satsumas are a kind of clementine...they're from Louisiana, long story. my roommate had 50 pounds of them delivered to her and our room was invaded by them, lol.
I've updated the congregation's sermon audio page to include a slightly improved layout and instant playback. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions, problems or suggestions. Thanks.
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.
I'll believe it when I see the rebate check!
they will probably send you an expired rebate check
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.
What an interesting video - I'll have to show Ben. (We are down to $1.73 for gas - you guys are catching up!!)
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.
I have been tossing around the idea of buying some Ford stock, but it would be a very risky investment. Do you think the auto companies will survive?
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.
