It was true that I had been denied and I was interested in their help. The female on the other line said that she could get me a visa or mastercard with no interest. All that I had to do is to pay the minimum balance every month. This process would help me to get my credit better. She explained that I would have to pay 299 dollars to join the group.
I asked for all the information that a one would think to ask, but the answers seemed to be true and legit. I told the woman that I did not have a credit card and would not be able to pay. She said that it was okay and I could pay with a check. I still was not sure about it so I told the woman that I would think about it. She called back the next day, and a few days later the check cleared.
After about a month past I started calling back wondering were the card was. The line constantly busy. Sometimes when I did get through I was put on hold then hung up on. After many atempts I finally got in and talk to a female who gave me another number to call for my question. That number too does not work.
After two months of calling I was sent a package. This package contained pamphlets and a cd rom that is useless. There was no card in this package, just junk. I have still tried many more times to contact this company, but no success. If anyone can help me please contact me.

So I called my husband ( he is deployed in Florida right now ) and gave him the worst chewing out he had had in a while. I come online to see what kind of stuff the company does and the only site I found was this one. I read how other people were going through the exact same thing and I re called USBI and they told me I would have to call my provider and they could tell me how to bring up the site it was from my computers memory.
Well, I have a system washing software that would have done away with anything like that. So I am gonna try it out, maybe this software isnt as affective as it says. Verizon says they are aware of the problem, even though I dont know what they are doing about it. I blocked 3rd party billing to prevent this from happening again. I dont know how they got my info to begin with.

Personally, I don't think so. Just because Super Mario Bros. 2 features a trans character, it doesn't give the game explicit trans themes. Games like Rocky Horror Show, on the other hand do. So, should we clean the list of games that only contain characters which are LGBT, but do not mention gay themes specifically?
Does the appearance of a gay character qualify a game as LGBT?

(Benzoylamino)methyl 4-[(Benzoylamino)methoxy]benzoate
AbstractIn this note, two procedures for the synthesis of (benzoylamino)methyl 4-[(benzoylamino)methoxy]benzoate (3) are presented. The first procedure is carried out in dioxane/water using benzoylaminomethyl-4-hydroxybenzoate, while the second one employs a suspension of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in dioxane. In both procedures, benzamidomethyl triethylammonium chloride is used for the benzamidomethylation reaction.

Lorna McNessie Design by Azure-and-CopperWatch
©2014-2016 Azure-and-Copper
My take on the leaked 'Lorna McNessie' character for Monster High
I think she's pretty cute I'll do a second version once the character is released!
I think she's pretty cute I'll do a second version once the character is released!
I kind of want to make this into a custom outfit for my actual Lorna doll.
She looks very pretty. I love the way you have blend the tartan and fish patterns together
OMG, it's cute. I love her shoes :3
Adorable design.
I flipped out and started squealing when I saw her character profile on the website. I think I died a little inside knowing I'll have to wait so long before I can get my hands on her xAx
Yesss, I'm glad they finally released her - and glad that my design wasn't too far off :3
I wish she would look like this! This is the best loch ness girl I've seen before. I'm absolutely in love with your design <3
Adorable! Really cool clothes!
I didn't even hear about her! That is cool can't wait to see what she looks like ^-^
I bet the actual doll will be 100% more disappointing than your design, because your design is AWESOME!
Lovely! She looks great.
Lovely, hope she's like that
dawww she's a doll
she looks sooo cutee <3
he is very cute!!! I really love her pose and her design! her outfit is cute and so are her spots!
Eee I love her spots xD Thanks!!
I do too! I have a lochness monster girl as well and she has freckles! those are kind of like spots XD
She is seriously cute!
this is adorable!

Will iPhone Lead the Growth in Portable Gaming?
At its media event in early September, Apple threw down the gauntlet to Nintendo Co. and Sony Corp. Dedicated gaming gadgets like the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable "seemed so cool," said Phil Schiller, Apple's head of marketing, but "they don't stack up against the iPod touch." Now an industry research firm has come out with numbers that back up Apple's challenge.
A study by DFC Intelligence, released on Friday, predicts that games for the iPhone and iPod touch (an iPhone without the cellular capabilities) will be the principal drivers for growth in the overall portable and mobile gaming market in five years.
DFC, which is based in San Diego, estimates that the overall market will grow by just 8% to $11.7 billion by 2014 from $10.9 billion in 2008. The bulk of that–about $6.3 billion–will still come from dedicated portable game devices like the DS and PSP, but that market will shrink by about 27% from 2008 over that period.
Revenue from iPhone and iPod touch games, however, are expected to soar to more than $2.8 billion in 2014, compared with a mere $46 million in 2008.
DFC also found, in a survey of over 8,000 game players, that 45% of respondents in North America and 36% of respondents in Europe had purchased an application for their mobile phone in the past year. About 15% of respondents overall owned an iPhone or iPod Touch, compared to 29% who owned a Nintendo DS.
"Dedicated portable game systems are not going to go away, but Apple is really driving the growth," said David Cole, an analyst with DFC.

Todd McShay's latest mock draft is out, but his pick for the Kansas City Chiefs remains the same. He still has Louisiana State wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. going to the Chiefs with their first-round pick, which is 23rd overall.
You've heard this from me before but it bears repeating: A wide receiver makes a ton of sense for the Chiefs from both the short and long terms. A fast wide receiver like Beckham could give the Chiefs in 2014 an element they lacked with any kind of consistency last year. Long range, the Chiefs have to begin preparing for the day when Dwayne Bowe is no longer their No. 1 receiver. Bowe had the least productive full season of his career last year and he turns 30 in September.
Beckham also would provide the Chiefs with a return threat, something they might otherwise lack. Dexter McCluster and Quintin Demps, two of their top returners last season, are scheduled to be free agents.
As McShay points out, the Chiefs could use an immediate boost at other positions as well. They must do something at free safety, though they think a lot of Sanders Commings, a draft pick last year and the strongest in-house candidate to fill the job. They could also use another talented body for their defensive line, among other needs.
But ignoring their shortcomings at wide receiver is particularly risky. Chiefs wide receivers last season were last in catches (120), yards (1,544) and first downs (76). They were tied for 28th in touchdowns (9).
So if the Chiefs like Beckham and think he can be that solution both short and long term, it's a mistake to pass on him.

Pretty cool polaroid design - but I'm having issues trying to get the # of columns to display multiple columns such as configurable under the "Gallery Settings" > Gallery Columns drop down options #s 1-9.
For whatever reason, it's not allowing me to display the specified # of columns...it's only displaying 2 long vertical columns which goes straight all the way down my page vs. displaying across (horizontally). For example - if I'm trying to display 20 poloroid photos, it'll display all 20 pix but in 2's (vs. the specified column # such as let's say in 5's or whatever).
Feel free to take a peek at my website (listed below) to refer to what I'm talking about & to see my 2 'column' issues (click on the 'Photos' menu > scroll down on the photos page to see my polaroid photos).
Thanks for your help!

Well.................5 Nil it is!
After the 1st 3 tests nothing short of the weather was clearly going to be enough to stop a defeat. Batting was rubbish, effort was rubbish, application was rubbish, desire was rubbish...........and so on.
In football terms it's probably akin to a 5 match series between England and Finland....and England lose all 5 games 6 nil.
It's a joke how there can be such a swing in performance over such a short period of time.

We recently finished a complete overhaul of our website, we selected AbleCommerce and are now so glad we did! Able's eCommerce is user friendly yet includes many features that
streamline our ordering and shipping process, and it's simple to make changes to our website as needed. The staff at AbleCommerce are very knowledgeable and were
extremely patient & helpful.
You don't have to spend $25k to get results. Don't let other salespersons steer you the wrong way. We made the decision to try the $1000 out of the box ready to go
Able eCommerce Store and we have been very happy with our decision. Waste no more time, AbleCommerce is the only software out there
that delivers!
This is a genuinely good cart. We have had great feedback from our customers since changing to AbleCommerce.
I highly recommend this product to anyone needing to create or upgrade his or her current cart.
AbleCommerce has been a fantastic investment for our company. We've found their solution to be very well built and the AbleCommerce team to be exceptionally professional and responsive..
a refreshing change from the other e-commerce vendors we evaluated. I would highly recommend AbleCommerce to anyone looking for a complete e-commerce solution.
The cart's biggest strength is the wide range of options and abilities it offers for developers and for vendors -
many features are already there that we can utilize in future phases. it is written very well and allows for a lot of
customization if required. AbleCommerce also has top-notch technical support available which was of great assistance to our team.
I've said it before on the phone, but I'll put it in writing - you guys are the greatest! You (and Smedia) have delivered more in the past few weeks than x
has ever delivered (not counting near-psychotic states and migranes, which they delivered in spades).
Have relied on AbleCommerce since 2009. Out-of-the-box, provides more useful functionality than many titles with much higher price tags.
Support and resources have been excellent and a commitment to incorporate new technologies gives me confidence in entrusting such an important part
of my business to AbleCommerce. Beyond the robust out-of-the-box features, the authors have shown great attention and consideration to developers and integrators.
I have customized AbleCommerce to my unique needs and integrated it with my internal ERP, myself, without the need for expensive third-party developers.
The design facilitates upgrades without breaking previous customizations.
Our internal ERP software vendor hawks their own "web store", designed to work specifically with our system, and wants a mere $20,000+ for it.
But it doesn't come close to matching AbleCommerce's abilities that we get at less than 10% the cost.
I've been using Able Commerce for years and have no need or intention of switching to another program. I've compared and tried many & all lack the capabilities
straight out of the box that Able has. The asp.net programing with many options, kits, bundles, up sell and cross sell allows you to completely customize
a product for the retail consumer. Marketing tools, coupons, discounts, blast email, with customizable templates allow you to personalize the experience.
Able Gold is responsive and looks beautiful on all platforms. Gone are the days of having a mobile site when one does it all.
The option to host your self or be hosted with Able is perfect for the new asp.net user. It allows you time to focus on what you do.
Service is excellent, if ever I break something they are fast to help! You won't go wrong by choosing Able! 30 day free trial and bam your sold!
We have been using Able Commerce since 2004. I am amazed with their ability to upgrade and make the software relevant to competitive market place changes,
demanding expectations of savvy on-line shoppers and the rapid growth in technology. Able Gold is a great example. We are converting a traditional legacy website
into an updated and mobile friendly responsive site. We have been using Able to host our site from the beginning. With a history of no hosting issues or downtime
I have complete confidence our site will run with clockwork precision. The "backstage" functionality of the software allows the ability to professionally
manage dynamically built SKU's with thousands of options for Style, Size, Color, Price. The order management process easily tracks orders from receipt thru
assembly and production to customer notification at the time of shipping. We are very pleased with the performance of the product and the results we have
achieved using Able Commerce over many years.
We've been using AbleCommerce for many years and recently upgraded to the GOLD version.
Wow! Very nice shopping cart and storefront software. The best thing about it is the flexibility it offers.
There isn't anything we've wanted it to do that we haven't been able to implement. We chose the hosted version,
so we have none of the hassles of installation or maintenance, beyond the customizations we add ourselves.
Mike and Katie have both been super-responsive whenever anything went wrong or when we needed to upgrade.
So far it has been an awesome experience all around. I highly recommend this software and the team at AbleCommerce.

Last night I heard a part-hilarious, part-terrifying story that I had, up until now, only thought possible in the movies.
While driving home my female friend was, basically, crashed into by a male driver intent on stopping her one way or another in order to get her phone number.
Almost unbelievable I know, but true.
Perhaps more ridiculous, this was in Hendon. Not the Bronx, not Compton, Hendon.
Thankfully she was ok, although her car was, unsurprisingly, sporting a little damage this morning.
In the end she got his number, but only for insurance purposes, naturally.
Whether or not she took the collision as a compliment is as yet unknown.
It might not do much for your paintwork, but it's surely quite some ego boost...

Bringing Safe Water to Rural Peru
Since 2012, the Clorox Safe Water program has provided public bleach dispensers to help safely disinfect drinking water in rural Peru, while also teaching the importance of safe water and good hygiene.
Partnering with PRISMA, a local nongovernmental organization, the public dispensers are filled with a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite, the primary ingredient in Clorox® bleach. Sodium hypochlorite kills more than 99 percent of the viruses and bacteria commonly found in untreated water for up to 48 hours.
Over the next four years, the program will provide more than 100 million liters of safe drinking water annually to 25,000 people.

Mosquito Protection Tips
The ZIKV (Zika virus) outbreak currently occurring in multiple countries, including regions within the Americas, has raised questions about the possible role our company could play in addressing the problem. Because the virus is spread primarily by the Aedes genus of mosquitoes, Clorox is educating the public, in areas affected by Zika, on preventive measures, including steps they can take to eliminate mosquito breeding sites to reduce the potential for infection and how they can empty and clean containers with bleach to help eliminate the food source of mosquito larvae — efforts consistent with our company's longtime commitment to public health.For more information on the Zika virus and prevention, visit http://www.cdc.gov/zika.

April 1, 2016
With an historic 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' just one month from opening at the prestigious Washington National Opera, I am both tired and excited. Rehearsals have been intense, compressed, and thrilling. Immediately post 'Ring' performances here in our nation's Capital; I will head to Boston with two of my D.C. colleagues to perform Act 1 of Siegfried for the Boston Wagner Society. I was very pleased to provide an in-depth interview for the BWS in anticipation of our May 28, 2016 concert. Below is the interview in its entirety:
Interview with Tenor David Cangelosi
- We anticipate with great pleasure your upcoming role as Mime at our May 28 concert of Act 1 of Siegfried. You have sung the role of Mime numerous times, at the Metropolitan Opera, in San Francisco, and many other places. And now you are about to sing it again for Washington National Opera in the spring. Is there anything about this role that attracts you both as a singer and an actor?
┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á┬á The role of Mime (Siegfried) is one of the most towering in all of opera. The answer to your question is actually IN your question! This role allows for the singer to ÔÇśactÔÇÖ, and the actor to ÔÇśsingÔÇÖ. This is an unusual two-way street that is fulfilling in each direction. I have worked for 20 years to knit these two elements into a cohesive whole. I hope it comes through as such!
- You are an excellent comedian and very dynamic on the stage. Do you prefer comic roles? Or are you comfortable with both comedy and tragedy?
I actually prefer the darker, more sinister roles of them all. My mind wanders to a production of Boris Godunov when I sang the role of ShuiskyÔÇŽhe is a King-maker to be sure; but he undermines Boris every step of the way. (Delicious stuff!) Comedy is fun, Romance is sweet, but Sinister is eternal. ItÔÇÖs effective theatrically, and leaves a deep (if non-sympathetic) imprint. I love to darken and deaden my eyesÔÇŽprobably because that is the exact opposite of my real-life persona.
- How do you prepare yourself emotionally to convey the comic or tragic elements of a role?
In truth, I sit quietly before any given performance for a few crucial minutes and say to myself: ÔÇťWhat is it you want to do tonight? Who is it that you want to be??ÔÇŁ Then I just step into the painting/mural that I have created in my own mind, but always with the audienceÔÇÖs fulfillment in mind.
- You have sung a huge number of roles all over the world, which is quite remarkable. As a ÔÇťcharacter singer,ÔÇŁ most of these have been secondary roles, though definitely not less important. Do you feel that, with Wagner especially, your Fach garners less attention than, say, a Heldentenor or a Heldenbariton?
Of course there is less attention to my FachÔÇŽwhich is all the more reason to redefine my Fach to all of my esteemed singing colleagues, directors, and producers. Every fan wants a piece of a Heldentenor/Heldenbariton. Every performer wants some of the ÔÇśfairy-dustÔÇÖ that falls from their framework. But if you can garner attention as a character singer/character actor, then you have not only strengthened your own standing, but you have likely strengthened the same for the primary characters with whom you interact. I used to teach very young acting students in college to earn extra money; and I used to tell them that their #1 job was ÔÇťto make the other ÔÇśguyÔÇÖ look goodÔÇŁ. (IÔÇÖve been trying to do the same thing for my colleagues for the last 35 years!)
- Speaking of Wagner, do you find that you have to have a concentration, voice, and tessitura that is different from, say, Italian opera?
Wagner is the most all-encompassing composer in the history of humankind. It takes every fiber of your talent to execute his music and libretti with distinction. I work non-stop to imbue every word, every line, even every REST with deeper intent. When I finish with a performance, or even a rehearsal of Mime (Siegfried) for example; I am usually exhausted both physically and mentallyÔÇŽand I should be! Truly great artists, such as Hildegard Behrens, were able to dispatch both great ÔÇśWagnerian OperaÔÇÖ, and great–but more general–ÔÇśItalian OperaÔÇÖ with equal prominence. I only wish someone could say that about me someday. That would make me very happy.
- With Mime, do you sing in a more nasal and whiny tone to get into character, as opposed to singing Loge or Zorn, for instance?
Absolutely not! That is one of the ways I have set myself apart from many of my counterparts historically. Some producers actually want a whiny singer in an effort to fulfill their very simplistic conception of a character. The dirty little secret, however, is that they actually want their primary principal artists to sound better by comparison. None of them will admit this, but you asked; and now youÔÇÖve gotten more of an answer than you expected. The plain fact of the matter is that I did this once, for something very high profile. I did myself no favors, and have regretted it ever since. I was trying to play ÔÇťPlease the teacherÔÇŁÔÇŽand I reversed course immediately and tried to never do it again once I heard it. I sing like myselfÔÇŽand I try to sing beautifully, or I prefer to not sing at all. That does not mean I sing without characterÔÇŽbut ÔÇścharacterÔÇÖ doesnÔÇÖt mean constantly whining, barking, or providing nasality. Those sounds have their dramatic place; but in my world, they had better be the exception and not the rule!
- Unlike most singers, you have a wonderful blog on your web site (davidcangelosi.com). I really enjoy reading it. You are funny and informative. Why donÔÇÖt more singers take the step you have taken, which would be so valuable to opera lovers?
My website represents the organized musings of an opera professional. I write to express myself, or to get things off of my chest. I sometimes write reviews of performances I have seen, I tell an anecdote from my childhood, or follow a particular thought process from a production that I am working on. ItÔÇÖs my hope that someday there will be enough blog-entries for a book. I am only sorry that I started so late in life. I have been given journals to write in over the years, but I hate doing it by hand; that is why I started so late. When my website was upgraded a few years ago, I decided to hop on the ÔÇśblogging-bandwagonÔÇÖ since it was easy to write via laptop and post to my own site. To be fair, a lot of my colleagues do the sameÔÇŽI just happen to do it better!! (ha ha)
- Can you name five of your all-time favorite roles in opera?
ThatÔÇÖs an easy one, but I will not include the aforementioned ÔÇśMimeÔÇÖ; and will in fact open the question to rolesÔÇömost of whichÔÇöI donÔÇÖt even sing, except for one below.
- Salome (Salome)
- Parsifal (Parsifal)
- Ping (Turandot)
- Prunier (La Rondine)
- Grand Inquisitor (Don Carlos)
- It is great to see you come back to Boston, since this is where you studied music and sung with the Boston Lyric Opera and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Do you have any fondness for the city, and what places will you visit while you are here for the May 28 concert?
Since the once legendary Locke-Ober restaurant at Winter Place closed a few years ago, I guess I will have to find a new place for lunch! I used to love its elder-world, historic, old-school feel. After being around for some 130 + years, I never really envisioned that it would somehow disappear. I thought that there would always exist a clientele that wanted to step back in time, eat classic French cuisine, take a peek at John F. KennedyÔÇÖs private booth, marvel at their reflection in polished silver, and have gracious waiters tend to their dining experience. So, if you have any suggestionsÔÇŽ I am all ears!!

Being prepared for an emergency goes beyond just having a smoke alarm or extra food in the pantry.
This year, emergency officials are calling on everyone to be more prepared in case of a disaster.
We visited with the firefighters at Grand Junction Fire Station One Thursday morning and they had tips on what more you can do.
This is National Emergency Preparedness Month and the slogan is: Are you ready, or are you ready?
Mike Page with the Grand Junction Fire Department has already talked with us about the importance of having supplies that will last about three days.
But he also answers questions about what needs to be in an emergency kit, what are the most important items, what else to include that you might not think about, how to communicate with your family and setting up a plan.

I am told he is swamped and cannot come and finish the work. The whole process was filthy leaving me to hours of cleaning, vents, rugs, basically every room in the house because they did not seal off the rooms they were working on leaving the sanding process to spread dust and debris all over my household including electrical outlets, light switches and vent ducts. Have yet to return to finish a job I have paid $950 to have done and I dont know where to turn.
I should not be charged for my second room that has been left in shambles, I have spent hours cleaning up their mess and am still stuck with a job that was not done up to any contractors standards. Rude messages, sd the reason for not completing is that I texted him instead of called. Should have been all fixed the day the work was done.

Home Improvement Contracts -- NYS Law
State law regulates the sale of home improvement goods and services and applies to most types of improvements costing more than $500 where a deposit is given by homeowners, co-op owners and tenants. Here are some important provisions of the law:
1) Any schedule of progress payments agreed to in the contract must bear a reasonable relationship to the work done, materials purchased or other project-related costs.
2) Any contract payments received by a contractor from a customer prior to the substantial completion of the job must be put into a trust or escrow account in a New York State bank within 5 business days and the customer must be notified where the money is being held within 10 business days. The contractor can withdraw the deposit only under these circumstances: a) under the terms of the payment schedule agreed on by the contractor and customers. b) upon substantial completion of the job c) if the customer violates the contract, but only to the extent that the amount covers the contractor's cost.
3) As an alternative to the progress payments arrangement, the contractor must deliver a "bond" or "contract of indemnity" to the customer, guaranteeing the customer's money will be properly used or returned. The bond must be delivered within 10 business days after the contractor receives the customer's money.
4) Home improvement contracts must be in writing, legible and in plain English. A copy of the contract must be given to the customer before any work begins. The contract must contain: a) the contractor's name, address and telephone number. b) the approximate start and completion dates, including any contingencies which would change the completion date. c) a specific description of the work and materials, including brands, model numbers or other identifying information along with the price. d) and the following notice: "The customer has an unconditional right to cancel until midnight of the third business day after the contract was signed. Cancellation must be done in writing. The Contractor is legally required to deposit all progress payments received prior to completion in an escrow account or to post a bond to protect these payments. If the contractor or subcontractor who does the work is not paid he may have a claim against the customer's property under the Lien Law."
5) A customer may sue for actual damages, plus a $500 penalty and reasonable attorneys' fees if the contractor has used fraudulent written statements to get the customer to sign the contract. The Attorney General is also authorized to go to court to stop illegal practices and order contractors to compensate dissatisfied or defrauded customers. Contractors can also face $100 civil fines for violating the law and fines from $250 to $2500 for violating provisions of the law dealing with the protection of the customer's payments.
6) The contractor must also continue to comply with any local licensing laws. The information contained in this guide was created in conjunction with the New York State Attorney General's Office. For additional information on the law you may contact them at 1-800-771-7755.

#2. You doubt your guys stepped on the floor??? Hmmm, the guy that did the room in question told me he was new at this and then to suggest I would KICK the holes to make the worse is absurd, its called a close up picture. It was 7:45 pm when they finished and getting DARK. How could I possibly do a proper inspection? The floors were not walked on until 9/24 when I came back from out of town.
#3. We were scheduled for a 2 day job and somehow you said it could all be finished in one day. So sorry I asked your "professional opinion" on what baseboard goes with the flooring as I had no idea how it would turn out.
#4. Suggesting a referral and to start going ahead with the Pergo was simply to light a fire under you, expecting that may encourage you to finish what you started!! You didn't even respond to this message AT ALL!!
#5. You have never once left me a voice mail message, YOU were supposed to call me as I provided a time as to which I would be available.
#6. How is speaking my mind and wanting others to know how I was treated as a person slander? You were vulgar and obviously irritated with me asking your opinion on things, to which most you didn't respond till I asked a second time.
#7. Telling a customer you dont want to see their face, then stating you will come back and do the work anyway its a little scary. I would not welcome that into my house. If you want to send your guys they were nice and I would talk to them. #8. Yes to the naked eye the job did look good in the dark. Upon coming home I could actually see in the daylight the job was very rough and the mess left was incredibly disturbing.
#9. Have someone besides you call me and I would be responsive. 2 weeks was plenty of time for someone that says these are very MINOR ISSUES. If this was your home and you couldnt move forward with any other work as a result I doubt you would think they were so minor. #10 Pete has seen none of this with his own 2 eyes as he was off site 8 or 9 hours before his guys even finished. If you want to talk false accusations I suggest you take a look at what you actually know to be fact.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#5 REBUTTAL Owner of company
In Response to RANDY ****
AUTHOR: Dolan Renovations - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 11, 2012POSTED: Thursday, October 11, 2012
He agreed for us to do this verbally over the phone. The sanding and finishing came out beautiful. While doing the bedroom my employees did ding the wall in two places, but the pictures he posted looks like he put a foot to it before taking the picture. Either way it is still an easy fix. When my employees had Randy **** check the job before leaving he said that it looked great and then he asked my guys if they want a beer - which they declined. My Employees told him to stay off the floor for at least 24 hrs. After they left he sent me a text msg "looks great. I got a referral for ya already." Sounds to me like he liked our work. During the day I had a couple conversations with Randy concerning the front foyer, and the base molding. He was undecided on exactly what he wanted. He only paid me for the services we provided.
The following Monday he pointed out the two little holes and mentioned a footprint in the floor. I doubt my guys stepped on the floor but knowing that it is an easy fix I agreed to take care of the footprint and wall repair when we come back to do the foyer and base boards. During that week I had a few conversations with Randy, mostly through text, about what he wanted in the foyer and what he wanted to do with the base molding. Every time I tried to call him he would not answer, he would only text me. He finally on Thursday the 27 of September sent me a picture of regular Colonial casing, saying "something like this works, Pine or Oak. I don't care. I just want it finished. " He also stated that he wants Tile in the foyer.
Next he text me on October 2 asking me to come please fix my walls for me. I want to paint. Now up until this point we were supposed to take care of this when we came back to do the rest of the work or ROUND 2 as he called it. I tried calling him and left a message. Randy did not call back. Instead he sent me some pictures of the minor damage to the wall and a puddle of sealer on his basement floor. He also states that he wants to move onto the pergo floor in the kitchen too. Why would I put off another job?? I was booked solid and told him so. I tried calling Him on Friday during the day also, and he did not answer. Instead he sent me a text saying that he was swamped too and that he would have his wife call me. She never did.
At this point I want to add that I have phone records and text msg's saved to prove everything I am saying. He sent me a message that he would call me after 5 on Friday. AGAIN he did not call. This is where he flipped on me Monday October 8, he sends a text "Small claims court it is." And at this point I find out he is slandering my company reputation on Facebook, and this site, and probably others. When 4 days earlier he was anxious to have me do his kitchen floor, front foyer, and base boards.
All I needed was for Randy to answer one of my calls or call back when he said he was going to and We would've had a date set to do everything he wanted. I had never even gave him a price for some of the work yet. I guess he trusted me until I became too busy to jump at his command. This is my busy season. I would've scheduled him as soon as possible.
This entire statement is exactly what transpired between myself, Peter Dolan - Owner of Dolan Renovations and Randy ****, my customer.

Sunglasses and Cockroaches ? Six Rules for Surviving in a Bear Market
January 22, 2013
by Michael Skocpol
After all, even the stormiest conditions are supposed to take a turn for the better sooner or later, aren't they? Not if things have gotten bad enough, according to Tasker. "At some point, conditions improve. You see the fundamentals start to turn positive," he said. "And guess what? Nothing happens, because nobody is there. Nobody is watching. That is the most soul-destroying part."
That's in part because Japan's crash was so severe that it decimated broad swaths of its financial industry, Tasker said – jobs that have not returned. Tasker couldn't help ribbing his audience for the dire headlines in London, where he was speaking, reporting that financial jobs are down 6% since the 2008 crash. "Luxury!" Tasker joked.
Meanwhile, uncertainty abounds. Lack of growth in overall economy means "much greater profit volatility" and therefore more cost-cutting for Japanese companies. The kind of lifetime-with-a-single-company employment that Japan is known for "now applies to a very small segment of the Japanese workforce," Tasker noted, adding that more than a third of Japanese workers are now employed on significantly less secure part-time contracts.
All of which has meant shaken faith in the fundamental role of equity markets. Japanese households these days keep more than half their assets in cash or cash equivalents, Tasker noted. Companies keep "balance sheets stuffed with cash," which they are reluctant to bring to market. And Japanese investors find they rarely have anywhere to turn to eke out even meager returns, thanks to the disadvantages of investing in yen.
"Japanese pension funds have a required return of around 2% or 3% a year, and they have a great deal of difficulty in making it every year, because everything from the yen point of view looks terrible," Tasker said. "So it is not just Japan that is deflating. From the Japanese angle, the Japanese perspective, the entire world is deflating."
The name of the game is value
In such an environment, what works well is somewhat counterintuitive: In Tasker's experience, value investing the way to go.
Tasker said that his experience contradicts those who might argue that in a stagnant, risky marketplace, "more companies are going to go bust, are going to need restructuring, are going to need to issue more equity as you get into more financial difficulties," rendering value stocks a bad bet.
On the contrary, Tasker said, these stocks have greatly outperformed expectations, while safer-looking growth stocks have shown themselves to be much more vulnerable to the vagaries of a persistently sour economy.
"Bad markets are about surprise and they are about de-rating," he said. "What gets de-rated is the stuff that is highly rated. The stuff that is lowly rated has got that much less of a hurdle to jump and that much less potential to be de-rated."
By way of example, he recalled that in 2003, shortly after Japan experienced its second banking crisis in less than a decade, the press widely publicized a group of companies, dubbed the "Dirty 30," which were supposed to be on the verge of inevitable bankruptcies in the wake of the crisis. "A couple of those 30 companies did in fact go bust," Tasker said. "The remaining 27 or 28 quadrupled and quintupled stock prices."

You've heard of the cliché quarter-life and mid-life crisis. But I give you the modern day 30-year-old crisis that I continue to endure as a wake-up call to the way I choose to live.
I want to preface this by saying I can only speak for myself, and for the community I've identified with.
As a Los Angeles native, I was one of many young(ish) Korean-American, educated and ambitious career-driven women who wanted and thought… I could have it all.
As a Los Angeles native, I was one of many young(ish) Korean-American, educated and ambitious career-driven women who wanted and thought… I could have it all.
The "all" part was having and maintaining the checklist:
1. Career.
And not just any career, but a wildly successful one.
Successful = $$$
2. Education.
Today's Master's Degree is now so common (for a variety of reasons) that I saw no other choice than to get my Doctorate's.
Which I am still in the process of acquiring.
I won't get into how I feel about it.
I won't get into how I feel about it.
3. Family.
Somehow... with two crazy sisters, a tiger mom and that stoic ajusshi dad, figuring out how to live harmoniously only took about 30 years.
4. Relationship.
Not that having a significant other defines you, but you cannot deny how great it feels to have a partner in life who supports you and is your ride or die, your best friend, and lover.
5. Squad.
Although companionship is nice, there's nothing like your strong circle of girlfriends who you can go to and cry/laugh/moan and hysterically vent to without fear of being judged.
6. Health.
In Los Angeles, I should say it's not so much about being 'healthy' as it is about plainly... looking great.
Let's be honest.
I've skipped a few meals or two in order to trim down but I have also binged on animal style fries at 1 AM.
7. Hobbies.
Fashion, reading, shopping, blogging, eating.
Keeping up and staying current.
8. Party time.
Staying social and enjoying the night life of LA + Koreatown.
That is a commitment in itself - am I right?
9. Travel.
Okay. But like.. when?
10. Mental & Emotional Stability with Self.
Here's the big one that I never realized I kept off my list throughout my 20's.
And who knew, it would end up being the most important.
I'm not here to say I had an epic breakdown (although they do sound refreshing in theory - like when you have those great cries where you do that shuddering gaspy breath of air at the end).
No, instead, I feel I had a few mini-ones along the way in my late-20's as I tried desperately to 'have it all' by trying to keep all those plates spinning simultaneously and maintaining all facets of my life... except my self.
I can blame it on my parents, on my culture, on society and everyone else under the sun, but at the end of the day, I'm not looking to lay blame for the compilation of must-have's on that list up there.
Because the truth is, whatever led to me having that blind ambition to have everything, brought me to where I am today. And right now, post-crisis, I am simply grateful to be here and understanding that, rather than having all areas of my life kosher at all times, I simply need to focus (and no, it is not selfish) on me first.
If I'm not right, how do I expect any of that up there to be authentically and organically in a place I can be of genuine service to?
And as I age, some of those items have been crossed off entirely!
Nostalgia comes in waves and I do miss our rage nights and fitting into a certain size jeans.
But my crisis has brought a slow and steady halt to the anxiety-ridden fast-paced go-go-go lifestyle I've been working off fumes to maintain till now...
= = =
A few things happened in a random order that were strange quick thoughts and experiences I couldn't shake and now realize was part of the greater picture for my new way of living:
1. "You are not defined by your productivity."
I read that quote in passing somewhere and it struck me.
Not in a "oh wow~" fuzzy moment way.
But in a wtf kind of way.
What do you mean I'm not defined by my productivity?!
Do you know what I accomplish whilst hours pass by and I am churning out one thing after another?! It's gotta be worth something...... doesn't it?
2. "Who are you if we strip away your job, your title, your money, your status?"
And do you like who you are when you take that all away?
That question made me very uncomfortable.
And I heard that question for the first time last year too.
Goes to show how deep/often self-evaluation and reflection took place, yeah?
3. "What do you like to do in your free time?"
Funny enough- back when I was having my fun with online dating, that had to be the most dreaded question I fielded from potential dates.
Mainly because... I was forced to lie. Honestly, how interesting does it sound when I say I like to shop in my free time? I wish I had a better answer... like oh I love to write screenplays or I play beach volleyball or anything that would replace the truth that... I didn't really have 'free time.' I worked any chance I wasn't out, with friends/family, and/or shopping.
Free time made me uncomfortable.
Free time made me feel lazy.
What is this free time you keep asking me about!
4. Be the person you needed as a child.
A friend of mine had a great therapist who reiterated this.
As adults, we're just a mish mash of the mistakes our parents and adults we trusted made along the way.
We now have our complexes, our weird psyches and we often just throw a label on it and never do the work of healing and understanding.
Most people hide (in substances, in relationships, in anxiety and fear) and most people ignore (until a breakdown occurs which doesn't necessarily promise healing).
When I first heard this, I had a flashback of the tomboy I once was who used to love climbing trees and staying up there with a good book without a care in the world.
Where was that girl now?
Who have I become?
How do I stay true to that girl without compromising parts of who I am that I do love?
5. My flight to New York (Summer 2015)
How many of you have seen those uber hipster photos of a latte with a cat drawn in it next to a Kinfolk magazine?
Yeah, me too.
But I had to know... what was in this pastel colored magazine that everyone was so drawn to?
So I picked one up at a coffee shop in Larchmont and tucked it into my bag to read later (months later) when I had "free time" which equated to... a flight to go see my boyfriend where I had no wifi so I couldn't do any work or respond to emails. (sad!)
And it was necessary.
Because Kinfolk brought all of these pieces together in its introduction to me about the Art of Slow Living.
There are so many articles, stories, testimonials, books, and magazines that have taken up with the Art of Slow Living and run with it.
I would like to think every person who reads about it, reflects and decides it's for them can tweak it any way they would like to fit their chosen lifestyle.
For me, it wasn't an abrupt STOP sign telling me I've been living my life incorrectly.
I found my life fulfilling, I had my people, I loved them, I felt safe and loved in return, and I was/am running a business I am passionate about while in school learning more.
This isn't my testimony to stop and re-do life.
This is my way of simply of sharing that it was time to slow down.
It's time to figure out who I am without the label of what I do, what I make, who I'm friends with, dating or related to.
It's time to get comfortable with quiet.
And to enjoy doing nothing.
Because life isn't the hectic craze up there.
It's the present.
I don't know.. I wanted this to sound so beautiful and easy to understand.
But that too doesn't matter either.
I spent the majority of 2015 battling those I loved most as I tried my best to explain first- then when I realized it's hard to simply tell people with words you are completely re-prioritizing your life, it'd be easier then just to show them.
It was honestly a lonely year as I struggled to find a balance between these thoughts and not wanting to dump everything I had going and had worked so hard for.
But as I'm about one year into this slowed down version of life, I am more content than I've ever been without it equating to anything financially, egotistically or materialistically.
This is not a happy ending because it really only feels like it's just begun.
But it's a promising journey and it's worth slowing down to just be.
Just wanted to share.

300 scientists and legal experts: "No scientific consensus on GMO safety"
By Angelika Hilbeck, Rosa Binimelis, Nicolas Defarge, Ricarda Steinbrecher, András Székács, Fern Wickson, Michael Antoniou, Philip L Bereano, Ethel Ann Clark, Michael Hansen, Eva Novotny, Jack Heinemann, Hartmut Meyer, Vandana Shiva and Brian Wynne
February 18th, 2015
In yet another setback for the claims by Monsanto and other biotech giants that GMOs are safe, a group of 300 scientists and legal experts have recently found that there is no consensus on GMO safety, and that claims to the contrary are misleading. As one scientist who was originally involved in the creation of GMO tomatoes now puts it, to assume there is scientific consensus "is little more than wishful thinking." The following is the statement, which Grassroots International signed onto, from the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER).
"No scientific consensus on GMO safety" statement published in peer-reviewed journal
Seeds of Resistance in the Project of Life
Think of the seed as the first link of the food chain. If this prime component is compromised, the chain becomes untenable. What's more, if corporate interests control seeds, we are all subjugated to their agenda at every subsequent link of the chain. In fact, the preponderance of GMO and copyrighted seeds from agribusiness laboratories and mono-cropped fields already determine to a frightening degree the foods we can buy and eat. To counter these billion dollar agro-corporate interests, seed sovereignty activists have sought strength in their greatest resources — their knowledge and collective power.
Climate Smart Agriculture Isn't so Smart – Agroecology Is
We are writing to update you on crucial developments in advancing agroecology at the international level while strengthening opposition to the intentionally misleading "Climate Smart Agriculture" model being promoted by the World Bank, FAO, and newly launched corporate-dominated Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture.
As recognition of the legitimacy of agroecology grows, large-scale agribusiness is driving a concerted, pre-emptive effort to counter it. It is called Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA). But do not be fooled by this title. The model incentivizes destructive industrial agricultural practices by tying it to carbon market offsets based on unreliable and non-permanent emissions reduction protocols.
Mayan Peoples Movement Defeats Monsanto Law in Guatemala
By Carol Schachet
September 19th, 2014
Widespread protests and strategic organizing succeeded in defending Mayan lands and food sovereignty in Guatemala. This marks a major – and unprecedented – victory as the congress repealed the "Monsanto Law," preventing threatened exclusivity on patented seeds to a handful of transnational companies.
Brazilian Movement Stands Up to Hydroelectric Expansion
Although the damaging impacts of hydroelectric development are widely known, the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy reportedly plans to construct 168 new dams by 2021, including the massive Belo Monte Dam.
Dams, Human Rights and Community Resistance: Interview with leaders of MAB
Thousands of families throughout Brazil face threats to their homes and livelihoods from large hydroelectric dam projects. Driven by corporate profit interests, the number of mega dam projects in Brazil has increase significantly in recent years, displacing farming and indigenous communities, diverting water from local communities, and increasing deforestation and methane emissions.
The Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB), a Grassroots Partner, organizes among these communities. In this video Alexania Rossato and Josivaldo Alves de Oliveira of MAB talk about the challenges and successes of their work, about building sustainable grassroots movements, and the value of international solidarity.
Stolen Harvest: Occupation and Palestinian Olive Trees
Olives and olive oil are fundamental to Palestinian history, economy, subsistence, and culture. Olive trees symbolize Palestinian steadfastness and are deeply valued for their ability to thrive and send down deep roots in land where water is hard to come by. Many olive trees are thousands of years old and yet continue to produce olives. A worldwide symbol of peace, olive trees themselves have come under vicious attack by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
This fact sheet highlights the impact of the occupation, settlements and the Separation Wall on olive trees, olive harvests and Palestinian society, including:
The Contamination of Native Mexican Corn Varieties by GM Strains
This presentation was given during the final thematic hearing of the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal in Mexico on "Violence against Maize, Autonomy and Indigenous Peoples' Rights" in November, 2013. Gabriela Linares Sosa is a member of the Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO), a partner of Grassroots International and a leading indigenous voice in efforts to unmask the presence of genetically-modified (GM) corn in the Oaxacan countryside.
Monsanto Meets its Match in the Birthplace of Maize
On April 21, a Mexican judge dealt a blow to the efforts of agricultural behemoth Monsanto and other biotech companies to open the country to the commercial cultivation of genetically modified (GM) maize. The ruling upheld the injunction issued last October that put a halt to further testing or commercial planting of the crop, citing "the risk of imminent harm to the environment."
In a fitting tribute to Mexican surrealism, Monsanto had accused the judge who upheld the injunction of failing to be "impartial." I don't know if the presiding judge smiled when he denied Monsanto's complaint, but I did.
I had just arrived in Mexico to look at the GM controversy, and I could tell it was going to be quite a visit.
A Preliminary Report on Seeds & Seed Practices across the United States
For too many people and communities around the world, the dominant agricultural model is causing economic hardship, the destruction of biological diversity, and the exploitation of earth's ecological commons. It is a model based on the commodification of life. We can no longer continue the status quo that enables multi-national corporations to corner our food system and our seed commons. Every element that is foundational to life (food, water, land, air) is under threat of privatization and marketization by an economic order that seeks to profit and own our common wealth.

If I uncomment "float: right;" in the sidebar style, then it gets real weird.
Please take a look, and let me know if there's any more info I can give that would be helpful.

Grant Search Assistant I am shocked these people are still able to get away with this

I never received this free CD either. When I called the number to cancel, I also spoke with a person who had an Indian accent. Normally I would never think twice about a person's cultural heritage, but the similarities are striking. Just as reported in other complaints, the person I spoke with never answered the phone with the name of the company. He simply stated "Customer Service". Now, how many customer service centers have you called that never stated the name of their company?
After "canceling" my supposed membership and getting my cancel confirmation number, I thought I was through with my problems. Later, I started reading through the complaints filed on this web site. Particularly, I read a statement about how even with the cancel confirmation number, people were still being charged money for these services. I became extremely upset and called the "customer service" number again. Well, big surprise, I got the exact same "representative" who even remembered my voice. Now how many legitimate customer service representatives have ever recognized your voice? I have never experienced such a thing, and believe me I have logged in plenty of time on customer service calls.
It disgusts me that these people have been allowed to continue operating this little scam of theirs. I plan to cancel the credit card before they can keep billing more unauthorized "membership fees". The fact that they continue to get away with this type of outrageous activity is repulsive.
