HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Hagerstown Police Chief Mark Holtzman says crime has declined in the city's downtown corridor as the Washington County Board of education considers relocating the school board offices to the area.
The Herald-Mail (http://bit.ly/Z52z1J ) reports Holtzman presented information about the police department's downtown safety plan. That involves a downtown squad and auxiliary police officers to help with patrols.
Holtzman says property and violent crimes have decreased. He says there were 133 property crimes downtown last year, compared with 227 in 2005. The department recorded 28 violent crimes in 2012, compared with 51 in 2005.
In 2012, auxiliary police officers were placed downtown. They wear uniforms and carry police radios but aren't sworn officers.
If the school system moves its headquarters downtown, Holtzman says it get access to downtown security camera feeds.

Sparky® Says: Get to know EDITH Video

Kids are eager to learn about escape planning with the Sparky® Says: Get to know EDITH Video!
Make a big impact on little ones as NFPA®'s new Sparky Says: Get to know EDITH Video introduces them to E.D.I.T.H. -- Exit Drills In The Home. In this animated video, children take on the role of fire safety "expert" for their families as Sparky the Fire Dog® helps them understand how making and practicing a home fire escape plan can help people survive fire.
Sparky inspires kids to make a difference.
The video tells the engaging story of a group of friends who witness a fire on their way home from school. After learning that everyone got out safely because they practiced their escape plan, they decide to work with Sparky to make their own video showing how a typical family can protect themselves by making and practicing EDITH.
Show good escape planning in action.
Lively animation, fun characters, colorful design, original music, and clear explanatory graphics provide memorable demonstrations that teach essential escape planning steps, including:
- Drawing a floor plan with two ways out of every room
- Establishing a meeting place outside
- Marking the location of smoke alarms
- Writing the fire emergency phone number on the plan
- Practicing the plan with the whole family
- And more
After completing their video, the kids get a chance to show it on the evening news and let everyone know how important it is to make a plan and practice with EDITH.
Build fire safety -- and reading -- skills, too.
Designed to appeal to "older" Sparky fans who have basic reading abilities, the video supports language arts curriculum areas such as research and writing, and will encourage children to participate in those activities just like the kids in the video. A Presenter's Guide with supplemental print materials for classroom or take-home use are included. (Grades 2-3, 14 minutes, Presenter's Guide, 2007)

Where I come from software is considered something you can get for free (same goes for movies, etc.) The willingness not to pay for software is quite strong. It is putting me off, that people would rather go through hoops and risk legal issues than to pay a small amount of money for a piece of software. This attitude is somehow embedded in the society. I'm just trying to understand the situation.
What do you think is causing this? Why won't some people pay for software even if it's cheap and they use it every day?

We all hear about pigs being so much more reviled than other forms of non-kosher. This is true in general culture; I believe such a minhag was recorded with regards to using soap rendered from non-kosher animals; we find the Talmud occasionally referring to a pig euphemistically as "something else", rather than having to say the word. What's so special (in a bad way) about pigs?
A few thoughts come to mind; this is a wiki, so please add more:
The essay brought here discusses why we revile the pig more than any other non-kosher animal, connects it to our own spiritual service, and explains why it will specifically be the pig that our Sages say G-d will make kosher again when Moshiach comes (as discussed there).
In short (but read the essay for all the details). The pig represents the worst kind of evil, evil masquerading as good. That is the hardest kind of evil to fight. However, the fact that the pig can successfully masquerade as good must be because it has some good in it. our severe hatred of the pig serves to cut off the evil and leave the good. On a spiritual level, this represents our fight with our own evil inside of us, the animal soul. The pig reminds us that we too have an evil inclination inside of us and by fighting it, we can leave only the good, eradicate the evil, and prepare ourselves and the world for Moshiach. G-d will reciprocate by making the pig kosher.
As discussed here, that doesn't mean the pig will actually be Kosher when Moshiach comes, depends on who you ask.
There is an amazing Ramban in דברים ,פרשת ואתחנן ,פרק ו, פסוק יא. The Ramban comments on the verse that says that when the Jews go to Israel there will be houses filled with every "good thing" (בתים מלאים כל טוב). The Ramban explains that this is referring to "pickled Pig". He explains that the Bnei Yisroel had a permit to eat pig. He quotes those that suggest this permit lasted for seven years. It is worth going through the Ramban. However, it is clear from this that the verse is referring to Pig as a "good thing". Furthermore, if it were as bad as people make it out to be, then how could Hashem permit us to eat it?
It would seem from a Halachick and philosophic standpoint their is absolutely nothing wrong with pig. But, what can we do, Hakodosh Baruch Hu forbid us to eat it. It seems there had to be some class of foods that are prohibited, Why pig? I don't know. But we see from the above Ramban there is absolutely nothing intrinsically wrong with pig per se other than Hashem was גוזר on me not to eat it.
Something I wrote at Parsha Shemini last year
The 172nd prohibition according to Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos is the prohibition against eating non-kosher. In Volume 3, Chapter 48 of Moreh Nevuchim the Rambam writes 'if we were allowed to eat pig's flesh, the streets and house would be dirtier than any cesspool'.
Have you ever wondered why it is that in almost all stereotypes about what a Jew can or cannot eat Pig is more often than not singled out? Beyond that even with Jews that aren't so strict in keeping dietary law they will proudly say 'I don't eat pig'. What is it about the Pig that singles it out amongst all other non-kosher animals?
In Parsha Shemini we are taught that in order for an animal to be kosher it needs two identifying signs, to have cloven hoofs and to chew the cud. The Torah does not list those animals which have both signs and are kosher or those which lack both and are not kosher but rather the only 4 animals that have one of the two signs.
It tells us that the Camel, Hyrax and Hare are not kosher because they chew the cud but do not have a cloven hoof and therefore unclean. The Pig on the other hand is singled out as being the only animal that has cloven hoofs but does not chew the cud. It is worthwhile to note that over the past 2400 years there has never been another animal found that fits into one of these categories.
So we see that the uniqueness of the Pig is that it is the only and will be the only animal to ever have cloven hoofs and not chew the cud. The question is why it is still held with such disregard by Jews, what makes it more unkosher them the next, or more unkosher then the Camel, Hyrax and Hare.The disregard shown for the Pig even finds its way into the Talmud, Midrash and later Rabbinic literature. The Midrash Rabba uses the Pig to refer to the evil national of Rome. The Midrash Tanchuma when describing someone drinking uses the analogy of animals. Drinking one cup a person becomes like a lamb, modest and meek, two cups mighty as a lion and speaks with pride, three to four cups like a money who dances and frolicks around and when he is drunk he becomes a pig, dirtied by mud and wallowing in filth.
Unique to the Pig amongst all other non-kosher animals is the appearance of being Kosher. The Pig is the only animal whose hoofs are split appearing from the outside no different to any other kosher animal but what lies beneath is its non-kosher inside, that it doesn't chew the cud. For Judaism, nothing could be worse than making a holy facade when your inside is rotten. It is this very attempt to parade itself as kosher which gives it the status amongst all other non-kosher animals.
The midrash asks the question why is the Pig called the Chazir? For in the future it will be lehachazir,returned. i.e. that Pig will be kosher in the Messianic Era. How is it after all that we have seen the Pig will become kosher in the times of Moshiach? Surely that is a time for eradicating animals that masquerade as one thing and are really another. However Kabbalah and Chassidus teach us that the pig does something for us, it forces us to confront our own short comings, and our own masquerades. We are the same on the outside all holy and pure but inside all rotten. We should strive to recognise the pig from what it is a mirror of ourselves.
It is taught that if we perfect ourselves and allow our outside and inside to be aligned that HaShem will do the same for the Pig. So it makes sense in times of Moshiach the pig's inside will be as pure as the outside, it will chew the cud as well as have split hoofs. We can speed up the process by working on ourselves.
In order to understand why the pig has become synonymous with all that is not Kosher we must consider the history of Neolithic domestication of swine. The diseases that came from this particular animal, actually shaped the human immune system, because of all the animals humans were learning to domesticate, only the pig was able to share germs with our species, and this swapping of germs, while deadly to many of our ancestors, also helped to evolve our own immune system -as well as the pigs'.
The question must arise as to whether the pig's ability to infect us with disease was the reason that pigs were considered unclean in the Kosher dietary laws recorded in the Tenakh or Old Testament. Because so much of the Jewish law dictating what was and was not actually Kosher, were collected in the writings of the two Talmudic books, the Mishna (written c. 200 CE) and the Gemara (written c. 500 CE), it could be suggested that so much time had passed since the pig was first domesticated that there was probably no correlation between the Kosher laws forbidding contact with swine, and the illnesses that would have ravaged ancient pastoral societies.
In Leviticus, the third book in the Old Testament which was attributed to Moses, but which was more likely written during the Babylonian exile between 538 and 332 BCE, God gives the Hebrews not only the famous Ten Commandments, but also all 613 commandments associated with Jewish life, including the commandments that dictate what is "clean" to eat and what is not.
"Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying; 'These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth"
The main factor in determining what herd animals are, and are not, Kosher has to do with whether they have a cloven hoof and chew their cud. Had Leviticus left it at that I might never have written these words. But the text goes on:
"…and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.'"
So the pig is one of the few animals that were actually 'called out' in the Bible as being un-Kosher. This is very significant because when the Bible specifically names a thing it implies that that thing has some power over ancient cultures. For instance, in Genesis as God is creating the world, there is a reference to the creation of "the great sea-monsters". The actual word used for 'sea monster' in Hebrew is tninim, which means crocodile. Many of the religious cults of the time worshipped the symbol of the crocodile as a god, particularly in Egypt, which was a major cultural influence on the Hebrews. By actually naming this animal, the ancient writers are illustrating YAWH's omnipotence over the whole of creation, even the gods of Egypt. Thus, because the pig is named, it is probable there was a history that needed to be specifically addressed.
Still we have around ten thousand years separating the domestication of the pig and the writing of Jewish law. Many things may have come to pass and been forgotten in ten thousand years, but the Bible was not written whimsically on a sunny day in Dolores park, it was a compilation of oral traditions passed down through the generations from father to son, from mother to daughter. The writings were the sacred laws, stories, and lineage of this Semitic tribe recited by the priests who would retain the knowledge by repeating the words over and over throughout the year, ensuring that nothing was ever forgotten. Because the Jews feared their traditions would be lost following the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, which had been their center of learning and knowledge since the 9th century BCE, they wrote it all down and committed it to the Old Testament. Much of the Jewish texts were assembled during times of crises and exile. The Talmud was a result of the Romans destruction of the Second Temple at Jerusalem and the subsequent diaspora of the Jewish people across the world. Without a written standard, a manual, communities would have lost their traditions and assimilated into whatever culture dominated their new homes.
The written Bible was a compilation from many different writers in many different periods as they tried to save their laws and culture by documenting the elaborate oral traditions of the Hebrew people. These stories and rules, like the rejection of pork, became icons of Jewish tradition and culture, but as they emerged from the past it was probable that they would carry with them the echo Neolithic drama and wisdom, like the Garden of Eden, the Great Flood and the Tower of Babel. From the ancient clues left behind we may never actually know the whole truth, but I believe that most of the stories and commandments in the Bible probably came from an ancient, practical source, that was passed down from generation to generation.

AT&T Uverse - My continuing Saga of Disappointment and Frustration
Posted by
My AT&T Saga â the Continuing Story
Following is a very long timeline explaining my ordeal with AT&T.
All I wanted to do was move into a new house some five miles from my old apartment. After two and a half months of dealing with AT&T, you would think I tried to move my Uverse service to the moon.
Mid June â After several misdirected calls, several of which were routed continuously to the business division regardless of my telling the representative that I was calling about a personal account, I finally get through to the right people to move my Uverse service to a new address on 6/30/11. I request a new phone number as my old one gets calls all hours for a defunct auto repair shop. Installation date confirmed as 6/30/11 that day on the phone.
6/30/11 â No communication from AT&T and no installation tech at new address. Call placed to AT&T yields, after several hours on the phone, a final response of âWe are not sure exactly why this problem is happening though we know it is one that consistently happens when scheduling moving of service. Someone will call you tomorrow with a course of action to resolve.â
6/31/11 â no call from AT&T
7/1/11 â Called At&T back and after spending an hour and a half on the phone, no forward motion is made on the issue except another statement of âwe will call you back tomorrow MORNING to discuss resolutionâ
7/2/11 morning â no call from AT&T so I called back to be told, âno one should be telling you they will call you back the next day if they cannot commit to itâ I am told again that they are working on a resolution.
7/3/11-7/6/11 â rinse and repeat process
7/8/11 â After 10 hours on the phone over the course of one week, the response is that the order is completely messed up and âhanging in limboâ with no apparent way to correct it. I make the suggestion that perhaps they should just cancel my old service and create a whole new order which is met with a skeptical response of âI guess we could do that, but you will lose your home telephone numberâ, which of course makes me giggle hysterically as that was one of the things I initially requested â a new telephone number. New order is set up and after much discussion and hair pulling on my part, an installation date of July 25th is set upon (note that this is almost a month after I should have had service installed at the new house). I believe it was some time at this point that a credit was issued against my account for $100 because of the problems I had dealt with.
7/25/11 â AT&T tech is an absolute joy who stays for five hours to ensure that everything is set up properly. Woohoo! Light at the end of the tunnel? Just a glimmerâ¦
I receive no billing or communications on the old account after this point.
Around the beginning of September â I start getting calls from AT&T to my cell phone. I answer three âplease hold for an operator calls. The first time, I am routed to a woman who speaks so little English that it takes several minutes for her to understand what my name is and how to spell it. She says that someone is trying to install service at the apartment I used to live in and that they canât do it because there is still service in my name at the apartment. Which is funny since my service should have been disconnected at that location on 6/30/11. She says she will take care of it and we part ways.
Later that same day, I get another one of these automated calls âplease hold for an operatorâ. I get another person who speaks little English. This guy doesnât even have a clue why I was called. He sees no problem with my account and sees no flags on the account to show why I was called. I finally have to tell him that after a half hour on the phone with him, I have a meeting I have to go into as I am at work.
Because I am not confident in AT&T at this point, I later call AT&T Uverse customer service in the USA.
The first person I speak with says that they can cancel the account and then I will have to call back when I get my final bill to dispute the charges for anything after 6/30/11. I tell him that is unacceptable due to the amount of personal time I have wasted on the phone with AT&T. After another 45 minutes on the phone, I get a hold of a guy who listens to the situation and is able to go in and supposedly cancel the account, clear up the back billing and issue me a credit for anything I have over paid. He also asks if I ever received a communication about returning the equipment, which I havenât, obviously, because my old account was never cancelled. He says I will receive instructions on returning the equipment, which I did receive and then used to return the equipment. I have tracking information for this return.
A few days after I returned the equipment, I receive a bill for $491.86 - $450 of which is for unreturned equipment â which is wrong of course. This also includes billing for between 7/27/11 and 8/26/11, plus a forwarding of charges for 6/27/11-7/26/11 for which I never previously received communication.
By my account â AT&T owes me $77.88 from where they should have billed me $22.12 minus a $100 credit (pain and agony credit) for the billing period between 6/27/11 and 7/26/11 plus a credit of $128.08 (another pain and agony credit) on the bill from 7/27/11-8/26/11 totaling a credit of $205.96.
Additionally, I have wasted over 14 hours on the phone with AT&T customer service and 8 hours of paid time off from work (waiting for an installation tech who never showed up) that I will now not be able to use towards my personal vacation. Based on my rate of pay, that wasted 22 hours is worth approximately $600.00. I am not factoring in the stress of the situation, the loss of sleep, the inability to communicate with the outside world during the time between 6/30/11 and 7/27/11 in the form of a home phone or internet connection.
I am a fairly intelligent and very persistent person who insists on doing things the right and fair way. I feel for anyone who is not able to keep track of these ridiculous account issues. AT&Tâs system has created an environment in which their reps are powerless to assist customers with even the most basic of account transitions â a residential move!
Every customer service representative I have spoken with has been incredibly kind and understanding, has tried to manage my frustration, has tried to issue credits to make good on my lost time and energy, but they are facing a monolithic computer and database system that doesnât allow them to use their minds to correct issues.

ATT Uverse has hired a mob of salespeople, but the back office and field have not kept up. Horror stories abound, including my own, from their mess. I suggest everyone wait until Uverse has grown a little before committing to it.

Poor Customer Service
Posted by
SHELBY, NORTH CAROLINA -- I have my payments sent to AT&T electronically through my bank every month. I was watching TV the other day and suddenly the screen flashed a message saying my system was being rebooted and powered down. Then I noticed my internet and phone were not working either. My service had been disconnected for non-payment. I have all these services bundled through AT&T. I called the bank and my payment of $165.10 had been sent to AT&T one week prior. I did not have an outstanding balance.
I called AT&T and was told they could not find my payment and could not restore my service until they had found it. I asked to speak with a supervisor and the person that answered, who I seriously doubt was a supervisor, told me the same thing. I had the reference number from the bank, the electronic check number, and the date it had been paid which was a week prior to the disconnection. I was told by one customer service representative it could take 7-10 days for my service to be restored. I became very upset because I knew the bill had been paid.
I told them if it was not restored immediately I would look into changing my services. One representative told me to do what I had to do and didn't seem concerned in the least. I waited a few hours and called them back. I was told by ANOTHER representative that the bank always sends their payments to them by U.S. Mail in the form of a paper check. I knew this wasn't true because the bank had already told me they had sent it electronically and they never send checks to companies via the U.S.Mail. I spoke to yet another representative who spoke to me like I was a slow two year old and even, at certain points, talked baby talk to me. I was furious.
I called them back again a few hours later and was told the same thing. My payment could not be found and therefore they couldn't turn my service back on. They refused to listen when I told them I had the reference number for the payment. I even offered to fax them a copy of the payment information from my bank and they said no. Because I didn't want to go 10 days without service I paid the bill again. My service was back on within 30 minutes. Approximately 1 hour later I went online and looked at my payment history.
Miraculously they had found the original payment and credited it to my bill so I am now paid up through September. I called back and insisted they give me a confirmation number for both payments which they did. I find it hard to believe they couldn't find the original payment 1 hour prior to the other payment being made. This is the second time I've had to ask them to look for a payment. This is the first time they've ever disconnected my service though. I like Uverse programming and I have no complaints with my actual phone, internet, or Uverse services however, their customer service representatives leave a lot to be desired.
The 'baby talking' lady, at one point, even sang "la la la la" in my ear when I tried to give her the confirmation number for the original payment. Fortunately I took the names of everyone I spoke to and I plan on calling their sales department on Monday. I want to ask them if they mention their horrible customer service when attempting to sell their product. AT&T needs to realize they are no longer the only game in town when it comes to telephone service. As soon as my contract is up I will be changing everything over to a different company based on my experience with their customer service group. Although I like Uverse, I would not recommend anyone buying any of AT&T's services simply because their customer service is horrible.

20 year old. Landline # lost by AT&T Mistake. They don't care.
Posted by
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA -- This is by far the most disastrous customer service I've experienced.
My senior citizen parents who have been AT&T customers since '94. Dad decided to upgrade to an AT&T U-Verse package that somehow involved transferring the landline to their department. After the installation, my father wanted to add additional channels. Their service representative said that he is unable to act on our service, because the order is currently in "Incomplete" state and he is unable to Complete it. His solution? He DELETED our order, which spawned a whole slew of new trouble.
Both the landline of 20 years and TV service were cut on the evening of CHRISTMAS EVE and were never restored. Each time we connected to a Rep, they would dispute and claim that we're not supposed have TV or Landline (No s***, _YOU_ DELETED them!) and we have to go through 20 minutes of explaining the situation before escalation. For cases where the representative claimed we'll receive a call from their supervisor or manager, no such call ever came.
Hey, they must figure, if our record is gone, they wouldn't be accountable, right?
Finally, I got a representative who was able to find the problem. Apparently the TV package was contingent/bound to the landline number, but that was cut because the landline was deactivated. She asked, "what's the new number you would like?" Apparently, it is not possible to restore our number which THEY cut off only TWO days ago restored, even though no new user claimed it.
I explained to her supervisor that it is unacceptable to have our 20 year old landlines to be cut off just like that on an AT&T mistake and that they need to rectify it. I was told, and I quote, "It is not about whether you accept it or not. This is how it is."
Incompetent representatives, ineffective system tools and poor note-taking, and unwillingness to admit and take responsibility for their people and system issues. This is by far the worst corporation and does not deserve any future business with me or any one, and does not deserve to exist.

I suggest filing a complaint with the FCC.
nikalseyn on 12/28/2013:
Contact the agency in your state's Dept of Justice. I did a quick search and you can read this info from their website and follow the links to do so:
I had to do this---against AT and T---some 15 years ago when they tried scamming me much the same as you. It was quickly resolved after I wrote the complaint and talked to the state agency guy. Given the size of AT and T, like a governmental agency, they really don't care and no one is held responsible. Good luck.
Old Timer on 12/29/2013:
Another good example of why we left AT and T many years ago and never once looked back.

If you are considering AT&T, don't
Posted by
I have AT&T wireless and was considering moving everything else to AT&T. I decided to keep DirecTV, but switch everything else. I had Cincinnati Bell for phone & DSL. AT&T could not take the order for internet until DSL was disconnected. It was supposed to take CinBell 4 days to disconnect, but we had to wait almost 2 weeks because they lease the lines from AT&T and it took AT&T that long to disconnect the service.
I then ordered my wireless & phone (with a port of my current number) on 4/13 for install on 4/20 - and was told they would call my wife's cell 30 minutes prior to install. On 4/17, they called me to tell me I had a "slam block" on my local number and they could not port my phone until I had that removed - no problem I thought - BUT they require 4 days prior to install so I would have to reschedule. NO WAY - so I cancelled the telephone switch - their loss. Seems they could have checked that on the 13th, 14th, 15th, or 16th if they wanted my business.
When they confirmed the install I again stated they would need to call my wife's cell 30 minutes prior because I would be out of town - no problem - it's in the notes. On 4/20, I was in meetings without my phone. When I got access to the phone, I had 2 voicemails - on MINE, not my wife's - 1 stating they were waiting, but would only wait 20 minutes and 1 stating they were leaving and I would have to reschedule. I tried the installers cell, but he would not answer, so I then spent 1 hour on the phone with AT&T - about 4 or 5 different representatives. None could reach the installer, until I tried to cancel my account - they contacted dispatch and were able to reschedule for that morning - which was my ultimatum. I had ZERO desire to stay with AT&T at this point, but I had been without internet for weeks. IF they could do it that day, they kept my business, if not, I move everything to their competitor.
Unfortunately I'm about to call them again tomorrow. The speed is great, but it drops frequently for no apparent reason. It also causes a lot of static on my phone line.

Self Installation Rip-Off
Posted by
I ordered AT&T U-verse internet service with the self install option for my home. Being an electrical contractor for over forty years, I've installed hundreds of telephone systems. When I installed the equipment, the service did not work. I called AT&T tech support, and they confirmed that everything that I had done was correct. So, they would send a tech out to find the trouble.
The tech checked all the internal wiring that I had previously done and commented that it was not only professionally done, but it was correct. He told me that he needed to install a separate jack for the U-verse. He used my same wire that was there. This was never mentioned anywhere in the installation instructions or anywhere on the AT&T website. If I would have known this before he entered my house, this was something that is easily accomplished.
I asked the tech if many people who opt for the self install option end up having an extra charge and the aggravation of a tech coming into their house. He told me that honestly, most people cannot self install, but AT&T certainly doesn't tell the customer up front.
The end result was that everything now worked fine, but I am now being billed an additional $110 extra for the tech to enter my house and install the jack.
I feel very misled.

Very helpful review!
Whiteduck on 04/13/2011:
When I had mine installed, it was all free to have them do it. I have installed computer networks for over 30 years and I still thought it was a good idea to have them do it.
I would think an electrical contractor would know that there's "gotchas" in any complicated installation (as in needing it's own jack) so it's best to leave to the pros.
Was it offered for free up front?
trmn8r on 04/13/2011:
I was under the impression that U-verse installation was free. Are they charging for it now, and this is why you did it yourself?
GenuineNerd on 04/13/2011:
I don't know offhand if U-Verse's internet is the same as AT&T's DSL. With DSL, you have to put filters on every active telephone in order for the DSL to work. When I had Time Warner Road Runner, the internet came through a coaxial cable, but the cable going to the modem and telephone had to be on one branch of the splitter, with the other branches going to the cable connected to the cable boxes. I had to switch my internet and phone service from TWC to AT&T mainly due to frequent service outages due to a problem with the main line on the street. If all of your U-Verse connections are up to par, it could very well be the main street line that is the problem, not your home connections.

AT&T Lack of Service
Posted by
It's been 3 weeks since the original order was placed to have my number ported over from another carrier. AT&T, through their lack of communication, has caused delay after delay.
First, they were missing some information, that I found out about after the initial port date when I called to find out why the order wasn't complete. AT&T rewrote the order for 10 days later. Come that day, the order still wasn't complete.
After several phone calls, I spoke with a representative who said there was an error with the order and that it'd have to be rewritten again, for another 10 days in the future. When I mentioned I'd already gone through that and if there's an error now, there'll probably be an error then she was able to get someone to listen and told me the error was fixed and everything should be up in 2-3 hours.
It wasn't. I called back that night and was told by support that everything looked good and should be up by 10 pm. It wasn't.
The next morning I called and got tier 2 support who told me that everything looked good and that they'd have to reboot my router. They did, that disconnected my call and they never bothered to call back.
I called back in the evening, got tier 2 and they said that with that error, there's no way they can port the number until the error is cleared, which will be in 24-48 hours and then I'd have to wait another 5-7 days for the number to be ported. He tried to connect me with order management, sat on hold for 20 minutes at which time he came back and said the office was closed and I'd have to call them the next day.
Called the next day and order management said they could do nothing until the order was cleared and then they'd get the order rewritten and I'm looking at another 10 days for the number to be ported. I asked why I can go to a cell phone vendor and get my number ported over in 20 minutes and with AT&T it takes a month. They had no answer. There are too many departments that touch an order and that causes mess-ups. I'm pissed.

From their website: (clearly, they are making a mess for you---sorry!)
Q. How long does it take to complete a number transfer?
A. A Wireless number transfer initiated through a physical AT&T sales location typically completes within 1 to 3 business hours if there are no issues. If equipment has been ordered, the process typically takes 3 to 5 business days to allow time for shipment. Transferring a wireline number takes a minimum of 5 business days.

Tips from the inside
Posted by
I work inside UVERSE TECH SUPPORT. TOP 10 tips to help you:
**Don't get U-verse phone for elderly people who should not be living alone!
1. We are open 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Warning if you call in at 3 am you will probably get someone from overseas.
2. The RG - residential Gateway can be accessed and changed at 192.168.1.254 I do NOT recommend you making changes unless you KNOW what you are doing. If you drop your connection frequently with the wireless change network name & remove the number 2 from the beginning of the name, never start the name with a number, change the key to a non related phone number like your mothers home phone or something not related to you, but easy to remember! Be sure you have the right setting wpa/psk etc and finally change the wireless channel - be sure its not the same as your cordless phone, baby monitor or garage door opener - or the neighbors.
3. If you call tech support and the agent pauses, hesitates, says um - hold on, let me check on something that should be fairly simple or takes more than a few minutes to pull the information together (we use a database for help & support) then JUST HANG UP and call again. Really you will be more frustrated with a new or mis-guided agent than if you have to go through the automated phone system again!
4. If you get a foreign agent ask for their name and ID should be xx1234 or x1234x - say "I want an American agent" then if they don't hang up on you and the hold time isn't so bad that you hang up they are REQUIRED to transfer you!
5. if you really do want a supervisor - say so! They are more experienced, they often have much more knowledge (at least in my office) and are very good at handling upset customers.
6. Be nice. We KNOW you are upset. If you swear at me I will politely ask you to stop twice, then I WILL hang up. If you scream in my ear, we wear headsets, you will not get all of the best of my help. I will do only what I have to and if you continue to scream after I ask you to stop I WILL HANG UP. I might be having a bad day too, but I will NEVER take it out on you. I don't take your problem personally and you are welcome to vent, politely, and I WILL do everything I can to help you. Really.
7. We really can run tests that do tell us a lot, if we were taught, or if we were capable of understanding it. I will admit I don't know what a lot of it means as far as how to repair it, but I do know what information to forward to the technician for repair. I may not know how to fix it but s/he does.
8 if the tech doesn't call by 30 minutes before the end of the dispatch time - you are scheduled 8-12 and its 1130 and no tech and no tech call, call AT&T and get an update on the appt. If the tech shows up and does a great job let us know and tell a MANAGER/SUPERVISOR, agents can't do anything. IF the tech is sloppy, smelly, or don't know what he is doing call us right away! During or after appt. We can get a FIELD supervisor to assist!
9 If someone isn't helping you ask for a supervisor! They may not be able to do much more but if they can't it likely cannot be done. We are restricted in what we can do. If all else fails, threaten to disconnect. MAGIC words.
10 PLEASE! get the agent id and name for EVERY call. When you get a survey PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fill it out and send it back! WE NEED them for our jobs! and by the way the rating system is if you say you are VERY SATISFIED = 5 score we pass anything else and we fail. It is not a 0-5 score it is 0 OR 5, there is nothing in between regardless of what you rank us. 0 to 4 equals 0.
Hope that helps. Have a great day.

AT&T & U-Verse
Posted by
The FIRST PROBLEM: I had ordered the installation of U-Verse from AT&T along with an upgrade Internet Service from DSL to Pro. The service guy said it could not be installed because my 3-prong grounding wire was upstairs and my computer was on a different floor. Didn't understand why this was going to be a problem since there was going to be TV's wired on 3 different floors. He said he had to cancel my installation until I had my outlets near my computer grounded. Found out from friends that had U-Verse that they did not have their box connected near the computer and that the first installation guy that came out told them the same thing but the second guy said it was not a problem. So I called. First I was told the "box" had to be near the computer. The next person said it had to be near the main DVR box or the computer. The next person said it had to be by the main DVR box. All 3 answers came from one call after being transferred around when I told them how friends had theirs connected. Still do not have a set answer. Was told to set up installation again and see what the he next guy says!
The SECOND PROBLEM: One week (Friday) and exactly at the time my service should have been installed but was canceled by the AT&T guy, my DSL Internet service was turned off., I was on the internet just before. When I seen the time, I figured it was because I was "suppose" to have their new service and figured that was why they turned my old service off. I called, told them what I thought happened and was told, "that could not be the problem". Went through their "line testing" and was told there was a problem with the wiring either in my house or from the pole. Was sent to a tech. Told him my same thought as to what happened, was told that could not be the problem. Had to send out a tech. Tech came out the next day (Saturday). Check my house, outside, the pole and their service box. Asked if I had U-Verse, said no and told him what happened. He said I would not be able to have DSL and U-Verse, something about a confict in the wiring. Said he verified I had U-Verse according to his office and that would cause my DSL to be disconnected. Couldn't do anything until billing was open on Monday to verify! Called on Monday to verify what time they would be coming out. The phone representative did not show a "ricket" so I had to go thorough the reporting problem again. Advised what the tech told me on Saturday and was told, "they could not be the problem". Again was sent to a Tech. The first thing he asked was did I have U-Verse. Told him no and explained again. Asked me to hold and a supervisor came on the line. He explained that it was showing that I had U-Verse and that to have it, my DSL would have had to be disconnected. Explained what happened. Told me he had to call me back. He did but explained I had to tell billing that I wanted to cancel my U-Verse so he could fix the problem. Billing insisted that I had U-Verse and that if I canceled I was going to lose my TV reception. She then told me I didn't understand that I was canceling my TV service!! It took me having to raise my voice that I do not have and want whatever she shows canceled. She responded that she would have to not my file so I could not complain when I lost my TV service!
When I called to complain, after my DSL service was restore I was "thanked" for being a long time customer, I have been with AT&T for my phone for over 35 years, 10 years for my cell phone and 5 years for my internet. She responded they appreciate my business. I asked if they felt I should be compensated for the problem they caused me and was told that they again, appreciate my business! Asked to be transferred to someone I could file a complaint with and was told "it wasn't necessary, she will note my displeasure". Wasn't good enough so she gave me an addressed to write a letter to. Never heard anything back!
Changing emails and phone numbers are hard with my job and I feel they know that so don't really care. Hope others can deal with the change and not take what AT&T doesn't offer in customer service. Longevity means nothing to them, that is for sure.
Michelle ..

In all my life I have never been treated so indifferently nor have I been talked 2 like I was a moron. With that said, my 3gp flip-phone of 2 years decides 2 stop displaying, basically making the phone useless. I go 2 at and t store in middletown, NY and purchased another phone identical 2 previous one. The salesperson even said it was identical. Within a day I discovered the new phone has about 10 percent memory compared 2 old phone. Forget about going on line now since half the time icon pops up say not enough memory and closes out. I go back 2 store and I deal w a different person. I tell her situation and show her both phones side by side 2 show her they r identical and explained problem w new phone. She doesn't even offer 2 look into problem or try 2 offer a solution, instead she looks me in the eye and says they r different phones. I asked her he she was sure about that and she confidently said yes. I guess she thought I fell off the turnip truck. I asked 2 speak 2 the manager. Was told she would be in tomorrow (can u guess?). So I go back next day and again told no manager, to come back again. I went across the street 2 Verizon. Found comparable phone, still not as much memory as old phone, but 4x's more than new phone AND AT HALF THE PRICE! LITERALLY. So 2 hell w at and t. With that type of attitude they should loose enough customers soon enough 2 close.

Avoid AT&T and Uverse at all cost
Posted by
Two weeks ago, I made the mistake of calling AT&T to attempt to lower my bill by taking call waiting and call forwarding off of a dedicated fax line in a home office. After speaking with several people, I was advised that I did not need a separate fax line, and could have what they called a ringmaster, which would allow my main number to receive faxes which would roll to my fax machine. It sounded fine to me, so I agreed. OH MY GOSH....WHAT A MISTAKE. My fax line no longer worked, and thus the nightmare began.
Several days later, I received a modem, which I already had, did not request, and in fact did not even discuss with AT&T. The next day, I received a letter saying that they had done a credit check and that I would not be allowed to purchase anything from them. I had not requested a purchase, or authorized a credit check. Additionally, my credit is excellent, so I was scared that I was a victim of identity theft. I checked my credit and it is 780, so I'm still not sure what this was about.
I called AT&T to attempt to get my inoperable fax issue resolved. After >45 minutes lost in a call rotation, and speaking to very incompetent people...I got a manager. She assured me that she could resolve the problem and even offered to save me a lot of money on my cable TV service. She offered me rebate money and restaurant giftcards. I told her that I wanted to think about it since I had had such a bad experience with my fax number. She said she would just set me up with an appointment and I could cancel if I changed my mind.
My fax number still doesn't work, and my phone has now been taken hostage....I have spoken with 18 people at AT&T and spent 6 hours and 17 minutes on the phone. They are unalbe to fix it and the level of incompetence with the employees is astounding.
I have now spoken with their consumer complaints dept. and even they were rude, and seemingly unable to fix the problem.
Whatever you do.....DO NOT AGREE TO SIGN UP FOR UVERSE. I have looked on the internet, and there are hundreds of pages of complaints about it.

AT&T Uverse is Horrific, RUN!
Posted by
Installed Uverse on 3/31/09
Messed up my cell voicemail-had Uverse Voicemail tied together with it, lost my Lifetime Tivo service, No Internet for over a month, was sent bills in the $300 range for the past 2 months for services that were malfunctioning. I have logged about 30+ hours of wasted time on the phone with both billing and mostly tech support. They refuse to transfer you to talk to the same person twice so each day I had to start over with tier 1 tech support even tho my case had been accelerated to management and engineers (some computer glitch kept hard suspending my account when they'd try to cancel the TV portion)When I tried to put everything back to the pre-Uverse trial, I was told I could not (hows that for a 30 day trial?) because there was no longer an open port in my area to put me back on DSL, all full-- CSR or managers do NOT return phone calls at all. If you get into the late afternoon and they have not called you back--you won't hear from them again! I'd say 90% never called back and that's no exaggeration. The last thing I'll mention is AT&T finally got the glitch fixed it all fix after 2 months of basic DAILY HELL & hours on the phone, 3 afternoons in a row waiting 4+ hours for no show techs. After several more days of badgering the phones I was given credit for only the services I didn't receive and NO not a penny for inconvenience or loss of use.
The topper--yesterday a billing manager called full of attitude before the word go as I started explaining my situation for the gazillionth time. She asked things like "who said these were engineers? Do you have the names and phone numbers of each individual person on the so-called "engineering team"? I don't understand what your "internet wasn't working means?" Then amazingly she replied, "we don't have any record of any problems with this account". When I tried to explain how that is impossible that I have been working with (and she asked for clarification as to what "working with means") I was mid sentence explaining and she abruptly interrupted with. "I'll have to call you back." and hung up. She has not called back. That's it, I'm outta here! Next week I'm finding new service and I'll NEVER do business with AT&T again. Previous to this, I had been a happy customer for 15 consecutive years with phone, cell, & Internet services.
When I returned the DVR at my local UPS Store a couple days ago, the clerk inquired as to what is happening, in his little store alone he has return about 600 units in the past 2 months--tell you something? Think Uverse is wonderful? Wait until you have a problem, then we'll talk. (smile)

ReshondaIowaHairBlackNormal HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Results!I have natural, thick, 4B hair, so I have lots of shrinkage. I was given a sample of this product to try. You don't need to use very much of it. I still have half of my sample packet left. After 3 full days, my hair is still straight! I thought my hair would revert quickly, like usual, but it didn't. It is still straight, and silky smooth. I don't wear my hair straight very often, but this will be the product that I use when I do straighten it. I love the results!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

This is Papa Ash's first review and blog post and definitely not his last on Everything Mom and Baby.
|photo from Indigo.ca
Yes, I am the hardest type of person to sell an eReader to. Yet, just the other day, I found myself extolling the virtues of the Kobo Vox eReader from Indigo Book Store to a fellow literary Luddite, and feeling very passionate about converting them to the 21st Century way. How could this have happened? I was late to CD's (still haven't quite figured MP3 players), cell phones and even email. Two weeks with the Kobo Vox and I'm feeling like I'm finally at the forefront of something big. Here's what I've discovered:
It's as portable and convenient as any book, and more so than some giant hardcovers, and the pages don't get all mussed and bent in my valise. (Okay, more like a man purse).
The Kobo Vox can hold a WHOLE lot of books without the need of more bookshelves - and it doesn't get any heavier! Certainly anyone who's had to move residences with a copious amount of books knows what I mean. And apparently not everyone loves having books as the predominant furniture in the house. Hi honey!
(side note, Mama Ash here...I don't mind all the books! I just wish we had nicer book shelves and room for all them!)
Here's a beautiful bonus that I wasn't really aware of, but it's way cheaper to buy eBooks. Got your attention with that one didn't I. New books especially. Like I said above, get to an Indigo book store (great kids area too) or order online from Indigo.ca, one of our favorite places to get books and I do love going to bookstores. Nothing will replace that bookstore smell and spending leisurely time leafing through the fascinating and disparate titles (usually while my wife is at Winners), but heck, you can still buy the books online! And even in the middle of the night! Or on the bus! Or while sitting at the park!
Sometimes when I'm engrossed in a book, a word may come up that I'm unfamiliar with, or have spent many years with a sort of partial, nebulous understanding of (nonplussed anyone?) largely because I haven't been bothered to go find a dictionary and improve my vocabulary. With the Kobo Vox, the definition is a mere touch of the finger away. I like that. It also charts your reading progress in about a million different and unique ways, gives little rewards, and allows you to chat with other like-minded folks. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Why just the tip you ask?
Because it is also tablet! As you may have guessed, I am not the most techno-connected person on the planet, but come on! I can go from reading my book to checking emails, to facebook, to surfing the web without moving an inch. Anywhere, anytime. Remember, I am a person who wouldn't walk four steps to grab a dictionary. Neat things just keep popping up everytime I use it.
Will I give up my books altogether? No. But I never thought I'd be trying to convert other book lovers either. The Kobo Vox is the perfect enhancer to the book loving experience!
And by the way, 'nonplussed' means 'completely perplexed'. I'm no longer nonplussed.

It took me a while to get into but once I was past the first few chapters I was hooked! I loved all the characters and couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I was gutted when it finished, although she has left it open for another. I really hope she writes more, Twilight or Hosts cause I love them all.Sass

NEW YORK STATE -- With winter quickly approaching, it is important to keep in mind driving safety.
Although last year was one of the warmest winters we've seen, we will likely have colder temperatures and more snow this year.
The New York State Department of Transportation is beginning to prepare for the upcoming season. The DOT urges drivers to make sure their vehicles are ready for winter and to always check road conditions before traveling. One of their biggest reminders for drivers is to stay clear of plows.
"All we ask is people stay back. If they stay back, let us clear the road, get a good layer of material down, then they'll have a nice clear road so they can get to work," said NYSDOT Highway Maintenance Worker Rick Martinez.
"Our trucks travel no more than 35 miles per hour. Now that's whether they're on an expressway or on a two-lane roadway," said Charles Morgante, NYSDOT Region 5 Operations Director. Being aware of plows on the road is just part of being a safe winter driver.
You can head to www.dot.ny.gov for DOT resources, including how to recover from a skid and other winter driving tips.

The proposed rule released by the EPA lowers the required consumption of conventional renewable fuel to 13.01 billion gallons, despite the law mandating consumption of 14.4 billion gallons, and below the 2013 level of 13.8 billion gallons. It also provides that biodiesel remains at 1.28 billion gallons; EPA has also proposed to reduce the total advanced biofuels requirement, which also limits the opportunities for biodiesel.

Shay Mitchell's Body Peace Advice!
This PLL star has had to deal with her fair share of body bullies. Now, she wants to share how she got over the haters and learned to love her bodyand how you can, too.
By Macey Hall
Realize No One Is Perfect
"When I was modeling, I had always been told 'If you could lose a couple of inches, you'll work so much more,' or 'You'll do so much better if you were just a little bit skinnier.' I finally realized that no one is perfect and that I like the fact that I look different and don't have the perfect body. No one does!"

Wow this made me feel like a kid again, thanks for the direction Tom. I lined the bottom of my 120gal and I covered it with eco at the back of the tank where all the larger plants go, and fluorite black sand at the front half where my HC goes. But what a process, I had to do three batches before I had enough and it took me all night. I started elbow deep in mud mixing off the floaters. After I had several pots of boiling mud on the stove at once and got hit with many boiling popping mud bubbles, had to do a few rounds of this. The rinsing after you boil them was next to impossible for me. I let the mud pots cool and by that time most of the casing had dropped to the bottom, I would try to carefully poor off the watter on the top trying not to let the castings mix into the watter again. Once I had most the watter poured off I would fill with watter again and repeat. I did this over a dozen times on each pot but never did my watter run clear. I dried them under my tank lights over night and was able to mix them with sand the next day. In the end I ended up with about an inch of casting mix to line my substrate. It was a tone of work so I hope it work as good a people say.
About rinsing till the water goes clear, was I doing that wrong or does anyone get it clear?
After adding the rest of my substrate, filling the tank with watter and planting it I still had no water clouding.
