Tips on Getting Your Money Back
Complaint websites help consumers win arguments with companies.
For a recent article on the art of complaining, I looked into the best ways to lodge complaints against companies. The most important lesson was actually lodging them in the first place—many customers don't, and that's why they end up being overcharged or unsatisfied.
I asked the managers of two popular company complaint websites, Greg Brummer at Planet Feedback and Max Spankie at My3Cents, who receive thousands of complaints from readers, about common mistakes and their advice for getting the results you want. Here's what they had to say:
Don't exaggerate the problem. Brummer says companies don't respond well to threats or embellished stories about the harm they have caused. One consumer, for example, said his son's Christmas was ruined after a company canceled his order.
Always contact the company first. Brummer says consumers have a good chance of resolving their problems with just a quick call to the company—so before involving others, such as his website, make the call.
Check over your bills. Many people don't notice that they are being charged for a monthly service until they've been paying it for months, and companies often resist refunding months' worth of services, Brummer says. He recommends taking responsibility for the accuracy of your billing statements.
Review receipts before you leave the store. Spankie adds that mistakes caught at the point of sale are much easier to resolve on the spot than after you leave the store. One consumer contacted him after a typo by a sales associate at Home Depot led him to pay for 1,058 pieces of molding instead of 1.58. He signed for the transaction before noticing the mistake.
Count your money—it's not rude. Spankie says there's no need to be self-conscious about making sure you were given the correct amount of money, whether it's at a bank or a store. It's better to check than to go home and realize there was an error.

Consumers and local media attended a special preview for the all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon on Wednesday eveing, December 12 at Suburban Toyota.
"The new Avalon was designed and engineered practically in our backyard," said David Fischer, Jr., General Manager of The Suburban Collection automotive group, noting that this work was done by Toyota engineers and designed in Ann Arbor.

The event was covered by The Detroit News. http://apps.detroitnews.com/apps/multimedia/gallery.php?id=15267 A technical presentation was given by Marvin Allen, product training specialist for Toyota Motor Sales, USA.
For 2013, Toyota has dramatically altered the chemistry of Avalon's
formula, creating a new potent and persuasive sedan that helps shift the
product's generational appeal while symbolizing Toyota's exciting new design
and product direction for future sedans.

Give Your Toddler the Opportunity to Experience CompetenceResearch has shown that toddlers tantrum less and cooperate more when they feel more powerful. There are three key ways you can help your toddler experience herself as a person with healthy power in the world...
Don't Take It Personally!Your teenager slams the door to her bedroom. Your ten-year-old huffs "Mom, you never understand!" Your four-year-old screams "I hate you, Mommy!" What's the most important thing to remember? DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY! This isn't primarily about you, it's about them.
Why Boredom is Good for Your KidsMakes you feel put on the spot, right? Most of us respond to our kids' boredom by providing technological entertainment or structured activities. But unstructured time challenges kids to engage with themselves and the world, to imagine and invent and create.
Parenting Step-Children
QUESTIONI have a stepdaughter that I'm really struggling with. She's age 15 and has life figured out. I really DO care about her, but know she is heading down the wrong path. I'm really not trying to be judgmental, but know that I may be seen that way. I just don't feel like a 15-year-old is qualified to set ALL her own limits.

Twenty-twelve was a wild year for weather in the Washington metropolitan region.
On June 29, the derecho terrorized the area, forcing President Obama to declare Montgomery County a disaster area.
In the fall, while we were spared the major brunt, Hurricane Sandy caused widespread flooding, downed trees, food and supply shortages at local stores and numerous school, government and activity cancellations and postponements.
Those two weather events may have been the most memorable, but according to WJLA's website, a number of weather records were set in 2012:
- It will go down in history as the warmest year on record, eking out 1991's average temperature of 60.2 degrees
- Dec. 26, 2012 saw the most precipitation for that date in history, 1.42 inches
- September 2012 was the driest September in history with only 0.05 inches of precipitation
- Since 1871, only 13 years have been drier than 2012 with a total of 32.45 inches (more than seven inches below average.)
- Mid to late March saw the four warmest low temperatures on record
- July 7 saw a near record, with the 105-degree temperature falling just one degree shy of the record set on July 20, 1930.
How does the forecast for the start of 2013 look?
Look for New Year's Eve temperatures in the mid-30s, with only a 20 percent chance of precipitation overnight. New Year's Day should be slightly warmer with highs in the low-40s and a slightly increased chance of afternoon precipitation. The remainder of the first week of 2013 looks to be dry and chilly as well.

October 28th, 2011
The European Commission may rate oil from Canadian tar sands as more polluting based on studies that show it has a higher carbon footprint than standard crude oil, according to reports from Reuters.
EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard told a gathering in Brussels that it is a matter of scientific fact that "oil sands are more CO2-polluting than other kinds of fuel."
"And therefore we say it should have a specific value. It's nothing targeted against this particular fuel. We are doing that with all our different biofuels. It's the same methodology that we are applying for different things in the same directive," she said.

LE RÊVE - The Dream
Let your subconscious take flight while you're wide awake when you experience LE RÊVE - The Dream at the Wynn Resort. Once inside the Wynn Theater, you'll quickly see LE RÊVE is unlike anything you've witnessed before. Set on a 1-million gallon tank aqua stage with plush seats no further than 12 rows up and 40 feet away, this Las Vegas show offers arguably the most intimate theater-in-the-round experience anywhere in the world and can be seen for less with tickets from BestofVegas.com.
The Show
Taking its name from a 1932 Pablo Picasso painting that hotel mogul Steve Wynn has in his private collection, LE RÊVE opens with a woman falling asleep as her bed descends into the water as she begins to dream. From then on, it is a true journey into the subconscious mind. Rain, fire, and action will be everywhere you look during the first few minutes of this Vegas production showing just how fast things can change in a dream state. Some of the dreams are bright; some will be dark, and some could even be thought to be sexual and/or controversial. This show uses 87 performers from 17 different countries to tell the story using a unique blend of aerial-acrobatics, water ballet, synchronized swimming, comedy, and exhilarating feats of athleticism. This wonderfully different combination allows performers to enter and leave the stage both through the air and water. Plus, the stage atop of the water rises and lowers during the show to create different spaces for the performers to do their magic, including a breathtaking 87-foot high dive.
LE REVE Show Schedule: 7:00 p.m. | 9:30 p.m. Friday - Tuesday
Dark Days: Wednesday | Thursday
Age Requirements: Must be 5 years of age or older.
Show Duration: 75 minutes
Concessions: Bar located just outside theater.
VIP Tickets Include: A complimentary champagne bottle service; one chocolate-covered strawberry; one white chocolate-covered strawberry; two champagne flavored milk chocolate truffles; two cappuccino flavored milk chocolate truffles; two caramel flavored dark chocolate truffles (per two people); generously-scaled lounge seating with plenty of leg room; and private video monitors providing up-close imagery and live glimpses behind-the-scenes during the show.
Best Known For: Aquatic and acrobatic acts!
Other Information: Le Reve - The Dream encourages the use of NON-flash photography during the show.
Created by Franco Dragone -- the mind behind O, Mystère and La Nouba -- this is the quintessential Las Vegas show. The production is huge and keeps your attention on the stage for 75 minutes. Adults will love LE RÊVE for the brilliant story being told while kids laugh at the "angels" and their humorous gags as they appear and reappear throughout the show. And with VIP tickets from BestofVegas.com, you can enjoy champagne bottle service, chocolate covered truffles and behind-the-scenes monitors to see everything that happens during the show. LE RÊVE will truly have you walking out of the theater wondering if it was all a dream.

Q. We know how you feel about the "free" dinner seminars, but we couldn't help ourselves. The invitation was to a very expensive chain steakhouse, so we went for the meal.
It turns out the ideas presented at the dinner were of great interest to us. The focus was on converting your "tax hostile" IRA to a "tax free" investment vehicle. They also mentioned that the government may decide to seize assets within retirement plans and it is best to plan ahead and remove as many assets as possible sooner rather than later.
The idea is to take money from your IRA and buy a type of life insurance called equity indexed universal life insurance. Take a large sum out one year to pay the premium and then the next year we'd borrow from the policy to pay any taxes owed.
The money grows tax-deferred in the insurance policy until we retire and then the money can come out tax free each year to help meet our expenses in retirement. Since this is not an IRA, the money would be protected from any possible future seizing of retirement funds. My wife and I are in our mid-50s, and we both have fairly large IRA roll-overs from previous jobs. We plan to keep working for at least 10 years so the money in the policy would have time to grow. Is this a strategy we should consider?
A. Glad you had a nice steak dinner.
Think about this; doesn't it make sense that the more expensive the "free" dinner, the more the presenter is anticipating to make from sales to attendees that follow their advice? If they have such great financial ideas why do they have to buy you a steak?
The rumors that the U.S. government will be able to seize retirement funds have been around for a long time. It does seem like higher taxes and penalties may be in our future, but I don't think Congress, the president and the Supreme Court are going to allow a seizure of funds to happen.
I can't promise that it won't, but I don't think it is likely. Current proposals of not allowing any tax deduction for contributions once a person's retirement account balance reaches $3.5 million and disallowing a stretch IRA for non-spouse beneficiaries is a heads up on what the future may hold for savers and their children.
Don't let fear and unsubstantiated rumors determine your investment and retirement planning strategies. Pay attention to new laws being proposed and passed. Maintaining a diversified portfolio not only in asset classes but also in types of accounts, taxable, tax neutral (partially taxed such as an after tax investment account) and tax free (such as Roth IRAs and Municipal bonds) can offer more flexibility as laws change.
Depending on the amount of money you will be taking out to pay the premiums, the amount you'd need to borrow to pay the taxes and changes to the Equity Indexed Universal Life policy, the proposed strategy could have a very negative impact on your plans for retirement. If your current earnings from employment are decent and you take large distributions from an IRA to fund an EIUL policy you could easily put yourself in the 39.6 percent federal tax bracket. When you add a state tax of 8 percent, a 10 percent penalty since you are under age 591/2, the new 3.8 percent unearned income Medicare tax, your tax bite on the withdrawal might be as high as 61.4 percent.
The assumptions used in the illustration may show that this strategy works, but any future changes in the underlying assumptions could spell disaster.
You need to know what rate is used for the lending rate and whether it is fixed or variable. If it's fixed, that is good. If the rate used in the illustration is variable, it is probably going to increase over the life of the policy.
Most current lending rates I've seen are much lower than the 50-year historical average lending rate of 7 percent on life policies. When you begin borrowing from your policy in retirement, if the policy lending rate is higher than the rate used in the illustration, the amount you can borrow from the policy will be much less than what is shown in the illustration. When the interest on policy loans is charged is also relevant. Do they charge at the beginning or the end of the year. Since you are purchasing the life insurance policy to build cash value, you will also want to know whether the policy fees are structured to minimize the life insurance and maximize the cash value.
You also need to understand the impact cap and participation rates will have on your future income stream. If this has been helpful, you can send me a gift certificate to your favorite steak place.

Assistant Sports Editor
Marshall's receivers couldn't catch the ball. The defenders couldn't catch ball carriers. No one could catch Quincy McDuffie.
And in the end, Marshall never could catch Central Florida.
The Knights put an emphatic stamp on their dominance of the Thundering Herd Saturday, winning 54-17 to retain control of the race for Conference USA's East Division championship.
UCF (6-2, 4-0) is leaving the conference for the Big East after this season, and left one last reminder of which team has owned this series. Both teams joined C-USA in 2005, and the Knights won all eight games between the two since then.
This one was as decisive as any.
Things started well enough for the Herd, at least defensively. Derrick Thomas intercepted quarterback Blake Bortles on UCF's first offensive play, right after the Herd opened with a three-and-out that started with a dropped pass — a theme of the night.
The pick by Thomas gave Marshall a second chance, but this time the drive resulted in a turnover on downs thanks to four straight incomplete passes. On the fourth, Aaron Dobson was guarded closely by UCF cornerback A.J. Bouye, and the crowd booed loudly when pass interference was not called.
Justin Haig eventually gave the Herd a 3-0 lead on a 43-yard field goal with 7:47 left in the first quarter.
But just like the defense's success, that lead was short-lived.
McDuffie answered Haig's field goal with a 97-yard kickoff return to put the Knights ahead 7-3. It was McDuffie's fifth career kick return for a touchdown — but he wasn't finished.
Marshall (3-5, 2-2) scored its first touchdown on a 15-yard pass from Rakeem Cato to Antavious Wilson with 26 seconds left in the first half. After taking a knee to close the half, UCF was set to receive the opening kick of the third quarter.
McDuffie did it again, returning the kick 98 yards for his second return TD of the game. It was the first time UCF had two kicks returned for touchdowns in its football history.
A week after rushing for a career-high 192 yards at Memphis, UCF running back Latavius Murray had another big night. He ran for 156 yards and three touchdowns, including scores of 75 and 42 yards, and had a 20-yard touchdown catch that put the Knights up 40-10 in the third quarter and sent most of the announced crowd of 22,563 to the exits.
It was the first four-touchdown game of Murray's career.
The Knights' 54 points is the most scored by an opponent at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, which opened in 1991.
Cato completed 35 of 62 passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Gator Hoskins had a 1-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.
Marshall was held to 66 yards on 36 carries, an average of 1.8 yards per carry.
Their goal of winning a division title now severely hampered, the Herd will now have to focus on reaching a six-win season. They will try to get back on track next Saturday at home against Memphis. Kickoff will be 2 p.m. and the game will not be televised.
Note: Marshall's 1992 Division I-AA (Football Championship Subdivision) national championship team, including Beckley native and resident Chris Grose, lined up along the north goal line to be recognized between the first and second quarters. Among others present were Brad Lambert, an assistant coach on the team who now is the head coach at Charlotte; Phil Ratliff, who is now Lambert's recruiting coordinator; and Willy Merrick, the soccer player who kicked the game-winning field goal to beat Youngstwon State 31-28 in the championship game.

Silhouette CAMEO
Viewer Comments
This thing is so versatile, and the only machine you need. It beats the whole Cricut line hands down, I know I had all of those also.
I have the Silhouette Cameo and just love it. It can do so much. The designs are reasonable priced and can be downloaded so no need for bulky cartridges that take up valuable space in my craft room. There are a lot of sites that have freebie designs. Thank You for showing this webisode, I have learned more techniques on how to use my Cameo.
The Silhouette is absolutely a MUST HAVE for any scrapbooker or cardmaker! If you are considering whether to buy the silhouette or the cricut, look no further! It uses all the fonts and can even use the graphics on your computer to print and cut. And nowadays, you can get free fonts all over the Internet which means the types of letters you can print are ENDLESS! I'm especially in love with the vinyl and rhinestone capabilities of the machine. Best purchase I ever made!
How portable is the Cameo. I have a cricut that I take to crops and retreats, if I don't have a laptop can you take this to crops?
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Ann is our Cameo expert and she says:
Yes, you can use it without a computer, as long as you have your designs saved on an SD card (memory card). You can plug the SD card into your computer, save whatever designs you want to cut, and then take the card with you and plug it right into the slot on the CAMEO. The CAMEO has the option to cut designs from the SD card. The CAMEO is also portable in terms of size and weight; you just need a bag big enough to carry it.
I had the org. Silhouette, but wanted the ability to do the things the Cameo offers. I got it as a Christmas gift from my husband. For ANYONE who crafts, this is the best machine you will ever own. I make all the cards I send to family and friends, all my Christmas cards, scrapbook page embellishments, one-of-a-kind gifts, etc. with this great machine. This is a great price, and you will wonder how you ever crafted without it. If you have any problem, no matter the size, their Customer Service reps are the best.
I use my Cameo every single day for something. It will pay for itself in no time. If the house catches on fire, my Cameo is coming with me.
I'm interest in buying the cameo but I don't know what kind of paper do you used and if I can buy it from you
I enjoy very much all your videos
Thank you
Reply from Paper Wishes Customer Service:
Ann tested all kinds of papers that we carry which included cardstock, metallic gold and silver, glitter papers as well as regular patterned papersâall were from Paper Wishes. So on that score, you should be fine. It is a very fun machine.
Thank you for the e-mail of 101 Scrapbooking, 101 card making and 101 stamping. I buy the supplies and by the time I get around to using them, I have forgotten what to do, so the classes have been great.
So glad you carrying the Cameo. It is a superb instrument. I posted your site on the silhouette forum.A great place to discuss and ask questions. http://s15.zetaboards.com/Silhouette_Plus/faq/
I can't wait to try some of these projects....My Cameo arrives today...I'm so excited......
very interesting & hope yous can show more ideas with it another thing to think about in my crafting to do with card making wich i just started.
Beautiful images but...I like doing my cards or pages "cause I enjoy doing the work myself.The vinyl is a cool idea however.Thanks
I loved those little candy boxes. They are so sweet and just perfect for many things.
Thanks for sharing the video. I recently purchased the cameo and was delighted to see the beautiful cards and box and bag.
I love love LOVE my cameo! The cricut doesn't even compare, as it requires cartridges for fonts and shapes. The cameo uses whatever fonts you have on your computer and the shapes, designs, phrases, etc are limitless! You can "weld" your letters together easily, make mats for them, easily, trace your own designs, make T-shirts, vinyl designs (I did my son's mailbox), etching, and SO much more. If you are considering a craft machine at all...consider the cameo!
Definitely on my wishlist!
By the way, thank you for maintaining an archive of webisodes! I wanted to duplicate a card I made in 2009, and the instructions were still there.
You are the best - and I love your coordinating outfits.

Bella's puppies were picked up by animal control when a good samaritan called after seeing them sitting by a dumpster. A few hours later, animal control got a call that the mom, Bella, had come back to the dumpster looking for her puppies. Luckily, we were able to rescue all 3 puppies and their mother to continue their care and find them forever homes. Her puppies have all found homes, but Bella is still waiting for her special someone to bring her home. She is house and crate trained and would make a great addition to any home. Bella is so loving and give great hugs and kisses!
Please email email@example.com or call 706-705-2247 for more information about Bella.
Bella's adoption fee is reduced because someone knows how special she is and has sponsored her!

Jordi Mora Casanova holds a B.A. in chemistry and an M.A. in history of science from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). He is now a Ph.D. candidate at the Center for the History of Science at UAB. His interests are focused on alchemy and on chemistry of the 19th century. In his master's thesis he researched José Ramón de Luanco (1825–1905), who was one of the introducers of atomism in Spanish universities. Luanco wrote some works on the history of alchemy in Spain. His interest in transmutation was not merely historiographical but also scholarly. In his lectures at the University of Barcelona he considered the possibility of transmutation between elements, not through alchemical praxis but as a scientific challenge to be solved in the future. This relationship between transmutation and 19th-century chemistry is the focus of the current stage of Jordi Mora's Ph.D. dissertation.
Jordi Mora currently works as a scientific journalist at UAB. He has participated in many events related to the communication of and the history of chemistry, such as the recent series of speeches "From Alchemy to Nanotechnology: A Discontinous History of the Atom," given by the faculty of the Department of Communication Sciences at UAB. He is now involved in a project at Purdue University that aims to analyze the relationships between the esoteric and the occult with the development of modern science.

iMore Asks: What do you want to see at CES 2012?
CES 2012 is almost upon us and while Apple wouldn't be caught dead at the show, there will certainly be plenty of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad accessories crowding the halls, perhaps some new apps for the new year, and who knows -- maybe yet another dummy iPad leak?
We'll have Rene, Leanna, Ally, Jared, and the whole Mobile Nations crew live at the event to bring you the very latest and greatest CES 2012 has to offer.
So my question, iMore Nation, is this -- what do you want to see? What hot new cases do you want? What amazing new accessories? What killer new apps? Last year we had iPhone blood pressure readers, remote controlled drones, car starters, robot balls, and tons of other super sweet tech -- what can they do to top themselves this year?
There are 30 comments. Add yours.
Nothing special. Just hope to hear some redo news and not BS promises of things that never come.
That was supposed to say "real news"
While I hope we see something fun like that iPad mock up from last year, I'd like to see more and better iPhone controlled accessories. Bluetooth 4.0, I'm looking at you!
Id like to see a new name for this site. That'd be a winner
I vote for a new name for this site too... Seriously how on earth did the name get past the initial brainstorming session.
I have to agree. The name has to go!
The iOS app for Vizio tv's that was announced two(!) years ago.
Smart TV - we already have the cloud technology, so why
not expand it.
Ogmented realty glasses
New site name would be great :)
A robot that can intelligently clean my house!!
Small and large home appliances that can be controlled by my iPhone :)
A new site name. iNOmore
Hey Rene the name is cool I don't know y so babies keep crying about it......im hoping to see that new ar.drone being featured here
Pre 4 & Touchpad 2. Fall release. Oh well, one can dream. It was entertaining while it lasted.
That would be awsome! :D
We'd like to see many "smart" TV sets. Especially if they're running Android. That way, the Apple television set will look even better in comparison. Let all the wannabes make their glaring mistakes in public first.
I want to see the LifeProof case for the iPad 2, the one for the iPhone 4S is amazing and I want to be able to take my iPad in the pool
Remote control pool settings. I want to be able to turn the heater on in my pool from work.
I am at the CES every year, and I wonder why Apple thinks that they are too good to be there?
I want to see some "robotic, futuristic George Jetson crazy joint... Just like Uniblab...!"

Offense sells tickets – defense wins championships. That's the saying, and at least this season in college football, it was certainly the truth.
Using Seldom Used Reserve's (SUR) adjusted offensive rankings and Football Outsiders' (FO) defensive efficiency rankings – a grim, but not all that surprising truth about where Clemson and the rest of the ACC stands on the national scene is revealed.
The Tigers rank ninth nationally in SUR's offensive efficiency numbers (11th in tempo/18th in adjusted efficiency), but fall at 63rd in FO's defensive FEI.
Clemson was one of eight teams among the best 25 offenses, which also finished in the top-25 of the final BCS rankings.
The number of top-25 defenses in those same standings? 17.
Next level up, 90 percent of the top-10 in the BCS had a top-25 defense, including title game participants Alabama and Notre Dame, while 30 percent had elite offenses.
All in the top-15, Oregon (11-1), Georgia (11-2) and Florida State (11-2) had top-25 units on both sides of the ball.
By conference, FSU was the ACC's lone representative in FO's top-25 defensive rankings, while UNC joined the Tigers and 'Noles among offenses.
Regional foe SEC had three top-tier offenses (Texas A&M, Tennessee and Georgia), while boasting five elite defenses – including Chick-fil-A Bowl opponent LSU at No. 12.
Oddly enough, the Big 10 had the most top defenses (5) and zero top-25 offenses – one maybe leading to the other in some fashion there.
The Big 12 had the most teams with top-25 units, 8-of-10 members having a top 'O' (5) or 'D' (3), while the PAC-12 had six (three offenses; four defenses).
If anything, the impact of Morris leaving/not leaving has an obvious effect, as the Tigers wouldn't be top-15 this season without him, but long-term, the development of the defense under Brent Venables looks to be the key to taking the next step as a program.
Efficiency the key this season
SUR totaled their play-by-play percentages for college football this season, which we used to review the Tigers weekly on their stats to win (70 percent or better winning percentage with the advantage in the categories).
The stat tied most to victory was yards per pass (76.2 win percentage – 8.18 to 6.4 per on average), closely followed by yards per play (76.5), rushing yards (75.7), turnover margin (75.3) and total yards (75.1).
Per SUR, winning teams averaged less than two plays more than their opponent, but with almost 100 more yards (94.5) per.
Overall, scoring was up 4.3 percent this season, even losing teams posting at least 20 points.
Winning teams averaged about six more penalty yards (54.16-48.89), but at almost a full turnover less (1.25-2.24).

TAZEWELL, Va. —
One of the Legends of the Spring has stepped aside.
Lucian "Lou" Peery, one of the area's most respected athletic figures and head baseball coach at Tazewell High School from 1979-2004 and 2006-2013, has decided to retire from coaching.
Peery, who has produced scores of college players and coached three professional performers, notified school officials earlier this week of his decision to take leave of the dugout.
"You always want to pick the right time to go and I decided back in May that this was the time for me," said Peery. "I love baseball but more than that I love the kids. Whatever is best for them is what I have always tried to do."
Peery, whose name will live on at Lou Peery Field where the Bulldogs play, has led Tazewell to 10 Southwest District regular season and tournament championships, seven Coppinger Invitational Tournament crowns, a pair of Region IV titles and five appearances in the Virginia High School League state playoffs.
Overall, he coached Tazewell to more than 440 victories and earned a reputation as a "player's coach" for his dedication.
Peery was also an assistant coach with Bill Strong in 1978 when the Tazewell baseball program organized. He played for many years in local baseball and softball leagues and tournaments and was recognized as one of the best hitters in the area with a record number of home runs.
He worked with many of the Bulldog sports programs and was a teacher at Tazewell High for more than 30 years. He is a member of the Tazewell High School Hall of Fame.
Peery grew up in Thompson Valley and first attended Tazewell County High School in Bluefield, Virginia, before integration.
He graduated from Tazewell High in 1966, served in the U.S. Armed Forces, graduated from Emory & Henry College, and began his coaching and teaching career in the mid-1970s.
His teams first began practice down at the Tazewell Fairgrounds, played at the town's Lincolnshire Park facility for several seasons and moved to the field that now bears his name in the late 1990s. It was Peery's vision for a baseball facility and work of a strong booster organization that made the sterling playing area possible.
Since 1979, the only season Peery was not head coach was 2005, when he stepped aside for health reasons. His veteran assistant Jeff Brintle took the reins that year and had a successful campaign as his son, Josh, was SWD player of the year.
Brintle then relinquished the job, due in part to a heavy work load in the local judicial system, and Peery resumed his record-setting career. Assistants Aaron Buchanan and Mike Catron were in the program at that time and remain Peery's key staff members.
"I have tried to run the program in such a way that whomever takes the job will do things the right way because it is already set up to be focused on doing what is best for the kids," Peery said. "That is what I believe in first and I think a coach like Aaron, for example, would step in to the job and carry on what we have tried to build one day at a time. He and Mike work well together and they know our system."
Brintle was another Tazewell coach with a solid baseball background who helped the program at a key moment.
Brintle, a star pitcher himself at East Tennessee State University, recalls, "Lou has been such an important part of the community. I seldom use the term 'icon' but it certainly applies in his case. I was fortunate to also help with the program as an assistant and as a pitching coach for a time and I am very proud of that association.
"Coach Peery has a tremendous reputation in the town and the area for what he has worked toward. More than one generation of children and parents have sought his advice and trusted in his program. He is a one-of-a-kind individual."
Peery's teams have been perennially successful and three players have advanced beyond the college level. Billy Wagner, Jack Compton, and Zak Wasilewski have earned the "pro" label. Compton played for the Astros organization in 2000, Wagner was Houston's number one draft pick in 1993 and notched 422 major league saves, and Wasilewski is currently a member of the Bluefield Blue Jays beginning his first Appy League season.
Trey Lambert, a veteran pitcher at Liberty University in Lynchburg, is projected by many to become the fourth of Peery's charges to be drafted following the upcoming collegiate season.
Peery says, "I'm proud of all the players. Billy has been unique but they all have. I think I will be up at Bowen Field this week to see Wassy throw. I may not be coaching any more but I am not giving up baseball."
Wagner, whose All-Star major league career is the stuff of legend in T-Town, and who is now a coach himself at Miller School in Charlottesville, said Tuesday, "Well, I would put Jesus above Coach Peery but that's about it. I have never met a man or a coach at any stop of my career I would compare to Coach Peery. He loves every kid 100 percent.
"He and I have had a lot of conversations and he and I see things the same way, you can't put success on a stat sheet. It's what a child does in the world that really matters. He (Peery) has always been about making kids better. I don't know to start to say all the good things that need to be mentioned about a man with the character of Coach Peery."
Peery has impacted a variety of players with sterling high school (and beyond) careers including Drew Barrett, Stuart Angles, Dustin Barrett, Casey Herald, Wes Gentry, Jake Graham, and many others, who all respect him.
One of the premier athletes in Tazewell sports was Jeff Lamie (Class of '88) who earned All-State honors in football and baseball who was also an academic star. Lamie, like Wagner, and several others, often comes back to work with camps and special projects related to the baseball program and Peery.
Lamie says, "There's nobody better. I wish he could go on forever. I think he's made the program what it is — one of the best— and without a doubt, Coach Peery has been like a second father to me. He showed us what to do without getting on us all the time. By his mannerisms, I guess he got me to adopt the philosophy that the way you lead is shown by what you do and not by what you say."
Tazewell principal Rodney Reid, who along with athletic director Tom Keene has worked closely with Peery, says, "This is a sad day for us. Coach Peery made the decision it was time for him to step aside. He is a gracious and wonderful man.
"The baseball world in general, and not just the Tazewell baseball team, will miss him very much. We will start looking soon for someone to follow him. That is the only way I can say it because nobody will ever replace him."
Peery, the veteran warrior, has battled a variety of health concerns over the past decade while continuing to spend countless hours — including weekends and summers — at the baseball complex tending to scheduling, mowing, maintenance, office duties, and presiding over practices while sharing his knowledge with young men the year 'round.
Long-time field announcer and booster Larry D. Blankenship, who refers to the baseball facility as "the house that Lou built," has worked with Peery for many years and recalls a conversation that reveals the veteran coach's philosophy.
Blankenship says, "Lou told me 'I never focus on wins and losses. If I have 14 individuals on a team, I try to help make them good students, good sons, and work so they can go on to be good husbands, good dads, and productive citizens. If I can teach them a little baseball along the way, then the wins and losses will take care of themselves.'
"That sums up Coach Peery's philosophy. I would add to that, I played every sport in high school myself that was offered, I played college and organized baseball, and Lou Peery is the best coach in any sport at any level that I have ever seen."
A legion of Tazewell players and fans would agree.

My womens' sports links page on my blog, aboutmaleprivilege.tumblr.com. I have added a bunch of soccer and parkour videos/documentaries and I think it's at least large enough to be taken seriously now. I welcome website submissions, you can send them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I did a quick Q&A with 'em as well. Inchin' closer to the Pitt game!
His answer. Below-averagely.
I thought this was a tad harsh, but it's definitely clear that Etan Thomas was not bonding with the rest of the team. Then again, I tend to shy away from these "locker room" commentary pieces naturally (it's a bias!), and Rashad's comment in the last thread adds some credence to Truth's position. Definitely an interesting issue to discuss, though.
I know Dan's blog posts lead more to the light-hearted side than to the serious side, but I actually came away from this one thinking that Sam's just the guy to get the most out of Arenas. It's clear Arenas respects the guy even though Gil's never actually worked with him.
Great update from Michael Lee of the Post about Nick Young's offseason workouts with Flip Saunders and Sam Cassell. It sounds like Nick's getting some really good personal attention here and is working hard. This is probably a good thread to discuss Nick's status on the team and as an asset before I finish up my ideal SG for Arenas post later today.
I'd probably have him a little higher (Carlos Boozer and Chauncey Billups better than Gilbert?), but Ziller does a great job reminding everyone who forgot in the past year of his strengths.
Another take on why Michael Turner is called "The Burner," this one in postcard form.
Good lord this is funny.

Parents, teachers and students are invited to take a statewide survey aimed at identifying strengths and weaknesses at local schools.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey, run by the State Board of Education (ISBE), opened Feb. 1 and can be taken online through March 31.
It focuses on five essential components for school success: effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environment and ambitious instruction.
The survey will also be administered to students in the sixth through 12th grades.
Survey results will help Illinois "lead the nation in providing a unique opportunity to deliver more comprehensive and reliable information on how to improve schools that test scores alone simply cannot capture," according to the survey website. "The end result will be a comprehensive user-friendly school report that offers a comprehensive picture of schools' strengths and weaknesses providing a clear pathway to improvement."
The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete, Stevenson High School said in its Daily Digest.
The ISBE is offering the survey as the result of a new state law that requires it to conduct "a learning conditions survey" every other year, according to a document on the ISBE website.
"While this survey may help inform state policy and improvement initiatives, it is primarily intended to help local administrators identify strengths and weaknesses at the district and school level and target the necessary resources and interventions. Aggregated data from this anonymous survey will also be shared with parents and the general public on school report cards," the document said.

By JUDY SHERIDAN
The three-way race for Precinct 4 commissioner will end in a May 27 Republican primary runoff with front-runner Steve Dugan — who received 1,776 votes — facing incumbent Dusty Renfro, a candidate who told voters he didn't want the job but got 1,213 votes anyway. Fred Hammons received 704 votes.
"I'm guess I'm going to have to put my working clothes back on and get after it," Dugan said. "I was hopeful it wouldn't go for another two months. It's got to have been name recognition and people not keeping up with the news."
Dugan, Renfro's foreman, filed for the Precinct 4 Commissioner slot late in the filing period after Renfro had already filed. Renfro then tried to withdraw but was prevented from doing so by new election rules. His name stayed on the ballot, although he announced he wasn't really running for office and campaigned for Dugan door-to-door and at meet-and-greet events.
Renfro and Hammons were unavailable for comment late Tuesday night.
Dugan has said his top three goals are purchasing more land to relocate some of the precinct's operations, broadening relationships with the cities in the precinct and being a good steward with the general fund and road and bridge fund.
Hammons, a King Ranch transportation specialist and the general manager of a restaurant franchise, said his top goals were ensuring a smooth turnover of responsibilities at the precinct, meeting with the precinct's staff, identifying resources and prioritizing projects.

The Danger of the Daniel Manning Prosecution
Yochai Benkler, a Harvard law professor and one of the expert witnesses in the Bradley Manning case, has a long and very compelling article in the New Republic about the dangers of that prosecution and how it is being pursued primarily as a deterrent to future whistleblowers. I found this passage particularly prescient:
A country's constitutional culture is made up of the stories we tell each other about the kind of nation we are. When we tell ourselves how strong our commitment to free speech is, we grit our teeth and tell of Nazis marching through Skokie. And when we think of how much we value our watchdog press, we tell the story of Daniel Ellsberg. Decades later, we sometimes forget that Ellsberg was prosecuted, smeared, and harassed. Instead, we express pride in a man's willingness to brave the odds, a newspaper's willingness to take the risk of publishing, and a Supreme Court's ability to tell an overbearing White House that no, you cannot shut up your opponents.
But it isn't enough to tell such stories to congratulate ourselves for how much we love the First Amendment and how committed we are to freedom of speech and of the press, especially in light of the government's relentless attempts to keep secret its own misdeeds:
Whistleblowers play a critical constitutional role in our system of government, particularly in the area of national security. And they do so at great personal cost. The executive branch has enormous powers over national security and the exercise of that power is not fully transparent. Judicial doctrines like the "state secrets" doctrine allow an administration to limit judicial oversight. Congress' oversight committees have also tended to leave the executive relatively free of constraints. Because the materials they see are classified, there remains little public oversight. Consider the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on the interrogation torture practices during the immediate post 9/11 years: Its six thousand pages, according to Senator Dianne Feinstein, are "one of the most significant oversight efforts in the history of the United States Senate." But they are unavailable to the public.
Freedom of the press is anchored in our constitution because it reflects our fundamental belief that no institution can be its own watchdog. The government is full of well-intentioned and quite powerful inspectors general and similar internal accountability mechanisms. But like all big organizations, the national security branches of government include some people who aren't purely selfless public servants. Secrecy is necessary and justified in many cases. But as hard-earned experience has shown us time and again, it can be—and often is—used to cover up failure, avarice, or actions that simply will not survive that best of disinfectants, sunlight.
That's where whistleblowers come in. They offer a pressure valve, constrained by the personal risk whistleblowers take, and fueled by whatever moral courage they can muster. Manning's statement in court yesterday showed that, at least in his motives, he was part of that long-respected tradition. But that's also where the Manning prosecution comes in, too. The prosecution case seems designed, quite simply, to terrorize future national security whistleblowers. The charges against Manning are different from those that have been brought against other whistleblowers. "Aiding the enemy" is punishable by death. And although the prosecutors in this case are not seeking the death penalty against Manning, the precedent they are seeking to establish does not depend on the penalty. It establishes the act as a capital offense, regardless of whether prosecutors in their discretion decide to seek the death penalty in any particular case.
One of the things that has come out recently is that Manning approached the New York Times, the Washington Post and Politico about leaking those documents to them but got no interest. That's why he went to WikiLeaks instead. If one of those more mainstream media outlets had taken him up on the offer, it's likely that they would have not been as indiscriminate with the release of documents that either show nothing (most of what he leaked were just routine diplomatic cables and the like, of no real consequence) or that might genuinely be too sensitive to release, at least in unredacted form.
