Disney Movie Rewards Review: Why Disney Can Kiss My A##

Are you one of those people who effortlessly sail through all transactions with companies: ordering from catalogues or internet sites, signing up for services, etc? Have you never had a problem buying something on EBay and everything you've ever ordered from Amazon has arrived in a timely and still-together manner? If so, you won't understand the rant I am about to make. And it's long-winded and full of inane detail so feel free to go make a cup of tea instead.

Because, you see, I am not one of those people. I follow instructions; I am everlastingly polite; I provide detail of my complaints. And yet I constantly and consistently have problems and then receive crappy customer service.

It's getting hard, really, not to take it personally.

We ordered a toy once from Toys R Us. It was a Christmas present for our son. We hadn't a lot of money; it was rather expensive and it was the one thing our son said he REALLY wanted. The rest of the things we got him that year were bought at the Thrift Store (yes, I give my children used gifts - they don't know the difference and if they did I doubt they'd care). It arrived 4 days before Christmas. The shipping label was stuck to the package of the toy itself (i.e. no outer packaging); the box was beat up; the toy was obviously used and was even covered in cat hair. I call Toys R Us thinking I'll get another one, an apology, and maybe even a coupon or something to make up for my troubles.

Instead I got stonewalled. Oh yes, they'd refund the price - once they received the toy back. Oh yes, they'd ship another one - if we paid for it. Oh no, it wouldn't be here in time for Christmas. I called customer service three times. I spoke to a manager. I began a facebook boycott campaign. I emailed every address I could find for management at Toys R Us. I called corporate headquarters.

Finally I got a response. But damn that was a stressful time. But yes, we did have a new toy in time for Christmas (and we got another new one as they shipped from two different locations in an attempt to make sure we had it in time; and they had us keep the old one; and they refunded our money - so please don't boycott TRU after all)

Last year, same thing, different store, less happy result. I ordered a Dora Toddler Canopy Bed for my daughter. It arrived Christmas Eve (ordered two months earlier) and it was a Power Rangers toddler bed in a lower price range. I politely asked for them to give me the proper one. They said there was no way they could. They admitted it was thier fault but nothing they could do. I cried. They eventually agreed as a "special favour" to refund me the money so I could attempt to get a last minute gift for my girlie rather than have to wait for them to reorder the item.

Sigh . . .

I should have known, really, that Disney would be no better. I've had problems with the Disney website. For some reason when I sign up for things their system just refuses to acknowledge the existence of my city. It doesn't exist, though I do. I had the problem trying to shop at their site and they quickly fixed that (after all, they were getting my money) but anything else, I've had to try and try again to get it fixed. You'd think once they fixed it once that would be it. But no. Disney runs ten million websites and each is managed mangled differently.

Over a year ago I tried to sign up with Disney Movie Rewards (I won't link to them because I now hate them). It's a site where if you purchase a Disney movie you can enter a code and collect points for free merchandise, subscriptions, or movies. Now we don't buy many Disney movies, really, but we do get them as gifts. So I had codes for about 6 movies.

But of course, I couldn't sign in. For months, off and on, I'd try; it wouldn't work; I'd contact customer service for help; they'd tell me I had to check my login name or reset my password. But that wasn't the problem; I'd tell them so; and I'd get the same form response.

Eventually I gave up. They weren't worth it I thought. Then my cousin mentioned the great things she gets from there. I told her my troubles. She suggested I try again.

And you have to read this. Please do read my emails to them as I don't believe they ever did.

On Feb 11th I used a form on their site in a desperate plea for help:

> Name: Dara Squires
> Issue Type: Entry Instructions

> Deploy Path: disney/movierewards

> message:
This will be my 4th time contacting SOMEONE at Disney about this problem. For over a year I've been trying this. I have NEVER received any help, just told to do what I've already done. Can you PLEASE help me????? At this point I've thrown away my codes and have proclaimed this site hopeless, but my cousin has convinced me to give it one more try. I CANNOT login. I'm a registered disney member but when I try to sign in to your site I'm asked for my home address. Yes, I have a valid street address, but your system refuses to acknowledge it. I had this problem on another of the disney sites and the tech team was able to fix it for me right away. I've used this form to contact you at least twice as well as using a form on the disney home page. PLEASE! I have a valid street address that your system will not recognise. Can't you do ANYTHING?!? I have 6 disney movies here that came with codes that I have since thrown away in disgust with this site. Please help me so I can at least redeem future codes.
A week later I get this response:

Do you get the feeling that might be a form-response? I did because it word-for-word matched the response I'd gotten the previous 4 or 5 times I had contacted them. And I love how they're basically saying "you're an idiot who can't remember your login so here's the idiot's guide to logging in."

So back to the drawing board. I responded again. But this time I also sent my cousn the email. She's a Disney Insider. She knows people. She sent me the contact information for the tech team. She's smart.

So this is what I sent back to them. I'm getting a little peeved at this point. Can you tell? Probably not, I'm too darn polite sometimes. I sent it same day the sent it to me.
From: Dara Squires
To: Disney Movie Rewards
Subject: Re: Entry Instructions/Disney Movie Rewards: The Official Website

Please this is the same response I got before. It is not my member name that is the problem. It's your address system! Can you check with your tech people, please!

I log in and it tells me to complete my log in I must enter my address. I enter my address, a valid street address in Canada and press submit and it tells me again that I must enter my address. Your system refuses to acknowledge my address. I enter it again, press submit again and am directed to enter my address again.

For a year this has been going on. I keep trying, I email you and I keep getting this response. My username is not the problem. Your system is! I had the same problem on the disney shopping site (I think it was, though it may have been another aspect of Disney) and the tech team was able to go in and somehow enter my address so it would be recognised.

I'm sorry if I sound a little peeved here, but this is the second time I have received this same email verbatim and both times I felt that I had made it clear that it is the address system that is the problem.
I even apologise for sounding a "little peeved." Yup after a year and a half of the run around and being subtly called an idiot, I'm the one apologising to them!

In the meanwhile, my cousin came through with the address for the tech team and I sent them the same email including details of the exact site where I encountered the problem, my full postal address, and all the ways I had already attempted to resolve this glitch. I won't include that email here, because it has some personal details in it. But I sent it to the DMR Customer Service people at the same time.

A couple days later I get this sensible, short, to the point response from the tech team:

Hello Dara,

Thank you for your letter.
We have updated your address on your account and in our system.

Best Regards,
Disney.com Guest Services
And it's true. After a year and a half of being stonewalled no matter whom I contact, it was that easy. I can now log in.
So, happily ever after, right?
Not really. Because then, over a week after I sent the second email, and forwarded the one I had sent to the tech team, to the Disney Movie Rewards Customer Service people, I get this response:
Dear Dara,

Thank you for your email about logging into your Disney Movie Rewards account.

We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulty logging in and we are happy to help. If you are unable to retrieve your password and would like to have your password reset, please follow the steps below.

The Disney Movie Rewards Consumer Relations Team
WTF?!! Really, did my emails to them seem to you like I was having problems with my user id or my password. Have I been that unclear? They do speak English at Disney, right?

So I just sent them this response:

To Whom It May Concern (and I DO think a manager should read this),

I contacted the website tech team myself after hunting down an email address. You have been completely unhelpful. I don't think you've even read my emails.
Seriously, is this what you call customer service? Over a year later and you're still sending me the same nonsense response after probably 6 attempts now to get this fixed.
You've frankly turned me off Disney movies altogether so I doubt I'll ever need to log in anyway.
Congratulations on driving away a customer who was trying so hard to get in!

Not yours,
What I should have sent them was the simple statement "Kiss my A##" but I'm too polite.

However, as I have been typing this blog,  guess what? I got another response! Instead of a week or more it took only an hour for them to respond this time! What do you think it was!?! An apology? An offer for free merchandise? An angry response to my angry response?

No. None of the above. It was the same GD form response they sent me the first time.

And now I'm thinking I will send them that email that says "kiss my a##." No one's going to read it anyway. So it's not really impolite, right?

Am I the only person this happens to? All I can think is that this is karma kicking me in the a## for being a telemarketer in a previous life.

I probably don't need to mention this, but this was not a sponsored review. I received no renumeration or free gifts for writing this. I did recieve a pain in the a## however. Does that count?

  1. what a *swear word* load of *swear word* *swear word*

    Couldn't find their behind with both hands.

    I'd never heard of Disney points but i think i'll be saving myself the hassle and not looking for them.

  2. I've had similar experiences with another global company *cough*ebay*cough with the auto-response emails. It took about three months to sort out an issue that I knew could have been solved in seconds.

  3. Am sorry for your pain, but am LMAO!!!!!!!!

    I think your are just jinxed! LOL! (Either that or they want to give you something to write about, maybe even incorporate into your book!)

  4. I so am jinxed.
    Sadly this is just the kind of thing to send me off my rocker moaning and wailing that "nothing is EVER easy for me!"
    This time I decided to get angry instead of waily. Sent them this blog post. Think they read it?

  5. DMR took over 8 weeks to even ship my redeemed rewards and didn't seem to respond to what I actually said to them either. They sent an email confirmation of my order explaining my order would be shipped in 6-8 weeks and that I would receive a shipping confirmation when it was. I wrote them March 3, 2012:

    Topic: Getting Rewards
    Text: I'm wondering where my redeemed rewards are. I redeemed my points January 4th of 2012 and ordered the Beauty and the Beast jewelry box. It has been 8 weeks and 3 days since I ordered them and I have not received a shipping confirmation or the item yet. The reference number is: (I gave them the ref#)

    On 3/05/12 I get a response:

    Dear (my name),

    Thank you for your email regarding the status of your redemption for Collectibles Keepsakes Box: Belle. Our records indicate your order was received 1/4/12. At this time your order has not shipped. We appreciate your patience as we are still processing your order.

    When your order ships you will receive a shipping confirmation email and your order should then arrive within the following 14 business days.

    Once again, we appreciate your patience as we work diligently to process your order.

    We value your membership and interest in the Disney Movie Rewards. If you have any further questions, please contact us at DisneyMovieRewards@Disneyhelp.com.

    The Disney Movie Rewards Guest Relations

    So they're not sorry that it is taking them longer than the longest time they said it would take to ship my order, they do not apologize or admit that it is taking longer than the longest time frame they give themselves, instead they appreciate my patience. In other words, "Shut up b&%@#, we'll send it when we damn well please".

    The next day(March 6th) I receive my shipping confirmation. I think if I hadn't said something my order would have sat with another list of orders somewhere of people who never complain that they haven't received their stuff and therefore never get their stuff because they are the type of people who wont complain about that sort of thing. DMR is a scam! You don't get your stuff unless you complain!!!

    On March 15 2012 I finally received my jewelry box! It took them 3 months and 11 days to get me my order. I mean really all that propaganda and enthusiastic advertising for their program and "Get free stuff!" bulls*%# and then they don't even give you redeemed rewards unless you complain and you get it in 3 1/2 months after you ordered it. What is the point? I might die before I receive my rewards. Save yourself the energy. DMR sucks.

  6. *Correction: 2 months and 11 days and 2 1/2. My bad.

Have something to add? Let us know:

Monmouth Homes for Sale and Real Estate

Area Description

Monmouth has a population of just under 10,000 and is located 16 miles southwest of Salem. The city was named for the hometown of its early settlers (Monmouth, Illinois) who arrived in 1853, apportioning 640 acres to build the city and a church-run college, Monmouth University (now Western Oregon University). No structures from those early days remain, but its main downtown street, appropriately, Main Street, is scattered with late 1800s-early 1900s buildings.

The oldest structures existing today are the 1869 Craven House on east Main Street and Campbell Hall, built in 1871, on the Western Oregon University campus. The city’s focus on community parks notes Gentle Woods Park and Madrona Park but highlights the newly refurbished Main Street Park, with its amphitheater, gazebo, chock-full events list and location in the heart of the city. Monmouth’s government works closely with neighboring Independence, such as the sharing of a high-speed broadband network.

I advocate the use of Lavasoft’s Adaware (I’ve gone so far as to become a reseller of their Plus version). I also highly recommend Spybot Search N Destroy. I have always been very wary of other programs as potential trojans claiming that they are scanning when in reality they are installing or removing all but their own adware or spyware. I just found a fantastic list of such evil programs. I know nothing about spywarewarrior but this list will be read by me quite a bit now.

Banks Are Looking Spiffy Again

This earnings season, one of the early emerging themes is that major banks' results are coming in better than expected. Wells Fargo (WFC) reported solid numbers last Friday. Citicorp (C) easily beat expectations on Monday, and the bank also announced a long-awaited mortgage settlement with the federal government for some $7 billion. This was a hefty number, but it was far less than what the government had originally targeted. Today we have JPMorgan Chase (JPM) blowing through both top- and bottom-line consensus, and the stock is heading higher.

The financial stocks were underperformers in the first half of the year, when they collectively posted slightly negative returns as the S&P 500 rose some 7%. But, as I look at the earnings coming from major players in the sector, I'm thinking that maybe sentiment has become too negative on this space. There should also be a high probability of rising interest rates on U.S. Treasuries in the second half of the year, given the accelerated economic growth, and since the Federal Reserve is set to finally exit its quantitative-easing programs in October. This will be good for banks' net interest margins, and for returns on insurers' investment portfolios....354 more words left in this article.

Thursday's Market Review

Traders love gaps, especially when they occur in the traditional sense and open entirely above or beneath the prior session's range. We love gaps for one reason: They indicate a dislocation in perceived (or prior) value. In simpler terms, opening gaps signify imbalance, and that generally yields an opportunity filled session....823 more words left in this article.

Feet in the Dirt

Have you put your feet in the dirt lately? Did you know that the earth carries a negative charge, and that you may actually feel better if you take five or ten minutes to stand barefoot in the dirt (or even in the grass)? Some people call this “grounding”, and for myself, has been a wonderful way to feel better after staring at a computer screen, or being on a cell phone, all day. Most objects on the ground carry a positive charge, and so by actually physically connecting with the earth, you can “stay balanced” electrically (we are energy).

The earth, and us as human beings, have an amazing connection. Just like we depend upon the earth (and universe) for energy to power up our computer and phones, we also rely on the earth to feed ourselves, and to of course, to have a clean water supply. There are many people in our country, who do not have the time to go and take their shoes off to stand in the dirt – there are arguably people who have never touched the earth’s surface with their bare feet – and it is my hypothesis that this creates people who are out of touch with the planet – literally and figuratively.

Until to put your feet in the dirt, or take your shoes off and put your feet in a stream or creek – you may not realize just how powerful the phenomena is. It is my goal to get as many people as possible taking their shoes off and taking 10 minutes to stand in the dirt. If you can actually get out on a trail, out of the city, that is even better. If you can put your hands in the dirt too, and plant something or grow something to eat – that is the next step to connecting to your power source – agriculture. But just a little bit helps – I bet you will see positive health benefits.

Women In Charge – Putting Ourselves in Charge of Birth, and Control

There was a meme, it said, “If you didn’t want old elitist men making health care decisions – you shouldn’t have put the federal government in charge of the health care system”.

This transcends the puppet-show of “Right” versus “Left” – “Republican” versus “Democrat”.  This is about common sense.

When it comes to a woman’s body (or, any body for that matter) – the government (a collection of individuals who use taxes, law, and force to implement policy)  shouldn’t have any control.  Period.  When government (which, currently, in our country, is a large portion of old, elitist men – both Republican and Democrat) decides what you can and can’t have for your health – this can be really dangerous for women.  Why in the world would we let them decide what is best?

A woman is best served when she is in complete control of her body. her health care, and her decision whether or not to take birth control.  It being her responsibility, it should be a right to be able to pay for that – without the government being involved.  It is a service, a choice, a health-care decision. and something that strong women would WANT to pay for.  Being able to pay for it yourself means that no one can tell you what you can or cannot do – it is your money, your body, your pocketbook.

If women were able to keep more of the money that they earn (e.g. abolish the federal income taxes that go to nothing of benefit to Americans and women), then they could make a lot more choices what they do with that money.  It should never be in the government’s hands.  And, it should never be in a corporation’s hands.  People should always be able to make a personal choice what they do and don’t want to do with their body – taking healthcare out of the federal government’s hands – is a great start to protecting women.

Old, elitist men, who refuse to bring in the next generation of leaders and instead have decided to die in their chairs, sitting in Congress – doing NOTHING for the young people of this country – will not fix our problems.  It is up to us.  And if we wan’t to find solutions, we are going to have to get rid of the puppet show that the Republicans and the Democrats are putting on concerning health care.  Women could be very good leaders by taking responsibility for their health care and getting important decisions out of the government’s hands.  It is your morality, your money, your body, your pocketbook, your natural right – protect it – and get government out of it.

In Celebration of the Pink Ribbon – Let's Ditch It

I disrespect people and organizations that say they stand for something, but do not actually follow through with what they say their mission is.  The Pink Ribbon propaganda is one that really irritates me, because regardless of the amazing amounts of money that they raise – they just raise “awareness” of the disease – little to none of this goes into finding a cure.  And what is more sad, is that there ARE cures – and they are not promoted by the Pink Ribbon cause – nor by people in government in the “health” field.

The federal government has stopped cures for cancer from entering the marketplace.  Want an eye opener?  Read World Without Cancer (1974) by G. Edward Griffin about laetrile (Vitamin B-17).  And watch “Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business“.  By neglecting proven results of cures, and instead, propagating poison – there is blood on the hands of many people who made these decisions to stop sound science at the FDA and the federal level of government.

And what is the best cure for cancer?  Why, prevention.  While scientists are smashing atoms together at the speed of light (Large Hadron Collider) – you mean to tell me that we don’t know what causes the deformation of cells?  Come on people.  In many, many cases we can absolutely stop cancer from starting by eating nutrient-dense foods and keeping our body in an alkaline (not acidic) state.  For women, other things to consider is to ditch your deodorant and antiperspirant that has aluminum-based compounds (which are carcinogens in the human body).  And be wary of those wire-bras that poke into your sensitive tissue or create circulation issues for more than 8 hours at a time.  Don’t be afraid of what cancer is – our bodies are amazing machines and can stop disease and heal from disease.

Why wouldn’t the federal government want an inexpensive and scientifically sound cure?  Why would the federal government allow genetically modified organisms into our food supply without giving the American people a choice? Well, probably because big-pharma and big-agriculture would lose out on A LOT of money.  If there are no sick people to treat – how will big pharmaceutical companies that have their lobbying and legislating tentacles around the necks of federal health agencies make their money?  To them, sickness, disease, and dependency upon a centralized food supply means a healthy bottom line.

In celebration of “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”, I propose that we become aware of: actual cures, of cancer prevention techniques, and of the corruption inside the FDA and federal level of government that promotes disease and poison through its actions against cures, like that of Dr. Burzynski – not to mention other cures that exist and that doctors are too afraid to discuss.  Let’s ditch buying items with this little pink ribbon on it, and instead find a local farmer and producer to buy our food from, so that we know the food is clean.  Let’s work on getting our bodies more alkaline and less acidic by changing our diet.  And let’s make a promise to support organizations that really stand for what they say they do.

Collection Tip - Coping With the Crazed Debtor

If you have been in the collection industry long enough, odds are you've had this kind of a call -- a consumer gets so emotionally wound up that they become impossible to speak to, and start spewing vulgarities, or hanging up and repeatedly calling back and screaming.  And there's usually a reason for it.

I'm not necessarily suggesting that the collector has done something wrong -- sometimes, you've just called at the wrong time.  Or perhaps your tone unintentionally set the consumer off.  So what do you do now?

Who Is In Charge Here?

If you failed an exam, didn't pass your driving test, got a speeding ticket, missed handing in your homework, or didn't take out the trash, you couldn't lash out and scream at your teacher, policeman, or parent, so why should anyone think that yelling at a collection agent will make a debt vanish?  Really, it's not about emotions, it's about authority -- the first thing you need to do is calm everything down, give the consumer options, but establish your authority position.

You cannot re-establish authority by yelling, by threatening, or by responding with emotion.  There's a right way and a wrong way to calm things down.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Sometimes a consumer think (or have learned from personal experience) that an emotional reaction resolves issues.  If they scream at you and become difficult, you will go away.  Or if they can evoke an emotional response from you in return 'they've won' -- which would be correct.  They would be in control of the conversation.  For these reasons, you need to keep your cool.

Try saying:

"Frank, I appreciate you are very emotional about this debt.  I want to work with you, but we can only discuss this business issue when we are both able to talk about it rationally.  Can you take a deep breath and work with me here, or do you need a day to gather your thoughts and financial information and call me back?"

Like A Merry-Go-Round

Another situation that can happen is a consumer can call your office back over and over and over, irrationally shouting or making demands.  The most important thing you can do is answer the phone, put the issue back to a choice for the consumer, and regain control of the situation.

Try saying:

"Mary, you have called my office five times in the last half hour.  Obviously you are concerned about your debt to ABC Bank.  As I said in the first call, we need to determine if you are going to cooperate on this.  Your actions seem to indicate that you aren't capable of making arrangements.  Shall I report this to your credit bureau this afternoon, and we can conclude our conversation?"

Whatever you do, don't route the call to a supervisor, don't avoid the call and let it go to your voice mail, and certainly don't react emotionally showing frustration to the consumer.  If you do any of these things, you are in fact rewarding their behaviour by giving them a potential response they are looking for.  Stay calm, and be patient!  However, if the call is going nowhere, by all means politely terminate the call.

Was It Something I Said?

If a call starts slipping into chaos, take a quick second and be honest -- could you have overstepped some boundary or set the customer off?  Did you sound too aggressive, or cut the customer short, or not show appropriate empathy for their situation?

If it's possible it's your approach, you can backpedal and start over without losing authority.  Try saying this:

"Allan, it's possible that we got off on the wrong foot here.  It's not my intention to upset you -- in fact, this is a courtesy call to try to reach out and work out this matter amicably.  Let's try starting over.  As I first mentioned, my name is John Jones and I'm calling from ABC Collections on behalf of XYZ Corporation ..."

They Still Got Under Your Skin

Sometimes, advice that you need to stay calm is all well and good, but every once in a while, a debtor can push a button and upset even the most experienced collector.  If you find yourself losing your cool, or actually getting angry, you need to end the call as professionally as possible, and go take a five minute walk and calm down.

No call is worth throwing out your professional demeanor.  Walk it off, and move on.

If you are unable to deal with a consumer constructively, it's time to take action, escalate the file to the next step, or even just have it moved to someone else.  We are in a business of collecting on accounts, not emotionally slugging it out with customers.  It's not worth it to your well-being, your company's reputation, or the reputation of your client the creditor.

What's Your Story?

Everyone who has been in the collection business has a story of a collection account gone awry.  Going back almost 20 years, I was dealing with an escalated call from a provincial professional sports celebrity who got so upset that we had the audacity to call him, he actually showed up at our collection agency office.  He was incredibly angry about his $400 cable bill, and demanded to see me in person.  So I went out to the lobby and met with him.  He could have picked me up with one arm.

After five minutes of taking the 'let's start over' approach, showing him a copy of the statement from the cable company, and explaining we could have affected his credit bureau without calling him, I had him calm enough to make his own decision on the file -- I told him we never had to talk to each other again after that day, but what happened tomorrow depended on his decision.  He paid the bill, and shook my hand.

Anyone have a story about an emotional debtor, and how they managed to calm them down?

Dinosaur feathers found in Alberta amber

By Emily Chung, CBC News | Posted: September 15, 2011 10:02 AM MT

Feathers believed to be from dinosaurs have been found beautifully preserved in Alberta amber.

The primitive, hair-like feathers known as protofeathers likely belonged to theropods — dinosaurs similar to tiny Tyrannosaurus rexes — that roamed the swampy forests of Alberta 80 million years ago, said Alexander P. Wolfe, a University of Alberta earth sciences professor who co-authored the research published Thursday in Science.

"Protofeathers aren't known from any modern, existing groups of birds and therefore the most obvious interpretation is that they belong to dinosaurs," he said.

Theropods, which are thought to be closely related to modern birds, were already known to have feathers, based on features surrounding fossils found in China. But a lot of details were lost in the fossilization process.

"The feathers get altered, they get substituted by minerals and you can't see any of the detail," Wolfe said.

Hair vs. feathers

The protofeathers may look very hair-like, but the researchers confirmed they were feathers by looking at them under a microscope, Wolfe said. Hair, found on mammals, has microscopic scales. Feathers, found in birds and dinosaurs, have features called nodes and internodes instead.

"With amber, it's different. We actually have the actual object.… we actually have this protofeather for the first time in the flesh."

any modern bird, but are similar to those seen
in fossils of therapods. (Science/AAAS)

The feathers are preserved down to the pigments that show what colour they are and microscopic details of their structure.

Based on the fact that the protofeathers were just single filaments or clumps of filaments, just two centimetres long, the researchers concluded "these had nothing to do with flight," Wolfe said.

Instead, he believes they were used to keep the dinosaurs warm.

The protofeathers were among a wide range of feathers found in Alberta amber specimens by Ryan McKellar, a researcher who recently completed his PhD under Wolfe's supervision. McKellar's research was initially interested in insects, but stumbled upon some very bird-like feathers in the process of sorting through amber from the Royal Tyrell Museum and the University of Alberta's collection, Wolfe said.

He decided to keep an eye out for other feathers. After sorting through around 4,000 chunks of amber, each less than two centimetres in diameter, he had collected a wide range, from the protofeathers to more complex feathers from the same time period that were most certainly from birds.

Some were downy "like the kind you have in your pillow," Wolfe said. Others look like modern flight feathers. Some also had special features found in diving birds such as grebes.

feathers on the head, neck, back and tail.
However, many of the details have been
obscured by the fossilization process.

Wolfe, an expert in amber chemistry, said such birds likely shared the same ecosystem as the dinosaurs — a steamy, "very buggy" coastal forest similar to Florida's everglades, dominated by cypress and cedar-like trees. The remains of the forest were compressed into coal deposits in Alberta where the amber samples were found.

Wolfe said now that the new research, including photographs, has been published, he hopes researchers in other parts of the world where feather dinosaur fossils have been found will start keeping an eye out for dinosaur feathers in amber. He also hopes to do a biochemical analysis on the proteins in the feathers.

How To Find Low Interest Personal Loans For People With Bad Credit

Written By ipink edy on Sunday, March 12, 2017 | 10:59 PM

Non-traditional lenders sometimes mislead borrowers when they offer real no credit check loans. There is also the filial responsibility� law that could hold your adult children responsible for paying back loans that are related to medical or long-term care. When looking for a personal unsecured loan with adverse credit there are a variety of things which must be considered.

Short-term loans should be used for short-term financial needs only, not as a long-term financial solution. As long as you have proof of ownership of your vehicle and possess the documents to show that it is paid off or nearly paid off, lenders will be happy to give you cash against your car title.

And so these loans are popular among investment firms, REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), TIC (Tenants in Common) companies that invest in commercial real estate using funds pooled from various investors. The investment loans may be used either as foreign currency indexed or in New Turkish Lira.

A 2009 study by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Professor Adair Morse 51 found that in natural disaster areas where payday loans were readily available consumers fared better than those in disaster zones where payday lending was not present.

Lenders do not totally disregard�your credit score as an approval criteria, but they are likely to be willing to provide you with payday loans even if you have bad credit score if you can demonstrate your financial capabilities to pay them back. Unlike a debit card withdrawal, where you're accessing your own funds, with a cash advance, your credit card company is essentially lending you money and charging your account.

A Review of Deep Church: A Third Way Between Emerging and Traditional

We are living in a time of profound cultural change. Postmodernism has made its imprint on our society’s worldview, and its effects are noticeable practically everywhere. The church is not exempted. Many are the complaints the “traditional” church hears about its perceived shortcomings, such as its modernistic intellectualism, its individualism, tribalism, tardiness in interacting with the prevailing culture, tendency to fragment, and intolerance of the views of outsiders. In the evangelical world the discontent has given rise to a separate movement, that of the emerging (or emergent) church. That movement, which is steeped in the postmodern worldview, is spreading widely and is affecting not only evangelicalism but other churches as well. That is not surprising, since it is in accord with the prevailing climate of opinion. Some authors therefore predict that its features will become the “new normal” of the Christian church in the West. Is that disturbing? If so, what should be our response? Should the entire movement be rejected as apostate, as conservative commentators tend to think, or are some of its aspects worthwhile?

Jim Belcher, pastor of a PCA church in California, proposes a “conservative” answer to these questions. A one-time member of the movement, Belcher believes that the emerging church asks some legitimate questions that deserve the traditional church’s positive attention. He also, however, enumerates its shortcomings and relates that in the end, because of what he calls his “Calvinist misgivings,” he left the movement. He describes the weak and strong points of the emerging church in a recently published book, entitled Deep Church: A Third Way Between Emerging and Traditional (IVP, 2009), which is written as the record of his spiritual journey from a traditional evangelical church (Southern Baptist) via the emerging movement to his work as a PCA church planter and pastor. My review of this balanced and informative book can be found in our “Collected Papers” (see the sidebar); a direct link is here.

Not apologizing :-)

Recently Brandy sent me a link to a really refreshing article. Maybe I'm just one of the those machine-gun apologizers, but I feel like I am always apologizing for my baby.  "I'm sorry, he's cranky, he'd didn't get much sleep, I'm sorry, he's crying, he usually goes to most people, I'm sorry, he... and on the list goes"  I'm sorry, but he's a baby. I know that I'm a people-pleaser and I try to make everything OK, but I've resolved to apologize less for him and embrace the moments more.

Here is part of the article from To read the rest, please go to her website.

Sorry my little boys act like... little boys.

You know what I have been working really hard on?
Not apologizing for the fact that I have little boys,
who act and behave like... (gasp!)... little boys.

Now I'm the one with the three little boys. Sometimes I look back and remember her when I sweep up the massive pile from my floor every night (okay, sometimes every other night.) I think of her when my boys are the ones being crazy and screaming and jumping on the couch, spilling self-poured milk all over the counter, eating weird stuff out of the fridge (or trash/off the floor/out from under the couch... I'm just being real.)

She never apologized to me for her boys. She never said "oh my, I am so sorry he is melting down, he is so tired and etc. etc." or "sorry, they should not be jumping on the couch, BOYS STOP! GET DOOOOOWN!" or "sorry they are being so crazy" or "sorry, I'm so embarrassed my house is a mess, these kids... " She never apologized for her messy and beautiful life with small kids. And that ministers to me as a mom of little boys now. Because I feel like I am ALWAYS apologizing for my sons and their behavior.

Sorry Eli's crabby, he hasn't had a nap.
Sorry, they are just excited, I'll tell them to quiet down.
Sorry the house is trashed, we just had a play group here.
Sorry Gabriel is dressed like an orphan, he picked out his own clothes this morning.
Sorry we are late. I had to get three kids ready by myself.
Sorry his room is a mess, I didn't get around to cleaning it yesterday.
Sorry the coffee shop is a special outing for them, so yes they are going to accidentally spill their water, touch every cute plant in the middle of the tables, and smear their faces on the front of the bakery display case as they are filled with excitement as they decide what cookie they are going to have. Sorry you are being distracted from your book or quiet conversation by their squeals of delight. Sorry they are standing in front of the door while you are trying to get in. (Maybe you could smile at my kids or wave 'hello' instead of giving them and me dirty looks.)

SORRY. sorry. SoRrY.
They are not adults.
They are little boys.
Well, sorry. I am done saying sorry. I am done being embarrassed. I am done feeling like I am doing society a great disservice when I bring my kids out in public. I have to bring my kids to the library or restaurants or wherever we will frequent as a family so that they can learn the rules and etiquette of being out and about in public. I am doing nothing helpful by apologizing to my friends and other moms for the same exact stuff that their children do or will do when they get older. I am learning that how I live my life as a mom of little ones can actually be helpful and encouraging to other moms going through the same stuff if I am just real. Just like Amy did for me.

Amy is still a part of my life, and I love laughing with her about all that I observed and learned from her back in the earlier years. She continues to encourage me by being real evidence that you do make it through the tough years, your house will not be trashed forever, kids will sleep-in someday and that in the future your kids will be able to pour milk by themselves and not spill it all over. I sure love you Amy. Especially since you let my little ones spill all over your table now.

So. That is my goal as of late, to stop treating my kids as though they are something to be apologized for. - this is my favorite line

I don't believe in letting your child terrorize a person, a place, or an object but I do feel that children should still be allowed to be children.  My child is a gift from God and I'm going to enjoy him, and not apologize. - rejoicing in my present. :-)

Why are relationships often more complicated than they need to be? The reasons are endless. One reason is that too many people learn their relationships skills from being in toxic relationships. They leave the toxic relationship, but take the toxic behavior onto their next relationship. Is it any wonder why their relationships continue to be complicated ones? Of course not.

Another reason relationships are so complicated is that the entire process of dating seems to have been phased out. The purpose of dating was so you could get to know a person well enough to decide IF that person is GOOD relationship material. So many people bypass the dating phase entirely and try to create a relationship with someone they barely know. Then, when the complications arise, they do not have the ability to handle it. They often see another side to a person they did not know existed. If they would have dated that person for a while, chances are they could have seen that side and could have passed on the relationship all together.

Why Are Relationships So Complicated?

Why Are Relationships So Complicated?

Relationships are often complicated because they are the wrong relationship. They should have ended long ago but people refuse to give up. They may feel they invested so much time and energy already that if they give up now it would be a waste. They don’t realize they have already wasted ENOUGH time and energy and don’t need to waste any more.

When your relationship is more complicated than it needs to be, it might be a good idea to look at the reasons why. Are you staying together because you are afraid to be alone? Are you staying together for the kids? Those may seem like good reasons, but they will only complicate things down the road. A relationship has needs, and if those needs are not being met (emotionally, mentally or even sexually) it will end eventually.

Many relationships begin with no boundaries or labels. Without boundaries or labels the relationship becomes complicated. Without boundaries in a relationship the relationship runs amok. Boundaries provide guidelines of behavior and create reasonable expectations for one another. When one person disrespects every boundary they disrespect the relationship itself. When they are allowed to get away with it, bad patterns emerge. Bad patterns of behavior will always complicate a relationship and bring a whole lot of drama to it as well.

When a couple cannot communicate well, their relationship breaks down. When you are afraid to have an important discussion or express your feelings, your relationship is way too complicated. You should be able to say what is on your mind, and say it in a grown up way. When people cannot articulate their feelings, desires, etc misunderstandings can easily occur. Misunderstandings cause complications. When a couple doesn’t touch base or their main form of communication is via text, their relationship suffers and stagnates.

Be sure to check in next week for Part 2 of why relationships are complicated.

Maple Vinaigrette

  • Yield: 16 servings

1/3cup chopped green onion
1/4cup maple syrup
1/2teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1teaspoon Dijon mustard
3tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2cup mild vegetable oil, such as canola

  1. Combine all ingredients except oil in blender or food processor. Pulse to chop onion.
  2. With machine running, drizzle in oil, process until well blended.  Store the dressing, refrigerated, in a glass bottle, and shake before using. Makes about 1 cup; serves 16.

Stephanie Nhan

Hi! I’m Stephanie! My musical journey started over twenty five years ago at the Academy of Music in Regina Saskatchewan where I grew up. I loved music so much that I started teaching piano and organ lessons at the Academy and I have been teaching music ever since.

I moved to Edmonton Alberta in 2006 where I studied voice and pipe organ at Concordia University College of Alberta. In the summer of 2008 I released my first album, graduated University, got married and decided it was time to open my own school. So for the next five years I adjudicated at music festivals across Saskatchewan and Alberta and taught Voice, Piano, Theory, Kindermusik and Choir.

I am a proud mom to two beautiful little boys and our everyday lives are drenched in music. I will be attending the U of A in the fall to continue my passion for music education. I am so excited to join the music team at Resonate Music School and I can’t wait to start spreading my love of music in a new way with a new musical family.

What A Dumb Idea

Want to forecast the upcoming MLB season? The hell with those new-age stats, let's use fantasy baseball player rankings!

The results here are pretty predictable: the Reds, who play lousy defense but will get lots of steals from Willy Taveras, are now picked to finish second in their division; the Tigers, with a slow baserunning corps but very good defense, are mired in last place.

Other notable outliers: the Twins apparently won't be affected at all by regression to the mean in 2009, and the Brewers somehow finish behind the Astros (this one has me stumped).

Genre: Shooting
Release Date: 1986/5
Developer: WOLF TEAM
Media: 5" 2D Floppy Disk x2
● System Specific: PC-8801

final zone pc-88NOW, HERE AT LAST

FINAL ZONE is a side-scrolling shooting game developed by WOLF TEAM when they still were a subsidiary studio of NIHON TELENET. The game was released in 1986 which was a major breakthrough year in the history of PC gaming.

At the time FINAL ZONE was hyped a great deal by TELENET, but unfortunately the game fell way short of what it promised to be.

Overall, FINAL ZONE was received as a highly innovative and ambitious game but plagued with all sorts of critical flaws.

The FINAL ZONE name surprisingly made a comeback 4 years later in 1990 with two more games :「FINAL ZONE II」(PCE CD-ROM2) and「FZ SENKI AXIS」(X68/MD).
final zone flyer
Magazine flyer

FINAL ZONE II is a direct sequel to this game and was produced by TELENET without the involvement of WOLF TEAM. Sadly the game turned out to be a shallow and uninspired shooting game, and thus it was met with mostly negative reviews.

FZ SENKI AXIS in contrast was the most successful of the FINAL ZONE games and also the most known. It is however unrelated story and gameplay wise to the other games in the trilogy, something most likely due to TELENET owning the rights of the original game.

At the end of a long and devastating war that wore down the world's most powerful nations, all weapons of mass destruction were declared illegal by the reunified world government.

The remaining weapons were set for destruction and further production was banned. This pact at long last marked the end of the war.

In the small island of Mauka located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, the ultimate weapon of mass destruction is believed to have been developed in secret by the renegade PHARAOH ARMY.

This weapon of unprecedented destructive power is known only through intelligence reports as the「GN-16B」.

Finding themselves without the appropriate conditions to carry out a frontal assault. The world's military leaders have assembled an elite special forces unit codenamed「BLACK COBRA」to infiltrate the island and destroy the GN-16B.

This top-secret operation will be given the codename of「FINAL ZONE」.

Make sure to read the in-game character files for some amusing game facts from the programmers.

The only survivor of the elite phantom team 「WOLF」. He's an expert in all manner of armaments and guerrilla tactics. CAPT. BOWIE is a condecorated war hero and the leader of BLACK COBRA.

A demolition expert and former street fighting champion. His favorite weapon is the bazooka.

A half-indian and expert tracksman who specializes in guerrilla warfare. He's lethal with the bowgun.

A merciless English nobleman who's earned the nickname of 「MACHINE GUN MADMAN」for his tendency to go into frenzied shooting outbursts. He's feared even among his own comrades.

An specialist in espionage and seduction. She looks oriental but rumors indicate she's of German descent. Her two most deadly weapons are the knife and her sensual body.

[ 2 ] [ 4 ] [ 6 ] [ 8 ] ... Player movement.
[ SPACE ] ... Shoot.
[ X] ... Grenade.
[ Z ] ... Formation tactics
[  F1 ] ... Save State
[ F2 ] ... Load State

FINAL ZONE is a vertical scrolling shooting game similar to WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD (1985) or 怒 IKARI (1986), except that for some reason you can only shoot in 1 direction (upward).

You take control of the main character CAPT. BOWIE but also can choose up to 2 support characters (point man) that can provide you with additional backing firepower.

Note that if your right point man dies during a mission (and they will die, you can count on it), he or she will remain dead for the remaining of the campaign.

fzone_01.png    fzone_02.png

On the left side of the screen you can see a satellite image of the battle map. Your main objective is to break through the enemy lines and reach the uppermost part of the map. Once there the enemy troops will stage a「Last Stand」which you must overcome in order to clear the level.

Overall, I strongly suggest to avoid using any support characters. They're completely broken in this version and will only make the game substantially harder to clear.

I think the best way to describe FINAL ZONE is as a complete and utter「Conceptual Nightmare」.

The game attempted to be groundbreaking by implementing various original gameplay concepts that were ahead of their time back in 1986. I'm talking about stuff like tactical-oriented gameplay mechanics, squad-based combat, permanent character deaths, and so on.

Unfortunately none of the novel gameplay concepts that the game introduced ever even came close to work out as one can only guess the programmers intended. In fact, most of them were so poorly implemented that they ended up working in detriment of the overall gameplay experience.

fzone_03.png    fzone_04.png

Ironically in their quest for innovation WOLF TEAM seems to have neglected some of the most basic aspects of the game. Like for example the mind-boggling fact that you and your squadmates can only shoot upward in a side-scrolling game that by all indications seems designed for 8-way shooting action.

It also doesn't help that the enemies in the game will never get tired of exploiting your inability to shoot in more directions, since unsurprisingly they don't have the same handicap.

fzone_05.png    fzone_06.png

To add even more to the misery, the PC-88 version of the game was rushed to meet its release date since TELENET hyped the game up the wazoo. The PC-88 version offers no joystick support and has a completely broken A.I. pathfinding.

But what really takes the cake here and is actually one of my all-time favourite programmer omissions, is the lack of item icons.

That's right, you didn't read it wrong. This version has no item icons of any kind, which means all the weapons, ammo, and health power ups present in the game are invisible to the human eye.

Released nearly 7 months after the PC-88 version, the SHARP X1 version of FINAL ZONE fixed some (not all of them unfortunately) of the most critical issues found in the original release.

The 3 most notable fixes found in this version are : added joystick support, slightly improved squadmate A.I., and new item icons.

Sadly I can't go into deeper detail about this version since I don't own a physical copy of it and the only disk images I've found of the game on the net seem to be based on the same hacked (it has infinite health & ammo) and copy protected disk rip.

This rip basically only allows you to play the first stage before the game comes up with this cute disk copy warning screen :

You can also play the last stage and watch the ending credits since the rip comes with save state at that point. However with only 2 playable stages and cheats enabled, I can't really get a decent enough impression of the game.

Thus if any of you has working disk images of the SHARP X1 version of FINAL ZONE by all means please let me know.

The case of FINAL ZONE is a very curious one. It's obvious WOLF TEAM tried very hard not to turn it into another WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD, but in doing so they forgot to at least nail down its basic gameplay formula.

Ironically the game would've been a lot better if it had been just a WOLF OF THE BATTLEFIELD clone.

FINAL ZONE was also released in cartridge format for the original MSX. Like it was the case with all multiplatform games released on the MSX, the game looks a generation behind the other PC versions. However, the MSX version added boss fights at the end of each level, which are definitely better than well... nothing.

Hmmm... FINAL ZONE is definitely one of the strangest WOLF TEAM releases....

a party? gosh sounds like fun, i'll just click that link a few dozen times, what could go wrong

i've been debating picking this one up for a while, but from the sound of it, maybe i should just leave it be. it sounds much more interesting as an experiment than as a game. do you have any thoughts on the original vs. the genesis port?

incidentally, if you haven't gotten an x1 copy of the game yet, you might find it at the tokugawa corp. forums.

Sorry for the late reply, I was absent for a while.

The GENESIS/MEGADRIVE port is basically the same as the X68k version sans the animated cutscenes and other minor graphical effects.

It was the same case with GRANADA, and maybe ARCUS ODYSSEY.

I can see the why of the removal of the animated intro, since the X68k versions dedicated a floppy disk just for storing it. However, I think they should have at least used some static images. The lack of storyline scenes does hurt.

Working on Keeping Costs Down

I take more, different types of medicine now that I did during my 30s. This is on top of my daily vitamins, eating right and cutting out most fried foods. It’s not that I’m unhealthy, but my allergies are killing me and I take three different prescriptions for that. The thing that amazes me is the cost of medicine, even with the insurance I have (which is really good because luckily, the husband is a State employee and I have coverage through my job). Regardless, the cost of meds just keeps going up and I know some people who have taken to finding their meds, like generic Lipitor online to try and save a few dollars. I don’t really blame them.

Check out this Funky Mirror

The dorsal fin was a combo color of
orange and purple!
The head of this mirror
was splotchy yellow and
orange spots.
I landed this unusual mirror carp today.  It had a head that had splotchy orange and yellow spots, especially around the nostrils, eyes and lips.  Its dorsal fin was orange and purple with orange/gold scales along its back.  It had bottom fins that had touches of orange spots on them. Its body was dark but almost smooth skinned. I'm not sure if this is a mirror koi, but it is one of the most unusual looking mirrors I have caught this year.

MMWUC: Lesson's Learned

Whether you've been to the Writer's Retreat Workshop these past 10 days, are cutting grass, promoting your upcoming novel, "Naked and Hungry", or have just released your 5-star debut novel, "Penelope and the Birthday Curse," you've done and learned something. That's what life is all about. From one moment to the next, everything changes. Even if you're semi-conscious on your pink couch, drinking warm Rolling Rock and eating old pork rinds, while watching a C*O*P*S episode for the fourth time, and wishing for Tyra Banks to join you, nothing is ever the same from moment to moment. And so it is with your stories. If your story is not moving along, if your protagonist isn't getting closer to attaining (or failing to attain) his/her/its story-arc goal, that is, the quest that they're on throughout the entire story (and every story is a quest for something), then why am I bothering to read your novel?

How are you moving the story along? For my book, Detective Stark is cutting his grass, because it's long, and he ruminates about his latest case, making connections of clues that he can't do when his brain is occupied with the steady stream of life. For me, it's time to pick the garden.

This year is our most terrifying year yet! You'll witness your very fears exposed and used to terrify you inside The House of Phobias! As the story goes, decades ago Dr. Silas Slaughter shut down his asylum after being accused of performing unnecessary surgeries and experiments in fear upon his patients. Unfortunately for some of those patients, they were still inside when the doors were closed down. Horrible screaming and bright lights could be heard and seen emanating from within the structure, and nobody that ever entered the building ever came back out. Rumor has it that those 'fears' have come to life and reside in the lonely, decrepit halls of the asylum. The doors have recently been opened. Have Dr. Slaughter's 'fear experiments' been inside all this time, waiting for anyone to confront them? Or is it just in your head? We dare you to come down to Creepyville this October and brave the House of Phobias...you just may end up in your own straight jacket!
