BOSTON – Gary DiSarcina and Rich Sauveur thought they were positioned well out of harm's way. Perched in a far corner inside the champagne-soaked, music-blaring, jolly-good-time party scene that was the Red Sox' clubhouse following last Friday's division clincher, the two Pawtucket Red Sox coaches were more than content to be innocent bystanders.
But what soon followed was a moment that could very well summarize the impact that DiSarcina, Sauveur and the rest of the 2013 PawSox had on the newly minted American League East champs.
As the Red Sox players ran back out of the clubhouse toward the field in an effort to keep the frenetic festivities going with the fans who weren't ready to leave Fenway Park just yet, former PawSox skipper Torey Lovullo made his way over to where DiSarcina and Sauveur stood.
A grinning Lovullo shouted to the minor-league workers, "You guys are a part of this!" (Boston's bench coach was speaking over the bombastic sounds emanating from the clubhouse stereo system that continued to boom even though the celebration had relocated.)
"We've been fortunate to tap into a group that's not just 25 guys," echoed Red Sox manager John Farrell.
Another former Pawtucket bench boss and current member of Farrell's coaching staff needs no reminders about the notion that it takes a village to safely navigate through a major-league season.
"It's just not going to be 25 guys. There's going to be times during the year when guys have to go up and help out," said Arnie Beyeler, Boston's first-base coach and the man who passed off the PawSox managerial baton to DiSarcina. "If you don't help out, you don't win and get to where we're at right now. You've got to have that depth."
You can't tell the full story of the Red Sox's successful quest for their seventh division title in team history without referencing the organization's productive minor-league pipeline, or without crediting the job that the Triple-A staff did in readying the players for what awaited them upon reaching the parent club.
The Red Sox are postseason-bound for the first time in four seasons because they received worthwhile contributions from their farm system, both big and small. Over the course of 162 games, there are going to be times when the parent club needs help. These "reinforcements" might not always be asked to shoulder the same burden as established big-league stars, but rather to fit their talents and their personality into the surrounding team structure.
"All of the players that came up, they knew their roles," said Farrell.
Added Mike Hazen, Boston's assistant general manager and onetime farm director, "In small pieces, a lot of these guys contributed along the way. Some of them were integrated into the fabric of the team, which was good for us to see."
Two perfect examples of Hazen's "small pieces" statement are outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and knuckleball pitcher Steven Wright. It seemed fitting that Bradley, a player who began the season in Boston, then spent most of the year in Pawtucket, was patrolling center field again at Fenway last Friday.
"It just goes to show that a lot of guys might be on different paths, but at the end, we all want to be in the major leagues," Bradley expressed moments after tossing his goggles into the crowd standing behind the Red Sox' dugout. "To experience this moment with the guys who are pretty much on track with you, it's special. You have (Xander) Bogaerts, (Allen) Webster, (Brock) Holt, even (DiSarcina) was here. To be able to share this with all the guys you've been grinding with all year long and to be able to do it in two places, that's pretty neat."
Bradley was referencing the euphoric moment the PawSox experienced at McCoy Stadium after that ball club won their own Northern Division title on a Friday night in late August.
"We did it in Pawtucket and now we get to do it up here," said Wright. He left his own indelible imprint on this Red Sox season with 5.2 innings of shutout relief he tossed one July afternoon at Seattle's Safeco Field.
"Even if it wasn't a lot, we've been able to help out just a little bit," Wright said.
Homegrown Red Sox talent was everywhere you looked in the clubhouse as the team celebrated the historic night last Friday. Along with newly-minted big leaguers like Bogaerts and Bradley, there was Jacoby Ellsbury, Jon Lester, Dustin Pedroia and Clay Buchholz – all now established stars who themselves were just scratching the surface of their respective careers when Boston last won the division, in 2007.
Save for a few off-seasons when the front office turned to big-money free agent spending, Boston has sworn by a draft-and-development philosophy that has often paid big dividends. That proved to be the case this season as the Red Sox were buoyed by contributions from young pitchers and position players alike.
"I don't think you can compare because it's different guys in different time frames, but it's very analogous when you look at the youth of the ('07 club) and those guys integrating onto the major-league team," said Hazen. "That sustained us for three or four years after that and helped us win a World Series that year. Hopefully after three or four years this time around, we can say the same thing."
Eventually, the music was lowered in the Red Sox clubhouse, which in turn allowed DiSarcina and Sauveur to collect their thoughts and put into words what being on hand for the Red Sox' celebration meant to each of them.
"Richie and I were looking in the dugout and in the field and there were probably 12 guys that we had this year. To see them jumping around and acting like little kids, that makes that [9-19 record Pawtucket posted in July] worth it," said DiSarcina. "We approach it as one big family."
Said Sauveur, "The bigger thing is that this shows what kind of organization this is. For myself and Gary to be able to share in this, it's fantastic."

RA Dickey likes Sandy's plan, wants to stay – but for how much?
Matthew Cerrone , Lead Writer
In preliminary talks with the Mets, I've heard R.A. Dickey wanted at least three guaranteed years to start after 2013. Last week, I said the Mets are likely offering him a two-year deal < click to tweet this
The next day, the Daily News took it a step further and said the Mets believe they can sign Dickey to a two-year contract extension. I'm thinking $10 to 12 million a year, based on my best educated guess.
Dickey wants to return, that's clear.
He talked on air with WFAN's Mike Francesa yesterday and said he's been in talks with the Mets organization about a contract extension and he hopes the two sides reach a compromise soon.
"I've expressed that repeatedly to Sandy and to the powers that be," Dickey said. "There's a sense of loyalty I have to an organization that gave me a very unique opportunity … Sandy has convinced me that the Mets are going to do something going forward. … We are going to improve. … He has convinced me, and I think he's done a pretty good job of convincing David (Wright) that he has a plan for us to be a very competitive club going forward."
I totally believe him. And, I'll be honest, I'm starting to tip back to thinking the Mets might feel the same way. I had it at 50-50 just last week that he'd either re-up or get traded. I'll now go 51-49 that he's back. Why? I've heard some things the last few days that – in accordance with that Daily News report, and seeing how we all responded to him winning the Cy Young – makes me think both sides want to find a deal.
If they overpay a bit on the annual value, I wonder if Dickey would agree to make his third season an option? In other words, would he sign a two-year extension at $27 million, with a third-year vesting option? I think he might. It seems to undercut him, but he needs to be honest, as well, about how he can add to his income from opportunities available to him only in New York, and what he can do on-field in 2013 (that he hasn't already done) to guarantee more money from another team next winter.
That said, I think Alderson will exhaust the trade market, as he should. First, because he needs more players and trading Dickey could be his best way of doing this, but also because talking with other teams can help educate the Mets on Dickey's perceived value, which could later help them in contract negotiations. Alderson is an evidence-based, values-based guy, so perhaps he's finding Dickey's trade value to be less than he believes Dickey (and a new contract) can deliver on field the next few seasons. It's usually that simple.

Update: Charlie has just landed the coveted role of Christian Grey in the big screen adaptation of "50 Shades of Grey."
Charlie Hunnam is making the leap from Jax in "Sons of Anarchy" to the big screen in Guillermo del Toro's blockbuster "Pacific Rim," now in theaters.
In the film, Charlie plays Raleigh Becket, a washed-up pilot called back into service to battle the monstrous kaiju. But instead of a plane, Raleigh pilots a giant mechanized robot called a jaeger. Each pair of jaeger pilots connect to their robots through armored suits, but Charlie clearly didn't need any padding under his, as evidence by the shirtless shot below. Read find fun facts about the hunky hero!
1. Charlie loves his sweets
Despite his impressive six-pack, Charlie loves his sweets. Watch as he reveals his biggest weakness to toofab's Lawrence Yee on the "Pacific Rim" red carpet:
2. Charlie's a Brit
He may have all-American looks, but Charlie is from Newcastle upon Tyne, England, which you can probably tell from the interview above.
3. Charlie's gone gay ... for a role.
Charlie's big break came in 2000, when he was cast as a gay teen in "Queer as Folk." The series was adapted for the United States on Showtime. "I was a pretty fearless kid," Charlie said of the risque role. "I was just amazed that I'd been given this opportunity. I jumped in head first."
Warning: PG-13 Content
4. Charlie was a teen groom.
Charlie married Katharine Towne, the daughter of legendary screenwriter Robert Towne, after just four weeks of dating. He was 19. They divorced after three years but are still amicable. "We were really good friends and remain really good friends," the actor told The Independent. And I'm still close with all of her family. But we were just horrible partners." He's currently dating (sorry ladies).
5. Charlie's a writer, too.
Charlie became enthralled with the story of Vlad the Impaler and sold his script to Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment company. "I don't think I'll be Vlad," Hunnam said back in 2010. "I'm not a big-enough name to justify the size of budget required. We need a movie star."
Maybe he should change his mind after "Pacific Rim!"

About the Event
Session One: Human Rights on Trial (9:20-10:40 a.m.)
The global human rights movement has achieved tremendous success. It has reshaped international and domestic policy worldwide, confronted authoritarian regimes, supported dissidents and defended the rights of millions. It has grown from a mere handful of organizations to a powerful global network, winning passage of standards-setting conventions, securing breakthrough legal victories and capturing the imaginations of people everywhere. But it also has unfinished business. How will the movement confront the challenges of implementing rights? Effectively tackle the increasing role of non-state actors? Build a movement of inclusion and diversity? Embrace economic and social rights as a next frontier? In this curtain-raising session, we will interrogate these propositions and explore the future direction of this vital movement.

At the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton proclaimed that "human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights." Where are we today, and where are we headed? Are women's rights the defining cause of the 21st century? Has heightened global awareness of women's equality improved the lived realities of women and their families? Two leading voices for human dignity come together to explore how women everywhere can work across sectors and movements to solve the world's most intractable problems.

Session Three: Technology — The Next Frontier (2:05-3:10 p.m.)
How are human rights defended or denied in an online world? In this conversation, we tackle the role technology can play in advancing the human rights agenda. What do freedom of expression and the right to privacy mean in the digital environment? What is the role and what are the limitations of technology in fueling social movements? What are the threats that human rights defenders face online and how can they protect themselves? A provocative panel of technologists and human rights defenders offers thoughtful conclusions about how the movement can activate the digital space and get wired for change.

Session Five: Paths to Prosperity (4:25-5:20 p.m.)
The significance of human rights conventions as tools on the road to justice is well-established. And the growth of democratic movements and governments across the globe brings hope. But these successes have failed to create a path to economic prosperity that is more broadly shared. Billions of people are denied economic opportunity and access to resources. An equal number continue to face discrimination and exclusion. Can traditional human rights strategies deliver justice for those who are excluded and marginalized not just politically but socially and economically? This conversation will explore the new opportunities and voices that are offering answers to fundamental questions about the future of the human rights movement and its ability to move a globalizing world toward dignity for all.

(a) Benefit assistance
The President is authorized to provide to any individual unemployed as a result of a major disaster such benefit assistance as he deems appropriate while such individual is unemployed for the weeks of such unemployment with respect to which the individual is not entitled to any other unemployment compensation (as that term is defined in section 85 (b) of title 26) or waiting period credit. Such assistance as the President shall provide shall be available to an individual as long as the individual's unemployment caused by the major disaster continues or until the individual is reemployed in a suitable position, but no longer than 26 weeks after the major disaster is declared. Such assistance for a week of unemployment shall not exceed the maximum weekly amount authorized under the unemployment compensation law of the State in which the disaster occurred. The President is directed to provide such assistance through agreements with States which, in his judgment, have an adequate system for administering such assistance through existing State agencies.

A State shall provide, without reimbursement from any funds provided under this chapter, reemployment assistance services under any other law administered by the State to individuals receiving benefits under this section.

NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. - A fugitive who skipped out on a sex abuse trial in January has been caught.
Paul Turley and his wife were arrested by U.S. Marshalls Friday at a mobile home in Tuscon, Arizona.
He was arraigned on charges of fleeing from police. Additional charges are pending. Diane Turley was charged with hindering prosecution.
Investigators followed leads that led them to the couple. Authorities say Turley had also spent some time in Wisconsin, Michigan, and New Mexico, before he met up with a former acquaintance in Arizona.
That person is originally from Western New York. Police do not know if that person was aware that Turley was a fugitive.
A jury in Niagara County convicted the Dunkirk man for crimes police say happened in North Tonawanda in the mid to late '90s.
Turley had been on the run since he left the courtroom during a lunch break, before the trial jury was picked.
The Niagara County Sheriff's Department, Department of Homeland Security, and local authorities in Arizona helped with the case.

Greetings from the Land of 'Geek kids.
Today would normally be Tax Day, but since Washington, D.C. is closed down for Emancipation Day (?) you've got until Monday to "render unto Caesar."
Until then, why don't you let us take your mind off all that with some links and cheesecake.
This week's selection is the very rare double dip. True, we've been featuring two pictures of our weekly selections for some time now, but today, for only the second time ever, we'll be featuring two different ladies.
Simple really.
Scream 4 opens today and as Wes Craven attempts to resurrect his Ghostface slasher franchise, we thought we'd do our part by featuring the ladies most associated with the franchise.
First up, above, say hello to Courtney Cox.
The former Friend and current resident of Cougar Town (make your own joke. They do.), Ms. Cox plays intrepid reporter Gale Weathers in the series. She's been stalked by the Ghostface killer and David Arquette. She escaped the killer, but got knocked up and cheated on by Arquette. I don't think that would have happened if she'd stuck with Bat-Man. He's single-minded that way.
Recently, the paparazzi caught her in the nearly obligatory "nip slip" while on vacation. Never one to miss an opportunity, David Letterman asked about the incident while showing the picture on his show earlier this week. Good thing he's a friend of Bat-Man.
That's Michael Keaton kids.
Up next, we've got Neve Campbell. Ms. Campbell plays Sidney Prescott, the de facto heroine of the Scream movies. She also spent some time with the Salinger five and practicing her Craft. Still, perhaps her most famous non-Screamy cinematic moment is likely her pool makeout with former cheesecake/Mrs. Sheen, Denise Richards in Wild Things.
That's why they make the Google kids.
On to the links. Continue reading

PAWTUCKET --- It's been more than a month-and-a-half since the Pawtucket Red Sox strung together four wins in a row, but on Wednesday afternoon, they were able to extend their win streak at the expense of the Louisville Bats.
Three-run homers from Xander Bogaerts and Mark Hamilton and a strong start from Clayton Mortensen enabled the defending International League champions to hold off a seventh-inning rally by the Bats and come away with a 6-5 win at McCoy Stadium.
Mortensen, a reliever who was making his third straight start, improved to 2-0 by working a season-high six innings (and throwing just 79 pitches), allowing six hits and a fourth-inning run (on a two-out line single to right by Kristopher Negron), striking out three batters, and walking a pair.
"He's been effective," said PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina, who only used Mortensen for four innings in each of his last two starts. "He knows how to pitch. He knows how to get guys out, and he did a great job, (giving us) six solid innings.
Pawtucket, meanwhile, struggled to generate any offense through the first time around its batting order against Louisville starting pitcher Chad Rogers. But when the PawSox (65-59) collected their first hit of the game with two gone in the bottom of the third inning, it was a huge one – Bogaerts' ninth home run of the season.
With Jeremy Hazelbaker and Jackie Bradley Jr. on base via walks, Bogaerts turned on a 3-1 fastball from Rogers, and despite a breeze blowing toward the plate and knocking down hard-hit fly balls to the outfield, he deposited it deep into the berm in left-center field to give the PawSox a 3-0 lead.
"That's big-league pop," said DiSarcina. "That's raw power. That's what everyone's excited about, the ability to hit the ball that far. I think if there was no wind, it would have went off that scoreboard somewhere because I don't think you can hit a ball better than that. It was like it was shot out of a gun."
The PawSox didn't add to their hit total until the sixth, when with one gone, Bogaerts lined a single to center and Jonathan Diaz followed with an infield hit to the left side of the diamond.
Hamilton then crushed a 3-2 offering from Rogers deep into the picnic area in right for his 12th homer of the year and a 6-1 command. Hamilton, who hit a grand slam in the previous night's game, now has 11 RBIs in the past three games.
Armed with a 6-1 lead, the bullpen took over for Mortenson in the top of the seventh, but did not fare very well. It gave up hits to the first six batters of the inning and watched the Bats (60-66) shrink their five-run deficit to one.
Jose De La Torre, who entered the day having allowed just one run in his last 17 1/3 innings of work, yielded hits to the first five batters, including an RBI double to right from Derrick Robinson, a two-run double down the left-field line by Neftali Soto, and a run-scoring single to center by Felix Perez.
"He looked tired to me," DiSarcina said of De La Torre. "The ball really wasn't coming out of his hand. As soon as he let it go, it was either a ball or it was something right down the middle, and (Louisville) was aggressive with him. That was, without a doubt, an aberration for him."
Pedro Beato then relieved De La Torre, but after he instantly gave up a single to right by Henry Rodriguez, he set down the next three batters to silence the threat. After a scoreless eighth by Brayan Villarreal, closer Anthony Carter worked a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his 17th save.
After playing five innings behind the dish on Tuesday night in his first rehab game with the PawSox, Boston Red Sox catcher David Ross went seven innings in Wednesday's contest. He also went hitless in his first two at-bats (with a flyout to left field and a groundout to shortstop) before drawing a walk in his final plate appearance in the sixth.
"I think David was a little sluggish at the beginning, just because this was a noon game after a night game," expressed DiSarcina. "But he felt good as the game went on. He came out of (the game) alright, and he's great to have back there."
Ross, who has been on Boston's disabled list twice this season (most recently on the 60-day DL on June 18) due to concussions, was continuing a rehab assignment that began on Aug. 10 with Double-A Portland. He appeared in two rehab games with the Sea Dogs last weekend, serving as the designated hitter in the first game and the catcher in the next, and went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, runs batted in, and two runs scored.
DiSarcina repeated what he told the media after Tuesday night's game about Boston's plans for Ross. He will take today off, catch nine innings in Friday night's series finale with the Bats and Saturday night's series opener with the Buffalo Bisons, and then be reevaluated by team doctors on Sunday in Boston with the hopes of the Red Sox activating him in time for their West Coast trip that begins in San Francisco next Monday night.
Hours before the contest, the PawSox activated Villarreal from the disabled list and placed knuckleballer Charlie Haeger on the temporarily inactive list – just 12 hours after he pitched six solid innings to pick up his third win of the season.
Villarreal, who was acquired from the Detroit Tigers on July 30 as part of the Jake Peavy/Jose Iglesias three-team trade that also included the Chicago White Sox, was on the DL at the time of the deal with Triple-A Toledo with a right thumb injury.
Villarreal had spent parts of the past three seasons with the Tigers, going 4-8 with a 4.56 ERA in 73 appearances, striking out 86 batters in 75 innings.
He made his PawSox debut in the eighth with the hosts ahead by a run, and despite giving up singles that put runners at the corners with one out, he was able to get out of the inning unscathed with a strikeout and a groundout. Villarreal's fastball topped out at 97 mph and impressed his manager, who saw Villarreal in action earlier in the season with the Mud Hens and liked what he saw.
"We faced him when he was in Toledo and we saw that fastball," said DiSarcina. "It's an explosive fastball. He has a power arm -- I don't think he got a chance to throw many sliders -- but he's what we saw up in Toledo, a very exciting arm."
EXTRA BASES: The PawSox's win streak is their best since they won six straight games, all at the expense of Toledo, from June 22-27. ... Hazelbaker, who was celebrating his 26th birthday, stole his 31st base of the season. He is fifth in the I.L. in that category and one of only 10 players in team history to steal 30 or more bases. … Bogaerts extended his hit streak to eight games and is batting .400 (14-for-35) with seven RBIs during that stretch. … Prospect Anthony Ranaudo will make his third Triple-A start for the PawSox in tonight's 7:05 p.m. game against the Bats and ace pitcher Greg Reynolds, who is tied for second place in the I.L. in victories with 11. Ranaudo is 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in his previous two starts. … Tonight is also PawSox Back to School Notebook night, and the first 3,000 youngsters ages 14 and under that enter the stadium will receive a notebook that features Bradley Jr. on the cover.

EVERSON, NEW JERSEY -- I have had nothing but problems with Choice Warranty.
I bought a 3 year contract from them, as it seemed like great value.
It apparently is not, and CHW is not a company that is ethical or keeps
their word.
Firstly they do not replace, with a new item, like specified, they offer
you a buy out, and you cannot buy a new item, with the stupid amounts they
They offered me $250 for a new dishwasher. I said I could not get a new dishwasher for $250 and they said Sears outlet stores have them for that. Well no they did not.
And including tax and delivery installation it was going to cost me double their buy out. Including also, I had paid the $45 service fee, to be told it was broken, beyond repair.
When I said I would buy a secondhand one, they said they would only cover a new one. When I said it was going to cost me $130 to cover installation, and delivery, they said they do not cover that, although they do state that they do.
This is the third time they said they would do a buy out, the other two times, they said they would send me $200 (in six weeks) to cover repairs, and it was cheaper for me to go and purchase a good second hand one, and I cannot get a clear answer on if the second hand ones are covered.
When I wanted to cancel the policy, they said they would take off the full amount the policy would cost up to the time I cancelled (not the discounted amount I paid), so if it cost me $30 per month I had used, they where going to take off the full $42 per month I had used. Then to top it off, they where going to take off, any money that they had paid for repairs or buyouts, for the months I used, even though they where keeping my money for the months I had used already.
They are deceptive, they find ways to fight you for everything, they have bad customer service, and they lie.
They have reviews on their website, which they offer you free months for, however the two reviews they asked me to write, which where negative, where not put up on the site, they are selective of what they do put up on their website.
I told Choice "You should be ashamed of yourselves, your service sucks, and you do not do what you promise to do"
EDISON -- Choice Home Warranty is a TOTAL RIPOFF... I have first hand knowledge of many claims they screwed their customers on. We were forced to discontinue our relationship with Choice so we could "sleep at night." We as a contractor, saw a terrific amount of lies and denials of repairs that were well within warranty guidelines... We are a 45-year-old family owned and operated business for 46 years and NEVER have we seen such blatant ripoffs!!! Oh and these clowns hardly ever pay their service contractors should they honor a claim.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I have had Choice Home Warranty for 3 years now. I have been relatively happy until now. Previously, there had been a couple of bumps, but I had felt that they made good on it. Recently, however, I feel they dropped the ball and did so in a BIG, BIG way. It's a longish story, but necessary to understand.
I made my claim and was contacted right away with a service representative I had a hard time contacting the service rep--every time I called, I never got an answer or voice mail. Finally, the representative contacted me and we made an appointment. He then no-showed. Choice Home Warranty called the original "preferred provider" to find out what happened. The "preferred provider" then contacted me. He forgot about our appointment. He wanted to set up another appointment in a few days. I called Choice Home Warranty, the apologzied and gave me the name of new service representative Again, I could not get ahold of the representative The representative finally called me and told me that he would be at my house the next day in the 1-4 pm window. I told the representative I had another appointment, and I could not be there until 2 at the earliest and 2:30 would be more reasonable. The representative just told me that he would call and see if I was there, but my window was 1-4 tomorrow. He would not set up another day or time. He showed up at 3:30.
When the representative showed up, he had no tools. How are you going to fix an appliance (built in microwave) with NO tools? Before he even stepped foot into my kitchen, he offered to turn it in as non-fixable if I wanted. This is point one: What kind of service reps does Choice Home Warranty contract with? These are the people coming into your home! They are not reliable or trustworthy. The service representative was not happy when I stated I wanted it fixed. He then got a screwdriver and a drill. He removed the microwave and began to leave with it. When I questioned it (remember, he has already proved to be "iffy"), he then said, he would need to look at it at the warehouse. I objected. I didn't want wires hanging out of my cabinet for 1-2 weeks, especially with small children, and I didn't trust the guy. I didn't know if I would ever see the microwave again. The service representative threw a fit. Looked at the microwave, said he needed to order parts and would contact me in 5-8 business days to make the repairs.
3 business days later, I received a phone call from Choice Home Warranty saying the representative said that the repairs weren't worth the cost of the microwave. It was going to cost about $200 to repair and the microwave wasn't worth that. Choice Home Warranty offered me a buy-out of $205. While on the phone with Choice Home Warranty, I looked up the cost of my microwave--$969, $899 at Sears (the lowest price). I told them that $205 wasn't acceptable and why. The representative on the phone agreed and said he would pass me on to someone with more authority.
The someone "with more authority" said, basically: Too bad, so sad. That I didn't need to have a stainless steel, built-in microwave with features (what needed repair), I could buy a basic, counter-top microwave that wasn't stainless steel and had no features instead for $200-$300. That's what they are priced wholesale. I'm a consumer; I can't buy wholesale. I kept complaining, so he upped the price to $250 to cover my service fee.
Choice Home Warranty says (straight from their website): "CHW will replace your unit with a similar or like feature model, or even send you a check to buy a new item!" as their advertising pitch. The contract states: "We are responsible for installing replacement equipment of similar features, capacity, and efficiency." $205 is only 10% of what the SIMILAR or LIKE FEATURE or SIMILAR FEATURES, CAPACITY, and EFFICIENCY model would cost. The person "with more authority" claims they don't have to match features, just wattage. Not according to their contract. I don't expect a full replacement fee on a 6 year old microwave for a brand new one, but more than 10%. I would expect at minimum 50% and probably closer to 75%. I do have friends with different companies that get 90-100%! Here is point two: Choice Home Warranty does not honor their agreements. I've tried contacting Choice Home Warranty several times (phone, online form, email), but they won't work with me to solve the problem.
And it was a darn good thing I did not let the guy take my microwave because then I'd really be out of luck.
EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- I filed 2 claims on April 29, 2015, one for my broken front loading washer and the other for my oven. Let me just say they denied both, but the oven claim is where they really got creative. I was told that the technician reported that the control board of my oven went out. This caused the oven to malfunction while self-cleaning and catch fire. Get this they denied the claim based on the secondary fire (which is not covered) even though the technician reported the malfunctioned (brain). After I complained enough they offered me $91 to replace the control board of a totaled oven that the firemen, had to break the glass and door to put the fire out on. The technician reported the stove as a total loss. So after arguing with them to no avail, I told them as soon as my claim was settled I would be cancelling my policy. I was told by Warmesha that even though I was paid for the entire month of May, if I canceled then on the 9th of May, not only would I not receive a prorated refund, they also would not honor the existing claim and send me the $91 check. I argued that the claim/ incident happened during a time that I had coverage (April 27, 2015) and in fact I am still covered. They insisted that their policy stated that if I canceled they didn't have to honor my claim. So I said send me my check and then cancel my policy. Warmesha stated it didn't work like that, if I had any intention of cancelling, I would not be paid. Warmesha then stated that SHE was going to cancel my policy; I explicitly told her not to cancel, just send me the money ($91) for my claim and disconnected the call. This was 5/12/2015. I called today 5/19/2015 to check the status of my claim and was informed that my policy had been canceled by WARMESHA at MY request. After speaking to Michael ID #1852181 I was told that my policy would not be reinstated and my claim would not be paid since I was no longer a customer of CHW. I requested a manager and got Jose ID# 1852180 and was then told, that they never should have offered me any compensation and he was rescinding that offer. He also stated that he would try to reinstate my policy; I declined that offer and instead asked for a refund of my May premium. Jose stated that even though Warmesha canceled my policy against my will, they had not assessed me the $50 cancellation fee, if I insisted on a refund of the 3 unused weeks he would then apply the $50 cancellation fee. I then informed him again that this call as well as ALL previous calls regarding this claim was being recorded. He promptly hung up. This company is a SCAM, they are in business to collect premiums ONLY. Their motto is "you get more and pay less" the truth is you pay less and get NOTHING. Unfortunately, I didn't check online reviews BEFORE signing with the company. Do yourself a favor and check ALL reviews and complaints and GO WITH ANOTHER REPUTABLE company. All the complaints are the, same premium collected, claim DENIED. I am contacting the AG, the BBB and any other legal recourse possibly available to me. I am going to diligently try and get a class action law suit filed against this fraudulent company. I f I could give ZERO stars I would, unfortunately like everything about this company you have to give them something.
All I can do is laugh, only because I should have read all of these reviews before choosing Choice Home Warranty. I have now done plenty of research and have seen pending government action action them in New Jersey through the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs and a NBC news story in Chicago highlighting very disturbing and consistently bad service and business practices provided by Choice Home Warranty.
My wife and I are one month into our first house together and Choice Home Warranty was our first home warranty company. The compressor in AC unit have stopped working due to wiring issues. I believe they were melted at the connecting point. So we call to make they claim and CHW sends a company out that does a great job and fixes the issue with no problems. All it took was a new replacing that set of wires with a new set apparently. A $75 claim after the $60 service call we have with our "premium plan". I get a call from our service company saying the CHW has denied our $75 claim on the basis that it was a "pre-existing issue". I'm confused, how the hell do you know this is a pre-existing issue if no one has ever serviced this unit before and by that logic you could possibly say that any issue we have moving forward was a "pre-existing issue". After reading all of these poor reviews and stories, it seems that Choice Home Warranty makes a habit of using this "pre-existing" claim consistently to get out of covering services that are the WHOLE POINT OF HAVING HOME WARRANTY!
I laughed again at this though because I figured that they would at least buy us a cheap drink before they tried to screw us! This was our first claim with them and it was for $75! If you're not going to cover a simple $75 claim, what on earth would give us ANY confidence going forward for you to cover ANYTHING ELSE down the road which basically makes you WORTHLESS!
I called this morning to cancel our contract with Choice Home Warranty with every intent to let them know how disappointed we were with their decision to decline our first claim and try to get a better understanding of their reasoning. I get transferred to the cancellation team, which is usually the team at most REPUTABLE companies that wants to know why you are canceling and will want to figure out if there is a way to not lose you as a consumer. This is the moment that all consumers use to air their grievances and give feedback on why we no longer want to use your services in hopes that the company will fix the issue, maybe make a note of the issue, or at the VERY LEAST listen to the issue. NOT WITH CHOICE HOME WARRANTY, they stayed consistent with every other bad business decision and proceeded to cancel my policy with not one question being asked about why I was canceling our policy FOUR days into it becoming active and told me I'd be charged a prorated fee of $33 for the month (which seemed high for four days of coverage) and an administrative fee of $50. It's sad to say but after he told me that I actually felt I was getting the better end of the deal only having to pay $83 to never have to deal with them again! Haha. They also said I would be getting $321 credited back to my account for our deposit. I fully expect for them to stay consistent with their business practices, which means I will most likely have to call them a couple more times to receive my money back. Hopefully they prove me wrong.
We are very fortunate and lucky that our first problem at our house was a very small and inexpensive one. I really feel bad for all of the other people on here and off that have had to go through this experience with much more expensive repairs. It's not right and can really change a families fortunes for the worse, which is the exact opposite of what a home warranty is supposed to do.
I've attached the link for the news story in Chicago here: (http://www.nbcChicago.com/investigations/Home-Warranty-Business-Accused-of-Not-Paying-Up-234666501.html)
There are plenty more stories like this with Choice Home Warranty and you won't have to search to far in Google to find them...
EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- Choice Home Warranty practices Bad Business. Numerous complaints on this company as well as an F rating from the BBB. Do your research before using this company. Below is my letter to the president (James Moss) of Choice Home Warranty:
Mr.. Moss,
This is in regards to our claim #49167121. We had signed up with your company last year for piece of mind that when our appliances/hot water heater/furnace/AC ever went out or needed to be replaced, we were covered in cases such as these. We were thrilled to know that we had protection for a monthly fee in instances where if something went wrong, it would be fixed or replaced.
Well, come to find out were my wife and I ever wrong...Our A/C unit went out this past Tuesday evening. We contacted your company, your company sent a contractor out (Sunshine Heating and Cooling). The contractor told us we needed a new A/C unit. Your company has now refused to pay the claim because you need our last 3 years of service invoices. Huh really? Well let me check the Home Service Agreement regarding where it specifies this. Hmmm...I don't see it. Let me read it again. Hmmm...Not there. So, calls to Customer Service....Oh and I use the term 'Customer Service' very loosely when dealing with your company. Let me just say as I have been in Customer Service for over 20 years in various positions including management, that if I had hired any of the people you have working in your Customer Service department at my company, I would have received a pink slip and a grade of 'F' for talent evaluation. Speaking of 'F', I noticed last night that is your grade from the Better Business Bureau...Shocking! But more on that later...So, I call Customer Service yesterday to explain to one of your CSRs, who actually sounded like he was about 15, but I digress...To let him know (Shaun) that we have a friend who comes out and does that on the side for us and we pay him cash. I won't bore you with the details of my conversation because from what I can see doing a search of complaints by other consumers towards your company, looks like you have your hands full...
So, I call once again to speak to a manager (Jim). Told by one of your Customer Service Reps that they will have a manager call me back. Call me back? What? Why? When? Your CSR tells me in about 4 hours...4 HOURS!!!!...Seriously??? Oh wait, now I know why it took such a long time (oh and by the way, I had to call back because I never got the return call from a manager) because they have so many other complaints they have to deal with. So, finally get a hold of a manager (Jim) explain the situation about the refusal of the claim, why do you need the last 3 years of Service invoices, explained we have a friend of ours do it on the side, nowhere in the Home Service Agreement does it state this, etc. etc. Then he interrupts me that he is trying to explain the agreement and rattles off all of these section numbers in the contract where it states this...OK, I went through this agreement twice, don't see this...So, I raise my voice because quite frankly, the runaround is ridiculous. He then says to stop raising my voice and well, I raised it again and then he hung up on me! Yet another shocker! Let me tell you why I raised my voice...It has been between 98-100 degrees here for the past several days! So, let's see...NO AC + hot temperatures + poor service + lack of empathy = TICKED OFF!!!
OK, this gets better...So we speak to Randy at Sunshine Heating and Cooling. He says that when he spoke to someone at your company, Randy had told them twice that our AC unit was well maintained and simply put, just died....This is where the whole piece of mind thing comes in, but obviously not with Choice Home Warranty.
So, Mr.. Moss, let me ask you some questions:
Do you not trust the contractors you hire? In other words, if they tell you something has been well maintained why do you need 3 years of service records? Form the looks of the complaints I saw, doesn't look like your contractors don't trust you very much either
So what about all the other consumers who have people fix stuff for them on the side or actually do it themselves? Do you deny them as well? Especially ones who self-maintain their stuff. Can they send in a hand-written piece of paper that says the did it? Does that suffice? According to your manager (Jim), it must be serviced by a bonded and insured contractor. Really? Where does it say that in the Home Service Agreement? Yeah, Jim your manager's response..."Well it doesn't..." Yet another shocker...
So here is a scenario...My fridge is on the fritz...Call CHW...Service Contractor comes out says need a new fridge....Call CHW, are they going to tell me to provide 3 years of service invoices? Really? What about a stove? Hot water heater? Washer? Dryer? Mr.. Moss, do you have your fridge serviced every year? How about your stove? Dishwasher? Washer? Dryer?
Back to that whole 'F' grade from the BBB...Yes, we have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
So, here is what my expectations are...I want a phone call from you to discuss remuneration. And when I say phone call, I don't mean me having to call you, you need to call me! I am not in the mood for any East Coast BS...Born and raised in New Jersey myself, so let me just say I am up to the challenge. My number is 314.479.2304.
If I do not hear from you by end of business Monday August 9th, I will be contacting my attorney.
EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- On my first claim, my water heater was leaking. Due to the urgency, the Choice representative suggested I pay for the repair and submit a reimbursement form. I did. The claim was denied without any reason. I tried for several weeks to get a reason. None was given.
My AC went out and I called to file a claim. The first company I was told to call informed me they don't work with Choice anymore because Choice won't pay them. I called back to get a different repair company. Company 2 didn't work with Choice either. Company #3 didn't either. Finally, company 4 did accept Choice. Each time it took Choice a day to get me a new company so this is 4 days without AC in August in Mississippi.
My 18 month old washing machine sounded like a freight train. I called Choice and submitted a claim. The repair man said he would order the part and install it for free when it came in. 30 days later I called Choice for an update. I was offered $200 for my 18 month old front loading washing machine because it was too old to repair. When he finally agreed it wasn't too old--giving him the date I purchased it and registered it with Whirlpool--he said he would order the part. A week later I called for another update. Choice said the part was discontinued. I called Whirlpool Parts Department and found the part. I then went online and placed the order on hold. I called Choice and told them it was NOT discontinued. Then I was offered $300.00. I told them the machine was still financed and no--fix it! Another week later I called and was offered $400.00 and was told take it or leave it. I talked to everyone at that company to figure out why it was $400.00 and no one would talk to me.
I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint and Choice cancelled my warranty for both houses. Of course it has been 35 days and I still don't have the refund for either house.
Check out the NJ Attorney General's office. They are investigating Choice for selling warranties and add-on warranties then denying the claims. I jumped on that bandwagon quickly!
EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- Our complaint is a repeat…repeat…repeat of all the complaints listed here. Legit contract, paid for months, first claim ever…needs repair…requested records…provided it to them…even phone numbers of our maintenance company so they could ask any questions they want…stories changing all the time…lies told…information made up…degrading comments made by Michael Scott…accused us as well as our maintenance contractor of fraud, based on nothing but lies he made up…threatened us legally…same, same, same, ditto, ditto, ditto.
In reading all other comments I found one from the president of CHW himself. Here is what it says:
Please be aware that CHW is a legitimate business. All home warranty companies deny claims on items that are not covered under the warranty agreement. Please read the contract for specific coverage, limitations, & exclusions. My name is James Moss and I am the President of CHW. If anyone ever has a problem with our service I would love to know about it. At CHW we pride ourselves on providing outstanding service, and when problems arise we pride ourselves in working efficiently to rectify the problem. Please e-mail me at JMoss[at]ChoiceHomeWarranty.com with your concerns. Thank you, James Moss President visit my blog @ blog. choicehomewarranty.com
Soooo…before posting this comment I certainly went to that blog site to attempt to deal directly with Mr. Moss. No shock to find that all comment sections are disabled. Went to the Facebook page…no commenting available there either!! So surprised. Tried the email address…rejected…shocker. We have sent everything by fax. We will be pursuing delivering all of this by certified delivery in person to Mr. Moss and his company as well. Based on all of this we will pursue through the BBB as well.
I only post here to say to anyone who is listening, googling, wondering, considering CHOICE HOME WARRANTY…DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT!!! SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE, WASTED MONEY AND HEADACHE ON THROWING YOUR MONEY AT ILLEGITIMATE SCAMMERS!!!
EDISON, NEW JERSEY -- I put 4 houses under contract with Choice Home warranty, and I am completely dissatisfied with Choice Home warranty.
Some of the specific questions I asked the Choice sales representative were about old plumbing, and old appliances, and was was told that neither would be a problem. this is a lie I was denied a plumbing claim because of old lines.
Choice has no repairmen under contract in Morgan City, so I have had to use their reimbursement system, which you need special authorization for repairs over $100.00, (including the service call fee). They have only one contact no. to handle all problems. The wait is usually ten min. to talk to a service rep, and if they have to transfer you, it will be another 10 min. Also they will not transfer you to a supervisor. Repairmen also have to go through this process, to get authorization for any amount over $100.00.
Most recently I have been denied for a washer that is out of warranty, It took me a about 2 weeks to get a repairman to come out, because the 1st repairman I called said they would look into the matter, and call me back, but never did. When I had a 2nd repairman finally come out, they diagnosed the problem, and gave me an estimate of $680.00 Choice home warranty would not authorize the repair, and the Choice service tech told me they would replace the washer. When I called Choice back to find out about replacing the washer, I was told that the claim was under review, and Choice had contacted a repairman to give a 2nd opinion, that repairman was the 1st I had contacted, who never returned my call. After another week that repairman contacted me, and told me he could not work on my brand of washer.
I immediately called Choice, and was informed that the claim was under review again, because someone had determined that he problem had to be a manufacturers defect, (how this was determined I have no idea). I was so mad, I told the Choice representative We should end this call before I start cussing, and I wanted someone in authority to call me back.
After 15 mins. I was calmed down, and called Choice back. This time I was informed that the claim was already denied, because of the manufacturers defect determination
I have still not talked to a supervisor or figured out who determined the problem was a manufacturers defect.
My experience is that Choice Home Warranty Lied to me at purchase of warranty, and went out of their way to deny 3 of my legitimate claims, (2 are documented here). Also their contact, and claim handling system is terrible. I have not found any way to contact supervisors, review my claims, or dispute denials.
Another problem I had was for a $90.00 reimbursement claim that I sent to the address on claim form as certified mail. The letter was returned to me because no one would sign for it, (according to post office clerk information). I sent the letter again 1st class mail, and finally received my reimbursement about 2 months later. Why won't this company accept certified mail, and why should it take so long to get reimbursement money.
Account # 419209
Claim number: 49060942
GREENWOOD, ARKANSAS -- This company is not really in the business of honoring their contracts. I had purchased a warranty in Sept. 2009, hoping to offer peace of mind to a prospective buyer of our home which we were going to put on the market to sell. Don't ask me what website I had read positive reviews on before purchasing this warranty, because I can't find it now. I have wondered if it might have been made up by the company itself.
We had a buyer for our home and an inspector saw flames coming out of our unit which he thought were too wide and recommended we have the heater checked, thinking it needed an adjustment. We called a repairman the next day rather than use the Home Warranty thinking he would just need to make a minor adjustment. He found we had a bad heat exchanger and said carbon monoxide was coming into our home. I called Choice Home Warranty and they sent out another company the next day. Once again, we were told we had a bad heat exchanger. He called and reported it to CHW. They said they would let us know what they decided to do. I called the next day and they said my claim was denied due us failing to maintain the unit (sound familiar from earlier posts?) and rust and corrosion that the repairman had reported. I asked how there could be rust on our unit when it was inside my house in an enclosed closet?
Long and short, they refused to honor their warranty. We had a new unit installed as we had cold weather coming and the house was being sold. My husband called and finally was able to talk to a manager and my husband told the mngr. we had spoken with both repairmen and both had stated our unit had normal wear and tear and there was not excessive rust, and that we had pictures to prove it. The manager said that how were they to know we did not pay the repairmen $20 to say that and how were they to know it was OUR unit. We could have pictures of another unit. Are these people for real?
We have filed a complaint with the New Jersey BBB and after the moving and holidays, I emailed them and they had closed our case assuming it had been resolved. I emailed back that there had been NO communication and we are not happy with how any of our claim has been handled. I asked them to reopen our case, and am awaiting their response. In the meantime, I am going to call the New Jersey Attorney General, and send them my pictures and the statements from the repairman. Not only did we pay for a Warranty, but we paid for two repair visits and a new heater unit which costs $1962.
I would avoid doing business with this company at all costs. I bought my warranty in good faith and feel they have not been fair in handling our claim.
Stay AWAY!!!

Jonesboro, AR (Sports Network) - Isaiah Canaan poured in 18 points as the Murray State Racers took care of the Arkansas State Red Wolves, 61-54, in a non-conference bout at the ASU Convocation.
The Racers (9-1) outrebounded the Red Wolves, 41-30. Stacy Wilson scored 12 points and grabbed 13 boards. Murray State also won despite turning the ball over 18 times while dishing out just six assists.
Ed Townsel netted 15 points for ASU (6-4) which shot just 2-of-15 from three- point range as a team. Brandon Peterson registered a double-double with 14 points and 11 boards. Raeford Worsham scored 13 points and added four steals off the bench.
Arkansas State led 27-26 at halftime after holding the Racers to 1-of-11 shooting from behind the arc in the opening 20 minutes.
The second half was tight until the end when ASU failed to make a field goal in the final 3:53 of action. Murray State converted 5-of-10 from distance and 8-of-10 at the charity stripe in the second half walk away with the seven- point decision.
Arkansas State loses at home for the first time this season while Murray State improves to 4-0 on the road. The Red Wolves went 2-of-15 from beyond the arc and lost the rebounding battle, 41-30.

1. Bot type - basically what you do here is learn what bots use what specific weapons, eg. Bones uses shotgun only, Anarki = rockets, Hossman = LG & RL, Xaero = Rail, Sarge = plasma, etc., and then add them like this:
\addbot < name > < skill level 1-5 >,
eg. \addbot Anarki 5
2. Infinite ammo: g_infiniteAmmo 1
3. Replace the gun faster? You mean weapon switch time? You can lower the pmove_WeaponRaiseTime and pmove_WeaponDropTime (both at 200 by default), but it will only affect you as bots are usually one weapon only.
You can also lower bot_thinktime to 0 to make them dodge better and react faster.
If you want to save the settings, use \writeconfig autoexec, and it will be saved automatically. If you want to reset a certain cvar later, you can do \reset name.
and how to put air control?
I put the code of infinite ammo and it did not work ..
Don't know why it didn't work, make sure you typed it correctly:
\g_infiniteAmmo 1
For air control, set this to 1:
\pmove_AirControl 1
and you'll probably want to enable ramp jumps, too:
\pmove_RampJump 1
Btw, are you trying to emulate the PQL/CPMA gameplay settings? You can do that easier with \callvote ruleset pql, and you'll have all PQL settings applied automatically. (you can revert that later with \callvote ruleset ql)
Maybe its cheat-protected?
Try it again after starting match with
/devmap campgrounds
or any other map you want
Real life? Life is real?!
