Comment on Enova Oil by Asta

According to the company’s website:
http://www.enovaoil.com/
“We’re sorry. Enova cooking oil is no longer available.”

I kind of wonder about why they did that, does seem likely that something was amiss.

I kind of worry about canola oil myself. Most of it is genetically modified these days. Add in the fact that the pre hybrid rapeseed (what canola is from) was a tad toxic and I kind of wonder if it won’t be another “They ate THAT!?” item in 25 or 30 years.

Out of curiosity, did the starship officers and sea monster come from one daughter, and the Christmasy ones from the other? Oh, and what’s that orange thing under the wreath on the top right?

To be pedantic, you’re not shopping at Amazon. You’re shopping at Deerso, within the Amazon Marketplace. This is actually an improvement; until recently you had to go through the check out process or drill down on the seller info to learn the shipping cost.

On the other hand, Amazon risks major name tarnish with the marketplace. I wish they would get rid of it, or require uniform policies from its sellers.

Comment on Vonage: Customer Service Reponds by Christine

I just cancelled vonage after a year and a half with them. I do not use my home phone and did not need it any longer. They cancelled the service and went on to explain that they would need to charge a $39.99 termination fee because I was cancelling less than 2 years. I pointed out that their terms of service of their website states that termination fees would only be charged for accounts cancelled before one year of service. They said that was only for accounts after May 2009 (although it says nothing about that in the terms of service). Ridiculous!

I tried to cancel my service and, after adding up all the fees, basically learned that it would be cheaper to leave my account active for one year and then cancel. There are termination fees, equipment charges, taxes, etc. Vonage is a total sucker company. I will warn everyone I know against using them. I don’t understand why companies continue to screw people over with fine print and hidden charges. No one appreciates a company like this, no one suggests it to others and it’s a business model that is sure to eventually fail. I would love to see this company, and others like it, sink to the bottom.

Here is the web page, that I mentioned above, showing the secondary red absorbtion in the short wave region by the blue.

I would appreciate knowing of even more informative sources – thank you.

Correction: I note in the above that I made a mistake “Why does violet look like blue” should have been “Why does violet look like purple”.
