Gas prices have soared this year, making 2012 the most expensive year ever for gas nationally, according to a press release by Gasbuddy.The national average was $3.63 per gallon. Some of the spikes were due to California's supply problem and also the impact of Hurricane Sandy flooding which caused power outages to refineries in the Northeast, said Gregg Laskoski, GasBuddy analyst, in the press release."It reminds us exactly how vulnerable our nation's fuel infrastructure is and why the U.S. should be looking to increase refining capacity where it is needed most," he said in the press release.

Comments about Perfecter Fusion Styler - As Seen on TV:
I have very fine hair and the only way to make it look presentable was to use lots of hair spray and lots of teasing. My Perfecter arrived today, and since I had seen how to operate it on their website I was able to use it immediately. This is the best invention for my hair, I no longer have to tease it, after using the Perfecter my hair is nice and shiny and with just a little bit of light hair spray my hair looks as if I just left the hair saloon. I no longer need a hair dresser so that will be a great savings. I no longer need my curling iron and I no longer need hair curlers. I love, love, love the Perfecter and it was well worth the money. I will spread the news about this great product to all of my friends.

I am sorry you did not enjoy it!
Thread: I bought it blind yesterday..
.. came home, unpacked it immediately and tested it. It disappoints me! I expected so much more.
The opening is fruity orangey, the middle is maltlike but the base is almost the same as the original A*Men.
I don't find anything special about Pure Malt at all. It's just a tamer (less bold) version of A*men that's easier on the nose (the harsh opening of A*Men is removed).
Average sillage, good longevity.
I'll return my bottle tomorrow.
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
I am sorry you did not enjoy it!
My own fault
The only gourmands (?) I liked so far are Le Mâle, Body Kouros and Givenchy Play Intense.
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
Try it again and don't spray too much. This is nice stuff in my book. Too much is overwhelming ....
decant sales:
Crystal Flacon
I had the same first reaction as you, let it grow on you. try it again a week later, you may start to like it alot. I don't think it'll ever replace A*Men for me but its an incredibly close second.
Is this how you always treat blind buys? Just return them after you have opened the box and use some of the product? Something about that just rubs me the wrong way. The risk/consequence you took by buying blind is then handed off to the store. Seems a bit unfair to me considering they actually lose profit due to your irresponsibility of not sampling it first. I can see doing this with a shirt that doesn't fit but certainly not a fragrance.
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
His post is indeed very offensive. The store has a return policy (15 days).
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
Yeah if you're not into gourmands, this definitely won't be for you. I kinda wish the patchouli was toned down a bit, but ah well.
The original is still better... It's much safer smelling, but it's too weak IMO and the whiskey is too dominate for my tastes. I kinda like Burberry London's booze note better, even though it is pretty linear.
I have bought Pure Malt blind as well. I have no expectations for it. I know it gets crazy love in here, but still. I can't wait to smell it. I love my malt whiskies so I'm assuming I'll like it. And hey, it'll be gone soon, so no harm in trying. I paid retail, so not like it cost me an arm.
It's an underlying basenotes rule to test a fragrance several times before u decide if u like it or not.
I personally dont like it that much. (after several tests of course)

First time i smelled it, i thought wow this is very pleasant. But after a few more times, its too pleasant to be interesting. Plus, it fades TOO FAST : (((((
Who knows , it might change.
It'd be gud to have a bottle anyway, since its gonna be gone forever ????

I don't get a fruity orange opening. I get a cherry/whiskey opening with that strange latex smell everyone talks about. When I first tried it in sample form I was thrown off by it as well as the longevity because it was really bad. But then I bought a bottle and got the same smell just WAY better longevity.
I agree it kind of grows on you though because at first I was like meh. Then after a few wears I was liking it. But now I love the stuff and find it intoxicating. So after hearing the news it may be really discontinued this time for Pure Havana I picked up a back up bottle. I want to be able to grab for this as long as I can.
Also I am wondering where you got it from. I have been hearing Fragrancenet stock really isn't that good so if you bought it there you might try someone else if you can.
I got mine from London. As for people giving the OP a hard time for returning the bottle. Come on, he had no way of testing it, he bought it, didn't like it and returned it the next day. It's not like he used it for 14 days and returned it on the 15th. Now that would be cheap!
Im also disappointed with this fragrance b/c of all the reviews. I think its too offensive to wear and the only reason im keeping mine is because of the rave reviews from others and that it is a limited edition
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
The thing I love the most right now about this perfume is the conflicting and contrasting reviews. It's just got me at the edge of my seat now. Can't wait to get hold of mine. I know I'm either going to LOVE it or HATE it. I don't do middle ground.
Same here, my bottle is somewhere between United States and Australia right now. If it love it I'll place another order, if I just like it I'll wait for Pure Havanae, if I hate it then I'll sell it for $500 in 3 years time..
Bummer, the SA didn't want to exchange my bottle of PM for another fragrance.
She said the reason was because the packaging was opened..
Weird, because at the end of the purchase receipt is written that you can exchange your purchases in the first 15 days after purchase.
Ah well, maybe I start liking it more after giving it another try

I succeeded to convince the store to replace my bottle of Pure Malt after all and I decided to replace it with...
Le Mâle
Am I crazy?
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
So I'm guessing it didn't grow on you?
Le Mâle is the first fragrance that opened my eyes and really wowed me when I started sniffing colognes for the first time in a store. I never bought it before because it was too popular but I always found that not having Le Mâle was a gap that needed to be filled. I hope I enjoy it without having to worry smelling like every other guy but I'll probably wear wear it mostly in freezing cold weather with only one spray to the chest.
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
I got into colognes this summer and pure malt was the first cologne I bought and it was a blind buy thanks to CutlassSupreme and my first experience with it was dissapointing! I was like WTF!? Anyways, 20 samples later from different colognes trying to find me a signature scent and I tried creed mi, 1 million, varvatos, dior homme intense, body kouros, a*men, musc ravageur and many more .. AND I have to say that after all of those scents and not smelling Pure Malt for a month and a half, going back to it one day just to smell it again I was like HOLY ****! I LOVED IT! I couldn't stop smelling it all night! I even sprayed it on my wrist that night just so I could smell it in my sleep lol! Anyways now I need a new bottle! but Im scared the new one will not smell like my bottle!
i hate le male.... ugh... terrible decision imo, but it's your choice, not mine, so hey.
I bought my PM from beauty encouter two months before the re-release for a 100 bucks and it's awesome! Anyways, I want to get another bottle but I dont wan't to buy a new one (re-released) after what I have been reading about them ..so I went to the beautyencounter website and they are still selling theirs for a $100 even after the rerelease! Mine came packaged with the plastic wrapper and also had all the little books inside.. I could tell it was new. I think I'm going to find out what batch they have and if it's around the same serial numbers as the one they sent me the first time I'm gonna go for it! Mine stays smokey for a long long time I love it! I havent worn it out yet Ive just tried it at home and WOW!
In all seriousness, Le Male is a good fragrance, its really fallen from grace for me though. I used to love it, but i got bored with it for whatever reason. I'm not big into powdery florals, and the sweetness of the vanilla compensated for that, but now I've found more stuff that is sweeter (1 Million really is the reason i stopped using it).
Don't worry about smelling like every other guy either. I don't think i've ever smelled it on anyone before haha
My sentiments exactly. Pure Malt & Musc Ravageur are the two most overrated fragrances on basenotes. Both unimpressive.
The receipt clearly states the policy of the store here in the US. I would just ask for an SA that went to kindergarten.
[QUOTE=Neurosis;1958765]If I was the SA I wouldn't let you do that lol.
I post lots from my I phone so if this looks like a text message that's why ( :
I have learned to keep the box (tried to return habit rouge) not just the receipt. It cost me a little because I didn't read the policy first .
I post lots from my I phone so if this looks like a text message that's why ( :
And i just realized something ironic. I once bought a 4.2oz of Le Male and returned it for the cash...which I used to buy Pure Malt lol
same happens me too..i´ll returned the bottle immediately...i am a big a*men fan, i had them all, the coffe scent which don´t impress me too...ice men - its amazing WOW!
to me the malt one, is totally in the background, nobody think that i have a scent on me, all my friends find this one boring and sweet. when i wear my a*men, i get compliments the whole time, most womans, and the ice men is everybodys darling here in germany... Yes, the B*men isso much better than malt...
to the coffee scent...this scent is also weak, no one says anything when i put it on... but i love coffe scents!! everytime i put on my New Haarlem - everything around me goes crazy and smell the coffee thing, but the angel coffee no comment..
A*Men classic and New Haarlem Bond9 are the best gourmands out there, the rochas smells like the axe dark temptation, hte coffee is down, only sweet musk with subtle choclate...for me a semi gourmand
scent up your life!

Big Sixth Inning Slams Wingate Past Baseball 9-3; Each Team Trades Road Wins in Series
April 4, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Using a six-run sixth inning that included a grand slam, Wingate University cruised to a 9-3 victory over Pfeiffer University in non-conference baseball action Wednesday at Joe Ferebee Field. The two teams split the season series winning on each others home turf as the Bulldogs improve to 26-16 overall while the Falcons fall to 19-17.
Scoring opened in the third as James Tedder (Clemmons, NC) put the first hit and run up on the board for the Bulldogs with an opposite field solo shot to left. Wingates six-run sixth began with three-straight singles from Brian Yeung (Raleigh, NC), Casey Allison (Horse Shoe, NC) and Jason Hunter (West Chester, PA). Hunter showed bunt in his at-bat, but pulled back just in time to slap a single up the middle to score Yeung from second.
After an intentional walk was given to Tedder to load the bases, Chris Vazquez (Tyrone, GA) would get hit on an inside pitch to bring home Allison for the easy RBI. After a strike out by starter Eric Shuford (Shelby, NC) to the Bulldogs Thomas Spitz (West Chester, PA) putting two outs on the board, Jacob Karr (Richmond, VA) blasted a grand slam that cleared the trees in left-center giving the visitors a 7-0 lead.
Karr struck again in the Wingate eighth with a RBI-single to left-center before the Falcons got on the board with a run of their own on a Kevin Price single to right. Aarin Sharpe (Winterville, NC) and Jacob Yates (Blairs, VA) started the frame with base hits to set the table for Price. Pinch-hitter Josh Clark (Clemmons, NC) wrapped up Bulldog scoring on the day with a run-scoring single down the left-field line in the ninth while Johnny Brown, Jr. (Greensboro, NC) added a two-run pinch-hit single in the Falcon ninth.
Karr led the Bulldogs with a pair of hits and five driven in on the day while Spitz, Allison, Hunter and Tedder also had two of Wingates 13 hits on the day. Pfeiffer out-hit the Bulldogs 14-13 thanks in part to Prices 4-for-5 day at the dish. Stephen Vaughan (Wilmington, NC) earned the win on the mound tossing six scoreless innings allowing seven hits with a pair of strikeouts.
Pfeiffer will now get back into Conference Carolinas play this weekend heading north to King for a Friday/Saturday series with the Tornado. Both days will begin at 12:00 p.m. with Friday hosting a doubleheader.

Used these mounts with a Thule Xtender ski rack on a Chevy Tahoe.
Thule wouldn't sell me mounts to fit my car outside of the US market.
Bad service by Thule!
These mounts from Yakima did the trick. Next time I will buy everything from Yakima.
Had to get new 40x6mm bolts and washers to avoid drilling new holes in the racks.
Quick and easy to take off the ski rack when washing car in machine wash etc.

Rosencrantz: We might as well be dead. Do you think death could possibly be a boat?
Guildenstern: No, no, no … Death is … not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat.
Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.
Guildenstern: No, no, no — what you've been is not on boats.

There's a natural tendency for us to want endings to resonate. It's why we put so much stock in things like the finales of Breaking Bad or True Detective or Lost. An ending is supposed to cast light back on what came before, to contextualize an experience, to put a punctuation mark on it. Even those of us who are pretty much okay with ambiguous endings like the fade at the end of The Sopranos or Don Gately waking up alone on a beach on the last page of Infinite Jest can still get suckered by that craving for some kind of final chord, whether resolved or suspended, a giant crash of three pianos playing a giant E at the end of "A Day In the Life."
When this kind of closure fails to appear in sports, it's doubly troubling. Every team — like more or less every person — likes to imagine themselves at the center of whatever story is being told, but the truth is that every season is only going to offer up one main character, one triumphant hero. There's a reason Sports Illustrated puts out a handsomely bound edition that collects everything written about the Super Bowl or World Series or NBA Champions. Collected into a narrative that ends in crowning victory, everything starts to make sense.
But along the way, major supporting characters, minor supporting characters and extras all fall under the blade in service of that bigger story. If the eventual NBA champion is the hero of The Odyssey, enduring detours and overcoming challenges on the long road home, the runner-up is the hero of Hamlet, coming tantalizingly close to victory only to be felled at the last moment.
Which makes the 2013-14 Minnesota Timberwolves sort of like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Continue Reading…

In 2012, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) in Urbana, Illinois, handled more than 180,000 cases about pets possibly exposed to poisonous substances—and some breeds seemed to make up a lot more of those calls than others.
Nearly 14,000 of APCC's 2012 calls were from worried pet parents of Labradors. Domestic shorthair cats were involved in approximately 10,000 cases (the second-most popular breed involved in APCC calls). Mixed-breed dogs (8,000 cases), Chihuahuas (4,833 cases), Golden Retrievers (4,819 cases) and Yorkshire Terriers (3,800 cases) rounded out the top six.
No matter what kind of pets they had, thousands of pet parents called us about the same products last year. Here were the top five poisons that caused pet parents to call APCC for help in 2012:
1. Prescription Human Medications
APCC handled 25,000 cases regarding human prescription medications in 2012. The top three types of medications that animals were exposed to were: heart medications (blood pressure pills), antidepressants and pain medications (opioids and prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
2. Insecticides
While just 11% of all calls to the APCC are about insecticides, more than 50% of the calls to APCC involving cats pertain to felines exposed to insecticides.
3. Over-the-Counter Human Medications
This group contains acetaminophen, ibuprofen and naproxen as well as herbal and nutraceutical products (fish oil, joint supplements).
4. Veterinary Products and Medications
Veterinary products made up nearly 6% of APCC's case volume for 2012. Both OTC and prescription veterinary products are included in this group. Watch out for flavored tablets!
5. Household Products
APCC fielded more than 10,000 calls about household products in 2012. Household toxins can range from fire logs to cleaning products.
For numbers six through 10, check out the full list of the top poisons of 2012.
And remember: If you have any reason to suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, please contact your veterinarian or the Animal Poison Control Center's 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435.

Only they charge you $65 dollars to give you information about what your pet has eaten!!! And in this economy it really sucks! Some people can't afford a $65 phone call. There should be a way to make a smaller donation it just seems wrong to with hold life saving information
I want to benefit from the poison quiz But do NOT want to sign onto Facebook. I don't like their privacy policy. Please consider putting the quiz on your blog.
I agree with the previous comment about the poison quiz. I'd like to participate but do not want to sign up for Facebook to do so. Privacy is not their strong point.
Our cat Chesty was poisoned by Hartz Mountain flea medication - the kind you apply to the neck. He almost died. The vet did a great job of caring for him, and he recovered. The vet said he'd treated a number of such poisoning cases.
How sad. Maybe Obama can devise another tax on us all so everyone can afford to have a pet whether they can afford it or not. Just like his free cell phones, medical care, and anything else to snare a vote.
Leave politics out of this, $65 IS pricey. Also, the free phones to which you are referring were actually started by Ronald Reagan. Knowledge is your friend.

2008 Winter Holiday deadlines:
All orders sent through the mail should arrive at our PO Box by December 1
P.S.- On that note, Friday November 28, 2008 is the 17th annual Buy Nothing Day! Make a stand against consumerism by joining in a Zombie Walk, an empty shopping cart Conga Line, or any one of dozens of other international events tomorrow on the largest shopping day on the calendar.
That said, we and every other independently owned business, collective, and/or local coop need your support in these times of economic ridiculousness. Why give $ to ginormous corporations who are sucking the government's teats- er, being "bailed out"- while the rest of us struggle? For more about the Buy Local movement go here, here,

Vic Bondi gave us a heads up on some YouTube videos featuring the Articles of Faith songs he played with members of Pegboy in Chicago on 11/15. Vic's current band Report Suspicious Activity played a few shows last weekend, including a show in Chicago that featured a special set of AOF songs. We're embedding their performance of "What We Want is Free." You can find more videos from that show here (courtesy of user ShackIeMeNot).
On their recent tour, Triclops! stopped by WFMU, one of the best freeform radio stations ever, and played some songs live in the studio. Here is the archive of their appearance.
Triclops! has a few California shows supporting the Hanson Brothers coming up:

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still questions Jello Biafra's ability to bring about change to this country, today is your answer.
In his 1979 San Francisco mayoral campaign, Jello pledged to make businessmen wear clown suits within city limits. Right about now might be a good time to reconsider his proposal. Watch out, Hank Paulson! Gird your loins, Wall Street! Treasury Secretary Jello Biafra has a nice ring to it, no?
Well, actually, the clowns in the photo are not businessmen. They're real clowns from the Big Apple Circus invited to ring the opening bell at NYSE. Read about it here in the NY Post. But yes we can believe that Jello had the right idea, dammit.
Just a heads up that there's a merch clearance sale over at VoteNader.org. We bring this to your attention because one of the items they carry is a DVD of their August 2008 rally in Denver, CO. It features our own Jello Biafra as one of the many speakers (others include Cindy Sheehan and Sean Penn) as well as live sets by Rage Against the Machine, etc.
P.S.- Also elected, some dude named Barack Obama.
Check out the interview with Vic Bondi of Articles of Faith and Report Suspicious Activity on Newsvine. RSA will play three shows next weekend in Baltimore, DC, and Chicago. The Chicago show will feature a short set of AOF songs with Vic Bondi and members of Pegboy. Be there!

Just a quick note for those of you in the US who are voting on election day. We're sure you've been hearing about voter suppression efforts and cranky voting machines that are plaguing the process already.
Before you go to your polling place (here's a Google Maps mashup if you need to find your location), double check your state's ID requirements and make sure to bring proper documents. Just in case, program this number into your cell: 866-687-8683 (866-OUR-VOTE). That's the hotline number for Election Protection, a non-partisan coalition who provides voter info and advice as well as collect data on irregularities. The Spanish language hotline is 1-888-Ve-Y-Vota.
Happy voting!
It looks like Rob the Baron will take a short break from making swords because Amebix will be touring the US in January 2009. Below are the confirmed dates so far. Please stay tuned to our Tour Dates page for any updates and changes. We recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance, as the shows will sell out.

Though ABC has cancelled and pulled Zero Hour off the schedule, it looks like viewers north of the border will get a chance to see the remaining episodes.
GlobalTV, which airs the Anthony Edwards show in Canada, still has Zero Hour on their schedule, at least for the next two weeks. The broadcaster runs Zero Hour at 8pm on Thursdays, just like ABC did.
Global makes aired episodes available online but are only available to those with Canada IP addresses.
There's still no word on when or if ABC will get around to airing the remaining 10 episodes of Zero Hour. A summer run is a possibility but the show's ratings were so poor that the network could likely garner better ratings from reruns.
On the positive side, ABC hasn't removed the show from their website so there's a chance the episodes could also be released there.
What do you think? Do you think Zero Hour will continue airing in Canada? Do you think ABC will air them eventually?
UPDATE: GlobalTV has now pulled Zero Hour as well. Both ABC and GlobalTV only aired three episodes.

Here is a collection of frequently asked questions that I have put together to help you in renting one of our properties. If you have any other questions, not listed here, feel free to call or send an e-mail.
Generally, real property never depreciates in value, or more so, it is not very common for property to depreciate. This is why it's a great investment. Make sure you carefully consider location and community when choosing a home, it can effect the homes future value greatly.
If you are in a newly developed area, do some research on the construction of the surrounding areas being developed to determine if they may effect your homes value.
This is really just a matter of preference, but both newer and older homes offer distinct advantages, depending upon your unique taste and lifestyle.
Older homes can generally cost less than new homes, however, there are many cases where new homes can also cost less then older homes. Most new homes will not have any backyard landscaping and some don''t include any front landscaping either. With an older home, the landscaping is normally already completed and could have 10''s of thousands of dollars in landscaping done, which is included in the purchase price.
Taxes on some older homes may also be lower. Some people are charmed by the elegance of an older home but shy away because they''re concerned about potential maintenance costs. Consider a home warranty to get the peace of mind you deserve. A good Home Warranty plan protects you against unexpected repairs on many home systems and appliances for a full year or more after you move in.
In a new house, you can pick your own color schemes, flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, custom wiring for TV''s, electrical, computers, phones and speakers, etc., as well as have more upgrade options. Modern features like media rooms, extra-large closets and extra-large bathrooms and tubs are also more attainable in ground-up construction. In a used home, you rely largely on the previous resident''s tastes and technological whims, unless you plan to farm thousands into a remodeling and rewiring.
New-home designers can use new building materials such as glazed Energy Star windows, thicker insulation and other technology that will lower future energy costs for the owner. Most states now have minimum energy-efficiency requirements for new construction. Kitchens and laundry areas in new homes are designed to house more efficient energy-saving appliances. Older homes, unless they have undergone an energy retrofit, usually cost much more per square foot to air-condition and heat.
Builders have to follow very strict guidelines in new-homes and additions, especially in the West and Northwest, where earthquake safety standards must be observed. In general, new homes are usually more fire-safe and better accommodating of new security and garage-door systems.
Older homes can be better judged for their quality and timeless beauty. New homes that now possess a smooth veneer might reveal the use of substandard building materials or shoddy workmanship over time.
As you can see there are advantages and dis-advantages to each, but it really comes down to what fits you and what you are looking for in a home.
Listing Agents usually deal with sellers, and are the ones who will list a property for sale on the Multiple Listing Service.
Selling Agents (also Buyers Agents) mostly deal with the homebuyers, usually only listing just a few homes for sale. They will sell the homes (which have been placed in the MLS) via the listing agents.
The majority of agents will focus on one or the other. Some agents will also divide their time between sellers and buyers and are usually regarded as the best ones since they are dealing with both sides of the coin.
If you phone an agent from a magazine or newspaper ad, you are usually contacting the listing agent. These agents will place ads to show the seller that they are making an effort to sell their home. Also their advertising efforts can draw others who may decide to sell their homes.
A real estate agent is more than just a sales person. A real estate agent may act on your behalf, providing you with advice and guidance when buying or selling a home. Due to the constant changing of the market, the information available on listings is not always 100% accurate. There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with a real estate agent.
If you are in the market to buy, it would be advisable to use a Buyer's Agent. They can make recommendations on what terms and prices to offer as well as negotiating a deal with your best interest in mind.
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) sets standards for the calculation of the amount mortgage lenders require borrowers to deposit into the escrow account. RESPA limits the initial deposit into an escrow account to an amount equal to the sum sufficient to pay taxes, insurance premiums, and other charges on the mortgaged property for the first payment period, plus a cushion.
An escrow cushion is an amount of money held in the escrow account to prevent the account from being overdrawn when increases in disbursements occur.
On a monthly basis, mortgage lenders may not require borrowers to pay more than one-twelfth of the total amount of the estimated annual taxes, insurance premiums, and other charges, plus an amount necessary to maintain the allowable cushion.
The easiest way to avoid PMI is by putting 20% down payment; however, PMI can also be avoided if you only have 5% or 10% for the down payment. The way to accomplish this is via a first and second mortgage combination commonly referred to as 80/10/10^s or 80/15/5^s.
These two methods combine a first mortgage lien for 80% of the home price with a second mortgage lien for either 10% or 15% of the home price leaving the remaining 5% or 10% as the down payment. Because the first lien is at the magical 80% loan=to-value, there is no PMI required, even though a second mortgage is being |piggybacked| onto the financing thus allowing for the lessor down payment.
While the second lien terms are not as attractive as first lien rates, the second mortgage is still home mortgage interest and thus deductible as such on your federal tax return where PMI is insurance and offers no deduction.
This question is best answered after careful consideration of your own personal financial goals. Buying down the interest rate (paying points on the mortgage - one point is one percent of your mortgage amount) may not be in your best interest. Here are some reasons why:Mortgage interest paid is tax deductible in most cases (seek the advice of an accountant or the IRS).The funds are no longer available to invest, save or use (ie. purchase an IRA, pay off credit card debt at a higher rate, etc.)Falling interest rates can be taken advantage of sooner if discount points are not paid to buy down the interest rate (the original interest rate was higher).In the past, if a consumer bought down the interest rate and then refinanced (buying down the rate again), it is possible not enough time will have elapsed to recover the |buy down| amount through the reduced monthly payment. This also occurs if the consumer sells the home before recovering the |buy down| amount.Not only does the amount paid in discount fees (buy down amount) need to be recovered, the |time value| of the money spent or its |present value| also needs to be recovered. Present value is the income you could have earned or the satisfaction you could have received through alternative use of your money. Remembe to consider the tax consequences of your ultimate decision.Individuals should do what best fits their own personal situation and goals.
Many tax authorities will mail an informational copy of the real estate tax statement to the homeowner in addition to the Credit Union. However, there are some statements tax authorities do not forward to the credit union, and in special cases we will need your assistance in obtaining the bill. If you receive a statement for any of the following, please forward it to our office by mail or fax.
After your tenant vacates the property, we will provide the tenant with the required accounting statement and return their security deposit within the time legally allowed. If the tenant has damaged the premises beyond normal wear and tear the cost of repairs will be deducted from the tenant's security deposit.
Upon receipt of notice that your resident is moving, we start the marketing process in accordance with your individualize pre-defined marketing plan. We market vacancies through our websites, other rental websites, for rent signs at the property and print ads if needed. We also receive rental inquiries from prospects familiar with Metro Property Management.
Our management fees are competitive and are based on our professional expertise and commitment to efficient, high quality management services. Poor management can have a very high cost. We work hard to eliminate waste and strive for efficiency, to save you money.
A complete detailed written application and two forms of identification are required from each prospect. We perform the following: check with previous landlords, verify income and employment, obtain a credit report from a credit reporting agency, request proof of immigration status. Applicants must meet all requirements prior to being approved as residents and proceeding to the lease process.
A non-refundable fee of $30 per application is required to cover the costs of reviewing credit, criminal, employment, and rental history. The application fee can be paid in check, cash or money order form. The application fee is not refundable.
We specialize in the management of single family homes, multi-plexes, condos, apartments and office buildings. We manage properties for a variety of owners ranging from absentee owners to active real estate investors.
Owners are mailed a monthly report with their rent check on the 15th of each month.
We provide all residents with our 24 hour emergency phone number. These calls are picked up by an answering service. The answering service then calls the property manager on call. The manager on call will take the resident's call and determine how to proceed. Often we can solve a problem over the phone, if not the manager will contact a member of our maintenance crew or one of our vendors that is also on call 24 hours a day.
Prior to a tenant vacating the premises we will conduct a move-out inspection with the tenant. We will determine who is responsible for the costs of returning the property back to the condition it was in prior to the tenant moving in. Deductions from the tenant's security deposit will be made for any unpaid rent, required cleaning and damages beyond normal wear and tear.
Everything we do is focused on the ultimate goal of maximizing our clients' cash flow and increasing the net value of their investments. We want your business and will work hard to keep it. Our mission is to manage your property, better and more efficiently than the competition. We will custom design a management plan specifically for your property. There is no better choice for your investment and peace of mind.
Your lease prohibits making any alterations or improvements without written consent. So please contact us before making any decorative changes.
We perform the following: check with previous landlords, verify income and employment, obtain a credit report from a credit reporting agency, request proof of immigration status.
A late charge or fee is imposed to off set loses and administrative expenses.
Pets may be acceptable by some landlords. Pet privileges are at the sole discretion of Metro Property Management, as determined by the owner of the property. Service/Companion animals must be certified and are required to abide by pet policies. Certain aggressive breeds of canines are not permitted.
California law does not require landlords to provide grace periods for rent payments. If a landlord permits a grace period it will be stipulated in the rental agreement.
Prior to move-in we meet with tenants and conduct an inspection for damage and obvious wear and tear by filling out a Landlord/Tenant Checklist form. This checklist will be used as a record of the property condition upon vacating the rental unit.
Most rental agreements including ours call for rent to be paid monthly, in advance, on the first day of the month.
How and where the rent is to be paid is specified in the rental agreement.
No. If you prefer a lower-priced offer, perhaps with a better-qualified buyer and/or more attractive terms, you can accept that offer instead. Or you can give counteroffers to one or more of the buyers.
Beware, however, that if you turn down a full-priced offer, you may owe your agent a full commission even if you decide not to sell your home.
You must take into account the prevailing state of the real estate market and especially local market conditions. The real estate market continually changes, and market fluctuations affect property values. So it is critical to determine your listing price based on the most recent comparable sales in your neighborhood.
It would be a good idea to get a Home Value Request, or CMA, also known as Comparable Market Analysis.
Along with economic factors such as supply and demand, the time of year you choose to sell can impact both the length of time it takes to sell your home and its ultimate selling price.
Typically, the real estate market picks up around February, continues strong through late May and June, and tapers off during July and August. The summer is usually the busiest time for moving since school is out and buyers may be looking to get their children in school before the new school year. September through November generally marks a rally not as strong as late winter and spring, followed by a slowdown from Thanksgiving through and beyond the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
It is not recommended to sell your home any higher than the appraised value unless demand is high in your area. Ask you real estate agent which price would be right for your home. Also make sure you get a Home Value Request to assist in determining the best sales price for your home.
A report made by a qualified person setting forth an opinion or estimate of value. The term also refers to the process by which this estimate is obtained.
In conventional mortgages and in the HUD-FHA Direct Endorsement Program, the lender receives a copy of the complete report, showing the basis for the appraiser's estimate.
In VA cases and in HUD applications processed by HUD, the lender receives only a statement of the estimate of value, without any detailed supporting data.
An Exclusive Agency listing allows your agent to market your home and enter it into the MLS. The agent will receive a commission if your home sells through any real estate company or by another agent. He will NOT receive a commission if you, the seller, find a buyer on your own. Because a commission is not guaranteed, your agent may not be highly motivated to market your property. Thus, this type of listing is not common and should be avoided.
You don't need to use a commissioned real estate agent to sell your home, but you may want to consider the benefits of having a real estate agent versus not using a real estate agent.
In addition, many people would rather use an Agent due to the complexities of modern Real Estate transactions since they usually incorporate legal and financial attributes, which takes them well beyond more simple transactions, such as the sale of an automobile.
There are several advantages when using a real estate agent to sell your home, such as - your listing will be added to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) so that large numbers of buyers will have access to the seller's property. In addition, your real estate agent absorbs all of the cost of advertising and marketing, and the screening that will be done of potential buyers by Agents. The Agent will also handle the details of negotiation.
Deciding whether to use an Agent or not depends on if you feel fully confident that you can handle all of the details, then you may well want to attempt selling your house on your own. If not, you most likely will want to use a real estate agent and leave the details to them.

I would jump on it, but I suspect I'm better off to wait for the collector's edition of the game next year, which is how I got the art book for Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall.

A little boy named Joey talked a number of times about how his "other mother" had died in a car accident. One night at dinner
when he was almost four years old, he stood up in his chair and appeared pale as he looked intently at his mother and said, "You
are not my family—my family is dead." Joey cried quietly for a minute as a tear rolled down his cheek, then sat back down and
continued with his meal. His parents—and their dinner guest—sat stunned.
At the University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies, we have investigated over 2,500 cases in which young children
reported memories of past lives. Parents frequently ask us for advice on how to handle their children's statements. While each
case has individual differences, we can offer some general guidance that may be helpful.
First, it is important to know that these statements do not, by themselves, indicate mental illness. We have talked with many
families in which a child claimed to remember another set of parents, another home, or a previous death, and the children rarely
show mental health problems. These statements are generally made by children whose development appears to otherwise be just like
that of their peers. They can occur in families with a belief in reincarnation or in families where the idea of reincarnation had
never been considered before the child began making the statements.
When children talk about a past life, parents are sometimes unsure how to respond. We recommend that parents be open to what
their children are reporting. Some of the children show a lot of emotional intensity regarding these issues, and parents should
be respectful in listening just as they are with other subjects that their children bring up.
When a child talks about a past life, we suggest that parents avoid asking a lot of pointed questions. This could be upsetting to
the child and, more importantly from our standpoint, could lead the child to make up answers to the questions. It would then be
difficult or impossible to separate memories from fantasy. We do think it is fine to ask general, open-ended questions such as,
"Do you remember anything else?" and it is certainly fine to empathize with a child's statements ("That must have been scary"
when, for instance, a child describes a fatal accident).
We encourage parents to write down any statements about a past life that their children make. This is particularly important in
cases where the children give enough information so that identifying a deceased individual that they are describing might be
possible. In such a situation, having the statements recorded ahead of time would be critical in providing the best evidence that
the child actually had experienced memories from a previous life.
At the same time, parents should not become so focused on the statements that they and their children lose sight of the fact that
the current life is what is most important now. If children persist in saying they want their old family or old home, it might be
helpful to explain that while they may have had another family in a previous life, their current family is the one they have for
this life. Parents should acknowledge and value what their children have told them while making clear that the past life is truly
in the past. We do not recommend that children undergo past-life regression hypnosis.
Parents are sometimes more upset by the statements than their child is. Hearing a child describe the experience of dying in a
painful or difficult way can be hard, but both parent and child can know that the child is safe now in this life. Some parents
may be comforted to know that the vast majority of these children stop talking about a previous life by the time they are five to
seven years old. This is the age at which children become involved with school and also the age at which they lose their memories
of early childhood, and the talk about a past life fades along with those memories. Very rarely, the memories will persist into
adolescence or adulthood, though with much less intensity than during the younger years. In many cases, however, as children get
older they do not even remember that they ever talked about a past life.
Overall, parents often find children's claims to remember previous lives more remarkable than do the children, for whom the
apparent memories are simply part of their experience of life. The children then move on from the memories to lead typical

The Cayce readings seem to tell us that animals may travel with us from one lifetime to another. Although there is not much information about this subject in the readings, what is there is fascinating. Most of what we find about the reincarnation of animals in the Cayce readings, we owe to Mrs. 268. When this lady asked about her past-life relationship with her niece, Cayce told her that they had been together in a Roman experience. The woman then asked about a possible past life with her little dog, Mona. Cayce calmly replied, "In the same experience." Wanting to be certain that she understood, she asked, "In the Roman?" Cayce confirmed it and replied, "The Roman!" She followed up by asking, "Was she a dog then? Doubtlessly to the amazement of all, Cayce said that the dog had been "a lion!" (268-3)
A week later, Mrs. 268 got a reading for her husband and asked about his past relationship to Mona.
(Q) What relation is he to the little dog Mona?
(A) He fought with the body in the Roman experience.
(Q) What was Mona then?
(A) The lioness that fought with the entity, and with those that destroyed many that the entity was then seeking to aid. (280-1)
(Q) What relation is he to the little dog Mona?
(A) He fought with the body in the Roman experience.
(Q) What was Mona then?
(A) The lioness that fought with the entity, and with those that destroyed many that the entity was then seeking to aid. (280-1)
This information must have generated quite a bit of interest because other family members also asked about Mona in their readings. The woman's niece asked:
(Q) Will Mona always be a dog?
(A) That depends upon the environ and the surroundings. No. (405-1)
(Q) Will Mona always be a dog?
(A) That depends upon the environ and the surroundings. No. (405-1)
Mrs. 268's nephew also got a reading and asked about Mona.
(Q) Could a life reading be obtained through these sources for Aunt [268]'s little dog Mona?
(A) May be. As to WHAT it may be is different! It may not be understood, unless you learn dog language! (406-1)
As fascinating as all of this is, in some respects it raises more questions than it answers. Nevertheless, what it tells us adds a new dimension to our understanding not only of reincarnation but of life. The first surprise is that, according to Cayce, Mona reincarnated! She lived in Roman times and she came back in twentieth-century America. That is surprising enough. But secondly, the reading also says that Mona changed form. Although she remained an animal, she had presumably progressed from being a dangerous animal of prey to being a pet. How or why this change occurred we are not told. She remained female but reincarnated in a much smaller body. The husband's reading provides some clarification that in Rome as a lioness, Mona had fought with him and others that he was trying to help. This certainly sounds like the persecution of Christians, possibly in the Coliseum.
In the niece's reading, we continue to receive startling information about how animals reincarnate. This girl asked a wonderful question about whether Mona would always be a dog. After stating that this depends on the environment and the surroundings, Cayce said, "No," that Mona would not always be a dog. Since there is no more information on Mona's other lifetimes or whether or not animals experience interplanetary sojourns between Earth lives like we do, we can only speculate about these possibilities. How this transformation occurred from wild beast to household pet is not explained but I think that this is in keeping with Cayce's philosophy of growth and progress for all.
The nephew also asked a clever question in his reading and Cayce gave another illuminating response. When the boy asked about the possibility of getting a life reading for Mona, Cayce said that although it could be done, no one would understand it unless they learned dog language clearly implying that dog language exists. Needless to say, no one pursued this idea any further.
Ann Jaffin, MS, a former teacher, is an A.R.E. Life Member, and a forty-year
student of Edgar Cayce's work. In a stunning karmic "coincidence," Ann and
her husband discovered that 20 Cayce readings were given for their extended
family. Her book, "Past Lives and Present Karma," published by A.R.E. Press,
is a comprehensive study of reincarnation. Retired from the Federal
Government, Ann has a Masters Degree in Family and Community Development from
the University of Maryland.
In 1943, Edgar Cayce received a letter from a woman asking for a physical
reading for her four-year-old daughter. The mother described the child as
being high strung and nervous. She wrote that, sometimes after taking her
afternoon nap, the child "awakes in a lost, distraught frame of mind,
[w]rings her hands and cries ceaselessly. It seems to be a sort of seizure or
fit. I am very quiet with her and in about a half hour she becomes normal
again, and she doesn't seem to have any recollection of what troubled her."
Cayce nailed the cause of the child's distress right away. It was a quick
return. She had reincarnated too quickly and was carrying over memories and
fears from a former life during World War II, less than nine months before her
present birth.
"For, here we have a quick return - from fear, to fear through fear. [The
child should] be kept away from fear, away from loud noises, darkness, the
scream of sirens, the shouts of individuals...
For, the entity was only just coming to that awareness of [the] beauty of
associations, of friendships, of the beautiful outdoors, nature, flowers,
birds, and of God's manifestations...and then the tramping of feet, the shouts
of arms, brought destructive forces.
The entity then was only a year to two years older than in the present
experience [and] finds the world such a turmoil...in its dreams, its
visions...Then...in the name Theresa Schwalendal, was on the coasts of
Lorraine [France]. The entity only passed out and then in less than nine
months again entered a material world."
The reading closed by telling the parents how to heal the child's trauma and
promised a blessing to many people.
"Be patient. Do not scold. Do not speak harshly. Do not fret nor condemn...But
do tell [her] daily of the love that Jesus had for little children, of peace
and harmony; never those stories such of the witch, never those as of
fearfulness of any great punishment; but love, patience. This do, and we will
find a great, a wonderful soul, that has come again to bless many." (3162-1)
Because life in the earth is so very challenging, the Cayce readings state
that the longer the time period that we spend out of the earth in the
nonphysical dimensions between lifetimes, the greater our progress tends to
be. Souls who rush back to reincarnate quickly are often making it more
difficult on themselves.
"For oft, the longer the periods between the earthly sojourns the greater has
been - or may be - the development of the soul entity to that which EACH soul
IS to attain through its appearances among men." (1486-1)
Even Edgar Cayce wondered about his next lifetime. When he asked about his
next incarnation, he was told:
"As to when - it may be perhaps a hundred, two hundred, three hundred, a
thousand years - as you may count time in the present. This may not be given.
For how gave He? The day no man knoweth, ONLY the Father in heaven knoweth
it..." (294-189)

I could not begin to count the number of times over the years I have heard stories about
young people with seeming psychological traumas (including innate fears and reoccurring
nightmares) that to students of the Edgar Cayce materials would appear to be reincarnation
based. Unfortunately, almost without exception, these young people are simply treated with
medications and psychotherapy in an effort to stop "the problem." Because an understanding of
reincarnation and the way in which memory transfers from one incarnation to the next has yet to
enter into our mainstream worldview there has not been an openness to look at these issues from
the perspective of the soul rather than simply from the perspective of the mind. That is until now.
The story of downed World War II pilot James Huston reincarnating in our contemporary time as
James Leininger may do much to change the way in which parents and health care providers look
at fear, reoccurring nightmares, and the journey of the soul.
Recounted in
Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation of a World War II Fighter Pilot is the
story of two-year-old James Leininger who began having repetitive and horrific nightmares about
a man who was stuck in a plane that was on fire, crashing toward the water. He began drawing
pictures of the scene – an event that shaped many of his waking thoughts. He told his parents
that the man had been shot down. When they asked by whom, the child appeared stunned by
their ignorance and replied, "The Japanese." The child stated that he had been the man in the
plane and provided extensive details about the man, his name, James Huston, the ship he was
from and the individuals who had served with him. In time, his parents tracked down both
family and surviving servicemen who had known James Huston, and little James Leininger
provided specific information that could have only been known by Huston. The Japanese even
invited young Leininger to return to the place where his planned had been downed more than 60
years ago. The impressiveness of the tale has caused the Leininger story to be picked up by media
throughout the country, from ABC's Primetime to Fox News.
For me, the story of James Leininger is a refreshing reminder that we are eternal spiritual
beings having ongoing physical experiences in a process of personal growth and enlightenment.
There is no doubt in my mind that stories like this will become more commonplace and more
accepted, for we are on the verge of a global shift in perception and consciousness – a shift that
will lead us to truly understand our connection to one another and our relationship with the
Divine. After all, when the workings of reincarnation became the worldview then all the things
that divide us – whether religion, or power, or ideology or differences of any kind – will simply
fade away.

In an effort to utilize its speed, Southwest has been more of a spread and shotgun team these days, but the Stallions showed Friday night that they can still pound the football.
DaMonta Winbush's 2-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive in 4:28, and the Stallions pulled away for a 23-6 victory over East Duplin in an East Central 2-A Conference game.
"I never thought that we would do that against them because they are so big up front, but it was good to get," Southwest coach Phil Padgett said. "We were able to mix it up and get outside some, and that's what it came down to."
Southwest led just 8-6 when it got the ball at its own 31-yard line with 9:58 left following a punt. Aurellio Ottey set the tone for the drive on the first play with a 16-yard run to the 47.
One play later – and after a 5-yard penalty on East Duplin – sophomore quarterback Jonathan Williams ran for 12 yards to the Panthers' 33 before a late hit penalty gave the Stallions the ball at the 18.
Moments later, the Stallions faced fourth-and-7 from the 15 when Williams ran 13 yards to the 2 for a first down. Two plays later, Winbush scored to give Southwest a 14-6 lead with 5:30 left.
"We were just watching the clock and making sure we were holding onto the ball," said Winbush, a senior who finished with 37 yards on nine carries. "If we won 8-6 (that was fine). We just had to make sure we had the ball and kept running time off."
Williams credited the offensive line for the long drive.
"It came from our blocking," he said. "I feel Ray (Hettinger) and Brad (Cannon) did good tonight."
Williams ran for the ensuing two-point conversion to make it 16-6 after Southwest was called for two 5-yard penalties before the attempt. After dropping back, Williams raced down the right sideline, went around a defender and into the end zone.
"Our scheme on defense was good, we had people in spots to make tackles, but we didn't," East Duplin coach Battle Holley said. "I thought our guys played good, we just missed some tackles."
Southwest then put the game away when Jay Pouncey returned an interception 40 yards with 4:37 left to give the Stallions a 23-6 lead.
Just like that, Southwest was in control.
"We had to do some stuff out of our norm, and we throw an interception for a touchdown," Holley said. "We drive the football all night and have some penalties that hurt us, but that's part of it. I felt like we stopped ourselves on offense."
With the win, Southwest (6-2, 2-0) earned its second ECC victory in as many outings entering next week's game at Northside (5-3, 2-0).
This was the first East Duplin-Southwest meeting since the Stallions defeated the Panthers 16-0 in 2008. After this loss, the Panthers (3-5) dropped to 0-2 in the ECC entering next week's home game with Croatan.
Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the Stallions' offense came alive after Williams recovered a fumble at the Panthers 49 with 7:22 left in the third quarter. Southwest then marched 51 yards on seven plays in 2:57, capping the drive on a 2-yard touchdown run by Winbush.
Senior Isaiah Corbins then ran in the two-point conversion to give Southwest an 8-6 lead.
"We went into the locker room and we didn't let it (deficit) get in our heads," Williams said. "We came out and knew we had to get on it. We gave (Winbush) the ball more, but nothing else really changed."
The Panthers took a 6-0 lead just 2:15 into the game when junior Dauviea Anderson scored on a 28-yard touchdown run that capped a 5-play, 78-yard drive on the game's first possession.
East Duplin controlled most of the first half, out-gaining Southwest 166 to 65 on the ground before halftime. The Panthers also ran 29 plays in the first half, compared to 18 for the Stallions.
It was a first half that the Panthers wanted.
"That's what we got to do. We have to control the football," Holley said. "We drove it, but this is two weeks in a row that we couldn't finish."
East Duplin mustered just 65 yards on offense in the second half.
"We knew we didn't match up well with them and so I was real concerned," Padgett said. "They did exactly what I figured they would try to do with us. But our defense played outstanding, especially in the second half. They made the plays when they had to.
"That buck sweep by East Duplin really hurt us, but our ends just played so tough."
Now the Stallions can direct their focus on Northside, which beat Dixon 40-13 on Friday. The Southwest-Northside game features the only two teams 2-0 in the ECC.
The Stallions are excited about that one.
"Of course," Winbush said. "Tonight gave us a look at what we are going to see next week."

Many of us are aware of the recent nationwide recall of peaches and other fruit due to the potential of bacterial contamination. Although thankfully, no illnesses have been reported so far, I'd like to take this opportunity to refresh our knowledge about ways to avoid food borne illness or food poisoning.
According to The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food poisoning affects approximately 1 in 6 Americans every year. Often it results in relatively mild symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting that resolve within a day or so. However, food poisoning can also lead to more dangerous and even deadly outcomes, which is why food safety is so important!
So how should we protect our family from food borne illness? It's pretty easy! Just remember 4 basic steps: clean, separate, cook and chill!

Most of 800,000 Department of Defense civilian employees will see their workweeks shortened and their pay cut by 20 percent from late April through September, if Congress and the president, as now expected, fail to stop $46 billion in defense budget cuts set to take effect March 1.
With lawmakers on a nine-day President's Day recess, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially notified Congress Feb. 20 of the department's intent to furlough the "vast majority" of its civilian workers. This, he said, will be necessary if Democrats and Republicans continue to refuse to negotiate a "balanced" debt-reduction deal to defuse or delay the "sequestration" budget bomb built into the 2011 Budget Control Act.
The furloughs would capture about $5 billion of needed savings but would hit overall readiness along with other plans to cut stateside base operations, reduce military training except for next-to-deploy units, delay maintenance of ships, aircraft, vehicles and facilities, suspend many scheduled ship deployments and make deep cuts in aircraft flying hours.
Panetta's letter starts a 45-day clock required by law to begin the massive furlough. It gives the services and defense agencies time to recommend individuals or categories of employees for exemption from the furlough, which can mean a total of 22 days' unpaid leave through Sept. 30
Civilians working in combat zones will be exempt as will employees needed to maintain safety of life and property at defense facilities. Exemptions are expected for some civilians working intelligence too.
Also to be exempt will be 50,000 foreign nationals who work on
Most commissary employees would not be exempt, however, because their wages are paid with tax dollars. So base grocery store hours and some other family support program could be cut if sequestration occurs.
By mid-March, employees not exempt will get individual notices of likely furlough, to start in 30 days. They will have one week to appeal that decision to the federal Merit Systems Protection Board. So the first Defense civilians won't see their work hours cut until late April.
"The effects of sequestration and the continuing (budget) resolution on our military personnel will be devastating. But on our civilians, it will be catastrophic," warned Jessica Lynn Wright, acting under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
"These critical members of our workforce," added Wright, maintain and repair tanks, aircraft and ships, teach in military schools, operate day care centers and are 40 percent of staff in base hospital and clinics.
"They take care of our wounded warriors. They provide services and programs such as sexual assault prevention and suicide prevention, just to name a few," she said.
A 20-percent pay cut for five months "won't only be felt by each employee," Wright added, but also by nearby communities.
"While civilians will experience the impact directly to their wallets, our service members, retirees and families will clearly feel the effect of these actions. If sequestration is not averted, the associated furloughs will impact our war fighters, our veterans and our family members in untold ways."
At the same Pentagon press conference Wednesday, Robert F. Hale, the department's chief financial officer, urged Congress to pass a "balanced" deficit reduction package to "de-trigger sequestration" and also to pass a fiscal 2013 defense appropriation bill to replace a continuing budget resolution which has frozen defense spending below fiscal 2012 levels.
Hale dismissed the idea that Congress only needs to give Defense officials flexibility to rebalance billions of dollars between budget accounts.
"I don't think it would help that much this far into the fiscal year," Hale said. "And if it makes sequestration more likely, to either occur or persist, I think it's a bad deal, the flexibility."
Hale warned that if sequestration is triggered and stays in effect into fiscal 2014 and beyond, furloughs this year would turn into job losses and into deeper military personnel cuts, forcing leaders to draft a new defense strategy that would recognize reduced capabilities and a smaller force.
Tricare Prime rollback: Tricare Management Activity has a new online tool for retirees under age 65 and surviving spouses to verify if their Tricare Prime network will end Oct. 1, forcing them to use Tricare Standard.
With the new fiscal year, managed care networks operating beyond 40 miles of military treatment facilities or base closure sites will be halted under next-generation Tricare support contracts. The change, to impact 171,000 beneficiaries, is intended to cut Tricare costs for taxpayers.
At the website http://www.tricare.mil/psazip, Tricare users can type in their zip code and learn whether their Tricare Prime service area will exist after Sept. 30. They also can find contact information for contractors and can sign up for email alerts on additional changes planned to Tricare Prime service areas.
