Vt. revenues up in most categories in JanuaryFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER New figures show that Vermont state revenues were up in most categories last month, coming in slightly ahead of projections.
In the results released Thursday, Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said January was a good month for the state treasury.
General Fund revenues in January were $2.3 million, or 1.6 percent, above forecasts. Seven months into the current fiscal year that ends June 30, general fund revenues total $750 million, three-tenths of one percent above the target figure.
The non-dedicated transportation fund receipts in January exceeded forecasts by about three-quarters of one percent. Year-to-date the fund is about one-tenth of one percent above target.
But the non-property tax education fund receipts for January were about one-tenth of one percent below expectations. For the year, the fund is just below even.MORE IN This Just InPolice said a Rutland man knocked out another mans teeth.

The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner
Caddy Compson
Character Analysis
Ever obsess about the one guy (or girl) that you just can't have? Notice how that obsession takes up approximately 23.99999995 hours of your day? In an interesting way, Faulkner uses Caddy's character to create this effect for us as readers. We see Quentin longing for Caddy. We see Benjy longing for Caddy. We see Jason thinking about Caddy, even when he wants to forget her forever. What we don't see, of course, is Caddy herself. She's the missing center of this novel. If Compson characters were Monopoly properties, she'd be Park Place. And we just never seem to draw her card.
What we're left with, then, is something like a 1,000 piece puzzle missing the last piece. The picture almost makes sense – but you're certain that it would look completely different if you could just find that piece! That's our novel without Caddy. We hear so much about her. We just never actually get up close and personal with the wild, passionate, loving girl that captured the hearts of all of her family members. Interestingly, she captured Faulkner's heart, too. When he talked about The Sound and the Fury later in his career, he called Caddy his "heart's darling." She's the image that generated his novel. And the sense of loss that we feel as readers – that nagging feeling that there must be something that could make this novel make sense – is what's left in the wake of her absence. It's what's left by the end of the novel, as well. Mrs. Compson won't even let Caddy's name be spoken in her house, remember?
So, how do we talk about a character that pulls a major disappearing act? Well, here's what we do know: she's fearless as a child, braving the prospect of whipping in order to play in the creek. Of course, she also offers up a pretty good foreshadowing of her fate in this scene (play ominous foreshadowing music here). Declaring, "I'll run away and never come back," Caddy threatens to do exactly what she wants whenever she wants to – and to hell with the consequences (1.212).
Of all the Compson children, Caddy and Benjy are the most comfortable in their bodies. Just as Benjy depends on bodily sensations to tell him about the world around him, Caddy depends upon the pleasures of her body (and her developing sense of desire) to lead her into a new world of experiences. Unfortunately, these experiences quickly become more than she can control. As she explains to Quentin: "There was something terrible in me sometimes at night I could see it grinning at me I could see it through them grinning at me through their faces it's gone now and I'm sick" (2.214).
Sexual desire becomes a reflection of her own consuming desires, not necessarily a desire for another person. Fascinated by Dalton Ames, Caddy starts a relationship with him and quickly becomes pregnant. Her pregnancy, the death knell of the family (if you ask Mrs. Compson, anyway), serves as the reason for a quick and unhappy marriage to a skeezy guy who works in a bank. Herbert Head even sounds like a tool. After her marriage, she effectively disappears from the novel. As we said, she's persona non grata (totally unwelcome) at the House of Compson.
All that's left, then, are Benjy's memories of Caddy as the girl who "smelled like trees" and Quentin's obsessive convictions that he can clear all of Caddy's sins by convincing their father that they've committed incest. It's not the most stellar legacy, we grant you. But then again, Faulkner never really lets her choose her own fate. Sure, we know he likes her a lot. But we never get to hear much of her side of the story. The one time that she does explain her sexual activity to Quentin, she does it through her body, by getting Quentin to feel her pulse when she hears the words "Dalton Ames." And let's face it: that sort of communication is pretty hard to translate into a novel. After all, novels are about language, words. And Caddy isn't always so good at using words. For a "heart's darling," she sure gets the short end of the stick.

London, 10 August (Argus) — UK power generators co-firing biomass with coal would need to use a ratio of more than 85pc biomass from April next year to be more profitable than coal, after the government confirmed new subsidy levels in July.
Current subsidy levels for co-firing give 0.5 renewable obligation certificate (Rocs) per MWh of electricity produced, regardless of the ratio, meaning power generators lose €6.50/MWh compared with burning coal at today's prices, based on a plant efficiency of 34pc.
The new subsidy levels, which grades Roc bands depending on how much biomass is co-fired on a unit-by-unit basis, mean that at today's prices a unit would have to burn between 85pc and 100pc biomass to qualify for enough subsidy to be profitable compared with coal, according to Argus data.
Power generators co-firing at these levels would receive 0.7 Roc/MWh, or €4.06/MWh more for burning biomass over coal. Generators that convert to 100pc biomass will receive almost €20/MWh more than coal with a full Roc/MWh.
But co-firing at a ratio of less than 50pc biomass — which covers the majority of the UK's co-firing plants — will reduce subsidies to 0.3 Roc/MWh in the 2013-14 financial year, indicating that coal would be €10.56/MWh more profitable than before the previous Roc banding.
Co-firing economics could become increasingly tighter next year, if current pricing trends continue. Coal clean dark spreads have widened to €12.77/MWh from €4.76/MWh in the past year, based on a plant efficiency of 34pc. Coal prices have averaged $93.53/t so far this month, compared with $124.77/t a year earlier.
Similarly, emissions prices have fallen sharply since last year because of a huge oversupply of allowances in the market. The EU emissions trading scheme allowance contract for December delivery has averaged €7.14/t this month, down from €12.24/t in August 2011.
Pellet prices are showing signs of recovery after recent weakness, with the Argus cif northwest Europe index increasing every week since 27 June, when it hit a year low of €123.50/t. And the Argus forward curve shows prices rising to a midpoint of €136/t by the second quarter of next year, when the new co-firing bands come into force.
But co-firing subsidies will increase as the Roc banding period — 2013-17 — progresses. The subsidy for those using a ratio of less than half biomass will increase to 0.5Roc/MWh in the 2015-16 financial year. The subsidy for those using between 85pc and less than 100pc biomass will rise to 0.9Roc/MWh from 2014.

I agree, I don't want rafa to spend for the sake of it a la chelski and I don't think he will. He is shrewd and I agree that he will only pay top dollar if it is worth top dollar.I don't care about Chelski or the mancs but I am always interested in how they cope with diversity, maybe in the hope that they fail miserably. And my thread was proved slightly last night, John Terry is injured again and might be out for a few weeks which means that Mourine in his infinite stupidity for not buying defensive cover in Jan (Haha) has to play their rock this season Essien out of position as replacement for JT, now I do think Essien is a good player but he can't replace Terry at center back which was proved by their poor run earlier in the season. I agree we are lucky enough to have decent cover in all positions and would cope better if we lost Stevie G or Carrer than Chelski have and will without Terry or The Mancs would without Rio, Ronny or Rooney.

Russ Milne Ford scammed me out of $90.00 plus dollars on a warrantied vehicle based on a false diagnosis. Vehicle while on warranty taken in for a simple blown fuse. They claimed it was caused by an after market item the vehicle was equipped with when vehicle was purchased from dealer. When after market shop whom did the original work for dealer before purchased checked out dealers diagnosis it was revealed it was totally false and unwarranted. This scam on behalf of dealer caused me 2 missed days of work, over $90.00 and trust I once had for the dealer.
When I tried to resolve matter with dealer after I learned of scam nobody wouldessentially give me the time of day. They were rude and totally unprofessional and this behavior came from upper management down to service worker. I have been loyal to this dealer for years and this is the kind of treatment I get. Until this incident we were planning on buying another new vehicle from this dealer. Now I don't even think I will ever buy another Ford let alone anything from this dealer. Beware of Russ Milne Ford for anything.

WASHINGTON — The e-book market created by the Amazon.com Kindle just a few years ago already is undergoing a shakeup — and it soon could see a shakeout.
Just six months ago, at least a dozen companies were preparing to launch, or had already launched, new e-readers in the U.S. to challenge Amazon and grab a piece of a small but rapidly growing pie. Now, it appears several e-readers will never make it to the market while others could die a quick death.
Just last month, for example, iRex Technologies filed for bankruptcy protection owing to poor sales of its e-reader. Another company, Plastic Logic, delayed the release of its own device called the Que, casting doubt on whether it will ever see the light of day.
What's going on? Simple. Prices of e-readers have fallen faster and further than anyone expected. Amazon, for instance, has slashed the price of the popular Kindle to $189 from $359 just one year earlier.
The catalyst for the sudden decline can be directly tied to two companies — the big bookseller Barnes &Noble and the computer and electronics giant Apple Inc.
Late last year Barnes &Noble introduced its own e-reader, the Nook, for $259, and it quickly sold out. The Nook had the added advantage of being available in physical stores, which allowed shoppers to actually see and handle the device. Until its recent launch with Target, the Kindle has only been available on the Amazon website.
Last month, Barnes &Noble cut the price of the Nook to $199, and Amazon responded the same day by dropping the Kindle to $189.
The cuts are so deep, market-research firm iSuppli calculates, that the cost of making the e-readers is virtually equal to their price. The result: Amazon and B&N can't make money on the sale of devices, so profits will have to come from the sale of digitized books and other content.
"This is the same razor/razor blade business model successfully employed in the video game console business, where the hardware is sold at a loss and profits are made on the sale of content," said William Kidd, an iSuppli analyst.
While Barnes &Noble has pushed prices lower, the iPad has given consumers another option while setting a ceiling on how much manufacturers of e-readers can charge.
At just 1 ½ pounds, the iPad is the first truly functional tablet computer. It can perform just like a laptop, but it's much thinner and lighter and costs only $499 — just $100 more than the original Kindle. Apple sells books for the iPad through its own online store, and customers can even download Kindle software to read books bought on Amazon.
The revolutionary nature of the iPad — never mind the pricing — immediately cast doubt on the future of high-end e-readers such as the Que or even Amazon's supersized Kindle DX reader. Amazon cut the price of the DX to $379 from $489.
Plastic Logic, for its part, had planned to sell versions of the Que starting at $650 and reaching as high as $800.
"Plastic Logic got much acclaim, but the price was too high, especially after the iPad came out," said Avi Greengart, director of consumer devices at Current Analysis. "You could buy an iPad and a Kindle for the price of one Plastic Logic reader."

Australia, in its constitutional history does have equivalents to most of these Canadian constitutional changes but the primary nor history page reflects this.
Changes in Canada's Constitutional Framework as found in Constitution of Canada
- Act of Settlement (1701)
- Treaty of Paris (1763)
- Royal Proclamation (1763)
- Quebec Act (1774)
- Constitution Act (1791)
- Act of Union (1840)
- Constitution Act (1867)
- British North America Acts (1867-1975)
- Statute of Westminster (1931)
- Succession to the Throne Act (1937)
- Letters Patent (1947)
- Canada Act (1982)
- Constitution Act (1982)
- Their are similarities, of course. One could remark that the Constitution Act 1986 is parrallel to the Constitution Act 1982, and the Act of Union 1840 might bear some resemblance to Federation in 1901. But Australia's constitutional history is quite independent to that of Canada. What value would making such comparisons have?Gazzster (talk) 01:49, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
English Monarchy[edit]
188.8.131.52 aside from putting your real name are you going to put a portion on what would happen if the monarchy ended in the UK? i somehow doubt we would stayt a monarchy in that event.
-- Paul Melville Austin
I suspect that may be me - as I didn't provide a name at all (I let it all default, as per usual and like the other fellow). But I never gave a false name.
No, of course not, for the following reasons:-
- it's highly speculative, i.e. it cannot simply be inferred from existing structures;
- it belongs under a wider heading to do with wider commonwealth and constitutional issues; and
- the wider question includes not only whether Australia would "become" a republic but also whether it would cease to have a viable constitutional system and would go through a period of transition (after all, when Brazil went republican it promptly started the usual unstable Latin American pattern).
For what it's worth, we do have some examples of what happened overseas when European events changed things in a number of "mother" countries: the French Revolutionary War and Napoleonic War period. That actually produced an independent Brazilian monarchy, after a generation. But the analogy is too loose to draw much from. It does seem remotely possible that we would get a break up, since that is what happened to former Spanish possessions. PML.
Of course nothing lasts forever and that most likely will include the monarchy - i just hope the transition you mentioned won't be too painfull. As to the Republican movement - the split between parliamentary and direct-election republicans could have been crucial in the result of the referendum or it could have been a culmination of alot of things as you said in the article.
--- Paul Melville Austin
In a moment I'm going to replace the existing last para with a longer, more detailed thing. I'm not happy with it, (a) as it leaves out several things that ought to be included (I confess to having been very bored by the whole thing, and have forgotten most of it already, bar the glorious fun of watching Phil Cleary and Brownyn Bishop participate in a debate on the same side), and (b) because I don't think it is very balanced as it stands. I'm going to post it anyway because, unless I miss my guess, it will stimulate a few people to complete it.
BTW, it may be appropriate to move it to another page somewhere. Tannin 14:48 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)
I've added in a couple of changes;
- mentioned the impact of the Royal Titles Act in changing the monarch from being monarch in Australia to monarch of Australia. It is of fundamental importance yet for some reason few people seem to cop on to the constitutional significance;
- NPOVed some of the language. Terms with different judgmental meanings were used when writing about the yes or no side in the referendum. Why was Hawke and Frasier an unlikely alliance but alliances on the no side an extra-ordinary spectacle? NPOV should mean a same weighting of language for both. Wasn't the Frasier/Hawke an equally extraordinary spectacle? Or the conservative/radical left link up an unlikely alliance? I've used unlikely alliance for both sides. Equally, calling Howard an unashamed royalist implies there is something to be ashamed about in being one, or that that was the 'widely' held view. It is not Wiki's role to suggest that. I've changed that to a more neutral term. JTD 23:42 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)
This article has clearly improved because of your changes, JTD. I applaud all of them bar two, and oddly enough, they are the very two you mention above. Where, for example, you replaced the clumsy the ARM worked to abolish with the better sought to abolish ("worked" was a word I was unhappy with in the first place), these two you mention were carefully chosen and deliberate.
- Wasn't the Frasier/Hawke an equally extraordinary spectacle? No! Not even close. Fraser and Hawke, despite being on opposite sides of the Liberal/Labour divide, are both from the political centre. They are both very much a part of the Canberra mainstream, and seeing them together was unusual, but hardly extraordinary. Bishop, on the other hand, was from the conservative hard right of the Liberal Party, a much more controversial figure than Fraser or Hawke. Fraser and Hawke wear business suits and look much like any other politician: Bishop wears clothes so conservative that cartoonists and comic impersonators have a field day with them, and has views to match. But if Bishop was just about as far right as you can get and yet still belong to the Liberal Party, Cleary was so far to the green and left side that he didn't belong to the ALP - indeed, he took Bob Hawke's old seat, a traditional blue ribbon working class inner-city Labor seat, standing as an independant against the Labour candidate. Cleary was an ex-footballer who talked with a rough accent, dressed like a labourer, had a beard and long unruly hair, and swore on radio from time to time. If you could have picked just one federal politician who stood against everything Cleary stood for, then you might have considered Peter Reth for a minute, but you would almost certainly have chosen Bishop. As opposite as it's possible to get. Trust me, it was an "extraordinary spectacle" seeing those two share a podium. (Many press people commented on this at the time, of course.) Fraser and Hawke together was "interesting" or "novel", Bishop and Cleary was "extraordinary".
- "Unashamed royalist" as a description of Howard is appropriate. Many Royalists were rather ashamed of their view, or at least seen that way (and no doubt still are). Republicans tend to simply state their view, but royalists usually state it in a qualified way: for example, "Well, I'm as patriotic an Australian as the next man, but ..." It seems to me that these grounds are sufficient to reinstate the original phrase. But perhaps I should cite my source for it in any case: John Howard himself. He used that word repeatedly and deliberately to describe himself. I daresay he still does.
I'll adjust the entry shortly.
(Please note that these are the only issues I take with your edit JTD, which I otherwise see as a valuable addition.) Tannin
"Many Royalists were rather ashamed of their view, or at least seen that way" - no, it was a media misrepresentation thing. Knowing that the media wanted to make it tightly focussed on the "royalist" thing, and not about the whole broad church approach that brought in real anti-republic objections as well as pro-monarchy ones, a lot of monarchists didn't want to have that emphasised and put out of context by a media with an agenda. When we (I'm not ashamed!) did that, it was playing a dead bat. The media fell back on a second line: claim there was something the monarchists wanted to hide, something to be ashamed of, e.g. "why won't they mention the Queen?". The only "shame" in all this is something cooked up as an explanation by a media that could not see any other motive for playing a dead bat. PML.
Rename Constitutional history of Australia? --Jiang
I have removed the reference to head of state, which is not defined and is a matter of varied opinion. The Queen neither possesses nor exercises any significant powers and her only remaining role is to appoint the Governor-General, which she does on the sole advice of the Australian Prime Minister. Skyring 06:11, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Eureka Stockade[edit]
I don't know why the Eureka Stockade is mentioned in this article. South Australia has full male franchise for their colonial parliament before the Eureka incident even took place.
Blocking of supply?[edit]
I have a problem with this:
Can the Senate refuse supply or refuse to discuss supply?
This was implied to be an "unanswered question." I tend to disagree. I think it is pretty obvious that the Senate CAN do that if they so desire. Where they should or not is another issue entirely, but they are well within their powers to say "no." Of course, the party in control of the senate would probably get lynched in today's political atmosphere, but that's a different story. I tentatively suggest we rephrase the question... maybe "should" the senate refuse supply? Although that's a bit iffy...
I also added a couple of headings to the discussion page to make it easier to read - I got very confused reading through it :D Hope that's alright. GreenGopher 03:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- I would agree with the rephrase. I don't think there's much doubt the Senate is able to refuse supply, or delay voting on supply. --Robert Merkel 06:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Can any one please inform me and perhaps add to this article who the individual authors of the Australian Constitution are? (Thank you in advance.)~ 126.96.36.199 07:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Taking a dip into the refreshing, clear blue water of the pool is invigorating at all times of the summer season. While some like to go swimming in the sweltering afternoon, others like to shed their stress and fatigue in the cool pool water in the quiet of the night, after returning home from work. Best above ground pool lights can make your night-time swimming experience even more enlivening than usual. Presence of pool lights in and around your aboveground pool can not only intensify the water-splashing experience, but they can also prevent risky accidents. By illuminating up the bath deck, the lights can save pets and children from tripping and falling into the water.
Talking about the aesthetic enhancement abilities of above ground pool lights, the right choice can indeed stun your guests and neighbors. Your natatorium can be tangibly transformed into a beautiful and serene site that exudes romantic vibes. Lights can be fitted both underwater and around the pool rim to create an ambience that blends the opposing senses of ecstasy and peace. To enjoy a spa experience, you can choose the lights that change colors softly, blending slowly from one subtle shade to another. Contrarily, the lighting fitments that change color quickly and abruptly can bring in the perfect, party ambience with the stark flash of lights.
Those that hang by the room margin have the earliest origin. These light fittings are draped over the rim and then slid down along the pool liners. Added with quite a few bulbs, these lights can potentially brighten up the pool ditch and the surrounding deck, to some extent. The floating above ground pool lights are a hot favorite among people who have a subtle choice. Offering sufficient illumination, they are favored over their submerged versions because they create an enigmatic look. However, the only downside of these appurtenances is that they bounce and shift around when the pool is occupied.
The lights that are magnetically attached are a recent addition to enable convenience of the pool owners. These fitments can be attached anywhere because of their add-on magnetic property. They are equipped with a magnet backing that is powerful enough to stay put on the metal strips appended behind the pool liners. Available in a plethora of colors and styles, these above ground pool lights are again prone to getting knocked and thrown around by water activities. A major pro point of these lights is that they do not require expert and expensive installation.
above ground pool lights .The above ground pool lights of the standard quality all come with chemical resistant lenses. As they are to work in an aquatic environment, they are protected with fuse overload. With a standard power wattage of 35, the bulbs are all designed not to disturb the water returns of the pool. They are all tested and certified by the UL Standard 676 and ETL. The lights are patented with reflectors that provide maximum lighting. The lights come with a long cord, plug and transformer for direct installation.

Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 1, 2-epoxy-2-methylpropane gives, as expected, predominantly tert-butyl alcohol.
When the reduction is carried out with an LiAlH4/AlCl3 mixture, however, epoxide rearrangement precedes reduction and isobutyl alcohol becomes the major product. This rearrangement was confirmed by a deuterium-labeling experiment in which an LiAlD4/AlCl3 mixture was used. Where was the deuterium located in the isobutyl alcohol product?

Business leaders say they must hire illegal immigrants because even jobless citizens will not work under the conditions and for the low pay that these jobs offer. Unsaid:"and we will not pay higher wages because it is cheaper to bribe government officials to allow us to keep hiring illegals."
Hypocritical government officials continue to promise to "do something" to stem the flow of illegals across our borders while at the same time accepting "campaign contributions" from business leaders who have a monetary interest in maintaining the supply of illegals.

Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury says the off-season headlines have tightened the Magpies
- From: Herald Sun
- April 09, 2013
COLLINGWOOD superstar Scott Pendlebury says the club's off-season poor behaviour headlines has tightened the Magpies like never before.
Leading Teams boss Ray McLean, who is credited with honing Sydney's "Bloods" culture, was called upon by Pies coach Nathan Buckley over the off-season to help arrest slipping standards.
Leading Teams centres on brutally honest feedback between the playing group and Pendlebury said it had worked at Collingwood, who are undefeated after two rounds.
"I think (the off-season innuendo) that is where we bonded and got closer together as a group," he said on Fox Footy's On the Couch last night.
"With Ray and Leading Teams, we aired it as a group.
"We asked each other what we thought about it.
"We said 'let's stick together and get through this together.'
"And we agreed if guys do need support, come and talk to us.
"I think we have remained pretty close from that."
Pendlebury said he was a fan of Leadings Teams and identified teammate Jarryd Blair as one who player who had thrived under the program.
"With meetings, it used to be the same voices always talking," he said.
"Blairy stood up in meetings and had a say.
"His first two rounds, and on the weekend in particular, he won some crucial 50-50 balls."
Pendlebury kicked the final goal on Sunday to seal Collingwood's dramatic victory over Carlton on Sunday, delivering coach Nathan Buckley a win over his former mentor Mick Malthouse.
The Norm Smith Medallist last night rubbished the Malthouse camp's suggestion that the former Magpies coach hosed down a player revolt in 2011 that wanted to keep him as coach.
"The petition is completely untrue," he said.
Pendlebury used his Herald Sun column on Sunday to reveal the players had begun to get a bit comfortable under Malthouse.

1996 Honda VF750C Magna from United States of America
Great all around motorcycle
General Comments:
This 1996 Magna, which I purchased on eBay, is one clean and flawless example. The Magna is a exercise in "eye candy", a beautiful motorcycle to behold.
I am very loyal customer of Honda Motorcycles, owning most every model from the Honda 50cc to a Goldwing (GL1000). Every honda has always performed flawlessly, and has given me a great deal of satisfaction. The Magna is the perfect size motorcycle, powerful, yet very agile and comfortable to ride. I know I have not put a lot of mileage on her yet, but if past experience counts for anything, this will also be a pleasant Honda ownership.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Don't Know

We found out later that our note had been bought out by Vanderbilt. We have paid over 32,000 on the trailer that the purchase price was 32,000 not including interest. We have found out today that we still owe 212 months at 393.00 a month on this trailer. They are saying that we purchased the trailer on a 25 year note. My husband and I both know that we did not do that. This is for the trailer only. There is no land that goes with the trailer.
We honestly feel like we've been raped. Who in their right mind would pay over 100,000.00 dollars for a 30,000 trailer with no land.
Is there not someone out there that helps the consumer against people that takes advantage of others. There has got to be a law somewhere that protects the consumer. We do not want to let the trailer go back but we in good conscious could not ask someone to take over payments knowing what we do about this company and the way they have manipulated and taken advantage of us. If someone has got any ideas on this and what we could do I would appreciate hearing from you.

Your copy does not matter

If you can't remember signing the contract pay the $35 to verify it, make sure it is your signature.
Beyond a falsified signature it leaves only this -- If you don't remember ever signing a contract at something as important as a closing you either remember incorrectly what the terms were suppose to be or didn't read what you were signing.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

My signature is NOT ON THIS CONTRACT. What does that mean?
When we asked Vanderbilt for a copy of the contract they asked for $35.00 to send it. After talking to them for a month we finally talked to someone that was willing to tell us the pay off amount and has said that they would send a copy of the contract. That was yesterday. If my signature is on their contract I would like to know how they got it since it's not on mine.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is the contract legal if there is not a signature on it?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What does your original loan paperwork stipulate? 15 years or 25 years?
AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, December 27, 2007POSTED: Thursday, December 27, 2007
So many people post here about what they "thought" their house, auto, etc. loan terms were but they had never actually READ what they had signed (agreed to).
But if you were willing to pay $100K for a $32K trailer (by not reading what you signed) the bank will be happy to accept your money.
Assuming your $393/mo does NOT include any escrow for insurance & taxes, a "25 year note on a $32000 purchase" would suggest 14.3% interest while a 15 year note [at $393/mo] on $32000 would suggest 12.43% interest.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
