"The news of my appointment comes with great happiness to me," said Sarah Ioannides. "The Tacoma Symphony Orchestra found a way into my heart in February 2013. The experience we had making music together was very special that week. Not only did I find great chemistry with the musicians, but also felt at one with the audience that evening, and with the entire community during my weeklong visit. It will be my great honor to work with the Tacoma Symphony in partnership with its superb team of musicians, staff, board, and supporters. I embrace my future in Tacoma with excited anticipation of changing times for orchestras. May we be part of the wave that brings music to more and more people's hearts from all walks of life, and sustain the gifts of music through engaging live performances over the next decade." – Tacoma Arts

Welcome to Tacoma, Sarah Ioannides!
"The Tacoma Symphony Orchestra announced today the appointment of Sarah Ioannides as their next Music Director. The appointment comes after an international search spanning two years and encompassing more than 100 prospects. […] Her initial contract with the TSO spans a full five seasons, effective on July 1, 2014. She is already at work with TSO officials in planning her inaugural season, which is slated to open on Saturday, October 25, 2014." – Tacoma Arts

British conductor with 'magic' to lead Tacoma Symphony
Sarah Ioannides tops field of 120 candidates, starts 5-year contract in July
"Sarah had a wonderful chemistry with the orchestra, " said Greg Youtz, a music professor at Pacific Lutheran University and a member of the selection committee. "We were all impressed by her inspired craftsmanship working with them. I think they realized . . . they'd done something really special."
"She's a very fine musician, really passionate, " said concertmaster Svend Ronning, another committee member. "We felt it, and the audience felt it."
Another factor that earned Ioannides the position is her desire to bring the orchestra into the community.
"She's a fabulous fit with the TSO in terms of where she is with her career and the exciting ideas she brings, " Youtz said. "She seems at first to exhibit the classic British reserve, but then you notice the mischievous twinkle in her eye. She was asking about alternative venues . . . like the (Museum of Glass) hot shop or the Armory, and she's worked a lot with composers so we'll see some new music."
The board also hopes Ioannides will bring to Tacoma the passion for working with kids that has seen her launch efforts such as symphony art competitions and work with school orchestras. That Ioannides is the symphony's first female director is a bonus, he added.
"The role of music director has been male-dominated in Europe, " Ammerman noted. "In the States there are more (opportunities), but there's a long way to go. I'm excited that we can be at the forefront of that in Tacoma. She'll bring a different type of vitality. It'll also give us bragging rights." – The News Tribune, Tacoma

Anwar Farid Robinson (born April 21, 1979) is an American singer/songwriter/musician who was the 7th place finalist on the fourth season of American Idol.
Early Years[edit | edit source]
Robinson grew up in Newark, New Jersey. He first started to sing when he was eight and was accepted to the Newark Boys' Chorus School. He performed as a church musician and choir director throughout high school and college. As a student at Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton, New Jersey, he trained classically as a tenor in college for four years under Dr. Scott J. McCoy. He graduated in 2001.
During his senior year in college, he had an internship at New York City's High School of the Performing Arts (known as LaGuardia High School), and Robinson landed a gig as the keyboardist/musical director for Patti's Kitchen, a pilot for Patti LaBelle's cooking show with the Food Network. The same year, he joined an R&B group called the A.R.T. of SOUL under the direction of world renowned songwriter/producer, Joshua Thompson. A.R.T. is an acronym that stands for Anwar, Randy (Beasley), and Terry (Carpenter), the members of the trio. The group signed a production deal with Thompson, who later took the group to sing live for Clive Davis in February 2001. Davis signed the group on the spot to his new label, j Records. After two years, the group disseminated and was subsequently dropped from the label due to creative differences between the production and the label.
During the term of the A.R.T. of SOUL, Robinson, who is also an accomplished pianist, became a junior high school music teacher, settling in Elizabeth, New Jersey and West Orange, New Jersey. Robinson was also a member of a local group called The Perfect Combination and played for churches in the greater Essex County area. One of these churches was Zoe Ministries, where Bishop E. Bernard Jordan is the Chief Prelate. During Robinson's tenure there, he was one of several vocalists and musicians that contributed to Resurrection, an album that was made for Easter 2003. Anwar is a featured soloist on the song "Saved" and sings the hook/refrain with Reverend Run of Run-D.M.C. (Joseph Simmons, Sr.) and Layzie Bone (of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony) on the track, "His Love Will Never Die". This song also features two of Reverend Run's sons, Joseph, Jr. and Daniel Simmons.
Anwar also had the opportunity to be featured as a member of a Christmas Choir for a holiday episode of Emeril Live during Christmas 2003. He would later return to the show as a guest when Aretha Franklin made an appearance on the show during April 2006, almost a year after his run on American Idol.
American Idol[edit | edit source]
In August 2004, Robinson successfully auditioned for Season 4 of Idol in Washington, DC. He proceeded to the Top 12, but was voted off during 1970s dance music week on April 20, 2005 (the day before his 26th birthday), after his performance of Earth Wind and Fire's "September". Only six contestants remained after Robinson's departure.
He went on to tour with the Top 10 contestants of Season Four and sang for over 500,000 people in over 40 cities in the United States and Canada. He also participated in "Idols In Concert" at the newly built Rrazz Room at San Francisco's Hotel Nikko.
Post Idol[edit | edit source]
Robinson has completed an album of cover songs entitled "The Truth (About Love)". A CD sampler was previously available from his fan site. Then, he began working on original material for his second album, "The Truth II", according to his MySpace. Also, Anwar lent his voice to the project InSPIRATION, a collection of inspirational songs composed by Reverend Nolan Williams, Jr. which was released in 2006. He has resumed his work on his album of original songs for a fall release in 2008.
Recently, Anwar took on the role of "Collins" in the 2007-2008 National/International Tour of Jonathan Larson's iconic Rock Opera, RENT. The tour made stops in over 40 cities in the United States, Canada (Toronto, London, & Kitchener, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta), and Japan (Tokyo and Osaka).[1]
He was asked to play the lead role of "Raymond Tyler, Jr" in the musical adaptation of E. Lynn Harris' award-winning novel, Invisible Life, during the July 2008 workshop with score composers and world-renowned songwriters, Ashford & Simpson.
Anwar made his film debut in Renowned Director/Writer/Actor Maurice Jamal's The Ski Trip 2: Friends and Lovers as "Owen". The film debuted on July 13, 2008 at the Fairfax Regency Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
Anwar starred as Jesus in the Syracuse Stage production of Godspell. Conceived and Originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak and music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. This production was directed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj and choreographed by Anthony Salatino. This production ran in Syracuse, NY at the Syracuse Stage November 25 - December 28, 2008.

Products with Keratin definitely improve the texture, look and feel of your hair. Advanced Clinicals Keratin Hair Repair Mask does not disappoint. Love it!
I absolutely loved the way the Keratin mask made my hair feel soft and silky going on and while massaging it in. so much so that I hated rinsing it out! Too bad it's not a leave-in.
I used this product once after my hair had been feeling so dry and brittle lately. My air was silky smooth without feeling or looking greasy, and the feeling lasted through several shampoos. For reference, I have fine straight, highlighted hair. I plan to use it once a week. One jar seems like it will last a few months. Definitely recommend.
I just tried this today and my hair feels great! Very soft, very little frizz with air drying.

Robert Pattinson fans, rejoice – after what feels like decades away from our shores, the British heartthrob has just flown back to the UK for Christmas. Welcome home, Robby!
The 27-year-old Twilight hunk was spotted arriving at London's Heathrow airport yesterday looking his usual smouldering self in a black hoodie with a leather jacket thrown over the top, black jeans, trendy tortoiseshell specs and his trademark manly stubble. Hiiii…
The actor, who has been camped out in LA for the past few months filming Maps To The Stars, is reportedly back to spend the festive period with friends and family in London – so we're almost defiintely going to end up bumping into him in some cosy East London pub over a wintery mulled wine. Right?
Not so happily for us, Rob's return to Blighty also coincides with rumours that a reconciliation with on/off ex Kristen Stewart is on the cards…
'Kristen intends to let Rob spend Christmas with his family in London but she's hoping they will travel to Paris on Boxing Day and from there on to the Loire Valley,' a source told The Sun.
'She reckons it could be the relaxing break they need to completely get things back on track."
Latest Stories
The couple also spent last Christmas apart even when they were dating, with K-Stew later jetting in to join Rob for low-key NYE celebrations in London.
Let's hope Rob sticks around for a little longer this time. Preferably minus the gf…

In pics: Pick up one of 15,000 books on display at India's first 'book village' near Pune today
Bhilar village, modelled on a Welsh village known as world's largest second-hand book centre, is a haven for bibliophilesmumbai Updated: May 04, 2017 11:46 IST
India's first 'book village', modelled on the world's largest second-hand book centre — Hay-on-Wye, a village in Wales, UK — is a treat for book lovers. Walk into Bhilar village near Pune and pick up one of 15,000 books, rare issues of various periodicals, novels and reference books about Maharashtra and Marathi culture written by prominent authors.
- Hay-on-Wye, a village in Wales, UK, is the world's largest second-hand book centre
- In 1972, villager Richard Booth was the first to set up a second-hand bookstore in an abandoned fire station. Several followed, transforming Hay-on-Wye into a paradise for bibliophiles
- Today, about 30 bookstores cater to the village's population of 1,500 people
- Several unmanned 'honesty bookshops' and tiny outdoor shelves dot the landscape
- The village made headlines earlier this year, when a note written by author Enid Blyton was found in one of its bookstores
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, prominent Marathi writers, poets and artistes are expected to attend the village's inauguration slated for today afternoon.
Bhilar has a population of about 10,000 people, 90% of whom are involved in farming. The village and its surrounding areas produce about 100 tonnes of strawberries annually, netting Rs50 crore.
Situated close to Mahabaleshwar — a hill station that became popular during the British era — Bhilar attracts a large number of tourists, for whom locally produced strawberries are a major draw. The village's prime location is what prompted the government to come up with ideas to promote tourism and Marathi, said education minister Vinod Tawde. On becoming education minister, he had announced his plans to turn a location in Maharashtra into a book village or 'pustakache gaon'.
The government will organise various events to promote literature. Prominent writers and poets will host events and give speeches over the next few days. The government of Laos plans to undertake a similar project in Maharashtra soon.
As many as 75 artists have painted houses, temples and other tourists destinations in Bhilar to beautify the village and attract tourists.

Kathleen Huffman
Hi, my name is Kathleen Huffman and I am a senior in the ILR school. I am excited to travel to Vietnam to learn more about labor relations and corporate social responsibility. After studying abroad last year in an international business program in Spain, I am grateful to have another international learning experience to expand my ILR education. I am also looking forward to meeting students at TDTU and learning from them.
I was interested in this program after working in the labor relations department Portland General Electric. After observing the way that labor relations works in the US, I am interested in exploring the way that labor relations works in a different environment and I am excited to learn about the Vietnamese perspective. I first became interested in Asia when I moved to China with my family and traveled in SE Asia. I am excited to learn more about a different Asian culture and conduct research on unions and dispute resolution in Vietnam. Outside the classroom I work in the Human Resources department and participate in Circle K.

Romania's National Day
Posted by jonathanfryer on Monday, 2nd December, 2013
Being Romanian Ambassador to the Court of St James's cannot have been easy in recent months, as the dreadful Daily Mail and even viler Daily Express have whipped up anti-Romanian feeling, cheered on by Nigel Farage and his UKIP nuts, as well as some Conservatives who ought to know better. However, H.E. Ion Jinga (who has been en poste for five years now) has handled the situation with dignity. This evening, during his customary short speech at the Romania National Day reception at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Belgravia he lamented the fact that the debate about freedom of movement in the European Union has got so skewed and pointed out that most Romanians here are working and of course paying taxes and national insurance. Indeed, all recent reputable surveys show that the nationals of other EU member states working here contribute far more to the UK economy than some of their compatriots receive in benefits. The Chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Romania Lord (Quentin) Davies of Stamford lambasted the media scaremongering about migration and it was pointed out that that before the First World War, people could move around Europe freely, but it has taken us nearly a century to get back to that situation. It would be a seriously retrograde step to go back on that progress now. And as Ambassador Jinga mentioned, there are one-and-a-half million Brits enjoying freedom of movement by living and in many cases working in other EU member states. But no country's media vilifies them. Of course there must be adequate provision to deal with aggressive beggars, criminals and "benefit tourists". But the vast majority of Romanians (and Bulgarians) in this country do not fit into that category nor will most of those who come later to work.

Your poem, as per my understanding, describes the fancies of a tired mind, eager to fall asleep. I like the context of the poem. You have been successful in creating a dramatic piece out of a few lines. The length of this poem is definitely a plus.
Now let us see what could have been better. There are a few word choices that strike as odd and tend to disrupt the flow of your poem. 'Every' could be replaced with 'each' or 'all' in line 2.
Lines 4 and 5 could use a rework. The word 'bound' especially feels odd. It gives the impression that the tense is fluctuating, which is probably the case.
The second paragraph starts with a lowercase letter, which I found interesting. I think the whole poem could be in a single paragraph with clever capitalization to cause the effect you desire.
Overall, I like your poem and even more, your thinking behind the same.
Best wishes and looking forward to reading more from you!

Bedroom Design: 4 Different Ways to Dress a Bed
Post by Tracy Kaler.
Now that fall has officially arrived, your bed might need some sprucing up for the change of season. Perhaps you're considering an alternate coverlet or shams, a fresh set of sheets, or even a brand new mattress. Well, even if you're on a budget, you can give your bed a fresh look without breaking the bank. You might try making your bed in a different way, and dressing it up in another fashion. Here are four different ways to dress a bed.
Bedding at the foot
A relaxed fold at the foot of the bed is one way to dress a coverlet or comforter. This one happens to be fairly unstructured, but you could certainly tight it up a bit depending on the thickness of your covering. Doesn't this bed make you want to climb in for a nap?
A tucked band
Use a contrasting piece of fabric for a tucked band like this white Matelassé. Although neutral, 12 inches or so of white coordinates well with the throw pillows. Use a solid, or if you're daring, a pattern. A floral, paisley, or abstract would be a great way to introduce color and interest on an otherwise solid, pattern-free bed. The key is to tuck smoothly and tightly. And you can experiment with different materials for the band; perhaps keep one for each season.
Tucked all around
You'll need crisply pressed sheets for this bed dressing. Fold your flat sheet down over top of the covering, which could be a coverlet or blanket. Tuck all edges in and make a nifty fold in the corners. This clean style works best with an upholstered headboard and bed frame.
Covered in full
Not exactly feeling adventurous in the bed-making department? That's okay! You can still have a stylish bed and keep it simple. With a fluffy comforter like this, the best way is to pull the covering to the top of the bed and under the pillows. This design is quick and painless for those of you with a tight schedule and little time to make the bed each day. And, the matching sham, pillows, and bright orange throw complete the look. See. It's not that tough making a bed, after all.
Remember, there are no rules when it comes to making your bed, except to do it each day. And if none of the above suggestions suit, get creative and design one of your own.

Breakfast in Bed – Scottish Shortbread Cookies
Post by Alison Hein.
Scotland's recent historic vote for independence has got me thinking a lot about this lovely place, its people and its traditions.
The Scots are an ingenious people. Did you know that marmalade, raincoats, tarmac, pneumatic tires, adhesive stamps, penicillin, the bicycle, and the telephone were all invented by Scottish people? I learned this from one of my well-worn and well-loved linen dishcloths gifted to me by my dear friend Anne after a visit to her native homeland many years ago. Anne brought me a second linen at that time, too – this one emblazoned with traditional Scottish recipes: haggis and clootie; cock-a-leekie soup, scones and bridies; and of course, shortbread.
Also ingenious in their simplicity, Scottish recipes require little in the way of provisions, and offer much in the way of flavor. My dishcloth shortbread recipe calls for only three ingredients – flour, sugar, and butter. I've modified this approach over the years, using a light brown sugar for depth and a smooth, subtle splash of vanilla for mellowing. Remember, shortbread is all about the butter, so be sure to use a high quality variety when you try this recipe. You must cut the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven, while the dough is still soft. Then, allow them to cool in the pan for a bit so they won't crumble.
Scotland's history is also rich with music and verse, like this lovely little snippet from the song Bonnie Scotland, I Adore Thee:
Bonnie Scotland, land of grandeur,
Where the sparkling streams meander,
Here will I delight to wander,
Bonnie, Bonnie Scotland.
So, make a quick batch of shortbread, brew some thick, dark tea the way the Scots do, hum along, and surrender – to a bonnie, Scottish breakfast in bed.
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and mix well. Add flour gradually until a thick, crumbly dough has formed. Knead lightly until dough sticks together in a ball, then press evenly into a 9×9-inch pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned, but not crisp. Immediately cut dough into 3×1-inch strips and prick tops with a fork or toothpick. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on a rack until firm. Store in waxed paper-lined tin.
Makes 27 cookies.
Bedtime Stories: Bunnicula
Post by Mark T. Locker.
Bunnicula by James Howe.
Well, school is in session, and since we seem incapable of experiencing any down time between holidays, all the mini fridges and Trapper Keepers are being pulled and replaced with shrieking skeleton heads and bags and bags of candy. Friends, it is officially the start of Halloween season! Personally, I couldn't be more pleased. I love all the masks, monsters, and makeup. Pumpkins, papier–mâché skeletons, and party favors. It's also time to bring in a new collection of spooky stories to share!
My son is now old enough to move past the cutesy Halloween picture books and tackle some heavier material. A couple of those old picture books will forever have a place in my heart, but I'm super excited to share with him the classic vampire story, Bunnicula. Narrated by the family dog, Harold, this story introduces us to the most unusual family of pets I know of. While Harold is very much a family dog, interested in snacks and naps, his companion, a cat named Chester, is a little different. He's well-read and a little paranoid. When the family comes home one rainy night with a bunny they discovered in the movie theater, Chester is immediately wary. And as he begins to put the pieces together, wariness turns to suspicion, to fear. For it becomes clear that this is no ordinary rabbit. For one thing, he only wakes up at night. For another, he can slip in and out of his locked cage in mysterious way. And when Chester discovers that vegetables are suddenly turning bone-white, his fears are confirmed. This bunny is a VAMPIRE!
A little bit spooky, and a whole lot of fun, this book is a great family read to offer goose bumps and laughs in equal measure. Ages 6+
Movies in Bed: Grand Budapest Hotel
Post by Mark T. Locker.
People fall into two camps: those who love Wes Anderson and those who do not. And those who do not tend to voraciously not like him.
Okay, maybe I'm oversimplifying it a bit. I don't love Wes Anderson. But I like some of his movies. Well, I had been told that this movie would be the great crossover hit that would win Wes naysayers over to team Wes. I guess the argument was that this was the least Wes Anderson film that Wes Anderson has made.
I don't know about that. The Fantastic Mr. Fox was pretty unhip. Actually, I thought this had a lot of the same quirkiness that rubs people the wrong way (or what I assume does) what with the particular way everything is arranged and shot and the characters who seem weird for no particular reason. But on the other hand, the plot seemed like a normal plot! And for me, that was a very good thing.
In Grand Budapest Hotel, Ray Fiennes plays M. Gustave, the concierge of the hotel, a perfect gentleman and incredibly suave. He plays the role wonderfully as does Tony Revolori, who plays the young lobby boy Zero who is taken under Gustave's wing. As with all Wes Anderson movies, the cast is peppered with many beloved actors, some appearing only for a moment. But I always grin when Bill Murray appears, even if briefly. I'd say this movie is worth watching if you aren't a staunch anti-Anderson fanatic. It's got a great story, likable characters, and everything is okay in the end.
Bedroom Design: Four Stunning Bedrooms That Scream Hollywood Glamour
Post by Tracy Kaler.
The Glamour of Hollywood has influenced interiors for decades, and continues to do so today with bold colors, plush textiles, and dramatic black and white photography. Alluring and seductive, these four bedrooms will make you feel Academy Award worthy, and ready to settle in with a dry martini and one of your favorite films in bed.
The teal, cream, and gold color scheme is not only appealing, but soothing and comfortable. The high tufted headboard with the furry throw pillows bring luxury, the mirrored nightstands add a touch of vintage, while the geometric wall covering sets the room's mood. The decorative throw is magnificent and feminine, and the fuzzy rug softens.
White probably doesn't seem an obvious color choice for a Hollywood-style bedroom, but here we see that's not the case! A shag rug, faux fur bed covering, and pendant lamps exude decadence. The classic Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair defines the corner, and a simple black and white picture hangs almost too high, yet balances the lowness of the rest of the space.
The silver and red color scheme is all it takes to feel rich and glamorous in this Four Seasons residence. Components like the tufted platform king bed, the over-sized crimson sofa, the silver wall-to-wall carpeting, and the simple, modern lighting create a feeling of grandeur. In my opinion, the abstract art is the focal point in the room.
This bedroom is an example of true glam, Hollywood style. Silk upholstery, lucite and glass are simply bewitching in this space by Barclay Butera. The room boasts just the right amount of pattern, while the ivory color scheme contrasts, and the lighting creates ambiance. This five-star room looks like a celebrity's sanctuary.

The grounds for which Wikimedia is basing its lawsuit involve the mass surveillance program that the NSA has been implementing. One of the most troublesome facets of this program, according to Wikimedia's pleading, is the NSA's search and seizure of internet communications, which is called "Upstream" surveillance. Wikimedia argues that these actions violate its users most basic of rights, citing the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protection of freedom of speech, and Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure because defendants' conduct involved suspicionless seizure and searching of Internet traffic by NSA on U.S. soil.
The founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, continues to emphasize that user privacy is of utmost importance. When such privacy is put in question, and people fear that their information will be leaked, the Wiki experience is seriously undermined. This issue, with the NSA specifically, was made much more serious and real with the Edward Snowden 2013 public disclosures, which revealed information about Wikimedia's programs. According to its blog postings, Wikimedia has been looking for a way to file a lawsuit ever since this incident. Zeroing in on the "upstream" surveillance aspect allows the suit to serve as a vehicle to address Wikimedia's views on how…..

@paul1977 I can try and remember to do it. If you are awake late at night can you PM me after 9pm and when I get back from Squash if it's not too late, I'll try it.
Honestly, we don't use the scheduler so I am not sure off the top of my head.
I don't know about the AP switch, it's not something I'm inclined to try right now honestly.

Cool finds for Wednesday 6th February
So Part of why I started this blog was because I wanted to create a place that blended the politics, aesthetics and ideas of Solarpunk with the frameworks and ideas and concepts offered in paganism. Its a pretty rare combination, but its something which can actually have some really profound ideas birthed from combining the two.
So imagine my surprise when I was introduced to not one, but 2 content creators who produce content around these themes.
Angie Speaks
The first is Angie of Angie Speaks, a youtube essayist who definitely deserves more clicks than shes getting. Angie explores how Jungian and metaphysical ideas and concepts can be used to examine large cultural trends. her first video is a great example of this:
Empires fall podcast
part of the content from a great site for anti-capitalist pagans https://abeautifulresistance.org who post online content as well as publish a line of books. Empires fall is a podcast that looks at the current political and ecological crisis through the lenses of paganism and magical concepts. I highly recommend starting with their episode explaining Egrigories as a way of viewing national identity.
If you guys have any more resources like this please do let me know. I think this is a fascinating area of study and would love to know more.Follow me on these sites

Penny For Your Thoughts (The Sand Dollar Series) by J.D Boudreaux – Review by Sarah Oakes
Penny For Your Thoughts by J.D. Boudreaux
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A great read about kindness. Penny Scott is a journalist just starting out on her career. Whilst doing a project about good Samaritans, she is helped get back on the road by stranger Alex. Bumping into him at a mall, she becomes friends with him over food. Slowly, they fall for each other but can their relationship survive their busy work schedules?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Alex sarcastic but kind underneath or Penny standing up for herself but caring underneath/ Great cast of supporting characters like the voice of reason in Aarpn or the sweet mother figure of Emily or the teasing father James.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the busy city full of life and people or the scenes in the park with the pond and the bridge across the island with its white bench in the gentle beauty of nature as one quiet spot, intimate and peaceful. Or the use of food, with its scents and smells so strong as if you were there, comforting and homely. I also loved the play on words and use of language which was cleverly done perfectly written to create the sense of wit and humour the book needed for the realistic nature of lovers teasing each other
I loved how the way the romance developed from people liking each other first instead of couples coming from beginnings in hatred as is more common. This made the romance more believable and relatable for the reader and also more realistic and engaging. An enjoyable romance. Overal, a great read and I would give it five stars.

Summer Term@Pott Shrigley Church School- Sports Day
Date: 21st Jun 2018 @ 9:52am
A day in the life of Pott Shrigley School Sports Day 2018.
It was a splendid day, especially whan the 4 reception girls ran up the hill dancing with the finish line ribbon. It made everyone's day!!!
And now welcome our four teams...
the POPPING POPCORN!!!
Now entering the stage is the UMPA UMPAS!!!
Looks like the FLAMING FROGS are running down the lane!!!
And finnially TEAM HOGWARTS!!!
One of our favourite races of the day was the intense sack race. Most of us were feeling nervous for this race in case we fell to the ground like a sack of spuds!! There were no injuries though thankfully. After that race we all had a well-earned tasty break of Grannelli's famous ICE-CREAM! It set us up well for the second half, particularly the boundary race. All of the children did impressively well to get round the whole field. And the races couldn't have finished better than a teacher's race! Well done to Jordan for coming first. We wouldn't have expected anything less from our sports teacher.
And the winners are
in 4th place is...THE FLAMING FROGS!!!!
Next in 3rd place is...POPPING POPCORN!!!
In 2nd place is...TEAM HOGWARTS!!
So that means that UMPA LOOMPAS came in first place!
Well done everybody!

To begin, the first rule is usually that as soon as your family car has failed its MOT test, the required period for the completion of any repair and any pursuing re-test is only 10 trading days after your original day of test. This is valid so long as the family car is remedied and thereafter registered for a re-test prior to the end of 10 business days. If all of the above has been undertaken, consequently the computerised MOT test program all MOT garages utilise will definitely, at this time, make it possible for us to register the car and perform re-test.
So, it therefore follows that the second procedure would be that within the MOT re-test it is often times the case that some issues are often re-tested quickly nonetheless on the contrary particular points warrant a good deal more deliberated checking.
To illustrate;
For this reason even though we, and each individual MOT station, promotes and offers FREE tests this is actually, in many instances, based on when your vehicle or light van is delivered for its MOT test in Redditch and therefore what exactly the family car failed the MOT upon.
IMPORTANT - if it turns out the car fails to pass the MOT check with us here in Redditch VOSA MOT garage and it is thereafter mended by us, then following that we are able to almost always accomplish a retest FREE (i.e. 100 percent free), this is our thanks to you for opting to try our Redditch VOSA MOT test garage workshops.
If you need more explanation, then what follows is a listing of the cost-free retest items (if your vehicle failed the MOT on some of these items then a rapid retest can be carried out).
Just enter your name and phone number and one of our dedicated customer care team members will call you right back pronto!

For an Easter cake recipe choice that's super light thanks to the use of clotted cream over butter, try this tasty lemon and lime drizzle cake this year and your guests will adore it. It's a Spring dessert recipe that the whole family will love.
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 225g (8oz) caster sugar
- 227g tub clotted cream
- zest 1 lemon
- ¼tsp lemon extract
- 200g (7oz) self-raising flour
- for the syrup and topping
- juice 1 lime and 1 lemon, plus a little extra lemon juice, for the topping
- 100g (4oz) granulated sugar
- 150g (5oz) icing sugar
- lemon and lime zest, to decorate
- you will need
- 20cm (8in) round cake tin, buttered
Heat the oven to 180 C, 160 C fan, 350 F, gas 4. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with an electric beater until the mixture is pale and thick.
Stir the cream until smooth and mix with a pinch of salt, then gently stir into the eggs with the lemon zest and extract. Sift in the flour, fold in gently, spoon into the tin and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the cake is golden and firm and a skewer inserted into the middle of it comes out clean. Cover with foil if it browns too quickly.
Make the syrup by mixing the lemon and lime juices with the granulated sugar. Prick the cake all over with a skewer; pour the syrup over. The sugar will form a crunchy topping and the juice will sink into the cake. Decorate with glacé icing made by mixing the icing sugar and a little lemon juice, then sprinkle with zest.

Synergy Debt Group's Misleading Claims | synergydebt.ca
The Synergy Debt Group Inc. (website: synergydebt.ca) is an American telemarketing debt management company that is run out of Melbourne, Florida by Wav Services Team. Synergy Debt Group "Counsellors" are paid commission to sign up as many people as possible for their debt management program. This company makes a lot of claims about itself and its services that we believe are false and misleading. We would like to shed some light on these claims and provide some background information on this company so that Canadians can be informed.
|Synergy Debt Group Inc., synergydebt.ca, is run by the same people who ran the Vortex Debt Group.
The information contained in this article has been obtained from Synergy Debt Group's former clients, current and former employees, government agencies and industry professionals. We have spent many hours painstakingly verifying all information presented in this article to make sure that it is as accurate as possible.
- Synergy Debt Group's False Claims
- Synergy Debt is Not Licensed in Most of Canada
- Their Employees Falsely Claim that Their Company is Canadian and has an Office in Scarborough, Ontario
- Their Program Majorly Impacts Your Credit
- Many Major Creditors Refuse to Work with Any For-Profit Credit Counselling Company including Synergy Debt Group
- Their Interest Rates Don't Change Very Often
- The Company's Legitimacy is Questionable
- Synergy Debt Group Inc. is Really the Vortex Debt Group and Wave Group Marketing
- How to Find a Reputable Debt Relief or Credit Counselling Agency
Synergy Debt Group's Incorrect Claims
Here are the false claims that Synergy Debt seems to be promoting:
- They claim to be a Canadian company and have a Canadian office in Scarborough, Ontario.
- They say they are licensed to provide their services in Canada. They further claim to be licensed in all provinces.
- They claim their debt management program has "no negative impact on your credit score," and it "allows you to maintain your credit."
- They claim that all creditors work with them—even creditors who have a policy of not dealing with for-profit credit counselling companies like their company.
- You should sign up with them right away because the low interest rates that creditors are offering today may not be available tomorrow.
Synergy Debt Group is Not Licensed in Most of Canada
Synergy Debt is only licensed in Ontario and Alberta. The fact that they claim to be licensed in all 10 provinces but are only licensed in 2 is again a substantial distortion of the truth. If you do not live in Ontario or Alberta and Synergy Debt tried to sell you one of their Debt Management Programs, than that was illegal.
To offer a debt management program, the laws of most provinces require that an agency be licensed as a debt pooler. Anyone without a criminal conviction can obtain a debt pooler license in most provinces. Obtaining this license does not mean that an agency has been thoroughly investigated by the provincial licensing body, nor does it mean that the licensing body approves of an agency's business practices in any way.
Synergy Debt Employees Falsely Claim that Their Company is Canadian and has an Office in Scarborough, Ontario
Synergy Debt is 100% American owned and operated, and it has no offices in Canada. Synergy Debt Group and its related companies—Clear Blue Debt Solutions, Wave Group Marketing and others—are all run out of the same office in Melbourne, Florida by Tim McCallan,"the biggest fish to have never been caught in any regulator crackdown (source of quote)." These companies' telemarketing sales office and their processing department are located at 3270 Suntree Blvd, Suites 102A & 102B, Melbourne, FL 32940.
|Synergy Debt Group's office in Melbourne, Florida. All of their sales and processing staff are located in suites 102A & 102B of this building. These are the same offices and staff that ran the Vortex Debt Group.
Further proof that Synergy Debt Group Inc. is an American company is drawn from the fact that it is incorporated in the state of Delaware, and the Officer, President, and Director for that company are registered as Wendy Manzo, Tim McCallan's employee. On the second page of Synergy Debt's client agreement it states that "this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware." Canadian companies don't put clauses like this in their contracts.
The Canadian office address that is listed on the Synergy Debt Group's website, synergydebt.ca, is prominently displayed on their client agreements and is quoted by Synergy Debt employees is only a mail box. Synergy Debt Group does not have a real office in Canada, and they never have. The mail box they rent is called a "virtual office." The receptionist for the virtual office answers the phone number for each of the mail boxes with the company's name so that it sounds like you have actually reached the company. The receptionist then transfers your call to the company's real office which in this case is a telemarketing call centre in Melbourne, Florida.
You can see the rental listing for Synergy Debt Group's virtual office at 100 Consilium Place Suite 200, Scarborough, Ontario by clicking here.
There is nothing wrong with renting a mail box or a virtual office. However, if a company uses the office to deliberately deceive people, then they have clearly crossed the line. Based on our investigation and information we've obtained from a former employee, Synergy Debt Employees is clearly misleading and deceiving the Canadian public. All of their employees claim that the company's real office is at the same mail box in Scarborough, Ontario. When asked for details, the employees would say things like "everything is outsourced to (the call centre in) Florida because it's cheaper" and once you sign up for your program "everything will be handled by the Ontario office." One employee went on to elaborate about all of the things that the Ontario office does including "processing," "creditor relations," and other things. The only problem of course is that the Scarborough office is only a mail box.
Synergy Debt Group's Program Majorly Impacts Your Credit
The Debt Management Program that Synergy Debt Group offers will have a major negative impact on your credit score for 6 – 7 years. In no way does it allow you to maintain your credit. Non profit credit counselling organizations that offer a legitimate version of this program have the authority to erase the records of debts that are enrolled on their Debt Management Programs 2 years after their clients finish their programs. To our knowledge the Synergy Debt Group does not have the ability to do this. So while their program may help some people's credit a bit, overall it is far more likely to have a very negative impact.
Synergy Debt's client agreement contradicts their sales representatives and furthers our point by stating that in signing their agreement a client acknowledges that they "recognize that participation in Synergy debt management program could have an adverse effect on [their] credit report (page 1)," and Synergy "will not provide or engage in credit repair or undertake to eliminate any negative entries on [their client's] credit report (page 2)."
Creditors May Refuse to Work with Synergy Debt Group
Synergy Debt Group claims that all creditors work with them. However, based on our experiences with a number of creditors, we know that this isn't always true. Former Synergy clients have told us that American Express, MBNA, and a couple of credit unions refused to deal with them. So we called American Express and MBNA to verify Synergy Debt's claim. The representatives that we spoke with at American Express and MBNA both assured us that they do not work with the Synergy Debt Group. This is all the more disturbing since we called the Synergy Debt Group as a normal consumer who was interested in their service and Synergy's "processing department" provided us in writing with a fictitious interest rate of 0% that they claim American Express was offering their clients. This is a claim that American Express denies as it is contrary to their policy of not dealing with for-profit credit counselling companies.
Synergy Debt Group's Interest Rates Don't Change Very Often
One representative we spoke with at Synergy Debt told us that we would be smart to sign up for their program right away because "interest rate offers fluctuate with the market." This is false. If a creditor is willing to work with Synergy Debt, they will have a standard reduced interest rate that they will charge Synergy Debt's clients. These rates are very rarely changed by creditors. So there is absolutely no need for anyone to rush into signing anything. The only change in interest rates that Synergy Debt employees may observe is if the clients they are signing up hardly qualify for interest relief, then the creditor may only reduce their interest rate by a small amount—or they may not reduce it at all.
Synergy Debt Group's Legitimacy is Questionable
We called the Synergy Debt Group several times as a normal consumer who was not experiencing financial difficulty. Our only complaint was that we didn't like paying 20% interest on our credit cards each month. Each time Synergy Debt's "Counsellors" were more than willing to sign us up for their program. Based on our extensive experience providing Debt Management Programs to Canadians, we know that creditors would be very unlikely to accept our debts onto a Debt Management Program based on the situation we outlined.
This experience with Synergy Debt lends credibility to a former Synergy Debt employee's claim that all the company really cares about is signing up people for its programs and collecting the first few payments. Synergy Debt's client agreement further arouses our suspicions that this allegation may be true. Synergy Debt's client agreement dated June 27, 2011 stipulates that their clients must accept the following:
- "My first payment to Synergy will not be disbursed to my creditors (page 1)." Synergy will keep 100% of this payment. This practice is unheard of among reputable credit counselling organizations. This does not help the client and instead creates a hardship for them by forcing them to make a double payment on their first month of the program since Synergy's contract states that you must still pay your creditors yourself until the second month.
- "The first 90 days of the program . . . is the amount of time my creditors need to process my accounts and apply my benefits (page 1)." This may be true in some exceptional cases, but most of the time, most creditors will respond to a credit counselling agency within approximately 30 days. We would be very concerned if Synergy was waiting until 90 days to break the news to its clients that many of their creditors refused to allow the client's debt to go on the program.
- "All fees are non refundable (page 1)." We sincerely hope that Synergy Debt is not holding out for 90 days so that they can keep their client's first three payments. Unfortunately, the ex-employee we spoke with insists that they are.
- If a client feels that they have been wronged by the Synergy Debt Group, they will either have to travel to the state of Delaware or hire a lawyer in Delaware to proceed with legal action. Synergy's contract clearly states that, "this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any action to interpret or enforce this agreement shall be brought solely before the courts of that state (page 2)."
We believe that these business practices stated in Synergy Debt's client agreement, calls the legitimacy of their company into question, and when these business practices are viewed in light of Synergy Debt's owner's track record and the allegations of many of his former employees, we have very serious concerns about the legitimacy of this company. All legitimate non-profit organizations who offer Debt Management Programs only offer them to around 20% of the people that seek their help. The reason for this is that these programs are not appropriate for the financial circumstances of 80% of people who seek help with their debts. There are many other options that legitimate credit counselling agencies will present to people who a Debt Management Program doesn't make sense for.
Legitimate credit counselling agencies know what options may be the right fit for their clients because they help each of their clients prepare a budget that takes into account all of their financial obligations along with their assets and income. When we called the Synergy Debt Group, they did not do any of this. If they don't carefully analyze your financial situation, then they are in no position to recommend financial solutions to anyone. This is another huge red flag that we believe calls their motives and business practices into question.
Synergy Debt Group Inc. is Really the Vortex Debt Group and Wave Group Marketing (WAV Services Team)
The email signatures of Synergy
Debt Group and Clear Blue Debt
Solutions "Counsellors" don't
mention either of these
companies. Instead they indicate
that these people work for WAV
Services Team which we are told
is Wave Group Marketing.
Synergy Debt Group Inc., Clear Blue Debt Solutions Inc. and the Vortex Debt Group all appear to be run through—and all employees are paid by—Wave Group Marketing or Wav Services Team (former and existing employees of these companies have confirmed this. This is also referenced on employee email signatures. They read "WAV Services Team."). Timothy McCallan appears to either own or control all of these companies and operate them all from the same offices in Melbourne, Florida. Establishing that all of these companies are run by the same people is important because their track record is informative. To read more about the predecessor to Synergy Debt Group, the Vortex Debt Group, click here to see our review. Here are some of the highlights from that review:
- Synergy Debt Group Inc's Predecessor, the Vortex Debt Group, Engaged in "Deceptive and Unfair Practices"
The "Vortex Debt Group engaged in deceptive and unfair practices by promising to reduce consumers' debt, taking significant fees from consumers in exchange for this claimed service, and failing to actually reduce consumers' debts. This often left consumers with more debt and less money." - Attorney General's Office from the state of Missouri on why they banned Vortex from their state and ordered them to refund all fees paid by their clients.
Colorado's Attorney General also canceled and revoked Vortex's license on July 1, 2011.
- BBB Warned Consumers about the Vortex Debt Group
In February 2011 the Vancouver Better Business Bureau (BBB) warned Canadians about dealing with the Vortex Debt Group. In the U.S., Vortex has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau—the worst rating possible on a scale of A+ to F—after the BBB received numerous complaints.
- Vortex's Success Rate Likely Less Than 10%
A government investigation estimated that the success rate of for-profit debt settlement companies like Vortex was less than 10%. One past and one current Vortex employee confirmed this. The former employee estimated that the actual success rate was less than 5%. Meanwhile, Vortex's sales people were telling Canadians that they have an extremely high success rate.
- CBC News Exposed the Vortex Debt Group
The CBC blew the whistle on the Vortex Debt Group and accused them charging desperate people high fees but then leaving them worse off with more debt.

Update: July 25, 2012
CTV News investigative reporter, Lynda Steele, presents her findings on the Synergy Debt Group and warns that "American debt settlement companies are preying on vulnerable" Canadians. Full CTV story on Synergy Debt Group.
Notes: We have withheld the identity of the former Synergy Debt employee who came forward to us with more information on the Vortex Debt Group, Synergy Debt Group and Clear Blue Debt Solutions. The employee came forward after they saw the CBC's news story on Vortex. The former employee fears retribution from their employer if the employer were to find out who the former employee is. We have reason to believe that the former employee's concerns are valid. We have provided this employees allegations and our findings to the appropriate Canadian authorities.
Based on the information that the former employee provided to us, we have been able to verify numerous details about these companies including the fact that Synergy Debt Group and Clear Blue Debt Solutions employees are paid $9.62 per hour plus a 30% commission of their client's first payments "after they hit $6,000" in total first payments signed up for the month. So the employees of these companies earn more money if they manage to sign up more people onto these companies programs.
Synergy Debt Group, Inc.
Thank you very much for your sharing your information on Synergy Debt Group, Inc.
I have to say that I am not
I have to say that I am not surprised to read this as I am having major issues with them right now. They have not been up front with me about several different issues and because of them I am behind in my payments. Too much to get into in this message but I have lost all trust in this company and want to get out. They did not tell me that the first payment went to them. They take my money out on the 15th of the month and my creditors do not receive it until almost the 11th of the next month. Also one of my creditors has not been paid and they do not deal with Synergy group and said that Synergy Dept knows this. When I talked to someone at Synergy Debt , they told me that it can take up to 120 days after the first payment to them to decide whether they will give me a reduced interest rate. When I signed up, they guy made it sound like he had already been talking to the creditors and that they agreed to set amounts, only to find out after I had signed the contract that this was not so. I would call and someone would talk with me and it would satisfy me until the next problem came up. Then they would talk with me like I was a crazy lady who needed to be talked off of the ledge or something, Which I did not appreciate that is for sure. Right now I just feel stupid however I am not the first and I will not be the last. The thing is, I pride myself on doing my due diligence . Obviously I did not look hard enough. Thank you for all the info. I may be calling for your help.
Huh. Interesting. I saw the

Huh. Interesting. I saw the Alberta number come up on my phone enough over the last few months that I took the call today to see who it was. I happened to be thinking about options for debt management so I entertained the call. Of course once I showed interest, I was bounced to the Florida "call centre".

Man was the guy slick. I wasn't born yesterday, but he really had me convinced this was legit. I assumed there were some games involved, so I tried negotiating, etc. I felt like he was the car salesman and had to run off to approve my counter-proposals with some non-existent manager. This didn't raise any flags to me, but I kept trying to understand the business he was in, and flat-out asked him a few times how they made their money. He definitely answered all my questions to my satisfaction, but holy smokes, if all this is true, it was all lies!

He told me three times, with absolute clarity, NO, this plan WILL NOT affect your credit in any way whatsoever, unlike a debt settlement plan would. He was slick, yet I saw through it enough that I suspected they discouraged debt settlement plans, or at least priced them in a way to force you to say, yeah, the other plan sounds better.

After a little pushing, and totally to his credit as a salesman, really only a little pushing, he clarified that there was a $50 fee to manage the account per month. I was led to believe this was the only fee involved, and that this was the primary source of their revenue. I'm a supporter of entrepreneurs, so sure, that sounded fair.

At NO point was any of the other stuff in this article mentioned to me, and I took up a good chunk of his day, making him call me back a few times after he went and got "approval" for some things.

The one thing he told me they couldn't negotiate was the total monthly payment vs. total debt. He told me their monthly fee was based on the rate my creditors would give, which he said was 0% for all but my PC Mastercard, plus THEIR rules. Is this not true?

Anyway, I wanted to add my two cents' worth because this site potentially saved my butt. I can tell this guy tomorrow no way, eh?

I have no problems with a group trying to make a buck, but if they're preying on the desperate, hoping they won't read the contract before signing it, oh man... This is much worse than the clipboard guys at your front door asking for your hydro bill.

Thanks for the input! If you guys could post links to the CBC thing or the BBB ratings, etc. that would be cool. I'll check again in case I just missed that info; read it on my iphone...

Thanks for sharing your
Thanks for sharing your experience, Darryl. In many ways it is very similar to ours. Their sales people are very persuasive. Some of what they say is true, but unfortunately, a lot is misleading. We don't have any problem with entrepreneurs trying to make a buck helping people, but they must be truthful, properly disclose the risks and the costs, and make sure that their "solution" is the most appropriate one for your situation. Statistically speaking, the Debt Management Program that Synergy sells will not work well for around 80% of the people who are interested in it. I hope that the Synergy sales rep carefully went over every aspect of your budget, assets, and liabilities before offering you their program. If he didn't, then there is no way that he could know if his program was the right fit for you. After analyzing your financial information, a reputable Credit Counsellors would normally lay out for you all of your options and discuss with you the pros and cons of each one - and each one definitely has a down side.
To answer your other
To answer your other questions, the links to the BBB and CBC story are on the page. Sorry you couldn't see them on your phone. In regards to Synergy offering you 0% interest on most of your credit cards, that may be true. All major creditors will drastically reduce or eliminate your credit card interest rate if they approve your debt for a debt management program. However, not all creditors will work with for-profit debt management companies like Synergy. Some claim to only work with non-profit organizations.
Creditors are very smart. They will only approve your debt for a debt management program if it makes sense to them. Many debt settlement companies can claim that creditors work with them, but that doesn't mean that creditors approve many of the proposals that they send in. This is why trust and reputation are so important. Call your creditors and ask them which credit counselling organizations they trust in your area.
In regard to your sales rep having to check with his manager to offer you a better deal, in our experience that is completely unheard of with reputable debt relief agencies. Usually there is no negotiation on interest rates with creditors. Most of the time they have blank policies and set interest rates for debt management programs. If Big Bank Visa is offering 0% interest to other Synergy clients, then that's likely what they are going to give you to – provided Synergy can get them to approve your debt for their debt management program.
Oh yes, and while you are on a debt management program, you will have to give up your credit cards and live on a cash budget for the 3 to 5 years it takes to pay off your program. We hope he disclosed this to you and offered help and coaching in living on a cash budget.
I signed up with them not
I signed up with them not long ago and to date the company that synergy is supposed to pay on my behalf has only received ONE payment...how can i get out of this? is there any way to stop dealing with synergy? they keep taking my payments every month but the company never gets their payment and i am behind 3 months???? i guess i'm just a sucker......
Hi Gayle,
Hi Gayle,

You're not a sucker. If you are paying them money to provide you with a service and they aren't delivering, then the problem is with them and not with you. Here is what you can do:

- If you wish to end your program with Synergy, just close the bank account that they are withdrawing money from. That will end the program.
- You should also demand all of your money back since they did not provide you with the service that you signed up for.
- You should contact the consumer protection authority in your province and file a formal complaint. It sounds like a number of illegal things may be happening here.
- You should file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau so that others can be warned.
- Keep in touch with your creditor and let them know what is going on.
- Consider contacting a non-profit credit counselling service (like ourselves) to find out what your best options are to repay your debt in a way that is affordable to you.

Taken in
I was taken in by synergy group last year, I got wise ang got out of it by going thru consumer proposal with a lawyer. My question is how do I recoup the two payments that I made to them, it was around $1100?
Taken in

If they didn't settle any debts for you, then we would suggest that you call them up and demand a refund. If you aren't satisfied with their response you can escalate the matter to the Better Business Bureau and also file an official complaint with the Consumer Protection authority in your province. However, there still isn't any guarantee that you'll get any money back. For this reason many people are now complaining to their local MLA to encourage their provincial government to crack down on debt settlement companies.

how to I get myself out of this situation
I cannot get reach this company. I want to pay off my debt, with getting a bad credit score etc.
Re: Getting Out of This Situation
Hi Laura, Give us a call and speak with one of our Credit Counsellors. They can help you look at your situation and help you figure out the best way to resolve it.
WAV Service Team - Harassing Calls

How do I make them stop calling.
I told them I'm not interested in their services not once but three times and still they keep calling.
once to twice a day.

How do I make them stop.

Re: WAV Service Team - Harassing Calls
Hi Ray,
This sounds like harassment. WAV Services Team is likely licensed as the Synergy Debt Group in your province. Their license will be with your provincial consumer protection authority. We would suggest that you tell the representative from the WAV Services Team that you will file a formal complaint both with the consumer protection authority in your province and the Better Business Bureau if these calls continue.
My dad got suckered into it as well, and Synergy has not made any payments towards his MasterCard, and has majorly affected his credit. My dad signed up for this in December 2011 and it is January now so only 2 payments have been sent to Synergy but they have not made any payments towards his mastercard. How can we get out of this, and rectify his credit ? Please help us....
Re: Synergy..help...
Hi Susan, Your dad's agreement with Synergy is voluntary. So he can leave it at any time. He just needs to notify them and then close the account that payments are coming from.
Unfortunatly, your dad's credit can't be fixed. The payments that were missed will show on his credit report for the next 6 years. However, your father can minimize the damage by contacting his creditors and making arrangements to straighten things out with them as soon as possible. If your father is having difficulty making his payments, it might be a good idea to suggest that he speak with a non-profit Credit Counsellor and find out what all of his options are.
Synergy Debt Group
Just an F.Y.I on this subject, Capital Debt Relief, Elimidebt, First Consumer Debt Consolidation, Clear Blue, Achievable, Vortex, Debt Sheild and Intellidebt are ALL ran out of the same FL call center as Synergy. If you know of anyone who is associated with any of these companies, please tell them to cut their losses and get out now.....they are folding fast, letting people go left and right, and there are rumors that their business bank accounts have been frozen for months. There are MANY not for profit organizations that can provide better service.


text: So what is it and what does it do? Theres a fair bit in the bible about faith, things like without it we can't please God, by it we are saved from a future without him… it's probably good thing to get a grip on. In the bible, Hebrews 11 gives a list of examples of people who lived by faith. As i read the passage again, it seems that each of these men and women were tuned into a reality, a different drum beat; it could be that they were tuned into God's reality, his way of seeing things. But not only that, they made choices and acted on the basis of this different reality, and it seems that that's why their names are recorded amongst God's heroes. So, simply put, perhaps faith is seeing things from God's point of view and making choices on the basis of that. It begs the question though, how do we see God's view point? Well, i guess God has given us his word, the bible, to help us tune into his ways. As we live with God's word and take it into our lives, we will begin to see things the way he does, it's like we begin to see things with a new set of eyes. But i know for me that its possible to know God's word and for it to make no difference in my life because i see it as simply interesting information or trivia, useful to look good and win arguments. But when i am willing to let myself be changed by his word, let it challenge, impact and encourage me, that's when i start to grow up. In fact the bible warns that if we are not willing to be changed we won't get what's right there in front of us. Which brings us full circle, faith isn't just about seeing things the way God sees them, its about acting on it as well
