Merchants Discover Misleading Credit Card Processing Fees
I want to thank Practical Ecommerce readers for their comments on my last article series, "How to Identify Dubious Credit Card Processing Fees." I also appreciate readers sending me suspicious provider activity, as I use those submissions to educate everyone.
Several merchants sent me their statements with suspicious fees. Some of the fees were actually legitimate. But several were dubious. Price increases hidden in the card company fees and inflated card companies fees are among the most misleading tactics used by some providers. They use these tactics because they presumably know they can tell the average merchant, "It's a Visa or MasterCard fee and we no control over it."
Below are some examples I found from the statements merchants sent me.
Rate Increase Hidden in Assessment Fees
Two merchants sent the same suspicious activity from their provider. Both merchants noted an increase in their assessment fees from March to April. One of the ways Visa, MasterCard, and Discover make money is by charging an assessments fee. They charge the fee to the provider and the provider should simply pass the actual fee through to the merchant. As noted in "Part 1" of my series in March, the assessments fee for Visa is 0.11 percent; Discover is 0.105 percent; and MasterCard charges 0.11 percent for sales below $1,000 and 0.13 percent for sales above $1,000.
Both merchants were charged those fees in March. However, these fees increased to 0.184 percent, 0.175 percent, 0.184 percent, and 0.217 percent in April. They both said their provider sent a notification citing card company changes causing fee increases. Also, one merchant stated that she called customer service personnel about the fee increase and felt as though the answer given was scripted.
Interestingly, the parent company of this provider was breached a couple years ago and fined around $100 million. Regardless, there have been no recent increases to the assessment fees and none of the recent card company changes justified a wholesale increase to this fee. In my view, this is simply a price increase hidden in the assessment fees.
Inflated FANF Fee
Visa charges merchant account providers a Fixed Acquirer Network Fee (FANF). This fee is different for brick-and-mortar businesses and ecommerce businesses. Brick-and-mortar businesses, with the exception of fast food restaurants, pay based on the number of locations. Ecommerce and fast food restaurants pay based on their volume. Here again, providers should simply pass-through the fee to the merchant. But some providers inflate the fee because they know the merchant will believe the increase comes from Visa.
One merchant sent me several statements. He didn't know why this fee would vary from $22.50 to $67.50 each month. In fact, for ecommerce merchants this fee can vary monthly because it is based on the Visa transaction volume each month. Also, understand that the fee you see on this month's statement is likely based on last month's volume.
What caught my eye was the fact that the fees were not whole numbers. An ecommerce merchant that processes $50 to $199 in the month will be charged $2.90. Other than that $2.90 amount, FANF fees are always whole numbers. For example, an ecommerce merchant that processes $8,000 to $39,999 should be charged $15.00. An ecommerce merchant that processes $40,000 to $199,999 should be charged $45.00. An ecommerce merchant that processes $200,000 to $799,999 should be charged $120.00, and so on.
This merchant was processing between $10,000 and $50,000 in Visa transactions each month. Therefore, his FANF fee should have been either $15.00 or $45.00 depending upon his volume for the month. However, the provider was charging $22.50 and $67.50 each month — increasing the FANF fee by roughly 50 percent.
Inflated International Fees
I listed the correct international fee in "Part 1" of the series in March. The card companies assess this fee when a customer uses a card issued outside of the U.S. to purchase goods and services in the U.S. For example, Visa charges an "Int'l Service Assessment Fee" of 0.40 percent and a "Visa Int'l Acquirer Fee" of 0.45 percent for these types of purchases.
But a merchant who contacted me was paying 0.90 percent for the Int'l Service Assessment Fee and 0.95 percent for the Visa Int'l Acquirer Fee. The MasterCard international fees were also inflated. A typical merchant may think the inflated amount is not significant. But it is. This ecommerce merchant was paying up to $10,000 per year extra because of these inflated international fees.
Inflated Access Fees
The number of inflated card company access fees that I saw is too numerous to list. Recall that one of the ways the card companies make money is by charging a per-transaction fee. Visa charges an "APF" fee of 1.95 cents for credit cards and 1.55 cents for debit cards. MasterCard charges a 1.95 cent "NABU" and Discover charges a 1.85 cent "Data Usage" fee. Some providers show these as an "Access fee" on the statement versus the card company verbiage. I've found that if the term "Access Fee" is used instead of the actual card company verbiage there is a higher probability (but not an absolute) that the fee is inflated. I've also seen the card company verbiage used and the fee is still inflated to as high as 10 cents.
- Remember, there are no enforced standards in the card processing industry.
- A provider that inflates card company fees is a good one to avoid.

We have recently purchased a new business and had to use a different Credit card processing company too. This company said that I would be charged the same fees, that they would be receiving from each credit card company, plus a $0.06 a card swip. Well I received my second bill, which is posted on there website that I login to see. The 1st month was only about 15 days on it, but when I went to look at my Dec. bill I notic on the site it wasn't letting me print it our this time was, which I thought odd. It wasn't until today I was able to look though it that I noticed that 12 times I had double charges on it.
Like a batches of cards for VS Signature Preferred Retailer Amount $476.42 Rate1.00% # of Transactions 62 Processing Fee $4.76, but right below it was the same batched VS Signature Preferred Retailer Amount $476.42, but the the Rate 2.10% # of Transactions 62 is the same and the Transaction Fee $0.10 Processing Fee $16.27. They did this in 11 other card groups. This made me look at my previous bill too and they did it there, but only on 9 groups double charging them differently.
When I started to figure each section I noticed that the figures where not correct, some might be right some over and some of them would be couple of penny's under. In all this don't seem right the company is TSY Merchant Solutions. What do you think?

An introduction to printing
My CUPS Runneth Over
Using the Common Unix Printing System, you can configure and manage your printer from the command line.
Printing in Linux has changed out of all recognition from the early days. Today, you no longer need a PostScript printer or to set the options for print laboriously by hand. Thanks to OpenPrinting's database, you can immediately find whether a given printer will work on Linux, and, thanks to CUPS (originally, the Common Unix Printing System), you can easily configure a printer with a GUI. As with most of the inner workings of a Linux system, however, working at the command line remains the easiest way to see what is actually going on when you print.
Before you dive into the subject of printing, a very brief reminder of the basics might be useful. Today, all major distributions install CUPS as a matter of course, as well as a number of printer drivers in the form of PostScript Printer Descriptions (PPDs), which are generally stored in /usr/share/ppd and consist of a series of formatting and operational options. Should you need more PPDs, look in your distribution's repositories for the HPLIP, Gutenprint, and Foomatic Database drivers, the basic sources for printer support.

Following a thorough investigation by the NFL, ESPN is reporting that several New Orleans Saints players and at least one assistant coach blatantly violated the NFL's bounty rule by paying players for vicious hits on opposing players.
Gregg Williams, defensive coordinator for the Saints from 2009-2011, has already apologized for his actions, and it's only a matter of time until Roger Goodell hits the Saints with some serious penalties.
But will a hefty fine and a few draft picks serve as an adequate punishment?
What about the players who might have been victims of these alleged "bounty" hits?
Could Williams face criminal charges for allegedly orchestrating an incentive program where his players would receive cash payments for inflicting violent hits on opposing players? Are the players who participated in this scandal criminally culpable?
Are civil charges looming over the Saints' organization? How much information did head coach Sean Payton possess? Was Saints ownership aware of these alleged bounty payments?
And lastly, who was affected by this scandal? How many players were seriously injured or had their careers cut short due to a violent hit from a Saints player looking for a quick cash score?

Changing the way a clip looks whether it be in regards to its general color structure or superimposing new elements altogether is often a desirable and essential aspect of video editing. Let's take a look at how to do that in Final Cut Pro X. I'm going to go into 9.4, my video effects sequence, and let's go ahead and open up the Effects browser. That is right here. And again, the Categories are listed along the left and the effects within those categories are along the right.
Notice that there are both video and audio effects, and in this movie we're going to be talking about Video Effects. So I'm going to just click on one of my clips, and if I come back over to the Effects browser and hover over one of the effects you can see in the viewer how it will look once the effect is applied to the specific clip. So what I want to do to this one actually is make it look like it's raining, so I'm going to just type in -- I know there is a rain effect and here we go, Rain.
I can do a couple of things, so this is kind of what it's going to look like once I apply it. I can either click and drag and release, or all I have to do if the clip is selected is just double-click, and it's applied. If you wanted to apply an effect to multiple clips in the sequence, no problem, you just select all of the clips that you want to apply it to and then double-click on the effect, and it's applied to everything. I'm going to undo that for now. So I'm going to click on my first clip here and open up the Inspector, Cmd+4, and let's adjust some basic parameters.
I'm going to, we can really make it rain, or I can dial it down a little bit. You can see this is the Density, let's sort of make it a little bit less. Colorize, I think probably may be right around there, and I think that's good. And again, if I wanted to change all of the clips in the same way I would just need to select all of the clips in the timeline that had the effect applied, and I could adjust all my parameters at once.
Now let's say I would like to add another effect to one or more clips. I certainly can. I want to add the Water Pane effect. So essentially I'm looking at this scene in the rain through a window, and so this time I'll just click and drag. And I have other fun parameters that I can change. If I come down to Water Pane, let's see, very good, and it's kind of take away most of that Tint Color.
I'm basically happy with that. So let's just play through it. I'm going to come back down to my sequence, and let's play. (video playing) So pretty good, pretty believable. If I like the adjustments that I made here, I can keep them or if I want to reset them to the default parameters I can click on this button here, and it will reset everything to the factory defaults. We can also delete these by just clicking here on the heading and pressing Delete and they are deleted one at a time, and now all the effects are gone.
Now I want to show you something else. Just for fun let's go ahead to this clip right here, and I'm going to apply Aged Paper, and maybe I'll adjust some of the parameters here, like so. a little antiquated look to this. And now let's add a Tint, okay, and just drag that on. So I'll come in and change this just a little bit, may be orangish.
So let's say that this is the look that I'm after for this clip. Now here's the thing. These two effects are producing this specific look, but the effects are processed from top to bottom so the paper is coming in first and then the tint. What happens if I switch the order that they are processed? Well, to change this order you just drag the effect up and down, like so. so if I release here now you can see it looks different. The Tint is applied first and then the Aged Paper is on top of that.
So I have changed the processing order, that's why things look different. I can change it back by simply dragging, and there we go. And speaking of achieving different looks you can always apply multiple effects and then just turn off or on these effects by clicking on this little blue light here just so you can kind of check out to see what each one of these effects is doing in isolation and then what it looks like together. Now one last thing I'd like to cover about clip effects is the ability to use them within an audition. We have covered auditions in a previous movie so you should already be pretty familiar with their purpose which is to provide a series of options for your edit without actually committing to those options, but in this case it's a little bit.
So let's take this third shot here and come up to Clip > Audition and Duplicate as Audition. Now you see that we have the little Audition spotlight up here in the upper left corner. So if I open my Audition you can see that I have two identical clips here. I'm going to apply an effect to this one. I also can duplicate as many times as I want. So maybe I want to duplicate it a third time, and on this one let's go ahead and apply an effect. And the reason that I don't see anything is that I have tint still in here, so you want to make sure to clear your results.
And let's see for this one, let's go ahead and add a Cross Hatch and for this one let's go ahead and add Film Grain. Okay, so I can just click on each one of these to try them out. You can notice that it is live switching here in the timeline. You can also use your Left and Right Arrow keys to switch back and forth between them so that you can find the right style, and again you're not committing to it. As soon as you press Done, and you say, what did I do, I don't want to do that just open up the Audition again and say, actually I want this one, and you're ready to go.
So Auditions are really great not only for different clips entirely to try out but also the same clip but with different video effects applied. So as you can see, it's really easy to quickly change the overall look of your video footage in your project. [00:6:28.00]

Most Helpful
Excellent chicken parm! I used Italian Breadcrumbs for the breadcrumbs, marinara sauce because I didn't have spaghetti sauce, and chicken tenders. Thanks for another winner Vicki!
I will look no further for the perfect parmesan chicken--this one is it! I used 8 thawed chicken breast cutlets. These cutlets can usually be found in the frozen section of your grocery store in 2.5 lb bags. I like them because they are bigger than chicken tenders but smaller than chicken breasts and they cook very quickly/evenly. I wish I had made more because between my 3 boys and husband, there was none left! Everyone gave it 5 stars, which is rare in this family. Usually someone doesn't like a recipe as much as another person. In this case, everyone loved it. This is a quick, one dish meal that is super simple to clean up too. Thanks so much for a wonderful dinner tonight, looneytunesfan!
My husband loved this!!! It was very quick and easy. I used chicken tenders and they seemed to cook a little quicker. Wonderful meal!

SEATTLE - Machinists in the Puget Sound are under pressure to accept a Boeing contract offer that moves them away from pension plans, and much of that pressure is coming from local officials who still have pension plans.
On Monday, several political leaders gathered in Everett, Wash., to talk about the importance of having the Machinists accept a new contract this week. Of the six local leaders who called on the Machinists to accept the deal, one is already drawing pension payments while five others are expected to do so upon retirement.
Local union leaders are recommending a no vote on the contract because they feel it has too many concessions. A particular sticking point has been Boeing's insistence that workers move from a traditional pension plan to a defined-contribution retirement savings plan.

The 31-year-old Roethlisberger has been sacked 375 times in his career and 31 times this season, which is second to Ryan Tannehill, who's been sacked 35 times (even though he's protected by bullies).
This Sunday, Roethlisberger will be up against the NFL's third-best pass rush. The Buffalo Bills have 29 sacks and are led by defensive end Mario Williams with 11 sacks. Williams will line up over Kelvin Beachum, a shaky proposition even when he's not injured and missing practice, as he was Wednesday.
Still, Roethlisberger just laughed at being called "the most sacked active quarterback in the NFL" by a Buffalo reporter.
"It is what it is. I feel good," ROethlisberger said. "I feel healthy and you've got to play every play like it's your last."
Roethlisberger also has the second-best yards per attempt (7.9) of any active quarteback, but that won't do him much good when defensive tackles Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams add to their 8 combined sacks from the middle.
"They've got a great front seven and a good pass rush," Roethlisberger said. "We have to get the ball out, and if we have some play-action or some deeper passes, still kind of have that sense of urgency of getting rid of the ball."
The Bills have more than a talented defensive line. Their secondary is full of high-pedigreed players, and their middle linebacker, Kiko Alonso, is a Rookie of the Year Candidate.
On offense, the Bills have explosive young skill players, a solid nucleus of young linemen, and a rookie first-round quarterback, E.J.Manuel, who's learning as he goes.
The Bills might only be 3-6, but a take-off is expected soon. Much of the credit would go to GM Doug Whaley, who's been with the Bills since 2010 after leaving his job as pro personnel director for his hometown Steelers.
"Doug is a sharp football guy," said Mike Tomlin. "He was always highly professional, smart, willing to ask critical questions. I'm happy for him and his success up there."
Tomlin was asked if he "had an inkling he was on a path to be a GM?"
"Certainly," Tomlin said. "That was a goal of his, and not only that, his daily actions worked him towards that end. Usually guys in this business get what they deserve, and he obviously has done that."
Rookie safety Shamarko Thomas is coming off a season-high 8 tackles as the deep strong safety in the Steelers' quarters package. He played 33 snaps against the Patriots, up from his average of 25 per game.
His coach last year at Syracuse is now the Bills' head coach, Doug Marrone.
"He was outstanding for us," said Marrone. "Someone who has really overcome a lot of adversity in his life, and as far as a football player that's what he is. I think that he represents what it means to play.
"I remember talking to him in his senior year and he had an injury to his shoulder; one that he could've continued playing with or could've gotten surgery. I remember when I brought him in and I knew that he had a future in the NFL. And when I spoke to him I said, 'Listen, I know you have a future in the NFL and I would understand, but I want to make sure you make a decision: Do you want to have surgery now or do you want to wait until after the season?' He said, "Coach, I'm finishing the season and we're going to a Bowl." I was like 'Whoa.'"
As expected, ILB Sean Spence was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and will continue his comeback from knee and nerve damage next spring. ... Missing Wednesday's practice were CB Ike Taylor and ILB Vince Williams, who suffered concussions Sunday. ... LT Beachum, RT Marcus Gilbert and C Fernando Velasco were limited in practice because of injuries. ... G David DeCastro and WR Markus Wheaton returned to practice.

Colloquium Series
Public Folklore, Public Universities, and Public Service
Friday, September 213:30 - 5:00 pm Performance and Lecture Hall800 N. Indiana Ave.Bloomington, IN
A joint presentation by Brent Björkman, Director of
the Kentucky Folklife Program at Western Kentucky University, and Jon Kay,
Director of Traditional Arts Indiana at Indiana University.
Public folklorists often work to document, support
and serve the needs of various cultural groups and "traditional" artists.
Frequently connected to arts agencies, museums or other government sponsored
organizations, these scholars employed in the public sphere regularly engage in
preservation, conservation and presentation projects that share diverse
cultural expressions with constituents.
In recent years there has been a move of folklore programs once tied to
state-sponsored institutions to new homes within universities. In this talk, Kay and Björkman will discuss
this trend and share their experiences as folklorists who have worked in a
variety of nonprofit, government and academic settings.

There are a few things you should know about Hewlett self storage before you begin your search. The pricing and availability of storage units in Hewlett will depend on several factors such as the real estate climate, the number of people moving into or throughout the area, housing conditions in the city, and the general wealth and prosperity of the area. Using US Census data, we've pieced together a better picture of those factors as they relate to self storage in Hewlett.
Housing unit occupancy can give us an idea of what the demand is like for living and storage space in Hewlett. If there's low vacancy rates in Hewlett housing, there's likely low vacancy at Hewlett storage facilities. This would allow storage facilities in Hewlett to charge higher prices for their units. 5.9% of housing units in Hewlett are vacant according to the US Census, while 94.1% are occupied. The average occupancy rate in US cities is approximately 89%, which is lower than the rate in Hewlett, suggesting that storage unit inventory might also be tighter in Hewlett. With fewer units available, storage facilities in Hewlett may charge higher prices.

Editors Guild Expresses Concern About Court Gag Order
By IANS - NEW DELHI
Published: 17th January 2014 08:40 PM
Last Updated: 17th January 2014 08:40 PM
The Editors Guild of India has expressed serious concern about a high court gag order on coverage of allegations of sexual harassment against a former Supreme Court judge and called it a "mockery of the rule of law".
The Editors Guild of India said that it notes with serious concern the gag order issued by the Delhi High Court restraining all newspapers and media organisations from a complete and professional coverage of the allegations of sexual harassment made by a former intern against Justice Swatanter Kumar when he was a sitting judge of the Supreme Court.
"The order makes a mockery of the rule of law and the open and fair justice system by setting different and overly restrictive standards for the coverage of such allegations against judges," said a statement.
The Delhi High Court Thursday restrained the media from further publishing or telecasting allegations of sexual harassment against former Supreme Court judge Swatanter Kumar by a former law intern. The media was directed to limit reporting to court orders only.
The guild said "it is strange that a high court should pass such a restraining order in relation to the coverage of the contents of an affidavit submitted to the Chief Justice of India even when the Supreme Court is seized of the matter".
The group of top editors said that in the context of the current national debate on protecting women against sexual harassment, "cases of this type raise important public issues of how to facilitate and deal with complaints by harassed women who may feel intimidated even while protecting reputations in the face of possible baseless and vexatious allegations".
"Complete and fair professional coverage of the case without critical information being held back from the public is vital for an informed debate," it added.
The guild went on to say that several cases of sexual harassment and offences are reported across the country routinely with no prejudice to either the accused or to the judicial process, and to "single out judges for special protection is invidious".

West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin says rescue crews have started drilling to release gases at a mine in an attempt to make it safe to search for four miners who are missing.
Manchin said Tuesday that rescue workers won't be able to explore the area until they are able to test the underground air
for dangerous gases.
Chris Adkins, the chief operating officer for Massey Energy Co., says he expects the drilling to be complete as early as noon Wednesday. The underground explosion Monday killed 25 miners.
Crews bulldozed an access road so they could drill 1,000 feet into the earth to release gases and make it safe to try to find the four. They were feared dead after the Monday afternoon blast at a mine with a history of violations for not properly ventilating highly combustible methane.
Rescuers were being held back by poison gases that accumulated near the blast site, about 1.5 miles from the entrance to Massey Energy Co.'s sprawling Upper Big Branch mine.

NPR's Brian Naylor Discusses The Mine Explosion
25 Miners Perish In West Virginia Explosion
Manchin said it could be Wednesday night before the first ventilation hole can be drilled to try to rescue four miners thought to be trapped in the Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, W.Va.
"It's a slow process," he said. "It's just going to be a slow process."
Search teams were deep in the mine at about 2 a.m. Tuesday when they were forced back by intolerable levels of highly combustible methane and toxic carbon monoxide gases. Crews planned to bore holes more than 1,000 feet through the coal seam to vent the gases that have built up after the blast Monday afternoon.
The cause of the explosion — the worst U.S. mining disaster in decades — is still not known, but safety officials say the mine, owned by Massey Energy Co., has been cited in the past for failing to properly vent methane.
Kevin Stricklin, head of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, said that "all explosions are preventable" if the proper precautions are taken.
Worst U.S. Coal Mine Disasters In 50 Years
1968 — Explosion kills 78 people at Consol No. 9 in Farmington, W.Va.
1970 — Explosion kills 38 people at Finley Coal Co.'s Nos. 15 and 16 mines in Hyden, Ky.
1984 — Fire kills 27 people at Emery Mining Corp.'s Wilberg Mine in Orangeville, Utah.
1976 — Explosion kills 26 people at Blue Diamond Coal Co.'s Scotia Mine in Oven Fork, Ky.
2010 — Explosion kills at least 25 people at Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch Coal Mine in Montcoal, W.Va.
"It's quite evident that something went very wrong to have this kind of explosion," he said, adding, "We will leave no stone unturned to find out what was going on."
Officials acknowledged that the chance of finding survivors was low but that they had not given up hope.
Nine rescue teams were at work trying to extract the miners. Each chamber in the mine is supposed to be equipped with rescue breathing equipment and stocked with enough food and water to last for four days.
Regulators believe a buildup of methane caused the explosion, and the concentration of the gas makes it impossible to continue the search, Stricklin said. Asked exactly where in the mine the explosion took place, he said, "That's not something that we're looking at right now. We're focused on a rescue operation."
President Obama offered his condolences to the families of the miners killed and praised rescuers who he said are "searching tirelessly and courageously."
"The federal government stands willing to offer any assistance necessary," Obama said.
Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV) said the people of his state are "strong and united in prayer."
A total of 31 miners were in the area during a shift change when the blast occurred. Stricklin said some may have died in the blast and others may have perished after breathing the gas-filled air. Of the 25 people who were killed, Manchin said 11 bodies had been recovered and identified, but the remaining 14 have not.
"Everybody's just heartbroken over this and the impact on these families," said mine safety director Joe Main, who was headed to West Virginia.
In a statement early Tuesday, Massey Chairman and CEO Don Blankenship offered his condolences to the families of the dead miners. "Tonight we mourn the deaths of our members at Massey Energy," he said.
Blankenship told The Associated Press that a carbon monoxide warning was the first hint of trouble at Upper Big Branch. He said crews were checking on the alarm when they discovered that an explosion had occurred deep inside the mine.
Massey Energy, based in Richmond, Va., ranks among the nation's top five coal producers, and its mines have seen their share of safety violations and accidents.
In 2006, two miners were killed in a fire at a mine run by a Massey subsidiary in Stollings, W.Va. The subsidiary, Aracoma Coal, was cited for 25 violations, including several designated as "reckless disregard" related to inadequate ventilation of dangerous mine gases and other problems. Aracoma later agreed to pay a record $2.5 million in fines as a result of the investigation and an additional $1.7 million to the widows of those killed in the accident.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines have been assessed for similar violations at Upper Big Branch, where three workers have died in the past dozen years. A laborer was crushed to death in 1998 when an improperly welded steel support gave way. Three years later, a continuous mining machine operator died after a roof collapsed. In 2003, an electrician was killed after touching an exposed cable carrying 480 volts used to power shuttle cars.
Davitt McAteer, who led the MSHA under President Clinton, said Tuesday that "we're not doing enough" to make the nation's mines safe. Most coal mines, he said, don't have adequate communications systems and don't take proper precautions against methane buildup.
The West Virginia disaster is the nation's worst coal mine accident since 27 people were killed in a Utah mine in 1984.
In 2006, 12 miners died after an explosion in the Sago Mine in Tallmansville, W.Va. The following year, six miners and three rescue workers were killed when a wall collapsed in the Crandall Canyon Mine in Emery County, Utah.
NPR's Brian Naylor reported from Montcoal, W.Va.; Erica Peterson of West Virginia Public Radio reported from Charleston, W.Va.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Spadari al Duomo Milan
Good hotel!
I have to disagree with the previous review. We stayed at the Spadari al Duomo on October 4th, 2004 and had no problems with noise whatsoever. We had a nice end unit, triple room that overlooked the street and did not notice any noise.
The Spadari although not inexpensive is a good choice in Milan. While Milan is probably my least favorite Italian city, the hotel is a good pick. Rooms are clean and spacious, staff is helpful, the location is great and the breakfast is the best we had.
Stay here if you have good earplugs.
I was prepared to love this place. And, indeed, when you arrive everything looks and feels great. Then, the noise begins. "Tissue paper walls" never had a true meaning for me until I stayed at this hotel. You can hear EVERYTHING! By this, I mean, if someone sneezed on the fifth floor, you could hear it in the lobby. Obviously, one doesn't go to Milan for the hotel, and, yes I was out every day. But, when I needed to relax and sleep, the noise was unbearable and, I am not exaggerating. During this trip to Europe, I stayed in four hotels. This is the only one where noise was a problem. The staff was nice enough to move me. For one night it was quiet--then, when the hotel filled up, it was noisy again. The Spadara also needs more front desk staff. The breakfast was the BEST I had in Europe. The lobby bar is great, and serves a nice antipasto with a drink. The rooms are large, nicely decorated, and very clean. And, you can't beat the location.
Deserves another star!
We spent two nights here in early September, based on some of the reviews. It lived up to every one of them. The neighborhood is great, you can walk to La Scala, the Duomo, the Galleria and the Armani store! This hotel serves the best breakfast I've ever had in Italy! The staff is very friendly. The rooms are a good size, the curtains have a blackout lining that is so important when you first arrive, and the bathrooms are just beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again.
Stay Here Before They Get Discovered!
We stayed for 2 nights in 9/04 and could not be happier with our choice. The location is perfect right next to Peck which is a gastronomic institution not to be missed. 2 blocks from the Duomo and an easy walk to everything else. The hotel is chic, and comfortable. Our room was exceptional with enclosed shower, big comfy bed, and very quiet location. The staff is outstanding, especially the English speaking ones who are prepared to answer all of your questions. Amazingly, this place has not received a review from the major travel books. so get there and enjoy it before every one else does. Highly recommended.
We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August and would definitely stay here again. The location is fantastic and the staff are really helpful. They gave us advise on Restaurants, bars, trams, excursions and even looked up the train times for us on the internet.
The room was very spacious and clean with a very nice bathroom. The breakfast here was also the best that we experienced in the 4 hotels that we stayed in on our trip, plenty of choice and any hot items are cooked to order so it was all fresh.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends!
Stayed for 1 night in april -04 thanks for the good reviews on this site. The hotel has a great location. The staff is extremly friendly and very helpfull. They really work with their service. The room was nice. It had seen it's best days but the standard is still high. Good breakfast with fresh fruite included. The hotel has a cool Italian art deco design. Recommended.
Spadari al Duomo is a great value.
We really had a great stay at the Spadari al Duomo. The location can't be beat, the hotel is small and very personal. It's beautifully designed and very comfortable. The staff is extremely helpful and pleasant.There is a subway stop a block away and a taxi stand across the street. Also the tram stops across the street. The specialty food shop, Peck, is next door and their over the top, elegant, expensive and fabulous restaurant, Cracco Peck is across the street. The staff at Spadari al Duomo was able to make a last minute reservation at this usually unavailable restaurant. They also printed out a list of events in Milan, from the internet. I will definitely visit the Spadari al Duomo again.
A gem
We thought the Spadari was a delightful hotel, charming in an understated way, with friendly service, spotlessly clean, fabulous breakfast included in the rate. We just can't say enough nice things about it, perhaps most of all that the location is perfect for shopping, sightseeing and roaming the lovely historic district. We'll never stay anywhere else in Milano again!
A Marvelous Find
We go to Milan annually & happened upon the Hotel Spadari upon our frequent walks around the city. It is centrally located, intimate, immaculate & will serve you an American breakfast featuring eggs cooked any way you like (which is unusual for hotels in Italy). It's the only hotel we've been to which served us an omlette cooked to order, & we travel extensively in Italy since my husband's family lives there. The rooms are well appointed with nice bathrooms. We were disappointed the last time we were in Milan to find this hotel closed for rennovations.
Excellent location, friendly staff, & they do not have a lot of fuss & show like some of the others which have the same central location. And needless to say, you'll pay for that fuss & show.
Wonderful little hotel
I can't say enough good things about this hotel. It is lovely, great location, and has a very nice staff. It is small and intimate - so don't expect a large "Four Seasons" type of place. Do expect a great welcome and a lovely stay. If you are going to Milan, stay here. Email them to ask about special rates.

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly.

Slogan for World Day to Combat Desertification Selected
February 2013: The slogan for¬†the 2013 World Day to Combat Desertification, which is celebrated annually on 17 June,¬†will be 'ÄúDon't let our future dry up.'ÄĚ Events to mark the¬†Day will focus on themes related to¬†drought and water scarcity.
The theme was selected to coordinate with the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation. Recognition of the Day is organized by the Secretariat of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD).
The UNCCD reports that the goal of the 2013 World Day to Combat Desertification will be to "create awareness about the risks of drought and water scarcity in the drylands and beyond," and related activities will seek to call attention to the importance of sustaining healthy soils as part of the post Rio+20 agenda and the post-2015 development agenda.
Activities to mark the Day will begin during the High-level Meeting on National Drought Policies, which will convene from 11-15 March 2013, in Geneva, Switzerland. This event is being organized by the UNCCD, World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), among others. [UNCCD information about 2013 World Day to Combat Desertification] [International Year of Water Cooperation]

"The Shadowless" reps an ambitious adaptation of a multilayered novel by Hasan Ali Toptas.
Unfolding in a timeless village rife with supernatural beliefs, mysterious disappearances and untimely deaths, "The Shadowless," Turkish helmer Umit Unal's mesmerizing fourth feature, reps an ambitious adaptation of a multilayered novel by Hasan Ali Toptas, dubbed "the Kafka of the East." Pic's more akin to an Anatolian "Twin Peaks" or an East Euro arthouse item than it is to most current Turkish cinema. This ambiguous, gorgeously crafted item did limited biz on narrow release in February, but seems destined for fests, plus longer life in local ancillary. Its ravishing formal qualities should appeal even to auds unfamiliar with the novel.
With 22 speaking roles (plus a silent cameo by author Toptas) and a nonlinear, episodic narrative creating the atmosphere of a waking dream, the plot is difficult to synopsize. The pic's themes include the city vs. the provinces, common sense vs. superstition, the modern, centralized state vs. rural traditionalism, and the nature of creativity.
Story begins as an Istanbul barber (Taner Birsel) arrives in a remote, unnamed village. Since the previous barber, Jingle Nuri (Fuat Onan) went missing years before, the pompous mukhtar (Selcuk Yontem) encourages him to move into Nuri's shuttered shop.
Meanwhile, the mukhtar has problems when Guvercin (Bigkem Karavus), the burg's most beautiful girl, suddenly vanishes. The observant village guard (producer Hakan Karahan) suspects a gentle dreamer (Ertan Saban), whose mother (Arsen Gurzap) doesn't take kindly to his being roughed up.
Elsewhere, the Imam beds Nuri's abandoned wife (Zeynep Kumral) and the guard maintains a long-running affair with the married Hacer (Tales Farzan). The tale of Dazzling Fatma (Ozay Fecht) and Hamdi the Soldier (Yigit Kusbeygi) recounted by the village sage (Aydemir Akbas) adds to the air of sexual debauchery.
In a place where most inhabitants believe in the power of spells, perhaps the most unsettling episode involves teen Ramazan (Serkan Senalp), the unlucky pawn in a plot to demonstrate a neighbor's supernatural abilities. The eerie mood is further fostered by the moans of the mukhtar's unseen son, who's kept locked in a cellar.
Helmer Unal ("Istanbul Tales") considers his screenplay to rep one of many possible readings of the novel while remaining faithful to its spirit. His compelling adaptation compounds the sense of mystery and introduces an element of surprise by keeping a key revelation for the end. Fine ensemble cast (mostly stage thesps) seems entirely in tune with Unal's intentions.
Stylistically, the story's surreal atmosphere is balanced by the plausibility of the characters and locations. Although the time period is unspecified, realistic art direction and costumes suggest late '60s or early '70s in a working village. Gokhan Atilmis' expressionist lensing and Candan Ercetin's moody score lead a topnotch tech package.

Holly Isaacs' 3-pointer with 54.7 seconds remaining and two free throws with 24.1 seconds to play sparked a 9-0 run by West Texas A&M's Lady Buffs as they rallied to defeat Northeastern State, 62-55, on Thursday night at Jack Dobbins Field House in Tahlequah, Okla.
The Lady Buffs, who won their ninth straight game, improved to 15-1 for the first time in 13 years.
They were trailing 51-45 with 6:40 to play but outscored the RiverHawks 17-4 the rest of the way. During that span, the Lady Buffs sank 10 straight free throws, including eight by Joni Unruh, who finished 12-of-14 from the line as she converted her final 11 attempts.
Northeastern State (10-4), which saw its four-game win streak snapped, was leading 55-53 with 1:54 to play, but Jasmine Webb missed both ends of a two-shot foul situation.
Then with 32.6 seconds to go and trailing 58-55, Northeastern's Alix Perkins missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Isaacs' two free throws gave WT a 60-55 lead.
Isaacs scored 14 points to lead the Lady Buffs, while Unruh and Megan McLain each had 12. Jamie Simmons added 11 points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
The RiverHawks were led by Perkins, who scored a game-high 19 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Sarah Millar had 10 points.

In the menu screen, my ears were constantly assaulted by a massive feedback loop, which sounded like a giant bell being dropped off a cliff. I fixed the sound by messing with my sound car'd settings, which I shouldn't have to do at all.
When I got around to actually PLAYING, the game wouldn't allow me to play for more than 30 seconds before just instantly crashing to the desktop. No warning, no information on what the problem was, but every single time I tried to play the game, it crashed in under a minute. So yes. This game is... literally... unplayable. I cannot play it.
Don't bother with this one. It is easily the worst port I have tried, because it doesn't work. I checked the program version, it's 1.0. They didn't even bother to make a patch for the game.… Full Review »

Other than the random crash and sound issues mentioned by others, there is also a bug that classic skin will not be unlocked via facebook sharing.
Yes, there exists a in-game element which require players' access to facebook, which is already very offending. However, this won't even work.
They just patch the game to encrypt game data so that modders can't develop mod easily for this game, but just fail to fix those annoying bugs which affect players' enjoyment. What a shame!
Also, this game is plagued with tons of DLCs. Expect for paying money to just unlock a new game mode or skin which already exists in the game since the launch.… Full Review »

How to Finance Your Dream Car
After a lot of research and test driving multiple options, you have finally found your dream car but what happens if you can't afford to purchase your car outright? If you are considering a car loan in New Zealand, here are some top tips to get the best deal when it comes to car finance.
Here are golden rules to qualify for a
car finance
Choose the car model wisely
It may come as a surprise to you to know that different car brands have different rates when qualifying for a car finance loan. Banks offer higher interest loans for those brands or models that are outdated or less popular than those which are in the premium car segment category.
The segment and the age of the cars are some key deciding factors in setting the rates of interest on your auto finance loan as well as your location in NZ. This means if you buy
used cars for sale in Hamilton
you are going to get a different rate of interest on the loan than if you buy used car for sale elsewhere in the country.
Time your request
The timing the your request for an car loan is an important factor in determining the conditions of the loan. Rather than approaching a bank at the beginning of the month approaching the same bank at the end of the month will often yield better results. At the end of the month, banks may be falling short of target so they will give you a car finance loan at a cheaper rate than they would at the beginning of the month. So if you want discounted rates of interest and better conditions make sure you pick the best time to go to your bank.
Consider higher down payments
Only being able to afford the minimum amount of down payment on a loan for a used second hand car in the Waikato, may mean that you will have to pay a an excessive amount of interest on your loan. does not go hand in hand. This is not beneficial for you in the long run so if you can afford to pay a higher down payment you will end up paying lower EMI's over a period of time.
Prefer public over private sector banks
Opting for a auto finance loan with public sector bank can help you to save a lot of money over a period of time. Irrespective of if you opt for a floating or a fixed car loan, the interest rates on the car loans are going to be much lower compared to a private sector bank. What's more you are even probably going to receive discounted rates and benefits.

In recent years, due to the political situation in Israel, Israeli diamond dealers have been travelling abroad more often in order to meet with their clients.
As a result, there has been a direct increase in the number of losses and thefts involving Israeli diamonteers outside the country and new problems are being faced by both Israeli and non-Israeli insurers which provide coverage to these diamonteers.
by Adv. Peggy Sharon Adv. Irit Shapira Webber and Adv. Deror Lin
When filing a motion for affirmation of an arbitration award, while a motion requesting enforcement against a party that was not a party to the arbitration is not allowed (according to the PECDAR ruling), a motion for enforcement against a party which changed its name may be accepted by the Court.

Court dealt in April 2015 with this question (RCA 3973/10 David Stern vs.

Liquid metal induction heating modelling for cold crucible applications
Bojarevics, Valdis and Pericleous, Koulis A. (2007) Liquid metal induction heating modelling for cold crucible applications. International Journal of Materials and Product Technology, 29 (1-4). pp. 70-83. ISSN 0268-1900 (doi:10.1504/IJMPT.2007.013131)Full text not available from this repository.
The time dependent numerical model of cold crucible melting is based on the coupled electromagnetic, temperature and turbulent velocity field calculation accounting for the magnetically confined liquid metal shape continuous change. The model is applied to investigate the process energy efficiency dependence on the critical choice of AC power supply frequency and an optional addition of a DC magnetic field. Test cases of the metal load up to 50 kg are considered.
