I ordered the Samsung E250 several years ago. At the time I wanted something fairly cheap, and practical. Still to this day I'm not interested in getting a Smartphone - I like my phones for calling and texting, that's the way I roll.
-Day to Day-
This phone is a feature phone - it has a camera, radio, MP3 player, WAP browser, and bluetooth.
My previous phone was a Nokia but I quickly got used to the different software on this phone. It's fairly self-explanatory and easy to figure out without the manual. But if you are need a little help the the manual is clear and straight-forward.
The reasonably sized buttons make texting and calling quick and easy. Although if you really struggle with keypads then I recommend purchasing a phone with larger and more spaced out buttons, such as one of the Doro mobile phones.
I have never timed how long it takes to charge as I usually just leave it on charge overnight but after charging it during the day a couple of weeks ago I reckon it can get to full charge within a couple of hours. Once charged the phone stays on standby for several days.
The bluetooth worked fine until I upgrade to Windows 7, since then I've not be able to connect my phone to my PC. But as it is a feature I rarely use I haven't really missed it.
The camera is pretty poor. The photos are just about good enough to use as a background pic for your phone but nothing more. They're certainly not good enough for Facebook or to print out.
The sound quality on the radio/Mp3 player is good but again it's not something I really use. I wanted a phone for calls and texting.
My model is plain black. I have a liking for black phones as they seem to look better for longer. I think it's a combination of marks not showing up as well on black and black has a sort of business feel. Although not the most attract phone it's not the ugliest either. The simple and clean design means it looks reasonably attractive.
It has been dropped numerous times, chewed, and dribbled over by my 13 month old. It has been splatted with paint, clay, and pottery glaze. After all this abuse it's still going strong. However, it did start to stick a little last week; normally sliding the phone up is not a problem but for some reason (could be any of those things above) it started not sliding up straight away - it would take a couple of attempts. This problem has since sorted itself out and the phone is back to it's usual easy-gliding self.

If you want a basic, easy to use phone with no fuss then this phone is for you. If you want an all singing, all dancing phone then move along.
I bought this phone from 02 about a year ago. At that time with an upgrade I bought it for £29. If I am honest, what attracted me to it apart from the price tag was the purple colour. (I know that is very shallow.) The phone has an SD slot so that you had store a load of pictures. This is an excellent wee phone that is packed with features. Navigation around the phone is not the easiest but it is an ideal phone for the basics.
Web browsing is able to be done, if somewhat slow.
The phone has a camera on it, which again is ok for the quick picture but not for top quality pictures.
When I first got the phone, the battery life was superb, I only needed to charge it on a weekly basis. (Now every 3 to 4 days)
A brilliant phone that gives you a load of features , at an affordable price.
I have had this phone about two years now I got it as a replacement and for a lower end phone I have to agree that for the money it is very good value for money it does all that you can ask from it but I was never able to connect to the internet with this phone even after going into vodafone they were unable to sort out this problem I do feel that this is a very light and phone and think that it would be an ideal 1st phone for kids. I don't have this as my regular any more but keep it as a backup phone that the family can use as necessary because it has always been reliable takes reasonabl photos sends and receives messages the mp3 player is ok and plays good music I don't think that you could go far wrong it you were to buy this phone
For the price this is on sale for, this phone represents very good value for money. This phone is almost identical to its older brother, the Samsung D900, except being the lower end "budget" version. The user interface is pretty straight-forward and is some of which you can literally jump straight into using without having to consult the instruction manual. The camera is only a VGA (a measly 0.3 megapixels) but then again, if you're serious about taking photos when you're out and about, there is something called a digital camera... The onboard 10mb memory is very small but handily, this phone has a MicroSD slot for you to insert a memory card - bypassing the memory shortage problem. The FM radio is another nifty feature although you require the headphones to use it. The handset is light, sleek and feels easy on the hands, which is something that not all phones these days can say. On the whole, a very good value-for-money phone that does pretty much everything you'd expect from a phone of this price - very well.
This is a Samsung E250 slide phone. Comes with Charger, Headset, Good quality Camera. Available in Black,Pink and Silver.
I had this phone around two years ago and i found that the quality of the speaker was brilliant. It holds a micro SD memory card which can hold upto eight GB of all those important pictures you would like to look back on. Also it holds a wide range of music for ringtones and alarms. I find it a lot easier to text with rather than the more updated phones i find it better than the phones i have had recently so i decided to by this phone again and for the small sum of £40-50 pound i find it easy to use also the screen is alot easier to see.
I find the bad points of this phone are ; memory is not too good but you can upgrade it with a memory card also the music playback is not so good without the headset , it has a small resolution and the reception is not so good in various areas on certain networks.
Overall i find this phone very good for the older generation with difficulty such as texting ,hearing or seeing the screen it is also good for the younger generation for the music and picture quality so it is an all round enjoyment.
I bought this phone about 2 years ago from Tesco's for £30 which included £10 credit. I was fed up with all the little extra's phone makers were adding when all I wanted was a handset that was easy to text with and easy to talk on....this is the dogs watsits....nothing fancy although still a tidy looking phone and so easy to use. Good sized buttons for those with less slim fingers and a really smooth slide to open.
The screen seems bigger than a lot of the cheaper models too.
Use my phone now as a 2nd as I moved to an area with poor signal and the internal aerial was struggling to pick up T mobile. Having said that it struggles to pick up and signal for a good 5 minutes but once it has it it doesn't drop, unlike another phone I have had since that cost nearly £400!
This phone is a great buy and even if you wanted to just have it as a spare I would highly recommend it for price, ease of use and reliability.
Samsung E250 is a Triband GSM Mobile Phone. Used this phone for almost 22 months. The phone has a unique feature of Mobile Tracker. Good sound but music player cannot be minimized, i.e., you must stop the music to view any incoming text or make use of any other feature of the phone. Doesn't support .wav media files. Unlike other phones you need to move files to phone memory to set MP3 file as ringtone. Can protect your files by setting phone security code on folders. Bluetooth slows down a bit the functionality of the phone while files are in transit. Supports Bluetooth headset too. Average Battery backup. Keypad light can be customized as at what time it is to be kept on. This extends battery backup a little. GPRS comes with EDGE technology and can install JAVA games from GPRS only. Cannot install JAVA games or any other application when connected with PC. Camera not so good. Overall is a basic inexpensive phone with impressive features.
the Samsung SGH-E250
has a slide desing to save space and also stop the accidential calls to people by the non locking keypad. this one is automatically locked by simply sliding the phone. after that its very un likley that it will unlock again as there is combination of keys you have to press to get it back unlocked.
it has camera as standard that is capable of taking snapshots, multi shot and recording videos. you can also edit the effects for wierd and funny pictures.
All the pictures you take can be edited in the more section of the main menu.
it comes as either silver, light blue or a light pink to suit your liking.
its got bluetooth for the people who want to share multimedia with freinds and family.
there is a slot for SD cards if your tired with the dissapointing amount of memory that is already on the phone. just buy a memory card and slot it in, boosting the memory of your phone.
on the other side of the samsung it has a slot for earphones which do comes as standard with the phone. which you can use with all multimedia and also fm radio that is on the phone.
great phone, its got everything you will need.
To start off with, this phone was great. Only problem I had, was that the green telephone symbol button got stuck and i was unable to answer calls. The button directly above this green button also ended up getting stuck, which made life very complicated when texting and going through the menu facility.Overall, apart frm the two issues I had with this phone. The phone is small and compact and was nice to use.I would recommend a samsung phone to friends.
I got this phone because my Sony Ericsson broke and I needed a phone quick. I saw this in the shop and brought it straight away because it was only £28.99 and it looks smart for such a cheap phone and I've seen loads of people with them so I knew it must be ok.
It's a slide phone that comes in a few different colours like pink, black, lilac and silver. My mate reckons she's seen one in white but I've never seen that one but I think it would look smart.
The keypad is easy to use because the keys are well spaced out and I like slide phones because it stops me accidentally phoning someone when my phone is in the back pocket of my jeans.
The reception isn't always very good on this phone and sometimes I can't get it to work when I'm in the living room but when I take it into the kitchen it will let me make my phone call. It bugs me though because the signal strength is always on full so I should be able to use my phone but it won't let a call go through. It also takes for ages to tell me when I've got a voicemail and sometimes the message has been there for an hour before the phone decides to let me know it's there.
I can always hear whoever I'm talking to well and no-one has ever said that they can't hear me properly so the clarity is good. The loudspeaker is a bit naff but I don't use that very often so that doesn't bother me that much.
Texting is easy as well and I like how all the symbols are in one place when you press and hold the hash key because on my last phone all the symbols were mixed in with the letters on the number keys so I ended up having to press each key loads of times to get the symbol I wanted. I like how the phone flashes my balance up everytime I send a text because that helps me stay in control of my credit.
The camera is good and once I've sent my photos to the computer via bluetooth they are good enough to use as my desktop photo. If you zoom in too much thepicture comes blurry but that's the same with most camera phones.
The memory isn't very good on this phone so I brought an SD card to go in it and now I can hold loads. Before it would only hold about 20 photos and 1 song and that's no good for me but with the card it's ok and holds loads more.
There are a few games built into the phone but I don't play many games on it and they're not that good anyway. I've got the pink one which has got a Paris Hilton diamond switching game pre-loaded but it's crap and one of the most boring games ever.
FOr the price I reckon this phone is wicked. It looks like it should cost more and the features are quite good even though the games are not that good.
well normally i would go for the Nokia brand out of loyalty however this phone has changed my Nokia only attitude, The phone itself is stylish, affordable (cost me less than £30), quality build with good sound quality and battery life, it comes with functions you would expect from a higher price range phone such as mp3 player, camera, Micro SD slot, Bluetooth, GPRS, WAP and so on. The display is clear and menus are intuitive I found the move from Nokia not too daunting and quite enjoyable, the phone is small and the slide function works seamlessly and does not slacken off with use, however as with all phones and especially new phones, dropping it leaves marks and scuffs and the screen is not anti-scratch however for the price that cannot really be expected, Partly the longevity of this phone on the market shows it has been successful and still entices new users years after its inception.
this is my third samsung of this make as i keep having little accidents with them unfortunately they do not cope well with being dropped in a cup of tea but as they are not waterproof i cant complain. i have tried various types of phone and always have problems with what i call technology but my sister gave me this to try and i love it the black is so cool and the silver so up to date. i find it very easy to use and the slide casing very usefull for ease of use. the buttons are easily located inside and the screan easy to use for a novice. the mp3 player i find relatively easy to use and the camera the same, it can be a bit grainy though, i love the predictive feature on it and find it easy to use , its easy to carry lightweight and sleek , i would recomend this to anyone that wants a relatively basic phone thats easy to use with bluetooth , camera and mp3
My search for a cheap and cheerful personal mobile ended with the purchase of the Samsung E250. Everyone has different reasons and expectations from a mobile depending on their age, personality, lifestyle or business. I have a work contract mobile already so this one was just to keep in contact with family and friends more out of necessity rather than accessory. It needed to be reliable, but with a few extras to keep me amused.
I purchased the phone from Comet for about £35 on Vodafone pay as you go. I believe it can be purchased cheaper on other networks but I wanted Vodafone for one simple reason; so that I could easily switch to my Asda sim card and benefit from a cheaper service from the same basic network. For those interested in saving money on your pay as you go sim, please feel free to read my review on the subject.
The phone is the slider variety, of which I have had mixed success with in the past. It is slim, if not wafer thin, but has a good feeling weight in the hand, although I think it is let down by a slightly plastic feel which cheapens the phone to some extent. This is possibly being a little unfair to the phone; perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is a little dated compared to some of the more polished products out today. The reason I say I have had mixed results with sliders is that on previous phones of this nature I have found the mechanism a let down, exhibiting looseness or opening in my pocket unexpectedly. Luckily the E250 does not produce either of these faults; so far so good.
The display is of reasonable size, again more up to date phones are larger, brighter and more colourful, but lets not forget this is a £35 phone. The buttons on front are large enough and respond well without causing issue in my pocket. Sliding the phone open reveals the further keypad which is of course sunken, and anyone not familiar with this will need to get used to the concept, but after a short while it becomes second nature. The main number and letter keypad has smaller but slightly raised buttons. Again I found these surprisingly easy to use.
Delving into the menu system reveals a basic and monotone affair which gives a no nonsense approach. Apart from the standard calling features the phone has text, MMS and email options. Other features include a basic camera, MP3 player, voice recorder, fm radio and blue tooth. There is also a 2g internet browser.
Looking a little deeper into each area, first lets take that camera. The 0.3 megapixel VGA camera looks basic and indeed is nothing to write home about. There is no flash and although it has a reasonable attempt in good light conditions, once the light fades expect poor results. I would never consider using this for anything other than a casual snap when I do not have a better camera to hand. There is a video camera, also of similar quality, again only to be used when you have to.
The MP3 player is of good quality although the supplied headphones do let it down greatly. A shame as there is no standard 3.5mm jack so you are stuck with these ones. The capacity of the internal memory is only 13 Mbytes so only enough for a few songs. You can add to this though with the purchase of a micro SD card. I have a 2GB card in mine which happily hosts most of my album collection.
The voice recorder is a useful little application that I do use on occasion when I have a flash of inspiration (yes it does happen) and just need to record it instantly.
The Bluetooth is a good feature not always found on a budget phone, and again it works without issue, pairing easily with all but my paranoid Vista managed Laptop.
I must confess that I have barely used the FM radio and so cannot fairly assess it except to say that I suspect you will need to be in a very good reception area to pick up anything. I believe the earphones double as an antenna, although when I did try them out I could only pick up one local commercial station; not my cup of tea.
The internet browser is useful enough, once you have navigated away from the annoying Vodafone live. It would have been nice to have 3g but this is fast enough for casual use. I managed to download Opera mini which speeds things up a bit but I think the screen is perhaps a little small to benefit fully from this application.
To complete the picture, add in a Calendar, memo, alarm, conversion application, timer and stopwatch, and you have quite a considerable package, none of which stand out in themselves as anything other than basic facilities, but included here must be viewed as rather pleasant extras.
I was concerned originally when I bought the phone that the battery life may not have been up to the job, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the 2 to 3 days I get between charges for my low to medium use.
In summary I find this Samsung E250 a very capable and well equipped mobile phone. For the price, the list of features whilst basic in themselves, is impressive as a whole package and while the looks may be a little behind the times, I cannot remember an occasion when it has let me down, which rather tidily takes me back to the reason I bought it in the first place.
I'm surprised the reviews of this phone are so highly rated, because this is a very basic phone. I had a great Samsung phone but it broke after many years of use and had to get one for a cheap price. I picked this up for only £40 around year ago and it's done the job!
The first thing that stuck me was the basic screen graphics. The fonts and layouts are quite old but you do get colour and pictures, which is fine. The annoying thing about texting is that saving sent messages is not compulsary, so you cannot check you have sent something automatically. The storage is only 200 messages also, so you find you have to have a deleting session often.
I chose mine in a blue/purple and it is a very shiny, steel colour. The phone is light and slim, so great for a small handbag, but it is plastic so doesn't feel high quality.
The phone comes with headphones and radio access, so I've been listening to the radio constantly- something I could not do with my old Samsung phone sadly.
The battery life is good, when there is a low battery warning and no bars, it lasts for a surprisingly long time. I haven't yet (touch wood) found myself running totally out of battery as it gives a great warning. I've played music for hours and hours too and the battery is amazing.
The picture quality is fine, not the best but you can take decent photos and set them as your background. So far I've had no faults or strange happenings.
Overall, this phone is great for people who don't surrender to trendy, gimmicky phones and just want one that has all the features you would need and does the job well.
When deciding upon this phone, it really was not a well thought through decision. I should count myself lucky then, that it turned out to be one of the best purchasing decisions I have ever made. Costing me around £60, I picked this up 12 months ago. I was in the market for a quick replacement phone as mine had decided it wasn't going to turn on any more!
The network I used was vodafone and this phone had no problems in picking up a signal. Incoming and outgoing calls are nice and clear; no breaking up or static, and you can quickly and easily adjust the volume with a convevient side button. These basic features are often overlooked when buying a new phone, but I feel it is important to remember exactly what the word telephone means.
The secondary basic feature of any mobile phone is of course the text messaging facility. Supporting both sms and mms this phone's texting capabilities are pleasing. Quick and simple to send a message off to your mates (and I managed to turn off the awful invention that is predicative texting quickly and easily as well). MMS is supported by the phones digital camera.
The phone's VGA is satisfactory enough; not your top of the range of course, as you can now get 6,7, and even 8mp phone camera's. It does it's job though, and I found it useful, especially as there is no delay on the picture being taken.
The phone, I am reliably informed had a functioning FM radio. I can't personally comment on this as I haven't had the need to try it myself. It's certainly not something I look for in a phone, but is no doubt of use to some people.
The MP3 player came in very handy for me, as this was before I purchased an ipod. Good quality, though you won't be able to hold too many songs on it as there isn't a massive memory on the phone. This can be simply fixed I suppose, with the addition of an external memory card.
The sliding mechanism was new to me, as my previous phone had been a flip opener. I found this to be convenient to answer/end calls by flicking it up and down. I know a few people who have phones with a rather annoying, disjointed slide mechanism; this is not true of this phone. Simple and easy to use in a smooth motion.
I also feel the layout of the phone must be given a mention. User friendly and simple you will have no problem find your way round. For this reason the phone is open to all ages. The design of the phone itself is also very good. Also a bit thicker than more recent models, it offers a compact, easy on the eye image.
I stopped using this a few months ago now as I recieved a new phone, though I'll add that my new one is also a samsung following this great first encounter with their phones.

Ty Cobb: A Biography

Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Oktober 2004
BeschreibungWhen the National Baseball Hall of Fame inducted its first class of players in 1936, Ty Cobb received more votes than any other player-even more than did fellow inductee Babe Ruth. Cobb, known as the "Georgia Peach," was universally recognized as the best player from the "dead ball" era. He also had the reputation of being its most ferocious player. His fierce determination to succeed helped Cobb equal or surpass more offensive records than any other player, and his career average of .367 is still the highest of all time. Cobb's unyielding and often ferocious work ethic, though, made him many enemies, and his occasional episodes of violence marked an otherwise impeccable career. Baseball author Dan Holmes offers a fresh and fair-handed look at the life of baseball's first true superstar.

Leaving northern Thailand and crossing into Burma at Mae Sai was a simple affair, as large groups of beach-dressed westerners were doing the same thing. Unfortunately they were only after 'start again' Thai visas and immediately left, leaving us all alone in the 'Government tourist office'. After stoutly refusing their flights and hotels we dictated our 'Itinerary' on to an old manual typewriter and left with the phrase, 'See you tomorrow' echoingsomewhere. And early next morning, after watching a man talking to a puddle,back we went having found it impossible to leave the town without 'government assistance'. This basically involved a five hour 'taxi' through a deforested and supposedly bandit country part of the Shan State to Kyaingtong. There's a general law in Asia that durian fruit isn't allowed on public transport on account of its smell of a warm, sweet, fungal foot infection
So is it Burma or Myanmar? It greatly depends on who you speak to. Most Indians, left behind from the colonial days, will say Burma, and if a local from the countryside says Burma by accident he's fairly quick to correct himself. The Shan State comprises about a quarter of the 'Union of Myanmar', and with its own army and huge personal income from opium fields and Chinese imports it makes its own decisions, doesn't appear to have any independence desires and would rather be called Shan than anything else. The name Burma was originally coined by the British, and really only refers to the Bamar people (about 65% of the population). The military government recently renamed the country Myanmar, but seeing as the adjective 'Myanmarese' is a bit tricky, the word 'Burmese' is usually re-used instead. The only condition of our entry into the country was that we sign, and carry with us at all times, a piece of paper stating that, 'During our stay in Myanmar, we will not involve in the matters of politics and religion'. What a shame, our two favourite pub topics.
Even after traveling through northern India, Sri Lanka and Tibet, we've never been this immersed in Buddhism. Every male spends two periods of time as a monk, first as a novice, and again at an older age; it appears to create a population with hardly a bad thought in them. The amount of smiling, waving and general good naturedness is almost too much to take. Easy pickings for any oppressive government, perhaps. And whilst the military government appears to be a complete mystery to most people, they're all pretty afraid of it. In some areas very large, hi-tech looking complexes of buildings go under names such as 'Defence Services Administration School', in other words, military cadet college. Billboards command all to 'oppose those relying on external elements' (e.g. international human rights organisations and the UN), but it's all so hidden from the tourist eye that nothing initially appears to be amiss. After a few generations of it all most locals assume it to be normal. The first warning bells are the lack of mobile 'phone coverage and very little public internet (with many popular sites, such as Hotmail, banned). On one hand the government bows down to a powerful people like the Shan, whilst on the other it openly refuses to recognise the citizenship of some of the more remote ethnic groups. For families to escape over the border to seek refuge in a country as poor and venal as Bangladesh, there's clearly a serious threat at home.
Kyaingtong, in the depths of the Shan State, is a very pleasant town, but with recent wealth from illicit trades over the border with China many of the older buildings have come down to be replaced with fairly unpleasant 'concrete and shiny stuff' new ones. And when we attempted to take the bus west through the poppy fields to the next town we were very politely, but firmly, stopped. Our only option was to look at this as a little side excursion, a holiday if you will, from our traversing the globe by boat, bus and train. Then we stomped across the dirt and tarmac to our awaiting propellored plane. With no time to put seatbelts on we were coming down again with not a flower visible in the mountains, just the gold and jewels from a thousand stupas sparkling in the jungle far below.
Inle Lake really is beautiful. In a vast shallow hollow in the hills, sky and water become one huge reflection. Villages rise out of the haze on stilts and fishermen row with one leg wrapped around an oar (were they born with it?). And with the Buddhist Light Festival and New Year we were spoiled with huge floating processions at sunrise every morning.
Still riddled with guilt following our compulsory flight, we attempted to make up for it by walking to the next town, the former colonial hill station of Kalaw. Two very pleasant locals and a network of paths took us over and through jungled hills and down dales of patchwork farmland. Fantastic meals were prepared, and piles of blankets were laid out for us in old monasteries. We were awoken at 5am by pattering feet, shortly followed by eerie chanting from the novices. Then it was tea and soft biscuits with the Abbott, who sat huddled in his robes, grinning and gargling into a brass spittoon balanced on mountains of offerings of cigars, oranges, toothpaste etc.
On buses in Myanmar, women aren't allowed on the roof as this would result in their feet offending those beneath them. Will was therefore treated to terrifying/exhilarating views down winding mountain 'roads', near misses with low tree branches and waving locals as the bus descended from the hills to the dry, hot plains of the Mandalay Division. Emma, however, was treated to regular head butts from half nodding-off female sardines, whilst trying to avoid eye contact with the continual vomiting into small, blue nappy sacks. We hitched our way via happy trucks, and horse and cart, to Meiktila before arriving at the sacred desert of Bagan a couple of days later. The usual rumbling bullock/buffalo cart scenery was even more stunning than usual, and the 90% of Bagan tourists who arrive by 'plane must miss out on so much. Renting bikes, the outskirts of old Bagan seemed pretty much like the rest of Myanmar, with its relentless landscape of gold stupas, but as we cycled away in the soaring temperatures we really began to feel the magical beauty of the place. With construction starting around a thousand years ago a very dry, flat desert with an even scattering of trees, spiky bushes and snakes is littered with thousands of payas and stupas. Ranging from bare brick or crumbling white to glaring gold, and in every conceivable size from tiny to cathedral-like, the views from some are breathtaking. And while tourist bus after bus rumbles past heading for the main ones, thousands are left to be 'discovered' alone.
Sunsets over the gold temple and buffalo cart lined Ayeyarwady River are as good as they sound. Tourism is heavily controlled in Myanmar, the advantage being that if you keep away from the shepherded tour parties you are very much alone. The packed tourist boats are designed to run from Mandalay to Bagan, so taking it in the reverse direction means very few passengers. Departing at 4am also meant we were rewarded with, over ancient gold stupas, perhaps the finest starburst of a sunrise we'd yet witnessed; and arriving in Mandalay at 6pm meant we were treated to a perfect glowing sunset as we cruised past hillsides packed with colonial buildings, temples and monasteries.
You have to look hard to find some charm in Mandalay. It's not an ancient city and during WWII many buildings, including the palace, came in between Anglo Burmese and Japanese troops and were subsequently destroyed. Old Land Rovers bounce down run-down streets and it's said that the red, green and white trades (rubies, jade and heroin) feed the new economy. The result is further destruction and rebuilding in the unfortunate modern Chinese style. Government imposed US$ prices make the few attractions expensive, but as few tourists stop in the city a very warm reception is guaranteed everywhere you stray (except from the nervous guards at the Gate of Ill Omen - 'No Foreigners Allowed'). The city's food took some tracking down but, being supplied in great quality and quantity by the surrounding hills was possibly the best yet (only rivaled by Bangladesh). And always being supplied with serious bargain jugs of draught beer and local cigars helped sway our judgment.
Possibly the world's slowest train took us up into the hills, ascending with a kind of seesawing action (first reversing, second reversing etc) and off northeast over the mighty Gokteik Gorge to Hsipaw. The 19th century tender for the viaduct was won by the Pennsylvania Steel Company, making it the only American bridge in British India (as it was then). Whilst spectacular with waterfalls plunging into the jungle below, no photography is allowed from any 'structural engineering' (unfortunately enforced by army officers on the train).
Hsipaw is a pleasant place. With little tourism, candle, popcorn (fire + pressure cooker = big explosion), longyi and rum 'factories' were found with difficulty. Pyin Oo Lwin, city of flowers, is a small town on the return road to Mandalay, and possibly the richest in colonial architecture; transport is by peculiar mini western/Pickwickian stagecoach. Although the Botanical Gardens were first class, a predominantly Islamic population combined with Ramadan meant little daytime food and very little cold beer.
There is currently much discussion as to whether foreigners should visit a country with an oppressive, non-democratic, militant regime. There is no doubt, however, that with no free press, the international visitor can help to educate the world as to what's going on. The key thing is not to buy any sort of tourpackage, however non-government owned it appears to be. With such pleasant people it's easy to simply arrive and independently travel around, choosing and making decisions as to who gains from your Kyat as you go. Ordinary Burmese citizens can now directly benefit from visitors as the government relaxes its grip on the tourist industry: you are no longer enforced to swap your dollar for the Foreign Exchange Certificates on arrival.
Finding our way back to Mandalay via pick-up and pineapple bus, we took the only option remaining to us by returning the way we had arrived in order to get back into northern Thailand at Mae Sai. Our side excursion to the Golden Land was over, but with probably the finest scenery and food and the friendliest people yet, we'll be back.
Jaded Eyes and Ruby Nose
All food very, very good. Myanmar is one of those places which grows everything, with a huge range of regional specialities. Oil is very popular. Pork or tofu with bean paste and sun-dried chillies was probably the best in the Shan State, whilst fresh lemons, oranges and bunches of lemon leaves were found with the curries in the flat, hot and dry Mandalay Division. Dried, pickled cabbage soup (with tiny, shockingly powerful green chillies) was regularly dished up in draught beer pubs, as was plates of whole, crunchy, deep fried chicks (ooh).

It keeps getting better and better.
what is she reading?? Danielle Steele's autobiography?
Love the Smart water she's carrying…
She's so gross. Can we start a campaign to ignore her? I love gossip and Paris and Boobney and all kinds of things in Hollywood but this chick seriously needs to be ignored.
She's not stylish, she's not interesting, and she isn't doing anything that any cuter, wealthier, and more intelligent leach can't do better.
I thought the thong hanging out trend was over. Please…make it be over.
She's reading Jane Fonda's autobiography — so she must be one smart gal. Then again, she could be just holding it for show. I went through four years of college carrying James Joyce's Ulysses just to impress the English major babes, but never actually read it (except for the cool sex scene at the end).
Why are her pants that big? What is going on?
its the jane fonda biography shes carrying
(double puke)
Maybe it's the quality of the shot, but I count only 4 toes on that right foot.
God help us! Yet another blonde bimbo! Who makers these morons popular? Remember when her pal Paris the Skank lost her cell phone, and everything was posted on the internet? Kimberly Stewart's email address was sexystewart@(something or other) Not that she is in love with herself (like Paris) or anything.
she is a post op transexual.
Yuck. Is she 40? I'm surprised the pap. would even bother to photo her and shit.
Down here in the South we'd say she looks like she
on that meth diet.
Now look at the pic again, but imagine she's coming out the door of a double wide.
Told ya….
lol jules!! i could totally picture her kicking it in the trailer park.
HAHA~ yikes!! Along with the sunken in teeth and jaw~ nice call Jules!
Does anyone have any good dish on Kimberly and Wes (Puddle of Mudd)?? I think they both suck and belong in rehab together.
OMG, I found the "back-side" of this picture on another site…GOOD GOD.
kimberly stuart is so AWESOME! i love her so much! she is the prettiest person in hollywood! she makes paris look like the gum on my shoe! SHE MAKES A DOGS ASS LOOK LIKE BEYONCE! dont hate on her bitches, we know you wanna be like her
I think she has webbed feet.
ur rite she sooo trailer trash
I cant believe Paris would hang out with this tart
mb its just to annoy Nicole
I seen here in a bikini. WOW she is like a poster child for Ethiopia. This is really quite sad. I wish these young sluts would just eat something.
you guys are honestly haters… just like paris ,kimberly is definetly not any different. So the ones who just keep on talking shit JUST REMEMBER,every woman in hollywood is a twig. Plus a lot of teen chicks who are into hollister and abercrombie r too. She's no different.So stop and think for a second…… is that not true??
she is a very beatiful women too.
how old is kimberly stewart.
does she have a e-mail list too.
No one has mentioned the fact that Kimberly looks like a 50 year old woman.
She is UGLY, UGLY, UGLY!!!! And more UGLY!!!! Howard Stern was talking about how ugly she is on his show one day…..it was so funny, and true.
god she's so ugly i dont know y she thinks she hot cOZ she anit im not jealous of her got no reason too but to be honest she is ugly even paris is hotter then her she's just got one of those face's u could slap hope she anit replacein nicole on the simple life SHE'S UGLY
i think she should eat a sandwich. maybe her clothes would fit better… i don't hate her, btw. in fact, i'd like to help her. call UNICEF. feed the hungry, i always say.
Dude, with Rod Stewart's genes she was doomed from the very beginning…

Benefit package: DTCO 2.0a plus DTCO SmartLink
Apr 23, 2013
- VDO launches its sales campaign for its current tachograph products
- Focus on truck fleet efficiency
Villingen-Schwenningen/Germany. "Go for the DTCO with SmartLink" is the slogan bannering the launch of this year's VDO Europe-wide sales campaign aimed at commercial vehicle drivers and fleet managers. Anyone opting for a new DTCO and the DTCO SmartLink from VDO before May 31, 2013, will get them at an attractive benefit package and can start to optimize their day-to-day fleet management right away.
"Our products go a long way to improving fleet management for trucks and, more specifically, make it even easier for drivers to organize their driving and rest times. The latest DTCO 2.0a version of the digital tachograph from VDO has a built-in counter function" said Dr. Michael Ruf, Head of Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket at Continental. VDO Counter shows truck drivers at a glance how much driving time they still have. While they rest, the DTCO 2.0a displays the remaining rest time and the next maximum driving time, while drivers can also display other information, such as total remaining driving time for the week, with a single click.
Besides VDO Counter, the DTCO 2.0a additionally offers a simplified download function and is easier to handle. Like its predecessor, the DTCO also takes into account the 1-minute rule that allows the legally authorized driving times to be exploited as efficiently as possible.
But VDO Counter can really be used to full advantage in combination with DTCO SmartLink, as this allows drivers to display their driving and rest times in easy-to-read graphic form on their smartphones. All they have to do is plug DTCO SmartLink into the slot on the front of the tachograph and link up to the VDO driver app via Bluetooth. Besides displaying the driving and rest times, drivers can also use their smartphones as a remote control for the digital tachograph – a function that is actually available from the R1.3 series upward. The remote control has a scope of up to 15 meters, allowing drivers to check their driving and rest times even outside the cab. Another advantage of the DTCO SmartLink concerns the manual updating of driver data – now, this can be done simply via the driver's smartphone.
The requisite VDO app is available for smartphones running on Android free of charge; a similar app for iPhones is to follow at a later date. With this attractive package consisting of the DTCO 2.0a and DTCO SmartLink, fleet managers and truck drivers alike can get the very most out of valuable driving times and take advantage of the tachograph control via smartphone.

Ripoff Report
Sigma Software Solutions (Inventek)5405 NW 102nd Ave., Suite 208 Sunrise, Florida USA
Sigma Software Solutions (Inventek) Jimmy Marulanda Ripped me off in Sunrise Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was ripped off by Sigma Software Solutions Point of Sale System also known as Inventek Software. I purchased one of their systems off eBay last year that was labeled as 'Manufacturer Refurbished' and received a ten plus year old 'Seller Refurbished' machine. This is the machine they sent me:
For the record, here is my order information:
Purchase Date: 9/7/2013
Ordered From: eBay. [continued below]....
The seller now lists the item as 'Seller Refurbished' after I complained. Below is a screenshot from the old listing when I purchased it. Under condition the product was labeled as 'Manufacturer Refurbished' which clearly it was not from the photo of the Dell Tower above.
Here is my correspondence via email where Sigma Software Solutions admitted their 'mistake'. If you're running an eBay business you should know how to list your items. I'm sure if I didn't complain to eBay, the POS system would still be labeled as 'Manufacturer Refurbished'
I complained that the machine was mislabeled and wanted a refund. Sigma Software Solutions responded that they would exchange the computer but not issue a refund. I called Jamie Marulanda at Sigma Software Solutions @ 954-449-6093 to get a refund and was screamed at on the phone that they do not issue refunds. They offered to send another machine which was not received for almost 45 days (I live in Hawaii and he sent it Parcel Post which takes a long time). This machine was broken, it turned on and said 'Orlando Regional Healthcare' and had no Point of Sale software installed on it. It did have information about hospital patients. I asked for a refund and was told they won't offer a refund because it was more than 60 days since the original order was placed.
I'm sure they sent the broken computer to me to make sure I was out of the warranty period so they wouldn't refund me and both eBay and Paypal wouldn't issue me a refund.
I sent the machine back to Sigma Software Solutions and am told they did not receive my machine. The post office confirms it was delivered to this address: 5405 NW 102 Ave Bay #208 in Sunrise, FL 33351. I've spoken numerous times by email and phone to Jamie Marulanda at Sigma Software Solutions who keeps claiming they never received it and there's nothing he can do.
The seller misrepresented the product on eBay, replaced it with a broken machine, and refused to issue a refund. He also says it is a BBB accredited business on his eBay ad.
I looked up his business in the BBB directory and found that it is not accredited. http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/point-of-sale-systems/sigma-software-solutions-in-sunrise-fl-90061512 . But, in his eBay ad Sigma Software Solutions has the BBB accredited image which is just plain fraudulent.
I just want a refund for this system that was mislabeled as 'Manufacturer Refurbished'. The seller is a thief and I suggest that if you are in the POS market that you avoid Sigma Software Solutions like the plague. They are a SCAM!
My attorney is in the process of retrieving my money back. They seem to be skilled at dodging services.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 06/09/2014 07:51 PM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/sigma-software-solutions-inventek/sunrise-florida-33351/sigma-software-solutions-inventek-jimmy-marulanda-ripped-me-off-in-sunrise-florida-1153422.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
The truth
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 18, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Given the false nature of the claims stated, I will spend the time to ensure that the truth is told so that readers can understand that just because someone writes a bad review, does not make it true. Many times, objectivity is lost by the emotions of an individual. This is amplified by the fact that most people do not want to take accountability for their own mistakes.
Patricia Brissett purchased an Entry Level Point of Sale system for 399.99 from our Ebay store. This system is a low margin – high rotation item that we sell to provide small businesses with the opportunity to use technology as a tool for decision making. It is low priced and the computers and monitors that we use are refurbished. Therefore, scratches and blemishes that DO NOT have an effect on the operation of the machine are common.
On 11/12/2013, we received the sale. We promptly shipped. On 11/21 of the same year, Patricia placed positive feedback indicating that the system worked great. See the feedback below:
Shortly thereafter, the customer called and complained that the computer was too scratched up and wanted another machine. She also mentioned that we stated that our listing said it was Manufacturer Refurnished. This is in fact the case and we DO hold the right to state that the POINT OF SALE system is Manufacturer Refurbished as we are the manufacturers of the Point of Sale Software System and require the need to re-key licenses and components on the refurbishing process. Nevertheless, the idea was to make the customer happy so I acknowledged that she may have confused a manufacturer refurbished Point of Sale System with a manufacturer refurbished computer, which is not the same thing. I edited my listed to avoid any future confusion although I maintain that I do have a legal right to call it manufacturer refurbished because we manufacture the system as a whole, not necessarily individual components.
We sent her a replacement computer and I provided pictures of that computer prior to sending it to ensure that she would be happy with it visually. She approved it and we sent the system out. Funny how she did not mention this in her complaint nor posted the pictures of that machine. She received the machine and used it for a while. Once her warranty and return period expired, she wanted to return the system. At this point, I did not grant the return as her warranty and return period clearly expired. Take into account that both were extended upon the replacement being sent. However, she still went over said period.
She then attempted to place a credit card dispute with her credit card company, Ebay and with PayPal. Both asked me for all pertinent information and SHE LOST ALL CLAIMS. This is because all the fore mentioned are objective parties that take into account the entirety of the information before making a concluding judgment. Note that credit card companies almost always defend the Buyers. Her claim was so off-base that even the credit card company did not back her up.
She then claims that she sent the merchandise back. She did not insure the package nor pay the extra dollar for signature confirmation. Although she claims that we received it, we in fact never received the merchandise back. However, she still wanted us to return her funds. Out of principal and because of how abusive she was to me and my employees, we will not refund anything. How can I refund monies for merchandise that was never received, past the return period, and not issued a return authorization? When I asked her for proof of delivery, she said she would have a signed affidavit sent by the United States Postal Service (USPS), which we never received. We told her that she needed to process a claim with USPS if the case was that she did in fact sent it.
After fifteen years in business, Patricia Bissett has been the most irrational, verbally abusive, and irresponsible customer that I have ever had to deal with. Her lack of accountability on not insuring a package to save a few dollars caused most of this issue. We cannot be held accountable for merchandise that is never received. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that we receive the packaged and customers are warned of this when returning items.
The fact is that we have a very good reputation. If you look at our history, our track record speaks for itself. It is VERY difficult for sellers to maintain high compliancy and high positive feedback on complex items such as point of sale systems. However, year in and year out, we continue to do so. You can see our feedback record along with some examples below:
If I were in fact a thief as falsely claimed, there is NO way that I would have such a great record. More complaints and more issues would be filed if this was the case. This is just an isolated case of a disgruntled customer with a lack of responsibility and accountability for her own actions.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
Advertisers above have met our
strict standards for business conduct.

4L60E - 2 Questions With Pics
I replaced the sun shell on my 98 silverado. While puting the trany back together I noticed a couple of wierd things, so I thought I would ask all you experts out there before I put the trany back in the truck.
Question #1:
While puting the valve body back together, I depressed each valve with my finger to make sure they were all working ok, when I noticed one of them did not spring back. I took that valve out to see what the problem was, and I realized the assembly was too short for the valve bore. It was just two parts and a spring kinda sliding around loose in there, with a plug cliped to the end. Here is a pic of the parts I took out of the bore:
I looked up the valve in the ATSG guide, and my parts were not the same. It said it was the "converter clutch signal valve". Here is a pic:
Gary showed me a thread where a guy was taking apart his 4L60E, so I went to go see what his valve looked like. His valve did not match mine, or the ATSG manual. Here is a pic of his valve:
So what does all this mean? Is this valve nessissary? What should I do? The trany ran fine before the sun shell broke...
Question #2:
While cleaning up the trany, I noticed a valve thingamajig that looked like maybe it fell out of alignment. Here is the location of the "valve thingamajig":
Here is a close up of it:
It's kinda hard to see, but there is a little plate in there with an off-center hole in it, and a depressable "valve thingamajig" below it. Is this the way it was designed? I just want to make sure because I would HATE to have to rip this trany out again!

Man and Dolphin
by John Cunningham Lilly
Work details
Man and Dolphin by John Cunningham Lilly
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A great scientific look into dolphins by an eccentric LSD-using biologist.
A fascinating book about experiments to teach dolphins to communicate with human beings. I used this for an 11th-grade English paper, and it led me to a fascination with the idea of cetacean intelligence. Lilly makes a strong case for their intelligence, but to my knowledge his endeavors never led to true interspecies communication.

Cool TV Cars
Some are easy, some aren't. Some shows have more than one car here. On some pics I removed telltale markings or words, and not all cars are the exact model from the show, but the closest thing I could find.
Many of these are from 70s' shows, so you youngun's may have more trouble than us old folks.
Magnum P.I. (Ferrari 308 GTSi)
The Munsters ("Drag-u-la")
A custom car created by the legendary George Barris.
The Partridge Family
Vega$ ('57 Ford T-bird convertible)
Happy Days (Ralph Malph's hot rod, a modified '29 Ford Roadster pickup)
The Rockford Files ('77 Pontiac Firebird)
Speed Racer (the powerful -- and fictional -- Mach 5)
Starsky & Hutch ('76 Ford Gran Torino, nicknamed the "Striped Tomato")
Batman (Batmobile)
Another George Barris original, created from a '55 Lincoln Futura, a concept car that was never produced.
Mork & Mindy ('78 Jeep Wrangler)
The Monkees (Monkeemobile)
The Monkeemobile is a '66 Pontiac GTO customized by Dean Jeffries, who also worked with George Barris on the Batmobile. Note the similarities between the two cars.
Kojak ('75 Buick Regal sedan)
The Andy Griffith Show (Ford Galaxy)
The Munsters (The Munsterkoach)
Another masterpiece by George Barris, this 18-ft-long beast was made from three Model T bodies.
Nash Bridges ('71 Plymouth Barracuda - I want this car)
Miami Vice ('86 Ferrari Testarossa)
Mannix (Roadster)
The Roadster was another George Barris custom car, based on an Oldsmobile Toronado convertible.
The Fall Guy ('81 or '82 GMC Sierra)
The Brady Bunch ('71 Plymouth Barracuda)
Mike Brady drove this car in Season 3. Nash Bridges drove the same model and year.
Get Smart ('65 Sunbeam Tiger - Seasons 1-2)
Hawaii Five-O ('68 Mercury Parklane)
The Beverly Hillbillies ('21 Olds flatbed truck)
The A-Team ('83 GMC van)
The Brady Bunch ('71 Plymouth Satellite Wagon)
Not the actual one, obviously, but the closest I could find. I had the wrong one pictured earlier.
Columbo ('59 Peugeot 403 Grande Luxe Cabriolet convertible)
CHiPs (Kawasaki motorcycles)
Wonderbug (fictional dune buggy made from various junk cars)
The Dukes of Hazzard (The General Lee)
The General Lee was a '69 Dodge Charger.
Get Smart ('69 Opel GT - Season 5)
Miami Vice (Ferrari Daytona Spyder)
The Green Hornet (Black Beauty)
The Black Beauty was a custom car created by Dean Jeffries from a '66 Chrysler Crown Imperial.
Viper (Dodge Viper)
Baywatch (Nissan hardbody truck)
Charlie's Angels (Jill's Ford Cobra)
Thunderbirds (The FAB-1, a modified Rolls Royce)
The Brady Bunch ('69 Plymouth Fury)
Mike Brady's car in Seasons 1-2.

The Fall Guy ('81 or '82 GMC Sierra) shot is a plastic model! No matter, a great trip down memory lane.

I owned a Mustang II Cobra - fun to drive, cheap to own. That picture brings back a lot of good memories.ReplyDelete
Lady Penelope's FAB-1, from the Gerry Anderson puppet series "Thunderbirds," isn't, strictly speaking, a "modified Rolls Royce." Supposedly a Rolls-Royce of the future, it's an entirely fictitious vehicle that exists only in model form. The pink, six-wheeled, bubble-topped wonder was driven by Lady Penelope's dutiful and resourceful chauffeur, Parker. And, BTW, Lady Penelope was a pretty sexy babe -- for a puppet!ReplyDelete

He has worked with a long list of famed directors, and counts legendary filmmakers Hal Ashby, William Friedkin, and Francis Coppola as his mentors.

[Group Picture of some Bedoon top students by Manal Al-Hazzaa]
After a long sit-in organized by Group29, the group made a statement thanking the education ministry for enrolling 100 Bedoon top students in Kuwait University. The group, however, said that they demand 400 seats (5% of the university's seats) and to allow those who do not carry the agency's IDs to be allowed to be registered. Two days ago, the group organized a celebration for Bedoon top students since they were excluded from the education ministry's celebration on discriminatory basis.

The Anderson County Historical Society will meet March 22 at 7 p.m. at the Anderson Public Library.
This month's speaker, Victor Brown, will present a program titled "Berea College and Segregation in Kentucky."
Admission is free.
The Anderson Public Library's board of trustees will meet March 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the library for its monthly meeting.
The board of trustees includes Amy Kennedy, Bryan Proctor, Jane Scott Bentley, Martha McNaghten and Katie Hutton.
Sports and business have plenty in common at the professional level.
They'll now have something in common at the local youth level, too, thanks to a decision last week by the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce to donate some of the proceeds it receives from its upcoming Business Expo to purchase athletic equipment for the county park.
The chamber will donate the funds it receives for each booth over 110 that register for the event, according to event chairman John Rennels.
One of Anderson County's most scenic wonders could soon be declared an illegal dump.
The gravel portion of Wildcat Road, which connects Stringtown to Tyrone, has been inundated over the past several weeks with old mattresses, furniture, TV sets and even a hot tub, not to mention a small mountain of household trash.
That has 1st District Magistrate David Ruggles fuming, and could lead the Anderson County Fiscal Court to consider closing it to through traffic.
A Lawrenceburg man is scheduled to be arraigned next Tuesday in Anderson Circuit Court on incest charges dating back to the mid 1990s, according to documents on file in Anderson Circuit Court.
Jeffrey Wolverton, 50, of 309 Main St. is charged with four counts of incest from allegations in 1994 and 1995, according to court documents.
Wolverton was originally arraigned in Anderson District Court, but those charges were later sent to Anderson Circuit Court.
A Lawrenceburg man indicted for allegedly selling oxycodone to a 16-year-old girl will be arraigned next Tuesday in Anderson Circuit Court at 9 a.m.
John Wolverton, 29, of 4107 Citation Lane was indicted last month on charges including first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor; first-degree trafficking of opiates; trafficking marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to documents on file in Anderson Circuit Court.
In his report, Lawrenceburg police officer Jeremy Cornish wrote that Wolverton admitted selling oxycodone to the teen.
With what appeared to be a self-inflicted bullet hole just above his left temple and wearing a hospital gown and handcuffs, the man indicted for shooting his wife to death was charged with murder last Thursday night.
Timothy Lee Branson, 48, of 1600 Ballard Road was taken from his hospital bed at the University of Kentucky Medical Center to the Kentucky State Police barracks in Frankfort to be charged with murder and two counts of wanton endangerment.
Branson allegedly shot his wife, Modena Branson, 50, during a March 5 domestic dispute, according to police reports.
Consumers may be ask "where's the beef?" more often after reports surfaced about the use of the meat filler dubbed "pink slime," and its connections to ground beef served and purchased in restaurants, grocery stores and even school lunches.
Following last week's report by ABC News, reports stated that the USDA plans to purchase 7 million pounds of the meat filler known as "pink slime" from vendor Beef Products Inc. to mix with ground meat shipped through the national school lunch program.
The madness is not limited to March. Never has been.
And it certainly was not 44 years ago when Anderson County's two junior high teams met on the basketball court.
That's right, two.
Western and Anderson Junior High.
And Western won. Both times.
Beating what was expected to be a junior high powerhouse might have been the highlight of a stellar season for first-year coach Gary Stinnett.
"I should have quit coaching then," Stinnett says with a laugh.
ESPN qualifier set for Wild Turkey Trace

At The Worlds EndMature
Being forced to move to a secret Government base, sixteen year old Ana-Lyn or Ana, thought her life was over. Till she meet Ryder. Both of them hating the world they where now forced to live in, they try to make the best of it. But, when they find out a terrible secret, they must make choices that go against family, and morals.
Ana stood in front of her closet and sighed. It was empty, her cloths packed away neatly in boxes, ready to be loaded into the car. Like her, they would soon find themselves on a Government base for nuclear scientist and their family. She had to give up everything because of her parents work.
She had to cut ties with friends, her boyfriend, which wasn't that bad but still. She turned on the heel of her shoes, and grabbed the last box markedAna's stuff- KEEP OUT.She smiled and tucked it under her arm. She quickly glanced around her room once more and shut the door. She trembled down the stairs, like she did every morning before school and went outside.
She found her parents talking quietly to the movers, who would take the boxes and tables to Maine, from there the base would be taking the truck the rest of the way. While all of that was happening, her family would meet the other families, six others, at the airport and ride on a privet jet to the base.
"Ana, dear. Come bring your box and put in the truck so these fine fleas can leave." She rolled her eyes and studied the smiling movers. Her dad was so dumb.
She placed the box neatly towards the front, and closed the back of the movers truck closed. With bite of her cheek, she got in the back of the car. Buckling herself in, she thought of the memories she had in this house. Learning how to ride her first bike right in this driveway, her first kiss at thirteen on that very porch, her Dad (for once acting the part) giving a very stein lecture about his daughters 'rights' to her homecoming date. She smiled and pulled out her Ipod. She turned on her play list tiled " Slow Country Songs" and listened as Taylor Swift talked about her mom. At that moment, her mothers loud voice disturbed her quietness.
"Ana, you ready?" She questioned, a hint of nervures in her voice.
"Sure." Ana said, lying. She did not want to go and her mother knew that.
"You know, there is a boy your age at the base. His name is Ryder. His parents are good friends of ours. You know you are named after his mother..Ana-Marie..oh shes such a nice women, is she Lawrence?" She fell into sleeps gentle arms as her parents talked about people who she would she who soon be forced to live with, against her will.

Open Forum: The Democrats and their scare tactics
For 50 years we have listened to the Democrats saying "If you vote for the Republicans they will take your Social Security away." It's a scare tactic to make sure you vote Democrat.
We must, for future generations, revise/change our current system Privatizing Social Security, as proposed by the Republicans, will work. It will not affect those on S.S. or those now 55 years old.
Consider Galveston County Texas. In l981 county employees opted out of S.S. Employees and employers continued to pay the same amount into a private fund
Today a retiring low income worker making $26,000 yearly. Receives $1,830 from the private fund — his S.S. payment would be $1,007. Nearly $10,000 more annually. A mid-income worker receives $3,600 from the Private fund, just $1,540 from S.S., or nearly $25,000 more per year. Upper-income workers receive $5-6,000 per month from the PRIVATE fund versus $2,500 from S.S. — or $30-40,000 more per year.
The "death benefit" under S.S. is $255. Under the private fund the benefit is four times your last salary up to $215,000.
Wisen up seniors. You've been duped by the Democrats for years. What would you do this year with an additional $10,000 or $20,000?
