Selkirk Rex History
- This newcomer to the feline pedigree began July 4, 1988 when a Persian cat breeder named Jeri Newman of Montana bred a curly haired kitten from a nearby shelter with one of her black Persians. The litter of six yielding a trio sporting curly hair.
- A breeding program was created that initially included Persians, British Shorthairs, Persians and Exotics until the unique Selkirk Rex look developed.
- The Cat Fanciers Association accepted the Selkirk Rex in 2000.
Selkirk Rex Behavior Concerns
- Super mellow and laidback, the Selkirk Rex prefers laps to running laps.
- People enjoy this breed's quiet nature, gentleness and sweet affection.
- One of the best traits of this breed is its patience with people and other pets. It is playful but not hyperactive.
- This breed is best suited for stalking toys on the floor rather than leaping and swatting at wand toys.
- Save room on your bed because this breed expects to share some Zzzz's with you.
Look of Selkirk Rexs
- This breed puts the "C" in curly and cute, plus comes in many colors.
- You can obtain shorthaired or longhaired plush coat versions. Both feel soft to the touch like a teddy bear.
- One of the beefier breeds, the Selkirk Rex displays a cobby, solid build, strong legs and giant fuzzy paws. This is a heavy-boned and muscular breed.
- Most are born with curls, but a few are born with straight hair. In some, the curls develop and become more prominent when the Selkirk Rex becomes an adult.
Grooming Selkirk Rex Cats
- No need to brush more than once a week with a wide toothed comb - you don't want to take the curl out of its coat.
- Selkirk Rexes belong to the "wash-and-wear" cat club, however, they are not recommended for individuals who are allergic to cat allergens.
- Pay attention to the ears and keep them clean and free of ear wax.
- Rarely needs a bath but when you do, blot them dry with a towel instead of using a blow dryer.
Suggested Nutritional Needs for Selkirk Rexs
- Serve high quality commercial food to keep its coat healthy and reduce shedding.
Fun Facts of Selkirk Rexs
- The Selkirk Rex is often affectionately nicknamed a "cat in sheep's clothing" and the "cat with a bad hair day" due to its fuzzy, curly hair. However, some Selkirk Rexes have straight hair.
- Sometimes confused as a curly British Shorthair or Persian.
- The first Selkirk Rex kitten was named Miss DePesto after the curly-haired character in the popular television show, Moonlighting. All Selkirk Rexes trace their lineage to Miss DePesto.

text: Reagan made a joke at one of the correspondents dinners that was too close to truth to be funny. He said that to some degree he envied Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, because with the threat of nuclear war, a mistake by the president would result in no one being around to point fingers. By 1982, the doomsday clock had been sufficiently set back that, for all of the discussion of nuclear freeze and the Day After, threat of imminent nuclear war and total destruction seemed to be in abeyance. It was at that point, with terrorism climbing into the front seat, that Reagan seemed to lose his marbles, leading to Iran/Contra. Terrorism is worse than nuclear war, because it leaves enough people behind to point fingers at the president, and its easy for obsession to grow. That mentality certainly suffused the thinking of George W, as one 9/11 on his watch was bad enough, and its a fair statement that he became totally unhinged. And the same thing seemed to happen to Obama–it seems early on that he developed an obsession that there wouldn't be a 9/11 on his watch, and his conduct thereafter represented, seemingly, a total repudiation of everything that he seemed to believe in during his absurdly short public career. The corruption and sleaze that we are seeing now seems, like Iran/Contra, to be an outgrowth of the fact that Obama has spent so much time obsessing with not being blamed for the death of civilians that he hasn't been minding the store. Equally, he seems to be growing increasingly unhinged about Syria, and the very real possibility that drawing Israel into that war raises the very real spectre of a limited nuclear war for the first time in twenty years. (limited, in that the last thing Obama wants is to have most of the Middle East glow in the dark because Iran insists on sending dangerous missiles to Hezbollah to try and create a deterrent to a strike on Iran to stop a nuclear weapons program.) We've just seen a week in which abuses by the IRS, Justice and State are becoming more apparent, and in which his administration launched an appeal aimed at stopping access of women to medication for reproductive health, while the Middle East continues to deteriorate and Obama seems aimless and lost in terms of domestic policy.� Watching o'bama's performance at the press conference yesterday, it is clear that he is becoming unglued, paranoid, unhinged. It was kind of funny watching Cameron lean away from him. While psychologists will someday have a field day with this Jeckyll/Hyde character, its not really funny at the moment watching Obama trying to figure out who his friends still are, when he is running out of people to pander to.

Posted on 12/24/2012 5:17:08 AM PST by Revelation 911
Webster, N.Y. -- 13WHAM News has learned several people have been shot at the scene of a fire on Lake Road in Webster.
The fire is at 191 Lake Road near Bay Road. A source tells 13WHAM News that at that scene, an unknown gunman opened fire on fire crews on the scene.
The victims have been taken by Mercy Flight to area hospitals. The fire has now spread to a second house.
13WHAM has several crews converging on the scene and will provide updates at they're available.
Register all fires.
location of the shooter is as of yet unknown - fire is unabated and basically the bridge on one side is up for the winter on one side so there is only one access point - tactically a nightmare as there is no cover
What is wrong with people?
Not 5 miles from where I used to live, in a state where assault weapons are banned.
Police have swarmed an area on Lake Road near the Outlet Bridge in Webster.
Emergency crews were originally called to the area for the report of a structure fire.
Currently, Monroe County sheriff's deputies and the SWAT team are on scene, along with multiple fire crews.
Messenger Post newspartner News10NBC is on scene and working to get information more information.
It was the gun's fault. I can tell by the storyline that it will be an "assault" rifle with a "large clip". Need to make NY a gun-free zone - OH WAIT...
just looked at it on google maps......sad thing. Sounds like somebody wants their home to burn either because they dont want something inside it found or somebody just has a thing against first responders. My guess is the shooter
IS NOT a member of the NRA and IS NOT a CCW holder
You can see the location on google maps .... securing the scene is going to be really, really difficult. The neighbors are in a pickle if they have to evacuate due to the fire spreading with an active shooter somewhere in the area.
November 6th brought a different kind of depression to this country. A lot of people have just said to hell with it.
What is wrong with people?
The shootings in Newtown have apparentally set off a host of copy-cat killers.Crazies.
Anyone who shoots at a fireman should be executed. That is a fundamental assault on society.
Sounds like it. I'll bet a body will be found in that house somewhere. Probably from a domestic dispute.
Today, when people want to kill or commit suicide, they take as many innocent people with them as they can. They know the media will show their name and image on TV for days, and they'll be put on the medias Celebrity Killer Hall of Fame list for all eternity. They'll be famous!

This is a special, significant Christmas. What I think you are seeing is Satan throwing a fit because his time is short. Jesus is comming back and sooner than many of us think. If you haven't done it yet, give Him your heart. Let Him fix it like no one else can.
My your Christmas be exeedingly merry and overflowing with the love of Christ.
Tell that to Guy Montag.
"If you haven't done it yet, give Him your heart. Let Him fix it like no one else can."
Needs a repeat.
One of the great BB cartoons. Always worth a giggle. ( I hope this doesn't start a "list", it was just a simple comment)
The shootings in Newtown have apparentally set off a host of copy-cat killers.Crazies.
Non-stop media coverage of The shootings in Newtown have apparentally set off a host of copy-cat killers.Crazies.
That is why we have CHRISTmas, the sending of the only answer for SIN, Jesus Christ.
Not only the guns fault! I just did a Google street view and there's a SVU parked in the driveway! I am sure it had something to do with it.
Thanks Pastor.
A possibility. Now I wonder. What are the odds.
The shootings will continue until the goal is acheived;
Gun control
The have the shooter in custody.
I always figured you for a Roch-cha-cha boy.
"Psychiatrists have come forward to assert that certain psychiatric medications, such as those known as SSRIs, are almost certainly the chemical cause of a large number of instances of random violence and suicide in which SSRIs have been present.
(includes list of recent mass murderers and the mood altering medications they were on)
The outlet bridge was opened on November 1st. There is access from both directions. There's a couple of saloons nearby. We may have a drunk nut on our hands.
My understanding is that if tossed into a fire, it's generally the shell casings that become the projectile, due to having less mass than the bullet.
I don't believe that an unchambered round going off due to a fire would have enough energy behind it to go very far or penetrate much. I could easily be wrong on this, though.
I believe the gunman has been taken in to custody.
Take our guns away so that nuts and criminals have a clear shot.
Think about where you will hide your guns.
Securing the scene was NOT difficult. I know the area like the back of my hand.
David Gregory will blame Wayne LaPierre.
That's good, then.
The "nuts and criminals" on the streets, or the "nuts and criminals" in the government?
The Mystery if Iniquity has been around since the Fall in the Garden. See St. Paul - epistle to the Thessalonians, Chapter 2, Verse 7.
Also - for an in depth instruction on the nature of evil see The De Malo of Thomas Aquinas that has been for a long time on my must read list that I hope to get to in 2013.
Have a great Christmas everyone! My youngest daughter (14) is coming out of the hospital today after a severe bleed last Tuesday - she has a bone marrow disease that causes low platelets and is usually stable so this is a setback - we could use prayers from all. Thanks!!
I am sure that has a lot to do with it, but of course you and I would be called crazy for suggesting anything like such as that.
Prayers up for your daughter and for a great Christmas for your family too.

Car Sharing from Zipcar - What's Included
The beauty of car sharing is that it just makes sense. It's there when you need it and not when you don't. Just imagine never having to make a car payment, pay an auto insurance bill, or worry about the cost of gas again. Hallelujah.
Gas, insurance & daily mileage are on us
We throw in all the fixins: gas, comprehensive insurance, and up to 200 kilometers/day (Of course if you go antiquing, that armoire is on you.)
Your very own Zipcard
Be a card-carrying Zipster. This magical card unlocks thousands of cars (and exclusive deals) in cities around the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Of course you have questions. It's not every day someone decides to hand you the keys to a brand new car.
What are the eligibility requirements to join Zipcar?
To be eligible, you must:
- Applicants must be 21 years or older to be eligible for application/membership; 18-20 years old if affiliated with a college or university
- Applicants must have a valid driver's license
- Applicants will be required to accept terms and conditions of the member application and member agreement (stating their driving record complies with Zipcar terms and conditions)
- Applicants that possess a non-US based license need to submit a color copy of their driver's license and passport to firstname.lastname@example.com after completing their application. Applicants that possess a British Columbia based license need to submit a color copy of their driver's license and a second form of ID to email@example.com.
- If you are joining in Michigan and are under the age of 21, no major violations, "incidents" or alcohol or drug related violations are allowed.
In addition to the requirements above, Zipcar reserves the right to decline membership based on driving history or credit issues.
How do I join?
How long does it take to become a member?
Before you can drive, you'll need a Zipcard. Your Zipcard will arrive in the mail 3-7 days after you apply. If you want to drive sooner, you can pick up your Zipcard at a local Zipcar office. (Make sure to select this option on your application.)
Either way, we'll also need to review your driving record before you're approved to drive. This process typically takes just a few hours, but in some cases, it may take a little longer:
- If you have a driver's license from outside the US or Canada, you'll need to submit this driving and accident record declaration along with a copy of your license and passport to firstname.lastname@example.com
- If you have a license from the State Department, US Territory or a Canadian province other than Ontario, you'll need to send this driving and accident record declaration with a copy of your license and ID to firstname.lastname@example.com
We'll keep you posted by email about the status of your application.
If you choose to pick up your Zipcard at a local office, you'll need to show your driver's license and the credit or debit card used on your application.
How does the 30-day trial work?
- Trial applies only to the membership fee.
- Trial does not apply to the application fee.
- Trial does not apply to the monthly commitment on pre-paid plans such as the Extra Value Plan.
- Trial does not apply to driving costs.
- Trial available for new members only. Members re-opening accounts are not eligible for the trial.
- If a coupon is redeemed and membership is cancelled within 30 days, the coupon becomes void and all driving will be charged to the member.
- Trial not valid for accounts with a discounted rate plan (this includes, but is not limited to, Zipcar as an HR benefit, business plans, sponsored plans, and university memberships).
- 30 days start once your membership application has been submitted to Zipcar.
If you sadly choose to relinquish your membership within the first 30 days, call us at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR and we'll refund your membership fee.
Do you offer corporate memberships?
Can I join if I have a driver's license from outside the US or Canada?
How do I reserve a Zipcar?
You can also call 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR and have a rep make a reservation for you, but will be charged a $3.50 agent reservation charge.
For how long can I book a car?
If you'd like to keep a car for more than 7 days, you can call us and we'll try to help you out. Please understand that due to availability, location and other factors, we cannot guarantee reservations longer than 7 days.
Can I book a one-way trip?
For all other reservations, you'll need to return your Zipcar to its home location at the end of your trip.

What types of vehicles can I drive?
Please note that models vary by city. View Zipcars in your city.
Do Zipcars have automatic or manual transmissions?
If you reserve a Zipcar in another country, you may come across some with manual transmissions. If you prefer, you can filter your search to show only automatic cars. Learn more about using Zipcars in other countries.
What are "hourly only" Zipcars?
Are any Zipcars equipped with hand controls?
How do I get in the car?
Once you've scanned in with your Zipcard, you can then either use your smartphone or your Zipcard to lock and unlock the doors throughout your reservation. We have apps for iPhone® or Android™.
Where are the car keys?
Note that some car models have start buttons instead of keys. To start one of these cars, simply step on the brake, press the start button, and you're good to go.
In some countries, the key is in the glove compartment. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
Can I take the car early?
The doors will only unlock early if the car is available. If you can't get in, that means the car may still be reserved by the previous member. Simply wait until your reservation start time and try again.
What if the car is damaged?
If you notice any problems, call us at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR and report it. Please provide us with as much detail as possible, like the exact location of the damage, the approximate size of any dents or scratches, etc.
You don't want to be held responsible for damage you didn't cause, so please don't forget to check at the start of every reservation.
What if the car is dirty or low on fuel?
If you'd like to take the car for a cleaning, you can pay for it and we'll reimburse your account up to $15. If you prefer, we'll do our best to move you to a different vehicle.
Can I extend my reservation?
What about tolls?
- Throughout Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and many universities, cars are equipped with E-ZPass® toll passes. These work everywhere the E-ZPass logo is displayed.
- In Miami, Florida, cars are equipped with SunPass® toll passes. These can be used on most toll roads and bridges throughout Florida. However, they cannot be used at the toll to Key Biscayne or on the Venetian Causeway.
- In California, including many universities, cars are equipped with FasTrak® toll passes. These can be used on all toll roads throughout California, Bay Area bridges and future Express Lanes.
- In Washington state, including all universities, cars are equipped with Good To Go! passes. These can be used on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, SR 167 HOT lanes and the SR 520 floating bridge.
- In Canada, tolls for highway 407 in Toronto and the Golden Ears Bridge and road network in Vancouver are charged electronically as you pass through them — there are no tollbooth attendants. We receive a monthly statement with toll charges and then bill the charges to your Zipcar account.
In all the other cities you'll need to pay cash at the tollbooths.
Personal toll passes
If your Zipcar comes with a toll pass, don't try to use your own personal pass instead as this may confuse the system and result in double-charging. If you're in one of our cities that does not offer toll passes, you may use your own as long as you follow the rules and regulations set up by the toll authority. This means that you'll need to register the Zipcar on your account. If we receive notice of an unpaid toll, we'll have to redirect it to you, along with a penalty charge.
Do you have roadside assistance?
Can I take my pet in a Zipcar?
Service animals used by disabled members or passengers with disabilities are an exception. These animals are allowed in the car without a pet carrier. If you need to bring a service animal into a Zipcar, please let us know by calling 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR so that we can clean the car for the next member.
Can I smoke in a Zipcar?
Oh, and holding a cigarette outside the car while driving is STILL considered smoking in the car. Just so you know.
Can someone else drive during my reservation?
Non-members are not covered by our insurance. If you allow a non-member to drive during your reservation, you will be responsible for repairs if damage occurs to the car while they're driving. You will lose your membership as well. Which is a bad thing.
What if I've left (or found) something in my Zipcar?
If you find an item belonging to another member, please place it in the glove compartment or trunk.
What if I'm picking up my car from a garage with a valet?
Here are a few more things to know about garages with valets:
Calling ahead
Some garages request that you call prior to your reservation. If this applies to your reservation, you'll see a note and the garage's phone number on your reservation confirmation page.
Waiting for your Zipcar
If the garage is busy, sometimes you may have to wait to get your car, even if you've called ahead. If you have not scanned into your reservation by your scheduled start time, call us at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR and we will work with you to extend your reservation or credit you accordingly for lost time.
Resolving issues with your reservation
If there's a problem with your reservation or vehicle, please call Zipcar. While garage attendants have a good working relationship with Zipcar, they are employed by the garage — not by Zipcar. If you have an issue, the attendant may not be able to assist you in the same way that a Zipcar rep can.
Tipping garage attendants
If the garage attendant was kind, courteous, did the job well and you wish to extend gratitude, they will appreciate the gesture. The choice to give a gratuity for service is a personal one, and certainly yours to make.
Can I use a valet service during my reservation?
Can I park in commercial zone during my reservation?
What if I get a ticket during my reservation?
Report it. Call us right away at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR or email email@example.com and let us know that you received a ticket. Whether you've paid it, or decided to appeal it, we want a record of what's happening. We want to know the date and time the violation was issued, the license plate of the vehicle, the type of violation (speeding, parking, etc), the ticket #, how much it is for and what city gave it to you. This way if something goes wrong in the payment process, or you encounter glitches, we'll know you've got it covered and we won't just assume you tossed it in the gutter. Note that certain violations may impact insurance coverage, so it's very important to report any violation to Zipcar.
What if I don't pay it? If you do not pay a ticket, we will be notified and charge you a $30 processing fee. Additionally, you are responsible for the cost of the ticket. If we can, we will redirect the violation to you. If we can't redirect it, we will pay the fine, along with any late fees and bill the total to your account. Other fines or membership suspension can also result, so please pay the ticket when you get it.
Can I dispute it? If you wish to contest a violation and the issuing municipality allows it, be sure to do so promptly! If we receive a notice in the mail, and you have yet to dispute the ticket with the issuing municipality, we will automatically bill your account for the amount of the violation, plus the processing fee.
What if I'm in an accident with my Zipcar?
- Call the emergency services if there are any injuries, damage to either vehicle involved, or if you believe you are not at fault. Having a police report is your best defense during an insurance investigation. If the police will not come to the scene, be sure to ask them why and let us know their reason.
- Then call us at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR to tell us there's been an accident.
- Collect the following information:
- If someone was injured, note whether a the individual was taken from the scene in an ambulance, and find out which hospital they were taken to.
- Record when (date and time) and where the incident happened.
- Get the contact details for all parties involved, including the driver's name (and vehicle owner, if different from the driver), phone number, address, license number, insurance company and policy number, vehicle registration plate number and vehicle identification number (VIN).
- If there was damage to an object (fence, sign, post, etc), get the contact information of the owner.
- Protect your version of the incident:
- Take pictures of all damage and the scene of the accident. This is very important for any insurance claim that might be filed.
- Get independent witnesses. Your passengers, family and friends do not count as independent witnesses. If any other bystanders witnessed the incident, ask for their contact details and get them to write down what they saw.
- Take note if any party apologizes or accepts responsibility for the incident. If possible, get it in writing and notify us of this information. You can even call us at 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR and put the other party on the phone with us.
- Once you're back home safe and sound, we'll need some documentation about the incident. See details.
- If you have completed steps 1 through 5, then go do something nice for yourself. After all, you did everything you could just the way we needed you to.
Unfortunately your Zipcar membership will be suspended until we obtain all of the details about the accident. For insurance purposes, we have to complete a thorough investigation, but you will be notified as soon as your account is reinstated. This process usually takes about two weeks. You can always email firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions or call your local office.
Fueling up
Who pays for gas?
How do I put gas in the Zipcar?
Always check your car details or the inside of the gas cap to ensure you add the correct fuel type — mistakes can be expensive!
In some countries, the fuel card is in a different spot inside the car. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
What if the gas card isn't accepted?
Returning your Zipcar
Where do I return the Zipcar when I am done?
Need a reminder of the car's home location? Directions are available on your reservation confirmation and in the mobile apps.
What if the Zipcar space is taken or blocked?
If there's another car in the Zipcar spot, please make a note of the make, model, and number plate of the unfortunate offender so that we can have them towed away.
How do I end my reservation?
Be sure to lock up with your Zipcard and leave the keys inside the car. (Even if you're returning the car to a location that has a valet service, make sure to scan out.)
Do I get credit for returning the car early?
What happens if I return the car late?
If you return your car late, you will be charged late fees starting at $35. Timely returns are really important in the world of car sharing. If someone returns a car late, then the next member can't start their reservation on time. We'll have to find them another car, and sometimes we'll even have to put them in a taxi to get to it. So you can see why we need to have late fees. We're not trying to be mean, we're just trying to make sure that members get their cars when they need them.
Here are a few tips to help avoid late return fees:
- Sign up for Zipcar Text Alerts. We'll send you reminders about your reservation, and also let you know if you can extend your trip.
- When you reserve your car, make sure you allow enough time for your entire trip. Think about travel time (there and back) and the amount of time you'll spend at your destination. Go ahead and book a little extra if you're not sure.
- Leave your destination on time. If it took you an hour to get there, most likely it's going to take you an hour to get back. Allow some cushion for traffic delays too.
- If at any time during your reservation you realize that you won't be able to get the Zipcar back on time, you can always try to extend your reservation from your smartphone or call 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR. If there's not another reservation immediately after yours, you can extend. If someone is waiting for the car, we will need to make other arrangements for them, so please call us as soon as you can.
What happens if I return the car dirty or with low fuel?
Insurance and damage
What's the insurance policy?
Every member in good standing who follows the rules is covered by our insurance while driving a Zipcar. Here are the highlights:
- Comprehensive collision coverage
- Liability coverage of $1,000,000
- Provincial minimum levels for other statutorily required coverages
- Members are responsible for a $1,000 damage fee per incident, which can be reduced or eliminated with an optional damage fee waiver.
For the full scoop on insurance, check out the member contract.
Making a reservation outside of Canada? Note that the insurance details vary depending on where you drive. Learn more about driving Zipcars in other countries.
What is a damage fee and when does it apply?
If a sufficiently insured third party is found to be 100% at-fault, then the Zipcar member would not be responsible for the damage fee. Members are also not responsible for normal wear and tear on the vehicle. However, the fee does apply to damage caused by unavoidable events such as floods, hail, wind, trees falling, etc.
Before each reservation, we ask you to check the car inside and out and report any damage. This ensures that you will not be held responsible for damage that may have happened before your reservation.
Will my credit card cover my damage fee?
If you are covered by your credit card, make sure to use it to pay for your reservations. You can update your credit card info here.
If you've been in an accident while driving a Zipcar and you've filed a claim with your credit card company, they will want to see documentation. Please contact Sedgwick CMS at 1-866-345-2474 to request this documentation.
Will my personal auto insurance cover my damage fee?
Can I purchase a damage fee waiver?
A damage fee waiver becomes effective on the purchase date. Waivers are non-refundable.
What happens during an accident investigation?
- Your first responsibility is to immediately report the incident to 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR. Within 24-72 business hours you will be contacted by Zipcar's Claims Administrator, Sedgwick CMS. You will be asked to provide information about the incident as well as other supporting documentation (pictures, police reports, etc.) to a Claims Adjuster. At the time of incident it is important, to the best extent possible, to obtain a police report along with pictures of the damage, the third party's information, etc.
- If you believe anything was unusual or you have some concerns (for example, maybe there was pre-existing damage), you need to report that to the Claims Adjuster.
- The local Zipcar office will inspect the vehicle for damages and bring the vehicle to a repair shop to get pictures and an estimate.
- If an insurance claim is necessary, one will be filed with Zipcar's Claims Management company (Sedgwick CMS). If you receive any communications from the other party or their insurer, please notify Sedgwick CMS as quickly as possible with their information (including company name, adjuster name, claim number, and phone number).
- You will be notified by way of phone calls and emails from the Liability Adjuster (from Sedgwick CMS) when all the steps of the investigation are complete and, based on the estimate of damage received, and whether or not a damage fee applies.
If, at any time during the claims process, you have questions specific to your membership please call 1‑866‑4ZIPCAR. For questions directly related to your incident regarding liability, damages, or credit card claims, please contact Sedgwick CMS at 1-866-345-2474.
What happens if there is an insurance claim?
1. Subrogation: If a subrogation claim is initiated, this means that based on your incident report, we believe there is a chance that you are not responsible for the accident and we are therefore pursuing another party for payment for the Zipcar damages and loss of use. If at any time you want more information regarding the claim or if you recall additional important details regarding your accident, please contact Sedgwick CMS at 1-866-345-2474.
Understand that if the insurance company finds you to be responsible in any way for the incident, the claim is denied, or there is no insurance coverage by the other party, the damage fee may apply. However, remember that you have great coverage with Zipcar, so we'll cover the cost of the damages beyond the damage fee. However, rest assured that we will notify you in advance if the case seems to be veering out of your favor. Usually these cases are resolved within a month or two and you will be contacted regarding the results of the case.
2. Liability: A liability claim indicates that you, the driver of the Zipcar, are at least partially responsible for the accident. If our insurers pay the other party for their property damage or medical bills, you will be responsible for the damage fee based on the total cost of the accident.
If you are responsible for an accident but you believe there was little to no damage to the other party's vehicle, please contact us immediately. We will need pictures of the other party's vehicle, a police report, and/or a witness' statement to verify the damage. Remember, you are our eyes at the scene of an accident and we depend on you for evidence.
What happens if I don't agree with the insurance company's decision regarding fault?
What if my credit card provides accident coverage?
If the credit card that you use for Zipcar reservations provides coverage (or you think it might), please file a claim with your credit card immediately following the accident. The faster you do this, the more likely it is that your credit card company will pay for the damages and you won't have to pay anything!
American Express:
You can file your claim online via the following link: https://yourcarrentalclaim.com/ Or you can call 1.800.338.1670 and select option 1 to file a claim.
Please call (800) 622-7747 and ask to file an auto claim. They'll transfer you to the correct area. MasterCard claims require that you sign a form and send it back to them. On this form, please be sure to check off "Irrevocable Assignment of Benefits;" this will allow MasterCard to work with Zipcar directly on the claim so you won't be charged.
Call (800) 252-4670 to file a claim or go to Chubb.com for more information on your coverage.
Diner's Club:
Call (800) 613-5975 to file a claim.
Please call 1-800-348-VISA (1-800-348-8472) and ask to file an auto claim. There are certain terms and conditions that apply, so please review www.visa.com/benefits for additional information or to file your claim online.
Please call the customer service number on your credit card statement, then ask to file an auto claim, they'll transfer you to the correct area.
To file a claim, you will be asked your card number and expiration date, personal information (name, address, phone, email), as well as information about the accident and the Zipcar vehicle itself. The 'rental agreement' or 'contract number' is simply your Zipcard number. Please make sure to provide the address of our Home Office at 35 Thomson Place, Boston, MA 02210, (p) 617.995.4231.
One key question that they usually ask is "Did you decline the collision damage waiver (CDW)?" If you did not purchase the damage fee waiver from Zipcar, then you can answer YES to this question. If you did purchase the Zipcar damage fee waiver, your answer would be "NO, however, our damage fee covers the whole cost of the accident, not just collision damage." In other words, the Zipcar waiver is not solely for collision and you may still qualify for the coverage through your credit card by explaining this point.
Once the claim is filed, your credit card company may contact you or the Claims Management Company (Sedgwick CMS) for additional documentation. Generally, if approved, this whole process takes less then a few short weeks and members don't end up having to pay anything toward the accident. Unfortunately, if your credit card company denies the claim, you will be responsible for the damage fee.

American Cowboy is proud to be affiliated with A Home for Every Horse, a program dedicated to supporting equine rescues. Twice a year, A Home for Every Horse hosts the Equine Comeback Challenge, a competition that puts rescue horses in the spotlight and shows how they can be just as capable, trainable, and talented as any other horse. For the program, trainers are paired with unstarted rescue horses and given 90 days to work with them before competing at the Challenge in a trail class.
Tate Welch, Editor-in-Chief Bob Welch's son and the youngest competitor of the Challenge, was paired with PollyAnna. Watch their incredible run!

From Quarter Horse News, press release:
At McQuay Stables in Tioga, Texas, the focus has long been on exceptional performance - both human and equine. But people close to owners Tim and Colleen McQuay know that underlying all the awards and accolades the couple's real focus has always been the love of the horse.
So, losing any horse would be hard. But saying goodbye to a great one pushed the difficulty to another level when Colonels Smoking Gun, known worldwide simply as "Gunner," lost his battle with laminitis on July 8. The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Hall of Fame inductee and $5 Million Sire was humanely put down after spending the last week at Equine Medical Associates in Pilot Point, Texas, under the constant care of Dr. John McCarroll.
Gunner was a horse for the ages. When he made his center-stage debut at the NRHA Futurity in 1996, the reining world fell in love with the diminutive sorrel with the floppy ears and white tail. After tying for the NRHA Futurity Open Reserve title as a 3-year-old, he went on win the US Equestrian Team Reining Championship in 2001. He was immortalized as a Breyer Horse and finished his career with earnings over $177,000.
The McQuays have owned Gunner since 2005, and in those ensuing years, his record as a sire elevated him to legendary status. His outstanding offspring include 2009 NRHA Futurity and 2010 Derby Open Champion, Gunnatrashya. Gunner has sired numerous Futurity and Derby finalists and champions, in both the Open and Non Pro divisions, including 2012 NRHA Open Futurity Champion, Americasnextgunmodel, 2012 NRHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion, Gunners Tinseltown, and 2012 NRHA Non Pro Co-Champion, Customized Gunner. Gunner has also sired Gunners Special Nite, winner of the individual Gold medal at the 2010 World Equestrian Games.
Attendees at the 2013 NRHA Derby who watched Jordan Larson ride HF Mobster (Gunner X Dun Its Black Gold) to the Open Championship and Mandy McCutcheon ride Always Gotyer Gunsup (Gunner X Always A Dunit) to the Non Pro Championship had no knowledge that the great stallion had already begun to suffer from the first signs of laminitis.
As the word spread of Gunner's demise, his owners immediately began to receive texts and calls from all over the globe, further evidence of the great stallion's popularity and impact. Tim McQuay noted, "We appreciate everyone who supported Gunner through his career--he had a great team. He will be laid to rest next to Hollywood Dun It on our farm. We will truly miss him."
Colleen McQuay added, Gunner was a sweet happy horse, and when I look at all he has given us I can only be grateful for the time we shared with him. Losing him leaves another hole in our hearts."

From the PRCA/Lazy E Arena:
OKLAHOMA CITY – The United Way has set up its temporary control center at the Goodwill Headquarters building in downtown Oklahoma City to assist with the distribution of PRCA merchandise to those affected by the recent tornadoes in Moore, Okla., and the surrounding areas.
Tornado victims will be able to come in and select what they need at no charge.
The PRCA donated 300 boxes of 2012 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo merchandise valued at approximately $30,000 to aid the people of Oklahoma. Assisting in the effort was the PRCA's partners, the Lazy E Arena and Express-Lazy E based in Oklahoma.
"The PRCA is happy to be able to support our rodeo family and friends in Moore, Oklahoma City and all of the nearby areas which were affected by these tragic storms," PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman said. "Oklahoma City is the site of one of our biggest PRCA events produced by Express-Lazy E – the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo – and we hope this donation will help those in need during this time of rebuilding."

The NSA and Big Data: What IT Can Learn
Recent revelations about the NSA's cyber-spying capabilities are an IT version of sausage-making: Everyone knew something was going on, but it all seemed much more disturbing once the messy details were exposed. While there's plenty for privacy advocates and civil libertarians to grouse about, the technologies underpinning the NSA's data collection and analysis programs provide much for IT pros to cheer. The agency has built a scalable, extensible, secure big data system that rivals, and in some cases exceeds, anything cloud heavyweights like Google, Amazon or Apple have deployed.
We'll examine the open source and commercial technologies the agency uses in its big data collection and analysis infrastructure, diving into details about Accumulo, the BigTable- and Hadoop-based system it developed and later open sourced, and discuss promising applications for the enterprise. These cyber swords in the war on terror can indeed be bent into IT plowshares in the quest for business success. (S7250713)

Regardless, the homicide rate in this country has steadily declined over the last fifty years and has even hit all time lows. Those changes have corresponded to a increase in gun control along with many other initiatives to limit violent crimes.
So if the number of homicides is dropping at the same rate as homicides by firearms, then there is no correlation between gun control laws and then drop in firearm related homicides.
There is a correlation between the decrease in firearm-related homicides and homicides as a whole.

Skip to comments.Obama to announce his immigration reform plan, said to be more liberal than Senate effort
Posted on 01/29/2013 5:29:25 AM PST by jimbo123
The Obama administration has developed its own proposals for immigration reform that are more liberal than a separate bipartisan effort in the Senate, including a quicker path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, people with knowledge of the proposals said.

Because we know compromise means giving the Democrats most of what they want.
We will just have to drop the Senate's plan and use Obama's plan. After all he is the One.
Before Amnesty is even spoken about we should prove for one year that we can stop any more illegals from entering this country.
Then and only then should we look at Amnesty for those already here.
Agreed. We have to stop giving them what they ask for and wait forever to receive our side of the bargain.
Step up border enforcement now, then we'll consider passing amnesty. Not give citizenship to millions of illegals now and never see the border closed.
This is a coordinated strategy between Bonner , mitchy, rove , Reid, Jeb , mccaishame, grahamnasty ,and the Obama drones !
Intentionally Distract the country with gun grabbing then ram thru amnesty !
Wow let's compromise so Obama 's plan Does not get passed !
It's such a phony farce it's insulting !
The big Ag and grocery stores such as HES runs the GOP !

You can bet that none of these "undocumented, in-the-shadows victims of xenophobic America" will be counted as law breakers. I wonder what it will take for "immigration reform" to consider an act in violation of law -- and actually do something about it?!
To whomever favors "immigration reform": Please explain:
This plan is the equal of coming home and finding some clown living in your home...you tell him to get out, he tells you adopt me so I can live off you for life. The police arrive and agree with the clown.
I guess I should look at it from the perspective of Obama, McCain, et al.
We are not limited to being like Europe with respect to economics alone. We can be like them in many ways. For example,
No-Go Zones for Non-Muslims Multiplying All Over Europe
"Hispanic controlled zone. No English . . . ."
There is no limit to the amount of taxpayer funded goodies the democrat will promise a prospective voter.
The Stupid Party foiled again.
Obama's ONLY plan:
1. Let everyone have citizenship who can swim here, climb here, walk here, or fly here.
2. Immediately put them on welfare and keep them on it.
3. Require nothing in return.
4. Secure their votes. Forever.
Oh, and:
4. Become a dictator for life and ruin the once great USA. Turn it into a Tower of Babylon.
The only question is can the GOP be so stupid, or do they hope to be able to compete in the America Obama is creating?
Absolutely and AMEN!!
If we do not, imagine the tsunami of illegals flowing into this country once they realize they can get amnesty. There will be a river of brown flowing over our southern border.
So the GOP slides dramatically to the Left to embrace the Democrats' immigration plan, and then Obama moves the goal posts even further to the Left on them.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Please notice the complete lack of any of our Rep's names in the RINO list in reply #1. Kinda cool!
And McCain, et al walked right into this trap.
The leftist ruin of America.
Please notice the complete lack of any of our Rep's names in the RINO list in reply #1. Kinda cool!
In the senate, they are playing Marco Rubio like a Walmart kazoo. There he was on Fox smiling away between two of the most deceitful members ever to serve in the senate, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durban. Marco wants acceptability to bolster his presidential ambitions and they will use him for their end while at the same time costing him conservative voters.
I wrote Rubio's office to ask him to smoke out the truth in this affort by trying to put into the bill that all people signing up for the pathway process must answer under oath whether they have ever voted in a US election. With vote fraud being a felony, my guess is the (D)s would oppose that element as being a pert of any legislation. This is not a path to citizenship. Nor, is it an effort for legitimate immigration reform. It is amnesty and voter registration for the DNC - nothing more.
That's why these RINOs need to be pressured by Conservates both inside and OUTSIDE of their districts. If your congressman isn't a RINO, call the ones OUTSIDE your district instead!
Obama has no desire to stop the flow of potential welfare recipients into this country. His idea of amnesty is registering all of Mexico to vote for free stuff from the few million tax payers still left in this country...
When the money runs out Greece will look like utopia
This is a coordinated strategy between Bonner , mitchy, rove , Reid, Jeb , mccaishame, grahamnasty ,and the Obama drones !
Did you notice McConnell sending Sen. Sessions out as a sop to conservatives?
McConnell isn't stopping this deal but too much opposition in the House. The deal will fall apart and we will have fiscal cliff fiasco 2.0: the dems voting it through the House with GOP "leadership" hiding under their desks. BOHICA.
Do you know that then-senator Obama cast the deciding vote AGAINST the immigration reform bill in 2007?
I don't think he will actually pass his liberal bill - I think he made so unacceptable, on purpose, to ensure it remains an open issue - and he can blame the Republicans for 'blocking' his bill. Thus ensuring that more voters will vote against the Republicans, probably forever.
I also believe the same about his gay marriage lies. He wants that to remain open as well, another issue he can blame the Republicans for.
It really doesn't matter which way the Republicans vote. If they support illegal amnesty, they alienate their own voters and the Dem voters will still be Dem votes.
If they support gay marriage, same thing. Their own voters will be alienated and the gays will still vote for the Dems.
It's a win-win for Obama and the Republicans are unable to win no matter what they do.
I'm 66 and I don't think I will see another Republican President in my lifetime.
Previous voter registration is the key. Anyone who is against checking that and making it a deal breaker until charges are tried is lying about wanting fair immigration reform.
"OF course it will be more 'liberal'. Its all the democrats have to do when the GOP tries to play their game - just raise the progressive ante."
Yep. This why Republicans will always lose the pandering game. They will never be able to match the goodies that the Dems can promise.
Plus, Obama's announcing his own, even further leftwing plan, in order to make the Senate "bipartisan" plan look "moderate" in comparison. He wants people to focus on his plan to try to get them to overlook the multitude of flaws with the Senate plan, so that the Senate plan can be the default in the end.
So our national debt is 17 trillion, but we're taking on a multi-trillion dollar health care bill, and then adding tens of millions of foreigners onto the free health care bill? What could possibly go wrong?
I dont think he will actually pass his liberal bill - I think he made so unacceptable, on purpose, to ensure it remains an open issue - and he can blame the Republicans for blocking his bill. Thus ensuring that more voters will vote against the Republicans, probably forever.
I think the Dems really want to get amnesty done this time. Huge Dem voting blocks in key places like FL and TX. FL will become a solid blue state with amnesty and Dem GOTV.
The dims won't get a better time to push it through since the GOP thinks they have our votes locked up due to gun control. It's going to happen, now.
Baynative: "It is amnesty and voter registration for the DNC - nothing more."
And that is exactly why the Obama immigration plan is to #1 NOT secure the border as a precondition and #2 speed up the amnesty process.
Buy Votes & Collaborate with Enemies
"I won! I will be More Flexible!"
Long ago George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and many other Founding Fathers warned that when the "greedy takers" - non-working voters exceed the number of productive citizens that the takers and corrupt politicians will start voting for bribes for themselves and bribing private companies to receive kickbacks
As America started increasing the numbers of voters certain special interest groups demanded that government give them everything they desired and more
That is what we now see in Washington DC and in our state capitals and our huge crime ridden bankrupt urban cities and chrony-capitalist companies run by politician's relatives
President Dwight David Eisenhower gave us the same dire warnings too.
MNDude: "What could possibly go wrong?"
Why nothing of course. These are hard working undocumented immigrants who are doing the nasty jobs Americans won't do. They're also faithful Catholics, totally conservative, highly moral Christians who strongly support traditional family, respect the law, and can't wait to join American conservatives. Plus, let us not forget that most of them have lived here so long they can't remember anything about their home countries. They're practically Americans already! It would be a crime against humanity to send them home to a place they don't even know!
And WHAT OF THOSE GOING AT BEING AND AMERICAN CITIZEN LEGALLY? I MEAN WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND TO THEM?
Gads, does this idiot ever think things through? Talk of shooting from the hip
Karliner: "Gads, does this idiot ever think things through?"
Well, that's one theory. The other theory is he knows exactly what he's doing. Personally? I think it's the latter. Even if President Obama is himself an idiot, his advisers are not necessarily so. They have a plan. Remaking the USA with waves of newly amnestied, generally socialist immigrants is part of it.
Last night I was watching Univision and they were talking about Amnesty. I couldnt understand much they were saying, but they kept showing children in Mexico crying saying "I miss my father".
I guess their point was that families are being separated by the mean USA whenever an illegal succesfully makes it across the border but his family remains on the other side.
Boo flippin' hoo. Why don't they (these dads) just stay in Meheeco and *demand* better wages/conditions? They can "be the change" for their homeland.
That's why I am writing congressional reps to urge that they include checking voter registration on all applicants.
Rush takes it even further by saying the bill should include that the amnesty include not voting for 25 years.
Democrat opposition would prove their insincerity.
Jamie Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) is being targeted by democrats to vote for amnesty. She needs contacting.
NOTE: When contacting reps using their automated email link it is wise to copy one of their office addresses and zip code if you don't live in their district. Otherwise your message is filtered out. I learned this from an office staffer in DeeCee.
That Shariah poster reminded me of the laugh I had trying to envision what it looked like at the Muslim Inaugural Ball for Obama last week. No, drinking, no music, no dancing ... how does that work at a ball?
Well, duh.
I mean, Obama's never going to propose anything that has a prayer of passing, because he wants to just use it as a brush to paint the GOP as unreasonable obstructionists, while a more "moderate" proposal actually comes from the legislators.
So, to do that, he's going to take the intended proposal and veer hard left from it to ensure it won't pass, but that the intended bill looks more reasonable in comparison.
That's the fallacy of all the leftists' "compromise" rhetoric - when their proposal is blatantly radical, the "compromise" solution always looks so much better, and their leader can then say the other side isn't willing to compromise if they reject the still leftist "compromise"..
Kind of like proposing to drive over the cliff at 100 mph and complaining that we're not willing to compromise and accept 50 mph.
Of course Obama wants these illegals to get amnesty..its the only way to keep permanent control..11 million new DemoCRAP voters equals Obama as President for life..does the GOP think for one second that they will get ANY illegal alien votes by giving them citizenship..WAKE UP GOP they will NEVER vote for you
NO WAY any Democrat should want to secure the border and slow the influx of Democrat voters. This is all part of the Democrat master plan to get the takers to outnumber the makers, achieve and strengthen a Democrat voters majority, and enjoy perpetual Democrat party control.
Plus, this is really just the latest installment of illegal aliens suffrage. Whenever suffrage is on the table, anyone from either party who votes AGAINST it risks political suicide by alienating the target voting bloc now and forevermore, should it pass without their vote.
At times like this, I tend to agree with the term limits crowd. Career politicians are more apt to put their self-interest ahead of the nation.
....guess we shouldn't have given our nation to these guys.
Oh well.
Go pay your taxes. The new neighbors are sure going to need the money. :)
Do the math, folks.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center:
First generation Hispanics vote 80% for the Democrat Party.
According to the Census Bureau:
Each new citizen "imports" 2.1 new family members within ten years.
Amnesty - in ANY form - means the political death of American Conservatism.
Why do I have to comply with Obamacare? It's unpopular law that no one wants.
Why do I have to obey speed laws? They obviously don't work.
This is their MO. place a pile of crap on a plate and a pile of crap between two slices of bread and ask people which one they will be eating today..
But elections have consequences.
I know it will be pushed upon us so I am writing my Congresscritters and asking for picture ID for voting...
Might as well get something out of this fiasco.
I haven't seen anyone comment on the irony of our congresscritters falling all over themselves to grant amnesty to millions of criminals in this country while at the same time proposing to turn millions of law abiding patriotic gun owners into criminals . . . .

Is Bruce Springsteen heading to the land down under in early 2014? Speculation abounded today as Triple M radio listed six concert dates in Australia with presale tickets dates a few short days from now, and public onsale dates near the end of August.
The webpage was taken down moments later, but our own Susan McDonald captured the screenshots you see here. Still viewable on the Triple M radio website is an advertisement to win tickets to the Australian 2014 tour.
Last week, it was announced that the four dates in South America in September would be the "Final 2013 Wrecking Ball dates." So, is the Wrecking Ball Tour heading to Oz in 2014?
Although I'd be thrilled for Australia if these dates were true, I can't help but wonder why Oz? Is it because tracks were recorded with Tom Morello while they were touring in Australia this year? Or, is there indeed an European issue as we pondered earlier this week? As Andy Greene pointed out in a recent article on Rolling Stone's website, "Springsteen hasn't played a single American concert since 2012." We can only hope if Bruce Springsteen does return to Australia in 2014 the tour will continue in the United States as well. Fingers crossed, and stay tuned!
