What a game, Glen's goal was just something else. We seemed to completely dominate till we went 1-0 up, created a couple of chances after then began to feel the WHU pressure. They were all over us and playing so quickly and agressively, it was pretty intense. Mo Diame is a heck of a player, that hammy is going to cost the Hammers big time. The penalty was a bit harsh but I would have been calling it if the other way. Know idea what Stevie was up to for the o.g.!
Joe Cole did really well and it was an important finish, think it will help him attract suitors in January. The Jonjo song and celebration are just brilliant! How was that not a penalty in injury time?! If we ever get one I am sure we will miss it now!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Think its right to break up the game the way you have. The first 20 minutes or so we really did dominate. Out of the traps like a flash and no answer from WHU.
After that, credit to the hammers they muscled their way back into the game. Also got to give credit to Cole who was almost unplayable. I say almost as I've got to give a lot of credit to both our center backs for all but nullifying what was a man on fire.
I do however think they were lucky on the two goals. Can't complain too much, as there is no way we can say we out played them other than the opening 20, but they also did not create that much in terms of clear scoring chances. But then again that is the Alyidice way, it isn't pretty but it works, and credit to them.
But think the biggest thing for me was the character we showed. Yes Johnson's opener was a piece of class, but the fight back showed our steel, which I hope is a turning point for us. I got to give huge credit to Henderson who I think put a bit more muscle in further up the park, as until then we'd been pushed back a bit. Also credit to BR for making the move as taking off Lucas potentially left us exposed with Cole playing so well for them, but he went for the points, and it worked.

Agree, what was with Carlton Cole? He looked quick and very buzzy, I always thought he was whoop, let's hope he doesn't join the list of media 'transfer targets'!
I didn't really praise Hendo much but when he came on he looked very bright and confident, his confidence is definitely on a high, got to credit the manager for that and obviously the lad who has played his way back into the managers reckoning at the expense of his own guy, Nuri Sahin.

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wolfski from A Great Relief Our previous faucet had only been installed for about 6 months in a second home kitchen remodel and was horrible. It swiveled at the base and constantly needed tightening. The soap dispenser was having the same problem and then stopped rising after each pump. I needed a faucet that would function, was close in style to the removed faucet, would interface well with my Farm Sink, didn't block the view through the window, and matched the décor of my rustic/Spanish kitchen. This faucet was the closest style replacement that I could find in this price category. So far, in the month plus that it has been installed, it has been great. The swivel is off of the base, the soap dispenser works well, as does the sprayer. The nozzle is just a little higher than the previous faucet and now I don't hit the dishes as I put them in the sink. The profile of the faucet does not block the view out the window and I cannot see the faucet as I look from the backyard into the kitchen. There is an optional tab with an more rustic looking white hot/cold or an option for matching at the top that comes with the set. Based on the limited experience I have had with this faucet, I would recommend it. It is a great relief to have a dependable and good looking faucet installed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by black69GTO from Marielle 034 kitchen faucet We have owned this faucet for about 5 years now. In that time I have had to replace the soap pump, faucet cartridge, and the diverter for the sprayer, all at my own expense. Now apparently the diverter has gone bad again, but is no longer an available part. I would NOT reccommend this product to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RobFnk from Very nice faucet It is hard to say after a little over a month how well this faucet will hold up but I got tired of rebuilding our Moen faucet so decided to give this one a try. So far we love it. Works very nice and has a quality finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by pblmom from Very nice Nice faucet, well made, feels solid. Very happy with purchase. The sprayer sometimes drips a little after using but if we make sure water has stopped running before placing back in holder it is fine. Not a big deal. Finish is beautiful, even the soap dispenser works perfectly, holds a ton of soap and pumps nicely every time. Overall a very good purchase, was not sure, but pleasantly surprised.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jimdutch2 from sharp looking faucet Slightly small for the size of the sink, but it looks sharp and operates very smoothly. We were used to a combined faucet/pullout system, which makes this one a little less handy, but we are adapting!
Date published: 2011-09-09
Rated 4 out of 5 by Qwendolyn from The faucet is excellent. Beautiful bronze finish and sturdy. The sprayer is also good quality. The soap dispenser only dispenses small amounts of soap so you have to pump it a few times, not a bit deal though.

NOTE: I posted this first to "alt.autos.toyota", but then I saw this group.
The car is a 1993 Toyota Camry with about 173k.
While on a highway trip several months ago, I became aware of vibration that occurs between 40 MPH and 65 MPH. It only occurs when my foot is on the gas. Coasting is no problem.
Lately it's gotten a lot worse, and I think the "vibration band" has widened somewhat.
New tires were put on about 1.5 years ago, and look fairly good. Car was aligned and balanced when the tires where put on.
Prior to leaving for the trip I had the oil and transmission fluids/filters changed.
Any ideas?
I recently moved to a new town, and have yet to find a honest mechanic here. I've been ripped off a couple of times so far... (Asked for some work not to be done, but was done anyway and car held hostage until payment.. etc.)
So before I try someone new, I want to get some other opinions as to what the problem might be.
Replace the tires. Steel belted radials can get bashed out of round if you hit a chuck hole or a curb. For some reason tire shops can't measure this, but replacing the tires cures the problem. Note that high mileage tires are more suseptible to this damage because the rubber is thinner.
Check your axel CVC joints -- are the rubber boots are tornup/split/cracked? Grease all over around one? Outer ones seem to go at 100k miles.

Try telling that to Philip. Everytime I say motor mounts--which was my problem also--he makes some sarcastic remark about it. Oh well, his experience is different and there's nothing wrong with that.

You have YET to tell me how the engine mounts were defective, my friend. :^) Was one or the other actually separated? Was one or the other sagged with rubber missing? Was all the hydraulic fluid missing (if of that particular design)?
Just looking for more information from you. :-)
Don't have it. Weren't my motor mounts. Just a snippet saved from last year where someone found vibration under load at a particular speed correlated to a problem with engine mounts. They didn't say front, rear, transmission, or top, so may be of limited value, but sounded like they resolved a long standing issue by checking there. Frankly, I'm open to suggestions on checking those hidden fluid filled front and rear engine mounts. The upper "dog bone" was replaced by the previous owner and appears sound, but giving some gas to the engine in Drive while observing with foot planted firmly on the service brake resulted in quite a bit of engine movement. No noticeable problems, so not planning any replacement. Thought I saw MDT Tech once mention they tend to be fairly reliable on average.
My vehicle is a 1994 Camry 4 cyl. The symptoms were that when accelerating it would start to shake and wobble from side to side (felt like that) and then smooth out at higher speeds. The tires had been replaced twice and wheels balanced numerous times. I got sick of the constant diagnosis of wheels and tires and exchanged the whole set with my 1997 Camry for a day. The vibration remained with 1994 and I was able to eliminate them. It was then that we had something else to look at and an undercar mechanic showed me the engine moving under acceleration. It didn't take long to decide the motor mount was bad from there.
In my case the front one had separated some time before, I don't know when. When I found that one bad I replaced it with the help of a friend and as we took it out some fluid leaked out. I don't know how much was in there to start with. We looked at the dogbone and the rubber bushing at the top had broken and separated also. Presumably this had happened because of the excess stress of the front one breaking. Eventually I had the rear one replaced by Toyota because I didn't feel capable of handling that one.
Now whether the cause of the vibration was bad mounts or the mounts had gone bad because of vibration, I am unsure. What I do know is that after replacing the front and dogbone the vibration ceased. Hopefully this is enough detail for you to make a proper diagnosis of what the true cause of these reported vibrations are.

Thank you! Curious and obvious question: Did anyone test the motor mounts (brake ON, put car in Reverse then Drive then Reverse under light throttle while watching the engine for excessive movement? Seems not. Also, both side mounts being broken is pretty unusual unless ... you're one of those who rocks the car to get out of snow.
Yes, the engine was observed under load reverse and forward. That is how the diagnosis was made. I am not sure if the firewall side one was broken, but after finding the first two bad I wanted the the third one replaced.
The vibration all started one day 4-5 years ago when accelerating onto a highway. It remained rather minor for years while wheels and tires were checked, but finally became bad enough where the car really couldn't be driven safely. I drove this way for years before finding the cause of this vibration.
This vehicle has lived in Florida, New York and Virginia. It has seen a variety of climates but mostly hot weather.

I just replaced all the tires and got brand new tires. engine mount is new. power steering fluid is new. i also just replaced the brakes and new disk. when i drive over 40mph the steering wheel shakes still.
Thanks to all for the ideas and suggestions.
I will take the car in tomorrow to a new mechanic, I'll let you guys know what he thinks it is.
BTW, if it is the front axels, can a "non mechanic" like me change them myself, or will I need to let the pros do it?
Thanks, David

I think it's a pain to do it if you don't have some mechanical skills, tools and patience. The passenger side is especially difficult.
If coasting doesnt produce the problem, then worn-loose driveshaft CVs (constant velocity joints) maybe it.
One theory is: while accelerating or cruising, there is more plus a reverse force on the CVs compared to coasting and if they are worn they will allow the axle to move out (by even a small amount) of its axial position in relation to the roadwheel hence giving rise to vibration.

I think this would be a good request. Sometimes you want to keep comments that people post but you do not want them to be visible. There is no way of hiding that specific comment w/o deleting it.
There should be like a "visible" check box or something like that, that could hide that particular comment.


text: Just installed this on a client site because the site admin stopped getting notices of comments since WP updated to 3.3. Not sure why. We hope this plug-in will fix that. Will she now get notified of EVERY comment OR only those she comments on? She does have multiple authors. I'm unclear if I need to check ALL the authors in order for them to be notified when they get comments. I'm assuming so. But I don't want to have them all notified of every comment on the site just their own. But I DO want the site admin to be notified of every comment not just the ones she's written or co-authored (which is the majority but not all). Thanks.

Skip to comments.Democrat looking at taxing health benefit
Posted on 03/03/2009 7:52:02 PM PST by anniegetyourgun
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior Senate Democrat said Tuesday he would consider taxing U.S. workers on their employer-sponsored health insurance to help pay for extending coverage to millions of uninsured Americans.
"I think that tax provision should be on the table," said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, who will play a major role in writing the legislation to revamp the U.S. healthcare system as promised by President Barack Obama.
"It's too aggressive. It skews the system," he said of the tax benefit.
(Excerpt) Read more at uk.reuters.com ...
TAX, TAX, TAX and most of Obama's henchpersons don't pay them.
Wasn't this what they accused McPain of proposing?
More stimulus for the non producers. Tax the producers even on the air they breath and give it to the democrat voters, the non producers.
With a whimper...
Be sure and feature that brilliant idea on your campaign posters when you run for your next term, Max. I'm sure the voters in Montana will be impressed.
I think that the government electives should have the same health and retirement that the common folk have. If these SOBâs had to pay for something in their lives then maybe they would not be so willing to raise taxes on us.
Here's how Obammie the Commie pays for his spending. If this passes, overnight, we will all have about 25% added on to our taxable income.
Get ready to 'lock and load' laddies!
Yep. But it probably won't be necessary...if you socialize medicine, the employers will no longer offer group plans. Why should they when they can off it onto the taxpayers via government.
People of Montana, wake up.
What the hell's wrong with you?
From the producers to the parasites. I'm so proud to do my patriotic duty and keep forking over more and more and more.
Of course, this would have the effect of encouraging millions to abandon employer provided plans and sign up for the "free" gubment health care.
The USS Radical Agenda is proceeding at flank speed.
Why would an employer offer health care to his employees? Is this the way they intend to get everyone into the Government system?
Since it appears most of those left with lucrative retirement pensions and heath benefits are government employees....Go for it.
These guys are bound and determined to become the minority party again. The hits just keep on coming.
Take your vitamins and exercise regularly.
In other words, do not get sick, my FRiends.
The sad part is that the Obama idiots will not even know that he is raising their taxes. They will see the drop in take home, and blame their employer and then demand more money. They won't blame the people who are stealing their money.
And above all, don't get old.
Pretty soon, not even working people will be able to afford their mortgages.
We need to tax the Senate and House on the actual cost of the myriad of benefits they receive while we are at it.
Less than 600 people ..... ruining our lives.
They think they are royalty....they think what's ours is theirs.....
I'm sick of the articles saying things like "Obama to give $900 billion to rebuild Gaza"..... NO NO NO..... taxpayers being sapped for $900 billion ......etc.
When does the revolution start???
Didn't the Dems eviscerate McCain for this idea during the campaign?
I think I'll buy a juicer....while I can still afford one.
Obama spent MILLIONS of dollars in the Midwest running Radio ads saying this is what McCAIN wanted to do, and he WOULD NOT....
Yet again, THE MESSIAH HAS LIED!!!!
One more giant step towards revolution. At this point, I hope the fools keep it up. The faster we get this over with the better.
Might as well add garlic to that mix.
Not a chance, once everyone is dependent upon the Dems for everything. The deluded electorate we already have will never vote for the GOP because they'll be told by the DEMS that the GOP wants to take it all away.....see social security flaps of the past.
I've been paying for my own insurance with after-tax money for years.
Always been a thorn in my side that some folks get a huge cash benefit, worth several thousand of dollars per year, completely tax free.
I also understand that Obama wants to do away with my HSA and the few tax dollars I save from that.
This is going to be a hoot.
The concept of employer-paid health insurance as a benefit of employment developed during the Second World War, when wages were frozed by executive order, so as to prevent a bidding war between employers fighting for the same pool of workers to put to work in war industries. Since the corporate managers were denied the right to offer higher wages as an incentive for badly needed workers, they turned to pensions, health and life insurance as non-wage incentives. Unions took advantage of this provision, and negotiated HUGE packages, to the degree that employers were forced to take over the whole cost of the insurance programs offered, and the arrangement was continued after the war emergency was over. Thus health benefits became tied to employment status, with the employee taking no responsibility whatsoever for protecting his own access to health services, a situation which was endorsed most heartily by the unions and their representatives in elective legislatures.
A crisis is a terrible thing to waste. Take advantage of every one that comes up.
Because it wasn't taxed as income it became a benefit provided by business. Frankly is should be taxed the same as income (from the employer's prospective). It is a loophole that has screwed up the entire health care system. Instead of health insurance being between the customer/payer and the provider it is between the employer and the insurance company with the provider and "customer" in the middle of never never land. If people purchased health insurance directly it would be portable, as in travel with them, regardless of where or if they are employed. The insurance companies would also have to please you instead of your employer which have different interests at stake. The insurance companies could also reward those individuals that use it less saving them money. Anything that the direct user of pays only a fraction of gets over used which increases the costs to everyone.
And if the government wants you to get health insurance they can make it tax deductible for the individual taking your employer out of the equation.
Fire away...
Very good points. I may be in a very small minority here, but I have always believed that an employer-paid medical insurance plan should be treated no differently under the U.S. tax code than a cash bonus, a company car provided for personal use, etc.
Health insurance should be between the insurance company and you, not your employer. The government has thrown the health care market out of whack via the tax code.
It appears that we agree.
For most of us our tax deduction would be as great as the taxable benefit, so it was a wash.
What Baucus proposes is simply taxing existing benefits with no tax deduction to offset the inequity.
These guys are trying to get blood out of turnips though ~ the Obama Depression has wiped out whatever income people might have to pay for these risky schemes.
Hmmmm....if this comes to pass, shouldn't we have the option of voluntarily electing to forfeit our now taxed employer provided health insurance.....and go get it free like all the non-producers?
Actually, seems those getting free health care should be taxed for its value....
Remember, there were wage and price controls and a company couldn't just offer higher wages as an inducement ~ so health insurance was used.
Without this system we'd lost the war and you'd be in concentration camps where all the guards would be Democrat politicians.
Just like today!
Wage and price controls made a mess that we are still living with today.
Remember, the Democrats ran that war and they imposed their own peculiar ideas of what motivates people on friend and foe alike. Basically the Democrat theory was that American workers, given their heads, would crap on the country for a few bucks, just like the rich guys who hung around FDR.
Oh yeah, that'll fix it. Ballooning health insurance costs, hours down, pay down, add more expense to the mix. Brilliant!
I interpreted "Without this system we'd lost the war ..." to include how untaxed health insurance came about - price and wage controls. Meaning the root of health insurance provided by employers was due to government interference in the markets. I don't think I misread that. Now I definitely could have misinterpreted any intended sarcasm in what you said.
Not soon enough I'm afraid
In some states employers are mandated to pay for health insurance of its employees (Hawaii for example).
Another regressive tax out of the democrats.
Yes, and with the added benefit of keeping werewolves away!
The birth of Kaiser Permanente (for example)....

AbstractWe discuss a special class of generalized divergence measures by the use of generator functions. Any divergence measure in the class is separated into the difference between cross and diagonal entropy. The diagonal entropy measure in the class associates with a model of maximum entropy distributions; the divergence measure leads to statistical estimation via minimization, for arbitrarily giving a statistical model. The dualistic relationship between the maximum entropy model and the minimum divergence estimation is explored in the framework of information geometry. The model of maximum entropy distributions is characterized to be totally geodesic with respect to the linear connection associated with the divergence. A natural extension for the classical theory for the maximum likelihood method under the maximum entropy model in terms of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy is given. We discuss the duality in detail for Tsallis entropy as a typical example.

Assuming the old adage about defense and championships holds true for soccer, Hendersonville looks like a decent bet to bring back the school's first NCHSAA soccer title this week.
Three straight 1-A playoff shutouts have the second-ranked Bearcats (18-4-1) in the state semifinals for the second time ever and the first since 1989. The winner of tonight's match at third-ranked Monroe (18-4-0) will play for the 1-A championship Saturday against Dixon.
"The key has been clearing the ball and playing as a team back there," said Hendersonville coach Freddy Oveido. "They don't get frustrated when they make a mistake and also our keeper -- he's making some great saves late in games."
Will Patrick collected his ninth shutout of the season in Saturday's twice-delayed third-round victory against Albemarle. Kyle Stuller assisted on all four goals in Hendersonville's 4-0 victory.
"He was all over the midfield," Oveido said. "He was distributing the ball to our guys. He should have had more assists but we didn't finish very well early."
Four different Bearcats -- Colin Michaels, Kyle Hall, Beck Miller and Jordan Gilliam -- scored against Albemarle. Absent from that list are Hendersonville's top-two scorers Brayan Aguierre (34 goals, 18 assists) and Ahmad Jarrar (25 goals and 13 assists).
"We're going to have to score early on against (Monroe) and finish our shots in the first half," Oveido said.
Hendersonville will also have to adjust to a turf field, which may speed up the play if the rain forecast holds true.
"The ball can skid and go faster," Oveido said. "We can't let the ball hit the ground, have one-touch clears and be ready for the fast ball if it does hit the ground."
The start of tonight's match was pushed back to 6:30 p.m.

Moscow, we have a problem.
In July, Russian scientists admitted there was a satellite full of geckos having sex hurtling around the Earth at 17,000mph.
Foton-M4 was launched with the aim of observing the mating activities of certain species in zero-gravity conditions, but the excellently-named Russian Institute of Biomedical Problems lost control of the satellite.
However, communication with the satellite was successfully restored and after a six-week mission the biological capsule containing five geckos (four females and one male), fruit flies and silkworm eggs returned to Earth - landing in the Orenburg region of Russia.
Cue fevered celebrations, with Russia's deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin reflecting the mood of the nation by tweeting:
"Foton-M" Satellite and its joyful crew have returned to the Earth) pic.twitter.com/6hs3vMxtQN— Dmitry Rogozin (@DRogozin) September 1, 2014
An infamous "sex" #gecko from #FotonM4 mission. No word yet on the fate of animals or other experiments after landing pic.twitter.com/fPIDV1Lfd3— Anatoly Zak (@RussianSpaceWeb) September 1, 2014
But within hours it had all changed, and suddenly everything had turned to ash.
CONFIRMED: All geckos on Russian Foton-M4 sat found dead upon Earth touchdown; details soon http://t.co/tZZZ3YIP1M pic.twitter.com/oCYgVA6P4H— RT (@RT_com) September 1, 2014
Confirmed with Roscosmos: all of the Russian sex geckos are dead.— Matthew Bodner (@mattb0401) September 1, 2014
Roscosmos (Russia's Federal Space Agency) confirmed in a statement (first issued in Russian) that the geckos had died, with unspecified experts set to determine how and why. It is thought they died upon impact, but it's not clear what led to initial reports they had all survived.
Five geckos may have travelled into space, but scientists said they had expected more geckos to emerge from the satellite.
At least they died doing what they loved.

From fillet tailing gloves and tools to fishing rods, we've got the equipment that every fisherman should have to make the biggest catch.
You've probably seen people driving around with bumper stickers that say things like "I'd rather be fishing," or "Work is for people who don't know how to fish." If you've decided to cast a line into the world of fishing, you'll need the right tools. We're here to help with answers to your most common questions about choosing the perfect fishing gear.
Start with a good fishing rod and reel, which you can purchase together as a set or separately. The two main types of reels are baitcasting (a classic design that's extremely durable) and spinning (a newer type of design that's easier to use for most newcomers to the sport). The fishing line is also key -- fishing lines feature ratings based on the amount of weight they can handle before snapping.
Next you'll need something that'll tempt the fish you're trying to catch. There are many types of bait (like worms or dough balls), as well as flies and lures (artificial items that look like bugs).
An essential tool that can be easily missed by novices is a pair of needlenose pliers. Whether you're tying knots to attach your hook or getting a fish off the hook you'll be thankful you've got one of these tools handy.
Fishing is usually an all-day activity so you'll want to make sure you're properly attired for the elements. Waterproof overalls, outdoor clothing, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat will help you stay comfy while you wait for your next bite.
If you're really serious about gearing up for a day out on the lake you'll want to invest in a good tackle box to hold the hooks, bobbers, sinkers, flies, lures, and other tools. Drinking water and snacks will allow you to stay out on the water longer, and insect repellent can help keep those nasty mosquitos and biting flies away.
You might start fishing off a dock or while standing in river, or you can head out onto the lake with the help of an inflatable boat.

Non Nikon Parts/Accessories - Problem?
I posted on here the other day with regards to a non-branded flash for a D3100. I have been searching eBay for accessories/gadgets and came across many items like '52mm 0.45X Wide Angle Lens' for £11 posted.
Will using aftermarket parts harm the camera in anyway? I know people always advise against using anything other then genuine or well known alternative brands but if it does the job its ok right?
Thank-you in advance fellow Nikonians
#1. "RE: Non Nikon Parts/Accessories - Problem?" | In response to Reply # 0aolander Nikonian since 15th Sep 2006Thu 25-Aug-11 10:06 AM
It depends on the "part" or accessory, but the screw on wide angle lens accessory can't really harm anything since it just screws on the lens like a filter. The image quality with the "0.45X wide angle lens" probably won't be very good, however.
#2. "RE: Non Nikon Parts/Accessories - Problem?" | In response to Reply # 0blw Nikonian since 18th Jun 2004Thu 25-Aug-11 10:33 AM
There definitely exist some parts that would harm a camera - the high trigger voltages that were mentioned in your other thread are very real-world examples. Note however that even a few of the oldest Nikon flashes fall into this category, while modern iTTL compatible flashes of all known brands are perfectly safe. (The most notorious example of high trigger voltages is the *OLD* version of the Vivitar 283, a *very* common unit.)
On the other hand, most things like filters, battery grips, cable releases, lenses etc are just fine as far as not damanging anything. Like anything else, you just need to know what's going on.

Installation date was 12-12-11 first tech showed up saw the job and decided it was too much for him and left. 2 days later another tech showed up, did the install and after 3 hours left.
Later that night we had a family night and all sat down to watch TV only to discover the TV is now broken. I looked behind the TV and there is broken plastic from the back of the TV laying on the TV stand and there is a box that was origionally INSIDE of the TV is now hanging out of the TV with broken wires and the u-verse cable is attached to the box hanging out of my TV. In addition the DVR's in the bedrooms didnt work. I called AT&T immediatly, and the nightmare began.
On 12-28-11, 15 days after the install, the new DVR finally arrived in the mail for ME to install in the bedrooms so we can at least watch TV in there. after 2 to 3 calls a week all averaging 1 to 2 hours being switched back and forth thur departments, and lots of complaints because I still had a broken TV in the living room.
AT&T decided to send out someone to look at my TV. He arrived 1-13-12, 31 days after the install. Turns out, he was only the manager for the tech that was at my house. Of course he is there to cover his behind and his tech. He proceeded to take many pictures with his cell phone of my TV and then sat there turning it off and on 20 or 30 times. I asked him what he was doing and he said... "Im trying to get that white line it is making with my cell phone. I knew right then I was in for a long drawn out fight with AT&T. Just as I suspected, 2 days later I learn that the manager that was at my house decided it was not AT&T's fault and my claim was denied. ARE U KIDDING ME???
I had a perfectly fine working TV never had 1 problem with it, and the very same day AT&T was here doing an install all of a sudden I now have a broken TV with broken plastic and stuff hanging out of the back of the TV and they want to convince me they didnt do it? then they send me a bill in the mail for 240.00 saying I have to pay for a month in advance for service Im not getting. HUH?
Today is 1-20-12. It has been 38 days since AT&T was in my home, 38 days with no TV in the living room, 38 days of calls and complaints that are getting me no where, 38 days of grief, 38 days of being forced to watch TV in our bedrooms, 38 days of no more family nights watching movies together.
I even went directly to the corporate head quarters. they gave me a case number and said someone would call me with in 48 hours. That was 7 days ago. No one has yet to contact me from there either. I made 3 phone calls in the last 7 days to corporate offices and still nothing. I just keep getting the same message, from the same lady.... HE GOT YOUR MESSAGE HE WILL CALL YOU. When?? next month? next year?
I havent had service since you were in my home yet you are expecting me to pay for this service?? really??? Im getting myself a lawyer, Im going to go to the TV news stations, and Im going to get results one way or another. I want my TV in the living room fixed. PUT IT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE YOU WALKED IN MY FRONT DOOR. Anyone know a good lawyer send him my way please

THE MEDIA BUSINESS; So, Who's Your Daddy? In DNA Tests, TV Finds Elixir to Raise Ratings
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY
Published: March 19, 2002
''Tony,'' the talk show host Maury Povich intones, his voice taut with suspense, ''is not the father!'' The young man leaps up and bounds across the stage like a contestant who has just won a car. His former girlfriend Latoya flees the stage in tears, crushed that the DNA test did not prove that Tony was the father of her 4-month-old girl.
DNA paternity tests are increasingly popular with viewers, which is the main reason Mr. Povich, Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake, Montel Williams and other talk-show hosts promote them especially hard during sweeps months, the periods when advertising rates are set. Sweeps or not, on any given day, at least one talk-show host announces DNA results on the air before a studio audience that boos or cheers. DNA paternity testing has displaced wild-teen boot camp and infidelity lie-detector tests as the hottest genre on daytime television.
New viewers may find paternity shows arresting and odd -- a cross between a television game show and a PBS documentary on the disintegration of American families. Perhaps jaded by a steady diet of husbands who seduce their wives' sisters, daytime television habitués appear to be fascinated by DNA testing's mix of sex and science-based retribution.
''These are classic themes of betrayal, revenge, truth and the search for resolution,'' Mr. Povich said.
Amy Rosenblum, the show's executive producer, added: ''And it has a game-show element.''
DNA paternity tests are unquestionably effective as entertainment. The ratings for ''Maury,'' ranked third in daytime talk shows behind ''Oprah'' and ''Regis and Kelly,'' rise an average of 6 percent when paternity tests are featured. One day last month, the ratings for a ''Ricki Lake'' show featuring paternity tests rose 15 percent over the previous day's show, about liars.
''It gives me no pause to put the issue of paternity and child support on the air,'' said Michael Rourke, executive producer of ''Ricki Lake.'' ''In this society, we can't talk about it enough.''
Paternity testing began showing up on talk shows in the late 1990's, soon after DNA tests were marketed commercially. DNA tests have long been a staple of true crime shows, courtroom dramas and news magazines like ''Dateline NBC'' and ABC's ''20/20.''
Almost all the daytime court shows, from ''Divorce Court'' to ''Judge Hatchett,'' weave DNA tests of all kinds into their scripts. This season, DNA tests provide plot twists for the sitcoms ''Friends'' and ''Ally McBeal.''
And television keeps finding new ways to put molecular biology to the service of entertainment. This summer, the producer Arnold Shapiro (CBS's reality show ''Big Brother'') plans to deliver to CBS a DNA testing special, a two-part reality show in which convicted murderers and rapists who say they are not guilty are given DNA tests.
''It's the most life-altering thing you can do on television,'' explained Ricki Lake, who has done scores of paternity tests on her talk show. ''It's so final. Lie detectors are not foolproof.''
Neither are vasectomies. A recent show on ''Montel Williams'' featured a man whose wife became pregnant after he had the surgery. Perhaps not surprisingly, given that most studies show that vasectomies are 97 to 99 percent effective, he had trouble believing his wife had remained faithful. The show's DNA test -- ''99.99 percent accurate,'' according to Mr. Williams -- proved that he was indeed the father.
Talk shows seemed to reach a nadir in the mid-1990's, when a guest on the ''Jenny Jones'' show killed another guest three days after their taping (the show was never broadcast). Public concern about ''trash TV'' was so heated that it was even debated in Congress.
The country has moved on, but the shows are still there, with some adjustments. Fistfights are less frequent. Surprise is a critical ingredient to a successful DNA paternity show, but producers say they carefully prepare guests for the possibility of bad news, and eliminate applicants who do not seem stable enough. Guests are coached to express their feelings fully, but limit the violence to shoving. (Ever since the ''Jenny Jones'' shooting, Mr. Povich said, he gives guests a list of 10 possible secrets a spouse or child might reveal on the show.)
Many shows try to balance voyeuristic thrills with a public service message. ''A lesson can be learned here,'' Jenny Jones recently told a teenage father cursing the positive results of his DNA paternity test. ''It's very easy to put on a condom and not be on a show like this.''
The talk shows recruit guests with on-air pitches. ''Are you a young teen mother who needs a DNA test to prove he's your baby's daddy?'' a ''Montel Williams'' ad on the show asked recently.
''If your daughter is 11-14 and you want DNA to determine who fathered her baby, call this number,'' a Jenny Jones ad instructed.
Oprah Winfrey, who markets herself as a class act, does not do paternity test shows. Neither does Jerry Springer, though for a different reason.
''Our show is about outrageous relationships,'' said Linda Shafran, spokeswoman for ''The Jerry Springer Show.'' One recent show featured a psychic stripper who intuited a guest's secret fetish -- wearing diapers.
''Our show is more fun, more crazy,'' Ms. Shafran said. ''Paternity tests are a little more serious than we go.''
