Owls found dead, coated in liquid in Oklahoma oil field
FAIRVIEW — Oklahoma Wildlife and Corporation Commission officials are investigating a neglected oil field where two owls were found coated in the liquid and others were found dead in an uncovered tank.
A local newspaper reports that one of the two rescue owls has died. A couple in Fairview had been rehabilitating the owls since they were discovered Tuesday.
A caregiver says the surviving owl is eating and they're watching it for signs of decline.
A commission game warden says the birds were found in a field located on the Major and Garfield County line. He says the birds got into an uncovered saltwater tank topped with oil scum.
He says it's unclear who is responsible for the tank. State and federal rules require such tanks to be covered.

I tend to cramps early season, before getting into good physical condition or if undertaking a longer ride than normal. Lately, I've been using Sportlegs, apparently to good effect. I can't yet prove it helps but am becoming convinced it does. For example, a week ago I was on the last third of a longer ride when I stopped for a break. As I sat at the edge of the road, evidently looking somewhat forlorn, a woman stopped her vehicle to ask if I was alright. I thanked her for her concern and assured here I was just resting. But my right calve, not yet cramping but muscles were beginning to twitch as if about to cramp. I carry a few Sportlegs tablets in a tiny plastic baggie and immediately swallowed two tabs. Within 5 minutes the twitching stopped and I completed the ride with no issues.
There is no substitute for mileage and conditioning but if a supplement can alleviate the worst effects, either during or in the evening after a ride, I am happy to supplement. My question is whether anyone else has been using Sportlegs or something similar and what the effect may have been, real or imagined?

Rhode Island in Transition
Nowhere have the results of a betrayal of trust, and the unethical conduct it manifests, been more devastating than here in Rhode Island. In recent months, the very civility that in the past insured reasonable public discourse has been lost as the intensity of the anger and despair some … feel grows over their government's failure to perform its duties and keep faith with the people.
Ethics Task Force, 1991
Rhode Islanders are increasingly pleased with the way things are going in the state. Eighty-three percent of voters believe the state is headed in the right direction, while 10 percent think it is on the wrong track. That is the highest 'right track' rating Rhode Island voters have given in any Brown [University] poll in at least a decade.
Darrell West, 1999
The first day of January 1991 marked a watershed in Rhode Island politics. On that brilliantly sunny day, Democrat Bruce Sundlun was sworn in as governor, succeeding a three-term Republican, Edward DiPrete. In a state that generally votes Democratic, such an event might appear to be politics as usual. But two other events of that day signaled a critical shift in the character of Rhode Island politics and marked the beginning of a transition, the effects of which are still unfolding.
The first involved a banking crisis of massive fiscal and political proportions The pageantry of the inaugural was cut short so that the newly elected governor could hold a news conference. He declared the first "bank holiday" since 1933, closing thirty-five credit unions and ten banks. The Rhode Island Share and Deposit Indemnity Corporation (risdic), a private insurance corporation under the supervision of the Department of Business

Individual Differences in Counterfactual Thinking
Margaret Kasimatis Hope College
Gary L. Wells Iowa State University
Kelly ( 1970) suggested that an individual's mental construction of a situation guides his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in that situation. However, findings from recent research have suggested that people not only construct current situations but also reconstruct past events. One way people might reconstruct past events is to engage in counterfactual thinking, which is a form of mental simulation in which a person imagines how some factual outcome might easily have turned out differently ( Kahneman & Tversky, 1982). For example, people might think "If only Ted Kennedy had not tried to drive Mary Jo Kopechne home that night, he might be President today."
Counterfactual processing has been found to be a common response to negative events. For example, Davis, Lehman, Wortman, Silver, and Thompson ( 1995) found that 48% of their respondents spontaneously reported undoing in their minds about a motor vehicle accident in which they lost a child or spouse something that would change the outcome of the event. Similarly, Landman and Manis ( 1992) found that over half of their respondents reported that they would do something differently in their life if they had it to do over again.
Although counterfactual thinking appears to be a common response to dramatic events, research findings suggest that counterfactual thinking is more likely to occur under some circumstances than under others. Most of the factors that appear to influence when counterfactual thinking occurs are related to the mutability of events, which refers to how easily a person

Hall: 'Gangster Squad' writer's best story? His own
A small casualty of last year's mass theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., was a scene cut from the new movie "Gangster Squad," in which gunmen fired at the good guys from behind a screen showing "Red River."
The scene was half homage to that 1948 John Wayne western and half modern movie magic: Bullets sprayed into a crowded Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and caused a panic as Wayne yelled "Stampede!" in one of his movie's most memorable scenes.
Did your favorite movie get overlooked for an Oscar nomination this year?
Yes 86% (6)
No 14% (1)
7 total votes.
The idea came to screenwriter Will Beall the way ideas often do: when another didn't work. Beall had wanted to act out the climactic shootout during a Hollywood Boulevard parade and have the grand marshal, Gene Autry, get knocked off his horse as gunmen ducked in between floats.
But logistics nixed that idea the way tragedy scotched the other, and what audiences will see starting Friday is a gun battle in 1940s Chinatown.
What do these three scenes have in common? Innocent bystanders — a fact not lost on Beall, a writer with a 9-year-old son and a past as a cop. His industry has come under fire as America's body count has risen unspeakably with moviegoers and first-graders.
So, Will, is there any connection between violent entertainment and actual violence?
"No," came his answer.
"How many violent movies have you seen?" came his honest question. "One thousand? Do you feel like killing anybody?"
Take two
Will Beall is the most famous Aztec whose name you don't know and can't pronounce. Other than Mexican god Huehuetéotl-Xiuhtecuhtli, of course.
You could ring in Beall's name easily if you dropped the "A," but you can't because he needs it: He's Hollywood's newest A-list writer, a 1996 San Diego State University grad whose name will grace 3,500 screens nationwide Friday — and fly across even more in 2015 when his top-secret script for "Justice League" becomes The Best Superhero Movie Ever courtesy of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Flash.
What's really super, though, is Beall's story. It's no joke to say he's soaring faster than a speeding bullet — from journalist to police officer to crime novelist to writer on the hit show "Castle" to this: penning his first movie, "Gangster Squad," for Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
But this is Tinseltown, where "It" anythings can take on the alphabet's two most silent letters like a sinking boat takes on water.
Shhh. Don't tell Beall that. Or heck, tell him. He's a down-to-earth dude. He'll tell you he gives himself reality checks all the time. He'll tell you he's enjoying the ride.
"The pinch-yourself stuff?" he said. "I sort of do that daily. ... I could go back in time and find 13-year-old Will and say, 'Stop masturbating for a minute, I want to tell you something. You're not going to believe this, dude, but look what you're doing. It's phenomenal.'"
Take three
Will Beall remembers football games at Jack Murphy Stadium, Carlos Santana at the Tijuana bullring and late-night taquitos at Los Panchos. But it's the murder that he recalls most vividly.
He left the Bay Area at 18 to go to SDSU because "it was the number one party school in the nation." He left SDSU at 24 with a chance that his English degree would be as wasted as some of the students.
But his time wasn't wasted at all. Beall rose through the ranks to become managing editor of The Daily Aztec. How? He found himself dating a girl who worked there, then found himself covering the craziest story he could imagine: The murder of a women's studies major, known around campus as a feminist activist, a self-defense instructor and director of the Women's Resource Center.

First Pitch: Correia Has Been Lucky, But Unlucky in a Way
I've talked a lot this year about how Kevin Correia has been lucky. After tonight's start, the right-hander has a .248 BABIP and a 74.8% strand rate. Both are lucky, and both are due for a regression. Correia has a 4.43 ERA, although his xFIP is 4.97.
Correia has been lucky, and is closer to a 5.00 ERA pitcher than he is a 4.00 ERA pitcher. But in a way, he's also been unlucky this year, considering the Pirates' situation.
The Pirates have a great rotation this year. It's to the point where two bad starts can be enough for fans to call for a rotation change. The 3.79 ERA by the rotation this year ranks eighth in the majors. Their 3.94 xFIP ranks 12th, and suggests that the ERA is somewhat legit, especially when you consider that Correia drags that number down.
Correia is what he is. In ...

Inconspicious Consumption
Franco-American Shnookums & Meat Shaped Pasta with Tomato & Cheese Sauce, 15 oz. can
Campbell Soup Company
AS THIS COLUMN'S readers are well aware, there are plenty of weird products out there -- the bizarre beverages, the mystery meats, the gadgets that serve as solutions to problems most of us will never encounter. But there are also lots of products that are perfectly normal in every respect but one: They're saddled with inexplicable names -- names that make so little sense, it's hard to fathom what the manufacturer was thinking. I would certainly have enjoyed, for example, being a fly on the wall during the product-development meetings that resulted in Shnookums & Meat meatless pasta.
In case you've never heard of Shnookums (a cat) or Meat (a dog), they're a pair of animated cartoon characters. I'd never heard of them myself until my pen-pal Amanda recently sent me two cans of Franco-American pasta named after them and bearing their licensed likenesses. One of the cans included meatballs but the other was just pasta and sauce, presenting an interesting conflict between the latter variety's name and its contents -- it's called "Shnookums & Meat," but there's no meat in the product. Brilliant, right?
Franco-American chose to resolve the problem with a pair of fine-print disclaimers on the package label, the more amusing of which reads, "Meat is a character developed by Buena Vista Television. THERE IS NO MEAT IN THIS PRODUCT." It's not clear whether this is meant to mollify vegetarians or serve as full disclosure to carnivores, but either way the real question is why such an incongruously named grocery item exists in the first place. Why not just market the meatball-inclusive variety and leave it at that?
"We invented the canned children's pasta category," explained Franco-American spokesman Kevin Lowery when I put the question to him. "The top-selling product in that category is Spaghetti-Os, and the top-selling variety of that product is the plain, meatless variety." So when the Shnookums & Meat line was launched in 1995, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that there would be a meatless version, despite the potential confusion involving the name.
Shnookums and Meat's TV show was recently cancelled, and I don't think the little pasta shapes look much like the cartoon characters, but Lowery maintained that the product has performed well and that there has been no significant negative consumer feedback about the name. Indeed, when I raised the name issue with a phone rep on the company's toll-free customer-service hotline, she said she was unaware of any similar complaints (or of the product itself, for that matter) and implied that I was making a bit of a fuss about nothing. Okay, so maybe I'm being picky. Next time I call, however, perhaps I'll also mention that it seems a bit odd to market a children's product whose name conveniently abbreviates to "S&M." (Campbell Soup Company, Campbell's Place, Camden, NJ 08103)
Inconspicuous Consumption is an occasional feature which examines a variety of products and services--some unusual, many exceedingly ordinary, but all worthy of close inspection. Inconspicuous Consumption, the book, is just out from Crown.

The rules of the game are simple: The place has to be in or around SoHo, the food has to be no more than $5, it has to fill you up, and there can't be any meat. In a neighborhood defined by sky-high rents and lavish eateries, it's not always so easy to find a good vegetarian lunch, but these spots prove you don't have to settle for a side salad. Most of the meals aren't particularly healthy, but that's what Lite Delights is for.
If you have any suggestions of your own, write a comment -- I'd love to check out some new spots. Remember that the food should be equal to or less than $5 (before tax is fine), and that I'm using a pretty loose definition of SoHo (spare the jurisdictional disputes).

Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Trey Sublette, Jeremy Daggett, and Tim McCormack during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward The Business Finance Store…
Business Finance Store has a commitment to quality and customer service that is unmatched in the industry. Their free initial consultation goes to great lengths to teach small businesses what their options are, and show how those options can help them achieve their goals. Business Finance Store has many systems designed to recognize the needs of their clients and to satisfy those needs whenever possible. Some of those systems we've verified to protect their customers including: a thorough contract with checklists of frequently confusing items, a thorough recorded underwriting call covering anything that might be confusing, required notarized documentation which prevents identity theft, and a multi-stage verification process that detects and rejects illegitimate businesses.
The Business Finance Store works to help small businesses and entrepreneurs to launch their business with financial funding and services that best suit their need and allow them to continue to grow. The company works to provide a wider range of financial funding. They also help to avoid scams and can provide honest free consultation. Through the company's 4,000 agents all over the United States they are able to gather leads through referrals. Additionally, the company acquires leads though blogs, LinkedIn, and various search engines (i.e. Bing & Google) that direct potential customers to their website.
The company's sale process begins when a prospective client works with a sales representative during a question and answer session. This meeting provides answers as to what the customer may qualify for beforehand which allows the company to target the customer's needs for products that will best suit them. The Business Finance Store discussed that they standardly follow up with customers in the time working with them. After the course of the sale, the company asks the client to complete an exit survey.
In regards to internal processes; The Business Finance Store mentioned they could work on better communication with all of their departments, communication on progress of application, and follow up with customers. Some of the complaints the company receives are in regards to the client not receiving enough information from a salesman, the type of funding the client receives, or the information received is not accurate. The company remedies this with the underwriting calls with a sales representative, director of operation, and the client. If the company finds they are in error, they will review the client's proposed application and see what they may qualify for, review the type of funding, timeframe, and cost while recommending any adjustments or refunds necessary.
An example of a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service or products they received was when a customer was approved for funding and a few weeks later the lender closed the account. The customer called and the company was able to get that customer funding with another lender.
The Business Finance Store has made changes since complaints on Ripoff Report have occurred by reviewing with the customer the application in more detail to ensure they understand how the process of obtaining a loan or credit works. This is based on several factors such as credit ratings of the individual(s) or partners (which combined may limit the amount of money available if more than one individual applying). The company has put in place a no money down application and they are obtaining more information from the client which helps them to explain in more detail the information needed to provide the customer the best financing package. They also have modified their contract in more detail so the customer understands more of what is available based on their eligibility. Furthermore, a customer can log on to the company's website and check on the progress of their loan or credit package. Internally, the company has regular meetings with staff to address the challenges and issues encountered to review how to best help their customers.
The Business Finance Store thinks that it is important to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program because it helps provide them another way to respond to their customer's complaints and issues. The company works their staff to do whatever it takes by asking more questions to figure out how to achieve the customer's goals and review with them all the available options to help them understand what they may qualify for with their credit rating.
BUSINESS FINANCE STORE / Statements from the President.
"Business Finance Store's president, Mr. Tim McCormack, has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his passion is helping small businesses. He views his work as critical to helping small businesses succeed, and that those businesses are the backbone of the modern US economy. As a successful businessman, Mr. McCormack feels it is critical to always listen to his clients and respond promptly. He personally responds to any issue that is presented to him. By always putting his customers first, Mr. McCormack hopes to maintain Business Finance Store as a critical and important tool for helping small businesses both now and for many years to come.
Here are a few of the comments made by customers… "We were very pleased with the services they provided. The customer relations team provided our company with an exceptional level of service. There is great appreciation that the Business Finance Store did everything they said they would do and more!" and "We came to Business Finance Store after being in business for a year and we were able to get the funding required to build out our software and take us to the next level. We would still be struggling to get the funding the traditional way if it was not for the business finance store. The service is incredible; you know what to expect every step of the way, there are no secrets." Another customer stated "When we first came into contact with Business Finance Store, I was a little skeptical. I had heard similar promises from other companies who didn't deliver. I must say that they treated us with true professionalism and even out did what they said they could do. I would use them again and have told my friends."
Business Finance Store recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Report's Investigation Business Finance Store has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience.
Additionally, Business Finance Store has a number of new tools and services currently in development that will be available free of charge to all their clients. These tools will be designed to assist small business owners to succeed in their businesses, and will cover such important topics as marketing, ongoing financial management, and legal support.
Business Finance Store's commitment to their customers goes beyond just worrying about their safety. They also survey every customer after they've completed their services to gain valuable feedback on their performance. They review that feedback on a weekly basis, seeking ways to improve and over-deliver on their delivery and execution of their services. Anytime there is a complaint from a client it is analyzed in the form of a case study, and reviewed by a team of four or more employees. When options exist to improve their performance, results and suggestions are presented to management and actions are swiftly taken.
Business Finance Store clients can expect the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. Business Finance Store listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
In summary, after our Review by a 3rd party and conversations with Ripoff Report staff, which included discussions with Mr. McCormack and other employees, Ripoff Report is convinced that Business Finance Store is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction, ethical business practices, and legitimate funding services that are beneficial to their clients.

The Business Finance Store This company overcharged my husband and I for trying to help us start our business! Fountain Valley, CaliforniaI found this company when I was searching on the internet for financing options when my husband and I decided to buy a truck and start a trucking business. We started the process in January 2011 and it took 2 1/2 months for us to get the funds we requested! Everything sounded good at the begining until we got to the point where we were paying out all these fees for their services.
The local gentlemen we started working with required us to pay him $400 before we could continue in the program and try to get the funds we were requesting. We then started talking with 2-3 other people about getting the funds we needed. They told us it would be business lines of credit and that the money would always be there if we needed it for emergencies unlike a regular small business loan. That all sounded good to us because in the trucking business you never know when you may have a major breakdown! We agreed along with my father-in-law who cosigned to get the funds, that we would proceed with the program. We then came to find out that we would be recieving business credit cards with unknown interest rates and we would have to pay this outragous fee before we could get the funds. We were also told there was no guarantee that we would get the funds we requested.
So against our better judgement we decided to move forward so we could finally after a long 2 months get our funding to make a better life for our family. We were charged over $4000 to get our funding! They also told us that when we got our cards and we needed to use them to do a cash advance that it would be best to go through them to get it because we would be charged 6% for the advance but after 60 days we would get 3% of that back. It has been almost 9 months and we have yet to receive that money back and they tell us they never promised that.
We also back in June had a breakdown on the truck and needed to use the rest of the funds that was on one of the cards but when we went to use it the card was declined. When I called the credit card company to find out what was going on they told me that they had discovered the card was opened through a 3rd party finance and they dont work with those types of companies. So there we were with funds we were told we had and couldn't use them.
We would like to get our money back that we have losted through this program and would hope this doesnt happen to anyone else!!!!

This complaint is 100% false. We spent weeks researching it and have come to the conclusion that it is a totally false fabrication. I can only guess that this was posted by a competitor trying to advance their
business by damaging ours.

To anyone looking for proof that this is a completely false report, feel free to call the attorney listed in the complaint as we did. The name is Jonathan Epstein at (703) 549-9138. This is actually a real person, but Mr Epsteins assistant confirmed that he never brought on a client matching this description or intending to sue us. He never assisted this false person in any way.
False items in this report:
1. We very rarely charge someone $15,000 for services. This would be for multiple services that would span a lengthy period of time.
2. We called every tanning bed client who completed our programs within the last 6 months. All those that completed the program were satisfied and had no such complaints.
We have never been sued by a client. Never. We have never been sued by anyone.
3. We have never had a client request a refund for such a large amount.
4. Our contracts guarantee our funding services. If a clients lines of credit had been closed we would have gladly offered a refund. There would be no need for any legal actions.
To anyone who is seeking financing we are happy to help. We will treat you fairly and with respect. And if you own a business we wish you the best of luck. We love small business owners, we understand the unique difficulties the joys and pains that we all share. We are all in this together, and we are happy to support you in any way we can.

The Business Finance Store does nothing but stroke your ego and then pull the rug out from under you. SCAM!!!!
AUTHOR: milly - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 24, 2013POSTED: Thursday, January 24, 2013
After listening to everything they had to say and waiting about a month and a half, I was informed that they got me the funding that I needed in order to get my business started and now I needed to pay for their services. I received an invoice for $15,000 and had to pay for it with 2 different credit cards. Credit card charge shows up as FINANCEMARK, INC. 16SANTA ANA CA and FINANCE MARK INC 800-730-3084 CA.
I then took the little bit of money that I had left to lease out a location that I thought was GREAT!!! I got everything else I needed for the daily operation like phone number, towels, signs, ads, etc. All that was left to get was the actual tanning beds. I called to place order and used the line of credit that was given to me by The Business Finance Store and was given a delivery date of when they would be there. I few days later, I was contacted by the Tanning bed supplier stating that the card I used was declined and did I have another form of payment. OF COURSE I DIDNT!!! I used the rest of my money to get everything else situated and to pay BFS. I have tried to contact them to see what was going on but I get no answer. I had no idea what to do. Im stuck with breaking my lease and have all these products that I have no use for now.
I still to this day have not got any sort of response from anyone and have resorted in contacting the FTC, Attorney General and a law firm to get my money back. I spoke to Jonathan Epstein at 703.549.9138 and he has helped me to get my money back. He didnt charge me anything upfront to retain his services, which was great since I had no money left.
I have done some more research on The Business Finance Store and they are quick to rebuttal posts on here. Their responses first appeared one way, now they look completely different as if either the President and CEO just doesnt care anymore or the company has changed hands. Either way the company is a scam. Yes, they got me the line of credit needed but then cancelled it after they got paid. Its all sickening and I cant believe I fell for this. At least, I was able to recoup the money that was stole by them or I would completely be screwed!!!

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 15, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Official Company Response:
This client is complaining about a line of credit we opened for them:
- We did not bill them for it
- We warned them it would likely be closed
- Not including this line, we still obtained the maximum amount of funding they requested
- We offered to open additional funding which they declined
If you are in need of funding for your business, we are happy to help. Well tell you in advance how much you qualify for, what the terms are, and our costs. We will list it on our prequalification, on our contract,
and well have a recorded underwriting call where you can ask anything you want and where well obtain your verbal authorization for everything we will do. We have nothing to hide.
Here is how you can contact us:
Call us Toll Free (888) 777-7713
Here is the info we have on file for this client:
- Client: J Hixson Trucking
- Initial Inquiry Date: Jan 30th, 2011
- Credit Review Completed: Jan 31st, 2011
- Pre-Qualified for: $25,000 to $50,000 in business funding
- Pre-Qualification notes: Business owner has a bankruptcy from 2010. Using a co-signer.
- Contract Signed Date: Feb 1st, 2011
- Contract Receipt Date: Feb 2nd, 2011
- Underwriting Notes: All participants were on the call (husband, wife, co-signer). I had no issues on the underwriting call. Clients understand funding type, agrees to fees. Client capped funding, target of $40,000 and not to exceed $50,000. Client needs us to obtain a fictitious business name, which will delay funding by 3 or 4 days.
- Funding Received Date: Feb 24th, 2011
- Funding Raised: $60,000
- Funding Invoiced On: $50,000
- Funding Notes: $10,000 line questionable, bank unsure due to presence of previous bankruptcy, last line not billed to client, but left open.
- Client informed that additional funding is available, but declined to receive it.
- Client Termination Date: March 8th, 2011
- We are sorry that this client was not happy with our service. We take every step possible to ensure that our clients understand in advance what we offer, what our fees are, and the timeline by which we provide them. This client never contacted us with her complaints and instead decided to post her grievances online. When clients are unhappy, if they contact us, we always work with them to find solutions to their issues. If you need money, we promise you well do our best to meet your needs and help you be successful in your business.
- After a review of this file, and listening to the entire recorded underwriting call, we am 100% confident that this client DID understand what they were going to get, what the fees were, and the correct timeline for this process. In NO WAY did we fail the expectations for funding, fees, and the timelines that we committed to in our contract and our recorded underwriting call.
- We do not ever charge any upfront fees, and we discourage consultants from adding fees to our services. The $400 initial packaging fee was not charged by our company. If someone ever informs you that you must pay an initial fee to work with our company know that we are not the ones asking for it and you are not required to pay it.
- We did get business lines of credit for this client, but the only type of lines they qualified for was business credit cards. This was clearly explained in advance, detailed in the contracts, and agreed to on the underwriting call. In listening to the underwriting call it was explained multiple times in order for it to be clear for each person on the call. We are happy to provide access to this recording for anyone desiring verification.
- Our guarantee is that if we dont get you funding, you dont pay anything. We have a 100% guarantee. Everything we earn is based on our ability to deliver on our promises.
- This client states our fees are outrageous. We are sorry this client feels this way, but that is what it costs for us to secure this type of funding. It is very labor-intensive and delicate working with the banks. Its taken us years to create a reliable system and we have a very large staff to support the operation. If she felt the fees were outrageous she was welcome to not use our services, no one was forcing her.
- Our funding was completed within 3 weeks of receiving this contract. Im not sure why this client complained that it took so long.
- As for the additional fees, this client requested if we knew of a service to help her liquidate her credit cards into cash. We do not do this, but we know of companies that do. We sent her file to one of these companies.
- We offered to raise more funds for this client, but they declined. We even offered a special discounted rate for additional funding raised, but they declined that as well.
- This client authorized us to raise $50,000 in funding. We did this. She liquidated it and used it all. Along the process there was an additional account opened for $10,000. We informed her that it may be closed and did not charge her for it. We suggested she get additional funding which she declined.
- While this client is clearly upset and posted this complaint, which is clearly false, we are still happy to live up to the terms of our contract and support her business. We have attempted to contact the client many times since notified of this complaint. As the client has decided not to respond to us there is nothing more that we can do than respond to this message here.

Two Chairs Telling: Jenifer Strauss, Wonder Dave
Jenifer Strauss is a true spoken-word professional, performing as many as 300 times a year across the country. Her style is upbeat and simple, focusing on traditional stories, etiological myths, and their variations, sometimes using hand puppets and silly voices to bring archetypal characters like Turtle and Worm to life. Tonight she'll be performing alongside Wonder Dave, a veteran slam poet, spoken-word artist, and Fringe regular known for bridging the gap between acid-tongued rants and softly insightful poems. Most of his work has a modern, edgy bent, but Dave occasionally draws on mythical imagery, such as in his poem "Delilah," where he uses Samson to discuss the relationship between man, God, and war, recasting the titular character as a liberating force. There's no saying for sure what will happen when the two of them collaborate on the Open Eye stage, but it'll be worth the price of admission. (Image by Nesster)

Minutes of the Ayuntamiento of San Felipe de Austin 69
In the town of San Felipe de Austin on the 2d day of Novr
1830 the Ayuntamiento met this day pursuant to adjournment
present Thos. Barnett prest. Jesse H. Carwright 2 Regidor Walter
C. White, 3d Regidor, and William Pettus sindico procurador. The
prest stated to the body that a letter addressed to George Fisher
apparently cont[aining] divers enclosures had been handed to the
Ayto. supposed to [p. 57] be from Asa Mitchell an intimate of
said Fishers The Ayuntamto. then ordered a secret session and
after having discussed the subject respecting what course would
be proper to pursue relative to the letter the body agreed that in-
asmuch as the said Fisher is believed to be a spy attached to a
party unfriendly to the Govt and as Mitchell is known to be an
intimate of the said Fishers the body ordered the letter to be
opened which was done, and the contents found to be several
letters addressed by Fisher to Mitchell on the subject of vessels
arriving in the brasos a commission from Sd Fisher to Mitchell
making the sd. Mitchell a boarding officer and several official let-
ters antidated from Mitchell to Fisher purporting to be reports.
And as there was nothing found which in the opinion of the body
was likely to be injurious to the community the letter was or-
dered to be sealed up with its enclosures and put away and the
ayuntamto. rose from the secret session.
The Ayuntamto in open session made the following resolution
that whereas this municipality from its peculiar situation is much
exposed to the inroads of fugitives from justice from the U. S.
and other places, vagabonds and, men of notorious bad character
and it being the duty of the Ayuntamto. to watch over the secur-
ity and tranquility of the inhabitants of the municipality and
also to maintain and support good order and the public tranquil-
ity, and prevent the residence of men of bad character, and of idle
and vicious habits within the jurisdiction, and taking into consid-
eration that by the 5th article of the Contract made by the Em-
presario Stephen F. Austin he is bound not to permit, criminals,

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Former U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton drew on extensive political connections to raise more cash than his rival in the Democratic primary for Oregon attorney general.
In campaign finance filings submitted late Tuesday, Holton reports raising $420,000, compared with $290,000 raised by Ellen Rosenblum, a former judge.
No Republicans are seeking the office, so the winner of the Democratic primary will almost certainly be the next attorney general, Oregon's top lawyer and prosecutor.
Holton raised almost two-thirds of his money from donors outside Oregon, compared with about one-third for Rosenblum.
With five weeks to go before the May 15 primary, Holton had $330,000 to spend compared with $210,000 for Rosenblum.
Incumbent Democrat John Kroger announced last year that he wouldn't seek re-election, citing an unspecified health condition.

It can be very frustrating when the local squirrels discover your walnut tree and treat it like their private dining room. This is a guide about keeping squirrels off of walnut trees.
I can't stand the mess... Every morning I'm cleaning up after about 6 squirrels who are feasting in my wild (100 year old) walnut tree. What do I do to keep them away? My yard is a disaster; I spend hours cleaning up all the shells and the outer-coat of the walnut. It's a mess also because the outer-coat of the walnut stains everything it touches... What can I do to stop them? They are getting to the tree by the truck, and from the top of Garage. There no way to isolate the tree from these pests...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently car-free, but on occasion I will rent a car and take my bike on a road-trip.
My only option has been a trunk mounted bike rack. I bought an Allen Sports rack which works great.
But I have a few questions to those with experience with trunk-mounted racks.
1. When driving with my bicycle mounted on the trunk-rack , it is essential that I lock my front wheel to the bike frame (with my cable lock) to keep the handle bar and front wheel from turning from the vehicle's motion, as the wheel can often hit and rub against the paint of the rear bumper. The problem with this solution is that the force from the cable lock on my spokes from the vehicle's motion has bent one of my spokes. Is there another method of keeping the handle bar/front wheel straight while driving without the potential of damaging the wheel or spokes?
2. On many of the cars I have rented, it is nearly impossible to position the rack where the rack itself or the bicycle is not covering the visibility of the license plate.
I'm concerned about getting pulled over by a cop or even getting a ticket for this. I drive mostly in California, Oregon and Washington state.
Has anyone else been pulled-over for their bicycle or rack obscuring the visibility of their license plate? How did you handle the situation?
Is there any solution for this?
3. I'm wondering how a bicycle mounted to a trunk-rack impacts highway fuel economy of a compact or midsize car.
I have no means of testing this, as I often rent different vehicles and have no way to compare trips with and without my bicycle mounted to the car.
Part of one of my wheels does stick out and I'm sure that the aerodynamic wake is effected by the bicycle mounted behind the trunk.
I'm wondering if anyone has done any testing on impact to fuel economy with a trunk-mounted rack.
4. On my road trips, I often leave my trunk-mounted rack attached the trunk when I remove my bicycle to take a bike ride.
I am always sure to lock the rack to the car's tow hook using the same long cable that I use to secure my bicycle to my car.
I'm wondering if anyone has has their trunk-mounted rack stolen or vandalized when they left it on their car.

Pfandbrief Investor
McCrary, Ernest S., Global Finance
The Pfandbrief market is emerging from Europe's summer doldrums with new vigor based on a stronger euro, revived jumbo Pfandbrief bond issuance in Germany, and the extension of the Pfandbrief concept to other European countries-especially France and Spain. For most of the summer. volatility in the German government bund market meant volatility for Pfandbrief collateralized bonds, too. The market was sustained more hy the handful of top German market maker banks than by investors. but internaltional interest picked up almost immediately when the euro started strengthening against the dollar in late July and early August.
A more attractive euro will translate into more attractive Pfandbriefe issues. Many investors have remodeled their investment spectrum since the launch of European Monetary Union," says a current report on the Pfandbrief market from Commerzbank's mortgage banking subsidiary- Rheinhyp. "Pfandbriefe already carry considerable weight in constructed indexes and in defined benchmarks. (Changes in the market situation, such as an end to the euro s weakness. maquickly revive jumbo market activity."
Thus the adjustments in the market today are taking place within the context of investor acceptance of Pfandbriefe as a major asset class--and Europe's largest bond market. The Pfandbrief market has enjoyed phenomenal growth since the jumbo issues were introduced four years ago: says Stefan Dreesbach, head of jumbo Pfandbrief and bond options trading for WestLB in Dusseldorf. "This has happened because the interest rate cycle has been positive for these bonds and because German banks made the commitment to build the jumbo market. Today, with more than EUR200 billion in jumbos outstanding, the market has evolved from the old `closed shop' approach of the traditional Pfandbriefe into an open, international market with foreign investors holding 40% of all jumbos."
Along the way the minimum size of the jumbo deals has doubled from DMI billion to 1 billion, with most averaging EUR1.5-2 billion. Plans for a new EUR5 billion jumbo issue-the largest ever-were revealed by Frankfurt's Allgemeine HypothekenBank (AHB) in mid-August. Some market observers in Germany grumbled that this deal was "pushing the envelope" with an issue that was too big for current market conditions. But others saw it as a positive development, emphasizing German leadership in a market that is likely to be much more crowded soon with a swarm of Pfandbrieftype issues from around Europe.
"The French and Spanish want to come into this market, and we will be seeing deals there soon," says Gabriele Miller, who handles new issues and international syndication for HypoVereinsbank in Munich. "You can expect a couple of issues of around EUR1.5 billion each by Credit Foncier and Credit Local de France in September. In Spain, Caja de Madrid will invite bids early in September from banks interested in participating in a EUR1. …

my daughter is 10, and as smart as she is...i don't allow her to ride on the street. ONLY street riding she gets to do is w/in our neighborhood. i live on a somewhat highly used road and she's relegated to sidewalks there as well. i'm not putting the life of my daughter in the hands of these a$$hole$ that i share the road with. i'm just not. you can say we're in more danger on sidewalks but we ride slow...
My seven y/o daughter rides middle position when the whole family is out for a ride, and we occasionally have ridden some pretty busy streets. Lots of chatter, lots of instruction. When it's just my daughter and I, the positioning varies.
On the MUP, which crosses more than a few regular streets, I give her the lead which allows her to practice approaching an intersection and/or stop sign as well as proper passing etiquette. She loves the "On your left!" routine.
On regular roads I take the lead and she follows my line unless we're forced to stop at a light. At that point I put her ahead of me, cueing her on where her attention should be at any given moment. On the green, she leads us through the intersection and holds the front until I can safely resume our regular positioning. This allows her to develop a sense of what's going on at intersections while I can clearly see her while making eyeballs at nearby drivers. Most important, I believe, is constant communication, and a thorough post-ride review of any challenging or unusual situations that arose.
We do have the advantage of riding in Portland, which for the most part is a very bike/pedestrian friendly city. We lived in Tucson AZ until early this year, and there is no way I'd have her on anything but residential streets down there. Everybody's little variables are different; working with them is the key.
