January 29, 2015 KED

On Friday, February 9, 2007, Dick Hull retired from Carroll Land Services. The creative genius that made Carroll Land Services so successful can still be seen through the lens of his camera.

Find his latest work at the Carroll Arts Center in an exhibit with the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair.” http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-county-camera-club-20150120,0,2829628.story

According to Carroll County Times writer Jacob deNobel, the exhibition started on Thursday, January 22, 2015 and is “running until Feb. 28. The exhibition features photography from the group's 38 members and families, with subjects including nature photography, still-lifes, abstract images and landscapes

[…]

Mr. deNobel quotes Mr. Hull to remark, “Richard Hull, a nature photographer from Manchester who will be exhibiting in the show, said he began taking pictures in the mid-'80s when he became involved with underwater photography. When he bought his first digital camera in 2005, he had trouble with the new technology, though soon embraced the tech wholeheartedly.

“‘I’m not a computer guy, so to learn computers and the programs was pretty tough," Hull said. "In my opinion, it really is superior a lot of the time, even though there are people who would hate to hear me say it.’”

ManneqART Announces 2015 Events Schedule

ManneqART has announced its 2015 Competition which features the following unique and exciting events:

· March 28-29 Sculpture on the Human Form Workshop for students and beginning artists

· April 30--Artworks entry deadline

· June 21 ManneqART Madness--Public introduction of the 2015 artworks

· September 12-26 Public Display of Artworks

· September 27 Gala and Stage Show

ManneqART is a 501c3 nonprofit arts and education organization and competition based in Howard County, focused on bringing the Wearable Arts to the public.

Now in its third year, it’s mission is to inspire creativity and reward excellence in the field of wearable art. ManneqART reaches out to beginning and accomplished artists of all ages and skill levels and invites them to think outside their comfort zones to create artworks unlike anything our community has seen in the past. A gallery of more than 150 artworks created by ManneqART contestants from 30+ states can be seen at:

http://manneqart.org/

Since ManneqART was founded in 2013, it has become an exciting Howard County arts event and a part of the Columbia Festival of the Arts. Nearly 200 artworks have been presented to the community, including over 100 shown at 16 Howard County locations for two weeks in September, 2014.

Last year's entries included artworks from 19 states made of all kinds of materials, from metals and paper, to spray foam and melted plastic bags. Artist awards totaling $10,000 were presented to artists in several categories.

For 2015, ManneqART has entered into a Partnership Agreement with the Howard County Public Schools System to train students to create 3-dimension, wearable art. Studies suggest that arts training might be related to improvements in math or reading skills.

A March 28-29 Workshop will feature accomplished wearable artists teaching students and others how to work with materials, structure and colors to create artworks for the 2015 Competition.

ManneqART is unique and growing non-profit but we can't provide these artworks to the Howard County community with the communities support. We are seeking contributions for the 2015 competition. and would be grateful for support in many different forms, including artist sponsorships, events support, in-kind contributions, cash donations, fundraising outreach, volunteers and more.

For more information about entering or supporting the 2015 competition, go to the ManneqART website at www.manneqart.org, email info@manneqart.org or call 301.725.5555

BACKGROUND:

Lee Andersen, a Kiwi from the North Island of New Zealand, founded ManneqArt in 2013, as an innovative nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization created to promote the arts and the artists. ManneqART is patterned after New Zealand's 25 year old World of Wearable Art which attracts artists from all over the world and welcomes 50,000 plus visitors each year to Wellington, NZ. An artist and highly successful "art to wear" fashions designer by trade, Andersen is also well known for her unique knitted fashions worn by both public and private clients, such as Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad. Some of Andersen's cutting edge designs are on display at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Today, she manufactures the Lee Andersen Collection at her 16,000 square foot factory in Howard County. Her label is currently found in 800 boutiques in the US and Canada.

More than 100 entries in the 2014 Competition were displayed free to the public for two weeks in September at 16 locations around Howard County. Hundreds of people visited the displays. The June 2014 Hair and Makeup Competition attracted 1000+ visitors to Historic Savage Mill to see all the extreme hair and makeup designs professionally photographed on models wearing the unique 2014 artworks.

Former Carroll County Commissioner Roger Mann has died

Roger Mann was a county commissioner from 1974 to 1982

According to an obituary published by the Fletcher Funeral Home early Tuesday afternoon, January 27, 2014, former Carroll County Commissioner Roger Mann has died.

http://www.fletcherfuneralhome.net/obits/obituary.php?id=638238

Former Carroll County Commissioner, Roger L. Mann, 85, of Selbyville, Delaware, formerly of Westminster, died Tuesday, January 27, 2015, at Homewood at Plum Creek. Born December 4, 1929, in Finksburg, Maryland, he was the son of the late Carroll I. Mann, Sr. and Alpha Schaeffer Mann.

He began working, as a teenager, at Congoleum Industries in Finksburg, and shortly thereafter, became a lifelong entrepreneur. He owned various produce stands in the Westminster and Finksburg area, Woodsboro, and Ocean City, Maryland; operated Mann’s Cider Mill in Westminster; and also for many years, owned and drove school busses in the Westminster area.

Roger was a two term Carroll County Commissioner, having been elected first in 1974, and re-elected in 1978. Following his retirement from the Commissioner’s office, he relocated to Selbyville, Delaware, opened his produce stand in Ocean City, Maryland, and wintered in Florida.

He is survived by a son, Roger Larry Mann of Pooler, Georgia, a sister, Betty Mann Wiley of Estero, Florida, devoted friend, Gladys Morelock of Littlestown, Pennsylvania, and nieces and nephews, Kenny Mann, Joyce Crigger, Jerry Mann, Debbie Munshower, Cindy Lewis and Sandy Magnante.

He was predeceased by his former wife, Mae Barnhart Mann, and brother, Carroll I. Mann, Jr.

The family will receive friends on Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Fletcher Funeral & Cremation Services, 254 E. Main St., Westminster.

Funeral services will be held Friday at 1 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will follow in Finksburg Cemetery.

Red Maryland: Should an “R” behind the name make a difference?

I received this (Letter to the Editor) by Twitter the other day - January 24, 2015 Saturday Red Carroll @RedCarrollMd @ChangeMaryland @CarrollStandard @frednewspost @kevindayhoff @wbaltv11 @cbsbaltimore More questions @joegetty seat keepcarrollconservative.com/should-an-r-be…

By KCC Admin | January 24, 2015

An open letter from Keep Carroll Conservative to Senator Joe Getty:

http://keepcarrollconservative.com/should-an-r-behind-the-name-make-a-difference/

Dear Senator Getty,

[…]

We ask you to please help us understand the inconsistencies in the Hogan administration talking points for the last month. We’ve posted screen shots that show you started your new position with the Hogan Administration but now someone is covering those tracks and your profile shows no starting date to for your new appointment. You’re our home-town guy who should have the best interests of Carroll County in mind, right? Perhaps you can help answer a number of troubling questions:

http://keepcarrollconservative.com/should-an-r-behind-the-name-make-a-difference/

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Who Are We?

Keep Carroll Conservative is a grass-roots organization made up of concerned citizens who reside in Carroll County. We live here because we believe Carroll County stands for less government, lower taxes, great schools, and safe neighborhoods. And we want it to remain that way.

We know that it’s people, not government, who make – and keep – Carroll the “Switzerland” of Maryland Counties. (You know Switzerland. It’s the tiny, conservative Country in Europe that’s currently holding the whole region together.) We know conservative principles are the only governing principles that have survived the test of time. It explains why Switzerland is doing so well while all the liberal countries around it are dealing with collapse.

It’s our focus to share the greatness of conservatism; get the best candidates elected to public offices in Carroll County; and keep you informed about the latest goings on in Carroll. http://keepcarrollconservative.com/about-us/

Unwanted telephone solicitor phone calls

January 21, 2015 update: Add another telemarketer 646-712-8141 to your list

I just called by 646-712-8141. I did not answer because neither me, nor my phone recognized the number. A quick search on the internet reveals that it is a scammer according to multiple posts, for example, “Business loan offer from a robo-call.” Another post said, “Unknown caller is a breather. The breather called to our personal home phone which is an unlisted number. I've been getting numerous unwanted calls at all hours of the day/night by various phone numbers. I'm very unhappy about this.”

According to MyCallBot: “Central Office: NWYRCYZN01, NY - NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC – NY”

A (real) friend on Facebook recently wrote what many of us are feeling these days, “About a month ago, we ditched our landline to save a few bucks and to free us from the dozens of robocalls, marketing surveys and other come-ons. Since then, my cell phone has received Frederick city-sponsored poll, a woman who wants me to save on my car insurance and, just now, a recording that says I just won a cruise to the Bahamas. When we had the landline, I could pretty much guarantee a call on my cell phone was worthwhile. What the hell is going on?”

I’m guessing here – but I can only imagine that this is all okay with the telecommunications industry – that is not known for really caring about the user experience of its customers.

Apparently the recent spate of unwanted phone calls – and text messages has spawned a cottage busy with lawyers: “Why You Should Report Text Message Spam… Stop Text Message Spam … Did you know that it’s illegal for marketers to send you a text message without your consent? According to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) if a company sends you an unsolicited text message, then they are responsible to pay you $500 for each spam text message that they sent you. This law is in place to protect you from the annoyance, nuisance, and invasion of privacy from these telemarketers. If you report the unsolicited text message that you received to us, we’ll track down the sender of the text message and help you recover $500 for each unsolicited text message you received. We’ve helped hundred of individuals collect against telemarketers for their spam text message campaigns. Report now above and we’ll see if we can help you recover $500 for each text message.”

This is good. Just saying.

20150105 909 387 2418 scam

January 21, 2015 update: Add 410-667-3963 to your list…

Update Westminster Maryland Online: Do not answer phone calls from 909 387 2418, 602-346-9758 or 410-667-3963

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/01/update-westminster-maryland-online-do.html

Take the time now to enter into your phone the following phone numbers and identify them as Spammer…

410-667-3963

909 387 2418

602-346-9758

410-667-3963 is one of the latest “Do Not Answer” phone numbers out there.

This is the phone number of a telemarketer for a remodeling company…

Do not answer phone calls from 909 387 2418 or 602-346-9758.

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/01/do-not-answer-phone-calls-from-909-387.html

Labels: Phone Do Not Answer, Scams, Scams Fraud, Spam, Spammer, Unwanted phone calls, Telemarketer,

On Monday, January 5, 2015 I got a scam-phone call from 909 387 2418. Then, the very next day, got another scam phone call from 602-346-9758.

Update January 6, 2015

After hardly ever getting spam phone calls on our cellphones for many years, in the last two days we have received two unwanted sales calls – calls that, in reality were probably attempts to commit fraud…

Today, the phone call was from 602-346-9758. I answered it. Yes, I understand that I probably should not have answered it…

The computer-generated robocall immediately began, “Attention, this is not a sales call. You have been referred by a friend to receive a free wireless system. There is no cost for this system."

What a load of crap… I did wait for the opportunity to block it.

Phone number 909 387 2418 is a scam

Monday, January 5, 2015

Do NOT answer a phone call in which the caller id indicates that the number is 909 387 2418. I got the call earlier today.

Fortunately, I have a policy that if you are not in my phone system, I usually, more often than not, do not answer the phone. This policy has saved me an enormous amount of time. Furthermore, this policy has probably saved me from many scams.

Today I got a phone call from 909 387 2418. I did not answer it. Afterwards, a quick search on the internet indicated it was indeed spam. For example, http://www.scamcallfighters.com/scam-cal:

“Scam Phone Number 9093872418, Robocall 909-387-2418. Important message about your credit card: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#safe=off&q=909-387-2418

“Calls and would not leave any message. Picked up and found a recording. "Important message about your credit card. Press 1 to speak to a representative". Clicked 1 hoping that I could get them to take me off, to escape the harassment but the line went dead. That's it! Waste of time... I've blocked this number for good” http://www.scamcallfighters.com/scam-call-9093872418-Robocall-909-387-2418--Important-message-about-your-credit-card--Credit---Debit--ATM-Card-Fraud-17791.html

Another post by “David Fights, Lead Investigator for Scamcallfighters,” reports, “This must be the "lower your interest rate" scammer. It's good that the darned system is not working! That should save the gullible from getting scammed.

“By enticing people with offer to lower interest rate, the scammers get the victim to reveal his personal & banking info apart from credit card details!

“According to the FTC, the companies behind these Card Services Offers can’t do anything for you that you can’t do for yourself, for free. If you are not able to get the rates reduces with your card issuer, neither would they. These scammers try to obtain your card details and will steal money as ‘fees’.

“However, FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule prohibits companies that sell relief services like these rate reduction scams on the phone from charging a fee before they settle or reduce your debt.

“You should file complaint with FTC, whenever you get a ‘Card Services’ call.

Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) Twitter Account Will Aid in Reaching Out to Marylanders

Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) Twitter Account Will Aid in Reaching Out to Marylanders

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/01/maryland-state-department-of.html

In the past I have NOT found SDAT to be in the customer service business; however the last several interactions with this Maryland bureaucracy could not have been better.

Over the last 45-years, some of the worst experiences I have had with Maryland bureaucracies has been with SDAT. I'm not talking about getting an answer that I did not want or did not like - I'm talking about rude, boorish, overbearing, unpleasant, impolite and disrespectful customer service behavior that was really bewildering.

But I'll repeat; the last several interactions could not have been better.

So hey, if this department wants to start doing a better job of treating its customers, I'm all for it and will be the first to sing its praises. Just saying.

- New Agency Twitter Account Will Aid in Reaching Out to Marylanders -

Baltimore, Md. (January 20, 2015) – Tweeting is usually for the birds, but now it’s also for the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT). The agency is already on Facebook, but in the interest of reaching more Marylanders, SDAT now provides valuable information from the agency on Twitter.

“The more ways we have to reach out to Marylanders, the better off we all are,” said acting agency director, Owen Charles. The agency’s Twitter feed provides Marylanders information, updates, links and the occasional miscellaneous Maryland tweet in 140 characters or less.

The Twitter account will provide links to information from SDAT as well as other state and federal agencies. “It should also help differentiate us from other agencies and local government finance offices as well as the Maryland Comptroller’s Office. Despite the “taxation” in our name, we assess real and personal property and provide services for business entities doing regular business in Maryland,” said Mr. Charles.

Follow the agency on Twitter @MD_SDAT. The agency’s website is still the number one source for agency information while the Facebook page provides resources for contacting the agency as well as photos and information.
