The dark side of da Vinci
Cable drama takes a look at genius from decidedly different angle
Any student of history -- heck, anyone who's ever been a student at all -- would recognize Leonardo da Vinci as one of the world's greatest multi-faceted intellects -- a painter, sculptor, inventor, mathematician, engineer, anatomist, cartographer, writer and more.
But only a viewer of the new made-for-cable drama Da Vinci's Demons might think of the legendary Italian Renaissance thinker as a rabble-rouser, a womanizer, a deadly ambidextrous swordsman, a drinker, an incorrigible late-night carouser and an opium-smoking idealistic dreamer.
Da Vinci's Demons, which premi®res Friday, June 14 at 8 p.m. on Super Channel, is the latest drama offering from U.S. cable's Starz network, the specialty service that gave us four seasons of the blood-soaked and sex-obsessed CGI spectacle Spartacus (which aired in western Canada on Movie Central).
Clearly, the goal with Da Vinci's Demons is to capitalize on, and build upon, the audience generated by Spartacus, Starz's most successful and longest-running original series to date. In addition to the necessary nods to science, art and invention that must be part of any drama focused on the great man, this "historical fantasy drama (that) follows the 'untold' story of the world's greatest genius" also delivers generous helpings of sex and violence, set against an ornate 15th-century backdrop that is completely the product of 21st-century digital-effects wizardry.
The tone of the series is set in its first few moments, as 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci (played by Tom Riley) is invited to share an opium pipe with a mysterious Turkish visitor. OK, so the genius is into mind-expanding drugs. Next, the action flashes back a few days and we see Leo in a sun-soaked meadow, sketching feverishly while flirting with a topless female model; moments later, he convinces a young assistant to strap himself to a cumbersome, kite-like device so he can test its airworthiness by towing it behind a horse-drawn wagon that he sets careening across the meadow.
Back in the medieval muck of downtown Florence, da Vinci catches the eye of the beautiful Lucrezia Donati (Laura Haddock), who, as the mistress of powerful nobleman Lorenzo Medici (Elliot Cowan), represents exactly the sort of forbidden fruit that headstrong (and groin-steered) Leonardo can't resist.
When he gets into yet another brush with the law, defending a stranger being bullied by soldiers in a tavern, we learn that Leonardo is the bastard son of a member of the royal court, and that his father has almost run out of patience when it comes to extricating the young genius from the trouble he creates for himself.
Da Vinci's mischief, however, seems quite trifling when compared to the power-crazed antics of the Medici clan or, even worse, the blood-thirsty savagery of the papacy. Indeed, there's much menacing madness afoot.
By the end of the series premi®re, series creator David S. Goyer (co-writer of the Dark Knight trilogy) has created a narrative that is labyrinthian, preposterous and yet somehow oddly compelling. His whimsical re-imagining of da Vinci as an action hero (portrayed with likable panache by Riley) is patently silly but rather entertaining to watch, sort of a 15th-century version of James Bond who's probably as close as his pre-nuclear age could come to spawning a superhero.
Simply put, it's good, dumb summer fun.
-- -- --
Checking in: Also premiering Friday on Super Channel (at 9 p.m., after Da Vinci) is Season 2 of the retro-cool drama Magic City, which follows the efforts of circa-1960 Florida hotelier Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) to maintain his Miramar Playa Hotel's status as a stylish Miami Beach destination while trying to extricate himself from the Mob ties that originally financed his dream.
The series' sophomore season features the arrival of new cast member James Caan as an organized-crime boss from Chicago who takes a dangerous interest in goings-on at the Miramar Playa.

Patrick in Top Five at Indy 500
Danica Patrick takes fourth place at the Indianapolis 500 race — the best finish ever by a woman in the event. She lost the race in the closing laps. Host Jennifer Ludden reviews the race with Greg Rakestraw, of the ESPN radio affiliate in Indianapolis.

JENNIFER LUDDEN, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Jennifer Ludden.
Today history was made at the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500. Dan Wheldon won the race, but a woman came in fourth. Twenty-three-year-old Danica Patrick lost the race in the last laps. Joining us to talk about the Indy is Greg Rakestraw. He works for the ESPN radio affiliate in Indianapolis.
Mr. GREG RAKESTRAW: Thank you very much.
LUDDEN: Danica Patrick seemed to be in the lead for much of the day. What happened?
Mr. RAKESTRAW: Well, she was actually leading in the last 30 laps. She was in the lead pack for a large chunk of the day, but had only led one lap until lap 170. Then at that time, there was a yellow flag; most of the lead lap came in. She decided to stay out, take the gamble, see if she can make it the final 30 laps on the fuel she had in the tank and then took the lead. Another caution came out at lap 189 with 11 laps left to go. At that point in time, she was in second, right behind the eventual winner in Dan Wheldon. Danica kept the lead until lap 193; that's when Dan Wheldon passed her. And she started running low on fuel pressure those last few laps, and she just didn't have enough in the tank to overcome Wheldon. She ended up dropping to fourth, but still a fantastic finish today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
LUDDEN: With so much attention on Danica Patrick, do you think the guys felt ignored?
Mr. RAKESTRAW: I think there were some guys that felt ignored throughout the course of the month. But I think all the drivers realized what she means to the series. There are so many more casual fans that watched the Indianapolis 500 today and that will hopefully care about future Indy Racing League events because Danica's a part of it.
LUDDEN: Greg Rakestraw works for the ESPN radio affiliate in Indianapolis.
Thank you.
Mr. RAKESTRAW: You're welcome.

Raw Savory Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and since many of you are putting together your menus I thought you might like a bit of inspiration in the form of savory recipe ideas to make. I know it can be a challenge when you are eating raw and plant based to find things to make. I have compiled a list of raw recipes, some from other bloggers I admire and some of my own. They are not all traditional, but they are seasonal. I like to switch things up a bit. You will not miss the Turkey with these delicious dishes! Stay tuned, tomorrow I will be sharing my top Thanksgiving Dessert recipes!

Raw Miso "Roasted" Mushrooms and Green Beans with Rich Parsnip Puree
People assume that because I have a blog and make lots of food that I will be slaving away all day in the kitchen on Thanksgiving. Nothing could be further from the truth! In reality, I want to enjoy my day as well, spending time with the ones I love and not in the kitchen. I mean, I spend all day in a kitchen at work, and to me Thanksgiving is a day off, a day of rest. Really, I want to be lazy. So most likely I will be making something simple, like this dish I made last week after work when I thought some comfort food might be good. Mashed potatoes sounded amazing, but I opted for parsnips instead, creating a rich puree enhanced with buttery pine nuts for something even better. They were a little sweet, which I enjoyed. I am a big fan of parsnips though, especially in raw applications with their wonderful flavor. I made some "roasted"crimini mushrooms and green beans as well which had the most intense crave worthy flavor and they paired perfect with the parsnips! I think this would make the perfect simple Thanksgiving dinner, or part of it. You could make accompaniments for a more elaborate meal, and even use portabello mushrooms if you wanted something more meaty. It was perfect for a weeknight as well though, with little fuss required!
Raw Miso "Roasted" Mushrooms and Green Beans with Rich Parsnip Puree
Serves 2
1/4 cup Nama Shoyu
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp white miso
1 clove garlic, minced
10 crimini mushrooms, halved
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
Parsnip Puree:
4 cups parsnips
1/2 cup raw pine nuts, soaked for 2 hours and drained
2 Tbsp nutri yeast
sea salt to taste
filtered water as needed
Whisk together the nama shoyu, oil, miso, and garlic in a small bowl. Toss the mushrooms and green beans with it, then spread out on a lined dehydrator tray and dehydrate for 3-4 hours at 115F until softened.
Meanwhile, to make the parsnip puree, combine all ingredients in a high speed blender and blend until smooth, adding a Tbsp or two of water as needed. Place in a bowl and warm in the dehydrator for 30 minutes or so if desired, and serve with the mushrooms and green beans.

Raw Passion Fruit Chocolate Cups
Ripe passion fruit smells amazing. At least that is what I have decided after I had some sitting on my counter giving off the most heavenly aroma while they waited to be made into something delicious! Almost perfume like, and fruity. I was wishing I could bottle the smell and wear it. Anyways, I had gotten some at a good price, which hardly ever happens because I am living in the land of snow and ice right now in Minnesota, not the tropics. I was super excited to make something with these aromatic beauties and I decided on some sort of candy.
I was going to make truffles, but then I got lazy and made Raw Passion Fruit Chocolate Cups instead. Same ingredients, but less fussy, which you will thank me for when you are making them if you are not good at dipping chocolates. I made the filling a coconut passion fruit cream which is heavenly all by itself and could be eaten with a spoon...which some of it was. I could not resist. I sandwiched it between dark chocolate and topped it off with some crunchy coconut.
Let me tell you, the combination of passion fruit and chocolate is something everyone needs to try once (at least) in their life time. It is sooo good! The sweet, aromatic slightly tart passion fruit is wonderful with the rich smooth chocolate. I have to say, I envy anyone who lives where these fruits are abundant, you are so lucky!
Raw Passion Fruit Chocolate Cups
Makes 16
1 1/2 cups raw coconut butter (not oil) warmed to liquid
1/4 cup raw coconut nectar, maple syrup or raw local honey
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups passion fruit pulp
a pinch sea salt
2 cups raw dark chocolate chunks, or chopped raw dark chocolate
16 large size foil candy cup tins
Large flake dried coconut for serving
Note: all ingredients in this recipe must be at room temperature or warmer or when you mix them together they will clump up.
Whisk together all ingredients for filling until well combined, and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate chunks in a bowl (I put it in the dehydrator and let it melt, but you can also use a double boiler being careful not to let the chocolate get above 115F whisking often). Spoon a little chocolate into the bottoms of the candy cup tins, then place in the freezer to set for about 5 minutes. Spoon a little of the passion fruit mixture over that and smooth the tops (about 2 Tbsp) then spoon more of the dark chocolate over that. Sprinkle with large flake coconut and place in the freezer to set up for about 20 minutes. Store extra in fridge.

Raw Persimmon Pine Nut Blondies
When Eric and I were at the Asian market the other day picking up my cases of young coconuts, something caught my eye...bright orange beautiful fruit. Not oranges, although I love them, persimmons! I love them. To me they taste sort of like sweet marshmallows in fruit form. Plus my favorite color happens to be orange so that is a plus as well. Anyways, I had to buy some. It was not an option!
I wanted to make pine nut blondies, because I had some pine nut butter and I had originally intended to use apples in them to keep them soft and moist and give them a fall flair, but then I saw the persimmons and decided that I wanted to use those instead. After all, they are naturally sweet so it would be perfect!
Trust me these were simply heavenly. Crave worthy, like the best cookie dough turned into a bar. They were almost caramelly tasting thanks to the sweet persimmons, lucuma powder and dates, and the pine nut butter made them so rich and delicious. Trust me you need these in your life!
Raw Persimmon Pine Nut Blondies
Makes 12
4 1/2 cups raw coconut flour (home made is preferred)
1 1/2 cup sprouted buckwheat flour (or additional coconut flour)
3/4 cup ground flax seed
1 Tbsp ground psyllium husk
1/4 cup lucuma powder
1 cup soft medjool dates, pitted
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp maple extract
1 3/4 cups chopped persimmons*
2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar (or your choice liquid raw sweetener)
1/2 cup raw pine nut butter
1/4 cup raw coconut butter (NOT oil), warmed to liquid
3/4 cup raw pine nuts
For the dough, in a food processor, combine the coconut flour, buckwheat flour, flax seed, psyllium husk, lucuma, dates and salt, and process until the dates are very finely chopped and it is all well combined. Add the vanilla, persimmons, coconut nectar, pine nut butter, and coconut butter and process until smooth like dough. Mix in the pine nuts. Then press the blondies into a 1 1/2 inch square on a foil lined sheet pan. Place in the freezer until set (about an hour), then cut into 12 squares and enjoy! Store in the fridge.

Poring over coffee's simplest method
Kit: The Perfect Pour Over Coffee Set
Occam's razor: A philosophical principle suggesting that simpler explanations tend to be better than complex ones. It has broad application, from medicine to ethics to proofs of the existence of God. Now if we apply the razor to our morning coffee, as the thinking men of Gear Patrol are wont to do, we can scrap our fancy drip machines and super-automatic espresso makers and still get a world-class cup of coffee without doing much more than pouring hot water over coffee grounds. We've assembled a pour over kit with all the basics to get you started — at a very affordable price.

Sao Paulo holdover - Friday 13th flight nightmare.
Sao Paulo holdover - Friday 13th flight nightmare. With over 30 hours of plane and airport ahead, the first leg goes badly wrong. Nothing to do but wait and amuse yourselves.
So here we go, setting off on a journey that no humans in their right mind would undertake. Still, as that is a category to which we clearly do not belong, we bravely faced the 22 hours flying with 9 hours in airport layovers. "Have a nice day". And its Friday 13th to boot - now there's poetic justice for you.
Later that same day... Sao Paolo. Yes, Brazil. What the hell are we doing here? You may well ask.. Everything was going just fine from boarding our flight in Chile to the first stop over here in Sao Paulo. It was supposed to be a three hour layover, then on to Johannesburg. There are fifteen of us traveling in our group, so we found a secluded corner of a lounge with a TV showing the movie "Amadeus" dubbed into Portuguese, which was good for chuckles (they had trouble getting his manic laugh right). We had a few drinks and fooled around, killing time & attempting to get into a suitably Zen frame of mind to attempt two ten-hour flights in succession. Then comes the first announcement. Flight delayed due to a mechanical problem. Oh well, every minute we spend here is a minute less we spend at the six-hour Johannesburg layover, so no great drama. Further announcements followed, and the delay time continued to increase until they eventually announced that Varig Airlines was canceling the flight altogether. At this point things started to get really "interesting". Varig could put us on the same flight tomorrow, but the Johannesburg to Perth connection only flies on certain days of the week and tomorrow's not one of them. As I've already mentioned our road crew was flying a completely different routing due to scarcity of seats, so we knew there weren't going to be many options, if any at all. The slightest hint of panic began to set in. Tour manager Dennis Sheehan set about finding new possible routings, as the rest of us started drinking heavily as it was clear we were going to be treated to another night in Sao Paulo. Friday the 13th was living up to its reputation. By 2am we'd had enough and Varig were ready to ship us off to the delightfully seedy "Hotel Deville" nearby. Friday 13th at the Hotel Deville - it was starting to read like a promising screenplay. Crammed into a small van we set off to the hotel feeling tired, hungry, a little cranky, but largely heroic. We joked about the hotel laying on lavish hospitality for us and so forth, so imagine depth of our joy when we arrived to find the hotel restaurant still open. At a loss for words! Notes could not spell out the score! When you're tired enough, the slightest events can feel like major victories, and in the "Motel 666" ambience we feasted like kings on dubious Brazilian delicacies, well, pasta anyway. Went to bed at 3am with a rumoured departure time of 9am, though quite where we're going to fly to I'm not sure. Still, on a positive note, as Larry pointed out "I'm glad they found the technical problem before we got on the plane...". I wonder if I'll ever see my bags again?

We have a friend that recently moved to Managua for work and she invited us to spend Christmas and New Years with her. Who could say "no" to free accommodations with a friend living in a warm climate?
Managua--Although most of our time was spent in the capital city, we didn't really do any sightseeing there. Due to many factors (e.g. earthquake of 1972, economy, politics, etc.) there isn't as much to see/do in Managua as in other capital cities. We did a quick driving tour of the "downtown" area one day and saw the ruins of the Cathedral of Santo Domingo, the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura and the Malecon. I was expecting that we could get out of the car and have a pleasant walk along the malecon, but the area seemed unsafely deserted and the lakeside was dirty with debris.
We ate most of our meals in, shopping for groceries at the modern supermarket La Colonia Hiper at the Galleria Mall. I was somewhat surprised to find so many American products (which made it easy for me to do my special Christmas cooking and baking). As we discovered, all the stores and restaurants will accept both U.S. dollars and cordobas (but your change will always be given in cordobas.)
We did eat two meals out in Managua. The first was pizza at Pan y Vino and it was excellent! There was a huge number of pizzas to choose from with all sorts of delicious toppings on a tasty, thin crust. The large was easily enough food for two people and the prices seemed to be similar to those found in a nice Italian restaurant back home. The second meal was at a relatively new steak restaurant named, as I recall, Don Parillo. The staff was extremely friendly and did a great job of serving us. The steaks were cooked perfectly and came with a tossed salad and two sides. With non-alcoholic drinks, our meals only averaged $15 per person, tax and tip included!
Volcano Masaya--We did a morning trip here one day. While Nicaragua has many national parks and nature reserves, I understand that Volcano Masaya is one of the few (if not the only one) which has any real development, i.e. visitor's center, etc. The park is only about 20 minutes from Managua on a fairly good road. After paying admission, we drove to the top of the volcano and parked, as instructed, facing the road down so that we could make a quick escape if required. (A tourist's car was crushed by a rock spewed from the volcano in 2000.) The volcano was releasing a large amount of sulphurous gas and it is recommended that you stay in this area no more than 20 minutes. Sometimes, our friend told us, the gas is so great that they have to close the park to visitors. You can climb the 177 steps to an overlook into the volcano and I recommend doing this. There are some trails in the area and we walked on one of these for more views of the volcanoes. This volcano was surrounded by rough chunks of volcanic rock, not the smooth volcanic flow I had seen around the Hawaiian volcanoes many years ago. Our friend drove the car down to the visitor's center while we walked to see more of the landscape and, hopefully, some of the wildlife. It was a nice 3-4 km walk but I know now why our friend insisted we get an early start--it was really hot by mid-morning! We took a quick tour of the exhibits in the visitor's center. They were well-presented with signage mostly in Spanish.

For Body Beautiful's team of cosmetic experts, it?s not enough to simply treat patients? skin, veins, or cellulite. The med-spa?s staff is also focused on helping patients understand the issues they?re facing and how they can be treated most effectively, which is why all patients begin their relationship with the spa with a personal consultation. Only then does Body Beautiful draw on its arsenal of high-tech services, including treatments that include diode-laser hair removal, tattoo removal, and fractional skin resurfacing and rejuvenation designed to minimize skin irritation. The team also uses lasers?along with peels, ultrasound facials, microdermabrasion, and other approaches?to combat acne and spider veins, and its laser toenail fungus removal helps prepare feet for warm-weather footwear. To complement its other technological techniques, Body Beautiful also offers body-contouring wraps, which rely on a mixture of radio frequency, infrared light, fillers and Botox, and teeth whitening.
Tending to bodies for more than 30 years, The Skin Center Medical Spa enhances innate beauty through noninvasive laser treatments, anti-aging skin therapies, and cosmetic enhancements. Conceived by Dr. Dominic Brandy, the current medical director at three Pittsburgh locations, and overseen by the Columbus location's medical director, Dr. Fernando Colon, the minimally invasive QuickLift mini face-lift helps tighten the lower face, neck, and jawline with a dramatically shortened recovery time. The Skin Center's experts revitalize all components of the face, targeting veins, hair, or Mona Lisa?shaped birthmarks through surgical solutions and high-tech injections. Vascular surgeons Dr. Jerome Itzkoff and Dr. Marios Panayides and specialize in minimally invasive surgeries such as such as endovenous laser ablation, phlebectomy, and ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy to serve skin below the head.
At Sewickley Med Spa, highly trained medical professionals help patients to reclaim or maintain their youthful appearance with advanced aesthetic treatments. Dr. Thomas Michael has more than 25 years of experience and training in aesthetic medicine and currently serves as the medical director of Heritage Valley WoundCare. He worked for many years in the areas of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and emergency medicine, and he can therefore sing in perfect harmony with an ambulance siren.
Together with registered nurse and cosmetic-dermatology specialist Michele Altobello, Dr. Michael provides complimentary consultations for medical-grade skincare services including chemical peels, Botox, Dysport, and dermal fillers. The clinical team also enhances natural beauty with permanent makeup and addresses spider veins with sclerotherapy. The reception area of the private, discreet office is decorated with soothing violet tones and a potted orchid.
Skin Beautiful's safe, gentle whitening treatment combines an LED light with a hydrogen-peroxide gel for fast whitening action that yields long-lasting results. After your treatment, you'll also receive futuristic touch-up teeth-whitening pens to eliminate pesky gravy stains. The treatment contains twice as much hydrogen peroxide as store-bought treatments, and it works with sensitive teeth. You can expect immediate results, and, like a tiny toy clown that grows in water, your teeth will continue to whiten for 24 hours.
At New York Salon & Spa, hairstylists tend to tresses amid sleek, white decor accented by light hardwood floors and other modern design touches. They create new looks for guests that range from basic haircuts to formal updos or highlights.
Surrounded by yellow walls, lushly patterned drapery, and large gilded mirrors, the savvy stylists at Le Beaute' Boutique create chic coiffures with cuts, color, and other hair services. Tress wranglers tame wild follicles with a haircut ($42+ for women; $22+ for men) and concoct curls with nothing more than a wink of a third eye during a perm ($75+). Clients can stand out in a crowd of monochromatic manes with a partial foil highlight ($65+) or prepare for a stint in the witness protection program with a full-color change ($47+). Updos ($40+) glam up head hair for special events, such as proms or a driver's license exams.

November 27, 2014
Authorities have identified a woman who was hit by a pick-up truck Thursday afternoon and seriously injured. She is 62-year-old Lynn P. Toman of Omaha.
The accident happened at 60th and Center around 12:30 p.m.
Police say that 44-year-old Frank Bashore was driving his truck northbound on 60th and turned west on Center when his vehicle struck Ms. Toman in the crosswalk.
A stalled vehicle in the turn lane caused Bashore to drive around in the left through-lane. He told investigators that he had a green arrow and as he made the turn, the light changed allowing Toman to cross.
Toman suffered a head injury and is hospitalized with a brain bleed. She was listed in serious but stable condition Thursday night.
The investigation of the accident continues.

Dehumidifier runoff
I have purchased a new home with a partly finished basement. To keep the space dry, I purchased a dehumidifier. I'm tired of dumping the water each night and the builder advised I can drain the water through the basement floor. How do I go about making the hole? How deep will I need to go? Any feedback for this novice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I don't have any windows nearby, only a sliding door for the walkout basement. Should I put a hole in the foundation?
Sounds like you could put a hole in the side frame of the sliding glass door near the bottom. Then locate the dehimidifier right next to the door so you don't have a long pipe going across the floor.
To get the water to flow out you might consider setting the dehimidifier on a small stand or table.
Hopefully, the area outside the door slopes away from the house.
To get the water to flow out you might consider setting the dehimidifier on a small stand or table.
Hopefully, the area outside the door slopes away from the house.
Thanks for the assistance. One more question. I assume (almost always a problem) that I drill a 1/2" hole in sill and attach a garden hose to the dehumidifier, running the other end through the hole. Do I need to seal the area around the hose and the hole? If so, what should I use? On the inside or the outside? Thanks again for all the help.

"Mouse batteries were dead, but love the imac."
"MacMall sold me an open box computer, put the charge through and then emailed me a day later that it was not available. Wasted lots of time with phone calls etc. Good luck to you if you buy from them."
"Canceled the order and tried to bs about invalid sku..."
"super disappointed!
Ordered online on 10/29, still haven't received anything. checked status online almost daily, it just says "in process" all the time, with no other details.
Called customer support, was told the order is pending verification, meaning I have to call them to verify. I asked why, they told me because I am a first time buyer, which i am not, I purchased twice in the past.
If you have another process called verification, then tell user before the purchase. I expect to receive the order if I paid online.
If the order is pending, show it in the online status, so people know about it.
The amount of energy required from customer is not reasonable.
Will ask people not to use them. "
"Scam Alert!! Do Not ORDER FROM THIS SELLER. Tried to order a new MacBook Pro on line. Immediately after the order was placed I received a phone call from a representative offering discounts. I declined to place my order with him. He informed me that this was ok and my online order would ship immediately. Fast forward 2 days. No tracking number. The order is not listed in the order history section of the MacMall website. Contacted MacMall and was told the order was "lost". I was told I could replace the order through a representative but could not use my PayPal account?? The rep told me my PayPal account was not charged. I checked my Paypal account and as I suspected, my account was charged! Reminds me of the New York based electronics "dealers". I will be contacting Apple because of their authorized retailer status. Save yourself the hassle and don't order from this disreputable mechant!"
"I purchased a new MacMini($1394) online on October 28th 2014 and during the ordering process their website displayed, the following items were as Zero dollars or "Free": 1.Parallels DT 10 & Win 7 Pro (installed) 2. MacAlly iKeySlim USB Keyboard 3. Belkin Conserve Socket 4.KANEX USB to Ethernet Adapter 5.Emtec 64GB Candy USB Flash Drive - C400 6.Promise Pegasus2 R8 32TB RAID System
So i added these to my order. But when i received my order yesterday, i got only mac mininbut not any of the items. When i called their customer service, they says its their website problem and sorry. That's it which is very bad experience. I made the order through them because i saw multiple commetns from users on google that Macmall offers these as free. I will not buy again from them. Very bad experience.
"Even if MACMALL is a reseller it was to long the waiting time for delivery of the item I wanted (10/15/2014)"
"I attempted to order some software (Microsoft Office 2011) for download. The order went through but about an hour later I received email from MacMall in which was buried (in small letters) notification that the software was "out of stock." I thought that was very odd for a download, but whatever. I needed the software so sent email canceling my order and purchased it from someone else (downloaded without problems).
The next day I received email from MacMall containing a download link and license key. I wrote back to them saying that I'd already canceled my order and didn't want the software, and received a response saying that they couldn't cancel my order because they sent me the link.
Several phone calls and pieces of email later I *think* we've gotten it straightened out, although I never received written confirmation that they won't be charging me for the software. I won't be doing business with MacMall again."
"Actually bought from them for over twenty years. Never had a problem, people are very helpful and friendly, prices are always below retail. It is my go to store for computer needs."
"I been happy with u guys even if I can't get credit ok"
"nobody speaks English. Paid for UPS delivery and they sent FedEx which is HORRIBLE in our area [haven't seen a credit yet for the UPS charge]. Told item was in stock but order has it backordered- I would have gotten locally if I had known.
Originally online order system kept failing so had to call hence the non-English comment (as well as trying to deal with UPS/FedEx problem].
Will have to think twice about dealing with in the future.
A disappointed customer! "
"1st time buyer of MacMall, I bought iMac at a very good price. The shipment came in great condition, well packaged, and on time. I also received my rebate on time. I am very happy with my purchase from MacMall, I would definatly buy again."
"I ordered a Monitor online which I needed in 4 days. I paid extra for expedited. 3 days after I ordered they told me it was not in stock and would not be in stock for another 3-4 weeks. This is bait and switch and a wast of everyone's time."
"Great service - ordered MacBook Air at noon on Friday & received it at 10:00 am Saturday with reasonable overnight charge.
Perfect transaction !"
"I enjoyed the experience of buying my beloved MacBookPro on MacMall, they did deliver a fine product on a timely fashion, and with some very interesting discounts.
The only reason why I don't give them five stars is because they were a tad too strict on the checks imposed on credit cards, which made it impossible for me to use mine, even though I demonstrated it was a legitimate purchase order with a legitimate card. Nevertheless, they were prompt to offer me paying alternatives, so I could complete my purchase.
So, all being said, I'd definitely consider them for my next purchase. Well done!"

ANDERSON -- Checking in from Colts training camp, and I have to say that my e-mail and text messages have been blowing up. The people want to know my thoughts on a few Komet-related matters, so here we go:
Are the Komets going to bring in toughness? Absolutely. They are cognizant than the Central Hockey League typically has good, young tough players. And the Komets have to protect the skill players, like Mathieu Curadeau and Derek Patrosso.
But they think Brad MacMillan wasn't good enough? Right or wrong, this is the M.O. with the Komets. Who was the last tough guy they brought back for many years? All I can say is that no one has said to me personally anything but complimentary things about MacMillan, and that guy was a real worker out there. The only drawbacks were some ill-advised penalties that resulted in suspensions. The Komets need to get a guy who will be an enforcer and play a regular shift. I don't know if you'll like this example, but they need a Kevin Kotyluk-type. And hey, if he doesn't work out, then they can trade him for a David Hukalo-type.
Will the Komets sign Rob Nolan as the No. 2 goaltender? I have a call in about this today, but my feeling is the longer it goes on, the less chance there is of it happening. They cannot wait and wait on this guy, especially when it's a buyer's market in hockey. Though it sounds contradictory, Nolan can afford to wait. Look how far behind they are in places like Dayton and Evansville. And there's no way the Komets have a ton of money underneath the salary cap.
What else does this team need? I really think they need help up front, in the form of a power forward. Their two biggest forwards are 6-foot-2 P.C. Drouin and Tyler Fletcher. Forget about the need for more scoring, though rookie Matt Ward could be a diamond in the rough, the Komets don't have any bruisers for the corners. Also, given the defensemen they currently have, the Komets need to have huge seasons from Frankie DeAngelis and Brandon Warner, or there will be a lack of scoring from the blue line.
