Forget the official Banking Inquiry report because Joe Higgins has written a much more better one and it asks the rights questions and gets to the heart of the matter by putting the whole saga in its proper context -something which the official report couldn't thing as it would mean asking fundamental questions. Indeed the inquriy itself and official report have been steeped in controversary with allegations of coverup because of numerous reports of key officials and whistleblowers in the regulator office and central bank were ignored and their evidence never making into the inquiry. The whistleblower made a formal complaint under the Protected Disclosures Act and (Village Magazine) "outlining a range of detailed concerns about how the Central Bank and some of its legal representatives were omitting huge swathes of vital documents, redacting many of the most crucial pieces of evidence, and delaying release of vital material until it was too late to use them in briefings for public hearings in at least one case handing them over 24 hours before a scheduled interview about them."

The FG TD Tony McLoughlin has tabled a private members bill to ban fracking. There have been two previous motions to ban fracking, the first by People Before Profit and the second by Sinn Fein. However, this third attempt has come from an unexpected quarter -from within the ranks of FG itself. Deputy McLoughlin is indeed correct to want to ban fracking as basically all it does is pollutes the water table indefinitely over a huge area for paltry amounts of gas causing far more harm than good.

Latest PEOPLES NEWS covers TTIP and Brexit 22:56 Sath 28 Beal 0 comments
The regular news digest of the Peoples Movement, No. 147 is out now. It can be freely downloaded from the People's movement website and this issue has articles covering TTIP and a trade union view on Brexit. Recently Greenpeace published details of secret negotiations between the EU-US which were leaked and they indicated that EU officials had completely sold out to the US on all their corporate agenda demands. The TTIP agreement is by far and away the most undemocratic agreement ever devised and will shred protections of all kinds and oblierate the sovereignty every state that has this imposed on them. However the mainstream rightwing corporate media is not covering what is in TTIP and simply make false statements that it will bring jobs and growth, where the core issues are central to what it means to how society right across both the EU and US is run. Naturally our own mainstream political parties of FG and FF are completely for this corporate power grab of an agreement.

Akina, 44, was the secondary coach on former head coach Dick Tomey's staff, and was the longest-standing Tomey assistant with 14 years at UA.
Tomey resigned in late November, shortly after UA concluded a 5-6 season. Akina was hired by Mackovic, promoted to coordinator and given a raise in December to continue Arizona's use of the double-eagle flex defense. He left this week to take the secondary coach position at the University of Texas in Austin.
"The timing is bad," Mackovic said. "We had a new staff and a new situation, and he leaves three months later."
Mackovic assembled a staff by Dec. 19, in time have a full complement of coaches during the final weeks of the critical recruiting period leading up to National Letter of Intent signing date Feb. 7. (The Cats signed 18 prep players in assembling a solid class.)
Since, in addition to organizational strategy, learning Mackovic's offensive system and giving new defensive coaches a closer look at the double-eagle flex, the Wildcat staff has been completing plans for the beginning of spring practice, which starts on campus March 24. The NCAA-allowed 15 practice sessions will conclude with the annual Spring Game on Saturday, April 21.
But Akina's departure throws spring's defensive progress into question. "The biggest question is, where do we go defensively?" Mackovic said. "This (flex defense) is not a defense just anyone can walk in and coach.
Mackovic said it was possible Arizona could install a different defensive scheme, but teaching a new system typically takes considerable off-season time for both staff and players. "Most importantly, I want our team to know we will have a good defensive coaching staff," he said.
The roughest aspect of Akina taking the job at Texas is that Mackovic said he can't expect another coach to leave a position to join the Arizona staff as college football programs enter the critical stages of spring practice preparations. He said he had received several calls from prospective coaches, but that there would be only a couple of qualified -- and available -- candidates. "I can't expect somebody to walk out on another program at this time."
Arizona athletics director Jim Livengood echoed Mackovic's comments. "The timing stinks and I told Duane that," Livengood told the Tucson Citizen. "If this had happened in December it would have been so bad, but this is a terrible time for such a decision. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge Duane an opportunity to move on... but I do begrudge the timing."

Helping Our Newest Longhorns
This week Information Technology Services (ITS) began welcoming new fall 2013 students to campus. For the rest of the summer, incoming freshmen and transfer students will be participating in specially-designed orientation activities. All new students will be able to learn more about campus, meet their peers, register and sign-up for IT-related services, and consult with their academic advisors before registering for fall semester classes.
Special thanks go to the User Services team who are well prepared to greet new students, family, and friends arriving at the Flawn Academic Center and guide them to the ITS services they need. ITS Help Desk and ID Center staff are easy to identify because they have name tags and wear uniform clothing. These staff members are helping incoming students sign-up for UTmail, connect to the network, upgrade their UT Electronic ID (EID), explain how to use the UTprint service, and secure photo ID cards. There is always lots of excitement and many questions. It is fun to see us offering assistance and suggestions in ways that are helpful, resourceful, and fun.
ITS anticipates that increasing coordination with the Office of Student Affairs, improving line management techniques (including Twitter), and efficient delivery of ITS services will create positive first impressions.
As summer progresses and orientation continues, please freely answer questions, kindly offer directions, and happily share great stories of UT Austin's lore. You'll be assuring our newest Longhorns that we really do care, truly want them to be successful, and that their journey ahead will be a great one, well worth taking.

Very good, nicely laid out, imaginative, clear and concise. How 'bout the engine? Or a cross section?
It'd be a lot of work to make, and engines have never been my forte, so I think I might leave it as is! 'Tis a good idea though...

Box Score
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - In the Southeastern Conference opener, it took three extra innings to decide the game between Alabama and No 4-ranked Arkansas on Friday night at Baum Stadium. Arkansas' Jake Wise drew two-out walk with the bases loaded to push in the game-winning run, as the Razorbacks defeated the Crimson Tide, 4-3, in 12 innings.
Arkansas (17-2, 1-0 SEC) got a single and three walks in the 12th inning for to produce the game winning run. In his first appearance of the season, reliever Josh Rosecrans (0-1) allowed a single and a walk before giving way to Adam Windsor. Windsor walked Matt Vinson to load the bases, then with a 3-2 count on Wise, he missed high and away to push the final run across.
"You walk away from tonight disappointed with a loss, but I thought the effort from our team tonight was outstanding and we learned something about our team," UA head baseball coach Mitch Gaspard said. "We competed like crazy against the No. 4 team in the country. A lot of credit goes to Arkansas, they have a tremendous pitching staff, and we knew that coming in. We put ourselves in position to win the game twice, and the next step now it to finish the game and get the win."
Barrett Astin threw the final 3.1 innings for the Razorbacks to get the victory, as he improved to 2-0 on the season. Rosecrans pitched the Tide (8-10, 0-1 SEC) out of a jam in the 11th inning, as he threw 1.2 innings, allowing one run on two hits with a walk and a strikeout.
Offensively, Alabama was led by freshman catcher Ben Moore, who was 3-for-6 with three singles to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Hunter Gregory had a pair of hits, including an RBI double in the ninth inning. Taylor Dugas was 1-for-5 with a single in the fourth, extending his hit streak to 11 games.
"We're starting to move in the right direction, and if we continue to play the game like we did tonight, we will win a lot of ballgames," Gaspard said. "Some kids stepped up and really laid it on the line tonight in a tough environment. This is one of the toughest places to play in the country, and our guys played with a lot of confidence and didn't break down. You never want to lose a game that way, and outside of the loss, tonight was a very positive step for our ball club."
Alabama used six pitchers in the game, as starting pitcher Charley Sullivan lasted 5.1 innings, before giving way to Jon Keller for two. Jake Hubbard lasted 1.2 innings and Ian Gardeck threw one before giving way to Rosecrans for the final 1.2 innings. It was the first appearance of the season for Rosecrans. The final pitcher for Alabama, Adam Windsor walked both batters he faced in the 12th inning. The six Alabama pitchers allowed 12 total walks in the game.
Wise was 2-for-4, with a run scored and an RBI and Jacob Morris and Sam Bates had two hits each for the Razorbacks.
It looked like Alabama would take an early two-run lead, but Arkansas left fielder Matt Vinson reached over the fence to rob Josh Rosecrans from his third home run of the week, to end the first inning.
In the third, Jon Kelton was hit by a pitch and Taylor Dugas singled, to extend his hit streak to 11 games, to put runners on first and third. A balk by Baxendale with runners on the corners allowed the runners to move up 90 feet for the first run of the game. The single also extended Dugas' streak of reaching base to 30 consecutive, as he's reached in all 18 games this season and the final 12 of the 2011 season.
Arkansas answered with a run in the bottom of the third, when a single up the middle by Tim Carver plated Jake Wise to tie the game, 1-1. Arkansas threated to take the lead by loading the bases with one out later in the inning. With the bags full of Hogs, Sullivan got Ficociello to pop out to third and then he struck out Bates to end the threat.
UA threated in the fifth, but with the bases loaded Jared Reaves' ground ball up the middle was fielded by the Arkansas shortstop Carver, who flipped to second for the force out to end the inning.
In the sixth, Alabama threated again, but failed to push a run across. When Ben Moore extended his hit streak to nine games with a single to left field, it put a pair aboard with no outs. A wild pitch moved the runner up 90 feet and Roberts was hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out. Pinch-hitter Austen Smith grounded into an inning ending 6-4-3 double play to end the threat.
The Tide manufactured a run in the eighth to go ahead, 2-1. Reaves singled to open the inning and moved to second on a sac bunt by Rosecrans. After a groundout to the pitcher allowed Reaves to move up to third, Arkansas reliever Colby Suggs threw a wild pitch that allowed Reaves to score.
The Razorbacks answered in the eight when Bo Bigham doubled high off the left center field wall with runners on first and second. Ficociello scored from second, but a perfect relay from Hunter Gregory to Reaves to Moore cut down pinch-runner Brian Anderson at the plate.
Alabama regained the lead in the ninth when Gregory doubled down the right field line to score Brandt Hendricks from second base. The Razorbacks answered in the bottom half of the inning, when an RBI double by Jacob Morris drove in Vinson to tie the game and send it into extra innings.
The Crimson Tide and No. 4 Razorbacks will continue the three-game SEC series on Saturday. First pitch scheduled for 3 p.m. CST from Baum Stadium, and will be televised on CSS with Joe Davis and Jay Powell providing the commentary. Alabama will start freshman left-handed Taylor Guilbeau (1-1, 3.98) and Arkansas will throw right-handed pitcher Ryne Stanek (4-0, 1.12).

A dip in seawater energizes graphene
An induced electronic potential has been observed for the first time in graphene as it is dipped – or "waved" – in and out of seawater. The results extend centuries' old theories of electrokinetic effects and shed new light on the behaviour of carbon nanomaterials in liquids, which has been subject to conflicting reports for more than a decade. The waving potential, which is proportional to both the speed of movement and the length of the graphene, can also be scaled up, suggesting that the effect could be harnessed in future self-powered devices.
The results came as something of a surprise to Wanlin Guo of China's Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Guo knew that a liquid flowing under pressure through a narrow channel can generate an electronic "streaming" potential, but he emphasizes that "without a pressure gradient we get no potential".
As Guo and his colleagues expected, initial studies of fully immersed graphene moving in seawater showed no induced streaming potential, since no pressure gradient was present. "But when we checked the original record there was a very large signal at the beginning when the graphene was inserted," adds Guo. And once the graphene was fully immersed, the signals vanished.
Moving boundaries
To understand the underlying physics, Guo and his colleagues carried out first-principle calculations describing the interaction of graphene with the sodium and chloride ions in the solution. They found that graphene prefers to adsorb positive sodium ions onto its surface, with the adsorbed layer of sodium ions then attracting a diffuse layer of negative chlorine ions. This creates a so-called electron double layer, a model that's often used to describe electrokinetic effects.
The researchers realized that this electron double layer has a boundary at the air-liquid interface when the graphene is being inserted into the seawater. "The moving boundary of the double layer is the generator," explains Guo. Fewer chlorine ions accumulate around the layer of sodium ions while the graphene is moving, which increases the concentration of holes in the graphene and generates the waving potential. The reverse effects generate an opposite potential as the graphene is removed and the charges disperse.
Graphene – a simple and beautiful platform
Researchers began to investigate how a streaming potential might be induced by the flow of liquid through carbon nanotubes in around 2001, looking also at how the response of the nanotube was affected by the flow of ionic solutions around the tube. "But the results differed from millivolt to microvolt and the conditions required were conflicting," says Guo.
Guo and his colleagues turned to graphene, which Guo describes as "a very neat and very beautiful platform." Experiments with graphene reproducibly demonstrate the generation of a waving potential, and only when the sheet is moving into or out of the liquid.
Using bilayer and trilayer graphene, the effect was greatly reduced. "To maintain the potential we need a single-layer material," explains Guo. "In bulk material the potential would be relieved by material beneath the surface."
Next steps
"Here we concentrated on the new principal of the waving potential and how to scale it up," says Guo. "Next we are making efforts to amplify the power density." To this end the team have already demonstrated the potential to scale up the electricity induced through connections in series and in parallel. The high-quality graphene required to observe a response also poses challenges for future work.
Full details of the research are reported in Nature Communications.

And we were so close to getting out of the hole we were in.
There is a tendency by many of those who saw this episode to utterly loathe it, yet another of the first season's continued problems of trying to assign a level of interest to a story that would otherwise be completely pedestrian. So we try and make this based on the very first X-Files, and if that isn't enough trying to link it to a series of deaths connected with the Lewis & Clark expedition, rather than just having what amounts to the ultimate shaggy dog story.
There are two obvious things wrong with Shapes, both of which can probably be ascribed to the fact that it's yet another episode linked to a first time (and in this case, only) writer for the show. (There are rumors that Morgan & Wong did some uncredited rewrites for this episode I hope those rumors are false, because otherwise there's definitely no excuse for the failings here.) There's the fact that the pacing for this story is god-awful slow. Those of us who are familiar with genre TV know that this is probably going to be a werewolf episode by the time the teaser's over. It takes us well into the second act just for Mulder to confirm that this has something to do with werewolves, and another fifteen minutes for someone to tell us that it is. Usually, it takes Mulder minutes to get his theory for the case, and as we learn, he knew about it well before he and Scully arrived on the scene. So why the hell doesn't he try to show off for once? And then there's that the fact that it tries to make a mystery out of who the creature of the night is, when by the time the creature makes its second attack, everybody with half a brain knows that it's Lyle Parker. And it doesn't say much for Scully that she doesn't seem able to find anything suspicious about Lyle walking around naked right after his father is killed. It just seems like another lead-in to a Scully in jeopardy plot
Then there's the fact that this episode is trying to dress up an old story with a somewhat different twist--- the legend of the Manitou. The X-Files did a much better job dealing with Native Americans then almost any other show of its era, but considering that this is being done by a writer who clearly has no experience with the story, almost everything about it falls decidedly flat. The Indians versus ranchers struggle, the Indian law enforcement official trying to hold in his anger against the white man and his past, and then realizing that the old ways are trying to tell him something, the Native elder who seems determined to tell the FBI what he's seen from many years in the past--- it seems like a B-plot for a Monument Valley western, only it's never seemed more obvious that we're in Vancouver.
It's a shame, because despite all these flaws, the episode is much better than expected. Seeing the stuffed animals at the Parker ranch does gives this story more of an atmosphere than it perhaps deserves. And the genuine anger from many of the Indians does lend this episode more strength it probably should have, thanks to the solid work of Michael Horse and Donnelly Rhodes. It's also rare for any X-Files episode, that it for once presents a law-enforcement official who is sympathetic to the agents cause eventually The major problem with this episode is in retrospect with all the stories about werewolves we could get on TV--- Joss Whedon and Alan Ball would do such brilliant stories in supernatural based shows that this is can only seem bland and sluggish in comparison. It doesn't help matters that half the episode is bland and sluggish, and that when the tribe elder suggests the possibility of a sequel, we fervently hope he's wrong, because we don't want to go through all of this nonsense again.
It's fine. It's definitely nowhere near as bad as the worst of the series or even this season have been. But it's not particularly a lot of fun either. And it seems more like this was an episode that the network executives were pushing for more than anything else (which, in fact, was the case). Considering how well this series would do vampires, ghouls and Frankenstein, its a shame that they couldn't get the most basic trope of horror-sci-fi done well. But then, they were never that good with ghosts and demons, either.
My score: 2 stars.

Re: Shot down for Chase Amazon?

Little update here...
So apparently a recon was not necessary. I received this in my inbox this morning.
Congratulations! You have been approved for the Amazon.com Consumer Rewards Visa® Card. Your new card has been automatically added to your Amazon.com account as your default payment method. Before using your card, obtain your cardmember agreement and other important information about your account through the link below. Once you have obtained your cardmember agreement, you can start using your card immediately.
I guess they really did need additional time to process my application. I even double checked my Amazon account and the card has been added as a default payment with a little nice surprise...a $30 gift card! Mahah! I am shocked by the credit line however---$1,500 wth. It's a bit off from my CL on my freedom card (3k). I am going to call and ask Chase to match my Chase Amazon and Chase Freedom. Would they have to HP my credit again? And should I do it before or after I activate my card?
Congrats! You could call CS if you want, but you have to think of it as Chase extending you a total of $4,500 not two separate lines (if that makes sense), as they are both new cards. I personally would not call them until the 6 month mark, when you have more history with them. On another note, I think Chase has been awesome about letting people open (2) personal cards in a short time frame. This use to be highly unlikely, leading to a lot of myths revolving around this very subject. So CONGRATS and treat them well!

The quicker that transition takes place, the better chances Morgan gives himself at latching on to a wide receiver spot amidst a group that includes Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks and Robert Meachem. 2 Payton said Saints tight end Jimmy Graham posted the best results on the team's strength and conditioning test on Thursday, despite missing offseason workouts and minicamp while negotiating a four-year, $40 million contract extension. While the team knows his physical shape didn't suffer while he was away, it's time to get an idea about whether his timing with Saints quarterback Drew Brees hits any bumps; or if that's as impressive out of the gate as his conditioning test was. 3 The first thing Payton said when asked what he'd focus on as training camp got underway was "the return game." The Saints expect punt and kickoff return duties will be handled by two different players. In the coming days, expect speedsters like Cooks, Stills and running back Travaris Cadet to be evaluated for those jobs, which of course afford playmakers extra touches.

Waxman Wins First Round Against Dingell
Quick update: Rep. Henry Waxman won the first-round of voting today in his bid for a hostile takeover of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. A panel of big-shot Dems voted 25-22 in favor of Waxman unseating John Dingell, the Michigan Democrat who now chairs the committee.
The final vote comes tomorrow, when the full House Democratic Caucus will vote on who should hold the gavel. The WSJ'sWash Wire says Dingell may get backing from rank-and-file congressmen wary of shaking up the seniority system, as well as moderate Dems who find Waxman (D., Calif.) too liberal.
This matters to the Health Blog because the committee has a lot of power over the drug and device industries — witness Dingell's frequent questions about Merck and Schering-Plough's cholesterol drug Vytorin and his criticism of direct-to-consumer drug ads and the FDA.
Of course, Waxman's work running the House Oversight Committee — including his opposition to the drug industry's favorite legal doctrine — suggests that he, like Dingell, will likely keep the heat on drug and device makers. Though once Obama takes occupancy of the White House, the appetite for congressional oversight of fellow Democrats in the administration could cool a bit.

Honors Chamber Ensembles
Part of Student Ensembles 2011-2012
|Wednesday, April 25, 2012
|7:30 pm
A variety of Buffalo State music department chamber ensembles will perform, directed by Crystal Reinoso and Rick Fleming. The concert is free and open. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Small performing groups such as the woodwind, brass, and string ensembles give students the opportunity to explore the wealth of repertoire that has been written for smaller instrumental combinations. Typical ensembles include the Buffalo State College Saxophone Quartet, Clarinet Choir, Flute Trio, Brass Quintet, and String Quartet, all of which play music from a broad spectrum of styles, by composers as various as Mozart, Villa-Lobos, Beethoven, Lennon-McCartney, Nelhybel, Bach, and Jobim. Students in these groups enjoy the challenge and rewards of playing one-on-a-part, and perform not only in concert situations, but also for college and community events such as receptions and awards ceremonies.

12 Odd and Bizarre FountainsBy Village Mayor • Jan 27th, 2009 • Category: Architecture, Latest Post, The Best of Village of Joy, Weird
While collecting the pictures for a post about strange sculptures I discovered some very bizarre and odd looking fountains and I really wanted to share it with you. Some of them looked a bit shocking when I first saw them, but after 1 hour of working on this post, cropping, uploading and optimizing the pictures, my eyes became so numb that I can hardly tell my opinion about them. So please share your thoughts in the comments and tell me what you think of these strange fountains.

Washington based firm, Nutriom, LLC. has announced on Feb 15 that they are recalling dozens of dried egg based products due to a possible Salmonella contamination.
The full list of products can be found on the USDA press release; consumers with health concerns should consult with their health care provider. Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever.
By raising your own birds, you can eliminate the risk of contaminated, mass produced egg products. It is possible to test your backyard chickens for Salmonella with a simple fecal test run by a veterinarian, who can then recommend a suitable course of action if any come back positive.
Prevention is always better than cure, so always ensue that coops and runs are kept clean and dry and free of fecal matter, and also well ventilated, but dust free. Wild birds and rodents should be kept away from poultry wherever possible, as they carry many diseases that it is possible for them to transmit.

Tashi Delek! During the summer of 2007 I spent one month traveling across the Tibetan areas of Qinghai and Sichuan. Few months later the access to these areas has been denied to non-Chinese citizens. The photographs in this book are my attempt to describe the feeling I had traveling there. The unique atmosphere of this wonderful country, the spirituality of the Buddhism and all the symbols and colors of the religion, the friendly and very relaxed people always smiling and praying, the beautiful landscapes with amazing and breathtaking views.
When I've been back to Italy, people asked me to talk about this trip, but I had problems to find the right words to describe what I saw and what I felt. Tibet is a different world with different rules. The only thing I can do is to show my photographs in silence.
Giorgio Fochesato studied Information Technology and Software Engineering. The curiosity towards the World emerge after the study when he left his first job to travel alone all around Australia and New Zealand with his backpack. The passion for photography becomes an activity during year 2006 when he began to sell Royalty Free pictures. In the first two years of activity he had customers from all over the world: US, UK, Italy, Finland, Norway, Canada, Poland, Czech Rep, Germany and Australia. During year 2007 he did his first reportage living in China for one month, in a Tibetan school located at 5000 meters above the sea level, managing the school and taking pictures of the kids living there. He did this job for the Himalayan Seeds Onlus association. He speaks Italian, German, English and Spanish and has been in: Italy, San Marino, Vatican city, Austria, Switzerland, UK, French, Spain, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, China and Tibet, Belgium, Malta and Morocco.

If you have trouble sleeping at night, count your blessings instead of sheep.
I'd like to post a few things about this business on the front page. All of this is available elsewhere on this site, but many people seldom look any further than the front.
First: We are no longer doing work on furnaces or A/C units.
2nd: We do not accept credit cards and have not done so for the past 5 years. Our terms are Cash or Check only.
3rd: Parts being ordered having a value above $50 must be pre-paid for in advance. No exceptions.
4th: Due to the high number of rental property owners being slow to pay us and requiring constant badgering to do so, we are instituting a new policy:
At the conclusion of service at a rental property, payment is expected at that time. No exceptions. Either the property owner must be present to pay, or the tenants must pay and be re-imbursed by the owner. Before beginning any work, the tenant will be advised of this policy. These are our new terms.
We regret having to implement this policy, but a significant number of rental property owners have been troublesome in providing us our just compensation in a timely fashion. The time spent chasing them down to pay is just not worth it. I guess it's true that nice guys finish last. I AM a nice guy and I run an honest respectable business that many people use over and again, but some people have taken advantage of that.
5th: Our diagnostic fee is $50 (with some caveats listed on OUR SERVICES page) and is applied to the repair, should you decide to proceed. Minimum Labor charge is $130, plus parts.
A few weeks ago I had an informal lunch meeting with my Fisher and Paykel Tech rep Matt. He's a young guy that comes from an appliance repair family. (His dad was a servicer and Matt got into it, following in Dad's footsteps). So, over fish and chips and ale at Penny Lane in San Marcos, we amicably chatted about many things. We got along just peachy. Once the subject of honesty and integrity came up, Matt told me a tale that was amazing and I feel you all ought to know what happens out there.
This is a simple enough scam that reaps a "servicer" as much as $1000 a day without doing a thing!!!
Without naming names, these servicers are usually Russian or Ukranian. I don't want to cast aspersions on a group as a whole, but from what I hear from my customers… well, to coin an old saying: "If the shoe fits, wear it." I've heard enough horror tales from my customers about there guys and it seems they are invariably of that Geo-political suasion.
The scam:
You call the company and they tell you their diagnostic or service fee is quite high (usually $75 to $95 dollars) They come out and (often without even opening up their tool bag) tell you it will cost you an OUTRAGEOUSLY ASTRONIMICAL fee to get it repaired.
You being a reasonable, rational and level headed person out of hand will reject the appraisal, you pay them their "fee" and they leave.
And that's it. You've just been scammed.
Here's the scam.
They (the servicers from the company) really had no intention of ever fixing your appliance from the get-go. In many cases, they have no skill or experience on your high end whateveritis.
ALL THEY WERE LOOKING FOR WAS THE SERVICE OR THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE that you paid them for coming out and "diagnosing" your problem. If they make 8-10 service calls each day, spending no more that about 15 minutes in your home, they've just made as much as $900 in a day for essentially doing nothing!
They make it a point to quote you an OUTRAGEOUS price to assure that you wont be calling them to fix your machine. And, even if you were ever foolish enough to actually have them fix the machine, you can bet on even money that they just won't show up. I have heard this from my own customers.
But how on earth can they possibly survive in this age of social media and online reviews you may ask…
Well, these guys know that with this lousy "service" they provide, very negative reviews are bound to arise, but Aha! They are ahead of you there. They pay hefty sums of money to SEO (search engine optimization) companies to monitor their name and websites to constantly scrub and bury negative content on a daily basis.
What can you do to protect yourself from these pirates? Tough question. Check them out from top to bottom. Ask your friends. Call the BBB. Ask them a lot of questions and see if they seem to know what they're talking about.
Sometimes you have to go by a gut feeling. I've often heard these guys described by my customers as arrogant, condescending, and rude. Often seeming to be in a rush to get out of the house with your check for their service call.
It's a real shame these guys prey on unsuspecting customers. It gives the rest of us who are trying to provide honest service a bad name.
We've been having problems with Google. Seems they have grouped us in with appliance parts retailers. Sorry but we don't sell parts. Instead, try Coast Parts in E San Marcos or Appliance Parts Center in W Escondido. They're very busy dealing with the Trade, so be sure to have the Brand and Model number ready, and try as best you can to know the correct name for the part you need. ("that little thingie that spins round and round", ain't gonna cut it.)

Finding the Infertility Treatment That is Best for You
Media Inquiries
Our Services
Getting pregnant may not always be as simple as people expect.
More than six million couples in the U.S. struggle with problems conceiving. It can be confusing, embarrassing, intimidating and even overwhelming for couples to decide just what to do about it.
To help, UW Health's Generations Fertility Care specialists held a Community Talk to help couples understand what approaches might work best for their situation.
Doctors recognize there aren't unlimited resources, so they look for how to maximize a couple's chances of conception.
The best candidates for natural conception usually include couples where:
- The woman is younger than 35, has good ovarian reserve, and has open and mobile fallopian tubes
- The man has good sperm
- A gradual approach to conception will not cause undue stress for the couple.
For couples who fit those criteria, there are ways to stack the deck in their favor, including:
- Avoiding spermicidal lubricants
- Minimizing NSAIDS (Motrin, Alleve, and other non-acetaminophen (Tylenol) pain relievers) around the time of ovulation (for women taking higher doses for chronic issues such as migraines)
- Stopping smoking and minimizing alcohol consumption
- Undergoing a preliminary evaluation by a health professional
- Having opportunities for conception to occur
When a couple decides to start trying to conceive, it is recommended they see a health professional, whether it is a couples' primary physician, nurse practitioner or even a fertility specialist.
Assisted Reproductive Techniques
For couples for whom assisted reproductive techniques become necessary, generally there is a stepwise approach to determining where to start treatments:
- Natural conception
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with oral medication
- Intrauterine insemination with injectible medication
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)
Dan Lebovic, MD, medical director of Generations Fertility Care, explained that there are three issues that are taken into consideration when deciding where to begin treatments:
- Ensuring everyone is comfortable and agrees on the level of treatment
- Affordability
- Expectations of results
A couple may not be willing to take particular risks associated with a treatment, and it's important that they have realistic expectations of the results.
"Normal fecundity for a couple with no problems is around 20 percent," explained Dr. Lebovic. "That is the chance of conceiving each month. Over a year's time, there is a 85 percent chance of conceiving."
The rate drops to around 1 to 4 percent per month for couples experiencing unexplained subfertility, a condition where there is no known cause for infertility.
Using unexplained infertility as an example, Dr. Lebovic explained that by undergoing treatment a couple's chances of conceiving could range from 4 percent using IUI alone to as greater than 30 percent using IVF (and as high as 40-50 percent). In helping a couple, it is a matter of fine tuning.
"Each couple is different in determining how long to stay on each step," commented Lebovic.
There are potential side effects with fertility medications and the cost can be significant. Often, it is the financial aspect that determines couple's willingness to stay with a treatment. In Wisconsin, most fertility treatments are not covered by insurance, although Generations Fertility Care offers numerous financial options to assist couples receiving care.
Male Infertility
In undergoing fertility treatments, it is critical that men undergo a routine evaluation as well, although frequently they don't.
There is a notion in the general public and the medical community that the problem is due to the woman, and not the man. Yet, in approximately 50 percent of infertility cases, men are part of the cause.
Dan Williams, MD, a urologist fellowship-trained in male infertility, explained that there are three main reasons the male factor is overlooked, including:
- Access to care - couples may not have access to a urologist specially trained in male infertility
- Perception - both the general public and the medical community frequently perceive infertility as strictly a female problem
- Success of fertility treatments - because assisted reproductive techniques are so successful, often the male side is overlooked
"The goal of a male factor evaluation is to identify potentially correctable conditions that, once corrected, could allow for natural conception," explained Williams.
Through an evaluation, doctors can also determine whether there are irreversible conditions and conditions not amenable to assisted reproductive techniques.
"We can spare couples the stress of attempting ineffective therapies if we know the underlying cause," commented Dr. Williams.
An evaluation also extends beyond fertility issues as well. Through an examination, doctors can identify any potentially life- or health-threatening conditions.
Yet even after a thorough evaluation, it may not be possible to determine the cause of a man's fertility problem.
"While varicocele is the leading cause of infertility in men, the second is idiopathic, which means we don't actually know why there are difficulties," said Dr. Williams.
Despite that, there are infertility treatments that may make conception possible.
Charles Bormann, PhD, Generations IVF/Andrology lab supervisor, explained that even when there is no sperm, there are retrieval techniques that can procure enough for a couple to undergo treatment. The key is that the sperm are healthy.
"There are a lot of parameters that indicate healthy sperm," said Dr. Bormann. "It's not just about the number."
Even when the sperm aren't entirely healthy, there are options available to couples including IVF with ICSI that can improve the chances of conception. Even then, IVF isn't a guarantee.
Emotional Aspects of Infertility
"Sometimes the treatments are as hard as the condition," comments Julianne Zweifel, PhD, the clinical psychologist at Generations. Her role is to help couples maintain a quality of life while they're experiencing infertility.
When a couple first decides to try and conceive, they are filled with tremendous excitement. But that can give way to uncertainty when it is more difficult than anticipated. Couples are left wondering how long to continue trying and unsure of what the problem is.
"When couples experience infertility, they often have feelings of unfairness, worry about the long term, concerns about being judged and a sense of isolation," said Dr. Zweifel.
Dr. Zweifel is available for both couples and individual counseling and in some cases, such as when a couple is undergoing an IVF. Though not mandatory, seeing her often helps alleviate many stressors and barriersin the process.
"A lot of people are mystified about seeing a psychologist," commented Dr. Zweifel. "In reality, it's a focused discussion to get out the different emotions, thoughts and worries. Get a little sunshine on the issues."
While a wide range of topics is usually discussed, everything from treatment options to personal beliefs, the end result is to help the couple come back together and resolve the emotional strain.
"It's to help couples have the sense of quality of life and emotional strength as they get through their treatments," concluded Dr. Zweifel.

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands - The first 40 bodies of 200 Dtuch people who were killed on Malaysia Flight 17 were greeted by a dignified reception at Eindhoven airport by the Dutch royal family and grieving relatives on Wednesday in stark contrast to the previous treatment of the victims bodies being left to rot in the summer heat for three days by pro-Russian separatists who stripped the victims of their possessions and blocked the forensic investigation.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands were seen on the airport tarmac holding hands and wiping aways tears as the bodies were removed from the transporter aircraft. A lone bugler played the traditional military farewell "Last Post" during the ceremony as the 40 bodies were brought home in simple wooden caskets from two military planes. Soldiers then walked the caskets to waiting hearses where they were seen giving one last final salute.
After the somber ceremony, a long line of 40 hearses carrying the souls were seen being escorted by police as hundreds of thousands lined the streets in Hilversum to pay their respects as the hearses made their way to a Dutch military base where forensic investigators will begin the painstaking and grim work to identify the 40 bodies with the help of grieving families.
As the Netherlands declared Wednesday to be an official day of mourning, windmills were seen placed at "mourning position" with the wings tilted to the right and flags were flown at half-staff. Dutch TV, radio, courts suspended all trials, and flights into Amsterdam's Schipol airport suspended to honor the victims and show their respect.
Meanwhile, the Dutch Safety Board said in a statement on Wednesday that the crash investigators say they are still unable to visit the site of the crash under safe conditions saying they don't have everything they need. "At the time of writing, the investigators have not yet been able to visit the site of the crash and conduct their investigation under safe conditions."
The two "black boxes" retrieved from the Malaysia Airlines plane arrived in the UK on Wednesday after taking days for the pro-Russian separatists who control the area of the crash scene, to hand over the boxes to Malaysian officials.Skilled investigators will now try to unspool what is crucial information needed the Dutch safety board said will take weeks to yield the results. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it will also take weeks and maybe even months before the bodies can be identified.
Officials on Monday said the bodies of 16 people are still unaccounted for and may be scattered among the sunflower fields where the Malaysia plane went down where the debris spans several miles long.
U.S. officials said on Tuesday, pro-Russian rebels are responsible for shooting down that plane however are suggesting the rebels may not have known it was a commercial airliner.
