when Tom Diskin delivered an RBI single that scored Chris Gerossie in the seventh.
Pinkerton made it a 7-6 game by scoring four runs in the fifth. After Trinity added a run in the top of the sixth, the Astros pulled even by scoring twice in the bottom half of the inning.
Pinkerton has three regular-season games remaining: Dover (home), Winnacunnet (away) and Nashua South (home).

Exciting new changes at Hawchurch C of E Primary School
I am really pleased to be taking on the role of Executive Head at Hawkchurch in a new management partnership arrangement with Winsham Primary School. We think this is the first cross-county border partnership. The staff and governors at both schools are enthusiastic about working more closely together to enhance children's learning.
Hawkchurch will also be welcoming a new KS1/EYFS teacher in September. James Smith has already been into school to help rearrange furniture and plan for learning.
With school budgets ever decreasing, small schools are always looking for help! With that in mind, if any of you are interested in helping out at school on a voluntary basis (volunteers will need a DBS check) we would love to see you. We are looking for help with things like - listening to pupils reading, running clubs at lunchtimes or after school (eg sewing or chess) or help with gardening. You may have some more ideas! If you do, please let us know. I hope to see many of you in the near future.
Sarah Stringer
01297 678331
Everyone at the school strongly believes that Hawkchurch C of E Primary School is a wonderful place for your children to attend and for us to work alongside you as your child grows. We are an extremely friendly school, always open and approachable, along with being dedicated to ensuring that your child's time here is happy and beneficial.
We are a small school which has many benefits as it ensures that you and your children are known to everyone. This enables their individuality to be nurtured and celebrated. Our curriculum is very broad and balanced offering many opportunities for all of the children to flourish. We value high attainment of children in all areas of the curriculum. Our curriculum encourages children to become creative, considerate and responsible individuals who are well equipped with a wide range of skills.
Extra-curriculum activities and trips are an important part of what we do here. All of our children enjoy many different experiences and participate often in activities with other local primary schools.
The school is located in a stunning natural setting and we make full use of this to enhance the learning experiences of all. We have a very large school field, school garden, outside classroom and play equipment. All of these enable our children to enjoy a physically active education and develop in them an appreciation of being outside and the natural environment.
Willow Trust News
Hawkchurch C of E Primary School is proud to be a member of the Willow Schools Co-operative Trust, a ground breaking initiative which came into being in March 2014. Along with five other schools, the Trust sees us working strategically together towards a shared vision for the continued educational advancement of each school. With the active involvement of the wider community, and the protection of our educational assets, we'll be working together to make the best use of all resources, in order to achieve better outcomes for our children and families. We are sure that the high standards of learning in all our schools will be further enhanced by this initiative. More importantly the Willow Schools Co-operative Trust offers an exciting and sustainable future for our schools in their village settings for many years to come.

Markets Likely to Shrug at Social Media Changes
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Pricing in social media would be the obvious next step for markets.
A week after a group hacked The Associated Press Twitter account and posted an erroneous tweet that temporarily sank the Dow Jones Industrial Average more than 150 points , the Commodities Futures Trading Commission announced it will meet Tuesday to hold a public meeting to discuss "swap data reporting."
It's a fancy way of saying that high frequency traders are gathering to discuss the influence social media can have on markets.
Last Wednesday's flash crash among all three major U.S. indexes boomeranged within minutes back near session highs and left investors generally confident that the swing wasn't more than a minor blip for the day.The event came just weeks after the Securities and Exchange Commission said companies could use social media to make announcements and after Bloomberg approved its terminals to display tweets of various users from the social networking site that could be used by traders. News outlets were quick to publish stories questioning what the AP twitter hack and the market's violent reaction may mean in the event of future hacks and false social networking information. Crowd sourcing on Reddit led to mistaken speculation that an innocent party may have been involved in the Boston bombings (Reddit General Manager Erik Martin later apologized for the "online witch hunts"). Peoples' use of Twitter, Facebook and other social outlets are part of the evolution of communication, and the April 24 hack is another event that has pushed regulators and traders to further discuss the space of this relatively new medium. Misinformation from social media is no different than misinformation that always has existed, whether it was the Web, television, radio or any other mass dissemination of information. The gathering at CFTC headquarters on Tuesday may be an important step to prepare regulators for future social media scoops or flubs that could greatly shift the market, but more market-moving news on Twitter and Facebook is likely to become such a regular occurrence that markets will simply do what they've done for centuries: price it in and move along.

CAR claims BMW M1 destined for production
The July issue of CAR magazine features an exclusive interview with BMW board member Herbert Diess in which the exec reveals that the M1 Hommage concept is destined for production. Diess says, "We have the know-how, we have the right engine, we even have the infrastructure to build such a car," but CAR doesn't divulge too many secrets online (they are, after all, in the business of selling dead trees). The Brit pub gives up a few teasers about the mid-engine supercar, namely that it won't be called the M1, BMW's plan to fit "heron-wing" doors and a powertrain line-up that will include three engine choices. On that last bit, we'd suspect that the twin-turbo'd 3.0-liter engine would be a suitable entry-level mill, followed by the M3's V8 and the M5/M6's V10, with the latter benefiting from a duo of turbochargers. It's all speculation at this point, so we'll have to wait for the July issue to hit UK newsstands tomorrow, with sales in the U.S. beginning later this week.

Theres not much that Quantrena Falls wants out of life.
It would be nice to go back to school, she said, to study sign language or a foreign language.
And it would also be nice, one day, to replace her 1991 Geo Prism and the thousands of miles its logged over the years.
But the 45-year-old lifelong Charlotte resident figures those things can wait.
Falls is a stay-at-home grandmom to JaQuentis Lindsay, 4, and Jahzara Lindsay, 10 months. Her two adult children also live in her three-bedroom apartment near Archdale Drive and Old Pineville Road.
I told them, Dont worry about getting anything for me for Christmas as long as my grandkids have what they want, Falls said.
Falls said the apartment can get crowded, but trips with her grandchildren to Park Road Park, Bible study on Wednesday, and Sunday school on the weekends are a pleasant reprieve.
The grandchildren are among some 6,000 area youngsters registered for help from the Salvation Armys Christmas Bureau. The bureau, with help from the Observers Empty Stocking Fund, will provide gifts for roughly 14,000 children this year.
Falls received help from the Salvation Army earlier in her life.
At 21, she was a young mom raising two children and battling clinical depression. The illness made getting out of bed difficult and going to work nearly impossible.
Now, years later, the family is fighting the economic downturn in Charlotte.
In 2011, nearly 30 percent of children younger than 5 years old in North Carolina lived in poverty, according to data released last week by the U.S. Census Bureau. Thats up from 22.6 percent in 2007.
In Mecklenburg County, 23.8 percent of kids younger than 18 lived in poverty last year, compared with 13.8 percent five years ago, data show.
Falls said money has been tight in recent years. The family scrapes by on food stamps, Social Security, housing vouchers and disability payments for her depression.
The situation got worse, when Falls son, DaAnton, 22, lost his job as a cook more than a year ago. Hes been looking for a new job but has yet to land one.
Her 24-year-old daughter, QuanMeshia, JaQuentis and Jahzaras mom, spends most of her days in cosmetology school. Shell graduate in March, Falls said.
I want to go to school, but Im letting my daughter do what she needs to do, Falls said. I dont want her to be missing out.
Until then, Falls will continue to care for and entertain the grandkids (though they mainly entertain each other, and her, she admits).
She said JaQuentis loves to play with electronics and trains and wants a race-car bed for Christmas. But Falls thinks clothes might be a better option for the 4-year-old.
Besides, Falls said, shes already told the boy that life can be difficult and sometimes you cant get what you want.
Were dealing with (the financial situation), Falls said. Were not complaining about it. Im praying that something better comes available.

I sent Enhanced Recovery a DV letter a month ago after they popped up on all three of my reports. Today i received a letter from them stating that they removed the informatio from my reports, but that they included the validation info from the original creditor. The second page was not my info but were they had received someone else's payment and that there account was satisfied in full. This included that person's name, address, and account number. My fear is that this other person now has my account info. Please tell that at this is a violation and that something can be done!
Now that's a big oops. I'd contact them and advise them of this.
They will obviously assert no intent to disclose information to another party, and that it was simply a clerical error.
Absent willful intent, I doubt that you will get any legal remedy.
