Oct 2008: Purchased a bluetooth 2.1 adapter at Fry Electronics store #31 (Downers Grove, IL)
Nov 2008: sent in completed $10USD rebate form within postmark deadline
Dec 2008: rejection postcard received saying "Purchase Date on Sales Receipt is missing" ... hmmmm, that seems....curious.
Called customer service. They claimed "a piece of tape obscured the purchase date on the reciept."
I explain that I used clear scotch tape. I am told the submission was "quality checked" by more than one individual and that the date was obscured by the tape.
I insist that I complied with their terms. Not yet finding my copy of the completed form, I ask if a copy of the credit card statement showing a purchase from Fry's would suffice. Manager says no.
I finally locate my scanned copy of the completed form. The form has the original Fry's REBATE RECEIPT attached which shows an "Exp. Date" of 10/14/2008 but has no purchase date printed on it anywhere. However, the rebate form does not spell out that a purchase date must be displayed on the receipt.
I ask if I can (re)submit this copy via email or fax. Manager says no.
After much discussion, agent #152 agreed to accept my statement over the phone that the purchase was made on Fri Oct 10.
Underinformed voters can be found voting for any candidate. However, as the questions progress in these interviews, the source of misinformation that has influenced these voters become quite clear.
Randomness: I thought the international crisis they referred to in the clip sounded very 911-ish.
On another note, I was very happy to pay just $1.79/gallon to fill up my tank, esp. since I get 5% of that back... thank you BP.
Has anyone noticed or heard about these predictions made 1-2 years ago by Peter Schiff that are all now coming true? Watch this little clip, especially towards the end...
His antagonists, even some from the above video, are now apologizing for laughing him off.
I recently bought a bunch of stock in this volatile market. You can make money on short sells if you watch it closely, but I'm thinking I'll take his advice and go more into gold (fund GLD) in the coming weeks. This guy obviously knows his stuff.
Also, I have heard from very knowledgeable people that the auto industry will, indeed, survive. They claim that the percentage of jobs maintained within it is so high that the government will not let them go down the drain.
Josh, I would not invest in Ford. I am however invested heavily in Cat as they have much more global potential and solid fundamentals as a company. I think its time for a change of the guard from Detroit-think to Silicon valley think when it comes to our automakers. The only innovation in that space in recent years has come from outisde Detroit.
My other risky idea, if I don't go with Ford, would be to sell Motorola short. I don't think that they will survive their current situation. The bad thing about that is it only takes one really good idea/innovation before they fall and they could jump back to the top.
This video shows an altercation at Palm Springs City Hall where prop 8 is being protested. The protesters, who appear to be all males harass and shout the following to an elderly lady and the reporter who is trying to interview her:
Get out of here! Get out!
You're an asian chick you should understand.
How many years of service did YOU give?
You stupid, stupid woman!
I'm not damaging anything!
We should fight!
Go home!
They all chant "Shame on you! Shame on you!" repeatedly
I'm not hurting anything!
Christian B#$%@#$
This older lady carries a large cross, which is summarily pulled out of her hand and trampled upon by the crowd of homosexuals.
It appears that it won't be long before we see forms of Genesis 19 and Judges 19 happening to our own country.
Amazing. People go looking for trouble, and then are shocked -SHOCKED- when they find it.
And of course the media likes to make a spectacle of it. I mean, what sense would it make to take the "poor, little, innocent old lady" to another location to do the interview? It's much better to stand there in the middle of the maelstrom, stirring up more trouble, right?
Its cold again, and so the outdoorsy stuff shall fall by the wayside and - geeks unite - the work on techy stuff has commenced once again. I will be spending more time on keeping http://parisavenue.org/ updated and such in the coming weeks, so stop by and give Rick Liggin's sermons a listen if you like.
I will probably also be tidying up the web site soon as well, so please bear with the changes.
My husband is interested in setting up a daily call line for our local congregation. Right now, it's likely to be just a verse-of-the-day, but at a later point the church may consider expanding the length/content of the outgoing message.
Currently, our home phone is also the main contact number for the church. We also meet at home. We would be setting up a new number based on our residential service, not for the church as a business. However, this new number would be used solely for the purpose of this "daily message" call line. Don does not want a technician to have to come out to our house to set up the wiring/outlet/whatever for the additional number because of the cost involved; hence the reason for wanting it to automatically go to a server somewhere.
What is the best way to go about doing this? Is this something that can be handled by VoIP technology?
