The fake job scam has acquired a new dimension. Scamsters try to con you into shelling out at least Rs525 to accept a VPP parcel that ostensibly contains a call letter for a job. In a faltering economy with massive layoffs, this seems like the latest trick to cheat people. We investigate one such scam
SSS Industrial Job Services, the Andhra Pradesh based placement and recruitment agency is luring job seekers with its fake call letter scam using the Indian Post. This is similar to the value payable postal (VPP) service or cash on delivery (CoD) fraud used by scamsters during the 1990s to dupe thousands of people under the pretext of receiving radio-transistor or mixer-grinder. The parcels usually contained stones or bricks and sometimes just waste papers!
SSS Industrial Job Services is sending the VPPs to job seekers. It may be using the database from any job site for sending call letters. One such VPP landed at my door, where the postman asked my mother to pay Rs525 (Rs500 for the parcel and Rs25 for postal fee). Since I was not at home, my mother refused to accept the parcel and pay any money. Then the postman left a delivery note with my mother asking me to collect the VPP from the post office by paying Rs525.
Since I had no knowledge of SSS Industrial Job Services or any such placement agency, I checked the background of the agency on Internet. There are several complaints about the agency and its VPP parcels that contain fake call letters printed in Telugu. On ConsumerCourt.in, several people have complained about receiving VPP from SSS Industrial Job Services that contain fake call letter.
Mamtha, one such victim, says. "I got fake call letter on 30/4/2012 through post and they charged me 500 rupees. On inquiry I came to know that it is a fake call letter, even I searched in consumer forum they are many victims who got same fake letters."
Another victim says, "I am M.Kumari Muthu Kiruba. On a Saturday, last year, (date 16-6-2012), my family and I went to my native place. So my neighbour received the call letter on my name from your company. But to receive the call letter they charge Rs525."
Another complainant who received such VPP says, "Sir, I am Suhas Gaikwad I also received same call letter from SSS Industries with same address and was charged Rs525. But I can't accept this letter till it is in at the post Office. I first want to inquire about the company. Then, I saw the post about the fake CALL LETTERS from SSS Industries. So please guide me whether or not I should receive that letter."
However, one Uday Kumar from Bangalore posted a different view about the SSS Industries parcel in ComplaintBoard.in. He says, "Guys it is not fake call letter, I got their number and spoke to them. SSS is the consultancy, which is providing job services in Andhra Pradesh. Rs525 is the postal charges and we have to go for interview to their office. If we are OK with the job which they offer, we have to pay Rs3,000. Otherwise, there will be no extra charges. Please stop these negative comments."
Even accepting it as a genuine call letter, as per Uday Kumar, why should an agency from Andhra Pradesh send call letters to somebody in Mumbai - that too in Telugu, without the person even applying for the job, in the first place?
In short, this is nothing but a fraud and in case you receive such VPP from SSS Industrial Job Services, do not accept the parcel by paying any money. In case you are already duped, then please reach your post office immediately and file a complaint against the agency.
This is what the Indian Post says about fraud through VPPs
"If a complaint is made by the addressee immediately after the receipt of a value payable postal (VPP) article, that it was sent dishonestly or fraudulently, the Head of the Circle may, if he is satisfied that there are prima facie grounds for believing that the value payable postal article was sent with the intention of defrauding the addressee, withhold the payment to the sender of the money recovered from the addressee. If after making such enquiries as may be necessary, he is fully satisfied that the value payable postal article was sent with this intention, he may order the return of the article to the sender and refund to the addressee the sum of money recovered from him on delivery of the value-payable postal article."
RBI must lay out exhaustive directions mandating detailed procedures and the process of the conduct and content stock audit of borrowers preferably with a detailed checklist to ensure no step is overlooked. This only would help reduce the bad loans of NPAs
Ranjit Singh, the chief of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) laments "bank frauds above Rs50 crore have grown almost 10 times in the last two years. Bulk of the non-performing assets (NPAs) related to just 30 defaulter accounts. The CBI has initiated inquiries
– banks need to realise that delays in reporting frauds affect recovery proceedings."
This indicates the laxity at all levels in addressing this serious concern. In India the bad loans are designated NPAs while in the West they are termed stressed assets that have led to the inglorious end of great banking institutions across the world.
There are two reports in the Hindu Business Line: "Strengthen inspection of units financed, FinMin tells banks" and (Secretary Financial Services MoF) "Takru's tough talk: Banks must seek management change before recasting corporate loans". The belated reaction of our union ministry of finance (MoF) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), our banking regulator, being a mute spectator now waking up, appear to be acts of locking the stable after the horse has bolted. It is hoped that Raghuram Rajan, the new governor of RBI, will usher in urgent modifications in the archaic procedures and processes.
In India, when there is a banking regulator in the form of RBI for over half a century, why the MoF and not the RBI is reacting to sharp deteriorations in the quality of loan asset portfolio of banking sector as a whole. This is indeed an extremely alarming worry for all, which if not addressed on a priority basis, will lead India to the Cyprus or Greece type bank collapses.
Today Indian banking sector is on an expansion spree with 26 applicants waiting in a queue for new banking licences to add to the present 1,700 commercial banks of various descriptions comprising 27 state owned, 21 private and 3 dozen foreign plus smaller regional rural and urban co-operative banks.
There is an urgent need to totally overhaul the banking sector by upgrading the systems of on-site audit of compliances with laid out checks and balances. It is rather disturbing to see both the MoF and the RBI now belatedly waking up to the reality of increasing wilful defaulters on their advances portfolios. The ratio of the gross NPAs to gross advances has risen to 3.8% in 2013 from 3.2% in 2012. The ratio of restructured standard assets versus gross advances of public sector banks (PSBs) shot up to 7.1% from 5.7% and for the banking sector as a whole, the gross NPAs to gross advances ratio rose to 3.4% from 2.9%. The ratio of restructured standard assets and gross advances increased to 5.7% from 4.7%. Further, according to the RBI's latest Finance Stability Report, the macro stress test of sectoral credit risk among seven select sectors that include construction, agriculture, iron and steel and engineering is expected to register higher NPA ratio of 4.7% to 4.8% by 2014.
It is noticed that there is absolute laxity on the part of the RBI, as the banking regulator on the one hand and the top managements of the banks across the board on the other. Especially, when it comes to having in place effective steps to pre-empt and prevent slippages in the asset quality well in time long before the advances begin slippage and are even considered 'distressed' and turn out to be 'bad' or 'NPA'.
As a statutory auditor of banks on the RBI panel for long, it is my experience that advances just do not turn bad overnight. They always tend to incubate over a period of time during which time they invariably subtly indicate, show prompt visible signs of impending or incipient delinquency which the officials at the branch level conveniently choose to give a go-bye by claiming 'pressure of work'.
It is the officials at branch levels who ought to effectively monitor the delinquent advances on a day-to-day basis. More particularly when the borrowers approach branch management to accommodate them by granting temporary overdraft facility by clearing cheques that they have issued without adequate balance or in excess of their borrowing limits. These acts undoubtedly represent clear-cut cases of the borrowers' bad financial management leading to an impending doom.
When the customers' default in the timely submission of their monthly stock and receivables statement, it is sure sign that they do it simply because they have neither the inventories nor debtors that provide them with drawing limits to justify the collaterals for the following month. In the absence of fixation of fresh drawing limits based on security available as represented by statements, they wrongly continue to enjoy limits far in excess of the securities that are on offer. The officials permitting such irregularities should then be deemed to be in connivance with the borrower to defraud the bank and their filing of routine post facto condonation requests to their controlling office should not be permitted to regularize this gross irregularity.
What is not strictly adhered to is the strict compliance by banks of the requirements of periodic on-site inspections by carrying out physical verification of the inventories and receivables to confirm their existence and ascertain their realisability in case they are to be realised when the borrower is in default.
This on-site inspection has necessarily to be carried out by independent professionals or experts. The third party professionals have the expertise and work force to visit the client any number of times, which is not always possible for the bank officials or employees, who can be fobbed off by the delinquent borrowers with much to hide or in possible connivance. Under no circumstances should it be left to any bank employee particularly those dealing with the advances and their monitoring.
A stock audit has also to include inspection of records to ascertain the mode of valuations of the inventories, their stacking conditions and movements to detect overvaluations and shortages in stocks. For verifications of debtors, a plain and simple scrutiny of transactions in the accounts will go a long way in ascertaining realisability. Similarly, recording of fictitious invoices for purchases and sales or siphoning away of funds for unrelated activities by wrong diversions can also come to light well in time.
The scope of the special stock audit exercise should also include in-depth procedure for improper or inadequate under pressure credit appraisals and sanctions as well as deficient post-disbursal monitoring, fake title deeds, multiple finance for the same security, inflated valuation reports, genuine business problems, diversion of working capital for unplanned capital and personal expenditure.
In cases of high-ticket large consortium advances, it is a practice for the lead banks to initially carry out the inspection to be followed up by the smaller lending partners carrying the audit independently in the subsequent period. It is noticed that those with a smaller share tend to act complacent by following the earlier report and not observe the standard verification procedures that the earlier verification may have overlooked. It has to be ensured that each verification has to be a standalone exercise and not 'follow the leader' type.
Indian businessmen also have in their midst quite a few wilful defaulters, who are invariably past-masters in swindling banks. The banks need to effectively monitor such high-risk individuals or entities with hawk eyes. The advances imposed from the top need to be put on the extremely highest risk category. It should be ensured that all communications relating to sanction and disbursement and the original title deeds as well as all other relevant documents are safely sealed and inspected annually. Much more care is called for before considering any proposal for restructuring of debts.
MoF Secretary Rajiv Takru very rightly pointed out that banks must insist on management change before considering restructure of loans by companies. "Half the time they are in a mess because of poor decisions of management. They now have no moral right to continue. More and more cases are seen of people taking advantage of distress by going back on their obligations by trying to negotiate deals for moratorium, reduction in interest rates and waivers. The banking system has been 'too tolerant' of such misbehaviour and this is not required. Companies cannot sit back and expect the banks to continue to take the hits."
Talking tough must necessarily be followed up with the RBI laying out exhaustive directions mandating detailed procedures and the process of the conduct and content stock audit preferably with a detailed check list to ensure no step is overlooked. It is the actual on-site verification and not merely going by copying data files for non-existent securities that can uncover malpractices and will go a long way in preventing slippages.

Twelve years after the 9/11 attacks, the FBI tries to remind soldiers at Guantanamo who they are guarding
Young soldiers at Guantanamo Bay would have been in grade school when the 9/11 attacks occurred. But the government is making sure the terrorist attacks are fresh in their minds.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) now holds briefings for military personnel stationed at Guantanamo about the attacks and their connection to the island prison. Five detainees are currently being tried for their role in plotting 9/11. There are 161 other prisoners there too, about half of whom have been cleared for transfer.
The presentation includes details about the hijackings, videos of the World Trade Center, and recordings of 9-1-1 calls from the towers.
We received eight pages of the FBI's 17-slide PowerPoint presentation after filing a Freedom of Information Act request. We filed the request after a Huffington Post report cited the briefings, saying they "left many participants in tears."
FBI Gitmo Presentation
The presentation is marked "law enforcement sensitive," and the FBI said they withheld nine slides to protect law enforcement tactics.
The audio and video clips used in the lessons were originally exhibits from the prosecution of Zacarias Moussaoui, currently serving a life sentence in federal prison in Colorado for his role in the attacks. (The clips are stored at a court website, which advises listener discretion.)
Spokespeople for the FBI and the military at Guantanamo did not respond to requests for more details about the briefings, so it's not clear how often they are given, or when they started. The released slides also don't show anything about current detainees, so we don't know how the FBI relates them to 9/11.

MSPs were told that up to 600 bottles of mineral water are consumed every week during Holyrood business.
Concerns over the environmental impact have led to a new service being considered which would see filtered tap water bottled at the building.
Green MSP Robin Harper suggested that politicians and staff would be better served from jugs of tap water.
Alex Johnstone, speaking for Holyrood's corporate body, described bottled water usage as a "relatively small total", and pointed out that used bottles were recycled.
But the Tory MSP recognised the environmental concerns, saying: "We are investigating the possibility of bottling filtered tap water on site."
He added: "Hopefully this will come to fruition in the not too distant future."
Mr Harper said: "It is incredibly unenvironmental to serve what is essentially plain water in bottles, whether they're recycled or not."
"This is a totally unnecessary impact on the environment when you can take water out of the tap.
"I do not see why is it not possible for jugs of tap water and glasses can be provided, at least in committee rooms."
In an attempt to broaden the debate, independent MSP Margo MacDonald said that on the subject of "excessive water" around parliament, it was time to get rid of the three small ponds outside the building.
Mr Johnstone said he was unprepared to answer pond-related questions, but added: "I can give the chamber a guarantee that we will not consider using that water to fill the previously mentioned bottles."

Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton
Personality Profile
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton - a male celebrity - born on Wednesday September 28th 1735, in Unknown.
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. He has great talent for management in all walks of life, especially in business and financial matters, where he contributes the greater vision, purpose, and long-range goals. He understands the material world, and intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Duke best. He is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership, and politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where his abilities can shine.
He possesses the ability to inspire people to join him in his quest, even when they are incapable of seeing what he sees. Therefore, those around Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton need his continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Grafton is a good judge of character, which serves him well in attracting the right people that he can prod them then into action and direct them along the lines of his vision.
Duke's challenge in life is to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind, and only for his personal gain. Otherwise, Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is bound to suffer the consequences of greed and run the risk of losing it all. He must also learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. As with many greate visionaries, Grafton can be reckless for lack of attention to details. Thus, it is not unlikely for such personality to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies and financial failure. Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton, however, has the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.
Grafton is likely to mold a large family around him, and he is inclined sometimes to keep them dependent longer than necessary. However, Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is not demonstrative in showing his love and affection. Also, Duke must be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may have been born early in his life, after suffering himself under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas. More...
More flavors to Duke's personality
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is a person of thinking and planning.
Having well-developed business mindset, he is good at making effective plans, setting goals and working out the best way to achieve them.
He may also have excellent organisational and administrative skills, but that depends on how often he skips the details in order not to lose sight of the bigger picture.
It is natural for Duke to think before he acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
He also knows how to work effectively and efficiently with others in business, while maintaining self control and discipline, and teaching them to appreciate knowledge as the key ingredient to success.
If Duke is over-organized, he should practice finding his way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray himself.
But if he ignores the details in favor of the bigger picture, others might view Grafton as undisciplined with details, and not appreciate his great planning skills.
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is full of energy, always on the go, fidgety, and quite hyperactive. Life is in a constant motion for him and he devours it powerfully.
He has great ability to put thoughts into action, and there is no wait once he sets his mind on something. Where others tend to think or dream, Duke already takes action while radiating energy, enthusiasm, and livelihood around.
His physical stamina is strong, and he loves mental and physical exercise. Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton keep himself physically or mentally busy at all times, and he feels better spending time outdoors and eating natural foods.
Limited space is a major challenge for Duke, while exercise, proper diet, and rest are critical for his health. A good walk in the fresh air serves as an intellectual vehicle for him.
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Duke cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Patient as he is towards his goals, Duke's flying, ravaging temper endangers his relationships with the very same people that will help him to accomplish those goals. He should use his strength of will to study and practice anger management.
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton makes a good performer, but at the same time he can be quite intense and serious.
His artistic talent is emphasized in the performing arts where sensitivity and understanding for people and situations is called for.
Duke can easily gain high respect in the community, being understanding of the views of others, and he often tends to achieve his goals.
When balanced, he is compassionate and emotionally secure. Grafton is also a natural healer, with leadership qualities and the ability to genuinely empathize. He also radiates love and spiritual happiness to those around him.
When unbalanced, drama queen is not an unfamiliar term to Duke, and he often likes to give advice to others even when his own life is a mess.
By becoming aware of his emotions, he can gain control over them rather than have his emotions control his life. And the reward is great because then he shows vast depth of understanding while keeping his emotions checked.
Duke Augustus FitzRoy of Grafton possesses an inner calm and accepts the highs and lows of his life with compassionate and spiritual awareness. This inner serenity and strong faith sustain and comfort him, and are growing stronger through life.
Wishing to promote kindness, peace and love, Duke actually succeeds in bringing peace, unconditional love and gentleness to others.
He is likely to be philosophical about life in a strong and unwavering faith, and he is also likely to practice music, professionally or privately.
Grafton is probably interested in mysticism, spirituality, the occult or the psychic arts, and is gifted with unquestionable psychic ability.

It is seldom remembered that Queen Alexandra presented Scott with a second Union Flag in 1910, before he left London to join the Terra Nova in South Africa.
The first, according to the London Daily Telegraph on 21 April, had been presented in March "to be placed on the farthest point south reached by the expedition, if possible on the Pole itself."
The second, recorded by Scott's biographer Reginald Pound as "a Union Jack to be hoisted at the South Pole", had been presented on 1 June, after the Terra Nova had sailed from London for Cardiff, landing Scott at Greenwich, from where he went straight to the Palace. 1
One of the Queen Mother's flags, the Union Flag in Bowers' photos taken at the Pole, was left there. According to Scott "We built a cairn, put up our poor slighted Union Jack, and photographed ourselves .... [and then] carried the Union Jack about _ of a mile north with us and left it on a piece of stick as near the Point as we could fix it."2 Wilson wrote of flying "the Queen Mother's Union Jack" and going on to "the actual final spot [where] we left the Union Jack flying."3
The most striking feature of that flag is the wide binding at the hoist edge nearest the flagpole, and just such a flag can be seen in Ponting's photo of the 1911 Midwinter Day dinner. It appears behind Tryggve Gran, wrapped around what must have been a sack suspended from the hut's roof timbers.4
Could the second of Queen Alexandra's flags be the one on the table in Ponting's photo of Scott's Last Birthday Dinner? Hardly so. Apart from such unlikely treatment of a prestigious royal gift, the design of the flag hanging in the ballroom at Sandringham House, which must be the Queen Mother's second flag carried to the Pole, in no way resembles that of the birthday dinner flag.
The design of the flag at Sandringham closely resembles that of the one behind Gran in the Midwinter Day photo, although the hoist binding cannot be seen because the flag, along with those carried south by Shackleton, is kept well away from the light, high up in the alcove at the leftăhand end of the main windows.5 Presented scarcely more than two months after the first, there is little reason to suppose it would have been different in design.
The obviously larger Birthday Dinner table flag has strikingly different design proportions, the most pronounced of which is the unusually wide white border to its St. George's Cross. In Ponting's photo, a bottle of sherry stands on the flag beside the box of chocolates. Some sherry bottles 6 changed little to this day, so the one on the table serves to establish the width of that border as approximately 80mm (3.15 inches), and that of the cross itself as some 145mm (5.7 inches); so the border is more than half the width of the cross.
Could that flag be the large (l2ft x6 ft) silk Union Flag sold as lot 202 at Christie's 17 September 1999 Exploration and Travel Sale, as was surmised in their catalogue? Again, no, because the border of the St. George's Cross on that flag is markedly less than a third of the width of the cross.
The flag sold at Christie's is undoubtedly the one seen hanging behind Scott, and draped over a pile of cases, in the Midwinter Day Dinner photo, which has the same design proportions and size, as well as the same narrow binding at the hoist.
Clearly, al~o, it is identical to the silk Union Jack flown at Hut Point on 8 November 1902, which was photographed by Reginald Ford that day. His photo in the original expedition albums at the Royal Geographical Society7 shows a flag with the same design proportions, although the binding is not visible, because the flag had been wrapped around the flagstaff by the stiff breeze.
Sir George Nares KCB, acting on behalf of the officers of the 1875-6 National Arctic Expedition, had sent that flag to Scott on 29 July 1901, the day the Discovery had sailed from London for Cowes.8
The conclusion must be that the flag on the Birthday Dinner table, Scott's fourth Union Flag, was the expedition flag. In all the contemporary diaries and published accounts of the expedition, there is only one reference to it being flown. Griffith Taylor. describing the installation of the hut and its surroundings, wrote of it being hoisted "on the highest portion of Cape Evans . . . Nearby is the meteorological screen."9
The 1977 survey plan prepared for the Department of Lands and Survey, reproduced in David Harrowfield's Sledging into History, 10 contains no indication of a flagstaff on Wind Vane Hill, and the orientation and scaling of Taylor's sketch.map makes it an unreliable source for positioning the flagstaff.
The DLS plan shows only a "flag pole" positioned behind the North Beach, some 55 yards north east of the hut at Cape Evans. That can be seen in Ponting's well-known photo, entitled "Winter Quarters at Cape Evans. 12
Three questions remain. Where is that flag today? Was it ever photographed flying at Cape Evans? Was the flagstaff moved from Wind Vane Hill to North Beach?

Fictional Biography
Settlers arrived in the area of Big Thunder Mountain. Searching the land for precious minerals and other riches, their search would soon prove successful. A rich vein of gold was discovered in the red rocks of Big Thunder Mountain and as soon as word got out, more and more settlers streamed into the area, transforming the serene wilderness into a lively and steadily-growing gold-rush town. The founder, Henry Ravenswood, named the town Thunder Mesa.
For his own family, the increasingly-wealthy Mr. Ravenswood began construction on a grand mansion on a hill overlooking the sprawling town. Apart from the four-story manor-house painted in white with a red gable roof, the estate encompassed vast gardens decorated with marble statues as well as the family cemetery on the banks of the river.
Its owner's dearest pride and joy, however, was his beautiful young daughter Melanie. She grew up protected, free to pass her time in the expansive manor gardens under Henry's watchful eye.

We stayed at this gem of a hotel for five nights. Great location on a quieter, pretty canal street. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The hotel amenities are wonderful, and the breakfast is not to be missed. The lobby is divided into various sitting rooms, providing variety and quieter areas for reading. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Rooms are a bit small, as is typical of European hotels, but have great storage spaces. Bathrooms are modern, nicely decorated, well lit, with thoughtful amenities. The gym downstairs was great to have on site. The needs of the guest come first in this lovely hotel. We would definitely stay here again!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

I have about (50) Polycom IP 330 VoIP phones. Most of them are detected in Spiceworks, and only about half of them are correctly identified using the SNMP account for the IP range (I have reservations in DHCP for the phones).
Is there a setting for turning on SNMP?
I cannot figure out what the difference is between the properly identified phones and the others.

There are no configurable SNMP settings on the 330. If you manually edit the device record in spiceworks as a VOIP device, the scan will function correctly. I had this same issue and was able to resolve the issue by doing this.

as my little miracle isnt here yet... but
i know we will be including Jesus in Christmas but im wondering if i should do Santa to. Ive considered mentioning him and telling the kids some people believe in Santa and its fun to think about and pretend but to know it isnt real. does that seem complicated?
thats true.. i guess i got a little time to think about it tho. i just dont know to not do santa at all or do it partially. i love watching old favorites w/ santa in it n listening to the music but i want my kids not to feel lied to and know that Jesus is Christmas
Comment deleted
when i became old enough to know santa wasnt real.. i came up w/ the idea to make Jesus a stocking. always wanted to fill it w/ thoughts and prayers
yea ive thought of that to. i just dunno if i want them BELIEVING he is real
yea maybe. idk what to do

A city, like a zoo, can lose some excitement after you have lived there a few years and lost one too many teacups to neighbouring rhinoceroses' bad etiquette. Rediscover your environs with today's Groupon: for $11, you get a city scavenger hunt from Urban Quest (a $22.59 value, including HST).
Urban Quest showcases some of Canada's largest cities in an unconventional, informative light, crafting memorable adventures that culminate with a delicious meal. Metropolitan buccaneers sign up for an Urban Quest account and then decide which inner-city adventure they wish to undertake, be it the pursuit of city history, natural wonders, or a mermaid with doubloons for scales. A clue packet accompanies each questranked easy, medium, or hardand directs curious citizens to scour the city for leads, which eventually guide them to a mystery restaurant or coffee shop. This voyage gives participants a new understanding of the city they live in and stuffs their noggins with facts and information about key buildings and landmarks. At the same time, Urban Quest offers ramblers a fresh dining experience, frustrating supercomputers whose circuit boards only allow for the taste of oatmeal. Participants can also opt out of the restaurant visit and simply race the clock, as restaurant tabs are not included with this Groupon.
As quests typically last 90 minutes and span 34 kilometres of walking, they are best suited for groups of two to four adventurers, though buyers may make their teams as big as they'd like. Learn more by checking out a demo quest and Urban Quest's FAQ page.

0% Interest Credit – How it Works.
There is a strategy to obtaining large balance credit cards with any given company. We can help you meet the criteria for credit cards of $50,000 to $250,000 with 0% interest.
To entice business banking customers, there are a variety of banks and equity institutions that provide 0% business credit cards for a period of 6, 9, 12 and even 18 months.
The rules are complex. It's not like obtaining a home loan. In addition to having a high credit score, the lenders look for a specific borrowing profile of someone who would have the need and use of such a large amount of available credit. So even if you have a perfect score, you may get stuck with just $5,000 to $15,000 in credit.
When you apply online or over the phone for a $5,000 to $20,000 credit card it is one thing. But when you are getting 4-5 credit cards at $50,000 to $80,000 at a time, it is a whole new world.
We will help you educate yourself so that you can literally have a no-cost way to make money once you know the skills. We will also show you how to get instant approval. That's right, instant approval, where a human being right here in the US says you're approved. No waiting 7-10 days for an answer in the mail. If you like, you can get approved today and use the credit card today!
In our 12-Month CCB Funding Membership program, we offer this information, and handholding to help you every step of the way, for a flat fee. We have mortgage clients who have paid many times this fee for documentation, processing, appraisal, title, escrow fees and points. In this program, we do not charge for any amounts you receive on your credit cards. We are a big believer in credit cards and we believe this information is worth many times what you pay. Fund&Grow provides a 60-day guarantee. If you are not happy for any reason within the first 60 days, you can receive a full refund.
Alternatively, we have a similar, fast track program, the CCB Accelerated Funding Membership, where there is no up-front fee, and we do charge for amounts received.
n both programs, we don't just tell you what to do, we do most of the work and hold your hand through the process every step of the way, starting by running credit analyzer and a "what if" scenario to maximize your credit scores. We know the way the credit card companies work, we know the special promotions and we know how to maximize results.
We can help you meet the criteria for credit cards of $50,000 to $250,000 with 0% interest. The typical introductory loan period is 12-18 months. In the old days, the rates went to double digits; today the rates are 7.99% and even less. That's cheaper than many home loans. There are typically very small, if any, balance transfer fees. Even if you don't have any balances to transfer, we can show you how to turn the credit lines into cash.
If your FICO (credit score) is 680 or above, you are a great candidate. If your FICO is below 680, you will most likely need credit counseling to assist you with items that are hurting your score. We can advise you appropriately.
I get it! I want to get started and get the credit I deserve!
What Happens When You Become a Client
- First we will guide you in understanding your current credit situation.
- You will go over the steps needed with your Fund&Grow consultant, first to naturally raise the credit score and balance the credit report so that when you go to apply for a credit card you will have the best chance to get the most amount approved with the highest limit.
- You will get a private one-on-one consultation with a Fund&Grow consultant to determine your individual optimal strategy. Are you looking for low interest money, the quickest, or the most money long term? Are you looking for cards that won't show up on your credit report? You tell us; we will tell you the plan. You will then work with your consultant to take the steps necessary to maximize your credit profile. Then, with your authorization, we will help apply for you.
- Our monthly newsletters, available only to clients, are packed with the latest news and offers in the credit card industry, along with information on current local and global investment opportunities. We will send you one free issue of our newsletter. After the first month, we will bill your credit card $50 per month. You may cancel at any time.
In addition to credit cards, we will teach you how to obtain credit lines for your LLC, LLP or corporation

Perhaps only Bill Johnson was not shocked on this day in 1984 when he won the men's downhill at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. He was the first USA male to win an alpine event.
His quote prior to the race: "I don't even know why everyone else is here. Everyone else is here to fight for second place."
As this recent story by John Canzano of the Oregonian illustrates, the story of Johnson would not have a Hollywood ending. He would not make the 1988 team and his wife would divorce him. A training crash in 2002 would leave him with memory problems and his body would betray him.
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.
Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

Richard Bouckaert has entered the Allstate Sugar Bowl Crescent City Fall Classic at least three times, but Saturday's 5-kilometer race in New Orleans Ciy Park was a special one for him.
The 29-year-old Lakeview resident won the event with a 3.2-mile time of 15:37.6. It was important to him. Not only is the Fall Classic the only 5K qualifier to the spring's all-important Crescent City Classic, it's a race that imparts a message of health and fitness to the greater New Orleans community — especially its children.
The Fall Classic each year gives away $12,000 in monetary awards to local schools, nonprofits organizations and running clubs with the intention of them using the cash to increase awareness of the importance of exercise in everyday life.
Bouckaert was very much in tune with that.
"It's nice to get the qualifying time out of the way for the Classic," he said. "That's usually why I'm in it. But this one is really important to a lot of people. There are a lot of kids out here. I know they have the extra grant program. It brings kids out, with their parents, and educates them about this sport. Cross country and track; those are seen as niche sports. Anything that gets them out, I'm for it."
Bouckaert was one of nearly 3,000 participants who entered the Fall Classic, a number that was buoyed by a generous number of children running the race. They were met by overcast skies and temperatures that hovered in the mid 50s at the 8:30 a.m. start.
Event director Laine Thomas said the Crescent City Classic Foundation met its goal Saturday.
"This is a short distance, so we reach out to the local schools and clubs," she said. "They train all year for this, some of them. It's encouraging to see everyone out in the name of fitness."
Philip Monteleone was running with his cross country team from St. Dominic's. There were several dozen kids who ran really fantastic times in the Fall Classic, but perhaps the most exciting thing to Monteleone was that so many of their families turned out to run with them.
In all, St. Dominic's had nearly 90 people in the race.
"As a cross country team, we work all year to promote health and fitness," the coach said. "That's what the (CCC) Foundation promotes too — to enjoy health, to enjoy fitness."
Two of Monteleone's young charges surged through the finish line at about the 24-minute mark — a fine time for 9-year-olds. Timmy Peterman and Hudson Dehon, both fourth-graders, recently began running long-distance events. They said they enjoy competing, but they're out for another reason.
"We like to have fun," Dihon said.
Immacutlate Conception School had the most participants for a local organization, boasting a registration total of 421 people (a "record," Thomas said.) St. Andrew's had 193 people affiliated with the school enter, and Montelone Junior High had 150. The top nonprofits in the race were Youth Run NOLA with 202 people; Greater New Orleans Housing Action Center with 40; and WWOZ Radio with 37.
Katherine Telfeyan of New Orleans led the overall women's field with a time of 19:26 on the 3-mile course.

Singapore STD testing is now available to diagnose STD's (sexually transmitted diseases) at your own decision with an affordable price. This is a more conventional way for STD testing because it saves time and also avoids stigma for the patient that goes for the diagnosis of STD since the owners have managed it such that their services are faster. Patients are usually reluctant to go to their local clinic for tests because they fear being judged by other people. STD testing is the solution for the problems of patients who want to be tested for STD and is reliable, cost efficient and confidential.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) that can be tested for vary and include:HIV/AIDS,Gonorrhea, Syphillis and Candidiasis
The advantage of Singapore STD test is that the patient can choose whether to test the presence of most, if not all, of the STDs or can choose what STD to check, depending on the possible exposure of the individual. Symptoms of STDs are usually vague and often resemble each other, which makes the FULL STD screening advantageous.
Singapore STD testing clinics offer home STD test kits that can be applied online. The home STD test kits are usually mailed to recipients where they collect urine samples and resend it back to STD clinics for testing. In this way, patients don't have to be present for testing. Results are also reliable and quick and are sent to the recipient again. Results may also be checked online.
Home STD test kits offered by Singaporeclinics compose of a specimen bottle for urine. These are mailed through posts from the online store or clinic. After which, the container is mailed back using prepaid postage. Results are available after 3 days or more depending on the STD to be checked.
By using the Singapore STD kits, the privacy of the individual is protected.Singapore STD clinics also allow the use of false or anonymous names to protect the client . In addition,Singapore STD clinics also do not share the information to third parties, thereby ensuring confidentiality and maintaining privacy of the client.

After one of its legal advisors reportedly quit, Speak Asia's PR agency LinOpinion, has also decided to stay away from the controversial MLM company
Speak Asia, the controversial online survey company, is facing rough weather these days. Following reports about senior advocate Ashok Saraogi quitting as one of its legal advisors, here comes other news. LinOpinion Public Relations, a division of Lowe Lintas group is no longer handling the Speak Asia account.
Lowe Lintas, one of India's top communication groups is a unit of Interpublic Group (IPG), and is part of the Lowe Worldwide network. The PR agency had won the full service business for Speak Asia online just three months ago.
Last month, several banks froze accounts of Speak Asia's distributors...sorry, technically, they all are distributors of Haren Ventures Pte Ltd, while Singapore-based United Overseas Bank closed accounts of Speak Asia online Pte Ltd. Following this, the MLM company has stopped paying its agents and accepting cash transfer requests as well, according to some panellists who do not want to reveal their names. They said the company continued sending some surveys and deposited reward points in the agent's e-wallet on its website. But the reward points cannot be encashed, unless the company accounts are unfrozen. Nevertheless, by its own admission, Speak Asia's chief executive Harender Kaur said in an e-mail to agents that the process to open an account in another bank in Singapore would take six to eight weeks and it could not pay money to anyone till that time.
The multi-level marketing (MLM) company that used to claim and advertise as "Asia's largest Online Survey Company" has changed its mind and tagline, and now describes itself on its website as "Asia's Largest Community of Sovereign Consumers".
Speak Asia also appears to be communicating with its panellists through the Moneylife website in the guise of a member. An email posted as a comment says,
"Few figures for you which shows how SPEAK ASIA is taking care of us:
Present Balance in UOB a/c of SA: 482 million dollars
(Sufficient funds to pay survey income to all the existing panelist for the next two years)
Now company has to withdraw funds from UOB as per the decision of UOB bank (Not abide by RBI, Govt. of India or Singapore its UOB's own decision as they are confused b'coz of media).
So company is taking following decision:
Escrow a/c*: 200 million dollars
a/c with new bank: 300 million dollars
But to process the pending request it will take some time so the company is trying to establish a temporary arrangement on priority basis for the newly associated 4 lakh panelists so that they don't get panic.
For SA upcoming ambitious project i.e. e-shoppe SA is already having 10 million dollars in advance from different prestigious brands.
Another fantastic news any time in the coming months SA in association with a UK based company can go for a 2G spectrum licence and launch our own Mobile network.
In context to ad based survey SA has already captured approx. 10% of the market share from advertisement in the TV channels all over India.
From Monday onwards their will be SMS blast by company to make us aware about new updates and news.
We had made a claim of Rs.3320.00 crores to all those who tried to defame us.
All staff of company will not withdraw their 2 month salary to support company at this crucial time.
2ND june 2011 talkatora stadium delhi booked for 2 seasons meeting of ticket 200/- only. (morning & evening 4000 speak asians each seasons) for tickets call priyal sir & myself.
(Three cheers for them)
Its really a good news to cheer.
Moneylife emailed it to top officials who gave us their visiting cards at the press conference on 16 May 2011. However, our messages sent, especially to Manoj Kumar, the company chief executive for India, bounced. Our mails to Mr Kumar have bounced many times in the past as well.
This (the bounced mails) further reveals, that the so-called biggest survey company, with over 19 lakh agents, does not even have its own e-mail server. Instead, all its officials use a paid e-mail service from Rediffmail Pro that is available for as low as Rs1,199 a year for five e-mail IDs.
Last month, advocate Saraogi called a press conference in Mumbai, barely after five days after Speak Asia's first media interface. Speaking at the press conference, Mr Saraogi said, "The company (Speak Asia) is not selling any surveys to panellists, but e-zines to its subscribers. Surveys are offered as additional benefit and can be withdrawn any time if the company's contract with clients comes to an end."
The senior lawyer also claimed that Speak Asia is selling its magazine over the Internet, which is allowed under the existing law in India and the company is in the publications business. Although Mr Saraogi said that he was a legal advisor for Speak Asia, not a single official from the company was present at the press conference.
We learn from our investigations and Speak Asia officials have also confirmed that the company is not registered in India and does not have any establishment or office in the country.
According to a PTI report, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) said it could not investigate the Singapore-based multi-level marketing (MLM) company as it is not registered in India. "Speak Asia is not registered in India so we cannot do any investigation against it. MCA does not have any database of the company," corporate affairs secretary DK Mittal told reporters in New Delhi. He also said that Speak Asia has not applied for registration with the ministry, PTI reported.
However, on Wednesday, Manoj Kumar, Speak Asia's chief executive, told reporters in Delhi that the company is in the process of seeking approval from the Registrar of Companies, the Reserve Bank of India and the Foreign Investment Promotion Board. This is in contrast with the company's stand throughout past several months that it does not require any kind of permission, registration or licence from any Indian authority.
Since the company does not have any office in India, it is difficult to start proceedings against it, in case somebody wants to file a case. It becomes difficult to file a case in any police station as the company does not have any address in India and hence the police might refuse to lodge a complaint. According to Mr Saraogi, in such cases one can file a case from whatever location he or she is present and has accessed the website. Police can register a complaint based on the IP address location, he said.

MF Husain, India's most prolific and controversial artist, leaves behind a great body of work whose value will jump manifold with his passing away
The nation and the art world are yet to come to terms with the death of India's most prolific and controversial artist, MF Husain. One of the best-selling Indian artists, Husain proved that Indian art could command the same prestige and value as that by Western contemporaries. Dedicated Husain collectors will mourn the passing away of a legend, but his works are doubly precious now.
"Husain's paintings always commanded substantial value, but now, when no new paintings will be added to the collection, the paintings will be more valuable. Not only are his paintings great works of art, but they are a sound investment," said Rajan Jayakar, eminent collector and advocate.
Husain was one of the few painters who churned out works at a rapid pace; yet the volume never diminished the value of his creations. It is no mean achievement that the man, who painted film hoardings for a livelihood early on in life, was described by none other than Forbes magazine as the "Pablo Picasso of India".
His platinum locks, sage-like looks and the brush that he carried always like a king's sceptre, increased the enigma. His aura and his bold, sharp, cubism-inspired style added value to his works and cemented his position as one of the stalwarts in India's artistic canon.
People who own Husain's works may now be left with something that is more precious. Apart from private collectors, many industrial houses like the Tatas, Godrej and Birla Academy in Kolkata are home to a number of his creations.
Husain used to gift away a lot of paintings to his friends. Amitabh Bachchan tweeted that Husain had painted two works for him personally, one of them during the filming of Coolie, when Bachchan was hospitalised. Celebrities like Shobhaa De and Pritish Nandy own quite a few of his creations.
While some people may be apprehensive about the value of controversial paintings, Mr Jayakar thinks these paintings will emerge as the most valuable ones. "Art is like movies, more controversy means more money. But, more importantly, rarer pieces are more precious," he said. "The controversial paintings are few in number, and so their value will appreciate far more than his other creations."
"The more precious a thing is, the more the reluctance to part with it," said Udit Chaudhuri, art connoisseur and son of famous sculptor Sankho Chaudhuri. "I don't think there will be an immediate jump which we see in share markets when something happens. The value of art depends on demand, but with Husain, we can expect substantial appreciation." A prominent art dealer estimated that it is possible that his paintings may appreciate as much as two and a half times in value after his death.
Union minister for corporate affairs Murli Deora was one of Husain's close friends, and owns many of his paintings. Surprisingly, despite the value of these works (even prior to the artist's death), Mr Deora has declared that his assets are worth only Rs62 lakh!
Husain's approach was completely different from the dominant Bengali school, but it established a place for Indian art in the international canvas. The painting 'Battle of Ganga and Yamuna: Mahabharata 12' created a record in 2008, when it sold for $1.6 million at an auction. Recently, three of his paintings were auctioned at Rs2.32 crore, and an unnamed oil painting was priced at Rs1.23 crore.
Along the way, Husain won accolades and collected several national and international awards, including the Padma Shree and a Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for his 1967 film Through the Eyes of a Painter. He went on to direct two more Hindi films, and painted actresses like Amrita Rao, Anushka Sharma and most famously, Madhuri Dixit.
Yet, his nude paintings of Hindu Godesses resulted in a saffron uproar, and he went on a self-imposed exile. He got citizenship in Qatar, and frequented London. He often expressed his longing to come back, and declared his faith in Indian democracy, while emphasising that he had "never betrayed India".
Following the notification, general insurers would now have to file the draft agreement of the proposed merger with IRDA and also the respective balance sheet while seeking approval from the regulator
New Delhi: The Insurance Regulatory Authority of India (IRDA) has notified the merger and acquisition (M&A) guidelines for general insurance companies thereby paving way for consolidation in the sector, reports PTI.
The regulation-Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Scheme of Amalgamation and Transfer of General Insurance Business) Regulations, 2011-would apply to all private general insurance companies with immediate effect.
With more than 10 years after opening up of the insurance sector, the regulations would pave way for M&As between 20 private sector players, most of who have foreign investment that is capped at 26%.
Following this, the general insurers would now have to file the draft agreement of the proposed merger with IRDA and also the respective balance sheet while seeking approval from the regulator.
The regulator has retained with itself the power to vet the valuations arrived at by the companies involved in M&As, saying that the authority would carry out an independent valuation of the insurance business of the transacting parties to arrive at the valuation.
In order to safeguard policyholders' interest, IRDA has mandated the insurers to inform their respective customers about the deal, it said.
Besides IRDA, an acquirer would need to have approvals from the Reserve Bank of India and the finance ministry, in case it has foreign direct investment. It also needs to have clearance of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
According to industry players, most of the private sector general insurance companies require fresh infusion of capital which may come from foreign partners, who have been constrained by the FDI cap. The Bill to raise the FDI ceiling is pending in Parliament.
The general insurance business has remained loss making for want of capital, which is constrained due cap on foreign capital infusion.
Till now, the Insurance Act provided for the M&As only for life insurance companies.

Bulawayo, Aug 6: The just concluded ODI series against India has helped Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) financially but that is "just a drop in the ocean" in a country where a cricket ball costs a whopping US dollars 180!
Zimbabwe Cricket president Peter Chingoka was quoted by "Indian Express" as saying that they are "ailing" financially.
Last week there were reports that ZC did not have money to buy meals for the players during the five-match ODI series against India where the home team lost 0-5.
"It is a big help but finally, it's just a drop in the ocean. India can't play here every year as they have a series lined up every month. We are thankful to them for sending a team here. Even through the little revenue that has trickled in, we cannot have an A tour this year or the next," Chingoka said when asked about India series.
"The Zimbabwean economy has been making things tough for us. A Kookaburra ball costs 180 US dollars here. Since 1999, more black people have taken up the game and now cricket has emerged as the second sport of the country," he added.

Radio show host, Alex Jones, saw Republican strategist Karl Rove at an airport yesterday. Both men were traveling from Texas to Cleveland for the GOP Convention.
Jones, who is known for his "in your face" interviews, tried to engage a conversation with Rove. However, the Fox News Contributor wouldn't have it, telling Jones to call Fox to get permission for an interview. Jones continued to pressure Rove to answer questions about Bush, Trump and Clinton, but Rove would not give in. According to Jones, Rove contacted the airport police. The video can be seen by clicking here.
When the plane landed, Jones continued to pressure Rove while he spoke to fans at the airport luggage claim area. At one point Jones puts his hands on Rove. Karl did not appreciate the gesture and got in Jone's face and voiced a warning.
