Best Bang for the buck
by jim farrar from mount airy nc | September 11, 2011
the 300 inline six is the best engine Ford ever made. olny problem I know of is the electronically limited output of the engine. fuel economy is good especially when compared to it's 8 cylinder counterpart. (10 horses at best) only 1 complaint, if you hit a large bump or pothole it can shut off the fuel supply as the computer thinks the truck has been in an accident. reset is under the dash, passenger side firewall.

Most Reliable Vehicle I've Owned
by Randall from Erie, PA | May 17, 2007
I bought this truck new in 1991 and it has needed less than $1,000 in repairs. This is probably the best truck chassis Ford has ever used. Front shocks were the only suspension component that warranted replacement. One alternator, both fuel tanks, a water pump and relay were the only non-wear items needing replacement in 16 years. The 300 cid inline six cylinder has never failed to start (with the exception of of a couple of dead batteries over the years). It provides limited horsepower, but beats any gas engine today in low rpm torque. It has pulled or hauled stumps, gravel, cars, trucks (medium duty) and any number of items without complaint. Things I would change are the trasmission, which is not up to the truck engine, and the open differential. It handles like a truck, which is great because that's what is is used for. Comfort is not the best and fuel economy is about 8 city, 12 highway. (I'm looking for my own domestic oil well). Reliability and utility far outweigh the cost of fuel. Since I do life in the rust belt, I do plan on replacing sheet metal rather than pay for a new, less trucklike truck.

MORGANTOWN -Coach Bob Huggins will be looking for firm answers to some questions he has about the West Virginia men's basketball team tonight.
That's when the Mountaineers, loaded with size and experience, open the regular season against Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash.
The contest is scheduled to begin at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern time).
Article Photos
Huggins, the nation's fourth winningest active coach, voiced several reasons for his unhappiness after last Thursday's 95-53 exhibition victory against Glenville State at the Coliseum.
Huggins lamented, "After today, I don't know if I want to play. I've got some guys if they don't play harder than what they did today, I really don't need them to play.
"We went through supposedly trying to grow up. If they haven't grown up by now, they're not going to grow up."
Huggins was especially disappointed by what he considered a lack of effort by some of his players.
Against Glenville State, West Virginia shot 50 percent from the field (37 of 74) and forced 26 turnovers. But there were some areas in which he thought he found there were flaws.
Gonzaga, ranked No. 21 in preseason polls, defeated WVU 77-54 last season to eliminate the Mountaineers from the NCAA tournament.
Deniz Kilicli, who is expected to be a leader of WVU's team, readily admitted that he saw several mistakes that need correcting. The veteran 6-foot-9 forward had a team-high 19 points in the exhibition game.
He said, "If we played Gonzaga (Tuesday), I wouldn't know what would happen. We are not 100 percent in a 'go' mode."
But the Mountaineers still had three guys to prepare before leaving for today's midnight search for revenge.
Huggins mentioned some things that needed fixed. He stated, "We didn't run the floor. We didn't get the loose balls. We didn't pass the ball very well.
"There's a lot of stuff to do.
However, Huggins remains hopeful that his players will measure up to their potential and go all out against Gonzaga.
"We're going to go out there and play like crazy," he said. "At least we'll know what we have to fix or how food we are or how bad we are.
"I would rather do that than schedule five games that we win by 30 or 40 and we mask our problems.
"Then, all of a sudden, the reality sets in and you don't have as much time to fix it."
After tonight's game, West Virginia won't play again until Nov. 22-25 in the Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Fla.
The first home game after that will be Nov. 28 against VMI in the Coliseum.

A former Buffalo man was ordered Wednesday to serve a 41-month prison term on his mail fraud and tax evasion conviction.
Bernard Lane, 50, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, worked as director of the Information Technology Department at Williams Advanced Materials from April 2003 to November 2006. During that time, he directed the purchase of 251 laptop computers and directed that invoices be submitted to Williams Advanced Materials for payment. After receiving the computers, the defendant then sold them to another individual for approximately $175,000, prosecutors said.
For the tax years 2005 through 2007, Lane failed to file federal income tax returns which would have included the money he received for the sale of the laptops. As a result, the defendant still owes the Internal Revenue Service approximately $58,524 in unpaid taxes, prosecutors said.
U. S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara imposed the sentence.

Guenter Burkhardt was 22 when he came to this country from Germany 60 years ago. The young immigrant got a job at the Ford Stamping Plant, took on landscaping work, and met and married his wife. But he knew all along he wanted to start a business.
Four years later, in 1957, the Burkhardts opened a retail nursery on 13 acres along Broadway in Lancaster. They later got into the distribution business and, eventually, the production of topsoil, peat moss, manure fertilizer and other goods.
The company, Good Earth Organics, swelled in size following its 1998 purchase of Pioneer Southern Inc., and now sells its 105 products in all 50 states – while surviving the closing of its biggest customer and the recent financial struggles of its largest distributor.
Good Earth employs about 50 people at its Lancaster headquarters at the height of its seasonal production schedule, which runs from mid-March to September, including the Burkhardts' three sons and two daughters. The company has nine other plants in the United States and Canada.
The company emphasizes its organic, all-natural items, promotes its composting and other "green" business practices and touts the value of buying products made in North America by a family-owned business.
"I am determined, no matter how many people 'go pork' [go out of business] on us, we're going to be here," Guenter Burkhardt, Good Earth's president and CEO, said last week in an interview in his office.
The native of Saxony studied horticulture at a German university before moving to the United States in 1953 at the urging of relatives who lived on Buffalo's West Side.
While working at the Ford plant, and doing landscaping for business and government clients, he studied English at the International Institute, where he met his future wife, Eva.
They decided to open up a nursery in Lancaster after looking at a map to select a site located halfway between the Northtowns and the Southtowns.
The Burkhardts started distributing lawn and garden products in the 1960s, under the name GHB Enterprises, and got into the production of peat humus in 1970, when they bought the Sue Peat Co. in Hinsdale from the retiring owners.
Then Good Earth acquired 5,000 acres in New Brunswick, Canada, and started production of sphagnum peat moss there.
The company grew slowly, selling its products primarily through local retailers, such as the now-departed AM&A's, Two Guys and Chase-Pitkin.
Good Earth makes its soils, peat moss and other products without chemicals, and the products that aren't organic – such as stones, or play sand – are natural. The company composts food and lawn waste from restaurants, residential properties and other sources.
"I think our industry is very fortunate: Gardening is in, organics are in, composting is in," Burkhardt said.
The company's operations over the years have generated complaints from nearby residents about foul odors. Burkhardt says the company tries to be a good neighbor, and Lancaster officials have heard fewer objections in recent years.
In 1998, the company bought Virginia-based Pioneer Southern, a subsidiary of BFI Organics Inc. that was 10 times larger than Good Earth, in a $45 million-plus deal.
Burkhardt said the company's regular bank refused to lend the $25 million that Good Earth needed to borrow for the transaction – "I tried to convince them, but they wouldn't listen," he said – so Burkhardt turned to Citibank for the loan.
With the deal, Good Earth expanded to 10 plants in eight states and Canada, employment shot up to 200 workers and sales ballooned from $3 million to $35 million in the first year.
But a year after the acquisition, the company's biggest customer, Hechinger, which operated Home Quarters and Builders Square stores, went bankrupt, taking with it $30 million in annual Good Earth sales.
"We had to downsize immediately," Burkhardt said.
Good Earth, which went from year-round to seasonal production shortly after the Hechinger liquidation, hasn't recovered all of those sales.
And Burkhardt is waiting to see whether Good Earth will be paid any of the several hundred thousand dollars the company is owed by its largest distributor, Commerce Corporation of Baltimore, the subject of an involuntary liquidation filing.
Good Earth sells thousands of tons of gardening products under its own name, private labels and half a dozen brands such as Hoffman and Country Cottage. Retail customers include Walmart, Home Depot and Valu Home Centers.
"Our secret is basically to produce premium-quality products for the lawn and garden industry and service the customers that we have to the best of our ability," he said.
The company is hoping to boost its local sales, which make up less than 10 percent of total sales. He said part of the problem is getting the buyers who represent retail stores interested in his "value-added" products, such as a soil that has peat moss and fertilizer mixed in already.
"To them, a bag of dirt is a bag of dirt," Burkhardt said.
Overall sales went up 7 percent between 2011 and 2012, though Burkhardt declined to provide a dollar figure.
As a seasonal business, production and employment ramp up starting in the middle of this month and remain at a high level through September. The number of workers at the Lancaster headquarters rises from 15 to 20 in the offseason to nearly 50 in the spring and summer, with another 70 or so seasonal employees at the other plants.
Good Earth employees late last year moved into a new, 100,000-square-foot office and warehouse building on the site.
Burkhardt, his wife and his five children – Andreas, Bernhard, Guenter Jr., Monika Vatenos and Cornelia Burkhardt-Orffeo – run the company. Guenter Burkhardt travels frequently to visit distributors and customers, saying he spends half the month on the road.
At 81, he said he still loves coming to work and he's not planning for his retirement.
"I haven't given it any thought," Burkhardt said.

Fleeing Bangladesh Building Owner Caught
Paramilitary Unit Makes Arrest at a Border Crossing to India; Amid Rescue Effort, Fire Kills Woman Trapped in the Rubble
DHAKA—An elite paramilitary unit in Bangladesh apprehended the fugitive owner of a building that collapsed last week, as the death toll approached 400.
Sohel Rana, who had been in hiding since his Rana Plaza building collapsed on Wednesday, was about to flee the country through the Benapole border crossing to India about 250 miles, or 400 kilometers. southwest of Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital, a spokesman for the paramilitary Rapid Action Battalion said. The battalion draws on both soldiers and policemen and is known for commando-style raids.
Also Sunday, a fire broke out during the rescue effort at the collapsed building, killing the last known trapped survivor, a woman who had said her name was Shahana Begum.
"We were talking to her, giving her oxygen while we cut through the concrete," Shams Uddin, a firefighter, said in a telephone interview. "But after hanging on for four days, she died in the fire. Three of my men were also injured and are now in hospital."
Maj. Gen. Hasan Suhrawardy, an official coordinating the rescue effort, said he believes there aren't any survivors left. Rescuers in the aftermath of an earthquake typically hunt for survivors for up to one week. Monday will mark five days since the building collapse. Several hundred people still are deemed to be missing.
Four people were rescued from the wreckage Sunday afternoon, amid cheers from crowds.
Col. Ziaul Ahsan, an RAB spokesman, told reporters that Mr. Rana, a politician in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, where the building was located, was apprehended in a raid at the border. The crossing at Benapole is known as a channel for smugglers ferrying cargo and people into India.
Mr. Rana was presented before the media at the briefing but made no statement. Neither he nor any lawyer representing him could be reached to comment.
An official in the RAB said authorities had been tipped off as to his whereabouts.
A warrant had been issued for Mr. Rana on suspicion of illegal construction and criminal negligence leading to death, according to Col. Mukhlesur Rahman, director of the RAB.
In Bangladesh, the accused is typically charged after the investigation is completed, and that often happens months after the defendant is taken into custody.
The Savar building contained five garment factories. Its collapse has heightened criticism that Western retailers, which have flocked to Bangladesh for its low-wage apparel industry, should do more to monitor worker safety in plants that manufacture their brands.
On Sunday evening, army and fire-service teams prepared to move in with heavy equipment to clear large chunks of fallen masonry. Later, shortly after the fire—which apparently started after army engineers tried to cut through a column to reach Ms. Begum—army officials at the site decided it was too dangerous for rescuers to tunnel inside and started to use heavy cranes.
The fire at the building site broke out at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday and was brought under control just before 11 p.m.
The fire illustrates the difficulties rescuers have faced in getting people out of the tangled mass of steel and concrete. Mr. Uddin, the firefighter, said his team had been trying since morning to rescue the trapped survivor.
Earlier, local people and families of victims had demonstrated near the collapsed building, as news of Mr. Rana's arrest broke. "We want the death penalty for Rana," said Shamsher Ali, who lost his daughter in the accident. "I won't get my daughter back, but I want him to be punished."
Mr. Rana allegedly didn't obtain mandatory permits from the government agency overseeing building safety in the greater Dhaka area. He allegedly constructed the eight-story building on the site of a pond without proper precautions, according to authorities.
And Mr. Rana on Tuesday allegedly told a gathering of locals that the building would stand for 100 years, according to people who attended. But the local council, whose engineers inspected the building before the collapse, said the engineers had previously warned the building was unsafe.
Authorities had ordered the arrest of owners of factories in the building, after allegations they forced workers to return to the building on Wednesday despite safety concerns after a crack emerged on an exterior wall.
On Sunday, the owner of Ether Tex Ltd., which was housed on the third floor of the collapsed building, was arrested in Dhaka, a senior police official said. And on Saturday, police arrested the owner of Phantom Apparels Ltd., a garment factory housed on the fifth floor. The factory lists as clients the Spanish fashion label Mango and other international retailers. Mango has said it had placed a test order with the factory.
The garment manufacturers' association said that so far, four owners have given themselves up to police voluntarily.
None of the owners arrested or their lawyers could be reached to comment.
The association said apparel factories would reopen Monday. The factories had been closed over the weekend because of protests by workers over the Savar building collapse.
Anger at the loss of life has sparked days of protests and clashes. Police on Saturday used tear gas and rubber bullets on demonstrators who vandalized cars and shops.

HANOI, 20 December 2011 – A new information Centre will help Vietnamese enterprises exporting their products to the European market better understand EU regulations, including the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals as well as the restriction of hazardous substances.
The Centre was launched today as part of a joint project of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
The USD 3.5 million project is funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and supported by the Ministries of Science and Technology, and Agriculture and Rural Development.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Nguyen Nam Hai, said: "The EU has been a very important trading partner of Viet Nam, accounting for 17 per cent of the country's trading volume with the world. The EU-Viet Nam bilateral trade volume has increased from USD 4.1 billion in 2010 to USD 17.75 billion in 2010, of which exports increased from USD 2.8 billion to USD 11 billion respectively".
The UNIDO Representative in Viet Nam, Patrick Gilabert, added: "As part of the regional and international integration, particularly after WTO accession, Viet Nam is facing both opportunities and challenges. To reap the full benefits of its WTO membership, the country needs to comply with its commitments under the agreements on technical barriers to trade and sanitary and on phytosanitary measures. These agreements are based on the implementation of international standards and regulations related to environment, human and animal health."
SECO Deputy Country Director, Brigitte Bruhin, said: "The new Centre will offer companies information and advice with regard to technical requirements, standards and specifications. This will help further strengthen the competiveness of Vietnamese companies, and make it easier for them to find new markets. The information Centre will contribute to the implementation of WTO regulations and market requirements."

Through the first four games, there wasn't much separation between Columbian and Bellevue. However, in the fifth and deciding game, Bellevue took advantage of Tornado errors to head home with a five-game Northern Ohio League victory 23-25, 25-20, 26-24, 20-25, 15-6.
"It was a battle for both teams," Columbian coach Breena Lofquist said. "It came down to the last game. We made a lot of errors that cost us. Both teams played really hard and I look forward to playing them again."
Haley Sendelbach paced TC with 13 kills while Jourdan Hoffman delivered 24 assists. Michaela Sharlow added eight kills while leading the team with 15 digs.
Columbian falls to 1-1 (0-1 NOL).
New Riegel slips past BC in thriller
NEW WASHINGTON - Buckeye Central coach Bill Bonham called it a "battle of attrition."
Tuesday night's match between Buckeye Central and New Riegel also came down to defense, and the Blue Jackets had the edge there. They won the match 25-22, 25-17, 30-32, 20-25, 15-10.
"I give New Riegel credit, they frustrated our hitters," Bonham said.
New Riegel's trio of Brittany Gillig, Taylor Arbogast and Kara Scherger combined for 87 digs.
Scherger had 33 on her own, to go with 31 kills as New Riegel improved to 2-0 on the season.
Lauren Ladd had 16 kills to go with 20 digs for New Riegel, while Arbogast had 14 kills, Cassandra Acree had 49 assists and 15 digs, while Morgan Noftz had 12 digs and Alexis Kieffer had four blocks.
Buckeye Central's Brooke Karl had 24 digs, while Sammi Marcum had a huge game with 36 kills, 19 digs and three aces. Maddie Williams added 17 kills and 15 digs, while the Bucks' Kilee Kimmel had 12 digs and 33 assists.
Emily Weithman had 13 digs and 24 assists for BC, while Kendra Schultz six kills, five digs and two aces.
Bonham said his club wasn't really into the first game, and came out flat in the second. But the third game, in which BC had to score 32 times to extend the match, was different.
"That 32-30 game was some of the best volleyball I've seen in this area for a while now," he said.
Bonham said the Buckettes were forced to really rely on their outside hitters, but what hurt the Bucks in the final game was serving.
"We had three missed serves," Bonham said. "We had 10 points [in the fifth game] and couldn't put a serve down."
Still, Bonham said there were positives to take from the match.
"It was a great test for us, that's what we wanted," Bonham said. "This is our first five-game match in the last two years... that's what we wanted."
Balanced Senecas slam Van Buren
VAN BUREN - Calvert picked up its first win of the season routing Van Buren 25-9, 25-8, 25-19. Jordan Gase, Meridith Lucius and Amber Perry each had eight kills for Calvert (1-1).
Defensively Perry had three blocks and Lucius had 13 digs.
Kaleigh Hendrix dished out 27 assists while adding six kills of her own.
Mohawk's game less than Pleasant
SYCAMORE - Mohawk coach Eric Hoover blamed Tuesday's four-game loss to Marion Pleasant on errors.
And playing a pretty good team.
Pleasant defeated the Warriors, 25-22, 25-19, 14-25, 25-22 in Sycamore. Sarah Parker led the Warriors with 17 kills and 17 digs, while Ashley Parker had 30 assists and Lynsey Trusty had 20 digs.
"We didn't handle the ball well," Hoover said. "We made a lot of unforced errors. And we played a very good team. That's usually going to add up to a loss."
Julie Adelsperger had 10 digs and three kills, while Kasey Adelsperger had 10 kills and three digs for the Warriors. Aubrie Flood had five kills, while Clara Adelsperger had seven digs. Taylor McClain had 11 digs.
Carey slips in Arcadia

on February 11, 2013 - 1:00 AM
One of New York's most urgent needs, dating back for decades, has been an independent redistricting policy that takes politicians out of the task of choosing who votes for them. In his 2010 campaign for governor, Andrew M. Cuomo promised to do that. He didn't.
But now, he and the leaders of the Senate and Assembly are about to foist on the public a sham redistricting policy that will, if they have their way, be written into the New York State Constitution. It's a disgrace, especially for Cuomo, who had pledged to change redistricting for the better. This makes it worse.
The proposal, which will go to the public for a referendum, basically leaves the politicians in control of redistricting, the process by which district lines are redrawn after each census to ensure equal representation. It does this in several ways:
• It creates a commission to draw the lines, but the appointments to the commission are made by partisan interests. In addition, the commission is composed of an even number of members, creating the likelihood of tie votes.
• If a plan does make it out of the commission, either chamber of the Legislature could vote it down. After two such votes, the responsibility to draw the lines would revert to the Legislature instead of the courts.
• The proposed amendment's quorum requirements would allow an interest group to block action simply by not showing up.
This is a con job. It is a design not only to retain political redistricting, but to enshrine that insult to democracy in the state Constitution, and to do it under the guise of reform.
The State Senate completed the charade in December, approving the amendment and sending it to voters who must decide in 2014 whether to sanction this assault on their rights. They need to reject it.
This maneuver on redistricting offers clear evidence that, however much Albany may have improved in some ways, it remains the self-protective beast it has always been. Leaders of the Senate and Assembly want nothing to do with independent redistricting. They want to be able to gerrymander the lines so that they can diminish the ability of voters to throw them out of office. That leaves them free to pay greater attention to the special interests that fill their coffers with donations, and it's one of the main reasons New York is an expensive state to live in.
It's hardly surprising that leaders of the Legislature are trying to pull the wool over voters' eyes. It is extremely disappointing that Cuomo is a party to this disgrace. He has performed many admirable services as a governor willing to challenge Albany's status quo. This was not one of them.

5 Ways You Suck at Customer Service Without Realizing It
#2. "Can You Not See That I'm Busy?!"
Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images
From a Customer Service Point of View:
If you ever see another can of beans, you're going to track down the Jolly Green Giant and rip his asparagus dick off. You've been stocking canned goods for an hour, and every time you get close to finishing up the shelf, some old person hobbles by and picks one up right where you're obviously working. They can't just pick one off of the other shelves that clearly haven't been straightened up yet. No, they have to have that exact can of beans from that exact row, forcing you to replace it. Again.
Just as you're finally finishing up, you hear a steadily intensifying shuffle from behind you, accompanied by the faint smell of beef stew and potpourri. Fuck it, you'll be done in 20 seconds anyway, so you continue what you were doing. Fifteen seconds later, you hear frustrated sighs, followed by a hand jutting out in front of your face. It rudely grabs a can, almost beaning your cheek in the process, and then angrily shuffles away. What a fucking dick. They couldn't just wait 20 goddamn seconds?

"Thanks for the beans, dickhead."
Where You Went Wrong:
That customer has no idea how long you have left on your task. Or how long you've been at it, or even what your position is at the workplace. All they know is, "Need beans."
Not much will piss me off more when I'm shopping than a stocker who won't get the fuck out of the way. I'm not talking about minor little occurrences where you can easily just reach around them and say, "Pardon me." I'm talking about when you say that, they look you directly in the eyes to acknowledge that you're there, and continue to work. Because their boss said, "Stock this shit," and, by God, that's exactly what they're going to do. They'll be damned if they let annoying setbacks like customers get in their way.

"I think I'll look you dead in the eyes and put this one away reeeaaal slooooow."
It's actually kind of amazing how as a customer you can see a stocker as nothing more than an inhuman obstacle you have to overcome to get your precious beans, then you can put on the uniform and become a stocker hours later and see customers as nothing more than an unending flow of interference keeping you from doing your job. I guess the key is remembering that as the employee, it's actually your job to be invisible and out of the way, where the customer has no obligation whatsoever to make stocking easier for you.
After all, the store doesn't exist to keep the shit on the shelves, it exists to get it into the carts of customers -- so it's not so much learning to embrace each customer as the precious child of God that they are, but just recognizing that the customer's role is literally to fuck up your stack of cans. When customers ruin your schedule by buying things, the system is actually working perfectly.
#1. "Would You Like to Buy Every Service We Offer?"

From a Customer Service Point of View:
You've helped your customer find everything they need. You tell them the price, and they hand you their card. Now for the sucky part. The part where your manager and the home office has forced you to push as many extra services as humanly possible. Your job depends on it because if you don't sell a certain amount of extras, your ass gets canned. Every new service you present to the customer makes him visibly angrier, but there's nothing you can do about it. You see that anger 30 times a day, but nothing you can say to your boss will prevent you from having to continue pissing off your customers. It's policy.

"Welcome to GameStop. My manager is here today, so I apologize in advance."
Where You Went Wrong:
You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault. It's the company's fault. I have no advice here -- if you run through the offers quickly, then it sounds like you're being terse and rushing them along. If you go slower and really try to sell them on the benefits, you're wasting their time. You can't roll your eyes and say, "I know this is annoying, just bear with me," because they'll fire your ass. There is no perfect way to do it, because what you're being asked to do is annoying as shit.
GameStop executives don't get to see first hand how many people get flat-out irate after they say for the fourth time, "No, I don't want the completely bullshit 'laser etch protection.'" They don't get to feel the wrath of the guy who's in a rush, stopping in on his lunch break to pick up a birthday gift for his brother ... only to be bombarded by a billion useless offers that he's never, ever going to use. All the executives see is the increase in profits that come from the people who are sick of the endless line of pushes and just give in to shut them up.
The last time I went to GameStop, I was asked to get a PowerUp card, followed by a subscription to some magazine, followed by an explanation of game exchanges, followed by etch protection and extended warranty offers, followed by an explanation of how their website works, followed by a request to take a survey about their store. No exaggeration.
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
"Hey, pull out your phone real quick and look up the fine for assault in this town."
Jesus Christ, I understand the concept of upselling, and I know it's a business. But there is a fucking limit to what I'm willing to tolerate when I'm shopping. Every time I shop at a Kohl's (a chain of clothing stores, if you don't have one) I'm bombarded with requests to get their "sink yourself into massive debt" cards, followed by, "Please stop by our website to take our survey and mark 'Very Satisfied.'" Go fuck yourself. Don't tell me what to mark on a survey that's asking me about my experience at your store. If that's how you're going to pitch it, then don't have a survey at all. Or just make "Very Satisfied" the only option. It just blows me away that a company would even have the balls to tell their customers what to mark on a form asking them for their honest feedback. It's like asking, "What can we do to make the store better (please answer 'nothing -- your store is perfect')?"
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
"Great, now using the following two words, please describe our store: 'Perfect' and 'Euphoric.'"
I'm sorry, I have to take a moment to calm down. My point to all of this is, I totally understand that there are plenty of customers who are clueless, offensive, overreacting pieces of shit (Adam Tod Brown covered that here much more eloquently than I ever could). But having the right attitude while working customer service can win you life's ultimate prize: the right to not have to work in customer service any more.

5 Bizarre Pitfalls of Owning a Classic Car
Destroying Small Asian Things
When you own a classic car, skinny white teenagers in little Japanese numbers will constantly be challenging you to race. A boy with a quarter of a mustache will invariably pull up to you and rev his engine a few times, soliciting a nasally whine that must sound way more intimidating inside the cabin, otherwise why would he do that? He will have a friend sitting next to him that really wants to look Hispanic, but is failing terribly at it. The friend will goad Quarter-stache on, and they will grow more and more insistent until, whether you like it or not, you are now involved in a drag race with somebody still chewing on the tail end of puberty.
"No, Billy, you jerk the wheel -- like this -- just as he's coming up at the guard rail. God, you'll never pass that driver's test."
When I said "destroying small Asian things" up there, I didn't mean "figuratively destroying his car in the ensuing race." I'll leave that debate up to people who give a shit. No, I meant that Quarter-stache and Pseudo-Jose over there are going to put that pedal down regardless of your actions, and they will be stunned, absolutely floored, if you don't race them back. This sight will be so flabbergasting to them -- a male who isn't leaping at the chance to prove he has a penis via the liberal application of gasoline -- that they will almost certainly total their $15,000 automobile ($5,000 for the car, $10,000 in ground effect kits) against a tree while gaping at you. And whether you're at fault or not, that's still a guilt you're gonna have to live with, brother. Pseudo-Jose was going to be a doctor, you know. But not now, not with those claws he calls hands.
The Illicit Affairs
If you think this is finally the entry about all that pussy that's going to come flying through your window as you cruise downtown in your sexy vintage hot rod, prepare for ... well, you're probably already well-prepared for disappointment if you're harboring delusions like that. Unless a woman is really into cars herself, she's not gonna give one apathetic, faked orgasm that you scraped together a few grand and bought yourself a Dart. Plus, why would you even want that? Pussy flying in your window is incredibly distracting. That's just an accident waiting to happen. No, this entry is about the illicit affair you're going to be having with your own car. If you thought you were just buying a neat toy, or a solid method of conveyance, then you are wholly unprepared for the odd, inappropriate, and shameful relationship you're about to participate in.
No matter how big a piece of shit that car might be, some strange alchemy worked into the metal will eventually cause you to treat it like a lover: You'll talk softly to it as you work, inadvertently catch yourself calling it a "she," stroke it secretly as you walk by, and steal fleeting but passionate glances over your shoulder every time you pass it. And, like all torrid affairs, this will probably end badly. All those gasket failures start feeling like personal betrayals; the pressing guilt every time you use your other car (how could you callously mount that Korean slut right in front of her?) will wear on you; and the exponentially worsening gas bills will pile up, all eventually culminating in a bitter and tearful goodbye. You always end up selling the first one, no matter how much you might hate to do it. And forever afterward, every time you see her model pass by on the road, you'll turn your head to watch her go, and wonder who she's with now, and if he's good to her, or if it's some unappreciative mook that's slathering his filthy paws all over her heads and OH GOD LOOK OUT!
He died as he lived: Proving something to somebody (he was never quite sure what).

Inspired by a Canadian princess and used to describe when a man totally conquers a high-maintenance women by means of 'tearing her ass up'. A Hogan is a great looking women, out of the league of most men, who uses her wit and sexuality to hold the feelings (and cocks!) of men hostage. Never really giving up too much (physically), but teases constantly...Getting Hoganed is tantamount to schadenfreude for those men who have been played by this type of woman.

During intercourse, allow the female to get comfortable swallowing down your hoss. When the female seems to be fully involved giving oral to your tubesteak, one must then take a pair of hair trimmers from his back pocket or another close by concealed location, and shave the top of the females head resembling a skullet. This must be done near your climax point because the trimmers may stun the unsuspecting female. After you trim the shit out of her skull you should be ready to rocket semen. Remove the ding dong marinating in the females mouth and precede to spludge your jizz on her face in the shape of Hulk Hogan's mustache. Now, smile, take a step back and look at the female. In front of you should be a woman now representing the immortal Hulk Hogan. Best results with blond haired women.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Steps were taken Wednesday by the Civil Service Commission to begin the process of hiring a new superintendent for Thompson Park, following the recent resignation of Robb Kenny.
Park board President Burl Warrick and member Wink Smith addressed the commission about the job description to be included in advertising for the competitive exam for the position, offering up a few minor changes discussed at their own meeting earlier this week.
"We don't want to block anyone out from taking the test," Warrick told the commission, explaining why a requirement for three years of experience in grounds or park maintenance or related fields was moved to "qualifications" instead of "experience."
The successful candidate will also be given up to one year to complete a course in bookkeeping, a seminar in public relations and a seminar in general supervision instead of the previous six months.
Although the commission normally only advertises such tests in the city newspaper, The Review, Warrick and Smith insisted the upcoming test be advertised also in the Morning Journal and the Youngstown Vindicator, despite being warned by members that "could be costly," since the ads must run once a week for three consecutive weeks.
"We want the best possible candidate we can get. The park is the last surviving jewel of East Liverpool, and if it costs an additional $300, it's worth it," Smith said.
Commission member John Fisher also suggested placing a notice on the park website, encouraging people to look for the ads in the papers.
The advertising should begin Jan. 7, since the last two Mondays of this month are holidays and it was felt the ads would not receive as much attention on those days.
Park board members questioned whether the test is current, with commission secretary Jane Miller saying it is the same one Kenny took seven years ago and, she believes the time before that.
A request by Smith to raise the minimum passing grade from 70 to 75 was refused, with commission member Steve Bell saying that is the standard.
In other business, the commission accepted the resignations of Kenny, who accepted another position in Florida, and of firefighter Christopher Harrison, for disability reasons.
Chad Roe was appointed as a heavy equipment operator for the water department at $16.85 per hour.
After its meeting, the commission administered promotional exams for police captain and assistant fire chief, with results anticipated early next week.
On the list to take the assistant fire chief test were firefighters Jim Allmon, David Edgell and Bob Smith. Police officers registered to take the captain's test were Steve Adkins, Fred Flati, Kelsey Hedrick, Moose Ramsey and Chad Tatgenhorst.
The top scorer on each of those tests must be given the position, if one is open.

Having emerged battered and bruised from the 2008 recession, aircraft lenders face fresh challenges. While worldwide economic woes linger like a bad cold that won't go away, these lenders can expect accounting and regulatory changes that may have a significant impact on their business.

For most corporations, the purchase of a business jet represents a major transaction that requires approval of the board of directors. What should the directors consider when the company is thinking about buying an aircraft?
December 1, 2012
The used jet market has had to contend with more than its fair share of obstacles over the past few years and 2012 didn't offer any relief. They say that when the stock market moves up it climbs a wall of worry and that's probably not much different from how jet buyers view the aircraft market. That said, there may be a bit less to worry about than there was last year at this time.

Just as different singers often offer widely varying interpretations of the same song, different observers view the used jet market from diverse vantage points. Moreover, a buyer's or seller's perspective on the market can make, impede or prevent a sale.
July 25, 2012
The business jet finance market is changing, just like the rest of the world economy. It's becoming more highly regulated, more conservative and more international. Its biggest challenge is the surfeit of cash that many aircraft buyers have on hand with no compelling place to invest.
July 20, 2012
As a big-ticket asset promising large potential tax adjustments, a business jet easily captures the attention of IRS auditors. Given the woefully complicated tax rules applicable to these aircraft, who can blame the IRS for seeking additional revenue opportunities in the flight department?
April 20, 2012
Like other lawsuits, most of the ones involving business jets are settled out of court. Every once in a while, though, a corporate jet case will not only reach a judge but produce a decision that shines a spotlight into some dark corner of business aviation. One such case is JDI Holdings, LLC v. Jet Management, Inc., et al., 732 F. Supp.

I am tired. And when I am tired I am not a fun mommy. I am not very productive around the house either. So at the end of the day, I lie in bed thinking about what I shouldn't have said, how I could have handled things better. What else I could have/should have gotten done.
But by then, when I am lying in bed letting those thoughts swarm about, it's all in the past. What does replaying it over & over or worrying accomplish? Absolutely nothing.
If God is faithful to forgive, who are we to not forgive ourselves as well?
Remember today is a brand new day with a brand new start. Another chance. I am so thankful for second chances! (And third and fourth and eighty-seventh chances.)

UNIVERSITY PARK - The common thread in Penn State's losses this season were defensive performances that did not remind anybody of Linebacker U.
Whether it was the 34 points put up by Central Florida, the 44 at Indiana, the first half at Minnesota and obviously the 63 that Ohio State pinballed, the Nittany Lions' defense hasn't needed a Band Aid as much as it's needed a tourniquet.
Even the Lions' best win of the season, a 43-40 shootout over Michigan, put the unit on the defensive.
Saturday changed that.
Penn State was beaten 23-20 in overtime by Nebraska, and while nobody left happy, there was deserved consensus in the Nittany Lion camp that the defense in particular had earned a better fate.
"I thought the defense played a good game," Bill O'Brien, who also serves as offensive coordinator, said. "They did a good job tonight. We had a good game plan. The coaches did a good job on that side of the ball.
"We [offense] didn't hold up our end of the bargain, but you win as a team and lose as a team."
While the offense, no doubt affected by the bone-chilling wind, dropped a half-dozen passes and the special teams completely collapsed, the defense kept the Lions in the game.
"I think as a defense we played very well," sophomore cornerback Jordan Lucas said. "When we had to make plays, we did. This is college football; offenses are going to have their share of plays, but in the long run, I think we did a good job of minimizing their [big] plays."
And in the process, maybe, just maybe, the defense finally turned a corner.
"Defense played their hearts out," senior linebacker Glenn Carson said. "I was really proud of them."
The unit allowed just one touchdown drive as it forced Nebraska into three short field goals and twice denied the Cornhuskers touchdowns at the PSU goal line.
"Especially on the goal line," Carson said, "we had a bend-don't-break mentality, and we played Penn State football today."
With Nebraska threatening to take a 14-6 lead, Malcolm Willis stripped Ameer Abdullah in the second quarter, and in one of the game's most dramatic moments, Brandon Bell and Mike Hull combined to drill Husker quarterback Ron Kellogg III at the PSU 2, turning away a potential touchdown that would have put Nebraska up 24-20 with five minutes left.
"Both sides of the ball," O'Brien said, "I thought we had great effort."
Hull, receiving treatment after the game, was unavailable for comment after turning in an exhibition reminiscent of his play last year. The junior has dealt with a variety of injuries all season, but Saturday he looked fast enough to corral Abdullah on the edge and strong enough to deck Kellogg.
"That was a huge play," Carson said. "Mike is an instinctual player, and it really showed on that play, as well as how tough he is. He just stoned that guy."
If Hull looked like a senior on senior day, that's because, DaQuan Jones said, "It feels like he's a senior now, the way he talks and the way the guys look up to him."
Hull's play has helped raise Penn State into its best defensive stretch of the season.
The Lions' defense - not their special teams, their defense - has allowed just three touchdowns in the last 10 quarters and an average of 21.0 points over its last four games after being scorched for 34 or more four times over a five-game midseason stretch.
"We're finally going out there and playing fast and not overthinking," Carson said.
"I think we've made some improvements in small areas as the year has gone on," Jones said, "and hopefully today showed that."
Lucas, one of the defense's best young players, is glad improvement has been shown, but he also admitted it was needed.
"It might be a little late for that, but as the season has gone on, slowly but surely we're coming together as a defense and going into next year that will be very big for us," he said.
Other than Carson, the defense loses its standout tackle in Jones, part-time starting tackle Kyle Baublitz and veteran safety Malcolm Willis but will return a dozen regulars who have started.
"We've got a great coach in coach [John] Butler and coach [Larry] Johnson will still be here with the line," Jones said. "I think they'll be fine."
They're at least putting together a November to build on, but before looking too far ahead, they'll need that positive vibe heading into Wisconsin.

Northcroft led the nation in goals scored (52), total points (107) and scoring average (5.09) as a senior in 1999. She set the NCAA Division I record for goals in a single-season with 52 goals in 1999 and during that season registered multiple goals in 15 of 21 contests.
Northcroft was President of the Ball State's Student-Athlete Advisory Board, represented the school at the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference and was a volunteer for Habitat For Humanity, Big Brother/Big Sister, Meals on Wheels and various literacy programs in local elementary schools in Muncie, Ind.
During her collegiate career, she also garnered multiple academic accomplishments including named GTE Academic All-America Fall/Winter Team (1999-2000), Academic All-MAC First Team (1997-1998) and a three-time National Academic Team Member (1996-98)
Northcroft graduated with a 3.58 GPA with a degree in physical education in 1999 and was also inducted to the Ball State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
Ball State's previous inductees into the MAC Hall of Fame include Ray McCallum (basketball, inducted 1988), Shafer Sugs (football, inducted 1989), Ken Kremer (football, inducted 1991), Maurice Harvey (football, inducted 1992), John Pruis (President, inducted 1994), Karen Fitzpatrick (field hockey, inducted 2012) and Brad Maynard (football, inducted 2013).
The MAC Hall of Fame was approved by the MAC Council of Presidents in 1987. The charter class was inducted in 1988 and subsequent classes were added in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1994. After six induction classes, the MAC Hall of Fame maintained 52 members until it was reinstated in May of 2012. This year's class brings the number of MAC Hall of Fame inductees to 72 individuals from nine classes.

to inundate Urban Dictionary with countless repetitions of a lame joke from a cartoon as a definition of "fag."
The man with no life thought he was on a crusade to spread the word of a corporate cartoon by calling Harley riders "fags." He was an idiot.

- Solar Power for Homes
Solar Power is the UK's number one choice of renewable energy for households. Solar Power for homes is generated by solar panels; these are either photovoltaic (PV) solar panels or thermal solar panels.
With rising energy costs and the threat of fossil fuels running out solar power is a great alternative energy source for the home. Not only is it a way of generating clean energy with no carbon emissions, but by installing solar panels you are also able to future proof some if not all of the energy costs for your home.
Solar Power for the home is a rising market and there are great schemes available backed by the government to help ease the financial costs and to make it possible to see a return on the investment. Schemes such as the feed-in tariff have helped the solar power market to see a 400% rise in 15 months which has been fuelled by the schemes' popularity.
- Commercial Solar Panels
Solar Panels for businesses are continuing to grow in popularity, like solar power for homes, commercial solar installations can save businesses money and also generate income.
Solar Panels for businesses and commercial use can be used to create large solar arrays that are capable of producing vast quantities of electricity for the company to use or to export to the national grid. The feed-in tariff scheme is available for businesses and means that companies can be paid an income for any excess energy they produce and export, this scheme helps businesses to receive a return on their solar panel investment.
There are many examples across the UK of businesses utilising solar panels to power their business and to generate an additional revenue stream. The biggest increase in the private sector has been for farming and agricultural businesses. Solar panels perfectly suit this type of commercial business, as the open, un-shaded space is often available for a large solar installation. Read more ...
Asbestos Removal issues
It is not uncommon to find asbestos in commercial buildings, if you are planning on installing solar power onto a commercial property check for asbestos roofing tiles. If you do require asbestos removal services then check out www.asbestosremoval.uk.net for price comparisons.
- Heat Pumps
The two most popular types of heat pump for the home are ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps. Both work in the same way but extract heat from different sources. Heat pumps do require electricity to run, but the level of electricity used is outweighed by the heat energy produced therefore making heat pumps a good choice of alternative energy for the home.
Ground source heat pumps tend to be more efficient but cost more to install as the installation process requires placing a network of pipes underground. Air source heat pumps are much easier to install as they tend to be placed on the side or back of the home or business property. Heat pumps are most efficient at heating space but can be used to heat water.
Heat Pumps will be eligible for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) that is set to launch in 2012, this will help make heat pumps more affordable and will make it easier to see a return on the investment.
