Today at the NRF (National Retail Federation) 102nd Annual Convention & EXPO, Epson America, Inc., a leading supplier of value-added Point of Service (POS) solutions, and AppCard Inc., developer of a next-generation customer loyalty platform, announced the availability of the AppCard customer loyalty service with Epson's OmniLink™ smart POS solutions family. OmniLink combines an Epson industry-leading POS printer with PC functionality to deliver cloud-based services, open platform mobility and flexible web based printing from any mobile device. Paired with Epson's OmniLink, AppCard provides a powerful, effective cloud-based customer loyalty platform that involves no integration with the POS and requires only a minimal setup time – at a lower cost than traditional loyalty programs on the market today.
"We've been a happy AppCard customer for six months, and we already see the benefits," explained Zvika Cohen, the owner of Basics Plus. "We're looking forward to migrating to the AppCard solution with OmniLink to access even more customer data faster, with reliable connectivity and more mobility. We see this solution as bringing us closer to our customers and helping us understand their preferences better so that we can personalize our offers accordingly."
Epson's OmniLink solutions provide the data gateway that enables the delivery of cloud-based services via Ethernet or WiFi connectivity. Because the AppCard application resides on the OmniLink printer outside the POS system, retailers gain the benefits of rapid deployment with no need for POS integration. AppCard's cloud-based loyalty platform provides real-time reports, deep analytics, and business intelligence that enable merchants to engage each customer with personalized offers that enhance loyalty and drive repeat business. Through the AppCard smartphone app or Web account, shoppers receive personalized offers, earn rewards and free gifts, and get live digital receipts.
"Retailers need innovative ways to engage customers and foster loyalty, and the OmniLink solution with AppCard delivers," commented Gregg Brunnick, Director of Marketing for Epson's Business Systems Division. "With minimal development time, retailers can have mobile loyalty programs up and running."
"OmniLink is a powerful vehicle for deploying the AppCard loyalty platform at the POS," said Yair Goldfinger, CEO and Co-founder of AppCard. "The combination of AppCard's solution with Epson's OmniLink provides large and small retailers with an integration-free way to implement a loyalty program that enhances the shopping experience and increases customer retention."
The AppCard solution with OmniLink has been installed at selected customer sites, and will be available in the first quarter of 2013 through AppCard's designated partners (www.appcard.com).

Led by its underappreciated pharmaceutical division, the giant health-care conglomerate may be poised to deliver mid-single-digit revenue growth and high-single-digit profit growth in the coming years after a forgettable multiyear stretch marred by persistent factory problems in its consumer division and a $2.9 billion charge related to the recall of artificial hips.
With its missteps, J&J (ticker: JNJ) managed to alienate the normally patient Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) has sold nearly all of its investment in the company. Berkshire's holding stood at just 492,000 shares at the end of the third quarter, down from 31.4 million shares at the end of 2011 and 45 million a year earlier. The company "obviously messed up in a lot of ways in the last few years," Buffett told CNBC earlier this year, marking a rare corporate critique by the Berkshire CEO.
J&J insider Alex Gorsky became CEO in April after the retirement of William Weldon. So far, he's done little to shake up the company's conservative ways. David Maxwell/Bloomberg News
While Berkshire was selling, Wall Street started warming to the J&J story. Its shares have risen to about $70 from a June low of $62. There could be further upside in the next year, to $80 or higher, assuming the company is able to build on the momentum shown in the third quarter, when organic, currency-adjusted revenue growth of 5% was its best showing in five years. The stock has disappointed for a decade, having traded at $65 in 2002.
"Revenue growth is improving in all three businesses. That leads to the potential upside for earnings per share," says Barclays analyst C. Anthony Butler, who has called J&J "the misunderstood giant." He carries an Overweight rating and an $85 price target. J&J's three businesses are pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics, and consumer.
As the table nearby shows, Butler has set an optimistic sum-of the-parts value of $85 on three divisions based on projected 2013 earnings. His 2013 estimate of $5.75 a share is above the consensus of $5.49 a share. His low-end, sum-of-the-parts valuation is $68, suggesting limited downside. This year's operating profits are expected to total $5.05 to $5.10 a share. The company is valued at $195 billion, making it the largest publicly traded health-care company in the world.
"If you look at J&J like a bond, it's very attractive," says David King, lead manager of the Columbia Flexible Capital Income Fund. "The dividend yield is much higher than J&J's 10-year-bond yield." J&J's dividend is now 3.4%, versus a roughly 2% yield on its 10-year debt.
The dividend has grown at an 8% annual rate for the past five years and could rise at a similar pace in the next few years, making the stock like a bond with a rising interest rate. There obviously is no guarantee that J&J will maintain or continue to raise its dividend, but, as King notes, the company has a widely diversified business mix, limited economic sensitivity, and a 50-year history of dividend increases.
J&J trades for 13 times projected 2013 earnings, and is in line with most major drug stocks, as J&J has lost its historic premium to the sector.

Detractors say J&J is a stodgy, slow-growth company that now lacks its former innovative edge, and is run by an overly conservative management team that allowed a series of costly and embarrassing quality problems to occur on its watch.
J&J'S CONSUMER DIVISION,which includes Tylenol, Sudafed, Band-Aid, Listerine, and Johnson's baby products, has had 25 product recalls in the past few years, and one of its three North American plants, in Fort Washington, Pa., has been shut since 2010. That plant and two others in North America operate under a federal consent decree, as J&J seeks to satisfy regulators that its manufacturing processes are being fixed. The factory problems have led to shortages of products like children's liquid Tylenol.
J&J hasn't said when it expects the factory situation to be fully resolved and its production back to normal, but CFO Dominic Caruso said on the company's conference call in October that J&J continues "to make progress" and that more products are returning to store shelves. Barclays' Butler is assuming 5% sales growth in the division next year as product availability increases.
J&J's medical devices and diagnostics division makes a wide variety of products, including artificial knees and hips, spinal implants, Acuvue contact lenses, and many types of surgical supplies. But the division required J&J to take a $2.9 billion charge in the fourth quarter of last year to deal with lawsuits and other expenses stemming from recalled metal artificial hips made by its DePuy subsidiary that were prone to shredding following implants.
J&J also saw its former top position in coronary stents slip away, and it essentially abandoned that business, in which rival Abbott Laboratories now holds a leading position.
MANAGEMENT, WHICH DECLINED to speak to Barron's, citing a "quiet" period before quarter-end, probably would plead guilty to conservatism. It emphasizes the dividend over share repurchases and views J&J's Triple-A credit rating as a major asset. That Triple-A is one of the few left among major American companies; the other three are held by ExxonMobil xom -0.3068530514831231% Exxon Mobil Corp.

J&J has a great balance sheet with $2.9 billion of net cash on Sept. 30.
It also prefers acquisitions to share repurchases, having bought more than 50 companies in the past decade. In one of its largest deals, J&J paid $17 billion, net of cash, or about 20 times earnings, in June for Synthes, a Swiss medical-products company. That deal wasn't outrageously priced, but many investors would have preferred to see that money go for stock buybacks.
J&J also refuses to follow the industry breakup trend, which will play out in a big way at year-end with the split of Abbott Labs into two entities, one focused on medical and nutritional products like vascular stents and infant formula, and the other on branded drugs.
All this hasn't sat well with institutional investors, who generally avoid J&J stock. It's telling that J&J's three largest holders are index funds. So strong is the view that J&J shares have little upside that hedge funds often short J&J against long positions in other health-care stocks in so-called pair trades. The aversion to J&J could turn into a positive because institutional investors are underweighted in the stock relative to benchmarks and might scramble to buy it if the company's earnings growth accelerates.
On the Street, Goldman Sachs analyst Jami Rubin made the case for a breakup earlier this year, arguing that "evidence is building across health care that smaller, more focused companies can perform better than their diversified peers."
Others have argued that it's foolish for J&J not to take advantage of the current rate environment to issue debt to buy back stock. These investors point to Amgen's amgn 0.028677946659019213% Amgen Inc.

There was some thought that J&J's new CEO, Alex Gorsky, who succeeded William Weldon in April, might shift policies, but Gorsky, a company insider and former Army captain, has made no big moves. Replying to a question from Rubin on J&J's third-quarter conference call in October, J&J's CFO Caruso said, "We feel very good about having a broad-based business in health care. We think that's the way to be positioned for where health care is going globally."
All three divisions seem to be clicking. J&J's drug unit saw an 11.3% rise in third-quarter sales, its strongest showing in eight years. The company's broad portfolio is led by Remicade, which targets autoimmune disorders like Crohn's disease and is expected to generate $6 billion in sales this year. Key areas include cancer, immunology, and infectious diseases like HIV. J&J's patent expirations are largely behind it, allowing newer drugs to make a difference.
The Bottom Line
With a strong and growing dividend, a Triple-A credit rating, and revenue and earnings on the upswing, Johnson & Johnson's shares could rise 15% to 20% over the next year.
One of its most successful new launches is Zytiga, a leading drug for advanced prostate cancer that could approach $1 billion in sales this year. J&J's drug division amounts to a large biotech company, with complex, differentiated drugs that are tougher to copy.
Even with its missteps and stodgy management, J&J may be on the brink of an extended period of nice earnings growth. The situation could get even better if the new CEO ever reverses the company's objection to a breakup and sizable share buybacks. Long one of the stock market's great defensive stocks, J&J could emerge as an offensive star.

A preliminary meeting of the newly formed Rescue Animals Community Effort (RACE) is set for 6:30 p.m. next Thursday, Aug. 5, at Ocean Isle Beach Town Hall, 3 W. Third St.
Cheri McLain, who is in the process of obtaining nonprofit status for the fledgling animal group, is hoping RACE can work with Brunswick County Animal Services in managing the county animal shelter on Green Swamp Road.
Discussions about fire station design, the pontoon bridge-tender house and parking committee membership are on the agenda of Sunset Beach Town Council's monthly meeting next Monday night, Aug. 2.
Council will also consider a resolution to alter distribution of Alcoholic Beverage Control revenue.
The 7 p.m. meeting will be preceded by a 6:45 p.m. work session to review the draft agenda and for general council discussions.
SUNSET BEACH—Margaret McCarrel is trying to fight city hall about property rights.
McCarrel claims a town road is improperly infringing on a lot she bought five years ago at the corner of Canal Avenue and Shoreline Drive West, and she wants the town to make amends for it.
"The lot was supposed to be .42 of an acre—18,400 square feet," said McCarrel, referring to the undeveloped lot.
A "Bring Brody and Nathan Home" golf tournament to help raise legal funds for Ash mom Amy Smith has been scheduled for 1-7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 15, at Leopard's Chase Golf Links at Ocean Ridge Plantation.
Needed are 36 four-man or woman teams, 144 players. The cost is $75 per player, which includes golf, golf cart, range balls and food. Hole sponsors are also needed.
Scattered, slow-moving thunderstorms are likely in Brunswick County through this afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service.
The storms could produce gusty winds, frequent lightning and reduced visibility during heavy rainfalls.
The storms have the capability to produce small hail as well as wind gusts up to 40 mph. Localized flooding is also possible.
OAK ISLAND—After more than a decade of seeking funds, planning and designing, the former Brunswick County Airport has received additional runway space and has transformed itself into an executive-jet-worthy destination.
Now, the newly christened Cape Fear Jet Port, near the base of the Oak Island Bridge, has a 5,505-foot runway, allowing for charter aircrafts, executive jets and, eventually, aircraft bringing in supplies during emergencies such as severe hurricanes.
BOLIVIA—Legal advisers for the Brunswick County Board of Education say schools cannot opt out of recent state-mandated reproductive health and safety education curriculum, despite the wishes of several board members.
Last month, board members Catherine Cooke and Shirley Babson wanted the board to pass a policy requiring parents to opt in if they wanted their middle school children to take part of the state-mandated curriculum, which will be added at the start of the 2010-2011 school year.
The chairman of the N.C. State Ports Authority says the N.C. International Terminal project planned for the Southport area cannot go forward as long as the state legislature and the area's representative in Congress are against it.
That's the main reason the authority announced last week the project has been placed "on hold," board of directors chairman Carl Stewart said.
LELAND—Dale Ward and his father, Lloyd, have "day jobs" as owners and operators of Affordable Towing here in their hometown, but their passion is restoring old tractors.
In their neighborhood off Lanvale Road, the Ward family has several tractors in various states of repair, including a nearly complete 1951 John Deere, which will soon be ready to make the rounds at tractor shows.
More than $22 million in federal funds have been appropriated for beaches and inlets in southeastern North Carolina, as well as the Intracoastal Waterway and the Wilmington Port.
"Our coast is the lifeline for economic growth in our region," U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre said in a press release. "Federal support is critical to enhancing and protecting the economic and environmental treasure of our coast."

I can tell you yes I have taken out online cash advances but never from USA Cash advance because of the same thing when you go to USAcashadvance.com and read the disclaimers it sounds like a scam so i did not continue. The individuals akas are usually mark taylor, officer robinson, john smith, austin white and on a side note have very strong accents of Arabian descent, I am not racist but an Arabian with American first and last names are very suspicious. Its like me a Hispanic not having a first or last name of Hispanic origin!
These individuals go on and on about how if you don't corporate you will be sent to jail, that you will loose your job all sorts of ridiculous collection practices I work for a credit union as a collector myself and I know the correct procedures for collecting. One of these individuals told me he had all my banking info on file when I asked to verify the last four of my bank routing number and account number these individuals told me that they could not as it was against the law I then proceeded by telling them this is not true I process payments all day and routing numbers are unique to an individual bank so it is not a number that is private, to verify the last four digits is not going to compromise any information as its only the last four digits furthermore when collecting a letter of attempt to collect must first be sent out, when I asked for a legal letter for attempt to collect I was told I must make arrangements or make payment first in order to receive.
This is also a false statement when collecting. It is scary that these individuals are allowed to roam around stealing peoples information and not be prosecuted as a matter a fact I have learned these individuals use magic jack to reroute their numbers as magic jack is a company that sells an equipment that attaches to a computer with internet access with a local telephone number and makes calls anywhere in the U.S this device can be attached to any computer around the world as long as it has internet connection this company doesn't check on the individual who is purchasing the item? This company must be held responsible as well as they make it easy for individuals like these to create scams.
In conclusion if anyone calls you or sends you email stating that you will go to jail for not making payment on a loan or that they will send documents once you make a payment do not fall for it, as it is a SCAM!!

After warning the whse and accounting about this I received a call from a Michelle, it seems that the address they had was off and they needed more information. I asked Michelle what was the name of her company. She hung up. Today I got a call again from Amy @ Ricoh. I explained about Michelle and asked her what was the company that she works for, she stated Interstate Distribution Center. I said but you stated you worked for Ricoh so in effect you were committing fraud. She asked if I still wanted the order, I said no thank you and for her to check the RipOff report.
Though we did not get scammed it was sure close!

I recently worked for a office that was connected to IDCSERVCO called Elite Office Supplies, Tammi Williams was the office manager at this office which is located in Glendora, ca at 620 s. Glendora Ave suite A. Tammi's boss is glen diamond III. Monday-Friday from 7am-1pm, Tammi along with myself and 9 other women called pages upon pages of companies trying to con them on purchasing toner from us, I had no idea this was a scam until I was talking with the girls in the office and they told me what was really going on and to check out ripoff report. I did and I was disgusted with what I had read and as of the 5th of march, 2014 I was fired because of my production, after I had read all the reports about this company I couldn't call and do that to the companies which of course were all out of state. I will do what ever I can to try and shut down this company. I doubt it will be successful seeing how they will change their name and location but atleast I hopefully get their names out. By the way glen goes by the name of Rick

A little while ago I asked what would you do with double the printing capacity of a 3D printer.
Here's a better question, what would you do with more than a 100 times the printing capacity? Nophead, author of the excellent HydraRaptor blog, recently announced he printed 101 full sets of RepRap Mendel plastic parts over the course of the last year. He's essentially also answered an interesting practical question – how fast can a RepRap 3D printer replicate plastic parts under human supervision? 1 While he used his CNC mill with a printer head, HydraRaptor, this hardly diminishes the accomplishment. Printing that many sets of parts takes a lot of dedication and time.
Now that we've thought about what is possible with two 3D printers, Nophead's achievement raises so many new and wonderful questions:

Blue painter's tape is a lot more useful than it first appears. 1 When you think about tape, it's tempting to assume something like duct tape is the most useful kind – because it is super sticky and super strong. However, these aren't always desirable characteristics. Suppose you need tape that will stand out against a drab background? Or that will come off cleanly? Or won't be too sticky?
Or you've got a Thing-O-Matic or Cupcake CNC MakerBot 3D Printer. Blue tape is a great surface for printing with PLA and can be very useful when printing on an automated build platform with ABS (but not on our MakerBot Replicator 3rd Generation and MakerBot Replicator 2X 4th Generation models). It is cheap, easily replaced, and has a slight texture that lets hot sticky plastic grip well. If you're having problems getting a raft or print to stick, definitely give it a shot!

Executive Summary: On July 22, 2013 a former nurse asked the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a circuit split, which she claims the Sixth Circuit created when it found that the nurse's admitted failure to follow the hospital's procedures for logging interrupted meal breaks and correcting payroll errors precluded her from seeking damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Facts of the Case
Plaintiff Margaret White worked as a nurse in the defendant hospital's emergency department for two years. Upon her hire, the hospital provided White with an employee handbook stating that employees working shifts of six or more hours receive an unpaid meal break that is automatically deducted from their paychecks. The handbook further stated that, if an employee's meal break was missed or interrupted due to work-related reasons, the employee would be compensated for the time worked during the meal break. The hospital instructed employees to record all time spent working during meal breaks in an exception log. White signed a document stating that she understood the meal break policy.
White recorded in the exception log occasions when her meal break was partially or entirely interrupted. White conceded that, when she reported missing a meal break that her entire nurse unit missed as well, the hospital compensated her for her time. White claimed that there were occasions when she individually missed meal breaks but was not compensated, though she conceded that she was compensated for at least one occasion when she individually missed a meal break. From time to time, she told her supervisors and the human resources department that she was not getting a meal break. However, she never told her supervisors or the human resources department that she was not compensated for missing her meal breaks. Eventually she stopped reporting her missed meal breaks in the exception log, contrary to the hospital's instructions. White admittedly did not remember and had no records of when her meal breaks were interrupted and the hospital failed to compensate her.
White admittedly knew the hospital's procedure to report and correct payroll errors. If an error occurred, she could report the mistake to a nurse manager who would resolve the issue. White conceded that when she used this procedure, the errors were handled immediately. However, White did not utilize this procedure to correct the interrupted meal break errors that she failed to report because she felt it would be "an uphill battle." White sued the hospital alleging FLSA violations and moved for conditional class certification, which the district court granted in part and denied in part. The district court ultimately granted the hospital summary judgment on White's claims, and it also granted the hospital's motion for decertification.
Sixth Circuit's Decision and White's Appeal
In its November 2012 opinion, the Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision in favor of the hospital. The Sixth Circuit noted that the issue was whether the hospital knew or had reason to know it was not compensating White for working during her meal breaks. In short, the Sixth Circuit found that there was no way the hospital should have known White was not being compensated for her missed meal breaks, because White admittedly did not follow the hospital's procedures for being compensated for interrupted meal breaks. In addition, each time White followed the hospital's procedures for being compensated for interrupted meal breaks or for payroll errors, White was compensated. The Sixth Circuit concluded that, without evidence the hospital prevented White from utilizing the system to report either entirely or partially missed meal breaks, White could not recover damages from the hospital under the FLSA.
In discussing its decision, the Sixth Circuit cited overtime cases from the Eighth and Fifth Circuits finding that employers merely having access to records indicating employees were working overtime did not constitute constructive knowledge that the employees were working overtime, particularly when the employer had specific procedures for the employees to follow in order to be paid overtime and the employees ignored those instructions. The Court also noted a Ninth Circuit opinion holding that "where an employer has no knowledge that an employee is engaging in overtime work and that employee fails to notify the employer or deliberately prevents the employer from acquiring knowledge of the overtime work, the employer's failure to pay for the overtime hours is not a violation of [the FLSA]." In finding that White's failure to abide by the hospital's timekeeping and payroll error procedures precluded her from seeking damages under the FLSA, Sixth Circuit favorably cited an Eighth Circuit decision ruling that "[t]he FLSA's standard for constructive knowledge in the overtime context is whether the [employer] 'should have known,' not whether it could have known." (Emphasis added).
On July 22, 2013 White filed a petition for certiorari asking the U.S. Supreme Court to resolve a circuit split on this issue of meal breaks and timekeeping. According to White, the Sixth Circuit's decision created a conflict with other circuits that have found that employers cannot avoid liability under the FLSA by delegating record keeping to its employees. In support of her petition, White cites cases from the Second, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits as well as cases from the U.S. Supreme Court. Contrary to the Sixth Circuit's ruling and those cited in its opinion, White claims that the employer has a duty to investigate and to pay employees for time actually worked if the employer has reason to suspect that an employee is working overtime.
Employer's Bottom Line: Employers should establish and clearly communicate policies setting forth the procedures employees should follow in recording their time, seeking compensation for overtime and missed meal breaks, and bringing payroll errors to their employers' attention. We will continue to keep you updated on this developing issue.

Kirk Wwrote a review of Mammut Lithium Guide 25 Backpack - 1525cu in on April 20, 2016
Didn't Quite Meet My Needs
Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I was looking for a versatile extended day pack and was excited when I saw this offering. I've always favored Mammut packs due to their fit and performance. As usual for Mammut, the Lithium Guide is well made and has a quality feel to it. Unfortunately, this one didn't fit my needs for the following reasons:
1. The pack is hydration compatible in that it has a tube exit port, but there is no internal bladder sleeve. Rather, a bladder is supported by an internal horizontal strap. While this might work, I prefer to have my bladder in a sleeve.
2. The lid is fixed rather than floating, limiting volume versatility.
3. I'm surprised this pack has only one tool loop rather than two, counter to Mammut's alpine roots.
This pack may work great for others, but the above made it too limiting to be a keeper for me – particularly at this price point.

Nice Family Owned Restaurant10/04/2011
We have been coming to LasMas (our family nick name for the place) for about 10 years off and on. Even if it's been months since we've been in this one guy server, and shame on me for not remember his name right now, calls out to us to say hi and ask how we've been. The whole staff is so nice. I will admit that the serve time is longer than some of the more comercialized places like Gallos, etc., but the atmosphere is so much better it's worth it. On to the food, they serve Mexican and Italian. I know, what an odd combo but trust me they nail the italian too. When we dine there I almost always get fajitas and my husbank LOVES their chicken alfredo. He claims it's some of the best in Anchorage. The kids love the little mini pizzas. The best thing about Las Margaritas is...THE MARGARITAS. They are made fresh and are amazing. The Herradura (sp?) Margarita on the rocks sets the bar in my opinion!
Best Margaritas in Anchorage05/19/2005
Every time I fly into Anchorage my first stop is at Las Margaritas for a 'Ray' (margarita on the rocks with Herradura float) and to talk with Marco behind the bar. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere very much like visiting a friends house. This is a great place for drinks or dinner any time. I highly recommend.

Difficult Conversations Series Returns Nov. 6
October 18, 2013
MACOMB, IL— Western Illinois University's Difficult Conversations (also known as DifCons) series will provide discussion about WIU's demographics change to reflect the increasing diversity throughout the country. The conversation, the second in this year's series, will take place Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the Multicultural Center.
The conversation will include how interactions with friends, peers and colleagues can create tension when students, faculty and staff do not share the same cultural experiences, values or expectations. An example of this would be the difference in urban and rural living experience among students at WIU.
The November conversation will look at both sides of tension when it comes to the urban/rural divide. After introductions by Barry McCrary, assistant professor in the WIU Department of Law Enforcement and Justice Administration and Aimee Shouse, chair of the WIU Department of Women's Studies, participants will be working in small groups to discuss their own experiences with differences on campus when it comes to the rural and urban cultures.
There will be a companion discussion held on Feb. 5 that will focus more on the urban/rural divide off of the WIU campus. All WIU students, faculty and staff are welcome to attend both discussions.
The discussions are organized by the Expanding Cultural Diversity Project and are co-sponsored by the Office of Student Activities, the University Diversity Council, and the Center for Innovative Teaching and Research.
For more information about the Difficult Conversations series, contact Debra Miretzky, assistant professor in WIU's Department of Educational and Interdisciplinary Studies, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

After replacing the clutch, noticed it was still shaking took it to the car to menike and was told that the suspension on the front end had problems. Gues what- due to the car being totaled. I ended up getting the Sway bar links replaced and was also informed that all the struts needed to be replaced, which totaled approximately 2,000, for all the work. I decided to get the sway bar's changed so that we had no problems whe driving on the highway. However we continued to have the shaking on the front-end and it got even worst. it would shake when coming out of 1st. I tried to trade the car in and all the car dealerships informed me that the care would not be worth anything to them with a salvage title, and if I were to sell it, i would probably only get about 1,500 at the most. Keep in mind, through all this, I was still making payments ont this car that was giving me problems and owed 6,000.00.
I contacted Best Car Buys and tried to make a deal with them regarding this car, I informed them I would give them 2,000.00 for the title. I ended up speaking with the finance Manager, who said he had to speak with the owner and would give me a call back, I am still waiting for a call.

That definitely sounds like a ripoff,,,,,But wait!
" When callingBest Car Buys they stated that my wife had signed the disclosure. "
So, they gave her a document disclosing that the car had a salvaged title? What more do you expect them to do? You clearly stated above that the information was not disclosed. I think your wife's signature on a disclosure document is calling you a liar.
" However, she didnt even know what a salvaged title was until after I explained it to her. The sales men took advantage of her because she is a women and didnt inform her what she was sisgning. "
If it is your opinion that women are not capable of reading or understanding common vehicle sales documents, then why would you send such a person to buy a vehicle?
I see plenty of reports of sleazy car dealers on this site, but this one doesn't cut it. You are basically claiming that they should have talked your dim bulb of a wife out of buying this car, because she was too stupid to understand what she was signing. That's not what salespeople do. That should have been your job.
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?

The report from the last couple of months is showing some interesting stats. The rise in home demand is obvious and this might create a boom in the following year if the constructors can follow it. The starters and the starting pace are bigger than the last year, and the money earned too. However, let us see the details because this blast can be something big.
The rise of the demand
The whole situation is based on the fast construction of the new homes. The offers of new homes are being added to the supply. As soon as the new building appear on the market, the buyers are buying them almost the same minute. This is creating a very aggressive building pace. Brad Hunter, the chief economist of Metrostudy, says that the demand is very high. This website is doing surveys once in three months, and they can only conclude that the builders have a hard time. The demand is so high that the building processes are being sped up. This can result in a great income or in a great fall of the market.
The Metrostudy's latest reports have showed us that the sale started up to 42%, and from 893 to 1.282 in the fourth quarter. These were Southwest Florida results, but on the annual plan, the start pace increased for 18%, to 4.800 with more than 4.083 in the quadrant quarter. This was way greater amount than in the last year's quarter.
Metrostudy has also reported that quarterly Washington, D.C. report covers only Collier and Lee counties. In this report, town and single-family homes and duplexes are included, but the report is left out the condominiums. As the report shows, the starting pace in Collier County was up 22% over the whole year, while it was 10% in Lee County.
If we take a brief look through the stats that include these counties, we can see that 3.151 houses that were made in the 4th quarter had a price over $300.000. That is twice as the number of houses with the house under $300.000, which amounts 1.553. However, the most common price ranges for starts were between $300.000 and $399.000.
This rush of new buildings are helping with the supply. However, there still are not enough homes to satisfy the buyer's market. Supply is at seven or eight months in Lee County while nine months are considered normal. This rush is supporting the budget of the construction firms, and they can get a big benefit from the whole situation.
The number of starts
If we look at annual stars that concern only single family houses, Ave Maria is leading with 316 starts by various builders. On the second place, we have GL Home's Marbella Isles with a good amount of two hundred and forty three starts. Behind Marbella Isles comes Toll Brothers' Bonita Lakes with two hundred starts. For Naples real estate, Minto's The Isles of Collier Preserve have the fourth place with 171 starts. Behind them comes Plantation with 147 starts and WCI's Pelican Preserve with the number of 128 starts. The last two places go to multiple builders with 125 starts that were working at Fiddler's Creek and DiVosta's Winding Cypress with only 111 starts. However, it does not matter which position they have taken, all these companies have gained a good benefit from these projects.
The future is also bright. By the last of 2016, the Metrostudy predicts that housing starts will reach 1.23 million. This is a very good progress comparing to the last year where the total amount of stats came to 1.1 million. Brad Hunter added that he expects that housing market will live its expand in the next couple of years. However, price gains will slow for new homes. He predicts this guided by the fact that the prices of the new homes have gone up much faster than the existing home prices. This gap will be even wider and the buyers would not have the money to support it.
As usual, the situation is tight. The house demand is getting bigger, and the constructors are giving their best efforts to follow this demand. The people are eager to buy more homes, so the number of starts is rising. The prices of homes are stable, and the majority of them was sold for more than $300.000. This is a great opportunity for the constructors to refill their budgets. However, they will have to work day and night to satisfy the demand.

Millions of people around the world wanted to meet De La Hoya, to shake his hand, to slap him on the back, to say they'd been in his presence.
Despite the adoration, De La Hoya said that for years, his only friend was a bottle.
De La Hoya, one of the world's leading boxing promoters and a soon-to-be Hall of Fame fighter, is an alcoholic with 19 months of sobriety to his credit.
As the holidays approach, De La Hoya said that for the first time in a long time, he is truly joyful. A little more than a year after he admitted that he contemplated suicide to ease the pain he felt, De La Hoya could finally say he was happy to be alive.
Last week, De La Hoya gave away free tickets to a boxing card at the Los Angeles Sports Arena to thank boxing fans for their support. He spearheaded a toy drive that included other boxers such as Peter Quillin and Danny Jacobs. He immersed himself in holiday activities and said he suspected that he got far more from them than those he helped.
"This is basically feeding the soul," he said of his holiday charity work. "It's feeding my soul. It feels so good, it really does, to be able to do something for someone and see them smile and see the impact. I want to make this a tradition. It feels so good. This is what I should have been feeling all these years."
De La Hoya was admitted to drug and alcohol rehabilitation in May 2011. In August 2011, a few months after he completed his rehab stay, he gave bombshell interviews in which he admitted to a series of transgressions.
Admitting he had a problem was part of the recovery process. It took a while, though, for it to become a part of him.
It's a daily fight he'll never be able to give up, but he finally feels like he's made his problems a thing of the past.
"You get to be famous or have some notoriety and there are so many people who want a piece of you," he said. "I look back on where I was a while ago and the truth of it is, even if there were hundreds of people around me, my only friend was the bottle.
"Now, I feel the friendship. I feel the warm. I feel the love. It's a totally different thing."
A healthy, engaged De La Hoya is a great thing for boxing. Despite being retired for nearly four years, he remains among the most popular figures in the sport.
The company he founded, Golden Boy Promotions, is locked in a bitter feud with Top Rank that to most observers makes little sense. They're clearly the best promoters in the world with the deepest rosters of talented fighters, but they refuse to work together and allow fights that would be stellar to go unmade.
That's not likely to change any time soon, sadly, but now that he is sober and engaged in running his company the right way, things will more forward in a more classy, professional manner.
He understands what boxing has given him – "Everything I have in this world, I owe to the sport of boxing, and I won't ever forget that" – and he says it's time for him to give back.
He's always been charitable, but much of the giving he did before was out of some sense of obligation. Now, he's engaged in what he's doing and he's giving for no reason other than he is obsessed with the idea of helping someone else have a better life.
The competitive side of him, though, can't resist thinking of what might have been. De La Hoya will be eligible for election to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2013 and is a slam-dunk choice. He won world titles in six classes and was among the elite fighters in the sport for more than a decade.
As good as he was, however, he admits he could have been so much more.
"I think about it, not every single day but almost, that if this person I am today I had been during my fighting days, the sky would have been the limit," he said. "I almost touched the sky. I wasn't quite there, but if I had been the man I am today, I definitely would have been so much more and been walking on the clouds."
