Reviews: Brett Eldredge, Smash Mouth, Mat Kearney and more
Brett Eldredge
Brett Eldredge might have won the Country Music Association's Best New Artist award last year, but the Paris, Ill., native is an old soul. In fact, it's his rich, soul-filled voice that differentiates him from his fellow modern country brethren. Sunday night at the Uline Warehouse, Eldredge first appeared atop a flashing light-adorned platform above his five-piece band and a big, boisterous crowd. Pointing at fans and thumping his chest, he opened with the unreleased "Fire," a bright boogie-woogie rocker. "Let me hear you!" the singer exclaimed to a symphony of screams from the bleachers. »Read Full Article
Neil Young and Grace Potter at Marcus Amphitheater
With Neil Young, you never know what you're going to get. And that was especially true at the Marcus Amphitheater for Summerfest's closing night Sunday, for the first show of Young's first-ever tour backed by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real. (Nelson, as in Willie Nelson's son.)
But it's fair to say some in the crowd may have been bracing for a lecture. Young's new album, "The Monsanto Years," recorded with Real, is filled with impassioned protests against Monsanto and other corporations — but the finger-wagging lyrics are unimaginative, and the album, ultimately, is uninspiring. Young's so caught up in the message this time out he neglected to make very good music. »Read Full Article

I think also that children aren't as blind as some people think they are to certain facts and details and they understand a lot more than some adults give them credit for, children aren't as innocent as they were fifty to hundred years ago, sadly.
My favourite character in the Tiffany Aching series happens to be - yep - you guessed it - Granny Weatherwax, and it's good to see a young witch that will ultimately become the next Weatherwax.
Tiffany is a cool girl and I can't wait for the fourth one - question, do you think she'll end up with the Baron's son?

The Invisible Children's "Kony 2012" campaign secured the legitimacy of social media as a tool for global social engagement. On Wed, March 7 their film went viral. In a March 12 article on Mashable.com, by Todd Wasserman, it was reported that the Kony 2012 film had more than 100 million views in six days, making it "the most viral video in history."
If you did not catch on, Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a rebel group that operates in Congo, The Central Africa Republic and South Sudan. The LRA is known for its inhumane war crimes against women and children.
On March 7, around noon, a friend living in New York City posted the YouTube video on her Facebook wall. Throughout the day I watched many other friends posting the video on Facebook from around the country. #StopKony was also trending on Twitter that day. Based on the Facebook posts and tweets, it seemed as though people were watching the video ,and as if the public perception had changed quickly with the help of social media. The Kony 2012 campaign had an immediate impact producing a global response.
An idealistic hope exists that the Internet can remain useful for ethical social activism. But, what should we make of it all? Is this just another media spectacle, commodified activism or an example of a contemporary participatory democracy? Time will tell if this social media campaign will bring tangible international justice. The Internet has become an alternative public sphere and hopefully activists can use it as a tool to produce a freer and happier world.
The new media environment we live in is a participatory media environment.
In the Kony 2012 case, Internet users distributed content for political ends. The Invisible Children non-governmental organization (NGO) circulated information, helped organize demonstrations, promoted anti-Kony activities and raised money for their cause.
Criticism towards the film reveals that while it let viewers understand what is happening in Uganda, the film targets leaders from the United States to take action, it does not prompt the Ugandan government. They may have over simplified and the issues and dramatized the facts surrounding the issue. They may also have questionable fund management as an NGO, but their mission, to some, appears ethically good; they want to raise awareness about Uganda and the current war crimes and abuse that occurs there.
Kony 2012, despite and including its recent controversy, is undoubtedly a significant piece of culture. It was produced, distributed and consumed. Media consumers ought to understand its significance, as this is an example of technopolitics. That is, the use of new technologies to advance political goals.

On a medical mission
Deep in the jungle of Panama, University of North Carolina Wilmington alumnus Martyn Knowles '03 prepared to perform emergency surgery inside a thatched hut. In front of him, a 10-year-old Ngöbe child, who had severely cut his foot with a machete, lay on the floor.
"You have to do the best you can with what you have," said Knowles. His volunteer group may have been limited on supplies, but they exhibited a tremendous amount of compassion, helping hundreds of villagers receive free health care each day.
During his time at UNCW, Martyn Knowles majored in biology and received the prestigious Emmett and Gladys Corbett Merit Scholarship for his academic achievement. The founder of the scholarship, Dr. J. Richard Corbett, commented, "It is tremendously gratifying to hear that Martyn is accomplishing so much. He was always a brilliant student, and more importantly, he is an outstanding young man." Additionally, Knowles was a resident assistant at Galloway Hall and an avid rugby player. After graduating in 2003 with honors in biology as well as university honors, he went on to attend Wake Forest Medical School and graduated in 2007. He is now happily married and works at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Although sailing to some of the most remote places in the world is not your typical image of volunteer work, when Knowles heard about the opportunity to travel around the Caribbean for a week and help people in desperate need of health care, he knew it was an offer he could not refuse. From May 7-16, Knowles sailed to Bocas Del Toro, Panama, with The Floating Doctors, a medical group that travels by ship to administer free health care and medical supplies to people in remote coastal regions.
The group's ship, a 76-foot sailboat named The Southern Wind, carries medical supplies and volunteers ready to distribute them. While Ben LaBrot, The Floating Doctor's founder, encourages anyone willing to lend a helping hand to volunteer, Knowles' training and education as a general surgeon came in handy, and he takes great pride in being the first surgeon to have sailed with the group. Those with an interest in health care frequently volunteer.
"The group accepts anyone willing to make a difference to volunteer," said Knowles, but he acknowledged that volunteering with The Floating Doctors is a challenging experience.
"The weather is blistering hot, the muddy ground makes it nearly impossible to walk and stay dry, huge spiders hang above the hammocks at night, venomous snakes slither by, and each day hundreds of patients wait to be treated, but all in all it is the experience of a lifetime," said Knowles.
That said, he clarified just how remote some of the areas were. "We took a one-hour water taxi, then a four-hour taxi by car, and then a three-hour hike on foot." But despite the long trips, he insisted that the areas he visited were some of the most beautiful places he had ever seen.
"The surf is also excellent," he added with a chuckle.
Many of the patients had never seen a doctor before. Other villagers hiked for hours to be treated when word spread that The Floating Doctors were in the area. "The locals really appreciate the care," said Knowles. But The Floating Doctors' care is not just limited to people. According to Knowles, the group helped revive a sick monkey during his stay. Such acts of compassion go a long way with the locals, who base their wealth on possessions, pets and livestock.
So how are The Floating Doctors different from other volunteer groups? Knowles explained that in addition to administering care to one patient at a time, they train the villagers how to take care of themselves. During his time in Panama, he trained police and fire departments how to perform CPR and to administer burn care. After treating patients during clinics, the group returns three months later to check on the patients to ensure that everything is going smoothly.
Knowles added, "Other medical missions are frustrating because they only treat patients one time. We provide long-term care and a sustainable resource infrastructure. This is medicine the way medicine is supposed to be done."
Knowles will finish his soon finish his training to become a general surgeon in Dallas, Texas, but plans to continue in a vascular surgery fellowship.
He encourages UNCW students to research The Floating Doctors and volunteer. "It's rewarding to know you are helping people that really need the help. Some of the villagers had never seen a doctor before. This is what it's all about," he said.

ASBURY, NEW JERSEY -- I shipped a vintage computer and monitor from NJ to Conn. which is not very far. The main box was brand new. The computer was wrapped in bubble wrap. The monitor was wrapped in bubble wrap, placed in a separate box and placed in the larger box with packing around it. The box looks like it fell off the truck going 60 mph. the monitor was completely destroyed. They had to put tape around the whole box to keep it together. UPS said I did not pack it well enough. Check out the photos. Think twice about using UPS.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- UPS informed me that my package would be delayed after it arrived in Jacksonville, FL due to "adverse weather". But Jacksonville wasn't having any bad weather! UPS routed my package back to Greensboro, NC, from whence it had come (and which *was* experiencing bad weather), and then to West Columbia, SC (which was also experiencing bad weather), before sending it back to Jacksonville again. Why not just let it sit in Jacksonville? The answer clearly is that UPS are idiots!! There is no other rational explanation. UPS are idiots!!!
I would upload a picture, but this web site doesn't allow it. So here is the text of UPS's announcement to me, which demonstrates that they are idiots (the most recent entries are near the top):

I have a nice formatted picture of this, but this website won't allow me to post it. So this website sucks also.
Hello. I just wanted to inform everyone what a poor shipping company that UPS is. I recently purchased a motorized bike from EBAY from a very nice seller that packaged the bicycle in a bicycle shipping box and sent it to me by UPS. That cost me $244 dollars since it was shipping from Canada to California. After waiting for 4 days they sent me a message that it had been misdirected to the wrong location... after a total of 13 days the bike was delivered in a box that looked like it had been dragged through a war zone. I had the delivery person wait while I opened what remained of the box to take a look at the bike.
Unfortunately I did not completely un-box the bicycle at that time and it looked in passable shape from what the driver and I could see. Later that evening when I went to assemble the bike I discovered that the damage was all on the bottom half of the bicycle which I could not see from my previous vantage point. I immediately contacted UPS and they told me that since I had destroyed the packaging opening the box they would make an appointment to view it on sight. No call was forthcoming. I called back and was informed that the claim was refused because the packaging was destroyed by me.
I don't care how the bike was packaged... the amount of damage done was intense. The back forks where the wheel is mounted was bent into two 90 degree "L" brackets. The crank sprocket was bent and the front springer front end forks were bent as well.
I told them that I could probably be made whole with $150 but was put through the contact the seller game. I had been in constant contact with the seller and told him to contact his local UPS and they directed him back to me... these guys are slick as slime. I am currently filing through EBAY resolution center to have them pressure UPS. In the Whole I would not send an anvil through UPS because I am sure they could damage it!
SARASOTA, FLORIDA -- I have been through this song and dance with UPS claims before, so I knew from the beginning what I was in for. Previously, I shipped items when I was an employee of a big company, and they would not spend the time and energy to appeal this claims process that UPS and Crawford Insurance want's you to go through. However, I am now self employed, and I am going to go the distance on this just on principal alone. Enough is enough.
We need national exposure on this scam, and ultimately a class action lawsuit as this is a clear cut case of defrauding the customer. This is because UPS and Crawford Insurance conspire to either deny every claim, or undervalue every claim. It is a conspiracy to defraud and needs to be prosecuted as such, both at the criminal level, and civil process.
I prepared 2 shipping labels where I paid for the "insurance" at an amount that was clearly under what it would take to replace the items if lost or damaged. And, I was fully willing to accept that amount when UPS lost my package. However, Crawford Insurance, as usual undervalued my claim, and did not "make me whole" as required under the law. Then they jump you through hoops when you try to appeal the decision in hopes you will just go away, and most people do. That's why they get away with it.
I finally get a return call from a "supervisor" with Crawford & Co. by the name of ** with a caller ID of **. She was snotty sounding from the start and talked down to me like I was stupid. (I'm not by the way). She tried explaining that this was NOT "insurance" that I purchased, but rather "declared value". (Semantics). This person sounded like she is like 12 years old.
I declared the value of that package at only $195 (trying to be fair and reasonable) even though the items could never be replaced for $195. Crawford went ahead and processed a payment for like $101 total! I was given the amount over the phone, and have not received the check yet. My total claim amount was only $231.59 which I WAS fully willing to accept, but now, that offer is off the table. I reside and do business in Florida, which to the best of my knowledge (from past experience) is a "make whole" state which means they are required to pay me at least the declared value OR they must actually replace what I lost.
I am now going for nothing less than full replacement of my lost items, as that cannot be done for less than $1000. These idiots think that just because I paid a certain amount for something, that is all they are required to pay. The part these mental midgets cannot comprehend is that the lost items cannot be replaced for what I paid for them. BUYER BEWARE!! When you purchase "insurance" from UPS you need to understand that they have no intention of paying you the declared value that you are paying for.
I must now proceed against the seller on Ebay on this although he did nothing wrong, just so there is another party involved against UPS... Although I purchased the UPS labels on my UPS account and sent them to the seller (that makes me the shipper, legally).
These lowlife already tried using that angle..."well you are not the shipper"... WRONG! Crawford & Co. / Crawford Insurance/UPS will do whatever they can to get out of paying a legitimate claim. These arrogant fools are willing to go to court and possibly have a legal precedent set over a measly $130.00!! How stupid is that! We really do need a class action lawsuit on this of every single person who has ever been shorted on a claim with UPS or any claim that Crawford ever processed and shorted. Any lawyers out there want to tackle this? If not, I have enough experience to prepare and file my own complaint and it will be filed in FEDERAL COURT.
It will be filed against UPS as they are the ones who actually lost my items, and then they can deal with Crawford so they can see how they like it!
UPS Tracking# 1ZT449V24392180833
Ebay Item# 190650237437
I printed the labels on 3/19/2012. The Ebay seller dropped them at a UPS Store on 3/26/2012 in Edison NJ. My package never made it past that location as per the tracer. 3/31/2012 UPS declared the package lost and this nightmare claim process began.

Crawford & Co. / Crawford Insurance "Claims:
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Here's the short version of my bad experience with UPS. UPS missed my first delivery. I called to arranged same day pick up. They called the driver and said the driver will deliver a second attempt same day. I waited, waited, and waited. The driver never showed up. My online status at the last minute showed I agree to a pick up which I never did. The time stamp showed I agree to this the same time when the will-call was closed. Moral of the story, there is no such thing as "same day second delivery". They will lie to you to waste time until its too late.
My Ups driver always delivers our packages to the wrong house. This has happened multiple times. Sometimes I'm lucky and the neighbor will bring me my package or I have to go door to door which is very inconvenient when you have like 30+ houses on a street or I'm Sheer outta luck. Again today a package says delivered "front door step" but nothing is there.
You call the 800 ups # (a mission to speak to a human) and are told they can't contact the driver or the center where all these drivers go but I would have to have the company where I bought the item contact UPS and they would place a trAcer on the package. Yeah thanks for wasting my time... I'll talk to my UPS driver in person tomorrow and get it resolved. So sick of customer service!!!
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS -- I have made many orders & my regular driver (UPS) always comes to my front porch @ MY HOUSE AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO! However, some punk driver left it allegedly down by my gate which is way down from my house. My road was not muddy, UPS has been told several times NOT to do this. However they have a couple of times & I received my pkg & had to go down to the gate, if its after the postman runs, if I do not know it was delivered, it would set out there all night. Wonder what happened. I sometimes have a lot to track!
I made this purchase on Dec. 31st, The postman had already brought my mail, so I decided that afternoon to track this pkg. Jan 13th (SHOEBUY.COM) It said delivered, I looked on the porch, because that's where they usually are supposed to leave it! If they have one grain of sense & are NOT LAZY! They have been told 2 or 3 times to NEVER leave at the gate. Unprofessional.
So, I called UPS & guess what, they said they left it @ the gate. So, I go to the gate & usually if they screw up the pkg. is @ least there. Not this time. Now, I do not know if this person left it @ another place, or it was stolen or he took it! For every person that is too LAZY to do their JOB, there are 14 more out there that will. Now today is the Jan 21st. I have no pkg. no refund & still having it out with them. All because SOME IDIOT did NOT want to do their job!
So, I am calling them (UPS) everyday, & the place (SHOEBUY. COM) of purchase. If I do not get a refund by Friday, I make a complaint w/ the B.B.B. transportation, consumer affairs & every place on this internet! Its more than the money, its the principle of it. DO YOUR DAMN JOBS. Now, I have called back to speak with a supervisor & it went straight to comments - 1 being worst & 5 being good - guess what # I left on ALL of them & I will keep calling!
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -- I ordered a $200 present from www.mrporter.com. They shipped it out via UPS - signature required. That's when the trouble started. 1st attempt of delivery: the UPS driver does not use the intercom and does not ring the bell - he leaves a slip. I contact the customer service, give them my phone number and arrange a time for pick-up. (not really annoyed yet as misunderstandings happen).
2nd attempt of delivery: the UPS driver does not use the intercom, does not ring the bell and does not call me - he just leaves a second slip. I contact customer support and ask them why the driver didn't at least give me a call. The lady responds that drivers are not given a work phone and that they are not required to use their personal phone.
At this point I get annoyed and ask them if I can pick up the package at my nearest UPS store. This was not an option and they told me to go to Watertown which is about an hour away from me. I work every day and I don't own a car. It is standard practice for USPS and FedEx to leave packages that are not picked up at the closest location so it is convenient for the customer to pick it up when they can.
3rd attempt: I planned my entire day around the pick up - They called me in the morning and I specifically asked what time they were to come by my apartment and she repeated twice 6-7 pm. I finish work at 5 so this gave me enough time to rush home to be there for this package. But of course UPS decides to come at 5:20 pm instead - **.
In future I will go out of my way to avoid using UPS. I have wasted 3 days on them and the worst customer support where they just act like puppets and don't work to resolve any problems. Useless and utterly disappointed by their incompetence - everything from the drivers to customer service.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- My biggest mistake EVER was ordering my entire New Year's Eve outfit 2 days before New Year's Eve and expecting that overnight delivery via UPS would actually work out for me. *sighs* UPS is the WORSE DELIVERY SERVICE. I had 5 packages that were to be delivered via UPS. I placed my orders on Wednesday, December 29, 2010 with Victoria's Secret and Amazon.com. I chose one day shipping so my packages would arrive the next day on Thursday, December 30th. Everything seem to be going well. When I checked all my UPS tracking numbers the morning of Thursday, December 30th all packages were out for delivery.
Well except one. 1 package out of the 5 total there was an exception given to it.."DAMAGE REPORTED / DAMAGE CLAIM UNDER INVESTIGATION. MERCHANDISE IS MISSING. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH ADDITIONAL DETAILS. / ALL MERCHANDISE MISSING, EMPTY CARTON WAS DISCARDED. UPS WILL NOTIFY THE SENDER WITH DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE" Goodness gracious!!! So already 1 of my UPS packages would not be delivered to me. Thank goodness that was just a bracelet and not a major factor to me. And Amazon immediately issued me a full refund for both the item price and shipping charge. Such a shame that Amazon had to clean up UPS's mess.
So OK.. on to the remaining 4 packages. I kept checking all day regarding status. They all kept the status out for delivery. I live in Brooklyn, NY where the major blizzard hit. And granted, there is difficulty navigating the streets due to lack of snow removal, etc.. I will admit that. However, I don't know how Dominos pizza delivery guys driving little Toyota Corollas, Cablevison technicians, FED EX delivery guys, ordinary people driving, navigates the streets just fine but UPS with their huge, big, brown trucks can't. They are the only ones that seem to have issues with delivering anything. Yeah, OK.
So anyway.. after calling UPS about 5 times throughout the day regarding my delivery and them assuring me it will definitely be delivered today, I just felt something wasn't right. But UPS kept telling me, driver is still out with the package, it's peak season, drivers can deliver until very late (even said as late as 10:30 PM). ROTFL!! What a JOKE! But I indulged all the ** UPS was feeding me even though I knew better. I have dealt with UPS's horrible delivery service for more than 10 years. I KNOW better. I am used to their ridiculousness.
Finally around 8:30 PM EST I just knew that UPS was not coming. After being lied to and given the run around and me questioning UPS, etc.. I was finally told that there was an EXCEPTION for my 4 packages. "EMERGENCY CONDITIONS BEYOND UPS' CONTROL".. Oh how did I already know UPS was going to use the weather and snow as an excuse not to deliver?
So I was so livid at this point because I paid for next day delivery and UPS just would not give me a straight answer about delivery! They knew they was not able to deliver to me today for whatever ** reason they gave! So then I spoke to a ** at UPS who told me my packages would be out for delivery tomorrow. I just don't trust UPS to even deliver tomorrow. If there are "supposed" emergency conditions today beyond UPS's control, how is that going to change by tomorrow? I asked the UPS representative can I just pick up my own packages. Its quite funny that UPS can't deliver to me, but I can get to them to pick up my packages.
There are no emergency conditions beyond my control stopping me. *eyeroll* This representative ** is going to tell me that yes I can pick up my packages and gave me the address of 10401 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11236. That is my local UPS horrible facility. I asked him what time I can pick up my packages. He
tells me that first thing in the morning someone from UPS will call me to confirm a time. But then he tells me that the local facility is closed tomorrow (Friday, Dec 31 - New Year's Eve). I asked him how the heck will I be able to pick up my packages if the local facility is closed then?
He said no worries I will still be able to and someone will contact me. That made NO SENSE to me. I just said whatever. I didn't believe ANYTHING he told me. ** sounded like he was just saying anything to try to pretend to give good customer service.
After I hung up with the UPS representative **, unsatisfied with his ** service I called both shippers, Victoria's Secret and Amazon.com. Victoria's Secret provided me a full refund for this horrible UPS non-delivery. Again, Victoria's Secret cleaning up UPS's mess. And then I called Amazon.com and told them what a horrible UPS experience I was having with their packages being delivered. Amazon did a 3-way conference call with me and UPS. I spoke to yet another UPS representative (a woman this time) who said the conditions beyond UPS's control could be weather related. It could be that they are back logged with deliveries due to the weather.
But ummmm, can someone please tell me how that is my problem when I paid for next day delivery? If UPS is back logged why are they even accepting more next day packages to deliver?! But also, this representative told me she is going to change the packages status back to just me waiting on delivery tomorrow. She said the facility is indeed closed tomorrow (Friday, Dec 31 - New Year's Eve) and the next available pick up would be for MOnday, January 3. So why did ** give me different WRONG information? So she changed it back to me taking the chance for delivery tomorrow.
Being that my packages are all Next Day Air Savers, those packages are the ones being delivered on December 31. But I am 99% sure my packages won't be delivered. And if they aren't, whenever UPS does decide to deliver I will just refuse the order and send the packages back to Victoria's Secrets and Amazon being that they were not delivered when I needed them and therefore are of no used to me anymore.
I am so sick of UPS's horrible service and will avoid them as a delivery service at all costs. I will try and stick to Fed Ex, DHL, even USPS. And again.. the local UPS facility at 10401 Foster Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11236 is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! I won't even attempt to speak to a supervisor at that location in the morning as I was advised. I am sure the supervisor won't give a damn either about my packages.
CONCORD, CALIFORNIA -- On Sept. 9 2001 I shipped an antique diving helmet (1 of more than 30 I have shipped over the last 5 years). To a Russ in Texas. The box was hand delivered to the UPS office in Concord CA. The UPS agent inspected it and I requested it be insured for $5000.00. The helmet was delivered on Fri. afternoon Oct.5 in a rain storm and left on the porch at his office. When he left the office he took the box home and opened it in his garage. The box was approx. 3 ft. by ft. square and contained a lot of soggy wet packing material. He took the box and packing material and put it in the trash and then called me and told me the helmet was badly damaged.
I said there should be no problem it is insured. UPS office was not open on Sat. and he attempted to contact someone on Mon. Oct. 8. He was told that someone would get back to him. He tried again on Wed. and on Fri. to get someone to at least look at the helmet and each time he was told someone would get back to him.
On Mon. Oct. 15 he finally was able to talk with someone about the damage and he was told then that they would not cover it because he did not save the original packing material. He made several attempts to at least have someone look at the helmet because he told UPS that he would take them to court. He got no response except they said he could not do anything because he was not the one that paid for the insurance. ** hand delivered this helmet to DESCO in Oregon who are the only ones in the country that repairs this type of helmet.
The repair estimate was $1800.00 plus his airfare of $850,00. Since he could not initiate a court action on his end I contacted UPS on Oct. 25 and waited all day for someone to return my call. This went on for 3 days. Finally on Oct.29, I was able to get through to someone from UPS and they told me that it was not covered because ** did not save the original packing material and box and that it had been turned over to their insurance carrier.
I got the same run around from their insurance carrier. It took more than a week for them to return my calls and to tell me they would not cover claim and that a letter was being sent to that effect. I told them that I intend to take this matter to court and their reply was "we been there before". I had to make numerous calls to their office because they did not send the letter denying the claim. On Nov. 26, I received a letter that was post dated to Nov. 12.
I have shipped more than 30 helmets with UPS over the last 5 years and insured every one of them. Not one time was I ever informed of the provisions of their policy or that in the event of a claim the original packing material must be retained.
This package was soaking wet when delivered and it took more than a week for someone to get back to ** and tell him he was supposed to keep the box and contents. I would not keep a wet smelly cardboard box and all that packing material either. Because I purchased the insurance I am the one that has to go to court to try to collect damages. How am I supposed to save the packing material and box when I am the shipper? I paid for insurance to make sure it arrived in the same condition it left in. It is completely out of my control was it was delivered to UPS.
There is nothing in the UPS office, on the shipping invoice or on the box that says anything about their policy. Until recently there was nothing on their website that stated this either and the only thing I have seen that states this is a General Tariff that I had to download and it has an effective date of Jan. 7, 2002. This incident occurred in 2001 but I am still going to court with them. UPS is self insured so it does no good to complain to the insurance commissioner although I did talk with him and he said that anyone who brokers or sells insurance is obligated by law to inform the insured of the policy provisions.
All the helmets and other equipment I have shipped and not once was I ever told of these provisions. Apparently this law does not apply to UPS because they are self insured. I believe they are making a great deal of money by writing insurance and then not paying on claims.
From what I have seen on the Internet there is a tremendous number of people that have been defrauded this way. Even small claims court is an expensive process and most people do not want to go to court. On July 20, 2002 I appeared in small claims court and was awarded a judgment of $2928.00 because UPS failed to appear.
The trial was set for 1:30 and they called the court at 1:45 and said they were going to be late because they were coming From Richmnd. A 30 minute drive at the most. At 3:00 they still had not showed up so the Judge heard my case. I thought that would be the end of it. A week later I went out of town to work for 3 weeks. During this time UPS filed a motion to vacate the judges decision.
This means we start the whole thing over again. I just obtained a copy of the transcript from the hearing to vacate his decision. I was supposed to be notified by mail and by phone about this hearing so I could also appear. I did not hear about it until after it had been granted. ** the UPS representative from UPS flat out lied to the judge to get him to vacate the judgment.
The transcript states that when ** called the court that the clerk told him if he couldn't make it that he could file a motion to vacate. The bailiff told the judge that they would be there that is on record. Unfortunately ** appeared before another Judge. ** went on to say that that is what he decided to do because he didn't think he could make it on time. I sat for 2 hours waiting. He then goes on to state that he came to the court house the next day and filled the motion to vacate. That is another lie. The motion to vacate was not filed until 7/5/02. The Judge ask ** if he sent proof of service or notice to me saying he was filing this motion.
His reply was no because the clerk was going to mail a copy and that I should call him and so I did call twice but was unable to get a hold of him so I left 2 messages. This is another lie. I work out of town and check my answering service every day. There was never a message from him. If I had known about the motion to vacate I sure would have been there or had someone to represent me. The motion to vacate was granted on 8/1/02. I returned from out of town on 8/4/02.
** is an adjuster for UPS insurance and he has been to court many times so he knows how to play the game and how to delay everything. I believe his underhanded dishonest tactics of delaying this and refusing to pay is a very poor reflection on UPS and their customers. They have gotten away with ripping off a lot of people for a great deal of money and nothing is being done about it. UPS should be forced to inform the public of their polices regarding insurance and to post in their offices a notice stating same. They should also be forced to stamp a package when it has been insured.
I shipped that package to Texas and nothing was written on it regarding insurance. Even when the UPS drivers deliver a package that is obviously damaged they don't inform the recipient of their insurance polices. Most people can't afford to take the time off work to go to court to fight for a claim especially when it is only for a few hundred dollars or a couple of thousand. I insured the package for $5000.00. When it was delivered it had $1800.00 damage to it. ** had to hand deliver to DESCO for a repair estimate.
Originally all I ask for was that the helmet be repaired. When they refused and we went to court I ask for the cost of repairs plus ** plane fare. I was awarded $2928.00 before it was vacated. I was satisfied with that. So far I have had to take 4 days off work, (small claims will not let you sue for lost time) attended small claims seminars and court and probably spent 40 hours writing letters and making phone calls. I can see why people give up on a UPS claim.
Cost so far: Balance due on helmet - 2500.00; Plane fare to DESCO - 850.00; Time off work - 1746.00; Filing and paper work? Total: $5096 plus. This mess has already exceeded the max. amount you can go for in small claims and I still have not got anything. We are scheduled for court again on Sept. 9, 2002.

Gadget watch: Camping, cycling, cars and cameras
Take a smartphone stand that clamps onto your iPhone like a pair of jaws. Now add a tripod hole and a wrist strap. Now you've got the Shoulderpod, a device that has nothing to do with your shoulders. It can be used as a stand or as a grip, giving one-handed access to any app by placing your thumb over the on-screen shutter. It also works with a range of optional accessories. $35
BlastMatch Firestarter
This is a firestarter, a camping firestarter. It's the self-igniting, cooking instigator. A tungsten-carbide striker, a campfire detonator. Rotating wear-avoiding, one-handed operating, works when saturated, makes matches antiquated. $19
Duo valve speaker
Using a valve amp and high-end speaker to amplify your iPhone's Bluetooth stream might be a little like shaving canned mushrooms onto your homemade "truffle" ravioli, but who cares when "just" $640 can bring you a beautiful wooden box with two glowing valves at its core? The Class A amp can also be hooked up with cables, connected to an external subwoofer and even has an on-board 24-bit DAC. $649
Just Mobile AluCable Flat
The name really says it all. This ribbonlike Lightning cable rolls up into a tidy reel and lays flat when charging. It also has tough, color-coded plugs, and costs the same as Apple's own white plastic cable. Available in gray, gold or … blue? $20
Kenu Airframe
The new white Airframe from Kenu turns the slats of your car's ventilation system into a smartphone holder. The expanding jaws clamp your iPhone (or Android phone) in place, and the little prongs on the other side jam between the louvres of any car vent and hold fast. It's the perfect way to add yet another dangerous distraction to your dashboard. $25
Lezyne iPhone wallet
This neat package gathers your in-ride essentials together into one jersey-pocket-friendly place, and as it comes from Lezyne you know it can be relied on. The seam-welded zip-up wallet has a plastic window so you can use your iPhone while it's inside, and slots for cash and cards (although no change pocket). Available in gray or black. Weighs 120 grams (4.2 ounces). $20
Lomo Instant Camera
At last, a Lomo that's as convenient as digital – the Lomo Instant has a built-in printer so it can pop out photos on the spot. The plastic-bodied camera can make multiple exposures on one frame, has a bulb setting for long exposures, a flash and interchangeable lenses. I can't tell you how much I want one of these. From $79
Meriwether tent
I love my two-man Hubba Hubba tent from MSR, but if I was in the market for a huge tent that could fit a) me and a bunch of other campers or b) me, in a real bed, as if I were camped in 1920 Egypt to investigate an Agatha Christie-style crime, I'd take the teepee-shaped Meriwether. At 16 feet wide and 9.5 feet high, who cares if it weighs in at 65 pounds (almost 30kg)? That's what servants are for.$1,250
Olloclip for iPad
It's here! The iPad-friendly Olloclip adds four great lenses to your iPad Air or Mini retina (they're both equally thin, you know). The new Olloclip slips onto the corner of your iPad to cover the lens with any of four accessory lenses, all on the same mount. You get a fisheye and a wide-angle lens, and if you unscrew them you have 10x and 15x macros. The epoch of looking dorky while you take iPad photos is finally over. $70
Film or digital? Campfire or BBQ? Car or bike? Cable or wireless?
No matter which way you swing, this week's gadgets have you covered. iPhoneographers can enjoy the Shoulderpod hand grip or slip the new iPad Olloclip onto their Mini or Air, and film nuts can get instant satisfaction with the new Lomo Instant Camera.
Camping? Take it easy in the giant Meriwether tent or go survivalist with the Blastmatch fire-starter. You can even choose how to arrive at the site, with accessories for your car or your bike. Happy traveling!
