Just a quick not to let you know that according to the paperwork I have received from my employer your collection department was notified that my check is already being garnished for 25% of my income for another company. The paperwork my employer returned and sent me a copy of states they notified you of this garnishment and your company is aware of the date when the garnishment will be completed in September. Your company garnished my bank account at Bank of America on 8-15-08 for 290.52 and a creating a 100.00 processing fee for the garnishment totaling 390.52.
. Washington Wage Garnishment
Garnishment is allowed under RCW 6.27.005. It is limited to greater of 25% of disposable earnings or thirty times the federal minimum wage. RCW 6.27.150 and 6.27.010
There are limits on how much your wages can be garnished. In addition to your regular wages or income, the following earnings may be garnished: commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, and periodic payments pursuant to a pension or retirement program. Tips, income tax refunds, unemployment and welfare benefits are not subject to wage garnishment.
Only your disposable income can be garnished. Disposable income is income left over after legally required deductions are taken out. These deductions include: Federal income taxes, State and city income taxes, State unemployment taxes, Social Security contributions, and State employee retirement deductions.
In addition only a portion of your disposable income may be garnished. The percentage is 25percent of your disposable income for the week or the amount by which your disposable income for the week exceeds 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage, which ever is less.
According to the law you have exceeded the 25% allowed garnishment, as the funds in my bank account was the money that was left after already being garnished for 25% from another company. I will not only be reporting you to the better business bureau but I will be looking into pursuing legal action against this company (BISHOP, WHITE, & MARSHALL P.S.)For violating the law and causing undue stress and anxiety and creating an unnecessary financial hardship. I also expect this company to not only refund the 290.52 that was taken from my bank account but to also pay the 100.00 processing fee incurred by this companies illegal actions. I also expect this company to make no further attempts to garnish my bank account until the garnishment period has ended that is already in effect as stated in the paperwork that was sent to you by my employer.
I have made every effort to settle this debt and had been making payments to this company monthly for almost a year,and showing good faith to settle this debt but due to a serious illness requiring hospitalization twice this year and was off work for over 3 months since January with a pic line to my heart to give myself daily iv antiboiotics.This company has advised me they have no interest in working with me to settle the debt since my recent payment did not prciocess due to me being hospitalized. I left a message as soon as i recieved thier call to arrange a payment,and they stated they do not have to return our calls and arrange payment as it is a curtosey and not required by law. and that their only concern is to get the clients their money and my issues or how what they are doing is going to impact my ability to pay my rent and buy groceries is not their problem. I am not only frustrated by the companies inability to work with me to settle this debt by a payment plan, but saddened by the way this company could care less they are creating a financial hardship for a military spouse. I have been forced to beg for money from family and friends, use military aid, and the local food bank.
I hope they appreciate the freedoms that my husband is fighting for.

The old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" should be updated to "a million gallons of waste-water saved through flow monitoring is worth millions of dollars, fewer headaches, and happy constituents."
The new phrase doesn't really roll off the tongue, but the idea makes sense.
Strictly speaking, hydraulic modeling involves using a computer program that will accurately predict the flow characteristics of wastewater through the pipelines of a sanitary sewer system. Weaknesses within the system are located by running simulations of design storm events (typically 5-or 10-year events) through the model to estimate the reaction to increased flows due to inflow and infiltration (I/I). To calibrate the model, engineers use flow data collected from various strategic locations.
The result is a report that can be used to assure the municipality or sewage district that the system meets current and future needs, or warns if parts of the system are under-capacity or require rehabilitation and/or replacement.
Looked at more broadly, however, "hydraulic modeling" also includes other supporting functions.
In hydraulic modeling, a key support function is flow monitoring (FM) done by public works personnel or—more commonly—a FM service retained by a consulting engineering firm under contract to the district. FM equipment is placed in selected manholes to measure and record the depth and velocity of the wastewater moving past that point to determine the flow rate. These measurements, combined with collected rainfall data, can be used to determine the change in flow rates and the intensity of I/I during rainfall events.
The responsibilities of the FM service typically end at providing the engineers with the level and velocity data. But for the consultants and their clients, stopping at FM alone often results in their missing out on a valuable opportunity, because in many cases a little extra investigative work could provide huge dividends. With a more comprehensive approach—bundling FM services with other inspection and facility assessment capabilities—it's often possible to pinpoint specific I/I sources during the initial phase of the project rather than years later, as often happens, when repairs will be far more difficult and costly.

Trump is the result of the "TEA PARTY" pushing for the Republican Party to move to the fringe right-wing. Bernie ie is the result of "OCCUPY WALL ST" pushing for the Democrat Party to move to the fringe left-wing. It going to be interesting to watch what happens this election !!!

Q1: I am using WinZip to compress the JPEGs, but size didn't change much.
A1: In order to compress your photos as much as possible without any loss of photo quality, WinZip should be configured to create Zipx files (best method compression). With WinZip, "Zipx, Best method" compression examines each file and selects the compression option most likely to supply the best compression results.
Q2: I open a password protected zip in WinZip, but the file list still be obtained?
A2: the behavior depends on the zip file encryption method, some of them are using password to encrypt the directory of files in the Zip (it is used to show the file list without unzipping), some of them do not encrypt the directory. For security, we recommend to avoid using file or folder name with confidential information.
Q3: Why WinZip Android needs to be granted with the "Device ID & call information" permission?
A3: It is the general app access permission on Android system. We use it because 1) to get the device information and apply to the feedback email automatically. 2) to use for the Google to track the user operations in WinZip at backend.
Very Bad it's truly bad for android..No Option for changes Themes(Maybe not important,but other app include this) .. and No Status Bar on Top.. Confusing Path Destination for Zipping.. it's better Winrar than Winzip..and Good for PC 😤 UNINSTALL..
Fatally flawed with not ASCII filenames It's 2016 and we take multi-encoding support for granted. The files from a subfolder all get extracted in the root folder, but they all have the same name, prefix of the subfolder name, so only the last one is kept without extension.
Usual WinZip story For years WinZip have charged greedy sums for their ancient freeware-simple WinZip application, and now they try to charge for the Android app (if you want it to do anything useful). Don't bother - avoid the greed and simply install the completely free and fully functional RAR by RARlabs.
Very Good, but.. The app is great, easy to use, and well-made, but, whenever I try to download zip files off chrome, it only opens WinZip and a small, corrupted chunk of the file downloaded. This forces me to uninstall WinZip, download the file, and then reinstall it in order to open it. Please help me fix this.
Good - but read. This is a really good app. People complaining about it slow or bad, sometimes its the phone or the device you're using. It works fine for me. I have a Samsung Galaxy E7 and it's good
Garbage Too slow of an interface. Rethink your approach to user friendly apps. I don't want to spend 8 hours going through 18gigs of files to find the one I want.... Complete sh*t.
What's New
Removed requirement for location permission
Create RAR and ZIP, unpack RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, 7z, ISO, ARJ archives.

(From me):
Hi, I just found I has been charged for membership fee for two months($29.9). Although I canceled it last month, the bill still appeared on this month's statement. Today, I had to call your service again.
Indeed, I am confused with this bill. I had never applied for your service and never received any "confirmation" or membership ID number.
So, I ask you to refund me $29.9 unless you can show the evidence that I did apply for your service.
Thanks for your consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
(From SimpleEscapes):
Dear Angela,
I apologize for any misunderstanding.
Your membership record indicates that you agreed to try Simple Escapes when you clicked on a banner ad presented on the web. Additionally, by accepting the trial membership, you agreed to be enrolled using the billing source that you authorized and that after the trial membership period, you would be billed the program fee. Offer details were presented to you on the offer page at the time of enrollment. A welcome email including your member id# and how to access your benefits was sent to you on 6/14/05.
We have processed the cancellation of your membership benefits as of 8/22/05.

(From me):
I still can not remember anything you just described.
Maybe I happened to click a banner, but I 'm always so cautious that I would never give an online company my credit card information to subscribe so-called service.
I would keep digging the truth.
Contact you later.
My wonders:
How did they get my credit card information?
Moreover, I just know that it seems that this company has two websites: http://www.dealpass.com and www.simpleescapes123.com, which really confused me.
If anyone could answer my questions, please tell me. Thanks in advance.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Few days later, I got the leasing in mail. The lease is not with Startupessentials, but with A-1 Leasing, the lease is non-cancelable, and it is 48 months. I feel cheated, but tried to do the business.
I followed their steps to go through the journeys, try to setup the web-site, and tried everything, but could not get the business going. Then I realized they are leasing me the laptop, and it they helped me setup a business can not make any money.
After struggled for a year, I realized I can not make any money from this business. Then I surfed the internet to see what other people are doing with this company. Then I read that people say they have sent the equipment back to A1 Leasing, and asked their bank to stop pay A1 Leasing.
I did the same thing. But last month, I got a letter from debt collection company, say I need to pay $6500.
Anyone there can help me fight back with A1 Leasing and the debt collection company?

Somehow his account was placed on hold after that because they needed more information (even though it was never mentioned to him). Now they have returned the check, and I have been charged a $15 return item fee. I called TCF and they said they won't reverse because this is my fault. How is it my fault if you place an account hold hold after a check is written? There was cash in his account, but you deposited the check even though it was on hold, and charged me $15 for it.
This is ridiculous, and this fee should be reversed immediately. As I mentioned I tried calling, but they refuse to do anything about it. This is just another ridiculous fee being charged.

The bank is KING, judge, jury and executioner..and the customers and general public are mere peasants and nothing but cash cows in the banks eyes.
With that said..if what you state is true...I would be very persistent with this bank..keep calling customer service and asking to speak to supervisors and managers....go to the bank relentlessly and keep asking to speak with the manager. I have a feeling you may get the fee returned.
It can't be your fault if going by the report you left. It would amount to nothing but petty theft if the bank does not make good.

You and many others on this forum will see the Hand of God bless His people to live in the Holy land that God has given them. Ezekiel 37-40 Those who bless Israel will be blessed by God, those who curse Israel or who try to take the Hebrew land will be punished. Soon you will see the wheat separated from the chaff and know Israel belongs to the Hebews, Israel is the apple of God Almighty's eye.

[b]Read Deuteronomy 11 [/b] "The state of Israel contradicts the Jewish belief that the messiah will come and afterwards all the Jews will return to the Holy Land. They will go there under the messiah's leadership. See Isaiah Chapter 11 which begins with a description of the messiah, and then says (v. 12), "And He (i.e. Hashem) will lift up a banner to the nations, and He will gather in the scattered of Israel, and the diaspora of Yehudah He will gather from the four corners of the earth." See also Rambam Melachim 11:1, "The king the messiah will eventually arise and restore the kingship of the house of David to its former status, build the Temple and gather in the exiles of Israel." There are many verses in the Bible that say clearly that G-d (through His emmisary, the messiah) will be the one Who redeems the Jewish people from exile and gathers them in. See Deuteronomy 30:3, Isaiah 27:12, 40:9, 41:14, 43:5-6, 52:12, 54:7, 56:8, Jeremiah 16:15, 23:3, 30:10, 31:9, 33:7, Ezekiel 11:17, 20:34, 28:25, 34:13, 37:21, 36:24.

Israel Announces West Bank Construction a Day After UN Vote
link to www.businessweek.com
Friday, 30 Nov 2012 06:04 PM
JERUSALEM — Israel approved the construction of 3,000 new homes in Jerusalem and the West Bank less than 24 hours after the U.N. General Assembly voted to recognize Palestine as a non-member observer state.
Israel also intends to move ahead on procedures necessary to plan for construction in a West Bank area between the Jewish settlement of Maaleh Adumim and Jerusalem, two government officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
The Palestinian Authority, the United Nations, and the United States consider all Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal.
The area between Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim is particularly sensitive because Israeli construction there may cut off Palestinians from their aspirational capital in east Jerusalem in a future peace accord.
Israel settlements and east Jerusalem construction "are counterproductive and make it harder to resume direct negotiations or achieve a two-state solution," White House Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said in an email Friday.
So who really wants the Middle East thrown into war?

Hi - I have installed WP to a sub directory on a Windows 2008 server (IIS7, supports permalinks). I can get to Admin ok and sign in - however the site itself gives me a browser message that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
Some searching around came up with putting
remove_filter('template_redirect', 'redirect_canonical'); in functions.php - this has worked and I can now use the site.
One small problem remains is that I cannot change the header image (I've set it to 2012 theme). I go to the page wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header and change things (even upload and apparently crop images) but when I click save changes nothing gets saved.
Oddly if I click customize and go to wp-admin/customize.php I CAN save and publish.
So far all the other admin options work just fine.
I can't help thinking that somehow the canonical redirects (or lack) is causing the header image problem.
Any ideas?
