Campaigners have handed a petition to the World Bank urging it to suspend funding for agricultural projects in Uzbekistan until Tashkent roots out forced labor in the cotton harvest.
A petition addressed to World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and signed by 140,000 people was delivered to the institution's Washington HQ on March 9, said the Cotton Campaign, a coalition of advocacy groups.
On the same day, one human rights group released a damning report documenting allegedly systematic use of forced labor during last year's cotton harvest.
"To harvest cotton, officials once again forced more than a million people, including students, teachers, doctors, nurses, and employees of government agencies and private businesses to the cotton fields, against their will and under threat of penalty, especially losing their jobs," the report by the Berlin-based Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights (UGF) stated.
The World Bank press office told EurasiaNet.org by e-mail that the organization "does not condone forced labor in any form and takes seriously the reports of such practices in the cotton production system of Uzbekistan."
"Over the past 2-3 years, the Bank has maintained an intensive dialogue with the Government of Uzbekistan on issues related to child and forced labor in the cotton sector. During this period, the authorities introduced changes to the national legal framework related to the protection of the rights of workers and the prohibitions on child and forced labor," the World Bank said.
The use of child labor in Uzbekistan's cotton harvest is becoming rarer, but there were indications that adults are being press-ganged into service this year, the World Bank has said in a report.
While offering hope of improvement, the report published on November 20 evinced disquiet about the harassment of independent harvest monitors — a sure indication authorities remain nervous about damage incurred to the country's cotton public image in recent years.
The findings were based on observations by the International Labor Organization (ILO), which was this year asked to broaden its remit by checking for signs of forced labor.
Claims that child labor is on the wane echoes conclusions from independent campaigners since 2012, when the government banned the practice following a punishing cotton boycott by leading western brands.
"Authorities have taken a range of measures to reduce the incidence of child labor and make it socially unacceptable," the World Bank said.
The assessment is broadly shared.
Apparent efforts by Uzbekistan to reduce reliance on underage workers prompted the U.S. State Department to promote Uzbekistan from Tier 3 to Tier 2 on its watch list in its 2015 Trafficking in Persons Report.
The burden of meeting harvest quotas has instead shifted to adults, who are often recruited against their will.
"Large numbers of citizens seem to be willing recruits and see the harvest as an opportunity. But organized recruitment of large numbers of people in such a short period of time carries certain risks linked to workers' rights, which need further work, and certain indicators of forced labor have been observed," the World Bank said.
A leading campaigner in the effort to document Uzbekistan's cotton harvest, which has been blighted by claims of rights abuses, has found his office destroyed by an unexplained fire.
Activists monitoring the harvest have faced an unprecedented wave of intimidation from authorities this year, despite mounting international scrutiny of the sector.
Dmitriy Tikhonov, who has reported cases of forced labor in cotton fields to international organizations, found his office in his home town, Angren, in charred ruins when he returned there on October 29, following an absence.
Files detailing the abuses he had documented were missing. Tikhonov did find a metal box container still intact in the ruins, but the hard drive that was stored inside had disappeared.
"The fire is a horrific escalation of the intimidation campaign against Dmitry and all Uzbek human rights defenders throughout 2015, aimed at preventing them from reporting on forced labor in the cotton sector," Umida Niyazova, director of the Berlin-based Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights, said in remarks quoted by the Cotton Campaign, an international advocacy group.
The fire appears to have taken place on October 20, which was the same day that Tikhonov was presented with criminal charges of disorderly conduct. The charges were brought after three members of a local neighborhood committee accused him of using foul language while asking them questions about cotton harvest mobilization.
Shifty U.S. envoys have been spotted lurking in the cotton fields of Uzbekistan digging for dirt on a competitor whose cheap crop could squeeze out America's own exports.
At least that's the yarn some media in Uzbekistan are spinning.
The U.S. Embassy has rubbished the claim.
In a report on October 16, website 12news.uz alleged that three suspicious elements were recently seen in the fields in Qashqadaryo Region, posing as journalists and officials from Uzbekistan's Foreign Ministry.
"The 'Uzbekistan Foreign Ministry staff and journalists' turned out to be diplomats from the US Embassy in Tashkent, who had specially gone to the remote region to find some kind of problems which it would be possible to trumpet to the entire word as 'the grossest cases of violations of human rights and restrictions on freedoms,'" the website wrote.
12news.uz speculated that the fact-finding team was motivated by a desire to thwart the rising sales of "comparatively cheap cotton from Uzbekistan" on world markets, which it said "in no way suits American farmers."
The embassy was categorical in its denial.
"The allegations in this story are inaccurate, and we strongly disagree with the characterizations contained in the article," spokeswoman Natella Svistunova told EurasiaNet.org by e-mail.
Pointing out that diplomats are free to travel under the Vienna Convention, Svistunova said embassy staff had traveled to various parts of Uzbekistan, carrying identification.
Svistunova said embassy staff "always correctly represent themselves, when asked."
One of the embassy's goals "is to better understand changing practices in Uzbekistan's cotton harvest," Svistunova said.
When it comes to human rights and Uzbekistan, the news is usually bad.
The U.S. State Department's 2015 Trafficking in Persons Report, published on July 27, does not buck that trend, but it is notable in recognizing what it says are efforts by Tashkent to reduce forced child labor.
That has prompted the American government to promote Uzbekistan from Tier 3 to Tier 2 on its watch list — a move that has stunned the Cotton Campaign advocacy group.
Cotton Campaign, which has as it aim the end of forced child and adult labor in Uzbekistan's cotton industry, says the upgrade lets Tashkent off the hook.
"The Uzbek government continues to operate one of the largest state-orchestrated systems of forced labor in the world," the group said in a statement.
Nadejda Ataeva, president at the Association for Human Rights in Central Asia, said in comments carried on the Cotton Campaign statement, that the United States "has effectively sent a message to Uzbek authorities that forced labor of millions of its citizens is cost-free."
The U.S. State Department paints a grim picture, but offers some ostensibly consolatory remarks in passing:
"Government-compelled forced labor of adults remains endemic during the annual cotton harvest. In 2014, despite a central government-decree banning all participation of those under age 18 in the cotton harvest, local officials mobilized children in some districts. In addition, across much of the country, third-year college and lyceum students continued to be mobilized, an unknown number of whom were not yet 18 years old."

In addition, across much of the country, third-year college and lyceum students continued to be mobilized, an unknown number of whom were not yet 18 years old."
Prominent human rights activist Elena Urlayeva was detained and abused by police while monitoring the Uzbek government's use of forced labor in its springtime cotton planting effort on May 31, she has told EurasiaNet.org.
Officers subjected Urlayeva, 58, to physical and sexual abuse during her 11 hours in police custody and confiscated a camera on which she had recorded evidence of forced labor, she said by telephone from Tashkent on June 3.
"With some other activists, I was conducting monitoring of forced labor involving medics, teachers, and public-sector workers," Urlayeva, who heads the Human Rights Alliance of Uzbekistan, explained.
The arrest took place when she was interviewing and photographing some doctors early in the morning on May 31 at a gathering point in the small town of Chinaz (60 kilometers southwest of Tashkent) from which the authorities were dispatching healthcare staff to the cotton fields.
When she refused to hand over her camera to officials, police took her to the precinct where "they started to use violence, they hit me on the head."
Urlayeva accused officers of subjecting her to vaginal and rectal internal examinations (claiming they were searching for a hidden USB flash drive) and other sexually humiliating procedures, including photographing her nude. She was released without charge.
She has filed complaints with the Interior Ministry, the prosecutor's office, and police authorities over her detention and treatment in custody.
Urlayeva said she believed her arrest "was an attempt to intimidate me … and to put a stop to my activity" monitoring the use of forced labor in Uzbekistan's cotton harvest.
The administration of strongman President Islam Karimov regularly comes under fire over the use of forced and child labor to reap the cash crop that fills up state coffers.
The World Bank has declined a request by human rights campaigners to investigate whether its agricultural projects contribute to the use of forced and child labor in Uzbekistan. Yet it has acknowledged that farms benefiting from its assistance might be forcing adults and children to work against their will.
There is a "residual possibility that there can be child and/or forced labor on farms receiving project support," the World Bank's Inspection Panel (which handles complaints about projects) said in a ruling delivered in December and approved by the board on January 23. "Hence, there was a plausibility that the project could contribute to perpetuating the harm of child and forced labor."
The oversight body declined to launch an official probe, however, on the grounds that measures are being taken to tackle forced and child labor in Uzbekistan.
"This decision calls into question the Inspection Panel's commitment to stand with communities to end abuse," said Jessica Evans of Human Rights Watch.
The ruling is "shocking," added Umida Niyazova, director of the Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights, in a statement e-mailed by the Cotton Campaign.
"To millions of victims of forced labor in Uzbekistan, the bank has said that despite recognizing the relationship between their plight and its loans, it is not worth investigating," Niyazova added. "Disturbingly, the bank's decision is also a message to the Uzbek government that it can continue its forced labor system."
Niyazova was one of the campaigners who asked for a probe in 2013, amid concerns that the World Bank's $108-billion Second Rural Enterprise Support Project was effectively contributing to government-sponsored forced and child labor.
Roughly one out of every five adults in Uzbekistan was coerced into picking cotton during the just-completed harvest season, according to a November 14 statement distributed by the Cotton Campaign, an activist coalition seeking to put an end to the government's use of forced labor.
Cotton Campaign researchers estimate that about 4 million adults, many of them state employees, were pressed into gathering cotton this harvest season in Uzbekistan. According to the CIA's most recent estimate, Uzbekistan has an overall population of almost 29 million, a quarter of which is under the age of 14. An additional 21 percent is between the ages of 15 and 24. Those estimates, along with the Cotton Campaign figure, would suggest that at least 20 percent of the over-18 population spent time in the cotton fields this fall against their will.
The Uzbek government has faced international condemnation for its widespread use of forced child labor in cotton harvesting. In recent years, however, authorities have shifted the burden, reducing the number of children compelled to leave school and pick cotton, and replacing them with fresh legions of adults.
"Reducing the number of children in the fields by forcing even more adults to work against their will is not sufficient. The government needs to dismantle the forced labor system," a Cotton Campaign statement quoted Umida Niyazova, the director of the Uzbek-German Forum for Human Rights, which prepared a preliminary report on the harvest.
Uzbekistan's practice of sending forced laborers to pick the cotton harvest causes a furor abroad every year. But now there are rumblings of discontent from within the country.
National University students have taken the unusual step of publicly complaining about being forced to help with the harvest, publishing an open letter to the prime minister and law-enforcement agencies on the Dunyo Uzbeklari (World of Uzbeks) opposition website.
Third-year male journalism students were ordered to the cotton fields by the rector and faculty deacon, says the letter. It is addressed to Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev; the prosecutor's office; the National Security Service (SNB); the Higher Education Ministry; and the university rector, Mirzo Mukhamedov.
"Surely the legislation of Uzbekistan does not mention the responsibility of students for taking part in the cotton harvest?" the outraged students (who remained anonymous, no doubt fearing repercussions) ask. "Of course not!"
Students who do not wish to pick cotton could cough up 300,000 sums to buy themselves out, the letter said. That is equivalent to around $125 at the official exchange rate, or two months' worth of a student's living grant.
Uzbekistan's cotton harvest relies on forced labor to help farmers meet government-set quotas.
In 2012, Tashkent – facing widespread international pressure over its widely documented use of child labor to harvest its main cash crop – moved to take younger children out of the cotton fields. However, human rights groups have reported that this merely shifted the burden of forced labor onto older children (including students) and adults. Tashkent denies using forced labor at all.
With the arrival of November, the serfs trickle home from Turkmenistan's cotton fields. But a culture of state employees being forced to labor in menial jobs continues throughout the year, says an annual monitoring report. As they wait for the fields to bloom again with "white gold," low-skilled municipal workers such as janitors and security guards are obliged to do free housekeeping for Turkmen bureaucrats, and to travel to faraway cities to participate in cleanups for the state, the report alleges.
Turkmenistan's Central Asian neighbor Uzbekistan is usually the focus of international flak for mobilizing its citizens – notably students – to harvest cotton each fall. But totalitarian Turkmenistan, which produces more cotton per person than Uzbekistan, is just as keen on exploiting its bloated public sector for field hands, according to the October 14 briefing, published by Alternative Turkmenistan News (ATN), a service run by Turkmen exiles who partner with Amnesty International and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee.
Drawing on domestic accounts, the second annual report provides an important insight into Turkmenistan's labor market. It pays particular attention to Turkmenistan's low-paid state employees who have limited means to defend their rights in a country where de facto unemployment is high and cowed government workers can be replaced easily.

Going to MACNA? An APEX user? Then head to APEXusers MACNA Meetup
July 23 2013, Brian Blank –
MACNA 2013 is right around the corner and this year is jammed full of things to do at and around the event. For example, Neptune Systems is holding an APEXusers MACNA Meetup to connect APEX users and the company to chat about all-things APEX. Even if you don't have an APEX, this is a great opportunity to meet fellow hobbyists and learn more about what the product can do.
The event will take place on Friday, August 30 at the Westin Diplomat (Room 307) from 8 a.m. to noon. Another good reason to get there is free OJ (this is Florida, right?) and Starbucks coffee. There will be two presentations by APEX uber-users and community ambassadors, a preview at the new stuff coming to the APEX and a Q&A with the Neptune Systems staff.
On top of all of this, one lucky attendee will win a full APEX System. Register online now and get there early to also receive two more tickets for the APEX raffle and a free t-shirt (just get there by 8:15 a.m.).
We really like seeing the additional events sprouting up around the show to help make the most out of the three days around the event. As more of these pop up, we'll make sure to share them with you all.

This is the only Mother's Day that I've ever wanted to spend on myself. I got a text message from MIL (whom I love very dearly) that really pissed me off. It's hard to read inflections in text messages. The text read: "I have pink summer dresses, but you guys have to come for mother's day to get them." WTF?!! I she trying to bribe us?!!
Mind you, we haven't yet discussed Mother's Day plans with her, but usually we drive the hour to go see her and go out to dinner to celebrate with her and great grandma. But this year, I'm feeling like I want to celebrate alone with my completed family. Is that selfish? I just feel like this is my last Mother's Day with a "new" baby and I want to cherish it. I want it all to myself. Not to mention how depressed I get whenever there's talk about going out to eat anywhere. This last fall, I went off dairy for Evie, completely. MIL lives in a small town and there are NO allergy friendly restaurants there, so it's anyone's guess if they have dairy free items or not. It's too stressful. And we took our 3 year old off dairy back then as well and going out to eat with him is hell cause he won't eat what I order for him and they ALWAYS give HIM the kids menu (not me) so he sees the pictures and... he just doesn't understand still.
Anyway.. just wanting to cry a little cause I feel like she's trying to steal my special day from me (even though she has no idea how I feel and was probably not intending to hurt my feelings in anyway.
Thanks for letting me vent.

In Arthur Miller's The Death of a Salesman, the salesman's wife says, "So, it was a dollar eighty". (Couldn't find page numbers. Please go to the sixth 'eighty'). If it means $1.80, I couldn't find any relation between what comes before and after it. What did I miss?
Yes, $1.80 is part of the $16.00, specifically the cost of the fan belt. As to "hope" and "wish"; "wish we didn't" would indicate something that happened in the past that is now regrettable. So I'm sure your thought is that since the purchase was in the past, that is when they got "stuck", so now they "wish" that hadn't have happened. But at the present time, they don't know if they were "stuck" or not, only the future will tell, so they "hope" that the future won't bring that knowledge. That is why "hope" is used. I have rewritten this three times and it still looks as clear as mud. I hope you can understand it.

First they have several fees related to working for them...
1. they have a mandatory workers comp insurance that casts $25 a week
2. They charge you a fee of $4 a truck you drive supposedly to cover insurance
3. you must pay for your mandatory DOT drug test
4. any truck you deliver that has fuel money added to your comdata card comes out of your pay
5. you must pay a $50 fee for the transporter plate they issue you
I worked for a little over 3 weeks in Fontana Ca ....my first paycheck was totaly eaten up by their fees my second paycheck was $162.30 out of almost $900.00 due me.
my final paycheck of over $500.00 still has not been processed..(well over a week since I quit) of the 7 guys I started with all 7 have quit...
one other thing..the so called chase car they have will leave you sit at your delivery point for hours at a time. Ensuring you only make one delivery a day...maybe 2 if you are lucky.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

I read the sticky topic, and tried some of the things mentioned, but I didn't figure it out. So when I try to create a post, there are those small buttons above for images, videos, music, etc. I'm under the impression that when I click on one, something should pop up, right? But when I click on it, nothing happens.
I read a few other topics, but I still couldn't figure it out. I tried updating to Flash 10, but that didn't work. I tried restarting Firefox a few times, but that didn't work. It never worked since started anyway. I also made sure the WYSIWYG button is unchecked in the user page. I read something on the codex that said I should change permissions of one of the folders. But the way it was written, it seemed really complex. Plus they said if you installed WordPress yourself (which I did), you shouldn't have to do that.
So anybody have any ideas I could try to get it to work?

I can devote my thousand words on how good this book has been to the culinary world, but most of you already know that. What I will do is to list all the reasons one may wish to read this book.
First, the book is simply interesting to amateur foodies and culinary professionals. This is the serendipity principle. If you prospect in a rich land, you will invariably find something of value. The `lore' in the subtitle is not an afterthought. The book includes history, linguistics and cooking practice in addition to simple science.Read more ›
I discovered the first edition about five years ago, and it permanently changed how I think about food and how I cook. Since then, I've seen many other chefs mention this book. For example, in Michael Ruhlman's book "The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at the Culinary Institute," CIA students often study this (unrequired) book to better understand what they're doing.
You should be aware that this book is more an encypclopedia than an a recipe book or a collection of essays. If you're looking for a fun discussion of food science, then Alton Brown's "I'm just here for the food" may be a better choice. If you're looking for recipes that are optimized by principles of food science, I'd recommend Shirley O. Corriher's "Cookwise." (Actually, I'd recommend both of those books anyway.) Some readers may find "On Food and Cooking" a little bit too dense and technical to read from cover to cover, but as a reference book, it's unmatched.
The second edition is a great improvement over the first, and I'd strongly recommend it not only to new readers but to anyone who read the first edition. (Just the new section on fish makes this book worth purchasing.Read more ›
McGee is truly a Renaissance man when it comes to food, and the book is packed with historical facts, literary anecdotes, and food legends passed down through the ages. For instance, when he talks about dairy products in the first chapter, he also brings up the domestication of the goat, the development of Parmesan, the history of ice cream and the best way to clarify butter. But his writing style is never contrived or pedantic and never gets in the way of the intriguing facts he brings to light. There are great illustrations and almost like a textbook, replete with easy-to-follow charts, graphs, and pictures, On the sidebars of each page, McGee shares insights from the likes of Brillat-Savarin, Plutarch and their culinary brethren along with ancient recipes for ash-roasted eggs, stuffed bonito with pennyroyal, and other delicacies. However, his focus is not purely historical, as he examines with great acuity, modern food production, current health risks and an easy-to-understand lesson on atoms, molecules, and the nature of energy. Rest assured that cooking basics are covered thoroughly.Read more ›

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Watch Pro Roller Skater Michelle Steilen Shred
The coolest use of roller skates in recent history.
Meet my new role model: Roller-derby superstar Michelle Steilen, a.k.a. Estrojen. Why? Well, just watch this video. Created as a commercial for skate company Bones Bearings, Steilen adds a "woman's touch" to some of L.A.'s sacred skateboard spots. In other words, she grinds, shreds, and falls (big-time). And yes, we're woman enough to profess awe at how hard she wipes out in those shorty-shorts.

For the first time since having this card I am late with my payment by two months. However at the end of May I will be caught back up and will be back on a regular payment schedule.
In April of this year I had to pay a high amount Federal taxes and felt it was best to take care of it first. I knew this would mean my other bills, including a second credit card company, would be late because to get caught back up everything had to be put off by one month.
My other creditors were fine with this because I sent to them what I could in April and when I could not I made the effort to double my payments to them during the month of May.
Emerge contacted me the other night asking why I was late. I told them the reason and said in a week and a half (which will be the end of May) I would be sending them the the two months payment and then be back on a regular payment schedule in June. The told me about the late fees and I said I understood but it could not be helped.
They have been calling ever since then to know when the payment is coming. I have sent them an email telling them the same thing I told the representative on the phone and I have also asked to stop calling because they are getting the payment.
The representatives are rude and I hate to say it because I normally am polite on the phone but I had to get rude back with the representative. They acted like they should be the person to be paid first regardless.
Once the card is paid off I am done with this company.
If you are thinking about getting a credit card stay away from Emerge.

Pete Correale and Marc probably didn't intend for their conversation to turn into an unabashed celebration of stand-up comedy, but that's what happened when these two comics sat down in the garage. They take a warts-and-all look at the profession they both love, including their feelings about life on the road, grinding it out in the clubs and watching other comedians work. This episode is sponsored by Zip Recruiter, 1-800 Flowers, Squarespace, and Adam & Eve.
Cindy Crawford was unquestionably the most famous model in the world during the 1990s. She survived and prospered far beyond the typical career duration of a model by determining early on that if the industry was going to use her, she needed to use it back. Cindy and Marc talk about the days when the Supermodel ruled the culture, the changes in her life since becoming a mother, and the shifting perceptions of middle age. This episode is sponsored by Warby Parker, Squarespace, 1-800 Flowers, and Casper.
Mike Binder's career evolved in unforeseen ways since he first started doing stand-up on TV when he was 18. After being a staple in the glory days of The Comedy Store, Mike tells Marc how doing comedy led to writing some early screenplays, which opened the door for him to become a full-time film director, TV show creator and thriller novelist. This episode is sponsored by Blue Apron, Adam and Eve, Stamps.com, and Squarespace.
Peter Guralnick's childhood love affair with the Blues led him on a life-long journey through the history of rock and roll. Peter shows Marc why he is considered one of American music's preeminent writers and historians, dropping knowledge about some of his most famous subjects, from Sam Cooke to Elvis Presley to Sam Phillips, the man who fundamentally changed music in the United States. This episode is sponsored by Zip Recruiter, Squarespace, and Audible.com.
Michael Moore says he's angrier than he's ever been about the state of things. But Marc senses something softer in Michael's personality these days.

This episode is sponsored by Chelsea Does on Netflix, Seeso, and Stamps.com.
Cultural critic and writer Cintra Wilson has always made Marc's head spin. She takes him back to her wild and woolly days in San Francisco and gets him up to speed on her most recent project, a cross-country exploration of American fashion.

This episode is sponsored by Idiotsitter on Comedy Central, HBONOW, Audible and Squarespace.
Crispin Glover knows you might think he's crazy. As he tells Marc, he sees madness as being good for art. They talk about what that perception has meant for his acting career, including the lawsuit that stemmed from Back to the Future and the roles he's taken in big budget movies like Charlie's Angels. Crispin also talks about the new film he's making with his father and his in-progress trilogy. This episode is sponsored by Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim, Squarespace, Audible and Stamps.com.

Then Charlie and Marc are joined by Duke Johnson, Charlie's co-director on his new film Anomalisa. This episode is sponsored by David Bowie's Blackstar, MeUndies, Seeso and Stamps.com.
Todd Haynes has been messing with Marc's mind for decades. Well, his films have.

Plus, Marc gives Sarah Silverman a call to congratulate her on her SAG Award nomination. This episode is sponsored by Colony on USA Network, Warby Parker, Squarespace, and Todd Margaret on IFC.

There's always a secretary that picks up to make the business seem legitimate ,but the person you want to talk to is never available with a rolling list or excuses.(on vacation, on brake, on the other line, the list keeps going). I was current on my payments when I was contacted by this company, and told that they would delay my payments until February( first payment made to them 11/8/2011 , second maid 12/8/2011 total $2530.00) .
Now two months later I'm receiving foreclosure notices everyday and can't even get a simple call back for peace of mind. I was also told I was preappoved for a modification by Fanny Mae/ Freddie Mac. I don't even think this is possible. these guys will promise you the moon to get your money, and then do nothing . Had I payed my mortgage company and not payed them i would not be in this situation. I give a fair opionon and will update on the situation if there is services rendered,but doubtful judging by the other complaints.
When I was finally contacted by the a manager aftter filing a complaint, he insulted me and my wife. My loan was not approved because we could not produce a copy of w-2 , even though we signed an IRS full disclosure of info for the tax years, including w-2 and1099s. My case worker is impossible to contact when needed to answer questions over the phone. When I questioned the manager that finally called me. I was given the excuse that "there not in the business of customer service. I would only rate our customer service as a 2". was his exact quote to me.( I think on a scale of 1-100, hundred being best)
He also now tells me the the best case scenario of a mortgage payment is $900 a month when I was told originally that the best case was $500 a month and worst case was $700 a month. He says they not obligated to put off my payments to my bank from November until February even though I was told by two different people before I sent them money that my payment would be put off. I'm now going to lose my house because I sent my mortgage payments to pay them instead of my mortgage, knowing I would not be able to continue making future payments.

The TC Electronic TC-Helicon VoiceTone R1 Pedal adds studio reverb polish to your live vocals by offering pro acoustic spaces from lush halls to tight ambience. The VoiceTone R1 brings studio reverberation to live performance, connects between your mic and mixer, offers a high quality signal path and tough enclosure, and can be chained to additional VoiceTone singles.
With reverb algorithms ported from TC-Heliconâ??s flagship VoicePro processor, VoiceTone R1 is capable of surrounding your voice in a warm ambience. Initial reflections, decay time and tail tone have been optimally balanced in the eight pre-set reverb styles so you can find the perfect sonic pillow for each song.
Gaining access to the studio quality sounds and intelligent processing of VoiceTone singles is as simple as plugging in your mic and turning the effect on. Of course, you can always change the style or the amount of effect, but you shouldnâ??t need to unfold the manual unless youâ??re making a fire.
Each VoiceTone single shares the same genes: a clean, quiet mic preamp that rivals high-end touring mixers, a die-cast metal case, rubberized no-slip base, studio quality analog to digital conversion, and the same quality processing youâ??d expect from TC's flagship vocal processors like VoiceLive 2.
The revolutionary and patent pending Mic Control circuit is built into each VoiceTone single pedal. This allows TC-Heliconâ??s MP-75 Modern Performance Vocal microphoneâ??s thumb switch to turn your VoiceTone singleâ??s effect on and off. Picture having the freedom to kick-in your vocal effect while working the stage, not gazing at your feet. It gets really cool when you chain multiple VoiceTone singles pedals together and control each one independently or turn them all on or off in combination.

This is a journey in music & cinema. The intention is to present a short segment as if it were excerpted from a larger work.
Here's what happened the day before:
I composed and recorded the music during February, 2011. The piano and accordion I performed/recorded on acoustic instruments, with Digital Performer. The voice-over & orchestral sounds I recorded via Logic Studio and the Garritan Professional Orchestra.
I shot the video over Christmas weekend, 2010, Canon 7D, Zacuto Z-Finder, EF 50mm, EFS 17-85mm, Manfrotto fluid head tripod.
Filmed in Ronda & Sevilla, Spain. My great new friends Tony Bishop and Eva Bratek drove me all over southeast Andalucía, and enabled me to get the lovely shots in Ronda - thank you forever!
POETRY: Federico García Lorca, from "El poeta pide a su amor que le escriba"

Caleb Vinson & I edited this monster: thank you so much pal, you are a my right hand man.
I hope you enjoy the journey.

Fine tubular fibers composed of C60 and C70 fullerene molecules were successfully fabricated by the liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation method. The walls of the tubular fibers were crystalline, and the fullerene molecules were densely packed along the growth axis of tube wall. The tubular structures are called "fullerene nanotubes." The inner diameter and the outer diameter of C70 tubes showed a linear relationship, suggesting a constant wall thickness of the tubes. The tubular structures composed of C70 molecules could be formed when their diameter was larger than about 240 nm. The fullerene tubes were successfully fabricated by using a C60-C70 soot as well. The formation of fullerene nanotubes can be understood by assuming a mechanism of core dissolution of the solvated fullerene nanowhiskers.

Compare quotes from BennettsGet a quote
Why choose Bennetts?
Bennetts is one of the biggest names in motorbike insurance and one of the brands you're most likely to be familiar with.
Bennetts has been around for more than 80 years and provides competitive insurance quotes to more than half of the UK's biking population every year.
Wide range of policies and cover
To do that, it needs a wide and varied range of insurance policies, covering all styles of bikes (from scooters to trail and enduro bikes) and a massive list of manufacturers, too.
It also provides specialist forms of insurance from its brokers, including multi-bike policies, cover for young riders and a full range of add-on options.
All in all it makes for a pretty comprehensive motorcycle insurance broker, so much so that it's the UK's number one bike insurance specialist.
And on The Bike Insurer you can compare quotes from more than 40 different insurance providers, including Bennetts, to see who can give you the cheapest price and the best policy.
Bennetts Additions
As well as standard Bennetts policy, the big name broker also has another product in the form of the Bennetts Additions brand.
If you see Bennetts Additions next to a standard quote from Bennetts when you compare motorbike insurance quotes, don't worry, they're the same company but offer slightly different policies.Close

Is there any ability within this plugin to do this? If not, can it be added?

Early this morning, I decided to check my checking account balance before going to make a deposit. I was shocked to find that my account was in the negative. I hadnt charged anything and had not authorized any checks or electronic withdrawals, so I knew right away that something was wrong.
I researched my account and determined that the reason for my negative balance was due to a check that cleared in the amount of $49.95. In addition, I was charged a $34.00 overdraft fee because I didnt have the funds available to cover that charge in my account.
I contacted my bank right away and I have been advised to go to my local branch and file a fraud report. I now have to go through the process of cancelling my direct deposit with my employer, cancelling this bank account, and opening a whole new one. Im upset and extremely outraged that a company could and would do such a thing. How is this even possible?
I researched the company name online and got a lot of hits saying that the company was a scam and the word fraud was everywhere. It looks like I am not alone in this. Please let me know if a lawsuit will be filed against them.

Avoid The Debt Trap provides you with the tools to avoid misleading and predatory practices by financial institutions and the knowledge you need to protect yourself, empowering students as financial consumers. This guide will help you understand and manage the basics of personal finance: banks, bank accounts, ATMs, bank fees, credit & debit cards, credit scores, budgeting, debt collection, ID theft, and financial privacy.
Universities and colleges across the country are taking steps to encourage their communities, students, faculty and staff to decrease their reliance on personal vehicles. These efforts are working well – saving money for universities, improving the quality of life in college towns, and giving today's students experience in living life without depending on a personal car.
The cost of college textbooks has skyrocketed in recent years. To students and families already struggling to afford high tuition and fees, an additional $1,200 per year on books and supplies can be the breaking point.
As publishers keep costs high by pumping out new editions and selling books bundled with software, students are forced to forgo book purchases or otherwise undermine their academic progress.
