US Fidelis Files for Bankruptcy!

The company that once sponsored the Rusty Wallace NASCAR team, US Fidelis has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, this transaction took place on March 1, 2010. According to the court records, the company has accumulated $25.8 million in debt, has 474.4 million in accets, $65 million of which the is owed to the company from its two owners.

The company reported that they generated $246.5 million dollards in revenue for the sale of service-contracts. And now, there is no one available if you need to access the benefits of your service-contract. In fact the companies troubles began to mount last April when complaints started streaming into the office of the Beter Business Bureau and the Attorneys General over the company's deceptive business practices.

In 36 months, the BBB received 1,100 complaints and over 33,000 inquiries, which lead to the filing of a law suit against the company by Missouri Department of Insurance. BMW North American jumped in and filed a suit against the company for illegally using it's trademark name without proper affiliation. It looks like the company will receive a number of class-action lawsuits as well.

Hopefully, none of our readers need be to concerned of their coverage but, if you discover that your service-contract is one owned my US Fidelis, please contact our Finance Director @ 727-344-3344 to get proper protection for your vehicle.

Great News for the Tampa Bay area!

Salons are donating clippings to stuff into oil-absorbing booms.

As anyone who has gone days without shampooing knows, nothing grabs onto oil quite like hair.

That might explain why there are boxes of strangers’ hair clippings in Princess Obriot’s garage in Holiday.

A s president of the environmental group Make Mine Bluegreen, she’s leading a call for donations of hair, fur and wool, key components in the cleanup of the Gulf of Me xico oil slick headed for Florida’s shores.

Hair is the perfect oil-fighter: It’s light, spongy, flexible and free, Obriot said. A clump of it can sop up oil, be wrung clean and immediately reused. The best part? It’s pretty easy to find.

“Hair by itself, by nature, is the best,” Obriot said.

More than 40 salons in Pasco and Hernando counties, she said, have committed to donating sheared hair.

Volunteers will stuff clippings into pantyhose to make booms, or press long strands into mats. T he group will join a response team, taking donations including Da wn dish soap, cat litter pans and soft-bristle brushes.

Technically, hair doesn’t “absorb” oil, it “adsorbs” it. Oil clings to the hair’s surface rather than soaking into the strand. The results are the same. A pound of hair can soak up a quart of oil, Obriot said, and a mat of hair can be wrung out and reused many times.

It was an Alabama hairdresser who suggested the idea after the Exxon Valdezran aground in 1989. In 1998, NASA researchers tested a hair-nylon filter in drums of oiled water. In 2006, guards in the Philippines shaved prisoners’ heads to help soak up a spill. A year later, a group called Matter of Trust compressed hair mats for use on oil-slicked rocks after a spill near the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

In Gulfport, groomers at Joy’s Doggery have filled three old shampoo boxes with a mix of Yorkie, poodle and puli fur that looks, co-owner Melanie Huling said, a bit like a calico.

Stylists at the Michael Angelo Hair Studio in Tampa are collecting about a pound of hair a day, said business manager Anthony Bellapigna. Collecting stockings and mesh to create the booms can be harder, he said.

“People ask me, what can I do to help,’” Bellapigna said. “I tell them ‘Go get a haircut.’” Obriot’s supporters, like Girl Scout Troop 10075, span as far as South Florida. Four Scouts circled the cafeteria table of Flamingo Elementar y Schoolin Davie. Western High School senior Layla Souchet, 17, had told them that they would be helping clean up the massive gulf oil slick.

At first, “they were like, ‘Oh, that’s really cool. What can we do?’” Souchet said. That was before she walked in with bags of clippings from a nearby Hair Cuttery. “Then they were like, ‘Why do you have this big bag of hair?’” The girls reluctantly grabbed handfuls of hair to tr y and weave a makeshift mop head, but the strands were too short. What did work, they found,was stuffing the clumped hair into their mothers’ old, holey leggings. After about 10 minutes, the girls had five sets of floating booms.

With a Scouts trip to Sanibel Island planned for this summer and the oil still spreading through the water, the girls figured they’d better pitch in.

“It’s a great way to help, and I get the satisfaction of knowing I just saved a little otter, or something,” Souchet said.

Volunteers stuffed human and dog hair into pantyhose at Princess Obriot’s house Wednesday.

Booms will soak up oil in spill areas. To donate or schedule a pickup, call Obriot at (727) 967-4754 or visit www.
