Resolved Question: what happens if a dog swallows part of a leash?

My 3yr old golden retriever was recently boarded at a ranch-type facility that advertises a "cage free" environment. A week ago, I had boarded her and my 8yr old golden just for the day and when I picked them up, they said the 3 yr old had chewed through her leash. I asked why she was even on one, and they couldn't give me an answer. This past Friday, I had to board them again, and they took them without their leashes this time. When I went to pick them up, I instead received a phone call from an unknown vet that my 3yr old was comatose and had suffered a heat stroke. She spent two nights in the emergency clinic because they couldn't get her temp stabilized and her blood vessels were bursting. By a miracle of God, she's home and recovering, but her platelets are completely depleted - her body is basically starting from scratch to reproduce them. Well, today, 3 days later, I am picking up her poop and there is a ~3in piece of leash in it! Now, I ask you, is this from a week ago or is it from this past weekend? Because the ER vet said that something lodged in her airways would have triggered the stroke as well. more

Resolved Question: What should i charge?

its 3.5 acres and just going to be my horse at home so i need to get someone else out there but i can not really afford another horse. i would just provide the hay and feed, clean up, feeding grain owner provides etc. hay around here for good grass hay is $6 a bale for what i feed my guy. i would also like to include the farrier into the price but not sure if its a smart idea ( the place my horse is now there is a mare with him who probably hasn't has her feed done is like 3-4 months) and i don't want that to happen on my property cause i get really angry when people do dumb stuff like that ( considering she isn't even shod she is barefoot) oh and also there are two stalls if they would like to use them but i will probably just advertise as pasture board and there are trails right across the road from our house. anyway what do you think i should charge? please feel free to ask questions in case i forgot something. more

Resolved Question: Does anyone know a free website that makes songs using words from various famous songs?

We had an English assignment to make a board game and advertise it. My friend made Product Mania. She made an advert on the computer which had lots of random videos and a backing track. The backing track was a song which went "product mania is fun for the whole family, the best game in the world!" or something like that, using snippets of other songs - for example, the "world" was from "We Are The Champions" - all strung together. She wouldn't tell me the website, but gave me a clue - it was free and she typed in "something like 'words to song' on the internet". I tried this but it doesn't work. I wondered if anyone knew such a website? Thank you very much for your patience in this badly-worded question! more

Resolved Question: What Do You Think Of My Suggestions On The YA Suggestion Board? ^_^.?

Also give any more suggestions if you can think of any or feel free to post your own on the suggestion board ^_^. You can find it here - http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&fid=200528 Or pasted below - I have a few suggestions for this - 1) I think it would be much better if YA was to give the option of Accepting/Declining contacts, as there are 'Troll Clans' who will report questions. I have had many questions removed falsely due to these trolls, which I have them appealed against and won. But it is still a hassle to go through. 2) Loosen up the rules such as 'chat', Yahoo Answers makes it's money through advertising, money the user provides by clicking advertisements. You should be thanking us, not punishing us. Many use YA for it's social side as well, and it is a bit over the top to punish users for friendly chatter when their is much worse being posted on YA. 3) IP ban for repeat offenders. There are trolls who have posted offensive comments for years on YA now, using multiple accounts, if not hundreds of accounts. I'm not saying IP ban those genuine users who may have been suspended multiple times, but for those trolls who continuously post, maybe their should be a 'three strike' rule, three accounts banned then IP ban? These are just a few idea's. Thank you! more

Resolved Question: I need advertising ideas QUICK! Can you help?

I run a educational theatre company and our first camp is coming up in three weeks. The problem is, we don't have anywhere near enough kids signed up for the camp! Right now we only have 4 kids signed up, and we need at least 20 to do the camp. A lot of people do sign up last minute, but at this rate, I think we'll only have 12-13. I'm maxed out on advertising ideas, I need your help desperately!! Here's what we already do: We send home flyers with kids through all the schools that will let us (which actually isn't that many, most tell us no) We are listed online in every place possible: our website, summer camp listings, classifieds, community calendars, so on We also pay for PPC ads on Google, Facebook, and Bing I've tried to find businesses to put up flyers, but there's not that many places I've been able to find with a community bulletin board (Whole foods, and a couple book stores is all I found). We're not allowed to advertise at the libraries-they advertise free events only on their boards. :( (If you happen to know of a chain business that has community bulletin boards, let me know) What can I do as a quick last minute (and inexpensive, we're a very small struggling company) to get more campers? We've tried sending press releases, but it didn't work. The only thing I can think of left to do is go door to door, but it seems like such a waste of time, because probably most of the houses won't have kids living there. What should I do?? Help me, we're getting desperate! (If it matters, we're in Tucson, AZ) more

Resolved Question: What is your TOP 10 website promotion list?

My TOP 10 promotion list. What is your top 10? 1. Search engines. 2. Forums and Message boards are a great way to promote your link. Just put the link in your signature. 3. Use Free Ad Boards. for eg. http://BusinessFreeAd.com or http://ovgo.com These are boards that you can post a text ad free for a pre-determined period of time, usually 5 to 10 days. Then your ad expires and you are emailed the option to re-post your ad free for another cycle. 4. Free classifieds are a fast and easy way for you to start marketing, especially if you're new to internet marketing. For eg. http://tumano.com , UsFreAds.com, etc 5. Pay per click (PPC) is now one of the most popular way to advertise in the Internet. Use Google Adwords, Yahoo! Sponsored Search, etc. 6. Social Bookmarking. Submit your links to social bookmark networks such as digg and del.icio.us 7. Use social networks such as facebook, myspace, linkedin, yuwie.com 8. Publish an E-Mail Newsletter. While it's a big commitment in time, publishing a monthly e-mail newsletter ("ezine") is one of the very best ways to keep in touch with your prospects, generate trust, develop brand awareness, and build future business. 9. Install a "Signature" in your E-Mail Program to help potential customers get in touch with you. 10. Write Articles for Others to Use in their Newsletters. One of the best means of marketing is by submitting articles to online article directories. Nr.11 Register a domain and redirect the visitors. It’s a lot easier for people to find you if you have your own domain name rather than anonymousblog.blogspot. com. :) more

Resolved Question: Has anyone other than me boycotted Yahoo?

Basically, I wanted to create two separate Delicious accounts, but since you need a Yahoo email address for each account, I just want to access my Yahoo mail conveniently through an email handler (such as Thunderbird). Who the heck wants to access each email address separately on the web? I just found out Yahoo charges $20 per year to have POP access to your email account (to access your email in Thunderbird or other email client) and to be able to automatically forward your emails to another address. I realize they by no means have to offer a free service, but when other excellent services are available such as gmail which are F~REE, (not to mention all the horrible pop-up help bubbles Yahoo use in their services), I have to say I'm done with Yahoo, Flickr, Delicious, and other Yahoo services. I hope others jump on board with me in order to change the way Yahoo approaches their business. Google does it for free with advertising and they make billions. more

Resolved Question: Is anybody else tired of the Income From Home commercials on talk radio?

Hi! I listen to talk radio all the day long, and I want to caution people against the Income From Home commercials. I won't name the company directly, BUT....it is secretly a company that has a name that starts with the letter H and has the word "life" in it's name. It is a rip-off. They tell half truths all along the enrollment process to get you on board, with the biggest half truth being an out and out lie. They will tell you over and over again that you don't have to sell any products. Then they reveal in a crafty manner...."Oh, we meant that the products sell themselves, so you don't have to be a salesman. These products are so good that people will buy them fast". Then the reality is that you have to make 50 calls just to get one sucker to agree to either buy a product or accept a "free" into dvd from you, with them paying the postage. They also promise you that they will help you make your sales calls (but they are careful not to use the word "sale" or "sales" and they tell you not to use that word, e.g, lie like all-get-out), but when you try to get them to listen in on a call to a prospective customer, they all tell you that they are too busy to run your business for you. Getting refunds on products is very hard. This is a cheap company that doesn't even have a toll-free number and all of their DVD's have a grainy, 1990's look to them. Do not fall for "Income From Home" on talk radio shows. And shame on these talk show hosts for letting this rip off company advertise. Has anybody else had this experience? more

Resolved Question: Is this situation considered "FALSE ADVERTISING" or Fraud or whatever?? Warning, mild NSFW(censored images)?

Is this situation considered "FALSE ADVERTISING" or Fraud or whatever?? *Warning, mild NSFW*(censored images)? If you guys dont mind a bit of mild nudity (fake drawn nudity, censored anyways), feel free the read THIS article to get a good grasp of the situation (the article if safe for work, some of the other contents in the site may sometimes be NSFW) http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/07/21… Anyways, for the benefit of those who cant or wont click the link, here's the basic outline of this "situation". An MATURE (as in rated M) game is made in Japan. Japan's ratings board or whatever makes it mandatory that some images will need to be censored when released. BUT, when a game is licensed OUTSIDE of Japan, ALL of the censorship is usually taken out, leaving a pure and uncensored piece of work. Anyways, this company, JAST, have decided to license and translate the game in question "Family Project". The company OFFICIALLY ADVERTISED that their translations will be COMPLETELY UNCENSORED. Many people, are of course happy about this and pre-ordered the game with that in mind. When the game comes out. The English Translation ended up EVEN MORE CENSORED then the original Japanese version!!! So to sum it all up: JAST advertise and acknowledge that their translation of this Adult Game is COMPLETELY UNCENSORED. But the product they sell to the product turns out to be EVEN MORE CENSORED then normal. Is this considered False Advertising?? Or Fraud?? Isn't this sort of shady practice you know....illegal?? Not the censorship, but falsely misleading the audience into buying your product. Also, I dont remember the censored portions being Illegal around here, I thought it was protected by an Amendment of some sort? More importantly.......what do you think of this situation?? Someone advertising something as uncensored, then releasing it censored. Now I know that "if you dont like something, dont buy it", but what about those who pre-ordered it?? Just opinions and thoughts. 4 weeks ago PS- Its hard to tell whether she was underaged or not, just indicates shes your sister in the game. Also, didnt the supreme court or something say this stuff was protected under some sort of amendment since it's jsut drawn?Way to earn two points without even answering the bloody question philip...and didnt I already mention NSFW? Stuart: Well then, this would definately be False Advertising wouldn't it? Isn't that sort of thing....illegal? Well maybe illegal is the wrong wording, but isnt there something WRONG with false advertising? more

Resolved Question: Made a huge mistake, should I feel bad?

My husband and I are offering free room and board and free utilities and use of our 2nd car in exchange for child care help which is not set hours but just being around during the day to help me if needed. We advertised our studio and found a girl but currently my mom decided she wants to stay in the studio and now we have to call the girl and tell her that my mom is going to stay in the studio but she can use the two extra rooms in our main house and have her own bathroom. I really feel bad that I have to tell her it's different then what we already talked about. What should I do? My husband says we are offering so much that she should still be happy. She gets two nice rooms to use in our main house instead of the studio which is about the size of one of the bedrooms just with an outside entrance. But I still feel like it will look to her like a switch and bad kinda thing. Reason my mom needs to stay in the studio is she goes to bed early and our sons crying may wake her up and she has insomnia. The girl goes to bed late and is a heavy sleeper. I just should never have offered the studio in my ad until I was 100% sure that it was not a problem for my mom. more

Resolved Question: I was recently asked to hand out flyers for a friend, should I mail them instead?

Or maybe both? I'm also trying to think of public boards I could post them on, but I'm not exactly sure where to start. His flyers are for window tinting, and they look good. They're printed on glossy paper, with bright ink, a 10% discount is offered on the front, has good information about UV protection and a potential $1500 tax credit, along with a phone number for a free estimate, and a before and after picture. So basically my point is, I think it's a flyer people will pay attention to, and I want to make sure I use it effectively. Eventually I'd like to step it to the next level and buy advertising in the newspaper and such, but you've got to start somewhere. Thanks! :) more

Resolved Question: Where does the law stand on Ebay post and packaging charges?

As some of you will know, Ebay have now started to enforce a policy of "free" postage and packaging on some catagories. As there is no such thing as "free postage and package" (ask at your local Post Office for full details) I have now started to offer my goods as Collection From Seller and giving the buyer the OPTION of paying to have the item delivered if they so which. Ebay have told me that this is against their rules but, from my rather basic knowledge of consumer law, I believe them to be on very shaky ground here. The reasons I believe so are these: First of all, Ebay DO allow "Collection Only" listings upon which a buyer can choose to bid or not. These are quite legitimate. Once a person chooses to bid on my item(s) they then become MY buyer, not Ebay's, as Ebay do not act as a trader i.e buy the goods from seller and sell them on to a third party. Secondly, once that person becomes my consumer (buyer) I am well within my rights to offer that person services (in this case postage) and they have the right to either accept my offer of service or refuse it. This is assuming that I didn't originally state that I would post the item(s) for free, which I didn't. The same law applies to trading across the board from my understanding. If for example, I went to a shop (or even car boot sale) and saw a fridge and paid for it, the fridge would then be mine, but that wouldn't give me the right to insist that it was delivered for free unless the trader selling it advertised it (or led me to believe) that they would do so prior to sale. Thirdly, again my understanding is that as they take direct fees from me for services provided, I then become THEIR consumer, giving me the legal right of access to continued services unless I break policy guidelines. I believe, as I explained earlier, that I am breaking none of their guidelines as prior to sale, I am offering my goods for collection upon payment with a post-sale option of paying for a service not offered prior to sale. Unless I'm mistaken, if the letter of the law is followed, Ebay would therefore be forced to withdraw ALL "Collection" items as this is the only way they could legitimately stop someone from offering an item as "collection" and then, through discussion with their buyer, offer a them a paid for service for delivery if they so wish? If anyone has experience or expertise in the matter I'd be glad to hear their comments, also people thoughts in general. Ebay are bad enough with making up the rules as they go along but, as a service-provider that charges payment for such, I feel that this time they may have sailed too close to the wind from a legal point of view. Ebay rules vs consumer law,... Consumer law wins by default,...... Regardless of what Ebay would like to think or have us believe. more

Resolved Question: Is a universal game console possible?

Seriously man, I can’t afford this crap anymore. 3 consoles is bad enough, and now I hear Apple is trying to prepare to make a console of their own. Not only do I have to buy three consoles in order to play all my favorite games, but I have to subscribe online for a fee in order to play Matrix: path of Neo because my new generation console doesn’t have backwards compatibility without a price. Dude, I’ll just illegally download this crap for free through ROMs and emulators. They can have 15 competitive consoles for all I care, I’m done with this crap, they can all screw themselves. Is there any reason why game companies don’t just go public, and start advertising their own emulator web sites, where if you subscribe, you can play their library of games on any hardware? They can own all their stinking hardware, I don’t even want a universal console in terms of hardware, they can keep on creating as many diverse consoles as they want, branching from sony, microsoft, nintendo, apple, and calvin klien, with as many new innovations as they want. But why can’t they give people like me, who are juggling college, attempting the idea of marriage, and barely getting by with a budget for room and board, with the consumer friendly option to just buy one console, and just subscribe to a Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo owned emulator site? more

Voting Question: Feedback Wanted: Job Board Pricing?

This question is for recruiters, employers, hiring managers, etc.... I'm in the process of launching a no frills online job board for lack of better words.

Resolved Question: Who would like to invest in New Zealand?

I would like to start off by saying that this proposed website has absolutely no competition. There is one other site that barely scratches the surface of my proposal, but is not user friendly nor is it in depth. My attempts to use it was so annoying (and irrelevant) that I gave up and I could not see any benefits whatsoever to any subscribers or users. We are looking for an investor, or someone who would like to invest in a website business. This investor may have IT skills to build the site, or maybe someone with a cash flow to get it up and running. I had advertised on a geek forum to try and locate a whiz with websites to no avail. I would prefer a New Zealand investor for the simple fact I want to build a working relationship with that person. Basic run down of my proposal. There are approx one thousand companies that this site is directed at. They will become users that log on to the site with their own user account. This login allows them to upload photo’s and txt. The next point is members (general public) join. This is a free site. Most members have a search capability only and limits visits to the site. However, some will insist on becoming paying members. This allows them to upload a photo and txt and have unlimited visits. The results of the members search, that information is directed to the user whom listed the query. This site has nothing what so ever to do with soliciting for clients, selling products, advertising products (although users can advertise) or a chat room type site, yet this site will attract many companies by the need of the service. It will become a tool in which they will all want to use on a regular basis and will become part of the routine. This is something unique and they will wonder why it has not been made available before. Income from the site comes from users listing fees, members fees and advertising revenue. User listings Type One cost $14.95 each. User listings Type Two cost $6.95. Membership (general public) is $19.95 and entitles them to one query. The beautiful thing about paying for a query listing is that it is an investment, it would slash losses off the bottom line for the users. This is a win plus for users and members. (Members also gain hard cash incentives that is not paid by our site) I predict 20 users listing Type One an average of 100 queries per month. $29,900.00 monthly. 200 users listing Type Two 5 queries per month $6950.00 per month 800 users Type One and Two queries 2 per month $16,000 per month Private members subscribing around 100 per month $2000.00 The first 2 months I predict we can get enough users on board producing an income of $13,000.00 for the two month period. The success of the site will promote itself. I foresee that the site could generate $55,000.00 per month after 12 months with massive potential for growth. There is no problem why this can not be introduced to Australia and beyond using our system. I will not beat around the bush, unless of course it is letting on about details of the website. I have come up with an awesome idea and have put the working model on paper. I have no way of financing the project, yet I have the time to do the footwork and market the site. I would need $5000 - $10,000 to get this into a marketable stage in exchange for a percentage of the company. Contact jomcl1@gmail.com for further information more

Resolved Question: Why is Nintendo being so greedy?

why is Nintendo being so greedy? Am I alone in my rage? Here is a copy of my email to Nintendo and their response about the Wii Fit plus being sold as a game and not a free upgrade to exsisting Wii Fit owners! Raging Wii Fitters unite! Please tell me that the reports I'm reading out of e3 are wrong regarding the wii fit plus. I have read that present owners of the wii fit are going to have to purchase the new wii fit plus. Is the correct? If so what a slap in the face to the consumers that you have ridden to surge ahead of your competitors. I personally have raved to all my firends what a great product the wii is and the wii fit has I my strengthened my belief. With the wii fit you deffinately get what you put into it. While it is good I was looking forward to an upgrade in regards to more exercises and setting up work outs. My feeling is that nintendo has an obligation to it's loyal customers to provide great customer service just as we have supported you in this horrible economic climate. The wii fit plus is not a new game but an upgrade of the exsisting game and thus should be treated as such. Computer companies provide service updates to their software as should nintendo. Learn a bit from Apple in this area as well as customer service and how to maintain brand loyalty. While the quality of the product has much to do with it the customer service and support are as equally as important! We put up with the subpar graphics for the fun that the nintendo brand stands for. My feeling is that if the report is true I will rage against nintendo as much as I was a cheerleader I will be an advocate against; you already shook me down for a game. Bundling the controller with the wii play; that was a ripoff but I swallowed it. I will not swallow this! Do right by those that have been and are doing right by you. Make the wii fit plus a upgrade available on wii ware to previous wii fit owners it fair and it shows gratitude for brand loyalty. I know I have given nintendo the best kind advertising by word of mouth and know of at least 5 purchases directly contributed to me and my praise of the wii. I do not wish to be let down by nintendo, please do the right thing! Nintendo advocate? Rich Hello, Announced at this year’s E3, Wii Fit Plus is a sequel to the run-away hit, Wii Fit in the same way the upcoming Wii Sports Resort is a sequel to Wii Sports. Despite what you have heard, it’s a stand alone product that will be available both with a Wii Balance Board included and in a game-only format for those that already have Wii Fit. The game itself will combine the original Wii Fit activities and selections from 15 new balance games and six new strength training and yoga activities. Users can now input the amount of time they want to spend on their workouts or select an area for personal improvement, and Wii Fit Plus will suggest a number of diverse activities for them. For the first time, users can mix and match which strength and yoga activities they prefer on a given day. The seamless exercise routines make it easier than ever for users to maintain their daily workout. I appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us regarding your concerns. Rest assured that your email will be forwarded on to the appropriate department for further review. Sincerely, R.M. Ricketts Nintendo of America Inc. more

Resolved Question: Where has freedom of speech gone?

I was banned from straightdope.com. The reason they gave me was: reopened closed thread. I did reopen a closed thread three days ago, because one of the moderators says that I had opened it in the wrong section. I opened it again in it's proper place and it stayed open for two days. A moderator and charter members even joined in. It was closed again due to wrong category, I complained and they asked if I would like it moved instead of closed. I said yes, it was moved and reopened by the moderator. Then I opened a new conversation: Title: The Click 101-Impressions vs. Clickthroughs and why you should click Getting your name out is tough these days. Raising enough funds for an excellent ad campaign can be exhaustive and making money off ads on your site without a airtight campaign is near impossible. Even search engine optimization (that creates sites that look like they were designed by mindless robots)to get a good page rank becomes less and less effective every time an engine gets updated. However, the system is flawed. Corporate America and the Advertising gurus have made an undeniable mistake, assumption. They assumed they could impress images and words about their products and ideas into the minds of the masses (approximately 90% of the time)without anyone clicking through. That's exactly what a impression is, an impression on your brain. A clickthrough is you clicking on a ad. They bet that the average human being will not click on the ads due to the speed of life, jealousy and other massive internal problems in Society as a whole. What does this do for them? It raises tons of money for companies selling adspace, which they make off of impressions(micro pennies on the dollar)while providing an inexpensive solution for their corporate(giant ants) clientele(5 million dollars for 5 billion impressions is a great deal for these money masters.). Meanwhile, millions of visited sites created by common citizens are being exploited. They pour their hearts and souls into these sites so that the masses(they hope)will enjoy their works. Then these diligent, hardworking little ants try to find a way to eat. Uh oh, here comes corporate America(giant ants)with some good news, "You can put our names and images on the face of every page in your entire web body and if somebody clicks on us we'll pay you a quarter." The little ant(common citizen)replied, "Wow, big brother, a Quarter, if I get three of those I can get a candy bar, thanks!" The little ants put their(big bother ant's)ads up and are immediately deemed sellouts by the crowd. Whether it be a nascar racer with too many stickers on his helmet, or a boxer, with Larry's Hardware on his a$$, that has no heart. The real sellouts are the manipulated masses that allow inexpensive to nearly free brainwashing through and by big brother ant(Corporate America) impressions. Here's the solution, exploit Corporate America back. Click on at least two ads or more that you see on every site you visit that allows you to absorb the little ants(common citizens)juices for free. Who cares if you're interested in what the ad that you're clicking on has to offer(these ads are still impressing into your brain, make them pay for those impressions)? Click, click, click, was that so hard(It's self satisfying and fun too!) Don't worry, corporate America will survive. Even if some of the old players get removed by the board and are replaced by new players. There's still a board and it's ok if some of the little ants become big ants and vice versa, just don't tick off the Anteater! So, join The Click and play the game. There's no membership required!Click, click, click! [close/] Twenty minutes later my account was deleted by people who claim to have been fighting ignorance since 1973.

Voting Question: Rabbit Rescue!? A few questions...(Any rescue can answer)?

So I have made the decision to start a rabbit rescue. Currently, I have name for my rescue and I have started using a free website service but will soon be upgrading so I can get a .com or .org on the end of it. The main thing I am lacking is the 501c3 status and I intend to get that through www.attorneyalternative.com. It will take a bit of time to get the funds available for that and until that happens I would like to go ahead and get my rescue up and going. I am using a through local advertising sites to get the word out about my rescue and as soon as I clear up a few loose ends in addition to the 501c3 issue I will start advertising on a broader scale. My main issues come from funding. -I would like to set up a paypal account and get the donate not option for my site. Can I go the bank and set up a new checking/savings account for the rescue without it being an "official" business? -With paypal, I have to select the business option, right? It asks a number of money questions and things of that nature. What do I put for those types of questions? -Are there any other ways that I can raise money without having a 501c3 status by using websites, etc? -Without a 501c3 status what is the best way to go about talking with a vet to try and get them on board with providing discounted services to my rescue?

Resolved Question: What a game!!!! (SQ Inside)?

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP)—If this was a dress rehearsal for next year’s World Cup, the United States showed it’s far from ready. The U.S. was hammered for the second time in a four-day span at the Confederations Cup, with Brazil outplaying the Americans 3-0 Thursday. Felipe Melo scored off Maicon’s free kick in the seventh minute and Robinho made it 2-0 in the 20th, completing a counterattack that began when DaMarcus Beasley and Landon Donovan failed to combine on a short corner kick. Maicon added the third goal in the 62nd. “They’re always going to be the better team, right?” U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “It’s just for us about going out and trying to give a good showing of ourselves because the best team doesn’t always win. Today it did. We were overpowered, and sometimes you just come up against Goliath and David doesn’t win.” Brazil outshot the Americans 23-9, including 11-2 for shots on goal. And the United States (0-2) finished a man short for the second straight game. Sacha Kljestan was ejected by Swiss referee Massimo Busacca in the 57th minute for a rough foul on Ramires. “He played the ball off before I got there and I got him in the foot,” Kljestan said. “I don’t know if it was a red or not, but the end state is that I let my team down today.” Combined with an opening 3-1 loss to Italy on Monday, the defeat put the United States on the verge of first-round elimination. While the U.S. plays Egypt on Sunday, the Americans would have no chance to advance if Italy gained at least a tie against the Egyptians later Thursday. Missing injured defenders Carlos Bocanegra, Steve Cherundolo and Frankie Hejduk, the U.S. has been shaky in the back. Melo’s goal marked the third time in four matches the United States fell behind within the first seven minutes. “It was a very nervous, tentative start to the game,” U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. “The early goal in a set piece put us in a difficult situation right from the start.” The U.S. has never overcome a deficit against Brazil, which improved to 13-1 in head-to-head meetings and has outscored the United States 26-8. The lone American victory was a 1-0 upset at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean. Brazil (2-0), the defending Confederations Cup champion and a five-time World Cup winner, opened with a 4-3 victory over Egypt and is virtually assured a berth in the semifinals going into its final first-round match, against Italy on Sunday. “For us it’s important to win all the time, for Brazil to win all the time,” said Brazil’s Kaka, the 2007 FIFA player of the year. “Spain is in a good moment, Italy is the actual World Cup winner, so we have a good challenge here.” Melo beat defender Jonathan Spector for the first goal, taking Maicon’s 25-yard free kick following a foul by Michael Bradley and heading it past Howard from about 5 yards. The second goal came on an end-to-end effort after Beasley fumbled Donovan’s short corner kick, the ball rolling past him. With Beasley slapping the ground in frustration, Andres Santos cleared to Kaka, who touched the ball to Ramires. He dribbled 50 yards upfield before dishing off to Robinho, who celebrated by faking an interview into a microphone at the advertising board to the right of the goal. Maicon got the third goal off passes from Kaka and Ramires, with the last pass bouncing off defender Jonathan Bornstein right by the goal. The closest the U.S. came to scoring was when second-half substitutes Benny Feilhaber and Conor Casey hit the crossbar in the final 10 minutes. “It hasn’t been great, these two games for us,” Howard said. “One of the things I always say is that if we can take this into the Gold Cup and World Cup qualifying and learn from some of the lessons and not be so naive in certain instances, it could be a success. But that’s only if you apply it, not just if we talk about it.” Your Thoughts? SQ- Will Mexico Qualify to the WC? more

Resolved Question: Internet Protocol Television Legal or Scam?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a system where a digital television service is delivered using Internet Protocol over a network infrastructure, that is, a broadband connection. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being delivered through traditional broadcast and cable formats, is received by the viewer through the technologies used for computer networks, all of which employ Internet Protocol and related standards such as SNMP. Most that I watch are legal and sponsored fron the TV guru from above. So many of you hard head heads think that is yo do pay for it, it is illegal. Many are p2p and are not illegal, they show ads, reduced and these people broadcast with permission form the networks. Many are advertised on TV itself, like HULU, Fancast, MYSop TVU networks. So why do so many of you think it it illegal?? YESSS there are plenty of bad apples out there that see you some software for 6000 channells for on$49.00 for life. These folfs are scams.

Resolved Question: How about this new Somali Cruise?

I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania). The cost is a bit high @ $800 per person double occupancy per day but I didn't find that offensive. What I found encouraging and enlightened is that the cruise is encouraging people to bring their 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have your own weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon as well as optional marksmanship training. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 days). All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package; * $800.00 US/per day double occupancy (4 day max billing) * M-16 full auto rental $ 25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor piercing ammo at 15.95 * AK-47 riffle @ No charge. ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball ammo at 14.95 * Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper riffle rental 55.00/day ammo at 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at 9.95 * Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour (spotting scope included). * Wow - they even offer RPG's at 75 bucks and 200 dollars for 3 standard loads * "Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am." * Meals are not included but costs seem reasonable. * Most cruises offer a mini-bar... these gung ho entrepreneurs offer......... get this..... * "MOUNTED MINIGUN AVAILABLE @ 450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire" * (Sign me up for that!) They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even claim "FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY" They even have a partial money back offer if not satisfied....here's some text from the ad. "We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money back including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini-gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted Hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots. We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia. At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before the end of May and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice." As if all that isn't enough to whet your appetite, there were a few testimonials; * "I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'll never hunt big game in Africa again. I felt like the Komandant in Schindlers list!"---- Lars, Hamburg, Germany * "Six attacks in 4 days were more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12yr old son sank two rowboats with the mini-gun. PIRATES 0 - PASSENGERS-32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English" - Ned, Salt Lake city, Utah USA * "I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM. Don't worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use and their squirrelly aim-reminds me of a drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam"-"chopper' Dan ----Toledo USA. * "Like ducks in a barrel.
