Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†

Here is what I would do... If I were in your situation...
Call and talk to a Suntrust Banker... ask them about their pre-selected offers, and what the approval criteria is... Ask them what "pre-approved" really means, and if the pre-approval was based on an actual promotional review of your credit report. You don't want to do a blind application with your scores being so low.
If their approval criteria for the regular card is strict... Ask them if their Secured Card will graduate to an Unsecured card later on. Also, ask if it reports as "Secured" on your credit report. High Limit Secured Cards can help show other lenders that you are responsible enough to handle larger credit limits. Some secured cards can go up to 10k-15k in CL, which can help you be approved for higher limits with other lenders, since they see that you can handle that credit limit responsibly.
Before you apply for anything, pay off your existing card balances and make sure they are reporting either a 0 balance, or a small balance, like $10-$20
Also consider applying for a GE Backed card, such as Amazon Store Card, or Wal Mart Store card. These have promotional interest on purchases above a certain dollar amount, and can be used to purchase a wide variety of merchandise. Their Credit Limits also grow well over time, you can ask for an increase every 4 months. Some users have reported receiving up to 20k limits on GE Backed credit cards such as the PayPal Mastercard.
Yes, this is what I was thinking of (re: secured card). I was hoping for something a little more satisfying, but...I made my bed =)
Are secured cards identified any differently on credit reports than unsecured cards?
Also, someone mentioned a "website which shall not be named"- neat site! Why is it such a no-no around here to address it by name?

I have to agree with Distant on advice about getting with better known cards. I've read little about Suntrust but Distant's opinion of them sounds familiar. Plus if i remember correctly, they are conservative as well, meaning they may deny you even more readily than AMEX.
One thing you can count on, if they were great to get in with, they'd be talked about on this forum like NFCU or others Distant mentioned. They're not, so that's one extra indicator to take into consideration.
I don't agree with this. They aren't talked about much because they aren't national. PNC isn't talked about a lot but they offer 1.75% cashback which is pretty high. Fort Knox Federal Credit Union gives 5% on gasoline but it never talked about.
American Express is really not difficult to get a card from either. Haven't you noticed people with scores in 600's and multiple derogatory marks getting approved.
I'm not saying Suntrust's cards are the best out there, because they aren't, but it's like they are some fly by night bank that's only branch is in someone's cupboard. They aren't difficult to get because my little brother's college friend has a card from them.

+1. And there is also a snowball effect here, the cards that are talked about seem most desirable and people talk about them even more. Recently there were a few comments (regarding a certain members ~100 inqs) saying things like "Are there even 100 different credit cards?" Yep, many many times that. It's harder for a regional bank/CU to get attention.

This is really something that varies by lender. Sometimes the banker will be able to find this out for you,
In my opinion, it really doesn't matter whether it reports as "secured" or not. It will be scored in the exact same way as an unsecured revolving major credit card.
Secured Loans are another great way to build positive payment history on installment accounts. Installment payment history is looked at more closely and scored more heavily when you apply for a car loan, so, its important to have both good revolving credit history, and good installment credit history.
I used a secured loan from Chase and a $200 Chase Freedom card to re-establish positive installment history and revolving credit history back in 2007, as well as some GE Backed cards... namely Lowes and Dillards.
Also, someone mentioned a "website which shall not be named"- neat site! Why is it such a no-no around here to address it by name?
The website which shall not be named sponsors activities which are considered "credit repair" under federal law. Credit Repair companies have very strict regulations, therefore, MyFico has very strict terms of service as to which companies can be referenced or linked to on these forums.
That is why this announcement is contained in the Rebuilding Forum:
Fair Isaac and myFICO are not credit repair organizations or similarly regulated organizations governed by the federal Credit Repair Organizations Act or similar state laws. Fair Isaac and myFICO do not provide so-called "credit repair" services or advice or give assistance regarding "cleaning up" or "improving" your credit record, credit history, or credit rating. Before posting, please read FICO Forums Credit Repair Discussion Guidelines. By accessing and using this community you agree to the User Guidelines and Terms of Service.
one more thing is no matter how good a bank's been to anyone, the true color comes out when something takes a turn for the worst. Kinda like how majority of what people consider "friends" would sell you out for a klondike bar if they had the chance. If a person has 5 really trustworthy friend they're blessed.

All too very very true!
I also have to add to my earlier comment, that though SunTrust is not spoke of or sought after on this forum, I have also not noticed a lot of negative posts either, so as far as info here goes, it becomes rather neutral. So in the end, the relationship the OP has developed with the bank seems the most informative regarding their question and maybe the most influential.
To avoid confusion, please do not double post across multiple threads. Thank you, 09 Lexie
for some reason, suntrust closed my credit card which i had with them for 2 months.
i called them, the fraud department said " i dont have a stable relationship with them"
does anyone else have the same problem?

Bio Marlene was raised in Central Florida, the daughter of a 12th generation farmer and part Cherokee mother. She learned at an early age to work hard and to love God. She first met Jesus at the tender age of six sitting in an orange tree in her backyard in Sanford, Florida. This was when she first felt a call to the nations. She is mother to four sons, three grandchildren, and many spiritual sons and daughters. Isaiah 54 is her life chapter. It was from that scripture God gave her two specific promises about her physical children. "All your children will be taught of the Lord and have great peace."(Isaiah 54:13) and, "Your decedents will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities." (Isaiah 54:3). Marlene has been called to go wherever and by whatever means God leads and guides; making disciples, assisting and caring for the children He sends her way. This could be across the street or across the world. It could be to the jailhouse, or to someone's penthouse or simply a backyard BBQ. But wherever she is, her desire is to bring hope and healing to a lost generation. She has a heart for the lost, backslidden and broken. Her desire is to love and know the Lord fully and unconditionally, growing in His grace and wisdom; becoming His perfect bride, without spot or wrinkle. God created us to be beautiful. She wants to know and become God's treasure on this earth and to help others become God's treasured people also. God searches today for those who will make Him their single desire, who will say with the Psalmist and King David that, "the Lord is the portion of mine inheritance" (Psalm 16:5). They will be His special possession because, "the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His peculiar treasure" (Psalm 135:4). 850-661-6104 CinderellaReleased.Me firstname.lastname@example.com Webpage http://cinderellareleased.wixsite.com/cinderellareleased

MILLIONS across the world have welcomed the New Year in with a bang – as
Britain gears up for its own celebrations later this evening.
The first to toast 2013 at 10am GMT was the Pacific Ocean island of
Kiritimati, known as Christmas Island.
Sydney, Australia followed at 1pm GMT, with some 1.5million people attending
the city's events.
Revellers crowded onto the shore as a dramatic firework show erupted from the
Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Tens of thousands turned out in Hong Kong to be treated to a firework display
with a price tag of HK$12.5million (over £990,000), billed by organizers as
the city's biggest ever.
North Koreans took to the streets to see in the New Year, called "Juche 102" –
referring to the 102 years since North Korean founder Kim Il Sung was born.
Burma's largest city Yangon saw workers testing a giant digital countdown
screen with a backdrop featuring the magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda landmark.
The party atmosphere in New Delhi, India, was subdued following the death of a
gang-rape victim on Saturday.
Numerous venues in the Indian capital cancelled planned festivities, asking
people to light candles in solidarity instead.

Students: Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Office of Student Conduct and Community Enagegment (SCCE) located?
The Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement (SCCE) is located in the Student Center Building Room 226.
Can I request information regarding my disciplinary matter over the telephone?
For security reasons, we do not provide such information over the phone because information regarding disciplinary matters is highly confidential, and we must be sure that we are providing the information to the correct person. Should you need to review your record or schedule a meeting, you may call 956-326-2280.
What happens if I refuse or fail to meet with the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement (SCCE) after being notified of a scheduled appointment with that office?
Provided adequate notice was given consistent with University rules, the Vice President of Student Affairs or his/her designee may block the enrollment or otherwise alter the status of a student who fails without good cause to attend a scheduled meeting with SCCE. Note that a decision regarding disciplinary concern will still be rendered with the information provided.
Can my parents attend the meeting with me at the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement (SCCE)?
Yes, an individual may attend a meeting with you at our office, provided that you sign a release of authorizing prior to the meeting. However, separate meetings are scheduled for any students involved in the same disciplinary matter, including those who have been referred to the SCCE and/or who may have witnessed an incident being investigated by SCCE. Disclosure of Disciplinary Records
Am I allowed to examine my disciplinary file?
Yes. You will need to go to the SCCE and fill out a request to view your file. (This paperwork can be completed when you meet with an SCCE staff member about your disciplinary matter.) You will also need to present an official photo ID. After your request is processed, a time may be arranged for you to review the file in our office. Disciplinary Record Review Request
How can I have a Judicial Hold removed from my record?
Call SCCE at 326.2280. Generally, a judicial hold means that you failed to respond to a judicial letter or are pending to fulfill some other obligation concerning a disciplinary/academic matter, so you will probably need to schedule an appointment and meet with the Director of Student Conduct and Community Engagement before the hold is removed.
How can I obtain my confiscated identification (ID) card?
If your student ID card was confiscated on campus, it will probably be sent to the SCCE. Provided the ID card was received by the SCCE, you will be sent an email from that office outlining your options. Please note: A student ID card is for your use only. So, if you have allowed someone else to use your ID card, you might be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
What information is released when I complete a job application or reference form requesting information on disciplinary records?
Person requesting information must bring an official photo ID and the signed release form. If the form does not have a signed release allowing us to provide information of that nature, you (the student) will be asked to sign a release form at OSA.
How can I report a suspected violation of Student Code of Conduct to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement?
If you have reason to believe that a student may have violated University rules, you may contact the SCCE at 326-2280 or submit a complaint via our reporting database at Reportit.
If I file a complaint and disagree with the outcome, can I appeal the decision?
No, only the accused student or a victim of crimes of violence may appeal a disciplinary decision.
Will I be able to know the outcome of another student's disciplinary matter?
We will only release information about the outcome of another student's disciplinary matter upon his/her written consent or when required to do so by state or federal law.
What if I disagree with an allegation of academic dishonesty made by my professor?
You may request that case be reviewed by the Honor Council. Supporting information such as course syllabus will be required in order to take a case before the Honor Council. " I Disagree " is not enough.
What is an Administrative hearing?
An Administrative hearing is one person, usually the Vice President of Student Affairs and/or designee, and determine if a violation of rule occurred.
Can I appeal the outcome of an Administrative Hearing?
Yes, but appeal is limited and it is reviewed by the VP of Student Success and/or designee.
What is an Honor Council Hearing?
The Honor Council is composed of faculty and students that review academic appeals.
What if I disagree with the findings of the Honor Council?
You may choose to have your academic matter reviewed by the Provost.
Will my financial aid be affected by the sanction I received?
Maybe. For information regarding your financial aid please contact The Office of Student Financial Aid at 326-2225. Additional information about financial aid can be found on their website.
I have an attorney; what is his/her role in resolving my disciplinary matter?
Your attorney may attend and advise you throughout the disciplinary process. However, your attorney is not permitted to speak, question witnesses, introduce evidence, make objections, or present arguments to the hearing officer during that proceeding. Written notice must be provided to the SCCE at least three days before the hearing that an attorney will be present.
Can my parents obtain information from the Office of Student Conduct and Community Engagement about my disciplinary matter?
Our office would provide such information to your parents if you have signed a release authorizing us to do so. However, information is only released in person. Drug and Alcohol violations by minors allow the SCCE to inform parents.
Who has access to my disciplinary record?
Your disciplinary record is considered confidential. However, information concerning your disciplinary record may be made available to appropriate University officials, faculty, and/or staff members who have a legitimate educational interest in such information. In addition, information regarding your disciplinary record may be released to other individuals or entities upon your written request or in accordance with state and federal law.
How long will my disciplinary record be maintained?
Most disciplinary records are maintained for at least five (5) years after case is closed, terminated, completed, expired, or settled. Some records, however, are kept permanently, including those involving an assessed penalty of suspension, expulsion, denial or revocation of a degree, and/or withdrawal of a diploma.

|Descriptive Information
|Brief Title ICMJE
|A Study of the Long-Term Outcomes of HIV-Positive Patients
|Official Title ICMJE
|A Prospective Study of Long-Term Clinical, Virologic, and Immunologic Outcomes in HIV-Infected Individuals
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect information about life spans and HIV-related illnesses in multiple groups of HIV-positive patients with varying anti-HIV treatment experience, including no treatment at all.
Anti-HIV treatment has been successful in slowing disease progression in many patients. However, there are still questions regarding the best way to use anti-HIV drugs. This study is designed to provide long-term monitoring of patients who have already received anti-HIV treatment as well as patients who are just beginning treatment or have decided not to receive treatment.
|Detailed Description
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) often results in short-term benefits for people with HIV in terms of reduced plasma viral levels and increased CD4 cell counts. When used at an early stage of HIV disease, however, the clinical benefit of HAART is uncertain. Many questions still remain regarding the optimal use of antiretroviral therapies, such as the timing of initial antiretroviral therapy and the composition of the best combination regimen to use initially or after virologic failure. Randomized trials of different starting antiretroviral regimens (e.g., FIRST [CPCRA 058]), different regimens after initial virologic failure (e.g., PIP [CPCRA 057]), and different management strategies for HIV infection (e.g., bis-POM [CPCRA 039], NvR [CPCRA 042], GART [CPCRA 046], and IL-2 VL/Dose [CPCRA 059] are being conducted by the CPCRA. [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: The MDR-HIV (CPCRA 064) protocol is now included as an example of a different management strategy for HIV infection, whereas the bis-POM (CPCRA 039) protocol is no longer included.] This study provides a mechanism for long-term monitoring of patients enrolled in these trials as well as antiretroviral-naive patients who are either starting treatment or electing to defer treatment.
Patients are divided into 3 groups. Group A consists of patients currently enrolled in or currently being followed in an ongoing qualifying study (see Purpose for CPCRA trials which qualify). Group B consists of patients previously enrolled in but not currently being followed in a qualifying study. Group C consists of antiretroviral-naive patients not enrolling in a qualifying study (i.e., patients starting treatment outside the FIRST study or patients deferring treatment). Patients in Group A undergo monitoring of selected clinical and laboratory parameters (including plasma HIV RNA levels and CD4 cell counts) once every 4 weeks beginning after completion of all follow-up appointments for all other protocols in which they were enrolled. Patients in Groups B and C undergo monitoring of selected clinical and laboratory parameters (including plasma HIV RNA levels and CD4 cell counts) once every 4 months. Patients are followed for at least 5 years. [AS PER AMENDMENT 2/28/01: Patients who are not being followed in a qualifying protocol and are antiretroviral naive at enrollment or were previously enrolled in the FIRST (CPCRA 058) protocol undergo blood draws at enrollment and then annually for measurement of plasma HIV levels by a CPCRA-approved laboratory and future CPCRA-approved, HIV-related research. Patients who relocate to a non-CPCRA affiliated site are asked to sign a consent for ongoing release (every 4 months) of their medical records from their new health care provider to the CPCRA.]

A year ago, the Elk River tennis team got a very favorable draw in the state tournament and wound up placing third as they only had to face one of the powerhouses and beat two unranked teams.
No such luck this year, as the Elks drew dynastic Edina in the first round on Tuesday. It was Edina that beat the Elks in the semifinals last year on the way to their 15th straight state title. They call it "Edinasty."
In the first round pairings announced Wednesday, the Elks (19-4) face top-seeded Edina at 8 a.m., followed by No. 4 Rochester Century vs. No. 5 Mounds View, No. 2 Minnetonka vs. Stillwater, and No. 3 Prior Lake vs. St. Cloud Tech.
The state teams were seeded this year for the first time, in a vote of coaches, who determined a top five, with the three unseeded teams drawn from a hat for pairings against the top three.
Edina won its section final 4-3 over Wayzata, a team that beat the Elks 6-1.
Schulz faces familiar rival
Meanwhile, Elk senior Michaela Schulz, the Section 7AA singles champion, will open singles competition Thursday against Mary Liz Swanson, a conference rival from Blaine. Schulz edged Swanson 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in their conference duel.
Singles competition was also seeded for the first time this year, although only the top four, in order to place them in separate brackets. From one through four are Mounds View's Summer Brills, Chanhassen's Hayley Haakenstad, Rochester Mayo's Kyle Boyer, and Wayzata's Kelly Yang.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Gabe is not an attention hog but does love to dance around on his hind feet to get someone's attention in hopes he'll be picked up. Gabe likes other dogs, and even likes to be around the large dogs here. He is ok with cats too. Though he would prefer to be with his humans all of the time (as a lap and hand-warmer, or clothing accessory), he does well in a crate both for travel and for sleep during the night. He is a cuddler but is very playful too, and he knows how to be a gentleman. Gabe LOVES to go on walks and is a pro at heeling and looks very stately on leash.
Please contact us at email@example.com for an application and to find out where and when you can meet this handsome young man.
Gabe, a Oakley Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu for sale in Oakley, or seeking a Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Oakley.

Year of 2013
New Problem.. New Resolution...
Anyway I'm back again... (dunno if people read this but who cares....)
I see lot of tutorial popping around in DA, You Tube, and perhaps Pixiv, but not many that I can say something born from that aside of comment,"Nice Job!!" or something like that. Sure there are people who love to gather all those guide and put it in one nice folder in the computer and then POOFFF forgotten (like me), while some of them follow the guide like some sort of bible of drawing of some sort, both are not necessarily wrong, and both are not true.
I realize myself that drawing is born from crazy idea of Mind, then signalling it to hand and transfer it to canvas (manually or digitally). With the guide that popping here and there in Internet, I like some sort of crazy bullhorn follow the guide like damn fool but not realizing the essence of the guide itself. Sometimes I just not drawing and feel that my drawing will not be rusty, but it's not. I must improve day by day or I will be plain or worst my hand. I trained and finally (even it just little) grasped concept of my drawing style.
The road to became master is harsh, deep, and full of something that can crush your motivation of drawing (People with same age or even below can draw better than you). But I will continue so I can someday stand as equal of people that respected in drawing.
What I draw, i try at least to make something I like but something new, something that people didn't recognize and think,"It may works..." I wanted to make that kind of drawing. So i will train myself so in future my drawing can be remembered by people.
In future perhaps I wanted to draw this :
My favorite idol Sae Miyazawa, Sayaka Akimoto, and Mariko Shinoda from AKB 48 since they are my favorite idol
Cross over of NYPD Officer Aya Brea and John Mclane (they are both from New York so it's possible eh??)
Drawing Agent 47 with somebody from another series
Tony Stark with his suit
Jormungand Character crossover with of Call Of Duty Character (yeah I admit I am fanboy...)
I will update my journal once a month to check my progress, and if any of you have a request don't hesitate to asked, we will work something out...

As one of the biggest players in Tampa's Ybor City, Hillsborough Community College has a vested interest in preserving the flavor of the historic district. So why would it earn the bad neighbor award for building a new student center whose modern design detracts from the character of the old Latin Quarter?
A college spokeswoman said students and staff contributed to the design, which she defended as "incredibly attractive." There is no sense splitting architectural hairs. The larger question is why HCC would go contemporary in a historic district, and not give the community enough of a say in how its neighborhood looks and feels.
HCC says the college is exempt from architectural guidelines that control development in the historic district. Tampa officials are not so sure; they want the state attorney general to weigh in. In any case, the college should not be hiding behind concerns over cost or claims of immunity. The building's glass facade is out of whack. The college should have worked with community leaders to make it aesthetically consistent.
Reducing the issue to crass economics doesn't float, either. Plenty of other players — the city, Hillsborough County, the state, McDonald's, the Hilton and Hampton hotel chains, even the U.S. Postal Service — have built new structures in Ybor City that married form and function. By preserving the historic district, these projects have helped to attract tens of millions of dollars in public and private investment.
HCC's students and staff benefit by having a wealth of dining and leisure options within an easy walking distance. The college should take every opportunity to contribute to, not detract from, the environment that makes its Ybor campus so valued. It can start by exploring whether it can make even a modest design change so its new student center stands out for the right reasons.

Edited press release
With five of the 13 runners entered for Saturday's grade III, $150,000 Noble Damsel for fillies and mares at a mile on Belmont Park's turf exiting divisions of the Aug. 29 De La Rose at Saratoga, figuring out which horses were best in the De La Rose should lead handicappers in the right direction. Cloakof Vagueness and Path of Thunder, the winners of the split De La Rose, will run in the Noble Damsel. Path of Thunder's final time for the first division was 1:36 4/5 while Cloakof Vagueness stopped the teletimer in 1:34 3/5, meaning her division was significantly quicker. Part of the reason why the second division was so much faster must have something to do with pace. In the first division, the early splits set by Path of Thunder were a dawdling :25 3/5, :51 and 1:14 1/5. Givememore set fractions of :23 4/5, :47 2/5 and 1:11 1/5 in the second division, so it is understandable why that race was run in faster time. Roger Horgan, trainer of Givememore, loved his filly's race as a 25-1 longshot in the latter De La Rose, which was the Brazilian's first race since March 20th at Gulfstream. "We've done a couple of different things with her," said Horgan, who was around the filly when he worked for Ken McPeek and now trains her for McPeek's former clients, Alnoff Stable. Givememore is one of 15 horses under Horgan's care at Saratoga. "We gave her plenty of time after Gulfstream," Horgan continued. "She had chronic ulcers and we cleared those up. She was achy all over, so we wanted to do the right thing by her and give her time." Givememore ran her eyeballs out in the De La Rose, finishing fourth but only beaten one-half length. After setting the early pace, she finished up her last quarter-mile in a very respectable :23 2/5. "She ran a colossal race," Horgan said. "It's funny because it looked like there would be more pace in the first division, but as it turned out there was more speed in our division." Givememore has displayed plenty of versatility in her eight-race career, with the first four runs in her native Brazil. She has won on turf and dirt and has shown the ability to run well on the lead and from just off the pace. The mare who benefited the most from the legitimate pace in the second De La Rose division was winner Cloakof Vagueness. Since the De La Rose, Cloakof Vagueness tried tougher in the Ballston Spa Breeders' Cup (gr. IIIT) and finished sixth behind Alinghi and Que Puntual, two horses that would be very formidable in the Noble Damsel had they entered. "She was down inside the whole way and left herself with an awful lot to do," said trainer Phil Hauswald of Cloakof Vagueness' Ballston Spa. "She closed a lot of ground, but she really needs things to go her way to run her best race. The De La Rose field seems more similar to the Noble Damsel than the Ballston Spa." Hauswald said there has been no decision made yet regarding the mare's racing future. Cloakof Vagueness will be a strong addition to owner Steve Duncker's broodmare band when the time comes. Live Oak Plantation's My Lordship was a neck behind Cloakof Vagueness in second at the finish of the second De La Rose after a three-wide trip all the way around Saratoga's inner turf course as the 2-1 favorite for trainer Bill Mott and jockey Jerry Bailey. Back in the spring, My Lordship won the $60,000 Voodoo Dancer going a mile over the Widener turf course. Michael Tabor's Path of Thunder was able to take advantage of a slow pace in the first De La Rose and had plenty left for the stretch drive beneath John Velazquez. The daughter of Thunder Gulch finished up the last quarter-mile in a sparkling :22 3/5. Path of Thunder has never run over Belmont grass and her only start at the one-mile Noble Damsel distance was in the De La Rose.

Several recent actions by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, including eliminating the practice of "double tagging" deer where a license tag and a permit tag are both used, could mean no more waiting for some hunters. In a rule change adopted by the Commission at its Aug. 26 public meeting, hunters who buy their license online or over the phone can hunt deer on properties where permits are required, such as the Managed Lands Deer Permits, Landowner Assisted Management Permits or in the agency's special drawing hunts on public lands. The new rule is expected to be in effect by the opening of archery deer season. -30-

Skycap baggage service is starting to get expensive.
It used to be free at every airline, and it was no big deal to tip a hustling skycap a couple bucks a bag.
But now some airlines are starting to charge customers $2 a bag for skycap service. With a tip added in, the cost of checking just two bags can run as high as $8.
Many travelers feel caught in the middle, between skycaps trying to make a living and airlines trying to cut costs to the bone.
''It's another chit you have to pay," said Tim Cabot of Cambridge, who paid the baggage fee and tossed in a tip for a United Airlines skycap who processed his family's bags recently at Logan International Airport. ''I guess it's a function of how we fly, trying to find the cheapest ticket anywhere."
Cabot's right. As passengers migrate to the airlines with the lowest fares, airlines are responding by cutting costs wherever they can. Most have done away with free food. Some are eliminating magazines, pillows, even pretzels.
In March, United became the first airline at Logan to implement a $2-per-bag skycap fee. At the same time, it let passengers change their itineraries at curbside and also allowed international travelers to check in there.
United, which currently charges $2 a bag at 12 airports, says its motivation was to cut costs. By requiring its skycap subcontractor to charge customers $2 a bag, United was able to cut what it pays the subcontractor to offer the service. The subcontractor partially offset its skycaps' loss of tips by increasing their hourly wage.
American Airlines, the biggest airline at the airport, is preparing to implement a similar skycap fee.
''There's no decision yet, but we may test it in Boston," said Ned Raynolds, a spokesman for American. The airline is already charging a $2-a-bag skycap fee in Anchorage, Seattle, Tampa, and Portland, Ore.
''It's a revenue-generating move," Raynolds said. The baggage fee collected from consumers helps defray the cost of supplying the skycap baggage service, which is paid for by American but run by a subcontractor.
Globe Aviation Services, a Texas company that runs skycap services for a number of airlines, including American, could not be reached for comment on the fees.
Raynolds said it's up to customers whether to tip the skycap.
''These folks do get an hourly rate, but they are accustomed to being tipped," Raynolds said. ''People would still be encouraged to do so."
Everyone has an idea of what's a fair tip. Most tipping guides suggest at least $1 a bag, but some recommend $2 a bag or $5 for two. On a ''Seinfeld" episode in 1992, Jerry thought $10 for three bags was a reasonable tip while Elaine thought that was way too much. (Jerry's bag ended up at its correct destination; Elaine's was sent to Honolulu.)
Most skycap tipping guides I found on the Internet haven't been updated since airlines began charging the new baggage fees.
Skycaps at Logan wouldn't talk on the record about the new fees. Many said they had been warned not to discuss it by their bosses. The skycaps said they don't get paid much as it is. Now that customers are being asked to pay a baggage fee up front, they say, their tips are drying up.
''You're working twice as hard for less money," said one skycap.
At the United check-in, skycaps patiently explain to each customer that the $2 fee doesn't go to them, in the hope of encouraging a tip. Most customers seemed to respond favorably, but one skycap said that wasn't always the case.
''Some keep giving the same tip they've always given, some are doing less," the skycap said. ''Some aren't giving a tip at all."

QUESTIONS FOR ETHAN HAWKE; Renaissance Man?
Interview by DEBORAH SOLOMON
Published: September 16, 2007
-- you'll be in Sidney Lumet's thriller ''Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'' this fall -- you seem more interested in being an artist with a capital A. Is that why you keep writing novels and directing moody indie films? I always wanted to have an interesting life, and spending your life on a film set does not a great human being make. If I could be great at one art form, it would be writing, because I really respect it and it is not so ephemeral.
Is the pressure greater because Tennessee Williams was your great-uncle, on your father's side? My mother wanted me to be a novelist. In a way, I am a construction of my mother's imagination.
Do you believe that a mother can will her children to grow up into artists? If she abandons them early enough.
Is your mother pleased with her creation, in your case? I don't know. We don't talk about things like, ''Are you proud of me?'' She lives in Romania, and she is working for Gypsy rights. She started this organization called the Alex Fund, which is named after this child beggar she met who had a big impact on her.
Did she have a chance to see you this year in Tom Stoppard's acclaimed ''Coast of Utopia,'' in which you played the great Russian aristocrat-turned-anarchist Mikhail Bakunin? She rode in the cab home with me after she saw Part 3 of the play, and she said: ''Well, you'll never do anything better. What does that feel like?'' That's how my mother thinks.
How does your dad think? He's an actuary in Indiana. My mother would say to me that she thought my father was the smartest person she ever met. She wanted his genes. He got 1600 on his SAT's.
Do you think you have a high I.Q.? No. I know I don't.
How did you do on your SAT's? I took them stoned.
Lovely. Maybe we should talk about your coming projects. You'll be directing an Off Broadway play in New York next month. It's called ''Things We Want,'' by Jonathan Marc Sherman. It's like ''Long Day's Journey Into Night,'' only better, funnier and not so ridiculously long.
Are you sure you've praised it enough? I'm not done.
Why did you spend the summer in Australia? I'm doing a vampire picture. I'm taking a giant dive from high art to low art. Acting is the generator for all the other opportunities I get. I pay my bills by being an actor, and that enables me to take a year off from life to do ''The Hottest State.''
You're referring to the film you just directed, a dark romance based on your novel of the same title. It is based on when I was 20, 21. I invested my whole self-worth in what other people thought of me, largely women. The piece, to my mind, is about how we bring the past into every relationship and how whatever definition we have for love is taught to us by our parents.
Some reviewers found the film narcissistic, perhaps because the main character seems so enamored of his own emotions. That's totally fine. When I come to be dead, there will be a lot of work by me that people can look at. My kids can decide whether I was a narcissist or whether I was a loving person.
These are the children you had with Uma Thurman, your ex-wife? Yes. They're now 9 and 5.
What sort of advice do you give your kids? I tell them the more you read, the more intelligent you are. It's really that simple.

Fusion Beauty LipFusion XL Reviews
Hits the pocketbook, HARD.I have to agree with the general concensus on this one. It's just about average in it's plumping effect. This is meant more as a nighttime treatment and I used it as such. While my lips felt more hydrated with use, I don't think it did that much for me. Perhaps it will work better on lips that have considerably lost their plumpness, but as far as making mine swell- it did no such thing. It's ...read moreoverpriced in my humble opinion and overhyped. I haven't seen clinical data to back any of Fusion's claims. — 8 years, 10 months agoBeautyJunkieAmber | 231 reviews
Love!Honestly I really notice a huge difference when I use this product. I apply it at night and my lips feel so soft and full in the morning. I know the price is a bit steep, but one tube lasts a really long time. Sometimes you can get it in a value set for a lot cheaper, so if you've never tried it, that might be the way to go. — 4 years, 4 months agoemilyherx | 35 reviews
expected moreI had been using fusion lip plumpers -both clear at night and colors during the day and think its a good product so it was a no brainer to try the XL. It was a real disapointment for me- more expensive than the regular product without any additional plumping. — 5 years, 12 months agoskinpro | 17 reviews
Review subjectthis one gets 5 stars from me because i really like it as a lip gloss, but the company selling this for 50 bucks ought to be ashamed of themselves for selling lies.. on the box it says "no needles. no waiting. no kidding!" what a joke.. atleast needles would give the buyer the results they are clearly seeking when purchasing a product that directly compares itself to injectable fillers. in conclus...read moreion - no it won't make your pout physically fuller but it will make your lips shiny when you are wearing it, and soft when you arent. but thats nothing $2 chapstick can't do. — 6 years, 3 months agorinnity | 12 reviews

Lipfusion XL AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, didn't work for friend...What gives?So, myself and 2 friends went to Sephora and bought this, finally. I say finally because it is always sold out. It didn't do anything to me until using it for 2 weeks. Because it is $50 I only use it on my top lip. I LOVE IT!!!!!! People keep asking me if I botoxed my lip heehee! Now, it worked for one of my friends...however, my other friend (who exfoliated and did everything right, it did NOTHING!!!!!!

Good stuff!If I hadn't tried a sample of this first I never would have spent $50 for it, but it really works. I use it at night as directed and use the regular LipFusion during the day before applying lip gloss. Although the XL would be fine used alone and even during the day if you wanted. Neither product irritates or inflames my lips and I can see and feel the difference. — 6 years, 7 months agoTheBlond | 93 reviews

Works temporarilyAwful. I thought. Probably because the the sales person at sephora told me it would last 48 hours for the night (XL) one, and the day one lasts 24 hours. So I had high hopes. I tried it on, had barely any tingling sensation which is a +. First 15 minutes, I noticed a slight difference on my bottom lips but that was just it. It does not work well. I could probably create a better plumping affect by rubbing my lips really hard with a wet towel. I am returning this tomorrow. — 7 years, 6 months agomarcysartsy | 1 reviews

Safe Street Crossing
Walking is a fun and healthy activity that allows you to enjoy all your community has to offer. But as a pedestrian and/or motorist, you must be aware of the potential dangers of sharing the road with others who may not always see you.
Stay on the sidewalk - Whether you're walking, or in a wheelchair/scooter, sidewalks and pathways offer protection from vehicles. If necessary, travel on the shoulder of the left lane, facing oncoming traffic.
Cross at a crosswalk - Always use marked crosswalks or pedestrian-activated signals when they are available and cross only at a corner if they are not. Crossing in the middle of the road – jaywalking - is extremely dangerous because drivers are not anticipating pedestrians crossing in the middle of the street so they may not have enough time to avoid hitting you. Jaywalking is also illegal and you could be fined.
Look before you leap - Before crossing the street it is important to look left, then right and then left again to see any oncoming traffic. You may have the right-of-way, but motorists may not always be watching for you. Always be mindful of turning vehicles.
Put down your phone - Just like drivers, pedestrians are often distracted by technology. Remove headphones and avoid talking on cellphones when crossing the street. With your full attention you will be able to respond to hazards and avoid collisions with vehicles.
Keep children close - Don't let children run out ahead of you. Children are less visible than adults and may not always exercise good judgment about safety - so stay close enough to pull them to safety.
Proceed with caution when crossing more than one lane of traffic – Check the traffic in all other lanes and when the lane is clear, walk - don't run. This will allow drivers more time to see and come to a safe stop. Most pedestrians overestimate the distance at which drivers can see them. PAUSE until all vehicles in the next lane are stopped. Assume drivers don't see you and never step out into the next traffic lane until you have made eye contact with drivers and you are certain they will stop. Drivers may not realize other vehicles have stopped for pedestrians. Keep scanning both sides of the road as you cross. Stop in the middle of the crosswalk if you have to and make sure all oncoming vehicles intend to stop.
Wear light colours - Most pedestrian/vehicle collisions occur in late afternoon and early evening. Wear bright reflective clothing at night, in the evening and in the early morning hours so drivers can see you.

Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (CA-45), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, issued the following statement after the Cybersecurity Task Force unveiled its long-awaited recommendations. Among other things, the report urges Congress to pass data breach legislation, following cyber attacks on Sony, Epsilon and Citi Group which put more than 100 million customer accounts at risk:
"Sophisticated cyber attacks are increasingly becoming the greatest threat to the future of electronic commerce here in the United States and around the world," Bono Mack said, "and that's why Congress -- as recommended by the Cybersecurity Task Force -- should take immediate steps to better protect the personal online information of American consumers.
"My legislation, the Secure and Fortify Electronic Data Act -- which establishes uniform national standards for data security and data breach notification -- provides those safeguards."
Among other things, the SAFE Data Act:
* Requires companies and other entities that hold personal information to establish and maintain appropriate security policies to prevent unauthorized acquisition of that data;
* Requires companies and other entities to begin notifying consumers 48 hours after alerting law enforcement officials and taking steps to prevent further breach;
* Requires all covered businesses to establish a data minimization plan providing for the elimination of consumers' personal information that is no longer necessary for business purposes or for other legal obligations.
"It's time to act now. In recent years, carefully-orchestrated cyber attacks -- intended to obtain personal information about consumers, especially when it comes to their credit cards -- have become one of the world's fastest growing criminal enterprises," Bono Mack continued. "At the end of the day, I believe my legislation will greatly benefit consumers, businesses and the U.S. economy. Given the growing importance of e-commerce in nearly everything we do, you shouldn't have to cross your fingers and whisper a prayer when you type in a credit card number on your computer and hit "enter.' American consumers deserve better."

Saturday Lol Figs #16
If in last week's post I wrote something about my lolfigs post series being my wishlist post too. Now let me tell you something. Lolfigs can also be seen as my way of parodying lolgifs. BTW sorry for this 'belated' lolfigs post series. Actually by the time of writing it's already Sunday over here but since it's still Saturday in the western part of the world then I guess it's OK. It couldn't be helped because I was working overtime 'yesterday' thus I didn't have enough time to write this post. If only figure.fm (Mirai Gaia platform) has scheduled posting feature like most blogging systems do then this would not be a problem. Well let's hope Danny Cho & co. will include that feature soon. After all 'Mirai' in "Mirai Gaia" means 'future', right?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, purebred, and up to date with shots.
NBR currently has 7 dogs who are living in boarding kennels.....Ava, Gustoff, Captain, Rock, Wilco, Tuck, and Phoenix. Sadly, we have not found appropriate foster or permanent homes for them.. The most disheartening thing about this situation is that all of these dogs have the potential to be wonderful dogs, but they can not seem to get a break. They have all been mishandled by people and because of this they are now considered "hard to place".
These dogs have trust issues because people have let them down and NBR is committed to rectifying the wrongs that have been done to them. We are looking for people to foster or adopt who genuinely want to help a dog in the truest sense of the word. Please do not consider taking any of these dogs into your home if you have a big ego or if you are not tolerant enough to allow the dogs to adjust at their own pace. These dogs need someone who understands that their adjustment period could be long, and they will need kind people who have lots of patience. Some of these dogs have been in a foster home previously but they "failed' because the people (who had good intentions) did not comprehend the commitment needed of them. Every time these dogs have a change they are set back in their progress so we are being very cautious about choosing homes for them. NBR will provide as much moral support as you need. We have been very successful turning dogs such as these around and you will need to be able to trust our recommendations and follow our lead.
Ava, Gustoff, Captain, Rock, Wilco, Tuck, and Phoenix all have much love to give, but they will expect you to earn their trust. They will no doubt teach you more about dog behavior then you will ever learn in a book, and you may learn much about yourself and other people as well. Once you earn their trust you will be blessed with a companion who will truly be your best friend forever, and you will be rewarded with the satisfaction that you truly made a difference in a needy dog's life.
Unfortunately boarding costs are expensive and they are draining our bank account. We have set up a Chip-In account to try and offset these expenses. If you cannot help us by taking one of these dogs into your home, please help pay for their expenses until suitable placements can be found. Every one of these dogs would have been killed if NBR did not take them into our rescue program. We feel that all of their lives have meaning and we are proud that we saved them. You can share in that pride by doing whatever you can to help.
Gustoff Is Adorably Cute But Requires Someone Who Understands His Needs
Gustoff was purchased as a puppy by a family who did not provide him with the proper socialization. His family loved him but did not give him appropriate attention. Their primary form of active interaction was throwing a ball for him to chase.
The reason Gustoff entered our rescue program was because he had a totally preventable incident with a young child. They had guests over, it was night time, and they were celebrating. Among the guests was a young child. Gustoff was in the midst of retrieving an apple that was thrown for him to chase, and the toddler approaching resulted in a nip.
The result is an all too common occurrence. Gustoff actually lived with a toddler and, although his family never experienced a problem with Gustoff's behavior towards their child, the wife became fearful and decided to drop him off at the shelter.
Gustoff was scheduled to be killed and Animal Control contacted us to see if we could help. We were his only chance. Once we heard the details of the story, we felt that this incident was the fault of the people rather than the dog, which is often the case.
Gustoff is initially timid and takes a little time to accept people. He is not the kind of dog you can rush up to greet. Once he gets to know you he becomes your friend and loves to play. His favorite game is pretending that you are the matador and he is the bull, and he will run full speed and continue right by you, then turn around.
He is fine with other dogs, however, he does not appear to show much interest in them at the kennel. We are not sure how he reacts to cats. An adult home with no children and a quiet low-key environment would suit him the best. Gustoff will also require a securely fenced yard.
Gustoff is definitely cute cute cute, but he needs a person who can understand that his needs will require more than adopting him because of his looks. Can you see beyond his adorable charm and nurture what he was meant to be?
12/12/09: More information coming soon. Gustoff is currently being boarded at a Doggy Day Care facility and could use your financial support to help cover his expenses.
Can you donate to help with Gustoff?
You can send a check directly to: Northeastern Boxer Rescue
P.O. Box 95 Sunderland MA 01375. or use PayPal
Jane Scott - email@example.com
Pam Fosco - email@example.com
Gustoff, a Sunderland Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Sunderland, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Sunderland.

I have been asked by a friend to set up my email so that he knows automatically when I have opened emails that he has sent me.
Anyone know how I do this?
on 16-07-2010 10h12
Usually the SENDER of the email can request a reciept in their email program that does this.
on 16-07-2010 10h20
In most respectable email clients, responding to such requests will be turned off by default, so the receiver will have to enable it.
How that's done will depend on the client software used.
on 16-07-2010 11h05
And if you set it up, you'll be sending receipt confirmations to everyone who emails you, not just one address. You might not intend that.
on 16-07-2010 15h27
That may - or may not - be the case, depending on the client software (we don't currently know what that is) and possibly how exactly it's configured.
Here, for example, I can have "respond to read-receipts" disabled or enabled. Disabled just ignores the requests. With the option enabled, I've the choice of always responding without intervention, or to ask for confirmation (send read-receipt - yes/no) every time, along with some other possibilities tied in with the address book.
It's also worth remembering that a response to a request for a read-receipt actually means it's been displayed on screen - not necessarily that it's been read ! Also that a non-response doesn't mean that it hasn't been read...

Do you mean BTYahoo! webmail, via a web browser ? If so, I believe the answer is no - you can't request a receipt.
If you're using an email application (Outlook/Express, Thunderbird etc) the answer's yes, but the procedure for enabling it will depend on the particular client used.
I am constantly being told that people are not receiving my emails so If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
I doubt that'll help much. If people aren't recieving your email, you'll get no delivery notification. Also, see above - most respectable mail clients have this feature disabled, so failure to get a notification of email delivery doesn't really tell you much.
on 26-07-2010 19h11
Yes i mean BT/Yahoo webmail. So there is no option for delivery receipts?
If i want to do this i will have to access my emails through a different programme? If so can you recommend one.
When i say people are not getting my emails there is no reason why they are not and i think that they maybe lying hence why i would like delivery receipts.
on 26-07-2010 19h20
even if you get a mail program that allows you to request a delivery receipt it is still up to the recipient of the mail whether they give one or not. I personally don't give receipts

There's something about using the name of another city or state to get people to buy your product. Philadelphia is used a lot, and so is New York. Still, it's odd to be wandering through the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania and see a place called Texas Hot Dogs.
Texas is a good name for a hot dog, though. Texas is a big state, and these hot dogs are as good as Texas is big. Since I grew up in Altoona, Texas Hot Dogs might have even set a standard in my brain for what a how hot dog should taste. Having my first Coney Island Hot Dog in the 1980s was somewhat of a disappointment. After all, if there's a bigger place, at least regarding ego than Texas, it's New York. And it would seem anything so famous must naturally be better.
But there was skin on the New York hot dog and funny curls at the end. Plus beans… like the kind in real chili. Texas Hot Dogs came with an all-meat sauce. New York had nothing on Altoona…well, at least as far as hot dogs go.
The first Texas Hot Dog I had was at a drive-in that no longer exists, on a stretch of road south of Altoona that was replaced by a Texas-sized highway. The small chain always has several locations, however, and a family feud of some sort has even brought about several different versions of the name. But the best place to get a Texas Hot Dog is on 12th Avenue in Downtown Altoona. On most days, in most places, most of the downtown Altoona is void of street life, but the immediate area around Texas Hot Dogs often hums.
There are two reasons why the 12th Avenue store is the best location. First, the place has been there the longest. The walls are decorated with old pictures of downtown, and the shelves lined with old soda bottles and remnants of the restaurant's past. Secondly, there's a big wooden barrel that dispenses red Pennsylvania birch beer.
The people inside seem to know the place as well as their kitchen. Some know it even better because while the secret sauce recipe is something many have tried to recreate, coming close is still not as good as the real thing. The people who work there seem to take special pride as well. It's not just a place to get a quick bite to eat. In a world of chains that are the same from Boise to Boston, Texas Hot Dogs is something that's as much apart of the city as the railroad that built it, or the Horseshoe Curve that visitors flock to town to see.
Though the storefront has been badly remodeled, the big glass window still provides a glimpse of the cooking hot dogs and steaming buns. The smell of the sauce blends with the onion aroma in the air to provide a good idea of what heaven is like even before you take the first bite. Don't worry; there's more to live for. A line of the zesty brown mustard makes the first bite even better.
If you can't get enough of the hot dog sauce, try a side-order of Texas Macaroni and cheese. One of the most bizarre, but tasty ideas, the thickly-cheese-coated macaroni, comes smothered with hot dog meat sauce.
Don't let the name Texas fool you. There can't be a hot dog as good in the Lonestar State, or anywhere else. And the name doesn't say a thing about Texas–these hot dogs are all Altoona.

"Closing time. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
This lyric snippet is from the 1998 song by the alternative-rock group Semisonic. It refers to closing a tavern at the end of a day. However, every establishment that is open to the public has its set hours, including grocers. Even in a 24-hour operation a produce department has what they call the closing shift.
I closed up shop for the first few years of my produce career. It takes a long time to build seniority and work your way into an early time slot.
The closing shift always started out busy. When I showed up for work in the afternoons, the store was always crowded. Until the dinner rush finally subsided around 8 p.m. or so, it was heavy stocking and rotating and, well, just plain hustling.
The only thing that was missing? The produce manager.
He doesn't get it
As clerks, we got to the point that we felt the boss didn't understand everything that had to be done at night. The expectations were very high: Stock everything just so, as well as sometimes unloading trucks or clean cases or — well, do whatever was on the to-do list.
After I became a produce manager a few years later, the memories of the closing shift were never far from my mind. To keep myself from getting overly complacent (and to show my part-timers that I wasn't soft) I occasionally scheduled myself right alongside them.
Once a quarter or so, I closed up shop, just like the old days.
I did it just like my youngest brother, who as a drill sergeant took part in PT (physical training) and trained with his raw recruits. Likewise, closing shop as a manager helped to keep up my ability to get everything done.
Better perspective
Closing a department as a produce manager also fulfilled a requirement we had — to occasionally work late. Though usually this meant a mid-late shift, it impressed the crew to see the boss tackle the "real" late shift. More than this, it was a good time to work with the younger clerks, to show them that all the things I asked of them were, in fact, possible. If I could show them the old man could take care of all the details and leave the department in great shape, they could too.
Working the closing shift also gave me a better scheduling perspective; what time the big rush hit and what time it subsided. It also provided a close-up of late-night stock conditions, and if my clerks needed more or less training. Closing up shop as a manager was good for morale and good for the department.
Occasionally, that is.

There I was, having a little snack and listening to yuletide cuts on my Billie Holiday Christmas CD -- "Gimme a Sleigh Ride and a Bottle of Beer," "Rudolph Sings the Blues," "Gloomy Santa" and the haunting "Strange Fruitcake" -- when it happened. I was contacted to speak with a TV producer and that very same producer offered me a few days freelance TV work -- paid work -- back on the original Island of Misfit Toys. Some of you call it Manhattan. I don't know how that executive producer found me but I'm glad he did. I am so grateful for this great opportunity. A brief return to New York City. Wow.
Anyway, I'll be off blog for a week or so while I gratefully rejoin the workforce for a few days. Until I return, I truly...madly...deeply wish you a wonderful holiday season. May your most special wish be granted. Thanks for the pleasure of your company.
