I would like for most of the good items not need to be bought with gold. or have other ways to earn gold through the game then them promotions(wtf)
Plz tell Me how to get Gold for free
I am a multi millionaire in coins . No Gold Make all things available by coin and use Gold to donate to charities aor allow coins to be traded in for gold.
If you would like to collect gold for free on Tagged.com, how about giving the earn gold offers a try? There fun, easy to complete and you can get some pretty good deals on products online and off.
How do you convert your gold to pets cash? I see where you can buy gold, earn gold, and a tab for my gold. I have 38 pieces of gold and there is a promo that says each gold is worth 100,000,000,000 today. How do I convert it?
I buy a lot of gold and have had so much trouble with it....Too often it takes several days or even weeks to recieve it. And now it is so hard to contact tagged about problems. I see a place to send an email but I have tried to do that without sucess several times..... Please help make it easier to contact someone when there is a problem...
Tagged tries to animate us as customers, to be very busy with just their community...isnt that very obvious? What is the most important for the TV Program Managers, hum?
Here is the same system,lol.
I will not wonder if this message will not even be allowed to be publicated and maybe my profile and cafe be deleted. In that case I already say good bye and a happy new year. But in case of not...then I have got one more reason that it might be possible that democracy is not just a word. Good luck fellows, lol. ;-)
Please am new here and I lost,please teach me how to buy and sell gold, please am interested thanks
why cant we get free gold? And when I hire thre's confusion with the names on each person's head, it a bit untidy to have the names hanging, cant something be done to make this a tidier place of work and play?
i tryto get mygold from the sites and sometimes the site does not give it to me what con be done about it there should be a way to get all the gold that is owed to you can yuo give some advice to get ti email@example.com
i didnt recieve my gold i just order a few mins ago i order 20 dolaars worth and didnt recieve it
i just purchased $20 worth of gold and didn't receive credit for it... i double checked the transaction went through in my bank account and it shows that it did... what's going on and how can it be fixed... i want my gold or my money back, asap...!!!!!!!!!!
i agree tagged should insure that you get what you paid for i have had problems getting my gold too........maybe we need to report to somebody else
Hi ... My name is Steve ... a day ago a bought Gold for 20.00 dollars and i was double Charged in my account please would someone let me know when it will be taken care of ... Thanks Steve ...
What about the fact I don't recieve any of GOLD OFFERS about 2 month, can do something with this?
i bought gold 200,000 then i did not receive it ....but it says my gold suspended..why it happens?
how to remove suspension? i did write tagged...i hope they will removed suspension
I completed an offer for gold but never received the gold. What am I to do? I signed up for arthritis connect hours ago!
Can someone tell me who do comment to about earn gold? If tagged isnt giving earn gold im afraid to purchase some. Maybe tagged should give free gold for loggins, instead of offers, not to mention the ones you didnt request. Tagged i know you being paid for offers completed, atleast give the gold promised.
I order 2 magazines,Peoples and Entertainment couple weeks ago and they came Saturday in my home mail box.I have a 30 days free trial and if I like I have to pay $28.00 monthly.I have not pay yet cause I was suppose to get 7000 gold which I never got...Tagged where is my gold????
Have done several offers, and most do not award the gold. i have contacted support, but thats a joke. they run you in circles, and blame it back on tagged. tagged claims they have nothing to do with it. Tagged must make profit off of the adds, so you would think they would do somthing about tagged users getting scammed. Most of these offers just want your email address so you end up getting spammed by numerous companies, and you never do get the gold.
Can you please put better offers for gold, when I click on the banners nothing comes up. Some of the pages wont allow you to go to offer. I've run out of offers.
I am not able to receive gold. It was blocked, why is that? How to unblocked?
I did a earned gold offer for 900 gold during the last promostion for the 11-13th. Now I don't see anything under earn gold and last it said my gold was pending....... I sat there for an hour filling out that offer and anwsering the questions and I know tagged gets paid for those offers. I completed the offer and used my tagged email account to do it.
I have opened a few offers and completed them but have recieved no gold. bubble shooter, free personal test, offer x m&s, offer x i-pad 2,and lcd tv's, please sort this out
Most often when I try to get the free gold from videos nothing is reported and no Gold is received...
Why Why Why and how does Tagged think that one would try the registratiion or even buy items to get Gold when not even the free Gold doesn't work ????
As most of the time Tagged is a disaster.. please don't delete my account for saying that only..
i bought gold also and it gave me the gold but want to verify my email but never sent anything to my email what do i do now
Confirm your account
Click on the link inside the confirmation email we sent to paul.....ataoldotcom i got this but never got a mail back nor my gold very angry
this money has already been taken out of my account i just checked it now i need the gold i payed for or refund my money now .i don't like playing your silly games u don't take my money and not give me my gold. fix this now it is my account or it would not show up as taken out. as u can see there is no confirmation link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vicki smith
I refill my energy with gold, I did not get energy but it was deducted on my gold balance. pls. tagged fix this problem. this happened to me many times.
I have problem with ticket that I bought gold for my 2 profiles. Tagged sent me ticket link to click. I clicked it and it saying
Error: You are not authorized to view this Ticket (#16083-127236).
I did tried few times and it came out same thing.
Now gold price is in USD and its rather too expensive for me and other from malaysian due to the exchange rate. I would like to suggest that the rate is follow to individual country. People from
Malaysia to charge in Ringgit Malaysia. Singapore in Singapore Dollar etc...
eg. 400,000 Gold for $200 usd but for malaysian country we pay $200 RM (Ringgit Malaysia)
200,000 Gold for $100 usd $100 RM
75,000 Gold for $ 50 usd $ 50 RM
25,000 Gold for $ 20 usd $ 20 RM
10,000 Gold for $ 10 usd $ 10 RM
2,500 Gold for $ 5 usd $ 5 RM
I do hope that tagged will consider at my suggestion so that we can also purchase gold to play
games in tagged.
i bought gold with paypal and success but i haven't yet got the gold..
would you like to give me information about this situaion please?
i don't know how to ask about this...
thank you

I spent several years of my life working in the TV news business. As a result, I am an avid watcher of TV news.
With the recent flooding rains, some may say an article about how to prepare for a natural disaster such as storms from a hurricane is a little too late.
I keep adding to a long list of things I will one day have to explain to my grandchildren.
"I really feel blessed," a sister-in-law said while reviewing for us the situation in her flooded home in Gwinnett County.
Fall begins in the Northern Hemisphere at 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 22. So, what does this time and date mean as it relates to your landscape? Not much.
I don't want to compare myself to Congressman Joe Wilson, but I understand a thing or two about speaking out in public venues.
The establishment process for fescue can be divided into three areas. The first, soil preparation which is generally most important; the second involves proper seeding; and the third includes care and maintenance for two to four weeks after planting.
He was a little boy about 4 years old. I don't know his name, but his face is forever etched in my mind.
Yes, I did write about expressing gratitude just a couple of weeks ago, but after the Sept. 8 Community Picnic and several other occasions, I feel the urge to do it in more detail. I am sure you can make your own (different) personal list.
Leyland Cypress trees have become very popular in the past 10 years. The following article by Willie Chance, University of Georgia extension agent from Houston County, gives and excellent overview of common disease problems of Leyland Cypress.
Last week, I delivered my annual "State of the Barbecue" address.
I have, frankly, been "turned off" by the yelling and name-calling, which has punctuated the supposed town hall meetings and the debate about health care reform. But it has reminded me that I have long been opposed to the derogatory use of labels to characterize those who do not agree with one's own point of view.
Sanitation is an important and often overlooked practice to control diseases in the home orchard. Many fruits can be grown more successfully and with less dependence on chemicals by using good sanitation.
I've never been stuck in an elevator, but I'd rather not. I'd also prefer not to get stranded at the top of one of those double-decker Ferris wheels. Even on one of those chance rides with a pretty girl.
I have always been a fan of TV game shows. When I went to school in Social Circle, we lived right across the street from the school and they let me go home for lunch. I would sneak in a few minutes of "Concentration" and "Jeopardy."

Parenting is hard work. You always feel like you are messing up and someone - usually a person who doesn't know the difference between a zygote and a pygmy goat - is always full of advice and criticism as to the quality of job you are doing.

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)
Severinsen lights up Christmas in MSO seasonal concert
Nothing ushers in the holiday season quite like Doc Severinsen and 200-or-so instrumentalists and singers raising the roof of Uihlein Hall with seasonal music.
Severinsen, who retired from the Milwaukee Symphony Pops principal pops conductor post in 2007, returned to the MSO podium on Friday with trumpet and flugelhorn in hand. He led a high-energy, festive program of holiday music that meshed classical music with pop, jazz and traditional carols. »Read Full Article(4)
New director, Scrooge give Milwaukee Rep's 'Christmas Carol" a true spirit
In its just-released December issue, American Theatre magazine suggests that, for all its popularity in theaters throughout the country, "A Christmas Carol" may be getting tired.
Such an observation hits home when your "Carol" has been staged for 37 consecutive years. But as four different adaptations and 10 different Scrooges attest, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's "Carol" hasn't survived that long by standing still. »Read Full Article

Nigeria defeated tournament favorite Ivory Coast 2-1 to reach the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations on Sunday, keeping Didier Drogba and his teammates from lifting the trophy. Sunday Mba scored the winner with a shot from outside the area in the 78th minute, helping Nigeria advance to the last four for the sixth time in eight tournaments. Emmanuel Emenike opened the scoring for Nigeria with a long-range shot that was misplayed by Ivory Coast goalkeeper Boubacar Barry in the 43rd minute, and Cheik Tiote equalized in the 50th with a header from a free kick cross taken by Drogba. Nigeria will now play Mali, which eliminated host South Africa on penalties on Saturday in Durban.

|City leaders
|10457 total votes
Hi usa1
I didn't vote.
Nationally, crime rates are dropping. As usual, Y-town is behind the curve.
Peer pressure and media exploitation of the gangsta culture also has a lot to do with it. Most kids rebel against parental authority. Most people my age listened to rock and roll precisely because our parents didn't want us to do so. We express our generational culture by syntax and even by our posture and facial expressions. Same goes for the clothes, the hair styles, etc. Despite genetics, most of us are more like our peers than our partents.
So far, nobody has discussed how it is that perps get guns, which seem to be the yo-yo's, hooola hoops and frisbees of the gangsta era. Does Y-town have more or less of them than the national average? Have the victims been killed with registered hand guns? By Saturday night specials? Is the ammo traceable?
The articles also do not say whether or not the accused have track records. If so, maybe the justice system, which is the university of choice for a lot of criminals, had something to do with it.
I would say both, but if I had to pick just one, it would be the parents.
The results of this poll only show how little people are willing to except personal responsibility. Sickening. If Parents can't instill values and responsibility in there own children and they expect society to do it for them......we are truly doomed.
Criminal conduct has become an accepted lifestyle . The rights of criminals reign supreme and their victims rights are trampled upon . It is a sad day when criminals get an elevated status in society . LETS PENALIZE CRIMINALS WITH FAR MORE THAN JUST PROBATION .
The lopsided tally citing " City Leadership " is accurate,..
Where although it'd be inaccurate, unfair and stupid not to cite both as culpable. But one are the orchestrators and the other pitted here are merely the conformists.
See what's happened here is a volatile combination of the criminality and incompetence orchestrated by alleged " City Leaders " has subscribed to preying upon the entire populous.
Sure you can point the finger at parents, the youth and even some adults that's faltered to contributing to society killing criminality.
But no way in hell can anybody with any sense and understanding not detect how corrupt the alleged " Officials " in Youngstown are.
Thus as a result you merely see the effects of the kingpins works playing out by partakers all throughout the city.
That current tally of 72% of those partaking in the polling displaying their understanding and recognition that Youngstown's problems is the result of mass criminality isn't just profound and overwhelming.
But it's also indisputably accurate and a damn shame. That 72% tally of those whom recognize there's nothing less than a pack of worthless no good criminals perched as public enemies.
Duly reflects and presents electoral landslide numbers. For which indicates a resounding agreement and understanding. That the people realize they're going to have to get to work on taking action against.
In reflective contrast comparison no doubt the only ones polling to make up that minuscule 27% as alleging it's the parents of childrens fault. Are no doubt those whom are fleecing the populous being perched as " City leaders " and their dependents.
That's not opinion because those 72% to 27% numbers show and prove that. There's criminality reigning from everywhere from the courts, the commissioners, to city counsel and city works.
Where I'm surprised Vindy would host such a polling. You can rest assure if more voted that the current 72% tally identifying city " Leadership " as the problem.
Would unquestionably grow to even more accurately reflect somewhere a mass understanding. That would project somewhere in the high 80's to low 90's reflecting they realize where the cities problems are orchestrated.
Oh brother,..
najjjj I'll not call you a foolish shill because we disagree,.. nope.
I'll allow your own inaccurate and idiotic allegation to stand on it's own lack of merit before the populous.
When you get a tally that lopsided there's no question that the people are no longer fooled. It's not singular opinion or any mass abandonment of parental responsibility,.. like you alleged.
If such were the case that would mean at least 1/3 of those in the current 72% would be seeking immunity for willfully raising criminal kids and partaking in criminality themselves.
But see your problem then would be trying to present a single individual working downtown Youngstown. That you or anybody like you could present as a affable deterrent to crime,.. and YOU CAN'T !!!
See that current 27% that represent your position reflects a number. That's slightly higher than would be commensurate with those orchestrating mayhem at personal profit taxpayers expense,.. care to refute that?
To wit your stance would be that a minimum of 1000 people that would comprise a 1/3 portion of the current 3005 in the 72%. Would be irresponsible criminality embracing parents that criminal records don't project,.. try debunking that.
So see you're not just derisively wrong here and again. But you've actually been a wrong angled loon for a long, long, long time there " na, na, na, najjjjjj ",.. and you've not changed.
"I think it was Traficant who said....."
Please consider the source. If he's a role model, then all is lost.
According to the statistics, innovations such as street patrols, crime cameras, infiltration of gangs, and a reduction of guns have helped cities like NY, DC, and a number of others. They have not eliminated the problem, but they cerrtainly have reduced rates of crime.
Both are to blame. Parents for not being responsible and city leaders for being soft on crime. Also, too many government handouts that make it easy on the lazy people of our society.
@ mrblue
Both to blame,.. yes.
Although see where both play a part, the scale of culpable imbalance lays and rests upon the orchestrators.
See those kids nor are their parents coordinating shipments of assault weapons and drugs into the area. Nor are those kids or parents the heads of the criminal operations that plague the area.
Lastly those whom falter to distributing are the least profiting and damn sure don't dictate select apprehension or flop and fix cases of prosecution downtown either.
See beyond introducing an individual to a life of crime. For it to have any longevity the escorting, masterminding and promotion table has to be set for it downtown.
So see not only is that irrefutable and we unquestionably see it happening. It's so profound and pathetic that no sensible person can miss it.
So for anyone to try to ignore that to allege or contend the youth or bad parenting is what kills Youngstown isn't just inaccurate,.. but it's so misguided it's insane.
@ Jessiedavid
We disagree,..
First off Traficant is no different than any other criminal. Where the script reads he lost his way because he's criminal and allowed his gullible greed to consume him.
Also we absolutely disagree about city " officials " too. See because fact is light sentencing and probation for criminality are discretionary.
Which irony is felonious violations like drug distribution, prohibited weapon possession and murder gives leverage to sentence such said violators to the max.
However, not all such violators don't get that max incarceration treatment in Youngstown. Reason being is those peddlers are peddling for the organized criminals perched as officials.
The city bears a cost for county incarcerations. But to sentence such violators to penitentiary time isn't a local budget issue.
Hell, time and time again we've seen distinct instances of corruption. Where aside from Cafaro having more private ownership over more commissioners than the citizens that pay their day job salaries.
The records present the murderous hit and run guy. Who hit and drug his victim and fled from a McDonalds drive thru. Then in his post drunk massacre he went before the courts. Which is where he got something like 2 or 3 years from a judge? In a plea deal from a prosecutor?,.. it'd be hilarious if it weren't TRUE !!!
Then there's the drug guys that shot the guy in the back of the head in a house somewhere on the north side. Then after they were caught some " judge " gave them 5 years on something like self defense manslaughter,.. Ask that mother or his kid who's behind crime in Youngstown.
See now we're in the midst of a murder suspect fugitive. Who by history is a multiple repeat offender that various Youngstown judges flopped his charges.
Where now via eventuality a family named the Repchic's paid a life sentence for it and the entire community lives in outrage and horror,.. a bad dad or misguided mom didn't do all that.
The question, "who is responsible for violence"?
The answer is, criminals.
The real question is what do you do with criminals? Everyone has choices no matter where you are from. People that are criminals choose that path in life.
The real problem is the judicial system and the multiple "second chances" given to criminals. If you look at the prior criminal records of violent criminals you will find in most cases that they have a record as long as your arm.
The problem is the plea bargaining system where a criminal commits a crime that would have a twenty year sentence and it's plea bargained down to a ten year sentence and they serve only half of that. So in five years they are back on the streets committing more crime when in reality the should still be locked up.
The excuse that the courts are backed up and that's why prosecutors plea bargain is lame. the courts are backed up because the same criminals keep being let out of jail and keep committing crimes.
The answer is is to prosecute people for the crime they commit and keep them locked up in as many jails as we need to build. In the long run it will be cheaper and the rest of us will all be safer.
See there's loads more of similar and worst downtown Youngstown case log that can be reflected upon here. That beyond opinion or speculation irrefutably proves that Maureen Cronin wasn't the only criminal mole on the bench down there,.. No way in Hell.
Nor can a blind eye be cast at whats alleged to be the prosecutors office. That by it's own record is widely hailed as a damn disgrace and a criminal joke,.. bad parenting doesn't do that.
See those realities are even beyond the corrupt commissioners and a city council that presides over defending and upholding hiring practices that predates Jim Crow,.. even the Black ones.
So to make it an unblemished and non bias implication of impartiality. In total sum they've got the racial and gender diverse worst and worthless smattering.
Of the most despicable body of bankrolling riff raff laden underlings since the days of Ray T. Davis, Phil Chance, Jim Philomena, Jim Trafficant, Polly the Frog and that ruthless crowd,.. it's just the names have changed but the corruption game has stayed the same.
Which neither the local clergy, parents or citizens. Can be faulted for anything aside from either faltering to acceptance, or not leaving the area. Or not seeing a worth to try to take the area back,.. from city official CRIMINALS !!!
6500 + votes Right
People are always responsible for crime...not police. Police are reactionary, that is, they go to the crime scene to stop the crime or to investigate it. We need to accept that fact and not expect our Police to prevent crime. Crime Prevention starts at home and with that it is a social isssue as in how we raise our children.
All of our children start off in life as perfect angels and little darlings. What happens to them in their 18 years of growth is what is disturbng and the real crime in America today.
Parents have a reasonable to raise the children to be product member of society. But that must be hard when you have never been one. How does take you child to work happen in Youngstown schools. I can still remember my dad showing me his job and love of computers and electronics at work.
The people who are to blame for the violence are those who perpetrate the violence. Yes, the lack of parental involvement and the failure to instill moral values and some sort of work ethic contribute to the development of criminality. Yes, not sentencing people who have repeatedly committed crimes to the maximum sentences and making them stay in prison contributes to the violence. But, when it all comes down to it, the criminals are ultimately responsible for what they do and it is they who should be held accountable.
Just as I planned and suspected,..
Since the damning statements of accurate and overwhelming recognition. Of polling participants initially citing the more culpable causes and orchestration of the criminality epidemic in Youngstown as criminal conduits as " city leaders ".
Now the indefensible guilty has stepped their " whitewash " game up. In such a hell of a way that they're now despicably flooding this pooling. To dare allege bad kids and poor parenting is the organized crime problem in Youngstown. Even without badges or judicial power on the bench or controlling prosecutions,.. AMAZING AREN'T THEY !!!
See that's as implausible as alleging those kids and parents. Has steered Youngstown's city schools into such an abyss of requiring state and federal intervention emergency,..THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE !!!
So for them to have so fastidiously summonsed their friends and families to skew that previously accurate and damning 72% to 27% tally. That reflected over 4000 polled that factually cited the alleged " city leaders " is telling,.. WHAT A SUDDEN SHIFT HUH?
However, their efforts are to no avail because the FACTS are what they are. And they damn sure can't obliterate them either.
See beyond opinion record reveals that Youngstown is ran by a collective cronyism cabal comprised of incompetency and corruption. To wit agree or disagree there's factual records and social condition that prove it,.. THEY CAN'T SKEW THAT !!!
So see let the record reflect that if those worthless shills were to perform their vested duties. Even remotely as how frantically as they've taken to combating this polling tally. Which they've mounted by merely having their family and cronies make a run on flooding the polling to try blaming the parents.
The FACT is that Youngstown wouldn't be in the shape it's in and there's not a damn thing they can say, show or allege to prove otherwise,..IT'S SELF EVIDENT AND IRREFUTABLY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF !!!
So now that we've gotten clarity on that. The residents can view this as exactly just what they're dealing with in regards to methodology of said " city Leaders ",.. A DISGRACE !!!
The message here is now where they've shown they can skew a polling. But they damn sure can't vindicate their lack of worth and their works and records PROVE it,.. NOW HOWS THAT?
It's election time people and if you demand better. Now is your only chance to demand accountability from those on the ballot,.. CHANGE NEEDS TO START UN-EMPLOYING THEM NOV 2ND !!!
@ Freeatlast
I was noting that " 6500 participants " too,.. LMAO !!!
Where it's to be expected and known that those " city leaders " saw that 72% to 27% tally that recognized them as problems. So they no doubt account for some of that re-voting.
However, that " 6500 " number on an outlet like Vindy in such a short period of time. Could only be achieved by an onslaught of multiple votes by the same individuals.
Or Vindy was contacted by " city leaders " and requested to taint the tally. See when it was 72% citing " city leaders " as the main problem.
See there were just over 4000 votes recorded. Now all of a sudden in ONE DAY's time. There's not only currently " 6552 " which is roughly 2500 new people in the polling.
But that groundswell of " people ".are supposed to be alleging to favor the bad kids and faultless " city leaders " theory,.. HILARIOUS ISN'T IT !!!
To top it off I didn't even poll either way I opted to express my views in detail. But see you have to remember it's ELECTION time.
So those non deserving of votes have to blame the parents and those town seizing kids,.. NO MATTER HOW ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT DELIBERATELY IRRESPONSIBLE ANGLE IS !!!
They must not realize that who they're accusing as the problem. Are the same voters that can, should and they gave another reason to vote them out,.. AND EARLY VOTING IS AVAILABLE TO START DOING IT !!!
Nunya @ No matter what your or my opinion is or if we agree with each other .We only have one vote each and it is up to us to use that vote as we see fit . But it is good to read what some of our neighbors have to say .I just wish we had 6500+ ideas to read and not just the same thing over and over by a few .
lol finally someone figured out you can continually click vote and cast 1000 votes without having to load the next screen. Epic survey Vindy.
I can only say that I did not look to city officials to raise my children to be upstanding citizens. They turned out to be young adults that any parent can be proud of. The fact that city officials were doing or not doing their job had nothing to do with how my children turned out. It was parenting.
Both are responsable in my opinion. You have state and local govt.s cutting safety forces and parents that are just as bad as the kids if not worse.
You should have had a third answer to the question-Both.
Part of the problem is our society is base around the thought that most parent will raise there child right. Leaving a small number that no mater how good the parenting are going to become criminals and that small number can be controlled by the courts and cops.
When we have mass amounts of parents raising there kids poorly because they where raised no better themselves . We have no choice but to change how society works.
@ Traveler
You're onto something there,..
That being no matter how well a parent and or parents try to raise their children. It's no guarantee the offspring won't defy them and resort to criminality.
See not to say we've all watched a proverbial criminally insane individual grow up. But by the same token we've all had friends and even some family members that has went the wrong way. To have embraced doing self serving things and subscribing to criminality.
That's left many wondering and or questioning just what, why and or where in the hell. Did the once believed to be good and or great kid do or figure why they veered off the right track
It's not always parenting and where just like being exposed to abuse and criminality can flip a kid and or individual. Another kid or individual can go through the same type of environment and it serves as reason for them not to falter to it.
It's pretty much the same for those who's had and or has drug addict or alcoholic parents. Where some will follow the mistake and others will see it for what it is and avoid it at all costs.
See to the sensible there's no such thing as an impressive drunk or dope addict. Where in regards to parenting to a child and or offspring. Numbers show that the majority rightfully sees the substances that took their parent[s] from them as greatly disfavored.
I mean we're no oddities having been kids that didn't grow up with everything. My family doesn't have Cafaro money and there's a great number of birthdays, Christmases and back to school times. That whatever we got was accepted and yet not quiet the " Big ticket " items we had our hopes set on.
But yet here we are as sane, stable, successful and non-sulking people. That sensibly utilized that experience for our betterment to make a life for ourselves and better for our children.
I'm not the only one here that didn't always get a cake for my birthday or a party thrown in my honor of celebration and my friends didn't either. Yet none of us that were very close got into criminality and by way of preserving opportunities in our lives we greatly benefit from it as adults,.. Who cares if we were once poor and or not spoiled kids.
Yet if to recite a number of various hardships and letdowns we endured coming up. There's some that would try to call them aspects of " bad parenting ",.. Get real it's not.
Then there are some that would even show such a excuse reliant weakness. That they'd use various things as to solicit self pity,.. AND I AIN'T BUYING IT !!!
The rule of law if orchestrated right. Is one where if the individual shows a criminal liability to society.
They're to be made to pay for it by having the right of non incarceration. Which is one that by actions they chose to reduce to a privilege. Judicially limited or taken away for years if not the entire remainder of their life.
The Unabomber was turned in by his brother. Both raised by the same parents.
Criminals are responsible for being criminals. It's on them. Just asking this question is a form of giving them a pass or an excuse.
Society has rules and if you break them you should be held responsible. No plea bargain. Criminals need to serve the time for the crime they commit. If you want to stop crime keep the criminals in jail.

Inland Empire Boot CampRead MoreInland Empire Boot Camp's squad of experienced instructors eschews the ear-scarring screams of traditional boot camps in favor of rigorous motivation, individually tailoring every exercise to achieve sustainable results for students. Like the temperaments of salsa dancers, the boot camp's intensity levels split into mild, medium, and hot categories to ensure every participant gets a vigorous but doable workout. The outdoor program mixes up activities for constantly shifting sessions, which divide time between exercises such as toning core muscles with planks and lunges and raising heart rates with jogging and calisthenics. Campers rotate through interval-based resistance and cardio training, aiming to stoke metabolic fires into searing calories. Inland Empire Boot Camp's schedule of both coed and women-only classes lets participants control their comfort levels, and the flexible schedule accommodates those who need extra time to get their werewolf or nongroggy daytime-werewolf symptoms under control. Inland Empire Boot Camp also offers grocery shopping classes, which escort students through the aisles, teaching them what to look for on food labels and how to decide between frozen or fresh, butter or margarine, and ketchup or catsup.12505 N MainstreetRancho Cucamonga, CA US
Ziba Beauty CenterRead MoreMore than 25 years ago, Kundan Sabarwal opened the doors of a modest 400-square-foot skincare spa in New Delhi, working diligently to gently and efficiently eradicate her clients' unwanted body hair through a blend of ancient techniques and modern indulgences. With a bit of hard-earned success, Ziba Beauty hopped the pond, eventually expanding to 17 locations in two U.S. states. Each studio embraces American style while retaining its overseas roots, amplifying faces and bodies with traditional Indian cosmetic adornment and hair removal. By rolling small loops of cotton thread over brows and other facial areas, threading specialists can remove pesky fuzz without harming the skin or skipping over fine hairs. For more sizeable zones, Sumita Wax, which was developed in India exclusively for Ziba Beauty, quickly sends errant hairs packing on the face and body. Artistic hands ink bodies with the ornate semipermanent designs of traditional mehndi, or cloak clients in sparkle with intricate art in a choice of 32 glitter mehndi colors and shimmering crystals, readying skin for special events better than a full-body tuxedo tattoo.12592 N MainstreetRancho Cucamonga, CA US
Fitness ConceptsRead MoreFounded and led by Dr. Sam Bakhtiar—a bodybuilding champion with both a master's and doctorate degree in fitness—Fitness Concepts houses an enthusiastic team of trainers dedicated to helping clients tone up within a 10,000-square-foot facility with rows of free weights and clusters of exercise machines. During specific programs, such as one-on-one personal-training sessions, they'll help fit seekers target their personal goals, whether that's strengthening their core, shaping up before a wedding, or conditioning for a sport. Fitness Concepts' programs include dynamic boot-camp classes, which burn calories and strengthen bodies with ever-changing workouts and encouragement from invested trainers. Each facet of Fitness Concepts is designed to banish fat, break through fitness barriers, and help members feel more confident than Michael Jordan during his visit to Munchkin Land.11650 Mission Park DrRancho Cucamonga, CA US
The Wine TailorRead MoreChances are that, right now, a shipment of crushed grapes is en route to The Wine Tailor, ready to be made into one of the winery's 30 plus signature wines. The Wine Tailor has been forging partnerships with premium vineyards from around the world and the giant cork tree at its center. These relationships have been quite fruitful, producing red, white, and fruit-infused wines. To help patrons select from all of these choices, The Wine Tailor hosts tastings within its Rancho Cucamonga store. The winery doesn't limit customers to one wine list, though—it also welcomes them to craft their own custom wines using the Tailor's formidable stock of grapes.8916 Foothill BlvdRancho Cucamonga, CA US
Rancho Cucamonga PharmacyRead MoreA multifarious but rarely nefarious array of local wineries, restaurants, artisans, crafters, and entertainers fortifies the stomping grounds at the Grape Harvest Festival, the oldest fete of its kind in California. But the main attraction is, without a doubt, the myriad buckets of squishy, sweet violet spheres waiting for aspirant tap dancers and resentful vegetable farmers to engage in one of the few remaining traditional grape stomps open to the public. Once you've finished gleefully purpling your heels, you'll get to taste the fermented fruits of local labor and celebrate the Rancho Cucamonga community?s vineyard heritage by sampling sips and nibbles from fine neighboring eateries, with each bite soundtracked by live music and other performances populating the various festival stages. Meanwhile, palates preferring motor oil to wine can salivate over the careful craftsmanship and luscious vroom-vrooms of the fest?s Saturday motorcycle rally and Sunday car show, which showcase a wide sampling of motos, including wine-powered Harleys and the rare ?82 vintage Ford Zinfandel. And with more than 100 arts and crafts options, the artsy-flatulentsy of any age can both make and take home handcrafted treasures.12201 Highland AveRancho Cucamonga, CA US
Fleet Feet Sports Rancho CucamongaRead MoreFor accuracy, the sneaker experts at Fleet Feet Sports prefer to measure a client's shoe size multiple times. However, size isn't the only metric they use to match patrons with suitable shoes. Before pairing them with athletic sneakers from Nike, Asics, and other top brands, the team considers their clients' foot shape and watches them walk barefoot to evaluate their gait and whether they are hobbits. With their rigorous sneaker fittings and optional insoles, the team strives to build a solid, comfortable foundation for athletes of all experience levels. To complement their array of footwear, the shop also stocks a comprehensive battery of athletic gear, with a special focus on technical apparel that wicks away moisture during workouts without relying on bulky built-in hair dryers. Nutrition guidance and products bolster the workout supplies, as do special events that include an injury-prevention clinic and weekly group runs.7233 Haven Ave.Rancho Cucamonga, CA US

San Diego Housing Market News and Analysis

Housing market
Analysis of the (primarily) San Diego housing market.
Housing Market Report: January 2006
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 31, 2006 - 11:56pm
Below I will crunch the local housing price, sales volume, and inventory numbers to get an in-depth look at where the San Diego market stands and where it's likely to go in the months ahead.
Downtown San Diego's Condo Onslaught
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 27, 2006 - 10:15am
The Voice has another housing-related piece today, this one on the burgeoning condo oversupply in downtown San Diego.
As Premium users learned a couple months back, downtown (otherwise known as Craneville, CA) has an 18 month inventory of condos listed for resale on the MLS. This means that at the rate at which sales took place in 2005, it would take 18 months for all the resale condos to be sold. This doesn't even include new non-MLS listed condos that may be for sale, nor does it include condos under construction that may come online for sale during the next 18 months.
Worst Shortage Ever
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 24, 2006 - 10:31pm
Regarding my post on the Myth of the Housing Shortage, one commenter suggested that I look at jobs vs. housing supply instead of of population vs. housing supply. I have done so below, with surprising results:
The Rise of the Desperate Seller
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 23, 2006 - 11:11am
Today's Voice of San Diego hits on a key driver of home price movements: what they refer to as "desperate sellers"—people who, for one reason or another, need to sell their homes.
To understand their importance, let us first imagine a world without desperate sellers. In such a world, a home price decline of any significance would be highly unlikely. If housing demand declined such that homes weren't fetching the desired prices, most homeowners would just take their homes off the market and stay put. They would, in the words of my friend Gary London, "lock their doors instead of locking in losses." The resulting decrease in the supply of homes for sale would balance out the decline in demand and stabilize prices.
A Warning Light on OC's Dashboard
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 20, 2006 - 10:31am
The OC Register has an interesting piece on a surge in delinquent property taxes that has the Orange County treasurer a little worried. The treasurer, who seems like a pretty sharp guy, wonders, "[A]re we observing the beginning of a trend or is this a blip?"
People who rely on "traditional" measures of economic health, such as wage growth or unemployment, are missing a big piece of what makes the SoCal economy go: home equity extraction. Lacking a good city-specific way to measure home equity extraction, one of the best ways to get a handle on the health of a given area's homeowners is by observing rates of change of property tax and mortgage defaults. We are only now beginning to see increases, but I believe that with the amount of adjustable-rate debt out there, we will start to see a lot more homeowner fiscal trouble in 2006 and beyond.
We Are the Champions
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 18, 2006 - 10:28am
The latest PMI Risk Index is out. I think these reports are hopelessly optimistic—for instance, after an unbroken winning streak in which prices more than tripled despite the lack of any demographic reason to have done so, San Diego is designated as having only a 59% chance of seeing even a tiny price decline. The reports do have some utility, however, in that we can at least get a sense of what the mortgage insurers think are the relative risks between different areas. We Southern Californians should be unsurprised to see that, as with China's Olympic swimmers, our artificially pumped-up home team has dominated the winner's list. For your convenience I have assembled a table below that shows both the PMI Risk Index results for local areas along with a column indicating each area's level of housing valuation relative to historical average (see these valuation charts for more background).
The U-T's 2005 San Diego Housing Wrap-Up
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 17, 2006 - 10:24am
The Union-Tribune is running a great article on the state of the San Diego housing market. The article includes two sidebars that I found extremely interesting: a graphic showing appreciation by area, and a PDF file rounding up home prices for the entire county. Fellow data-nerds should find hours of amusement combing through these two files.
Visions of the Future
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 16, 2006 - 12:22am
This Voice of San Diego housing prediction roundup, along with a commenter's question on the topic, has motivated me to write about forecasting, vis-à-vis whether it is is a complete waste of time. And the answer is: yes. Or no. Or, it depends, I guess.
Alright, let me start from the start, using a familiar graph as a jumping point:
When Bubbles Burst
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 8, 2006 - 7:02pm
Housing bubbles typically take years to deflate completely. In today's LA Times, however, an article on the burst of the Shanghai housing bubble demonstrates that even real estate is not immune to dramatic turns to the downside. After a period of rampant speculation and overbuilding that drove Shanghai home prices to double in three years (not terribly far, I would note, from the 5 years it took Southern California real estate to do the same), the market has rapidly taken a turn for the worse, with some condo prices having dropped 50% since March. That's not a mistake—prices have dropped 50%. Don't the Chinese realize that real estate only goes up? Perhaps we should send someone from NAR over to let them know.
Housing Slowdown Starting to Cause Real Pain
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 7, 2006 - 12:45pm
A good friend of mine named Ramsey enjoyed a multi-decade career in the San Diego real estate industry before more recently becoming a full-time stock trader. Between his knowledge of the local housing scene and of economics and financial markets he is able to routinely come up with some very interesting analysis. He usually shares his insights with me over beef tendons, pig ears, jellyfish, and other frightening "delicacies" during our weekly meetings at local Chinese restaurants with questionable ratings from the Department of Health.
Today, however, he spared me the entrail-eating experience and sent me an interesting email in which he posits that the local real estate industry is already experiencing "layoffs" of a sort due to the housing slowdown. Ramsey's email is reprinted below in its entirety:
Piggington Goes North
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 3, 2006 - 8:43pm
Southern California is our beat here at the Econo-Almanac. But when an enterprising reader sent me a table full of data on the San Francisco Bay Area, I couldn't help but throw it into a graph. I figured that with the effects of the dot-com boom and subsequent bust, the Bay Area would be an altogether different animal than SoCal. But that wasn't really the case at all. While Bay Area home prices took off sooner and have proved a little more volatile, the end result is very similar: home sale prices rose much faster than rents.
Appraisal Reform Efforts: Too Little, Too Late
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 3, 2006 - 9:00am
The Voice of San Diego has run a followup story on appraisal fraud, this time discussing the middling reform efforts currently underway. As an example, the state senate is considering a bill "that would require any person who initiates a mortgage to have a certified broking license."
While it's encouraging that the appraisal fraud issue is being recognized, I don't think that a few grasping attempts at further oversight will solve this problem. It is the nature of end-stage speculative bubbles: there is too much to be gained by continuing fraudulent behavior, and too much to be lost be halting it. Once the bubble is deflating in earnest, the appraisal fraud problem will fix itself. By then, however, the damage will have been done. I can only hope that the powers that be use the opportunity to put in place a regulatory system that will prevent fraud from getting out of control during the next housing boom.
The Dangers of Exotic Loans in San Diego
Submitted by Rich Toscano on January 1, 2006 - 9:56pm

Housing Market Report: December 2005

Fraud and the Home Appraisal Business
Submitted by Rich Toscano on December 30, 2005 - 11:16am
The Voice of San Diego is at it again, this time with an article about appraisal fraud.
In the past, appraisers would estimate the fair market value of a house based on comparable sales, construction costs, and various other methods. If the appraised value came in too low, the mortgage would not be approved because the bank would want to ensure that the collateral on the loan (i.e. the house itself) was worth a certain amount in comparison to the loan amount.
Now, though, many appraisers claim that there is enormous pressure from some mortgage brokers to appraise homes based not on their actual value, but on the figure necessary to close the loan. The mortgage brokers, after all, are not the ones lending the money, so their main incentive is to close the deal. And since they are often the ones who hire the appraisers, it's possible to see how there would be a conflict of interest.

ANZAC day

Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:44 AM
Just wondering what you normally do on ANZAC day? We don"t normally do anything much, unless it is a long weekend and we are away. One of DS's friend's parents was talking about having his birthday party that day and I couldn't decide if I thought it was inappropriate or nor. I guess I would've ok with it in the afternoon, but perhaps not so ok with it if it was in the morning. Do you have strong feelings about ANZAC day?
Posted 13 April 2012 - 12:53 AM
I don't find it inappropriate at all. Presumably they're not planning to hold it during the dawn service. None of the ex-servicemen in my family would even blink at the idea.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 01:03 AM
I think that's fine, though preferably in the afternoon (as the services / parades are in the morning, and gives people a chance to visit the cemetery etc). Around here the shops open at Midday I think, so I guess after that anything goes
Posted 13 April 2012 - 01:51 AM
I'm going interstate to watch my dad march in the parade.
then we'll probably find ourselves drunk by lunchtime on the
RAAF base that I grew up on.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:59 AM
It's my DD1's 7th birthday so we are going ten pin bowling with a few school friends and family
Posted 13 April 2012 - 06:50 AM
Fine for the afternoon.
I know a lot of people go to the parades with kids, which I think is important but there's no reason not to get together with friends too.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:08 AM
I don't find it disrespectful, though I can understand why some do, and I do have a lot of respect for the diggers.
We always find a game of 2up on ANZAC day... its fun and a nice way to soak up some of the vibe
Posted 13 April 2012 - 07:38 AM
We normally attend a bit of a family reunion and participate in a dawn service and march. This year we'll be staying at home as DS isn't up for the travel (7 hour drive), although we may be going to a friend's place for a catch up BBQ.
In future years we'll be continuing with this family tradition, and one year when DS is older we'll probably stay in Sydney and attend the service in Martin Place
I don't think having a birthday party is disrespectful, and my grandfather was a WWII veteran and attended the big march in Sydney every year until he was physically unable. I know a lot of people who treat ANZAC day as just another public holiday and a great excuse to start their drinking in the morning - I find that far more disrespectful
Posted 13 April 2012 - 08:55 AM
I always go to the dawn service.
I spend the day doing whatever I want to, and enjoying the freedoms all the vets fought to give us. I raise a glass to the fallen, the wounded, and the safely returned.
And I am also a great granddaughter of a vet who went through hell, and daughter of a Vietnam vet who won't talk about it. Ever. And I'm ex military myself.

It's hardly the child's fault that their birthday is on Anzac Day. It's like saying we shouldn't allow people who's birthdays coincide with Easter celebrate as it's disrespectful to Jesus.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:06 AM
Growing up we always went to the Dawn Service and then spent the day at the barracks (my Dad was a Solidier). Nowadays my DH will always go to the dawn service and I will too depending on the kids and stuff and that is about it. Usually watch the broadcasts on TV. This year we were thinking about taking the kids in to see the parade in the city.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:06 AM
If it's in the afternoon then it would be ok.
As PP have said, Dawn service & the parades are all held in the morning.
My dad is a vietnam vet as well & he refuses to acknowledge the day, yet his father (who served in WWII) & my mothers grandfather (served in WWI) would always celebrate the day with their mates from their unit at their local RSL.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:08 AM
At least Easter moves so it's not on your birthday every year....(spoken as one who finds the years her birthday is on Good Friday particularly annoying!)
I spend ANZAC day steadfastly ignoring all observances. In the last several years I've often worked (although, for those who are frowning at the shops opening, note that I'm not in retail!). But I don't know that I'd hold a party - my choice not to observe the day is my choice; I wouldn't want to impinge on something important to others.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:18 AM
I don't find it disrespectful.
I do like to reflect on ANZAC day about how horrific and horrible war is and mourn the loss of those that were killed (Australians, Turks, everyone) but I wouldn't see a problem with going to a party, especially in the afternoon.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:31 AM
DH always does dawn service and or the march. The kids also attend either with him as well.
There is always a party to attend each year as there is an Anzac birthday in our family, but we do it as dinner so that we can observe and remember in the mornings.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:37 AM

DS and I celebrate our Anzac Day birthdays together every year on the actual day.

Yep, this is me. I watch the dawn service or attend one if my Dad is in the state with me. I then have a big cry during the Last Post (gets to me every time) and then I spend the day thinking of everything my Dad and Grandfather went through and how lucky I am that I didn't have to watch any of my brothers/friends go off to war and never return when we were in our early 20's.
My Dad, however, is very vocal about his Viet Nam experience. He's even written several books on the subject. It's interesting how different people cope.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:43 AM
DH always watches the AFL since they always have an ANZAC day match. I'll probably sit around the house enjoying the fact I'm not at work. I might leave DD with DH and use the afternoon as an excuse to get some clothes shopping done without her around to 'help'.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 09:54 AM
We don't do anything in particular regarding Anzac day. We do talk about it, will turn the parades on and talk to the girls about it. The school always does an Anzac service at school on the nearest school day, so the girls know about it.
The party .. wouldn't bother me at all, as long as it is in the afternoon. Why would it be disrespectful to spend time in the afternoon enjoying those freedoms that our servicemen and women fight to protect.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 10:20 AM
We tend to stay at home because DP always ends up being abused (He is Asian) and now that we have DS I really don't want my family exposed to that. So I would have no problem with a birthday party because apart from when we went to Gallipoli ANZAC day has always been about racism for us so we tend not to observe it anyway.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:08 AM
We go to the march, then do brunch, then the footy!! I love ANZAC day. It's always great seeing so many people out supporting our servicemen and women.
Posted 13 April 2012 - 11:19 AM
We'll be off to the dawn service in Kings Park, then probably home for sleeps and food. Dinner will probably be at mums, and it will be full of all things delicious.

Wow I'm so sorry your family experiences this. Some poeple are such ignorant twats!
To me ANZAC day is a day of commemoration for the soldiers and to me that means all soldiers, no matter where they came from, who lost their lives and/or saw and experienced horrors they shouldn't have.

Does this sort of crap really still happen??? Half of the people I served with were of Asian or other non Caucasian ancestry. That's pathetic. I'm so sorry.

Report: Raptors rebranding could include switch to Drake-inspired black/gold color scheme
Dec 30, 2013, 6:34 PM EDT
The Toronto Raptors are rethinking the Raptors brand — new colors, new logo new everything… well except for the name. Because the Raptor lived in Mongolia and only got to be the team mascot because of the popularity of the "Jurassic Park" movies. Wouldn't want to tamper with that. Because it's so Canada.
Anyway, as part of the rebranding the Raptors are looking at potential new color schemes. Including Black and gold, reports Doug Smith at the Toronto Sun.
Now, I'm not suggesting it's a done deal and a lot of different people and companies are coming up with a lot of different looks and styles but I was told on the weekend that black and gold is definitely something being considered.
Remember Drake is a "global ambassador" of the Raptors (whatever that means) and is working with them on the new look. Now go look at the logo's and colors around Drake's "October's Very Own" — black with gold. Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun said these two things are related. We are not stunned.
It seems gimmicky to go this direction as anything other than the rare alternate jersey. Also, Smith makes a good point.
And I would suggest that if one of Tim Leiweke's great plans is to have the Raptors become "Canada's team" that going away from red and white doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
If you really want to change the Raptors image it all comes down to one thing: Winning. Everything else is secondary.
That said, the rebranding will be in place for the 2015-16 season, when Toronto will host the All-Star Game.
- kinglorious - Dec 31, 2013 at 12:12 AM

I like the purple and whatever it is (silver and red?). At least it's a fairly unique combination, black and gold team colors are everywhere. Not a proponent.
But IF they change it, keep the purple and replace red with green. But I guess too many "I'm macho" men in here label purple as "fruity" or "gay". That's probably the issue, lame.
- chiraider - Dec 31, 2013 at 1:14 PM
Raptors should go back to wearing dinosaur jerseys and Drake should stick to being a girlyman that makes subpar music. It'd be a win/win and a lose/lose for everybody depending on how you look at it….
- Miami305 - Dec 31, 2013 at 3:33 PM
Am I the only one that is tired of the NBA's association with trendy and usually Hippity-Hoppity musicians? My guess is that the majority of NBA fans are not into Hippity-Hoppity music or the imbeciles that make the "music." Drake is the face of the Raptors?? What a dork! Wasn't that guys a star of Nickelodeon or something?
