Complaint Review: All Tune And Lube International

All Tune And Lube International All Tune and Lube Franchise Rip Off Millersville Maryland
I was told things that really convinced me that I was doing the right thing. They even called my home and convinced my wife because I used her as an excuse for my skepticism. I paid them approx. $11K to sign on then the crap started.
I went through the loan process and was approved. They kept insisting that I pay the franchise fee but someone told me that once I paid it it was not refundable. I waited until I had all of my ducks in a row before I committed to the $32k franchise fee.
I entered the franchise school in December 2006. I opened in March 2007. I found out then that I was on my own.
I was instructed to purchase all of my equipment from them and then I had to pay someone to provide all of my electrical hook ups, buy all of my piping for air service to my lifts and buy my bulk oil containers. Then the real rip off started.
All Tune passed me around to all of their buddies in crime. They purchased all of my supplies from Service Champ, their one source supplier. I received more Bosch plugs than I could sort through only later to find out that Bosch is not used on most vehicles...that is if you don't want comebacks.
They started out my coupon campaign for $10.90 and they sent so many to the same people that one customer could sit in the waiting room and give coupons to several customers who came in without coupons. Basically, I was giving oil away to get customers. I didn't mind that but then I found out that their advertising was $685 per week minimal or 8% and they sent them to the same 10,000 customers weekly.
The operations manager that they sent down to me spent most of his time on the cell phone (arguing with his wife) and the rest on the internet looking at porn sites. I still have his screen name now and some of the sites he visited even though he tried to erase his history. I knew nothing about the industry when they lured me in and nothing when their quack ops manager left me.
I learned what they taught me only to find out on his next visit that I was giving away my a*s down here (his words). I was following the coupons and my training. All Tune took my dreams of being a business man and turned them into a nightmare.
I bought everything from their partners in crime and later as I learned better I found that I could get the same services cheap and make my own coupons and paper products.
Long story short, ATL, Inc. gave me no help or support whatsoever when things really got bad. Even my debtors and landlord gave me break but if I could count on one thing from All Tune is that they took money from my account religiously every Saturday morning.
They made sure that I was trained in reporting my income to them so that they weren't short changed but other things were my fault. I have witnessed several All Tunes go out of business in my area...at least four. All are telling the same story.
I want to hear from others who have gone through similar experiences and if we can come together as one I want to launch a class action suit against them. This (ATL) is a predatory franchise business. My credit was in great standing and now I owe so many people it is ridiculous.
I am on the verge of losing everything that I have worked for all of my life. When I told ATL that I was thinking of contacting other franchisees about a suit they immediately set the same ops manager down. He buttered me up all week and at the end of his visit he tried to get me to sign paper work stating that I was at fault. Like hell!!!!
There is more to this story. I want you to know that I did a bit over $200K worth of business in 10 months. I paid over $50K in royalties. An average of 25% vs. the 15% that I was told.
I put in over $57K out of my own pocket. That is what I put in after the business was up and running not to mention my credit card debt. I am probably not a good business man for sticking with their formula for success but I didn't fail from lack of trying. I failed because all of the money was taken.

can anyone help me?
Thanks Yuri Kotliarov and R for your suggestion about clc.
Thanks a lot Andrew Bliss!
That flaw went unnoticed for quite some time. One of the reasons being that low temperatures (forecasts) were retrieved in deg F and later converted into deg Celsius before printing. That way, I could get temperatures as low as 0 deg F (-17.78 deg C) but not any lower.
I've made necessary changes and will upload the file soon.
A nice function. Parsing is generally good, but failed for negative temperatures when I ran it. To fix:
For CURRENT_CONDITIONS and FORECASTS change [\w\s\d_/<>=%":.]* to .*
For TEMP, LOWS, and HIGHS change [\d] to [-\d]
Also, not everyone will want an output structure. Get around that with:
function outputstruct = gweather...
...%(your whole function)
if nargout
outputstruct = Output;
I agree clc is bad practice for a function to be distributed, otherwise great job
Cool! But clc is not a good practice in function.

While many of you are enjoying Spring Break, others are dreaming about vacation. Am I right? Well, recently, Photojournalist Brian Holt and I hit the road to visit a new expansion at Elvis Presley's beloved home, Graceland. We left on a Wednesday morning and returned that Friday. Yes, a VERY quick trip to Memphis, but great stops along the way. To break up the 6 hour trek, we made a pit stop in Nashville just off the Old Music Highway. (I'd highly recommend it!)
WATCH VIDEO: Nashville Pit stop, The Loveless Cafe
If you're craving downhome food, Southern charm and proven hospitality, pull up a chair and get ready to dive into a plate of crispy fried chicken and biscuits at the Loveless Café. In business for more than 60 years, it's a timeless, tasty tradition. (FYI, huge portions. Photojournalist Brian Holt and I split the sampler platter- fried chicken, fried catfish and yes, barbeque. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert.) Open 7 days a week, lovelesscafe.com is located on Highway 100 (just off I-40) in West Nashville.
WATCH: Gates of Graceland and Priscilla Presley (WE MADE IT)
The chicken and biscuit refueling was just what we needed to tackle the last leg of the trip. Three hours later, we were walking in Memphis… literally through the gate of Graceland. I'd like to say Priscilla Presley greeted us at the door. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. However, we did have the chance to talk with Elvis' former wife and the mother of his child, Lisa Marie. She was incredibly gracious. The trip highlight for Brian was showing Priscilla how his Go Pro worked. 40 years after his death, Priscilla still misses the King terribly. She's happy to share even more Elvis with the world.
WATCH: Graceland expansion celebrates even more about Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley's Memphis is the largest addition to the King's estate since it opened to the public in 1982. The expansion spreads 200 thousand square feet in size (imagine three NFL football fields) across the street from the Graceland mansion. It features a dozen exhibits showcasing memorabilia including hundreds of items that have been in storage, a showroom of the King's favorite toys on wheels, a soundstage, even two restaurants named after his parents, Vern and Gladys. And yes, you can order Elvis' favorite sandwich… a PB & B. Yes, that's peanut butter and banana. I'd never tried the concoction before. I must say, it's pretty good. Another highlight- holding Elvis' gold microphone. No, I didn't drop it!
WATCH: Elvis The Entertainer, the center piece of Elvis Presley's Memphis.
Elvis the Entertainer is truly the cornerstone of the entire expansion. It tells the story of Elvis' career by decade. Prepare to be wowed by the largest collection of Elvis memorabilia in the world. (HELLO JUMPSUITS!) Graceland Director of Archives Angie Marchese is incredible. Much of the exhibit is her vision. She gave us the grand tour.
WATCH: Tour The Guest House at Graceland
After a 12 hour day, thankfully we didn't have to travel far to sleep! The Guest House at Graceland is a brand new, high end resort. (Very Swanky!) It's next door to the Graceland mansion. In addition to 450 rooms decked in Elvis' contemporary style, there are 20 suites designed by Priscilla Presley. There's even a 464 seat theatre that plays Elvis' movies and concerts.
WATCH: The Graceland Mansion
Elvis Presley Entertainment Director of Public Relations Kevin Kern gave us a tour just after the home closed to the public. Thanks to the expansion, many of the rooms have been restored to their original look and purpose. For example, the racquet ball building once again displays a court instead of memorabilia overflow. (Side note- Kevin and I worked together at my first TV job, WKAG in Hopkinsville, KY. It was great catching up! Also, Brian accidentally left his go pro inside the mansion that night. Too bad the battery was dead!!)
WATCH: Tour The Legendary Sun Studio, the birthplace of Rock and Roll
This is a must see in Memphis. Rock and roll pioneer Sam Phillips opened the recording studio on Union Avenue. The label was the first to record many music greats including Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. Sam Phillips' secretary is actually to thank for discovering Elvis. Sun Studio is open 7 days a week. Artists still record here nightly.

Linklaters has beaten Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in a pitch to win a first-time role for China National Gold on its talks to buy a stake in UK-listed African Barrick Gold (ABG) from Canada's Barrick Gold.
Norton Rose and Shearman & Sterling have also won jobs alongside Linklaters on the potential deal that would see the Chinese state-owned resources group acquire parent company Barrick's 74 per cent holding in the Tanzanian miner.
Linklaters has taken the role for new client China Gold after London partners Iain Wagstaff and Nick Rees, Hong Kong partner Teresa Ma and newly-promoted Beijing partner Annabella Fu took part in a pitch to advise the Beijing-headquartered company on the deal, beating off competition from two firms including Freshfields.
Norton Rose corporate partner Chris Pearson in London is leading for the Toronto-headquartered parent company Barrick, while Shearman London corporate co-head Laurence Levy and fellow City corporate partner Jeremy Kutner are advising longstanding client ABG.
ABG has also turned to in-house lawyers Katrina White, the general counsel and company secretary, and legal counsel Laura Rich.
The usual 28-day 'put-up-or-shut-up' deadline required under the revamped City Code on Takeovers and Mergers has been waived, meaning the timescale for the deal is unclear. Barrick confirmed the discussions on 16 August. Press reports estimate the deal value at roughly £2.5bn.
Background to this deal:
China Gold is a new client for Linklaters, which has made a successful push to win outbound work originating in the country. It notably won mandates from China Investment Corporation – to which it has seconded lawyers – on its acquisition of a stake in the UK's Kemble Water (24 January 2012) and from China's Bright Food when it bought a majority stake in Weetabix (3 May 2012). The instructions follow a decision last year to send three European corporate partners including City rainmaker Matthew Middleditch to Asia to boost the practice (10 October 2011).
Shearman's Levy is a longstanding adviser to ABG, leading it and parent Barrick Gold through ABG's £581m IPO on the London Stock Exchange in 2010 together with City finance partner Mei Lian. Linklaters London corporate partner Charlie Jacobs advised the banking consortium led by JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley (30 April 2012). Levy and Lian recently advised ABG on its first foray outside Tanzania when it acquired Aviva Mining Kenya (25 July 2012).
Norton Rose's Canadian legacy firm Ogilvy Renault has advised Barrick in the past, for instance on its $7.3bn acquisition of Australia's Equinox Minerals in 2011. Norton Rose and Ogilvy merged last year (15 November 2010).

EL CERRITO — Dozens of residents walking away with free plants at last weekend's Earth Day celebration were taking part in an innovative new program in El Cerrito that's part of a worldwide trend.
The seedlings were part of services offered by sponsors of a seed library that has just been established at the city's Recycling Center at the east end of Schmidt Lane.
The seed library, to be housed in card catalogs in the center's office lobby, will contain more than 100 types of seeds that residents can "borrow" and plant in their gardens, according to program co-sponsor Tom Panas.
Among the seeds available will be nine different types of lettuce, five varieties of broccoli, 15 varieties of herbs (including six kinds of basil), and 14 varieties of flower seeds, Panas said.
Borrowers are encouraged to donate seeds harvested from the plants that they grew from the originals back to the library, said co-sponsor Robin Mitchell, who was handing out plants at the Earth Day festivities April 26 at the Community Center.
"If people need seeds that we don't have we'll get it to them," Mitchell said. "We'll also grow out seedlings for them if they don't want to raise the plants from seed."
Mitchell said seeds can normally be kept up to about three years, but "some seed that's left in the ground for 100 years will germinate eventually."
There also will be seeds from plants that are native to the El Cerrito area, including primrose, phacelia and milkweed, according to Panas.
Milkweed is an attraction for caterpillars, which grow into Monarch butterflies, but the caterpillars are gradually being eradicated with pesticides, Mitchell said.
"We're starting to lose biodiversity," she said. "The milkweed serves as food for caterpillars which are (in turn) food for birds, and the butterflies provide pollination."
Panas said he was thinking at first about putting the seed library in El Cerrito's library branch but decided that the recycling center was "a better place for it."
"The center is open more hours and our likely target population goes up there," he said. "It's something small and sustainable and a perfect match for the space and place."
El Cerrito is joining Richmond in establishing a seed library. Richmond's seed collection program, Richmond Grows, was established in May of 2010 and is housed in its main library, said Katy Curl, Richmond's director of library and cultural services.
"People are really happy to have it here," Curl said. "We have been getting a lot of inquiries from places wanting to establish (seed) libraries, and we're trying to catch up on that."
There are more than 260 seed libraries operating worldwide with another 140 or so that are being established, said Richmond Grows co-founder Rebecca Newburn,
Richmond Grows has a "create a library" section on its web page, RichmondGrowsSeeds.org, that has been used to inspire and support other communities to open seed libraries, Newburn said.
"The best way to help your community's seed lending library is to plant a garden," according to the website. "By using the seeds that are available free of charge, you can benefit from the plants and help to replenish the supply at the library."

You know the other day when we had our event that Mother Dearest failed to document on the kamrah? Well we had to hold it at a different place than usual because there was this paintball event thing on and they had spent 57948765967958765 dollars to set it up and blah blah blah.
So I arrived at our sleddoggery base last tuesday evening, ready to go walking with my pals and this is what I found...
Snow? Wrong! Hail? Wrong! You didn't read the title of my post if you guessed that!
Being the gluttonous self that I am, I had to taste test...
The white ones have pink paint and the green ones have green paint. They reckon 60 boxes of 2000 paintballs were emptied on our field.
I ate some, of course, and had to rush out to the loo about 2am to relinquish my hold on said Paintball Delights. The paint is non-toxic and aparently after a few days, the paintballs break down and desintegrate.
Mother Dearests kamrah is too rubbish to get a good field view, but on Sunday, the Paintball Paradise was still out in bloom!
Here is a daytime shot of the Paintball Pudding Paradise:
Note Mother Dearests gawky shadow effects. And a close up of the deliciousness:
The paintballs had started to break down but we haven't had enough rain for them to disappear. Most of the pink ones had started to change to a clear white liquid (cos Mother Dearest in her grownupness was jumping around the field popping the paintballs all over herself).
They tasked slightly better on Sunday and because they were runnier, I could eat the paint and spit the shell back out. More efficient you see.
I hope they disappear soon, I'm sick of rushing to the loo!
By the way... calling all Black Labradogs for Dexter's competition, I am busy preparing my entry and post now!

Study of Various Decision Tree Pruning Methods with Their Empirical Comparison in WEKA
Classification is important problem in data mining. Given a data set, classifier generates meaningful description for each class. Decision trees are most effective and widely used classification methods. There are several algorithms for induction of decision trees. These trees are first induced and then prune sub-trees with subsequent pruning phase to improve accuracy and prevent over fitting. In this paper, various pruning methods are discussed with their features and also effectiveness of pruning is evaluated. Accuracy is measured for diabetes and glass dataset with various pruning factors. The experiments are shown for these two datasets for measuring accuracy and size of the tree.

text: Human Rights Observatory Insurgents Attack Nigerian Town After Announced Cease-fire New clashes between soldiers and Boko Haram militants are reported in northeastern Nigeria, just days after the government said the sides had agreed to a cease-fire. An army officer and a member of a civilian militia group told VOA that insurgents attacked the town of Damboa late Sunday. A state intelligence official said soldiers repelled the attack and killed 25 insurgents. The incident and other deadly clashes in Borno state over the weekend have cast doubt on the cease-fire...Read complete article© Voice of America - Monday, October 20, 2014

Barmy weather: Thunderstorms and sunshine
BRITAIN'S bonkers weather yesterday saw scorching 28C heat hit parts of the country while thunderstorms battered coastal areas.
And the topsy turvy climate was set to continue today with a tropical blast threatening downpours and floods.
It means the Isle of Wight Festival could be a washout.
The music fest was battered by storms and lightning yesterday while other areas of the UK were completely sun-drenched.
Families headed straight to the beach in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to enjoy the most of the hottest day of the year.
Competitors enjoyed perfect conditions in the Great North Swim in Windermere in the Lake District.
But visitors to the Channel island of Guernsey were greeted by a dramatic thunderstorm.
"If you catch a thunderstorm it is likely you will see some torrential downpours before things cool down"Met Office spokeswoman Nicky Maxey
The Weather Network's Chris Burton said yesterday's scorcher in some areas would be followed by more storms today.
He said although the Isle of Wight festival should be drier today, revellers could still be hit by showers and cooler weather for the next two days.
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said: "There is the risk for some potentially heavy and thundery downpours to push in from the near continent, in particular in some parts of the south."
The Met Office said yesterday's heat will be nudged out of the way by a pool of colder air pushing through today and tomorrow.
Spokeswoman Nicky Maxey said: "There are some very heavy showers on the way particularly in the south where 30mm could fall in an hour.
"If you catch a thunderstorm it is likely you will see some torrential downpours before things cool down.
"Cold air will push the hot air out of the way leading to a marked difference in temperatures."
Bookmaker Coral is quoting odds of even money it rains on all three days of the Isle of Wight party.
But race fans at Royal Ascot should escape a drenching next week.
Coral's Nicola McGeady said: "The latest weather betting suggests that Britain will experience highs and lows over the next week with rain in some parts and soaring temperatures in others.
"All eyes will be on Royal Ascot from Tuesday and although we're not expecting a sizzling week, the odds suggest race-goers are in for a good spell."

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Plano (Texas) Plano West Rivals100 running back Soso Jamabo has been a busy man since competing in the Rivals.com Rivals 100 Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour.
First was a trip to South Bend, Ind., where he was able to take in all the Notre Dame Fighting Irish had to offer.
"It was an awesome trip," Jamabo said. "We got out there and got to talking with the coaches and got to go to dinner with some of the players twice or three times and I got to hang out with a lot of the players. So it was a lot of fun."
Article Continues Below
There were a few aspects of the visit which caught Jamabo's eye.
"They took a lot of interest in me. They showed me that," Jamabo said. "I got to talk to the athletic director, I got to see Compton Ice Arena, which was awesome. As far as what stood out the most it is probably the team camaraderie. They were all together all the time. All the underclassmen were hanging out and they just gave me great advice as I move forward in the process."
While in South Bend, Jamabo was also able to see how he would fit in at Notre Dame.
"I watched film and the thing about them is they were not telling me how I could fit in they were showing me," Jamabo said. "They already have the plays. They already have players like me who have come through. So there was a difference between telling me and showing me. It was awesome to see that."
Following his trip to Notre Dame, Jamabo made his way to UCLA.
"Totally different scenes from South Bend to L.A., so it was a big change I guess," Jamabo said. "It was awesome seeing all these mountains and all of that, but it was pretty cool. I got to ride around with Jordan Payton. He showed me around and showed me the ropes. He was real cool. I got to call coach Mora and talk with him on the phone since I didn't get to see him. Hopefully after this trip I'll get to see him. As far as the visit it was awesome, it was amazing."
Over the weekend Jamabo competed at the B2G Elite Camp held at California Lutheran University, and before he ends his travels he has a few more destinations on his schedule.
"Right now I have no set plans except for the Opening and Peach Jam," Jamabo said. "I just talked to Brady White who's going to Arizona State and I'm probably making a plan to go down there at the same time."
Of course, there has been plenty of speculation about where Jamabo will play his college football. Following his trips to Notre Dame and UCLA there was plenty of talk about the Fighting Irish and Bruins taking the lead, and Oklahoma, Baylor, and Texas A&M remain strong programs in his mind. So are there any leaders right now for the standout running back?
"I wouldn't say that," Jamabo said. "I guess I've seen a little more. After I get through with this camp and I finally get to sit down and start working out at home I'll talk to my parents and start to separate things and I'll start to get my top schools. But right now it has not separated quite yet."

Chick Corea & Béla Fleck at the Kauffman Center on April 6
Chick Corea & Béla Fleck
Sunday, April 6th | 7:00 PM
Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts | Muriel Kauffman Theatre
[button link="https://tickets.kauffmancenter.org/single/eventDetail.aspx?p=7079″ type="big" newwindow="yes"] Get tickets now![/button]
Whenever Chick Corea and Béla Fleck take to the stage, genres always fly fast and furious. With a combined 35 Grammy awards, Corea and Fleck expand the horizons of musical composition, blending jazz piano and bluegrass banjo into a new realm of imagination. Performing together, these two master musicians weave out duets of staggering virtuosity, creating mind-blowing, magical performances.
Chick Corea
Called "a luminary" by the New York Times and "a venerated maestro" by the BBC, Chick Corea's restless creativity knows no bounds. The 20-time Grammy Award winner's groundbreaking band Return To Forever launched the fusion era of the 1970s. From his work with flamenco great Paco de Lucia to headlining the Vienna's Mozart Celebrations this year, Chick's whole career is the stuff of jazz lore, an amalgamation of influential, limit-stretching, genre-bending musical experiences.
Béla Fleck
Béla Fleck, considered the premiere banjo player in the world, lives to improvise and loves to work with unexpected musical fusions. His "blu-bop" mix of jazz and bluegrass with his Flecktones was an unexpected commercial success, as well as critically-acclaimed and award-winning. Fleck has won 8 Grammys and is the only musician to be nominated for Grammys in jazz, bluegrass, pop, country, gospel, composition and world music categories.
Watch this fun clip of Chick and Béla rehearsing one of their many duets:
Béla Fleck has said, "Chick is my guy — the musician I would want to play with, if there was anybody I could play with, or learn from," and seeing them play together is an incredible experience. Get your tickets today!

Gold pleased with Lions improvement
Lions boss Tony Gold watched his team battle out a competitive goalless draw with unbeaten Cockfosters at Broxbourne's Goff's Oak Stadium to end a run of three defeats.
Neither side could break the deadlock despite having good chances but the Lions manager was happy with a share of the points.
"I'm really pleased that we managed to take something from the game," Gold said. "Cockfosters are unbeaten and, in contrast to us, have started the season very well.
"We've had a couple of really tough games lately and I think we should have taken at least a point when we lost to Harpenden Town.
"It's always nervy towards the end of a game when it's 0-0. Both teams had chances and they almost nicked it at the death but for a fantastic last-ditch tackle from Danny Berg.
"We just needed something to break for us and it didn't today, which has been the story of our season so far.
"We have played really well over the past two games and if that continues then it will only be a matter of time before we make someone pay."
After a quiet opening 15 minutes, the match was suddenly lit up when Lions Aron Barnes rattled the Cockfosters bar with a rasping shot.
At the other end, Cockfosters' Dougie Kissule missed a good chance as his shot flew inches wide of the Lions far post.
Lions, however, always looked more threatening on the break but their quality in the final third failed to match the build up.
Continuing the eventful spell before the break, Josh Kennet sent a free-kick just over the visitors bar.
Meanwhile, Cockfosters twice went close themselves as the whistle approached, Anton Lewis hanging a left-wing cross up for Dan Jones who headed wide. Then Dean Adams dribbled in from the other side and set-up Jones again, whose first-time strike hit Dan Lee in front of goal.
Neither team's fortunes changed in the second half. The closest Lions came was when Dean Nyman burst through one-on-one with Mitch Swan in the visitor's goal, but he dragged the ball too far wide.
Then substitute Max Kyte could have won it for the Lions but blasted over when well placed in the final minutes.
That miss might have proved costly as with seconds remaining Cockfosters broke through and looked destined to nick it but Berg made a superb tackle to avert the danger and ensure a well-earned point.
Gold said: "Our next three fixtures are winnable games. We need to continue to work hard and be patient. We have played some great football in the last two games and with a little more consistency from the players the results will start to come.
Lions: Dan Lee, Andy Myers, Danny Berg, Aron Barnes, Adam Myeroff, Kyle Bentwood, Josh Kennet, Andy Glynne (sub: David Cohen), Paul Linger, Dean Nyman, Sammy Ross (sub: Max Kyte)

The three-judge bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam, and comprising justices Ranjan Gogoi and M Y Eqbal, expressed shock over the incident and took suo motu cognisance of the matter. The bench passed the order and directed the district judge of Birbhum to visit the place and file a report within a week.
The shocking incident of the gang-rape of the 20-year-old woman was allegedly ordered by a village head at a kangaroo court in Labhpur, about 200 km from Kolkata, as punishment for falling in love with a man from a different religion. The girl was gang-raped by 13 people after a salishi sabha (kangaroo court) punished her on January 21. The woman is under treatment and her condition is stable.
Reportedly, the eyewitnesses said that the gangrape was done on a bamboo platform for the whole village to see.
Among those who brutalised her were people old enough to be her father, said the girl's family. The victim and her lover were caught, tied to a tree and assaulted, after which they were asked to pay a fine of 50,000. The gang-rape was meted out as punishment when the girl expressed her inability to pay the amount.
All the accused, including the village head (known as morol), have been arrested. The 13 accused have been arrested and sent to police custody.
