Corporate Advocacy Program™
By Julie J. Arnez––
Over the last several days, the company Kleargear.com aka Chenal Media has become a glowing target on our radar screen that tracks "trouble and deception" on the internet. The Kleargear, located in California and Michigan initially got our attention from insiders who had been reporting Kleargear and its owners William Bermender, Tom Rifkin and Han Reinelt had been screwing consumers for years. When they were placed on Ripoff Report they knew the gig was up and soon their actions, would warrant a full scale investigation by government agencies.
Shortly after reviewing numerous public internet postings we were given an inside tip by two disgruntled investors regarding a news broadcast that they stated; "seemed very odd, to say the least".
The news broadcast claimed; "A Consumer Fined For Posting a Negative Review Online" which was apparently fact checked by KUTV and investigative reporter, Matt Gephardt.
According to the story, Kleargear.com had a new way of silencing critics (previously they used another tactic against consumers – more on that later) they story also claimed wildly successful consumer advocacy website Ripoff Report wanted $2,000 to remove a consumer report. This sent our research department reeling, because they had already verified that Ripoff Report has spent millions in legal fees (being sued more than 80 times to try and force Ripoff Report to remove reports) there is no way Ripoff Report would take $2,000 or any amount of money to remove a Ripoff Report and Ripoff Report went on the record saying they do not want consumers to get into a situation of being threatened by big business into removing their Report, scaring them with a lawsuit, which would result in other unsuspecting consumers getting ripped off again by the same business.
Hint: this is where it starts getting really interesting.
According to the Internet Archive 'The Way Back Machine', the clause mentioned in the news story didn't even exist when Jen Palmer ordered from KlearGear. That suggests that KlearGear made a demand for money to Jen Palmer based on a contract she never signed
When companies attempt to enforce bizarre hidden clauses in form contracts — its called "contracts of adhesion" — But a lawsuit isn't at the heart of KlearGear's despicable tactic. Ruining the credit of its critics is:
KlearGear asserts falsely that someone accepted a contractual term, and asserts a debt based on that false statement, and reports that debt to credit agencies, that's fraud. It's not just a civil wrong, it's a crime.
Tried and True Reference Checking––Telephone, Email and Shoe Leather
We contacted several former Kleargear, Chenal Media executives through email, telephone calls and lunch meetings to get a clear picture of how this scheme worked. We interviewed people who were with the company at its inception. In fact, not one past employee had anything good to say about Harold W Bermender AKA William Franklin Bermender,Kleargear, Chenel Media, iHaniel, Havaco Direct, Tom Rifkin, or Han Reinett.
Up until recently Kleargear.com had a "Chargeback and Dispute Policy" clause where they would fine you $550, send you to a collections agency, and add you to the badcustomers.com blacklist (since shutdown as a scam by the FTC in 2011) if you attempted to get your credit card to stop payment on an item in dispute. The badcustomers.com threat was in the T&C as recently as August 2013, even though the site hasn't existed for 2 years.
Kleargear's Suite # is 19886 in both California and Michigan locations. This is also the suite # associated with parent company Chenal Media, but it only shows up if you look at a cache of chenalmedia.com. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4_lK8y9I6noJ:chenalmedia.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Chenal Media website is actually the Total S.A website. Check the source code of the page (view-source: http://chenalmedia.com/ . It redirects to http://total.com/en So does http://www.chenalco.com
Total S.A. is a french oil and gas company. So is Chenal Media pretending to be Total S.A., did somebody buy their website and redirect it, or did Total S.A. buy those websites and redirect them in order to [obfuscate the truth of Chenal Media?]
They also have a ChenalCorp.com website, but it will not pull up. The cached version doesn't have much information. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:l_kjzd5dcSoJ:chenalcorp.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Is it possible that this is a money-laundering operation? What would explain the almost invisible, or possibly non-existent, employees/executives and unusual operations other than something shady?
The many live of William Franklin Bermender
So, what started as a basic investigation into Kleargears credentials quickly heated up when it was revealed that they recently raised $7 million yet customers had been threatened for years with retaliation when the products they ordered never arrived.
When I visited their homepage for the first time, it struck me that TRUSTe would certify a shop with such awful Terms of Service. Turns out they didn't.
- A source within TRUSTe informs me that genuine seals are clickable links leading to a certification page; this is just an image on KlearGear's page.
- KlearGear is not in TRUSTe's searchable database of certified sites.
- My source within TRUSTe confirms that KlearGear.com has never been TRUSTe certified.
Kleargear outright lied at their homepage: http://www.truste.com/consumer-privacy/trusted-directory/?radio=url&search=kleargear&submit=Search69
The "5-Star Merchant eTAILERratings" seal on their home page. It's not clickable. When you go to that site and search for kleargear.com, guess what?
They also have a fake BBB rating on their page.
I'm actually wondering, given all the misrepresentation, legally unenforceable policies (such as the $550 disputed charge fee, the bogus non-disclosure "agreement" etc.), the fact that they're not shipping promised goods, etc., if they're even a real business. I'm wondering if the business was set up primarily as a scam, not an e-tailer...
Multiple older press releases list a Will Bermender as the president of KlearGear:
"It's the coolest office toy ever made," said KlearGear.com President and Chief Geek Will Bermender.
"Our new affiliate program is the perfect win-win situation where we can introduce our cutting edge gadgets to new audiences, while also sharing financial rewards with web site owners," said Will Bermender, President at KlearGear.com.
It got even better when one of our investigators sat down for a lunch meeting with a former employee, and not only heard, but got to see the intensity and disgust in their face when asked about Bermender and his shell company companies Klear Gear, Havaco Direct and Chenal Media. They told us Havaco Direct has used the same San Antonio address as William Bermender which they confirmed for showing us the local White Pages. Bermender after being reported on Ripoff Report then relocated to Arkansa with an address located on Chenal Valley Dr, Apt 2304 (no coincidence – Chenal Media & Chenal Brands)
In another phone interview, a warehouse manager for KlearGear said of Bermender; "It was like he was invisible, except for his pathetic penchant for name dropping". Another sales executive stated; "Bermender was associated with badcustomer.com tried desperately to get his new con off the ground by bilking investors out of $7 million dollars through Chenal Media.
The LinkedIn page for Will Bermender says he's in LA, so is this the same Will? Well, we do know that Chenal owns KlearGear, but is this the same as Chenal Media? Yes it is!
Will decided to use his gadget gains to break into the Hollywood biz. And all we need to do to confirm that the Chenal Brands and KlearGear/Chenal are the same is check out the name on the bottom of the press release announcing Chenal Media's funding.
Secretary of State has a listing for Havaco Direct, Inc. It filed an Application for Certificate of Authority in 2005. It states that Havaco is a DE corp and lists its Director and President as William Bermender. It forfeited its existence in 2007. Yet in 2012 William Bender is on Free Lancer hiring people under Havaco to write fake reviews for Kleargear to try and dilute his victims reports on consumer advocacy websites (see below)
Bermender sent a letter to the Texas Comptroller that is also on file with the Texas Secretary of State. The letter, dated November 2011, states, in short, that Bermender was an outside contractor for Havaco in 2005, but he was never an officer or director ("Apparently, my name erroneously appears in state records for this organization – without my knowledge or consent."). Bermender asks that the Comptroller and SOS remove his name in connection with the company.
Bermender's letterhead contains an email address with @ChenalCo.com
Kleargear fines their customers $3,500 for writing real reviews, yet they pay contractors for fake reviews. I wonder how Will Bermender will try to scrub his ads on Freelancer.com?

Fabricated Claims Makes Matt Gephardt and KUTV the Perfect Stooge
In the final analysis, it becomes clear that KUTV failed to do even rudimentary fact-checking. The trouble is, they missed the main story of the tactics of Kleargear, William Bermender. You see, we also learned through numerous interviews and internet postings that the reason Kleargear panicked is they were reported on Ripoff Report. If it were not for Ripoff Report, KUTV would not have had a story.
What started as a basic investigation into Kleargear's credentials quickly heated up when it was revealed Kleargear.com past, we reached out to Ripoff Report and asked them to enlighten us on KlearGear and Jen Palmer here is their reply:
Ripoffreport.com expresses sympathy, concern, and admiration for Jen Palmer in this situation. Jen stood up and told the world about her problems with customer service from Kleargear.com. That is a service to consumers everywhere. Ripoffreport.com condemns the practice of imposing penalties on consumers who use freedom of speech to warn other consumers.
This situation shows the importance of Ripoffreport.com's uniform policy to not remove consumer complaints. Jen Palmer faces tremendous pressure to silence herself by removing the Report.
Ripoffreport.com will not remove consumer complaints. It was erroneously reported that it would cost Jen Palmer $2,000 to remove her Report about Kleargear.com, because there is no such option. Ripoff Report does not remove complaints for money.
There is an option to post updates to the report at no charge to anyone. For example, if Kleargear.com reconsiders its decisions, Jen Palmer could post an update to tell other consumers how the situation was resolved.
This information will remain posted on the internet so that smart consumers can get good information and make informed choices. $2000 is the cost of Ripoff Report's VIP Arbitration Program - a program that removes only challenged statements of facts in a Report that are found to be to be false after presentation of evidence to an independent arbitrator. Even in this instance, the report is not removed. Only challenged statements of fact that are found to be false by the arbitrator. Again, to be clear, Ripoff Report will not remove Reports for money and any information to the contrary is not accurate.
This kind of activity by KlearGear.com is very troubling to Ripoff Report and it looking into the situation and to possibly help Jen Palmer.
If the reported facts are true, it seems very unlikely that the penalty clause imposed by Kleargear.com would be legally enforceable. And, Kleargear.com could face serious penalties if a civil court found that Jen Palmer's credit was damaged by inappropriate conduct. Ripoffreport.com is very interested in further developments in this situation.
Ripoff Report has spent millions in legal fees over the years. We have been sued more than 80 times to try and force Ripoff Report to remove reports, spending hundreds of thousands to not remove even one Report, .. there is no way Ripoff Report would take $2,000 or any amount of money to remove a Ripoff Report. Period.
Even the TV News station left that part out about the $2,000 cost to remove Reports from their news story .. they know better. Jen Palmer just had the wrong information about our policy.

Opinions can sometimes become facts.
Example: If you type in 271454 at this site and scroll all the way down to the consumer comment that was posted on September 3, 2007 at Ripoff Report #271454 you can read the following:
Quote: "The Collapse of the U.S. economy is in its infancy. Get all of your money out of the stock market and cash in your retirement NOW!"- September 3, 2007
That was an opinion on September 3, 2007. One year later, in September of 2008, it became a fact. On September 29, 2008, the stock market crashed and the banking system and several large Wall Street corporations were on the verge of collapsing and had to be bailed-out by the American people with hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer's money from the TARP. You can 'Google' this- FRONTLINE: INSIDE THE MELTDOWN, and watch that documentary on the web for proof.

Alleged Extortion The Wave of the Future?
AUTHOR: Frederick - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 21, 2013POSTED: Thursday, November 21, 2013
One of the problems I see here is that if this apparently (in my opinion) extortionist "company" is permitted to get away with committing this possible crime against its unwitting customers, other perpetrators will see dollar signs and jump on to the band-wagon and do likewise.
I would suggest that victims contact the FBI first, file a report (http://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/) The FBI will only look at a possible criminal case if the damage is $10,000 or more per victim, and even then the FBI must take the issue to their DA who then decides whether to instigate formal criminal procedings, yet the alleged extortion per victim of this extant "company" falls short of the $10,000 "go" value so the FBI in most cases will suggest that the alleged crime is a civil matter. Thing is, the FBI compiles statistics and reports on *modes* of racketeering so it is always useful to send the FBI reports on such alleged activities.
This forces victims to file civil charges which must run through the courts and cost victims more than the alleged extortion dollar value. At the same time the alleged criminals are filing RICO predicate act lawsuits against its victims to abuse the legal system in to committing its alleged extortion for them. This prompts the need to create a Class Action lawsuit to stop the alleged extortion, recover fees, and punish or dismantle the "company" to make it stop.
How filthy. It leaves me wondering whether the individual running this "company" is associated with Scientology.
My opinions only, of course, and only my opinions.

I believe that exposing your Ripoff Report on the worldwide web was a good idea. A Harvard Business Professor told his class of executives in late 2004 that exposure is a corporation's worst fear. You can type in 269041 at this site and scroll down to the consumer comment entitled "Blame it on a Lawyer" at Ripoff Report #269041 and read more of what the good professor said to his class of executives in late 2004.
Good luck to you, and make sure to expose your Ripoff Report all over the web at sites like Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook every day!

Music and Business together in coexistence, can there be a place for this? We place so much emphasis on the 3 "R's" we fail to see the importance of the basic learning development skills in art and music. But these are the skills and senses that we use automatically and subconsciously each day and all day long.
Visuals and colors:
wardrobe/shoes/shirt/tie/makeup/hair/office decor
Sounds and rhythm:
alarm clock/coffee machine/traffic/subway/airport/radio/people walking/people typing/feng-shui/art/conversation
Our environment is filled with artistic and musical sensations that we act on and live in from the moment we wake till we turn in, yet we seldom even think that music and art intersect, compliment and strengthen our business skills.
While CEO's orchestrate a company and it's people towards innovation and profit, Music Directors and Conductors lead musicians to exceed beyond the expectations of their skill sets to maximize performances and create audience experiences. If this resonates a tone to leadership, innovation, trust(brand loyalty) and client experience, that's because there is a sharp relationship. The discipline and structure behind the mathematics of music, resolve harmony from dissonance and rhythm from syncopation. A single note which stands out as a lead tone, but a chord requires a triad of 3 notes, like a team. The sound of your chord depends on the mixture of tones you put together creating harmony, dissonance, sadness, fear and tranquility. Who is a part of your team? What are the expectations of your team?
This is why we are proud to have a roster of musicians who are also professional speakers. They educate us to see, through the sense of hearing. Through the rules of music, we can achieve greater business goals. And let's not forget how important music can be from an entertainment value prospective. Live music allows us launch innovation and celebrate our success.
-Greg Fortin

At the time of writing this, there are only two people alive today who were born in the 1800s. That makes them 115 years old. Can you imagine? To be that old, it's part genetic...and part attitude!
I had the great fortune of becoming friends with a lady in New York City who lived to be 111. She had no fancy workout routines or crazy diet regimens. Rather, her secrets to happiness are secrets we can all embrace today!
One thing to note: happiness is not just a feel-good thing.
The research shows that happiness boosts productivity; happy people sleep better which leads to improved health; and happy people are more likable. When one is likable, you want to work with them, you want to support them, you want to be around them.
As Maya Angelou said, "People never remember what you say. They never remember what you do. But they always remember how you made them feel."
So how can you feel happy (or happier) right this moment?
These are 3 tips from the 111 year old lady who inspired my new book Happy is the New Healthy:
1. Get Back On Your Feet
The 111 year old lady was married five times! That means she got knocked down four times and got back up a fifth. Whether it's a matter of finances, career, health, love... everybody gets knocked down in life. Some people stay down for years...maybe forever. As the 111 year old teaches, you've got to get up. Keep on truckin! It's not that bad things don't happen to happy people. HAPPY PEOPLE HAPPEN TO BAD THINGS.
2. Laugh Your Ass Off
When the social worker tried to help the 111 year old lie down because he thought she was tired...she said, "Are you propositioning me?" She was still making x-rated jokes at 111. We all have something happening in our lives that is difficult. If we could come to it with a sense of humor, we'd be so much better off. As Henry Beecher said, "A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs, jolted by every pebble in the road."
3. Eat More Chocolate
When I asked the 111 year old for her tips on health and longevity, she did NOT say, "Oh, you gotta be gluten free" or "Oh, I'm paleo" or "Low carb all the way!" Rather, her advice was: sex, vodka, and spicy food. JOIE DE VIVRE!
Eat more chocolate. Take more naps. Enjoy your nightly glass of red wine. Such behavior is seen in almost all of the supercentenarians (people 110 or older) alive today. From square dancing to bowling to sipping on homemade brandy, they milk every ounce of life from their epic journeys. The oldest lady of all time, Jeanne Calment, lived to be 122. She ate 2 pounds of chocolate each week!
If we could all find a moment each day to savor, we would be so much happier. I call it The BFD Mantra: A beautiful, funny, and delicious moment each day keeps the stress away!

- Mel Brooks
We live in a world that is absolutely flooded with content from every angle. It doesn't matter if you're giving a speech, creating a video for youtube, or sending an email to a potential buyer- you've got to engage your audience at their core. There are five helpful keys I've found to captivate someone's attention, and keep it.
I love the line by Mel Brooks because it helps us start with the person we know best- ourselves. This simple litmus test is a wonderful check point to constantly return to. If we find the sentence in our email, the scene in our movie, or the line in our speech engaging, then we can gauge whether or not the audience will. If we don't find it appealing, it's time to try something new. The only way we'll ever determine what's best is by trying a plethora of material until seeing what sticks. Hence, the more we do, the better we tend to get at things.
A cold open is the very first thing that people see in your movie or read in your email. It can be a startling moment, a high energy or out of context phrase, so long as it peaks people's curiosity and makes them want to see or read more. I love using cold opens that hint at a later-to-come theme, which forces people to stay tuned in order to figure out what happened in the first few moments of the presentation. Many messages do not include a cold open, but used correctly it is a very powerful means for gaining people's attention.
In my first PBS TV Show our cold open was a 15 second clip of me biting into a raw buffalo liver and screaming out loud. People had no clue what was happening, but they needed to watch the film in order to find out.
After you've gotten people's attention it's helpful to give them a good reason to listen to you. What makes you an expert on the topic at hand? The answer to this could be a measureable credit such as a PhD in the subject, or in many cases it could be having a personal connection with the subject. IE: If you're raising money for a particular cause, it is helpful to know that you've had a direct experience with that cause. Credibility doesn't need to come in the form of a doctorate, in can be based on palpable passion. NOTE- #2 and #3 can be interchangeable; depending on which you feel is stronger to lead with.
Be clear about what you are doing on that stage, in the film, or in that email. It's also important to hint at #5, the action step. Do this in as few words as possible.
4) CONTENT: Facts, deliverables, added value
This is #3 extended upon. This is where you can really build a case for your #5. You have the chance to go into detail about the reasons why your argument is strong. In the example of writing an email to raise funds for a particular mission, be clear about how many people the mission will help, and the ultimate impact it will have.
Be very clear about what you are asking people for, or what your call to action is. You've (hopefully) gotten everyone very engaged with your 1) cold open, 2) built your credibility, 3/4) explained in detail what you're doing and why, and now is your chance to have 5) a clear call to action. If you don't include #5, all of the previous steps might be a waste. In the case of my speeches, I make sure to include a clear call to action- which is that we take the needs of the person sitting right next to us and place them on an equal or greater pedestal then our own.
There you have it- the code of captivation as I've found it in my experience. This code can translate to the stage, the computer screen, or in a major motion picture.

Miami cop killed at home will be treated as LODD
Officer Carl Patrick was found dead, in uniform, Friday
By PoliceOne Staff
MIAMI — The Miami officer who was shot to death at home will be treated as an officer killed in the line of duty.
According to a statement by Police Chief Manuel Orosa to Local 10 News, the department will hold a fallen officer's funeral for Officer Carl Patrick.
Officer Patrick was found dead, in uniform, Friday. He was a 25-year-veteran of the force.
Patrick's girlfriend, Teniko Thompson, is considered a person of interest in the homicide investigation, Local 10 reported.
Thompson is not cooperating with police in the investigation, according to CBS Miami. She claims an argument last Wednesday with Patrick led to a struggle with the officer's service weapon.
Thompson says Patrick ultimately pulled the trigger.
The Miami Herald reports that Thompson cited fear as her reason for failing to notify police about the incident for 48 hours as she drove around in a vehicle.
Thompson does not plan to attend Officer Patrick's funeral services.

BMC Developmental Biology 2014, 14:16 doi:10.1186/1471-213X-14-16Published: 21 April 2014
The miniature pig provides an excellent experimental model for tooth morphogenesis because its diphyodont and heterodont dentition resembles that of humans. However, little information is available on the process of tooth development or the exact molecular mechanisms controlling tooth development in miniature pigs or humans. Thus, the analysis of gene expression related to each stage of tooth development is very important.
In our study, after serial sections were made, the development of the crown of the miniature pigs' mandibular deciduous molar could be divided into five main phases: dental lamina stage (E33-E35), bud stage (E35-E40), cap stage (E40-E50), early bell stage (E50-E60), and late bell stage (E60-E65). Total RNA was isolated from the tooth germ of miniature pig embryos at E35, E45, E50, and E60, and a cDNA library was constructed. Then, we identified cDNA sequences on a large scale screen for cDNA profiles in the developing mandibular deciduous molars (E35, E45, E50, and E60) of miniature pigs using Illumina Solexa deep sequencing. Microarray assay was used to detect the expression of genes. Lastly, through Unigene sequence analysis and cDNA expression pattern analysis at E45 and E60, we found that 12 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated genes during the four periods are highly conserved genes homologous with known Homo sapiens genes. Furthermore, there were 6 down-regulated and 2 up-regulated genes in the miniature pig that were highly homologous to Homo sapiens genes compared with those in the mouse.
Our results not only identify the specific transcriptome and cDNA profile in developing mandibular deciduous molars of the miniature pig, but also provide useful information for investigating the molecular mechanism of tooth development in the miniature pig.

A year after oil sank into a bear market; the industry is still hunkering down for a long period of low prices, with Europe's biggest producer seeing only the first glimpses of a recovery.
Pemex has evacuated 85 workers from a platform in the Bay of Campeche, offshore Mexico, following a gas leak.
U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R – Alaska) underscored the importance of maintaining the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at a hearing of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday.
A re-injection well has been brought into operation on the Prirazlomnaya ice-resistant offshore platform, following drilling operations by Russia's Gazprom Burenie, Gazprom Neft announced Tuesday.
Brazil's first auction of oil and natural gas exploration rights in two years got off to a weak start with three of the first four basins offered receiving no bids.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc is "pulling out all the stops" to safeguard its dividend in a world where oil prices remain "lower for longer," CEO Ben Van Beurden said.
Solid expandable liners provide positive mechanical isolation of old perforations and enable the fracturing of new reservoir rock. These liners have robust mechanical ratings that often exceed the casing that they are being expanded into, and provide maximum ID to permit continuation of planned completion activities.
Wireless networks are changing the way that producers look at wellsite optimization. And in the Bakken shale, where operating conditions are among the most difficult in the world, a pilot test conducted by WPX Energy showed how wireless is increasingly becoming a preferred method.
Low oil prices are constricting drilling activity worldwide with a couple of exceptions. Meanwhile, production and reserve levels have gained, spurred by last year's stout drilling effort.
Land seismic innovations, such as the affordable acquisition of wide-azimuth, long-offset data, coupled with offset and azimuthally friendly processing, provide rich insights into the Bakken formation.
Additions to U.S. oil reserves from Shale Revolution remain impressive

New Confetti Buttons!
2 weeks ago was the last week of Summer for my family, the last week before my 8 year old Nash went to 3rd grade and my 6 year old Margot went to 1st grade. I was determined to take the week off and spend time at the pool and movies and cramming everything we could into the last week! As it turned out, I had to come in mornings, but it was fun to have the kids hang out with me here. Nash played video games and Margot became slightly obsessed with my button maker, drawing pictures and turning them into buttons. She grew tired of that later in the week, and asked if she could make other things into buttons. She put stickers on paper and turned those into buttons. An then, she found some confetti which was laying around nearby her button station, and asked if that would work. I let her try it, and the result is basically artwork! Confetti Buttons is born!
Confetti buttons are available on our website for $.75 each, about the cheapest button around! They are seriously so cute! Plenty of color options available. Follow Margot on Instagram too!
I hope everyone had a great Summer with their kiddos! It's always hard when they go back to school. Now it's time for me to get back to work. And Margot now has an after-school job ;)

Popsicle Sticks On The Cover of Better Homes & Gardens!
It's a thrill and an honor to have our striped popsicle sticks on the home of August Better Homes & Gardens Magazine! I found out about 2 months ago that there was a chance our popsicle sticks might make the cover of Better Homes & Gardens, and I immediately said I wished I DIDN'T know, because I was going to be in such suspense until I saw it! What a dream come true for a small business owner. Maybe now I can finally be known for something other than being in the movie Dirty Dancing when I was 6 years old!
We started making our popsicle sticks last year, and stripes were the first design of popsicle stick we made. It is HOT in St. Louis is the Summer, and there's nothing we love more than something fruity and cool to keep us going, but of course plain popsicle sticks aren't good enough for us, the originators of stamped wooden utensils! It was a natural extension of our product line. Our popsicle sticks are extra wide - because it's more fun to have more pattern!
Pick up some famous popsicle sticks in our shop!

The Application of a New High-Density Optical Disc for Audio
Fifteen years have passed since the introduction of the Laser Disc (LD) and Compact Disc (CD). During this period, the production technologies of short wavelength red laser diodes and high-precision optical discs have been developed. This fact resulted in a large capacity, 5- GB per side (single layer) or 9-GB per side (dual layer), Super Density (SD) format read-only optical disc. In this paper the application of the disc for audio, such as 96- kHz sampling 24-bit high-quality audio, is discussed.

Of the main purpose of God and His daily Providence.
FOR the purpose of God whereby He made man not to perish but to live for ever, stands immovable. And when His goodness sees in us even the very smallest spark of good will shining forth, which He Himself has struck as it were out of the hard flints of our hearts, He fans and fosters it and nurses it with His breath, as He "willeth all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth," for as He says, "it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish," and again it says: "Neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth," meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish.674674 1 Tim. 2:4; S. Matt. 18:14; 2 Sam. 14:14. For He is true, and lieth not when He lays down with an oath: "As I live, saith the Lord God, for I will not the death of a sinner, but that he should turn from his way and live."675675 Ezek. 33:11. For if He willeth not that one of His little ones should perish, how can we imagine without grievous blasphemy that He does not generally will all men, but only some instead of all to be saved? Those then who perish, perish against His will, as He testifies against each one of them day by day: "Turn from your evil ways, and why will ye die, O house of Israel?"676676 Ezek. 33:11. And again: "How often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not;" and: "Wherefore is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? They have hardened their faces and refused to return."677677 S. Matt. 23:37; Jer. 8:5. The grace of Christ then is at hand every day, which, while it "willeth all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth," calleth all without any exception, saying: "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you."678678 S. Matt. 11:28. But if He calls not all generally but only some, it follows that not all are heavy laden either with original or actual sin, and that this saying is not a true one: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;" nor can we believe that "death passed on all men."679679 Rom. 3:23; 5:12. And so far do all who perish, perish against the will of God, that God cannot be said to have made death, as Scripture itself testifies: "For God made not death, neither rejoiceth in the destruction of the living."680680 Wisdom 1:13. And hence it comes that for the most part when instead of good things we ask for the opposite, our prayer is either heard but tardily or not at all; and again the Lord vouchsafes to bring upon us even against our will, like some most beneficent physician, for our good what we think is opposed to it, and sometimes He delays and hinders our injurious purposes and deadly attempts from having their horrible effects, and, while we are rushing headlong towards death, draws us back to salvation, and rescues us without our knowing it from the jaws of hell.

Today has been a long day for me...just back home from my day job and am very exhausted...so this update is going to be quick and dirty...
Earlier today, I sold all 80 contracts of my SPWR March 18, 2013 CALLS S6.00 for a hefty $3.90...I had purchased these calls about 6 weeks ago for an average price of 49¢...so not a bad ROI...I also sold out of my WFR April 20, 2013 CALLS $3.50 for $1.28, having purchased these at average price of 41¢...
As I had mentioned in my morning post, I went ahead and did establish a relatively small position in LDK June 18 CALLS $1.50...I purchased 100 CALL contracts @ 50¢
I have included a screenshot of the Excel spreadsheet with the Options2Wealth's current positions, including cash...I am also providing screenshots of the option quotes at the time I made the individual transactions...
My Options2Wealth portfolio is up 315% in 6 weeks, from its original $10,000 start to its current value of $41,579.03, including $33,782.03 in cash.
Am too bushed to continue...will let the numbers in the Excel screenshot do most of the talking instead...
P.S. 2/17/2013...The previous screen shot of the summary page from February 13, 2013, has been removed and replaced with this new screen shot because the figures in the earlier document did not accurately reflect the portfolio's holdings...I believe this one does...This Excel spreadsheet is a work in progress and is being constantly tweaked and refined to ensure accuracy...During this iterative process, errors may crop up from time to time, but those errors are just that, errors and I will constantly keep a close eye to make sure that these mistakes are caught and rectified as soon as they are spotted...
DISCLAIMER: All postings made here are strictly for my personal record keeping and in no way, shape or form, am I even remotely suggesting others to follow my Buy and Sell moves. Trading options is definitely not for the faint of heart as one's portfolio can move up, or down, anywhere between 10%-30% during a single trading day. Feel free to follow my progress here, but PLEASE do not follow my moves. However, if, in spite of all my exhortations, should you decide to do so, be advised that you, and ONLY YOU will be responsible for any losses that you may suffer...In other words, the onus is strictly on you.

Springfield woman arrested in N.J. on gun chargesJanuary 30,2014PALISADES PARK, N.J. A Springfield, Vt., woman was arrested with two people from Jersey City Monday and charged with illegal gun possession.
Bergen County Police said in a press release that Natausha L. Bourguin, 23, was the driver of a red Honda Civic that was stopped for an illegal lane change.
Police became suspicious of Bourguin and her passengers, Crystal Canas, 21, and Manuel Robles, 33, both of Jersey City, N.J., after the trio gave police conflicting information.
After Bourguin gave a written consent to have her vehicle searched, police found two guns in the trunk of the vehicle, a Sig Sauer P228 a 9 mm handgun and a Davis Industries .380 caliber handgun, which police described as a Saturday Night Special. Police also recovered $6,117 in cash from the vehicle.
All three denied being the owners of the weapons, police said, and the guns were sent for ballistics testing. Police said the weapons were not legally owned. All three were charged with two counts each of illegal handgun possession.MORE IN This Just In

I would like to congratulate all our divers who participated in USA Diving Junior National Championships in Orlando, Florida from August 1-9. It was a very special season for us because there were so many first-time experiences along the way, and not just for our national qualifiers, but the team as a whole. Every diver pushed through fears they never faced before and took their talent to a whole new level. Whether it was aging up, learning more difficult dives, or moving higher up to 5, 7.5, or 10 meter platforms - you've made your coaches, teammates, parents, and friends proud!!! You should be proud as well!!!
SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS TO LYLE YOST!!! Thanks to his stellar performance at Nationals, he has been named a member of the National Team for the 2015 Junior Pan American Games this October in Matanzas, Cuba - where he will be competing in the 14-15 year-old boys 3 meter springboard event! To earn this highly coveted spot is such an honor and amazing feat, as the USA team only consists of 24 male and female divers. GOOD LUCK LYLE - EVERYONE IS CHEERING FOR YOU!!!

American Flyers Diving is a year-round age group springboard and platform diving club designed to teach and develop athletes from novice to the highest ELITE level. The American Flyers diving team has been an official team member of United States Diving since 1995.
Our ultimate goal is to teach kids how to dive, how to be competitive, and still have fun. We strive to make a positive experience out of learning something new. Diving is very much an individual effort and every person has a different mental and emotional way of learning. With positive motivation and safe skill development, diving can be a great way to achieve both physical and mental confidence. As a club, each individual learns to contribute to the success of the team, building a sense of camaraderie and accomplishment. These are all skills which we believe are useful in life as well.
The American Flyers Diving Club utilizes 3 physical training approaches. The first is the most obvious – diving boards and water. The second is visual training. This includes a digital video system to record and play back each dive on a delay so each athlete can see their last dive as they exit the water. The third, and one of the most important, is less obvious – dry land training. This includes a "dry board," trampoline (both with overhead spotting rigs), and a workout area.
Dry land training is a key element in the progression of safe skill development for diving. This allows a diver to perform the skills at a basic level and master key body positions before progressing to more difficult skills. Correct form and increased repetition aids in a better foundation for muscle memory which are of great importance to any activity. The process of building muscle memory can be greatly sped up with dry land work. During dry land training, a diver will get through many more repetitions in much less time than they will in the water. This, in turn, maximizes practice time. Another great reward that this type of training can provide for divers is a heightened level of confidence in a shorter amount of time.
We are continuing to add new American Flyers Apparel to our online store. Go to the "shop" tab, then "buy gear" to outfit your family and friends in American Flyers Diving Team Gear!
The Ohio Dive League (ODL)
The Ohio Diving League (ODL) season will resume this Fall. Please check the ODL Website for the latest information.

PLEASE NOTE: High school divers cannot participate in ODL meets while the high school season is taking place (you can still practice as normal).

The Cedar Key FFA has another state champion. Freshmen FFA members Emilie Lavoie and Mackenzie Kirkbride are the state champion Ornamental horticulture demonstrstion team for 2015. Their demo entitled E&M Terrific Terrariums demonstrated how to make and arrange a terrarium. The team topped twelve other district champions from around the state to earn the title of 2015 state champions.
It may have been a dreary, drizzly evening on Cedar Key on Saturday, Feb. 21, but that did not deter folks from turning out for the Fraternal Order of Eagles scholarship dinner.
There was a line stretching from the cook shack behind the club, through the club and to the front door as folks waited for the fried chicken to come out of the bubbling oil and for the cook shack workers to quickly assemble it.
All told, the club sold 141 dinners at $8 each to help raise funds for a scholarship for a Cedar Key student.
