Judged: 3 2 1 |
Judged: 2 2 I was promised a morning pick-up, then told "between noon and 2," then told "another hour or 2," then they did not show up at all! They arrived the next morning, and despite having filled-out an extensive item invoice online was told that my items exceeded the weight and cubic footage that the estimate ($1,175) allowed for. In addition, I was told that all glass would have to be crated, and all furniture RE-wrapped (not to mention the $100 "elevator fee"), to the tune of almost DOUBLE the estimate. The driver was kind enough to reveal that contrary to my understanding, once the truck is loaded it is NOT driven directly to the next address, but rather stored in a warehouse until some unknown future delivery date. I was abandoned, insulted, neglected, abused, mistreated, and victimized. The only peace of mind I could take from this experience would be if they go out of business. |

Judged: 3 2 2 with a truck that was way too small. Then couldn't get in communication with anyone from the Company to send out a bigger truck....3 hours later still waiting, finally new truck comes and they begin to start wrapping furniture. Now mind you they were suppose to be at the house no later than 9:00 am and they showed up at 12:30....now its around 4:30(and we should have been done) but we are just starting...and when I say WE I mean WE. They only had 3 guys there to load and wrap and they were 3 lazy guys on top of that. Now its 5 0'clock and they want to break for lunch...hmmmmmmm? Needless to say: this Company was so lame, they didn't finish until almost 2 am. That being said they got into town 2 days before us...I think my furniture got moved around and several things were broken....OH and did I mention we paid them almost $3,000.00 dollars more than the original quote. I just wanted them gone and out of my life. Peace of mind, my butt...they were a piece alright, a real piece of work. DONT USE this company...spare yourself the anguish and hire Mayflower, or anybody but them. |
Judged: 2 1 -Non responsiveness. -Immensely delayed shipments -Dramatically inaccurate time estimates -Rude staff, rude drivers -Hidden, outlandish extra charges. -Inconsiderate delivery times -Moving your own stuff into your house/apartment. I was given the run around by the people at this company regarding when my shipment would arrive. I received estimates of arrival that were constantly wrong and being changed. The woman who was my contact was hard to reach, she would send an e-mail when she didnt want to talk to you but then not reply to them when you tried to reach her. Then, when the driver finally got to my city he tried to charge me an extra 250 for a truck that was smaller, this ended up being documented but was hardly explained in an up front and candid manner. Once I got the guy to finally show up at my place, at 8:30pm even though he told me the day before it would be between 3 and 4, he arrived with no help to move my stuff from his truck up the 2 flights of stairs to my apartment. I had to carry half of my stuff (or risk having to be up until after midnight waiting for him to move my things into the apartment). When it came time to pay him, he told me I could only pay in cash (when the stuff was picked up I used my credit card, why was it disallowed on delivery). Aside from having to move my own stuff into the apartment and the driver being late to deliver my stuff, when I received it, a lot of my things were damaged. I have a dent in my wooden desk top, my bed frame has been scratched to hell from the moving truck, and my bed was not wrapped so it arrived extremely dirty. The bed was particularly alarming because they wrapped it when it was picked up. They also wrapped all the pieces of the bed frame. When the pieces arrived, none of them were wrapped and they were all damaged. Aside from just poor service this company will also charge you for having to "walk long distances" and "go up more than 7 steps". I imagine that is somewhat reasonable, but on top of poor service it was really just the last straw. Find another company, do not put your belongings into these peoples care because they will not treat you or your things with respect.(I got a glimpse into the moving truck when I had to move my own stuff, and I can tell you the way they transport things is an atrocity.) Please learn from my mistakes and do not give these people your money or business. |
Judged: 1 1 They packed my things and estimated it would take about a week. So I went on moved to Kansas and waited. I called after the first week and asked for Michelle because I was upset with all the charges I received, and emailed her also. It was as if Michelle had died, because Natalie a woman who claimed to be the manager was now answering the calls, and emails I sent. She was extremely rude and snide with me. Sounded like a young girl, brat who maybe was someone's daughter and thought she could speak to people in any way she wanted. The whole time of 4 weeks that I was waiting they could not tell me where my stuff was, when it was coming, or anything. She was ALWAYS in meetings they said, and she never returned phone calls. I was TOLD she is the ONLY person at the company with access to dispatch to relay me the information. SHE never had ANY information for me. Which I found unprofessional, they had no idea when they could give me a date. Finally my stuff arrived September 28,2011 exactly one month from the pick up date. They were in possession of my things and anyone who wouldn't worry about that is strange. My bins came in smashed, furniture dinged, and in bad condition. I was so ready to be done with this TERRIBLE company I never even called to make a claim. PLEASE PLEASE USE SOMEONE ELSE. They are ripping people off, they are not a peace of mind but complete hassle, unprofessional people, and no one is college educated it seems. They have no regard that YOUR BELONGINGS ARE IN THEIR CARE. I wouldnt reccomend them to my worst enemy. Please GO WITH SOMEONE, ANYONE ELSE. |

Judged: 1 Peace of Mind was very convincing at the outset - when soliciting my business. In reality very very sloppy/unprofessional,unqualif ied and inexperienced movers; threw my items in boxes - no rhyme or reason to the boxes, no labeling, exorbitant rate hike (once all the items were in the truck!) Prior to the weekend of the scheduled delivery (02/18/2012) I had asked the woman in charge of delivery to call me - confirming day/time. "I promise I'll call " she said on Thursday the 17th of February" - there was no call returned - the driver of the moving truck called the morning of the 18th and indicated he was on the way. I was totally unprepared - Peace of Mind did not accept credit cards or checks. It had to be cash. So I indicated that the next day or another day would be better. The driver said he would call me back - he never did. That same night (at 08:30pm at night!) Peace of Mind called me, threatening to "store" my items (at a cost to me) unless I agreed to accept deliver at 09:30pm at night(!) on the 18th of February. I had to desperately head out to go get the cash from a late night ATM. When the delivery arrived many items were either lost or damaged, the re-assembling of the furniture (per the agreement) did not happen. The driver left without assembling many of the items. Damage List: 1) BIke (lost) 2) Filing Cabinet - dented 3) Coffee Table - damaged/dented 4) Dresser - all legs broken! 5) Chairs - legs missing (cannot use!) 6) Book shelf holders missing (cannot use!) 7) Broken urban rebounder (cannot use!) 8) Broken Knife set (I had used these carefully for > 8 years).. I am sure I'll find other items lost(stolen) or damaged as I go along. And in the end, the actual cost was 2000.00 more! than originally anticipated. I really should have read ALL the other reviews on the internet before I went with this outfit. There are many many victims of this company. They apply tactics of coercion/threats/fraud to force large sums of money from the customer AND provide the cusotmer with shoddy, unprofessional and terrible service.. it's a pattern. Read the reviews *everywhere* on the web. It's terrible that the CA attorney general permits CA residents to suffer the horrors of dealing with this company. Here is the Better Business Bureau rating on this company: http://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/business-revi... - F!!!! I urge you NEVER to use this company. It's a horrible scam/I feel violated that these thieves even touched my stuff. ugh! And a previous reviewer is right. The initial person you speak with (in my case "mary") just disappears and you are left to deal with Natalie - the banshee from hell.:( |
I had the same terrible experience, this is the most unprofessional group of people I have ever encountered. They broke open my boxes and stole from me, damaged my things, and were rude and insulting. When they came to get my stuff I should have told them to leave but they already had a 200 deposit. They were smug and grinning when they delivered (I guess they were proud they had stolen and broken my things). I have hired a lawyer and am taking legal action!! Who is smug now :)
I am experiencing everything u did and more right now. They have held my furniture and possessions for more than 45 days holding it hostage until I pay additional fees. Scam is another word for Israelis. I worked for one for about 20 years. Lawsuits and threats don't phase them. They protect themselves to well or shut down and open up somewhere else. They only understand one thing. And it's about to happen. Stay tuned. This is going to be fun |
WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!! The should shut their doors and do everyone a big favor. Everyone that works there is rude and unprofessional. Original quote was $3500 and had to pay $6000 + to get my stuff moved. Lots of broken stuff, scuffed up walls in new house, broken thermostat in new house, and lost some of our things. Every box marked fragile or glass was loaded on to the truck under all the other boxes. I even had a wardrobe box with all our good clothes in it end up being crushed down to the size of a small box because it had a table stacked on top of it??? I could go on forever about how bad they are. Even the driver of the subcontracted truck was surprised at how the trailer was loaded. That is a good point to make also, they do not employ any drivers for more than local moves and do not even have their own trucks. After our stuff was packed in one truck they moved it to another trailer (without letting us know) and had a subcontractor bring it cross country. The subcontractor was more professional and nice than anyone that works at that company.
Broken item: Full box of coffee cups (cups from vacations) Corning cooking dish (belonged to Mom) Art easel (present for daughter from a teacher) Flat screen TV stand Wine glasses Crock pot Candy dish (Christmas present from daughter to Mom) clothes washer and dryer (who loads these upside down in a truck!!!!!!!) THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!!!!!!!! Lost items: Personalized Louisville Slugger bat from family vacation. Air compressor Cisco router that was packed into a box with other items and that is the only thing missing from the box??????? We even ended up with someone's original print and they said "o well". I would like to return it to the owner, but don't know how to do it and this company said they don't care about that. |
worst moving experience ever. arrived 4 hrs. late, unprofessional crew, hundreds of dollars in damages and they offered me $125.00. by accident they took with them a very new, high end dolly (my friends) and returned a very cheap, old dolly. very unprofessional and a total nightmare.
This company has an F rating with the BBB. The problem is that they have cleverly registered their company in Houston Texas as well and have been given an A rating.
When you google "peace of mind relocation BBB" the A rating in Houston comes up and the F rating in Santa Barbra is no where to be found. The company is located in Los Angeles. The following is the link to the F rating. http://www.santabarbara.bbb.org/business-revi... The A rating with Houston BBB link is as follows: http://www.bbb.org/houston/business-reviews/m... The owners of this company have also operated as Big Sam Transportation which has a C rating with the BBB. The link is : http://www.la.bbb.org/business-reviews/Moving... I would also just like to make this point. How many of you go on the internet and write a good review for a company, especially a moving company. Most people expect good service, and when you get it you don't feel the need to write reviews on the net. It is only when you have a bad experience that most people are compelled to take the time to get on the internet and write a review, so that you can warn others, that they won't be screwed like you were. That being said I would suggest that most good reviews written on the net are composed by the business themselves trying to counter the damage done by the bad reviews. Take them with a grain of salt. Just sayin...... Take advantage of the web and do your homework! |

Judged: 1 Right Start Moving was the sole reason our move was stressful. We were told 5 days in a row that our stuff would arrive in a few hours, not seeing our things day after day after day. We took off work, lost income and were completely stressed out for days. I called the driver day after day with no response and when I did get ahold of him he was no where near our town or state. I called the office DAILY and was told EVERY TIME that dispatch was not there and my call would be returned. NEVER WAS MY CALL RETURNED. The other people in the office said there was NOTHING they could do to help me. Finally, 5 days after we originally were told our things would arrive "in a few hours", and 10 days after the move, our belongings were delivered. Boxes were crushed, opened, destroyed, leaking and ripped. They had obviously been handled several times, with no regard or respect. After our spilled, messy boxes were delivered the drivers left, informing us they dont even work for your company which was in no way disclosed to us when we signed the contract. They had never even herd of your company. After they left we realized pieces of our furniture were missing, the top to the desk, hardware for the desk and several pieces of our disassembled bookshelf. As we waited for the drivers to return I frantically began checking all boxes for any missing merchandise only to find we had a few boxes that were NOT EVEN OURS. This was so disturbing and made me very uneasy. They are supposed to inventory EVERYTHING, thats how they sell you their services. Obviously they do a poor job of that, if even doing it at all. 2 hours later the drivers arrived, we got our desk and furniture pieces, and gave them the boxes that were not ours. We had over 10 glassware products that were shattered, a whole box of kitchen things that had to be tossed because the box was so severely damaged everything in it was destroyed. Last night we realized that one of our collector skateboards is missing out of a box that had hardware pieces in it. The box was taped slightly open. This is INFURIATING because that is worth a ton of money and your company stole it from us. This was THE WORST company i have ever contracted with. They are only nice to your clients BEFORE they sign a contract.I was working with Esther, she was so very nice before I signed the contract, after that she would not speak to me. After that you are on your own. I am going to blast this review, plus more on every review site I can find. My hope is to prevent ANYONE willing to do research on yo to contract with Right Start Moving. They are THE worst company I have ever had to deal with. http://www.pe acerelocati Please do your homework and look into Peace of Mind Moving Relocation Services. They are owned by the same guy as Right Start Moving. They are about to go under because of so many lawsuits against them. The same owner had to shut down his last moving company as well because of lawsuits (Big Sam Moving). READ THESE TESTIMONIALS: http://www.topix.com/for http://www.trustlink.org The owner Keren Sadafi is known as an Israeli Scammer. DO NOT USE ANY OF HIS COMPANIES! You will regret it. I also find it suspicious you cant find any reviews on Right Start Moving.... If I could give them ZERO or negative stars I would.\ |
YOU OBVIOUSLY WORK THERE. No one would ever recommend this company. |
Keren Sadafi is a woman. If you deal with her she often uses different names. She owned Big Sam Relocation, then Peace of Mind Relocation and it no appears she owns Right Start Moving. She has been suspended from owning any moving companies by the US Department of Transportation for at a minimum of one year to 36 months. If she is operating a moving company it is in violation of a court order an judgment. Turn her in to the US Department of Transportation. Don't let her get away with running another rip off company that preys upon the public.

Cute but poor tail design
By GlaDOS from Midlothian, IL on 10/28/2011
Comfortable, Cute, Fits Well, Lots of Fun
Incomplete, No way to attach tail, Poor Design, Tail hangs poorly
Best Uses:
Costume Party, Wear To School/Work
Describe Yourself:
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Deluxe Bunny Ears & Tail Black/White:
The ears were really cute, but there is no way to attach the tail to whatever you are wearing. It just comes with a loop. Short of sewing the tail to the outfit, it hangs very loosely and rather pathetically.

iPhone 4 from Europe in South Korea
Kwopau, also if your cousin has a store near Busan, I would be more than willing to give his store my business in helping me solve the situation if possible. Thanks!iPhone 4, iOS 4

Unfortunately, my mother's cousin lives in Seoul, and works in Seoul, as he does not have any affiliation in Busan.
I'm not sure if you are Korean and can read Korean but here is a site, officially from KTF:
Korea now unlocks the iphone purhcased in Korea, you will have to call "Show" KTF and find out from there.
Now as for your post, I'm sure there is a place to register the foreign iphone IMEI, but it does run you about 300,000 won to do that. I would not know if it would work back in France or in Europe or even other country.
IMHO...I would just buy the iphone in Korea, get it unlocked by Show and then you can guarantee that it will work anywhere else, and sell the one you have now.HP Pavilion DV2812tx, HP DV4-1504tx, Windows 7, iPod Hi-Fi, iPhone 4 32 GB Black-

There is GOOD NEWS for people with iPhones bringing them into Korea!
As long as it's factory unlocked, you CAN get your iPhone to work in Korea. The best way is to go to a KT global store and first have your iPhone's IMEI registered into the Korean directory. This is NOW FREE, one foreign IMEI registration per person. Then you should be able to proceed in getting a micro sim card and catching network signal, again, assuming your iPhone is factory unlocked. No extra fees. It's just like activating a new phone in Korea, except you don't have to pay for a phone since you have your iPhone.
I bought my iPhone in France and am currently using it in Korea. It works fine! Regards~

Thank you, Kyu Kim, for the FANTASTIC news. My Korean students here in China have been [playfully] taunting me that I will have to pay 600,000 krw to use my iPhone when I move to Suwon in July. Do you have a link to support the information you provided about the KT global store? I'd love to have the last laugh with my kids at the end-of-the-year class party :-D

Nevermind, Kyu Kim. Thanks to your excellent information, I was able to locate the link myself (in English, no less!)
However, I am curious, Kyu Kim: you purchased the phone in France which is a GSM network, right? But you have no difficulty using it in Korea? I thought that Korea was working exclusively on CDMA networks. Does this not matter with a 3G phone?
Like (0)
You're correct nsudburo. All iPhones from 3GS on will work in Korea as long as your 3G is on. CDMA exclusive iPhones will NOT work in Korea as all Korean phones take SIM cards.
As the expat KT blog will tell you, your best bet is to go straight to a olleh KT 'global store' to get you a Korean micro SIM, registered, and activated on the network.
Best of luck.

SHOW (which is now Olleh) is an operator that uses W-CDMA but no GSM. Korea and Japan are probably the only countries in the world where the W-CDMA operators do not have any GSM network.

While SantaSinghIN may be correct, olleh (KT) does support iPhones with micro-SIM cards meaning any factory unlocked phone with a SIM slot should technically work in Korea: my own case being a legitimate example.

Hi Kwopau,
I understand that your topic is about getting iPhone in other country and unlock in Korea, but my question is actually the other way around and hope someone could answer it:
Is iPhone 4S from KT & SK Telekom officially unlocked and can be use in other country? I am working in Seoul now, and will be back to my country (Malaysia) 3 months later. I wanted to buy an iPhone 4S here, but would it be a problem if i go back my country and insert Malaysia's sim card?
Can Korean iPhone 4S it be used worldwide?
Like (0)
It is my understanding that most newer phones in Korea on both KT and SK come unlocked, however I have not been able to verify this. Since both telecom companies have international service now, you are best off asking their customer service.
What you need to ask is if Korean iPhone 4S comes factory unlocked.
Another possible method to test whether the Korean iPhones come unlocked is to try this: I would assume if you can stick an SK SIM card in a KT iPhone, or vice-versa, and it works, then it is in fact unlocked.
Best of luck, and safe travels back to Malaysia.

Hi Kyu Kim,
Thanks for your advise, i will try to check it tomorrow. Actually i walked into a SK shop today and talked to the sales person but it's after 6p.m. (customer service closes at 6p.m.), and found it very difficult to communicate as they don't really understand what am I saying.
Guess what...i tried the best gesture....and found that the worst part is they do not allow for any testing on sim card before buying the phone, so I have no way to test unless i buy it....
Anyhow, i will try to talk to the customer service again....thanks...:)

It's not SK, but I think this might be helpful:

The team had only four losses on the year, all against ranked opponents: #6 Auburn, #10 Florida, #14 Minnesota and #24 LSU.
Sophomore Christy Cech has won the 50 Free in every meet this year and the 100 Free in all meets except LSU.

200 Free Relay: 4th- 1:32.89
400 Free Relay: 5th- 3:23.98
800 Free Relay: 3rd-7:28.06
400 Medley Relay:
Head Coach Neil Harper
Head Coach Neil Harper returns to Florida State after spending two years as the head coach of the women's swim team at Ohio State University. At the helm of the Lady Buckeye squad, Harper posted a 15-12 record and had six ladies qualify for the NCAA Championships. The squad was also named an NCAA All-American Academic Team and 20 swimmers were named to the All-Big Ten Academic team.
Before heading to Ohio State, Harper spent three years as an assistant coach for the men's and women's programs at Florida State. His responsibilities included recruiting and coordinating the strength and conditioning programs as well as working closely with the individual medley and stroke groups. During his time at FSU, Harper coached 17 NCAA All-Americans as well as FSU's first National Champion, Stephen Parry, who won the 200 Butterfly in 1997. He was also an intrigal part of the 1997 men's Top 10 finish and the women's Top 30 finish.
After graduating from LSU, Harper served as an assistant coach for the men's and women's programs at his alma mater. From 1988-94, he coached 21 swimmers to NCAA All-America honors and coached seven Southeastern Conference champions.
During his years as a Tiger, Harper was a seven event All-American, won four SEC individual titles and as a senior, captained the team to the conference title. He competed in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics on the 400 meter medley relay, finishing sixth in the Los Angeles Olympics and fourth in the Seoul Olympics.
Harper is a member of the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) and the College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).
Harper and his wife Paige, who as an NCAA All-American and SEC breastroke champion at LSU, have been married for nine years and have two daughters Katherine (5) and Kelly (3).
"We're really coming together as a team. I would have to say this season has been successful with improving our swims. There were some bumps and bruises along the way but we've come through it with a lot of confidence. We can hold our heads high, seeing as we competed well against the ranked teams and beat the teams we were supposed to beat. We're looking at potentially having the best season ever for FSU women's swimming."
The ACC Championships...
"We've got this confidence about us right now since we've competed so well this season. There is an air about FSU swimming and this team, an air of confidence, that this team hasn't had in a while. They have the confidence not only in themselves but in each other."
First season back at FSU...
"My family has had fun being back in Tallahassee and at FSU. This has been a great year for FSU sports and women's swimming is no exception. It's been exciting to see the changes since I've left and how things have developed. I've just enjoyed being here."

Chocolate Cookie Muffins Recipe
I'm always on the lookout for new ways to make muffins. This fun version includes crushed cream-filled chocolate cookies in the batter. They're a double treat - like eating muffins and cookies at the same time.
-Jan Blue, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 16 Oreo cookies. coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 5 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 2 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup vanilla or white chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in chopped cookies. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full.
- For topping, combine the flour, sugar and crushed cookies. Cut in the butter until crumbly; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon over each muffin. Bake at 400° for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
- In a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt vanilla chips and shortening until smooth. Drizzle over cooled muffins. Yield: 1 dozen.

These muffins are delicious! The top tends to be quite crumbly however, but the mufffins are moist and delectable! The crumbled oreo cookie inside and on top adds to the fun!
Reviewed Mar. 21, 2010
I skipped the white chip drizzle. The topping is very messy and the muffins stick to the papers. Very moist on the inside and, surprisingly, not TOO sweet.

Save your oreos to eat alone!
Reviewed Jan. 30, 2008
I was looking for a chocolate chip muffin recipe when I found this one. As I had some cookies handy that had been untouched for a while I thought I'd try this recipe. I used less cookies and more sugar and butter; I left off the topping aswell as no-one in my house likes icing. They were delicious! Thanks!

Providence used its patented smothering defense and a dominant rebounding performance to defeat Floyd Central 43-31 on Joe Hinton Court Saturday night.
The Class 2A No. 8 Pioneers held the home team to 32 percent shooting and won the boards 32-16 to knock off the Highlanders in back to back seasons for the first time since 2005 and 2006.
"They wanted to play an aggressive game to disrupt us and they sure did," Providence head coach Lou Lefevre. "They made it the kind of game they wanted to. It was slow and phsyical and they did a great job disrupting us. If they would have a hit a few more shots they would have won the game."
Early on it was Floyd's defense stealing the show as the Pioneers didn't score until a Dalton Duley bucket at 4:57 in the first period.
Duley, who scored a game-high 14, went on to score seven of his team's nine first quarter points as the visitors led 9-5 at the end of one.
"Coming into the game, we didn't want Duley to get off," Highlanders coach Randy Gianfagna said, "and I thought Jackson (Logsdon) did a good job on him until late when we fouled him and that was the one guy we didn't want to foul."
The Pioneers opened the second frame with an 8-0 run capped by a Nano Grantz basket for a 17-5 lead with 5:03 remaining in the second stanza. Floyd regrouped to compile a first half ending 7-3 spurt and closed within 20-12 at intermission. Codie Hamsley, who led the Highlanders, with 11 and had six blocked shots on the night, scored seven
of his team's 12 first half points.
"We went into halftime on a downer," Lefevre said. "We were up 20-7 and turned it over on some kind of stupid play and they hit a few shots. But we just told the kids to relax that we're up eight points and we just need to play tougher in the second half."
Providence pushed its lead to 30-20 at heading to the fourth as four different Pioneers found the scoring column in the third. Floyd didn't committ a turnover in the period but was unable to capitalize on its surehandedness, hitting just 4-of-11 third period shots.
Trailing by 11 midway through the final quarter, the Highlanders' Allen Truong and Colton Kimm hit back to back 3s to bring the host within 34-29 with 3:41 left prompting a Providence timeout.
"At that point, I told them I wanted them to burn 30 seconds and then attack," Lefevre said of the timeout discussion. "We got fouled and hit our free throws. We hadn't been hitting our free throws this year, but we did better at that tonight."
Providence outscored Floyd 9-2 the rest of the way to remain undefeated on the season. The Pioneers hit 12-of-17 free throws, including 9-of-13 in the fourth. Floyd shot just two free throws, making one.
"We showed some fight tonight. I just asked the guys, where has that been?" said Gianfagna, whose team is off to its worst start since 2008. "My big thing right now is this is three games in a row that we're not getting to the free throw line. I think we only got four free throws at New Albany, only four last night [at Columbus East], and then only two tonight. So that means we're just being aggressive enough to get to the line."
Saturday night marked the second straight season in which Providence has won its first six games to start the year.
"Winning can sometimes be a terrible thing for a high school team's progress," Lefevre said. "As they're winning the kids just don't feel the need to do anything better than they did last time. We were 6-0 last year going into Christmas and the we got smacked in three of the next five games. We'll see what happens this season."
Floyd is back in action Saturday night at home versus Scottsburg. Providence next hits the court Dec. 28 in the Silver Creek Holiday Tournament. The Pioneers will face Charlestown in the first game of the opening round, following by the host Dragons against Class 2A No. 4 Clarksville.

Comments by Durvin
My first thought: cat. Not everybody considers them people, I guess.
With the spelling "redonkulous", it appears in "The BFG" by Roald Dahl, from 1982.
I don't know that this is where the popular usage comes from, but this is used by "The BFG", written back in 1982.
A word coined by James Joyce, meaning the apparatus used by a spiritualist.
Suggestion: Ubekibekibekistanstan.
I think it may have actually been coined by the Simpsons, making it one of several words from the show that have wound up entering the language ("d'oh", "cromulent", "embiggen", "unpossible", and Nelson's laugh). Has anybody heard it in a source earlier than that?
Is anybody aware of "tiny" meaning something in gang slang? I was looking at that bizarre list from the FBI of all the known gangs active in the United States, and I kept seeing things like "Tiny Papi Squad" and "Tiny Rascal Gangsters" (and others I didn't write down because they weren't so bizarre)--often enough that it seems like it must mean something.
This may have been a term of endearment at some point, but as it is also a brand name of portable toilets, users may want to consider another.
This word was coined on the series "Will & Grace" by the character Jack during a game of Scrabble. He claimed it was a synonym for "spritz", saying that when he got up every morning he "spramped" his face with water.
An interjection used to indicate a dazed state, often due to viewing an especially attractive person.
As we see from the quotes, though, there is another definition; it's some sort of amorphous, arhythmic music played mostly on rock instruments, I think. I've heard some of Captain Beefheart's stuff described with it. Based on the word, you can probably guess what it sounds like.
"ur" meaning original, primal, and "pflanze" meaning plant.
For most of my life I pronounced it "ta-BUR-na-cull" and "DEB-a-cull" and didn't believe people when they corrected me with "TA-bur-NACK-l" and "duh-BAHK-l".
If you want to see a hideous, hideous picture of one, take a look at Wikipedia. The term is a corruption for 'jeune d'Anvers', or 'young girl from Antwerp', but I can't figure out why they would call this that, unless Antwerp girls were TERRIFYINGLY HIDEOUS.
Not actual words, but thanks to a company that makes them in the shapes of sports equipment, the store where I work occasionally calls them "snow drives," "skate drives," and "surf drives."
I had always heard the 'hooks' were just old slang for 'hands.'
I'm just glad to see there's a reason why one of the Final Fantasy games translated an insult as "you spoony bard!"
I found this awesome word on World Wide Words, and he says it goes back at least to 1992. No real record of its inception exists, but I'm guessing it's just a sniglet meaning "nitpicky, minute, pointless" such as "I want to add just one nitnoid detail" or "I like Facebook but people keep adding these stupid nitnoid comments like 'LOL' and 'OMG me too!'"


text: This very rare KGW film and interview from the 1960's is of Molt Taylor and his Aerocar - the only certified airplane in history that could also drive on our highways. Designed and built by Mr. Taylor in Longview, Washington, it could cruise at 110 MPH in the air but only 60 MPH on the road as they had to tow the removable wings on a trailer. Watch as Molt shows us how 'easy' it was to transform your car into a plane! This, by the way, is only one of six Aerocars ever built.

Brian Gale and David Stark, MD
The term image coregistration (a.k.a. fusion imaging) refers to a process by which images from one "functional" modality (usually nuclear medicine) are overlaid upon images from an "anatomic" modality (generally computed tomography or magnetic resonance). The result is often a visually stunning combination of a detailed anatomic image accented by the overlaid, colorful "hot spot."
The advent of image coregistration has been greeted positively by virtually all who have performed or written about it. Most of the published papers on the subject discuss how well the particular method discussed achieves the desired anatomic alignment. Authors generally assume that by apparently increasing lesion conspicuity, image coregistration will improve diagnostic accuracy across the board. These impressions are cute, but lack scientific rigor.
"Show me the money!" said Cuba Gooding, Jr. in Jerry McGuire .
Ronald Reagan, during the SALT III negotiations in Reykjavik, Iceland delivered perhaps his most memorable quote when he declared "Trust, but verify."
Radiologists need to verify whether this technique actually increases the accuracy or efficiency of image interpretation, compared with interpretation of the unfused "functional" and "anatomic" images. Until a thorough scientific study is performed, we won't know if this simple image processing technique truly improves the practice of diagnostic radiology, or if we are simply looking at a new, sexy version of the same old data.

A very important part of growing up is the ability to interact and socialize with others. During the school-age years, parents will see a transition in their child as he/she moves from playing alone to having multiple friends and social groups. While friendships become more important, the child is still fond of his/her parents and likes being part of a family. While every child is unique and will develop different personalities, the following are some of the common behavioral traits that may be present in your child:

We are still working to obtain content for your car,
however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
This video shows you how to add transmission fluid to your 2000 Honda Accord. Before adding transmission fluid, make sure that your engine was running when you checked the fluid level. If the transmission fluid level on your Accord is low, you need to add fluid through the dipstick tube. Honda has been developed sophisticated transmissions through years and it is critical that you add the exact type of transmission fluid stipulated by your owner's manual (typically in the back of the manual in a section titled Fluid Capacities.) When adding transmission fluid to your Accord, be sure to add it slowly as the transmission fluid capacity is reached quickly and it is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your Accord, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.
Got a short fuse? Don't blow a fuse, change it!

Bin & Bag Details
What are the sizes of the kitchen containers and bins? The green kitchen containers are 2.5 gallons, called the MaxAir bin, made by BioBag USA. The kitchen container is ventilated and the Biobags breathe. This design lets heat escape and moisture evaporate. This lets food scraps dry out, which slows the rotting process and avoids odor. The green curbside bins will be available in two sizes: 12 (for single family homes) and 21 gallons (for multi-family buildings up to 12 units). These bins are much smaller than the recycling toters (which are 65 gallons). Multi-family buildings can request a second curbside bin if one is not enough.
Does the green curbside bin lock? Yes. The bin is a durable plastic on wheels with a secure locking lid that is resistant to pests.
Tell me about the compostable bags I will receive. Why are plastic bags not accepted? Each participating household will receive a year supply of BioBags to line the kitchen container. Unlike regular plastic bags, BioBags are made from plant and vegetable oils/ resins that can be consumed by micro organisms that live in our soils. This means that the bag can easily be composted with the food scraps and soiled paper. Please DO NOT use plastic bags to collect your food scraps. Plastic bags are not compostable and considered a contaminant in the program.
How many compostable BioBags will I receive? What happens if I run out? to replace 2-3 times per week You will receive 150 compostable bags, allowing you enough bags to fill your bags with compostable material 2-3 times per week. Place the BioBags in the green curbside bin. This amount should be sufficient. If you need more, local retailers including Whole Foods, Tags, and Pemberton Farms do sell compostable bags (typically about $5 for a box of 25). Acceptable bags must have the US Composting Council logo. Please not that if you plan on leaving your residents for a long period of time (2+ days), please tie and place your BioBag in your curbside bin.
How can I clean my kitchen container and bin? You can clean your kitchen container in the dishwasher. If needed, you can clean the curbside bin with soap and water. Please drain the water onto a grassy area. Wash water should never enter a catch basin because it goes straight to the Charles River.

Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby labelled his side's showing against Leinster as being "terrible" after they fell to a heavy 42-19 defeat on Friday.
The Welshmen were 13-0 ahead in the early stages at Parc y Scarlets but then suffered a dismal rest of the game in their PRO12 opener.
"We've got a point to prove after this game never mind last season," Easterby told BBC Sport when looking ahead to their next fixture, against Treviso.
"We were terrible [against Leinster].
"We've got a lot of work to do starting now to make sure we don't embarrass ourselves like that.
"But we're not going to over-react just one game into a very long season.
"We also know what promise and ability we have in this side and when we've shaken off the disappointment, there was plenty in the game for us to build from.
"This is a time for strong and clear leadership from our senior players and the coaches."

Keyboard reads your handwriting
We wish we had more information on this keyboard--in fact, we'd settle for just about any information on it. As far as we can tell from its product listing, this is a USB keyboard equipped for handwriting recognition with a built-in touch screen and stylus.
It's described as an "identity" feature, which implies that the handwriting would be used for security, but it could also just be used to read foreign language characters or custom symbols, not unlike a Chinese-made mouse that we saw earlier this year.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Almost everyone knows these days that "breast is best," but many mothers still fall far short of their breastfeeding goals, all too often weaning their babies in the first weeks of life. Many of these moms lack timely access to the information and support that could rescue their breastfeeding relationship. In response, Community East offers a Saturday breastfeeding drop-in center, starting in January 2014.
Any mother who has questions about breastfeeding can come during the drop-in center hours to weigh her baby and get help from a hospital lactation consultant. Mothers with breastfeeding babies from any stage, newborn through weaning, are welcome. Mothers-to-be are encouraged to come ask questions and familiarize themselves with the service. Mothers who have delivered elsewhere are also welcome to take advantage of this free community service.
For more information, contact Natalie Goss, IBCLC at email@example.com or call the lactation office at 317-355-2345.
From moments after delivery, we are committed to helping moms and babies establish a positive breastfeeding experience. Our team of international board certified lactation consultants rounds on patients daily, encouraging mom and baby skin-to-skin contact immediately after delivery when possible and assisting with proper latch on. Our labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum suites are designed so that newborns can room-in with mom, creating an optimal environment for breastfeeding.
Moms of multiples, premature babies, or those needing advanced medical support in a special care nursery or NICU setting face unique challenges, including potential latch-on difficulties or separation of mom from baby. We have lactation consultants trained to address the specialized needs of these moms and babies. Our NICU rooms are equipped with refrigerators, keeping mom's breast milk in the same room as baby.
For breastfeeding issues such as ongoing milk supply issues, latch problems in the first week of life, or baby experiencing weight loss, a one-hour consultation may be advised. Each session is $50, due at time of service. Some insurance plans cover this service. If yours does, you can submit your paid receipt for reimbursement. A physician's referral is not required; you may call to make an appointment at any time.
Lactation consultants are available by telephone seven days a week to offer continuing support to families after discharge from the hospital. Calls are returned during business hours.
Free weekly breastfeeding support groups bring together nursing mothers and lactation consultants in an informal setting to share experiences and problem-solve. It's a fun and comfortable atmosphere—and a great place to meet new friends!
Moms and babies who are currently breastfeeding are welcome at support group. Many of our group members are quite young and we want to keep everyone healthy, so we discourage older siblings from attending.
You'll need your baby, diapers/wipes, and supplemental feeding supplies (if needed). You may also want to bring your stroller, Boppy or breast pump. We provide a scale, pillows and blankets.
During support group, moms are encouraged to feed their babies, getting a before and after weight to measure how much baby is eating with each feeding. Lactation consultants are available to address basic concerns and questions related to breastfeeding.
Support group is a wonderful opportunity to get answers for basic questions about breastfeeding.* Common topics include latch and positioning assistance, weaning from the nipple shield, returning to work and starting solids.
*If you are experiencing more complicated breastfeeding issues, such as ongoing milk supply issues, latch problems in the first week of life, or baby experiencing weight loss, we recommend a one-on-one consultation instead of support group, where our lactation consultants can provide you with more individualized support.

Last month, the ACLU called on [JURIST report] President Barack Obama to close the military prison during his second term. During his 2008 campaign for the presidency, Obama pledged to close the prison and during his second day in office he issued an executive order [text; JURIST report] directing the prison to be closed. However, in the face of congressional opposition [JURIST report] the Obama administration missed its self-imposed deadline to close Guantanamo military prison, and, following the 2010 mid-term congressional election, congress effectively halted [JURIST backgrounder] plans to close the facility. According to Forum contributor Jonathan Hafetz, Obama bears responsibility [JURIST op-ed] for the political missteps that prevented Guantanamo from closing and criticizes the president for embracing the "larger detention system that Guantanamo embodies." Conversely, Forum contributor David Frakt agrees that the Obama administration is partially responsible, but believes congress is largely to blame [JURIST op-ed] for passing a "series of increasingly stringent spending restrictions which have made it virtually impossible to transfer most detainees out of Guantanamo."

Re: Impact of Kanye West Maybe I need to listen more, so far all I've heard is some wind going through her nasal passages. IMO the ones who have the range in no specific order Aguilera, Joss Stone, Pink (really surprised me) Mariah, Alicia Keys to name a few that are a lot better than she is. Just pure vocals, I'm not a big fan of any of their music except for Joss. oh and back on topic, Kanye still sucks.:lol:
Beyonce can sing but I dont like her vocal style. She sings like its a job instead of letting it flow naturally. Etta dont like her much either.
Re: Impact of Kanye West I used to see Randy Jackson a lot back when there were a few good clubs with live music in Baton Rouge. He was playing with either Chick Corea or Journey at the time and he was just there to enjoy the music so I never saw him as a performer. Almost every time I saw him he was wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of Bullwinkle the Moose on it. Every time I saw him I would offer to buy the sweatshirt from him. As a child I was a huge fan of Bullwinkle. I don't know what he is like now that he is a national media star but back then he was a great guy.
Ok, the outfit he had on. Lets break it down, first of all glorifying crack cooking by having the name "Pyrex" on his Jersey/hoodie with an airbrushing of him and Jesus on the front and Jordan's 23 on the back. And that leather butchers apron/skirt/kilt thing was ridiculous, and the performance was even worse.

GSA Telepresence Technology and Capabilities
Telepresence rooms
Telepresence rooms contain three 1080p high-definition 65-inch television screens, high-quality spatial audio, and collaboration tools:
- A high-definition auxiliary screen that displays laptop content and images from the in-room document camera
- A document camera that captures video of objects and documents, such as components, blueprints, and photographs
GSA Telepresence rooms feature high-definition cameras and large displays, collaboration screen and document camera, microphones, phones, and a lighting shroud to improve visibility.
Digital content can be shared and displayed during the entire meeting by connecting a laptop to the telepresence system using the VGA adapter in your room. Web content, videos, and files from the laptop will display on the auxiliary screen installed in each room.
You cannot project your digital content onto one of the three large screens.
No food or beverages are allowed in the telepresence room. Food or beverage spills can damage the equipment.
You may only use telepresence rooms for telepresence sessions.
Telepresence network
All telepresence data is secured via a commercial encryption VPN (Virtual Private Network). When participating in a telepresence session within the GSA closed network (13 rooms), the encryption is FIPS 140-2 compliant.
Once a conference has started, you cannot add another telepresence room to the same meeting. You can, however, add another person or group via an audio conference.
Inform the customer care manager in advance of your scheduled meeting and provide the conference bridge number and access code. The conference bridge must be a toll-free number (800, 866, 888, etc.)The customer care manager will start the bridge for you at the beginning of your scheduled meeting.
Once you are in your telepresence meeting, you cannot ask for more time to extend the meeting. The meeting will end promptly and the screens will go dark.
You must make reservations one at a time, based on the availability of each room, and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Currently, 13 sites can connect simultaneously for a single meeting. Other equipment such as VTCs can be added. Contact the Telepresence PMO for details at (312) 353-9178.

Description Excerpt Praise Reading Group Guide Buy the Book Resources Gay superheroes list: WHO CARES ABOUT THE DEATH OF A GAY SUPERHERO ANYWAY? WHO CARES ABOUT THE DEATH OF A GAY SUPERHERO ANYWAY?: Author's note: Please send me your thoughts! I hope this list stimulates discussion. In the ever changing world of comic books, I welcome updates, new information, questions and corrections. Please send! No thought is too small, and I'd like to keep the list as current as possible. Thanks for your help! --Perry Click here to view comments and responses. In 1999, comic book writer Gail Simone compiled a notable list of female comic book characters who had been injured, killed, or de-powered in various superhero comics. The article, "Head In A Refrigerator," made waves, and fans encouraged the comic book industry to change their treatment of women in the medium. The result has been positive, as the ever-increasingly popular world of comic books and graphic novels have yielded some of the most powerful and respected female heroes in literature since the list's publication. The following list is a similar catalogue of the treatment of gays in the medium. The goal is to facilitate discussion and awareness, that fans expect and deserve better treatment of lesbian, gay, and transgendered characters. The very fabric of our society is defined by whom we choose to venerate as our heroes. Things are beginning to change, but for every step forward – and there are some very good ones -- the comic book world has taken some giant leaps back. Most gay characters, even in their small numbers, still remain primarily as villains, minor characters, and victims who are tortured, maimed and killed. Is this a fair representation of LGBT characters in the medium? That is left for you to decide. Yes, bad things do happen to all people, gay people included. But are there positive representations of gay characters to counterbalance these negative ones? Who cares about the death of a gay superhero anyway?
