They did none of the things I was promised. They DID NOT contact or renegotiate with my creditors, they DID NOT make monthly disbursements on time, and they DID NOT disburse all of the money that I sent them.
I called the Family Credit Counseling Corp. to complain about their services but I found them next to impossible to get in touch withthe dont answer phone calls, emails, or letters. I canceled my account.
I have made two complaints against them with the Florida Better Business Bureau, and was not surprised to see that they had several hundred other complaints leveled against them from other consumers, most of which had been ignored. My two complaints were also ignored. I then wrote a letter to the Florida Better Business Bureau, who replied that they could do nothing to assist me, so I filed complaints with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Florida Attorney Generals office.
Because of the Family Credit Counseling Corporation, one account was turned over to a collections agency, and I am behind the other two accounts. I am trying to reconcile what happened to all of the payments I sent these people, but they refuse to send me any kind of payment or disbursement history. I am convinced that they are holding money of mine that does not belong to them.
I take this matter very seriously, as my credit history has been negatively affected due to their shoddy business practices.
Is there anything that can be done to assist me or other consumers who have been ripped off? Why are they continuing to be able to do business in Florida?

It seems like they are still up to their old tricks. This is nothing new. I was a customer of FCCC for several years and it destroyed my credit.
I made complaints to the florida attorney General's office, Better business Bureau to name a few. I made so many complaints that in 2006 they sent me a letter that they could nolonger manage my account and had transfered my account to anothercredit repair organization. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. However, I am still rebuilding my credit and I never got the 630 dollars of mine that they owed me.
I was a part of a class action lawsuit in 2006 (see Baker v. Family Credit Counseling Corp., No. 04-CV-5508). The result of the lawsuit was a joke and I wrote a very long objection to the settlement but to no avail. One of the things that I stated in my objection was that I believed that FCCC would be at it again and that they have had no real consequnces for their criminal behavior.
I wish you the best of luck.

Six Summit Township firefighters fire last fall are back on the payroll... They were accused of having sex on the job.
The Summit Township Board gave the okay during a meeting Wednesday morning.
Returning to work are Captain Doug Evert, firefighters Matt Shaw, Scott Stoker, Todd Moore, Jim Warner, and Larry Witkowski. Those men along with Captain Steve Hammond were accused of sleeping with numerous women at the firehouses on Ferguson road and Spring Arbor.
The township supervisor says the board made the decision to settle the issue and cut their losses. This comes after some witnesses who gave sworn statements failed to show up at the arbitration hearings. Hammond is still in the arbitration process.

Can someone please tell me why the blockquote is screwing up my validation. I can't figure it out and my eyes are getting cross eyed while going over and over the css.

When you use the

 tag like this, so it looks like it sort of will

it really upsets stuff.
Better to
 use it like this which looks odd when you do it but means
 that it validates.
Odd but true :)
Nope, it's still not validating even putting everything on the same line. I don't understand.
Hmm, I've tried to understand why WP automatically adds the

 when you use

. Still, I don't understand why this would cause a validation error.
According to your validation results, you have some

s that aren't properly closed.
Edit: Deleted as actual solution was found by someone else.
Nuclear -- what is the purpose of the added

's after the

's? I'm just curious.
I wish I had an answer for you. One of the coders will have to answer this question. I just accepted it as part of the inner workings of WordPress and designed around it.
I could guess, but I would just be wasting your time by doing so.
I just added the space as suggested by podz, or that's what I read from his post. I've taken the space out and it's still not validating.
BubsatSchool, the blockquotes are properly closed, whcih makes the error even stranger.
I understand it's probably an error on my part someplace perhaps in the css, but I can't figure out what it is.
Lynne did you address the issue I found?
Edit: Actual solution found by someone else.
Are the

's or INSIDE the
When editing your post:
outside
inside
 outside
It outputs

outside

It outputs
And you cant have
blockquotes inside
ps. So put your
blockquotes on new lines and everything should work out.
So, Lynne, I guess it wasn't the fault of WordPress after all! :0)
Well... you can always argue WordPress should be smarter.
Pardon my ignorance, be patient.
I'm not doing anything differently on this journal than I do on my other journal, and it's validating there using blockquote the smae way.
Are you running any plugins that modify post content on your other journal?
I have very few plugins on that journal. You think that could be it?
I'm turning in for the evening, work in the morning. I'll check back then.
Thanks for all the help so far.
I have no idea. Textile and Markdown both do some serious modification to your post content, but both have their own, proprietary bloquote tags. But, anyway, it doesn't sound like you're using them.
You could try disabling each plugin in turn to figure it out. It'd be nice to know what the actual difference is. Or... you could just switch to putting your blockquotes on new lines
blockquote is on a new line :)
Not knowing exactly what it did, and prone to clicking things just to see what they do, I activated textile about 3 weeks ago. Perhaps that's what has screwed everything up.
I've deactivated it, and now I'm left with a bunch of other errors, but I'll work through them one by one.
If I've learned one things from validating sites in the past, it's one error can cause many more. Hopefully I'll stumble on it quickly
Thanks for all the help, and when I've finished correcting the other errors, if blockquote still won't validate, I'll come back and cry some more.
It's all fixed and validating
The textile appeared to be screwing up the blockquote. Once that was deactivated, it validated.
Of course once the textile was deactivated that opened up a bunch of other problems, specifically those with the thumbprint plugin.
Won't go into to much detail, but I had to reinsert something back in the plugin to make it validate without textile activated.
I'm going to have a beer now :)

I just got rid of the things too.
Alec got taken out by a crystal. Go kill it >.>
Alec just had to touch a crystal pulsating with evil. What do we do with you
Right away, boss.
Danny wouldn't have done that. Granted, he's zoning in on the things next to the crystal. Speaking of which...

To be fair, the Shatterpoint has never failed before!

Okay, so I didn't actually involve Sarge. Turned out different than expected really
Well Kasha just shakes her head and Daniel says nothing.

Well, I was intending to post tonight.... then my brain gave out... so I've just been sitting here attempting to think with the tv playing the background, not helping anything. All that to say I will be getting a post up tomorrow, not tonight.

Not a whole lot I can do anyway. Zels isn't in a position to notice Danny's problems, and the only ones who could notice Lenea are Swan and Gotab (at least that I tagged anyway).
Don't worry, Alec will just lie around for a bit. Resting.
Just make sure to flip him over five minutes after he's done sizzling.

NEW YORK — The Christmas season beckons retailers — even at the height of summer — with a multitude of challenges in a year that will seriously test them.
Retail consolidations and intensifying pressures on Wal-Mart, Sears, Roebuck and Co. and other low-priced mass chains, as well as Gap Inc., have changed the landscape. By the start of the season, Marshall Field's, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and possibly others, such as Carson Pirie Scott, will have new owners with Federated Department Stores Inc. taking over May Department Stores Co. and Saks Inc. selling off department stores.
High oil and gasoline prices, terrorism and concerns about job stability have coalesced, triggering declining consumer confidence last month.
Nonetheless, holiday assortments are planned, press previews are under way and merchandise will start pouring onto the selling floors in mid-October. The bigger push will be in November with pre-holiday sales, though The Neiman Marcus Group launches its over-the-top, ultraexclusive Christmas catalogue in September.
At many stores, last year's explosion of color, cashmere, denim and luxe has been reined in and refined — it's about a fusion of luxe looks with casual; lifestyle items; velvets; metallics; quirky, fun accessories with a lot of shine, gold and bronze, and a return to black dresses.
Retailers selling fashion are not anticipating huge holiday gains — several see low- to midsingle-digit comp-store growth. However, they are hoping for decent business, largely because of progress attaining more sophisticated and differentiated styles, and trends suggesting consumers are more willing to spend on apparel and accessories, having already bought their iPods and computers.
Christine Augustine, retail analyst, Bear, Stearns, said she was "cautiously optimist" about holiday and noted that Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has been working to improve apparel and electronics, which could see a lift this year after flopping last holiday, while seasonal bedding, pet supplies, domestics and paper goods did well.
Augustine foresees fewer tactical errors on the marketing side at Wal-Mart, including a return to product-focused advertising, and fewer image campaigns, with hipper ad spots broadcast on the coasts and more traditional ads for the Midwest and the South. Wal-Mart went soft in price promoting after Thanksgiving last year, and suffered as a consequence.
This story first appeared in the July 27, 2005 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The $285 billion company has launched a public relations counteroffensive after coming under attack for its levels of employee benefits and other issues. And it is fighting the perception that its chief rival, Target Corp., is hipper and more fashion focused. Target, Augustine said, did well in jewelry and accessories last year, though apparel was not a standout and could come back stronger in apparel and electronics, as well.
China's 2.1 percent revaluation of its currency last week and the decision to peg the yuan to a basket of currencies rather than the dollar isn't expected to have a major impact on the season.
For Saks Inc., criminal and civil investigations into its chargeback and accounting practices loom large.
Gap Inc. is struggling with poor sales trends and has been criticized for missing trends and lackluster merchandise. Its recovery plan involves renovating stores, shifting from its historical emphasis on sportswear by adding space for petites, accessories, jewelry and personal care, and this fall launching another division, called Forth & Towne, to capture an older demographic.
"I see no reason why the consumer won't be strong for holiday, given the 3 percent growth in real disposable income we are seeing right now and provided the housing market hangs in with 2 percent real interest rates for mortgages," said Bob Buchanan, senior retailing analyst, A.G. Edwards. "I'm thinking 4 to 5 percent comp-store gains for Christmas. It will be a very respectable Christmas.
"However, I certainly would not want to be at the low end. Stores such as Wal-Mart, Family Dollar and Dollar General will continue to struggle due to high gas prices and the continued migration of factory jobs to the Pacific Rim," he continued. For stores ranging from J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to Kohl's Corp. and up to Neiman Marcus, there's a more favorable outlook, Buchanan said.
"Wal-Mart really does get affected by gas prices more than other retailers," said Robin Lewis, president of the strategic consulting firm bearing his name. "Target can feed off a higher income group." He added that Wal-Mart's apparel upgrades may not kick in soon enough for the chain to benefit this holiday.
One department store chief executive, who asked not to be identified, suggested holiday comps for the sector would be in the low-single-digit range, at 2 or 3 percent. Andrew Jennings, president of Saks Fifth Avenue, was less specific, projecting single-digit gains. "We're put in a lot more preparation" than last year, Jennings said. "We are feeling positive about the season."
Total sales growth for the nation is expected to fall short of last year for the fourth quarter, but not by much. "We are predicting about a 5 percent growth in total sales, which is good," said Tracy Mullin, president and ceo of the National Retail Federation, which hasn't yet forecast specifically for the holiday season. For holiday '04, there was 7 percent growth," Mullin said.
"We are bullish on apparel and accessories," Mullin added. "We think it will perform well through the year. Retailers are making a very concerted effort to differentiate merchandise and look different from competitors. It's beginning to pay off." Back-to-school apparel, so far, has performed well, she added, though total numbers on apparel are pretty much flat with a year ago. "I don't think it looks bad at all."
For retailing overall, the gift card trend keeps evolving, pushing more business into January, and online is an ever-increasing part of the picture, cannibalizing some comp business but pushing up total sales.
Holiday 2005 will be about outfits that mix luxe appeal with casual items, such as fancy velvet evening tops and fur shrugs that work with embellished denim jeans. Items such as fur trapper hats, hoodies, exotic skins and fancy flip-flops demonstrate retailers are willing to get fun and quirky with unusual silhouettes and fabric mixes that don't reach too far for fashion flair.
The season also will feature logos with a bit of flash, and velvets. Metallic tones, particularly gold and bronze, and unusual sizes and silhouettes permeate accessories. More than ever, retailers are hyping exclusive looks they say hold the key to a successful season.
"It's about fusion — logos with fur, activewear with luxe, denim with embellishments, velvet jackets with lace camisoles — and taking one lifestyle and blending it with another," said Nicole Fischelis, vice president and fashion director for ready-to-wear, Macy's East. "There are two sides to it: a casual attitude in a very luxe way."
Fischelis, a native Parisian, characterized the season's mood as "après-ski" and showed off items to explain the look, including cableknit sweaters, cashmere sweaters and snug winter white quilted jackets.
"It's about casual opulence," said Stephanie Solomon, Bloomingdale's operating vice president and fashion director, women's rtw. She cited the use of velvet in women's and men's wear, rich colors and beadwork and, like other retailers, also suggested that the program for Christmas is different, but not a complete abandonment of last year's offerings. Cashmeres, denim, brights and shine will still command a good chunk of floor space.
"The subtle, shrunken velvet jacket is a must have," Solomon said. "It works with your favorite jeans. It works over anything. We also love velvet in dresses and accessories, and the proliferation of beadwork on knits and tops. There's a more neutral color palette, which makes the beadwork more discreet."
She also said embellished jeans, while important to the presentation again this year, have shifted to a more subdued look with embroidery and studs, rather than shiny beads. However, "there is nothing sleeker than a little black dress. It's back in fashion."
Robert Burke, vice president and senior fashion director for Bergdorf Goodman, said, "We are seeking things toned town. We saw a lot of color last year. This year, it's a lot of metallics, black, rich browns and jewel tones. We still see ornamentation, bit it is more monochromatic."
He said Bergdorf's, for the past three years, has intensified efforts to be recognized as a gift store, and one that offers exclusive products in a range of prices, from a Darby Scott semiprecious stone handbag with metal casting for $110,000 or an actual stuffed zebra by Deyrolle, a Parisian taxidermist, for $27,500, to private label cashmere socks for $80, or crocodile iPod cases for $295.
J. Crew Inc. is offering a limited-edition cashmere cardigan with a fur-trim collar. "It reminds you of your grandfather's sweater. It's cozy and big," said Margot Brunelle, head of J. Crew marketing. For the cashmere assortment overall, Brunelle said: "I like to think of it as a new generation of cashmere, with new silhouettes, and also limited-edition items."
She also said J. Crew will be offering newness in some fabrics, including introducing tartan plaids, and authentic Scottish tweeds.
Brunelle sounded a familiar chord for the season, saying, "You'll see the juxtaposition of casual dressing with luxury dressing, so your favorite pair of chinos, which is in a new, sexier fit, [is] paired with a more luxurious fitted tweed blazer and silk camisole underneath." The company also has a wait list on some more exclusive items, such as a mink purse with a chain handle for $495, shown in an editorial shot for Elle's July issue, and a cardigan with a fur-trim collar, for $395, shown in Shop Etc.
Saks Fifth Avenue will be reviving some of the elements of last year's campaign, including the giant snowflakes on the facade of the Fifth Avenue flagship, and the snowflake shopping bags. The company is offering more exclusives, including Neil Lane celebrity jewelry featuring vintage diamond jewelry. Among the exclusive products exhibiting that relaxed-luxe look are Jimmy Choo flip-flops or Gypsy Couture wrap dresses, as well as a full assortment of fur hats and fur hoodies, from brands such as Cassin. "It's not the basic trapper," said spokeswoman Leslie Langsam. "It's a functional trapper or baseball caps with fur ears. There's a little glitz and a little glamour. It's not going away."
Saks seeks to cash in with its Wild About Cashmere promotion, which commences in September and will run through holiday. The store also has taken the black dress to a new level, for example, offering a Donna Karan cashmere sequined dress for $1,250.
At Sears, Roebuck and Co., "we believe this holiday season is even more so about luxe and we will be featuring metallics, velvet, faux fur and luxe fabrics in apparel, footwear and accessories," said spokeswoman Lee Antonio. "It's all about shine" in apparel or in jewelry, or even western boots done in a leather bronze color. "This whole luxe and shine concept is being applied to everything."
Citing some seasonal shifts, Limited Brands Inc. reported: "Black is reborn in velvet, satin and lace. Everything is rich in luxury, accentuated through texture, jacquards, fur and embellishment. The color palette includes deep, rich and saturated jewel tones of garnet red, vivid violets and chocolate brown. Metallics are extremely important in authentic shades of muted gold, bronze and gunmetal."
The specialty retailer also cited "luxurious sweaters in graphics, crochet, cables or featuring pointelle stitches, along with a sexy bustier worn with embellished denim for the holiday party. Other key looks include silk charmeuse wrap tops paired with velvet trousers and lacy, Victorian-inspired tops mixed with clean, modern trousers.
Lavelle Olexa, Lord & Taylor's senior vice president of fashion merchandising, said, "We see Christmas 2005 as an opulent season rich in color and texture with an abundance of all kinds of embellishment: stones, sequins, trims, embroidery, patchwork. In ready-to-wear and accessories, velvet is newly important, and metallic, especially gold and bronze, are key," she said. "Denim continues to grow in importance, now with lots of embellishment or embroidered. Knits are strong, cardigans, camisoles, sweater jackets and, of course, lots of cashmere. There is also a warm and cozy trend with shearlings, faux and real, in outerwear, accessories and boots."
Holiday '05 Trends
- Velvets and cashmeres.
- Sophisticated, embellished denims.
- Outfits with a fusion or casual luxe appeal.
- Trapper hats.
- Metallic tones, particularly gold and bronze.

This week's Tuesday Tip is early as that I will be out of town the majority of this week.
Just because it is on a mannequin or on the cover of a catalog does not mean it is stylish. I know this can be terribly confusing for those new into building a personal wardrobe. But like the news, you cannot accept everything as gospel. As there are three sides to every story, there are many views of current fashion.
I received a copy of the recent Newport News catalog in the mail. I usually toss this immediately. Newport News, Chadwicks, Boston Proper, Carabella, Venus and Spiegel are all lumped in the same pile in my mind. These are catalogs that are 90% full of the ugliest crap in the world. The other 10% is good simple basics at a low price, but simple basics that I am wary of. Will the rise be more Soccer Mom than Hot Mama? What is the fabric quality? Is the leg straight from the hip down, or the knee down resulting in a tacky tapered line? Needless to say, I have learned to simplify my life by tossing these catalogs and finding my low-priced staples at Target, Old Navy, The Gap and the sale racks at Ann Taylor.
Recently, I have seen items from the Newport News collection in my favorite fashion mags. This does not mean that their clothing is hip or great; it means that they sent free pieces to the editors in hops that it would fit a story and be displayed. However some of these items looked fairly cute. I was especially intrigued by a military-inspired long jacket in black velvet.
I flipped through the catalog and was assaulted by many current trends gone bad, yet some decent novelty pieces along with the basics. I ordered two shirts and a jacket and will let you readers know how these items work for me once they arrive. The bad fashion was so prevalent, I felt it necessary to comment on it.
1. Just because leggings are in style does not mean you should wear them. I know, I know I have stated this before but I cannot say it enough. When I went to the Newport News website, the first picture I saw was tall leggy women in turtleneck tunic sweaters and leggings. The company is offering a free pair of leggings with every tunic sweater. Wow, free! Who can pass up free? And that sweater looks cozy and will cover one's ass quite nicely. Who can pass on that?
YOU. Please please please do NOT buy into this look as being fashionable or even flattering. Really look as these gorgeous models. Examine them in the rest of the website, the same women now in dresses, or suits. Compare the two looks. Do they look better in the dress or the tunic? Now think, if they look better and thinner and prettier in a dress than a turtleneck tunic, imagine how you will look in that sweater. Not that pretty of a picture, is it?
2. More isn't better. This is another statement I make from time to time, but it holds true in this fall/winter season of luxe fabrics, Russian and military influences and leftover bohemian touches from summer. Even on the front cover of the catalog the model is wearing a frilly top that has the front ruffles AND the blouson sleeves with tweed pants that are not just tweed but have a black silken bow at the waist. On top of this she has chandelier earrings and long tendrils of blonde hair. A blouse that could possibly work on it's own, a pair of pants with a bit too much detail, a pair of earrings that could look gorgeous with the right outfit, sexy hair… the whole combination is a busy, confusing and hot mess.
The inside page is even more exhausting. A leather jacket with a sheer blouse with a lace scarf and a denim skirt with lace insets and a rhinestone belt. Whew! I can just imagine the lace-up leather and suede boots in two-tone that she probably has on under this skirt. Then the next page. Faux fur stole? Cute! Faux fur stole with a faux cheetah print tunic, large braided hip belt and tinted jeans with hem detail? Frightening. How about the crocheted top and matching crocheted long skirt? I personally do not want to walk around looking like a living doily. And let's not talk about the black and white overload outfit in the center.
If you have a fussy top, match it with simple trousers. This blouse with simple, classic tweed trousers, pearl studs and more simple hair would be lovely. The pants with a black turtleneck, black boots and a low sideswept ponytail could be chic and classy. The earrings with a simple crepe sheath and pumps would add flair and formality to a simple evening look. There should only be one focal point on an outfit or the viewer gets dizzy. Accent with a scarf, or a bold necklace, or a cool belt, or a patterned skirt or fun shoes. Not all of them at once.
3. Belts are not always best. IF you do not love your midsection, steer clear of wide waistbands on tunics and all these large belts. I believe men have decided that large hip belts hide our midsections. In actuality, these kind of details only draws attention to your tummy and hides any shape or wait definition you may currently have. A tall slim blonde in a calf-length unstructured jacket, leggings, tall boots and a hip belt may look cool and stylish in a new millennium Stevie Nicks sort of way, but I bet once she stands upright, removes her hand from her belt, she will look a bit disheveled and confusing. Few women can carry off the layers and ruffles of Stevie, or the belts associated with her look.
If you aren't sure, keep it simple. No one will find a woman in basic trousers and a solid sweater to be a fashion victim or tacky. You may blend into the woodwork, but with some time honing your style, investing in creative accessories that show your personality, you will look stylish instead of scary (or Stevie).
4. Consider your shape. The catalog shows a lovely vertically-striped boatneck sweater in a dark chocolate shade. Smaller braided hip belt with a buckle to compliment the sweater (and actually fits, doesn't sling down but sits right at the hip), a fringed brocade shawl tossed over one shoulder and a long tan tweed skirt. A very pretty concept… however if you are petite, a floor-length skirt will look more like a costume than work-appropriate attire. Same with a shawl on the shoulder. This woman is probably near 6' tall and the shawl falls past her knees. Consider your height prior to purchasing. What may work on a tall lean blonde may not work on a curvy petite, or a long-waisted 5'7" gal with hips. A knee-length skirt and a large square scarf folded on an angle and secured at the shoulder with a brooch may be a better choice than a shawl and belt.
This being said, I have ordered two wrap-style cotton shirts in solid colors and a ¾ sleeved swing jacket in black velvet and hope they will look great. I just believe women should proceed with caution in stores and catalogs. That which is displayed may be harmful to your fashion health. Know your style and know your figure and dress for that first and foremost. And if you have the panache to carry off fringe and ruffles like Stevie Nicks, well I'd like to hear from you!

moreFrom A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by Jessica Hische
It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet. In a design collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series features unique cover art by Hische, a superstar in the world of type design and illustration, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's recent film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. With exclusive designs that have never before appeared on Hische's hugely popular Daily Drop Cap blog, the Penguin Drop Caps series launches with six perennial favorites to give as elegant gifts, or to showcase on your own shelves.
H is for Hesse. A young Brahmin named Siddhartha searches for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, Herman Hesse's strangely simple Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory the troubled twentieth century ever produced. less

On February 23,2011 I took our puppy out for potty.We were outside 10 minutes.I then brought her(Foxxy)back into the house where she continued running around and playing as usual and all of a sudden she yelped and fell flat on the floor..she collapsed!My fiance Jeff and I were frantic and confused and then he said get in the car luckily there was a vet hospital 2 blocks away. After she collapsed all her bowel and urine came out. I picked her up and she started to convulse and then she went completely stiff.We ran out to the car where more bowel came out and there she dropped limp stopped breathing,her heart stopped and she took let go of her last breath of air.We ran into the vets office frantically explaining the situation I handed her over limp as a noodle and all of a sudden she came back...barely breathing and barely alive we waited for the veterinarian. He told us everything sounded and looked fine and her glucose levels were fine.He told us what ever it is its and underlying condition shes had prior to our purchase.The tests for those results are too exspensive for us.And the vet also reminded me of the 2 hernias that she has that we must keep an eye on and those are prior to purchase as well. Something that "their" vets happened to miss!!??
On February 24,2011 exactly a month since weve bought Foxxy,I called All About Puppies and asked to speak with a manager and there was not one on duty so they gave me the customer service line and said they should be able to help you. Turns out customer service is Owner Regina Galloway. I told her my horrifying experience and she told me,"Im going to hang up on you,your lying! That has never happened to any puppy in my 15 years of experience!" I tried to ask her about the 1 year warranty for congenital and hereditary coverage she says,"well read the papers!! Your responsible for everything!!!" She continued to call me a lyer and hung up on me.My fiance Jeff called her back and said,"hi were you the lady that just talked to whitney(me) and she cut him off and responded," I dont even care who you are,I dont give a sh*#! You can f*#$ off!!!" And then hung up on him. We then went up to the store to request information on the puppy we purchased...they wont give us our certificate,they wouldnt give us the owners full name. They then called her and Regina told them if we dont leave to call the sheriffs. All we wanted was our puppys certificate and they said they gave to the vet and to get anything we want including information on where the puppies come from we have to contact customer service(Regina) The only way we found out her name was through the internet.The girls in the store were very rude and short with us.We know the breeders name but not what company she works for Im positive it was just another puppymill like all the chains! they asked if I had the breeders USDA number and I said,"no you guys wont give it to me." Well we dont have it,some puppies do and some dont." Makes no sense this place is rediculous I advise that no one buys puppies from here EVER! And when we left another couple said their puppy died 2 days after! We have the right to know where a puppies come from and to have all their paper work handed to us when the purchase is complete!!! What a RIPPOFF!!!!!

What financial threshold?? Frontier advertised a $100,000 tournament to incentivise ED game sales, took people's money, and then reneged on the tournament. No "threshold" was involved.

I'm not sure why you would suppose that not reaching a financial threshold should serve as the litmus test for fraudulent behavior. I've run or assisted with more than a dozen KS projects, and those campaigns often had financial or social media goals which triggered something, it if met. If not, they didn't. I work in law enforcement, and I'm trying to understand the rationale.

Did we miss the bit where David Braben explained why he's spending a fortune promiting the NEXT expansion while he has still not finished the LAST expansion, Engineers, now FOUR MONTHS past its original delivery date?
No, I don't think we missed it. It was him that missed it out.
Braben's priority hasn't changed since the start of this project. His priority is delivering promises rather than delivering the promised product.

"after watching many You Tube videos in advance of us downloading the game to learn how to fly"
Joseph, if that's the "there's hours and hours of content for us" of yours that I asked about... then yes you might indeed enjoy the empty grindy bugfest that is Elite Dangerous.
Joseph Pilkus on August 10
My daughter, when I told her about the controversial issues surrounding the game and my response, immediately replied, "yes, we were flying around for a few hours, but that's after watching many You Tube videos in advance of us downloading the game to learn how to fly." As an Air Force officer, it came a bit easier to me. We experienced a lot of rolling when she had the stick.
Wyzak on August 10
Yeah Avalanche,
It was confirmed that Theta Sigma was a shareholder, and deusx_ophc admitted in his own words to being a shareholder.
Joseph Pilkus on August 9
It's based on two data streams. First, I've read a number of reviews, including yours and the ones pointed-out by Avalanche which speak to 1,000+ hours of play under their belts. Second, my daughter and I had a chance to configure our ship and fly around for about two hours last night, landing on one planet and docking at a location. We'll have more "flight time" tonight and during the balance of the week.
Oldschool Shadowrunner on August 9
Joseph, I'm interested to know what makes you say "there's hours and hours of content for us" in Elite Dangerous. If I get you right, haven't played the game yet. So are you going by the developer diaries? The advertising? Reviews? Or what? Just askin.
Joseph Pilkus on August 9
Your pleas are not beyond reason. I'm a published board game designer, and while I know nothing about the intricacies of creating developing a video game, I have a more than seven years in the area of play-testing, writing, and developing board games. Regardless of the clever mechanics or the immersive environment, it has to be fun. For more than three decades, I've played RPGs...why? Because they reward good play and over time, you enhance your abilities and skills. Anyway, I can certainly sympathize with your anguish...if it's not fun, it may not be worth playing.
Oldschool Shadowrunner on August 8
Elite has no respect for people's time.
I can't think of any other pursuit that yields so little for the time you invest.
I'd like to play more Elite; the ships are amazing and they sound and feel great.
However, that's not enough. I just can't justify spending hours looking for random named materials for random engineers, or trying broken missions, or broken powerplay, or driving around on bleak planets.
There are two places I know I can go to have fun; RESs and Conflict Zones. Wait, three; nav beacons. Because I know what I'm signing up for; I arrive, I fight for as long as I like, I go. But I've been playing Elite for over a thousand hours now, and you know what? I'm bored of these.
Since I bought the game nearly two years ago, FD has added nothing that entertains me save a few extra ships. Everything else they've added, I've tried to enjoy, but the game is so mean spirited and makes it so damn hard to get any enjoyment out of. I have a lot of things to do in my "free time", and try as I might (and I try pretty hard, people) I just can't justify spending the time on Elite when spending it any other way, any other way, is more enjoyable and productive.
Yes, I know. It's Elite Dangerous. It doesn't hold your hand or anything, it's a living Galaxy. But it has to offer enough enjoyment from time spent playing it to justify doing so, which, I'm sorry, I'm now aware that it simply does not.(this is subjective, of course, it simply does not for me - but my requirements are quite low compared to most gamers, and I'm lucky enough to have more time than many to spend playing).
FD are madly creating an amazing universe but they've forgotten that they need to make it something people want to spend time with. Scale and numbers mean nothing by themselves; you have to let people experience it in a way that they enjoy. You might argue that they're crafting the world's most amazing space sim, and that to expect a more "enjoyable" experience is at odds with the core of what Elite is.
And that's a fine argument. Unless you want to people to actually PLAY IT.
Elite is so damn disrespectful of people's time. So. Disrespectful. Doing anything takes so much time. SO much time spent "playing" is literally watching clocks count; distances, drives charging, fuel gauges charging, whatever. Elite always comes down to time, it's what the game asks of you, punishes you with, accidentally demands of you with it's archaic idiosyncrasies. And I can no longer justify this time because it is simply not enjoyable enough. I have other games that are just more rewarding to spend time with, not to mention other non-screen based pursuits.
Clearly I've had enough of Elite and need to take a very long break. But you know, I have no great hope that the game will ever become something that appeals to me, now that I understand why it is I feel I can't play it. I think it will never embrace the fact that people want to enjoy it, I think FD are locked on a crazy path and do not understand that their game is terribly neglecting the human element. Since I first bought it, they have spent so much time and effort on it yet added so, so very little that I actually enjoy.
And so it is with heavy heart that this Elite rated commander, who has spent so long playing this game, must condemn Elite, having realized it for what it is and knowing deep down that he can never justify the time to spend on something so cold, mean and boring when there are so much better things to do.
I'm sorry for the rant, please understand it comes from love.
Elite. You MUST learn to respect people's time. You. Must.
Joseph Pilkus on August 8
Thanks for the URLs. It appears as though those who were looking for intensive MMO type play are the most incensed by it all. I do hope you and the others finally get the game you expected to receive. As for the mods, a friend of mine gave my daughter access to more than 50 of them, so she'll be busy for awhile.
Oldschool Shadowrunner on August 8
> Did they both say they were shareholders?
I think one of them, Harbinger, now works for Frontier as a moderator on the Elite Dangerous Steam forum.
By the way, anyone trying to make sense of the old conversations here, the reason you can't find the posts by FD #1 PR agent and FD shareholder Theta Sigma is that he changed his screen name to Doctor Doom when he left here a while ago. I guess that's the furthest distance he could put between him and his comments, since he can't delete his comments entirely.
Avalanche on August 8
@ Wyzak
Did they both say they were shareholders? I kinda recall one did, but I didn't really follow things enough on that.
@ Joseph Pikus
I think it's easier to link to things I've said before, if you're interested. It's just my view on things, for what such things are worth.
On top of current issues, an earlier brief summary [ well 'brief' for me :o) ] of where the issues began so long ago:
Longer summary (which still doesn't cover all the details):
Now, I would say, people are very divided as to the actual game itself, with a foundation of a lot of the previous issues bolstering things up. Such a shame. Hopefully you'll keep enjoying the game.
This is about how I thought Frontier Developments dealt with things via PR, which irked me:
Been a while since I looked, but I think Skyrim Mods are numerous, varied and yes, quite good (possibly better). I think there would be something(s) for anyone to find and include in a playthrough. Worth a look, maybe, unless of course one is strictly a vanilla player.
Joseph Pilkus on August 8
So, having read Harold_UK's entry, he's a long-time gamer with apparently a lot of time on his hands or he plays this one to the exclusion of all others. As my daughter and I will enjoy the solo mode it appears as though we'll avoid this nasty, brutish environment of ED players, but there's hours and hours of content for us.
Interesting debate
Joseph Pilkus on August 8
Thanks for the response. Clearly, Chip Patton is quite livid about "something" but I'm not sure about what it is he's so incensed about. The game, by my limited estimation is beautifully rendered and I can take missions and fly a gorgeous ship which gets better via upgrades.
Canyon be a bit more specific as to the vitriol a vocal minority has about the game.
Oldschool Shadowrunner on August 8
> I'm quite unfamiliar with the issues surrounding Frontier or Elite.
The user reports on Steam will fill you in. Start with the top-rated three reviews.
"This company, Frontier Developments is borderline fraudsters"
"Elite may look nice on the surface, it's just a shame that what lies underneath and in the background is nothing but poisonous and toxic in the extreme. An ill thought out, badly concieved mess."
"I can still dream they'll hire a talented game designer one day."
Joseph Pilkus on August 8
I'm quite unfamiliar with the issues surrounding Frontier or Elite. I finally downloaded the game and it is, as I expected, absolutely stunning. It appears to be, as promised. I'm curious about what I'm "missing" as the $40 USD by my estimation was well spent on a graphically stunning, richly immersive experience.
Yes, I heard the SkyRim mods are quite good.
Wyzak on August 7
Lets not forgot that the two strongest defenders of Frontier on this page by a country mile are both proven shareholders of Frontier. Talk about a conflict of interest.

"If Frontier made the deduction, investors would immediately see the year's true result. A net loss of £2.9m..."
I should probably have been clearer :o) Yes, I can see why they would want to disguise a minus *£8.9 million* from investors. I was wondering what the 'official' line was to explain why they had decided to give the information in that way in a yearly trading update of all things. I'm guessing they're not going to be asked. Not that they would answer anyway.
The Eurogamer article thought is was... 'curious' I think their word was. I do wonder if this sort of thing means we're allowed to scribble a few extra earnings on the back page of a tax return in crayon: "£4,900 for doing stuff. Oh and £9,300 from my mate Dave." in the hope that the Inland Revenue won't notice :oD I wonder, but seriously this time, if such things ever get called out officially. Probably not.
The $100,000 tournament issue is additionally interesting though.
@ Joseph Pilkus
Possibly the same could be asked more of those who've relentlessly persisted in trying to defend Frontier Developments' behaviour, against all reason, even after all FD did (or didn't do as the case may be). Behaviour which is ultimately the route cause of any such discontent (deservedly so I think). Not sure if Oldschool is angry or hates Frontier Development/David Braben, but FD'/DB's behaviour is still something that they have failed to respond to, let alone taken any responsibility for, so some of us still post (some more that others). Some may be as unhappy as they are, as they actually care(d) about Elite and wanted it to be what was promised/advertised. Some didn't get their money back.
I'm not sure why the number of backed projects is relevant though? If Oldschool had backed 30, would that make a difference? 100? Oldschool backed *this* Project, which seems to be the only one that counts, even if it was the only one backed. Also, personally, I've played a lot of good games, but what does that have to do with how Frontier Development/Braben acted, or this Kickstarter, or Oldschool still posting here?
Hope you enjoy all the games with your daughter. Possibly mod Skyrim :o)
Joseph Pilkus on August 6
So, I rarely visit Comment threads long after the Kickstarter ends...but I came back out here and to my surprise...okay, I wasn't really surprised, Oldschool Shadowrunner is still out here spewing hate and discontent. I'm curious as to why you're so angry? I checked-out your profile and you have backed a meager nine items...surely there must be a game you actually enjoy playing...don't you.
Anyway, I'm finally back from a deployment and I hope to actually download the game...my daughter and I have been waiting for a few years and as we built ourselves a computer to accommodate Skyrim (her), StarCraft II (me), and ELITE Dangerous (us), we can't wait to play.

Frontier sets a new record for the the lowest Steam user review score??
Elite Dangerous: Commander Pack - 9%

And that's one of the better scores from the Elite Dangerous so-called franchise. Compare this:

No news I've heard of. If Frontier does manage to raise any funds, hopefully they'll make a public announcement.

and getting back to a previous topic...any news on that pitiful £30mio fundraising round?!
deusx_ophc on July 27
So, after about 500 hours of playtime (I had 250+ hours on Horizons before it became DLC on steam) I think I can make a more educated review on what I think of Elite: Dangerous.
I started the game about a year ago, mindlessley flying around space with no real direction to go in. This notion can confuse some people as then, there was not a clear objective, it was just you're in space so go do something. The primary directive for me or drive was to generate income and work my way up towards bigger and better ships, and I believe this applies to a majority of players. Before the engineers update however, missions were considered bland and repetitivem, with the only real ways to make money being long distance smuggling or large ship trading. For me, I didn't know what to do, and promptly left the game for nearly a year. I then came back to elite dangerous about 3 months before horizons, having an urge to give it a go. I also had a friend with me which in my opinion made the experience much more enjoyable as you had another person to explore or bounty hunt with.
When planetary landing came out, me and my friend were playing all day from 10am to 2am for about a month or two. I think you have to simply enjoy the fun in flying to a planet, gliding down to the surface, deploying your SRV's and then surveying the brilliant terrain laid before you. Flying through canyons, landing in huge craters and taking hours to cross with your SRV. The game did a fantastic job of giving you a scope of just how big these planets are, and there are millions to explore, which to me was great.
However, after months of us playing and repeating the same act of landing on planets, doing the occasional planetary base mission, we became quite bored with the game. This is a huge defining point for a lot of players. "Endgame". This is the stage where you have a comfortable sum of money in your account, you have tried every mission and done your fair amount of bounty hunting. What drive is there now to continue playing the game. For me and my friend there was none, and we were thoroughly dissapointed in the engineers update for a number of reasons:
-We like many others did not like the random aspect to upgrades
-It adds more grind to the already grindy game
-It didn't feel like the wait was worth it
However recentley I have gone back to the engineers and I am having a much better time. Frontier have definitley made mission boards much better and more understandable. Missions pre-update seemed broken, when stacking 10 missions only increased the rep of a faction by 1%.
I believe that the engineers update tailors well for outfitting a smaller ship as you are able to collect materials much quicker and get to places a lot faster. Overall, I've had a brilliant time with this game, and I am thoroughly nostalgic towards the first time I landed on planets or explored a nebula. I really do hope frontier adds more content to planets but I think that engineers at it's core is a step in the right direction. For players who stop playing at end game, I have been there and have done so, however what kept me into the game was the brilliant feeling when exploring space and just marvelling at the brilliance of the graphics and sounds.
-Brilliant Graphics
-Upcoming DLC which will hopefully make the game a lot more rich with content
-Huge planets with amazing terrain that you can explore for hours
-An extremely large and expansive game space which can occupy your entire day.
I'm glad that I discovered Elite and continued playing it and that's why I'd give it a reccomendation to those who would give it time.
P.S. I know this review is all over the place, it's my first proper one kek

i have an idea!!! let's just all post random stuff from the steam review pages!! @OS are you down with that buddy?!
Oldschool Shadowrunner on July 26
Frontier backs down on in-game ban punishing criticism.
I now have access to the game. I thank all of those supporting this review and petitioning Fdev on the forums.
My access was restored to the game in steam after contacting steam support and they replied that my access was suspended by the developer. While steam restored my access, I still do not have access to my acct.
This may just seal my fate, but I think everyone has a right to know this:
I've seem some really bad moderation before in steam, but never to this level. One review I made on Life is Feudal had a helpful rating of 90% before it was banned by the LIF staff. That is pretty dirty, but that pales in comparison to getting salty with your customer because they are critical of your actions and claims stating that it is their opinion that you can't deliver on your promises (such as delivering 2.4 before December when their seasonal obligation expires, while it took them 6 months to deliver 2.1) and pulling their license and abily to play your game.
Obviously they're trying to burry any mention of them not being able to deliver 3 minor versions before December, including banning folks, and even pulling their licenses in-game against their OWN EULA, as I do not cheat and do not play in OP.
This was literally a YEARs worth of grinding, 2 anacondas, and 1.4billion credits lost because I stated my opinion.
I would advise extreme caution if you plan on approaching Frontier about their failed promises and false advertising, you might just end up like me with no way to play or even ask them "why". I advise against even contacting them with any sort of diffrential opinion of the game; in fact if you must speak out, do it on Reddit with an account that can't be traced to your Frontier or Steam account, else, welcome to the club.
Upon my first moderation action in their steam forums, I have received a 30-day ban for describing my experience with the game for the developers to read and then pointing out the thread was locked without reason after many others came in to talk about their bad experiences and showed a lot of support for the topic and my story. Apparently it is considered "excessive spamming and excessive harrassment to moderators" to point out that negative posts are disappearing from the forums without naming or pointing a finger at a single moderator (this is allowed in accordance with the steam community guidelines, so long as you do not call out any moderator, you are allow to express concern with posts disappearing, but not in the ED forums, especailly when you ask about release dates being removed from the steam store, and why the name changed from ED: Horizons Expansion to ED: Horizons Season Pass).
Both, their official forums, and their steam forums suffers badly from dirty moderation (but not from the volunteer moderators, from the developoers themselves in which the post that got me banned clearly pointed out) in which a post will be made soon on Reddit about it. The TL;DR version is simply this: If you make a post about their poor sales on steam, or their failed commitments from the kickstarter or the Horizons Pre-Order, your topic gets locked and you risk being banned. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that when a publisher begins to censor its community based on civil feedback, the game is a lost cause. I've written the game off as a lot of money wasted, so do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for your next space-sim fix.
But if you think maybe that is a hair overboard, consider this, this next bit is about Braiben, the CEO of this game telling his investors that he doesn't have to honor his commitments and promises with customers. He doesn't have to honor the commitments they make on steam, and they don't have to honor the commitments made in the kickstarter. This is who is running Elite: Dangerous; reflect on that.

"Non-recourse money" ~ Braiben
That is what the CEO thinks of your loyality. What does that mean you ask? That means you can take your money and laugh in your face -- so he thinks. Non-recourse means no obligations, no strings attatched like a one-night-stand.
So he said it, what exactly have they missed the mark on?
See the kickstarter page here:
Notice there are quite a few things promised on the kickstarter that is still not in the game. Also, notice in the FAQ that Planet landings hinted to be part of a free update after the initial beta release of the game.
Several forum users here on steam have gone to archive.org and have pulled their old marketing material for Horizons. Nowhere, not a single place prior to August did they state in any fashion that Horizons would be airless planets only or that it would be broken up into pieces and slowly released over the course of a year.
When Horizons was released, there was literally nothing to do but play Mario Carts on planets. Yet, the expansion sold for the the price of the main title itself which is what AAA titles sell for. One would expect the expansion to double the size and features of the game. Yet, again, Mario Carts only. In fact, the pre-order was so deceptively advertised and marketed, Valve, Inc, wanted nothing to do with it and denied it entry to the the store.
So Frontier got around this by changing the name to season pass. Imagine that, Valve, Inc, telling Frontier their listing is too deceptive is like a druglord calling his client a junky. The shere implications of this on its face should be enough to make smart buyers think twice.
The current "outstanding" commitments for Horizons is NPC ships and mutli-crew (players/npcs). In essence we were supposed to see 4 minor versions of Horizons in this "season" or "expansion", the expansion is only up to 2.1, yet they would have the community still believe they will deliver v2.2, v2.3, and v2.4 before December when their obligation to support the game expires.
This company, Frontier Developments is borderline fraudsters, in fact, I'm shocked that there has been no class-actions filed to-date that allows all players, not just backers to file claims against this company. It is only a matter of time as I'm exploring the possibilities of a class-action myself with my own lawyers being as they have opened an office in the United States.
These types of developers give the entire gaming industry a bad name and when they're given a free-pass for whatever reason, more and more publishers jump on the same wagon, because it is much more profitable to simply take your money for a finished product and deliver only 1/5 of a product. This has to stop.
This has gotten so out of hand, the moderators are looking for any reason to shut down critical topics in their forums. I just saw where another user posted SteamSpy statistics as a reply to someone else's post about population in the game. His post was deleted and he was warnned by a moderator that it was off-topic.
Therefor the user posted in a new thread, saying that being it was off-topic he was created a new topic. That topic was locked, the user was banned, and the moderator claimed he was attacking other moderators by saying, "I was told it was off-topic so I'm creating a new topic".
Discuss the game at your own risk or... peril.
The review was removed to make room.

I purchased my TV in October 2011, in November 2012 my TV need repair and it's January 2013 and I still don't have a working TV. HDRepair who is the company Vizio contracts to do the repairs is even worse then Vizio the way they treat you and provide services. They have been to my home 3 times and my TV still is not repaired, and not once have I received a work order or piece of paper stating what the problem is or what is going on. Vizio and HDR are partners in crime with one another. I am hoping to sue them both.

The Lincoln Park campus of DePaul University has had a profound role in shaping key areas of Chicago. Nestled in an affluent urban residential area of the city, the overriding design concern was the sympathetic fit of the new Student Center with the classic style of the neighboring residential context. At the heart of the campus masterplan, the Student Center serves as a central unifying element of the expanding campus and represents the most recent step in transforming this location from its historic role as a commuter campus into a more traditional university with residential facilities and a wide range of amenities.

4 Life Lessons to Learn from Gardening
It's spring, the most hopeful time of the year. The other day, when I was taking a walk around the neighborhood, thrilled that I didn't need a coat and boots, I started thinking about all the things I need to do to get my garden ready. Although I enjoy gardening, and it would be impossible for me to endure summer without fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes and cucumbers, the whole process seemed a little daunting to me at first.
