I've had a Chase checking account for nearly four years and I've had ongoing problems with viewing my monthly transactions online. Three times a previously functioning username and password suddenly stopped functioning, which in every instance Chase attributed to my computer server, when clearly the problem was on their side and took me hours to adjust. Now it has happened a fourth time, after having used my current username and password for a year and a half, and again Chase is blaming the problem
Which is still not repaired on my computer. I have nearly $300,000 in my checking account, which of course draws no interest, and I would quickly abandon Chase were it not for the fact that they are responsible for several automatic payments, such as my car, health club, and so on. I am not sure which big bank I would suggest, but I do know that Chase is highly inefficient technically and in their customer service, and I lan to collect my money and abandon them as soon as I can.

ESPN is big business and naturally has a large number of sports analysts. Some of the best in my view
Are Kendrick Perkins on the NBA and Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark, and Domonique Foxworth on the NFL.
The best-known commentator on all ESPN sports is Stephen-A Smith, and he presents a big problem. Though he often has other sports analysts on his show who know more than he, he never gives anyone a chance to talk. It is all a Stephen-A ego-monologue, and it shortchanges the viewer who wants to hear ex-players and other points of view. Tony Kornheiser, who co-hosts Pardon the Interruption with the benignly knowlegeable Mike Wilbon, is just plain awful. He is dull and difficult to look at with his mannerism of putting on then removing his spectacles throughout the show. Nevertheless, it is clear that Kornheiser thinks highly of himself for no good reason.

The Intercept thinks highly of itself and makes claims of not receiving corporate funding, though it was abundantly clear that a French billionaire, Pierre Omidyar, was funding the site for some time which permitted the editors to live in high style. But Joan Raymond, my friend, who has both donated and subscribed to The Intercept is finding it very difficult to unsubscribe. Come on, Intercept! Practice what you preach and pay attention to the little person!

I've written about this before and have written to Criterion about it, with only a know-nothing response.
Since writing about it previously I've gathered more evidence.
Several examples include Fassbinder's Despair, 1978, based on the Nabokov novel,
And Lars von Trier's Antichrist, 2008.
If Criterion is censoring sexual scenes they have the responsibility of notifying viewers and potential viewers.
Had I been notified I wouldn't have purchased an annual subscription.

Unduly complicated procedure to book tickets, which we finally booked on a Thurs eve, July 15, having paid $120.00 plus tax for an hour of chamber music.
With a week to go, we were informed that the concert has been postponed to Friday, July 16, which is not viable for us. What annoyed us especially is that there is no stated option for cash return. That is what we want: our $120.00 back;. Fever is unprofessional in the extreme and prospective concert goers deserve to be b e apprised of that.

Many years ago when the Guardian was the Manchester Guardian it was a progressive newspaper with integrity. These days the online Guardian has gone full bore with the current version of "political correctness." #MeToo; the penis is a lethal instrument; males--especially hetero males--are simply not to be trusted; the female body is surrounded by razor wire, and that is exactly as it should be. Every day the reader has to wade through 8 or 10 "articles," many of them both enraged and banal, which amounts to a reign of terror. Does the Guardian actually believe in this, or is it all to boost sales? It is hard to say, even as the Guardian is increasingly hard to stomach.
