Authorities in Ocean City found that the rabbit hole went deeper than expected after busting a cigarette smuggling ring this week.
Basel Ramadan and Samir Ramadan were the alleged ringleaders of a cartel that sold more than a million cartons of untaxed cigarettes. It seems the smuggling ring covered much of the East Coast – from Virginia to New York.
"We know they made tens of millions of dollars, but so far, we've only found a fraction of that," said New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman while announcing that charges had been filed against 16 Palestinian immigrants.
The Ramadans were taken into custody in Ocean City on Wednesday.
Upon further investigation, officials learned that the Ramadans were connected to known terrorists, including Omar Abdel-Rahman, a blind cleric who was sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in a conspiracy to blow up several landmarks in New York City.
"This is not the end of our investigation," Schneiderman added. "We are following the money. We will work to track it down, wherever it went."
It remains to be seen how much money is actually tied up in the scheme, but financial records would seem to indicate that the culprits deposited at least $55 million in various banking institutions in and around the Ocean City area.
The Ramadans are now being held without while they await extradition to New York state.
Related arrests also were made in New York City, Delaware and New Jersey.

We all have to be, this is our choosing in life. We can BE good, we can BE bad, we can BE many things. In my line of work I am always in BE mode, my life has to have purpose, meaning and a drive for excellence in my day. What will you BE today? let me know ;-)
Talent is God give. Be Humble.
Fame is man-given. Be grateful.
Conceit is self-given. Be Careful.
I have been reading about the new surge in Brown Fat research and how this is being translated into new programs, pills and typical sales marketing hype for those who think there is a fast way to drop weight and keep it off. Don't believe the hype, these studies have been mostly used on mice and have been around for at least 5 years.
I will not go into great detail on this but encourage you to take the time to read more, avoid getting excited and DO NOT stand in line to be the first on your block to try out this method :-)
What is it with Climbing, Reaching and Achieving? Well, as we journey through or daily walks, we should always strive to accomplish something. This is simple stuff, set the goal and go about achieving it. Whether it is long term, short term, regardless of the goal or length, go and do it.
Climb - To ascend or rise.
Reach - To come to or arrive at in some course of progress, action, etc.
Achieve - To bring about an intended result; accomplish some purpose or effect.
Nobody needs to say "That's it!" when they fail, as though it is the end--or as though it's the ultimate achievement. It's just a truth on the road of life. Just make sure you don't apply it to the whole of life:
Failure is a definition, not an accomplishment
What a week it has been, my body has responded to the physical toll of training, working out, traveling between clients, kids and sickness. After saying all that I am still very thankful for my week and am looking forward to rest.
REST does the body good!!!
What a day it is turning out to be. It is the middle of the week, for the first time in a while I can say it is hump week. In my profession my clients are liken to my 2 young daughters. Both are glad and excited to see you, whether it is playing or training. So, I may not have the energy, strength or stamina to make it, but then I realize it is not about me, because I am a servent. So, today I will hold fast, muster the energy, strength, patience and be alive for this day.
How often have we said to ourselves I should do this but "not today", is it a grand assumption that tomorrow is our decision. Well for me, I am learning to work to do all I can TODAY! Be motivated to accomplish your goals, get one step closer to the place you have envisioned yourself to be. Not Today? well, how about not waiting until tomorrow.

2013 Africa Cup qualifiers: Cape Verde safely through

Cape Verde Islands completed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Madagascar on Saturday to advance to the final round of qualifying for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The result gave the Cape Verdiens a 7-1 aggregate victory, after they had demolished their hosts 4-0 in the away leg in February.
Their healthy lead in the tie meant the pressure was off going into this fixture, but they still managed to exert their dominance and took a 3-0 lead, before the Malagasy pulled one back late on.
Cape Verde have never before qualified for the Nations Cup finals, but did come close to sealing their place at the 2012 event, before falling away late in qualifying.

Disappointed Employee
Posted by
NORTHEAST, USA -- I was recently hired at Dish Network. The pay is great, the co-workers are easy to get along with but the company does not stop changing operations. Everyone gets mixed up, the wrong things get put on vans, the wrong things get accounted for, etc. Obviously, I am not here to review working for the company. Overall they are solid and they are a Fortune 500 which means job stability likely is good. I am extremely happy at my job and do not have a problem with anyone I work with.
That aside, hopefully everyone understands I have no bias whatsoever. Before moving back to my hometown I had DirecTV. DirecTV had everything: great programming, affordable packages, reasonable rates for additional receivers and DVRs and AWESOME customer service. I was accidentally charged an installation fee and immediately after checking my account I noticed this and called their customer service. They apologized profusely, extended my HBO/Shotime 3-month free trial by a month and gave me a free month of programming ON TOP OF deleting this bogus charge.
As a Dish Employee I receive a special discount for using the service. You're eligible after one month of your hire date. I received my certificate number to use when signing up. This special number identifies me as an employee and automatically (or should automatically) set my account up as an employee account. The guy on the phone informed me that my number didn't work so I double checked my e-mail. It was the exact number. He tried again only to have computer issues and transferred me to someone else, who transferred me back to the original representative Finally he said it went through and I was ready for my install. The phone call took 63 minutes and I would estimate roughly 45 minutes of that were spent on hold. Very annoying. Not only did I lose my morning appointment but I did not get other things done that I should have been able to get done.
That headache was over and two days later the installer came to my house. I was quoted 2-4 hours for install and he was done in 3, not bad I guess, for one television. DirecTV took less time on an older and bigger house to install a dish and receivers in three rooms.
Now for signal strength. Not even 24 hours of install my signal went out. Clear day, sunny, not too many clouds, no precipitation, nothing covering the dish or in the way and BAM, out goes the signal for a good two minutes. I let this slide. As I'm writing this review my signal has now been out for about an hour. Customer service has no idea why. Me neither. They inform me my receiver is raising no red flags and I am informing them that it's a clear night. This is frustrating. Thankfully, since I have a discount, I was able to keep my digital cable account for a larger variety of channels and just use Dish to save on premiums (HBO etc). In three years of subscribing to DirecTV I had only two problems. One I mentioned that was resolved quickly and another with an issue of a receiver not getting local channels. This was also promptly fixed and we were given their "everything" package for free for a month including all premium channels. Not once did their service cut out, NOT ONCE.
Next let's mention picture quality. I have an HDTV. I also still subscribe to my digital cable service. Both my satellite and digital cable receivers are hooked up with HDMI cables so there should be no picture difference. Switching from digital cable to Dish inputs on my TV I notice a huge difference in picture quality on my locals and channels such as ESPN, Discovery etc. Dish's picture is darker and definitely not as crisp. Also, on a lot of my local channels the Dish receiver boxes them in. In other words I get annoying black bars boxing in my picture. I am no advocate of digital cable but I definitely expected better quality out of Dish, after all they do advertise that.
Lastly, my biggest complaint, is their billing. Because the guy who set up my account obviously failed at setting it up for an employee my first and second months bill (due within a few weeks of ordering) is significantly more than what it should be. No discounts applied. I called customer service with my employee number and the certificate number (used to set up the account) and again I was on hold for about 20 minutes of the 30 minute call. Yes, very aggravating, especially when it eats away at your mobile phone minutes. The representative told me there was nothing he could do so I asked for his supervisor who also said there must be a mistake (yeah, no s**t). She informed me the only way I could fix the problem was to talk to my supervisor or my local HR representative and have them resolve the issue because I guess Dish doesn't pay their customer service department to resolve issues. This is becoming a hassle. I e-mailed my HR representative and still haven't received any reply. So now in a couple of weeks I am going to be responsible for paying a bill that is higher than it should be. Additionally, and a bit unrelated to what I was talking about, they call me with an 866 number 1-3 times a day usually around dinner time for a survey or with a representative to ask about how I like my service. Get the hint guys, if people are immediately hanging up, they don't want to deal with you. That is VERY annoying. Even though I receive a discount I'm strongly considering just having the service discontinued, paying whatever they want me to pay and have my equipment hauled off. It's not worth the headache.
To conclude: As I mentioned, I am happy at my particular office. No beef with anyone. But I am very, very, very annoyed that this is how their customer service offers absolutely little to no help for a fellow employee. It really makes me wonder how they treat regular customers who do not receive any sort of discount. All in all, I have to be completely honest as I am in every review I write. Compare the packages, compare the programming and do your research. From surfing around on this site and many others it's obvious that DirecTV has way more fans. I definitely would recommend DirecTV over any other provider and if satellite is your only option immediately rule out Dish Network. Another thing to take into consideration is, they're both going to be very competitive in pricing, they have to be. DTV might cost a little bit more but you get what you pay for with Dish. Also, in researching you'll realize DirecTV has more satellites in orbit than Dish Network so signal strength will be much, much more reliable.
I know I'm supposed to include my location, but since I'm an employee I do not want to give anything away that could potentially harm my job. Let's just say I reside in the Northeastern part of the US.

I'm Suing Dish Here's My Intention To Sue Letter
Posted by
LANCASTER, CALIFORNIA -- I'm Suing Dish!!! Here's my intention to sue Dish letter: On 12/10/08 my Dish bill was paid in full with a balance of $0.00. On 12/10/08 Rose/Billing Supervisor at Dish agreed to meet a competing offer to me from Direct TV for 250 channels plus locals plus HBO and Showtime at $60 per month and agreed to cut my December bill paying in advance for December, to $60. In bad faith breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, interference with competing offer, fraudulent billing practices, fraudulent credit card practices, harassment and fraud, Dish did not cut my December 2008 bill to $60, did not bill me at the agreed rate of $60/month at any time since our contract of 12/10/08, and has repeatedly phoned me and emailed me and mailed me fraudulent bills with fraudulent demands for exorbitant sums I do not owe. I have fulfilled all my obligations by paying $61 - $65 /month to Dish since December, 2008 on time, in advance, in full. I have OVERPAID Dish each month by paying $61-$65, as the taxes are $0.41. Between December, 2008 and March, 2009, I phoned Dish 3 times and requested Dish correct its bills, mitigate its bad faith actions and perform its obligations, but Dish refused while admitting DIsh records reflect Dish's agreement on 12/10/09 to charge me $60/month, and also admitting that I have paid $61-$65 /month timely as and for payment in full.
A full six months ago, in March 2009, I noticed Dish in writing of the foregoing facts and demanded: "This shall serve as formal and final demand that Dish correct its bills to show that I have paid in full each and every month timely, mail me written proof of said bill correction, bill me henceforth at the agreed sum of $60/month, and cease all harassing phone calls, emails and fraudulent mailed billing statements. Your failure to perform your obligations shall force me to sue Dish. This shall serve as formal notice that I prohibit any phone call from Dish henceforth and that I shall tape record all phone calls from Dish without further notice for evidentiary purposes of fraud and harassment.
Any phone call from Dish henceforth grants consent to tape recording." Dish in bad faith, despite being noticed in writing and despite my 3 good faith phone calls to Dish, refused to correct the bills to reflect its contract with me, and relentlessly and oppressively without interruption continued to send me bills and emails fraudulently claiming that I had "past due" sums, and fraudulently claiming that "We have not received payment for your last statement. You must pay the total amount due immediately to avoid additional late fees and service interruptions." Most recently, on 9/10/09, I received a bill dated 9/23/09 from Dish claiming a false "previous balance" of $114.49, a payment of $60, and false "current charges" of $81.96. The correct "previous balance" was $60, not $114.49, the account has been paid in full each month, so the correct balance should state $0.00, and the correct "current charges" should be $60, not $81.96. This date a notice appeared on my TV screen stating that my Dish service will be cancelled unless I make an immediate payment, when as Dish at all times knew, I paid my September, 2009 Dish bill in full, in advance for the entire month on 9/4/09, and that no payment is due or owing. This date Dish's bad faith conduct and false threats again forced me to take my valuable time to phone Dish and request again that Dish correct its bills and cease fraudulently demanding sums I do not owe, and cease false threats to disconnect my service unless I "immediately pay" sums I do not owe, when I have already paid in advance for 9/09. At 11:45pm this date Saturday 9/12/09, I had a completely nonsensical and obstructive conversation with your purported "billing adjustment" person Steve KKR. He admitted Dish records reflect the $60/month agreement and my written March, 2009 Intention to Sue and Demand for Performance and admitted that I paid my September 2009 bill in full on 9/4/09, then tried to tell me that the current charges of $81.96 were $60 plus $22. of "taxes" when the bill states taxes are $0.41, and also incomprehensibly told me that the fraudulent "previous balance" of $114.49" when I had a correct previous balance of $60 = overcharge of $54.49 -- were for a year of taxes at $0.41 per month!!! He also tried to tell me that the $60 per month did not include various undescribed fees and services. I told him again and again that Dish accepted my offer to pay $60 per month, period. He admitted the contract, but he refused to correct the bill, refused to mitigate Dish's yearlong bad faith conduct, refused to perform in good faith. All 4 of my phone calls to Dish both this date and from 12/08 to 3/09 were the same, admissions of the contract, then deliberate attempts to assert false vague fees and charges. Unarguably, Dish is willfully training its so-called "customer service" personnel to harm and defraud its customers, as proven in innumerable lawsuits and fines imposed by many states\' attorney generals and consumer fraud agencies. The message threatening to disconnect my service continues to display on my TV screen after my good faith effort and phone call to Dish this date to obtain DIsh's performance of our contract. As you know, disconnecting service to a customer who has already paid in full in advance for the month via credit card constitutes egregious credit card fraud, fraudulent banking practices and theft. As you know, absent my good faith reliance that Dish would perform its obligations to keep a good longtime customer, and retain a good customer in an economy wherein many people have disconnected DIsh service, I would have and should have accepted Direct TV's competing offer, and not been overbilled or oppressively and relentlessly harassed and threatened by Dish for the past year. Shame on you for treating a good, pay-on-time every month, longtime customer like this. It\'s just bad business, especially in a bad economy. Apparently, your business ethic is "Abuse the Customer." This notice shall serve as formal and final notice of renewed March, 2008 intention to sue with the addition of formal notice of intention to sue on causes of action of fraudulent inducement, fraudulent credit card practices, theft and fraudulent denial of service. I shall additionally submit at court a full record of the previous overbilling from day one of my good faith contract with Dish. Please be assured that I retain a complete record of all bills, all phone calls and all written communications. Please additionally be advised that should you in bad faith assign any false claim of "unpaid" sums to any assignee or collection agency, I shall swiftly sue Dish for additional causes of action. Yours very truly, cc: DISH NETWORK CALIF. SERVICE CORP CSC LAWYERS INCORP.

trying to talk like a lawyer might impress some people but its hard to read and laughable. Since you keep such detailed records you just need to show what the original offer was. I'm sure with all your legal experience you have the quote from Rose in writing right:????? Perhaps the difference was simply tax?

Legal advise 101: Do not publicly post "intent to sue" notices.
Anonymous on 09/13/2009:
Better talk to your local congressman about those taxes. The taxes on my phone bill are more than my service and there is nothing I can do about it. You pay state and local, fcc etc. Those are on all communications and satellite services.
Did you buy any premium shows or pay per views? Those are not included in any agreement.
Starlord on 09/14/2009:
I believe that in California, according to the security academy I attended there, it is illegal to record any converstaion. You 'intent to sue' letter does not suspend or cancel California law. Good luck. Oh, and FYI, Dish Network people lie like wet rugs.
JR in Orlando on 09/14/2009:
This will give them a good laugh if you send it. Use of legal terms without fundamental knowledge thereof, results in stupidity. This billing is not fraudulent, absent an intent to deceive you. Quit simply, you ask them to charge you $60.00 per month. Almost every sale involves the payment of government taxes, customarily paid by the buyer - you. The bill for $81.95 monthly, certainly seems possible in light of government taxes on such services. Your letter fails to set forth what the additional $21.95 is for, as reflected on their statement.
There is a dispute over who pays the taxes. When you received the first bill, you could have objected and changed to Direct TV. Instead you continued to receive services knowing there is a dispute. Having done so, you have no basis to claim that the other parties attempt to collect and enforce their interpretation of the contract is either harassment or fraud. That you have a belief about the contract says, does not make it so.
Also have you ever heard of the concept of paragraphs? It makes threatening letters easier to read.

STOPDISHFRAUD on 09/15/2009:
Companies must cease contacting you via phone upon written notice and DIsh did comply at once. The written notice from me to Dish re: I would tape record all phone calls from Dish without further notice subsequent to my written notice to DIsh to cease phoning me is also valid.

"He also tried to tell me that the $60 per month did not include various undescribed fees and services. I told him again and again that Dish accepted my offer to pay $60 per month, period."
Sounds like he made a deal that covers everything - taxes, fees, etc. - for $60. Hope you can prove it! And I hope you don't have anything in writing that would indicate otherwise.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!
Slimjim on 09/15/2009:
From what I'm getting, you were being overcharged anywhere from 1-4 dollars a month, which you didn't include in your payments because it wasn't your agreed amount. I don't see why if they recognize your amount, it still is being billed inaccurately. What I wouldn't be doing is getting all lawyer lingo with them. Most of your complaint is riddled with inaccuracies, so it's obvious to me (and them)you are bluffing, and you don't know the law like you make it sound. Include in that the fact they can call you if you owe them money, regardless if you tell they can or not. They are not a 3rd party collector.
I would continue to try to resolve this with them, but without the threats. Seriously, this is not a letter that would make me want to do a thing for you except say "see you in court", which we know isn't going to happen.
STOPDISHFRAUD on 09/18/2009:
by the way, after reading the Dish fraud settlement with 46 states, one huge horrid practice DIsh was ordered to stop was billing people's credit cards and bank accounts for up to $800 upon cancellation. So I cancelled both cards I have used with them and ordered new ones with new numbers.
webunny on 06/29/2010:
I applaud you! And hope that you get satisfaction from your dealings with Dish Network! I am about to follow your lead...and will next file a lawsuit myself!
I have never dealt with a more disreputable company. They must TRAIN their employees to harass the customers!

Beware of Dish Network bad business practice and poor customer service
Posted by
Beware of Dish Network's bad business practice and terrible customer service. !!!
I have been a dish customer for past 6 years until yesterday. I upgraded my receiver to a dual tuner DVR. after the upgrade I noticed one of the international movie channel in my package, I was watching was missing. I called up Dish Network and asked them. They said they recently made changes to their international packages and made one of the channel I was watching a separate payable item. Now that channel by itself costs $20. I tried to reason with them that any new changes should only affect new customer or if customer makes changes to the programming packages. I just upgraded my receiver. And they can't take a channel that was in my package and been watching for several years and ask me to pay for it now just because I upgraded my receiver.
When I ordered for DVR upgrade Dish Network did not tell me that this will result in losing a movie channel, such a bad business tactics. Didn't inform customer this would happen and removed a channel. I talked to the supervisors and executive office in Dish Network, they were neither willing to add the that movie channel back into package nor willing rollback entire DVR upgrade and give back my old programming plan. They said, all they could do is give me that movie channel free for 6 months after that I have to pay $20 every month for that single channel. That is ridiculous!, why would anyone want to pay $20 for channel that was in one's package for several years. So I canceled my entire Dish Network service. They were not making any efforts to keep loyal customer and were not willing to compensate for the mistake they did.

Hello, this is Mike LeMar with DISH Network customer service. I understand that you had an issue with a pricing change on one of our international channels and have canceled your service because of it. If you have any interest in having your service reinstated and giving us another try, let me know so that I can further assist you with this!

After dealing with losing satellite signal up to 3-4 times a week, with beautiful weather outside, over the course of a 2 year period, I guess they finally got tired of hearing my complaints and got me a new receiver. When the Tech came to install it he said the receiver that I had was not a good one, and usually goes bad, and gave a lot of customers problems. So it took them 2 years of me calling before they finally replaced it! That is only the beginning!
When they replaced the receiver, they gave me 2 new remotes to go with it. The tech set everything up and I was good to go. After 1 week the remote went bad! I was on the phone for a total of 5 hours the day before Thanksgiving 2010 with 5-6 different Customer Service (Ha Ha) reps. Kept getting disconnected for some odd reason, which is why I spoke to so many of them. Each one had me go through the same stupid steps as the one before, in an effort to try to "fix" the problem. the last Rep told me my remote was bad, and they would send me another. Once I received it and programmed it according to the directions in the user manual, TV2 got screwed up!
I told them if they were really sorry for my inconvenience, someone should pro-rate my bill for all the frustration I have gone through with the company and their lousy service over the last 2 years. They said they would give me HD for life for free. I accepted. Guess what. ITS NOT FREE!! If you want all channels to be HD, either you sign up for auto pay, or pay a one time fee of 99.00. PLUS you'll be paying an extra 10.00 every month for 2 years! The representative NEVER said any thing about that!!!! This Company sucks! Your better off reading a book! They are very deceitful! I would go with another company, but no one else offers service in my area. I HATE DISH NETWORK. Isn't there someone who will protect the consumer??

Dish has a pretty well established reputation for bad service. Nice picture. Be sure your next TV service has Animal Planet as part of the free programming.

U WILL SEE SOON WHY I SAY THIS..If you want sat TV go get it from a local retailer who does the install and does care about there customers...And dish can not get good techs cause us who have been around from the start know better..Ur first question to the tech as a consumer should be so how long you been doing this..I have seen customers that looked scared to death until I told them I have done sats for almost 14 yrs..I'm not mad at dish.. I think it's sad for the consumer cause they have no idea what they are getting into read the fine print folks..Just thought it would be nice for people to know this b4 they get hung in a 24 month agreement..with a company like this..People need to know why their service sucks and how it really works.. THE TRUTH..we the people just need to raise cane to the fcc and put a stop to this madness...

Dish Lies About Programming to Get Subscribers
Posted on
ANYTOWN, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Here is a transcript of a chat session with a Dish representative Dish has stopped carrying CSNNE, which is the regional sports network that carries the Boston Celtics. I am assured several times I can watch the Celtics if I sign up for Dish.. (My name is not Ted Brogan, points for whoever gets it)
Status: Connected
Rowena (ID: 4GC) (Listening)
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Hi, my name is Rowena (ID: 4GC). How may I help you?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Hello there! I hope you're doing great today!
Ted Brogan: Hi! I just bought a house and am looking for a TV provider
Rowena (ID: 4GC): That's great! I will be more than willing to help you with that.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let me assist you on finding the best offer that will suit your needs and your budget!
Rowena (ID: 4GC): We do have some great promotions that I'd be happy to go over with you.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): If I may ask, is this your first time to get Dish if ever?
Ted Brogan: Yes. I live in New Hampshire, and I want to watch all the Boston sports teams
Rowena (ID: 4GC): That's great! We have amazing offers for our new customer promotions, including free installation, equipment, and activation (over $700 waived fees) once approved with our best leasing plan!
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let's start in getting the actual monthly rate to see how much you can save with us.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): I need your complete address so I can check the taxes included and the local channels available in your area.
Ted Brogan: ******************************NH
Rowena (ID: 4GC): I also need the Zip code.\
Ted Brogan: 030**
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Thank you. Please give me a few minutes to check this address.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): We can get you approved for a plan now so I can give you the right details including price, DVR options, freebies and discounts.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Just to manage your expectation, all of our promotional offers are based on credit qualification. We do run a credit check to get you qualified, and you have to be 18 or older to have DISH service. I believe you are at least 18 years old, right? : -)
Ted Brogan: I am. I would like to know if Dish carries the sports teams from Boston?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): That's fine. Let me give you the price for the TV setup you want & will take things from there, sounds good?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let us now proceed in building your programming package and TV setup.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let me ask you a few questions so I can give you the monthly cost for the set up that you want.
Ted Brogan: I asked a question
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Yes, I am now looking at that.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Your regional sports networks are New England Sports & CSN New England.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): You will get Red Sox, Celtics & Bruins.
Ted Brogan: Does Dish carry those networks?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let me check it again.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): What's the Team name & what they are playing?
Ted Brogan: Boston Red Sox, Baseball; Boston Bruins, Hockey; Boston Celtics, Basketball; New England Patriots, Football;
Ted Brogan: ?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): I am still looking at it.
Ted Brogan: Ok, I'm about done
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Upon checking not all Teams are covered.
Ted Brogan: Would you care to elaborate?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): It would only be Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots & Boston Celtics.
Ted Brogan: Ok, that sounds good
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let us now proceed in building your programming package and TV setup.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let's look at the price for the package that will give you what you want first.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Then we'll discuss your options later based on how much you're willing to pay per month.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Let's talk about your programming. To check the best package for you, may I ask what are your must-have channels?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): It has been a while that I have not received a response from you, are you still with me?
Ted Brogan: Wait, Red Sox and Bruins are on NESN, Celtics are on CSNNE, Patriots are on national broadcasts.
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Aside from this channels, can you name 2-3 channels that you watch most of the time?
Ted Brogan: Umm, what about you saying I could see the Red Sox on NESN but not the Bruins? How does that work?
Rowena (ID: 4GC): Some of their games maybe shown on NESN which is one of your Regional Network
Ted Brogan: That does not answer my question in any way
There was no more communication from Dish after that.

Billing FRAUD
Posted by
ORTING, WASHINGTON -- On 09/03/14 I called to order Dish cable and internet services. After receiving a flier in the mail saying that we could get internet service for $19 and some change per month, and the cable package that we wanted for $29 and some change per month. I was on the phone for approximately an hour and 45 minutes to get this process going. While on that call, I was told that the $19 internet service was not offered in my area, and it would be around $34 per month. I was also told that the cable package that we wanted would be $36 per month (later finding out from another person there that the additional $7 was for a DVR that I never once asked for!)
I was told by the guy that I talked to that he was charging us $174 and some change for setup costs and our first month of service. I agreed to this, and when I thought that I was finally done with the phone call he told me that he then had to transfer me to someone else to hook up the internet service. Once I was transferred I found out that the $174 and change that had been charged to my account did not include the setup and that the billing would also be separate for the internet service. At this point after well over 2 hours on the phone I told them that I just wanted to cancel everything and have our card refunded. The guy I was talking to told me he could not do that and that I would have to hold, and then hung up on me. After calling back and talking to 2 more people I finally was told that she would refund the charges and cancel our setup. However, she told me we would only be refunded $124 and some change and that that was all we had been charged. I said are you sure, because I was told it was $174 and she said yes, it was only $124 and change. Today, I went to the bank. On the bank statement, it shows charges as follows:
9/5/14 Dish Network-on 800 894 9131 Co (pending) $124.36
9/5/14 Dish Network-on 800 894 9131 Co (pending) $1.00
9/5/14 Dish Network-cr Englewood Co (pending) $1.00
9/4/14 Check Crd Purchase 09/04 Infinity Dish 3 866-659-3474 Fl 384246617754089 ?mcc=4899 (processed) $49.95
After seeing this I called to speak with a supervisor. The first call that I made was transferred to a supervisor. He told me that he did not see a charge for $49.95 but only a charge of $124.36, and that was what was going to be refunded. I explained to him everything on the statement above and he told me he would have to put me on hold, and he hung up on me. I called again. The guy that answered the phone, not a supervisor, told me that in order for this to be researched that I have to fax my bank statement in to be reviewed. He said he also did not see this charge. I have had ENOUGH of sitting on the phone for hours on end and being hung up on. It is not my responsibility to go find a fax machine to send a company a bank statement that I absolutely do not trust them with after the fact that there is a charge that absolutely no one I have talked to with DISH can see. This is absolutely ridiculous!

Dish Network Is Evil
Posted on
EUGENE, OREGON -- Since signing up with Dish Network we have had a slew of issues. They have improperly billed us left and right and it takes hours on the phone to have them correct it.
The service itself performs poorly and often is very spotty. The internet will stop working for days at a time.
When we moved we were assured we would have our services transferred promptly and according to our wishes. The satellite installation tech arrived promptly but blatantly ignored my requests that he do NOT install the satellite directly onto our house and in doing so, caused damage to the new expensive vinyl side paneling. We have only just purchased this home and now it already has damages as a result of their negligence. Worse still, it voided the warranty on our entire house for the vinyl siding. I requested the service tech install on the wood portions of the house in the back and out of sheer laziness, it was slapped on the front instead. We have since issued several complaints on the issue and requested Dish be liable for the repairs. Our complaints have gone completely ignored.
It had been 38 days since we moved and Dish network had failed to install our internet services, but has still been charging us for them. They insisted it can take up to ten business days to install (which has been far exceeded) and that they still charge for services during that time. I called and was on the phone for almost three hours trying to settle the matter. I was transferred repeatedly and forced to explain my issue seven times. Near the end of the call Dish finally assured me that we would be receiving internet service the very next day. Not only did this not happen, but they failed to even do us the courtesy of a phone call to let us know they would not be coming, wasting one of my days off.
I promptly contacted them after that and was again assured they would be out very shortly. Another week passed with no word. I called with my final phone call insisting that they either have a service tech out to install our internet by the following day or we would be contacting the BBB and demanding a termination of our contract. They blew us off again.
Dish network had not been providing the services for which they were charging us and refused to allow us to break our contract agreement and seek services elsewhere. After a huge number of complaints we had been completely ignored, treated with disregard and made victim by Dish Network.
I contacted the BBB and after that DISH contacted me to cancel my contract. I was assured that the early termination fee would be waived. I later received an email that our return of equipment kit is on it's way in the mail. Meanwhile, checking my online banking, found that a month later they have charged us our monthly bill again. When I called to get it reversed first they said they have no record of the payment, and then said it's an early termination fee. BULL. This is the very worst company I have ever dealt with!

Dish Horrible to Long Time Customer!
Posted by
PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA -- We had been Dishnet customers for 10 years!! We paid $160 a month!! We only got basic HDTV, Starz and Encore, and Showtime. NO HBO, Cinemax or Movie Channel. HD Sucked, and Free On Demand is the WORST!! DirecTV on Demand is much better and UVerse and Cable On Demand Blow it out of the water.. We own a vacation home on a lake less than 1/2 hour from our home and an RV.. We were told it was OK and for years would take our DVR's on vacation with us.. We weren't particularly happy with Dishnet, but we weren't unhappy, we did think they were getting VERY expensive and we need internet and they have no internet and the internet they do offer through a third party SUCKS and is WAY expensive even with their BIG whoop bundle discount of $10 bucks!! Which btw they didn't give my friend, who is the reason I know it sucks! DirecTV offers a great package with 15mpbs Internet Hughesnet Gene4, cheaper and better than Dish, but UVerse and Cable offer even better bundles for cheaper prices..
I only know all this because after 10 years of loyal service DishNet CUT of two of my receivers because I used them once in a blue moon at my lake house and RV.. They insisted on coming out and doing some update I think now it was only because two of the receivers were not plugged into phone lines, which they almost always are, we had left them at the lake, we only used then in the gazebo and garage, so they were extra's we would take on our trips. We told the tech they were at our vacation home and explained everything, he said that was no problem, and to just call them in when I got them and I brought them down a couple of weeks later, they didn't work.. I called Dish to get them turned back on, they were back at the house and I was told they couldn't turn them back on they would have to set up an account.. I told them I didn't want to do that, they told me it would be alright for us to take them on vacation and since we only do it maybe 20 days out of the year we didn't want service up there and that we used them down here at the house, but I didn't want to pay additional service at the same home..
They refused to work with me and refused to turn them back on, so I said "thanks for treating your long time loyal customers so badly and say good bye to my $160 a month.. I got a great package from Charter Cable: Internet, HD TV with HD recording for 4 TV's, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and the Movie Channel and phone, for an overall savings of $40 bucks a month!! So I'm very pleased!! They don't have UVerse in my area or I may have gone with them, but I'm very pleased with Charter!!

Hopper Issues; Freezing and 250 + Recordings and Conflicts
Posted by
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- I was a customer for 10+ years and was totally happy until I got the hopper in July of 2013. We had issues of freezing and then it got worst and worst. January 2014 we started to have freezing issues and had (3) hoppers and replaced joey's, most of the time we could not watch any of our (4) TVs because they would all freeze. Finally in February 2014 it appeared that the senior tech got everything resolved and we could watch TV with little issues. However, on March 7th the nightmare became, we had numerous recordings with conflicts and we called DISH. The techs said nothing was wrong and they could help us delete the recordings…One day we had 250+ recordings and conflicts, every recording was doubled and all the representatives said they were not aware of the problem. On March 9th a tech came out and stated that we were programmed the same as another home and he resolved the issues. Meanwhile I called numerous phone numbers in Colorado to the corporate office to try to speak to the President; finally I spoke with this person in the resolution department. He asked me to call him back once the problem was fixed. On Tuesday, March 11th we started with the same issues…numerous recording, conflicts and freezing of different channels on the 4 TVs. I called him back on the 11th and he stated he would speak with the tech department. I spoke with him on the 12th and the 13th, he again stated that he hadn't heard back from the tech department but would call them again. On the morning of the 13th, my husband spoke with a tech, who said maybe we need another hopper to fix the issues. On the 13th after we were not able to watch TV without deleting and resolving the recordings, conflicts and the freezing…I told my husband I could not take it any longer, I called and spoke with Alex. 1. He told the TRUTH, that my issues were known by the company and that they were working on the issue. 2. The person from the resolution dept did not document that I called him on 12th or the 13th and he stated in the notes that he told me of the ongoing issues with the system. THIS WAS NOT TRUE. After numerous phone calls to Dish, the only one person that told me the TRUTH was Alex and he told me he would let me out of my contract if I wanted. The TRUTH should have been told to us in January, not (3) months later.
I am very disappointed with your company for not telling us the TRUTH…The stress that this has put on our family for the last (3) months is horrible. I cannot even express how frustrating this has been for our family. I should have been told the TRUTH back in 2013; I have been paying every month except for a 2 month credit from that was given from the freezing issue.

I recently posted how bad their service is and want to note that although I called them numerous times those notes were not logged in the system about my issue. They either hire very incompetent employees or this is part of their practices and procedures. How can you offer great service if you are not "quality assuring" or "monitoring" your calls. Why do the prompts say "Your call may be recorded for quality assurance?"
Tech I on 06/07/2014:
This is the MOCA signal leaking out of the system, I assume you live in a Multi Dwelling Unit.

- Of course a first SSN locally built would be just a trial; it would take some years of learning, testing and developing know-how before counting on it.
- Argentina does have submarine-construction experience; out of the six TR-1700 bought 4 were suppossed to be built here, since there was infrastructure. Sadly, years of insignificant budget and lack of interest have had its effect on it.
- Agree on that.
Now let´s check an article:
http://en.mercopress.com/2012/03/02/...s-kind-gestureFalkland Islands: Why we can't accept Cristina's 'kind' gesture
Making herself look kind and understanding of our needs can be the only reason for this about-face by the Argentine President, but before we can bring ourselves to believe in the sincerity of her stated desire to give peace a chance she will have to cancel her governments restrictions against shipping, which are contrary to the international laws of the sea, and lift the ban on charter flights which did so much damage to our tourism industry and so much good to Ushuaia. (She will also, of course, have to remove the clause from the Argentine Constitution which allows no other outcome for sovereignty talks, but that the Falkland Islands become Las Islas Malvinas and an Argentine possession.)
In fact, if the Argentine President is really concerned to increase our connectivity to the outside world, why does she not declare an open skies policy and let Aerolineas Argentinas compete openly and honestly with other airlines to provide our commercial air link to the outside world? I am fairly sure, however, that Argentinas struggling flag carrier would not be the airline of choice for people here and Buenos Aires would not be the favourite destination.

The committee will evaluate methods for assessing services and the associated economic values of aquatic and related terrestrial ecosystems. The committee's work will focus on identifying and assessing existing economic methods to quantitatively determine the intrinsic value of these ecosystems in support of improved environmental decision-making, including situations where ecosystem services can be only partially valued. The committee will also address several key questions, including:
both are given by an economic valuation function. Probably the greatest challenge for successful valuation of ecosystem services is to integrate studies of the ecological production function with studies of the economic valuation function. To do this, the definitions of ecosystem goods and services must match across studies. Failure to do so means that the results of ecological studies cannot be carried over into economic valuation studies. Attempts to value ecosystem services without this key link will either fail to have ecological underpinnings or fail to be relevant as valuation studies.
Where an ecosystem's services and goods can be identified and measured, it will often be possible to assign values to them by employing existing economic valuation methods. The emerging desire to measure the environmental costs of human activities, or to assess the benefits of environmental protection and restoration, has challenged the state of the art in environmental evaluation in both the ecological and the social sciences. Some ecosystem goods and services cannot be valued because they are not quantifiable or because available methods are not

Atwood Oceanics Inc.: Fleet Analysis As Of December 1, 2014, And CommentaryFun Trading • Wed, Dec. 3 • 11 Comments
- Atwood Oceanics released its fleet status on December 1, 2014. Few changes in contract can be noticed.
- The oil industry is collapsing due to the OPEC unwillingness along with the rest of the producers worldwide to cut production at the level of the actual weak demand.
- ATW is a good company- well-managed with a strong backlog that will shield it against a prolonged bearish cycle. I recommend accumulating ATW on weakness.

Atwood: Undervalued With Great Potential Upside For The Long TermConrado Foglio Bonda • Sat, Nov. 8 • 9 Comments
- Atwood Oceanics is a leading offshore drilling company engaged in the drilling and completion of exploration and development wells for the global oil and gas industry.
- With a Forward PE of just 7.7x, this Mid Cap Offshore Driller is extremely attractive.
- The company is profitable and has a strong balance sheet to ride out the difficulties this industry is experiencing.
- Atwood Oceanics contracts are long-term and this ensures strong cash flow even in weak offshore markets.
- The company is initiating first quarterly dividend from 1Q15 and the dividend is sustainable considering the cash flow visibility.
- New rig delivery in 2015 and 2016 will keep the growth momentum strong for Atwood and the company expects strong double digit EPS growth in 2015 and 2016.
- Atwood and Seadrill are two quality companies but Atwood is the better pick.
- Both companies have a best-in-class fleet and backlog.
- But Atwood has a more conservative balance sheet and dividend policy.

- ATW recently announced initiation of a $0.25 per share dividend effective 2015.

- Atwood is a well managed and well-equipped company that will fare better than most of its peers in the industry. The company seems a safe bet and should be accumulated.

- The market has turned decisively against offshore drillrig operators on the assumption of falling dayrates and unused drill capacity. Is the market being efficient, or is this an opportunity?
- I take a closer look at Atwood Oceanics, a mid-tier driller with strong fundamentals, including strong financial position, earnings history, and revenue efficiency.
- Atwood's earnings and contract visibility provide a floor upon which a highly pessimistic scenario can be simulated. Do share prices reflect this terrible scenario already?
- I suggest that shares of Atwood incorporate a lot of low expectations already, which the company should easily beat, even with cyclical headwinds at play.
Atwood Oceanics: Don't Fret Start-Up ProblemsStone Fox Capital • Tue, Aug. 19 • 2 Comments
- Outside start-up issues, modern fleet to provide advantages going forward.
- Revenue efficiency remains very high on established fleet.
- Atwood Oceanics trades at an attractive valuation compared to larger competitors.
Atwood Oceanics Inc.: Fleet Analysis And Third-Quarter Results On July 30 And CommentaryFun Trading • Mon, Aug. 4 • 33 Comments
- Atwood Oceanics released its third-quarter results last week. Revenues were good despite a challenging environment.
- The company is a mid-tier offshore driller that has successfully enhanced its fleet to the UDW drillships market with its Atwood advantage and soon Atwood Achiever.
- I believe it is the right time to accumulate this stock, for the rebound in 2015, and despite some headwinds ahead, particularly with the jackup sector.
Atwood Drilling: A Look Ahead To The Company's Upcoming EarningsHeather Ingrassia • Mon, Jul. 7 • 1 Comment
- Analysts are expecting ATW to earn $1.12/share in terms of EPS when the company announces its FQ3 results on July 28.
- Recent trend behavior could continue well into the second-half of the year, if ATW can meet and/or exceed analysts earnings expectations for the upcoming quarter.
- If the company can demonstrate increases in net income and contract drilling revenue while decreasing its overall costs, then I strongly believe ATW should have no problem exceeding estimates.
Atwood Oceanics Inc.: Fleet Analysis And Recent Q2 Result Comments And Recommendation.Fun Trading • Thu, May. 15 • 21 Comments
- Atwood Oceanics Inc. delivered its second-quarter 2014 results recently, which have been affected by Atwood Advantage's new ultra-deepwater startup delays.
- The analysis of the company's fleet is showing some potential and also few weaknesses in this general softening environment.
- ATW as well as RDC, wants to expand in the ultra-deepwater sector at maybe the wrong time, which will eventually slow growth later. The company is not serving dividends.

Tue, Dec. 23, 6:55 PM
- Goldman Sachs' David Kostin thinks it's time for patient investors with at least a 12-month time horizon to begin loading up on energy companies.
- The Goldman team recommends refiners such as Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC) and Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX), as well as midstream companies that are less sensitive to oil prices and offer the potential for dividend growth, including EQT Midstream Partners (NYSE:EQM), Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) and Cheniere Energy (NYSEMKT:LNG).
- With capital spending sure to take a hit and oil prices likely to remain volatile, oil service companies probably aren't the way to go, but Goldman considers the more defensive names such as Atwood Oceanics (NYSE:ATW), Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) and Oceaneering (NYSE:OII) as the best of a bad lot.
Tue, Dec. 23, 6:19 PM
- Although the energy sector led today's stock advance, a raft of companies downgraded by Global Hunter mostly took it on the chin - none more so than Key Energy (NYSE:KEG), which plunged 15% after shares were cut to Reduce from Neutral with a $1.50 price target that was reduced from $2.50.
- Also downgraded to Reduce were HERO -6.1%, NBR -3.2%, DO +1.3%.
- Lowered to Neutral were HAL +0.5%, GEOS -8.9%, HP -2.9%, BAS -2.5%, PKD -2.5%, BHI +0.6%, BBEP -0.2%, MEP +0.1%.
- Downgraded to Accumulate: PES -3.5%, PTEN -1.1%, NGLS +2.9%.
- The firm upgraded five stocks - ATW, NOV, OII, RES and SPN - all of which gained in today's trading.
Fri, Dec. 19, 5:25 PM
- Transocean (NYSE:RIG) shares finished sharply higher today (+7.9%), but it's hard to ignore the largely negative December fleet status report that came out late yesterday.
- In lowering his stock price target to $17 from $20, Cowen analyst J.B. Lowe said RIG secured one attractive contract this month, not enough to fill much needed ultra-deepwater floater availability; while RIG was able to put two idle floaters back to work, it had four additional rigs go idle, including one where the customer canceled the contract.
- Lowe believes falling oil prices will put increased strain on dayrates and utilization during 2015.
- Most offshore drilling service contractors racked up strong gains today as crude oil prices rebounded: NE +9.5%, ESV +9.5%, RDC +5.9%, DO +0.5%, ATW +7.1%, PACD +14%.
Fri, Dec. 19, 11:44 AM
- Transocean (RIG +4.6%) discloses that it plans to scrap seven of its older, lower-quality deepwater and midwater vessels, and adds that it may not be finished getting rid of parts of its fleet, even as oil prices and demand for offshore rigs have fallen.
- RIG says it expects to take a related $100M-$140M charge in Q4.
- RIG's decision to put the rigs up for sale comes after a string of vessel retirements and a $2.76B writedown of the company's asset value in November.
- Most offshore drilling service contractors are higher: ESV +5.1%, RDC +1.7%, DO +0.8%, ATW +3.1%, PACD +8.4%, but SDRL -4.3%.
Wed, Dec. 3, 2:53 PM
- Offshore drillers are rising modestly today after suffering a beating this year, but Jefferies cautions against seeing a buying opportunity in the beleaguered group.
- The firm says neither fundamentals nor valuation paint a compelling enough picture of the group; "more importantly, current softness masks the evolution of deepwater drilling to where specifications matter."
- Transocean (RIG +1.6%), which Jefferies says has the biggest contracting challenges both near-term and in the longer-run given a disproportionate mix of older UDW/UK floaters, is the least favorite name, while the firm sees relative value in Atwood Oceanics (ATW +0.7%) and Rowan (RDC +1.2%).
- Among other offshore drillers: DO +3.1%, PACD +3.1%, ESV +1%, NE -0.7%, SDRL -0.7%.
Mon, Dec. 1, 3:19 PM
- A bit late, Guggenheim analyst Darren Gacicia downgrades Seadrill (SDRL -5.5%), Transocean (RIG -4.5%) and Diamond Offshore (DO +3.3%) to Neutral from Buy, finally admitting that downward pressure on oil prices and a potential for capital markets to become shy to fund newbuild deliveries has undercut the tenets of his previous bull thesis.
- SDRL and RIG remain the most levered to deteriorating offshore market conditions, he says, believing SDRL shares may also suffer from an ownership transition from income to value investors and RIG perhaps sharing the same fate, with a 2015 dividend cut likely amid the potential for further asset writedowns.
- At DO, Gacicia sees risk of a dividend cut, rig retirements and deteriorating offshore market fundamentals as negative near-term catalysts; the firm also downgrades Seventy Seven Energy (SSE -16.2%), Cameron (CAM -2.8%), Frank's International (FI -0.1%) and FMC Tech (FTI -0.1%).
- In the space, the analyst prefers drillers with high-quality assets, solid contract coverage and a lack of funding needs, such as Noble Corp. (NE -0.2%) - which also has a buyback catalyst - Atwood Oceanics (ATW -0.1%) and Pacific Drilling (PACD -3.7%).
Fri, Nov. 28, 9:45 AM
- The sector was wrecked on Wednesday as Seadrill suspended its dividend amid "significant deterioration" in the oil market, and its North Atlantic Drilling suspended its payout because of the same combined with the delay in its Rosneft deal.
- The market "deteriorates" even further today with OPEC's decision yesterday not to cut production. WTI crude is "off the lows" as they say, but still down 5.8% at $69.43 per barrel.
- Seadrill (SDLP), North Atlantic Drilling (NADL -8.3%), ENSCO (ESV -8.8%), Atwood (ATW -7.7%), Rowan (RDC -7.2%), Pacific Drilling (PACD -4.5%).
Wed, Nov. 26, 5:37 PM
Wed, Nov. 26, 10:42 AM
- Seadrill (SDRL -19.2%) shares are plunging after the drilling contractor suspended dividend payments due to "significant deterioration" in the broader markets, and North Atlantic Drilling (NADL -13.8%) suspends its dividend because of the delay of its agreement with Rosneft as well as the weaker market.
- The move is slamming the entire sector, and Wells Fargo says that although SDRL is the first driller to cut its dividend, Diamond Offshore (DO -8.3%) and Transocean (RIG -4.7%) will "ultimately have to follow suit."
- Also: SDLP -6.6%, ESV -4.8%, ATW -4.3%, RDC -3.3%, NE -3.2%, PACD -6.5%, ORIG -2.7%, HP -1.1%, RIGP -2.5%.
Mon, Nov. 17, 3:59 PM
- In the wake of Halliburton's (NYSE:HAL) $34.6B offer for Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), it appears the next hot sector for M&A action is energy: More consolidation is likely, given the weakness for stocks in the oilfield services subsector, low interest rates, and as a drop in demand for oil increases cutthroat pricing competition.
- Speculation is running rampant as investors try to figure out who is next in an industry that is sure to undergo some more consolidation; some names identified as possible candidates include Kodiak Oil and Gas (NYSE:KOG), Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO), Northern Oil and Gas (NYSEMKT:NOG), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:PXD).
- GE could go after National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) to show it is serious about the energy industry after last year's purchase of pumpmaker Lufkin, Royal Bank of Canada says, and Oppenheimer says even BP could be an acquisition candidate.
- But Morgan Stanley does not see offshore drillers getting in on the action, as larger players like Diamond Offshore (NYSE:DO), Transocean (NYSE:RIG) and Seadrill (NYSE:SDRL) are still addressing dividend concerns while smaller companies such as Atwood Oceanics (NYSE:ATW) and Pacific Drilling (NYSE:PACD) still trade close to replacement value.
Mon, Nov. 10, 6:04 PM
- Atwood Oceanics (NYSE:ATW): Q3 EPS of $1.72 beats by $0.17.
- Revenue of $323.3M (+10.4% Y/Y) beats by $2.6M.
- Shares +8.9% AH.
- Press Release
Sun, Nov. 9, 5:35 PM
Wed, Nov. 5, 3:31 PM
- Rowan (RDC +4.4%) leads offshore drillers higher after easily beating Q3 earnings estimates and forecasting revenues to rise in 2015 despite its own predictions for a soft rig market next year; it certainly doesn't hurt that oil prices are higher today.
- FBR Capital says it likes RDC as both a near-term idea on a sentiment snap-back and as a longer-term investment opportunity for patient investors; the firm believes the risk in RDC is mitigated by the company's fully locked-up ultra-deepwater newbuild fleet, whose contract starts account for the entirety of net earnings growth it foresees from 2014 to 2016, as well as concentrated exposure to high-spec jackups, which make up 93% of 2015 jackup earnings and should see fundamentals hold up better than the other classes.
- Also: RIG +5.2%, SDRL +4.5%, ESV +3.6%, DO +5.7%, NE +5.4%, ATW +2%.
Tue, Nov. 4, 1:45 PM
- November is just two days old, but offshore drillers Transocean (RIG -4.7%), Seadrill (SDRL -7.2%), Diamond Offshore (DO -3.6%), Atwood Oceanics (ATW -2.6%) and Noble Corp. (NE -5.2%) are down more than 8% so far this month.
- The Zephirin Group thinks plunging oil prices are already beginning to impact demand for offshore drilling platforms, and the current dayrate range for ultra-deepwater drillships of mid $400-500/day is not helping the outlook.
- The latest piece of evidence of the weakness is ATW's six-month postponement of the delivery of two drillships under construction, which Zephirin expects will cost the company an additional $40M-$45M per rig.
- The firm also foresees a high possibility that the 2015-16 market and contract renewals rates could shift below expectations when energy companies start announcing 2015 capex budgets late this year.
Mon, Nov. 3, 2:58 PM
- Offshore drillers are broadly lower after Atwood Oceanics (ATW -5.2%) discloses in its latest fleet status report that it is delaying two deliveries in its fleet, and Diamond Offshore (DO -4.7%) is downgraded to Strong Sell from Sell at Nordea.
- The damage is minimal at Ensco (ESV -0.9%), however, as Johnson Rice analysts offer positive commentary on the "top-tier producer" after ESV's Q3 results displayed impressive operational execution while management made several positive moves during the quarter to improve the company's financial flexibility.
- While management continues to expect further floater utilization and dayrate challenges through 2015, the jackup market was described as a potential near-term offset to floater headwinds as ESV cited record backlog within the jackup fleet and expected incremental Middle East jackup demand in H1 2015.
- Also: Caledonia deal not likely to held Transocean (RIG -2.8%) shareholders, analyst says.
- Also: RDC -2.8%, SDRL -3.1%, NE -1.1%, PACD -2.4%.
Thu, Oct. 23, 3:46 PM
- Diamond Offshore's (DO +5.5%) better than expected Q3 results is providing a lift across the offshore drilling sector today: RIG +3.8%, ESV +4.1%, RDC +2.6%, SDRL +1.9%, PKD +3.6%, HP +3.1%, ATW -0.5%.
- It was a trifecta of good news for DO: Its operating profit of $0.97/share easily topped Wall Street consensus for $0.79, it announced a special dividend of $0.75/share, and a positive fleet status update included two new rigs that had found work with Hess and Petrobras extending contracts on three rigs for three years.
- However, Cowen's J.B. Lowe is cautious, noting that while that the $400K dayrates with Hess give DO a solid backlog though a soft time in the market, "they represent a new low in leading-edge newbuild ultra-deepwater floaters in this part of the cycle."

Yes, how do i get the twitter sidebar to work. is there a need to change anything in the Scripts folder?
I'm working on this.
When installing this theme, I get an error message stating
"Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed."
I've looked within the files and see each color scheme folder (blue, green,orange,pink) all have a CSS file within it but i'm not sure why i'm getting this failed theme message.
This is not a wordpress theme it's an html template.
OMFG, I feel like a retard lol! Defintely thought this was a wordpress theme
Hello there. This is a really great template and I'm really happy that i've got it for free, YAY
But i can't get the twitter integration to work. I've changed some information on the Scripts/twitter.js file but had no success. Actually i only changed the vars ''Username" to my actual twitter username, but that didn't work. Any hints on this?
Thanks. Full Moon it's very cool!
Thank you!
Hello. This is a simple good looking theme. Why it is not still for giveaway download? It is still 28.02.2013

Hi, great work, but I got problem with form on the contact page, when I try move form to another page it does't work, it still look nice but I can't input any text there, I suspect this is problem with JS, but I can't find where exactly
Hi. This is a great template, but how can i get the contact form to show only from my domain in the from section ie: From firstname.lastname@example.com instead of From email@example.com
Thanks in advance
Hi Alex,
Did you ever fix the Twitter issue?
Also, when selecting the portfolio-grid page from the drop-down menu, it always starts with page 2 highlighted, even if you try to select page 1. Can you spot the fix for this? I can't see where the error is.
Otherwise, a beautiful template! Thanks
This is a beautiful theme. I have just one question – on the top navigation (#nav), I'd like the current page to have a slightly different color background. The background changes on hover, but I'd like it to be a slightly different color when the current page is selected. I've tried defining a:current but I must be doing something wrong.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
On the featured slideshow how would you get the black arrow pointing to the image to start at the top, it starts on the second item down.
Thanks in advance

SHENZHEN, China — The health of the container shipping market will be better in 2013 and continue to improve in the following years, but growth will still be slow, requiring carriers and shippers to forge "a new type of cooperation," Cosco Group Director and President Ma Zehua said on Wednesday.
Ma said he is optimistic about the future largely because the International Monetary Fund forecasts trade will expand 4.5 percent year-over-year in 2013, the supply-demand relationship will be more balanced, and European and U.S. markets will stabilize slightly.
Global container volume will grow 4.1 percent next year compared to 3.9 percent expansion this year, while total container capacity will expand 4.3 percent, a 2.4 percentage point decrease from 2012 growth, Ma told an audience of more than 500 at The Journal of Commerce's TPM Asia Conference in Shenzhen, China.
He cited Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development statistics forecasting European imports will grow 2.2 percent in 2013, compared to a decline of 0.8 percent this year, while U.S. imports will jump 6.3 percent, a 2.5 percentage point improvement from this year.
"Recovery of the European and American markets will help improve the balance of transport for export and import, maintain stable freight rates and support container market recovery," Ma said.
To best tap this expected global growth, container lines must gain a deeper understanding of their customers' needs, better match supply to demand and improve overall service.
"The drastic volatility of the industry over the past two decades did not only threaten interests of consignors and shipping companies, but also harmed the stability and sustainability of services in the industry," Ma told the audience. "We cannot go through history once more; we need a new type of cooperation."
Container lines need to make more commitments on service to shippers, and Cosco Group plans to do so but also needs it customers' help, he said. The creation of longer-term partnerships, and even fixed-term agreements, along with increased cooperation with logistics provides, terminal operators, non-vessel-operating common carriers and other supply chain interests, will further this aim.
"To achieve this, I think, shipping companies are supposed to, first, extend their transport network through cooperation and joint operation; second, if we have to introduce larger vessels to improve efficiency, we should do it through cooperation with other partners rather than each company acting on their own," Ma said.
This also will allow carriers to provide cheaper service without adding too much capacity to a single market and order new vessels with their partners, as to reduce new orders and create a more "self-disciplinary market." He warned that despite the best efforts, "volatility in the shipping market is inevitable."
"We must pay more attention to changes in the market, details in the management, value in service and opportunities in cooperation," Ma said. "Only by doing to can we have orderly, sustained and healthy development."

Triangle Petroleum's CEO Discusses F2Q 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We initiated in the quarter 1,000 barrels a day of hedges for the balance of this year. So costs of color with a floor of approximately $81 and a ceiling of $102 or $103. We also put in 500 barrels a day for the balance of 2013 and 2014 with a similar band.
Regarding our philosophy on hedging on a go forward basis, we are very, very comfortable in the 80/100 range. We would like to increase our hedges and you should definitely expect more from us.
Regarding RockPile, this was RockPile's first quarter of operations, they started up with surprisingly very, very wider, and any start-up operation you can imagine there was going to be some bumps in the road and we really avoided those and the teams did a fantastic job. We completed two wells in the quarter and are fully functional and going today they are zipper-fracking two wells for us in Williams County. We have an additional three wells in McKenzie County that are waiting on completion.

text: Cymbalta poops out I'd been on SSRIs for years, most recently with adjunctive Wellbutrin. Switching to Cymbalta seemed reasonable after an inadequate response. For about two weeks I felt better, but after two months I've now stopped the drug, as it's lost any beneficial effect. On the plus side, really no side effects and less insomnia than with my prior meds. It's worth a try if you're having trouble, but my experience wasn't so hot.

The console edition of the action-RPG was originally announced for the PS3 and PS4 back in February. However, a month later it emerged Diablo 3 on consoles wasn't necessarily Sony-exclusive, and sure enough Blizzard announced the Xbox 360 version this morning.
Blizzard says both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions include all the "major content and design updates" made to the original PC game, which was released last summer. Also, pre-orders on both platforms receive the 'Infernal Helm' in-game item.
Update: When asked if Diablo 3 is coming to the Xbox One, a Blizzard spokesperson told Joystiq, "We're excited for console players to get their hands on Diablo 3, but we don't have any further platform announcements to share at this time."
