Chapter One: A Time-Traveling Owl
Wednesday, July 31st, 1991
The first thing he saw was the owl. She flew right to him and landed on his outstretched arm, staring intently but somehow warmly at him.
"She's never that friendly," the shopkeeper said in astonishment, but the boy didn't hear.
"Hello," Harry whispered, entranced. "You're so beautiful..."
The owl walked up his arm, flapping her long, white wings languidly. When she reached his shoulder she tilted her head and rubbed her soft, downy cheek against his own.
"I'll take 'er," Hagrid declared, and the shopkeeper nodded. There was a long pause while the boy and owl looked at each other, and Hagrid rooted through his vast overcoat to find the right coins.
Hagrid watched them, unable to keep from smiling. Harry looked happier than he had the whole day. Hagrid paid for the owl, remembering to pick up a cage and owl treats as well.
Harry started at Hagrid's hand on his shoulder – he'd been lost in his own world, it looked like.
"Ye'll want to cage her, 'arry," Hagrid told the boy. "So she won't fly away."
Harry smiled at the snowy owl, who was shaking her head.
"She won't," Harry said confidently.
Hagrid scratched his head and shrugged as they left the shop, the owl perched comfortably on Harry's shoulder.
After a few more stops, Hagrid asked Harry to wait for him on a bench outside Griselda's Café while he ran a few personal errands. Harry sat obligingly, laughing as the owl nipped playfully at his ear.
In a flutter of wings, she rose into the air.
"Hey!" Harry called in surprise. He'd been so sure she was going to stay put.
"Krekk," the owl called, and flew off. Harry grabbed his shopping bags and hurried after her.
"Wait up!"
The denizens of the Alley were treated to the sight of the small, messy haired boy chasing his owl down the street, nearly tripping several times on the cobblestones.
The owl came to a landing on a shop sign. It was bronze in color, with curly, embossed letters in black ink proclaiming its name; Flourish and Blotts.
"Please don't fly off like that!" Harry told his owl, once he'd caught his breath. She fluttered down to land on his shoulder, and shuffled in place, her head hanging low in embarrassment.
"Oh, its okay," Harry hastened to add. "I just didn't want to lose you. I've never had an owl before."
She gave him a look, her keen eyes seeming to tell him that she wasn't his owl; rather, he was her wizard.
"So you like bookstores?" Harry grinned, glancing through the window of the shop. She nodded, and Harry laughed again.
"You're very clever," Harry marveled. "I wouldn't be surprised if you did know how to read."
Harry shouldered open the door and headed inside, breathing in the smell of ink and parchment. The shop was large, at least five times bigger than the pet store had been, and it was filled to the brim with bookshelves.
He wondered if he'd be able to read all the books within the shop in his lifetime. Probably not, but it was worth a try. Harry wanted to learn everything he could about the exciting new world he'd been invited into.
The owl pushed off his shoulder, heading down the main aisle before wheeling gently to the left. Harry hurried after her, nearly bumping into a few other customers, one of who seemed to be having an argument with a book, which was growling in response to her chiding.
He found her perched on a shelf, nosing a small brown book. Curious, Harry plucked it out and examined the title.
"Occlumency, Lessons for the Wise," Harry read aloud. He opened it up and skimmed through the introduction.
"Protect yourself from wizards who can read your mind?" Harry's eyes widened. That certainly sounded useful. He had no idea that some people could actually read his thoughts. It was an uncomfortable thought.
The owl fluttered off again, pointing to another book. Harry checked it out, a simple looking book called Defend Yourself. He shivered as he read on the back what sorts of curses wizards could cast on each other – a blood boiling hex? That sounded perfectly horrible.
When his arms were completely full of books, Harry went to sit down in a cupola in the back.
"Do I really need all of these?"
The owl nodded in certainty.
"Okay," Harry smiled slowly.
She tapped one of them, clapping her beak at the same time. Frowning, Harry selected it, scanning the title, Notable Witches and Wizards of the Past Millenium.
Harry turned pages, trying to figure out what the owl wanted. Thirty pages in, he started to feel frustrated, and flipped through it faster.
A single talon darted out to stop him. Harry looked down at the first name on the page.
"Hedwig of Maiden Castle, 1320 – 1457. Wait – is that right? She lived to be 137? Wow," Harry whistled, and read on. "Hedwig was a great Healer of her time, and is remembered for her kindness in assisting witches and muggles alike through childbirth and other illnesses. Hedwig is also known for her defense of a neighboring muggle village against a dragon attack in 1382, and her subsequent defeat of the ferocious Welsh Green. Er, is that what you meant? It is interesting – Ow! Stop pecking me, Hedwig!"
The owl stopped in her brief attack, fluttering her feathers in a manner that can only be described as smug.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Harry knew.
"That's your name, isn't it? That's why you wanted me to see that... All right, Hedwig it is, then." Harry grinned at her widely. He didn't stop grinning as he continued to walk through the store and found his required school books, conveniently together on a shelf titled First Year Reading List.
The woman behind the counter was too absentminded to pay much attention to the small boy who paid promptly and exactly for the books he bought.
Harry left, lugging three more bags with him. He wondered how he was going to carry them all back to Privet Drive.
Hedwig lifted off, circling above him before leading him further down the alley.
What more did she want him to get? Harry wondered. He didn't think he could carry another ounce.
This time Hedwig stopped outside a small shop, labeled Selega's Secrets.
Frowning, Harry headed inside.
The proprietor looked up from his book, studying his new customer from beneath his horn-rimmed glasses.
"Just what are you looking for, young man? This isn't a cheap shop for trinkets."
"Er," Harry began, embarrassed. Hedwig flew right to a display in the back.
"That," he said, gesturing gamely to her.
The proprietor followed the owl, and picked up the item she was currently nudging.
"This is what you want?"
"Yeah," Harry agreed, seeing Hedwig nodding.
"Hmmph. Well, she's well-trained," the old man acknowledged. Hedwig let out an annoyed little squawk, and he chortled.
"Snobby too," Mr. Selega snorted, and headed to the register. "You've seen this before, then?"
"Remind me?" Harry asked hopefully. He headed to the counter and set down his bags before reaching for his moneybag.
"Gold watch, elegant yet sturdy. Undetectable expansion charm, it should last the rest of your life." Seeing Harry's bemused expression, Mr. Selega continued.
"That means it'll hold a good mansion worth's of items inside. Better than a chest, far more convenient – and more expensive. If you've got the gold, I'll set it up to be charmed to work only for you."
"How much?"
"Two hundred twenty," the man replied, eyeing Harry suspiciously.
Harry swallowed. It sounded very convenient, but was Hedwig sure? He looked at her again, and pulled out his purse.
"All right," Harry agreed. The proprietor straightened up, his disbelief disappearing and a smile appearing at the prospect of a sale.
"Good, young man. You know a bargain when you see it."
Harry wasn't sure that was the case, but he agreed. Mr. Selega took his gold and proceeded to key the watch specifically for Harry.
"Tap an item you want to put in it with your wand, then tap the watch – it will move in automatically. Its safe to put all manner of things in – they shouldn't interfere with each other. You want to pull something out, tap the watch and think of the item you'd like. If you forget the inventory, and want to take everything out, Subduco Omnes, and everything will come out – make sure you've got the space available, or you'll get crushed!" He laughed at his own joke, and Harry smiled feebly.
"You have any other questions, come back and ask anytime."
"Thanks," Harry nodded, and left. He wished he had his wand – without it, he still had to carry his bags.
Hedwig led him back the bench, where Hagrid was standing, looking around with a worried look on his face.
"'arry!" Hagrid bellowed, catching sight of the boy. "Where've you bin? Thought I said to stay put."
"Sorry, Hagrid," Harry said apologetically. "I thought I'd get my school books since the shop was so close. I figured I'd be back in time, but there were so many books – I lost track of times."
Hagrid's face softened.
"Ah, no 'arm done. Just like your mother, you are – always had her nose in a book. Looks like you bought half the store!" Hagrid laughed. "Alright then. You got yer owl, an' yer books... Ah, you'll be needing potions ingredients."
Hagrid led Harry and Hedwig into a small, dark shop that smelled rather putrid – it turned out to be the apothecary.
Hagrid talked with the clerk about the various phials and cauldrons that Harry could get while Harry and Hedwig wandered around.
The clever owl occasionally would point to a few things that Harry would take and put in his bag. Sometimes it was ordinary things, like pre-made healing potions, but sometimes it was strange things - like a bezoar, whose tag informed the reader that it came from the stomach of a goat, making Harry want to drop it in disgust.
But to his surprise, as they entered a particularly dark alcove, Hedwig ducked her head forward and grabbed a small, squishy looking orange ball in her beak. She tilted her head back and swallowed it.
"Hedwig!" Harry hissed, looking around to see if anyone had noticed. They hadn't. The snowy owl seemed all right, though, and took another one in her beak.
"What is that?" Harry murmured, looking closer.
Hedwig took advantage of his slightly open mouth, darted forward, and shoved the orange ball into his mouth. She pecked at his mouth, and as he leaned back and away, he instinctively swallowed it.
Harry shuddered - it felt funny going down his throat, very slimy - and it left a tangy taste in his mouth.
"That was strange," Harry gasped.
Suddenly his body was tingling, as if he had suddenly realized how cold a room was and reacted all at once. His vision was blurring, and he wondered if he might be falling, because his sense of gravity seemed to be altering. There was a faint thump, and his suspicion of falling was confirmed as his backside faintly stung. He still couldn't see, and wondered if he was fainting. He'd never fainted before.
Then something nudged his chin upwards, and an unknown liquid trickled into his mouth and down his throat. His vision was back, and somehow brighter than before. Hedwig was in front of him, looking very much like she had caught a whole family of field mice.
Are you all right, dear?
"What? Am I – I'm hallucinating," Harry groaned, shaking his head. "My owl just poisoned me, and I'm seeing things... I mean hearing things – whatever."
I'm afraid not, Harry. This is very real. Now, you must think your next response, not say it.
"What are you -"
Think it!
All right, all right. How are you talking to me?
Every wizard and witch in the world has one magical creature to which it can fully bond with. Here Hedwig inclined her head almost smugly. It is a miracle for an owl to find the wizard it matches to within its lifetime. I am, however, lucky. I have found you – and for the first time, I was able to do something about it. There is much I have to tell you, Harry, once we have some privacy. For now, trust me that you should not tell anybody that we can speak like this.
Er – okay. The eleven year old nodded a little. So... you're like a familiar or something?
Something like that. She smiled in the way owls do, and Harry finally smiled hesitantly. More of a protector. We owls are known for our wisdom, and I hope to be able to impart much of it to you.
"Harry? What're you doin' on the floor?"
The boy in question looked up and saw a befuddled Hagrid standing over him, appearing to be even more gigantic than usual.
"Er – looking at the ingredients down here?"
"Okay." Hagrid shrugged. "Got the stuff you'll be needing for Potions."
"Thanks," Harry said quickly, and stood up. Hedwig moved to his shoulder as they walked to the front with Hagrid. The giant man went to look at some potions a few aisles over, so Harry quickly bought everything he wanted to, not just the cauldron and glass phials.
The clerk looked at him rather shrewdly.
"I see you read ahead," he commented.
"Yes," Harry lied. The clerk nodded and let Harry go.
They made a few more stops, picking up a telescope, and then a set of brass scales. Hagrid led them to a shop called Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions, and told Harry he'd see him outside when he was done.
Harry walked in and was quickly given a chair by Madam Malkin. When he was left alone after the measurements, Hedwig's voice chimed in his head again.
This is as good a time as any to reveal a great secret to you, Hedwig said somberly. Remember to respond in your mind. Harry, I have known you for longer than you have known me. I have already lived out eight years as your familiar.
Harry raised an eyebrow. What exactly was she talking about?
Time travel, Hedwig went on. Is entirely possible, for last week, I arrived here, travelling from Diagon Alley in November of 1999. I was sent to my past, now our present, in order to change the future.
Harry stared at her.
Are you serious?
Harry, magic can do almost anything, Hedwig told him. I will not lie to you, not about anything. We are bonded, and indeed an owl and her familiar cannot lie to one another in Truespeak.
Is that what this is? Truespeak?
Different people have different names for it, but that is what I call it, yes. Everything I will say to you will be true. It is simply not possible for it to be otherwise.
I believe you, Harry decided. You've been helping me from the start.
And I will continue doing so, Hedwig swore. I love you, Harry. And I will care for you as well as I am able.
Harry blushed. Hedwig knocked her head gently against his cheek.
I know this is very new to you, she continued kindly. But don't ever forget, Harry, that I love you. You are the most wonderful wizard I have ever had the pleasure to meet, then and now, and it is a tragedy that your hateful relatives have never seen that.
Harry truly knew the truth in her words at that moment. She knew of his relatives, of his past, and apparently knew of his future too. He'd never remembered hearing anybody tell him they loved him. He felt a warm feeling in his chest, and couldn't stop grinning.
He looked up as a bell dinged in the shop. A woman in gold robes entered the shop, holding the door for three girls who followed behind her. Two of them were quite small, poking and giggling at each other, and quite similar in their slim builds and blonde hair. The eldest girl had long auburn hair in a braid down her back, and looked quite like the woman, who could only be her mother.
"Annette," Madam Malkin greeted the woman with a smile.
"Mary," Annette smiled back. "It's good to see you again."
"Susan's starting this year, isn't she?" The proprietress nodded at the oldest girl.
"Yes, we're very proud of her," Annette said fondly. "We'll miss her dearly, but we know she'll do well."
"Of course she will," Madam Malkin agreed. "Henrietta can get her measurements while I finish with this last set. Another new student, in Susan's year."
"Oh," Annette turned and spotted Harry, sitting in the corner. "Do introduce yourself, Susan."
Harry looked up. Susan walked over to him and stuck out her hand. Harry stood quickly and shook her hand.
"I'm Susan Bones," she introduced herself with a wry little smile.
"Harry Potter."
Susan's eyes flashed to his scar, but she nodded and didn't make a fuss. Harry nearly sighed in relief.
"So what House do you think you'll be in?" Susan asked.
"I really don't know… Actually," Harry admitted. "I don't even know what the options are."
Susan held out her arms as the assistant came over and fitted a measuring tape around her waist.
"Well, there's four Houses," Susan began. "Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. They're named for the four Founders of Hogwarts. I'm not sure how exactly you're picked for any one, mother and father won't say, no matter how many times I ask."
"Are there any differences between them?" Harry frowned.
"Well, each Founder valued different things more than others. Hufflepuff appreciated hard work and loyalty most, while Ravenclaw prized a thirst for learning new things. Slytherin emphasized ambition, while Gryffindor figured bravery to be better than the other traits. So people say that whatever House you're in, you have more of that respective trait. But anyone can be a mix, really. My dad was a Hufflepuff, and his family were mostly Hufflepuffs too, while my mum was a Ravenclaw, from a family of mostly Slytherins."
Susan paused, and thought about it.
"I know they'll be proud no matter where I go, but I think I'm leaning towards Hufflepuff. If I get to choose, that is."
"Thanks for explaining," Harry smiled at her. "Hufflepuff sounds good – what's not to like about hard work and loyalty?"
"Exactly!" Susan exclaimed with a nod. "There's a lot of competition between the Houses, but Hufflepuff mostly stays out of it. Gryffindor and Slytherin House have the biggest rivalry."
"Well, they say that the actual Founders, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, had a falling out, and the Houses have been enemies ever since."
"Hasn't Hogwarts been around for ages?"
"Yeah, like a thousand years," Susan agreed. "It does seem way too long for any sane person to continue feuding. Nobody really even knows the details of why it began!"
"Here you are, Mr. Potter."
"Thank you, Madam," Harry said politely, accepting the package of clothes Madam Malkin was offering. He quickly counted out the money and handed it over.
"So what do you think?" Susan asked him. "Now that you know about the Houses."
It took Harry a moment to remember her initial question.
"Well, that kind of rivalry sounds ridiculous," Harry decided. "So I guess Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff for me."
"Great!" Susan grinned. "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you on the train. Maybe we'll be in Hufflepuff together."
"Maybe," Harry agreed. "See you at Hogwarts."
"Enjoy the rest of your summer," Susan called as he headed out, struggling under the weight of the eight heavy bags he was now carrying.
"'Arry!" Hagrid greeted him, and Harry couldn't help but smile at the large man. He was carrying two ice cream cones in one hand, one strawberry and one chocolate.
"Choose your cone," Hagrid said, somewhat dramatically.
"Strawberry, please," Harry chuckled. They sat down together to eat them. Hedwig leaned forward and stole a bite from time to time, earning a grin from Harry and a bellow of laughter from Hagrid.
"Didn' know owls like ice cream," Hagrid mused.
"She's special," Harry said fondly, stroking Hedwig's wings. "Thanks, Hagrid. For the ice cream, and especially - for Hedwig."
Hedwig turned her head to look at him, blinking shyly.
"You're very welcome," Hagrid, said, wiping his eyes surreptitiously. "Finish up, now. It's time to get yer wand."
Harry grinned. His day was just getting better.

They teach uneducated homebased sales people to unknowingly break the law. Phone Broadcasting (Robo Calling) is against the law and violators are fined $16,000 per complaint. See the Link Below.
Leroy Lehr who peddles his webinar on Demand system from one company to another continues to promote these unethical and illegal tools to people who don't know any better. Maybe someone should ask Leroy why he has been terminated from 4 companies in only two years.
They also sell an illegal scraper to harvest phone numbers illegally. If you think it's legal to break into companies online data bases and steal phone numbers and emails then good luck explaining your ignorance to the judge.
Maybe you should ask Dan Miller and Leroy Lehr to pay your fines and serve you jail time. Ask them if they guarantee that it's legal. If so tell them to put it in writing and pay your fines before you buy it.
You get what you pay for. They are already under investigation. Good luck if you're using their sales tools illegally.
Facts you should know but LeadNetPro won't tell you.
Did you know there is no such thing as a DNC list for voice broadcasting. It went obsolete last year when the new law took over. Now you can't call any resident. It doesn't matter if they're on the DNC list or not. $16,000 fine for every offense. Can you afford that?

#1 Consumer Suggestion
GREAT Company and Program
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 15, 2014POSTED: Monday, December 15, 2014
It is NOT against the law to call businesses.
LeadNet Pro is NOT telling anyone to call consumers.
The program only extracts Business emails and numbers. An owner of a home based business is also a Business. Sure they may use their home phone or cell phone for their business but that is why they were called. They ADVERTISE their home number as their Business number. This is the only time a "consumer" would be called.
You can't download, install and use a program and expect ANY Company...Microsoft included...to give you your money back. You could keep the program and continue using it and the software company would be out of business.
This is NOT a MLM or illiegal pyramid. You need to get your facts correct before you start bashing companies in public forums. They only pay a referral/affiliate fee. Thousands and thousands of companies have an affiliate program... see Amazon!
Some people just like to complain.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Stealing Leads

Well I have never done business with them but currently am a telemarketer and call companies from leads every day. Our leads are obtained legally and have all the info you say lead net pro is stealing. What makes you think they are stealing this information? Just about ever company has the info on their company listed as a matter of public reference. We get our leads from a reputable source. A company that has been in business for many many years. What makes you think lead net pro does this any differently??? all info on companies is a matter of public information.
Our lead source is Manufactures Leads I know they are reputable.
The fact that you say lead net pro gets their info on companies is just not so. This info is available to any one who wants it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Please Provide Justifiable Proof/Backup on Your Complaint Against LeadNetPro

I was offered to join LeadNetPro recently also and I looked up Dan Miller and LeadNetPro and found a "ton" of Dan and/or Daniel Millers online. This company is just two months old. I only found your complaint attached to "this" Dan Miller and it seems like the four complaints here on RiipOffReport are one and the same (?). If this isn't true, would the others here rebut to my comments, please?
According to the latest Alexa traffic ranking (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/www.leadnetpro.com):
LeadNetPro.com has a three-month "global" Alexa traffic rank of 31,208.
Approximately 80% of the site's visitors are in the US, where it has attained a traffic rank of 3,709. Compared with the overall internet population, the site appeals more to users who browse from home; its audience also tends to consist of men over the age of 35 who have attended college and have incomes between $30,000 and $100,000.
I can only "assume" that men over the age of 35 who have attended college and have incomes between $30K and $100K CAN (and "knowingly") make an educated decision as to buying ANY home-based business opportunity online.
Can you please tell me where you get YOUR statics to make such a comment/complaint? Or advise as to how Alexa.com could be so wrong with theirs?
I haven't bought into this program, however after reading more about them and trying to educate myself, as a concerned consumer and make an "informed and educated" decision, I want to make sure that comments and/or complaints such as yours are also backed by justifiable facts and proof. Can you please provide that?
Thank you!

"From the moment I got to Auschwitz I was completely detached. I disconnected my heart and intellect in an act of self-defense, despair, and hopelessness." With these words Sara Nomberg-Przytyk begins this painful and compelling account of her experiences while imprisoned for two years in the infamous death camp. Writing twenty years after her liberation, she recreates the events of a dark past which, in her own words, would have driven her mad had she tried to relive it sooner. But while she records unimaginable atrocities, she also richly describes the human compassion that stubbornly survived despite the backdrop of camp depersonalization and imminent extermination.
Commemorative in spirit and artistic in form, Auschwitz convincingly portrays the paradoxes of human nature in extreme circumstances. With consummate understatement Nomberg-Przytyk describes the behavior of concentration camp inmates as she relentlessly and pitilessly examines her own motives and feelings. In this world unmitigated cruelty coexisted with nobility, rapacity with self-sacrifice, indifference with selfless compassion. This book offers a chilling view of the human drama that existed in Auschwitz.
From her portraits of camp personalities, an extraordinary and horrifying profile emerges of Dr. Josef Mengele, whose medical experiments resulted in the slaughter of nearly half a million Jews. Nomberg-Przytyk's job as an attendant in Mengle's hospital allowed her to observe this Angel of Death firsthand and to provide us with the most complete description to date of his monstrous activities.
The original Polish manuscript was discovered by Eli Pfefferkorn in 1980 in the Yad Vashem Archive in Jerusalem. Not knowing the fate of the journal's author, Pfefferkorn spent two years searching and finally located Nomberg-Przytyk in Canada. Subsequent interviews revealed the history of the manuscript, the author's background, and brought the journal into perspective.

Singapore Attractions
The Lion City is home to two casinos; the Casino at Resort World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands Casino. Singapore used to have strict attitudes about gambling and casinos (Lee Kuan Yew once said a casino in the city state was possible only "over my dead body") but nowadays seems to be warming to the idea.
With the opening of these two lavish locations in 2010, tourist and gamblers can visit Singapore and enjoy gaming in a world-class environment.
Opened in 2010 Singapore Marina Bay Sands is part of the mega $5.5 billion resort project, Marina Bay Sands Hotel. But it's much more than just a hotel and casino; in fact it has everything to become Southeast Asia's next top entertainment destination.
Place your bet, and hope you're lucky. Only less than a month after its opening, a few Lotus Evora cars from the casino's 'Mystery Car Jackpot' had found new owners. Not bad at all for those who played on the 5¢, 10¢, 20¢ or multi-denomination machines and won. And more are coming, don't worry. Lost the lucky streak? Then head up to the Sands Skypark for jaw-dropping Read More...

College students' federal aid has increasingly been put at risk by the cozy relationship between institutions of higher education and credit card issuers over the years. While consumer advocates and legislators have debated whether or not products like student IDs that double as credit or debit cards provide an actual benefit to students or if they're just a way for schools and banks to rake in the big bucks, the Department of Education finally took steps today to ensure students are afforded proper protections from excess fees and other harmful practices with the proposal of regulations targeting the college debit and prepaid card marketplace.

Fake Waitress Steals Diner's Credit Card, Goes On Spending Spree Next Door At Target
How many times have you put your credit card out to pay for a restaurant meal and had an employee other than your server pick it up? It's not uncommon, especially in busier eateries, so some diners wouldn't think twice when it happens. At least until the card hasn't been returned because the helpful "waitress" who took it is actually at the Target across the parking lot making purchases with it? [More]
Sally Beauty Looking Into "Unusual Activity" On Payment Cards At Some U.S. Stores
In what has become an unfortunately familiar experience, yet another retailer is announcing that it might've been the victim of a potential data breach: Sally Beauty confirms that it's investigating "unusual activity" involving payment cards at some of its U.S. stores. This, a year after a breach that affected tens of thousands of customers. [More]
House Panel Strikes Provision That Would Delay Added Military Lending Act Protections
Yesterday we reported that Congress would make a decision whether or not it would intervene to slow the Department of Defense's work to create new rules aimed at closing loopholes in the Military Lending Act that often leave military personnel vulnerable to predatory financial operations. Thankfully, legislators saw the need for more protections regarding military lending and determined the rules could go into effect as planned. [More]
How Scammers Trick You Into Giving Up That Security Code On The Back Of Your Credit Card
There are a lot of purchases you can make with the information on the front of a credit card. But ID thieves who have the card number, name, and expiration date will still hit a speedbump if they have to enter that (usually 3-digit) security code on the back of a victim's card. Notice that we said "speedbump" and not "dead end," because some scammers have figured out how to get this crucial info from their victims. [More]
Congress May Delay Predatory Lending Protection For Military Personnel
The Military Lending Act prevents military personnel from being caught in revolving debt traps of triple-digit interest loans from predatory financing operations like payday and auto-title lenders, but there are loopholes that allow some lenders to get around the MLA's 36% APR interest rate cap, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars to servicemembers each year and raising issues of national security. The Dept. of Defense is currently working toward new rules that would add protections for military personnel, but Congress may intervene to slow the DoD from making progress. [More]
Discover To Let You 'Freeze' Credit Card When You're Not Sure If It Needs To Be Canceled
If you've ever found yourself without your credit but unsure whether you left it another coat, dropped it on the sidewalk, or had it stolen from your wallet, you've really only had one safe option: cancel the card ASAP to prevent anyone else from using it. But Discover is reportedly going to offer its Discover It card customers the option of temporarily shutting the card off without cancellation. [More]

I called the Oakland number (510-633-5100) 27 times over the course of 3 hours and the 800# a total of seven times. The Oakland office never answered. In fact at one point they began picking up and immediately hanging up the phone. The 800 number also called the OAK branch and was only able to leave a message for the manager to call them and me back. This never happened.
I was forced to hitch a ride with the tow copany the Sherrif departments sercured. Afterwhich I spent 3 hours waiting in a filthy room while the tow truck drivers chatted about being in court fro beating thier wives and "slapping pu$$y". Yes, that is exactly what I said.
I waited their until one of my friends in LA could drive up, pick me up and take me to Burbank airport, where I had to pay for a full fare one way ticket to Oakland ($140.00).
In Oakland my sister and I stopped off at the Budget counter after she picked me up. We were informed by Azali that he, Sandim, whom we also spoke with, and the manager Judy Cameron were all working during the time of my accident. They were there at the time that the message was left and they had no answer for why the phone was not answered.
They initially refused to give me the general manager and regional manager's information. After much prodding they gave the general manager's name of Ed Phillips. They also gave me the station manager's name, Rahim Sabur, who I spoke with on Monday 3/10. It would have been Rahim or Judy that would have received the message regarding my case. Neither parties returned the call.
When speaking with Rahim, he was unsympathetic and told me it could take more than 24hours to get the car in thier possession and that they would charge me until it was. He had nothing to say about the service at his site and could only be bothered to send me the incident report for by fax. By the way, this was the first I'd heard of a incident report.
I have not called Ed, because I was too busy trying to get confirmation that the car was picked up and my invoice was closed out. This was finally completed, 3/21 after 10 more calls to the roadside assistance vendor that Budget uses, and separate calls to Budget's 800#. It seems a shame that the best service I got was from a non-Budget company.
I have already spoken with the travel contract manager at my compnay, to ensure they are removed as a preferred vendor. We are the largest bank in the world and I travel constantly. I do not ever want to have a situation like this occur, for me or any of my colleagues and employees.
I will be filing a complaint with Hotwire, from which I rented the car, not knowing it would be budget. I will also be filing a complaint with budgets headquarters. Although, I understand that this behavior is typical of Budget and they do not care. I expect Budget to refund the cost of my flight home and the cost of my rental. We has see if they continue to be unethical, unprofessional and simply ridiculous.

ASPIRING actors took to the stage when the University of York's high-tech theatre opened to local young people for the first time.
Around 165 children, aged seven to 17, performed as part of York Stagecoach's end-of-year productions on Saturday, with a further 80 younger children taking part in fun sessions.
The theatre is part of the new £30 million Department of Theatre, Film and Television building and has the same design as the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, boasting the latest technology.
Stagecoach was given access to the dressing rooms, production office, rehearsal space and foyer to welcome the audience.
Sally Thrussell, principal of York Stagecoach, said it was a fantastic opportunity for the students to perform in a world-class venue.
Carole Dove, commercial director of Heslington Studios, the commercial arm of the University's Department of Theatre, Film and Television, said: "We hope the experience will inspire them to a career in theatre and to consider higher education in the future."

This place is horrible, I filed a claim in Jan. They have had the wrong employer listed on the claim the entire time causing this to go all the way to appeals I have sent 4 letters and made 7 phone calls telling them and they do not care. We finally get to the hearing and the right employer shows up but all the information they have for case is from the wrong employer. I told her this and she said ok and proceeded with the claim . They provided me with no info from the employer and I did not even know why I was let go from the employer till the hearing. She denied the claim and sent the information to me with the wrong employer information on it. This is a horrible experience I would not wish on anyone. Giving people this type of power who could care less about you or their job is a big mistake and there is no way to do anything about it. You vs. the Government that is a long walk. You better prey to the lord you never deal with these people because you will be crushed at the lack of true ability these people posses to do their job.
Take all the workers you ever fired for being incompetent, and their is the staff at the Ga. Dept. Of Labor. This is why we need less Government in this country. If you could find one thing the Government could run I would give you 100$ and I am broke because of these idiots. I filed for a 13 week claim and got a job after 8 and I have never filed before but this program is not in the interest of the Tax Payer it is just another way for the government to say no and take your money.
The government could not run an Ice Cream Stand. Can not wait to see how this ends up but it has been stressful and very disappointing to deal with these people who do not care about what they do.

Home Office Deduction Rules
Each year, you can choose whether to use the regular or simplified method of calculating the deduction. If you use the simplified method in one year, and in a later year use the regular method, special rules will apply in calculating your allowable depreciation deduction. Additionally, if you are carrying forward an unused deduction from a prior year (because your business deduction exceeded your business income in a prior year), you will not be able to claim the deduction in any year in which you use the simplified method–you'll have to wait for the next year you use the regular method to claim the unused deduction.

I need your help creating a custom page template with just the left sidebar (the secondary menu & primary sidebar) and the content. Since it's a standalone custom page I won't be needing to make a child theme.
Can you help me? A hint or some other materials to read would be helpful also.
What I already did.
Because I'm a beginner I started reading the codex section for making a custom page and then proceeded: I took the Full Width template page/php file included in the theme but when I edited the file and included a div area with the left sidebar it actually reverted to a default page - thus including the right sidebar as well. I tinkered with code to the best of my close-to-0 abilities but did not manage to make it work.

I am a fashion designer who designs hand knits. I love hand knits because we create both the fabric and the shape. My designs reflect my intense interest in fashion, with a keen eye to design and technique.
Jill Wolcott Knits® patterns are very complete--I strive to create a complete and clear guide to a completed project and leave little room for interpretation. When a pattern challenges you to conquer a new technique, the directions and support are there to give you a great result (I've given it lots of thought and coached many knitters to new skill heights). Your reward will be the skill that you take forward in your knitting. My love is knitting, not sewing, so I design so that as much as possible is done on the knitting needles with sewing only as absolutely necessary. This isn't necessarily a shortcut, but I think it works really well for those who don't love the finishing process.
I have an extensive online techniques library to help you master techniques I use, and anything specific to a pattern is included.
Explore two different modular construction concepts while making the two faces of this pillow. One side features a variation on the classic mitered square, a truly modular knitting concept. On the other side, shift your focus from decreases to increases with a counterpane square that grows from the inside out. Notice how the same yarn looks slightly different, depending on the way you knit it. You decide if you like working one more than the other.

The 52nd-Annual Panhandle Watermelon Festival takes place Friday night and Saturday in Chipley this week. For the first time in more than a decade there is a bumper crop in Florida.
Thousands of jubilees, sangrias' and crimson sweets' are being packed and shipped from Bonifay to markets in Chicago, Atlanta and Houston, Texas. Panhandle watermelons are in high demand nationwide.
Afternoon and evening rains over several weeks has led to a stellar harvest.
A far cry from the drought conditions over recent years, Washington County Extension Agent Andy Andreasen says the cost of fuel and fertilizers has doubled and even tripled in some cases.
It is becoming more difficult for the grower to show a profit.
"Production costs are higher than in [past] history; hopefully, products we sell will bring a fair price, and hopefully that will give growers a little something and a chance to get out for doing so," said Andreasen.
This Saturday, they'll be plenty of free melon slices and a host of events like the seed spitting competition taking place at the Washington County Agriculture Center in Chipley.

Whatcha gonna do, brother, when Brennemania runs wild on you!!
I don't believe that you can get a starter good enough to help for Alex Gonzalez. I also don't believe Keppinger is an everyday player on a good ballclub.
I still think the White Sox might be interested.
gonzo for a #3 or 4 starter
It would be difficult because of his age and contract. I am sure Wayne might still try though.

FAQs About the Seasonal Flu Vaccine
- What is flu vaccine?
- Who should get flu vaccine and when?
- Who should not get the flu vaccine? Who should proceed with caution?
- What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?
- When will I be able to view my vaccination in My Health Online?
What is flu vaccine?
The standard flu vaccine (or, the "flu shot") is made from flu viruses that have been grown on fertilized chicken eggs. The viruses are killed during manufacturing, a process known as "inactivation." These inactivated viruses are a source of proteins or antigens that trigger a protective antibody response when the vaccine is injected into the arm or thigh muscle. Antibodies against flu viruses begin to appear one to two weeks after getting the flu shot and last for months, and sometimes even up to one year.
The standard flu shot is the main flu vaccine that will be offered at PAMF for the 2015-2016 season.
Three other flu vaccines will also be available to certain patients:
1) FluMist nasal spray vaccine:
FluMist, an intranasal vaccine, is available to patients 2-49 years of age who have no contraindications to it.
2) Fluzone High-Dose:
Fluzone High-Dose vaccine, a flu shot with four times the antigen dose per strain as standard flu vaccine, is approved only for persons 65 years of age or older.
3) Flublok:
Flublok is a recombinant flu vaccine manufactured without the use of eggs. It is indicated for highly egg-allergic persons aged 18 years or older. It is available only in our allergy departments.
PAMF has transitioned from trivalent to quadrivalent flu vaccines (containing 2 A strains and 2 B strains) with the exception of Fluzone High-Dose and Flublok which are still trivalent (2 A strains and 1 B strain). The second B strain was added to quadrivalent vaccines by manufacturers because predicting which flu B strain would circulate in any given season proved difficult. While this is a modest change, scientists hope it will result in increased protection against the flu in coming years. The higher dose of antigen in Fluzone High-Dose vaccine produces higher antibody levels in patients 65 years or older which results in a modest boost in effectiveness compared to the standard-dose vaccine.
Because vaccine strains often change from one year to the next and immunity wanes, flu vaccine must be given every year.
All flu vaccines at PAMF will be Thimerosal-free and latex-free.
Back to top
Who should get flu vaccine and when?
The easy answer is that almost everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine. They should get the vaccine in September or October, but they can be vaccinated throughout the flu season. Special efforts should be made to vaccinate the following persons because they are either at risk for complications from the flu, or they might give the flu to someone who is at risk:
- Women who are or will be pregnant during the flu season - the World Health Organization places a very high priority on vaccinating pregnant women
- Children younger than 5 years, especially children under age 2
- Children on chronic aspirin therapy
- People 50 years and older
- Persons who are morbidly obese
- Native American and Alaskan natives
- Persons of any age with certain chronic medical conditions
- Persons who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
- Persons who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including:
- Health care workers
- Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
- Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated.
Back to top
Who should not get the flu vaccine? Who should proceed with caution?
Flu vaccine is extremely safe for the vast majority of persons, including breastfeeding and pregnant women (pregnant women should receive the flu shot, but should not get the FluMist nasal spray vaccine). However, some groups should exercise caution:
- Persons with a history of severe allergic reaction to the flu vaccine should not get the flu vaccine.
- Persons with a severe allergy to eggs should consult an allergist. (Flubok may be considered if the patient is 18 years of age or older.)
- Persons with milder allergic reactions to eggs (such as hives only) should speak with their vaccine or health care provider first. (Usually the standard flu shot can be administered, followed by 30 minutes of observation, or the Flublok vaccine, which is not egg-based, can be given by an allergist if the patient is 18 years of age or older.)
- Anyone with moderate to severe acute illness should delay flu vaccination until resolution of the illness.
- Children under 6 months of age should not get the flu vaccine because it is ineffective in this age group (instead, their household contacts and caretakers should get vaccinated).
- Persons with a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome should consult their doctor before receiving the flu vaccine.
- Note: The nasal spray vaccine, FluMist, has in addition the following specific contraindications: current use of aspirin (in children 2-17 years), pregnancy, immunosuppressed state, egg allergy of any kind, asthma history or wheezing within 12 months in children 2-4 years, antiviral medication within the last 48 hours, or caring for severely immunosuppressed persons (e.g. bone-marrow transplant). Precautions are also cited by the manufacturer for age > 5 years with asthma, chronic medical conditions.
Back to top
What are the side effects of the flu vaccine?
The flu vaccine rarely causes serious adverse effects. The most common reaction to the flu shot is mild soreness at the site of injection which is well tolerated. Flu-like symptoms, such as fever and muscle aches, occasionally occur six to 12 hours after receiving the flu shot and last one to two days. However, these symptoms are very rare. The live, intranasal flu vaccine can cause symptoms of a head cold, and the high-dose flu vaccine is more likely to cause injection-site pain or fever.
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an acute paralytic illness, was linked to the swine flu vaccine of 1976. Since 1976, studies have failed to show a similar association between flu vaccines and GBS. It is estimated that at most, one excess case of GBS per million persons vaccinated may be attributable to the flu vaccine. The extremely low incidence of GBS stands in contrast to the many hospitalizations and deaths prevented by the flu vaccine. Moreover, influenza itself is known to cause GBS and flu vaccine may be protective. However, anyone who has had GBS within six weeks of flu vaccination should speak with their physician first before receiving flu vaccine.
