Ever since we found out that we're having a boy, my husband and I have had a few name battles. I would LOVE to pick a name and have a peaceful pregnancy from here on out! I am due Jan 25. We have a daughter, first name Arden, middle name Grace, who is 3. It was so easy with her, we picked Arden years before we were even engaged, married, pregnant...it was a done deal. Now, it seems so difficult to find a good boy name! We would love a name that sounds nice with Arden. It would be too much, though, to choose a name that ends in "den". Our last name is like Tempulltin, so it would be better to avoid suffixes of "ton" and "son".
My daughter names all of her babies Noah since she could talk (and they're all girls, so cute!). We like that name, it's a contender but not our fave. We had picked Finn as a boy name the first time around, and considered Griffin, with a nickname of Finn, but ever since Glee, it seems like it might get to be overused. We don't love it like we once did. Other names I have considered are Evan, Cooper, Hudson. Hubby has vetoed all of those. On his list, in no particular order, were Lane, Trey, Cormac, Levi, Lee, Bo and Abram. I don't like ANY of those names. I went through old family archives on Ancestry.com and found some family names: Boden, Conrad, Grayson, Kern, Ezra, Salvatore. The only one of these that hubby liked was Ezra, and I am just not that crazy about Ezra. Then I came up with Emmett, and really like it. Hubby is "thinking about it". Something with the "feel" of Arden.... but for a boy.... would be PERFECT!!
I am just at a loss-- we both are.
If Emmett is "almost but not quite," other possibilities are Elliot and Everett. I especially like Everett with Arden: Everett Tempulltin, Arden and Everett.
If you like Evan, I wonder if you'd like Ian. Ian Tempulltin, Arden and Ian. That's a little hard to say, but I still think they go well together. I think part of the problem is merely that "Arden and" is a little hard to say no matter what.
Ezra IS really good with your surname and with the sibling name. One thing I particularly like about it is that I think of it as "the new Noah": a name that went from almost-unused-biblical to mainstream. Ezra Tempulltin is a pretty hip name. Arden and Ezra is wonderful. And I am very fond of family names.
Wyatt is another possibility: it is sort of like Ezra and Levi and Lee and Bo, but also sort of like Emmett.
I wonder if you'd like the name Redford? Redford Tempulltin, Arden and Redford.
Or Harris: Harris Tempulltin, Arden and Harris.
Or Ruben: Ruben Tempulltin, Arden and Ruben.
Or Silas: Silas Tempulltin, Arden and Silas.
Or Lucas, potential nickname Luke: Lucas Tempulltin, Arden and Lucas.
Or Joss: Joss Tempulltin, Arden and Joss.
Or Isaac, potential nicknames Zac and Ike: Isaac Tempulltin, Arden and Isaac.
Name update! Kelly writes:
Thank you for your help! We went with Noah Hudson. He's a doll!

SPARKS — A blaze that most likely started in the kitchen of a home at 1959 Alpland Court was quickly contained, leaving an older two-story home with only a burned-out kitchen and smoke damage.
"We were able to contain the fire the the kitchen" said Batallian Chief Barry Hagan. "It was a very effective operation."
The resident and her friends who were helping her move into the home that day — a house that had sat unoccupied for more than 18 months — had just driven away with the U-Haul and were returning with more boxes when they discovered their new home was engulfed in flames.
When they pulled into the driveway, flames were shooting from the back of the house, said neighbor Shirley Stenernegel.
"I just could see the smoke billowing out," Stenernegel said, as she stood in her driveway and watched firemen mop up following the fire attack. "I guess it's pretty extensive."
Neighbors called emergency dispatch once they saw the flames, Hagan said. A fire engine with a three-person crew from Station 2 responded a 5:59 p.m. — three minutes after the 9-1-1 call. Federal regulations restrict three-man crews from entering the home, but the crew was able to size up the situation from outside the structure and begin "pouring water on the fire to knock it down," Hagan said. "We started a quick transitional (defensive) attack."
Once the second crew arrived two minutes after, firefighters could enter the home and begin attacking the blaze from the inside, Hagan said. Fire crews also were able to determine that no one was inside the home. No one was injured in the incident.
"There was no explosion or other major damage," he said.
In all, 19 first responders arrived on scene, including four engines, one fire truck, a safety officer and battalion chief.
"The heaviest damage occurred in the kitchen area," Hagan said.
The fire appears to have started in the kitchen, however, the investigation is ongoing and will take some time to figure out exactly what started the fire, Hagan said.
The young woman who decided to move in Friday won't be able to spend the night at the home because of the extensive damage to the kitchen and smoke damage throughout the house.
"They were just moving in today — Friday the 13th!" said neighbor Sonny Medina, who watched the scene from across the street with his wife Pat and neighbor Melissa Brown.
Medina said the house had been listed for sale and unoccupied for a year and a half. The Medinas, 25-year residents of the home that is situated in a cul-de-sac, didn't realize they had a new neighbor until they saw NV Energy crews turning on power to the home Friday morning.
The quiet neighborhood is made up of mostly seniors in their 60s and 70s who watch out for each other, he said.
"One fireman told us it was probably a breaker," Median said.
"It's sad," he said. "The day they moved in."

January 2, 2013
Rep. Robert Hurt, from the Virginia 5th District, joined 150 other Republicans in the House by voting against the "fiscal cliff" deal Tuesday night.
Hurt says he could not support the bill because it did not have any significant spending cuts.
"I would have supported sending the bill back with spending cuts," said Hurt.
That action would have sent the amended bill back to the Senate. Hurt says, since the "fiscal cliff" deadline had already passed, it would have been worth waiting a little longer to see if a better deal could be reached.
"I believe that this is pretty doggone important," said Hurt. "We owe it to the American people to get this right, not just to rush to agree to something."
Hurt places most of the blame for the last-minute rush on the Senate and the White House. He says the House presented a proposal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" months ago, but the Senate never responded.
Hurt and other Republicans will get several opportunities in the coming weeks to try to pass spending cuts. The new Congress will work on a new budget, and in February, they will debate whether or not to raise the debt ceiling again.
Hurt says, if Congress does not pass serious deficit-reducing legislation before the debt ceiling deadline, it will be even worse than missing the "fiscal cliff" deadline.
Hurt was far from the only member of the Virginia delegation to vote against the deal. In fact, only one of Virginia's 11 representatives voted in favor of it.
Here's how every member of Congress from Virginia voted:
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D)
Sen. Jim Webb (D)
Sen. Mark Warner (D)
Rep. Robert Wittman (R)
Rep. Scott Rigell (R)
Rep. Robert Scott (D)
Rep. Randy Forbes (R)
Rep. Robert Hurt (R)
Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R)
Rep. James Moran (D)
Rep. Morgan Griffith (R)
Rep. Frank Wolf (R)
A previous version of this story incorrectly indicated Rep. Hurt did not support the bill because there weren't spending cuts for Social Security or Medicare. Hurt did call for reforms to those two programs, but did not specifically call for spending cuts. We regret the error.

Comments about Furnace Vent Extender:
I don't know why other reviewers like this so much. My experience is that it barely diverts any heat out from under my couch. I feel the air needs a gradually lower to bigger opening. I used an aluminum cookie tray to start the air diversion. Then a paint tray is trimmed and taped onto the end of that. Now I have a good amount of warm air coming out from under my couch.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Finally have heat!

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
I really did my homework on this one!This was the CHEAPEST price around for this item.I checked no less then 15 other places for this.I live in an older home with 1 heat vent in my bedroom.The ONLY place to put a dresser is ,you guessed it,right in front of the heat vent.This gadget let me put my dresser where it belongs and still use the vent.PROBLEM SOLVED for under $11!
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend
I would buy this product again.
By Sue
from Ton,NY
We had to do something about heat not being able to warm our family room becaosr there was only one place we could put our large sectional & that was in front of the heat vent. We tried other things that did not work well! This fits perfect,is long enough & carries heat out exactly like we were hoping! The only bad part-it came cracked, but we realy needed it now!, so we duck taped it together-perfect!
Good product.
By Chris
from Deptford, NJ
Good for vents blocked by furniture. Now the heat comes out from under the furniture. The house is warmer. Only problem is the width.
By Elisa
from Ohio
A little flimsy but works especially well where curtains cover vents.
By Jackpot
from Owensboro, KY
I needed this for my living room vent. It's a tad too short to cover the vent totally, but that's ok. I'll cover the excess with something else. That's the only reason I gave it four stars. The vent has been in place for a few weeks now and does exactly what I expected of it. I've no complaints and would buy another one if I had need of it.
I received trash
By ak
from philadelphia
The only thing I received in the box was some plastic trash, which I guess is the clamshell case for the vent extender. It can't be the vent extender itself, because it's flimsier than the clamshell cases that you cut into when you get something new! I thought I was buying the awesome acrylic vent director that I have over my 1920's vent.

It allows us to re-arrange furniture during the winter/holidays.
just as advertised
By Shai
from Ft. Thomas, KY
Good value for purpose, exactly as appears in ad & pic. It's not wide enough for the vent I needed it for (my vent is unusually wider than average) so this shouldn't be a problem for most other users. I was still able to use effectively by doing a little improvising with a strip of the same color of vent duct tape to cover 2 inches of the vent service to meet the vent extender at its width stopping any air from coming out those 2 inches thus forcing out all air from the exact width of extender needed to be truly effective. My vent is also underneath & behind a piece of furniture so I don't mind so much the duct tape & it actually does not look bad at all bc the tape is same color as vent & blends in nicely. You really cant tell its duct tape & its serves the desired purpose to save energy & divert air in more effective areas. Glad I was able to still use & I would purchase again if needed.
Works pretty good but needs to stay put
By SusieQ
from Church Hill, TN
I needed something to divert the hot/cold air away from my bird cages. This works just fine. I wish it had been similar to the one I already had so that they fit together if it needed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to divert air. I also think they need something to keep them in place if they get kicked by foot traffic.

Personal Shoppers Help Harried Executives Fill Out Their Wardrobes
Kimberly Cihlar
From the Print Edition:
Bo Derek, Jul/Aug 00
Clammy palms clutch a Dunhill briefcase handle in one hand; in the other, a silver Nokia cellular rings incessantly. A vague, unpleasant tingling gnaws at your abdomen. Then, audible grinding of the back molars and, suddenly, a spastic tic in the left eye. It's been a day fraught with angst--power breakfasts, damage-control lunches, strategic-planning coffee breaks--then, on top of it all, the boss has suggested you update your wardrobe.
You take a deep breath, head toward a daunting temple of menswear and wonder if you should start at ground level with shirts and ties or maneuver up a few levels to the suits that hang like exhibits in an avant-garde art gallery. Perhaps, you think dizzily, you'd do better to step over to the shoe department. At least, you know how to tell whether brogues fit or not. Through the sweat and the fret, you have a lucent thought: Need I dread shopping like a trip to the dentist?
Not if you use a personal shopper. Personal shoppers take you where you need to go fashionably speaking, without your literally having to go along. Personal shoppers are lifestyle choices for men who either can't, won't or don't have time to make purchases in person. Many men have traditionally relied on wives or girlfriends to perform this service on a purely amateur basis, but a point comes when it's time to step up to professional help. Personal shoppers, or image consultants, can go several steps beyond the woman in your life, acting as a kind of new-age valet.
While animation designer Robert Kopecky understands the intricacies of bringing figures to life on screen, when it comes to putting ooomph in his wardrobe, he turns to a personal shopper "because she knows what's great stylistically, where to go to get it at a great price, and what will make me feel and look the best I can. I trust her. Ninety-nine percent of the time, when I put on something she's bought for me, I feel great in it and know it's right for me."
For some clients, image isn't only important, it is everything. Those are the show business person-alities and other celebrities who are expected to be impeccably turned out whenever the cameras are on them. Personal shoppers tend to be just one step away from those stylists to the stars who scout for and dress actors to ready them for their Oscar or Grammy close-ups. In these cases, the shoppers tend to be the unsung heroes. Even while designers bask in the credit for swathing actresses, personal shoppers usually keep mum about the male stars they have helped dress.
Whether personal shoppers are charged with making you an international fashion plate or just spiffing up your corporate image, it is their purview to suss out treacherous clothing terrain and protect you from poor fashion risks. Indeed, men's fashion real estate, which can involve myriad departments and multiple floors, can be a daunting shopping challenge. Personal shoppers do the walking, picking, purchasing and even credit card signing. They pull everything together for you, from suits through the all accoutrements.
The services typically don't end at the threshold of the store where the clothing comes from. Peter Elliott, owner of his eponymous men's boutique in New York City, says he goes "into people's homes to rearrange closets, to suggest they get buttons on this, or get that steam pressed. We tell them how to do things, how to salvage their clothes."
In addition, Elliott's offers a 24-hour emergency phone service for clothing crises--saving grace when airlines "misplace" luggage. "Late one night I got this panicked call from a guy who'd just flown in from Texas and had an early-morning meeting. He came in and picked out two suits," recalls Elliott. "I used double-stick tape on the pant legs of one to create a temporary hem. I had to fine-tune that business, though, after a call from some guy wailing about lipstick on his collar. I told him, 'If you made your bed, sleep in it,' or something to that effect. We don't do that kind of stuff."
When it is on the level, though, personal shoppers go to great lengths to accommodate clients. Color blind? Sartorially challenged? Unsure of the dress code in a new job? Putting his trust in capable fashion insider Lila Frodesen (who now happens to be his wife) has kept Terry Davidson, director of the Leo Kaplan Modern Glass Gallery, in tasteful threads. "As an artistic person who has to work within the corporate Madison Avenue arena and dress the part, Terry has had to have clothing that portrays his personality, but also is sophisticated and traditional enough to fit into an uptown business clientele," notes Frodesen.
Often paid a commission based on total purchase, personal shoppers go the extra mile for their clients to seal a deal. Clients often recite stories of their personal shopper coming through in the clutch. One client was seeking a sold-out wool coat from a store catalogue in vain until his personal shopper, who works at a rival, "tracked down and bought the shearling coat I fell in love with--from another store!" Personal shoppers strive to make dressing in the morning as painless as possible. Dan Samson, Barneys' men's personal shopper, codes his clients' purchases on a color-coordinated "cheat-sheet" chart. Some personal shoppers travel seasonally to provide up-to-date fashion knowledge gleaned from international designer fashion shows.

Now the home of Victory Garden Theater, the Biograph Theater is a must-see spot for gangster buffs. In the early 1930s, bank robber John Dillinger took some of the heat off Al Capone when he was named Public Enemy No. 1. Wanted by the FBI for more than two dozen daring Depression-era bank heists and two jail escapes, Dillinger went to Chicago for ... More
Just across the street from the Biograph Theater, the Red Lion Pub was a popular place for a nightcap. Among the satisfied customers was Al Capone. The building dates to 1882. Unfortunately, the restaurant was recently closed.

Looking at this quiet green space, you'll need to use your imagination as to what once stood and happened here. In 1929 this spot was occupied by a dingy garage—an unlikely site for one of Chicago's most infamous crimes.

Holy Name Cathedral gets a lot of attention because the bullet holes from a famous gangster shoot-out are still gaping in the walls (look for them in the cornerstone). The target of the shooting, Earl "Hymie" Weiss, was rumored to be on his way to meet fellow North Side gang members to discuss how to avenge the death of boss Dean "... More
Imagine it's the Roaring '20s and you are the most powerful man in Chicago. Where would you live? In one of the city's most glamorous hotels, of course. As a family man, Capone lived with his wife, Mae, and son, Albert (known as Sonny), in a cozy house on south Prairie Avenue where he cooked Sunday dinners and entertained the family. But most of...

When Al Capone arrived in Chicago, Big Jim Colosimo ruled the South Side. He signed Al on, sending him down the street to the Four Deuces (2222 S. Wabash), where Al used his considerable charm to lure customers in for a drink. He'd then "encourage" them to stay for gambling and other activities. The center of Colosimo's operations was... More
Union Station is the rail hub for Amtrak and Metra trains, always a busy and bustling place.

Back in January 1920 the 18th Amendment enacted Prohibition, which made it illegal to sell alcohol. But that didn't stop thirsty customers from buying it.

Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery is the final—if not the first—resting place of the most notorious of Chicago gangsters, Al Capone. Located just outside Chicago in west suburban Hillside off Interstate 290, the cemetery is also the burial place for Capone's brother, Ralph "Bottles" Capone, Jake Lingle, the Chicago Tribune crimer reporter...

Opened in 1922, Klas is the largest Czech restaurant in the United States, known for its Old World decor (amazing), generous portions of home-cooked food and its link to Al Capone. Capone had headquarters in Cicero, and when he was out that way, he frequented Klas, enjoying a hearty meal and, no doubt, a cool Czech beer. According to accounts,... More
Al Capone was a fan of good entertainment and a safe place to hide out. The Green Mill, a jazz club, offered both. Capone had a favorite booth where he could meet with his crew and still keep an eye on the doors.
The club still operates, offering terrific live jazz as well as the popular Uptown Poetry Slam.

Site specific art, artists and art
(style, 1970's)
Site-specific art is artwork created to exist in a certain place. Typically, the artist takes the location into account while planning and creating the artwork. Outdoor site-specific artworks often include landscaping combined with permanently sited sculptural elements (the movement is linked with Environmental art). Indoor site-specific artworks may be created in conjunction with (or indeed by) the architects of the building. More broadly, the term is sometimes used for any work that is (more or less) permanently attached to a particular location. In this sense, a building with interesting architecture could be considered a piece of site-specific art. Artists producing site-specific works include Robert Smithson, Andy Goldsworthy, Christo, Richard Serra, Yumi Kori, Brandon LaBelle, Guillaume Bijl, Christian Bernard Singer, Betty Beaumont and younger artists like Mark Divo, John K. Melvin, Lennie Lee, Luna Nera, Wrights & Sites, Sarah Sze, Seth Wulsin, Ben Cummins and Simparch.

Press reviews
New-wave red with mulberry-scented fruit, a touch of spice and a focus on deft fruit rather than fat alcohol. Bravo!
Olly Smith, Mail on Sunday , 2nd January 2013
This is made by a Hunter stalwart, Tyrell's -one of Australia's oldest and best wineries. It is a far cry from the beefy style of old-school Aussie shiraz. A svelte 13%, it delivers pepper, raspberry and what I call 'Hunter earth', a rustic (in a good sense) element that adds complexity. Refreshing and drinkable, it is ideal for sausages
Hamish Anderson, Daily Telegraph , 2nd January 2013
A glossy, warming, three-dimensional red is the ideal choice for Rachel's casserole. These are qualities that well-made Australian shiraz will deliver in spades and that will enhance the enjoyment of almost any hearty winter fare
Giles Kime, Sunday Telegraph , 2nd January 2013

But Larry said he wants to discourage that behavior in his beagle, so he brings Derek to a puppy training class on Sundays to encourage the young man to stop Rusco's biting and jumping and to take better care of him.
"I have one son living at home still, but it doesn't mean he can't be trained," Machado said. "Kids that age tend to be rough with (pets) and being rough and being inconsistent really sends mixed messages to the pet. … Even at 18, he's learning a lot to train pets and make them calm and well-behaved."
According to the Machados' trainer, Pamela Wangsness, everyone in the family can find some way to be responsible for a pet.
Wangsness, also known as PJ, is a certified professional dog trainer who runs her own business, Dog Training by PJ. She frequently holds puppy or kitten training classes in which children, mostly about 7- to 10-year-olds, are encouraged to attend with their parents and learn how to care for their pet.
Wangsness said the first step to considering a pet for the family is to think about whether the child or children in the home are ready for an animal to care for and live with on a longterm basis. If a parent wants to help prepare the child before bringing a dog or a cat home, she recommends trying out the child's skills outside the home.
"Often times, we think it's going to be an easy task when you decide whether to adopt a shelter dog or puppy dog," she said. "If they want to be with pets, then have them volunteer at any of the local shelters as long as there's parental supervision. So time is really the first thing to consider either in adopting a dog or a cat."
Assigning simple tasks also allows the child to feel they have a part in taking care of a pet, Wangsness said. However, she added that parents ultimately must learn an important truth.
"Depending on the child's age, there are certainly responsibilities that you can let a particular age of child do," she said. "Often it's feeding, taking the dog out to potty, cleaning up after them … but ultimately, it still is the parent's job to take care of it."
Adults should ensure that the end result is giving a child confidence by being involved in one or two aspects of pet care, Wangsness said.
Playing games with the dog can be healthy for both child and dog, but supervision is also required of the parent.
"I think as long as the child can take direction (they can be ready to care for a pet), but it depends on the dog as well," Wangness said.
Larry said Rusco has been a "terrorist" to his older dog, Sarah, a mixed beagle and Border collie, because she wants to wrestle. To help Derek train Rusco better and help Rusco respect Sarah, the family will continue to go to the dog training classes.
"Much to (Derek's) dismay, we made him (go to the training)," Larry said. "But he's really enjoying it. We've only been twice, but the changes in the puppy are quite obvious."
Wangnsness said it's also important to ensure that the pet understands who's really in charge. Some parents sit back and monitor their children as a professional trainer works with them, but parent involvement is part of establishing a proper relationship of authority with the dog, she said.
Larry agreed.
"It's kind of being a parent from the seat of your pants," he said. "You're never too old to learn."
Wangsness also ensures children know how to approach an animal and how the animal should respond to a human so as to help with bite or injury prevention.
Kids must learn how not to get too excited and mishandle a dog, Wangsness said, while parents of very young toddlers often need to be reminded to refrain children from hugging, poking or generally annoying an animal, especially a dog.
"If it's a dog, it's usually jumping on the children," Wangsness said of teaching the pet to behave properly. "If it's a puppy, it's mouthing the children. One of the things I always remind parents is that it's perfectly normal puppy or dog behavior and we're just giving the children enough ability to help teach the dog. It's a lot of management on the adult's part."
Leaving pets alone while they're sleeping or eating and giving them space is part of teaching a child when to leave an animal alone.
Likewise, teaching the animal to live peacefully among children falls on the parent's shoulders, she added.
"I'm working with a family that has a 3-year-old toddler and they have a baby arriving in the next couple of months," Wangsness said. "They've done a good job of teaching their adult dog to be with their toddler, but now they're worried about a baby coming on board, so we've worked to desensitize the dog to baby smells and noises. They feel comfortable with the dog and toddler, but we've reminded them that they should never, ever be left alone."
Currently, Wangness is teaching a Sunday morning puppy training class that began on March 14, but she also offers other times during the week for animal socialization. She said she always provides written materials for families to read and become well-acquainted with the concepts she teaches in her classes.
For more information, visit www.dogtrainingbypj.com. Wangsness said she can also be found on Facebook if community members have questions or issues they would like to ask her about.

"I purchased a S50-ABDX laptop in sept 2013. When I got home and tried to start it up it did nothing. Called Toshiba they told me to return it and get another one, the mother board wasn't working properly. 4 months later same thing happens, send it to Toshiba to be repaired under warranty. 3 weeks go by and I call them and they tell me that the mother board is defective (again) and that they will only receive the part in 3 weeks. Not happy. 3 weeks go by no computer and no call backs. I left 3 messages to the "supervisor" in charge. I think all the cust service people are "supervisors". Now after talking to 3 different people I find out they have ordered another part and it will be march 10th when they receive the part. They will have my laptop for at least 61 days now. I ask the rep for an email or phone # of a manager in cust support. His answer "I can't get in touch with them right now" "I don't have there email or phone #" All I said was that was the most incompetent answer I have ever herd. For sure this is THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE that I have had to deal with.....EVER. And I still don't have my laptop, they say that someone will call me in 3 days."
"I recently bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite C55 and it was my worst purchase ever. The Wifi conection could not be slower. I've looked up in some forums and it seems to be a common problem for Toshiba users... in my case I tried everything but it still doesn't work. Plus, the mousepad stopped working after a couple of weeks. Finally, the customer support did not give me any answer. Toshiba, never again."
"I owned a Toshiba laptop for 10 years and it always was reliable. Never got sluggish like some of the other manufacturers models did. Also, my mother is the president of a fairly large computer club and has been for many years so when I decided to purchase a new laptop I asked her advise. She hears all he complaints. She recommended Toshiba because from her experience and the experience of her users they have had very little trouble with them and it is a much more open ended system then HP or Dell. She told me to NOT to buy HP because her users have had nothing but problems with them and having to send them back to the manufacturer to get them fixed and they come back not fixed. Many of users own HP's because of their price point. The Toshiba laptop I was looking at to purchase was exactly what I needed with the CPU power, hard drive space and memory. It was a line that they were discontinuing which was information I received from her husband after he researched it further for me and the price point was very good for the specifications. They stated that I would receive it in about 3 to 5 days and I received the laptop in 4 days. Here's the best part ~ I have had it for a few months and it is performing beautifully. I could not be happier. "
"I bought a Toshiba Satellite L875 and it crashed completely. It never worked properly. They refused to replace it and instead charged me $25 to ship it back to them for "possible" repair. Their customer service department is unprofessional and rude. They care nothing about quality. I will never buy another thing from them. "
"Bought a Toshiba satellite 550 laptop just over 2 years ago and the motherboard completely failed. Even after having it replaced it still did not work! Toshiba would do nothing...hid behind the fact that the warranty had expired. After owning many computers and brands over the years ....Toshiba is junk!! Their attitude is arrogance!! Buy a Gateway or Dell or anything but a Toshiba. Even filed a complaint with the BBB and they will still do nothing. Every other company has tried to work with me if there was an issue with their product...not Toshiba. What a sad commentary on this company."
"What I purchased - I was one that pre-ordered the Thrive 10 inch tablet.
Good - I have really found the full sized port useful from time to time. Specifically the USB and HDMI.
Bad - I am however unhappy with Toshiba's commitment to Android. They don't communicate with consumers about updates even if the hardware is capable of running it & the updates they have done always have issues. There are also some design issues of the hardware as well. The placement of the SD card makes it so if you bump it wrong you can loose the SD card. I have lost one. The AC adapter has issues. The plug easily breaks off leaving a piece in the tablet & requires you to purchase a new adapter. All of this makes me question Toshiba's ability to produce quality product & shows me they aren't committed to the products they produce."
"I purchased a $1K laptop from them. It was poorly constructed; one of the end pieces was attached crooked and you could see the inside of the computer through the gap! Unbelievably shoddy workmanship.
When I contacted customer service, they were quite rude. Apparently, my options are 1) I can return it and 2) I can return it and buy another one (And that will take ANOTHER 3-6 weeks). Wow - thanks for the help! [Don't bother asking for a supervisor, the same lady got back on the phone with me claiming she was a supervisor. I guess they think only idiots would buy their product in the first place.] NEVER AGAIN"
"this is my last toshiba..shift keys are sticky, making capitalization difficult. And nnow the cooling fan is taking breaks. It's under warranty, but it has to be sent in...and gone for approximately 2 weeks!!! And i have to pay for shipping. I think the shipping is more than the cost of the repair. For a fan! There is no local place authorized to do the repair."
"Toshiba had to replace my hardrive within 3 months of purchase then within 40 days of getting it back the hard drive went again. They reopened the first repair order due to the error code I was providing but when they recieved the laptop they stated that the sensor under the cap lock key changed color indicating water MAY have hit the key. Could not determine if it was damaged but wanted $175.00 to replace keyboard before ANY warranty work would be done. Key worked before it left my home because I spent 3 days on the phone with tech support running recovery scans.. in my opinion they are simply trying to get back some of the costs for all the warranty work they have to do because they are making defective products. Funny how they were able to find the one key on the keyboard that the sensor went off on... and seems funny to me since the keyboard worked perfect before leaving my home."
"Bought a Satellite C650 just over 2 months ago. It worked fine for 6 weeks and now needs to go for repairs. I was just informed that I have to pay not only the shipping to the depot but also the return shipping and that there is no one who can waive the shipping fee. Seriously???? I just paid hundreds for a piece of junk lemon and I have to pay shipping to make it right???? Obviously this company cares nothing for its customers or providing decent products or making it right when they sell something that doesn't function."
"I purchased a Toshiba 32" IHD LCD television model 32A500U in 2008. In July, 2011, the picture feature failed completely although the audio was functional. I took the unit to a factory authorized repair shop; paid $50 for an evaluation of the problem, and was informed a week later that it would cost $300 to make the repairs. As this is almost the cost of a new tv, I declined. I then called and wrote Toshiba requesting some financial assistance in repairing the unit. Their response in all requests was that since the unit was outside their one-year warranty, there was nothing that could be done.
I am now faced with a $300 repair bill or placing the tv out for garbage (which is what it is). It seems completely irresponsible for a manufacturer to produce a product that has a lifetime of three years given the cost of that product.
Being totally disgusted with Toshiba's attitude, I will never purchase another Toshiba product again."
"Toshiba themselves does not care about their customers. I am quite irate about being so ripped off. Their laptop is unreadable due to such a small screen at such a high resolution. Money back guaranty. Right! only 5 days after my purchase, they would not take this piece of junk back. Phone calls get left on hold, emails get ignored, and posts get deleted. They may or may not fix a defective part, but a defective design, their attitude is ha ha we got you."
"I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE C655-S5060 for my son in Dec 2010. Within 4 months, the Hard drive crashed and now they want us to pay shipping fee to send it in for repairs UNDER WARRANTY. Don't buy a Toshiba as my other Toshiba has been sent in for warranty repair for the keyboard. Talking to my friends who have had Toshiba laptops, they all tell me that they had problems with their Toshiba's. So much for Japanese technology...I think they are all made in China with crappy worksmanship."
"I brought the Toshiba C655-S5193 laptop recently. In a months laptop hard drive failed and I have to spend another $30 bucks to ship the laptop to Toshiba even though the laptop is covered under warranty and the support website clearly say i don't have to.
I called customer service multiple time and no one could answer why is this and there is no escalation process either.
I small piece of advice for anyone looking to buy a neither buy this Laptop nor buy Toshibha unless you have a lot of money.
I have posted this review on Toshibha and they removed it.
Check HP/DELL or LENOVO Laptops.
"Poor business ethics, poor customer support service.
I placed an online order last Thursday (April 21st) on a Satellite C650D-ST2N03 Laptop
AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Mobile Processor P360, Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), 3GB DDR3 memory, 320GB HDD (5400rpm), ATI® Integrated Graphics PSC16U-069036. It's a pre-built laptop which means, according to their web site (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/ebtext.to?page=laptops-netbooks), that it ships within 1-2 business days. This was very important to me as I had to leave to Europe in 9 days. When I called them on Monday their Customer Service representative told me that Friday did not count as a business days (Good Friday) and it normally takes a-2 business days to process the order. She, however, told me that it is too late to cancel my order and that it will ship by the end of the day (Monday) but it did not. When I called them on Tuesday their Customer Service representative told me that it will ship on Wednesday, April 27th. By the end of the day on Tuesday, however, I received a shipping confirmation email. This email confirmation had missing (blank) tracking number. On Wednesday I tried calling their Customer Service again to request the tracking number but gave up after waiting for ~30 minutes. Then I decided to check the order status online and found out that the package was indeed shipped on Tuesday, 26th. After reading all the negative reviews about Toshiba business practices on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/view/Toshiba/page/1 not sure what to expect next... Very disappointed."

FORTUNE -- Dear Annie: After losing my job in 2011, when my department was eliminated in a restructuring, I decided to go out on my own and do web design and SEO consulting on a freelance basis. It's been great, except for one big problem. Over and over, I do the work, the client is happy with it, everything's cool, but I end up waiting and waiting to get paid -- and, in a couple of cases, have not been paid at all despite repeated, polite reminders.
I've been lucky enough to get most of these gigs through my network of friends, and friends of friends, so I don't want things to get nasty. (For example, I really don't want to take anybody to court.) But I have bills and expenses like everyone else, so the suspense over when, or whether, I'll get paid is making me crazy. Is this a common problem for freelancers, or am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestions? — Broke in Boston
Dear B.B.: I'm sorry to report that your dilemma is not at all unusual. One recent study of self-employed people in New York state, for instance, found that 316,000 of them (about 35%) were paid late at least once during the preceding year, and some 214,000 (14%) did work for one or more clients who never paid them at all. Total lost wages in the Empire State alone, over a 12-month span: More than $3 billion.
MORE: 'Game of Thrones': A biz leader's guide
"Delays in payment usually aren't deliberate on the client's part," notes Sara Horowitz, who founded and runs Freelancers Union, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit association that offers health insurance and other resources to the self-employed. "It's just that your invoices get lumped in with all the other accounts payable -- and, especially since the recession, more companies are pushing those out beyond 30 days to 60, or even 90."
Intentional or not, she agrees with you that the damage to individuals' livelihoods is "not acceptable." In response, the Freelancers Union drafted a bill called the Freelancer Payment Protection Act, now wending its way through the New York State legislature, that would give the self-employed many of the same remedies for non-payment that regular employees now have, including the right to file grievances with the state department of labor.
With the U.S. freelance population now at 42 million and growing, Horowitz expects that other states will eventually adopt similar measures. In the meantime, though, and before you hire a lawyer or a collection agency, Horowitz -- who, incidentally, wrote a terrifically useful book called The Freelancer's Bible — has six suggestions.
1. Include payment terms in a written contract up front
If you're getting most of your assignments from friends, maybe you aren't formalizing contracts in writing, but you should. (Freelancers Union's web site has a free customizable contract you can use.) "Negotiate a time limit. If their policy is 90 days and yours is 30, maybe you can agree on 60," says Horowitz. "The contract can also specify a late fee, usually a percentage of the total amount."
2. Get a portion paid before the project is finished
To help even out your cash flow, and since you're committing your time and effort in advance, Horowitz recommends charging some "earnest money" when the contract is signed, or payable at an agreed upon point in the project -- say, when the work is half complete. Not only are partial payments often more digestible for clients, but they give you an early warning that you may be wasting your time on a deadbeat: If you don't see a check at the halfway mark (if that was the deal), are you sure you want to finish the job?
MORE: Apple's controversial cash cow: Free apps that sell extras
3. Practice prompt, preventive invoicing
"You should send invoices right away, while everyone's in love with your work," Horowitz says. "No love? All the more reason to bill them and close the books." Invoices should be sent "in triplicate," she adds. "Send each invoice by snail mail, email, and with a phone message saying the invoice was sent. If this is what you do on Round One, let them imagine what Round Two and Three will be like."
4. Get acquainted with someone in accounting
"You'll glean information about their procedures and get to know someone in a position to help if there's a delay," says Horowitz. "It's also helpful for keeping your primary work contact unsullied by the money thing." When starting each new gig, she advises, say something like, "I know you're busy. Is there someone in accounts payable I could reach out to?"
5. Consider delegating your billing to the cloud
"This is one time when making things less personal can really help," says Horowitz. "Documentation is nine-tenths of the collection game, so think about hiring an online service to track your time on projects, send invoices for them, including late-payment follow-up, and handle payment transactions." You can find these services by searching under "online invoicing" or "online billing."
6. Have a follow-up system
"Start with an email, friendly but firm, pointing out that your invoice hasn't been paid," says Horowitz. "If there's no response, a more formal notice could be next, recapping the billing information and saying, 'This payment is now however-many days, or weeks, late. Please contact me to discuss this serious matter.' Keep your tone professional, factual, and solution-oriented."
MORE: The U.S. military's miracle scanner
It's important to keep track of every contact with clients, she adds: "If you and the client work out a payment plan -- where, for example, you agree to accept the balance due in installments instead of all at once -- summarize it in an email for the record. Keep copies of every letter and email and a phone log. You're building documentation for possible use in court, or to hand over to a collections agency, if it comes to that."
Making sure you get paid may sound like a second job on top of your regular work, which is why many freelancers put off dealing with it, but that's a mistake. "Don't procrastinate on follow-up," Horowitz says. "The older the debt, the harder it will be to collect." Good luck.

The Wedding Bliss And Blues boards are back!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Did anyone ever come up with a good name for that decade? I kinda liked "The Noughties" but don't know if anyone else would understand what I meant.
I think I'd prefer the 70's.
Can I say "the entire mall" because today I could not find a single thing I wanted to buy. I know it's totally a first world problem, not to mention a matter of taste preferences, but yeah, nothing looked even slightly attractive. It made me sad since this is the first time in almost 6 months that I've gone shopping for myself, only to find that every store seems to have embraced the mid 80s. My choices were neon skinny jeans + sheer tops over bustiers or with suspenders, or clunky nautical prints in flowy polyester or rayon.
Oh yeah, we have the Prime Outlets here but I don't think we have a Yankee Candle outlet. We do however have Bath and Body Works. I wish they did, I do like Yankee Candle and some of the little accesories/decor they have but get annoyed with being followed!
It takes a lot to not frequent a place. I generally have bad luck eating out so I have become accustomed to my order never being right. Usually the 2nd time they get it right so I just don't expect anything the first time..and I am not horrible complicated ie plain meat/cheese bun burger or well done steak no pink ect..TGIFridays took the cake..We will not ever go back there or any of their locations..Visit one: Went in and ordered steak well done..no pink and fries with a drink..we wait and wait and wait..and after about 40 minutes we finally get our food..cut into the very tip of it and it was red..not just pink but red..let the waitress know and she sent it back..waited another 30 minutes and it came back out charbroiled..pitch black and hard as a rock..I was upset..it looked like the cook got mad at me and stuck it in the flames..complained again and left with the manager apologizing and gave us a free meal for next timeVisit 2: Glutton for punishment we went back and I ordered steak again same thing well done no pink..(I like steak what can I say) got it and shocking it was well done and tasted great..until I got to a hair imbedded in my steak..I picked up the hair and steak came up with it..and it wasn't mine...wrong color and length..Complained and showed the steak to the manager..offered another compVisit 3: Should have known better right? Well went back and ordered a burger..with fries and no ice in my drink..got my drink and ice same as every visit we have had..got my burger and it was cold after waiting for 40 minutes..got it remade and it came back lukewarm...complained again..offered a comped meal..said no thanks and left..Visit 4: Well we went up to big cities and had a full day at very big mall..We were hungry and the closest place was TGIFridays..figuring our bad luck was local we went in...waited for about 30 minutes to get in because they were busy..ok no problem..we got seated..but where they seated us the table was in the crossroad of the aisle..someone nearly tripped over our daughter's chair..then actually ran into it bumping her..we moved her in further..then someone ran into my husbands chair...one waitress did come over and apologize and refill our empty drinks..our waitress was MIA a lot but finally showed and then we ordered our food..daughter had a cheeseburger kids meal..nothing special except no ice in her drink..mine was a cheeseburger with different cheese and sauce on the side (Specialty burger) we waited and waited..people seated after us got thier food...waited and waited..my daughter being 4 and 1/2 getting whiney because she was hungry..finally after 40 minutes we got our food..and it was cold..my daughters was fine..manager came over and we told him my food was cold and the wait was a long time and the other people who came after us got their food first..he grabbed my food AND my daughter's even tho we told him our daughters was fine..and we made to wait another 30 minutes..I had a very hungry girl...then finally brought out our food and my order was wrong..we asked for the check and left..they let us know that it was comped and to please come back...after waiting for almost 2 hours and leaving hungry..we won't be back.
I can safely say I never did that as a waitress. Everyone got the exact same service from me. Not all are like that.
