QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 01:14 PM) I had to get Discover involved back when I finally got rid of AOL. I'm not sure how many times I called them and canceled yet they continued to charge my card for 3 months afterward. AOL was notoriously difficult to get rid of. I remember hearing some real horror stories about people trying to cancel. recurring billers are all tough to deal with. Magazines, internet service providers, etc. Some people throw their hands up and just change the card number altogether

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 01:09 PM) I've never resorted to calling a credit card provider to resolve a dispute. I prefer to tell the offending party that between Facebook, Twitter, and whatever local/national message boards might apply to their particular business, I can pretty much promise that you will miss out on at least twice as much business as the value of our dispute. LMAO and that really works for you? Maybe for some small businesses here and there, but merchants like Walmart would laugh in your face. Small claims court is a tough route to go, most of the time you end up wasting your own time and money and never get a resolve anyways

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 12:31 PM) Ahhh....wisdom. More like "line of work" People tell us to "not pay that merchant" and stop payment all the time. It simply doesn't work like that

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 11:50 AM) Im curious to see if anyone has ever put a charge into dispute or a stop payment on a credit card charge? How did it end up? My wife and I just did this for the first time with a difficult situation with a photographer. If the charge is MC or Visa, there is no hold. If the charge is already run/swiped/approved, you are filing a dispute over services rendered. If the Photographer has not provided services within the agreed upon time, and refuses to address your concerns then you can file a dispute over the charge and the bank will go after them for you for credit. The question really is, did the photographer do a bad job, or just hasnt come through with the pictures at all? Sometimes a dispute can be tricky based on perception of services rendered(ie. these pictures suck im not paying for them vs I never got what I paid for/double billed for services) Amex has a completely different relationship with merchants which is why fraud and disputes is handled differently, and it is also why Amex is not accepted universally. Basically the onus is on the merchant, and they dont like that.

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_...blink-back-wall I was reading the most recent "Vinny Del Negro might lose his job" article on ESPN, and I found this quote amusing: According to a source familiar with Clippers thinking. LMAO, ESPN just loves their sources

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) Hey, it was the last animated movie to ever be nominated for Best Picture! Just enjoy the implied idea that Cowley thinks of himself as "Beauty/Truth/Integrity" in this situation, fighting a one man war like Don Quixote against the relentless repression of JR and KW and Don Cooper. Yes, now we're to literature references as well. I wouldnt say "we".....

did i read that right or did Beauty and the Beast just get referenced?

I just found out my basset hound was afraid of storms last night, which is wonderful Some people actually have to tranquilize their dogs to get them through storms because they freak out so much. There are some over the counter relaxers you can get from the pet store as well, but it is just herbal stuff. Talk to your vet about it, maybe they can offer you a sedative for when your dog gets out of hand

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) 1.) Yeah, I would think Kentucky has a shot at winning No. 2 in a row and 9 in school history. I'd think if Kentucky had gotten Shabazz, Anderson and Tony Parker, Kentucky would be a lock to repeat and have as good a record next year as it had this year. Can UCLA do anything with its stellar recruiting class or is Howland a joke? 2.) Tell me about Daniels. Is he a hi major guy? I know Barry Hinson personally. He is one of the finest men I've ever met. In an era of high-ego bastards who do s*** like the football coach at Arkansas ... Barry Hinson DOES NOT DRINK, smoke or have any vices. He is a Christian who does not shove it down your throat like a Tebow. He lives it. GOOD LUCK BARRY HINSON. Dantiel was a gem that Lowery found while recruiting another player. He is a big kid, listed at 6'6" i believe, and very strong. I think he will definitely catch on to a high major team, he is a rebounding fool and has a decent game around the rim. He needs work on his FTs, but par for the course for college big men. I think Hinson will do well in SIU, i really do. I am interested to see what his first class looks like, he is scrambling to get a few scholarships filled right now due to a JUCO backing out of his LOI and Daniels asking for his release. There is one other possible kid leaving, so it may be three

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) Building some minutes while trying to make sure he doesn't get hurt. I dont know if the two are a direct correlation at all times, it didnt really seem to make a difference a month and a half ago when he returned and immediately injured his shoulder running into a defender. Sometimes s*** happens, no matter how much you micromanage it Rip has to start playing. And he has to start playing more with Rose, and he has to start playing meaningful minutes.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/friv/ Try it! I bet you can easily waste 15-20 minutes on it. I expected to be able to rate ELO videos like "Fire on High" or "Don't drag me down". Very disappointed.

I don't understand what they are doing with Rip at this point. He was on fire in the 3rd quarter again and didn't come back in basically for the rest of the game.

I want to see rust falling off Rose in chunks tonite. This little stretch against bad teams should be where Rose can get back in rhythm

Wtf. How did I miss that. I must have been letting the dogs out or something. Sorry Caulfield

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 04:30 PM) Questionable decisions by Ventura to let Sale go out again for the 6th and to take out Stewart after a 1-2-3 7th, as well as leaving in Ohman to face right-handed batters. Sale came out after the 5th, Jones came in the game in the 6th.

QUOTE (Jake @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) Is Stewart getting loose? He is now

QUOTE (black jack @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) Are they wearing the red jerseys to go along with Jackie's number? I believe so. The official white sox twitter account yesterday posted a picture of lillibridge showing off his red shoes that he was to wear today.

David Terrell arrested for domestic battery, apparently roughed up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off the balcony of his apartment

Ha, those end of article comments are awesome, its like reading a Soxtalk gamethread last season(with the exception of wanting Pierre as a defensive replacement) I had no idea LoMo was a bad defensive player. I thought he was supposed to be the total package

He is the renaissance man, there is no doubt about it. The shoulder shrug is gone, every at-bat is a battle. I love watching him hit now, he really uses the entire field now

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 11:03 AM) Ugh. Not good start to Hinson era I feel bad for him. Tough situation to walk into, Lowery already chased these kids away, Hinson is in immediate damage control

I'm not ready to bury Beckham and designate him a utility man 6 games after the Ozzie era. I think Beckham is still being reprogrammed, I'm willing to give him at least until the all star break before I start shoveling dirt over his career.

SIU loses promising freshman Dantiel Daniels. He will be a good get for someone.

It is such a different series against the Tigers when you don't have that threat of Verlander in one of the games. When he is pitching you almost think it is the best of two, with the game against him a foregone conclusion that it is a loss.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) I saw he was in the hospital earlier today. Any idea what is wrong? espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/post/_/id/9276/source-ex-sox-pitcher-hickey-in-coma Weird story. He is an insulin dependent diabetic and he was found unresponsive in his hotel room, but his vital signs are fine.
