Corporate Advocacy Program™
I went to JB in February 2013 highly recommended by a co-worker. Interested in a 3 row suv, I was given a cell number for Millie and she assured me that they had a Volvo suv that I could get into since she didnt have the CX-9 that I wanted. I spoke with her multiple times prior to going to dealership, including the night before, to verify that the vehicle was still available. Once I arrived at JB, Millie told me she sold the Volvo truck, but "its ok because it had too many miles on it."
Since the Volvo was gone, I was given an Expedition to test drive. I was told to turn around by the gentleman riding with me after about 2 blocks but in that time I could tell they were trying to put me in a very bad car. The transmission was clearly slipping, the interior of the car was falling apart, seats torn and the radio didnt work. The second vehicle i test drove was a Mazda 6. Millie and I came to the agreement that I would pay on the Mazda 6 for 6 months and use all those payments and the trade in value of the car to go towards a down payment of an suv that JB would purchase from an auction after about 4 months. Millie assured me that by doing this, I would have a bigger down payment and they would report to the credit bureau which in turn would help raise my credit score by showing revolving credit.
Apparently the financing would take a couple days but Millie was adament that I would be able to get approved for and take the Mazda 6. In the time being, she wanted to make sure I could leave the lot with something so she was going to put me in a Chrysler Town & Country Touring. I specifically asked if I needed to test drive the car because I noticed the paperwork I was signing was "As Is" and expressed my concern about being stuck in a car I didnt want and being sold a lemon. I was continuously told not to worry about it because I was not keeping the van, I will only have it for a couple of days.
The co-worker that referred me to JB let me know that they will accept a small down payment but alter the loan before sending it to the bank to show that I put down more money than I actually had. Thats exactly what Millie did. I put $800 down but she told me she would tell the bank I put down $1500. Millie also has a friend that is an agent for multiple insurance companies and got me a great price on car insurance.
I took the van home on a thursday and was told to give them until Monday or Tuesday to get financed for the Mazda 6. On Tuesday I went to JB to find out what was going on, my co-worker told me you have to stay on Millie to do the work because they take forever doing everything, but I was told the loan still hadnt gone through. "We are working on it, just give us a couple more days." At that time I again expressed my uneasines about getting stuck with the van because it too had obvious transmission issues, needed an oil change, a tune up, 2 new front tires, a right break light, it only had one working windshield wiper. Not to mention the fact that I was stranded at a Walmart that saturday because the battery completely went out. Upon calling Millie's cell, I was told my her boyfriend Manny that they dont have bad batteries in their car, that it was the alarm preventing the car from cranking and stated "There is nothing wrong with the battery. If I come out there and it cranks up, are you going to pay me for my time?!" Manny was very disrespectful. And no one ever came. I attempted to jump the van with my sister's car but had no such luck. Later that night my dad came out to the van and jumped the battery with his pick up truck. He told me the battery was not grounded correctly. The battery was replaced that Sunday.
Millie ended up selling the Mazda 6 but then promised me a Chrysler Pacifica. I couldn't test drive the Pacifica because it was getting worked on. I told my landlord at the time about JB so she could get a van for her daycare. As she was there speaking with Manny, she asked about the Chrysler and he said "Oh, you don't want that, it has a bad transmission." Every time I inquired about the Pacifica, I was told they were still working on the financing and nothing is wrong with it. Each visit I had to JB, the Chrysler was in the garage or hooked up to a battery charger. At this almost a month has gone by. I never received one phone call about the financing or approval; however, I received 2 letters stating that I was approved. Each time I asked about this, I was given different bogus responses.
It appeared to be an issue with getting approval so about 2 weeks after taking the van home, I provided Millie with a letter from the IRS showing I paid an almost $6000 debt that was on my credit in hopes it would help the process. I was again assured that Millie's sister, who handles the financing, would get to work on it asap.
Needless to say, the Chrysler Pacifica was sold as was the other 2 cars I was promised. At this point its been about 2 months and there has been no change or word about anything. I believe it was the week of April 21st, I visited Millie again. Completely fed up, I asked her how much I was approved for since her excuse consistently was that the bank wasn't giving them enough money for the vehicles she was trying to put me in. Although she had told me previously, she all of a sudden didn't know the amount I was approved for. When she asked her sister about the amount, she stated that I was denied from the beginning due to the $6000 debt, which I had provided a letter showing it was paid in February. I became upset because it was obvious at this point that they had not been working on my loan and Millie admitted that I wasn't priority. She then stated that there was a Jeep Cherokee on the lot that she could get me in, if I gave her $500. I noticed that the jeep was $2000 down. Since she told the bank I gave her $1500, she wanted and additional $500. My question to her was how did she know I needed another $500 if she didn't know the amount I was approved for AND how do I not already have the $500 if my payments were going towards another car? She proceeded to tell me how much money I actually put down and how it wasn't enough to get into what I wanted. I extremely upset and told her that if that were the case she should have never accepted my money and promised all the things she did and I could have went somewhere else. I continued to try and get answers, including asking what she had on the lot that she could put me in at that moment other than the raggedy van. I got no answer which let me know she never intended on putting me in anything else, nor had they been working on my loan. Millie was clearly agitated and refused to speak to me any longer, but had Manny pull me outside, away from other customers, to speak to me. He promised me he would have Millie's sister work on it and I wasn't going to have to put down the full $500, just make the payment I missed while I was on my honeymoon and the payment that was coming up. He assured me that someone would call me the next day. I never heard from them again.
I moved out the city so when my payment was due that Friday, I decided to just wait until Monday, mind you, I had never been late or missed a payment besides the one back in March when I was on my honeymoon. By Sunday morning I was receiving calls from my references saying that JB was going to get my license suspended if I didn't bring them the car by that night, they provided personal information, told how much I was paying, when I made my last payment, which was the previous due date, and was very disrespectful. I know 2 people personally who are months behind with JB and they did not act this way with them. They supposedly have a reputation of being very lenient and working with people. I guess that wasn't the case with me because I began asking questions that Millie could not answer. I feel I was scammed from the beginning. I do believe Millie works with a representative at Auto Binder AA Auto, Home & Commercial Insurance INC at 9645 E Colonial Dr Orlando, FL 32817 and they have a way to suspend drivers license. I do know that I was on auto pay and just found out that my payment didn't go through in April or May, although after it didn't go through in March I made sure it would come out. I haven't checked yet, but Im pretty sure when I do, I will have a suspended drivers license.
As of May 19th, JB has recovered their van but I will not go down without a fight. I do know their other location has recently been on the news and now this location needs to be exposed for falsifying bank loans and selling cars that they know have major issues.

BBC Kenya-based reporter Karen Allen is happy that the problem of Somali piracy, and the underlying problem of Somalia as a failed state, has been brought to the fore by the recent Maersk Alabama hostage crisis. But -- and you knew there was a but coming -- she complains that the approach favored by Americans may well be too "bellicose":
The downside, though, is the bellicose way in which the Americans have pledged to sort the piracy problem out.
No-one seemed that bothered when it was just Filipinos, Indians and Egyptians being held.
Now there appears to be a sort of "hostage jingoism" - at least, that is the view from many observers here on the ground.
The worry is that it could very easily be exploited by some in Somalia to stoke up yet more anti-American sentiment.
So there you have it. Americans only care when Americans are at stake, and as usual our instincts are bound to escalate the violence and worsen the problem, not improve it.
Perhaps Allen has forgetten that the French navy has also been "bellicose" in its use of special forces to stop pirates, and last December the Indian navy took action which resulted in the arrest of 23 pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
Allen closed her article by offering up the hopes and dreams of the Kenyan people on President Obama and his liberal approach to foreign policy, particularly in neighboring Somalia:
People here hope that with President Obama now in charge, the approach will be more constructive - policies designed to restore security, stability and fresh opportunities in war-torn Somalia - rather than blasting it with military might either directly or through proxies like Ethiopia.
That Somali pirates had the temerity to attack another US ship just days after the Alabama was seized, is bound to make that a much harder argument to win.
But with President Obama's African roots - his father was Kenyan - many here believe there is now the best chance ever to steer this Horn of African state towards stability.

The Class War will make you forget the Iraq War
Outsourcing jobs to countries ruled by dictators has destroyed entire industries, occupations and communities in the United States. The devastation of U.S. manufacturing employment was waved away with promises that a "new economy" based on high-tech knowledge jobs would take its place. Education and retraining were touted as the answer.
Prior to the Reagan Revolution, American workers had nothing to fear from cheap labor abroad. Americans worked with superior capital, technology and business organization. This made Americans far more productive than Indians and Chinese, and, as it was not possible for U.S. firms to substitute cheaper foreign labor for U.S. labor, American jobs and living standards was not threatened by low wages abroad or by the products that these low wages produced.
As the tidal wave of job losses and home foreclosures continue to grow, there will be growing desperation that will result in many more burglaries, muggings, and other forms of crimes.
The simple solution is to place a 100% tariff on imports from dictator run countries while new factories are constructed here to manufacture those goods with American labor. A government loan guarantee for all lenders who received the TARP welfare that committed capital to rebuild American manufacturing would jolt a construction boom followed by the staffing of those companies.
Only a third party dedicated to job protection can work. I am a pro labor, pro trade protection, pro bank regulation capitalist economist who worked for Manufacturers Hanover, EF Hutton, and Echlin Inc. I am also an expert trader of derivatives with four decades experience. There is not a glimmer of hope to form a third party. Much more pain for much longer will be needed before the daily dose of Obama's propaganda will end its spell on the clueless.
Each financial institution that failed to finance the American rebuilding would be required to return the TARP funds on a four month deadline.
There has been a class war by the super elite and the government they bribe to exploit foreign workers by the dictators who use police and military force. As a consequence American workers are exploited when entire corporate divisions shut down in America to profit from foreign dictators who force their citizens to work for crumbs.
The self destructive trade policy by Democrats and Republicans is induced by the bribery system our Congress has written into law. The intimidation of the media and TV commentators by corporate financed economists has stifled every whimper that squeals with indignation for "free trade".
Jeff Faux was the founder of, and is now distinguished fellow at, the Economic Policy Institute. His latest book is The Global Class War. Dr. Faux said this,
"For two decades, leaders of both political parties have assured members of Congress and the public that de-regulating imports and exports would make the typical American working family richer. It was said to be Economics 101: Americans were better educated and harder-working than other workers and had access to the world's best technology. Therefore, they could easily overcome both the advantages of cheaper wages in poorer countries and the government subsidies for health care and pensions in other advanced economies. Indeed, free trade was said to be "win-win" for workers all over. Americans would go up the wage ladder and workers elsewhere would get jobs on the bottom rungs.
When skilled blue-collar jobs started going overseas, policy elites told workers that they -- or their children anyway -- would get better jobs providing services in the new "information economy." Then the call centers, computer programming jobs, and routine technical positions of that very economy left the country too. Soon, accounting, design engineering, and radiology work began to be shipped overseas to places where college graduates could be hired for less than half the U.S. price."
Foreign auto companies opened facilities here and employ American workers. That is the model that proves the point.
There is no anger by voters to form a third party dedicated to protect American jobs. Maybe when millions more workers lose their jobs and homes and the 2010 elections get closer American voters might awaken. For now the promises by Obama will keep hope for futility alive.

I could write a list of Obama's lies but it wouldn't do any good here. He has you hoping for change. Howard Zinn knows there's a class war.

This post has been sponsored by CTFK, however all opinions are 100% my own.
When I was 15 I started smoking. Back in the 80's, you were just not cool if you didn't smoke. Little did I know when I lit up that first cigarette that I would have an 11 year battle with nicotine hanging over my head. For those 11 years, I smoked a lot — but somewhere around the age of 25 or 26, when I started going to church — I decided that I didn't want to smoke anymore.
On the day of my last cigarette, I put them down — but the fight afterward was the worst I had ever had in my life. Nicotine — a horrible drug, was coursing through my veins and did not want to let go for any reason. But I fought — and fought hard and eventually I won over all the urges and withdrawals I was having.
I am here to tell you that smoking is NOT all that it is cracked up to be.
Let's Teach our Kids How to Kick Butt
Did you know?
Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States, killing 480,000 people and costing the nation at least $289 billion in health care bills and other economic losses each year.
The United States is marking the 50th anniversary of the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, and a new Surgeon General's report found that smoking is even more hazardous than previously thought. The report found that without urgent action to reduce smoking, 5.6 million U.S. children alive today will die prematurely from smoking-caused deaths. That includes 119,000 children in Kentucky alone.
In particular, tobacco companies target youth with magazine ads, store ads and discounts, and fruit- and candy-flavored small cigars that look just like cigarettes. In Kentucky, 24.1 percent of high school students smoke and 5,400 kids become new daily smokers each year. Nationally, 18.1 percent of high school students still smoke.
I'm standing with CVS
I am really proud of CVS for taking a stand to stop selling tobacco products in their store. So much of my life and the lives of my family have been effected by this horrendous drug. In fact, my own mother died from COPD that she got from smoking for so many years. It started out as emphysema, but because she would not stop smoking when the doctor asked her to, it turned into a disease that eventually took her life.
Because of the boldness of CVS, I am standing with them — and you can too — if you feel passionate about it.
Join us on March 19th
If you are one who is standing with CVS, visit their store and print out this cool poster. Snap a photo of yourself holding the poster saying this —
[Tweet ""I #StandWithCVS on #KickButtsDay to #MakeTobaccoHistory @CVS_Extra""]
Then tweet it to them, Instagram it to them, or post it on their Facebook page — they would love to know that you are behind them!

In Case You Ever Wanted To Watch Me Fuck, There's A Pornstar That Looks An Awful Lot Like Me
I take a lot of flack around here. And that's fine, it's the life I signed up for. But I think it's time to stop calling me ugly. Because this dude fucks for a living and he's basically my twin. And he's no small potatoes pornstar, he's a Brazzers dude. He's a hotshot. He sleeps with the hottest women in porn. His job is to be professionally sexy. And who does he look like? Me. Aside from being in shape/having a big dick/not having breasts, me and Levi Cash are the same person. So say what you will about my personality, but don't call me ugly. Because now we have living proof that I'm hot as hell. If someone is professionally hot and a person looks just like him then that person can't be called ugly. It would be like saying someone with the same skills as MJ sucks at basketball. You're just ignoring the facts and being a hater for haters sake.
Esime Lee agrees. Maybe I'm not "her type" but I am a walking Ken doll and I'm also pretty sure we're like best friends now. Just gotta seal it with some cunnilingus.
Jayden Lee agrees too (Yes, kind of weird that both pornstars that got back to me are named Lee. But I feel like there are tons of Lees in porn, just like real life).
PS – If I had to choose a "good side" it would not be "under my chins."

you also know there will some real sad sacks up in there
buy us out own team and put it somewhere on the Gulf Coast
Come on Benson, buy us out own team and put it somewhere on the Gulf Coast. Iowa is too far and we have to share with 4! Other teams.
I might run by and show off a few of my deadly post moves
There currently isn't much benefit to having your own teams besides controlling the coaching staff. I suspect the next CBA changes, which should happen in 2017, will provide more benefits to having a DLeague team, like giving you exclusive rights to players you're developing
Don't teams who solely own a D League team already have that right?
How do D-Leaguers make the jump to the NBA?
A call-up occurs when a player is signed by an NBA team. An NBA team is allowed to sign any D-League player as long as they are eligible to play in the NBA under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). However, an NBA team cannot call-up a player whose draft rights are still held by another NBA team. A D-League player is usually signed to a 10-day contract, a short term contract which expires after 10 days. A player can only sign two 10-day contracts with the same team in one season. If the team wants to retain the player after the second 10-day contract expired, the team must sign the player for the remainder of the season.
If the league is now subsidizing the SportVU camera tracking technology for all 30 teams, I would imagine they have something in mind for the D League in the next CBA.

The Case of the Deadly Ring: An Alexander Steele Investigation HTML version
Alexander Steele and the Case of the Deadly Ring
By Lawrence Johnson Sr.
Fatal Encounter
Street savvy, private investigator Alexander Steele wants to put his P.I days behind him.
Steele wants to focus on running his exclusive night spot called Inner Sanctum. Over the years
his grit, tenacity and eye for detail has kept him at the top of his game. The Philly detective has
solved dangerous cases from Montreal to Mexico but a new challenge is on the horizon.
It was a typical spring morning in the city of brotherly love. The sun was shining, the
birds were singing and the trees have begun to bloom. Alexander Steele wore dark jeans and a
gray sweatshirt with the sleeves pushed up. He carefully sipped his blue mug of hot coffee as he
watched people headed to work and school from the oval shaped window at the back booth
inside his club. This was normally the time he would spend each morning catching up on the
latest news but the paperboy was late again. Steele had just defeated his most formidable foe
Chameleon. He sat quietly reflecting on his latest near death experience and wondering how
long the peace and tranquility would last. Before the day ended he would have his answer.
Sugar Bear was the manager of Steele's Club Inner Sanctum. The dark skinned man with
the stocky build and friendly smile looked excited as he walked towards Steele's booth with a
copy of the latest Philadelphia Inquirer.
"Hey boss, check this out." Steele attempted to wave him off but Sugar Bear was
persistent. He slid into the booth opposite Steele and pointed to Steele's horoscope.
Sugar Bear and Steele had been friends since childhood, and every since that time Sugar
Bear had been attracted to anything odd or unusual.
Steele sighed, "Look Sugar Bear first it was space ships, then the disappearance of Jimmy
Hoffa, after that Crop Circles and now it's this." Steele pointed to the paper. His disbelief didn't
deter his friend from giving Steele the celestial news update.
"Listen to this boss, a stranger from a distant land will enter your life. He will seek out
your counsel on matters of health or religion," Steele snickered as he shook his head.
"Sugar Bear, would you please give it up? Those things are never right." Sugar Bear's
mood was deflated.
"Well, here's you paper. Just wait till December 21, 2012 comes. We'll see who's right
Later that evening the club was packed with the usual after work crowd. Inner Sanctum's
decor was a welcoming eclectic mix of today modern style combined with the elegance of the
old style night spots of the sixties. Various shades of dark reds, blues, medium grays, and a
touch of steel gave the club warmth, style and originality that made people feel at home. The
lower level was referred to as Sanctuary. Comfy, dark, oversize couches lined the walls while
pool and chess tables filled the rest of the downstairs area.
Both the AC and music was on full blast. Stan and Brenda were sitting in his back booth
with Steele. The two men amused themselves by watching Brenda stuffing lipstick and other
cosmetics into a small plastic bag inside her pocketbook. When she was just about through
Steele noticed the blue flashing light on the wall.
It was a phone call from Leroy the gate keeper at the front door of the exclusive club.
"Mr. Steele there's someone here to see you. He says it's urgent but he won't give me his name.
He says he came all the way from Italy." Steel's mind immediately jumped back to the
conversation he had that morning with Sugar Bear.

There is a particularly cruel form of self-torture that I subject myself to pretty regularly. It's painful every time, and I swear I'm never going to do it again. Yet yesterday it happened once again, and I'm not sure if I'll recover.
I'm talking about reading the class updates in the college alumni magazine.
Sure, it was only a little hard in the beginning. Reading about classmates going to medical school and Wall Street and the Peace Corps. I had a good job, that was interesting to me.
Then the years came when the column was full of marriages and promotions. Books were written, businesses started. I had a better job, but nothing exciting. I hadn't met Prince Charming yet.
Later came the news that classmates were the heads of their departments at hospitals, and partners at law firms, and parents. I got married at age 30 to my own Prince Charming - an alumni of our rival school.
This month when I opened it up, I read the most shocking stage of all.
Some of my classmates now have children enrolled at our school.
How is this possible? I don't feel any older. And I feel like I just paid off my student loans last month. I guess I've been out of school longer than I thought.
So today I am feeling not only mediocre, but painfully old.
I've really got to stop reading this thing.

See, that's the benefit of being an older student (they liked to call us "non-traditional" - doesn't that sound better than "old farts"?) at a HUGE school. I knew virtually NO ONE in my class. They were all about 15 years younger than me. So I could give a shit about their sad little lives. I rock!

December 19, 2011
The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, owner and producer of the 2012 International CES®, today announced the adoption of several new sustainability practices at the 2012 CES, the world's largest technology tradeshow, to be held in Las Vegas January 10-13.
New this year, attendee badge holders are made from repurposed vinyl show banners from last year's show, and CEA will collect those badge holders at the end of the 2012 CES to recycle them again. Furthermore, CES general services contractor Global Experience Specialists (GES) will produce signs using a reusable, recyclable kraft paper honeycomb material. CEA will also seek to collect even more magnetic, vinyl and cardboard show signs for repurposing through a partnership with Repurpose America, a local nonprofit focusing on tradeshow recycling.
Last Year, Repurpose America collected roughly 18,000 pounds of magnetic signs from the 2011 CES, nearly 15,000 square feet of vinyl banners and more than 150 foam boards. In addition, CEA worked with contractors to recycle 289.6 tons of the solid waste generated at CES and increased the event's recycle rate from 68 percent to 77 percent, several points higher than the average recycle rate of trade shows held at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
"Our green and recycling efforts at the 2012 International CES are unprecedented for the largest annual event in the western hemisphere, covering more than 1.8 million square feet and welcoming more than140,000 attendees," said Gary Shapiro, CEA president and CEO. "We've worked hard to ensure that we are using the latest and greatest sustainability practices in producing CES."
Along with the greening of the International CES, CEA also supports local green nonprofits. Last year, CEA gave $75,000 to Green Chips, a local Las Vegas charity supporting solar power installations. That money was used to install solar panels at a Las Vegas non-profit facility, resulting in substantial savings that allowed the organization to devote more money to serve those in need. CEA plans to make another donation benefiting Las Vegas and the environment at the 2012 International CES.
The International CES also allows attendees to reduce their carbon footprint by gathering in one location. With each attendee reporting an average of 12 business meetings per CES, CES participants collectively avoid more than 960 million miles in business trips that they otherwise would have to take. As a result of attending CES and consolidating trips, the estimated net savings in travel is more than 549 million miles.
For more information on sustainable materials used at the 2012 International CES and other information on the greening of CES, please go to: www.CESweb.org/green.

Asian stocks dip as sterling's brief plunge unsettles traders
On Friday, market worries sent Asian stocks down during early trade, as increasingly heated speculation over Britain's exit from the EU saw the sterling plunging against the major American currency.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average sank 0.3%, Australian S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.3% too. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong the Hang Seng Index sagged 0.5% and the same result was demonstrated by Korean Kospi. Chinese markets weren't available because of the Golden Week holiday.

In Hong Kong, shares with large exposure to Britain went down, reacting to the sterling's precipitous descend. Additionally, banking giant HSBC lost 0.9%, while Standard Chartered Bank dipped 1.7%.

Considering the advances in polymers, I doubt it will be all that long before a reliable and durable barrel is made in some form of "plastic". Of course, it would be easy enough to avoid the issue for now with some form of sleeve, inside of the barrel.
This is almost deja vu all over again! (Thank you, Yogi Berra)
In the 1950s a company named Armalite built an automatic rifle called the AR10 with a thin steel barrel inside some kind of carbon-fiber like material.
In testing, it blew the end of the barrel out. So they went to all steel, and were asked to go for a cartridge called the 5.56 in the AR15 and, well, you know the rest of the story...

From sporting legends to Hollywood stars and royalty, they are all flocking to London to be part of what is billed the Greatest Show on Earth.
And as the countdown to London 2012 reaches its climax, organisers look to have landed the biggest name of all in boxing hero Muhammad Ali.
With Olympic fever now gripping the country, bosses revealed the 70-year-old, who has Parkinson's disease but is still full of incredible spirit, is poised to take centre stage at Friday's opening ceremony at the stadium in East London.
He had been asked to lead a parade of sporting greats that will include David Beckham and distance running legend Haile Gebrselassie.
Movie A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Posh and Becks are all due to attend Olympic charity events this week.
America's First Lady Michelle Obama will be at the opening night and is to meet 1,000 kids at a London event. She said the visit was a "dream come true".
But landing Ali, who carried the Olympic Torch at the Atlanta Games in 1996, represents a major coup for organisers.
They asked the ring legend, now in London for the Games build up, "several months" ago if he'd take part.
A source said: "The idea is to get a parade of stars for the opening ceremony and Ali would undoubtedly be the greatest star of all.
"There is a question mark over him purely because of his health. He is frail, but would love to be involved. He has great affection for Britain.
"It would bring back memories of Ali lighting the Olympic flame at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, one of the great Olympic moments.
"But it would also give us the chance to get the greatest Olympians of all time involved."
Ali, who won gold at the Rome Games in 1960, will be guest of honour at a party held at Victoria and Albert museum tomorrow night.
Plans for the opening ceremony, directed by Oscar-winning Danny Boyle, are a big secret.
But US basketball legend Michael Jordan, British rowing great Sir Steven Redgrave, gymnasts Larisa Latynina – the most successful Olympian ever with 18 medals – Nadia Comaneci, Olga Korbut, and swimmers Mark Spitz and Michael Phelps could all play a part in the star-studded spectacle.
The Royal Family announced plans to visit a series of events, including the opening ceremony, which will be launched by the Queen.
Princess Anne is being tipped as a contender to light the cauldron at the event. Organisers want a former Olympian to have the honour.
The Princess Royal took part in equestrian in the Montreal Games in 1976 and is also president of the British Olympic Association.
A source said: "Although organisers have yet to make their final decision, they are believed to be keen for her to play a prominent role."
Others being considered include Sir Steve, Sir Roger Bannister, Daley Thompson, and Dame Kelly Holmes.
Lord Coe yesterday insisted he would not let his close friendship with Thompson influence the decision.
He added: "I am not pushing one person over another."
Beckham took part in a series of events yesterday, including an online Q&A session with fans.
Despite not making the Team GB football team, the former England skipper has said he would love to be involved in the Games.
Organiser Lord Coe has pledged to find him a role.

As students get ready to head back to school this September, the University of British Columbia is stepping up its safety measures on campus.
"The origins of the working group and this report are the six sexual assaults that happened between April and October last year, but it broadened out, because we thought it was a very good moment to look more comprehensively at what we are doing across campus in terms of safety and security."
Ben Goold, UBC law professor and member of the campus safety working group, says an increase in security cameras is still in the works, but other visible changes will be made by the time students arrive.
"Strengthening the lighting and landscaping around campus to make sure that paths and access points are as well lit as possible, we are also strengthening our student support at AMS Safewalk program."

Has anyone tried this - I keep getting "Not enough memory" failures.
Has anyone tried this - I keep getting "Not enough memory" failures.
I've done it but wondered why it was needed as the SGS has never needed it for me (seems to have plenty of space). My poor friends with an HTC desire have to move everything to SD or they can't load any apps. Very bad design flaw of the HTC desire.
I agree. I don't have anything moved, have far too many apps installed and still have only filled half the space available.
I could be wrong, I usually am. (Because it's only a phone)
OnePlus One : Galaxy Tab2 10.1
I have the same question as ngwagwa. Why can't I move my Apps to SD Card. I get a similar failure message ("Failed to move application. Not enough memory") when I try to move Apps to SD card.
And there is enough space on my internal USB storage.

The company is calling the calendar "30 Days of Pinspiration," driving home its efforts to differentiate itself from other social networks through its focus on inspirational, rather than informational, content.
Each day, Pinterest will unveil a board belonging to a celebrity, brand or nonprofit that focuses on inspiration.
The first board is Katie Couric's on Thanksgiving traditions.
The calendar will also feature boards from the NBA, Jordan Ferney of Oh Happy Day, Paula Deen and the U.S. Marine Corps, according to Pinterest.

- - new California tax? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/97528-new-california-tax.html)
new California tax?
We have been told that if a Canadian sailboat is in California on January 1st that it will be taxed 1% of it's value or a lien will be put on it. Does anyone know anything about this?
Re: new California tax?
First I heard of it - you should consider calling a few brokers and see it they know anything. Then let us know :-)
Re: new California tax?
The 1% is the California State personal property tax. The rate is fixed by the state, but the tax is collected by the county. Where the boat is located on January 1st determines which county collects the tax.
Re: new California tax?
A personal property tax normally is applied only to personal property owned by a citizen or resident of the taxing jurisdiction. The OP didn't say anything about residency, he said a Canadian boat, which would imply a Canadian-flagged vessel in transit visiting California waters under a cruising permit, and exempt from all local taxes.
Unless the OP forgot to mention something.
Re: new California tax?
I hope they mean if the boat has been in the state for a certain amount of time. As cash strapped as Cali is though.. I can see them making a grab for any amount of money.. even if the boat has only been in state a week
Re: new California tax?
California collects personal property tax on every boat that resides in the State, regardless of residency. So if the boat is docked or moored in California on January 1st, and has been there over 90 days, you get a tax bill. Of course the dock walkers will assume any boat that they see has been there longer then the 90 days and the local county will send a bill. The owner then has to appeal.
Re: new California tax?
You can appeal but the bill must be paid first before they will hear the appeal
Re: new California tax?
Windward, foreign-flagged boats, which have been allowed into the US on a limited cruising permit, are exempted from US state vessel registration and taxation laws, AFAIK.
To discuss a "Canadian" boat, which ordinarily means Canadian-flagged and present in the US under a federal cruising permit, as if it were a domestic vessel, is misleading at best. I'd be certain that California can't tax foreigners or foreign vessels that way, the States are legally barred from doing many things when it comes to foreign people and places. And vessels.
Some nimrod with a summons pad might issue one, but who's he going to issue it to? A Canadian national that he can't enforce a summons on?
All pointless if the OP doesn't come back and fill in the rest of the blanks.
Re: new California tax?
How exactly would they put a lien on a boat that doesn't have a state registration on it, just a (in this case) set of Canadian numbers - or in the case of (for example) my USCG boat that does not display state numbers, just a sticker saying I paid my Maryland registration?
I mean, they have no name, no address etc..
Re: new California tax?
in any county run marina you are not going to get a slip unless the boat registration, insurance and users ID match up so they will have a place to send you the bill. also will be responsible for the property tax on the slip you are now renting from the county. this is all disclosed when you sign up for a slip. this does not apply to overnight stays less then 90 days.

A Texas Matchmaker HTML version
XX. Shadows
Spring was now at hand after an unusually mild winter. With the breaking of the
drouth of the summer before there had sprung up all through the encinal and
sandy lands an immense crop of weeds, called by the natives _margoso_, fallow-
weed. This plant had thriven all winter, and the cattle had forsaken the best
mesquite grazing in the river bottoms to forage on it. The results showed that
their instinct was true; for with very rare exceptions every beef on the ranch was
fit for the butcher's block. Truly it was a year of fatness succeeding a lean one.
Never during my acquaintance with Las Palomas had I seen the cattle come
through a winter in such splendid condition. But now there was no market. Faint
rumors reached us of trail herds being put up in near-by counties, and it was
known that several large ranches in Nueces County were going to try the
experiment of sending their own cattle up the trail. Lack of demand was
discouraging to most ranchmen, and our range was glutted with heavy steer
The first spring work of any importance was gathering the horses to fill a contract
we had with Captain Byler. Previous to the herd which Deweese had sold and
delivered at Fort Worth the year before, our horse stock had amounted to about
four thousand head. With the present sale the ranch holdings would be much
reduced, and it was our intention to retain all _manadas_ used in the breeding of
mules. When we commenced gathering we worked over every one of our sixty
odd bands, cutting out all the fillies and barren mares. In disposing of whole
_manadas_ we kept only the geldings and yearlings, throwing in the old stallions
for good measure, as they would be worthless to us when separated from their
harems. In less than a week's time we had made up the herd, and as they were
all in the straight 'horse hoof' we did not road-brand them. While gathering them
we put them under day and night herd, throwing in five _remudas_ as we had
agreed, but keeping back the bell mares, as they were gentle and would be
useful in forming new bands of saddle horses. The day before the appointed time
for the delivery, the drover brought up saddle horses and enough picked mares
to make his herd number fifteen hundred.
The only unpleasant episode of the sale was a difference between Theodore
Quayle and my employer. Quayle had cultivated the friendship of the drover until
the latter had partially promised him a job with the herd, in case there was no
objection. But when Uncle Lance learned that Theodore expected to accompany
the horses, he took Captain Frank to task for attempting to entice away his men.
The drover entered a strong disclaimer, maintaining that he had promised Quayle
a place only in case it was satisfactory to all concerned; further, that in trail work
with horses he preferred Mexican vaqueros, and had only made the conditional
promise as a favor to the young man. Uncle Lance accepted the explanation and
apologized to the drover, but fell on Theodore Quayle and cruelly upbraided him
for forsaking the ranch without cause or reason. Theodore was speechless with

Missing Man Neal King Last Seen at Site of Drug Deal
OROVILLE, Calif. - A botched marijuana deal could be the clue that helps investigators learn the whereabouts of a man missing for more than two weeks.
He's Neal King: 24 years old, 5' 11", about 125 pounds, with green eyes and red hair.
Butte County investigators say King was last seen at 4001 Hildale Avenue in Oroville.
Neighbors said they call it "the pot house" because the overwhelming scent of marijuana permeates the area during the grow season.
King was also trying to purchase 12 acres of land with a Las Vegas man.
King's mother is working with detectives on new leads. She said they are making progress.
The Cort Jones Project in Redding is putting out fliers to help locate Neal King.

Ripoff Report

FTDNA Customer Service Failure Houston Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
FTDNA (Family Tree DNA) hosts a plethora of Projects by surname. One of these Projects is the so-called "Fuller DNA Project." Each Project has an Administrator. Getting into the Fuller DNA Project is impossible since the Administrator seems to have better things to do than administrate. Complaining to FTDNA about this problem yields zero results.... They (FTDNA Customer Service) appears to be powerless in its oversight of the Administrator of the Fuller DNA Project. Furthermore, FTDNA Customer Service is anything but "customer service." You are lucky to get a timely response from them, and despite the above problem having festered since January of 2013 (at least), they have yet to resolve it. In short, they Fail; where "they" are both the Administrator of the Fuller DNA Project and FTDNA Customer Service itself.
Needless to say, my experience over the course of the past 4 months has been very frustrating, very angering, incredibly time-wasting, and all of it due to what can only be described as supreme incompetence on the part of the Adminstrator of the Fuller DNA Project as well as FTDNA itself where, by definition, the buck stops. I have never encountered any service as bad as this.

SUBMITTED: Friday, May 10, 2013POSTED: Friday, May 10, 2013
Family Tree DNA allows volunteers to administer their surname DNA projects and they also allow them to do so with much flexibility in how the projects are administered. As the founder and volunteer administrator for the Fuller DNA Project, I have had a project website since its inception in 2004:
The DNA results used to be publicly displayed but when someone tried to exploit the results in the Fuller DNA Project for other purposes, I made the results private to protect the participants. I do not yet know of a way of publicly displaying the results without putting the participants at risk for exploitation by other entities/persons.
I have NOT received any correspondence from a "Theodore" and perhaps this person is one who also wishes to exploit the project. That would be my guess since "Theodore" is using a public forum to air their gripes and has NOT tested NOR contacted me. Additionally, why is "Theodore" trying to throw Family Tree DNA under the bus? Is it because their customer service department is NOT doing what "Theodore" *thinks* they should be doing?
Until "Theodore" contacts me or their complaint can be legitimized by Family Tree DNA, their supposed rip-off report should be removed. Thank you.

August 2010 Willie's WorkbenchPosted in Features on August 1, 2010 Comment (0)
How many of you four wheelers out there pull trailers? I once owned five, ranging from a military Jeep trailer to a 35-foot fifth wheel. Now I am down to three. They all have something in common-they've all been pulled off-road. A few years ago (well, actually, a long time ago), my family-wife, three kids, and the dog-and I were pulling the fifth-wheel trailer and three ATVs around northern Nevada mining ruins in the snow. We stopped to ask directions from a hunter driving a CJ with chains. He couldn't believe we'd come over that road.
The point here is that a trailer doesn't have to be left behind just because the road gets a bit rough. However, not just any trailer is up to being towed off-road. You have to do your homework first. Prep for the trailer is the same as for your 4x4-heavy-duty axle, spindles, shocks, and coupler. Bigger tires (I generally try to match the size and bolt pattern to my tow vehicle) are a genuine asset. Lots of spring travel and sufficient ground clearance are musts.
The perfect off-road trailer has to be the military-style "jeep" trailer. These are short-coupled trailers that have a large heavy-duty axle. They can generally be equipped with decent-sized tires to match those on the tow vehicle, they have a sturdy box, and-best of all-they have a pivoting pintle coupler. You can cuss them all day for the "slam-bam" noises they create, but no other coupler equals them in true off-road situations. I know people who have turned their "Jeep" trailers completely over, with no damage to the tow vehicle and little trailer damage-and it still remained coupled. I've also known people who've turned over utility trailers with a ball coupler, resulting in bent frames and broken couples, balls, and hitches.
Agreed, not everyone wants a pintle-hitch coupler. One of my own camping trailers used a ball coupler, but I did things a bit differently. I used a 25/16-inch ball and a coupler rated at 7,000 pounds with a 11/4-inch-diameter shank. That's a bit of overkill, but I did it not for the capacity but for the better articulation I could put on the trailer tongue because of the ball's larger size. I also went one step further by modifying the trailer ball. I used a 1-inch extended height ball with the extension area turned down to the same diameter as the main shank.
Granted, the ball's maximum capacity is lost, but there's still plenty left for the weight of the trailer. This extra clearance allows the hitch to pivot a considerable amount more without binding. Some rough measurements comparing a 2-inch ball and coupler and my modified 25/16-inch ball and coupler indicated about 15 degrees of additional angularity. That may not sound like much, but that additional 15 degrees can make the difference between a bent or broken coupler and an enjoyable off-road trip.
Another important point that goes along with the coupler is the hitch itself. It should be of the receiver type with the proper drop to match the trailer tongue height so that the trailer is level. The receiver should be mounted to the frame-not the bumper-as high as possible. With the hitch removed, little ground clearance is lost. Note again that the receiver should be attached directly to the vehicle's frame. Sure, that heavy-duty bumper may supposedly support 500 pounds of tongue weight, but that's for highway use. Under heavy four-wheeling loads, that tongue weight, because of leverage factors, can get multiplied several times over. (We speak from experience-stock bumper brackets just don't do it.) A lot of custom and aftermarket receivers mount to both the vehicle's frame and to the bumper. These are great because both hitch and bumper benefit.
Trailer balls: use a one-piece ball that's rated for the total weight being towed. Trailer balls come in 17/8-, 2-, 25/16-, and 3-inch sizes. Who originally decided on these sizes, we'll never know. The most common is the 2-inch size. Forget about using two-piece balls. The two-piece ball is made of a cast material with a steel center bolt, and it doesn't have anything near the strength of a one-piece machined ball. The two-piece units are actually illegal in some states.
Not only does the diameter of the ball determine its capacity, but shank length, shank diameter, and ball rise all need to be taken into account, as well as whether the ball is cold-formed machined or hot-forged. The longer the shank (threaded portion) or taller the rise (the distance from the flange to the top of the ball), the less capacity available per given diameter. All 17/8-inch balls are rated at 2,000 pounds and generally have a 3/4-inch-diameter shank about 11/2 inches long, or are one inch in diameter with a 2-inch-long shank. The common 2-inch ball is rated between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, again depending on the aforementioned factors. Shank diameters are usually 3/4 or one inch. The 25/16-inch balls use a 1-, 11/4-, or 13/8-inch-diameter shank and are rated between 5,000 and 30,000 pounds. The 3-inch ball used with "gooseneck" trailers has a 2-inch shank and a 20,000 pound rating.
Because of the various factors involved, how do you know the capacity of the ball? The manufacturer stamps the ball's maximum capacity right on top of the ball head. It might not be a bad time to check your ball's capacity. Most likely, you'll find that you're under capacity.
While you're at it, check the capacity of your coupler, which is stamped into the housing. It doesn't make a lot of sense to use a 5,000-pound-rated ball that's hooked to a 3,500-pound coupler. For example, say you trailer your Jeep. It only weighs 3,000 pounds, but the trailer weighs another 1,000 pounds, not to mention any tools, chains and binders, extra gas, and camping gear that may be along for the ride. Having a coupler and ball in the 25/16-inch range now becomes a necessity. What about the safety chain? Is it up to the combined weight in case of a hitch failure?
Next month, we'll tell you a bit more about trailers and talk about brakes and load balance.

Under the Greenwood Tree HTML version
PART I: 4. Going The Rounds
Shortly after ten o'clock the singing-boys arrived at the tranter's house, which was
invariably the place of meeting, and preparations were made for the start. The older men
and musicians wore thick coats, with stiff perpendicular collars, and coloured
handkerchiefs wound round and round the neck till the end came to hand, over all which
they just showed their ears and noses, like people looking over a wall. The remainder,
stalwart ruddy men and boys, were dressed mainly in snow-white smock-frocks,
embroidered upon the shoulders and breasts, in ornamental forms of hearts, diamonds,
and zigzags. The cider-mug was emptied for the ninth time, the music- books were
arranged, and the pieces finally decided upon. The boys in the meantime put the old horn-
lanterns in order, cut candles into short lengths to fit the lanterns; and, a thin fleece of
snow having fallen since the early part of the evening, those who had no leggings went to
the stable and wound wisps of hay round their ankles to keep the insidious flakes from
the interior of their boots.
Mellstock was a parish of considerable acreage, the hamlets composing it lying at a much
greater distance from each other than is ordinarily the case. Hence several hours were
consumed in playing and singing within hearing of every family, even if but a single air
were bestowed on each. There was Lower Mellstock, the main village; half a mile from
this were the church and vicarage, and a few other houses, the spot being rather lonely
now, though in past centuries it had been the most thickly-populated quarter of the parish.
A mile north-east hay the hamlet of Upper Mellstock, where the tranter lived; and at other
points knots of cottages, besides solitary farmsteads and dairies.
Old William Dewy, with the violoncello, played the bass; his grandson Dick the treble
violin; and Reuben and Michael Mail the tenor and second violins respectively. The
singers consisted of four men and seven boys, upon whom devolved the task of carrying
and attending to the lanterns, and holding the books open for the players. Directly music
was the theme, old William ever and instinctively came to the front.
"Now mind, neighbours," he said, as they all went out one by one at the door, he himself
holding it ajar and regarding them with a critical face as they passed, like a shepherd
counting out his sheep. "You two counter-boys, keep your ears open to Michael's
fingering, and don't ye go straying into the treble part along o' Dick and his set, as ye did
last year; and mind this especially when we be in "Arise, and hail." Billy Chimlen, don't
you sing quite so raving mad as you fain would; and, all o' ye, whatever ye do, keep from
making a great scuffle on the ground when we go in at people's gates; but go quietly, so
as to strike up all of a sudden, like spirits."
"Farmer Ledlow's first?"
"Farmer Ledlow's first; the rest as usual."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love my little folding Clover seam ripper. It is made in Germany but Clover is the distributor in the US. I can put it in my pocket and keep going without loosing it.
I have Ginger seam ripper and am not impressed with it. I use small scissors most of the time.
I've never had a problem with the cheapies so that's what I use. :)
Hey, you are in great company. I just watched Eleanor Burns use probably a 45mm rotary cutter to rip her seams out. She stated that her mother used to use razor blades but Eleanor thought the rotary cutter was safer.Originally Posted by Sadiemae
Great minds must think alike! :D :D
I removed a pillow/pocket off of a quillow yesterday but did it with my small (10mm I think) rotary cutter. I use that a lot for ripping. Eleanor Burns of Quilt in a Day does that on her show.
i do have seam rippers but they are difficult as you say.
Oops, there you go!
Oh that's funny hahahaha. I don't have them but I have just about every seam ripper made. I think they all came from Joann's and they do the job!! I do love Gingher scissors though :)Originally Posted by gale
I use this one: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...DID=xprd140434
They don't show the cutting end, but it's like a surgeon's lancet. I can get the smallest of stitches. BTW, I have a Janome and I feel 2.2 is too small for my eyes. I up it to 2.4 and 2.6 on items that aren't getting stress...
I broke the tip of my best seam ripper while using it to pry a hard-to-get-to battery from something -- yeah, I know, but it was near by and I was frustrated. So I replaced it with a relatively expensive one with an ergonomic handle. I don't remember the brand -- the handle is two shades of purple -- it feels good, but it's as dull as a butter knife! I replaced that one with the old standby blue-handled Dritz, but I don't think the blade is as narrow or sharp as my old one.
I use an Exacto knife. I use these for so many things, so I always have one handy. With a new, sharp blade, the stitches come out very easily. The point is tiny if needed for small places.
I still use a rotary cutter at home, but in public I use the eyebrow trimmer. Life is easier when women aren't panicing about the rotary cutter. LOL

Summary:I had a Ping G-2 which served me well for a long time, then went to the G-10 which I found long and straight when you hit it right on 'the screws', but off center hits would hook or slice for a mile !! I went to a Demo day, tried the Callaway, Nike and Taylor Made drivers before the Cleveland caught my eye. None of the other clubs impressed me, and I found the Taylor Made most unforgiving on off center hits. The Cleveland his straight and had a nice carrying loft, and was very unforgiving. I got the regular flex as I am up there in years and my Clubhead speed has really dropped in the last couple of years. At on point I was a 3 handicap, now I just play like I'm handicapped, but the CLeveland is helping me to get to the green with less shots. I would recommend this club to anyone who wants a very forgiving, but long, straight driving weapon !!!
Customer Service:The man running the Demo day watched my swing on told me he thought the CLeveland may help me out, man was he right. My friends were lined up to try my club and a couple have also purchased the 265 Black.

Summary:I was previously using a TaylorMade Burner Superfast driver. During a demo day I tried the Callaway Razr Fit (no big deal) and then I tried the CG Black. It was love at first sight. I ended up with the 9* with a regular flex shaft. I am getting a high piercing trajectory with good roll out and am hitting the longest drives of my life. It seems that the smoother swing you put on it the better it goes. I will get an occasional nasty slice if I get quick and try to hit it hard, but there aren't any drivers that work good with a really bad swing. Longer drives with better accuracy what more could you ask for? Maybe a magic putter?

Summary:I have tried almost every driver on the market. When I first tryout a new driver I never seem to hit the ball straight. I normally hit the first 10-15 drives to the left or right until I make adjustments and get familar with the club. This driver is truly amazing. My first 30 drives were straight down the middle with greater distance than my current driver. To make sure it wasn't a fluke I went to the driving range the next day and I hit every drive just as straight and long as the previous day. If the weather holds up this weekend, I look forward to playing with it for a round or two to see how it really performs. I have no doubt it will do well.
