Definition | Reasons for Test | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
Audiometry is a test that measures how well you can hear. This test is performed by an audiologist. An audiologist is a person trained to identify and help manage hearing problems.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This test is done to detect or monitor hearing loss.
There are no major complications associated with this procedure.
There are several types of audiometry, including:
This test usually takes place in a soundproof booth. You will put on headphones that are connected to an audiometer. This device sends sounds of different volumes and pitches to one ear at a time. You will be asked to respond each time you hear a sound. You may be asked to respond by raising your hand.
You may also be asked to wear a special instrument called a bone oscillator. It is worn behind each ear. The device sends sounds as vibrations directly to the inner ear. You will again be asked to respond each time you hear a sound.
You will wear special headphones. You will hear simple, two-syllable words. Words will be sent to one ear at a time at different volume levels. You will be asked to repeat each word or point to a picture.
A probe is inserted into your ear. The device changes the air pressure in your ear and emits sounds. The test measures how much your eardrum moves in response to the air pressure change and the sounds. It can help determine how well the middle ear is functioning and if there is fluid in it.
Babies are watched to see how they react to certain sounds.
Children are taught to look toward the source of a sound.
Older children are given a fun version of the pure tone audiometry test. Sounds of varying volume and pitch are sent through headphones to one ear at a time. Children are asked to do something with a toy each time they hear a sound. They may be asked to drop a block in a bucket.
Newborns and young infants may have brain stem auditory response testing. A sound is sent through headphones to one ear at a time. The response is measured using EEG recordings over the auditory cortex.
Your test results are recorded on an audiogram. This is a chart or graph that shows the softest sounds you can hear. The audiologist will explain your test results.
Testing times vary. A first screening may take only 5-10 minutes. A more detailed hearing test may take up to an hour.
There is no pain associated with these tests.
Your doctor will talk to you about treatment options if your test results confirm that you have hearing loss.
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs after the test:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

On June 13, 2007, the New Jersey Township of Manalapan filed a malpractice suit against its former attorney Stuart Moskovitz, alleging misconduct regarding the Township's purchase of polluted land in 2005. The decision to file suit was met by a lively debate in the regional press and among local bloggers. One blogger who was particularly critical of the Township, of this and other decisions, was Blogspot blogger "datruthsquad" (http://datruthsquad.blogspot.com). Inexplicably, attorneys for the Township issued a subpoena to Google (owner of Blogspot) demanding that the identity of this anonymous critic be turned over, along with datruthsquad's contact information, blog drafts, e-mails, and "any and all information related to the blog." Despite repeated requests from EFF (now representing datruthsquad) to explain how this could be anything other than an attempt to out a vocal critic, attorneys for the Township refused to withdraw the subpoena and informed EFF that it could go to court to object to the subpoena if it so chose. On November 28, 2007, EFF filed a motion to quash the subpoena and for a protective order to prevent the Township from issuing similar subpoenas in the future.
On December 21, 2007, Superior Court Judge Terence Flynn granted EFF's motion to quash the Township's September 26th subpoena seeking the identity of datruthsquad and denied a motion by the township to authorize future subpoenas, finding that the subpoena amounted to "an unjust infringement on the blogger's First Amendment rights" and that the blogger "has a right not to be drawn into the litigation."
This is the reply brief of "datruthsquad" in support of motion to quash & for a protective order.

Matt Bublitz, F/S slash
In his latest gallery for XGames.com, skate photographer Ben Karpinski shares new images from spots in Southern California, Illinois and Texas. For starters, Karpinski kicked it off in San Pedro, Calif. "Huntington Beach's Matt Bublitz may be more known being behind the lens than in front of it. After his video 'Lo-Tide' came out last year, The Skateboard Mag gave him a shot at making 'Hi-Tide' for them. Not being able to get the beach out of his head, Matt scratches a grind on top of the wave at Channel Street," says Karpinski.

The REACH Regulation is designed to deliver both a high level of protection from the potential risks posed by chemical substances and a strong, innovative European industry that is competitive on the global market. REACH concerns not only the traditional chemical industry, but also businesses from several other sectors. Relevant companies need to start working on registration now in order to meet the 1 June 2013 deadline. The European Commission and the European Chemicals Agency have developed tools to make sure that SMEs are well equipped and ready to fulfil their obligations.

Chances are you have been washing your own hands for quite a while. All it takes is a little soap and some water, right? Actually, there is a bit more to hand washing. Find out how to wash your hands correctly and why it matters so much.
The single most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick and to stop the spread of disease-causing germs is to wash your hands often. By frequently washing your hands, you wash away germs that you may have picked up from other people or from contaminated surfaces. One of the most common ways people catch colds and the flu is by rubbing their noses or eyes after their hands have been contaminated with the cold or flu virus. More frequent hand washing may be able to reduce the spread of the these viruses. Some studies show that when children are taught to carefully wash their hands school absenteeism is reduced, even more so when alcohol-based hand rubs are combined with hand washing.
Note: When soap is not readily available, alcohol-based hand rubs offer a quick and easy alternative. No water is needed. Just squirt some into the palm of your hand and rub your hands all over until they are dry. They are not the best option, however, when your hand are visibly dirty.

Normal Capacities & Resolutions
Smart Range Capacities & Resolutions
This analytical balance can be connected to a computer using the RS232 port and the included WinCT software. This software can be used with Windows based computers to transmit data to and from your Phoenix analytical balance.
You won't have to worry about buying calibration weights for this scientific scale. This Phoenix balance has automatic internal calibration that uses internal weights to calibrate the scale. The Phoenix will automatically calibrate with a significant change in temperature, or whenever ya tell it to. This is gonna come in real handy, especially if ya don't like going through the whole calibration process. If ya prefer to calibrate the scale manually with your own weights, you can do that too.
You bet it does! All ya need to do is weigh a sample amount of pieces, so the Phoenix can know how much each piece weighs, then start counting. You'll be finished in no time.
This function will improve the accuracy of the unit weight by re-calculating the unit weight with each additional amount of pieces ya put on the scale. This is gonna make counting your parts and pieces super accurate and super easy.
This balance is equipped with magnetic force restoration, or electro-magnetic force, to provide super fast, accurate and repeatable measurements.
Sometimes the thing ya need to weigh just won't fit on the scale's platform. Now that's a problem for most scales, but not the Phoenix GH-202. This scale has a weighing hook built right into the bottom. This hook works by pulling on the weighing platform when an item is hanging from it, just like if ya were to put an item on top of the platform. This will come in handy for density determination, gravity calculation, weighing magnetic samples and a lot more.
You can easily determine the density of an object with this analytical scale. Use the density determination mode to calculate the density of a solid using the mass value of the sample in air and liquid.
This feature will let ya compare the weights of your samples against a predetermined reference weight. This can be helpful in weight checking, compounding, formulating and more.
When you're weighing with high analytical scales like this one, even the tiniest breeze can interfere with weight readings. That's why this A&D scale comes with a durable, glass windscreen to keep out those pesky drafts.
The Phoenix GH202 has an RS232 port built right in. This is important if you're wanting to send your weight readings and other data to an external source like a computer or printer.
This analytical balance has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
The tare button on the front of this digital lab scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use an expansion scoop to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
This very handy feature will help you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings. All ya have to do is twist the feet on the bottom of the scale until the spirit bubble is centered within the level.
This analytical balance is covered with a 5 year warranty from A&D Weighing against defects in material and workmanship.

I was not sure what to expect when I ordered this Cricut Mini. Its actually a lot heavier and bigger than I had expected, which is a good thing. Its constructed wonderfully and is exactly what I was looking for. I am planning my wedding and this has helped with some DIY stuff I've been working on. I've also started planning some other projects as well. The machine itself is super easy to use, its great quality. The only negative thing I have to add is the sticky layout sheet that is included and used for all cutting. I used it about 15 times and by the end of it the sticky pad had started to fad in stickyness. I tried to wash it as some folks online had suggested and that helped slightly, but I may just buy replacements sheets. Overall a great purchase!
I got the item earlier so I was able to try it. I am so happy that I can try the images first before actually purchasing them. I made my very first card which is graduation card for my daughter. Looking forward to more crafting fun..
This unit is an entry level unit. For small school projects. We purchased this unit, then to find out that it is limited to Cricut design templates. NOT FOR YOUR OWN CREATIVE DESIGNS. As such, the company is monopolizing user by providing them the company's own design and NOT ALLOWING the freedom of your own work and crativity. I would not reccommend to a friend as it fells short on what they are marketing this product and the limitations of design innovations. Very limited capability unless you are satisfied with toying with letters and some standard designs. In short it is good for stacking LEGO squares using a cutting machine.
I am having a great time with my machine. I am going to cut some butterflies and star for my SS class today for thier Christmas tree.
It is simple and easy...be careful as most is computer uses.

Surfing Braces and Supports
Surfing is a fun water sport, but it also presents the opportunity for injury. Surfers put their bodies against the force of the waves, which can lead to knee injuries, including issues such as ligament and cartilage tears. Even professional surfers, such as Garrett McNamara wear surfing knee braces to help protect his joints while on the waves. Wearing surfing knee braces may help prevent injury or provide extra support for surfers recovering from prior injuries. Remember, the risk for getting hurt while surfing is always there, as your body may twist unexpectedly from the force of a wave or you can get hit from your board. Repetitive stress injuries from crouching down can also strain the knee joint and lead to pain. That's why our brace coaches recommend these surfing braces and supports -- check them out today!

855 apartments for rent in Phoenix, AZ

Guide to Phoenix
Phoenix Apartments For Rent
Bursts of pinks, reds, and oranges spread across the dusky blue sky, jagged mountains forming a shadowy background. Sand carved by the wind forms other-worldly peaks and valleys, broken only by the occasional saguaro cactus standing sentry over the desert. Rolling farmland is dotted with grazing cattle. A major city of concrete, glass, and steel contains museums, theaters, nightlife, shops, and restaurants.
You may think these scenes are of different locations, but they are all Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is the land of cowboys and tech companies, towering skyscrapers and soaring eagles. "The Valley of the Sun" is the largest city by land in the United States, and it provides one of the most diverse landscapes. From a starry night sky over the Sonoran Desert to the endless sunshine, Phoenix is truly a one-of-a-kind city. When you want a break from the heat of the sun, climb the mountains, where it is typically 20 degrees cooler. Go for a spin on your dune buggy, or visit a museum.
Phoenix is the place where you can stretch your legs, find your elbow room, and explore myriad landscapes. Explore red canyons – including the nearby Grand Canyon. Go shopping at downtown boutiques, take in a game at a sports stadium, or go golfing at an always-green golf course. Get ready for endless sunshine, rivaled only by endless nightlife! Get ready to rent an apartment in Phoenix!
Things to Do in Phoenix:
The one thing you'll never be in Phoenix is bored! First, Phoenix is the gateway to the Grand Canyon. Covering 277 miles end-to-end and more than a mile down to the canyon floor, the Grand Canyon provides endless things to do. Hiking, rafting down the wild Colorado River, mule tours, air tours, campgrounds – you'll love having the Grand Canyon as your backyard!
Once you find your Phoenix apartment, make Papago Park your next adventure. 1,200 acres of this park is in Phoenix – another 296 acres are in neighboring Tempe. From unique rock formations to saguaro cactus, this park is as unique as it is beautiful. In addition to hiking trails, picnic areas, bike paths, and some small lakes, Papago Park contains the Phoenix Zoo, Hunt's Tomb, and the Desert Botanical Garden.
Outdoor adventures in Phoenix will keep you very busy – there's caving, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, hot air ballooning, adventure sports, bicycling, and snow skiing! The nearby mountains are ideal for weekend trips to go snowboarding and cross-country skiing.
Of course, Downtown Phoenix provides legendary nightlife, shopping, and fine dining for those who prefer less daring pastimes. Visit the Phoenix Art Museum, the Phoenix Museum of History, Symphony Hall, the Phoenix Theater, the Heard Museum, and the Pioneer Arizona Living History Village to explore the area's history and culture.
Sports fans, you're also covered. From your new Phoenix apartment, you can enjoy football games – the Fiesta Bowl is held in Phoenix every January – basketball, hockey, and NASCAR. MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks play at Chase Field, while the NBA's Phoenix Suns and WNBA Phoenix Mercury play at US Airways Center. The NFL's Arizona Cardinals play just 20 minutes from Phoenix, at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. The NHL's Arizona Coyotes play at Jobing.com Arena, also in Glendale.
What to Consider When Moving to Phoenix:
Named one of the top cities for small businesses, Phoenix attracts a variety of companies, from locally-owned shops to Fortune 500 companies. Phoenix is home to Honeywell's Aerospace division, Avnet, and American Express. Luke Air Force Base is located nearby, and government is also a large employer since Phoenix is the state capitol and the county seat. Tourism is another major industry – Phoenix isn't just the gateway to the Grand Canyon, but also Tonto National Forest, Prescott National Forest, Sonoran Desert National Monument, Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, White Tank Mountain Regional Park, South Mountain, Estrella Mountain Regional Park, Phoenix Sonoran Desert Preserve, Lake Pleasant, McDowell Mountain Regional Park, Mojave National Preserve, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and Lake Mead Recreation Area.
Phoenix is a collection of 15 diverse neighborhoods referred to as "urban villages." Camelback East is located on Phoenix's east side. Popular with many affluent residents, Camelback East features several office buildings, condos, and the Arizona Biltmore Hotel. If you prefer your Phoenix apartment be downtown, consider the Central City neighborhood. Encanto is a beautiful neighborhood located along the Grand Canal. It is home to Park Central Mall, Encanto Park, and the Arizona State Fairgrounds. For gorgeous mountain vistas, Laveen is ideal – this neighborhood has a rural feel with amazing views of the South Mountains.
Why Phoenix Apartments Are Hot:
It's always sunny in Phoenix! And that's important since Phoenix is playground for outdoor adventurers. From camping under the bright stars to mountain climbing to golfing, there's something for everyone in Phoenix. The breathtaking landscape includes rugged, red mountains and wind-carved canyons, deep caves and green golf courses. Once you've selected your apartment for rent in Phoenix, get ready to live outdoors! You'll be hiking, biking, and going horseback riding on the more than 50 miles of trails at South Mountain Park and Preserve. You'll sit on your apartment patio and marvel at spectacular sunsets. You'll perfect your swing on over 200 golf courses in Phoenix. You'll tailgate at Arizona Cardinals football games, cheer on the NBA's Phoenix Suns, and enjoy watching the MLB's Arizona Diamondbacks and the NHL's Arizona Coyotes. And you'll enjoy the unique southwestern art, culture, and food that Phoenix is famous for.

dude i need to pinch a loaf can i use ur toilet?
po vix and da suz
Август 11, 2005
Used to describe taking a shit. Used more so to describe taking a dump where a BIG piece of shit is "pinched". The BIG piece of shit is the "loaf" as in a loaf of bread in terms of size. To pinch a loaf is to shit out a turd that is the size of a loaf of bread. Pinching a loaf usually involves extreme stretching of the anus and pain is involved in pinching the loaf.
"I feel a huge turd coming on so I have to go pinch a loaf."

To cut off the hanging of fecal matter from the anus.
Hey dog I'll be ready in a few, I gotta pinch a loaf first.
po Danielwebster
Фабруар 22, 2015
The act of dispursing poo out of the anus. Slang terms include: pinch a mean one, dropping the kids off at the pool, taking the browns to the super bowl, taking a dump, lose some poundage, drop a load, etc.
Hey man, I really gotta Pinch-A-Loaf, can I use your bathroom?

Coyote spotted in Los Altos
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 26 May 2013 18:00
- Written by Los Altos Town Crier Staff
Los Altos Police are asking residents to keep their household pets – particularly cats – indoors due to several reports of coyote sightings.
Los Altos Police Sgt. Cameron Shearer told the Town Crier Wednesday (May 29) that the department has received multiple reports of residents spotting a coyote near Alicia Way, as well as in the city's highlands area, near Interstate 280 and Foothill Expressway.
The coyote (or coyotes) is suspected of preying on domesticated cats in Los Altos, according to Shearer.
He added that the coyote doesn't pose an immediate threat to humans, "but like all wildlife, it should be respected."
Anyone spotting a coyote is encouraged to call animal services at 496-5971.

I removed the 8.41 right away. Knowing it has great OpenGL code base but I just can't enjoy it while there are so many rough edges in the driver... Donno if one month.... 5 weeks polishing is enough to removed those bugs or not.
I have Mobility Radeon x2300 (debian kernel - 22, xorg 1.4)

It works with Xserver 1.3 however, if you like downgrade.

Parts of the Plains and Midwest face a likely blizzard Thursday with heavy snow and howling winds forecast. That's bad news for holiday travelers, but the forecast promises much-needed precipitation for the drought-plagued region.
Some spots in Iowa and Wisconsin could see a foot and a half of snow by the time the storm winds down Thursday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Expect delays at airports in the path of the storm and ripple-effect delays in other parts of the nation, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. The storm will have a direct impact on Chicago, Detroit and Minneapolis, he said.
Most of the nation's big airlines responded to the storm's threat by Wednesday afternoon, enacting flexible rebooking policies for fliers scheduled to fly into the storm's path.
Chicago's O'Hare is a major hub for both American and United, while Midway is one of the top bases for Southwest. If forecasts hold, both airports are at risk of significant delays developing today and lasting into Friday.
"The heaviest amounts of snow will be across Iowa and into southern Wisconsin," according to a weather service report. "Strong, gusty winds accompanying the storm will bring blizzard conditions, making travel in the area hazardous."
Blizzard warnings were in place late Wednesday in a solid stretch from near Denver to near Milwaukee, a distance of more than 900 miles. About 5 million people were in areas under a blizzard warning.
Snow created a few problems in Denver on Wednesday, with hour-long flight delays reported at the airport.
Heavy snow and whiteout conditions also closed interstates and caused driving problems in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas on Wednesday.
South of the snowstorm, blowing dust led to near-zero visibilities in West Texas, which caused a major car wreck that killed one person.
The weather service is even forecasting "thundersnow" in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas today, where snow could fall at the rate of 2-3 inches an hour.
In the South, AccuWeather is forecasting severe weather Thursday.
States where the threat is the highest include Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the Storm Prediction Center reported.
"The greatest risk from the storms appears to be damaging wind gusts and flash and urban flooding," AccuWeather meteorologist Eddie Walker said. "However, there is a slight possibility that a few storms can be intense enough to produce a tornado."
Although the Plains and Midwest could do without the travel headaches, precipitation should be welcome.
More than 93% of the high Plains region and 54% of the Midwest are enduring drought conditions, according to the most recent U.S. Drought Monitor, a federal website that tracks drought.

The course will begin with a discussion of the relationship between psychology and religion. It will then explore the relationship between religion and psychology -- history, methodology, research and application. It will review psychological theories and research on personality and their relationship to spirituality, religious behaviour, individual differences and abnormality, and review research on religious development. These findings will then be applied within the context of the social and organizational psychology of the church. Students will be asked to write several reports on assigned readings and a longer essay for the end of the term. A previous course in introductory psychology would be helpful but not essential.
AD students enrol in RGP6550HF.

Temptation and Surrender LP: A Cynster Novel (Large Print / Paperback)
When a gentleman is restless and bored with the careless pleasures of London society, he needs to discover a new diversion, and if that diversion is a beautiful woman, so much the better.
Jonas Tallent, who has masterfully taken the reins of his family's estate, never expected a delectable morsel like Miss Emily Beauregard to step into his library, but he certainly isn't about to hire her as manager for the village inn. A lady as tempting as Emily belongs in a ballroom, or a bedroom--preferably his.
Emily herself hadn't expected her current circumstances, but she has her reasons and doesn't plan to share them, even with someone as seductive as Jonas. Yet he can be so devilishly persuasive. But a villain knows her secret, and soon danger threatens Em, her family, and the powerful love she and Jonas have found in each other's arms.

Moral : |
YATI : | Although the shuttle strafing the prison is a nice scene, what weapons is is using to do it? Previously the armament of the shuttles has been described as plasma cannon, but this time it fires a continuous beam that looks just like the phase pistol beam. Have they fitted phase cannon to the shuttles? Another speed nit - when Enterprise locates Archer, they say they are 5.2 light years away. After the ship arrives, a Suliban says that Danik has only known Archer for three days. But at warp 5 it should have taken the ship at least 15 days to reach the planet. Also, in "Broken Bow" the female Suliban Sarin showed us a face with Human-style skin and claimed that this is what the unaltered Suliban look like; the mottled skin effect is part of their camoflage ability. So why do all the Suliban in this episode claim to be unaltered when they have the mottled skin? |
Great Moment : | The shuttle strafing the prison, a nice bit of FX. | ||||
Body Count : | No certain deaths; Archer is once again beaten up, as is Mayweather. Reed gets shot but is apparently not badly injured. Several Tandarans are shot by phase pistols, presumably set to stun. It's probable that there were several people in each of the towers that Trip destroyed, but there's no way to know. | ||||
Factoid : | Dean Stockwell is, of course, an old friend of Scott Bakula as the two co-starred for many years on "Quantum Leap". |

Many towns in Iowa have been passed by mother time and left by the wayside. These towns may be depressing, run-down, desolate, or flat out boring.r.. maybe all four. Which town do you think is THE worst town in Iowa?
Milo, Palmyra, Promise City.

Anyone who says something other than Iowa City deserves a nut punch.

Well maybe Ottumwa wasn't the worst town this year. They might have done something to improve or maybe another city did something worse to move up.

My letter of complaint sent to Century Link & Dish Network
We had a really, really bad day with your company(ies) yesterday. Let me tell you about it and see if you agree that your customer service is, shall we say, "lacking".
First of all, our high speed internet service went down..again. This is more times this year than we can even remember, but it's the second time within just a month or so. Even the person at tech support said the company is constantly working on the lines, which crashes the system. We run a business that relies completely on our internet service. When our internet service isn't working, our business grinds to a complete halt. We have had to go to Panera Bread just to be able to get online and conduct business!! If your internet service can't be depended on, then we will have to find one that is.
Next, we received another Dish Network bill in which we were overcharged. This happens on our regular basis too. I can provide you with numerous pages of notes we have made of all the phone conversations we have had with your customer service reps since we signed up for Dish Network service back in Dec. of 2009. Originally, we called around for pricing with several companies and talked to Dish Network several times before making the decision to switch from DirectTV. We were told each time that we spoke with Dish Network customer service that we would pay $59.99 a month plus tax for the package and the DVR/HD, etc. for the first year and then it would go up to $74.99 in the second year. After signing up, just a couple of months later, we get a notice that rates were going up. Our DVR rental would now go from $7 to $14 and the "Classic" package was no longer available.we would now be in the American Top 200 package. OK, whatever you want to call it, fine. The problem is that you're doing it on purpose to completely confuse the customer. If everything changes regularly, there's no way to compare billings or packages. When we called to complain about the increase we got a few months of credits. Then we bundled..and oh good lord the fun has multiplied. We're getting a $5 bundle credit but our bill this last month went up $12 despite that credit. We didn't change a thing from the month before but our bill was $70.99.not the promised $59.99. How did that happen when our first year wasn't up yet?!?!?! So that was another phone call and the discovery that we were charged $6 for the service plan that was supposed to be free for 9 months and we only got 8. We got a credit and the plan was removed from our account. But the bottom line monthly bill was still $10 higher than $59.99 so another call was in order. This time when I used the term "deceptive" in describing Dish Networks rates and billing, the customer service representative decided to examine the account again to see what could be done. Miraculously, she discovered that we were getting the HD Platinum channels with such mind-blowingly compelling fare as World Fishing Network HD and Fashion TV HD. How have we lived without this programming all these years? And to think I could have been watching fishing in HD and I didn't even know it! What's next "Paint Drying HD"? I not only didn't know we had these channels, nobody told us we were getting them either. I certainly wouldn't want them or pay for them. Now the Fox Business Network would be nice to finally get, but NHL Network HD is sure not what's been missing in my life. So, I must ask the question: how the hell did this "Platinum HD" package get on our account? Back to customer service: guess what, that package just happens to be $10 a month. Remove it and we're back to the $59.99 monthly charge that will bring us back to happy subscriber land again.
Gees.what a scam. Every time a bill arrives, my head just about explodes trying to figure it out. Charges, credits, HD, Platinum HD, Service plans and on and on and pretty soon we've been bamboozled! So, now I have circled the date on my calendar for the time the next bill will be landing in my mailbox, so I can set aside another hour to figure it out and call customer service to get adjustments made. I can't wait! Did I mention the time we had the free trial HBO cancelled and the customer service representative wanted to charge us a $5 change of package fee? You give us something free in the hopes we'll forget about it or want to keep it and then you want to charge us for removing what we didn't want in the first place. I can go on and on but my blood pressure monitor is starting to beep.
Now on to problem number 3 yesterday. At the end of my time on the phone with "Bobbie" in customer service, she offered to me without my saying anything about the $16 in credits, that she could not advise me to subtract it from my bill (I hadn't even considered it at that point) and that I should call Century Link since they handle all the billing. I said ok.and thought "I've killed half an afternoon on this already and well, my internet service isn't up yet (thanks again Century Link) so why not? So, I launched into my 3rd call to your company(ies) of the day. Yes, I'm a masochist. But Bobbie was actually nice so maybe But it was not to be. This time I got somebody who sounded like Underdog's alter ego, ShoeShine Boy. If I didn't know that Wally Cox was pushing daisies, I would have thought he was moonlighting for Century Link. Everything started out OK as I explained that I had a $16 credit coming from Dish Network and wondered if I could go ahead and subtract that off my bill. Shoeshine boy must have stepped into his phonebooth and took a super energy pill out of his ring because before I knew it he was literally insulting my intelligence. He told me that can't be done because Century Link will have already paid all our fees and I will just have to wait for the next bill for the credits. When I explained that his cohort over on the Dish Network side told me to call because Century Link handles all the billing, SSB said "well, now that wouldn't make much sense would it"? Huh? I'm a customer doing what I was instructed to do but am now being told that doing so didn't make much sense. When I suggested that he was basically calling me stupid, he gathered his biggest Underdog voice and said "don't put words in my mouth". Then he did what any self-respecting cartoon superhero would do and said "have a nice day" and hung up on me! I was beginning to utter the phrase "what is your name" to indicate my "mad as hell customer status" when he was gone just like a speeding bullet. So, is this how you train customer service reps? When cornered, slam down the phone quickly..but be sure and say "have a nice day" first!!
I can guarantee you we'll be gone faster than a speeding bullet as soon as our contract is up with Dish Network, unless this billing gets straightened out. And as for Century Link.exactly which century are you referring to? I'd say the previous one considering the quality of service you provide.
Anybody out there agree the quality of customer service we've received is inadequate?
My name is Joey and I'm with CenturyLink. I'm terribly sorry to read about the trouble you've had with our company. I'll be more than happy to offer my assistance to you. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.

WARNING: Do Business With CenturyLink/Qwest At Your OWN Risk! As You're Playing With a Very LARGE, dumb, and dirty company. Don't be surprised if you LOSE.
Our small business was solicited by Qwest to switch from standard copper lines to their T1 service, which is phone and internet service. This service was to be billed at $517 per month. To my surprise for the first six months Qwest billed me $1,500 per month. Simple mistake? I don't think so. I was forced to spend countless resources and hours and hours of time to correct their billing errors. They'd never admit to the error but give the account a "credit". Really? Why don't they call it for what it is? It's a "correction"!
As a small business owner nothing is more important and critical to me than my phone and internet system. We live and die by the performance of our phones. So it's absolutely critical to me that we're provided good phone service as my livelihood along with my employee's live hood's and clients depend on it. Because of this, I grew very tired and frustrated of their incorrect billing and the cost it created for our small business. So I did what any smart business owner would do, I switched carriers.
According to Qwest we switched 8 months early. Had we continued it'd been about 4k for the "service" but since I cancelled early, Qwest is demanding $12,000. THREE times what it would have cost to continue! WOW. Now I could understand that someone could make a claim for an actual loss because of an early termination. But to charge three times as much? I believe this to be a punishment for quitting their "service" as they using the wrong start date to figure the termination charges.
Now I deal with a lot of faceless and dumb corporations every day but Qwest is by the worst company I have ever dealt with. Period. They are so unorganized it's an absolute nightmare to work with them. I would warn any business thinking of or currently doing business with CenturyLink Qwest to have a HUGE team of attorneys because you're going to need them to figure out the contract and to hold them to their end of the deal. And it would help if you really enjoy getting transferred around through a huge mess of people that don't want to help you and are confused as to why you're interrupting them.
So let this be a warning to all businesses everywhere when you do business with Qwest that you're playing with a VERY LARGE, DUMB, FACELESS, CORPORATION THAT WANTS YOU TO LOSE.
On 8/2 my account was debited $143.72 for payment of services through August. I cancelled all services on 8/7/11. I am now sent a bill for $94.16.
On 8/2 my account was debited $143.72 for all services provided under the Century Link agreement. This was telephone service and Dish Network TV service. On 8/5 all my services, were changed over to Optimum. I e-mailed and then called Century Link, to ensure the cancellation of services. I spoke to a representative whom I asked specifically, will I get a refund since I cancelled services after paying my bill for August and I only had service for 6 days? He told me I would receive a credit of two dollars and some change, after about 30 minutes I gave up. I asked about Dish Network he told me I needed to contact Dish Network; which I did. The representative for Dish Network told me I would receive a refund of about $76. Today I receive a bill for $96.84; which must be paid by August 30. Did they not cancel the service? I called when I received the bill, the number was 1-800-201-4099; I was transferred three times and then put on the forever hold button prior to hanging up. I am not paying this bill and I want my refund for my Dish Network services. This company should be out of business as they have no qualified help in the customer service department. There answer to my question of the billing, after only paying on August 2, two weeks ago and then having cancelled the service on August 7, only profiting from 5 days of service and now they want to charge me again??
This company needs an accountant who can competently figure out what amount of money was owed for the time period of August 2 to August 7 and give me the refund that I am entitled to. I want documentation of the account closure and I want it clearly spelled out that there are NO CHARGES pending.
On September 07, 2011, the business provided the following information:
CenturyLink Executive and Regulatory Services (ERS) researched the account and found that the bill cycle runs from the 7th of one month to the 7th of the next month. The bill for $143.72 printed on July 8, 2011 and was due for draft on August 1, 2011 which was prior to Ms. Jensen disconnecting telephone service. CenturyLink bills one month in advance and with the disconnect order completing on 8/5/11 that was after the due date of the July bill.
The August 8, 2011 billing statement should have issued credit for the days of the month that the service was not used. The August 8th billing statement did reflect credit for August 6-7th. The August 8th billing statement also had charges billed by Dish Network that were sent over on 7/28/11 prior to the service being disconnected. Additionally, there was a service order charge billed for the disconnect order in the amount $13.35. The final bill amount for August was $96.84 which included the Dish Network charges and the service order charge. Dish Network issued credit for $76.59 to cover the charges billed. ERS elected to issue credit for the service order charge. The final bill will print on 9/8/11 and is should be at a $0.00 balance.
ERS would like to thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns.
My response:
The above information is as clear as mud. A service charge was added for disconnection of service? Why did no one have knowledge of this when I called? Why are the consumers never told of this when they subscribe or when they disconnect?? What refund am I receiving and how much is it? Plainly, there should be no cost for the service for August 8; because I cancelled on August 7; so I am actually due a full refund. You already collected from Dish Network a refund on my behalf of $76.59; yet I have received NOTHING!Century Link has not only pocketed my $143.72; they have an additional $76.59 from Dish network. My account surely is profitable, for service I am not receiving!! I paid 143.72 so I can expect a refund of $143.72. Tell me in plain English what I am paying for, any fees or dues being deducted for the time period, and what refund I can expect to receive and WHEN I will receive it. Obviously I should receive all of my payment, since I cancelled prior to the start of the NEW BILLING CYCLE.
I paid by auto pay for five years and they never had to wait, or where inconvenienced by a late payment, yet when it comes time for a refund, it is already over a month and no refund. Just another bill! I suspect my money will remain in their savings account and they will continue to deny a refund! Send me a clear statement and my refund check. Process the claims for termination in a way that the consumer is not billed after the date of termination...long after. (almost a month)
Today, August 15 I received a bill from centuryLink previous balance $94.16; payment credit $13.85; current charges $76.59 credit (refund from Dish for payment of service not rendered after 8/5/11) total due $3.72! They are still billing me for service I did not receive; the service was cancelled turned off the last day of the billing cycle August 7. Payment was made on August 1 for the month of August in the amount of $143.72. Since no service was rendered for the billing cycle that was collected for, all the funds should be refunded promptly. Dish network refunded $76.59 which should have been sent out to me, as a refund and not Century Link. Century Link did not pay the bill, the money for the bill payment came out of my bank account, thereby it was my refund and they stole it.
Also I should receive a refund from Century Link for the telephone service, as that was not provided during the last billing cycle, which they promptly deducted via autopay from my account. I want a full refund and an investigation into deceptive billing practices and fraud, as they obviously are not correctly billing and they are cheating customers by continually billing for services not rendered after the customer has had service stopped.
I also now received a bill form Dish Network for $30! They have reactivated my account or something, as the billing period shows from 9/13-10/12. They say we owe $30; and upon calling they are charging us the $30 for shipping charges to ship THEIR equipment back to them, which we did not order, it was here when we moved in and just chose to use their service! We also had to take the receiver part down and ship it, it took me about 2 hours to pack everything nice and neat, put in paper so it would not get shaken around and they are charging me??? they did not tell me when I called about returning equipment that there would be a fee of $30; I offered to drop the equipment off at the nearest Dish network service provider as I know there are some in the valley as they came to our house to hook us up and they said NO. They insisted we "mail" back the equipment, so they should pick up the charges. And my $76 refund, they claim I have to contact Century tel to get that back! You sent it there you get it back! UGGGH! Never use Century Tel or Dish network EVER, they are scamming people and stealing their money.
N/A, INDIANA -- Please, please, please DO NOT go with Internet Provider, you will be wasting your money! Horrible service and bad customer service! I signed up under the agreement of $69 a month for Internet and TV, well after receiving bills over $160 a month, I contacted Centurylink and was told " oh, that representative must have made a mistake, we will refer them to training" !? Upon further review I found out that this is a common issue that happens, they tell you one price, sign you up and you get charged whatever they decide and say oops, the representative made a mistake, nothing we can do and might we remind you of your contract with us! Well, it doesn't end there, if my internet actually worked that would be nice, it just stops and restarts about ( no joking) 20 times a day, if your in the middle of something, well you just have to wait for it to reboot and hope it doesn't just stop. I contacted customer support about that Also, " oh, it must be the cord we sent not fitting properly, sorry that is the only cord we have available for the WiFi"!!!! Really!??? Well, I moved to a new home and was told that my service would be on the same day, as I had called a month before I was moving to ensure installation.
Nope, no internet, called and was told " oh, something's wrong with the computer that has to update, please wait until tomorrow morning, it will be on by 7:00 am"Nope, that didn't happen either, called back and heard " sorry, it seems the computer hadn't updated, everything is fine, the tech has been there and said your good to go, just waiting on this update". Okay so three days later, still no internet, well surprise here comes a tech, he tells me he is here to check my place out to make sure all is good. huh? Thought the tech had already been here! Well seems he had to run all new lines as the ones I had weren't working. Funny, I was told all was good just waiting on an computer update!
The tech, told me straight out, the customer service people will lie right to you and gave me his number to call him personally if something happens, great guy!!
My internet still sucks, don't even gave Internet half the time, but I get the bill regularly..lol
So....stay away don't put yourself through the stress of this company!
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO -- FRAUDULENT BILLING CenturyLink.
My Recommendation to other consumers: NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH CenturyLink.
After 20+ years of satisfied service with Qwest Communications that was later bought by CenturyLink I became a very dissatisfied customer!
On March 10, 2012 I dropped ALL services (phone and internet) with CenturyLink communications and switched my service to Comcast (phone, internet and cable). Comcast assured me verBally that they port the service. I went through a detailed legal process of authorizing the change by phone.
After canceling my service, I received a paper bill from CenturyLink for $96.87 for an account number, which was NOT my former CenturyLink account number. I called CenturyLink multiple times and they informed me that a new account was established for Internet service. At no time after dropping my service with them on March 10, 2012 did I authorize or utilize their Internet service. This is fraudulent billing. I requested to be transferred to the manager and multiple agents refused to transfer my call saying the charges were sustained. The agent notified me that if I did not pay, I would be turned over to a collection agency.
August 17, 2012 I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
October 29, 2012 I received a collection notice from Convergent Outsourcing.
February 13, 2013 I received a collection notice from EOS CCA collection agency with itemized list of charges:
My Requested Resolution:
1) the fraudulent charges for unauthorized internet services be dropped and 2) the unauthorized account set up in my name should be retrieved by CenturyLink from the collection agency and 3) I do not want to receive any bills from CenturyLink 4) I want an apology letter for the pain and anguish and wasted time they have caused me.
I have received no resolution and it has been nearly one year since I canceled my service with CenturyLink.
My Recommendation to other consumers: NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH CenturyLink.
LONGMONT, COLORADO -- I have had service with this company at this address for a year. The entire year, my phone didn't work the way it should. When it rained or snowed or early in the morning when there is dew, there would be horrible static in the line. I had them come over maybe 8 times to try to repair whatever this was and was never charged a repair fee. I even asked them to come early in the morning when the problem was there which they did not do.
They came when they had time so of course the problem was not as obvious when they got here. After the last attempt at a repair, I found a card on my door telling me that my phone was fixed which it wasn't. I decided at this time to do something different for my home phone. I got the phone # ported and started my new service only to find that Centurylink had tacked on an $85.00 repair charge for their last feeble attempt at a repair. I have called several times to find out what the fee was for only to be argued with, lied to, insulted and treated like complete and total crap.
They put me on hold to do some research and didn't come back on more than one occasion. The little that I did find out was that because I finally had enough of their BS and went with another company, they are now saying that the problem is in my house which is why they are charging me the $85.00. The problem isn't in my house because you go outside and plug a phone in the box, you can hear the static out there.
This company is a bunch of thieves. I wouldn't recommend them for anything.
We've been signed up for Centurytel's 1.5 MBPs High speed internet for around 2 years now, I believe. When it first became available around here, it worked fairly decently. However, in the past year that has not been the case. Around the summer of last year, for around 3 months, my internet speed dropped from delivering 150-180kb/sec downloads to 70-80kb/sec speeds or lower. It stayed that way, constantly, for around 3 months. I put in a call to a centurytel tech, only to have him come out, say there was nothing wrong, and leave. Well, that didn't help my internet speed. I know for a fact that it was not my computer, for I keep my windows updates current, my anti-virus software updated, and I have 2 different spyware scanners. I run weekly/bi-weekly scans for viruses and spyware. I also know it was not my router, because I unplugged the router and tried plugging directly into the modem, to no effect. And according to the centurytel tech, there's nothing wrong with the modem. We also have 2 computers in the household, both giving the same speeds.
Ever since the 3-month drop last summer, internet speed has been unreliable at best. I would have good days, where I would have no internet issues at all, then there would be horrible days where I would see drops to as low as 20-50 kb/sec. Not to mention that these are not peak internet surfing times, so it should not have anything to do with the ISP's servers getting too much traffic. These speeds will carry on into 12-4 A.M.
Currently, and for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been getting drops again into the 80-100kb/sec range. That's not as bad as last summer, but it still makes playing games online/watching videos very frustrating.
If there was another ISP choice in my area to switch to that wasn't dial-up, I would have taken it long ago; early termination fee or not.
I find it interesting to note that as of right now, centurytel's rating on speedtest.net is a 2.4/5, which is more than I would give them at this point.
My name is Joey and I'm with CenturyLink. Sorry to read about the trouble you've been having with your DSL service. I'll be glad to help you out. Can you email me your name, account/phone number, and any additional details on the issue? My email is email@example.com. Thanks.

I usually don't look at my bill, since all the taxes and fees drive me crazy. We only have our landline since our cell reception inside the house is inconsistent at best. Today I decided to look at our bill, since its now CentryLink, and found that there was a $5 charge on our plan that we didn't ask for. Turns out the last time I called in fall of 2008 to get rid of the junk we had on our service that we didn't need, our service was switched to the basic (that we wanted) but added on was selective call rejection (that we don't want). Now they're telling me someone from our home added it, although my husband and I did not, and our 6-year-old wouldn't know how to even dial the company. The "service" has been removed from our bill, with a $5 credit--gee, thanks--but no way to adjust for the year of erroneous charges. THE LESSON is to read your bills every month, since even the people and companies you think are allies are not, everyone is out to get money in any way possible, even and especially behind your back. The killing of an optimist; sad, isn't it?
THE OTHER ISSUE IS INTERNET: We've been here for 11 years now, and although we're only 2 miles from the county seat and have been promised internet "next year" every year for 10 years, we still don't have it. Our friends who live in the middle of chicken farms for miles around have it, but we don't. AAAAAAAARGHHHHH! We like Verizon's broadband, but in this day and age would like DSL to access and provide information & uploads for work & pleasure.
I'm not into violence or drugs, so what is a frustrated, wronged person to do? Makes me want to scrap everything, buy a horse & sheep and go live on our back 90, unfettered by "technology". Or meditate...Ohhhmmmmm. Or realize that while this situation is as aggravating as all getout, in the grand scheme of things it's insignificant. I'm grateful to have a good brain, body and home, with a good job and loving family. I'm counting my blessings on this Thanksgiving eve and cursing the ruthless companies underneath.
DENVER, COLORADO -- I ordered a package from Century Link which included voice mail and received a confirmation thereof. However, when I tried to set up my mailbox I was asked for a username which I did not have. I called customer service and was told that I did not have voice mail as part of my package. When I said that it was in my order confirmation, the representative just ignored me and repeated that it was not part of my package. After about an hour on the phone with four separate people I was told voice mail would be set up three days later. I had to escalate in order to make it nine hours later. I guess it's time to shop for another provider.
CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA -- I have direct TV through Century Link. My monthly bill has been $93 until this month when it was $158. I talked to Century Link for 3 days going through 9 people and using up a lot of cell phone minutes. Century link told me that Direct TV had double billed them. Direct TV told me that is not true. Century link told me I had to pay the full amount anyway.
I asked if my next month bill would be a $0 balance and was told I will receive a full bill next month. How can they bill me for 3 months and supply 2 months of service? I will wait until next month to see if I get a credit and if not, I will go to the BBB and AZ attorney general's office.

Donation Stela with a Curse
One of the most characteristic monuments of the Third Intermediate Period (circa 1070–653 B.C.) is the donation stela, a commemorative inscription that records the gift of land to a temple or a member of the temple staff. The texts give the conditions of the gift and the penalties to be incurred by anyone violating the terms. The punishments are usually couched in the form of curses, which, contrary to popular belief, were rare in ancient Egypt.
In the frame above the text on this stela a triad of gods associated with the city of Mendes stands facing the Libyan prince Hornakht, ruler of Mendes at the time. The prince wears the characteristic Libyan feather on his head and a short kilt with a transparent overgarment. Acting as mediator, he presents the hieroglyph for "fields" to the assembled deities. Behind him stands a flute-playing priest with a shaven head, a member of the temple staff to whom the fields are being given. Named Ankhpakhered, he was flutist of the god Horpakhered (Harpocrates), whose name means "Horus the Child" and who is shown standing between Hornakht and the god Osiris.

I was surprised by the color, clarity, and quality of this wedding band. I got it for an anniversary band because it was exactly like my wife had described one that she had seen. She was thrilled when I gave it to her. A must-have if you are a romantic at heart.
gorgeous band with brilliant diamonds. i tried three others from a reputable jeweler and returned all three. this was exactly as it was described and pictured and i am delighted with it!
My wife lost her 20 yr old wedding ring. We had talked for a few weeks about buying a replacement but no action. Then one day my wife was looking at overstock.com and found a ring she really liked and called me in to look at it. The ring looked fine and she liked it (most important) so we bought it. The ring arrived a few days later (actually one day ahead of scheduled delivery). The person the ring looks really good. The diamonds appear clear and sparkly. My wife loves it. We would recommend this ring to anyone.
The band is thinner and lighter in weight than I expected but the diamonds are even better quality than I expected and sparkle beautifully. I told my husband I would like another one just like it in another 5 years for our anniversary.. Very happy with it..
This was a replacement wedding ring and compliments my diamond solitaire nicely. I can also wear it alone. I had originally gone with a 1/2 carat ring, but decided the 1 carat looked better. Quite happy with the purchase
I bought this ring to be my wedding band. I loved the ring until i saw the diamond with numerous inclusions. Being that the ring was I1 clarity, i expected to see inclusions in the stones, but one of them has 3 sizable black flecks. In some lighting situations it is ok, and in others, the one diamond with the flecks looks much darker than the rest. I tried to ignore it, but my eye draws to it since i know it is there. If this weren't a wedding ring, I would probably overlook it as the problematic stone is off to the side. If you are buying this as a stack ring, or an anniversary ring I say give it a try. You may get lucky, you may not. The ring is sturdy feeling, the stones are evenly set, and it has brilliant sparkle. I was actually surprised by the sparkle. I would say less then half the diamonds had inclusions that i noticed without looking too hard, though they would not prevent me from keeping the ring.

I really enjoyed the season starter of Gold Rush: Alaska. While I wish all the men heading out the very best I do hope that it doesn't spark too much of a "Rush" since there is a high probability of disaster on many levels and a very slim chance of actually striking it rich.
