Manager told me no we're going to have to go up on the payments! The tv was $23 dollars a week and told me to get it back Ill have to pay $29 plus tax a week. Why? because we did you a favor by renting it to you that low in the first place! So I go in on Wed. to pay my bill see my exact same tv and looked at the price the asking price is now about $3200 dollars!!! I said well thats not the original price how is it now you reselling tv for more? I asked well if I get the tv back now all my mony payed into it still applies so I still only owe about $800 dollars. The manager said no, it going to cost you the price on the tv which was about $3200!! So in order to get my exact same tv back I have to pay for you $3200 he said yes!!! How in the world can they resell an item for more than what its worth??? I thought there were laws against this? Over the years I have about $2-3,000 dollars spent into the store and when evr I get something they never give me my credits. Its always a gemic about the item being worth more so they'll have to deduct from money I've already payed into that item!!! So actually they sell the same items over and over again for more money each time!!! Is this legal? Can I file a lawsuit?

Rental Merchandise, Market Value, Book Value
AUTHOR: The Truth Is - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012POSTED: Sunday, December 02, 2012
From what you are saying, you failed to meet the terms of your contract so there were additional fees to reinstate the agreement. You see, most rental contracts expire for non-payment. That is the case here, when your agreement expired, the owner has the right to repossess the property and rent it again.
Much like what happens with rental cars, you found out that this company has marked thr furniture fot sale at its market value rather than the book value that you had left. The same thing would take place for a home that is rented-to-own. The new agreement would be set up at the highest price that the market can bare. The new owner would start at the place you did and the cycle continues until there is no market value left.
This type of transaction will be the kind we can expect to increase as finance rules set up by regulatory institutions increase. There is much greater risk for a company to loan money to a customer for merchandise. The rental industry helps folks who cannot otherwise get things they want.
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?

Pratyusha Banerjee Of Bigg Boss 7 Says Can't Eat Cockroaches And Rejects Show!
Pratyusha Banerjee loves staying in news and never misses an opportunity to show her starry tantrums. The Bigg Boss 7 and Balika Vadhu fame actress has recently rejected the offer from Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao as she thinks that just for a show she cannot eat cockroaches and make herself down market.
She said that she cannot eat cockroaches for a show. According to her in Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bacaho, they make people do crazy things on the show.
Pratyusha believes that she was cut from the outside world after staying in Bigg Boss House for a long time and now just for a mere reality show she cannot do the same again nor can she suffer all the torture given.
It is not the first time she is news, she was earlier in the news for her relationship miffs with her boyfriend. According to her, whatever happened has now been clarified by both of them and she strictly says that all that had happened was not for a publicity stunt.
It would really take all the viewers enough time to digest all your tantrums Miss Banerjee because even they know rejecting offers at this point of time is not your piece of cake.

From Publishers Weekly
Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Diet for a New America is a powerful tool on the journey towards consciousness and compassion. I recommend it without reservation, and hope that many, many people will read it. -- Gary Zukav, Author, The Dancing Wu Li Masters
Diet for a New America will vitalize the awakening of America. This easy-to-read yet mind-boggling book has its place in the kitchen and in the doctors office, in every classroom, from preschool to university. For those involved in ecological and political issues, this book is a mustso it is for all of us who long for a practical economical way to foster a more sane, ethical and loving world. -- Laura Huxley, Author, This Timeless Moment
A reading must for all caring Americans. -- Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, Authors, Fit for Life
Diet for a New America is excellent! I can't speak highly enough of it. This book is a breakthrough in the science of health and a joy to read. No one who suffers (or whose loved ones suffer) from the diseases of our time can afford to ignore this potent message. In his captivating style, John Robbins shows us how to create health for ourselves, our children, and the world we live in. -- Dr. John McDougall, Author, The McDougall Plan
Every so often a book comes along which has the capacity to awaken the conscience of a nation. Silent Spring was one such book: I believe John Robbins volume is destined to be another. With consummate intelligence, thoroughness and skill, Robbins takes us on a multifaceted journey which should cause all sensitive people to question their eating habits most searchingly. I couldnt put it down. -- Cleveland Amory, President, Fund for Animals, Author, The Cat Who Came for Christmas
From the outset of reading this volume I was enthralled. The book is a pleasure to read, as engrossing as the most exciting novel. Yet this is no novelit deals directly with the most important personal issues and decisions of our lives. When I finished reading Diet for a New America, I knew that in my hands lay one of the most profound studies ever written of how our eating habits affect our lives, and indeed all of life on our planet . . . If you read only one book this year, let it be this one. -- Vegetarian Times magazine
In a tender, not strident, voice Robbins shows us why a humane society cannot be built upon an inhumane system of food production. Robbins does not play on our guilt, but shows us how our own well-being is linked to the development of radically new sensibilities to non-human life. I promise youwhat you perceive behind the supermarket meat counter will never be the same after reading Diet for a New America. -- Frances Moore Lapp, Author, Diet for a Small Planet

Skip to comments.Griffin, NASA luminaries urge Obama to change space policy (Gene Kranz, American heroes)
Posted on 04/12/2010 6:23:29 PM PDT by Names Ash Housewares
Dear President Obama;
America is faced with the near-simultaneous ending of the Shuttle program and your recent budget proposal to cancel the Constellation program. This is wrong for our country for many reasons. We are very concerned about America ceding its hard earned global leadership in space technology to other nations. We are stunned that, in a time of economic crisis, this move will force as many as 30,000 irreplaceable engineers and managers out of the space industry. We see our human exploration program, one of the most inspirational tools to promote science, technology, engineering and math to our young people, being reduced to mediocrity. NASAs human space program has inspired awe and wonder in all ages by pursuing the American tradition of exploring the unknown. We strongly urge you to drop this misguided proposal that forces NASA out of human space operations for the foreseeable future.
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.orlandosentinel.com ...
Americas greatness lies in her people: she will always have men and women willing to ride rockets into the heavens. Americas challenge is to match their bravery and acceptance of risk with specific plans and goals worthy of their commitment. NASA must continue at the frontiers of human space exploration in order to develop the technology and set the standards of excellence that will enable commercial space ventures to eventually succeed. Canceling NASAs human space operations, after 50 years of unparalleled achievement, makes that objective impossible.
One of the greatest fears of any generation is not leaving things better for the young people of the next. In the area of human space flight, we are about to realize that fear; your NASA budget proposal raises more questions about our future in space than it answers.
Too many men and women have worked too hard and sacrificed too much to achieve Americas preeminence in space, only to see that effort needlessly thrown away. We urge you to demonstrate the vision and determination necessary to keep our nation at the forefront of human space exploration with ambitious goals and the proper resources to see them through. This is not the time to abandon the promise of the space frontier for a lack of will or an unwillingness to pay the price.
Sincerely, in hopes of continued American leadership in human space exploration.

Helluva list there of some of America's best.
The best of the best may as well beat their heads against the wall. Barry is about nothing but tearing our great nation apart.
Obama, on the other hand, is a miserable pud-knocker.
Billions for deadbeats, not one cent for space exploration!
I think we should send one Kenyan TO THE MOON.
Sorry, manned space programs cost too much and return almost no new knowledge. (they tell use useless things like spiders make crooked webs in space). On the other hand, robotic spacecraft have been spectacularly successful. They get 1000x more bang per buck. We need missions to Europa and Enceladus, the Mars polar regions, and ice deposits on the moon. And we need new space telescopes to look for other Earth-like planets. Here is one thing I can agree with Obama on.
Obama would not support the space program unless it could someone increase his political power. That is the only thing this rodent cares about.
Scrapping manned flight by NASA in exchange for low orbit privatized flights may be a good short-term idea, but have you seen any plans for unmanned exploration?
Of course you haven't....his plan is to take as much money as possible out of NASA to spend elsewhere.
Welcome to the Third World.
Show them this video........
Oh you didn't hear about the great explorer Al Maki Maki Wutu Maki?? He of present-day Johannesburgh led a mighty expedition all the way to present-day Somalia and returned with bountiful slaves!
Oh you said exploration.
The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.
Human presence cannot be replicated by machines. Obama is tragically catastrophically wrong on this, as is his judgment on almost all matters.
You need to seriously re-evaluate your thinking on this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQhNZENMG1o
Great letter. Gene Kranz is my personal favorite. I was inspired to my line of work by the space program in my childhood. We need to pass this pride on to our children.
Sorry - you are either woefully or willfully misinformed.
For one: the space program takes .05% of the budget.
For two: here's a list of some of the spin offs we have benefited from.
and the money will still be spent - obymmer has directed NASA to funnel the money to "predominately Muslim countries" to bring Muslim youth into the space sciences. (links below)
In addition, any decisions regarding NASA are legally given to Congress. obyummer is once again overstepping his authority.
tens of thousands of Americans in space program being put out of work - money to be funneled to Muslim countries -
NASA plans more outreach to Muslim countries
(per a directive from obama)
"Obama calls 'entrepreneurship summit' with Muslims"
In addition, a letter from Hillary:
Hillary Clinton
Remarks at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum
Doha, Qatar
February 14, 2010
President Obama and I believe that education and innovation are the currency of this century. That's why he announced a new era of engagement with Muslim communities to expand educational opportunities, support entrepreneurs, and promote advances in science and technology.
Our goal is to identify excellent ideas and successful projects in Muslim communities and then invest in them, help to scale them up, and to connect innovators and entrepreneurs, so that they can support and enhance each other's work.
We are creating a Global Technology and Innovation Fund, which we will launch this spring, that will provide hundreds of millions of dollars in capital to small and medium-sized businesses throughout the Middle East, Asia, and Africa . . .
We have to continue to expand and strengthen outreach to students. And that is why we have increased funding for educational exchange programs for Muslim students. NASA, our space program, has partnered with the Arab Youth Venture Foundation in Dubai to give Arab and American engineering students the chance to work together on NASA missions.
These are illegal acts - NOT the prerogative of the Executive Office under our Separation of Powers - indeed, NASA and the Space Program are legally under the auspices of CONGRESS. The WH has no legal right to by-pass Congress on NASA.
and so the redistribution of money out of OUR pockets kicks into high gear. (and the redistribution of jobs - tens of thousands of Americans will loose their jobs - as the money and jobs are given to Muslims around the world...not to mention the technology to create several more Irans. And then the Caliphate?)
Obama stated his goal of redistribution before he was elected...it's the prime tenet of the Black Liberationists churches, one of which he sat in for 20 years.
We are dealing with America-hating, One World Gov't driven 'enemies within', the likes of which we have never seen or imagined in the history of this country.
Hear it in his own words -
Video/Text of President Barack Obama s speech at Cairo University
I have met him several times. When I was a teacher down in League City a few years ago, his grandson was one of my students. Great guy!
"We need to pass this pride on to our children."
Strongly agreed.
And now is the time to fight for that legacy.
A nation born of the frontiers must keep leading on the frontiers, or we will wilt away and others will take our place determining the course of human history. Others that are not believers in freedom I may add.
I implore everyone to not just sit and do nothing.
You can learn how to help right here....
You can send a general comment to the entire committee on science and technology here........
Takes literally two minutes.
It's time to be heard.
That list of heroes is counting on us now.
We watched them make history, we watched them walk on the moon, fly shuttles never before flight tested before and do things most of us can only dream of doing.
Many risked all for our nation.
Now they call on us to not let the legacy they gave us die in Obama's hands.
I always get a kick out of that one. LOL.
I wonder why it is that John Glenn did not sign. Partisan support for the one in the White House maybe?
It is unfortunate your friends feel the way they do. I guess they get no inspiration from the African American astronauts who have managed to reach for the stars. If there were no space program (on which the US spends a relatively tiny amount of money) then many minority and underprivileged kids will not be able to dream of flying in space or taking part in this lofty and exciting program. Very sad, IMO.
I disagree, in part. Sure, repeated trips into orbit to experiment on spiders might be redundant.
On the other hand, we should have already created a base on our Moon, and have an eye toward Mars and the rest of our Solar System. Our space exploration should start from the Moon, rather than our planet, because we use so much energy and resources leaving the Earth. It would be FAR easier exploring space from the Moon if we had a base there with supplies and life support.
The muslim in the whitehouse will NOT listen to our American Heros. However if it was a muslim asking him, he would do it. The muslim doesn't like us, in fact, I'll bet a whole dollar he hates what we stand for and what this country was build on. Remember one of his first, if not his very first speech as a camdidate for president? He said something like, "this is the greatest country in the world, not it's time for change".????? Well he's been going lickety brindel forward as fast as he can to change our country and make it into a socialist country, which is communis/facist light.
I looked for his name, too. Considering his own recent flight on the shuttle, you'd think he'd want to support this also. Makes you wonder of the corrosiveness of D.C.
Glenn troubled
No one knows what private-sector vehicle will replace Orion if Constellation is canceled, however, or whether there will be sufficient demand to make space travel profitable. That troubles former U.S. Sen. John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth, who thinks NASA should take a gradual path to privatization.
"I'm not certain that we're far enough along yet that the private sector can take up the slack in the whole program. That remains to be seen," Glenn said.
Well, maybe he is for privatization. Problem is, by the time Barry gets done with our country, there'll be no one here who'll be able to afford it.
Watch the video at the Save Space rally..
Black Americans fighting for NASA are prominately featured...
When you cut a program to save money, you end up moving knowledge out of the field, that can not be replaced. Stimulus money is better spent maintaining capability to retain world leadership, than it is paying off your constituents.
Notice also he is also giving away leadership in Nuclear weapons systems. When you lose these people, you lose it all.
Obama. The quintessential example of The Wrong Stuff.
"Privatization" is just the veil behind which Zero's trying to hide as he seeks to jettison any responsibility or commitment to space exploration. Manufacturing and operations can be done privately, and should be. The mission cannot be privatized, nor can the responsibility for funding it.
This is like telling Colt, Ruger and Taurus they're now in charge of national defense, because he's decided that privatization is the way to go. While killing the defense industry work at GD, Boeing, and Lockmart through program terminations.
And always thanks for the ping, KD. Science in general really makes my day.
(Great documentary on M-Theory here.)
Some folks here have gotten so anti-government they paint themselves into a corner and reject all things federal.
NASA human spaceflight is as stratgically vital to the nations future as much as the US Marines are to our security.
You can support NASA human spaceflight and private industry both. Everyone wants private industry to succeed, but they are beholden to the quarterly report and shareholder, not exploration and positioning America on the frontiers.

Excellent post!!! Thanks for those links.
"Helluva list there of some of Americas best."
You said it. We have to make a stand and prevent Obama from "burning the fleet" like the Chinese did with their navy just prior to Columbus' voyages.
When Hussein is done, the Third World will look like a paradise compared to the wreakage of the area formerly known as the USA.

This may seem silly and very counter-intuitive to a collapse-o-matic plugin. Even so, i'll propose it. There are some instances in which i would like to easily display static content in the same style as that of my collapsible content. It would be great to have a shortcode attribute that locked content as expanded, no matter whether anyone clicked on the trigger or clicked on a trigger with a different rel attribute or a matching rel-highlander attribute.
P.S. With thanksgiving approaching here in the U.S., i want to say thank you. And with all my questions, i'll be sure to support your plugin development before the year's end. Thanks!

Hong Kong Tips Into Recession, Most Accurate Forecaster Says
Hong Kong's economy, a barometer of global growth, probably sank into recession with a contraction in the third quarter, according to Daiwa Capital Markets Ltd. and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Gross domestic product shrank 1.5 percent from the previous quarter, seasonally adjusted, said Kevin Lai, a Hong Kong-based economist at Daiwa. The report is due Nov. 11. Lai came closest in a Bloomberg News survey to predicting the 0.5 percent contraction in the second quarter.
Hong Kong's exports declined in September for the first time in almost two years, and the benchmark Hang Seng Index plunged 21 percent in the third quarter, the biggest loss since 2001, as Europe's debt crisis roiled global markets. Donald Tsang, the city's chief executive, warned yesterday in New York that there's a 50 percent chance of a world recession in the coming year.
"The economy is faltering on a rapidly deteriorating external environment," said Raymond Yeung, an economist at ANZ in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is "the nerve center of regional economic activities" and "any degeneration may signal a global economic downturn," Yeung said.
Analysts in a Bloomberg News survey are split on whether the economy contracted in the latest quarter, meeting the technical definition of a recession. Seven out of 15 forecast a gain in GDP, seven predict a fall and one sees no change.
Stocks Rise
The Hang Seng Index rose 0.8 percent as of 11:28 a.m. local time today ahead of a report tomorrow that may show inflation easing in China.
Europe's debt crisis and elevated U.S. unemployment have sapped demand for Asian exports, contributing to an easing in economic growth in nations from China to South Korea. Taiwan's economy shrank 0.28 percent in the third quarter from the previous three months, the first contraction since 2009, a government report showed Oct. 31.
Besides weakness in global trade, Hong Kong is grappling with elevated inflation and the risk of a slumping housing market. Shares of Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., the world's biggest developer by market value, fell 17 percent this year, worse than 14 percent slide in the benchmark index.
Hong Kong's economy grew 4.2 percent from a year earlier in the third quarter, the smallest increase since 2009, according to economists' median estimate.
While weakness in global demand hurt the economy, retail sales have remained robust, said Donna Kwok, a Hong Kong-based economist for HSBC Holdings Plc.
"Consumption should remain strong amid a tight labor market," said Frances Cheung, a strategist at Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. "We have consumption being the sweet spot, counteracting weak external demand."
Private spending accounted for about 62 percent of Hong Kong's GDP in 2010, according to Cheung.

Short's Brewing Co. has Arrived in Pittsburgh!
Good news Pittsburgh beer hounds: Short's Brewing Co. is coming to Pittsburgh!
Short's Brewing is an awesome operation out of Michigan. For many years (well, as long as I've known of them, really), they ONLY distributed within the state of Michigan. Now, they're expanding their boundaries a bit, and guess who's in line? WE ARE.
Short's officially begins distributing in Pittsburgh as of today!
If you haven't had their beer, they're known for doing crazy beer flavors and actually doing them well (no fake flavors). Some beers they were serving at GABF were Strawberry Short's Cake (which actually tasted like the dessert – not just a beer with strawberries in it!), Pistachio Cream Ale, Bloody Beer (which tasted like a Bloody Mary cocktail – like exactly like one), and Key Lime Pie beer (which was tart just like you'd think).
They also always do a great job with their presentation. Their staff were wearing lederhosen at all times.
You'll start to see their beers today at local distributors. There are also some great kickoff events this week:
- Monday March 21 – Caliente's Bloomfield – 4:30pm
- Tuesday March 22 – Shadyside Beer – 5 – 7pm
- Thursday March 24 – The Wexford Pub (Whole Foods Wexford) – 5 – 7pm

Hitchhiker Brewing to Add a Production Facility and Taproom on the South Side
Hitchhiker Brewing, currently located in Mt. Lebanon, is planning to add a location on the South Side of Pittsburgh. They plan to move all of their craft beer production to the new South Side facility, which will be a block or two off Carson St. on Muriel St.
It sounds like they plan to keep their taproom in Mt. Lebanon as well. It's more that they'll move their beer production (which takes up a ton of space) to the South Side, which will free up a bunch of room in the Mt. Lebanon location.
In addition, the South Side location is set to have its own taproom, too. I'm loving that Hitchhiker Brewing will now have two Pittsburgh locations! I'm daydreaming of smelling that special sweet beer-brewing smell when walking in the South Side.

Public opinion has played a crucial role in the transitions from war to peace in Israel since the 1967 Six Day War. Security Threatened is the first major analysis of the interactions among opinion, politics and policy in that period, based on opinion surveys of thousands of adult Jews conducted between 1962 and 1994. The public divided during those years into militant hardliners and more conciliatory security positions, and power either shifted between, or was shared by, the Likud and Labor parties.

Local fundraiser a winner for fans of good cuisine
Published: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 11:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 11:40 a.m.
For those of you that like high-class cuisine, a local fundraiser this week may be able to fill your taste buds.
The 13th annual Bite of the Arts gala is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Cotillion Ballroom on the campus of Nicholls State University in Thibodaux.
The annual event is entitled La Fete de Lyon: Celebrating Chef Paul Bocuse and His World Class Cuisine. Approximately 300 Nicholls culinary students will showcase their skills, beginning with a cocktail and hors doeuvres reception and ending in a three-course gourmet dinner, including a dessert buffet.
Attending the John Folse Culinary Institute is a good opportunity to work in the real world, said Derek Prough, a senior from St. Martinville. Each student at the Culinary Institute of America and at the Johnson and Wells institutes has everything provided to them, whereas we have to learn to share equipment and space and to work together.
The gala benefits the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls. Visiting chef, Patrick Ogheard of the Institut Paul Bocuse, just outside Lyon, France, created the menu and will be in Thibodaux to consult with the local students.
This is my fourth time to work on Bite of the Arts, Prough said. I havent had the opportunity to study at the Institut Paul Bocuse, but now I will have an opportunity for an alliance with Patrick.
Money raised from the event pays for four $500 and four $1,000 Bite of the Arts scholarships, as well as the purchase of equipment and expenses for attending conferences and continuing education.
The John Folse Culinary Institute is the sole American partner in the Institut Paul Bocuse Worldwide Alliance, Chef John Folse said on the institutes Web site. Our alliance with the Institute Paul Bocuse in Lyon, France, provides some of our students with the best hands-on training in French cuisine possible.
While Randy Cheramie, associate dean of the John Folse Culinary Institute, and Marcelle Bienvenu, an instructor in the program, is organizing the event, they said its the local students who are the events stars.
Prough, the Chef de Cuisine a position chosen by the faculty from student nominees is just one local student who will be showcasing his skills at the Friday event. The position is based on experience, grades and proven leadership ability.
Prough is working his senior externship at Restaurant August, a restaurant owned by Chef John Besh which was named as one of the 50 best restaurants in the U.S. in 2006 by Gourmet Magazine.
Prough said with four sampling stations at the reception, in addition to drink stations and the preparation of dinner for an anticipated 350 guests, there is plenty of work to go around.
The faculty is here to help as much as we can, Bienvenu added.
Along with the food, which is the highlight of the evening, there will be live and silent auctions.
University officials said the John Folse Culinary Institute is a respected training school for chefs and was the first four-year culinary-degree program offered at a public university in the U.S.
There is a warmth that I find in a lot of the graduates that come from John Folse, Besh said on a video on the Nicholls Web site.
Tickets cost $5,000 for a table for ten or $150 per guest. For tickets, call 449-7114.
Im proud of that school, said Chef Leah Chase, owner of Dooky Chase Restaurant and a visiting professor at the John Folse Culinary Institute. It teaches all of the cultures of this state, and we are many cultures.

A female caller did call me back on July 06 and again verified that she was with Oxford Financial Benefits and again confirmed the Mastercard credit card offer. At that time I did give her my personal and bank checking account information. After the exchange of my required information the female salesperson issued me a "validation code number" which she advised I should retain to memory/record so that I could check on the progress of this transaction. She likewise advised me that when my new Mastercard arrived this same code would be required for"Card Activation". The validation code she assigned me was 3428545.
During the time period from late July 2005 to mid September 2005 I did call Oxford Financial Benefits', contact phone number 1 866 333-7715, and did inquire as to the progress/status of my Mastercard. On every occassion a pleasent female requested my "Validation Code" number and after code number verification, I was advised as to the current status of my Mastercard.
What alerted me, that this was a possible Rip-Off, was the following:
A. I was advised that there would be a required 60 day waiting period so as to confirm my automatic bank account withdrawal.
B. Confirmation/Processing time elements were scheduled later and later.
C. Confusion, by the Oxford Financial Benefits representatives, as to exactly what I had ordered: {credit card, services, etc.} on a call per call basis.
The last contact I had with Oxford Financial Benefits was approximately September 15, 2005. I was advised at that time that my Mastercard had been processed and that it would be mailed to my on September 30, 2005 and I should receive it by October 10, 2005.
On October 04, 2005 I decided to call one last time to verify that my Mastercard had been forwarded. Upon attempting to call the 1 866 333-7715 phone number, as I done on numerous previous ocassions, I obtained a phone company recording that the phone number I had dialed was either no longer valid or that this number was unable to be called from my calling area.
NATURALLY, by this time I realized that I had been "RIPPED-OFF".
It is therefore my intention to relate my Rip-Off story, in exactness and to the best of my ability, so as to possibly assist other citizens in not becoming Victims of this type of "Rip-Off".
I will likewise assist any law enforcement agency or other interested parties, in any manner possible, so as to bring these Rip-Off artists to some resemblence of justice.
I would also like to be able to participate in any "class-action law suits", reference Oxford Financial Bebefits, if any such law suits do become available....

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

McGill MBA students to raise funds for disadvantaged children through social media
Students from McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management will travel to South Africa this month to visit companies, speak with business leaders - and use social media to raise funds for educating children in the disadvantaged townships of Port Elizabeth.
"This trip is more than a chance to learn, we are aiming to give back to our host country as well," said Melanie Walsh, one of the students coordinating the fund-raising campaign. The goal of this student-run initiative is to put social media to the test: By sharing their experiences through video and written blogs, the students aim to raise awareness of efforts to break the cycle of poverty in the townships of Port Elizabeth. The Desautels students aim to raise a total of $20,000 through individual donations and corporate sponsorship. All funds raised will be donated to the Ubuntu Education Fund in Port Elizabeth.
The McGill MBA and management undergraduates, who hail from cities across the world, will encourage those who follow their travels online to donate for the cause. The content will be on the official website at:http://PayItForward.mcgill.ca as well as on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other social media sites. This innovative fundraising enterprise captures this generation's ability to use the power of social media to spread a positive message and to make a difference...

t begins as an itch or a chafe. Friends giggle, families gape, and perfect strangers won't stop staring at it—that red spot on the left-hand side of your neck. It has many names in many countries—fiddler's neck, violin hickey, or mark of greatness.

The new initiatives at conservatories come as the classical-music industry is becoming tougher and students need to be fully prepared for what lies ahead.
