The next time I used it was three months later at my next consumer show. The first day of the show was a Friday and the terminal would not process transactions so I called technical support. They responded that it was the wireless server Verizon that was the problem, even though I was speaking with them on a Verizon cell phone. It was suggested that I take the terminal and get in my car and drive around until I picked up a signal. I guess I was supposed invite the customer to go for a ride so I could process their sale.
After almost 3 hours of technical support I finally turned the terminal off and then back on, it processed 6 transactions before it quit working again. Later that evening I tried to close out the batch of course could not.
Again I called technical support. I was told again that it was the wireless server and that when the sun came up I would probably get a better signal and that it was in God's hands now. I was also told that the majority of their service calls were for this unit but yet it was the server that was the issue?
On Saturday morning I called technical support and was told yet again it was the wireless server even though the terminal was now plugged into a land phone line! I was then told that they would not be able to assist me until the technical support staff came in on Monday. The two biggest days of the show I was unable to process any credit card transactions, costing me about $700 in sales. The only reason I needed a terminal was for trade/consumer shows and I was out the boot fee and loss of sales not to mention the $1044.75 I spent on the terminal.
When I contacted IMS on Monday I was told we are sorry for your inconvenience. A loss of sales in not inconvenient it is unacceptable. I asked to terminate their service of course there will be an exorbitant termination fee and only an 80% rebate on the faulty terminal (of course return shipping is on my dime).
In summation, IMS promised 24/7/365 customer service/technical support and did not deliver. They promised superior equipment and service and did not provide that either. I guess I was only allowed to process credit sales when I was in my car, with the sun shinning and with God's blessing. It will cost me about $500 to terminate, and at this point I am almost willing to pay the price for terminating any and all business with Innovative Merchant Solutions, I would rather have my sanity.

Just a quick query, how can I separate the style from Template CSS to style.css because so far it only reads my <h3> and <h4> style on style.css not the Template CSS.
and also, can I change these <h3> and <h4> to something like span classes?
this is the link I am working on, http://www.cbw.co.uk/search-by-name/
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you

not bad
the game would probably be alot better if u were to add more levels cuz u sit there n spend maybe 2 hours playing the game hoping to get past the lvl n u finnaly beat it n the games over n then ur pretty much sittin there thinking wtf
Rated 4 / 5 stars
good game
but just for this bug.
at one point of the game when i use a mine to kill some zombies, most of the zombies got stuck to the screen and every time i move it moves with me and every time i place a mine it disappear. then at some point at level 29-30 all the zombies and mines that where missing between level 23 to 30 came back but lucky I survive
( just remember to have mines with you when this happens)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
It was ok
Just ok... it wasnt great but it wasnt horrible. It kept me entertained and I finally beat the game which was nice but it just sucked how much time and health you had to feed your character to keep everything going. The semi automatic guns are all fucked up. I would randomly fire 2-3 quick shots and then not be able to shoot for a second (and no I wasnt reloading) and then fire off a quick group of 2-3 again. You shouldnt have to be level 25 or even close to finish the game but the way you have it setup you pretty much have to be. I would rather see people make a healing/repairing character that dodges the enemies and repairs the shit out of the truck or a heavy weapons type that shoots a ton and reloads fast as hell but is slow to fix the truck. The end of the wave should kill all the remaining zombies.... it shouldnt be a time limit to say hey kill everyone or get fucked over by another retarded spawn of zombies.
The concept was fun even if it has already been done. Everything made sense, put on the door, put in the engine, put the tires on (even if there was only 2) and pump them up and get out of there but I would of liked to have the easy tasks be faster and put more of them in there. For example it takes the same amount of time to put an engine in as it does to put a flat tire on? How about grab the tire and put it on and then grab the lug nuts afterwards. Grab the engine and then put the hood on. Grab the gas can and fill the tank with gas. Easy things like that which would end up taking the same amount of time but be less boring.
As for the weapons they where pretty cool but not that great. Some guns seemed to be a sidestep or a step backwards into a horrible choice. The double barrel was one of those first choices for me. I ended up using the pistol simply because even at point blank range the shotgun was weak. Maybe add upgrades to certain guns and keep them more level. One guy could have a pistol fully upgraded into a Glock 18 with a huge mag and laser sight and another could have a double barrel with slugs and a bandolier to reload faster and hit multiple enemies.
I really enjoyed the game but there where sooo many moments where I wanted to say fuck it im done. Im sort of glad I didnt but I really finished the game wanting more.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Cool game
but, there could be some improvements
i shall list some i feel would be appropriate in the sequel, if you make one.
-wider variety of weapons
-Npc's that would help you defend
-weapon descriptions
-splitting skill trees
-wider variety of zombies
-and a few "one wave" buyables
i do hope this encourages you to make another game like this, where the driver crashes, and losses his guns(somehow, although i bet you can find a way) kudos to you, i hope my vote increases the average.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Wtf man
I enjoyed the game, but eventually it just felt like the was always too much shit flying at you with too slow reloading, even with the upgrades. If you were to fix just one of these things, it would be a great game.

and the total came to $784.07.
After waiting a week and 1/2 It came by post in one heavy box.
I opened it up and found an old dirty DHS Dell with a old NEC Accusync LCD Monitor.
I was really surprised with the dirty condition of the computer(Dirty hand prints and dust all over it) and the monitor (Which I thought was to be a touch screen).
I set it up and made all the connections and when I turned it on... all the monitor would say is no signal.
I was upset and sent them a E-mail about the fact it wasn't a tough screen which I thought it was and the dirty condition of this old crappy system.(it was not refurbished at all).
They E-Mailed back that I had ordered the LCD Model which was a surprise to me.
I told them how disappointed I was with this purchase and I wanted my money back even if I paid the return shipping.
They did not answer me back and after I E-mailed them again to tell them at least send me a monitor that works and what about the customer display you show on the ad??
I received a cash box, printer and the bar code reader over the next week which seem to be new but of poor quality. The whole system is not worth three hundred dollars at the most. I now have an old dell computer with an old NEC monitor that does not work. They won't answer their phone or return my E-mails.
These guys are a scam.
Its obvious I will not get any satisfaction from these guys but I would like to save someone from these rip off guys.
Also the uTouch software is a real joke,You can find a lot better software on opensource.
These guys are a total ripoff don't get sucked in by them.

I purchaced the bundle and the computer it came with was a thirty store comoputer, the other hardware was more than three times expensier than ebay. The comoputer stoped working after 4 months of use and when a replace it, the software wouldn't work on the new computer, so I need to call them so the y can set up the new computer beause they are the only one who coulkd do it. They took forever to help me and they threatened me like if I was chating and getting the software on two computers. The printer broke after a year and when I try to replace it, I couldn't because the software was formated for the broken printer only and there is not way customized the receipt to print properly with other printers.
long story short... SAVE YOUR SELF MONEY AND A BAD TIME, DO NO DEAL WITH UTOUCH POS!!

Red Hat Directory Server 8 with Improved Security
Linux distributor Red Hat has released version 8 of the Red Hat Directory Server.
The codebase for the authentication server was taken from the free Fedora Directory Server project; the product is being marketed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The main objective of Version 8.0 was to achieve compatibility with Red Hat's own installer, RPM, as the developers stated in their product release announcement. This means that users can rely on the standard update process available on the Red Hat Network. One of the customer references that Red Hat cites is the University of Basle, Switzerland, where the Red Hat Directory Server controls access to the university computers by some 15,000 students.
The other new features in version 8.0 include improved IPv6 support, and above all advanced security functions. For example, the password syntax rules have been revised, and the software now comes with an SE Linux profile out of the box. A module certified by the NSS (National Security Service) has also been added for FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) compliance. The Red Hat Directory Server 8 now supports additional platforms, running on RHEL 4 and 5, on 32 or 64 bit platforms, the 64 bit Itanium platform HP-UX 11i, and 64 bit SPARC computers with the Solaris 9 operating system.
Red Hat bought the technology for Directory Server from AOL/Netscape, publishing the sources for Netscape Directory Server in the summer of 2005. In the meantime, Fedora Directory Server has become part of a newer, more generic project known as freeIPA, which deals with identitity management, policies and auditing for Unix and Linux operating systems.

Using AIOSEO and Suffusion Theme - there is no pagination in the Search Pages titles, and this produces duplicate titles for search pages which have pagination - Page 2, Page 3, etc. This problem is specific to search pages only, using Suffusion Theme.
Is there a fix, or a way to allow rewrite of titles in AIOSEO but exclude search pages (this will allow the theme to do its own pagination for titles on search pages).

New London — The mayor has proposed a streamlined budget for 2013-14 that calls for a $1 million cut in municipal spending.
But because of a $2.7 million reduction in state and federal revenues, the tax rate could increase by about eight-tenths of a mill and cuts could include laying off police officers, shutting down the senior center, closing a fire station and cutting in half funding for the Public Library and the Parks & Recreation Department.
"This is learning to live with a new economic reality,'' Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said Monday night as he presented the budget and his 2013 State of the City Address at City Hall.
The City Council will review the proposed budget during Finance Committee meetings scheduled for 4:30 p.m. April 8 and April 10 and 5 p.m. April 11.
"The City Council is going to have a significant role in this budget and we'll spend weeks going over it,'' Councilor Adam Sprecace said later in the evening.
If the budget is approved as presented, the tax rate would increase by 0.82 mill, from 26.6 mills to 27.42 mills. A property owner with property assessed at $100,000, which is 70 percent of the fair market value, would pay about $80 a year more in new taxes.
"This is not a budget that can avoid a tax increase,'' Finizio said. "Revenue losses and mandatory cost drivers present a situation that we simply cannot completely cut our way out of."
The $81 million budget for 2013-14 represents $40.2 million for general government and $40.8 million for the Board of Education.
The general government proposal is 2.6 percent less than the current year's budget of $41.3 million.
The school board has requested a 2.5 percent increase over the current year's budget of $39.8 million, or $997,261. The extra money would be spent on 1 percent raises for teachers, administrators and custodians, and the hiring of five new teachers in the elementary schools and a guidance counselor at the middle school.
Finizio said he supports the increase in school spending.
The governor's budget proposal includes a drop of $1.1 million in aid to the city. Another roughly $1.4 million in Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan grants would be transferred to the Local Capital Improvement Program called LOCIP. LOCIP funds will be disbursed at the request of the city for specific projects. In the past, the Pequot and Mohegan money was spent at the discretion of the city.
Finizio is proposing a $1.4 million cut in the police budget, which could include layoffs; a $500,000 cut to the fire department, which could mean closing a fire station and not filling the deputy chief position; and a $500,000 cut to the Public Works Department, which could mean layoffs and privatization of trash collection.
Another $750,000 could be saved by eliminating the Senior Center, closing the Martin Center and cutting in half funding to the Public Library and the Parks & Recreation Department.
Finizio said Parks & Recreation would be revamped to operate like a community organizing entity, assisting nonprofits and other groups in providing recreation services without a direct cost to taxpayers.
But the mayor also pledged not to "leave our young people and our seniors behind."
He said he would to continue to work with the state to improve schools, help build a community center at no cost to taxpayers, and regionalize operations such as the animal shelter, emergency dispatching and senior services.

Never miss another 'The Fall' show
The Fall
Seminal '70s post-punk band formed in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, led by the inimitable Mark E Smith. Of all the late-'70s punk and post-punk bands, none are longer-lived or more prolific than The Fall, having been known to always push boundaries, and never afraid to experiment.
Famously described as 'always different, always the same' by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, they have maintained their cult status over the decades with an ever-evolving style that still maintains a foundation of jagged guitars, sing-speak vocals, and keyboards to create experimental, abrasive and dense musical cacophony.
The Fall tour dates
Five-piece guitar band hailing from Bristol with a punk ethic that transfers itself into their incendiary live shows.

Chest Pain
What causes chest pain?
Chest pain can be caused by a range of conditions, from not serious to life-threatening. It may be caused by a heart attack or a blood clot in your lungs. Sometimes chest pain or pressure is caused by poor blood flow to your heart (angina). Infection, inflammation, or a fracture in the bones or cartilage in your chest can cause pain or discomfort. Chest pain can also be a symptom of a digestive problem, such as acid reflux or a stomach ulcer. An anxiety attack or a strong emotion such as anger can also cause chest pain.
What other symptoms might I have with chest pain?
- Fever or sweating
- Nausea or vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Discomfort or pressure that spreads from your chest to your back, jaw, or arm
- A racing or slow heartbeat
- Feeling weak, tired, or faint
- A burning feeling behind your breastbone
How is the cause of chest pain diagnosed?
Your healthcare provider will examine you. Describe your chest pain in as much detail as possible. Tell him where your pain is and when it began. Tell him if you notice anything that makes the pain worse or better. Tell him if it is constant or comes and goes. Your healthcare provider will ask what medicines you use and if you have other medical conditions. You may also need any of the following tests:
- An EKG is a test that records your heart's electrical activity.
- Blood tests check for heart damage and signs of a heart attack.
- An echocardiogram uses sound waves to see if blood is flowing normally through your heart.
- An x-ray, CT, or MRI scan may show the cause of your chest pain. You may be given contrast liquid to help your heart show up better in the pictures. Tell the healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to contrast liquid. Do not enter the MRI room with anything metal. Metal can cause serious injury. Tell the healthcare provider if you have any metal in or on your body.
How is chest pain treated?
Your healthcare provider will treat your symptoms while he finds the cause of your chest pain. You may be given medicine to treat or prevent a blood clot, maintain blood flow to your heart, or decrease pain. You may be referred to a specialist, such as a cardiologist or gastroenterologist.
Call 911 if:
- You have any of the following signs of a heart attack:
- Squeezing, pressure, or pain in your chest that lasts longer than 5 minutes or returns
- Discomfort or pain in your back, neck, jaw, stomach, or arm
- Trouble breathing
- Nausea or vomiting
- Lightheadedness or a sudden cold sweat, especially with chest pain or trouble breathing
When should I seek immediate care?
- You have chest discomfort that gets worse, even with medicine.
- You cough or vomit blood.
- Your bowel movements are black or bloody.
- You cannot stop vomiting, or it hurts to swallow.
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.

CT scanners have been around for years. They help doctors get a clear look at a patient's vital organs without operating, but the latest version of scanning technology makes the others seem almost old- fashioned.
When Marsha Van Nuys goes out to eat, she orders with great care. She's had high blood pressure for years, but her last visit to the doctor revealed something new.
"I went to my physician for my normal three-month blood work, and he discovered an irregular heartbeat. I went, 'Uh oh!' says Marsha.
When initial tests offered no explanation, Dr. Daniel Berman recommended a mouthful of technology, an angiogram, using electron beam tomography. It's similar to a standard CT scan, but with one crucial difference.
"With either of these techniques, it's possible to get images quite fast, but you can get them about 10 times faster with the electron beam approach than you can with the conventional approach," Dr. Berman says.
The electron beam is so fast, it can render images of a human heart, even as it beats.
In Marsha's case, the angiogram revealed a 50 percent blockage in two arteries. She was put on medication, kept a close watch on her diet, and started exercising. She says she's never felt better.

Very few TV series emerge fully-formed. Most shows take at least a season to figure themselves and their characters out, or to course-correct after a rocky beginning. Often by Season 2, a series—like FX's The Bridge or ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.—can finally complete its necessary adjustments and become the outstanding show it was always meant to be.Read More

HBO Go has finally done what subscribers have been begging for since the announcement of the streaming service: it's going cable-sub-free. The over-the-top streaming network will be available without a cable package starting next year, HBO CEO Richard Plepler announced at Time Warner's investor day on Wednesday morning. This has been in the air for a while—HBO Go has been available on progressively smaller and smaller cable pacakges over recent months, but never totally subscription-free. But there's a fairly large burden of proof on Time Warner today, as it fends off angry stakeholders still sore over the company's rejection of 21st Century Fox's $85-a-share offer for the company (the stock sits at $71.85 at the time of this writing, down from a high of $87 and change just before the Fox deal collapsed). The goal today is to give investors a sense that the company has strong growth prospects without consolidation; HBO remains the companys most lucrative single asset outside its movie studio division and is a point of focus during the proceedings; also at issue (though less pleasant for Time Warner) is the problem of declining ratings at Turner. The subdivision is in the midst of a major round of layoffs during which 10 percent of its workforce is expected to leave. "It is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO, " Plepler told investors. "So, in 2015, we will launch a stand-alone, over-the-top, HBO service in the United States. We will work with our current partners, and we will explore models with new partners. All in all, there are 80 million homes that do not have HBO and we will use all means at our disposal to go after them." Much of this territory has been colonized by Netflix and it remains to be seen whether people will want another streaming service on top of their current offerings; but HBO Go has been very popular and is frequently spread across users without cable subs through password sharing. This gives HBO a chance to monetize some of that spread, and to clamp down on pirates while providing an alternativeRead More
Contrary to what broadcast television's fall schedules might suggest, the revamped trend of using comicbooks as source material for TV shows has been hot for a while — even if the brains behind the networks' programming slates have a hard time remembering that.

Rejoice, Friends enthusiasts! Your dream of sipping coffee at the iconic Central Perk will soon become a reality. It's been 20 years since Ross, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler and Rachel first graced our TV screens, and the love for the gang remains strong, if all of the people on my Facebook feed are to be trusted. To celebrate two decades of shouting "Pivot!" every time a friend announces he's moving, Warner Bros. Television Group, Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Eight O'Clock Coffee are partnering to create a Central Perk pop-up in Manhattan. It'll be short-lived—the shop, created with help from agency Source Marketing, will open Sept. 17 at the corner of Lafayette and Broome Streets, and close Oct. 18—but fans can hang out on the weird orange couch, listen to a rendition of Smelly Cat, see some special guests (Gunther will be there) and maybe, I don't know, try to figure out how Rachel afforded to live in a sprawling Manhattan apartment on a barista's salary. It's a brilliant partnership for Eight O'Clock, which will also be adding a special Central Perk blend to its coffee line next month, if you want to K-Cup your way to a Friends-in-your-travel-mug experience.Read More
Atlanta Falcons CMO Jim Smith is rewarding loyal season ticket holders with the kind of stadium "memories" they can't get from watching on TV at home. For the second year, Smith is offering season-long fans game-day "experiences" such as a visit from team cheerleaders to their seat. Or a spot on the field during player introductions at the Georgia Dome. Illustration: Kyle Fewell It's not like some drunk up in the nosebleed seats can simply request a cheerleader like he's ordering a beer. Using the free Experience app , season ticket holders must redeem "memory points" on the Thursday before a home game. Security guards are on hand just in case—but are rarely needed. "We never put our cheerleaders in danger. That sensational crap is so unfair to the cheerleaders—and the fans who request it," says Smith, who adds that most of the visits are ordered by parents for their cheerleader daughters. "It's truly about an experience that a parent, or a bunch of friends, want to have." So goes the NFL's marketing game plan to get its fans off the couch—and back into stadiums. High ticket prices, personal seat licenses (PSLs) and rowdy fans have led some die-hards to give up live games in favor of watching for free from home. The $10 billion league wants these couch potatoes back. And it wants season ticket holders—the lifeblood of the league—to keep coming, explains Brian Lafemina, the NFL's svp of club business development. The league and its 32 franchises are pushing the marketing envelope to do it. The NFL is in some ways a victim of its own success and innovation. As its TV networks add more coverage, more camera angles and more replays, the gap between the at-home and in-stadium viewing experiences has grown wider. Throw in the two RedZone Channels (which whip viewers around to potential scoring plays) offered by the league and DirecTV, and it's a wonder fantasy players and bettors ever leave the Barcalounger. "TV has fundamentally changed the way people watch our game—and that's a great thing," says Lafemina. "We have to do the same inside the stadium.Read More

I arrive late to the Germany-Brazil World Cup game on the assumption that I have plenty of time before the match really heats up. This turns out to be completely wrong, and I've in fact arrived amid the most tweeted single sports game—of any kind, ever. "Our banked Brazil content will probably not be seeing the light of day," Bryan McAleer, ESPN's associate manager of social media, says ruefully as soon as he's done shaking my hand and introducing himself. He's an energetic guy, upbeat and attentive, with long reddish hair and a thick beard. A few of the others sitting close by—clean-shaven, friendly guys with short hair—say hello, too. There is John Twomey, associate manager of social media, Tomas Ferraro, marketing coordinator, and Brendan Gillen, marketing manager. If any of them is a day over 28, it would be a surprise to me. McAleer, himself a senior director of sports marketing, is pacing back and forth between ends of the table, soliciting opinions and offering feedbackRead More

Johnson: After I'm Done, Fury Will Want To Retire
London - TOUGH American Kevin Johnson says former World heavyweight champion Larry Holmes will inspire him to defeat Tyson Fury in their 12-round showdown at Belfast's Odyssey Arena on December 1st.
Thirty-three-year-old Johnson started his professional career with the legendary heavyweight and is confident that the knowledge he gained from Holmes will give him the advantage over unbeaten Fury on the Channel 5 televised battle.
Johnson has already proved his world class when he went the distance with WBC World heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko in 2009 and insists that his all round experience will be too much for 24-year-old World title prospect Fury.
Johnson commented: "I learned from the best working with Larry Holmes at the start of my career. He's a boxing legend and he taught me everything I know – he taught me all the things that Fury wishes he knew.
"It was a real boxing education working with Larry, he did it all in the ring. So I know that I have the tools to beat Fury, no doubt.
"I'll beat Fury so bad he'll want to retire, everyone will see that on December 1 in Belfast. Fury's just not in my class."
Johnson is determined to get back on the road to another World title fight and that is why he has taken the opportunity of facing Fury in Belfast.
"I have learned a lot from the Klitschko fight, there were mistakes I made in that fight but I am the better man for it and I will get another world title fight. When I beat Fury that should put me back in the frame for another world title shot.
"I've been like a lot of American fighters recently who have been on the outside of the world heavyweight scene but when I beat Fury that will change.
"Fury's a good fighter, he's done well but I'll take him to school in Belfast."
I would love it if Fury wins this bout handily bit I just have this feeling that Johnson schools him.Comment by Wesker115 on 11-21-2012
What did Holmes tell him? "I know this game, you got to listen to me!" "Southpaws ain't got no chins" :lol: Johnson is a lazy waste of talent. Hopefully Fury retires him.Comment by P4P_No1 on 11-21-2012
[QUOTE=Earl Hickey;12721113]Johnson has never even been down and he went 12 with Vitali, i can't see Fury stopping him in all truth Also why would you piss yourself? [B]it's not like its a cherry pick, this is a tough fight,…Comment by IIG on 11-21-2012
His pathetic showing at Prizefighter revealed that his performance against Klitschko wasn't just bad because Vitali is so good. Kevin Johnson just sucks as a fighter. Fury will have his way with him.Comment by Tyrone Biggums! on 11-21-2012
[QUOTE=P4P_No1;12721109]I would piss myself if Johnson won but I can't see it. Fury will have too much for him & will stop him.[/QUOTE] Johnson has never even been down and he went 12 with Vitali, i can't see Fury stopping…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (9)

It seems something of a shame that Olympus' hand may be forced to quit the DSLR market in the near future and concentrate on the burgeoning compact system camera market instead. But, with such great success with its Pen range, including the E-PL2 which we hope to be able to bring you a review of in due course, and massive competition at the high-end of the market from Canon, Nikon and Sony, it's certainly a sensible business decision.
Ultimately, though, if this is the company's last DSLR outing, at least it has saved the best until last. It's well built, easy to use and can produce some great results. Unfortunately, that's the bare minimum for a high-end DSLR and while there are still plenty of lenses and attachments for the Four Thirds system, we couldn't in all conscience recommend the E-5 as a system camera you might want to get into from scratch - at least not at its £1,500 launch price. There are simply better options for around £1,000, the Canon 60D and Nikon D7000 both being obvious examples.
If, however, you're already furnished with a host of compatible lenses and accessories, the E-5 will undoubtedly be a welcome upgrade just as soon as the price drops a bit.

Michael Jackson lives on through Cirque du Soleil Vegas touring show
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The music and dance of the King of Pop is coming to Sin City.
The "Michael Jackson, The Immortal World Tour" is scheduled to stop at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in December.
Cirque du Soleil president Daniel Lamarre will discuss the $57 million show during a press event in Las Vegas Wednesday.
The tour will kick off in Montreal in October and hit 30 cities including New York, Miami, Philadelphia and Los Angeles before stopping in Las Vegas.
Excerpts from Jackson's music videos will be part of the 90-minute show, but no performer will represent Jackson specifically. Word of the show broke in November.
"Immortal" will also feature as-yet-unreleased songs that Jackson had finished before his death in 2009.
A separate permanent production is expected to open next year at Mandalay Bay.

Dear Mr. ####,
Thank you for contacting the Avis E-mail Customer Service team.
We extend our most sincere apologies for any inconvenience you have been
caused, and we are sorry to learn your recent experience with Avis has
not met the usual high standards our customers have come to expect and
We are disappointed that you feel the optional coverages/services were
not properly explained at the time of rental. Avis Customer Service is
not privy to the conversations that took place at the rental facility.
Our decisions are based on experience and the facts at hand. The signed
copy of your rental contract shows LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) coverage,
PAI (Personal Accident Insurance), PEP (Personal Effects Protection),
ALI (Additional Liability Insurance) and the PGO (Prepaid Gas Option)
was clearly noted as "Accepted" and the individual per day cost is also
outlined on the rental contract. Your signature appears in acceptance of
these options and additional cost. I have attached a signed copy of the
contract for your records.
We understand that when traveling often times our renters are in a hurry
to begin their trip, they may be experiencing fatigue due to long flight
times, or they are rushed to make a business meeting. Although we
realize standing at a rental car counter is not how many renters
envision beginning their travels, we strongly encourage each and every
customer to review their contract, ask for clarification if necessary
and thoroughly understand what they are signing for. We encourage this
in order to avoid situations such as the one you have encountered.
Mr. ####. your contract clearly shows your signature in acceptance of
these items and your vehicle is covered during your entire rental
period. At this time we find that no additional adjustments are owed.
We regret that we are unable to offer a more favorable response and we
trust this offer of compensation meets with your approval. Should you
require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Avis sincerely appreciates the business you have given us, and we look
forward to serving you again soon.
Amy Gibson

First when I got there they tried to give me a 2 door when I refused
then they said that It would cost me more for a 4 door upgrade then I
refused and
Then magically had my 4 door make a model just came in. as far as the
car I have no complaints . and the manager clearly told me that I
should of looked at the contract better . and I agree but to make the
amount come out to exact same as what it is in usd to fool you is crap.
She told me 400 dollars verbally and then said it would be a extra 50
buck for a full tank of fuel so when I looked at the agreement all I
saw was the 450 I owed. It was pounds instead of dollars. when I
handed the car back in and complain about the trickery he said I asked
for all the extra insurance . first I heard of it .. I thought I had
took out all the extra insurance stated in my reservation. Nothing
extra was offered or explained to me. Then it took 2 weeks for you
To process the amount you took from my credit card. Which seemed shady
to me called you customer service and you kept giving me the run around
telling me that we have already processed you payment and its paid in
full called the credit card company stated you havent sent anything
thru yet amazingly 2 1/2 weeks later it was deducted.
This was in no way a seamless or pleasant experience.
You may feel assured that as soon as this information is received, we
will give the matter our immediate attention.
Kind Regards,
Customer Service Representative

Hillary Clinton in Ohio: No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin
Hammering "failed Republican economic policies," Sen. Hillary Clinton rallied 1,000 cheering residents of Lorain County to go all out to elect Barack Obama president. Speaking in the packed lobby of Lorain Community College here, Clinton charged that Ohio has lost 200,000 manufacturing jobs since George W. Bush took office. With unemployment at a five-year high of 8.2 percent, Lorain County has been particularly hard hit.

Roach: I'll Pay Pacquiao To Drop Sparmates on Their Ass!
By Michael Marley
Coach Freddie Roach was in an ebullient mood at Wednesday's Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao press conference at the sparkling Edison Ballroom off Times Square.
This was, of course, before the bad news emanated from Las Vegas that troubled Roach pupil Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was nabbed by the Nevada boxing board on a drug test which detected marijuana in his system when he fought and lost to middleweight king Sergio Martinez on Sept. 15.
I asked Roach, recently cut loose by Amir Khan I guess for not having cement transplanted into the British boxer's fragile chin, how plausible it is to say that Pacman can KO the masterful counterpuncher Marquez when they start Round 37 through a possible Round 48 come Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.
History tells us Pacquiao has not been a potent puncher since 2009, a year in which he blasted out Ricky Hatton in two rounds and stopped durable Miguel Cotto in 12.
In route-going bouts against Joshua Clottery, Antonio Margarito, Juan Ma and Timothy Bradley, Pacquiao's power seemed to be excruciatingly absent.
I was, I told Fly Fly Freddie, a doubter as to any outcome except JMM and MP battling for yet another 36 minute bout.
"Remember when I was paying a bounty, giving bonuses to sparring partners, if they could knock Manny down?" Roach said, smiling brightly. "Well, this camp I will pull a switch. I will offer Manny $1,000 out of my own pocket every time he knocks a sparmate on his ass. Maybe that will liven up our training."
In a more serious vein, Roach believes having the entire camp held at his Wild Card Gym in Hollywood and not beginning it in Baguio will be beneficial for Pacquiao.
How about you promise him he can beat ally eh women he wants afterwards and steal their phones?Comment by Lac'em up on 09-21-2012
Roach is a retard, I think he forgets that Manny is in charge. Roach is over rated as a trainer In my opinion. He hasn't made Manny a better fighter at all. The only thing Manny has improved on is…Comment by Mr. Philadel on 09-21-2012

This is exactly the thing i needed. It works great and is easy to adapt.
I have set a slider on the homepage of my site http://www.thedeadmaggies.com and have set effect="fade" wanting all images to simply fade into one another. However the 3rd or 4th image of any slider I make always stretches down (out of the dimension constraints and out of scale) and I can't seem to stop it.
I have tried reordering images in the gallery, and have tried using code effect="fade,fade,fade,fade,fade" etc. but this hasn't fixed it.
Not sure if this could be a bug? Or if there's something more I could do (am defininately not a coder of any sort).
It's a real small issue in an otherwise great thing. But it does make my site less pro than I'd like. So any help appreciated.
Full code is -
[ngg-nivoslider effect="fade" gallery="5" pausetime="3500" width="1000" order="sortorder" height="420" resize="2" animspeed="600" directionnav="false" controlnav="false" center="1" pauseOnHover="false"]

The bed was comfortable; the staff very friendly, a nice bar in the hotel; good parking close to our room; inexpensive and tasty breakfast (try the cranberry nut french toast); decent wi-fi (put your phone close to the window for most bars).
Conveniently located. Clean, updataed accommodations. Room was comfortable with nice amenities.
Clean room and pleasant and helpful staff. Hotel was quiet and I slept well.
The rooms were clean and they had warm breakfast
The room was clean and we'll appointed
Doors slamming at 10:00 Pm, breakfast ranks below fast food.
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The facilities were clean although basic. The hotel was quiet. There is a large green space behind the building which was very helpful as we had our dogs with us.
Very basic. Room was a bit small.
This is our second stay there and it is always a great experience.
The pool, whirlpool, staff, room, cleanliness. You name it we loved it. Great value to boot. The lobby has a computer with internet, but it is slow.
No clock, soap was broke in small pieces, no breakfast. While it looked "clean" I was not comfortable and didn't want to touch anything. The wall switches in the bathroom looked like they were going to fall off. Walls were patched. The hook on the bathroom door was being held by 1/2 screw. The motel had the feel like it was going to close the next day. I will not be back to any Motel 6.
Very Friendly Staff..

What a delight to be able to see England for the first time from the perspective of Little Bucksteep. The setting is so relaxing, beautiful and so easy on the eyes and ears. I have enjoyed listening to the birds waking up in the morning and closing down the day. A more relaxing outing I can't imagine than the time spent in the cottage with friends I love. DM, Texas, April 11
What a wonderful house! Beautifully stocked, extremely comfortable and glorious gardens. T,J&I, London, April 11

We have been running the Oast as a self catering holiday cottage for 6 years now. We do everything we can to make your stay as comfortable as we can, we are here to help, but equally we want guests to have their privacy.
Owner purchased this cottage in 2008
Close to airports, ferries and London. Set in beautiful countryside, with lovely old pubs. Very generous use of private pool and tennis court. Bikes for hire on the property. Glyndebourne is close by with world class opera. Beautiful gardens abide in this part of Sussex. If the pool becomes dull, the beach is within an hours drive too.
Short breaks are available outside high season times.
The Oast is special because it is old and beautiful and we have tried to furnish it in character with lovely old pieces, together with beautiful Egyptian cotton bed linen. The open plan dining room/ kitchen is a lovely large sunny room and flooded with light. Guests have very generous use of a private swimming pool. The huge 4 poster bed in the top roundel bedroom is a gorgeous luxury. There is a large gas fired BBQ for alfresco dining, and a wood burning stove in the sitting room for cooler nights. The Oast is full of character with beautiful old beams, and gorgeous views of the garden, particularly lovely in spring with daffodils and summer with flowers and roses.
We also offer luxury pampering weekends which incorporate fantastic Lotte Berk ballet barre exercise classes, together with massage and beauty treatments.
4 bicycles on the property which guests may rent during their stay.
Thank you for a lovely stay, for tasting the fruit from the garden and the artichokes, and the warm welcome and your sweet pets.
We have just returned from a weeks stay at Little Bucksteep Oast House. Fiona was an incredibly gracious host and greeted us upon arrival with a warm smile.
Once inside the Oast we saw a lovely welcome basket of assorted local items, a very lovely personal touch. would most definitely recommend the property to other families. We all enjoyed the use of the pool and tennis courts throughout the day and enjoyed the surroundings each evening. We all loved the visits from the two dogs and they became welcome guests. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We all had a great time at Little Bucksteep Oast. The location is very good for visiting the many attractions that East Sussex and Kent have to offer. Brighton, Lewes, Hastings, Battle, Rye, Camber sands and many more are within easy reach from LBO and yet LBO is in a very peaceful location. LBO is surrounded by beautiful gardens which are in themselves set in rural surroundings. The property itself is a converted oast mostly dating back several hundred years however it has a modern feel to it. Two of the three bedrooms are located in the 'oast'. One is a double in a very generously sized room and the other is located upstairs towards the top of the oast and contains the most enormous 4 poster bed I have ever seen! It felt as though I needed to text my wife to check to see if she was in the other side of the bed! I would however like to point out that in my 30 years of marriage holiday beds have tended to be a bit of a let down in terms of comfort on my wife's part. Not this bed at LBO! 'One of the most comfortable ever' according to my dearly beloved! The third bedroom is located off a landing as you go up to the top bedroom. This is a delightful twin (+1) room which floods with light from 3 windows.
Back downstairs there is a large sitting room in the main part of the old oast. This is complete with log burner and I would think would be al lovely cosy room on a cold evening (we were blessed by good weather so didn't have the need to test this out!). Past the lounge there is a really good shower room (upstairs there is a modern bathroom with shower over bath) and a utility area with washing machine. This then leads through into a great kitchen/ dining/living space where we spent most of our evening time (when not outdoors). This is a superb space for gathering to eat, talk, play games etc. The kitchen has everything you could need (including dishwasher!) and the dining table could easily seat 10 or more around it. The sitting area is comfortable and overlooks patio and gardens. Outside the 3 burner gas BBQ was well used (there is also a traditional Weber charcoal type of BBQ if this is your preference) and of course the tennis court and swimming pool. Overall a great time was had by all. Our group was 2 x 53yrs, 2 x 21 yrs and 2 x 18yrs but I would think all age ranges could enjoy a stay at LBO. Our only disappointment was that we could only be there for 1 week - you really need more!
PS Nearly forgot the 2 lovely Dalmations and the cat!
Two families with 3 kids had a really enjoyable and memorable time here at the Oasthouse. Despite the poor weather, kids loved the pool and tennis court, the house was quality throughout. Spacious and characterful, everything was provided for. Wifi and mobile access a bit patchy but ok. Lovely hosts. Thank you we felt right at home.
We enjoyed a great week in the oast house. Our adult children stayed over the weekend and enjoyed using the tennis court. Very spacious holiday property with lovely views, very comfortable four poster bed and well equipped kitchen. Very useful having 2 living areas so anyone not wanting to watch TV could escape into a different room. We had exceptionally good weather for early May and therefore managed to make use of the pool as well as the tennis courts, Had a very nice meal at the Horse and Groom, Rushlake Green and afternoon tea at Fir Trees Tea Room in Penshurst, near Tunbridge Wells. Appreciated the home made apple juice & jam in fridge on arrival plus other goodies left by Fiona & Robert for our arrival. I'd recommend it for families and groups of friends.
We stayed here for a week in late August and were very pleased. The Oast house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. We had our own garden, tennis court, and pool-though the weather didn't permit our taking full advantage on this stay. Our host, Fiona and Robert, were very welcoming-as we had shipped some specialty foods items in advance that awaited our arrival. Located in the beautiful East Sussex countryside it was initially a little difficult to locate, but after a quick phone call to our host redirected us to our comfortable vacation home.
Oast house is a charming old house with lots of space for a big family. The big beds in the oast house were the pleasure of the children. They felt like prince and princess.
We spent a lot of time on the tennis court and the pool, when the weather was good and luckily we had some very nice sunny days.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and the two dogs were a great pleasure to the children. They were always looking for them.
The kitchen is big and well equipped with all electrical appliances you need.
The surrounding area is lovely and peaceful with a lot of birds, sheep etc.
The beach is not far away and we had a lot of fun collecting piles of shells and stones in every shape and colour.
At Heathfield we found three groceries where we got everything what we needed.
It was a nice relaxing holiday that we enjoyed.

Dallington is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, close to the historic town of Battle, where the battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, as well as other historical attractions including Bodiam Castle, Herstmonceux Castle and Pevensey Castle. East Sussex has many beautiful gardens open to the public including Great Dixter, Michelham Priory, Merriments, Pashley Manor and Batemans. The countryside is breathtaking and marvellously unspoilt with rolling hills and lovely walks. The beach at Pevensey is close by, or Bexhill and the fishermans huts at Hastings, beautiful Rye or a little further away Winchelsea. Not far away are Glyndebourne, home of world famous opera, as well as the homes of the Bloomsbury set including Charlston, visit the lovely villages of Alfriston and Firle and walk along the South Downs. We have 4 bicycles which we rent to guests so they can enjoy the beautiful countryside as well as get fit/ work up a healthy appetite for a pub lunch in one of the lovely pubs nearby. Closer to us are the lovely local villages of Brightling, Robertsbridge and Burwash. Visit Lewes and try the famous Harveys bitter.

Organoclays for Wastewater Remediation
The organoclay project is new in my lab. We haven't published on it yet, but we recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to pursue lots of exciting work on it.
The basic idea is to better understand the chemistry governing the uptake of organic environmental contaminants, especially compounds that disrupt the hormone system of humans and wildlife, from wastewater by an engineered natural clay (an organoclay). Ultimately, the goal would be to use the organoclay as a purification filter, just like the activated carbon filters in your home Brita pitcher or in your fish tank. As is the case for activated carbon, this could be scaled up or down, as needed. The basic idea isn't new, but there's still a lot of chemistry about what works, what doesn't, and why that we don't understand.
Here's how I described the project to the NSF — students, if you are interested in working on this project, be in touch!
RUI: Elucidating interlayer chemistry for design of
novel, nontoxic organoclays for contaminant remediation
Contamination of environmental waters with organic chemicals poses a significant challenge to human and environmental health worldwide. Ubiquitous detection of industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, including endocrine disrupting chemicals, in treated wastewater receiving streams, groundwater, and drinking water wells reveals that conventional wastewater treatment processes do not fully remove these compounds. Increased industrialization, population growth, and often lax environmental regulations result in a global need to remediate chemical contamination, which is only magnified by ongoing challenges of freshwater scarcity, biodiversity loss, and climate change.
This project seeks to better understand the chemistry of surfactant-modified clay minerals (organoclays) and to improve their efficacy for removing organic contaminants from environmental waters. The PI will use multiple spectroscopic techniques (XRD, FTIR), sorption isotherms for select model contaminants, and additional characterization tools (TCN, GC/MS) to understand the variables that influence the chemical environment of the organoclay interlayer and, in turn, the magnitude of contaminant uptake into the clay. This understanding will enable the design of novel non-toxic organoclays. This project will enhance the fundamental understanding of the organoclay interlayer chemistry and our ability to control that chemistry to improve remediation of aqueous organic contaminants.
Using organoclays to remove organic contaminants from waste and environmental waters shows great promise as an effective and affordable approach. Montmorillonite clay modified with long-chain alkyl-ammonium cationic surfactants has been extensively studied and demonstrated to effectively sorb petroleum hydrocarbons, phenols, nitro- and chloro-substituted aromatics, PAHs and other organic pollutants from water. Although a good deal is known about the sorption mechanisms of contaminant uptake into the interlayer of organoclays, fundamental questions remain regarding the organoclay interlayer chemistry and how it can be used to optimize contaminant remediation. Moreover, the toxicity of conventional surfactants used in organoclays has not been addressed. This work will elucidate and apply critical organoclay chemistry to design effective, non-toxic organoclays that will help realize the potential of organoclays to promote human and environmental health.

The only thing I have considered is deleting his account and then having him sign up again, but I would rather not have to make him do anything.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!!

Well after seeing Jackson I'm pretty jealous. I know that a few of these types of guys were found last year in the mid rounds. Guys like Mike Wallace, Mike Thomas, and Johnny Knox. We need a guy like that who can stretch the field and run by people. At the same time it'd be pretty dumb for us to waste a 1st rounder on that type of guy and I don't think there are any in the top of the draft anyway. That said, maybe later on?
I know OTC has said he likes Marcus Easley as a reciever who had some good games. I'm looking at stats and this guy Tim Brown from Rutgers is only 5'8'' but he had a pretty good year, is he fast enough? Who are some other guys that can get open deep?
