Few could have imagined the season turned out the way it did. The 76ers were supposed to be this, that and the other thing. What came to pass was the realization that this past summer was one of the uglier summers in NBA history.
Now the Sixers are a team left with holes larger than just the void in the middle cause by Andrew Bynum's knees. As I have mentioned ad nauseum, the 76ers are in a very bad place going forward with no clear path to anything.
After the jump, are some trade possibilities that can be a change for the better next year or the long run. The premise is to do all of these trades or none at all. Part 1 will be for the future, "Hello, 25% shot at Andrew Wiggins and the return of the Anti-Gravity Treadmill". Part 2 will assume the future is now
On last note, while the ESPN.com trade machine says the salaries don't work, once Jrue's $9.2 million salary kicks in, these trades would work.

The Outfield
Spinks and Lewis, now officially a duo, switched labels and began recording Diamond Days for MCA. A new session drummer, Simon Dawson, joined them and helped add an electronic edge to their sound. Diamond Days produced one of their biggest singles, "For You." They followed up with 1992's Rockeye. Its single, "Winning It All," became a feature at sporting events and was on the soundtrack of The Mighty Ducks. Simon Dawson had become increasingly involved in the shaping of the band's sound and became an official member of the band at this time. They went on hiatus for much of the mid-'90s, returning to record an exclusive release for their fan club, entitled It Ain't Over, then embarking on a kind of '80s revival tour. In 1998, they released Extra Innings, which was a compilation of several songs they wrote during the '90s, and also featured four new songs written in 1998. The band reunited in 2006 for the release of Any Time Now. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi

These ZEX Dodge Hemi truck nitrous systems are designed to safely add 75-125 hp to 2003 and later Dodge trucks with the Hemi engine. The late model Hemi electronic fuel injected engines are the perfect platform for nitrous upgrades. The systems have several unique features, including an inline-style fuel adapter that simply snaps into place. The Hemi trucks also have a relatively high base fuel pressure (58 psi), which requires a special jet selection that's included in the systems for perfect tuning. The ZEX Dodge Hemi truck nitrous systems are activated at wide-open throttle with advanced electronics that monitor your throttle position sensor. They include a nozzle with active fuel control built-in. This monitors bottle pressure and when the systems are engaged, it adds or subtracts enrichment fuel so that the engine never runs to rich or too lean.

Del. Rep. John Carney Backs Gay Marriage
By Don Rush
WASHINGTON (AP) - Delaware's lone congressman has announced his support for same-sex marriage.
Democrat John Carney announced his support for marriage equality Monday on his website. He said as a Catholic, he has tried to reach a balance between honoring the religious sacrament of marriage and letting same-sex couples to enjoy legal recognition.
Carney said he does not believe that it is right for the government to treat couples differently because of sexual orientation.
Same-sex civil unions are legal in Delaware. State lawmakers have not yet introduced a bill authorizing same-sex marriage, but plan to do so this year.

With General Motors Co. so far weathering a record-setting year of recalls with strong sales and a stable stock price, U.S. lawmakers are poised to refocus attention on the automaker's decade-long mishandling of the original ignition-switch flaw that led to hearings in Congress.
Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co., Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. delivered more vehicles in the U.S. than analysts estimated as auto demand climbed to the highest of the year.
President Barack Obama has put $5 billion in taxpayer money behind his goal of having 1 million electric cars on U.S. roads by 2015. The Republican presidential ticket says it's money wasted on "losers."
U.S. automobile sales in November may almost match the fastest pace this year as demand for domestic manufacturers' trucks and sport-utility vehicles rose.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board describes mobile-phone use in cars as a public- health epidemic on the scale of smoking or drunk driving. Analysts said it may be too ingrained to stop.
Nissan Motor Co.'s struggle to move ahead of Honda Motor Co. in the U.S. hangs on the new Altima being shown today in New York. It's designed to boost the sedan's appeal after it passed Accord in 2011 to become the No. 2-selling car.
"Lexus is strong in one of the summer months, then in December."

Gary Houseman (Scott) is an overenthusiastic high school janitor who steps-up to lead the school's loser tennis team to the state finals when the acting coach drops dead. The brash and often insulting new coach is intent on inspiring these underdogs not only to win, but also to stand-up for themselves. Although his coaching tactics may be unorthodox, including motivating his star player with a pre-game stripper, his heart is in the right place. Besides, sometimes it takes guts to play hard-ball.

Depending on where you live, you've probably already experienced some cold nights this season. But what's cold enough to threaten your home for frozen pipes?
In general, you should be thinking about your pipes freezing when the temperature drops to 20 degrees or below. However, there are some variables to consider.
Homes that are built for colder weather, in the northern part of the country, for example, might have insulation that will prevent pipes from freezing even in 20 degree weather. Homes in the southern region, that might not be built for freezing temperatures, could suffer from frozen pipes at temperatures warmer than 20 degrees.
No matter where you live, pipes that are exposed to the elements, say outside or located in an un-insulated attic or basement could also freeze at higher temperatures. Wind also plays a factor, since the temperature could be one number, but the wind chill creates another, lower number which could affect your pipes.
The best way to prevent your pipes from freezing and eventually lead to cracking or bursting is to insulate them. This could be in the form of insulating the room they are in (the attic or the basement), protecting the pipe itself with a sleeve, or keeping your house a little warmer.
If you're leaving your house for an extended period of time, leave the temperature in your house warm enough to protect the pipes. Another prevention method is to drain the water system so there is no water in the pipes that could freeze. Do this by turning off the main valve and turning on all of the faucets in your home until there is no water coming out.
If you have pipes in unprotected areas, let the faucets for those pipes drip, making sure that the hot and cold are turned on. While the water inside these pipes might still freeze, the drip allows any built-up pressure in the pipe to be relieved.

So, hereâs a rundown to show how are jelly beans made âMeans to make jelly beans
For making jelly beans, the things that are required include natural flavors, coloring agents, sugar, corn syrup, anti-foaming elements and molding tray.
Jelly beans making procedure
Flavor selection
In the industrial level, jelly beans are made following a certain procedure. The first step is to determine the flavor of a unique jelly bean for which some experiments with new chemicals and flavors are conducted. Once the flavors are approved and test marketed, they then finally reach the open market.
Preparation of jelly beans
· For making jelly beans, corn syrup, anti foaming elements like wax, coloring agents, flavors and other ingredients are mixed in a vat. Then the mixture is boiled till the syrup reaches the right consistency.
· Then the syrup is passed through pipes and carried to the casting area where cornstarch coated casting trays await the syrup. These trays have molds for giving shapes to the jelly beans. Usually, there are some 1200 molds per casting tray.
· The syrup is then poured in the molds and cooled overnight. The raw jelly beans are then steamed for removing the cornstarch.
· In the next step, the jelly beans are coated with sugar and kept for up to 2 days. Then they are processed to harden up their shells and are polished for a glossy look.

They not only delivered everything 10,000% (NO that is NOT a typo) they made sure that no matter what we requested to have changed , they did IMMEDIATELY with no questions asked! Nor asked for one penny more!!! Which has resulted in a bonus from us to them!....Absolutely Amazing!!! Way to go team!!! And we thank each of you for all your hard work from the bottom of our hearts!
Feedback : We spent 3 months developing our Magento cart with a provider who left our site in shambles. The code was incomplete, containing numerous programming errors and glitches, and we lost a lot of money in the process. We hired Unicode Systems to fix the original programmer's mess, not an easy task by any means. Unicode took immediate control over the project and delivered a very nice, refined Magento site in record time at a very reasonable and competitive rate. I was very impressed with the results, their knowledge of Magento and cms is superior to other providers we've dealt with. Unicode has also done graphic design work for us and delivered as expected. Communication is prompt, as is the level of service. Needless to say, we've retained Unicode as our site admin for the past year with full trust. I can say from experience, save yourself the time, money, and hassle dealing with other companies and freelancers. Amit and his team of developers are true professionals who actually enjoy their work and know what they're doing.
Feedback : They made my website repairs before the expected date. They are professional, understanding, fast, knowledgeable, patient with my website ignorance and were extremely kind. It is hard to find someone that has both a work ethic and talent, but also a heart. They truly want you to be proud of their work and when you smile, they smiles. I will recommend Unicode Systems to anyone who comments on my website or anyone looking for a web designer that can get the job done right. I will search them out for my future web design updates and/or website needs. You will be very happy that you hired Unicode Systems.

Time Out says
Posted: Fri Jan 11 2013
The organizers of this monthly event are out to prove that learning can be fun, and that everyone has something to teach. To make their case, they bring in beer (instant party!) and invite regular folks to expound on whatever topic they choose. Think of it as an intellectual skill share, where you can walk away with valuable knowledge like why the world needs the Spice Girls and whether love is more addictive than cocaine. Ideas aren't the only thing to be swapped; dig into a communal potluck dinner—bring a dish; don't be that guy. Go to presentationpartynight.com for the upcoming schedule.

First Looks

Waiting...still waiting...waiting some more!
Posted on
FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO -- I have an issue with a particular location in Farmington, NM. They are located at 3554 E. Main Street. I went to buy my daughter a new cellphone and a rate/plan. I walked in and was told to sign-in. There was at least 8-10 other names. I figured I'd be in for a little bit of a wait to say the least. Kind of reminded me of signing in to get my hair cut. So I waited, and waited, and waited some more. At this point, I've invested 1-hr & 15-minutes, and I was reaching my breaking point. Some have greater thresholds for pain, but this is where mine starts to taper off. What irritated me the most, was the fact that not all of the agents were busy. Some were just standing next to their monitors/desks and chit-chatting amongst each other.
So I decide to get a little cute and call the store itself, knowing full well that there were at least 4-5 unoccupied employees to answer my call. I dialed and it rang, and rang, and rang some more. Nothing. No one would bother to pick up the phone. I called the corporate 800 number and they said they'd log the complaint. Yeah, and store it with the other 465,000 complaints stuffed away in some dusty warehouse of imaginary complaints. Good luck with that angle! So I walk towards the back and attempt to open what looks like a backroom door/breakroom. An employee rushes up to me and informs me that I cannot go in there. I said, "And if I do"? She tells me that she'll have to get the manager. I said, "Great, that's who I want to talk to anyway"!
A few minutes later a manager appears and asks what the problem is. I tell him that I've been waiting in line for over an hour, and haven't even been asked how I can be helped. I then explained the lack of people answering the phones, at which time he accused me of over-exaggerating. I dialed the store # in front of his presence, and it rang, and rang, and rang some more. He walked over to one of his associates and asked why they weren't answering the phone. They just kind of shrugged and mumbled something to the effect that they thought someone else was going to answer it.
The manager apologized for the behavior of his workers, but not for accusing me of embellishing the facts. I said thanks for talking to your workers, but after everything I've went through, I think I'll take my money and my business elsewhere. Commission lost...

Alltel Family Finder service by WaveMarket
Posted by
This problem started over a month ago. After verifying with Alltel that a spare KRZR phone was compatible with the Alltel Family Finder service, I activated the phone for my 11 year old. The application would not download and trouble tickets were opened. To date, no response from those trouble tickets has been received. After a couple of weeks the local Alltel manager suggested the best solution was to buy a new phone with a new contract. I downloaded the application while in the store. Now, the Alltel Family Finder website gives an error message stating it doesn't recognize my phone number or Alltel account number. More trouble tickets are opened and escalated.
I discovered using google that a California company named WaveMarket is the third party responsible for the Alltel Family Finder application.
I've attempted to use WaveMarket's help forum but have not received a reply. The forum appears to be abandoned and is littered with spam messages for various drugs.
I've followed up with Alltel several times but they claim there is nothing more they can do until WaveMarket's Alltel Family Finder engineers answer the trouble tickets.
The WaveMarket website lists the corporate officers. The WaveMarket CEO has a Facebook account found through google. He replied promptly and has passed my contact information to someone within the company.
EDIT/UPDATE: I did hear back from WaveMarket as promised. They are aware that the KRZR is not compatible with this service and should be removed from the compatible list. They are also aware that some Alltel Family Finder customers are not able to register for the service. As Alltel has been bought and sold again, it will not likely be fixed for these customers.
Happy with WaveMarket's response but Alltel is a lost cause with its customers in limbo until AT&T or Verizon pick them up.

Overcharging /poor customer service
Posted by
After years of service with Alltel and the past couple of years not happy ones we are planning to move over to AT&T. We have been overcharged for our service for over a year that we know of and we are looking into all the past bills. A little over a month ago we upgraded to 3 smart phones (we have 7 lines one is a internet card). When we got the smart phones we were informed that the bill would be lower thatn what we were paying, oh yea, this is when we found out that the air card was less a month than I had been paying. After a couple of hrs trying to get the account set up correct we left thinking wow that is great. The bill was less than it had been in a while. That is until the bill came in TWICE as much as it had been. So, I take the bill to the Alltel store and wait a couple of hrs and finally the representative was really nice and about a hr. or so later she had the bill all straight (or so we thought)I came home with instrustion to bring my payment in to the office so that it would be entered into the system correctly. Tis we did and everything was OK. A week later I receive another bill. Itook this to the store and again waited acoupel of hrs to get this fixed. Everything was supposed to be fixed again and I paid the bill while I was there. Aweek later my phone is shut off. I called customer service again and they tell me that all that money has been applied to three of the lines and that I have a credit but I would have to pay the amount due which is what the entire bill is supposed to be before service will be back on. So, again I call the store and talk to the representative who has been helping me all along, she goes to her suppervisor and in lesss than 30min my phone is back on. Then last night my phone got cut off again. Why can't these people get this right? They expect me to come up with another payment and let them credit my account with the exter money. Iwork hard for my money I can not afFord to just let them hold my money. I have placed a call to the store an I am wating for a return.

Alltel Fiends
Posted by
In April our daughters cellphone was lost/stolen at her Prom. We tried calling Alltel, there was nothing in the voice menu about lost/stolen phones and their 'customer service' was closed at that time of night. After looking on the internet, I called the Alltel phone insurance number and filed a claim. During the call I asked several times if the phone can be disabled so no one could use it, activate it, or run any unusual charges on it. I was assured several times that would be the case. Several days later we received the replacement phone. When the May bill came out it was over three times what it should have been and had a lot of extra charges on it (GPS and ringtones). We called Alltel and were told these charges began the day after we had been assured by Alltel personnel that it wouldn't be possible.
We were told by the CSR (customer service rep) that she couldn't do anything about it only a supervisor. I called back and after a heated discussion (we didn't understand why we should have to pay when they could access the tape of the call to their incompetent or untruthful insurance person) she agreed to reverse the charges. She gave us a corrected balance to be paid which was still a little high but we were tired of having to explain and ask everything at least three times because of the mix of their personnel's language issues (all our calls except one went to people with English as a distant second-at best-language) or denseness.
I paid the balance given. Today, a couple weeks later, our service is suspended because of the excessive unpaid balance. Morals of the story
1) Alltel's personnel seem to be perfectly comfortable lying and giving false, bad, and misleading information. Apparently whatever it takes to get you off the phone NOTHING TO DO WITH DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM.
2) It seems as though Alltel's call center is either located in a country and staffed with people with poor English skills or just staffed with people with poor English skills. Bad news.
3) The customer service and business practices of Alltel is so horrid that you should not use their service even if it were the only game in town!!! Just imagine how thrilled my wife is that I talked her into switching from AT&T (bad phone service but great customer service) to Alltel with their nightmare customer service!

Customer Service? - Not
Posted by
MIDLAND, TEXAS -- I have been a customer of Alltel Wireless beginning in late 2000 under the Cellular One Co, which was taken over by Alltel. They have now been taken over by Verizon. Through my entire history with the company, I have never been late with a payment as it was set up from the beginning as an auto pay account. I have stuck to my plan minutes and never had over charges or complaints. In short, I have been an easy customer to have on their list. In late March, 2009, the company texted me that my plan minutes had been way overused. They then called me offering a larger plan. On explaining to first one person on the phone then another, I went to the local office to straighten out the problem. March 20, 2009, I dealt with an associate at the local store who added a supplemental plan, at a cost, to my bill to handle overused data minutes and told me he couldn't do anything else until I had my bill. I never received a bill.
April 17, they charged my account $392 more than my usual bill. I went back to the local office and was told there wasn't a supervisor present, the associate couldn't do anything but issue a credit which would take several days to weeks to reach me. I don't know about you but I don't have that kind of money just lying around. I have talked to several people at the local office and by phone and have received nothing but run-around from all of them. A wireless company set up to take money from my account wirelessly will snail mail a refund when they get around to tending to that minor detail! Needless to say, I am not a satisfied customer nor will I be a customer one minute after my "contract" finishes. I wanted to send an email to the company about this treatment and what I intend to do.
Low and behold, there is no such thing as contact information on their website. When the "Contact Us" button is clicked, you are routed to a log-in screen. OK fine, I logged in again and clicked the contact button again. Guess what, I was routed to the log-in screen. Totally unacceptable customer service!

Good luck gettting your issue with Alltel taken care of. I transferred my service from Texas to Ohio in 2007. They failed to shut off my Texas lines,(not my fault, theirs for not shutting Tx. numbers of when I transferred)they tried to bill me almost 400.00 for Texas lines reported me to the credit buruea,and to years later I am still fighting them. I have reported them to the BBB as has many people in Ohio. They said they would reemburse my my deposit within 10 to 15 days and I am still waiting for that. I've been in contact with Verizon over this matter and at this time they can not access my records because they have not taken over this area yet. Even they people I've talked to in the corporate office will lie to you about what they are going to do. My husband I are thing of taking them to small claims court as a last resort. Good Luck in trying to get your problem solved.

The Entire Remaining Balance On My Pre-Paid Account Was Confiscated!
Posted by
Toni I.
BOCA RATON, FLORIDA -- I have been an Alltel pre-paid wireless customer since November 2008, and after checking the balance on my account the other day, I noticed that the entire remaining balance of $27.15 was missing from my account.
After calling Alltel customer service and waiting on hold for almost 20 minutes, I was told by a customer service representative that Alltel had "confiscated" my remaining balance because that I had what they considered to be "excessive use of roaming". It seems that I live just outside of an Alltel cell tower, and whenever I make or receive calls at my home, I am using another carrier's cell tower, and therefore considered to be "roaming"!
Since I was assured that my home was in Alltel's home service area when I established service, I asked that the amount that was "confiscated" be credited back into my account, but they told me that they couldn't do that. I then asked them to refund the amount in the form of a paper check, and they said that they couldn't do that either... It seems that the "confiscated" funds have been forfeited, and I will not be receiving one dime back from Alltel! They told me that if I want to continue to use my Alltel pre-paid wireless service in the future, I will have to deposit more money into my account with no guarantee that this money won't also be "confiscated"! Does Alltell Wireless think that I'm an idiot? NO WAY AM I GOING TO DEPOSIT ANY MORE MONEY INTO THIS ACCOUNT!
I intend on porting my cell phone number to another wireless carrier so I can keep my number while ending my relationship with these deceitful thieves. I will also write a letter to the head honcho at Alltel Wireless detailing my recent experiences, and if they still refuse to give me my money back, I will file a case in my local small claims court.
I'd like to advise anyone contemplating becoming a customer of this company to heed my advice:

Customer Service Or Screw Anyone You Can?
Posted by
OMAHA, NEBRASKA -- Only thing that comes to mind when I think of Alltel is negative things. They are the worst company I have ever had the misfortune dealing with. I have had to trade out my defective Samsung hue about 5 times now. I go into the Alltel store at least once a week to try to get a new phone. The representative don't care about me or my problems, as long as they save themselves some money.
I first signed a 2 year contract with Alltel, and didn't have a single problem with them. But once I was going to sign another 2 year contract is when I ran into major problems.
I signed the 2 year contract and got the Samsung hue. I first had to trade it out because I could not hear anyone, but I was told there was too much "physical damage" on the phone to replace it under warranty. So I paid 100.00 To get the same model of phone.
Then the next 4 phones all pretty much do the same thing. The outside screen doesn't show up half the time. Phone power cycles constantly by itself. Phone is laggy and slow and sucks.
The newest hue I have which I activated yesterday has a big white mark on the inside screen and a white dot, and on half the outside screen is way dimmer than the other half, which is obviously a defect. When I went in to trade it once again. The manager said he "could not see it".
He then accused me of "trying to pull a fast one, to get a new phone".
Outraged as you could imagine.
So I simply asked if he just wanted me to wait until I ran into bigger problems with the phone, and he said yes "as long as we can re-produce the problem here in the store".
I said "okay I will see you soon", and he replied with a smart ass attitude "I hope not, I hope this phone works great for you".
Uhh...The phone is already defective 2 hours after I received it.
Bottom line! Stay away from this company, you will hate it. The customer service is not there!
They do not care about you, or your problems.

Maybe the other problem is with the phone! Why not try a different phone. You get 30 days to exchange it when you sign your contract, or was that the free or cheap phone???

Horrible Customer Service!
Posted by
54937, WISCONSIN -- I have been with Alltel for 5 years now. I do have to say I had no issues with them until this past year. I purchased a Motorola Smart Q Oct. 3rd of 07. Signed a new 2 yr contract. Within one month of having this new phone, I started to experience nothing but problems. The phone would lock up, needed to take the battery out to reset the phone. Texting would stay all caps and I could not delete anything just keep texting. The phone would get stuck on dialing and never connect. I couldn't end the call either.
Again, needed to take battery out to reset. My screen would white out completely, again, reset. Oh, and the dropped calls!!! I have never had so many! Even in the city, not in "dead zones" where it doesn't matter who your carrier is there just isn't reception. I took my phone in after it completely died and would not turn on. It was under the one year manufacturer warranty. I sent the old one in and had the refurbished one sent to me in a couple of days.
Not bad, but of course it's not a new phone, so there's the problem. I am now on my 4th phone in one year. They told me if this one has problems, they would replace with a brand new phone. Needless to say, I have been having all the same issues as in the past. I went down and they made me call technical support and see if that would take care of the problem. Hello! Nothing is going to fix these phones! So I did what I had to. They said if that didn't fix the problems, I would receive a new phone. Well it didn't fix it and my phone was in my pocket and a pressure point occurred on the display (a little black spot) They said it was now an insurance claim and I need to pay for a new phone!!! After 4 phones! Alltel sucks!!
I will NEVER AGAIN go with Alltel! I have one year left on my contract. I will pay the $200 termination fee and go somewhere where the help actually helps you! Not rip you off!

I agree that the problems are frustrating. That phone had those types of problems from the beginning and Motorola tried to fix it with a software fix that seemed to help some but not all problems. But no matter what the problems with the phone whether it was the 1st phone or the 4th phone, the damage on the screen was caused by you and is not covered under any type of warranty no matter what carrier you are with. Your only choice is an insurance claim.

A "painful" Customer Service Experience at AllTel
Posted by
OHIO -- I would like to report to you the most unsatisfactory help line experience I have ever had:
Today (Sept. 15 2007, 10:30-11:20am, Sat.), I called your customer service line 1800-255-8351, which connected me to someone in India:
1) I waited for more than 20 minutes to get one who answered my phone call;
2) The lady on the line was not knowledgeable and helpful: she told me that the account number was my cell phone number. -- I told her that it was wrong. She said "yes"
3) Then, I said "now please go to www.alltel.com", click on "Register now" link on the home page;
4) then I showed her that on the AllTel website, the account number and cell phone number were different - it was like that I needed to teach her on AllTel website and operation, rather than her to provide help service to me, a Alltel customer;
5) then she said "hold the line" please, and disappeared and held me online for more than 5 minutes;
6) after she came back (maybe asking help from her friends there?), she said "OK, please use your phone number and PIN I give you now to log in". - she gave the PIN: 1279
7) I followed up her instruction to log in using my cell phone number and PIN, and tried 3 times, but rejected by the AllTecl website. So I told her that I tried it according to her instruction 3 times, but failed.
8) She became inpatient and said "Sir, can you keep trying according to my instruction?" (it sounds like "you are so stupid, even cannot key in your cell phone number and PIN number correctly!")
9) I was afraid now, so I asked and tried to get the confirmation from her: "is your given PIN the same as the Password that was asked by the AllTel website?". She replied "of course, it's the same!" (she used her term PIN to replace AllTel's term "Password" to confuse customer, but she put the blame to customer, "are you so stupid not to know this common knowledge?!").
10) I was so nervous (and also felt in my mind that I was so stupid like many ordinary and kind American customers would think), and carefully followed up her instruction to key in my cell phone number and PIN (must be PIN according to her, AllTel was wrong to call it "password") she gave me, but the website rejected me again - I kept trying it for other 5 times, and again all failed.
11) Then she said "at least I got it through when I tried it" (if I would have the privilege as a system administer as her, I can surely access to any account as well!). Then she said "OK, please hold the online and I'll connect you to our technical help line!"
12) after about 30 minutes, she received my help to teach her the difference between Alltel account number and Alltel cell phone number, and she "successfully put a blame" on me not to know that PIN and password were actually the same thing (only Alltel used password to confuse customer and she used the right one "PIN" to show her rich knowledge to use the right term), and she "forcefully" asked me to try keying in my cell phone number and PIN (or password?) for more than 8 times (my typing sill has been improved substantially as a result, thanks to her, an excellent Alltel Call Center helper!)..., she finally gave up to help me (because a customer like me, so stupid and knowing little about so advanced IT technology like ordinary stupid American customers do - ironically my job is to teach IT for living in US! I felt so shameful that I knew so little when I talked with a young Call center lady who appeared to know so much more!), and wanted to connect me to the technical service line.
12) What a relief to me - at least I have a new chance not to be considered "a stupid customer"! Maybe I could have a chance to report this unusual customer service (or a better name for it to be "customer torturing") experience to AllTel, so other "stupid American customers" like me may not have to experience it again next time.
13) the service line rang for about one minute with beautiful music for me to enjoy (unfortunately, I felt so shamed and guilty myself, no mood to enjoy such superb and high class music provided free by AllTel).
14) Suddenly, the line was cut off and left me with all deadly silence - I was really silenced totally ... I didn't have another chance to talk with another service person of AllTel (maybe she/he will a really good and qualified person providing quality customer service and I could provide feedback to her/him), but no chance was given, unless I wanted to spend another more than 50 minutes to call Alltel customer service helpline again? Will you? ... I won't!
15) So I decided to spend time to report this most unusual customer service experience in my while life to the public, so other "stupid American customers" like me may not have to experience it again next time.

000000, MISSOURI -- I have recently looked online for some of the Consumer Reports about Alltel. I have worked for Alltel for about 8 months and wanted to see what exactly everyone thought about us around the US. I deal with people on the phone all day and I work in the sales department for Alltel. I talk to around 100 customer a day giving the kind of day I am having.
I am actually very confused by some of the things people are writing in their "3 cents". I work for Alltel....Alltel is a business....they are out to make money like every other business in the world, so why if it that people bad mouth us for doing just that. I think Alltel is a great company to work for and has their mind set on the customers. Now do you run into a customer service rep who doesn't know what they are talking about...of course! Do you run into a sales rep that might have given wrong information to you....of course! We are all humans and make mistakes. And by all means we try to correct them as best we can. Alltel, like any other company, has rules and policies in place for their employees so they are on the same page during all calls and you don't receive different information from different people. I am not saying our training is perfect, that depends on the rep you get on the other line, but I will say we are ALL trained very well and take our jobs very seriously. I have not worked for Alltel very long but it hurts me to see so many people talking about how bad we are.
As far as some of the complaints when it comes to my circle....yes you do have to be on a rate plan $59.99 or higher to get it, but does it stop you from using ALL your anytime minutes and lets you call ANYONE on that list for free regardless the network...YES! So how do you expect to call grandma and grandpa on Verizons network during the day without using your minutes? I think its a great idea and a lot of people are coming to Alltel to just get that promotion.
Some of you complain about all the rate plans we have and there is a new one every week. OK so if you didn't have as many choices you know you would complain about that. NOT every ones talking habits are the same so we want as many options as possible.
I also think half of you are liars! Some of the things you say that the Alltel reps tell you I don't think would ever happen! Unless you are blatantly lied to, I don't see someone just making information up to get money off of you for the good of the company. I love Alltel and I think they are the BEST cell phone company out there right now, but to say they lie to you straight up, I don't see that happening. If they did lie to you, they won't have their job very long because Alltel is all about the customers and it pains me to see that so many people dislike the service.
About our phones/pricing/2 year agreements....NO matter where you go, you will sign some type of agreement for a new phone unless you are on a prepaid service to get a discount. And the price of that phone is made up by you staying with the company that long. Remember, Alltel is a business and trying to make money just like you are!
As far as the FCC making it mandatory for all the phones to be E911 compliant....how is that a complain!?!?!?! All that means is that when you call 911 from your home phone, because that phone is linked to an address, they can find you. Wireless is just that, wireless, so how can 911 find you if you are in a cornfield out in the middle of no where. The phones have to be E911 compliant meaning if you call 911, they can find you within a small specific radius rather than driving all over the place and getting there when its too late. It's for your safety and I think its a great thing they are trying to do. Alltel offers discounts to people who need the new compliant phones so why the worries. Do you want to send off your kids without an E911 comliant phones!?!? I didn't think SO!
As many complaints as I have read about Alltel, I can still read so many more about the other carriers. We have so many things about Alltel that no other carrier can touch.
Anytime rate plan changes (backdated if need be), the latest and coolest phones, great customer service and knowledgeable staff, supervisors and managers that truly care about the customer and a CEO that will do anything for the sake of a customer.
Like I said, Alltel is a business and they are trying to stay afloat just like any other business. I do hope you really reconsider Alltel service after reading this and I truly hope you get me on the phone, that way I can make sure you are getting the best service Alltel can offer you and you can really see what a great company they are.

I hear you. Anyone who has worked a few months as a CSR has heard it all. Naturally a CSR gets numb to customer complaints really fast. Of course there are many CSRs who don't give a hoot because they don't care. Just read the script and when the caller is ticked off then starts yelling you hang up. The OP here seems like one who may actually care and has probably gotten good service training.
Anonymous on 08/25/2007:
Klynn--Thanks for the informative post. It is refreshing to see that there are CSR's that care about their job. There will always be complaints with every large company so I wouldn't take it too personally. Keep up the the good work!
Anonymous on 08/25/2007:
Klynn, I agree with what dianec said and will only say keep up the good work, good review! Thanks
Klynn on 08/25/2007:
Thanks for the comments guys! It doesn't upset me that there are bad commments about Alltel necessarily because I know there are going to be comments no matter what, its just the fact that most of the commenties exaggerate how bad they might have been treated or how bad their situation might have been. I am not saying they are for sure lying. Yeah, all companies have some bad employees but Alltel cleans house rather frequently trying to keep it the best of the best. I love my job and I care about it a lot. Even my customers. I never want to become numb to customer compaints because I look at it as I am also an Alltel customer and how would I want to be treated when I call into a national call center. I deserve respect just as much as the customer does! Remember, we are there to help, but if you make it impossible to make you happy, there isn't much we can do about it!
Thanks for the posts and keep them coming. I don't even mind the negative ones. If you have any questions about Alltel service or had a bad experience and never got an explanation, hit me up! Tell me how I can help.....
Qmaster101 on 08/27/2007:
Now wait just a minute!
Alltel employees are human... human nature (especially if the rep is in a bad mood) is to get the mad, mad client off the phone.
I have had many experiences like these with Alltel, but I took the time to call and ask for a manager...
Yes, Alltel does care, but just as you are calling most of the complainers on here liars, your human nature has kicked in.
You should appologize for that!
By the way, the only real complaint I have about Alltel is that they won't provide me with support if I want to customize my phone myself. Instead, they want me to pay to download ringtones, wallpaper, etc...
Even though the salesman told me that it was sooo easy to do it myself - - and then he couldn't even tell me how.
I think I'm paying enough for the phone service...
If I didn't mind paying $1-5 for a ringtone, that would be fine. But paying for something I can make myself in under a minute is ridiculous. So why won't Alltel help me?
No help just because I don't want to pay for download services? That sucks, and tells that Alltel cares about the money only.
Klynn on 08/31/2007:
I am not saying all complainers are liars. I am saying some people exaggerate and some don't! Most I would say are actually that upset and need taken care of right away. The only thing that is bad is when they call and totally blow up on me when I am only there to help them. I know there are reps out there that suck and they lie and they only want to be rude I just wanted to let every body know that there are reps out there that care and if they get me on the phone I hope to portray that. and as for helping you with the ringtones and making your own, Alltel doesn't lose any money because you don't download ringtones. they make money off the application being on your phone whether you download something or not. and besides we have an agreement with the ringtones companies I am sure becase we sell there apps. I am not tech savvy, you can ask how to do it and I would know where to begin so I am not sure why the tech reps won't help. I am sure there not allowed
omo on 09/26/2007:
I read it. Didn't change my mind about posting my complaint. Do you really think it's OK for Alltel to bill for something and not provide the info to back up the charge??? And then to lie and say it is illegal to give me the info? And lie again and say they don't have access to the info?
joneje4 on 01/01/2008:
Its funny to read the reviews on the message boards about how Alltel, Verizon, Sprint, etc. rip people off by charging them a $200 early disconnection fee for canceling there service for whatever reason. The fact is when people walk into a wireless store to buy a SERVICE AND A PHONE TO USE THAT SERVICE, they usually want the cheapest phone they can get.
SURPRISE!!! you usually get what you pay for. And when you get that free phone where do ya think it comes from? Do ya think the company giving ya that phone got it for free? NO!!!!! They have to pay for it!!! Have you ever noticed the full retail price on the phone? Look next time. The price you see will probably be around $150 and up. Guess what people, that's what they pay for it!!!! The $200 e.t.f. covers the loss on the equiptment that they gave ya for free. The job of a wireless consultant is to answer your questions for you and not to spend an entire day trying to figure out where you son goes to school, or your wife travels to for quilting conventions. If you have a problem with you bill, roaming, poor service where ya go hunting, or what ever the case may be its a 99.9% chance that its caused by user error and from not educating yourself and getting the right plan to fit your needs. The best advice I can give anybidy is to never, I repeat never buy from an authorized dealer! The people there work for low wages and honestly don't care because that have nothing vested in the company. Always buy from a corporate store. And the next time you get mad at your wireless provider for the $300 bill ya got for text messageing, ask yourself why ya didn't just add the $10 messageing package.

Sheffield Cathedral Media Release: Occupy Sheffield
The Dean and Chapter of Sheffield Cathedral issued a final appeal to those occupying Sheffield Cathedral's churchyard to vacate the site and clear their tents within a week so that the area couldbe restored to full public use, and the work of the Cathedral continue unimpeded.
Protestors from Occupy Sheffield had been camping on Sheffield Cathedral's churchyard since 5 November 2011. Although the protestors never had the Cathedral's permission to be there, and had been repeatedly asked to leave, the Cathedral acted generously towards the protest, seeking to hear, along with ecumenical partners, the issues which were being raised.
Reflecting on the Occupy movement's aims, the Dean of Sheffield, the Very Revd Peter Bradley, said:
"This protest, globally and locally, has brought to wider attention issues of justice, poverty, and inequality, issues which have always concerned us at Sheffield Cathedral.
It has challenged society to think more deeply about how we manage our financial systems, and how we care for those who are vulnerable.
Sheffield Cathedral, in partnership with the Cathedral Archer Project, which works with the homeless and vulnerable in Sheffield, will continue responding to that challenge in the coming months.
However, the presence of Occupy Sheffield in the churchyard has caused disruption to Cathedral's work.
Services have been interrupted, staff time has been taken up with ensuring public safety on the forecourt, bookings for school visits and for our conference facilities have declined.
As a small organization which receives no government funding and which supports its own charitable work through the Cathedral Archer Project, Sheffield Cathedral cannot afford this continuing drain on its resources."
The protestors expressed their intention to continue their protest through 2012, raising concerns that their presence would interfere with the Cathedral's imminent development programme. The Gateway Project, which includes a new entrance, heating, flooring seating, lighting, and a visitor interpretation scheme, will require full access to the forecourt by building contactors for preparatory work.

Cramer: Why Own Lehman?
That game is over. But the people are still there, as is the overhead. Without this stuff, I don't know how you make a lot of money at an investment firm, particularly when you have decided to shrink your balance sheet and make fewer loans. Some can get away with it: Bank of America (BAC), for instance, because it has a deposit base (same reason Wachovia (WB) is worth something, but I don't want to own it, either), doesn't need to rely on structured products to make some money.
LEH? I just don't see how they can deliver $5-6 earnings power anymore. Worse, I can't even figure out what they could earn in this environment. The franchise isn't too dicey, just the earnings estimates.
I have so many companies that are delivering consistent, good numbers, why do I need a company that has a fraction of the earnings power that it used to have?
No, I don't want to own Lehman.Random musings: Doug Kass, a major topic of last night's investment shindig because of his bullish call on the banks, is growing even more bullish on the group. I simply DO NOT share that cause! At the time of publication, Cramer had no positions in the stocks mentioned.

The Westin Buckhead Atlanta Hotel
Rooms: 365
Reviews - The Westin Buckhead Atlanta Hotel
- Age Group: 31 - 40
- From: United States
- Traveller type: Young & Single
I paid 495.00 a night for 2 nights. You would figure for that kind of money you would get a pretty nice room right? Wrong! Small, cramped and if you even look at the mini bar they charge you for stuff you didn't use. The hotels only saving grace is it's location next to the Lenox Mall which is really nice. The complementary Cadallic Escalade will take you anywhere you want within 3 miles of the hotel but the hotel will cost you far too much for too little. My advice checkout the cheaper hotels in the area because your room will look about the same minus the expensive minibar!

Historical Traveller Reviews of The Westin Buckhead Atlanta Hotel
surprised by reception attitudefrom The_Patient_English
All very confidence inspiring. He then sent me up to a room that smelled of smoke and had two ashtrays in it. When I returned to reception to explain there'd been a mistake he angrily replied "Well the hotel's very full tonight."
This response astonished me. I stay in hotels about two nights a week. I conduct and observe focus groups which usually happen in the evenings so I often check in late and get the 'problem' room and the sleepy night staff but I usually get at least a cursory "I'm sorry sir", before they explain the overbooking problem. Significantly the two other receptionists immediately made themselves scarce. In my experience this is the acid test of a hotel's service culture. Good hotel staff when they realise they have made a mistake try to sort the problem. Great hotel staff even relish the challenge. Poor hotels (including most 'hip' hotels which this one aspires to be) try to avoid dealing with it.
After lots of angry typing the guy then found me another room and said if I didn't like that one either (excuse me?) there was nothing else he could do. It was a perfectly good room so he didn't need to panic. The bed was nice and snuggly, location excellent, and the fitness centre was good but I'd be wary of returning.
super!from sonblay
Above Starwood Standardsfrom FLSMARK
It always entertains me to see those "unfrequent" travelers nit picking about every detail. (see review before mine) They expect hotels to lick their toes if they are spending over $150/night.
I highly reccomend the Westin Buckhead.
We had some serious problems here.from hollinsgirl
1. When we checked in, we were put in a smoking room instead of a nonsmoking, as we had requested. It took 20 minutes for them to switch our rooms.
2. I had called the concierge several months ahead and asked them to make manicure and pedicure appointments for us at a spa nearby. The information was in their system when we checked in, but the appointments were never made. Result: no one could accomodate us, so we didn't get the manis/pedis. (Hey, this was supposed to be a "girls' weekend!"
3. I had a raging headache and the hotel staff directed my friend to walk to a Publix five blocks away to get me Advil. We subsequently discovered there was Advil in the gift shop.
4. The toilet never worked quite right in our room and the toilet paper holder was missing its bar.
All of this combined was very disappointing to say the least. When my friend spoke to the manager the next morning, though, all of our room charges were comped and we were given 10,000 Starwood points. Still, I never would have expected this from this hotel. Be warned!
Top Notch Service at Westinfrom Tampa_Law_Guy
The lobby is very airy and open and is decorated exquisitely. Check-in was an absolute breeze and the desk agent was probably one of the friendliest and most helpful people I have encountered at a hotel. As I am a Starwood Gold Preferred Guest, I was upgraded to a corner king-bedded room on the 20th floor, Room 2005. The room was spacious and was tastefully deocrated in soothing earth tones. The bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. The seating area was surrounded by windows that gave a beautiful panoramic view of the Atlanta skyline, especially nice in the evenings with the buildings lit. The bathroom had a separate tub and shower. The toiletries were Aveda and were replenished daily.
The housekeeping staff was attentive and thorough. Room service was prompt and the food was pretty good as hotels go. The Palm Restaurant is in the lobby and I would recommend that for all who love steak and have not yet been to one of their locations throughout the US.
The valet staff was excellent. I called down for my car several times over the course of my two-day stay and by the time I made it down the elevator to the motor lobby, my car was already there waiting for me. All the valet staff was extremely friendly, helpful and always asked me if I needed directions to wherever I was going.
The hotel is located adjacent to Lenox and Phipps Malls and just a few blocks from the MARTA Buckhead stop on the North line.
I would highly recommend the Westin Buckhead. They far exceeded my expectations and I will definitely return in the future.

Top Local Tips for Atlanta
Take the train everywhere! Traffic is insane!! The Aquarium was AWESOME! The best ever! Go, at least once in your life! Excellent dining everywhere!
Six Flags Over Ga Flash pass, unbelievably great!
watch out for the in-room fridge Indeed, these are space age technology and ridiculous!! I opened the in room fridge which has the 20-second rule, lift and replace within 20 secs or get charged. The fridge was totally full, so seeing that I couldn't put my own drinks in there, I carefully closed the door. On the express bill: refreshments in room x2 (@$3.50).
