I waited till end of month for billing conveince & confirmed offer over the phone using my cell(NOT Verizon) to see if offer could be met over the phone-I was YES with NO other conditions or add on's mentioned.
This is when the billing circus started-1st mon $0-next month $45.99-figured it was a combo of 2 months - called for clarification & was told wait 2 months for promotions to be applied-when I checked back billing was still complicated.
Now I check and it's up to $57-along with months previous-called Ann at customer service & was told" They had no record of me placing the original order, no record of 2nd Phone call for billing inquiry-the "EXTRA" charges were for un-wanted services buried in the fine print. Problem was NOT resolved, so either someone at Verizon messed up OR I'm being treated as a LIAR.
Lesson Learned-If you believe the Advertising & Trust Verizon,be prepared to stay vigilant-record any conversations for your own "Quality assurance" and if there's a problem-get screwed and join a long list of unhappy customers.

Months later. after better vigilance on my part, I notice rather than a TOTAL upfront price fix, some of the difference was applied to pending balances thereby keeping me as a customer-shrewd business or manipulative customer service?
This still leaves a bad taste in my mouth & I would be hesitant in using ANY of Verizon's services again BUT they still have the lowest rate at this time - a 50/50

Why does Abin Sur needs a spaceship?
One aspect of Hal Jordan's comic book origin that never made any sense was why Abin Sur was in a spacecraft that crashed on Earth. As a Green Lantern he should be able to fly through space and survive all sorts of trauma. The reasoning for his journey at the beginning of the "Green Lantern" movie is that Sur is on a mission to help evacuate a planet of its lifeforms who live underseas. He needs his gigantic cathedral-like spacecraft to bring them to safety. As eventually depicted in the trailers (although considered a "spoiler" at the time of our visit), Parallax attacks Abin's ship and in the process mortally wounds him and infects him with the Parallax virus (see Hector Hammond later on in this gallery). Abin is able to escape into an escape pod (inspired by a Leonardo da Vinci design) and make his way to the nearest sentient planet which just happens to be Earth.

According to Chinese medicine mushrooms promote longevity, improve health, and prevent from cancer as well. Mushrooms are widely popular worldwide as they contain healthy properties and nutrients. When it comes to Traditional Chinese Medicine, mushrooms play a vital role as they have been used for curing many disorders for thousands of years. Chinese people discovered more than 200 species of mushrooms with their healing properties.
On the whole, all kinds of mushrooms possess cleansing properties. As they contain a substance which is generally called Germanium. In fact, it is a nutrient that helps boost the oxygen efficiency within the body. Otherwise, germanium helps counteract the body's exposure to environmental toxins by increasing the body's ability to fight sickness.
Another fascinating property of medicinal mushrooms is a substance called Polysaccharides. This enables mushrooms to boost the immune system and fight the growth of swellings.
There are three types of traditional Chinese mushrooms: Shiitake, Reishi and Maitake. They have tumor-fighting facilities as they contain a high proportion of pantothenic acid, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, vitamins B, C, and vitamin K.
The Shiitake mushroom is probably one of the most popular mushrooms in traditional Chinese medicine well known as a stimulant that improves circulation, prevent strokes and boost health as well.
Shiitake mushrooms have the substance named lentinan which has capabilities to treat chromosomal damage determined by common anti-cancer treatments. Moreover, they contain a mixture called eritadenine in medicine. That can be a good helper in reducing cholesterol by facilitating fat growth.
An additional beneficial substance found in shiitake mushrooms is lentinula edodes mycelium (LEM) which fight hepatitis, heart disease, hypertension, infectious diseases, cancer.
Apart from their healing effects, mushrooms also have several side effects such as: skin irritation and diarrhea. Additionally, for those who are taking blood thinners is strictly recommended to consult a doctor before using mushrooms, mentioned above.
Firstly, Reishi mushrooms have huge verities of healing medicines, used for curing heart and prostate cancer. Secondly, they can also be efficient in preventing cancer or fighting malady.
On a large scale, Reishi mushrooms are used in the traditional Chinese medicine as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment. Reishi mushrooms have the ability to control metabolism and fight swelling growth as well as cure heart malady, arthritis, and muscular dystrophy. In fact, Reishi mushrooms contain mixtures that can produce a calming effect and promote sleep.
Maitake mushrooms are famous in TCM for their ability to improve health and strength. Moreover, they enhance the immune system and stop tumefaction growth.
For those who are infected by AIDS virus Maitake mushrooms can help to improve their blood sugar levels. Furthermore, these mushrooms help reduce high blood pressure and be a good helper in handling physical and emotional stress levels.
What is more, most Maitake mushrooms are available both as a vegetable and as supplements.
On the whole, Shiitake, Maitake and Reishi mushrooms have all been discovered not only as a valuable food but also one of the best remedy with miraculous healing properties.

Posts Tagged 'marbled murrelet'
by Robin Meacher, Cascadia Wildlands' Wildlands Campaign Director
The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) continues to forge ahead with the sale of the 93,000-acre Elliott State Forest located east of Coos Bay. While conservation groups, school children, recreationists and hunters and anglers continue to enjoy the Elliott for the host of opportunities it offers, Cascadia Wildlands continues to see Big Timber and equity investors show increased interest in becoming the new owner of this incredible coastal forest.
The potential transfer of ownership raises red flags for both conservation and public access. The Elliott provides some of the highest quality habitat remaining in the Oregon Coast Range for the imperiled marbled murrelet and endangered salmon. The murrelet is a coastal sea bird that nests exclusively in old-growth forest and its presence on the forest has greatly reduced the amount of logging that can take place in the Elliott.
The previous sale of three parcels of the Elliott resulted in immediate closure with "No Trespassing" signs posted to keep the public out. The sale of the entire Elliott to timber interests will likely result in similar access being restricted thereby blocking the public from visiting a substantial portion of this coastal gem.
Cascadia Wildlands' Endangered Species Act lawsuit on the Elliott in 2012 and our current lawsuit challenging the the disposal of the 788-acre East Hakki parcel have legal implications that are being downplayed by the DSL throughout the current ownership transfer process. We recently submitted a letter to interested parties in the Elliott sale process to explain the complex legal issues and to augment the lack of information on the legal history provided by DSL. With ESA protections for the murrelet on the forest and our alleged illegality of selling the majority of the Elliott, the sale process designed by DSL likely creates uncertainty for investors. Cascadia Wildlands and partners continue to engage the State in this process and advocate for protection of the outstanding public and conservation values on the forest. We've crafted a petition to Governor Kate Brown asking her to ensure the forest stays in public ownership. As a member of the State Land Board, the body that gave the green light to the sale process, the Governor can stand up for Oregon's public lands and keep the Elliott in public hands. Stay tuned as well for two public hikes hosted by Cascadia Wildlands this spring.

State Starts Process of Hunting up Buyer for Elliott State Forest
Associated Press, by Jeff Barnard
December 9, 2014
The state of Oregon is looking for an unusual buyer for Elliott State Forest — someone willing to pay a good price, respect the needs of threatened fish and wildlife, and leave areas open to hikers and hunters.
At a meeting Tuesday, the State Land Board directed its staff to develop a proposal to elicit offers from public or public-private entities to buy the 90,000-acre forest in the Coast Range.
Parties could include the federal government, a tribe, state agency or local government.
Board spokeswoman Julie Curtis said a purchase proposal could be ready in time for the board's June meeting.
The board — comprised of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer — is looking for a way to maximize forest revenue to benefit schools. But court rulings upholding protections for threatened birds and salmon have stymied timber sales.
Revenue from Elliott State Forest once contributed up to $8 million a year for schools but has turned into a $3 million expense.
Bob Ragon of Douglas Timber Operators said he was disappointed the board did not endorse a proposal from his organization that would keep the forest as a Common School Fund asset while seeking someone to manage it to produce timber for sale and meet environmental laws.
"It could take them a long time to get that sorted out," he said about the board decision to sell the forest. "I don't know how much time they really have."
Josh Laughlin of the conservation group Cascadia Wildlands said the board's choice fit within his group's vision for the forest, decoupling it from the Common School Fund while maintaining conservation value.
He said a potential buyer could be a public land trust — a nonprofit organization that raises money to buy property then turns it over to a public entity.
"I think they have come to the realization that clear-cutting older forest to fund schoolchildren doesn't work any longer," Laughlin said. "They need to get creative to meet their fiduciary mandate and work within the public interest."

State of Oregon Shelves Elliott State Forest Privatization Idea
97% of Public Comment Encourages a Conservation Solution for the Iconic Forest
97% of Public Comment Encourages a Conservation Solution for the Iconic Forest
The State of Oregon has decided against privatizing the Elliott State Forest after receiving overwhelming public comment encouraging a conservation solution for the 93,000-acre state forest located northeast of Coos Bay. 1,147 out of 1,185 comments received during the public process, or 97%, encouraged the Department of State Lands and the Oregon State Land Board to protect the iconic forests for its outstanding water quality, salmon and wildlife habitat, hunting and fishing opportunities and its remarkable ability to store carbon to mitigate climate change.
Instead of privatizing the forest, the Land Board, made up of Governor John Kitzhaber, Secretary Kate Brown, and Treasurer Ted Wheeler, will continue to explore various management alternatives for the Elliott that meet public expectations as well as its Common School Fund and Endangered Species Act mandates. The State Land Board will meet Tuesday, December 9 from 9 am-12 pm at 775 Summer St. NE in Salem to further discuss future management scenarios and has extended the meeting to handle what is expected to be significant public comment.
"The state of Oregon should be given kudos for not privatizing the Elliott as elk hunters would have ultimately encountered "no trespassing" signs instead of open access into this outstanding backcountry," said Ed Putnam with Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. "It is important that as the public process moves forward a balanced plan gets enacted that enhances the forest habitat, and keeps it in public hands."
Earlier this year, the State Land Board voted to dispose of nearly 1,500 acres of the Elliott State Forest and quickly auctioned the acreage off to the timber industry. One timber company has already put up "no trespassing" signs and has vowed to clearcut the forest. The lands were disposed of after conservationists successfully challenged a number of illegal old-growth clearcutting projects on the forest that would have significantly impacted the marbled murrelet, an imperiled sea bird that nests in coastal old-growth forests.
"The table is set to find a lasting solution for the Elliott State Forests that protects its outstanding water quality, salmon and wildlife habitat and recreation opportunities," said Josh Laughlin, Campaign Director with Eugene-based Cascadia Wildlands. "We will continue to work diligently with stakeholders until a plan is in place that safeguards this outstanding rainforest while at the same time meets its Common School Fund obligation."
The Elliott State Forest provides critical habitat for a host of fish and wildlife species teetering on the brink of extinction, including Oregon Coast coho salmon. Recent data provided by state biologists demonstrate that streams originating on the Elliott State Forest play a significant role in coho salmon recovery on the Oregon Coast.
"The cool, clear streams that course through the Elliott provide essential habitat for coho salmon productivity and must be protected to ensure this iconic fish's recovery," said Tom Wolf, Executive Director of the Oregon Council of Trout Unlimited. "A new plan for the Elliott rainforest must entail adequate steam side buffers to protect this outstanding clean water value."
In addition to the public comments submitted into the record, the State Land Board in October held a "listening session" in Coos Bay to hear from community members about the Elliott State Forest. More than 3:1 spoke in favor of a conservation solution for the forest.

"Oregonians should not have to choose between protecting salmon, clean water, and old-growth on the one hand, and logging to fund education on the other," said Rhett Lawrence, Conservation Director with the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club. "Continuing to tie education funding to timber receipts is a failed policy of the past and we need new solutions."
90% of the Elliott State Forest is Common School Fund land, which has a duty to generate revenue to the $1.2 billion fund. Those encouraging the decoupling of old-growth clearcutting from school funding include hunters, anglers, scientists, teachers, recreation enthusiasts and others who have long advocated that leaders in Salem enact a more modernized approach to school funding.

Revenge Forestry: A Flare-up in the Elliott State Forest (an Excerpt)
October 14, 2014
by Jonathan Frochtzwajg, Oregon Business Magazine
When the Eugene-based timber company Seneca Jones made a $1.8 million bid on land in southern Oregon's Elliott State Forest earlier this year, it wasn't a business decision; it was personal. The 788-acre parcel (along with two other parcels in the Elliott) had been put up for auction at the end of 2013.
Just before bidding was scheduled to end, the environmental group Cascadia Forest Defenders sent a letter to Seneca Jones and other Oregon timber companies.

Lawsuit Launched to Protect Threatened Marbled Murrelets From Clearcutting on Liquidated Oregon State Forests
For Immediate Release, June 3, 2014

Lawsuit Launched to Protect Threatened Marbled Murrelets From Clearcutting on Liquidated Oregon State Forests: Logging of Parcels Liquidated from Elliott State Forest Will Harm Marbled Murrelets, Other Wildlife, Water and People
EUGENE, Ore.— Conservation groups filed a notice of intent to sue Seneca Jones and Scott Timber today to prevent the imminent clearcutting of three large parcels of Elliott State Forest lands that were recently sold to these companies. The notice presents evidence that the clearcut logging conducted by both companies will harm federally protected marbled murrelets, seabirds that come inland to nest and breed in mature and old-growth forests. The Endangered Species Act prohibits actions that injure or kill threatened species, including destruction of occupied habitat.
In 2012 Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Audubon Society of Portland initiated a similar lawsuit against the Oregon Department of Forestry for clearcutting occupied murrelet habitat on the Elliott State Forest. The court stopped the logging of occupied mature forest, ultimately forcing the state to cancel 28 timber sales.
"These parcels, which once belonged to all Oregonians, should never have been sold in the first place," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity in Portland. "Now that they've been sold, we're not going to allow them to be clearcut and contribute to the extinction of the unique marbled murrelet."
The Adams Ridge #1, Benson Ridge and East Hakki Ridge parcels are valued at $22.1 million. The state sold them to Seneca Jones and Scott Timber for $4.2 million. Clearcutting the parcels will hurt marbled murrelets by eliminating the trees they need for nesting and by fragmenting the forest, which leads to trees blowing down and increased predation of the birds and their nests.
"This is just irresponsible behavior on behalf of the state and these companies," said Francis Eatherington, conservation director with Cascadia Wildlands. "The state is proceeding with a plan to divest itself of these lands at an outrageous discount with the understanding that these corporations will clearcut these lands in plain violation and disregard for federal law."
Current research on marbled murrelet populations in the Pacific Northwest shows populations are declining every year and continued logging on the three state forests is a likely factor. If the state continues with its divestment of Elliott State Forest lands, this large sanctuary of mature forest will be lost, subjected to harsh clearcutting and pesticide spraying practices of the Oregon Forest Practices Act. Oregon is home to a vital part of the West Coast murrelet population, but if the state does not figure out an effective solution for the Elliott soon, the population declines could worsen.
"It is time for the State to look for real solutions for the Elliott now that it has been forced to abandon decades of unsustainable, illegal logging practices," said Audubon Conservation Director, Bob Sallinger. "Liquidating public lands at bargain basement prices is a non-solution and we are confident that clear-cut logging of the Elliott's old growth forests remains illegal regardless of whether it is conducted by the State or private timber companies.
Recent, certified surveys conducted on all three of these parcels determined they were occupied by marbled murrelets. Although very elusive, the marbled murrelet, when observed below the forest canopy, is demonstrating that it is nesting in that forest stand.
The conservation organizations — Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Audubon Society of Portland — are represented by outside counsel Daniel Kruse of Eugene, Tanya Sanerib of the Center for Biological Diversity, Nick Cady of Cascadia Wildlands, Chris Winter of the CRAG Law Center and Scott Jerger of Portland.
Murrelets Found at East Hakki Land Sale on Elliott State Forest
by the Coos Bay World
May 19
COOS BAY — The new owners of a controversial tract of South Coast forest land auctioned off this spring may face new obstacles to harvesting its timber.
Coast Range Forest Watch, an environmentalist group that conducts marbled murrelet surveys in the Elliott State Forest, says it's recently detected murrelet nesting behavior in the East Hakki Ridge parcel.
The parcel was recently auctioned off to Eugene-based Seneca Jones Timber.
The Department of State Lands cited the declining value of the state's Common School Fund, fed by timber proceeds from the Elliott, as its motivation for the sales.
Forest Watch volunteer Amanda St. Martin said that in order to determine marbled murrelet nesting behavior, surveyors need to witness murrelets flying at or below canopy height in that area.
She said that May 13 and 14, volunteers saw just that.
"Two surveyors on two separate days saw them flying below canopy height," St. Martin said. "That's a pretty good indication that they need that area to nest or to get to their nest."
Logging in identified marbled murrelet habitat in the Elliott was barred in 2012 under a federal district court injunction.
But East Hakki Ridge wasn't covered by that injunction because it had never been surveyed for murrelet nesting activity.
St. Martin said the group is trying to change that.
"We have already submitted the data to Oregon Department of Forestry, Fish and Wildlife and the Department of State Lands," she said.
The East Hakki Ridge is already the subject of a lawsuit filed by Cascadia Wildlands, the Portland Audubon Society and the Center for Biological Diversity.
The groups are seeking to have the parcel's sale to Seneca Jones blocked on the grounds that state law prohibits the sale of state forest lands originally belonging to the federal government.

EUGENE, Ore.— Conservation organizations filed a lawsuit and temporary restraining order today challenging the state of Oregon's disposal of part of the 93,000-acre Elliott State Forest northeast of Coos Bay. The legal complaint submitted by Cascadia Wildlands, Audubon Society of Portland, and the Center for Biological Diversity identified the 788-acre East Hakki Ridge parcel as prohibited by law from being sold.
"Privatizing public land in this case is illegal and a bad deal for Oregonians who cherish these lands for hunting, sightseeing, the clean water they provide, and for the unique fish and wildlife habitat they offer," said Francis Eatherington, conservation director with Cascadia Wildlands. "Instead of being greeted with welcome signs, Oregonians will now be confronted with locked gates and clearcuts."
In 1957 the Oregon legislature enacted a law specifically to prevent this kind of disposal of the Elliott State Forest. ORS 530.450 withdraws from sale any lands on the Elliott State Forest that were national forest lands on February 25, 1913. The East Hakki Ridge parcel, located just south of the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area east of Reedsport, falls within this category. According to the purchase and sale agreement dated April 15, 2014, the Seneca Jones Timber Company bought the parcel for $1,895,000 even though the state of Oregon valued the timber at $5,590,000.
"The state has illegally clearcut the Elliott for decades, and now that it has been forced to stop, it is engaging in an illegal selloff," said Audubon Conservation Director Bob Sallinger. "It is time for the state to look for real solutions that protect the Elliott and address the needs of the Common School Fund."
The privatization scheme is in direct response to a recent successful legal challenge brought by the conservation organizations, which greatly curtailed clearcutting in old-growth forests on the Elliott State Forest, where the threatened marbled murrelet nests. The imperiled seabird is unique in that it flies upwards of 40 miles inland to lay a single egg on a wide mossy limb in the region's remaining older rainforests. Clearcutting of its habitat is the species' primary limiting factor.
"The Elliott State Forest is critically important to the survival of the marbled murrelet, coho salmon, and hundreds of other species. It holds great promise for storing carbon to help insulate both people and wildlife from the devastation of climate change," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center. "It's not in the best interest of Oregonians or the planet to sell the Elliott to the highest bidder to be converted to an industrial tree farm. There's a path forward for the state to protect important habitat and generate revenue for schools in Oregon."
The East Hakki Ridge parcel is one of five forested tracts the Department of State Lands has authorized for privatization. Combined, the parcels consist of approximately 2,700 acres of public land on the west side of the Elliott State Forest. One of the parcels being considered for disposal this fall contains the highest production of Endangered Species Act-listed coho salmon in the Oregon Coast Range, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and also is home to threatened marbled murrelets, according to survey data. And the state of Oregon has just revealed that it will soon be analyzing the possibility of selling off the entire Elliott State Forest.
Conservation organizations continue to urge the State Land Board, made up of Gov. John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown and Treasurer Ted Wheeler, as well as other state leaders in Salem, to pursue a solution for the Elliott that protects the unique forest and keeps it in public ownership while also satisfying the school fund mandate required by these lands.
Cascadia Wildlands and Sound Choices
By Bob Ferris
So much of what we do to keep things wild involves sound—embracing the good ones versus fighting the offensive. For instance, we want wolves howling in the wilderness but don't want to hear the constant lawnmower-motor burping of suction dredge engines in our wild spaces.
Similarly, we much prefer to listen to the wind whistling through tall trees in the Elliott State Forest and the gentle "keer"of marbled murrelets to the rip-snort of a chainsaw. The same is true for rushing waters and waves as opposed to off-highway vehicles and jet boats.
We all have similar catalogues of good and bad sounds. What we hear and experience through our auditory senses seems almost as important as what we harvest in wilderness through our eyes, nose, feet and fingers.
This importance of good sounds is probably why we at Cascadia Wildlands convene so many events over and around music. Good sounds bring us together. Take Pints Gone Wild hosted by Ninkasi Brewery on the first Monday of each month. That gathering is all about good sounds—old favorites, new artists and those making joyful or innovative noise for the wildlands we love. All of them generously donating their time to help us keep it wild.
But it does not end there because we also have special events such as the upcoming one at Luckey's Club on April 12 and our barn-burner (figuratively not literally) Hoedown for Ancient Forests on May 10th.
And it is not just about our own music events. We will also be at the Oregon Country Fair and String Summit again this summer. So please come to these events and tell your friends. There is really no rule out there that says we cannot have major amounts of fun while taking material actions to keep it wild.
Do Not Let the "Timber Witches" Have the Elliott
"Kathy Jones, Seneca Jones' co-owner, said her company didn't bid on the land because her mill needs lumber but because she and her two sisters refused to be bullied by "eco-radical" environmental groups and believed no other timber companies made an offer." Oregonian April 2, 2014
We do not traditionally respond well to ironic comments made by timber industry owners. That is why we thought that we would respond comically to the Seneca Jones sisters calling us and others essentially "environmental bullies" when they buy timber that they claim that they do not need, simply to make a point. Ridiculous actions deserve ridiculous responses.
The only point they have made is that they have enough money to spend it recklessly. So we thought that we would respond with humor appropriate with their attempt to buy bits of the Elliott at pennies on our dollars. (Please click on "movie poster" to the right to get the full effect)
Offensive? Maybe. But we find it offensive for a timber company to ask for more discounted public resources so that they can have additional wherewithal to buy timber they do not need.
"They're elitist environmentalists, they're sent from Washington D.C., they're not about doing anything reasonable," she said. "The hypocrisy is without limit. And we're sick and tired of it in the state." Seneca Jones Co-Owner Kathy Jones in the Oregonian April 2, 2014
Perhaps—judging from the above quote—the sisters think that they have truly enchanted us. That seems like the only logical explanation when you have the plane-flying, horseback-riding, SCUBA-diving sisters calling people living on the economic edge "elitists." And as to being sent from Washington DC, my sense is that these three forget how much time they and their lobbyists spend in our nation's capital and hope that we do also.
The enchantment theory might also explain why the sisters might think that their "vision" for the Elliott expressed so well by this photograph at left of a Seneca Jones clearcut at dawn being sprayed with herbicides by helicopter matches Oregonian's vision for our precious public lands. And for all those out there touting the wildlife habitat benefits of clearcutting, please show me the elk and deer habitat created here or in the photograph at right of a Seneca clearcut and landslide. This is not what we need or want in the Elliott.
"Clearcutting mimics nature," Jones said in an interview. "If these lands are awarded to us, and we maintain them as we do all of our private timberlands, we will be clearcutting and replanting Douglas fir." Timber Company Says It Will Clearcut If It Buys Public Forestland in EarthFix April 3, 2014
And for those who think we are over stating our case, the above quote from Seneca Jones sister Kathy speaks volumes about their scorched earth policy.
Join us and help support our efforts to find a conservation solution that helps all of us and protects some of the last and largest stands of mature, native forest in coastal Oregon.
Three companies bid for timberlands in Elliott State Forest
April 1, 2014
Three companies bid for timberlands in Elliott State Forest: Threats of lawsuits and blockades didn't scare off three timber companies from submitting bids for parcels the state plans to sell in the Elliott State Forest in Douglas and Coos counties.
The Oregon Department of State Lands received five bids for three parcels totaling 1,451 acres by Friday's deadline, the department's assistant director, Jim Paul, said.
The sale is to help offset a deficit growing in the Common School Fund.
All bids met or exceeded the minimum amount, which for the three tracts collectively was about $3 million.
Paul said the bids and names of bidders will not be released while the real estate transaction is pending. "We haven't made any decisions (about) which bids we are accepting," Paul said today. "We would expect it to close by the end of this month unless something unusual happens."
An anti-logging activist group, Cascadia Forest Defenders, last month warned potential bidders that it will physically block logging on land sold on the 93,000-acre forest between Reedsport and Coos Bay. The group said in an open letter to the timber industry that it will send members up trees to prevent logging, and it will not respect property lines, signs or gates.
The group's threat came days after three other environmental organizations warned they will sue any timber company that buys the lands with plans to log. Cascadia Wildlands, Audubon Society of Portland and the Center for Biological Diversity said the tracts contain marbled murrelet habitat and that logging would violate the Endangered Species Act.
Douglas Timber Operators Executive Director Bob Ragon said he didn't know how many companies passed on bidding because of the threats, but some likely considered the potential legal costs. "I am sure it had a chilling effect on the outcome," he said.
Francis Eatherington, Cascadia Wildlands conservation director, said timber companies' interest is logging, which isn't good for the "remarkable and unique place."
Paul said two other parcels in the Elliott totaling 1,300 acres that will be auctioned in the fall will be marketed for conservation because they include marbled murrelet habitat.
"It still means anyone can bid on it, but from a marketing approach, we are going to emphasize that marbled murrelets are present," Paul said. "It just means timber companies are less likely to bid."
State Land Board members Gov. John Kitzhaber, Secretary of State Kate Brown and Treasurer Ted Wheeler in December approved selling 2,728 acres to make up a $3 million deficit in the Common School Fund. Lawsuits filed by conservation groups, including Cascadia Wildlands, have blocked logging in the Elliott, depriving the school fund from its source of revenue.
The state hired Realty Marketing Northwest to conduct the sale. The Portland-based firm began accepting bids Feb. 16. All sealed bids were opened at 5 p.m. Friday. The state is seeking at least $1.82 million for the 785-acre East Hakki Ridge in Douglas County. The other minimum bids are $610,500 for the 353-acre Benson Ridge parcel and $595,000 for the 311-acre Adams Ridge Tract 1 in Coos County. The two tracts that will be auctioned later this year are within the Adams Ridge parcel.
Eatherington said Cascadia Wildlands can't afford to submit bids. "We are an organization that for the most part tries to protect the public lands, and we don't have that kind of money," she said. "We very much hope that someone who has that kind of money that wants to protect the endangered seabird that lives there would buy (it and) protect it."
The timber on the five parcels has been appraised for $22 million, assuming the presence of marbled murrelets, a threatened seabird protected by the Endangered Species Act, doesn't hinder logging. State surveyors and conservation group volunteers last summer reported spotting a marbled murrelet on two tracts in Coos County. A lower appraisal of $4 million was given if timber companies were unwilling to purchase land with marbled murrelet habitat.
"It's unfortunate the state put it up for sale and didn't restrict the sale to conservation groups, and by reducing the price from $22 million to $4 million and admitting the timber couldn't be cut because of the uniqueness and the rarity, and to still fall to the timber industry doesn't make any sense," Eatherington said. •

Man sentenced in four vehicle deaths returns to Vt court
NEWPORT A driver convicted of being responsible for the 1998 deaths of four teenagers is asking a judge to reconsider the sentence imposed for his third probation violation.
Gregory Twofoot, 34, was sentenced to five to 15 years in prison on four counts of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle, fatality resulting.
The Caledonian Record reported a judge ordered him to serve the remainder of his minimum sentence, estimated at 18 months. Now the judge has to decide whether the time frame for a sentence reconsideration has long passed.
Twofoot was driving a vehicle that overturned on Interstate 91 and landed in Cobb Brook, near Newport. Four people died; one passenger survived.

Hotel Monteleone Aims to Break Records
August 15, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Hotel Monteleone, the quintessential New Orleans hotel, is looking to make history in a whole different way. Fittingly, the piece will be made out of Mardi Gras beads, bottle caps, and wine corks. It will depict Life in the French Quarter. Over the next year, Wanger will be traveling with the piece to schools and community centers statewide to work with volunteers on placing more than four million Mardi Gras beads on the art work. The piece will return to the Hotel Monteleone in summer 2015.
The massive art piece titled "Life in the French Quarter" is the latest project of local bead artist Stephan Wanger's Bead Town initiative. The inspiration behind "Life in the French Quarter" is to translate everything that makes New Orleans great into art. Wanger's vision of the piece features a background of iconic New Orleans scenery and a second line of famous local movers and shakers from the past and present including Lena and Louis Prima, Robin Barnes, Tennessee Williams and many more. The free standing 16-panel plywood canvas measures 96 feet wide by 8 feet tall and will be made entirely out of Mardi Gras Beads along with bottle caps and wine corks. Wanger started to prep the canvas by sketching out his vision for the piece in July 2014 and he projects it will take a year to add over four million Mardi Gras beads to complete the project by August 2015.

Did You Know? Ritz Paris
August 8, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
In the early '30s, fashion icon Coco Chanel moved into the Hotel Ritz Paris. She not only brought her luggage, she also brought her own furniture, including a beige suite settee and a chinoiserie folding screen. The suite where she lived for more than 35 years still exists. The 1,670-square-foot Coco Chanel Suite has two bedrooms and a living room and features Coromandel lacquers, Chinese furniture, baroque mirrors, and over-sized sofas with quilting created by Chanel.
But Madame Coco wasn't the only celebrity of the time to call the hotel home. Ernest Hemingway also lived there, and one of the bars is fittingly named in his honor.
The hotel is currently closed for extensive renovations, but is expected to re-open in late 2014 or early 2015.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
stinky Jr., you seem upset. Would you like to continue this investment challenge and possibly redeem yourself or are you just giving up like stinky Sr. did a long time ago? Actually I wouldn't mind picking up pipefitting as a second career. Do you know how much those guys make????
Just a bit less than $100. an hour I believe.
$100 is a little high. Over $50 though.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Skiidady, you are not a serious person, just a #$%$ and insult artist. Waste someone else's time. I'm done with you. You have nothing useful to say.
Well I guess all that leaves is stalking like stinky Sr.? Maybe you guys should form a club.

Sixty days after my credit card was charged, I found numerous complaints in an online forum and called the resort. While the resort had the date reserved, Fun and Sun had not paid the resort for the reservation, so I had no confirmation from the hotel.
I called Fun and Sun, and found exactly what dozens were reporting online: Fun and Sun claimed they "no longer had a contract" with that resort and said they could either refund my money, charge me double to go to that resort, or put me in a different resort with a timeshare pitch requirement. The manager claimed the resort had "just" rejected all of Fun and Sun's reservations" and they were "in the process of notifying" the people involved. (Online posters reported they weren't informed they had no reservation and found out themselves by calling the resort directly just days before their scheduled arrival.)
This was a blatant lie. Hotel representatives confirmed that there was no expired contract and that they still had a large number of reservations on their books that Fun and Sun hadn't paid for. They had no clue Fun and Sun is diverting their reservations to other hotels.
Do not book through this company. While they did refund my money as promised, their tactics are clearly fraudulent and unethical. Note their website: they use Temptation Resort's name, even though they are not affiliated in any way with the resort. In addition, their website says, "One day only sale!" every day. There's a "countdown" on the side that hasn't changed in 2 months!
I was fooled because, on the phone, their representatives seemed competent and professional. Even though warning bells rang at certain points (the website not changing, my first reservation coming through to the wrong resort, and inconsistency regarding the timeshare presentation requirement), the reps were able to explain everything smoothly.

I finally located a number, and called. I was told that I had dialed the wrong number. I asked if this was Westinghouse, and the operator said, "Yes, but this is Westinghouse intercoms. We can't help you." I then asked for a correct number, and the operator didn't know it!
So I'm still sitting here with a no good Westinghouse microwave, and I can't just take it back to the store as it was purchased in another state, and I don't even have the receipt as it was a gift.

Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau Movies & TV
Okay, so Thoreau isn't actually in this movie. But if you want a sense of what Transcendentalist life might have been like in 1860s Concord, then this movie is for you. It's based on the book by Louisa May Alcott, a student of Thoreau's at Concord Academy, and whose father Bronson was a major player in the Transcendentalist movement.
In this short film set in 1847, two impoverished children from the Boston slums stumble upon a strange cabin in the woods near Walden Pond. Its enigmatic resident helps them to see that though they are poor in worldly goods, they are rich in the things that really matter. Guess who it is!
In 1992, 24-year-old Christopher McCandless hiked into the Alaskan outback to live solo off the land. He was heavily influenced by Thoreau and hoped to accomplish in Alaska what Thoreau did on Walden Pond. His story ended tragically. This film is based on that true story.
Ritch Duncan is a comedian from Concord, Massachusetts. In this very short (12 minute) documentary film, he travels back to Concord and visits Walden Pond to see what's left of Thoreau's cabin. (Spoiler answer: Nothing.)
Filmmaker Bruce Merwin's own website calls him the "Father of Transcendental Cinema." We're not sure how many other contenders there are for that title, but his first film tackled Thoreau's experiment at Walden. The film crew camped out at Walden Pond during shooting. The film was panned, and Merwin is working on another one.

|Fire Model Validation ‹ Eight Lessons Learned
|March 06, 2014
|This paper provides a summary of a decade-long effort to verify and validate a variety of different fire models used in the commercial nuclear industry. The lessons learned apply to any industry in which fire models are used in a regulatory context. The two critical lessons are that regulatory authorities need a simple way to quantify the accuracy of the model prediction, and an unambiguous way to assess whether the experiments used for validation are appropriate for the proposed application of the model.

Photos: Huck, Arslan Go To War at Gerry Weber Stadium
Gerry Weber Stadium, Halle, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany - WBO cruiserweight king Marco Huck (35-2-1, 25KOs) won a very close, and some felt controversial, twelve round unanimous decision over former WBA beltholder Firat Arslan (32-6-2, 21KOs). The scores were 115-113, 115-113 and a very unrealistic 117-111. Not everyone was happy with the outcome, with some ringside observers scoring the contest for Arslan. The British broadcasters at BoxNation scored it for Huck by two or three points, but journalist Steve Bunce was in the studio and had it 115-114 for Arslan. BoxingScene had it 116-112 - for Arslan, who fought his heart out.
clear robbery, Arslan won this at least by 3 rounds. Same as always: Another Sauerland hometown decision: Arslan, Troy Ross, Lebedev and so on.Comment by ddangerous on 11-03-2012
I still can't get over how this fight played out. Looks like Huck has yet another rematch in order.Comment by rudy4pl on 11-03-2012

I have been unfourtunate enough to deal with care credit.
To whom it may Concern:
I applied for the Care Credit card through Strax Rejuvenation. I went and was about to do a surgery but because I had high blood preasurre I was not able to, I was howver charged $5400, I called care credit and they said there was nothing they could do, then they said I had to call the merchant. I did, wasted 3 weeks and the merchant said they will refund it all except $575. I was outraged. I told them there was no way I will pay for it since I had no services rendered nor was it explicitelly written in the contracts. I then proceded to call Care Credit and spoke to a rep who said it was my fault i was charged and nothign could be done, that they could send me a dispute form but i will have to make the payments for 90 days until they take it off if they ever do. He was so rude and went on to say ' i already told you three times i wont say it again, iyou already know what to do, if you want to be stubborn go head" Incredible, never in all my life have i been mistreated by a call center. His name was Jeff or jeffrey. Its outrageous. I then spoke to a supervisor I believe her name was Dawn, she was even worse. I think she was ready to bombard me with an attitude and didn't let me finish and said" if you care about your credit you know what to do...then proceeded to say that regulation (--) makes me have to pay and if not they will report me, furthermore she said "if you dont have any other questions I havent answered I will disconect you" I aked her for her name and she said again " i am not going to tell you again, I will disconected you, I dont have time for you"...She then disconnected the call.
I am thrilled at care credit's level of customer service. I have never in my life been treated like this from federally regulated creditor. I expect and apology from care credit and I am sending this letter to their complaint department. I also expetc a resolution for my dispute if not I will follow legal actions or join a class actions. Unlike DAWN, I do no my rights as a consumer and will if i dont recieve an answer directly from Care Credit file a formal notification of complaint alleging numerous violations of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1601) on the part of CareCredit.
If proof is needed for this, The call recording can be researched.
Time contacted 01/23 at around 9:15 pm eastern time.
Yours Truly,
