Pierce nabs 3-Point; Nash wins Skills
Updated: February 14, 2010, 10:01 AM ETAssociated Press
DALLAS -- Nate Robinson is the NBA's first three-time slam dunk champion, and that's enough for him. The 5-foot-9 New York Knicks guard says he's done with the marquee event of Saturday night's All-Star festivities.
"No, no, no, no, no. I don't think I can bear that anymore. I'm just happy with this third one," he said. "This is the last one."
Robinson barely won another title, garnering 51 percent of the fan vote to hold off Toronto rookie DeMar DeRozan in a largely forgettable dunk ...

Sakamoto appeared on the jewelry scene in Los Angeles in 1979. Since it was an exciting and innovative time, there was a resurgence of interest in uniqueness and quality. A new designer movement was to begin and these young men and women were destined to be collected as were the works of Tiffany and Cartier. Sakamoto is a third generation Japanese American describing himself as a minimalist and is challenged to create jewelry where less is more. He likes to work in platinum and 18k gold because they take on strong sensual shapes, can curve, bend and arc gracefully. Both feminine and masculine in form like yin/yang.

A fairly old service area squished into the local area. The southbound site is actually located off the J64 exit sliproad, and traffic leaving the services has to cross this to rejoin the motorway.
Recently dropped its fuel prices so that it is one of very few services which are competing with local garages.

Prices are paid using PayByPhone - more details. The location code is 2474 (northbound) and 2475 (southbound).
The fees are strictly enforced by CP Plus.
Trivia and History
The design was airport inspired, aiming for modern, pan-European travellers. As part of its desire to be futuristic, the food it offered was part cooked, then put into a vending machine, where customers could buy it and take it to a microwave along with cooking instructions.
When it opened, the footbridge, which spans three sliproads, was the longest in the UK. The northbound side had an 'up' escalator to take people up into the "futuristic and robotic" southbound services.
The Highways Agency have listed Washington as an "approved truckstop", something which surprisingly few service areas are. Previously the Highways Agency's approved truckstop was the Nightowl Truckstops site at the rear of the services which accessed from the local road network.
A Greggs outlet opened here on 14 March 2013 on the southbound side.
Oh, and to any Americans who many be reading this, this is the real Washington we're talking about.
Survey Results
In May 2012, Visit England rated the services as 3 stars. In August 2011, they gave the southbound services 3 stars and northbound 2.
In 2005 and again in 2006, the services won a five-star loo award.

The Register
23rd February 2009
A consortium of US federal agencies have drawn up a list of critical
security controls they hope will serve as a gold standard for
The Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG) list is part of larger plans to
apply the CSIS Commission report on cybersecurity as a blueprint for
making information security systems more secure. A public consultation
on the scheme, launched on Monday, is due to run through 23 March. After
that point federal security agencies will road-test the scheme.
Information security specialists at federal agencies pooled their
knowledge on current attack techniques and countermeasures to draw up a
list of 20 key actions, termed security controls, that organisations
need to take to defend against assault. The first 15 controls on the
draft list lend themselves to automation, while the remaining five have
more to do with broader security policy and personnel issues.
Although these controls were drawn up by federal agencies they might be
applied across diverse industry sectors from retailing, to banks,
defense contractors and government agencies.

Dr. Jenkins will then perform a series of physical exams including: range of motion, postural analysis, palpation analysis, orthopedic exam, and neurological exam as needed. An x-ray exam may also be done on an as needed bases. The findings from these exams help fine tune the care plan for each person; making it as specific to your needs and concerns as possible. You will then be scheduled for a second appointment.
In between the first and second visit Dr. Jenkins will study and analyze the information gathered on the first visit to create a personalized care plan just for you . When you come in on the second visit, Dr. Jenkins will explain to you what he found during the exam, what can be done about it, and how long it will take.

I had an ache in my lower back that became worse after lifting something heavy. This caused difficulty concentrating at work and even problems sleeping. I tried medicine and massage with little benefit. After only the 1st week of care with Dr. Jenkins the pain dissipated, and within a month I felt back to normal. After the first month of treatment I felt so much better; I could sleep better and I had more energy. Dr. Jenkins is great – he focuses on the areas that need adjusting so it's very effective. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to feel better!

Both cars progressed easily through to the top 10 Q3 session, however Kimi span on his fast lap. Kimi Räikkönen, E20-05. Q : P8, 1:32.208. FP3 : P12, 1:33.224: "I spun. I was on a good lap and I was pushing – maybe a little too hard – and lost the rear. It's a shame as the car feels the best it has all weekend. If the car's good tomorrow we should be able to move forwards. Let's see what happens." Romain Grosjean, E20-03. Q : P5, 1:31.898. FP3 : P7 1:33.008: "Yesterday we had two tricky sessions, so to have both cars in Q3 is a good recovery. We knew it would be very tight in qualifying and I think we could maybe have been one place higher with a cleaner run through the first sector, but the leaders were too quick today. We're lacking a little bit of downforce at the moment, but with a few minor adjustments overnight and the right strategy I think we can take home a good haul of points tomorrow." Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director : "Not bad but we could have done better." How do you assess today's qualifying performance ? "We had the pace to get both cars further up the grid. Kimi spun off on a new set of tyres which hampered his progress and Romain didn't have a great first sector on his qualifying lap so he could have maybe been a place higher, but overall, it's been a reasonable weekend so far." How are we looking for the race ? "We're comfortable with the E20's performance on a full fuel load and over long runs so we're looking forward to the race and hopeful that we can gain positions from where we start. Suzuka is pretty demanding on the tyres and we have shown well in this area previously, so there's certainly potential." How do the different tyre compounds perform here ? "We know these tyres pretty well. For qualifying there was a reasonable difference in pace, but for the race it's likely to be more even." Subbed by AJN.

BOONE, N.C. -- The Boone Best Western hotel operator charged in the carbon monoxide poisoning deaths of three hotel guests turned himself in Friday and pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
Barry Damon Mallatere, 50, also posted a $40,000 bond.
His attorneys say they look forward to a trial and are releasing documents claiming others are at fault.
An elderly couple from Washington State and 11-year-old Jeffrey Williams from Rock Hill died after staying in room 225. Their stays in the room above the hotel pool were a couple months apart in 2013.
One of Mallatere's attorneys released documents about work done on the pool heater that investigators say leaked the carbon monoxide.
A Boone building permit from Boone says Mallatere contracted with the now-defunct Independence Oil company to convert the pool heater to natural gas from propane. A Boone building inspection report has marks on it showing the inspection of that heater conversion passed.
Attorneys say hotel employees initially swapped out the pool heater. But months later, and before anyone died, the hotel contracted that conversion out to the oil company and they say that work was done incorrectly.
(We) believe the truth will come out. Everyone will see that anything that may have gone on -- none of it went on with any criminal intent, said attorney David Freedman, who represents Mallatere and was with him when he turned himself in.
Regardless of what he (Mallatere) is going through, it pales in comparison to what the families of the three people who passed away in the hotel room are going through, Freedman said.
Mallatere is the only person charged in the deaths. He faces three counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of assault causing serious bodily injury.
He is due in court next month.

Super fun outting on a school night!
Next time I will go early to spend more time in the museum. And beware, the butterfly exhibit closes before the event is over. Don't wait to finish trivia before you visit the butterflies!

This was the perfect relaxing after work thing. It was very low key, and there were 2 giant snakes slithering around. A burmese albino python, and something else with dark spots. They had trainers with them and even the trainers were really...continued

ComEd Reaches Grid Modernization Milestone With 2,700th Pole Replaced
CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ComEd announced that it completed the replacement or reinforcement of more than 2700 wood poles in its service territory in 2012, a 200 percent increase over previous years. Inspecting, replacing and reinforcing poles makes ComEd's electric system more storm resistant and reduces customer power outages. In addition to reinforcement and replacement, ComEd inspected and treated more than 137,000 poles.
ComEd announced this goal early in 2012 as part of the grid modernization program under the Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (EIMA), which was passed in 2011 by the Illinois General Assembly.
"Utility poles are the foundation for our above-ground system," said Terence Donnelly, executive vice president and chief operating officer, ComEd. "This work is critically important in strengthening the electric grid. We are improving the reliability of our electric system for our customers, which includes preparing for damaging storms."
ComEd uses treated wood poles for its distribution system. Distribution poles are typically up to 70 feet tall.ComEd is investing $2.6 billion to upgrade and improve the reliability of its system as part of EIMA. The utility has been working to improve its infrastructure and add smart technologies, bringing benefits to customers throughout northern Illinois. Major accomplishments in 2012 include:
- Installing over 470 distribution automation devices, or "smart switches," which avoided 82,000 customer interruptions last year
- Replacing or treating more than 464 miles of underground residential cable –a 100 percent increase over previous years
- Replacing over 46 miles of mainline cable– around four times the annual average
- Assessing over 8,000 manholes and refurbishing more than 4,500.

text: This is a well-written insight to the whiskey making business in Texas. Especially noted was the part dealing with Texas' Distillery out of Lewisville. Even though their trademark for "Silver Star" was not yet approved by the Federal Trademark Commission, I had in place already our DBA and dot com website for "Silver Star Winery of Texas," a catergory completedly different in a vineyard and winery in East Texas. Our trademark application was initially rejected by a poor excuse for an examining attorney for the Commission who was both rude and unprofessional in her appraisal of our pending trademark. Beside Obamacare, the Federal Trademark Commission, as the majority of Federal agencies under Obama believe the American public is stupid. A personal phone call from the owner of Texas' distillery of Lewisville to me personally threatening me was in the same catergory as the Obama administration. True makers of fine wines and whiskey are more than marketing ploys, but love and hard work toward the craft of making fine wines and whiskey as this article so well demonstrates. http://silverstarwineryoftexas.com

The Lembeh Liturgy
Much ado about muck
*By: Tim Ho
In Lembeh, where rare, swift marine critters thrive in camouflaged environments, the odd tip or trick is handy to ensure underwater photographers don't return empty-handed. Contrasted against a gargantuan dive site, perfect timing and impeccable knowledge of tiny animal behaviour come hand-in-hand with bagging the most difficult, yet peerlessly fascinating shots.
It's Shoaltime
*By: Jun V Lao
From three to beyond 10 metres in Moalboal's daylight waters, a mammoth school of sardines magnificently obscures sunlight. Blowing the minds of avid divers for over a decade, turtle encounters and shark play amidst this still growing, massive shoal, rendering this site a must-visit for phenomenon-crazy divers.
Doing Subic
*By: Jun V Lao
A historic trove of WWII wrecks, Subic Bay is becoming a site to look out for. It could be a haven for hardcore tek divers who are willing to brave highly turbid waters for breathtaking highlights – such as huge wrecks, tornadoes and estuaries that bring about a profusion of gaudy, eye-popping marine creatures.
Gone Tek
A Diver's Diary
The Final Entry
*By: Will Goodman
Plunging into his final dive of his world record attempt of over 290 metres with a closed circuit rebreather, Will Goodman contends with a switch in dive location, staggered entry times and final checks on his JJ-CCR. Presenting a blow-by-blow account on the extremely challenging descent and ascent, he describes why the best thing about a deep dive is still the free fall.
Revisiting Tulamben
More than one way to approach an icon
*By: Chris Simanjuntak
Scanning the seabed, one is entranced by a legendary historical shipwreck, beautifully embellished with myriad soft corals. Here is one chrished location where marine life flourishes in variety and abundance alongside diving tourism – mutually reinforcing elements that make Tulamben a truly unique underwater icon.

1st TM and need local anesthesia...Safe?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-19-2010 - 6:19pm
Hi all,
Have a question and hoping someone out there has some experience in this area...
I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and just saw a dermatologist today to look at a suspicious mole. Sure enough she said it has to come off. At first she said she wanted to wait until I was 13 weeks due to the epinephrine in the local anesthetic, but then said she could use lidocaine without the epinephrine and do it sooner if I preferred.
I called my OB's office who thought lidocaine in first TM was ok, although I spoke to the nurse and not my OB, so unsure what she actually said. From what I've read online the data is conflicting. Some sources say lidocaine is ok anytime in pregnancy, others say only in 2nd and 3rd TM, and others say not all all!
I am nervous about the mole as my dad was just diagnosed with melanoma in situ, so I do want to get it off ASAP but do not want to do anything that might harm the baby. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
|Fri, 08-20-2010 - 1:31pm
get the mole off, Betsy. Lidocaine is fine...just like dental work...they don't want to be doing elective stuff, but if you have need of a root canal etc, they will do it and they WILL freeze you. It is only a one time thing, you'll be fine. The last thing you need to worry about while PG is the mole that could get worse.
That reminds me...I need to see a dermatologist myself.
|Fri, 08-20-2010 - 6:29pm
I think I going to go ahead with it now. Or at least within the next couple of weeks. I put off going to the dermatologist for so long. Hadn't really been checking my own skin either and then when I finally did I found this weird looking mole. Anyways I think it will make me feel better to just get it off.
Thanks again and good luck to you!

DETROIT (AP) — The game between the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers Saturday was postponed because of rain.
The third game of the series never started. It was postponed after a delay of 1 hour, 25 minutes. Light rain began to fall about 10 minutes after the scheduled start and it quickly got heavier without much relief in sight on radar maps.
The game will be made up in a day-night double-header today. The first game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and the second at 7:05.
Detroit has had four home games postponed due to rain in the last 14 days.
Boston has won four straight and 12 of its last 14 games.
The Tigers have dropped two straight and seven of 10.

Orbitz Hotel Low Price Guarantee is a Scam!!
Posted by
I booked a hotel in September 2010 through Orbitz and found a lower fare through another website within 24 hours. I submitted a claim and was refunded the before-tax difference. With a higher price basis for tax calculation, Orbitz charged more tax than the other website, but that difference was not refunded.
The Hotel Low Price Guarantee also promises a $50 coupon, which I received a month after submitting the claim. However, the fine print on the coupon states that I must use the coupon within 2 months to book a hotel of 3 nights or more, which is very restrictive and essentially renders the coupon useless since I have no near-future travel plans.
Therefore, if you're relying on Orbitz's Hotel Low Price Guarantee to get the lowest rate, you're screwed. You'll end up paying more in taxes, and the $50 coupon is useless.
Hotel Low Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions:
If you book a qualifying prepaid hotel rate on the Orbitz Web site, and then find the same room, in the same hotel, for the same dates, at a lower price online, before taxes and fees, we'll refund the difference. If the lower price is found on the Orbitz Web site, Orbitz will rebook your hotel reservation at the lower price and issue a refund for the difference. In either instance, we will give you a refund and a $50 discount on a future hotel or vacation package booking. Just submit your claim to Orbitz before the hotel's cancellation fees apply. Qualifying rates are marked with a "Low Price Guarantee" label.
Orbitz will refund the difference to the credit card you used to make your hotel reservation in approximately 7 - 10 business days. You'll receive the $50 coupon via e-mail.
Remember to make a printout or take a screen shot of the page with the lower rate, in case a customer service representative has questions. Expect a response to your claim within 72 hours. Please read General Terms below for full details.
In addition to the Low Price Guarantee, customers who book a prepaid hotel rate are also covered by Orbitz Price Assurance. If another Orbitz customer books the same itinerary for at least $5 less than the hotel booked on Orbitz.com, Orbitz will refund the difference up to $500 per reservation automatically.

If I were you I would be thankful you got anything back at all. Most of the time they find some sort of excuse or loophole not to honor their guarantee.

SteveWiginowski on 11/02/2010:
There has to be a reason why the taxes were not refunded to you. Taxes are paid to the government, so it's not like the money will be income to Orbitz. I'd be curious to see how their accounting system accounts for this. Ideally, they would still pay the government (or Hotel) the full taxes, despite the price of the room being reduced.
dwang15213 on 11/03/2010:
Unlike airline tickets, most hotel reservations are 100% refundable up to 24 hours before check in. If Orbitz didn't refund the difference, I would've simply cancelled the entire reservation and booked on the other website. I still went with Orbitz, despite having to pay higher taxes, because I was expecting a $50 voucher for future use. However, what I did not expect was that the voucher came with very restrictive terms, which they did not disclose in their low price guarantee statement.

My name is Tabbitha, and I am a part of the Orbitz Customer Relations Team. I saw your post, and would like to see what I can due to assist you. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please, include my name in the subject line, and in the body, please include your screen name for this site.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I emailed Tabbitha and got the same response from Orbitz insisting that the terms of the voucher were disclosed, which they did not. The $50 Orbitz Best Price Guarantee voucher must be used within 2 months on a hotel stay of 3 nights or more. This restriction was not disclosed anywhere on their website. Therefore, if you book a hotel through Orbitz and find a lower fare elsewhere, unless you have an extended vacation coming up, do not use their claims process. Simply cancel the reseration within 24 hours of check-in and book through the other website so you get the lower taxes too. Do your due diligence!

Room Not What Advertised... Never Again
Posted by
VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA -- I will never, EVER use Orbitz to reserve a room or stay at a Ramada Hotel again. I reserved and paid for my room 10 days prior to my planned trip. When I checked in, I was told that the room I reserved was not available at that time and that it was not available at the time that I paid for it. The desk clerk and night manager were apologetic, but had an attitude of 'Oh well, its not our fault' They asked if I was certain of the amenities of the room I reserved (as if I was mistaken about what I paid for) When I produced the copy of my itinerary showing that I had reserved a King, smoking room with private balcony and jetted Jacuzzi tub, the clerk shrugged her shoulders and said, Sorry, we don't have it. I don't know what Orbitz did.
After checking into the offered double room with regular tub, I contacted Orbitz customer service online. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, they advised that the hotel was busy and could not talk to them right then and for me to call the 800 number in 30 minutes to an hour. An hour later, I contacted customer service by phone, was placed on hold and after about 20 minutes, the Orbitz representative advised that they were willing to credit $10 per night for my inconvenience. First of all, there are MANY cheaper hotels in Virginia Beach at this time of year and if the cost was the only consideration, I would have booked one of those. The amenities I desired were the REASON I booked the room the way that I did. I advised customer service that this was not an acceptable solution and hung up. On Monday, after returning home, I emailed customer service asking for a fair resolution to this problem. I received a response fairly quickly advising that a supervisor would be in contact. 5 days later, still not one word from the supervisor. Do not advertise or book and accept payment for rooms that you can not provide! PERIOD!!!
I have a pretty big mouth and will be sure that this information is passed on to everyone I know. ORBITZ bites and Ramada is no better. Each one passed the buck to the other and NEITHER party made it right.

Ramada oversold the room type you were in, so this is mainly their fault.
Soaring Consumer on 03/06/2009:
Despite that Ramada did not have the room, it is the responsibility of Orbitz, as your acting travel agent, to find you a comparable accommodation.
Since they failed to do so, they owe you a partial refund. Contact their corporate offices.
Ben There on 03/06/2009:
Soaring, they are offering $10 a night. Ramada's don't cost that much...
steelheadzlisa on 03/06/2009:
To be fair, they did offer $10 which is a little under 10% of what I paid. Maybe it is a fair offer and I'm wrong...who knows?

Ten bucks is a sucky offer.

Hotel booking in Paris
Posted by
In mid June I decided to go to Europe for an August vacation. I spent a great deal of time researching prices and accommodations on line on several of the discount web sites. I finally selected a hotel that, according to the Orbitz web site, was a 4 star hotel and booked at $144 (U.S.) per night. I could not determine from the web site whether fees and taxes were included. But I booked the hotel.
The following day I received a confirmation from Orbitz, but the confirmation did not have anything re the price of the hotel. At this point, the only information I had re price was the $144 on the web site.
About a week before my trip, my daughter called the hotel to verify a non smoking room and the price as there had been no confirmation of price. She was told that the room had been booked, but at 150 euros per night which is $202 plus taxes and fees.
I contacted Orbitz customer service (what a joke that is). I explained my problem to them and each time I had to speak to someone off the coast of Australia, Manilla, and finally South Dakota (I think). Each employee argued with me that the price was in euros and Orbitz did not have the hotel listed at $144 and implied that I did not know what I was talking about. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The agent would argue with me again and tell me the same garbage that they had just stated previously that I had told them was not addressing my problem. I would have to raise my voice to them and command "I want to speak to a supervisor" before they told me they would get a supervisor, only to be put on hold for 15 or minutes then be hung up on. This happened 2-3 times before I was finally put through to a supervisor.
I told her about the price on line and that the price of the hotel was not discussed or in writing anywhere at any time during the booking process or on my confirmation. She asked me to fax her a copy of the email that Orbitz sent me to confirm the reservation and stated that she would get back to me. 24 hours later, I had heard nothing. So I called back and spoke to 3 other agents (3 separate calls) before being connected to a supervisor. This one was finally in the U.S. but was of little more service than any other representative of the company. She did tell me that I had to verify the 150 euro price 3 times when I made the reservations.
I reminded her that if that had been true, she and I would not be having this current conversation. She said that she would have technical support to look at it (5 or so business days) to see if there was a problem. I reminded her that I would be on my trip by then, but I assured her that I would not let this drop because bait and switch was not an acceptable means of conducting business. I asked for the corporate address and phone number which she gladly provided me. I called the number, got the same answering service I always got when calling Orbitz and another agent off the coast of Australia who insisted that he could help me.
I told him that he would just put me on hold and then hang up on me. He insisted that he would not, and then did so. I called back and was able to select another option and finally got a voice mail-who knows where. This is where I leave the story for now, but I will be back with the conclusion.
Bottom line, If you have no other choices but Orbitz, you should just stay home. I will never use them again and will spread the gospel of Orbitz for the rest of my life. This was supposed to be a vacation.

The best thing you can do when trying to book a trip to an unfamiliar place is to use a travel agent that is familiar with that area. You will save yourself a lot of grief.

Incompetent, Rude, Time-Consuming Orbitz
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The first time Orbitz messed up for me was in Mexico, when we discovered that Orbitz had sent us to a non-existent car rental agency, We ended up without a car and many dollars worth of taxi bills.
The second time Orbitz messed up was when we arrived at a hotel only to find that Orbitz still hadn't confirmed our reservation with them! We ended up waiting for an hour and a half before just booking a room with that hotel.
The third time, this time, Orbitz cancelled my hotel reservation without my permission. Then, they charged me for the entire stay! Wow, Orbitz sucks. I have used every site online and I have to say, Orbitz is the worst. Customer service is offl Orbitz doesn't even know what's going on; no proper contact with the hotels they manage.
I will be sure to tell everyone I know and every review site I can find to avoid Orbitz unless they want to spend an hour of their time trying to rectify a mistake that Orbitz made.

Orbitz , they just don't have any customer service, just the rude girls in call centres. I had a complaint about a hotel in New York who ripped me off which was booked through Orbitz. I sent complaint and even after few weeks they kept on sending me automated messages, but absolutely no resolution. They just busy collecting money by ripping off customers. Don't trust them, they really suck. They are just corporate thieves, or I should say greedy robbers.
DFrat on 08/25/2006:
I have experienced some of the worst customer service of my life with Orbitz over the last week. I have previously made a reservation to fly to Europe in the month of October. Unacceptable changes have been made to my return flight schedule, (my original direct flight from Milan to Washington has become a flight from Milan to NY, NY to Cleveland, Cleveland to Washington) and no one at Orbitz seems to be able to assist me. The first customer service agent told me I needed to call back during the week (as if that's all I have to do during the work week is spend 2 hours on the phone with Orbitz). The second customer service agent told me it wasn't Orbitz problem, I had to call Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Of course Virgin Atlantic then told me that it was NOT their problem that I needed to call Orbitz. The third customer service agent told me that I had to complete my flight to Europe before I could make changes to the return flight. So I'm supposed to fly all the way to Europe with no guarantee as to how I'm supposed to get home. She again suggested that I call Virgin Atlantic, who again insisted that this was Orbitz problem. This is the last time I will use Orbitz.

Do you not confirm your reservations yourself? Use a service for a discount, but confirm on your own. I use a travel agency and STILL confirm with hotel, air, car etc myself.

Total rip off
Posted on
The people who work at Orbitz cheated me badly. They pushed me to buy my air and hotel at a higher price and with an hour I saw the price was significantly lower for the exact same package. I called back and a sales person apologized for such a thing and referred me to the customer care who simply said "WE DON'T CARE, YOU BOOKED AND THEN PRICE DROPPED". Honestly, is not that cheating!!!

I do understand you being upset, but let's look at it this way: You were offered a price for a service and decided that it was a good deal; you paid for the service. Later, you found the deal at a cheaper price and feel as if you should now pay the cheaper price. If you looked and found that the price had increased, would you have called and offered to pay more?
Your best option is to only use these 3rd-party sites for research and book all of your travel plans directly with the companies you choose. You'll have way more leverage when you want to discuss your itinerary and the costs involved.
bibhu.mishra on 06/04/2012:
really!! if you buy something from a seller and find the seller selling same thing to another customer in front of you at a price way cheaper, you would watch and preach!!
come on, we are talking here about customer care and customer satisfaction, not the other way around.
MDSasquatch on 06/04/2012:
As a matter of fact, my wife just bought four round-trip tickets to Puerto Rico at a cost of $1,800 yesterday. Last night, we found similar tickets on another airline for cheaper. What is JetBlue's obligation to us? Nothing.... they gave us a price, it fit into our budget and we bought them, what happens after that is MOOT.
SteveWiginowski on 06/04/2012:
If another customer books the same package that you booked, you will receive a check for the difference from what they paid and what you paid.
bibhu.mishra on 06/04/2012:
If it's another seller we can not do anything. But, if it is same seller same day exactly same package it sounds unfair and it hurts.
I agree with you Steve.
CowboyFan on 06/04/2012:
Bibhu.mishra- If you fill up with gas in the morning, but your neighbor stops at the same station on the way home, and buys the same gas for less, then you think you should get a refund for the difference in price?

A whole bunch of liars
Posted by
When booking a hotel room through Orbitz on line, I got message on the screen "system error, try later". Of course, I tried to book it once again, then the hotel received 2 reservations from me. After we were double charged on credit card, I called Orbitz to report this matter and first agent who answered my call agreed to cancel one reservation for me but she never did. Every time I called Orbitz last 4 weeks, I was treated feeling like I was a liar, just making up story to get money back. Luckily 3 of Orbitz agents agreed to contact the hotel and credit for me but never processed, they were just "saying" we will cancel and credit for you. Can you imagine how many times I had to call them for this simple matter?! I finally asked to speak to a supervisor. "Supervisor" (not sure she was really the supervisor???)said she called the hotel and they told her that I used 2 rooms that night (!) and I agreed to pay for 2 rooms... and there were no records for system error on the day I made a reservation or her agents promised me for credit or cancel. I can not believe all these lies losing money and wasting my time with this company. I don't recommend to use this company at all.

I book directly to avoid these problems. It may cost more, but I seem to have less problems and that's worth a few extra bucks to me.
Weedwhacked on 09/10/2010:
Book directly with the hotel!
Anonymous on 09/10/2010:
Yes, booking directly is highly recommended. This double booking thing has happened to me in the past (system error, try again later), only to find out, like you did, that my order went in twice. The company in question, however, did credit my account immediately. I think reputable companies who care about their customers will always do this because they know these glitches can happen. Shame on Orbitz for creating such a hassle.
Anonymous on 09/10/2010:
As stated previously.......booking directly with the entity which will provide the service is the only way to do business.

Low Price scam
Posted by
Orbitz has 2 different scams going. The Price Assurance and Low Price Guarantee. Neither of these is collectible. Here's why.
Low Price Guarantee. If the hotel you book does not allow cancellation, you cannot collect a "Low Price Guarantee" check, even if Orbitz shows the Low Price Guarantee LOGO on the booking site. Because a non-refundable reservation automatically disqualifies the Low Price Guarantee. Most travelers will not realize this because Orbitz baits you by posting the LPG LOGO. It amounts to a "bait and switch" scheme.
Second is the Price Assurance scam. Yes, to qualify, the traveler paying the lower price MUST also book the same hotel for the exact same date(s), same room type and all other details must match perfectly to collect. That's like near impossible. Your chances to Win a lottery are better than any of Orbitz scams.
So no matter what, you will almost NEVER collect on either of these scams.

This is why I avoid third party bookings.
Ben There on 05/03/2010:
All travel price guarantees (even those direct with the hotels and airlines) are based on same exact dates, room or cabin type and same rules. Considering prices vary greatly by date there really is no other fair way to do it.
Sparticus on 05/03/2010:
I agree about the "price assurance" deal they advertise. The part that bothers me is we as consumers have no way of knowing if someone else booked the same room or flight or whatever for cheaper, that information is not public (for obvious reason). So unless we have a friend book it cheaper (exact same details as us), we'll never know.
Though you would think some consumer agencies would audit stuff like this, and maybe they have...
Either way I used to be a fan of Orbitz, but not any more. I go direct to the airline/hotel sites now.

Orbitz Doesn't Reveal That A Hotel's Elevator Is Out Of Service...
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- After I reserved an air/hotel package for a trip to Chicago through Orbitz, I learned the hotel I booked would have no elevator service until April.
I called Orbitz to see about switching hotels. I was a little shocked to learn that:
1. Even in a case like this, Orbitz tells you to travel to the hotel you've booked and ask to get moved to another property
2. Orbitz does not require hotels to mention major repairs or construction in the descriptions you see on Orbitz
3. Canceling the trip means forfeiting almost all of what I paid.
Bottom line: It smells like deceptive practice to include inaccurate, out-of-date listings for hotels. Orbitz needs to require hotel partners to submit honest listings -- or guarantee that customers have some protection if a hotel is caught in an outright lie.
PS - This hotel is called the Willows, and - again - there's no indication anywhere that it doesn't have elevator service until April. I found out through a Yelp review.

In TripAdvisor there is a posting dated the same day as the one on Yelp. No mention of the elevator out of service, only that it is slow. Another review at the same time but on a different review site also doesn't say a thing about the elevator broken. Have you called the hotel directly?
RestaurantGuy on 03/19/2009:
Book through the hotel. Never go through Priceline,Orbitz etc.. When you go directly through the hotel you can negotiate with the hotel not another company. Also most of the time it is cheaper
michaelnyc on 03/19/2009:
Dear PassingBy:
Yes, I called the hotel to confirm the elevator wasn't in service. Was told it's being replaced. To the hotel's credit, the general manager was very accommodating about finding alternatives. I'm still upset about Orbitz's response, which amounted to, "Yes, we know; tough." Thanks.
Anonymous on 03/23/2009:
I work at a hotel and I can tell you if you need to find the latest information about a hotel always call them- travel sites have no idea what's going on until it is brought to their attention, which is often too late.

Orbitz Is Out To Get You
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I went to the hotel I had reserved for two nights through Orbitz and it was dirtier than a rent-by-the-hour hotel (I would imagine). I complained, setup another hotel, and left a note to the manager demanding my money back for the first night that they had charged me for. I called a week later and the manager said she would refund ALL charges to Orbitz and that Orbitz would have to refund me.
Hector from the Manilla call center, lied to me and said that she refused to refund what Orbitz had paid them. The manager said that Orbitz had called and asked why she was not penalizing me for leaving the hotel shortly after check-in. He offered half of my money back for both days, even though I had only even partially used one day anyway.
When I called and complained to another representative about the phillipino's lies and manipulations, this time I got a North Dakota call center. Only upon threat of legal action and a never ending series of calls to discuss the issue did he agree to refund all of my money.
I paid about $140, Orbitz paid the hotel about $105, and then the hotel had to pay Orbitz a commission on the $105 as well. The trick to getting around the liars at Orbitz is to get the Orbitz price and then call the hotel and have them match it. The hotel gets more money and will usually do it. And your life will be a lot easier, dealing with the hotel directly.

Orbitz left me stranded without a hotel room
Posted by
CAIRO -- This is a story of literally getting stranded in the desert by Orbitz. I was outside Cairo when this happened.
After booking my travel through Orbitz, I added an extra night with the local hotel directly. They were happy to make the change, and asked me to confirm with Orbitz as there was an administrative hold up on the Orbitz side.
I spent 30 hours trying to contact Orbitz to make the change. Instead of listening to my problem, they asked me to cancel and rebook my entire itinerary. When I tried to do so, their systems showed the hotel as booked when the front desk insisted the hotel was not booked.
As a result, I did not have a place to stay during one night of my trip and had to consider unappealing choices such as sleeping in lobbies or other public places. I ended up paying directly in local currency to get a room at the hotel.
I have found Orbitz straightforward for domestic travel. But please do not trust them for international travel, as their local partners did not trust them either in my experience. Orbitz lacks the staff and communications infrastructure to support changes to international itineraries.

Oh.Brutha on 12/25/2008:
The hotel lied to you, and you suckered in. You were already at the hotel, and you decided to stay and extra day, and dealt directly with the hotel. So, tell us, when the hotel lied, and said that there was an administrative hold up by Orbitz, why did you believe that? How can Orbitz know you are making an arrangement with the hotel? The hotel lied to you. Orbitz doesn't own the hotel, the hotel loads what they have available onto the Orbitz website. They have rooms/inventory that they may not put on Orbitz. If the hotel wanted to book you a night directly, they could have done so, as they control their own inventory. You can't be that naive and be allowed to travel far from home without a keeper/sitter.

Thursday's Early Winners & Losers
Whole Foods (WFMI), purveyor of organic food, announced after the closing bell Wednesday that it will buy out like-minded Wild Oats Markets (OATS), propelling both stocks upward. Whole Foods will pay $18.50 a share for the Boulder, Colo., company, or about $565 million -- an ample premium to its $15.72 regular-session closing price.
Whole Foods posted income of $53.8 million, or 38 cents a share, in the period ended Jan. 14, down from last year's $58.3 million, or 40 cents a share. Same-store sales rose 7%, compared with a 13% climb the prior year, and total revenue grew 12% to $1.9 billion. Austin-based Whole Foods was trading up $2.23, or 4.9%, to $47.93. Wild Oats was surging $2.61, or 16.6%, to $18.33.
NCI (NCIT) bounded past fourth-quarter expectations, reporting profits of $3.1 million, or 23 cents a share, on $64.6 million in revenue. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial were seeking 19 cents a share on $58.6 million. The Reston, Va., company, which sells information-technology services to the federal government, guided to the higher end of first-quarter expectations -- 18 cents to 20 cents a share on $58 million to $62 million in revenue. Full-year income should range from 83 cents to 88 cents a share -- at least a nickel above the mean target. Shares were adding $2.12, or 15.3%, to $16.

UH MEPN 2012 - page 17
Is anyone looking at University of Hawaii's MEPN program for Fall 2012? I'm originally from Honolulu and would LOVE to go back and do this program. Especially since I would pay in-state tuition! :) I've looked over the lengthy... Read More
- 0Mar 22, '12 by lizzyp2004@DC275, I am indeed from the islands too. I am actually on the Big Island working at the University.
@NHmama, sorry to hear the result. I do wish you luck in your future endeavors.
I actually have yet to go home from work to see if I have received mail. @NHmama & DC275, you both are amazing for wanting to pursue higher education with little ones around. I give you much props!!!
In my case, I applied to very few schools due to the whole class expiration for mainland schools (5 years) or not having classes transfer or any recent experience in the health field (as I currently work in the Education field). I was not accepted to the school I really wanted to go to (Seattle U) and Manoa is the last school I am waiting to hear from. This will actually help me determine what my next steps are in terms of either attending manoa, or going back to community college to retake and take new courses to apply to more schools this upcoming application season and possibly look into more health occupation fields.
I really wish the best of luck to everyone and the continued support and guidance that everyone shares.
@DC275 and NHmama, do you both have back up plans considering that both of you only applied to UH Manoa? I think that ever since i turned in applications last Nov-Dec, coming up with a back up plan for myself has been extremely difficult.
- 0Mar 22, '12 by lizzyp2004Does anyone know how I can use the PM option on this site? I seem to be able to receive PMs but i'm unable to send any messages out? :0( What does it mean to have 15 successful posts?
- 0Mar 22, '12 by NHmamathanks for your reply and encouraging words @lizzyp2004.
i feel you on the back up plan. it was very very hard but something did come up for me which was casually confirmed today. nothing related to furthering my education but definitely something to help me in life experiences and something to hold me over until i apply again in October.
now i just can't stop wondering WHY i wasn't accepted. i'd like to apply again but it would be nice to know if i wasn't accepted due to something specific, so i can better determine if it its something in my control, or beyond my control.
again, wishing everyone all the luck possible at this point!
- 1Mar 22, '12 by DC275I don't have a back up plan so far as other schools. I will apply again next year if not accepted. @NHmama, it would be really nice to know why applications weren't accepted. After all, we put everything into the ones we did this year so it is impossible what to know needs altering or improvement for next year. I genuinely believe that there is a time and place for everything so if I don't get in this year, I will take it as I am supposed to be doing something else for now. @ lizzyp2004, thank you for your kind words. It will be more than a challenge for sure but well worth it in the end. Good luck to you!

Monster Abyss Exclusive Blog
TNA's Monster Abyss has officially joined the Spike.com blogging team with the MONSTER BLOG. Check out his first installment where you'll get insight from behind-the-scenes at Destination X, updates on his "girlfriend," and the latest therapy sessions with Dr. Stevie. You can catch the Abyss in action every week on TNA iMPACT, Thursdays at 9pm on Spike TV.
I bring this first installment of the MONSTER BLOG exclusively on Spike.com to you just a few days removed from TNA's Destination X Pay Per View. Oh wow, what an unbelievable evening of TNA action, although it didn't go too well for me. I enjoyed seeing my girlfriend Lauren and her soft, cuddly look and child-like smile. I even had a great talk with my therapist, Dr. Stevie. Dr. Stevie is not too happy with me right now....you see, he warned me and has rehabilitated me to not resort to the use of weapons or inflicting pain and suffering on myself or others. I just couldn't help it... Matt pushed and pushed me to the point that I snapped and became somebody that is not too pleasant to be around. He insulted and inappropriately put his hands on my best girl Lauren. This is unacceptable to yours truly. You see, Matt Morgan used my aggression as a weakness and he ran from me. I should never have followed him up that ramp Sunday night at Destination X. He was retreating and I just couldn't let it go... something inside me said, "Go and get your retribution and fill this guy with more holes than Alex Rodriquez's story." That's what I did, but one moment of indecisiveness cost me. I'm going to have to talk to Dr. Stevie about this. I'm sure we will have plenty of time to discuss this at my next therapy session. It should be a doozy.
Speaking of doozies, did you check out the last episode of Married With Children on Spike TV?? I like that Al guy and the little boy Bud reminds me of my reckless childhood years. Kelly is sooooo cute, but she is no match for my true girlfriend Lauren and besides that Kelly is a little on the "not so smart" side. Thank God that I have a smart and great looking girlfriend. I'm not sure what she sees in me, but I think she really likes me. She said maybe one day I can kiss her on the cheek. We will see. I'll keep you updated, folks.
What's The Monster Abyss up to? Well let me tell you... I'm preparing for TNA's annual Lockdown Pay Per View coming up in April live from the great city of Philadelphia, PA. It's retribution time, Matt. At Lockdown I'm going to do my best to destroy Matt Morgan once and for all. You see, this time, there's a 15-foot high steel cage surrounding the six sided ring. The marketing people at TNA appropriately have given Lockdown a nickname... the six sides of steel. I think that's a cool name... and it's a constant reminder to me (and I know it is for Matt Morgan too) that at Lockdown, there is NO where for Matt to run, hide, eat, sleep, write a letter, call his agent, grab a shower, or do anything else but face me in what promises to be the most brutal fight in either of our histories. I'm going to get you Matt, I'm going to get you. I'm so excited, I can't wait. Hey, I think I'll just put in the Midway TNA video game and start practicing now.

Pew: U.S. Voter Pessimism on New Middle East
Oct 22, 2012
The Pew Research Center conducted a poll on the U.S. public's views on the Middle East in early October. The public is increasingly pessimistic about regional developments following the Arab uprisings. In April 2011, 42 percent of Americans thought changes in leadership would "lead to lasting improvements for people" in countries like Egypt and Libya. But in October 2012, only 25 percent still believe there will be lasting improvements.The results were released prior to the final presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Overall the poll found little difference in opinion between Republicans, Democrats and Independents. The majority of Americans, 54 percent, say it is "more important to have stable governments in the Middle East, even if there is less democracy in the region."
Clinton Pledges Increased Support for Democratic Transitions
Oct 16, 2012
On October 12, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton declared that U.S. support for democratic transitions is a "strategic necessity" and not just "a matter of idealism." She discussed the status of North African political transitions at a conference hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Clinton pledged to increase engagement with the region, despite the outbreak of anti-American sentiment in September 2012. She urged Congress to approve an additional $770 million in assistance to countries that enact political and economic reforms.
Part I: Governments on Anti-Islam Film
Sep 28, 2012
The leaders of Islamist governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia have condemned attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates in reaction to the offensive "Innocence of Muslims" film. In public statements and private contacts with American officials, all three leaders assured the United States that the assaults did not reflect government policy or public opinion among the majority in their countries. Each of them blamed small groups of extremists.
Gallup: Libyans Want Militias Disarmed Immediately

Exorcizing the Islamic Ghost Haunting North Africa
Nov 29, 2011
The victory of moderate Islamist parties in parliamentary elections, first in Tunisia and now in Morocco, confirms the most significant change wrought so far by the Arab revolts of this past year-- their emergence into the mainstream of Arab politics as leading players. Whether these elections will exorcize the "Islamic ghost" haunting North Africa, Europe, and the United States remains to be seen, but initial signs are mostly promising.

If you're to believe the weather reports and the Polar Vortex chaos kicking off in America at the moment, the winter apocalypse is imminent. Which means that it's time to start preparing for your snow days.
The first skill that should be on everyone's list should be how to use an axe like a lumberjack.
Whether you're stocking up fire wood ahead of the deep freeze or chopping your way out of your frozen house, here's what you need to know, according to outdoor-loving tree surgeon Chris Pratt...
Axe skills
Any tree surgeon worth his timber knows how to chop a log. "Don't swing the axe over your shoulder, as it pulls you off balance," says Pratt. "Raise the axe directly up instead. If you're right-handed, put your left hand at the bottom of the axe and slide your right hand down as you chop." This is also helpful for maiming zombies.
Get on course
Knowing every word of Monty Python's Lumberjack Song doesn't mean you'll make a good tree surgeon. "Sign up for a course at college to learn all the right skills," says Pratt. "You'll learn everything from climbing to sawing."
Muscle up
If your arms are like twigs, Britain's trees will laugh in your face. "You don't need to be a great scientist, but you need decent physical strength to lift objects and pull up your bodyweight," says Pratt. "I work my arms, shoulders and back in the gym." Deadlifts, shoulder presses and chin-ups will get you cut.

"Social Networking is the bane of a Society. It replaces human touch with the touch of a keyboard and replaces human-human friendship with human-machine-machine-human friendship. Instead of bringing us together, it splits us further."
"Being truthful is economy of mind, for it saves the expense to remember the lie, make lie after lie and manage the false story."
"Of what good, is a truth that may harm someone and does no good to anyone? Of what bad, is a lie that surely does some good to someone and does no harm to anyone?"

Dressed up in masculine "drag" for the first time Octoberish '09. Meet Vinnie! I let my friends do my facial hair, just ended up looking Italian. Then I borrowed the red cap, looked like Mario :P. You can kind of see my hairy pits, some out-of-drag dudes complimented me on it :D. I hope to do some more drag soon!
