Conservative Action Alerts: Obama Shuts Down Gibson Guitars of Tennessee

This sounds like something out of a novel, not real life. From Conservative Action Alerts:  Armed agents from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Homeland Security raided Gibson Guitar corporate headquarters in Tennessee and four of their factories, and confiscated 24 pallets of Indian rosewood and ebony, as well as guitars (more than $500,000 in products) and computer files. The raid cost Gibson more than $1 million in lost profits, because the company was forced to shut down production and send hundreds of workers home - after they were interrogated by Homeland Security. Yet to this date, NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED. Obama's D of Justice is stalling and forcing Gibson Guitar out of business ... or at least, overseas. Many have speculated that Obama is attacking Gibson because their CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, is a big contributor to Republican candidates...AND they operate non-union manufacturing plants. This might sound far-fetched at first, until one learns that Gibson

Health & weight: What is vanity sizing?

Health & weight: What is vanity sizing? When I was growing up, there were no clothes sized 0, much less 00. Something happened over the past few decades to cause the need for smaller sizes. The problem arose because manufacturers have been making women's clothes sizes fit increasingly larger bodies--a practice known as vanity sizing.

Eric Roper of Landmark Construction in Nashville: PLEASE FINISH THE JOB

Image
 This is my small mirror thumb-tacked to the wall of the small bathroom that has been without wallpaper and most fixtures for MONTHS which I am waiting for Eric Roper of Landmark Construction (who has been paid in advance) to get out here and finish the job . I am still trying to get Eric Roper of Landmark Construction in Nashville to return phone messages and email, even though I see him on Gmail when I am on (because his chat icon turns green and I email him at those times: Jan. 30, Feb. 5). What do you do when a contractors isn't professional or courteous enough to return calls on a job he hasn't finished and was paid in advance to finish?  Perhaps posting a message on my blog will lend some weight to my attempts to communicate. I find it hard to believe Eric Roper of Landmark Construction in Nashville is still dragging his heels on a job he was hired to do the summer of 2011 and paid a deposit on at the beginning of September 2011. His men showed up randomly and
