connected to a server that is operating at 100M bytes? Also the total output should not exceed 100 mW(20dbi)? Let's start with power. Transmit power output depends upon the size and RF characteristics of the building you need to cover, because that will determine the number of APs, channels, and need for antennas. In the US, the maximum power permitted in the 5.15-5.25 frequency band is 40 mW. Between 5.25-5.35, maximum power is 200 mW. Limits in other regulatory domains vary. To reduce interference and satisfy different regulatory constraints, IEEE 802.11h specifies transmit power control procedures. In other words, you'll probably be able to configure your 802.11a APs to reduce power output - but whether the result will actually meet your 100 mW limit depends on your WLAN layout.
Next, let's consider bandwidth. If you have 100 PCs sharing one server with a 100M bit/sec. interface, you might say that each PC needs 1M bit/sec. Even an 802.11b WLAN can provide 1M bit/sec. to one station, but of course not to 100 stations at the same time. But all 100 PCs are probably not accessing the server at once. You really need to define your requirements for number of simultaneous users and per-user throughput. For example, suppose you decide that any single user requires 2M bit/sec. with 25 users needing simultaneous access at any time. That's an aggregate throughput of 50M bit/sec.
Now, how do you know whether your 802.11a WLAN can support this? Standard 802.11a data rates range from 6 to 54M bit/sec. But data rate varies with distance, so again the answer depends upon your actual WLAN layout. How far your stations are from your APs will directly impact throughput, and effective application throughput is about half the data rate. Conduct a site survey to determine the effective throughput delivered to each station, laying out APs so that every station receives the per-user throughput that you require. Finally, consider number of users per AP - stations using the same channel share the aggregate bandwidth provided by that channel.

Some corners are especially dark and difficult to find lost objects in. That space beneath the front seat of the car? That's one of them. The back of the garage? It's practically an abyss. The problem is that you might not always be carrying the monster-sized flashlight you want to light up those spaces. You only have so much room in your bags as it is.The Nassau Flashlight was made for those corners. It features* Nine bright white LED lights* A rubberized push-button power switch* A metal carabiner to attach it securely to a bag or a key ring* Button cell batteries included and insertedFor such a tiny, lightweight flashlight, the Nassau Flashlight shines a bright light, as we can testify, having turned it on while looking directly at it during product testing. The flashlight has a textured black grip around the barrel that makes it comfortable to hold and easy to unscrew when changing the batteries. The durable metal carabiner closes securely.We think that the Nassau Flashlight would make a great giveaway at trade shows, especially auto shows, and an excellent promotional item for insurance companies, mechanics, and community organizations.

Okay, I am so happy there is this thread, though it looks inactive.
I have been considering doing this for a while, too, because of the opportunity to teach people about sex and to help people learn about their bodies. But of course, I'm totally dismayed about the cheap products and the questionable creams ("Numbzit" fer chrissakes!)
I think lotions and gels and shit are nice, but it's mostly bullshit -- what I want to sell mostly is toys and spend time talking to people about what their options are, not hawking a buncha ridiculous shit like pencils with dick-shaped erasers and stuff.
And the more expensive kits have the good toys in them (the best one I've seen so far is Passion Parties) and the cheaper starter kits are full of bullshit creams and lubes that look like they'd give you a UTI in less than 30 seconds.

An ad-hoc coalition of trucking organizations issued a letter Monday, April 11, to Acting FMCSA Administrator Scott Darling disputing comments made by FMCSA's Joe DeLorenzo last week. The groups reiterate their argument that the rule violates federal law, despite FMCSA's claims otherwise.Read More
Joe DeLorenzo, head of enforcement and compliance for FMCSA, spoke briefly in a conference call with trucking industry media Thursday, April 7, touting both the rule's ability to expand the agency's ability to target unsafe carriers and addressing concerns about the rule's relationship to the December-enacted FAST Act highway bill.Read More
The first session will be held Friday, April 1 at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., from 10 a.m. to noon and 1:15-3 p.m. eastern time. The second session will be held Monday, April 25 at the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance Spring 2016 Workshop in Chicago from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m.Read More
The groups said their major concern is that the Safety Fitness rule "utilizes flawed CSA/Safety Measurement System data and scores," which Congress directed FMCSA to fix in the FAST Act highway bill passed in December.Read More
The new definition will include fewer carriers. But those carriers, once the change is in place, will be at a higher crash risk than the carriers currently deemed high risk, says FMCSA. Here's how FMCSA will now define "high risk carriers" ...Read More
Each carrier's CSA SMS profile now includes in its public view each carrier's "absolute measure" score in five of the seven BASIC categories of analysis.Read More
FMCSA has extended the comment period for the Safety Fitness Determination rule proposal 60 days, until May 23. The rule would do away with the Satisfactory, Conditional and Unsatisfactory ratings and replace it with a simple fit or unfit rating.Read More
Contrary to prior reports, FMCSA is not done with substantive additions to the interim CSA SMS public display -- carriers' "absolute measures," which underly the hidden percentiles in each BASIC category, will return in March to public view.Read More
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will hold the second of two public listening sessions Sunday, Jan. 31, to hear feedback from trucking industry stakeholders on a potential "beyond compliance" program.Read More
FMCSA has published a proposed rule that would reform the way it rates carriers and determines their overall safety fitness to operate, and the agency is accepting public comment on the proposal for 60 days.Read More

It was at the first Philadelphia Flower Show in 1829 that a sophisticated audience of gardeners first laid eyes on some spectacular, must-have plants.
There were rare and fragrant peonies from China, an exotic "coffee tree of Arabia," a double-white pomegranate, a strange new thing called a poinsettia, and a big-leaf magnolia with gonzo blooms measuring four feet around.
The 2013 flower show held earlier this month also debuted some plants, although they weren't nearly as bodacious as those first ones. Perhaps, in time, that will change. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the show's producer, wants to return to those heady days by persuading breeders to formally introduce their best stuff to the public every year at the show.

Israel Corners Itself
I've been reading Harvard University literature professor Ruth Wisse's new book, No Joke: Making Jewish Humor. In her chapter on Israeli humor, Professor Wisse discusses the comedy trio HaGashash HaChiver (The Pale Trackers) and writes about a 1981 post-election skit of theirs:
"The three then launch into a musical number that interprets avodah, the national ethic of labor, as ovdim aleynu, 'They're Working Us Over,' in which each stanza spoofs the promises made by politicians when running for office…The song's refrain [was], 'They're working us over…and we never learn…"
That refrain remains valid in both claims.
In response to a recent blog about the 104 terrorist releases, a Bayit Yehudi voter from Efrat comments, "It helps show the world the corner they've painted us into with this prisoner release. It shows the world their shame."
This is not the language of vigorous, sovereign citizenship—what Israel's national anthem calls an am chofshi b'artzenu (free people in our land). This is the language of evasion, feebleness, and dependency, confirming those who describe Israel as an American protectorate.
Addressing similar claims by Bayit Yehudi MK Ayelet Shaked, an excellent blogger from Jerusalem remarks:
"The last time I checked, [U.S. Secretary of State] Kerry does not work for Israel and does not represent us. Shaked's party leader, Naftali Bennett, her Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, and Shaked herself do represent us. If Israel is making admittedly stupid moves like releasing terrorist murderers—especially when we get nothing in return—maybe we need to be looking at our own leadership and not at the Americans."
Compare these essentially "America made us do it" claims with the recent observance of Tisha B'Av and associated lamentations about European Jews during the First Crusade in the 11th century. Those ancestors had neither an army nor a state as they faced demonic hordes seeking to destroy Judaism.
Yet despite such physically superior aggressors, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik zt"l noted about the many Jews who chose death rather than apostasy, regarding the lamentation Hacharishu Mimeni Va'adabera ("Be quiet, allow me to speak…"): "The enemies had a simple demand: all the Jew had to do was kiss the cross. The Jews could have saved their lives, but they would not agree to become apostates."
Now consider the State of Israel in 2013, which has one of the strongest militaries in world history and a Yom Ha'atzmaut. How perverse is the claim that this superpower releases murderers of its citizens due to being "painted into a corner"?
The painted into a corner mentality always means rationalizing and mitigating injustice, the terrorist releases being the latest catastrophic example. Before that, it was blame Obama and the EU when the government froze construction in Yehuda and Shomron.
Or blame John Kerry and Catherine Ashton when Hamas attacks cities like Sderot with what amounts to impunity.
Or blame their predecessors when Israeli soldiers expelled 8,600 Jews from Gush Katif.
Do anything except reflect upon one's own society and the regime it has produced. As Rabbi Yehuda Balsam commented this month in a related context, "If you're not so happy with your leadership, perhaps it's worthwhile to take a look in the mirror." (See 5:00 here.)
The awful truth is that Israel corners itself and shames itself. The awful truth is that Israel invites foreign contempt because it shows contempt for itself.
"When you have no self-respect, you cannot expect anybody else will respect you," Rabbi David Bar-Hayim of Machon Shilo has noted. Specific to the religious Zionist sector—of which Bayit Yehudi is the latest political incarnation—Rabbi Bar-Hayim observes:
"One of their characteristics is a tremendous naiveté regarding the authorities, the powers that be. They're always trying to read into their actions more positive motivations than truly exist. They're always willing to overlook evils done by these people." (See 34:50 here.)

Chair. Frame of steel tubing with rubber webbing. Upholstery: polyurethane with polyester filling. Floor tubing in brushed stainless steel. Cover in fabric or leather.
When a highly individual minimalist like Konstantin Grcic designs his first upholstered furniture, the result is bound to be extraordinary. With his chair, Chaos, he has stretched the boundaries of many conventions and nonetheless, or perhaps even because of this, managed to create the perfect seat: narrow in profile, opulent in the front and rear view, and uninhibitedly "cool" in effect. Chaos is a magical throne which ennobles everyday situations - sitting, waiting, observing - and gives them the aura of something special. A special place for special places.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Higher average sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes are linked to lower cognitive functioning, according to a group of researchers. The results come from the ongoing Memory in Diabetes study.
The scientists discovered that higher levels of hemoglobin A1C levels—a measure of average blood glucose levels over a two to three month period—are significantly associated with inferior performance on three cognitive tasks that require memory, speed, and the ability to manage multiple tasks at the same time. A higher A1C level is also associated with a lower score on a test of global cognitive function.
Previous studies have shown that people with diabetes are 1.5 times more likely to experience cognitive decline and dementia than people without diabetes. What is not yet know is whether higher levels of blood sugar increase the risk for cognitive impairment or whether impairment decreases the ability to control blood sugar levels.
The group intends to answer that question during the ongoing study, in which patients are followed over time and are tested three times during the trial. A goal of the follow-up is to test the hypothesis that lowering A1C could result in improved cognitive function.
This research appears online today in Diabetes Care.

Next MediaŌĆÖs Taiwan offices said the hackersŌĆÖ attack with a virus originated in France. The group posted statements and humorous pictures on its Facebook page apologizing for the problems and telling visitors that engineers were working to solve the issue.
Some commentators linked the online attack with the media groupŌĆÖs outspoken criticism of China. A group of activists was planning to occupy an area in the Hong Kong neighborhood of Mongkok Sunday as a protest against China and against the government of the Hong Kong Special Autonomous Region. The timing of the hacking on the eve of the protest might create the suspicion that the two were linked, reports said.
The Taiwan site reportedly returned online for a short time during the afternoon before disappearing again. Services were restored to normal before evening.
In a statement posted on the website, the Apple Daily said it was not guessing at the origin of the hackers, but it strongly reproaching the anonymous nature of the attack, which had gravely damaged the freedom of the press.
Next Media had always defended media freedoms and it would certainly not refrain from doing so now, the statement said, adding that its determination to stand up for basic freedoms would not change.
The Next Media Group was founded by outspoken Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai, who withdrew from his textile brand Giordano reportedly because his criticisms of ChinaŌĆÖs communist government were threatening the companyŌĆÖs expansion.
When he planned to sell his Taiwanese operations to a group of reputedly pro-Chinese tycoons in 2012, a public outcry turned into a campaign against the monopolization of the media. The deadline for the takeover to take place passed without a deal, leaving the print operations of the group still in LaiŌĆÖs hands.

Banking on Foreigners: The Behavior of International Bank Claims on Latin America, 1985–2000
The significant rise in foreign bank claims observed during the 1990s, following their steep decline during the 1980s debt crisis, reignited interest in understanding the behavior of these flows. This paper analyzes changes in foreign bank claims on the Latin American private sector over the period 1985-2000. We find that banks transmit shocks from their home countries (where banks' headquarters are located) and that changes in claims on individual host countries (those that receive claims) are correlated with aggregate changes in claims on other countries. However, over time, we observe that foreign bank claims have become less responsive to external factors. Also, we present evidence that the sensitivity of foreign bank claims to host factors diminishes, as banks' aggregate exposure rises. Finally, we find that foreign bank claims react more to positive than to negative host shocks and are not significantly curtailed during crises. Copyright 2005, International Monetary Fund

American Players' vet Arnold an oasis in Goodman's 'Other Desert Cities'
Chicago - Christmas Eve morning, 2004. Outside a blandly rich home in California's Palm Springs, a friendly game of mixed doubles has just ended. Siblings Brooke and Trip Wyeth have come home for the holidays, and aging parents Polly and Lyman are thrilled to have them.
That's the quietly hopeful beginning of Jon Robin Baitz's "Other Desert Cities," now on stage in Chicago's Goodman Theatre under Henry Wishcamper's direction - and featuring American Players Theatre veteran Tracy Michelle Arnold, making her Goodman debut as Brooke. »Read Full Article

You never know whom you're going to see at the dirty book store.
And if you're a married guy on the low, low, how low-can-you-go down, you may have a lot of thrills and chills in your future.
The shock of recognition, for instance. That one's a bitch.
And that kind of zingy, tingling alarm is really what Family Values, our new Inner Circle story by master-writer Bob Vickery, is all about (with illustrations by the great Josman):
Here's a taste (But watch it! It may be too hot for you, Orson!):
I push the buddy-booth button. The opaque glass wall goes clear, and there's the guy, with his jeans around his ankles, stroking his dick, his balls tight and plump underneath. His face is more relaxed now, more animated, and his wide, strong mouth curves up into a faint smile. Our eyes lock, and we eye-fuck each other as his hand slowly slides up and down …
And that's just an inkling of what's about to … um … come.

text: Ok so I have achieved success mostly. I have also discovered that there are at least 3 different lap docks and one works better than the rest. I think it is the Lapdock Pro… It is the one with a removable cable connector instead of a "dock" The one caveat is that to make it work with VGA (non digital signal) requires another $35 dollar converter that is now on order. It works great with DVI and HDMI outputs. MOST of the devices I would use this with are VGA only, so this is a must. Sill have to modify a USB cable to not carry the +5V from the Lapdock battery back to the motherboard that is also outputting +5v. This is to avoid releasing the magic smoke that makes things work. I think my portable self powered KVM is gonna be a great piece of kit. I have also dorked around with the droid bionic in my lap dock, and I gotta say it is pretty cool and just a step or 2 away from being a real "laptop" replacement. Pair this with the Ubuntu phone project (which becomes Ubuntu desktop edition when plugged into external display) and it would be a pretty sweet setup.

Charlie Manuel's job should be safe for one reason. It probably is safe for a different reason. Somewhere in between is the story of this ever-more-desperate Phillies season.
The reason the manager should be safe is obvious. He has won a championship and five consecutive division titles and deserves the benefit of the doubt in this injury-ravaged year. Until the return of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, it simply isn't fair to judge the manager for the Phillies' 31-37 record and perch at the bottom of the National League East standings.

Just before he died, Philip Seymour Hoffman's friend, Tony-award winning actor Brian Dennehy, tried to rescue him from his demons.
Recalling the conversation on John Fugelsang's SiriusXM radio show Tell Me Everything, Dennehy remembers he began by telling Hoffman, "I like what I've done, I've enjoyed what I've done, and I'd like the chance to do it some more."
He then urged the troubled star to, "See if you can find a way to enjoy it yourself," reminding him that, "This is good stuff that we do [as actors]."
Both Dennehy and Hoffman were famous for their onstage portrayals of Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman, and were longtime friends outside of acting. After battling substance abuse on and off for years, Hoffman died of a heroine overdose in 2014. He was 46.
"I suspect that what happened with Phil was that he got everything he ever really wanted, and for what ever reason, it just wasn't enough," the actor continued.
Dennehy added that he had struggled with his own demons over the course of his career and was fortunate to escape relatively unscathed.
"I've flirted with it myself – sometimes more than flirted – and I got lucky, because I survived it first of all, and realized that it's stupid," he explained. "Raising self-destruction to some kind of elevated status is dumb."
Noting that he had witnessed the same fate befall other famous friends, like Chris Farley and John Belushi, Dennehy said he's come to realize that self-destructive behavior does not make a better actor.
"Mostly they are lying to themselves," he said. "You need every bit of intelligence and consciousness that you can possibly muster to do the right work.
"People think they can get better because they screw themselves up in some way or another, and they almost always make a mistake."

Hi, can this be apply over sunscreen? Thanks
Hi gorgeous! Bathina "take a picture...it lasts longer..." can be worn over sunscreen. You'll be radiant and protected from the sun! xoxo, B
Is it safe for pregnancy?
Hey hot mama, all our cosmetics and skincare products are perfectly safe to use while pregnant…but just to be super cautious, we recommend waiting until after your baby is born to use Benefit body products. We hear you're glowing anyway.
Does Benefit make this in a perfume version? I am in love with this scent! When I put it on I catch myself sniffing my hands just to get a whiff of this lovely scent. Does Benefit make this in a perfume version? Or anything close to it?
Maybe Baby to me smell very similar! I don't know what the notes are in Bathlina, but try Maybe baby. Hope this helps.
There isn't a Bathina perfume, but we just launched a Bathina scented body oil mist called "Soft to touch...hard to get". http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/soft-to-touch-hard-to-get#BVQAContainer
How to remove? If I need to use makeup remover to remove it?
Just washes off like a lotion.
No, you don't need makeup remover. Soap and water will do the trick.
It doesn't look like it has a lot of product. . . How long does it last? Like if you were to use it. . When do you use it?!?!?!? Like as a lotion everyday or only when you want to (week or so) ????!!!! If you used it everyday then how long til you hit pan? How long until you run out?
It's not a lotion, this is something you'd put on over your lotion. I put it on when I'm completely dressed & ready for the day. It adds a dewy, very sheer sheen. It's cream based, and goes on silky. Trust me, this will last a LONG time even with every day use- for example, in the Summer. My guess would be at least a year, as you only need a very small amount- and it suggests to "buff it" to promote more shimmer, so it will truly go a very long way.
You can use take a picture...it lasts longer anytime you want to add a little shimmery sheen to your normal routine. It should last 3-4 months with daily use.
Does it rub off or stain clothing/fabric? Just concerned it could rub off and stain clothing in the same way make up does. I have a shimmery tinted sunscreen that looks fabulous on my skin but it has stained some of my bathing suits.
It stays on the whole day, and there was no stains on my dress after the wedding
It really depends on how much of this product you're applying. A little goes a long way and this balm is better absorbed than a lotion or cream. Hope this helps!
highlighter Since this body balm has a bit of pinky shimmer, can this be also used as a highlighter (in face) ?
I wouldn't use this on my face, I think it would be too thick. But then again, I have very sensitive skin. I would just stick to High Beam or That Gal if you're looking for a pink glow.
We don't recommend you use this product on your face. If you're looking for a highlighter, check these out http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/category/makeup/cheeks/highlighters
Is it a powder or creamy?!
It's texture is a lot like lip balm. Thicker than That Gal if you've used that, but not as thick as Dr. Feelgood. Definitely moisturize with lotion first though!
I know it sounds strange, but it's both really!
is this product for women of color? will it make you look ashy?
The way I see it, this product is to add a dewy, youthful glow to the skin- on any skin color. Since it's not a powder, it's creamy, I would recommend this to women of color! My own skin tends to be drier as I age... if anything it would help protect against ashy skin. I actually think this would look even more gorgeous on women with a bit more color than I have!!!
Take a picture... it lasts longer works well with all skin tones however if you are not sure, I would suggest going to one of our counters or boutiques to try the product before you purchase it. You can find the closest location to you by going to our website and clicking on store locator or copy/paste this link to your browser http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/brand/storeLocator.
How many months can it be used once opened? (Expiration Duraion?) I bought it 2 years ago and used it for a while. Now I want to start to use it again, but I am afraid it has already expired since most Benefit products can only last 6 - 12 months once it opens.
Most of our products have a shelf life of 36 months once they've been opened unless it has an active ingredient in it, then you would have an expiry date on the product.
Does this product moisturize? Before I apply "Take a picture...it lasts longer" do I need to apply lotion to keep my legs & elbows from drying out or does the balm moisturize by itself?
I would apply a light lotion before applying, while the product is silky it is not that moisturizing. Plus, you would gleam even more with moisturized skin! I apply it after I'm out of the shower and after I've put on lotion. Don't forget sunscreen, too!
The balm is somewhat moisturizing however if you have really dry skin, do apply lotion before.
Is this product fragrance free?
This product has a very subtle floral fragrance. I'm very sensitive to fragrances and the scent of Bathina is so sublte that I can't smell it unless I place my nose about 1 inch from the area I apply it.

ECHL Hockey Team Will Wear "Ugly Sweaters" In A Game
Ugly sweaters are about to become the next fashion craze. Mark my words.
Ugly sweaters are about to become the next fashion craze. Mark my words.
The first game of Ted Nolan's return as head coach of the Buffalo Sabres is the only game the Sabres have won so far. They've lost three in a row since then, including Thursday night's 4-1 loss at Philadelphia.
It was one of those games where if he was still in charge, the fans would have been calling for Darcy Regier to be fired. Even with the hiring of Pat LaFontaine and Ted Nolan to fix the Buffalo Sabres, there's still a lot of work to be done.
There are touchdown dances and goal dances in hockey, but hockey is one sport where no one puts on an elaborate production after slipping in one in the net.
That may be about to change.
Since late last season when the Buffalo Sabres were playing at their worst and the fans at First Niagara Center were so quiet you'd think they were paying their respects at the funeral of a friend, there was one fan who would always bellow "Fire Regier." He always picked the perfect time to do it too, because everybody was thinking the same thing.
It took 10 games to do it, but the Buffalo Sabres finally sent their fans home happy for a change.
At least they figured out how to get started on the right foot.
As hockey fights go, this one was pretty intense and a little strange.
Offensively challenged would be a good way to describe this year's edition of the Buffalo Sabres. They pass when they should shoot and shoot when they should pass. And the Sabres made it an easy night for New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundquist, who stopped all 29 Buffalo shots to pick up a 2-0 shutout victory.
Lindy Ruff won his first game back at First Niagara Center while Buffalo Sabres coach Ron Rolston is still looking for his first win at home this season.
For all the criticism Buffalo Sabres general manager Darcy Regier gets, he's pulled off some pretty good trades. The one that sends winger Thomas Vanek to the New York Islanders falls into that category.
Same ol', same ol' for the Buffalo Sabres -- another embarrassing loss.

David Bruce: You might see swipe fees this summer
If you travel this summer, don't be surprised to pay a little more for gas or a bottle of soda if you use a credit or debit card.
A court settlement in December allows merchants to pass credit card swipe fees onto consumers. Swipe fees are paid by merchants to banks and credit card companies for processing credit card and debit card transactions.
This fee is usually around 2 percent of the purchase price if you use a debit card, and 3 percent or more if you use a credit card.
The charge is not permitted to be more than the merchant's discount rate for credit card transactions.
A separate law passed in 2010 allows gas stations to charge credit card customers a higher price.
Pennsylvania is one of 40 states that do not prohibit swipe fees, so you could be charged one.
So far, merchants in northwestern Pennsylvania don't seem to be following this practice, but that could change, said John Abel, senior deputy attorney general for the Pennsylvania Bureau of Consumer Protection.
"These fees can be legally passed onto the consumer," Abel said. "But there are rules the merchants must follow."
The main one is that the merchant must notify the consumer in a "clear and conspicuous way" that they are changing a swipe fee.
"They must do it before they swipe your card," Abel said. "You can't pump your gas, then look at the receipt and see there's a swipe fee."
Most merchants who pass along a swipe fee post signs near the counter, Abel said. Online merchants must post a notice on the first page that references credit card brands.
If a merchant doesn't do that, Abel recommends consumers file a complaint with the Office of Consumer Protection by calling (800) 441-2555 or visiting www.attorneygeneral.gov.
Most merchants are probably doing what they have done for years to deal with swipe fees: Increase the price of their goods.
The downside of that strategy is that consumers who pay by check or with cash are also covering the cost of swipe fees.
So savvy vacationers should pay attention when they hit the road this summer. If you pay with a credit or debit card, you might want to avoid the stores that charge swipe fees.
But if you pay with cash or by check, those might be the very stores you want to visit.

Subject: The Response of a Los Angeles Lakers Fan to the Replacement of Phil Jackson, the Most Successful and Entertaining Coach in NBA History, with Mike Brown—Yeah, Mike Brown from the Cavaliers
Author: Travis Hunter with Dr. Baloncesto Puro
The Los Angeles Lakers fan, upon learning that Phil Jackson (player, coach, possessor of 13 NBA championship rings, Zen Master, warrior poet, teacher, hilarious disdainer of in-game interviews, fisherman, traveling skewerer of "cow towns" and "backwaters," non-caller of timeouts), will be replaced by Mike Brown—yeah, LeBron's old coach, Mike Brown—enters into a very distinct and dynamic cycle of dealing with said replacement.
The Laker fan first experiences surprise and confusion, then disapproval and anger, then acceptance and understanding. These first stages pass rapidly, before the Laker fan cycles back to recognize the many genuine reasons to be excited about the coming Mike Brown era.

Police have arrested a 43-year-old Amarillo man accused in the death of his girlfriend.
Michael Paul Buse is accused of killing 26-year-old Daisy Ruth Strout by running over her with a Chevrolet Avalanche, police said.
Buse was booked into the Potter County jail about 6:20 p.m. Monday on a murder charge. He was arraigned Tuesday and his bond set at $500,000.
Police said the couple were arguing in the Avalanche before Strout exited the pickup and was run over.
An autopsy was conducted Monday in Lubbock. It revealed that Strout's upper body was crushed, police said.
Strout's body was found about 4:20 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Chisum Building, 1220 S. Georgia St. Traffic investigators began conducting the investigation into the death as an accident, but soon turned the incident over to the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit because of suspicious circumstances. Evidence suggested the incident had occurred at a very low speed, investigators said. They determined Strout might have been killed between midnight and 2 a.m.
Investigators conducted two interviews with Buse before arresting him, police said.
"Was it intentional? Only the suspect can tell me that,'' said Lt. Gary Trupe of the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit. "They were there together, and she had been in the truck."
Buse told police Sunday morning at his home that he was unaware Strout had been involved in an accident. Witnesses also gave police a time line that assisted in the investigation.
The pair was last seen at a bar on Sixth Avenue hours before the woman's body was discovered, Trupe said.
Information from witnesses led to the second interview with Buse, who was arrested immediately following that interview. Buse also gave investigators permission to examine his pickup. Police took the vehicle to their garage, where they examined it Sunday and Monday.
Trupe said as soon as he saw it, he knew investigators would want to examine the pickup.
He added that marks on her clothing were similar to the pickup's tire treads.
Police Monday were processing the pickup for blood, fiber and tissue evidence, Trupe said.
People with more information about the incident are asked to call the Special Crimes Unit at 806-378-9468.

Update added by user Sep 18, 2014
UPDATE: As expected VIII marketing changed their name, they are now "Gold Rush 1849." Location: 300 Hamilton Ave in White Plains on the 4th Floor.Again please do not waste your time.
I am not letting up on these people.
Pyramid schemes are illegal, and have been around for century do not fall for it.The best way to take them down is public knowledge!
Original review posted by user Sep 17, 2011
VIII Marketing in White Plains, NY is currently posting for Entry Level jobs.I recently applied to an add for an Account Manager position.
A manager got back to me almost instantly and I set up an interview. When I went to the interview I felt an uneasy feeling, as the name of the Company was not listed in the building registry, the manager had told me simply to come up the 4th floor. When I got there the sign on the door, was printed from a computer, and hung with a piece of masking tape "VIII Marketing". I felt skeptical, but as a recent college grad, desperate to begin an Entry Level job in the Communication Field.
I proceeded. From the looks of the interior of the office, everything looked fine. I went through the first brief interview, with a "Ken Doll" type, Colgate smile manager, who talked about the Company more then he did myself. He told me about the growth opportunities and how they supported the 'marketing" and "promotions" of top names like Verizon Fios, and Visa Mastercard, Growth opportunities seemed very attractive to me,because at this point in my life it was an absolute front runner in my career search.
He concluded the interview, stating he would be giving candidates a call after 4pm, whom he wanted to come in for a second interview. I left the office, and was actually excited. At around 4:30 that night I did get a call, and a 2nd interview. Mind you I come from about an hour away from where their office is, and had to pay hefty train fare, yet I called sick out of my current job and went to the second interview.
I started to sense something was not right, the moment I stepped into the office that second day. First, I looked around and noted that the candidates waiting around, where very "shady" looking in appearance. I was told to wear 'corporate" attire, and was dressed as such, coming from a Corporate environment in the past. However, I looked around at a bunch of men with four o'clock shadow, woman with wrinkled shirts, and clearly people who had no clue.
From one look I thought 'These people can't be on their 2nd interview". I asked a woman next to me, with the yellowed white collared shirt, and she proudly announced that indeed she was on her 2nd interview. It wasn't long before I was called into the office of the hiring manager, and I was introduced to an "Account Manager' i was told I would be shadowing him for the day. I have to say he was an extremely nice, well spoken, well dressed man.
I thought, okay maybe this is legit. However, we then proceeded to go downstairs and into a car, this is when again I felt a little on edge. The car was a Mercedez driven by again, another Account Manager whom I was told was "retraining" I noticed that his 'Verizon Fios" folder was extremely unorganized and he himself was simply unkempt. My first thought was "Really?
this guy?" I started asking questions about the position, but the Account Manager seemed to divert the topics by asking me what I knew about "marketing". We finally arrived at our chosen destination, and I followed the Two Men into a small business. The Account Manager knocked on the door and announced "I'm Verizon here to check your bill' The confused store owner stated " I don't have Verizon". The Account Manager almost in que when into a sales pitch about why he should have Verizon and how much money he could save him.
The store owner finally agreed to sign an application even though he was still undecided and I think he only agreed so that we would "go away". We proceeded to take each buisness from one side of the street, to the other, and see how many we could trick into changing over to Verizon Fios. I still was on the fence to how legit this was, and over lunch began asking some more questions. Thats when the Account Manager whipped out a "Pyramid' Type scheme, explaining that if I took a work hard/play hard approach I'd for sure, become a Manager in no time.
I have to admit I did like this idea, and then he started talking about the 100% commission based salary. Which I knew was very very shady especially because I recently had interviewed with a Company for an Account Manager position who had offered a base salary on top of the Commission which is usually how it works in a legit company. I was promised that in my first week or so I"d make 400-600 and buy my third week, into my first few month be making over 1000 a week. I asked how long their training period was an I was told 3 days which again I thought was extremely skeptical.
Finally, we went back to the office, where I filled out a brief Q&A about my experience, and I was called into the office and instantly offered a position. The entire train ride home I thought...something is up...this can't be that easy, and what type of place only pays commission? I was up half the night when I remembered somthing the account manager had mumbled to me, and that was "we are affiliated with a company called Cydcor" I typed into Google "Cydcor" and the word Scam, an instantly found people with similar experience, who were given false promises, and basically starve to death. They were not reimbursed for gas money and travel expenses when the job requires that you drive from door to door.
I took one step further and googled the name of the Manager, whom I had interviewed with, and found numerous posts about young entry level professionals he had scammed, when he worked under the name Luxe Marketing . I sent an email 6 oclock saturday morning denying the position and linking him to the various complaint webstites his PR person should get on pretty quickly. I am very hurt, angry and frustrated, I spent a lot of money and excitement preparing myself for my interviews, and traveling to the Company. The only way you can be successful here is a 'Get rich, quick' type attitude.
If you are willing to make it through the "entry level" stage, and make a few sales, pocket some quick change and advance to the assistant manager role where you become the conman who hires unexpecting graduates to do your "dirty work" then I guess you could probably see a six figure salary as promised to you. However I ask..what happens to Cydcor when verizon catches on to the fact that their account managers are basically any desperate person, with experience or not, being hired to go door to door, with ruffled shirts, ketchup stains, and tags still left on their discounted thrift store suit? They will change their name yet again?
Or maybe they will *** enough people, that they will be able to actually afford a real sign to put up on their door.In White Plains they are called " VIII Marketing" BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

They switched buildings at the beginning of the year, they go by Richard Allen now. If you get a call please reject it. It's nearly slavery. 12 hour work days, you pay your own gas, mileage, car wear and tear, food, sometimes even airfare. They brainwash you to think its ok and that there's light at the end of the tunnel, there really isn't. They promise you an office if you just work hard enough, but they fail to mention that most of the new offices they open up do not make it past the first year. Please beware. You will be paying them to work there.1 0 Reply

Beware: This company now goes by the name "Gold Rush 1849." They are still at 300 Hamilton Ave in White Plains on the 4th Floor. I went there for an interview several months ago. Other than the name change, everything else is still the same. I wish I hadn't wasted my time or my money (I paid $20 for parking during the "second interview.")0 0 Reply

This place runs an ILLEGAL Pyramid Scam. This is ILLEGAL in the USA and eventually everyone involved will be prosecuted and this place will be shut down.
I worked here for over a year; they stole a year of my life. I made barely any money. They kept saying do not worry the money will start coming and to work harder.
They pull the same thing on everyone during the interview process which really is only a TWO time process, but they pretend its a THREE time process; eventually if you ever make it to being a manager you will be a part of this dream shattering process.
The hire rate here is 99.99%, as long as you know how to speak the job is yours. The goal is for the mangers to hire as many people as possible so they can make ILLEGAL money through you. They brain wash you for a few weeks tell you things will improve, but they never do and once you see that you are too deep to quit and think you will become a manager soon and should just sweat it out. The sad part is the harder you work and the better you do the longer it takes to become a manager because if you make money for them going door to door they will keep you in the field for as long as possible.
If you have a college education, do you really want to be going door to door soliciting some verizon scam and let me remind you they do not pay for your travels. (you may lose money)
It is a huge redflag when they tell you your working solely on commission and promise... you will make a ton of money and that you give a % to your boss (any dodo should see right through this and decline the job on the spot) however some people like myself get tricked, but most do not. Every day in the shady office is just people interviewing that is the illusion it is all people interviewing. Most people will quit within a week when they see what is going on.
They have different companies and offices set up in NY and CT, do not be surprised if they switch office buildings on you.
Please do not get trapped like I did.
I can not wait till these dirtballs get taken down by the police. Show more

I had the exact same thing happen to me today. I got an e-mail from them and although I never applied directly to their firm, I did JUST post my resume on Career Builder yesterday. I was also excited to have an interview scheduled so soon and I thought it was a little weird that my educational experience did not at all match their criteria for the job. The girl who called me was "Dana" and she seemed really sweet and legit. She asked where I was coming from and if it would be a problem to get to their office in White Plains. When I told her where I lived, she remarked that her boyfriend lived in a town near mine so she sounded like she could relate to me. We had a short conversation about traffic and she even said "if you're running a few mins late because of bridge traffic or construction, we totally understand just let us know" which to me seemed too good to be true. No interviewer has ever told me it's ok to be running late, we even expect it! I was interviewed years ago by a company called "Vector" who were a pyramid scheme as well door to door selling knives or something like that and I was afraid that this was going to be the same type of thing. It is very discouraging as someone with a master's to find that people are trying to lure us in under false pretenses and I definately do not want to be associated with anyone scaming innocent people like myself. I'm so glad that I googled it and if they were to have me come back for the second interview, I probably wouldn't go... especially if I was told I had to be there all day and if I did go and was told to go into a car with two strange men, that would be a 911 call on my part. I watch too much CSI to go along with that ****. Thank you for posting about this disgusting organization. Show more0 0 Reply

I literally just got off the phone with them. Thanks so much for this post. I will be cancelling my interview with them immediately!
I am already involved in sales -- a friend of mine invited me to a meeting and they gave a great speech about making money quickly blah blah blah. I got excited and got caught up and now I hate it! I can't deal with that again!

Thanks a lot for this post!! I just got a call today morning from this cheerful rep and she scheduled an interview for me tomorrow itself. I was like.. wow I've go so many rejections, so to get an interview with the manager, sounded awesome. I didn't remember applying to their company, but I applied to so many places so I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't remember. Anyways to I googled the site to know about the details and the job description, and after the first search, the rest were all scam, scam scam.. and I read all of them.. And I'm so glad I did.. I'm not wasting any gas money (even though i stay just 20 mins away) for this.
A few months ago I got a call from this other company Aflac and they called me for an interview.. and when I reached there there was about 20 ppl seated in a room, and a lady basically took a class on the company and this was also commision based, and she was showing how lucrative it is to work that way.. blah blah blah.. and there was no interview.. and then later they called for an interview.. btu I didn't go.. cos it just wasn't right..
Anyways I'm sorry about the bad experience that many people had, but talking about it helps others.. So thanks a lot, I'm very grateful!

The same happened to me today. I posted my resume on CareerBuilder and not an hour later I got a call from an enthusiastic rep stating that "the-viii" hiring manager liked my resume and they want to schedule an interview for tomorrow. I was skeptical from the start. She said it was for an account manager position and when I asked for what, she said it was business consulting. It just didn't make any sense. She told me the company was EE (I don't know what that is) and I remembered that I received an email about 7 minutes before her call. The caller ID and the phone number on the email matched, so I decided to peruse the viii website. It is full of grammatical errors and made-up words. The word "expedentially" doesn't mean anything, and the word "continually" was used incorrectly. Legit companies proofread their websites. That's when I stumbled across this website. If only there were a place to report them.
They should know better before attempting to hire someone with a grad school education. Shame on them. Moreover, what company would call themselves the-viii ? How do you even pronounce it? What a waste of time.
Sep 04, 2012
Thanks for the heads up. When I first got the call I was excited but then I remember I never applied for them. Then I googled them and found this link. I had already set up an interview for tomorrow but canceled it as soon and I read this, thanks again.0 0 Reply

I have just started my job hunt in the big apple & was very excited this morning when I got a call from VIII HR person. I do not remember applying to them but later realized my resume has been picked from Career Builder. I was told about the "Account Manager" position. Very happy about it, I started reading about the company,I could not quiet get what they were really into. Upon reading further I bumped into these set of comments.
Thank you very much, I am going to decline going to the interview to save myself from a disappointing experience to be the start of my job hunt process.
Thank You

@SMH: re: comment: If you understood anything about the company or about sales and marketing at all you guys would understand how the whole business is networked
NYC Girl: Funny thing is, I know a lot about sales and marketing and won an award in my University for it. My knowledge of sales and marketing conditioned me to recognize red flags from pyramid scheme companies. Good sales and marketing does not require door to door solicitation selling Verizon and visa master cards!! They don't even offer a car yet require employees to "walk around†dangerous neighborhoods. I spoke to an employee at the company who admitted that he had been dropped off in the middle of nowhere, and expected to try to make unrealistic sales of Verizon, the company most of the time buys to many Verizon accounts that they can not realistically sell or handle, the employee suffers, anyway this particular person had no car, VIII sales managers gave him a 'ride', never picked him back up and even if he did have a car; VII company doesn't even reimburse gas, or expenses! It is for sure an absolute high risk, money pit, joke.
