It is a source of considerable disappointment to me that I don't get to spend nearly enough time playing the glossy, airbrushed parenting role I had in mind for myself before I actually had a child. Annoyingly, for every minute I get to spend, for instance, sitting at a pavement cafe while my delightful little one tucks heartily into an organic meal and amuses himself artistically with crayons, with me, let's say, thoughtfully perusing the comment pages while maintaining a steady, watchful eye over my progeny and shyly acknowledging the admiring smiles of passers by, I would estimate that I spend at least 10 minutes singing The Wheels on The Bus, 20 minutes, minimum, crawling on hands and knees under bushes to retrieve lost footballs, and a good hour cleaning yoghurty fingerprints from windows.
I suspect that it is this chronic shortage of glamour and the ensuing wanton craving for appreciation that turns parents into such unbelievable show-offs. In my local playground on a Saturday morning, the children are roundly drowned out by their parents. "Come and have one of these nourishing but delicious muesli cookies that mummy made this morning, Lola darling," they shout across the climbing frame, "and then it's time we went to your drama workshop/Sudoku group/thank-you-letter-writing masterclass."
It is 10am, and the alpha mamas are flaunting their parental gold stars with all the subtlety of Jordan falling out of a late-night taxi in a bra top. Around the sandpit, mothers brandish healthy snacks and educational toys like Mulberry handbags. Believe me, front row at a catwalk show has nothing on this atmosphere of high-pressure competition.
It was always thus, of course. But favoured methods of showing off about one's brilliant child - and, more importantly, about one's A-starred parenting skills - are, as with everything, subject to the whims of fashion. Offspring who are coached to finish everything on their plate are, frankly, so 20 years ago; in these Jamie Oliver obsessed times, it's all about breeding a child who wrinkles their snub nose in the face of chocolate and pines for soya milk and papaya. And as with every well-meaning and commendable campaign, there are those who take the obsession with a perfect diet into Stepford territory. I have a friend who is part of an unofficial after-school swap system, with different parents providing tea for various kids in her street each evening. She still talks in hushed, shocked tones about the infamous occasion last year when one mother gave the children - wait for it - sandwiches, as if such a wheat-laden, non-gourmet GI snack was akin to offering a tray of stiff gin and tonics.
Me, I prefer to express my shallowness the old-fashioned way, with a weakness for Baby Dior, the home of cashmere bibs and toddler-sized fake- fur opera coats. This is rather embarrassing, since an obviously dressed-up child is an even more passé accessory than last winter's fur gilet. These days, the vogueish look for the pre-school age fashionplate is all about a rosy-cheeked, rough-and-tumble, sailing-holidays-in-Cornwall rakishness. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the phenomenon of Mini Boden, the mail-order label in which adorable, wholesome, Boden-clad yummy mummies dress their equally adorable, wholesome, yummy offspring. The Mini Boden look combines an old-fashioned, hearty, vaguely upper-middle-class Britishness (sailing trousers; button-down pyjamas; partywear that features smocking and Cath Kidston-esque florals rather than glittery princess motifs and crop tops; a love of thick cotton and a horror of shiny fabrics) with a safe, parental-approved dash of urban trendiness (skater-length shorts, long-ish hair, ready-faded sweatshirts). The result satisfies older and younger generations, with an odd but somehow beguiling mix of Just William and McFly. Crucially, Mini Boden clothes, despite being on the pricey side, never look new, but have a nostalgic, sun-faded look that artfully reproduces the faded glamour of wealthy hand-me-downs.
Luckily for me, my son Alfie is, at two, as yet blissfully unaware of the subtleties of fashion, and therefore immune to the scandalised gaze of other mothers when we eschew the playground uniform of boat-necked stripey T-shirts and rock up at the park in his (OK, my) current favourite outfit: a miniature kaftan in teal (this season's colour) accessorised with a yellow bead necklace. There is, I do realise, a strange kind of narcissism-by-proxy going on here: if I am spending the day with Alfie I will leave dressing up until the grown-up hours after 7pm, and choose my own clothes on the basis of, say, how easy they are to get on and off at the swimming pool (my favourite ankle-tie Marni wedges have been sadly taken off Saturday daytime duty for this reason), or whether I can sit on the grass while wearing them (now that white jeans are back, I urgently need fashion advice from Liz Hurley - what on earth does she do when she goes to the park? Maybe they have special non-smudge turf in the Cotswolds?).
Alfie, on the other hand, is always working a look. Two summers ago, it was dungarees over bare tummy, winningly teamed with a floppy sunflower hat, a look that referenced two of that season's style icons: Bubba Sparxxx and Ali McGraw. Sometimes, it's true, he looks as if he might be more at home in the Central St Martins canteen than by the duckpond.
But I can't resist. Children's clothes provide all the joys of fashion with none of the angst. It is so fabulous to be able to buy shorts, knowing full well that the knees they will expose are chubby and pale but that it won't matter one bit. It is liberating not to have to consider whether a piece will be out of fashion in six months, because it will have been outgrown in six months anyway. Rather than the po-faced, body-obsessed posturing that dominates women's fashion, children's clothes are, above all, fun. Actually, they are more than just fun; they are funny. This summer, for instance, Alfie has a beige linen blazer from Gap Kids. I love it because - especially when his toddler curls are at their most springy and bouffant, and he is meandering across Hampstead Heath, hands in pockets, soulfully scanning the grass for the perfect addition to his prized twig collection - he looks exactly like a very small Melvyn Bragg.
Some people might think it mean to dress one's children up for amusement value. I say, thank your lucky stars I don't have a girl.

Trish McEvoy has been a household name in luxury cosmetics since the 70's. Spotted in stores like Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman; the prestige line is most noted for her fabulous makeup brushes that are designed to simplify and enhance makeup applications. I caught up with the strikingly beautiful and personable Trish McEvoy recently to chat about all things beauty and she had a few tips I just had to share!
-Use the back of your hand as your makeup palette to apply makeup. This way you know how much product you are using.
-Put your chin down and the mirror up to apply eye makeup for the best lighting.
-Grip your eyeliner brush like you grip a pencil to apply color for more control.
-Look at yourself subjectively, imitate nature, you don't want makeup to look heavy.
Thanks Trish for all your great tips!!

by SierraI've written a few times about how the modesty doctrine hurts women. Now it's time to switch lenses. The modesty doctrine also wreaks havoc on the minds of young men in the Christian patriarchy movement. Here's how:It teaches men to be afraid of women because their sexual power is too great to be resisted. It teaches men to despise women and hampers their relationships. It teaches men to be afraid of their own bodies. It teaches men to control and criticize women in order to protect themselves. It teaches men to be paranoid about their sexual orientation. It teaches gay men that they don't exist.(There are probably more consequences of which I'm not aware, so m … [Read more...]
How the Modesty Doctrine Hurts Men, Too
How Modesty Made Me Fat
by SierraThis isn't a story about how modest clothes allowed me to "let myself go" and conceal a growing figure. It's not even a story about how wearing modest clothes kept my self-esteem at rock bottom and thrust me into a too-close relationship with Ben & Jerry. It's a story about how modesty doctrines impacted my mind, in ways that had real, negative effects on my body. Modesty was one of the reasons my defining relationship with my body became whether or not I was "fat." Modesty was one of the engines that pushed me into a full-blown eating disorder. It's not just a dress code: it's a philosophy, and it's one that destroys young women, mentally and physically.Modesty taught me … [Read more...]

The Dead Village: Living With Disapproval
by SierraLeaving quiverfull/patriarchal Christianity means losing approval. It means your parents, children, or spouse may reject you - or worse, implicitly disapprove while claiming to maintain a loving bond. That means that every time you talk, there's another dagger through your heart - the feeling that you'll never again have their respect (if you ever did in the first place) or be a whole person in their eyes (if you ever were).It almost certainly means your community evaporates like a holographic illusion.

Chapter Two
Quick Author's Note: Yes, I redid this chapter. -_- I originally wasn't going to, but I was bored and had nothing else to do, so I did. Kay? Thanks for checking this out.
It had been almost a year since Dawn had found Sparrow in the bush, and all was going well. Dawn had managed to keep the fact that she was not his real mother a secret, as she wanted Sparrow to be treated the same as everyone else in the pack.
It was a rather cold autumn night. Sparrow was now sitting alone in the center of his den, which was darkened by the night sky. Rain was pouring outside, and a chilly wind blew through the cave, making the wolf's black fur ruffle. Abruptly, Sparrow stood up and yawned, thinking of leaving the cave to get a drink, despite the rain. But before he could walk very far, Dawn entered the den.
Her fur was drenched with water. She had a strange glint in her eyes and was hunched over, yet looking up at Sparrow while panting nervously.
"Hello," Dawn whispered hoarsely, not meeting her son's eyes. Sparrow's eyes narrowed. It wasn't like Dawn to just barge into his cave - not like Dawn at all.
"Mother?" Sparrow asked cautiously. "What do you need?" Dawn didn't reply at first; she made a faint squeaky noise and looked at the ground. "Please don't be angry at me for this, Sparrow," she said in a voice so low that Sparrow could barely hear her.
"Speak louder, mother. I can barely hear you."
Dawn's eyes closed as she hung her head in regret. She didn't want this to happen - it just had to.
"Sparrow, Leader made a discovery last night."
Sparrow looked down at his mother, a confused expression on his face. Lifting a paw and peering down at her, he said, "Discovery? What did he find?"
Dawn sighed. "It's not good, Sparrow. Not good at all."
Continuing softly, Dawn sighed again. "Leader found out that the place that I rescued you from was in the territory of another wolf pack. Our enemy wolf pack."
Sparrow frowned. "Rescued me from?" he asked her flatly. "You never rescued me from anywhere."
Dawn made a sad expression. "Yes I did, Sparrow," she said. "When you were only a few days old, I saw you in the bushes. You were so helpless, small, and alone - I couldn't just leave you there to die! I should have told you this sooner, but I didn't want you to feel like an outsider here. I'm sorry."
Sparrow was shocked. He couldn't believe that after this long, his mother was finally telling him that he wasn't really hers.
"You have no relation to any of us, Sparrow," Dawn said sadly. "Snowflake and Sapphire are not your sisters. Leader is not your father. I am... not your mother. Leader is worried that you have the same traits as the other wolves from the enemy pack."
Sparrow frowned. "What do you mean by... traits?"
"Those wolves are taught to kill. You were rescued from the north side of our territory. That is the territory of..." Dawn lowered her voice to a venomous snarl. "Them."
"What's so bad about them?" Sparrow asked.
"They win every battle that goes on here, and they always cause them," Dawn explained quietly. "They have the best territory to live in. They can catch the best prey. It's not fair, Sparrow. They teach their pups to hunt at only a few weeks, and make some of them hunters at very young ages as well. They kill wolf pups from other packs. Their hearts are black and cold. I would have never wanted you to be that way, but Leader isn't taking any chances. You must leave this pack, by sunrise."
"You never taught me anything wrong," Sparrow fumed, now getting a bit angry. "If you raised me the correct way, why should I leave?"
"Leader knows that you were probably exposed to something vicious that you would have thought was the right thing later on. There is nothing safe here for our pack anymore. If this is what Leader wants, Sparrow, you must do it. His word is law in this pack."
Sparrow frowned down at the floor of his den, unable to say anything. He was very confused, still. Why hadn't Dawn told him this before? Did the rest of the pack know that Dawn had found him and that he was not truly related to any of them?
Asking Dawn the two above questions, Sparrow was worried. Her response was, "None of the pack members know. I couldn't tell anyone, Sparrow. Not even you. No one would trust you anymore, and you would question why you were here. I just... I didn't want that."
"Well, what happens if I stay here?" Sparrow questioned. Dawn sighed, her breathing shaken.
"That is not possible, Sparrow," she answered. "Leader is forcing you to leave by sunrise. If you do not, he says that you will be killed."

Tokyo, Jan 19 (Itar-Tass) The world''s first gold-sellingvending machine has been installed in Tokyo, the JapaneseCapital.
The special vending machine, which sells gold coins andbullions weighing from one to seven grammes to anyone wishingto do so, has been devised by the Space International LtdCompany.
The sole vending machine of its kind is installed herein a downtown building that houses the Company''s office.
Another such vending machine is to be installed soon atImperial Hotel in downtownTokyo.
The price of gold sold by the hambaiki is regulated everyday in line with the stock market current prices. A gold coinweighing 7.2 grammes, issued by the Central Bank, is now themost expensive commodity sold by this vending machine at aprice of approximately410.
Company CEO Makishi Rokugawa points out, "It may sohappen that waking up one day you would realize that all yourmoney turned into a mere paper. This is why, I am sure thatgold is the best way of monetary investment."
Rokugawa told journalists that his company got farreaching plans for developing vending machines to sellprecious metals. Next year the Space International is planningto reach out to the nationwide level, siting similar vendingmachines in a majority of large cities of Japan.
The Company also mulls in earnest over the possiblity ofgetting to the market of Hong Kong.
On the last day of 2010, gold price bounced up to anall-time high.
Many analysts are inclined to think that gold iscurrently the most optimum object of financial inputs. Besides, gold has been always immensely popular in China and India --the two most rapidly developing economies of our time.

'Dead Man Down' is smart, fast crime movie
Here's the tip-off that "Dead Man Down," a new crime movie, may be better than average: it has Armand Assante in it. In fact, a cursory glance at the cast list would stir the pulse of any serious movie fan. F. Murray Abraham, Salieri in "Amadeus," has a part. Terrence Howard is the chief villain. Isabelle Huppert. Dominic Cooper. Naomi Rapace, of the original "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and the second "Sherlock Holmes," is one of the leads. The other is the resurgent Colin Farrell.
Director Niels Arden Oplev (who made the Swedish "Dragon Tattoo" movie) can actually interrupt the sometimes-violent movie story to let the camera watch Rapace and Farrell simply sitting there trying to make conversation. What they are thinking is obvious. The way the actors have of demonstrating what the characters are thinking is fascinating.
Maybe what differentiates crime dramas from action pictures is how they treat sentiment. Bad action movies will sometimes go all teary. Van Damme will use sign language to tell his character's daughters that he loves them. And then he'll attack a woman in a Penguin suit and kill her by running her through a commercial kitchen's dish washer.
In "Dead Man Down," Victor (Farrell) has already lost his daughter. She was killed by a stray bullet when men working for Alphonse (Howard) were trying to scare emigrant families out of an apartment building he wants to "control." Emigrants are very important in this film—so important that Alphonse's whole gang is European in origin.
Alphonse then hired Albanian emigrant hit-men to kill the complaining parents of the little girl. But Victor survived and, supported by his emigrant father (Abraham), infiltrated Alphonse's gang of tough guys. He is already god-father to the off-spring of fellow thug Darcy (Cooper) who begins the movie with a philosophical observation that will inform the ending in surprising ways: "Even the most damaged heart can be mended."
Victor has a long-term plan to kill Alphonse, his gang, and the Albanians all at once by getting them into Alphonse's headquarters and setting off bombs. Vic's dad points out that the trigger transmitter doesn't have enough range. Apparently Vic is thinking of being a suicide bomber.
He has kidnapped one of the Albanians, a man he will use to lure that gang into the h.q. on the sanctified day. Audiences can't ignore that all this is like a radical Muslim terror plot. Then things start to go wrong with Vic's plans.
One of Alphonse's thugs associates anonymous taunting mailings to the death of Vic's daughter. Our hero offs that thug. Then Darcy begins to investigate the thug's murder on his own. Worse yet, a neighbor, French emigrant Beatrice (Rapace) has seen and filmed Vic killing the guy. She demands that Vic kill the man who, while driving drunk, struck her with his car and caused her face to be scarred.
And then Bea and Vic become interested in each other, and their individual self-sacrifices put them both in danger. This runs us right into an imaginative and wild climax, full of action, and at least a couple of well-prepared but still surprising plot reversals.
"Dead Man Down" is the best movie Oplev and screen writer J.H. Wyman ("The Mexican") have ever made. It may not bear thinking a lot about later, but while it is running it is smart, fast, and deft in its handling of both action and sentiment. No sign language or penguin mascots here. But there is a breath-takingly unconventional ending.

Sarai, the last child of her aged father, is beautiful, spoiled, and used to getting her own way. Even as a young girl, she is aware of the way men look at her, including her half brother Abram. When Abram finally requests Sarai's hand, she asks one thing--that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives. Even her father thinks the demand is restrictive and agrees to the union only if Sarai makes a promise in return--to give Abram a son and heir. Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agrees.
But as the years stretch on and Sarai's womb remains empty, she becomes desperate to fulfill her end of the bargain--lest Abram decide that he will not fulfill his. To what lengths will Sarai go in her quest to bear a son? And how long will Abram's patience last?
Jill Eileen Smith thrilled readers with The Wives of King David series. Now she brings to life the strong and celebrated wives of the patriarchs, beginning with the beautiful and inscrutable Sarai.
- Paperback: 317 pages
- Publisher: Revell; Original edition (March 1, 2012)
Jill Eileen Smith is the bestselling author of Michal, Abigail, and Bathsheba, all part of the the Wives of King David series. Her research into the lives of David's wives has taken her from the Bible to Israel, and she particularly enjoys learning how women lived in Old Testament times. She lives with her family in southeast Michigan.
My Opinion:
I love biblical stories, especially when a great author can bring them to life. This book is a great example of that. Telling you a story, that most are familiar with, and giving you a wider look at what it must have been like in that time.
And we think we have struggles now, could you imagine life without tv, internet or even running water?? Well it happened, and so did these stories.
I think anyone who knows who Abraham is would enjoying reading about his wife. She was more than just a pretty face. She was a courageous, strong and independent woman for that era. And a delight to read about.
Recommend? Yes!
~I won my copy. I was not compensated for my opinion.~

Are you ready for a gas station to charge you more when you are running late or your tank is empty? Laws against price gouging typically apply in times of emergencies, for example after Hurricane Katrina. Most of the time there are no rules that limit price discrimination, and there are certainly no laws against customized products and terms of service. When you add that to the fact that federal privacy laws do a notoriously poor job of protecting our data, it's clear that consumers are on their own.
Companies can vary their product offerings, price and contract terms from moment to moment, tailoring offers to each consumer at their specific location and point in time. Websites personalize your experience by remembering who you are and a variety of facts about you. Your browsing history, email and search terms all affect what you see. Google's personalized search means that two people searching the same term don't get the same results or see the same offers. Amazon recommends different products to different customers. And Netflix suggests what to watch based on what it learns about you.
Like products, price is customized all the time. From college tuition to plane tickets to groceries and medicine, consumers have already grown accustomed to paying dramatically different prices for the exact same thing. It's accepted that the person sitting next to you on a flight or in a lecture hall might have paid half as much as you. Economists call that price discrimination, and it is proliferating throughout our economy.
The economics of data favor scale above all, shifting power from consumers to the masters of data. Over time, by mining immense databases with superhuman speed, data giants will get closer and closer to knowing what each of us is willing to pay. Sophisticated real time pricing will allow them to capture every penny, every time.
Before the internet, market power was equated with monopoly, the power of a single seller across a large market. Big data changes the game, tilting the balance dramatically in favor of data-rich sellers. Rather than raising prices uniformly across huge markets, a data-rich seller can opportunistically exercise power where traditional monopoly is not visible, charging extra for gas today and a bit more for a movie tomorrow. That granular capability is entirely new, and requires new responses.
That's why antitrust enforcement has become more important than ever as big data supercharges the power of traditional monopolies. Consumers are just as vulnerable to the effects of personalized pricing as they are to price fixing - yet the government has done little to put safeguards in place. That's why we must start with protecting the very weapon that companies use against us: our data.

Mutwa embroidery is
a very highly prized style practised by Muslim herders who live in
only 11 villages of the Banni District of Kutch. There are sub
styles of Mutwa: Mukko, Chikan, Chopat, Katri, & Gotanv. Often
minute renderings of other local styles they use combinations of
chain, square chain, reverse chain, Romanian, knot, satin, double
running, lazy daisy, herringbone, and hemming stitches. Mirrors are
frequently used and held in place with an interlace stitch. Mukko
embroidery uses metallic threads couched on to a high quality
fabric, such as silk.

The Rave and the Bold
It's hard to miss the DJs From Mars whenever theyre performing. Typically clad in matching jumpsuits and hiding their heads with cardboard boxes adorned with smiley faces, the Euopean DJ duo tends to stand out, even amidst all the colorful costumes of a rave.
So youll have no problem spotting the funky and punky pair when they enter the Madison Events Center, 441 West Madison Street, for their headlining spin gig at Imaginationland 2011 on Saturday, June 11. Their otherworldly mix of energetic electro-house and techno will also turn some heads.
The 18-and-over rave will feature an appearance by San Franciscos Lucky Date, NYCs Protohype, and such locals as 2ToneDisco, Constantine, and Toxic Members.

Sorry, the book that you are looking for is not available right now.
We did a search for other books with a similar title, and found some results for you that may be helpful.
"King of the Queen City" is the first comprehensive history of King Records, one of the most influential independent record companies in the history of American music. Founded by businessman Sydney Nathan in the mid-1940s, this small outsider record company in Cincinnati, Ohio, attracted a diverse roster of artists, including James Brown, the Stanley Brothers, Grandpa Jones, Redd Foxx, Earl Bostic, Bill Doggett, Ike Turner, Roy Brown, Freddie King, Eddie Vinson, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. While other record companies concentrated on one style of music, King was active in virtually all genres of vernacular American music, from blues and R & B to rockabilly, bluegrass, western swing, and country. A progressive company in a reactionary time, King was led by an interracial creative and executive staff that redefined the face and voice of American music as well as the way it was recorded and sold. Drawing on personal interviews, research in newspapers and periodicals, and deep access to the King archives, Jon Hartley Fox weaves together the elements of King's success, focusing on the dynamic personalities of the artists, producers, and key executives such as Syd Nathan, Henry Glover, and Ralph Bass. The book also includes a foreword by legendary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Dave Alvin.
"Fascinating biography on Syd Nathan's King Records. 4 stars."--MOJO "Fox and the University of Illinois Press have given us an important book about a very important operation. Thank you."--Oxford American "As entertaining and dynamic a story as the music that inspired it."--Metro Times "This is a remarkable achievement... Jon Hartley Fox is to be thanked for his impressive addition to the popular music literature."--Jazz & Blues Report "Fox makes a great case for the influence and importance of King Records, touching on the label's efforts in chapters dedicated to each style of music the label recorded. One chapter is appropriately dedicated to the label's biggest star, James Brown, and Fox talks about the label's interracial staff and early 'do it yourself' aesthetic with lively prose that will entertain any reader."--About.com: Blues "In Jon Hartley Fox's well-researched new book, he shows how label founder Syd Nathan, a brusque, cigar-chomping record man with a knack for spotting recording talent and hits, built King to provide music by and for 'the little people' the majors ignored."-American Songwriter "An interesting but complicated book... I highly recommend it."--Appalachian Heritage

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Ultimate Business Services700 West Hillsboro, Suite#3-108 Deerfield Beach, Florida United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was contacted by this company to be employed. i was contacted by a young lady named Angelique Piccolo (recruiter)... She is a ex-news castor who wasn't good enough to continue (google her name)... During the interview I was told that I the requirerments that they were looking for, and they were looking for someone to start the beginning of the year... during the interview I ask very pointed questions:
(1) What is the retention of employees?-(We have reps who have been here for many years)-she Lied!!!
(2)What is the commission based on?- (setting up free two week trials that usually close 85% of the time)-she lied again
(3) How long is the training period? ( Two weeks and it will be paid-$500 weekly)-Liar!!!
I was told that a company car would be available to those who hit their numbers for the week and monthly... I asked how many of the reps are using the company cars... She spoke in general "many"- The question that i asked should have set of red flags!!!
I decided to give it a try and started on monday- First day of training; which consisted of the District Manager (Michelle Prue) and the so-called business guru the president (Nick Boncci)... Also joing the meeting was another gentleman who had just started, Amy (coffee depatment); Chris (First Aid); Tom (offsite shredding)
They added nothing to the meeting or training... Nick address the meeting and didn't teach anything except how he owned a water company in Texasthat went public 20 years ago (name was never given); and that Ultimate water has been in business for 9 years in Florida and that they are the largest in the business (LIAR!!!) What a total wait of time... Oh! we had computer training that came up with stat and figure that were not supported by anyone or anything wait of time...
the second day I came in a little early to see what happens in their sales meeting...It was the DSM screaming at us about sales... No one in the room had made a sell or a trial (big goose eggs) Michelle (DSM) start telling stories about old sales sucesses; and possible trial accounts.... After doing a investigation work speaking to the sales force, I discovered that no one has been their more that a few months... and no one has a company car or computer (binder with old POS material) What a Joke!!!and I fell for it....
Michelle paired me with one of the reps (David) she informed me that he was the lead sales rep for the district... this guys had been employed by the company for four days and had not made a trial placement or a sell.... What a joke!!!! So I decided to see what this is all about so I agreed to work with him; we drove seperate cars and headed to an area that i though would be good, he didn't even know what to do... He was to coach me? he had no sales skill except the ones this company forced into his head... A lot more to talk about but not enough room on the page
Please beware of this SCAM!!!!! Do Not waist your time; you may need it later in LIFE!!!

...So which is it Mr Dee, Donald Don Hood , are we a rip-off or not. How is it that your opinion changes so frequently. In your first allegation you claimed "two weeks free labor". Its obvious that your math is just as bad as your grammer since you only worked two days as you restated/clarified your initial LIE. You went on to denounce people who take their employment seriously and work more than two days before they give an opinion. Yes, we are, and support, agressive sale and sales people. Which is why we have a combined 25-30 sales reps and yes many of them in cars. It is perhaps because they spend their time working and not blaming others for their lack of sales and /or sales ability. Amy, Chris, and Thom, each with over 15 years experience in their perspective fields are experts in what they do. And by the way it's spelled "newscaster" and as far as I'm concerned the only mistake Angelique made was giving you an opportunity. And as far as "The Guru" is concerned, you sell a company for 22 million dollars first and then speak.
Your apology is not accepted Don and I will recommend that you hire an attorney soon. Clearly you contradicted yourself my friend. You signed NON-COMPETE, NO SLANDER AND an offer letter, which states that you get paid one week behind and you did-you lied about it. You stated that we lied about "company cars" but you did-drive by any of our offices in the AM and find out yourself Don Hood. You slandered our management and our history-SEC and public records don't lie but you did. Our closing ratio is 85% of qualified demos-how did you know different Don? you only worked for 2 days! Did you Don!
You said "Maybe at this time they are working to fulfill all of their promises... Let's hope so!" are you kidding me? Our attorneys will have fun with this. You know they are very resourceful and can subpoena internet and website records.
I have been with this firm for well over two years, and guess what, I also drive a company car and have had continued success throughout. I've grown with this company from a sales rep to Management and financially, have done better than the average professional. So the next time you plan on speaking without proper ground, the only question you must ask is "Would you like fries with that sir".
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Monday, January 24, 2011POSTED: Monday, January 24, 2011
I want to letRipOff Reportknow that I received a letter from a Law office stating that I have Defamed Ultimate Business Services... In the letter it states that what was reported toRipoff report dated 12/22/2010- was false... To be honest I can not deny or agree, because I was in their so-called training programfor two days...they have since sent me a check and a W2 statement. I know what I was told and that is what I reported.
But since they have fulfilled their promise and paid me, and that I only worked for two days: the statement made could not be verified and so I expressly state that my statements are inconclusive...
Maybe at this time they are working to fulfill all of their promises... Let's hope so!

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 12, 2011POSTED: Wednesday, January 12, 2011
I felt the need to reply to a few of the comments that have been posted about Ultimate Business Services.I have been employed by the company for about a year and have done well financially as an Outside Sales Representative. Its true when they say that 85% of qualified trials lead to closes.Im one of the many employees who have a company car and have experience the growth of the organization in the Florida market place.From my point of view, the commissions paid on the bottle-less water system and coffee service products are superior to our competition. Ive feel fortunate to work for an organization where the leaders have dedicated their time and commitment to the sales teams success.
For those who are pursuing opportunities with Ultimate Business Services, I encourage you to interview with the company and come to your own conclusions.

Bob: Were Boys Forced to Attend School Swim Lessons Completely Nude?

Thanx SLC and CaDad I really do not know why u refer to nudist club pics- for goodness sakes they were supervised mandatory school swimming classes not photo ops for anything. Recall your report on the skateboarder- surely no reader asked you to produce photos of the incident. I assume there are photos available on porn sites which could be likened to your report but the source would have been obvious. Just my thots !

#1102 Jan 26, 2013
Sorry, Katie Dear. I appreciate your candor, but from where I so it's well deserved. I am sorry, however, to feel the need to express such crass sentiments toward a friend of yours, and I hope you can appreciate the difference between our perspectives: it is born of the great difference between the experience that you have had with him and the dramatically less fruitful one that I have had. This reflects, for our purpose here, neither on you nor on me. Let's say that chemistry is to blame.
#1103 Jan 26, 2013
** from where I sit it is well-deserved
#1104 Jan 26, 2013
Indeed, Kate, some guys simply cannot like or respect one another. Such is the case with coyote and me. You will note that his antipathy toward me is no less intense than mine toward him, although earlier this week, you may have noticed, I attempted to bury the hatchet, but he--perhaps sensibly, perhaps not--promptly dismissed my offer. So there you have it. You know that regardless of our mutual contempt (coyote's and mine), I have never attempted to get you to choose between us. And I never will. He's your friend, after all, and, in your experience, and, indeed, even from what I have read of your exchanges, quite worthy of that friendship.

"Never answer a question?" I have asked you time and again to prove your allegations, MaltaMoron, and everytime you evade the issue, don't answer at all, or you weasel out of it with some excuse.
For the record:
You know who I am? Post my initials. It can't be hard. They are B.A. or B.B. etc. You have 26 possibilities.
Use a calling card and phone me from a phone booth. Can't be traced.
Post the name of the street that I live on.
You claim to have a son who was raped by me. So why haven't the police come to arrest me? Because you never called them. Because you don't have a son that was raped, that's why.
You were in Montreal? The easiest proof would have been to post an invitation to meet me from Montreal so we could all see the location. But you were never in Montreal. Because you don't have a son living in Montreal. You don't have a son. And your non-existent son was never raped by me.
Others on this forum have commented on you making the same tired allegations for so long. Yet still you persist, totally oblivious to the fool you are making of yourself.
Here I still am, waiting for you to prove any or all of your phony allegations. Still waiting for the "local and federal" to close in. Still waiting for you to man up and put your money where your mouth is.
But you know and I know that you never will, because you can't post proof that you don't have.
Put up or shut up, moron.
#1108 Jan 26, 2013
Hi, Bob. It's been barely a week since your last visit. What's happening? Lol... Ciao, Sweetheart.
#1109 Jan 26, 2013
BTW, PB, it's not my job to make the case. That is the prosecutor's. All I can do is help that effort, which I have by convincing my son to cooperate. And that took years. I will always believe that it was the right thing to do, but I'm not certain that he does. He still has nightmares, suffers from panic attacks and depression. If we somehow have id'd the wrong man, I trust that that will become obvious soon enough, and that the responsible party will be identified.
#1110 Jan 26, 2013
And if it were my job, I certainly won't do it here. Not at this stage of the situation. You surely understand, Bob, that I cannot name names on this forum... Not where anonymity is a given.

But it's your job to go to the police who will liaise with the prosecutor. But you haven't done that. Why? Because you don't have a son. Your non-existent son was never raped.
And as to having "id'd the wrong man"? You haven't id'd anybody, moron. There's no one to id.(unless you care to accept my challenge and id me...)

January is a popular month for online shopping; the sales tempt everyone in and many people want to give themselves a fresh start for the New Year. This might mean they decide to refresh their wardrobe, look after themselves better or they might even want to renovate their home.
What were eBay buyers really buying in January though? Here's what was particularly popular on the site last month.
Health and fitness
You can almost guarantee that every January sales of fitness DVDs, gym equipment and other health-related products will rise as people seek to work off all of that weight gained over Christmas. Since the December 25th, sales of juicers have increased 85 per cent and smoothie recipe books also rose in demand by 35 per cent.
Some Brits are taking a less traditional method to getting fitter this year though, as pilates and yoga gear outsold gym equipment by two to one. Home exercise equipment still remained popular though, with sales up 25 per cent in January compared to the same time last year. It's not just bodies that are being improved though, motivational book sales rocketed by 45 per cent in the new year too.
'Sherlock Holmes'
Thanks to the return of popular BBC drama 'Sherlock', sales of memorabilia of the fictional detective more than doubled last month. The books proved to be particularly sought after, with sales increasing by 71 per cent. Buyers wanted to get their hands on 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' the most, which saw sales boosted by 62 per cent compared to December.
Not surprisingly, sales of 'Sherlock' DVDs were also on the up, increasing by 45 per cent - probably because many fans wanted to refresh themselves on what happened before watching the new episodes.
'American Hustle'
It wasn't just TV shows causing a stir in January, Hollywood had an influence too, as sales of 70s items increased after the release of 'American Hustle'. Impressively, wrap dresses saw a 201 per cent rise in demand, whereas gold bangle sales rocketed by 233 per cent.
Brits seemingly wanted their homes to look like the set of 'American Hustle' too, as 75 per cent more shag pile carpets were sold in January compared to the previous month. Interest in floral wallpaper rose by a staggering 151 per cent and lava lamps made a comeback too, with sales rising by 25 per cent.
Winter Olympics
Research from Terapeak revealed that searches for items related to the 2014 Winter OIympics Games in Sochi, Russia increased during January too. Buyers were mostly looking for clothing, pins and tickets to the games as they geared up to watch the games.
Whilst the increase in health-related products isn't that surprising, it's impressive to see how big an impact the latest films and TV shows can have on sales of certain items. As an eBay seller, it's important to stay on top of what's popular, so that you can boost your sales and get as much as possible for your items. Think about the major events that are coming up next and try to tailor what you sell accordingly.

'"Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam', originally sung by the legendary Geeta Dutt is still considered to be one of Bollywood's most tragic song ever. This revisited version of the song sung by Shibani Kashyap has a very classic jazz vibe to it. She reckons this to be her tribute to singer Geeta Dutt. Music Directors Justin & Uday have fabulously added a modern sound to this classic evergreen song!"
Waqt ne kiya kya haseen sitam
Tum rahe na tum ham rahe na ham
Waqt ne kiya…
Beqaraar dil is tarha mile
Jis tarha kabhi ham juda na the
Tum bhi kho gaye, ham bhi kho gaye
Ek raah par chalke do qadam
Waqt ne kiya…
Jaayenge kaha sujhta nahi
Chal pade magar raasta nahi
Kya talaash hai kuchh pata nahi
Bun rahe hain dil khaab dam-ba-dam
Waqt ne kiya…

Walk The Moon brought their high energy act to Mojo's last night. This is a band that effortlessly engages a crowd. Endless smiles bounced from the performers to their dancing fans to right back up on stage. Walk The Moon was last at Mojo's in March performing with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and Reptar. They've been touring extensively since then, despite taking some time off to record their second album. Guitarist Eli Maiman said the new album would likely be released in March on their new label RCA. Eli also commented on how RCA parent company Sony Music has a building in New York that resembles the Death Star. Signing to a major label hasn't had much of an affect on the band, yet; they still asked the crowd for a place to crash last night (a whole group of people were competing to host them).
I'm not sure why everyone has their eyes closed in the pictures I'm posting. Their eyes were definitely quite open and bright throughout the show. Kopecky Family Band opened the show. The band featured cello, accordion, glockenspiel, synth, and of course the requisite guitar, bass, and drums. I was impressed with the collection of multi-instrumentalists on stage. Aside from the expressive vocals from the lead singer, their sound seemed intentionally restrained with an attentiveness for the craft.

Guide to Choosing the Right Perfume for your Wife or Girlfriend?
Symbol of femininity, the fragrance is more than a wake, an olfactory signature. Loaded with a strong evocative power, it reflects our personality, embodies our image. Invisible veil and second skin, the scent is chosen with care and tamed, because we are all unique and every skin reacts differently to the substances that make up the juice.
Define what you like to choose your best perfume
You fall for the freshness of citrus or the elegance of lavender, geranium and oak moss that is the hallmark of ferns? Tuberose is a perfect incarnation of the eternal feminine? You are fan of musk and precious woods that characterize the Orientals? The fragrances are available in seven families (floral, woody, oriental, citrus, ferns, and leather ). Female, male or mixed, they divide themselves into sub-families. To choose her a perfume, one turns to the fragrances that bring honor to our Ramada Lumut Resort favorite notes.
Understanding the structure of the fragrance
A perfume is a construction, symbolized by the olfactory pyramid. Consisting of three levels, it describes the main notes are revealed as and evolution of perfume. Top notes (citrus and herbs) are the most volatile:these are the ones that create the first impression. They disappear in minutes, giving way to the heart of notes (floral, green, fruity or spicy), which reflect the personality of the perfume. Thirdly, the nose perceives the base notes, woody and / or balsamic, which persist for several hours.
To find a juice to use for the perfume, we first feel on a piece of a paper or cloth , spraying it about twenty centimeters to prevent alcohol takes precedence over the top notes. Let stand a few seconds. The fragrance please? Try it inside of your wrist. Do not rub your wrists against each other, at the risk of breaking the odor molecules and distort the juice. If the charm resists the temptation to buy it appears to us immediately and let it evolve within hours. The pH of the skin and lipid levels are in fact vary fragrances and play on their resistance. Over the hours, the fragrance reveals its heart notes, one feels up to 4 hours after spraying, and the base notes, which sometimes persist for several days. These are the base notes which create the olfactory memory.
What difference is there between a Phero X, cologne, eau de toilette, a parfume or extract? Fresh and refined, colognes displayed a percentage of extract between 3 and 5%. eau de toilette contains 8-12% extract, against 12-20% for water scent. The extract, or perfume, provides a concentration of 18 to 30%. The distinction between these categories lies in their concentration of odor molecules, which determines the intensity of the wake and the holding of the juices. The gesture is of course not the same and can contribute to the choice of fragrance. While we generously fantasize with a cologne to enjoy its invigorating and refreshing effect, we apply a few drops of extract on pulse points (hollow wrist, neck, back of the knees …). Eau de toilette evaporates by drawing a large V shoulder to shoulder.

The most common maternal risk factor associated with neonatal complications during delivery is obesity. Although gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs in 5–10% of the pregnant population, obesity, by virtue of its prevalence, far outpaces GDM as the most important underlying risk factor for increased fetal adiposity. The mechanisms underlying maternal insulin resistance may play an important role in the diversion of excess fuels to the fetus. Maternal adipose depots increase in early pregnancy, followed by increased adipose tissue lipolysis and subsequent hyperlipidaemia, which mainly corresponds to increased triglyceride levels (TG). A positive correlation between maternal TG and infant body weight or fat mass has been found in both GDM and non-GDM obese women. Increased oxidative stress, altered adipokines, and inflammatory cytokines have also been found in obese pregnant women, suggesting an adverse metabolic outcome even in normoglycemic conditions.

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
To identify potential causes of pulmonary infarcts, we identified 43 such cases diagnosed by surgical lung biopsy over a period of seven years, January 1996 through December 2002.
Patients with pulmonary infarctions diagnosed by surgical lung biopsy at Mayo Medical Center, Rochester, MN were identified by a computer-assisted search of medical records.
For the purpose of identifying potential causes of pulmonary infarcts, we identified 43 such cases diagnosed by surgical lung biopsy over a period of seven years, January 1996 through December 2002. Histopathologic changes of pulmonary infarction were identified in the resected lung specimen in all cases. The median age of these patients was 55 years (range 22 years to 85 years); 17 (40%) were women and 26 (60%) were men. Thirty-five patients (81%) had a smoking history. An underlying malignancy was present in 17 patients (40%). The underlying causes were identifiable in 32 cases (74%) based on review of clinical, laboratory, radiologic and histopathologic data. These causes included pulmonary thromboembolism in 17 cases (40%), pulmonary infection in 6 cases (14%), non-infectious inflammatory lung disease in 4 cases (9%), pulmonary torsion in 2 cases (5%), iatrogenic causes in 2 cases (5%), and tumor embolism in 1 case (2%). In 11 cases (26%), the underlying causes were not directly identifiable but were probably due to previous pulmonary thromboembolism.
We conclude that although pulmonary thromboembolism is the commonest cause of pulmonary infarction, a variety of other causes exist including angioinvasive infections, infective endocarditis, inflammatory lung diseases, pulmonary torsion, tumor or foreign body embolism, and pulmonary artery catheter deployment.
Although pulmonary thromboembolism is the commonest cause of pulmonary infarction a thorough review of clinical, laboratory, radiologic and histopathologic data is required to identify other potential causes. Based on our data we also feel that investigations for venous thromboembolism should be performed on all patients with a surgical biopsy specimen showing pulmonary infarction.

I was told that you may offer assistance with deer fencing. The deer continue to eat the hay and now will soon be invading the garden.
I would suggest contacting your Regional IDFG office and explaining your situation. In certain cases IDFG will assist with fencing of hay yards. Fencing of vegtable gardens is usually left to the homeowner. Each region has a Landowner Sportsman Coordinator, that is who you should talk with.
