The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 2
Posted By: Mark BDate: January-23, 1998 at 22:28:47
My wife is Type A, I am Type B. It would be helpful if we had a program or database to compare what foods we can both eat (Beneficial, Neutral) rather than flip back and forth through the book on each food group. I don't mean to infringe on copyrighted material, but does such a program or list exist. I could do it myself, but thought many with children/significant others could benefit from such a program.

On Tuesday, February 3, due to a special event being held in Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center, there will be no public tours of the Capitol. The Capitol Visitor Center will be closed all day except for individuals on official business and people going to the House and Senate Visitor Galleries.
"The Star-Spangled Banner," a song based on a poem by Francis Scott Key, was inspired by the American flag during the War of 1812. It became the United States' national anthem through the efforts of Representative John Linthicum of Maryland. Linthicum introduced his bill in the House of Representatives in 1929. Bolstered by petitions, letters, and telegrams from around the country, he pressed for its passage, saying that an anthem would be an expression of patriotism. In 1931 Congress officially designated the song as the national anthem.
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
"Star-Spangled Banner," National Anthem of the United States

We've detected you are coming from a location where we have a regional site.Please choose one of the following sites:
Demonstrating its commitment to users, Hasselblad is today launching a comprehensive new Customer Care Program, featuring special prices on product upgrades, refurbishment, and extended warranties and support for all registered Hasselblad owners. The first stage of the program, starting today, will provide owners of Hasselblad H1 and H2 cameras with an extremely beneficial trade in or upgrade of their equipment to a number of the most recent model configurations.
In the near future, the program will be expanded to cover owners of all Hasselblad digital products or V System cameras. In addition, a special customer care area on the Hasselblad website will offer informative articles, product information, and other helpful material to all registered H System users.
Christian Poulsen, CEO of Hasselblad, comments on the new program, "At Hasselblad, we are proud of the fact that we are continually striving to develop world leading products and new photographic solutions. We do this so that we can live up to our goal of producing the best cameras in the world for the most discerning photographers, helping them, in turn, to produce the finest images in the world.
We recently announced the launch of the Hasselblad H3DII, the H3DII-39MS and H2F cameras and the discontinuation of production of certain older H System models. Some H System owners have expressed concern that this means we are abandoning these cameras – and their owners. Nothing could be further from the truth. We see the launch of this new Customer Care Program as further proof of our commitment to our customers and to our products."
One of the cornerstones of the Hasselblad philosophy has always been the long-term support and care provided to all Hasselblad camera systems and the photographers who use them. This has not changed. Hasselblad continues to launch new products – and stop producing older ones – as developments and demands dictate.
For this reason we have set up the Hasselblad Customer Care Program, which will provide a foundation for upgrades, trade-in and refurbishment programs, to ensure that all Hasselblad users have access to the most recent and most advanced products."
Christian Poulsen concludes, "Our message to photographers is clear - whether you choose to stick with your current H System gear or trade up to the newer, more advanced models, you can rest assured that you will always receive the best support and customer care that Hasselblad can provide, both today and tomorrow."

Responding to the controversy that just won't die — the Imus in the Morning scandal — hip hop mogul Russell Simmons says he agrees with those who say that rap and hip hop music is just as guilty of degrading women and glorifying racial epithets against blacks as the comments made by the shock jock. Concretely, he believes that the music industry would do well to eliminate three words from its vernacular:
Expressing concern about the "growing public outrage" over the use of such words in rap lyrics, Simmons said the words "bitch," "ho" and "nigger" should be considered "extreme curse words."
"We recommend (they're) always out," Simmons, the pioneering entrepreneur who made millions of dollars as he helped shape hip-hop culture, said in an interview Monday. "This is a first step. It's a clear message and a consistency that we want the industry to accept for more corporate social responsibility"
I have a hard time believing that these words will disappear from hip hop any time soon. And in hearing Simmons' proposal, I couldn't help but be reminded of a post Maegan wrote back in 2005 about Reggaeton. Many have charged that this musical genre is degrading to women, with lyrics that sing the praises of the perreo and which many say reduce women to mere sex objects, perpetuating the negative stereotype of an oversexed Latino macho.
Reggaeton has flown under the radar in the U.S. — the land of P.C.-ness and regulations — because the lyrics are in Spanish, leaving most of the population in the dark about what the songs are about.
Fans of reggaeton compare the genre to hip hop, and say its lyrics reflect a Latino reality, and that the hype about them is overblown. Indeed, not all reggaeton songs are about sex.
What do you think? Should reggaeton lyrics also be put in the hotseat as hip hop lyrics? Should neither be regulated? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Trading her usual casual attire for some high-fashion duds, Kristen Stewart made her way to the Chanel Spring/Summer 2015 runway show as part of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week on Tuesday (January 27).
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" starlet was in fine form as she mingled with Vanessa Paradis outside the jam-packed venue ahead of Karl Lagerfeld's latest event.
It's almost time for the reboot of "Fantastic Four," and Marvel has just rolled out the much-anticipated preview trailer for all to see.
It's pretty clear that she's addicted to selfies and Kim Kardashian plays on her penchant for photos in the new Super Bowl XLIX commercial for T-Mobile.
While snapping all kinds of pictures in various settings, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" babe explains that the mobile company lets subscribers keep unused data for up to one year.
Despite her constant presence in the public eye, Taylor Swift has always seemed to keep her belly button hidden from the cameras.
But during her recent trip to Hawaii with the Haim sisters (Este, Danielle and Alana), the "Shake It Off" songstress pranced around in a two-piece bikini that put her navel on full display.
He's one of the most gentle and humble hunks in the industry, and when Benedict Cumberbatch misspoke during his recent interview with Tavis Smiley he immediately issued an apology.
He's been looking forward to hitting the road and reconnecting with fans, so it's disappointing that Chris Brown has been forced to push back the start of his upcoming tour.
On Monday (January 26) the "Kiss Kiss" singer told his Instagram followers, "The beginning of the BTS tour has been moved to later dates now. The judge would not sign off on my travel to do the tour until I finish these last 100 hours of community service. I promise that I am busting my a** doing it everyday until it's complete."
It's always a treat to see what Victoria's Secret has been up to, and the brand's new Super Bowl advertisement is nothing short of sizzling.
Kicking off the week with some promotional duties for her new film "Still Alice," Kristen Stewart showed up at "Live with Kelly and Michael" on Monday morning (January 26).
As she walked out onto the stage, the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" star received a warm welcome from the audience and flashed a smile.
"Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."

South Texas report: Islanders men's tennis clinches Southland championship
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas A&MCorpus Christi men's tennis team clinched the program's sixth straight Southland Conference championship Thursday, taking a 6-0 final over Lamar.
The Islanders (14-7, 4-0 conference) will go for their fourth undefeated Southland slate in six seasons against TexasPan American on Saturday.
Doubles were not necessary due to the Southland Conference Tournament seeding being set, so the two teams started singles play first, with doubles only being played if necessary.
They were not, however, as the Islanders played well on all courts and won all five matches played in two sets. The No. 6 singles match was defaulted to Pietro Jordao to put the team up 1-0 before the first serve.
Singles scoring started when Matt Westmoreland won 6-1, 6-1 at the No. 3 position to make it 2-0.
Less than two minutes later, Javier Pujol clinched his match by a 6-0, 6-0 final at the No. 5 position to make it 3-0. Peter Nagy closed things out shortly after, winning 6-1, 6-2 at No. 1 singles to give the Islanders the championship and the No. 1 seed heading into next week's conference tournament.
Ricardo Mayagoitia won 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4 to make it 5-0, and Gergo Weidinger closed it out with his 6-2, 6-4 final at No. 2 singles.
Javs' Robinson, Alvarez net honors
KINGSVILLE — Texas A&M-Kingsivlle track and field athletes Jeron Robinson and Samantha Alvarez were recognized by the Lone Star Conference as the Field Athletes of the Week.
Robinson broke the school record in the high jump by clearing the bar at 2.26 meters (7 feet, 5 inches) at the Javelina Twilight Invitational on Saturday. He entered the weekend with a Division II national best of 2.20 meters (7-3). His new best is the seventh-best height in Division II history and fourth best this season among collegiate jumpers at all levels.
Alvarez had a season-best mark of 5-7 (1.70 meters) in the high jump at the Twilight Invitational. The height was the third-best mark in the LSC. Alvarez was also first in the pole vault with the second-best mark in the LSC at 11-6.25 (3.51 meters) and tops in the javelin (116-11, 35.65 meters).

Wesleyan's low-residency MFA in Creative Writing offers an apprenticeship model that enables students to earn a graduate degree without having to uproot their lives. Students are on campus for an intense residency period of nine to ten days each summer and winter and complete their semester course work through correspondence with a mentor. Launched by Irene McKinney, who served as West Virginia's Poet Laureate until her death in February 2012, the program continues to honor her vision: the dynamic core faculty is committed to fostering the creation of fine literature, particularly literature that explores place and identity. This program is the only one of its kind in the state.

Hi, all!
We are debating whether to get Thermador 30" all gas PR304GH or GE monogram 30" all gas ZGP304NRSS. Wolf is not in the running since it doesn't have sealed burners and DH is not keen on the look (the red knobs, I think turns him off - puns intended.) DH loves to sear and sautee and loves cooking on high heat, I like to make soups and broil so low simmer capability is important. Baking is cookie level (not bread or cake.) We love the look of both ranges. Besides of having a good looking range that is fun to cook with, reliability is important to us especially since we will be shelling out over $4K for each. The appliance guy at our local store (not a big chain) said that he has less issues with GE mono than with Thermador. One thing that keeps us considering Thermador, even after hearing about the reliability is second to GE mono, is that we like the star burners as they supposedly heat more evenly than the circle burners. Nevertheless, we are concerned that the XLO click-on and off feature will be problematic after a long time (say > 5 years.) Anyone who owned Thermador out there for > 5 years that can let us know how has the XLO feature holding up for you? How much service call have you needed to make during that time? How was the customer service? Thanks in advance for your feedback! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Actually, you're wrong about Wolf. My understanding is that the new models of the all-gas range have the same sealed burners that the dual-fuel ranges have had for years. |
Hi, I can't speak to the newer Thermador ranges, but we have a Thermador dual fuel range that is about 12-15 years old (bought by previous owners). Two of the burners have that XLO feature, and I can tell you that they never worked properly in the 9 years that I've been using them. I had service out to fix the problem two or three times but they never fixed it, and I declined to shell out about $1,000 for a new circuit board which might or might not have fixed the problem. Basically, those burners just shut themselves off after a few minutes without warning (in the open position!). As a result, they are useless for simmering since they require near constant attention to see if they are still working. I have just one burner that I can use for simmering (doesn't have the XLO feature), and the two XLO burners can't go below medium-low heat. Separately, the controls for the range are awful - setting the timer is a huge pain, and the readout for oven temperature is so dim that it can't be read at all. To set oven temperature, I have to count in increments of 5 degrees as I push the up/down buttons and pray that I got it right. I can't see the current setting at all, and if I need to change it, well, you get the idea. Swore I'd never get a Thermador again...oddly, I ended up choosing Thermador fridge/freezer columns and Thermador induction cooktop for my remodel. People seem happy with them - hopefully the takeover by Bosch has improved the quality, but I'd still stay away from their ranges and ovens. That's just me, of course, ymmv. |

Hi, all! Thanks for the feedback so far. Weismann: you are correct that the new all gas 30" wolf, coming out in the first quarter of 2013, will have all sealed burners. But the appliance guy said not to count on wolf being on schedule (since apparently this model was supposed to be out in July 2012 and now it's Sept and they haven't shipped yet.) In any case, while I like Wolf as a brand for its reliability and it has what I like, DH doesn't like its look. It's the red knobs. Maybe they do come in black knobs, I don't know. In either case, we are not sure we can wait for Wolf to come with their new all gas model. soibean: thank you for your honest feedback. I was worried about that XLO burner konk-ing out on us as you have described. So thanks for the heads up! |
In the late 90's and early 2000's Thermador used a potentiometer that wore out after a while. About 7 years ago they developed a new part that seems to last and last. It's rare when I'm changing the potentimeter anymore. They even made the part backwards compatible for older ranges. The XLO feature just doesn't give any problems anymore. I don't have any issue recommending the Thermador to my customers. |
- Posted by lovetogarden_oak (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 19:12
Thanks, jakvis. That's another good info for consideration and for your recommendation for T-dor. Good to know that the potentimeter issue on the XLO fearture on T-dor seems to be resolved. |

My Husband and I Switched Sides of the Bed (and Our Marriage Survived!)
When I told people that we were considering a change-up after almost a decade on our respective sides, they recoiled in horror.
"That would be grounds for divorce in our house!" they shouted. "We would move into separate rooms before we would swap! You will never sleep again!"
I have never been a middle-of-the-bed type of girl. In my unmarried years, I trended towards the side farthest from the door, probably with the subconscious thought that if someone nefarious broke in, they'd get to the first empty pillow and give up. When my husband moved in, there was no bed-side discussion; he simply filled the gap.

darn didn't remember I have to post seperate messages for each pic |
Wow- these are amazing. I checked all your links. You have been very busy and have many wonderful ideas!! |
Actually you don't have to make a new post for each photo. If you embed the photos, like you did on the flowers on wooden stake photos, then you can embed multiple photos. IMO this is easier for readers - since we don't have to click multiple times. Or else you can just post replies to your original thread with the additional photo links. |

"It's a bargain!" may be the war cry of the shopper but there's more to striking a deal than a taste for shopping mall food courts.
Wayne Wright, who joined CSULB's Philosophy Department in 2005, is interested in how we make – and how we ought to make – decisions when circumstances are less than perfect.
"Look at bargaining," said Wright, who joined the university after two years as a visiting lecturer at St. Louis' Washington University. "We negotiate every day. We negotiate with our families, friends and employers about much more than money. We negotiate about work, fun, and time. There are any number of topics of negotiation that have little to do with dollars and cents."
Wright focuses on a body of empirical research that reveals that real negotiations often deviate from the stereotyped model of a hustling seller saying anything to move the product. "There are bargainers who are aggressive, difficult, and perhaps unprincipled," he said. "But there also are other parties who are, to varying degrees, open and truthful in their dealings. It turns out that, in a number of interesting settings, being open and truthful yields better results than adversarial behavior, even when matched against parties who are not fully cooperative. Of course, it's foolish to be open and honest when the other party seeks to profit at your expense."
Trust is essential to reaping the full benefits of negotiation. "It's widely recognized that people sometimes outperform the dictates of normative models of decision making. It's also pretty easy to see that we sometimes fare rather poorly in our decisions; bad decisions produce a lot of the misery and frustration that are so evident in the world," he said. "When it comes to negotiation, trust is what allows bargainers to increase the potential benefits for both sides. A major issue is determining when it's appropriate to trust, as well as how to maintain trust once it's been established," he said. "The other party is often free to go back on the deal or to take advantage of a cooperator. Many people who are inclined to trust frequently find themselves surrounded by parties who will not reciprocate in kind. Those cooperators would presumably prefer to find like-minded people and interact with them, but that's not an easy thing to do when you're always on your guard against possible exploitation. Of considerable interest for me right now is exploring ways that a network of cooperators can develop amidst a sea of non-cooperators, taking into account the real-world limitations on human reasoning and the incomplete or cloudy information we often have about each other's past behavior and current interests."
The most important first step to negotiation is defining issues. What is essential? What kind of trade-offs can be made? Is there balance between salary and benefits? What alternatives do you have if negotiations fail? What do you value and why do you value it? One key is the reservation point.
"The negotiation analysis literature leaves no doubt that negotiating well demands establishing a reservation point ahead of time. A clear reservation point says that there is a certain point beyond which you will not go," he said. "What is the minimum package the negotiator will accept? Once the template is fixed in the negotiator's mind about what are the issues, the successful negotiator should sit down with the other party and make sure they agree about the issues that are to be bargained over. Then it becomes a matter of how forthcoming one wishes to be. If you commit yourself too early, you run the risk of being exploited. If you hold back too much, you discourage the other party from being as forthcoming as they might be. Most real-world situations are messy and not easily resolved or described in terms of precise rules, but it's important to work to figure out how mutual cooperation can be effectively encouraged and how to help a would-be cooperator better recognize when their risk for being taken advantage of is high. Hopefully, some of my research can contribute to that."
Wright earned his B.A. from Hoftsra University in 1993, his M.A. from the University of Florida in 1996 and his Ph.D. from Temple University in 1999. He spent four years in the computer software industry after earning his doctorate.
In addition to his research on decision-making, Wright works on topics related to the scientific studies of consciousness, vision, and color. His goal in that work is to clear away some of the basic confusions that have plagued philosophical research so that philosophers and scientists may more fruitfully discuss issues of common interest.

Ascom Expands Network Testing Portfolio for Evolving Networks
By Rajani Baburajan, TMCnet Contributor
Ascom (News - Alert), a provider of mission critical communications, announced it is showcasing its Network Testing offerings at major wireless industry events around the world, beginning with Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) in Barcelona, Spain.
Formed by merging Ascom's Mobile Test Solutions with recent acquisitions including Argogroup, Comarco (News - Alert), and TEMS, the Network Testing division enables the largest install base in the industry to test, monitor, and optimize wireless networks, company officials said.
These solutions target network operators, infrastructure vendors, service providers, and government agencies, the company said. The products offer a subscriber perspective that improves network planning, troubleshooting, optimization, and benchmarking activities.
"Ascom has assembled the strongest portfolio in the industry," Rikard Lundqvist, general manager of the Ascom Network Testing division, said in a statement. "Our advanced end-to-end solutions are proven, innovative, and perfectly complement each other."
According to Ascom officials, the testing solutions address the full wireless network lifecycle, from initial planning through network maturity. Along with high-quality voice services, the offerings support the explosive growth of mobile broadband data and content services.
Ascom's Network Testing supports all major telecommunications technologies from any infrastructure vendor, with a special emphasis on the latest emerging technology standards. The portfolio spans the areas of planning and design, test and measurement, benchmarking and monitoring and reporting and analysis, company officials said.
In addition to Mobile World Congress, Ascom will display its Network Testing portfolio at CTIA Wireless, Convergence India, CommunicAsia (News - Alert), and P&T / Expo Comm later this year.
Earlier in February Ascom announced a series of enhancements to its extensive service offerings that will roll out to customers during the first half of 2010. They include their Product Protection Plans or "PPP" which extend the standard warranty and cover the repair and replacement of handsets and a new UNITE Maintenance Plan or "UMP" to replace its traditional Software Maintenance Plans or "SMP."

Expert Commentary on 'Advances in pressure ulcer management in Brazil'
01/09/11 | Pressure ulcers, Service development and delivery | Nicola R Waters
Like their Brazilian counterparts, Canadian nurses often take the lead in PU management.
An aging population and increasing incidence of chronic disease means that pressure ulcers (PUs) are also a significant concern in Canada [1]. The country's immense demographic diversity (including the Aboriginal population of Inuit, First Nations [Indians] and Métis), however, presents unique challenges in monitoring the full extent of the issue. While a 2004 survey estimated the average national prevalence of PUs at 26.2% across all healthcare settings in Canada, significant disparities exist in the way PUs are measured, managed and funded in each of the 10 provinces and three territories[2, 3].
Like their Brazilian counterparts, Canadian nurses often take the lead in PU management. Collaboration between nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, physicians, dietitians and pharmacists decrease the incidence and improve healing rates of PUs[4]. Efforts to address the escalating economic burden of PUs, while maintaining high-quality patient-centred care include the development of clinical guidelines and awareness programmes [1, 4, 5]. Each of these recommends an interdisciplinary team approach, focusing on prevention and using validated assessment tools to identify risks and determine appropriate interventions.
One factor driving these initiatives is the increasing organisational requirement for staff to report and explain the presence of PUs[6]. Heated debate on this subject is fueled largely by recent policy changes in the US, where PU development is increasingly linked to staff accountability and funding decisions[7]. While associated practice improvements have undoubtedly reduced prevalence rates, concerns have been raised about negative consequences for the small percentage of patients whose underlying conditions mean an ulcer is inevitable, even with the best possible care[7]. In these situations, the requirement to provide clearly documented evidence is further emphasised. Although health litigation and quality-related reimbursement have traditionally been less prevalent 'north of the border', PUs are now considered a quality measure in a significant number of Canadian long-term care facilities[6] and clinicians here are following these deliberations closely.
Canadian best practice PU recommendations are intended for use across all care settings,[4] yet uptake across the country varies considerably. At a recent wound workshop in northern Canada, I was reminded of the difficulties faced by some clinicians trying to follow existing guidelines. The event was held at a large urban hospital that serves a vast area of sparsely populated and geographically isolated communities. More than half of the residents are Aboriginal people and the population's incidence of chronic disease is growing at an alarming rate[8]. During a discussion about what makes an ideal wound team, participants described how they may be the only clinician for many square kilometres. Connections with other disciplines are often only available electronically. While there is evidence to suggest that telewound programmes are significantly improving outcomes in remote regions,[8] best practice takes on a whole new meaning for these clinicians as they struggle to find resourceful ways to prevent and treat pressure ulcers and other chronic wounds.

The Liberal Party of Canada is opening its doors to all Canadians who wish to connect with and be engaged by the Party. Liberal delegates at the Ottawa 2012 – Liberal Biennial Convention decided to transform our Party into a more open and modern political movement by allowing a whole new group of supporters to participate in choosing our next Leader.
The LPC Constitution states that to be eligible as a supporter you must be either a member of the Party or:
(a) at least 18 years of age;
(b) support the purposes of the Party;
(c) qualify as an elector who may vote in accordance with part 11 of the Canada Elections Act or ordinarily live in Canada; and
(d) not a member of any other federal political party in Canada.
Identifying Potential Supporters
The right to vote in the Party is, historically, one of the most widely recognized and effective incentives to be involved in the Party. Potential supporters need to be made aware of the upcoming leadership vote and their eligibility to participate in it. The best way to communicate this is to build relationships.
Building Relationships
People recruit people. The most effective way of recruiting is to foster personal relationships with people, and communicate the benefits of becoming a Liberal supporter. Think of how you would like to be approached when planning how to recruit new supporters. Build a relationship by planning opportunities to interact (such as community events) instead of just outright asking. The more meaningful the relationship your riding association builds with potential supporters, the more likely they are to become supporters or join the Party.
Identifying potential supporters in your Riding
Target the following groups when pursuing supporters. The different groups below are all people that have shown interest in the Party, whether the active commitment or self-identification with our values. They are listed from a high level of engagement with the Party to low.
- Active Volunteers and event attendees – personal relationships and further opportunity for involvement (by participating in the Leadership Vote) will appeal to this group and help when recruiting them.
- Past Volunteers and previous sign takers – reaching out to these individuals through community events and other engagement activities can help to get them involved so that they are exposed to the benefits of becoming a supporter.
- Liberal Voters – These people have been self-identified as Liberal, and therefore are committed to our Party and values. Engage these people by inviting them to events in their community.
Visit http://liberalist.liberal.ca to learn how to create a list of volunteers, event attendees, sign takers and Liberal voters.
Executing effective projects to recruit supporters to your riding
Building your team
Consult with your most active members and riding association executive when deciding which recruitment methods would be most effective in your riding. The more people with a hand in the decision-making, the more people with a vested interest in the results.
It may be helpful to organize a steering committee that reports to the riding association on your progress. Some of the people that you bring to the table will be empowered by the responsibility and may be more inclined to ask other people to join because they will be a part of your team. Members of your steering committee may also have personal contacts or ideas to improve your campaign/event. Whatever the approach your riding association decides on, it is helpful to reach out to members as well as to past and active volunteers to be a part of the project once you have enough of the basics determined for you to communicate the opportunity to get involved.
Getting it done
There are a variety of ways to approach potential supporters: in person, by telephone, by email and by regular mail. However, experience has shown that people respond best by being approached by volunteers committed to the Party, whether in person (door-to-door, events, etc) or by phone. Furthermore, using a base of volunteers make these people more engaged in the Party. Regular mail is the least cost effective method to communicate.
Organizing a Phone Canvass
First clearly define the audience (i.e. who) and content (i.e. of your phone canvass so that you can put together a script for volunteers. Simplify the "ask": clearly define why you are approaching this particular group and why becoming a supporter would appeal to them.
Phone canvasses are most effective when run from one location: set a specific date, time, and location and make it a group bonding experience for volunteers. Volunteers are more motivated to make phone calls at the same time as other volunteers in a central location. The geographic size of your riding may make this inconvenient so you may prefer to set up a couple different home centers or to split up your lists and have a telephone meeting to report on everyone's progress. It's important to have fun and to feed your volunteers.
Virtual Phone Banks on Liberalist show canvassers the information they need about each person to call and allow them to enter the canvassing results right away. Often the greatest obstacle is resources: finding a computer and phone line for each volunteer. Skype is a useful solution. Skype is an internet program that allows very inexpensive computer to land line phone calls. All you need is a wireless internet connection, and you can have volunteers bring in their laptops to run the phone canvass. Another solution is printing out canvassing sheets from a different list so that some of your callers can use the virtual phone bank and some can call from canvassing sheets. If you don't have the resources you need to set up a virtual phone bank, simply print all of your lists and focus on getting the phone lines you need. Many volunteers will have free cell service on evenings and week-ends, so ask them to bring a phone.
Please visit http://liberalist.liberal.ca to learn how to print lists and/or set up a virtual phone bank.
Organizing an Event
Events are a great opportunity to build relationships because people get to meet in person. Different kinds of events are helpful for building relationships with different groups. Community events, for example policy discussions, should be promoted as widely as possible to encourage non-members, members and donors to have their say. Ridings may choose to hold an open AGM and invite people who are not members; however, only members have the right to vote at these meetings. An open AGM is a good example of an event that engages both members and supporters.
It is helpful to have some sort of purpose or incentive to interest people in attending your event. Traditionally, organizers promote an opportunity to network, to listen to a guest speaker and to enjoy food or drinks. For example, a great low cost event is a spaghetti dinner with a speaker. Higher ticketed events are intimate events for networking and meeting with special guests.
Once you have determined the time, cost and special nature of the event, you should do a phone canvass and send an email to your target audience to invite them to come. It is also easy to promote your event online and manage the registration on Liberalist by submitting your event here- http://events.liberal.ca/ This will provide you with a registration link that you can share by email and through social media like Facebook or Twitter.

T-Mobile Executive Customer Relations
I've been having a lot of trouble with my less than one month old T-Mobile account. I'm kind of angry at them, so I thought I'd post all the executive customer relations numbers (customer service but better) I've been able to find. I've already been talking with Mark and he's been somewhat helpful, but I think I'm going to have to try some new numbers. I'll update this post later after I've found more names. As far as I can tell every extension in the 341-8000's is valid, but I'm still working on finding more. Hope this helps you if you are having trouble with your T-Mobile account!

EDIT (12/8/2011): Zuyq Def has some excellent information down in the comments, check that out if you want more numbers and information.
Thank you for the numbers!
You could also try emailing [email protected] and CC [email protected]. I just did a minute ago from info I found here: http://consumerist.com/344173/email-tmobile-executive-customer-service
I'll let you know how it goes…
Help! Was your T mobile issue resolved? I'm looking for fax number, email address or phone to send a letter I have written about an ($400) overcharge from tmobile. I've dealt with a supervisor from customer relations to no avail. Thank you!
I called the number of angela becket , she was a non nonsense person who actually helped me .. numbers are valid. 7/26/10
I have been in contact with angela beckett for the past few weeks, about my current problem that started months ago. Quick rundown of my problem. My phone doesnt receive calls. Sometimes it gets text messages, but only if i dont have an email notification. if i do have an email notification, i dont get text messages. the same (as in i dont get them) goes for voicemail notifications.
I dont waste my time with normal customer service, they are, for the most part worthless. I write emails to anyone and everyone I can, you get a better response if you go straight to the higher-ups. I was first contacted in July by Angela about my problem. She pretty much told me that t-mobile wouldnt help me and i was out of luck. i then sent another email, because my problems are just getting worse. She contacted me again last week and told me they were willing to exchange my phone as a one time courtesy. I was thrilled and though something was actually going to be done. I called her back and she told me to pick out a phone, which i did. She then told me that the phone i picked out would cost me $199. So i oicked out a different phone and she told me it would cost $150 with a $50 rebate. I was almost going to give her my credit card information when she informed me that I would have to renew my 2 year contract with tmobile to get the new phone. I then went to the site while she was on the phone to check out exactly what i was getting. the phones I had picked out were cheaper for me to get online with a two year contract.
They are one of the most backwards companies I have ever had the misfortunes of dealing with. I have been a customer for 10 years and their service is going downhill fast. I can understand that they get complaints and a lot of them are minor, but this is a major one. my phone doesnt work anymore. As a side note, my wife has the same phone and she has the same problems, minus the email problem (she doesnt have a data plan).
I can not wait until my contract is up with them. I will never deal with them again. im sure i will get the same crappy service with whomever i sign with next, but at least it will be new crap with different people, lol.
i am currently looking for a way out of this contract, hoping they up my rates or something.
I am wondering since they have admitted there is a problem and not supplied a remotely satisfactory resolution, if there may be a way out of the contract.
someday, these companies will actually listen to their customers………i hope.
The Sony Ericsson Equinox is a lemon, and T-Mobile sent me 5 before they sent me something else. Then once they got me in to another phone they knew I could not use that as a way to get out of my contract. Thats when they told me they were having problems with that phone! In other words they would not tell me that the phone had problems until they got me into another phone. I have been through hell with this company for the last month and am now still having problems. My dad is in the hospitals ICU and I cant get phone calls on my new phone (LG Sentio). It is sporadic and my family and friends tell me that after 3 rings it goes to a voicemail that I cant even retrieve. T-Mobile sucks. I sent 2 emails to the executive response dept. and it did no good! I filed a complaint with the BBB to see what happens next! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
What is the area code to these phone #'s
I did reach someone at 1-425-378-4000 that was able to assist me with my issue with T-Mobie
I emailed everyone I could find, and filed 4 complaints yesterday.
Did you know that according to the BBB T-Mobile averages 22-24 complaints PER DAY. That means every day of every week of every month 22-24 people are p*ssed off enough at T-Mobile to take time out of their day to file a formal complaint with the BBB.Check this out…

I sent a T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant phone to the T-Mobile replacement center in fort Worth, TX over a month ago. No one can find it. The Customer Support outsourced help is worthless. Try doing without your cell phone for what's going on 5 weeks now. I'm giving this situation until Monday for a concrete response and explanation, otherwise, I plan to file a claim here in the Las Vegas Justice Court for the cost of a new phone, serving fees, letter of intent and court costs. That should get some response. In my opinion, T-Mobile has the worst customer support of any company my business has ever dealt with… Period…
for those who have t-mobil phones we all got fuc*ed angela beckett origionaly said they would help me and just break the contract clean if I sent them my phones , well I did and guess what days later I have some dumbass at t-mobil calling my office asking why I sent them my phones I told them what was going on they said ok.. IT never ends those the debited my personal bank account for 500.00 bucks saying that I never sent the phones back…… OMG.
T-mobile has a racket where they tell you to mail the defective phones then they charge you a $350 restocking fee even though they collect the phones and refurbish them. They are the biggest rip-offs.
I've been through 5 G's since 4/5/11, after only purchasing it as of 2/9/11. Each of the 4 phones I received as a warranty replacement had the same defect: No audible ringtone, even though all other media and tones worked. the 5th phone I received today has loose hinges and it slides open unless it's set on it's back, literally. My 6th phone is now on it's way.
I contacted ECR, and spoke with Jason Moten. Jason indicated that he was going to flag my account so that I can only do exchanges at a sales office because I've had to do so many exchanges in the last 2 weeks. Essentially, he is saying that I am lying about the troubleshooting I'm following to determine if the exchange was required. I don't even want any other model. I want the same G2, but one that is FUNCTIONAL. Why am I being penalized for T-Mobile repeatedly sending out defective replacements for my already defective phone? I had to corner this gentleman on the phone to get him to admit that the reason he was flagging my account was due to the fact that he thought I was fabricating the malfunctions and not following troubleshooting. He also told me that I have the option of purchasing a new handset. I just purchased the G2 brand new less than 3 months ago.
I'm at my wit's end. I'm ready to cancel regardless of my 3 $200 termination fees.
Any ideas??
I have been having the most difficult time with T-Mobile the keep wanting to charge me a restock charge on a phone that was returned on time. I was told by a Janice who is the manager for sit 138 that their is nothing she can do because i was already told that the phone was sent to me on 1/6/2011 and I returned the phone on 2/26/2011 that means that its over 60 days if I'm not mistaken this isn't 60 days but they keep turning of my service. this is unbelievable.
I agree with Ralph. I am a new customer too and I am very unhappy with the phone I just got from one of T-Mobile's sites. All I want to do is swap my current phone for another. I did not ask to have my service cancelled and I am even willing to pay the difference for the next phone, so why the high restocking fee. I have already e-mailed customer service and now waiting to see if they are willing to work with me on that restocking fee or if they are willing loose me back to Verizon.
Thanks everyone for all of the contact information you have posted!
I am having a TERRIBLE time with T-Mobile at the moment. Last year I purchased a phone and was told it would require a one year contract extension. Fine. In the past year that phone has gotten worse and worse – I can barely get two signal bars and I live in a metropolitan area. I also have a second line for a family member who lives in a rural area and she can NEVER get service on her phone. Whatever – she has a landline so we decided to wait it out until my contract was over in June this year and then switch to Verizon who has much better covereage in our region than T-Mobile.
I've been a T-Mobile customer for a long time…easily 6 or 7 years. Only in the past couple of years have I started to have major problems with the custome service. I've had them yell at me when I call to dispute items on my bill, threaten to hang up on me, call me a liar….not exactly the greatest customer service if you ask me.
So today I called to be certain that they didn't screw anything up because I have had a TON of billing and contract problems with them in the past. Thankfully I called because apparently the sales rep who sold me the phone last year with a one year contract extension actually extended the contract two years and straight up lied ot me about it. I didn't know this until today, but last year two days after I purchased the new phone I also called to have them apply a corporate discount to my account and was told it would extend my contract end date by two days and it would end in 2011. That person ALSO lied to me.
I was willing to pay the $200 termination fee because I am so fed up with their b.s., however since I have two lines it would cost me $400! It was their mistake and I am trying to meet them halfway on this but the CSR I spoke to this morning basically called me a liar and threatened to hang up on me multiple times and refused to transfer me to a supervisor when I asked her (which I asked MANY times).
I should also note that when I bought the phone last year, the sales rep told me it would cost $80 with a one year contract extension, and he would include a free case for the phone. I found out today that the phone was actually $49.99, he charged me $12.99 for a case I wouldn't have bought if I wasn't told it was free, and an $18 upgrade fee (no idea what that even is). I also specifically asked for no insurance, but oh, what showed up on my bill the next month? An insurance fee. So i called to have that removed and the CSR that time lied to me and told me she couldn't take care of the problem over the phone and that I would have to go into a T-Mobile store. I told her I needed her to and after she insisted multiple times that she couldn't, she finally did. When did lying become part of a customer service model? I also had to call the next month because the same fee hit again and that time the CSR took care of it without lying and saying she couldn't take care of it over the phone.
I've already printed and signed multiple copies of the dispute letter that I am sending to Customer Relations, but am also sending to Investor Relations in NY and Germany and will also be using the names and contract info that some of you have listed above.
I cannot WAIT to not have to deal with this awful excuse for customer service! Good luck to all of you.
Hi everyone:
I have been having horrible customer service experience with T-Mobile and found the emails that are listed above and sent my letter to all of them. I had gotten a smart phone and for 5 days the 4G service wouldn't work and I dealt with the WORST customer service of my entire life at their stores and again through calling about 10 different times. It started working on its own after 5 days and spending hours of my own time on the issue. I drafted a letter asking for at least two months of credit on my bill (hey, wanted to start high in hopes I'd get one month).Pancho calls me two hours or so after my mass email, we get in contact today. He says that they are "respectfully declining" my request and are offering $20 credit to my bill. I asked him multiple times to give me at least one month's credit, he said no, wouldn't give me a reason. I asked to speak to a manager, was flat out refused! I said that this was the worst customer service I'd ever dealt with and even VERIZON gave me money back after dealing with issues with them. He just kept saying no.
I then said, fine, I would report them to BBB and he said, that's fine, he's the one I'd have to deal with with that complaint and I'd get the same response!!! I filed one with them anyways and am hoping to get some sort of response. I'm also going to try to send my letter to their corporate headquarters in hopes I'll get some sort of answer.
But really, T-Mobile is the WORST company I have EVER dealt with! I couldn't believe the response I got. If I hadn't signed their stupid contract, I would leave right away.
Oops meant to mention that "Pancho" is calling from the Executive Office and is a direct rep of them.
Tmobile has been hitting me up for cramming for 7 months, i finally escalated to PUC/California, which generated a call from
angela beckett
877-290-6323 x3418013
executive cust relation off of president.
She proceeded to practically scream in my ear for 10 mins without acknowledging any wrongdoing or offering any credits to my account. Avoid her at all costs. Go right to the president.Wow, just having issues with tmobiles customer support. 60 min to reach an operator!
T mobile just pulled a doosie…I bought a pre paid plan which provided for data services at 1.49 per day (as I was not a heavy user) I paid for a year of servicve…as of October 16, 2011 the have discontinued the data services on the pre paid plan…this seems not right…now I either upgrade or toss my money…will file with BBB…and keep posting
I have been with T-Mobile for over 11years. I tried to upgrade with 2mg of internet. I told them I really didn't need the internet except maybe for an emergency.4
Phone 1 – went back to the store, it was a 3g and sometime it answer and sometime it did.
phones 2 – 4g keep turning the internet on. They final took the over charges of and sent me the next.
Phone 3 – yes a nightmare is mild, sometime it rang, sometime you can answer sometime not, and you can call voice mail sometime but not most of the time. It only showed that one person called and that I only called one person (what a trip when VM isn't working,
Phone 4 – They sent me a phone and I couldn't read the letters and numbers on it – I sent it back.
They do not respond to my letters and said they will not do anything about it.
I am using my old strip…have no internet and am stuck paying for it.
I am about finished with them.Wow, you guys must be reallypissing people off at T-Mobile. I have been having problems with my cliq2 for about a month now. Customer service has always been helpful to me but, all they want to do is keep sending me refurbished phones that don't work. I called Angelia Beckett and she was wonderful to speak with. She offered to renew my 2 year contract and offer me a new phone.. kudos to T-Mobile!!
I'm a new customer with T-Mobile and very disappointed. I had payment set up via billpay through my checking account where they send the payment directly from my account. Turns out they sent a paper check Oct 24 and it cleared November 1, but not applied to my phone account. Phone turned off since they say they didn't received payment so I had to pay via their website. It's time again to pay and I still have no idea where that money went. Nobody knows. Then they told me that no contract accounts can't pay by check, but nowhere on the website does it say that. In fact, it lists all the ways that we can pay and paper check is one of them. Customer service is a joke and I'm about ready to poke my eyes out with a hot knife for all the transferring and b.s. I'm getting. Just discovered the ERC numbers above and left a couple messages. It's after 5p on Monday Thanksgiving week, so let's see if I hear from anyone this week. Meanwhile, payment due on the 27th.
I have been with T Mobile for 7 years and I am also having an issue with a check being applied to my account. I mail my checks in too as well, since one of the lines is on a business account and it has to be paid out of that checking account, so I send two checks in, (one for the business line, one for the other two lines I have). One was applied, one was not (the business account check). I have faxed to them copies of the cancelled check showing they cashed it and have heard nothing. It is a rather large check too. I'm at my wits end, as I don't know what to do. Their customer service department does not comprehend or speak the English language very well; not sure when this happened, but their customer service department seems to have been transitioned overseas. You can pay by check if you have a contract, and their billing addresses are listed on the website, depending on what part of the country you live in. My next step is to file a complaint with the FCC, BBB and the Attorney General.
Here is a way that makes the process of contacting ECRC go a little faster:
1. Call 1-877 290 6323
2. Select an extension to call. If you are starting from the lowest that would be 341 8010
3. If you talk to someone, yeah! But if not leave a message.
4. Don't hang up, press # # (pound twice). That will record your message
5. Press *T to transfer to the next number.
6. Repeat starting at step 3Their voicemail system is Audix, so if you're familiar with that you'll know the short cuts it supports.

there seem to be several non-working number in the range 8092-8099, but I didn't explore the whole rangeAnd through another process (I'll explain in another post) I found a range of extensions
from 3417950-3417999
I only tried a few extension in this range:
7950 Devlan (customer loyalty)
7966 Jamie Montoyadivas (spelling?)
7967 ?
7970 ?
7980 ?
7990 ?
7998 ?
7999 Cat? Kellogg ECRCAlso there are extensions like 8883706, 8883625, 8883716, 8883602 (albuquerque call center)
Another process for getting to extensions:
1. Call 1-877 290 6323
2. Select an extension to call. If you are starting from the lowest that would be 341 8010
3. If you talk to someone, yeah! But if not leave a message.
4. Don't hang up, press # # (pound twice). That will record your message
5. Press *T to transfer to the next number.
6. Press *A. That will let you look up numbers by name or partial name.
7. So for instance you can type 225# (after the *A) and it will give you a choice of a couple of people with matching names to call. (You can't necessarily tell what last name 225 spells out, but that doesn't really matter, because you can just select whoever it matches.)I tried all the names that start with 2 (A, B, or C) and didn't find any that rang through to someone that answered. If enough other people want to start with 3, we could go through the whole alphabet and see if anyone can be reached. So the process, starting with 3 would be:
1. Steps 1-6 earlier in this post
2. Press 3#. Audix will either
a) transfer you to the extension if only one employee has a name that starts with D, E, or F
b) Give you a list of matching employees if it is just a few (3 or less, I think)
c) Tell you that there are no matches
c) Ask you to enter more letters. In this case try 2# (which adds 2 to the 3 you already typed, giving 32).
– From there you will get one of the same three responses a), b), c) or d).
– If you need to add another letter, add 2 (for a total of 322).
– Pretty soon you will either get response a), b) or c)
3) If you get c), then try the next number in the sequence. For example you tried 322#, and you got c), then try 323#.
4) If you get a) or b) then go to the number a) or one of the numbers b) and leave a message. Then press ## to save the message and then *T*A to get back to the lookup by name menu.
5) From there try the next number in the sequence.For the 2s I had to go through maybe 15-20 tries to cover all the combinations (I didn't have to try every combination from 22 to 99, because there were some that didn't have employee name matches and there were some combinations that started with 2 that only took two digits.)
Yes, it is complicated, but if you play around with it for a while, I think you'll get the hang of it.
Oops. Several typos in the previous post.
My list of a) b) c) c) should have been a) b) c) d).
Where I said "want to start with 3″ I meant to say "want to start with 3 or above".
"same three responses a), b), c) or d)" should have said "same four responses…"
Sorry for the typos.
Also as long as I've started (yet) another post, here is another topic. I'm wondering if some Tmobile employees have two extensions. (I called dozens of extensions and not a single one was answered.) One extension would be the kind listed in this blog and never rings through. Another extension would be one that does ring through, so that if one Tmobile employee wants to contact another one, they have a way to do so.
If this theory happened to be true it would really be good to find a "ring through" extension, because from there we could probably find a bunch more. If anyone has any ideas on this, please post!
You're nicer than I am. I wouldn't deal with T-Mobile again for anything unless they paid me. Their automated customer service is the worst. Sometimes it recognizes the number you give, other times not. I was given a Spanish speaking connection on one occasion and disconnected in the middle of trying to resolve problems twice….and all of this in a period of two hours.
I never did get any resolution to my problem which was to get a quick replacement for my phone that either fell out of the case or was stolen (I assume because I wasn't willing to get suckered in for another two years). And because I was not willing to renew a two year contract at this time and asked for the cheapest phone that would do what my old phone did until I decided on what I would ultimately like, I was sold one of 'their' cheap flip top phones (free, if I renewed) at an exorbitant price and it didn't even do what my old one did which was also an older flip top phone.
So much for valuing long term clients or customer service. Their attitude is 'take it or leave it'. Well I say 'good riddance'. T-Mobile is the WORST!!!!
just finished dealing with Executive customer service, my rep is listed at one of the extensions above. She was very helpful and managed to exchange me for the same phone I already have rather than what regular T-Mobile customer support offered us. Whether that will help us or not remains to be seen.
I started off by first writing [email protected] then got a phone call from the rep who was assigned to me.
I do think that due to their phone numbers floating on the net and a lot of people with frivolous issues, you might have a hard time getting your phone call answered when you call if you don't already have a rep assigned looking into your issue. My rep never answered her phone when I called all I got was a voice mail

This is a sample sent to me from Stacy @ Butiki.
I'm not a huge Darjeeling fan, at least I haven't been in the past, others I have tried had an acidic taste, as I recall, but I'm trying to be open minded, so when I placed my most recent Butiki order, I asked to sample some Darjeeling tea. This was one of 2 teas Stacy sent to me with my order. It is actually quite nice! A gentle, mouthwatering cup with essence of peach & some floral qualities.
Thanks Stacy, you're awesome!
