Severe Weather Possible WednesdayDecember 25th, 2012 at 11:57 pm by Tiffany Savona WAVY under Weather
It was an active weather day across the South on this Christmas Day. Here is a list of the storm reports, which was captured around 11:30 PM and the count continues to increase. Red dots are tornado reports, blue dots are wind damage reports, and green dots are hail reports.
On top of all these reports, heavy snow fell across Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas. So, some folks did have a White Christmas. This dynamic storm system is moving in our direction. We will stay cloudy tonight but showers should begin to develop and move in from south by tomorrow morning. The atmosphere will become very unstable in the afternoon. A line of showers and storms will likely develop to the west of us tomorrow afternoon and move into Hampton Roads between 5-9PM. Here is what our Future Trak model looks like at 5pm on Wednesday.
The warm front is going to bring in warm and moist air to the region. Highs will be in the 60s tomorrow afternoon, but the warm weather will not last long. Hampton Roads is going to be in the "warm sector" which is the area to the south of the warm front and to the east of the cold front. The "warm sector" is the most unstable and this is typically where we watch for thunderstorm development. That is why the Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Hampton Roads, the Peninsula, the Northern Neck and the Eastern Shore in a slight risk for severe weather. A moderate risk was issued for North Carolina. This means that the POTENTIAL for severe thunderstorms exists Weds afternoon/evening if all of the ingredients are in place.
The main threats with a squall line (line of storms) will be damaging winds gusts in excess of 60mph and heavy rain. Many locations could pick up between 1-2 inches of rain with this system. An isolated tornado threat will exist for areas closest to that area of low pressure. The chance is low, but we can't rule it out since we will have plenty of wind shear. Wind shear is the change in wind direction and or wind speed with height in the atmosphere. Wind shear allows storms to rotate. There are still a lot of questions whether these storms will turn severe. Computer models keep the rain and the clouds around for most of the day. This will limit the amount of instability in the atmosphere. If we see less rain in the morning and more sunshine, then the threat for severe weather will be going up. Moisture values will be higher across North Carolina, so that is why the risk for severe weather is slightly higher there. Think of it as if you are cooking. If you are missing just one ingredient, then the finished product will not turn out as expected. All the ingredients need to be in place in order for these storms to develop. We will keep you posted.
Jeff will have more updates starting at 4:30 AM. Make sure to tune in.

Barrow arson blaze could have been 'far more serious'
Last updated at 16:27, Wednesday, 29 January 2014
A SENIOR firefighter has said that a blaze started outside an empty Barrow flat could have been "far more serious"
Four people were trapped in the blaze after an arsonist set fire to the front door of an empty flat in Low White Close, Ormsgill.
The fire spread from the empty flat to adjoining properties.
Crew manager of Redwatch, Steve Harrison, said: "This was a very dangerous thing to do. The fire was only small and we quickly extinguished it when we arrived, but it had created a disproportionate amount of smoke.
"It could have easily spread to the flat and its contents if it had been burning for a little longer and then we could have been looking at a far more serious situation.
"The guys did a first class job."
Four people were trapped inside the block of eight flats because the corridors had filled with smoke.
Three fire engines - two from Barrow and one from Walney - attended the scene.
When crews arrived an elderly resident was shouting for help out of his windows.
The crews quickly dealt with the blaze before sending two firefighters into the building to search for occupants and to inspect the flat which had been targeted.
Four people were led to safety and everyone inside the buildings was accounted for and were checked over by paramedics.
The fire service were called at 11.59pm on Monday.
Police were called at 12.07am.
The fire had been dealt with by 12.39am.

Have your say
People of Barrow wake up and take some action before this is decided otherwise someone will get seriously injured due to a lack of fire cover taken into account the time and distance to get the correct response to arrive at a incident within the town.
Just look at the size of the Town population below and ask yourself why Barrow will only have one fire engine available in the Town whilst the other four Towns will have two fire engines available.
Whitehaven â 23,810
Workington - 25,444
Penrith â 15,487
Ulverston â 11,678
Barrow â 56,745
To me it looks like Furness has taken the brunt of the fire service cuts for the county.
i.e. Dalton Fire Station Closed, one Fire Engine from Barrow to replace a Fire Engine in Ulverston so Barrow down to just the one Engine. The only acceptable change for the Town should be a part time crew to be available in Barrow Fire Station 24/7 so we still have 2 Engines (1 full time and 1 pat time) why is this good enough for Whitehaven, Workington, Penrith, and Ulverston all towns smaller then Barrow. Yes we have Walney close by however they regularly fail to crew that appliance during daylight hours this is a one off) and if thereâs a bridge lift then a Barrow engine has to go onto the island leaving Barrow without any fire cover unless they take an engine away from Ulverston.
These proposals are just about guaranteed to happen, other towns have had petitions going for months (Penrith 20 thousand but only 15 thousand population) looks like its who shouts the loudest get the result.
Does this not show how necessary it is to keep the Fire Service we currently have and deserve?

The Mobil Producing Nigeria on Sunday deployed its men and equipment to tackle a spill at its Ibeno operations in Akwa Ibom.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) who visited the Atlantic coastline in Ibeno, reports that the spill, which started on Friday, has hit the shoreline.
Oily sediments have deposited on the shoreline in Ibeno, Esit Eket, Eastern Obollo and other settlements along the coast.
Heavy equipment, chemicals, hoses and oil spill containment equipment were being moved from the jetty to the fields.
Youths from the host communities were seen agitating to be hired for the cleanup exercise.
The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency confirmed that the firm reported on Nov. 9 that 100 barrels of crude had discharged into the ocean at the Qua Iboe fields.
NAN gathered that a joint inspection visit to the spill site by community representatives, regulatory authority and Mobil has been scheduled for Monday.
Mr Idris Musa, the Director of Oil Spill Response at NOSDRA told NAN that the agency had dispatched its men to the spill site.
According to him, the team is to take samples of the crude deposits for tests.
The firm had in a statement on Sunday confirmed the spill and pledged to mitigate the impact on the environment.
The statement signed by Mr Paul Arinze, the Manager of Communications and Government Relations, regretted the spill and said it was collaborating with community representatives and regulators of the industry.
"MPN, operator of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC/MPN) Joint Venture, confirms that on Nov. 9, an oil release occurred, offshore Akwa Ibom State.
"The source of the leak was identified and the pipeline was isolated and shutdown, emergency response personnel and equipment have been deployed.
"Regulatory and community representatives have been notified," it said.
The statement also said the firm had arranged for representatives of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), NOSDRA, Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Environment and local community to overfly the area.
It will be recalled that two oil spills occurred at the Qua Iboe oil fields on Aug. 13 and Aug. 24. (NAN)

"Police Officers"
They put their lives on the line everyday
These men and women who we should thank
Instead we hurl accusations at them
We yell at them for mistakes we make
We kill them
They have one of the highest stress rates
Suicide rates
Divorce rates
And we have the nerve to beat them down
They save our lives everyday
But all we think about is how they are pulling us over
To give us a ticket, making us late
You are the real-life heroes of our time
Thank you for doing a thankless job
Thank you for making our streets safe
For us, for our kids.
For me.
Dawn Towlson

66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD
In the 1970s a new dawn in architecture was christened 'High Tech'. Rejecting the wet and messy world of bricks and concrete, it was an approach to building with an eye on the future.
From factory buildings across Europe, the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong and the Lloyds Building in London, it was an approach that revelled in modern materials, engineering and structural daring and where air ducts, service cores, as much as steel trusses and cross-braces, became part of the visual articulation of a building. But where did this style come from and what inspired its creation?
RIBA charts the diverse origins and landmarks of High Tech with an evening of talks, film and events devoted to high performance and high drama!
Part of a season of exhibitions and events inspired the BBC series The Brits Who Built the Modern World #BritsExhibition

THURSDAY - January 13, 2011
RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced that in federal court United States District Judge James C. Dever III, sentenced MARK DAVIS PRIDGEN, 62, of Wilson, North Carolina, received 18 months' imprisonment followed by three years' supervised release, with the first 18 months of supervised release to be under house arrest. Additionally, the Court ordered PRIDGEN to pay restitution to the following entities in the following amounts:
USDA/Risk Management Agency - $10,079,814,
Rural Community Insurance Company - $188,014,
American Agri-Business Insurance Company - $13,007.
PRIDGEN received a significant reduction in his sentence based upon his cooperation in the federal crop insurance fraud investigation in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
A Criminal Information, filed by the United States Attorney's Office on October 9, 2009, charged PRIDGEN. On October 21, 2009, PRIDGEN pled guilty to conspiring to make false statements, to making material false statements, to committing mail fraud and wire fraud, and to conspiring to launder money.
PRIDGEN, along with farmers, warehousemen, crop insurance adjusters, crop insurance agents, and others, worked together to defraud crop insurance companies of funds by filing false loss claims; to defraud the United States government through the filing of false insurance claims ultimately reimbursed by the United States Department of Agriculture; by making material false statements in connection with the Federal Crop Insurance program; and to launder the proceeds and profits of the underlying fraud.
From 1987 to 1992, PRIDGEN was a partner in Beaufort Leaf Tobacco Company, a company formed for the purpose of buying and selling tobacco. In 1992, 1993, and 1998, PRIDGEN was an officer of Tobacco Insurance Agency, Inc., a North Carolina Corporation, formed for the purpose of selling crop insurance.
PRIDGEN and other co-conspirators worked with the farmers to make false crop insurance claims, and to hide some or all of their tobacco production by selling it in nominee names or for cash to co-conspiring warehousemen. The co-conspiring farmer profited under the scheme because he was paid twice for each pound of tobacco: once through the false crop insurance claim, and also through the sale of the "hidden" tobacco. Other co-conspirators profited through other aspects of the double sales scheme, including the original insurance commission, collecting a share of the hidden tobacco's second sale, and profit margins derived from subsequent sales to larger tobacco companies.
PRIDGEN himself bought "hidden" tobacco and sold the tobacco on contracts secured in other conspirators' names. At the time, PRIDGEN knew those other persons were not, in fact, farming. PRIDGEN used the proceeds from the sale of "hidden" tobacco to pay off farmers and to continue to buy "hidden" tobacco for sale on the false contracts.
PRIDGEN, who has not held a valid insurance license since 1991, sold federal multi-peril crop insurance and private crop hail insurance through The Hallmart Agency, Inc., and received commissions earned on the policies he sold. The commission payments to him were disguised by being paid through business entities in his wife's name. Between 2003 and 2006, The Hallmart Agency, Inc. paid entities belonging to PRIDGEN and his wife at least $429,790.57.
In total, PRIDGEN received in excess of $647,000 in criminal proceeds from the various fraud schemes.
There have been 21 other persons charged in connection with the scheme to defraud the Federal Crop Insurance Program. Those defendants have been sentenced or are awaiting sentencing in the upcoming months.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General, Risk Management Agency, Special Investigations Branch, and the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigations. Assistant United States Attorney Banumathi Rangarajan handled the prosecution on behalf of the government.
News releases are available on the U. S. Attorney's web page at www.usdoj.gov/usao/nce within 48 hours of release.

RedXDefense announced today a 37% reduction in the price of the narcotics sampling cards for the XCAT handheld detection system. In addition, the company has released a new gunshot residue sampling card with an adhesive strip to further improve sample collection. Law Enforcement Agencies in 26 states and 9 countries are now successfully using the XCAT.
Tested and approved, the XCAT appears on the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Forensic Science's list of Approved Presumptive Field Tests for the Detection of Drugs and has been verified by the National Forensic Science Technology Center (NFSTC) to accurately detect the presence of commonly encountered illicit drugs.
Key attributes contributing to the XCAT's popularity include the following:
• Narcotics, Explosives and GSR detection in a single platform.
• Rapid red light/green light response.
• No glass ampoules, no color charts, no spraying, no chemical exposure
• Trace detection.
• Rugged and simple to use.
• No calibration
• Less than 1 pound
• Rechargeable Li-ion battery with 7 hour battery life.
• Verification standards provided.
• Field upgradeable for new threats.
The XCAT uses detection cards with specially formulated detection inks and software to identify characteristics unique to each individual or group of chemically related substances and returns a simple red or green light signal to the user. No libraries to match or update. Uses include: sampling trace or bulk narcotics, gunshot residue testing, clearing unattended bags, testing mail or packages at incoming inspection, and vehicle inspection at entry points.

Marketing Information
The WAP2000 is a Wireless Access Point ideal for small businesses that want to expand their existing wired networks or create new wireless networks for the workforce or guests. It features RangeBooster technology that is compatible to standard 802.11g but with a range up to two times farther and throughput by up to 35% faster. Unlike ordinary wireless technologies that are hampered by wireless signals that reflect off walls, ceilings, and other objects, RangeBooster uses these multiple signals with two smart receivers at each end (router or access point and client adapter) to boost range and throughput speeds. As a result, a RangeBooster solution reduces or eliminates wireless signal dead spots in offices and other buildings so users can connect to the network in more areas. The WAP2000 comes with 3 dBi antennas for increased power, also helping to extend the range of the Access Point.

Olivia Wilde Talks Vagina Death, Marathon Sex, and Legalized Prostitution
It's not a bad idea.
The Seven Year Itch is pretty well documented. It even got its own movie! So even though actress Olivia Wilde massively overshared about her sex life with boyfriend Jason Sudeikis during a monologue at These Girls, hosted by Glamour magazine, she made some interesting points.
Olivia was married to Tao Ruspoli for eight years. Toward the end, she said in her monologue (via Vulture), she felt like her "vagina died" — and a woman just can't lie to her vagina. Then she met Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis and fell wildly in love with him. Now, she says, "We have sex like Kenyan marathon runners." But she's worried it won't last, so she said in her Utopian Olivia Land, "relationships can legally only last seven years, without an option to renew. That way it never goes stale. Can you imagine, if we only had seven years? We'd be so nice to each other, so kind, and appreciative and enthusiastic, like we were eating a really expensive bowl of pasta!" True!
Olivia Land would also legalize prostitution and everyone would be free of body hair and menstrual cramps. If she had just come up with all of this in a normal interview, it would be bizarre. But as a monologue, it's pretty good.
What do you think of the idea of ending relationships after seven years?

Figurines and sculptural items may be washed by hand, using warm water and a mild liquid detergent applied with a soft, damp cloth. On items with intricate details and small-sculpted parts such as hand-sculpted flowers, it is best to use a small, soft make-up brush instead of a cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or powders for cleaning. Do not submerge the product or get water inside the hole(s) in the base. Dry the larger, open areas with a soft cloth. Allow intricate or delicate details to air dry. Be sure the item is completely dry before returning to display area.

Standing Out Amid the Sprawl: A chat with AFH Atlanta
Chandra Farley is one of the organizers of the Atlanta's Architecture for Humanity chapter, and as a professional event manager, often leads the charge for chapter outreach.
AFH_Atlanta recently participated in the Modern Atlanta exhibition event, a well respected event in Atlanta among design and architecture professionals - and interested citizens!
Chandra took the time out of her packed schedule to speak with us about how the exhibition went, as well as giving us some insight into the chapter and the work they do.
Through June 30 we are raising money for our Chapter network.
If you like this interview, consider donating directly to the Atlanta Chapter to support their work.
Headquarters: I'm curious to hear about the event that you guys did last week – can you tell me a bit about what that was and how it went?
Chandra Farley: Last week we were exhibiting at a Modern Atlanta event, where a bunch of design and architecture organizations/firms show their work. Modern Atlanta is an organization that has been promoting modern design here for the past six years. They've been big supporters of ours.
We showed our OASIS project, which we began work on five years ago. It started with an open call design competition to design bus shelters for MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority), and we finally got enough submissions to select a winner in 2011. We spent 2012 fundraising and refining the design from 'awesome competition design' to something we can actually build. Last year we were able to build a prototype, which is what we exhibited at the Modern Atlanta design exhibition.
HQ: What kind of reception did it get? Were there a lot of people at this event that could see it?
CF: There are usually a couple hundred people at the event and a number of exhibitors coming in and out who can engage with the shelter. It's been great exposure for that project and just in general. We always make great connections at these events (the challenge, of course, is keeping in touch with them)
For the past three or four years, we've also used this event as a platform to launch the Birdhouse Social, our annual fundraiser. It's become a well-known event in the design and non-profit communities here, and people really look forward to it. It's been a great way to connect with designers and get donations.
The birdhouse social was started by one of our former chapter volunteers. We put out an open artists call for the community (and architecture firms) to design and build birdhouses that we auction off at the event. It's our biggest fundraiser and it's grown every year.

HQ: That's great! And once it's installed I imagine you guys will get more recognition and may even be able to do the competition again, but more quickly or on a larger scale. Would that be something you'd all be interested in?
CF: Absolutely! The intent was for this to be an annual event but … we're a small group and reality kicked in. Once we picked out the design we had it priced out at $500, it wound up being more like $1400. It was a challenge.
As soon as we can get one installed on site and really be able to count it as complete, we'll be able to move forward and relaunch the competition.
We got really great interest the second time we put out the call for submissions (when I came on board): we went from two to seven.
The final design is amazing! There are actually six different configurations for the shelter - which was the point. All of the potential sites are different – some of them have a concrete pad, some are just a street, etc., and the design makes it easy to install anywhere. Also, it only takes about thirty minutes to put together, so it's easy.
The submissions came from around the country, so I'm really excited to know that the word had spread. I think access to transit is something we all deal with, and this competition has the potential to engage our broader network.
HQ: That's really interesting to hear that they were coming in from all over – do you know how these people heard about the competition?
CF: We had one come in from DC, which (we think) was from someone who had lived in Atlanta and was familiar with us. We also had a submission from southern California belonging to a student who had ties to Atlanta and had been following the chapter.
We definitely think this [competition] is something we'll be able to deploy through the chapter network as a way to engage our partners.
HQ: For such a small group you guys seem to pull together really well, you must be a tight group. What's the dynamic of the chapter?
CF: Like with any volunteer organization, there were some great people who started the organization (in May 2009). But, like other groups, we're small and get frustrated with each other sometimes. Keeping up with and just being understanding each other's schedules can be hard.
We've been effective by being interdisciplinary, open, and making sure that our supporters know that you don't have to be an architect to be engaged and support us/our efforts. Most of us are either interested in architecture peripherally (as in, we studied it in school but don't practice) or are directly involved in the field. We try to find the things that the volunteers are interested in and make sure they understand that it's okay to just do a little.
One way we stay effective is to make sure that when someone brings something to us that would further our local mission, we support it. That's been key to our success.
Social justice and humanitarian actions are things we can champion to help us continue operating as we are - which is basically a mini non-profit. We've been really fortunate to have some great people work with us.
Members and volunteers participating in a cleanup at the Atlanta Beltline, a patch of trails around the city.
HQ: You all have a very specific set of objectives that you outline in your About Us page - how is the work you do informed by them?
1. Engage the local community through educational outreach initiatives.
2. Lead volunteers in programs that advocate environmentally responsible stewardship as well as microeconomic development.
3. Resolve instances of disaster and poverty while assuaging socioeconomic hardship and restoring human dignity.
CF: These were drafted after the chapter was founded, when the question for us was how localize Architecture for Humanity's mission. For example, we do respond to disaster (objective three), but here in Atlanta that's on a socioeconomic level. The OASIS project is a great example of that: democratizing access to transit.
For locational outreach, we do local initiatives like our spring "dine like you give a damn". It's a three-course dinner where each course is about one of our projects. While everyone is eating, a project representative gets up and gives a brief overview of the project and its goal.
We also lead programs that encourage environmental stewardship and microeconomic development. I work at an organization called Southface Energy Institute (an environmental profit), so we host our meetings there and partner with them for educational opportunities.
We really try to realize these core objectives through projects, events and outreach - that's how classify everything we do.
HQ: Sort of moving to a different topic altogether, you guys have a very interesting project in Nigeria, the Hope Floats Initiative. Can you tell us a bit about that?
Hope Floats was one of the first projects the chapter took on. It was brought to us by Akin, one of our members, who's from Nigeria. His idea was to create this floating clinic where surgeries can be carried out (by his dad, a surgeon and his colleagues).
It was meant to demonstrate a bottom up approach to sustainable development. There are a lot of land issues in that area, so there were a number of issues we had to take into account when designing that project. AFH Atlanta volunteers actually built a prototype and tested it out in one our nearby lakes to make sure it would float. Akin took it from there and went through quite a few challenges, but eventually got some amazing funding and successfully deployed one in Lagos.
They've actually done 22 free surgeries there! Since that success Akin's been looking to expand that model and his organization in general. He's relocated to Houston, so we've been a little out of touch, but the initial goals of the project have been met and I know he's working to continue that.
HQ: Any message for the other chapters? Words of wisdom?
CF: Just stick with it. We're all here because we believe in the mission. I think that if you outline some goals - it may be one, it may be three - and just stay engaged, things will work. Partnering with like-minded (or not!) organizations is helpful, too.
As long as there's a face and focus towards the community, you'll always find the support to keep going.
Hope, officially afloat!
Chandra Farley and the other AFH_Atlanta members are looking forward to continuing their work in the city through local outreach initiatives - and we look forward to seeing it!
Make a donation to the Atlanta Chapter and say I Love Architecture.

Twitch of the Death Nerve (Italian: Ecologia del delitto, also known as Blood Bath, A Bay of Blood and Reazione a catena), is a 1971 Italian horror film directed by Mario Bava. Bava cowrote the screenplay with Giuseppe Zaccariello, Filippo Ottoni and Sergio Canevari, with story credit given to Dardano Sacchetti and Franco Barberi. The film stars Claudine Auger, Luigi Pistilli and Laura Betti. Carlo Rambaldi created the gruesome special makeup effects. The story details the simultaneous murderous activities of several different characters as they each attempt to remove any human obstacles that stand in the way of an inheritance. Easily Bava's most intensely violent film, its emphasis on graphically bloody murder set pieces was hugely influential on the slasher film subgenre that would follow a decade later. In 2005, the magazine Total Film named Twitch of the Death Nerve one of the 50 greatest horror films of all time.

Shoppers Would Rather Stare At Their Phones Than Talk To A Salesperson
When you're shopping at a store in the real world, would you rather have a conversation with a sales associate or look up information on your own mobile phone? The results of a study by the Consumer Electronics Association will shock nobody who has ever received inaccurate or misleading information from a salesperson, or had to get away from an aggressive salesperson who wants nothing more than to close a sale.

Widow Brings Husband's Cremains To T-Mobile Store, Still Can't Get Account Canceled
T-Mobile just doesn't want to let its customers go. We've shared stories of customers whose survivors couldn't get a line shut down after they died, and survivors asked to keep a phone line open so they could hear a loved one's voice. This isn't a problem unique to T-Mobile USA, apparently: a widow in Cardiff, Wales brought her late husband's ashes to the store after they refused to close out her husband's line. [More]

Smartphones are tiny devices filled with delicate electronics, and ought to be coddled and shielded to ensure their safety…right?

These things rendered it completely unusable, right? Nope. [More]
Our Phone Service Disappears Entirely, Sprint Is Completely Helpless
Jay has tried everything that he can think of to get through to Sprint. After being a customer for more than a decade and living in the same house for four years with no phone reception issues, suddenly they started dropping calls at home. Their phones have been pretty much unusable for two months now. Since they don't have a landline and phone access is kind of what they're paying Sprint for, they're just sad and tired and discouraged. They want help. They want to make some phone calls. [More]
The First Mobile Phone Call Was Made 40 Years Ago Today
You talk to it everyday, stroke it, keep it close by when you sleep and use it to share your world with those close to you.

And it all started 40 years ago with the first public call made from a mobile phone. [More]
Verizon Thinks My Wife Spent 10-Hour Roaming Call Talking To Co-Worker's Voice Mail
RL isn't arguing that his wife made a roaming call to a co-worker from a hotel in Venice, Italy. His dispute with Verizon wireless is regarding how long that call was. His wife says that it was ten minutes long. Verizon counters that it was ten hours and nine minutes. Considering that the call was to a voice mail box, that must have been an epic, almost close to the the actual meaning of the word "epic," voicemail. [More]
Anthony Clark Is Calling From My Virgin Mobile Phone. I Am Not.
Who is Anthony Clark? Steve doesn't know him, but for some reason, that's what the Caller ID on his mobile phone says when he places calls.

My Virgin Mobile Phone Fails At Basic Phone Functions.
It doesn't matter what Virgin Mobile tells Steve to do. It doesn't fix his phone. Callers can't reach him, text messages take hours to go through, and his phone generally fails at all of the normal functions of a phone. We're pretty sure phones are supposed to do all of those things. [More]
Is A $19/Month Smartphone Through Republic Wireless Right For You?
Yeah, the future is here, and everyone above the age of eight seems to be wandering around with smartphones in their pockets. Maybe you've put off joining the mobile-computing revolution because you didn't want to spend $100 per month for a voice and data plan. How about $19 per month for a smartphone with unlimited voice, texting, and data? That's what Republic Wireless offers, and many consumers find this intriguing. The problem is that you pretty much get what you pay for. Or is that an advantage? [More]
T-Mobile Gives Us 1 Bar Of Service At Home, Still Charges $600 ETF To Leave
JD and his family moved to a different town in the same state, but T-Mobile didn't have great reception in their new home. They had only one bar of service, but T-Mobile customer service staff assured the family that the service would get better. It didn't. When his wife's phone broke, they upgraded her phone and his son's phone after assurances from the salesperson that having new, advanced smartphones would improve their reception. They did not. What the family would really like now, a year later, is to quit their T-Mobile contract and get on with their lives. That's not an option without an early termination fee. [More]
Banned From Boost Mobile's Facebook Page For Telling Other Customers How To Get Actual Help
Nick likes Boost Mobile, but he needed some help from the company. He tried to call them, but was cast into phone-prompt purgatory. He sought solace and support from other frustrated Boost customers on their Facebook page, and the admin scolded him for "spamming" the page. When a simple Google search turned up a number where he could find a live rep, he shared this information with the masses. And got banned from the company's Facebook page. [More]
Sprint Salesman Offers 25% Off To Get Me To Switch, Forgets To Mention I'm Not Eligible
William assumed that the mobile phone kiosk salesman was acting as an agent of Sprint, trying to get him to switch. The offer was too good to refuse: 25% off, without having to work for a specific employer or any other qualification. They paid an ETF to Verizon and jumped ship. That's when they learned that the discount wasn't for just anyone: it was an employee discount, and William didn't work for the company the salesman had claimed that he did. [More]

Perhaps The 8th And 9th Replacement Phones We Send You Won't Be Defective
Garland and her husband have the same Android smartphone from Virgin Mobile, the Motorola Triumph. It's supposed to be a pretty nice phone, and wasn't cheap, but both of their phones had some issues. So get a warranty replacement and be on your way, right? Only it wasn't just one replacement. Garland is now about to receive her fourth replacement phone, and her husband his third. That's a total of seven defective phones so far. The phones suffer from a variety of problems, ranging from random reboots to poor reception to–worst of all–not recharging at all for no clear reason. They'd like Virgin to perhaps consider sending them a different, less crappy phone next time. They won't. [More]
You Must Pay Your T-Mobile Bill In Person, In Cash, Forever
If I've learned anything from reading readers' letters, it's that I should never get divorced. Or married. Or die. All of these seemingly routine life changes confuse companies so badly that you'd think they had never happened before. But Jake, a longtime T-Mobile customer, has been cast into a special consumer hell after his divorce. His ex canceled the credit card he had used to set up automatic payments, and reversed his payments to the phone company. So they charge him the balance on his next bill, he pays it, and all is well, right? I mean, he's a 7-year customer with no late payments. It's not like he's a credit risk or anything. Except….he is now. And he has to pay his T-Mobile bills in cash, in person, for the remainder of his contract. [More]

Unfortunately, in two out of three cases the leeches showed an obvious preference to the garlicky arm, attaching to it in 14.9 seconds, compared to 44.9 seconds for the bare arm. In an article published in the Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association, the researchers concluded that garlic may attract vampires rather than repel them and that restrictions on garlic use might be considered in order to avoid Balkan-like developments in Norway.
Oregano is an herb whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word meaning "joy of the mountains." And it is joyful indeed to think that your spaghetti sauce or pizza, flavored with this bold, peppery herb, can help keep you free from infections.
"Herbs and spices are incredibly potent antioxidants," Blatner said. "In terms of herbs, [oregano] is the highest in antioxidant compounds."
The antioxidant activity in oregano is due to its high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids, color compounds that are also anti-inflammatory. When eaten, oregano can protect against the common cold, influenza, fevers and indigestion.
But oregano is rarely eaten alone, and the combination of the herb and other foods may contribute to its disease-fighting abilities.
"It could be a synergistic effect," said Mary Beth Kavenagh, an instructor in the department of nutrition at Case Western Reserve University. She also pointed out that oregano is often eaten with immune-boosting garlic and tomatoes, which contain vitamin C, beta carotene and leutine, all of which benefit the body.
Topically, oregano has antimicrobial properties, guarding against bacteria. Scientists have plans to tap this property by using oregano to create thin wraps for covering fresh food to protect it from spoiling.
Bell peppers are part of the nightshade family and originated in South America before spreading to Europe and the rest of the world. Bell peppers are both low in calories and dense in nutrients. They are a good source of phytochemicals as well as beta carotenes and vitamin C.
In fact, gram for gram, red bell peppers have twice the vitamin C of most vitamin C-containing fruits and vegetables, Blatner said, including oranges.
Linus Pauling, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, was an advocate of megadoses of supplemental vitamin C to prevent colds. Whether vitamin C is effective at preventing a viral infection that will cause a cold is under debate and hasn't been fully proved or disproved.
But research has gone far enough to show that increasing vitamin C intake can reduce the length of time cold symptoms last as well as reduce the severity of those symptoms.
And experts are not huge proponents of supplemental vitamin C.
"The best way to get vitamin C is through food," La Puma said.
The FDA recommends getting about 90 milligrams of vitamin C each day, which is easily obtainable through daily meals. A half cup of raw red bell pepper contains 142 milligrams of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is known to maintain the skin, which is the body's first line of defense against microbes and viruses of all kinds. Vitamin C may also help to increase white blood cell count as well as antibody production.
Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, after water, and to great effect. Tea is rich in polyphenols -- plant antioxidants -- as well as a number of other chemicals that can help protect the body against cold or flu.

John Pearse is a small string company, known quite well in bluegrass circles. Great strings!
These strings are amazing! I usually use coated strings but decided to try these John Pearse strings out one day. If you are use to playing coated strings, then you in for a strange change at first. But the first thing I said after playing these strings was, "Wow these are going to the studio with me a.s.a.p". These strings also are great for rhythm playing and lead guitar work. As a bluegrass picker, I need strings that can take the punishment that my 2.0mm guitar pick dishes out. These strings handle everything I throw at them. You gotta try these strings out!
I Just got these strings and I love them. They sound just as good as the Elixirs I had on my guitar and cost a lot less. At first the tone is really bright, but then after a day or two you get a great deep bass. At the store where I got them all the acoustics come with them on. They're amazing
