The Da Vinci Index & Biomimicry
"Leonardo forms the image of a plant in shapes that emphasize its pattern of growth, implying that the source of change is within matter and not transcendent of it. Leonardo expresses its [Nature's] cosmic operations through its particulars, deriving his understanding of
the larger movements from observation of the smaller...."
-Mary D. Gerard
The Da Vinci 2.0 is the 2014 version of the original Da Vinci Index, which was launched in 2011. This comprehensive database uses advanced methodology and information to measure activity in the field of Bioinspiration, Biomicry, and Biomimetics, which takes solutions found or inspired by nature to potential commercial application. 2.0 monitors four areas of data – number of scholarly articles, number of patents, number of grants, and dollar value of grants, and exists to increase awareness of how Bioinspiration serves as a bridge between environmental and business interests.
Da Vinci Index 2.0 Hits Record High in 2013
Although quarterly figures are subject to substantial volatility, the first
quarter of 2014 is off to a slower start.
Some of the highlights of recent movements in the Index include:
- After the record high Da Vinci Index 2.0 figure of 694.2 (2000=100) for the year of 2013, the first quarter of 2014 showed an index figure of 520.3. Almost all contributing inputs to the Index showed a slight decrease for the first quarter, but the largest decrease by far involved the dollars spent on federal grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Science Foundation (NSF).
- The Index is compiled based on the number of patents issued in the U.S., scholarly articles published globally, the number of grants issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the value of those grants for any given period.
- The fourth quarter of 2013 saw an unusually large spike in both patents and scholarly articles. This was corrected in the first quarter of 2014 which is reflected in the fall in the aggregate current index figure.
- Last year witnessed a significant rise in scholarly articles published. Scholarly articles throughout the world expanded from 2,004 in 2012 to 2,560 in 2013, a jump of 28%. This compared to the 303 articles published in 2000 shows an increase of over eight-fold.
- Patent issuance was also high in the field last year with a gain of 27%.
- Grants continue to face challenges as federal funding is under pressure with ongoing U.S. deficit issues.
The continued growth through 2013 for Da Vinci Index 2.0 underscores the potential for Bio-inspiration to provide businesses throughout the world more efficient and sustainable solutions to enable the achievement of both growth and environmental goals. While the first quarter of 2014 is not off to a good start, the decrease may reflect a correction from the surge in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Nevertheless, as documented in the FBEI recent report, Bioinspiration: An Economic Progress Report (FBEI, November 2013), progress in the field has faced some stumbling blocks. This places even more importance on monitoring progress going forward in the potentially game-changing field of Bioinspiration.

Use Edo elections as standard for future polls, LP tells INEC | ||||||
The Labour Party wants the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to use the Edo State governorship election as a standard for future polls. The call is contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the Party's National Executive Committee meeting in Abuja. The communiqué presented by the National Vice President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Isa Aremu says the Labour Party acknowledges the commitment of INEC towards a free and fair election in the State. The National Chairman of the Party, Dan Nwanyanwu said the National Executive Committee meeting offered members the opportunity to discuss issues of common interest. In his remark, the Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko said the people of the State were ready for the forthcoming governorship election. |

If your relationship is on the rocks, the problem could be a lack of communication, or incompatible personality differences, or deep-seated trust issues. Or maybe it's just your stupid pajamas.
According to a new study of more than 1,000 people in England, sleeping naked together is more likely to make you happier with your romantic partner. That may sound like it comes from the Department Of No Sh*t, Sherlock, but nude slumber leads to a 57% happiness rate, versus 38% to 48% for those who prefer various kinds of sleepwear.
(Unsurprisingly, "onesies" are considered the least sexy item of clothing.)
This would imply that Americans have more romantic troubles than the British, since only 8% of us sleep in the buff. Then again, correlation doesn't mean causation. If a couple is passing out after all-night sex marathons, of course they'll be happier than a sexless couple who merely removes their clothes and silently resents each other.
Still, there is some actual science behind the theory. Dr. Natasha Turner writes that pajamas keep your body too warm, which can mess up your sleep patterns and "disrupt the release of your main anti-aging hormones," "increase appetite…lower your libido, and [increase] cravings for sugar and carbs."
Just remember: Naked means completely naked, because 23% of respondents hate it when their partners wear socks to bed. Although we might have to defer to Emily Ratajkowski on that one.

Using available data on the distribution of HIV/AIDS prevalence across population groups for four sub-Saharan African countries and transposing this information to household income and expenditure surveys, we simulate the impact of HIV/AIDS on poverty and inequality. We find that the epidemic lowers average income and increases poverty, and that the jump in poverty is larger than expected from the fall in average income. This disproportionate increase in poverty reflects the large share of the population living on the threshold of poverty and the higher HIV prevalence rates in those segments of the population.

I have been running off and on for a while and over a period of time I decided to take running a little more seriously than I did earlier.
So, yesterday, I decided to get myself ready for the upcoming TCK 10K on 17 May 2015.
My last reading has been You are an Ironman, by Jacques Steinberg. It is a collection of stories of 6 running from around the world who started running for a small change and to get back in shape, and over the course of time, as fate would have it, have been introduced to Ironman and then began training for the mega-event. The stories will definitely pump up your blood.
Since reading the book, I slowly started to bring running into my schedule. Last week, went for a nutritionist appointment and chalked out a nutrition plan. Yesterday, after my morning run for about 3.66 KM, went and signed up for an on-line Training plan for 10K. Training begins from tomorrow (today being the rest day).
BTW, did I mention? I have been a smoker for last 15 Years and now, I decided to kick the butt (I tried few times earlier when i failed and am not willing to give up any soon). In this process, I wish to let the habit go too.
This blog is dedicated to people like me who wish to follow their passion.
I tried few running apps available for the iOS Platform and analysed each of them to analyse which makes running more easier and fun.
Cost: Free
Just made for running, either on the Road, Trial or Tread Mill. Keeps it very simple to track the map of your run track and Preselecting the music Playlist. When you open the App and choose to Run, it stars playing your Playlist.
With the 'Coach', you can train for 5K, 10K, 21.1 and 42.2 Distances. I tried the 5K and it has been very useful.
You can add friends and the app will consistently show you the analysis of how you and your friends are doing on a weekly and monthly basis.
Cost: 1 Year – Rs.2,500 or Monthly fee of Rs.620
The basic app is free, however, if you want to have more insights into your activities, you will need to get a paid subscription.
RunKeeper tracks more activities than any other app – Running, Cycling, Mountain Biking, Walking, Hiking, Downhill Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Snowboarding, Skating, Swimming, Wheelchair, Rowing, Nordic Walking.
I tried the basic version and for the Running, it does a pretty neat job in providing analysis. It provides you with the Start Time, End Time, Pace, Calories. Also, gives you the ability to see your activity in Charts and also run splits (if you wish to see how you have done at certain milestones)
Cost: Rs.300
The basic app is free for tracking your running. You also get Training plan for Weight loss, Beginner, 10K Run, Half Marathon, Marathon and Bikini Body Prep with the basic app.
In the paid version, the app provides you with information on Heart Rate and Elevations. Also there is "Story Running" in the paid version.
Basic App: Free
Rs.250 / Monthly or Rs.1,850 Annually
Provides you with information on Distance, Duration, Average Speed, Maximum Speed, Calories, Hydration, Minimum Altitude, Max Altitude, Ascent and Decent.
In the Paid version, you get beautiful graphical analysis of your run.
Endomondo can give you various Fitness Tests, Challenges and help you keep pace with your friends.
Cost: Rs.300
A completely paid app with a very different story line. I have not used it, but here is a very good link with the review of Zombies, Run.
LifeHacker identified MapMyRun, RunKeeper, Nike+, Endomondo and Zombies, Run as the best running apps based on a poll.
Based on the easiness to use, if you do not want to buy, Nike+ is the best. This app exactly does what you need, just for running.
But, if you are willing to try a paid version, go for the Endomondo.
I am trying to compile a list of HealthCare Startup's in India, mostly Technology startup's focusing on building products/services for India and Emerging Markets like India.
Here is a list which I could put together. Please share with me if I have missed any names:
In his book Free, Chris Anderson begins saying that he is using a web book (costing at least 60% cheaper than a traditional laptop), storing his writings on Google servers (which is free), sitting in a Starbucks using their free wi-fi and not to undermine the air conditioning and luxurious sofa, where his only expense is the coffee. But, the book still costs us $20. Why?
When we have so many new ways of working smart, how many do we actually use? There are million publications on the best apps and software to use and there are user ratings which are public and help you decide what to use.
This is an account of my personal exploration of using technology to work smart.
Try Evernote, a simple yet powerful tool where you can store almost everything and related to your notes, including Hand written notes, attachments and files.
Why? Because you never know when you get the best idea or a plan to work on. Keeping your thoughts synchronised plays a vital role in us becoming smarter.
Presentations are the reflections of our creativity. We try to get creative with the available tools. What if there is something which will help us be more creative? Prezi is the answer. If you have seen a Prezi presentation earlier, you have got it. It is such an amazing and simple tool which can help us get more creative. Conveying our idea on a illustration would reach people 80% faster (my estimate and experience) than bulleted points.
Prezi is for Presentation, what Xerox is for Photo Copy.
Ever wondered what makes the 9 wonders of the world really a wonder? Because they are a treat to the eyes. When you see a Taj Mahal, your mind is thinking of what would have the architect been thinking when he designed it.
The same applies to your writing. When you hand over a document to someone, the writing should immediately take the reader into a different world (let it be a sales projection or Balance Sheet).
Your creativity in writing is 80%, but the tools you use will add the remaining 20%. Even though Keynote quite does not do as much as Word, the simplicity by which you can create your documents is what keeps me with Keynote. The font typeface's make huge difference and help you engrave beauty into your writing.
Disclaimer: I do not get paid from anyone for this article. After exploring quite a few tools, I have stuck to the above list.
As 2014 Dawn's, it is quite natural for us to ponder on what are the trends coming up.
Here are the Top 5 trends in Technology which I accrued.
5. Mobile
Mobile is one device which is more personal than anything for each one of us. It would be interesting to watch out for the emerging trends in the space, however, as various other technologies become part of our lives, we need to see what other innovations on mobile would change the way we use it.
4. Bid Data
In the last 20 years of technological evolutions, as more and more people started accepting one or the other form of technology into their lives, we have data. Enough data to spot the minuscule aspects of our lives. As more and more data is shared between various stakeholders, Big Data plays a very crucial role in defining our lives of the future.
When was the last time you frantically switched channels on the TV trying to find something what you "wished" to watch rather than just watching what you are shown? Am sure it is not long ago. TV is the next big technology influence in our lives. TV is becoming personal like the mobile devices. Private telecasts, Personal channels streaming "passion" programs are beginning to evolve. In the near future, you will be able to create your own channel and air your own programs.
2. Startup's, Startup's and more Startup's
Small Businesses or Startup's as they are more savvily called, are the backbone of the growing/emerging economies. The rate at which these small enterprises contribute to the economy is changing every day. According to an advertisement by IBM, small businesses account to 99% of all the enterprises and two-thirds of employment.
1. Social Media
Building your brand (personal/business) is going to be very big in 2014. We have been seeing this trend picking up on Facebook in the later part of 2013 and you will see this gaining momentum in 2014.
My sources of information include Bloomberg, Forges, HBR Blogs, Newspapers and various readings on the Net.
Today, for the first time, had an opportunity to see the KC Chief's in action live at an almost packed stadium playing the Indianapolis Colts. It was electrifying. The open stadium is filled with Red (the official colour of KC Chiefs) beating odds of a mild snowfall too. I loved the passion in each of the supporters. I cannot really compare to the crowds of a Cricket Match in India, but still, the passion was electrifying and i was so very impressed. I did learn few things from today's game.
KC Chief's has had a very good track this season, winning 11 Games out of the 16 games they played. The KC Arrowhead Stadium recorded to be the loudest stadium in the world on 13 October 2013 recording a sound level of 137.5 dB and I was looking to hear it. Unfortunately, the Chief's did not fare well today and hence it was not that loud.
Now, what did I learn by being there?
The Passion
We see passion every day in many ways, but the way each of the audience were passionate about their game was electrifying. For all the 60 minutes, each one was so engrossed in the game that they did not even bother the chilly weather around them.
Learning – No matter what the situation is, be passionate of what you do. Results will definitely follow.
When my friend Jeff, who was kind enough to invite me told me that he would pick me at 8:30 AM in the morning, I thought the game begins earlier only to understand they they get together, set up tent's, cook, have a beer and then head to the game which starts at noon. It has been snowing for the last 24 hours (mild showers though), but even then, I saw families (adults and kids) by the time we reached there around 9 AM who have set up tents, heaters and grills to cook and have fun. Trust me, I would have given it a pass, but thanks to the opportunity, I wanted to see it. I heard these stories earlier, but experiencing in person is so different.
Learning – When you have a passion, you beat the odds. Have passion in you always so that it takes you places and gives you the confidence that you can do what other's can't. When I reached there and saw the parking lot, all my laziness was gone and I was part of the crowd.
Beating the odds
I said it earlier, the whole aspect of living is to beat the odds. Defying the weather, taking time out on a Sunday to be at the Stadium to cheer their home team was so awesome. I knew America took pride in their game's and teams, but this is completely different for me.
In the first Quarter, Chief's made 7 and as usual, the energy was filled in the whole stadium. However, they could not get pass that mark in remaining quarters. No one in the crowd even thought of leaving till the last minute of the game just waiting to watch if things could turn around.
Learning – This is persistence for me. Wait till the end to ensure you support your passion and don't bother of the result.
When the World is against you
I put myself in the opponent's place for a moment. The stadium is packed with Red Colour, it is not their home ground, the first Quarter was bad with no point on the scoreboard. Technically, I could not hear any one voice supporting them, however, they played their best and went on to take over the game.
Learning – When you are following your passion to win, the whole world is not with you. Even then, standing there believing in yourself takes you places.
KC Chief's play the Chargers on the 29 December in San Diego. I wish nothing but the best for them. KC Chief's have not won a Super Bowl since 1969 and I really hope and wish this Christmas, they realise the dream and go on to with the World Championship title.
Go Chief's….
No matter what music does – Motivation / Relaxation / Rejuvenation, it is all in the way you listen to it. Musicians take their lives out to create the best they can to ensure we live our dreams.
The key component of music is the notes, the notes which create the vibrations required to touch your senses and instigate you with the best of your thoughts.
Music does the same to me. Makes me romantic / inspires me and helps stimulate the best of the vibrations in me. I am sure it is the same for most of us.
When i chose to buy my home music player, I chose the speakers which gave the best sound out-put, which means all components of the music should be given equal importance and all notes are to be played they way they were recorded. The amplifier is the key, but what if the amp does its best and speakers don't deliver as expected?
I decided to upgrade and buy a Bluetooth Speaker to get more out of my music. There are good number of options available today, however, as we all have our economical and environmental influences, we tend to reduce or settle for something less just to keep our hearts content.
Considering the ease to carry, size and cost, I shortlisted the Logitech UE Mini Boom and the Bose SoundLink Mini.
The Logitech UE Mini Boom is a very handy, portable and light speaker which can fit in a corner of your bag and come along without adding a lot of weight. It also has a iOS app which can help you with a little configuration and also if you choose to "double" up the Mini's, you can use the app to control the output.
The Mini Boom is Lightweight, comes in various colours and has a Battery life is around 8 Hours (in medium volume).
The output of the music is not to its best. It gives priority to the Bass and hence you feel that you are listening to your music having your ear on the wall/table. It gives you that vibrational effect which might kill the essence to the kind of music you are listening.
The Mini Boom costs $99 and you can double it up without much additions to the output. However, when you double up, the distribution between the two is good.
The second option I considered is the Bose SoundLink Mini. The one word I can use to best describe this piece is Value for your Money. It does what it needs to do – deliver the best music quality in its class. It is not too heavy (heavier than UE Mini Boom though), a little bigger in size, but can definitely get into your backpack.
The bass is good and it differentiates the notes without mixing up the tunes. I listen to Rock, Indian Classical and Carnatic music and for these, the note differentiation makes all the impact. The bose delivers good sound output too.
When you add the SoundLink Mini to your iPad and watch a movie, you can definitely have a better output than your TV. I really enjoyed watching an action packed movie with the speaker.
There is an optional Speaker case which you can buy on Amazon which can organize your bag and speaker components.
In summary, considering where the Bluetooth technology today is, Bose has made the best use to give it's best. Go for it and be Inspired..

Thank you kindly for your response! So would you say that is SVG a descendent of VML? Is there any documentation on w3.org that compares the two? I've been developing a few apps that generate dynamic images using VML and need to know if I should continue in this direction, or drop it and go to SVG? I guess I'm looking for a little bit more technical explanation on the differences? Again, I thank you for your response.

I love when they add heavy echo/reverb fx to hip hop vocals like with Edan, Mr. Lif, and even on The Quakers album.
Can anyone recommend some others like this?

Simultaneous determination of optical constants, thickness, and surface roughness of thin film from spectrophotometric measurements |
Optics Letters, Vol. 38, Issue 1, pp. 40-42 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (319 KB)
A model taking into consideration the refractive index inhomogeneity and surface roughness of a film was proposed for the simultaneous determination of the optical constants, thickness, and surface roughness of a single-layer thin film from spectrophotometric measurements. In the model, the rough surface was treated as an effective absorbing layer. The model was applied to determine simultaneously the parameters of single-layer

Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
That title should say $15.5 million, sorry
The official cap number is 126.3 million, and the Rams start at about $123 million.
But cutting Finnegan, Dahl. and Wells will add another $12.5 million to the $3 million they had.
They'll spend maybe $4 million cap space re-signing Clemens, Williams and maybe Dunbar.
They will need $6.5 million or so for the draft class, maybe a tad more, depending on pick added by trading down.
So before doing any other simple maneuvering not needing player approval to add space, and I don't see much of that available with these contract the star players are under, other than Bradford perhaps, by guaranteeing his 2014 salary, which could add $5 million or so.
So they only look to have $5.5 million to "play with" as far as signing Saffold or any other free agent veteran player.
I'm sure they could find another couple million with some paper contract moves on some guys, just guaranteeing their salary to turn it into pro r ated bonus if they are in the middle of a multi year contract and allnthe guarantee money has been paid.
The smart move may be to blow the whole wad on keeping Saffold, to play guard the next four years or so. They don't have a load of needs screaming for a veteran, though they could use another veteran FS that's better than Giordano.
The Rams haven't had a lot of luck with FA safeties however.
I don't mind them ignoring that free agent circus anyway this year. JUst sit back and look for a bargain or two at veteran minimum.

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
I'm not going to lie, I was hoping the 415.5 was accurate.

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
...I could think spending $$$ on Quinn would be a better investment the Saffold first.
But considering how Clemens played of late, perhaps spend just enough for a one-way ticket to nowhere would be a better investment.
But taking care of Quinn would be a much MUCH better long term investment

How much would we have without giving up Finnegan?
I just think he is too valuable he had an injury plagued season and we some young CBs that can still use some mentoring

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
A lot of guys will be gone & that adds up; a mill here & a few 100K there. Fisher said an interesting thing recently on his show. He said The Rams would be even younger next year.Make of that what you will......

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
If Fisher is being literal, then it doesn't bode well for some combination (if not all) of the 7 gentlemen who will be in their 30's during the 2014 season: Spoon (34), Wells (33), Dahl (33), Giordano (32), Clemens (31), Finnegan (30), Quinn (30.....not Robert, his older brother, Brady).
Here's one that will make us all feel old. Spoon is the "old man" on this roster.....and he was born in 1980. That's right folks, NOBODY on this roster was alive in the 70's! Now, where's my walker?"Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning." --- Hesiod

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
Finnegan says he's been assured that he's got a roster spot next year. This comes from a co-worker who had dinner with him the other night and his cousin happens to be Mrs. Finnegan. Not joking here.

Finnegan's a rotten apple for this discipline starved team.

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
They aren't gonna pay Finnegan what he gets under that old deal, THAT is for sure, no matter what he thinks. His injury complicated things though, as his contract has some stipulations that favor him in such a case.
He could redo a new deal, at a far lower value cap wise, but he'll get cut.
Here is the deal on Finnegan due to being injured now, which could affect the cap savings by cutting him loose.
2014: $6 million base is non-guaranteed; $3 million roster bonus guaranteed for injury only on signing (becomes fully guaranteed five days after the Super Bowl XLVII)Barry Waller

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
I may have mis-read this somewhere, but I believe we have some cap savings on Jake Long as he didn't finish the season on the roster, but was on IR. If I recall the amount was about $4 million of his $8 million salary.
Go Rams!

Re: Rams Could Have $15.5 million in Cap Room
Hmmm, I respect your opinion, but I'm not convinced that's the smart move. I'd rather they draft some stud Guards and use that cap space for secondary or receiving help. A lot depends on whether Wells sticks though. With a smart experienced center, I think rookie guard(s) can work out great. If the center position is transitioning too though... well, then I'll be much more open for a veteran FA Guard (hopefully there will be lots of choices beside Saffold on the market).

As a special treat during my recent holiday I stayed in Paris for 6 days at the sweet little Hotel Taylor. I'd heard about the Merci store in the Marais and was keen to see it for myself. The store is currently shrouded in scaffolding, so I walked straight past it.
What did I find inside? An intoxicating blend of fashion, furniture, homewares, plus 2 cafes. I was so impressed I visited the store twice.
This is what I came home with, a pretty scarf to brighten up my winter wardrobe and a few necklets to thank the special girl pals who joined me in Paris.
Thanks to Holly for featuring my Merci photos at decor8 today.
I'll be back again on Friday with a few more photos from Paris.
Bye for now,

Marie Glaze, chairwoman of the Office of Community Services' Human Rights Commission, knows an era has ended. She began the commission's Jan. 25 meeting by recognizing that.
"This is our first meeting A.P. — after Phil," Glaze said.
Acknowledging the change, the city government has begun to reorganize the Office of Community Services without longtime manager Phil Steinhaus. After leading the Community Services Office for 12 years, Steinhaus left Jan. 17 to become the Columbia Housing Authority's new CEO.
The first step has been the recent conversion of the community services office into a division of the Department of Public Health. The move, proposed by City Manager Bill Watkins, unites two organizations concerned with the well-being of Columbia and Boone County residents.
"There's a great amount of synergy," Watkins said. "If there's an abuse problem, you often have a health problem."
The Health Department incorporated the Community Services Office on Jan. 17. On Jan. 20., the new division moved into the Health Department building, 1005 W. Worley St. The community services manager will now report to Public Health Director Stephanie Browning, who then reports directly to the city manager. Before the merger, the Office of Community Services reported to the assistant city manager.
Browning agrees the move is logical, since both the Health Department and the community services office have the same goals in mind.
"In public health, we are concerned with general well-being," Browning said. "We can't make advances unless we address challenging topics like affordable housing. It's a natural link."
Browning said the move also creates a support system for the four community services employees within the larger public health system.
Nanette Chun-Ming Ward, a human rights investigator and community educator, is the only community services employee with experience before the merger.
"We have available to us a lot of resources to maintain our identity and expand to a larger one within the Department of Health," Ward said.
The timing, however, proved especially difficult for the Human Rights commission, Ward said. The group had just wrapped up its Columbia Values Diversity breakfast and was in the middle of preparing "Let's Talk, Columbia," its annual round of community dialogue Feb. 11-12, the two major citywide events the commission plans.
Still, Ward said she is pleased with the move.
"It feels good to be incorporated into a larger body that feels friendly and tends to peoples' need," she said.
The city received 66 applications for the vacant community services manager position.
Five candidates will be interviewed this week. Browning said she hopes to fill the position within a month.

'We could be looking at a winner': X Factor judges left speechless by Carly Rose Sonenclar, 13
With their designer dresses and feisty critiques, it is normally Britney Spears and Demi Lovato who battle it out for the title of X Factor's biggest diva.
But on Wednesday night, the show's contestants gave them a run for their money and channelled their inner prima donnas.
As the top 12 took on huge hits in Divas Week, it was one of the youngest – and smallest – stars who wowed the judges with her huge voice.
Could be a winner: The judges were left speechless at Carly Rae Sonenclar's performance on Wednesday night's X Factor
Britney, Demi, Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were all rendered speechless as 13-year-old Carly Rose Sonenclar gave a flawless rendition of Celine Dion classic My Heart Will Go On.
Wearing a floor-length dress with a sequinned neckline, the youngster from Westchester County, New York, was pitch perfect during her performance of the Titanic theme song.
And for Carly Rose, who has been performing for her parents since she was a toddler, it seems she could be destined for big things.
Channelling Celine: The teen wannabe performed a powerful rendition of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On
Delighted: The teenager couldn't stop smiling after the judges showered her with plaudits
'It pains me to say this - I don't want to say this - but we could be looking at the winner,' L.A said at the end of her performance.
'You're so good. It doesn't make sense. I don't believe that's your voice. I feel like Celine Dion's here and she's hiding,' Demi told the teenager.
'I don't believe you're a human because you can't do that at 13. Your control on that song and that note at the end was incredible,' Simon said.
I've got chills: A delighted Britney Spears was thrilled at her protege's performance
Britney, who mentors Carly Rose in her teen category, added: 'I have chills all over my body. You're spectacular sweetie.'
Britney, 30, and Demi, 20, both dressed to impress for Divas Week, with Britney sporting a black mini-dress and jewelled hairband and Demi picking out a floral dress with a high ponytail.
Host Khloe Kardashian also dazzled in a metallic dress with a plunging neckline and joked that 'divas week' was in her comfort zone.
'I know all about divas because I grew up with a few of them,' she quipped.
Who's the biggest diva? Khloe Kardashian said she knew a lot about divas after 'growing up with them'
Glittering star: Khloe seemed to be easing into her new presenting role, and was determined to make an impression in her plunging dress
While Carly Rose wowed the judges with her Celine Dion rendition, CeCe Frey from Decatur, Illinois, was less successful.
The 21-year-old, who narrowly avoided elimination last week after finishing in the bottom two, received harsh criticism for her version of Eric Carmen song All By Myself which was famously covered by Celine.
'I like you because you're a trier but the song was called All By Myself and I think you would have been better off singing it on your own with no one else in the room,' Simon said.
Harsh: CeCe Frey received stringent criticism from Simon Cowell for her performance of All By Myself
Causing rifts: CeCe's performance prompted fiery arguments among the judges, with mentor Demi getting defensive
L.A. told CeCe it was an improvement on her last performance, but could not think of anything else positive to say, sparking a war of words with her mentor Demi.
'Hater. Sorry she was better than Vino,' Demi fired back, referring to the record producer's contestant Vino Alan. 'Sorry I'm not sorry,' she added.
But when Britney told CeCe: 'Sorry I just don't get it,' the Camp Rock star was not quite so bold.
Egged on by L.A. to give Britney a piece of her mind, she confessed: 'Nobody talks to the queen like that.'
Diva fight: L.A. Reid, Britney, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell disagreed over CeCe's performance
While the judges engaged in a war of words, things were more harmonious amongst the contestants as romance blossomed backstage between 17-year-old Arin Ray and 16-year-old Normani Hamilton from girl group Fifth Harmony.
Behind-the-scenes footage showed Arin flirting with Normani as they played pool in the contestants' house and admitted they would miss one another if they left the competition.
Arin, from Cincinnati, Ohio, even hinted that he would be dedicating his rendition of Madonna ballad Crazy For You to Normani, telling the cameras: 'I've got a friend that I could be possibly singing that to.'
Not so crazy for you: The judges were unimpressed with Arin Ray's performance of the Madonna song
The white stuff: Girl group Fifth Harmony wowed the judges with their song Hero by Mariah Carey
Chance of a win: The group's mentor Simon Cowell said they would be in with a chance of victory
But while being teased by his brother about the budding relationship, he insisted: 'We're just friends right now.'
Arin, who looked dapper in a suit and open-necked white shirt, failed to impress the judges with his performance, with Demi telling him she found it boring and Simon declaring: 'You taking on that song is like asking a cat to eat a tiger.'
His love interest Normani, however, received more positive feedback after her group sang Hero by Mariah Carey.
More intense: The tension between the judges is intensifying as the competition progresss
'You struggled in the beginning but somewhere in there it turned into a really great performance,' L.A. told the band, who were put together at the boot camp stage of the contest.
The group's mentor Simon added: 'Maybe this isn't a one horse race. Maybe there's a chance that five girls with brilliant voices could win this show.'
The X Factor 'Divas Week' was kicked off by Jennel Garcia, who gave an energetic rendition of John Fogerty song Proud Mary, which was famously covered by Tina Turner.
Just like Tina: Jennel's song Proud Mary by TinaTurner went down well with the judges
Dressed for success: Jennel kicked off Diva's Week with a performance that 'smoked', according to the judges
Wearing a white tasselled top and skintight trousers, the 18-year-old, from Rochester, Massachusetts, appeared confident as she strutted across the stage in front of backing dancers.
Simon told her 'You are back in the game', while Britney claimed 'Tina would be proud.'
L.A. told Jennel she had 'started this thing out with a bang, adding: 'You just returned to the competition. That smoked.'
Proud mentor Demi added: 'Together we really nailed it.'
The pressure was on for country crooner Tate Stevens, from Belton, Missouri, who received the most votes from the American public last week.
Fan favourite: Country crooner Tate Stevens continued to put the pressure on the other contestants with his rendition of Shania Twain's From This Moment
Smoke and mirrors: Tate confessed he had sung his song for his wife to bring emotion into his performance
Top of the charts: Tate was revealed as being the fans' number one favourite on last week's show
But the 37-year-old did not disappoint as he belted out Shania Twain ballad From This Moment.
Tate, who was wearing his trademark cowboy hat, had tears in his eyes as he confessed he had sung the song to his wife Ashlie to help him bring emotion to his performance.
Demi told him he was 'very good' while Britney said: 'Your performance was so heartfelt. I loved it.'
Simon admitted he was reluctant to praise Tate because fellow judge L.A was already 'smug' but eventually confessed: 'The winner of this show's going to get $5 million. I would be happy to write you that cheque.'
A true gem: Diamond White was described as a proper 'diva in a good way' by judge Demi
Golden shine: The teenager put in an energetic performance of Beyonce song Halo
Diamond White, 13, truly got into the spirit of the diva theme and revealed she has an on-stage alter ego after performing Beyonce hit Halo.
Simon branded her a 'future star', while L.A. told the teenager: 'Those are really big shoes to fill and you killed it.'
Demi added: 'You are a total diva in the best way possible. You really give the rest of the competition a run for their money.'
Boy band Emblem3 and 22-year-old Paige Thomas also impressed with their performances as they made a bid to get closer to the competition's $5 million prize.
Fan favourites: Emblem 3 were determined to put in a great performance after learning they had only came sixth in the viewer's vote last week
Heart-throbs: Emblem3 were described as 'superstars' after singing Alicia Keys song No One
Taking centre stage: All the judges were agreed on Emblem3's mass appeal
Emblem3, who sang Alicia Keys song No One, were called 'superstars' by L.A. and seemed to get Britney hot under the collar.
'I totally get why the girls are swooned by you. You're complete heartthrobs,' she said.
Paige, who wore a sparkly ruby dress with oversized shoulder pads, dedicated her rendition of Donna Summer's Last Dance to her late mother, who died in a car crash when she was just six-years-old.
Simon told her it was her best performance so far, while mentor Demi said she had 'nailed it.'
Britney added: 'It was like a disco ball exploded on stage. It was like the best disco throwback ever.'
All that glitters: Demi said Paige Thomas 'nailed' her performance of Donna Summer's Last Dance
Youngster Beatrice Miller, soul singer Vino Alan and hip hop act Lyric145, however, received mixed reactions from the judges.
While Demi praised 13-year-old Beatrice's performance of Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time, Simon claimed it was the wrong song for her.
'She has more talent in her pinky than you and all of your contestants together,' Britney, who is mentoring the teenager, quickly fired back at Simon.
Teenage dreams: Beatrice Miller garnered mixed reviews with her version of Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time
More exciting songs needed: Demi told Beatrice she was 'a little bored' with her performance
Vino, 40, from St. Louis, Missouri,
also split the panel with his rendition of Al Green classic Let's Stay
Together – a song that was covered by Tina Turner.
'I liked this performance better than last week's, but at the same time I have to admit I was a little bored,' Demi said.
Hitting back at his rival judge, mentor L.A told Vino: 'Despite what the diva said, you put your soul into that, you sang it so strong.'
He's got soul: Vino Alan divided the judges after singing Al Green song Let's Stay Together
Mash up: Lyric 145 performed a rendition of Katy Perry hit E.T and Queen Hit We Will Rock You
Lost their way: The band didn't impress L.A. Reid or Demi, who said they should be performing more hip hop songs
Simon admitted that his group Lyric145 had changed their song at midnight and opted for a mash-up of Katy Perry hit E.T. and Queen tune We Will Rock You.
Britney told the band she thought they should be doing hip hop songs, while L.A. told them they had lost their way.
Defending his act, Simon told them: 'You had literally hours to put that together and you never complain, you just get on with it.'
The outcome of the public vote to decide which act will be kicked out of the competition, will be announced in Thursday's results show.
The tension mounts: The contestants will have to wait until Thursday night to learn their fate

text: District of South DakotaPrisoner PropertyFederal institutions and contract jails set strict limitations regarding the type and amount of personal property a prisoner may have while incarcerated. The Southern District of Iowa has developed its Prisoner Property Policy (PPP) to help ensure that all district personnel handle each prisoner's property consistently and in compliance with U.S. Marshals policy. Upon receipt into U.S. Marshals custody, each prisoner is advised, in writing, of what prisoner property will, and will not, be accepted. ALLOWABLE PROPERTY Prisoners in U.S. Marshals custody may retain the following types of personal property while detained in the Southern District of Iowa: 1. Eye glasses or contact lenses, with case. 2. Prescription medication and health items. 3. Up to fifty dollars ($50.00) in U.S. Currency; checks from facilities in any amount. 4. Wedding band – plain wedding bands only; rings with stones are not authorized. 5. Legal papers – concerning your current case only. 6. Religious medal – only if, at the discretion of the U.S. Marshals, the medal's size, shape, and weight do not pose a threat as a potential weapon, or escape device. 7. One set of court clothing. 8. One watch valued at less than $150.00 UN-SENTENCED PRISONERS Un-sentenced prisoners are authorized to retain only above items 1 - 8 while detained in the Southern District of Iowa. Any property in excess of these items will not be accepted from prisoners, contract jail facilities, or state or federal agents committing prisoners to U.S. Marshals custody. SENTENCED PRISONERS Sentenced prisoners awaiting designation and transportation to a federal prison are authorized to retain only above items 1 - 4. No other items will be transported with the prisoner. It is the prisoner's responsibility to make arrangements for any additional property to picked up at the contract jail facility. If the prisoner is unable to make such arrangements, U.S. Marshals will ship items 5 - 8 only to an address (other than a post office box) designated by the prisoner. UNAUTHORIZED PROPERTY Prisoners should not accumulate any other personal property while in U.S. Marshals custody. Any personal property in excess of the above items are not the responsibility of the U.S. Marshals and will not be transported with or shipped on behalf of the prisoner. |

Zimbra Inc.s Zimbra Collaboration Suite puts a new wrinkle on the idea of providing contextual links to corporate data.
Still in beta but expected to ship at the end of this month, Zimbra Collaboration Suite provides e-mail, calendar and scheduling information through a rich browser interface. During tests of the beta, eWEEK Labs found that this "contextualizing" of information in e-mail messages distinguishes Zimbra Collaboration Suite from a growing number of competing e-mail and calendar and scheduling servers.
The Zimbra suite is available through commercial and open-source licenses. The commercial license version of the software, Zimbra Collaboration Suite, is priced at either $28 per seat per year for large organizations with premium support under the Standard Edition or at $1,450 for 50 users under the Small Business Edition. Enhanced support for the Small Business Edition costs an additional $3,000 per year.
Zimbra uses two open-source licenses for the open-source version of the suite. Two components of the open source code, the Zimbra Collaboration Suite Server and Zimbra Ajax Toolkit, are licensed under the MPL (Mozilla Public License).
A third component, the Zimbra Collaboration Suite Web Client, is licensed under the ZPL (Zimbra Public License). ZPL is derived from the MPL and includes an attribution requirement for derivative works.
What sets Zimbra apart from the run-of-the-mill e-mail and calendar server is the suites rich, Web-based client, which is built using AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and has the ability to identify and present message content with additional contextual information.
For example, when we sent an e-mail message including phrases such as "next Friday" or "Jan. 13," these phrases in the recipients e-mail message become links. The alt-tag information associated with the link (which appears when the cursor hovers over the link) displays availability information from the recipients calendar.
The company intends to extend this capability to include information in other systems, such as CRM (customer relationship management), so that users can see relevant and actionable information without having to actually go to another system.
Developers will be able to create integrations with third-party applications using the Zimbra AJAX Toolkit and through Zimbras SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (representational state transfer) APIs. Zimbra also has packaged some components, including the "hover" capability, as applets called Zimlets.
IBM Lotus Domino and Notes pioneered bringing database applications closer to the mail client through the use of embedded links, but Zimbra provides users with information just by moving the cursor over a link.
Click here to read eWEEK Labs review of IBM Lotus Domino/Notes 7.
For a first version, Zimbra does a number of things well for both users and administrators. The basic Webmail interface provides good productivity and message management tools, including the ability to customize message flags and organize messages by threads .
From an administrative standpoint, the Web-based management console makes it easy to add and manage users and groups, as well as control user access to the suites features.
Zimbra also has a plug-in for Microsoft Corp.s Outlook so users wont be limited to the Web client.

I must confess Fickle Finger Of Fate is the only Keel book that I own that I haven't read in its entirety yet.
Comment by John Lacey — October 8, 2010 @ 6:38 pm
Was this gathering of sophisticates held at the same abode that Keel lived in when he died, or did he move elsewhere in NYC later on?

I do just about anything, I take request, penetration, toys, dildos, I also include men in my shows from time to time. any questions or request just ask. I ask that any unique fetishes only be done in exclusive in order to avoid bad rateings.
Penetration, having my pussy ate. kisses on my back are a major turn on, kisses on my neck. slaps on my ass and having my hair pulled. I love it when you talk super dirty to me, tattoos and pierceings are also a turn on.
I can give one hell of a blowjob, but I also excell in other areas. Sex isnt a job its a hobby that I happen to be good at.

Lord! We going to get another fancy speech for this one? The last one hooked Richardson maybe another one could sway McCain to switch sides and run as VP for Mr. Obama hehe.
HAHAHAHAHA – I'm sure Obama wanted this to be some kind of Clinton conspiracy. If the CEO was an advisor to the Clinton campaign we would never hear the end of it and Obama's ploy to deflect attention away from his little Rev Wright problem would have succeeded.
Before I was on the fence but I am no longer. If Obama gets the nomination, this 'typical white INDEPENDENT woman' will be voting for McCain.
Love how the Obamatrons will try to spin this as Clinton's doing. Get a life...because your candidate's run is over.
And they tried to blame the Clinton campaign for this and change the subject from his hate filled church. Wow that sounds a little fishy to me.
i have a great job. I just have to physically work my butt off but I love it.
Too bad more Americans don't have the vision to take what is available in this country and use it to their advantage but instead blame it on the government. You are in control of your own destiny not the President or the congress.
Wasn't there a report this morining that the head of the agency had connections to the Clintons?? O coincidentally has since resigned??? Where is the report on that?
I don't care Obama playing tricks on public attention, but I don't like his pastor preaching anti-America stuff to children, especially to African-American children, 'cause that will creat racial discriminations in our society. He didn't do anything about it for 20 years. Now he distance himself from the pastor of course it's for political positioning.
Obama is not qualified to be a senator.
i am sick of watching BHO strutting around and issuing pompous,self-righteous garbage.Why didn't he leave that anti-white,anti-American church.He knew what was going on all along.Obama is un-American
I guess they were about to blame Hillary for this aannnnd ............someone messed up the plan and I hope people see what obama is doing.....he's the master planner of the so called Hillary Campaign attacks and this one just back fired. he's so desperately trying to get all this negative attention of himself, but it's not working.....remember when soo many things are going wrong, that's a sign from GOD that he doesn't want that for you and if you keep at it, it's only going to get worse. We all know you trying to make history, but this is not the right way to do it.
I can't believe how MANY dumb and ignorant Americans post comments online.
The fact that a company owner has given money to one campaign or another has absolutely nothing to do with the crimes that the contract 'workers' that breached the security did.
Senator Obama is correct in saying that we need better education in the school system in America! Too bad that it is too late to do anything about all of the adults that now are just uneducated and will probably stay that way.
This is ridiculous. There were employees of two contractors involved. An exec of one of the companies donated to the Clinton campaign and an exec of the other donated to Obama's campaign. This is going to boil down simply to three employees snooping around out of curiosity. The positive thing about this is that it exposed problems regarding communication between the low to mid level management within the State Dept....something that has to be corrected. It will of course be investigated as it should be, but I don't expect any big revelations here. There is nothing in those files that isn't already out there with the exception of social security numbers, phone numbers, etc.
MAB2 is dead on, and could have easily pointed out all the huge electoral sized states went to Hillary as well, and has a much stronger general election appeal. Super Delegates can think about THAT as well. You can not count the MI, FL, delegates, but the superdelegates have the responsibility to consider the millions of people who voted there.
The Democrats can not let the campaign attitudes deflect from the reality of what has and will happen. Remember, Obama when losing by the same margin he leads now, argued the difference was negligible. Now he's on top, and it's all of a sudden a HUGE gap between Hillary and himself. His campaign is trying to dictate victory, and pressure the superdelegates to not go against him.
3 different interns snooped over a 1 year period. This didn't just happen last week.
lol @ "someone being arrested" because the owner of a company with dumb interns supports Obama. Obama's files are the ones that got broken into thrice!
Sometime I wonder about the thought processes of the people who comment in these blogs.
this is somehow news, yet you bury that Clintons supporter is head of the other company, and meanwhile video has finally shown up proving that Hillary did not face sniper fire in Bosnia – she flat out LIED and noones covering itt
go to youtube look up Hillary Bosnia and everyone will see.
Clinton fools, this has nothing to do with Obama, not him, not his campaign. Hillary has lost already, accept it! You are just helping John McCain and the republicans which is what you wanted all along. Hillary is vying for the McCain running mate position, she truly is a vile disgrace to the Democratic Party and all it stands for! Obama had nothing to do with FL and MI, those clowns in those states dug their own grave. Stop hating Obama and embrace our one true destiny! OBAMA '08.
Gee, now we know why this so-called BREAKING story came out timed so perfectly to get everyone's minds off of the Obama-Wright situation.
And CNN- CHANGE YOUR TICKER TITLE. You've had that "Richardson calls out Clinton advisor" title up for almost 24 hours. I seriously don't know why I bother sometimes...you are so biased towards Obama...
Of course Obama would not use these words in public. Do you think that would get him elected? Attending these services for twenty years does give a clue to what is in his head, thought, does it not?
I think so......
Whoever the CEOs support is unimportant. Guess what? Its election time. Everybody is contributing to campaigns.
Its the 4 separate employees that breached security. The real questions are:
-Did the employees have motive or are they just stupid?
-What motive did the lower-level supervisors have for not reporting the security breaches up the chain of command?
If the breaches were considered serious enough to fire them why didn't the supervisors tell?
Welcome to our severely broken government.
Barack Obama did not break the rules in Michigan and Florida. They broke the rules! It is what it is. Hillary will do anything to win the nomination. She has run nothing but a negative canpaign. That's why she is lagging behind.. If the people voted on which candidate was the most honest, she nor her husband could win. She could never get my vote even if Obama did not win. What is she afraid of not to reveal her tax forms?
Yet another problem that Obama's name is tied to lets see how he spins this. Do I detect another race speech or will he just blame it on the Clinton's.Obama was trained from the best of Chicago's corrupt group of political people.Look up the Chicago political machines names and over half are in trouble or under investigation or have been asked to resign and even jailed. People wake up Obama is just as corrupt as the rest and its just a matter of time before its out What about the list of names that Obama's tied to and who he supported and endorsed the people that helped him get in office from day one not a list that I would want if it became public
You can take the politician out of Chicago but you can't take the Chicago out of the politician.
HOW DARE!!! u obamians blame EVERYTHING on hillary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????? WHAT!? it turns out that Obama hatched this plan to shed light off of his pastor case and yet its STILL HILLARYS FAULT?!!!!?
oh well i guess im just...... "a typical white person"
I don't care who contributed campaign money to which candidate. If an employee, or any other individual is snooping into personal files that are clearly off limits, then kick them to the curb! This company and their "curious employee" do not warrant any special treatment and should be held to the highest accountability.
"The other two contractors, who worked for Stanley Inc., were fired. Its CEO, Philip Nolan, contributed $1,000 to the Clinton campaign."
The other company's CEO is a Clinton supporter. Did ya'll just gloss that over before attacking Obama for foolishness?
OMG... and the CEO's grandmother is a Clinton supporter and his pastor is a child molester and he has friend who is a lesbian. His family can be traced back to plantation owners engaging in slavery as well.
Are you people insane?

Albany Herald
ALBANY — Thronateeska Heritage Center has announced its schedule for its Summer Astronomy Series at the Wetherbee Planetarium presented by staff astronomer, Jim Friese. Programs will be conducted on the third Tuesday of July, September and November. Each of the four programs will be held in the Science Museum with doors opening at 7 p.m. Length of each program is approximately 1½ hours.
The July 15 live presentation, "Not of this World," will explore planets found outside our solar system referred to as exoplanets. Nearly 1,800 exoplanets have been discovered thus far with the Kepler Space Telescope leaving scientists to ponder if other life forms exist elsewhere. Ending the evening program, guests will view the show, "Oasis in Space."
On Sept. 16, Friese will explain how galaxies develop and if they will last forever in his presentation of "Island Universes." To follow, the planetarium show, "Astronomyths," will be present highlighting various constellations and some of the deep space objects found within them.
Rounding off the series on Nov. 18 will be a presentation and workshop on telescopes and early astronomers. In addition, guests will view "Two Small Pieces of Glass," which presents a history of telescopes and their evolution.
Admission to each series is $3.50 per person, plus tax. Thronateeska members are admitted at no charge as well as Darton College students with current student I.D. While reservations are not required, seating is limited. Program content is suitable for all ages.
For more information, call the Thronateeska Heritage Center office at (229) 432-6955.

Update 2/2/12 - Just (literally) got a call from American Honda Finance Corp... they are removing the 60 day late AND the charge-off from my credit reports!!! YAHOOOOO!!!!!! I couldn't get to MyFico fast enough! This is great news!
Update 3/8/12 - I do not actively monitor this thread so if you want contact info, send your request to me in a PM. Thanks.
Original Post:
I need a good contact to try a GW from Honda Finance to remove the charge-off on my account.
I missed 2 payments (1 30 day in 2006, 1 60 day in 2009) and there were only like 4 payments left on the acct but I lost my job right then.
Anyways, I made payment arrangements to the CA to pay off the remaining balance, which was complete in Mar 2010. I sent a GW letter in 7/2010 asking to have the negative/delinquent info removed from the CRA. I never heard any response. I noticed today that it is still showing on the CR and plan to send another letter this week.
Is there a better way to get a response. Here is the address I sent it to (from the CR) - 8601 MCALPINE PARK DRIVE, SUITE 230, CHARLOTTE , NC-28211
Here is the info from EQ today:
Type of Account : Installment Credit Limit:
Term Duration: 60 Months Terms Frequency: Monthly
Date Opened: 11/2004 Balance: $ 0
Date Reported: 04/2010 Amount Past Due:
Date of Last Payment: 03/2010 Actual Payment Amount: $ 314
Scheduled Payment Amount: $ 463 Date of Last Activity: N/A
Date Major Delinquency First Reported: 04/2010 Months Reviewed: 65
Creditor Classification: Activity Description: Transfer/Sold
Charge Off Amount: $ 941 Deferred Payment Start Date:
Date Closed: Type of Loan: Auto
Date of First Delinquency: 11/2009
Comments: Transferred to recovery,
Charged off account
Since your post is about fixing your credit, I'm moving it to the rebuilding your credit forum.
--fused, myfico moderator
thanks Fused.
I wasn't sure where to post it, since it was more about trying to find a contact at Honda Finance than actually rebuilding.
I found the name of the president, and just sent it to the headquarters address, but not sure if that will get a response - hopefully!
I'm still looking for any other information/contacts - email, mail, phone, etc
I wish you luck with this one. I sent them numerous GW letters and called them countless times to remove one 30 minute late. They always said no until one day the late just disappeared off my credit report. I guess they just got tired of me sending GW letters. I sent all of my letters to the following address:
8601 McAlpine Park Drive, #230
Charlotte, NC 28211-6243
Hi John,
I ended up sending it to the headquarters in Torrence, CA because previously I was sending it to that address.
I am ecstatic! I hope this helps my credit score!
Congradulations! Can you please PM me the email or fax that you've corresponded with?
So i have a TL from TMCC (toyota) that i am paying that has 4 - 30 day lates (was 5) i would like them to remove the last 4, could i get an example of your letter?

May I please get this info as well.

Its regarding document slusaf2a.pdf. There seems to be some confusion, at least to me, on page 26.
1. Under "INPUT ACFET AND RBFET SELECTION", line 2, it should be referring to Figure 23 instead of 22.
2. In Figure 23, the questionable component is resistor Rsns. Shouldn't that be Rac? Rsns should be next to the inductor, isn't?
Please help me clarify this. Thanks.
SLUSAF2A.pdf is bq24171's datasheet. You are right. The figure number should be 23. Also, Rsns isn't used on anywhere else. Call it Rac that makes sense. I will contact system engineer and update the datasheet.
In reply to Wang5577:
1. Thanks.
2. No, it did. If you refer to page 27 Fig 25, it is named again Rsns with specific instructions to connect from SRP & to SRN but Rsns on Fig 23 is connected after RBFET & PVcc. I know the part is sense res but kind of confusing if used in such manner.

Understanding Why Bulk Solids Behave Differently Than Liquids
- Type: Archived Webinar
- Level:
- PDHs:
Costly problems commonly result during handling or processing of bulk solids in many industries including chemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and foods. All too often, fundamental theories for liquid flow have been applied incorrectly to bulk solids flow. As a result, operations or equipment failures occur, thereby reducing plant efficiencies, creating lost/rejected/wasted product, or compromising operator safety. This webinar will provide insights into why bulk solids behave differently than liquids. Concepts regarding powder flow testing, bin/silo design, feeder integration, flow rate limitations, and mechanisms of powder segregation will be introduced. General solutions to powder handling problems will be discussed. The webinar is a quality educational tool that can raise awareness for those that are routinely involved in bulk solids handling.

Harry Styles is reportedly back together with Taylor Swift... well, for today anyway. To be honest, we can't really keep up with them anymore.
Taylor and Harry went their seperate ways since the New Year. Copyright: [rex/splash]
Today the story is that Taylor has realised the error of her ways, has managed to successfully win Harry back and now they are off to France on another hol,
"Taylor realised she was being a bit full-on," a chum told The Sun.
Related Article: [Taylor Swift jets into London to spend birthday with Harry - EXCLUSIVE]
Related Article: [Harry Styles and Taylor Swift split: Were the Directioners to blame?]
Related Article: [Harry Styles gets over Taylor Swift split with a bit of partying]
"She is now more relaxed about their relationship. She intends to enjoy it more rather than worry about where it could eventually lead."
Yep, live for the now - excellent strategy, etc.
Taylor is going to try and be more chilled this time round. Copyright: [rex]
"Harry is not the sort of guy you can stay mad at for long, she's given him some space and it's done them both a world of good."
"What happened over New Year is now a distant memory."
So it would seem that things are very much back on track with the on/off couple.
Just yesterday we told you exclusively that the American country singer had jetted into London to have chats with Hazza ahead of his birthday.
A source exclusively told us that she can't get him out of her head and wants to plan him a special set of celebrations - just like he did for her birthday when they were together.
And now the pair have seemingly reconciled they are already planning a (-nother) romantic trip abroad.
Harry and Taylor are off to Cannes to properly talk things through.
We just hope they don't have another 'almighty row', we don't think our heads could handle it.

What a beautiful tribute to your Dad and your life together. I think the only. thing that holds us together sometimes are those memories...many of them not even repeatable, but they are the best things ever. I love that you dropped out of kindergarten... you rebel. I know you will miss your Daddy, but you carry him with you not only in your heart.. but in who you are. that's real love. What a blessing.
Thank you for sharing this.
pink puffies and cherry red 3 wheelers...That was so beautiful, I am so sorry for your loss of your Daddy, my Daddy is ill with Alzheimers and so he is not really the Dad that I remember, its sad...my prayers are with you, I just happened to be on my blog, I pretty much stopped posting to it a year ago or more, so I just wanted to say hi and I am thinking of you.
take care

Kristen - who worked with Dax, 35, on romantic comedy 'When in Rome' - recently revealed her love life takes priority over her career.
She said: "I think your significant other should be way more important than your work, personally. I love working. But I don't know that I'd say I'm a workaholic because I also love maxin' and relaxin'."
She also gave her top relationship tip - communication.
She added: "I've learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings. Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you've created a safe zone.
"And a snuggle party can fix anything - it's true."
