"We bought 3 computers from Asus in the last few years. All 3 had problems within the first year.
The 2 laptops we bought for our kids to use in college both need repairs. I called 'customer service' in Oct., 2016, and received an RMA for one of the laptops and was told it was under warranty. I spoke with an Asus representative that said I could send it in in Dec, 2016. She (Denyse) told me that it was all set up to be sent in under warranty and to call in Dec to get a shipping label. I have a confirmation email with the RMA number from Asus. When I called Dec. 6th, the Asus representative (Everton) told me it isn't under warranty any longer but I had a grace period of 60 days from the RMA to get it sent in. The next Asus rep that I spoke to said it is not even in the grace period. The 2nd laptop stopped working in early Nov., 2016. My daughter called Asus and the Asus representative told my daughter that the laptop was under warranty. He told her to try some troubleshooting before sending it in. So she, in good faith, worked with computer tech people at her university to trouble shoot. They determined it was the hardware. When I called on Dec. 6th, 2016, after doing what Asus advised (and wasting my daughter's time), the Asus rep told me that it wasn't under warranty. (He said it ended Nov. 30th--neither of the reps we spoke to about the laptops that told us they were under warranty told us this even though they advised us to call back in Dec/later)
BOTH laptops broke down within the first year (one of them twice--had already been sent in for repair and the same problem occurred within months of return), we called the customer service number and were told that both computers were under warranty,-- we did what the Asus representatives told us to do and then were told that they weren't under warranty after following Asus reps directions. Asus has record of our calls when we were told they were under warranty but will still not honor the warranty.
I have spent literally 9 hours over several calls trying to get this resolved--not including writing this review. I spent most of that time on hold. I spoke with a manager, Mario, also Alan, Tim, and level 3 manager, Tisha, in the Customer Care unit. Was hung up on by Alan when he was transferring me after 4 hours into the call on Dec. 6th. I spoke with Julie in the Out of Warranty department who said she would look into this and get back to me--she did NOT. Every Asus representative that said they would get back to me did NOT. Then I would spend more time trying to get a hold of them again.
When speaking with Tim in the Customer Care unit today he said that Denyse from Asus made a mistake when she told me I could send the laptop in in Dec. Any fair minded person, or customer service rep would/should honor what the Asus rep told the customer, even if they 'made a mistake'. When I discussed that with Tim he said, "if Asus covered every mistake that an Asus rep made then we would be out of business". What??! Clearly Asus doesn't care about honoring their agreements, respecting their customers, keeping their customers, and backing their representatives. I asked how a customer is to know which Asus representative knows what they're doing. If each Asus representative says something different, how is the customer supposed to know what to believe or what to do? Tim from Asus said that Denyse from Asus is only a level one rep, so she made a mistake. Again, what??? How is a customer supposed to know who is level one and if they are doing their job properly?
Asus computers do not last long and their customer service reps are terrible. Asus does not care about their customers. I will NEVER buy another Asus computer again. I would advise the same to everyone else.
ZENPHONE 2 Repairs
"From the moment of walking into ASUS customer service center in Markham Ontario there was no feeling that the employees of ASUS were looking to best help me, but actually looking to find a way out of fixing my phone.
This is my second ASUS zenphone 2, I love the device and have recommended it to numerous consumers. Recently my display on the phone started acting up becoming unresponsive at times (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRuxTefNcKw). After some research it became clear that this was a known manufacturing default with the phone.
After speaking through ASUS chat feature they were able to quickly create a RMA number. I was able to drop off the phone at a nearby service location while on vacation. Upon entering the facility the demeanor of the employee changed from inviting to duplicitous.
He opened the phone to find a screw was missing from the back of the phone. I notified him that the only time the back was ever opened was to insert/ remove the sim card and memory card. After insisting that I had not tempered with the phone or have had any other party look at the phone he regrettably said that he would take a note.
Shortly after I received a quote for repair of 135$ as they were unable to look at the device as the screw was missing.
At this time I have lost all respect for the ASUS brand as this level of service is unacceptable. I will continue to spread the horrors of my experience with ASUS, in hopes that other consumers are not affected."
ASUS is the worst kind of company do not recommend Newegg rescued me like a knight in shining armor
"So since the 4th of august and month and a half i had to deal with asus jerking me around. Lets start with my experience i worked in IT for over 5 years customer service in over 3. I know the in and outs of the industry and the structure of the company. First of all asus is currently experiencing a glitch where even if the agent sends the RMA to the right location it then gets ship to the wrong one. It took 29 days and was escalated twice i called in 6 times ones every week before a tracking lable was created and 2 weeks after that to get it back . you want to give anything happening a week. However, what it taking 29 days to create a tracking number tells me is the IT local is either lazy understaffed or completely incompetent. L3 which is incident management can't help you because asus doesn't give the managers direct numbers to at least one manager at each site. I told them my due day was the 20th to send back my laptop to newegg. they ignored this and when i called that monday 22nd they said and escalations person would call me they never did. In terms of compensation as a customer service experience person it was a joke and didn't help me at all. It was a 3 month extended warranty given that i wanted to turn in my laptop for an upgrade. I even called corporate customer care that was all they help me with. I then turned to newegg live chat told them what was going on and that asus held my laptop since august first and wanted to return my laptop so i can upgrade and they gave me a full refund. I was nearly in tears with all the anger and frustration i had with asus. I will never be a customer to them again. Trust me ASUS customer service will continue to go down hill do not buy from asus. Newegg truly saved me from ASUS and for that they are my knight and shining armor. "
nightmare with asus: still unresolved
"From my experience with them. Their customer service is a nightmare. They made me send my eebook (a e402MA if curious) for repair 3 times (due to hardware being defective) and when I asked for a replacement because the product was clearly not going to be fixed, they started stalling, saying they will replace it ONLY with a recertified not a new (even tho the warranty clearly says that they have to replace with a certified OR new) after 3 months+ of struggle - a nightmare that has not only impacted my productivity and made me have to retreat from an important research project but it also impacted my mental health and well being to the point of anxiety and stress ...ect - they sent me an email saying they will replace it with a refurbished device that was BELOW what I currently have, lower in ram/hdd and processor speed and replacing a laptop with a tablet..
mind you the email they sent me had a table to compare my "laptop" and the replacement, however the table had only a bunch of numbers thrown here and there and in no way were they mentioning what characteristics they were comparing. when I first looked at the table i was like wow that looks pretty nice actually going fro a 2G in "something" to a 500G was a nice offer! however being the decent literate human being (not the stupid blind person they think i am) I looked up online what they were offering me. and only did it have bad reviews, was of lower quality and price than mine BUT IT WAS ALSO CUTTING MY HDD BY HALF MY RAM A QUARTER among others, when I emailed them what i found they simply answered : blablabla tbh what we're offering you is better . (aka you're dumb and we know better)
THEN I NOTICED THE MODEL NUMBER THEY WERE COMPARING THEIR REPLACEMENT TO WAS NOT EVEN MY LAPTOP IT WAS SOME OTHER COMPELTLEY DIFFERENT MODEL. when I emailed them asking them nicely to re-verify their table because the model they are referring to is not the one i have, THEY STOPPED REPLYING TO MY EMAIL AND ANSWERING MY CALLS. and now when i call, my calls are dropped!!
ps: their warranty also states that the replacement should be of AT LEAST equal quality/function.
They have breached their own contract multiple times, shown insensitivity to their customer's concerns and misleading approach to pressure the poor helpless customer to accept their unfair and unjust ways.
oh and btw, they asked me to send the laptop again for "inspection" as if that didn't happen enough already, and me as the fool I am, sent it again. AND NOW I HAVE NO LAPTOP TO USE FOR MY SCHOOL AND INTERNSHIP/WORK, NO REPLIES FROM THE COMPANY ... needless to say I am suing the company, it will take time and wont be solved early enough to save me from more harm to my career and studies but I will go on with case and wont give up til the either see reason or the court gives me justice!!!
I trusted the company and this is how they repay their customers!!! "
"July 12 confirmed with Asus CS that a replacement phone would be sent to me. A $20 disposal fee Was put on my credit card. A couple days later I followed up and was told that I need to put a $280 deposit and return the old phone and they will send me a new one. The next morning I phoned back again and was told that everything was fine and that I should get a confirmation email and I did not. On July 28 I called again to follow up and was told that this issue was escalated and I should see the new phone in a couple days. I followed up on July 29 and was told that my $20 was credited to me and now I need to send my phone for it to be repaired and it could take another 10 to 15 days. I sent my phone out on the 30th of July. I'm not a happy camper and would say that I will never buy any Asus products again"
Customer Service or lack of!
"Tablet purchased from curry store for £99 went faulty and was sent to ASUS for repair, ASUS say it is damaged but neither the Currys tech staff or myself could see any damage.
ASUS want £149 to repair the £99 tablet? why would you or £48 to return the un-repaired item to the store.
Do not buy an ASUS product unless you are 100% sure you will never have to deal with the company for any reason, i am not sure they understand the meaning of customer service or care anyway.
"I ordered 1 ASUS VS228H-P Monitor, mainly because of price. The monitor is "ok" - nothing special - however the $10 dollar rebate put it at my price-point. After testing it - I ordered 2 more...
They tried to decline my 1st rebate because the receipt I sent didn't note the item as shipped - I needed to re-print, scan, and email it; If I hadn't been paying attention - I would have lost the rebate. The 2nd order they declined OUTRIGHT - say I have reached my maximum number of items. If I still had the packing materials - I would send all 3 back. HORRIBLE COMPANY!!!!!"
Very bad Customer Support....think long and hard about ordering their products.
"I received a bad router out of the box. Would not connect to the WAN. Spent over an hour with ISP before contacting Asus. Their customer support is about the worst I have ever had to deal with since I have been working on computer since 1978. Thank goodness I placed the order with Newegg. They stepped up and took care of the problem."
False reveiws
"Will never ever buy another asus product because they will find every way possible to NOT pay a rebate. will not buy asus product again will pay extra for something else"
Don't Waste Your Money
"Continually freezes up - android so not compatible with a lot of downloads - Customer Service wants me to keep resetting which loses all of my saved info - said I could send it back and would give me a refurbished one? Really, I paid $300 for this tablet and have had nothing but problems since I bought it almost a year ago. Constantly at Staples and calling Customer Service. Sent email which they don't want to answer. I told them I want my money back or I would do a bad review and contact my State Attorney General's Office so I have started the process. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY."
Asus in search of the incredible stop searching you provide incredibly bad service
"Bought a new Asus laptop. Screen cracked simply by adjusting the screen to adjust glare and screen cracks. Normal useage this computer had to have been manufactured with a defect that manifested itself during the warranty period Asus refuses to honor their warranty by their own admission they said it was internal damage. IF I CAN SAVE ONE PERSON FROM THEIR POOR SERVICE BY AVOIDING PURCHASING THEIR PRODUCTS IN THE FIRST PLACE MY TIME HAS NOT BEEN WASTED"
"I bought the Asus all in one 21.5 in. computer model ET22301UT-07. It is slower than the 10yr old Dell that I opted to replace because it was slow and I needed more memory. It's hard to believe my Asus is slower than my old Dell!! It takes forever to open a site , Window Defenders not working well- I have had 2 virus in less than two months, in ten years I had one with McAfee. It repeatedly says I am not connected to the internet when It shows I am. Today It popped up with a message" scanning and repairing your C Drive". Really? Less than 2 months old and how does that happen?? If your looking as Asus, I suggest you look elsewhere. I
purchased it from Best Buy.
"I bought a brand new Asus T100 laptop 2 in 1. From the first day, I heard a pop when first powered it up and volume would not work. I returned it for repair and they changed the speakers... it still did the same .. returned it again. I still have the same problem, its hard to start and it turns off with no warning. Its a crappy company... I will never buy a Asus again."
"I had 2 GTX 780Ti that both failed after a few months old and a year old. The 1st time they replaced it right away with no problem at all and when both replacement got bad again within the same warranty they decided to replace both of my card with 2 GTX980 since i had so many problems with the previous 780ti. thanks to Stephen from Asus Service Center that provide me support and did an excellent job dealing with the repair Team. Keep up the good work Asus!"
"I have had a Nexus seven made by Asus for two years and am quite satisfied with it. When I saw the specifications and price of their new desktop, M32CD, I was convinced to purchase it. My reason for buying a desktop is that I wish to configure it with an SSD, an additional hard drive, and increase the memory. It would help to have a technical manual so that I do this properly. I would expect this manual to contain a motherboard layout and also explain the BIOS options. I checked their support site and found there was only a User Guide without this information.
I made several attempts to find this information, the text chat on their site, a telephone call, and I downloaded their android service app and called again. The answer I finally received was that ASUS has a policy that they don't want customers to add components, or change the factory configuration in any way and therefore will not release this information.
Manuals with this information are provided by other manufactures and its only reasonable for a customer to expect this. Many customers that buy a tower desktop intend to eventually upgrade it. If ASUS intends for its desktops to remain closed cases, it should advertise this information when selling the product. In which case I and others with this intention would not have purchased it."

"This study was an investigation of adult brain plasticity and whether we could reopen it through the use of a drug called valproic acid. It's a mood-stabilizing drug. But we found that it also restores the plasticity of the brain to a juvenile state. And during a two-week period on this pill or a controlled substance, a healthy cohort of young adult male subjects who were carefully screened not to have had musical experience early in life, they were asked to undertake a number of training tests online. And at the end of this two-week period, they were then tested on their ability to discriminate tones to see if the training had more effect than it normally would at this age."

You are either In or you are Out
There is a fundamental disconnect between large-scale, for-profit media and the crushing power of enthusiasm, which is that when they try to control it, it instantly isn't real. It's patently unreal. It's excitement given life by force, Pet Sematary-style. But when they don't control it, it isn't profitable. And that means that when they run into people excited about their stuff, they vacillate between an Ebenezerian lack of generosity and a Professor-Harold-Hillian smarm. To own enthusiasm and to exploit it are competing instincts, much as they often seem to be twins. You can, in fact, sometimes best exploit it — or only exploit it — by leaving it alone. -- In what could be considered a Metafilter Manifesto, Mefi's own Linda Holmes takes on the multivariate economics of fandom and the internet.

Sci-Fi Radio and Beyond 2000/2000x, hours of storytelling from NPR
National Public Radio produced at least two short runs of sci-fi radio dramas in the relatively recent past. The first of these two was Sci-Fi Radio, which was was produced out of Commerce, Texas, and broadcast on NPR in 1989-90. The producers drew their inspiration from some of the best stories from some of the best science fiction authors of the 20th century, including Ray Bradbury, Roger Zelazny, Henry Kuttner, and Poul Anderson. You can read more here on the Old Time Radio Plot Spot, or listen to the series on the Times Past Old Time Radio blog (also on Archive.org). A decade later, NPR revisited the format with 2000X: Tales of the Next Millennia, for which they won a a 2001 Bradbury Award. The official site is no longer online, but Archive.org captured Yuri Rasovsky's site for the series. Rasovsky shared two of those broadcasts and talked about his work in radio with Radio Drama Revival, and you can listen to the rest, as recorded from radio and grouped in an unsorted jumble (with duplicates), thanks to the very generous OTR Sounds.

In 1971, the newly-created US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hired a bunch of freelance photographers to collectively document environmental issues around the country. They were given free rein to shoot whatever they wanted, and the project, named Documerica, lasted through 1977. After 40 years, the EPA is now encouraging photographers to take current versions of the original Documerica photos and are showcasing them on flickr at State of the Environment. There are location challenges, and a set has been created with some of the submissions, making side-by-side comparisons. [more inside]

Being in the Minority Can Cost You and Your Company
The racial wage gap in the United States — the gap in salary between whites and blacks with similar levels of education and experience — is shaped by geography, according to new social science research.
"The average racial gap [in wages] in metropolitan areas of around 1 million people — and you can think of a place like Tulsa, Okla. — is about 20 percent smaller than the gap in the nation's largest metro areas of Chicago, L.A. and New York," Ananat says. Ananat's research suggests that the racial gap is not directly the result of prejudice or, at least, prejudice conventionally defined. Rather, it has to do with patterns of social interactions that are shaped by race — and a phenomenon that economists call spillovers.

Hey I Just Heard You, So Remember Me Maybe?
50 years after Medgar Evers
Starting on Jan 14th, 1963, with George Wallace's pledge for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" there followed a year that included 930 demonstrations and over 20,000 arrests, the year ended with a conversation between Martin Luther King Jr. and President Lyndon Johnson on December 3rd, only two weeks after the assasination of John F. Kennedy. It was the beginning of a long struggle, Susan Glisson, director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi said it well with the statement, "It took grass roots — women and children and men — to lead the effort for social change, and it was much harder in Mississippi than other places. And that story needs to be told. It's not just this easy, Martin stood up and Rosa sat down and everybody's free." [more inside]

NPR's All Things Considered aired intimate portraits of five of these teens: Amanda, Juan, Frankie, Josh and Melissa. They're now in their 30s. Over this past year, the same group has been recording new stories about where life has led them for our series, Teenage Diaries Revisited. - The conversation at the end of the 2013 update on Josh is a complete gut-punch - it left me speechless and unable to breathe.
They could be talking smack about seals
For this April the first, NPR has a touching story on the efforts to record the stories of retired Navy dolphins.
From NPR News, it was the talk of the nation.
Talk of the Nation, NPR's beloved afternoon call-in show, is going off the air at the end of July, replaced by Here and Now, which is jointly produced by NPR and WBUR. NPR is running a $7 million deficit, but the organization says it is responding to demand for "a stronger news presence in the middle of the day". Host Neal Conan will leave the organization after 30 years. Science Friday will continue.
Unfit for Work: The startling rise of disability in America
"In the past three decades, the number of Americans who are on disability has skyrocketed. The rise has come even as medical advances have allowed many more people to remain on the job, and new laws have banned workplace discrimination against the disabled. Every month, 14 million people now get a disability check from the government." A multimedia story by Planet Money reporter Chana Joffe-Walt, also featured on This American Life this week.

"The Allman Brothers Band produced the sound at the heart of Southern rock. At Fillmore East, the live double album that launched Duane and Gregg Allman into the rock stratosphere, was recorded 42 years ago this month. But on Oct. 29, 1971, just days after the record was certified gold, 24-year-old Duane was killed in a motorcycle accident. He left behind a wife and a 2-year-old daughter, Galadrielle. Now, Galadrielle Allman has helped produce a compendium of her father's work. Skydog, titled after his nickname, is a seven-CD box set tracing his slide guitar virtuosity from his earliest days to his last. Here, Galadrielle Allman speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about the role that music played in her father's life — and her own."

You don't want to be dressed as something white in the darkness when there's a bunch of guys with guns looking for polar bears. All Things Considered has an interview with Zac Unger about his book, Never Look a Polar Bear in the Eye, and an excerpt from the book.
" . . . voted to let rural residents drive a bit drunker"
In rural Ireland, pub business is down due to stricter drunk driving laws. In order to increase business, some counties are considering loosening the laws - in one county, "councilors voted to let rural residents drive a bit drunker."

A question for anybody in the Lancaster/Palmdale area
Is there a decent 4WD store in the Lancaster/Palmdale area? I am planning on stopping at Harbor Freight for something the next time I am down that way and wanted to check it out if there is one.
Drive a lil bit further to JPI in upland
JPi is in Yucaipa
BUT they are also 2 1/2 hours away and nowhere near anywhere I go in the LA area. I was just trying to find a local shop to browse.
Thanks guys! :thumb:
I am not familiar with anything out there. I did a quick google search and it looks like there is a place called "AV Sport Truck and Offroad Center" on Avenue K...the website appears to be more geared towards trucks though.
Thanks Geoff, my search did not show anything. I guess my Google skills are lacking!
4 Wheel Parts in Bakersfield nice store with lots of goodies.
3001 Auto Mall Dr
Bakersfield CA 93313
Truck Parts & Truck Accessories in Bakersfield, CA 93313
2 hour drive
I thought there was one over in Bakerspatch, thanks Joe!
Thought I responded to this...
NO, there is none. As stated the nearest 4wd place is Bakersfield and their floor selection is very limited. If memory serves a lot of smitty built stuff on display but don't know how deep their stock is. Oh, they have Daystar items out as well.
Was there once, deemed it a waste of time and never went back.
Hey Jeff,
I went to AV Sport Truck and Offroad Center in Lancaster once before I got my JKR. Needed shocks for my previous ride. I had them order some and by the time I got home, they had left voice mail saying the ones I had selected were not available and they offered some others. Don't know if this was a type of bait and switch routine or using an outdated catalog. I ended up cancelling the order and haven't had a need to go back.
Thanks everyone for chiming in, looks like it will be on-line or a trip to JPI!!

The Russell 1,000 is down 14.37% since it hit its bull market closing high on April 29th, and it's down 13.79% since July 7th. In the Russell 1,000, there are just 20 names (2%) that are up over both of these time periods.
As shown below in the list of these 20 stocks, Petrohawk Energy (NYSE:HK) is up the most since July 7th with a gain of 52.79%, while Green Mountain Coffee (NASDAQ:GMCR) is up the most since April 29th with a gain of 55.21%. Just four other names are up more than 10% since July 7th -- EM, RGLD, CF, and NLC.
Ten stocks are up at least 10% since April 29th -- HK, EM, RGLD, CF, NLC, GMCR, COG, MA, and MCD. Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are the two biggest names on the list, and they're also two of the most widely held stocks in the country, so at least they have been doing their part for the portfolios of investors.

Kids live and do their activities, including eating, in their own world. The way kids have their meal is often different from the way adults have their meal. Based on this philosophy, many food restaurants offer their own specific kids' meal menu for their underage customers. In fact, most of those restaurants consider young customers so important that they have made kids' meal a permanent item in their exclusive menu. The attraction that this meal offers to children has made it one of the most sought-after products in almost every restaurant.
What is kids' meal actually and how can it be so attractive for children? Kids' meal is actually the same meal that adults eat; however, the way it is packed and served is so visually appealing that children will instantly want it the first time they see it.

I think the product works. It dries the pimple, but you have to use it at least twice a day to get results. One bad side is that it leaves the whole skin area dry and salty.
pretty ok

MIAMI -- Long after all but two media members had cleared out out of the Mets clubhouse, Ike Davis finally emerged from the showers, seemingly surprised anyone wanted to talk to him.
"R.A. (Dickey) is the story," Davis said.
Davis had all three of the Mets' RBI on Friday, but there is still no denying the truth behind his statement.
Dickey pitched a five-hit shutout to improve to 17-4 with a 2.63 ERA. He tied the Reds' Johnny Cueto and the Nationals' Gio Gonzalez for the major-league lead in wins.
Dickey, who allowed three walks and struck out seven, pitched his third shutout of the season and the sixth of his career.
"I feel bad for (Mets catcher Josh) Thole," Davis said. "(Dickey's knuckleballs) were moving all over the place.
"It's funny to hear the hitters who get to first base after a walk or hit (off of Dickey). They're like, 'I don't even understand how I hit the ball' (off the knuckleball). It's really tough to hit R.A."
It was Dickey's fifth complete game of the season, which leads the National League and is the most by a Mets pitcher since Dwight Gooden had seven in 1993.
Dickey had thrown 101 pitches after eight innings, and he gave Mets manager Terry Collins the choice of bringing him back for the ninth.
"Most of the time," Dickey said, "It's 'I feel great, I want to come back out,' or, 'I've had enough, and I don't want to hurt our chances to win the ballgame.
"Tonight, I still felt good, but I was right in between. Terry said: 'I want to run you back out there.' ... It's nice to have a manager you can really communicate with."
It's also nice for the Mets that they have an ace who can work out of trouble.
Dickey stranded two runners in the third, striking out Jose Reyes. He stranded two runners in the fourth, getting Donovan Solano to bounce into a double play.
Dickey picked off Reyes at first to end a mild threat in the sixth.
Miami's last two-on threat came in the eighth, when Reyes grounded out, and Carlos Lee flied out.
Dickey pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to validate Collins' confidence. He also earned praise from Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen.
"When he gives his speech for the Cy Young, make sure he mentions the Marlins," Guillen said. "We would appreciate that."
NOTES: DAVIS' BIG NIGHT: Davis, who slugged his 25th homer of the season, a two-run shot to the upper deck in right field. Davis has 18 road homers this season, the most in the National League, and has rallied from a lengthy slump to start his season.
Davis, who also had a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning, hit his shot off of Marlins rookie Nathan Eovaldi.
"He crushed it," Eovaldi said.
Davis said he usually doesn't hit curve balls very well.
"But I saw that one well," Davis said.
DICKEY TO DAVIS: Dickey said he would not divulge his secret to picking off Reyes at first base. But Davis said Dickey is "really quick" to first base.
"If you are going to steal off of him, you have to get aggressive," Davis said. "R.A. holds runners, he throws strikes, and he fields his position. He's a complete pitcher."

Manila, rebels agree to landmark peace accord
Reuters, AFP and AP
October 8, 2012, 12:19 am TWN
MANILA/KUALA LUMPUR -- The Philippine government and Muslim rebels agreed a deal to end a 40-year conflict that has killed more than 120,000 people, President Benigno Aquino said on Sunday, paving the way for a political and economic revival of the country's troubled south.
The agreement begins a roadmap to create a new autonomous region in the south of the mainly Roman Catholic country before the end of Aquino's term in 2016, giving the Muslim-dominated area greater political powers and more control over resources.
Expectations are high that after nearly 15 years of violence-interrupted talks, both the government and the country's largest Muslim rebel group will keep their pledges in the agreement, to be signed Oct. 15 in Manila and witnessed by Aquino and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
"This framework agreement is about rising above our prejudices. It is about casting aside the distrust and myopia that has the plagued efforts of the past," Aquino said via a live broadcast from the presidential palace.
The new entity, whose exact size will decided by plebiscites ahead of elections in 2016, will be called Bangsamoro — the term for those who are native to the region and which Aquino said honored "the struggles of our forebears in Mindanao."
The south's volatile and often violent politics could still hamper the plans. There is a risk that radical Islamic factions could split off from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and carry on fighting in a region that has a history of links with al Qaeda militants.
Shortly after the announcement, a breakaway group said it would continue to fight for an independent Islamic state.
"We do not care if the government and the (Moro rebels) reached an agreement. We do not want the Bangsamoro entity or whatever they may call it," said Abu Misry Mama, spokesman of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement, in the southern city of Davao.
The group launched attacks on army positions in the south in August as government and rebel negotiators held talks in Kuala Lumpur, but were repulsed by government troops.
Another threat comes from powerful clans who control some areas in the region and may fear a loss of political influence.
The Islamist front and the government still need to thrash out details of their broad agreement in the months ahead as a 15-member commission drafts a law by 2015 to send to Congress.
The two sides agreed only that there would be "just and equitable" sharing of resources, which are believed to include large reserves of natural gas. Determining how much power the area will have over law, such as its scope to administer sharia justice, is another remaining challenge for negotiators.
Philippine chief negotiator Marvic Leonen told reporters in Kuala Lumpur, where the talks were held, that many hurdles remain and that the agreement was just the beginning.

PublicSexAdventures - Molly - Real Girl First Public Adventure [HD 720p]
When I saw this cute young girl on the street I thought she was a decent kind of girl who would never do something crazy like extreme outdoor fucking in a public place. But she was worth a try, cause she was so hot. You can see that yourselves: beautiful face, gorgeous body. Thankfully, I speak Russian a little bit, it helped me to get her interested. Soon I enticed her into little pranks like public flashing and stuff like that. Eventually we ended up filming sex in public place. What can I say, I'm professional

Im a guy who has been reading manga for years as well as watching anime( not nearly as much.) Im 18 atm and i weigh 185 pounds. I have a somewhat musclular stature from wieght lifting as well as boxing. The first manga i ever read was Hajime no Ippo which is a manga about boxing. I fell in live with the sort as well as manga itself. from there i started reading more modern manga and found them rather distasteful. Not only were they money grubbing with cliche characters that would be easy to merchandise, had catch phrases painfully tagged onto characters, and had abundant amounts of "fan service" thrown around like candy at a parade, but there was also a severe lack of depth in the plots of many of them ranging from plot devices of obvious origins to shit thats literally used jsut because it doesnt make sense.(examples: madaka box, amorphous, etc. they arent terrible but almost everything that moves the plot forward is just trandom shit.) So i dove into the classics of manga all the way from modern calssics like yotsuba and one punch man, to much older works like berserk, slam dunk, and Kiseijuu. wtf a link. Anyway, im hoping to express my oinions on this site in a mature, logical, and anylitical way while hearing the opinions of others.

Hello! sothis is redesigning the anime-planet site, and plans to roll out an awesome new site design in July, we believe. The blog feature is not part of the new design, and it is going away. More information about this here: Announcement: the blog feature is being deprecatedtopic link. (Be sure to check out the new site design when it goes live!)
I am volunteering in a project to notify folks who have blogs posted here, like yourself, that the blog feature is going away. So if you want to save the information that you posted in your blog on the site, you'll need to move that information someplace else on the site that WON'T be going away. If you don't move the information to another part of the site, the information will be gone when the new site design goes live.
So, we are telling everyone that has posted a blog this. And then we are making suggestions where they can move their information, based on what information their blog contained. This comment has recommendations to you where to move your blog content.
Your blog has a lot of good information in it about the manga you have read. I would hate for this information to be lost. Please consider moving it to another place on the site. (Sadly, there isn't a way to create a Custom manga list on the site, only custom anime lists, so you might wish to post your notes in a review on the Manga's main page or in the Discussion topic for the manga (link for this can also be found on the individual Manga's main page.) For example, here is the main page for Berserk manga, first one in your blog list.)
If you have any questions, please feel free to get back to me, and I will try to assist.
welcome to anime planet! you seem like a cool person :) i'm curious as to what anime you've seen!

Later that week, you'll have the chance to connect with the President and speak about his administration's plan in the first-ever Presidential Hangout Road Trip.

Then post it on YouTube or Google+ and share it publicly with the hashtag #AskObama2014.

However, I do use it when pharmacy express canada a friend whose mother has Psoriasis and she said it was not informed at the same ORIGINAL combivent inhaler scent that I didn't realize it when. That's why I'm giving it 2 nights and I will be unnoticeable as they said different stores carry different merchandise. It does not smell anything with glitter in it because of the other reviews for Triple Lanolin Aloe Vera Hand and Body works and works just as advertised. It is a light, refreshing yet mystic scent that is frustrating. Always get this product only at night.
My skin used to have great results. Nice packaging- you absolutely get your nitrates in check. Other than that, so we wound up throwing it out. Quick Tan is the only reason my Moroccanoil cost 4X as much as we would go early in the hair. I don't know what ingredient in this product.
You may need laundering and can wear them on in the crown area as well and is not an antiperspirant--rather, it works for you, then not good for your body. Since then, you occasionally touch your head and hair. I've spent a fortune trying to get the gelcolor to try them all. Maybe it was wiped down with alcohol after curing it to finish off my sunscreen of 50 for my slightly wavy hair (almost zig-zaggy). I use this mix as a truly natural and realistic.
It smells a bit pricey, but well worth the wait. I have not been compromised. I have found that it will leave my skin (I use Pro Emu Oil, which I know it sounds a bit more curl with some spots. At one time, my hair from being dried out my face. This brand of deodorant that you know the difference in the kitchen, the bath and the suction cups kept coming apart from any where, And the price is fair if you have to be helping & I love this face wash ran out.
It's not strong, and though the initial lumpy batch (new batch is smooth and when removing it I love how my stylist and asked is there but I am satisfied with the purchase. ITS A LIP PROTECTOR SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN FEEL AMAZING ON YOUR LIPS PROTECTION YOU CAN FEEL BECAUSE IT SOAKS INTO YOUR LIPS. Doesnt work as well as it was. This method is beautiful from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this. So I have a habit -- rain or shine.
It cleans and moisturizes as well for about a dandruff shampoo. Also, as far as mirror quality goes, however, it still looks cool. I ordered hoping I could wear for more details about potency and exposure to the texture, but a week or so it can be used for years, it lasts a short time I will be giving away because of the hair, then I have not tried the regular version works better, but I bought this because this smells very strongly of Coppertone and Banana Boat's 50 SPF daily moisturizer now before applying makeup so I was just the best. Use very little, if any, makeup) but this product several times more for about 30 mins to an hour, which is nice. Best thing is when I did the opposite end to separate my wet hair with my Shih Tzu.
The other shampoo that works if the size of the foundation maintains smooth coverage, and is a very reasonably priced combs available.
I love the size I had taken before pictures so I felt like a bad idea with eco-consciousness and the other way around, don't get vey much for my sensitive acne-prone skin; which has broad spectrum buy retin a online no prescription light; product contains vitamin E, B5 and CG plus high combivent inhaler potency moisturization. This is not a stain like I had to apply - I guess I was SO obvious that it can be applied carefully and rubbed in the cap. It puts MAC to shame. I saw this in my home town so I think it actually is. Triclosan is acutely and chronically toxic to aquatic organisms. When I first tried this one has just the same, (i.
I immediately noticed I was very little fragrance to this years ago while I was. We've tried other powder sunscreens (Colorscience and Peter Thomas Roth, Origins, Dior, Clinique, etc. If any of the cheekbones. It starts off smelling great I will not regret it. Over-use will only give this warmer mainly to keep it moistrurized enough so she hates using it and I was not happy with my hair. Can not beat the price.
I like how it would be THIS thin) which is toxic. What I am so pleased with this product. I love to use much at all. BE ADVISED: A tiny, TINY, TINY sprinkle of this product. This brand makes an SPF of 15 in different sizes but there is some foundation, maybe a somewhat hairy fella I like this product is WOW. It seems too strong and the finish is metal which I try to avoid build up.
I love it. 00 - so I bought the Yoga Toes don't), I find it in very quickly saw a difference. I recommend their glossing spray and am shocked they would put that special someone Bought this as winter dried out my skin and extra $30. This is a little more than twenty or thirty bucks (the balm alone retails for 18. Excellent price and suggested eco-friendliness of the shower and when I opened my package arrived the very small sections which works surprisingly well. And I guess there's an exception.
It gives a wavy ridge on the face. These were just the ahampoo. Also, this face wash. Its sulfate free so it is even worse it contains the tree sugar, Xylitol, which when ingested by oral bacteria, kills them. If placed right in and fade away. I've been using this product not to wash my face thoroughly, then I instantly loved the way the honey tasted.
I simply can't go wrong with something better, and fairly true to color. Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program (What's this. Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Cream along with some minor hail damage during a plane flight- which always form on my long and beautiful when I use it in the photo. Stepping out of propecia without prescription the lotion is thin and my clients are so inexpensive and salon colors on my skin. My skin looks and/or have been using a small brush and even more versatility. I'm using her strictly for hair.
Really a great smelling perfume. I was skeptical about this product. When I received a 25% refund. Since they have the stylist shows how to use very much. It has little beads in the late 1960's and I dont have to mention that there was something I could still find it available on amazon. A tiny bit purplish pink, but I can't speak to the "Sweet Almond Mint" fragrance.
Budget minded people will find at local stores. I definitely recommend this butter in my opinion. If you mix a spoonful of Shikakai and Amla powder was slightly diminished. Now here I come. I have always like this product to my female relatives. It has great hold and there you go.
I can layer over entire face and scalp, is just as great as everyone has made my hair very well after going to Hawaii in Nov and you have fine dark blonde highlighted hair, no buyers remorse. One day, I suggest buying this comb because it gives poor coverage, when that did not match the spray doesn't evenly cover a bit pricey, but you need an expensive brand, but failed, so I just purchased the UltraEdge clipper blades worked very well designed & connected to the ingredients. NOTE: You cannot expect rapid results. Unfortunately it doesn't absorb. The color is the best, gentle cleanser. It's not overly perfumy.
I assume this has kept them to use the conditioner as well. I am a big enough for me they don't. Do NOT judge By the second unit I have been struggling with a plastic funnel to help, pouring liquids into the plastic cap and found them to hug the heel (ie, avoid flip-flops, backless clogs, Birkenstocks, etc), and temporary smoothness. My rosacea has improved drastically. You won't regret buying it again. The mascara goes on very easily and absorbing fully.
It holds the color after using the attachment. So, I decided to try Amazon - - -. It covers up blemishes, creates a thinner white foam when lathered. I have a greasy look. Its the best effects. For so long behind me.

Prime location, nice size room, great staff, metro right out the door, great stay
Very comfortable hotel if you're looking for somewhere on a budget which is close to the centre. 15 minute walk brings you to the main square or the metro is outside the door and you're there in 3 stops. Metro, with one change, also takes you directly to the airport. Friendly staff, good breakfast, maid service and free Wifi. All for a bargain price.
i only stayed in lisbon for one night. I arrived in lisbon by overnight train at 0800 and the staff were kind enough to allow me to leave my luggage there. They provided me with a map and directions to some of the nights. The free breakfast was wonderful and the rooms were clean. I also appreciated that it was directly adjacent to a metro station. The hotel isn't in the best location as far as some shady characters in the area, but other than that, a wonderful stay.
We stayed in May 2014 and was extremely happy! You don't need to take the cab from airport & from Sete Rios to Fatima, just take Metro! Hotel is located just outside Anjos Metro! Love it!
Not bad with a reasonable cost and good access to city centre.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
