Yanks notes: Knee lands CC Sabathia on the disabled list
MILWAUKEE – A partial answer to CC Sabathia's pitching woes was revealed Sunday, when the Yankees' lefty was diagnosed with right-knee inflammation.
Sabathia was placed on the 15-day disabled list and is scheduled to have his knee drained today in New York after a second MRI and exam by the club's physician.
The original MRI did not disclose a meniscus tear, giving the Yankees hope that Sabathia would miss only two or three starts. But Sabathia is now the third of the team's five original starters to land on the DL.
"That's why I didn't want to say anything," said Sabathia, who felt some discomfort in his May 4 loss against Tampa Bay and all during Saturday's rocky no-decision at Milwaukee. "But I felt I was doing more damage to the team than helping them."
In 5¤ innings, Sabathia gave up three home runs in a 5-4 Brewers' win. He gave up a combined nine runs on 19 hits in his previous two starts, both home losses.
Sabathia didn't notify the club of his discomfort until after Saturday's game, when his knee began to swell up significantly.
After the 2010 season, Sabathia had surgery to repair a torn right-knee meniscus – the very injury the Yanks feared prior to Sunday's MRI.
"It's a big loss," Derek Jeter said. "But someone else is going to have to step in."
"Obviously, it tests your depth," said manager Joe Girardi, adding that Alfredo Aceves is the leading candidate to replace Sabathia (3-4, 5.28 ERA) in rotation.
The Yanks have lost Ivan Nova for the season (Tommy John surgery) and Michael Pineda (upper back strain) isn't expected to return until early June. Pineda began throwing on flat ground Saturday in Tampa, Fla., without issue.
On Sunday, the Yankees recalled right-handed reliever Matt Daley from Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
PHELPS SHAKY: Starter David Phelps handed back an early 3-0 lead, lasting five innings and yielding four earned runs Sunday.
"I've got to do a better job than that," said Phelps, whose shaky third inning included a leadoff double by pitcher Matt Garza and a balk that put two runners in scoring position.
JETER HONORED: Prior to Sunday's game, Jeter received a gold bat presented by Dick Groch, the scout who signed him out of Michigan's Kalamazoo Central High.
"He's the reason I'm a Yankee," said Jeter, appreciative of the gesture and the crowd's reaction. The Brewers also donated $10,000 to Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation. Jeter acknowledged a standing ovation from Milwaukee fans, which they repeated during his first and final at-bats.

I thought it's about time I should introduce myself. I bought a silver 2002 WRX wagon about a month ago to replace my 1996 Nissan Maxima. So far, she's mostly stock, though I've replaced the brakes with Carbotech slotted rotors and Bobcat pads and I've added front and rear strut bars. Eventually, I'll do some basic bolt-ons, uppipe, downpipe, accessport, etc, but that might wait until next spring since I love the car even as it is now.
I'll post up some pics in a day or two. So far, I've browsed around this forum and it looks like a pretty good place. I've got a lot to learn since I'm new to Subies and boxer engines, so I'll be around doing a lot of reading.

The monitoring sites comprising a state of the environment (SOE) network must be carefully selected to ensure that they will be representative of the broader resource. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) is a data-driven technique that can potentially be employed to assess the representativeness of a SOE monitoring network. The objective of this paper is to explore the use of HCA as an approach for assessing the representativeness of the New Zealand National Groundwater Monitoring Programme (NGMP), which is comprised of 110 monitoring sites across the country.

Ian Somerhalder Shows His Sex Face On 'Watch What Happens Live' [VIDEO]
Ian Somerhalder appeared on Andy Cohen's darling little show along with Catfish creator Nev Schulman.Oh, there was so much goodness coming out of last night's episode of Watch What Happens Live.
The SXSW edition of WWHL took place in front of a live audience, and one fan asked about Somerhalder's modeling days.
What happened next is pure television magic.
So, how did Somerhalder get ready for the camera?
"If you just picture someone that you really are attracted to, that you really would love to have incredibly, wild sexual relations with… imagine that camera is them. And if you're looking at their face, it will come across in your face."
From the mouth of Cohen (to Somerhalder): "Something about you makes me feel more fanciful and beautiful."

"On July 15th, our Board of Directors increased our cumulative share repurchase authorization to $6 billion. Total debt-to-adjusted EBITDA at the end of the second quarter 2014 was 3.5 times, and our $1.25 billion revolving credit was undrawn, leaving us ample liquidity to return capital to shareholders and pursue strategic opportunities as they arise," added Frear.

|Help! I got the door off my Thermador PRG304US range for installation [drops the weight from 1million to just under 1 million pounds] but now I can't figure out how to get it back on: there are two prongs on each side, the upper one spring loaded and the lower one with a little flip up clip on it. Any one know how to do this? BTW I called Thermador and they don't know how to do it, either.....

Fellow, Academy of Sublime Masters of Appliantology
|If you removed this and the spring has sprung or the clip was no engaged (door will pull off, many a trip to the local dealer to re-attach for them) you will have to expand the hinge and get the clip to hold it open prior to putting the door back on. There is a lot of tension on those mechanisms so be careful. I put the door on the floor hinges facing up and actually use the heal of my foot to expand it and then reach down and flip the lever to hold it that way. If you use only your hands, use a dishtowel or something but be careful, they eat fingers..... DCS hinges, gotta love them!

Subject: Thermador
thank you sir or maddam. I now have a range with an attached door. BTW it took two people to set up each hinge for attachment! I needed both hands and a hot pad for padding to pull the sprung hinge far enough for my daughter to swing the lever onto it. But then ten seconds later and the door was in its rightful place. Order is returned to the universe...

|Newbie grasshopper here. Feeling like a Thermador alien.
OK, here's a twist on the Thermador door conversation. I inherited a PRG304US. Arrived with the door off. Read these posts and the manual before attempting re-entry - er, reattaching the door.
One hinge latch released pronto and the other did not! I guess I didn't have that angle exactly right! So now one latch is released and hinge is working, while the other is still in latch locked position. Now I can't take the door off or get it fully on (get the locked latch to release).
Can I "just" release that latch? I say "just" because I understand, and can see, that there is a lot of pressure on that latch. I will probably get some help but wondering if I am on the right planet.
Thanks in advance, appliantologists.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 29 (Xinhua) -- The Brazilian
Space Agency (AEB) on Friday launched a rocket to test the facilities at the
Alcantara Launching Center, the AEB said.
The launching, which took place on Friday afternoon,
was "a complete success", AEB said in a statement.
The mission was code-named Maracati 1 under a
partnership between Brazil and Germany. It was the first launch from the
Alcantara base since 2007.
The rocket, named Orion 1, was developed by Germany.
It was equipped with tracking devices and reached 93 kilometers high before
falling into the sea about 80 kilometers off the Brazilian coast.
The Alcantara Launching Center, built in 1983 in the
northeastern Maranhao state, is the closest launching base to the equator, which
gives the base a significant advantage in launching geosynchronous satellites.
In 2003, a rocket explosion in the base killed 21
people and completely destroyed Alcantara's launch pad.
The AEB's next launch of a rocket is scheduled in

Local faces featured in colorectal screening effort
BEND, Ore. - Deschutes County Health Services and St. Charles Health System – in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division — will launch a new campaign Wednesday to increase colorectal cancer screenings among Central Oregonians.
Guided by research finding that people are much more likely to get screened if they are encouraged by someone they know and trust, the campaign empowers already screened men and women to serve as champions and to encourage people they know to get screened.
"If you've been screened, you can play a significant role in saving the lives of people you care about by talking about your experience and encouraging others to get screened," said St. Charles Community Education and Survivorship Coordinator Lizzi Katz, who is partnering with Deschutes County Health to promote the screenings.
Five Deschutes County residents have volunteered to be spokespeople for the campaign. They have been screened for a variety of reasons and are willing to share their stories which will be featured in print ads and on billboards throughout the region. Carson Meyer of Sisters, Corinne Martinez of La Pine; Cornelius "Mac" McCormick, Cindy Pierce, and Jeff Johnson of Bend, are all valued champions giving local inspiration to the campaign.
"I lost my husband to cancer, and my son is a cancer survivor. Cancer is so prevalent in all parts of our body," said Corinne. "It's so important to take an easy test and have the peace of mind that you're OK. It's not like surgery — and surgery could be the alternative if you don't get the test."
Colorectal cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer. Screening can prevent the cancer or catch it early when it's highly treatable. When colorectal cancer is found early and treated, the five-year relative survival rate is 90 percent. Because screening rates are low, fewer than 40 percent of colorectal cancers are found early.
Central Oregonians 50 years and older (45 for African-Americans) are encouraged to get screened for colorectal cancer and talk to their friends and families about their experience.
For more information about colorectal cancer and screening options, visit www.TheCancerYouCanPrevent.org.

The Evolution of Content Marketing
Fifteen years ago when a company wanted to communicate a message to its target audience, they had limited options to do so including print publications, radio and TV broadcasting and other forms of advertising. Media agencies formed to satisfy a business' need to communicate to a large and targeted audience. The media agency industry profited handsomely from the amount of reach they had and the types of audiences they could reach.
Media publications attracted their audiences through the creation of expert content. What typically happened is that an agency would match a business' needs for market exposure to a specific kind of audience and subsequently sell that business advertising on that particular publication medium. Whether you look at TV commercials, radio ads or print promotions, that advertising model worked effectively for a good many years; businesses reached the people they wanted and consumers got the content that interested them. Everybody was happy.
Content Publishing then and now...
The ability to produce expert content was regarded as highly prestigious. As a whole, journalists were seen as public figures which credited them with a high degree of value. By the same token, the publications that enjoyed that level of reach were also regarded as influential. Even just fifteen years ago, this was a company's exclusive way to access the buying public.
Thought leaders from the business community also experienced limited exposure to the market because media publications had a finite number of pages that could be printed in any given month. That inherent constraint forced the media to be very selective about which expert content they would feature.
One of the net results of this dynamic was that the general business community were effectively trained to believe that they could never publish their thought leadership without the help of a public relations agency or an expensive ad campaign. As a whole, they thought that their ideas were undervalued and that the average business owner or consultant simply lacked the power to communicate to the masses without having to pay for it.
But today, things have changed as audiences have discovered new ways to consume content. These new forms of content include blogs, RSS feeds, videos and other forms of digital content, all of which are relatively inexpensive to create when compared to traditional methods of distributing information. The low cost of production has, to a large extent, removed the limitations that once existed for media such as newspapers who could only print and deliver so many pages per edition.
The Means of Production Are Everywhere
Technologies such as Wordpress have facilitated the creation and distribution of digital content to the masses; publishing that's basically free from the controls that previously constrained the amount of content we produce.
In the end, the concept of the modern media agency has fundamentally changed. No longer must they hire a well-paid staff of writers to source the content that media publications rely upon. While it's still necessary to keep a team of bloggers to maintain a website, the content production is now more readily sourced directly from within the business and thought leader community.
The result is that the cost of producing valuable content is now a fraction of what it once was which empowers the voices of those who, in times past, may have never been able to effectively convey their concepts and insights to large audiences. This opens up many new opportunities for business leaders and change makers to communicate their solutions.
The advertising model within the digital media space is still very similar to traditional publishing in that you will still see a lot display ads on blogs. The online space however allows for other forms of generating revenue including affiliate sales which can ultimately produce much greater profits than advertising alone.
Quantifying Return On Investment
When we compare the return on investment of conventional advertising to that of content marketing, we can accomplish that by assigning a given value to the reach that each medium achieves. For example, in a broadcast media such as radio, a radio promotion or "spot" would be broadcast to an audience, say 50,000 listeners, that fits the demographic the advertiser wants to reach.
For that individual spot, a business might pay between $350 and $500 for a single blast of their message. However, in order for that message to reach its intended audience, it has to be broadcast over and over again. The necessary repetition causes that approach to get expensive pretty quickly depending on how much a radio stations charges in their market.
source http://www.webdesignandseomarketing.com/images/columns/mcolumn/services/internet_vs_tv/bbc_rates.gif
In this image, you can see the advertising rates (also called a 'rate card') for the BBC World News radio. During the sales process, the advertiser most often commits to a contract for the frequency of their radio ad which effectively multiplies the total cost of their 30-second spot. The radio broadcast goes out but is essentially never heard again thereby imposing deep limits on the effect that ad might have and the potential for the advertiser to yield a return on their cost.
Unfortunately, we don't have the data to determine how many potential customers are actually reached through a printed magazine or a radio commercial, giving us no real way to measure whether or not it reached its intended destination much less achieved the desired outcome. It really is a shot in the dark which underscores the decline in conventional display advertising in favor of digital marketing strategies.
Measuring Reach in the Digital Era
By contrast, a piece of content marketing (such as a blog post) we can use the same metric of reach to measure value. But, instead of how many listeners a radio ad may have reached, we can look at how many page impressions a given article would have gained. We also have additional metrics with which to evaluate our return on investment (ROI).
Other metrics for determining ROI include:
- average time on page for a given web visitor
- how many people viewed the post page
- how many people interacted with the post
- how many people bookmarked the post
- how many people shared the post within social media
The image above is an actual screen capture of a high-quality, high-impact piece of content from leading Search Engine Optimization website SEOmoz. The best part is that when a blog post is bookmarked, and when it's indexed by the search engines, it continues to generate traffic and beneficial exposure over time. You'll want to compare that return to the benefit you could expect from a terrestrial radio spot which can only build brand recognition and awareness through costly repetition of the ad.
This naturally leads us to ask ourselves a question. When you're trying to promote a product or service, or otherwise get your message out to the public, how would you rather spend your money? Would you prefer to spend $500 by buying just one radio spot, or would you want to publish an individual piece of content to the right online publication at no additional cost because it has the potential to continue benefitting you over time?
Let's looks at the following chart which illustrates a comparison between the results that can be measured with a radio ad versus a content marketing piece:
|Measurable Results:
|Radio Advertising:
|Content Marketing:
|Estimated Reach
|116 million U.S. households
|94,000 Facebook Fans alone
|Cost Per Spot
|$525 (weekday, daytime)
|$500 *(see note)
|Actual Impressions
|5,193 and growing
|Social Shares
|Zero - Not Possible
|1,413 and growing
|Audience Feedback
|Zero - Not Possible
|158 reader comments
|Unique Listeners / Visitors
|3,303 and growing
* NOTE: this comparative cost assumes that the piece of content was professionally produced and syndicated by a content marketing agency
The Life of a Blog Post
The screenshot above shows the cumulative Google Analytics data for a single blog post over a nine month period from the date of publishing to yesterday (February 2013). Notice that the content creates value over an extended period of time, rather than one time radio spot which simply cannot generate prolonged benefit for the advertiser.
The conclusion to be drawn from this comparison is that the old way of marketing a business solution or message truly is incomparable when put side by side with marketing in the online realm. Perhaps now more than ever, it's essential that cost-conscious company owners be able to readily quantify results and justify the expenses related to their business development efforts.

PINEHURST, N.C. - In the end, Graham DeLaet couldn't salvage his first U.S. Open round.
Canada's only hope at Pinehurst carded a 5-over 75 and sits 10 shots back of Martin Kaymer, who scorched Pinehurst No. 2 with a 65 on Thursday.
"I got off to a poor start, it might have been just a little bit of nerves," DeLaet said.
After making three bogeys in his first six holes, DeLaet steadied his game and made nine consecutive pars before bogeying two of his final three holes.
He sat at 3-over par midway through his second nine and it began to look as though he could get himself back in the mix.
With five holes left to play, DeLaet — who started his round on the 10th hole — arrived at the par-5, fifth that was playing 528 yards. With many players going for the green in two, there was a lengthy wait on the tee. The 32-year-old from Weyburn, Sask., found the only air conditioned seat on the sweltering course when he jumped up and sat on the ice box.

IRS owed for early distribution of retirement funds from a traditional IRA for tax year 2012. An extension was filed for completion by 10/2013.
Q: Will you have your home phone number listed in the phone book or your mobile number listed for the public to contact you directly?
Yes__X____ No_______
I have listed my home phone number and my cell phone number on FB page, Jamaica Beach Watchdogs.
Q: Why should voters choose you?
A: As a 24 year veteran of the Jamaica Beach Police dept., I have come to know most citizens through interaction of calls for service and civic functions and have developed a solid reputation.
I am also a full time resident of 25 years.
I believe that I have an in depth experience and my reputation speaks for itself. Due to my lengthy employment and residency in this fair city, I feel that I possess a vast knowledge of city problems and have developed ideas how to deal with them in contrast to the status quo.
Q: What are your specific qualifications for the position?
A: I have experienced 5 chiefs of police through 24 years of Jamaica Beach police service and have been promoted by each one of them. I have dealt with all phases of city government from the successive mayors through the city managers.
As a resident of this fair city for the last quarter century, I have experienced firsthand all of the problems and benefits of living here and have my opinions as to how these things should be dealt with.
I have spoken with other like minded residents
and believe that I represent a great deal of them and how to deal with these specific problems.
Q: What are the issues in this campaign?
1. Keeping current city taxes at the present low rate.
2. Term limits for Mayor/Council.
3. Residency of police chief.
4.City Homestead exemption for seniors 65 and older.
Q: What is your platform on those issues?
1. Keeping current city taxes at the present low rate.
A: I am an advocate of fiscal responsibility. One city dept. has already exceeded their budgeted funds due to inexperience and mismanagement. My platform is to ensure that a responsible/qualified dept. head is employed to manage this dept. and its employees.
2. Term limits for Mayor/Council.
A. City government is not a popularity contest. I believe that term limits will induce responsible ideas from qualified residents running for office to guide this city into the future.
3. Residency of police chief.
A. I feel that residency of the police chief is a positive, determining factor of community policing. A resident police chief is less likely to guide the police dept. into (candidate's answers went over word limit)

Well the 357 mag out of a rifle puts it into an entirely different level. It ain't nothing to sneeze at. But it's not equal to a 30-30 either.
I like Marlin in their 1894 series. Also the Winchester94 is a great choice.
And to be honest, I am really interested in the Ruger 77/357 bolt action. With it's good iron sights and integral scope mounts, it has alot of versatility. It's just a little pricey.
And a 399.00 price tag on a Marlin lever gun is a great buy.

IT HAS all the makings of the credit-crunch "show trial" of the decade, writes Ross Lydall.
The so-called "masters of the universe" will appear tomorrow before a committee of MPs at Westminster.
Taking centre stage will be Sir Fred "the shred" Goodwin, the fallen chief executive of Royal Bank of Scotland. Alongside him will be the former RBS chairman, Sir Tom McKillop, and Halifax Bank of Scotland's former chief executive, Andy Hornby, and former chairman, Lord Stevenson of Coddenham.
Facing them will be the John McFall, MP, the Labour chairman of the Treasury select committee, who famously demanded to know whether taxpayers were being "taken for a mug" when Mervyn King, the Bank of England governor, appeared to explain the 37 billion bank rescue plan.
What risks being exposed is not simply the mistakes of the bankers, but their closeness to Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, and Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, as well as the Labour hierarchy's part in the current economic collapse.
One Treasury committee member told The Scotsman he would be checking for the Prime Minister's fingerprints on the "smoking gun".
Sir Peter Viggers, a Tory MP, said: "Gordon Brown has said he is angry that RBS invested in derivatives in the way it did. Yet how much taxpayers' money he proceeded to invest in the bank, without due diligence, we don't yet know. I will be trying to follow the smoking gun back to Gordon Brown."
For those seeking to build a case showing that political failings underpinned the risks taken by the banks, there is plenty of evidence.
The links between Mr Brown and Lord Stevenson go as far back as Labour's time in opposition, and the then shadow chancellor's efforts to reassure the City that an incoming Labour government was not to be feared. Then, Lord Stevenson had yet to be raised to the peerage and was at Pearson plc. Two years into the Labour government, he became a peer.
Sir Fred was knighted by Tony Blair in 2004 (although there was no evidence of party affiliation), having already served on a variety of government task forces. He investigated credit unions, which provide finance to people on low incomes. He led a panel on the New Deal, Mr Brown's flagship initiative to get the unemployed back into work. He even made it to Chequers as Mr Blair mulled over when to call an election.
By 2006, Sir Fred was a regular at 11 Downing Street and a member of Mr Brown's International Business Advisory Council. He also sat on the "high-level group on the City".
These days, the friendships have turned sour. The Prime Minister has no hesitation in stating that RBS and HBOS would have collapsed without public support, and has to dodge parliamentary questions about asking the Queen to strip Sir Fred of his knighthood.
But Sir Peter said the bankers did not deserve to shoulder all the blame. "Reading through the CVs of the four people who are appearing before us, they are all outstandingly capable people who, in their time, have been regarded as the most capable of their generation," he said. "I think there is a danger that people will regard them as the culprits, the guilty men. In fact, they were doing what everybody else was doing.
"Was it their fault? Yes, they were at the helm. Yes, they received, in most cases, enormous remuneration, remuneration that would have kept a whole street of ordinary people going for a generation.
"But I think it's simplistic to think they are the guilty men and by pouring our venom and spleen on them that that's going to achieve anything."
Stewart Hosie, the SNP's Treasury spokesman, said the government had to be aware of double standards in criticising the bankers.
"I don't recall Gordon Brown as Chancellor ever complaining when he was raking in billions in corporation tax from the banks," he said.
"As for where the fault lies, some must lie with the government. Even going back to the run on Northern Rock and its bail-out, we have put in hundreds of billions in recapitalisation and guarantees, entirely under the same regulation that allowed the banks to get into that difficulty in the first place."
But another committee member, the Labour MP Nick Ainger, was clear about what he wanted to hear from the bankers. "The first thing I would expect is an apology," he said.

Nikki Gane of Kent has been recognized as a SPIRIT 105.3 "Unsung Hero."
Hope, joy, dignity and the beginning of transformation is what you can find in a small purple bag that an organization titled Dignity for Divas provides homeless women on the streets of Seattle. The bag is filled with personal hygiene items that are meant to restore a sense of decency for struggling women. Nikki Gane is the reason for this organizations existence.
We asked Nikki why she decided to start this organization, "Every person deserves to feel good about themselves on a daily basis. Many at-risk homeless women in Seattle are unable to obtain some basic needs that are needed to feel good. Our volunteers and donors help restore their dignity."
Under Nikki's leadership, Dignity for Divas has given out nearly 10,000 bags to those in need in the last year. With a servant's heart and a passion for others, Nikki is a shining example of the "SPIRIT of Seattle." It's an honor and a privilege to recognize her as one of our "Unsung Heroes."
SPIRIT 105.3's "SPIRIT of Seattle – Unsung Hero" campaign is a program that recognizes individuals for their efforts to faithfully and selflessly serve others in our communities with joy and excellence each and every day.

The Cageberry joins a long line of esteemed beings named after the dwelling they reside in, like housecats and...um...housewives? Found mostly in World 3: Ruin.
Cageberries have a pointy top that can't be bounced on. However, if you pound the ground next to them, they'll flip over, revealing a flat perch you can now hop on. Hop on top and pound them a few times, then wait - they'll boost you up into the air above them.
If you have no use for extra high jumps, just roll through them after you stun them by pounding them.

"Bachelor" Jason Proposes to Molly
Maybe this time it will actually work. After calling off his engagement with Melissa Rycroft and then starting a relationship with runner-up Molly Malaney, Jason Mesnick has popped the question yet again. On Tuesday night Jason proposed in New Zealand, the same place he originally proposed to Melissa. A source close to the couple said Jason picked that location so he "could do what he should have done the last time he was there, and ask Molly to marry him". She accepted, so let's hope the third time's the charm for Jason.

Audio clip
The new Cat Pack organizes support for BU sports teams.
The Baker University women's soccer team beat Benedictine College 1-0 in double overtime Saturday at Liston Stadium.
"It started out as a typical Baker (versus) Benedictine game, back and forth, hard tackles everywhere," head coach Nate Houser said.
With just over six minutes left in the first half, senior Skylar Baker received a yellow card. She then received a red card three minutes into the second half and was ejected from the game.
"I thought we had a very good plan going into the half and then the beauty of the game rears its ugly head," Houser said.
Despite fielding only 10 players after the ejection, Baker outshot Benedictine 8-2 in the second half.
"I thought we were more disciplined, more organized, worked harder and we had a shot in the second half," Houser said.
Play continued until one minute into the second overtime when sophomore Amber Pickering lofted a ball into the box and freshman Ashley Mauck netted a goal.
BU will play Culver-Stockton College at 1 p.m. Saturday in Canton, Mo.

Just a quick note to let you know I'm traveling to New York for the week. It's supposed to be in the mid to high 90s for the next few days – fun!
If you need to reach me urgently, give me a call at 707-235-8953; otherwise, just drop me an email at email@example.com and I'll get back to you when I have a chance (or after the 15th).
Also – I haven't addressed this yet because I've been so busy and have been mulling over the best method to do what I have in mind. As you probably know, my beautiful state of California has overturned legislation defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and I couldn't be happier about this. I believe love is love, and a commitment between two people is beautiful, full stop.
I want to support this liberating time by working with gay and lesbian couples who don't have a wedding photographer yet, and I particularly am interested in photographing a civil, city hall marriage ceremony, as I myself was married at SF City Hall and think that it is just going to be a beautiful sea of love and tears there in the coming weeks!
So, I haven't worked out the details yet, but if you guys have any ideas about how to present a contest, a kind of "send me your story and make me cry; the winner gets free wedding photography" thing, I would love helpful feedback and ideas.
I wish I could do unlimited free photography, but I need to hold myself back a bit because I've already got so much going on.
See you next week!
what a great idea! I will have to spread the word. Also, it was not that long ago that interracial marriage was illegal, so I have a lot of empathy for GBLT who want to legalize their same-sex relationships...

Leased my truck about 3months ago now, and had none of that. Peculiar
This is a discussion on Three questions that stunned me this afternoon within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I bought a truck at a dealership today. As I began the final paperwork with the business manager he began by stating that he had ...
I bought a truck at a dealership today. As I began the final paperwork with the business manager he began by stating that he had to ask me three questions, and if he didn't he'd be faced with a $10,000 fine !!!
He asked me if I added the first and last number of my social security number what would the answer be? Note he didn't ask me my SS, he just wanted the sum.
He asked me did I have a family member that was associated with one of these addresses, and he named off about five street and house numbers. Yes one of them was at one time my son's residence, though he had since moved about 3 years ago. He didn't ask me his address, he just asked me was one familiar.
He asked me was I personally familiar with one of these addresses and he named off about 5 street and house numbers. Yes one of them was at one time my residence, where I once lived about 25 years ago.
He said I passed the valid ID test and the program said I was who I was. Although he had my DL, he stated the "government" required him to do that or be fined. I thought I was in another country !!! I'm just buying a pickup truck and I'm not even financing it.
Has anyone ever experienced this themselves, or know more about this?
Someone knows my old address from 25 years ago, I wonder if they know about my shop fire where I lost most of my guns?

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
Very strange.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
That's the type of stuff they ask you to do an online credit check.
would they have refused to sell the truck to you if you had elected to not answer those questions?
"I plan ahead. That way, I don't have to do anything right now!"
The questions might have had to do with transactions involving over $10,000 in cash - rules related to money laundering.

That is so bizarre. I live in NJ and never had to go through that. You should have asked more detailed questions and for a copy of the law that required him to ask you those questions.
Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good. Thomas Paine
I did a verification to attach a credit card online last summer that had the same questions. I'm guessing you used a credit card for part of the purchase?
At least they didn't ask you if you were a tree what kind of tree you would be.

I've had similar questions to verify ID for a credit check, but not about other people's addresses, only mine and never the add SS number trick. Usually have you ever lived in one of these three counties? have you ever had an account at any of these banks? (can be tricky since they sell accounts and buy each other out all the time...) and usually one about previous street addresses. I think I've been asked about payment amounts too, like for your mortgage with xyz bank your monthly payment is closest to $600, $300 or $500? I dunno if the government fines them for not asking. I have a fraud alert out on my Credit report, so I expect extra questions.
I doubt they know about fires, I don't think insurance payouts or police reports show up on regular credit checks. I'm sure if you applied for a new insurance company to cover the new truck, they would know about the fire, at least the official reports on it.
I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I expect the same from them. -- John Wayne as John B. Books in "The Shootist"
When I wired money to somebody, I was asked these same questions.
I was definitely a little creeped out.
"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God." - Benjamin Franklin
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." - C.S. Lewis
You mean you didn't get the prostate check too?
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Yes the same three questions were asked me, when I set up a Walgreens prescription auto refill account, they even had two addresses places I lived that 20 years ago, when I was off the grid I thought.
It is pardonable to be defeated but never surprised.

No credit card used or financing endeavors. The guy said it was an identity check to guarantee the right person's name was on the title. The questions seemed harmless since I wasn't giving him answers that were particularly meaningful. I have a cousin who is a credit manager for a different type of business, I'll see what he says about this.
