With several pending land management decisions on his mind, Moffat County Commissioner Tom Gray expressed concern Tuesday that the commission needs to reach out to Gov. John Hickenlooper.
The bottom line, he said, is the county commission needs to be more proactive with the new governor, mainly in organizing a meeting to discuss the area's issues.
At the commission's regular Tuesday meeting, Gray reflected on a previous letter sent to the governor in early November requesting a meeting in Moffat County or Denver and outlining the commission's stance on energy development in Vermillion Basin, Colorado House Bill 10-1365, and other energy development, land and water management issues.
The commission recently received a response to that letter from John Huggins, co-chair of Hickenlooper's transition team.
"We appreciate the support and enthusiasm you have as we move closer to Inauguration Day on Jan. 11," Huggins wrote. "We will pass on your comments and suggestions and we encourage you to stay involved during this transition."
Gray said he understands the governor will be busy and that most likely all of the state's counties would like to have some of his attention, but he maintained the need to keep the area's interest in mind.
"I think we need to, in a firm, but not adversarial way, stress to him why you really need to put us higher on the list and this is why," he said.
Gray said those reasons include the Bureau of Land Management's decision to close the 77,000-acre Vermillion Basin to energy development in its resource management plan and new policies on land management and conservation being developed by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, among others.
There is a "real urgency," Gray said, to see if Hickenlooper might have a different view about development in the Vermillion Basin than former Gov. Bill Ritter, and if he could reverse the decision.
"As it always happens when new people take office, that could go back for a new governor's review," Gray said of the BLM's resource management plan. "So, with that in mind, I think we need to follow up, maybe not with another letter … but I think we really somehow should be able to stress to the new governor the urgency in Moffat County because of some of the changes coming down the pike for him to come and visit us."
Commissioner Audrey Danner agreed.
"I would assume right now that they are receiving a lot of mail and requests for events … and they are trying to acknowledge them," Danner said after the meeting. "We will keep on our requests and find a way to present this information to the governor whether he can come here or we can go to Denver and meet with him."
Gray added that "15 minutes in the conference room … isn't going to do it." He said he'd like to show Hickenlooper firsthand how some recent land management decisions have affected Northwest Colorado.
"There is nothing like a visual of what we are talking about," he said.
And if the governor doesn't have time to come to Moffat County, Gray said the commission should consider meeting with him in Denver.
Danner agreed, adding the commission could, with the help of a small group of residents and an hour of Hickenlooper's time, make him aware of the region's issues and woes.
"I have been of the mind to go to Denver and meet with whoever we need to (in order) to help with our situation," she said after the meeting.
Commissioner Tom Mathers said he thought the response letter from Hickenlooper's team was "pretty generic," and was one that he was "sure every county got, and maybe every city."
"I think it is a response letter just to respond," he said.
But, that is not discouraging to the commissioner.
"I have no doubt that if we called up and got a hold of Hickenlooper's office and said we would really like to come have a sit-down with you and just talk, I'm sure we would get an appointment," he said.

White House Chief Of Staff Denis McDonough: Offsetting Sequester With Cuts "Not Impossible"
So Why Is The White House Insisting On Tax Hikes?
JONATHAN KARL: But help me understand because we have a budget. This is … look at exactly what this is. $85 billion this year out of a budget of 3.8 trillion. You can see just the small slice and then if you look at the sequester over ten years we're talking about 1.2 trillion out of $47 trillion in projected government spending. Is it really impossible to find less than 3% of savings in a federal budget without making those kind of horrible cuts?
DENIS MCDONOUGH: You know what, it's not impossible and this is exactly what the president has done over the last year. $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction. He's ready to do another trillion and a half to get up to the $4 trillion target that economists across the country tell us is needed to stabilize the debt over the next ten years. So that's exactly what the president has done working with Democrats and Republicans.
JONATHAN KARL: But you're going to hold on tax increase.
DENIS MCDONOUGH: We're going to insist on doing it …
JONATHAN KARL: Which means tax increases.
DENIS MCDONOUGH: Insist on doing it in a balanced way.

The new platform combines the best of BlackBerry and the best of QNX to connect people, devices, content and services.
For developers, the BBX platform will include BBX-OS, and will support BlackBerry cloud services and development environments for both HTML5 and native developers.
The BBX platform will also support applications developed using any of the tools available today for the BlackBerry PlayBook – including Native SDK, Adobe AIR/Flash and WebWorks/HTML5, as well as the BlackBerry Runtime for Android Apps – on future BBX-based tablets and smartphones.
"With nearly 5 million BlackBerry apps downloaded daily, our customers have made BlackBerry one of the most profitable platforms for developers," said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM.
BBX will also include the new BlackBerry Cascades UI Framework for advanced graphics (shown for the first time today), and bring "Super App" capabilities to enable many advanced capabilities including deep integration between apps, always-on Push services, the BBM™ Social Platform, and much more.
In addition, RIM announced a series of developer tool updates, including WebWorks for BlackBerry smartphones and tablets, the Native SDK for the BlackBerry PlayBook and a developer beta of BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 with support for running Android applications.
At the event, RIM also provided direction for developers on how to best develop and monetize their BlackBerry applications for today and for the future.
"At DevCon today, we're giving developers the tools they need to build richer applications and we're providing direction on how to best develop their smartphone and tablet apps as the BlackBerry and QNX platforms converge into our next generation BBX platform," Lazaridis added.

Senator CROWLEY (8:37 PM) —I am pleased to speak on this important legislation, the Gene Technology Bill 2000 and associated bills. I am also very pleased to have had the honour of chairing the inquiry into this very important area. I suppose I would have to say that I thank the Senate for the opportunity to be provoked into learning about a terribly important area about which I had a general understanding—
Senator Kemp —We are pleased to have done it.
Senator CROWLEY —I am extremely pleased to have learnt about this, Senator Kemp. I think it is a great pity that more of us do not know about this. I was also very interested to know that so much genetic modification of organisms and processes was happening in this country with so few of us being aware of it or the extent of it. I do not think anybody has much trouble at all with genetically modified organisms that are being researched and developed within laboratories; I do not believe anybody has too much difficulty with GMOs when they come to the pharmaceutical area or the production of vaccines or inoculation material, and so on. Perhaps that is because there are fairly rigorous testing processes and experiments to ensure, as much as possible, that such products are safe for use in humans and that there is an appropriate appeal against them if they should not be. But what is very clear is that people are extremely concerned about genetically modified organisms outside of the laboratory, used either in field trials for crops or in genetically modified crops being provided for use as food, or in food products, or in the food chain. I do not believe having serious regard for community concern is the same thing as legislating or running a populist line. I think it is very important to make that distinction.
The first and loudest message that came through to our inquiry was the amount of community concern—a fairly informed community concern, I might say. I think the second important thing to note was that there were as many scientists of serious significance across this game who were opposed to work in this area outside of laboratories as there were scientists for it. Indeed some of the words to describe those people who have a caution about GMO organisms—like `noisy minorities' or `extremists'—I feel also contribute to why the community is uneasy about the people who are so hot to promote genetically modified crops or foods. They do not like being called noisy minorities or extremists when they are simply cautious, concerned and asking for information. They are certainly not asking for trouble. Indeed I think those people who wish to persuade us as to the virtue of GMO organisms need to understand the community concern and how to talk to the community. Patronising or abusing the community is never going to persuade them.
Senator Gibbs —Hear, hear!
Senator CROWLEY —A point well made by my colleague Senator Gibbs on many an occasion during the inquiry. I would like to say that what we saw during committee inquiry was a continuation of a fairly extensive community discussion that had gone on prior to the development of the draft legislation. Senator Knowles has told us on a number of occasions about the extent of that discussion, and it is important to recognise that. It was very comprehensive, but I do not believe that meant it had concluded. Indeed many of the people who contributed to the community discussions made submissions to our inquiry, and I believe we were part of a continuing debate and discussion about this matter. Indeed this will continue during the passage of this legislation and probably well beyond it.
I appreciate how much the government has been at pains to provide information and I understand that discussions between the government and the opposition have been continuing, to the point where we had the announcement yesterday, available to all the Senate, about the arrangements with the Tas-manian government. I recognise that, as far as I understand it, to be evidence of the continuing discussion and agreement between the federal government and the state governments with points of difference here. I think these are all to the good. There is no absolute right answer or a closed view on this. There is a clear recognition of how important this legislation is and why the recommendations we made were to ostensibly strengthen the bill, not to delay it. That was the clear message that came to us during our inquiry, and I believe most of our recommendations could be incorporated with minimal time delay or difficulty.
Some of the points that I wanted to raise included the importance of a three-person regulator. I believe that the setting up of this Office of Gene Technology Regulator and the establishment of the procedures for how approval for licences for gene technology organisms research and field trials are going to be developed are going to be extremely challenging tasks. Setting up the office, getting the staff and setting in place the processes are not going to be things that can happen immediately. They are going to require considerable thought and deliberation. There are many questions I would love to ask the regulator, should he or she be able to come before this Senate and answer those questions. Indeed that is why I will be pleased to see the possibility of review, where we might say to the regulator: how is it going; what are you doing; what have been the toughest things to find out; have you had trouble setting the processes in train; how many people have asked for a licence and how are you going to decide which one goes first in the process—if 10 requests arrive on Monday, how are you going to decide which one gets the call first? That is why we recommend that the regulator be not one person but three.
This is a very onerous set of responsibilities, and we believe it would be far better for those responsibilities to be shared between three. Being such a person as a regulator would, I think, be a bit like being a judge. I had the experience of sitting on the appeals tribunal for mental health in South Australia. One of the things you discover is that it is not possible to talk about your decisions with many other people. It is, by definition, an isolating and lonely exercise. You cannot rush home and say, `You should have heard what we decided today—those drongos,' or those experts or whoever it was. You cannot take the work outside the office if you are doing it properly. There are a lot of constraints and a need for privacy, thoughtful deliberation and so on. These responsibilities would, I believe, be much better shared between three regulators rather than one. The estimated costs that Senator Knowles has provided do not seem to me to be so onerous that they could not be afforded, particularly as the task will, I think, be massively onerous. I strongly recommend that the regulator should be a statutory authority of three people.
We also made a recommendation that there should be an option for third-party appeals, not just an option for appeals from people who are applying for licences. One argument I have heard against this in recent days is: `Well, the AAT would not really be able to deal with third-party appeals because they would not necessarily have the scientific capacity or information and knowledge to deal with appeals from third parties.' One would wonder, then, how this same AAT would deal with legitimate complaints, as allowed under the legislation, from the applicants for licences, who presumably would be talking the same language about the same kinds of scientific questions. If that is an argument that is being used, it is not a sufficient argument. I think that there is a prospect of mischievous appeals, and there needs to be a mechanism that weeds them out. It should not be possible for litigation to be run at the whim of just anybody. But, if a properly designated organisation has a concern and this can be filtered through, I believe it is appropriate that the third party have an option for appeal. This option should not just be for those people who are successful or unsuccessful in applying for a licence. Presumably it would be more likely there would be appeals from the people who are unsuccessful in applying for a licence. I think the community—properly, too—is concerned. Since this report was tabled I have had a lot of conversations on the phone with people—particularly people from various local government areas—who are very concerned about the opportunities for their areas to become GM-free zones. I may not have accurately judged the extent to which local governments or shire councils around Australia want that option, but it is not just extremists or oddballs who are concerned about this; many people now are successfully marketing under the banner `clean and green', as Senator Stott Despoja said, or `organic products'. Some people say, `But GM has got nothing to do with organic.' One of the things that distinguishes `organic' is that it is pesticide free. So if you are putting into an area a crop that effectively has a built-in pesticide in its genetically manipulated substance—as is the case with roundup ready cotton—I think you would have to say that GM organisms are not all that remote from organic. If not, please explain.
Those farmers who grow organic crops gave us evidence that they want to know if any GM crops will be field tested within cooee—if not downwind or within a bee flight—of their own crops. That is why we have recommended that, notwithstanding commercial-in-confidence requirements, to make the community and farmers as comfortable as possible, and to protect their own investments, the publication of such field trials must happen. We appreciate that there is evidence in other countries of what is now being called ecoterrorism: people who have planted GM crops or are conducting GM field trials have had some of those plants ripped out. We believe that stern penalties against ecoterrorism should be sufficient discouragement in this country, rather than not explaining to people where such crops are. I am advised that under the legislation the regulator, in approving a licence for a field trial in area X, must notify the appropriate local government or shire council authority. That local government or shire authority then has the option of making a submission for or against that field trial or of making any other comment about it.
I note—Senator Sherry talked about this today—that the option for GM-free zones or a GM opt-out is something that has significantly changed since the discussions between the federal government and the Tasmanian government. According to page 7 of today's Age:
States have won the right to decide for themselves whether to grow genetically modified organisms, under changes to Australia's regulation of the controversial science.
This means states will have the power to ban individual GM crops on marketing grounds, and it opens up the prospect of GM-free regions or even an entire GM-free state.
The shift, agreed in principle at a meeting of state and federal officials, will be written into the policy of a Ministerial Council on Gene Technology, according to a spokeswoman for federal Health Minister Michael Wooldridge.
An amendment to the new Gene Technology Bill will also enshrine a state's right to appeal on environmental grounds against a federal decision to allow a GMO's release.
This development, after consultation between the state government and the federal government, deserves commendation. It is part of ongoing discussion about, and development of, this legislation. As I say, we cannot presume that we have got it right. What we can presume is that we have got it as best we can at this time, though one of the reasons the majority report contains a recommendation for a review after three years and not five is that we believe this is a very significant area and that it needs to be looked at sooner rather than later to see that what is in place is sufficient to the task or whether indeed it needs even further amendment. I commend those people involved in the discussions who have brought this outcome. It is evidence of the continuing serious commitment by people involved in the GM regulator area to see an optimal outcome.
There are a couple of points that I think deserve comment and I would like to ensure, as we go through the legislation, that they are covered. One is the evidence arriving on my desk, from many places each day, about how the regulator will satisfy himself or herself that the evidence provided in support of an application for a licence is sufficient. The evidence about Aventis that was featured in the Sunday Age last week and that exposed—or, as Senator Stott Despoja said, at least elaborated on the fact—that, for example, Aventis provides evidence about why Aventis is okay to get a licence is the sort of thing that needs to be tested by the regulator. There may need to be ways in which the regulator can be assured that the evidence provided by the company is properly and rigorously tested.
I would like to ask the regulator: what have you done to ensure that the evidence they have given you does satisfy you? The evidence shows that modified canola fed to rats actually produced rats with a 16 per cent increase in the size of their livers, but this was not seen as necessary for further investigation. That is just the sort of thing that I would be inclined to say does need further investigation. Tell me why there is an enlarged liver. If you say that it is just because of other parts of the canola plant, please produce evidence of that for me. If I were the regulator, I would certainly want to ask that. How is the regulator going to satisfy themselves that the scientific evidence produced on behalf of an application for a licence is sufficiently rigorous and independent? What kind of criteria will there be for independent analysis of that research to test it fairly comprehensively? I am also interested in the fact that we were provided with the regulations in the course of our committee inquiry, and that was of great assistance. Quite often in this place, we are told that regulations will be written. In this case, we were able to say that regulations had been written and we were able to have a look at them, and that is a big advance from only being promised those.
I would also like to indicate a concern about the ministerial council. I am not sure that I know how that ministerial council will be constituted—who the ministers from the states will be. Will they be health ministers or environment ministers or some of each? If, for example, the proposal for states to have the capacity to make decisions on their own behalf is going to depend on a decision by the ministerial council or a principle proposed by the ministerial council, I need to know how soon that is going to happen and who the ministers on the ministerial council will be. Equally, I would like to know a bit more about the intergovernmental agreement. Some of those things still seem to be in the pipeline or not clearly defined. It may be that I have missed the final definitions of those things, and if I have, please accept my apologies. But I do believe that some of this is still to be finally decided or acted on, and that is of concern in such an important area.
Finally, I would like to again thank the people involved in the committee, from the independent office, the department and the minister's office to the secretariat, whose names I have already put on the record, and my colleagues. It has been a very important and very interesting committee inquiry into a piece of legislation that has been long awaited. One of the things that is clear is that everybody wants the regulator and wants the regulations. Everybody wants the police or the supervisors to have the power to ensure that licence conditions are being maintained and to have the power of significant penalties if people breach those guidelines. Lines from Aventis like `we would have behaved differently' if there had been a regulator worry me a whole lot. I would like to think that companies would have behaved in a most ethical way with or without regulators. (Time expired)
Debate (on motion by Senator Kemp) adjourned.

My 2002 530i started draining its battery.
I then noticed that when it was very cold, I could see two demisted circles, near the dash towards the centre of the windscreen. Others reporting similar symptoms concluded that it must be the hedgehog.
So, I replaced my hedgehog on the 19th of last month (bought the unit from a BMW dealer).
this morning, I was greeted with this.
What is going on? Is my 'new' hedgehog faulty? or something else.

By Dechen PembaOn the same day that historic protests started by monks in Lhasa began and were to sweep all over Tibet in the subsequent months, Dhondup Wangchen was nearly 3,000 kilometers away in Xian, in China's Shaanxi province. It was the last day of filming for his documentary film project that sought to give voice to Tibetans in the run-up to the Olympic Games. As was the case throughout China, Xian was caught up in an Olympic fervor. Big red banners were hung all over the city, the Olympic mascots peered from shop windows in unspeakably bright colors. None of this however, seemed to have the slightest connection to Tibet or the discontent of the Tibetan people.

On this date in 1827, Alexander Karl Ludwig Buchner, German writer and younger brother of Ludwig and Georg Buchner, was born in Darmstadt, Germany. He was educated at Zurich University and taught philosophy there for a time. In 1862 he became a professor of German literature and language at Caen University, in France. He wrote extensively on English poetry, and published History of English Literature, as well as works on Shakespeare, Byron, Jean Paul and Thomas Chatterton. In 1864, he produced a book on Richard Wagner. Political exile forced him to Holland, in 1849. He alludes to his own rationalist views in his exuberant support of his brother Ludwig's scientific work. D. 1904.
Alexander Buchner
"[Before Force and Matter, 1855] what did the world at large know then of the first achievements of science? The vast majority were sunk in their blind faith in authority and the Bible . . . they did not wish to know, because such things clearly contradicted the pleasant legends of the Bible, whose naive story of creation led to little reflection. Into this frog-pond was suddenly flung the log of Force and Matter. No wonder there was a universal croak."
—Alexander Buchner, praising his brother Ludwig's scientific achievement Force and Matter, in the "Introduction" of Last Words on Materialism and Kindred Subjects by Ludwig Buchner, 1901

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Tennessee softball co-head coach Karen Weekly's time as an assistant coach on the USA Softball Women's National Team this summer has been a truly special experience.
Representing your home country is an honor in itself, but donning the Red, White and Blue alongside Tennessee greats Raven Chavanne and Lauren Gibson has made the past few weeks very special.
"There's definitely a lot of pride for me as a coach just watching those two put on the USA uniform," Weekly said. "For them, I think when they look to their left and look to their right and see the great talent next to them assembled on a team like this, they know this is special."
Team USA completed pool play in the Pan American Games Qualifier undefeated and enter the playoffs and medal round as the No. 1 seed. Gibson and Chavanne, fresh off completing four-year Tennessee careers in which they re-wrote the record books, have continued to shine this summer as a formidable 1-2 punch in the No. 2 and No. 3 spots of the USA lineup.
"I'm really proud of what Raven and Lauren are doing," Weekly said. "They're both playing outstanding and they're representing USA and Tennessee in the best possible way."
The past few days in San Juan have been rainy, creating delays and game cancellations. Still, Weekly and the USA staff and players have made the most out of the long days, using them as opportunities to bond as a team.
"With the rain delays, it's created a lot of time of sitting in the locker room and getting to know people," Weekly said. "We play a some games sitting there and waiting like catchphrase. So we have a lot of fun with some kids you wouldn't get a chance to meet and know otherwise."
Working with Team USA has also given Weekly a chance to get to know players Tennessee has had to scout and play against in recent years. She said that sharing a dugout with former Tennessee foes Michelle Moultrie (Florida) and Lauren Chamberlain (Oklahoma) has been a great experience.
"It's really just very interesting being on the same side of the field as Moultrie and Chamberlain," Weekly said. "When you compete against them, it's so different. It's neat because there's a lot of `Oh wow, I didn't know you were like this.' It's neat to get to know them and their personalities as ballplayers. You appreciate their talent when you're in the same dugout."

I'm "into" edged weapons. I just think knives are cool. I enjoy edged weapon training, and I'm fortunate enough to live in a state where I can carry pretty much any knife (and as many of them) I choose. Autos, and double edged blades are out, but I'm not all that fond of either anyway, so I'm a pretty happy guy. There's just one problem. Most knives come with sheaths that are not very well suited to carry. Many good knives come with sheaths that are just plain junk. So, I started making my own.
Mercharness sheath for my RAT Cutlery RC-3.
These work in a wide variety of carry positions, with a wide variety of attachments.
The knives are a Spyderco Swick, and an Emerson La Griffe.

I designed this one for use with a small Tek-Lok, to be carried horizontally, edge up, just to the left of my belt buckle. That's how I carry my Street Beat about 90% of the time.
Also for my Street Beat, for the 10% when I carry it IWB, or on a Mercharness.
IWB for my CRKT Polkowski-Kasper Companion.

Very good job. Congrats!

Hi, where to start.
First the windscreen wipers on my car either work intermittant of full speed. So its 2 intermittants and 1 full speed. Also the jet washers dont work. My car has headlight washers too.
On the inside it has 2 water bottles. 1 bottle with 1 pump close to the windscreen that holds "concentrate" and the big bottle with 2 pumps that clean the windscreen and headlights. The "concentrate" pump works when you push in the stalk, it works for a wee squirt and thats it. The other two, nothing. There is power going to the pump but when the pump is connected to the power nothing happens.
Its not the wiper/washer module as i have changed that and it stays the same.
There are 2 green relays that if i remove them nothing works ( wipers or concentrate pump ).
Any help would be great as i am going mental and of course with it like it is , it wont pass an MOT.

Prospective bidders sniffing around the NSW power plants coming up for sale next year are becoming more than a little concerned about the impact of the generators' growing liability for deferred retirement benefits.
Scrutiny of the recently filed 2011-12 accounts for Delta, Eraring and Macquarie Generation has revealed that the financial burden calculated to cover the generous deferred benefits superannuation for their employees has ballooned out, more than doubling from the previous year to a combined $585.5 million.
The question is how the government, advised by Goldman Sachs, is planning to deal with such a hefty liability, which equates to about a fifth of the roughly $3 billion price tag that NSW Treasurer Mike Baird has put on this phase of the power privatisation.
Certainly potential bidders will be looking to avoid taking it on, alongside potential costs for staffing and agreed transfer payments of about $108 million embedded in provisions in the sale legislation. The financial reports reveal that Delta's liability for delayed super benefits has swollen to $246.5 million, while Eraring's reached $153 million and MacGen's $186 million.
Concerns have already been raised about staff costs and transfer payments, with back-of-the-envelope calculations suggesting employee costs average about $110,000 per head a year.
On the profits side, the numbers for all three generators came in on or just ahead of budget, but that was before the imposition of the carbon tax, so gives little comfort to potential suitors.
Meanwhile, the lack of action from the government in tackling the first assets up for sale – the plants underlying the gentrader contracts sold to

Shelley Rhodes is a contemporary mixed media artist who combines fabric, paper and stitch with drawings and prints. She gradually builds up layers, editing and altering as the work progresses.
Sources of inspiration include architecture, the environment and discarded items. She often finds inspiration on her travels and constantly records her observations in sketchbooks and journals.
She works from her studio on the Cumbria/Lancashire border in the north of England. She is a member of the Textile Study Group
E-mail: email@example.com
Recently she has been recording a series of walks depicting her route from one place to another. On each walk she draws, photographs, writes and gathers, recording marks, patterns, shapes, colour and texture. It could be impressions left behind in the mud or sand, ripples, leaves, grasses, cracks or peeling paint.
A recurring theme in her work is fragmentation, reconstruction and repair. She uses techniques inspired by Kantha and Japanese Boro, layering scraps of distressed, pre-used fabrics to create a new whole by layering, darning and mending. She prints, paints, dyes and stains fabrics and paper. After careful selection, the small pieces are layered, patched and pieced, then held together with stitch or other materials such as metal, plaster, nails, pins, tacks, staples and wire or whatever is relevant to the subject.
She is drawn to the effects of time, the transience of nature, the things that go un-noticed and the ever changing fragility of the things around her. She is now starting to look at the impact of man on the environment particularly the death of the coral seas.

Tips on choosing daycare carefully
You can find a state-regulated day care in your area and review its record by using the TxChildCareSearch.org <http://www.TxChildCareSearch.org> database on the DFPS website. You can also learn more about choosing child care at www.DontBeInTheDark.org <http://www.DontBeInTheDark.org>, where you will find a downloadable tip card and brochure.
If you're looking for day care, remember to look, learn, visit, and meet:
· Look for features that will help your child thrive. Consider the caregiver's education, experience, and training, as well as the size of the group and setting.
· Learn about licensed and registered child care at DontBeInTheDark.org <http://DontBeInTheDark.org> and TxChildCareSearch.org <http://www.TxChildCareSearch.org>. Explore day care options - searching by ZIP code, city, or county - and read the day care's inspection record.
· Visit the day care you are considering, while children are there, so that you can see activities, how caregivers act with children, and how the children like it there.
· Meet the caregiver or director. Discuss any concerns and make sure you are satisfied with their answers. Make a surprise visit later for a second look.
All regulated day care staff must undergo background checks but regulation and state oversight increase with the size of the day care.
1. Listed homes (1-3 unrelated children) must apply and pass background checks but are not inspected regularly.
2. Registered homes (maximum of 12 children at any time) must meet training requirements and pass background checks, and are inspected every 2 years.
3. Larger licensed homes and day care centers must meet health and safety requirements, get regular training, and are inspected every 5-12 months.
FY 2012 Texas Child Care Facts
· Regulated daycare centers and homes - 23,991 (866 in El Paso County)
· Capacity of regulated day care - 1,078,044 children (27,997 in El Paso County)
· Number of state inspections - 35,755
· Number of investigations of day care centers and homes - 14,114
· Permits revoked, denied or suspended - 175

Water and Light releases July 7th storm report
Columbia Water and Light has the damage report from the July 7 storm. The winds that blew through after the July 4 weekend, cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The storm that tore through Columbia-blew through with 80 mph winds. It uprooted trees, snapped electrical lines and utility poles, and cut power to more than 14,000 people. Columbia Water and Light now have the costs of restoring power after the destructive storm.
"We had line workers climbing over into ravines. Couldn't take the truck back there or any tools. Climbing over debris piles that were at least 6 foot tall and least 6 foot wide if not wider than that. So, a lot the restoration work had to be done by hand," said Connie Kacprowicz, utility services specialist for Columbia Water and Light.
The city manager declared an emergency situation in the aftermath, and for the first time in more than 30 years, multiple crews from outside areas came into Columbia to help. The July 7 wind storm costs break down as follows:
Personnel: $281,075
Inventory Materials: $68, 208
Transformers: $20, 707
Mutual Aid Contract: $141, 679
City Contractors: $235, 898
Total: $747,567
City officials said the money to pay these bills comes from the utility's reserve fund.
"Whenever we do have to dip into that reserve amount, we do have to replenish it because w e like to keep it at a certain level. So, it is an impact on the electric utility and the rate payers as far as where the money is going. But I think all and all for the damage that we saw. This is a lot less expensive than some of us were thinking," said Kacprowicz.
The power restoration took 137 personnel who worked 16-hour days. Officials said most of the power was restored in two days. Some people had to wait about five days for power restoration because the storm ripped the power lines from their home.
City officials said people should rest assured that Columbia Water and Light are prepared and have budgeted, just in case Mother Nature decides to hit again this winter. "That's part of our planning that we have to do-is not only prepare for contingencies of one thing happens in a year, but maybe two things happen in a year," said Kacprowicz.
Officials said that the electrical crews who where in Columbia after the storm worked through extremely dangerous conditions. They said safety is most important and are happy to report there were no injuries during the storm cleanup.

Insulate rim joist & basement walls- if exterior walls have no insulation?
I'm mapping out my basement remodel. It was finished in the 1960s with yellow psychadelic floor tile and paneling installed with furring strips :laughing:. I plan on fully studding the walls, mainly for plumbing, running HVAC ducts down to the floors and possibly insulation.
BUT- I discovered the exterior walls of my house do not have any insulation :( My energy bills aren't terrible, even with the original 1955 windows (though they do have storm windows). My bills have been around $100 a month for wintertime electric and gas. I'm wondering if there is any point in insulating the basement walls and rim joist in this situation.
My thought for insulating is, since the basement is naturally colder, it will help keep heat in the basement before it flows up to the upper level.
My thought against is- it may not be worth the expense or effort, since the upper levels have no insulation in the walls. Also, I should note parts of my house the exterior brick veneer walls are below grade. It's been like that for 50+ years and I don't see any evidence of mortar failure. One theory I have is since there's no insulation, heat from the basement comes through and prevents the damaging effects of the brick soaking up water then freezing. If I insulate the wall, then the brick may freeze. This is only my thought and I may be totally off, so that's why I thought I'd ask here :)
I'm actually contemplating the same thing in my 1953 home. I just had the exterior walls insulated while I had the siding off, but the basement is very cold right now. And consequently, the entire first floor flooring is cold. No insulation on basement walls or band/rim joist areas.
Sorry not offering any advice, but just wanted to let you know you're not alone on this one.
:laughing: Thanks for the support, my house is 1955. But brick veneer outside, I wouldn't want to punch through the brick to put in insulation so I got a quote to have foam injected through the inside walls and it came out to something like $2200 :( Not to mention the time and effort it would take to patch everything back up, I just said screw it. If my energy bills were $300 a month it may be worth it, but not when they're only around $100 or so. And I figure the top priority should be replacing things like the windows and doors with ones that don't leak. My front door is pretty leaky but I'll change that out in the spring.
I did have my exterior walls insulated. The company I used drilled through the brick mortar joints on the outside and injected blown cellulose. I didn't live in the house before it for energy bill comparison, but I can tell you the walls feel much warmer to the touch now. The brick was already painted before I bought it (stupid previous owner), so I just had it repainted so there was no chance of seeing the patch holes.
If I was paying $100 for electric/gas in the winter, I would just leave it. It would take a long time to make up the cost. But if it's a comfort thing......
I was hoping someone would chime in on the basement part of your question - that's what I'm wondering about.
Anyone? :laughing:
Brick veneer that is bonded to block or brick veneer with a vent space?
Insulating the basement (unless you use something like a closed cell foam directly to the brick) should not really affect the safety of the brick.
As long as you don't use something like a vapor retarder (Class I) it will still allow the window to dry to the interior if it needs to.

Two blokes go out for breakfast.What will people think?
The Barn Cafe & Grocery, Rozelle
Open 7am-7.30pm, seven days; cafe open Mon-Fri 8.30am-5.30pm; Sat-Sun 8am-5.30pm
Tried: Barn breakfast $16, bubble and squeak $15.50, toast $3, two coffees $5.80
Bottom line for two: $40.30
Something as domestic as bubble and squeak might seem an odd thing to order when you're eating out, but I've been eating out a lot lately - spare me your sympathy - and on Sunday morning all I really feel like is something I might have cooked myself.
But no, Keith's still away, and if I don't do Eat up now I know I'm going to run out of time and end up heading back to deVINE (Eat up, last week).
Apparently that would be no bad thing. As one learned reader pointed out this week, "the long boozy lunch has occurred there many days of the week" and the steak frites is indeed "excellent". So there you go. Next time Keith's away I know who I'll get to cover for him.
The Barn's bubble and squeak is undersold by the waitress as "mostly potato", but I order it anyway. It's the kind of unpretentious dish that suits the place.
A huge expanse of communal and smaller tables, mirrored columns, leadlight windows and diverse ceiling lights, the Barn prides itself on its gourmet grocery and delicatessen lines but is never less than a relaxed and comfortable place to be. Even on a Sunday morning, when it's an absolute zoo of kids and families and big groups at big tables.
This week's stand-in Popsi is, like myself, a hung-over male in his mid-30s who, as we wait for a table, expresses concern that everyone here thinks we're gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Perusing the menu, he fancies the strawberry pancakes topped with strawberries and cream, but as you can imagine, such an order might send the wrong message. The dish is steeped in gayness (that's two Seinfeld rip-offs in three sentences, trivia fans) but it's unclear who he's trying to impress, as the only women in evidence either have a child, are with child or are in fact still children.
In what's meant to be a display of unbridled masculinity he orders "the barn breakfast" - thick- sliced toasted bread, crisp bacon rashers, fried eggs, roast tomato, pork sausage and field mushrooms" served with coffee and juice. "We're not gay," he adds.
Our Illy coffees and a cranberry juice - a suspiciously pink colour, I would have thought - arrive in good time given that the floor staff appear to be flat-out and, soon after, a fine looking fry-up and the bubble and squeak hit the table.
The latter sets itself apart from the home-made variety by the addition of a bed of rocket and a whole slow-roasted tomato perched on top and the fact that you don't have to deal with the havoc that bubble and squeak leaves in a frying pan. It's not so much "mostly potato" as "mostly pumpkin". Its accompanying bacon is nicely crisped, a side order of toast essential to mop it all up.
The barn breakfast indeed looks impressive until an elderly woman on our communal table orders the same. What's more, before placing her order she complains that they'd removed the muesli from the menu. I like her spirit. "No muesli? Then just bring me the biggest fry-fest you've got."
Were my friend not so gay I'd suggest he ask her out. Instead, he keeps pestering me to hook him up with Popsi - but I suspect he fancies Keith.

A man holed up in a Chandler restaurant during an armed standoff has surrendered and the nearby mall has reopened, hours after it was locked down in the wake of an officer-involved shooting.
Police evacuated Chandler Fashion Center on Wednesday after officers with a U.S. Marshal's fugitive task force exchanged gunfire with a man in a mall parking lot around noon. The man fled into the mall's Sears store, where officers lost him.
Minutes later, authorities surrounded the Baja Fresh fast-food restaurant in a strip center north of the mall in response to reports of shots being fired and a hostage situation. The suspect fired several shots upon entering, likely into the air. Nobody was injured.
The man the task force engaged at the mall was initially believed to be wanted fugitive Daniel Perez, according to DPS spokesman Robert Bailey, but Perez was not the man arrested at Baja Fresh. That man was identified Wednesday evening as Adam Hernandez, 27.
Police don't know whether Perez was involved with any of the day's events, Chandler police Sgt. Favazzo said. Perez was being held on two counts of aggravated assault against DPS officers after a Dec. 10 shooting incident in Casa Grande. However, on Dec. 16 he was mistakenly released from custody by a Pinal County Justice of the Peace court after posting $320 bond on an outstanding misdemeanor charge from 2009.
U.S. Marshals do not believe the robbery at Baja Fresh was connected to Perez, but they believe the suspect may be. The task force had been investigating recent East Valley robberies and followed a man they believed to be Perez from an East Valley residence in a blue Kia SUV to the mall.
"We believe that the vehicle and robberies may have been connected to Daniel Perez," said Thomas Henman, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshal's Service. Authorities were fingerprinting and searching a blue Kia SUV in the parking lot they believe belong to the suspect.
At least two people remained in the business while negotiators were in contact with the man during the standoff, and just before 3 p.m. Hernandez came outside, took his shirt off and laid on the ground as he was surrounded by police.
Police evacuated hundreds of midday shoppers from the mall. Traffic was snarled along the Loop 101 exit ramp at Chandler Boulevard and police shut down the road leading into the mall.
Shoppers who had been stuck in the mall were eventually led out through the second level of Sears, where Chandler detectives were waiting to briefly speak with them to see if they had any useful information.
Police still needed to search the mall to determine if any suspects remained, Favazzo said.
Despite gunshots being fired both at the mall and at Baja Fresh across the street, no one was injured.
December Davis, 22, a waitress at the Kona Grill inside the mall, said she and others inside her restaurant were told to drop everything and exit the shopping center. People left without their purses, cell phones and other belongings.
Michael Beyne, a worker for Auntie Anne's Pretzels in the mall, said it was a very chaotic scene after U.S. Marshals and SWAT team members arrived at the mall, which he said was crowded. "They were running after him with guns drawn yelling and hollering and screaming at everyone, 'Get out! Get out of the mall,' as people were running.
"You don't expect that at Chandler Fashion mall. It was chaotic."
Workers then exited the mall outside the employee hallway as everyone got out, Beyne said.
He said he heard "three or four" shots inside the mall.
The law-enforcement response consisted of various agencies, including DPS, Pinal County Sheriff's Office, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and the Chandler, Tempe and Mesa police units as well as the U.S. Marshal's Service and local fire departments.
East Valley Tribune writers Dan Zeiger, Garin Groff and Mike Sakal contributed to this report.

I wanted a pocketfold invitation but, after making a fabulous prototype I was informed that I needed to make a Chinese version. I didn't like the idea of making two invitations, so I modified my prototype to have two panels instead of one. After a variety of modifications and changes in sizes to avoid paying extra postage or having to order custom envelopes, this was the end result:
The RSVP card: Created in Illustrator and printed on ivory cardstock.
The map: Created in Illustrator and printed on ivory paper.
The finished product fits into a standard A6 sized envelope and only needs a $.58 stamp. Yay! The burgundy cardstock, ivory linen paper and A6 ivory linen envelopes were purchased from www.thepapermillstore.com. The patterned paper was created by me in Adobe Illustrator from scanning a piece of Chinese brocaded fabric. RSVP cards were printed on ivory cardstock with clear address labels that I used for our return address.

Lynch and Newton Public Schools partner for tech upgrade
Boston College President William P. Leahy, S.J., joined Newton Mayor Setti Warren '93 to announce the University's new, three-year, $300,000 commitment to helping upgrade computers and other educational technology in the Newton Public Schools.
Lynch School and Newton school officials gathered at the Newton Countryside School in late January to hear details of the new Boston College–Newton Technology Collaborative—the latest collaboration in a longtime, mutually beneficial partnership between Boston College and the schools, according to Maureen Kenny, LSOE interim dean.
"Our students gain experience through working with accomplished teachers, while the schools benefit from young and enthusiastic student teachers who are immersed in the study of teaching," said Kenny. "This infusion of technology will give Newton students hands-on experiences while allowing our student teachers to train with the newest classroom tools available."
Newton Countryside School second grade teacher Michelle Powers '95 demonstrated a writing lesson using technology that will be purchased.

Heartbreak Hotel by Deborah Moggach
(Random House $39.95)
A catchy title is a vital ingredient for any novel, as Deborah Moggach well knows. Based on her 2004 novel These Foolish Things, the film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel enjoyed so much success at the box office last year that the book is now also known by that name. So it seems Moggach is apparently getting in on the act with the publication of her latest novel, the similarly themed Heartbreak Hotel, although she insists it is simply a coincidence.
"I didn't write it to exploit the other or to ride on its coat-tails," she insists. "But it did strike my mind that they've got a few things in common. They're both set in rackety old hotels that are also rather shabby, and they both share the idea that you can be somebody else in a hotel. They're very liberating places, where you live in a sort of limbo and live out your fantasies in them."
If Moggach sounds wary about The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel's impressive cinematic performance, it's because she has been there before.
In 2005, Steven Spielberg was poised to produce a big-budget epic of her 13th novel, Tulip Fever, that would have starred Jude Law and Keira Knightley, only for it to collapse at the 11th hour when then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown closed a lucrative tax loophole. At one stage it was slated to be helmed by John Madden, the Shakespeare In Love director, who would go on to enjoy much better fortunes with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel about six years later.
"Tulip Fever was quite famous because it was going to be this huge film and then it wasn't," reflects Moggach. "I'm pleased that Marigold Hotel has done so well, because I'm very fond of it. It tackles a rather important subject, so I'm rather glad people have had another bite of the book."
A seasoned scriptwriter whose credits include Joe Wright's acclaimed 2005 version of Pride And Prejudice, Moggach wrote the first draft of the screenplay before being replaced by Ol Parker. "They dumped me off it and got somebody else," she says. "But the film is very different to the book, so people can go back to it and have a whole different experience."
With a stellar cast that included Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith, both book and film centred around a group of British pensioners awarded a new lease on life after relocating to a run-down Indian hotel. "It's been a huge pleasure for people, particularly because it doesn't treat getting older as a journey into dementia, senility, heart attacks and death," says Moggach. "That's all in there but that's just due to the fact that those kinds of things tend to happen to people who are older. If you're old, you can still fall in love and have new experiences since age doesn't stop you doing those things."
The film has been praised for appealing to the so-called "grey-pound market", which has seen the release of a slew of like-minded movies such as Quartet and Song For Marion, also aimed at older audiences.
"For all their high salaries and expertise, all those Hollywood executives hadn't twigged to the fact that there's a large audience out there for stories that reflect their lives and aren't aimed at teenagers or 30-year-olds," says Moggach. "It's been a really wonderful experience with The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, because it has made people happy. We're living in really tough and rather dark times right now, so it's a huge joy to go to a cinema and see it packed with people roaring with laughter."
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was set in Jaipur, but the characters in Heartbreak Hotel don't venture so far afield. It begins with the incorrigible Russell "Buffy" Buffery inheriting a run-down bed and breakfast in rural Wales. "In one it pours with rain and the other one has got elephants," says Moggach wryly. "My boyfriend is based in Wales, so I've been going down to this little town where he lives. I'm an old hippie at heart, so I feel at home there, just like I feel at home in India, actually. A lot of people went [to Wales] in the 70s, as it was where you'd end up on a tank of petrol if you drove west to get away from London. They went there, started smallholdings and set up shops and led rather alternative lifestyles, making cheese and taking drugs."
Based loosely on her late partner, Times cartoonist Mel Calman, Buffy first appeared in Moggach's 1993 novel The Ex-Wives. "Mel was very, very funny but he wasn't fat or a boozer like Buffy," she recalls. "He was the sort of person women loved because he liked nothing better than sitting down with a plate of cakes and a pot of tea and just nattering. He rather inspired The Ex-Wives and some of his jokes were in that book. I'm very fond of Buffy for that reason. I wanted to give him a new lease of life because I thought he deserved it."
In his inimitable style, Buffy stumbles on to a winner when he establishes his "Courses for Divorces", practical lessons for newly single individuals, some of which Moggach has detailed for real on her website.
"At the end of a relationship it's always like a bereavement and it's terribly upsetting for both sides, whoever instigated it," she says. "What makes it worse is that the sink's blocked and you can't unblock it, or there's a leak in the ceiling or some bills come in and you don't understand them. But the other person isn't there any more to help you or to just do it. We all take on certain tasks in a relationship so to lose that as well as the person is like a double blow."

text: I was awaken by a gentle shove, opening my eyes and saw the early morning sunrise peaking it's way through the gaps in my red floor length curtains. Upset that I wasn't being allotted my usual 10 hours of sleep, then I heard the familar deep, rough but cultivating voice behind the wake up call. "Get up. Take a shower." He called over his shoulder as he walked out of my room and closed the door, his tone was a commanding one. He wasn't suggesting, he was telling me. This being the first time he had uttered anything to me besides 'pass the salt' in the last couple of days, I didn't ask any questions and did what I was told. Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped up in a towel and flopped on my bed to hopefully rest my eyes for a more seconds while waiting for my next set of instructions. Before I could drift off completely, I felt his lips making a beeline from my collarbone to my ear, the scuffiness of his beard tickling the nape of my neck. "You're wearing the Chanel No. 5, I brought you. You smell nice." His voice much more charming than before, this was the man I fell in love with, since our latest arguement he'd gone missing. I smiled at the sentiment, remembering the day trip we took to the city holding hands, shopping at every store that would tolerate our obnoxious laughter and shameless PDA. Pushing to the back of my mind that, this memory seemed more distant than it actually was. I removed my towel and tossed it to the floor, and he matched my movements pressing my body against his and he laid on top of me. Kissing me softly at first then harder, his warm mouth tasted like mint toothpaste, until I couldn't stand the thought of going another second without him inside me. Like the mind reader he always is he slid it in, causing me to gasp for air and grip tighter on his back. The intensity of his stroke increasing with the sound my moans. In the middle of heavy breathing and deep sighs of extascy he leans in and whispers, "I hate you, bitch."

England's cricketers are set to receive protection from India's elite commando force should Kevin Pietersen's side return to complete its two-Test tour of the country. It is believed the troops, the same as those who stormed the Taj Mahal Hotel to end last week's terrorist siege in Mumbai, will give England's travelling party 24-hour security during the proposed two and a half week visit.
Reports in India's Hindustan Times state that the England and Wales Cricket Board have asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India for the commandos to accompany the team at all times, provide blanket security cover around the England dressing-rooms in Chennai and Mohali, and deliver an emergency evacuation plan should there be a terrorist attack.
The ECB are awaiting reports from their security advisor Reg Dickason before officially confirming whether or not the tour will go ahead. Dickason is in India collecting security information on the two cities hosting Tests.
If the series takes place, which is becoming increasingly likely – the unofficial word is England will travel tomorrow – Pietersen's side appears set to stop over in Abu Dhabi for a couple of days of preparation. Last night reports from the emirate suggested England will play a warm-up game at the at the Abu Dhabi Cricket Club. It is believed that several of the Performance Squad bowlers who were in India at the same time as the one-day side will accompany the Test squad. But are they there to give England's batsmen decent practice before the first Test, or as possible replacements for Andrew Flintoff and Stephen Harmison? If Flintoff and Harmison decide not to tour the selectors will pick replacements from the Performance Squad or Middlesex, whose bowlers will have kept fit for the postponed Champions League.
Comments from Giles Clarke, the chairman of the ECB, suggest England will return. Clarke last night insisted that both he and the ECB will not allow terrorism to influence where and when England play. "Under no circumstances will we allow our cricket to be dictated by terrorists," said Clarke. "The security advice we are receiving has not changed and we are getting a lot of help and cooperation from everyone in India. The BCCI is doing all it can to facilitate the tour but we must do what we have to do properly and thoroughly. It is what every England player wants and deserves.
"India is an enormous country and there are large parts of it that have never seen terrorist activity. In 2005 the Aussies were sensible and we are doing the same here. I am not aware of any player making himself unavailable yet but that is not my remit. Cricket is Hugh Morris's responsibility."

What will happen if someone constantly presses on their nose bump?
I had a nasal hump. And some psychological issues. I would just look in the mirror and HATE the hump. Obviously I was only 16 I couldn't get surgery. So I just kept pressing on it.....but eventually I had trouble breathing. Now I am almost 18 and the trouble breathing has not gone away? What happened? Is there a solution? It's truly ruining my life, but I went to ENT's and they said my septum is NOT deviated...

What will happen if someone constantly presses on their nose bump?
You sound like you have a challenging breathing issue to address, but I would not recommend a surgery if an anatomic cause cannot be identified.

Maplewood-Cedar Grove-Hebrew Cemeteries Project
A New Doorway into Kinston's History
The Kinston Historic Cemeteries task force, in cooperation with the Pride of Kinston, Inc and the Lenoir County Historical association, is engaged in a campaign to create a new entrance way into Kinston's historic Maplewood-Cedar Grove - Hebrew Cemeteries.
Designed in 2010 by Kinston native Brook Jones, student at North Carolina State University's School of Design, and adopted by Pride of Kinston, Inc., the new entrance into the historic burial grounds is offered to honor the memories and achievements of those buried in these sacred grounds.
Pride of Kinston's participation in the project is aimed at improving the appearance of a major entrance into the city's downtown while acknowledging the historical significance of the place.
"These grounds reflect much f Kinston's civic history," according to task force chair Carol Southerland. "The graves here are the final resting places for many of the region's leaders of long ago, and more recently."
As part of a national movement to honor old burial grounds as major historical assets, the Kinston organization is compiling a complete record of those interred in the 21.4 acre site.
The group has also organized landscaping projects, a series of "community days" and a special Vespers service to acknowledge the impact of those buried in Maplewood - Cedar Grove-Hebrew cemeteries on the area's history.
The names of African Americans, whites and Jewish residents flow throughout once-segregated site reflecting living patterns which existed in earlier times.
The oldest graves date to the early 1800's. Although no new plots are available, there are grave sites purchased years ago for current day burials.
The cemeteries are maintained by the City of Kinston. Descendants and families of those buried therein take care of individual graves.
Will You Help?
Descendants of those buried in the historic burial grounds
Those who have plans to be buried in this special place
Those interested in the history and achievements of those who have gone before
You are invited to contribute to this special campaign, a campaign...
To honor the individual memories of those whose final resting places are in these historic grounds

For Months now we have had trouble with Century link. The area we live in is considered an island so Century link is the only service we have here. The lines and Boxes are old and need to be replaced. So, when it rains or we have any kind of weather our lines go bad and we lose our phone and internet.
We have called so many times for repair its not even funny. I have gotten to the point now i cannot even talk with them because all they do is LIE!! Several of the techs that have come out have told us that Century link will not replace anything here because it would cost too much money. Bull s**t!!
Their customer service SUCKS!! And several times we have called, we were directed to customer services in other countrys. Nothing pisses me off more to try and talk to someone in another country who cant speak or understand English. They do Nothing but say "we are sorry for the inconvience". Which after all the trouble makes you even more mad.
Seems like everytime i pay the bill off, our services go out. So inconvient! My husband and i have medical issues and need our phone service but, that does not matter to them at all. Just had to have a tech out here today again and he told us we wont have service till tomorrow maybe!
We are just so fed up with all this!! We are considering a law suit for sure!!

Me gustó mucho la peluca, el único problema es que se enreda con mucha facilidad.
I'm not familiar with wigs and this was my first time purchasing one. It was very easy to put on and stayed on for the most part (I recommend utilizing a wig cap but for not having one is stayed on pretty well). It pulled the costume together perfectly.
O.o ur wearing a lucky star wig with a suzumiya haruhi cosplay? .'
Av odawsand 7 / 4 / 2013
Awesome wig! Was easy to cut and style and, because I'm short (5'), it's super long. Great quality!
The packaging and quality of this wig was absolutely fabulous! Timing was very bad, though. I had requested the 68 days shipping, and it arrived on the 10th day. However, the quality of the wig was worth the wait! Will definitely be recommending this website!
Peruca em ótimo estado, perfeita.
