Well FedEx Ground is up to 7 days so something is wrong – I’d call FedEx. I work there and ship packages all over and have never had a package take longer than five business days – 11 days is ridiculous – Assuming you are saying Oregon to Florida it should only take 5 days according to FedEx’s Ground Transit Time Map

Michelle answers:

The missing information is :
Where do *you* live?

If you live in or near Kansas City, you will probably receive your item tomorrow, as estimated.

FedEx ‘SmartPost’ works like this : FedEx carries the parcel to the US post office nearest the destination. At that point, your tracking will change to ‘Delivered’ (because as far as FedEx is concerned, their job is done). There will be no further tracking updates after that. This is where you wait and wonder when (or if) USPS is going to deliver your parcel.

As you can tell, I’m not a big fan of ‘SmartPost’ and similar services (which many companies are using now), mainly because of the loss of tracking at the end of the process.

Your item will almost surely arrive on time … Maybe one day late, who knows?

I’ve always gotten my ‘SmartPost’ items on time, or occasionally one day past the estimate, but hey, what’s one day? No one’s perfect.

Michelle answers:

Fedex Smartpost is about the cheapest way for companies to ship these days. Fedex Ground picks up the package and then transports it to the nearest (to you) USPS sort facility. The USPS then makes the final delivery to you. Should be 1 or 2 days after you see a delivered to USPS scan.

Michelle answers:

Michelle answers:

FedEx Ground ships Monday-Friday, except on national holidays.
FedEx Home Delivery ships Tuesday-Saturday, unless there is a national holiday on a Monday, then they get Tuesday off so that they still get a 3 day weekend.

Michelle answers:

Anyone can do business with fedex (its not just for business
we get a lot of non-business customers as well
now you want to ship a book you have a couple of choices
to choose from
how soon do you want your book to arrive
we got first overnight (will arrive at your destination by 8am or
8:30am
Priority overnight (will arrive the next day by 10:30am
standard overnight (will arrive the next day by 4pm
2nd Day will arrived 2 days after shipment
then we got express saver (will arrive 3 days after shipping
then there is also fedex ground (this will take 1 to 4 days
no guarantee of what time it will arrive)
ground is usually the cheapest)

Michelle answers:

FedEx is usually right on time. Just be patient . . .

Michelle answers:

Michelle answers:

Perhaps Fox “news” needs to identify what it means to deliver news. Viewers also need to have a clear mind so as not to swallow every word broadcast. Stirring up trouble is not the same as delivering news. Fox is manipulating the events and not for the good of the country. Negative propaganda is given.

Michelle answers:

Fox news is not really news. It is the most inaccurate news station in America. Studies have come out that show Fox news viewers are the most uninformed news viewers, due to the massive misinformation on that station.

Ignore them.

Michelle answers:

Many of us likely hold the idea that media sources labeling themselves as news organizations are required to observe at least minimal standards to report the news objectively, fairly and truthfully.

If the network labeled themselves as “FOX Opinion and Commentary” and scrapped the misleading “Fair and Balanced” shibboleth, they would likely be regarded a less unfavorably than is presently the case.

In 1996, Jane Akre and her husband, Steve Wilson, were hired to create a four-part series on the topic of bovine growth hormone. Their investigation uncovered risks associated with its use, contrary to the claims of its manufacturer, Monsanto. FOX executives pressured the reporters to use statements from Monsanto that were known to be false. When the reporters refused and threatened to report this matter to the FCC, they were both fired.

During the initial trial, a jury found unanimously in favor of Ms. Akre. The Florida Court of Appeals then unanimously reversed the decision, unbelievably contending that news organizations are entitled to report deliberately false information.

During the appeal, according to one article (source to follow), FOX contended the following:

“…During their appeal, Fox asserted that there that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on the public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story; they simply maintained that it was their right to do so…”

FOX reserves the right to lie to their viewers/listeners.

“Fair and Balanced”? According to this CBS News report in 2010, FOX’s parent company donated $1 million to the Republican Governor’s Association, hardly an action to be expected from an objective news organization. Not exactly fair and balanced. Http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20013876-503544.html

Media Matters has listed numerous concerns about FOX on the attached link. If you see any text in blue lettering that interests you, you can left click on it to be taken to the underlying article, along with sources. Http://mediamatters.org/blog/201106290007

Although the following article is definitely anti-FOX, ask yourself if any of the proganda techniques described in this article define their methods:
http://www.truth-out.org/14-propaganda-techniques-fox-news-uses-brainwash-americans/1309612678

The FOX approach its likely to resonate with a loud, vocal, fervent minority who will watch no other source. They are reassured that if others attack FOX, it is because they are the only source of the real truth, and by implication, their viewers become part of an exclusive “club” possessing this “knowledge.” A significant number of these viewers adopt an exclusive allegiance to this network that mimics religious zealotry.

Anthony Weiner of New York was driven out of office for actions which were distasteful and ill-advised, which would be labeled by most as immoral. But was it illegal? No.

A couple of years ago, Senator David Vitter was named by the DC Madame as one of the johns that her prostitutes served. Prostitutes in Louisiana reported that Sen. Vitter was a regular customer of theirs as well. He appeared with his wife in a news conference, apologizing for his actions, but declined to be more specific. What he did was illegal in both Washington, D.C. And Louisiana. It could be argued that his actions were immoral as well, since he was married at the time. He famously said a number of years ago that Bill Clinton should resign for his actions in office.

Some lesser known news organizations decried this double standard. One can be absolutely certain that FOX was not one of them. The following link will take you to an article describing a conservative Christian group’s call for Vitter to resign in the wake of Weiner’s resignation. The link: http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-group-calls-for-david-vitter-to-resign-following-weiners-lead-51371/

A much stricter standard is applied to Democrats than Republicans by our now right-wing media.

Most of the major networks consistently trumpet the conservative line. FOX merely does this in a far more extreme manner.

Although there is a certain segment of the population who don’t mind being lied to if what they are hearing reinforces their pre-existing beliefs, there are many who prefer the truth, even if it is not always pleasant.

This writer would prefer to avoid any organization that explicitly reserves the right to lie to its viewers/listeners. There are obviously millions (i.e., FOX fans) who believe otherwise.

This writer would submit that the preceding at least touches upon the concerns of those who criticize FOX.

Michelle answers:

I think that a lot of the media, prior to Fox News, leaned to the left. I was overseas and came back to the states in 2000 and I remember calling my dad and asking when we got a Republican news station.

I won’t go as far as to say it is Fair and Balanced taken against itself, but compared with other media sources, it offers a differing and sometimes confrontational view of issues that the other media plays like cookie cutter news.

The real issue at hand isn’t whether Fox News is driven by an agenda, because ALL media is driven by some agenda. One of the first newspapers ever published in this country was started by Benjamin Franklin, to spread his Patriotic viewpoint vs. The British (Loyalist/Tory) views.

Media in this country, is anything but Fair and Balanced.

Michelle answers:

Facebook is down for maintenance

Michelle answers:

Actually, https://login.facebook.com is a landing page for facebook to login (same as www.facebook.com) and the “login” is a page (not domain) that is searched in facebook directory.
Whereas, if you put www before that, it will search a whole directory named login.facebook.com (that means our browser thinks that it is a domain).

So, the bottom line is,
domains are searced by www not pages.

Michelle answers:

It’s doing it to me and my friends too.

They’re changing the log in page and everything, so you won’t be able to log in at the moment.
It’s not a problem with your computer, its facebook’s problem.

If you want to get on to check stuff go to http://www.vtunnel.com and then where it has the Gmail link, substitute that for facebook. You’ll be able to log in, but you won’t be able to post messages and stuff.

Michelle answers:

Give them some time to respond. They probably get thousands of emails a day and need the time to get to yours.
I’m not sure how facebook would let you delete your login email without replacing it with another email. Maybe if you click on “forgot your password” above where you would enter your password to log in will help.

FAFSA would only come in to play if and when you got accepted to grad school and had to pay for classes. If you apply for FAFSA and don’t end up going to school, I would let your school know that you are not needing the financial assistance so that the money isn’t accidentally used to pay tuition or fees. But I would apply for FAFSA just in case.

Michelle answers:

FAFSA doesn’t open up for you until January 1, 2011 so as soon as you can after that. You should ask your parents to get their taxes done sooner rather than later because you need that information for the FAFSA.

Michelle answers:

As Nancy and PETA pointed out, if you will not be applying to college for acceptance until the 2013-14, school year, then there is no reason for you complete the FAFSA now, since that is for the 2012-13 school year only.

Only if you think you might wish to start your college studies during the Summer session in 2013, should you complete and submit the 2012-13 FAFSA, since Summer 2013 classes will be considered part of the 2012-13 school year.

If you would like to get an idea of what questions are asked on the FAFSA and what information you will need to have to complete it early in 2013, then you can see a PDF version of this year’s FAFSA (2012-13) here:
* http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw1213/pdf/PdfFafsa12-13.pdf

You can also use the FAFSA4Caster to get an idea of the amount and type (grant, loans) of Federal student aid you may be offered through the Financial Aid Office of the school you will be attending Fall 2013 (unless the rules for Federal student funding change in 2013.) This is the link to the FAFSA4Caster:
* https://fafsa.ed.gov/FAFSA/app/f4cForm?execution=e1s1

For completing/submitting the 2013-14 FAFSA, be sure to go to the official Free Application for Federal Student Aid web site:
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov

Also, I recommend filing Federal 2012 income taxes (filed in 2013 on 2012 earnings) that you and your parents file your income tax returns electronically, early in February, after receiving W-2 forms from employers and other 2012 income documents. About 2-3 weeks after the 2012 Federal income tax returns are filed, you and your parents can complete your 2013-14 FAFSA and use the IRS income tax data retrieval tool to transfer Federal income tax info onto the FAFSA. It will help you by being an automatic verification of your and your parents’ income.

Forever 21 isn’t as big of a name as EXPRESS. People think that EXPRESS is just more glamorous that forever 21. It’s like Kohl’s and JC Penny. They both basically deliver the same thing, but JC Penny is just a more known name.

Hope that Helps ;D

Michelle answers:

Depends what state and city you live in there are many forever 21’s in the world!

Michelle answers:

They are two separate stores under the same company 🙂 Forever 21 is the clothing store whereas For Love 21 is the accessory store. And not all Forever 21’s have For Love’s connected… In my mall we’ve always had Forever 21 but just recently got For Love… And its not actually connected to the store – its across the hall from Forever 21.

Forever 21 sells scarves, jewelry, tights, leggings, lingerie, sunglasses, head bands, etc…

Michelle answers:

Forever 21 in Manila is a local brand, but if I am not mistaken, the guys who operate the Manila stores patented the name ahead of the original. Try any upscale malls and you will see real (not knock-offs) european brands Zara, Mango, M&S, as well as Levi’s, Guess, Esprit, Nike, DKNY, A/X, CK and other high end brands. Seven and Replay both have good distressed jeans.

Firefox is more secure and easier to work with.

Michelle answers:

Try firefox (safe mode). Go to Start, All Programs and find Mozilla Firefox and there you can choose in safe mode. If that’s not working try to reinstall firefox.

Michelle answers:

Oh dear….

Yes, it should say mozilla firefox.

If you’re on a PC: you download the installer from the firefox site and then it should put a short cut on your desktop. If not, check the start menu and look around for it.

If you’re on a mac: download it and open the dmg file. Drag the firefox icon onto the desktop and then double click it.

After it opens, use it like any other internet browser
