The legality is that we need to advertising the business name within 30 days in a general circulation newspaper distributed in San Mateo County; the advertisement must be published once a week for four successive weeks. I thought I should take action immediately by calling for pricing. I spoke to Gail who was very helpful in giving me information. This is rare for someone who answers a main phone number line which is why I'm giving 5 stars. Here is the info: * It costs $40 for 4 weeks if I'm a single filer with a single business name; if there are more filers and more business names then it is $8 extra for each. * I should receive 3 forms in the mail from San Mateo county. 1 for the newspaper for filing the fictitious business name, 1 for the bank in starting an account and I believe 1 for my records. Once I receive the form for the newspaper, I send or fax it in to the newspaper, they will take the info from the form, create and publish a fictitious business name statement.

I LOVE this paper…read more I've always preferred it to its competitor, SM Daily News, because the Daily Journal has a much better format, style, and color photos! It's just designed well. One of my favorite aspects of the paper is the "Know it All" section on the first page inside--it's awesome trivia facts and I always learn cool stuff. It reminds me of the Chronicle's "Grab Bag" except the Daily Journal has a theme with the section. I look forward to it each time I read the paper! The DJ website is good, too. I've advertised in the classifieds with this paper, and not only did they suggest a better way to format my ad (it looked so much better with their suggestion) but I did get new business, thanks to them. The paper is a frequent supporter and contributer to local events and organizations, which is wonderful. They are a paper for the Peninsula, and they support their community. Gale in the office is awesome..she has the cutest Rhode Island accent.

Karen: We live in an area where TFC (The Filipino Channel)…read moreis not available. So, this is actually the best deal for me. ABS-CBNnow! is a video and audio streaming subscription service on the Internet that provides access to the best news and entertainment shows from ABS-CBN, the Philippines' largest media network. This is like your TFC TIVO online. They archive all the episodes so you can watch any show anytime at your own convenience! Check out their website for more information. I have the Premium Plus subscription which is $19.95 every three months. I think this is about how much you will spend for just one month on a cable subscription. I like now! service better because it's on-demand. It is so convenient. I can watch a whole week's worth of episodes from my favorite TV series in just one day. No ads, too. I give it a 4 out of 5 because you can only watch all the shows from one computer (where you download the license to). Also, you need a DSL or broadband internet connection to completely enjoy the shows. Their customer service is outstanding. I get an instant reply everytime I contact Customer Support. Highly recommended. I will stick to it even if TFC becomes available in our area. Or at least until its still cheaper.

Maybe they have a good service. I don't know, but they have poor business practices.

The advertising and disruption to its programs is annoying. If you compare them with the two stations, you'll see how TFC bleed its customers and treat us like diehard slaves. It needs to be regulated cause their advertising is too much while they also charge about $15 plus dollars for accessing this channel. Direct TV makes it worse by packaging it with GMA instead of allowing us to choose only what we want. Ridiculous! It's a SHAME that DirectTV is configured to partake in a cartel-like system where customers have NO CHOICE in freely selecting the channels that benefits them, looks like communism, to most of us!
