Phishing and Scam Emails
Advice from AOL Phishing emails often use official-looking logos and layouts and sometimes link to very real-looking forms. The people behind these scams are looking for passwords, banking information, Social Security number, mother's maiden name, date of birth and more. They can use this to steal your identity and assets or open credit card accounts in your name. Typically phishing emails contain a link to click or a file to download. Don't click any links. Don't download any files! When you think someone's trying to trick you, click Forward and forward it to us at this address: firstname.lastname@example.com Email scams are tough to weed out. Nevertheless, almost all of them contain clues that will help you figure out that these are scam emails. You just have to know what to look for. Top 5 clues to spot an email scam: 1. Check the spelling
Scammers are notorious for their lack of basic spelling and grammar skills. Look out for misspelled words and incomplete or awkwardly written sentences in the email. An email that is supposedly from a reputable and well-known organization will not misspell the name of the organization. For example, one email scam aimed at Facebook users spelled the name of the site with a lowercase F ("facebook"). 2. Check who signed it
An email from a legitimate business will always be signed with a person's name and contact information. If an email signs off with something vague, such as "Customer Support," be wary. 3. DOES THE EMAIL SCREAM AT YOU IN ALL CAPS or have lots of !!!!!! at the end?
Beware of emails that try to get your attention by using all capital letters, especially in the subject line, or that try to scare you with lots of exclamation marks. Using all caps has long been viewed as online shouting, which just isn't done. The authors of scam emails tend to write over-the-top and very emotional content. Also, keep an eye out for dire warnings, such as "Urgent!" or "Danger!" 4. The email has an executable attachment
Never download an attachment unless you are sure it's legitimate. A favorite ploy of scammers is to send emails that look like someone you know sent it to you. Don't be fooled by the sender's name. Always verify that the attached file does not contain a virus. You can do this by running a scan or checking with the sender whether it is a legitimate email.
#105 TMC January 2015 Page 02 Copyrighted Material
5. The email has a link to a Web site
As more people now know that they shouldn't download attachments from strangers, scammers have become smarter. Instead of attaching a file, they include a clickable link to a Web site, where you might be asked to provide personal information. For example, you might receive an email that appears to be from your bank offering you a very low interest rate on a mortgage or home equity loan. If you click on the link, it could ask your name, bank account number and online banking password to get onto the site. Don't ever provide this information if you have reached the site by clicking a link in an email. One final word of advice: Never, ever respond to a spam email. By doing so, you confirm that your email account is active, and you'll likely be flooded with more spam. Check out our other help articles if you feel that you have been a victim of a phishing email, would like to report suspicious emails or would like more information about phishing and scam emails or links. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the best online experience possible. Remember, you can always reach us by emailing email@example.com. Sincerely, AOL Community

Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) for July 28 discusses Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the fungus which infects amphibians through their skin. The fungus defeats the immune system of frogs by unleashing a chemical which goads the frogs' lymphocytes into apoptosis, or cellular suicide. And the only reference to fungi in The New Yorker for August 25 also depicts them as bad guys; an article about a crusade against genetically modified crops contains a single reference to fungi by mentioning black sigatoka as attacking Africa's "most important crops [and being] in many instances every bit as deadly as H.I.V. and TB." And a letter in The New England Journal of Medicine for August 28 piles it on by noting that "reports have documented the frequent contamination of marijuana with fungal organisms and the [consequent] potential for severe complications, including death."
The opposite relationship between a drug and a fungus is being fostered at Stanford University according to New Scientist for 30 August. There researchers are have used genetically engineered yeasts to build an opiate precursor molecule and have engineered yeasts to synthesize finished drugs from another type of precursor molecule.
An ungrammatical headline ("A fungi's deadly tactics") makes us be a bit leery about citing the contribution of THE WEEK for September 5 to this column, but here goes: Scientists in Brazil wondered why a fungus which infects carpenter ants did so before the infected ant returned to the nest where it could infect the whole colony. They found that an infected ant was quickly removed from the nest when placed there by the scientists, but if left alone, the infected ant would climb a tree, latch onto the underside of a leaf and, upon death, sprout a long stalk which rained down spores on other ants on the forest floor below.
As far as I know, we can get along well without carpenter ants, but coffee is another matter, and Scientfic American for October points out in a discussion of the problems faced in coffee production that "Fungi such as Hemileia vastatrix (coffee rust) and Colleotrichum kahawae have devastated crops in Central America and Ethiopia, respectively."
Using mushroom mycelium to grow packaging materials in place is discussed in C&EN for October 6, but this time the drawbacks which I have previously brought up are mentioned. The October 20 issue of the same publication draws our interest with a reference to Eastern Filbert Blight which makes it hard to grow hazelnuts in the U.S. and is being fought in the U.S. by an effort to bring blight-resistant trees here.
Science for 31 October describes fungal threats facing salamanders. We learn that globally populations of amphibians have been severely affected by infection with Batrachocytrium dendrobatidis, and are now threatened by B. salamandrivorans which has migrated from Asia to Europe, where it is killing endangered salamanders and threatens to continue on to North America and endangers Western Palearctic salamanders.
In C&EN for November 17, we learn of a new use for fungi. Scientists studying chemicals which block biofilms, such as those produced by Candida albicans, found that when they grew the soil fungus Bionectria ochroleuca on Cheerios instead of their usual agar medium they produced more, and more kinds of bionectriols, which are compounds that prevent both growth and biofilm formation of C. albicans.

Sierra for November/December draws our interest with an article on the four best foods to forage, and illustrates the category "fungi" with a photograph of enoki (The discussion is of foraging, but the illustration is not of Flammulina velutipes as seen in the wild.) and some comments on cookery by Eugenia Bone.
If you've grown mushrooms at home, you've probably been plagued by fruit flies and C&EN for November 10 points out that yeast cultures also attract Drosophila melanogaster. The article describes a study which showed that yeasts emitting compounds with fruity aromas attracted more flies and that this aided in spreading the yeasts.
The Boston Globe for November 17 contains an interesting article which describes and illustrates the techniques used by biologists to study white nose syndrome in bats in order to understand what they can do to protect the bats.
One of the mysteries presented to scientists by some extremely large and homogeneous growths of Armillaria gallica is why these growths can become so large without mutations causing changes in parts of them. Science for 21 November explains how this is so because the cells on the growth front are relatively free of mutations compared to cells deeper within the growth. In the same issue is an article discussing the viruses, bacteria and fungi which live on normal human skin and defend it from harmful organisms. Although there is considerable variety among the viruses and bacteria, Malassezia constitute the overwhelming fungal component. (Puzzled? Malassezia is the current name for Pityrosporum.)
Britt Bunyard calls our attention to an article in Nature for 4 December, wherein is discussed the global threat presented by aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. The toxin causes liver cancer.
Finally, we note that Scientific American for December devotes a two-page spread to honoring Rodham E. Tulloss, whose converted garage contains "One of the world's largest and most diverse collections of amanitas—the group of fungi that includes death caps, destroying angels and the polka –dotted mushrooms of Super Mario renown…".

Here are a few quotations from a short story in The New Yorker (TNY) for May 12. Your task is to determine in what country the story takes place: "Everyone foraged in the forest. . .They filled pillowcases with mushrooms.. . . They stashed pickles and mushrooms in the cellar and buried the early potatoes. . . and all the mushrooms—from the little slippery Jacks to the ugly milkcaps.. . . We just came up here to take a look at our property and pick up some pickles and mushrooms from our cellar." The correct answer is the obvious one.
Okay, you got that one right, but did you know that, as pointed out in a book review in Science for 16 May that the oldest living things in the world include "monster mushrooms" and Arctic lichens? More educational is the answer to a reader's question given in New Scientist (NS) for May 17. The reader submitted a photo of "small pebble-like fungi " dug up in a forest on the west coast of Norway and asked what they were. The answer is so interesting and packed with information that it resists summary, but I'll try: "The fungus that you have dug up is most likely to be the ascomycete, Elaphomyces granulatus [and] are commonly known as false truffles.
"Although the fungus isn't edible for humans, deer eat the thick outer skin but leave the black mass at the centre. These masses are packed with thousands of spores . . .
"They are usually found in deciduous or coniferous woods. . .
"The fungi aren't particularly beautiful but they are hardly ever seen. They often grow in symbiosis with spruce trees, forming . . .ectomycorrhizas. . .
Interestingly the fungus can be infected by Cordyceps ophioglossoides. . .This parasitic fungus grows out of the soil around autumn, alerting watchful fungi lovers to the presence of hidden E. granulatus."
The Boston Globe for May 26 usually reports races in the Sports section, but reported a Dictyostelium race in the Metro section, wherein it described "the World Dicty Race," which took place on microscope slides and was won by a Dutch team. Surely you recall previous posts on traveling slime molds. And, finally for May, I cite THE WEEK for May 30 , wherein we learn that "Coffee-leaf rust, or roya, has spread across Latin America's coffee fields, causing a 20% drop in exports since October and threatening up to 500,000 jobs in the coffee growing and exporting industries."
The Scientist for June explains why hot humid weather can result in the production of barley contaminated with Fusarium graminearum, which in turn may result in the production of beer containing barf-inducing mycotoxins. And, it is pointed out in another article that wheat, which is also attacked by F. graminearum, has Ug99 as its most serious pathogen. (We know Ug99 as a strain of Puccinia graminis.). A third article presents a nicely illustrated page describing "a sampling of the most devastating crop pathogens."
On June 10, the Wayland Town Crier describes a mushroom walk organized by Wayland Walks and featuring our own Larry Millman and his mycological wisdom. And on 7 June, NS describes the 20-year effort trying to save the American chestnut from extinction by Cryphonectria parasitica by genetically modifying trees. In the same issue, a column makes note of a notice the magazine received from the American Society for Microbiology headed "Bacteria and Fungi from 1500-Year-Old Feces Support Archeological Theories of Caribbean Cultures." In the next (14 June) issue, a reader expands on this theme, noting that "Fungi are much maligned but live contentedly in our colon, mostly chewing on the carbohydrates passing through," and in the next issue, coverage of the human fungal complement is extended by a discussion of
#104 TMC October 2014 Page 02 Copyrighted Material
dandruff. Dandruff appears where there are sebaceous glands which "secrete sebum, which lubricates and waterproofs the skin, but also feeds the fungus Malassezia globosa. During a dandruff episode, the population of this fungus can double. It metabolizes triglycerides in sebum. Oleic acid is produced as a by-product and penetrates the topmost layer of the skin. This triggers an inflammatory response in susceptible people, increasing the number of cells that are shed."
In its July issue, The Scientist reports on the atypicality of Cryptococcus neoformans sex. Apparently it is largely homosexual, since one of the mating types occurs in only 0.1% of the population, and two members of the other mating type can mate with each other to produce offspring. You think that's weird? In Science for 4 July, we learn of apparently successful treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome with psilocybin and, in another article (of course) discovery of a "latent capacity for fungal-algal mutualism" which "establishes a set of experimentally tractable, phylogenetically related, synthetic systems for studying the evolution of symbiosis."
Back to NS, in whose July 12 issue we learn of how vaccination of frogs with dead Batrochochytrium dendrobatidis protects them from subsequent infection by the live chytrid fungus and, in another article, a possible explanation for the effect of psilocybin reported in the previous paragraph. The activity pattern following administration of the drug "is similar to that seen when someone is dreaming." (The latter is also noted in THE WEEK for July 25 wherein we also encounter a recipe using red pine mushrooms that had been pickled with caraway seed.) And in NS for 19 July, we discover that one of the problems encountered in growing edible seaweed by aquaculture is that "algae and fungi can form a thick layer on the blades and block sunlight."
Red fescue, a grass that grows worldwide is infested with "fungi that make a toxin called ergovaline" according to an article in NS for 26 July, but the article goes on to explain that reindeer or moose saliva deactivates the poison.
Which brings us to Sierra magazine for July/August, which, under the heading: "The Next Big Thing in the future, will mushrooms solve all our problems?" discusses a fungal substitute for styrofoam packaging, the important role played by ectomycorrhizal and ericoid mycorrhizal fungi in storing carbon, and the use of mycoremediation to break down oil and pesticides in waste water.
Harper's Magazine for August, in an article on the end of retirement tells of a man who "had worked at a hot spring in Tonopah, Arizona, to supplement his monthly $590 Social Security check and was planning to join friends in the Pacific Northwest picking morel mushrooms, which he heard fetched ten dollars an ounce," while Scientific American for August tells us that a photograph submitted as a puzzle in a previous issue is probably a shot of a Penicillium mycelium on bread, while elsewhere in the issue Michael Shermer's column refers to a Scheme to save humanity "by the creation in 2090 of a lichenized fungus that consumes atmospheric carbon dioxide.
The amazing slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum even farms bacteria according to an interview with Joan Strassmann printed in the September-October issue of American Scientist . Farmer clones carry around bacteria for subsequent digestion, along with "other bacteria, which they use to defend and privatize their food bacteria." In the same issue is a review of a book on the science of cheese, a review which you might think would tell a bit about the fungi which help make cheeses, but whose only fungal reference is a note that "1-octen-3-ol and 1-octen-3-one provide the mushroom aroma of surface mold cheeses."

Mushroom Spore Print sample For #104 TMC October 2014 "THE MUSHROOM CULTURE" Macrocybe titan EDIBILITY – Edible. FMRC's Catalog Number ………………………#SO3999
Macrocybe titan information
Probably the largest growing mushroom in North America. A 20 kilo specimen was found in Mexico. Caps can be larger than 3 feet across. If grown in a canning jar (I suggest sterile barley), do not expect really large specimens as the jar will not be big enough to grow enough mycelium to build a really large one. For large results a good straw bed outside will be needed. This mushroom also seems to stay free of any bacterial and insect attack. It also seems connected to the collapse of ant beds. It is found in grassy areas. Anyone who would like to order a Mushroom Spore Print Sample (Plus or Minus 10,000 spores) of this mushroom……Write out the species name, give the FMRC Catalog number

Use of spawn run in different substrates for production of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)
Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture
Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) is an attractive crop in Sri Lanka, as it enables to acquire substrate materials at low prices to conserve our environment by recycling wastes. Successful mushroom cultivation depends on reliable spawn and good substrate. Therefore, this experiment was carried out to find out the possibility of using the grower produce spawn run as the initial planting material and to identify the suitable substrate for production of oyster mushroom for the new method. The experiment was conducted for two seasons in the mushroom unit, University Experimental Station, Dodangolla. 5 g of spawn of oyster mushroom for treatments 1 and 3, and 10 g of spawn run for treatments 2 and 4 were used as the planting material. The saw dust substrate for treatments 1 and 2 and the paddy substrate for treatments 3 and 4 were used in polypropylene bags. There was no significant difference observed among treatments on spawn runing and pin head formation. A significant difference was observed between the two substrates used in this experiment for the time taken for the first harvest and the total harvest. This study revealed that spawn and spawn run can be use as a planting material and they have no significant impact on duration of spawn runing and pin head formation. In contrast the paddy straw was a better substrate compared to saw dust, which had a great impact on growth and gave the first harvest within 29-30 days. The total harvest was also significantly higher in paddy straw substrate compared to saw dust. Since there was no significant yield difference between the spawn and spawn run treatments the growers will be able to save a rupee from each bag.
Key words: spawn, spawn run, saw dust, paddy straw

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) is an attractive crop in Sri Lanka, as it enables to acquire substrate materials at low prices to conserve our environment by recycling wastes. Therefore, it is a commercially important, predominantly grown edible mushroom variety which widely practices in small-scale cultivation as a self-employment and a profitable agribusiness in Sri Lanka. Pleurotus is an efficient lignin degrading mushroom and can grow and yield well on different types of lignocellulolosic materials. Cultivation of oyster mushroom is very simple and has various advantages such as, it requires low space; low investment cost; easy to propagate; could take income in a short duration. Successful mushroom cultivation depends on three factors; reliable spawn, good substrate, conducive environment (Islam et al., 2009). Most of the growers in mid country buy the` reliable spawn from Department of Agriculture (DOA), Gannoruwa, Sri Lanka. Kirthisinghe and Amarasekera (2012) found that spawn run could be utilised as a planting material for the growers. Oyster mushroom growers in Sri Lanka use saw dust substrate mixture including rice bran, soya flour, or mung bean flour, CaCO3 and MgSO4. The information on the potential use of other locally available cost effective substrates are scarce (Rajapakse et al., 2007). Therefore, this experiment was carried out to find out the possibility of using the grower produce spawn run as the initial planting material and to identify the suitable cost effective substrate to reduce cost of production of oyster mushroom.
The research was conducted in the mushroom unit, University Experimental Station, Dodangolla, Sri Lanka. The primary inoculum was prepared using fresh fruiting body of the mushroom through tissue culture method and multiplied by sub-culturing on sterilized PDA medium in petri dishes, incubated at 28 ˚C of room temperature. Paddy seeds were washed by teepol and boiled for 20 minutes until 25 percent of paddy seed become split. After cooling, 5 percent CaCO3 and 20 percent CaSO4 powder were mixed with boiled paddy seeds. 30 g of paddy seeds were filled into a polypropylene bag and sterilized for 20

"Peacebuilding" refers to a range of topics, ranging from conflict prevention to post-conflict reconciliation. In this volume a strong cast of Catholic theologians, ethicists, and scholar-practitioners join to examine the challenge of peacebuilding in theory and practice. While many of the essays deal with general themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, interreligious dialogue, and human rights, there are also case studies of peacebuilding in such diverse contexts as Colombia, the Philippines, the Great Lakes region of Africa, Indonesia, and South Africa. This volume will be of interest to all scholars engaged in developing a theology and ethic of just peace, as well as students seeking to understand the interaction between theology, ethics, and lived Christianity.

On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Windsor struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) as unconstitutional, allowing for the recognition of same-sex marriages and making way for same-sex married couples to receive benefits under federal law. Two days later, the first gay married couple received notice that their marriage-based green card case had been approved. Without delay, the Obama administration sent a clear message that same-sex couples are now eligible to apply for immigration benefits as married heterosexual couples are permitted to.
While the DOMA overruling raises complex questions for employers with regard to benefit plan administration and FMLA benefits, the implementation of the game-changing decision is clear in the federal immigration context. (Read Proskauer's related client alerts regarding the impact of the Windsor decision on employer-sponsored benefit plans and FMLA Rights.) In a FAQ issued by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, DHS affirmed that U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents could file I-130 relative petitions for their same-sex spouse. In addition, the FAQ directly addressed the issue that, even if the couple resides in a state that does not recognize same-sex marriages, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (UCSIS) generally will look to the "place of celebration" for the marriage law when determining whether the marriage is valid for immigration law purposes.
The Windsor decision has been celebrated widely for its immediate impact of allowing same-sex foreign nationals to apply for lawful permanent residence in the United States (green card). Equally as significant, although it has received less attention, a same-sex spouse who is married to a non-immigrant professional working in the U.S. now will be allowed to apply for a dependent visa to the United States. For example, the spouse of an H-1B professional or an L-1 transferee will now be eligible for an H-4 or L-2 spousal visa respectively. Up until the Windsor decision, same-sex spouses were only eligible to apply for a B-2 visitor visa, which in part is designated for cohabitating partners and household family members.
As of August 1, 2013, same-sex couples will have the right to marry in 13 states and the District of Columbia. There also are about 15 countries that provide full marriage equality. The Windsor decision is a game changer for binational couples and an immigration milestone. At Proskauer, we already are working actively on immigration applications for married same-sex couples.

Power Losses in Deformed Polymer Optical Fiber Under High Temperature
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 24, Issue 12, pp. 4983-4990 (2006)
Acrobat PDF (348 KB)
This paper investigates the power losses incurred in polymer optical fibers (POFs) deformed with different bend radii of curvature and elongation ratios under high-temperature conditions. A simple tensile test is conducted to calculate the average plastic-energy density (APED) in the deformed POFs. The APED provides a key index for evaluating the power loss in deformed POFs under high temperature. Based on the experimental results, a curve-fitted equation is derived to estimate the power loss in a POF for a given set of deformation and temperature conditions. The difference between the estimated results and the experimental results is found to be less than 6%.

What transistors do you recommend for a good LTP input?
NPN or PNP doesn't matter.
What transistors would you recommend for a LTP Differential stage? Have to be: High voltage (160V or more) Low Noise Good Frequency response. *Would it be overkill or non sensible to use high voltage TO-220 Packaged transistors (MJE15034/5 etc) as the LTP in an amp? |

160volts ? Are you kidding ?
And yes, mje1503x in LTP would be "nuts". Try mpsa42/92, it has rating of 300volts. Some also use mje340/350. Otherwise try cascoding, this makes more sense as you can choose any highqualitytransistor for amplification, and only need HV-Bjt for cascodes. Mike |

I have had 2SC2547 and 2SA1085 from Renesas recommended to me as excellent low noise high voltage transistors for LTP use. However, they are a bit hard to come by and a fair bit more expensive than MPSA42/92's. Dr Leach also seems to recommend MPS8099/8599's
I would recommend using a cascode as MikeB suggests, and using BC550C/560C's. |

I figured 160V because incase I built an amp that has 70 or 80V rails. I imagine the voltage of the transistors in the LTP have to be as high as the output, or at least the PSU voltage, right? As far as cascoding goes, how would you bias it to where the transistors 50/50 share the voltage? (I'm also gonna search) |

In normal circumstances the input stage only has to withstand the voltage of one supply rail plus half of the amplitude of the maximum input signal
In faulty circumstances like a open base connection, input connector transients when signal makes contact before ground does, shorted output devices causing severe output DC, etc..., the LTP transistrors may get exposed to the full rail to rail voltage. They can be easily protected by creating +-15V zener+resistor references and clamping the LTP bases to these references with small signal diodes [ie: 1N4148] Then you can cascode a 45V device like BC550C/BC560C at 30V leaving 15V of margin in case the 15V clamps have to do their job As a cascode device you may use something like BC546B/BC556B that are still small signal devices and are rated at 65V, so maximum supply rails are +-95V For higher rails an alternative is 2N5401/2N5551 that feature high Ft and are rated at 150V. These may be also used as LTP devices directly without cascode There are also a lot of good small signal high voltage transistors with excelent specs from Toshiba and Sanyo, but these are pretty hard to find I don't recommend MPSA42/92 for an input stage since they suffer from low Ft thus reducing phase margin, and low gain thus causing large input offset voltages |

2SC2240 2SA970 are good ones. Google for "small signal transistor" I guess. Also you might want to search this forum for "new law".

I agree with Eva. In 99% of the lifetime the input LTP can see only the half of the rail to rail voltage. In case of failure, You have to plan some "budget", say 20-25%. So I recommend to use 90-100V transistors for LTPs.

Those are just what I'm looking for, and also a good reference to whoever else sees this thread with the same question. Those transistors will be suitable, and have plenty of overhead to not have to worry about breakdown voltage when designing or prototyping different amps. I'll be ordering some 2N5401/2N5551 from Onsemi. |

By using Spokeo you can find out if your significant other is cheating on you using a number of different routes. Public profiles on social networking and dating sites are searchable through an email address or a username. Spokeo has the ability to use location-based social networks to track their past and present location with a time reference for all of their whereabouts.
The fact of the matter is, if you think your partner is cheating, they probably are, and there are many other ways to find out. The first way might be to ask them directly.
It is very easy to find a wealth of information about anyone and everyone because of the new social networking programs prevalent in our daily lives. These applications ultimately display your life to the world. The ironic part is that you don't realize you are providing information for these people search programs to use.
Because people search technology sites also use public records from recorders' offices throughout cities, counties and states, they have easy access to personal information. These records are available to everyone, so it is practically impossible to protect your information.

Spokeo does NOT value their customers.
I was an early subscriber to Spokeo. I very rarely used their service, but maintained my subscription for the occasional use and because they didn't offer my package anymore.
I've had my subscription package since Jan 24, 2012 and it would auto renew each year. This year, 2015, I never received my auto renewal email from Spokeo, so I contacted their customer service to inquire why I hadn't received the renewal update. When the customer service representative got on the phone I explained that I might need to update my credit card info, since my bank issued me a new card. The customer service representative told me Spokeo is not able to update any existing customers credit card info and that they are instructing existing customers to sign up for new accounts.
I explained that I was a long term customer under an older plan that they don't offer anymore and that I want to maintain that plan. She again stated they do not have the "ability" to update card info and that I'd need to sign up for a new, more expensive plan. I asked to speak to a supervisor, because this had to be a mistake or a scam.
A supervisor, RJ, got on the phone and stated they do not have the "ability" to update existing customers card info and that I'd need to sign up for a new, more expensive plan. I explained that they obviously had the "ability" since they are a technology based, online company that takes credit card information all the time. I told him this sounded like a ploy/scam to get older, loyal customers out of their old plans and into new, more expensive plans. He then stated it was Spokeo policy to not update existing customers credit card information, but to instruct them to sign up for new accounts, under current, more expensive plans/rates. Basically, he confirmed that the company does not value their early, long term customers and they resort to shady practices to get them to sign up for new, more expensive plans.
The reality is I hardly ever used the service, but simply maintained my subscription for the occasional use and because I was under an older plan that wasn't offered anymore to new subscribers. Part of the reason I rarely used the service was due to the fact that it was rarely useful or accurate. The information was usually very limited and outdated.
Based on the low quality of service (limited and outdated information) and the company's questionable business practices of forcing loyal, long term customers out of their plans and into newer, more expensive plans, I can not support or recommend this company. Simply do a search on Spokeo reviews and you will find a lot of negative reviews regarding their service and business and billing practices.
With that batting average, their current prices (and business practices) make their service a complete waste of money. Save yourself some money and do a basic internet or white pages search on your own. If you do decide to pay for a search service, use a different company who values their relationships with their customers.
Technically, Spokeo does have the billing terms on their site, but they are made to be quite vague.
I thought I was agreeing to paying $3.95, and if I stayed on, an additional $24.xx for 6 mo.
While this info is there, I shop and work online daily. There is a standard way I expect billing to work. I expect a grand total going on my card. They know this, they also know their service isn't worth it, so they deceptively charge you the entire amount.
Why not be honest and tell me the total? Don't think I would press the Pay and Continue button? YOU ARE RIGHT SPOKEO! I wouldn't.
I called to have my subscription canceled, which they did, but now I have to wait days to get my money back.
AND they claimed to have several hits on an email address, when I got there...NOTHING! Not one thing!
It also failed to find anything on my address, even though I have a big presence online.
So even if you want to put the blame entirely in my hands for not reading the payment info, yes, I agree. I didn't read closely.
However, if this was a standard practice on the internet, I can tell you for sure, that there would be no internet shopping. People would not put up with this from Amazon, Ebay, or any other reputable site.
Where's The People
A new service full of promises and very little delivery. The concept is great. The first 5 search results turned out to be obsolete information. A dead end trail.
i tried it and theyntry to stiff ya for like 30 bucks every month even when it suck they will take it automatically from your card my suggestion don't do it
They said they had everything, but when I paid, they had nothing
yep they have nothing and they try to get you to pay extra
what a disappointment
After hearing great things about this site from a friend who OBVIOUSLY had never used it, I signed up for the three month trial period. Then, I tried researching four names of people that I know well including myself. It is actually NOT as valuable as a google search and was NOT accurate. The search told me how many people lived in our house (WRONG), where we had lived previously (WRONG) and did not give the correct social media sites AND gave NO other information. A similar situation occurred with the other folks I researched. So, if you are concerned that people can use this site to find out lots of stuff about YOU, rest easy; it is useless. If you think YOU can use this site to find out lots of stuff about people, forget it. And you do have to sign that you won't use this site for any of a number of business reasons (I guess they know how inadequate they are and that is their protection).
But I did not have any trouble canceling (after I paid for the three month trial) which is what some reviewers complained about. so, the lesson learned is don't use spokeo and don't listen to the recommendations of friends who have not personally used the product they recommend so highly. don't BE one of those recommenders either!
Don't Waste Your Time or Money
This site is terrible. I signed up for the 3 month subscription, and only after I performed a few searches was I informed of the "monthly quota." I was attempting to search for people for my high school reunion, so I needed more than the few searches allotted, and nowhere are you told before signing up that there is a limit.
When I spoke to customer service, they sent me through the generic support cycle, and kept indirectly blaming me for not understanding the services correctly (much like their comments on other posts here). "I'm sorry you don't understand the terms" is not an appropriate response to a customer complaint. It's patronizing and offensive.
If you were a reputable company, you would clearly place your terms upfront, to allow people to choose whether your service is right for them or not. Get it together, Spokeo.
Me too, WASTE OF MONEY, HOW CAN THEY STAY IN BUSINESS, THE INFO THEY PROVIDE, YOU CAN GIND ON GOOGLE...MOST OF THE TIME THE INFO IS OUTDATED, WHEN I SEARCHED FOR MYSELF,IT WAS RIDICULIOUS ...VERY OUTDATED REPORT
Claimed to have the info I was looking for. Paid the fee and got absolutely no results. All categories listed as "unknown". Site says refund if no results but not how to apply. These people are no better than email phishing scammers and I'm an idiot for not checking their reviews before donating my cash to these crooks.
They don't even have my name correct!
Someone showed me this site and frightened me into thinking my identity had been stolen. It listed my name, my dead brother and my dad's name spelled incorrectly. My mom wasn't mentioned. When I thought I would subscribe it said a different first name for me! Very scary. Would not taKE PAYPAL and I am glad because I went back and read the reviews. This company would give you paranoid thoughts if you believe it!!!!
No relevant information, deceptive practices. Billed after cancellation of spokeo, they say its for something else. I have no idea what I signed up for. Not worth it!
its a huge ripoff. I just used it a few days ago and there was nothing in the report.everything was "unknown". When I complained I was told, "sorry", that I could keep searching that number since I paid for it in case there may be some future updates on it. They should be legally punished and forced to give people back their money. Before you pay they will tell you a match has been found. The only match will be the phone number you typed in the first place.
Rip off
Not one search was correct... asked for money back because not as advertized... said soory to see you go...but they will keep the account open and no rebill me... I want my money back from these rip off artist...
Waste of time.
My deceased father and I have the same name. I am jr. Coincedently, my mother and wife also have the same name. The results were quite humerous. They had my father's would be age if he were still alive, my mother at her address of 25 years ago with my wife's age and my mother and I living on vacant land in upstate NY I sold in 2008. Where is the info on our dog?
Deceptive & misleading practices
Spokeo advertises based on banners and search results indicating that they can provide information on the person searched. In order to access the additional information your must purchase the membership which in their own language (see "Terms") "...more often than not, does not reveal any additional information." Their "guaranty" is a lie. Their response to cancellation and demand from refund is met with a litany of legal doublespeak and basically rendering the point of their entire "service" to be moot. They offered a "partial refund" on a take-it-or-leave it ("...your case is now closed.") position. They also have a click through link in the sign up phase that is a redirect to a different company offering credit/identity protection. VERY MISLEADING. Their practices are borderline at best and walk a fine line legally. Avoid this company. They are part of what makes the reputation of internet commerce so untrustworthy and unreliable.
Not up to date info
I look up myself and the info had old phone numbers. apparently their information not so current.
I'm scared they got my credit info
Bad news, very misleading, information u probaly know..sucks....I put my information in and it said I was in a different state....bad waste of money should have known...
Waste, save yoru money!!!
None of the information is correct except the cities I've lived in and my age. I'm requesting a refund but more than likely know I'll have to fight for one.
Total SCAM
I searched several phone numbers that have been owned by myself or people I knew who have had these number for 15+ years and not one came up with accurate information. They claim to have a 100% guarantee, but that guarantee only means they will provide you with some info, not accurate info. Total scam meant to talk you out of your money. I do not recommend.
Very dissapointing
I did the free search on myself and indicated that I had signed up for a dating site (which I had not). I then paid for three months to see what it had "found". Perhaps not surprisingly, it had found virtually nothing and definitely no dating sites. This is definitely a waste of money.
I have been ripped off by this company as well. They are scam artists.Info s totally incorrect on all my searches. Report them report them!!!!
"100% Guarantee" is a LIE!!! hidden "no-refund" policy!!!
I used this service for all of 15 minutes before I realized it was a total rip off. All the information was wrong and the info. on me was completely wrong except for my address, but even that was 2 years old and not my current address! Then they tell me they have a no-refund policy! Huge Scam!! I hope these reviews make a difference because I hate frauds who con people out of their hard earned money get away with it because of a "no refund" policy that is hidden in the terms that no one reads anyway! All i know is that i read the "100% Guarantee. If we don't have results for this search we will gladly issue a refund." note on the payment page and felt safe buying this service. Then only to find out that it is just posted there to trick you into their SCAM!!!

The hartal will be from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 12.
Protesting the alleged neglect shown towards Alappuzha by Finance Minister K.M. Mani in the alteration Budget presented on Friday, the Left Democratic Front has called for a hartal in the district on July 12.
The hartal will be from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m..
Earlier, addressing a press conference here on Saturday, T.M. Thomas Isaac and G. Sudhakaran, MLAs, said there was a blanket cancellation by Mr. Mani of all developmental projects that were announced by Dr. Isaac in his Budget earlier this year.
Alleging that this smacked of an attempt at revenge on the people of Alappuzha, who had leaned heavily to the Left during the recent Assembly elections, Dr. Isaac and Mr. Sudhakaran said it was unfortunate that Union Minister of State for Power K.C. Venugopal and other Congress leaders from the district were keeping quiet on the issue.
Pointing out that the Alappuzha Special Health Package, on which Chief Minister Oommen Chandy had convened two meetings here recently, was not even mentioned by Mr. Mani, Mr. Sudhakaran said there was no money set aside for sea wall construction, which was promised after last month's widespread monsoon damage along the district coast.
The neglect, according to Dr. Isaac, included cancellation of the Rs.40-crore Pallathuruthy-Aryad bypass; Rs.10 crore for the Tourism Master Plan; Rs. 5 crore for cleaning of Kappithode; Rs.9 crore for cleaning and de-silting of Alappuzha's canals and Rs.10 crore for the bridge to the Nehru Trophy Ward, all of which were included in the supplementary demands for grants by Dr. Isaac.
The second phase of the Alappuzha municipal stadium, the marina-cum-cargo port project and the spices route project too were not mentioned by Mr. Mani, while the Rs.33-crore non-beta lactum factory of KSDP; the Rs.40-crore hosiery factory at the Komalapuram spinning and weaving mill; modernisation of Autokast, Cherthala; and the Rs.3-crore sanctioned for the Kayamkulam spinning mill too were forgotten.
Financial assistance provided by Dr. Isaac to the Gandhi Smaraka Grama Seva Kendra; the Kalavoor Gopinath Volleyball Academy; the T.V. Thomas Memorial Cooperative Hospital; the District Medical Bank; coastal police stations at Punnapra and Arthunkal; the Punnapra fishing harbour and the Aroor waste treatment plant too were cancelled, Dr. Isaac said.
He demanded that Mr. Mani clarify to the public whether the public should believe his budget speech or the medium term fiscal policy strategy statement, since many promises made in the speech were found missing in the statement. Mr. Mani should also show the courage to publish the financial white paper he had promised, he said.
The LDF district committee, which met later here, said the Budget was not at all development-oriented and one that threatened to derail all the development that was brought to the district and to the State in general by the V.S. Achuthanandan government. The hartal on July 12 would include protest marches across the district.

Donald Lutz became the first "German developed" player to play in the bigs last night
Apr 30, 2013, 5:43 PM EDT
The quotes and odd phraseology are required because Lutz, who pinch hit in last night's Reds game, was born in New York. But he moved to Germany when he was a baby and came up playing baseball over there. Past players who grew up in Germany were kids of U.S. military members stationed there. Lutz wasn't.
Lutz eventually became a product of the Major League Baseball International European Academy, out of which the Reds signed him in 2006. Before last night he hadn't played above Double-A. Now he's best known for, maybe, being the first of many ballplayers to come from Germany. At least in a sense.

I need to say some things about nintendo. first, the argument about the "kiddy" games.
there are "gamers" who think Nintendo games are kiddy. like, what the heck? they are not kiddy. they are family friendly games. safe for kids to play, but adults like me can play it too. without these kind of games, kids can't find enjoyment, so what are they supposed to play? And don't you dare give me that "minecraft" "ipad games" or even "FPS" games because that is total bulldust. and you know what's funny? those gamers who hate on "kiddy" games probably also drool over my little pony and Frozen as the best things ever. (I don't have a problem with my little pony or Frozen, so calm down) and let me ask you. Have you EVER played any of these games? Because when I played them I see horrific things in them, so kiddy games, my butt. to those people who hate on nintendo games while also loving my little pony and frozen, stop keep telling them to make mature games, it's hypocritical behaviour.
Also, Zelda wii u getting delayed.
I am proud of Nintendo for doing this, but they can't win with you guys, they're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't. what would you rather have? a game getting delayed so it will be the ultimate and complete version and don't need a patch almost every time, like Super smash bros games, or a game delivered on time and turned out to be broken and unfinished, like assassin's creed unity? I'd rather have it delayed so it can be almost flawless or even flawless. if it finally did get released and it's still bad, then you can complain, but until then, let nintendo delay it until it's ready, let them fix all bugs and make it complete, OK? Don't pressure them, it's stupid. look at uncharted for the PS4. even though I hate the series along with the last of us, I still think Sony made a good move do delay it so it can be good for people who love it.
I am getting fed up of everyone waving their anti-nintendo flags in the industry now. Everyone is becoming bitter! Everyone! it's all "Why is nintendo releasing a rehash? make new IPs" "Nintendo, why are you not making new games for old IPs?" "the Wii U will be dead by 2016 when NX comes out" "Nintendo delayed a game, that is bad!" "Nintendo should go third party" "Nintendo is gonna ruin Bayonetta in Bayonetta 2!" What is going on?! I feel like I am in the twilight zone now where games are for adults only, where horrible gamers want to be the face of gaming and where FPS flow the market! Just have fun and shut up! oh my god.

Jerome Schwartz draws on both sides of the historical/formalist debate in this new reading of the four authentic books of Rabelais''s Gargantua and Pantagruel. |
From the Publisher:
Over the past two decades since the appearance in the West of Mikhail Bakhtin's study of Rabelais and popular culture, Rabelais's work has been a focus of debate in contemporary literary and cultural criticism. The subjects under discussion include questions of fixed authorial meaning and intention versus open and changing readings, and the competing claims of literary history as traditionally practised versus dialectical criticism, according to which criticism itself is not outside ideology and history. Jerome Schwartz's book attempts to straddle both tendencies. Schwartz reads the four authentic books of Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel as polyvalent texts in which ironic, parodic and satiric discourses continually intersect to prevent the univocal closure of ideological meaning. His book is about the way in which the Rabelaisian text functions as an interdiscursive play of elements that both encode meanings and subvert the reader's attempts at coherent interpretation. In close textual analyses of major episodes, examination in context of semantic, syntactic and narrative elements, including quotations and references that undermine the apparent ideological objective at the surface of the text, Schwartz reveals 'loopholes' in the text, spaces of social and political conflict and deviance that are woven into its humanist, evangelical structures. |

Igniting the fire
He never told me about that train ride across Russia, my father. I didn't even know about it until I found mother's diary hidden away in the closet, and by then it was too late to ask. As a child, I always wanted to know things about him, and he would always take the time to tell me stories from his life, like little lullabies whenever I couldn't sleep at night.
There were sparks there, unspoken subtleties and traces of a broken man. I didn't see them back then of course, but years later they helped me puzzle the pieces together to understand him a little better. What worries me is the gaps, the elements he left out, and the more I think of it the more I worry. Why didn't he tell me, why could I never know what finally pushed him over that edge?
Chloe is consumed by the little mysteries, she knew my father too and wants to help me understand. She's promised me to find the lady in black, no matter what secrets it might uncover. When S came back on Wednesday she had other stories to tell, equally fascinating to a dreamer like Chloe. I won't share them just now, but I can tell you that after watching the Godfather triolgy last night we felt that even the greatest sagas sometimes just can't measure up to the absurdities of real life.
Lady in black,
