He kept telling me he would be done in a week. He had every excuse even a death in the family. His story now is that he had to sue a lady he was working on her house and has drained his bank account. He told me he had to sell a lot he owned out of state. He has applied for loans with the bank and promises me he will finish my deck before spring. When Dan does call it is very early and always gets directly to my voicemail and never answers his home or cell phone.
Every message is about his hardship. And a promise to show up next week. Next week comes and goes with not a sight of Dan.
I was told the materials were ordered but then Dan did not have the balance so the lumber yard sold it. Hey Dan, that deposit is my hard earned money. I was recently told he had another $3000.00 down for deposit and is waiting for his loan. Hey Dan, why do you need a loan for my stuff, I gave you my money. Hey Dan, if you take peoples money and do the job you've contracted, you would have your money and I would have my deck. I have an unsafe situation in my yard. Dan has told me he has a house in Mexico worth $900.000.00 and a big house in Howell with a Mercedes, a big work truck and a chopper motorcycle. Hey Lawyers out there, this is an easy one. Help us out. I am a very compassionate person but Dan you are a lying creep.

When another Suzuki dealership looked at it, they told us that it had been wrecked before! Since our insurance determined that the fire may have been caused by previous damage (that we knew NOTHING about!), they told us to use the extended warranty coverage. That's when we found out that the policy had never been bought! Riverside had simply kept our money -- $1500! After many, many hours of research and dozens of phone calls, Suzuki was kind enough to give us the $800 wiring harness, but we were stuck with $1200 in labor charges to install it.
Riverside Mitsubishi is now out of business, the Attorney General is seeking charges in at least two states against them, I believe, but we're stuck with a wreck, a huge credit card debt, and an indescribable sense of violation though this victimization.

When a boxer reaches a certain plateau of greatness, comparisons with boxers from yesteryear fondly emerge.
For boxing writers, it gives us some sense of being. It helps to justify our place on the boxing landscape.
So, in this era, just as Jones Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Muhammad Ali were once compared to their predecessors, it is Manny Pacquiao that now takes the mantle of the contemporary fighter that deserves comparison with the fighters from yesteryear and whose names we utter like those of old Viking gods.
I have scoured the annals of boxing history in an attempt to find 10 fighters that fought at their prime between 135lbs and 147lbs—where Manny has begun and continues in his prime—and are capable of defeating the Filipino.
In this slideshow I compare and contrast each fighter's skills and traits before giving my analysis on how the two combatants' fight would unravel.

Another number to try ..you should always question the scruples of someone who hands you a Bible with one hand and takes your money with the other.
AUTHOR: Tim - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 17, 2004POSTED: Wednesday, November 17, 2004
I came across this number that you may want to try if you can't get ahold of him via the original number. I don't know where this will get you, but WhoIs lists this number as affiliated with christiandebt.net, the domain that Mr. McDevitt apparently uses to send massive amounts of spam. Here's the number: 954-296-6822.
A couple bits of general advice:
1) Stay away from debt counselling services. The vast majority of the people who use these services will end up in worse shape credit-wise than had they declared bankruptcy. There are other avenues to debt relief that work out far better for the consumer. These companies are often highly unscrupulous and, in many cases, never use your money to pay off your creditors.
Don't be fooled by non-profit status either. The profit status of a company says nothing about its value to the consumer or its ethics.
2) I would strongly advise staying away from any organization with the word "christian" in the name that promises help conditioned upon large payments. This advice holds especially true for debt counsellors.
I'm not at all trying to say that christians are bad people, quite the opposite. The reality, however, is that alot of scam outfits recognize that people will see the word "christian" and think that the outfit is trustworthy. There is no license required to act as though you are a man of God, and you should always question the scruples of someone who hands you a Bible with one hand and takes your money with the other. Especially when you found them via a spam email.
Good luck!

GOP touts 'getting back to basics'
Henderson County Convention features Lincoln, Reagan
Published: Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 at 7:58 p.m.
The annual Henderson County Republican Convention will take place Saturday at Apple Valley Middle School, focusing on "getting back to basics."
"We need to get back on track of our own principles, which are basically center-right conservative principles," said Henderson County GOP Chairman Mike Scruggs.
Doors open at 8 a.m. Saturday for the county's Republicans to register as delegates and attend precinct meetings that begin about 8:15. Anyone registered in Henderson County as a Republican as of the end of January is eligible to be a delegate or alternate.
The convention begins at 10 a.m. and will feature state Sen. Tom Apodaca, state Rep. Chuck McGrady and County Commissioner Tommy Thompson as speakers. Republican county officers will also be elected for two–year terms.
Announced candidates for office are Scruggs for chairman, Andrew Riddle for vice chairman, John Vice for secretary and Louis Lunardoni for treasurer.
The Lincoln-Reagan barbecue luncheon that follows the convention will feature two main speakers — state Republican Chairman and former Congressman Robin Hayes and Clemson University professor, political consultant and Ronald Reagan scholar David Woodard.
Woodard, an author who holds the Strom Thurmond Chair of Government at Clemson and is a political consultant to Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and several other Republican congressmen, will speak on Reagan.
Scruggs said many Republican county conventions around the state have changed their program from a Lincoln-only theme to Lincoln-Reagan because Reagan "best articulated" the kind of conservative principles the party needs to get back to.

No. 5 Wichita State beats Indiana State 68-48
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Indiana State is an experienced team led by veteran point guard Jake Odum.
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall jokes that Odum "is the straw that stirs the drink for them and has been since 2004."
But after No. 5 Wichita State humbled the Sycamores 68-48 on Saturday, Indiana State coach Greg Lansing admitted even his leaders might have been "served a lesson."
"Our guards are better than they showed today," Lansing said, "but that's as good a group of guards as there is in the country."
Two of those guards, Ron Baker with 16 points and Fred VanVleet with 15, helped Wichita State (19-0, 6-0) extend school records for winning streak and best start to a season.
Darius Carter and Chadrack Lufile both scored 10 points inside for Wichita State.
Dawon Cummings scored 19 points for Indiana State (14-4, 5-1). He was 7 of 14 from the field and the rest of the team was 9 of 37 (24.3 percent).
"I thought we were ready," Lansing said. "We were loose, maybe too loose. We know they're good. They could run the table and win a national championship. They are that good. But you have to rise to their level."
That didn't happen, mainly due to Wichita State's defense. The Sycamores entered the game leading the Missouri Valley at 76.7 points a game, but they were just 8 of 24 from the field in the first half for 22 points. Led by VanVleet's nine first-half points, Wichita State led 31-22 at halftime.
"We had good defensive intensity in the first half," VanVleet said. "But we wanted to even take it to another level."
They did.
VanVleet was the key to the start of the second half, driving for a left-handed layup and another point-blank jumper while being fouled. The three-point play gave Wichita State 36-22 lead with 17:16 to play.
Things got worse from there for the Sycamores. They missed their first 10 shots of the second half and committed six turnovers in the process.
"I'm very disappointed in how we let our missed shots and turnovers affect our defense and everything else," Lansing said. "It was almost like our guys knew they were beat and tried to get it over. If you're a competitor, that can't happen."
Wichita State kept adding to its lead all the while. Cleanthony Early scored four straight points, and Carter converted a finger roll before making a running hook that made it 47-24 with 12:32 remaining.
Indiana State finally made a shot 15 seconds later — allowing the sold-out crowd to sit and stop clapping continuously — when Justin Gant followed a Sycamores miss with a layup.
The Shockers' lead grew to as many as 28 — 61-33 — on a 3 by Baker with 8:47 left.
"That's a good team, a veteran team," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "To beat them by 20, you've done something."
Wichita State outrebounded Indiana State 44-30. The Shockers were 3 of 15 from the 3-point line but 21 of 41 inside it.
"To beat the No. 2 team in the league like that, it's a statement in itself," Baker said. "But we're the kind of team that's going to worry about the next game and getting better anyway."
At 19-0, Wichita State tied the 1962-63 Cincinnati team for second-best start for a Missouri Valley team. Both trail Indiana State in 1978-79, which did not lose until the national championship game.

Primal Breakfast Suggestions for People on the Go
The all-American breakfast smorgasbord: cold cereal of every variety (from super colon blow to candy coated balls of sugar in the shape of the latest cartoon fad), toast, toaster strudel, bagels, croissants, donuts, coffee cake, pop-tarts, French toast, pancakes, blintzes, crepes, waffles, muffins, scones, hash browns, oatmeal, breakfast bars, breakfast squares, and now even breakfast "cookies." (Do tell us what we're leaving out. We know there has to be something!) We swear you could set the list to that Billy Joel tune. There's a weekend challenge – anyone?
Whatever way you slice it, just reading the above list is enough to make your insulin rise. What is it about breakfast that is so darn carb-dependent? The most important meal of the day suddenly seems the most irksome, uninspiring, even ominous. You throw open the cabinets and fridge door on your way out, keys in hand. "What am I going to eat???"

text: Communication Theses and Dissertations http://hdl.handle.net/1903/2755 2016-08-28T14:51:48Z OVERCOMING INTERCULTURAL CHALLENGES IN INTERPRETING: A CASE STUDY ON CHINESE-ENGLISH CONFERENCE INTERPRETING http://hdl.handle.net/1903/18172 OVERCOMING INTERCULTURAL CHALLENGES IN INTERPRETING: A CASE STUDY ON CHINESE-ENGLISH CONFERENCE INTERPRETING Bourne, Jennifer Shuying This exploratory case study examines the role of culture in Chinese-English conference interpreting. Given that there has been a lack of empirical research in understanding the role of culture in conference interpreting through the lens of intercultural communication frameworks, we know relatively little about conference interpreters' experiences with intercultural communication challenges. This project helps address this research gap by investigating the types of intercultural communication challenges that Chinese-English conference interpreters experience and their strategies in managing those challenges. This study hears the voices of both professionals and postgraduate interpreting students. A total number of 27 participants were recruited for this research. Twenty professional conference interpreter were interviewed and seven interpreting students were organized for a focus group discussion. Grounded theory was used to analyze the participants' observations and strategies in managing intercultural communication challenges when doing Chinese-English conference interpreting. The data analysis process led to the emergence of two procedural guidelines and one process – Interpreters' Intercultural Mediation Process. The two procedural guidelines offer guidance for the interpreters to provide the most appropriate and effective service: meet with the clients beforehand and be prepared to offer intercultural insights when consulted. Interpreters are found to follow the Interpreters' Intercultural Mediation Process to decide when and how to mediate intercultural communication challenges at work. This Process includes four criteria, seven intercultural challenges, and seven coping strategies. This study offers theoretical and applied contributions to our understanding of the role of culture in interpreting. By jointly applying frameworks from intercultural communication and interpreting studies to examine the conference interpreting process, this case study makes great efforts to connect the field of intercultural communication with the field of interpreting studies. This study identifies the types of intercultural differences that would lead to challenges in Chinese-English conference interpreting. It also contributes to the call for a cultural turn in interpreting studies. By learning the two procedural guidelines, conference interpreters can be better prepared for their work. By following the Interpreters' Intercultural Mediation Process, conference interpreters can better anticipate and manage the intercultural challenges at work. This study also offers guidance on tailoring intercultural communication courses for postgraduate interpreting training programs. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z Explicating the Hostile Media Perception: How source credibility influences partisans' responses to balanced news coverage of health policies http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16179 Explicating the Hostile Media Perception: How source credibility influences partisans' responses to balanced news coverage of health policies Daily, Kelly This dissertation proposed that source credibility research provides explanations for why partisans, or people with extreme positions on an issue, see balanced news coverage as biased against their own position (i.e., exhibit hostile media perception). The effects of three dimensions of source credibility (trust, competence, and goodwill) were considered. Partisans were expected to see neutral news articles authored by untrustworthy sources and sources lacking in goodwill as biased against their position, and perceptions of bias were expected to be more intense if untrustworthy sources and sources lacking in goodwill were seen as competent. This dissertation also hypothesized that source credibility perceptions could account for prior research that finds partisans charge bias against neutral news content said to be authored by journalists (but not college students) and neutral news content said to be authored by outgroup (but not an ingroup) members. Three experiments in two health policy contexts (increasing taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and requiring the human papillomavirus [HPV] vaccine) were conducted. The results of the three experiments provide evidence that the influence of source credibility on hostile media perception is dependent upon (1) partisan position (i.e., supporters vs. opponents), (2) extremity of partisanship, and (3) health policy context. In the context of increasing taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, several hypotheses were supported. In Experiment 1, partisan supporters perceived news to be biased against their position when the source was said to be lacking in goodwill. In Experiment 2, source trust and competence were predictive of hostile media perception for more extreme partisan supporters. In Experiment 3, trust mediated the relationship between source group membership and hostile media perception for more extreme partisans. In the context of requiring the HPV vaccine, competence was a significant predictor of hostile media perception in Experiment 1 and a significant mediator in Experiment 2. Finally, distrust of journalists or sources is perhaps necessary, but not sufficient, for hostile media perception to manifest, and distrust may not serve as an explanation for bias in all circumstances. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and directions for future research related to source credibility and hostile media perception are discussed. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z An Analysis of Presidential Campaigns of Sitting and Former Vice Presidents: So Close and Yet so Far http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16005 An Analysis of Presidential Campaigns of Sitting and Former Vice Presidents: So Close and Yet so Far Mansharamani, Neil Hiro This study examines the presidential campaign communication of American sitting and former vice presidents. In recent history, four sitting U.S. vice presidents have run for president with only one (George H. W. Bush) succeeding. Three, Richard Nixon in 1960, Hubert Humphrey in 1968, and Albert Gore in 2000, lost close elections, with Nixon and Gore losing in very close and controversial contests. In the two cases of former vice presidents who ran for president, Nixon prevailed in 1968, whereas Walter Mondale failed in 1984. All of these candidates faced similar rhetorical problems attributable to their vice presidential status, particularly in defining their relationship with the president and their role in the administration. This study is a content analysis and historical analysis of campaign speeches, statements made during debates, and television advertisements by sitting and former vice presidents in the elections of 1960, 1968, 1984, 1988, and 2000. The purpose is to understand each vice president's discourse regarding both the president and the administration in which he served; and better appreciate how the inherent rhetorical situation that accompanies a superior-subordinate relationship is illustrated in these types of campaigns. Results showed that some vice presidents (e.g. Richard Nixon) chose to discuss their president/administration more often, while others chose to almost never discuss their president/administration (e.g. Al Gore). This analysis shows that when a vice president seeks election to the presidency, he has tended to pursue one or more of the following strategies: run on the administration's record; minimize the record and argue that if elected, he will produce better results; emphasize their own personal involvement and achievements in the administration; or mostly avoid discussing the president/administration. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z SCENE MATTERS: STRATEGIC USE OF SIMILARITY AND FRAMING IN NARRATIVE RISK COMMUNICATION http://hdl.handle.net/1903/16004 SCENE MATTERS: STRATEGIC USE OF SIMILARITY AND FRAMING IN NARRATIVE RISK COMMUNICATION Kirby-Straker, Rowena Rowie Jean-Louise Human health risks and environmental risks are different and are perceived differently; health risks primarily threaten human health, whereas environmental risks threaten both human and environmental health. Nonetheless people tend to view environmental risks as impersonal, primarily threatening nonhuman elements or distant others, making it difficult for risk communicators to motivate target audiences to take risk-mitigating actions. This dissertation argues that because environmental risks threaten both health and the environment, messages about this category of risk can be framed in either a health or an environmental context as a means of altering risk perceptions. It is further asserted that, all things being equal, message features that are more or less relevant to either the health or the environmental frame will achieve different results depending on which message frame is used. As a means of investigating this claim, two types of similarity (demographic similarity and scene similarity) were manipulated in a 2 (risk frame: health, environmental) × 2 (demographic similarity: high, low) × 2 (scene similarity: high, low) between-subjects experiment (N = 568), in which participants were exposed to a message about drought framed as either a health or an environmental risk. The results show that scene similarity interacts with the two message frames (health and environmental) for narrative persuasion and behavior-related variables. Specifically, high (versus low) scene similarity resulted in better persuasive outcomes for the health frame than for the environmental frame, whereas low (versus high) scene similarity resulted in better persuasive outcomes for the environmental frame than for the health frame. Additionally, the study found that framing an environmental risk as a health risk increased behavioral intention and behavioral expectation. Furthermore, high (versus low) personal relevance improved risk perception, narrative persuasion, behavioral intention and expectation, and response efficacy. The study has implications for health and environmental risk communication, particularly for impersonal risks that people perceive to be of low personal relevance, and opens up new avenues for research and practice in areas such as climate change communication and entertainment-education. Limitations, implications, and recommendations for replications and extensions are discussed. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z

Majority" written 40 years ago in 1969, gives him the credibility, as well as his 13 other books since. "American Theocracy" discusses the 5 decades of growth many recent developments occurring in the US political, economic, religious and cultural realm in the GOP. He supports his points with lots of research and referencing.
Phillips states the GOP and US government are "a fusion of
petroleum-defined national security; a crusading, simplistic
Christianity; and a reckless credit-feeding financial complex."
At one time, the GOP was the party of stability, order, low taxes, low spending, and small government (in theory at least).
The author notes the transition of the GOP to what many others think and believe today: In 2006, it's over. The Republican party can never argue again that it's the party of low taxes and spending, and small government. The 'big-government GOP' began long before The G.W . Bush administration, but Bush 43 has greatly exacerbated to shift to big spending, big
government, conglomerate control, and the erosion of personal
liberties and freedom of speech. Today there is a Cult of Personality and a lack of critical thought and even disdain -- to the slightest questioning or criticism of American domestic and foreign policy: Bushbots. Federal bureaucratic interference in education with the "No Child Left Behind," Act, and the promulgation of the pseudo-scientific "Intelligent Design." The federal government's interference in the Schiavo case is another clear example of many, noted in "American Theocracy.Read more ›
Author Kevin Phillips comes up with a series of characteristics of what he called a "power already at its peak and starting to decline." The list includes a polarization of the society and widespread concern with cultural and economic decay; growing religious fervor and an increasingly close relationship between church and state; a rising commitment to faith over reason; growing government debt; and "hubris-driven national strategic and military overreach."
Jeez, open most days' newspaper and don't be surprised to find concrete examples of each of these points.
The point risks being lost amid all the white noise predicting doom and gloom of different sorts these days. No doubt most readers will find themselves a little more jaded to these sorts of prognostications than they would have been just a few years back.
But what separates Mr. Phillips from the pack (at least to some extent) is his curriculum vitae: he is the same Kevin Phillips who, as a Republican strategist in the 1960s, shattered the Democrat's "solid south" in his book The Emerging Republican Majority. Most political scientists credit the book with sowing the seeds that handed the Republicans the White House in every election since then that didn't feature a highly-intelligent southern governor on top of the Democratic ticket as a way to wrestle a few electoral votes away south of the Mason-Dixon line.
If Mr.Read more ›
Instead, in this calm, clear, and well articulated tour of the social, economic, and political territory with which he is so familiar, Phillips describes the contemporary topography of conservative republican rule as being an inhospitable and ungovernable landscape pocked by craters of ideological fervor, fiscal insanity, and unspeakable personal greed. In many ways, his well-articulated broadside against the political right is all the more damning because it is not only from a true believer, but also from an outstanding academic with a persuasive resume, a man who carefully documents and substantiates everything he cites, especially in this scathing look at exactly where it is that the 21st century's form of rabid Republican conservatism is leading us.Read more ›

Sprewell's Lawsuit Dismissed
Latrell Sprewell's lawsuit against the National Basketball Association, challenging his 68-game suspension for choking his coach, was dismissed today by Federal District Judge Vaughn Walker, who said it was so worthless that Sprewell must pay the league's court costs. Sprewell, whose original one-year suspension was reduced by an arbitrator, claimed in his lawsuit that the punishment still exceeded the arbitrator's authority and that he was a victim of racial discrimination. Sprewell, who was then with Golden State and is now with the Knicks, noted that a white player, Tom Chambers, was not suspended for punching a Phoenix Suns assistant coach a few weeks before Spre well attacked Golden State Coach P. J. Carlesimo.

Greetings from Oz,(downunder)
I bought 2 Emax's (3906) before the kids were born( 12 years ago).. the kids found them in the garage and started playing with them (the old batterys lasted 5mins) so i decied to buy another R/C( i have 3 kids) which was the traxxxas slash 4x4 ultimate with the Traxxas EZ Peak Plus charger..
I have just recieved the package, plugged the NiMH battery which came with the car only to find a grinding sound comming from the fan in the charger.
I'm a little disapointed.
What are my options?
( if i send back its going to cost half of what i paid for the charger, and i wont be able to use the Slash)
Regs John
Mine does the same thing, has since day one, over 6 months ago when they first came out. Never a problem working though. I have to use it constantly to keep my lipos and my son's going. I'm looking to upgrade to one that can do them a little faster, just haven't decided what to do. I just ignore it and go on. Does it just make the noise for the first 20 seconds or so? That's what mine does and then sounds fine.
FLM EMBE P4de "Digger" Slash MT Backsl4sh Summit
I just bought the EZ Peak Plus at my LHS. Was disappointed to find the fan bearing was 'chattering' from the beginning. Took it back & showed it to them. They exchanged it, no questions. Brought the 2nd one home and by its third use, is doing the same. Sad to see Traxxas product quality control this bad. Especially when the difference between a 'cheap' fan and a 'good' fan is maybe a few cents...on an item that the LHS sells for $100.
While it may not be a problem now, eventually the tolerances get bigger, and the chattering will eventually not go away. This means the fan doesn't spin as fast as it should and it will not keep things 'cool enough' and lead to premature failure. Given the cost of the charger, defective out of the box on multiple units really has me questioning anything Traxxas.
Yep, bought one new. Used it once without problem. Starting with the second use, the fan starts up noisy, and now it happens every use. After a few seconds, the grinding goes away. Annoying.
thing I did while it was open was to drill a hole in the center of
the case where it draws air through so I could oil the shaft without
taking it apart again. Make sure to reinstall it so the the bushing faces
out in order to oil it.
Okay, thank you.
Got it open last night and put 1 drop of bearing oil in the fan, it's running great now!
I bought mine brand new and it's the same as everyone else's here. Pretty sad but that's the typical traxxas bearings for you. Just keep it lubed up and clear of dust and cigarette smoke and you will be fine. The fan will burn out eventually but is easily replaced.

Evidence exists that a more acidic diet is detrimental to bone health. Although more precise methods exist for measurement of acid–base balance, urine pH reflects acid–base balance and is readily measurable but has not been related to habitual dietary intake in general populations. The present study investigated the relationship between urine pH and dietary acid–base load (potential renal acid load; PRAL) and its contributory food groups (fruit and vegetables, meats, cereal and dairy foods). There were 22 034 men and women aged 39–78 years living in Norfolk (UK) with casual urine samples and dietary intakes from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Norfolk FFQ. A sub-study (n 363) compared pH in casual samples and 24 h urine and intakes from a 7 d diary and the FFQ. A more alkaline diet (low PRAL), high fruit and vegetable intake and lower consumption of meat was significantly associated with a more alkaline urine pH before and after adjustment for age, BMI, physical activity and smoking habit and also after excluding for urinary protein, glucose, ketones, diagnosed high blood pressure and diuretic medication. In the sub-study the strongest relationship was found between the 24 h urine and the 7 d diary. In conclusion, a more alkaline diet, higher fruit and vegetable and lower meat intake were related to more alkaline urine with a magnitude similar to intervention studies. As urine pH relates to dietary acid–base load its use to monitor change in consumption of fruit and vegetables, in individuals, warrants further investigation.
