Thursday, February 14, 2013
My friend and fellow Summerville Writers Guild member Dena Phillips recently sent me an insightful and charming email about the apron. I'm sure this bit of apron history intrigued her because she writes insightful and charming stories about growing up in her family of sisters.
Her missive couldn't have come at a better time for me as I was just bemoaning the fact that I seem to have more aprons than the clothes that go under them. That's because, frankly I'm an absentminded klutz who spills a lot and tends to wipe her hands on whatever she's wearing. That pondering led me to wonder why chefs often don identically styled white cover ups. If I were a chef, I'd surely need a daily dozen of those starched, heavy cotton jackets with long sleeves and knotted buttons. But why white of all things, seemingly the easiest color to soil?
Turns out there are reasons. First the heavy cotton helps insulate from hot places like ovens and stovetops and is a breathable material that lets body heat escape. Long sleeves protect arms reaching across burners or into ovens. Cotton absorbs liquids. Jackets with those knotted buttons can be stripped off more easily during a hot oil spill and they don't melt or crumble, dropping bits and pieces into food. And after all, bleach cures most white woes.
There are many types of aprons, including cobbler and smock which pretty much envelope you – the best option for yours truly – and a similar kind known in England as the "pinny," short for the basic design of a pinafore. In 1950s television, you hardly ever saw the perfect wife portrayed without an apron. Today's aprons are more stylish, but I still don't see them much on TV. Come to think of it I also don't see them much on my daughters or daughter-in-law, or on my son or sons-in law – who also cook. They obviously are more nimble in evading stains than the matriarch of my kitchen. But apron history goes back even farther than the 1950s or even into my grandmother's day. Some researchers cite the Bible, referencing a passage in which Adam and Eve sewed together fig leaves to make aprons to cover themselves.
Into this forum comes Dena's apron history email. Acknowledging the apron was a protection in grandma's day, it was also used for a variety of caring things, such as drying children's tears as well as cleaning out their ears They carried eggs from the henhouse as well as wood chips from the yard, plus fruits and vegetables from the garden. Aprons served as a last minute duster when unexpected company came and as a signal used by grandma waving it overhead to call men folk to dinner from the farm fields. Today's government, it notes, would go crazy trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. The email ends with this nostalgia, "I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron but love."
Come to think of it for most of us in my age bracket, i.e., drifting along somewhere between our sixth and eight decades, there are a lot of apron memories of our own mothers and grandmothers. And thanks to Dena's sharing, we can smile a little at the history of what we are doing every time we put one on.

A Johnsonville woman has been arrested and a Georgetown man is being sought in connection with a theft investigation. Lauren Poston, 26, was arrested Tuesday afternoon. She is charged with two counts of Unlawful Transportation of Stolen Metal and two counts of Receiving Stolen Goods. Police are looking for Rocky Altman, 32, of Bay Street.
According to a police report, a worker at R&R Metals reported a man brought in two rolls of copper wire Feb. 5 that he believed belonged to the city.
A city electric worker said he believes the wire was taken from a city truck when it was parked at the intersection of Church and Congdon Streets Feb. 4.
The R&R worker said he could not identify the person who brought the wire to the business. However, Police Investigator Jason Ward says the investigation revealed Altman as the suspect. It was also determined Poston was involved.
Anyone with information on Altmans whereabouts should call police at 545-4300.

Perrysburg series hosts local and out-of-state bandsWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs for a comfy concert in the grass of Commodore Park in Perrysburg.
The Music At the Market series, in its current outdoors form, has been happening for five years, Main Art-ery Coordinator Robin Ballmer said, while a concert series has been set each summer for 20. The Perrysburg Convention and Visitors Bureau contacted Main Art-ery to organize the event. This is the first year the Perrysburg Area Arts Council is not organizing the concert series since disbanding in January.
Ballmer said the importance of the event is clear. When there's music playing, there are more people in downtown Perrysburg.
"[The Perrysburg Convention and Visitors Bureau] understands the economic impact of people coming to Perrysburg," she said.
The series will begin June 6 and follows every Thursday of the summer (excluding July 4). This year, there will be 12 shows instead of nine.
Ballmer said they choose the bands for each week with care.
"We want quality music and we want to work with bands that have a professional approach with what we do," she said. "We really appreciate getting the sponsorship … so we want to make sure that we're very careful [and] we book bands that … will be a quality sound and bring a broad audience."
This year, the series will include a few acts from Perrysburg that Ballmer did not intentionally seek out.
"Perrysburg is loaded with musicians," she said.
Nine Lives drummer Michael Toth said he enjoys being part of the series because three of the band's five members are from Perrysburg.
"It's a great way to play a show so close to home that our friends and family can attend," Toth said.
Nine Lives will perform on the final date of the series. Another local band, Venyx, will perform July 11.
Jessica Stewart of Venyx said the concert series brings "family-friendly, culture-rich events to the Perrysburg community."
"We are looking forward to being a part of the fantastic summer entertainment lineup," she said.
There is even a plan for rain, in which case concerts will be at the Judy Beck Auditorium in the Commodore Building on East Indiana Avenue.
West Central Quartet, from Fort Wayne, Ind., will open the series June 6. The band is known for easy listening tunes, traditional jazz and contemporary pop songs.
It will be the first time the band will perform in Perrysburg.
Local band The Gazebo performs an "eccentric yet palatable show" on June 13, according to a news release.
"We have our eye on diversity and we like to keep a nice mix for a mix of audiences," Ballmer said.
The schedule of bands is:
- June 6: West Central Quartet
- June 13: The Gazebo
- June 20: The Bridges
- June 27: Hepcat Revival
- July 11: Venyx
- July 18: 6th Edition
- July 25: Luke James and the Thieves
- Aug. 1: Cottonwood Jam String Band
- Aug. 8: The Home Wreckers
- Aug. 15: The Nu-Tones
- Aug. 22: Suburban Legend
- Aug. 29: Nine Lives

Questions and problems I have been struggling with for years....
Hi guys,
I have certain spiritual problems which have been ruining my christian life for years and there is no hope in sight. I have listened to probably thousands of sermons and teachings from different christian pastor and backgrounds, unable to ever get anywhere. Other christians do not seem to have these problems, they seem to be more confident and also less doubtful of themselves. I will just state them here in a short manner. Maybe somebody here has an answer. I have been trying to find answers ever since.
1) How do you determine biblical truth? Do you ever come to a point where you can really say that you are absolutely confident that you truly understand what the bible says regarding important topics such as:
God's will to heal
Works vs. grace
Speaking in tongues being biblical or not
I am simply unable to decide what is right. Some christians say this and others say that.
Only recently I heard a sermon from a jewish christian who said something which would never even have come to my mind. He said when Jesus exhaled on the disciples after the resurrection they did not get the Holy Spirit in a sense of the Holy Spirit living in them but they only got an Old Testament kind of anointing which enabled them to understand Jesus' teachings.
I cannot say if this is right, but I would never even have come to this conclusion.
I am no scholar! How shall I, even if I think the bible says A, ever be sure that I am not missing something and that the bible actually says B?
How shall I ever trust that I understand the bible?
This brings me to my next huge problem:
2) If I cannot be sure that I really understand the bible correctly then how in the world shall I pray with faith knowing that God will answer me? What if I think the bible promises something like tongues and pray for it and expect it but it doesn't work and then I won't even know why. Wether I did not have enough faith OR maybe because it is not even biblical!
Another really huge problem I struggle with is faith.
3) If God can only answer my prayer if I have enough faith and waver not, then how can I have confidence? If the answer depends not on God but on my ability to have faith and to not waver then it is no longer faith in God but faith in my faith!
I can't deal with this kind of pressure. When I know that I must believe and cannot "afford" being weak or being a doubt because then God won't answer me then I feel like I can forget it.
In this moment where getting a prayer answered depends on the believer himself then it doesn't help one bit if God totally wants to answer the prayer. How does this make it easier? Even if I imagine God standing there totally wanting to help me then I am still the weakest link in the chain!
What if I get a fear or a doubt and then everything is ruined? I am so weary and tired of these mental battles. The more faith is required the harder it becomes for me to have faith.
I have struggled with these problems for so long trying to find a solution or a way to deal with the pressure but to no avail. It is like a maze with no way out. For other christians these things do not seem to be a problem. They simply say "just believe" or "don't doubt". They don't even seem to think about these problems or feel any pressure. But how can you not feel pressure when everything depends on you?
Imagine you are sick and you totally need a miracle and you are already scared because of being sick and then you even know that getting healed or not depends on YOUR faith and if you become afraid or doubt that it will work then it's all over. How shall you deal with this insane pressure?
This is like shooting the last penalty in the world cup finals and everything depends on you, or like having to do a surgery on your wife or a family member. How can you not totally start to fall into pieces when you're under such a pressure? How can you stay cool and simply exercise your faith and not be afraid knowing that being afraid would keep you from receiving?
To me this seems impossible.
We know what's right
We'll stand and fight, it's time to rise
Come on and see
The victory before your eyes
James 1:16-17 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights
With God's help...Mens sana in corpore sano
They all read and pray.
If we are simply silly creatures who cannot know what God's will is then the bible failed to show what God's will is for us.
For example does God want children to die young? Does God want mothers to leave their families behind?
All christians speak about a "relationship"´with God. How do you have a relationship with someone you don't see hear or feel? Then I can as well say I have a relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
We know what's right
We'll stand and fight, it's time to rise
Come on and see
The victory before your eyes
It appears you would like to know God's will almost like having a crystal ball to know the future. Sorry, that isn't going to happen. Not even prophets new the future clearly, they spoke about the visions they received from the Lord.
Sorry, if I was unclear, but it appears you misquoted me above, I never stated that you cannot know God's will at all, in fact, Romans 12:1-2, tells us how to test and approve what his will is. However, it requires us to live lives of sacrifice and obedience. Unfortunately, we are fallen creatures and fall short of this most times. Thus, most of the time God's will will be unclear to us.
Romans 12:1-2 (New International Version)
Romans 12
Living Sacrifices
1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
You have a relationship with God based on the promises he has made in Scripture and the revelations of his character. You invest time in that relationship by reading the bible and praying. You worship God alone and in communion with other believers. Yes, at times, you will feel God's presence, at other times, you won't. Even when you don't feel his presence, you KNOW from the Bible, that God is there and that he will meet your needs. There are numerous Bible verses relating this. I know of no such promises that Arnold has made regarding a relationship with him. Do not get caught up in your senses or feelings, get caught up in the promises of the Bible.

Good research, thanks for taking the time to post this.

Regarding your disagreement over my "read and pray" response, you stated that this alone can't be it because there are disagreements among Christians. And I understand your point, however, if you do a search for "basic christian doctrine" or something along those lines, you will see that there are foundamentals that Christians agree on, otherwise they are not Christians. There are of course many secondary issues that Christians are free to disagree upon (and do).
For example, Mormons may refer to themselves as Christians, however, they do not believe in the Trinity and they also believe that the Book of Mormon and other text are just as sacred and relevant as the Bible.
Deuteronomy 12:32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
Revelation 22:19
And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Galatians 1:6-12
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, you need not be confused by their beliefs, because they are outside Christian doctrine. My advice to you would be to research Christian doctrine. Then, we you are confused by preaching/teaching, you can test it against the Scripture you know which defines Christian doctrine.

Now I know some of the fundamental doctrines that most claim as Christian to be contrary to the Bible, which is why I liked your original advice of prayer and bible study.

The Andersons to 3X match red kettle funds raised Dec. 12-14Written by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
UPDATE: Because of the inclement weather on Dec. 14, The Andersons will extend its 3X match pledge through Dec. 24.
Bell ringers with red kettles are a familiar sight around the holidays. Those who give to The Salvation Army of Northwest Ohio can make their dollars stretch even further by making their donation at The Andersons on Dec. 12-14. For every $1 deposited into the kettles at its three Toledo area locations on Dec. 12-14, The Andersons will donate $3 in gift cards to The Salvation Army, up to $150,000.
The three locations are 530 Illinois Ave. in Maumee, 4701 Talmadge Road in Toledo and 7638 Sylvania Ave. in Sylvania. The Andersons is also matching donations at its two Columbus locations.
"We have been blessed this year and want to share our bounty with our neighbors in the Toledo and Columbus communities," said The Andersons CEO Mike Anderson in a news release. "Obviously we cannot make special gifts of this magnitude every year, but when the opportunity presents itself to provide it sure feels good, especially at this time of year."
The matching funds will help The Salvation Army make up for a shortfall in collections since the later-than-usual Thanksgiving has meant fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas to collect the funds needed to meet community needs, according to the release.
"To maximize this opportunity, Red Kettle collections need to reach $50,000 at The Andersons over these three days," said Capt. Kevin Zanders, who serves as area coordinator of The Salvation Army in Northwest Ohio along with his wife, Capt. Tawny Cowen-Zanders, in the release.
Donations raised through The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign, including the matched funds from The Andersons, will be used to help local families in need this holiday season and throughout the year, according to the release. For more information, visit www.salvationarmynwohio.org.

Wind: 6 mph
Beyond harming the country's economy as well as the nation's poorest – specifically hungry children – this week's shutdown of the federal government is a shameful demonstration of partisan politics interfering with our elected officials carrying out their duties.
Apples = The job of Congress to deal with the nation's finances in terms of debt ceilings, budgets, sequesters, creditors and protecting the nation's credit rating.
Oranges = Ideological partisan differences about a piece of legislation – that became law regardless of the shutdown.
Keep in mind that this particular piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), has been appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court where it has been upheld. Keep in mind that Republicans in the House have voted 42 separate times to de-fund or overturn this particular piece of legislation which the Supreme Court has upheld.
It is the law of the land. The way to change it is not by playing chicken with the debt ceiling and the economy – at the expense of hungry children. The way to change it is through the regular legislative process where bills are proposed, discussed, amended and adopted.
It is nothing less than dereliction of duty for House Republicans to shirk their job to the nation and its citizens to make an ideological point that is moot anyway.
It's disgraceful and tyrannical that these ideologues have shut down so many important programs that stand between the nation's poorest citizens and going hungry.

On my interview for an internship, I was asked following question:
On a whiteboard write the simplest algorithm with use of recursion which would take a root of a so called binary tree (so called because it is not strictly speaking binary tree) and make every child in this tree connected with its sibling.
So if I have:
/ \
2 3
/ \ \
4 5 6
/ \
7 8
then the sibling to 2 would be 3, to four five, to five six and to seven eight.
I didn't do this, although I was heading in the right direction. Later (next day) at home I did it, but with the use of a debugger. It took me better part of two hours and 50 lines of code. I personally think that this was very difficult question, almost impossible to do correctly on a whiteboard.
How would you solve it on a whiteboard? How to apprehend this question without using a debugger?

Product Description
This module works by checking submitted comments and stories for words or phrases that are located in three separate spam dictionaries. These dictionaries are classified as Light, Medium and Hard Triggers. If a match is found in one of these dictionaries the story or comment will either be held for moderation or automatically deleted. You will be alerted to stories and comments that need to be moderated when logged in to the Pligg Admin Panel. Users will see an alert message box appear when one of their stories or comments has been held for moderation or deleted. Please read this entire document before setting up the module because it is very important that you understand how this module works.
When adding new words to this module simply enter the word or words and then hit enter to go to the next line. The dictionary will check for upper and lower case variations of words so as an example the spam dictionary word "profane" will still catch the word "PrOfAnE". Also partial words will be found so that the dictionary word "profane" will catch "beforePROFANEafter".
Light Trigger
When you install this module it will automatically use a list of many spam targeted words and phrases as well as profanity. These words are inserted into the first of 3 spam dictionaries stored by the module. The first dictionary is used called the "Light Trigger". The Light Trigger list results in stories being marked as moderated when someone uses a word or phrase that appears in this dictionary. For example if someone uses the word "viagra" which appears in the Light Trigger dictionary that comment or story will automatically be held for moderation. This prevents potential spam and profantiy from appearing publicly on your site. By default this module will install many words into the Light Trigger dictionary to get you started and we urge you to carefully check this default dictionary for any phrases that might conflict with the type of content submitted to your site. You may want to remove some of the default words if you don't care to censor users or some of the topics covered on your site might be included in the list of keywords.
Medium Trigger
The Medium Trigger will cause any stories or comments that match this list to be marked as discarded, resulting on matching submissions being automatically deleted.
Hard Trigger
Anyone who uses a word of phrase that appears on the Hard Trigger list will not only have their comment or story removed, but ALL of their stories and comments will be removed. This would be the same as marking a user as "Killspam" from the admin panel. Not only will it remove their content, but it will randomly change their password, email and immediately log them out. This level of protection is useful if you want to have a zero tolerance policy for specific words or phrases. We highly recommend that you carefully consider whether you want to use this method since it is very powerful and if a legitimate user accidentally uses a phrase from this dictionary it will result in their expulsion from your site.

Hi! My name is Teresa. I'm 25 years old, engaged, and I have 3 children. Ryley is 6, Grace is 4, and Ayden is 18 months. I was induced at 40 weeks with my first because my blood pressure was high and my dr thought it best that I go ahead and deliver. My blood pressure was fairly good during my pregnancy with my second child and I went into labor naturally. When I became pregnant with my third child, I really educated myself on having a healthy pregnancy and a natural child birth. This is something I REALLY wanted. My fiance and I took a lamaze class and wrote a great birthplan. We had issues all pregnancy long. The ultrasound tech found a "spot" on his heart and sent us to a specialist an hour away. The "spot" later dissapeared and we had no further issue with that. We did find out that my fluid was low while at the specialist. So, we had to drive back to the specialist a few more times to keep an eye on my fluid. At one point, I thought my fluid was leaking (I was only about 22 weeks along), my midwife checked it with a strip in the office and it came out positive...it looked as though my fluid was leaking. I was immediatly sent to the hospital for further testing....lab tests determined that I was NOT leaking fluid. I was so relieved. I went into preterm labor twice which was stopped by a shot that helped relax muscles which in turn relaxed my contracting uterus. Around the 35nd week of pregnancy, we blood pressure REALLY started to spike. My midwife put me on bedrest at 37 weeks and sent me home with a jug for a 24 hr urine catch. Later that same day, I returned to my midwife with a horrible headache and dizziness. My BP was through the roof. She sent me to labor and delivery and informed me that I would likely be induced. I was on hospital bedrest for a week, and evenutally given magnesium sulfate through IV. I still really wanted to have my baby drug free. The mag definelty ruined those plans. It made me feel like CRAP. I was obviously unable to get out of bed to walk or get in the tub to manage the pain. (I meant to mention that they induced me at 38 weeks). I ended up getting the epidural because the pain of the contractions mixed with the mag was unbearable. My entire birthplan was almost completely down the drain. I delivered Ayden vaginally and was able to breastfeed him immediatly after birth which was in our birth plan. All in all, everything was good....I was just let down that I didn't get to labor and deliver naturally.
So, there is a little background. My fiance and I have recently decided to try for baby number 4, the final baby. Last month, we had no luck. This month, I am waiting to test. My period is due tomorrow. I am just wondering if it is at all possible to have a natural drug free labor and delivery? Can I avoid high blood pressure? Do I have to accept the magnesium if my blood pressure spikes again? I just really want to experience this naturally. I don't want to be induced, or have an epidural. I want to be able to get up and move around freely and even have a water birth. Is this possible?
Thank you all for reading. I look forward to your replies!

Push for a Better America held it's monthly meeting last Friday evening and we had a pretty good turnout. We also had some pretty good speakers.
The Republican party vice chair for Southeastern Oklahoma, Pam Pollard, addressed us on issues and efforts to elect conservative candidates.
John Fritz spoke for Markwayne Mullin, conservative candidate for District 2 congressional district. Markwayne couldn't make it down to see us in person this time die to prior campaign commitments. However, he has been here four times in the past year.
Howard Houchen, Choctaw County Native and State Senate Candidate for Oklahoma District 5, addressed us and provided us with reasons to send him to the State House.
I spoke on the need to extend 1/4 cent tax to fund our fire departments. This question will be on the November ballot and I encourage all citizens to vote in favor of it.
Kenneth Blan presented the state question on the November ballot. I encourage you to get a copy of them and make your decisions prior to entering the voting booth.
We were certainly pleased to welcome delegation from the Choctaw County Republicans and Conservative Voters Association. That's the Hugo Tea Party group. I attended their meeting last Thursday and was impressed with their program. They meet on the last Thursday of the month at the Kiamichi Tech Center in Hugo.

Not true. Plenty of people wanted to see Tad die. I've read posts (not on this forum) by people who were so annoyed by Tad's screaming they wanted Cujo to bite his head off.The movie ending didn't bother me at all. It is scientfically impossible for Tad to have lived in the movie, but nobody wants to see a little boy die after practically watching him suffer for an hour IMO. The movie- the latter half of it, anyway- was very intense. Loved the movie and the book.
Plus, there's posters on this forum who think the ending sucked. Did they want Tad to survive? I don't think so. But in these cases, I rather think it's becuase they wanted the film to stay true to SK's nihilistic vision. The movie changed naturalistic intent of the book.

Police: Woman's blood-alcohol content was 0.37 percentSeptember 12,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON — A Readsboro woman is facing criminal charges after police said she assaulted a Vermont State Police trooper who came to check on her welfare Sept. 5 and found she had a blood alcohol content of 0.37 percent.
Jenny Girardi, 37, was arraigned Monday in Bennington criminal court on misdemeanor charges of simple assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. She pleaded innocent to the charges and was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Trooper Lauren Ronan said she went to Girardi's home around 6:45 p.m. Sept. 5 after getting a call from the father of Girardi's 3-year-old daughter. The father said he was concerned about his daughter because when he spoke to
Girardi, she sounded "very intoxicated."
Ronan said when she arrived at Girardi's home, Girardi was "slurring her speech and was not making sense." Ronan said Girardi first told her that her daughter was with Girardi's father but when Ronan asked if she could check the child's room, Girardi "began pulling blankets and sheets off of the bed" and "acted surprised" when the child wasn't there.
During her arraignment, Jeffrey Rubin, the attorney who represented Girardi said that activity may have been "sarcasm" on his client's part.
Ronan said Girardi's boyfriend arrived at the home while she was there and told her that while Girardi drinks alcohol he had never seen her "that bad."
In the affidavit, Ronan said she became concerned that Girardi was going to hurt her (Ronan), herself (Girardi) or her boyfriend, who she was blaming for Ronan's presence.
According to Ronan, Girardi agreed to provide a breath sample but became agitated and assaulted Ronan when Ronan attempted to obtain the breath sample. Girardi also resisted when Ronan attempted to put her into handcuffs, Ronan said.
After Girardi was placed in Ronan's cruiser, she gave the breath sample which tested at 0.37 percent for Girardi's blood alcohol level, more than four an a half times the legal limit of 0.08 percent for driving in Vermont.
From the Vermont State Police barracks in Shaftsbury, Ronan was able to confirm that Girardi's daughter was with Girardi's father.
Rubin didn't deny that Girardi had been drinking but said she had allowed herself to indulge because she "had a rare day off from work" and didn't have her child in her care on that day.
Judge Nancy Corsones, however, expressed strong concerns about the alleged level of intoxication and what it could mean for Girardi and her future appearance in court.
"The ultimate failure to appear is death and we don't want that to happen at all," Corsones said.
Corsones also urged Girardi to "open up her eyes" to the possibility that she had an alcohol problem.

The Green Wave boys opened region play Monday with a 61-38 victory over Colleton County.
The Cougars hit three shots from behind the arc to claim a 15-14 lead at the end of the opening period. Summerville responded by picking up the tempo and took a 28-24 lead into the half.
After that, it was all Green Wave. Summerville outscored the Cougars 33-14 over the next 16 minutes.
We played more aggressive on defense and went up by 15 in the third period, Summerville coach Greg Elliott said. We shot the ball very well and only made two turnovers so that helps.
John Jenkins paced the Wave with a game-high 24 points. Center Christian Kalacanic added 16 points for Summerville, which had a total of seven players score.
Colleton County was led by Rashee Hodges with 16 points and Hank Nichols with 14.
The Green Wave improved to 11-4 on the season with the win. Summerville has its second region contest of the year on Jan. 11 when it travels to Beaufort. The Wave returns home Jan. 15 to host Bluffton.

10 Things Apple Should Fix in the iPhone (Wait-a-Thon!)
If you hadn't noticed, TiPb's theme of the week is currently "Fixing the iPhone". Rene offered you an extremely thoughtful and well-researched look into what the iPhone can learn from the competition. I reviewed a native app that added a much needed 'Today' Screen. And I'm back again giving you 10 Things Apple Should Fix in the iPhone. We don't always crack jokes about Crackberry and mock iClones here do we?
Okay, to provide a quick disclaimer for this list: Understand that I'm completely ignoring the issues that are 'mainstream problems' with the iPhone. I'm not going to go off on the lack of a physical keyboard. I'm not worrying about 3G & GPS. Copy & Paste is a well-known pitfall of the iPhone. Natively saving images, likewise. Removable Battery? Recessed headphone jack? Push E-Mail? MMS? (Wow, that's a lot)
As big a concern those previously mentioned issues are—many of them will likely become a moot point once the 3G iPhone comes out (Now somebody go tell Sprint that). This list suggests minor tweaks and fixes in the iPhone that may have been swept under the rug or just plain old forgotten. But fear not, I will happily remind Apple of the iPhone's shortcomings and offer a solution on how to fix them. As great as the iPhone is, it isn't without its faults.

HTML e-mail, with all of its bells and whistles, is a lot of fluff for a whole lot of nothing. As pretty as it is, none of my HTML E-mails are time-sensitive nor as pertinent as my basic text emails. HTML E-mail is nice to see on desktop with broadband speeds but without the speed, we're stuck with more than just a few seconds of loading time—which isn't as quick and efficient as users prefer.
Plus, not everyone uses HTML E-mail. I've encountered a lot of users who prefer the quick load times of basic e-mail a la Blackberry over the more data intensive, 'prettier' mail. A firmware update that adds a quick switch for HTML viewing in the Settings screen can easily solve this issue. If they add this in 2.0, power users rejoice!
9. Universal Landscape Mode
For beginners to the iPhone, soft keyboard novices, and those who have a tad bit thicker fingers than the rest of us, allowing the use of landscape mode for every native application can alleviate some of their keyboard concerns. I have heard many users wish that the Safari landscape keyboard be included in other applications, namely Mail and Notes.
Many people would use the iPhone, soft keyboard and all, if it actually worked for them. The keyboard in landscape mode offers wider space and more room to operate under—it also utilizes a slick interface that has made the iPhone unique. Apple could potentially score more customers if they gave on-the-fence buyers the peace of mind of a larger keyboard.
8. Formatted Text
Bold, Italicize, Underline, Strikethrough. These are basic concepts of text that the iPhone can surely utilize. Because of the already distant nature of using a device to communicate, unintentionally keeping things vague with basic, regular text is a mistake. Let's face it, things often get lost in digital translation—WE NEED IT DONE NOW reads much more clearly than we need it done now.
Perhaps a small digital button on the iPhone's keyboard can allow users to access such formatted text. It's already tough to convey emotion through technology, with formatted text we can at least try.
7. Embedded Youtube Videos in Safari
When Steve Jobs first announced the iPhone, Apple promised the Web, in all its glory, in your pocket and on your phone. And he was pretty darn close. Safari on the iPhone is the measuring stick for all other mobile devices but I cringe when I see that darn blue-cubed, lego-like question mark. With the web moving to video, and the iPhone being one of the pioneers of true web browsing on a mobile device, it seems like a forgone conclusion that integrated Youtube Videos in Safari will be fixed.
In 2.0, there are reports that this feature has already been implemented. But no, don't get excited, it won't be because the iPhone has flash support but rather a plugin will enable users to open the embedded Youtube clip in the iPhone's native Youtube player. Let's hope so.
6. Calendar Weekly View
This may be just me, but I prefer a Weekly View in calendars because it gives me more detail than both the Month View and the Day View. I find the Month View layout not detailed enough for me on a day-to-day basis, I can only see that on June 18th I have a dot bubbled in but am unsure of what engagement I have. But when I switch the calendar to the Day View, I'm trapped by an hour-by-hour look at life. A Weekly View would be my ideal compromise.
Idea: Utilizing #9 on the list (landscape mode) with the native calendar app on the iPhone—maybe Apple could develop the ability to display a weekly view horizontally. Let me explain, once you open up the Calendar app it'll show you a List/Day/Month View but when you turn it to landscape mode, it'll provide you with a week view. The length of the screen could effectively show your weekly day-to-day engagements and also be a nifty trick to quickly switch views.
5. Photo ID Calling
I absolutely love the concept of Photo ID calling (as introduced to by Dieter) and believe it can be seamlessly implemented into the iPhone. Imagine having your favorite contacts photo ID on your home screen and all you need to do to call them is tap their face. It would only be a matter of flick, flick, tap.
The current process of making calls to your Favorites is difficult because the buttons to access the option are on the bottom of the screen while your Favorites are on the top of the screen. This becomes a nuisance if you use your phone one-handed to make calls because there is unnecessary thumb straining to reach the desired person and sometimes an accidental tap might lead to the wrong contact being called.
(I guess these are the perils of having such a large screen. Sigh.)
4. Differentiate Outgoing/Incoming Calls
The lack of this feature, if I can even call it a feature, boggles my mind. How simple is it to differentiate outgoing and incoming calls? Has Jonathan Ive not designed the perfect aluminum-based arrow yet? Or is it because Steve Jobs hasn't settled on the exact hue he wanted to use?
It's not a 'life or death' 'feature' per se, but is something so basic that being without it, seems like a huge oversight on Apple's part. Fix it, be it by variance in color or an Apple-esque arrow, just let me know which calls fall under which category.
3. Ringer Profiles
Different situations call for different ringer profiles. If I am in an appointment or meeting, I might want my phone all the way silent. In a doctor's office or classroom, maybe vibrate could do. In my own space, maybe I just want it to ring. In a public arena, perhaps I would prefer vibe+ring. And if I want to sleep, maybe I only want to be awaken by phone calls and not e-mails or SMS.
This lack of customization is something I've grown used to with the iPhone, but it doesn't make it better or even right. I remember my old Motorola RAZR had a bevy of choices to choose from and the Blackberry Curve also had some great customization in their ringer profiles, but with the iPhone I'm stuck with only Vibrate or Ring. As easy and intuitive as Apple makes things sometimes, in this case, Apple simplified things to a fault.
2. Notifications
Let's say you stepped out of your house or your office for a few minutes and you come back and go about your business. If you received a phone call, or e-mail, or SMS in those few minutes, there would be no notification to tell you 'HEY! You missed a call!'. After a missed call it beeps once, upon receiving an E-mail or SMS it'll make your predetermined sound, but a few minutes later? Nothing. Few hours later? Silence.
There is no way to know you missed anything because there is no notification feature on the iPhone! One of my pet peeves about the RAZR was how annoying that missed call sound was, but it made sure I never missed anything in 5 minute intervals. And though the Blackberry had no notification sounds, its indicator light was piercing. As much as unlocking the iPhone makes me smile, it isn't efficient to have to double-check your phone to see if you missed anything.
I would suggest Apple include an 'invisible' indicator light. It doesn't have to be protruding like those in the Blackberry but rather be an inconspicuous part of the phone. I imagine Apple designing an indicator light that is only noticeable when there is something to notify the user about.
1. Improve the Phone Experience
Apple needs to upgrade their phone capabilities and offer a great phone experience rather than just a passable one. The iPhone works great when there is good-to-great reception and performs decently when signal is average-to-good, but to be honest, what phone doesn't? Improving the radio could possibly be fixed via the 3G model because of the larger bandwidth and purported plastic backing, but still, as one of the leaders of the industry, the iPhone needs to become a great phone—not just a great device.
Adding features like voice dialing would be a bonus, it'll certainly improve the one-hand capability of the iPhone. A better speaker would definitely help. The volume in incoming calls is much too quiet for my liking. In my own space, I can hear the conversation perfectly fine but then again I can also hear cars driving outside my house. In louder, more public places the iPhone isn't as loud as it could be even at maximum volume.
It is important for Apple to be conscious of the iPhone's shortcomings because in the end, the iPhone will always be judged as a phone first. Sure it uses a slick interface and brings the web to our fingertips, heck, it even plays music and video really well but if Apple doesn't give a GREAT phone experience? For many, that's the biggest dealbreaker.
Final Thoughts
Fair or not, the iPhone is judged differently because many of its features has raised the bar and put the industry on notice. When a feature isn't close to brilliant on the iPhone, people ridicule the device for being nothing more than a pretty paperweight. If Apple falls short of perfection with the iPhone, people will continue to think that the iPhone is a overhyped device. Admitting to mistakes isn't Apple's strong suit but to ignore the pitfalls of the iPhone is to be careless in execution—and Apple is not careless.
So on June 9th, let's hope that Steve Jobs wont announce just the 3G iPhone but also address the minor tweaks and fixes necessary. We can call it the 3G iPhone as desired by TiPb, if you wish. But to be honest, when Apple gets around to fixing some of the items on this list, we'll be happy. The iPhone is already a great device with these shortcomings, so when they fix them? Well, I wouldn't want to own a Crackberry or iClone then..
Did I miss anything? What would you fix in the iPhone? Any tweaks necessary? Or will 3G be enough for you to upgrade? Tell us in the comments and qualify to win a $100 iTunes Gift Card in this Wait-a-Thon Post!

10 Things Apple Should Fix in the iPhone (Wait-a-Thon!)
Your point # 4 is totally right, thats been bugging me since the beginning. Incoming and outgoing calls is a must. I would also ad an icon for work, home, cell etc...
So True
Awesome list, Casey! I'm cutting and pasting it into an iPhone Feedback form at Apple.com right... now :)
Great list, one thing I loved about an old phone, that you might not think of until you have it. Profiles tied to whitelists/blacklists. For example, a "sleep" profile where only certain people can call you, or a "Meeting" profile, when you only get vibration rings from your boss... It's really wonderful, and used to be in Sony Ericcson phones (maybe still is?)
As a blackberry user who is hell bent on switching to the 3g iPhone, this list is very helpful in making my decision. I took some of these points for granted figuring there was no way the iPhone couldn't do some of them. Now I know...
Apple should also change the head phone jack so any 3.5 mm head phone set will fit into it. It was disappointing to me to set up my new iPhone, plug my head phones into the ultimate multimedia device and then hear . . . nothing. Then, I spent more money on an adapter.
I would really like to see a "task" feature similar to the one found on the blackberry or MS Outlook. Other than that I you put together a nice list.
Insightful list. I agree with most if not all of your points.
I would add: Vibrate-only (silent) ring tone. Why? Mostly for alarms. I need a vibrate-only alarm and currently the only way to do that is to turn the ringer volume all the way down (putting the ringer switch in vibrate mode doesn't silence alarms only incoming calls and other notifications). My work around for now was to make my own custom 5 second AAC ring tone of silence and use that for vibe-only alarms, but iPhone should have that out of the box (plus occasionally iTunes screws up syncing my ring tones and my supposedly "silent" custom ring tone gets switched out for "Marimba" and then blasts my wife and toddler at 5:15 am when I'm trying to quietly sneak out to go to the gym.)
Note the Ed. Note, folks. :D
I am surprised you didn't mention MMS and video recording. The lack of these two features has baffled me for the last year. I know that there are 3rd party apps that make it possible, but why were they ever left out?
Great List.
Add better speaker phone as well as louder headset volume to this list.
Ok so I missed the louder headset volume in his list... sorry.
Moving to the iPhone from a Treo, I have sorely missed the ability to use profiles(granted the Treo required a third party app to do it). Having the bluetooth on automatically during drive time, or the ringer off during work hours sure is nice. Yes, it only takes a couple of seconds, but it's hard to go backwards...
It feels like apple spent alot of time on the big stuff and then just threw the everyday stuff togeather at the last minute. Once they get the things on your list fixed as well as some of the things you mentioned before like copy/paste and MMS I think the iPhone will be amazing / mind blowing. Or it will be what I expected it would be when I first got it.
Speaking with pure speculation, I think some of these will be solved via third party apps. The rest will need to be done by Apple, and all we can do is hope that it happens. I can't imagine Apple of all companies releasing the iPhone 2.0 with the only upgrade being 3G, so I am cautiously optimistic.
Good list though. The iPhone is a really good device without these things, but with them it would skyrocket to just plain awesome.
8 and 10 conflict a bit as that extra formatting can't be don't in plain BB style emails. Also, apple wouldnt need to add a light to the iPhone for indications they could simply draw a dot on the screen with different colors for different missed messages.
Might I add support of a Bluetooth keyboard. That would me to make my responses to emails a bit more thorough and make editing MS Office and/or iWork documents (Assuming SDK developers bring out such software for the iPhone) a real possibility. I could go back to traveling with one device rather than having to carry my Palm TX and my iPhone.
video recording/conferencing and higher mp camera =). Hope I win!!
This website is meant to contain tools for iPhone interface designers. The website currently has a downloadable PSD file of the complete iPhone interface.
Ring profiles are something I didn't even realize I was missing, but yes! Yes! Absolutely! Love the 5s of silence ring is something I hadn't thought to try, good one Dyvim
All reasons why I'm a little bit glad (only a little though) that I'm waiting for iPhone 2.0. Its been painful to deal with the Treo for the past year while my brother plays on his iPhone, but when I switch its going to be great.
I 100% agree with number 1. As noted before this is the reason I don't have an iPhone now:
and I truly hope this is fixed in the second gen device. This thread:
on the Apple support site got a lot of comments and views and even made the mainstream media (as well as a zillion or two blogs) and that gives me hope that Apple will have taken reception issues very seriously. The aluminium back is lovely but if replacing it with plastic is part of a resolution of these problems, that's all good with me.
- Notifications
I would like to see an icon on the top of the screen where the battery and signal bars are to show emails, sms, missed calls, etc.. Even if this was just on the unlock screen it would be helpful.
Also it is amazing the number of comments made from people that did not read the entire article. In the 2nd paragraph you mentioned several 'mainstream problems' that you were leaving off the list, yet people made comments about those exact issues.
Sound profiles are a BIG MUST. WinMob 6 even has different vibrate tones. In silent mode, I have normal vibrate for text and sms, and a pulsating vibrate for calls (this lets me know how quick I need to get the phone out of the holster).
The other REALLY BIG thing would be #9, the universal landscape keyboard. I would think this would quickly eliminate any complaints of "no slide-out keyboard." Seems to me that the big advantage of a slide-out keyboard is size. If users had the option of which keyboard to use at any time, then keyboard complaints would probably go away.
Those are all very good reasons, and I hope they have added some of those in the 3G iPhone which I plan on getting soon after its release. I especially would like formatted text, it could also use a copy,paste,cut, etc. feature.
Oh, and the notification, I think, is key to making the iPhone better, prior I had no idea there was no notification for a missed call, etc. I would believe that that in time would get quite annoying.
i too had a RAZR before the iPhone and it was the most annoying phone in the universe, nice and stylish but omg he was capable of biping 4 hours for a low batteries....
btw: i just discovered your blog, i Love it! add me on twitter i would like to follow more iPhonesque news
Great list, #4 is definitely one of my major pet peeves...
Speaking of Treo Features, it was really nice to be able to hit a persons first initial and start spelling their last name and have it jump to their list. Having 6500+ names and number this is a feature I really miss.
Of course, a system wide Search/Spotlight...

I 2nd the MMS and video recording. It will be interesting to see what happens with this in regards to the talk of .Mac abilities. I know I personally revolve around a community of bloggers/video bloggers and "citizen journalists" who love these specific abilties (like in Nokia's N95 series and are willing to pay to have them).
I know that my next phone will wither be the 2nd Gen iPhone or a Nokia N96 releasing in May.
Sorry but as someone who gets a lot of HTML email (press releases and things like that) one of things that I really enjoy about the iPhone is HTML email. WinMo and others just don't do it well at all (even with Exchange) and I much prefer seeing them as they were meant to be seen. While I agree not everyone uses it, and a "switch" of some kind would be the right way to go - I would be pretty upset if they did away with it completely ala BB. I don't see any sense in taking two steps backwards just to appease the BB group who has a hard time dealing with things like color and pictures in their emails.
Almost all of the others I agree on. Tweaking them a bit here and there - but overall a pretty solid list.
Great list. I can't wait to see how the new IPhone addresses these issues.
I have a Treo 700w now and love being able to classify a group of contacts and assigning a single ringtone to the entire group, as in Family, Co-workers, etc. A feature I hope Apple will adopt with 2.0. All the other stuff on this list is dead-on.
Eh. I've waited, and I just want to 3G. I'll get int in my hands before I start going on about what I would change. Beggars can't be choosers?
Give up on the head phone jack this was not an evil conspiracy nor a failed design. It is designed to do exactly what it did. Reenforce the headphone jack to minimize damage due to lateral pressure. The number one failure for iPods was the headphone jack separating from the circuit board because it was pulled or pushed on. By inserting the jack you reduce stress and damage. Soon most headphones will sport the new plug and other companies will start recessing their headphones.
I agree with your list somewhat, but can they PLEASE fix chat and text messaging for the love of all things new and shiny!?!?!??! Also, why should I live in fear that someone will be admiring my cellphone only for my private text message to pop up. Not cool.
Steve Jobs calls the iPhone the best iPod ever yet it doesn't support stereo bluetooth. A glaring omission. And keeping with the bluetooth theme, I agree with Bill that adding support for a bluetooth keyboard would be fantastic. Ok, I can't help myself, an easy switch to vibrate-only mode is essential for me!
Excellent post...all points are spot on!
Great article. I wish for all these improvements too but something tells me that we will see few of them. Not that they couldn't easily do all of them but just that we probably wont be seeing it.
How about the ability to delete multiple messages at the same time with a check box or the like? having to delete every mail message one by one (with two actions - swiped and delete) is a pain.
Great list just want to add:
+ MMS and video recording.
+ Open Bluetooth.
+ Support more headsets.
Also needs:
- copy and paste.
- search tool (Finder).
Multi-delete is coming with firmware 2.0.
Excellent post. Not sure I agree with you on all points. I like my HTML email. DO wish we had flash. But, you know... cant have everything.
Notifications are a must.
You don't realize their value until you have a phone with notifications and subsequently get a phone without them.
I had that samsung slider that was popular about a 1.5 years ago and the notifications feature was awesome. sometimes you just dont hear the sound of an incoming text message or you dont hear the phone ring when its in a different room.
Sometimes with my current phone I wont read a text message for a couple hours after I receive it...if only there were notifications...
Universal landscape mode would be HUGE!!
4 would be at the top of my list. But above that would be a modem app to let me use the phone's net connection with my MBP.
Nice list. To me cut and paste, plus the ability to search email should be basic features. And how about keeping the cache in the browser windows on all the time, so when you switch back to an open browser window, it doesn't have to reload the page again like it does many times right now.
Cut and paste is my number one missing item on the iphone. I hope that apple can come up with something super creative for that.
Cut-n-paste would be nice ... as would MMS.
With almost every "Smart" phone I've seen, you start spelling a name or dialing a number, and it fills in the blanks for you. It will be a helpful addition to have "Contacts" on the main screen a-la-iPod Touch, but why can't you search by dialing?? As has been pointed out many times before, even very inexpensive phones can do this!! Alas, I don't think the iPhone will really be a "smart" phone until it can do this. Also, what about some way to sync files a-la the desktop version of ActiveSync???
Top on my list is universal search for onboard data (contacts, calendar, notes plus maybe sms and email). I still have 1,000+ notes from my Treo that I have not copied over to the iPhone, because there's no easy way to get to the information that I want.
i agree with the lanscape keyboard feature. i think that this would work amazingly on the text app on the iphone. it not only adds convience but also makes for a better looking picture for potential buyers. I think the biggest thing apple needs to do is, loosen up on the custimization settings. my last iphone i had jailbroken and used several 3rd party apps to make my phone mine. from custom slider icons, to a new theme for the icons and a wallpaper behind the icons. my jailbroken phone allowed me to change the theme for all my apps, and colors for my text boxes. i could change the system font and the clock and text font. MY iphone was the ENVY of all my friends. If apple allowed me to customize my STOCK iphone, then it would be a great sale.
universal landscape mode sounds really sweet, but adding the option for mms and flash for the camera will make it a plus plus for me. :)
i heart the iphoneblog
I think that there should be a button above the "silent/ringer switch". It should be a shortcut key that can open an app that u set it too. Also, while in the camera app, u take the picture using that botton, its just like a real camera
I agree to your list. What about GPS and being able to send and view picture mail via SMS, also a camara with a flash. I cant live without either of these which is why I'm still with sprint. Being able to watch videos on Ebaumsworld or CNN would be an awesome feature with Safari too, so until then I'm content with operamini on my sprint phone. When the iphone 2.0 drops I will be more than happy to give whatever maybe the price for it BUT I would want some of the items in the TOP 10 LIST to be addressed also a few on mines as well. If not I'll look into the Blackberry BOLD.
And more memory!!
I honestly think the one thing that bothers me the most about the iphone is the picture texts. I hate that you have to get online to see a stupid picture your friend sent you. It should just open in a different window or something.
i would love to see the photo caller id, and the ability to add bold italic and last but not least cut and paste. also mms wouldnt hurt. this way we wouldnt have to program everyones firstname.lastname@example.com
All I know is I can't wait for this new iphone to come out...However, a landscape keyboard for text messaging would be awesome!
May seem stupid to some, but I really want to be able to change the ring for incoming mail. We can change it to a few generic for text messages, but I want to be able to choose others than the default for my mail since I use the phone MOST for mail.
I don't really think that the things you said here were truth. I think that Apple probably did everything they could have done to make it the perfect thing but after all, there is a limit of things you can put in such a small thing with a low price.
I agree with just about all your points. I would just like to add one small tweakable problem to the list. If I set my alarm to wake me in the morning, and my iphone just happens to be on silent at that time, GET THIS... my alarm will go off in the morning yes.. but on silent. Not really gonna wake me is it. Apple wake up.
Apple do not publicise that the iPhone will not bluetooth to a laptop or another mobile phone to synch contacts, etc. and tried to blame BMW because it will not bluetooth to the car - funny every other phone I have used connects no problem....It actually connects but goes in and out continuously. Strange...
Great List !
Ringer profiles is a must. Still fail to understand why Apple missed out on it. Phones as old as Nokia 6600 offer this option. I have been postponing my decision to switch to iPhone primarily because of lack of this feature.
All of the above suggestions are all points that should be taken by Apple, but to me the most infuriating two things are:
1) It certainly is not LOUD enough to hear conversations.. Every other word out of my mouth is: What did you say??? The LOUD speaker is ridiculously inadequate. Have you ever noticed how loud and clear a Blackberry is?
2) The "you-can't-change-it-yourself battery! This will be EXTREMELY inconvenient to have to schlepp all the way to an Apple store (or worse having to mail it in) !!!!!
Here we go - new 3Gs version - still no profiles, MMS on hold with AT&T, no accessible battery, calendar week view, etc. i think maybe I made a mistake switching from Windows.
Your blog is very informative ... support the make nice!
The only way to really address these issues is for all of us to take two minutes and fill out a feedback form at:
I really likedreading your post! I adore mostthings antiques, but in particular engagement rings.
Just reset network settings and Personal Hotspot is still missing on my 4s.
I have a similar app on my Treo. It automatically time and date stamps when it is read and has the ability to input the contact's name. I would love to see this on iPhone when I change over to one.+1

A Rum Creek resident reports that they received a call regarding the issuance of new Medicare cards. The number came up as "Private," the background was noisy, the caller had a heavy accent and spoke to someone else at his location in a foreign language.
The caller said new Medicare cards were in the process of being issued and additional information was necessary. He asked for banking information and even had the routing number for the bank mentioned.
Before giving out any information, the resident said they told the caller they wanted to verify with Medicare this process was taking place. After additional efforts to obtain the information, the caller finally hung up.
A call to Medicare confirmed new cards are not being issued, nor would Medicare ever ask for banking information.
According to a survey by the Investor Protection Trust in June of this year, over 7.3 million senior citizens aged 65 or older have been taken advantage of financially in terms of an inappropriate investment, unreasonably high fees for financial services, or outright fraud. That is 20 percent of Americans in that age range.
Other scams senior citizens should be aware of are sweepstakes and lottery scams, bereavement scams, deceptive professionals and investment and work at home opportunities.
If you receive any suspicious calls, get information from the caller, inlcuding their name, telephone number and direct supervisor. Call or research the company on the internet and if their claim is legitimate, call them back.
If the call is not legitimate, call the AARP Senior Medicare Patrol at 1-800-799-4638, or call local law enforcement.

Because there are so many Scotch regions, and blended whiskies feature spirit from several regions, and many distilleries. A number of popular blended Scotch whiskies boast that they feature 'over 40 single malts'. Thus, the blended whiskies in this section are from an unspecified location. Here you'll find such back bar favourites as Johnnie Walker and Chivas Regal. You'll also find some of Compass Box's new additions, like their well received Asyla and Richard Paterson's brain child; the Whyte and Mackay range.
