So in order to stop my wages from being garnished, i had to go back in the office and set up a NEW agreement, and they said they wouldnt accept anything unless I gave them $500 cash right away. I couldn't do that, so I agreed to give them $250 that day, and another $250 two weeks later. Ms. White from the 'legal department' agreed to this, and we outlined a new payment plan which included 2 mothly payments of $25.
Less than 2 weeks later, I'm on my way to California for a weekend and my debit card is declining out of no where. I call the bank and come to find out Sentry placed a legal hold on all of my accounts. At this point, my 2nd payment from the new agreement wasn't even due yet. I called and spoke to Mr Allen once again, and have never dealt with such an unprofessional, disrespectful business person. He told me that when they were garnishing my wages, they were also garnishing my bank account at the same time. When I asked why this wasn't stopped along with the wage garnishment when I paid the $250 cash, he said that it's not his problem and it was my fault because I was the one that let the account go into default. He also used some other name calling, bullying tactics in trying to get me to come in with $750 cash to unfreeze my accounts. He said things along the lines of "you are an incompetant mother and pathetic excuse for a human being," among other things, eventually reducing me to tears. Mind you that I was stuck in california with absolutely NO access to any of my money.
Long story short, I had to wait until I came back to Vegas on monday and talked to a lawyer to get my accounts released. The lawyer advised me to just make the agreed upon payment ($250 which was due the next day), and she would follow up with the company to have my accounts released. According to my lawyer, it was a mistake on their part to even allow my bank to be garnished after a new agreement was established. Unfortunately she said there was nothing that could be done regarding the way that Mr. Allen treated me. I still have to call and speak to this guy every 2 weeks to make a $25 payment over the phone, and I get a nasty attitude everytime I ask for a simple confirmation number, or the remaining balance. I'm sure when I'm about to be done paying off the account, I will have some more problems, and if I do I will be sure to repost. If you think a class action is possible, feel free to contact me. I already filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Attorney General, and the Federal Trade Commission.
I am appalled that this company is still operating and treating people like this on a daily basis. If there is anything more that I can do please let me know.

Petraeus and Manning (self.WikiLeaks)
submitted 1 year ago by overthrow23
It's been widely reported in the news that one of General Petraeus' mistresses, in a speech, was leaking information that was widely unknown to the public (namely that the reason for the attacks in Benghazi was that there were prisoners being held there).
So we have this general and now leader of the CIA, who released this classified information to his girlfriend, who then leaked it publicly.
When are we going to see Petraeus and his girlfriend suffer Manning-style consequences? When are they getting locked up? Obviously it's serious business, or the FBI wouldn't be looking into it, and he wouldn't have been made to quit - when are they getting arrested?
[–]overthrow23[S] 23 points24 points25 points 1 year ago
I was thinking at least Manning did it as a whistleblower.
Petraeus just released the stuff to impress some slut he was banging, who leaked it to seem cool to her friends.
[–]mst3kcrow 17 points18 points19 points 1 year ago
who leaked it to seem cool to her friends.
To seem cool? Probably not. To advance her career? More likely.
[–]crocomut 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
why not both?
[–]morbid126 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Another reason for a source.
[–]MyDogTheGod 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Eh, why the choice of the word "slut"? We don't have to be sexist here.
[–]overthrow23[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Hmm.. I take that back then. I just don't know a gender neutral word for the concept. Like, if it's a woman, it's a whore, but if it's a guy, what is it - a whoremonger? Blame deficiencies in the language, not sexism.
[–]MyDogTheGod 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I appreciate your thoughts, although I'd argue that language and thought are intertwined to such an extent that we cannot tease the sexism out. Precisely because there is no equivalency in words ("slut" and what? "stud"?) is what makes them sexist.
Using the word "nigger" in any context is inherently racist; there's no equivalence for a white person. Just like "slut"; there's no equivalence either.
(I'd also say that "whoremonger" is sexist too, because we're using the root word "whore," which is, obviously, pejorative to women.)
But anyways, thanks for listening to me!
[–]econstructivist 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Spare me ;) 'Slut' works for guys too (I been called one) and I grew up being called "cracker", "dumb cracker" and "cracker-ass motherfucker". "Nigger" is just what a British or Southern accent sounds like pronouncing "negro", which is Latinate for 'black'. History charmed that one into offensiveness, not really etymology.
Ain't no sexism, call a slut a slut. "Rentboy", "manwhore" and "puto" (we're so colonized Spanish is English at this point) work as well.
[–]ihsw 19 points20 points21 points 1 year ago
If you think anybody is getting locked up them you're clearly confused and misguided. These are people in positions of power.
However creating a check-list of what Manning did and comparing it with a nearly-identical check-list of what this mistress did would be effective in convincing people of the government's hypocrisy.
I wonder how Assange is holding up in isolation.
[–][deleted] 1 year ago
[–]ihsw 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
I meant it in the nicest way, condescension was very much not my intention.
[–]xaoq 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
Double standards are nothing new...
[–]RuTsui 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
This is straight forward. He had an affair, the FBI investigated it as part of a separate investigation, he resigned. He was not fired, he is not being arrested.
The investigation would determine whether or not the affair was a national security risk, but it's no longer necessary since General Petraeus quit anyways. If he was leaking classified intel, then yes, he will be arrested, but there needs to be unmistakable evidence of a security compromise for that, not just his word vs. hers.
Petraeus will be shamed and this will haunt him until he dies, that is all.
[–]strangerzero 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
The existence of a secret prison in Benghazi might not be true. If that is the case he and she were not leaking anything.
[–]Sulla06c 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
It all seems very very fishy
[–]morbid126 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Hey. link it to us. The source of where it said Petraeus said it to his girlfriend.... otherwise.... this might be just a rumour someone started.... otherwise..... it might be as big as first thought. I just need proof...

Price per square foot is becoming more important as buyers shop for homes, says Deborah Beaver of William Ryan Homes. William Ryan Homes's Strawberry Creek, above, is in Kenosha, Wis. (March 5, 2010) |
Hidden values at-a-glance
Not having to replace the roof or heating system may be obvious ways you can save with a new construction home. Here are some additional areas of savings:
Homes are built to 2010 energy efficiency standards, which equals less in utility costs.
Warranties are in place that guarantee craftsmanship and mechanical equipment.
Typically the homeowner insurance costs are lower due to new construction and existing warranties.
Minimal upfront maintenance costs.
Lower taxes for the first year to 18 months. A new home's taxes are assessed on land and initial purchase price. - Festival of Homes on Chicago Now
- Festival of Homes on Facebook
While location still plays a role in a decision to buy a new home, Andrew Konovodoff, president of Town & Country Homes, says it isn't quite as important in the changed economy as it once was.
"People are looking for affordability," he says. "Buyers are very, very budget conscious."
He says location is probably the second consideration behind price and value.
"Value is really what is driving home sales," he says.
"And what is value? People are looking for something that is going to be adequate for their family needs at affordable pricing."
Nicolle Gardiner, senior sales manager for Toll Brothers, says the days of people wanting the biggest house available have passed and buyers are shopping smart and looking at areas such as energy efficiency and utility bills.
"It used to be ego driven and now it is more pocketbook driven," she says.
Deborah Beaver, vice president of the Chicago Division of William Ryan Homes, says it's all about price per square foot.
More for your money
While people may have been OK with areas such as open foyers and great rooms in the past, Beaver says more buyers are looking for finished basements, larger family rooms and extra bedrooms for more useable space.
"It's how much can I get for my money," she says. "They are looking for more useable space and flexible spaces."
Gardiner says buyers have a more practical approach to their new home purchase considering, in some cases, how their existing furniture will work into the space.
Konovodoff agrees, saying if anything good has come from the corrections in the economy it has forced builders to rethink space and make homes even more efficient.
"It's trying to put a lot into a little space," he says.
Konovodoff says one way Town & Country Homes does that is to put mechanical systems in walls and through floors and avoids putting them in areas where they take away livable space.
Easy access
Getting the most useable space for the best price is increasingly important, but taking a look at the surrounding neighborhood also adds to the value.
Konovodoff says Town & Country's Churchill Club is a perfect example of value in its surroundings.

The TRAM flap was replaced by the DIEP flap as the gold standard in breast reconstruction several years ago. However, it is important to understand the concept of TRAM surgery and how it has evolved into today's cutting edge DIEP procedure.
There are three main forms of the TRAM flap operation commonly performed by plastic surgeons for mastectomy reconstruction:
The Pedicled TRAM flap
This was the first operation to describe use of one of the rectus abdominus muscles (sit-up muscle) for breast reconstruction. The surgery begins with an incision from hip to hip. Then, a "flap" of skin, fat and one of the patient's abdominal muscles is tunneled under the skin to the chest to create a new breast. Recovery from the surgery is difficult and painful. Long-term, the patient has to adapt to the loss of some abdominal strength (up to 20%). As with any procedure there is the possibility of complications including delayed healing, fat necrosis (part of the tissue turns hard due to poor blood supply), loss of the reconstruction altogether (rare), and abdominal complications such as bulging and/or hernia.
The Free TRAM flap
This procedure involves disconnecting the flap from the patient's body, transplanting it to the chest, and reconnecting it to the body using microsurgery. Advantages over the pedicled TRAM include: improved blood supply (and therefore less risk of healing problems and fat necrosis), and less muscle sacrifice (so the abdominal recovery is a little easier, potentially more strength is maintained long-term, and the risk of bulging and hernia formation is lower). Since the tissue is disconnected and transplanted to the chest, there is also no tunneling under the skin as there is with the pedicled procedure and no subsequent upper abdominal bulge around the ribcage area (which is typically seen with tunneling).
The Muscle-Sparing Free TRAM flap
This operation is associated with all the benefits of the free TRAM but has significantly fewer abdominal complications and side-effects (pain, bulging, hernia, strength loss) because the vast majority of the abdominal muscle is spared and left behind. The amount of muscle taken is typically very minimal (postage-stamp size). The PRMA surgeons will opt for this surgery only in the rare event that the patient's anatomy does not allow for the DIEP or SIEA flap to be performed. Learn more about the DIEP flap procedure here.

I just got my 60 Samsung plasma from TigerDirect (second order, first one was a plu ray player) referenced in this thread:
http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/88664/tigerdirect.com-60-samsung-pn60e7000-wifi-3d-plasma-hdtv-2x-3d-glasses?page=4# All in all, I am very happy with TD so far. After my online order about 2 hours, TD credit card department called me to verify, then the status changed to "shipped" on the same day. I (ca resident) got the tv in one week. AIT LOGISTICS (shipping company) was fantastic, the guy delivered my TV went above and beyond what was required. |
Does Tiger charge tax? |
Solid deal op, thanks and repped! My first FP Slickdeal!!! UNSC ELEPHANT
My second! Hitman Deals of 2013 10 Coby 32" led tv's TRU $110. Ea 2x UNSC Elephant mega bloks TRU $45. Ea 6x halo mega bloks Phantom $16 ea |
This is the same tv as this thread, but now with the free shipping is 699.

forget getting rebates from Tigerdirect. they are the worst. when I called them they said they a rebate protection program and advised to file e claim over there. i did it but still till today nothing came. I will never ever buy from TD if there is a mail in rebate.
Roughly the same as the 60pa6500 which I have, nice tvs. Note, if you were looking for the panasonic u50, it does not have a swivel stand like this 5500.
Shoulda been FP by now. Sometimes you get the crowd that wants smart features, that way when you don't get firmware updates you have to replace an entire tv instead of a $100 blu ray player. Who named them smart tvs again? Also, tigerdirect is great with getting rebates back to you. I've done over a dozen and have gotten them all. Last edited by woomer051; 02-14-2013 at 12:19 PM.. |
Order was cancelled and cannot get a customer service rep on the phone or in live chat online. Began reading reviews and this sounds like an awful company to order from. Looking to see if the deal and MIR can be found elsewhere. Great deal though, op... just not excited about what's happened during the process of them trying to get me to pay. If it's this difficult to place the order, how difficult will it be to receive the order? Any else have experience with TD?

Before you do this try turning off the pc and re-booting it. Sometimes if your anti-virus starts up a background scan it can cause this problem.

Lung Cancer Drug Dacomitinib Fails Two Phase III Trials
Treatment provides no survival benefit compared with erlotinib or placebo in NSCLC patients (January 27)
Disappointing results have been reported from two randomized phase III studies of an irreversible pan-human epidermal growth factor receptor (pan-HER) kinase inhibitor, dacomitinib (Pfizer), in patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Both trials evaluated dacomitinib in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC. The ARCHER 1009 trial, which included patients previously treated with second- or third-line chemotherapy, did not meet its objective of demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor erlotinib.
Separately, the NCIC CTG BR.26 trial, which included patients with advanced NSCLC after standard treatment with both chemotherapy and an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor had failed, did not meet its objective of prolonging overall survival versus placebo.
An ongoing, third phase III study, ARCHER 1050, is evaluating PFS with dacomitinib in a different patient population than the one studied in ARCHER 1009 and BR26. ARCHER 1050 is comparing dacomitinib and gefitinib in treatment-naïve patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC. The results are expected in 2015.
Dacomitinib irreversibly inhibits the kinase activity of HER1/EGFR, HER2, and HER4 by binding covalently to the receptor tyrosine kinase domains and by preventing autophosphorylation, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling and leading to tumor-growth inhibition and apoptosis.

Shortly after Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger got married, they threatened to release a duet that would effectively combine both of their shitty Canadian sounds into a bro-rock ballad which, after the advent of Justin Bieber, seems like more than enough grounds to start drone-striking hockey stadiums. And now that day is at hand because here's the video for "Let Me Go." So if you'll excuse me, I'll be forming a human shield outside Canadian breweries in case someone at the CIA decides to get creative. (Hockey stadiums, dickface, hockey stadiums. That's the source of their power.)

I'd give her two shiny loonies to touch those canadian honkers.
It sounds so much funnier when you say it in Canadian!
The UN will authorize strikes on dictators in Libya, but not for THIS??
Underneath our polite canuck facade, we've been putting together an enormous "fuck you" to the world. Today, our "fuck you" is born.
What the hell was Celine Dion? A practice run? Cuz I took it as a huge "Fuck You"
And you can have Shatner back too goddamnit
You can have Ted Cruz back too.
Enjoy the Beib :)
Payback for 1812. What's funnier is you opened your doors to the horse trojan horse there ever was!
But, don't think we aren't INCREDIBLY grateful…
I generally can't stand either's music but this is actually a pretty song, for the most part.
Let us step aside from 'merica vs. canada for a second, join hands, and unite in thumbing that shit the fuck down.
That's a pretty long ride all the way up there for me in my medicaid scooter to post a thumbs down – will it register if I just shoot at it from over here?
Fuck off, Avril's Mom.
I'm just happy Miley Cyrus hasn't been featured in days now.
She got her tongue stuck on some rapper's pole, and hasn't been able to talk or twerk for a week now. It's a national tragedy.
Does she live in American now? If so Canada's secret plan to break the will of the American people is working.
Never forget Sk8r Boi. Never forget.
Actually, I thought it was pretty good!
Hockey ARENAS, dickface, hockey ARENAS. Stadiums are where we go to play of brand of shitty football.
Featuring a bizarrely out of place Sony Xperia tablet.
Chad and Avril's brown note duet is going to be the entire world's 9/11.
at least I can lol to their gift registry on celebuzz, anyone over the age of 8 and still wants to drink out of a goblet … http://www.gearys.com/Gearys/Pages/ShopRegistry.aspx?brid=70000623
what Randy said I am impressed that anyone can earn $8834 in one month on the computer. hop over to this website Exit35com
It is actually a pretty good song and video. I hate Chad Kroeger and was hoping it would be bad. He wishes he was as cool or good looking as the old guy in the video. He needs to either shave that creepy goatee he has or commit to being a real man and learn how to grow a mustache and or beard. His look has run its course a long time ago.
He looks like a creepy pedo standing over her. She is so pretty, shame she choose to deface her body with those shitty tattoos.
Did anyone else think "damn that Chad Kroeger dude really IS old" for the first 1 minute 50 seconds? What's that? I'm the only one who even made it past the 1 minute mark…? Damnit!
I don't care what anyone says. Avril is hot. I would have sex with her.
Make fun of these two all you want, but leave ice hockey the fuck alone, as it pertains to your diabolical plan.
Ice hockey? What the fuck is ice hockey? The only time you need to differentiate is when it's NOT played on ice.
"road hockey" – there is also road hockey
In the words of Wayne, "Game on!" -
Roof hockey.
You wrong, hockey stadiums aren't the source of our power. It's our exported Canadian Beer which gets you drunk enough to actually listen to Nickelback and Avril Lavigne songs.
According to the gay hankie code, that old dude likes being fisted.
The joining of these two have created a vortex of suck the likes of which have never been seen. The end times are nigh!
Hockey RINK fuckwit.
I'm going to say what I've come here to say. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. BOO.

AL Central Division
From BR Bullpen
The American League Central Division, often abbreviated AL Central, comprises 5 teams playing in the American League geographically located in the midwestern United States. It was created in 1994, one year after the expansion of 1993, when both leagues moved from two to three divisions.
The American League Central Division has contained the following teams:
1994-1997: Chicago White Sox,Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, and Minnesota Twins.
1998-present: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, and Minnesota Twins.
[edit] Division Champions
- The 1994 postseason was cancelled because of the 1994 strike.
- The Chicago White Sox won a one-game playoff with the Minnesota Twins for the Division title.
- The Minnesota Twins won a one-game playoff with the Detroit Tigers for the Division title.
[edit] Wild Cards
The American League Wild Card team has come from the Central Division only 2 times since 1995:

Believe it or not, that book is somewhere in this room with me as I type this. I have a family member who read it and says it's actually good.
Seriously, I cannot wait to read this. Not only does it have the oddest match up since X Files and Homicide/Law & Order, http://www.poobala.com/homicideandxfiles.html, there is also actor crossover since the actor who played Spock's father had a role in HCTB.
You're welcome! (grin)
We watched the first episode of "Brides" last weekend. I haven't seen it since it was originally on, and no one else in the house had ever seen it before. We all enjoyed it.
My older children had both read Ishmael, and they agreed that Barbara Hambly did a great job of portraying the characters from both series.

Want to know how Michael Fremer is able to tie a story about his baffled plumber into an equipment review? Find out in his report on the Audio Physic Virgo loudspeaker. About the speakers, Mikey writes: "Clearly, the Virgos disappeared, leaving one of the most credible three-dimensional soundstages I've ever experienced in any of my listening rooms over the years."
Thomas J. Norton writes, "When Pioneer commissioned Allen Boothroyd, a British industrial designer best known for his work with Meridian Audio, to come up with a unique appearance for its new surround-sound speaker system, they apparently knew what they didn't want: another boring set of square boxes." The result certainly doesn't "blend into Ethan Allen surroundings," but how does it sound? Better than you might expect, as revealed in TJN's report on the Pioneer Elite Reference loudspeaker system.

Israeli military forces destroyed a cache of Russian missiles that the Syrian government was reportedly prepared to deliver to the militant group Hezbollah, U.S. officials confirmed Thursday.
The officials stressed that the surface-to-surface Russian-made missiles were under Syrian military control in a stockpile at a port near the Russian naval base at Latakia.
The officials said this attack is expected to follow the usual pattern of several other Israeli strikes against Syrian missiles that were apparently on their way to Hezbollah – neither the Israelis, Syrians nor Hezbollah are likely to acknowledge the missiles ever existed or the strike ever occurred.
Hezbollah is believed to have an arsenal of tens of thousands of rockets and missiles in Lebanon, much of the weapons coming through Syria. Hezbollah has controlled the Lebanese government for years and this spring joined the effort to defeat rebels trying to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Hezbollah's presence in Syria is said to have been a key to turning back rebel advances in a two-year war that has left more than 100,000 people dead.
The Israeli Defense Ministry refused comment on the reports of the new attack, Reuters said, but Lebanon's military reported that six Israeli jets flew over Lebanese territory on Wednesday.
Israel has repeatedly struck at targets in Syria this year, including strikes in January, May and July believed to be aimed at missile stockpiles or shipments destined for Hezbollah. It has been unclear what kinds of missiles have been targeted in those attacks.
After an airstrike in May, Israel said it was determined to prevent the transfer of "game-changing weaponry" from the Syrian regime to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel has also accused Iran of arming Assad's government and Hezbollah.

Rogue (Commodore 64)
Published by Released Also For |
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. 1.6
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Rogue is a turn-based dungeon crawler in which the player controls an adventurer who must explore the dangerous Dungeon of Doom in order to retrieve the precious Amulet of Yendor and make it out alive. The player character starts on the upper-most level and slowly makes his way downwards.The game uses ASCII characters to represent locations, items, monsters, and the protagonist himself. There are twenty-six different types of monsters, symbolized by their initial letters (e.g. L for Leprechaun). Monsters have different abilities and modes of attack. The dungeon and the items in it are randomly generated each time the player begins a new game. Each dungeon level contains a grid of three by three rooms and dead ends.
Levels get progressively more complex and maze-like, and monsters grow in strength the deeper the hero ventures into the dungeon. The player character can acquire better weapons and armor, gain experience points and level up. Should the protagonist perish in the dungeon, the player must restart the game anew.
Alternate Titles
- "Rogue: The Adventure Game" -- In-game title (Epyx DOS version)

ABSTRACT: An essential component of functional articular cartilage tissue engineering is a mechano-active scaffold, which responds to applied compression stress and causes little permanent deformation. As the first paper of a series on mechano-active scaffold-based cartilage tissue engineering, this study focused on mechanical responses to various modes of loading of compression forces and subsequent selection of mechano-active scaffolds from the biomechanical viewpoint. Scaffolds made of elastomeric microporous poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) (PLCL) with open-cell structured pores (300 approximately 500 microm) and with different porosities ranging from 71 to 86% were used. The PLCL sponges and rabbit articular cartilage tissue were subjected to compression/unloading tests (0.1 and 0.005 Hz) at 5 kPa, and stress relaxation tests at 10, 30, and 50% strain. The measurements of the maximum strain under loading and residual strain under unloading for compression tests and the maximum stress and equilibrium stress in the stress relaxation test showed that the lower the porosity, the closer the mechanical properties are to those of native cartilage tissue. Among the PLCL sponges, the sponge with 71% porosity appears to be a suitable cartilage scaffold.Tissue Engineering 04/2006; 12(3):449-58. · 4.07 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To fabricate a "mechano-active" tubular scaffold of nonwoven mesh-type small-diameter artificial graft made of the synthetic durable elastomer, segmented polyurethane, the fabrication technique of electrospinning on a mandrel under a high rotation speed and transverse movement was used. Emphasis was placed on how the rotation speed of the mandrel and the fusion or welding states of fibers at contact points affect the compliance (ease of intraluminal pressure-dependent circumferential inflation) and Young's modulus determined by uniaxial stretching in the longitudinal and circumferential directions. The results showed that a high rotation speed is attributed to exhibit isotropic mechanical properties in the entire range of applied strain but reduces the compliance, and a high fusion state, which is produced using a mixed solvent with a high content of high-boiling-point solvent, reduces the compliance but is expected to exhibit high durability in a continuously loaded pulsatile stress field in an arterial circulatory system.Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A 05/2005; 73(1):125-31. · 2.83 Impact Factor

Mugello (Scarperia), 3 November – The Finali Mondiali Ferrari, the event which has traditionally brought the race season to a close, got underway today at Mugello, which plays host for the first time since 2008, after it was held for the last two years at the Valencia circuit. The Mugello track was completely resurfaced, while at the same time significant work was carried out on the infrastructure, with a new central grandstand and a tribute to 150 years of Italian Unity, with the kerbs painted white, red and green, the colours of the Italian flag. There is a busy four day programme, featuring competitors from all four of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli series; Italy, Europe, North America and Asia Pacific fighting for the title of world champion. Also on track, demonstration runs from Ferrari private owner teams competing in international GT series. Even more spectacle is on the cards with Formula 1 cars from the past that have played their part in the history of Scuderia Ferrari, laboratory cars from the exclusive FXX Programme as well as the 599XX extreme sports car designed for track use and therefore free of any need to meet homologation rules. Today, the European and Asia Pacific competitors tackled the first round of qualifying to decide the grid for Race 1 which takes place tomorrow at 14.55. The first European Trofeo Pirelli pole went to Bjorn Grossmann (Ferrari Moscow), who finished ahead of Philipp Baron (Baron Service) and Max Blancardi (Motor/Malucelli). Of those running in the Coppa Shell, Andrii Kruglyk (Ferrari Moscow) set the fastest time, followed by Yannick Mallegol (Motor/Piacenza) and Philippe Prette (Motor/Malucelli). In Asia Pacific series the fastest was the Japanese driver Hisao Shigeta, while in Coppa Shell, the Australian Steve Wyatt set the fastest session lap. The starting grid for the first race of the Italian and North American series of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli finds Matteo Malucelli (Motor/Malucelli) on the number one slot on the grid, followed by Lorenzo Bontempelli (Kessel Racing) and Stefano Gai (Rossocorsa). Best of the gentleman drivers in the Coppa Shell in this first session was Benedetto Marti (Motor/Piacenza), who outpaced Alessandro Vezzoni (Rossocorsa/Pellin) and Raffaele Giannoni (Motor/Piacenza), while in North American series Enzo Potolicchio (Ferrari of FT. Lauderdale) set the fastest time. This will be the final appearance of a long racing career for the F430 Challenge, prior to definitively passing the baton to the 458: quickest of those using the F430 were Alexei Basov (Ferrari Moscow) of the European runners and Riccardo Ragazzi (Ineco Ram) in the Italian series. Tomorrow sees the second qualifying session and the first races that group together the Italian and North American competitors and the European with the Asia Pacific. The Ferrari one-make series will be broadcast in over sixty countries around the world.

New York City police and fire officials were called to the Hearst Tower Wednesday afternoon to rescue two maintenance workers dangling from scaffolding outside the building's 44th floor. As of 7 p.m., sections of West 57th and West 58th Streets remained closed because the scaffolding had yet to be secured, according to a NYPD spokesman.
The emergency happened around 3 p.m., according to a security official at the Hearst Tower. With the Norman Foster building's 44th floor closed, Harper's Bazaar had to postpone Wednesday night's party to celebrate the 14 American nominees for this year's International Woolmark Prize. Guests were notified shortly before 5 p.m. that Glenda Bailey and Reed Krakoff would not be toasting Joseph Altuzarra, Bibhu Mohapatra, Ohne Titel, Timo Weiland and the others as planned. A new date has not yet been scheduled for the event.
A Harper's Bazaar spokeswoman said, "The 44th floor has been closed for window repairs, and we are thankful for the efforts of both the NYFD and NYPD. It's business as usual here."

Day 1:
The morning was simply lovely; the cottages looked like a picture. We found out that there is a swimming pool near our cottage. This hotel has 10 three star resorts in Sri Lanka & Maldives. They are very much professional with their service. You gotta be amazed with everything.
We had a grand buffet breakfast costing $4 (SLR 360 each). The European standard food was excellent. The Indian and other teams are coming in the next early morning for the conference, so we had a day off with nothing to do. It was heartbreaking to hear that 12th and 13th are holidays for the Sri Lankan new-year. Office and shops are closed. We walked almost 3 kms to Airport to change dollars for some local currency. The lady at the Sri Lankan tourism promotion booth at the airport suggested that we go to Negomba, a beach area 12 km from the Airport. But arriving there we found out that it was a bad choice. The beach was occupied the beachside resorts and there were thick sands and scorching sunlight, extremely hot and humid conditions making everybody unable to walk even in the sand. There is nothing appealing in the beach. People were going to the water, but I don't believe they were enjoying in this heat. There were a few local boat rides, but the scorching heat had already taken the toll of Pawan's energies and he was no feeling good. We went to an Internet Cafe to mail home, where floppies are not allowed. 15 minutes went in no time costing 5 SL Rupees per minute.
We were seeking lunch options from the flurry of restaurants in that place. The problem is that Pawan is a vegetarian, and these restaurants do not have veg menus. Finally we went to a Chinese restaurant to have vegetable fried rice, which was awful including the fish item I took. Waste of SLR 520. We headed then straight back to the hotel for some rest. At least the room has air-conditioning.
Had a quiet afternoon in the room. It rained in the evening. I sat in the balcony for sometime. It was a great feeling. No work no tension, just enjoying the rain. We had dinner at the hotel. Did I tell you before that the food is hereexcellentt. They charge SLR 600 ($6) for buffet per person. But there were atleast 25 items including dessert. Pawan could find his veg meals (although he missed most of the good tastes). I ate to my hearts content. There were to guys playing music with guitar & congo. Theambiancee wasexcellentt. Most of the visitors here areEuropeann & Japanese. We were the onlyAsianss here.
Then we watched TV at the lounge. Me and Pawan watched eagerly the cricket match between England & West Indies. Lara has broken the record for highest runs in the test cricket. We were witness to that exciting moment.
I could get the only computer at the business center of the hotel free at 11.00 PM. Tomorrow morning we will be heading towards Kandy when the rest of our team comes. Hope to bring you the details too.
Now I am going to sleep. Good night.

Speakers At Forrester's Customer Experience Forum EMEA Show That They're On The Path To Customer Experience Maturity
Posted by Harley Manning on December 6, 2013
Last month it was my pleasure to host Forrester's Forum For Customer Experience Professionals EMEA in London. The theme for the event was "boost your customer experience to the next level," which we picked because we know that attendees of our events are at widely (sometimes wildly!) different levels of customer experience maturity.
What is "customer experience maturity"? We define it as the extent to which an organization routinely performs the practices required to design, implement, and manage customer experience in a disciplined way. In other words, does the organization apply the same level of business discipline to customer experience as it does to well-established business practices like marketing, logistics, and accounting?
In our study of how companies become mature at the practices in the customer experience discipline, we've discovered that successful firms all follow the same path, which passes through four phases:
- Repair. Companies find broken experiences, fix them, and measure the results.
- Elevate. Firms start to adopt practices that lead them to deliver sound experiences in the first place.
- Optimize. Companies become systematic at customer experience practices.
- Differentiate. Firms reframe business challenges in the context of unmet customer needs, connect innovation ideas to their customer experience ecosystem, and infuse innovations with the brand.
The speakers at our CX Forum EMEA illustrated how this progression is playing out at their companies. Because half of our attendees said that their companies are in the repair phase, let's start with the example of Gary Sharples, group complaints and transformation director at Barclays Africa Group. Barclays Africa could be the poster child for repair phase excellence.
The company started on its CX repair phase effort because a rising number of customer complaints proved that it had a problem. In January 2013, Barclays Africa received 18,330 customer complaints, 18,270 of which were rejected or closed not in favor of the customer. Were most customers complaining unfairly? No — when the customers with rejected complaints escalated to an ombudsman, on average 50% of the complaints were decided in the customers' favor. What's more, the cost of resolving an escalated complaint ran as high as ZAR 7,500 (about $720).
Imagine if just half of those 18,270 rejected customers appealed to the ombudsman, and the average cost of their appeals to Barclays was just half of the maximum amount ($360). The bank would be looking at a run rate of more than $3.2 million per month to cover the cost of the appeals process alone!
The company concluded that it was generating too many complaints, not handling the complaints effectively, wasting money, and making customers unhappy in the process. Lose, lose, lose, and lose.
Barclays' solution to the problem centered on a disciplined approach to customer experience. It conducted customer-centric research and applied diagnostics to the results. That generated insights that let it to understand the root causes of its problems. It also gave the company the raw material needed to create customer journey maps, touchpoint maps, and environment maps that made the nature of the problems clear to employees — as well as what they needed to do in order to solve those problems.
Finally, Gary and his team hired training firms Blue Sky and Trainiac to change employee behavior. The employees were receptive: For the most part, they wanted to do right by customers but simply hadn't known how.
The ongoing effort is paying off. As employees learn how to take specific customer-centric actions, Barclays has already measured a 36% year-over-year reduction in customer complaints and a 44% year-over-year increase in compliments.
In future blog posts, I'll write about some of our other European speakers and how they illustrate other phases of the path to customer experience maturity. For now, I'll end with a few pieces of advice for all those companies that are in the repair phase of the path to customer experience maturity.
- Start with a disciplined approach to understanding your customers. Don't just settle for data (even big data). Go out into the field to interview customers, observe them, and discover what's really bothering them (and how much).
- Conduct root cause analysis to discover the things that you do that cause those problems. You'll probably get a surprise. For example, a complaint about an inaccurate bill is often caused by an accurate bill presented through a poorly designed interface — whether paper or online — that the customer didn't understand.
- Measure, measure, measure. Unless you know how big a customer experience problem is and how much money it costs your firm, funding a fix is an uphill battle. And when you do launch a fix, make sure you measure the results. That not only keeps you honest but also builds up a store of data you'll need to get support when you enter the much more challenging next phase: elevate.

Maine-made Kate's butter rates culinary kudos
Kate's Homemade Butter said today that it was presented with a first prize in the all-important unsalted butter category.
The award was presented by officials at the 2008 World Dairy Expo Championship after Kate's earned a score of 98.8 out of a possible 100, the Maine company said.
The event was held in Wisconsin, where the local cuisine rarely features fewer than two cheese sauces and the making of dairy products is esteemed as an art form.
The dairy event drew more than "60,000 attendees from around the globe," Kate's noted in a press release. (At left is an image of an expo exhibit taken from World Dairy Expo's website.)
Kate's "sweet-cream butter is made fresh daily in small batches from pasteurized cream by the Patry family in Old Orchard Beach, Maine," that press release added. "The family's heritage dates back four generations to the turn of the 20th century in nearby Minot, Maine."

Squier II MIK P bass neck?? I posted this in the Luthier's corner but didn't get enough feedback. I have a MIM P bass and it has a rosewood fretboard but I really want a maple. My buddy has a Squier 2 with a maple neck and IT LOOKS PRETTY NICE TO BE A SQUIER. But I was wondering.... 1. He wants to sell it for $80.. is it worth it? 2. Are these good quality, durable necks? 3. Will it fit? And if so.. am I looking to get another set up? |
He's your buddy--try it. |
$80 is an OK price. They can be great necks, they tend to have a flatter radius than typical Fender/Squier necks. Typically the maple is nice and hard on these, but like any other neck it's a good ideal to check the truss rod, etc. I've not tried fitting one on an MIM, they fit just fine on MIJ Fenders/Squiers. It's safe to say you're going to need a set-up...anytime you switch necks. If you happen to slap a different neck on a bass and don't need to adjust anything you should buy a few Lotto tickets. (These are MIK Squier II necks I'm talking about) |
The price is seems fair to me. I've had good success swapping Squier/Fender necks. I just put a Jazz Neck on a Squier VM Jazz bass and I didn't have to do a set up. It's worth it for you to learn to do a set up if you don't know how yet. It really isn't that hard. Good luck! |
The neck heel on the MIK might be a little smaller than the MIM. I recently put a newer Squier neck on a MIK Squier II body, and the neck pocket had to be widened a little. |
I have a Squier II P bass w/ maple neck. I swapped the neck onto my CIJ P 62 reissue P bass body for a few months just for kicks. It was a fine fit, there was a bit of a neck gap, but it was secure and the playability was fine. Not sure if that helps or not...but... The playability of the Squier II isn't the best. It's a wider, flatter neck. Glossy finish. If he's throwing in the tuners, it's definitely worth the 80 bucks IMO. Play it first, see how you like it if you can. |
