She just got her first little sniffle about a month ago. I think from this new kids place we have been attending. Didn't even phase her. We have been very forunate! My philosphy is the more germs the better. She needs to build up her little immune system on her own.

FYI lo's dont get vaccinated against colds. It is the bigger illness that they vaccinate against that they worry about and LO's probaly have not been introduced to them yet. Your choice to vaccinate or not.

I honestly think it depends on the kids and genes. I have a friend who didnt vaccinate any of their kids and they are sick all the time and in the hospital. And I have another that BF until her daughter was 15 months old and has all her vaccinations and she is always sick also.

I've been a nurse for years at a children's hospital. There are billions of viruses, bacteria, etc. I would hardly think just because a child hasn't had a cold in 6 months means that his/her immune system is strong enough to fight off polio, measles, or tetanus. The reason why non-vaccinated kids don't get sick with these diseases is because the majority of kids are vaccinated. Up until recently vaccines have helped to nearly erradicate these diseases. However, since it seems there is a current "trend" of not wanting to vaccinate and we are starting to see outbreaks of some of these diseases. I hope you truly realize the consequences of your decisions. Pray your child won't walk with a limp for the rest of their life if they get polio, or ends up in the PICU on a ventilator after a cut gets infected with tetanus, or even worse an older sibling getting measles an infecting newborn sibling then permenantly blinding and disabling the newborn for life. I just truly hope that parents are doing their research and basing these important decisions on edvidence-based practice & scholarly (peer-reviewed) articles and so they can make an informed decision.

Phillip Capshaw provides his own unique perspective on everything from local to world events and, as the blog title suggests, believes that nothing is funnier than observing the comical nature of our fellow man and especially Southern Oklahomans. Phillip is a native of Ardmore, Oklahoma, with varied interests who likes to poke fun at almost any group and occupation, but feels as if there is much to make fun of in passing the mirror everyday.
A new study has just been released that shows the brand of car preferred by people that cheat on their spouses is the Audi. The readers of this blog have come to expect nothing but the best in serious investigative journalism and we are not going to let them down. This has necessitated that my research assistants, Bubba and Billy Bob (hereafter referred to as B & B) put in a lot of overtime this past week. The results are very interesting, indeed! First of all, before you start doing a search on this, if you are married, you might rethink that one. That is why I decided to just let B & B do it. It just seemed it may be a lot easier to pay them overtime (which consists of a few cases of beer) than to try to explain to my lovely wife the reason that I had all these searches on the browser for websites which cater to cheating spouses.
One survey of people that are unfaithful found among cheating mothers, that one in five said they found themselves in a "sticky" situation while trying to balance motherhood with an affair. One website also revealed they typically see a spike in female signups the day after Mother's day. I'm calling this, "The kid's made me do it syndrome." It just isn't fair the stresses moms have to face in this day and time.
One survey said that Banana Republic is the most sought-after brand of clothing, Morton's The Steakhouse is the place they preffered to eat and Washington D.C is the preferred place to cheat. That last one is a big surprise to everyone, I'm sure.
One of the latest surveys of people that are going to cheat prefer Audi, followed by BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and VW. Other websites had completely different results. On one Toyota was listed as number one followed by Ford. BMW was number five and Audi didn't even make the top ten. Common sense would tell us the median income of the people that frequent the website would make a great deal of difference as well as the region. B & B decided to do their own survey at their favorite watering hole. Here are the results.
The men preffered Chevrolet pickups followed closely by Ford and Dodge trucks. On a side note, the participants wondered how anyone that was going to cheat could drive anything but a truck because to meet their sweeties out in the pasture, if it was raining you would get stuck driving anything else. Most of B & B's friends preferred to get their clothes at Walmart and the eating establishments favored were McDonald's, followed closely by Burger King. The best place to cheat as I alluded to earlier is not any city, but the most wooded pasture.
The friends of B & B came up with some subtle hints that you might watch for if you suspect your loved one of infidelity.
1. A phone call in the middle of the night and your loved one takes the phone into the bathroom and comes back in a few minutes and says its a wrong number.
2. Going golfing, bowling, fishing or hunting more than ordinary and forgetting to take their equipment with them.
3. Putting in a lot of overtime, but Accounting somehow doesn't pay you for it.
4. Last but not least: If your loved one calls you by someone else's name especially during an intimate moment.

Costs Plummet As City Breaks Trash Cartel
By SELWYN RAAB
Published: May 11, 1998
Jon Hendel manages the Gift Building, an office tower on Fifth Avenue, and for years his bills for garbage removal kept rising until they peaked at $10,000 a month. Now a different trash-collecting company provides the same service for $950 a month.
Marjory Warren runs a small Madison Avenue boutique called the Studio, and for years she had to settle for a garbage hauler who showed up twice a week when customers were in the store. Now another company makes five pickups a week when the boutique is closed and Ms. Warren's trash-removal costs have dropped to $25, from $40 a month.
City officials say the steep price cuts and improved service for large and small customers are a result of a two-year-old city crackdown on garbage industry abuses. The effort began after disclosures that for decades a Mafia-run cartel had rigged prices and denied customers any choice in selecting haulers or in negotiating contracts.
Industry leaders estimate that in the last two years, the cost of garbage removal has tumbled 30 to 40 percent for most of the city's 200,000 commercial buildings, restaurants, stores, private hospitals and private schools, which have to hire commercial haulers. Prices have declined more than 50 percent at office towers, like the Gift Building, with large volumes of paper products that trash collectors can sell to recyclers.
''It's allowed us to keep a lid on rent increases for tenants,'' Mr. Hendel said of the 90 percent reduction his company had experienced. ''For 40 or 50 years, most owners reconciled themselves to the fact that garbage costs only went up. Now you can ask for bids and watch the prices go down.''
Still, real estate managers said that they doubted that the reductions would lead to drastic rent decreases, because refuse removal accounts for only 2 to 3 percent of operating expenses. And many small trash hauling companies warn that they are being driven out of business by the Giuliani administration's new regulatory policies.
Last year, three men, reputedly mobsters, and 14 hauling company owners were convicted of participating in the cartel and extorting payoffs from a maverick company that opposed the scheme. State prosecutors said that garbage removal fees in the city, which soared to $1.5 billion in 1995, had been inflated as much as $400 million a year by the cartel.
Since 1996, more than 50 trash collecting companies, including a dozen linked to organized crime figures, have gone out of business or have been bought by national companies.
Under city regulations, businesses and private institutions have to use commercial haulers; the city's Sanitation Department handles garbage pickups at all residential and municipal buildings.
Industry experts say that the crackdown on trash-collecting abuses, which has been led by a new city agency called the Trade Waste Commission, has given customers control over who hauls their garbage for the first time in 50 years.
Randy M. Mastro, the Deputy Mayor for Operations, said the savings would help businesses expand and create jobs. ''Our mission was to break the cartel, get corrupt forces out of the carting industry and promote competition,'' he said. ''All those missions are being accomplished.''
But small and medium-sized hauling companies, which have not been accused of mob ties, say they are suffering because of the commission's licensing regulations and because of a price war set off by unfair competition from five national companies that entered the market in the last four years. The national companies, they assert, are stealing customers by offering artificially low prices that will rise when competition is eliminated.
''Sure, the customers are feeling good,'' said Gerald Padian, a lawyer for 20 independent trash collectors who are challenging the commission's powers in the courts. ''But they are like the guy who fell out of a 12th story window and when he passes the 3d floor, says 'So far, so good.' ''
''The consumer is going to hit the ground very soon,'' Mr. Padian added, ''and he's going to find a new monopoly exists with four or five giant companies in control.''
Officials of the nation's three largest garbage-hauling companies, Waste Management Inc. of Oak Brook, Ill., Browning-Ferris Industries of Houston and USA Waste Services Inc. of Houston, denied using predatory pricing to squeeze out independent rivals. The officials, however, agreed that fees had bottomed out and that garbage bills might soon rise.
In March, Waste Management and USA Waste Services announced merger plans. Industry analysts say the new company would have 30,000 clients in New York City, about 15 percent of the city market. The closest competitor would be Browning-Ferris with 3,000 pickups, mainly in Manhattan, less than 2 percent of the market.
The proposed merger requires the approval of the United States Justice Department's Antitrust Division, and the Trade Waste Commission has to authorize the local consolidation.
Independent companies maintain that the commission has used a double standard by quickly licensing subsidiaries of five national companies while about 200 independent firms have been in limbo for two years, undergoing rigorous financial and personnel reviews.

Chennai Express, Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3, which are the biggest money spinners of 2013, have erased almost all old records at the Box Office and set new benchmarks for the upcoming big budget Bollywood movies.

But the records before his latest outing Jai Ho are to not so easy to be broken. First in its failure list is that Dhoom 3 had released in 4500 screens in the domestic market, but Jai Ho is set to release in 4400 screens in India.
Salman Khan's last release Ek Tha Tiger was top in the list of almost all the categories of Box Office records. Chennai Express, Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3 have replaced all of them. Now, Jai Ho has 20 big records to break. Continue to slide to know the top 20 collection records.

Veneto Designer Outlet – Inspired by the Palazzi of Venice:
The Castel Romano Designer Outlet is a regular shopping stop for us whenever in Rome and it was only on our latest trip to Venice that we managed to find time to visit McArthurGlen's Noventa Di Piave Designer Outlet situated outside of Venice.
The Noventa di Piave Designer Outlet (also known as the Veneto Designer Outlet), opened in September 2008, is McArthurGlen's fourth Italian designer outlet, with Naples being the fifth.
Designer outlets are usually located a distance from the main city centres, in regions where rents are much cheaper. However, when I discovered how easy it was to get to the Noventa outlet from Piazzale Roma, it was a definite goer for us, especially since all my favourite brand names are at the outlet.
About the Noventa Outlet
All McArthurGlen outlets are designed to reflect the architecture of the region and the architectural design of Noventa Di Piave was inspired by the elegance of the palazzi of Venice and Treviso. The buildings are laid out along streets, plazas and squares, some of which are lined with covered archways to give you the Venetian feel while you shop – there's even a gondola to remind you of where you are. The covered archways also ensure that visitors can still carry on with their shopping if the weather is bad.
But most important to designer shoppers are the number of stores and the brand names you can find here – many of which are no longer available at the Castel Romano outlet. There are 140 stores with 200 brand names, including upmarket labels like Armani, Prada, Bikkembergs, Valentino, Les Copains, Paul Smith, Ferragamo, Fendi, Costume National, Blumarine and Sixty, at discounts of up to 70% all year round.
We caught the 10 am shuttle from Piazzale Roma which got us here at about 11 am. As we were returning to Venice on the 2 pm shuttle, that gave us three hours to check out the shops – unfortunately, the next shuttle back was at 7 pm which was a bit late as we had work to do. Three hours was really not enough time to check out all the shops so we targeted those that we were particularly interested in. We managed to buy some shoes and clothing and although we were successful with our shopping trip, I wish we had more time there – excuse for another trip to Venice!
See more photos at Travelsignposts Veneto Designer Outlet gallery Here.
Opening Hours:
From Monday to Sunday: 10:00 – 20:00 pm
Public Holidays: Centre is closed on June 2nd (National Day)
How to Get to Noventa di Piave Outlet
Situated in the Triveneto area, the Outlet is less than 40 km from Venice, 30 km from Treviso and 70 km from Padua. It is close to the motorway exit of San Donà di Piave and next to the A4 motorway that connects Venice to Trieste.

Big Tobacco then, Global Warming Now [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | November 14, 2007
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Wednesday, November 14, 2007 - 21:42
Here's an October 1995 internal memo I came across [3] written by someone at tobacco giant Philip Morris outlining all the "public policy grants" and the totals received by US think tanks and associations.
More than a few of the familiar names involved in the industry-funded war on climate science appear on this list, including:
Competitive Enterprise Institute - $200,000
Frontiers of Freedom - $10,000
Heartland Institute - $65,000
Heritage Foundation - $50,000
Hudson Institute - $25,000
National Center for Policy Analysis - $60,000
National Center for Public Policy Research - $50,000
National Association of Manufacturers - $130,000
Reason Foundation - $25,000
Who wants to bet this money wasn't for anti-smoking campaigns?
Udpate: and here's a list of the $3.9 million [4] provided to think tanks and associations from Philip Morris in 1998 for "public policy" work.
Udpate 2: And here's a great tobacco industry memo [5] outlining how to go about "building a successful
front group coalition around a specific issue."

Both Windows Media Centre and Apple TV have been on the market now for years and both have their loyal supporters. For people who use Apple's iTunes software, especially to download and play TV shows and movies, the ability to be able to play those on your TV via a small set-top-box is very compelling.
Windows Media Centre users have had a much rougher time of it. I myself have used Windows Media Centre as my only way to get TV and video onto my living room television since 2003. Back then it was an incredibly painful experience and, fortunately now, is almost completely pain free. I say almost because Windows 7 is still not the embedded operating system that allows for pain-free set-top-boxes running it.
Oh yes it is! Only recently Microsoft announced an embedded version of the OS that includes Media Centre and, while there are no set-top-box (I'm gonna get sick of saying that soon) devices yet announced by manufacturers, we can be sure that some are on the way.
But today Google have thrown their hat into the ring with a new STB (let's just call it that!) by Sony that will run their new Smart TV service. This will allow people to search, because it's Google and search is what they're all about, for both live channels and web content including YouTube for interesting videos.
The box will also allow people to download applications which is interesting, because several TV manufacturers have already expressed interest in having widget-enabled TVs in their product lines.
Despite the popularity of Apple TV and Media Centre, Google's offering probably stands the best chance of coming built into new television sets, because of it's platform-agnostic offering, and the fact that you can simply plug your TV into your broadband connection and use it independently to browse the web on its own.
So which will you allow into your living room first, if at all? I've set out my stall and I'm kind of stuck with it now, but even so I'm looking forward to having a proper STB running Windows 7 Embedded.
Apple will need to raise their game to compete against both offerings and finally I believe Google is coming up with a new, first generation product that genuinely stands head and shoulders above the competition.
This is going to be an interesting fight for your front room.

NCRW Policy Brief: Education
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 2:00pm
Despite gains in educational achievement for women and girls over the last decade, the gap continues to widen for low-income women and women of color. Access to education is key to women's economic security and well-being. More vigorous efforts are needed to ensure sufficient support programs at the state and federal levels for low-income women and women heads of households.

What is Polymorphism?
The Polymorphism can be referred as one name many forms. It is the ability of methods to behave differently, depending upon the object who is calling it. The key features of Polymorphism are :
1. Allows using one interface for multiple implementations.
2. Supports Method Overloading: Multiple methods with same name, but different formal argument.
3. Supports Method Overridden: Multiple methods have the same name, same return type, and same formal argument list.
Explain garbage collection.
The Java uses the garbage collection to free the memory. By cleaning those objects that are no longer reference by any of the program. Step involve in cleaning up the garbage collection :
Garbage Object Collection :
First step is to collection and group all those object which are no more reference with any of the program. We can use the different methods to collect the garbage object like using runtime.gc() or system.gc().
Run Finalize method :
To free up those object which is collected by the garbage collector java must execute the Finalize method to delete all those dynamically created object.
What is an immutable object?
An immutable object is one that we cannot change once it is created. Steps involved in creation of an immutable object are :
- Make all of its data fields private.
- Methods which can perform changes in any of the data fields after the construction of object must be avoided.
How are this() and super() used with constructors?
this() Constructors :
- It is used to pointing the current class instance.
- It can be used with variables or methods.
- It is used to call constructer of same class.
- Private variable cannot be accessed using this().
super() Constructer :
- It is used to call constructor of parent class.
- Must be the first statement in the body of constructor.
- Using this we can access private variables in the super class.
What are Access Specifiers available in Java?
Java offers four access specifiers, described below :
Public :
Public classes, methods, and fields can be accessed by every class.
Protected :
Protected methods and fields can only be accessed within the same class to which the methods and fields belong.
Default (no specifier) :
When we do not set access to specific level, then such a class, method, or field will be accessible from inside the same package to which the class, method, or field belongs.
Private :
Private methods and fields can only be accessed within the same class to which the methods and fields belong. Private methods and fields are not inherited by subclasses.
What is Constructor?
- A constructor is used to initialize a newly created object.
- It is called just after the memory is allocated for the object.
- It can be used to initialize the objects.
- It is not mandatory to write a constructor for the class.
- Name of constructor is same as the class name.
- They cannot be inherited.
- A constructor is invoked whenever an object of its associated class is created.
What are the List interface and its main implementation?
The List helps in collections of objects. Lists may contain duplicate elements. The main implementations of the List interface are as follows :
ArrayList :
Resizable-array implementation of the List interface.
Vector :
Synchronized resizable-array implementation of the List.
LinkedList :
Doubly-linked list implementation of the List interface. Better performance than the ArrayList implementation when elements are inserted or deleted timely.
Explain the user defined Exceptions.
User Defined Exceptions are exceptions defined by the user for specific purposed. This allows custom exceptions to be generated and caught in the same way as normal exceptions. While defining a User Defined Exception, we need to take care of the following aspects :
- It should be extend from Exception class.
- Use toString() method to display information about the exception.
Describe life cycle of thread.
Threads follow the single flow of control. A thread is execution in a program. The life cycles of threads are listed below :
Newborn state :
After the creations of Thread instance the thread is in this state but before the start() method invocation. Thread is considered not alive in this phase.
Runnable state :
A thread starts its life from Runnable state. After the invoking of start() method thread enters Runnable state.
Running state :
A thread first enters Runnable state.
Blocked state :
A thread can enter in this state because of waiting the resources that are hold by another thread.
Dead state :
A thread can be considered dead when its run() method completes. If any thread comes on this state that means it cannot ever run again.
What is an Applets?
Applets :
- These are small java programs.
- They can send from one computer to another computer over the internet using the Applet Viewer that supports java.
- Applets can run in a Web browser as it is a java program. It can be a fully functional Java application because it has the entire Java API at its disposal.
- Applets follow the security rules given by the Web browser.
- Applet security is also known as sandbox security.
What is the Set interface?
- A set interface is a collection of element which cannot be duplicated.
- The set interface contains methods inherited from the collection.
- It provides methods to access the elements of a finite mathematical set.
- Two Set objects are equal if they contain the same elements.
- It models the mathematical set abstraction.

EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Smart Choice Payments for its commitment to excellence in customer service.
Ripoff Report's discussions with Smart Choice Payments have uncovered an ongoing commitment by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. Smart Choice Payments listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
Smart Choice Payments Owner, Mr. Todd McCartney, has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients are a precious resource. [continued below]....
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Kimberly Chin during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Smart Choice Payments.
Smart Choice Payments offers an array of payment processing services in order to provide businesses with a higher quality of service, "we show businesses how to save money on credit card processing. We also offer gift cards to help increase their business... We educate the business owner."
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
Their client base is mainly developed from the company's private call center, "we call businesses that currently take credit cards and let them know we can save them money in fees. We also call businesses who don't take credit cards and explain how they can increase their business profit by taking credit cards." After the initial call is made if the business is interested in the products Smart Choice Payments will survey the business in order to understand what products work best for them, "we show the business owner how our equipment runs, how to take payments, and how to find clients. We then go over different accounts we offer to see which is best for that business."
Smart Choice Payments Complaint Resolution & Customer Care
During the onsite interview, Kimberly Chin was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Ms. Chin explained that the most common complaint received against Smart Choice Payments are from business that, "feel they didn't get their money as soon as they thought they should from the credit card processing service. This is from them not understanding how to batch out." Another common complaint from businesses is in regards to a monthly terminal fee. In order to resolve these issues Ms. Chin explains that Smart Choice Payments main priority is helping businesses understand the benefit of their product, "we educate them on the batching out process, we explain the terminal fee, and again remind them how much they are saving from their previous plan." Ms. Chin then goes on to explain that this is a highly effective response to complaints, "we retain 90% of our clients who have this complaint. The other 10% we will buy back the machines and let them out of their contract with no fee due."
Ms. Chin described that their standard practice for follow-up after a complaint resolution is to, "call them back in 15 days to see how things are going. We also follow up with all clients in 30 and 60 days." There is also a 24/7 technical support line that clients can reach out to.
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Ms. Chin described the training protocol of the sales staff, as most complaints were directed towards their practices, "we now have weekly training for all sales reps which is 6-8hrs each week. We also have monthly online seminars for our teams to attend. We now make sure the sales reps are doing the follow ups as mentioned before." She also ensured future clients that Smart Choice Payments are members of the BBB, as well as certified by Mastercard and Visa each year they've been in business.
When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to make things right with the customer per the request of Ripoff Report, Ms. chin stated, "we now have sales manager supervising the sales team whereas before they were on their own with little supervision."
Smart Choice Payments is pleased to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Ms. Chin further explains by stating, "it's a chance to make things right, and let our clients know that we care."

Smart Choice Payments Wholesale Merchant Processing Credit Card Processing Las Vegas Nevada
Smooth talking saleman, Knut Werpen, came into our marina with promises of lowering our credit card processing fees. He stated he worked for Visa and could save us money because we would be dealing with the processor, eliminating the "middleman" processing company. He looked over my last processing statement, went out to call his company and came back with a comparison showing our company could have saved $345.10 that month if we had been with Visa. This price included a lease payment for equipment. I told him I did not need to lease equipment as we had our own. The lease payment shown was $229.99 per month. He stated we had to use their equipment because it had a special "chip" inside to comunicate with Visa directly. Our equipment could not be reprogrammed to do that. The lease was 48 months and in 2 years we would own the equipment. I thought the amount of money we were saving would offset the lease so we decided to contract with him. Did the paperwork. After the firdt couple of months I found we were not saving money and had been locked into a 4 year lease where we would never own the equipment unless we bought it out at the end of the lease. Also, he did not work for Visa, he worked for Smart Choice Payments, a processing company, not the processor. My statement showed various charges for services that were not included in his savings comparison. I spoke with Kelly at customer service. Could not get anything rectified and asked to speak with her manager. She said she would give her a message to call me. In the meantime, I discovered that the machines I had to lease did not have special "chips" in them and I did not get the machines that were written on the lease contract. At that point I realized I had been lied to and called customer service back. Again I spoke with Kelly and let her know I was angry that I had been lied to. She said she did not have anything to do with the sales part of their business. I asked to speak with Knut's manager. Again she said she would leave a message with her supervisor. I never recieved a call back and when I tried to call customer service again, I got a recording to leave a message which I did. Still no call so I decided to call with my personal cell phone. Guess what? Kelly answered the phone immediately and seemed a bit surprised I was on the other end. I asked to speak to her manager, she said she was not available but would again leave a message. I got a call from Craig Dery who stated he was the sales manager. I told him about Knut lying about who he worked for, the reason I had to lease equipment, was not realizing the savings calculated and the extremely poor customer service. He said he would like to personally give me a new proposal. That he was not there during my conversation with Knut and the sales people are not taught to sell that way. Knut has many satisfied customers so he finds it hard to believe what I told him, not to call me a liar though. I asked him why would I lease equipment when I had my own that could have been reprogrammed if his saleman had not said that. He said when you lease equipment you get a better rate. However, I was not getting a better rate. I had been put on a tier program, not interchange. He said he would call me back the next day with a new proposal, rate. I have not heard a word from him. He gave me his direct line 800-756-6277 ext 401 but I have no intention of calling him.
This company is a ripoff. I have found other complaints stating the exact same things I was told by Knut Werpen. If this man comes in trying to sell you processing, turn him out. You will not save money and he will line his and the companys pockets with about $12000.00 by leasing you equipment. I will be contacting our attorney about getting out of this 'non cancellable" lease as this company is unwilling to admit to their salesman's fraudulent practices. I have gone with another reputable company who educated me on why I was not saving money and exactly what kind of lease I was sold. Knut Werpen is a liar who talks smooth with promises of saving you money. It is not true. I did call and speak to him and confronted him with his lies. He hung up on me. What a professional way to do business! Stay away from Knut Werpen, WMP (Wholesale Merchant Processing), Smart Choice Payments, and Northern Leasing Systems, Inc. They are not to be trusted!

This is EXACTLY why I decided NOT to work in this industry. It is TOTALLY THE COMPANIES FAULT!! I cannot tell you how many merchant processor companies hired me ON THE SPOT VIA PHONE CALL........ NEVER MET ME!! I could be a felon and they would not know!!! these companies put them self at risk by paying per sale no salary and no backgroend check!!!
So it is so easy for a sales rep to lie!! there is no accountability and this indusrty has a black eye because of it..........
I would rather be homeless than work for ANY MERCHANT COMPANY!!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Well, after 2 months and cancellation of my contract with Smart Choice Processor I was debited through a 3rd party for $1388.98. I had to research to find out that the company that debited the money was an in house collection agency for Smart Choice named American Payments.
I spoke again with Craig Dery after numerous phone calls to customer service with no reply. Finally Craig Dery called me to explain the charge. I informed him I had never heard back from him after our last convesation in which he was going to send me a new proposal. Since they could not beat the new processor's rates, according to my contract, I could cancel said contract without paying any fees. He gave me a new proposal over the phone which still did not match or beat my current processor but I asked for the proposal in writing. He said he would send it to me, as of this writing I still have not recieved it.
He said he wanted to resolve this issue to my satisfaction. I asked to speak with someone higher up that could make the decisions to satisfy me. He said in order to do that He would have to email them and then wait for a reply as to when we could set up a time to speak. What kind of customer service is that!? I demanded a refund of the fees taken from my account without my knowledge. I have not recieved that either and am sure I will not.
I have had to change my bank account to be certain they will not deduct any other monies through and other 3rd parties. No one from their company or American Payments contacted me prior to deducting money from my account to inform me what was going on. This company continues to decieve and lie. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM or Knut Werpen. I am also very surprised that they are affiliated with Wells Fargo Bank. Apparently, Wells Fargo is not concerned with how their ISO's do business or how many lies they tell to do it.
I will NEVER do business with Wells Fargo, Smart Choice Payments or Wholesale Merchant Processing.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The place is easy to find and it was quiet as the massage therapist was the only one working that day.
She was very thoughtful: she had put the heaters up so that the room was be a bit warmer than usual for me to undress as it was very cold that day and she offered me a drink.
The massage was wonderful, firm but relaxing, very professional. I've had a few massages but never had an aromatherapy massage before so not sure what it is supposed to be. She used a normal non scented oil (as far as I can tell) for the body and a lavender one for the face.
It was probably one of the best massages I've ever had and I can only recommend it!

Wax on, wax off. More effective than shaving, waxing is one of the most popular hair removal treatments, targeting areas such as the legs, underarms and bikini line. Not for the overly sensitive, a waxing session may make you wince – but trust us, that super smooth skin will be worth it.
During your waxing treatment you will be asked to lie down on a treatment bed. Your therapist will use a spatula to apply the wax to your skin, spreading it evenly over the area to be treated. They will then smooth on a paper or cloth waxing strip, before quickly pulling it off again, taking the hair with it. Well, we did say it might be a bit uncomfortable...
Therapists use different waxes depending on the requirements of the treatment. Hot wax is great for removing strong, thick hair, while cool wax and sugaring paste tend to better for use on sensitive skin. Some salons use scented wax – giving you the chance to choose between fragrances such as lavender, rose and chocolate.
Whether you are looking to de-fuzz your legs, bikini line, underarms, back, chest or any other part of your body, waxing is an efficient solution. Kinder on the skin than shaving, there'll be no stubble rash, and the results will last for longer – so you don't have to be constantly worrying about that wretched regrowth.
You may find there are a few stray hairs left after the wax strips have been removed – don't worry, your therapist will get rid of these in a jiffy with a pair of tweezers.

Why would anyone be surprised that Lampley incorrectly calls fights and misses punches that landed and shouts about ones that don't but he thinks they did?
He's only been calling fights like crap for about 20 years now.

i think some of you need to watch that video and refresh your memory. lampley said berto landed two right hands, but only one landed. after that, he only mentioned one other punch, and it did land. it's not that bad of a call.

AN organiser of today's Enstone Show has been deluged with emails protesting against an appearance by bear cubs.
Animal Defenders International (ADI) said three European brown bear cubs should not be involved in the event, saying it was "no fun for animals like bears".
An organiser of the show, Kate Farquhar-Thomson, said she had received some 600 emails about the issue after ADI publicised the issue among its supporters.
ADI spokeswoman Fleur Dawes said: "The initial complaint came from a member of the public and we then alerted people through our Facebook group."
ADI posted a message urging people to email Mrs Farquhar-Thomson on its Facebook page, which has 140,251 "likes".
The show takes place at the village's sports and social club, at the junction of Charlbury Road and Cox's Lane, from 1pm to 5pm.

Name: Nigel de Jong
Age: 29
Position: Defensive Midfielder
Nationality: Netherlands
Club: AC Milan
Price: £8–12million
Manchester United are currently going through a midfield crisis, so by using Nigel de Jong ahead of Tom Cleverley, the squad will be reinforced both in defence as well as in attack. The Dutch midfielder is capable of stopping opponent plays in their tracks and works the ball down the opposite side hoping to catch teams on the counter.
With the speed of Angel di Maria now a possible outlet, Louis van Gaal can fully exploit his ability to turn defence into attack. Given the 3-5-2 formation, De Jong can easily slot into a more central midfield role having already experienced it first hand with the Dutch national team.

Hi all,
How do I get my website to recognize that I am the owner? I can't log into the wp-login page using my WordPress account because it keeps saying the username is invalid. So how do I connect my WordPress account to my site so I can actually use it?
Is this something I have to do at my hosting site (Hostgator), if so, any ideas how to? I've heard about wp-config and Databases, but I haven't found any clear information about how that goes into gaining access to my site.
Thank you for all that can help!
