Thankfully though no snow of consequence hit our village.. but a touch over from us by about an hour, Ithaca NY is expected today to get lake-effect snow.. We're hoping to move Ithaca sometime or 'nother.. but hearing reports like that do not make me want to hurry the move there, that's for sure. Enjoy the weather if you can.. and here's hoping you can stay warm if you're in a chilly belt... It doesn't seem fair somehow that our neighbors in Zone 3 are experiencing their summer right now :( FIDOGAZETTE Vol 6 No 2 Page 3 January 15th, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= TDS Telecom Wants My Money... By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net I've been discussing internet charges with folks in the FN_SYOP echo - some find it hard to understand how a rural area's internet fees can be as high as they are.. It doesn't surprise me however. In a village who's total population is 901 people according to the census of 2000 it is very understandable to me: 369 households, and 250 families residing in our village. Oh wait, my daughter and her family left Windsor for Ithaca NY a few years ago, so make that 249 families and 5 less people as well.. When you're taking about a small country village like Windsor, every person counts :) Our village is so pathetically small that we don't even have a police force..really.. :) We welcome though when the town's sheriff rides though the village.. at least that keeps the hooligans that leak out of the local bar kind of quiet. Believe me, they can get mighty rowdy, and it doesn't seem to matter what day of the week it is. Back to TDS though.. From what I understand, this company was recently bought out by firm in England.. and I remember thinking, well, there goes the local friendly service.. though I secretly hoped this affiliation might bring better services to TDS.. not to be though, sadly enough. In Windsor, if you want a DSL line that can run servers, you have to have a commercial account... so, While we were able to upgrade our DSL line to a 15M from a 5M line (geez!!) and our billing was reduced from $400.00 a month to $176.71 plus LD fees from AT&T, I guess somewhere somehow TDS figured it needed to make a few more bucks from it's customers (they are the only phone company in town afterall). Two months ago TDS instituted a new policy without any notice in writing to it's customers.. Normally, when the phone bill comes with it's handy preaddressed envelope (you pay postage, of course), I call the company on the phone and make our payment using our debit card. The new policy though that TDS started two months ago now charges anyone who uses their "automated-pay-your-bill-by-telephone" service a fee of $2.90. Doesn't matter if you are a residential or commercial customer either. And you don't hear anything about this fee until you call the customer service line to pay your bill. No, it's not a huge sum. But why any fee is necessary or legal is beyond me. You don't get this charge if you go to their web site and make a payment with your debit or credit card, and of course you don't have to pay this extra $2.90 cents if you use a check and the postal service to make your payment.. I won't use their web site for payments since the last time I did that, TDS overcharged us by a whole month's billing.. and at the time, that stinking $400.00 charge was NOTHING to sneeze at. So first I filed a complaint over this excessive charge with the FCC.. and then I filed another complaint with the Federal Trade Commission's consumer fraud protection agency.. The FTC acknowleged my complaint and now I'm waiting to hear the results of there investigation. Wouldn't it be nice if the little guy won for once? :) Time will tell...

Send recipes, articles, reviews etc. to janis@filegate.net, or fidogazette@filegate.net. Italian Marinated Vegetables Microwave recipe Typically I use any vegetables I have on hand for this recipe... the crunchier the vegetable, the better suited it will be. Put into a microwave-safe 2-quart jar or container with lid: 2 stalks celery cut into 2 inch lengths 2 medium onions, quartered 2 carrots, sliced in half or thirds if very thick and cut to 2 inch lengths Handful cauliflower florets 4-5 mushrooms, cut in half 1 green pepper, sliced Add to the container 1 cup olive oil 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 3 Tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon basil 1 crushed clove garlic 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Microwave covered on high for about 3-5 minutes. The time will depend on the power of your microwave. You want the vegetables to be somewhat firm. Serve at room temperature in bowls with some of the dressing.

Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article!

Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g).
