More than 3,200 people per day failed to turn up for treatment, costing the capital's health service hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Nationwide, the problem costs the NHS £600million a year and experts say that if patients phoned in advance to cancel appointments then hospital waiting times could be significantly reduced from the current average of 18 weeks.
The figures were revealed by health minister Ben Bradshaw in a written answer to a Parliamentary question tabled by Stephen Byers. They are for missed inpatient and outpatient appointments in London in 2007/8.
Lambeth primary care trust tops the league table with 69,886 missed appointments, closely followed by Lewisham (63,709) and Southwark (65,630).
Geoff Martin of campaign group London Health Emergency said: "This level of cancelled appointments raises some very serious questions about the management of NHS appointments.
"People not turning up at their appointed time places a massive burden on staff and has severe consequences for the running of the service and also severe financial consequences. Urgent action must be taken to stem a situation where people feel they don't need to pitch up for their allotted time, because it has a devastating effect on the ability of the service to operate effectively."
The Lambeth trust today urged patients and clinicians to work together to make sure appointments were offered for convenient times. A spokesman said: "A missed hospital appointment means the patient might not get the treatment they need and that someone else might wait longer for their appointment."
A spokeswoman for Ealing PCT, which had 58,727 missed appointments, said: "I am sure it is not malicious on the part of patients but we would ask people: please, if you can't get to an appointment ring and cancel.
"Waiting lists are lower than they were but if one person doesn't turn up for an appointment it means someone else in need is missing out."
She said reasons for missed appointments included forgetfulness, patients deciding it was no longer needed, the date being inconvenient and a change of address not being recorded.
A Department of Health spokesman said: "People have a responsibility to keep their appointments or cancel them in good time. Providing reliable access to NHS services and encouraging patients to use the NHS sensibly and responsibly is important in reducing the number of missed appointments.
"We want to make it easier for people to be able to cancel appointments by improving practice telephone systems and encouraging the use of SMS texts and email.
"Other initiatives, such as electronic booking, are helping too. We will also continue to promote other options for seeing a GP or nurse, such as NHS walk-in centres where appointments are unnecessary." Ministers rejected the idea of introducing fines for persistent offenders.

Monday Night Sit with Matthew Brensilver- Live Streamed!
Can't make it to tonight's sit? Live in LA and miss Matthew like crazy? Please join us in a special experiment on Monday 10/12! We'll be testing out the first-ever live stream of our sangha here in SF, and we'd love for you to join us. We'd also love to have your feedback on how it went!
Here's the streaming link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BGmMph2EJE
During the sit, you might want to set an alarm for 30 minutes. If the stream fails during the sit, it may not automatically restart on your computer. If so, you'll need to press play again.
This is our first real test of streaming out of the San Francisco center. So… there may be some hiccups as we test all the tech needed to make it happen. Please have patience with us as we work with our (not exactly the fastest) internet connection and try to get the dharma seeds fitted into their little data packets and out to you.
We would love feedback (and really need it)! Was it good for you too? Or not so much? Let us know how it went with video quality, audio quality, connection (did it stop and start) and/or any other good or bad things you noticed. We eventually plan on doing this weekly, but the next test won't be until November. Please email [email protected] with feedback.
We'll start broadcasting at 7:25pm PST .
Hope you'll join us!

'THE Shawshank Redemption' star, Morgan Freeman, is the first of Paramount and director Timur Bekmambetov's castings for the upcoming remake of the 1959 film based on Lew Wallace's 1880 novel 'Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ', Deadline reports.
Freeman is to take on the role of Ildarin, the man who teaches the slave Ben-Hur to become a champion-caliber chariot racer, in the film which will more closely follow Wallace's novel than the previous film – which starred Charlton Heston.
The studios are reportedly also getting closer to finding actors to portray Judah Ben-Hur and his friend-turned-bitter-rival Messala.
Freeman is currently starring with Scarlett Johansson in 'Lucy' and recently signed on for 'Ted 2'.
'Ben-Hur' is scheduled for release on February 26, 2016. – BANG!

Manchester City entertain Hull at the Etihad Stadium looking to bounce back after their shock defeat to Premier League new-boys Cardiff and Hull, buoyed by their 10-man victory over Norwich last weekend, will take inspiration from their fellow newly-promoted rivals.
City, who face something of a defensive crisis, have been boosted by the news that captain Vincent Kompany could return sooner than expected, but his recovery will come too late for the match against the Tigers. Matija Nastasic may also feature in the game after sitting out the defeat to Cardiff.
A second-string Hull side needed extra-time to see off League One Leyton Orient in the second round of the Capital One Cup in mid-week and their line-up against last season's Premier League runners-up will see a host of familiar names return with new signings Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore looking to continue their fine start to life at the Tigers.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 12.45pm
Hull 2 (Altidore, Boateng) Manchester City 1 (Adebayor), Premier League, February 2010
Manchester City 1 (Wright-Phillips) Hull 1 (Bullard), Premier League, November 2009
Manchester City 5 (Caicedo 2, Robinho 2, Ireland) Hull 1 (Fagan), Premier League, December 2008
City have averaged two goals per game against Hull.
Hull have only beaten City five times in their previous 21 meetings.
But, in their most recent two league fixtures against City in the 2009/10 season, Hull were unbeaten.
Manchester City to win: 1.15
Hull to win: 15
Draw: 8
After scoring an equaliser from the penalty spot in their Premier League encounter in 2009, Hull's Jimmy Bullard celebrated by giving his team-mates a mock dressing down on the pitch, parodying manager Phil Brown's infamous actions earlier in the season.

|Reviews for Love Lies Bleeding
| JustDanny chapter 10 . 5/15/2010
I luuuv this story. Really. 's a shame you've left it here; it was truly promising, and I loved the way you pictured Hikou.
| Annie-chan chapter 10 . 2/20/2010
Hello there.
I know it's been years and years since you updated this story. I remember reading it when you were still posting for it, up until chapter 5, I think. I lost contact with it for one reason or another, but I just recently found it again. It brought back welcome memories of my first real anime obsession (Chichiri), and I was glad there were chapters up that I hadn't read.
I really do love this story. It's very well-written and well-thought-out. You've incorporated elements from the anime, manga, and Gaiden novels, and woven them all together with a fluidity that many writers lack. I'm very impressed.
I am rather disappointed that there are only 10 chapters when your bio states that you planned 25. Is there anywhere else online where you have more of this story posted? I would very much like to read more.
Oh, and I believe you once contacted me concerning my own FY fanfiction, "Love, Life, and Death." It was about the Houjun-Hikou-Kouran situation, just in a completely different way. I don't know if you remember me or my writing, but I did appreciate your critique.
Anyway, if you get this review, please send a reply. I'd like to know how you're doing-you said you were writing a novel, yes?-and it'd be good to reconnect with a fellow Chichiri-fan after so many years.
Love and peace,
| Shinochi chapter 10 . 1/25/2003
Yaaay, you updated! _ I agree, Hikou bearing children is HILARIOUS! Please update again soon, I want to know what'll happen to the kid.
| Sansele chapter 10 . 1/7/2003
Wai! _ You updated! And the thought of Hikou getting pregnant... *runs off to laugh wildly* Ah, but this chapter is rather cute, considering the darkish atmosphere of the before chapters. But what's going to happen to the kid?
| Eeyaatoe chapter 10 . 1/7/2003
Oh my god...you updated! ::Fireworks go up in background:: I've been waiting forever to see this chapter! It was funnny.
My favorite part:
~"What?" the demon finally asked, bewildered.
"Well, your hips, Hikou. They're terrible!" Houjun said, much to Hikou's confusion. The monk then elaborated. "And you're much to thin! We're going to have to work on you if you're going to be child bearing."
A bead of sweat formed at Hikou's temple, and one brow quivered. "Oi," he muttered. "You leave my hips outta this." As if to punctuate his threat, he waved the mush-loaded spoon in Houjun's direction.~
I was laughing my ass off when I read it. I'm just all hyper now that I read this! I can't wait for Chapter 11! -
| Schizo13 chapter 9 . 1/6/2003
When are you gonna put the next chapter up! I swear I must have read this last year! _ Update soon! I really love this fic, it's so sad yet sweet at the same time.
| Shinochi chapter 9 . 12/24/2002
I always love a good angst! This was GREAT! I wish you would write more- the suspense is killing me, even though you haven't written in it for a long time. Please, continue? PLEASE! *begs* I need more!
| Sansele chapter 9 . 7/29/2002
Oh gosh, this is so sad, but it's so good... I kinda like Hikou/Houjun now, *snicker*, as opposed to Tas/Chi. You write very well, not just in lemons but in storyline and plot... nice... post up another chapter soon, please?
| oriquey chapter 9 . 5/3/2002
This is awesome dude!Write some more!
| Gator Ri chapter 9 . 3/28/2002
Awwww...poor Chichiri and Hikou! v.v This was sooooo good. I can't wait til there's more.
| Iktia chapter 9 . 3/27/2002
Wai! Write more! **sniffles** I love this fic, I just couldn't stop reading it. Please put up more so I can find out what happens next! I'll give you a lollipop if you do? **gets puppy dog eyes** pwease? Hikou and Houjun forever!
~Light is Dark in the Reflection~
Iktia Jigoku
| blazingfuzzball chapter 9 . 3/23/2002
Absolutely incredible. Please continue.
| Gator Ri chapter 8 . 3/22/2002
Agh! Please continue! I'm loving this fic, it's very well written! Hikou comes off so well! _ Keep up the good work!
| Noda no Miko chapter 3 . 3/4/2002
(is happy she got her lemon) Yay! Noda, that was a niiiiiiiice chapter! (Hentai grin)Do it again! Ooooooneeegai! Can you write a lemon just for me? (wishes she could write them) Okay, I NEED to go read chapter four.

"Hit Man was a Hit"
I liked this story even though I was cheering for the bad guy. It was entertaining the listen as the "hits" were planned and executed. Good story.
"An aquired taste"
I had to sit through this book twice before I came to really enjoy it. The idea of the main character takes a bit of getting used to.
I do recommend this book and I hope the author considers it for a series. Hmmm.
I love books and animals.I enjoy all sorts of genres, anything from history to supernatural.
"very entertaining"
This is a very entertaining to listen to. Great characters.
"Hardboiled with a heart"
One of the best books I've listened to from audible. The chapters are more like short stories, but they tie together in a broad way. I'm not sure why some people don't like Robert Forster as a narrator, I think he's fantastic for this kind of material. Highly recommend.
"Awesome book for cheap price"
I figured this would be a boring story or bad quality (considering its price). But this was a GREAT listen...check it out!
House of Books
"Who Knew?"
I initially purchased Hit Man because it was so inexpensive--that and the rave reviews. What a bargain! A most excellent read, and the narrator is perfect. I laughed and even held my breath at times, waiting to hear what would happen. Best novel I've listened to for quite some time--and I listen to a lot of novels.
"Surprisingly good!"
In spite of the subject, I found myself relaxed and enjoying the being the fly on the wall of the life of the hit man. In the end, I did not want the book to end. A mark of an ejoyable read or listen! Try it!

Once just a tiny fishing village on the north coast of Fuerteventura, Corralejo's harbour now receives ferries full of day-trippers from Playa Blanca in Lanzarote every day and the town plays host to hundreds of holidaymakers who are drawn to spend a sunny, sandy holiday in the island's tourist magnet. Although tourism is booming and development is keeping pace, the little port still retains its charm. Just outside the town is a protected nature reserve festooned with miles of sand dunes. The surrounding beaches are more than inviting and visitors to this Spanish resort town are spoilt for choice with beaches such as the sheltered Playa la Clavellina just near the harbour, or Playa del Medano which joins to Playa de Viejo. Playa del Pozo is also located just outside of Corralejo and is popular with nudists.
Resort Rating
Among the activities to keep holidaymakers busy in Corralejo are a variety of watersports, tennis, glass-bottom boat trips, ferry trips to Lanzarote, jeep safaris, island tours, mountain biking and motorcycle tours. The Baku Waterpark and Golf complex is centrally located.
While in Corralejo, recommended eateries for holidaymakers are El Bribon, The Point Restaurant, El Pescador or the Taverna Los Piratas Bar Tapas. The waterfront promenade boasts numerous restaurants and cafes, most in converted historic houses. Corralejo's restaurants offer a wide choice, from good old English fish and chips to Mexican tacos or Indian curry. There is even a smattering of eateries serving up Canarian cuisine and fresh seafood.

Corfu General Hospital, Corfu Town, Greece
SESSION TITLE: Miscellaneous Global Case Reports
SESSION TYPE: Global Case Report
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Polymyositis (PM) and Dermatomyositis (DM) are well known to be associated with an increased risk for various cancers; among them all the histologic subtypes of lung cancer. Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) is encountered in about 25% of PM-DM subjects. ASS constitutes of specific anti-myositis antibodies and any of myositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), raynaud phenomenon, fever, arthritis and mechanic`s hands. Few data exist regarding the association between ASS and lung cancer.
CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient was a 63 year old male, current smoker (75pack/years). He was diagnosed with COPD 2 years ago and arterial hypertension. He was admitted to our department complaining of fatigue, proximal muscle weakness and shortness of breath at mild exercise for the previous 2 months. Physical examination revealed scattered rales in both lungs, a hyperkeratotic rash in the lateral and palmar surface of both his hands, and a buttocks` rash. Chest radiography showed hyperinflation and a thickenning of the right paratracheal lining. Blood tests revealed an ESR 40mm/h and a Creatin Phosphokinase (CPK) levels of 2,470 U/L. Tumor markers were negative. A diagnosis of DM was suspected. Muscle biopsy and electromyogram confirmed a diagnosis of DM. Further, immunological testing revealed ANA titers of 1:320 and positive anti-Jo1 autoantibodies. Combined with the myositis and the hands` rash compatible with "mechanic`s hands", ASS was conclusively diagnosed. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the chest performed afterwards showed enlarged upper right paratracheal and subcarinal lymph nodes, a right lower lobe 1.5 cm nodule and sites of pleural thickening in the right hemithorax. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan was done to better evaluate the above findings. PET scan detected suggestive of malignancy uptake in the mediastinal lymph nodes and in the pleural lesions. A diagnostic bronchoscopy was then carried out. Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) using a 21-gauge needle obtained cytology material from station 7 nodes which was diagnostic for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), specifically adenocarcinoma (Stage IV: TxN2M1a). Consequently, a concurrent diagnosis of Dermatomyositis, especially ASS, and lung adenocarcinoma was made. The patient was then started on first line chemotherapy.
DISCUSSION: Dermatomyositis has been shown to carry an increased standardized incidence ratio for concomitant malignancy, raging from 2.4 to 6.2 in various studies (1). This risk is higher for DM compared to other inflammatory myopathies, thus identifying DM as a "paraneoplastic" disorder. However, it is not clear which are the risk factors predisposing a subject with DM to develop a malignancy. ASS comprises of a DM subgroup with positive Myositis specific autoantibodies (MSA`s) (Jo-1, Mi-2, PL-7, 155/140). A high incidence of ILD (80%) is encountered in ASS, but yet ILD is not uniformly met. It has been postulated that DM patients with ASS and MSA are associated with a significantly lower risk of malignancy than DM patients without ASS, suggesting for ASS a rather "protective" role (2). In a recent study, Jo-1 antibodies were present in 4.8% of concomitant DM and cancer patients, but in 15.9% of DM patients without malignancy (3). Overall, although ASS appears less commonly associated with cancer than non-ASS DM, cases of such an association exist in the current literature.
CONCLUSIONS: Currently, it is unknown which DM patients are more prone to malignancy and therefore should undergo more intense investigation to that direction. ASS is associated with ILD and, possibly, with a lower probability of concurrent cancer. However, our case report clearly shows that ASS without ILD may be associated with lung adenocarcinoma and that prompt evaluation is warranted.

Description: Sacred sites offer believers the possibility of communing with the divine and achieving deeper insight into their faith. Yet their spiritual and cultural importance can lead to competition as religious groups seek to exclude rivals from practicing potentially sacrilegious rituals in the hallowed space and wish to assert their own claims. Holy places thus create the potential for military, theological, or political clashes, not only between competing religious groups but also between religious groups and secular actors.In War on Sacred Grounds, Ron E. Hassner investigates the causes and properties of conflicts over sites that are both venerated and contested; he also proposes potential means for managing these disputes. Hassner illustrates a complex and poorly understood political dilemma with accounts of the failures to reach settlement at Temple Mount/Haram el-Sharif, leading to the clashes of 2000, and the competing claims of Hindus and Muslims at Ayodhya, which resulted in the destruction of the mosque there in 1992. He also addresses more successful compromises in Jerusalem in 1967 and Mecca in 1979. Sacred sites, he contends, are particularly prone to conflict because they provide valuable resources for both religious and political actors yet cannot be divided.The management of conflicts over sacred sites requires cooperation, Hassner suggests, between political leaders interested in promoting conflict resolution and religious leaders who can shape the meaning and value that sacred places hold for believers. Because a reconfiguration of sacred space requires a confluence of political will, religious authority, and a window of opportunity, it is relatively rare. Drawing on the study of religion and the study of politics in equal measure, Hassner's account offers insight into the often-violent dynamics that come into play at the places where religion and politics collide.

Fantom TechnologiesOut of Business
Consumer Reviews and Complaints
I purchased a Fantom vacuum cleaner in 1993. I mainly bought it because it was purported to be strong and need no vacuum bags. In addition, it had a filtration system to help keep smaller particles of dirt from getting into the air while cleaning, a plus to a mother raising children with disabilities. It is now 2015 and I still have my original unit. It still works on my day-to-day vacuuming jobs. It has lost a little of its punch and I no longer try to get replacement filters... My kids are long gone. This is the only purchase I have made in my life that has had such a long and satisfactory story!
Many of the reviews I have seen relate to what I've heard about the company. Now being 2015, there's fewer and fewer of these vacuum cleaners in existence, and the ones that are still out there have seen their better days. I have took time to study and see where they went wrong.
-The power cord: I've noticed on all models, the power cord does get warm after light use. I haven't ran across any that have caught on fire, or came even remotely close, but my theory is that the wire gauge is too small to run a 12 amp motor at 120 volts. Because the company is no longer in business, there are no support options anymore. A simple fix for this issue would be to take the unit apart, and replace the power cord from the inside. The wires should match up by color (black to black, white to white) but keep in mind to buy a cord for a different vacuum cleaner (bissell, hoover, etc). This will prevent the issue from occurring again. Use crimp connectors to attach the wires together, and make sure to lightly tug on the connections to ensure they won't come loose during use.
-Fantom Fury: I noticed that a large amount of dust somehow makes it into the motor, causing a loud noise and vibration during use. There is a metal impeller on the motor which creates suction when the vacuum is on. To fix this, make sure the vacuum is unplugged, and take it apart down to the motor, and use an air compressor with an air wand to remove the dust build up in the impeller. Put it back together, it should make a huge difference. Not sure why this occurs, probably a filtration issue of some sort. I've ran across this multiple times.
-Fantom Lightning: Make sure you keep the mesh pre-filter clean. This will prevent damage.
Fantom FM718 - I've had this vacuum for many years. Recently though, the motor thermal protector has been cutting off with barely one room being done. I took the vacuum apart and gave it a thorough cleaning, including the little filter over the motor. This hasn't helped the problem. I would like to keep this vacuum, so if anyone has a suggestion to correct this problem please email me at **. Thanks.
I've had my Fantom ever since they first came out on the market. Bought it in 1997 and have had it ever since and the only thing I have ever had to replace is the belt every once in awhile. Or change out the HEPA filter. It picks up the pet hair and dander really great. And it has never failed me once. The price I paid for it when I bought it at Target stores, it has paid for itself and then some. I choose it over Dyson products which reek in my opinion. Dyson an overpriced piece of lousy technology. If you got a Dyson, chuck it..... What a lemon. My Fantom which happens to be over 18 years old, outperforms the Dyson in a side by side test. And I own both. I use the Fantom while the Dyson gathers dust in the corner...... It does pick up cat litter that is tracked on the floor. You just have to go over it a bit more but that is normal with most uprights..... Litter is heavy......
The machine does not work well. My family has two cats who manage to get cat litter all over the place. When I used the Fantom to vacuum the litter up, I must go over the area multiple times and then it still isn't clean. The reason I stop is that the Fantom shuts off and I have to wait an hour for it to cool down and reset itself. When vacuuming any room, I'm lucky to finish the whole room before it shuts off. (Yes the canister is clean and the hepa filter is clean before I start.) What a waste of money. If I want anything done, I have to pull out my old Electrolux to get the job done. Maybe it's time to get a new Electrolux. (?)

I purchased a Phantom Vac approximately 5 years ago. I had the Vac for less than a few months and it clogged and would not pick up any dirt. I tried cleaning it and it would not work, so I sent it back and received a new vac. The new vac worked for a few months and the same thing happened. I put the vac in a corner and started using a less expensive model that did not work well. Recently, a friend came by and worked on cleaning the Phantom Vac because the less expensive model that I purchased stopped working after approximately 3 years or so. My friend was able to get the Phantom working again and I cleaned with it just two times and the unit completely shut down and now, I can't even get it to turn on and off. The Phantom was not worth the $240 I paid for it. The vac was nothing but a waste of money.
I only purchased the model because I thought it would save me money, due to not having to buy vac bags, but it turned out to be a horrible investment because I had to buy a less expensive vac and still had to purchase vac bags. I wasted $240 and a tune of time and energy trying to get the Phantom to do the job I expected it to do.
Roughly 3 years ago i purchased a Fantom vaccum cleaner off of the HSN and a year after use the cord caught on fire. I reported it to the company and after arguing with the sales rep they replaced my vaccum with a smaller cheaper model but i was ok with it seeing as i really needed a vaccum that worked. It has been a year and just yesterday the cord on the newer vaccum caught on fire and almost burnt my husband foot.
I cannot find any contact information and was told that the company was out of business- what can i do? This is a defect in the product and i feel as it should be replaced- again.
Again I am out of a vaccum with a hosehold containing 3 messy children and the ignition from the electrical cord almost burnt my husband foot- this is unsafe.
I called to complain that when I try to use the power nozzle on the vacuum the body of the vacuum where the plug for the power nozzle goes in gets real hot and the whole machinr shuts off. I told him that I know that it is in the machine where the plug is as I am using the power nozzle on my old Electrolux machine as the one for my Electrolux machine was not working and this one had the same connections so I tried to see if it would work on my electrolux and it does. I asked him where I could bring the machine to get it fixed and he said that I had to send it back to Plattsburg in the same super large box it came in along with all the attachments and a cheque for $16.95 USD and they will try to fix it or they will send me a new one but I had to pay for the shipping to get it back as well. All I wanted was a place to take it to get fixed not have to spend the price of a new one to send it to them to get fixed or replaced.
I purchsed the Fantom at the end of June, for about three weeks the vacuum worked okay. Then i have had all kinds of problems with hair stopping the brushes from rotating, it has completely stopped sucking, i can't even get cracker crumbs off the floor. In the beginning of September i sent an e-mail to HSN and they provided me the contact info for Fantom. The guy told me that i would have to pay for shipping there and back. Are these people crazy!?!?
they also said it would take approx. 4 weeks to repair. what the heck am i going to use in the meantime?? i've dished out over $200 for this machine and now i have to spend another $60 to get it repaired? That is ridiculous. i will never buy from HSN nor From any unknow location.. customer service sucks!
I purchased a Fantom Stick Vac from K-Mart in September or October of 2005. Because of work being done on the house I needed a new filter in late November according to the light on the vacuum. I was unable to find a store in my area that sold the filters for that vacuum (one company said they were told they could not sell the Fantom filters unless they sold the Fantom product line) so I went to the internet and found the company's website. I wasn't sure how long the filter would last so I went ahead and ordered two filters on 12/6/05.
On 12/27/05 my card was debited for the order. Here's what's happening/not happening so far: 12/6/05: ordered two filters 1/19/06: I emailed fantom to find out where the filters were and when I could expect them. 1/20/06: they replied by email (I kept it) saying the order went out on December 23rd and since I hadn't received it they would reship it as soon as possible.
1/21/06: I could not reply to the address on the email and had to go back to the fantom website to verify my address and out when I could expect the filters to arrive. 1/25/06: they replied by email (I kept it) saying that my parts were on backorder but a shipment was expected to arrive January 29th and as soon as they came in they would be shipped immediately.
2/1/06: I emailed them to again to ask when I could expect the filters. 2/2/06: They replied saying the order had been sent out January 31st and that it should arrive shortly. 2/6/06: I emailed them saying I was no longer patient and wanted them to send the filters to me by express order. 2/10/06: I emailed them requesting my money back. There is no address or phone number on the website - how do I get it? My next problem is that I STILL need the filter; any idea where I can get them?
I purchase the Fantom Cannister Vacuum, order number on 12/30/2004 from HSN. i USED THE VACUUM APPROXIMATELY three times since I was away from home often in 2005. When I called the service no. 1-800-275-9251 listed on the brochure that accompanied the vacuum the service was very poor and I was disconnected (on their end) and after many phone calls was able to speak with someone.
They said one thing and eventually changed that...with no apology...and said I would have to send the entire vacuum to their address in New York state. This creates a great problem for me as I am disabled and have no means of transportation. I spoke with a local repairman that said that Fantom has declared bankruptsy and it has the poorest rating of any vacuum on the market. After some time he said, I should know, as I used to be their repairman in this area. My complaint, how could a company with HSN's reputation sell a product that was so poorly rated and all the time promoting it's superios qualities. I have always had a high regard for HSN but no longer.
I sent my powerhead for repair on December 18, 2004. It was under warranty. I have not gotten it back and repeated emails have gone unanswered. I sent it by DHL and received a notice that the package I sent it in had been delivered. The powerhead was broken when I received the vacuum and I have never used the vacuum.
Many years ago I purchased a Fantom Vacuum from a company HSN. The Vacuum had a 3 year warranty that came with it. When I had a problem with my vacuum, I learned that you were no longer in business and filed bankruptcy. Today I see that you are now up an running the Fantom Vacuums once again on what is called the Americasstore.com-HSN.com(Feb. 28-04). I no longer have my vacuum since it was going to cost me 153.17 to replace the motor and parts. I feel that you at Fantom should honor the warranty that I had on my vacuum.
After trying to contact your company while under warranty, and since you were filing bankruptcy should have notified the owners of your products that your company was having problems is a sneaky thing to do to the consumers. I purchased it when I lived in West Los Angeles on Federal Ave. I hope your company does the right thing and honor my warranty and replace my Vacuum. After trying to contact you and finding out that your number was out of order/business. How was able to use my 3 yr. warranty that you came with the purchase of my Vacuum.
I lost $237.00 and had only 8 mths usage of the vacuum. The comapny ripped me off.
Brought the vaccum and one of the wheels fell off. The vaccum is only 4 months old.
I pyrchased the fantom vaccum 2-3 years ago and took it in to be service last year and found out that fantom had files bankruptcy and they would not service it. It was still under warranty and found out that my warranty was not any good since fantom filed bankruptcy.Now I have this fantom vaccum cleaner sitting in a corner that I can use and it really makes me mad I spent over $200. for a vaccum that is now collecting dust.I called fantom so many times and could never get through to them.All we had heard it how great this product was,but it was all a lie!
I Bought a Fantom Thunder Vacume about 1.5 yrs ago. Every piece imaginable has broken off it. From the HEPA filter to the attachment stands. I am ****** beyond belief that a company can sell such a poor product and get away with it. (In real life people don't vacume over confetti, like the comercials showed.) I would like my vacume fixed or replaced...but the company went under. I think there should be some class action againts Euro Corp (company that bought Fantom).
I purchased a Fantom Cyclone XT Vacuum from Best Buy a little over a year ago. The main reason I purchased it was the warranty. I did not purchase any extended warranty from BestBuy because of the excellent warranty offered by Fantom. Soon after Fantom went out of business and the vacuum stopped working. No repair shop will look at it because of the availibility of parts. With-out the warranty, or service of any kind the vacuum is worthless.
BestBuy has always reverted back to my not purchasing thier extended warranty and they will not assist me in any way. The Fantom company no longer has either a telephone number or web site that would allow me to contact them. Someone should be liable for a broken product under warranty, either the manufacturer or the retailer.
I purchased a Fantom Cyclone home vacuum cleaner from Best Buy in January 2001.The vacuum comes with a manufacturers two year warranty.My vacuum is in need of repair and I have not been able to contact the Fantom company for several weeks. I was told by a representative at the customer service department in Best Buy that Fantom went out of business. I was also told that another company would honor Fantoms warranty and I should contact your office for information. I would appriciate your help in this matter.
The cost of the vacuum was $248.93 and without repair it is useless and has to be thrown out. I think for the amount of money I paid for the vacuum it should last longer than 14 months.
I purchased a Fantom Wildcat from WalMart. After 4 months it broke and I descovered the warranty problem Fantom was having. Fantom is honoring warranty claims if purchased directly from them. They are not out of business. The reply to my email stated that the company is being purchased by another company. Going bankrupt would stop all warrantys. If the company is bankrupt then why is it selling products and covering the warranty on certain items?
I purchased a Fantom Cyclone vacuum cleaner. Since it was under warranty and needed repair, I called Fantom approximately 3 weeks ago and they gave me the address of an authorized dealer that handles their products under warranty and also provided me with a customer number. When I went to pick up my vacuum, I was told that Fantom was not paying their bills and that I would have to pay for the repairs.
I have tried calling their 800 number over the last two weeks and they state that they can be reached online, but that their office is closed until further notice. I have emailed them twice and they do not respond. I just spoke to the dealer this morning and they also have tried them by phone and online and cannot reach them. I do not want to have to pay $70 for a product that is under warranty and the dealer will not release it until they receive payment.

Armstrong settles $3 million lawsuit over bonuses
(Reuters) - Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has reached a settlement with an insurance company over $3 million in performance bonuses paid to him from 1999 to 2001, his spokesman said on Wednesday.
Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance had sued Armstrong and his former team's management company after the American cyclist was handed a life ban and stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles following a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigation.
Armstrong confessed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in January that he used performance-enhancing drugs to cheat his way to the Tour de France wins.
The Acceptance Insurance lawsuit, filed in Austin, Texas, said his lies had voided his policy with the insurance company.
"It has been settled," Armstrong spokesman Mark Higgins told Reuters via email without disclosing any further details.
The settlement came just one day before Armstrong, 42, was scheduled to give sworn testimony in court in the case.
Armstrong and his business partners still face a federal lawsuit over charges of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service of endorsement money through Armstrong's use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Former Armstrong team mate Floyd Landis brought the suit in 2010 under a federal law that allows whistleblowers to report fraud committed against the government in exchange for a reward.
The U.S. Justice Department joined the suit in February, seeking to recover at least some of the $40 million the Postal Service paid from 1998 to 2004 to have Armstrong and his team mates from Tailwind Sports wear its logo during cycling wins. Continued...

The day's wedding theme takes many shapes at the after-party in Hyde Park, from bride and groom outfits to a bellicose crowd urging strangers to show their stuff during an impromptu walk down the aisle - actually just a dirt path dividing two swatches of lawn.
Here's a lady with a lab treating the strip like a fashion runway; next a couple in backpacks and flip-flops skipping down the lane. A guy whose hands are loaded with beers makes the walk to shouts of "Chug, chug, chug" (he smiles, but doesn't).
Happily pressured by chants of "Walk, walk, walk!" are pals Sam Locke, 32, and Mike Street, 33. They look at each other, lock arms, then sashay down the road.
Midway, Street bends his friend backwards for a hammed-up kiss, to the delight of the crowd. "A huge group of us was going to come here to party, but many of our friends panicked because they were worried about the weather," says Locke. "But we're hardcore. We have food, we have wine, and if it does rain we don't care. We are in the mood to celebrate."
