I was screwed by Diamond Triumph Auto Glass
Posted by
ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Tread lightly before choosing Diamond Triumph Auto Glass to perform an auto glass windshield repair or replacement. They ruined my windshield and now refuse own up to the mistake and to pay to replace it. I am currently filing a complaint with The Better Business Bureau, NC Attorney General, small claims court and calling for a national boycott of their product and services until my case is resolved to my satisfaction. See my story below.
A Diamond Triumph Auto Glass technician arrived at my house to perform a $50 windshield 'repair'. Without fully explaining to me the process he was going to use or showing me a disclaimer or notice, he proceeded to drill the bebe-sized chip in my windshield. About 30 seconds later, he says "Well, I've never seen that happen before". And now, what was a tiny chip is a quarter-sized divot out of my windshield.
He now says that the entire windshield will need to be replaced! Now, my insurance company was willing to waive my deductible and pay for the $50 repair cost, costing me zero. At this point, since the cost of replacement is $285, I would be responsbile for paying the cost out of pocket because to cost is less than my deductible.
The technician also told me on the phone that I did not need to be present during the repair, though I was. Even if they did have a comphresive process in place, how would I have been given a disclaimer about the possible risk of a botch (which I wasn't)if I hadn't been there.
Due to lack of proper procedure and disclaimer, I feel strongly that Diamond Triumph Auto Glass is fully responsible for the cost of replacing my windshield. It was through their own error and lack of process that a routine repair costing me nothing turned into a full replacement costing me hundreds of dollars and missed work.
Even more laughable, is the 'Guarantee' for customer satisfaction listed on their web site. I was obviously not satisfied with this outcome or the company's lack of accountability for their mistakes. All I asked is that they take responsibility for their actions and eat the full cost for replacing my windshield that they botched. In my estimation, if Diamond Triumph Auto Glass truly valued their relationship with their customers, they would have handled this issue with more professionalism.

If you take it to small claims you're job is going to be to prove neglegence on behalf of the repairman. Make sure there was no way they could have given you any sort of documentation citing any no-fault disclaimers or anything like that. I've often been sworn up and down to that no documentation was given only to have someone call me back and say "oops...I found it...sorry"

Yeah, that's no good. Hope you call the BBB on them.

10 bucks says that when the consumer signed the work invoice the disclaimer about windshield repair is printed on it. For the record, windshields may be correctly repaired about 80% of the time provided the chip is no larger than a dime
Mad Eye Moody on 12/14/2005:
However, a dime can only be repaired 65% of the time, and it costs about 30 cents just to have it looked at.

You think this is bad....I was employed by this company for 8 1/2 years ...the horror stories I could tell starting with how they fired me when I needed to care for my disabled child.
spriguy21 on 06/14/2007:
As a claims adjuster that deals with auto glass claims solely, I find it hard to believe they did not tell you about the repair process. I've done work with about 80% of the glass shops in the country and each and every one tells the customer when they schedule the appointment about the risk of a failed repair. Even tho I dislike Diamond, I know for a fact they tell everyone about the risk. A repair is not guaranteed, so what. Get over it. It's your own fault for not carrying a lower deductible.
flanny on 11/22/2008:
I also worked there for a number of years, about 4 or 5, I forget. I was earning but 25 cents over the 10 dollars an hour I started at at the time I left and moved away for greener pastures. I know whatever "deals" they may offer a customer comes at the expence of the poor worker that has to work there, many, low paid work release workers. Management workers however were, I understand, well paid even if most their tenures were short lived due to shady and underhanded business practices at the upper levels. For my own piece of mind as I am still somewhat disgruntal from my own bout with unfair business practices, have vowed to stear business away from them where ever possible and to date have steared enough prospective customers away to more than make up the 1600 they bilked me out of unemployment compensation.

Shoddy Repair
Posted by
The first week of April 2006, I contacted Diamond Triumph for a bid to replace the windshield on my 2005 Buick Rendezvous. They came in with the lowest bid of approximately $650 -- the highest bid was well over $1,000.
I made my appointment to have my windshield replaced. This was the first week of April. The tech replaced the windshield and told me not to drive the car for at least 2 hours. He did tell me he had some difficulty installing the windshield as it was "so big".
Immediately upon driving the vehicle I knew something was wrong. There was a horrible air leak on the left side as well as on the right side. I took the car to the car wash and my fears were confirmed...water came POURING in on me! Thankfully it was a touchless carwash and I was able to drive out before I became totally flooded. Upon examining the windshield closer the molding around the outside didn't even match up.
I called the Diamond Triumph. They agreed to send the tech back. However, he thought he might break the windshield when trying "fix" it so I had to over a week until he ordered another one.
The tech came back, I'm not sure what he did, but he didn't put a new windshield in or even remove the old one and reset it. It didn't leak water anymore, however I still had horrible wind noise on the right side.
Long story not quite so long, I had the tech there 4 times. The windshield was never fixed.
Finally, my husband called Diamond-Triumph and pretty much gave them an ultimatum. If they couldn't to come remove their windshield and refund my money. On June 21, I had them remove the windshield and on June 22, I had Safelite Auto Glass come and install a new windshield. This tech showed me where the Diamond tech had tried to fix his mistakes by filling in the gaps with goop.
Within an hour the Safelite tech had a new windshield installed CORRECTLY. Yes, it was $200 more than the lowest bid but it was done correctly the first time.
I have nothing positive to say about Diamond Triumph Auto Glass. It took me almost 2 months to get my windshield replaced correctly. I just got my refund check yesterday, July 19, 2006.

Well jammr at least you were persistent enough to get them to get it out and get a new put in by someone else. Thanks for the info but where is Diamond Triumph Auto Glass so I will know where not to go?
jammr72 on 07/22/2006:
Lidman: Diamond/Triumph is a national company. Their main call center is in Pennsylvania. Another reason it is so difficult to get through to someone who can actually help.

Asus: ROG Maximus II Formula and Gene officially introduced
Manufacturer Asus has introduced the socket 1156 boards Maximus III Formula and Maximus III Gene. The Intel P55 chipset motherboards offer additional features of overclockers and gamers.
Power Pack: Asus ROG Maximus III Formula and Gene [Source: view picture gallery]
Now it's official: After several rumors about the Asus ROG Maximus III Gene and the Maximus II Formula the two new P55 boards are now listed on the company website, too.
Both motherboards support Intel's new Lynnfield processors for the socket LGA1156 and deliver - unspecified - support for DDR3-2133 RAM. Features like ROG Connect, Memperfect and Gamefirst are supposed to optimize the dataflow and adjust it to the individual requirements. Thus Asus wants to make sure that the boards become especially attractive to gamers and overclockers.
Currently the Asus Maximus III Formula and the Maximus III Gene are listed for about 205 respectively 175 Euros by European shops. The first shipments are expected for next week.

One of the more ironic things about sin taxes on items such as cigarettes is how often the revenue generated by them is spent on things like education. On one hand, we tax people who smoke, partially in hopes of making the habit so expensive they'll be encouraged to quit. On the other hand, we rely on smokers to generate the revenue that allows states to pay teachers more money, perhaps build scholarships fund and finance other things that we believe are good for society.
So, we're both encouraging people to quit smoking yet rely on smokers to pay for things that we value. If the objective of reducing smoking is reduced significantly, the revenue for a lot of things would drop. It's an odd system.

Fact of the Day: Olympics Edition
The Nobel Prize/Olympic medal divide
For those disheartened by Israel's poor, shutout performance in the Olympics this year–a panel is being appointed to investigate the failure–there is a silver lining.
According to some crowdsourcing among the Twitterati, Israel is one of six countries in the world with more Nobel prizes (10) than Olympic medals (7). The others are Myanmar, Guatemala, East Timor, Yemen, Bangladesh, and St Lucia. And of those countries, it looks like Israel has the most of both.
This is, of course, the last-picked-in-kickball riposte. But we'll take it.

The Callaway HEX Black Tour X-Out golf ball strikes the perfect balance
of Tour performance for both the control freak and the distance-seeker. Engineered
with a highly durable urethane cover, it's designed for Optimized Tour Performance.
The HEX Black Tour promotes a lower spin off the tee for increased distance
in your long game and features high spin on approach shots for unparalleled
control and ultimate stopping power into the green. From powerful ball speeds
to a penetrating ball flight and soft feel, the HEX Black Tour golf balls
offer the ultimate blend of Tour control and distance.
What is an X-Out? An X-Out is a ball that has small, sometimes unnoticeable

text: 5 A modern ClassicNogoodboyo | 25/11/2007 | See all Nogoodboyo's reviews (11)How do you follow an album like Mutter? Just ask the Germans they know!!! From the majestic intro of Reise Reise that makes you feel like you have just been wheeled out of a tunnel and into the belly of the Rammstein monster to the madness of Mein Teil, the fury of Keine Lust and the sardonic comedy genious of Amerika Rammstein have created another brilliant vehicle to wrench themsleves further toward world domination. Can you also forget the cool sillyness of Moskau and Til Lindemans tearful vocal on Ohne Dich. The ignorant x-factor generation want to label them as marginal german goth weirdos with an act based on fear- well they might be all of that but they also are far more creative, humourous and intelligent than mainstream pop today ever will be.

Paris-Sorbonne University (also known as Paris IV) (French: Université Paris-Sorbonne, Paris IV), is a public research university in Paris, France. It was established in 1970 after the division of the University of Paris, the world's second oldest academic institution founded in the 12th century, following the cultural revolution of French May 1968. Paris-Sorbonne University is one of the inheritors of the former Humanities and Languages faculties of the University of Paris.
The university is ranked 227 in the world by the 2014 QS World University Rankings.[2] According to the QS Ranking, Paris-Sorbonne University is positioned as the second university for Arts and Humanities in France.[3] The international approach and the quality of its teachers is recognized worldwide, with the university having the overall highest reputation of all academic institutions in France, according to The Times Higher Education.[4]
The university enrolls about 24,000 students composed of 20 departments specializing in arts, humanities and languages, divided in 12 campuses in Paris. Seven of the campuses are situated in the historic Latin Quarter, including the historic Sorbonne university building, and three in Marais, Malesherbes and Clignancourt respectively. Paris-Sorbonne also houses France's prestigious communication and journalism school, CELSA, located in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, maintains about 400 international agreements, and is a founding member of Sorbonne Universities.

Paris-Sorbonne University (Paris IV) — as is Pantheon-Sorbonne University (Paris I) and New Sorbonne University (Paris III) — is often referred to as the Sorbonne (French: la Sorbonne) after the theological college (Collège de Sorbonne), founded in 1257 by Robert de Sorbon of the historic University of Paris. All three of them are represented in the historic Sorbonne university building situated in the Latin Quarter in central Paris.
The historic University of Paris (French: Université de Paris) first appeared in the second half of the 12th century, but was reorganized in 1970 as 13 autonomous universities after the student protests of the French May. Following months of conflict between students and authorities at the University of Paris at Nanterre, the administration shut down that university on May 2, 1968. Students of the Sorbonne protested the closure and the threatened expulsion of several students at Nanterre on May 3, 1968. More than 20,000 students, teachers and supporters marched towards the Sorbonne, still sealed off by the police, who charged, wielding their batons, as soon as the marchers approached. While the crowd dispersed, some began to create barricades out of whatever was at hand, while others threw paving stones, forcing the police to retreat for a time. The police then responded with tear gas and charged the crowd again. Hundreds more students were arrested. Negotiations broke down and students returned to their campuses after a false report that the government had agreed to reopen them, only to discover the police still occupying the schools. The students now had a near revolutionary fervor. Another protest was organized on the Rive Gauche by students on May 10. When the riot police again blocked them from crossing the river, the crowd again threw up barricades, which the police then attacked at 2:15 in the morning after negotiations once again foundered. The confrontation, which produced hundreds of arrests and injuries, lasted until dawn of the following day.
Well over a million people marched through Paris on Monday, May 13; the police stayed largely out of sight. Prime Minister Georges Pompidou personally announced the release of the prisoners and the reopening of the Sorbonne. However, the surge of strikes did not recede. Instead, the protesters got even more active. When the Sorbonne reopened, students occupied it and declared it an autonomous "people's university." Approximately 401 popular action committees were set up in Paris, including the Occupation Committee of the Sorbonne, and elsewhere in the weeks that followed to take up grievances against the government and French society. With the fall of the French Fourth Republic in 1958, and after the tumultuous events of May 1968, the French Fifth Republic proposed various drastic reforms of the French university system. In 1971, the five ancient faculties of the former University of Paris were split and then re-formed into thirteen interdisciplinary universities by the Faure Law. Four of these new universities now share the premises of the historic Sorbonne building, which, until that time, had been mainly reserved for the Faculties of Arts and Human Sciences. These four universities were also given other premises in different locations throughout Paris. Three universities have kept the Sorbonne name as part of their official title: the University of Paris I Pantheon-Sorbonne, University of Paris III - Sorbonne nouvelle and the University of Paris IV Paris-Sorbonne. The Sorbonne premises also house part of the Paris Descartes University (inheritor of the Medicine department) and the Chancellery, the educational authority of Paris.
After May 1968[edit]
Since its establishment following the university reforms, 'la Paris-Sorbonne' has been governed by five presidents; the founding president, historian Alphonse Dupront, was succeeded by the philosopher Raymond Polin, who was followed by Hellenist Jacques Bompaire. Next came religious historian Michel Meslin and subsequently Jean-Pierre Poussou, a historian of the urban and contemporary world. In May 1998, Georges Molinié, a specialist in modern French stylistics, was elected. He was replaced by geographer Jean-Robert Pitte in 2003. Following the University's elections in March 2008, Georges Molinié was re-elected President of Paris-Sorbonne.[5]
Their initiatives have been aimed at promoting the cultural heritage of the University of Paris, with a focus on disciplines in the humanities. This purpose was furthered by giving top priority to the study of civilizations and to the strong teaching of the classics. These various presidents have also provided the impetus for numerous innovations whose aim has been to adapt the education given at the University of Paris to the demands of the 21st century. Because one of the main concerns of the University is the integration of students into the working world, it facilitates internships, has created increasingly work-oriented courses of study for students of the arts and has organized numerous courses aimed at preparing students for competitive civil service exams.
At the head of Paris-Sorbonne is the President, elected by members of the Council of Administration for a four-year tenure. The current president is Barthélémy Jobert.
Council of Administration[edit]
The President of Paris-Sorbonne presides over the Council of Administration which meets multiple times during a school year who heads Paris-Sorbonne's administration and academics and votes upon its annual financial budget. The President is assisted by two Vice-Presidents and several professors elected by their respective academic departments.
Central Councils[edit]
Three Central Councils made up of elected members from the student body, professors and the administration reflect on important questions concerning the University's current and future projects and academics. Each member serves a two-year tenure and is elected by the student body.
Scientific Council[edit]
The Scientific Council, composed of professors elected by the Council of Administration, reflects upon various possible changes to current research techniques and standards of the University. It ensures a strong link between the University's teaching and research.
In 2013 Paris-Sorbonne ranked 216th in the world, according to the QS World University Rankings,[6] 26th in the world for Philosophy,[7] 16th for Modern Languages[7] and 36th for History,[7]
The university has been ranked 64 in Social sciences and management according to the Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings 2011 and 2012.
It is a founding member of Sorbonne Universités, an alliance with two other prestigious French universities specializing respectively in law and Sciences, Panthéon-Assas University and Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University. This alliance gives to the Paris-Sorbonne University students the possibility to study Sciences, Law and Political Sciences in several Dual Degrees. In 2012, two Graduate Certificates in Law are accessible for all the students member of the alliance "Sorbonne Universities" (Paris-Sorbonne University, Panthéon-Assas University, Pierre-and-Marie-Curie University).
Unité de Formation et de Recherche[edit]
The Savary Law of 1984 restructered academic departments in French universities. Each department was made into a UFR, "Unité de formation et de recherche" or Research and Formation Unit that offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. Each UFR at Paris-Sorbonne is governed by a director elected from the department, who presides over a council of elected professors who control its curriculum. Students must already have acquired an intermediate profiency in any foreign language before choosing to major in it. One-year intensive language programs are offered in Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Belarusian and Arabic to newcomers who wish to acquire basic proficiency in order to major in one of the listed languages. These programs are certified by a university diploma outside of the Bologna Process. Language programs certified by a university diploma outside of the Bologna Process that do not lead to a major program are also offered in modern Greek and Catalan.
Paris-Sorbonne hosts one of France's most prestigious communication and journalism school, CELSA, Centre d'études littéraires et scientifiques appliquées located in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. However, admissions to CELSA are made directly to the school and not to Paris-Sorbonne. Approximately 700 students attend classes at CELSA and obtain degrees in journalism, corporate communications, intercultural management, marketing and advertising, human resource management, and multimedia studies. CELSA's faculty is a combination of academics from the Sorbonne and professionals from a variety of business sectors. Faculty members use a variety of teaching methods including case studies, lecture/discussions, team projects, simulation exercises and independent studies. The journalism section admits students with a three-year post-secondary school qualification. It is one of the most selective and prestigious programmes in journalism in the country. Each year, around 850 candidates apply for admission, though only 25 are offered a place
Paris-Sorbonne has twelve campuses and six libraries spread across Paris
The University's central campus is the historic central Sorbonne building in the Latin Quarter. Before the 19th century, the Sorbonne occupied several buildings. The chapel was built in 1622 by the then-Provisor of the University of Paris, Cardinal Richelieu, during the reign of Louis XIII. In 1881, politician Jules Ferry decided to convert the Sorbonne into one single building. Under the supervision of Pierre Greard, Chief Officer of the Education Authority of Paris, Henri-Paul Nénot constructed the current building from 1883 to 1901 that reflects a basic architectural uniformity. The integration of the chapel into the whole was also Nénot's work with the construction of a cour d'honneur. The Sorbonne building is generally reserved for undergraduate students in their third year and graduate students in certain academic disciplines. Only students in Semitic studies, regardless of level, take all their classes at the Sorbonne campus.
The Library of the Sorbonne is shared by several Parisian universities. It is open exclusively to undergraduate students in their third year and graduate students. With the former archives of the now-defunct University of Paris, 2,500,000 books, 400,000 of them ancient, 2,500 historical manuscripts, 18,000 doctoral dissertation papers, 17,750 past and current French and international periodicals and 7,100 historical printing plates, the Library of the Sorbonne is the largest university library in Paris.
Maison de la Recherche[edit]
The Maison de la Recherche campus is the central building for doctoral studies that hosts the history and geography departments. It houses the Serpente Library that has 55,000 works and 292 past and current French and international periodicals. All doctoral dissertations since January 1, 1986 have been stored at the Serpente Library.
Clignancourt and Malesherbes[edit]
The two biggest campuses apart from the main Sorbonne building are the Clignancourt and Malesherbes centers. Undergraduate students in their first and second years of study in Philosophy, History, Geography, English and Spanish take their classes at the Clignancourt center. The Clignancourt Library contains 78,000 works, 210 French and international periodicals and 800 educational DVDs.
Undergraduate students in their first and second years of study in French literature, French language, Latin, Ancient Greek and Musicology take their classes at the Malesherbes center. All undergraduate students in these academic disciplines study in the central Sorbonne building in their third year. Undergraduate and graduate students in German studies, Slavic studies, Italic studies and Romanian studies, regardless of level, take all of their classes at the Malesherbes center. The Malesherbes center also hosts three research centers in Italian culture, the cultures and literature of central Europe and the Balkans and the Germanic, Nordic and Dutch centers. The Malesherbes Library contains 200,000 works specializing in the study of foreign languages and cultures and 1,200 past and current French and international periodicals. More than 50,000 doctoral dissertations are available for public viewing.
Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie[edit]
Undergraduate Art History and Archeology students take their classes at the Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie, located at the main entrance of the Jardin du Luxembourg. Constructed by architect Paul Bigot between 1925 and 1930, the Mesopotamian-style building was classified as a national historical building in 1996. It hosts the Michelet Library that contains 100,000 volumes of work on art history and archeology with 100 French and international periodicals. Only 10,000 of the art history and archeology works are open to students, the others requiring special authorization of usage. Graduate Art History and Archeology students take their courses at the Institut National de l'Histoire de l'Art in the Galerie Colbert, a partnered national institution of the University.
Other campuses[edit]
Both the Institut d'Urbanisme et d'Aménagement and the Institut d'Etudes hispanique in the Latin Quarter host third year and graduate students of Geography and Iberian and Latin American studies. The Marcel Bataillon Library houses the Institut d'Etudes hispaniques' collection of 25,000 works on Iberian and Latin-American culture. Catalan studies take place at the Centre d'Etudes catalanes in the Marais.
Paris-Sorbonne in Abu Dhabi[edit]
An exclusive international agreement between Paris-Sorbonne and the government of Abu Dhabi was signed on February 19, 2006, starting plans to bring Paris-Sorbonne University to Abu Dhabi. The Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi (PSUAD) was established on May 30, 2008 on Reem Island by a decree of the ruler of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates. All programs are taught in the French language. An intensive French language programme is offered for one or two year(s) to students who do not meet the French language requirement for registration. The establishment of the university demonstrates the keenness of Abu Dhabi to create an international hub in culture and education, having also signed a contract with the Louvre in 2007 to create the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and with New York University in 2007 to create New York University Abu Dhabi. PSUAD is jointly governed by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) and by PSUAD's board of six members, three of whom are appointed by the home Paris-Sorbonne University, the other three appointed by the Abu Dhabi Executive Council. The President of PSUAD and Chairman of the Board is the President of the home Paris-Sorbonne University, currently Georges Molinié. Academic programs are offered at the undergraduate level only in the social sciences, humanities and fine arts.
Student life[edit]
Student life is centered on Paris. The central locations of Paris-Sorbonne's campuses allows for easy access to the cultural and social lives of the Capital.
The Service Culturel des Étudiants (SCDE) or Cultural Service of Students ensures free access to all permanent exhibitions of Parisian museums for students under the age of 25. Reductions are available for membership cards to Parisian museums that allow for access to all temporary exhibitions and discounts on guided visits. The SCDE organizes a yearly calendar of free theatrical, musical and cultural events. 250 tickets to the Paris Opera and other Parisian theaters are bought each year and are given to students on a first come, first served basis. Art History and Archeology students have free access to all the châteaux in the Parisian region, including the Palace of Versailles. The SCDE hosts several cultural ateliers open to all students.
Students of Music and Musicology make up the official Choir and Orchestra of the Sorbonne. Several public concerts are given each year in the Richelieu Amphitheater of the Sorbonne and in other public venues in Paris.

Interesting observations...2013 will be filled with surprises, for sure, but to be clear, we really don't know, do we?
As for UFOs, and the visitors, whoever or whatever they may be, I have never really pictured them in an event that removes all doubt for the world. I see them as more personal. All great mysteries seem to occur that way, and not unlike Moses and God appearing as a burning bush. Now, I ask you, if your good friend or neighbor told you that story about himself, how would you take it?
While it would be great if the government sat up, cried 'Uncle!' and finally acknowledged their secrets, it probably ain't going to happen, because they have so little true understanding of it themselves that I feel certain that they do not want to let on that they also have no control over it. And they are all about control, no? However, those of us in the 'know' have set our own path, and with no real constraints on how we think and feel. They truly have no control over us, at least not our souls.
Happy New Year!
Would someone explain how to listen to this on my iPad using the Goodreads app as Whitley suggested? I can't seem to figure it out.
Whitley, that was wonderful! I have tears in my eyes. I so appreciate you. I hope that this year I can go to your conference and meet you in person.
Who knows what the Gods would do?
@itslaura. In the GoodReader app -- not goodreads--- there is a web browser, find it under the heading 'Web Downloads'. Use this to go to unknowncountry.com and press on the audio link you want to listen to. It will give you an option to 'Download Linked File'. Press that. It will download that audio program and you can begin listening to it in goodreader.
Oh! you don't have to download the file really. Stream it by pressing the option 'Follow Link' instead. (I got a little error message but i dismissed it, it then started streaming normally.)
@sophie Thank you SO MUCH. I drove myself crazy all day trying to figure out why I couldn't figure out how to listen using Goodreads. So it's Goodreader we want, not Goodreads!
I used to be able to listen to the show on my iPad without any problems, now it only plays the beginning then restarts. I wonder if that started happening when iOS 6 was released.
Thanks again.
Right on! Cosmic Librarian, the only thing we really know is the truth of our own inner being!
I agree with you Whitley. I don't know exactly where the information came from but I have been casually sharing with my friends the fate of mankind. Life of humanity only has two true paths, to evolve (or ascend as is often the term these days) or go instinct. I have been sharing this message since I was a teenager. Although something tells me that at a certain level we have crossed to threshold of evading extinction. However the birthing pains of a new humanity are to be still, it is a fundemtal mechanism of progress. Without struggle there is no progress as stated so many different way from many great souls over the years. I think the one thing you may have left out is economics and how it has shown its card of sustainability.
So you have solar flares, climate change, economics, and the beings from outside of our consciousness which all stand at our cusp. You see it and I see it. I see this as part of the falling of the veil. However, I think the others will not become part of our every waking day reality until the other cards of probability are dealt.
Thank you Whitley for everything that you and Ann do. We are very grateful for your voice and the insights that you share with us. Happy New year Year!!!
Thank you Whitley...V.
Whitley has stated, here and other times, that we will have to wait a long time to recur/reincarnate because Earth is in the birthing process for a new world to emerge.
But, TIME (past/present/future) is simultaneous, right?
So, the soul (individually or collectively) would not have to "wait" to recur/reincarnate. It would simply opt for a suitable time-stream and make different/better choices.
Maybe this is the purpose of multiple dimensions, to provide the soul opportunity to ascend/transition.
Fabulous presentation Whitley, and lots of food for thought! Thanks.
Wow- Had to dust myself off after that one whit! Holy Mind blower Batman! I could certainly feel and hear the excitement in your voice through that whole thing! Im excited too, and as always... a little scared! I feel so lucky to be graced by your life experiences and plan to expand on my own journey, which would be a more limited perception if not for all that you've shared! Happy New Year to you and Anne my brother! Namaste...
remember, you can't chase or seek joy , you must ---have joy.

Gus's Fried Chicken Announces 2nd Little Rock Location
Posted 5/29/2014 12:45 pm
Updated 7 months ago
Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken announced on Thursday that it will open a second Little Rock location later this summer, at 400 Bowman Curve in west Little Rock at the space formerly occupied by Buffalo Grill.
The Facebook announcement came after Arkansas Business contacted one of the partners in the enterprise, Will Slabaugh of Little Rock, about a mixed-drink permit recently sought on behalf of Gus's Fried Chicken of Little Rock West. J. Daniel Bryant of Little Rock, another partner on the Gus's team, sought the permit from the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
In May 2013, Gus's opened its first Little Rock location, in the River Market District in downtown Little Rock. It was the Memphis chain's first franchise, said Slabaugh, an investment analyst with Stephens Inc. of Little Rock.
Following is the Facebook announcement:
"After a much appreciated response to our first year on President Clinton Ave., we've decided to open our second location. Our Gus's family is very pleased to announce we'll be opening in West Little Rock later this summer. We are even more excited to have been able to find such a great location in the space formerly occupied by Buffalo Grill, which operated very successfully as a LR staple for many years. But most importantly, we are thrilled to be able to bring the best fried chicken in the world and our unique southern charm to our current and future fans in the West Little Rock area.
"We'll keep you updated ... and thanks Little Rock for making Gus's feel so welcome."
Gus's reported $954,157 in food sales in during the months it was open in 2013 and $263,502 in sales in the first quarter of this year.
Buffalo Grill closed its west Little Rock location in August after almost 25 years, with owner Doug Green blaming the economy and the increase in new restaurants even farther west. The restaurant remains open at its long-time quarters in Riverdale.

New yoga classes
These recent additions will test your limits, tone your muscles and soothe your mind.
Wed Dec 29 2010

Cool yoga classes
Photograph: Allison Michael Orenstein
RECOMMENDED: Fitness guide to NYC
Aerial Yoga at Yoga Sutra NYC
After a thorough stretch on mats, instructor Megan Hornaday leads the small group—no more than a dozen people—in ab and arm exercises using the fabrics that hang from the ceiling. Unlike other aerial yoga classes, this one incorporates vertical silks—in place of a looped sling—so that students can learn to climb and wrap themselves in the stretchy material. You'll pick up gravity-defying, circus-style skills, all of which are tailored to your personal level of strength, experience and bravery. The weary can take a break by reclining in upside-down, passive versions of various yoga poses, allowing the fabric itself to do the heavy lifting. 6 E 39th St between Fifth and Madison Aves, second floor (212-490-1443, yogasutranyc.com). Tue 4--5pm, Sat 3--4:15pm; single class for members $20, single class for non-members $25.
Asana for Athletes at Virayoga
Whatever your athletic pursuits—and instructor Holly Lynn Horvath counts navigating NYC sidewalks—this class will complement them. Teaching you to use your muscles in a balanced way, Horvath combines anusara alignment principles with extensive knowledge of biomechanics and a sharp eye. It's almost as if she sees the action of every muscle and the location of every bone in her students' bodies—and she knows which moves will alleviate which problems. 580 Broadway between W Houston and Prince Sts, second floor (212-334-9960, virayoga.com) Thu 10--11:30am; single class $20, ten-class package $170.
Flow at Yoga Vida NYC
This busy yoga center's addition of this Saturday-morning class is timed perfectly for the prebrunch set. After moving through the usual asanas, the fast-paced vinyasa-style session takes you through a Pilates-esque ab sequence that will provide the excuse you need to scarf down that extra croissant come 2pm. Instructor Hilaria Thomas's no-nonsense approach also caters to the chanting-averse crowd, choosing to focus on inner strength over inner peace. Yoga Vida NYC, 99 University Pl at 12th St, sixth floor (212-995-5553, yogavidanyc.com). Sat 10--11:05am; single class $10, with student ID $5.
Gentle Yoga at Force and Flow
Inside her homey brownstone studio, Ophra Wolf weaves together elements of hatha, Iyengar, kundalini and ashtanga to help students gradually release tension from every part of their bodies. Keeping the poses simple and the pace slow, she tailors moves to the individual yogi's hobbies, preferences and goals; ski buffs, for example, focus on leg-strengthening maneuvers. Wolf also draws on her own bodywork practice to give particularly insightful adjustments that promote energy flow. Force and Flow, 1102 Dean St between Bedford and Franklin Aves, no. 4, Crown Heights, Brooklyn (646-644-9743, forceandflow.com). Mon 7:30--8:30pm; single class $16, five classes $75, ten-class package $135.
Hatha Vinyasa at Yoga Local Studio at Toren
This evening offering was developed for students looking to fit in some yoga after a long day at work. Danielle DiCamillo takes a hands-off approach, allowing experienced practitioners to learn from their own bodies. Newcomers might feel lost, but the unpretentious environment means no one will be looking at you sideways—at least not in the figurative sense—if you stumble. 150 Myrtle Ave at Flatbush Ave, Downtown Brooklyn (yogalocal.com). Wed 8--9:30pm; single class $10.

Bugzilla – Bug 5354
WS Addressing final version not supported in Apache WS Addressing library
Last modified: 2007-08-09 11:05:43
You need to
log in
before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
The Apache WS Addressing library needs to be updated to support the final
version fo WS Addressing. The project is going to be archived and we might need
to import the current code base to GT and make relevant changes. Changes will
be required to get stubs to compile and in the addresing handler code to
generate and process relevant SOAP headers.
Code from WS Apache addressing imported to playground/java/ws-addressing. Added
required fixes for using the final version. A sample counter client with worked
with correct addressing headers.
The code can be cleaned up some more. the Apache WS Addressing project will be
archived in the next few weeks - so code needs to be maintianed in GT code
Package names moved to globus namespace. Source code has been checked into
wsrf/java/lib-src/ws-addressing in the wsrf_final_branch. All tests have been
fixed to work with the WS Addressing final specification namespace.
The code can be cleaned up some more, for example there is no reason to support
multiple versions of the code. But that will be done as a separate campaign or
as part of the general clean up when the specification upgrade branch is merged
with trunk.

About the first two times I used it, it worked really really well. After those two times, if i used it again, then I would get this really deep burnng sensation and it would leave my skin very dry but it would still get rid of my acne. Even though it gets rid of my acne I am definetly not going to be using it again because the pain was so bad that I started crying... A lot... Also it left my skin very tight so I could barely smile without it hurting. I would not recommend this product to anyone because it is just so horrible.
I find that this face cleanser doesn't cleanse that well. After every time I wash my face I go over my face with an astringent just to make sure I got every trace of dirt and makeup off. Well, to my surprise much of my makeup is still on my face after I use this.... I don't know how that's possible. The only way I get most of my makeup off is if I use an exfoliator after I use this cleanser. It smells and feels ok, it just sucks horribly at cleaning. This is one of the worst face washes I've ever used, because it doesn't clean. I definitely feel like this is a waste of money.
The packaging is fine. The product smells very fresh and clean and feels good on your skin- you know, that tingly feeling you get when it really goes into your pored. For awhile it WAS very good for my skin- however after awhile it started making me break out all over again. I never knew why- I don't think I was washing my face very hard.
the thing is, when i beganuing this my acne didnt show substantial growth or betting better. it left my skin feelingrathere oily but the tingling sensation that followed, masked it. i got bored and left this product for awhile and when i returned, it was all wrong !! no tingling, left an oily film , and just left me feeling as if i never washed it !!!!!!1 i wouldnt recomend.
UPDATE----increased the redness in my face and felt too drying. Horrible!
Did not clean well. Left a film on the skin.
More reviews by Sunnydelite62901
this is a good basic cleanser. Gentle however you need a makeup remover and I mean not just for your eyes I mean your whole face, a basic oil cleanser followed with this and toner. Its very gentle like the Clean and Clear verison of Noxzema
More reviews by ilovedreamsandseashells
This is my HG face wash. Yes I get bored and try new stuff but I always come back to this and also the morning burst one. I've been using it since 5th grade. It makes my skin feel and look so clean and soft. I have absolutely nothing bad to say.
This cleanser is deceptively drying, even though its a cream formulation it dried my skin out so much, after only one use! My nose developed 2 deep blemishes and several smaller ones, and has been flaking for several days now. Please be careful using this on dry or even slightly sensitive skin.
This product is amazing, it helps my pores and also helps my super dry skin. If you are looking for a cheap drugstore cleanser which is not overly drying, this is the product for you. I use this at night and a natural face scrub (sugar, honey, olive oil and lemon juice) in the morning - this combination successfully combats my dry skin and leaves me spot free.

Samsung gives Sprint a Moment, first Android phone with AMOLED screen
Samsung has officially announced Nov. 1 availability of its first Android phone, the Samsung Moment, from Sprint for $180 (with the usual contract stipulations).
Moment's main claim to fame over its proliferating Android kin is its 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a first for Sprint. AMOLED creates crisper colors and allows wider viewing angles than other display screens, or so claims Samsung; there have been some questions about AMOLED's actual power savings benefits. More momentus is Moment's 800MHz processor, which ought to be faster than the Sprint HTC Hero and its 528MHz processor.
Like the Motorola CLIQ, the Moment has a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but with four rows of keys not three, meaning no need to press "ALT" to tap out numbers.
The Moment will be available with Sprint's new Any Mobile, Anytime feature, which gives you unlimited calling to any wireless customer in the U.S. on any carrier anytime when you subscribe to Sprint's $90 or $70/month all-everything plans.

Sunderland midfielder David Vaughan has praised Keiren Westwood's temperament since becoming first-choice goalkeeper at the Stadium of Light.
Westwood took over when Simon Mignolet suffered a facial injury in the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on October 29th.
The former Carlisle and Coventry keeper has started every match since, beginning with the daunting trip to Manchester United where he put in a creditable display as the Black Cats succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat.
Midfielder Vaughan, who scored Sunderland's equaliser as they came from behind to beat Blackburn at home on Sunday, said he was delighted by Westwood's form.
"Keiren has been brilliant - he's come in and really shown what he's all about," he said.
"He is a commanding goalkeeper and has taken his chance really well.
"There's been some real moments of magic, some great saves, and to come in at Old Trafford for a full debut can't have been easy.
"But Keiren has handled everything really well.
"Like me, he has had to wait for his chance but his patience has paid off."

Do Not Track techniques and technologies are finding wider acceptance and usage as consumers become more weary or wary of digital data collection, mobile tracking and addressable advertising strategies.
Consumers are making greater use of so-called DNT technologies to protect their personal data, and to prevent or reduce its exposure and collection by Internet marketers and mobile advertisers.
Individual websites, social media networks, mobile devices and even set-top TV boxes are all part of a digital ecosystem used to deliver highly targeted ads and marketing messages, but that approach is now being challenged at its very core.
Digital analysis firm Ovum recently painted what it described as a threatening scenario for the Internet economy, as consumers seek out new DNT tools that make themselves untraceable and impossible to target.
A majority of surveyed Internet and digital media users in eleven different countries want to be "invisible" , and they would use a "do-not-track" (DNT) feature if it was easily available, suggesting that a data black hole could soon open up under the Internet economy.
Together with calls for tighter regulation, consumers who make such choices can reduce the amount and relevance of personal data supply lines, and negatively impact targeted advertising, CRM, big data analytics, and other digital industries.
"Unfortunately, in the gold rush that is big data, taking the supply of 'little data' -- personal data -- for granted seems to be an accident waiting to happen," said Mark Little, principal analyst at Ovum, in describing the report's findings. "However, consumers are being empowered with new tools and services to monitor, control, and secure their personal data as never before, and it seems they increasingly have the motivation to use them."
Ovum's analysis echoes a recent report from Advertising Standards Canada, and underscores consumer and privacy advocate concerns expressed here.
It found that some three quarters of Canadians worry about the erosion of personal privacy; it's the second most worrying issue for Canadians among several global concerns: 72 per cent said they are worried about the erosion of personal privacy, roughly on par with the number concerned about the global financial crisis (73 per cent) and climate change (71 per cent).
"The use of online behavioural advertising has exploded and we're concerned that Canadians' privacy rights aren't always being respected," said Canada's federal Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart in notes prepared for a speech to a Marketing and the Law conference in Toronto.
The Commissioner has unveiled new guidelines on online behavioural advertising which also set out restrictions on the tracking of children and tracking technologies that people can't turn off. She has also warned about "data leakage" from some popular sites; she has said that some improvements have been made, but the sites had not been named or otherwise identified.
In the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission has endorsed DNT as a simple way for users to inform integrated web services which offer content across the Internet (such as buttons, widgets, and other embedded features) that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected across websites when they have not interacted with that service's content on the page.
There are calls for a "DNT mechanism that would prevent an entity from developing profiles about mobile users" that are "easy to find and use", "effective and enforceable," and would apply to more than "just advertisements."
"Internet companies need a new set of messages to change consumers' attitudes," Ovum's Little added. "These messages must be based on positive direct relationships, engagement with consumers, and the provision of genuine and trustworthy privacy controls. Most importantly, data controllers need a better feel for the approaching disruption to their supply lines, and must invest in tools that help them understand the profile of today's negatively-minded users -- tomorrow's invisible consumers."
