If this is _why then there's no need for that and we should, in fact, be supportive of someone who gave to much to the community and buy the book.

* Be secure with your credentials to sites * Reliably figure out that you are dead * Trust that your next of kin will figure out the key you've set up
It's certainly a useful concept and much better than hoping your loved one placed the credentials somewhere you could access them.
- In your profile. These are times that you can never work and they are recurring. You can set yourself to be unavailabile every Monday from 2-4pm, for example.
- In the Requests Off section. This section is for one time requests off, as in your exam example.
- How did you market it?
- You said you talked to local businesses and chains. What did you do to get to them? What was most effective?
- Are there any marketing avenues you think should be avoided?
- Are there any features which you found to be not worth it? I'm keeping it simple for now but would appreciate knowing where not to take it.
- What finally made you decide to abandon it? What did you do with your customers?
Do not go through United trying to get them to pay this. Prepare for a day spent on the phone with the hospital until you find the person in the billing or services department who can really get to the bottom of it. They will figure out for you which technicality the insurance company is trying to use and what the correct one is. I had something similar happen and, after a day on the phone, was able to get the incorrect code that was used, how much they were supposed to pay, and what to say to them (this needs to be reprocessed according to X agreement).
From there you need to write a letter to United saying you want the case appealed. Send it certified mail and be prepared for the first response acknowledging your letter and the second one, about 30 days later, with the result of your appeal.
PS: I would have emailed this to you but couldn't find any contact information in your profile.
I tried to get the merchant account set up while building the site. When I tried my bank (BOA), they wanted a fully functional site before they'd think about looking at an application. That wasn't going to work since the site wasn't done yet.
I went with TrustCommerce for my gateway and the rep there referred me to someone for the merchant account. He had me do an application and submit it. After a week or two he said they needed "marketing materials" like a brochure and flyers. I made some marketing materials and let him know the podcasts were the primary marketing materials. Application denied due to marketing materials.
Next he said he could try a different processor. I go through the whole application process again. It takes many weeks during which I keep getting emails back needing some other piece of documentation. During this time I had contacted Braintree who said they could approve me with X,Y, and Z, and it would take about 7-10 business days to get me all set up. They were very explicit about what exactly I needed. The only downside was that it was going to be a relatively high minimum every month.
I told the first guy to cancel the application and then it was approved if I still wanted it. Plus all setup fees would be waived. I went with them because fees were lower as were monthly fees.
However, I wish I had gone with Braintree. Their service was top notch and I wasn't even a customer. If I knew I was going to be processing at least their minimum I would have gone with them. With that said, my current setup works and I've been very happy with TrustCommerce.
