SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- I had loaded money onto a prepaid card and entered the Vons to use the ATM. I did not notice that the machine was out of service and stuck my card in the slot. There was nothing there to catch it and it fell in behind the wall. I looked through the slot and could see someone back there. A shrill voice angrily ordered me to get my fingers out of the being serviced slot because the machine was being serviced.
I literally took 2 steps to the service desk and explained what had happened when a short, unattractive woman emerged out of nowhere. Without identifying herself, or asking who I was, she hatefully explained that she could not give me back the card that she had just seen me drop 5 seconds earlier. It is important to reiterate that the ATM was not in service. It did not confiscate my card. SHE did! She absolutely refused to give it back, citing bank policies and federal regulations that apply to cards that are retained by ATMs, although this was not the case!
I demanded that she return my property, but she took great pleasure in using a taunting, teasing tone that would remind you of a bratty child playing keep away on a playground, to tell me I had "no options." It wasn't until I reminded her that one of my options was to come across that counter and get it myself that she threatened to call the police, which would have saved me a phone call to them to report what she had done to me! I left and spent 3 hours on the phone trying to explain the situation to robotic customer service "specialists," and get some resolution.
I finally spoke with a member of US bank security who listened and told me that the manager was clearly in the wrong and assured me that she had the authority to instruct the manager to return the card, provided that proper ID of the cardholder could be verified.
She promised to contact me first thing in the morning. Of course I did not hear from her. When I called her, she made no apologies for the fact that the manager had already destroyed the card. This was a prepaid card, so I did not have any other record of the number on the card. The card issuer will not tell me the number for security reasons.
I am out $200 that there is no way to recover because of this. What's worse is that I had to send my 3 kids to bed hungry because, "the lady who works at the bank stole all daddy's money." This lousy excuse for a manager should be fired for misrepresenting the bank's policy, and brought up on criminal charges for stealing my property. I found her and every other bank employee I spoke with to be aloof, misinformed, spiteful, and dumb.
A bunch of impish, overgrown children dressing up in business attire to "play bank." Corrupt, heartless shells of human beings who are very dangerous in positions where they have the power to make decisions that affect people. They should be punished mercilessly!
New in town, I went to a branch of US Bank to deposit my fiance's check into his account. He worked out of state and the checks come in the mail. So obviously he couldn't sign it. I had done this for him many times since he had been away. His paycheck is direct deposit, but the checks he gets for mileage, per dime, etc, the company mailed those. This was one of those checks.
The teller first started to take care of the deposit, then suddenly stopped, held it up, and started waving it around! She was telling me about how due to the patriot act she can't deposit it without a signature. I had never heard of this. I asked when this started, she said "Today, just a few minutes ago!" HA! I replied is asking if I was the first one. She said yes. It got worse from there. She was loud and the man behind me was peering over my shoulder to see what was happening as she expressed he 'concern' over the fact that this check could be fake. The whole bank was looking on. I was bright red in the face and my tongue was on the floor from my biting it so hard.
The amount in the account opened many years earlier stood at a balance 10 times more than the check I wished to deposit. He also had a savings account, and a business account, and a credit card. All in good standing. Anyway... She DID deposit it. So uhhhhh.... why would she do that if it was so called illegal as she put it.
I wrote to US Bank asking if there were any "rules, laws, regulations, standards or practices which prohibit a check being deposited without an endorsement?" They told me that although there are none, "US Bank has the right to refuse a deposit for any or no reason." For "NO REASON" at all they can refuse our money to go into the bank? WOW! That is scary. They said he should put a note in the account that I can deposit his checks. Why, if there is no law against it!?
What makes this scene worse is that a couple months earlier, another US Bank teller in the town we lived in before the move had questioned cashing a check from my finance because my name and his signatures were in different handwriting.
Well, yeah, I wrote my name it. If I was a CROOK, do you really think I would stand in front of the teller and write my name on a blank check?! She called my fiance on the phone, and then was having his signature card faxed over. So if you call him and he says no problem, why would you also need to fax his signature over? Not to mention that I went in at least once a week to deposit checks for him while he was out of town. (I guess this teller hadn't heard of the "Patriot Law' that prohibits THAT!)
I was at the far end merchant counter and she was at the other end, I could hear her and so could everyone else, talking about her suspicions etc. She talked to the account holder, what else did she want!? The whole place watched me as I walked out. She did not cash the check.
I am just a regular person, I dress neat, I'm clean, polite. I was in customer service myself for 30 years. I smile at people. I guess I either have a sign on my forehead that says 'abuse me' or I have a knack for finding these little people with big power.
I later called the manager and we had a nice talk. He told me that whenever I had business at the bank, come right to his desk. So I did. We had some nice talks where I told him that she might need some training to learn tact and diplomacy. And not to talk so loud. He agreed.
Anyway, as for the other branch in our new town, I waited patiently for the day when my fiance was working back in town and we went to US Bank together to close the accounts. I told the woman why, and about the experience. Guess what! She was there that day and overheard the whole thing. She had a talk with the teller right after I had gone because the teller was wrong to tell me all that. She SHOULD HAVE walked right up while I was at the counter. She tried to talk us out of closing the accounts, but our mind was made up. So we opened an account at a local credit union. Anyway... I stay away from the bank.
WASHINGTON -- My husband and I have banked with US Bank now for nearly 6 years. We have had a few minor problems over the years, ranging from our debit cards being frozen the 1st time I purchased something online (they wanted to be sure the purchase came from us) to money being taken from our personal account in error to pay someone else's car note (they returned the money immediately and of course apologized, with the explanation being that it was a miss-key error when entering the bank account info).
3 years ago, my husband started his own business (sole proprietorship) and opened a business account with US Bank. Last July, he merged with another businessman and changed his business type (S Corp) and therefore his business account type changed, which meant he had to close out the 1st business account and start a new one. He had one outstanding check that needed to go through in the amount of 8 dollars and some change, so he left that much in his account and started the new one. He was off by ONE PENNY.
On February 17th, 2007, I had our personal account pulled up online and was paying bills, when I noticed that a charge for $391 and some change had been processed on 2/13/07 with the reason "overdraft recovery" listed. I was puzzled because I have not had any overdraft fees on our personal account since we opened it.
I called Customer Service and had to hang up on the first person I talked to b/c she kept telling me she couldn't even see the charge but would open a "research form" for me and someone would call me back in 3-5 business days. I called back and spoke to another CS rep who seemed to be very helpful. While she couldn't tell me why the charge was on our personal account, she could tell me that it had come from one of the local branches in our city.
I immediately called the branch address she gave me and was informed that there was no one to talk to - it was Saturday and they were closing in one hour - and the only 'banker' onsite was with a client. I asked for a callback immediately and was assured I would at least get a call that day, even if I couldn't come in to speak directly to the banker.
No callback occurred that day or the following Monday or Tuesday, so I again called their nationwide Customer Service and ended up speaking to Melissa in the "research department" who asked me if I had ever had another account with US Bank. I told her I had not, but that my husband had, and explained the reason for the change to his business account.
She then told me that I might want to speak to the "other authorized signer" on my personal account and that from what she could see, it appeared that there was an old account with an outstanding balance that had never been paid but she couldn't provide me with any details b/c her computer only allowed her to look back 90 days! So, I asked her if US Bank was going to keep the $400 they had charged my personal account even though she couldn't really tell me why it had occurred, and she informed me that if I wanted to pursue this investigation, that I could order bank statements and research it myself - this coming from their "research department!"
I called my husband and let him know that we needed to make an immediate trip to the local branch that this had occurred so we both took time off work to do so. We met with a banker, who proceeded to blatantly lie to our faces, by telling us that she too could only see back 90 days and that she would have to open up a research claim and that it may take several days.
By then I was angry and I told her I was not leaving until someone could tell me what happened and how dare they think they can enter my personal account -without even notifying me - and take almost $400 in fees and then they cannot explain it! I also asked her if it was even legal to take funds w/o notifying me and she would not answer my question. She asked us to give her 24 hours to research.
The next day, after we did not hear back, my husband went back to the local branch and spoke to a different banker, who immediately was able to help him (by the way, he was new) and advised him that what had happened was that when he had closed out his first business account, he had been off by one penny, so when the last check went through, it showed a negative balance. US Bank had charged him $7/day on weekdays and $21/day on weekends, EVERY DAY, until they finally closed out the account in October!
My husband asked why he had never been notified about this, we had bought a house in May, and the business account still had our old address on it, but they did have his phone #. The banker didn't know. He stated he couldn't find any record of any attempts to contact my husband. And, the real kicker is, there was over $30 in check card rewards in that account, that my husband had forgotten about, yet US Bank didn't see fit to take the penny from that OR to give him that money.
In the middle of meeting with this banker, the branch manager, Peggy **, came out and interrupted, stating to the banker that our case was already being handled by someone else and that he needed to immediately cease giving my husband information. When my husband said that he already knew what had happened and that all of this mess was over a penny, Peggy stated that she was aware and working on it. He asked if she was working on it, what did that mean, and she told him to come back at 4:00.
My husband called me and I arranged to leave work early to go with him at 4:00 to meet with her. As we were walking into the bank, Peggy saw us and met us halfway to her office, shoved a piece of paper in my hand and said she had taken care of everything and that they had replaced the funds in our account and started to walk us back to the door. I let her know that I wanted details and I wanted some answers and was not leaving until I had both.
We went to her office where she proceeded to tell us exactly what the banker had told my husband, and put on airs that the whole thing was ridiculous and that she was going to be giving some feedback 'up the chain of command' about what poor customer service we had received and this was not what 5 star service was all about.
When she was done, I told her I wanted 3 things in writing: 1. confirmation that this 'mishap' was not going to show on my husband's credit report, 2. a letter from US Bank stating that no overdraft ever occurred and the charge to our personal account was in error and 3. a written statement as to whether or not US Bank is legally obligated to inform its customers that funds are going to be taken from their account prior to the action. Peggy said she would make sure that I received all of these requests.
This was Friday, 2/24/07, nearly a full week since I had first noticed the funds had been taken from our personal account. I followed up by sending written notification via email of our requests on 2/24/07. I have never heard back. At this time, we are severing our relationship with US Bank and I am filing a complaint with the BBB and will not stop until my requests are met.
I wouldn't normally take time out of my day to post a complaint here, filing a complaint with the BBB, or spend the next few weeks stopping direct deposit of my paychecks and stopping all of my online banking, but if I stop and think about the amount of time wasted over one penny, I am utterly disgusted at the thought of doing business with US Bank another day. If someone had told me that this had happened to them, I almost wouldn't even believe it, it all sounds so ridiculous!
HARTFORD, WISCONSIN -- I asked about my 3 year old's money that disappeared. The money, thank GOD, was back. The teller didn't know exactly why the balance printed on the back of the receipt was off. She said to check the next day to see if it corrects itself should this happen again & that money sometimes has to get transferred from other banks. Still weird though.
HARTFORD, WISCONSIN -- I have receipts, bank statements and a log of this account. There's 6 transactions on it and money has already disappeared. Money for Birthday, Christmas and from family is gone. I will be talking to someone there with proof, for an explanation and will withdraw the rest for a better bank.
PORTLAND, OREGON -- My daughter's card was stolen, It took me two times for Visa Buxx to recognize that I had filled out the paperwork. Then they still denied the fraudulent charges and kept her account in the negative because that I was not going to pay the 10 dollars to get a new account. Know where does it state in the initial contract that if you do not get a replacement card your charges will not be considered fraudulent... scam. Do not get a Visa buxx.
My wallet was stolen, I called US Bank within 30 minutes of the wallet being stolen. The bank cancelled my charge cards but did not put an alert on my account. One week later, the thieves brought in a remade ID with my information on it, and the bank teller, gave them my account numbers, and in the end Eight thousand dollars. I had to submit my paperwork three times. It took two months to get my money back.
When they gave my money back they gave me too much, but they had closed my account and I did not have the time to double check the work yet when all of sudden the Fraud dept realized the mistake and then just took the money without explanation or warning so that it did not bounce.
When I called and spoke with the fraud department the woman told me I should have known that the money was not mine... which would have made since if I had found the time to balance my account. I am in the military and travel a lot so no I had not had the time. I explained that she should have given notice to me again. She then laughed at something funny, I hung up. The next day, I was also informed that the overdraft was not paid off and I owed money. When the account was closed, I had asked the fraud department if they had paid my overdraft off and they said YES. Stay away from US BANK...
CINCINNATI, OHIO -- US Bank has an interesting policy. That is, to misinform the account holder of the actual balance of their account, tricking the account holder into spending more than they actually have, then actually CHANGING their own listed online banking records as it suits them to force multiple overdraft charges. This has been observed several times, when, having checked my online statement multiple times in a day over the course of a few days, the listed order of transactions has changed within hours - with the obvious purpose of forcing multiple overdrafts.
Yes, my account was overdrawn due to ONE charge. Oops I screwed up, so I transferred money to cover this overdraft. Upon checking back on my account the next day, the available balances listed per transaction had ACTUALLY CHANGED FROM THE DAY BEFORE! As a result of this deception, my account had been charged 2 additional overdraft fees. That's $120 or so totaling deceptively devised overdraft charges.
Even sneakier, these crooks decided not to reveal the changes and the overdrafts until the end of the next day, in order to wait until the very last possible minute, hoping, even EXPECTING me to check my balance through the day, "think" the account is positive, and (hopefully for U.S. Bank) make a few more trivial purchases that day and rack up a few more overdrafts. This is a very low blow by Screw US Bankcorp. It is misleading, dishonest, and takes advantage of people's trust in their online "banking" system by feeding misinformation and changing transaction history to steal your money.
Avoid U.S. Bank at all costs, or it will cost you. Better yet, avoid banks altogether by joining a credit union and, pay cash or money order for everything you can. Yes I made a mistake by allowing my account to get low, but in doing so my eyes were opened to just what US Bank is capable of given half a chance. I watched my account like a hawk to try to ensure I would not be charged an overdraft, yet they nailed me for 3. Thanks US Bank, I feel like I should file rape charges against you. All banks are crooks, right, but US Bank is one of THE CROOKEDEST. You have been warned. Close your accounts and go to your local credit union asap.
PORTLAND, OREGON -- BE AWARE OF US BANK FEE SCHEME. According to an article published in USA Today banks make at least 93% from fees (with free checking the fees, the fees most likely are overdraft fees). I have read some Consumer Reports about how US Bank statements did not match what really happened to the account. I had plenty of instances where my daily balance was positive and I still incurred overdraft charges. I even talked to an in-branch assistant manager who could not understand why I was charged an overdraft if I had positive balance.
And here it is why: when charges on the debit cards are made regardless that they are hold (funds become not available) the bank does not post them and wait for the moment when they should post them. They watch like hyenas and charge overdraft fees because even though the money are in the bank they are not available and if they are not available (which is at the discretion of the bank) therefore, your account is paid an overdraft fee.
Looking at your statement you will not know what happened (they cover their kill very methodically) so going and asking a teller makes you more confusing until you decide to sit down and get to the bottom of their policy. And then it starts to stink and you are sick to your stomach. Contacting customer service will not get you anywhere because this is something that is incorporated in their software. So, the only thing left is to separate myself from this institution that is so dishonest and have a rip-off attitude.
There are so many other smaller banks that thrive in serving their customers and their fee is straightforward and the transactions recorded in real time not manipulated time. So, for you out there protect your cash and DO NOT BANK WITH US BANK!
Apparently US Bank has instituted a crafty way to prevent their own collapse: Playing with deposits in a way that allows them to assess astronomical overdraft charges. Several months ago I had an unauthorized charge placed against my debit card/checking account. It overdrew me, just barely, but the fees associated with it amounted to nearly $100. It took several days to gain a provisional credit, but I finally did (no thanks to a rather unpleasant bank branch manager, and SEVERAL reps who incorrectly informed me of the process to used to gain those credits).
Two days ago I logged in to my user account there, as I do everyday (I am unemployed and living close to the edge; after that fraud episode I'm paranoid). My balance was positive, albeit low, the day before. Suddenly my balance was -$67.50.
I went to my post office box to look for overdraft notice. There it was! Only their "accounting" was specious -- they had an interesting arrangement of charges and credits which allowed them to zap me one single $37.50 overdraft charge, which NEVER SHOWED UP ON MY ONLINE ACCOUNT LEDGER. That charge allegedly was processed four days earlier, so by the time I noticed the negative balance, I had ALREADY BEEN CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $32 FOR 8 DAYS OF "CONTINUING NEGATIVE BALANCE FEE."
I called customer service and said there was just no way I could have become negative in my balance, even a little bit. The clerk pulled up the same accounting ledger info they sent in my overdraft notice, and it became clear to me that: 1. She doesn't understand the way the bank orders charges in a manner that makes the customer always wrong, and 2. She doesn't understand that their online accounting system is inaccurate, so I never saw a negative balance in the four days since she claims I first incurred one.
I don't know about you, but I call this shoddy business practices, and I intend to pursue some sort of a complaint through my State Attorney General's consumer protection division. I'm thoroughly disgusted with US Bank, but do not want to change just yet because I've maintained this account in good standing for three years, and often that's an important indicator when applying for credit.
While broiling some pork loin skewers tonight for dinner on an unusually warm evening here in the upper Midwest - great wine, cool jazz in the air - I got a text message on my mobile. A nice little vibration and jingle near my business center this time of night made me smile thinking it was a female friend of mine checking in to say hi.
I continued rocking on the barbecue and wine waiting not wanting to torch dinner figuring I'd check in with the cell a few minutes later. Finally getting to it, I read the tiny text telling me that my US Bank credit card was in cardiac arrest - suspicious activity abounds and I'm to call some B.S. 800 number. The sender was "firstname.lastname@example.com."
For starters, US Bank is the bank behind my card - so seeing a message from what at first appeared to be a legit dotcom made me take pause. Then, as a savvy consumer, I disregarded the number texted to me requesting a call-back - I called the number on the back of my card and spoke to a CSR. They quickly informed me the text was a scam and not to respond to it - which I didn't. They checked my card activity and confirmed I was OK.
Relieved I thanked the rep - she asked if I was interested in upping my credit limit. I responded "thank you, no - but would you be interested in lowering my interest rate?" I never hesitate to ask, as if you make timely payments, often they will lower it. "At this time, you're at the lowest we allow" she replied.
I hung up, finished grilling perfect kabobs, had some great wine and will sleep easier tonight knowing I haven't been scammed by some creep who inadvertently got my mobile number. The lesson to take from this gentle readers is to NEVER respond to TEXT messages from finance/credit companies on your mobile phone. Don't call their numbers or go to their sites. If you have questions, call the number on the back of the card only! Be your own hero - use common sense and don't let somebody take advantage of you. Slim, just stay off my reviews and informatives - I don't have time or inclination to explain basic logic to you.

England Head coach Stuart Lancaster has named an unchanged 23-man squad for Saturday's Six Nations match against France.
Lancaster has sent 12 players back their clubs this evening, including Gloucester number eight Ben Morgan, who has not yet recovered from the ankle injury sustained in the tournament opener against Scotland.
Lancaster said there were some tough selection calls, but the players who achieved a first competitive win in Ireland since 2003 deserved the chance to continue their unbeaten start to the tournament.
"We've had 30 plus guys pushing hard for selection this week, which is what we want," he said.
"We had to make some close calls but the team did very well in Ireland so we've gone with the same squad against France.
"We are looking forward to getting back to Twickenham against what I am sure will be a highly motivated French team."
England squad to face France:
Backs: Chris Ashton (Saracens), Brad Barritt (Saracens), Mike Brown (Harlequins), Danny Care (Harlequins), Owen Farrell (Saracens), Toby Flood (Leicester), Alex Goode (Saracens), David Strettle (Saracens), Manu Tuilagi (Leicester), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester), Ben Youngs (Leicester).

With the federal government shutdown resolved, furloughed workers and impacted industries are picking up the pieces, and national parks are opening back up. The Springfield Armory National Historic Site was among the closed landmarks. The Armory re-opened its doors to visitors Thursday.
James Woolsey is the historic site's superintendent. He says he's happy to return to work, but was greeted by plenty of missed emails and voicemails to wade through. Woolsey says he and his co-workers spent three days preparing for the shutdown, and will likely spend close to another week catching up. All told, he says that's about a month lost to the closure.
"Normally we have lots of things going on. We have projects, we're trying to do websites, school programs, and so basically, we've lost four weeks of doing the things I think people really care about," says Woolsey.
Woolsey says several dozen people have visited the armory since it reopened Wednesday. He says he's not sure how many visitors were turned away while the site was closed.
Farmers Spared the Worst
Meanwhile, advocates of various industries warned of doom and gloom as the shutdown began. But the impacts on farmers are not as dire as some predicted.
Richard Bonanno is head of the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation. He says some loans for farmers were delayed, but otherwise the shutdown did not have drastic consequences.
"Any time services are delayed or cut, people are certainly impacted," says Bonanno. "But the reality was…in two and a half weeks, it wasn't enough to make it a crisis."
Bonanno says going into the shutdown, he was most concerned about the impacts on animal processing facilities who rely on USDA inspectors, but they stayed on the job. Bonnano says much of those inspectors' pay comes from the facilities themselves, not the federal government.

Jack Otter and I take a look at the biotechnology selloff in this week's Focus on Funds video. Is the sector overvalued? The answer depends not just on growth forecasts but on how you devise your price-earnings ratio for the sector, a subject covered in the weekend Focus on Funds column:
The price-earnings ratio of the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) is a rich 33 times trailing earnings, versus the S&P 500′s 17, says Morningstar. But Morningstar removes unprofitable firms from the tally. Add them back in and tally the losses against the prices, and the P/E multiple would be a negative 19, according to ETF.com's Matt Hougan–if such a thing were possible.
There's some relief in the sector Wednesday as iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) rises by 1.8%.

Residents and community leaders are trying to decide what should be done with the school where a gunman killed 26 people
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Students, teachers and staff should not return to Sandy Hook Elementary School in the wake of last month's massacre that left 20 children and six adults dead, many residents said at a town discussion Friday night.
About 150 people attended the discussion, including 19 who publicly expressed their opinions, in a lecture hall at Newtown High School, less than two miles from the site of the Dec. 14 school shootings.
It was the second such gathering about the fate of the school. More than 300 Newtown residents attended the previous discussion on Jan. 13, when no consensus was reached.
Varying ideas raised at both discussions underscored how difficult it may be for Newtown officials to decide what action to take: return students to the school, renovate or raze the building, or build a new school.
At Friday's discussion, Sandy Hook resident Jackie Hornak fought back tears and said she has "never been more proud of this town than right now."
Hornak said Sandy Hook Elementary School should be taken down and a memorial put in its place.
Another Sandy Hook resident, police officer Todd Keeping, said he stood in front of the school two days after the shooting, "and you cannot ask anyone to go back in there."
Keeping said it's the people and the children — not the building — that "make it Sandy Hook school." If local residents want to retain the current staff of teachers who work at the school — something expressed by every parent who spoke publicly at the two discussions — "you can't ask them to go back."
Like students and many others in the Newtown community, teachers and staff still are traumatized by the shootings. Adam Lanza, 20, a former student at the Sandy Hook school, killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, in their Sandy Hook home and then killed 26 people at the school before committing suicide.
Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra, the town's chief executive, said the two town discussions were just the starting point toward a decision about the fate of the school.
Llodra said meetings must still be held with, among others, teachers and school administrators, Sandy Hook families who lost a family member in the shootings, and state and local officials.
Under a "best-case scenario," Llodra said she hopes town officials will make a recommendation about what to do with the school this spring.
Llodra said that if the town decides to build a new school, it "takes a long time" to get such a project completed.
She said the only site in Sandy Hook suitable for a new school is the existing site of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Another site in Newtown is also a possibility, she said.
U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Conn., who will be serving on a congressional task force on gun violence prevention, said Newtown should decide how it wants to move forward with the school, and Congress will help make it happen.
Esty said the "leadership and heart" of the Newtown community "is shining out to the world."

Just when we were thinking another day of anti-spring would drive us to impulse buy plane tickets to the tropics, we stumble across the Wildfox Couture Summer 2011 lookbook. A bit of denim mixed in with these dreamy summer looks has us crooning for a week of poolside lounging. We love the black distressed denim cut-offs with the exposed pocket linings and the bold graphic T's.

Could my baby have appendicitis?
Appendicitis is very uncommon in babies, but it is possible. Appendicitis can be hard for a parent to diagnose, though. At first, it may seem a lot like stomach flu. The classic symptoms are abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. (In rare cases, it can also cause diarrhea.)
Your baby's abdomen may be distended and sensitive to your touch, and he may bend over on his right side if his inflamed appendix irritates the muscles that lead to his leg.
Older children may be able to describe the sometimes-telltale sign of abdominal pain that progresses from the belly button to the lower right abdomen, but at this age, there's little your baby can do to help you understand what's bothering him.
What is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is the inflammation and infection of the appendix — a small, hollow, finger-shaped organ that sits at the beginning of the large intestine. This inflammation and infection can happen when bacteria get trapped in the appendix by hard stool or a large lymph node compressing and blocking the opening. Once the appendix is infected, it must be removed to prevent it from bursting and spreading the infection into the abdomen.
How common is appendicitis?
Appendicitis is the most common cause of abdominal emergency surgery. In Western countries, 7 percent of the population will have appendicitis in their lifetime. The peak age for getting appendicitis is between 10 and 30.
The overall number of cases of appendicitis seems to be declining. Experts say this may be because people are getting more fiber in their diet, which may help prevent blockage.
Are there risk factors?
People with a family history of appendicitis seem to be more prone, and males are slightly more susceptible than females. If your child has cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that causes digestive and respiratory problems, he's also more likely to get appendicitis.

"I love Dr. Scholl's. This provide never fails to provide comfort and style. I ordered these shoes on clearance for spring and summer so that I would have a quick, comfortable sneaker to slide on with skirts, shorts, and jeans. I am normally an 8.5 in Dr. Scholl's, but this was really big. I even tried it with some footies. I shipped it back in order to exchange for an 8. The shoe was definitely comfortable--it was like walking on air, which was why I rated it five stars."

Did You Know? Countdown to Ramadan (07/30)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore

Did you know there are estimated to be between 1 and 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide?

Observed by more than one billion Muslims around the world, the month of Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting, self-sacrifice and prayers. We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Ramadan!*

An Irish Author Writes His View On Coupons
In 1974, the Irish Academic Press was established in Dublin after the collapse of the Irish University Press by Frank Cass. It has gradually grown to become a leading Irish publisher of scholarly and academic writing on a diverse range of subjects within the wide range field that is offered by Ireland studies. To even further its evolution the press was acquired by Conor Graham, a local book industry idol in 2012. After the change in ownership, the company moved to Sallins, Co. Kildare its current location. The same year also saw the establishment of Merrion Press, a new popular general and history books imprint. Merrion Press was developed to better publishing by including more accessible and popular titles that were different from the typical academic projection.
As an Irish writer, I believe that the new owner of Irish Academic Press, is focused on advancing the work of its prior leaders and reinforcing its brand that is already strong. With his ambitious plans to publish at least 25-30 new titles every year, straddling the company's traditional subject areas of literary studies and general Irish history, while putting extra focus on modern Irish history, literary criticism, historical biographies. The company also plans to incorporate books in arts, media studies, theology, women's studies and genealogy.
How discount coupon websites work
Coupon websites are basically advertising websites that are based online and enables group-buying deals by using direct marketing. They establish huge customer databases by assembling the name, location, and contact detail of every person who buys from them.
The coupon process begins by advertising an offer. These offers are usually largely discounted. The offer will be emailed to subscribers and also posted on the website. The customers later purchase the coupons and later spread the word. The last process is where the customers redeem their discount coupons, and the business receives its share of the sale.
Benefits of coupon websites for business
Being a writer, I believe in going for things that are beneficial. Coupons come with their fine share of sparks to back them.
1. Market growth
There are many ways in which discount coupons facilitate market growth among them being:
Mass exposure- these coupons are usually sent to hundreds and hundreds of customers and are always visible to any person who visits the sites. These largely contribute to market growth through exposure.
Word-of-mouth recommendations- This is mainly attributed to the role that customers play in passing information about great deals that they find. Many of this deals usually go viral as customers post links and details on social media
Increased brand awareness- Given its word-of-mouth publicity and advertising reach coupons will drastically increase the awareness of any business thus growing its market.
New customers- coupons facilitate the market growth by also attracting new customers.
2. The consumers
Consumers benefit from goods and services that are highly discounted. This discount coupons enables consumers to buy more at lower prices. As soon as subscribers read about an offer they like they can purchase instantly thus enabling the consumer to get speedy transactions for goods and services.
Promotional coupons, in the long run, help customers acquire more at a reduced price at the same time facilitating market growth for businesses.

My First Online Purchase For Prescription Glasses With A Zenni Optical Discount
Just recently I've been told to get glasses. I thought it had to happen eventually, with me spending hours everyday in front of my laptop. But instead of going to an optical shop in town, I wondered: "They sell everything online these days. Does that include glasses?"
Turns out, I was right. One particular site, zennioptical.com, had everything I needed and more about glasses. They had training videos, online chat, a way to sort glasses by style. It was pretty crazy, but I got what I needed!
Each pair of glasses had detailed measurements, descriptions, and prices, and they come in various colors. The site also lets you upload your photo to check which frame shapes look best on you. (I spent an inordinate amount of time with this feature!)
The best part was that most of the time, they give discounts on certain frames, lenses, and prescription glasses. I bought a frame with lenses according to the prescription I had acquired from my optometrist. At the check out I was prompted to type a Zenni Optical promo which I found here. If you're looking for an online one-stop shop to get your glasses, I highly recommend zenni optical.

How to restore your metabolism after it has been damaged
Many people claim that have ruined their metabolism by following too many diets. They have gained weight and they just do seem to be able to lose it. They suffer the backlash that results from years of yo-yo dieting.
Find out this here about Muscle & Strength site which is the biggest and most visited online supplement store that offers you an enormous selection of more than 5000 health, weight-loss, fitness, bodybuilding, sports and workout products to choose the ones that best satisfy your desire and your needs. Now, with over 600 on-line deals and coupons, you can buy the supplement product you want at a significantly discounted rate up to 60%, 70% and even 80% off from its original price.
How people tend to damage their metabolism
After what we described above, this is what happens next: People go on crash diets and they drop their calories insanely low. For example, they may follow the HCG diet with only 500 calories a day.
What these diets do is that they throw your body into starvation mode and your metabolism is going to lower your metabolic set point which is the amount of calories you burn in a day. In addition, it is quite often that when people follow crash diets they do not really have the energy to work out. Lack of exercise really throws you off and drops your metabolic rate.
So, how is the whole dieting situation progressing? You get your weight back and then you follow another crash diet and the vicious cycle continues. This cycle is incredibly frustrating but it can be reversed with time, consistency and patience. You have to allow your body a chance to gradually adapt to a new metabolic set point.
How to fix your broken metabolism
#1 Stick to your calorie allowance
Here is the game plan: if you are trying to lose weight, you must set your calorie allowance and don't vary it. Women are recommended to take between 1200 and 1400 every day and men should consume around 1600 calories per day.
#2 Get on an exercise routine
Now, here is the other part of the equation. The best way to pump up your metabolism is to exercise. You will be burning calories not only during your workout but also up to 48 hours after you exercise session. When you build muscle tissue you will speed up your metabolism over the long-term.
Aim for 5 days of exercise during the week with 1 hour of exercise each time. If you do not have this kind of time available and you only have time to do 30 minutes sessions, this is also good and beneficiary. But, bear in mind that the harder you work, the more calories you are going to burn. So, really push yourself throughout your workout.
Eventually, you will say "goodbye" to yo-yo dieting and crash diets once and for all. You will build a healthy lifestyle that is balanced and calories controlled.

I understand the basics of Itzanami, as long as I don't think about it too hard. I don't understand how the Uchiha could possibly have spammed it as much as Itachi implies (to the point where they fight about who spammed it better!). If it costs them an eye every time they used Itzanagi, wouldn't the clan soon be reduced to a bunch of blind, bumbling morons.
Also, I thought this technique was unique to the Mangekyo(sp?) Sharingan, and I also thought that only 3 - 4 Uchiha ever activated that level of eye technique. Where could all these Itzanagi users possibly be coming from? Hell, that was the most confusing part of the chapter for me :-/

I think I'll save this one for later... judging from the title...
yes and 135 will also be a filler. 136 onwards is back to main story.
134 "The Beautiful Patissier, Yumichika!"
"Utsukushiki patishie, Yumichika!" July 18, 2007
135 "Kon is Deceived! Rangiku on the Lookout.."
"Hakarareta Kon! Rangiku wa mite ita" July 25, 2007
136 "Hueco Mundo civil war! Ulquiorra's death"
"Weko Mundo nairan! Urukiora no shi" August 1, 2007
137 "Battle of bad faith, Aizen's trap"
"Akui no tatakai, Aizen no wana" August 8th, 2007
Well I watched it... it was pretty terrible. I'd call it the worst Bleach episode I've ever seen but I hated the Don Kanoji (sp?) ones more. It reminded me of that Naruto filler where they make ramen.
man that suck don't watch is a waste of time
