Corporate Advocacy Program™
Oxmoor Toyota has treated me dishonestly at least 5 times. Many other people have had the same experience with Oxmoor Toyota, as reflected in the fact that Oxmoor Toyota has a Better Business Bureau rating of B-minus whereas Toyota of Louisville has a BBB rating of A-plus.
Here is a brief, detailed list of my 5 experiences with Oxmoor Toyotas dishonesty:
1. When I took my 1996 Toyota Tercell to Oxmoor Toyota for repair a couple of years ago, after that repair the woman in the service department gave me a hand-written list of approximately 20 items totaling $2,000 that they said also needed repair. After looking through the list, I informed that woman in the Oxmoor service department that the vast majority of those repairs had already been done at Medley Auto Care down the road within the last 60 days, proving that the list was not honest.
2. On April 3, 2011, my wife and I spent 4 hours at Oxmoor Toyota test-driving cars, discussing financing, and signing papers. The entire time we were surrounded by signs which promised a free BBQ grill to people who buy a car.
After my wife and I signed papers buying a 2009 Toyota Corolla, the salesman suddenly said "no free BBQ grill".
The finance department then claimed that we were not eligible for the free BBQ grill because we had paid the full price that Oxmoor Toyota advertised on its Internet site rather than the higher price that Oxmoor Toyota quotes to customers on its sales lot. There was no such Internet price disclaimer on any of the Oxmoor signs which promised a free BBQ grill to anyone who bought a car.
3. We paid almost $1,300 extra to have our 2009 Toyota Corolla "Certified" on Sunday afternoon, April 3, 2011. "Certified" status claims that the car has gone through a 160-point inspection by a master mechanic. But after we bought the car the right front tire kept going flat, then we discovered that both front tires were completely bald on the inside edges (usually an indication of a serious problem with front-end alignment), with some of the inner tire cord even exposed, creating an extremely dangerous driving hazard in which the front tires could have exploded while driving on the highway.
How could a "master mechanic" doing a 160-point inspection that we paid almost $1,300 for fail to notice bald tires with exposed inner cord that created an extremely dangerous driving hazard? And could a 160-pont inspection really be done in the 1 hour of that Sunday afternoon when our car went from "not Certified" to "Certified"? (It was just 1 hour from when we agreed to have it Certified until the keys were given to us and we drove away.) A finance officer at Oxmoor Toyota then informed me that I am not allowed to cancel the "Certified" agreement and get our $1,300 back, even though the Certified 160-point inspection was obviously never really done in that 1 hour of that Sunday afternoon.
4. While we were signing our purchase papers for the 2009 Toyota Corolla, the finance officer said that he would increase our coverage from "Certified" to "Platinum" for just an extra $2 per month for 60 months = $120. But when I examined the contract afterwards, I discovered that the contract says that we were charged $667 for that increase from Certified coverage to Platinum coverage. So I have gone back to Oxmoor Toyota and cancelled the Platinum agreement, with a promise that we will get a pro-rated $587 refund when the national Toyota office gets around to it.
5. On July 27, 2011, I had a 30-minute meeting with Oxmoor Toyota General Manager John Bererra. After I spent one minute explaining to Mr. Bererra how Ken Towerys Auto Service had showed me the bald tires on the front of my new car that morning, Mr. Bererra insultingly opened with, "So Ken Towerys swindled you, and now you're here to swindle me".
Mr. Bererra then falsely claimed that my service agreement would have covered replacement tires and front-end alignment just so that he could criticize me for getting the replacement tires and alignment at Ken Towery's rather than at Oxmoor Toyota. (The Toyota Certified Platinum service agreement booklet explicitly says that the coverage does not include tires, does not include front-end alignment, does not include any condition which already exists at the time that the service agreement is signed. I did not ask Mr. Bererra to give me such coverage for the bad front tires. I was complaining to Mr. Bererra about the $1,300 Certified 160-point inspection not noting the dangerous bald tires on the front of the car.)
Mr. Bererra criticized me for getting 4 replacement tires instead of just 2 tires at Ken Towery's that morning, and he criticized me for getting 70,000-mile replacement tires rather than 40,000-mile tires at Ken Towery's, even though my decisions on both points were absolutely none of Mr. Bererra's business. Mr. Bererra used a mocking tone of voice every time that he made several references to my being a retired minister. I told Mr. Bererra that I had the two bald tires in the trunk of my car in the parking lot for him to examine them, but he didn't want to see them.
Mr. Bererra's attitude during the entire 30-minute meeting could be summed up as, "We both know that you are a con man, but I might be willing to give you $250 to make you go away". As much as I could have used the money to pay for the replacement tires that I had put on my credit card, I will not accept a $250 check from someone who insultingly calls me a con man while he is handing the check to me, so I refused the implied offer of $250 and I walked away. As I turned to walk away, I informed Mr. Bererra that I was going to take my complaint to the Consumer Protection Division of the Kentucky State Attorney General Office, and he replied "Go ahead".

I received a device as a replacement from Asurion which was much cheaper than the phone I had. The phone because destroyed in less than one week because it was such garbage. Asurions only stance was that I had to pay the deductible again to receive the same phone, and that the insurance would then be removed from my plan.
With the initial claims process they told me the phone would not be on warranty. Then on the phone they said it would have been on warranty and the warranty was now void.
Asurion can and will also charge you the full price of your phone if they don't receive your damaged phone back. Regardless if they lost it, or the mail lost it.

To whom it may concern:
Since I am convinced that you get 100s of letters a day like mine, I am going to do my best to make this letter stand out. I am sure that you take the best of them and frame them and enter them in the Irate Customer of the Month contest.
Is Cross Country Bank a branch of the Mafia? Your business practices certainly make it appear as such.
Let us recap, shall we?
On May 8th, I paid my bill via the internet. (Please see enclosed copy of e-mail receipt) I got an email confirmation telling me so. But wait! I also got a phone call from Jason in collections telling me that it did not go through, and he needed me to do a phone payment right then! AND pay a late charge, AND pay an over limit fee.
I explained to Jason (the reason I am putting that name in parentheses is because I do not for one second believe that this guy's name is actually Jason) that I would need to verify what he was saying and could I please have a number with which to call him back. That number is 1-866-484-1398. Try that number yourself. It doesn't work.
Oh by the way, you should be aware that you are the only credit card company in the freakin' world that CHARGES MONEY TO PAY YOUR BILL ON LINE!! I am on to you though. IF you allowed people to pay on line for free, then they would actually pay their bills on time AND YOU WOULD NOT GET ANY LATE FEES!
I think an insult is now in order.
Kiss my butt. I was going to say *ss, but I am not ready to get that nasty yet.
So, looking at my e-mail confirmation AND my bill shows me that I did in fact pay my bill on time. Hmmm. So take your lare fee and over limit charge and kindly do the Richard Gere gerbil deal. You know, shove it up your a*s. d**n, there I go swearing again.
Let's move on.
Lat year, I lost my card. I called promptly so as not to incur any charges and to save you any charges for fraudulent activity. What do I get for my trouble? A THIRTY-DOLLAR CHARGE FOR A NEW CARD!! This is a goddamn (oops, I swore) piece of plastic that costs roughly 7.8 cents to produce.
Here comes another insult. Ready?
LMB. (See if you can figure out what this acronym means. If you can, put $5 on my card)
I also noticed that generous TWENTY NINE POINT NINE PERCENT RATE you are charging me. I read the fine print, and sure enough, there it is in black and white.
If I go over limit, the rate gets raised. But let's see how that works, shall we? I love this part by the way. Congratulations on finding yet new ways to f*ck your customers in the *ss. Oh, please forgive me for insinuating that you engage in sodomy with your customers. That would be an insult to all sodomites everywhere.
I charge $100 on the card. I send you $100. YOU add the interest to my limit BEFORE you credit the payment sending me OVER the limit and triggering the rate increase. Brace yourself, here comes another insult and it is getting bad.
Go f*ck yourself.
I almost forgot the best part of your card.
You charge an annual fee of $72. PLUS a $6 a month, and I love this term by the way, participation fee HOLY SH*T!!! I GET TO PARTICIPATE AND IT ONLY COSTS SIX F*CKING DOLLARS A MONTH!! Woooooooohooooooo!
Sir or madam, whichever gender you are that is reading this, please take a time out and BLOW ME! I could care less if you are a 55 year old, 40 pound overweight MAN, gobble my knob!
Needless to say, I will NOT be needing the services of your bank any longer. Please cancel my card as of June 2nd, 2004. I regret not being able to send it back to you in little pieces, but I threw it on the barbeque on Memorial Day and watched it melt.
Please feel free to share this correspondence with your cubicle mates in West Virginia. I could certainly lob many insults about people from West Virginia, but I choose not to at this time. I like West Virginia. I got laid there once. You can thank her for sparing you another tirade about West Virginians.
In closing, let me assure you that I have contributed my very last dollar to the Cross Country bank money machine. I have transferred the balance to a credit card company that has no ties to organized crime. Say hi to Guido and Joey Bag of Donuts for me and please feel free to stop by and visit if you ever get to Seattle. I will be happy to show you the sights and give you a Donkey Punch. Or a Korean Hot Plate if you so choose.
Sincerely, and I do meant sincerely, Richard.
(Hint: LMB equals Lick My rhymes with hag.)
I got a call back from them yesterday. They left a message and I could swear the lady was giggling.

Four charged with torture after teenage boy spray-painted, sexually assaulted at party
- From: Gold Coast Bulletin
- February 10, 2014
A TEENAGER was allegedly tortured and assaulted in a horrific nine-hour ordeal the day after an 18th birthday party at Southport.
Police said the 18-year-old from the south Brisbane suburb of Kingston had attended a home on Lilli Pilli Drive, Southport, on Thursday night for an 18th birthday party.
He was later attacked by four men at the party house.
Police said the Gold Coast attackers, who have been charged, allegedly restrained and assaulted the man physically and sexually for several hours.
Police do not know when it took place.
The victim was covered in paint as part of the attack, police said.
"It was an 18th birthday and he had gone there to meet a friend," police said.
"(The next day) they had a disagreement and she left," police said.
"After that, a group of Gold Coast males arrived and the assault took place."
A 17-year-old, two 18-year-olds and a 20-year-old have been charged over the attack.
It is believed the victim and the alleged attackers were known to each other. The victim later took himself to Gold Coast University Hospital.
"He was covered in spray paint with words written all over him, but he had no serious physical injuries," police said.
"We've had the forensic examiner at the hospital."
Police also created a crime scene at the home, sealing off the premises and collecting evidence.
A number of people who were at the home during the incident were also interviewed by police.
The alleged offenders will appear in Southport Magistrates Court today charged with one count each of torture, assault occasioning bodily harm, deprivation of liberty and sexual assault whilst armed in company.Originally published as Teen 'painted, sexually assaulted'

At a meeting Monday night, Keith Foreman announced he would resign after serving as superintendent for three and a half years. Before that Foreman served as principal and assistant coach of the Bulldogs. In his tenure Foreman brought the school out of bankruptcy and the budget is currently operating in the black. However, some called for changes saying Foreman failed to get bond issues passed and improve teacher morale. Foreman's resignation is effective Friday. He said although he's disappointed he wishes the district nothing but the best and hopes the staff can rebound and move on.

I'm a Silicon Valley technology CEO and I heard about Modafinil while studying for my Bachelor's. It was instrumental in helping me to focus on my studies and finish my assignments in record time which opened up time for me to start the startup that is blossoming now. Now I use Modafinil to stave off fatigue from jetlag as I now travel to Europe and Asia often for various conferences, investor meetings, and vacation. Not only are my awake hours more efficient and effective, which helps my personal and health as well, but also they last longer. Highly recommended for executives and any ambitious professionals looking to boost their performance.
My experence with Modafinil has been just excellent. It basically resolved my problem of feeling tired and fatigued througout my day and leaves me feeling super focused and energetic! So glad I found NZTMODA as they are by far the best vendor for Modafinil that I have found online so far. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get Modafinil quickly in the mail.
Hello Readers! I am so glad I am taking Modafinil! Before this, I would find myself dosing off at the office after lunch time. Then I discovered people talking about Modafinil and its benefits. I found so many positive responses about this drug and so I tried it. At first, I started with 100 mg and found it to be a bit strong for me. I had tight jaws, could not sleep right and the sensation of being on stimulants. I reduced the dosage down to 50 mg and it seems to be working great with no side effects. I have been using this for a little over 6 months now and I am so glad I found this.
Hey there! This has helped me so much! I used to have to fight off sleep in the middle of the day. Now, I feel no sleepiness at all. My first day of this wonderful pill, I sat down to study and didn't stop for 14 hours. My memory is TERRIBLE. Learning new vocabulary (in a foreign language) is hard for me. it used to take 2 hours to learn 20 words. Rediculous I know. Yesterday, on Modafinil, I learned 700 words!!! What? awesome eh? Try it out. LOVE this stuff... Oh, remember to eat! You'll forget if you're focussing. Also, if I don't drink enough water, I get a slight to moderate headache the next day. Finally, the biggest side effect for me... Your pee smells awful :) I kind of enjoy that because it's proof that this stuff is active in your body. Take care!
What can I say, Modafinil is a life saver!! Purchased from Modafizone online since they had such great reviews, I initially went with their Sample Pack which contains 10x of each type of Modafinil. There are 4 types, 2 Modafinil and 2 Armodafinil. Now they all do slightly different things so I recommend getting the Sample Pack first to test out which works best for you. Modalert is by far my favourite and seems to be the favoured pill of choice for many other users. It gives me the right amount of focus to carry me through the day and doesn't leave me tired after eating lunch. I had this issue a lot at work that about 2 - 2:30pm I would really start to feel tired and would eat chocolate to perk myself up. Bad idea! Not only do I get a sugar crash from that but it made me feel worse. When I take Modafinil, I don't get sugar cravings so I have lost some of my belly fat!! Amazing! So now I am slimmer, more focused and can work for longer throughout the day. My boss thinks it's a miracle! Thank you very much Modafinil and Modafizone for supplying it. 5/5 I have recommended it to everyone at work!
So.....reluctantly I ordered Modalert brand of Modafinil from on online store called ModaPharma. I took one pill (200mg of Modafinil) at 8am, and felt the effects within 45 minutes. I felt much more awake and felt a little sweaty. My heart was not beating any quicker. I didn't feel like i was on a stimulant, but more that i was focusing on anything i wanted to, and giving it my FULL attention. I was taking the drug for my fatigue. Compared to Ritalin, its much less taxing on the body, and feels a lot smoother.
Provigil the brand name for modafinil kept me out of semi coma 10 years ago and I still take it although price is extremely high. I used to pay 50$ a month with my insurance but now it costs over 400 a month and was told when modafinil the generic came on market the price would go back to 50$ Not so. Cephalon won't help if you have insurance. Monopoly on this even after several years.
Before starting Modifinil I struggled with major fatigue on a daily basis even though I use a C-PAP and have a regular sleep schedule. I can now get through the majority of my days awake and alert.
This medicine keep me from committing suicide. It is not addictive, some days I take 1/2 or none. I have been on it for 4.5 years with out problems except my insurance does not pay as it is off label. So it costs $1800.00 for 30 200 mg. I break them in half so they last 60 days. If you Dr is willing to take to a legal Canadian pharmacy they sell it as ModAlert. For 1.27 pill , and it is legal being class 4. The problem Cephalons greed, insurance greed. Please do not buy illegal drugs on the Internet. It is dangerous,
I take modafinil (Provigil) for shift work disorder. The only side effects I seemed to experience invovled a sour stomach from taking it without food and a mild headache 8-10 hours after initial dosing which may or may not have been linked to the actual drug itself. I find it more effective than caffeine although the initial effects seemed to wear off after about 8 hours or so. There are definitely less side effects than with other prescription stimulants such as phentermine or ritalin and OTC dietary supplements containing ephedrine but these alternatives did last slightly longer through the day. With prior authorization from your physician, insurance companies will cover the majority of the cost so out of pocket fees range between $35 and $65. Without insurance the cost can be upwards of $400 a month.

Have you identified all of you client's assets? What about the digital ones?
Consider this frightening scenario: a widow finds her credit score tanking because her deceased husband, who paid everything online, left her without any log-in information. Because he had gone paperless, she has no clue when bills are even due.
As lawyers, we need to consider how digital assets affect our clients as more and more of our clients manage their personal affairs on the web. Not only do wills and trust attorneys need to think about them, so do family lawyers because divorces present a unique context in which digital assets play a key role.
Attend this cutting-edge audio CLE program so you can learn from our experts how to best advise your clients with regard to their digital assets.
definition of digital assets
real life examples of the problems caused by the failure to plan for the disposition of digital assets
strategic language that trust and estate attorneys might employ
issues in family law dealing with digital assets
state digital assets laws (pending and passed)
future of digital assets in the legal system
Have a question for the faculty? This interactive seminar will give you the opportunity to submit questions to the faculty before and/or during the program. In addition, all registrants receive a set of downloadable course materials and free access to the archived online program later.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I've always loved Dwarves because of their lore and skills and also because Aule is associated with them (he's my favourite Vala). Also, I think the fact that I absolutely love Khazad Dum and its mysteries played an improtant part in that!
Hail Durin! ;)
I did not actually choose Gandalf. It was chosen for me by those who listened to my oral reading of The Hobbit and LotR years ago, back in 1979. (My characterization of Gandalf is not Tolkien's, but it is unique to me. I have voices for all the characters, and my Gollum is the same as Tolkien's.) When I joined this site five years ago, I found that "Gandalf" was very over-used, as were "Mithrandir," and a host of other expansions on "Gandalf." So I considered how I might modify the name, and thought "Gandalf" combined with his name in the West would be more likely to be available. Such was the advent of Gandalf-Olorin.
Now why did those students I read to decide to christen me after the wizard? Well, they liked my character voice for him, for one thing. And perhaps they also thought of me as the older, wiser, friend who helped them out. Maybe they were also thinking of my temper. In any event, Gandalf stuck, and has become my most common nickname ever since.
Do you mean the description that appears under our names? if so I wasn't aware one could choose these.
Do you mean the description that appears under our names? if so I wasn't aware one could choose these.
You choose race and location and username when you sign up. You can also change to a new location in your account area, under Edit Account. This costs 400 pieces of Mithrill.
I chose Elf from Rivendell when I signed up, since I was very fond of elves and Rivendell was what I felt suited me best. If the Grey Havens ever become an option, I will surely move there.
I was an eagle for a while, but those locations had to go when we got the PT weather back.
Well said everyone:)
I wish I could hear you read out some of Tolkien's works,Gandalf,although I don't know how that will happen:)
I used to be called Merry in school and my best friends were nick-named Pippin and Sam.More than being Hobbit-like we were known for our pranks and humor but now I have mellowed down enough to want to be a gentle,sword-wielding horse-mistress;)
You choose race and location and username when you sign up.
Hmm, I must have forgotten. I don't remember choosing anything but my name.
I have never seen a user with no location, so I guess you would be given a random or default location if you forget to choose yourself. Perhaps I knew this once, but I don't know now. Some elf I am, huh? ;)
These are all interesting responses. As for me....I was in a bit of a hurry when I signed up and, regrettably, just disregarded this option and chose randomly. I'll probably change when I have 400 mithril.
Personally I don't really feel like any of the options. If Balrog from Depths of Darkness was an option, that's what I would go with. Witch King from Angmar would be pretty sweet too...and it's not that I'm evil, I just always thought the bad guys looked the coolest and had the most interesting back stories
I chose to be a Dwarf mainly because my first exposure the world of Arda was The Hobbit (There and Back Again) The songs, tales, and the creation back-drop(Silmarillion) with Aule and the Dwarves being "adopted" children of Eru. They had many unsung battles with Dragons, Balrogs, Goblins from the North, spawns of Morgoth. It is a good thing that Gimli got the gift of Galadrial's three Golden hairs helping Wood and Mountain bond once more in the coming darkness of battles over Middle-Earth.

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)
Crowds line up for last dose of fun as State Fair draws to close
Steam carried the scent of roasting pork and grilling chicken across State Fair Park in West Allis, as crowds for the fair's final day drifted by, carrying plastic cups of beer and Dippin' Dots.
The threat of rain Sunday didn't seem to have discouraged many, judging by the long lines waiting for the strawberry- and banana-flavored milk at Herb's Superb Milk House. Long lines also could be found at the Margarita Express and the cookie dough fondue. »Read Full Article(4)

Concert review: Taylor Swift's 'Red' tour brings color, spectacle to Chicago's Soldier Field
CHICAGO - Seven songs into Taylor Swift's sold-out Soldier Field concert Saturday, her life flashed before our eyes.
There was Swift, up on the big screens, growing up in a matter of moments through a series of home movies, from smashing the keys on a keyboard as a four-year-old, to performing in a school musical and at some humble gigs as a preteen and teen, to standing at a press conference at the Grammys at 19. It all culiminated with the 23-year-old Swift in the flesh, escorted through the Bears field on the shoulders of her dancers, slapping fans' hands and singing her exuberant pop hit "22." »Read Full Article(2)

4-H Youth Participate in Communications Event
It comes as no surprise public speaking has been a fear topping most charts-- sometimes it trumps spiders and heights. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Dallas County 4-H'ers showed no fear, however, during the Communications Event on April 12, 2014.
Youth chose to show either an educational presentation or a working exhibit to a panel of judges. Educational presentations were judged by subject selection, content, delivery, workmanship, personal appearance, ability to handle questions and audience interest. Working exhibits are informal speeches where the presenter takes a more interactive approach with the audience. They are judged based on the suitability and knowledge of the topic, approach, techniques used and the involvement of the viewers.
Sixteen educational presentations were delivered. Purple ribbons were awarded to Carly Kuhse for Okapis and Animal Adaptions and Jarrett Orman for Line One Breeding. Blue ribbons were awarded to Emily Coghlan for Iowa Blue Chicken, Ian Williams for Landscape Glass, Maya Shirley-Brown for Alvin McDonald; A Wind Cave Explorer, Kaydee Bennett for Sheep Care, Rachel Johnson on Furry Friends, Jackson and Kailee Allen for Cat Show Success, Drew Storey for Pick and Pack a Backpack and Jessica Jean forParty Planning.
Six presentations and two working exhibits were selected to go on to the 2014 Iowa State Fair. The presentations were delivered by Makayla Bauer on Sleep, Kennedy Cowles on Dwarf Hamsters, Kylee Cowles on Greek Mythology, Melia Moss on Make Your Own Vanilla, Hannah Ashley on Get Involved! and Jarrett Orman on Colic in Horses. Working exhibits chosen were Zach Stewart on Magic and Grace Stewart on Optical Illusions. The public can see these young adults deliver their presentations again at the Dallas County Fair on July 10 at 2 p.m.
Clover Kids, a 4-H program for kindergarten through 3rd grade, also had the opportunity to present during this year's Communications Event. Jacey Orman gave a speech on Barrel Racing, Kaylin Wachter onCooking, Haylee Wachter on Rubberband 100m, Brock Jean on Let's Make a Rainbow and Wes Williams on Chocolate Nests.
Dallas County Extension is proud of the professionalism and courage displayed by these 4-H members. Those interested in enrolling their son or daughter in 4-H should contact the Extension office at (515) 993-4281.

Australian Seafood Labelling – The Fish on Your Plate Might Not Be What You Think it Is
The loophole in Australian seafood labelling laws means that the food service industry (restaurants, cafes etc.) is exempt from country of origin labelling.
Last month I shared with you, dear reader, the launch of a new website called Seasonality – a site which will help us all to make sure we are eating the very best of the great seasonal and sustainable fish species that we can find here in Australia.

Hands up those of you who think onions are sexy. Just as I thought – not too many of you out there at all.

Buzz Honey – "Eat Honey, My Child, For it is Good"

The quote above is from the bible (Proverbs 24:13) and spot on – honey is good in every sense and the tiny, incredibly industrious, creatures that make it for us are vital to our food security. With this in mind I decided to get to know another Adelaide Hills food producer a little better and set out to catch up with Annette Ferris of Buzz Honey.

Buffalo Dairy Herd – A First for South Australia
Back in the last century, when I was a mere slip of a thing, the entirety of my cheese experience consisted of the nasty blue boxes of Kraft "cheese" that were found on every school sandwich and the Coon or crumbly Cracker Barrel that my mother brought out for special occasions. Cheese stores were unheard of and the idea of a goat cheese or, god forbid, a buffalo curd was utterly unimaginable.

I did not call the store back, since they refuse to make service appointments anyway and simply showed up the next morning. The semi-rude phone guy was slightly more affable, and recommended an alignment, at a price slightly higher than a local car dealership's service department. I agreed, and he mentioned that the vehicle might need "camber bolts," at about $30 a set. Later on, he called me at home, and said the car definitely needed the camber bolts, which would be about $160 (with labor). I trusted him (big mistake), and ended up with a $335 charge to mount TWO tires, do an alignment, and install "camber bolts."
The employee also insisted that they must, by law, mount new tires on the rear axle, and did so. When I took issue, he insisted that was the Law. When I picked up the vehicle, I asked if I could bring it back the next day for a "free" tire rotation since I had wanted the new tires in the front, and he was kind of amused. First of all, he said, rotation is not free unless you buy the tires there. Oh, I see. But he agreed that if I brought it back the following week, he would rotate them. He also highly recommended a brake job, which I thankfully declined.
And now the kick-in-the-butt: I brought the car to its dealership 10 days later for an oil change and brake inspection. The Service Advisor was shocked about the "camber bolts," stating that such parts are NEVER changed unless they're physically broken. A simple 4-wheel alignment would have sufficed. And he said they probably installed salvaged or aftermarket parts of dubious quality. (I foolishly forgot to demand the return of the replaced parts.) AND he told me there's no such Law about mounting 2 new tires on the rear axle only. It's standard practice to do it that way, but can be done differently if the customer prefers. No such Law!
And to top it all off, I never received any paperwork on the new tires, either the manufacturer's info or the paperwork from Tire Rack. So, between the telephone rudeness, lack of scheduling, phony upselling of unnecessary work, possible installation of used parts, missing paperwork, and phony tire-mounting Law, I would strongly recommend staying far away from this store, and any other Tire Kingdom franchise. The dealerships service departments are not always 100% trustworthy, but have a far greater interest in NOT misleading you, and making stuff up. At least get a second opinion before letting the rip-off artists at Tire Kingdom do ANY extra work on your vehicle.

Hey Eric, not so fast! One more consideration.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011POSTED: Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Your statement doesn't make sense, as you made no reference to whether the vehicle was front wheel drive or rear wheel drive, etc.
That makes all the difference.
For the most part, Tire Kingdome "technicians" are IDIOTS!
I have seen this first hand.
In one of my visits, I had the "technician" severely underinflate my tires.
These are load range E truck tires on an F-250.
These idiots inflated them to 35PSI.
I told them they were underinflated, and the idiot "technician" looked me in the face very seriously and "educated" me to the fact that if I was to carry a heavy load, I would want them softer to "handle the load better" and not blow out!
So, I educated this fool in the fact that the greater the load, the more air pressure is needed, and tires that carry loads should be inflated at or near the tire's maximum cold PSI rating.
He still didn't grasp this common sense principal, and still argued with me.
I wrote corporate.
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?

I expect they would be interested in your experience. Maybe they can shape them up or dump them as in installer.
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?

It has to due alot with being able to control the vehicle in the event of a hydroplaning condition or loss of traction by others means. Think of it this way....if you start to hydroplane you have no control of what happens in the rear of your car, the front - you gain try to regain traction by tapping the brakes and possible steering away of what you may hit....loss from the rear - you are at the mercy of momentum.
So yes...front tires do tend to wear quicker and the common thought process we have been taught for years was new up front. But considering what we know now...that is down right dangerous.
here is a link to tire rack that explains it in more detail
as far as the other stuff.......no comment

Oonie's Ghost LbNA # 50161

In 1843, Oonies father, Milt Andrews, built a splendid plantation-style mansion near Karnack, known locally as The Brick House. Sometime in the l880s, Andrews' 19-year-old daughter, Eunice, whom the family called Oonie (an Irish shortening of the name Eunice), sat alone in an upstairs bedroom when bolt of lightning from a storm struck the chimney, raced down a fireplace, and hit her. Oonie was burned to death. Over the years, stories arose that Oonies ghost never left the house. Eerie noises, odd happenings, and ghostly apparitions soon became common. When the Andrews family sold the house to Thomas Jefferson Taylor, Lady Bird Johnson's father (her given name was Claudia Taylor), in 1902, the ghost went along with the sale. When Lady Bird was five years old, her mother, Minnie, fell down a flight of stairs and died of complications from the fall. In a profile of Lady Bird Johnson, Time magazine described Lady Bird's mother as "a tall, eccentric woman from an old and aristocratic Alabama family, liked to wear long white dresses and heavy veils. Did Oonies ghost have something to do with the accident? Maybe she didnt get along with Minnie. Sounds mighty suspicious to me. While Lady Bird said she never saw or heard the ghost, she admitted feeling a sense of apprehension and unease in the house as a child. She may have felt the same way in The "White" House as she did in The Brick House. It makes you wonder.
Directions: This letterbox is located in the Andrews Cemetery on Highway 43, three miles south of Karnack, Texas. From Marshall, take Hwy. 43 about 9 miles northeast. The cemetery will be on the west side of the road.
To the Box: Park in the parking lot next to the cemetery. Explore the cemetery if you like. At the back, beyond the fence, is an old part of the cemetery, but there is no gate, so the area is isolated. This may be where Oonies body lies, but well never be sure, will we? Walk around to the front and face the arched gate with the name of the cemetery in the arch. Just to the right of the right brick column, on the ground next to the fence post, covered with a small piece of concrete and stuff, is the box. Up the road toward Karnack, a few hundred yards, is the white house known as The Brick House, the T. J. Taylor estate. This was the childhood home of Lady Bird Johnson and Oonie Andrews.

Hands on with the Tega v2
Windows tablets by Christmas said Ballmer, and he wasn't lying.
Pocket-lint has exclusively got its hands on the Tega v2 - we're told by its makers that we are the only UK media outlet to have one on launch day.
First impressions, it's quite a solid build and is surprisingly heavy given its ultra-slim frame. It measures in at just 14mm, but weighs 870g.
However, it is packing some pretty serious kit for a small device, so some extra weight is to be expected.
Inside it's got an Intel Atom N455 1.66GHz processor, with 2GB of DDR3 RAM and Intel Generation 3.5 integrated GMA 3150 graphics. Storage is the SSD variety and comes in 16, 32 or 64GB variants (we've got the 32GB one).
It's got a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity as standard and optional 3G, Wimax and Wibro.
Port-wise, you're looking at an SD card reader, two USBs and a VGA. There's also room for a SIM if you want to go down the 3G route.
The Tega v2 comes with either a 0.3 or 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and also has a built-in microphone.
As well as running Windows 7 Professional, the Tega v2 also offers you a gateway to Android. It's version 1.6 at the moment, but there are plans to upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2. The Android option is totally up to you as well, it won't come pre-loaded, but you can choose to install it from Tegatech's website.
One feature that we've already noticed that is pretty cool is the Home Button. In Windows mode this button has been embedded with the Windows+D desktop shortcut, so that each time it is pressed all open applications are minimised, and desktop is seen. When pressed again all opened applications resume their previous position.
The Tega v2 isn't yet available directly in the UK - your best bet for getting one at this stage is from Tegatech's European website. It'll cost you $649 and for that you'll get the device, a stand, some screen cleaner, a VGA dongle, a screen protector and a capacitive touch pen.
We'll be putting the Tega v2 through its paces over the next couple of weeks, before bringing you our comprehensive review. iPad killer? You'll have to wait and see.

Eligibility Criteria (must meet the following to participate in this study)
Diagnosis of untreated "high-risk" MDS (>= 10% blasts) or AML other than APL with t(15;17)(q22;q12) or variants according to the 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification; patients with biphenotypic AML are eligible; outside diagnostic material is acceptable as long as peripheral blood and/or bone marrow slides are reviewed at the study institution and cytogenetic/molecular information is available:
- Prior hydroxyurea for AML is permitted but should be discontinued prior to start of CPX-351 treatment
- Azacitidine, decitabine, lenalidomide, and growth factors are permitted for low-risk MDS (< 10% blasts); all treatments for MDS should be discontinued prior to start of CPX-351 treatment
- TRM score >= 13.1 as calculated with simplified model
- Bilirubin < 2.0 mg/mL x upper limit of normal
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 4.0 x upper limit of normal
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 40%, assessed within 28 days prior to registration, e.g. by multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) scan or echocardiography, or other appropriate diagnostic modality
- Patients with symptoms/signs of hyperleukocytosis or white blood cell (WBC) >100,000/uL can be treated with leukapheresis prior to enrollment
- Provide signed written informed consent
Exclusions (conditions that would prevent participation in this study)
- Refractory/relapsing blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
- Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of < 1 year
- Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection, unless under treatment with anti-microbials and controlled/stable, as defined as being afebrile and hemodynamically stable for 24-48 hours

If there's one thing I've learned in my 15 or so years in the games industry, it's that few aspects of the business are paid as much lip service as hiring.
"Yes", your prospective boss may tell you as they take you on a tour of the office, "hiring is extremely important. Hiring is ultimately how we maintain our culture and value creation capacity, while at the same time ensuring that we have the drive and flexibility needed to pivot when the market so demands – and also to beat that same market to the punch through everyday grassroots innovations".
So far, so good, you think. A bit bureaucratic an answer perhaps, but the theory seems on-point.
And then they introduce you to Jane, the company's lone in-house recruiter. Jane has been left to her own devices to dig up potential candidates or at the very least ensure that the candidates find her. She is also expected to manage all the vetting and stage 1 interviewing of every single eligible and interested candidate, regardless of subject matter area. Additionally, she is not allowed to use outside agencies to track candidates down. Too expensive, you see.
As you start looking around for the nearest fire escape, or at the very least a window to jump out of, you're told by your host in a magnanimous tone of voice that Jane "has one of those fancy LinkedIn Pro accounts". When you ask how many people she's expected to recruit this fiscal year you quickly wish you hadn't.
It's a caricature, but one that most of us with hiring experience have, at least partially, experienced in real life. The reason it's so common is because the underlying reasons are often the same. They include a lack of understanding of how much work is actually required in order to bring good staff through the door, as well as outright arrogance; thinking that the reputation of the company will magically attract the right people. The filtering process and negotiation phases are also routinely under-estimated, as well as what happens once the candidate has actually commenced working at the company.
I have, however, yet to meet anyone who claimed that having the right staff is not important. Many people just suck at attracting and hiring said staff. So I thought I'd put together a list of my own personal best practices for not only "doing hiring the right way", but more importantly "doing games industry hiring the right way".
Hi all,
The blog's been dormant lately for a bunch of reasons, but I'm hoping to drop some lines again sometime soon, seeing as I've managed to move house and do all the other big projects that were in the pipe.
In the meantime, I've had the chance to do two Let's Play videos for Mad Max and Just Cause 3, and would like to share them here.
Thanks for checking them out!
Just a very short update for those following my blog. I've started streaming. The angle of the stream is kind of the same as that of the blog; I'm trying to be me, while also being educational and somewhat interesting.
The first Game Design Centric let's play I'm doing focuses on Bloodborne. Take a look at episode 1 right here, if you would:
I'm pretty sure that everyone who follows the games industry has noticed the controversy that's developed over the past few weeks around Peter Molyneux, his company 22 Cans, and the Kickstarter-funded game Godus. I'm not going to bother to recap the whole chain of events, but I think it's fair to say that the culmination of it all was this RockPaperShotgun interview. Anyone who's heard anything about this story has probably heard of this piece in particular.
For my part, I'm not really interested in discussing the interview itself too much. It doesn't really concern me how it was conducted, or how Molyneux came across (if anything, it pisses me off how belated the reaction is, seeing as none of this stuff is really new when it comes to Peter).
No, for my part I'm mostly interested in the assertions about how game development is conducted, what it takes to make a great game and the nature of making predictions and estimates. Because even if we were to accept the premise that Peter is completely honest in defending his past statements and actions, he is still quite unforgivably and amateurishly incorrect about a lot of things. At the very least, he needs to be cognizant of, and responsible for, his voluntarily and stubbornly viewing the game development process as impossibly chaotic and unpredictable. Even more so, he should be ashamed of trying to pretend that his own inadequacies are in any way inherent in the game development process. Perpetuating that kind naiveté might be a great way to whitewash one's own incompetence, but it also does great harm to both gamers' understanding of games and the game development community itself.
I offer this link without commentary:
Recommend checking out this article:
Seven Questions for Every Video Game Kickstarter.
My own comments below:
These are all good questions. I would offer the following advice:
For point 1: "Who is the project manager for this development?"
To be fair, not everyone has a "General Manager" of a project. Indeed, that's an oftentimes bad role in a creative enterprise; most subject matter specialists don't like answering to a person who has authority just by virtue of handling the money. That said, if they use a better model, they should explain that model. So maybe what we should be asking is:
"Do you have an Organizational Chart for the team?" (Also, asking for workflows will sometimes yield some interesting information, but that's a bit more advanced.)
The Org Chart should define the roles and responsibilities, and should also help in answering question 2 and to a lesser extent 3.
To further answer question 3, and to answer question 6 at the same time, the team should provide a preliminary Product Roadmap, featuring key milestones and staff ramp-up schedule at the same time.
Questions 4 and 5 can both be answered in the same budget breakdown document (even if the tools are free, they should still be listed and indicated as such).
Question 7 should be answerable both in the body of the pitch, but also in the aforementioned documents. Early Access and the like should be in the roadmap. Other sources of funding should be in the budget breakdown (as that shouldn't just feature the Kickstarter money).
Two more things I would ask are:
* Where are you planning to get the additional staff from?
Quality staff are hard to come by. If you want the best of the best, you may have to use agents. Or at the very least direct approaches (which are time consuming), and then you have to expect to pay a lot more than you would for students out of Uni.
If they have a core team of relatively skilled and experienced people, sure, that can go a long way. But if they commit to a timeline for the additional hires, that puts them under time pressure. So I'd like to know if the future hires are scoped out already or if they will post a job listing or what.
* What happens if the project attracts unexpected investment?
People were none too happy with the whole Oculus/Facebook thing. Maybe explain the team's philosophical stance on working with large companies, and what happens to the backers' investment if and when EA steps in and buys the whole shebang.

While traveling from Sacramento to LA half way there I went to use the phone and noticed where it read the time it read NO SERVICE and would not call out nothing. Note the phone was never dropped or smashed gotten wet or been left in the heat .
So after contacting boost mobiles customer reps I had been advised to reach Motorola. So an hour on the phone it seemed like and answering a million trivia questions I was informed the phone was still under warranty but it had to be sent to them and I would receive it back in no more then 13 working days .
I was reassured that the phone was coverd under Motorola's warranty guidelines . After hanging up with motorola I shipped it via the post office all of four dollar it cost overnight .
4 days later it returns . Under the impression it would be repaired under the warranty it was not. From the coversation with the service rep there was no mention of it being a roll of the dice , 50/50 chance , or a complete waist of my time to send it in .
After inspecting it they determined it had physical damage sheilds are lifted and board is warped. PERIOD ! Complete waist !

Here's what happened to me--I responded to a Craigslist ad (under "insurance sales") for this outfit which was soliciting agents under the heading "Licensed Life Agents--All Inside Sales, Extremely Fast Pay!!" It was explained that an agent could work from his/her office, using the "70-80" leads per week provided by QuoteSource to sell mortgage protection insurance. The offered contracting with Mutual of Omaha, Anico and Assurity and others.
The "catch" was making a deposit of $450 via PayPal for first batch of leads, which deposit would be returned upon writing your first 5 apps. Mark Flores, thief-in-charge, had all kinds of gaudy production stats and how the typical agent makes well above $120,000/yr. Sound good so far ???
Mark Flores then sends you contracting paperwork for the various providers QuoteSource is associated with. Upon receipt of your $450 "deposit" he then sends starts the "training program" which is straight out of Telemarketing 101, and begins the contracting process.
After about two weeks and not getting any "pending contract" notices from any provider, I began to email and call (leaving messages--he never answered in-bound calls) and wonder what the hold-up was. Turns out I was being the one "held-up". All this started in early November, 2012. Marks's 5 session training class was finally offered to "all new agents" in late November. He's send out email announcements to "all new agents" regarding appointments/contracting , etc.
Around Dec. 14, 2012, I began to realize that I had been "had". Still nothing from the providers with whom I had filled out contracting paperwork, no contact from Mark Flores, and...all his phone numbers were now disconnected--couldn't leave a message. My next step now is notifying the providers, Calififornia Dept. of Insurance, West Covina Police etc. I called PayPal to report fraud in this case. Any other ideas???
This guy is very, very good. Friendly, smooth, slick, helpful, "sincere". Claims to have been in business 20 years when he has his license 12 years, says he's beeen in business since 2003 when it's really been 2007. Be aware--be advised........QUOTESOURCE DIRECT and Mark E. Flores is a scam and fraud. Look for them on facebook, craigslist and indeed (in the future)...or coming to a website near you!
