Special students are those who have at least a bachelor's degree and wish to enroll in graduate courses without pursuing a graduate degree or certificate at Loyola. To become a special student, an individual must submit an application, application fee, transcripts which verify receipt of the college/graduate degrees, and if applicable, meet departmental graduate admission standards. Not all programs offer the special student option. Applicants must check with their program of interest to ensure that they are eligible to be considered. Applicants may take no more than 6 credits as special student status. Individuals who wish to continue beyond the two course non-degree limit must formally apply for admission to a degree or post-master's certificate program.
Fall Semester: July 15* Spring Semester: November 15* Summer Sessions: April 1*
*At the discretion of the department, applications will continue to be reviewed after the application deadline on a space-available basis.
Required application materials include:
It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that a completed application and all supplemental materials are received by the application deadline. Supplemental materials, once received, become the property of Loyola University Maryland and cannot be returned.
Supplemental application documents should be submitted directly to:
Loyola University Maryland Graduate Admission Processing Center P.O. Box 1447 Beltsville, MD 20704 Or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
Track your application >>
It is the policy of departmental admission committees to give promising applicants the opportunity to undertake graduate work. A careful examination of an applicant's academic and professional qualifications precedes every admission decision. The committees look for previous academic achievement by considering an applicant's undergraduate and graduate records. Work experience is assessed through the presentation of a resume or vitae and professional references.
Applicants accepted for graduate study will be advised in writing. At the time of admission, individuals will be informed of any courses for which they have qualified for advanced standing and/or additional courses or prerequisites requiring completion before commencing their graduate studies. A program advisor who assists in planning a program of study will be assigned, and students are responsible for discussing any special needs they may have with their advisor.

A Question ?
I am not a Ubuntu guy. I was rather a Fedora lover.
But I switched to Ubuntu as my office also uses Ubuntu with UbuntuOne. And upcoming Steam.
Currently I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
Will the Upgrade Manager upgrade this to 12.10 ?
Just did my upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 via the upgrade manager. Im an FGLRX user as well. The upgrade process was about as perfect as you could hope for. Rebooted and logged and it all worked perfectly.
No, by default the update manager will only notify you and ask whether you want to upgrade when the next LTS(Long Term Support) comes out(about 1.5 years from now), since the one you have is also LTS.
By clicking on "Settings" on the update manager window, you can change this behavior, to notify never or for any new release. Choosing the latest will cause the update manager to notify you about 12.10 release and ask whether you'd like to upgrade.
Personally I'd suggest clean install, just to be sure. If you go with upgrade, you might want to disable any extra PPAs first and uninstall any proprietary graphics drivers that may be installed(and reinstall them after). Not sure if the latest is needed, although some PPAs had a significant chance of not working for 12.10 yet. I've never done an upgrade on a new Ubuntu personally though, so know this while you read this(oops, you probably already have).
Honestly the quality of quantal is something that would be expected from a beta.
#1 installing nvidia binary drivers via software sources = fails silently and desktop does not show up anymore after reboot.
#2 Needs config hacking if you only have one OS installed and you want to get to the grub menu.
#3 the web apps in launcher (ubuntu one music, amazon) as first class citizens only work for firefox as default browser. With chromium they open up as separate chromium launcher icons.
#4 the log viewer does nothing when launched from the dash. If launched from command line the timestamp color is same as the background color and cannot be changed.
#5 The disk utility has lost much functionality, most notably all md raid capability and disk benchmarking feature. Also the UI design has regressed in my opinion. The text inside the boxes that show contents of disks is such color compared to background it is next to impossible to distinguish if not selecting it.
#6 If disk encryption is chosen at install time, then the stock nouveau driver setup at boot result on my computer in monitor going to "no signal" and it only wakes to ask for decryption password after pressing any key. This is fixed once the binary driver is successfully installed.
#7 Sometimes it says something like "attempting to kill remaining processes ... [FAILED]" just when i shut down. That does not sound good :[
#8 The problem with gstreamer, present also in 12.04, that prevents most MP4 files from playing is still not fixed, even though the fix has been available for quite some time upstream.
#9 Spring RTS, the most popular open source RTS, included in ubuntu repositories, still does not and never has worked correctly with unity. When window is maximized the titlebar is not removed as with all other windows. The game is not at fault since the same feature as a plugin for gnome-shell works flawlessly.
These are the problems i have encountered on my first computer i have installed quantal to, that i can remember off the bat. I have read about many more issues, especially related to graphics glitches and i won't even mention the issues with llvm if no 3d acceleration is found.
ps. my setup is as ordinary as it gets: c2d e8500 / gts250 / asus p5q motherboard and dvi monitor.
To be fair i have to also say something positive here;
+ My bluetooth logitech dinovo edge keyboard/mouse now works out of the box without the need to change a config parameter in some file. In 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04 the live cd is unusable since the keyboard&mouse is not detected. Curiously it worked in 10.10 so this is only a regression fix though.

It seems the needed package containing the kernel header files for proprietary graphics drivers(and other modules) to compile the DKMS module(hope all terminology is right ) is not installed by default ..
************************************************** *******************
************************************************** *******************
You probably need to install it, it should be "linux-headers-generic". If you have pae kernel or something it'd be "linux-headers-generic-pae".
I think there's a button you can press during boot to get to grub too actually.

Discussion of the Week - Horror? What's Horror?
My brother brought this incredible discussion to me earlier tonight and we spent a good half hour talking about it. It's something i've thought about from time to time and have had problems with when it comes to putting DVD's on my shelf (I seperate them by genre) and although i'm pretty sure we've finally pinpointed the correct iron clad answer to the question, I wanted to discuss it with you guys....
What constitutes a "horror" movie? In other words - What is the one common thread that a movie must have to make it a "horror movie", in your mind?
My brother first presented me with the idea that a movie must have supernatural elements to make it a horror movie. While supernatural elements in a movie usually would make it a horror movie, we quickly debunked this idea. There aint nothin supernatural about Texas Chainsaw Massacre, for example. My initial feeling was that a horror movie is a movie where someone or something is going around killing people with no motive or reason. My argument was that a movie like The Departed or No Country For Old Men has tons of gore, killing, and death, but it's all for a reason, at least in the character's minds, whereas a movie like Chainsaw or Jaws is just a dude/animal going around killing people really for no reason other than that he likes killing people. While that seems like a good definition for a horror movie at first, it opens up a whole can of worms. You can argue that Leatherface had motive (people trespassing) and a movie like Seven or even Saw pretty much debunks that myth totally. John Doe had a motive. Jigsaw had a reason. Does that make those movies cease to be horror movies? Obviously not. And what about Taxi Driver? Why is that not a horror movie? It's essentially just a dude going around killing people so shouldn't it be considered horror going by this rule I came up with? Sure you could argue that he had a motive in his own mind but we've already proven that a viable motive alone does not make a movie not a horror movie. There went that idea out the window. At this point we were totally stumped and so I regrettably turned to Wikipedia in my desperation, which turned out to provide the ultimate answer to the question :
"Horror films are movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, horror and terror from viewers."
In other words - any movie that is TRYING to scare you is a horror movie. It's pretty much iron clad and i'd challenge you to come up with a movie considered to be horror that is an exception to this rule. I certaintly can't come up with one and American Psycho has now been moved to the Drama shelf of my collection. Sure it's got a dude chopping up people with an axe and a chainsaw but its goal isn't really to scare, is it?
So even though i've kinda already answered this one (or Wikipedia has, rather), I still want to get your guys' opinions. Can you come up with any exceptions to this rule or do you have your own definition of what makes a movie a horror movie? Leave a comment and let me know!

For me, horror is all about one thing: isolation. The best horror movies distill all of your feelings into feeling all alone. Even in a group of people, even in a city full of people, there's always that feeling the characters are all alone and helpless. Horror is taking situations and characters and making it seem removed from the norm. Hence the disbelieving characters, desolate landscapes, and preternatural situations that tend to permeate the genre.

Yeah, it's tough isn't it?
I usually have difficulties with this too especially when it comes seperating "Thrillers" and "Sci-Fi" because often times you can attach "Horror" to both of those.
I really can't think of any film that doesn't have the intent to terrify that I would consider a horror movie. Even comedy horror films like 'Ghostbusters' have their scary moments. Who doesn't get creeped out by the Librarian?
'American Psycho' is a tad difficult to categorize. It's very unique satirical character study film that has elements of horror but I'm not sure if I would classify it in the horror genre though. - August 20, 2009 at 2:15 PM
- Johnny said...
I've always had trouble classifying American Psycho. I guess there are some films that border on the edge of horror without really being horror and that movie is definetly one of those.
- August 20, 2009 at 2:17 PM
- Zacery Nova said...
Well, I watched "2001 Maniacs" and it didn't illicit fear, terror or horror - it was hilarious. Yet it's rightly categorized as a horror, but not a comedy. How do the camp humorous horrors fit in?
- August 20, 2009 at 2:34 PM
- Johnny said...
Well, horror/comedys are just a sub-genre of horror.
- August 20, 2009 at 2:44 PM
- Adam7T said...
I agree that a horror films intention is usually to illicit fear and terror from the viewer, but I think the really good ones also make some kind of a statement about mankind as well.
- August 21, 2009 at 2:15 PM
- OMGSeriously said...
Yeah in the end no matter how it's done I think it's supposed to strike fear, or terror and in a way at the same time maybe even gross out the viewer.

Horror is hard to define, because it's based pure emotion. There are many aspects to this emotion and it effects individuals differently. What terrifies you, could be tame to me. Acts that horrorify you, may be a daily occurence in my life. You get the point.
So to me, the broad definition of horror is anything that attempts to tap into emotions of fear through physical or ceberal actions. - November 11, 2009 at 8:57 AM

Ford's home EV charging station stacks up against competitors
Article Summary
Home charging stations aren't included in the purchase price of the growing numbers of electric vehicles from major automakers, so unless you live next door to a public charging station or are one of the 4,400 Volt owners to snap up a free one from GM, you'll be forced to shell out some extra cash if you want a faster charging option than is possible with the included 120-volt cable. At least Ford's home charging station for its new Focus Electric is shaping-up to be little cheaper and more flexible than some competitor offerings.

Super Slater Bros.
It's October – which can only mean two things here at Cushe HQ: we're finalizing our Halloween costume (sexy shoe maker… duh) and we're looking forward to hanging with the Slater brothers at their invitational surf and skate comp next weekend!
For the past few years we've been proud to be a part of the Slater Brothers Invitational down in Cocoa Beach, FL. The three days of competition has always been great, and you can catch some of it on the live web stream when things kick off on October 27th. The entire event benefits the World Skin Cancer Foundation, which we can all get on board with.
If you are lucky enough to be in the area, or you're heading to the competition, stop by and say hi to us. We'll probably be passing out some swag, and we're really good at putting sunscreen on your back.

I don't really know all the internals of BMP file format but if you are telling that what Gimps saves is an BMP3 all we have do to is to improve a little bit the export-to-BMP3 from ImageMagick.
I wasn't able to find *any* program that would fail to load the GIMP BMP/ARGB format and there are 5 cases where the alpha channel is loaded: Windows API , Gimp, Photoshop, Safari and Chrome.
Anyway, I managed to get away from BMP by switching to PNG+some lines of code. But, I would like to continue work with you on solving this because ImageMagick is a great product and I want to improve it.

What is the difference between these?
What is the difference between these?
I think the type one is the "regular" license and the type two is the "special" or high dollar license. About $200 difference.
Every hunting season you miss is one you can not make up.
The above post is not correct . . .
The difference between a type 1 and type 2 antelope license is typically one of two things: 1: The season is different, or 2: The area within the larger area is different (usually smaller). For instance, the 47 Type 2 is just a different season length, but a 62-2 is a different, much smaller, area you can hunt.
This is not the difference. The difference between the 2 types has to be looked up in the tables of the various hunts. Most are the starting date. Usually the type 2 hunts start later than the type 1. There also can be other differences, e.g. look at Unit 52. Type 2 is valid only in the portion south of North Spring Creek. In this unit they both start on the same day.
You really need to get the booklet and look at the units to see the differences. Hope this helps.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
Type 1 license in general these are unit wide, "one antelope" tags. Check to verify the description when applying.
Type 2 license (as mentioned above) is usually a variation, like a limited area within the unit, or limited season dates. Check to verify the description when applying.
Regular or Special" You can apply in the "regular" or "special" drawing for either a Type 1 or a Type 2 tag. If you apply in the "special" drawing, the tag will cost more, but generally (not always) your draw odds will be better. The tag drawn on either the "regular" or "special" is the identical tag in all other ways.
Can check at www.diyhuntingmaps.com as well
Speaking of maps, for Utah I was looking in the hunting regulations for a pronghorn unit map, but could find none. Anyone have an idea about that?
Zim, stick w/ Wyoming for antelope. I live in Utah and I've hunted the two top areas in Utah for antelope. They weren't any better than a mid-tier Wyoming hunt. They manage antelope for numbers in Utah not trophies.
Thanks 30, I put in for points anyway. The season is so short in UT and right in the middle of the elk rut. Bad timing. I only apply there because I'm trying to draw my deer tag with 16 points.

well i will give it a try, have been toying back and forth, back and forth between the note 2 and the iphone5 for verizon. each phone has great features. but in the end i want the ihpone5. have had many droids and its time to move up and experience a class phone. thank you for my vote to be entered for the iphone5 for verizon
I would like the iPad 3 (the newest, not the mini) because it would be great to play games on as well as read on
Hi there!
I'd love to actually own an iPad or an iPad mini. (I'd probably want an iPhone 5 (unlocked) even more, but at $600+, even a gift card of $350 wouldn't help a ton.) I am a student who really, really enjoys design, both onscreen and hardware, and I especially love Apple's clean, refined aesthetic. I'm starting down the road to photography (Instagram @suitjackets) and either iPad would be a spectacular editor. Also, I'm getting into professional music, and GarageBand on iPad is fantastic — I've tried it out. Finally, I'm just an Apple lover. So, to fully experience the true power of iOS, an A6X processor (or an A5 ;-) would really be cool!
One last thing: I gotta say, this is awfully nice of you Mobile Nations staff! You're giving a grand total of $1400 away just 'cause. (One could even say it's a RESOLUTIONARY thing to do! :-) And I hate to grovel and beg, but, I guess those were the instructions. What you're doing defines the holiday spirit.
Great idea, and good luck to all participants! Good tidings :-)
I would like a iPad mini because my gf is bugging me for one for Christmas and I can't afford to buy her one for Christmas.
since I didn't win the last contest for birthday, maybe this time I can win an iPhone 5 for Christmas.
I work with technology at a school district, it seems everyone (even students) have an iPad but me! Need one to test out all our new apps and such.
iPhone 5 please, my 4S' batter is horrible now and I don't have a warranty. I'd love a nice new phone that won't cost me an arm and a leg! Thank you!!
I would like to win the iPad because my daughters and I are fighting over our iPad right now. Merry Christmas!
I want to get a iPad LTE 32G AT&T to replace my WIFI 3rd Gen iPad. I just don't want to keep turning the Hotspot feature on my phone everything I want to use the iPad, or keep deleting apps and game so I can rent a movie!!!!! Also my iPad is acting funny since iOS 6 update. I hope I win. :)
I would love a new iPad.
Why ... well for the same reason most other people do; I like new shiny things! I would love to become more mobile with my workflows. I want to fill in my spare time, reading a book, flinging some irate birds and/or watching the latest episode of my favorite show.
Thanks for this opportunity and wish everyone the best of luck and a Merry Christmas :)
I'd like an iPhone 5 for my wife. She's been eyeing iphone to replace her aging Blackberry cause she wants to take better pics and video of our daughter. This would make a great Christmas gift :)
I would like to win an iPhone 5 and an iPad 4 to give to my mom for christmas. Thank you Santa iMore.
iPhone 5 please. I am slowly moving to the apple ecosystem, what better way than to start with an iPhone!?
I would love a white 32 GB iPhone 5.
The gift card would definitely be beneficial to my purchase.
Thanks so much!
I would really like to win an iPad Mini. I know it doesn't have "Retina", but I played with one in the stores and the form factor is right up my alley as an avid reader.
I would love to have an Apple IPad so that I can finally get rid of my old and discontinued HP Touchpad but to be honest any Apple product would make my life easier and less boring.
iPad mini would be so awesome :-) I homeschool my children and this would bring their learning to a whole new level :-)
I'd love to use an iPad mini in my classroom! There are some really cool tuner apps available, and the kids are enamored with iPads!
Would be awesome to win the iPad mini for my mom. she's about 2,500 miles away 70 years old and has yet to own a real Apple device. Would be nice to get her on board and start face timing with her.
I would love an iPad for my family! I'm away at school and it would be great to FaceTime and iMessage with them whenever I please. There's so much you can do on them, the possibilities for digital artwork and photography are endless!
An Iphone5 on Verizon's network, cause I currently cannot afford one, merry Christmas and happy holidays to those of u who don't celebrate christmas
I would like to win an iPhone 5 so my son will have a phone I can trust while he's at college. Thanks for your consideration !
Just got my iPhone 5 last month at work (first iPhone ever, yeah!), would love to be able to get my wife one too and move her off her BlackBerry.
White iPad Mini! I've always wanted a tablet in the 7" category and I think the iPad Mini is the best choice for me. :)
Ipad mini please. I never get to use my iPad 2 because the wife and kids are always using it. Happy Holidays.
I would like the new iPad for my 12 year old son. He has Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD and this would help him tremendously with communicating, comprehending and organization. He is very smart with electronics and has wanted an iPad for quite a while now and I know he would love to have one.
ipad mini white 32gb because i am an apple nerd and it will be easier for me to have an ipad mini. please!
I would like a 16 GB iPad mini please. It will be perfect for the nightly watching TV/ surfing web routine for myself and companion (also a good compliment to my new iPhone 5). :)

I would love to win an iPhone 5! The AT&T version would be perfect, as it works with Canadian carriers. iMore, you would make my year if I won!
I would love an ipad or ipad mini. I have been wanting one but it's been out of budget for now sadly and it would be greatly appreciated. preference would be black if optional but any ipad would be great
An iPad would be great to use in my classroom! It's a great teaching tool, plus nice for me too.
64 gb Verizon iPhone 5 please, need to upgrade my 4. Guess I'll have to change my screen name then if I win.
I would like an iPhone 5. My current phone runs a competing OS and and has a cracked screen. An iOS device would make my household an Apple one
My wife and both were first in line for the iPhone when everyone doubted that the iPhone would change the world forever. I posted article everywhere I could on how many times I watched the announcement . It almost became a favorite movie of mine that I watch still now. Both my wife and spent 600+on them a piece. They were the best I have ever seen and the most beloved gadget I have had at that time. Fast forward now one kid later and a couple more bills added a month and what do you have. I guy that has to settle for trades of phones that are older and less that the latest. To be able to land a white iPhone 5 by AT&T would mean the world to me. It would a completion back to where it all begun for me. So yes please , allow me a white snowing Christmas with a white beautiful iPhone 5. Thank you, I believe I will win, I am going to win(at least this is what they tell me I should confess about my life)))). If it works, boy it's going to blow my mind.

chickpea and leek soup recipe
I'm feeling way better than I did a few days ago. I've been drinking loads of my lemon rosemary tea and clearing my sinuses with this, but Si's still been complaining that I'm keeping him awake with my constant dry cough all night long. I've been so tired it hasn't even been waking me up, but the nudge usually comes in at around 2am, a short sharp pang to the ribs, followed by a somewhat grumpy get a damn cough lolly would ya. I awake in the morning with that lovely furry mouth-feel and wonder how it is that I can still have a teeny little bit of lozenge on my tongue after all those hours of sleep?
I don't know what it is but after hot lemon honey, like most people, I then crave soup when I'm sick. There's loads of studies that have been done to prove that chicken soup does actually speed up recovery of the common cold, but I don't reckon you need the chicken, just delete the en and add in pea and you have yourself a nourishing, warming, tasty chickpea and leek soup instead.
I've been wanting to play around with this soup idea for the past few weeks. Leeks are everywhere at the moment and with just a handful of pantry staples you can throw this together in very little time. I prefer to soak and cook the chickpeas myself whenever possible, but should you only have tinned ones to work with this could come together in as little time as it takes for you to toast and butter some bread.
I like to slather on some extra olive oil to serve but if you feel like it (and tolerate) I imagine some shavings of parmesan or pecorino cheese could take this soup to the next level.
What do you crave when you aren't feeling well?
chickpea and leek soup
If you are using tinned chickpeas, drain and rinse them well and just use 1 litre of fresh water in place of the cooking liquor. Don't be tempted to use the manky brine they come in.
serves 4-6
- 1 1/2 cups (approx 250g) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight in plenty of water and a pinch of baking soda (or you could use approx 3 cans of chickpeas, rinsed and drained well)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
- 1 large leek, washed well and thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- gluten-free soy sauce or white miso paste, to taste, optional

Delicious indeed, I'm so glad you're on the mend. I need a good soup when I'm ill, I usually go for a Thai style chicken and corn. The trouble its I usually feel to crappy to make it when I really need it :)
ReplyDeleteI often add kelp to thinks soups and stews - feel like that helps with boosting the nutrients? Very 70s!
PS I love your Friday night (NZ time) posts...sadly I'm usually at home at that time ;)- JacquieJuly 27, 2012 at 8:12 PM
My kids favorite soup is chicken noodle soup without the chicken.Usually gets a giggle from people.A big bowl of rice noodles with a miso broth and whatever vegies in the fridge soup is what they actually get.Can not make my oldest eat a chickpea,he aways has a pile beside his plate.
ReplyDelete i hope you are well on your way to a full recovery! i've been having issues with dried anything recently. i've never heard of the pinch of baking soda in the overnight soak water before. does that help in the softening of the chickpeas? and would this trick help with other dried stuff like black beans?
typically when i'm sick i crave chao (rice porridge) with lots of ginger + black pepper.RepliesOh yum, I love chao, so do my kids.
Re: baking soda, I've always added a pinch to the soaking water of chickpeas. Some people add a little pinch to the water when cooking them too, but I find they can go too mushy so just add it to my soaking water. It helps to soften them and I have a feeling it makes them more digestible too, although don't quote me on that. I've not tried it with other beans, but I don't see the harm in trying. xx
I'm sorry to hear you've been sick - those dry coughs are awful and can take so long to go away. Sounds like you are taking good care of yourself with lots of tea and this delicious soup - love chickpeas and leeks. We like Greek egg-lemon soup with rice quite a bit, and if I have a cold I crave something spicy like hot and sour soup. Hope you are all better soon!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post and have included it in my July 2012 roundup of meatless meals. Thanks for the fresh approach and the inspiration! It's rare that I'll make soup this time of year but I sure plan to now!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to learn there is another option apart from Chicken soup when I am down with a flu. This chickpea and leek soup looks really soothing and comforting. I'd love to try soonest.

I rented a movie for $1 on the Internet www.Blockbusterexpress.com on 7/10 via their website www.blockbusterexpress.com. I picked up the movie (DVD) at the machine located at Tops Super Foods. I watched the movie and returned it to the machine before 9 PM on 7/11 so there would be on charge. The movie was a 24 hour rental due before 9PM.
I mistakenly inserted the container without the actual DVD and got a message no DVD was included but the container was not returned. The machine should return the container as without it, there is no way to return the DVD. Anyway, I went into the store and the clerk told me this had been done before, she even showed me DVD's in plastic bags. The clerk told me to bring the DVD back in a plastic bag. I went home immediate, got the DVD and returned to the store in a zip lock bag, before 9 PM on 7/11, with a copy of my online rental receipt so there would be no mistake it was my movie being returned ON TIME.
When I got home, I also email Blockbuster Express via the website that I had done this. That I mistakenly had put the container in without the DVD but that the DVD was in the store in a plastic bag with my online rental receipt.
The next week I noticed two charges fo $1.06 each were pending my bank account ( on hold) for the one night rental and one night late fee on this movie. I emailed Blockbuster customer service and never got a response, but the late charge both charges were deleted from my account on hold and not applied to my balance.
Now over 2 weeks later, I got a charge back on the $1.06 rental plust now I am got billed $26.50 for the movie. I called Blockbuster 800 number, and they said they couldn't do anything that the store had to call them. I went to the store and they said the Blockbuster guy that checks the machine had been there twice but refused to take mine or another movie with the same problem. They called the help desk and was told I had to call Blockbuster, but I had and the help desk (I think I got India) said the store had to call them.
Last week I again emailed Blockbuster Customer service explaining the movie was at the store inside awaiting pickup and that their representative had refused to take it back. He allegedly said he had to talk to his supervisor. I also went back to the store yesterday and the movie is still there.
But this is plain old fraud. I returned the movie and on time. I have emailed and called Blockbuster. The store keeps giving me the runaround. They claim it isn't their business, yet the machine is on their property and they took the DVD. It sits under the cash register's desk at the store. And I have paid $26.50 for a movie I returned on time. Plus as of 8/23, there are DUPLICATE charges against my bank card for this rental. And when I called today, they couldn't understand why, but they couldn't do anything either. Firms that use India for customer service calls should state so in they contracts. I know I would not use them.
Blockbuster's service has gone to pot over the past couple months. I have emailed them to complain about ten times and finally sent them the following email. You won't believe Fredrich's (a customer service rep) response... then again you probably will.
Understand that I have received quite a number of responses over the past couple months. Every one of them tries to come up with a possible explanation for the latest example I wrote to you about. Not one person has taken the time to look at the big picture. Here goes one last time before I cancel and go back to Netflix…
There have always been more than enough movies in my queue and the top ones are always available. The representative who creatively explained that my problem was that the ones at the top weren't available until tomorrow has no idea that Tuesday's releases are available by mail on Monday. This is scary because there aren't that many policies he needs to know to do his job. I never add new releases to my queue until the weekend before their release.
For years and years and years, aside from at most a handful of times, every time I dropped a movie off at the store, a replacement was shipped to me the very next day. ALWAYS.
For at least the past two months, nothing is ever shipped the next day, nothing is ever shipped the day after that, and on the third day I usually receive an email saying that the movie I returned to the store has been received by your warehouse. I don't care about this and I turned this email notice off in my online options many years ago, but for some reason at the same time my problems began, I started receiving these notices again. Anyway, on the third or fourth day I am usually sent one or two movies and a few days later the remainder.
Every weekend I add the big name releases that are releasing on Tuesday and move them to the top, so my queue is not filled with obscure titles that need to be shipped cross country. As I stated previously, if I returned my three movies over the weekend, three of the new releases were always shipped to me on Monday. ALWAYS. For the past few months, not one time have they all been shipped to me by the end of the day Wednesday.
I will ask again. Can someone please pass this problem up to someone with authority past the level where the representative has the choice of a dozen canned responses to choose from. This is not an isolated instance. I want to know what changed over there that made a great service a horrible one. Thank you… again.
Oh, and please DO NOT say "please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with" unless you actually help me this time. Thanks.
Fredrich's response:
I understand that you are waiting for your third movie to be shipped.
Our goal is to ship the movies that are most important to you as reflected by the top priorities you've set in your queue. Instead of sending something from the middle or bottom of your queue, we may skip a shipment for an extra day or two so that we'll always send the titles you want most.
It appears that five of your top selection are yet to be released on 10/13/2009. Once these titles are made available, rest assured that they will be shipped to you.
We recommend you keep 15 or more "Available" movies at the top of your queue to keep movies coming and ensure prompt shipment.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Blockbuster Customer Care
To Whom It May Concern;
Dear Michelle T., and Michelle T's Supervisor,
I tried several times yesterday Sat May 16, 2009 to report the problem on your website but your website was down for "remodeling" to improve your customer experience.
I pay for and enjoy watching the DVD's on my free time - weekends. I had no idea that I could not report the problem after I returned a video.
* BLOCKBUSTER Total Access Premium
* $34.99 / month (plus taxes)
3 at-a-time, Unlimited mailings
Unlimited in-store movie exchanges
I would suggest you email these kind of requirements when enrollment begins or as you change the rules, not when a problem arises. It makes it seem as if you do not care about your customers problems as much as you care about not being wrong.
I would ask that you send me 2 coupons because the Hardy Boys was a 2 disc series and I was unable to watch the series as well as unable to report the problem (due to no fault of my own) and I got no empathy (from Customer Care Rep Michelle T.) for the problem, just excuses which really makes me want to change to Netflix.
As a courtesy I'd like to request you forward my complaint to a supervisor. I am very disappointed in the response I received from Michelle T.
I paid for the Total Access Premium so I could receive undamaged DVD's in the mail and then return them to the store for a free in-store rental. I find it humorous Michelle suggests my regular service as a solution to being shipped damaged DVD. Is that Blockbuster's official answer to shipping damaged DVD's instead of workable ones. I don't think that's what I signed up to get and I believe it maybe illegal to falsely charge for a DVD rental and send unworkable DVD's with no reimbursement for the charge of the rental.
I appreciate you sending this letter to Michelle T's superior and hopefully they will respond in a more caring fashion then she did. Her signature is very disingenuous.

Dear Larry,
Thank you for contacting Blockbuster Customer Care.
I understand that you received a damaged movie, "Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse Club Featuring The Hardy Boys 1956-1957 - Disc 2".
Since "Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse Club Featuring The Hardy Boys 1956-1957 - Disc 2" has already been checked in, I don't have the ability to report the problem for you.
In the future, we would very much appreciate reporting an issue online before sending the damage disc back. This helps us track down the damage DVD before getting shipped to another customer. Additionally, if you ever receive any damage discs, you can always take the DVD in its return mailer to a local Blockbuster store and exchange it for a free in-store rental as part of your Total Access benefits.
As a one time courtesy, I'm sending you an e-coupon. Just print it out and present it to any participating Blockbuster outlets for a free movie rental. You will be receiving a separate email within 24 hours and please also check your spam folder.
To ensure consistent, prompt shipments, please keep more than 15 "Available" titles at the top of your queue.
Should there be anything else, feel free to let us know.
Always here to help,
Blockbuster Customer Care
Customer (Larry Simpson)
Hello, We received the Hardy Boys disc 1 and 2 and disc two was badly scratched I tried to report it yesterday but your website was down. So I returned to the store and wrote on the envelope damaged and put a sticky not on it. I came home to report and see that I can only report the DVD's I currently have in my possession.
I'd appreciate it if you credit my account.
Larry Simpson
SEFFNER, FLORIDA -- The Blockbuster store I am complaining about store #12377. It is located at 806 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Seffner, FL 33584.
I have been a Blockbuster customer for years and have never had a problem in any store I have gone into. I moved, and decided to go to above store; however I couldn't find my card. I have always been able to use my Drivers License, but the guy at the counter said he couldn't find my account, so I reopened another account at that location. I gave them my debit card information with the understanding that they were a legitimate, respected company and would use the information responsibly. I rented a couple of movies, and left them on the roof of my car as I drove off.
They charged my card and then I proceed to rent more movies there. I usually rent about 5 at a time. I rented a few with no problems, and low and behold after just a couple of times renting at this store, they are now claiming I did not return a movie. I was checking my bank account online, and noticed a $10.69 charge from Blockbusters. I didn't know what this charge was so I called and spoke with one of the associates. He informed me the charge was from Dora the Explorer that I did not return. I specifically remember returning that movie, because at first I couldn't find the case and had to search my son's room for it. I found it and when we got to Blockbusters I put the movies in the drop box and my son got all upset because he thought I threw his Dora movie away. I told him that I returned that movie and he said he would look.
While I was on hold, I thought about it and I never received a phone call from them telling me I had a movie out late. I had recently changed my cell phone service and got a new phone number, so I thought that I hadn't updated my phone number. When he came back and told me he couldn't find it, I asked him to update my phone number. He sighed and asked me what my number was and I gave it to him. He said that was the number that they had on file for me. I didn't specifically ever remember giving them my phone number, but asked him if they had my correct phone number why I didn't receive a phone call about an over due movie, I may have been able to get this fixed 2 weeks ago.
He then told me that the computer shows they did call me, and mentioned that I had a movie out that was one day overdue, and that I would start receiving phone calls tomorrow about it. I went on about the movie I just paid for that I do not have. He said he looked and they didn't have it in their store. I told him that I would be in, to find out more about this. I went in and told him that I wanted him to find my movie. He took me to shelf where it would be and showed me that it was not there. He said that when I spoke with him on the phone that he looked in a mix match drawer. I asked him to look again, and he did not. I asked him if they had a defective drawer that it could have gotten thrown in and he didn't respond and walked behind the counter to talk to another associate. He told me I could talk to the store manager tomorrow.
It concerned me that he said my number was correct in the system, even though I didn't receive any calls, that he says that computer shows that I did get, and also that he made no effort to look for the movie while I was in the store. When I left and got home, I thought about it and regardless if I could get this problem resolved store level, I would never return to that store again, because I think that something is not right there, I don't think they look for movies, or care, or try and cover up their own mistakes at the expense of the customer. So I went on-line and emailed Blockbusters and explained the situation and told that I would never return to the store again, however whether or not I continue going to any Blockbusters ever again is dependent on whether or not I get my $10.69 back.
I told them that there are way too many options out there to continue going to a company that took my money, which is what they did, because they took my money and I received no benefit at all from it. I don't have the movie but I'm out $10.69. They have my movie somewhere and now have an extra $10.69. The next day I returned the movies that I had previously rented, when I returned my other movies and asked the girl at the counter to give me documentation that I returned these movies. She asked the same guy that I spoke with the day before how to do it, and he told her to print a history.
She did and handed the receipt to me. It had notes on the receipt that he had put on my account about my visit with him yesterday, saying that I was upset and rude to him. I was absolutely upset, he was telling me I didn't return a movie, that I did- he was telling me I got phone calls that I did not receive, and would not look for my movie while I was there in the store, even though he claimed to look for it while I was on the phone. I just kind of chuckled when I saw the comments on the receipt because in the end I get the last laugh.
There went a large amount of money that I would have put into that store. One day he will grow up and realize that it's customers that give him a paycheck, and if he continues acting the way he does and loses more customers, he's going to be looking for a new job when it shuts down because it's not making any money. He can say what he wants about me, in the end I'm one of the reasons he got a paycheck and that reason is gone. Though it doesn't seem like a lot of money, it's still my money. I work to hard for my money, for someone to just take it for no reason. I don't have $10.69 to just throw away.
I have not received a phone call as of yet about my complaint so I guess Blockbusters doesn't care if yet another customer is gone, because they got their $10.69. I will now post this on any consumer complaint board that I can find on-line.
PATHOGUE, NEW YORK -- To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express concerns of a recent incident that occurred at Blockbuster in Patchogue NY, on 11/05/2010 at 10:30 P.M. The treatment we received has left us greatly disappointed.
On the above mentioned date my husband and I took our 7 year old daughter to Blockbuster to rent movies as part of our normal weekend routine. Unfortunately we had spent some time reviewing the new releases when our daughter requested that she badly needed to use the lavatory. We asked our daughter to wait s little until we can speak with someone who can help us. We were also faced with the fact that we do live several miles away from Blockbuster and we would not possibly make it home in time for her to use the bathroom. As we were almost nearing the time to purchase our order, my husband decided to ask one of the employees if our daughter would be able to use their bathroom. But without any hesitation, the employee named Phil quickly responded that they do not have a bathroom on the premise. With that information being conveyed, our daughter felt that she didn't have a choice but to wait. However she remained in tremendous discomfort.
As a few more minutes passed, we could not wait any longer. Our daughter began crying hysterically as she expressed that she was experiencing a great deal of pain. We then dropped our movies on the counter and quickly left. All the way home we tried comforting her but nevertheless, she ended up defecating on herself which happens to be several miles away from home.
My husband and I could not believe that Blockbuster, a business open to the public does not have a bathroom for customers' use. This is also with thought that many people including ourselves spend a descent amount of time with their children shopping for movies at Blockbuster.
This is certainly not good business practice and quite frankly, a matter of discrimination. We strongly concluded that to deprive a seven year old little girl the use of a bathroom, is clearly unethical and discriminatory.
Our belief was later supported when we spoke to the manager Brian and he informed us that they do have a bathroom, but only for private use. So what happens here when a child needs to use the bathroom? Are they suggesting that they should hold it and go elsewhere?
MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA -- On 10 September 2010, I rent a movie at Block Buster Express Kiosk at Safeway Store address 555 E Calaveras Blvd, Milpitas, California. I returned the movie about 6.55 PM before 9PM dateline. The machine charged me again for another night (late fee) .
I called the Blockbuster 1877-300-2128 and they said sorry about the double charges and gave me a coupon for next time rental and they said they will send a technician to fix the Kiosk problem . On 19 September 2010, I use my coupon for a movie, this time I brought the movie back at 5 PM, the machine charge me $1.09 for late fee. The coupon they gave me is worth nothing. I called the customer service again and tell them the problem, At first, I think something wrong with the software and so I asked them to fix the machines. They told me that they will reverse the charge but they never do it. After I read so many complaints about the Block Buster Kiosks will charge you twice at different locations in U. S, I know they do it on purpose .
The Block Buster Express Kiosks at Safeway store 555 E Calaveras, Milpitas will charge you twice for every movie you rent, no matter how soon you return. So many people have been ripped off by Block Buster Express at the above location. I suggest people should go to Red-Box until Block Buster fix their machines .
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I tried to redeem an e-reward which costs $25 for two previously reviewed DVDs. The Blockbuster store would not honor them. Randy Hauck staff leader said sorry these expired a couple days ago. I tearfully explained my father-n-law passed away, and we had to rent a house so we could be close to my husband's mother and take care of things..and that we had just gotten back. My library books were overdue, etc.
He never said sorry for your loss...
"Yeah, well, here, I can't accept this".
I asked to see the manager..he said he was it.
But graciously offered the corporate phone number.
I called corporate Blockbuster 1-866-692-2789, Spoke to Robbie. I could barely tell my story the loss, etc. The Corporate ALLEGED customer service Robbie, tried to tell me I was not really out twenty five dollars since it was a reward.
Yeah well THOMAS M. CASEY, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, YOU will really be out any future income streams from my NOT using BlockBuster.
I'm taking my business elsewhere. You should too.
WTF? What are they thinking. For twenty five dollars after a family tragedy. Robbie gave me the mumbo jumbo corporate speak about they did not actually issue the coupon codes so they can't reissue. There is no special code or account they can do? How compassionate. THEY OFFERED NOTHING. NOT MY PROBLEM.
You want a decent company..try RED BOX. It is a dollar a day. You can reserve your movie in advance.
FOR Twenty five dollars, I can assure you I will not use Blockbuster and I will be sure to repeat how horrible they are to every one within earshot.
Hi, how you been? Fine well except my father n law died. My father n law was in a skilled nursing facility and his wife had to call 911 because they were not taking care of him... he was taken to the hospital where they discovered he only ad 6 pints of blood. No one cares any more. No one is responsible.
The employer asked the widow for $600 back that her husband had donated to charity in this last check. Can you believe that.
Blockbuster video would not honor my reward because I was a couple days late getting to the video store. At a time like this the family could have used a few laughs.
When times are bad, you find out who is decent and who is not. BLOCKBUSTER is not kind. They do not care. they Hide behind codes, etc. and do not stop to think about the person in front of them. I HAD a legitimate reward I earned. To Robbie it wasn't real money I was out. What a response.
MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA -- I rented a PS:3 game 9 months ago from my local blockbuster store. I kept the game late and was charged for the value of the game. I returned the game a few days later and was expecting to be credited back the game value less a restocking fee. After a few weeks, I noticed the credit never appeared on my bank statements. I contacted my local Blockbuster store and they said they show the credit going through. I contacted my bank and they show no such credit into any of my accounts. I contacted the Blockbuster corporate office on 3 separate occasions, getting different answers and directions each time. They were completely unaware of what to do next and were no help. Finally, I was told to contact my bank and get in touch with the dispute department. After opening a claim, Blockbuster made it terribly difficult to obtain any records I might need to proceed with the dispute. At this point, my bank cannot proceed with the claim because Blockbuster will not provide detailed proof of my exact bank account that was credited. Blockbuster owes me over $50 and they will not help resolve this matter. Once I get the money they owe me, I plan to cancel my account and tell anyone who cares to listen that this company isn't worth their time.
LANGHORNE, PENNSYLVANIA -- To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I have tried on several occasions to purchase different items at Blockbuster, never leaving the store satisfied. Last Friday we went to purchase a new Panasonic flat-screen TV which was advertised at a selling price of $999.00. At the time we were told there were four in the warehouse and forty-six in another part of the country. We had questions as to the hook-up, what other things were necessary to install it and the consult. "Take your time said the young man - you can come back at the beginning of the week as the sale is on until January 25. We returned on the following Monday only to be told that there were no more and that there should be a truck arriving with four more to be purchased...should arrive by Wednesday. We were advised to call minutes after the 10:00 A.M. opening to see if they had arrived. My husband did just that and was told they no longer were available. Why after dealing with three salespersons did they each give us a different story? All but one seemed to know the ins and outs of the product - their interest in making us understand wasn't - they didn't care if we came or went.
Now we are left to start a search again and probably pay $300 more for the item. I would think a company such as Blockbuster would have knowledgeable personnel, stand behind what is told to the customer and be joyous in the sale. By the way, one salesperson told us we could buy the item without its being in the warehouse and the other refused to sell it to us as it was "yet" in the warehouse - glad we didn't make the purchase as its now unavailable. The happiness of all of this is we've found it at another store - it's available and the person who sold it to us knew the product and was glad to help.
Guess we won't be going to Blockbuster any more as it proved to be a confidence-buster to us where purchases of this size are to be made. Best they stick to CD sales.
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- The Blockbuster store I am referring to here is located at: 13011 SW 112th Street, Miami, Florida 33186. 305-388-5562. It is store No. 12404.
I have been a Gold Member from blockbuster and have never had a problem with their service until tonight. I went with my 10 year old son and wife to rent some movies. There were two employees on the night shift at this location, one by with the tag name of "Kay" and another by the name of "Andi".
I took one movie from the shelf in the wall and Andi said to me: "You can't rent that movie", so I politely replied: "Why not? It's on the shelf" and she said to me with an attitude: "Because its not out until tomorrow, can't you read the sign?" (she was referring to a small hand written paper sign with tomorrow's date on it). At this point, the other one "Kay" jumped in saying sarcastically to "Andi", "Looks like we are going to have to make bigger signs for some people".
Astonished, I looked back at "Kay" and said to her: "Please don't give me an attitude, I'm a customer." And she said, "We're not giving you attitude you're the blind one that can't read the sign!". And she turned to Andi and said: "Some people are so dumb, I just can't wait to go home" (it was 10:40pm).
This really offended me and I replied, "Wow, you guys really need to learn about customer service." and I continued browsing what was on the shelves. At this point I felt like walking out of the store and changing to Netflix or something. But then I reasoned that this was not the Brand's fault but rather an employee training/ selection issue.
When it was time to pay, there was no one on the counter. They had me wait about five minutes intentionally and then Andi showed up to process my order with an evil grin. I said to her, "You guys are making a mistake treating me like this. I'm a Blockbuster Gold Member and I've always been a good customer spending lots of money in this store." She replied: "Oooooh a Gold Member, WOW!" I said, "Yes a Gold Member and not only that, I will be complaining with your store manager about your sarcasm" and she said: "Well Mr. Gold Member you have $7 dollars in late fees, and this is how we make our money so you have to pay up before I can rent you any of those movies". I said, "yes, I know and of course I'll pay it, but at any rate this is not how you make your money, but clearly how the company makes it."
Then Andi went on to type in the computer system that I'm a "complete a**hole" for other employees to see when in reality I was the victim of their lack of customer service skills. I have never been called an "a**hole" in my lifetime. And this front line employee goes on to type it in my Blockbuster Receipt as well!
And yes I have the copy of this receipt, with the word "a**hole" typed in and with the blockbuster branding on it! Talk about proof of a customer being mistreated with verbal abuse.
I feel aggrieved with the lack of customer service from this store. I was treated with verbal abuse and sarcasm from two employees in front of my wife and 10 year old son, and have the proof. Three witnesses and a typed blockbuster receipt with the words "complete a**hole" on it.
I'm sure these two employees were probably having a bad day and decided to vent it with me, but why should I as the customer have to put up with this?
If you went to any store and someone put on your receipt "complete a**hole", what would you do?
PS. The CSR No. on my receipt from Andi is 08874. I don't have the other CSR number but she had a tag with the name of "Kay".
