After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (very politely - this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United States of America ." The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA ." YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the USA . It only takes less than one minute to have your call re-directed to the USA . Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from Fort -Lauderdale.

In case you haven’t heard, a 47-year-old unemployed virgin named Susan Boyle has become what may be the biggest human interest story of 2009.
On April 11, on the “American Idol”-like show, “Britain’s Got Talent,” a frumpy woman walked onto the stage and conquered the greatest moment of her life by wowing the show’s judges, audience members and viewers. And now, thanks to technology, she is taking hold of hearts and minds the world over via video footage of her performance. (View the video below.)
On its base level, we’re fascinated by this story because it’s heroine has an appearance as bewildering as her personality, yet a voice that seems able to call angels. There’s more to why we love this story, though, and why Susan Boyle will not escape the presence of our hearts anytime soon.

He is one of the thousands of unemployed workers, Ecuadorian emigrant Mauricio Coyago can not longer pay his mortgage, therefore it occurred to him to organize a raffle.
His idea is making him famous. Ecuadorian Mauricio Coyago 41 is now a familiar face through many Spanish media sources. He is an immigrant that represents the hundreds of stories result of the crisis in Spain’s economic trouble.
He worked until last July in construction, but the backlash of the strike also hit him and left him without his monthly income which reached 1,300 Euros, - His wife, also an Ecuadorian from Quito is currently unemployed and caring for their three children, ages 9, 6 and 5, the middle child, their daughter, has a disability.
Mortgage debt of their apartment which they bought four years ago for an undisclosed amount, has prevented them from paying their dues, and money he charges for the strike is not enough. "It is less than 1,000 Euros. Some people ask me how five people can live with that? – Well, with the thigh economy, by buying only what the body needs,” Coyago said.
But he ads, he is not the kind of person that "gets defeated easily" I always tell my kids: “you have to be like eagles, -learn to fly high and don’t let anybody take your dreams away from you."
Now, when the crisis tightens, he applies to himself the same principle: to dream.
To save his place he has devised a lottery, calling people's attention with this message: "I sell my apartment for one Euro."

Eily Toyama gave in after friends pestered her to join Facebook.
But she used her cat's name instead of her own so she could avoid networking requests from people she didn't really want to connect to. And don't even ask her about Twitter unless you want to get an eye roll.
"I just don't think people need to know that much about my life," says the 32-year-old Chicagoan, who works in information technology.
Call it online sociability fatigue. And it's not just being felt by older folks who have lived most of their lives without the web. As social networking grows, from stream-of-consciousness Twitter to buttoned-up LinkedIn, even some of the very young people who've helped drive these sites' growth could use a break.
Mike Nourie, a student at Emerson College in Boston, says he feels a little relieved to escape social networking when he works summers at an inn on Cape Cod where connection to the wired world is spotty.
"It gives me a chance to relax and focus on other things like music, work and friends," says the guitar-playing 20-year-old.

Make sure you read to the end. You will be amazed.
Let's hear it for Costco! (This is just mind-boggling!)
Make sure you read all the way past the list of the drugs. The woman that signed below is a Budget Analyst out of federal Washington , DC offices.
Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA. As we have revealed in past issues of Life Extension a significant percentage of drugs sold in the United States contain active ingredients made in other countries. In our independent investigation of how much profit drug companies really make, we obtained the actual price of active ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in America.
