1. Failed to carry out my instructions,
2. Made false statements regarding explicit contractual matters,
3. Failed to apply billing statements in accordance with its own policy statements.
4. Failed to provide notices and descriptions of charges
5. Applied an exorbitant charge for cancellation
These charges stem from the following informally stated occurrences.
1. Earthlink employee had either made the wrong entry or made no entry to change my account status.
2. A $19.95 charge for the month following my request for change allegedly represented the original account type fee plus a $10.00 charge for digital service, which I neither needed or requested. I dont have DSL or ISDN, 56K analog modem.
3. Evidently the dial-up contractor had been metering my dial-up hours over the months as though my account type were Limited+ and not notified Earthlink so they could pass it on to me on a monthly basis, as required.
Key to this matter is the competence level of Earthlink agents, because once shown by two examples that its representatives clearly do not understand or are unfamiliar with the Terms and Conditions and the User Agreement contracts, it can be next concluded that failing to carry out my instructions to change account Type is also believably attributed to the same incompetence.
According to the documented interaction with:
Fabio V.
Electronic Support
EarthLink, Inc.
The #1 Provider of the Real Internet
This support person in an email to me regarding this circumstance stated: We have not received any requests to update the account to unlimited access.
The same agent states in another email breaks down the charges including a:
$10.00 digital surcharge which is applied when an analog dial up account accesses the internet using by means of a digital connection such as ISDN.
When a search on the Earthlink site for the text string digital surcharge is performed, the query returns the following text:
No pages on the EarthLink Site were found containing "digital surcharge".
h Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
h Try different keywords.
h Try more general keywords.
h Expand your search for "digital surcharge" to the entire Web.
Fact is, agent Favio V. is incorrect about the $10.00 digital surcharge. Is he to be believed when he says Earthlink did not receive a request to from me for Unlimited access?
In an email response from agent:
Chris K.
Electronic Support
EarthLink, Inc.
The #1 Provider of the Real Internet
He says: Any customer subscribing to any service of ours can choose to use an ISDN modem.
This too is incorrect. In the section "EarthLink ISDN Usage" on its Web site, the following statement is available: ISDN use is not available to subscribers with an EarthLink Limited account.
Chris K. and Fabio V. are sitting there pounding out incorrect statements about my Earthlink service as stated publically on their site, either knowingly misrepresenting Earthlink policy to cover for the other errors in my account management, or they are utterly incompetent.
A second major issue is with Earthlink billing practice. From the following statements, billing is done only on a monthly basis for services used during that month. Furthermore, the constraints of billing on a monthly-only basis is reinforced in the "Miscellaneous" section that the agreement about payments constitute the entire agreement, meaning statements about monthly billing cycles are the only basis for billing to be done by Earthlink. Note the following direct contractual statement from the Earthlink site, which validates my claim.
User Agreement
You will be charged a monthly charge for the Service.
Later in the same section it states:
Charges are billed to your credit card or debit card, as applicable, each month for the Service and any additional usage or services.
This Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, and EarthLink's other Agreements and policies posted on EarthLink's Web site constitute the entire agreement between you and EarthLink with respect to your use of the Service.
So, when the following statement appears, is the customer to assume he used 286.99 extra hours in the month prior to April 24 and zero extra hours for the months of November, December, January, February, and March? Not likely by logic and not true by my attestation.
Date Description Qty Price Amount
-------- ------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------
Previous Balance .00
04/24/02 Apr 24-May 23:Limited Monthly 1.00 9.95 9.95
04/23/02 Apr 24-Apr 23:Hours used 296.99
04/23/02 Apr 24-Apr 23:Extra Usage Hour 286.99 1.00 286.99
Current Charges: 296.94
Balance Due: 296.94
Sent to
Balance Due: .00
Again, this shows incompetence on Earthlinks part. Billing practice is not faithful to its stated User Agreement conditions.
In order to cancel Earthlink service, I called the specified number on the Earthlink site. While Earthlink claims cancellation can only be activated by calling that number, in fact it was not possible to cancel by calling this number. Earthlink's own Web site posts a cancellation call-in number no longer used for that purpose. This is another indicator that management at Earthlink is out of control, and thus has badly mismanaged my account. I had to call another number to affect cancellation.
After cancelling Earthlink service on May 23, I received another debit on my credit card account on May 31, of $83.71. This debit appeared with no notification or explaination. I presume this is the fee for cancellation that apparently appears somewhere on their site, according to other Rip-Off-Report reporters.
Finally, during a conversation to cancel my Earthlink service, the agent failed to provide his name, and refused to transmit text in electronic or paper format concerning the proceedings of the cancellation or the cancellation number, indicating the Earthlink policy of hiding or obscuring traceabiltiy for committed action of this agent.
In summary, I am not obligated to pay the $380 in full, because Eathlink has mismanaged the account, lied about the policy conditions applicable to this account to cover for errors made, and misapplied billing practice to recover losses attributable to misplaced information from its dial-up connections contractor. Earthlink has further gone to extremes to apply unfair business practice, either through the actions of incompetent agents, or the intentional policy of using obscure and unreasonable contract clauses, by failing to provide invoices to explain charges, and prolifically applying ruse in the form of delays, telephone call misdirection, agent misstatement, incorrect information about its business practice on its Web site, and failed agent statement traceability.
Earthlink has egregiously failed to act in good faith on its "Values," as stated on its site:
"We require complete honesty and integrity in everything we do.
We make commitments with care, and then live up to them. In all things, we do what we say we are going to do."

Joseph Nicoletti seen my company on the internet and called me about promoting my company and artist at a low price.
He ask me to wire him $2900.00 for a two year contract to get my artist shows and interviews.
The next day he called me and ask for $1100.00 to make 5000 CDs to send to a radio station over seas, and I told him that I was not giving him any more money until I see what he is doing.
He would call my artist and ask him for money and tell him to talk to me about sending him money.
He was to send me a copy of every place he send my music, but he never did.
He want answer my phone calls or send me any more email now that he have my $2900.00 he's
a scam artist and a fast talker that know how to talk you out of your money.
He contacted me June 27, 2012 and that when I wired him the money.
I hope he is found and put away for all the 1000's of dollars he has scam so many people out of.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, September 20, 2012POSTED: Thursday, September 20, 2012
I been in this business over 30 years and never had a complaint about the work that I do for my clients, because if I can not do what you want I will tell you and not take your money, but that's not the case with Mr. Nicoletti he stop calling me after I would not give him any more money. He say he call my artist every week, but I don't know why I'm the one who gave him the money not my artist.
He did not contact my artist until he found out about the complaint, because we both tried to contact him to see what he had to report to us and he has not called me back yet.
He call my artist and said that is why he don't like working with low-level people, but what he don't understand is that we has been signed to Universal Music for 4 years and don't work out of a one bed room apt, we only tried to help him. They say never bite the hand that feed you, but he tried to take the whole arm !

Definition of Bajan in English:
adjective& noun
Informal term for Barbadian.
Example sentences
- What may have prevented federal prosecutors from bringing charges against other Bajans, including one woman, is a lack of strong evidence that they knew fraud and money laundering were occurring and participated in them.
- And our observations in Barbados, (born out entire by totally subjective observation) was that Bajans can live in dignity on less money because their cost of living is lower.
- Wherever you find yourself on the island - and if you drive that will be in some remote parts - Bajans were unfailingly friendly, which given the aforementioned road sign problems was a Godsend.

that's transylvania, afaik it's only became part of romania recently and transylvania has a different and much longer/richer history
#78 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
too bad Dacia has nothing to do with romania.... other than romania is on the same land. Romanian =/= Romans (or dacian) even if your people think that way (only romanians think that btw)(one of the many reasons italians hate romanians)
romania is no less than 200-300 years old... transylvania is way older. when the so called thieves were there romanians didn't even exist. everything romania is famous for comes from transylvania (meaning it's not your achievement)
romania also got transylvania for betraying it's allies in the world war (given to them by french... funny cuz your only car "dacia" is more than 99% french and it was never actually romanian but french)
#177 - bboywakear (07/20/2013) [-]
Dude.. Romania was made by the Dac people who were conquered and who united with romans. So romans actually took a big part in this country. *sorry for my fail english *
#102 - scantoz (07/19/2013) [-]
Also we retook Transylvania after ww1 from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. What allies are you smoking? We went into ww1 in 1916 against Germany. In 1918 After the fall of the austro-hungarian empire fell they had a vote to put Transylvania a part of Romania and the majority of the territory and people were Romanians.
#116 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
oh i didn't notice this one... romania did change sides in ww2 (which is betraying it's allies)
#124 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
i don't know where you got that became smaller thing. google "union with romania"
seems like that you should get to know more about your own country's history
#180 - anon (07/20/2013) [-]
i'm german. and you only lost moldova, and gained northern part of transylvania. you can't say you got smaller when you were smaller in the beginning to start with.
#83 - scantoz (07/19/2013) [-]
Also the thing Transylvania is famous for is Dracula.. A Romanian Price.. Seriously.. Where do you get your information? And Italians hate us because they have nothing better to do.. They think we're all Gypsies while clinging on the Idea that Italy was once part of the Roman Empire. Where the fuck did I say Romanians=Romans? and Dacia was Bought by the French....(The Car Company)
#92 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
every dacia made (even the old ones) is a copy or a low-budget of a renault car. afaik dacia only made 1 (maybe more, not so sure i just wikied this) car by itself which noone wanted.
#100 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
actually.. old ones used everything from renault... well... they new ones too. Renault may pay to design cars (they don't), but every Dacia is 100% renault. (just look for renault logan for example.. or just look up dacia and see for yourself).
Renault only bought Dacia because it was bankrupt and to make low budget cars
#86 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
romanian language is in the latin "family"... it is pretty similar to any other latin languages (italian, spanish, etc)
romanina language is pretty new, it didn't exist 2000 years ago, or even 500 years ago. it's a branch of balkan romance (balkan romance - proto romanian - romanian)
#101 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
i guess you should also look up your own history that wasn't written by romanians
romans were long dead when romanian became romanians (around the end of 1870's)
#107 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
you said romans took over romania... which is untrue because they didn't exist when romania became a thing
#109 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
well you didn't say which one... and like i said Dacia has nothing to do with Romania
#111 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
actually that's what i'm studying... so yea
also back to the language... branches aren't taught, they are made
#114 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
yea well you can look up everything i said whether they are true or not. just try to avoid stuff written by romanians, because that's why you know shit about your own nation/country.
#121 - scantoz (07/19/2013) [-]
How we got Transylvania back. The French gave us what for betraying our allies?
What Transylvania is Famous for.
The most patriotic of Romanians are the Maramuresi people who consider themselfs the free Dacs and are part of the northern part of Transylvania.
#126 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
also when vlad lived, romania didn't even fucking existed... there is like 400 years difference... seriously?
#179 - scantoz (07/20/2013) [-]
Vlad came from the part where our capital is.. Honestly.. I need you to stop being a dick head... Im just going to say one last thing.
Transylvania has been under the control of many empires and the majority population were of Romanian (Im not saying Romania was formed at the time, im saying theyre Romanians because that's what we are, unless we classify ourselves as Dacs.) Austro-Hungary was in control of it recently and after the collapse of the empire the people had a vote to join the rest of Romania. Transylvania's history is ours or else please explain the millions of people who speak the Romanian language that have been located in Transylvania, Did they magically appear out of thin air?
#183 - anon (07/20/2013) [-]
you can also check the theories. wiki only states basic theories by romanian and german and austrian but still gives an idea to see in what they differ.
#181 - anon (07/20/2013) [-]
just because vlad came from a part that romanian's later "took over" that doesn't mean he was romanian.
they spoke a version of latin, from which romanian originates. they did not speak romanian as you think of, they spoke something that is similiar to it.
#125 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
Treaty of Paris.... paris... french .. i dunno man
#88 - anon (07/19/2013) [-]
also romanian language can be called as an italian copy (so to speak, not exactly true, but not exactly wrong either)

Hi, and congratulations for the awesome theme. I tried a lot of themes for my static website but it seems travelify was meant to be the one!
I have a question.
I removed the copyrights but ONLY from showing (display:none;) and NOT completely removing from code, so,
is it ok with you to use my "terms of policy" showing in the footer area instead of the copyright? I dont want to make my own copyright and you can have your link to your company, I just want something to fill the space

Frequency stabilization of transverse Zeeman He–Ne laser by means of model predictive control77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2400021View Description Hide Description
A model predictive control (MPC) technique is proposed for the frequency stabilization of transverse Zeeman He–Ne laser. The beat frequency locking method is applied as the criterion of frequency stabilization. When heated by the voltage output of the feedback electronic circuit, the copper wire twisted around the laser tube is applied to maintain the length of the laser cavity and stabilize the frequency of the laser. Four steps for MPC design, i.e., model setup, output prediction, selection of reference path, and calculation of control quality, have been introduced. By this means, a single-chip microprocessor (80C196) generates a pulse width modulation wave that is transferred into a heating signal. The calibration result shows that the frequency stability of our proposed transverse Zeeman laser reaches by means of the MPC method.
Extreme ultraviolet diagnostics of preformed plasma in laser-driven proton acceleration experiments77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2405391View Description Hide Description
Proton acceleration experiments involving a thick Ti foil target irradiation are carried out with the femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser JLITE-X. The plasma emission at is recorded employing concave multilayermirrors, which image the front- and rear-side plasmas onto the sensitive surfaces of a fast x-ray photodiode and a backside-illuminated charge coupled device. Online time-of-flight fast-particle measurements are performed simultaneously with the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) measurements. A strong correlation is observed between the energetic proton signal and the spatiotemporal behavior of the XUV plasma emission. In particular, the longer duration of the prepulse-produced XUV plasma emission indicates a lowering of the maximum proton energy. This allows using the XUV emission for the diagnostics of the high-intensity laser–solid-target interaction.
Cusp type electrostatic analyzer for measurements of medium energy charged particles77(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2405358View Description Hide Description
We have developed a new electrostatic analyzer which enables medium energy plasma particle measurements with full solid angle coverage. The design of the test model realizes the uppermost measurement energy of with applied high voltages of . Laboratory experiments with the test model analyzer show that its performance agrees with numerical simulations. The test model design is well suited for combination with a mass analysis unit, while our new design can also be applied to medium energy electron measurements. Medium energy ion/electron sensors with this new design will surely be appreciated for upcoming space missions that will observe hot/energetic plasma structures in the regions such as the inner magnetosphere or reconnection region.

A Propulsion Video making with Ragencobra to Follow! Great show!
Dec 31
Ragencobra Will endure the new Year and New Ideas! Vengeance!
Sounds Like: AC/DC, American Dog, Judas Priest, Dokken, Iron Maiden
Label: Majic Sack Records
Manager: Jeff N Sandi
Birth of RAGENCOBRA!!
In 2005, Jeff Ragencobra started the band Sukus. The band found quick fame in the Central Ohio area playing many shows, including openers with major acts such as Amercian Dog, Broken Teeth, The Godz amongst others. They also put out 2 successful CD's, Tales Of the Majic Sac...See Full Bio
"Very strong (if short) debut from Ohio rockers Ragencobra. Definite throwback sound (think mid-80s) but considering the current state of the modern rock scene, I don't really see that as a negative. Production quality falls a bit short of a major label release but that's to be expected from a D.I.Y. independent band. Songwriting is very strong especially when it comes to the hooks, but if you're looking for the number one reason to fork over a 5 dollar bill for this album it's the guitar playing. Again, think mid-80s but without the over the top histrionics. Stand out tracks include "Alien Legato" (awesome riff!) and "Crippled Feeling" but really there's not a clunker in the bunch. Take a chance on these unknowns & I'm pretty sure you'll be glad you did."

We've extensively tested for false positive situations, including replicating system setups for those who have posted claiming they were banned unfairly. We've not found any situations that could produce a false positive, have found that the circumstances for which they were banned were clear and accurate, and we are extremely confident in our findings.
Playing the game on Linux, although not officially supported, will not get you banned – cheating will.
Sorry - I don't believe that for a second. The devs of this travesty of a game have proven they have very little competence. BTW - you made the front page of slashdot... You want to get intellectually beat down? Well, its incoming.
Very logical quote from a post on the slashdot thread...
And that, dear readers, is why Slashdot advice is sometimes unsound [slashdot.org]. After reading reports of client side exploits (like rumors of item duping via system clock adjustments) and understanding basic limits on server/client communication, it is apparent that Blizzard has to trust the client more than they're comfortable with. So if you look at their "warden [slashdot.org]" implementation for WoW, you can imagine that Diablo III has a similar "anti-cheat check" component running in user mode where Diablo III runs. And they probably (correctly) identify Wine as being not genuine Windows. It's an emulation. And therein lies the problem. Without setting up a highly invasive rootkit like The Warden, Blizzard cannot know if Wine is emulating Windows libraries correctly. A simple mental exercise is to imagine that the D3 client cannot query the servers every time it needs a time stamp for each event in the game -- to do so would DDOS their own servers so each client must query each user's system clock. The Windows call that does this is emulated by Wine. One could easily insert a dynamic control for this "system clock" into Wine and recompile. One of the achievements in Diablo III is to finish each act in under an hour. So a user could note the time, play to the end of an act and before beating the final boss, simply turn the clock one minute past the starting time and have Wine report that to the client. And if the client is not asking the server for these time stamps, achievement granted. This is a very coarse example for the sake of brevity but I would imagine that system timestamps affect many more aspects of the game. The rumor was that rolling back your system clock after an item sale would return the item to your inventory and you would still have the gold from selling it.
So is there actually a modified version of Wine cheating for you under your Diablo III client using the windows DLL api as a facade? Blizzard doesn't know. They can't know unless they have a rootkit that runs in super user (administrator) mode that profiles and scans all other programs for offending actions. That's how they caught WoWGlider but it would be infinitely harder with individual people like me tailoring their own versions of Wine. I am not saying their reaction is correct, I'm just trying to explain to you why they are employing arcane logic. The solution is for them to natively support Linux but that's a completely separate flame fest for which I really don't have the energy right now.

I have been observing all of these, writing to them, watching their movement on AOL and set up a purchase. When I asked for references, I received bogus emails without phone numbers. When I agreed to purchase a puppy and go through puppy escrow, I heard nothing more and my correspondence was then blocked. They would no longer accept mail from me.
When I called Travis Anderson he claimed to be experiencing some sort of an identity theft, but that is bull, too. I watched the email@example.com disappear from an ad as I spoke to him on the phone!!

The Recognition of the Composer Today (Part V of X)
at 18:15 on 11 December 2009
The Recognition of the Composer Today - Stephen Beville.
It is commonly accepted that we live in a 'visual age'. However, by drawing the attention away from the music to the
exuberance and flamboyance of the performer (thereby creating the cult of the 'rock-
' ) and the
of the performance, it seems that modern popular and rock music has indeed helped to undermine the very historical values of music nurtured over a period of centuries. This may well have began in the 19th century (or even before) thanks to the rise of the
, but reached monstrous, inflated proportions during the 20th century due to advancements in technology such as worldwide television, video and satellite communications. (Indeed, it is telling how in recent times, even the world of Opera has attempted to differentiate itself as a separate entity from classical music, despite emanating from the same socio-historical structures - and whose musical repertoire was often produced by the same composers).
the cult of the performer often overrides the quality of the music being performed
. This would explain the
importance (not only in the field of rock music) of
aimed at the number of sales and financial return. One might say that the factors of image and sex-appeal have now become tantamount to a succesful career in the 'music business'. For as everyone knows, sex sells - especially when merged with another profession to give a patent disguise of 'respectability'. The 'whore principle' now seems to override every other value in the capitalist West, in practically every industry, but most especially the music industry;
a role some musicians are happy to play
Add to that, in an age of recording and mass availability of products, commercial production and 're-dressing' as well as pre-recording for 'live' performances (complete with phoney applause) have become increasingly evident to maintain a false impression of 'stars' now working under the name of musical 'artists'. This is often to disguise a genuine lack of musical talent.
It is the difference between music that is well
and music that is well
. There is a difference between music that is well produced (and even well performed) and that which is well composed
. (If Beethoven's Fifth Symphony were simply judged by modern criteria of production values - that is according to its premiere performance in 1808 - it would have proven a complete failure, perhaps not have been enlisted for further performances and therefore not have lasted until this very day. And we would have been without one ot the greatest expressions of the human spirit).
Just as today, the majority of pop-songs seem to be composed by a musician 'behind the scenes' for a front man or woman trained in the role of acting and mime, so too are royalties and copyright fees payed to pop-
for the release of 'their' songs in score-albums usually written (notated) by someone else, then mass-distributed by capitalist publishers. However, who is the 'star'? Where does the fame and money ultimately go? Who is ultimately commemorated? The ugly falsity and hypocrisy, as supported by our capitalist publishers, music agencies, record companies and media worldwide is undeniable. In this respect, perhaps we might investigate how so many so-called stars have profited and sold us lies.
Anyone foolish enough to believe that multi-national record companies believe in real art and real artists may be profoundly deluded. That is why how many recordings you sell, how many books or reviews are written about you - indeed, how famous you are - is now, with regard to musical quality and integrity,
. For that would explain why record companies sign contracts with people in the first place; to make profit. The promotion of such 'commercial artists' (whether they realise it or not) and their products is most often to make money; for that is the only reason why they are supported by multi-nationals.
Indeed, like Hollywood, the music industry seems to embody everything that is wrong about the world. Perhaps that is why so many movie-stars find it so simple and comfortable to 'cross-over' and make successful careers in the 'music-business' and vice-versa (Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johansson are the latest in a long line of them); since the commercial retailers (multi-nationals) are often run by the same capitalist minded, musically ignorant agencies. Or is it simply the pressures of global capitalism and competition that compels such corporations to act this way? We may ask the question why is such and such rubbish, mass-distributed, mass-advertised to us....and in the majority of cases it is simply to make money.
The real question is how and why did such mediocrity, such banality ever come to our attention? And there you have it; it takes just one of two culturally/musically uneducated people in commericial power to air or produce such tantalizing but talentless entertainment - under the pretence of 'art' - together with the general lack of public (musical) education to cause a massive avalanche; a
cultural revolution. And it follows; what one or two irresponsible or uncultured people in power broadcast or publicise, creates a commerical need to employ like-minded people and the downward trajectory of society continues. In an increasingly capitalist world at large, this means global demise. All in all, like much of the Hollywood franchise we import - it adds up to a tremendous waste of money.
The boundaries between fame and infamy have become increasingly blurred, with infamy now often considered a pre-requisite to fame, wealth a power - as in the entertainment industry. Hence we now have the ridiculous situation where people are payed extraordinary amounts of money (through multi-national corporations and institutions - and here one would have to single out the film industry) to
us. In a capitalist society corruption acts as a magnet (as the career of Madonna illustrates). Fortune favours the ugly capitalist. There is massive hypocrisy in the very power structures of capitalism - in how one rises to the top. Quite literally,
it pays to be bad
. And so often such public demoralisation is applauded by our critics, as for example, in the public honouring (elevation?) of amoral actresses.
Despite its earlier origins, one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century may turn out to be our very capitalism, or at least the capitalist principle that now informs Western soceity and its 'values', of which our age of celebrity represents the apex. A principle whereby the talentless and stupid are promoted, whilst real ability, even life-enhancing genuis often lies dormant in squalor and obscurity. Due to the colossal waste of talent that goes unrecognised, the result is perhaps an immeasurable,
injustice that is barely comprehensible.
With regard to the importation of American culture, the UK seems to have become just another American state - from the mindless repetition of Hollywood blockbusters on our televison channels to our obsession with celebrity, from the prevalence of drug-addiction in our inner cities to the increase in gun crime. It may after all be the fault of humanity, or what Hobbes called our 'vile natures'. And perhaps it is grotesquely fitting that a British soceity vindicates British scepticism about the world.....
If we have no faith in the kind of soceity we have become, the only answer may be away from the trappings of the market (and collective consensus); in the individual integrity of the private artist. Salvation may indeed reside on the internet, so long as it remains distinctly multi-lateral, not subject to any one-dimensional, commercially institutionalised source. This is because the internet offers access to non-commericial information and knowledge that the popular propoganda of the media are not able to cover up; since commericial
publication is no longer any garantee of truth, musical insight or quality
. As a result, I have been told numerous times that culture is diversifying, decentralising - and I hope this is true. Perhaps then, our general culture will no longer be subject to the monopoly of television. Indeed, if it were not for the financial cost of maintaining websites, the internet would perhaps be emblematic of a true democracy. But even here, with regard to music as an independant art, one must learn to look beyond the visual.
Neither could I find this part still listed in the Forums!

liked that title better than the original one...and now that Brian is here it is also FITTING
HERE GOES NOTHING...*draws a bit breath and hits ctrl v*
Posted: 2002-11-10 23:52
well, an explination for the title: we have the 2 border collies, we have the land, we have the know how (done it for years)...we EVEN have the SHEEP...BUT alas, not the fences, so the SHEEP reside at Mom and Dad's
anyway, I read a couple of journals...rejoice when things go good, and pray when things go bad (and am thankful when it isn't me)...so, here is hoping somebody gets something out of my probably short-lived journal as well
a lil background:
I am 32, opinionated, pregnant, hormonal (and this is ......unusual?)...I am born again Christian...dispite what some have said, I know where I stand, and what others thing rarely mean much to me, but I can be irritated, which can make me...irritatING in spite of my best intentions...ah yes, and for as long as I can remember, even pre-preg this has applied
for some more mundane details, I was raised EXTREMELY conservatively...when I was rather sm our family went to the Mennonite church in Fresno, we came up here and went to a Southern Baptist-style Baptist church and I say that cuz I have modified what I believe after much soul searching and a LONG hiatus from ANY church...the lovely ladies at my folks church LOVED gossip, and I got burned...NO, I am NOT saying what I did was right, but it was certainly NOT their business, and they couldn't WAIT to go tell Mom (man this is so very very far off where I was going to go, but .......is just....sort of....cathartic
anyway, when I was 8ish we moved from Fresno to WA State...a good move, but not one I was overly thrilled with in the beginning...when I was about...10? my Grandparents moved up here...both a blessing and a curse...my G-ma and I were close, but she never let me get away with much...she didn't let ANYONE get away with much, but to give you an idea, EVERYONE called her and G-pa G-ma and G-pa and knew they loved and welcomed just about everyone...oh yeah, and a lil background, I was born on her B-day...she always called me the "best birthday present"...there is a story that goes with it, but think I will wait on that one...this post is already turning into a monster
so anyway, as a rebelious teen, I picked up a bf at 15...something rather stupid...he was definately one of the dregs of society, and my very strict parents did their best to disallow it but I could be....inspiring if I really chose to be, and we did manage some alone time...I was rather curious as to what sex really was and he was oh so willing to show me
anyway, where was I? ah yes...during the 12-13 yr church hiatus, I had 2 rather serious relationships with 2...interesting men, both 5 yrs long, both long distance, both rather foolish of me as well...yes, I slept with them, no I never got preg...they were both rather different from one another, but similar in that they were...pretty self centered, pretty lonely...one was a Hispanic guy with a low self esteem, but was a great friend b4 we started dating...for the record, I still miss that friendship, but no longer the man...I have always been into the fixer-up stuff...car, house, friends, bf as well, and I like a challenge, so I held on for dear life...I was GOING to make it work come hell or high water...ah yes, 5 yrs my senior...I can count on one hand how many times he expressed a positive "I love you" emotion towards me and have fingers left...
the second was a man 9 yrs my senior, the mighty white hunter, and what we call a road ho...meaning he worked about 4-6 mos out of the yr or more and played the rest...another fixer-upper altho he was quite a bit more self centered...this relationship was better...he was more attentive and more affectionate...we had more good times together, but whereas the good was better, the bad was.....oh so much worse...and, he didn't want kids period cuz, and yes this is a quote, "I don't want to have to share my stuff"
I should have ran, but by now I had convinced myself I didn't want kids anyway, so why not?
that one ended very badly...I did things I am ashamed of...sorry for...and learned from, I will NOT ever repeat them again (and no one has ever inspired me to that, which I find interesting)
so, I had this friend once that said if you don't want to repeat your mistakes, change tactics...date someone DIFFERENT...so for 2 (?) yrs I was single, and PICKY...I sort of took a hiatus from the steady relationship aspect and started back to church (ok, off and on)...I finally decided that if I wanted a serious relationship I should go back to church and stick to my guns...no more fixer-uppers...I got serious, joined a church, was baptised
and I didn't lower my standards, but I DID change them...I refined them...added and subtracted and voila, things started making more sense...I did the same with my beliefs, much to my Mom's dismay sometimes, but hey, is a grey area thing (and certainly NOT something I am going to post so ya all can debate me)
so anyhow, I did meet my now DH...altho it wasn't in church, it was online...interesting, and I remember telling him just about off the bat that he was too old (yes yes, 15 yrs my senior) but that I was open to more friends...and we definately bacame really good friends rather quickly...we had so much fun together, and there were NO strings...we had tons and tons of fun, and I was always up front...he was...PATIENT...and, just a friend, and there for me WHENEVER I needed him...I finally saw the light, we started dating, and got married about a 1.5 later...we had a sm wedding...and it wasn't bad...IN FACT it was about the best I have ever seen...BUT, for the record, I would still ELOPE! but then I am just WEIRD!
so, for some fill, by now G-pa has been long gone...he passed on when I was 22 I think...the Tues before Thanksgiving...G-ma moved in with my parents a few years later...
so, fast forward 2 more yrs and I am married, 32, and preg...life has certainly never been better, for the most part...we have had to move G-ma into assisted living as Mom is no longer capable...I am still very close to her, and Mom and I make a point of spending time with her...doing things with her and taking care of her...but it is getting harder...in the 3 months she was there, my son has shown himself so I know HE is my son, or at least am pretty sure of it...I have felt him move, had hiccups, and I have gone from being sorta pregnant (DH's words) to VERY pregnant, and altho she wasn't always really coherent, she is at least so very excited about the baby and does remember that...and I get to hear all her baby stories, which is pretty neat!
and when Mom went to Alaska in August, things started to happen...G-ma would get in turn much better and then much worse...she started making regular trips to the ER from her many falls and assorted problems...and it didn't stop when Mom got home either...it got progressively worse...and worse and worse and finally she was admitted to the hospital for observation...the tests I had been told by my sil to have done were FINALLY done...the news was not good at all...her dementia was caused by (from what I understand) a shut down of her kidneys spilling proteins en masse) which was also poisoning her system and her not drinking much/any water...it is sad to note I have a really good idea as to the why they shut down...I love my G-ma, please don't forget that, but she has always been a bit of a.....hypochondriac...she put a hole in her stomach eating aspirin like candy many yrs ago...she had massive back problems brought on mainly by her foolish actions (won't go there either) and I work my very best not to repeat...that brought on failed surgery's and a dependance on Tylenol 3 (T3) or Codienne, which she takes on a VERY regular basis...and then, when her brains have been a bit scrambled from the abuse, she forgets she has taken the T3 and starts to overmedicate, which would have been...about a yr.5 ago, and Mom had to take control (another long story) of her meds...at this point, she is upset cuz she needs more pills, altho the Dr says definate NO so she starts to take Tylenol and or Advil like candy, and Tums, and....
so back to recent...the tests we wanted run, came back...her kidneys have failed...there is lil to no function left in them, and she has maybe 2 months left to live, altho even that today looks...like an overly optomistic projection...in some ways she looks better, but mentally, she is mostly gone...she is also on Morphine shots for a couple of reasons...the toxins aren't good, because of her back problems being bedriddin in itself is PAINFUL...the Morphine adds to her dementia
BUT, on a lil brighter note, I have many blessings to count...I got to spend the majority of my life with a highly intelligent wonderul and loving woman that loved her family more than anything...and shared her love with the whole family, even those in her "family" that weren't blood related...today, she recognized us when we got there...Brian finally kicked for her, which she was so thrilled with...she lived her example...she was a beacon of light thru most of even the worse times (hey, we all have our moments!)...she is someone I would love for Brian to have known, so she can be his "angel"...I so don't think she will ever get to see him face to face, but at this point, I think I can handle that better then watching her for the next 2 mos like this...
and thru it all, God has blessed me...I never could have done this alone...when G-pa passed away, I was pretty much on my own, and that was...so very hard...and while I loved my G-pa, I was so much closer to G-ma (another rather long story)...I lived with G-ma for a bit, helped take care of her before she moved in with Mom...I love her so much, and this is all very hard to deal with...but now that I have Mark (DH), I do have someone to lean on...he has been so very supportive, a light when I need it...sometimes I think he should be sainted or something, but he is "just doing what he is supposed to"...I dont think I could do this alone...I certainly dont want to try...
so anyway, I see this is going to be one monster of a post already, so I will stop here...I know, too late, tmi (sorry)
but it sure feels better to get it on "paper"
I need to go see what DH is up too...last I say the dogs and Max were harrassing him so I should go rescue him...hopefully the next post won't be so very long!

It took me contacting my old mortgage company and telling them what had been going on and then calling emc and telling them that I was going to hire a lawyer to finally get them to fix the problem.
Also, EMC now say's that we are six month's behind in our mortgage and that if we do not pay three month's by the end of today 3-2-05 that they are going to foreclose on me and there is nothing that I can do about it.
So I went to a Hud counseler today who tried to talk with EMC and they were rude to her and wouldn't talk with her or even give her thier fax number that she asked for. We are not six month's behind and sence emc bought our mortgage we have missed one payment only. EMC has not sent me any papers that I have asked for, they just make very rude demands on me.

As it turns out, the person that we hired had two felony convictions for theft by swindle. This new hire had provided us with a fake DOB and SSN that did not even exist. SenturyLink did not inform us of this most basic information even though it is available without any charge whatsoever by simply running the information through the free BCA site. Ultimately, this new hire of ours ended up swindling my company as well for several thousands of dollars.
I contacted customer service at SenturyLink by phone on 4/16/13. The person that I spoke to told me to go to a website link and go through a lengthy process to request a refund for what they charged me, but then she added that I would automatically be denied.

Unreasonable Report
AUTHOR: Pat Wood - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 09, 2015POSTED: Monday, February 09, 2015
This is only my opinion, but I can't see how anyone can fault a company for giving information or lack of information based on the information YOU input into their system based on a false identity. i would think that the company requesting the background check would ask for sufficient legal, state and/or government identification, social security card AND references that can be physically confirmed (especially when concerning a position dealing with thousands of dollars).
It seems as though you are attempting to blame this company for your failure to collect the proper identification to begin with. in my opinion, this is a bad report and should have been removed. I personally would think twice about doing business with YOU if you don't take proper precautions when screening potential employees. The fact that you were doing a background check shows effort, but you completely skipped the first, and most important step.
Thank You

I called the number and was advised by someone named Kenneth Webster that I was going to be arrested because I had stolen money from Cash Advance USA.
He proceeded to tell me that I had received a loan from Cash Advance USA and that when they tried to draft my bank account the funds were returned as an NSF and that I had stolen money from them.
I have never received a loan from Cash Advance USA. When I went online to see if there was a phone number for me to call Cash Advance of course no phone number appeared.
I called my local police department to file a police report and when they called the number no one picked up. When the officer called from her cell number she was able to reach someone. When she asked the company what they did they said "we scam people."
This needs to be stopped.

So I've heard that some women experience orgasms during delivery. We hear a lot of sad and scary stories on this feed, so i'm hoping this happy birth story isn't a myth! From a FTM, I'm wondering if any of you experienced mamas had an O-moment with any of your deliveries? Fact or Fiction?! i need to know!
the big O and delivery?
I have had 3 natural child births. If there was a word to describe the opposite of an orgasm, that's how I would describe crowning . Does not feel good, but at least it's really short and I knew I was a breath away from being done. Now that was a really good feeling .
Ya the big O and my children are not even in the same ball park! I'm with you momofone.
Newest DD born 1-13-13!!!
LOL, no I definitely did not! I had an epidural, was sleeping, and then my OB checked me at 1:45 am told me it was time to push! :)
I hippo'ed but I imagine that's a natural birth thing. :)
Me {27} DH {31} .: 10/24/09 :.
{SAHM } to DD#1 Camilla Brielle 9/13/11
DD#2 Callista Brenna 1/13/13
The doctors and nurses are already going to see every bit of me, I'd prefer not to O in front of them. I'm thinking not.
OP. it does happen. A lot! Look into Ina Mays book, like someone else has mentioned. Read personal stories, and find a good web page that can show you what your options are and how to relax and really feel what your body is doing during birth. I'm not saying you have to have a natural unmedicated birthing experience, but look into it!
I feel like you might want that type of an experience! Happy and healthy 9 months!!

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
Wise people live in wealth and luxury, but stupid people spend their money as fast as they get it. (Proverbs 21:20 TEV)
The Bible says a lot about making financial investments. In fact, you can see that Proverbs 21:20 is God's IQ test! Let's see how smart you are: wise people save for the future, but foolish people spend whatever they get.
There is a question you can ask yourself that will help you save more money. It's really simple. When you get ready to buy something, ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" And then be honest enough to tell yourself.
For instance, do I really need a new car? Well, I know I'd like it. But do I really need a new car? Do I really need this upgrade? I know I'd like it, but do I really need it?
A fundamental financial principle is this: when you spend your money, it's gone. Yet when you save your money, it works for you. The problem with most of us is that we work for our money instead of letting our money work for us. If you'll do it God's way, you can get out of debt, and you can be blessed.
How will you need to adjust your finances so they line up with God's way?

I purchased headlights which were part of a rebate program, and completed the rebate requirements online. Four months later, my rebate (an American Express gift card) has not arrived. The rebate company's phone menu will not let me proceed to a live person, saying that I have not entered the correct phone number. Advance Auto Parts' customer service guy was extremely stressed on the phone, saying that only the rebate company can answer questions regarding the rebate program. I asked him for a supervisor or the headquarters, and he replied that he was at headquarters. I asked for a supervisor and told him that the rebate company is committing fraud, which I believe Advance Auto Parts' headquarters should be aware of. He repeated that I need to contact the rebate company. I told him the rebate company is non-responsive, and he told me that's not fruad. He then transferred me, without replying to my question, to the rebate company's never-ending phone menu. I have had $28 stolen by this company.

Viewer Comments: Rotator Cuff Injury - Treatments
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Rotator Cuff Injury:
Rotator Cuff Injury - Treatments
What treatments or physical therapy did you do for your rotator cuff injury?
Comment from: 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: July 05
I had a car accident last year when a single decker bus went into the back of my car. The pain in the shoulder was gradual and I managed to get physio treatment in May 2011. The physio advised me that I had whip lash and the rotator cuff and nerve endings had been damaged in the accident when I lurched forward and then back in my chair. I had 6weeks physio where I was able to raise my arm but still have problems bringing the arm back. I have been advised that this last 20% or so will take longer as the nerve endings were affected too. I can now go back to playing the sport I love (Netball) although I still have to be wary when taking the arm back too far or too quickly.
Comment from: borntodrive, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: May 12
I am 64 years old and an over the road truck driver. I have always been healthy with no bones, muscle, ect. problems. I was unloading and it was a double lazy boy couch that was wedged in under the ceiling of the trailer. I had to stand on my tip toes with my arms fully extended and work the couch loose an inch at a time. I felt a sharp sting in my right shoulder and thought I had just pulled a muscle. Two months later the soreness was still there and raising my arms above my chest or out to my side or behind was painful. Went to the doctor and they took x rays and told me I had a torn rotator cuff. Went on predisone for 10 days and then started passive exercise. After 1 and 1/2 months it was still not improving so I got predisone for another 10 days. Then I went on naproxen. From injury till now was about 6 months. Told the dr. I was not improving and he referred me for an mri and a specialist. Complete rotator cup tear. Had surgery about three weeks ago and I am wearing a sling that holds the arm pretty secure. Pain was severe, especially at night. I go and see the dr. 5/13/11 for follow up and maybe therapy. Just tripped this morning and tried to catch myself and stretched my arm and felt something give.

I take issue with the description of ultrasound to diagnose this problem. I have been a sonographer for fourteen years. Ultrasound IS NOT used to evaluate bone. Ultrasound CANNOT penetrate bone, so to say that the test is dependent on technologist ability is unfair to our profession!

I am an active 64-year-old. Some 11 years ago, had frozen shoulder from cutting a tall hedge. Took about 2 years to heal. Some 3 years ago, had difficulty moving my arm. I had lots of injections and acupuncture, over many months, and finally ultrasound and x-ray. No arthritis, but ultrasound showed a calcium spur that was grinding through rotator cuff - 2.5 cm 'partial' tear. Requested to see orthopedic specialist. Had operation to remove calcium, during op, surgeon discovered that the tear was a large, complete tear. Then had lots of physio. Shoulder did not progress as well as physio wanted. Sent back to specialist. Then sent for MRI scan, followed by further surgery to attempt to repair the tear. Tendon was frayed (from calcium spur) and muscle weak - from reduced use over long period of time because of shoulder pain. Repair held for just over 3 months, then had re-tear. Still having physio. Still have pain, disturbed sleep most nights, and limited range of movement - nothing above shoulder level. Now having physio and exercises to strengthen deltoid muscles - to take strain off rotator cuff. Swimming (breast stroke) is very helpful. Just starting to play golf again after 6 months off. Removal of calcium from shoulder has been successful, but rotator cuff repair has not. I was aware that the operation was a long shot. Surgeon has said that it would have had a better chance of success if he had seen me at the beginning - some 3 years ago. The message is, as with all things, to seek help earlier, rather than later. I find it is better to keep active and keep using the shoulder carefully and gently, otherwise it stiffens up, but I cannot, currently, carry out tasks that require strength or pressure. There is a slight improvement every day, so it is important to keep up with the daily exercises.

Some two months after completing External Beam Radiation for Prostate Cancer, I woke one morning and could not move my left arm. A trip to my doctor and an X-Ray did not determine what the problem was. A follow-up appointment with my oncologist started with concern and then a recommendation for an MRI. The MRI indicated a Rotator Cuff. As I use the VA Medical Care System, I have a six month wait to see a Shoulder Clinic Specialist. If surgery is required, there is a one year waiting list.

Had rotator cuff surgery twice. Pain still. Dr says that I don't have enough tissue to attach to bone. He says there are no replacement parts for this ligament or tissue. He say I am all done, just hurt. Must be something that can be done.

I have a great massage machine that looks like an orbital sander and vibrates deep into the muscle. Using it straight away stopped my shoulder from going stiffer and took away what stiffness I had.
