“Why OnBlass.com IS NOT just another COMPLAINT-Website”

OnBlass.com Interview with President, CEO OnBlass.com.

People throughout the country are facing new challenges each and everyday by keeping their Personal Identifiable Information out of the hands of identity thieves and criminals. There are a number of agencies at work 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, attempting to prevent these acts from occurring. In the next five years, we suspect that 60 million identities will be compromised due to poor security practices or negligence by businesses. In Aug 2007, OnBlass.com launched its Investigation Division (OnBlassID), to conduct consumer identity investigations which help consumers review their credit activities and assist in locating and prosecuting I.D.Theft Offenders. “We do what the credit card companies aren't doing”, says President, CEO, Joseph Menefee.

Q: Why is OnBlassID so important to consumers?
Menefee: Many consumers don’t understand how to identify or locate the I.D. Threats. OnBlassID knows how. There are millions upon millions of consumers in the United States who do not understand how critical it is to protect their identities from fraud. You might think that with such a volume, agencies would be over-worked with credit checks.

Q: What is a OnBlassID benefit?
Menefee: From a consumer’s standpoint, and due to our extensive capabilities, our organization does what many other agencies can’t do. Traditionally, National Credit Reporting Agencies are limited in their ability to render in-depth analysis due to high volume and workload. OnBlassID conducts a thorough data analysis; provide counseling and assists with credit restoration. We also conduct a full investigation on your credit inconsistencies, should there be questionable items on your credit report.

Q: What is the uniqueness and challenge at OnBlassID?
Menefee: OnBlassID is very unique in offering many different capabilities. In-depth data analysis and credit restoration for the consumer are but a few critical areas that many other agencies find as a difficult challenge to meet. Being a relatively new site, it takes time getting consumers to understand our position in the marketplace. It is our belief that OnBlassID is the only consumer site in the market that combines I.D. Theft and Fraud Investigations with Complaints, Comments and Compliments. With reasonable and competitive rates, the “uniqueness and challenge” is definitely in place for consumers to take advantage of.

Q: Will many people use and watch this site?
Menefee: YES! And we are just starting to grow. We observe other sites attempting to compete with us, but cannot. OnBlassID's uniqueness is very hard and difficult to emulate due to our capability.

Departure

In Turkey there is a touching symbol of farewell. Do not Wangjiacaice However, this departure has nothing to do with love.
In the "Bible" in the "Ephesians" the famous Ephesus, Turkey in the best-preserved one of the most valuable heritage. Vicissitudes of their time can be traced back in 3000. Old streets, grand temples, the magnificent ancient Roman theater, the first time I understood the draw of Asia Minor in the East and the West of human
The civilization in an irreplaceable position.
But there is a sad sister. This is the famous goddess of the moon and hunting Alpha Artemis Temple, the world-famous ancient one of the seven wonders of human civilization. Aegean civilization of the early laps friends, often because of the gods in Greek mythology in Turkey, and surprised.

But it can not tell the sad atmosphere, from the other side of the Aegean Sea Greek land, because there are al-site Matutes twin brother Apollo.

Problems with UPS?

Dear Fellow West Phillyites,

If you have recently had a bad experience with the Oregon Avenue UPS Depot, please call central UPS Customer Service and complain. Give them the specifics. The phone number is 1-800 - PICK-UPS. I had a *horrible* experience today, worse than my usual horrible UPS experience.

I recently ordered a new futon mattress from the Internets. When I ordered it, there was a place for shipping instructions. I wrote that the door buzzer to my apartment building was broken and that the driver should call my cell phone when he arrived. I provided my cell phone number. Now, I know from experience that not all of the drivers carry cell phones, so I spent the entire day looking out the window every two minutes. Finally at 3pm I saw it! I ran downstairs to meet the driver, and...

He told me he left my 70-pound package *at the warehouse* because my apartment building buzzer was broken.

I called UPS central customer service. Central UPS says that the driver absolutely did not have the authority to leave a package behind. Of course they are going to call the Oregon Station depot. I told them that I have not gotten satisfactory response from the Oregon Avenue Depot in the past, and the response has been particularly rude and unhelpful when I have spoken to the manager. The man at central UPS said the only way that UPS could do anything about this was if people in Philadelphia who have had bad experiences with the local UPS called central customer service and complained.

Again, the number is 1-800-PICK-UPS.

His roots are from the bay area and he expressed his appreciation by saying to the audience "I love you" quite a few times. I used to live up the street from Eddie Money and I was given the opportunity to give him a signed autographed copy of my book, White Male Privilege. I also thank Eddie Money for bringing attention and honor to our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Temple University set to downsize longest running community education program in the region

Temple attempts to forcibly divide and relocate the 33 year old PASCEP program.

Philadelphia, PA June 2008

Temple University is forcing its vanguard community education program, the
Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP) to vacate its current space at 1114 W. Berks St. in Anderson Hall room 840 and relocate to the “Entertainment & Community Education Center" located at 1509 Cecil B. Moore, a space ¼ the size needed for the program to continue to offer its classes.

The current program Director, Mr. Yumy Odom is quoted as saying “Essentially, this relocation would force PASCEP to reduce the current 85 classes to 28 or so, eliminate almost all of the PASCEP community outreach initiatives, and take PASCEP back to 1980 levels.”

PASCEP is the fifth largest “school” at Temple University and currently averages 1100 students per semester with 28 classes per night, four nights a week for four semesters a year and it is all run by two paid faculty members and over 80 volunteer instructors and staff.

Temple has yet to clearly and directly state its reason for wanting to move PASCEP.

The program, which originally moved onto Temple’s campus in 1979 under the then Pan-African studies department, has been in existence since 1975. Founded by Annie D. Hyman, a graduate of Temple, PASCEP is a low cost, non-credit continuing education program and was designed to inspire residents of the surrounding North Philadelphia community to seek higher education by first introducing them to low cost courses within the settings of a college campus. The program has run successfully for over 33 years but as of the Fall semester of 2008, all that may come to an end without direct and immediate action.

Thank you
Friends of PASCEP

Free Lunch

Short Documentary on Philly WiFi

On June 12, 2008, Earthlink Wireless plans to disconnect their municipal WiFi service in the City of Philadelphia. For the sake of being timely, I am releasing my unfinished documentary about the joint program between Earthlink Municipal WiFi and the local non-profit, Philadelphia Wireless, forgoing further editing and technical corrections.

My aspiration for this film was to represent the personal insights of a few Philadelphians and their hopes for how municipal wireless service could affect positive change in their city.

Philadelphia Wireless (the local non-profit) is still searching for a new provider to manage the network, continuing their mission of bridging the digital divide by providing internet service to those who can't afford it.

Please forward the link to anyone you think might be interested in this topic.
