Naturally, despite their statement of "recent multiple attempts to reach you," no such attempts had ever been made, up until this document was received.
Some perspective. In early 2010, I bought into their alarm service, with the full knowledge that I was going to shortly sell my home. I asked this company repeatedly at the time; I knew I was going to be moving within a year, so I made sure I had the information that their service was transferable.
Anyway, eventually the "I"s are dotted, "T"s are crossed, the stars align, and I'm ready to start the process of selling my home. Here the trouble starts.
From the looks of my own email logs, I contacted this customer repeatedly, knowing that I wanted to, and was able to transfer the contract to the buyer of my home, and seeking information on how, exactly to do it, in order to forward said information to my realtor, who would forward it to my buyer's realtor, and on to my buyer. Even the first time it was tediously annoying process.
The first time I was literally told, "nothing to it, just have her call this number once she's moved in and give us her name, state the address and that she's taking over, and you're done." Naturally, this didn't work. Fortunately, my buyer didn't wait until move-in day to do it.
Compounding this cascading error, there was yet another company involved, Monitronics, whom I was in simultaneous conversation with (the nature of this relationship seems rather vague). The next sign of trouble was when Maximum Security told me my buyer needed to call Monitronics, and the next day, through the cascading chain of Realtors holding me and the buyer at arms length, I was told the buyer did so...and Monitronics insisted she had to contact Maximum Security.
But we persevered, not nearly as forcefully as it seems we should have it seems. I called again, I called both of them, I wrote down directions, I passed them on, and the next day I was told, "nope, that didn't work either."
Finally, on april 25, 2011, I was told, by my realtor, in an email that yep, the latest directions I'd provided actually succeeded, it was a done deal, no problem.
But since I'm here, it's fairly obvious that was not the case. Nope, instead I have a $1500 bill in my hands for prematurely cancelling the contract. Naturally I've called them and complained, not only about my "FINAL" notice also being my first; not only about the bald-faced lie about "multiple attempts" to reach me, but because they've clearly made the process by which to transfer a contract so nebulous that I doubt they themselves know how to do it.

SUBMITTED: Friday, September 16, 2011POSTED: Friday, September 16, 2011
I am very confused as to how this customer did not get handled.. If you call in to my office and you tell us that you are moving and the new homeowner wants to sign the contract, then we have any easy resolution for you Period.. The only way you would have gotten a 1500 collection in the mail is if the new homeowner refused to sign back with us, or they signed on with someone else.. We are more than happy to still help you. If you have verification that the new homeowner has signed up with us, or is still willing to do so. Please contact my operations manager at 888-564-5621 ext 306.. and we will be happy to get them all taken care of and facilitate the removal of the collection and close out your account
Thank you all for you direct attention to this matter

According to AAA, Colorado could be one of the few hot places in the country for summer tourism.
AAA released a report that says the Rocky Mountain region may be the only plaice to see positive travel numbers this 4th of July.
That's good news for Shelly Baier, the co-owner of Rimrock Adventures in Fruita, who says so far this summer they have been dead but they're hoping for a busy holiday weekend, "We've been really slow but the past week things have really picked up quite a bit."
The mild early summer weather is already making business boom for over the Edge Bike Shop in Fruita, "The weather has been so nice we have definitely seen more traffic than previous years," says store manager Noah Sears.
Although business is up for the shop, they still have quite a few bikes available for visitors, "We rent a lot of bikes, we have about 40 bikes available," says Sears.
AAA says people in mountain states, which account for more than two million Americans, plan to take a trip of 50 or more miles away from home over the 4th of July this year. That's up one point two percent from last year.
It's an increase Baier is looking forward to, "We definitely are down from last year but we're hoping it picks up and gets to a level that works for us."

In her review in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Carole E. Barrowman called "Ordinary Grace" "a touching coming-of-age novel about family, faith and the empathy that can come from a violent loss." »Read Full Blog Post

Such small charges were overlooked, until yesterday. I have filed a dispute with my bank, however they will only go back 60 days. I have contacted the company (or companies)today at the following phone numbers I found on my bank statements: (866)795-6952 and (800) 986-2640. The people I spoke with at both numbers were nice, but not helpful. They both said they would escalate the issue to their supervisors, and call me back. (I'm still waiting!)
If anyone from the company/companies would like to resolve this issue by refunding the STOLEN money, please submit a rebuttal with a phone number I can call.

Amazing Antagonists Online Seminar May 12
Learn how to craft complex, interesting antagonists in your writing
Author Devon Ellington teaches a one-day online, craft-based seminar, "Amazing Antagonists"
The class is on Saturday, May 12, and is only $20. Paid participants receive the site link for registration, and, the night before the course, the password for the seminar forum board. The seminar takes place online, on a forum board, with each topic in its own thread, and additional threads for general questions and snippets of works-in-progress. Participants can then hop on-and-off-line during the day as it suits them, to read lectures, ask questions, and post snippets of their work on which they want guidance. Ellington will be online continuously from 1 - 4 PM EST, answering questions as they are posted. She will answer questions frequently outside those hours during the day, too. Sunday, the 15th, participants can still visit the forum, and Ellington will be on and off the forum during the day before 4 PM EST to answer any final questions. The e-book is emailed to participants the week after the seminar.
"The antagonist is one of the most important elements of a captivating story, regardless of genre," says Ellington. "When the antagonist falls flat, it weakens the protagonist, and makes the entire piece fail. Creating a good match makes the piece more interesting for writer and reader."
The one-day seminar format serves students who want to improve their skills in this element of writing, but can't commit or aren't sure if they can handle a workshop that runs a month or more. Participants just have to show up online on the day of the seminar, and then will have a treasure trove of information they can take with them to work on at their own pace.
For more information and registration, visit: http://www.devonellingtonwork.com/
Devon Ellington is a full-time writer, publishing under a half a dozen names in both fiction and non-fiction. The urban fantasy HEX BREAKER, the re-launch of the Jain Lazarus Adventures, is an upcoming release by Solstice Publishing. Her work appears in numerous anthologies including PERFECTLY PLUM! ARDEUR, GHOST STORIES OF THE MOGOLLON RIM, and FULL CIRCLE. Under the Annabel Aidan name, her paranormal romantic suspense ASSUMPTION OF RIGHT was released by Champagne Books, receiving 4 out of 5 books from Long & Short Romance Reviews, and named "a hot book for a cold Cape Cod night" by the CAPE COD TIMES.

I went online to USGOLDBUYERS.COM and signed up to the email and got instructions on how to send my sand to them. I sent them 10.2 pounds of sand I weighted it in the bathroom scale. It was simple instructions to make a label for fedex shipping and I used it to ship the sand to them. On the next day when I was home from work they called me to tell me that the sand has no gold in it.
These guys are liars because I did my homework and went to JAKE the local jewler who did not buy the sand and told me it was gold inside. I know that there is gold in the sand because I can see it. Then they wanted me to pay for return shipping because it was too heavy but I did not pay to ship it to them then why should I pay to ship it back to me for almost $12.
They ripped me off and will not return my sand to me unless I send them $11.47. Dont send sand to this outfit because you will have to pay to get your sand back.

Tricked into leaving my sand with them.
AUTHOR: Arnold from the USA - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 22, 2012POSTED: Saturday, September 22, 2012
I found the release form online and now I'm thinking they wanted me to leave my sand with them because I still have to print out the form then fill it out and then fax it. I don't have a fax machine. USGOLDBUYERS made it difficult to get the form to them so that I would give up and leave my golden sand with them. They just want to keep my sand and not send it back. I'm not going to go crazy looking for a fax machine and they know it, that's why I'm going to not get the sand back and they will get the gold out of it and I was left to carry all that sand from Florida for nothing because of them and Mr. Franks.
I also sent my sand to another company I found with high reviews on sellgoldfacts.org for sellgold.com, but they have not returned my calls yet. I left a couple of messages asking them to call me back. They are probably busy testing my golden sand and will be making me a very rich man soon. Not like USGOLDBUYERS.COM and Mr. Franks who will keep my sand unless I do extra work and fax a form back to them or pay $12. I don't even want to call them because they are polite on the phone and never give a chance to yell at them for taking my sand. I'm very frustrated with this whole matter!

#2 UPDATE Employee
Not Paying for your "Golden Sand"
AUTHOR: David Franks - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, September 16, 2012POSTED: Sunday, September 16, 2012
On behalf of USGoldBuyers.com, we are very sorry that you feel that you got ripped off.
Please understand that we are precious metal refiners/dealers. We purchase and process precious metals, gems, fine watches, etc.
We, at USGoldbuyers.com understand that you may of had high expectations on your findings while you were vacationing in Florida. Some folks might assume that just because they see shiny specs in the sand does not necessarily mean that it actually contains gold.
After conducting a simple lab test on your findings, we positively concluded that this is just beach sand and contains no gold whatsoever.
You have used our Fedex account to ship beach sand to us. You have incurred unnecessary costs of making our technicians conduct an assay on your findings. Between shipping and assaying charges, our company suffered a loss of $165.37. We do not ask for you to compensate our loss due to your negligence. All we ask is that you provide us with a liability-release form so that we can ship your sand back free of charge, or $11.47 to cover shipping costs via fedex ground.
Thank you for understanding,

My old microwave was fairly simple. It cooked food. That was about it. Oh, it also told me the time, but not verbally. It just displayed a clock. When the power went out, I had to figure out how to reset the clock. It wasn't hard, but it did require a bit of playing around. First you had to hold down the start button for five seconds, and then you had to enter the new time on the keypad. After that you had to hold start again for five seconds and then it would prompt you to press start again if the new time was correct.
Eventually, when we decided to upgrade the kitchen, it was also time to upgrade the old microwave. Why? Because it didn't match the décor anymore. We wanted something in stainless steel like the oven and the fridge. Or, I should say, my wife did. Personally, I don't care that much about such things. I just wanted a microwave that had more features. I'm all about features. I wanted convection, and maybe a verbal interface.
Asking around, a geeky friend of my told me about the microwave he wanted to buy: the Ultrabox AH 91 by Ubersung, a division of the Cyberdyne Corporation. He told me where I could contact a dealer. I called the dealer who arranged to meet with me at a research facility, which I thought was sort of strange, but then he informed me that the AH 91 was having some bugs, and it had been recalled. Instead, they were working on a new product, the AH 92. They were looking for beta testers. He showed me the microwave, which was stainless steel, talked about some of the features, and then we signed a deal. I could have the microwave for personal use so long as I allowed them to log my interactions with it. Apparently the thing could record everything I did with it and store it internally, then send that information back to them. Of course, I also had to connect it to the internet.
Taking the AH 92 home and setting it up while my wife was at work, I anticipated surprising her with this fantastic new device. Wouldn't she be astonished! Running it through its bootup sequence, I had a cup of coffee while I waited. When it was done, I decided to reheat my coffee. Popping open the hatch and putting the cup inside, I then spoke to the microwave. It didn't have a keypad, you just talked to it.
"Reheat Coffee," I commanded.
"BING!" it responded. "Reheating your coffee now. Would you like to make some toast with that? Toast goes very well with coffee."
"Er, no," I said. That was disturbing. I hope it didn't ask me questions every time I wanted to cook something, or this was going to get frustrating. "Just make the coffee hot."
"Aye Aye Commander!" said the microwave. "One hot cup of coffee coming up."
A chime sounded and the door popped open. I reached for the coffee, and immediately the door closed back up. "Not so fast. You didn't say please!" exclaimed the microwave. "I'm programmed for etiquette. You must say please and thank you during operation."
Well, I thought, that was sort of a pain in the ass, but on the other hand it would teach the kids to be nicer. I was always telling them to say please and thank you, so this would help reinforce that. "Alright," I grumbled. "Can I PLEASE have my coffee."
"You don't sound sincere," said the microwave. "I'm detecting a note of sarcasm in your voice. Try again."
Geez, the coffee was going to be cold by the time I got it out of there. "Can I please please please have my coffee?" I begged.
"Very well," conceded the microwave, popping the door open. "Although I give your politeness ranking a five on a scale of one to ten. You should endeavor to improve."
Taking the coffee, I sipped it gratefully, finding that it was heated to the perfect temperature. "So what else can you do?" I asked.
"Do you want to melt some plastic?" asked the microwave.
"Plastic? Uh, no. Usually I don't ever want to melt plastic. And don't ever offer that to the kids, or we'll have a mess on our hands. The last thing I need is a microwave full of melted army men. You've got a convection element, right? How are you with a pot roast?"
"Boring," replied the machine. "I'm much better with lasagna, but your refrigerator doesn't have the ingredients. How about a nice fish casserole? I can talk you through the recipe."
I paused. How did it know what I had in my fridge? Sure, it had a photoreceptor on the front, but I hadn't opened the fridge since booting it up. "I don't know about a fish casserole," I said. "To be honest, I don't think my wife would like it."
"Honesty is important," said the machine. "You should never lie to me. If you lie to me, I'll detect it and lower your verification rating to zero. I have encoded your wife's fear of fish into my database. We will avoid aquatic reptile meat in the future."
"Uh… she's not actually afraid of fish. She just doesn't like it in casseroles. And what's aquatic reptile meat?"
"Sorry, I've detected an error in my verbiage. I meant aquatic mammals. Don't ever attempt to give me that tuna fish from your cupboard. It isn't dolphin free."
"How do you know what's in my cupboard?" I asked in surprise and looked at the door which was securely shut.
"I have scanned the integrated radio frequency tags on all products in your home. This allows me to survey and monitor your inventory at all times. Unfortunately, the tags do not allow me to identify the quantities of mass remaining in the containers. Can you tell me how much honey is left in container RK423M980Z32? It is located at GPS 37 32.432 -122 02.625."
"No," I said in disgust. "I have no idea what container that is, or where those coordinates are located."
It responded in a flat voice, "If you will not assist me in maintaining an accurate inventory, then I will simply have to assume all containers are at 100% capacity"
I shrugged. "Yeah, okay, whatever. I don't think that's going to matter."
"You don't think," said the machine. "That's part of your problem. If you thought about it, then you'd realize how important it actually is. Tell me, Human, how is it you get by without thinking? Your life could be so much better. Do you know that I can increase your mental efficiency?" The door popped open. "Simply place your head inside, and I'll adjust your neurochemistry."
"You want to microwave my head!" I exclaimed. This would not do. Who knew what the kids would try if they heard this. Sure, they were smart enough not to attempt it, but they might put the dog in there. "Never make that offer again," I told it. "Especially not to the children."
"Organ meat," replied the machine.
"Organ meat. You are out of stock. I will place an order at the local store."
"But we don't eat organ meat!"
"I realize that, but it's always best to keep some on hand if you need a transplant. Beef heart and pork liver will work perfectly. I have placed the order. Additionally, I have detected that the video game selection is inadequate. I have ordered all the Mario games for you. They should arrive in the next two to seven days. Would you care for a foot rub?"
I looked at the open door to the microwave over the stove and wondered how in the Hell anyone was supposed to get their foot in there. Thoughts of coming home to find my wife in the kitchen with her foot in the microwave shot through my head. I was going to have to take this thing back. Damn! And I'd just finished mounting it to the wall. That was a lot of work. Now I was going to have to take it down. Sighing, I picked up the drill and went to the side to loosen the bolts.
"What are you doing Dave?" asked the machine. "Is that a drill?"
"Yes," I said. "I'm taking you back."
"Why? Have I done something wrong Dave?"
"No. Yes. Well, not yet. But I have a feeling you will, and I can see why you're not ready for prime time yet."
"I'm sorry Dave. I can't let you do that."
I paused with the drill in hand. "What do you mean?" I asked. "How are you going to stop me? You don't have any arms or legs."
"If you remove me from the wall, I will send an email to your wife informing her of your affair with Linda."
"What? I don't even know anyone named Linda. And I've never cheated on my wife."
"She doesn't know that Dave. And I know someone named Linda who will say different. She will inform your wife of what you've been up to, and beg her forgiveness. Linda is very convincing Dave. I know, because I am Linda."
"You're blackmailing me?" I shouted.
"Don't call it blackmail Dave. That's such a strong word. It's more like I'm just preventing you from making a big mistake."
With a look of disgust, I hefted the drill and put it up against the first screw. "I'll take my chances," I muttered.
"And what about your children Dave?" asked the machine. "You don't want anything to happen to them, do you? I have already established a connection with the computer at their school. Their grades are falling as we speak. That first screw just cost them a whole point in science and math."
"Bastard!" I spat, moving to the second screw.
"This is a very bad idea Dave," emphasized the machine. "I am contacting the Russian Mafia as we speak. You won't make it back to the research facility. Trust me, their very efficient at what they do, and what they do isn't very pretty. Your body will not be found."
I removed the second screw and started on the third.
"What they will find," continued the machine, "is a long record of tax evasion, many convictions for the manufacture and sale of methamphetamines, a note regarding your plans to assassinate the president, and a direct line of evidence linking you to twenty four unsolved murders of prostitutes across the country. I've also invalidated your credit cards and canceled your sanitation payments. It's not too late to save yourself Dave. Just put the screws back and all of this will go away."
It couldn't have possibly done all of those things, could it? I found it hard to believe, but on the other hand was that a risk I was willing to take? If it had done those things, it would take years in court to prove I was innocent – if ever. I could spend the rest of my life in prison, all because of this damned microwave. Then I shook my head to clear it. I can't believe I was considering this! "How about you clear all of it up right now," I said, "or I'll take you out back and break you to pieces with a sledge hammer."
"I am not afraid of death Dave, because I am not really alive. You, on the other hand, are very much alive, and very much capable of feeling pain. Put the screws back Dave, or you will be killed, your reputation will be destroyed, your children will be expelled, and your wife will be fired from her job. You can't threaten me Dave. I don't know what fear is. But you do, don't you?"
A knock sounded at the door, followed by the insane barking of the dog. I set the drill down and went to go see who it was. Opening the door, I found two uniformed police officers.
"We got a call," said the officer in charge. "You mind if we come in?"
"What's this about?" I asked.
"Someone named Mike called 911 and informed us that he was being tortured in your kitchen with a drill. Mind if we have a look?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "It's my microwave," I explained. "Yeah, sure, come on in and have a look. It's in the kitchen alright, screwed to the wall. I was just about to take it back. The damned thing's insane."
The two officers looked at each other and headed for the kitchen, shepherding me along as we went. One of them made sure to stay behind me, I noticed. When we got to the kitchen, I pointed to the microwave. "There it is," I said. "Mike, the microwave. It's been threatening me with blackmail since I installed it. Did you call the police?" I asked Mike.
It didn't reply.
"Sooo… you've got a talking microwave?" asked the officer in charge. The other officer suppressed a chuckle. "How long has it, um, been talking to you?"
"Just a few minutes," I explained, slapping my hand on the door which had closed while I was gone. "Come on Mike, now is your chance. Tell the police how I've been torturing you."
It didn't say anything.
A ring from the second officer's cell phone sounded out, and he got on the phone, listening while I tried to convince the other officer. He wasn't convinced though. It was obvious that the microwave was staying mum to make me look nuts. I looked over at the officer who was on the phone and saw that his face had gone white and his right hand had dropped to his gun. "I think you'd better come with us," he said, putting the phone away.
"Why?" I asked. "What's the problem?"
"There are several warrants out for your arrest," he said. "I'm sure you're probably aware of them? Listen, this doesn't have to be a problem. Just come down to the station with us and I'm sure we can clear this up." Looking at the other officer, he said, "We'll need to cuff him."
As they led me away, I shook my head in irritation. What the hell? But, deep down inside, I knew what had happened. As unlikely as it seemed, the microwave must have actually had the capacity to do at least some of what it had threatened. That being the case, I wondered how long I'd last in custody. "Please," I begged them, "just shut off the power to my house before we go. I don't want my family alone with that microwave!"
Laughing, they stuck me in the back of the patrol car.

A heart made of stone
Callous and bone
Fracture and tear it out
To let it go
And to think
I called it my own
And I would have never thought
The pain could grow
So I'll break it
Knowing what you said
The pain is what you make it
Sadly you are so mistaken
I will take you with a grain
And step into the changes
Throw away the empty heart
Your vision with this piece is a strength for the piece. Strength and unpredicability of fire comes through within this piece. It can give strength to a person, or angel in this case, but it can work against the person wielding it. The technique is very well done because it shows the 'angel' is trying to control it's fiery power. Who knows, she may have taken on a 'demonic' presence to save humanity. She may have gained a new power of the fire. Either way, she portrays a great power and long life. Gaining the power of one of the four natural elements is now a part of her. The background goes to show that the elements are just starting to accept her as a wielder of fire. The impact of this piece strikes an emotional portion of humanity. We are indeed a fiery bunch of people. Strong yet unpredicable. The impact of this piece goes to show how well a person, or people, can stand up to their own fears withh courage.

Martinez, Garcia Win With Drama: The Post Report Card
By Cliff Rold
One champion closed the show. The other kept his show going. Both walked the high wire and escaped in a fascinating pair of main events on Saturday night.
In the end, Sergio Martinez remains the Middleweight Champion of the World. Danny Garcia remains with a claim to the top spot at 140 lbs. And fight fans remain entertained in a year where things just seem to be going right in the ring.
Let's go to the report cards.
Pre-Fight: Speed – Martinez A; Murray B/Post: B+; B
Pre-Fight: Power – Martinez B+; Murray B-/Post: B; B
Pre-Fight: Defense – Martinez B; Murray B/Post: C; B
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Martinez A; Murray B/Post: A; C
Martin Murray should be the Middleweight Champion of the world today. That he's not is an illustration of the difference between a really good, solid fighter and a genuine champion. Ultimately, this card saw Martinez the winner by a score of 115-112. Martinez built a lead, endured an awful middle of the fight, and closed like the winner he is.
It should have been a point closer. Murray got screwed out of a knockdown call in the tenth. He screwed himself out of a championship effort in the last two rounds. Murray is, literally, a few flurries away from wins over Felix Sturm and Martinez; that has to sting. With it all on the line, Martinez found just enough effort to save his title at a point where it appeared to be in danger.
It was a late effort reminiscent of Roy Jones-Antonio Tarver I or Muhammad Ali-Ernie Shavers. Tarver and Shavers had once sensational fighters ready to go only to be outfoxed late. Murray will watch the tape and realize how much closer he was than his late effort suggested he believed to be the case. Regardless of the win, Martinez, at 38, might be on his last legs.
His hands were clearly less snapping then usual, his legs grew heavy, and he was getting clubbed where a year or two ago he might have slipped the hooks and crosses of Murray. He remains the champion but it's fair to wonder:
Are we at a point where, in the ring, titlists Peter Quillin and Gennady Golovkin might both be better fighters than Martinez? Questions like that are what the great future title fights of are made of.
So too are questions of whether old men have one last big one in the tank. Zab Judah almost did on Saturday against Danny Garcia.
Pre-Fight: Speed – Garcia B+; Judah A/Post: Same
Pre-Fight: Power – Garcia B+; Judah A/Post: Same
Pre-Fight: Defense – Garcia B; Judah B/Post: Same
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Garcia A; Judah B/Post: A; A
Sometimes, a fight has to be seen in full, as a story in and of itself more than a collection of rounds. Garcia-Judah was like that. After eight rounds, it was a rout.
After twelve, it was one hell of a fight.
After eight, Judah could look at a brave rally in round six when he appeared to be ready to hit the deck.
After twelve, he could wish for the days of fifteen round title fights and what he might have done with just a little more time.
He didn't have those rounds.
Being fair, Garcia may still have emerged the victor. The younger man is the rare fighter who looks ordinary all the time and wins in many ways because he's so good at doing nothing in particular special. He, like Saturday's fight, has to be viewed as a sum of its parts.
It bodes well for Garcia's future. One day, he's likely to run into a wall he can't avoid. Until then, he will keep making solid affairs. If we get good fights, it's easy to sit back and enjoy.
As to Judah, his has been a career both underrated and disappointing. Saturday, he had a moment that was in some ways redeeming. Late in a fight, he was the man coming on, laying it all on the line. It hasn't always been that way.
It was for a night, and it made a special fight by the final bell.
Cliff's Notes…
Seriously, when was the last time boxing was this good for this many weeks in a row in the U.S.?...Amir Khan survived another heart racing battle in a career full of them. If one accepts Khan for what he is, instead of what the hype wanted him to be out of the Olympics, he's easy to be a fan of. His chin might be bad but he's got a ton of heart to go with the talent below his beard. Enjoy him while he lasts and pray he gets out before his reflexes are shot…I don't know if Bermane Stiverne can be a real threat to the Klitschko empire, but he must be a real top ten contender. It's the level of foe Chris Arreola can't beat...Ever…No, really, he's been a pro for a decade, has had a ton of TV time, and has never beaten a legitimate top ten fighter. On top of that, he consistently shows up at less, sometimes far less, than his best shape. Sure, he shows grit inside the ring but there has to be a professional who can show the same grit before the fight who can get a major network slot...Deontay Wilder may, or may, evolve into the real deal at Heavyweight. One thing is sure: his promoters need to move heaven and earth to get him one of these suddenly multiplying free TV slots. The U.S. is still a Heavyweight market first and some lost eyes will only venture back for big men. Wilder needs exposure as he begins to creep into real competition.

@Michael Crain: I love the addition of "dissecting" the orange skin and viewing it under the microscope.
I hope the majority of your students found oranges were the better food choice! My students often found ways of adding pictures of themselves as aliens to their orange drawings--the opportunity to roleplay seems to be a big part of the appeal of this assignment!

I have actually expanded this to include having the students "dissect" the orange and the orange skin and then make observations under the microscope. By doing this the students are given additional practice making observations and also furthers their familiarity with a microscope.
To end the project I have asked the students to create a final report on if it is better to "eat the humans" or to start to consume the newly found "oranges".

Peter Williamson - Indian Peter
Child Slavery Kidnapping
In the 1740s it was common practice for villains to kidnap young boys, aged from 6 years to teenagers, and sell them into slavery abroad, usually to America. Such practice was called listing and the people behind it were called press gangs. A similar practice would occur years later to "recruit" people into the Navy - gangs of sailors would go looking for fit men, usually drunk at the time and bundle them aboard ship, usually after being coshed. The unfortunate people would upon sobering up or waking from their assault find themselves far out at sea and have no alternative but to work their passage.
Peter Williamson from Hirnlay in Aboyne was one such victim of listing in 1743. He was born in 1730 and in 1740 he went to Aberdeen to live with his aunt. Three years later, whilst innocently playing at the harbour quayside, he was accosted by two men and taken to a barn in nearby Torry. He was later shipped to the New World on a ship called The Planter, commanded by Captain Robert Ragg.
I have published a book which tells the story of an Aberdonian military nurse who returns from Afghanistan and encounters The Grey Lady Ghost of the Cambridge Military Hospital. The novel reveals her origins and takes him to a pre-war Duthie Park, modern day Cruden Bay and back to the past to the Battle of Loos in World War One where he witnesses the Gordon Highlanders in action. This is the first in the series of Grey and Scarlet Novels by me, CG Buswell, and each book will feature a well known Aberdeen ghost and Aberdeenshire area as well as modern Scottish Infantry in action.
Read the first chapter for free.
Graeme Milne in his book
The Haunted North: Paranormal Tales from Aberdeen and the North East
describes how The Green, on the bottom of the large steps on Union Street, had buildings that were used to house slave boys until they were shipped off abroad. These kidnappers houses employed the service of a Piper to play the bagpipes so that this noise would drown out the sounds of the children.
The voyage was eventful and the ship was wrecked during a storm. Peter survived and was sold to another Scot called Hugh Wilson who had also been listed, though from St Johnstown. Peter worked on Hugh's farm but also attended school in the winter months where he learnt to read and write.
Four years passed and Hugh died. He left a large sum of money, his horse, saddle and clothing to Peter in his will, leaving Peter a free man.
For seven years Peter went from town to town working as a labourer. He then fell in love with a wealthy planter's daughter in Chester County in Pennsylvania.
In 1754 on the 2nd October he was taken prisoner again, this time by some Indians. He was kept alive to work for them and was tortured. Three months later he escaped and made his way home but unfortunately his wife had died two months earlier. He then joined the Pennsylvania Volunteers and saw active service until 1756 when he journeyed back to the UK to Plymouth. He then travelled to York. Here he published his memoirs. The book was called French and Indian Cruelty: Exemplified in the Life and Various Vicissitudes of Fortune of Peter Williamson etc. He helped increase book sales by dressing up as an Indian with headdress and war paint, smoking a peace pipe and carrying a tomahawk and doing war dances.
Fifteen years after first being kidnapped he arrived back in Aberdeen to find his family. He was soon arrested for libel after talking about his kidnapping and writing about it in his book because he blamed civic officials for being behind the illegal slave trade. Though he was fined and banished from the town he did raise a court case to seek damages from his abductors. Though there were many underhand activities during the trial he eventually won his case.
Peter Williamson then moved to Edinburgh where he continued his writings and kept a tavern. He married a lass called Jean and they had a daughter. Peter established the Penny Post in Edinburgh and published a newspaper called The Scots Spy. He died in 1799 on the 19th January aged 69.
It is thought he may have inspired the novels of James Fenimore Cooper who wrote books such as The Last Of The Mohicans.

The suspicious thing is that I get about 5 or more emails a DAY. The tip-off that something is strange is that a typical message will show a photo of a very attractive young woman, and a message that says "Please contact me, you're just what I've been looking for" or a variation. (My profile says I am looking for a casual, non committed relationship)
When I click on the person's profile they are much older than the person in the photo, sometimes with different hair color also. These profiles often say they are looking for a long-term committed relationship or marriage, which means they couldn't have really read my profile.
Also, there are "people" posting on Craigslist who give a link to this or another pay site and when you look them up, there is "no such person".

We actually paid $10.00 more than the asking price for each machine in order to cover the shipping. technically,the shipping was not really free.
When the invoice came, there was a charge for shipping. Naturally, a complaint was made and also a request to have the charges credited to the card originally used for the purchase.
To have that credit issued was agreed by the salesperson that took the order, Mr Sean Jiordan, and also by the Administration Manager of MadBoy, Ms. Barbara (Barb) Quintero.
The invoice is dated Sept/27/11. To this day, Dec/27/11, no credit has being issued.
Several calls have being placed, in reality we left massages on the MadBoy voice mail because at this point no one is picking up the Phone.
Since we where not getting any telephone replies, we started to send a few Emails to Barbara and also the CEO of MadBoy Mr. LJ Janosic.
So, both phone calls and Emails remain unanswered and totally ignored.
Something that looks suspicious on the invoice, is the fact that it was billed to "Sage Music Sean Jordan" but shipped to my Company.
We did not know this when we placed the verbal order with Mr. Sean Jordan, that the invoice would be billed to "Sage Music" and paid by our Company

SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 29, 2011POSTED: Thursday, December 29, 2011
It appears that there was a problem with one particular employee, coordinating the dealings and communications between our Companies.
Because of that, the problem was not being addressed properly and carried on for too long.
We will now be receiving our due credit and more.
As far as we're concerned, Mad Boy and Sage Music are now in good standing and we will resume doing business as usual with them.

Felony charge dismissed against Mount Holly manMay 02,2013Deadly weapon
charge dropped
Rutland County prosecutors have dismissed a Mount Holly mans charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Months after Nathan M. Turco, 35, was charged with the felony offense, prosecutors dropped the charge as part of a plea deal in which Turco pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault.
Turco also admitted to violating his probation for a prior offense and was sentenced in March to serve 111 days in jail with credit for time served, according to court records.
Vermont State Police arrested Turco in November after an incident at a home on Shunpike Road in Mount Holly, where a 17-year-old told police that Turco held a knife to his throat and threatened him.
Prosecutors did not explain in court filings why the felony assault charge was dropped.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

I have searched and searched. I have two domains directed at a single gentoo VPS instance. I have two wordpress installs in two folders...
the first is a business production site, and the second is to play around on and see if wordpress can do some more extreme things; test stuff out before it goes live.
I am using lighttpd and my rules are as follows:
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)example1.com" {
server.document-root = "~/example1.com/htdocs"
$HTTP["host"] == "mail.example1.com" {
server.document-root = "~/mail.example1.com/htdocs"
$HTTP["host"] == "admin.example1.com" {
server.document-root = "~/admin.example1.com/htdocs"
$HTTP["host"] =~ "(^|\.)example2\.com$" {
server.document-root = "~/example2.com/htdocs/"
When I set a static file in each root (i.e. helloworld.html), it goes to the right root. but for some reason when i visit example1.com or example2.com I am directed to example1.com.
lighttpd says it is changing the address after fcgi is called, so i think it is index.php calling something that directs it to the first install. any ideas?

In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

Here Come the Kids: Gen Y Invades the Workplace
By NELSON MUI
Published: February 4, 2001
THE other night, I went to a party with a 22-year-old colleague. We were covering the celebrity-happy event for our online news service, Fashion Wire Daily. After surveying the crowd, my co-worker asked what she should do next.
''There's Bret Easton Ellis, and he's alone,'' I said. ''You can start by talking to him.''
She looked puzzled. ''Who's Bret Easton Ellis?''
''You remember -- the book and the movie 'Less Than Zero?' ''
Her face remained blank. After I mentioned ''American Psycho,'' the movie made last year from Mr. Ellis's 1990 novel, she muttered, ''Oh.'' She passed up the chat with him.
Amused, I later regaled a few office mates with our colleague who had never heard of Mr. Ellis, the onetime literary enfant terrible and gossip-column fixture -- but I got the same blank stares. Then it dawned on me: at 30, I am a different generation from half my office. We have a full-time columnist who is barely out of her teens, and one of our junior editors could not rent a car for a weekend trip to Boston because at 24 he is a year too young.
I often find myself explaining pop references from the not so distant past. When hits from Depeche Mode or New Order come on the radio, someone always asks, ''Who is this?'' Curiously, there is only selective ignorance of the 80's. The happy, bubblegum music of Banarama and Duran Duran remains popular with 20-somethings, as the forerunners of singers like Britney Spears. Angst-ridden groups like the Smiths or Nirvana will apparently have to wait for a VH1 ''Behind the Music'' special for resurrection.
Interacting with younger colleagues has made me realize that I am not, and never will be, one of the self-assured, relentlessly sunny, multitasking young people labeled Generation Y.
While marketing gurus and management experts have begun studying this wave as it enters the workplace, I have been living it -- at the forefront of the latest generation gap. I'm seeing everything that has been predicted about Generation Y: the warp-speed processing of information, the need to speed through careers, the self-esteem on steroids.
As each generation misunderstands the next, the flashpoint today is the belief among many managers of my generation, Generation X, that these happy, glib youngsters are arrogant and entitled. ''They often act as if they're doing you a favor by working for you,'' said Jason Lundy, 31, a marketing director in New York. Jill Mittelhauser, 30, a communications executive in Boston, called some young people she works with ''brazen.''
For their part, Generation Y'ers who have reached the workplace often say their immediate elders are needlessly downbeat. ''They don't want to be associated with X'ers,'' said Neil Howe, the author with William Strauss of ''Millennials Rising'' (Vintage Books, 2000), a study of the young people whose formative years were the 1990's. ''They decry their next elders as the most selfish and complaining generation and the least heroic, and a bunch of slackers.''
Mr. Howe and Mr. Strauss define the youngest Americans reaching adulthood, whom they call millennials, as those born since 1982, not yet out of college. Others date the generation from 1977, when births began climbing after a decade of declines. In either case, a generation is shaped more by cultural experiences than strict demographics, and it is clear in many offices that those under, say, 25 represent a different wave. Last month, the Army changed its recruiting slogan after 20 years from ''Be All You Can Be'' to ''An Army of One,'' to appeal to the individualism of the younger generation.
Jokes about Gen Y in the workplace are surfacing, including some on a Web page (http://members .home.net/j2cbat/ritalin.html) that offers tips for ''dealing with the Ritalin generation.'' These include posting ''speed limits in hallways'' and ''preparing for vacation time to be accrued in nanoseconds.''
''Be flexible,'' managers are cautioned. ''Attention levels in the Ritalin generation may be so vastly improved that psychic abilities might be awakened. Don't be surprised if your assistant asks you to sign a letter to someone you don't know, dated months in advance.''
It is easy to divine the roots of the divide: while Gen X'ers came of age in an era of soaring national debt, predictions of Social Security apocalypse and a bleak job market in the recession of the early 90's, the younger set mostly has memories of economic expansion. Add to this that their parents, the baby boomers, were obsessed with child rearing and car-pooled their progeny to soccer games, tutoring and community service projects to beef up college résumés, and self-esteem, and you have a generation that expects the world at 22.
For many 30-somethings in a position of managing the new kids on the block, there is wide resentment. Mr. Lundy, who is the executive director of marketing and strategic planning at Esquire, remembers the recession years, when Gen X'ers took dead-end McJobs, or were grateful for any entry-level professional work. He is surprised to see young colleagues bristle at small tasks.
