The interest in exploring the use of noble metal nanoparticles for diagnostic and therapeutic imaging stems from the drawbacks of current in vivo probes. Fluorescent probes, such as fluorescent dyes and proteins, are not photostable and therefore are useful only for a limited time during the probing event. Besides imaging agents, especially gold nanoparticles are also intensely researched as target-specific vehicles for drug delivery. Due to its inert chemical properties, gold has been widely considered as one of the most stable and biocompatible materials. But studies of the biocompatibility and toxicity of gold nanoparticles in various types of cells have yielded inconclusive results: some studies show a toxic effect and high-dependence of toxicity on nanoparticle size and surface functional groups, while other studies report no significant cytotoxicity. Many of these studies did not use purified gold nanoparticles, or examine any other chemicals present in the gold nanoparticle solutions, or well characterize the physical properties, leading to these inconclusive results. Researchers have now synthesized and characterized stable, nearly monodisperse, and highly purified gold nanoparticles, and utilized them to study cleavage-stage embryos in real-time and to probe their effects on embryonic development at the single-nanoparticle level in real time.Posted: Sep 11th, 2009
One of the complications of nanotoxicology is that the toxicity of a specific nanomaterial cannot be predicted from the toxicity of the same material in a different form. For instance, while the toxicity of inert systems such as iron oxides, gold, or silver has been investigated for nearly isotropic particles, the toxicity of these materials in nanofilament form cannot be predicted from their known toxicity as nanoparticles. Fully understanding the toxic mechanisms of nanoscale materials is an essential prerequisite in being able to design harmless nanomaterials whose interactions with biological cells is non-lethal. Currently, a lot of nanotoxicological research effort is focused on carbon nanotubes, but nanofilaments are not exclusively based on carbon materials and can be produced from many inorganic materials in the form of nanotubes and nanowires. Applying the 'precautionary principle' to nanotechnology would require much more extensive nanotoxicological research on all types of nanomaterials; and there seems to be a particular lack of findings concerning non-carbon nanofilaments. Researchers in Switzerland have now taken a closer look at the fate of titanium dioxide (TiO2) based nanofilaments in the body. Their results are cause for concern.Posted: Jul 27th, 2009
A group of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark have conducted a systematic analysis of 31 recently published reports and articles which discuss the environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanomaterials. They find that serious knowledge gaps pervade nearly all areas of basic nanotechnology EHS knowledge. These knowledge gaps or areas of uncertainty were ranked to how often they were included in the screened literature. The analysis found that the following areas in particular have been highly cited as important knowledge gaps within the field: the lack of reference materials and standardization; environmental fate and behavior; human and environmental toxicity; test methods to assess, particularly, the effects, and commercial or industrial-related aspects (e.g. life cycle assessments).Posted: Jul 3rd, 2009
You can find them in all kinds of products, from socks to food containers to coatings for medical devices - we are talking about silver nanoparticles. Valued for its infection-fighting, antimicrobial properties, silver in its modern incarnation as silver nanoparticles, has become the promising antimicrobial material in a variety of applications because the nanoparticles can damage bacterial cells by destroying the enzymes that transport cell nutrient and weakening the cell membrane or cell wall and cytoplasm. Despite their wide use, the issue of possible adverse effects and toxicity of nanoparticles for the human body is progressively, albeit slowly, recognized as central by an increasing number of studies. A widely accepted consensus on the detailed molecular mechanism of silver nanoparticles toxicity is still missing and very often the drive toward new formulations overwhelms the interest for a better assessment of the cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles. Scientists at the University of Trieste in Italy have now developed a novel non-cytotoxic nanocomposite hydrogel material based on natural polysaccharides and silver nanoparticles for antimicrobial applications.Posted: Jun 29th, 2009
From a risk and safety point of view it is impossible to draw any definite conclusions as far as today's nanomaterials are concerned. Although gaining steam, nanotoxicological research is still scarce; standards are just emerging; and scientific findings can be contradicting each other because the underlying assumptions and methodologies vary. One initiative that tried to shed light on this issue is a recently completed global review of completed and near completed environment, health and safety research on nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The resulting EMERGNANO report is a unique attempt to identify and assess worldwide progress in relation to nanotechnology risk issues. The review doesn't provide any new data or conclusions but is offeres a fairly comprehensiv identification, stocktaking and analysis of of research carried out worldwide on nanotechnology safety, including that relating to hazard, exposure, risk assessment and regulation.Posted: Jun 16th, 2009
There is a slowly growing body of work that investigates the toxicity of synthesized nanoparticles to plants, aquatic invertebrates, algae, bacteria and different cell lines and we have been covering this topic in previous Spotlights as well as our nanoRISK newsletter. Although the potential negative effects of nanoparticles on organisms and the environment have raised concerns, limited studies so far have examined the difference between nanoparticles and bulk particles with the same chemical composition and mineral phase, or addressed the toxicity of dissolved metal ions from the nanoparticles. In new work by scientists at the University of Massachusetts, the toxicity of bulk oxide particles and the released ions were assessed along with four oxide nanoparticles, which clearly showed that size matters.Posted: Apr 16th, 2009
NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the United States, has published the final version of its report 'Approaches to Safe Nanotechnology'. This document reviews what is currently known about nanoparticle toxicity, process emissions and exposure assessment, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment. This updated version of the document incorporates some of the latest results of NIOSH research, but it is only a starting point. The document serves a dual purpose: it is a summary of NIOSH's current thinking and interim recommendations; and it is a request from NIOSH to occupational safety and health practitioners, researchers, product innovators and manufacturers, employers, workers, interest group members, and the general public to exchange information that will ensure that no worker suffers material impairment of safety or health as nanotechnology develops.Posted: Apr 7th, 2009
Most of the nanotoxicology research currently undertaken deals with the potential risk aspects that various nanomaterials might pose for the human body. So far, the mechanisms of nanoparticle phytotoxicity - the ability to cause injury to plants - remain largely unknown and little information on the potential uptake of nanoparticles by plants and their subsequent fate within the food chain is available. Research in this area is fairly scant, and among the few studies available, none have used major food crops or carbon nanoparticles. The interaction between nanoparticles and plants currently is poorly understood. Unlike mammalian species, plants have thick and porous cell walls and a vascular system for water and nutrients uptake. Plants in natural environment can also conduct photosynthesis. How nanoparticle uptake and their accumulation may impact on plant structure and their biological and biochemical processes remains a question. The few studies available in this field are probably only touching the tip of the iceberg. A team of scientists at Clemson University has now undertaken an effort to shed light on the impact of nanomaterials on high plants, filling a significant knowledge gap in the current literature.Posted: Mar 5th, 2009

We offer wristbands in a wide variety of types, styles, colors, patterns and with customization options."
As I said above, I ordered 1400 total wristbands: 1000 "segmented" (2 color/ hot pink and royal blue with white writing), that entitled us under their promotions to an additional 100 of the same kind; and 100 glow in the dark green ones with black writing, with 100 free of the same ones of those. I paid an additional $44.99 for 5 day production time, and an additional $69.99 for 2 day shipping for the segmented ones, and had to separately order the glow ones at 7 day production time (free) and 7 day shipping (the cheapest option at $19.99 extra). All total, the cost was $589.92. NOT a small amount! We were ordering these because we are trying to adopt again, and we wanted to use these as promotional/marketing items at upcoming walks and events we were attending (rather than just handing out the standard "cards" with website information on them).
Though I had to call once to check on the shipping because the tracking number I was given didn't work, the bracelets DID arrive in time for our first walk. We distributed several hundred the following day to random people attending, and businesses attending, to hand them out to people who might be interested in our adoption journey. From there, in the next week or so, I sent another 100 or so out via the mail to everyone who asked for them, and to a few more businesses, and in the next 1.5 weeks, we attended 3 more charitable events where we put several hundred more bracelets out for people to take and use/pass along to others to help us get the word out... In the meantime, my husband and I were wearing one each of the segmented bracelets, and I also was wearing a glow in the dark bracelet.
After less than 3 weeks, I noticed that the writing (our website information) was almost entirely worn off the face of the bracelets, and asked a few people who we knew of who we had sent a few to, and they confirmed theirs were the same way. I compared a new one of each bracelet (from those not yet distributed) with an old one of each and the differences were striking in just a matter of days' wear. In other words, after 2-3 weeks, these bracelets were of absolutely no value for networking because the wearer/user would not be able to see the critical information on them - our website address. Additionally, we paid extra to have our email address embossed on the inside of the segmented bracelets and, though there, it is barely raised lettering and absolutely no one I asked to look at the bracelets even noticed it without being told it was there (waste of money).
I emailed email@example.com on 10/01/12 with the problem, and offered to send a photograph showing the problem, and asking that they remedy it. I got no response. I emailed again on 10/09/12, and also attempted emailing to the other 2 email addresses listed on their website for "accounting" (firstname.lastname@example.com) and their "supervisor, Mike" (email@example.com), and both emails were "kicked back" as invalid. I then called the 24 hr telephone number listed (877-536-8500) and was connected with an Indian woman who spoke, at best, disjointed English. She repeated the same things over and over and, before I even gave her my order number, she said, "Is this Stephanie?" and confirmed they had received my emails. She then told me that their "terms and conditions" and "FAQ's" "clearly state that the printed wristbands will only last about 2 weeks."
When I asked for her supervisor, she told me there was none available at night and she was the highest there was. When I asked her name, she hung up on me. I called back, and I got another Indian woman; this one spoke a little better English, but not much. I had to repeat the entire scenario to her. She told me there was nothing a customer service representative could do, and that any decisions would have to be made by a manager, and that was Jason Burke, and he was available the next day. She told me that they normally have customers order via their telephone number, and they are taught to tell the customers that the text on printed wrist-bands will wear off in 1-2 weeks, and they must just assume that I was told that (even though my order was placed electronically via their website and the only time I spoke with someone live was to check the status of my shipping).
I was never told the writing on these bracelets would not last, or I would not have ordered them (it would have cost approximately 1 cent per bracelet - or $11 total - to get debossed wrist-bands, rather than printed ones...OBVIOUSLY, something I would have done had someone told me these would not last). The woman I spoke with told me that customers should know these will not last because they are cheaper than the other ones. She could point me to nothing that they sent to me which indicated I'd ever been told this. While on the phone with her, I received an email from "WB Promotion" asking me to rear to the terms and conditions page (with a link), and that it "clearly states that printed bands do not last longer than few weeks." In actuality, what that page says, buried in the middle of the lengthy document, under a "Production/Shipping" heading is this:
I waited until the next day and called back. The Indian woman who answered THIS time would simply NOT let me talk to the manager, and insisted that she had to help me. It should be noted that, all along, I could hear an American-sounding man in the background SCREAMING at someone (presumably on the phone). It was incredibly unprofessional and non-businesslike. I asked her if that was her manager, and she didn't respond, and there was an awkward silence (I later verified it WAS when, after 30 minutes, and finally telling her to tell him that she had an attorney on the phone and he'd do best to answer the phone NOW rather than get served with a lawsuit later... he got on the phone, and it was the same person who had so rudely been yelling in the background). Back to the discussion with the woman: she first told me they never received my emails, and then when I told her that was BS, she acquiesced and admitted they had received them.
She then said I had to send pictures before she could do anything. I indicated I had offered to do that previously and they refused to respond (and simultaneously took a picture with my cell phone and emailed it to firstname.lastname@example.com). I then told her that I had sent the picture, at which point she offered (after no less than 20 minutes of arguing back and forth with her and spelling out the entire address which set forth the language above regarding the printed wristband's life) to give me a "full refund......" ON WHAT I HAD LEFT... So, I would have to pay the shipping (back to CHINA) on the remaining bracelets, and they would refund based on the number of bracelets I returned. I could get a "full" refund on the product if I somehow retrieved all those I had given out at events to unknown strangers & businesses, and returned those too (impossible, and they know it).
She then offered me a 10% discount on a future order instead (HA! That one was funny!) I insisted repeatedly that I wanted to talk to her manager, and she told me he was "too busy" to talk to me (yeah - he was still screaming in the background). She also tried to tell me that the language on their page about the printed wrist-bands referred "clearly" to the paint used IN the silicone, itself, and not the text on the wrist-bands. Eventually, after telling her both myself and my husband are attorneys (true story), and that she probably should tell "Jason" to get on the phone and deal with this, or face a lawsuit, he miraculously appeared....
He was nothing but rude from the moment he got on the phone. I tried (calmly) re-explaining what was going on, and he cut me off and told me he knew what the problem was, and basically that he wasn't going to do anything more about it. My options were to keep the bracelets and get a 15% discount on the product (when reducing the overly expensive $134.97 I paid in production and shipping fees from the total, leaving $454.95 for the actual wrist-bands, 15% would equate to $68.24 (leaving me paying $521.68 for bracelets that after 3 weeks do us absolutely NO good whatsoever). Or, I could return the product and he would give a full refund ON THE PRODUCT (not the production/shipping) that I returned.
I explained to him that several hundred of them had been distributed already at events and in mailings, and I had no way to get them back (if they weren't already in the trash given that the information on them became readily unreadable). He told me that I must be "out of (my) mind" that I would request a refund on products I wasn't returning and that someone else was "enjoying" (meaning, the junked bracelets that no longer showed our networking information/website on them). He equated it to going to Best Buy and buying a computer, and then trying to return just the keyboard for a full refund. Um, not so: when you buy a computer at Best Buy, it is ONE item, and Best Buy has no reason to believe you'd not be using that ONE item yourself and/or that you'd be distributing individual "keys" of the keyboard, etc.
Conversely, THIS company KNOWS that what they are selling are promotional products (that's what the even describe them as, above), and that the entire purpose of people buying them is to distribute them to others, en mass.... and that a return of all of the products is impossible because, by their very nature, they are piece meal and given out to others. The company ALSO knows that the writing doesn't wear off until a few weeks after you give them out (as promotional pieces, almost without fail, to mostly strangers....) so, by the time the product "fails," there is no way to get it back to return it. Instead, the buyer has a "broken" and unusable promotional piece that they paid full price for with an expectation of it lasting forever... or at least a lot longer than 21 days. The entire set-up is a fraud and a scheme to dupe people out of money with no return-recourse.
"Jason" went on to offer me his "personal" telephone number and acted as if the information he gave me was somehow special (it was the same telephone number - the direct line - offered on their website - 281-286-9500.) When called out on this, he yelled more.... I then asked the name of their registered agent, and he had no idea what I was talking about (a registered agent is required by law if you are doing business in a state to accept service of lawsuits). I then asked him if he'd been sued before, to which he responded "many times" and that they always win against customers. He said "our lawyer is so good" that if we send papers to them, his lawyer will "send papers back and (I'll) end up working in Alaska."
(Not really even sure what he meant by this, but apparently he thinks Alaska is the worst place on Earth....) When I asked where he resided, he said he was a "U.S. Citizen" and when pushed, said he has lived in Houston, TX for 28 years. Needless to say, we didn't get any further in our conversation. He was completely unwilling to resolve the problem, and when I asked for them to replace the defective "printed" wrist-bands with ones that had writing that would not wear off (i.e. embossed or debossed), he said "absolutely not." His only solution was to refund (after I paid an arm and a leg to RESHIP the remaining bracelets back to China) the portion that represented those remaining bracelets, only, and to suck up any loss on the ones I had used to date for networking purposes, or to take a loss of still over $500 with a small condolence credit (which might or might not actually ever get applied).
At this point, I think I'm going to dispute the charge with my credit card as being fraudulent based upon the consumer fraud/deceptive practices that this company is engaging in. If I can get nowhere with that, I'm going to file a lawsuit. Enough is enough. DON'T do business with this company. Their product is not what it is put forth as, and they will NOT stand behind it.... You'll be out a LOT of money and a lot more frustration!

Once you reach $40 in your account, you can request a payment. I have reached $40 in each account and requested my payment. All of a sudden my accounts have become inactive and they refuse to send me my earnings. They say it is because I have not been reading the emails they claim to send out every day.
They also say that if I am not receiving emails, that it is my fault because I haven't added them to my safe senders list or I don't allow HTML. This is bogus.
I have added their email addresses to my accounts and I have made sure that I am set up to receive HTML. I have tried changing my email (work versus home account) and nothing works. Still I do not receive email from them and they are using this as an excuse not to pay me.
The surveys I took were legitimate and were for various companies that ranged from soft drink bottlers to car manufacturers to restaurants. They are receiving payment from these companies to administer these surveys and then they are weaseling their way out of paying the people who took the time to fill out the surveys.
It took about 6 months to earn $50 from Inbox Dollars and $40 from Send Earnings and I want my money!!

SUBMITTED: Monday, September 28, 2009POSTED: Monday, September 28, 2009
This company is pathetic - or am I? I signed up to be a member of INBOXDOLLARS back in 2006. I spent a year and half reading pointless emails and doing random surveys.
Finally I got my account to $35 (Which used to be $5 above the minimum withdrawl before they raised it..) I ask for payment Via check. This was back in January of this year. They told me a check would arrive in May...5 months to produce a measley $35 bucks? That should have been a red flag there?
I have tried to contact them 6-7 times. I finally threatened that I would take this to the internet if no one got back to me. As you can expect - no one got back to me. I am now making it my partime job to educate people about this scam and hopefully no one else will fall for the same stupid game I fell for.
Trust me INBOX DOLLARS is fake - dont waste your time - you will NOT get paid.
My goal is to post one of these every week - Maybe these jerks will catch on and realize they can screw us anymore.

Inboxdollars.com : Necessary to check and confirm emails
AUTHOR: Pohemi - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 21, 2008POSTED: Sunday, December 21, 2008
I've never had a problem receiving the emails. If you have a spam box that email gets filtered into, I bet they are going to that box. Check to see if they are there, and mark them "not spam". I had to do the same thing when I first started.
It took me several months to reach the $30 minimum to receive a payout, and when I went through the process on their website for getting a check sent to me in the mail, I discovered that it would take a month and a half to have it processed. I was initially perturbed by this, until I read the reasoning. They base it on the amount of time it requires for Inboxdollars to be paid by the companies they do surveys for. I can understand that.
Also, in the process of requesting the payout, I was informed and actually had to click on a box stating that I understood:
You must keep your account active during the waiting period for a payment. If 10 days go by without checking and CONFIRMING emails that they send to you, they place your account in an inactive state. If this happens, your credit (money) does not disappear, you just need to re-activate it in order to request the payment again.
I understand the frustration you may have had, but I don't feel it's something they were intentionally being misleading about. You just have to remember to always read policies on websites and businesses such as this. I haven't received my check from them yet (I'm supposed to receive it the first week of February) but if I have any problems, I'll come back and report it here.

It rained throughout Sunday's Celebration on Central, but a large crowd braved the elements and enjoyed food, children's activities, health screenings and other activities during the eighth annual event.
"The turnout's been fabulous," said Epi Sauseda, a member of the Lodi Mexican-American Lions Club. "It's a worthwhile event. People get to be screened for blood pressure, glaucoma and diabetes."

My Grandpa's name was Lawrence Stoecker, although most people called him "Bud". He designed his first version of a modern Christmas tree made of concentric rings in the mid 1960's. He loved making things with his hands and even had his own business building and selling A-frame cabins in the Rocky Mountains. The business meant long hours of work and required the support of the entire family. His four sons and daughter were all his employees.
The tree was originally made of card board, then Masonite board before he finally settling on Plexiglas. He refined the design as well throughout the 1970's and 80's. The tree was a highlight of Christmas Eve's spent at their home near Boulder Colorado. As kids we would put our heads under the tree and look up.
Then he would slowly spin the tree. So beautiful! In 2006 we helped move my Grandma and Grandpa into a retirement community. When moving some stuff in their garage I uncovered his tree. Although he hadn't but it up for Christmas in nearly 15 years it still brought back many great memories for me. I asked him if I could have it and of course he said yes. I think he got a kick out of me even wanting it.
I put the tree up in my house that Christmas and there it stayed for several years. Shortly after my Grandma passed away he has diagnosed with Alzheimer's. That's when I decided to show his tree. I updated it, made some changes and revealed it at the Denver Modernism show in 2011. Would people love it like I do? They would.
Sadly, he passed away on September 25th 2012 a week before I was issued a patent on the design. Weeks later our family celebrated his life at an exhibition of his trees at the original Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. The exhibit continues to be a part of Disney's annual holiday festivities.
The tree has also been photographed in a few of the most important mid century modern homes in the United States, including the Stahl House in Los Angleles, CA designed by Pierre Koenig and immortalized by the photographs of Julius Schulman. The list also includes the Sculptured House designed by Charles Deaton, later coined the Sleeper House, made famous by the movie Sleeper, directed and starring Woody Allen.
My Grandpa's signature is laser engraved on the bottom ring of every tree made and a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Alzheimer's Association in his name.
Bliss keeps these loving memories alive seen in the detailed craftsmanship and design of the Modern Christmas trees, just as his grandfather would have done. It's our great pleasure that Bliss now offers the tree to you, your family, and friends. Modern Christmas trees are made of durable and lightweight acrylic. Each tree includes an LED light, rotating mirror ball, ornament options and installation kit. Prices range from $299 to $799 in our store front.
It's with great pleasure that we share our family tradition with you and your loved ones, in the hopes that it becomes your family tradition as well!
From our family to yours, Happy Holidays! Modern Christmas Trees, Matthew Bliss

The box said it was worth $19,999 and he asked me how much I wanted it for. I asked him how much he'd give it to me for he said 500; I said 300 and we settled on $380. Then we had an adventure around miami with my ATM card. We went to my bank drive thru (Washington Mutual) and they had no cash, then we went to 2 different gas stations and a 7-11 but my card didn't work in any of them so I borrowed my fathers ATM card and took money out from his bank (Wachovia). I even went home to look for money before borrowing the card with these guys!! Throughout the adventure the guys convinced me into buying 2 "400 watt" audiofile speakers they have with them for $90 each. I can't believe I fell for it.
But I got one of the guy's phone number. He's an idiot, he told me where he went to school and when he graduated and gave me his phone number. When I got home before installing the system I went online to see how much they were really worth and I came across this website. I immediately called him telling him I called my uncle and he told me that there has recently been a similar scam like this and he believed me and sounded scared. I was clear with him and told him i wanted my money back, he said ok and he was gonna call his friend, he sounded nervous.
After calling him two more times in which he told me his friend hadn't called him back yet, his friend calls me from a blocked phone number and tells me "Listen stop harrassing us, you got ripped off, go online and you'll see you're not the only one, you're not getting your money back, don't waste your time, make it easier on yourself and just accept the fact that you've been had"
I interrupted him and told him I was on my way to the car rental and I knew all about it from my uncle who was a "cop" and that he better come to my house with my money or I was gonna tell my uncle to go ahead and report them since I also told him I had his license plate. He got nervous for a bit but then said he couldn't give me the money so we ended the conversation.
I even recently called the first guy that gave me his number telling him it's ok I don't want my money I just want to know how the hell he pulled it off cause I want to do the same thing; he sounded hesitant and still denied knowing that he pulled a scam on me. His friend is telling me I've been had and he's denying knowing anything.
This guy sounds scared and I will probably call him back tommorow after I contact the detective in the city of miami. By the way if you're interested in his phone number contact me by using the rebuttal box below. I just want to find out were he lives so we can settle this! If any of the media gets a hold of this please contact me because i want to get these guys!

I would like to warn everybody about www.staminus.net and their dodgy hosting practices.
They offer DDOS protection, but they also FAKE the amount of attacks on your site, keeping you a slave to their services (at least you think you need them).
They offer a panel for customers to see how often your site is under attack. In my case, 90% of the attacks were fake. After moving to another hoster, all the sudden pretty much all those daily DDOS attack stopped.
It's a mirracle? No certainly not, it's MATT, Staminus.net's owner playing games with you.
Apart from those attacks, their network is terribly slow compared to competitors, and has an up-time of less than 99%. Some months I even saw around 95%.
Even though they promise 99.9%, in the 10 months that I was with them, not once did I get even close to that number.
STAY AWAY! If you need DDOS protection, look elsewhere than staminus!

Gooner asking for Help !!!
manutd. com is usually where people go for ticket info but ok.
carling cup and cl group games are normally open general sale once the initial application for season ticket holders and members has passed.
prem matches are normally season ticket holders and members only as demand is normally higher than supply so it goes to a ballot.
the wolves cc game is at this time on general sale but upcoming prem game spurs is sold out and wolves in the prem is still being balloted.
ftr i applied for my wba tickets when the window opened on sept 4th, 6 weeks before the game, which is the norm with prem games.
and yes i got the 5 tickets i applied for as all 5 of us were members.
in other words its 1 ticket per member, a member can only purchase a ticket for a non member if the tickets are on general sale.
even if your not serious, this might help someone who would genuinely like to go to a matchSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Lynden many thanks. I am totally serious and have been to the Utd official site. It is run along the same lines as the Arsenal tickets site. Yep we have a stock a red and silver membership cards shared between friends and family.
Just love footie and have to say I have never been to OT so would love it. Not prepared to get the membership though. The group stage will do.
Cheers Lynden very clear info.

If its a one off game Andy and you dont want to pay for membership etc (and I am not advocating this) but touts may be your best bet. There are always plenty of people selling on the day and depending how long you want to wait before kick off you can sometimes get them for a few quid more than face value. Granted its not a guaranteed way of getting a ticket but it works most times. They are normally milling about on the road up towards The Trafford pub (runs up from the East Stand)
I normally get my tickets from other season ticket holders but obviously this isnt an option for you. Dont think I have ever applied via the website.
Like I said, some will disapprove of the tout option but gets you a ticket if you are a one off visitor most of the time.

Join us for the second annual CIA Sommelier Summit!
Randall Grahm will be presenting at the Tuesday, April 25th (10-11:15 a.m.)
Breakout Session:
Natural Wines: WTF? (What's the fuss?)
Just a quick heads-up/disaster preparedness warning: My first book, "Been Doon So Long: A Randall Grahm Vinthology," has been published by the generally sober and presumably reputable University of California Press. The book is a compendium of the choicest bits of Dooniana from the newsletters over the last twenty years, as well as some work that has been published in sundry journals, magazines, reviews and revistas, in addition to some new bespoke pieces.
New Book Excerpt! Doon to Earth
In 2009, two years after the sale of Big House and Cardinal Zin brands, there is still considerable confusion about what precisely has been sold and exactly who or what constitutes Bonny Doon in its current incarnation. Most disturbingly, it now appears to be karmic payback time after my years of pushing the envelope, marketing- and promotion-wise. The wines we are now producing are much better and more "serious" – if by that we mean as winegrowers we are more focused and attentive – but I fear my reputation as a jocular marketeer may forever-doom (or doon) my chances of the world ever taking the wines themselves seriously.

Listen, as I discuss Popelouchum and the ongoing crowdfunding initiative with Laurie and Tom from On the Menu:
I'd like to share with you some of the things I have learned in lo, these many years in the wine business.

(If you don't know, Pinot is incredibly difficult to do well […] Read more and join the conversation...
I became a winemaker and winery owner some thirty years before seemingly everyone else on the planet decided that they wanted to become one too.1,2 Apart from not particularly welcoming the rash of competition, it has been fairly easy for me to attribute slightly less noble motivations to the arrivistes than I imagine I harbor […] Read more and join the conversation...
We are getting set to launch a fairly ambitious crowd-funding initiative in a few short days,1 which will allow us to continue to establishment a very unusual vineyard, Popelouchum, as I call it, in San Juan Bautista. I haven't really made the scope of this project much of a secret, but I'm thinking (and hoping) […] Read more and join the conversation...

DANIELSON - A figure of the baby Jesus was taken from a Danielson manger display last week, town officials said.
The figure, part of a nativity scene in Davis Park, was discovered missing late last week, said Tracy Waggoner, director of the Killingly Parks & Recreation Department.
"This isn't the first time this has happened," Waggoner said. "It's been taken several times in past years and then returned. We're hoping the same thing will happen this year."
The nativity scene is maintained by the Rite Aid distribution center in Dayville. At this point, the police are not involved, Waggoner said.

I kept calling to find out what was happening because things were not progressing as I'd been told they would be, and each time it was because something wasn't in their system properly. Something that I'd written clearly or repeated several times over the phone.
They had no problem taking money out of my account - especially when I called them to dispute a bounced check fee from them on my account and re-repeated my account number to them!
Finally payments started being made to my creditors however I received numerous calls from creditors saying I was past due and that the proposal for consolidation by FCCC had been denied. They weren't even sure who FCCC is! I also received notice by USPS mail that these proposals had been denied.
The creditors stated firmly that they never accept a proposal without a payment - ever. FCCC stated that they ALWAYS send in the proposal and the payment later and the creditors knew that. FCCC claimed they had an acceptance letter from my creditors on file and that they would continue to make payments.
However, consolidation has yet to be done because I still receive over-limit and late fees yet I am still paying FCCC a $35 fee each month for maintaining the minimum balance - something I could do myself for free! Every time I called to get things straightened out I was placated insulted or intimidated by a customer service member with promises that never followed through.
I am so far in debt now because they said they would help but it took them 5 months (including the run-around with their enrollment company) to even attempt a payment. They have yet to live up to their business promises.

exaggerating just a bit?
AUTHOR: Rick - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 01, 2005POSTED: Friday, July 01, 2005
With all the inconsistencies and things that make no sense in your complaint I tend to think you are exaggerating and just out to bash them. First, you stated both you "enrolled with them" and "with their enrollment company." They did not do enrollment so you definitely did not enroll with them. Also, Consumer Credit Counseling is not an enrollment agency, you can look them up online. You are so quick to point fingers and don't even have the facts straight and don't even know who you enrolled with!
You also say your creditors received and denied proposals, but did not know who they are. They got a proposal from them and do not know who they are? Another contradiction?
You also wrongly combine the proposals and payment thing and take it out of context. I got acceptance letters from my creditors that congratulated me and told me they needed a payment from Family Credit within 30 days to make them valid. I still have the letters. They did not say the payment needed to arrive simultaneously as you seem to think.
Another contradiction is your claim about bank account problems. How did they have no problem taking your money if they had the wrong account # and you had a bounced check fee? I have yet to have someone take money out of my bank using the wrong account number. Sure sounds like there was a problem getting your money. That being said, I doubt they would be in business long if they can't even figure out how to draft money, so it could not have been intentional! I paid them with money orders so I can't comment first hand on their bank drafts.
Now we get to the part where you demonstrate you do not know what "consolidation" is since you said it was never done because you still have fees. Consolidation is simply combining all your bills into one payment. If they only got payment from you once a month than this was done. Fees have nothing to do with it. You seem too busy shifting blame to even learn what you're talking about.
Lastly, you go back to the payment issue. I simply can not believe it took 5 months to straighten out an account #. Slight exaggeration? If your bills needed to be paid and they had the wrong bank account you could have used the money to pay your bills. You want us to believe you just let this go on for months and had accounts becoming past due waiting for this incompetent company to straighten it out? If it were me and it took more than a week to fix I would have gotten rid of them. Who in their right mind would wait so long and let their credit rating get even worse?
I know when I started with them and I had past due accounts I got alot of phone calls from my creditors for the payment. I would not have tolerated that for 5 months, that is absurd.
Again, I had some obstacles and speed bumps with them, but I am glad I did it and I am out of debt. You want us to feel bad for you that you let your accounts go neglected and just called them to be intimidated. Nobody can intimidate you into staying with them and you seem to want to sit back and shift all the blame. I'm sure it is not all as one-sided as you make it out to be and both parties here have some responsibility.
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?

Asthma: Limit asthma attacks caused by colds or flu
By Mayo Clinic Staff — From mayoclinic.com September 7, 2011 817
Respiratory infections such as colds and the flu are one of the most common causes of asthma flare-ups, especially in young children. A stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, fever or other signs and symptoms caused by a cold or flu (influenza) virus can be a nuisance. But if you have asthma, even a minor respiratory infection can cause major problems. Asthma signs and symptoms such as wheezing and chest tightness may not respond as well to regular asthma medications. Also, asthma symptoms caused by a respiratory infection may last for several days to weeks.
There's no sure way to keep yourself or your child from getting a cold or the flu. But taking steps to avoid getting sick — and taking the right steps when you do — can help.
Preventing colds and the flu
Take these steps to help you avoid getting sick:
Get an annual flu shot if your doctor recommends it. Most adults and children over 6 months old should get a flu vaccination every year. If you do get a vaccination, you'll need a shot (injection), since nasal spray vaccinations, such as FluMist, aren't recommended for people with asthma. You or your child may need vaccinations for more than one type of flu virus.
Ask your doctor if you need a pneumonia vaccination. Most people need to get this vaccination only one time, but in some cases a booster shot is needed.
Avoid contact with anyone who's sick. Germs that cause respiratory infections are easily passed from person to person.

Scientists are amassing evidence that suggests exposure to tetraethyl lead — the additive once used in almost all the gasoline sold in the United States — could account for the dramatic increase in crime that happened in this country between the 1960s and 1980s. As leaded gasoline was phased out, they say, children were exposed to less lead, leading to the decline in crime that began to really kick in in the 1990s.
This is the same curve of crime statistics that economist Steven Levitt, of Freakonomics fame, attributed to the legalization of abortion. Levitt's theory was that, after Roe v. Wade, there were fewer unwanted babies born into dire circumstances and, thus, fewer people to grow up on the path to criminal behavior. Levitt matched the rise in abortion rates to the decrease in crime, but frankly, there are a lot of things that you can correlate to the decrease in crime.
What makes the lead theory interesting is that correlations match not just at the national level, but at regional, and even neighborhood levels. Increases in lead relate to increases in crime — usually a couple of decades later. Likewise decreases in lead relate to later decreases in crime. What's more the same correlations exist in countries all over the world. Meanwhile, we know that lead has big impacts on growing bodies — it affects brain function, it's linked to hyperactivity, difficulty managing aggression, and lowered IQ.
Correlation isn't causation. But in this case they definitely seem to be winking suggestively at one another. Read the rest
Over the past few years, multiple people have died in Thailand from what appears to be exposure to some kind of poison. Most of these people have been tourists. And most of them have been young women. The deaths have happened in clusters. Five or so on the island vacation hotspot of Kho Phi Phi. Another group of six at Chiang Mai's Downtown Inn.
Lots of possible explanations have been suggested — ranging from serial killers, to hallucinogenic beach drinks, to overuse of banned insecticides in hotel rooms. But, so far, none of the specific poisons proposed as the culprit totally makes sense in relation to the deaths. And, to make things worse, it seems like Thai authorities are doing their best to make it difficult to actually investigate what has happened in individual cases, and figure out whether the cases are linked or not. At this point, it's hard to even know whether all the people who have died exhibited the same symptoms.
Deborah Blum, a Pulitzer-winning journalist who has done a lot of reporting on poisons and true crime has been following this story and just published another piece on the still-unfolding mess.

Your daughter died.
Your daughter died thousands of miles from home. In a hotel where no one came to help. In a hospital where she struggled to keep breathing and just couldn't. In a room where her heart – and somehow you still don't really believe this – just stuttered to a stop. In a country, where authorities have failed for months, years even, to tell you how or why your daughter died.
To be fair, there are really only a few ways that London's Hunterian Museum would end up with the uterus of a young woman floating in a jar. Given that the museum is home to surgical specimens, many of which were collected in the days before surgery involved anesthesia, it's easy to guess that the story behind the uterus is not a pretty one.
But at The Chiurgeon's Apprentice blog, we learn that the story is even more grisly than you might have suspected. In fact, it belonged to a woman who committed suicide by drinking arsenic in 1792. She was, at the time, a month or so pregnant. Medical historian Lindsey Fitzharris writes about the autopsy:
Read the rest
In his [autopsy] report, Ogle remarked that her stomach contained 'a greenish fluid, with a curdy substance…an effect produced by the arsenic'. He also noted that there was 'an uncommon quantity of blood in the vessels of the ovaria and Fallopian tubes' and that it was 'evident, from this circumstance, that conception had taken place'.Nevertheless, when told that the date of her last period had only been 'a little more than a month before her death', Ogle began to question whether Mary had been pregnant when she died.
Curious to know the truth, Ogle removed the 'organs of generation' and gave them over to the famous anatomist, John Hunter, whose interest in pregnant cadavers was well known. Hunter injected the arteries and smaller vessels of the uterus with a wax-like substance so that 'the whole surface became extremely red'.
Last month, I read Deborah Blum's The Poisoner's Handbook , a really fascinating book about poison and murder in the early decades of the 20th century. Primarily, Blum looks at the development of forensic science and how the New York City coroner's office transitioned from being a place to stash political flunkies to being a scientific and effective player in crime solving. But there's another theme to the book as well—without science, there are many crimes that go not just unpunished, but completely unnoticed.
And this isn't just about women offing their husbands or villains chloroforming unsuspecting strangers. As the coroner's office developed standards of research and became an entity that served justice, the people who worked there became increasingly aware of the ways that the powerful profited off poisoning average workers and consumers. From government agents intentionally lacing alcohol with deadly adulterants during Prohibition, to factory owners knowingly exposing their workers to dangerous chemicals, Blum's book is full of examples of public corruption that was only brought to light because coroners took the time to apply the scientific method to investigating and cataloging deaths.
Some of these stories are ones I'd heard before, but had no idea the role that coroners and forensics had played in exposing the crime and providing evidence that ensured the people harmed received justice. For instance, Blum has a couple of posts on her blog right now about tetraethyl lead—the lead in "leaded" gasoline. This additive fixed an obnoxious mechanical problem in car engines, but at the price of sending factory workers to their deaths in straight jackets. Read the rest

A lot of locals fit your typical New Yorker stereotype but there is a lot of vibrant street culture
You get all four seasons, very cold in the winter. Streets are a mess when it snows.
I like that NYU really enforces attendance for academic classes. I know that if you miss two classes, you're subject to fail which really puts a pressure and encourages students to make it to their classes.
I was dealing with a few financial aid issues because I received my financial aid package quite late. Figuring out how much I received and how much I still owed became a hassle, especially because one person told me I owed one amount and someone else told me I owed more! I also do not like that they only have one option for a payment plan, instead of having a few, more flexible payment plans for their students.
The only way I am affected my weather is when I am commuting to school, especially during winter storms. It has been one of the coldest winters here in New York so subway delays and packed trains aren't exactly ideal. But, I manage.
Drug Safety:
I personally haven't seen any drug or alcohol issues. I've seen bars and restaurants with bars, but I assume they take the proper steps to ensure someone is of age before serving them alcohol.
not really a good idea to have a car, but between public transportation and nyu transportation you wont really need it

its the best, it is NYC
not that strict but if RA's do have to write you up if you are caught
Greek Life:
its stupid, its all about money
Off-Campus Housing:
either ou can get a really good place at a high price or an average place
lots of clubs but not a school to come for sports
they use top of the line macs in most places
the weather is new york weather
the physics program is one of the best in the nation
Campus Housing:
its too pricy for what is given
Greek Life:
I haven't heard much about it.
No one cares about sports here. But the gyms are nice.
It's usually always slightly cold and rainy. But whatever.
The classes are very challenging and intellectually stimulating.
For the important stuff like plagiarism, they are very strict. But for other stuff I'd say it's like any other college.
Drug Safety:
They try to make sure everyone is educated about drugs.
Off-Campus Dining:
NYC has more restaurants than you will ever be able to visit.
Campus Housing:
Some of the housing options they offer are great, but others are absolutely horrible. And the RAs are very strict.
Local Area:
The city is not for everyone, but for me I couldn't live anywhere else.

NYU offers students a taste of the hustle and bustle they will most likely encounter in the real world once they graduate. It is an overpopulated institution, so you have to be ready to fight to gain certain academic opportunities, but cultivating such a habit may serve as indirect training for new graduates when they have to go about securing jobs in their respective fields. Life at NYU demands a certain kind of disposition; thus, it is not for everyone. For students who love NYC and the challenge and experience it offers, it is an exciting and ever-changing community. For those who desire a community-rich college experience, NYU is lacking in that area. However, you can make an amazing experience out of what the school does offer. Whatever your choice, get ready for a mix of demanding academics and wild experiences in the city. Finding a balance between the two is key at this big-city school.
Many students claim that the best part about attending NYU is living in New York City, while other students complain about the school's large tuition. Most often, students are dissatisfied with the lack of a campus or school spirit, and many students believe that the institution is run too much like a business, with the school using millions of dollars to make NYU a global institution instead of supporting its current students. Otherwise, most students appreciate the various benefits of living in the city, such as diverse and exciting nightlife options, a broad range of cuisines, and prestigious and diverse internship opportunities.
