Indian passport
Apply as soon as you can and make no mistakes in the application. Give an address where somebody will be there should a policeman show up to conduct an inquiry. Let everyone know to expect such a visit and, if you are not there, not say they don't know you. That's all you can do. Then it will take whatever time it takes.
Quote:I am not sure if they do it everywhere. Basically, the passport office asks your local police station if you are an ok person, and not some criminal with flight risk. Then it is up to the officer in charge there. Sometimes they see they have no bad record on you and just sign the paper. Sometimes a cop would show up to "investigate", which is usually a friendly chat with expectation of some "bakshish".

Some of the more complex issues that arise on the development scene is directly created by key elements that are held back. In particular are the driver libraries and source headers. While our development community does a pretty damn good job of giving us a variety of choices in the custom ROM scene, their abilities are limited with out all the tools they need to move forward.
That is where XDA recognized developer and CyanogenMod device maintainer, Codeworkx comes into play. Knowing well and good that the Galaxy SII has a lot of potential if Samsung would just release the small bits that are needed to help development take off. After all, if you buy a phone, it is yours. There is no reason you shouldn't be able to do whatever you want with it. To help get the ball rolling he has set up a petition for the masses to sign. Out lining exactly what the developers need in order to move forward and to make the Galaxy S II truly shine. They are shooting for 10,000 signatures and are currently at 5,817. You are free to sign if you so desire. We have a feeling that if a large enough body of people show support and interest in future development of the device, that Samsung might just say "OK". It is a hope and a dream, they can always just ignore the efforts. You don't need to own a Galaxy S II to sign the petition of course. The more support it receives from everyone the better chance we all have of future devices having the needed tools available at launch.
You can check out the original post at XDA, or head straight to the petition so you too can sign, or at least read up one what they are asking for, at Change.org.

Undergraduate Education
(213) 740-1111
Admission to undergraduate programs is granted by the USC Office of Admission. This office receives and processes all applications, evaluates credentials, and mails letters of acceptance to applicants who qualify for entrance. Admission to the university's degree programs must be granted in all cases by the USC Office of Admission and the appropriate selection committees. Only a letter from the Office of Admission grants official admission.
The University of Southern California admits qualified men and women as students regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, handicap, sexual orientation or status as a disabled veteran. After admission, students are accorded equal rights to participate in all university-sponsored programs and activities. The university does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, handicap, sexual orientation or status as a disabled veteran in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletics and other student activities.
Applicants with DisabilitiesIn compliance with the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), USC offers equal access to its degree programs to academically qualified applicants with documented disabilities. Applicants will be expected to have demonstrated by their record in a college preparatory high school curriculum or in an appropriate transferable college course of study that they can perform well in a competitive academic environment. See here and here for a discussion of possible accommodations. USC is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities.
Retention of RecordsCredentials submitted to the Office of Admission become the property of the university and cannot be returned to the student or duplicated for any purpose.
Application ProceduresStudents submit applications online at www.usc.edu/USConnect. Alternatively, students may download forms to print and submit via mail, or these forms may be obtained by mail or in person from the Office of Admission. Mail application requests to: Application Requests, University of Southern California, University Park, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0911. A nonrefundable fee will be charged with the completed application, although students with financial need may request a fee waiver. For specific application deadlines and requirements, refer to www.usc.edu/admission or the Applying to USC brochure.
Credentials for admission must include complete records of all previous high school and college or university work and the required test scores. Consult the Applying to USC brochure for detailed information about forwarding official records directly to the Office of Admission and requesting that testing agencies forward appropriate scores.
USC does not undertake the collection of these credentials. The application for admission and complete credentials should be submitted to the Office of Admission by the appropriate deadlines.
Factors given prime consideration for admission to undergraduate study are an applicant's previous academic success and the quality of all records presented. To ensure diversity in the composition of the student body, other considerations may include outstanding talent and abilities, extracurricular activities and letters of recommendation.
Deferring Admission A student is accepted only for the semester and program specified in the letter of admission. If a different semester is desired or if the student cannot arrive on campus in time for the specified semester, students may defer admission for one year by submitting a USC Admission Deferral Request Form to the Admission Office. A deferral may be requested within one year of the original semester of application. (Example: A student applied for the fall 2010 semester and wishes to have admission deferred to the fall 2011 semester.) Longer gaps required for religious reasons or for compulsory military service will also be considered.
Once students have been admitted, they complete, sign and date the Admission Deferral Request Form and submit it to the Office of Admission as soon as possible. Only students who have been formally admitted to USC may request a deferral.
As a private university, USC seeks a wide geographical distribution among its student body, and evaluates its out-of-state applicants using the same criteria as those used for California residents. Tuition and fees are the same for all students, regardless of state or country of residence.
School and Department Application RequirementsBecause of strong competition for admission, several schools and academic departments require supplementary application materials and may employ separate deadlines.

Admission from Secondary SchoolsProspective freshmen are evaluated on the content and rigor of their high school course work, their grades, standardized test scores, activity summary, essay, short answers and counselor/teacher recommendations. There are no absolute "cutoffs" or minimums for grades, rank in class or test scores. We are interested in the interplay of these elements as well as personal accomplishments and potential for success.
Academic ExpectationsThe most fundamental expectation of each entering student at USC is that she or he will have completed a rigorous high school curriculum in English, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign language and the arts. We realize, of course, that individual talents, circumstances and opportunities vary greatly. Therefore, no specific curriculum is prescribed. However, we do expect that prospective students will take advantage of the highest level of classes offered to them in their secondary schools.
Grade Point AverageWhen assessing grade point average, consideration is also given to class rank and to the strength and frequency of Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate course work in a student's curriculum. Naturally, we are interested in consistently strong academic performance throughout the four-year high school record. However, we realize that some bright students, for one reason or another, may encounter difficulties in ninth grade. In these cases, special attention is given to steady and substantial improvement throughout the sophomore, junior and senior years.
Standardized Test RequirementSAT and ACT USC requires either SAT or ACT scores (with the optional writing test) from:
- All freshman applicants attending high school in the United States (recommended for students in Canada);
- All freshman applicants who attend accredited American or international schools outside the U.S.;
- Any other freshman applicant who would like to be considered for merit scholarships;
- Transfer students who have accumulated fewer than 30 transferable semester units since finishing high school.
- For students who take the SAT more than once, USC records the highest scores for each section — critical reading, mathematics, and writing — even if achieved in different sittings. For students taking the ACT, USC will record the highest composite score.
If test information and application forms are not readily available, write to the College Board SAT Program, 901 South 42nd Street, Mount Vernon, IL 62824; or the American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, IA 52240. For the SAT, visit www.collegeboard.org; for the ACT visit www.act.org.
SAT Subject TestsWe only require SAT subject tests from freshman applicants who do not attend a regionally accredited high school (e.g., home school, some non-accredited parochial or community- based programs, even some newer schools). These students must submit three SAT subject exams, including one in mathematics. For all other applicants, these exams are optional but recommended. We find them helpful in evaluating applications for merit scholarships.
AP ExamsFreshman applicants who have taken Advanced Placement (AP) examinations are encouraged to provide those results.
TOEFLInternational freshman applicants whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). International freshman applicants with minimum scores of 600 on the SAT Critical Reading or a 27 on the ACT English are exempt from taking the TOEFL. The TOEFL must be taken within two years of the application date.
Credit by ExaminationStudents may earn a total of 32 semester units of credit toward their bachelor's degree by examination. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate credit is granted at USC for exams taken before high school graduation and will be evaluated solely according to USC's Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate policies.
Students who have also earned credit for college courses taken while in high school should refer here.
Advanced Placement Examinations (AP)USC grants college credit for the Advanced Placement Examinations of the Educational Testing Service. A student may be granted four semester units of credit for most AP tests with scores of four or five. For specific AP credit information call the Office of Admission, (213) 740-1111 or visit www.usc.edu/articulation.
International BaccalaureateUSC grants either 20 units of credit to students who earn the International Baccalaureate diploma with a score of 30 or higher, or six units for each score of 5, 6 or 7 on the IB Higher Level exams, for a maximum of four exams, whichever is higher. International Baccalaureate results should be sent directly from the International Baccalaureate Organization to: University of Southern California, Articulation Office, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0912. For more information, visit www.usc.edu/articulation.
Subject Credit by Special ExaminationSee the Subject Credit by Special Examination section for further information.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)USC does not grant credit on the basis of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Admission from Colleges and UniversitiesAn applicant may be admitted by transfer from a fully accredited college, university or community college, under the following conditions: (1) if the applicant has completed 30 or more transferable college semester units with an appropriately strong grade point average in an academically rigorous selection of courses; (2) if the applicant is not under the penalty of academic or disciplinary disqualification at any college or university previously attended and is entitled to an honorable dismissal; and (3) if proof of high school graduation on a high school transcript has been provided as part of the application materials. If fewer than 30 transferable semester units have been completed at the time of application, the applicant must submit — in addition to the high school transcript — the results of the SAT or the ACT assessment.
Students intending to transfer to USC should refer to the brochure Transferring to USC for detailed information about the university's transfer, admission and credit policies. Call the USC Office of Admission at (213) 740‑1111 or visit www.usc.edu/transferring.
The amount of advanced standing granted to a student transferring from another institution is determined in each individual case by the Office of Academic Records and Registrar. A minimum of 64 units toward the bachelor's degree must be earned in residence at USC. For a degree in Architecture, a minimum of 80 units must be earned in residence at USC. A maximum of 70 of the transferable units for this program may be earned at two-year colleges. For students in Engineering's "3-2" Program, at least 48 units must be earned in residence at USC. Two-thirds of any transferable course work must be completed at one of USC's four-year partner institutions.
It is the student's responsibility to report all college-level course work completed outside USC to the Office of Admission when completing the application form. Omitting such information constitutes a violation of the applicant's affidavit and may result in the revocation of admission to the university.
Records of all courses including correspondence study, extension or summer session courses taken in other institutions after the student's admission to USC must also be filed with the Office of Academic Records and Registrar immediately following the completion of the work.
Admission of International StudentsThe University of Southern California has an outstanding record of commitment to international education. From a small presence during our early history, our international enrollment grew to an average of 200 students by the 1930s. After declining international enrollments in the years surrounding World War II, USC began rebuilding and in 1951 began providing specialized admission services to international students. By 1964, more than 1,000 international students were enrolled at USC. Today, the Office of Admission serves thousands of prospective students each year by providing both general and specialized information and by maintaining the expertise necessary to evaluate academic records from the various educational systems around the world. The Office of Admission also issues the required eligibility certificates for students to enter the United States.
At USC, an international student is an individual of foreign nationality who will be entering or has already entered the United States with a student visa. However, students already residing in the U.S. and holding other non-immigrant visas (such as E2, H2 or L2) are also international students. International students do not qualify for need-based financial aid. U.S. permanent residents, naturalized U.S. citizens and U.S. citizens residing and attending school outside the United States are not considered international students and are eligible for need-based financial aid.
For complete information, see Admission of International Students.

There seems to be something for virtually everyone in the 99 Edward R. Murrow awards announced today by the Radio Television Digitial News Association (RTDNA) But NBC News has the bragging rights among the major television newscasters, winning video awards for Overall Excellence, Video Newscast (for a report, "Blown Away: Southern Tornadoes"), and Writing ("American Story With Bob Dotson"). ABC News took honors for Video Breaking News Coverage ("Target bin Laden: The Death of Public Enemy #1"), Video Continuing Coverage (Gabrielle Giffords), and Video Reporting: Hard News (World News With Diane Sawyer, "A Cry For Help: Famine In Somalia"). CBS News scored for Video Feature Reporting (60 Minutes: "The Gardens Of The Queen") and Video Investigative Reporting (The CBS Evening News: "Gunwalker"). In addition, CNBC won Video News Documentary ("Billions Behind Bars: Inside America's Prison Industry") and for its Website. CNN took Video News Series ("Homs: City Under Siege") and Use Of Video (Joplin Gawker). And ESPN won for Video Sports Reporting ("E:60 Angel in the Outfield"). You can find these entries and other TV, radio, and digital winners here.
NBC News Wins Fourth Straight Edward R. Murrow Award For "Overall Excellence"
5 Comments
Proving that both are basically a joke these days.
I remember when this award used to mean something.
Ummm, how about you give NBC an award for "Overall Excellence" in how NOT to report stories.
FOX News didn't win anything? I'm shocked! CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC all won something…..gag me :(
Bragging rights my ass. A bunch of liberals choosing to award the MOST liberal and biased news organization in the country? …how in the world did THAT happen? Its as ridiculous as Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize before even governing. Non of these awards can be taken seriously by anyone with a brain.
The real award goes to the Fox News Channel. Each day the American people choose to honor that news organization by tuning in by overwhelming numbers …and it isn't just conservatives tuning in to produce those ratings.
So NBC, the news network that until yesterday never mentioned the Fast and Furious ongoing case, recieves an award for journolism excellence……seems to be somthing missing here. Oh yeah its ETHICS and INTEGRITY.

As the ideas continue to be brought into discussion, Miami-Dade County officials are truly pushing on the expansion of Zoo Miami, in hopes of it finally becoming a multi-attraction destination. The proposed development would create a significant amount of jobs that would help boost the local economy. The plan in action is being labeled as the "Zoo Miami Entertainment Area", which would combine Zoo Miami and the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, in an attempt to create a local version of Universal Studios Orlando. Not too long ago, Zoo Miami received a pair of cheetah cubs from South Africa that are looking to become the new "stars" of this generation. Zoo Miami is looking for new ways to attract a crowd, and this definitely looks like the step in the right direction. The county has started accepting proposals from developers, and it honestly looks like the idea of a theme park, water park, or some sort of CityWalk type of venue, is most certainly not that farfetched. Miami-Dade County officials ensure the public that because this is a public-private partnership; it wouldn't cost any taxpayer of Miami-Dade Country anything. Developers are planning to submit proposals before May next year, in hopes of a multi-attraction destination by 2015.
You can continue to stay updated with Zoo Miami through the official site, which can be found right here.

What is the Difference Between Digital Marketing and SEO?
Digital marketing and SEO could be considered to be the same thing; but they are two separate entities. Many people still refer to both of these roles as if they have the same function and they are not far off in reality. A digital marketing professional in New Jersey is a consultant who will extend the reach of SEO strategies to benefit the company being represented. There is even some who say that modern SEO specialists must be able to do a little bit of everything and maybe it should be called something like integrated digital marketing.
What's the Difference Between a Digital Marketing Manager and an SEO Specialist
In some instances, try there really are not a lot of differences between these two roles. And a lot of times, physician both of them will perform the exact same functions and even have the same skill set; however they may use different titles just for clarity and marketing purposes. An SEO specialist in Boston is a person who has the skills, experience and knowledge to optimize a site in order to improve its ranking in search engine result pages (SERPS). In order to optimize a site or page, he will employ a wide variety of SEO best practices and strategies. One of the main focuses is to increase traffic to the site.
A digital marketing professional will manage an SEO campaign along with several other areas indicating that SEO is a tool used in a digital marketing campaign. An SEO specialist may use various strategies and techniques on a campaign such as content marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, and even mobile marketing; but a digital marketing professional may use these as well as other media sources such as TV, SMS, Radio, and Billboards. To sum up the difference in the two is to say that the SEO professional is working on obtaining organic visits where the digital marketing professional is increasing the online presence of a company which expands beyond and SEO campaign. This is a difficult line to define as the two can frequently overlap.
Latest Trends in Digital Marketing and SEO
Some say that SEO is dead, but this could not be further from the truth. There is a lot more to an SEO campaign than building links. It's about constructing high quality websites which are indexed and ranked highly by search engines; but that are also user friendly. Sites have to be seen as valuable to both human eyes and web crawlers – that's the job of the SEO. Digital marketing incorporates the use of SEO best practices but works to use available and reasonable means to increase and improve an online presence in order to reach consumers; hopefully before competitors do. This is the goal of a digital marketing strategy.
Marrying SEO and Digital Marketing
Integrating these two sets of strategies can be complimentary to both. When SEO best practices and digital marketing are integrated properly the two will not only complement the other; but they will help to reinforce other strategies and end up with a much greater impact. By combining the two into one huge campaign it can also have the effect of making the entire marketing process much more consistent even though different mediums are being used. The Two working together can essentially be more effective at meeting overall marketing objectives as well as working together to increase the bottom line of the business. By integrating online SEO practices with online and offline digital marketing strategies, a campaign can become very effective, increase ROI and bring a very cohesive and consistent professional presence to consumers. This helps connect the business with the consumer and established the brand more firmly in their minds.

Coach Heckman here to lay down some knowledge. As most of you know the CrossFit Games Open is right around the corner, and that means it's time to get this gym into gear.
Here is what you need to know:
Registration begins February 1st. EVERYONE is welcome to compete. In fact, the more the merrier! For example, last year CF New England had 250 athletes participate in the Open. They ranked 4th in the world, and won as an Affiliate at the Games. Now I know what you're all thinking, "But our gym doesn't have 250 members to even meet that quota." Well then, it looks like everyone will just have to compete just to get close.
After the Feb 1st Registration, Crossfit HQ will announce that week's workout—and every subsequent week's workout—on Wednesday at 5 p.m. PT or 8pm our time (starting February 22). Everyone will have until the following Sunday at 8 p.m. to complete that week's workout and submit their score. Once you submit your workouts to the Games site, you'll be able to find your rank, both worldwide and in your region. You get one point for each place (i.e. five points for 5th place) for each workout. Your overall score is the sum of all the workout scores, and lowest total points wins. The individual athletes and teams that perform the best across the five Open workouts, in each of the 17 regions, will be invited to compete at the Regionals.
Alright, let's get STOKED!! And make sure you try to get in here everyday to tame those tigers. I'll be updating, and reminding you guys and gals about all things Open as it draws closer. I'm certain that we are the ones to rep Philly in this Open.
-The Heckman

Dummy Dismissal
My 18mth old is quite attached to his dummy. After speaking with our family paediatrician, he should be nearing, or already rid, of hi dummy. I is going to cause a significant problem if I allow him to continue use until he is a bit older?
30th July 2014 05:28 AM #2
Thank you for your question.
It is best if a child can stop using a dummy at around 12 months of age. However, many children use a dummy for comfort so this is a lot easier said then done. A lot of children do use a dummy throughout their second year of life without any significant problems.
What may be best is to start gradually and gently weaning your son off the dummy now. You can start with the daytime if he uses it for comfort in the night. Try to get him so involved with other activities in the day that he almost doesn't have time to think about using the dummy. Night time weaning can come gradually once the daytime is sorted. Some parents find it helpful to introduce another toy as a comforter to help them find comfort in something else.
The issue with continuing dummy use beyond 12 months of age is that it can interfere with speech and language development. It is also associated with increased ear infections, although not in every child. Has your son suffered from any ear infections? It can affect a child's teeth although this is thought to be a temporary issue as long as the dummy use is stopped by age 4.
What are your thoughts?
Warm wishes,

Burger King's California Whopper is Neither New Nor Healthy
The California Whopper: Green and mean, but not lean.
Ever since Burger King dethroned their totally-creepy mascot, we've been wondering what's the next move for the Miami-based fast-food giant. Here's a, like, totally rad hint at the totally cool sandwich that BK is featuring, starting Monday -- the California Whopper.
According to an article in USA Today, the commercial launch of the California Whopper as campaign and sandwich might be Burger King's entry into the healthier food market.
Short Order did a little research and found that the California Whopper, made with guacamole, Swiss cheese and bacon, is neither new nor healthy.
While the California Whopper may be new to your friendly neighborhood
Burger King on the corner, the sandwich has long been on Whopper Bar menus.
And if you're looking for a healthy adventure in eating, a trip to the
"Golden State" might not be your best option. As stated on Burger King's
the California Whopper has 800 calories (510 calories from fat), 56
grams of fat (18 grams of saturated fat), and 1,400 milligrams of
Plus, it looks like the United States is late to the game, even in the
mass-market arena, by the looks of this completely weird German
commercial for the Cali Whopper we found. We never thought anything would make us want the creepy King back ... until this:

It hasn't gotten lonely at the top quite yet for Millikan. The Rams brought home a second straight Moore League girls gymnastics team title on Friday night, delivering a total score of 169.10.
In addition to the team championship, Millikan's Larissa Fielder owned the gold medal podium and was the meet's top overall performer with a total score of 37.55.
A new addition to the team this season, Fielder took first place on the uneven parallel bars, the balance beam and the floor exercise. On the fourth and final apparatus, the vault, she placed second.
"I think we deserved it," Fielder said of the team title. "We worked hard all year and everyone put up their best performance.
"I try to do my best every time and I did really well today and I'm glad."
Millikan coach Ashleigh Ferguson credited her team for battling all season and Fielder for embracing an immediate leadership role.
"She (Fielder) was a little quiet at first and it has been awesome to watch this wonderful person bloom," she said. "This has been great. We've had quite a few injuries this year and two pretty serious ones, so to be able to stay on top, it feels good."
Host Wilson High School claimed second place with an overall score of 166.30.
Alejandra Alvarez took first place on the vault for the Bruins, as well as third on the bars, fifth on the beam and second overall with a score of 36.20.
"It's really fun to get first," Alvarez said. "We took second but we tried our hardest so it's pretty cool. I will be back next year and the goal is definitely winning Moore League next season."
The Bruins had their bye on the final rotation and a lead on the scorecards, but floor performances of 9.5 and 9.2 - good for first and third - by Fielder and teammate Evelyn Chen, Millikan took over.
Wilson has won 12 league titles, with its last coming in 2009.
St. Joseph (158.5) came in third, followed by Lakewood (156.15) and Valley Christian (144.3).
Millikan's JV squad also won the championship with a total of 140.2 points and was led by Maritza Martinez who finished first overall as well as on the beam.

We hear a lot these days about 'family engagement.' So just what does that mean?
For families, family engagement is about the knowledge, attitudes, values, and behaviors that enable children to be motivated, enthusiastic, and successful learners.
For schools and libraries, family engagement means respectful partnerships that offer the information, guidance, and opportunities for families to be active in their children's learning and development.
Family engagement is no longer just about how families are involved in schools—it is much broader. Children spend only 20% of their waking hours in school. Learning happens both in school and out of school - as "anywhere, anytime learning" – and children and youth thrive when they have opportunities to explore and discover their interests in a variety of spaces, including at home, in the community, and in public libraries.
For public libraries, family engagement is a natural next step in supporting children's learning and development.
At the Cordova Public Library we are continuing to strive to work with the community as a whole and provide a place for safe growth, conversation, and lifelong learning. Wander in and see how we are doing.
The first library in Cordova began as a "reading room" within the cozy walls of the Red Dragon. Rev. Eustace Ziegler thought it important to offer the men working on the Copper River and Northwest Railway proper recreational opportunities and ran an informal lending library in the clubhouse. "A fireplace in the center of the room was kept burning for cheer," stated Ziegler.
Located on donated railroad property, the Red Dragon still stands as a testament to Ziegler's efforts. In June of 1925 the women's guild of St. George's Episcopal Church opened the book collection to the public creating Cordova's first public library. Since that time the library has occupied the Adams building and the Windsor Hotel before moving to the Centennial Building in 1971. In November 2015 the library moved to The Cordova Center, a spectacular multi-purpose facility designed to meet the needs of Cordovans well into the future!
Learn to speak Pirate @ Your Library!
Or any other language you might be interested in because now the Cordova Public Library is offering access to a fabulous language website called 'Mango.'
Mango is free for all library patrons and can be accessed anywhere with an Internet connection. Each lesson combines real life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world application by focusing on the four key elements of language learning: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and culture.
Mango offers access to 60 foreign language courses and 17 English courses taught completely in the user's native language. In addition to traditional language courses, Mango also offers the opportunity to learn through foreign film with Mango Premiere™ and access to a variety of specialty mini courses, like Pirate, Medical Spanish and romance courses. Mango can be accessed at the library, remotely, or even on-the-go with apps for iPhone®, Android™, Kindle® and Nook®.
"We are thrilled to join the growing list of libraries across the country that offer Mango to their patrons," said Technology Coordinator Jason Gabrielson. "Some people need to learn a second language for business or travel. Others want to for personal or professional development. No matter the reason, learning a language should be fun. With Mango, it definitely is."
To learn more about Mango, stop by the library and ask a librarian for an introduction. Library card holders can access Mango here on the website. For more information, contact the Cordova Public Library at 424-6667.

Sabiniano Manrique de Lara
Sabiniano Manrique de Lara was the Spanish Governor General of the Philippines from July 25, 1653 until September 8, 1663. He was a native of Málaga, a Knight of the Order of Calatrava and ex-castellan of Acapulco. Upon his arrival at Cavite on July 22, 1653, he immediately took the governorship. His term experienced an earthquake in Manila on August 20, 1658, and a year-long insurrections from the natives starting 1660 and among the Chinese in 1662. On May 6, 1662, he ordered that the San José Fort in Zamboanga be evacuated and the garrison be returned to Manila in preparation for their defense against threat of Chinese invasion by Koxinga, a Chinese pirate. After his term, he returned to his hometown and later became a priest.

Neural signature of the conscious processing of auditory regularities
Document Type:Article

Abstract:Can conscious processing be inferred from neurophysiological measurements? Some models stipulate that the active maintenance of perceptual representations across time requires consciousness. Capitalizing on this assumption, we designed an auditory paradigm that evaluates cerebral responses to violations of temporal regularities that are either local in time or global across several seconds. Local violations led to an early response in auditory cortex, independent of attention or the presence of a concurrent visual task, whereas global violations led to a late and spatially distributed response that was only present when subjects were attentive and aware of the violations. We could detect the global effect in individual subjects using functional MRI and both scalp and intracerebral event-related potentials. Recordings from 8 noncommunicating patients with disorders of consciousness confirmed that only conscious individuals presented a global effect. Taken together these observations suggest that the presence of the global effect is a signature of conscious processing, although it can be absent in conscious subjects who are not aware of the global auditory regularities. This simple electrophysiological marker could thus serve as a useful clinical tool.

Also, they found that inhibitors of eEF2 kinase induce fast-acting behavioral antidepressant-like effects.

Written for practitioners, this book addresses corporate governance and the role of the board of directors in multinational corporations. Throughout the world, corporations are experiencing the second major transition in corporate governance of this century. The nature of the relationship between the corporation and the rest of society is changing fundamentally. The corporate board has unique responsibilities during this transition, but as it tries to respond directors are faced with destabilizing paradoxes: resolving who is in control--management or the board, achieving critical judgment while maintaining detachment, and avoiding becoming either a cozy club or a collection of all-stars. This book, based on interviews with 71 directors serving on more than 500 boards in eight countries, shows the nature of the challenges and suggests ways to analyze and confront them. This major international study compares the experiences of board members in Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Venezuela.

Age-Friendly Sarnia
Age-Friendly Sarnia
The City of Sarnia is in the process of creating an Age Friendly Community Plan with the assistance from a grant received from the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat. The grant will assist the City of Sarnia with developing, implementing, and evaluating local aging strategies to support Sarnia's aging demographic and further enable people of all ages to fully participate in the community.
Lambton College's Office of Applied Research and Innovation will be leading the research along with the support of a steering committee of representative consisting of seniors, the County of Lambton, the City of Sarnia, service providers, Sarnia Accessibility Advisory Committee, and other stakeholders.
Through community consultation and engagement such as surveys, focus groups, interviews and community forums; Age Friendly Sarnia will develop a plan to create a vibrant community that supports healthy and active aging in accordance with the World Health Organization's eight essential elements of an Age Friendly Community:
• Housing
• Transportation
• Outdoor spaces & buildings
• Community support & health services
• Communication & information
• Civic participation & employment
• Respect & social inclusion
• Social participation
By focusing on these areas, the City will be able to create a comprehensive plan that will help form a community that supports the well-being of an aging population through inclusiveness, dignity, respect and opportunity.
Age-Friendly Sarnia timeline:
Release survey to the public – March, 2016
Conduct focus groups and one-on-one interviews – May to October, 2016
Attend community events (Seniors Fair, Seniors Cruise etc.)
Host community summit – November, 2016
Release final Age-Friendly Sarnia action plan to Sarnia City Council and the public in January, 2017
"Sarnia's median age is approximately 5 years older than the provincial average, 46.7 and 42.3, respectively (Stats Can, 2015)."

NCAA bylaws state that only teams who "have an equal or greater number of wins than losses" can qualify for a bowl. A team can have a losing record and go to a bowl only if they are the conference champion, and only if the NCAA votes to grant a waiver.
With Stanfurd's win over Notre Dame, they may go to the BCS. If Oregon wins next week, UCLA will be 6-7 and ineligible for a bowl. The likely bowl selections are:
Rose - Oregon
BCS - Stanfurd
Alamo - Washington
Holiday - Cal *
Sun - Arizona State **
Vegas - Utah **
* The Holiday could pick Cal, Utah, or Arizona State. Cal has provided excellent attendance at Holiday Bowls in the past and is the logical choice geographically.
** The Sun Bowl would want Arizona State, as they are the best choice geographically. Ditto for the Vegas Bowl and Utah.
There would be no additional Pac-12 teams that are eligible.

Software, to borrow a phrase from venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, is eating the world. Last month Facebook announced its billionth active member. An Android-powered Google is worth more than Microsoft. Companies from Kickstarter to Khan Academy to Skype to Amazon to Etsy are transforming the retail, telecoms, education, manufacturing and financial services sectors, writes Andrew Keen.
East London's Silicon Roundabout, a cluster of tech companies, has received support from the British government. Yet some people remain sceptical. Sir James Dyson, an inventor, has told the BBC that hardware manufacturers are a smarter investment than software companies.

|Re: problems with deleteDocuments

First, let me say that I ran a few tests to determine the behavior, so it's entirely possible someone who actually understands the code will tell me I'm all wet. The problem here is that for every scenario in which deleting on partial field matches would be good, I can create one where it would be bad. Or worse, disastrous <G>.... The issue isn't deleting multiple documents at once, it's deleting on partial term matches. In your example, you could have, say, two IDs for the attachments, one the unique ID and one the parent ID. This would allow you to remove all the attachments in one delete, and use a separate delete for the original. Or you could have a "group" id for an e-mail and it's attachments, and delete them all with a single delete on the "group" term. Or..... But I'd *much* rather have a system that required me to jump through a hoop when I wanted this kind of behavior than have a system that allowed me to shoot myself in the foot. Or blow off the whole leg. And deleting on, say, a text field with a partial term match on "the" is just too terrible to contemplate <G>....

I disagree, and frankly, am very surprised that "exact total term matches" is actually a requirement (I never tried it, so you may be absolutely right, I just hope you aren't). Let me give you just one example where id fields containing multiple words, and the ability for a delete query to match several documents, are useful. Consider an application for indexing emails with attachments. The email text, and each document attachment, is indexed as a separate document. When an email is deleted, we also need to delete its attachments. How shall we do this? One simple implementation is to have an "id" field for each document; The email text document will have a unique id, and the attachment document will have two ids: its own unique id, and the containing email's id. When we need to remove an email and all its attachments, we just remove all documents that match the email's id - and this will include the main text and the attachments. By the way, the method is called "deleteDocuments" - doesn't that imply that it's perfectly acceptable to delete many documents with one term? -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jul 8 2007, 22 Tammuz 5767 IBM Haifa Research Lab |----------------------------------------- |I am not a complete idiot - some parts http://nadav.harel.org.il |are missing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]

The first offering from Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group rap crew is cocky, to say the least, but that might just go hand-in-hand with being 'Self Made.' On the 15-track effort, out today (May 23), the Bawse shows he's the ringleader to hip-hop's most thugged-out crew, but the boastfulness of selling drugs and having the guns, dollar bills and cars to prove it hits overload at times.
Comparing it to other recent label compilations (i.e. Young Money's 'We Are Young Money'), it lacks the obvious radio-friendly hits and pop-nuances to hurl its signees into the throws of No. 1 status and secular mainstream recognition. But that doesn't mean Ross and co. lack what it takes to be No. 1, at least on the hip-hop charts. There are several standouts on 'Self-Made' — the album's title track, the Malcolm X shout-out 'By Any Means,' the gun-slinging 'Don't Let Me Go' and the in-your-face 'Ima Boss' for starters. "It's MMG — the dream team," Meek Mill raps on the opening track, and the dream team goes in hard.
With Mill, Wale, Pill and the not-to-be-overlooked Teedra Moses — Moses adds a gorgeous softness to MMG's gritty delivery throughout 'Maybach Music Group Presents Self Made, Vol. 1′ — still working on each of their own MMG debuts, this serves as a little taste of what's to come, with each Rozay protégé giving a little background search into their lives. 'Self Made' comes off as an above average compilation, and the album's opening statement is the lasting impression you get after a spin: "I like this Maybach Music."
1. 'Self Made' (feat. Wale, Meek Mill, Pill, Rick Ross and Teedra Moses)
Produced by Just Blaze
The album's biggest anthem kicks things off with the "MMG dream team" — Wale, Meek Mill, Pill — relaying tales of their come-up into the throws of hip-hop headlines over a punchy Just Blaze snare beat. While Rick Ross takes a back seat, only boasting "self-made" and "born to win" ad-libs here and there, MMG's First Lady Teedra Moses "ooh's" over rhymes like Mill's "Motivated just from being broke/ Had a dream like Martin Luther, little bit of hope …"
2. 'Tupac Back' (feat. Meek Mill and Rick Ross)
Produced by Mike Will, Eardrummers
Mills and Rozay come in hard, switching off on a post-apocalyptic beat from Mike Will and Eardrummers. "There's all these britches screaming that Tupac back," Ross raps, but something seems to be missing from this track. While the album's title track served a purpose, this attempt at comparing Mill to Tupac falls short and works better as a shout-out to one of the game's best rappers.
3. '600 Benz' (feat. Wale, Rick Ross and Jadakiss)
Produced by Cardiak
Benz's aren't the only hot rides mentioned on this album; Ross makes sure everyone knows he big rims it with two Aston Martins ( on 'Pacman') and likes the flashy Bugatti. The most interesting thing about this song — and the following three tracks — is how similar the beats all sound, not much of a departure from Ross' hit 'B.M.F.' "600 Benz, Condo 600 grand/ I got 12 hundred kicks them straight from Japan," Wale gloats.
4. 'Pacman' (feat. Rick Ross and Pill)
Produced by Young Shun, DJ Spinz
Things don't change much sonically from the dark, cryptic straight-out Gotham City sound blaring on the previous two bangers. Instead of rapping about the Dark Knight, which would be more fitting, Pill and Rick "King of Diamonds" Ross build on their gangsta street cred, rapping on this Young Shun and DJ Spinz-produced track about "what they sellin'." Hint: You can fry it in the pan.
5. 'By Any Means' (feat. Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Wale and Pill)
Produced by Lil' Lody
Originally titled 'Malcolm X,' Rozay taps on the subject of religion in hip-hop, rapping, "As-Salamu Alaykum Wa alaikum as salaam/ Whatever your religion, kiss the ring on the Don." There are multiple lines in reference to the life of the late Muslim minister and human rights activist, and how religion lead him away from crime, but the history lesson gets washed out by MMG's ironic money laundering lyrics. Shout out to Wale who gets a little witty on his verse, rhyming, "On the Bible you Koran but you can't hide." One of the album's standout tracks.
6. 'Fitted Cap' (feat. Wale, Meek Mill, Rick Ross and J. Cole)
Produced by Raz
The intro on this how-to-dress-like-you're-self-made track — if you're wondering: "My Jordans high-top, snapback fitted cap" and "My Levis, they 501, my snapback is hella bent" — sounds like the album is finally heading in another direction, but alas returns to the all too familiar gritty, drumline beat, despite the J. Cole assist here.
7. 'Rise' (feat. Pill, Wale, Teedra Moses, Cyhi Da Prynce and Curren$y)
Produced by Cardiak
MMG switch things up here, finally. Taking a more R&B approach with an old soul sample. Cyhi Da Prynce and Curren$y add to the "self-made" theme rapping, "It was my only wish to rise, all them jealous mothaf—ers I despise" on the chorus. The second Cardiak-produced track on the album, the beat is a complete 180 from its predecessor.
8. 'That Way (feat. Wale and Rick Ross and Jeremih)
Produced by Lex Luger
Jeremih helps keep things quiet on this Lex Luger-produced slow burner for the ladies. Wale shows off his softer side, rapping about a 22-year-old he met in Seattle, sounding like competition for Trey Songz when he spits, "You'll probably find someone but you'll never find another Wale." On his verse, Ross also raps about his own groupie, "At baggage claim awaiting miss thang outta St. Louis/ Know she shining bright, got on my Cartier, she my Billie Jean we menage with Mary Jane."
9. 'Ima Boss' (feat. Meek Mill and Rick Ross)
Produced by Jahlil Beats
Mill speeds it up again on this synth-heavy look-at-me anthem, rapping that he calls the shots. The Philly rapper gives a more personal account of his upbringing: "I never had a job, you know I had to sell yay." Bawse doesn't seem to mind his protégé and 'BloodHounz' MC wearing a crown too, dropping in for a verse.
10. 'Don't Let Me Go' (feat. Pill and Gunplay)
Produced by the Inkredibles
Hands down, one of the album's best tracks. If MMG want to make some more of those bills they rap so much about, they'd be smart to make this one of the album's radio singles. Produced by the Inkredibles, Pill goes hard, delivering retrospective lyrics about rolling with a gun in his pocket all his life over a gospel-laden backbeat. As cool as MMG make their glocks and the thug lifestyle sound throughout 'Self-Made,' P.I. double L comes off the wiser of the young up-and-comers: "I can't pull my gun away/ I run the streets with yay/ But please don't let me go/ I can't have no fun today/ Police takes me away/ But please don't make go."
11. 'Pandemonium' (feat. by Wale, Meek Mill and Rick Ross)
Produced by the Inkredibles
The Inkredibles deliver again on this street huslin' track. Mill delivers the best lines on the lead single for the album, which already sports a music video.
12. 'Play Your Part' (feat. Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Wale & D.A. from Chester French)
Produced by the Inkredibles
Chester French songwriter D.A. sings the chorus on this wildly different track. Mill, Wale and Ross rap between his Adult Contemporary croons on the chorus. The song's dynamics work well together, and make it 'Self Made"s most pop-friendly track.
13. 'Ridin' on Dat Pole' (feat. by Pill)
Produced by Raz
This is Pill's ode to the stripper. He starts with a very detailed discription of the "Crique de Soliel s—" he likes to see on the pole. Raz delivers the beat, which is a return to the techno, drumline tempo of the album's earlier tracks. While it's one of the album's shorter songs, 'Ridin' on Dat Pole' is by far the dirtiest, and we mean that good kind of dirty.
14. 'Big Bank' (feat Pill, Meek Mill, Torch, Rick Ross and French Montana)
Produced by Young Shun, Lex Luger
Ross starts things off on this one, and keeps things flowing with verses between each feature, which include Torch and French Montana on 'Big Bank.' Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers even gets a shout out on this one.
15. 'Running Rebels' (feat. by Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley and Teedra Moses)
Produced by Tone P
Great ending to a long album that delivers on what you paid for. Moses' whispery singing — she provides the chorus with "City lights got me on another level, feelin' alive tonight …" — and horns add a glittery element to a track that sounds like it was made for cruisin' around with the top down. Stalley — a rapper rumored to have been signed with MMG's but later denied reports — shows up on what will most likely be his biggest track to date.

It doesn't matter what form the URLs are in. All URLs are converted to
absolute URLs, "normalized", and compared against the limits of the search.
In your example, it will see that both URLs are on the same server and
index it. The only way it *WOULDN'T* be indexed is if the config was
something like this:
start_url: http://theirsite.com/index.html
limit_urls_to: ${start_url}
Then the search will be truly limited to just that one page. It's probably
not what the person intended, but ht://Dig is really doing what it's told.

I'm cheesy sometimes, but not bad cheesy more like a very fine Jarlsberg or a really stinky Roquefort.
I've been to Spain thrice in my life. the second time I lived in Madrid for three months, and one day I will die there.
I like cheese.
I play organ in a band called The Moon Walks.
Listing things in a self-summary is the only way I feel comfortable writing about myself, but I promise it's not indicative of stupidity (at least I hope it isn't).

TWO former Test Valley borough councillors have been awarded the title of Honorary Alderman to celebrate their outstanding contribution to the local community.
Rod Bailey and Marion Kerley have together accumulated more than 50 years' service as councillors and both have served as mayor.
Members agreed to award the titles at a special council meeting.
Leader of the Council, Councillor Ian Carr said: "The time and energy Rod and Marion have committed to their local communities is simply outstanding.
"This is our small way of recognising and celebrating their dedication to public service. They have touched the lives of so many residents in the borough and the legacy of their work will make a difference for decades to come."
Rod and Marion are the first people in the borough to be awarded the title.
During her acceptance speech Mrs Kerley said: "I am very aware that today, Test Valley Borough Council is making history, and Rob Bailey and I are part of that history making.
"Such mixed emotions when I received the letter informing me of the Council's decision to confer the title of Alderman upon me.
"I was humbled, proud, honoured and excited."

At a recent dinner I mentioned to a friend that I had found half-pints of a delicious, locally made ice cream at my local Union Market. When I mentioned it was Alchemy, she informed me that they made vegan ice cream. "I don't think so," I said. "It was rich and creamy." She told me she was pretty sure it was vegan; was I talking about the same Alchemy that sold ice cream at Smorgasburg? "That's them," I said. "But the ice cream I ate wasn't vegan. It was way too creamy." Well I was wrong. Alchemy makes incredible vegan ice cream. According to research my dad did (more on that in a minute) they use "a blend of coconut & hazelnut milks" for their base. Hazelnut milk? Who ever heard of such a thing? But it works. A 12oz container will set you back $5.99 at Union market, which is the exclusive purveyor of Alchemy in the off-season. Alchemy also gives poetic names to their flavors, or potions as their website refers to them. I had Crunching Leaves, a name and flavor evocative of Autumn. It's a pumpkin ice cream, but one that's heavy on the pumpkin flavor and light with the sigar and spices that make up most other pumpkin ice creams. So now, on to my dad's research…
Month: January 2013
Cheeky Sandwiches
On a quiet street in the sort of empty area in Chinatown sits a tiny restaurant, Cheeky Sandwiches. Definitely one of those places you'll miss if you blink. The space is small and the door to get in is smaller but the owner is all heart. He's super friendly and makes one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in town. This is one of those places I regret not going sooner.
Delicious fried chicken on a bed of slaw topped with gravy and between a biscuit. What better combo?
– Cheeky Sandwiches 35 Orchard St, NYC
While everyone was away during the holidays, me, Howard and our friend Corrine took a trip to Krescendo, the newly opened restaurant by Elizabeth Falkner. With getting 1st prize in the 2012 World Pizza Championships in Naples, Italy we definitely had a higher than normal expectation for the pizzas. While I enjoyed my meal, Howard wasn't too thrilled (he had the margherita).
Is Jeni's Ice Cream Worth The Price?
So in my last two ice cream posts (see here and here) I mentioned my belief that I have become something of an expert in small batch ice creams. And yet for a long time there was a huge gap in my knowledge — Jeni's Ice Cream. Oh, I'd heard of Jeni's before, and heard that it was excellent. But it costs a staggering $12 a pint, so the few times I saw it for sale here in Brooklyn (Jeni's is an Ohio brand, but can sometimes be found in specialty shops like the Greene Grape and Union Market) I could not bring myself to spend the money on it. Back when I wrote a profile of Phin & Phebes I got into a discussion about ice cream with one of the owners, who assured me that Jeni's was indeed worth the price. So a few moths ago during a trip to Brooklyn Fare (the market, not the chef's table) I splurged on a pint of Goat Cheese With red Cherries.
Chozen Ice Cream
Last week when I wrote about Graeter's Ice Cream I mentioned that I have been eating lots of small brand and locally produced ice creams. One of those brands is Chozen, an ice cream company that makes ice creams with Jewish-themed flavors (Kosher, of course). Flavors like Ronne's Rugelach (cinnamon ice cream with rugelach chunks), or Coconut Macaroon. My favorite flavor is Apples & Honey. If you're not Jewish you may not have had this flavor combination before, but it is a traditional Rosh Hashanah snack. Something about making sure the coming new year will be sweet, I think. Also, if you haven't had this combo before you should definitely try it; there's something about the smoky sweetness of the honey and the way it contrasts with the crisp, acidic sweetness of the apple that's just magical. So Chozen's version of honey ice cream (!) with pieces of apple in it. Their website is currently under construction and it looks like they may be unveiling new flavors. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine
At the moment I have 83 places saved on my To Eat list. Everyone has one. The problem for me though is that a good half of those places are way out of my budget so therefore I will probably never gonna go. But a good handful, I'm sure I will..someday. Like just few days ago, I was able to cross off 2 from the list. Cheeky Sandwiches (which I'll post about later) and Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine. Funny thing, I have walked by Shu Jiao Fu Zhou Cuisine so many times but never once did I think to go in. It took someone else to write about it, then I read it and then found myself looking for it after eating at Cheeky Sandwiches.
They're known for their fish balls, heck "fish ball" is part of the name but since I already ate, I decided to get a plate of their rice noodles with peanut butter sauce. For $2, you get a plate of warm slightly chewy rice noodles with peanut sauce on the bottom and a bowl of soup. The peanut sauce was really nice and definitely loved the chewiness of the rice noodles. I never had this dish, warm, it is always cold or at room temperature but it was delicious.

Graeter's Ice Cream

I've eaten so much local and/or small batch ice cream in the past few years that I have started to consider myself something of an expert in the field. When Donny pointed out to me that we had been offered a free sample of Graeter's ice cream, from Ohio, I was intrigued. Here was an opportunity to expand my field of knowledge to the Midwest. We were being offered the ice cream to let people know that Graeter's is now available in the NYC area, at both D'Agostinos and Stop & Shop stores. The PR email let us know that Graeter's is a favorite of such luminaries as Oprah, Dr. Oz, Sarah Jessica Parker, George Clooney, Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay. More important to us, it's the childhood favorite of our friend Scott, who grew up in Ohio. When he found out that we were getting some free Graeter's he got as giddy as a schoolgirl. I was sent samples of four different flavors: Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Buckeye Blitz. I ended up eating almost all of it myself, but I saved the Black Raspberry for Scott, since that seemed to be the one he was most excited about. After the jump, you'll find my impressions, along with Scott's thoughts.

Awful. 5 Days to get in touch!
"I placed an order for ammo after reading their policy posted online about shipping restrictions. They emailed me requesting ID that their policy does not require and I sent it. After not hearing back from them I tried contacting customer service after 5 days of calling and emailing I was finally able to speak with cs. I explained the problem and said they could not ship my order even though it violated no laws or their posted policy. "
"2nd red dot i have ordered and never got it. item was in stock they said, ordered on 14 days ago, they still had no idea what my order number was or how to find it, they also called shipping 4 times on 4 separate occasions they are no where to be found and the manger told me she would call me back with an update and nothing. This place is a train wreck, and when calling customer service they have operators dropping f bombs and swearing in the background. Its to bad cause they prices are good but everything else is just a train wreck. "
Buy at your own risk
"I've twice ordered online from these guys. Both times they sent me the wrong item. They have not responded to my request to fix the second order and nobody will answer the phone when I try to call them. Buy at your own risk."
Always Best.
"I don't know why so many one star here.
I am always happy with their service.
They are always great.
Quality product with timely delivery.
Definitely I will continuously buy from them and will recommend them to all my friends.
They are running great deals
"No matter what I have read about these guys. They still have the absolute best deals in the business.
Will be buying from them again!"
"they never shipped my item, when I asked for help they preferred to cancel my order instead of help me "
Looks like this is a habit of theirs
"3 mos of product on "back order". No communications, poor customer service, where's my $500?"
"I should have read reviews, prior to ordering. My experience mirrored all of the bad ones and added some new ones. I ordered the item, said it was in stock, never shipped. I called, told the item was out of stock and inventory was incorrect due to a computer glitch. No emails no contact, nothing. I got an email saying the product is in stock. My order still doesn't ship. I call again. Told me they didn't have my credit card information anymore. Provided it. Order never shipped. I call again, told the item came in but was faulty and had to be sent back. This was 9 weeks after I placed the order. I told them to cancel it. I will never order from them. And will tell others to stay away. I ordered it on eBay for slightly more money. I should have done that 9 weeks ago. I would have had the item already. Spent hours on hold getting smoke blown up my behind. Total sham of a company. The worst tactical company ever."
Bum Steer
"If I could have given negative stars I would have. This company ****. I ordered from them and waited 2 weeks for delivery. No dice. I called them and they told me the item was out of stock. No heads up, no nothing. They just kept me hanging. Wish I would have read all the negative reviews first. Did I say this company ****? Yes, Yes I did!"
Repeat Customer. No Problems. Great Products
"I've been a repeat customer with Botach for years now. No problems or issues that haven't been resolved by their customer service team. Great prices and great products. Thanks Botach!"
They bill your Credit Card, Never ship the item, and fail to give you back your money
"Just don't do it! Below is their email to me about my order that I never received and am still awaiting credit on (their writings)....
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced in placing your order with our company; any delay in processing your order; and for the fact that you have not been contacted by one of representatives. The Meprolight item on your order is drop shipped directly from our supplier and thus our company charges transactions to process this shipment. I have reached out to our purchasing department for an ETA on your order and will forward you that information once available. Please feel free to contact me with any questions; and thank you for your business.
Your request for the cancellation of order has been processed successfully. Your order has been forwarded to our refunds department for processing. Please allow 24 - 72 business hours for your account to be credited. Have a wonderful day."
"They cancelled an order after i'd already paid. After spending 20 minutes on hold trying to get ahold of a customer service representative, they offered to allow me the pleasure of reordering at twice the cost, AND having to pay for two-day air shipping (at a cost of over $100).
No recourse was offered, and the agent was totally unhelpful. I've had hit-or-miss experiences with Botach in the past, but this was the final straw. These guys suck, don't waste your time.
"Good products at much better then market pricing. I've purchased several items from Botach and I've always been happy with what I've paid. The shipping is slower then I'd like but the value I receive (low prices) is worth it to me. If I needed some in a couple days I would buy locally or someplace else. I can say I've never had major issues that would prevent me from using them"
"Botach took my money for a firearm they said they had in stock. Got my money refunded almost a month later (they said they refunded me within 1 week after purchase but funds took weeks to clear my CC account), after they told me it was a listing error and they manufacturer had their order on "backorder". I subscribed to the item on their website to notify me when they were back in stock. On 3 separate occasions, I was sent an automated email informing me the pistol was back in stock. Each time I got the email, I called to confirm and of course, the representative told me it was a "listing error". TERRIBLE customer service. All around, a terrible experience. Have successfully purchased items from the prior to this incident but this alone has solidified any amount of confidence I could have in this company's integrity. Caveat Emptor!
Below is copied information from a Botach representative from a (frustrated response from me asking why I keep getting notified the item is back in stock).
"The item that you are interested in purchasing is not in stock at this time. The lead time for this item is behind on schedule as previously advised from one of our representatives. Your order was refunded and cancelled on 06/19/15 due to the delay in shipment. The item showing on the website is glitched in the system, and our technicians will be advised with regards to your concerns. This particular item that you are interested in purchasing takes a lengthy time to produce from the manufacturer, which is another reason for the long wait period. If you have further questions with regards to this item or any other item on our site, please advise.
Thank you for you loyalty and business with Botach Inc.

"ordered item on 6/1. 3 weeks later i contacted customer service and was told that the item was on backorder and they were expecting a truck the following monday. they couldn't tell me how many items they were receiving, how many orders hadn't shipped or where i was in that line. i immediately requested a cancellation. 2 weeks later i still didn't have a refund. i contacted cs again and in 4 more business days i finally got a refund. these guys suck. don't get them any of your money. i'm not going to put my order # because i don't want them to contact me asking how they can fix it, or giving me a certificate to make it right, which would mean i'd have to go through the process again. not a chance. terrible order handling, tracking, backorder status notification, order fulfillment expectation date and refund. absolutely awful experience. they charged my card for the item (not an authorization) and had the funds locked up for 3 weeks. low prices to attract buyers, then they lock up your funds and have terrible communication. awful business."
