Wells Fargo & Company Complaint - Do not apply for a student loan with Wells Fargo: fraudulent, plays games with DOE rules
Review by
Comments (12)
SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA -- My father, now 87 and in poor health, cosigned for my daughter a student loan from Wells Fargo. She was just starting college and had no credit history at the time, and Wells Fargo rejected my application because of "insufficient income." (Why would I be applying for a loan if I had the money to send my child to college?) My father also was in good health at the time, and his retirement account and pension were sound before the economy tanked and reduced his monthly income by 30 percent.
When my daughter graduated in 2006 she began making regular payments on the loan. However, she decided this year to enter graduate school fulltime. At her school's suggestion, she applied for a deferment: but she was told by Wells Fargo they "don't give deferments," unlike federally-sponsored loans. She would have to apply for a three-month forbearance, which would allow the loan to continue to accrue interest, and which she would have to apply for at the end of every semester. She also has to make payments over the summer break unless she takes summer classes, which she won't do because she wants to use those months to work fulltime.
But the sleaziest thing Wells Fargo has done has been to try to force my father to make payments on this loan while it is in forbearance. He's received calls from the office in South Dakota, where apparently there are few banking regulations, in which he has been threatened with a "ruined credit history" and the probability that the account will be sent to a collection agency.
I checked the loan agreement, and there is nothing that says a cosigner must make payments while the loan is in forbearance. I also see nothing that says the debtor will not be able to receive a school deferment. It seems that Wells Fargo is just making up the rules as it sees fit, since the loan my daughter took was a private one and not federally-subsidized.
I am in the process of filing a complaint with the California state attorney's office, but in the meantime I want this warning to go out to parents and students and all the well-meaning relatives who might co-sign a loan with Wells Fargo. Do not deal with this institution! Seek out a federally-subsidized loan with another loan company or institution. (But not Sallie Mae: that's yet another complaint.) And do not allow the financial aid officer of your student's school to talk you into taking one of these private loans. This unfortunately happened to my daughter. I wish we had walked away from the college, but she was so bent on attending it my father and I caved in.
I am also really disappointed with the college financing process. The schools themselves have turned into a sales racket that puts millions of kids into years of debt.

Last time I checked, deferments are not a right granted by the constitution or law. It would seem, then, that the loan documentation would state if a deferment is possible. If the documentation is silent, the deferments don't exist.
The calls to Dad during forebearance are pretty scummy. You guys may want to check to see that it actually is in forebearance in their records, and that they aren't showing it as late pay. There may be some bad records.

Private loans cannot always get deferments. Regular DOE loans thru sallie mae, edfund, greatlakes, etc, CAN get deferments for things like unemployment, hardship, etc.
You CANNOT defer if you are in default, but can if you are past due (unsuially less than 90 days)

*giggle* maggie, I got an image of Judge Judy in my head when I read your comment. I swear, she has to tell folks that several times a week.
Posted by Eloise on 2009-10-06:
Is Wells Fargo contacting your father because your daughter isn't paying the interest? Don't get angry it's just a question, and would explain why they are contacting him. Also what does his poor health have to do with the loan?

Posted by CAcollegemom on 2009-10-07:
goduke: The loan is indeed in forbearance. My daughter faxed a copy of the email received from Wells Fargo approving her application.
raven2002: She was not in default. She was very prompt in repaying her loans. I raised her to be responsible.
MaggieMcT: My father co-signed the loan in order to help my daughter. Why is this his fault anyway? She has lived up to the terms of the loan agreement. It's Wells Fargo which is taking advantage of loopholes in banking regulations.
Eloise: I don't know about paying the interest....I thought that was optional and not an obligation. But it's become harder for him to understand why the bank is harassing him for payment. He's easily confused and almost as easily intimidated by the calls from Wells Fargo's representatives. I'm working with an attorney to get POA so I can oversee his finances, but in the meantime he has to deal with these people directly, and they are not pleasant. It makes me furious that Wells Fargo has received so much money from the bailout, but still wants to extract a pound of flesh from a man who is a World War II veteran and has worked and saved all his life for retirement.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-10-07:
CA, this line has no bearing whatsoever on your complaint "but still wants to extract a pound of flesh from a man who is a World War II veteran and has worked and saved all his life for retirement." The issue at hand is the loan documentation. If the account is in forebearance, and your father is receiving collection calls, somewhere there is a breakdown of communication. Your daughter needs to contact the collection department to find out the problem.
Now, your father is receiving the calls because as the cosigner he is equally responsible and they only call cosigners when the primary can not be reached. Your daughter needs to call them.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-10-07:
CAcollegemom: to be clear, I never said your daughter was in default. I was responding to the poster above with with general information about student loans, as I used to manage for a collection agency that collected for the institutions I mentioned as well as many others.
Posted by Eloise on 2009-10-07:
Thanks for coming back & answering my question. I hope that there will be no need for Wells Fargo to contact him in the future, as I'm sure it frustrating for him. The best way to do this is to sit down with Wells Fargo find out what your daughter owes them and pay up. He most certainly deserves peace at his age and it is up to you to see that he does. I hope that your fathers health will improve.

My daughter has a school loan that was sold to wells fargo Bank , they are the worst. we have tried to get printouts and the only thing we receive is a copy of the payment just made. Also they started charging interest as soon as the load papers were signed and she was still in school. We are going to the Banking Commission to see what we can do. They are the worst people to deal with, no common sense with the Employees on the other end, they are like computers trained to say what Wells Fargo wants or lose your job. I would rather Lose my job than work for a crook.

Summary: As the availability of powerful computer resources has grown over the last three decades, the art of computation of electromagnetic (EM) problems has also grown - exponentially. Despite this dramatic growth, however, the EM community lacked a comprehensive text on the computational techniques used to solve EM problems. The first edition of Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics filled that gap and became the reference of choice for thousands of engineers, researche ...show morers, and students.
The Second Edition of this bestselling text reflects the continuing increase in awareness and use of numerical techniques and incorporates advances and refinements made in recent years. Most notable among these are the improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, finite element, and transmission-line-matrix methods. The author also added a chapter on the method of lines.
Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics continues to teach readers how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve EM problems, give them the ability to expand their problem-solving skills using a variety of methods, and prepare them for research in electromagnetism. Now the Second Edition goes even further toward providing a comprehensive resource that addresses all of the most useful computation methods for EM problems. ...show less

Best Joico Product I've Tried Thus Far

Comments about Joico Body Luxe Thickening Conditioner, 10.1 fl oz:
First: I have baby fine, wavy, medium thickness hair. This is the best Joico Conditioner I have tried thus far, and I have tried the Daily Care and Silk Effects conditioners as well. This conditioner is thick and moisturizing without weighing the hair down. It definitely improves the overall appearance and health of the hair. The fragrance is strong, but not overpowering. If this is used with the Body Luxe Shampoo and Body Luxe Volumizing Foam you will get an increase in volume. You do have to apply heat to activate the foam, so this is lightly damaging depending on how you apply heat. Also, the Shampoo contains a mild sulfate, which my hair dislikes.
Distribute a small amount to damp hair, leave in for 1 minute and rinse.

I need a tough, cheap, laptop. It does NOT need to be state of the art -- I mostly use it for basic internet access (via an aircard) and word processing and basic website building. I'm not rendering video or playing games more sophisticated than Solitaire on it. What it does need to be is TOUGH. It's going to get hauled around in my backpack wherever I go -- my laptop is with me almost 24/7 and I use it on my commute to work and lunches at the day job. I run a web site that needs regular TLC (because of moderated user submissions) so I check it several times a day. It will ride with me, daily, on dirt roads. It'll be exposed to dust and animal hair and weather extremes and all sorts of things laptops hate. My current laptop has been used so much that the paint's worn off both the keys and the wrist wrest, and the on/off button is looking a bit used. It's on its fourth battery. It probably gets 7-8 hours of use a day. So -- what laptop brand do you guys think is toughest? Another Toshiba? Something else?
Okay, my two year old Toshiba is on its last legs. It's been beat to death and has performed far better than I ever expected. I'm hard on laptops. *grin*

Rock Island police are ready to step up patrols against those standing around. Underage loitering is no longer welcome or even legal in the District.
If you are between 17 and 20 years old you better have good reason to be in the district after midnight. "Nothing good happens after midnight for kids that age." said RIBCO Owner Terry Tilka.
He says underage loitering has long been a problem in the District. "There were many a nights they would show up in groups of from anywhere to 20–100 coming from house parties coming from after school events and hanging out between a bunch of night clubs at two in the morning."
Something police now have the power to stop. "You have a concentrated number of taverns that are in that area that do not cater to people who are under 21." explains Rock Island Police Chief Jeff VenHuizen. "And if there's no meaningful purpose for being down there the only thing that can come about is trouble and we are trying to avoid that."
The ordinance which began in January bans those under 21 from being in the District from midnight to 3 a.m. "This is not an attempt to discourage individuals who have a legitimate purpose for being in the District." said VenHuizen. "Officers are going to have to articulate that an individual was in fact loitering."
Tilka hopes the ordinance makes a difference yet he's taking a wait and see approach. "It's like any ordinance just depends if it gets enforced or not. This will be the test because summers coming."
Police say they have already issued a handful of tickets since January, but they expect to see more now that the weather is warming up.

George - The Springbok Sevens squad will have to show unity in everything they do to succeed at the Emirates Airlines George SA Sevens this week, coach Paul Treu said on Wednesday.
"The faster you become a unit, the faster it will start showing in results," he said.
The team's goal this week was to pick up where they left off in Dubai last week when they beat Australia 19-12 to win the plate final of the desert leg of the HSBC World Sevens Series.
"Confidence and the belief the players gained in their abilities after last week's performances is what we will look to build on this weekend," said Treu.
The relatively inexperienced Springbok Sevens squad's confidence will be boosted by the support they expect from the local community.
Nearly 3000 fans turned up to get the "BlitzBokke's" autographs at a pre-tournament signing session in the Western Cape city.
Treu said the harmony in his team was almost the same as it was when they won the George-leg in 2008.
"When we won the tournament here two years ago we were a tight-knit unit and we made it difficult for opponents to break our lines.
"And, even when they did get past us the guys showed great commitment in chasing down their opponents, and that is the type of energy we will need this weekend."
The Dubai tournament was the first taste of top-flight sevens rugby for six of the men who represented South Africa last week.
After a nervous start on the first day, the young guns started playing with more comfort and that showed in what they achieved the following day.
"There [were] definitely signs of improvement on the second day in Dubai and I cannot remember when last we had a 19-7 lead over Fiji," said Treu.
"And then there was the brave fight-back the guys staged against Australia [in last week's plate final] which showed the character that is in this team," he said.
The Springboks face Zimbabwe, Portugal and Argentina in Pool D and will be well aware of the upsets these sides caused in the opening tournament.

This will be my 37th season covering high school football in Southern California.
I've lugged around computers that weighed 10 pounds and used pay phones that required a dime to call collect.
I've been kicked off fields by athletic directors who thought they were more powerful than a police officer. I've been cursed at by parents who believed in the power of screaming.
I've seen some of the greatest high school players in Southern California history: John Elway, Russell White, Justin Fargas, Mark Sanchez....
I've seen the game change, from an era of running on first, second and third down to passing on first, second and third down.
I've seen highly rated players flop. I've seen underrated players become stars.
I've seen coaches quit under pressure and coaches endure under pressure.
I've seen the focus of high school football evolve from preparing teenagers to become men to being about exposure, landing college scholarships and winning at extreme costs.
Every fall, I come back for another season, because I have the best job in the world. I get to tell stories about teenagers trying to make a difference, whether it's in the classroom, on the field or, preferably, both.
As fun as it is tracking players who might make it to the NFL, even more fulfilling is seeing players grow up and become community leaders.
I saw Dean Herrington and Jim Bonds throw spirals at Newhall Hart. Now they're head coaches at Mission Hills Alemany and La Cañada St. Francis. I saw Troy Thomas try to cover receivers at Encino Crespi. Now he's the head coach at his alma mater.
I saw a Venice quarterback who became a police detective, a Crespi quarterback who became an F-16 pilot. I saw a Sherman Oaks Notre Dame receiver who became an emergency-room physician, and a Harvard-Westlake linebacker who became an orthopedic surgeon. I saw a Chatsworth running back who became a Navy commander.
Every season is unpredictable. In 2012, Santa Margarita was the overwhelming favorite to win the Pac-5 Division title. Then quarterback Johnny Stanton went down with a knee injury. Long Beach Poly, considered a failure after a 56-0 loss to Harbor City Narbonne in the second game of the season, rose from the dead and won it all.
As the season begins this weekend, there should be lots of twists and turns. Bellflower St. John Bosco starts out as everyone's unbeatable No. 1 team, but a 17-week season won't be decided in one week, one month or one showdown game.
On the field, it's about focus, resiliency and leadership. Off the field, it's about staying healthy, staying eligible and staying unyielding in times of adversity.
Story lines to watch: What will Harry Welch do in his final season coaching at Santa Margarita? Who will emerge as the best quarterback in the Southland? Will West Hills Chaminade and Gardena Serra get to play twice, as everyone expects? Can Corona Centennial outlast Vista Murrieta and Upland for Inland Empire supremacy? Who will win the looming City Section battle among Crenshaw, Venice, Narbonne and Carson? Which player will earn a college scholarship the old-fashioned way — based on performance instead of just potential?
I'm ready to once again drive the traffic-jammed freeways of Southern California to observe the excitement of high school football.
Let's not forget that we're watching teenagers trying to do their best. Save the booing for the pros.

LOS ANGELES — LOS ANGELES (AP) - Days after interviewing her husband, one of the nation's most popular Spanish-language radio hosts chatted with Michelle Obama, making jokes while also tackling issues like obesity and the election.
Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo interviewed the first lady at Univision's studios in Los Angeles on Thursday, frequently reminding her his morning show can now be heard in Washington, D.C.
When Obama demurred that she rarely listens to the radio because she no longer drives her own car, Sotelo asked whether she lacked gas money.
Obama eventually promised to ask the Secret Service agents who drive her car to play his show.
She told Sotelo healthy eating isn't about throwing out the family cookbook but about making recipes healthier. She also encouraged Latinos to vote Tuesday.

Kimmy, it's not wrong to be happy with respect to our relationship. It's not wrong to feel safe at home with our loved ones. If we weren't happy, if we didn't feel safe, then I feel what our brave men & women are risking their lives for is all for naught. They are over there (and here stateside, too, working hard) exactly so we can continue our lives in peace and happiness.
While I'm not happy that they must do this job, while I'm not happy they can't be home safe with their loved ones, I trust they will do their job to the best of their capabilities, as they've been trained, and trust they will avoid harm where ever they can - I trust for them and their families.
I'm glad your brother is safe!
Hugs, Meow

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Wii)

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 (Wii)
Date: 04/11/11
Advantages: good graphics, fun to play together, long lasting
Disadvantages: None unless you are a bit rubbish like me and end up throwing your remote when you get stuck!
Let it be said straight away that I am not a gamer by any means. I enjoy having a go on the wii and things but I soon become frustrated with game play and so I much prefer to play on dancing games where I am at least pretty good at them! However, my son loves to play on the wii and so when I purchase games for him I am often looking for games which we will be able to play together and this is how I came to purchase Lego Harry Potter years 1-4.
The game loads in the same way as any other wii game loads in that once the game is inserted in to the wii you need to click on the game icon with the wii remote and allow it to load. With this Lego game once you have started a new game the sequence is quite impressive as you are shown Harry's arrival at number 4 Privet Drive as a baby and so of course meet Dumbledore, Professor Mc Gonegal and Hagrid all as Lego characters which is nice.
You begin the game in the leaky cauldron where you have the options to go to Hogwarts to continue your game, replay a level, play free play or go through to Diagon Alley. I have to say that initially my son and I did get quite confused about where we were meant to go and how we would play the game but after a few plays we became more familiar with what things led where. In Diagon Alley there are various shops in which you can buy wizarding supplies and characters once you have found their token in the game using Lego studs which you earn through the game.
The game basically follows the principles of the Harry Potter films in that you follow the story in order of the films picking up on key events as you go along and so you will have to battle the troll in year one, the snake in year two, rescue Sirius Black in year three and complete the maze and battle Voldemort in year four. My son and I found that as the story of the game followed these patterns that we had a bit of an idea of what to expect and what might be coming next but this was not always the case. On many occasions my son and I would get lost within the game, especially as we first began to play, and so we would have to head upstairs and have a look on you tube as a guide to find out what we needed to do. It is handy though that for the most part there are arrows pointing the way in Hogwarts and so you can usually find where you need to go with a bit of practice.
As you go through the game you will find that there are different characters in which you can play certain levels with and that you will sometimes need to use their characters to get past a certain part of a level, for example in year one to follow the troll you need to turn in to Ron's rat who will crawl through some pipes and then release a wall for the other players to go through. You will also find that much like within the films the characters need to complete tasks in order to learn certain spells which are required in the levels. All of the spells obviously are used for a different purpose and it can be tricky at first to remember what spell is required when but the game only gives a few spells at once and you will usually find that the latest spell you are learned is the one required. I have to say my son was much better than me at remembering which spells did what and he would sometimes get frustrated with me as I forgot or pressed the wrong button to scroll through all of the spells at our disposal!
You can play this game as a solo player or as a multi player and my son and I more often than not played it together as it was a bit of fun family time (lets pretend here that I didn't get frustrated on more than one occasion and throw my wii remote across the room!) What is really good about this Lego game in comparison to some others is when the game is being played with two players the screen splits in two. Now with other Lego games prior to this the screen would split but if one player was lagging behind the other player could not continue but with Harry Potter you can just go off and do your own thing without feeling stuck. Of course my son and I tried to stay together for the most part and it was usually him waiting around for me to catch up!
Obviously the aim of the game is to defeat all of the baddies at the level ends but this isn't all there is to it at all. As you go through levels I have explained already that you learn new spells and with these spells as you go through Hogwarts you can use them to fire magic at items which will then release Lego studs which you can then save to purchase new characters in Diagon Alley. However, you cannot purchase characters until you have found them hidden in the game and so there is a lot of scopes to go back and replay levels even after you have beaten all of the baddies in the game. My son and I have not found or bought all of the characters as yet even though we have completed all of the levels and so there is a lot of playability left in the game for us as we try and find lots more studs, characters and other bonuses which may be lurking around. During each level you are also encouraged to collect as many studs as possible so that you can achieve true wizard status at the end of that level and if you get this you will be rewarded with a gold brick which can be used to unlock bonus content and rewards.
My son and I found that some level ends were much trickier than others and to be honest I was expecting that the end level where you battle with Voldemort after he has killed Cedric would be the hardest but this is not really the case. I wasn't allowed to play this level under orders from my son and he played it on his own and beat Voldemort with ease to be honest! Despite this he was absolutely made up that he had managed it on his own and so he got a real sense of achievement despite it not being as difficult as we had anticipated.
The graphics in the game are wonderful as far as I am concerned. I love the fact that key things from the films are recreated using Lego animation throughout the levels and I think it really adds a lot to the game play as you go along. The fact that it will pause too at key moments to show this just allows you a few seconds break from game play which I think is a good thing too. The controls to play the game can be tricky at times because you need the nunchuck accessory to control the characters movement whilst the buttons on the main wii remote are used to swap characters and cast spells and such like and I would often forget and press the wrong buttons but I don't think this really hinders the game and for a more experienced game player I am sure this wouldn't be an issue at all. My son had no issues with the controls at all apart from when we hadn't played for a while and his memory would just need refreshing.
This game can actually be purchased from just £11.00 now because later on this month the Lego Harry Potter years 5-7 will be released! The new game is already on my son's Christmas list and to be honest I am looking forward to playing it with him! I would certainly recommend picking up this game on the wii because I do think it is a fun game which you can play with your children.
Thank you for reading my review!
Summary: A game I really recommend

Stuff About Winter Running...
Saturday, 08 March 2014 00:10
ED. Sure, we should have posted this last month. The reason we're doing so now is because yesterday the Groundhog saw his shadow AGAIN.
By Marty Munson (triathlon.competitor.com)
Winter running breeds some interesting misconceptions, so we decided to get the straight story. We enlisted the help of one of the key scientists studying cold-weather workouts: John Castellani, Ph.D., research physiologist at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Mass. See if you can separate the truths from the lies below—and stay warm and fit all winter.
Winter running burns more calories.

Juicy Scandals...

By Devon Palmer (palmertri.wordpress.com)
The track and field world was up in arms this weekend over an absurd scandal. Remember our scandal at Ironman Florida where the champion was nearly disqualified over a helmet sticker issue? THIS SCANDAL IS WAY JUICIER!
One of Minnesota's ass-kicking pro runners, Gabe Grunewald, demolished the women's 3k. She just jetted away from the field at the finish. Race won by a healthy margin. She was a national champion and headed to the indoor world championships. Cool stuff for us Minnesotans. Another reminder of how great we are relative to Wisconsin and Iowa. You heard me.
Well as you can imagine, when running at high speed on a tight little indoor track there may be jostling. And if you've seen the movie Days of Thunder, you know that RUBBING IS RACING (if you're unfamiliar, take thirty seconds to get familiar by...

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm getting tired of hearing about OJ Simpson. He's an ex-football player who obviously still craves the spotlight and his latest run in with the law is further proof of this man's undying need for attention.
There's only one solution to dealing with this menace
Considering the theft charges against him you got to lock him away for a while. It's that simple he needs to be locked away away from the people who actually OBEY the laws that are set aside for everyone's safety. It's bad enough when he tries to profit by writing a book about how he would theoretically have killed his wife now he's resorting to robbery? Is he in that bad of financial shape?
Oh wait he IS!!!!
Something's got to be done it should be that this man should not see the light of day again and I figure that the longer he stays there the better off we'll all be.

***SOLD*** KC lights ***SOLD***
I have my KCs up for grabs. These are in good working order. They are the daylighter series. These are black color and the long range beam. These are super bright. I had them mounted on the windshield pillars of my TJ. They have very low use time as I only used them here and there a couple times offroading.
SOLD I will get pics up soon. Last edited by snodevil; February 8th, 2013 at 03:14 PM. |

zoe moon astrologyOur week ahead is really about one big thing; the FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE in Scorpio. Yowza this one is a doozie. This is the sign that hosts Saturn and our current tests and responsibilities as well as our current need to master something new in the realm of working through third party situations, loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, settlements, alimony, child support, taxes, insurance, investments, commissions, royalties, mortgages, partner's money, our sexual intimacy, issues or attractions, divorce, and death. It's also the realm of power, control, obsession, and the deepest kind of transformation.
The week builds to a culmination over any issues or interests we have in these areas. Full Moon's bring things to a head as we reach some peak we've been striving for and celebrate achievements or recognition, or they mark a time of endings as things wrap up for good. The fact that this is a Lunar Eclipse adds more of a wallop to the mix, making things that much bigger.
If you realize that Saturn moved into Scorpio in October of 2012 and will tour this energy field through September 2015, then not to return for another 29 years, you get an idea of how important the lessons and ambitions in these areas are to all of us now. The fact that we have an Eclipse culminating upon these themes right now just fuels our need to make something happen or end something along the journey.
We had a Solar Eclipse giving us a huge push forward into new territory last November, 2012 in Scorpio and we will have another Scorpio Solar Eclipse in this field November of 2013 and October 2014 giving us more boosts forward, but this is our ONLY Lunar Eclipse in this sign during the Saturn transit so IT IS IMPORTANT to allow for endings and note the major things coming through for you as you continue on your serious journey of self-mastery and ambition in your sex life, with the divorce, dealing with life and death transformations, or any major financial interest you are working on solidifying.
On the day of the Eclipse, Thursday, Saturn will sit with the Moon while Mars will oppose them. This adds their energy to the day bringing a long term commitment, ending, limit, structure, ambition, responsibility, authority figure, or loss to what is peaking while putting the need to do something about being valued or making money into the mix in a passionate way. Neptune harmonizes with the Eclipse so there is something Karmic, fated, magical, inspired, imaginative, artistic, spiritual, romantic, or tied to hospitals, addictions, or research that should work with the climax you are hitting now.
The first part of the week is emotionally building to this high point on Thursday so you may be preoccupied with the impending climax. Monday the Moon is VOID the entire day, it's better to wrap things up and incubate ideas over launching new ventures if you can wait. Venus and Saturn oppose so you may be experiencing some serious interest over love or money playing out with another person with a subject line of endings or commitments. This can feel like you can't quite access the love since Saturn here can feel somber, remember it will pass and don't push others for emotions that aren't available right now. It can also put you one on one with someone over shared resources and serious choices here.
Tuesday and Wednesday Libra Moon gives us focus on relationships. Tuesday this will be about adjustments made with the partner, attorney, specialist, client, competitor, or agent. There is potential for at least one very big offer, talk, agreement, sale, writing project, meeting, or decision that should benefit.
Wednesday the key people will align with those talks and agreements, writing and decisions, sales and short trips, so open up. Venus and Pluto align today bringing change and empowerment around income goals or feeling more valued in love. Sun/Neptune align for opportunity to bring some magic and inspiration into this mix.
Thursday is the FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE. Today you achieve your big financial goal, sexual conquest, reproductive need, or divorce, OR you mark a significant ending when it comes to something in these arenas. Emotions will be intense out there, it's not for sissies. Remember to stay in your own personal power, no need to give it away when there are options out there for you to evolve in healthier directions.
Friday we work through or on whatever peaked yesterday so expect attention to be on the third party situations, loans, debt, inheritance, bankruptcy, taxes, insurance, settlements, investments, alimony, child support, partner's money, divorce, sexual interests or issues, life or death situation, or reproductive needs. Adjustments around the way you communicate or decisions made will help you to get what you want. Take action on money making matters today if you can.
Saturday and Sunday the energy turns to travel plans, legal interests, media, marketing, publishing, broadcasting, publicity, politics, higher education, weddings, or religious interests. Both days this will require adjustments where making money or earnings are concerned. Sunday puts you one on one with someone over a serious commitment or ending, structure or limit, ambition or achievement and most likely it will have monetary connotations. Good news or talks tonight.

PREVIOUS ACTIONS: On February 10, 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 592 repealing and replacing Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the Brentwood Municipal Code. On June 8, 1999, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 99-152 adopting warrants for stop signs on low-volume roads. The warrants were again modified on June 22, 1999. On June 22, 1999, the City Council directed staff to prepare a comprehensive methodology for dealing with neighborhood traffic concerns. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Pass a Resolution adopting the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines. COMMENTS: At the request of the City Council, the staff has prepared a systematic approach for addressing neighborhood traffic concerns. The attached document, Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines, outlines the procedures for responding to citizens request for traffic management in their neighborhoods. Although there is no guaranteed, complete solution because we can control the roadways, but not the drivers, this document thoroughly covers a variety of options and alternatives for different traffic concerns. Staff researched many policies adopted by different jurisdictions and created a document that best met the needs and concerns of the City of Brentwood. It is anticipated that this will be a "living document" as the City grows, new streets are added, and new problems and solutions are discovered, modifications will undoubtedly need to be made. As part of the management guidelines, there will be additional expense to the City. In addition to a significant amount of staff time, the document calls for the City to fund all of the "small scale" traffic solutions and a portion of the "large scale" traffic solutions. The maintenance of these new capital improvements will be reflected in the Public Works maintenance budgets in upcoming years. K:\jbauer\Staff Reports\2000\031400\trafficmanagement.DOC REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION (Contd.) Page 2 3/14/00 Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines The Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines has been circulated to the various departments within the City, presented to and reviewed by the Neighborhood Committee and finally reviewed by the Fire District and Transit Agency. Many of the comments have been incorporated into the Guidelines. At this time, staff requests that the City Council consider adoption of the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines. The attached resolution may be passed to adopt the Guidelines, with any corrections as noted at the meeting, or, if comments are of a more serious nature, the Guidelines can be modified and presented at a future meeting. This is just the beginning of a trend that will continue for years. As the City grows, Engineering staff time will be required in an ever-increasing amount to respond to citizen comments and concerns. As this happens, the percentage of staff time covered by development fees will decrease, which will thereby place demands on the General Fund. The City Council needs to be aware of this trend and budget accordingly. The adoption of these Guidelines will in all probability place a financial burden of a minimum of $75,000 on the General Fund next fiscal year, probably split 50% to staff time and 50% to physical improvements not covered by roadway development fees. This General Fund cost could reach as high as $350,000 for the next fiscal year if the Canyonwood traffic solution results in the easterly extension of Ironwood to Minnesota. This is just an estimate at this time, and between now and the first of the fiscal year, staff will be able to better evaluate and predict the ultimate cost of this program. The best staff can do at this time is to inform the Council that there will be a cost that cannot be covered by development fees. Attachments: Resolution No. Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines K:\jbauer\Staff Reports\2000\031400\trafficmanagement.DOC Resolution No. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRENTWOOD ADOPTING THE BRENTWOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES. WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the need for a systematic approach to address neighborhood traffic concerns; and WHEREAS, the City Council has requested that the City staff prepare a manual to facilitate that systematic approach for addressing neighborhood traffic concerns; and WHEREAS, the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines has been prepared to flexibly address the traffic concerns of the residents of the City; and WHEREAS, the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines outline an approach to paying for any approved traffic mitigation measures; and WHEREAS, the Neighborhood Advisory Committee of the City of Brentwood has reviewed and commented on the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Brentwood hereby adopts the Brentwood Traffic Management Guidelines as a policy for the City. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Brentwood, at its regular meeting of March 14, 2000, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: APPROVED: _________________________________ Quintin L.

I have decided to not do "reviews". Like everyone that is absolutely addicted to just about all types of films, I cannot talk enough film. There are times when I have lost track of time while talking film, yes I have been in conversations that have lasted that long while in full discussion about film. I am talking several hours. I have had those debates with loved ones over some minute detail of a really mid-level film and have it go from, "What did you think of it?" to "I will burn your car!" Basically, I am like a lot you, I can't get enough film, even on the Internet. This created a dilemma that I thought would be solved by writing regular reviews on my own blog and discussing/debating it with heavy minded movie people. As I sat down to really pound out the first "review" I realized there are two issues. One,I myself am not influenced by reviews. If I read/hear a review before I see a film I never, ever let it deter me from seeing a film that I would like to no matter how poor the feedback is. That's the point of film...to see it and decide if you like it. Not to let someone else watch it for you. And secondly, I wouldn't want to deter someone else from seeing a film because I had a less that spectacular experience while watching it.
So now I have a movie review blog and I no longer see value in movie reviews. So I thought about why I like to discuss /debate film so much. It is because I do like to hear other people's take on a film. Not that negative feedback means that I wont see it, but to get a take on it not just by what they are saying, but also by how they tell it. I decided to change my review into a look at my experience of the film. I will not be giving a film a thumbs up or down. I will not assign a star rating system. Those are meaningless. I have never acted on a review, positive or negative. I have never decided to go to a film that didn't interest me based on a beaming review and I have never skipped a film that I was anxious about seeing because some guy somewhere says he didn't like it. I have never found a single reviewer and agreed with everything that she or he says on all of their reviews.
The conclusion that I came to was that a review is pointless. If you haven't seen a film yet then a review will ruin it as one has to discuss major points of the film. And if you have seen the film, then a review is not something you need as you already have an opinion of it. It's more or less a pat on the back if you agree with the reviewer. Gold star for you, you agree with someone who has gotten a job as a film reviewer. That's why they give them star ratings, I guess.
So instead, I will share my experience while watching a film. Therefore I will be ruining the films for anyone who hasn't seen it yet as I am going to write about anything and everything having to do with the film. It is probably best to be read after seeing the film. I would love to hear what you think of my writings. If you do disagree, bring it on, I would love to have a civil debate. So I will call these non-reviews "scans".
According to the dictionary a scan is:
1. to examine the particulars or points of minutely; scrutinize. 2.to peer out at or observe repeatedly or sweepingly, as a large expanse;survey. 3. to analyze (verse) as to its prosodic or metrical structure; read or recite(verse) so as to indicate or test the metrical form.I will need to change my header and page titles and remove "reviews". So here goes my first "scan"...
So my wife has an unusual love for movies about ghosts, possession, and the devil. When we saw the trailer for The Rite, I knew I would be seeing this film with her. We missed the release date so she looked that up when we got home and she read a press release on it. She told me that it didn't sound like it was going to be,"Green puke and heads twisting around." She really said that. I love her for things like that. Anyway, on opening night we found ourselves at the Emery Bay Theatre in Emeryville, CA. We got there early enough for the movie trailers because I am a new trailer junkie. First up was Priest. I need to read up on that. But I wasn't to thrilled. It reeked of bad. The second was Sucker Punch. Even though I have seen it (and posted it), this trailer was the herald of the marking blitz for the movie which means that the release is right around the corner. Releases March 25, 2011.
So I was about all of two minutes into this film and I realized something. All films about exorcism are basically "green puke and heads turning around." Well, maybe not exactly that (although many do have exactly that) but all of the typical cliches. Bad decay makeup, the perfunctory convulsing on a bed, a deep voice in an ancient language coming out of a girl, the played out special effect of something moving under the skin of the possessed. And this film had all that. And I knew it would. They all do. In fact, there was puke, although not green.
Then came the punchline. Anthony Hopkins plays a venerable exorcist who is, by the way, working a regular set of possessed people who come in for their weekly exorcism and colonic and then go back to their lives until next week's appointment. Okay, I was joking about the colonic but he really did see regular "patients" who were POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL. I never thought demonic possession as a chronic condition. Anyway, he is trying to convince the young priest who is disbelieving in demonic possession that it was real, and not like the movies, " There will be no spinning heads and pea soup." Later that night, I asked my wife if she was repeating that back from the press release. She wasn't. Its just that vomiting and contortion are so synonymous with exorcism movies that its one of the first things that enters the mind when they are discussed.
And this film had all of the cliches that I have listed above and not much more. No exorcism film ever has much more because frankly their isn't more to tell. The Exorcist pretty much covered everything that one needs to see on this topic. That's right, it was perfected on the first real try. In 1973. I know there are earlier exorcist films but The Exorcist started a sub-sub-genre: exorcism films. I started thinking of my top ten exorcism films of all time. I would have to include Rec even though we don't know that religion is involved until Rec2. I would want to include Repossessed even though it is a comedy. And on that note, technically Ghostbusters was about demonic possession. Then off course Seytan, The Devil Within Her, and I guess technically Rosemary's Baby. Oh and by the way, I having sorting this all out in my head...during the film. I never zone out during a film, I am there to absorb it. It speaks to this film that my mind actually wondered while watching it. It was the usual venerable master teaching the faithless student type of fare.
Which is something that really bugs me. I absolutely hate when film narratives take a ridiculous leap in logic. I call it "movie logic." In this case the young priest has decided to leave the church as he was only there to escape his father. So what does the church do, they send him the The Vatican to study EXORCISM? Yep, they give him a cherry assignment where he lacks the key element needed to do the job. I mean if there is one place where you really should have faith is when you are performing exorcisms, I suspect. I mean, if you are the church and you are dealing with the devil himself taking over a living persons body, right near the Vatican no less, wouldn't you send the most dedicated, righteous man that you have an not someone who is taking the job in lieu of resigning. It's the devil we are talking about here, wouldn't the church have a competent eye on that?
So the film carried on through the standard early signs of possession to a full on exorcism battle finale all while framed in the old, " Is this real? Do you have faith? What do YOU think?", heavy handedness.
There were a few cool images here and there. A red eyed mule created a nice image. The scenery in Rome is awesome, but the nice look of the film was not enough for me to forget the predictability and other flaws of the film.
What else...oh, Rutger Hauer is in it as the young priest's father. He is only in it for a few moments so I am not really sure what the value of having Hauer in it for such a short time.
So there it is. My first "scan" for the blog. I wish it was on something that will go on to be historic or at least great but I still like to talk about it. What did you think of The Rite? Use the comments section to sound off.

There aren't any words to describe how bad we've been over the last three weeks with our picks so let's just move on to this week's horrible decisions games. We gotta give props to Jordan though because it looks like he's starting to make his move.
Name |
Last Week |
Season |
Matt |
1-2 |
17-7 |
Jordan |
2-1 |
13-11 |
Rich |
0-3 |
11-12-1 |
Texas A&M (-17.5) vs. Vanderbilt - The only thing that scares be about a number this big is A&M's defense, or lack thereof.
Alabama (-28.5) vs. Tennessee - I made the mistake of taking the points against Bama last week, not again.
Baylor (-34.5) at Kansas - Why not just make this a week of ridiculous covers and take the Bears here by just under five touchdowns.
Boise St (+7) at BYU - I'm returning to my roots this season and going back to my Friday games. I like Boise getting the points.
Houston (+7) at Rutgers - The Houston offense is more than capable of keeping this one close.
Oklahoma State (-13) at Iowa State - There's just not enough offense on ISU's side of the ball.
Baylor (-34.5) vs. Kansas - Yes, I think that the Bears' offense is that good. But I'll also go ahead and one up that statement...Baylor should cover the spread by halftime!
Missouri (-3) vs. South Carolina - The Tigers have stunned the SEC and boast a 7-0 record going into this weekend. I expect Missouri to win in a nail biter.
Clemson (-14) vs. Maryland - After getting demolished by FSU, the Tigers are looking for style points in this one.

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
Nice try, DHS.

Ron Paul is running for President of the United States. While I am not unsympathetic to the concept of secession (at all), it seems a bit counter-productive to start a secession movement in a RP for President movement.
Treason must consist of levying war against the U.S. or adhering to its enemies. I don't think that discussing, or supporting, secession would qualify.
Not sure how I missed your thread.
One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance. (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).

You really want people to put down their real name?
Who are you kidding, you must think we are all the same sheep that followed Santorum all the way to the end, or maybe the same people that follow Romney down to the tiny rally, how about just put up a poll, and you will probably get a better response, really your telling people not to discuss it?
Sorry for your presumptuousness (it is a real word) your talking to the smartest class in the school.
Secession? That will be met with force, just start a movement in your state, you know each state has the right to do this don't you, and some states have it even easier, like Texas.
The best recourse is to stop watching tv stop buying what they are pushing, start buying local products, start your own garden, get some rabbits and chickens.
They are entirely dependent on your buying what they sell, even political rhetoric, if we start to ignore them, they will start to come around, they are people, they are trying to impress their friends and family with their power, its all about the children right?
In reality, because of the internet, we don't even need governments anymore, they are an obstruction to progress.
Don't tell me not to discuss something on a libertarian forum.
Remember humans are people too.
Count me in!

Sony PlayStation Network vs MS Xbox Live
Good Review...
...but I'd never ever buy a console for which I have to pay for on-line gaming! That to me is absolutely mental and I'm not sure if it factors enough in the review. Then again, there are millions of people' with XBL accouints, so I might just be Captain Skinflint McTightarse.

What I see from my old Google refferers from last week, our rankings did not get worse but stays same or is better or lost only -1.
A second unattended site, same niche, different IP, pics, title, desciption has gained a lot of places. This is a very low quality site, with a lot of DC, bubblegum sites, realy NO SEO.
This shows a lot of Domain spamming, i found even 6 positions in a row from page #1 to #2. It is outranking my quality site, with much more information.
It seems like average content rules. High theme targeted site suffer.
My guess is that this was a panda push/updated, with all the reported googlebot activity last week.
