After an up and down spring, the Vols left us many questions for summer.
Many of the new four- and five-star recruits who were Kiffin-leftovers or Dooley-commits didn't participate.
There were also injuries to key contributors like NFL-ready tight end Luke Stocker and sixth-year player Nick Reveiz, who was the heart and soul of the linebackers a couple seasons back.
The non-conference game against Oregon could be a possible upset for the Vols because the multi-talented quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was dismissed.
However, this spark of optimism is just a small light in an abyss of questions.

Whether it is a family traveling to Orlando to experience the magic of Walt Disney World Resort, or a couple looking for a romantic getaway to Napa Valley, Preferred Guest Resorts understands the very personal and important role vacations can play in people's lives. Ripoff Report is pleased with the initiative and responsiveness of Preferred Guest Resorts, and with the absolute commitment everyone at the company has to the customer satisfaction of their guests.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Michelle Morse, VP of Markting and Mitch Lokken, VP of Reservations & Customer Care during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Preferred Guest Resorts.
Preferred Guest Resorts is a promotional and reservation company specializing in providing fun and affordable vacations around the world. Leads are acquired through several sources, including referrals from previous and existing clients, business partnerships, and various websites. The typical sales process begins with a potential customer calling Preferred Guest Resorts to look into booking a destination and identifying the dates they wish to travel. "Preferred Guest Resorts will [then] qualify then potential customer for financial ability, dates, and destination(s)," explains Michelle Morse, VP of Marketing for Preferred Guest Resorts. If the potential customer qualifies, the company will then explain the terms and conditions, plus benefits such as the refund policy, travel protection, etc. The client will receive a text message and e-mail to confirm the agreement and welcome them. Seven days prior to the trip, the client receives a follow-up welcome call, reminding them of the trip.
At times, customers may not feel satisfied with the services they've received. An example of this is a client calling Preferred Guest Resorts several months after agreeing to the deal and lodges a complaint, requesting a full refund. "A full refund is not an option since the customer is informed up front that such request must be done in the first 30 days. However, the complaining client is informed they have some options: Assign their package to someone else; sell their package to someone else; or change travel dates," explains Ms. Morse. "The company does 20,000 sales each month, but only receives between 3-4 monthly complaints. 90%+ customers are satisfied. The company has a 20%-40% repeat customer rate. Most complaints happen before the customer travels," she states.
Preferred Guest Resorts has a resolution process in place to work with clients who do not feel satisfied with their experience. This resolution process involves listening to the situation in order to clearly understand the complaint; employ a dedicated department (Customer Service Quality Assurance) to handle the complaint; present possible solutions/options for the client to choose from, such as new travel dates; and finally, execute a decision based on the client's preferred choice. "The company objective is to resolve complaints on one call, which happens the majority of the time. This is why the company has set up the Customer Service Quality Assurance department," explains Ms. Morse. Once a complaint is resolved, the Customer Service Quality Assurance department follows up with the customer via e-mail, phone call, or both.
If the client is not happy with the trip itself, then Preferred Guest Resorts will engage the hotel or resort to assist in resolving the complaint. "The hotel may offer tickets to an area attraction and Preferred Guest Resorts may offer a second vacation for free," states Ms. Morse. To ensure the complaints do not get repeated in the future, if the negative situation involves the hotel or resort, then Preferred Guest Resorts will not work with that hotel/resort anymore. The company also offers their customers a refund policy within 30 days of agreeing to the terms of the vacation.
Since receiving complaints via Ripoff Report, Preferred Guest Resorts have taken strides to post all of their 800 numbers on Facebook, updated their website and continually work to ensure they stay current, and have worked to make the process more customer friendly and to resolve complaints quickly and efficiently. Preferred Guest Resorts recognizes the benefit of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and customers to interact and resolve issues. "Being part of the program allows Preferred Guest Resorts and its consumers to have a voice," states Ms. Morse.

Free dental service in Waukesha keeps kids smiling
Six dental chairs at a Waukesha clinic were filled nonstop Friday with teens and preteens who hadn't seen a dentist in awhile, if ever.
This was a day for smiles all around.
About 40 kids whose families otherwise couldn't afford dental care were getting their teeth checked and fixed for free.
About 23 volunteers - dentists, hygienists, drivers and others - were giving up their time in Waukesha for an important cause replicated around the state and nation Friday, part of the American Dental Association's 10th annual "Give Kids A Smile" program for children of low-income families.
I've never associated a dentist's drill with happiness, other than when it finally stopped. But untended cavities, gum disease and tooth infections can lead to pure misery. So, yes, dental care and healthy teeth should definitely bring a smile.
The assembly line of dental care set up in downtown Waukesha was at the Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic. The third-floor waiting room in the Barstow Office Building was filled first thing in the morning with about a dozen high school students and school staff who brought them.
Shyanne Blair, a 16-year-old Waukesha sophomore, was among the first in the chair Friday. She said she'd not seen a dentist for four years. Before her 40-minute visit was finished, she'd had X-rays, her teeth cleaned, a fluoride treatment and a check by one of the volunteer dentists.
She was also scheduled to come back the following Friday, Part Two of the "Give Kids A Smile" event, when her cavities would be filled - again at no charge.
"Not bad. You made it!" said volunteer hygienist Jane Pepin as she finished Shyanne's cleaning. Pepin had eased nerves with comfortable conversation and learned that Shyanne wanted to become a teacher.
"I would encourage you to do that," Pepin said. "Keep going. Stay in school." With continuing dental care, she'd have a nice smile for those kindergartners in her classroom, Pepin said.
The Waukesha County Community Dental Clinic was started in May 2008 because a ProHealth Care community outreach nurse in the schools, Hanneke Deeken, couldn't find dentists for all the children she saw with serious dental problems. She was driving them to the Marquette Dental School in Milwaukee and the few available places they could get served.
"I had hundreds of kids in that situation, and you can't drive hundreds of kids to Milwaukee," she said.
With a full-throttle community effort, start-up funds from the Waukesha Memorial Hospital Foundation, an effective fundraiser in Executive Director Renee Ramirez and continuing donations from loyal backers, the clinic now sees about 500 patients a month.
Friday's was the clinic's fourth annual "Give Kids A Smile" offering. Deeken said the free services, and the affordable dental care that's now available year round, have made a huge difference.
"It's unbelievable," she said. In the past, when she'd see a child with four or five obvious cavities, "it would take me weeks to get that problem taken care of" - and often with multiple trips to Milwaukee. "Now I pick up the phone and they (at the Waukesha-based clinic) find the space mostly that same day."
Deeken, a clinic board member, is seeing long-term improvements, too.
"The first couple of years, it was fixing a lot of teeth and getting them started," she said. Now some of those patients are being recalled for follow-up checks, and "85% of the recall kids, their mouths are healthy. That is tremendous. We're not just filling the gaps, but - I'm sure of it - we are preventing oral disease going forward."
While Friday's services were completely free, patients normally pay up to - and no more than - $20 a visit, Ramirez said. About 75% of the patients seen in a year are children. About 60% of patients are from Waukesha, about 20% are from Oconomowoc and the Lake Country area, with the rest coming from around the county.
Obviously proud of the clinic's impressive track record since 2008, Ramirez said the targeted services on two Fridays in February each year - during National Children's Dental Health Month - is "an amazing production."
One of the dentists at work Friday morning was Joseph Fahl, who followed up hygienist Pepin's work with Shyanne by taking a closer look at her teeth, mouth and tongue.
"Open real wide for me and say 'aaaahhhh,' " he told her.
Exactly what I'd say about a program that gets free dental services to those who need them most.

Context :
I have decided to stop using the NextGen gallery plugin - basically because the code has bloated from 1Mb to 9Mb with features I don't want (as it was when Alex Rabe maintained it, I only used the basic image management). It was rather forced upon me as when I tried to follow the instructions to wind back to the pre-version 2, it broke the site and I lost all the image information.
So I have decided to use WordPress' media management (which was inexistant when I started using NextGen). I've found a plugin to deal with the thumbnail cropping (because what's on offer is useless) and now I'm working on creating a way of presenting the images.
I've looked at various "portfolio" plugins, but none of them actually offer a solution for what I need - they are oriented towards graphics people or photographers and I'm looking for a way of presenting my work as a visual artist.
Bearing in mind Justin Tadlock's advice to put personal "permanent" customisations into a plugin rather than changing functions.php every time you change or modiy your theme, I'm trying to do this with my galleries.
My solution at the moment is a custom page template, but it would be better if the gallery could be called with a shortcode
I use the content on the page to give an introduction to the works that are being shown and this needs to be integrated into the gallery structure -
schematically the existing custom template looks like this :
< Query to get the attached images >
< Do things >
< the_content() --intro to work >
< do the rest >
This works. But trying to get to the shortcode solution has defeated me. I need to stop the_content() from printing as is usual, and I need it's output as a variable.
I've found that I can get something using
$post->post_content but it starts, inevitably with "[workgallery]..." my shortcode, which I don't know how to get rid of and equally inevitably, the_content() outputs below as well.
I trawled the net, and found that I could put the_content() into an output buffer, which would give me it's output as a variable but as the content of the page contains my shortcode, it sets up an infinite loop and the page goes into meltdown.
I've looked at
add_filter(the_content, $myvariable) but all the examples I've found have been for adding bits to a post, rather than manipulating the output as described above.
Advice and possible solutions would be much appreciated.

Hi All. Wow, it seems like I'm only here when I have a problem.
I'm having a problem with my sidebars and widgets. The widgets work fine when they're added, but they tend to overlap over the original sidebar. For example, my right sidebar contains categories as a default but if I add the 'categories' widget, my theme will display two sets of categories, one after the other.
The sidebar.php file is useless since it only provides the code for my left sidebar and I want to change things on my right sidebar.
Even when the widget list shows no widgets, categories and blogroll continue to display. I just wanted to change the order of these.
Hope someone can help, thanks.

I wrote them immediately and their automated customer service message was that I would hear back from them in five business days or less. No...they did not get back to me. I wrote again, and in response I got an automated message asking if I'd like to give a review. I sure did. I still have not heard from anyone at all.
It was a terrible waste of money and I will never deal with them again. They showed one thing and sent an entirely different and very cheap, flimsy, and shoddy comforter set in its place.

The technician damaged other parts on the inside during the repair. He came back 2 more times, over another 10 day period, failing to repair the set. He finally gave up and recommended that Sony replace it.
After many, many calls to Sony "service" and jumping through a series of bureaucratic hoops they finally agreed to replace it with a "refurbished" set. Refurbished is code for previously broken. Once they decided to send the set they removed themselves from the process.
After spending $3800.00 on a top of the line Sony television, I was without a working television for 6 weeks. All through this long and frustrating process customer "service" continually told me that they could do nothing to help me. I'm sure that these people were following corporate procedures and doing what they were told.
The executives have effectively insulated themselves from the public and have repeated shown that once you purchase the product they will do as little as possible to help if there is a problem.
My advice is to avoid purchasing any Sony electronic products. If you ever have a problem you will literally spend hours on the phone with customer "service" representatives that can't help you.

I know this might sound crazy and incredibly naive, but I think Starcraft II might actually see a release sometime this year. My proof? The new Battle.net video preview. First off, if you have any interest in Blizzard's online future, stop and watch the video. It's only about 5 minutes and if you like new, shiny, slick menus and interfaces, those 5 minutes will really fly.
Watched it? Good.
In my head, Starcraft II has transformed into this diaphanous, mythical icon that is the topic of conversation from time to time, but no one really believes exists. I've been reading about it, watching videos on it, and discussing it for almost 3 years now, which seems crazy to me. To be completely honest, I had to do a quick Google search on its official announcement date to even remember how long it's been.
The product itself has seen changes too. First, we all thought it would be a single, standalone title much like its predecessor, with perhaps some similar expansions post-release. Now, we know that the newest venture into the Starcraft universe will be broken up into 3 chapters, each starring a different race from the franchise. Finally, we were told the first title to hit would be called Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty and would star the humans for the single player campaign, but would include all 3 races for the multiplayer component. Subsequent chapter would be released on a 2-3 years schedule, bringing all-new campaigns and multiplayer additions, like Brood War. To top it all off, Blizzard even threw around the idea of each race playing differently in their respective campaigns. For example, the Zerg story would play more like a strategy RPG, rather than a traditional RTS.
Fast forward a bit and Blizzard reveals that Battle.net would be receiving a massive overhaul to not only bring the aging service into a new generation of online play, but offer connectivity between Blizzard titles (aka Starcraft II and WoW) and create a more cohesive community, much akin to Xbox Live, PSN and Steam.
Not much else was heard since then, except the reason for Starcraft II's many delays were due to Battle.net's enhancements. We would have to wait a bit longer. "In the meantime, get your hopes up with some SCII beta registration, we promise it will hit before the end of 2009." We all know how that ended.
So, a jaded, pessimistic Starcraft fan base entered into 'twenty-ten,' reading the many "Year's Most Anticipated" articles and scoffing whenever Starcraft II made the list. Truthfully, they couldn't be serious? Do they really think we'll even get the BETA before the year is out? We've been burned before, not again.
February 10th comes along, and a new Battle.net video has been released. This might be the sign we've all been waiting for. Since the new service's developmental hangups have been pegged as the reason for Starcraft II's many delays, this might pave the way for a consistent influx of information that hopefully leads to an imminent (please?) beta rollout.
Battle.net 2.0 looks absolutely fantastic and seems to be well worth the wait. Persistent profiles Achievements? Friends list? In-game chat? Auto-matching? Meta-games? YES PLEASE.
Did I mention I'm a sucker for sleek and sexy menus, all things Sci-Fi and the color BLUE? Well I am, and Battle.net now has ALL of that.
In my heart of hearts, I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I really want to believe a bone has been thrown (finally) to everyone waiting for this game.
And should this article magically cross the desk of a Blizzard employee -
My name is Michael, I love Starcraft, and I want to test your betas

Fair Haven student charged in assaultsApril 17,2014A 17-year-old Fair Haven High School student is facing criminal charges for sexually assaulting one teenage girl and assaulting another.
Robert W. Richardson, of Castleton, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court this month to a felony charge of sexually assaulting a victim under the age of 16 and a misdemeanor count of domestic assault against another girl.
Richardson, who appeared in court on citations, remains free on court ordered conditions that include that he have no unsupervised contact with females under the age of 16 and that he abide by all restrictions placed on him by the FHUHS principal.
In affidavits written by Fair Haven Police and an investigator with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, police say Richardson sexually assaulted one girl last summer and both verbally and physically abused another during the fall.
One of the girls told police that Richardson referred to her as his "property" and he could do with her what he wanted.
If convicted of both charges, Richardson faces up to 21 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In 2010/2011 I would be driving down the road and my vehicle would stall and flash "Check Electronic Throttle Control", I would have to navigate to the side of the road and with the engine off, put the vehicle in park, completely turn off the ignition and turn over. Once I turned over initially it will not start, but on the second attempt the vehicle starts and drives normally until the next unexpected stall and repeat the same process. This was occurring approximately once every week.
In early 2011 after researching online and filing a report through the NHTSA and complaints to the Ford Motor Company I only received information indicating that I need to replace my Electronic Throttle Control and would cost around $600 to do so.
This is a known problem for this vehicle and posses a high risk to drivers safety although nobody is taking any action on this issue.
After getting no resolve from NHTSA or Ford Motor Company I was forced to fork out over $600 to have my Electronic Throttle Control replaced and fortunately I have had no issues since. My concern is there are reports that indicate some owners have had this re-occur and having to replace the component again.

What's the Ripoff?
AUTHOR: Ken - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, January 23, 2013
If it did, you may have a case.
The new part you have installed likely carries a warranty, but if you got eight years out of the original part, you'll likely have sold/traded your '05 before that time.
How many miles do you have on this eight year old vehicle? Probably at least 80,000.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Act on Energy is a registered charity, number 1075679 and registered in England and Wales, company number 3621022
Many homes in the UK are not adequately heated or have systems which are not up to date or modernised to be more energy efficient. The government has put in place legislation which ensures that any new gas boilers which need to be installed must be high efficiency because they will use less energy and save money on your fuel bills.
All previous grants for boiler replacement have been replaced by The Green Deal & ECO schemes.
You may be entitled to help with replacing your boiler if the following applies:
In most cases the customer will have to make a contribution towards the cost of works.
Boiler Grants are non-repayable, this means you do not have to pay any money back at any time. There are no complicated terms and conditions. If you qualify for a boiler grant, you can have one installed along with new heating controls (where necessary). The amount of funding you get is determined by the efficiency of your home, so an energy assessment will be carried out free of charge. In most cases a small contribution will be required.

First Data never sent me notification in advance of needing a terminal replacement and due to the inability to accept credit card my business lost several thousand dollars worth of sales. This is a very small locally owned retail business and this has greatly affected our operation financially. First Data showed no concern or any attempt to remedy the situation and even resorted to hanging up on me several times and transferring me over to answering machines. I spent 6 hours on the phone with them trying to get the problem resolved and ended up just switching to another company.
I began thinking that I may have to resort to a lawsuit in order to recover damages I set up my phone recorded and called them back. Immediately, I told them that I was recording and they transferred me directly to the legal department who essentially told me that everything was my fault, they were not going to remedy the problem, and that they didn't wish to speak anymore.
I would not recommend this company to anyone.

First Data attempts to "fix" the problem!
AUTHOR: musicman4283 - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 30, 2012POSTED: Friday, March 30, 2012
After several attempts to get me to retain their services she gave up and decided to start with what I can only describe as intimidation and blackmail. I was told that if I canceled my account that they would charge me a $500 cancellation fee (even though I am no longer under contract as of almost 2 years ago). I said that I would not cancel the account, but that I simply wouldn't process any more cards thru it. She then told me that they would cancel it for me and then assess the fee. I told her that this is just another example of First Data using their corporate might to bully around small businesses and that if they wanted to find a way to bill me for cancellation of the account then that is their decision but that I would not act in the same underhanded way that they do and that I would be happy to pay to get them to leave me alone at this point.
I hate large corporations like this. Once again, I cannot stress strongly enough to other business owners to no use First Data for your merchant services.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

My terminal is only about 10 years only and First Data told me themselves that it had reached End of Life and that it was incapable of being updated and used anymore. I suspect this may be lie in order to get $500 for a new terminal. The part that you conveniently left out about voice authorizations is that if I call First Data to do a voice authorization then at a later date all of the voice authorizations must be processed thru a terminal in order for me to actually collect the money. Considering that in my initial report I stated that I have already contracted with another company and no longer do business with First Data, do you think that I am gonna buy another terminal from first data just so that I can process a few days worth of voice authorizations?
The only smoke signal here is the one that you have lit indicating that you work for First Data! This type of behavior is typical of giant corporations. I am sure that First Data has a whole division of employees whos only job is to troll around on the Internet and try to cover up their failures. You blanket denial of my case only further illustrates the inconsiderate attitude of First Data and increases my resolve to spread the word to other businesses that they should not use First Data.
Sorry First Data! You have failed again.

If I send them $14.87 by cash, check money order, or credit card, they say that I will receive an equal share in any proceeds ($15,000,000.00)that will be received into the Trust Fund after all proceeds have been calculated and have been finalized for distribution.
A lot of the words are spelled incorrectly and other parts of the letter are questionable. I have received this type of letter several times before. Please do not comply with these people. They are such a ripoff.
I will be forwarding this letter to the FBI.
Thank you,

The system that they presented to me as priced by them was extremely expensive. The Simon XTI unit according to them costs $449 but if you check it out online you can get the exact same model for $119. That was only after looking around for a minute or so did I find that price. But anyway...I digress. I agreed to the terms and conditions. At the time I thought it was a good idea.
The installer was in my home within 5 minutes of my signing of the contract and she too was professional and courteous. As far as I was concerned at that point, I was happy with my purchase. I wasn't in the market for a security system but I honestly felt good about it. The sales reps made me feel comfortable and everyone I spoke with on the phone was
professional. Then after the installer was finished, she cleaned up her mess and took off. at around 11:00pm (Which in hindsight bothers the crap out of me). I played around with the system for a bit and off to bed I went.
Late that night there was a thunderstorm. My wife left her windows down in her car. She went out through the garage door to roll up the windows. As the garage door opens I hear..."Beep Beep Garage Door Open" and I think to myself, oh crap, I really just spend $3,000 on an alarm system that I did not need. Back to sleep.
I went to work the next day and my $3,000 impulse buy was nagging at me all day. When I got home I asked my wife if she wanted me to show her how to work the alarm, she replied with "Oh, about that alarm....". Right there I knew where she was headed.
20 minutes later I was on the phone with Pinnacle Security LLC in Utah. I want to cancel, I have buyers remorse. I told them I am exercising my right to cancel and I had 5 days to do it. Well as it turns out...you really only get 3 days. Strike one against the sales rep. The person on the other end says if you want to cancel you must fill out the notice
of cancellation and fax it over. It is at the bottom of the contract. I glance down, verify its existence, and notice that the date I had to turn this in by is illegible, but the month says July. I bought the system on July 30th, how can 3 days added to July 30th still equal July. Strike 2. Now I am concerned that if they do not receive the fax tonight, July 31st, then I am SOL. I find a Fed Ex Kinkos nearby, fax the form over, and immediately call them back. Success they have received the form! After some more attempts to get me to stay, the employee tells me that the person who will do the install can't make it out
until 8/8/12. I say funny, as I was driving to Fed Ex Kinkos, I noticed the same individuals walking around the neighborhood again. Apparently there are many in need of security systems here. So I say why can't you just send them over to pick it up. Well, I guess that is not how it works. Going in, yes, coming out, no. So I agree to the date.
I get home and proceed to uninstall the system myself. I bag it all up nicely and place it in a very convenient spot so that when the person removing the system comes, I can hand them a bag O' stuff, sign some paperwork and chalk
it all up to a poor decision on my part.
The next day (August 1st). Business day 2 for those of you keeping track. I get a call on my cell phone while at work. Caller ID says Florida. I reluctantly answer. It is Devcon Security and they just want to make sure that my issue was resolved. My IS (Image Sensor) wasn't working properly the day after the install so I contacted their support staff to get it fixed. This was before buyers remorse had truly set in. I tell the gentleman that I had actually already cancelled. I faxed in my
notice of cancellation and confirmed it was received. He is very sorry to hear this. He asks is there anything they can do to keep my business. I politely tell him no and the conversation ends. 30 seconds later. Devcon calling. Same guy. He wants to tell me about the best offer he can do. I originally signed for 58 months at 50.88 per month. Last night they were willing to do 43.XX per month for 58 months. Today the offer is 34.XX for 30 months. Almost worth it. I concede that this is actually a fair deal. That comes out to 1020 and for all of the equipment that they gave me, if I were to buy that on
my own (at the prices on Amazon, not on their invoice) they would only get about 400 in profit. However, I am not in the market for a security system.
The reason why I am writing this is because I hope this turns out well. I gave the salesperson a voided check to perform an EFT on my bank account for about 150. I have already cancelled so I don't think it should go through, but if it does, so be it. I will wait my 10 days for the refund as stated on the contract and if I do not get it, I will dispute the transaction with my financial institution. I sort of just want this documented. As I write this, I am going into day 3 of my cancellation
period. Oh by the way you get a discount from your homeowners insurance. I have USAA. I called them the morning after I had the system installed and they told me I do in fact get discount, but it is only 12 a year. I told them wait, I thought it was 20% of my total yearly amount. They say it is...but it is 20% of the risk for theft and fire which only amounts to $12 a year.
So the moral of the story is, look at the contract better than I did. I should have caught the 3 days vs. the 5 days that the salesperson told me that I had to cancel. If you do sign, maybe you should set up a date to have them install the system and not have them do it on the spot, that way you have some time to think about it. Now I have holes in my doors and walls.
Nothing that a little patchwork can't fix, but still annoying. Make sure what the salesperson writes on the contract is legible. Make sure that you call the salesperson out on the price of the equipment. Drag your laptop or whatever over to him or her and take your internet to Amazon.com and show him the true price of the system and then tell him that since they buy in
bulk they are paying even less than that. Also, they will go down to 34 and some change per month and 30 months. You do not need to sign for 58 months and 50.88 per month. Please do not make the same mistake I did. You should not feel bad if you can't afford to pay that much. But most importantly, ask yourself if a new security system is something you truly need.
I will update this if they screw me over, but so far it has just been my fault for getting suckered into buying something for "free" that I didn't need.

Equipment is gone
AUTHOR: jayhmbn - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 08, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, August 08, 2012
Anyway, they came and got their equipment as agreed upon. It appears that this ordeal is done and over. Unless something outrageous happens, I am done updating.
Overall, my experience with them was not as bad as others have seem to be. I believe that they are a legit company but having said that, they did try to trip me up on the amount of days I had to cancel the contract without penalty. As I said before, just be extra cautious when dealing with their sales representatives and do not go along with their first offer. Or, just accept it and then call customer service the next day and get the non rip off price.
By the way, they never did process the EFT. It has been 9 days now and the equipment is out of my house. If it goes through at this point, I will just report it to my bank as a fraudulent charge, but I am not really worried about it anymore.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

For whatever reason I am unable to do a report update so I am just going to place it in the rebuttal.
I got an email this morning welcoming me to DevCon. Seems a little strange since I cancelled on July 31st. Also seems strange because they are tasked to provide 24 hour security monitoring but they are apparently incapable of keeping track of who does and who does not have a contract with them.
They have not processed the EFT yet but this most recent email provides me with reason to believe that they just haven't gotten around to it yet.

1967 Pontiac Tempest GTO news, pictures, specifications, and information
The 1967 model year featured only minor styling changes for the 1967 GTO, as compared to the 1966 model, mostly in the front grill and tail lights. However, a GM corporate wide mandate prohibited multi-carburetor engines, except for the Corvette, so the Tri-Power was no longer available. Good news arrived in the form of a 400 cubic inch motor, a bored out version of the 389. Dramatic new Rally II wheel appeared and a new 3-speed automatic transmission resulted in a major increase in sales of automatic transmission-equipped cars. The 1967 GTO is considered by many GTO enthusiasts to be the 'Best looking' and most desirable of all GTOs. Also, in 1967 the Monkees TV show featured a 1967 GTO, the famed 'Monkeemobile' which resulted in major exposure for the car. The car seen here is an original red on red, 4-speed GTO. It currently has a set of very rare and unique Crager mags that were only produced one year, in 1967, but a set of the original wheels do come with the car.
Hardtop Coupe
The larger body Tempest was introduced in 1964. Ad man, Jim Wangers, came up with the idea of offering a package option consisting of a floor shift, 389 big V8, quick steering, stiffer suspension, dual exhaust, premium tires, GTO badge, chrome accents, and the GTO was launched. The engineers of the GTO were John DeLorean and Pete Estes. The GTO was the first midsize production car to use a big V8 motor; some say it was the 'godfather of the Muscle Car'. This GTO has a 360 hp, 400 cubic-inch engine, 4-speed, and factory headers.
The owner's brother purchased this car from its original owner with the intention of restoring it. His life was cut short and the current owner restored the GTO that they both loved, over a 25 year period.
Hardtop Coupe
This Fathom Blue (Pontiac only color) GTO, has push button AM radio, power antenna (rare option), Rally wheels, red line tires, Rally gauges, and heavy duty suspension. It is one of 3,300 400 cubic-inch, 360 horsepower output, 4-speed transmission, with California emissions. The current owners are the fourth owner of this car. It was awarded Best of Show at the July 2006 Richmond Hill Show, Best General Motors at October 2007 Hardeeville Show, Best Muscle Car at October 2007 Tybee Island show, Best of Show at the July 2005 JC Lewis Show.
In August of 1967, the current owner's brother placed a ten-dollar deposit at the dealership to hold this Pontiac GTO. The family still owns this car, including the original paperwork and manuals.
The 1967 Pontiac GTO featured new styling with full car-width trim along the center grille divider dipping midpoint, slightly revised body side accent moldings and new taillights. Standard features included front foam seat cushions, walnut grain dash inserts and redline or whitewall tires. According to the owner, a rare option is the matching interior and exterior Signet Gold color.
Standard heavy-duty shocks, springs and stabilizer bars and dual exhausts enhanced the 1967 Pontiac GTO. It is powered by a 335 horsepower, 400 cubic-inch Pontiac V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor-plus a four-speed Hurst transmission.
Chassis Num:
This car was finished on November 10, 1966 and was shipped new to Seifert Pontiac in Denver, Colorado. The car was finished in 'Special Paint' (Code #1) of Tiger Gold. It was a contest winning car for a marketing scheme to attract young male buyers. Jim Wangers, Pontiac's advertising man and marketer behind the GTO project, approached the Melville Shoe Company - makers of the Thom McAn brand - with an idea for a campaign that would help increase sales for both parties involved. Ads were printed proclaiming 'Thom McAn is giving away a $4,100 car just to get you to look at a $10.99 shoe.' A coupon was included in the ad, which could only be submitted in person at a Thorn McAn store. One car was to be awarded for each U.S. state, each finished in Tiger Gold. By the time the contest ended, however, the '66 model year was over and winners were instead given vouchers for the value of the '66 GTO to apply to a new '67 Pontiac.
The contest was a success, and Pontiac arranged for a second contest to give away about 22 GTOs for 1967.
This car was won by a lady from Colorado who found the car a little overwhelming, and therefore traded it in at Denver's Porter Pontiac for one more suited to her needs. Rito Vargas became the cars next owner, and would remain with him for many years. It was later stolen but recovered in 1979. After that, it was left, exposed to the elements with engine damage.
Bryan Stumbaugh discovered the car in 1992 in a salvage yard. He purchased the car and began a restoration throughout his college years, rebuilding the original WS-code 360 horsepower 400 cubic-inch H.O. motor, which needed a sleeved cylinder, crankshaft, two rods, windage tray and oil pan. He later discovered that this was a Thom McAn GTO. As a result, he decided to completely restore the car; the work was completed in 2005. Upon completion, it was featured on the cover of High Performance Pontiac in December 2007.
As per factory specifications, the car comes equipped with AM radio, door edge guards, Rally I wheels, custom sport steering wheel, electric clock, power front disc brakes, red inner fender, wood shift knob, Ride & Handling Package, front and rear mats, F70X14 redline tires, Safe-T-Track, four-speed transmission and, of course, the H.O. 400 V8 with a dealer-installed hood tachometer.
In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' event presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $120,000 - $140,000. As bidding came to a close, the high bid of $80,000 was not enough to satisfy its reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.

Hardtop Coupe
This was the third year for the Pontiac GTO, which had become one of the most popular automobiles in America by the late 1960's. The GTO was based on Pontiac's LeMans series.
Power is supplied by a Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V-8 that develops 350 horsepower. Special GTO equipment included three-speed gearbox, sports-type springs and shock absorbers, Deluxe steering wheel and choice of bucket or notchback seats.
Ownership of the car from new has been documented by the current owner, who stays in contact with the car's original owner. The current owner has all documentation on this car, including the original window sticker and build sheet.
After a hugely successful 1966 for the GTO, Pontiac decided to avoid major changes for 1967. With mild styling upgrades, the biggest news would be under the hood. With four different 400 cubic-inch V8 engine options, the GTO could be built to suit the needs of nearly anyone.
With pressure from the conservative General Motors management team and strict orders to avoid anything that 'promoted aggressive driving,' the Tiger would be a bit less visible and the GTO would become The Great One. More creative marketing would assure that the GTO would maintain its status as the best-selling muscle car of the year.
This Regimental Red GTO was purchased new directly from the Pontiac retail store in Pontiac, MI. A friend of the current (and only) owner was a Pontiac engineer who told the owner the car was destined for use as a magazine test car. When purchased, the odometer read 49 miles.
From 1967 to 1980 the owner and his wife enjoyed drag racing and cruising in this GTO, racking up just 11,000 miles. After long-term storage, the decision was made to restore the car to its original glory. The owner also enjoyed collecting original and new old stock parts, and being the only owner, he knew exactly what he needed to do.
This GTO is believed to be one of just 36 post body coupes built with the Ram Air 360 horsepower engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission.
The Pontiac GTO, in all respects a muscle car, debuted in 1964 and continued until 1974. John Zachary DeLorean, best known for the Delorean automobiles, was the individual who forced the development of the legendary GTO. The vehicle was very successful because it was able to capitalize on a segment of the market that had not been fully realized. Most of the muscle cars during this time were full-size cars. They had large engines, but due to the weight they were usually slow to accelerate. Pontiac offered a combination of 389 cubic-inch engines in their mid-size Tempest line and called it a GTO. The name GTO comes from Ferrari. It means Gran Turismo Omolgato.
The GTO package included the V8 engine, premium tires, special hydraulic lifters, dual exhaust, manual three and four-speed transmission with a Hurst shifter, heavy-duty clutch, improved suspension, a 3.23:1 rear axle ration, dual hood scoops, GTO emblems, and bucket seats. The 389 cubic-inch engine was rated at 325-348 horsepower depending on the configuration and modification of the engine. The 428 ft-lbs of torque was even more astonishing. Placing this mammoth engine in a mid-size sedan created a vehicle that was untouchable. It was available in both the coupe or convertible body styles. Pontiac sold nearly 32,500 GTO's during the first year.
For 1965, the Tempest GTO received cosmetic and mechanical updates. The engine was modified and was now producing between 335 and 360 horsepower with a torque rating at 431 ft-lbs. The headlights of the vehicle were modified; they were now in stacked configuration. The dual hood scoop was replaced with a single hood scoop. Over 75,000 examples were sold in the second year.
A dealer cold air induction kit for the Tri-Power cars helped stimulate sales and increased the horsepower of the vehicle. The induction kit made use of the hood scoop and brought about the Ram Air package.
For 1966, the GTO became its own model. There were styling changes mostly concentrating on the roof and the rear lights. The engines were unchanged, however, during the middle of the year the multi-carburetor setup was no longer offered. The GTO was still more popular than ever, selling 96,946 examples during 1966.
In 1967, a new 400 cubic-inch engine was introduced. The horsepower rating was between 255 and 360 horsepower depending on the configuration. The torque rating was between 397 and 438 ft-lbs. Minor styling changes occurred, mainly the grill and the rear of the vehicle. During the 1967 model year, nearly 82,000 GTO's were sold.
In 1968, the wheel base was expanded to 112 inches and now sat atop General Motors split wheelbase A-body. Major styling changes occurred. A rubber bumper, labeled the Endura, adorned the front of the car. Hidden headlights were optional equipment. The engine choices remained the same but the horsepower and torque was increased. The 440 was not producing between 265 and 360 horsepower while the torque ranged from 397 through 445 ft-lbs.
In 1969, the competition was becoming fierce. To compete, Pontiac offered a package on the GTO that included body paint, rear spoiler, decals, and a 366 horsepower, Ram Air III V8. A Ram IV V8 could also be purchased, increasing the horsepower rating to 370. Still a very successful year for Pontiac, there were more than 72,000 GTO's sold.
In 1970, the GTO once again received styling changes. There were now four exposed headlamps. The rear engine was
redesigned and the body received new creases. The base engine was dropped. A 455 cubic-inch engine was introduced. The 400 cubic-inch engine produced between 350 and 370 horsepower. The 455 cubic-inch V8 produced between 360 and 500 horsepower. Sales were still strong, but dropping. A little more than 40,000 GTO's were sold.
In 1971, sales continued to drop. Only about 10,000 were sold. GM announced that due to rising emission and safety regulations, compression ratings would have to be reduced and all engines would need to run on unleaded fuel. The horsepower ratings began to decrease. Due to a heavier chassis, introduced a few year prior, and lower horsepower ratings, the vehicle was losing its ability to be competitive. More bad news for the GTO; this was its last year as an independent model. The front end of the vehicle received minor styling updates.
In 1972, the Judge and convertible options were no longer offered. The horsepower ratings continued to go the same direction as the sales figures: down. A little over 5,800 vehicles were sold. The horsepower output was between 250 and 300. The 400 and 455 cubic inch engines were both offered.
In 1973, only 4806 GTO's were sold. The engine horsepower decreased as well, now 230 through 250. Its muscle car status was officially gone.
The 1974 production year was the last for the GTO. It was now an option on the Ventura model line-up. It came as a coupe or a hatchback. A 350 cubic-inch engine was the only one being offered. With a 200 horsepower rating, the car was dying a slow and very painful death. A little over 7000 vehicles were sold with the GTO option.
There were a few reasons for the GTO's decline. The muscle car era was coming to a close - or just being redefined and awaiting a revitalization. Government and safety regulations were becoming more strict. There were tough fuel regulations which severely limited the output of the engines but promoted better fuel economy. Insurance charges increased making these machines out-of-reach for many consumers. The cars became heavier, and heavier. The engine sizes decreased; The cost of ownership increased. The muscle car era was destroyed.
