The rep even stated you will have all parts covered trans, heads, hoses, electrical, etc, etc. I stated what would my deductable would be responce only $100.00 do i have to pay anything else. No just take it in and you pay $100.00 we take care of the rest directly with the dealer.
They even called a dealer and the dealer said he heard of them. I once more asked ok let me get this right i pay $100.00 thats it, you guys pay the rest and i just have to do my normal maintenance everything else is covered on my car with no problems, response was correct.
One month later i get my paper work stating my coverages and Royal Administration Services, Inc. with the number 1-800-871-0467. I called becouse the booklet stated that any repairs had to be pre-aproved or they would not pay. I was told this was correct and if they found that the charges being requested was to much i would have to go else wear or pay the difference. I was also told i was not covered bumper to bumper i had only items 1-10 get this joke my power windows are covered but not the moter.
My electrical is covered but not my cluster panel or temperature gage and it goes on and on. I called back US Fedelis oh they would call me back once they heard the taped conversation. Dig this bss when i got the call back i am so sorry but you were told you were purchasing comprehensive becouse she heard it. I asked her to hear the tape with me on the phone becouse you can clearly hear when i asked if it was bumper to bumper everything but normal maintenance. She refused i explained i was conned the sales rep new i wanted full coverage as i stated and explained in detail yet the rep said yes except for normal maintenance. She still refused to correct what they had done i again said you heard the tape you know he delibertly mislead me responce what are you going to do. Well folks i will tell you what i am going to do 1 report them hear 2 report them to the bbb 3 report them to ftc 4 write to the main corp 5 call the news media 7 hope there is a law suit so i can get help. Know my car has more miles and i am unable to obtain a good warrenty thanks to them. To make matters worse with todays problems who can afford to fork up more than what i have paid them to purchase a new car.

Dishwashers are supposed to wash your dishes, right? Well, if your dishwasher requires you to wash your dishes before ever putting them into it, then it's not doing its job very well. Sometimes just changing detergents can help. But most of the time, a good cleaning is all it really needs. Here are some tricks and tips you can try to make your dish-washing experience a little better.
Clean the inside of the unit with warm vinegar and a plastic scrubber to remove all of the mineral deposits that build up over time. These mineral deposits are the same thing that cause spots on your glasses.
Clean the arms that turn inside the washer. They should move freely. Be sure to clean out all of the little holes on these to make sure they can spray the water properly.
If your dishwasher has a rising spray assembly, make sure it also moves freely.
Clean the dispenser cup with warm vinegar and water, too. If these mineral deposits get into the springs and hinges, it won't operate the way it is designed to.
Check the settings on the front to make sure they are set for the desired washing cycles.
Usually the water used in your dishwasher comes from your kitchen sink, so if it takes a while for hot water to get to that area, you can run the water in the sink for a minute or two to get it hot before starting your dishwasher.
The rinse agents that you can hang or add to a special cup in your dishwasher really help a lot, too. Most are added monthly, but it really depends on how often you use your dishwasher and how hard the water is in your neck of the woods.
When you are finished washing a load, there shouldn't be any water left in the dishwasher. If there is, check for debris in the bottom of the unit that might be preventing the pump from working properly. If you don't see anything there, then you might need to have your pump cleaned or replaced.
If the racks are starting to fall apart, check your hardware store for new rubber tips that can cover those rusty edges. These parts, and others also, are available online at places like RepairClinic.com.
Cleaning dishes is a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it – better the dishwasher than you!
Q: I was working on our toilet and broke the top that goes on the tank. What can I do to fix this? – G.R.
A: You can try gluing it back together, but if that doesn't work, you can buy a replacement lid. Check with your hardware store or the manufacturer of your toilet. They aren't very expensive.
If you haven't tried using a compact circular saw, you need to. They are so much easier to maneuver than the regular ones and work surprisingly well. Rockwell has a super model (RK3441K) that weighs in at only five pounds.
It's slim, its inline grip provides great comfort, balance and control, and the left-handed design gives you better visibility. It uses a 4.5-inch thin kerf blade, works great on most materials and uses a quick, push-button arbor lock.
There are several blades available for a wider variety of projects. It also has some great, standard circ-saw features, including beveling capability, blade guard and vac adapter for dust collection. Check it out at www.rockwelltools.com.

I was told on 3 separte occasions that my data speed which was throttled would be restored to previous speeds after the service end date 24th of each month. I was told this by a customer service representative on 3-16-13; 4-24-13; and 5-24-13. It never has happened when I asked for information about specifics which caused this throttling of data speeds I was told they didnt have any. When I asked for my speeds to be restored to previous setting they transfer you to what they said was tech support to get your speeds restored but it is actually a recorded message that tells you things you can do to not have your data thottled and then hangs up.
This mesasge is pointless because one you hit the black list they will not let you back to having normal data speeds. I have used under 300 MB for the last 2 months supposedly their data cap is 1.5 GB. I do not appretiate being mis-led. I do not like being told I was being transfered to a department to resolve my issue and sent to an automated message that just hangs up. I did not violate any of their policies and they cannot provide me with any information stating otherwise. I started monitoring my data when I noticed my data speed significantly slowing down. I am a very lite cell phone data user and I am distraught that if this is happening to me their must be many others out there with similar situations and circumstances.

News about the health and beauty of the natural world that sustains us.
By Jessie Fetterling
weeds, New York Times, global warming, Lewis Ziska, U.S. Department of Agriculture, atmosphere
Lewis Ziska, a weed ecologist with the Agriculture Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, may have found a way to fight global warming with weeds. According to an article in the New York Times, Ziska conducted several experiments that tested the effects of changing CO2 concentrations on different crop and weed species. He found out that weeds respond a lot better than the crops do. In one experiment, he tested a weed called Chenopodium album, which grew six to eight feet on an organic farm in western Maryland and 10 to 12 feet in the inner harbor of Baltimore (where the CO2 in its local atmosphere is above the current global average). While this can be troublesome for crops that can't grow at the same rate, especially under the same conditions, Ziska suggests that the excessive amounts of weeds could be a possible source for biofuels.

An old story gets a fresh twist in "Alice in (Pop-Up) Wonderland" (Orchard Books). Using text from the Lewis Carroll classic children's tale, the new version is brought to life by illustrator Jotto Seibold, also known for illustrating "Olive, the Other Reindeer."
Turn a page, and Alice springs forward as she falls down the well. Turn another and the large blue caterpillar stretches at least 6 inches taller than Alice and asks, "Who are you?" A three-dimensional Alice grows on each page, as she gets too big for the queen to carry out her wish: "Off with her head!"
Readers can also pull on tabs to make the Mad Hatter and the March Hare gesture during their tea party with Alice, and to make the Cheshire Cat disappear -- except for his grin, of course.

text: The deoptimization thing is definitely interesting to watch. Here's a benchmark done by the JRuby guys (disclosure: I'm a shareholder and employee at their place of employment). http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2009/j-is-for-jvm-why-the-j-in-jruby/ What I find fascinating is the little blip at iteration #6 where hotspot tries something that doesn't work, then reverses it. Personally, I believe that functional languages are different enough that there are intelligent optimizations that are suitable for them at a high-level that are not suitable for optimization at the byte-code level (or suitable for other languages). That said, I don't think it matters because: 1. Those implementations are at such a high level that they would end up in the compiler anyway. 2. Most of them involve matching patterns in a way that is computationally intractable (until I get my Quantum Compiler!). 3. Nobody cares enough to put the resources into it that the JVM is getting. As such, I think a JVM-targetted Erlang would be very nice, if the JVM can get as good at lightweight processes and scheduling as Erlang itself is. One of the most striking things about Erlang for me was that almost all performance metrics are measured in microseconds--and anything larger would be inadequate. Most other languages (barring assembly or kernel-level C) end up measuring in milliseconds--and then they do it by repeating the test 1000 times and dividing. With Erlang it's possible to get microsecond measurements from a single run and feel pretty good about it. Until I see this out of the JVM, I think that the Erlang VM is the way to go. Even then, I don't see Ericsson embracing the JVM until you can say "Embedded Java" without eliciting laughter. I suspect the horror of Java on phones has been bad enough that it will be a long time until that happens.

Police said between March and July, Haun regularly watched child porn and shared it with others.
Detectives said the children are not related to Haun, but they are not releasing any more about the victims at this point.

One of the best PS4 deals of the summer popped up today at Dell Home. Now a PlayStation 4 Black Ops 3 bundle is getting a bonus $100 Gift Card usable for anything sold by Dell. Gift card shows up at checkout.
Today NewEgg tacked on $10 to the price of the PS4 Black Ops 3 Bundle and is then tossing in a bonus PlayStation Plus 1 year membership. With all the buzz this week about the PlayStation Plus 12-month jumping to $60 come September it's well worth mentioning.
Looking to buy a PS4 for No Man's Sky? The bundle you shouldn't pass up is on NewEgg's eBay store page. The PS4 Black Ops 3 Bundle normally runs $350 alone but for $50 more you're getting two AAA titles, one of which is No Man's Sky. This PS4 bundle + 2 games would cost you $470 if bought at list price, so a decent $70 bonus value.
Looking to pick up a PlayStation 4 this Summer? The deals are nothing compared to the price drops we've seen on the Xbox One, but today a good bundle popped up at Dell Home. There the PS COD Black Ops 3 bundle is going for $390 with a bonus copy of the Uncharted Collection and Paragon: The Essentials Edition. The $390 price is $40 more than the PS4 Black Ops bundle normally costs, but buying the two games separately at their best prices online would cost you $90 more - so a real world $50 bonus value here.
There just isn't enough PlayStation 4 deals on the market. But now after a long while we're finally seeing under $350 PS4s again, thanks to a limited time $15 off eBay coupon, plus Antonline promotion. Full Sony warranty plus additional game.
Willing to buy a PS4 just for Uncharted 4? Here's your deal of the day from Antonline via eBay - a PS4 COD Black Ops 3 bundle + Uncharted 4 for $359. The PS4 bundle alone sells for $350 elsewhere so it's like paying $9 for Uncharted 4 instead of the $50 - $60 separately.

NewEgg can't seem to sell enough PS4's this Summer and is bundling the console with No Man's Sky, Fallout 4, and Far Cry Primal for $370 on their eBay page. While this is $20 more than a PS4 normally costs, the three games would add up to $118 at their best prices online. Limited quantity.
It's a basically a Star Wars PlayStation 4 bundle at NewEgg. Get today's big release Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens plus Star Wars Battlefront and a PS4 for $360 and free shipping. Normally the console alone sells for $350 and buying the games separately would add up to $88 ($60 + ~$28). In real world terms, this console bundle has a $78 bonus value to it. Not bad.
Two weeks ago NewEgg put his PS4 bundle on their site with the Uncharted Collection + Uncharted 4 for $359. Well, if you missed it she's back at the old $359 price. Nine bucks more than the PS4 sells for alone with about a $94 bonus with the two games.
While multiple retailers are trying to sell off their stock of 2015 / early 2016 Xbox One bundles, at least NewEgg has decent offers on the PS4 via their eBay store. This PS4 console includes Uncharted 4 and Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection for $359. That's $9 more than the PS4 alone sells for, but the two games add up to $94 if bought separately at their best prices online.
We've happened by a few decent Xbox One bundles on eBay, now it's the PS4's turn. NewEgg selling PS4's with the April releaesed Ratch & Clank plus a copy of last week's launched Uncharted 4 for $369. The console alone is a $350 value, so you're paying $19 more to get $98 in games. Real world value here of $79.
Today NewEgg has the PS4 500GB Bundle with a free copy of Far Cry Primal and a Gold Wired Headset. The console alone normally costs $350, and buying the game and the headset separately will run about $138.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, April 6, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- Racing against possible rain, South Carolina Department of Transportation workers and contractors chip away chunks of asphalt from the collapsing Laurens Street Bridge.
"The weather's not helping. You know, it's just not a good situation," said Mary O'Hare, the owner of M.B. Jewelry And Beads in Downtown Aiken.
Day to day, the bridge is a major artery for her.
"I travel that bridge daily, because I live on the South side, and you know, that's how I found out," she said.
Now, she fears she'll be taking a detour for a while -- on either Newberry, Chesterfield, or Union Street -- along with lots of other people.
"Traditionally, Union Street and Newberry Street haven't had a lot of those horse trailers come over. They generally went over Laurens Street, and now they're going over those bridges," O'Hare said.
SCDOT discovered the problem Monday morning after a weekend of rain showers. They were alerted to deep cracks on the bridge and had to shut it down. SCDOT says the rain severely eroded dirt holding one end of the bridge up, and as that end settled, it essentially broke the bridge in two.
After more rain the next day, the bridge had sunk almost 20 inches.
A spokesman from SCDOT tells News 12 that the whole bridge will have to be replaced. He says today workers are under an emergency contract to hopefully prevent the whole bridge from collapsing on the railroad underneath. He says SCDOT is also working with the Governor's Office and the Federal Highway Administration to find the funds to make permanent repairs.
"I hate to say this, but DOT is not proactive. They react," said O'Hare.
As mentioned, there is a railroad underneath the bridge. News 12 spoke with a representative at Norfolk Southern, and he says the railroad is still open. He says they have an employee on site to monitor the situation.
SCDOT should release more info early next week about a timeframe for permanent repairs.

Carlsberg May Raise Outlook on Russian Recovery, Nomura Says
Carlsberg A/S, Russia's biggest brewer, may raise its profit forecast for the year, according to Nomura analysts, who said an improvement in SABMiller Plc's second-quarter sales in the country indicates a market recovery.
Carlsberg, the maker of Tuborg and Baltika beer, rose in Copenhagen trading after SABMiller said sales growth resumed in Russia during its fiscal second quarter, "aided by exceptionally warm weather in July and August." The Danish brewer controls 40.1 percent of the Russian beer market.
"With a normalization of both consumer activity and regulatory intervention, we see the Russian beer market as having the largest scope for growing its profit pool in the next five years," Ian Shackleton, a London-based analyst at Nomura, wrote in a report. "We expect strong third-quarter reporting with a likely increase to full-year guidance," he said. Carlsberg is due to report third-quarter earnings on Nov. 9.
Russian beer sales slumped after the government tripled taxes on alcohol this year. Carlsberg, which gets about half its operating income from eastern Europe, raised its annual profit forecast in August, saying it expected a high single-digit percentage decline in the Russian market compared with a previous forecast of a "low double-digit percentage."
Shackleton, who has a "buy" recommendation on Carlsberg and a price target of 750 kroner, estimates that the company will raise its forecast of 2010 operating profit to 10.7 billion kroner ($2 billion) from about 10 billion kroner.
Carlsberg rose 5 kroner to 589 kroner as of the 5 p.m. close of trading in Copenhagen, the steepest gain since Oct. 13.

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

"provide proof"
So..since a person doesn't provide proof to your standards (whatever those are), then you have concluded there is no proof? Wow...what an ego.

But why argue with me about the accuracy of Mann's hockey stick? Take it up with him and the many other scientists I've cited.
Basically, you're asking me to believe you instead of the experts. No sale.

Well. You yourself said the hockey stick was supported by more than two dozen reconstructions.

I'm not using the "appeal to authority" fallacy.
"A fallacy in which a rhetor seeks to persuade an audience not by giving evidence but by appealing to the respect people have for the famous."
grammar.about.c om/od/ab/g/appealauthterm.htm
The key word here is "famous." I'm citing them for their EXPERTISE, not their fame.
But I apply a standard beyond that. The source should not be cited if it's considered immune from criticism. That's why I cite peer-reviewed stuff; it's been criticized by other experts.

"I want to see proof that CO2 is causing the earth to warm"

I meant that you cited strong evidence the hockey stick graph was ACCURATE, since it is "supported by more than two dozen reconstructions, using various statistical methods and combinations of proxy records," as you said.

You ask if the hockey stick graph is inaccurate, but you already cited strong evidence that it is.

After numerous emails, it's now July 7th and I have yet to receive a phone or refund. What I have gotten are excuses that "the refund depart is working " (that one on June 18th.
I was able to locate similar phones from other sources (and at lower prices too) - I have recommended to friends and family traveling overseas with me, co-workers and the overseas travel office at work to avoid this company at all costs. I'm also filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. In my last communication with the company I informed them that I would be contacting the BBB and taking legal action - and now they elevate the complaint to a "manager"? Needless to say, I hold out little hope that they will actually refund my money.

After several attempts to cancel nothing was done. I even quoted the time and date that I cancelled and they confirmed that I did call, but I didn't cancel (I bet my paycheck that I did). Then the person on the phone said that they would cancel the account. I said great! I also want my money back for Feb, Jan, Dec and Nov. She said you'll have to talk to my supervisor. Put 'em on the phone (after a long wait, again). He said that I didn't cancel. He said I needed a confirmation number. I said that I just got off the phone with the girl and she said she would cancel it, but she didn't give a confirmation number. I asked him for it and it took him @ 7 min. to get one. (I think he finally pit it in for cancelation)
Now I have to wait for the 28 Mar 07 to call and hear the conversation I had with the girl i originally cancelled with on the 20 Nov 06.

He leaned back and drained his beer like water.
Anthony took another swig of his Surly Hell. "Who said I was keeping up with you?"
Packing boxes surrounded Anthony's rickety card table, their poker hands: forgotten. A balloon floated limply against the ceiling and a half-eaten cake slumped on the computer desk. Wiste opened another can and raised it.
"Happy birthday!"
Anthony raised his lager. "Here's to another twenty."
"Oh, at least!"
There weren't many friends like Wiste. Most people would hesitate to cross town after midnight to celebrate a birthday. Wiste had crossed the barriers between worlds and even promised to stick around and help Anthony pack for his annual move back home for summer break.

I have a huge mess of categories. I want to simplify things a bit and reorg down to just a handful of 'em.
Of course, deleting a category does the "honest, I won't delete your posts, I'll just move them to the default category." Fair 'nuff. However, the category I'm deleting is a sub-category of one of the few I wish to keep. Well, now it is in the "kept" category and "Uncategorized".
Trying to think of a tolerably efficient way to accomplish this without editing each post, 1 by 1. Any ideas or tips?

Hi, I'm new (and I mean new!) to WordPress, and I have it running locally on a Windows machine (localhost, IIS 7), and it's working perfectly fine except for a file manager plugin called "elFinder".
Basically when I start it, I just get an error "Invalid Backend configuration", and when I run Firebug on it, I get an "Internal server error 500". Is this simply because elFinder doesn't run locally, or is it something else?
I have already installed "JSON API" (which apparently is required by elFinder).
any help greatly appreciated!

If you buy a voucher and don't check to see if the company being sponsored is still in business or still offering the promotion within 120 days, Eversave.com will not refund your money.
We have had two such experiences with vouchers that are good for 6 months or more, however when we tried to redeem the voucher in both cases the business was out of business.
Eversave's response to the matter is essentially "Oh Well"
They state that we didn't ask for a refund with 120 days?
How could we if we didn't have any knowledge the businesses they are promoting are gone?
Why would you ask for your money if the voucher is good for another 6 months?
Problem is you don't find out until well after the 120 days has expired, and you think you still have another half year to redeem your paid for voucher.
So here I sit sucked out of my cash with absolutely nothing and no help from the Eversave.com rip off machine.
This is a Rip-off and not sure how it can be legal?
Sure sound like stealing to me?

Contemplative Pedagogy Initiative
In its series on Contemplative Pedagogy, CET invites you to a discussion of
Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life
In that recent book William Deresiewicz claims that, as students turn away from the humanities to more practical subjects such as economics and finance, they lose their ability to think independently.
David Albertson (associate professor of religion) and Mark Weinstein (associate professor of finance and business economics) will put that claim under the microscope and invite audience participation with a Q&A. Copies of the book are available gratis by request from CET (with an implied promise to read it beforehand if possible).

I'm a Primary Teacher who thinks a bit too much outside the box...
So much so in fact, that my closest friends call me the "Weapon of Mass Imagination". As part of this package I'm a bit on the eccentric side of human nature.
The most obvious manifestation of this trait, is my puppet Traumador the Tyrannosaur. Invented as part of an education program I used to do at a museum, I just couldn't bring myself to retire (which really is death for a puppet!) the character, so I brought him over to the net when I left said museum.
Traumador has since taken on a life of his own, which you can be a part of! Join him on his (mis?)adventures over at The Tyrannosaur Chronicles www.traumador.blogspot.com
I'm a very active and passionate 3D graphics artist, and am hoping to establish myself as a legitiamate Palaeo-artist in the near future. Unable to keep this love of reconstructing the prehistoric past to myself, I'm one of the co-creators of ART Evolved: Life's Time Capsule, the online Palaeo-art community. Where all we do and talk about is palaeo-art! Please come and join the community at www.blogevolved.blogspot.com!
I also love to record the wonder that is the world around me. Whether it be in nature or in the artifical yet amazing confinds of humanity. Everything is cool and interesting, and I try to capture it with my camera...
Beyond that can't think of anything more to add at moment...

Enrico CarusoVer en iTunes
Para escuchar en vista previa una canción, pasa el ratón sobre el título y haz clic en reproducir. Abre iTunes para comprar y descargar música.
Caruso studied with Vergine and under conductor Vincenzo Lombardi. His first success came with his performance of La Gioconda in 1897. After a controversial reception of a performance at the Teatro S Carlo in Naples, Caruso vowed to never sing in Naples again, and he never did. He sang at Covent Garden in London and also at theatres throughout Europe, but he performed most often at the Metropolitan Opera. Incomplete and irregular training caused Caruso to have technical problems early in his career. He was insecure in his upper range, often resorting to falsetto or transposition. He did not overcome this problem until 1902. Also, his voice had a dark tone that caused some ambiguities. This dark character worked in his favor as well, the appeal of his voice stemming from the combination of his full baritone-like characteristics and the smooth, brilliant tenor qualities. He was a master of interpretation and could handle the most difficult and diverse repertoire. He had a rare gift for portamento and legato and had an excellent command of phrasing. Caruso was greatly loved and admired, and his death from abcesses on his lungs due to a bout of pleurisy was sincerely mourned by the public.

text: The film's casual plot revolves around six recent college graduates, and Stillman charts their clashes and intimacies with a keen sense of human foibles and frailties, pausing throughout for such characteristic touches as a hilarious conversation about the sexual politics of Disney's Lady and the Tramp or the homoerotic subtext in an episode of Wild Kingdom. Sharp dialogue is in rich abundance here, and through it all Stillman captures the fading glory of disco as his characters make the transition toward adult responsibilities. It's here that we see how this film is subtly intertwined with Stillman's earlier work, and where we gain a fuller and more satisfying appreciation of a filmmaker who has carved a singular niche for himself in the world of independent movies. --Jeff Shannon

The present study investigated whether consuming dairy products naturally enriched in cis-9, trans-11 (c9, t11) conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by modification of cattle feed increases the concentration of this isomer in plasma and cellular lipids in healthy men. The study had a double-blind cross-over design. Subjects aged 34–60 years consumed dairy products available from food retailers for 1 week and then either control (0·17 g c9, t11 CLA/d; 0·31 g trans-vaccenic acid (tVA)/d) or CLA-enriched (1·43 g c9, t11 CLA/d; 4·71 g tVA/d) dairy products for 6 weeks. After 7 weeks washout, this was repeated with the alternate products. c9, t11 CLA concentration in plasma lipids was lower after consuming the control products, which may reflect the two-fold greater c9, t11 CLA content of the commercial products. Consuming the CLA-enriched dairy products increased the c9, t11 CLA concentration in plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC) (38%; P=0·035), triacylglycerol (TAG) (22%; P<0·0001) and cholesteryl esters (205%; P<0·0001), and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (238%; P<0·0001), while tVA concentration was greater in plasma PC (65%; P=0·035), TAG (98%; P=0·001) and PBMC (84%; P=0·004). Overall, the present study shows that consumption of naturally enriched dairy products in amounts similar to habitual intakes of these foods increased the c9, t11 CLA content of plasma and cellular lipids.

Dissent From an Unexpected Fed Hawk
Many Federal Reserve watchers expected Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, a frequent critic of current Fed policy, to dissent against the central bank's forward guidance at Wednesday's meeting.
Instead, it was Charles Plosser of the Philadelphia Fed who took the stand. He thought the Fed's commitment to keep rates near zero for a "considerable time" after the bond-buying program ends fails to recognize recent progress in the economy.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 4% annualized rate in the second quarter, but only after shrinking 2.1% in the first. Fed officials appear to take a hawkish turn in Wednesday's statement, giving a nod to a recent pickup in inflation.
"Inflation has moved somewhat closer to the Fed's longer run objective," the Fed said in its policy statement.
Apparently, that wasn't enough to keep Mr. Plosser on board.
- This post originally stated incorrectly that Mr. Fisher had criticized Fed policy in a Wall Street Journal editorial. The WSJ piece was in fact excerpted from an earlier speech of Mr. Fisher's.

Epson V600 flatbed
2pixels_short Registered since 16th Oct 2003
Tue 18-Sep-12 09:21 PM
I am attempting to scan 35mm film using the film carrier supplied with the scanner and have run into a small issue that has me perplexed.
At each end of the 6 frame strip, the end frames are correctly "registered" in that the thumbnail preview and final scan matches the dimensions of the negative as shown.
However all the scans in the middle of the strip of negs has an offset frame on both thumbnail and final scan as shown.
Each image frame in the strip except for the end frames have this same offset. I tried to set the scan marque by hand in "Normal" view instead of "Thumbnail" but am having difficulty getting the image large enough to be able to actually see the frame boundaries.
I have not been able to locate any information on this type of situation so any help would be appreciated.

Before you contact me for a project quote request, I recommend that you review this questions and answers page.
I offer no set cost for a design project, as each can be vastly different. I provide quotations based upon how long the project will take to complete. A simple flyer, for example, will cost far less than a fully functioning web site. I don't normally provide estimates, but solid figures which you'll be able to budget for.
To get an idea of the budget ranges which can be chosen when requesting a quotation, please take a look my online forms here:
Logo Design Quote Request | CD Sleeve Quote Request | Web Design Quote Request
No. As an independent designer, I'm not in a competition for design projects as I have my own design style, like many freelancers do. Please see my portfolio to see the kind of work I produce and see these case studies which show how I work: Edit Websites, GEDT Branding, BlueDrift Logo, Reeds CD, Dominic Finley CD.
I produce design work that is high quality and professional. As a Bachelor Degree holder (BA Hons Graphic Design), I won't undervalue my work. The quotations I provide are fair and should not be compared to other quotes, as other designers won't produce the same style of work as myself.
Yes. VAT (valued added tax) is added to quotations for all EU residents. Clients from outside the EU (for example, USA, Canada and Australia) are quoted VAT at 0%—instead of the variable rates of European Countries, which roughly range from 5% to 25%. My VAT number will appear on quotations and invoices.
Maybe. It all depends on how much work I have on at the moment. If a project time frame is urgent, then I may be able to start sooner, but a rush-fee (charge) will be added to the quote. If I'm fully booked, say, for 2 weeks, I will provide you with a start date.
This depends on many factors, including the size of the project and the amount of other projects I am working on. However, the general time scale is between 2 weeks to 2 months.
Normally, I will provide some PDF proofs and email them to you. When you have reviewed your designs, I will amend them and re-proof you updated designs until we are all satisfied with the outcome.
I supply pretty much any filetype that is required. Normally, I supply print-ready PDFs for Print works, Layered PSDs for web templates, GIFs, JPEGs and PNGs for web design. AI and EPS files can also be supplied upon request.
Absolutely! I work with clients locally, but also from countries as far away as Australia and the USA. Modern technology makes it possible for us to collaborate on a project. As long as you have access to email, the project should run smoothly, although we can also use phone and skype, too.
I can accept payments in a variety of, including PayPal/Credit Card, Cheques (USA: Checks) and Bank Transfer/BACS.
I may do if I feel it fits in with the rest of my material.
I may do, but it isn't guaranteed. Being featured in a case study should be very beneficial for your company and organisation, but I will never disclose private data.
Why not ask a question that isn't listed here:
