REPORTS: Vienna Girardi & Jake Pavelka Reunion Went Bad
By Daniel Gates | 6:24 pm, June 24th, 2010
A tense reunion between Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka turned ugly, according to multiple reports.
The "Bachelor" star and his former flame allegedly became combative while taping a two-hour ABC special set to air on July 5.
RadarOnline claims Pavelka became so angry at one point he pulled his arm back while making a fist in a "shocking display" that made observers believe he was "getting ready to throw a punch." The site also reports that Pavelka told Girardi to "shut up" three times in a row.
Other outlets corroborate the story that things were unpleasant at the meeting, but UsMagazine.com cites an "insider" who disputes Radar's claim that Pavelka nearly threw a punch.
According to the second version of events, Girardi continually cut off Pavelka's responses to host Chris Harrison's questions, leading the (again) bachelor to stand up and ask, "Will you just let me finish?"
Like Radar, TMZ reports "Jake exploded in anger," and "cocked his arm and made a fist in Vienna's direction."
But the site also quotes a "production insider," who claims, "Vienna was in such a rage, if there was anyone to fear it was her."
In a statement to Gossip Cop, reps for ABC said, "Former 'The Bachelor' participants Jake and Vienna taped an interview last night. As this was the first time the two had seen one another since their recent breakup, the atmosphere was emotionally charged. However, and contrary to reports that have surfaced about the interview, at no time was anyone ever physically in harm's way, nor was anyone ever threatened with physical violence."
Pavelka and Girardi announced their split on Tuesday.

7 gadgets for scaring the crap out of your friends
Halloween is about candy and fun, sure. But it's really about scaring the pants off your friends for your own entertainment. And why not use technology to help you do so? Here are 7 gadgets that will help you make Halloween into a night of pure terror.
7. Remote Control Car with Night Vision
This R/C car will let you sneak up on people in the dark from afar, with you being able to see everything they can't. I'll leave what you do with it in your hands, but I'm sure you can see the potential here.
Oh, do you need your pencil sharpened? I can help you with that… in a doll's eye socket. Added bonus: the shavings get pushed out the poor thing's mouth. Gross!
In theory, this thing is supposed to protect your head in case you get into a motorcycle accident. In practice, it makes you look like a terrifying thug from the future, here to enact horrible revenge on all who wronged you.
The perfect compliment to the pencil sharpener above, poor Dead Fred gave his life so you could have a handy spot for your writing implements. Gruesome, yes, but also functional enough to unsettle people all year long at your desk.
Nothing says scary like finding a sack full of bloody eyes in the fridge. Oops, who left that there? And hey, who drank the last of the milk?
This is a dead girl, her mouth stitched shut, who crawls slowly around. A great way to wake someone up in the morning, just set it under their bed and let 'er rip.
OK, this one is pretty self explanatory. But for added fun, get one that looks just like you (they're customizable) and leave it in your bed. Whoever finds it first will think you're dead, which everybody knows is hilarious!

|Product & services pricing
|Chance of future purchase:
|Shipping & packaging:
|Customer service:
|Return/Replacement policy:
"Any call to Petco with a question about an order takes you to a Philippine call center where the sound quality is terrible, people are always talking in the background, the person you are talking to speaks marginal English, and they are generally clueless about what is going on at the corporate headquarters. Most recently I placed an order for saltwater fish. Two were DOA and 8 more died within 2 days of acclimation in my aquaria. I have been involved in this hobby for 3 years, my tanks have elaborate filtration systems, my existing fish are all active and healthy. I requested a refund and reordered replacements for some of the lost fish on 11/11. The fish were supposed to be delivered today and when I did not receive tracking info I called one of the call center idiots. She told me the order had been cancelled by Petco, could not give me an explanation and would not transfer me to someone who could. I suspect the reason is that I had the nerve to actually make use of their 30 day guaranty. The fish were obviously in poor health when they were shipped. The company is sleazy and dishonest and would not order from them again. "
"If you pay with PayPal then you can only get a store credit for the items you need to return. When I called to complain I was told to email pictures of the items I needed to return. I turn, a refund to my PayPal account would take place in 5-7 business days. Ten days later still no refund. I call back customer service who repeatedly put me on hold only to tell me I will receive a refund in 5-7 business days. The whole experience was a huge hassle.
Customer service for Petco.com is horrible. They must source out to foreign countries because the customer service people are hard to understand due to not speaking clear and concise English. It is frustrating on so many levels to have to deal with their customer service. Petco.com will not be my go to web store in the future. Life is complicated enough without having to deal with this store's screwed up policies and hard to understand customer service."
"STAY AWAY!!! I recently attempted to purchase Petco products online as a gift for a new puppy. The puppy Kongs showed up the wrong color, the exercise pen never arrived after a 10 wait (promised shipping 3-6 biz days) on the final day my order was cancelled. Apparently, it's MY problem that they use 3rd party vendors they are NOT accountable for & certainly don't care if I'm apprised of the situation or not. The only apology of any sort I received was for the 36 min time on hold. The worst customer service & care I've ever encountered."
"I had two absolutely unacceptable experiences with Petco selling through Amazon. I bought a bird cage from Petco in mid-July and in mid-August, I asked for a status update, as the shipping estimate from Amazon indicated that the item should be shipped soon. At that time I was told that despite that I was given a shipping estimate from Amazon, that it was in backorder!!!!! Wouldn't be in for another month. But they didn't tell me, I had to ask!! They said sorry, offered me a 10% discount, and I trusted them again when I placed an order on 9/15, again with a shipping estimate in early October.
On 9/27, I asked about the status of my second order and they informed me that, despite that there was a shipping estimate of early October from Amazon when I placed the order, that the item was on backorder and would be available in mid November. THIS is despite the fact that I bought a product that said it was in stock when I bought it, apparently it wasn't, but they didn't bother to tell me until I asked TWO WEEKS LATER
DO NOT TRUST PETCO, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!! On two separate occasions, they have shown INCOMPETENCE AND A COMPLETE LACK OF CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER.
"I placed my order at Petco.com for two items on 8/26/2014. On 8/28/2014 I received an email stating that one item in my order has shipped with a UPS tracking number. My credit card was charged for the first item on 8/29. On 8/30/2014 I received another e-mail showing that both items were shipped with two separate tracking numbers. My credit card was charged for the second item on 8/31. It took the first item 1 1/2 weeks to be delivered. At two weeks I sent a message to customer service through the Petco.com website. The only reply I got was an automated receipt message. On 9/11/2014, I have not received my second package, so I called customer service and they could not tell me why I have not received my package. I was informed that a replacement order has been entered and I should receive it by 9/15 or 9/16/2014."
"We ordered 6 diffents itemsin one time last week,the delivery was scheduled for monday following week,the boxes came in 2 different delivery in two different days and with missed stuff,SURELY i do not order anymore else from PETCO.COM.
"We bought two saltwater fish and some coral for our 125 gallon tank that we have had going for 8 years. The two fish that we bought contaminated are fish tank the 2 fish that we bought died first then killed are other fish and then killed are coral out a lot of money."
I ordered 2 fish tanks on PETCO.COM and My order could not be processed and keep saying "PAYMENT NOT APLPICABLE" while there is nothing wrong with my bank account. I did placed an order one more time and petco.com keeps rejecting my order with the reason that items are out of stocks or backordered. That reason does NOT make any senses to me since that items I want to order still AVAILABLE on the website. So does PETCO still want to sell products to customers or just put products on there and say NO with all of customers's orders? "
"I went in to get my dogs nails cut. Since I have never been to petco for grooming services they needed proof of my dogs rabies vaccine. Which I have never heard of anyone else requiring this (I usually go to different vets or to petsmart to get my dogs nails cut). I had in my wallet my dogs ID cards which consists of a card with his picture on it from his normal vet for his microchip information... And I had a card from his vet with all of his vaccinations on it, but the card was one year old (I never received an updated card the previous year) ofcourse that wasn't good enough for them so I asked if they could call my vet and confirm he got it last year (even tho I'm telling them he did and even know the exact day!) she called and said they closed 15 mins ago. I then confirmed that all they needed was to hear from my dogs vet for verbal confirmation and she said yes... So I called the vets cell phone and she remembered me (my dog has back issues and we have become very close to the vet!) vet told the lady at petco that I DID get all the vaccines last year and my dog is current. Now petco says that's not good enough and I needed something faxed. It was the absolute WORST experience I have EVER had. I talked to three people (two managers) total and each of the girls where extremely rude. I gave them EVERYTHING they asked for! I will NEVER step foot back in a petco for any needs, and if I hear anyone going there I will make SURE to tell them my experience and tell them how bad I was treated and highly suggest they go elsewhere. I plan to voice my anger in every place possible and on as many blogs and websites as I can to reach the most amount of people. "
"We ordered a crate for our dog and expected it within a couple of weeks. As time went on, and on, we phoned petco.com, only to be connected with someone we could not understand. We asked for a supervisor and was told the item was not available and the order had been cancelled. We are still waiting to get a refund. Very poor customer service. We do shop in store but will never again order from petco.com on line. "
"I ordered a K & H Kitty Sill Bolster Deluxe Cat Window Perch on a one day online sale (30% off sale) .
Item was shipped/delivered in terrible condition (damaged) with the box had been re-taped shut (at some point) and the retail box was thrashed and looked like a bad store return . I returned the item instore asking for replacement vs a refund . I was told that it was not possible and that I'd have to RE-order the unit online again at current/full price ( as this item was not sold in/at the local store(s) ). I said ok please give me a full refund including the $5.99 shipping charge ; since the condition of the unit was not my fault. The CSR said I could receive a refund on the unit only but not on the shipping. I tried again nicely to get my shipping refunded , but again was told no .
I shop Petco locally (when they have a good sale) , but this was my first online "shipped" item and it will be my last ; and probably my LAST Petco purchase ....period .
If a company can not take responsibility for shipping damaged and/or sell pre-opened/used items that were sold as new and will not ship a replacement or give a FULL refund ; then I have NO reason to continue shopping at their establishment .
"Never order from Petco.com. They are liars and scammers of the first rate. Ordered several items that were all in stock for shipping next business day. Four days later the items still haven't shipped and no one can tell me when they are going to ship. All they can tell me try back tomorrow, try back tomorrow. One person said I would receive an update by the end of the day. That was a lie and never happened. Everything they do is pass the buck off to the next poor sap. For the size of this company, I am in disbelief that their logistics are so horrible. Oh and even though my order still hasn't shipped or been charged it can't be cancelled. So I am in this never ending state of limbo waiting on them. What a bunch of crap!
I will never step foot in another Petco or order online from them again. I hope they go bankrupt. If you have problems with them, please take a few minutes and file a complaint with your states Attorney General, that's where I'm headed next.
Update - One week later, and the order still hasn't shipped, bear in mind their website said all of these items were in stock. A tracking number was generated and I was charged. They also told me they would upgrade shipping to get it here faster. Another lie! It is listed as standard shipping so even if it goes out today it will will be another week before it arrives. I have since had to buy the products elsewhere. What a disaster...."
"I recently bought a twin tailed Betta from your store and I explicitly asked an employee if it could be kept in a community tank with other non-aggressive fish and he replied yes. Seeing the Betta swim in the store tank with 10 other guppies, I decided to believe him. I have been keeping a healthy community tank for about a year. Shortly after introducing the Betta to my tank, it had it's back fin torn. I isolated it for treatment immediately but it still died.
The Betta must have carried some sort of disease because soon afterwards, one of my platy fish died, as well as all three neon tetras. A day later my cory catfish died and my lyre-tail guppy is about to. Nearly my entire fish tank has been killed off. This has been an extremely depressing experience for me as I really enjoyed keeping fish. I am beyond disappointed with Petco and will NEVER be visiting their store again. Not only have I wasted time and money on their fish, I have been completely disheartened waking up each morning and seeing another dead fish stuck to the filter.
I strongly advise you to NEVER buy their products.
- Just another irate customer"
"After placing an order for an item on sale, Petco decided the deal was TOO good and cancled it, saying I could re place the order at the higher price. This order was for a gift i promised someone, now I cant afford to get it. Thanks Petco, you lost a loyal customer and ill be sure to tell everyone at my work, my family never to buy from your company again. "
"Have to throw in my one star review with all the others on here. I have never had such a poor experience ordering online. The litter boxes I ordered were never in stock, but no one told me that, either via the website or during two online chats with customer service. The tracking information provided to me was not correct, showing a UPS label had been created, when they actually would have had to use USPS since I have a PO Box. The chat reps told me it had been shipped USPS, so I was driving daily to the post office to check for the package. When it hadn't arrived after 11 days, I finally called on the phone, and was told they were still waiting for the item to arrive in their warehouse (!!!). I asked them to cancel the item, and to refund my credit card if it had already been charged. When I received my credit card bill, there was the charge, glaring at me. No credit. So I checked the website and it showed my order was still active, not cancelled. I had already ordered the item from somewhere else by this time. Called again to customer service, got another rep that seemed more helpful, but it is taking a long time on the phone just to cancel an order (on hold as I type this). Will not be satisfied until I see that credit on my Visa statement. Then I'll be able to calmly reflect on these many minutes of my life wasted on a failed attempt to buy new places for my cat to go poop. "

The service was absolutely amazing! The staff are very polite and welcoming. Food was very nice and tasted great, a lot of flavour. They have a wide variety of excellent beverages. Their service is just incredible all the time, this is why I am now a regular customer and I certainly recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family. The avenue does get busy, especially on weekends so it's better to make reservations first, as i always do. Overall, I always have a lovely experience, with wonderful meals and have made great friends with many different people. Definitely a pleaser.

We went last night and were not very impressed. It's clearly a very popular place, packed out on a Saturday night. The service was polite but impersonal. For starters we had the onion badji, which was very good, and a king prawn butterfly, which was huge but tasteless. Mains were not good. He had the chicken korai, which is usually a sizzling dish of vegetables and meat, not too saucy, but this was just chicken and veg in a mush, served in a korai dish but not a korai style. When we complained, it was removed and then brough back a few minutes later, heated up more! Possibly just a misunderstanding, the waiter spoke little English. My vege korai was the same mush, just less the chicken. The food came out very fast (too fast) so I think they just have one big pot of it and don't make to order, just toss the appropriate meat into the vege base. Saag paneer was weird, seemed to be made with melted cheddar rather than paneer, which I have seen before but never in London, where the quality of Indian restaurants is usually a bit better. Chick peas ok (if a bit bland), but how can you get that wrong? Overall, the food was bland and not well spiced. I felt that we were being rushed through as quick as they could, so we didn't bother with desserts, which were just the usual brought-in ones. They do have a good wine list, although it only lists styles and not the actual wines, we had a nice sancerre for £16.95 which I thought was reasonable value. But overall this restaurant is mediocre, and I wouldn't bother going back. The Purbani (across the road) is better on both food and service.

"Fade Into You," written by Trevor Rosen, Shane McAnally, and Matt Jenkins: Clare and I recorded this in L.A. We were about to return for the start of the season once the show had been picked up, and I found myself in L.A. and having just been booked on my first movie, Runner, Runner, with Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake. I was absolutely hyped up and was imminently going to be leaving for Puerto Rico to start shooting this movie for a few weeks. And, of course, we're trying to sort out contracts and things, and "Fade Into You" is delivered to us, and again, it's an incredible song, with so much metaphor and imagery in it. "If you were the ocean, and I was the sun…" It was a nice step from the more personal, direct approach of the other two songs. We're like, "Wow, this another beautiful, beautiful song." I think I was planning to fly to Puerto Rico on Thursday, and this song came in on Tuesday. The emails were sent across [Laughs] "Right, we need to get you into the studio and recording this song — maybe we do it next week." I'm like, "Ohmygod, I've got to be in Puerto Rico, let's try to get this done as soon as we can." So there was a bit of stress trying to balance these two projects.
Clare and I spent the day before [recording] really working it through. We went to [music supervisor] T-Bone Burnett's personal studio to record it, where Led Zeppelin has recorded, and where Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon had recorded the soundtrack for Walk the Line. T-Bone floating around offering coffees — it's just the most amazing relaxed vibe. That's why I think the music [on the show] has such an authenticity to it, because we're not being forced by networks and time constraints to churn out music without a thought process to it. It was scary though: We needed to record it Wednesday, since I had to fly out Thursday morning. "If we can't get a shot at it on Wednesday, you're gonna be late for the movie." Because we'd done our homework, and Clare's got this voice that mine just seems to go nicely with, we got it done in a couple of hours in the backroom of T-Bone's studio. They sent it to R.J. and Callie that evening, and I think by 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. that night, we got the "Okay, Sam, you can go and do the movie. It's all good." I think it came out pretty nicely.

James Dennin, Kapitall: Hot sauce is a fast growing industry. We decided to take a closer look at some seemingly hot stocks.
Whether or not you like your eggs with a kick – it might surprise you to hear that hot sauce was one of the fastest growing industries last year. In fact, it was only slightly edged out by social networking in its market expansion through 2012, according to IBIS World, an Australian marketing and research firm.
Read more from Kapitall: How to Beat the NSA: Google, Apple Uncover a Way
It seems that a confluence of factors – from immigration to demographic changes – has changed the American palate. Over the years, Americans have craved more flavor in their foods, and spice is a much healthier flavor enhancer than salt, preservatives, or fat.And there are strong numbers to support this. Over the last decade, the hot sauce industry has grown over 9% each year, with little to no signs of slowing down. There have been major plays in the market as well, supporting the idea that sauces and condiments are earning more attention from investors. Last year, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) acquired the legendary condiment maker Heinz. And then there's the incredibly trendy, yet strange and mercurial company behind the hot sauce Sriracha – whose steady rise despite not spending a dime on advertising (or really anything, besides chili peppers) is a powerful testament to hot sauce's resilience and popularity. The company, Huy Fong Foods, is possibly one of the worst run businesses you've never heard of. Since opening its doors in 1980 (with the expressed goal of bringing traditional Vietnamese hot sauce to the country's diaspora – nothing more), the company has not once raised the cost of its product. You heard me. Through four presidencies and a three-fold increase in food prices, Sriracha's price has held constant. And yet the company's profits have risen steadily each year.

Well he can't! Because the corporatist state trumps real healthy eating, as we know. The government doesn't want you healthy – it just wants to rule over you, control your lifestyle, and force changes onto you that benefits others who are cozy with big government. People voluntarily buying or bartering for raw milk, natural supplements, or any other unapproved items, does not benefit Big Pharma or the other special interests that are fed by the government's corporate-state chain of command and omnipotent bureaucracy.3:52 pm on January 24, 2009 Email Karen De Coster

Tuesday, March 25 17:37:35
The ISEQ recouped much of the losses it incurred over a four day slump today as investors sought out bargains and pressure lifted from the crisis in Ukraine and as China and the ECB talked about economic stimulus.
By the close, the index was up 73.49 points to 4,924.02.
European stocks bounced back, led by miners on speculation that recent disappointing Chinese data might prompt Beijing to launch fresh stimulus to maintain the pace of economic growth. Encouraging updates from companies such as Europe's largest home improvements retailer Kingfisher and British budget airline easyJet also bolstered market sentiment.
Shares in Ryanair rose 20c to E7.63 while Aer Lingus dipped 1c to E1.64.
Shares in Datalex jumped 7c to E1.37 after it today posted a 26pc rise in core profits (adjusted EBITDA) to USD7.5m and said it will propose the payment of its first ever dividend to shareholders. In its full year 2013, the company recorded revenue that rose 18pc to US$38.1m and Transaction revenue that rose 19pc to US$17.5m while net profits climbed 43pc to USD1.6m and earnings per share rose 41pc to 2.4 cent. Aidan Brogan, CEO of Datalex plc said: "2013 has been a year of performance and growth in our business, as we continue to achieve double digit percentage growth in Adjusted EBITDA, revenue and cash. We have signed significant new contracts with leading airline brands, such as JetBlue and Virgin Atlantic which secure transaction revenue growth in the medium term. As a strong statement of confidence in the company's growth prospects, I am also pleased to report that the Board has proposed the payment of the first dividend in the company's history."
Glanbia shares rose 3c to E10.93. Globally, cheese prices have been moving higher even as other prices retreat from their recent highs. Very strong US cheese exports over recent months have reduced domestic inventories and pushed up the price, assisting cheese manufacturers to cope with high milk prices; there is no windfall gain for manufacturers in the current situation, Davy said.

Fund established for Watertown 'superhero'
Man endured 3 kidney transplants, cancer as adult
WATERTOWN -- Every Wednesday, Eric Steele walked into the Legends Superheros comic book shop in Middlebury to stock up on issues of X-Men, Green Lantern and his favorite: Spiderman. To those who knew him, Steele, 30, was a superhero unto himself. From enduring three kidney transplants as a baby to battling cancer as an adult, he faced every challenge with a smile and a steely resolve.
But three new kidneys were not enough. Steele needed a fourth kidney transplant, and his mother, Christine Rutigliano was a match. But three bouts with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and calciphylaxis, a rare but severe dermatologic condition in which painful sores break out all over the body, held up the surgery. On Feb. 7, Steele's heart gave out and he died in his sleep.

|Aristocrat Callery Pear - Pyrus calleryana 'Aristocrat'
Family Rosaceae - Rose Family; Fruit Trees. Callery pear is a rapid-growing, adaptable
ornamental or specimen tree often used for its quick establishment and flowering qualities.
Common Pear is a large ornamental rapidly growing to about 45 feet tall and 20 feet wide. It takes on an upright, pyramidal form when young, becoming more oval and spreading with age. It grows best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Likes moist and well-drained soil but is easily adapted to various stressors, including acidic and alkaline Ph, restricted growth space, pollution, drought, and pruning.
Callery pear has a reputation for poor branching habits, leaving itself vulnerable to major windthrow or ice-load damage. Near vertical, co-dominant central leaders with acute crotch angles and extremely weak attachments must be thinned on a regular basis to ameliorate this liability. Branches remaining after this recommended biannual pruning will be stronger and resist storm damage more readily than those in an unattended, overgrown tree. [2]
Flowers in spring are showy, white, to 3 inches inflorescences, mid to late April for about 1 week. Foliage is green to dark green, glossy, alternate, ovate to orbicular, fluttering. Fall color is variable and generally not showy, ranging from purple, orange, yellow to red. Color does not develop until late season, November and December.
Family Cupressaceae – Redwood, Cypress, Arborvitae, Juniper
There are thirty (many monotypic) genera and 142 species in the family Cupressaceae, now widely regarded as including the Taxodiaceae, previously treated as a family. The Cupressaceae are found in the fossil record as far back as the Jurassic Period, about 210 million years ago.

Real Madrid brought high-flying city rivals Atletico back down to earth when two own goals either side of a Jese strike helped them to a 3-0 victory in a hot-tempered Copa del Rey semi-final, first leg.Atletico, who beat Real 2-1 in last season's final, climbed to the top of La Liga at the weekend but their first defeat in all competitions since October means they face a stiff task in Tuesday's second leg at the Calderon.After a cautious opening from both sides, Atletico playmaker Arda Turan had the first genuine chance when he tested Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas with a header in the 13th minute.Real were ahead four minutes later when centre back Pepe galloped forward and his speculative shot hit Emiliano Insua, wrong footed Atletico keeper Thibaut Courtois and ricocheted into the net.Atletico defender Diego Godin headed over the bar when well placed early in the second half but Real doubled their lead just before the hour when a superb Angel Di Maria pass released Jese and he poked the ball past Courtois.Luka Modric cleared another Godin header off the line in the 72nd minute and Real landed a stunning blow a minute later with another deflected effort.Di Maria let fly from distance and the ball struck Atletico defender Miranda before spinning past the helpless Courtois.Last year's final, which was held at the Bernabeu, was marred by red cards and brawling and the bad blood between the bitter rivals was still in evidence in a match littered with cynical fouls and gamesmanship.Barcelona host Real Sociedad in Wednesday's other semi-final, first leg.

Post office tests same-day delivery
WASHINGTON (AP) — Emboldened by rapid growth in e-commerce shipping, the U.S. Postal Service is moving aggressively this holiday season to start a premium service for the Internet shopper seeking the instant gratification of a store purchase: same-day package delivery.
Teaming up with major retailers, the post office will begin the expedited service in San Francisco on Dec. 12 at a price similar to its competitors. If things run smoothly, the program will quickly expand next year to other big cities such as Boston, Chicago and New York. It follows similar efforts by eBay, Amazon.com, and most recently Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which charges a $10 flat rate for same-day delivery.

BB&T Rip Off
Posted by
As stated in a earlier blog, BB&T is milking their customers very badly. Deposit posts are made prior to debit postings but the company BB&T is charging huge overdraft fees. I called Customer Service who were very RUDE. I even went to the bank and the teller was super nice UNTIL I brought this matter up. Her explanation in Spanish to broken English was horrible. I have since moved on to a Credit Union who 'gave me in writing' that this was NOT how they treated their customers. I am happy for one thing....BB&T pushed me away enough for me to find a GREAT Credit Union who is for their customers. Thanks BB&T!!!
Read another review:
BB&T has been systematically ripping off its customers by posting debits first, then posting credits or deposit.
This is in stark contradiction to the policies banks, in general, have had in regard to this situation.
Traditionally, banks would post deposits and credits first, usually at 12:00 midnight, then, they would post any debits or withdrawals, summarily preventing unnecessary overdraft charges.
However, in an effort, it seems, to pad their profit margin, they are posting debits first, then posting credits.
This new policy, in essence, increases the amount of fees that they collect, as, a lot, if not most people in the lower and middle class have a lower balance when it gets close to payday, or, when we get a windfall and our checking account balance is low, we expect that our deposit will hit the account before any debits.
Also, my wife has her check direct deposited. She is a school teacher. The checks go into the accounts on Thursday. They do not post until after 6:00 A.M. on Friday, again, allowing for fees to be assessed for any debits posted at 12:00 midnight.
It's clear that the banks have instituted this policy to glean more fees from the working class, while leaving the upper class and the well-heeled, virtually untouched.
This practice is an outrage, and if the federal government and state banking regulators won't do anything about it, we the people, should start taking grass roots measures to rectify this problem.

A new law prohibits the practice you have described.

Here is how you rectify the problem. Don't write a check until you have available funds to cover it. Then it doesn't matter what order items are posted.

Customer Service Would Not Help With a Human Error
Posted by
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- I just sent out two electronic bills with the wrong date and couldn't change it a minute later. I called customer service to stop the payment from going out but it still caused a 36 fee and BB&T would not reverse the charges. I was left with very little money in my account. Customer service said it was not the banks fault and that I made the error and I would need to deal with the fee.
This bank has the worst customer service I have ever experienced and I will be looking for another bank.

Online Banking Help
Posted by
I had an issue where some payments I made online apparently went to the wrong bank, since I didn't enter all the digits in the account number. I called up and spoke to Vicky with the online banking department and it was all fixed within like 10 minutes. She even faxed me a confirmation and called me right back to confirm. I have never been so pleased with a bank taking my money seriously! Awesome service.

Dirty Bank Polices
Posted by
POLK CITY, FLORIDA -- I went to my bank BB and T on Friday and cashed a check. I hadn't cashed any checks since the following Monday anyway the teller check availability of funds and cashed my check then on Saturday they charged me an overdraft fee on the check I CASHED AT THEIR BANK FOR LACK OF FUNDS.
The money was there on Friday enough to cash the check so how did it disappear on Saturday so that they could charge me an overdraft fee they cheated me out of my money to make a gain.

This is weird. Are you sure when you cashed the check, that they didn't place a hold on your available funds to cover the check? If you used your debit card and didn't have the available funds to cover any charges, that's where the OD charges came from.
trmn8r on 03/20/2011:
The check may not have been processed until 11pm or midnight, when all the items on your account were processed for the day. An debit card or ACH may have rolled out prior to this, other checks may have come in after the the one you cashed, and been placed ahead of the one.
You need to contact the bank during the hours that they can help, and get an explanation.
Anonymous on 03/20/2011:
If you keep a check register you would know exactly how much money you have in your account at all times. When you bank by balance checking, you're bound to make a mistake.
Nohandle on 03/20/2011:
I've always kept a check register and have never done online banking as many due to check balances. I don't pretend to understand the system but too many folks make a deposit to later discover the deposit was held for x number of days. I guess my point is check register or not it won't do you a lick of good if your deposits arenât posted for a period of days.
MotleyCrueGuy on 03/20/2011:
You need to talk with them before posting here. First, did you possibly buy gas on your debit card that day or before? Secondly, did perhaps any automatic debts hit that night?
Bryan on 06/21/2011:
Could have been any of the above, or a simple bank error. Just ask them, it might be.

New policy
Posted by
NORCROSS, GEORGIA -- My son had a student account with BB&T. They have a new policy they have implemented in the past year where they take out withdrawals immediately but hold checks. When it comes to timing on your account--they put through the withdrawals first so they can get their fees. They know EXACTLY what they are doing and are making a ton of money doing it. My son deposited two birthday checks which they held (without informing us) then posted the withdrawals he made against those checks. They charged him $285.00 in overdraft charges. When my husband and son went in to speak with the bank, they gave them a register and said to keep up with your balance in the future. We will.....at another bank. We still can't see where he was overdrawn to begin with even if they held the checks but they are not willing to discuss it any further. It will take him a month to make $285.00 to cover those charges. Please DO NOT BANK WITH BB&T.

I'm pretty sure on a student account I know why they hold the checks for a bit. And I really don't think it's to intentionally run up fees.
Anonymous on 02/03/2010:
Only if it is a new account, and it is all new accounts that get a little bit longer hold.
The bank gave you and your son very good advice, take it with you to the new bank. If he learns at this early age to be responsible and manage his accounts, it will be an inexpensive lesson in the long run.
BEJ on 02/03/2010:
Why would he write checks against the account without knowing that the deposited checks have cleared. I do not know how old he is but if over 18 he should be responsible for his own account. If under 18 it would have been a great lesson for you to teach him about financial responsibility about not writing checks when the money is not in the account or in this case the deposits have not cleared.
Anonymous on 02/03/2010:
"which they held (without informing us)"
If anything, always look at the receipt at the time of the transaction. Any info like holds or things like that will be on the receipt.
Of course money is taken out right away when you make withdrawals... it's a withdrawal.
It's always good to make sure money is in the account first before spending it.
$285 dollars worth of overfrafts... that would be about 8 transactions your son.
If your son has online banking, he can log into his account and see what happened.
I would suggest just using the online banking sort of as a way to check and balance yourself, but it in, no way (imo) takes place of a check register. For it doesn't show everything.

I'll tell you, I'm addicted to Quicken. I have a backup of the backup, so there's no risk of losing my data.

Quicken is also a valid choice. My bf uses that to keep track of his account... and he's a Chase account holder, to boot.
Quicken, register, brains.... just something keep track of giving and receiving.

Most online banking systems will offer an option to download directly into Quicken. It makes reconciling a piece of cake.

I needed to stop an automatic debit card withdrawal from my checking account that my husband set up a few years ago (before I joined the M3C community) but cancelled 6 months ago. Everything was going fine with the cancellation until today. All of the sudden, out of the blue, this company withdrew 15.00 from my bank account using an expired debit card. I contacted my bank and spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable young lady. I explained the situation and asked her what my options were. She reviewed my account, advised me that she could put a 30 day block on this company's access to my account, refund my 15.00, leave my current debit card active for 30 days, and resend me a new card with a new number within 5 business days. She said the new card number would ensure the company would have no further access to my account. I was on the phone for a grand total of 15 minutes!!! Awesome job BB&T!!!

I have to agree - BB&T bought out my little local bank several years ago and I was concerned that the service would go the way of all the "big" banks.
But every single time I have dealt with them it's been a pleasure - they are great to deal with and the folks in my local branch are always in a good mood and seem happy to help you. I have sent several people there and all have been pleased with the service.
Anonymous on 04/24/2008:
A 30 day block is almost useless. It needs to be permanent otherwise that company will attempt to place charges the next month and continue until the card is suddenly opened.
MSCANTBEWRONG on 04/24/2008:
Once my new card is received in the next few days, I will call and cancel the old card number so the block won't be in effect anymore. It was a temporary fix until I received my new card.
Anonymous on 04/24/2008:
I hope it works out for you because I have read stories of banks suddenly accepting charges on card that were supposedly closed.
MSCANTBEWRONG on 04/24/2008:
I asked her about that and she said that once she closed the debit card, no charges would be accepted against it...now we all know that it may or may not happen. One other thing she told me to do was to send a certified letter to the company requesting they cease any further attempts to withdraw money from my account. She told me to keep copies of the letter and the certified mail info. If they attempted to withdraw money again the bank would send me a letter and I could contact them to open a fraudulent something or other case. I feel pretty confident as the lady was really on the ball and I could hear her typing in the background as she said she was notating my account. If any shenanigans happen, I'll keep everyone up to date...
Principissa on 04/24/2008:
Excellent MS! I'm glad they got this worked out for you. I hope this company doesn't try charging you again.

Debiting Your Account In The Order The Payments Are Presented
Posted by
ST PETERSBURG, FLORIDA -- I read a complaint from a lady with 2 children who said her account was debited with the largest payment first causing all the littler stuff to bounce which, in turn, caused extensive overdraft fees.
Years ago, when I had account with Barnett Bank, they used the same practices. I was eventually awarded a small check as settlement of a class action suit for this very thing. This would indicate to me that the practice is at the very least not ethical, and possibly illegal.

I want my money back
Posted by
COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VIRGINIA -- I incurred an overdraft fee of $35 from a transaction that never should have taken place. The company that put my account into overdraft, refunded my money, but now the bank will not refund the overdraft fee. They said they loaned me money to pay it, so I owe it to them. I also had another transaction that I was going to cancel, but the product cost me $4.95, and if I cancel, I won't receive the overdraft fee back, so I in turn am going to end up paying $39.95 for a $5 game!

Unfortunately the bank is not at fault here. You need to go after the company that caused the overdraft and make them pay it. You may have to take them to small claims court to get it.
Ponie on 04/05/2007:
Can't very well blame the bank or the company with which you placed an order if you didn't have the money to pay for it. Keep closer tabs on your bank balance and this won't happen.
heaven17 on 04/05/2007:
"I incurred an overdraft fee of $35 from a transaction that never should have taken place."
More details? Was this something you ordered and then cancelled? Why was it a transaction that never should have taken place?
bill on 04/05/2007:
It's not the bank's fault. If the transaction should not have taken place then the company that made the transaction is responsable for the overdraft fee.
MRM on 04/05/2007:
I agree with TNChuck, Ponie, Heaven17, and Bill... its not the bank's fault that caused the overdraft.
Shakra on 04/06/2007:
Yeah, heaven...that is a dodgy statement. Too vague.
plastic cutter on 04/20/2007:
Doesn't matter how much or little money you have.....BB&T are just short of being loan sharks. They were disohonest with me and they devise every way they can to get money from you. I don't even want to drive past one of their branches, just too close for me!
plastic cutter on 08/22/2007:
BB&T NEVER gives money back - get used to it. And tnchuck100 works for BB&T.
WickedBliss35 on 08/22/2007:
The first overdraft was from blockbuster and I cancelled that 3 days before I was to be billed. The second was for a pc game, and I cancelled that 2 wks before it was shipped. Either way, the bank should have refunded my money, which they actually did/ lol I went back to the bank and complainned a day after and they gave me the money back. :)

In May 2004, Statoil installed a Water Alternating Gas (WAG) injector in well 30/3 A-11 B on the Veslefrikk platform in the Norwegian North Sea, Fig. 1. The intelligent completion covers four formations: Ness 2, Etive, Oseberg 2, and the Intra Dunlin Sands (IDS). It includes two 3-1/2-in. and one 4-1/2-in. optical, single-phase, flowmeters set at 2,561, 3,138, and 3,340 m.
To control the zones' injection rates, the completion uses three variable downhole inflow control valves (ICV) and one on/off valve. The well's injection rates reached 40,000 bpd of water and 60 MMcfpd of gas during maximum injection.
The optical monitoring equipment and valves are functioning well after nearly two years of water and gas injection. For Statoil, the equipment combination allows reservoir pressure management and production optimization by monitoring and controlling injection rates for each zone. The company estimates that the Downhole Instrumentation and Control System (DIACS) will account for half of the well's value creation over the well's life.

School Safety Patrol
Touch Olympic Gold
Long before she won three Olympic gold medals and before she laced up her skates for the Canadian Women's Hockey Team, Jennifer Botterill volunteered as a CAA School Safety Patroller.
Jennifer Botterill shared her experiences as an Olympian, hockey player and a former school safety patroller during CAA's annual School Safety Patrol leadership camp held for soon to-be patrol captains.
