Help me remove "Help" from Finder context menu (it isn't supposed to be there)
This is what I get if I right-click in a folder. (but not the Desktop)
It could be clicking either on a file/folder or in an empty space in the window.
That first item "Help" does absolutely nothing.
I click on it, the menu disappears, and... no reaction.
And according to the replies to my other thread (and according to pictures I've found in Google),
this "Help" item isn't supposed to be there at all in Tiger.
I upgraded recently from 10.3 to 10.4.
I'm guessing this "Help" thing was in 10.3?
Does somebody have an idea?
This is very weird, I made a new thread,
but somehow I messed up
and it changed the title of THIS thread.
And now, I can't change the thread title back.
What the heck??
Edit 2:
A moderator deleted my other new thread, apparently.
So I guess I'll just use this thread.
*The 3rd post (by Aptmunich) and 4th post were in reply to the original thread.*
Hmm, I don't have a Help item in my context menu?
Has it always been there? Have you installed any apps that let you customize the context menu?
Maybe also check this folder to see if any add-ons have been installed:
"/Users/YOURUSER/Library/Contextual Menu Items"
Hmm... I upgraded from 10.3 Panther. (I chose "Archive and Install")
Perhaps this is the reason?
Did Panther have a Help item at the top of the folder context menus?
Perhaps this is a remnant from Panther during my upgrade?
I checked Contextual Menu Items in both MY Library and the Library at the root level.
Nothing there.
edit: mistake post
G'day remain, do you have MacJanitor or OnyX installed? They are maintenance apps and you should run one of them to clear out all the junk that builds up. OnyX (the one I use) will also repair Permissions and Optimise your Mac System. This might get rid of that Help option.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I do have OnyX.
I repaired Permissions (albeit with Disk Utility)
and ran the Maintenance stuff with OnyX.
After a few restarts, the Help item is still there, useless as ever.
Got any more ideas? ;P
Does anyone know where the system file that stores the Finder's basic context menu items is?
(assuming there is even one)
I tried the Contextual Menu Items folders but there is nothing there.
So I assume the "Help" item, along with with the other basic items are kept elsewhere.
Delete this file from YOURUSERNAME/Library/Preferences:
You will lose any customizations for Finder, including Help (hopefully).
I just tried it.
I backed up that file, then I deleted it and restarted Finder.
And... "Help" is still there!
ARGH! It's refusing to die!
you may be able to remove it with this utility…
I just checked and mine also has help at the top of the list. Hmmm.
You're using Tiger, right?
Did you upgrade from Panther as well?
Wow, I was just switching between views in my Finder and I noticed I actually have the help menu there as well.
It seems to only appear when you're in the 'list' view.
Try switching to icon or column view - no 'help' context item. List view 'boom' it's back.
It does seem a little strange and I suppose it could be that we all have the same app installed that is causing this, but I'd guess it's just part of OS X's behaviour.
Why in the world it's there is another question though... I'll ask around at work tomorrow.

For a long time I've wanted to know how MySQL scales as you add more memory to the server. Vadim recently benchmarked the effects of increasing memory and CPU core count. He looked for a balance between utilizing the hardware as much as possible, limiting the system complexity, and lowering the price-to-performance ratio.
The outcome of the research, which was sponsored by Virident, is that as you add CPUs and increase memory size, MySQL doesn't scale as well as we would like, and solid-state storage — specifically, the Virident tachIOn drive — has more bandwidth than MySQL can fully utilize at present. Therefore, to decrease the price-to-performance ratio and increase the utilization of the tachIOn drive, Vadim sharded the database into smaller instances and colocated them on the same machine. It's not a new approach, but to date I'm not aware of anyone measuring the different configurations the way Vadim has done.
You can read the full details in our Scaling MySQL With Virident Flash Drives and Multiple Instances of Percona Server white paper.

Rain garden training workshops planned in New Jersey
Posted By Todd B. Bates On January 23, 2012 @ 4:20 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Want to learn how to build and maintain rain gardens [1], which curb stormwater runoff [2] from properties?
The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium [3] and Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program [4] will be offering two, two-day training workshops in February and March, according to a statement.
One workshop will be in North Jersey and one will be in South Jersey. Training will include classroom and field work, including installing a rain garden, the statement says.
I recently wrote a story about rain gardens [5] as part of our three-day Tainted Waters [6] series, and it struck a chord with readers. The story attracted the interest of people as far away as the Puget Sound area of Washington state and Maine.
Rain gardens are cost effective, low-maintenance gardens designed to intercept, treat and infiltrate rain water before it becomes runoff, according to the Sea Grant/Rutgers statement. Their plants traditionally are native to the region and help retain contaminants that could otherwise harm nearby waterways.
Rutgers Cooperative Extension rain garden experts will teach participants how to launch rain garden projects, from site and plant selection to construction, according to the statement.
The North Jersey training workshop will be on Thurs. Feb. 23 at the Trailside Nature & Science Center [7], 452 New Providence Road, Mountainside. The second session will be on Thurs. March 29 at a Newark site to be announced at the February workshop, according to the statement.
Day one of the South Jersey training workshop will be Thurs. Feb. 16 at the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority [8], 1645 Ferry Ave., Camden. Day two will be Thurs. March 22 at a Camden City site to be announced at the February program.
The program generally will cost $25 and includes a copy of the Rain Garden Manual for New Jersey [9], refreshments and lunch for the first day of training. Organizations and businesses that want to send more than one person can pay $15 for each additional trainee, according to the statement.
More information is available on the Rutger Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program website – http://www.water.rutgers.edu [10] – where you can also register online, the statement says.
The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium, USDA NIFA Regional Water Center for Northeast States and Caribbean Islands, N.J. Department of Environmental Protection and Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority are paying for the program.

By Jason McLure, July 2012
Published May 10, 2013
Rafael La Porta measures government efficiency by sending letters to fake addresses.
Most poor countries are badly governed. Economists and political scientists have long debated why this is the case. Some argue that governance is worse in poor countries because they tend to be non-democratic and less accountable to their citizens. Another view holds that the productivity of public services in developing countries is low for similar reasons as that of private firms: low education levels, poor infrastructure and lack of technology. Still another reason is poor management, which could be the result of patronage in hiring and promotion, low public sector wages that fail to attract talent, and a dearth of incentives, supervision, and monitoring
This ambiguity has presented a challenge for government efficiency researchers. Moreover, their usual tool—surveys of citizens—has been ineffective in deciphering which individual factors are in play, since people often lump together a number of different issues together in responding to questions about government efficiency, and tend to mix personal experiences with policy views.
Now Noble Foundation Professor of Finance Rafael La Porta and colleagues have found a new way to measure efficiency through the use of a universal government service: the post office. By sending 10 letters to fake addresses in 159 countries and measuring how long it took for the letters to be returned to Hanover, N.H., La Porta was able to gather data on efficiency in a manner in which neither corruption nor politics would be a factor. He simply measured whether postal employees were doing their job.
"It's an environment where corruption doesn't matter since a postal employee in the Philippines cannot ask me for a bribe," says La Porta. "Throwing out the letter also serves no political purpose, so we're able to better understand the extent to which more capital investment or better management affect efficiency."
In conducting the experiment, La Porta's team sent two letters to non-existent business addresses in the five largest cities in each country. Each envelope contained an address listing a common personal name in the country along with a generic business name – such as "Inventory Technology Partners." The made-up businesses were located on made-up street addresses that used the names of Nobel laureates in economics and famous classical composers, and each envelope contained a single-page form business letter. The return address was listed at the Tuck School of Business along with bold letters stating "Please Return to Sender if Undeliverable."
Since all of the countries in the experiment are members of the Universal Postal Union, their postal workers have the same obligations to return undeliverable mail within one month of it entering the country. In practice, only 59 percent of the letters were returned within a year, and only 35 percent were returned within three months. Countries that returned all of the letters sent to them included not only countries often associated with efficient government, such as Canada, Norway and Finland, but also El Salvador, Uruguay and Barbados. Many of the 42 countries that did not return any letters were in sub-Saharan Africa but the group also included Russia, Egypt and Cambodia.
La Porta's team then examined the data to find correlations with factors such as the number of post offices and postal employees per capita, the use of postal code databases, and whether a country uses the Latin alphabet. These measures of resources and technology explained slightly less than half of the variation in countries' postal performance.
They then checked the return-to-sender results against measures of professionalism and meritocracy in a country's civil service. La Porta and company also examined to what degree management skills may have had an effect, by comparing the data against measures of management quality in each country's public and private sector. Both factors had a significant impact on the likelihood a letter would be returned to sender.
The results suggest corruption and politics may not play as large a role in government inefficiency as some have argued, since the corruption-immune postal data is strongly correlated with standard measures of government efficiency, such as number of days to adjudicate a court case.
"The overall story is that government is not that different from the private sector," says La Porta. "The indication is that the postal service gets better with development not only because there are more resources but also because people learn how to better manage large organizations."
Very interesting setting and idea! Let me just ask the following questions:
- How can postal service be a measurement for government efficiency, if more and more postal services are no longer companies that are run by the government? Universal service providers e.g. in the Netherlands, Germany or Singapore do not even have the state as the majority shareholder.
- Below and above the article is stated "Jason McLure, July 2012". Has the article been written at that time? Or has the test been conducted in this month? Why did you publish it not before May 10, 2013?
- Could you provide the complete list of countries which sent back all the letters in one month time?
Thanks a lot, Ludwig

So I was talking to my friend Glenn Hauman and he told me of a story he heard from someone who has spoken to Chris Claremont on a couple of occasions. And Glenn told me that this guy told him quite an interesting tale as to Chris Claremont's suggestion for an alternate ending to THE CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS.
Read on, if you dare!
Ready? Okay.
The Crisis happens pretty much as it did originally. One exception. In the final battle with the Anti-Monitor in Issue #12, Superman of Earth-1 is killed. That's right. EARTH-ONE Superman, Kal-El, dies.
After the Anti-Monitor is destroyed, Kal-L, the original super-hero and the Golden Age Superman of Earth-2, does not go into a paradise dimension conveniently discovered by Alexander Luthor of Earth-3 nor is it revealed the Alexander magically saved Lois from what should have been a certain death. No. The battle is over. Superman of Earth-2 looks down at the fallen Kal-El, considers how now he is alone, without a world and without his Lois, and the remaining, single Earth is now without a Superman. He remarks, "Don't need this anymore," and brushes his hand through his hair, wiping out the gray/white dye that he'd been apparently using for years to make it look like he was aging (along with some basic make-up, apparently).
The other heroes are surprised and Kal-L explains simply that he stopped aging when he reached the peak of his powers. And with that, he returns with them to the new, Post-Crisis Earth, to take the place of his Earth-1 counterpart. And John Byrne's revamp would thus proclaim the return of the "Original Super-Hero" as Kal-L (now switching to the spelling of Kal-El) began life on this new Earth, living a life that was like his own in some ways but was markedly different, such as how different this version of Lois was and how differently this Earth's Batman behaved towards him. But despite this "culture shock", he strove on, fighting the good fight as he always had, and recharged by the fact that he'd basically been given a new lease on life by being deposited back into the early days of this new Earth's modern heroic age.
Now again, this is second-hand information … But it certainly smells of Claremont and it's interesting to think about, no?
Just imagine …
Alan Kistler is a New Yorker in his mid-twenties who has been labeled a "continuity cop" and "comic book historian" in articles of Wikipedia.org and by several of his readers. He enjoys both those titles very much and loves the opportunity of writing these articles for Monitor Duty, run by the ever-patient Michael Hutchison. His fan-fiction blog can be found HERE. He would love to write for DC and Marvel some day. He also wants to time travel.

Hi, I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone knows the gun purchasing laws in Arizona. Namely how old you have to be to purchase a handgun...
Welcome. Don't know about Arizona but you must be 21 in Texas (probably gonna' be the same in most states).
Welcome aboard!
Federal law states you must be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed gun dealer.

Since President Obama took office the percentage of uninsured people in America has been steadily raising and has now reached a new high. From Gallup:
This rise in the number of uninsured is for the most part not the fault of the Obama administration. It is primarily the result of long term trends, rising health care costs, and the huge spike in unemployment during the economic crash, as workers lost their employer-provided insurance. Some smaller aspects of the Affordable Care Act, like young adults staying on their parents' plans, have even helped keep the level of uninsured from going even higher.
Still this development is deeply problematic for Mr. Obama. One of his biggest accomplishments that supporters tend to point to is his passage of the Affordable Care Act and its health insurance reforms.
I simply don't know how the Administration can successfully campaign on passing a law to expand coverage, when the level of uninsured has increased significantly during Obama's tenure. It is tough for people to see such a law is any form of a real accomplishment when over a year after its passage it hasn't even begun to accomplish its main promises and the exact opposite is taking place in people's lives.
Instead of campaigning on delivering for the American people with his signature legislation, Obama will be forced to explain that even though the insurance situation has gotten worse, voters need to trust his claims that his signature law will eventually improve things in the future.
"Eventual change in the future I hope you believe me about" just doesn't have that nice campaign ring to it.
The decision to delay the start date of the primary expansion in the Affordable Care Act until 2014 should be remembered as one of the most idiotic political and policy decisions ever made. I would argue that if Obama narrowly loses in 2012, it could be the single decision that is most responsible.
The Administration reportedly supported the delays to hold down near-term costs and achieve a more favorable 10-year cost estimate from the CBO. Almost no one will remember the bill's official CBO score come November 2012, but plenty of people will remember they haven't seen any tangle benefits from the law Obama spent a year working on in the middle of an economic and unemployment crisis.

90-Year-Old Man Marries A 15-Year-Old Girl In Saudi Arabia
An unnamed 90-year-old man from Saudi Arabia married a 15-year-old girl, but then complained to police when the girl had allegedly been taken back by the family.
He is saying that the family ripped him off, firstly selling him the girl for $20,000, and then taking her back home.
Despite the age difference, the marriage seems to be a legal one.
The full account of the man's story is yet to be verified, but nevertheless it seems that the girl will have to go to court to dispute the marriage formally.
It is believed by some that the girl and the older man got into some sort of dispute and that the girl left of her own accord.
There currently are no minimum marriage age requirements in Saudi Arabia, even though many are trying to set an age minimum.

I love Ethiopian food and I've been to several of NYC's Ethiopian restaurant. As amazing as the prices were, the dollar saving value combos were not good enough for me to go back. The small reason would be there was no traditional style dining, which is a portion of the experience. But the large and real reason is that the food wasn't that great. Yes it was spicy, no doubt about that (not that spice is a problem), but there was very little flavor to spice ratio. The best part about Ethiopian food is the way the flavors and the spice melts together to create a fabulous dish, but it just didn't do that for me here.

Highly recommend the combo platters, you get to try all sorts of flavors. It comes out on a giant platter with an injera bread topped with different stews and sauces. The injera bread is a bit sour and spongy and may take a few bites to get used to, also for some it may be a new experience eating with no utensils. But well worth it, everything is tasty and good value too!

Awash was recommended by a woman we sat next to at the Bistro Ten 18. She steered us right. Went for lunch and had some of everything on the lunch menu by ordering a veggie combo and the combo for one. Beautifully presented and phenomenlly good.

A friend and I, having never tasted Ethiopian cuisine, decided to dine at this restaurant last night. I must say, we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was simple, yet delicious, and our waitress was quite nice. The restaurant is small, but has a cozy atmosphere. The table we sat at jiggled a bit, though, so I was slightly concerned about the water glasses toppling over. The decorations are authentic-looking, which is quite appealing. I'd definitely recommend this place! The dishes are definitely worth their price, and are very filling.

I came here last night on a double date. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and the food was delicious. We'll all be back!
Posted by Lunacraft on 10/04/2009
I called to find out if Awash delivered, and I was told twice that they did. Then when I called to place my order for myself and a group of friends, I was rudely told that no one was there. I said that someone had just told me that there would be delivery, and I was given a nasty attitude by a man. He then proceeded to hang up on me, despite the fact that I had not had a chance to say more.

This place is a lot less expensive than all the other Ethiopian places I've been to. $23 combo with 3 meat dishes and 4 veggie dishes? For TWO people? Yup! And it wasn't just a dinner special, AND you can pick which types you want. So value wise, this place is definitely great. Same with atmosphere -> nice family joint. Two complaints from me, and why I probably won't go back despite it being great value. (1) Service was slightly slow. Took a while to get our order, but other than that the waitress was really friendly and nice. (2) The food wasn't the best. It was good no doubt, but I'm used to more flavor than just "spicy." Still, try it out! Maybe bring some people who've never had Ethiopian food and are scared to try it.

UAW Solidarity House | 8000 East Jefferson Avenue
Detroit, Michigan 48214 | p. (313) 926-5000
© Copyright 2014 UAW. All Rights Reserved.
America is in the throes of a profound jobs crisis that can only be solved by a major shift in our nation's fiscal, monetary and international trade policies.
President Obama's mid-September proposal to put Americans back to work and rebuild our nation's schools, roads, bridges, transit, ports, rail communications and energy systems was a necessary first step in focusing national attention on creating quality jobs.
The UAW calls upon Congress to immediately pass the American Jobs Act of 2011.
With current official unemployment above 9 percent, our economy needs at least 11 million new jobs just to get the unemployment rate down to pre-recession levels. There are 25 million people in America who need full-time work, and Congress should pass the president's jobs plan and other legislation to provide for the direct creation of millions of jobs in local communities, such as Rep. George Miller's "Local Jobs for America Act" or Rep. Jan Schakowsky's "Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act."
Job creation must be targeted to distressed communities and pay fair wages and benefits.
Congress must also extend the federal unemployment benefits program for at least another year. Extending unemployment benefits for jobless workers and providing relief for homeowners facing foreclosures would provide an immediate boost in consumer demand.
Congress also needs to avoid further attacks on public employees, and prevent state and local layoffs by providing for increased funding of Medicaid and additional investment directly to local communities to create jobs and restore public services. Deficit reduction should not come at the expense of jobs or cuts in Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
Recent demonstrations on Wall Street and other cities around the country reflect Americans' frustration with the financial sector diverting far too many resources from the productive domestic economy. Congress should also:
• Pass legislation to encourage more lending to small businesses.
• Enact a Financial Speculation Tax to discourage harmful speculation and make Wall Street pay to rebuild the economy it helped to destroy.
• Enforce tough safeguards to stop the kind of massive financial fraud that precipitated the crisis of 2008.
The president's jobs plan aims to revive American manufacturing through a set of necessary actions, including ending currency manipulation, reforming tax policy, enforcing and reforming our trade laws, strengthening government procurement policies and increasing investment in job training.
Congress should take concrete action to stem Chinese currency manipulation by passing the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011. It should also renew tax incentives for investments in advanced energy efficiency, end tax incentives that encourage the offshoring of good manufacturing jobs, enhance Buy America safeguards and reauthorize a robust Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program.
Congress has previously demonstrated its ability to pass legislation that saves and creates jobs. Specifically, the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program (ATVM) has been a welcome boost for the economy as we work to close the huge jobs gap caused by the Great Recession. This program has a demonstrated record of success by creating or saving 41,000 jobs in Tennessee, California, Indiana, Michigan, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio.
Before the end of this year, as many as 11 more companies are expected to receive ATVM loans, creating or retaining another 35,000 to 40,000 green jobs in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Louisiana. An additional 12 ATVM applications now in the early stages could create another 10,000 jobs next year.
Vehicles created with loans from this program are expected to save 311 million gallons of fuel annually. ATVM is a critical program to ensure that the fuel-saving cars of the future are not imported but are made here in the United States. To support and create jobs, strengthen America's manufacturing base and reduce our dependence on foreign oil, Congress needs to pass Fiscal Year 2012 Continuing Resolution that preserves funding for the U.S. Department of Energy's ATVM loan program.
Rather than taking the budget axe to additional social programs and Entitlements, President Obama would fund his $447 billion plan to create jobs largely by raising taxes on the very wealthy and multinational corporations. The jobs plan includes limits on itemized deductions for individuals who earn more than $200,000 a year and families that earn more than $250,000. The president's plan would also close oil and gas loopholes, and tax offshore profits of multinational companies.
We urge UAW members and retirees to join us in telling Congress to pass Obama's plan for job creation and economic recovery – now.

The UAW cannot use union dues money to make contributions to federal candidates and, in an ever-increasing number of states, any candidate for public office. Our only means of monetary support for many labor-friendly candidates is voluntary political contributions from UAW members, which are put into the International Union's political action fund, UAW V-CAP.
The UAW's V-CAP checkoff allows each member to make a modest contribution each month to help the union support candidates who care about American workers and their jobs. A $1 per month contribution amounts to less than a nickel a day, a $3 per month donation is only a dime a day, and so on.
If your employer does not have a checkoff mechanism in place, please contact your UAW regional office to learn how you can contribute to UAW V-CAP and help protect what we've negotiated at the bargaining table from being taken away in Congress.

So I call to check on my order and they owner said he not shipping me no 12 iPhone 6 plus and he going to call the police on me which I dont understand why.

"I bought a Sony Z3 D6603. I had a hard time figuring out which model, would get me LTE on AT&T in the USA. After calling Overseas Electronics and speaking to one of the store salesmen he helped me pick out this model and assured me I would have no problem getting LTE. I had them overnight the device and rest to sure I'm getting LTE 100%. I would recommend using them again in the future. ????"
"I ordered a cell phone on their website and called to confirm my order. The staff was very attentive and helped me immediately with my queries. I received the product in 2 business days. I made a simple request for free shipping and they acknowledge and gave me free shipping. I am very satisfied with the purchase. "
"Bought a lg g3 for myself and s5 for my wife. I was recommended by my friend who bought note 3 from overseas before. Item was as described, came in earlier than expected, brand new spotless phone. I was also given free shipping by using the code "ship4free" Also, it was the lowest price found among all other competetior stores. Will buy more in the future. "
"Bought Sony xperia Z2. I was recommended by one of my friend . Two things i like about overseas electronics one is lower price then Amazon and have largest selection of Unlocked mobile phone .They also gave me free shipping and charging dock .would recommend any one to check them out"
"Be careful
Large crooks, they sold my recycled phone Samsung galaxy s3!"
"Worst company ever. they sold me a Samsung galaxy s4 only to realize it was built for us in Africa with Vodacom. It wasn't factory unlocked as they said. They refused to refund my money or exchange after spending 549 dollars for it. it talks and text but no mobile data or text messages. So am suck with a useless phone. Please buy somewhere else."
"Worst company to do business with. They sold me a Samsung Galaxy S2 as new, the phone quit working after 12 month due to a totally unqualified repair / reconditioning. No response to e-mails asking for repair, exchange or refund. THIS IS FRAUD. I'll take them to small claims court."
"Terrible company, fraudulant , do not trust this site. When a price is too good to be true... guess what, it is. Not even gonna waste my time writing my story, been through it with them and my blood pressure is about to kill me."
"I ordered Nokia Lumia 1020 from overseas electronics and it did arrived 1 day before the estimated time. And then after i noticed the phone was locked so i contacted overseas sales team then they unlocked the phone for me within 1hour without charging me anything.
Thanks to overseas electronics :)"
"Thank you welectronics. Received my sony xperia z ultra before 1 day . I was surprised and amazed on how fast I received it. And also I could find the latest phones on your website which every other website dosen't have in stock. Even the price of your products was less when compared to other websites. The product was absolutely brand new. Thank you guys for the service you provide to the customers. Feeling satisfied.
"I went to purchase the Nokia 925 Black phone from them but they did not have in stock so I ended up getting the 925 Nokia in Grey color , Two days later I called to find out if they had the Black color in stock they did and they exchanged it for the color I wanted . As soon as they receive the Nokia 1020 Model I will buy from them too calling them everyday for stock ."
"The store salesperson tried to sell me a cell phone nokia lumia 920 like new.
Suspicious and checked through a code on the phone that the phone had over 37 hours of use!!
So the seller admitted that the cell phone was not new! :-(
I left the store without buying anything!
Do not buy the Overseas Electronics!!"
"I bought a PANASONIC NIS-500-TS IRON For 220 VOLTS and it is by far the worst product I have ever bought. Nothing worked, and after TWO uses, it died. I tried to call and complain and I could not get a hold of anyone. "
"terrible company, please stay away-- i never write bad reviews about businesses (as a matter of fact, this is the first one i am writing), but overseas electronics compelled me to create a city search account and write a negative review. their website is welectronics dot com...
this is a company of crooks and what they are doing is borderline illegal-- when a high-interest product is about to hit the market, they advertise it in a very, very low price for pre-order. you get a vague ETA. then, using your money, they order the product in quantities. once they are about to receive the product, the price on their website goes up, up, up-- for immediate delivery. then they tell you that "oh, your product didn't arrive yet. the ones that arrived are for other people." yada yada ya...
here is my cautionary tale: i saw the blackberry q10 advertised for $599 on their website. there was even a free shipping offer. i contacted them and understood this was a pre-sale. i had no qualms with that. i asked the ETA, i was told late april, early-may. i was still good with it. i made the payment then i started waiting.
i chatted with them the last week of april and i was told the phones arriving "late next week". immediately after my chat, when they got the definite ETA, the price went up to $899.
i called them on thursday, may 2, 2013-- i was told my phone has arrived and will ship the same day, or, latest, by friday. i confirmed this with chat again on friday-- they told me that the phones have arrived and it will be sent immediately.
when i chatted again friday PM though, this time they told me they did not receive the phones. when i pressed them on, asking them to explain, they said "oh, the phones have arrived, but they are not the UK spec'd phones-- the one we will send you is a UK spec'd, the ones we received are US spec'd-- which, again is a lie because on may 2, 2013, the US spec'd phones were not even released-- as a matter of fact the only phones available in the market were the UK spec'd. to assure this, i called them again, 10 minutes later, on a different line-- i asked them if they had the blackberry q10 in stock, they said YES. i asked them if it was the UK spec'd phone, they said YES.
they told me that the phone was available for immediate shipping if i placed an order for $899. obviously, the phone was not only available to poor suckers like me who pre-ordered it at a low price, and covered their overhead until they received the phones.
i was really upset-- asked for them to explain themselves (and their lies)-- having told twice my item has arrived. i gave them my phone number-- i was told someone would call me. but, instead, my order was CANCELED, without asking for my consent, and my money was refunded after a few days.
i guess they figured out they used me and my money enough and cut me lose.
there is a term for this kind of business- it is FRAUD. you collect money for a competitively priced item as a pre-sale, then, you secure the item, and, once secured, you start lying to the pre-order customers, and start selling their orders for a much higher price to others.
so, do your self a favor and stay away."

The Rat Tail Fish
More weird looking fish for this week: "Grenadiers or rattails (less commonly whiptails) are generally large, brown to black gadiform marine fish of the family Macrouridae. Found at great depths from the Arctic to Antarctic, members of this family are among the most abundant of the deep-sea fishes. The Macrouridae are a large and &hellip Continue reading

Wide ReceiversThe biggest changes in the UNM offense this season will be seen in the wide receiver and tight end corps, where the Lobos lost three starters and seven veteran lettermen from 2003. Among the list of the departed is a 32-game starter in tight end Bryan Penley along with Dwight Counter and Adrian Boyd, who combined for 72 catches, 1,357 yards and nine touchdowns a year ago. "We lost a lot of firepower at wide receiver due to graduation and we have to fill the hole left at tight end," said Long. "We've got some quality guys, but that group is going to have to improve before the season starts." Fortunately, the Lobos have a promising wide receiver to build around in junior Hank Baskett, who was third on the team last year with 17 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns. A dedicated player on the practice field and on gameday, the 6-4, 215-pound Baskett is a big target and a real threat in the red zone. Also a three-time all-MWC high jumper and a former standout hurdler at Clovis (N.M.) High School, Baskett is deceptively fast and athletic in the open field. After a preseason injury slowed him in his first collegiate season, Baskett made major strides last fall and, coming off an outstanding spring, appears poised for a stellar 2004 campaign. "Hank continues to get better and he's going to have to be a key guy in our offense," said Long. "We expect him to continue his improvement and we also expect some real help out of some freshmen and JC transfers to make that group as good as it was last year. We've got several guys in the program now who need to continue to improve what they do, but all of them are good athletes who will have a chance to prove they can play." Among the returnees are redshirt freshmen Marcus Smith and Major Mosley. Smith, who began his UNM career at running back, was a pleasant surprise during the spring. An athletic 6-3, 202 pounds, Smith proved to be a dangerous deep threat during the spring and should have a bright future as he improves his technique and consistency. Mosley also displayed excellent potential during his redshirt season before suffering a knee injury, which kept him out of contact drills during the spring. Another big, athletic target at 6-3, 215 pounds, Mosley made a big impression in the weight room, despite his knee injury, and could emerge as a solid player for the Lobos in 2004. A pair of veteran scout team receivers in senior Mart'n Romero and junior Mike Powdrell will also have a chance to break into the rotation. Romero (5-11, 194), a former running back, found a home at wide receiver last year, appearing in two games and displaying good quickness and solid hands in practice. Powdrell (5-10, 185), meanwhile, brings excellent athleticism to the group and could vie for time this fall.
"We also expect some real help out of some freshmen and JC transfers to make that (wide receivers) group as good as it was last year. We've got several guys in the program now who need to continue to improve what they do, but all of them are good athletes who will have a chance to prove they can play."
-Head coach Rocky Long
The wildcard in the mix could be senior Curtis Flakes, a converted cornerback who finished the spring atop the depth chart opposite Baskett. A hard-worker and tenacious presence on the field, Flakes' spring performance was reminiscent of former starter Adrian Boyd, who moved from tailback to wideout as a junior. Like Boyd, Flakes established himself as both a rushing and receiving threat, particularly on screen plays and running in the Lobos' fly-motion package. Chris Brawley was the only one of the Lobos' three junior college transfer wide receivers to participate in spring practice. As is expected of newcomers, the 6-3, 213-pounder was a little raw, but displayed real potential and should find a home in the receiver rotation with continued improvement. Another transfer in the hard-working Anthony Carter (6-0, 190) could also make an impact this fall.

Arthritis Walk at APD benefited local 4th Grader
October 1, 2012—Sixty local residents put on their walking shoes to help a local fourth grader by joining the Arthritis Walk on Saturday, September 29, at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, NH.
Anika Eastman, age 9, of Hartland, Vermont, has lived each day with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since her diagnosis at age three. Kirsten Eastman, a Occupational Therapist at APD, was "pleased that the Arthritis Foundation and APD teamed to host this local event and was encouraged that Upper Valley residents helped raise over $10,000 for research and support those living with arthritis, including my daughter Anika."
Arthritis impacts more than 50 million Americans and in the last decade alone, the number of affected Americans has grown by more than three million. To date there are some 300,000 US children who are living with the pain of arthritis. Arthrit¬is Walks are the signature fundraising events for the Arthritis Foundation. Their rallying cry, Let's Move Together®, is a nationwide movement encouraging people to get up and get moving to help prevent and treat arthritis.

Posted on Signe's Website www.signeastrology.com
Dear Consciousness Seekers,
As we watch horror stricken at the extreme cruelty and insane evil actions of the terrorist group ISIS, images of Hitler and the Nazis who rose to power the last time Uranus was in Aries come to haunt as a Cycle repeats itself. The Planetary Cycles do not make people behave a certain way; they act as spotlights bringing to the surface the lessons we as a collective still need to learn. Though patterns repeat themselves, the end result does not have to be the same. The main difference now is that it is on television and the internet so evil is exposed and the world can take action. During Hitler's reign of terror, many in the USA said let's not get involved, "it's over there". Millions of lives were lost as a result which culminated in World War II. It is naïve to believe that evil and unwarranted aggression won't affect us and the whole world. Then we have Putin the president of Russia wanting to take over the Ukraine. It is truly so sad that there even exists those who want world domination, control over women, hatred of religious beliefs that aren't theirs, etc. A young man being interviewed in Iraq about ISIS cried "I can't believe Muslims are slaughtering Muslims". Life is our most precious gift and those who do not value it have lost their Souls. Countries that were antagonist toward certain other countries are now working together to eliminate this latest global threat. In the long run, way down the road this will help bring about the changes that are necessary for Universal brotherhood. A common enemy helps to unite. As a reminder we are in the infant stage of the Aquarian Age which is the Age of brother hood that sages and seers the world over have talked about for centuries. Much has to occur and be healed before it can grow to maturity and become a reality. The United States' chart is greatly impacted by Pluto in Capricorn opposing its' Sun in Cancer, which started this year and continues through 2015. It is a time of great change and challenge. The last time Pluto was in the sign of Capricorn lead to the creation of the United States of America and defined us as a nation and our role on this earth. Also at the same time currently we have Pluto in conflict with Uranus breaking down and clearing away that which no longer works on many different levels, collectively and personally as well. Change is sudden and often without warning and this includes the weather and earth changes as well. We are being bombarded with so much, that it is essential to stay calm and to focus on what is truly important in Life. What can you do personally to eliminate stress? The more you are attached to things or a person being a certain way, the more upset and stressed you become. An important key to navigating through these times is to be flexible and not be overly attached to outcomes. It can be a time of profound change by examining your Life and looking at what you need to change inwardly and outwardly. For some it is a rude awakening, thank God you are seeing what needs to seen. Life is about your Soul's growth and evolution. That old saying that everything happens for the best, is for your Soul, not your ego. Things happen in Life that can be tragic to the personal self; while on a Soul level expands and enhances. Some Souls choose a path of pain and carry within them the suffering of the Christ pattern. To look at someone else's Life without understanding their Soul patterns is to not understand what their Life is about. That is one of the great gifts of Astrology in the hands of a true professional, the ability to see clearly what that individual's Life is truly about. As the Planets move after your birth, they periodically form relationships/angles with the Planets in your Chart, and new events, lessons and opportunities show up in your Life. If we honor the Cycles and what they are trying to teach us, we move forward empowered. Saturn is one of the greatest teachers we each get in Life. Saturn is going into the sign of Sagittarius on December 23rd, and except for a few months when it retrogrades back into Scorpio, it will in Sagittarius till late December 2017. This is Life changing for the Sagittarians. This is one of the many things I discuss on my 2015 two CD Set of Wobbles and Cycles. How best to handle Saturn. Most of the Wobbles in 2015 are in the Cardinal signs of Aries, Capricorn, Cancer and Libra which impacts these signs and are extremely important for the world because they will be triggering the Pluto/ Uranus pattern of world change. Wobble dates are on 2015 CDs . This is why, among other things it is so critical to get your Birthday Solar Return Chart checked out before your Birthday. It is as if the Cycles have nuclear power behind them. When you have Planets in your Solar Return section of health, it is more difficult to stay healthy. The ideal is not to have Planets there. The one factor that cannot be changed is the Solar Return Part of Fortune position in the Birthday Chart. Though it cannot be moved as it is similar to a Vortex, it can be supported by a Planet. The Part of Fortune in the sections 8th, 6th and 1st of a person's Birthday Chart can be extremely dangerous. At a recent Solar Return Workshop there was an individual who had the Part of Fortune in the 8th section which is critical and can often (not always) reflect a Life and Death process. The person as a result of the Workshop went for a thorough checkup and it was discovered she was having a critical illness and is currently fighting for her Life. If she had waited any longer she would not have the chance to overcome this, though miracles can always happen. When I send someone on a Birthday trip who needs to go a great distance, it is to give them the best possible Chart given the Planetary hand they are being dealt on their Birthday. Sometimes just going a state over can make a huge difference. For example if you have Saturn in your money section of your Chart, just moving that can make a big financial difference. When someone is going through a difficult time, a Birthday trip can help mitigate how things turn out. The further you travel in miles for your Birthday the more dramatically you change your Chart for the year. Many of my clients' Birthday locations are in the United States as that may be all that it takes to have a good Birthday Chart. If after my analysis, the Birthday Chart is fine for staying home, I explain that to my client. The Planetary patterns in the Birthday Solar Return Chart are getting more difficult due to the Planets relationship with one another. When Mercury is retrograde at the time of the current Birthday, it is vastly important where it is in the Solar Return Chart as it will be in that section for a year. This can have a big impact professionally, financially, etc. The best Planet to bring positive changes and support to a particular area of your Life is the Planet Venus. It is more helpful than Jupiter.SOLAR RETURN WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE April 11th 2015 LOS ANGELES In this Solar Return Workshop, I will look at your current or upcoming Solar Return Birthday Chart and discuss with you individually, within the context of the workshop, what the key patterns of your Birthday Chart are and what they mean.

Here's what I take from this:
1. There's no reason to have blue lights on your vehicle when you're not in law enforcement - makes him look suspicious.
2. There's no reason to have a bodyguard (he's not well known) - makes him look arrogant.
3. There's no reason for a person with upstanding moral character to be out that late - makes it look like he's partying.
4. One will be able to tell alot by if he talks about this in his services, and if he does, what he says.
5. Looks like another "minister" on the wrong side of the law - breaks God's heart how bad they represent HIM
too funny Jay Barker wasn't even mentioned. So tired of listening to him talk like he is the ultimate authority on the NFL. Shut up & let Del Greco talk - he had a real NFL career.....
Some of the tickets are ridiculous. I know of someone who was ticketed for not stopping behind the line. If you stop behind the line, you can't see clearly through the intersection - the line is painted too far back. On top of that, the video showed that no one else was at the intersection. Ridiculous! Yes, I agree it's only about money. Has anyone heard of any wrecks in these areas that caused death &/or destruction? Nope! And I don't think it's legal for non-currently in service deputies to review videos & sign off on tickets - Center Point does not have a "police dept" so it has to be the currently active law enforcement that has jurisdiction, and that would be Jefferson County deputies.
Embarrassing; no other word for it.
I am embarrassed to call Birmingham my home. At the very least, the city council should not have said or done anything. To wear hoodies tells our young people it's acceptable to look, dress & act like gangsters. Furthermore, I don't want to see any more demonstrations or hear comments about all this unfair racism. Those that protest are the most racist of all, because if you were truly outraged with the opinion that the young man was killed because of his race, you would be equally offended when the victim is another race. Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson are also hypocrites and are not truly interested in equality among races, they are interested in black supremacy, WHICH IS RACIST!!!!! This country is approx 67% Caucasian, and you dont see groups like the National Assoc. for the advancement of White people, the Caucasian caucus (in Washington) etc.....
Does NO ONE remember why this country was founded in the first place? So govt would not be able to INTRUDE so much in one's life. Govt is not supposed to provide everything for everybody; nor is it supposed to FORCE you to buy anything! EVERYTHING the govt has taken over has been a MISERABLE FAILURE!!!!!
I have lived here for almost 13 years. Every time I've gone to renew my car tags, I've seen the same thing. Most of the people in that office work slower than Christmas. Even with the cuts and closing satellite courthouses, getting your cartag could be ALOT faster if these employees would get off their rear ends and increase the pace. I'm not saying they have to be frenzied, but what I've seen everytime I've been in there is RIDICULOUS!!!
so if they require insurance companies to provide coverage for birth contrlo & sterilization, I assume that to include vasectomy (?). That procedure is the smarter way to go! Lets see how many of our male govt leaders line up for that!
so if they require insurance companies to provide coverage for birth contrlo & sterilization, I assume that to include vasectomy (?). That procedure is the smarter way to go! Lets see how many of our male govt leaders line up for that!
I disagree, sabantheman - he should receive a fair trial first, and then, assuming he is convicted, then he can be shot....
while disregarding my screen name, please let me know what gifts are appropriate for legislators - stuff they can use in their office too - like copy paper & post-it notes?
have to wonder.....city proposes buying property long enough to have cause other deal to fall through; now they back out so as not to spend $5.5 mil, have kept expected rif-raf out of area by not allowing thrift store to open, have raised taxes for more city revenue.....yes city won big on this one.....great manuevering on their part.
Not a resident myself, so have no dog in the hunt. But residents better make sure city officials have your best interests at heart b/c they are quite powerful.
This guy is an idiot and doesn't deserve to be called a pastor if he's teaching that you get to heaven by works. It is clear in Acts 16:31, Romans 10:13, John 11:25, & John 6:40 how one gets saved.
So sorry to hear this. My daughter used to work at the zoo & really enjoyed the gorillas. I def. think this should be investigated since this is the 2nd time.
I am a native Texan that has lived in Birmingham for the past 12 yrs. I can tell you that even I thought collegiate Texas football was on the same level as the SEC. Not true. All TAMU has ever done is whine as to why they aren't higher in the polls, yet they've NEVER proven it on the field. That's why it was such a joke that Francione left here to go to TAMU.
Letting TAMU in the SEC will not benefit the SEC at all. It will only benefit TAMU because they will get an equal share of $, unlike how the BIG 12 handles money. TAMU will only bring the SEC down. I for one am quite disappointed that the SEC would even consider letting them in - expanding the geographic area of the SEC is a mistake too. Teams/fans already have to travel too far sometimes as it is.
I'll make this simple - can anyone please tell me what happens to my bill if they file because I already know what happens when they haven't. Will it continue to go up either way?
I have had a student attending there or considering attending there for the last 5 years. They have REPEATEDLY gone up a significant amount each year on tuition. To be fair to the kids considering attending, and considering if they can afford it, the school should decide if they're raising tuition WELL BEFORE the commit date of MAY 1. But of course, that is NEVER done. I distinctly remember the tuition hike annoucement being made one year in August, effective with the school year that was to begin in 2-3 weeks.
Despite their athletic success, UA is less and less of an attractive option for a college education with each passing semester. I have a child who will attend an out of state, private school and it is FULLY funded - tuition, book, room & board - everything. His offer from UA was tuition only, no books or room & board. UA just didn't compare at all.
Another child of mine who attended there was grossly disappointed at the mickey mouse 7th grade level classes she was in. She was paying way too much money & learned absolutely nothing while she was there.
Perhaps the curriculum and budgeting powers that be at UA should take some lessons from Saban. Saban is a master at what he does and could teach some lessons to those responsible for providing a challenging academic courseload that makes graduates competitive in the job market, and being able to attend a school that does an excellent job at preventing costs from rising so much each year. Then perhaps UA would be a school that had more to brag about than just their athletics.
Unless you attend the trial in its entirety, no one can accurately comment on the guilt/innocence of the police officers. The media, yes even the wonderful al.com, does an extraordinary job of snipping video/editing out important story details all the time to sensationalize the story to boost ratings on tv & radio, & increase hits online. I saw the snippet of video on this website, but that is not the entire video & I'm told if you see the whole thing (or experience the whole thing as the officers in question did) then you might have a different opinion. Proponents of both sides should be completely educated as to the facts presented in this case before commenting.......

I was in my junior year of college, and had gone to the student union center to cash a check - no ATMS back then! All of a sudden several people started running to the tv lounge down the hall. I went down there also. The shuttle had just exploded and as a previous entry mentioned, I have never seen anything like that except when I saw the second tower hit live on tv on 9/11. Being college students & in our own stress-free cocoon, nobody really got upset, but I remember it well. I can't believe it's already been 25 years.

Gallo Pinto or gallopinto is a traditional dish of Costa Rica and Nicaragua made with rice and beans. The history of Gallo Pinto is not well known, and there are disputes between Costa Ricans and Nicaraguans about where the dish originated.[1][2][3] One theory suggests that gallo pinto was brought into Latin America by African slaves that migrated into Latin America .[4] Most Latin Americans agree that the dish is part of both countries now and that they share more similarities than differences.[citation needed] Variations of gallo pinto are popular in many countries close to the Caribbean.[citation needed]
Gallo pinto means "spotted rooster" in Spanish. The name is said to originate in the multi-colored or speckled appearance that results from cooking the rice together with black or red beans. Beans are quickly cooked until the juice is almost consumed.
There are other variations of this dish. Similar dishes are known as Moros y Cristianos ("Moors and Christians") in Spain and Cuba, or just Moro. A similar dish can be found in Panama and in El Salvador, where it is called casados or casamiento. Other variations include using pigeon peas or kidney beans usually instead of black beans in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico along with coconut milk. Similar dishes exist in Colombia (calentado paisa) and even Peru (tacu tacu).[citation needed]
Recently, empanadas filled with gallo pinto have become a popular alternative for people who have little time to eat breakfast.[citation needed]13

Happy New Year- you are bringing it in right!
We are homebodies on New Year's Eve. I'm too chicken to go driving around with all the drinkers. Guess that's what happens when you're married to a fireman. You just hear and see too much. I will be more like you and be in comfy clothes with the TV on. I'm just happy that my husband doesn't have to work that night.

So, we'll watch the ball drop -- or Kathy embarrass Anderson on CNN -- from our couch! Chinese takeout sounds good; we might have to borrow your tradition. Wishing you a very happy 2014; may your fortunes far outweigh your misfortunes.

Art History and Fetishism Abroad: Global Shiftings in Media and Methods
written by Gabriele Genge
Transcript-Verlag | ISBN 9783837624113
Member's price: $69.30
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
By focusing on the various modes and media of the fetishised object, this anthology shifts the debates on thingness into a new global art historical perspective. The contributors explore the attention given to those material images, in both artistic and cultural practice from the heyday of colonial expansion until today. They show that in becoming vehicles and agents of transculturality, so called ''fetishes'' take shape in the 17th to 19th century aesthetics, psychology and ethnography - and furthermore inspire a recent discourse on magical practice and its secular meanings requiring altered art historical approaches and methods.
