Adelina's FS (?)
The short program I can deal with but I have nothing positive to say about the long program
Actually, the first few jumps were fine; it went downhill with the axels (two in short time after each other) and then she probably lost confidence. I have to say, since last season she has completely different body than she had the last year at junior level when she won everything she entered, and it seems that she still didn't manage to adjust to her new body. It started last season with having some problems with jumps - she was still landing most of them, but with the same success rate as before (before it was very close to 100% success rate, whereas last season it was much lower). I was hoping that one season will be enough to adjust, but ... And the FS program is not very nice. Who gave her THIS? Probably too late to change it now.
You are wrong. In the season 2010-2011 Adelina Sotnikova won everything she entered. She won both JGP events (in Austria and the U.K.), then she beat Liza Tuktamysheva in Junior Grand Prix Final (Adelina was first, Liza was second). Then Adelina managed to win the senior Russian championships (Liza was third there) and then Adelina won Junior Worlds, beating again Liza who was second. That season Adelina won every event she entered.
Unfortunately when she came back after summer for the season 2011-2012, she grew and she suddenly had completely different body. Not fat, but puberty made her a bit more rounded. Then she started missing some jumps and Liza was more successful that season. As you said, Adelina was third in both GP events and then she was first substitute for GPF (unfortunately Mao withdrew too late), whereas Liza won both her GP events and qualified to GP finale. Adelina did manage to beat Liza at senior Russian championships (Liza was 6th). And Liza also made a bit of mess from the GPF. she had a good chance to win it if she skate the same way she skated at the GP events, but she didn't.
I have always liked both of them. Adelina has a great power, good speed and good coverage. But it looks like the puberty is robbing her of her jumps at the moment. I hope she will get them solid again. she is very talented. Liza was slower and did not have the power and coverage, although she is a lovely skater to watch. From what I saw her programs from July, it seems that she has worked really hard on her speed and coverage. I am really looking forward seeing her this season.

"It's not for me. Loved it anyway."
Closet 50-year old-white-male fan here. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because there's a little too much teenage lip-meeting, hand-holding and waist-caressing going on for my taste. But the overall premise and storytelling is great. I devoured the second book right after I cruised through this one. Want. Third. Book. Now.
"A series of blog posts does not a book make."
Listy, redundant and padded with common-sense that is more common than sensible, this book falls flat. Sure, there are some good ideas here, and some solid advice. But the good is overshadowed by the bad editing and lack of any kind of narrative. Mr. Babuta would have done better to cite some other experts on the subject while delivering some real-world examples and success stories. Instead, what we get is a lot of his own opinions base on his own experiences, many of which contradict one another. Perhaps most aggravating of all is the fact that the author spends only a little time supporting the title's premise and then goes off on tangents of dieting advice and decluttering one's desk.
"I thought I was getting a book on the future."
Instead I got a chronicle of smaller, faster, lighter, cheaper things, the vast majority of which I had already known about. A complete waste of my time and money.
"Jon Steel is a good storyteller."
There are a number of great anecdotes and interesting stories in this book. On top of that, as an ad person, I found plenty of good advice here. I would have paid hundreds of dollars for these pearls.
"Jon Acuff is Worth Listening To"
I find Mr. Acuff's stories and examples rather compelling. This is all good advice, laid out in an easy-to-digest format. (I also liked the fact that he did not shove his Christianity down the reader's throat like his boss Dave Ramsey does.) I liked it so much I listened to it twice in a row.
"The meddling kids with the dog solve it."
King's storytelling is so approachable and infectious that one easily can overlook the minor play kinks. I wish there had a little more spine chilling ghost action, but overall, I really enjoyed this piece.
"It's not as easy as it looks, eh?"
The first-person perspective of this book is priceless, and the tips for powering through weight loss without losing your mind (like all battles, weight loss is partly mental) are also quite valuable. Thanks for being the human Guinea pig, Drew.
"Douglas Adams Twin?"
The subject matter, style and no-holds-barred whimsey of this book reminds me so much of Adams, I have a hard time thinking that the two were not drinking buddies or something. Hodgman's performance is stellar.
"One Tolkien over the line"
I had never read Tolkien as a kid. I thought it was time, after being bombarded with Hobbit references, to rectify that fact. The Hobbit is a quick scan and a fun, imaginative story, well told.
"Where can I get a blue space suit?"
Okay, now I'm more paranoid than ever that humanity will be ravaged by a super virus. This book is gripping. Not just because the story is true, but because it is extremely well told.
"I've taken the oath."
I loved everything about this book. The characters were interesting and likable/hatable. The story was well told, with plenty of unexpected twists and fresh ideas. I really like the alternative history meets science fiction/fantasy convention. I was sad that it ended, but glad to know there was another book in the series. I will gobble that one up very soon.
I personally pledge allegiance to the Grimnoir.
Also, I want to say something about Bronson Pinchot. The guy is an amazing, amazing narrator. Sure, he was fun to watch on TV and in the movies. But reading books like this one, as well as others (Matterhorn springs to mind) seems, to me at least, to be the ideal expression of his particular performer's genius. He is working his butt off here and as a listener, I can't thank him enough. He can create a dozen characters, male and female, and each one stands on their own sonic merits. I work in the audio medium from time to time and I know how difficult such a thing is to accomplish, and I just have to say, bravo, Mr. Pinchot. You make it look/sound easy.

Corner of 8th Street and Munson Avenue
Traverse City Michigan 49684
United States(231) 313-0100
Midwest Living Review
Walk-around food ranks as a key element in the culinary scene of any resort area, and Bill Walker's pasties add a unique Michigan flavor to the Traverse City menu.
Brought to northern Michigan as a lunch-box staple of 19th-century Cornish immigrant miners, pasties remain a hearty, incredibly filling regional treat that many visitors look forward to sampling. In his bright yellow trailer along M-72 in east Traverse City, Bill Walker crafts particularly juicy, delicious versions of the half-moon meat-and-potato (and rutabaga) pies. Bill, who founded one of the city's first brewpubs in the 90s, now keeps his hand in the food industry using a recipe from his Upper Peninsula family. His plan is to hook first-timers with a hot pasty, then send them home with a cooler full of the frozen pies. For $5 you get a pasty and all the napkins needed.

Phillies look to keep rolling in finale vs. Astros
McHugh gets call for Houston while Philadelphia seeks sweep
For the most part, success for the Astros in 2014 has come by way of effective starting pitching.
The Astros entered Wednesday with a 5-3 record in their previous eight games. Houston starters had posted a 2.05 ERA in those eight games and had allowed three runs or fewer in eight consecutive games prior to Brad Peacock struggling Wednesday.
"I said this earlier in the year. In May, when we went on that really good stretch and played good baseball, I felt like it started with our starting pitching," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "You look at the numbers, it will tell you that. When you start to get your starter to go deep into games, it limits the number of outs the bullpen has to record and you're able to match those guys the way you'd like and no one is overextending. No one's being used too much and being asked to cover 10, 11 outs any given night."
But right-hander Collin McHugh, who will get the start for the Astros on Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park, is proving to be an exception to effective starting pitching translating into wins in Houston. McHugh has been far from lights out recently, with a 4.20 ERA in hist last eight starts, but equally not deserving of the 0-6 record he owns during that span. The Astros averaged an anemic 1.33 runs per game in those six losses.
Despite his 4-9 record, McHugh's overall numbers are solid. He has a 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP this season, and is among the AL leaders in both opponents' batting average (.203) and strikeouts with 102 strikeouts in 88 2/3 innings. He'll be searching for his first win since June 3.
Meanwhile, Roberto Hernandez, fresh off his best outing of 2014, was to get the nod for the Phillies, but he was traded to the Dodgers just hours before game time for two players to be named later.
Phillies: Franco unlikely to be called up before September
Maikel Franco is swinging a hot bat in Triple-A, but Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said he doesn't expect the third baseman to join the big league club before rosters expand in September.
Entering Wednesday, Franco, the organization's No. 3 prospect according to MLB.com, had 13 hits, including three home runs, and nine RBIs over his last 10 games with Lehigh Valley. Franco, 21, has a .325/.357/.600 slash line over that period.
Sandberg said Wednesday that Franco "is making some strides," but added that management has not discussed a promotion.
For now, the Phillies would prefer Franco to play regularly in Triple-A, as opposed to limited at-bats in the Majors. Cody Asche, 24, is the Phils' primary third baseman and also needs playing time.
"I think it's beneficial right now that [Franco] plays as much as he can play, no question about it," Sandberg said. "Just for the experience and the at-bats and for development. The more he can play the better."
Astros: Springer has setback with quad
The Astros hoped to have rookie slugger George Springer back in time for Friday's contest. Now, they're not sure when he'll be back in the Majors.
During his Minor League rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Quad Cities, Springer tweaked the strained left quad that has kept him on the disabled list since July 20. He will return to Houston to be re-evaluated, according to Astros manager Bo Porter.
"He hit a double and felt it a little bit in his quad, and for precautionary reasons we went ahead and pulled him out of the game," Porter said after his team's 10-3 loss Wednesday.
Springer was hitting .231 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs in 78 games since being called up in the middle of April. He was the American League Rookie of the Month in May
Worth noting:
• Wednesday night's win gave Philadelphia back-to-back series wins at home for the first time since Sept. 6-18, 2013, when they won three straight sets at Citizens Bank Park.
• The Phillies have won each of their last six games against the Astros at Citizens Bank Park since April 1, 2011, which is their longest home winning streak over the Astros since an eight-game stretch from July 29, 1980 to Aug. 23, 1981.

BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS -- Ever since Verizon discontinued service in my area and sold out to Frontier, my problems have been neverending. Poor quality phone and internet service, bad customer service, erratic service visits and problems only temporarily fixed are just the beginning.
Today the last straw: I called yesterday to report (again) no dial tone on my landline and subsequently no DSL internet service now. Was told someone will show up anytime from morning to evening. She couldn't say when because "technicians take the calls in the order they are received". Whatever. I waiting till afternoon and still no one showed up. Called to check. Lo and behold, my service request was never entered in their system so yet another day of no service from this no-service company.
Their cancellation fees are terrible so when this contract ends, I'm history. Never ever ever contract with Frontier Communications! They aren't kidding: its like being in the wild Frontier with them - you can't depend upon them.
REDMOND, WASHINGTON -- Being from India, I feel a bit embarrassed when people in this country ridicule outsourced customer support. Frontier however proves that these are nothing more than stereotypes. Incompetence just like every other quality transcends every possible human division. After being with Comcast for 4 years, I thought I'd switch to Frontier and save some money on their monthly plan by not having to pay for TV - I took local stations from Comcast, and would never watch it. It was working out to be 10 dollars cheaper switching to Frontier per month. Sounded like a good deal. I did not think much about being asked to wait 15 days, but decided that it would be worth saving 10 bucks on my monthly bill. I had Comcast disconnect me on the 18th of May, so that there would be no complications with going into their next billing cycle.
Frontier gave me an 8am to 8pm window for installation. No one showed up. I was at home the whole day with no TV or internet, since I had disconnected with Comcast. I had reminded Enrique (the person who took my installation order), at 5:30 P.M. on the 23rd about my installation. I also called at 5:30 P.M. on the 24th and expressed concern about nobody having shown up. I was informed that a technician named Brad was assigned my installation. His supervisor Leo (more about this guy later) was not picking up his phone. At 8:30p.m, I called again and got the machine. I left a message stating that if Brad or anybody else was unable to do the installation this day, I would like to cancel my order.
I got a voicemail the next morning from a lady who did not know anything about my order stating that she could not do anything about the message I had left last night without my name or order number - OK my bad. So I called them back to request cancelling my order. I was placed on hold for 5 minutes. The person on the phone was trying to get me to change my mind - the strategy was to tell me that I was not at home when the technician came by. Nice try.
I told him that I would have none of this BS, and that I just wanted to cancel the order so that I did not have to deal with these people again. He said he was unable to do that, and he gave me another number. So I had to call that number which was the usual customer help line and get the order cancelled. I was relieved for more reasons than just described :-
Their incompetence was apparent, when I signed up. I had spoken to Leo (the supervisor mentioned earlier) first about rate plans and contracts. He said 39.99 for a 15Mbps connection with no annual contract. He then asked me to call Enrique to place the order. Enrique informed me that Leo was wrong, and that there would be an annual contract, if I did not want to pay for the 139 dollar modem + a 20 dollar installation fee. I'm glad I escaped these people before I signed that contract.
I called back Comcast, and of course did not mention anything about Frontier. I told them that I was willing to take them back if they gave me a good deal. And sure enough, I got a sweet deal. 34.99 for 25 Mbps + 50 channels of TV for 6 months, and 54.99 for the next 6 months. I know I'll have to haggle with them after that. Perhaps get back my old 50 dollar plan for 15 Mbps + basic TV. But none of this would have materialized if I had not tried to jump ship in the first place.
Moral of the Story : Frontier sucks. Learn to haggle with Comcast - it's a good thing I grew up in India :)
MARION, NORTH CAROLINA -- On 4/18/13, I contacted Frontier due to static in our landline. I was told the repair would be done on 4/22/13. On 4/22, the line was dead. In the evening, I contacted them by chat again and was told they technician had "all night" to fix it (this was 530pm). Didn't get fixed.
On 4/23 I contacted them by chat again in the morning, and was told the repair would happen that day, and that representative would follow up with me at work to make sure it happened. No follow up, no fix. That evening, I chatted again with them at about 630pm. Was told the technician had until 8pm and they would definitely be there. Nothing.
We left for vacation on 4/24, but checked the phone several times with my cell phone, knowing if it is fixed, the answering machine at home will pick up. Nothing. On Friday 4/26, I was contacted on my cell phone, while on vacation, and told that the technician was eating lunch and as soon as he finished, they would get our service fixed. They had "escalated" this to try to get more priority. She said it would be fixed in 1-1.5 hours and she would follow up with me to make sure it was done. No follow up, not fixed. I contacted them later that night and was told that they had no date as to when it would be fixed and they didn't know why I was told earlier that it was to be done that day. I was transferred to the escalation department who, very rudely, told me it was escalated and that was all the information they could give me.
Sometime during the morning of 4/29 it was fixed. So we were without service for 11 days. It wasn't escalated until it had been 8 days, 4 days later than they said they would fix it.
On 4/30, I contacted someone to get credit for the 11 days without service. I was told the credit would be $11.16, which seemed fair. I cancelled the auto payment on my account so I could make sure they didn't take the full amount. On 5/2, even though autopayment was cancelled, they took the full amount of the payment. I was told because I didn't take my card off, even though autopayment wasn't authorized anymore, they could still pull my payment. I was also told the credit was still pending. Not at all what I was told just two days earlier. I was told that credit, plus the credit for the remaining time, since we were transferring service to another company, would be mailed in 14-21 days. Now I have no doubt at all that will get screwed up totally and we will not get back the right amount.
Funny but several people during conversations tried to sell me other services. I finally had to tell one of them, you have your nerve trying to sell me ANOTHER service when you can't fix the one you have. The last lady even asked WHY we were transferring service. HELLO...11 days without service and you ask why? She offered me some deals to stay. NO WAY.
This has got to be the worst example of customer service and repair service of anything I have ever experienced. For a company with communications in their name, they lack any form of accurate or timely communications.
THORN HILL (GRAINGER COUNTY), TENNESSEE -- I'd like to express my complete and utter astonishment at the lack of, or maybe I should say extremely poor, customer service. I have never in my life dealt with a company with such disregard for the well being of their customers. I am so dissatisfied that I have now decided to make it my own personal mission to see to it that a company with better service finds this area you seem to have a monopoly on as someplace they would like to do business. I don't have time for such ventures, but I'll make time for this one, you seem to have such utter disregard for the hard earned money of your customers that I'm sure you won't miss a thousand users.
Explanation? Of course, not that I think you'll care, but I intend to tell this to everyone I talk to, so you might as well be the first.
I've had your service, phone, which I don't use, but am required to pay for in order to have DSL, which is the slowest in the country and barely surpasses satellite speeds, and in the package deal I took Dish Network for TV I rarely watch, for about 2 years now. The prices are exorbitant, especially since the only service I truly wanted was broadband internet. I'm a computer consultant and require a decent internet connection to do my job.
Unable to secure a better service at the time, I just accepted the poor performance, until this week. On Wed morning I noticed a definite crawl to my internet speeds, thinking through the basics I did a speed test, and found the connection less than half the normal rate with varying results between 200+kbps to 500+kbps... I contacted the tech support via phone and after going through the push 1,2,3 and so on, I was told they were having issues in my area and working on a resolution...
OK... shrugged it off and went back to work... Wed evening I discovered it was still crawling, and logged in, this time via your web site, live chat... this technician could find no reason for the slow down, we went through various troubleshooting issues, including the elimination of my router and all computers accept one on my network, even tested a second system directly to the modem, to insure that it was not a problem on my computer...
No change, speeds crawling... he issued a trouble ticket and told me that a technician would take care of it tomorrow (Thurs the 18th). OK, I wasn't told I needed to be here, and figuring according to the tech's troubleshooting that it wasn't in my lines in the home, or in my modem, which was responding with all the proper signals... so I went to work... as I said earlier I don't use my home phone, never answer it and I informed the tech support of this and gave them my cell number, and told them if they would give me 30 minutes notice on that line I would be here if they needed to get in the house. He said this was fine...
Thursday rolls around, I go to work, come home that evening, no call, I figured great, they found the problem and fixed it.... I get home, no deal, same slow crawl... reset the modem hoping it would take care of it after the repairs I was sure they had made... nope... logged in again... it was too late at nite on Thurs, so I had to wait until Friday morning... this tech, now I got smart enough to write down a name, not that it helped, could not find any trouble ticket from the day before, had no idea what I was talking about and started all over again with troubleshooting, even though I explained my expertise with PC's, and the fact that I was absolutely certain it was not in my system or my house wiring, enough so that I was willing to pay someone if I was wrong... he insisted on connecting via webex into my system, 'to get signal info from my modem' which I suggested that he just tell me what he wanted to know, since I only had a 10kbps upload speed and it would be a crawl... he insisted so we made the connection, he was obviously manning more than one support call at a time, and the delays between his actions were worsened by his inattention.
I sat her for 45 minutes while he pulled up a browser, logged into modem, and then proceeded to shut down running processes on my system without my OK in order to determine that it wasn't my system... this infuriated me when I could have logged into the modem and copied the entire signals page and typed it out to him in less than 5 mins, instead he nosed around in my computer and tied me up for almost an hour to determine that he was going to have to open another trouble ticket for the next day, Sat, the 20th... great... again I gave him my cell phone with instructions to call... After getting off the phone with him, I happened to go around the house to the other door and discovered that a tech had left a modem with sitting on the deep freeze, it has been raining here for a week non stop and he left it sitting on the freezer in the rain, this was left on Thursday when they didn't call to let me know anything... the note simply said, "no problem found, here's a modem, maybe it will help, you might need to program it" OK, I brought it in, luckily it was in plastic inside the soaked cardboard box, and had not gotten wet, just to be sure moisture was not an issue, I laid everything out and let it dry while I went to work on Friday... came home Friday evening and tried the new modem... same result... so having an open ticket I waited for Sat and hopefully a tech to solve the problem....
I waited until about 10 am on Sat the 20th and hadn't heard anything... checked the speed, same issue, I called to check the status of my trouble ticket, as I was told my Scott I could do, the lady informed me that she had no way of knowing rather they would be out am or pm and that she was in a call center in Florida.... lot of good that did me... I told her I needed to run some errands, but since this was going on the 4th day or problems I would also like to get this resolved, since I was paying over $100 to have internet that was crawling... she said she had no way of knowing... but gave me the 800 number to the local dispatch office... I called this number and got the most irritating person on the phone I have ever spoken with, if she was an employee of mine, I would have fired her immediately and probably put out a warning to never hire any of her descendants... she answered the phone: "dispatch" I told her my name and explained that I had a trouble ticket, but needed to go to town and run some errands, just wanted to know if the tech working my call would be doing it in the am or pm, so that I knew rather to go now or wait till he came by?
Instead of any sort of courtesy or acknowledgment of my question, she responded with: "who Gave you This Number?" I said I got it from the line trouble tech support call, she said "what was her name?" I told her I didn't write it down... I then proceeded to give her my home phone number to look up the ticket and the ticket number and all she said was "he's working on it now" that was all she was going to give me, so I resolved to wait... and wait... and wait some more... that started at 10 am, finally about 3:30 PM I decided to check the speeds again and call back and explain to miss congeniality that I would like an update... low and behold, the speeds were back up to normal... seems they must have found a problem some place and didn't even bother to call and see if everything was OK on this end, or to let me know I didn't need to sit around and waste the rest of my entire day waiting on the tech that never showed up!
Infuriated? Oh that word is no where near large enough. I'm going to give you the same service you gave me, I'll be pushing this letter to the desk of everyone I can get to read it!
Extremely dissatisfied customer!
Warning, if Frontier Communication tries to sell you on a new service, don't trust them. They will do anything for their own benefit.
In September Frontier hired a young college kid to come around and have all current customers re-sign contracts for an upgraded service. We had no reason to sign a contract, as we had already been with Frontier for four years. The sale person was persistent and stopped by our hose four days in a row. On the 4th day I thought maybe they were a utility person and they needed to inform me of work being done in the area. So I answered the door. Turns out it was a $200 mistake, as it was a Frontier Sales person whom blatantly lied to us, got us to sign a long term contract without us knowing, and screwed us on our current plan.
I had no interest in changing my service, but the sales person informed me that they needed to change my service to the new "digi" service. He assured me that it wouldn't cost me any more than my current bill. I was also told there were no long-term contracts, and I would have the same service I had before. Assuming the sales person was speaking the true, I agreed to change my service. He filled out paperwork and asked I sign the bottom. Little did I realize he had just done a bait and switch and had me sign on to a long-term contract?
Within one week my voicemail was canceled. I called up Frontier and asked why I had no voicemail; they informed me I didn't sign up for it. Voicemail would cost an additional fee, beyond what my original bill was. I informed Frontier the salesperson that stopped by the house had written that the service included voicemail on my paperwork. They wouldn't budge and informed me it would cost an additional cost. Not willing to argue, I decided to drop this issue and let is a lesson learned.
Fast forward to December 2008. With the economy the way it is, my wife and I decided we needed to cut expenses. We use our phone service very little and could cut cost by canceling the service. So I called up Frontier to cancel. I spoke to a customer service representative whom informed me that there would be a $50 charge. I asked to talk to a Manager, since the sales person whom stopped at my house just 4 months earlier informed me that there would be no early cancellation fee and no long-term contracts. After being put on hold for more than 15 minutes, the customer service lady asked if a manager could call me back. They were experiencing extremely high volume of calls. I agreed.
I waited for over one week and no call back. I call Frontier back and got a new customer service person. After explaining my situation again, I asked to speak with a Manager. This person was very nice and tried to get me a manager. She put me on hold for only 2 minutes and got back to me saying once again, they are experimenting high amounts of calls and could a manager call me. They were to call within a couple of hours and guaranteed a call back the same day.
The next day I still had no return call, by this time I am pissed. I call back and again ask for a manager. This time I get a rude customer service person that tells me that it was my fault for signing the contract and I should have read it. I informed her that I took Frontiers Sales person word that I was not signing a long-term contract. Why would Frontier knowingly send out an inexperienced sales person door to door to blatantly lie to customers? She continued to blame me and puts me on hold. After 5 minutes of holding I decided to hang up. I work and can't sit on hold all day long.
The following day my wife decided to call. She experienced another rude person whom wasn't helpful, wouldn't do anything, and put the blame on us?
Maybe I am wrong for assuming the salesperson would not lie to me. I can't believe a company like Frontier would hire salespeople, not train them well, and let them go out and lie to their long-term customers. Maybe they recognized many people would cut their service in the wake of the economy and thought lets have all old customers re-sign contracts so we can stick it to them if they cancel.
I would never recommend Frontier to anyone. Their customer service is one of the worst I have ever encountered. They would not listen to our side of the story. We were told time and again it was our fault for not reading the contract. Isn't this what they have sale people for? To explain what you are getting?
CONNECTICUT -- One of the many that were forced to change from AT&T to Frontier. Had trouble all the way back from the split between AT&T Uverse and Internet from combined billing. Had $500 slapped on our bill when the split occurred because they think we did not pay overdue cellphone bills, but because it was overdue and combined billing was splitting for some reason decided to transfer the balance to Internet and apparently the way their systems are set up cellphone services can't see that this transfer happened. Cell phone services told me I paid it and don't need to pay this again, Uverse tells me I didn't pay it and I have to pay this and if I paid them, to give them proof. When I provide evidence they tell me these payments were being all made a month behind and we still have one months worth left. They say $500 is what's left after I've paid the payments I provided evidence for and because I don't have evidence for paying this residual $500 balance, I must pay it because I didn't, getting all the while angry that I do not understand. Yes, we were behind but with all of the payments we made, I can't possibly wrap my head around how after paying $500 already, we have another $500 left to pay and how in the world one months worth is $500. I've been very stressed with this situation for a few months now trying to figure it out, also not having the financial capability to pay another $500 at the time.
I thought AT&T was bad. Most of Frontier Communications customer service was unwilling to even communicate. 9 out of 10 times, I would get a delinquent, uninterested, incompetent/unknowledgeable, customer representative that most of the time let me speak certainly were not listening or did not care as they simply refused any possibilities for credit on the account.
My worst experience was with a woman who after I told her my situation with my troubles with AT&T wireless and Internet and therefore this current balance with Frontier, she condescendingly and truly confrontational told me wireless is internet. When I told her when I said wireless I meant cell phone services she replied with, "Oh, well, you're wrong, these aren't cell phone charges these are internet charges." With the same delinquent attitude. Not only was she not listening she was expressing to me how much she could care less. She also made it clear to me that there would be no chance of any credit on this account and that, "You will pay the full $500" with the attitude that she had the final say, and there was nothing I could do about it. When she saw I was speechless she laughed out loud at me mockingly. And when I said okay, thank you, bye, because I had nothing left to say to her, she said bye still laughing. I am not exaggerating or fabricating any part of this conversation or situation, this is the way it happened nearly word for word, and I had never dealt with such an unprofessional "customer service representative".
After this was another series of calls with average 20 minute hold times, and each time I was given a different reason why they could not adjust the balance on my account, sometimes telling me the system would not let them or it was a policy not to adjust any balances after a customer had decided to disconnect, etc. I finally came across a sensible, competent, and kind woman whom upon hearing my situation almost immediately began to see what she could do, giving me a $50 credit within moments. Her actions proved to me the previous representatives I spoke to either did not know what they were doing, we're lying, or really just didn't care enough. Although a $50 credit is not exactly what I was looking for, it was better than nothing. I had lost too much time with phone calls and research into AT&T cellphone bills, previously combined bills, internet bills, and our bank statements that spanned the past year and trying to figure out what happened with this transition, how this transition was happening, what information each department had and did not have, and what went wrong where, when, and how with our account. We were also reluctant to get a lawyer to sue because we could not afford a lawyer at the moment as well. At this point, we just needed out and nothing to do with the companies, particularly Frontier Communications, seeing as the vast majority of customer service gave the impression they did not care about their customers and engaging in communication itself was a difficulty.
I don't know what went wrong and where with AT&T and Frontier communications, but something went wrong somewhere seeing the absolute mess that has happened since the switch in Connecticut.
I've paid what they asked for and am not coming back to Frontier Communications. However I do hope Frontier Communications clean up their act if anything for the consumers in my area including myself who do not have that many other options for Internet and most opt for Comcast, another big company that do not have the best reviews, so that competition may provide perhaps better service for both customers of Comcast and Frontier communications.
PULLMAN, WASHINGTON -- Let's rewind to when I first stumbled upon this company, it was on a Sunday, which technically they weren't supposed to be open, but whatever this means that I should have been one of the first people to have spoken about acquiring their services. I would say that I arrived in Pullman a week and a half before the semester was going to start. With that being said, if you're familiar with Washington State University, and as I'm almost positive, with many other Universities, there is a week of welcome when a majority of the returning students or new students arrive and get settled in, right? Now, back to why I'm upset with this company. I get everything set up, the sales associate was giving me his two-cents about why their service is great and how it's better than the competitors (that's not very hard to do), and I just needed an ISP that won't disconnect me, buffer when I want to stream, or go on Netflix. I was told that with the basic 7mbs connection it should be totally fine. Awesome, I get that, pay for it, they take MY money and then they tell me that my install date would be the Wednesday after next week. My initial reaction? What in the world? You take my money and then give me an install date in which I would have been attending classes for a few days? I said fine, whatever if anything sooner opens up let me know. A couple of days later, I call the main office for Frontier Communications, and I was told my install date would be MID SEPTEMBER. What's even worse is that my friend, who signed up for the SAME service was given a modem the day they signed up and was told their internet would be set up THAT THURSDAY. Long story short, I complained to the manager, to the main Frontier office, and demanded that they give me an install date that is before that semester starts. I was told someone would call me back later that day before 6PM Central Time Zone to give me a new install date. I never received that call. After over a week of trying to get a hold of someone, I get a call from the Sales Office in Pullman, and they tell me that my install date was changed back to that previous Wednesday date and that it was great that I got that install date. After all this crap, after all this waiting without internet to check online courses, check back in at home, etc. the internet was finally installed and I assumed that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. I'm paying for the 7mbs internet connection. So why am I getting 1.5mbs delegated between three people and over 6 mobile devices? I have never been so disgusted to do business with a company, but I have no other choice, it's this company or a very VERY similar company that is more expensive. As soon as Fall and Spring Semester is over, I'm going to cancel services and attempt to get Xfinity to Pullman.
WEST VIRGINIA -- Upon first calling to set up new service, I was given a 2 week out service date! On the day of installation you are given a time of 8am to 5pm. I stayed at home the entire day and no one showed up nor called from the company. At 4:30, I phoned them to see and was informed that the service would be the next day. So let me call my work and state I need another day off at the last minute. Employers truly appreciate that. I was told it be put before any service calls that next day but again would be between 8 and 5! I waited again! A technician finally called that afternoon and stated he'd be there in an hour...hour came...hour went, no technician. He did finally show but by that point I was angry and sent him on his way so that the could waste his time as much as mine had been wasted. In calling the Area Manager, I explained the events and was given 1 free month of service if I agreed to have service installed. I agreed in that they have a monopoly in our area. I get the first bill and of course there was no credit given as well as additional charges for the installation that I was told would be free from the very beginning. They adjusted the bill. Problem 1 resolved.
Problem 2, on that bill, My name was completely wrong as well as the account # as they use your home number as part of the account #. I spent over an hour on the phone getting all the credits and service issues resolved.
Problem 3, they assigned my home number to another customer. I went to use my home phone and there was no dial tone! Find out at that point that's why my account # was wrong! I went without service for several days until they were able to reconnect it.
Problem 4, bill comes in for the second month and I have long distance charges on the bill that exceed the cost of the unlimited call plan that I was signed up for! I again had to spend 30 minutes on the phone to get credits for those charges.
Problem 5, I am to the point this company just HATES me! Our Internet service does not have a good signal as well as keeps going out of service all together. I called after at least 5 times of resetting the modem. I was told that a ticket needed to be put in and that I would be scheduled for the following day. Not expecting them to come, due to their history, I just went on went my day however would expect them the next day to be here. On day 3 of no reliable Internet service, I get a call stating they'd be here the following day! When I started to complain, the ever so polite representative tells me in the middle of me speaking to have a great day and hangs up. Talk about angry. I was angry. I made my calls to the managers once again and am to have service today versus tomorrow. We'll see!
Basically, this is it for me. One more issue and they will be pulled out of my home and I will do without Internet service. If you have a choice to use another service, I would highly recommend using the alternate service. It takes so much time and effort to be a customer of Frontier which to me is not the way it should be. Good Luck!
TWO HARBORS, MINNESOTA -- I live in Two Harbors MN. Frontier is our only option for residential phone and Internet. I have been a customer in good standing for over 10 years. There are no bounds to how the policies and services this company provides have let me down. They over charge for all of their services. I notified them at the beginning of the year that there was the possibility I might be moving out of their service area at some point during the year due to the sale of my home, they told me that the 1 year contract they impose each year on every client would not incur me a cancellation penalty if I moved out of their service area. I just got off the phone with them and now they are charging me a $100 cancellation fee for terminated my one year contract early. The kicker is...I never signed a contract. Their "contract" is a "term of service" period they put on their bill each month and automatically renew each year. I even asked them at the time of my phone call if they could send me something in writing saying if I moved out of their service area that this fee would not apply and they told me know that it was always waived if a client moved out of their service area. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS and they should be punished. I even had the name of who I spoke to and the date of the call where he told me this and they still did not care!! How can you trust anything they say? Not to mention their phone and Internet service is completely unreliable in our rural area. If you can avoid using this company - do so at all costs.
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA -- I have had Frontier phone and Internet service since May 2012. When the service works, it is fine but at least four or five hours a month, the Internet goes down unexpectedly or moves at a snail's pace. The phone is consistently down or my telephone calls are so static filled, it is often impossible to hear the person calling on the other end. This problem usually clears up in an hour or two but what if I have an emergency? Must I wait an hour before I can call an ambulance or can call the police?
During the summer, I was without phone and Internet service for more than a week. The first tech showed up on day five (after my initial complaint) to say that he did not have a bucket truck. He then scratched his head and left. Nearly four days after the first appointment repair date, another technician arrived without a bucket truck which I asked customer service to provide. Thankfully, he climbed a ladder and resolved the problem.
When my bill was incorrectly charged I spoke to a wonderful customer service agent who gave me credit for the improperly charged amount--or so I thought. I paid my bill sans the credited amount and guess what, three weeks later my service was disconnected because the amount I thought was credited was not approved. We are talking about nearly $170.00--not pocket change.
If you have another option instead of Frontier, consider that option first.

Conferences Noon Conferences for the Residents are held each weekday. Among the conferences there are a weekly Medical Grand Rounds featuring a nationally or locally prominent speaker, and a daily resident conference covering the gamut of Internal Medicine and its subspecialties, as well as a multitude of other core topics.
Morning Report Morning Report is attended by all residents and medical students on ward rotations, as well as by other residents when feasible. It is led by a faculty member, customarily Dr. Hosea, and occurs each weekday morning. In a very participatory manner, one or two cases are discussed by the entire group. The focus is on clinical analysis and integration rather than upon dissecting details.
Ward Rotations Inpatient teams care for all members of the community, with approximately 5%-10% private and 90%-95% non-private patients.
Intensive Care Unit Rotation With the addition to our staff of Jeffrey Fried, M.D., a full-time hospital-based Intensivist, we have modified our rotations. We now have a dedicated ICU team which serves as the primary caregivers for MICU patients. Dr. Fried attends with the team and provides extensive rounds and teaching on a daily basis.
Subspecialty Rotations Subspecialty rotations are usually four weeks' duration. Residents work closely with a preceptor of their choice, spending the vast majority of their time in the private office of the preceptor. While there, the resident assumes significant responsibility for the care of private patients. The resident also performs initial evaluations and ongoing care of consultations at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital under the supervision of the preceptor. These rotations provide the resident with an excellent opportunity to learn the outpatient procedures regularly performed by specialists. Rotations are available in Santa Barbara in all subspecialty areas.
Ambulatory Care In addition to a weekly I.M. continuity clinic for all residents, each second and third year resident spends 8 weeks per year at the County Clinic. The ambulatory experience is further enhanced by numerous elective outpatient rotations per year during the second and third years.
Emergency Medicine Each R1 spends 4 weeks in the Emergency Department supervised by Board Certified Emergency Physicians. The resident has "first contact" with patients across all specialties, diagnoses, and socioeconomic classes. There are currently approximately 45,000 visits annually to our ED.

Item # LGN0825
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Tri Suits in stock than that.
Louis Garneau Tri Elite Men's Course Suit $0.00
The logic behind the Louis Garneau Tri Elite Course Suit is simple -- more seams mean more abrasion, a less precise fit, and decrease in aerodynamics. So, the natural solution to minimizing seams is creating a one-piece suit. And with Garneau's One-Piece Technology, you receive a next-to-skin fit that increases comfort and speed over every leg of the course.
Garneau constructed the lower portion of the suit from its Lazer Rev fabric. This material features a knit that has a high percentage of Lycra fibers in its composition. This means that you'll experience more muscle support in comparison to heavy polyester blends. Why is this important? Well, more support translates to less muscle movement from road vibration, and thus, less muscle fatigue. Additionally, even though the Tri Elite Course isn't a designated compression piece, you can still expect a slight improvement to blood flow, correlating to a reduction of lactic acid buildup. Even better, Lazer Rev has been designed to retain its shape after expanding for body conformity. So, the fabric's shape, fit, and compressive qualities don't run the risk of degradation. And to keep the heat at bay, Garneau also treated the lowers with its Coldblack finish. This finish forces the sun's heat to be reflected away, instead of absorbing it like most fabrics. So, you can ride on the rivet during summer races without running the risk of overheating.
You might be asking where aerodynamics come into the fold. Well, this a two part story, with Chapter One being the materials, and Chapter Two involving the construction. Moving along these lines, Garneau designed the Tri Elite Course shorts portion with a minimal number of seams. Not only does this minimize the possibility of abrasion, but it also creates a smooth, laminar air flow over the legs. You'll notice that the inner leg features a seamless design, and that the hems of the legs have been laser-cut. Together, drag is reduced, and unwanted compression and chafing have been eliminated.
For further comfort, the suit features Louis Garneau's own TriElite chamois. This chamois, developed with Beveled Edge Molding, uses a minimally surfaced, pre-shaped design that moves in unison with your body. After all, a non-conforming insert is a leading cause of abrasion. So, to guarantee obedient flexibility, the TriElite chamois uses a variable-density, perforated memory foam that's been shaped objectively towards every direction of movement and pressure. And unlike other forms of variable-density padding, the TriElite shape ensures that height transitions flow smoothly from region to region. This means that pinching and chafing are nearly eliminated. Keep in mind that this is a tri-specific chamois, and in accordance to its application, Garneau made sure that the insert is highly breathable, and most importantly, quick drying. So, you'll experience a smooth transition from water to saddle, and from the saddle to the pavement. All the while, you don't have to sacrifice pressure relief to the genitals and sensitive nerves for comfort in your run. However, Garneau didn't stop there, instead, it incorporated the medically-used Crabyon fabric. This antibacterial, therapeutic material adds comfort to raw, chafed, and even burned skin.
For the top of the suit, the natural fabric choice for the construction was Garneau's Speedtech material. As the name implies, this fabric is built for speed. It features a dimpled mesh design that's akin to the surfaces of aero helmets and golf balls. The reasoning behind this is simple -- between speeds of 15 and 45 mph, the dimples reduce drag at the forward most point of your body. Additionally, this aerodynamic trait also has natural hydrophilic properties that assist in wicking away moisture. And even better, its 18% spandex content qualifies Speedtech as a certified compressive fabric. This means that your upper-body will be less susceptible to the volatile effects of road vibration and general fatigue.
Speedtech is also responsible for the top's next-to-skin fit and comfort. It also doesn't hurt that it's been treated in order to wick moisture away rapidly, and it too has been given a Coldblack finish. To secure the fit of the Tri Elite jersey, the shoulders and torso have been pre-shaped for added comfort in both the cycling and running positions. Garneau also made the zipper around 15 inches long, with teeth that pull away from the skin, and with an inner flap that eliminates any abrasion between the skin and the zipper. You'll also notice that the arm and neck holes have been cut liberally to not only permit a full range of motion, but to minimize the amount of the fabric's surface area. Altogether, the stretch of the material, along with the thoughtful design of the cut, provides a next-to-skin fit that will feel unnoticeable over the stages of your race.
The Louis Garneau Tri Elite Course Suit is available in the color Black/red/white and in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large.

Dropping enrollments add financial pressures at Manchester schools
The deficit could have significant implications on the city's coffers, but what effect — if any — the shortfall will have has yet to be determined.
"The numbers we are seeing right now show an actual enrollment number of 624 students," said DeFrancis.
Mayor Ted Gatsas isn't convinced yet that the lower enrollment figures are accurate.
"If they are correct, then a high percentage of students would have gone to school here for three years, then left their senior year to go somewhere else," said Gatsas. "I just don't think that's the case. That's why we're going back over the figures on a student-by-student basis, to see how they were counted."
Last March, about 500 Dunbarton residents voted to end their 40-year agreement with Goffstown and enter into an agreement with Bow beginning in September 2014. The loss of the Dunbarton students could mean a loss of about $2 million in annual revenue for Goffstown.

"Two teenagers long before Full house. @johnstamos #generalhospital #theedgeofnight," the 49-year-old actress captioned the black and white pic.
Loughlin's caption referenced the time she played Jody Travis on The Edge of Night and Stamos played singer Blackie Parrish on General Hospital in 1983. The two eventually co-starred as Uncle Jessie and Aunt Becky from 1987 to 1995 in the ABC hit series, Full House.
While the pair never dated in real life, and Loughlin is happily married to fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, the actors have been outspoken about what could've happened between them. Stamos declared last year that Loughlin was "the one who got away," and the actress responded by saying the two never got together because of timing.

The police fired rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades at striking teachers in the southern city Curitiba on Wednesday, leaving more than 150 people injured. The police said they responded after a few protesters tried to gain access to a state congressional building where legislators voted to make cuts to teachers' pension plans. But the authorities' response was widely criticized as heavy-handed. Live television showed the police firing the nonlethal weapons into tightly packed clusters of striking teachers after some protesters tried to break through police lines around the Paraná State congressional building. Water cannons were also used to push back demonstrators. A statement on the Curitiba municipal government's website said at least 150 people had been treated for injuries. The state security department said about 20 police officers had been hurt."

"Most of us go into an interview like we would a beauty pageant, where we sit there feeling judged," says Suzanne Lucas, a human resources veteran and blogger at EvilHRLady.org. "And we're O.K. with this because we have this idea that of course we'll be happy if we're offered the job. But learning about an organization's culture is so important because you'll only be happy—and thrive—at a company if it fits."
"When it comes to learning more about a company's office culture, we're not just talking about free-flowing snacks and whether or not you can bring Fido to work on Fridays, either. It's about much more than that—like whether the management team values all staffers' opinions as well as fosters communication among coworkers.
"And while you could come right out and ask your interviewer what the company's culture is like, experts say you'll get more honest and less-canned responses if you pose subtle questions—like these six asks."

School administration can be very fast paced and detail oriented with many decisions, big and small, made throughout the course of a day. With one principal and two assistant principals, the amount of information that we have to consume can be quite overwhelming. We've found Voxer invaluable in helping us to stay connected and communicate more effectively during the school day. As soon as there's a decision that another administrator needs to know about, we no longer need to schedule a meeting, craft an email, or even send a text. Voxer provides an opportunity to leave a detailed message that can be retrieved by the rest of the team when time permits.
It also allows us to engage in a more reflective practice with time to consider a response instead of providing immediate feedback. Whereas in the past, we had to carve out time for all three administrators to be in the same place at the same time, we've found that sharing, discussing, and even debating ideas via Voxer has cut our meeting time down from 4-6 hours to 1-2 hours a week, allowing us more time to collaborate with teachers and communicate with students.

Drones have gotten a bad rap in recent times in the wake of criticism of President Obama's counterterrorism program and images of Amazon.com's spooky firefly-like drones delivering books and cuddly toys to your door. And the government is clamping down on them, at least for domestic, commercial use. New federal rules on drones are expected to require operators to have a license, fly only during daylight hours below 400 feet and within site of the operator, The Wall Street Journal reported.
"But there will be more than 100,000 new jobs created nationally by 2025 with an economic impact of $82 billion over that period, according to a 2013 report by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, a coalition of 7,000 individuals and 600 corporations. "States that create favorable regulatory and business environments for the industry and the technology will likely siphon jobs away from states that do not," the report found.
"Dozens of universities are offering — or planning to offer — drone programs."

"...economists say the study offers perhaps the most detailed portrait yet of upward mobility — and the lack of it. The findings suggest that geography does not merely separate rich from poor but also plays a large role in determining which poor children achieve the so-called American dream.
"How neighborhoods affect children "has been a quandary with which social science has been grappling for decades," said David B. Grusky, director of the Center on Poverty and Inequality at Stanford University, who was not involved in the research. "This delivers the most compelling evidence yet that neighborhoods matter in a really big way."

"Making allows students to learn by doing and solve problems by tinkering, trial and error. Minecraft is a 3D sandbox game, which has made its way into classrooms because it engages students across a range of subjects. Imagine the learning that happens when these two popular education movements are combined.
"The outcome is a powerhouse of student engagement, says Mike Washburn, head of computer science at Richmond Hill Montessori & Elementary Private School in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In his mind, games shouldn't be relegated to the fringes in classrooms. Educators should leverage them to engage students and drive new ways of thinking.
"And when it comes to teaching social studies, a subject that often gets a bad rap when supported by only worksheets and textbook reading, incorporating Minecraft can create an explosion of learning. Game playing takes the "boring" right out of it and can be a highly successful way to teach social studies, Washburn argues."

A recent study published in Psychological Science found that the pen is mightier than the keyboard when it comes to remembering what you just jotted down.
Princeton University psychological scientist Pam Mueller, lead author of the study, noticed the difference while she was a graduate teaching assistant. She normally brought her laptop to the lecture to take notes, but one day she didn't have it. "I felt like I learned a lot more," she recalls.
Using three different studies, Mueller tested the affect of note-taking techniques on memory. First she had two groups of students take notes on a TED talk, with half of the group using a laptop and the other half using a pen and notebook. Each group was tested on the material, and while both groups tested well on questions that involved recalling facts, the longhand group scored significantly better on conceptual questions.
