Parker TV Repair Replaced defective TV fans with used fans Parker Colorado

Corporate Advocacy Program™
On 1/8/14 Parker TV Repair, in response to a Fan 1 error, replaced 2 fans and cleaned the TV. I noticed the "new" fans were very dirty with dust and mentioned that they were not new to the repairman. He continued with the repair using what I believe were used fans. They finished the repair and the TV worked fine. The next day I had a telephone conversation with the manager asking about the used fans and he offered to send me new fans. I declined and instead ask him to put a note in my file stating that used fans had been used and that I would contact him if I had any trouble with them. On 5/7/14 I had another fan error and called Parker TV Repair and asked them to order new fans to replace all of the fans (3) in the Samsung TV. They said they would. Having heard nothing back I followed up with them on 5/19/14 and was told they had not received the fans yet and would call me when they did. On June 6 I called again and got voice mail. I left a message which has not been returned. I called again leaving another message saying I was at a loss as to what to do and asked them if they thought I should contact the BBB or possibly Tom Martino. Still no response as of this day, 8/13/14. Their total bill was $290.40, $130.00 of which was for the fans.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My experience with this company has been a nightmare. The product that I ordered was photography software that I downloaded from the website. The program did not work properly when I first purchased it, so I contacted the company and asked for a refund. I got very upset when I finally reached a person, because she told me that there was nothing they could do about this situation and that they would not refund my money or try to fix the software.
We got into a heated argument, during which the agent insulted myself and even my family. I was blown away at the horrible language that she and her supervisor used while speaking to me. They began to ignore my emails unitl I threatened to call the BBB and report them. They then offered me a free upgrade to the Video Magic Pro. [continued below]....
The upgrade software has since stopped working, just as the original software did. They also placed two erroneous $4.95 charges on my card over a year after I made this purchase, hoping that I would not notice. My husband called them to report the problem with the upgrade and this time, they insulted him as well. They told him that they never gave us an upgrade and that they refunded me the first time that I complained. This is a lie!
They told my husband that his wife (me) was lying to him about not getting a refund! They are ignoring my attempts to reach them by phone and email. I have since purchased green screen software from a more reputable and respectful company. Now I must go to any length to get my money back from these horrible scam artists. Do not trust 123 VideoMagic!!!!!!!!!!!

Glue for Drywall?
What is the best adhesive to use when attaching drywall to studs? Liquid Nails?
Any construction adhesive will work.
Based on the application, we just use paneling adhesive, when it is called for.
why are you using glue to hold drywall to studs... the only instance you would really need to glue drywall to
something is attaching to concrete which you still shouldn't do...
also if you glue it and for some reason it gets damaged. When you to remove the old drywall you will have to sit there scraping it off the studs or replace the studs...
Is it necessary? Not really.
Is it done in the industry? Yes...once in a while per directive.
Has it even been listed per installation instructions on blue prints? Yes is has.
Is it overkill? Yes, but again, it is their choice.
I agree with the idea that it significantly reinforces the wall, particularly a partition wall that may be subjected to unpredictable kids horsing around,
not that we ever did eh?
FWIW: We have installed sheetrock for over 22 years, with never a call-back for any issues. That includes NEVER using adhesives. We have installed sheetrock in: Schools, public offices, State and Town buildings, hospitals, residential homes, apartments, major manufacturer's offices, basically: you name it, we have done it. All the way up to 20'+ walls with top deck deflection steel-track.
Adhesives were not called for, nor obviously needed.
Now...on the other hand: Am I against "over-kill" when it is a small extra cost? no.
Am I against over building, when it is within cost-reason...absolutely not.
But to suggest that it should be something that should be installed in every project or something to consider as a mandatory installation procedure...ummmm, no...
I used liquid nails on drywall once to attach it to a wall of plaster over masonary and that was about ten years ago with no problems. There was a crack in the plaster that kept opening up dispite my repeated repairs. The drywall addition was the final solution.
Are you not using a vapor barrier?? Unless you are talking interior walls. I would not bother with liquid nails. Just more cost with no benefits. Screw the drywall correctly and you will have no problems with anything. I will fly from Madison Wis. to repair if you have any problems....without the liquid nails.......kidding but not really....have fun....
On a house I sold built in '73. Drywall was nailed and glued. Each 4x8 had one nail in each stud on the edges of the sheet, and one in the middle. The glue held up great...BUT the paper let go of the drywall. Any place in the house, you could push the drywall back to the stud. So if you glue, it DOES NOT supersede the fastener requirements. I've never glued any DW, and doubt I will, nail pops are not a problem either...set your fasteners correctly and you'll be fine. I don't see the benefits, especially if the sheets are fastened correctly.

Creation program set at Calvary
Calvary Presbyterian Church invites the community to a free weekend program, "Beginnings: What Genesis Says (And Doesn't Say)," on Saturday, April 20, and Sunday, April 21, in the church's sanctuary, Seventh and Church streets.
The Rev. Dr. Steven Tuell, the James A. Kelso Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, will lead this weekend of exploration. Tuell will explain how the Bible's Book of Genesis, 1-2, presents not one creation account, but two, which differ markedly from one another in order, style and conception of God and the world. These two accounts force Christians to ask new questions: What are these stories about? What is the effect of their combination? What are their implications for the relationship between science and faith?
The program begins on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. with registration, coffee and donuts. At 9:30 a.m., Tuell will present "Which Creation?" followed by the 10:45 a.m. session, "An Ordered World: Genesis 1:1-2:4a." A free lunch will be offered at noon.
Saturday afternoon's session start at 1:30 p.m. with "The Drama of Relationship: Genesis 2:4b-25," concluding with "Putting It Back Together: What Does Genesis 1-2 Mean?" Participants are urged to bring a Bibles with them to the program, and to read Genesis 1-2 in a variety of translations — including the New Revised Standard Version — before attending the sessions. On Sunday, Tuell continues to be Calvary's guest, presenting the 9:30 a.m. class "Interpretation of Scripture." He will give the sermon "How Would Jesus Read?" during the 11 a.m. service.
Tuell received his Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible from Union Theological Seminary. He is the author of numerous books and articles and is a frequent contributor to the United Methodist Publishing House Adult Bible series. His most recent book is a commentary on Ezekiel, and he currently is working on a commentary on Nahum through Malachi.
All presentations are free and open to the public, but reservations for Saturday's lunch must be made by Monday, April 15, at noon, by calling the church office at (724) 463-9197.
The event is supported by a "Scientists in Congregations" grant to Calvary Presbyterian Church from the John Templeton Foundation.

The Politics of Regulation,
Basic Books, New York, 1980.
Find the bookUniversity of Haifa's Library
James Wilson's (the editor) Introduction:
These essays were written out of a common interest in discovering the relationship between private power and public purpose. This relation-ship is of special importance in a liberal regime such as that of the United States. Liberalism now means many things, but in the beginning it signified a commitment to liberty and, properly understood, it still refers at least to that. A liberal democracy erects, between the public and the private sectors, barriers that, though often porous and always changing, require the government to respect certain matters as private and to impose legal controls on private action only for publicly agreed- to purposes and in accordance with due process of law. That aspect of liberalism is well understood by conservatives.
By the same token, a liberal democracy can only formulate public purpose and protect constitutional procedures if the government itself is not the instrument of some private faction that seeks to use' public powers for narrow or self-seeking ends. No large government such as ours can hope to act only in accordance with the "will of the majority." The majority of citizens do not have a "will" on most political matters, and if they did-and could always insist on it-the resulting policies might be as tyrannical as those of a single despot. But if the majority cannot always rule, then it is important to make certain that narrow interests do not rule in their stead. This aspect of liberalism has been generally understood by liberals.
Finding arrangements that would permit a democratic republic to avoid rule by either impassioned majorities that were heedless of the barriers between public and private life or by self-seeking factions that ignored the distinctions between private and public power was the central problem confronting the Founders. James Madison and his colleagues were at pains to devise a constitutional order that would minimize the possibility of either kind of tyranny. Their solution, of course, was to make "ambition counteract ambition," so that the many factions found in a large nation, operating through a constitutional system that required the sharing of powers and the fragmentation of authority, would make it impossible for one faction to capture the government or for the government to dominate society. They hoped that policy would be enacted only by means of a "coalition of the majority" acting on the principles of "justice and the general good."
This system may have worked well during the century and a half of limited government when Washington was content to operate the post office, issue the currency, devise a tariff, distribute the public lands, and fight the Indians. From time to time some private interest group might dominate one or the other of these policy areas, but a government that did little was but little feared. Federal politics were essentially legislative politics, dominated by political parties and carried out more or less in an arena of clearly competing interests.
Today the federal government is active with respect to virtually the full range of human affairs; much of its power is exercised, and many of its purposes are defined, by a large bureaucratic apparatus. We are aware that the government affects almost every aspect of our lives; moreover, we worry that the agencies that have this effect operate, not in an arena of competing interests to which all affected parties have reasonable access, but in a shadowy world of powerful lobbyists, high- priced attorneys, and manipulative "experts." Many persons believe, in short, that ambition no longer counteracts ambition, but rather that the ambitions of bureaucrats are reinforced by the electoral needs of congressmen and the private claims of interest groups.
This concern is certainly shared by citizens who today complain of the "oil companies" or "the unions" or "the intellectuals" and their alleged grip on the reins of political power. The oft-remarked decline in popular confidence in government has been accompanied by-in-deed, it is in part measured by-a rise in the belief that government works for the benefit of a few large interests. Citizens disagree over the identity of those interests, but not over their power.
Younger, more critically disposed scholars and journalists have sharpened this fear of large interests by asserting that the political order will in large measure reflect underlying economic interests and by directing their inquiries to the discovery of exactly what these interests are and how they operate. Some write in a traditional Marxist perspective; others simply are restless with the formulation, suggested by some older scholars, that the United States is a pluralistic political system in which continuous bargaining among all relevant interests ensures the development of politically, if not philosophically, optimal policies.
The language of these critics has entered the everyday vocabulary of citizens and writers. One cannot mention regulatory agencies without adding the observation that, of course, such agencies are likely to be "captured" by the interests they are supposed to regulate. To suggest that matters are any different from this is to mark oneself as hopelessly naive, or even disingenuous.
If one believes that regulatory agencies are captured, one must explain why business firms so often complain of their decisions. One possibility is that business is lying-pretending to be hurt to disguise the benefits it receives. Another is that complaints are sincere, but they are addressed chiefly to the minutiae of regulatory irritants or to specific decisions affecting a single firm, and not to the pattern of industry protection created by the existence of competition-reducing regulations. Still another possibility is that different regulatory agencies have different effects: those that fix prices or control entry may confer advantages on an industry while those that enforce standards governing the quality of a product or the conditions of its manufacture may impose significant costs. Finally, business may be correct-it is hurt-but of course that leaves open the question of whether the hurts endured by industry are worth the benefits created for citizens.
But if the "capture" theory is correct-at least in some cases-it is unreasonable to assume that only business firms would be able to capture an agency. As government regulates more aspects of our lives, a greater variety of interests-occupations, professions, institutions, associations-acquire a stake in influencing the behavior of the regulatory agencies. If we assume that the airline companies will try to capture the Civil Aeronautics Board, it makes sense to assume that professors will try to capture the National Science Foundation, teachers to capture the Department of Education, environmentalists to capture the Council on Environmental Quality, and civil rights activists to capture the Office for Civil Rights. 'the plausibility of this assumption is sometimes obscured by calling agency-interest relations of which we approve "citizen participation" and agency-interest relations of which we disapprove "capture," but the issue is very much the same whatever rhetorical label we choose to employ.
If we accept the largest implications of the capture theory, we are forced to the unhappy conclusion that the more the government at-tempts to do, the more its various parts will fall under the control of specific and self-seeking groups in society. An activist government win become-at least under existing constitutional arrangements-a government of cartels and clients. That this has already occurred is one of the arguments of Theodore J. Lowi's influential book, The End of Liberalism. If he is right, then only two remedies are available. One, favored by liberals, is new constitutional or legislative devices that will allow the government to be both active and uncaptured (these proposals include "clear standards," "sunset laws," widened court review of agency decisions, and "consumer advocacy"). The second, favored by conservatives, is to have the government do less, thus leaving a greater variety of decisions to the market or to private lawsuits.
The empirical question is whether capture--or clientelism-has become so pervasive and so immune to change that either a very different, or a very much smaller, government is necessary. The essays in this book cannot give a full answer to that question, but they can shed light on agency-interest relations in a variety of important policy areas. It will not be giving away too much of the argument of these chapters to say that, when one examines matters closely, they appear to be a good deal more complicated than is assumed by either liberal or conservative critics of clientelism.
Many people find complexity dull: simple statements are easier to remember; dramatic arguments are more interesting to read. Persons who found the various Ralph Nader books on regulatory agencies memorable will be disappointed by what follows here. Naderite accounts of the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division are catalogs of real and imagined horror stories, written in the best muckraker tradition and useful precisely because they stimulated many people to take an interest in the shadowy but significant world of the regulatory bureaucracy. But if matters are left where Mr. Nader and his young colleagues left them, we acquire little more than a sense of an antinomian struggle between Good and Evil that can be resolved only by the advent of a new Savonarola who, by preaching and punishment, will, expunge the Devil.
This book is an effort to go beyond an account of the newsworthy scandal to an exposition of how various regulatory agencies ordinarily operate. People-and groups-are affected more by routine performance than by the occasional crisis. The behavior of the Antitrust Division cannot be inferred from what one believes did or did not happen in the ITT case during the Nixon administration any more than the behavior of state public utility commissions can be inferred from the fact that Samuel Insull, the utility magnate, was instrumental in their creation.
The agencies covered by this book were selected by no particular plan: at various times over the last several years, students of mine have expressed an interest in studying regulatory politics and they chose, on the basis of their own inclinations, what agency interested them. The results, however unintended, comprise a reasonably comprehensive selection of such agencies. There are some traditional rate-setting or entry-controlling agencies (the Federal Maritime Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board, and the state public utility commissions); there are also some major examples of the "new" product- or process-oriented agencies (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.) There are agencies that deal with only a few industries (the Food and Drug Administration) and agencies that deal with all industries (the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice.) And there is one study of an agency that regulates nonbusiness organizations-the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Some of these agencies have scarcely changed at all (the Federal Maritime Commission); others have changed greatly (the Civil Aeronautics Board).

Chapter 4: Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, Suzanne Weaver
The Antitrust Division of the United State Department of Justice is the nation's oldest example of a major federal effort to use the courts to regulate business activity. rather than relying on a commission or administrative agency to oversee some particular industry, Congress, in creating the division, sought to restrain certain business malpractices wherever they occurred by challenging them through the adversary system. Presumably, the industry-wide scope of the division and the involvement of the courts would minimize any tendency toward business "capture"; but, as we shall see, these methods created problems of their own.

Chapter 5: Federal Trade Commission, Robert A. Katzmann
Today, antitrust is once again in the public spotlight. In part, it thrives because the issues which it touches - the extent to which the state should regulate business, the nexus between corporate wealth and political influence, the effect of market concentration on economic problems - are still very much debated. Antitrust is a banner under which many march but fro quite different reasons: politicians grappling with inflation; consumer groups convinced that large manufacturers charge supra-normal prices; populists fearful that corporate giants corrupt the political process; businessmen threatened by the anticompetitive behavior of others; private attorneys dependent on antitrust practice as a source of income; and economists concerned with the welfare costs of monopoly and the estimated consumer gains from its elimination.
Whatever their policy objectives may be - social, political, economic - these sundry groups closely monitor the activities of those public agencies that largely set antitrust policy. This study endeavors to examine the ways in which one such agency, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), selects cases for antitrust action.

Chapter 6: Food and Drug Administration, Paul J. Quirck
This chapter examines the response of the federal government to the problems of drug safety and efficacy. It will consider first the legislative origins of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate drugs and the terms of that authority. A second section describes various influences on the FDA's behavior and the resulting pattern of its decisions. In the third section, the effects of FDA regulation are discussed. Finally there is a brief consideration of possibilities and prospects for drug regulatory reform.
Through out the chapter there is a persistent theme: The political circumstances of prescription drug regulation have shaped - and continue to maintain - an inefficient basic statutory structure. Consequently, no matter how skillfully the FDA uses its authority, it provides inadequate consumer protection while imposing excessive burdens on the development of valuable drugs.

Chapter 8: Environmental Protection Agency, Alfred Markus
Even more important than these organizational arrangements were the provisions of the new statutes. Congress sought to reduce the risk that the agency would abuse its discretionary authority by placing sharp limits on that authority. The EPA was required to achieve specific air and water quality goals within a fixed - and short - period of time.
The contrast with older regulatory agencies is clear. The FTC does not have an explicit deadline to eliminate unfair methods of competition, nor is that goal given a clear definition. The Antitrust Division of the Justice Department was not give a timetable t end combinations in restraint of trade, nor was it provided with any legislative determination of what that objectives requires. In contrast, the EPA has been delegated clear goals and given specific timetables to achieve them. The creation of an agency with statutes possessing these attributes was an experiment in regulatory reform that has been called for many times by scholars who criticized the vague language of the older regulatory statutes.
The creation of agency with these attributes tests the theory that the bureaucracy needs clear instructions from Congress to eliminate sloth and to avoid "capture". This chapter aims to offer an account of this experiment.

Our last stop has been Gatlinburg, TN. We enjoyed our visit to the Dixie Stampede and Dollywood. Jim looked all over the place, high and low but never saw Dolly! We ran into the Compton's from Lexington who happened to be here too. We enjoyed having dinner together with Ben, Suzanne, Charlie and Nancy. It was nice to have friends to enjoy a meal with again.
It will be wonderful to be back in South Carolina even though there will be lots of changes from ...
The adventure begins
... the 25th year of the German reunification (1989). They were expecting thousands of people in Frankfurt and we actually ( on Saturday night) watched the major event on the TV. Dinner was at a very small local eatery where we had pork and potatoes ( of course) and wine. We sat at long wooden table with benches..family style. A neighborhood German place full of locals and fun to experience. We returned "home" and settled down for the night.

The House on the Borderland HTML version
1. The Finding Of The Manuscript
RIGHT AWAY in the west of Ireland lies a tiny hamlet called Kraighten. It is situated,
alone, at the base of a low hill. Far around there spreads a waste of bleak and totally
inhospitable country; where, here and there at great intervals, one may come upon the
ruins of some long desolate cottage--unthatched and stark. The whole land is bare and
unpeopled, the very earth scarcely covering the rock that lies beneath it, and with which
the country abounds, in places rising out of the soil in wave-shaped ridges. Yet, in spite
of its desolation, my friend Tonnison and I had elected to spend our vacation there. He
had stumbled on the place, by mere chance, the year previously, during the course of a
long walking tour, and discovered the possibilities for the angler, in a small and unnamed
river that runs past the outskirts of the little village.
I have said that the river is without name; I may add that no map that I have hitherto
consulted has shown either village or stream. They seem to have entirely escaped
observation: indeed, they might never exist for all that the average guide tells one.
Possibly, this can be partly accounted for by the fact that the nearest railway-station
(Ardrahan) is some forty miles distant.
It was early one warm evening when my friend and I arrived in Kraighten. We had
reached Ardrahan the previous night, sleeping there in rooms hired at the village post-
office, and leaving in good time on the following morning, clinging insecurely to one of
the typical jaunting cars.
It had taken us all day to accomplish our journey over some of the roughest tracks
imaginable, with the result that we were thoroughly tired and somewhat bad tempered.
However, the tent had to be erected, and our goods stowed away, before we could think
of food or rest. And so we set to work, with the aid of our driver, and soon had the tent
up, upon a small patch of ground just outside the little village, and quite near to the river.
Then, having stored all our belongings, we dismissed the driver, as he had to make his
way back as speedily as possible, and told him to come across to us at the end of a
fortnight. We had brought sufficient provisions to last us for that space of time, and water
we could get from the stream. Fuel we did not need, as we had included a small oil-stove
among our outfit, and the weather was fine and warm.
It was Tonnison's idea to camp out instead of getting lodgings in one of the cottages. As
he put it, there was no joke in sleeping in a room with a numerous family of healthy Irish
in one corner, and the pig-sty in the other, while over-head a ragged colony of roosting
fowls distributed their blessings impartially, and the whole place so full of peat smoke
that it made a fellow sneeze his head off just to put it inside the doorway.
Tonnison had got the stove lit now, and was busy cutting slices of bacon into the frying-
pan; so I took the kettle and walked down to the river for water. On the way, I had to pass

Academic credit: Each semester allows about fifteen weeks of instruction and provides one full semester of academic credit. Duke University provides an official Duke transcript of work completed satisfactorily. Students normally receive 4 or 5 course credits (equivalent to 16 to 20 semester hours or 24 to 30 quarter units). The Ancient City course carries two course credits. All other courses offer one course credit.
Final assignment of credit is the responsibility of the student's home college or university. The reporting of courses and grades and the extent of the materials and periods covered in the ICCS curriculum have been entirely acceptable to students' home colleges and universities.
Courses: The curriculum is structured differently from that in many American colleges and universities. Students are expected to take four courses, which is a minimum and normal load; a few students take five courses. A major part of the academic work is a required comprehensive and integrated course called The Ancient City. It is a two-credit course which requires as much class and study time as two semester courses. It covers Roman archaeology and topography, aspects of social and urban history of Rome, and Roman civilization. Frequent site visits and explorations, intensive museum tours and lectures, and wider-ranging trips based on the Professor-in-Charge's area's of expertise outside Rome are included as part of the course. In the recent past, Campania and Sicily have been the focus of extended and focused study. Because The Ancient City course depends on prior knowledge of Roman history, students are expected to prepare themselves by taking a Roman history course or by careful reading on the subject.
Weekly sample schedule for all students
Students choose their courses from the following:
**Latin & Greek language course syllabi will be updated as they become available.
Ancient City
2 course credits
Intermediate Latin
1 course credit
Advanced Latin
1 course credit
Intermediate Greek
1 course credit
Advanced Greek
1 course credit
Renaissance and Baroque Art History
1 course credit
Elementary Italian
1 course credit
(No other level of Italian is available)
Please note: The text for the Italian course is available at the Centro and is a different edition than the one used in the US. Therefore, it is recommended that you not purchase the book before arriving in Rome and that you use one of the books available there. Also, for this course, please have a small, portable English-Italian dictionary.)
The Latin and Greek courses avoid excessive concentration on commonly read works. Students who wish to take an independent study or directed reading may do so, providing it is supervised by a member of the faculty at the student's own college or university. This work will not appear on an ICCS transcript, and no responsibility for it will be taken by the ICCS faculty.

The Ferris State University women's basketball squad has had some close games with Lake Superior State in recent memory and Saturday's (Feb. 21) Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) tilt between the two teams inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena was certainly no different.
The Bulldogs trailed by nine points only five minutes into the contest but came out on top by posting a 69-66 triumph over the Lakers in their regular-season home finale before a "Senior Day" crowd of 414 fans at Big Rapids.
Following the game, the Bulldogs honored seniors Teghan Thelen, Ashley Fleming, Caitlin Hutchison and Jenna Guay after their final home games at Wink Arena.
The senior quartet led the Bulldogs in the win over the Lakers, which enabled FSU to jump past LSSU and move into sole possession of sixth place in the GLIAC standings. Ferris improved to 11-13 overall and 9-11 in league play by winning its fifth-straight game this campaign.
Thelen tallied a team-high 21 points in her final home game and added both five rebounds and five assists. Meanwhile, Guay chipped in with 12 points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots and two assists.
Fleming closed out the home portion of her career with a double-double effort as she had 11 points and 10 rebounds. Hutchison added four points in the victory.
The performances from the seniors helped offset a 26-point effort by Lake Superior State's Jaclyn Armstrong, who also totaled 14 rebounds. Emily Joseph contributed 13 points and Alyssa VanderWal netted 12 boards in the losing cause for LSSU, which fell to 15-13 overall and 8-12 in the GLIAC.
Ferris shot 47% (28-60) from the floor and connected on four-of-11 (36.4%) three-pointers with nine-of-13 (69.2%) free throws. Meanwhile, the Lakers were 25-of-65 (38.5%) from the field and three-of-13 (23.1%) beyond the arc in addition to 13-of-18 (72.2%) at the free throw stripe.
The Lakers outrebounded FSU 41-36 and grabbed 17 offensive boards while FSU had 10 rebounds on the offensive end.
Ferris dished out 23 assists as Thelen, sophomore guard Chelsea Simonetti and freshman guard Kelsey DeNoyelles tallied five apiece. The Lakers totaled 10 assists and turned the ball over 14 times.
FSU compiled six steals and six blocks with the Lakers netting six thefts and four swats.
Ferris State hits the road for its final two regular-season contests next week. The Bulldogs visit Northwood on Thursday, Feb. 26, starting at 6 p.m. (EST). FSU then travels to Wayne State Saturday, Feb. 28, to wrap up the regular-season with tipoff set for 1 p.m. (EST).
The top eight teams at the end of the regular-season advance to the GLIAC Tournament and FSU currently sits in sixth with a one-game lead over three teams including LSSU, Northern Michigan and Findlay.

Depending on your particular salad days, PUJOL might sound like Slade, AC/DC, Hanoi Rocks, Redd Kross, Smashing Pumpkins, Andrew WK, or Nobunny. In other words, sky-high glam-pop has clearly devolved into skuzzier iterations, and PUJOL (aka Daniel Pujol) is here to bring some stadium lazar lights back to the stumbling state of platform shoe glitter-rock.
Apparently this Nashvillian has been honing his hooks in basement shows and second bill dive bar appearances for nearly four years, but if the level of sugary songcraft on this platter is any indication, he will not stay cult cramped for long. Every song on Kludge sparkles with battling layers of crackling guitar, tinkling sounds, glittery guitar licks, snares like a 100 hands clapping, loads of harmonic back-ups vocals, crashing glass, uh, maybe even some lion growls, who knows. But it all coalesces over the album, never coming off like random ProTools trick trying. PUJOL make it sound like it's all blasting out of a stadium, although if you pull out your binoculars, you'll see a trash band down there having a ball.
Judas Booth slowly comes slumping in, building up to a singalong coda straight out of an ELO show circe '78. Which if he stuck to that would get goofy quick, but he right away jumps into Manufactured Crisis Control, ("The old me and the new me are in a fist fight!") which sounds like it could be right off the Village People's forgotten new wave stab, Renaissance, and that's a compliment. As is the fact he keeps his songs short, and the tunes are perfectly tracked too—a tact often neglected in our single streaming times. The shuffling Pitch Black is a classic third-song highlight, and quite simply the best guitar-pop song of the year so far. The fluttery Dark Haired Suitor and its warbly solo calming you down from the running in Circles, that comes straight at you like a fast Sweet tune given Adderal and told to go play outside for awhile.
Seriously, while listening to this, it's sometimes shocking how catchy it is, especially considering how many little bits of tricks are zipping in and out of songs, not one element ever overstaying its welcome for even a second. Pujol's higher register sugar-snarl is another twist that bends from indie pop expectations. Lyrically, Judas Booth talks of bouncing back after some tough times, and there are a few such sentiments of moving on to bigger and better things. And he flat out name-drops Freddy Mercury in No Words, so he's an honest bloke. Otherwise, the lyrics mainly exist in Marc Bolan's fifth ring of Saturn, surreal takes on 20-something heartbreak and finding salacious ways to alleviate it.
There remains an invigorating trash-rock center to it all. The clattering mash of melodies that run around this record require that you equal its energy, and many indie rock listeners would often rather be lulled in. Sacred Heart BFK, a song about "playing with my butterfly knife" offers a funny breather in the middle. Kludge loses just a touch of its Lichtenstein POW! towards the end, turning off into some stripped-back cracked country (Spooky Scary) before popping one last block of Double Bubble into its jaw on Youniverse, with sounds of fireworks exploding in the distance, some lovey-dovey lyrics, and Pujol and his pals cheering their endless summer, before a hidden, creaky birthday song at the end. Sure, some of the angsty apparitions that zoom in and out of this funhouse are wearing Bay City Rollers plaid suspenders and smell of a '74 junkshop in London, but it all smatters around in ways that only our digital doohickeys could allow. 21st century, meet your new Noddy Holder.

Any dog can get cold. Small dogs with short hair, or dogs without any hair need a sweater or something. Any small breeds like the Chihuahua would need to have a sweater on in under 30 F weather.
Hairy breeds also need sweaters, all dogs get cold. Howard used to have so much hair, but we shaved it all off and now he hates the cold, and he used to get so hot in the 20 F weather.
List of some dogs that don't really need to wear sweaters: Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Husky, Alaskan Klee Kai, any kind of Husky kind of breed does not need to really wear a sweater. Great Pyrenees, Chow Chow, Afghan Hound, and Akbash. These are just some of the dog breeds that really don't need to wear sweaters, because they have so much hair. Unless, you shave them of course, then they might need a sweater or something.
No dog is 'prone' to cold, either. Every dog will get cold.

I think it really depends on the dog. All dogs are different and regulate their body temperatures differently. If your Chi seems cold and is shaking I would put on a sweater! :D
Twizzler answered on 3/9/10. Helpful? / 0
you can have a sweater on as much as needed.
I usually have one on my little dog from Late september through May.
I wouldn't keep them outside in the cold months also. they should be inside

Why would you put a poor pup in a sweater? Dogs aren't meant for clothes! They are degraded that way. You shouldn't have to do that. That's why dogs have fur! It's like a super protective coat. Is your chihuahua long or short haired. Either way, your dog should be used to being bare. And your dog should be used to being cold. If they get to used to clothes, it could become a necessary thing for the dog. And dogs shouldn't feel like they have to need something on their backs. Clothes are meant for humans, not dogs! Chihuahuas are a bit prissy. I should know. I have one. And she hates being put in clothes. Do you enjoy wearing really tight things that you know aren't right or meant for you? Look at it in the dogs eyes. Chihuahuas can warm themselves. It's like a human's body. They give themselves heat. They are WARM blooded. They give off heat. If it is a puppy chihuahua it doesn't happen to change there either. It can cause stress when you put clothes on him because it can cause stress.
Dolce answered on 3/10/10. Helpful? / 0
Sorry, but dogs DO NOT make their own heat any more than we humans do!!! A chihuahua or Chinese Crested or other small, hairless or shorthaired dogs is originally from temperate climates. When they are brought into areas where the temperature is colder they most certainly get cold and this cold can actually kill them!!! My Chinese crested wears sweaters anytime the temperature is below 60 degrees.
All of my small dogs have sweaters and/or jackets and they love having them put on before they go outside in the cold and snow. It is absolutely insensitive to make a dog you have agreed to care for and watch over suffer with cold and inclement weather. By bringing these dogs into our warm homes we have removed their natural ability to acclimitize their bodies to cooler and ultimately cold temperatures. Any short haired single coated dog living in a warm house WILL get cold and uncomfortable if put outside in cold weather. As responsible dog owners we make sure they are warm and sa

Corporate Advocacy Program™
monday through friday for sure zoe ministries solicits for seed sowing into their ministry over their conference line 712-432-0075, enter my password 213620, which allows me to hear live what the prophets are reading, discussing, and soliciting seed money for during that session. according to the dollar amount of what anyone seeds, they are given a direct word from the prophet(s). many years have passed that ii have continually partnered with zoe ministry having sown much money into their organization. little did i know that this ministry does not have a financial missions fund, a fund who feeds the poor in this country, gives out clothing or even helps the homeless. i have just come to understand in 2010 after having sown $7.500 in 2010, at the least that this organization does not give back to the community when they are called upon. i was told right out of the mouth of prophet e bernard jorda, we are not set-up for missions, so what is giving hope to orphans in africa called?
i had a first hand experience, where i became homeless due to no fault of my own, abruptly and unexpected during this very cold winter season; i am desperatly in need of some financial assistance which i was not able to obtain through any government/private/or community agency in my county. I have been told by every organization that received stimulis money, there is nothing left, funds are all gone, so as a last resort i turned to the church for immediate help in getting out of a homeless and cold situation, needing help to pay first month's rent and security, which is all that i asked for. little did i know that i would receive a very cold abrupt response from bishop jordan and even his back up staff, all i could hear coming from the bishop and his staff is this, did you go here or there, did you try over there, but never did i hear we will help you up. nothing was ever mentioned about my faithful giving of much money into their ministry, but they are experts in the power of suggestion with saying did you go here or there. i have learned a though lesson, one i will never forget, churches are suppose to heal and not pour salt into our wounds, watch out for the hidden agenda. what are these people really all about, even with the many cd's i should have received with words from the prophets, i never received and complained to the staff many times over, only to get a porition of what i should have received and even after receiving cd's with a prophetic word for my life, the words i received had no truth to them, out of the many cd's and years of giving there may have been 5 words of truth in all. shame, shame on zoe ministries, they use the millions of dollars for their very own purposes and so called hope to africa. what about the people whoes money supports their ministries and may just need in a time of despair and down trodden economey call upon them. beware of this ministry, and church that claims to be of god and speaks the word of god, but does not live up to the whole word of god needs investigation.there is something not right with zoe. zoe says their mission is to fulfill god's dream, i would like to know what you call this?
ZOEs missions ministry has the purpose of raising awareness of modern Christian world missions and stirring up a passion to reach our world for Christ. We believe that is it our responsibility as todays Christians to reach our own generation with the gospel. We are available to preach and teach in churches, Bible studies, missions conferences and other venues in order to impart this burning mandate on the Church. We also have an excellent short-term missions program for churches and individuals including fun and adventurous missions trips in the un-reached regions of the world.

Zoe ministries is a very cold, non caring organization without any regards to human life. today, January 18, 2010, less than three weeks of my asking the Bishop for help in putting a roof over my head, and having him respond; we are not set-up for that (meaning missions), oh but i see they are set-up for collecting as much money as any one person can give them single handed. this prophet had the audacityto write and ask me to sow a seed of $318. heal the family seed by credit card, or send your check or money order in the enclosed envelope so that God begin working your 30 days of miracles and begin to heal your family. knowing that I am homeless and need a hand up, which he has not given back to me up to this present time, a person like this has no compassion for human life and does not know what it means. if i had $318.00 i would use it toward rent and security which are my immediate needs, and as long as i don't get the help, i will continue living in the street. these are people who claim to hear words coming from the Lord (ha, ha) what lord are they hearing from, the lord of greed and selfishness or some of those demonic african spirits posing as spirits of light and truth. the word of god tells me to try the spirit by the spirit and see if it be of God. Mathew 25: 41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:42For I was an hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye diditnot to one of the least of these, ye diditnot to me.46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.got a word from the lord on this prophet, perhaps god has commissioned you to not help the poor, visit the sick, feed the hungry, which tells me your god can not be the god of abraham, Issac and Jacob, no way. Be warned, this is not a church of the living god, watch out folks, this is a business of some sort and i hope the internal revenue is taxing all their goods and if they are not paying taxes they should render unto Caesar the things that are Cesar's's and to God the the things that are God's.

As part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the historic 1963 March on Washington, PBS and LPB will air "The March," a new documentary about this important event in the Civil Rights Movement, at 8 p.m. tonight.
Narrated by two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington, this program will tell some of the stories behind the event which featured Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
The documentary includes interviews with Jack O'Dell, Clarence B. Jones, Julian Bond and Andrew Young. Supporters and other testimonials of the March include Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte and Diahann Carroll. Additional interviewees include Roger Mudd, the CBS anchorman who reported from the March, Clayborne Carson, founding director of Stanford's Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute and a participant in the March, and Oprah Winfrey. An encore is planned at 10 p.m. Friday on LPB-HD.
At 9 p.m., LPB-HD will air "Signpost to Freedom: The 1953 Baton Rouge Bus Boycott." This LPB program tells how the African-American residents of Louisiana's capital city staged a quiet revolt by refusing to ride city buses.
At 9 p.m. on LPB2, see "Building The Dream," which recounts the journey of an idea for a national monument honoring Martin Luther King Jr. — from a group of friends talking around a kitchen table to the creation of this permanent symbol — to ensure King's dream will remain alive for future generations. At 10 p.m. on LPB2, Independent Lens presents "The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights." This documentary follows the journey of the most celebrated — and controversial — leaders of the civil rights era from segregated Kentucky to head of the National Urban League.
In addition, the PBS Black Culture Connection website will debut "The March @50," a provocative five-part web series exploring whether America has delivered on the promises of the March. "Memories of the March," a series of video vignettes created by PBS member stations, explores additional compelling local stories of the March, providing a variety of perspectives on this historic event and its ongoing legacy.
LPB is also looking for stories from anyone who participated in The March on Washington or knows someone who did and how it affected their life. Visit lpb.org/themarch for more details or you can send your stories and pictures to email@example.com.

Auto Bailout Collapses on Wages
Last-ditch efforts to forge an agreement to rescue the U.S. automakers fell apart late Thursday, Dec. 11, when union officials refused fast and deep cuts in worker pay. The collapse created the real possibility that General Motors (GM) and Chrysler will face bankruptcy in a matter of weeks, unless the Treasury Dept. acts to prevent it.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the Senate floor Thursday night that a refusal of the United Auto Workers, headed by Ron Gettelfinger, to agree to lower wages and benefits at parity with workers at Toyota (TM) and Honda (HMC) in the U.S. by a date certain in 2009 was the last sticking point preventing Republicans from supporting the bill.
"We were three words away from a deal," said Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who spent all day trying to broker an agreement between Republicans, the union, and the auto companies. Tennessee is home to a GM and Nissan (NSANY) plant, as well as a future Volkswagen (VOWG.DE) plant and several supplier facilities.
Officials from the UAW did not return phone calls at press time.
"It's disappointing that Congress failed to act tonight," the White House said in a prepared statement. "We think the legislation we negotiated provided an opportunity to use funds already appropriated for automakers and presented the best chance to avoid a disorderly bankruptcy while ensuring taxpayer funds only go to firms whose stakeholders were prepared to make difficult decisions to become viable."
"A Loss for the Country"
The Senate rejected the bailout 52-35 on a procedural vote after the talks collapsed.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called the bill's collapse "a loss for the country," adding: "I dread looking at Wall Street tomorrow. It's not going to be a pleasant sight."
The bill called for $14 billion to be divided between GM and Chrysler, both of which are at the financial breaking point as the recession and consumer credit crunch have crippled their finances. The companies, anticipating failure in the Senate, have hired bankruptcy law firms. Ford (F) has said it doesn't need federal assistance now but has asked for a $9 billion line of credit in case sales deteriorate below the current level.
According to Corker, bond holders that conferred with lawmakers Thursday agreed to take a 70% writedown on debt they hold from the automakers, and to take half of the remainder in stock. GM has $42 billion in debt, not counting payments the company must make to the union's health-care trust in 2010. As part of the deal, the UAW also agreed to take half of its future $21 billion in payments to its health-care fund in stock. "The companies would have been stronger than they have been in 40 years, or headed for Chapter 11," said Corker.
Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) took a harsh and emotional tone with Republicans who voted against the bill. "Evidently the only thing that matters to those on the other side of the aisle is that workers make too much money," she said.
In a prepared statement, GM said: "We are deeply disappointed that agreement could not be reached tonight in the Senate despite the best bipartisan efforts. We will assess all of our options to continue our restructuring and to obtain the means to weather the current economic crisis." A Chrysler statement said: "Chrysler LLC is obviously disappointed in what transpired in the Senate and will continue to pursue a workable solution to help ensure the future viability of the company."
The only measure separating the two companies from likely bankruptcy by January, said auto executives Thursday night, would be a reversal in position by the White House and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to use a small portion of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout fund to tide the companies over to a new Congress and the Obama Administration in January. Democrats also will add to their ranks in the Senate then, which may be enough to get the bill passed.
The Ripple Effect
GM sources said the company's next move is to the Bush Administration, where the automaker will seek help from the Treasury Dept. or Federal Reserve. As a last-ditch strategy, GM has hired bankruptcy expert Harvey Miller of Weil, Gotshal & Manges in case the company runs out of cash and options, GM sources confirmed. But Chairman and CEO G. Richard Wagoner Jr. and GM's board are fighting to avoid bankruptcy, which they believe would send the company into liquidation, lead director George Fisher told BusinessWeek last week.
The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday, Dec. 10, that approved the loan package and had the support of the White House. It called for a "car czar" to oversee the automakers' restructuring over the first three months of the year. If benchmarks toward financial viability were not reached, the bill allowed the government to call the loans and force a Chapter 11 filing for the companies.
The cost to the taxpayer of GM and Chrysler bankruptcies could far exceed the amount of the loans denied by Congress. It is widely believed that a bankruptcy filing by GM will repel vehicle buyers, thus collapsing the company's revenue stream. The ripple effect would, many analysts believe, take down hundreds of supplier companies as well as force a bankruptcy filing by Ford.
The government would be on the hook for guaranteeing the automakers' pensions, as well as the additional unemployment and Medicaid payouts. The Center for Automotive Research estimates that around 3 million jobs could be lost in the next year following cascading bankruptcies.
