Welcome To U.S. Border Fire Report El Paso lawyer Gary Hill indicted threatening driver with a gun in July car crash incidentBy Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative reporter. Aug 14, 2009 2:00 PM PDT . Revised Aug 16, 2009Gary Hill El Paso lawyer Gary Hill has been indicted by a state grand jury on a charge of aggravated assault. Hill was arrested and jailed Wednesday. Hill was indicted in an incident from July in which he allegedly waved a handgun following a car crash as reported by the El Paso Times today. Police said that Hill was involved in the car crash just before noon on July 22 at his Downtown office. Hill allegedly pulled a handgun on the other vehicle's driver and told him, "You want to fuck with me, I'll kill you." . Carey Marcella McClintock - May 2008 Gary Hills problems may be just beginning. Carey Marcella McClintock was allegedly threatening to testify against the prominent and well known El Paso criminal defense lawyer who has represented Mexican and American drug traffickers and that he himself was beholding to the drug cartels and their gang members.Carey's father has been independently investigating his daughter's killing and now believes that Carey was taken from a Texas town near Dallas to Juarez Mexico across the border from El Paso Texas on a ruse, and was brutally murdered on August 31, 2008 in Juarez Mexico, so she could not testify. She was found in an abandoned house in the desert minutes outside of the city. She had been beaten and stabbed multiple times. Carey's father believes that his daughter was about to testify against Hill and others in a federal and on going investigation involving the Mexican drug cartel and there hired assailants the El Paso's Barrio Azteca Gang one of the most dangerous in the nation. "I believe she was coerced into going to El Paso by the attorney and the attorney's girl friend where she was provided transportation and was put up in a hotel in Juarez and it was all paid for by the same attorney." Her family fears that what really happened to Carey has happened to others and that her murder and others like hers will never see the light of day and will never be solved by the corrupt Mexican authorities.Carey's father Mr. Stan McClintock says he feels that his only hope is by American law enforcement investigating the matter. He says the American authorities refuse to investigate because they claim the crime (the killing) was in Mexico, but he says the cops are ignoring the crimes committed on this side of the border. According to Mr. McClintock the El Paso Police Dept. has been informed as to the details leading up to Carey's death. He says he told the El Paso police officers that he believes that attorney hill illegally transported and harbored a known fugitive, yet no investigation is underway. The father also thinks the same attorney had something to do with his daughter's murder. Hills reputation was first tarnished and suffered a black eye in 1993 when he was charged with racketeering. Also indicted were El Paso judges Scott Segall and Enrique H. Pena.In April 1993, a grand jury returned an eight-count superseding indictment, charging Hill and two other defendants with conspiracy to commit racketeering, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1962(d), racketeering, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1962(c), aiding and abetting extortion under color of official right, 18 U.S.C. Secs. 1951 and 2, and aiding and abetting mail fraud. 18 U.S.C. Secs. 1341 and 2. All three men were acquitted after a month-long jury trial in 1995. Hill, 64,is not returning phone calls and is referring all questions about the matters to his attorney Richard Esper, who rebutted the claims made by Jorge Pedroza, the driver of the other vehicle in the accident. Esper said that Hill was frustrated by the accident and argued with Pedroza but that he never threatened anyone and did not have a gun during the incident.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores is hailing Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.) for her leadership on behalf of pharmacy patient care, in particular medication therapy management (MTM).
Retail News Breaks Archives
ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores is hailing Sen. Kay Hagan (D., N.C.) for her leadership on behalf of pharmacy patient care, in particular medication therapy management (MTM).
NACDS said Monday that Hagan and seven other senators have sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urging bipartisan support of enhanced MTM coverage for seniors.
The letter called for the inclusion of language in any year-end legislation that would enable seniors with chronic diseases to benefit from MTM services if the intervention could yield a cost savings to Medicare.
"As the sponsor of the Medication Therapy Management Empowerment Act, NACDS thanks Sen. Hagan for her continued leadership and commitment to community pharmacy and patient care," Steve Anderson, president and chief executive officer of NACDS, said in a statement. "Community pharmacies can provide MTM services to help patients manage their health, especially for those who suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma or other conditions."
Under Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits, seniors must have "multiple chronic conditions" and be prescribed "multiple medications" before they are eligible for MTM services, according to NACDS.
"Only one-quarter of seniors currently has access to MTM, while many more can benefit from the service," Hagan and the senators noted in the letter. "Research shows that only 50% of patients properly adhere to their prescription drug therapy regimens, and poor adherence costs the nation approximately $290 billion a year, nearly 13% of total health expenditures."
MTM involves a pharmacist or other health care professional working with a patient to review and track their medication regimen to optimize its effectiveness while avoiding problems that could increase medical expenses. NACDS noted that in the North Carolina ChecKmeds program, for example, MTM helped 31,000 seniors maximize their drug therapy for a savings of $34 million, a return on investment of almost 14-1.
"We believe the best way to make sure Americans use medications effectively is through professional services offered by pharmacists and other qualified health care providers, including medication therapy management (MTM)," the senators' letter stated. "Evidence shows that MTM improves outcomes and reduces unnecessary medical costs."
Signing the letter along with Hagan were Sens. Daniel Akaka (D., Hawaii), Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio), Al Franken (D., Minn.), Tim Johnson (D., S.D.), Barbara Mikulski (D., Md.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) and Thad Cochran (R., Miss.).

"This is only 8 bucks?"
I bought these a few years ago on the advice of a friend who told me for the money this is the best cigar in the world and I took his advice and I will tell you I have never been disappointed by this cigar ever it is always impeccably rolled with a nice oily skin on it and usually takes a good hour and a half to two hours to smoke unbelievable really
Mike in Oregon April 9, 2014
Simply an Awesome Cigar.
Jim in Laguna Hills, CA September 15, 2012
"pretty nice"
Started off with a strong earthy tobacco. Melted into a nice nutty flavor with hints of sweet cream. Then it slid into a slightly sweet sugar and back to the Earthy Tobacco. I am getting towards the end and am Pleased with this cigar. I still prefer the O serie to this but its definitely worth buying. The smell it gives off is quite lovely. I will definitely buy some more of these in the future. Only real downside was the line at the beginning. It wavered quite a bit. After a little caressing with my vector it straightened out and staid pretty straight. The draw is a little tight but it helps the cigar last longer. Definitely in the 90s out of 100
Ian in Columbus, Ohio April 24, 2012
"Well Made"
One of the best made cigars that I have ever smoked. The taste and flavor was simple, straight tobacco until the final 1/2". Then the spices kicked in. A good cigar but I was expecting more flavor.
Chris in Oregon January 31, 2012
"Great flavor, long lasting burn, great cigar"
Unfortunately for my pocketbook, my taste has grafitated towards better cigars and this is certainly one. I started with the sampler and now must have them by the box. I always unwrap and put my cigars in the humidor for a period of time to assure they are conditioned just right before smoking. If more people would do this, I find it difficult to believe anyone could rate this cigar poorly. I have on more than one ocassion smoked one of the baby's for more than one and a half hours, drawing slow and easy and savoring all the flavor.
Gary A. in New Jersey December 4, 2011
"Amazing smoke buy one now!!"
Great consistent cigar, strong flavor, and clean burn. Overall one of my favorites
Shawn in September 2, 2011
"Potent to Perfect"
Being a true novist, I'm working thru different smokes, just to find that "One". That first quarter had me thinking I bit off a little more than I could handle. Big spice kick on the back of my pallet. Just as I was ready to throw in the towel. I smoothed out to near perfection. I'm gonna need a bigger humidor. And right next to the Oliva G....will be the Oliva V. Very nice finish.
Bryan in Baton Rouge April 6, 2010
"Almost perfect!!!"
The Oliva Serie V Torpedo is almost as good as it gets towards perfection! I purchased a box last year based upon all the ratings hype and so when I when I lit up my first one I was ready for disappointment (as many of the Cigar Aficianado's highly rated digars have not panned out for me in the past). It never came. These beauties are excellent in every possible pleasurable smoking manner. I would stack these with the top Cuban cigars (I often travel to Europe), but at a fraction of the price and legally available in the US. You will be exceptionaaly happy with this purchase without any reservations. A 10/10, all around smoke!
Joe in NJ January 9, 2010
"just do it!"
Do yourself a favor and buy one smoke it enter the gates of heaven and then pass on the experience to someone else. I truly believe if every one in the world had one we would have a utopia. It is almost perfect on all accounts.
Jordan in saint marys November 1, 2009
"Flavorful, Subtle, Complex, Quality !"
Very much enjoyed my first Oliva Serie V. Must get some more. An excellent, complex cigar. You notice subtle oak/leather flavors mixed with the coffee/cocoa variety, but this fine 'full' cigar blends these powerful flavors with rich smoothness. That's the difference between a very fine cigar such as this, and a very good 'full' cigar, such as a Punch Grand Cru, R&J Madura, or Gurka Warrior. The Serie V is one of the better cigars I've had.

Mars Pathfinder would carry a lander and (for the first time) a rover to the Red Planet. The entire cost of the program would be $265 million to build, test, and operate the lander & rover, and also pay for the Delta 2 launch vehicle. This was less than 1/10 the cost of the previous Viking program of the 1970s.
The lander would carry a stereoscopic digital camera, named the IMP or Imager for Mars Pathfinder, which had a much greater resolution than the TV cameras Viking had. It would also carry a complete meteorology package which could measure the temperature, pressure, and wind at different heights above the surface.
The rover, named "Sojourner" after the Civil War-era abolitionist Sojourner Truth, was the size of a microwave oven, and carried an Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer which could analyse the elemental compostion of rocks & soil at the landing site. It was controlled remotely by an earth-based operator (with a 10 minute time delay), but the rover also had some autonomous control, and could negotiate obstacles with a set of laser pointers and some insect-like artificial intelligence.
The Mission
Pathfinder was launched on December 4, 1996 and cruised for 7 months through space. When it reached Mars, it entered
the Martian atmosphere. During the 4˝ minute Entry, Descent, and Landing sequence, a heatshield protected the lander
from a fiery descent, 41 explosive bolts fired in the correct sequence, a 24-ft diameter parachute deployed
on time, a radar found the ground and told the other systems just when to execute, a long cable deployed and
the lander rappelled down it to be protected from rocket firings, all of the airbags inflated exactly 8 seconds
before landing, a rocket fired and cut the cable, and the lander survive a hard impact with the ground. It bounced several
times and landed perfectly on its base panel. After it rolled to a stop, the airbags retracted and the petals opened to
witness the Martian sunrise.
The lander had been radioing back to Earth its progress, and the engineers at JPL were jumping up and down and hugging each other. CNN broadcast it to the world. America was on Mars again, after 21 years.
After the cheering at JPL subsided, the serious work of deploying the rover began. The airbags had not totally deflated, and were partially covering both ramps the rover could use to drive off the lander. A decision was made to raise the lander's petal, retract the airbags some more, and see if the ramps were cleared. It worked, and on Sol 2 (a Sol is a Martian day, 24 hours and 45 minutes) of the mission, the rover Sojourner had a "Neil Armstrong moment" as it rolled off the lander and left tire tracks on Mars, the first time a rover had done so.
Pathfinder's camera sent back wonderful pictures of the Martian surface. The mission engineers and managers continued the Viking custom of naming the rocks seen in the panoramas, and soon a series of familar cartoon character names such as "Yogi", "Ren", "Scooby Doo", and "Mermaid" came forth. The rover drove in a circle around the lander, taking rock and soil measurments with its APXS instrument. Other than a few communication glitches, everything performed flawlessly and NASA told mission managers that Pathfinder was an "100% success".
The rover was designed to last for a week, and the lander for a month. In fact, both of them lasted over three months, out to Sol 83. The lander finally died on September 27 when it's battery power was expended. The rover was still working at the time. In the event of a communication failure, it was designed to circle the lander, trying to reestablish communications. If we ever get to go back to the landing site, we may see that the rover continued to drive around the lander, like an orphan whose parents have just collapsed.
Pathfinder's Legacy
Pathfinder sent back 2.6 billion bits of data, including 16,000 lander images and 550 rover images.
The rover performed 20 chemical analyses of rocks and soil. Pathfinder discovered "dust devils" which travel
along the surface, kicking up dust into the air. The mission also took a picture of the red sky with blue clouds,
and a Martian sunset. Pathfinder bolstered the evidence that Mars was once a warmer, wetter planet, and therefore
the possibility that life existed, and may still exist, remains feasible. Scientists will be studying the data
from Pathfinder for many years to come.
Pathfinder has certainly left a mark on NASA, and the space agency has dedicated itself anew to Mars exploration. JPL's Mars Exploration Program was founded after Pathfinder's landing, and will be sending missions to Mars during every Earth-Mars opportunity (which occur once every 22 months). The failed Mars Polar Lander and Mars Climate Orbiter were intended to be the follow-up missions, but with the successes of the Mars Exploration Rovers, we are now back on track with the surface exploration of the Red Planet!
Shortly after landing, JPL renamed the lander the Sagan Memorial Station after noted astronomer and former Viking project manager Carl Sagan, who died in December 1996 before seeing Pathfinder's images from Mars.

Surprises and horses as mewithoutYou, Rocky Votolato and Auctioneer wrap up tour at The Depot (photos, review)
It was the last night of tour, so surprises naturally came out of the woodwork when mewithoutYou headlined The Depot in York on Saturday – everything from unexpected collaborations to a singer rocking out in a horse's mask. But we'll get to that.
Opening the show was Philly art-rock four piece Auctioneer, who recently starred in an episode of the Shaking Through series and has been along for the ride since tour kicked off in June. The last time we caught them (at Nikki Volpicelli's Tuesday Tune-Out this spring), the set was heavy on the visuals – a black and white 70s experimental film, a live mix of psychedelic footage shot in present day Philly – so the notion of Auctioneer unadorned was a little uncertain. Thankfully they more than delivered, showing how songwriter Craig Hendrix's avant pop compositions don't need to rely on trippy visuals to grip your attention. Their producer Todd Scheid was only a car-ride away, so he joined the band on gon bops caxixi, a bell-shaped percussion instrument of woven wicker, during "Our Future Faces" (the title track to Auctioneer's new LP). As the set wrapped to a close, mewithoutYou's Greg Jehenian and Brandon Beaver also rushed the stage to play tambourines and sing backing vocals.
Seattle songwriter Rocky Votolato followed, delivering a hushed set of acoustic folk in the vein of Elliott Smith and Red House Painters – forlorn, but undeniably poppy, and downright singalongable at moments, particularly the fan-requested "Om Ma" from a split 7″ Votolato released with Matt Pond in 2011.
On the second leg of a tour in support of their 2012 record Ten Stories, mewithoutYou were tight and hard-hitting. They took the stage shortly after 10, kicking off their set with the roaring scene-setter "February 1878." Continue reading →

Hi Rukmani, I feel PSNR and MSE metrics are good for general quality assessed by the human eye. However a computer will feel different. If you need to detect or segment an object or classify the image PSNR tells you nothing. If say blurring artifacts or edge artifacts are introduced you are hosed. I suggest you evaluate what the end user will be doing with the imagery and apply an appropriate evaluation such as classification rate, etc. However for applications such as medical diagnosis the end user is using their vision and PSNR can be sufficient unless the doctor is using edges or other features as clues. Then you may want to compare edge maps or texture features and compare the values pre/post compression. Good Luck, Mark > > > > >hi, > >I am a bit confused regarding the use of PSNR...

I just got back from a pleasant trip to Springfield with my friend. It did me a lot of good to get out with a friend. I can't keep shutting myself in my cave/room all weekend.
The weird thing is that my friend's dad has a crush on my mom. So if my mom and her dad got married, we would be stepsisters. An awesome possibility, yet slightly creepy and awkward.
Here's a random piece of advise: NEVER fall in love with your best friend. The I've-fallen-for-my-closest-friend-and-now-she's-ignoring-me saga continues. New information has come to me. I've been told that Amber, Best Friend Whom I Am In Love With, is ignoring me because she doesn't want to hurt me. So basically, she's being rude to be nice, if that makes any sense. This is something that will definitely pass, and I'm confident that we will stay close. It just sucks because she's hurting me by trying to avoid hurting me, you know?
While we're on this whole topic, I need some advice. I finally managed to nab Amber's number from the friend I was in Springfield with, and now I don't know what to do. I've considered texting her and asking her about what's been going on, but I don't want to piss her off. Amber's tricky. If I text her, she might lash out at me. But if I don't, I might never know why she feels like avoiding me will somehow save me from being hurt. Hmm. What a dilemma. I'm thinking I should just leave her alone and not push her, but I'm dying to text her. Bleh. Can nothing be simple?
Haha, all my friends say the way I act when I'm in love is adorable.
Here's a thought-provoking question for you: Why do we hold on to the things that hurt us?
That's a question that's been on my mind all day.
NEVER fall in love with your best friend.
If we could actually choose who we fell in love with that would be right up there with the commandments and whatnot.
Why do we hold on to the things that hurt us?
Maybe it's because it's all we've ever known and we would probably be very, very confused and maybe even slightly restless once all the angst from that particular situation/person/whatever has gone from our life. Well, no. Because we are utterly incapable of letting go? I'll get back to you on that one.
I'm almost in exactly the same boat as you btw, with the best friend thing. A relationship just changes once someone has unreciprocated feelings. Why? Not sure. But no matter how much someone reassures the crushing party that everything is okay (which is not the case here, it seems) something's changed- the balance of the relationship is like
to the Best Friend Dillema:
falling in love with your best friend is probably the biggest gay rite of passage (aside from coming out, that is).
it's inevitable. you're both close, and you mean a lot to eachother - and the fact that they're the same gender as you (usually) makes it the perfect combination. it's comfortable, y'know? their love, even if it is completely platonic, is there. and you know it. you aren't in the situation where its a complete stranger and you're just getting to know eachother as partners. you're with someone that you've known for a while, and that someone obviously cares about you. sometimes their affection gets misconstrued as attraction, and that's where the lines blur.
speaking from experience: it sucks. like, a shit ton. and there's no better way to describe it. and i went with the whole "talk to her, see how she feels about everything" route and i still got the cold shoulder. she did the same thing to me that Amber's doing to you. it took us a while to get the relationship back to the way it was before. i can't exactly tell you whether texting her or not texting her is better cuz it's up to you - it's a completely different situation, although it is reeeeaaaallly similar. but talking to her, and making everything clear, is probably going to help.
& i definitely agree with Loreonpravus about the Holding On To Things bit. it kind of goes along w/ what i was saying about crushing on your bff being comfortable.
change is something that terrifies people.
hope that helps (:
Why, yes. It does help. Thank you dear.
Okay, I think my post got cut off at the bottom... but I don't remember what I wrote. Dammit.
Oh no! It could've been something extremely intelligent and deep!

I never used to iron, but I've started doing it this year. It's actually become one of my favourite chores because I can do it in front of the telly!
I do not iron. Ever, ever, ever. If something just HAS to have some wrinkles out, I'll hang it in the bathroom while I shower or take a hot bubble bath and let the steam do all the work.
Grats on the weight loss. It is amazing how happy you are to have wrinkled clothes if they are a few sizes smaller. Plus, weight loss = more shopping because if nothing fits it is frowned upon to run around nakey!
wow you look soo sooo good in this outfit! i'm a fan!
Don't iron, don't cook!
I've been feeling a bit bleugh about my weight/body recently so had to read back my post about body confidence (http://pinkhairedprincess.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/you-are-what-you-are-beautiful.html) to knock some sense into myself. I seem to go through periods when I'm ok with everything then times when it's harder, so keeping posting daily outfits can be tough when you're not feeling happy with yourself.
It can be hard to find motivation to dress up nice when you feel icky, I'm pretty good with body confidence, but my arms are still an area I'm learning to love.
Ohhh, who does the cooking!? It's nice not to have to cook, but once my kitchen is finished i'll be back to cooking for myself most of the time.
Thank you!
I do the same with the shower/bath. My mum actually bought a steamer recently, so I think if I ever need to iron something I'll borrow that.
Ahaha, yes, you can, I find my head thinks too much when I iron, which doesn't do very good.

The American Red Cross Chapter serving Winona, Wabasha, and Goodhue counties has had to reach deep and reach out to make sure clients of all ages, locations, and needs were supported during some very tough times.
Marie Barrientos, Executive Director of the local chapter said, We rely on our volunteers, donors, and partners to walk alongside us in our mission as we serve the emergency needs of our community. We truly are neighbors helping neighbors, and 2012 was a perfect example.
In 2012, the local chapters disaster program responded to 33 fires (17 Goodhue, 14 Winona, 2 Wabasha) assisting a total of 117 clients. Services vary depending on specific needs but mainly include: shelter, food, clothing, seasonal gear, and eyeglass/medication replacement. Along with that they set up multiple canteens to support emergency responders at the scene of disasters, including a nine day canteen at the river when a search began for a missing boater who had drowned. Disaster numbers are not the only numbers that are climbing, the amount of Service to the Armed Forces emergency communication cases in the area have also increased as more local families know they can turn to Red Cross for help when time is of the essence and they have stationed and deployed loved ones they need to contact.
Recently the chapter turned their attention to neighbors in need by deploying 10 local volunteers to the east coast to assist in feeding, sheltering, mental health, nursing, logistics, and client casework for those devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Each trained in their field and ready to serve, they have come back with humbling stories of loss, triumph, frustration, and gratefulness. We were sitting around the table listening to the stories and I was just amazed at what they go through to help others. One of our new volunteers came back and told me he would be honored to go again. I am just humbled by the compassion I get to work with, said Dianne Thompson, Emergency Services Coordinator. Deployments have ranged from 2 to 6 weeks and have been in New York or New Jersey. Currently the chapter has one volunteer stationed in New York in public relations and another volunteer is set to deploy for his second trip and will be assisting in long-term recovery planning.
Regardless of size, disasters are devastating to all involved. We are committed and dedicated to working with affected families not only to get them through the first few days, but help them make a plan. Disasters dont have timelines, dont have maps, and cant be predicted. We depend on the generosity of local community members to carry out our mission and thank them for their continued support. Every dollar makes a difference when you are standing with a client who has lost everything said Barrientos.
The Red Cross depends on financial donations to help in times of disaster. Those who want to help people affected by disasters like tornadoes, floods and wildfires, as well as countless crises at home and around the world, can make a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief. This gift enables the Red Cross to prepare for and provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance in response to disasters. Contributions may also be sent to the local American Red Cross at 1660 Kraemer Drive, Winona, MN 55987 or call 507-452-4258.

VIII Strada, 101 – c/o Area di sosta
La gravità della crisi economica che stiamo vivendo ci sta costringendo alla rinuncia, e più passa il tempo e peggiori sono le conseguenze a cui dobbiamo far fronte.
Per questo l'Associazione Forza d'Urto intende promuovere un incontro / dibattito con tutti i settori produttivi, le categorie, i professionisti, gli studenti, i pensionati, e con quanti desiderano partecipare ad un confronto.
Un incontro per verificare atti e proposte che possano impedire il collasso delle Nostre attività; affinché l'eredità dei Nostri Padri ed i sacrifici di una vita non diventino la rovina dei nostri figli, ma possano rimanere una possibilità per il futuro.
La situazione è critica e stare con le mani in mano non serve a nulla, perché così, ogni giorno che passa è una sconfitta.
Al FUTURO
Dobbiamo crederci, dobbiamo pretenderlo, ma soprattutto dobbiamo volerlo

Ruskin had a profound sense of social duty and was a fierce opponent of selfishness and injustice. He believed that an ideal social order involved fair wages, help for the sick or poor, free education for all, and much else that has become familiar today. He observed that aggressive materialism corrupted the natural, social motivations of labour, impoverishing everyone - even the most avaricious. Ruskin tried many experiments in ways to aid people's lives, with projects from road-building to co-operative retail. Whilst individual projects failed, many of his prescriptions have come to pass.

This cyber stalker now spends serious amounts of time on my blog here. As of this writing he has visited the site 97 times and 260 page views. He lives in France and how many people from that location he lives in would visit my blog. Additionally since he is an idiot I have search traffic from that location and one in Thousand Oaks. All the same terms. How do I know its him? Well unless the person in Thousand Oaks uses the same Safari Browser version and same Mac operating system that is a year old. And lastly the exact same search terms. Then it is him. This accounts for another 65 page views and 20 visits. He is obsessed with my family and how I live. It is truly pathetic.

Benefits for Vendors & Suppliers
Vendors and suppliers are the cornerstones of the handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry. Without our industry's vendors and suppliers, soap and cosmetic handcrafters would have a very hard time finding the supplies and materials they need to make and market handcrafted soap and cosmetics. Without soap and cosmetic makers profitably making soap and cosmetics, the businesses of vendors and suppliers would dramatically change.
The HSCG works for vendors and suppliers in two ways - first by supporting and protecting the handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry as a whole through education, legislative advocacy, insurance and more; and second, by providing direct member benefits to vendors and suppliers that are geared toward helping them gain exposure to soap and cosmetic makers.
A Vendor Membership is the in the name of the business and has an individual person connected to the membership as the owner. In addition, a "contact person" can be designated by the owner. If assigned, the contact person gets email and enews updates from HSCG instead of the owner. Both the owner and the contact person have unique log-ins to the HSCG Member Area.
In order to better serve the diverse needs of the vendors and suppliers in the handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry, Vendor memberships are available in three tiers, each with different direct membership benefits and annual dues. This way the business can select the membership tier which is best suited to their business model.
