Writing and Rewriting the Northeast
Please come for the panel discussion Writing and Rewriting the Northeast that I am moderating on Tuesday. I have spent the last few days immersed in the panelists' books. The themes I've encountered in their writing and the context in which they write tells me this will be a compelling discussion.
For details, see the flyer at right, or go to the FB event page.
And in case you haven't heard, Not Only The Things That Have Happened has been renamed Lost Boy and is now available on Kindle outside of South Asia for a very good price. You can find it on Amazon US here. For more details about how Kindle works, go here.

Lost Boy available outside South Asia
The electronic version of my book, Not Only the Things That Have Happened, is now available outside the subcontinent. It's been re-titled 'Lost Boy' and is available at Amazon in Kindle format for a very good price. The beautiful cover was designed by my son, Akshay.
If you have a Kindle reader, you know what to do. If you read e-books on devices that use Android, IOS, or Windows, those also work. All you need to do is download the free Kindle app from the App Store or Google Play, then you buy the book on Amazon and log-in to your new Kindle App using your Amazon email ID. There are some instructions here. A friend of mine who has an IPad but had never used Kindle, said he was able to figure this out in less than ten minutes.
For those of not familiar with the book, the print version was reviewed widely in the Indian press. A few of my favorite snippets are below. You can read longer excerpts and find links to the full version of the reviews here.
Koshy manages to touch upon the politics of adoption, language, exile, identity. Such a novel could easily have fallen into the trap of being dull and worthy. That it doesn't is something of a triumph; this is a fantastic book. --Aishwarya Subramanian, Hindustan Times.
Koshy is a deft literary seamstress, intricately weaving a tapestry of voices and offering us a rich, layered glimpse into the workings of memory, community and family.--Janice Pariat, The Sunday Guardian.
The result is a novel that is complex, yet so elegantly written that it manages to read lightly and pleasurably, without ever showing its inner workings.--Anvar Alikhan, India Today.
Koshy's writing is dense and layered in the way of an onion: peeling involves tears and eating involves pungency, but the stinging rawness of the process is ultimately rewarding, if disquieting.-- Manasi Subramaniam, Biblio.
In prose that is layered and complex... the novel draws you in the way an epic does. --Anupama Raju, The Hindu.
The immersion in the lives of the people of this region is almost Faulknerian in its intensity, along with the milieu against which they have come of age: The influence of Catholicism, the grip of caste, trade union and Left movements and the distance between the impoverished village and the bustling city. --Sanjay Sipahimalani, Mint Lounge.
Motherhood looms very large – and in many forms – in the book as well... Not Only the Things That Have Happened is far from schmaltzy, rather feeling its way through the kinds of lack that cannot be blotted out. The novel retains Koshy's characteristically measured, poetic voice with its undertow of unease. --Naintara Maya Oberoi, Time Out India.

those who have a stake in the adoption narrative
As I wrote in an earlier post, one of the central ideas of Not Only The Things That Have Happened is the complex and inherently problematic nature of inter-country adoption. That idea has not been explored by most Indian reviewers to the extent I might have liked, but I have been pleased to see several US birth mother and adoptee rights blogs taking a serious looks at the book from that perspective.
Marijane Nguyen, a Taiwanese American adoptee and music therapist, had this to say in her review on her blog, Beyond Two Worlds:
Suz Bednarz, a reunited birth mother and founder of ehbabes.com, a site and support group that provides reunion assistance to those separated by adoption, reviewed the book on her blog, Writing My Wrongs. Here's an excerpt:
This is the most nervous I've been in reading reviews of this book. I can't say how good it feels to be read seriously by those who I read as I was researching this book--the people who have a stake in this issue. Writing, like politics, is a fundamentally collective project. Developing new narratives for inter-country adoption is a task many, many people have been working on for a long time. I'm glad to see my book is contributing to that work.
Marijane Nguyen, a Taiwanese American adoptee and music therapist, had this to say in her review on her blog, Beyond Two Worlds:
Mridula Koshy's debut novel, Not Only the Things That Have Happened, is not a tale for the faint-hearted. It is a story that explores the impact of adoption, oppression, loss and identity. Koshy's prose and storytelling is hauntingly beautiful and speaks directly to the heart. It is not a quick read, but one that invokes thought, and as such, is an important and compelling work... An element of grief seeps heavily into much of the story, as most of the characters experience a great loss. I didn't mind the sadness, quite the opposite. There was an underlying rawness that pulled me deeper into the story and gave it a true sense of realism. (full review is here.)Marijane followed up by interviewing me. You can read that exchange here.
Suz Bednarz, a reunited birth mother and founder of ehbabes.com, a site and support group that provides reunion assistance to those separated by adoption, reviewed the book on her blog, Writing My Wrongs. Here's an excerpt:
I finished reading Mridula Koshy's book Not Only the Things That Have Happened. I definitely recommend it, particularly for individuals experienced with trans-racial adoption. Koshy's writing is thick and rich from the very first page. (full review is here.)Jane Edwards wrote a lengthy review of the book at [Birth Mother] First Mother Forum. Her review also includes an interview. You can read the whole thing here.
This is the most nervous I've been in reading reviews of this book. I can't say how good it feels to be read seriously by those who I read as I was researching this book--the people who have a stake in this issue. Writing, like politics, is a fundamentally collective project. Developing new narratives for inter-country adoption is a task many, many people have been working on for a long time.

Re-writing adoption
In doing the research for Not Only the Things That Have Happened, I read hundreds of news stories, books, articles and blogs about inter-country adoption. Some of what I read was from the point of view of adoptees, some from the point of view of first mothers or birth mothers. And there were blogs by adoptive parents, as well. From my wide reading on the subject I took away an overwhelming sense of the unspoken losses entailed in adoption. And again and again, I ran into the following quote, mostly on adoptee and birth mother sites:
Adoption loss is the only trauma in the world where the victims are expected by the whole of society to be grateful.
- The Reverend Keith C. Griffith, MBE.
My reading led me to conclude the orphan crisis - an oft repeated figure is 163 million orphans worldwide - is so necessary to the adoption industry that the industry has neither hesitated to create the figure in the statistical sense, nor, tragically, in the real sense; i.e., not just by doctoring the figures, but by actually separating children from their biological parents or other members of their biological families, thus making orphans of them. As for the figure, it is very much a doctored figure. Writing on Fleas Biting, David Smolin, professor of law at Cumberland School of Law and the director for The Center for Children, Law, and Ethics, has this to say:
These global orphan estimates come from UNICEF, which is using a broad concept of "orphans and vulnerable children" which includes children who have lost one parent but are living with their other parent. 90% of these "orphans" are living with a parent, and thus certainly are not in need of a family through adoption, for they already have a family.
The unequal distribution of economic and political power within the adoption triad - birth parents, the adoptee, and adoptive parents - is one reason for the sort of corruption that won't hesitate to separate children from parents who very much want to keep them. There is very little acknowledgement of the lifelong trauma this separation can create in the child. There is next to no incentive to promote family preservation. Alleviating poverty, so families can remain intact, is neither lucrative, nor has it the necessary cultural or political mandate. The birth mother, who is lauded for putting the child's interest above all else and giving her child for adoption, thereby performing an ultimate sacrifice such as only a mother can, is banished from her child's life. Isn't this woman exactly the mother this child needs? If one recalls the story of Solomon's judgement, the mother who was brave enough to give up her child is rewarded by having her child returned to her arms.
The work to reform adoption is well underway. In 2010 Korea acquiesced to the campaign by international adoptees for the return of their lost citizenship.
More recently the Australian Government apologized to birth mothers for the forcible adoptions carried out in decades past.
But the vulnerability of children who enter the adoption stream continues, as illustrated in the horrific practice of 'rehoming,' where adoptive parents hand off guardianship of children they no longer want with the ease with which they might any other transaction unsupervised by the law. Arrangements for the handover are made online between strangers who meet briefly in parking lots to effect the transfer. No one is watching. Megan Twohey has written an extensive series on 'rehoming' for Reuters, which you can read here.
This is not an easy issue. Adoption, like marriage or any other institution involving millions of people all over the world, cannot be summed up simply as wholly 'good' or wholly 'bad'. But I do believe we need to reform the system of inter-country adoption such that children and their birth mothers have rights the don't currently enjoy. This will require us to be more open, more accountable, and probably more uncomfortable.
Anyone who follows politics knows that bad policies flow from bad narratives At least in the short run, I think that to understand the complexities and ambiguities of this issue, we need new narratives as much as we need new policies. Which is why I wrote a novel, not an essay.
I will keep adding to the list of blogs I have collected on the right. All of them were valuable to my research, all of them speak courageously about loss in adoption. In doing so they are all part of the attempt to rewrite the narrative of adoption.

At The Ladies Finger, you can catch me chortling over Munro's win
In Munro's writing, generations live and breathe and die in the span of a few pages. Her short stories are celebrated for achieving what novels are charged with achieving and yet rarely do. They are celebrated for lighting up the landscape of our minds and our times. The contemporary novel – that unbearably bloated creation which confuses its desires with its ideas (think Franzen and Freedom) – has nothing on Munro or her form... full story here

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Director John Hughes both championed and obscured the Psychedelic Furs, and it's a wonderful shame. On the soundtrack to Pretty in Pink, Hughes caught the Furs when they were at their absolute best and, in the ears of most music listeners, cemented them there for all time. With the title song, the Psychedelic Furs captured perfectly the spirit and sound of a decade deeply indebted to its arty, punk-informed precedents yet vying for its own claim to the pop throne. Many bands ended up with watered-down, gentrified stabs at a hard edge or else clumsy and blockish forays into the rounded corners of shimmery pop, but the Furs were more adept at the blend.

Region: Fort Lauderdale
Perhaps it was the band's deep and abiding affection for the darkly poppy sounds of early Eno and Bowie that allowed them to twist the fabric of space/time to create something with the muscle and grit of punk but the sensitivity, sheen, and spirit of pop music. Bravo. Good for Hughes, and good for the Furs. Unfortunately, to fully understand what the Furs did, you have to pull them out of the cultural wormhole that is the Hughes legacy and listen to the band on its own terms, all the way from its first heated forays into blistering, noisy avant-rock to its unfortunate devolution into whitewashed synth-pop slaves.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Overview: Outworlders are the native species that exist in Outworld. Outworlders seem to only be utlized in Shao Kahns armies if they have superior combat abilities, like Reiko, leading to the conclusion that Tarkatans, Shokan, and Centaurs have higher statis atleast during Shao Kahns control. Biology: Outworlders look human like most sentient species throughout the realms though their are notable diffences. Outworlders have an extended lifespan allowing them to live for thousands of years. Outworlders have a natural afinity for magic which manifest in ways benefitting to the user, ie Bo' Rai Cho's seismic powers being attributed to his large girth.Personality: Outworlders vary in personality as much as humans do. While the most famous ones are know for their tyrannical ambitions like Shao Kahn, Bo' Rai Cho is a martial arts master working against the chaos that Outworld spreads to other realms. Li Mei is a fighter working to free her village from the Deadly Alliance. Most Outworlders just attempt to survive whoever is ruling them at the time. With constant states of upheavel and turmoil Outwirlders have become very good at perserving their spirit Technology: Outworlders use magic more than technology. While grand cities and Shao Kahns paalce are littered across Outworld these were built with similar technology to the ancient Egyptians. Outworlds lack of technology is what makes Earthrealm such a prize in Shao Kahns eyes. Shao Kahns military is they only area to utilze modern weaponry due to Kano and the Balck Dragons bartering it for Shao Kahns favor. Notable Members: Shao Kahn- The most current ruler of Outworld. Shao Kahn is a tyrannical leader using Mortal Kombat and direct conquest to add to his empire. Shao Kahn is noted as the most powerful Outwolrder since the only beings aboe to stand against him are sorcerors (Shang Tsung, Quan Chi), Gods(Rayden, Fujin, Shinnok), Onaga, and Liu Kang.Bo' Rai Cho- A martial arts master who does not agree with Shao Kahns methods. Bo' Rai Cho is noted for teaching martial arts to people who stand against Outworld such as Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Li Mei, and Shijinko.Li Mei- Li Mei village was enslaved to build a palace around Shang Tsung's soulando. Li Mei had attacked the enforcers and was noticed by Quan Chi who said that if she won a tournement she would be able to go free. After some training witrh Shujinko Li Mei was victorious and was then "free" to become a dragon king solider under Quan Chi's control. Li mei was partially spared this fate though she took on someof the Dragon Soliders charcteristics. General Reiko- A member of the Brotherhood of Shadow, Reiko is noted for his brutality in combat. After Shinnoks failed attempt to conquer Edenina, Reiko ended up serving as Shao Kahns general. Reiko grew to envy Shao Kahn and even wanted to become him. He wields a war hammer just like Kahn and has bee know to where his helmet when Shao Kahn is not around Powers and Abilities: Elemental Powers Outworlders seem to have atleast some who are capapble of using elemental powers. Bo' Rai Cho's seismic powers and Shao Kahn's energy charges support this.Longevity Outworlders have a naturally longer lifespan than humans due to their magic potential. Shao Kahn is noted to be well over 10,000 years old.Magic Potenial Outworlders seem to have a greater affinity for magic than humans since their society revolves around magic. Martial Arts Most, if not all Outworlders practice some form of martial arts, they are noted warriors and have to be since the other native species are formitable warriors as well.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
In the last movie you saw how I could graph the contents of a color space in 3D using this program called ColorThink to get a visualization of what colors that space can hold. I would like to show you now how a color space might compare to what a particular piece of paper can hold and how it might compare to what colors are contained in a specific image. Here is the gamut of the Adobe RGB color space--you saw this before--and here is the gamut of some Epson archival Matte paper. I am just going to pull that up right here, and they're going to be superimposed.
Now again, if I look at these two things down below, this inner circle is the color gamut of the Epson paper, this is the color gamut of the entire Adobe RGB color space. Let me turn down the opacity of Adobe RGB, and you can see that for the most part, the paper is contained completely within Adobe RGB. There's actually a little bit of yellow that the paper can handle that is outside the gamut of Adobe RGB. For the most part, the important thing to recognize here is that there are lots of colors in Adobe RGB that I simply cannot print on this particular type of paper.
When you're printing and a color falls outside of the gamut of your target paper, Photoshop or your printer driver will attempt to remap that out of gamut color in your image to the closest color that fits inside the paper's gamut. There are several different ways that it can choose to do this remapping, and we'll look at them later because you control of that once you get to the print dialog box. That remapping may cause a color shift in the remapped colors, most of the time it will, as Photoshop tries to find some kind of match that's within the paper's gamut.
Well, let's take a look at an actual image. I am going to ditch the Adobe RGB gamut here, and I am going to turn off the paper gamut, and I'm going to open up an image file in ColorThink, and what that's going to do is show me a scatter plot of all the colors within the image. This is going to be a little bit different than the space maps that we've seen before, because it's showing not a range of colors but distribution of very specific colors, and here it is. So you can see that this image has an assortment of colors, scattered around mostly in the reds.
So, if I now superimpose my paper's gamut over these colors, we see that there are a lot of colors that fall outside of the paper's gamut, all of these colors down in here, and there are a few up above here. Those actually cannot be held by the paper. Because they're out of gamut of the paper, Photoshop is going to try to remap them.
The good news is that the bulk of the colors in this particular image do fit inside the paper's gamut. Let me turn down the opacity here, and you can see that most of the colors are with inside the gamut of the paper, just some darker tones and some very light tones, so our out of gamut situation is not as bad as it seems. At other times, we might have an image with a lot of out of gamut colors. In those instances, we might want to consider switching to a different paper. Look what happens here, if I lose the Epson archival matte paper and switch to something called exhibition fiber paper, it's got a larger gamut.
Here is the gamut of the Epson archival matte paper, here's the exhibition fiber paper, so I pick up a lot of additional colors. It has just a slightly larger gamut, but still enough, it might make a difference just as a different paper choice can improve the blacks in the print switching to a paper with a wider gamut can improve color reproduction. Remember we haven't done anything wrong in shooting or editing. The camera and monitor will always have a wider gamut than any paper that you find. The trick is to minimize out of gamut colors, adapt if we need to, and be careful about how we control the remapping of colors that lie beyond the paper's gamut.
One last thing, I want to mention that ColorThink here is not actually graphing my images using an RGB color model. It's using a color model called LAB, which like RGB uses three coordinates to define a color. The axes, though, are quite a bit different. The L axis specifies lightness. In other words, we have an axis dedicated entirely to tone. The A and B axes specify two different color ranges. The reason ColorThink uses lab color is that lab's gamut includes all of the colors that can be perceived by the human eye.
That makes it larger than the RGB or CMYK color models. Therefore, it's big enough for me to look at all of the different color spaces that I might want to analyze. Don't worry right now about understanding too much about lab color. Yes, it can make some image edits easier, but for your everyday color work it's not a color model that you'll need to concern yourself with.

It must have been, because it you can complete the badge with only one requirement checked off, which is a pretty new feature IIRC.
I think maybe the badges were re-added?

not really, but still.
Originally posted by Blizzard2000:It must have been, because it you can complete the badge with only one requirement checked off, which is a pretty new feature IIRC.
Yeah, that definitely wasn't there before. I think they did it to fix the badge more than anything else.
It's because it used to say beat the game on normal – this can be done on any difficulty. Went unnoticed until now, so they fixed it.
So in conclusion… THEY LIED! ha ha no new badges and no new challenge. :P

Duchovny: Getting Served by His Tennis Instructor?
The truth may be out there about David Duchovny's reasons for entering sex rehab and subsequent separation from his wife, Tea Leoni, according to the Daily Mail.
The paper reports that Duchovny, 48, may have become romantically involved with his 28-year-old tennis instructor, Edit Pakay.
The Hungarian-born tennis pro, who charges $200 an hour for private lessons, admits to a "very, very close friendship" with Duchovny, whom she characterizes as "a wonderful man" who "is in great shape." Edit stops short of acknowledging any sexual interaction with the actor.
"I don't want to say anything that might hurt David," Pakay says. "I am not going to deny it."
A blabbermouth buddy of Pakay's is more forthright.
"This is a love affair," the pal states. "He told her he was going to leave his wife for her....[t]he physical side of it has been going on for at least six months, probably longer."
Duchovny and Pakay met last year at the Malibu Racket Club, a members-only establishment situated in Malibu, California.
A spokesman for the actor denies the claims, asserting, "There is no romantic relationship [between Duchovny and Pakay] and never has been."
So perhaps this whole thing is just a tempest in a teapot. Or, if you prefer, in a teacup.

The Islanders play the 3rd of their 6 game road trip tonight in Dallas against the Stars coming off a 2-1 overtime win on Friday night in Colorado. This is the second and final meeting between the two teams this season as the Islanders defeated the Stars 7-3 last Monday night at Nassau Coliseum.
The Hawks finished off the Canada portion of their Circus road trip with a 3-2 SO win against the Dallas Stars, moving their record to 5-1-0 on the circus road trip. Corey Crawford stayed in strong in net on a night that the Hawks turned over the puck over far more often than usual, stopping 25 shots and denying 10 shooters in the shootout and earning his 100th NHL win in dramatic fashion.
The Stars got the first goal of the night after a bad play and miscommunic...
The Chicago Blackhawks (15-0-3) look to extend their eighteen game points streak against the Edmonton Oilers (7-7-3) on home ice tonight. It's the first of three meetings between the two Western Conference squads in this shortened season.
The Blackhawks, who, almost inconceivably, have yet to yield a regulation loss through their first 18 games, are playing in the second half of their fourth back-to-back this season after dispatching the perennially challenged Columbus Blue Jackets 1-0 last night. Despite putting forth one of their weakest efforts of the season, the Hawks were able to walk away with yet another victory on the strength of goa...
The Edmonton Oilers, winners of six in a row, are off to their best start in a quarter-decade. They'll be the visitors tonight at Jobing.com Arena as they face off against the Phoenix Coyotes, who after a five-game unbeaten streak fell victim to Pekka Rinne's 23rd shutout on Thursday.
The Coyotes, who were 3-1 against the Oilers last season, sent Andy Miele back to the AHL's Portland Pirates yesterday, as Cal O'Reilly is expected to start tonight. Mike Smith will likely be the starting goaltender, and Martin Hanzal's status is still questionable. Out for the Oilers are Cam Barker, Ales Hemsky, Ryan Whitney and Darcy Hordichuk.

Southern African Development Coordination Conference
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (June 2007)
The Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC), which was the forerunner of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), was formed in Lusaka, Zambia, on 1 April 1980, following the adoption of the Lusaka Declaration (entitled Southern Africa: Towards Economic Liberation) by the nine founding member states (Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe). The Co-ordination Conference was a result of a long process of consultations in the seventies. Some of the main goals for the Member States were to be less dependent on apartheid South Africa and to introduce programmes and projects which would influence the Southern African countries and whole region.
The Declaration and Treaty establishing the SADC, which replaced the Coordination Conference, was signed at the Summit of Heads of State or Government on 17 August 1992, in Windhoek, Namibia.

How long do you give your clients to pay?
Or should I ask, what is acceptable? I generally give clients 30 days to pay from the date of delivery. In my mind that is being more than fair considering a job that might take 3 weeks to complete actually means you're carrying the operating cost of 7 weeks.
Is 30 days the industry standard? I would think that would more than enough time for the client's accounting department to process and disperse a check. I know now days most banks like to wait until closing (which I disagree with), but that is normally discussed prior to accepting the appraisal.
I just recently completed multiple commercial assignments for a bank in which the total fee was $4,000. The loan officer in charge changed jobs shortly after he engaged me, however prior to leaving he indicated the appraisals would be for internal use and that the bank would be paying for the appraisal fees upon delivery. There would be no hold-ups due to closings, etc.
Fast forward. A new LO from another branch has taken over the loans. He was actually the boss of the former LO. We spoke shortly after he took over the loans at which point I asked if he would like me to turn each report in as it was finished, or should I wait until they were all complete and send them as a package. He asked that I send them as one package.
I delivered the reports over nearly a month ago. Keep in mind most had been completed nearly 2 months ago. To date I had not receive payment or any notice of payment since. I contacted the LO yesterday and inquired about payment. He said the reports haven't even been reviewed by the loan department and not to expect payment for some time. I asked if his bank had a policy on paying venders within a specific time and he said no. I informed him of the agreement I had with the prior LO of NLT than 30 days. He said he didn't care about the agreement and I'd just have to wait.
I let him know that I was just a one man shop and operate on a low margin. It most cases I can carry a 1k fee for a month or more, but 4k I can't. Especially given that my summer was extremely slow. Now its caused a shortage of operating income that may cause me to close the doors until I get paid. Not to mention late fees I'll incur from delinquent bills. I'm embarrassed to admit that but I've been hit hard over the past 2 years.
I'm not sure what the best course of action is. I'm not so much worried about losing him as a client, but I know causing a big scene would only drag out the payment longer.
How can I make this LO/bank understand that I can't afford to carry their debt, and what can I reasonably do about it?
With this particular assignment there was not hard copy engagement letter by either side. The prior LO and I had an understanding of terms and there was never a problem. I know, I know, big mistake on my part. However, the new LO just flat doesn't care and expressed no desire to see that I get paid on a timely manner)
Thanks for any advice. Sorry for the rant

You've got clients that pay?
We must reject the idea that we are not trustworthy. We work by a code of ethics, AMCs do not.
Not so good there is not a written engagment letter. Have you considered going around the LO, directly to the accounts payable department? They should be able to tell you their written policy for paying vendors, as in "30 days net." If so, send the invoices directly to the accounts payable department, especially since you are not concerned about retaining this client.
Last edited by gregb : 12-16-2011 at 09:11 PM.
Yes, otherwise we don't do business together. I would hope all appraisers feel the same way.
I don't generally have to deal with these problems because I'm selective with my clients. Ones who I do not know or trust, pay in advance.
The instance in my original post is rare.
Thanks! I thought about that but I don't think accounting will disburse funds until they get authorization from the LO. The LO will not authorize until the loan review committee has reviewed the reports.
I hadn't had problems with this bank before, however, they recently merged with another bank and inherited their policies. This all happened after I was engaged to do the appraisals.
I don't have to deal with that side of the business yet. However there was a thread a few days ago discussing factoring. It might be worth looking into. 90-95% in a few days might be better than 100% in a month or two, at least in this once case.
So you saw that thread about factoring. With the company I represent the factor fee is 5%. And yes, getting your fees paid within a day or two is better than 30, 60, or even 90 days!
TV - Maybe you should buy some advertising here if you want to do that.
To the OP, is there someone up the food chain you can go to? Most all of my clients pay within 30 days, but from time to time someone goes long. For continuing customers I don't even remind them unless it hits 60 days because I know they will pay and I don't like to make a fuss with good customers just because something gets shuffled to the side. That said, for new customers or customers with new representatives like you describe, I'd be pushing harder if it went over 30 days. Particularly if it was causing a problem and the LO just didn't seem to care. I'd describe the issue to someone with a higher pay grade than the LO and see what happens.
Good luck.
Eff Cancer!
OP, first of all, I'm glad you recognize that you should have had an engagement letter. It takes two minutes to put together and protects you in situations just like this.
As a practice, I insist on retainers for all new clients, all LLC clients, and anyone else who sounds screwy. If they don't want to pay the retainer, let them go elsewhere. Once they have the report, you have minimal leverage, even if you do take them to court. It's time consuming and expensive.
With established clients, if we don't see payment by 30 days, they'll get a tickler. At 60, they'll get another tickler and a phone call. At 90, a letter and a phone call. At 120 days, I usually hold my breath until I'm blue in the face. If they haven't paid by then, they probably won't pay, unless there's extenuating circumstances.
As to your specific situation, I'd call the LO and ask him for the name of the bank's compliance officer. When he asks why, tell him that the OCC tracks appraisers not being paid as a means of lenders applying undue pressure. Once you write a letter to the compliance officer, he HAS to report it to his regulator. I assure you he would rather get a root canal without Novocain. Remember, you can only do this once, because you will lose the client, but you will get paid.

Food & Recipes
Root Vegetable Saute
This Recipe Is:
1 1/2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon
canola oil
4 small
leeks, white parts only, chopped into half-inch lengths and washed well
2 pounds
mixed root vegetables, chopped into 3/4 inch chunks, should yield about 5 cups
2 tablespoons
fresh tarragon
salt and pepper, to taste
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over high heat (use a skillet that has a lid). Add the leeks and root vegetables and cook them for just a minute or two to get them started. Add some salt and cover with a lid; reduce the heat to medium-low for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, raise the heat to medium, and cook until tender. For me it only took 10 more minutes, with the larger pieces I've suggested, it should take more like 15 or 20 and the vegetables will have time to develop some color and flavor.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the tarragon and season with salt and pepper before serving

- Conference date: 19–25 September 2011
- Location: Halkidiki, (Greece)
In this paper, the performance of the Multi Dynamics Algorithm for Global Optimization (MAGO) is studied through simulation using five standard test functions. To guarantee that the algorithm converges to a global optimum, a set of experiments searching for the best combination between the only two MAGO parameters ‐number of iterations and number of potential solutions, are considered. These parameters are sequentially varied, while increasing the dimension of several test functions, and performance curves were obtained. The MAGO was originally designed to perform well with small populations; therefore, the self‐adaptation task with small populations is more challenging while the problem dimension is higher. The results showed that the convergence probability to an optimal solution increases according to growing patterns of the number of iterations and the number of potential solutions. However, the success rates slow down when the dimension of the problem escalates. Logit Model is used to determine the mutual effects between the parameters of the algorithm.

George Tiller used to say "There is no Q. U. I. T. in G. E. O. R. G. E." The word "quit" was not in his vocabulary, and it should not be in ours.
This war on providers has been going on so long it has become essentially "the new normal," with significant public attention only when a provider is murdered.
The Kansas Board of Discipline of Attorneys will hold a hearing on February 21 to deliberate on Kline's disbarment for seeking the private medical records of 90 women who had later terminations of pregnancy.
I began providing abortions in 1974. I never imagined that in the year 2011, I would see so many efforts to separate patients from doctors and deprive women of safe, legal health care.
In 1966, at age 15, I had an illegal abortion. I later became a provider. The constant violation of the rights of clients and providers led me to participate in the first Universal Periodic Review to advocate for people whose rights need to be protected.
Dr. Baird Bardarson of Seattle and Whidbey Island, Washington, was a true champion, pioneer, humanitarian, and heroic abortion provider. His loss cuts very deeply for our community of abortion providers.
Access to legal abortion promises a state-of-existence never before experienced, where women are fully empowered to steward the procreative power of the species.
Those who provide access to abortions have ethical, spiritual, and religious wisdom that this world needs, and this community needs to claim and celebrate its power, goodness, morality, and justice.
Fourteen years ago, March 10 was chosen as the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers to honor those who continue our work despite the harassment meant to drive us away and to mourn those lost to violence.

Did not get the dolly I was charged for. Made moving difficult for the movers. I was at work and not able to make it back to the store. I was charged for late fee. The dolly would have made moving things much easier.
Why do you charge per mile? Im paying for the hourly usage and gas, what does mileage have to do with anything? Am I also paying for the depreciation of truck?
Its ridiculous and has no bearing on business but to make your company more money. You should charge on time not mileage.
Nothing. Everything was wonderful.
truck smelled like beer and cup holder had spilled beer inside
No improvements needed!
The only problem was the odometer had 15 more miles than the paperwork showed when I got in and drove off. I did take a picture of the miles.
the customer service is excellent the process was quick and simple I was very pleased with my experience
I had ordered my truck online to be picked up at a different location but my order was transferred to this location. I was never notified of the change so I had to do some driving around until I found who had my reservation though it was no fault of this location.
