Tim McGraw and Faith Hill rumored to be making Vegas residency announcement Tuesday
August 06, 2012
Well boys and girls, it looks like it's finally gonna happen -- Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are following in Garth and Shania's footsteps and heading to Las Vegas.
Allegedly, of course, at least until tomorrow.
It's been rumored for quite a while now that the pair would be taking up residence (as in performing, not living) at The Venetian in Vegas, but were just waiting for the right time to announce it. The last time they had a press conference lined up, they canceled due to Tim's schedule on the Brothers of the Sun tour. Well it sounds like the time is now right because according to the Las Vegas Journal Review, The Venetian has a news conference scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, August 7, and are billing it as "the biggest musical event in the history of The Venetian."
Can you imagine being able to see Tim and Faith, Garth, and Shania all in one weekend?
Man, I'd be partying like it's 1997!
No word as to the time the press conference is taking place, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open and let you know just as soon as I know any more.

REVIVAL OF FENCING MATCH More Undergraduates to Fence Ones Against the Alumnae Soon after Easter vacation the Alum nae and the undergraduates are to fence against each other. Since 1912, the un- dergraduates have been unable to re- spond to the challenge of the Alumnae, but once more they feel bold enough to try their skill. In the two matches which have been held between these two teams, the Alumna- have both times been vic- torious. In 1911. E. Klrkbride, '96; B. Ehlera, '09; C. Wesson, '09, for the Alumna?, fenced against a Varsity team, K. Chambers, '11; H. Emerson, '11; M. Hobart, '11, with a score of 6-3, and in 1912, K. Chambers, '11; B. Ehlers, '09; E. Klrkbride. '96, and G. Biddle. '09, de- feated E. Hurd, '12. Captain; A. M. Tay- lor, '13; I. VlncenL 12; H. Stix, '14; C. Hewitt, '15. The fencers among the undergraduates elected E. Rapallo to manage the team. Practice for this team will be held In the gymnasium on Tuesday night at quarter before nine.

The orig- inality and artlsticness of the posters an- nouncing the Freshman Show were ri- valled by the show itself. Such an excel- lent production is possible only with great attention to detail. Indefatigable work and the co-operation of the whole class. It Is especially difficult to get a Freshman class to work together and to fit the dif- ferent members into the right positions. On this score as well as on the success of her stage managing much credit is due C. Dodge. The first act at Bryn Mawr is. of course, not new; in fact, it is extremely trite, but It was saved by the original execution, by the hockey chorus especially. The second and third acts were the really original parts of the performance. It's a long jump from Bryn Mawr to Egypt and takes Inventive genius. This was furnished In great part by V. Pome- roy, who designed the scenery of the sec- ond act, the inside of a Pyramid looking out on the Nile, and to Mary Senior, chair- man of the committee on scenery. It was the chef d'oevre of the evening. The accuracy of the hieroglyphics on the wall and the mummy cases, together with the excellent posing of the friese, and the scarab on its altar, created immediately an ancient Egyptian atmosphere. The audience marveled at the composure of M. Scott, the scarab, in maintaining so difficult a position throughout the act. in which she sang admirably several times. The mummies suddenly hopping out of their rases startled the audience Into shouts of laughter The next feature, the College In 1000 B.C.. was One. especially (CWiatMrf �� /*�#* I) MIS8 KING'S 8PEECH IN CHAPEL On the Annual Exhibition of the Philadel- phia Academy of Fine Arts The Exhibition has been running long enough now for most of you to have seen j it and all of you to have heard about It. The general opinion seems to be that | while It might have been very much worse, yet It might have been a good deal better. My own Impression, the first time that I saw it, was confirmed when I went back to study the pictures, that while the general level of work is fair and very little comes lagging as far as the ideals of 1840 on the Hudson River, which appear every year In the Academy in New York, yet none of the great splen- did stirring things which I remember hav- ing seen at the Philadelphia Academy (not in my childhood, for everything seems stirring then, but not so many years ago), are in this Exhibition. Just to confirm my own impression of what might be the reason for this, I went to New York and walked through Fifth Avenue, stopping at the picture dealers' shops, for It is they who can tell what pictures will be successful. A great So- cialist lately said that no great and good thing was ever brought to pass except on commercial grounds. Things get done not because they are right, but be- cause they are needed. The picture dealers can tell you which way the stream is going to run. And after I had sat down In the Metropolitan Museum at the top of Fifth Avenue, foot-sore and weary, I knew the reason there was nothing more surprising and more per- sonal In the Academy was because the artists knew that doing that kind of thing would Insure them Immediate rejection by the Hanging Committee. I am going to speak this morning about the pictures that strike you first, then I am going on with the new names. When- ever I go to an exhibition, I try to bring away with me one or two names that I have not heard of before. They may not be entirely new, but at least I have not heard of them. For the next time I shall leave the question of the prises and why they were given and why they should or should not have been given and also say something about the portrait and land scape painting In a more general way.

5 A great unique readDiiddy | 17/10/2009 | See all Diiddy's reviews (1)This is a must read. A book written from an extremely innocent point of view and an insight into the life of a slightly awkward and interesting boy. It is a beautiful book that should be part of everyones collection. Male or female, if you have a sensitive side then this is for you. One of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading and will continue to do so for years. This is the forth copy of the book I have bought as I keep giving away my copy to people I know will love it.
4 Thoroughly enjoyed itxLoveBooksx | 20/11/2012 | See all xLoveBooksx's reviews (77)An eye opening, fun, heart warming book that address's some serious issues in an open manner.
5 IncredibleHannahcurwen | 28/11/2011 | See all Hannahcurwen's reviews (1)I would definately recommend this book to anyone, i wasn't really into reading when i read this, but i struggled to put it down, i thoroughly enjoyed it and suggest that if you're thinking about reading it then you should. Brilliant!
5 I love Charlie!Anteater | 21/08/2010 | See all Anteater's reviews (21)I don't know if i might be a little bit too old for Charlie but he's a nice human being and i wish everyone was humankind! I haven't read the whole book yet but i pick up the book before i go to work, and before i go to sleep, those are the only times i can read it during the week and each time i read a letter, i think what a nice boy. I love his unconventional look on life and how he thinks women should be treated. He is a very innocent boy even when he's dabbling in drugs and not being honest to Mary Elizabeth! His relationship with her made me laugh especially when he chooses the "right time". I love his relationship with people, not just his family but with his friends. His friends seem nice but they dabble in drugs. You can be nice and take drugs too, that is where people go wrong. I felt sorry for him after he dabbled with LSD. I haven't felt this way about a main character since Holden in Catcher in the Rye, and I CAN'T BELIEVE how many times he read that book! He is clever beyond his years yet socially awkward which makes him lovely and endearing and i just want to meet loads of people like him! I dont know what im going to read after i've read this book, probably read it again, or read Catcher in the Rye or just read the books he name drops and listen to the music he makes a mix tape of! I wonder what the film will be like!

Where should I place PZM-11LL mics for voice recognition? |
I'll be using a voice-recognition system in a room 12 ft x 30 ft long and 12 feet high with bare walls, ceiling and floor. Where should I place two PZM-11LL mics in that room for best results?
Rob Reply: A voice-recognition system works best when the mic picks up mostly your voice and not much of the room acoustics. To do that, the mic should be close to your mouth, and the room surfaces should be covered with absorbent materials if possible. If you spend about half your time sitting and half standing near a wall, install the PZM-11LL on that wall midway between seating and standing mouth height. Maybe you can arrange your activities so that you are near a microphone most of the time. Suppose you wander all around the room. If the two PZMs are in the middle of opposing walls, the miking distance will vary between about 2 and 16 feet -- so the amount of room acoustics in the signal will vary widely, confusing the voice-recognition system. To make the miking distance more consistent no matter where you are in the room, try two PZMs on the ceiling, 14 feet apart, on the center line joining the two 12-foot walls (see figure below). That way, when you walk around the room, the miking distance will be fairly constant (about 7 to 10 feet from the mouth). However, 7-to-10 feet is very far from the mics. You might attach the mics to the ceiling temporarily with gaffer tape to see if they work with your voice-recognition software. If possible, carpet the floor or add some throw rugs to reduce room reverberation. If the mics are on the walls, try to face the nearest mic when speaking. Suppose you "train" the voice-recognition system while speaking facing the mic. Later, if you speak at 30 degrees to the mic, the high frequencies ("s" sounds) will be slightly diminished -- so the recognition system might fail occasionally. However, I don't think this will be a problem. A mic 3 feet behind your head is better than a mic 15 feet across the room. The sound-shadowing effect of the head reduces high frequencies ("s" sounds) behind the head, but the PZM-11LL has a high-frequency boost to compensate. The mixer is not critical, just so it has enough amplification and low-enough noise for your voice-recognition system to work. PZM-11LL mics have a line-level output signal, so plug them into the mixer line inputs, not the mic inputs. Plug the mixer's line output into your sound card's line input, not the mic input. If you can afford more mics and an automatic (gated) mixer, and you will be near the walls most of the time, install two PZMs on each 30-foot wall (14 feet apart) and one on each 12-foot wall. That way, no mic will be more than about 8 feet from you. Run all the mics into the automatic mixer. It turns on only one mic at a time -- the mic with the strongest signal. This greatly reduces background noise and room acoustics compared to having all the mics on at the same time. The Shure SCM810 is an 8-channel automatic mixer. If possible, add carpeting, drapes, acoustic-tile ceiling, and stuffed furniture to the room. To absorb bass, get several rolls of fiberglass insulation (factory wrapped in plastic) and stack them from floor to ceiling in each corner. Cover them with muslin or burlap if looks are important. The ideal voice-recognition system uses a headworn mic (wired or wireless). That way, the mic is very close to the mouth and picks up a uniform sound with almost no room acoustics. You do not need to treat the room acoustically if you wear a headworn mic. You could use a Crown CM-312A mic (wired) or CM-312AE mic into a wireless transmitter of your choice. |

Have you considered the possibility that she means him no harm? Olga has all ready lost extremely close people to her during the last few months or so. Why would she inflict more harm when she has enough to deal with?
If she truly wanted to hurt him, she would have left him there in the audience and not have taken him to the control booth. There, he would have been shielded better, and have something to work on to take his mind of DeeDee. That way, he can slowly get use and over the one thing that causes him pain, and still be there to support Blossom.
You're also making her dumber that she is. Olga isn't stupid, but crafty in a way Mandy has appreciated and caring in a way to be friends with DeeDee. Should wouldn't jump onto the revenge train just like that.
madmonkey wrote:she could be an alternate love interest
It would never work. Olga's main interest in life is dancing, and we all saw how Dexter reacted to dancing. She's also should no romantic interest in Dexter.
Fuck it. I'll just re-post an argument I already gave on this:
Blood Lord wrote:hahahah. It worked, I was really thinking that this section was barren, but it actually worked.
Hello, sweet food.MQuinny1234 wrote:she probably had very little information on Mandarks schemes in the first place so let's assume that she didn't know he'd kidnapped Blossom and was kinda evil... We know she at least knew where he lived.
That's an interesting statement. One that I think I can answer in a different way.
We know Dexter was told where Mandark's base was at from here. However, Mandark's base and lab have always been located around his house. It is possible that the base Mandark went to during the PpGD fight was either a new base, a back up, or that events between Dexter's Lab and PpGD forced him to relocate his base again. We could go on and on for quite some time about the relativity of Mandark's base and the one behind his house. The main point of it is that yes, Olga knew were it was at, but there might also be the possibility that she didn't know that he was there.
After DeeDee's death, we all know that Mandark went off the deep end, and ended up in an Insane Asylum. Unless Dr X kept it a secert, Mandark's family would have learned that he had escaped. Olga might have checked that base (assuming that it was already built) for him, but he was a Black Eden helping the Dark Star Council. During this time, we know that Mandark did not contact his family.
Many things can be assumed from this point in time. But the standard thing thought could have been that he lost his mind, and was wandering around. But it also looked like that around the time that Dexter found Mandark in front of DeeDee's grave, that Mandark could have ran away from his family.Gato wrote:In my opinion, after the death of Dee Dee, Mandark needed someone to talk to. His parents, whom he wants nothing more than to sever all ties with, I don't think he'd turn to. But his sister, who, like him feels out of place with their parents and their flower child ways.
A possibility, but we don't know much of their relationship after DeeDee died. We do know that it was a bully relationship with Olga on top, but not if it changed in anyway.
Honestly, I don't think he talked to Olga. He "shut down" after her death.
As I said above, he was sent to a mental facility. That could have been an issue by his own parents, because I seriously don't think he had the will, or the mental capacity after that moment to make his own decisions.
Assumptions are a dangerous thing that humanity has a tendency to act upon. They are useful for insight, and gauge a few things. Some assumptions are made entirely correct because we know from a previous example that the same thing happened, but with people it can be very hard unless you know them.
Olga isn't stupid. I don't think she would assume that Dexter killed Mandark. Even if your version, MQuinny, was true. She is suffering from a fate that Mandark or Dexter probably isn't strong enough to live through, although they were all second hand experiences. Her good friend was killed by accident by her brother. I'm sure she would have figured that out from Mandark, a recording from one of the Jackbots, or looking at the evidence. DeeDee is dead and her brother goes psychotic, she knows about the rivalry, and that Dexter is DeeDee's brother. Not that hard to piece it together. Now he brother killed himself, someone that understood her and was going through the same thing. Someone she probably cared about in a similar fasion that Dexter did to DeeDee. Olga has lost a friend and a brother, why would she strive to create more pain?
I think that Olga knew there was a base in that location, and saw the explosion or smoke. Mandark's original lab might have still been remaining, or that in good enough condition to report that a secondary base had been destroyed. So she goes out to investigate, finds smoking ruins, and Mandark's glasses. Would murder be a quick thing to assume? Yes. Of course it would be, and then the next step would be a typical form of vengeance against the one who robed you of your loved one.
But Olga also knew of Mandark's mental status, love for DeeDee, and could also have figured out that he killed himself, either on purpose or by accident. I believe she is fully capable of deducting this if she figured out that he accidentally killed DeeDee. Now she could also have figured out that Blossom and Dexter were there if they showed up to school the next day all bandaged up. Dexter doesn't seem like someone who would take too much interest in the school gossip, but Olga doesn't strike me as the one who would limit her surroundings.
I think she would have been grateful for Dexter's and the PpG actions that night, and understandable. I don't think that she will seek vengeance because of three reasons. First, she has enough pain to deal with, why would she create more? There is a lot of effort to harm someone, and that time can be better placed else where. Second, Mandark was suffering and she knew that, and now he no loner has to suffer... well, he probably went to hell, but that isn't the point. Third, what would be the point? It would create closer, it wouldn't bring him back.
So what is she trying to do to Dexter now?
Could she be sinister enough to actually be comforting him and possibly the girls? She knows DeeDee's relations, so perhaps by pulling him off stage and sending him to be a repairman for the stage crew, that three things could happen. She is directing his attention from seeing dancing, something that must and does terribly pain him, to something that comforts him. Dexter can also remain in a position to be supportive of Blossom, and/or Bubbles while they join the dance group. At the same time, she could also be helping him get over his grief. In psychology, there is a method to help someone get over their fears by locking them in a room full of it, and there is a similar procedure to gradually introduce the fear-causing-agent. You can also reverse this to rid someone of their addiction, or grief.
Is it so hard to believe that someone might not want to cause pain, but help others over their own, and in the end their own pain?
Are you familiar with the saying "Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." ? It's said by a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, and was featured in the new Sherlock Holmes movie.
I believe this is what you are doing. But I do not hold myself clear of it as well. Along time ago, when GT was still updating, I proposed a radical theory based off of this page using this one as its primary support. My idea was known as the "Feedback Theory". Basically, Mimi had control over Minnie and the kiss broke that hold, and also leaked back to Mimi. This feedback contained feelings that my beloved little demon had never experienced; love. Thus showing her a different world and a possibility of being different and better than she was. And also the idea that she and Jr would hook up. The extent of the feedback depended on the type of control and how much power was behind it.
You should easily have seen the flaw within the Theory by now. My feelings for Mimi controlled by reasoning, thus blinding me to any other possibility. Although the Feedback Theory still remarkably stands unscratched, save for a few adjustments as time went on. No other theory has been proposed to challenge it, and remain standing. Nor has any other facts come out yet to dissolve it. That may change with AfterBirth, but I dunno.
My point is not to assume the obvious, nor let what you "think" or "want to happen in the story" take over. Don't jump the gun and quickly assume that its one thing, but that there could be many things going on, or something hiding that key. If you remain focused on one area, you will be blinded by the events around you.
Plus you have BeeAre writing the story, not Bleedman. BR has a unique trait were he never follows the cliche story motion unless he has to in order to fulfill a greater goal.

A slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a separation of the ball of the hip joint from the thigh bone (femur) at the upper growing end (growth plate) of the bone.
Femoral epiphysis - slipped
A slipped capital femoral epiphysis may affect both hips.
An epiphysis is an area at the end of a long bone that is separated from the main part of the bone by the growth plate. In this condition, the problem occurs in the upper area while the bone is still growing.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis occurs in about 2 out of every 100,000 children. It is more common in:
Children with hormone imbalances caused by other conditions are at particular risk for this disorder.
The doctor or nurse will examine you. A hip or pelvis x-ray can confirm this condition.
Surgery to stabilize the bone with pins or screws will prevent the ball of the hip joint from slipping or moving out of place. Some surgeons may suggest using pins on the other hip at the same time, because many children will develop this problem in that hip later.
The outcome is usually good with treatment. However, in rare cases, the hip joint may wear away, despite prompt diagnosis and treatment.
This disorder is associated with a greater risk of osteoarthritis later in life. Other potential but rare complications include reduced blood flow to the hip joint and wearing away of hip joint tissue.
If your child has persistent pain or other symptoms of this disorder, have the child lie down immediately and remain still until you get medical help.
Weight control for obese children may be helpful. Many cases are not preventable.

Two weeks from today is the next meeting of the Capital Region Animal Rights Book Club. We'll be discussing Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat by Howard Lyman.
If you wish to bring any snacks or goodies to the book discussion, they must be 100%
From the Mad Cowboy website:
Howard F. Lyman has brought the issue of the dangers of eating beef to light like never before. A former cattle rancher-turned-vegetarian and food safety activist, in 1996, Lyman revealed, to a national television audience, how the cattle industry potentially exposed Americans to Mad Cow Disease by feeding cows the remains of live animals – including other cows. As a result of his remarks, Lyman was named a co-defendant with Oprah Winfrey in the infamous "veggie libel" case brought by Texas ranchers in Amarillo.
In this shocking and powerful book, Lyman uncovers the dangerous and potentially deadly practices of the cattle and dairy industry. MAD COWBOY is a passionate manifesto for change from an industry insider whose firsthand experiences will alter the way you think about your food, and the people who produce it, forever. "Sure, I used to enjoy my steaks as much as the next guy," writes Lyman. "But if you knew what I know about what goes into them and what they can do to you, you'd probably be a vegetarian like me."
A fourth generation dairy farmer and cattle rancher, Lymanbecame enamored of the "bold new age of chemically enhanced agriculture" as a student in agricultural college. Spurning the organic farming methods of his father and grandfather, he became a convert to modern chemical farming techniques: he fed his cows with hormones and antibiotics, and blanketed his farm with pesticides and herbicides. With his mind relentlessly focused on profits, he refused to acknowledge the harmful effects that this steady stream of chemicals might pose for the environment and for consumers who would later ingest these chemicals as meat. Admitting that at the time he "never met a chemical he didn't like, " Lyman says that he, like other dairy and cattle farmers, poisoned his animals and polluted his farms.
Cattle ranchers turned cows into cannibals. Until August 1997, cattle were routinely fed the remains of other cows. The Department of Agriculture and the FDA banned the practice, fearing the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, better known as Mad Cow Disease. But it remains legal to feed cows "rendered" — dead and ground up — parts of certain animals, including the blood of other cows, despite the fact that this practice may allow deadly illnesses to enter the food chain. In 1995, five million tons of processed slaughterhouse leftovers were sold for animal feed.
In an effort to prevent disease, Lyman, like other ranchers, fed his cows antibiotics even before they became ill. Soon, Lyman was on an "antibiotic treadmill" constantly changing drugs as the cows became resistant to them, and even using antibiotics after they were banned because of the dangers they posed to human health. Every day, Lyman sprayed his feedlot with insecticides which would then fall into the cattle's food and water — and eventually become part of someone's dinner. Ranchers relentlessly used growth hormones, particularly DES, which they stockpiled when it was banned.
To increase their profits, ranchers also routinely fed growth hormones to cattle within two weeks of their slaughter, despite a government ban on the practice. Dairy ranchers continue to use recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) to enhance milk production, despite the fact that this chemical — which has been implicated in causing cancer and other diseases — shows up in milk.
In 1989, the discovery of a rare spinal tumor led Lyman to examine his life. In MAD COWBOY, he tells the moving story of his own personal transformation, and how he became a crusader for organic farming and more conscious eating habits. Lyman describes the devastating effects that modern feed lot operations are having – and will continue to have – on the environment, and also outlines the profound health benefits that switching to a vegetarian diet offers, including reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. After adopting a vegetarian diet, Lyman himself lost 130 pounds and lowered his cholesterol by more than 150 points.
"…I felt better knowing that there was one answer to many of the different ills afflicting both ourselves and our environment. Everything revolved around the fork." (MAD COWBOY, p. 81)
MAD COWBOY is an honestly written, urgent wake-up call to America, a heartfelt plea for all consumers to take a closer look at the food they eat, and how it is grown.
Howard F. Lyman is a fourth-generation family farmer from Montana. After 20 years of operating a feed lot, he sold his ranch and started working for farmers in financial trouble. He was a lobbyist in Washington, and ran for Congress in 1982.
He is the former Director of the "Beyond Beef Campaign" & theHumane Society of the United States' "Eating With Conscience" Campaign; past President of both the International Vegetarian Union, and EarthSave International; and is currently President ofVoice for a Viable Future.
Howard travels over 100,000 miles every year as a speaker and lecturer. A Feature Documentary on his life is now in post-production. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife Willow Jeane, and his cat, Ceasar.
Glen Merzer, playwright, screenwriter, and vegetarian, lives in Santa Monica, California.

Global Tel Link/PCS Are the Same and Crooked
Posted by
TEXAS -- I was charged by both Prison Call Services and Global Tel Link and realized they are one and the same though Global Tel Link tells you that PCS is a fraud, at one point one of their reps told me to go back to PCS because it would save me money. Both took my money but charged services fees and there are hidden fees even if you don't answer the call. You put money in the account and it can be gone in one short phone call and they immediately demand more. I added money one day but that same day, my niece was released so I called and canceled it but they threatened me on the phone demanding to know why I was canceling as if I didn't have a right as a consumer to cancel an unneeded service. But I had filed a fraud claim against PCS, signed up with Global Tel Link and "somehow" they were able to get my money from PCS for a fee of course. Wells Fargo further lost me money because they claimed that PCS was legitimate although their phone numbers do not work. Global Tel then pretends to be saving you.
So I canceled since she was released and for a few days the money was back in my account but then somehow when Wells Fargo investigated PCS, they decided it was a legitimate business so they OK'd the cancelled withdrawal which then somehow voided my cancellation of the Global Tel Link service and the 50.00 was taken out but because of bank procedures, the transactions "dropped off my account" so when I checked it looked like that the money was taken out then promptly returned only to have them sneak it out a few days later. I kept looking for the amount minus the 14.95 service charge for cancellation and kept searching for 50.00 that I was short. Finally after my daughter was arrested again and she was able to call me, they announce on the call my balance! I go to my account and sure enough they had kept the 50.00 and if she hadn't been picked up, the money would have stayed in there past the 90 day refund period and I would have lost it all together.
Not only is Global Tel Link an expensive fraud, PCS is owned by them and they manage to work you both ways: PCS advertises a flat rate and/or less per minute but the number is declared no good by Global Tel Link and they step in take the rest of what you gave to PCS and charge you service charges, a long distance rate, a unanswered call charge...on and on. Plus trying to stop payment on PCS just got me an email threat saying they could charge me 3 times what I owed if I went to the bank! And then the bank sees that Global Tel Link was used at one time and they didn't even check out PCS so they said the 50.00 Global Tel Link used plus charges was legitimate and let it go through even though I had canceled it and had not used any calls against the 50.00. It is a racket, it is government sanctioned, it is a monopoly and it seems we have no recourse EXCEPT I am a writer and I am going to spend the rest of my days harassing my senator and congress person for reform.
The prison system doesn't help drug addicts and it doesn't help people while they are in jail so they come out worse than before. It is a money making business and hardworking families in an attempt to help their family members, only get ripped off. My niece is young and suffered the loss of her parents both suddenly and tragically within a two year period. I'm not condoning her drug use and it has been a battle but she doesn't need to be in prison but in treatment like all drug addicts. But punishing the families by ripping us off doesn't help us help our family members. I have given her an ultimatum because there is a 2 year live-in program and she can live with me or my father anymore. She needs professional help to rebuild her life and she needs structure and to be working with people who have experience with drug addicts and their fears. I am helpless in doing anything for her because it is up to her. She may not have hit bottom and she may not make it and that frightens me more than anything. BUT I don't need to be played by a big corporation which makes billions off the prison system.
I need my energy to be here for her when she decides she wants to restart her life. I don't need to be ripped off as if I deserve to be treated like a brainless twit who has money lying around for these racketeers to bully and rip off. None of us deserve that, regardless of who or why a family member is in prison. The prison system helps no one, and our judgment of people who have fallen into drug use is unfair since we don't have a clue what brought that about. And God help the innocent who get arrested and their families have no money nor understanding of how to fight for them or have the means to even figure out how to get help. I am ashamed of America right now. There is no compassion for the poor and as needed services are erased, more people will fall into despair and into jail. And as Global Tel Link takes money hand over fist, you can bet they pay no taxes. If you read this, and you find yourself in this same situation, speak out, be a pest to your congress people, call the White House, your Governor, don't stop being loud and clear about the changes we need. In silence, we will fail our children.

3 Way Call Detected...
Posted by
ALABAMA -- I've been using Global Tel Link for about a month to get calls on my cell phone from my fiance. The costs of each call is $2.50 per phone call and the phone calls are 15 minutes long. I only add money via Western Union which is a $10.95 sending fee. Talk about expensive.
Well, I hadn't had a problem out of the phone calls until about a week ago. Now, when I only have about 2 more calls left, the automated recording tells me I have a low balance and then I just count the last two. This was our 1 call after hearing the low balance recording. We heard something pick up, kind of like when you're on the house phone and someone picks up to listen to your phone call...but I was on a cell phone.
On my fiance's end, he heard a strange little buzzing sound. We've concluded that is when the jail picks up to listen in to your calls. Well, then all of a sudden I hear "3 way call detected" and there goes my $2.50 phone call. Boy was I mad. I called customer service immediately and explained that I don't even have 3 way calling on my cell phone. The customer service lady explained that (and this is important) GLOBAL TEL LINK DOES NOT GUARANTEE CALLS TO CELL PHONES. So, I asked to speak to her supervisor. While I was on hold (since every time I'm on hold it's for about 20 minutes no matter what it is), I pulled up their website and read the ENTIRE thing. And not one time did I read that there was no guarantee for cell phone. Oh, I was mad. But, I did not show I was mad, just disappointed. Instead of getting a supervisor, I got an answering machine. Very unprofessional, but whatever.
I left a message explaining that the woman I spoke with was very helpful but I would like to know why there is no guarantee for cell phones through their company but it was not in any recording, on the website, or even in any fine print. I left my number and requested them to call back (I said please). I didn't receive a call back, which upset me. But after I received my 2nd call and knew I didn't have minutes anymore, I went to do another Western Union (because like most of you who used Global Tel Link, it's the ONLY option if you want to speak with someone incarcerated) and added $20 to my account. Now, if my math is correct, and I aced math all my life, that's 8 phone calls.
Well, I never called customer service back and even though I felt so upset at the time, I refuse to complain about this service because I have now received 27 phone calls without making any more payments and it still hasn't told me that I have a low balance.
Now, as to whether they are going to contact me and tell me my balance is $-100 sometime down the road is another story. but, the great thing about that is...my phone is not in my name, it's prepaid; the account is for my prepaid phone...I'll just change my number and they can eat the bill. haha.
So, maybe you can try to call customer service and be very polite but very displeased with the service and let them know on the answering machine what's going on and ASK NICELY for a return phone call. And if they call you back instead of doing whatever it was they did to my account that has given me all these phone calls, then just tell them they'll return your money or you're calling corporate and going well above their head. Oh, and ask for the supervisor's name...that'll probably help him/her to make the decision of giving you your money back instead of trying to make you go away.
Hope this helps someone else like it did my fiance and me.
PS - sorry your family/friends are incarcerated. I know how hard it is, now.

VERY COSTLY collect call Inmate charges!! Costing $25 a day for 2 calls
Posted by
I have a family member in jail and I am using Global Tel Link for her collect calls to me. When I first started the account $25 would get her at least 1-2 calls a day for 3 days. Over the past few weeks I started added $50 because it takes forever to go through all the instructions to add the money with your credit card. Well, once I started putting $50 on the account the money went even quicker with her not changing her call routine. It turned into every 3 days it was another $50. Well I went back to putting $25 on the phone and yesterday I put $25 on the phone when she called. She called back in the evening and GTL said I had to add MORE money to accept the call. That was $50 in one day for 2 calls. I called GTL today and what they told me was it cost $8.34 for a 20 minute call but the jail only allows 15 minute calls. They charge $9.50 to add $50 and $4.75 to add $25 every time you add money. I was also told that if an inmate or loved one is trying to call you collect and you don't answer for instance they call 2-3 times back to back then GTL will hold the money on the account for 5 minutes for each time someone calls and you don't pick up. So if you happen to pick up on the 3rd call then the GTL message will say "you have a collect call and need to add money to accept." This to me is very very hard to keep track of and it has now turned into every time I get a call from my family member I am adding money even though my family member has started calling only 2-3 times a week now. This entire operation really is a rip-off.
I still have no idea why I am being charged $8.34 per 20 minute call when inmates have a 15 minute limit. If anyone knows a company to use for collect inmate calls please let me know.

Super Upset
How crazy does this sound??? A few weeks ago I added minutes/funds to my phone and only received one call from the correctional facility. For personal reasons I changed my number (same phone company). Clearly I had close to 20 dollars left in my account, which I paid with MY CREDIT CARD. This is after the phone call I had just received and the ridiculous fee they charge you EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU ADD MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT. After changing my number I called to have MY MONEY/FUNDS transferred to my new number. Let's not omit the fact that getting a hold of these people, especially when you are at work is extremely difficult; shame on you if you miss the call. The first time they returned my call the representative said that it would be transferred as a one time courtesy because they normally did not do that. WHY??? You are paying for a service correct??? OK, well I thought it was done and over with and I was going to be able to use the my remaining balance. After all, that is what the operator told me. A few days ago I got a phone call from the correctional facility and it did not come through. I had no money in my account. I thought it was some sort of mistake so here I go again. I called them last Friday and as usual got their automated call back center. Got a call back and re-explained my situation. The operator clearly mentioned it should have been done but they had made some sort of mistake and the transaction never went through. Funny how when they take your money they never make any mistakes. So, she puts me on hold and tells me that her supervisor is the only one with the authority to do that and to wait while this is being processed. Then out of nowhere, I get an answering machine that tells me that no one is available to take my call and to call back later. What a freaking joke! I get hung up on!!!! Wow! Seriously, if they are not going to do it why even make you waste your time? So I called today again and I get the biggest A-hole on the phone to tell me that no there had the authority to promise me anything and that they won't even do it as a one time courtesy because they took that away too. Then on top of that he adds insult to injury and tells me that I paid them the money and that now it is theirs and they can do with it whatever they please!!!! Are you kidding me?! How can you pay for a service/item/product and then once you pay you don't get anything in return, zero, nothing??? Is that even legal? It's not like I changed cell phone companies. Why don't they advice you of their policy in writing to begin with? to know what to expect in case things like this happen? I was so upset I just told the jerk to keep my money and hung up. I wish there was someone regulating such unscrupulous & unethical companies and make them revise their stupid and ridiculous policies. How easy is it to just steal someone's money nowadays? They are no better than any pickpocket out in the streets. Whatever happenend to keeping your customer happy???

Rip Off On Charges For Calls
Posted on
OKLAHOMA -- My spouse is an inmate at Hillside Correctional in Oklahoma City. Every time I place more money on my account the recording tells me it is now connecting my call, which it does not. I get disconnected every time and charged for the call. I finally managed to talk with a live person about this, and was told it would take seven business days to get a reply. I haven't heard anything since. this has been an ongoing problem, and the company does not seem to care. I am sick of being charged for a call that I don't get to use. I was also informed that Global cannot credit my phone back the charges because it is a cell phone. I have heard that other inmates have experienced the same problem, but do not know that for a fact. I guess my next step is to call the Better Business Bureau. I wish to add that the rate this company charges is absurd. I wish I could list my true feelings about Global in this letter, but the language is not printable.

Still waiting for REFUND
Posted by
RESTON, VIRGINIA -- I set upthe account so my son could call home from jail at the time I thought it was the only way, Well in January we gave them our debit card number and continued using this company for two monthsto a total of $350.00. The company then changed there poilcy and we need to pay $100 on an account over the phone which then my son could call home again, so we did. From Feb. 26,2010 an March 10, 2010 he called six times which left a balance of $81.72. The Prison then gat a new company and we had to swith (which I might add this company is very good.) On March 13, 2010 I called Global Tel Link to get my account closed and get my refund and the person said on problem 7- 10 days. Two weeks went by and still on refund in my account I called back they said We need to account number for the refund I reply You have the account number, you have been taking $50. a week for it for the last two months how can you say you don't have it. So my husband gave them the account number on his card which has been done before and my account number also She said she would personally take this to the account and billing her self to see that it got taking care of can I waited 7 to 10 days no refund. Called again and the man said I need to fax a letter stating I wanted my account closed and the refund to go back into my account. I hung up and did just that. Two weeks later I called and the Lady said I had giving her a wrong number I said No and you also have the number in my account and on the fax, she had nothing to say again I gave my account number and said I want my money within Two business days after all Global Tel debits the account in 24 hours I should not have to wail any longer for what belongs to me. Today May 4th I still have no refund. So trust me when I say DON'T use this company no matter how bad you want to talk to your family member.

The BIGGEST rip offs ever!
Posted by
This company GTL is the biggest rip in the whole world, I have never in my life been so blatantly ripped off.
Firstly, I was cut off from speaking to the inmate and charged for it.
Secondly, they said the inmate has gone passed his allotted limit or there's a block on my side (I called my phone company THERE WASN'T ANY KIND OF BLOCK), I call bull on that because if I'm paying the bill, WHO CARES.
Thirdly, I now have to put $25-$50 every time he calls and we can only speak for about 4-5min because they charge fees on top of the collect call. $25 goes towards ONLY three short phone calls.
Fourthly, GLOBAL TEL has to be the biggest SCAM out there.
It's typical OUR system THE INJUSTICE of that communication company GTL raping the AMERICANS who already pay through their butts to keep these horrible companies alive.
Fifthly, their customer service SUCKS!! They transferred me to a message recording and that cut me off as well. PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS ALREADY!!!

Globaltel Link Is A P.O.S. Company
Posted by
I add $25 every week to my cell phone to speak with a friend that is an inmate. With that $25 dollars, 5 goes to a service charge of some sort and the other $20 gets us 3 phone calls of 15 minutes each. As if that's not already ridiculous enough. We were on our last phone call today when he called me and about 6 minutes into the phone call the spokesman for the company comes on and says that the call is being disconnected for use of three way calling. And then when my friend calls back there were only two dollars remaining and that got us just a little over 1 minute of talking. I have no idea on how to use three way calling and I already know if I were to ever try that it would not work and the phone would shut off. So I called the company and it has a policy of if you have a cell phone problem and the call is lost then no money will be refunded. And yes I understand and agree that if your cell phone loses service or goes dead then no you shouldn't get any money refunded. But in my situation it was the company's fault for the phone call being dropped. Not my phones at all. So I wanted a refund and after having this guy tell me 100 times there is no way since I was using a cell phone to get my money refunded. So I told him in the politest way that I would like to speak with someone higher up. And after repeatedly asking that he did. When he finally transferred me it was to a lady and again I spoke with respect and explained my situation. And she started to "explain" that no refunds were allowed to be given I said, even though it was your companies fault and then she proceeded to yell at me and tell me it was rude that she let me speak and then interrupted her.
So I let her speak. Then she put me on hold after being a total witch about things for about 8 minutes and answered the phone again and said sorry about the hold, was there anything else I could help you with. I let her know she helped me with nothing and used another arrange of names that I can't say on this complain but I'm sure you know what they are. I am looking for another company to use and I would NOT recommend this p. o.s. company to ANYONE!!

Lies are Lies Whoever Tells Them
Posted by
OKLAHOMA -- I recently received a call from Global Tel Link only for GTL to tell me it was blocked. I researched the problem, and I realized that GLT is not truthful. I believe they think that they are dealing with "the lowest of the low" so what they say to us as consumers should be taken as the truth. After my phone was blocked, I called GTL, and they told me that Windstream, my telephone provider rejected the calls and to deal with ILD the people who bill the calls. ILD told me that GTL is the one who put the block on the phone. I called GTL after the Claim that Windstream rejected the charges, and they told me I was one of their best customers, and they did not block any calls. By the way, I talked with the management. When I went back to GTL with Angie's (Windstream) report, GTL went to a different story: I had accepted over $200 in phone calls from the correctional facility. When that statement was discredited by Stephanie at GTL (unbeknownst to the management, Justine (GTL)told me I would have to set up a prepaid account. All of those lies were told to me so that I would set up a prepaid account for which they charge a 25% fee. GTL in untruthful, and the honest sector of the country can not deal with lies. GTL makes up stories as they go hoping that no one with verify their statements. When they are cornered in their lies, they still lie and say because we put a block on your phone for nonpayment, you must set up a prepaid account. No wonder GTL has an "F" grade with the Better Business Bureau. I am writing to my state's Department of Corrections to see if they will rein in GTL. We all should do the same. If the prisons offer phone service, then it should be service. Letters have always been an option, but if there is going to be service, then there should be service--no scams.

All I Can Say Is Wow!
Posted by
I have been dealing with Global Tel Link for a little over a year. I have paid there high phone rates and have never been blocked not once until a week ago. I always pay on time because as we all know the phone is a vital contact especially when your loved one is far away. last week they called me and told me they can not bill through the phone company anymore and I would have to fax a copy of my phone bill to them and it would take 3-5 business days to process. today is my 7th day being blocked and still the fax has not been processed. there customer service representative told me that I need to learn patience. I thought that was extremely rude since they told me 3-5 business days not 5-7 days not 7-10 days. I was told not to call back until Friday...and all of this time I am trying to sort out the problem she tells me this process happens within the first 2 days of them going to a prison and I told her that was BS because my husband has been in prison for 2 months now. I asked her if there was a way to even check and see if they received the fax and she told me if I wanted to track it, that would take an additional 5 days. I am sorry but I feel that it is wrong how they are handling customers who actually have been good and pay when they are supposed to. I work a 2nd job just to pay these people every single week. I agree with everyone else on here, there is no need to punish the civilians who are trying to do the right thing just because one of there loved ones messed up and is incarcerated, we are being treated horribly and I am sorry but I get told they service over 1,000 prison facilities all over the USA and this is why it takes so long, well if that is the case, then you need to hire more people then what you have working for you. I am in retail management and if myself or one of my workers EVER treated a paying customer like how I have been treated for the past week, we would be written up and then fired if it persisted.
If you are going to give high phone rates, at least make your customer service department a little more pleasant to deal with. we the consumers are not mean, we just want better service, especially when we are shelling out a lot of money to you.

Administrative process and its role in the legal system. Because the administrative process involves action that is susceptible of characterization as executive, legislative, and judicial, a considerable portion of the course involves a study of the relationship of administrative agencies with these more traditional departments of government. Both formal and informal administrative procedures are examined.

Boeing 747-8 (N5016R)CommentsI think I can smell the burnt-rubber from here in Delaware ! It's no wonder my carpeting is turning black & StandlySteemer has to be paid $250 for cleaning. Frauke calls it dirt. I call it Carbon Black , & when it gets into one's lungs, they too turn black !! I'm thinking they should change the rubber-color to white or pink or maybe even Green !...why always just Black ?? It is the all time most beautiful commercial aircraft built!!! Makes the A380 look like a bloated tick! I am hoping Emirates places the order this fall. Best Airlines & Luxury Airlines
