During our scheduled maintenance period this morning we had a catastrophic hardware failure across a number of systems including some of our backup systems. We have the capacity and ability to recover from this failure. However, due to the extent of this failure we cannot provide an ETA on when service will be restored, we will continue to provide you updates as they are available to us.
We apologize, we would like to play just as badly as you would.

We attempted to upgrade the processor on our database boxes. Both of our servers were simultaneously taken offline while the new hardware was being put in place. During this period of time, the file systems on BOTH boxes were destroyed. If this boggles your mind to the point that you can't believe it could happen, you would be in the same exact boat we are! It seems almost statistically impossible, however, it is in fact what happened.
This leaves us with no hardware to operate our DBs from until we can get new servers online. The reason for such a catastrophic situation is that this hardware is not the type that is simply sitting around, even in the largest hosting facilities in the world (in which we host at). We are scrambling to bring our systems back online temporarily so you can play the game through other short term methods while we get new hardware online.

Maliken stated the situation pretty plainly but accurate.
A CPU upgrade was performed at the data center on our databases. A chassis swap was performed and resulted in some manner of data loss on the system. I don't know exactly how this happened. Also note, we are trying to recover that lost data which failed the disc check utility from one of those boxes. We are also actively restoring a backup which any IT professional would know that restoring hundreds of Gigs of data takes time. We are currently racing between two system restores both on site and a different location.
At the same time nothing has really changed. We are not sleeping. Everyone is still here working on stuff, testing everything, re-testing everything, moving data, setting up new boxes, testing more, etc etc.
As Maliken said we had a simple hardware update in our remote datacenter go completely bonkers and destroy our databases. As soon as we found out we had to pick our chins up off the floor then used them to say "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
Ever since we have been doing all we can to figure out where we are with backups, new hardware, syncing domains and making sure all of our systems point to the right places and work correctly. That is what we are doing now.
TL DR - Stuff broke. We are still here fixing it. Nothing changed on your end that you need to know about yet. We will be here all night.

We are finishing up some tests and mass-restarting all of the servers to get some new IP configuration information. We will let you know how things look after all of them have reset and connected to the new database.

We are turning everything back on now. The systems, logins, and such will be coming back up slowly.

Air Lease Corporation says it has completed transactions covering 11 twin aisle aircraft and two single aisle aircraft.
The deals include the purchase of eight new Boeing 787-9 aircraft for lease to Vietnam Airlines. Deliveries of the eight 787-9 "Dreamliner" aircraft are scheduled for 2017 and 2018. This transaction marks ALC's longest lead time for a lease placement to date. ALC also bought a B777-300ER on long term lease to Emirates (a new customer for ALC) from Macquarie Aviation.
The company also acquired one incremental A330-200 on long term lease to KLM delivering in 2013, an A330-300 from the ALC pipeline on long term lease to Sichuan Airlines delivering in 2013. Sichuan airlines also executed a four year extension on one A319 aircraft currently on lease from ALC, and an Embraer 190 from the ALC pipeline leased to LAM (Mozambique) delivering in 2012.
"These global lease placements demonstrate the growth of our widebody business in Asia, the addition of Emirates to our customer base, our increasing level of business with KLM, as well as our further expansion into proven carriers in Southern Africa such as LAM. The marketplace for the products represented by these lease placements remain strong," said John L. Plueger, President & Chief Operating Officer of ALC. (Artist's rendering provided by Boeing)

How do you expect Mass. Gov Mitt Romney to win over Americans when he can't win over the people in Massachusetts he governed?
Friday, October 26th, 2012How do you expect the former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney to win over Americans when he can't win over the people he used to govern?
John McCain won his State of Arizona during the 2008 Presidential elections against President Obama, so why is Romney unable to convince the people he used to govern?
It seems to me that if you are a strong candidate — you should be able to at least win the state you used to be the Governor of.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick went on to say:
"By the time he left office, Massachusetts was 47th in the nation in job creation," said Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the Democrat who succeeded Romney in 2006.
It appears Romney is avoiding the discussion of his record as Massachusetts Governor.
Why is that?
POLITICO has an excellent discussion on why some folks think he is avoiding talking about his record below:
POLITICO's Glenn Thrush reports that Mitt Romney is consistently avoiding discussions about his time served as governor of Massachusetts.
Even though he passed a sweeping local health care reform bill, supported abortion rights and closed tax loopholes for the rich, Romney has chosen instead to highlight his time as a business man who ran the Salt Lake City Olympics and Bain Capital. Current Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick called the situation "weird" and the Obama campaign in April released a video mocking Romney's avoidance of his Bay State history.
Is Romney wise to let his sometimes-centrist Massachusetts career go by the wayside? Or is he missing a chance to highlight some of his key political victories?

At its regular meeting on Dec. 21, the Holley Navarre Water System board heard a report on the progress at the Holley Wastewater Treatment Plant. General Manager Ken Walker reported the work that Vision Construction Co. is doing for the structure was about 80 percent complete. Most of the remaining work involves installing equipment. The completion date is expected to be in April.
A residential fire on Dec. 13 in Pace is believed to have been caused by a faulty chimney flue.
Though it's been nearly seven decades since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, students at Navarre High School don't want anyone to forget about the thousands of Americans who were either injured or died that fateful day.
If you are walking or running on the Navarre Beach path, Maggie Roberts will probably introduce herself and ask you about your passion for walking or running. That would happen even if she wasn't the director for the Galloway Emerald Coast Getting Started program, because Roberts is in love with running.

Although not a pro, I fish numerous bass tournaments and use lipless crankbaits on every outing 5+ times a month. They are my creel limit go to bait. It seems the finish on the "shiny flat surfaced lures" not the ones with dimples, peels off easily after a few hours of use, especially if they're catching fish. I expect to lose a lure but the finish doesn't seem to adhere to the product. I will continue to buy the lures "Because They Catch Fish". Just wish they'd hold up better.

Shroud of Bereavement
...Of Ages
Poorly recorded doom/death on a medieval tip. Promise shines through despite uneven quality and corpulent fleshy structures.
...Of Ages is a compilation of demos and unreleased tracks. I didn't realize relatively unaccomplished bands could get away with releasing these kinds of albums, but I digress. What's offered here, then, is a condensed summary of what Shroud of Bereavement have to offer as a band. I'd say quite a bit, if you fancy yourself a fan of this kind of droning doom/death. The compositions drag, and the reliance on lower end keyboards is disappointing, but what matters is that there are good ideas here. There's a neo-classical thrust to each of the tracks, most of which resolve in extended interludes that are surprisingly rewarding. Despite its lack of cohesion, I actually found myself enjoying mostly all eight minutes of "Willowsoul," a song that exudes an impressive medieval predominance despite the low-fi recording. There's potential for some of these songs to be just... enormous and not just sonically, but thematically as well. The way SOB take their time to develop a tune like "The Absolution of Sorrow" at their own pace, add textures throughout, and bring back down to a stripped down logical conclusion is impressive.
There's a lot of wasted potential here though. There's too much spotlight shined on keyboard fondling or underdeveloped interludes, and not enough on the monolithic rhythm section that actually makes the songs heavy and captivating. The noodling may play a part in Shroud of Bereavement's arsenal, but when it completely dominates a song like "The Fools Lament," the result is pure tedium.
The scale actually dips toward boredom on most of the tracks here, but when I listen to demo material I'm only listening for captivating moments or ideas. Looking for great songs is just too frustrating. If Shroud of Bereavement could fashion an entire album with the kind of energy shown on tracks like "Must It Be" or with the forethought of "The Absolution of Sorrow," then they might be on to something.

Regents seek info on probe of ex-U of Iowa counselor
IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa Board of Regents President Craig Lang said he's asked for more information about events that led to the resignation of a University of Iowa athletics department counselor who had been accused of improperly touching student-athletes for years.
The board on Monday discussed the case of Peter V. Gray, 59, who resigned last week after working at the athletics department for the last decade, Lang said. He said he expects the information this week and that the board will oversee the case.
An internal report obtained by the Iowa City Press-Citizen concluded that Gray, associate director of athletic student services, violated the university's sexual harassment policy.

CTR is a Washington state law that requires employers with 100 or more employees to develop programs that encourage their employees to use alternatives to driving alone for their commute. The Washington State Legislature passed the original CTR law in 1991 in an effort to reduce traffic congestion, reduce energy use and alleviate air pollution. The law was recently updated with the passage of the CTR Efficiency ACT in 2006. Read more about Washington State's Commute Trip Reduction Law.
The CTR laws applies to all employers, including public (i.e., federal, state and local governments, and military) and private, which have 100 or more "affected" employees who work at a single worksite. "Affected employees" are those employees who:
The CTR law also applies to local jurisdictions (cities and counties) where an affected employer is located, as well as all state agencies - even if they have fewer than 100 affected employees.
Worksites with fewer than 100 employees can participate in the CTR program voluntarily. Community Transit also offers a small employer program.
Each CTR affected or voluntary worksite has set goals to achieve in reducing drive alone rate and employee vehicle miles traveled. After conducting a baseline survey, your worksite's goals will be to reduce 10% of your current drive alone rate and 13% of your employee vehicle miles traveled within a four year period.
Employers must make a good faith effort to develop and implement a CTR program. This means, at minimum, doing the following:
Some of the additional strategies that may be implemented at the worksite include a variety of program elements such as:
Commute programs can be added to your benefit package at little cost to you and your company can profit from these programs. Employees who rideshare are absent and tardy less often, and are usually more productive. Demand for parking can be reduced. And, an Employee Transportation Program can actually enhance your community and employee relations. Community Transit offers several programs in support of your efforts, so contact Community Transit's Transportation Demand Management Specialists today to get started.
Complete the Employer Information Form (pdf). Community Transit's Transportation Demand Management staff will use this information to assign a representative to your worksite and begin evaluating the best Employee Transportation Program for your worksite.

There's something compelling from a generational perspective about the latest chapter in Catalyst Paper's bid to carry on as an industrial force in B.C.
A determined bunch of pensioners with shrewd lawyers played an important role in getting the company's restructuring plan approved Monday, the second time around.
The first restructuring plan presented to creditors failed last month because a couple of U.S. investment funds tried a power play. Catalyst's plan to continue operating three mills in Powell River, Port Alberni and Crofton was obviously in the best interests of the workers, the communities and Vancouver Island. But the hedge funds holding some of Catalyst's debt tried to block it, just to squeeze a few more cents on the dollar out of the process.
It's just an assumption on my part, but I picture some youngish MBAs executing this hardball manoeuvre with a certain attitude. No hard feelings if your mills close and get sold for scrap, and communities suffer. It's just business.
They blocked the approval of the plan last month by a thin margin and it looked like their mercenary approach had won. Catalyst Paper showed little inclination at first to contest the result. It put itself up for sale as the process dictated. A breakup of the company - with huge uncertainty for thousands of people - became a real possibility.
Except the pensioners decided to fight back. They are retired salaried staff of all the predecessors that have owned Catalyst properties in years gone by - MacMillan Bloedel, Fletcher Challenge, B.C. Forest Products, et al.
Those names have faded into history. But the pensioners sure haven't.
They weren't even directly involved in the first vote on the plan. Under the rules governing the process, pensioners weren't considered an affected party. So they weren't considered creditors, so they didn't have a vote.
Nonetheless, if it failed, their pensions would be cut 35 per cent, since the company would wind up with a huge deficiency in its pension plan. It put the pensioners in the strange position of only being considered players after the game was already lost.
So they executed an ingenious move. They surrendered all their extended health benefits and granted the company much more time to replenish the pension fund. Those moves meant forgoing a million dollars worth of value, including significant health-insurance coverage. But it qualified them as unsecured creditors, which gave them some voting power.
They also campaigned intensely for a second vote.
And behind the scenes, they launched their own power play. They threatened to apply for an order that would have deemed their pensions a "deemed trust." It's a contentious issue in pension law, now before the Supreme Court of Canada, that could effectively put pensioners at the front of the line in any insolvency cases, ahead of all other lenders.
The threat, combined with the benefits for the company in their concessions, changed the equation for the hedge funds. As well, one creditor changed its mind and another came on board. The final part of the campaign to win the second attempt came Friday, when some other members of the small holdout group agreed to give in, if Catalyst paid their legal costs.
It all paid off Monday, when secured and unsecured creditor groups each voted 99 per cent in favour of the plan.
There were some other chapters in this story. Catalyst CEO Kevin Clarke wrote an angry letter about the B.C. government's lack of action on the eve of a meeting with Premier Christy Clark. She pulled an important cabinet minister, Pat Bell, off the file and delegated deputy finance minister Peter Milburn and Liberal MLA Colin Hansen to resolve problems.
Catalyst Paper still faces a lot of uncertainty. But it has won some property-tax breaks from the communities and some concessions from the unions. Now it has shed a large share of the debt it was carrying ($700 million) and has a fighting chance to carry on.
A lot of interests came together, but the retirees' decision to give something up in order to get something back looks to be a key move.
It gives a new meaning to the term "seniors' moment."
Their "moment" consisted of several weeks of hard work executing some innovative strategic thinking that paid off in a big win for everyone.

Outdoor enthusiasts have made Mountain House freeze-dried food their first choice for 35 years. Why? Because Mountain House tastes better than other brands! Other backpacking food brands consist of only a few freeze-dried ingredients, mixed with dried seasonings and ingredients, which are then blended, not cooked. Mountain House meals are cooked to give you the delicious homemade flavor you deserve. All you need to add is boiling water, and in just a few minutes, they are ready to eat! Net wt. 4.3 oz. (122g) Makes two 10 oz. servings.
Easy to Prepare:
1. Open pouch at tear notch. Remove and discard oxygen absorber.
2. Carefully add 2 cups (16 oz) boiling water to pouch.
3. Stir thoroughly and close zipper. Let stand 8-9 minutes. Stir and serve. For your convenience, eat right our o the pouch.
Pouches--10 Year Shelf Life
Based on our ongoing sensory and nutrition testing of actual Mountain House products, in 2012 the shelf life was increased by an impressive 42%, from 7 years to 10 years! That�s right -- our shelf life is at least 10 years from the date of manufacture as long as the pouch is stored unopened in a cool area. After 10 years a change in flavor and appearance may be noticed. We have personally tasted pouches that were 30 years old and they still taste great. For best results, avoid prolonged storage at temperatures above 75� F (24� C).

Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB Review - Fermi goes lower, again
Reference and Galaxy Overclocked cards
The GeForce GTS 450 1GB card looks very much like the GTX 460 and is pretty basic in terms of design and cooler configuration.
The cards will only require a single 6-pin PCIe power connection which is good news for those gamers with cheaper power supplies.
The reference card connections include a pair of dual-link DVI ports and a mini-HDMI though we are still only able to connect two displays simultaneously.
The bare card shows us just how little board design there is on the GF106-based parts compared to the higher end cards that require much more power regulation, etc.
Even the heatsink for the GTS 450 is small and the shroud that covers it greatly exaggerates its size and weight.
The only retail sample we received early enough to do testing with (planned vacations and unplanned GPU releases never work out well) was the Galaxy GeForce GTS 450 Super OC model that, as the name implies, runs at higher than standard speeds.
Galaxy continues with the feature of the removable fan for their cooler design with the low cost cards.
The connectivity options include a full size HDMI port, VGA output and one dual-link DVI connection. Based on the price and the consumer that is usually buying this level of graphics card I think Galaxy's design makes more sense than NVIDIA's reference.
Now, let's take a look at the Galaxy card's speeds and get started on those tests!
June 6, 2011 | 04:33 PM - Posted by Anonymous (not verified)
Thanks for taking your time writing this review. I just purchased a new pc with GTS 450, should be receiving it tommorow. I think it's a good card for a good price for anyone who's not a high end game graphics maximalist.

CSS frameworks are bloated. CSS frameworks are for people who don't know how to code. CSS is too simple to implement a framework.
If you've ever read a tutorial on a CSS framework, I can guarantee that many comments mimic the previous statements. My guess is that the majority of these comments are stemmed from slight ignorance. Once you take the opportunity to spend some time with 960, you'll be amazed at how much time can potentially be saved when developing your web applications. At the very least, take ten minutes to review the framework. You can always press the delete key…though I doubt you will!
- Rapidly speeds up development time.
- Clean grid structure.
- Not many browser inconsistencies. The ones you find can be fixed easily.
- It's not "bloated" as many people suggest. We're talking 3-4kb here, folks! You would use many of these stylings anyways.
- Build complex layouts quickly.
- It's named "960″ for a reason. If you're hoping to use a different width for you website, you might be better off choosing a different framework.
- As with any "framework", you lose a bit of flexibility.
- You didn't create it. There's something to be said for code being 100% our own.
Let's imagine that we want to work with the "12 column" structure to create the extremely simple layout seen below. First, we must create a wrapper div that has a class of "container_12″. Notice the 12.

 ...content goes here

Specifying an id here isn't required by any means. However, I find that it helps me to remember exactly what the div is. One of the gripes against 960 is that the classes do nothing to define what the element is. Simply including an id fixes that issue.
Now we want to create a simple header and two column structure. When first getting started, it's helpful to examine the demo to choose how wide a grid you should use.
I'm going to choose a header width of "940px" (+ 20px margins = 960), a sidebar width of "220px", and a main content width of "700px".
You must assign a class to each div. Naming conventions require that that the class name begins with "grid_" and ends with the number of columns needed. In our case, we'll use "grid_12′, "grid_3″ and "grid_9″, respectively.

 content goes here

 content goes here

 content goes here

The only additional styling that I've added is background colors and a minimum width for each div to simulate an actual website full of text. I won't go over that here; mostly because they should be removed. They're only used here to demonstrate the structure.
Without worrying about margins, floats, or IE hacks, we're able to create a layout extremely fast. The true power of 960 is demonstrated when building complex newspaper-like layouts. For more detail, be sure to watch the screencast above.

Grid 960 is a CSS Framework that enables developers to rapidly prototype designs. They are excellent tools for creating mock ups. Why? Because they do all the heavy lifting allowing you to get faster results.
Build a Newspaper Theme With WP_Query and the 960 CSS Framework
WP_Query is a powerful tool to control what comes out of your loop. Today I'm going to teach you all how to use it to make a 3 columned newspaper theme that has all your main blog posts in the main column, and off to the side a set of posts with a certain category. We'll be using the 960 CSS framework for the basic layout and reset of our theme, it will chop a lot of work off what's needed!
Which CSS Grid Framework Should You Use for Web Design?
Ever wondered how all those slick "magazine" themes for WordPress and other platforms were created? Many, if not all, were designed using a CSS Grid Framework – at least in essence if not in actual fact. That is, you can use an existing CSS framework or build your own from scratch. While it's possible to design complex web page layouts without a framework, it's arguably an act in masochism. In this article you'll get an overview of the current batch of Frameworks and which you should choose to use.

Buying a smart phone from a third-party, discount online retailer might seem like a shrewd move, but a $50 discount could cost you $400 later if something goes wrong, in addition to any early termination fees charged by the carrier. That means consumers who buy from big-name third-party retailers like Target or Radio Shack could end up facing up to $750 if they prematurely cancel service. It also means consumers might be hit with a big bill from an unexpected place.
Ohio consumer Chris Eash found this out the hard way when an innocent mistake involving a handset return to a RadioShack retail store led to weeks of pestering by a company named Simplexity, which powers online cellphone sales at some of the nation's largest retailers, including RadioShack.com and Target.com.
Simplexity's proposition might sound simple: Consumers accept a discount in exchange for promising to pay a hefty fine if they cancel or change service within the first 181 days. But a glance online shows many complaints from consumers who are confused when hit by the fee.
Simplexity does disclose the fee prior to purchase, but it takes some work to find it. On RadioShack's mobile sales Website, for example, the fee is revealed via a link labeled "instant savings terms and terms of purchase," on the final page of the cellphone checkout procedure. Users must click on that link and read through a pop-up window to learn that their credit cards will be charged $400 if the carrier indicates service is changed within 181 days.
Essentially, Simplexity is forcing consumers to cover the commission that would have been paid by carriers had the consumer maintained service. And it might be a fair deal for cellphone buyers to take a discount now and risk a fee later. For example, visitors to RadioShack.com on Monday were offered a chance to buy a 16 GB Droid Bionic with a Verizon contract for $49 -- $50 less than the $99 price advertised at VerizonWireless.com.But as Eash learned, Simplexity can be very aggressive about getting its bounty from consumers when anything goes wrong. He visited RadioShack.com in March and decided to buy a 4G Motorola phone, then went to his local store to actually make the purchase. When he got home, he realized that the salesman had given him the wrong handset -- the 3G version -- and he went back to the store the next day to return it. At the store, he was told the 4G phone was only available at the Radio Shack Website. He was also told by Verizon that if he returned the 3G phone before buying the 4G phone online, he would lose his phone number. So within about 48 hours, he ordered the 4G online, ported his number to it, then returned the 3G at the store.
Within days, Simplexity -- the retailer behind RadioShack.com -- contacted Eash and said he owed $400 because he'd changed the number associated with the 4G phone when it was sold. He hadn't done anything wrong; he only had one phone handset, and he was honoring his contract. But no amount of pleading could deter the collectors, he said. The saga dragged on, with each firm blaming the other.
"I got a notice from Simplexity ... (saying) that since I haven't paid the $400, they are going to charge the debit card I used for my purchase," he said. He canceled his debit card to avoid the charge, but Simplexity then threatened his credit report. "I have spent hours on the phone with both Verizon and Simplexity trying to get them to work it out with no luck. Both say the resolution is up to the other company. It's come down to 'Give us $400 or we crap on your credit record.'"
Operators told him that, essentially, if Verizon didn't pay Simplexity its bounty for getting him to sign up as a new customer, he'd have to pay it.
At the end of his rope, he contacted msnbc.com. We contacted Verizon, which escalated his problem with Simplexity. Eash was then contacted by a Simplexity official who apologized and promised to fix the mix-up. The official indicated there was honest confusion because the number associated with the phone purchased from Simplexity had been changed, and that resulted in a "charge-back" from VerizonWireless.
The e-mail also explained that Simplexity must charge a hefty fee when phones are deactivated to avoid consumers simply purchasing their discounted phones and then canceling service and using a different provider.
Eash was satisfied, but the experience left him with serious reservations about using online discount cellphone retailers.
"Without some serious string pulling, I would have never talked to (the final Simplexity official) and would still be fighting with Simplexity," he said. "I told him he had a company that with the exception of one person ... shows very little regard for their customers. I would strongly urge anyone considering buying a cellphone online to make sure this company is not the one behind the curtain pulling the levers. They operate many store brand cellphone web sites that have absolutely no connection to the store on the page."
Simplexity did not respond to questions about Eash's complaint or about its business model, which also involves selling phones directly to consumers through its WireFly.com Website.
Tom Pica, a spokesman for Verizon, said he couldn't comment on an individual consumer's account, but added that the firm has not received many complaints from consumers who purchased their devices from Simplexity.
"We have high standards for our authorized agents and the service they provide to our customers," he said.
Neither Target nor Radio Shack responded to requests for comment by press time.
If you've never shopped at a third-party online cell phone retailer, dual fees for prematurely ending a cell phone contract may be new to you. But they are common. Amazon, for example, offers deep phone discounts but charges $250 if the service is disconnected or canceled before 181 days have passed, in addition to any carrier fees. Letstalk.com, which operates Walmart's online cellphone sales, also charges $250, describing the charge as an "equipment subsidy recovery fee." Such fees first caught the attention of the public – and regulators – in 2010, when Google added a hefty early termination fee to initial buyers of its pricey Nexus One phone. After inquiries from the FCC, the fee was reduced from $350 to $150.
(ShopNBC.com also uses Simplexity to fulfill cell phone orders. Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC News)
Still, some consumers are apparently confused by Simplexity's charges, and have lodged numerous complaints on Websites. Nearly all of them are accompanied by a note from a Simplexity official offering to clear up the matter.
One writer on ComplaintsBoard.com sounded desperate in a post titled, "I want my $600 back." That consumer said he or she had purchased two Droid phones and returned them, only to be hit with a $600 charge. A writer named "WireflyKSCorpHQ" wrote back and offered to help and later posted a note saying the matter was resolved. Another writer added, " I just received a text message (Alert) stating a withdrawal of 600.00 from Simplexity. I don't even know who they are or how they have my account number! Were you able to solve this issue? Is there any way I can receive my money back?" WireflyKSCorpHQ again offered to help.
Simplexity acknowledges questions about its discounts at a page on the Wirefly Website titled "How can Wirefly offer such great deals" Is it a scam? What's the catch?"
On the page, Simplexity explains that it passes commissions it receives from cellphone network operators on to consumers and why it must recover the commissions if consumers cancel service. It also brags about the price clarity it offers consumers.
"Cellphone rebates can be confusing and most people don't like them. That's why Wirefly has not offered rebates on any products since 2007," the page says.
The page doesn't to mention that in 2006, Wirefly.com, under previous ownership while named InPhonic Inc., was sued by the Washington, D.C., attorney general's office after more than 2,000 complaints about unpaid rebates were received by the local Better Business Bureau office. The complaints were also the focus of an msnbc.com story. At the time, the firm was accused of creating near-impossible rebate terms, such as requiring consumers to file for rebates 180 days after service started, but no later than 210 days.
InPhonic, which at the time claimed to be the largest independent online cell phone retailer, settled that case in late 2006, agreeing to pay the rebates. The following year, the firm filed for bankruptcy. WireFly.com and other assets of the company were purchased by the Philadelphia-based private equity firm Versa Capital Management, which created a new firm named Simplexity. A spokesperson at the time told the Washington Post that the new company would not engage in any rebate programs in a story titled, "Rebates for customers of InPhonic in peril, again." Also at that time, InPhonic CEO David Steinberg said he would step aside.
But several members of the current Simplexity "Leadership Team" also worked at InPhonic, according to the Simplexity website. On that page, InPhonic is described only as "a publicly traded Internet retailer."
Simplexity maintains an A rating at the Better Business Bureau, though that agency's site says there have been 662 complaints filed against the firm in the past three years -- all of them "closed." That generally means the firm has responded, though it does not guarantee that consumers are satisfied with that response.
The only direct connection between Simplexity's current business model and InPhonic's troubled rebate model is the magic 180-day mark at which authorized resellers get to keep their bounty from mobile providers for signing up new customers. What Simplexity is doing now is in some ways the reverse of a rebate program – rather than making consumers wait 180 days to receive a $100 or $200 check, the firm is crediting the consumer immediately and grabbing back that money in the event that the deal goes sour before 180 days. As long as consumers understand the risk they are taking by accepting Simplexity/Wirefly's discount, bargains can be had. Things do happen, however, and it's worth considering if $50 today is worth a possible $400 bill tomorrow.
Eash was so scarred by his experience, and the hidden traps he landed in, that he says he would never do it again.
"My advice: Buy directly from the service provider and NEVER from a third party. In the long run it may be a LOT less expensive," he said.

A Level Performance Descriptors Science Subjects 2007
Produced in 2007, these performance descriptors for science subjects at AS and A2 levels were written to indicate the level of attainment characteristic of grades A/B and E/U boundary candidates across a series of assessment objectives. It was intended that they should be interpreted in relation to the content outlined in the specification; they are not designed to define that content. They gave a general indication of the learning outcomes and levels of attainment likely to be shown by a representative candidate performing at each boundary.
The requirement for all AS and A level specifications to assess candidates' quality of written communication would be met through one or more of the assessment objectives.
The performance descriptions were produced by the regulatory authorities (QCA, Welsh Assembly Government and CEA (Northern Ireland)) in collaboration with the awarding bodies.

No One Likes Wet Boots
After a day of playing out in the snow, you're bound to come in soggy from the snow. And no one wants to slip on wet boots or gloves the next day.
The solution? The Winter Gear Dryer from Frontgate.
Use it to dry your boots, hats, mittens, gloves, socks, or helmet. It even includes boot extensions for knee-high boots. Now your gear will be dry and ready for you to use the next day. Not to mention that getting rid of the moisture will keep your boots from smelling.
You can even use it to warm up your gear. How nice would it be to slip on a pair of toasty warm boots and mittens before heading out into the bitter cold?
If you live in a place where it rains or snows in the winter, $94.50 seems like a small price to pay.

Ukraine-native Tanya Witkowski dishes up a chilled root-veggie salad whose beet-red hue adds a festive touch to the holiday table.
• 6 medium fresh beets
• 2 large potatoes
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 large dill pickle spears
• 2 tablespoons canola or
Safflower oil
In a pot, cover beets in water and boil for 50 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots whole, and boil an additional 40 minutes.
Trim skin from pickle spears and cut the meat of the pickle into a small dice. Drain in a colander.
Remove skin from the beets, potatoes and carrots. Cut each into small dice. Keeping beets separate, add 1 teaspoon of oil to them and gently mix oil to coat. Gently combine the potatoes and carrots and add 1 teaspoon of oil. Mix, taking care not to crush the softened vegetables. Allow the vegetables to sit for 2 minutes then gently combine beets and potato-carrot mixture. Add remaining oil and mix.
Refrigerate before serving. Looks lovely in a white bowl. Garnish with a few sprigs of fresh parsley.

What I've learned is DON'T CHEW GUM at delivery, or at least spit it out before the video starts!
I just watched our delivery video for the first time and I looked completely ridiculous chewing gum! I was chewing gum during labor to keep my mind off the pain, but definitely should have spit it out and not continue to chew the ENTIRE time. And it wasn't one piece, I had a good half pack of Bubbalicious gum in my mouth! Aye!
