Get To Know Your Red Wings: Pavel Datsyuk
There has long been a question in the NHL as to who was the best player in the game. Was it Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, or Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals? The correct answer, of course, is Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings.
Datsyuk has proven over the last five years that he is the best player in the game, and not simply for his 95 overall rating in the upcoming release of NHL 13. He may not be the best scorer, or defender, or skater, but there is nobody in the NHL who can match him when all attributes are combined. People say that Crosby can, until he missed more than a season due to injury. Ovechkin took over some of that mantle, but his playoff inabilites have been his downfall.
Datsyuk was born on July 20, 1978 in what was then known as Sverdlovsk, USSR (now known as Yekaterinburg, Russia). His professional hockey career began in Russia playing for the Yakaterinburg Dynamo, and that was because he was too small to play in the NHL. Too small? Yeah, right. Datsyuk went undrafted in both the 1996 and 1997 NHL Entry Drafts, before finally being taken by the Red Wings in the 6th round of the 1998 installment.
Maybe it was the perfect situation, or maybe he is just that good. When Pavel came over to the States, the Red Wings were absolutely loaded with veteren players, a perfect opportunity for Datsyuk to learn and grow. Guys like Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille and fellow Russian Igor Larionov were able to pave the way. Datsyuk managed 35 points in his rookie season, but it was obvious that his size wasn't an issue, and that he was going to be one heck of a player. Maybe it was the veteren leadership, maybe it was hoisting the Stanley Cup as a rookie, or maybe he is simply that good. Henrik Zetterberg came over from Sweden the following season, and one of the best tandems in the NHL was born.
Datsyuk's trophy case has become rather full over the last decade. Three times he has won the Selke trophy awarded to the best defensive forward. He has been given the Lady Bing Memorial Trophy four times for his sportsmanship on top of his incredible performance. He was a finalist for the Hart Memorial Trophy as the MVP following the 2008-2009 season, and has hoisted Lord Stanley's Cup twice.
The two names listed above may sell more jerseys, but there isn't anyone in the NHL that I would trade Pavel Datsyuk for. Just when you think you've seen it all from #13, he does something even more ridiculous. I've lost track of the texts I've received from friends asking me if I'm convinced Datsyuk is actually human.
I'm not entirely convinced either way.

2010 Census:
Census Bureau Has Improved the Local Update of Census Addresses Program, but Challenges Remain

The Department of Commerce's (Commerce) U.S. Census Bureau (Bureau) seeks updated information on the addresses and maps of housing units and group quarters from state, local, and tribal governments through the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program. Prepared under the Comptroller General's authority, this report assesses (1) the status of the LUCA Program, (2) the Bureau's response to prior recommendations by GAO and others and new challenges related to the program, and (3) the Bureau's plans for conducting the program in areas affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. GAO reviewed LUCA program documents, met with and surveyed participants in the LUCA Dress Rehearsal, and interviewed Bureau officials and local officials in the Gulf Coast region.
The Bureau has conducted its planned LUCA operations in accordance with its published timeline. The Bureau has also taken steps to reduce workloads and burdens and improve training for localities that participate in LUCA--all areas GAO and others had identified as needing improvement. For instance, to reduce participant workload and burden, the Bureau provided a longer period for reviewing and updating LUCA materials; provided options for submitting materials for the LUCA Program; combined the collection of LUCA addresses from two separate operations into one integrated program; and created MTPS, which is designed to assist LUCA Program participants in reviewing and updating address and map data. Also, the Bureau has planned improvements to the 2010 LUCA Program training (i.e., specialized workshops for informational and then technical training) and plans to supplement the workshops with CBT. However, the Bureau faces new challenges. For instance, the Bureau tested MTPS with only one local government. Other local officials we spoke with had problems converting Bureau-provided address files. In addition, the Bureau did not test its CBT software in the LUCA Dress Rehearsal. Additional challenges stem from the damage to the Gulf Coast region caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Officials in localities in hurricane-affected areas questioned their ability to participate in the LUCA Program. The continuous changes in housing stock may hinder local governments' ability to accurately update their address lists and maps. The condition of the housing stock is likely to present additional challenges for the Bureau's address canvassing operation (in which the Bureau verifies addresses) in the form of decreased productivity for Bureau staff, workforce shortages, and issues associated with identifying vacant and uninhabitable structures. The Bureau created a task force to assess the implications of storm-related issues that proposed a number of mitigating actions. However, the Bureau has no plans for modifying the address canvassing operation or subsequent operations in the Gulf Coast region.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Census Bureau contacted the Maryland-Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) to seek its help in identifying local officials willing to evaluate the pre-final version of the LUCA computer-based training. Two of 5 officials identified by the MNCPPC participated in the evaluation as well as Help Desk Contractors. Improvements identified were incorporated in the LUCA computer-based training. The Help Desk contractors were also reviewing the MTPS and MTPS CBT. As a result of that effort, the Bureau has expanded its existing instructions and made other improvements to the MTPS users' guides as well as provided additional information via the website, fax, mail or email.
Recommendation: In order for the Bureau to address the remaining challenges facing its implementation of the 2010 LUCA Program, the Secretary of Commerce should direct the Bureau to assess potential usability issues with the LUCA Program's computer-based training and MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS) by randomly selecting localities in which to test the software packages or by providing alternative means to assess such issues before participants begin reviewing and updating materials for the 2010 LUCA Program in August 2007, and provide information on how localities can mitigate issues identified in such assessments via its public Web site and its LUCA technical help desk.
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Bureau's Help Desk contractors have prepared text and screen shot instructions for converting data between a variety of common formats and the Bureau's data formats. The Bureau will disseminate this information via its website and to Help Desk callers via email, fax, or mail, and expand this information when responding to inquiries from other participants.
Recommendation: In order for the Bureau to address the remaining challenges facing its implementation of the 2010 LUCA Program, the Secretary of Commerce should direct the Bureau to provide localities not using MTPS, via its public Web site, its LUCA technical help desk, and other appropriate means, instructions on converting files from the Bureau's format to the appropriate format for software most commonly used by participating localities to update address information.
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: March 2011: The Census Bureau published timeframes for its 2010 Census Program for Evaluations and Experiments that included an assessment of the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) documenting final volumes, rates, and costs for the operation. The Bureau planned to complete its assessment of LUCA in May 2012. June 2012: The Bureau completed an assessment of the 2010 Census Local Update of Census Addresses but did not include an assessment of the LUCA contribution to the final census count. However, the Bureau has not completed research and testing projects, including one on LUCA, that would inform its decision in 2015 about the 2020 Census design. April 2013: We requested a status update on the Census Bureau's implementation of this recommendation, but did not receive any information. January 2014: We reached out to agency officials and are awaiting a response. February 2014: The LUCA CPEX Assessment proivded to us by Bureau officials indicates that the Bureau did assess the LUCA Programs contribution to the final census populations counts (the document indicates that 6,070,611 addresses from LUCA contributed to the the final census population count for 2010).
Recommendation: In order for the Bureau to address the remaining challenges facing its implementation of the 2010 LUCA Program, the Secretary of Commerce should direct the Bureau to assess the contribution of the LUCA Program to the final census population counts, as recommended by the National Research Council (to permit an evaluation of the 2010 LUCA Program in preparation for 2020).
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Bureau has developed a draft letter to be mailed to LUCA participants that have not submitted LUCA changes after the end of the 120-day review period. The letter provides a checklist of reasons why changes might not have been submitted (or an address list under options 2 and 3) and includes a space for the respondent to submit another reason. The draft letter was included as an attachment to the 60-day letter from Commerce. The letter will be finalized after the Census Bureau has considered public comments (in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act).
Recommendation: In order for the Bureau to address the remaining challenges facing its implementation of the 2010 LUCA Program, the Secretary of Commerce should direct the Bureau to establish a process for localities that agreed to participate in the LUCA Program but found no changes in their review to explicitly communicate to the Bureau that they have no changes.
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Bureau acted on this recommendation and expanded the number of workshops and amount of community outreach in the Gulf Coast--from which they received lots of input. In February 2009 the Bureau created a job-aid for natural disaster areas which was used during the 2010 Address Canvassing operation. The Bureau also created an Appendix to the address canvassing training materials which offered supplemental procedures--including training modules and visual aids--for the Gulf Coast and other Katrina/Rita-affected areas. Additionally, the Bureau has allocated more partnership resources and Regional technician resources on the ground to engage local communities so that they may better develop their plans.
Recommendation: In order for the Bureau to address the remaining challenges facing its implementation of the 2010 LUCA Program, the Secretary of Commerce should direct the Bureau to develop strategy, plans and milestones for operations in areas in the Gulf Coast that address the challenges field staff are likely to encounter in conducting address canvassing and subsequent decennial operations in communities affected by the hurricanes.

Webcomic OTD: Beliefs vs Evidence
It's a while since I branched out to new webcomics. Any recommendations?
It's a while since I branched out to new webcomics. Any recommendations?
With the (non)efficacy of homeopathy making the news again (with rumblings that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is considering delisting various homeopathic remedies), I was reminded – after I wondered how in hell they got listed by the TGA in the first place – of a post I first published four years ago:
Any explanation of pink preference that is handed to children by the society they live in and only looks at the last hundred years, and calls itself "evolutionary psychology", is blatantly misunderstanding both words in its title.
Social hierarchies exist, but the idea that status is clear-cut, obvious and carries across all social interactions in a social grouping is a myth.
If "Everyone's entitled to their opinion" just means no-one has the right to stop people thinking and saying whatever they want, then the statement is true, but fairly trivial. But…
When skeptics start questioning the scientific basis for the Burzynski Clinic's highly expensive "antineoplaston" cancer therapy, that's the time that you are supposed to offer proof of therapeutic benefit. Issuing threats instead tends to make it look like the Burzynski Clinic just doesn't have any proofs to offer.
There's been an uptick over the last few weeks in site visitors clicking on links to Anti-Feminist Bingo and Anti-Feminist Bingo #2 – since comments on those posts have been long closed, I invite you to comment here instead, should you feel so inclined.
Every few months I read about some turds dropped by this evolutionary psychologist and his penchant for spectacularly prejudiced Just So stories. This week he let us know that he's absolutely sure that the whole world agrees with him that black women are "objectively" uglier than other women.

AmericaŌĆÖs Republican extremists
The United States is in grave danger from domestic enemies:┬Ā Infiltrators from the Muslim Brotherhood have wormed their way into sensitive government positions, Communists wield influence in the House of Representatives, and President Barack Obama hates America and is trying to dismantle, brick by brick, the American Dream.
The first two assertions ŌĆō Muslim infiltrators and Communists in Congress ŌĆō come from Republican members of Congress. The third comes from the host of the radio talk show with the biggest audience in the United States. All three merit pondering about the current state of the Republican Party, a mainstay of American democracy for more than 150 years.
A brief look at the details of the claims first. In June, Michele Bachmann, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a radio interview that ŌĆ£it appears there has been deep penetration in the halls of our United States government by the Muslim Brotherhood.ŌĆØ In letters that came to light in mid-July, she asked the inspectors general of four government departments to launch inquiries into the depth of Muslim penetration.
BachmannŌĆÖs letter to the Department of State pointed to Huma Abedin, a top aide of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as grounds for ŌĆ£serious security concerns.ŌĆØ The letter, co-signed by four other Republican lawmakers, quoted an anti-Muslim organization as saying Abedin had family members with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
That claim prompted angry rebukes from the man who ran her unsuccessful campaign for the presidency, Ed Rollins, and from Senator John McCain, the Republican PartyŌĆÖs presidential nominee in 2008. Rollins, a veteran Republican strategist, combined criticism of BachmannŌĆÖs ŌĆ£far-fetchedŌĆØ charges with a warning about the future of the party: ŌĆ£The Republican PartyŌĆ" is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate.ŌĆØ
BachmannŌĆÖs root-out-the-Muslims campaign came just two months after Allan West, a Florida Republican, told a town hall meeting that ŌĆ£I believe there are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party (in Congress) that are members of the Communist Party.ŌĆØ Republican leaders let that statement pass without comment.
For two of the countryŌĆÖs most eminent Congressional historians, Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, WestŌĆÖs claim provided evidence that the Republican Party has gone astray. In an op-ed article in April, the two noted the lack of condemnation from major party figures. What was remarkable about the case, they said, ŌĆ£is that such extreme remarks and views are now taken for granted.ŌĆØ
For other extreme views, letŌĆÖs turn to talk show host Rush Limbaugh on July 16:┬Ā ŌĆØI think it can now be said, without equivocation ŌĆō without equivocation ŌĆō that this man hates his country. He is trying ŌĆō Barack Obama is trying ŌĆō to dismantle, brick by brick, the American dream.ŌĆØ Why? ŌĆ£He was indoctrinated as a child. His father was a communist. His mother was a leftist.ŌĆØ
Limbaugh has an average weekly audience of around 15 million, more than any other radio talk show and no matter how over-the-top his attacks on Obama and his team may be, they very rarely draw comment from Republican politicians who fear doing so might cost them votes.
Particularly in an election year, itŌĆÖs not unusual for members of Congress or commentators to make outrageous remarks about the political opposition. Democrats were harshly critical of President George W. Bush. But there is no exact Democratic equivalent of the likes of West, Bachmann, Limbaugh and others who vent ideas that were once restricted to the lunatic fringe and are now part of the Republican mainstream.
To help understand how U.S. politics arrived at this stage, and the dysfunction that goes with it, a new book by Mann and Ornstein entitled ItŌĆÖs Even Worse Than It Looks is recommended reading. The two work for think tanks on different places on the political map ŌĆō Mann for the centrist Brookings Institution and Ornstein for the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Their conclusion: ŌĆ£TheŌĆ" core of the problem lies with the Republican Party. The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£More loyal to party than to country,ŌĆØ the Republicans behave like an adversarial party in a parliamentary democracy. In AmericaŌĆÖs separation-of-powers government, this is a formula for ŌĆ£willful obstruction and policy irresolution,ŌĆØ write Mann and Ornstein.
The two criticize the U.S. mainstream media for having done a poor job in explaining the transformation of the Republican Party and its steady rightward drift to a place where compromise is a dirty word. They argue that the journalistic tradition of giving both sides of a story produced false equivalence and thus failed to portray an accurate picture.
But in the end, they say, itŌĆÖs up to the voters. If they punish ideological extremism at the polls next November, the Republican Party would have an incentive to return to the center. ŌĆ£Otherwise, our politics will get worse before it gets better.ŌĆØ

If a pet deer going missing after a dog attack wasn't bad enough, Sally Kerse has now been targeted by a scammer after notifying her loss on an internet pet website.
Ruby the fallow deer went missing after escaping her Dairy Flat paddock while trying to avoid an attack by two dogs.
Two lambs and a kune kune pig in the same paddock were unharmed.
One dog was caught.
But one of two fallow deer leapt the fence with the other dog, a fox terrier, in pursuit. They both disappeared.
After a couple of days the terrier returned, but 10-month-old Ruby hasn't been seen since.
She was hand-raised from a day-old fawn by the family, including daughter Hannah who has multiple sclerosis and is wheelchair-bound.
So Sally is anxious to find Ruby.
After putting her in the Pets on the Net lost pet section, they were thrilled to get an email from 'Mary' who said she might have found Ruby.
'Mary' said she had just moved house and had found a deer in the back of the removal truck when they arrived in Invercargill from Silverdale.
That seemed odd to Sally but she was happy to organise transport for Ruby to come home.
'Mary' told her it would cost $300.
After several attempts to get more information Sally became suspicious.
Mary's cellphone number didn't work, and she couldn't be reached except by email as she said she was bedridden after surgery.
English and grammar in her emails were poor and her story changed to include that as she was recovering from surgery she had flown to Invercargill to meet the removal truck.
When Sally arranged for the son of a neighbour to pick up the animal in Invercargill, 'Mary' wouldn't give her the address and insisted they'd agreed on paid transport.
It then became clear Sally was the target of a pet scam.
The Pets on the Net website includes a police warning about scammers targeting owners of lost animals and animals for sale, and gives advice on how to recognise them. The website has a rundown of scammer examples they've come across and asks for people to advise them if they are targeted.
Signs included asking for animal transport payment, poor English and grammar, foreign email addresses and a missionary or charity type 'sob story' angle, as well as suggesting Western Union or other irreversible money payment.
Police say owners of lost pets should always see the found animal face to face and not hand over money prior.
Sally wonders how many people have been taken in by the scammers and lost money.
Meanwhile, she is still looking for her beloved Ruby and is distributing flyers through schools and rural areas.

When the air turns toxic
- Published: 19/01/2013 at 12:00 AM
- Newspaper section: News
The ghost-like appearance of Beijing and many other Chinese cities as they became shrouded in a toxic smog with particulate levels 25 times higher than safe limits last week was a scary reminder of the fate awaiting countries that fail to take their air quality seriously. A fate that was graphically illustrated by a recent Beijing university study which estimated that the number of people dying prematurely as a result of air pollution in four of China's major cities was close to three times the number killed in traffic accidents.
While weather patterns may have played a part, much of the blame for the chronic air pollution must lie with unregulated industrial development and rapid urbanisation which has spawned an excess of motor vehicles, the proliferation of coal-fired power plants and a consequent increase in the number of people seeking medical treatment for bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory ailments. But these are not the only factors involved in producing dangerous levels of particulate matter and poor air quality.
Those living in the north of Thailand will have looked at the images of haze blanketing Beijing with a particular sense of foreboding because they know they will face a similar ordeal in the coming weeks as farmers burn off fields, leaves, rice straw, rubbish, grasses and other crop residue ahead of the next planting season. Blazes are also set by hunters to flush out wild animals.
It is an intolerable situation for those living in and visiting the North and hospitals are swamped with victims of the acrid smoke, mainly suffering from respiratory problems and eye inflammation.
Every year history repeats itself. Health and forestry officials promise a new campaign to convince landowners not to burn forests, rubbish or grass but this fails because it involves changing their traditional way of doing things. It is a practice used around the world as a quick and inexpensive way to clear the land for the next crop, returning valuable nutrients to the soil in the form of inorganic ash, and cleansing the land of weeds, pests and diseases. Acceptable alternatives to achieve similar results do exist and education coupled with a well thought-out incentive scheme would be more productive than levying fines that are rarely paid. But such programmes need to be implemented before the burn-offs begin.
While burn-offs are seasonal, Bangkok's unremittingly poor air quality is not. Nor is it about to improve. Instead, the Pollution Control Department has warned that it will deteriorate significantly due to a dramatic increase in the number of private cars in the city. The prediction is based on the department's 2011 survey of the level of benzene detected by four air quality measurement stations in the Din Daeng, Pathumwan, Wang Thonglang and Thon Buri areas. Benzene is a known carcinogen used as an additive in petroleum products. A follow-up survey has found that its level in the capital's air is still far above what it should be.
Yet there is a positive side to all this. Air quality in Bangkok is not quite as bad as it was in the years before leaded petrol was outlawed, the skytrain and subway brought on line and LPG and CNG adopted as taxi and bus fuels. Gasohol, while marketed as a "green" fuel, brought with it its own set of problems, but has since won acceptance. At least the filthy brown cloud, which during rush hours blotted out the sun, has turned light grey and the skies are blue again. But we still have a long way to go before we gain the moral right to criticise what China has done to its air. Let us at least hope that we can learn from Beijing's mistakes, as well as our own.

Traditional British downpour for ancient Stonehenge midsummer rituals
Traditional British weather was unable to dampen the spirits of 18,000 revellers who thronged Stonehenge at dawn today to celebrate the summer solstice.
Clouds blocked out the sight of the sun rising in line with the ancient stone circle at 4.51am.
But dawn on the longest day of the year was nevertheless greeted by ecstatic cheers from the crowd.
An eclectic mix of devoted neo-pagans, travelling eco-warriors, party-goers and curious onlookers shrugged off the rain to converge on the monument, near Amesbury, for a night of singing and dancing.
The festivities, which included two pagan marriage ceremonies, were led by the self-styled King Arthur Pendragon, a veteran Druid...

Damn, miss those days. It's cold and raining here, but I got the HAMB to make me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks Ryan.
Outstanding stuff. I usually don't care much for trailer photos, but these bring back some great memories just from looking at the names on those cars. Thanks, Josh.
I'm not a fan of open-wheel racing but the technology on display is fantastic. Also cool to see a Caddy pulling a sprint car. Thanks.
What a great slice of racing history ... if only we could turn back the clock. Great shots of the cars and support vehicles, etc. I'd love to see more photos of the Ford COE gas transport in the shot with the #2 Jimmy McElreath car.
Smokin pix, love sprints and have had some great history as a fan of them. I am going to see the World of Outlaws Fri. nite the 27th @ Eagle Raceway near Lincoln, Ne. Thanx for sharing these awesome vintage pix. ~sololobo~
Incredible clarity and color. Love the feel of these shots. The subjects are very cool, but so is the background. Thanks for sharing!!!
Little did we know-that someday the Offenhauser would be gone. I'd give anything to be able to sit in that grandstand and HEAR that pack run down the straight and into the corner. As far as cost back then, the primary difference was that there were no sponsors buying 18 wheelers to haul the cars-the owners all had SEVERAL large in those cars with their $10000 engines.
I was around those cars as a little kid to the point of even sitting in a running Offy powered car warming up when I was my sons age. It was a magical time.
Circle track raced on and off for 20 years. I just loved it! Them cars were before my time, but looked so fun and simple! Thanks for the heads up on these great old pics!
took a group of hambers to visit this shop just this past saturday. everyone had a great time. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=571188
Amazing photos! My dad has spoken of going to the races in Duquoin before back in the day. He used to race sprints on short tracks that looked a lot like these cars during the same era.
Take notice of all of the two wheel trailers, that's the way everyone went back then. In the early days of drag racing you either drove your car to the track or flat towed it behind the family car. Most people could not afford two cars and a race car to.
Wow, reminds me of when I was a kid. Great to see NO enclosed trailers and cool tow vehicles. The cars were all still full race cars without all the frills. Seeing these things going down the hi-way used to get us all charged up to get to the Speedway. Great stuff, need more......
Damn those cars are so beautiful. Parnelli's indy Ford powered car is a work of art. It looks WAY ahead of the others in technology. Do any of those cars still exist? (Josh)...?

On my 3rd Maxx HD
So I Picked up the Maxx HD at 9 am on the 18th. Took it to work and started setting it up. It had a software issue where everytime I reset the phone it did a factory reset. so I took it back that afternoon and swapped out for a new Maxx HD.
I got it home and noticed that the kevlar had a small bump on it, so on my lunch break I took it to the Verizon store and showed the manager (Theresa). I explained to her that I paid retail for the phone and did not want to try and fix it myself because I did not want to damage the phone. So she takes the phone from me and goes in the back. Comes back 5 minutes later and said they fixed the bump and hands me the phone. To my horror they took a razor blade and sliced it off. I was shocked. There was a hole in my phone where once I had a bump.
I told here that would not work and the manager (Theresa) kept saying that it was fine and if I was upset I could return it within 14 days but for now just buy a case and put it on my phone. I explained to her that I sell my phones after I am done with them and this would effect the price. She disagreed and said its so small no one will notice. I did not have my receipt or box with me so I could not do a refund at that time. I asked two other employees in front of her and they both agrees that the hole was not acceptable, but she just kept disagreeing and trying to sell me a case. So I brought the case, and told her I would go home and come back and do a refund. She scolded me in the store and told me I should give it a try the way it is.....What am I 12.
I leave the store and start driving home and look down at the case and she sold me one for the HD not the Maxx HD. WOW
So I was half way home turned around and went back and had to make the exchange.
So I called 611 to see if they could help resolve the issue, The lady on the phone was very helpful but said the store that damaged the phone would have to replace it. She even called the store and spoke with the manager (Theresa) who gave the phone agent the same story. So when the phone agent gets on the phone with me after being on hold she apologizes and tells me the she is floored at how the manager is acting and reported her and escalated the issue. They found another Verizon store in my area and worked out the exchange. They even called me back to make sure everything was resolved and the I had gotten a new phone.
I ended up taking the phone to a Verizon kiosk in BJ's after calling 611 and escalating the issue, and the did a full exchange and gave me a new phone.
Finally I have my phone and it is set up and evrything is good with the world... -

Glad it worked out well for you but I'll bet these horror stories occur far more often than we realize. - 10-20-2012, 10:05 AM #4
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Dang that's horrible. You can do others a favor by twittering that or writing a letter to Verizon about that manager
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Damn, that's bad luck right there. Never had a new phone that had a zit on its back. Bacne?

Wow!! That's terrible. That manager should be fired. Absolutely ridiculous!!
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
was this a corporate store or an agent?
also, what type of bump was it? - 10-20-2012, 12:03 PM #8
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Thats amazing....she took a razor blade to the phone and said that its fine, even after you explained you didnt wanna try to do it and damage it yourself. She went ahead and damaged it for you...
I hope she understands just because its called a RAZR...doesnt mean it ok to use razor blades on the phone. I consider myself extremely lucky cuz I mainly get my phones delivered and I had only 1 major problem since 2008. One phone had a bad ESN. - 10-20-2012, 12:06 PM #9
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Where is this store located? Maybe you can prevents from going into that store. Oh never mind I see that you're in Richmond, Va. Good thing you're patient I would've punched her in the throat for taking a blade to my phone.

Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
I am shocked at the ego and stupidity of the manager that this is all I can say for now. Sorry to hear man that is completely f-ing unacceptable. The reason is that their district managers are aiming to meet store metrics and need to minimize returns so this leads to this behavior.

Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
I'm going to ask the same question as someone above. Was it an Authorized Retailer or an actual Corporate Verizon Store? That makes a difference people. Do not go to Authorized dealers or agents. They'll will rip you off and treat you like crap after the sale because they purchase the phones just like you and I. Once they hand it to you as far as their concerned they are done with you.

It was like a piece of sand under the Kevlar near the volume rocker. The store is located on the 7700 block of Broad street in Richmond VA.

Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
It was a corporate store...I would never go to an authorized dealer. The guy at the Verizon in BJ's told me a story about a woman that came to their kiosk and was having a problem with her phone. When he looked up her account she had three lines. She was an older person and was going to the Verizon store close to her house every time she had an issue. It was an authorized dealer and they just kept selling her a new phone each time she went in and so she had 1 phone and 3 lines.....

Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Former AT&T Mobility CSR here.
From experience, I can tell you that the Verizon CSR did an AMAZING job. I can't begin to express how much trouble that rep went through to help you out. I have had a few bad experiences dealing with retail representatives over the phone, but none as unpleasant as yours. Many kudos to the VZW rep for orchestrating everything just to get you a new phone, knowing the whole time her job performance is judged on the average time of her customer interactions (among other things). If you get a survey callback of some sort, leave extremely positive feedback for her.
Theresa deserves to have her **** cooked. I'm professionally and personally appalled at what happened in the store.
My 2 cents. - 10-21-2012, 06:16 AM Thread Author #20
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
Yea.....I rarely deal with Verizon in store. Not because I think they suck in store, but because its easier for me to use online or call over the phone.
They way they treated me over the phone is the reason why I'm still with them. They looked out for me when they didnt have to, let my bill go way past due and still keep service. Billed the Droid X1 to my account at retail and they didnt press me to pay it off quick. I think they let me stretch it out over 3-4 months. In one store they did try to look out for me when the Motorola E815 was out. Charging piece in the phone was broke, I didnt have insurance and if I still had the piece they woulda charged $50 to have it fixed. I learned then that insurance might be my friend going forward. - 10-21-2012, 10:58 AM #22
Re: On my 3rd Maxx HD
I had Verizon replace my Maxx HD because the radio kept dropping it's data signal everywhere I went. It was even doing it in store so a replacement was in order and I was given one without a hassle. I dealt with the same representative who signed me up for Verizon and a BlackBerry Storm years ago and it was the same easy experience. This time, however, my HD Maxx is not dropping signal like it used to and it's a more solid experience. After my experience with the original Maxx, I was getting a bit worried but it's all good now.

The Final 'Happy Feet Two' Trailer
Posted on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
With only a few days until Happy Feet Two is released in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D, it seems kind of odd that Warner Bros. would release a brand new trailer. Then again, they must think they have a huge hill to climb this weekend considering they're opening versus The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. While that will most certainly win the weekend, possibly in record setting fashion, Happy Feet Two has one major thing going for it. It looks like it might actually be good. So, if you're on the fence of which major release to see this weekend, maybe this brand new, final trailer will send you on a march to the penguins. Check it out after the jump. Read More »

Technological integration through customer relationship management (CRM) platforms is becoming increasingly important as banks broaden their presence across LatAm.
Increased efficiency, a 23% jump in sales, automated credit processes and quicker responses to customer care claims. These are some of the results from Banco de Chile's implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy to consolidate its business processes onto a single branch platform. The move has provided the bank with an enhanced competitive advantage in the South American banking market.
"We feel we have improved control over finance and accounting, management and human resource processes by integrating the system with our enterprise software," observes Arturo Tagle, chief executive officer at Banco de Chile, the country's largest bank.
CRM initiatives are sweeping Latin America as banks broaden their presence throughout a region that is watching the ranks of the middle class swell and where technological integration is becoming increasingly important. But integration is just one part of the equation. Systems must also be able...

Contact Designer
100% made in Italy
Collection – FW 2012
Fashion Films
The fundamental education, real connection between theory and practice let the brand's designer Sasha Trofymenko make a serious claim among Ukrainian designers at the very beginning of his career.A clear understanding of the strategy of the trademark's development, a selective attitude to the ways of promoting the brand, the Western school of the cuts, cloth and quality are the main "whales" that let him differ from others and compete with others.
His life and work take place between the Italian Sardinia and Kiev. Today there are 5 years of studying in one of the most prestigious Italian fashion universities Istituto di Moda Burgo behind Sasha's shoulders, practicing with Roberto Cavalli. The very debut of Sasha Trofymenko took place last fall, exactly by that time he presented his full collection of the first women's wear line under the TROFYMENKO brand in the framework of MBKFD in Ukraine.After the show a lot of mass media called Sasha the opening of the year.Alla Kostromicheva has become the first top-model who presented the brand and opened the show.

how would it affect her to take another one 8mg strip should she get better or worse
Suboxone - if a friend of mine has taken one 8mg strip and it hasnt done anything for her how would?

Suboxone can take up to 2 hours to take full effect. If your friend is totally free of all opiates, especially methadone for at least 24 hours and has waited 2 full hours before judging it to not be working, the person should try a PIECE of a second film, not a whole one. I hope this person is not expecting to get high, it simply stops withdrawal and blocks opiates, it won't get them high. If this person has any opiate on their brain receptor sites, they will go into really bad withdrawal. A person must be free from the long acting effects of methadone for at least 48 hours to not go into precip. Subs starts working in 20 to 45 minutes, wait 2 hours for full relief.
No she is deffantly not wanting 2 get high she has been on at least 11-12 30mg of roxys a day and is wanting 2 kick that devil off her back but about 30min after she took the strip she started 2 go through really bad withdraw symptoms. She said that she had 2 wait 2 take one till she was sick and she did but I don't think she waited long enough she said it had been 6 hours since she had last doesed herself when she took the strip. She really badly wants to get off the roxys and we both have friends that said that this wrks to do that and I don't want her to go back to that other stuff because of one bad try of this. Is there anything that she can do to relieve the pain and suffering and discomfort she is having. Thanks in advanace-y4me
Unfortunately, she is going to have to wait it out. She did NOT wait long enough after taking her last opiate, she should have waited about 24 hours. Not judging here, I promise, she should have gone the legal route to get the suboxone, or at least looked it up first before taking it. I am so sorry she is sick and will be for a bit longer. Tell her NOT to take any more until she has waited at least 24 hours. I will try to explain this as simply as I can, suboxone is a huge molecule that is supposed to sit on the receptor site, there already was opiate sitting on the site and it literally is fighting that opiate to try and unseat it, therefore Precipitating ( dropping) both meds out of the brain, therefore no relief is available. She needs to wait before taking anymore and do some research in the meantime. Look the medication up here, on the suboxone.com website and in wikipedia, if she is too sick, do it for her please and tell her to sit tight no matter how hard it is.

My advice would be to NOT take another let it take effect first, I took the same strip yesterday but cut it in half, placed it under my tongue and let it dissolve I didn't think it worked so I took the other half (so I ended up taking the whole 8mg/2 strip) and boy did I regret it after 30 of it dissolving I threw up everytime I ate, drank, or smoked a cig. Their meant 2 be taken when ur withdrawls are bad not to get high, i'd be careful if I was her I found out the hard way like always. Be careful and God Bless
