Its amazing that QB manages to stay in business with customer support that is so poor.
In the 2 months I have been using QB I have contacted customer support maybe 6 times, each time is really painful experience.
For example 10 days ago I requested a Payroll Rollback and every day get told it will be done in 24 hours and then after 10 days I get a stupid canned response that has nothing to do with my request.
Are you using Desktop QB or QBO? If QBO, Do you have full service payroll or Enhanced? When you say "roll back" do you mean cancel payroll?
I use full service for most of my clients that need payroll. Unfortunately, their support system for the payroll side of things is not the greatest. Very long hold times. Also, it is hard to get them to give you anything in writing. It definitely needs improvement.
On the good side of things, the payroll being part of the program makes life so much easier. Payroll is also run by a company called Paycyle. So it is not exactly Intuit. Intuit has great support for ProAdvisors, especially if you are Diamond level. I wish they had that for payroll for us.
I concur.. The app is OK, but their support is just unforgiveable.
The support staff do not know what they're talking about.
I raised an Nginx server error with them today, clearly their responsibility - it was stopping me getting to the login screen, so hardly anything I could have done.
Their support team sent me this link... which is not for quickbooks online, and quite frankly is just dangerous to start asking their clients to mess with registry keys... Which would have zero impact on the problem..
I agree with you - I will be surprised if they remain in business with this level of support!
Its crazy they sent a link like that.
I had the 502 error before as well, after 3 attempts at finding a support operator who knew what they were doing it seemed to be related to the login URL being cached in a cookie.
If you still get that error try deleting cookies from your browser history and use this URL
Got to be the worst customer support I have ever encountered
Hello all,
I want to ensure you get the support you need. I'd be glad to help you out here.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
QBO as such is a good product, but being launched not too long ago, it still has bugs and issues for which good customer service is vital. Intuit customer service is a prime example of the arrogance and greediness of IT tech companies like Intuit. One of the worst I can think. off.
Stay away from QBO until they provide a decent customer service. Main issues
1) talking to a live person at their customer service takes between 30-50 minutes waiting time
2) with the chronic waiting time / why does Intuit not allow to send questions on-line. I can wait a day for their reponse. It s much better for the stress level than wasting time and blocking my Telephone for my own customers.
Intuit SHAME ON YOU! If you care a little big about opinon on QBO, respond to this feedback without the generic bla-bla excuses. come out with a plan that exceptionally is for the benefit of your customer! THANK YOU!
Hey there, ws2802.
Thanks for reaching out here in the Community.
Good news, you've reached the right place for support. This space is very popular among QuickBooks users who come in to ask questions and receive answers from peers, as well as Intuit employees.
Additionally, if you're a fan of social media, you can reach out for assistance via Twitter (@QBCares) and Facebook (Intuit QuickBooks). There's a great team of agents working in these channels that would be glad to help get you back to business, all while avoiding hold times.
If you have any specific questions about QuickBooks, I'd be glad to lend a hand.
Case in point.. Two weeks ago the link with Santander went down.
I emailed support, who told me to change my password, try deleting and linking the bank again, which of course didn't work.
I then have an online chat with someone 3 days later who said they were aware of the issue.
It then took a week to fix.
Why on earth they didn't think it right to email the people who had Santander bank accounts set up in a proactive way is beyond me..
Why wait for clients to have issues and get pissed off..
One star, and that is because you have to click at least one
overall rating terrible
I'm going to forward your feedback on the Santander issue to our UK team, but I also wanted to let you know there is a dedicated post about Santander in our UK community that was created by our UK moderator : https://qbcommunity.com/t5/Banking/Santander-Bank-Feed-Connection/m-p/163831

Egads. I had no idea. I used to work at one of the call centers. The one I was at just recently shut down. I feel a little ashamed now. I know I always did everything I could, but I also know plenty of people who wanted you off their phone as quickly as possible and they would get you off at any expense. (Probably why mine shut down)
Please don't get me wrong. There were some amazing people there who would bend over backward for someone. People who would stop at nothing to find a resolution and loved doing it. There were people there who started out like that and then got burnt out too. I hated seeing that.
The Intuit culture is beyond incredible. I truly wish more people were able to interact directly with Intuit. What a lot of people don't realize is that when they call for support, they are actually getting a call center that is not run by Intuit. Sadly, there is only a very small amount of the Intuit culture and positivity that gets transferred into those call centers.
A lot of the call centers don't understand how Intuit Support works. They want you off the phone as quickly as possible because that is how they get paid. So they rush the agents off the phone. The agents who really want to do a good job and try are suddenly made to feel like they are failing because you can't solve Intuit issues at the drop of a hat. A lot of issues require honest to God hard investigation. Intuit preaches the opposite. They want support agents to stay on the phone with you as long as it takes. It is really very sad.
I am going to go eat a bucket of ice cream now and cry into my pillow. Excuse me.
*waddles off*
@Pen - Trust me, I think EVERYONE knows that the support has been outsourced.
I feel sorry for you personally, and I agree that there must be some good staff at these call centres, but as you can see in these forums, there are a LOT of unhappy customers due to the lack of support.
It would be far better if Intuit took some responsibility of the issues, and tried to be proactive with their customer base, but seems like they're not interested.
@ChrisHaines The part that really got me was what @Rustler posted with the links from Consumer Affairs and Customer Service Score Boards. *Glares at Rustler* Ripped out my poor little heart he did. *grins*
It was very interesting. The call I was at supported Quickbooks Online (QBO) for three years. I came in during year two and loved it. Immediately. This was in no small part because there was this amazing person, Sam, from Intuit that came to monitor our training class. I learned a lot from her. I siphoned off some of the Intuit cultures. It was great. Pablo, Matt, and Chris were all my trainers and they were all with the company I worked for. But they had been a part of the QBO piece from the beginning. So they were also steeped in the QBO culture. I was probably a part of the last class that got any of that. Matt and Pablo were still around, but Sam went back to Arizona and Chris died shortly after I was out on the floor. And Chris. Chris was probably a huge part of what made me love QBO as much as I do. Anyway.
What I had noticed is that the people who had been there from the get-go had absorbed a lot of the heart of Intuit. Some of the Subject Matter Experts got to go to Arizona for training. People from Intuit were spending time on site. Stuff like that. It was when Intuit sort of... stepped back and said okay they have this now that the culture started getting lost and metrics became king once more. I came in just as that tsunami was hitting, but I somehow managed to get on top of the wave and ride it in. Then again, that is generally what I do. Unsinkable Penguin Brown. That's me.
I suppose what really makes me sad is that you are absolutely right Chris. They don't seem to be taking any responsibility for their customer support. I genuinely thought it was just our call center because I have seen first hand the care Intuit is capable of. I know the potential that lies there and now I see it being squandered.
So that leaves people like me and my best friend Audy to pick up the slack. Chris if you, or anyone else reading this post, ever needs anything I truly hope you will let me know. If it is in my power, I will do everything I can to help. If I can't then I will do everything in my power to find someone who can. *grins* Like I said. Unsinkable Penguin Brown. Maybe they will realize before it is too late what their refusal to take responsibility for the call center's actions is doing to their customer base and come around. I truly hope so. I would just about give up every dream I have of working for myself as a ProAdvisor to work in an Intuit ran call center. And yes. I do know how ridiculous that sounds.

The truth will set you free, and is an absolute defense too.
Perception is reality, and public perception is what intuit does not seem to care about.
It is too true.
I wrote a poem about that a while back... About Perception being everything... Not about Intuit not caring about public reception.
Don't worry. I won't torture you guys with it. *smirks*
My point is I know you are correct Rustler. It doesn't mean that I have to like it. And it certainly doesn't mean I can't give you a hard time. I think I owe you a little jab or two, my friend.
Holy cow, I am in shock at the horrible experiences I have had. The tech people are friendly but have little knowledge. The sales people are arrogant liars. The disconnect between QB desktop and online is baffling.
As a Diamond (since inception in 2007) ProAdvisor (since 2001) I don't expect to call in and "talk" to a machine and then be put on hold for - right now 41+ minutes!
What has happened to OUR awesome support department in Tucson??
Oh! Yes it is horrible. I used to use them year ago and given up due to bad support.
About once a month support is needed. A 90 minute call or chat later problem will most likely not be solved. Support people are about 1/10 in my experience. I know they are overloaded and underpaid but they are literally the only ones to turn to. Accidentally, get one of the 9/10 that clearly could not care less or can't communicate effectively and oh well, another morning wasted trying to get this expensive app to work.
I have been online with a "helper" for 2 hours. He keeps wanting me to try this and that. I do and it still does not work. The old QuickBooks software was so much better. If my computer had not crashed, I would still be using the old one. It is ridiculous. There is no way they will let you talk with anyone on the phone. Totally disgusted.

A Fresh Start at Flower Mound Elementary
Aug, 17, 2018
Campus upgrades make school feel like new.
When students stepped through the doors of Flower Mound Elementary (FME) for the first time this school year, they were greeted with a few building changes thanks to summer upgrade projects.
Construction began right after the last day of the 2017-2018 school year and continued throughout the summer break. By the time students were returning to visit their classrooms and new teacher for the first time, the entire school's walls and bathrooms had been transformed.
"I really like the colors of the walls," fifth-grader Lily Higginbotham said. "They are Dallas Cowboys colors!"
The new shades of blue and gray give a fresh, new look to each and every hallway.
"It looks more modern," fifth-grader Olivia Kissinger said, "kind of like it was a whole different school than it was last year."
"The teachers were ecstatic," FME Principal Gayle Nurre added. "Their bulletin boards have taken on a new look. They pop more than they ever did before."
Beyond the walls and into the restrooms, upgrades to the water fountains, sinks, commodes and stalls were also something new for the students to see.
"I like the unique differences from this year and last year," fifth-grader Hank McGovern said.
"The new sinks help us not have to be crowded like the other ones," added classmate Freddy Bulmer. "They are more spread out, so more people can wash their hands at once."
Coming back from summer break always seems like a brand new experience, but it's even more unique when it feels like a different school than the one you left.
Other Lewisville ISD (LISD) campuses like Donald Elementary and Stewart's Creek Elementary received similar treatments this summer. These renovations are made possible through the 2017 Bond Package Referendum, which also includes safety and security upgrades, additional classrooms and a new career and technology center for the students of LISD. Learn more about future Bond projects by visiting the LISD Bonds website.
Flower Mound Elementary is a Flower Mound, Texas elementary school in the Lewisville Independent School District. Follow Flower Mound ES on Facebook and Twitter to see more student experiences throughout the school year or visit LISD.net for more information about our district.

The Chinese Finance Ministry made the expected announcement on Monday that it would respond to the most recent hike in U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. China will raise tariff rates on $60 billion in U.S. imports, including agricultural products. The Ministry will boost tariff rates in June on more than 5,000 U.S. products. Agricultural commodities that will cost more in China include citrus fruit, berries, vegetables, and nuts. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence both said over the last several days that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin work immediately on a new trade assistance package for U.S. farmers and ranchers in the event that China retaliated. Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue echoed that pledge on Friday in a Twitter post. While at the G-20 Ministerial Meeting in Japan, Perdue said China indicated they would retaliate against the U.S. tariff hike. "If and when they do, President Trump is committed to supporting our producers who may be harmed by the retaliatory efforts of China," Perdue said in Japan. An Agri-Pulse report says it wasn't even a month ago that optimism was running high that the trade war would soon be ending. However, that optimism quickly disappeared after U.S. Trade Rep Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin returned from talks in Beijing.

I used some of the gorgeous Deja Vu papers.
Supply list: Patterned papers: Blue Fern Studios Deja Vu; Cardstock: American Craft; Chipboard: Blue Fern Studio Deja Vu Atelier & Adorable Title; Pearls: Prima; Flowers: Prima, Petaloo; Lace and Bling: Prima; Ink: Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx, Ranger Distress Ink, Ranger Archival Ink; Mists: Prima Color Bloom (Iris, Sunshine, Cotton Candy); Other mediums: Gesso, PanPastel (Hansa Yellow); Stamp: Prima doily; Die: Prima Doily; Stencil: Prima.
The sketch:
Some close ups:
I first stamped the doilies in black on the background paper, then I stenciled gesso through a doily stencil and finally I cut a doily. The doily was way to light and I sprayed them with Color Bloom in Cotton Candy. I also lightly misted some Color Bloom Iris and Sunshine onto the background. The "timeless Beauty was cut from patterned paper. The "Adorable" title was covered in gesso and then coloured with Hansa Yellow PanPastels.
The Atelier chipboard piece was first coated with gesso and then inked with Donna Salazar Honey Inx. I than just inked the edges of the papers and the Atelier chipboard with Ranger Distress Ink in Walnut Stain.
All my flowers were too bright to go with the soft colour palette so I just dabbed some gesso onto them to soften the colours. The little resin roses were ear rings that I bought from Mr Price a few years ago. Scrapbooking embellishments can be found in the most amazing places.

Mistletoe Memories: Six New Inspirational Holiday Romances
This past week the Mistletoe Memories bundle released and I couldn't be more excited to share this group of stories with you. Myself and five other multi-published authors joined together to bring you six never before published novellas about love at Christmastime. The best part: right now you can snag this bundle for only 99 cents. I'm serious. You can't beat that deal.
And I'm even more excited to share this with you because my story in the collection – It Was You – launches my new King's Cove series. Expect to see two more King's Cove novellas releasing before the end of the year!
The Ranger's Texas Proposal
Last year my editor at Love Inspired called me, offering the chance to write a series with five other authors and I jumped at the opportunity. The Ranger's Texas Proposal is the second book in the Lone Star Cowboy League: Boy's Ranch series (but can be read as a stand alone). It's the story of a hunky Texas Ranger and a tough, pregnant widow. I loved writing these characters and really fell in love with them. This one's a tear-jerker with a warm ending. I can't wait for it to hit the store shelves!
Small-Town Girl
Small-Town Girl released in August and it's really special because it was my fifth book published by Love Inspired. It is the fourth book in the Goose Harbor series and follows newcomer, Kendall Mayes, as she tries to chart out a new future and avoid relationships along the way. That is, until she meets the handsome loner Brice Daniels. This book has already received a lot of great reviews and so many of you have contacted me privately letting me know how much this story meant to you. Small-Town Girl was also recommended on the USA Today Happy Ever After blog by the wonderful Serena Chase: "Highly recommended for fans of inspirational and sweet romance, this is a story that offers many sigh-worthy moments …"
Thanks for reading! -jess

Two things are typically mentioned when you ask someone about The Londoner Brew Pub in Bangkok.
First, people will claim with strong conviction that The Londoner's Sunday roast is the best in Thailand. And two, that Wednesday's 2-for-1 night is one of the city's best Bangkok parties.
We at KohSpot have to contend both of these superlative statements.
Nestled right on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 33, down a series of stairs leading towards the basement level of the UBC II building, The Londoner is a long-time veteran of the Bangkok pub and expat scene.
Wednesday's 2-for-1 night has a few good things going for it. Nicely marked down beer, a cover band belting out classic rock standards, girls and guys losing their inhibitions and shredding it up on the dance floor, a wide-range of friendly patrons and a healthy dose of blossoming romance occurring throughout the night.
But crowning The Londoner one of the city's best party spots on Wednesday? No way. It reminded us too much of a typical night out at a suburban brew-pub outside a city like Dallas or Manchester. There is nothing unique about this bar. Take out the desperately aging Thai women looking for a sponsor and you could be anywhere on the planet. You have much better options than The Londoner on a Wednesday night in Bangkok.
Moving on.
The Sunday carvery, with roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, smoked salmon, salads, cheeses, veggies and desserts all for 470 baht is admittedly pretty good for pub food. But again, the best Sunday buffet? Think again. The food is mass-produced to feed a lot of hungry expats. The Londoner's goal is to make its patrons insanely full opposed to delivering high quality, distinctively tasteful food. Its an ok experience to try once, but you can surely find better food on Sunday, the best of which being.
We applaud The Londoner's efforts in attempting to brew their own beer, but while both the Londoner Pilsner 33 and the cream bitter taste better than Thai beer, that doesn't take much and the cream bitter in particular has tasted flat on more than one occasion meaning there might be a problem with the tap. Better in-house brew can be found at Est. 33.
Before we end this article, we'd like to offer up a suggestion to the folks who run The Londoner – Why not add another 2-for-1 night to the weekly schedule? You're typically dead most other weekdays outside Wednesday. The bar would still be making money because your drinks are marked up pretty high already (cream bitter runs about 170 baht for a pint), and if people order food, your insane margins outside of drinks would still remain. Give it some thought…

While it is important to be educated in ballet, it is more important to understand that ballet/dance is a living and breathing art form constantly evolving. It is hard to be progressive in today's industry because genres are becoming more and more blended. That is the thing about ballet, the evolution and expansion is happening at a rate no one ever could have predicted. When ballet dancers would wait for new choreography, it was one thing. Now, ballet dancers are have become impatient with artistic staff (it is super costly to have a choreographer come in and set a new work, and super risky for a payoff) they are exploring their own forms of movement.
While dancers all across the world have been starting small groups/labs/experiments, none…

Imagine it's the middle of the night, and you wake up to intense pain. You're alone and in no condition to drive. What would you do?
Traditionally, you might pick up the phone and call for an ambulance to take you to the emergency room. Or, you'd phone a friend. However, there's a growing trend in recent years – people are hailing an Uber to take them to the ER.
In fact, that's exactly what Gene Caballero of Nashville, Tennessee did.
"I had a pinched nerve in my neck so bad that I opted to call an Uber to take me to the ER," he said. "It was in the middle of the night. I was not able to drive and the pain was too much to bear. I laid in the back seat until we got to the ER, and my Uber driver actually helped me get to the door."
In the age of the sharing economy, is this the new normal? We polled more than 2,100 people to find out.
Are People Choosing Rideshares over Ambulances?
Would you ever use an Uber/Lyft or taxi in the event of an emergency, instead of calling 9-1-1 for an ambulance? Why or why not? 🚑 🏥
— The Zebra (@TheZebraCo) June 7, 2017
Based on the results, it seems like the majority of people find the idea of hailing a rideshare to be unsafe.
Exactly my thought . Or what if they decided to go by a route that spells trouble.
— Brenda N (@halbren99) June 19, 2017
However, some rideshare drivers tell us otherwise.
Phil Reames of Kalamazoo, Michigan drives for Lyft and has driven riders to the emergency rooms several times.
"When I see the destination, I ask how serious it is and if I need to 'hurry.' It has never been any big deal. No blood in my car or anything. I have also picked people up at the emergency room and taken them home. I just had another one of those Saturday night."
Reames has been driving since August of 2016. He doesn't think it's a trend. In the last 10 months, he says this has happened maybe six to nine times. He also doesn't believe they chose him over an ambulance. If it weren't for him, they'd likely have called a friend or a taxi.
"None of the injuries were that bad. They may have been bleeding and needed a few stitches, but it isn't like they were about to lose a leg or anything."
One Lyft driver in Austin named Bryan told us he once picked up a woman in labor and drove her and her husband to the hospital. He said he did not hesitate because she needed help and he was happy to provide it, and that he'd probably do that for anyone — regardless of the emergency — if they were sick or even if they had blood on them. Bryan added that he might charge them for a cleaning fee of his car if he had to, but it would still probably be cheaper for the riders than the cost of taking an ambulance.
Considering how much an ambulance ride can be (with or without insurance), I'd rather get a bad lyft rating than be in medical debt.
— Ava Lynch (@avaklanche) June 7, 2017
At a glance, it might look like Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare company has the upper hand.
Response Time
The average emergency response time across the United States is 15 minutes and 19.2 seconds, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data from 1994 to 2013. The state with the fastest response time is Illinois at six minutes. In major cities where Uber is available, you can expect to wait fewer than five minutes for a ride.
It's true that the comparison is pretty unfair — we couldn't find data on non-life-threatening response times that could serve as an apples-to-apples comparison. However, when someone has a seemingly non-life-threatening illness or injury and needs a quick ride to the ER or Urgent Care (or even the maternity ward!), it seems like a rideshare might be the quickest way there.
Location Accuracy
In May 2016 John Oliver revealed that 911 call centers are so behind in technology that they aren't even close to matching Uber's level of location tracking. The nation's 911 system is in dire need of an upgrade. Emergency centers can't locate callers on cell phones, callers are transferred to the wrong emergency centers, emergency centers don't speak to one another…the list goes on.
(Disclaimer: There is adult language in this video clip. This is an HBO show after all.)
Transparent pricing in rideshares is quite the draw. You can get your ride estimate, pay at the end of the ride, choose to tip or not tip, and that's it. Even if you're trying to hail a ride when surge pricing is in effect, you still pay the full price of the ride when you've arrived at your destination. No surprise bill months later or finding out that your insurance company didn't cover the ambulance ride.
Ambulances, on the other hand, may or may not be covered by your insurance. One man in Long Island was charged $2,700 for a 2-mile ambulance ride to the hospital. Insurance covered most of it, but he was still left with a bill for $770.30.
Sad thing is that America has such awful healthcare that it would be so much smarter not to call an ambulance because of the absurd prices https://t.co/q6LkJezQ4H
— elysia (@ElysiaGarza) June 9, 2017
The Risks
In a minor emergency, sure, hailing a rideshare is just the same as asking a friend for a ride. However, when medical intervention may be involved, that's where this gets risky.
Ambulances were made to handle emergencies. There are trained medical professionals on board (typically two EMTs and/or paramedics, along with the driver) and they are equipped with a "low-level emergency room."
Plus, ambulances with sirens on and horns blaring always have the right-of-way, can exceed speed limits, and can drive through red lights to reach their destinations – which can give them the edge of speed needed in life-or-death situations. All states have some sort of move over law that requires drivers to reduce speed and "move over" to allow emergency response vehicles to bypass traffic.
Finally, what about germs? How often do rideshare drivers clean or disinfect their vehicles? What if someone with a communicable disease gets in the vehicle? The next person could be at risk.
I'll leave you with my personal story: In college, during mid-terms, I wasn't feeling well. I had the absolute worst headache I ever had in my life and could barely walk. I didn't have my own car, so I asked my friends to give me a ride to the university health center. From there, the nurse said I needed to go to the ER. I had viral meningitis (not the deadly bacterial one) and found out days later that I also had shingles. My friends disinfected the car and everything else I had touched around them. Luckily, they didn't get sick.
This was well before any rideshare company was around, but I would have most definitely used a rideshare service if it existed as to not inconvenience my friends. I could have potentially spread shingles or viral meningitis to the passengers after me. No bueno.
So, what do you think? Would you call an Uber or other rideshare service to go to the ER? Share your stories in the comments below.

Finding a great Philadelphia medical malpractice attorney or a medical malpractice lawyer is a task that can seem arduous on its best day. However
Air Max 97 SE Pull Tab Blanche Noir Pas Cher
, when you begin your search for a Philadelphia medical malpractice attorney, you will find that any Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyer worth his or her salt has a minimum set of traits that make him or her a lot more likely to provide excellent service and positive results to his or her clients. If youe suffered an injury due to medical malpractice, you need a quality Philadelphia medical malpractice attorney to argue your case. Without a good Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyer, you will have a much harder time winning your case.
First off, a great medical malpractice attorney is the kind of person who can be aggressive against opposing counsel. To do this successfully
Air Max 97 Premium Homme Bleu Pas Cher Pas Cher
, the attorney will need to possess confidence, solid knowledge of your particular case as well as medical malpractice law, and perseverance. However, while you want an attorney who can be aggressive in the courtroom, look for someone who is equally skilled at showing compassion to his or her clients. If you have suffered a severe injury
Air Max 97 Plus Homme Noir Pas Cher
, you want to work with someone who can talk to you comfortably about your case, someone who has empathy for what youe experienced, and someone who welcomes your questions.
Secondly, an excellent Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyer is one who has practiced in the area of medical malpractice for a long time. You dont want someone who is fresh out of law school handling your case. While they do call it practicing law, you dont really want your case to be a practice run. You want someone who has enough experience
Air Max 97 Plus Homme University Rouge Pas Cher
, both in negotiating settlements outside of the courtroom and in litigating a case through trial and appeal, if necessary.
A lawyer for Alex Rodriguez declined Major League Baseball's challenge to make public the drug evidence that led to the 211-game suspension of the New York Yankees star.
MLB executive vice president Rob Manfred wrote to lawyer Joseph Tacopina on Monday, urging him to waive his client's confidentiality under baseball's Joint Drug Agreement so the documents could be released. Tacopina had said he wanted to discuss evidence publicly but was constrained by the provision.
''We will agree to waive those provisions as they apply to both Rodriguez and the office of commissioner of baseball with respect to Rodriguez's entire history under the program, including, but not limited to
Air Max 97 OG GS Homme Army Vert Noir Pas Cher
, his testing history, test results, violations of the program, and all information and evidence relating to Rodriguez's treatment by Anthony Bosch, Anthony Galea and Victor Conte
Air Max 97 OG GS Homme Noir Pas Cher
,'' Manfred wrote in the letter, which was released by MLB.
Bosch was head of the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Galea pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada. Conte was head of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the target of a federal investigation that led to criminal charges against Barry Bonds, Marion Jones and others.
Manfred proposed that both sides disclose information and documents relating to:
-All drug tests that were conducted on Rodriguez under the program and their results;
- All prior violations of the program committed by Rodriguez, and;
- All documents relating to the issue of whether Rodriguez obstructed the office of the commissioner's investigation.
Air Max 97 Just Do It Noir Pas Cher
, a lawyer with one of the four firms representing Rodriguez, said the players' association would have to agree to waive confidentiality.
''The letter was nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt,'' Tacopina said in a statement. ''The letter that was addressed to my law office with the words 'Via Hand Delivery' on top was in fact never delivered to my office but was instead given to the 'Today' show, which in and of itself is yet another violation of the confidentiality clause of the JDA. They know full well that they have to address the letter to the MLBPA and such a waiver would require the MLBAPA to be party of the agreement and signatures. It's nothing but a theatrical trap hoping I would sign knowing that I couldn't and in fact would have me breaching the JDA agreement if I did.''
The union didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
A three-time AL MVP, Rodriguez is playing pending his appeal
Air Max 97 Just Do It Blanche Pas Cher
, which is not expected to be decided by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz until at least November.
In addition to his own lawyers, Rodriguez paid Florida-based attorney Susy Ribero-Ayala in February to represent Bosch.
''A retainer of $25,000 was paid (via wire transfer) by a representative of Alex Rodriguez. Ms. Ribero-Ayala accepted this payment on behalf of Anthony Bosch as payment for his legal representation,'' Ribero-Ayala spokeswoman Joyce Fitzpatrick said in a statement Monday. ''In April 2013, Ms. Ribero-Ayala received an unsolicited and unwarranted wire transfer of $50
Air Max 97 Triple Noir Pas Cher
,000 from A-Rod Corp. The funds were immediately returned. Mr. Rodriguez does not have any involvement in Mr. Bosch's legal representation.''
In June, Bosch agreed to cooperate with MLB's investigation.
The payments were first reported Sunday by ESPN. Rodriguez declined comment, citing the JDA's confidentiality provision.
''At some point, I think everybody will talk,'' he said early Monday. ''I think everybody has to have a little patience.''
Rodriguez is among 14 players disciplined by MLB this summer following its Biogenesis investigation. Former NL MVP Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension and 12 players agreed to 50-game penalties.
The 38-year-old Rodriguez made his big league season debut Aug. 5
Air Max 97 Homme Safety Orange Pas Cher
, the same day his suspension was announced. He had been sidelined since left hip surgery.

Repentance for the Easily Amused (2015)
With each gesture, motion, and action the dancers dig themselves deeper into a hole, giving away everything they know, until they find themselves on just this side of nothing left. Trapped within a choreographic structure in which each choice is a choice to never be returned to, the dance is a process of burning away artifice, training and style, until all that is left is intention and struggle at the overtly simple yet nearly impossible task of not repeating oneself in movement. With a live sound score composed and performed by Andy Russ, modified for every performance to prevent the dancers from having any recognizable temporal frameworks, the 60-minute trio, Repentance for the Easily Amused is a temporal black hole for dancers stuck in an interminable present moment without confines. Directed by Jordan Fuchs with sound design by composer Andy Russ, created and performed in collaboration with Elyse Cox and Juan Pablo Montes.

New Stories at an Old HotelPublished on Friday, September 28, 2012
Since January, a team of top historians have been working hard on Dallas Heritage Village's latest exhibit. Have I mentioned that these historians are still in middle school and high school? Over the past several years, the Junior Historians have completed several projects that have developed their historical muscles, which made them all the more ready for the challenges of the Worth Hotel project. Unlike our other projects, they had a wealth of primary sources to work with–census records, newspaper articles, and oral histories. Some of those primary sources didn't exactly match up perfectly, so there was much discussion as we tried to get closer to the truth. Emily explained that process excellently a few weeks ago on her guest post for our blog. And that ne ..

On one side of the fence you have the easy-going, modern lifestyle, the people go to work, they have plenty of time and energy left over to socialize with their many friends, they are young and already homeowners (their parents bankrolled the mortgage on the home they acquired, cut-priced, after a soldier died), they don't waste time working the garden or washing their cars, but still things grow and life is peachy. They get all the breaks. The present and future is theirs.
On the other side of the fence, rotted and wind-battered, you have the flip-side dead-end of the American dream – life sucks and then the people die. They believe in God and try to do the right thing, they want to make the world a better place but, sensitive, they get chewed up and spat out. They do all chores they can. They work from dawn to dusk and into the night, and still it's never enough. They are beset by endless complications and catches. They are running to stand still. They live on energy drinks and alcohol. They have no hope in tomorrow, that things will be better. They get all the heartbreaks. Their present and future, there's a brick wall looming, sooner or later, a calamitous collision and the end is nigh, tonight, tomorrow, who knows?

Time to crawl out of that tryptophan-induced stupor and get with the holiday shopping, Geek Speakers. Say there's a special comic book geek in your life and you want to give him/her something more memorable than another batch of bags and boards. Or maybe you're that very fanboy/fangirl who needs to drop a hint to your significant other. Have I got the geek gift guide for you. Hit the jump for five fantabulous works of sequential art sure to warm any comic lover's heart this holiday season.
Vintage Marvel Comics 2010 Calendar ($18.95)
This stellar Marvel Comics calendar by Asgard Press does right by our home planet and by the House of Ideas that Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko built. You get 17 classic Marvel covers (16 months plus another comic cover on the back of the calendar cover) reprinted on 11×14-inch archival-quality recycled paper with soy-based inks. And because they're true works of art, they're perforated for easy framing. Trust me, you'll want to frame such Marvel-ous covers as "Amazing Spider-Man" #33, "Journey into Mystery" #89 and more. Asgard also has a DC calendar that should be just as awesome.
Fables: The Deluxe Edition Book One ($29.99)
Writer Bill Willingham's Eisner-winning "Fables" gets the hardcover treatment for the first time and it couldn't be more appropriate or well-deserved. "Fables" follows the adventures of your favorite fairy tale characters like Snow White and Pinocchio in the magical but gritty Fabletown, a community hidden in plain sight in modern-day Manhattan. Yes, it's that sophisticated. Yes, it's that mesmerizing. Yes, it's that must-have. The "Fables" hardcover collects the series' first 10 issues.
The perfect comic-book parody for English majors, R. Sikoryak's "Masterpiece Comics" mashes classic literary works with classic comics with clever, hilarious, even profane results. Marvel at Dagwood and Blonde banished from the Garden of Eden by an all-mighty Mr. Dithers in "Blonde Eve." See Albert Camus' existential "The Stranger" reimagined as a chain-smoking Superman in "Action Camus." Plus Beavis and Butt-Head do "Waiting for Godot." Genius, genius, genius.
The closest you'll ever get to Batman's inner sanctum, "The Batman Vault" opens up a treasure trove of what makes the Dark Knight tick. In addition to enlightening and well-illustrated Batman intel, you get a Batcave's worth of goodies like Bob Kane sketches, your own paper Batplane and other geeky good ephemera. Alas, no giant penny.
The Best of Simon and Kirby ($39.95)
Two comic book titans get their due in this dynamic giant hardcover authorized by Joe Simon and the estate of Jack Kirby. Simon oversaw the book himself and offers some candid insight into his many collaborations with Kirby, along with larger-than-life reprints of some of their seminal works across genres from superheroes and science fiction to westerns and romance. And of course it also includes Captain America.

Vicky Ford, MEP (ECR, UK) and Chair of the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) Committee, delivered the keynote address, in which she underlined how efficient and streamlined customs are vital to strengthening the economy.

A day before Facebook revealed that it had actually found and disabled a propaganda campaign designed to sow dissension amongst United States voters, it exclusively shared some of the suspicious pages with an online forensics group so hectic it hasn't put a nameplate on the door.
The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab is based in a 12-foot-by-12-foot workplace in the Washington, DC, headquarters of the almost 60-year-old Council, a think tank devoted to studying severe and at times obscure global concerns.
Facebook is using the group to boost its examinations of foreign disturbance. Recently, the company stated it removed 32 suspicious pages and accounts that supposed to be run by leftists and minority activists. While some United States officials said they were most likely the work of Russian agents, Facebook stated it did not know for sure.
It fell to the laboratory to explain similarities to fake Russian pages from 2016 during Facebook's press conference recently.
Facebook began looking for outdoors assistance amid criticism for failing to check Russian propaganda ahead of the 2016 presidential elections. The US Justice Department won indictments against 13 Russians and 3 business for utilizing social networks in that election to influence voters. United States President Donald Trump's national security team warned recently of consistent attempts by Russia to utilize social networks against the 2018 congressional elections too.
Outside assistance
With ratings of its own cybersecurity professionals and $40 billion (roughly Rs. 2.7 lakh crores) in annual earnings in 2017, Facebook may not seem in need of outside assistance.
However the lab and Atlantic Council bring geopolitical proficiency and allow Facebook to distance itself from sensitive declarations. On last week's call with reporters, Alex Stamos, Facebook's chief security officer, stated the company should not be anticipated to identify or blame particular federal governments for all the projects it finds.
" Companies like ours don't have the necessary information to evaluate the relationship between political motivations that we infer about an adversary and the political objectives of a nation-state," stated Stamos, who is leaving the company this month for a post at Stanford University. Instead, he said Facebook would stick to accumulating digital evidence and turning it over to authorities and researchers.
It would likewise be awkward for Facebook to implicate a government of misbehavior when the company is attempting to get in or expand in a market under that federal government's control.
Facebook contributed an undisclosed amount to the lab in May that was enough, said Graham Brookie, who runs the laboratory, to rise the business to the top of the Atlantic Council's donor list, alongside the British federal government.
Facebook staff members stated privately over the past numerous months that Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg wants to outsource a lot of the most delicate political choices, leaving fact-checking to media groups and geopolitics to think tanks. The more he succeeds, the fewer problems for Facebook's growth, the smaller sized its payroll, and the more possible its positioning as a neutral platform. Facebook did not react to an ask for remark.
Exposing disinformation
The laboratory wased established by Brookie, a National Security Council consultant in the last four years of the Obama administration. Ben Nimmo is a co-founder. He joined after stints as a journalist covering the Baltic states as they sparred with Russia a years back and as a spokesman for NATO on Russia and Ukraine.
On a current check out to the head office, the often-travelling Washington personnel of 4 were packed around 3 desks pushed to the centre of the room.
Aloud and on Slack, the workplace chatroom app, they went over pending short articles they were releasing on the news and opinion website Medium about disinformation operations in Brazil, the United States and Pakistan.
Utilizing its own software application and other tools, the group sorts through social media posts for patterns. Then it includes geopolitical context to inform stories on Medium about misinformation projects early, prior to they play out.
The mix of seriousness and analysis has actually pushed the young lab to the cutting edge of analyzing state-sponsored and domestically generated misinformation. Even before the Atlantic Council developed it 2016, the team drew attention in Washington policy circles and beyond for utilizing crowdsourcing and innovation to challenge the claims of nation-states. It initially got attention using geo-tagged selfies to show Russian soldiers remained in Ukraine, which added to evidence there was no populist uprising there.
During the recent Mexican presidential election, the laboratory dealt with a media consortium, Verificado, that consisted of Al Jazeera and Mexico's Animal Politico, to expose wild rumours about candidates' illegal foreign support, Nazi loved ones and plans to ban junk food. By itself, the laboratory likewise rooted out a paid impact campaigner counting on automated accounts.
" If you wait for something to take place, it's going to be too late," Nimmo said. "You need to put validated information into the environment initially."

T….F…. Accountant - FCCA from Ireland
"I used cpdwise for all of my verifiable ACCA CPD hours last year. Not only was it very easy to access and use but the variety of courses is extensive. I was able to dip in and out of all the courses at times that suited me which didn't impact on my job. I found the keeping of records and certification of completed courses very useful for completing my CPD Return to the ACCA."

K….B…. Accountant - ACCA Member from London, GB.
"I found the web site very easy to use and the courses were much better than I expected, that's not because I thought you'd be poor, just that I kind of feel the whole CPD programme is a bit of a racket so was expecting a few oppourtunity takers to make a few slide presentations which I would click through and get my certificate. Anyway you disproved my theory, because I thought your course content and materials were all very good indeed."

I simply paid, logged on, had a sandwich at my desk whilst listening, answered the questions with certificate to follow. It was perfect to cover the regulatory compliance aspect of CPD"
Solictor Ireland
"I thought the course was very good. Yes I would use the online course again on different subjects."

At Byzantium, we don't just take our Tapas inspiration from Spain (although we do have some wonderful Spanish dishes on offer), but we create dishes inspired from across the Mediterranean and deliver a unique dining experience. We take the already varied Tapas concept and give you the opportunity to experience not only a selection of food, but also a selection of cuisines.
Our mission is to create food that gets you talking.
Tapas Guide
Tapas is the perfect food for eating with friends, family and loved ones - it's about sharing, talking and trying new things.
There's always so much to choose from on a Tapas menu - that's the point. So to kick things off get something to nibble and something to drink - a flatbread and a bowl of beautiful olives is a great place to start!
When it comes to choosing your dishes, you've got to step out of the 'starter followed by main' mentality. Tapas gives you the opportunity to have what you want, when you want - so pick a few dishes to get you started, and if you're still hungry - why not have another.
When you're eating a selection of things, choosing your wine is much more relaxed affair - it's not about the perfect red with the perfect steak - this is about the food you want to eat and the drink you enjoy most.
If you're full by this point then you've had a great tapas experience - but there's always room for dessert...

Hermès, one of the last holdouts against the era of fashion conglomerates, has a new "long term shareholder" with Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) revealing it now holds a 14.2 percent stake in Hermès International. LVMH states that it has no plans to take control of the luxury brand, launch a tender offer or seek board representation: "The objective of LVMH is to be a long-term shareholder of Hermès and to contribute to the preservation of the family and French attributes which are at the heart of the global success of this iconic brand."
Hermès International had originally gone public in 1993 – however, the founding family is still at the helm, maintaining control over approximately three-quarters of the company's shares and thereby ensuring creative and business autonomy. This has been seen as one of the key elements behind the fashion brand's unrivalled position at the pinnacle of the luxury pyramid.
Not only is it famed for the iconic Birkins, Kellys and silk scarves but is also one of the rare handful of international houses that has an in-house perfumer and does not outsource its fragrance conceptualisation and creation to the couple of generic firms that run the show nowadays.
Will this change in the future? Is it the fall of another giant at the altar of corporatisation and balance sheets? The breaching of the last bastion? Time will tell but I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed in favour of things remaining unchanged. Watch this space for more updates.

I ordered an subscription with a discount code and it was cancelled. I will not be buying there products.
I recently purchased "Simply Earth" EO box with Free Infuser (thank you MSA for coupon code). I did notice zero reviews. But, site stated 100% guarantee. So I took the plunge as a fanatic EO user. I have used EO for years and am always willing to try a new recipe (or at least different scent combo) I received my order, and was able to track it. They sent email with tracking info. Although the diffuser and oil are great, not being able to navigate the Site is a little frustrating for me. The site offers subscriptions of (A) every month $39.99. (B) every 3 months $45.00 and (C) a 1 time purchase for$49.99, but nowhere explains the difference of what you get in monthly vs. quarterly box. I also saw questions from people asking if they can sell EO when they don't know much about it. Which I wasn't sure if the site is for wholesale, retail?? I can always use EO for my lotion, cleaning products, etc. And make gifts for loved ones. So I ordered, nothing to lose. I was sent a survey. Complete it and save 10% on next order, include a picture, 15% savings. And instructions say to email them and the savings can be used on next sub box. Easy enough, and I got confirmation email. My next sub box is now shipping. I still have no answer to my questions. But, I have called (left voicemail,) and dm with no response from either. I recommend emailing them. I did get fast response to request discount being applied to monthly subscription box. So in the meantime, I will continue to use and enjoy the 1st box I received. It was the "spring cleaning" box. Great packaging! Love the receipt cards, spray bottles,. And the oils smell fantastic and great quality. The bottles are great size as well. Well worth the money for me. And the Infuser is beautiful

text: Former minister is accused of murdering harmless migrants The public prosecutor's office said it had asked parliament to lift the immunity of former Interior Minister Ljube Boskovski so he could be charged. A parliamentary committee was debating the request. "It was a monstrous fabrication to get the attention of the international community. Only a sick mind can construct and give the order for such a gross liquidation of seven people whose destiny ended like in a horror movie," said Interior Ministry spokeswoman Mirjana Kontevska on Friday. Boskovski has denied the allegations. According to police sources, the prosecution said a police chief was told to find migrants who could fit the description of "Islamist terrorists". Economic migrants They said the group, in fact economic migrants passing through Macedonia, was pin-pointed, kidnapped and killed in what security forces claimed was a coup against global terrorism. "Nobody has the right on the basis of his own craziness to take someone's life in the name of the state," Kontevska said, in an apparent reference to Boskovski, who earned a reputation in office as an extreme nationalist. She said the seven dead men, pictured in police photographs at the time with guns in their belts, were economic migrants passing through Macedonia on their way westwards. Police sources said two of those in custody were generals in the police force and a further two men had been charged. SOURCE: Reuters
