SO CLOSE: Shiloh McVay consoles daughter, Destiny McVay, after Destiny barely missed a chance to compete at the state cross country meet in Kearney on Friday. Destiny crossed the line in 16th place during the C-4 district competition at Ogallala on Thursday. The top 15 individuals in each class, in addition to the top three teams, qualify for state. Shiloh competed on two Swede teams that made it to state in 1994 and 1995. See Sports for the details and more photos.

The company sends email from hacked accounts.
The video is slick, but the website contains no company name, address or customer service number.
The terms and conditions are difficult to read and understand.
The company gives high pressure sales techniques.
The company refuses to cancel an order. The company mis-states its return policy.
Upon receiving the item I called for a return authorization--it was a 30-day money back offer SUPPOSEDLY.
So the company does not live up to its terms concerning its offer.
The customer service representative was rude, condescending and pushy to the point of trying to reduce the original cost, and when that was refused he doubled the restocking fee (which is not prominently mentioned at the web site.)
This company puts the Dr. OZ enterprise under scrutiny, i.e. does Dr. Oz screen its endorsed products carefully?

Complaint Review: Ramada Plaza Resorts

Ramada Plaza Resort Vacations Promised a world-class vacation? Given a world-class hassle? Fort Lauderdale Florida

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I won't repeat here what you can find in dozens of accounts on the internet of how bad the Ramada Plaza Resort vacations are. The company is very missleading about the accomodations, the cruise, and the costs associated with the travel.
The accomodations for our Florida trip were to be in a run-down motel next to a busy freeway 25 minutes from the nearest beach. The cruise was going to be on a small rusty (seaworthy?) junket with undrinkable water, in a closet-sized room, and with numberous hidden charges. The overall vacation is advertised as comprehensive and included in one price, but we found there would be numerous additional charges for the vacation we were promised (they try to force you into "upgrade" packages).
I wrote a letter asking the company for a full refund and they didn't respond at all. You will find that the most difficult thing in dealing with Ramada Plaza is that they have numerous minimum-wage flunkies that answer the phones, will not give you their real names or titles, and they will never let you speak to a real manager or supervisor.
In my letter, I told Ramada Plaza I'd file suit if they didn't respond. So, I filed a lawsuit. I think for many people, this would be the most effective way to deal with the company. They do not seem to respond to any other communication.
I had a heck of a time ever getting a name of someone to serve with the legal complaint. When I finally did get through to a Gina Johns, she was actually very helpful. She told me a lawsuit wouldn't be necessary, and she had the company issue us a full refund.
Below are some addresses and names I think others may find helpful. I would like to say a few things first:
(1) No matter who you are talking to at the company, you need to be polite and professional (this includes the teleidiots in the Ramada Plaza call center).
(2) If you are looking for a refund just because you have changed your mind about the trip, you're probably out of luck. When you sign up for a vacation, it is a non-refundable contract. However, if you have evidence (as I did) of breach of contract and missrepresentation, the contract is void. Do your homework before you contact the company.
(3) Do not waste any time arguing with the low-level employees in the call center. They are working off of scripts and will talk you in circles. That's all they are paid to do all day. You won't win an argument with them. They are taping all of the calls and will possess the tapes. Not only can they make unfavorable conversations with a caller disappear, but they can edit the conversations if they want. They will also hang up at any point where they are losing ground. Get to the top of the company as soon as you can. If you can't get through, contact law enforcement in Florida (department of justice, attorney generals office, etc.) for assistance.
Overall, I think Ramada Plaza Resorts is a borderline criminal operation. I've bought a lot of things using 1-800 numbers and I've bought a lot of things through mail order, but I have never, ever encountered a company so shaddy in how it does things. This company actively tries to prevent you from being able to talk to professional employees capable of any real customer service. The best way to avoid problems with this company is to avoid business with them altogether. Tell your friends and co-workers.
Note: There appears to be a very high turnover at Ramada Plaza Resorts, so some of these names and numbers below may not work. But give them a try.
Gina Johns (paralegal and receptionist for Daniel Lambert, very friendly and helpful)

If you need to file a lawsuit, Gina Johns is the registered agent. Or, you could also have Daniel Lambert served.

If you are considering the possibility that you might be called to the Ordained Ministry – then the first step is to go and discuss this with your Rector.
If you and your Rector both agree that there might be a calling to discern – the next stage is for your Rector to recommend you to, and set up a discussion with, your local Diocesan Director of Ordinands (DDO).

Photos: Canelo Gives Josesito Vicious Beating at MGM
LAS VEGAS – Canelo Alvarez knocked down Josesito Lopez three times en route to a dominating fifth round technical knockout defense of his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship in front of a sold out crowd of 14,275 fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. on Saturday.
As promised leading into the blockbuster event, Golden Boy Promotions awarded a $100,000 bonus to the knockout of the night, decided via a text-to-vote competition that was promoted on SHOWTIME and inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. In a decision that thrilled his thousands of screaming fans inside the arena, Canelo was awarded the check for his thrilling performance.
Canelo will fight somebody like Angulo who is down hill or madaina then he will fight cotto in may and lose he's getting better but his opossition is horrible cotto will out class him just like Martinez beat the other…Comment by koolttt on 09-17-2012
Seriously Canelo needs to fight someone his own size sh[B]i[/B]t. Whoever thought Lopez had shot at this is delusional.Comment by Toltec77 on 09-17-2012

LOL at a bunch of folks thinking Martinez is now some glass-chinned KO waiting to happen. The dude was fighting a damn cruiserweight in there and still owned 'til he tried to make good on his promised pre-fight bravado. Maravilla…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (9)

After 5 days of working for CCA, including one day of training I wished I had fed my family Top Ramen. I could not believe the tactics used within this company. Bullying, lying, misdirection, baiting, and I'm not talking about just the customers, I'm talking about the employees too.
The first two days went well enough, I didn't actually speak with any customers, simply listened and observed. Then I got my own phone. Half of the people who called had never even read the letter accompanying the card! I was supposed to talk these mislead people into spending $200 dollars they probably didn't have and if I didn't hop to it, I was harrangued by four different people, none of which had more than three months experience in this job. I came home to my husband in tears, but sucked it up the next day and went back; I needed a paycheck.
So, I changed my tactics. Instead of following my script like an automaton, I clearly stated to the customers exactly what this card was (only good for CCA catalog)and asked if they read the letter, hoping this would serve as a deterrent. But no! Some people still wanted the card and all I could do was read my script and then pass them off to the supervisor who took their banking info.
But these weren't the only calls I would receive. Within my three days of answering the phone, 30% of my calls were scared, panicked people pleading with me for a way to reach the company and cancel the cards! I asked about the 800# and they all said it never worked. I suggested writing, but by this time their letters would never reach the company before their trial periods were up.
The last straw was an elderly woman who called, telling me the company had taken all of the money from her checking account and please, couldn't I do something to help her? But, of course I couldn't. Then I freaked out! I went to the supervisor and said I cannot do this job any longer! "Why not?" he asked. I said I felt completely immoral and went on to explain my complaint calls. "Those people are lying to you. They're all just a bunch of liars." he said, thinking this would convince me to stay. No way in hell was I staying in that sleaze infested building one second longer than I had to!
Now, months later, all I can do is feel terrible about the 14 people I had a part in signing up for this load of crap. All I wanted was a job so I could buy food, but I ended up neck-high in deceit and greed.
If you ever are so unlucky as to receive a First National Card in your mailbox, please, I implore you, burn it to a cinder and warn all of your friends and family!

I like the case and feel it was a good value for what I paid. I don't use the stand up option but it works as well....
ITEM#: 13967446This is a red with chrome stand snap on case for Apple iPhone 4/ 4S. Protect your cell phone against dust and scratches with this accessory case.
|Model Number
|Country of Origin
The first thing I noticed after I opened it, was that the front piece that snaps together with the back piece, is not chrome as it appears in the picture. The "stand" and circle around the apple logo are chrome on the back, but not the front. Case seems to fit nice and tight together, which is nice. There is a plastic finish on the case which has already began to chip/peel off and it has been on my phone for 2 weeks now.Read More
The case works great for protecting your phone, and it seems to be strong enough to prevent damage if the phone is dropped. The kick stand was very difficult to open, so I used my keys to pop it loose. The second or third time I tried to use the kick stand, it broke when I was opening it..... turns out, it's made of plastic. I'm still using the case, but I wish I still had the stand.Read More
I received the case on time, although i only paid 5$ for the case i did not expect it to arrive broken, it will cost more for me to ship the this back so i will just have to eat the 5$. DON'T BUY THIS OR ANYTHING OF THIS SAME BRAND DIFFERENT COLOR!!!Read More

Case looked great. Loved the color. But the little flip stand is flimsy plastic and broke the first time I used it. Forget this one.Read More
This is an amazing cover, the feel of its materials is so soft and it make the iphone stand out with a touch of elegance. For what I paid I feel like I got a lot more!Read More

AUTHOR: everydayredd - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 18, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, August 18, 2010
This is from my point of view working ther as a tech:
There are employees working on laptops in 95 degree weather, indoors (which causes major problems). Employees are allowed to bring lunches and drinks to their workbench and Ive seen the techs spill their drinks on the laptops, and try to cover it up. The tools they use are old, worn out and not properly working.
There are instances where the techs needed new thermal paste to put between the CPU processor and heatsink, only to find that the management never supply them, and i was told to use the old thermal paste that was already on the heatsink. what a joke.
There is dirt and dust all over the floors and on the tech benches as well. Also, they got stacks and rows of laptops in plastic bins laying all over the warehouse...that have not been looked at or diagnosed! Unprofessional work is what they are all about.
I am a A+ Certified Tech, and the employees that work there are NOT A+ Certified. There's a reason why all of the laptops come back for a re-work for the 4th, 5th and 6th time, because the employees that work there dont know what they are doing. There are times where ive seen technicians break lcd screens, front and rear panels, etc. just to open the laptop. When they put it back together, the screws are either missing, or put the wrong screw into the wrong hole and put dents on the laptops. Ive also seen technicians take a certain number of laptops,complete the paperwork, send it out to the customer not working, on purpose, just so that they can fill their quota for the day.
They also take used harddrives, cdrom drives, etc. put them in working laptops and charge the customers a lot of money, like they are brand new. For example, they take Harddrives from non working laptops, use certain programs to clean it (wipe out the data) and sell them as new harddrives!
They also take information from customers harddrives, and put it on their flash-drives they carry around.
The engineer department of this company is a disgrace. They do shoddy work at best and are overworked. They take logic boards from laptops and dont put them in anti-static bags and it takes them days (sometimes weeks) to give you back the logic board to complete the work. When you do receive it, 75 percent of the time, they either come back with the same problem, to not even working at all.
They got 2 managers who are in charge of Shipping and Receiving (not tech-related) and they try to tell you how to do your technical job or give out technical advise??? ridiculous.
Most of the employees that work there act like real snobs, from the front office to the warehouse. When you try to ask questions, management doesn't want to be bothered.
Who would want to work for a place like that? Not me, thats why i left. The bottom line is this: Do not use Micromedics to repair your laptop!!!!!

Illegal business at MicroMedics
AUTHOR: Ex Micromedics Manager - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, May 07, 2009POSTED: Thursday, May 07, 2009
Everything said before is true. MicroMedics pull illegal scams on their insurance companies like GE/Assurant, WACA, National Service Alliance and others in the past that are smart now and no longer do business with them anymore.
I was told to train techs, if there is ever a motherboard over a certain cost that the company would lose money, to make a fake liquid spill or a fake power surge. Even when I questioned them to make sure I heard the owner Matt and the warehouse manager at the time that I heard them correctly, they reassured me what they wanted to be done there.
This is the way they have done things since the first day I was employed with them. I am surprised the owner Matt Sheasby is not in jail.
Their catch phrase over there is, "Gut it like a fish!" What that refers to is if a high quote given to a warranty company, for one of these fake liquid spills or power surges and the company denied the repair, we were DEMANDED to take all the good parts that remained from that notebook and put bad ones in it's place.
Then MicroMedics has a stock of used parts that they later on charge the warranty company for using those stripped parts to repair another machine. When a warranty company denies the approval on a quote, MicroMedics still makes money on the repair, plus they are stealing good dvd burners, ac adapters, batteries, LCD's, inverters, RAM, CPU's. EVERY part in there and you name it, they will replace it with a bad one.
That company has been ripping people off for many years. One day they will get theirs...

The real story behind MicroMedics
AUTHOR: Lord Hexer - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, March 30, 2009POSTED: Monday, March 30, 2009
They are also a not a very good company to work for. They have been known on multiple occasions to either drive their best employees away(who went on to start their own companies), fire their best employees while keeping the mediocre ones. You are truly lucky to get your computer back in the condition you did knowing the shady stuff they have pulled over the years. Personally speaking I believe its only a matter of time until MicroMedics dies. Their owner Matt has embarked on some pretty crazy ideas like opening up satellite service centers with only a couple techs, like that will really make a difference. What I do know is they had multiple experienced people willing to go run those remote service centers but after they were basically going to screw those employees in the process of doing so, those employees decided to turn down the offer and most of them got fired BECAUSE they didn't go out. MicroMedics is an unethical company which is run probably worse than the state which its located in. Full of nepotism, the VP of the company is the owners cousin and the "CIO" is the brother of the VP.
The CIO of the company is also worthless. When he was hired, I will say the server room of the company wasn't in the best of shape but at least the rest of the network did work somewhat well, desipte a patchwork of systems. However he decided that he wanted to go with a wireless network for all the desktop computers. Remember when I said that this is basically a warehouse, which made it easy to run wires, no ceiling tiles no impossible pathways to feed wires through or anything, just a vast open space. But anyways he decided to take the hacked together but working wired network and convert all the desktops to wireless. What happened after that is the wireless network had poor reliability and for some reason the techs had to connect to the servers that they use for their work order tracking over the internet, because the CIO in his infinite wisdom decided to have 2 internet connections, one for the servers and the office personnel, and one for the techs. Unfortunately there was a bottleneck which made connecting to the server almost impossible at times due to slowness of one of the network connections.
In summary MicroMedics could be a great company, but its run by people with no real business sense, and who's owner is more concerned about signing a "pro" golfer to try to get a PGA tour card instead of doing his job, and doing stuff like employee reviews, or even seeing how his own business operates. And with the rest of his "management" or should i say manglement team its no wonder things are bad over there. No one knows what they are doing, the techs want to do good work but because of the incompetence in the management of the company things just keep getting worse and worse. I am sorry you had to suffer through your whole ordeal with MicroMedics, and honestly I know of employees there who won't even send their own computers there to get serviced on, thats how bad it is. Hopefully GE/Assurant will still honor your warranty now that Circuit City is gone but if they do you will probably have to suffer through another experience with MicroMedics.
Of course if you ask the MicroMedics "Management" Team about any of the above they will deny it calling it lies by a former employee, but isn't that in itself more proof that the above is true?

On April 17, 2009, my credit card was charged with $15.95 CAD to "Privacy Protection". I called the phone number. They apologized for any misunderstanding and said they would immediately cancel my membership. When I requested my credit card be credited with the $15.95, they said I signed up for it.
This is a slimey business practice. Most likely, somewhere on the page where I was accepting my 'free gift', it listed an Agreement, which I would have agreed to. My fault that I didn't read it. It would have stated that I was signing up for a membership.
This shady practice should not be allowed. It should have been very clear on the main page that I was accepting this free gift AND by doing so, I was signing up for a membership. Buyer beware but I'm thoroughly frustrated that they can take advantage of people like this. Stick a free gift in front of them and anybody will buy in! I am sure they are not the only company doing this kind of business but if they are ever looking to change their name, try 'Piracy Plus'.

Everything was perfect. The Apartment is pretty and clean. Xavier is very kind and we thank him for our great vacation!
This apartment is situated right in the center of Alicante. It was clean and very spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and a nice bathroom with hairdryer. Opposite of the apartment was a very good Supermercado. WiFi works great. The owner was very kind and helpful.
This appartment is situated right in the centre of Alicante. Very convinient for at city holiday. Yhe appartment was very clean and cosy and very spacious with an ok kitchen and a nice bathroom. The ownwer of the palce was vey kind and helpful.
Una bella vacanza ad Alicante! L'appartamento è molto spazioso per 2 persone, comodo e curato. Fornito di tutti i servizi che ci si aspetta. In posizione ottimale per visitare la città, con la fermata dei bus interni a 2 minuti e fermata del bus per l'aeroporto a 5 minuti a piedi, così come la fermata del tram. Comodissimo e conveniente il supermercato proprio di fronte.
Xavier molto gentile, simpatico e disponibile.
Sicuramente da consigliare!
Bekväm lägenhet där man hittar allt man behöver. En liten besvikelse att den lilla balkongen vette in mot en mörk nisch, annars allt helt ok. Trevlig kontakt med värden och hans brorsdotter som tog emot i lägenheten.
preciosa casa en el centro de Alicante, inmejorable anfitrion , atento a todas las necesidades¡¡¡ Decoracion acojedora, limpio y muy tranquilo para el sitio dende esta...repetiremos experinecia siempre y cuando podamos¡¡un saludo Xabier desde el norte¡¡¡
Hatten es gemütlich mit viel Freiraum. Es fehlte an nichts und die Übergabe klappte problemlos. Wir würden gerne wieder kommen.
wir haben die FW vom 10.05. - 15.05.2014 gemietet. Die Lage der Wohnung
ist sehr zentral. Kurze Wege zum Strand, zur Altstadt, zum Mercado.
Gegenüber der Wohnung befindet sich ein Supermarkt, abends ab 21.30
werden dann Lebensmittel abgeladen, was die Ruhe etwas stört. Allerdings
sind die Fenster und Türen gut isoliert. Alles in allem waren wir mit der Wohnung

Our 1st encounter with Wimdu has pleased us very well. We had a good time in the apartment of Xavier. Our host was very friendly and welcoming. Xavier's apartment was fully equipped and is very centrally located in Valencia. The description and the pictures were true the truth. Close to the subway which you're half an hour at the airport and near the Plaza del Ayuntamiento where you can take on the bus. The central location of the apartment you are also close to El Carmen where you can walk along te streets. Our friendly host left after a few day's and he left due to work. We had a good time in this apartment and will remember it for next time.'
Hans en Antoinet
Great host, great appartment.
During our stay Xavier was not there all the time wich gave the feeling of a private house.
Location was superb, central and easy to acces with, metro or bus.
Mercato central nearby as well as all the restaurants and shops.
Miss it already........;-)

31 Things That Defined the Summer of 1989
Originally posted 07/11/2014 04:55PM
Despite what Public Enemy may have said, 1989 wasn't just "another summer". Though history is rarely that neat, the final summer of the '80s saw the slow fade of many of the decade's icons, as well as the launch of some of the '90s' most enduring pop-culture institutions.
In terms of cultural legacy, the summer of '89 might not be able to compete with its predecessor of two decades prior – Woodstock and Bryan Adams will do that – but 25 years later, we're still feeling its impact.
Whether you remember it or not, relive the summer of acid wash, hair metal and Do the Right Thing below.

The corporate structure is so complex that cash flow between subsidaries and the parent compnay may be restricted. If that is the case, it would be difficult for the parent issuer to obtain funds to pay dividends.
You said it best.
I was basically going to post the same thing.
The volume over the last 5 days was:
So the heaviest trading day in cash value was 21,300 x $4.37(approx)=$94K
So when you think how little cash can move a thinly traded stock, you have to sit back and not worry about every little move. That is for a large cap stock where pennies traded could mean millions, or define a trend.
These obscure stocks like APWC are always highly volatile. You have to make a decision on whether or not to invest, and then change your position based on hard facts, not by watching the daily stock swings.
I see no evidence from any news stories or posts that anything has changed with APWC, so don't expect it to be a quick payoff like going to Las Vegas. This is a long term play.
This could just as well have been due to some day traders dumping their positions after the NASDAQ news, and moving on to other things. Or just reducing their overall portfolios for the summer vacation. This seems to happen with a lot of stocks right as we head into the summer every year.
Company involvement would definitely help. Value is relative only to how much the market is willing to pay. So, I hope they notice our 'undervaluedness' soon.
I really get the feeling the market is wanting to correct. Don't want to be at $4 when that happens.
Could be wrong, hope I am.
This has become a classic Ben Graham value stock. The 51% stake in the publicly traded Thailand subsidiary is worth more than APWC in total. And that subsidiary only contributes about 1/3 of the revenue.
There is no volume, the price going down has been caused by a couple of guys selling a few shares. The company needs to bring more visibility to the stock. Alternatively, they should start buying backs hares.
you have a good feel and understanding with this company.
what are the issues here keeping it down in share price?
what does the company have to do to get the story out?
when will the next set of financials be released?
Yeah this is getting ridiculous. Value means not much anymore. Thought Nasdaq would increase interest, it has, but the wrong kind.
I really hope we don't get a market correction- who knows what this would trade down to then.
Maybe people don't understand stock value?
if you bothered to listen to the conference call and review the income and balance sheet i do not think that you opinion would be the one that present! It is only complicated because you have not bothered to read about the company- i assume that you will not read the date- so from the call their have been discussions about issuing a dividend. again first q should be out within a few weeks and growth and earning picture will remain the same- onward and upward
I doubt it that the company could pay dividends in the near future. The earning quality for 2010 is poor based on its 2010 audited FSs. It had negative operating cashflows and investing cashflows.
On the subject of corporate structure...does anyone know if APWC has any significant related party customers, suppliers or financial arrangements?
