So it looks like they will continue to get away with this if not by this bank then by another. I also faxed over a copy of the "fake check" to FBI agent Ed Coby who I haven't heard from.
I sent in a letter to NBC 10 Investigators and haven't heard from them either. My bank said that they would look further into this but there's really nothing they could do. I was also told to write a letter to Attorney General Zalima Farber but she is resigning from her position on August 31, 2006.
Does anyone care about what is going on? They are writing fake checks and getting away with it. This is ridiculous! I guess they would start an investigation it if happened to them!

Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition of Biographia Epistolaris Volume 1.
This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by Coleridge, which is now, at last, again available to you.
Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Biographia Epistolaris Volume 1.:
From this I think it is evident that Henry Nelson Coleridge intended what was published as a Supplement to the Biographia Literaria to be a Life of Coleridge, either supplementary to the Biographia Literaria or as an independent narrative, in which most of the letters published by Cottle in 1837 and unpublished letters to Poole and other correspondents were to form the chief material.
...Regan Paul (16, less 7 of those which appeared in Macmillans Magazine, 1864) 9 1878, Frasers Magazine (letters to Matilda Betham) 5 1880, Macmillans Edition of Coleridges Poems 1 1882, Journals of Caroline Fox 1 1884, Life of Alaric Watts 5 1886, Brandls Life of Coleridge 10 1887, Memorials of Coleorton 20 1888, Thomas Poole and his Friends (Mrs.
...Coleridge, of course, is not responsible for any of the opinions expressed in this work; but he has taken great pains in putting me right regarding certain views of others who had written on Coleridge, and also on some of the mistakes made by Henry Nelson Coleridge and Sara Coleridge, who had insufficient data on the matters on which they wrote, and definite information on which, indeed, could not be ascertainable in 1847.
...In 1768 he published miscellaneous Dissertations arising from the 17th and 18th chapters of the Book of Judges; in which a very learned and ingenious attempt is made to relieve the character of Micah from the charge of idolatry ordinarily brought against it; and in 1772 appeared a Critical Latin Grammar, which his son called his best work, and which is not wholly unknown even now to the inquisitive by the proposed substitution of the terms prior, possessive, attributive, posterior, interjective, and quale-quare-quidditive, for the vulgar names of the cases.
...Coleridges late Editor comes to an end, and at the present time I can carry it no further than to add, that in January, 1797, my Father removed with his wife and child, the latter then four months old, to a cottage at Stowey, which was his home for three years; that from that home, in company with Mr. and Miss Wordsworth, he went, in September, 1798, to Germany, and that he spent fourteen months in that country, during which period the Letters called Satyranes were written.

Calvin Klein Artisan Collection
Kelly Klein: Pools, Reflections
evocative and extraordinary. twenty years after the initial publication of pools and its subsequent return to print in 2007, kelly klein offers a new perspective to a subject that epitomizes style, status and élan with pools: reflections. within this new volume klein was inspired to capture evolving tastes found in art, architecture, design, fashion and photography in a breathless assortment of spectacular swimming pool imagery. pools: reflections primarily focuses on color photography that best illustrates contemporary pool design and its natural integration into cutting-edge architecture from around the globe. klein gathers examples within a collection of sensual and memorable images from a luminary group of artists and photographers including david hockney, james turell, steven klein, bruce weber, tom sachs, robert rauschenberg and robert mapplethorpe. ultimately pools: reflections provides resounding evidence of the enduring appeal of a potent symbol of the good life. all profits from pools: reflections have been donated to acria.

A re-expansion method for determining the acoustical impedance and the scattering matrix for the waveguide discontinuity problem128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3455836View Description Hide Description
The paper gives a new method for analyzing planar discontinuities in rectangular waveguides. The method consists of a re-expansion of the normal modes in the two ducts at the junction plane into a system of functions accounting for the velocity singularities at the corner points. As the new expansion has an exponential convergence, only a few terms have to be considered for obtaining the solution of most practical problems. To see how the method works some closed form solutions, obtained by the conformal mapping method, are used to discuss the convergence of the re-expanded series when the number of retained terms increases. The equivalent impedance accounting for nonplanar waves into a plane-wave analysis is determined. Finally, the paper yields the scattering matrix which describes the coupling of arbitrary modes at each side of the discontinuity valid in the case of many propagating modes in both parts of the duct.
An electromechanical low frequency panel sound absorber128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3459838View Description Hide Description
The sound absorbing properties of a thin micro-perforated plate (MPP) coated with piezoelectric material with shunt damping technology is investigated. First a theoretical model is presented to predict the sound absorption coefficients of a thin plate attached with a piezoelectric patch and electrical circuits. Then the model is extended to analyze the sound absorption for a thin plate with micro perforations and piezoelectric material. Measurements are also carried out in an impedance tube and found to be in good agreements with the theoretical model. The sound absorption of the constructions can be much improved by tuning the electrical circuits.
MP3 player listening habits of 17 to 23 year old university studentsa)128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3458853View Description Hide Description
This study evaluated the potential risk to hearing associated with the use of portable digital audio players. Twenty-eight university students (12 males, 16 females; aged 17–23) completed a 49-item questionnaire assessing user listening habits and subjective measures of hearing health. Sound level measurements of participants' self-identified typical and 'worst case' volume levels were taken in different classrooms with background sound levels between 43 and 52 dBA. The median frequency and duration of use was 2 h per day, 6.5 days a week. The median sound levels and interquartile ranges (IQR) at typical and 'worst case' volume settings were 71 dBA and 79 dBA, respectively. When typical sound levels were considered with self-reported duration of daily use, none of the participants surpassed Leq(8) 85 dBA. On the questionnaire, 19 students reported experiencing at least one symptom of possible noise-induced hearing loss. Significant differences in MP3 user listening patterns were found between respondents who had experienced tinnitus and those who had not. The findings add to a growing body of literature that collectively supports a need for further research investigating MP3 player user listening habits in order to assess their potential risk to hearing health.

Lightopus, a difficult-to-pigeonhole offering developed by AppxPlore and published by Bulkypix, is now available from the app store. Featuring great neon visuals, fluid controls, a soothing soundtrack, and enjoyable gameplay, Lightopus is a high-quality game whose only fault is failing to convey its purpose clearly.
Lightopus Pros:
- Terrific neon visuals and smooth, fluid animations
- Simple tap/drag controls show great responsiveness
- Ethereal and atmospheric audio enhances the game's atmosphere
- Collectible stars and special items to aid in survival
- GameCenter integration for global leaderboards and achievements
Lightopus Cons:
- Ultimate goal and effective use of special items get lost along the way
- Finger tends to get in the way
Lightopus resembles an octopus, though with significantly fewer limbs. In fact, it appears to only have 2 arms, neither of which is good for much other than dragging behind as it wends its way through its environment. There are a number of yellow shells in your vicinity, and contacting them will cause them to burst and release tiny creatures called Bulbies. Like krill to a whale, the Bulbies form schools and follow Lightopus around, actively defending the strange creature by attacking any enemies that attempt to harm it. Additionally, they cause Lightopus to swim faster, which comes in handy since Lightopus must breach a speed threshold to penetrate the perimeter and move on to the next location. Each location contains 3 stars for you to collect, as well as a number of special items to assist you in your quest to survive. Stars will boost your level score by a certain percentage once you leave, while special items can temporarily shield Lightopus, restore health, drive enemies away, freeze enemies, etc. The ultimate goal is to collect enough colored stars to reach the monster's hive and destroy the monster eggs. The experience is fairly laid back and casual, though engaging enough to keep our interest.
Graphically, the bright neon visuals and dark backgrounds create an appealing look. The Lightopus movements are smooth and fluid, almost eel-like. A dial at the screen top indicates current/remaining health, as well as current speed and speed needed to move on. Tiny arrows direct you toward the stars, which is a major help. The soundtrack is very chill, using ethereal and atmospheric music to enhance the calm, dreamy movements of the main character. The Lightopus follows your finger, giving you the option to tap where you want him to go or drag your finger on-screen to direct its movements. Exiting a level requires a simple swipe through the perimeter. There is an optional joypad, but we found it inferior to the default controls, even though our finger tends to get in the way.
Replay value is based mainly on the desire to earn higher point totals. The overall goal gets a bit lost in the shuffle, as does the purpose of the special items. The gameplay is fun, but it can get repetitive after a while. Your progression does not get saved, resulting in starting over from the very first location once the Lightopus dies, which can be frustrating. GameCenter integration offers global leaderboards and achievements. A universal app for $2.99, Lightopus is a solid, 4-Dimple option.

I emailed them and attempted to chat with them to cancel my order immediately after I ordered it. As I stated, the online chat did not work. The contact email initially on the site stated office unavailable (not exact wording); but basically the link lead you to an inoperable page. I then emailed them through their order confirmation email and told them I wanted the order cancelled. They stated they already shipped it out; but they issued an RMA #
(Return Merchandise Authorization form) to have it returned by December 2, 2008 or I would not receive a refund. That topped the cake for me.
I still emailed them that I had not received it and do not want to be charged ANY charges. Apparantly, they did not actually read the emails because they stated I should talk to someone on online chat! Within that suggestion they stated it should be someone who can help me. Well, DUH! I again attempted the chat, didn't work, emailed that I would like my information sent to someone "higher up" or a supervisor, and that I would like to talk with them by phone. Well, they stopped returning my emails and I haven't received a phone or the merchandise and today is Dec 11, 2008. I have continued to email them and stated I would be contacting my Credit Card company (CCC) as well as the Better Business Bureau (BBB). I have contacted my CCC today and they reimbursed me the initial shipping and handling fees I was charged. If I should be charged for the merchandise, within the next week (after 30 day free trial), I am to call my CCC again and it will be adjusted as well as disputed. Now, I will be attempting to contact the BBB and send all this information I forwarded to this Ripoff Report site.
I hope others have had luck with thise service because I certainly did not receive excellence in customer service, nor was I compensated, and nor did I receive the merchandise.
Thank you.

Religion' billboard brings debate
Published: Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 10, 2009 at 11:32 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM | A billboard that was put up by the Alabama Freethought Association is causing debate, with some saying the sign reading Imagine No Religion is offensive and should be removed.
The billboard along Interstate 20 near Pell City was placed there by the association as part of a national campaign by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. The background of the sign is of a stained glass window with the words sung by John Lennon in the song Imagine on top.
Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-
president of the foundation in Madison, Wis., said Friday that the sign will be up for a month. The group had wanted a billboard near the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, but Lamar Advertising declined.
We got censored by Lamar, she said.
It was offensive to me, said Tom Traylor, general manager of Lamar Advertising in Birmingham. We have the autonomy to decide whats in the best interests of our company and whats offensive. I dont think it was the kind of message we wanted to stand behind.
You have to know what area of the country youre in, he said. A heavy percent of our population is Christian. Thats who we cater to.
Gaylor said the sign, about 10 miles east of Birmingham, is rented from Bentley Advertising.
Freethought association member Pat Cleveland of Talladega said shes gotten about 50 irate calls about the billboard, but that the groups intentions arent hostile. The Talladega Daily Home reported that a petition drive has been started to take it down.
Cleveland, 63, said the calls shes received are ugly and hateful.
They said I ought to be where John Lennon is, burning in hell. Im sorry if anybody is offended, but Ive seen billboards that offend me, like ones that say Jesus is Lord over Talladega.
Im proud to be an American, Cleveland said. I refrain from any religion. Im a good person. I pay taxes, abide by the law and Im good to my family. I help people. I believe hands that help are better than hands that pray.

Unit Descriptions
Course Organization and Assignment Descriptions
Unit 1
The first three lessons will provide a strategic framework that can be used to analyze design, planning, and operational decisions in a supply chain. The development of the framework is followed by a discussion on the strategic goals and structure of 7-Eleven Japan to show how it is consistent with the established framework.
Unit 2
The second unit will discuss issues to be considered when designing a supply chain network. After a basic foundation, we will build on a strategic framework for facility decisions and discuss methodologies for network design. We will finalize the unit by looking at both global and transportation design.
Unit 3
This unit will stress the importance of planning in a supply chain and provide basic tools that can be used when planning demand and supply. We will highlight the key role that demand planning, as well as aggregate planning, play in the success of any supply chain. We will look at those activities that involve multiple functions within a firm and should also involve multiple stages within a supply chain to be really effective. In particular, the link between marketing and sales, operations, and distribution will be stressed.
Unit 4
This unit will provide an understanding of why inventory builds up in a supply chain and an identification of managerial levers that improve supply chain performance and profitability while lowering inventories.
The technical models and details presented in this unit have been designed with the goal of allowing you to be able to build models using Excel to analyze various inventory related questions in a supply chain. The models help illustrate how buyers or sellers react to various inventory situations leading to the buildup of cycle and safety inventory. Once a solid understanding of why inventory builds up has been obtained, the focus then shifts to what managerial levers are available to reduce inventories.

Custody for boy's body granted to paternal family
The Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office on Tuesday released the body of a boy to his paternal family in Port Lavaca.
Xadrian Martinez, 6, died Aug. 27 at Driscoll Children's Hospital after medics responded to a reported seizure in the 2500 block of Fig Street.
Albert Villarreal, the boy's stepfather, and Nancy Rae Martinez, his mother, were arrested the next day on suspicion of capital murder after medics told police they saw bruising on the boy's body.
The boy's biological father, Ruben Rene Saenz, and his mother Elena Saenz Madrigal hired an attorney to get custody of his body. Saenz Madrigal's sister, Brenda Saenz said Child Protective Services placed the boy in his grandmother's custody twice before.
"This is where he was loved and this is where he was happy," Brenda Saenz said. "We wanted to let him rest in peace."
Child Protective Services was called to take emergency custody of Xadrian Martinez's siblings, a 3-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl, who also were in the home at time of the incident.
Authorization forms and supporting documents from Artero Funeral Home in Port Lavaca and Treviño Funeral Home in Corpus Christi were submitted to the Medical Examiner's office last week for services and burial, Chief Medical Examiner Ray Fernandez said.
The maternal side of the family wanted to bury him in Corpus Christi, said Xadrian Martinez's maternal cousin, Elisa Valdez.
Valdez and her husband organized a fundraiser last weekend to pay for the expenses.
"The money will now go to Xadrian's siblings," Valdez said.
A visitation will be at 5 p.m. Sunday at Artero Funeral Home in Port Lavaca followed by a rosary at 7 p.m. Sunday. The funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday.
Services will be held Friday at Treviño Funeral Home at 7 p.m., funeral director Jaime Treviño said.
To help the family with funeral and attorney fees, a gofundme.com account was set up. Visit gofundme.com/dpiy8s to donate.

In my email I advised Gamefly to cancel my membership, since you cannot do it thru their web site. Which is a joke. I explained that the game they shipped was not authorized by me. I did not hit the rent button or anything else, and all I did was put the game in my que and was debating if I wanted to rent it. I explained that I was not happy with how their operation worked. So 2 days later I finally get a response telling me not to close my account and they will give me a free month. I replied back saying "What part of CANCEL MY ACCOUNT did you not understand? I told them I wanted my account cancelled immediately and they are NOT AUTHORIZED to ever charge my card again, and if I saw any other charges I will report them for fraud". They again reponded about they would again like to offer me a free month. And my Account will be closed as of August, 30th 2012". I had advised them when I emailed them I wanted my account cancelled immediately not a day later. So by thier response you can see they do what ever they want and not listen to their unhappy customers.
Well they turned around and charged my card for $31.88. Which WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY ME! They are trying to say that I never returned their game Brave. That game was given back to the postman on August 18th, 2012. And they claim a month later they never received it. That is a bold face lie. It took 2 days to show up when they shipped the game to me, you cannot tell me that it takes a month to return a game back to them. I am extremely pissed off about all this. Not only will I be contacting my bank for fraud and unauthorized charges, I will also file a complaint with The Better Business Bureau and the Illiois States Attorneys office for fraud!! I am also keeping a copy of this report for further proof to support my claims of fraud!

I had always thought Valvoline was a premium oil to begin with (probably based on the commercials), so I questioned why an oil change would cost $53.99, and what kind of oil could justify $15 more she just shrugged.
It is obvious they are just trying to push people into a higher service charge, and given the fact that we really have no idea what oil they are actually putting into our cars, I thought this was ludicrous. I did a little more investigating and discovered this is how Valvoline works, their whole goal is to grab as much $$$$$ as possible from consumers.
Interestingly, there were no cars being worked on at the time, and in the past I've noticed there rarely are cars in this shop when driving by. No wonder. Hopefully the word is out on these crooks and they will go out of business soon.
I recommend avoiding these national brands like Valvoline and Jiffy Lube, and using a local mechanic to do regular maintenance. You never know for sure about mechanics, but it's pretty obvious companies like Valvoline are just a bunch of crooks.
How does an Oil Change shop run out of oil ????

I think that the owner Donald should have have wasted my time. He called me for an potential interview at 11 am and I called him back at 2 pm. He told me that he would take my resume home and call me back at 7 pm. He called at 7 pm to tell me he had an internal person. He should have told me that at 11 or 2 instead of wasting my time. Something is fishy????

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

German DAX Drops Most in Three Weeks; ThyssenKrupp Sinks
German stocks slid the most in three weeks as billionaire investor George Soros warned that failure to produce drastic measures at a meeting of European Union leaders could spell the demise of the euro.
HeidelbergCement AG, the world's third-largest maker of cement, retreated 4.2 percent. Deutsche Bank AG, the country's biggest bank, lost 4.1 percent after RBC Capital Markets downgraded the stock. ThyssenKrupp AG fell 3.8 percent as JPMorgan Chase & Co. reduced its share-price estimate for Germany's largest steelmaker.
The DAX Index slid 2.1 percent to 6,132.39 at the close of trading in Frankfurt, the biggest drop since June 1. The gauge has fallen 14 percent from its 2012 high on March 16 amid concern that the euro-region debt crisis is harming the economy, trimming the advance in the first six months of the year to 4 percent. The broader HDAX Index retreated 2 percent today.
"There is no conviction to put money to work and take any risks as we wait for this week's European meeting," said Daniel Weston, a portfolio adviser at Schroeder Equities GmbH in Munich. "When Soros talks, people listen, and when he talks about a 'fiasco,' there is a lack of conviction in buying shares."
EU leaders will hold a two-day summit starting on June 28 amid concern that the region's debt crisis is spreading, while Italy and Spain auction debt tomorrow.
European Treasuries
Soros called on policy makers in Europe to create a European fiscal authority to purchase sovereign debt in return for Italy and Spain implementing achievable budget cuts. Funding for the purchases would come from the sale of European Treasuries, which would have low yields because they would be backed by each euro member, he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's Francine Lacqua yesterday.
"There is a disagreement on the fiscal side," said Soros. "Unless that is resolved in the next three days, then I am afraid the summit could turn out to be a fiasco. That could actually be fatal."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel hardened her resistance to euro-area debt sharing, saying at a conference in Berlin today that "euro bonds, euro bills and European deposit insurance with joint liability and much more" are "economically wrong and counterproductive."
"It's not a bold prediction to say that in Brussels most eyes -- all eyes -- will be on Germany yet again," Merkel said. "I say quite openly: when I think of the summit on Thursday I'm concerned that once again the discussion will be far too much about all kinds of ideas for joint liability and far too little about improved oversight and structural measures."
U.S. Homebuyers
German stocks fell even as demand for new U.S. homes rose more than forecast in May. Purchases climbed to a 369,000 annual rate, up 7.6 percent from the prior month and the most since April 2010, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 67 economists was 347,000.
HeidelbergCement dropped 4.2 percent to 34.98 euros, the largest decline in six weeks.
Deutsche Bank declined 4.1 percent to 27.37 euros after the stock was downgraded to sector perform, the equivalent of hold, from outperform by Fiona Swaffield, an analyst at RBC.
ThyssenKrupp fell 3.8 percent to 12.20 euros as JPMorgan cut the stock's price estimate to 18 euros from 21 euros. The brokerage kept its overweight recommendation, equivalent to a buy rating.
EON AG and RWE AG, the country's two largest utilities, fell 3.1 percent to 15.37 euros and 3.2 percent to 29.94 euros, respectively. The companies may outsource nuclear disposals to Areva SA, the world's biggest maker of atomic reactors, according to Handelsblatt.
RWE's Nordsee Ost wind farm will produce power later than previously planned due to delays in its grid connection, Der Spiegel quoted the German utility's incoming chief executive officer, Peter Terium, as saying.
Suedzucker AG advanced 1.7 percent to 26.25 euros, a third day of gains, after the sugar refiner said first-quarter operating profit climbed to 263 million euros ($328 million) from 184 million euros.

The Council on Foundations defines a family foundation as one whose funds are derived from members of a single family, though this is not a legal term and has no precise definition. The Council on Foundations suggests that family foundations have at least one family member serving as an officer or board member of the foundation and, as the donor, that individual (or a relative) must play a significant role in governing and/or managing the foundation. Most family foundations are run by family members who serve as trustees or directors on a voluntary basis. In many cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors manage the foundation.
Family foundations make up over half of all private (family, corporate, independent, and operating) foundations, or 40,456 out of approximately 73,764 foundations (Foundation Center, 2011). Family foundations make up approximately one-third of the Council's membership.
Family foundations range in asset size from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 billion. The holdings of family foundations total approximately $294 billion, or about 44 percent of all foundation holdings of $662 billion. Despite this, three out of five family foundations hold assets of less than $1 million. Family foundations gave away approximately $21.3 billion in grants in 2011 (The Foundation Center, 2011).

For a private foundation, disaster relief grants to Section 501(c)(3) public charities based at home or abroad can be relatively straightforward, provided the grantee is not legally classified as a supporting organization.
If the grantee is a supporting organization, its IRS determination letter will indicate that it is classified under 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The following are some of the models that are used for staffing family foundations. Many families use variations on these models or a combination of them. Any of them can be effective, depending on what is important to the family. The two major considerations, and they are linked, are: how much time do family members have to give to the foundation? How much hands on development and control do family members want? In addition, the geographic location and the expertise or experience of trustees will have a bearing.
Administrator Model
A family foundation's legal responsibilities for monitoring, assessing or evaluating the grants it makes to organizations with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status are minimal. The IRS requires little in the way of detailed reporting on the outcome of specific grants-except for grants to organizations that lack 501(c)(3) status.
