We became aware of her in December 2012 when we delivered a marmoset monkey to her from a breeder in Florida. We were again hired by Andrea in June 2012 to transport a black and white Capuchin Monkey and 2 Yorkshire Terrier puppies from a young military woman in Ohio that was being deployed. These animals were given to Andrea as the owner was promised that they were to be featured in her new reality series. Private owership of any primates is not legal in California and we were guaranteed a copy of her permit which we have not received.
Services were performed in June 2012 driving these 3 animals from Ohio to her home in Palm Springs, CA. As of today we have not been paid nor received the permit. We tried dealing directly with Andrea on collections at no avail and on September 6th, 2012 filed a small claim against her in California. She was a no show at court and are now awarded a judgement for $1,365.00 plus $80 filing fees.
While in California for our court date we did take the opportunity to spend time researching this women and have since learned she is well known for these fradulent claims of being a producer/actress and writer. She is
still contacting monkey breeders througout the United States (of which have kept us informed of her relentless calls to them) with the same story of featuring them in "People and their Pets" a reality TV series to be on the OWN network. We have also learned she is reselling them. And Now a new reality series "Andrea and the Kids". We have also learned she has victimized several in the Palm Springs and surrounding area for free professional services (a beauty salon and physician) to just name a few, with the same promise of being featured in her reality show.
It's time to Expose her for what she really is and spread the word so that no one else falls victim to her dishonest practices for profit
Please help stop this women !

Slander and Liable: It is amazing what a person or so called compnay will do to try to hurt another person....
AUTHOR: Andrea Santean - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, November 08, 2012POSTED: Thursday, November 08, 2012
I am Andrea Santean...Actress, Writer and Executive Producer...
I have created and written several projects... several Television Shows...and Feature Films.
These projects are currently in development and are also in pilot status...
They are currently being considered by several networks for airing...
I simply hired this company to bring me my pets...I love my pets and they are for me.
I do not have interest in any selling of pets.
I also refer these people to rescue organizations...
I started many years ago in Rescue of Animals...
One of my television shows in development is called "People and Their Pets"...as I love people and I love pets,,,as many people in this country do.
I love pets and at times if a person I know or meet would like a particular pet I tell them what breeder of a certain animal would be good for them....
It is not easy right now in this economy for anyone...and with the idea that falling behind in a payment of a bill would then make a person and animal transport company stoop to the level of slander and liable as this person did is sad...
This is simply about an unpaid pet transport bill...which will be paid once this slander and liable they have created stops !00 %...with their stupid report here taken down,,,
in fact the person and company here did not even identify themselves or their company...Funny huh ?
This company Pets on Board told me themselve that they have been investigated for being involved with sales of pets to the elderly and not delivering the pets to them...somehow with many elderly people losing their money in the transaction and also having their hearts broken over this.
It is sad that this company Pets On Board who has themselves been accused of "transporting pets for sale to many elderly people...but they never arrived" ...a scam they were involved in but claim they were ripped off...???
This company Pets on Board called me and asked me to do a television story for them on their own companies potential problem with their being involved in their own scandal for their own company...
What I need to make clear here is this...
A simple bill is due here for my pets being delivered to me...they are my babies...I will pay the bill as soon as I can...
This does not make me a bad person or anything I am working on as a television show or feature film in development bad...
If they want to be paid for their service...the last thing they should do is create a Slander and Liable actionable lawsuit...
This is petty...
Please...Pets on Board...create a payment plan with me...stop the slander and liable actions you are starting here before you have a real problem...and lets act like adults.
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?

Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, RENT has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.This is theatre at its best -- exuberant, passionate, and joyous. Regional theatres will love the freedom and flexibility that RENT offers; minimal costuming and sets are required.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
We are requesting your help in gathering real-world data about the vaccine storage needs of providers. Vaccine providers face a diverse range of conditions at clinics, private practices, and hospitals around the country. Before we can prescribe realistic criteria for grading and testing vaccine storage equipment at the manufacturer-level, we need to understand how vaccine storage units are used on a daily basis.
Currently, vaccine providers and program administrators face significant challenges as they navigate the selection and purchase of effective vaccine storage equipment. It is not always clear whether a particular refrigerator or freezer will meet a provider's needs. The creation of an NSF standard for vaccine storage equipment will serve to demystify this process for end-users.
The goal of this study is to record the frequency and duration of refrigerator door opening at a sampling of pharmacies and provider office locations. This will provide concrete data on real-world usage of vaccine storage units. The study does not involve temperature monitoring of vaccine refrigerators. The results of the study will be used to draft an equipment testing protocol for the new NSF vaccine storage equipment standard. The outcome will not impact routine policies or requirements for providers. Ultimately, this standard will drive future market developments and emerging technologies in the field of provider-level vaccine cold chain maintenance.
The efficacy of stored vaccine is critically dependent on storage and handling practices, including the use of reliable temperature monitoring methods and properly controlled storage systems. The absence of those protections can result in substantial waste, diminished vaccine potency, and the need for revaccination.
NIST's Thermodynamic Metrology Group evaluated the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cold-chain management systems and methods for the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) under conditions that replicate typical practices of vaccine providers.
The NIST scientists systematically uncovered key factors causing widespread problems. They identified suitable commercial refrigerators for vaccine storage; evaluated the impact of operating conditions on refrigerator performance; determined proper placement of thermometers to monitor temperature; utilized continuous temperature data collection to detect previously unrecognized thermal excursions; and developed improved cold-chain management practices.
The project began in 2009 when CDC officials approached NIST to investigate storage and temperature monitoring issues that were causing significant losses from discarded and potentially ineffective VFC vaccines -- a program that distributes approximately $4 billion worth of vaccines annually to low-income families via more than 44,000 VFC providers.
Non-mercury sensors and electronic recording devices were employed in a landmark evaluation of vaccine refrigeration equipment and storage practices. Above, Thermodynamic Metrology Group physicist Michal Chojnacky checks the readout on a small digital unit in a test refrigerator.
Refrigerator temperature control, proper storage methods, and effective continuous temperature monitoring systems are critical to maintaining vaccine potency. Temperature excursions outside the normal range of 2 °C to 8 °C render many vaccines ineffective. A meta-analysis published in the journal Vaccine, including studies published in more than 20 countries, estimated that 14% to 35% of vaccines are subjected to accidental freezing – the largest source of vaccine loss. Additional, undocumented temperature excursions may also occur, creating the potential for ineffective vaccines to be unknowingly passed on to patients.
Future activities in the NIST project include: evaluating different types of freezer systems used to store vaccines at temperatures below –15 °C; examining the kinetic temperature of vaccine fluid (contained in vials and syringes) to determine the optimal amount of glycol or other non-toxic buffer medium needed to mimic vaccine fluid temperature; and characterizing the different types of digital thermometers needed for vaccine cold chain management.
The documents, presentations, and tutorials developed for the CDC VFC program and listed at right provide a basic understanding of proper cold chain management designed to reduce vaccine waste and prevent ineffective inoculations.

After signing all the contracts, Jeremy never once did anything for my farm. I never gained one client from him nor did he put any time into developing a marketing scheme. The only thing I received from Jeremy and Flying J Promotions was a stolen trailer, a horse with a $10,000 invoice that has not been paid, and an interesting phone call from my barn manager telling me that Jeremy was at the farm with a pregnant woman riding my horses and drinking alcohol one weekend I was out of town.

After installing the plugin, and submitting a test comment to check the enhanced emails, I got a headers already sent error. I found that this was due to extra whitespace at the end of the

Other than that, this plugin rocks and I'm glad they are working on getting it into core for 3.3!

Position: Setter
Role: Offense, Defense, and Strategy
Height Requirement: Medium to Tall (if you want to play front row)
The setter is aptly called the quarterback of a team. They are the ones who call the plays and make plays happen. A good setter is quick and intelligent, as well as consistent. A good setter will make the hitters better as well, setting them up with one-on-one blocking opportunities. Being able to observe tendencies, spot weaknesses, and plan out strategies are key components to being a setter.

A group of squatters forcefully entered a building that houses a synagogue, in a move that anti-government observers say was religiously motivated.
The squatters were peacefully dislodged Monday morning after negotiations with the police and community leaders.
A group of 20 homeless people, including children, broke into the three-story building before sunrise on Monday and occupied some of the vacant apartments on the second and third floors, saying they considered the building unused and would press for the building's expropriation by the government so that it could be turned into apartments for the homeless.
Representatives of the Jewish community said that there was no damage to Bet Abraham, a synagogue that was established over 10 years ago on the building's first floor. The building has been undergoing renovations for the last two years, according to reports.
"The action's objective was not to disturb the normal activities of the synagogue and the protesters did not enter the religious grounds, nor did they act in a disrespectful manner," said the Venezuelan Confederation of Israelite Associations in a statement.
The confederation said the squatters left the building peacefully after the intervention of the district's mayor Jorge Rodriguez, who is a member of President Hugo Chavez's party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
While the confederation it does not believe the action was religiously motivated, anti-government observers pointed out that the squatter's invasion attempt came a week after Catholic imagery was shot at in another provincial city.
"These people know exactly what they are doing even if they might not know what a synagogue really is," wrote one anti-government blogger. "But they have heard the anti-Jewish talk of the regime, the anti-Catholic [rhetoric] of Chavez, [and] the unacceptable recomedation [sic] of the 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' on the Venezuelan national state radio no less."
President Chavez has verbally sparred in the past with the Catholic hierarchy in Venezuela, which has been outspoken in denouncing what it describes as the erosion of democracy under Chavez.

And despite only receiving minimal training, the brave teenager quickly joined the rebel forces – armed with just an assault rifle.
He was the youngest of a group of 15 men operating on the front line for over two weeks.
Muktar (16) will shortly enter his Leaving Cert year at The Institute of Education on Leeson Street. His sister Fadwa (20) is president of the Irish Libyan Youth Organisation.
His parents are originally from Benghazi but moved to Ireland over 20 years ago to take up work as doctors.
Muktar admitted that the decision to join the rebels was a hasty one and that his parents did not know he was going to be risking his life.
"My parents didn't mind me going but I didn't intend to fight. They didn't know I was fighting until I got back.
"I didn't plan on fighting but when I heard that they captured Gaddafi's son I got excited. "My friend's uncle, who runs the training camp just outside Tripoli, brought me over," he said.
"When I arrived there the training was over and they were just getting ready to go out.
"They just basically showed me how to use the gun, just firing in the air and practising stuff, and then I got my own gun."
Muktar said he hopes to live in Libya permanently once he finishes his exams.
He admitted that he doesn't know whether he killed anybody while in battle but that he would have no problem shooting one of Gaddafi's soldiers.
"I wouldn't mind. In our religion you have permission to do it. I was near the front door (of Gaddafi's compound) but I didn't get in. A few of my friends want to go over now as well.
"It's hard to know who you are shooting at. Even Libyans shooting at you, you don't know. They were shooting in our direction but nobody got shot from our group. It was like a drive-by shooting. I was a bit scared when there were shots going off, you don't know what's going to happen."
It is estimated that up to 500 of the 3000 Libyans living in Ireland travelled to Libya to join the campaign to remove the Gaddafi regime.

Once I got the card, I setup the account access for online -- but -- I have never been able to access the account online since. WHEN -- I call to get access, Sam or Peggy or John from over in India require the full social security number and the mailing address and even asked for my mother's maiden name before they would be able to forward me to someone who could help me, since they were patently unable to do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
The supervisor, supposedly, had equally perfected the inability to have any other remedy that getting the social and address and all confidential commercial information about my legal person! When they made the alleged attempt to call the 'real' American Express, there was no answer and they were not allowed to provide the number they supposedly called. [continued below]....
So... I'll just have to wait until some Nigerian scam ring ends up with whatever information Rageed and Parmeetha (whatever Sam and Peggy's real names are) were able to acquire. {I'm not claiming they are all scammers, but when there is no other remedy than handing out a social and maiden name and address over the phone to some foreign national... scam}

Rubus flagellaris
Rubus flagellaris, the northern dewberry,[1] also known as the common dewberry,[2] is a perennial subshrub species of the Rosaceae or rose family. It can exist as a woody vine or low growing shrub and is distributed from Nebraska to mostly all of the states to the east of it in the United States. It is also found in central and eastern territories and provinces of Canada as well.[1] It grows in a host of habitats ranging from dry savannas to deciduous forests. It also produces a dark purple drupe that when fully ripened has a tart-sweet flavor.[2]
Individuals of this species are composed of low-growing stems that range from eight to fifteen feet long and flowering stems that can grow up to four feet high. The young stems are green with a scattered arrangement of hairy prickles. The old stems are brown, woody and have hard prickles in comparison to the young stem. Sometimes the tips of the young stems root into the ground and form vegetative offsets.[2]
It has an alternate compound leaf arrangement, with mostly three, but sometimes five leaflets attached. The margins of the leaves are serrated while the leaves show a palmate venation.[3] Each leaflet is approximately three inches long and one inch wide, with an ovate shape to each. The leaflets are green on top, but pale green on the underside.[2] One leaflet of a set is connected by a petiole to the stem while the other leaflets in the set are connected to that terminal leaflet. The roots of the northern dewberry consist of a woody taproot.[2]
The northern dewberry also produces a five-petaled white flower, each flower about one inch in diameter.[3] The flowers exhibit a terminal inflorescence with one to five flowers per young stem.[4]
Flowers of R. flagellaris are white and contain five petals. The flowers are hermaphrodites and have both female and male sex organs.[5] There are five sepals, green in appearance, lanceolate in shape. The ovaries exhibit a superior position relative to the sepals and petals. Several stamen surround a cluster of carpels.[2] The most active growth occurs from mid-spring to early summer. The flowers would then open up at day time, but close up at night time.[2]
Once the flowers of the northern dewberry are fertilized, drupes soon grow and replace each flower.[2] The drupes are a dark-purplish color and range from ½ inch to one inch in diameter.[2][3] Once the fruit has fully ripened a notable tart-sweet flavor is obtained. Many animals such as raccoons, fox squirrels, eastern chipmunks, white-footed mice and other mammals eat the drupes and aid in the dispersal of the shrub.[2]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Rubus flagellaris is native to the middle and eastern United States from Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska to the eastern coast. R. flagellaris is also native to areas in Canada such as Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.[1] It grows on dry soils, bogs, soft soils and wooded soils.[4] This species is actually especially adapted to coarse textured soils (such as sandy soils), fine textured soils (such as loamy soils) and medium textured soils (such as clay-textured soils).[1] R. flagellaris grows in a wide range of habitats including mesic to dry savannas and sandy savannas, abandoned fields, meadows in wooded areas and woodland borders.[2] The species has its most active growth from the spring to the summer. It is adapted to a precipitation zone that ranges from 15 to 40 inches/yr, tolerate a soil pH ranging from 5.0 to 7.0 and can grow in temperatures as low as -23 °F. [Can survive, surely. Actual growth must happen at much warmer temps.] This species also has a low tolerance to drought conditions as compared to other species with the same growth habit from the same geographical region. It has no salinity tolerance and this species has an intermediate shade tolerance as compared to other species with the same growth habit from the same geographical region.[1]
When occasional wildfires burn down tall woody trees surrounding R. flagellaris, the resulting burning has a positive effect on population growth for the subshrub species.[2] Other research has also shown that occasional fires are beneficial to the population growth of R. flagellaris.[6] The flowers of this species are excellent at attracting a large number of native bees (with a fragrant nectar) as well as providing nesting materials and structures for the native bees.[7] Some of the bee species that interact with R. flagellaris are mason bees (of the genus Osmia), leaf-cutting bees, cuckoo bees (of the subfamily Nomadine), and miner bees.[2] These bees help to pollinate the flowers of the northern dewberry. Other insects that interact with the northern dewberry to help pollinate it are Siphonopora rubi (blackberry aphid), Metallus rubi (blackberry leafminer), Agrilus ruficollis (red-necked cane borer) and Edwardsiana rosae (rose leafhopper).[2] The R. flagellaris flowers have also been seen to be a preferential source of nectar for the Karner blue, an endangered species of blue butterfly found in the U.S. Midwest and northeastern areas of the continent.[8] R. flagellaris also has a high tolerance to hedging from livestock or wildlife.[1]

Corporate Advocacy Program™
To be fair to the company, Ive seen a number of positive reviews about it. Perhaps their fake or paid reviews--I dont know. I can just report on my experience with them. Below is an account of my experience with Allurez.
In hopes of having the piece delivered by Christmas, I ordered the piece of jewelry on Dec 17, 2012. The Allurez website was both quick and easy to use. Its funny though, I first found the piece of jewelry that I picked out on eBay. I would have ordered it on eBay; however, I decided to poke around on the companys website before buying it on eBay. I am glad I did. The price on eBay was notably higher.
Because I wanted the item shipped to a different address than to my billing address--which, by the way, online shoppers request tens of thousands of times a day--I had to call my credit card company and place the delivery address (my work address) on my account as an official address that can be delivered to. Ive had credit cards for over twenty years, and Id never heard of such a policy. However, Ive never ordered jewelry online, so maybe all online jewelers require this step.
After a couple of calls to get the credit card settled, I received an email indicating my order was in process. I thought I was all set. However, four days after I placed the order, Customer Service Rep Kelly called with an update. She started the conversation with, Well, Ill start by saying were not happy about this on our end. She then informed me the jewelry that I picked out was out of stock, even though neither eBay nor their website indicated it was. Furthermore, it would be four weeks before it would be shipped. Before being able to give a reaction, Kelly informed me that shed spoken to her manager about the issue. The Allurez manager attempted to make the situation right by allowing me the opportunity to pick something else that was in stock. They tried offering me jewelry that was similar to what I picked out. I declined. I wanted the piece Id ordered.
As an aside, I found it humorous the manager asked me to pick out something else that was IN STOCK. Based on what their website and eBay auctions indicated, the original piece of jewelry I picked out was IN STOCK. With Allurez not truthfully telling customers what jewelry was in and out of stock, how would I know the substitute piece of jewelry wasnt also out of stock?
After weighing my limited options, I decided to wait for the piece to come in. I was informed by Kelly that the item would ship mid-January. However, not having heard anything from them in a few weeks, I emailed the company on January 11. On January 14 I received a reply from another customer service rep, Korine. She emailed me the following reply, Unfortunately, your package was lost. We can ship you a new one which will take about 4 weeks or we can ship you a similar one in stock which is more expensive but we will offer it to you for the same price. Attached is a picture of the similar cross in white gold which is the 0.25 ctw.
I called customer service to see what the heck happened, and I reached Kelly. She informed me that there was a a mix up with UPS and theyre trying to find the box. Assuming they couldnt, Kelly told me it would be another month before they could get the jewelry to me, but theyd offer a $50 gift certificate. Its staggering to me that you could lose a $500 piece of jewelry, I joked. In turn, Kelly responded, Weve had issues like this before--sometimes things get lost.
Having no other options than to take another piece of jewelry or wait until February for a gift Id ordered before Christmas, I cancelled the order.
If you decide to order from Allurez, I hope you have better luck than I did. The customer service reps were friendly, but youll want to weigh if its worth it to do business with a jewelry company that doesnt accurately inform customers whats in stock, and one that frequently loses shipments.
As a last note, I visited the Allurez website and eBay auctions on Dec 21 and 28, and January 14, just to see if the piece of jewelry I tried to order was still listed as in stock. It was. Apparently, Allurez doesnt see an issue with telling customers items are in stock when they arent. Upon canceling my order with Kelly, I asked her to do me one favor: I asked the company remove the eBay listing as well as indicate on the website that the jewelry was out-of-stock, so other customers wouldnt get burned. She politely resounded shell pass my request along. I checked the eBay auction several days after speaking with Kelly--the eBay auction still indicates there are two available, and their website doesn't indicate the item is out of stock.

Behind The Scenes
AUTHOR: Suqiz - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 18, 2016POSTED: Saturday, June 18, 2016
For those seeking to find a review from an Allurez Consumer stop reading now. For those that want to learn something useful & understand why the original post shouldn't be taken seriously lets press on!
The original poster stated "In hopes of having the piece delivered by Christmas, I ordered the piece of jewelry on Dec 17, 2012". He had expectations to receive his product just 6 days before christmas.?! Now we should all know by now; regardless of company, if you want to receive a product for Christmas you should order it the first week of December or ealier.
The original poster complained "I wanted the item shipped to a different address than to my billing address". This complaint is perfectly understandable for purchase of average low-end cheap products. When you're purchasing a product for over $1,000 it's a security measure for credit card holders to confirm that it is actually them making this purchase. Please do not get angry with companies for the little extra time you need to spend for your own security. The #1 alarm for a fraudulent purchase is done with a different billing/shipping address.
The rest of the original post is a complaint of shipment & stock availability. First I will address that a company is fully responsible for updating their web-stores with stock availability, however, please understand a large company has a VAST selection of products and keeping them updated around Christmas is hard with the amount of orders they receive. There is no excuse however, for not updating their web-stores after December as noted by the original post. Now I will address that a company does take full responsibility of shipment issues. BUT! The shipping carrier is the company that is actually responsible for lost shipments, it just happeneds that a retailer such as 'Allurez' will take the heat from a customer.
We as humans have high expectations when buying products. Just understand sometimes 'Behind The Scenes' that things happen, and you need to press forward. :)

I purchased a custom-made engagement ring from Allurez. I had initially selected to pay with a wire-transfer as it came with a discount, however after realizing the fee for the transfer was more than the discount I wanted to change my payment method to a credit card. When I asked about changing my payment method they told me I would have to cancel the order and start a new one. I have never heard of this procedure, and doing so would require me to build the ring all over again which would take at least 30 mins.
I went ahead with the wire transfer to avoid complication. I need the ring as soon as possible but there was no option for expediting the process, even though I was willing to pay more to do so. They claimed this is because they need to take their time to assure "quality", which is ironic because when I finally got the ring it was very dirty and had excess glue on the inlays. For paying $1000+ this is unacceptable. Also, the ring was not the size I ordered! I wanted a 7.25 and when I took it to a jeweler to get it resized they told me it was a 7.50. I contacted Allurez about this and while they said I could send it back to get resized, the cost of insuring the ring would be more than the cost of just resizing it locally, plus I did not want to have to wait for weeks and have the possibility of them doing another subpar job.
One positive thing I can say is that they were quick to respond through email (although every time I replied to someone a different person replied back.) When I got the ring they included a card that clearly says on the front "$50 Gift Card". Yet it is not, it only provides off up to $50. Quite unnecessary misleading advertising.
All in all I am very disappointed with Allurez. They are overpriced for the quality of work they provide.

Yea, responsible service is such a bad thing......
AUTHOR: Screenname - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 06, 2014POSTED: Saturday, September 06, 2014
I really hope this original "complaint" was filed ironically. First, really, he is complaining that a company makes his shipping address match with his credit card. This means he is against companies preventing his card from being used to commit fraud, ruin his credit rating, and cost him money. I can see why this step aggravates him and he much prefers companies to just run his card and be done with it; the fact that most everyone just skips any due diligence should of course be admired as his time is too valuable to waste.
Second, they had the audacity to run out of an item. It is unimaginable that a company with worldwide online ordering can't keep everything in stock all the time. Just because if even 1% of the daily eBay browsers order from them they would sell 100,000 items on that site alone, then.... well... ummm, I guess they should just keep 100,001 of those items as dead stock just in case *I* want one too.
Then they dare think having attentive customer service representatives who find, identify the problem, and admit responsibility for it is going to make up for my momentary inconvenience.....the nerve! Then they compound that indignity by offering me $50 and trying to find a suitable replacement piece... Ok, I'm just speechless with rage now. To top it all off they refuse to make the effort to remove the item from their inventory from each and every site they sell it on - 'cause obviously if I refuse to wait for it or pick a substitute no one else anywhere would want to do so either (and really, who cares if they go to all that effort just to have to re-list it when it is back in stock - duh, why would anyone not want to keep their entire inventory updated continuously in real time... how hard could it be after all?!); the customer is always right..., right?
i am soooo glad the perfidy of this attentive, security conscious, over-achieving company has been exposed!! I'm going to show them right now what I think of them by buying a really nice watch there since that are adding insult to injury by bringing the manufacturing of this item back to the USA.

Transforming Education and Community Health (TEACH) Track
Started in 2005, the Transforming Education and Community Health (TEACH) Program Track is a highly successful primary care training track for residents interested in caring for the medically underserved and becoming leaders in academic General Internal Medicine. The long term goal of the TEACH Program is to improve access to high quality health services by training General Internal Medicine physicians who provide well-coordinated, evidence-based, culturally humble care to underserved adults.
In partnership with the County of Sacramento Department of Health and Human Services, this community-based collaborative aims to reduce health disparities and increase the number of primary care physicians in medically underserved communities.
Of note, our TEACH program philosophy was expanded to our UC Davis Medical School. Medical students who share this aim are joining the TEACH-Medical Student Program for their medical school training and work with our TEACH residency team.
Our Patients and our Community
Sacramento is one of the most racially and ethnically integrated major cities in the United States, providing a unique setting for teaching culturally humble care. The TEACH Program is centered in Oak Park, a vibrant, historic community just steps from UC Davis.
Oak Park Community
The TEACH Clinic is located in the County of Sacramento Primary Care Center, a 100,000 sq ft comprehensive ambulatory facility that provides nearly all out-patient services to the region's medically underserved. The patient population is approximately 30% Hispanic, 30% Caucasian (of which a substantial proportion is Russian speaking), 25% African-American, 10% Southeast Asian, and 5% other ethnicities. One in eight patients require an interpreter. The primary languages spoken include: English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong, Russian, Mien, and various Chinese dialects.
TEACH Clinic, County of Sacramento Primary Care Center
Our program was featured in an article within the Sacramento Bee
The TEACH program is a yearlong experience that replaces the traditional third year of residency. Residents rotate in one week blocks on the TEACH inpatient service, where they care for primarily uninsured or underinsured patients admitted to UC Davis Medical Center. They work with an attending and two third-year medical students.
When not on wards, TEACH residents spend three afternoons per week in their county-based continuity clinic (at the Sacramento County Primary Care Center) and rotate through other university specialty and sub-specialty clinics as well as county-based clinics including the Gynecology Clinic and Nephrology Clinic.
The UC Davis Internal Medicine residency program uses a 13-block schedule for the academic year. A typical TEACH resident annual schedule includes:
- 8-9 blocks on TEACH
- 1 block on wards
- 1 1/2 blocks on the MICU/CCU
- 1 block on elective
- 1 block on vacation
Whenever possible, hospitalized TEACH in-patients are followed up by their personal resident physician in the TEACH clinic. TEACH continuity clinics are held at the County of Sacramento Primary Care Center, and the inpatient component occurs at the UC Davis Medical Center. This experience allows the resident physician to care for patients during their acute illness, during their recovery, and in follow-up care.
Other unique features of the program include: on-site mental health services supervised by a dual-trained IM-psychiatrist (Dr. McCarron) to help residents manage patients with comorbid medical and psychiatric illness; and, an on-site chronic kidney disease management specialist (Dr. Morfin) focusing on improving the care of patients with kidney disease.
TEACH residents are also involved in teaching second year medical students in the Introduction to Clinical Medicine course and precepting at one of the seven UC Davis School of Medicine's Student Run-Free Clinics.
Applying to the TEACH Program
The TEACH Program is for third year residents. We have residents apply for one of the five TEACH resident positions during their second year of residency. Both categorical and primary care residents are welcome to apply.

Signed from De Graafschap in 2011, the winger played an important role as Saints secured automatic promotion from the Championship.
However, De Ridder found opportunities limited upon the club's return to the top flight and spent time on loan with Bolton last season.
Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino recently announced he was looking to move the 26-year-old Belgian on and today the club confirmed his departure.
A statement on the official website, www.saintsfc.co.uk, said: "The club thanks Steve for his services over the last two seasons, and wishes him well with his future career."

I'm looking for a good rolling duffel bag for a college graduation gift. I'd like it to by airline-compliant, good for coming home on weekends, used for travel abroad, etc. I found what appears to be a good one through LL Bean - many people loved it on the reviews - but everyone commented that the duffel won't stand upright, but flops over. I guess that is okay - but wondered if anyone else has a favorite duffel they would recommend. Thanks!

For a good quality bag at a reasonable price, I look for the Rick Steves name on it. http://www.luggageshowroom.com/rick-steves-lug_m7036.html?ppc=1737&af=1737&s_kwcid=rick%20steves%20luggage|18728854432&gclid=CKrA0ZTcs7MCFS6CQgodq3cA4g
I never had a rolling backpack but I use my Rick Steves backpack quite often.
Report Abuse
Why a duffle? I've used an Eagle Creek convertible backpack, and currently am using a Rick Steves rolling 21 inch bag, both for extensive foreign travel, but I don't see the point of a duffle, especially one with wheels.
Report Abuse
Blue, I would agree with Thursdaysd and suggest a convertible backpack rather than a wheeled duffel. I have one from eBags (MotherLode weekender convertible backpack). It is carryon size but can hold way more than it should be able to, plus it expands for extra space while traveling or if you want to check it. It's held up to my craziness so it's pretty sturdy!
They also have a wheeled duffel that is basically a cross between a standard roller bag and a duffel bag. That means it takes up about 1/2 the space of a standard roller bag and weighs less. (MotherLode TLS Mini Wheeled Duffel).
If you want to stay with wheels and no frame at all, do be careful as they often just seem to have wheels at the bottom of one side and they never hold up worth a dang. You said that the one you looked at doesn't stand up but flops over... that would drive me NUTS!
Do you know that the grad specifically *wants* a rolling duffel? If not, I would suggest the wheeled duffel as a bag that covers most bases.
Report Abuse
Thanks for the suggestions. I primarily was looking for something they could pack a lot into - not necessarily for flying - although it would be nice to have something they can use for both. I'll check into the site!
Report Abuse
Blueslipper, did you see all the responses to your first posting of this question?
Report Abuse
If you aren't using it for flying, I'd reconsider the "rolling" feature. If this is for car or bus travel you really don't need frame/wheels and then the overall weight of the bag will be a lot less.
Report Abuse
I respectively disagree with most of the above posters. We use a very large rolling duffle especially for our teenager. Even when traveling by car, you need to get the bag from the car to hotel, house etc. The one we have was about $30 and has lasted years, it is a no-name brand and we got it at a local discount store. You should look at places that specifally cater to sleep-away camp items. I think you can get one that is similar to ours for about $80.
Report Abuse
I have a rolling 29 inch duffel I have used for years and I love it. I do check it, there is always room for one more thing!....and its very easy for this old out of shape grannie to handle.
Empty it weighs 8 lbs, which is much less than the empty 12 lb Ricardo suitcase i got rid of.
Report Abuse
DUH....Forgot to answer the original question...... I bought my duffel at Ross for $40. Super return on my investment!

Recently completed a stay at the hotel between Xmas and New Years. Great value overall with very tasteful, large, and functional rooms. Location is key, being situated very close to lifts. We have stayed at other hotels in Teton Village, including the obvious 5-star choice, and this hotel provides similar rooms/accommodations at 1/3 the price at this time of year (the overall property is not as nice, but your room is where you spend most of your time). Staff is very accommodating overall and was very helpful when we requested a room change due to a glitch, going above and beyond and offering us a bottle of wine. Finally, we've had some great meals in the Cascade restaurant-highly recommended. We were here this summer, and will for sure be back again.
