Firefighters battle multi-alarm fire in Cumru
'Everything is gone. Everything,' says homeowner Sorin Danciu
CUMRU TWP., Pa. - A raging inferno left a family's home in ruins Monday, on a day the couple should have been celebrating their wedding anniversary.
The Berks County family lost everything in the fire that was reported just before 10 a.m. in the 3500 block of New Holland Road, also known as Route 625, in Cumru Twp., Berks Co.
Seventy-five firefighters from Berks and Lancaster counties teamed up to tackle the fire, which quickly reached three alarms.
Flames spilled out of windows, torched the roof and walls and sent plumes of heavy, dark smoke into the air.
"I put some clothes in the dryer, and I took off for work. She [Danciu's wife] was upstairs sleeping," said Sorin Danciu, who has lived in the home with his family for the last six years.
"I'm still looking at my house, and I can't believe this happened to us," said Ina Danciu, who escaped the fire with only her pajamas and handbag. "The smoke was coming too fast on the second level, and I was scared."
Ina Danciu smelled the smoke, panicked and made it out of the house unharmed.
"Maybe this is a nightmare and tomorrow will be a good day and will be a new start for us," said Ina, as tears rolled down her cheek.
Neigbors on New Holland Road recalled hearing what sounded like two explosions and were outside watching the flames as they engulfed the house.
"When I first came out the smoke was going up and I had trouble breathing so I went back inside," said Carolyn Hatt, who lives across the street.
Firefighters from Berks and Lancaster counties fought against the flames for nearly two hours. Eight different departments responded, and five tanker trucks were needed to put out the fire, said officials.
No injuries were reported, but the home was a total loss. An exact cause has not been determined, but Ina said she believed the flames started in the laundry room.
The couple's two kids were at school at the time. All Ina and her husband could do was stand in the street and watch. Monday was their 12th wedding anniversary. A day they should have celebrated turned into a nightmare.
"I put so much money into this, everything is gone. Everything. Everything," said Sorin Danciu.
The American Red Cross assisted with food and clothing, and the couple planned to stay with family and friends.

Keep in mind the horrible field in SF, it's the worst surface in the whole league.
i know but football doesn't always go according to script. I beliee our DL is gonna wake up and wreak HAVOC. that will force Smith into making mistakes he normally wouldn't. Plus I also believe we're gonna jump out to a lil lead like 10-0, and it will force SF to take more chances as well.
oddly enough I believe one of the ints will be off a tipped pass by MM...
Like in most games, I think the team that wins the battle in the trenches & the turnover battle wins the game.
I believe the key to this game is the amount of beer I can consume. If I can out drink SF fan(should be easy) we win this game hands down. :P
The 49ers have surprised me so far but reality set in in Minnesota a little, when you lose a game like that you kind of lose the aura that you are unbeatable, and trouncing the Jets was no big deal. Expect to see another rought game, close to the vest for the most part with the better QB coming out on top in the end.
Forget the Past, Live for the Future!

UNICEF grant supports a collaborative effort to improve counseling, support services in rural Guyana and address violence against women, children
Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Through legislation, task forces, and challenging societal factors, there is increased effort to stem the tide. In Guyana, violence against women and children continues to be a threat to human rights, and an issue targeted for change by the Guyana government, human rights groups and the United Nations.
"Violence against women and children is endemic in Guyana, and many developing nations; it's a cyclical problem that perpetuates itself through its devastating impact on children," said Catherine Koverola, Dean of Lesley's Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences. "Our program will work to enhance the skills of those who are in direct contact with families, schools and services agencies in order to help children and families emerge from trauma and victimization empowered to build safe violence free communities."
Funded through the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) the program was designed collaboratively by Lesley and the Ministry of Education in Guyana. Thirteen students in the first cohort have begun with a residency at Lesley's Cambridge campus this summer and will continue with online study as well as additional residencies in both Georgetown and Cambridge. UNICEF funds through the Ministry of Education will support all the students' study, including tuition and accommodations during residencies.
UNICEF has been focused on protecting families from domestic violence in Guyana for some time, and this past November held a public forum in Guyana that resulted in all four political parties pledging their unequivocal support for children, ensuring that their rights are prioritized in policy making.
Students will explore trauma sensitive assessment and counseling skills; applying expressive therapies and mindfulness principles when working with children and families; and working with classroom teachers in creating safer environments for children impacted by family trauma. During the Lesley campus residencies, students will visit with local non-profits and agencies to learn from North American approaches to working with families in trauma.
The program was first proposed by Lesley faculty members Gene Diaz and Mitchell Kossak after a visit to Guyana in 2010 sponsored by Margaret Clemons of the Margaret Clemons Foundation (MCF). This is the second partnership developed at Lesley with the country of Guyana.
Undergraduates at Lesley College and AIB participate in the Guyana Lesley Abroad Service Semester (GLASS), where students support a local initiative to increase literacy and numeracy among the Macushi people of Yupukari village and satellite villages.

D'IBERVILLE, MISSISSIPPI -- There is just too much to write. These people are too large of a company now. They have a monopoly on supplying all services from one carrier. I have business cellular, personal cellular, business landline, Business internet, Static IP, National Account DirecTV. I have had service from them for over 20 years. They are no help once you purchase service from them and will draft money from you. Good luck speaking to someone with the authority to refund your money.
They have actually become legal thieves. What a shame. I would turn them into the FCC, but it takes too much of my time and just not worth it. I hope someday someone starts a class action suit against them. I'm in!!!
HOUMA, LOUISIANA -- We are coming to the end of our contract with U-Verse and I will never be going back. My complaints are mainly with the TV service as the phone and Internet have been satisfactory other that the fact that they claim the Internet is twice as fast as any other provider, bull. It is comparable, not faster.
They will tell you they use fiber optics and the newest state-of-the-art equipment. When the technicians came I noticed they were running regular coax I but I let it go and gave them the benefit of the doubt. They claimed we would be able to record four shows at once but when we tried this while watching more than one TV the screen pops up an alert forcing you to choose one of the other TV's in the house to shut down.
When I called to complain about this I was told that my neighborhood wasn't quite set up for their "full" service. I was very angry and said that I was never given any clue that I might not be getting everything U-Verse had to offer. They suggested a more costly package that would still only allow me to record 2 HD shows and 2 SD shows simultaneously. I was told I would be able to record all shows in HD when I signed up and after many phone calls and arguments with their customer service they gave me the "upgraded" service for the same price, which like I said was still not what was advertised.
I discussed going back to DirecTV and fighting our way out of the contract. That was until I went outside the next day and noticed that the U-Verse technician had cut all the old DirecTV cables at connectors and had stolen the multi-switch they were connected to off my house. I called the customer service department furious and demanded my property returned because I wanted out of this contract. They said they would contact the technician and have it returned. That was a year ago. I still have no multi-switch.
I don't like the way the menu is set up either. You scan through channels and before you can read the info it switches on you too quickly forcing you to go into the full-screen info just to read what the hell the show is about, irritating. Their DVR's are slow and unresponsive and tend to freeze up from time to time. I can't wait for a U-Verse representative to ask me why I'm not renewing my contract, I will be happy to remind them. By the way I got the feeling it was standard practice for them to cut the old antenna cables.
Why else would they do that other than to prevent you from changing your mind and returning to your old service? I think I never heard from them because they told the technicians to do that. U-Verse is dishonest and shady at best. Sadly they aren't much different that most TV services. Best thing to do is bounce around different cable/satellite companies and take advantage of new sign up deals as they come available and at least you'll save some money along the way but beware the ads and commercials. They lie to your face.
If you use AT&T for your Internet, home phone, or U-Verse services do not do auto pay or allow them to debit your checking account for payments. They will use your account as their own personal piggy bank. I actually had no problems with them until I added the U-Verse service to my account and allowed the auto pay. After that they always took more than was shown on the actual bill and even took two payments out in November. When I asked them why they had deducted two payments they said I had not paid my service in July.
I have all of my statements showing that each bill was paid every month, in full, and on time. There was no indication on any bills I received that I had failed to make a payment. When I told them this they said my bill was not accurate and refused to credit my account.
The last straw was when they did it again in December without any explanation. I actually had chest pains when I tried to talk to billing and customer service. One representative yelled at me and basically called me a liar even though she was looking at the same bill I had and could offer no explanation for the two additional charges.
They continuously took twenty to thirty dollars more out of my account every month without any explanation. I canceled my service in December because of this and went back to my cable company. I also paid what they said was the final bill and sent all of my equipment back to them. For added insurance I went to the bank and put a stop on any further payments to their company.
Last Friday, a month after I canceled my service, I checked my bank statement online and saw they had again deducted almost $200.00 for service I no longer have. Of course this was a holiday weekend so I had to wait until Tuesday to speak to anyone about it. My bank told me that the original request from AT&T was denied due to the stop payment I had placed on my account. At that point AT&T changed their merchant ID number and the debit went through.
I've also contacted AT&T and have been told my money would be refunded in 30-45 days. I told them I wanted it returned NOW and have filed a dispute with my bank against AT&T. The bank has told me the money should be returned to my account in the next 5 days due to the dispute I had to file.
I've also been told this is a common practice of AT&T and the bank files more disputes against them than any other company. The U-Verse service was great and I hated to cancel but their billing practices are unethical and they treat your checking account like their own personal piggy bank. I am considering filing charges against them with the Attorney General's office. This company's billing practices needs to be investigated. They also need to get some billing and customer service reps who know what they're doing.
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Wow! I don't even know where to begin explaining the horrible service I've received from AT&T. I was completely misled from the very first salesperson that showed up at my door. I informed the guy that I have AT&T business class services set up for DSL & phone that are paid for by my company & I wasn't leery about switching from Comcast Cable to AT&T U-Verse Advanced TV because I didn't want my business services disrupted in any way. I was assured not only by the salesman, but also by the installer who showed up 2 days later, that there would be no interruption in my business services because they would set up the U-Verse TV to come in on a separate line.
When the installer left, everything was working fine until the next morning, my DSL was down! I called tech support for my business DSL services and was told that my account was showing "cancelled-converted to U-Verse". You can imagine my surprise and upset after being told that! Apparently, after the fact, they told me that it's not possible for me to have AT&T business class services & AT&T U-Verse at the same address (even if coming in on different lines).
Anyway, as I tried to get my business class services reinstated, while at the same time telling them if the services are incompatible U-Verse has to go; I continued to get the run around. I was transferred, hung up on, never called back and so on. I had one representative telling me it couldn't be done, tech support saying it can be, and all I wanted was a definitive answer & my DSL restored.
Finally, after over two weeks (and supposedly a presidential escalation), manager override the system to allow for my U-Verse to come in on a stand-alone line and billed to my home address & my business DSL/phone to be billed to my company based in CA. After 3 cancelled account #s and hours of time back & forth with manager, technicians, etc, they even offered me an upgraded package for my trouble. All worked great and I was a pleased customer to have my business services up & running, not to mention I actually liked the U-Verse TV but of course something happened yet again.
About a week later, I received a final bill for one of the accounts that was supposed to have been cancelled at no charge. When I called customer service to clear it up, the agent that I spoke with told me that she cleared the charge and the account has been closed properly. Later that evening, I sat down to watch TV and to my surprise, it wasn't working.
I called tech support to find out if service was down in my area and was told that my account was cancelled as of earlier that day. I explained to him that I didn't authorize the cancellation of that particular account # and that I had actually called in about a completely different account, but there was nothing he could do. I couldn't call customer service back because, of course, it was after hours.
The next day, I called customer service and asked them to reinstate my account that their agent had cancelled without my authorization. Once again, I was told over and over again that if they reinstate my U-Verse account it will cancel my business services because I cannot have both services coming into the same address. I tried explaining to them that they were running on two separate lines already for over a week and everything was fine until their agent cancelled the order, but once again I was transferred, hung up on, and promised a call back. It didn't happen.
I've been in touch with the technicians that installed the service and they've all explained to me that from a technical standpoint, it can be done; the problem is their customer service software/system isn't set up to bill different services separately. I keep being told that U-Verse can't be installed if a customer has DSL service already from another provider (even if the other provider is AT&T business), a bunch of crap if you ask me especially since both services were up and running with no issues for just over a week! Seems to be a ploy the U-Verse side to force customers to sign up for U-Verse DSL even if they really don't want it!
I'm now going on my 2nd week of NO TV services at all because since I was promised by several managers that they would make it happen for me, I cancelled my Comcast service. Now Comcast says they will have to charge me installation fees again (per room, I might add) and I won't qualify for any special promotions for 90 days since I was currently under one before I cancelled.
In the meantime, AT&T has pretty much given me the attitude of "Oh well, sorry about your luck". So now, I'm researching alternatives to take my business class services elsewhere as I no longer want to do business with AT&T at all. I lost 2 weeks+ of productivity for work due to the interruption of my business services, not to mention the money I have to shell out to get Comcast set back up.
Now after reading all these messages, I'm even more worried that my credit card on file with AT&T is going to be hit with a charge for the equipment that they promised "to have a technician pick up if as long as I cancel within 30 days of installation" as part of 30-day trial period. This doesn't seem to be the case since I received a notice that I have 21 days to ship the equipment back or I'll be charged! YIKES! Here we go again. If there's a class action suit against them, please include me!
MENTOR, OHIO -- If a sales rep comes to your door, pretend you are not home. Here goes my long and winding story: The first install tech wanted to drill holes all over my 10 year old pre-wired for cable home and run wires under carpets and along floorboards and over doors etc. He left his cell phone behind after I told him please cancel order and I waited 3 hours for him to return for it. Then a week later he called to say he had left his drill in my basement!
Oh yeah and he told me he cancelled the order but I had to spend hours on the phone after receiving bills for the service never installed and a promise that I would get a $100 VISA card for my problems. Haven't seen the VISA card yet and will probably have to spend 20-30 minutes on the phone tracking it down. After that a box arrives telling me to return the equipment that the tech took with him so another hour on the phone.
So anyway another sales rep calls and I tell him my sad story but hubbie wants NFL network which our local cable company doesn't carry so out of love I say let's try again with a good install tech because I stopped some techs in the neighborhood who told me the whole house didn't have to be rewired and existing cable lines could be used. So sales rep arranges to meet me at dinner time but unbeknownst to him another rep in the neighborhood just happens to knock on my door at dinner time and steal the first rep's sale because I thought the wandering sales rep was the one coming at dinner time.
So anyway, the first rep calls me to say the second rep stole his sale and I'd have to cancel that order etc. Well his boss I guess says "no" so I get a call to just leave things as they are. Glutton that I am I still go ahead with an install date for this second attempt but upon calling for something I can't even remember now I am assigned a new account number and a new install date.
The night before old install date computer calls my house and tells me techs are coming on old install date. I ignore computer and go shopping because no one ever showed. Second install tech comes and tells me the first tech put inside wiring on the outside of my house. Second tech gets things up and running.
Second tech tells me to call the 800 number to get my promised free movies. Three hours later (enough for antenna phone battery to die) and tethered to a wired phone I finally get to a really good tech who calls me over the next 5 hours to update me on progress and starts my movies -- no problemo and I love him. There are horror stories of 2 weeks to get the movies!
Uh oh - sound on TV has terrible buzz so get on phone for another marathon and work with remote etc. until we decide another tech will come to the house and put an RF adapter on my old TV Looks all funky Medusa-like beside the TV with wires coming out of it but sound improves.
So far cable service freezes daily for a couple minutes at a time (guess we're lucky it straightens itself out). Scanning channels to see what is on is tedious and slow. Another wandering sales rep told us there was a library of 12,000 movies to choose from on demand. That was some kind of a sales pitch! You get a few of the movies that are on the pay cable movie channels and not even all of them!
Internet service is slower and more aggravating than dial up. Even though the computer icon says we have full signal, pages load when they feel like it. The wait is 2-15 minutes to load a page when the "internet gremlin" strikes which today has been all day. It took me hours to get here to write this sad story! So here I sit brokenhearted -- hundreds of dollars going to be charged -- and never started!
P.S. After U-verse Tech Support told me to disable my firewall and my virus program (which of course I didn't do), I accidentally discovered that (a) the wire wasn't plugged securely into the back of the router and (b) after unplugging the router to untangle the 30 different wires which were pulling the router wire out, the router must have reset itself because the internet is now working perfectly! Heal thyself!
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- In order to block the AT&T abuse of power (every week has one or two propaganda by them) - sending me letters- abusing of my private property (my mail box), I filed along with USPS a (1500.pdf form), that is sent to New York. It is a judicial tool used when a company abuses you by sending you non wanted letters.
When central USPS sends to this company this prohibitory order against sender, after the 30th day of that month the company is permanently prohibited of sending you any type of communication. AT&T mocks the Federal system- fail to respect the order- for the sake of trying to have your money.
After doing so- sending AT&T this judicial order- they kept me sending their propaganda. I called AT&T 3 times. In all times they said: "...Oh...we will stop sending it- don't worry".... LIARS and crooks. They stopped for 2 but after these weeks a poor creature in their company sent "beautiful" Hallmark card directed to supposed "neighbor" me. Actually see how infantile and mediocre it is- so you can evaluate the low level of their company as a whole.
In my perception, as I said to them, their marketing department is below any acceptable standard, even to 5th world countries. I was proven right. They sent me not a propaganda, but a ridiculous Hallmark Card with two Teenagers eating pasta and French fries, inside the absolutely ridiculous message: "...sometimes you just know when it's over..." And a following message with 7 lines, presenting their low standard cable service, saying that I will fall in love with that. How deplorably infantile ("outstanding marketing department") probably to conquer my heart. How inferior. How stupid an AT&T worker can be and how dumb the board that implemented it can be- no words. Too inferior.
As I said, not even in 5th world country, such a low level in terms of professional level and intelligence is accepted. I'll complain to USPS about their abuse and instruct if verifiable to apply federal fees against AT&T. The so infantile, mediocre, and 6th world level card came from a PO BOX 226586 Dallas TX 75222. If you get one- do not open.
Now, think with me....You ask to be respected, they abuse you through more propaganda letters, has a deplorable customer care, you put a "prohibitory order against sender" after trying amicably to stop them (a judicial tool), they mock you, the federal system and the whole process.
EVEN, AGAIN EVEN if I were ever to find anything interesting through AT&T, I would have to deliver a self certificate of incompetence, if I were EVER to agree to be their customer IN ANYTHING. In other words feed the miserable slice of bread of abusers, right!!!
It is shown in everyone's face, that their service, marketing dept, and disrespect to the population is deplorable. Again, no one in "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" would ever give a penny to this "company"- under the pattern of being the next victim in any part of the process...
Disrespect, deplorability, and inferior service are their trademarked. One more thing, I explained to them that when they cross the border- by disrespecting us- they not only irritate a customer but also kill a customer forever. A customer like me will NEVER give a chance to them or their affiliates and anyone who supports them. But they don't get it- that's the level of their intelligence. Imagine a company like this servicing you. Unfortunately, AT&T's greed covers any intelligence they may eventually have- IF any. They do not understand freshman concepts of Marketing.
Again, let me emphasize: You ask to be respected, you beg to be respected on the phone, they abuse you through more propaganda letters, has a deplorable customer care, you put a prohibitory order against sender after trying amicably stop them (a judicial tool), they mock you, the federal system and the whole process for the sake of begging for your business. Well, a company that begs in such a manner for your business only corroborates my initial hypothesis: Not being good enough to serve my 'castle", AKA incompetents.
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA -- We were solicited a couple of weeks ago by AT&T representatives who were soliciting the new Fiber Optic based services recently made available in our neighborhood. My wife and I listened to the pitch and felt that what AT&T was offering was a better value than what we currently had with Time Warner San Diego Cable services. We signed up for the U200 package. (Internet/ cable/ phone) for $124/mo.
We scheduled an install appointment for December 19th. The first issue I have is that the sales person told us that our internet would be "much faster" than what we had with Time Warner. (From 3mb/s to 10mb/s). Turns out they mislead us by that statement. Actually, they lied. According to the information we received today from the installer, our speed is still 3mb/s but I can always PAY MORE to upgrade the speed to MAX 10 (10mb/s). That is a very deceitful practice even if unintentional. We were told that our internet would be faster if we switched over to AT&T for $124/mo. It's not faster. It's the same speed as before!
The second issue was that we would not lose the few HD channels that we had through Time Warner included with their basic services. They assured me that not only would we have the basic HD channels but a few new ones. Turns out they mislead us by that statement. Actually, they lied again. In order for us to keep ANY HD channels we could PAY MORE (again) $10/mo MORE.
My third issue id with the phone service. We were told that we would get the phone service installed on the same day. However, no one showed even after a call I made to customer service in the afternoon assured me that the appointment was there, and someone would come by 5 PM. No one did. I called a 6PM and was then told that there was NO appointment scheduled because they hadn't gotten the phone number released from Time Warner.
They had over a week to get the release and no one bothered to follow up with us. Why? We were told that it will take 1-2 more weeks to get our phone service working. As of the end of this day, we have spoken to at least over 6 different people on the phone, with each one asking us for the SAME information.
And last but not least, we have spent hours on the phone with technical support because none of our email accounts are working and no one at AT&T seems to know why. They just keep running us through the same configuration mazes over and over! And after hours of not making any progress on this issue the IT tech gave us the option moving up to the "next level" of PAYING FOR IT SUPPORT!!! This is an AT&T ISP provider issue, how DARE they want us to pay them to fix THEIR problems.
Is this the impression that AT&T wants to portray for its new customers? Does anyone at AT&T REALLY understand all the frustration and disappointment we have experienced so far with our new service? Does anyone care for that matter?
So, to summarize, we have the same speed internet, we have to now pay extra for any HD programming, no working phone in our home, and no functioning email accounts. We run a small business from our home and it is critical that we have our emails and phone working! If we had known this terrible mess was going to happen beforehand, we would have never switched from Time Warner which ALWAYS provided us good service over the years!
Can't we expect to receive at least the same level of service we had before, and not be left to resolve all these technical issues on our own. We mistakenly thought AT&T would stand behind their own salesman's statement that the services promised for the price quoted would be honored, and not just resort to playing the run-the-customer-around game.
Very unethical bait and switching! At this frustrating point, haven been lied to, deceived, and left with a mess of unresolved technical issues, we might as well switch back to Time Warner unless someone very soon can convince us of anything different soon.
I left Comcast in October 2009 after I was introduced to AT&T me. I was told this service offered by AT&T was the Cadillac of Internet and Cable services. I must admit, after the U-Verse was installed in my home, my family was very impressed with the product. I told every family and friend about AT&T U-Verse service. Until I had a billing issue in January 2010 and my service was disconnected.
I thought once the billing issue was resolved, my services will be restored in an hour. Wrong, it took AT&T three days to restore my services. I continue to use AT&T U-Verse. The billing issue happen again this month, March 2010. My phone services were disconnected and I spoke with Customer Service to resolve the billing issue and I was told my phone services will be restored in one hour.
This was on a Thursday evening and no phone services were restored Thursday night or Friday morning. I called AT&T U-Verse technical support and I was told to unplug my modem and my services will be working again. I unplugged the modem and now I have no Internet or cable services. I stayed on the phone with technical support for over 30 minutes Friday afternoon and then another hour Friday night to get my services restored, but no luck!
Finally, I was told a technician will be at my home between 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm on Sat. I stayed at home for the technician to come by, but no one ever came. I called technical support at 2:20 pm and was told someone will be at my home by 4:00. No one called or showed up. I called again at 4:30 pm and was told someone will be at my home in 30 minutes no one ever came by. I called at 8:00 pm and was told the technician will be at my home in 45 mins, but one came by. I called technical support at 10:00 pm and they scheduled someone to come by Sunday between 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm.
Finally a technician came at 5:05 pm Sunday, but was unable to get my services restored. The technician requested a field technician to come by my home on Monday, but no one ever came by. I called technical support on Monday around 5:30 pm and was told a ticket for the field technician was never generated and that another technician will have to come by before a field technician can come by.
Finally, I had enough of AT&T circus games. I requested AT&T U-Verse to cancel all my services which I was paying about a $1000 a month for the cell phone services, home phone, Internet and cable services in two homes. Now Comcast is very happy to regain me as a customer. I also made sure all the family and friends that I recommended AT&T U-Verse were aware of the poor services.
Wow. Where do I begin with the nightmare? I signed on in the summer to consolidate phone, internet and cable TV to save money in this economy. Technicians one after another, have come out. 4 in the first month or two. Each will give a different reason as to what the problem is. Some have been very nice and I know it's not their fault the company they work for is fragmented and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
There is absolutely no accountability when you call for technical support and are told someone will come out at a scheduled time. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on the phone when they have not shown up or charged me on my phone bill/Uverse for something I did not sign up for (Third party charges--and you have to call several more numbers to begin disputing the charge).
This is the second or third time AT&T has scheduled an appointment with me for a technician to come out during a two hour window to fix my cable service. I knew from prior experience with them that there was a very good chance they would not show up again. They did not show up. 12:00 to 2:00 PM in the Chicago area they were to come out. At 2:15 dispatch called and said how sorry they were (I've heard this too many times before) and the technician would be thereby 3:30. Never showed. I spent an hour on the phone trying to get an answer as to when exactly they were coming. No satisfactory answer. I asked for several managers.
I was talking to people in Michigan. When I couldn't get through on the customer number to check on appointments, I called as a Field Mgr. They were not able to guarantee anyone coming today either. I finally got a number of someone in Illinois who said the best he could do was try and get someone out on Monday morning. I demanded a month's credit for shoddy service. But of course, I have to spend my valuable time calling yet another number to get that credit.
AT&T, it looks like you have bit off way more than you can chew. You marketed for service that you could not provide. It appears you have put greed ahead of meeting your customers' needs. I regret trusting the salesman who sold me this bill of very bad service. AT&T, if you are going to ever build a reputation for having integrity (which you currently have no integrity or credibility) then you need to stop selling your services until you can take care of the customers you already have properly.
PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA -- When I moved into my neighborhood about 6-months ago, I called AT&T for DSL service. At that time all they offered was dial-up, which struck me as odd since their competition was offering Fiber. Since dial-up didn't meet my needs, I ended up with a cable modem. Last Saturday two sales people came knocking on my door selling U-verse. I liked what they were offering, and signed up for the package. I was told I would receive a call within the hour to schedule my installation.
No call came, so on Monday I called to see what was up. After being bounced around and left on hold endlessly, I was eventually connected to the right person, who told me the installation was scheduled for Wednesday of the same week. Unfortunately I couldn't make that day, and we rescheduled for the following Friday. So far so good... I thought. On Wednesday I got a phone call from a very irritated technician who was waiting outside my door wondering where I was. I explained that I had rescheduled, and immediately called customer service again.
Surprise, surprise, they had no record of my call from Monday, apologized profusely, and scheduled me again for Friday. Friday came, and the window for installation they had given me came and went. I called yet again, and this time was told that my installation had been scheduled for the following Tuesday (April 1st oddly enough). They claimed that an unexplained problem had caused the installation to be rescheduled, but couldn't explain either the problem or when it had been discovered.
I can only guess sometime after the original installer had been there on Wednesday. The nice lady on the phone apologized profusely (I suspect they have a script for this) and promised to have it taken care of immediately. Rather than leave me on hold, she took my number and promised to call back "in just a few minutes" with a solution. One hour later I called back.
This time I was told that I had been scheduled for the next day. When I asked when they planned on communicating that to me, they apologized profusely (Dejavu). By now I had had enough, and asked that that they cancel the entire order, since I could only guess their product would be just as good as their installation service.
I was immediately transferred to a manager, who after hearing my story responded with "Oh. So you want to cancel or what?" If you can't get the basics right, like installation, how can you expect to manage something truly complex, like a fiber optic network.

An Overview of Ziagen (Abacavir)
August 23, 2013
Brand Name: Ziagen
Abacavir can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. These include allergic reactions, lactic acidosis (buildup of acid in the blood), and liver problems.
People who take abacavir may have a serious allergic reaction (hypersensitivity reaction) that can cause death. Your risk of this allergic reaction is much higher if you have a gene variation called HLA-B*5701. Your health care provider can determine with a blood test if you have this gene variation. If you get a symptom from two or more of the following groups while taking abacavir, contact your health care provider right away to find out if you should stop taking abacavir.
Your pharmacist will give you a Warning Card with a list of these symptoms. Carry this Warning Card with you at all times. If you stop abacavir because of an allergic reaction, never take abacavir or any other abacavir-containing medicine again. If you take abacavir or any other abacavir-containing medicine again after you have had an allergic reaction, within hours you may get life-threatening symptoms that may include very low blood pressure or death. If you stop abacavir for any other reason, even for a few days, and you are not allergic to abacavir, talk with your health care provider before taking it again. Taking abacavir again can cause a serious allergic or life-threatening reaction, even if you never had an allergic reaction to it before. If your health care provider tells you that you can take abacavir again, start taking it when you are around medical help or people who can call a health care provider if you need one.
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that may signal lactic acidosis:
Contact your health care provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms that may signal liver problems:
Abacavir may increase the risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction).
While taking abacavir, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
What is abacavir?
Abacavir is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults and children 3 months of age and older. Abacavir is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
Abacavir is a type of anti-HIV medicine called a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). NRTIs work by blocking HIV reverse transcriptase, an HIV enzyme. This prevents HIV from replicating and lowers the amount of HIV in the blood.
Abacavir does not cure HIV/AIDS. It is not known if abacavir reduces the risk of passing HIV to other people.
What should I tell my health care provider before taking abacavir?
Before taking abacavir, tell your health care provider:

The weather has turned very hot and humid. Should I try and ventilate my hives, and what is the best method?
The weather has turned very hot and humid. Should I try and ventilate my hives, and what is the best method?
An old method is to put four wooden blocks under the bottom hive body and the bottom board. Also top enterances are good too. Or prop the top cover up with a stick, ect. Hope this helps.
Eman - a screened bottom board helps with the air circulation - I'm in P'cola and really have hot weather and high humidity.
Yes we here in Clarksville TN are using the screened bottom boards with a 3/4 inch upper entrance and my bees appear to be with out stress.
I think my bees need ventilation too, would it be OK to take off the outer cover and put mesh over the inner cover? The bees are clustering underneath the landing board should I take the landing board off to get the bees back in the hive or will they go by the selves? the cluster is about the size of a small swarm.
Joseph Tona
I have a Miller feeder for each hive. I built them from plans on this site and they have the Bee access in the center. I'm leaving them on (empty) with the inner cover removed and the outer cover propped up. With my screened bottom boards and with a 1" hole in each super ... I don't know what else my bees can ask. I'm in Ct. but we get hot and humid days here too. I'm new at this. Any comments.
the bees are saying please provide the hive with shade from the sun. yesterday it was 97 degrees here and very humid with many bees hanging outside the hive buzzing and trying to cool the hive. I am using a screenrd bottom board. I placed some pieces of board between the hive and the sun and after 2 hours things went back to normal
near Lansing Michigan
Don't forget water. Fill your feeders with water so the bees don't have to go out to get it. A hive will use massive amounts of water in the summer.

[This message has been edited by BILLY BOB (edited July 01, 2002).]
I put extra holes in the inner cover and cover all the holes with mesh. Then I take a medium or shallow box (or make my own because I don't need the rabbet for the frames) and put a couple of 1" holes on each side of the box and put mesh over them. Then I put a peice of plywood on top for a lid. I prefer to just nail it so I can remove it if I want to use the box for something else. Also I usually build my own inner covers with just a 1/4" x 3/4" strip on the bottom of a pice of plywood to make the beespace below. Since I have a vent box on top I don't care about the beespace above, then I put a pivot door on the front so I can have a top entrance. Similar to the ones on the double screen plan in the plans section. The stick is quicker, but this is a long term solution. In the winter I'd plug all but two of the holes. you still need ventilation in the winter. Humidiy makes water when it condenses on the cold inner cover.

It's Raining Men!
Michelle, LUSH product inventor was working on an Emotibomb with this name – and although it was a lovely idea, Mark thought it would be a good name for a shower gel instead. When Helen's not inventing fabulous new LUSH products, you can find her watching drag queens lip-syncing to camp 70s classic hits on YouTube. Alright, so that's not entirely true, but RuPaul's version of The Weather Girls' certainly inspired her to create this luxurious, honey and tropical flower shower wash.
During a trip to Taiwan, Noriko found some beautiful dried lotus flowers and dried orchids that she thought Helen could find a use for in one of her recipes. So she brought them back to the UK and Helen decided to put them in It's Raining Men shower gel, made with 40% honey. They seemed to fit the flouncy, camp-ness of this little honey number!
Check the weather report - it's time to get absolutely soaking wet and lather up. Your partner won't be able to keep their hands off you once you've showered with this. In fact, we're pretty sure they'll be joining you in the shower as soon as they get a whiff of the gorgeous honey-scented steam coming from the bathroom.

And you're not really building a fine case of Peyton and Brady's WTF moments when you just say "yeah they do it too". Give me some examples of stuff they've done that are as hilariously bad as some of the stuff Eli has done. I don't think you can call bias on me when you're the one rocking an Eli avatar and always arguing the Pro Eli standpoint on the Giants forum. Let's be fair here man.
lol like that matters.
Yeah Im a fan of Eli, Im a fan of the Giants, so obviously I'm a fan of his as well. I don't go jumping into every Eli thread either, I've had many different avatars if you are trying to insinuate something. I'm not gonna pretend Im some unbiased Giants fan, because guess what? they don't exist. If hes playing like garbage, I'll say he is. like with any of our players.
I think im figuring it out now...so because he throws a left handed pick and fumbles the ball after falling on the ground, those kinds of plays are a big reason why he should be kept out of the league of the other QB's because they have never had their share of blunders or stupid mistakes? We watch the Giants, so of course we're gonna see every dumb play in gross detail.
It sounds way to like a, well I called it 'biased' 'specific' is probably a better word, set of circumstances..

Tis the season to be grateful for our many blessings. It's also the time of year when we're reminded that it truly is better to give than receive. Canned food drives, clothing collections and caroling at the local nursing home - all activities that are frequently associated with the holidays.
What if that giving attitude could be sustained throughout the year? As the frenzy of holiday shopping and preparations begins, let's get a jump start on our new year's resolutions. While we're enjoying our Thanksgiving feasts and taking turns saying what we're thankful for, let's also resolve to think more of others and less of ourselves.
It's often said that giving starts at home. Encouraging children to be kinder to those nearest and dearest to them is the simplest way to incorporate a more altruistic mindset in your children. Tween girls may enjoy Lend a Hand: Girl-sized ways of helping others (J 155.232 L962L), a title from American Girl publishing. It offers a variety of activities for helping close to home or far across the globe.
At home …
Doing things before they're asked – get started on homework, putting things back in their place, bringing dinner dishes to the sink or loading the dishwasher.
Making a parent or sibling feel special –writing a note of encouragement for a parent before a big day at work or helping a younger sibling study for his spelling test.
Being a good listener – if a friend seems sad or frustrated, lend and ear. Give your full attention, don't interrupt and be ready with a hug or tissue if there are tears.
Around town…
Give up your seat in a crowded waiting area or on public transportation. My boys got a lot of practice with this on our trip to Disney last summer when we frequently found ourselves on a crowded shuttle in and out of the parks.
Holding doors open, especially for moms with strollers or for someone whose hands are full. These occasions also allow for tangent discussions on basic good manners, showing respecting to elders, and if you have boys, how a gentleman treats a lady, they'll thank you later .
Another source for ideas is The Unofficial Handbook of Good Deeds from DK Publishing (J 177 B936U) which is full of great suggestions, big and small, to help kids think beyond themselves. One suggestion is to talk with your child's teacher about adopting a classroom project (page 56). Projects like canned food drives, or collection of items for a children's hospital or homeless shelter can be further motivated by friendly competition between classrooms. By making it a group effort, it's less overwhelming and more fun. The greater Cleveland area has many worthy organizations that welcome donations of both items and service time such as The City Mission http://www.thecitymission.org/home and Providence Househttp://www.provhouse.org/ while University Hospital /Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital has many on-site volunteer opportunities including a summer program for teens http://www.uhhospitals.org/case/about/volunteer-services/summer-youth-volunteer-program .
Because so many kids have a soft spot for animals, consider volunteering or donating at local animal shelters. This is also a nice way for kids without pets at home to get their "furry fix". Kids can offer to walk an elderly neighbor's dog or take care of a pet while they're on vacation. If this becomes a paid activity, consider donating all or a portion of the money to a shelter. For kids who are crafty, Kids Care! 75 ways to make a difference for people, animals and the environment by Rebecca Olien (J177.7 O46K) has some cute crafts to make for pets. The cloth mouse (page 35) and the cat tickler (page 39) for cats, the personalized pillow (page 42 for cats or small dogs), the ball flinger (page 43) and the stuffed bone (page 44) for dogs are all easy crafts that can be made and donated.
And since this is also the time of year for baking cookies, consider making some Homemade Dog Biscuits. Find this receipe on page 47 in Kids Care!
1/3 c margarine, softened
1 c uncooked oatmeal
3 1/2 c whole wheat flour, plus extra for rolling
1 egg
1/2 c milk
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 c chicken broth
Soften the margarine in large bowl. Mix in the oatmeal and 1 c of the flour until crumbly. Stir in egg, milk and chicken borth. Then add another cup of flour. Stir in the cheese and remaining flour a little at a time until well mixed. Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and roll out dough 1/2" thick and cut shapes with cookie cutters.
Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Remove from sheet with spatula and let cool completely on rack. Store in paper bag in the refrigerator to keep fresh and crunchy. Makes approximately 18 biscuits.
Again, these are projects that would be great for groups like Scouts, or in the classroom, to create a large batch for donating. Check out Cleveland Animal Protective League http://clevelandapl.org/donate/our-wish-list/ for donation and service opportunities.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well, I'm sure Barca can "promise" him too.

those are all good things. also, still very high.

in other news, when asked about Suarez while in Jakarta on our Asia tour, Wenger said "as you know, the transfer market demands secrets and confidentiality, so I can't answer that question." I don't know guys, sounds like a done deal to me.
Arsenal pursuing Higuain & Suarez in hope of signing one. No fee agreed on Higuain, probably need to pay £40m release clause for Suarez #afc

The Destination
Less than two hours outside of Vancouver, Whistler, British Columbia, boasts the highest vertical drop in North America and some of the finest skiing and snowboarding in the world. But ironically, more people—approximately 2.5 million—enjoy Whistler's mountain views in the summer and fall than in the winter. That's because of the world-class golf, mountain biking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, bear watching, and other outdoor action that have cropped up over the last two decades. For the less adventurous, the trendy shops, spas, and restaurants of the village will keep you plenty entertained.
The Digs
Executive - The Inn at Whistler Village is a top-notch boutique hotel on Whistler Village Stroll with amenities like a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center. Both the VillageSide and MountainSide studios come complete with a queen-size bed, a fireplace, and digital TV—not to mention high thread-count linens. You can prepare whatever you like in your kitchenette, but if cooking isn't your thing, try dinner at the on-site Il Caminetto. In addition to authentic, upscale Italian cuisine and a comprehensive wine list, this 31-year-old restaurant offers prime outdoor seating along Village Stroll.
The Diversions
After you've adequately spoiled yourself at the hotel, head out to explore Whistler Village. You're just steps from nearly 100 restaurants and bars and more than 200 shops, and a walk down Village Stroll puts you in the middle of it all.
You're close to the Peak2Peak Gondola—the world's longest continuous lift system—which affords you access to a combined 8,171 acres of terrain on the mountains. Make your way down one of 18 hiking trails that begin at the top of Blackcomb Mountain, or putt your way across one (or all) of Whistler's five golf courses. Outside the resort, opportunities for white-water rafting and fishing abound.
"I gave five stars because I couldn't give ten! This hotel was amazing. The room was wonderful and the location is perfect. Any kind of food you can imagine was outside the hotel, plus shopping and even a movie theater. This was the best place ever!"-- Hotels.com

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Veteran head basketball coach Danny Miles announced the signing of Jalen Carvalho (Hilo, Hawaii) to a letter of intent for the upcoming 2014-15 season.
The 6-3 Hilo High School point guard led the State in scoring, while garnering First Team All-State accolades and Division I Player of the Year honors in the Big Island Interscholastic Federation.
Carvalho averaged 28.9 points per game and was his team's top outside shooter, hitting 43.5% from the floor and 40.1% of his shots from outside the arc. He also led his team in rebounds (8.8) and assists (3.1) per contest.
In league play, his scoring high was 36 points against Kealakehe in the final game of the regular season. In preseason action Carvalho notched 47 points where he hit two buzzer-beaters, including an overtime game-winner to defeat Waiakea 67-64.
Currently in his senior season for the Viking baseball program, Carvalho will also participate in Tech's baseball program where the professional prospect throws in the high 80's. Currently Carvalho has an ERA of 0.00 while leading HHS with a .620 batting average to go with three homeruns, three triples and two doubles with 12 RBI and 12 runs scored.
"Jalen has the chance to be one of the top 5 two-sport athletes ever to play at Oregon Tech," said Miles. "I am very excited to have Jalen in our program as he picked us over several other schools."
Jalen is the son of Dave and Sandy Carvalho and plans to major in psychology beginning this fall at Oregon Tech.

W.H. Correspondents Dinner: Bush Kills, Colbert Bombs
posted at 2:52 am on April 30, 2006 by Allahpundit
Turns out comedy is best left to the amateurs.
Tough night for Colby, who must have regarded this gig as a chance to play the Super Bowl on his home field. Watch the clip and see for yourself whom the crowd ended up rooting for. Crooks & Liars called the performance "dynamite," which is close to the truth only insofar as it's a munitions metaphor. Read Captain Ed for details.
In Colbert's defense, he might not have been playing for laughs. The dissident posture is very important to our friends on the left; if SC had kept things light and wasted his opportunity to speak "truth" to power, they'd have crucified him for it. As it is, the moonbats will be building statues of him tomorrow. To paraphrase another delusional comedian who wasn't as funny as he thought he was, better to be Kos for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.
Although, those two aren't exactly mutually exclusive, are they?
AP report is here. E&P predictably swooning over Colbert is here. The website of the new most-famous-man-in-America is here. The homepage of one of the best networks on cable TV, which carried the event live, is here. I'll update with a link to the video of their broadcast as soon as they post it.
Update: Daniel at Bloggledygook tears down a statue.
Update: Nathan Goulding at Media Blog on missed opportunities.
Update: Ace is usually worth quoting, and today is no exception:
The media is swooning over Colbert's performance — despite the fact that he all but accused them in complicity in pushing the Iraq War. (And– TAX CUTS!!)
Why? Why are they so happy to be insulted?
Because the media loves being criticized from the left.
They want the license to move further to the left than they already are, and, to have a pretext to do so, they require critics who accuse them of being too conservative.
When they get accused of being too conservative or too easy on Bush, they get to claim, absurdly, "Well, we get it from both the left and the right, so that proves that we're straight-down-the-middle fair and balanced."
Translating this from liberal-media-speak: "Keep the criticism coming, fellow liberals, because we need to be able to 'prove' we're not liberally biased. And, because we care more about what YOU say — you agree with us and we agree with you, even if we have to play this Kabuki theater where we pretend we're in disagreement — we'll be more responsive to your liberal/left complaints than we've ever been regarding complaints from the right."
It's the left's claims of the press being "too easy" on Bush that have inspired them to reveal extremely-damaging national security secrets in order to regain the praise from the only people whose opinions they care about– other liberals and leftists.
Bold-faced emphasis mine. Why the emphasis? Because Mark Smith, the president of the Correspondents Association, made exactly that point when introducing Bush. I didn't include it in our video because the clip was already too long as is.
Ace must be psychic, huh?
Update: Jim Treacher e-mails to defend Colby.
I didn't like how Bush stifled Colbert's dissent by frowning.
And give Colbert a break: He's not used to performing in front of an audience that's old enough to buy all their own clothes.

Angler with Lake Trout, Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, USA. Photo by Bryce Nielson
Anglers display a large lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) captured in Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho, USA. Lake trout are not native to the lake, and are maintained largely by stocking of juveniles. This large predator feeds on many of the endemic forage fish in Bear Lake. Because of their sport value and large size, lake trout have been stocked in many lakes in the western United States. In some systems, they are responsible for losses of native species.

Le recensioni degli altri alloggi del proprietario
All previous reviews are correct and the pictures speak truth: we (4 adults) spent 4 nights in this warm and welcoming flat. 2 toilets were convenient, the generous living room invited us to chill after sigtseeing. Flat is clean and well equipped for 4 people. If you are sensitive to street noise, you might want to close the windows at night, or have another beer. We do not fancy blankets and sheets for bedding, continental quilts seem more hygienic, yet there were enough blankets! Communication with our host Andy was easy and fast. His advice to leave the car at Mr.parkit was good (14€ per day), you don't need a car. Safe neighbourhood with tram and metro (5 min. walk) nearby, nice restaurants, cafes and pubs in walking distance. Taxi (AAA) from Old Town ( Burg) to flat was just 8€ ! At every corner you will find convenience stores where you can buy water, coffee, bread...
We can definitely recommend this flat!
Very nice apartment. All you need for some days in a beautiful city. Andy (owner) is very helpful. Reply to mail very fast.
The choice of this apartment was reallly perfect for us. Exactly as nice as in the pictures, a very helpful and nice host plus very good communications with tramway, metro and a shopping centre close. Very nice area with not too many Tourists but still quite Close enough to the old town. In short: very good value for the money. When we go back to Prag some day, there´s no doubt we will try to rent this place again.
Dear Andrew,
Thank you for a very nice stay in your absolutely nice apartment. We felt very welcome. There was everything we needed.
We had a very good stay. in this apartment. It is very confortable and well located in a quiet area. Very easy to reach the city center by public transportation (tram n. 22 and metro at Namesti Miru's stop), some restauranst and small supermarket very nearby.
2 floor apartment, good for 2 coouple or a family. The only note, just few more towels, would have been better, expecially if you stay for many days , but there is the washing machine in case you need
I recommend
Andy is a wonderful host! He showed us where are finest dining places and entertainment. The apartment is indeed lovely! It was very cozy and big.
Thank you Andy!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We had a wonderful time in Prag in a wonderful apartement that was located close to all main places. Andy gave us helpful hints where to go, where to Park the car for free and where to enjoy the more original Prag apart from the crowded places.
We really enjoyed. Thank you, Andy
It was all super!!! Very friendly!!!! Thank you!!!
Great apartment for a family wanting to stay close to the city center but preferring to spend the nights in a nice and quiet area. Andrew made us feel very welcome and gave us tips and recommendations we found out to be spot on.

My grandchildren and I already have an established Homegrown Tomato/Produce stand business going next to our restaurant, all located on a major traffic artery. Some of our gardens and apiary can be seen from the road. We've done quite well with the veggies this year and our customers are asking when our honey will be ready. We are very close to extracting and bottling our first crop from 4 hives.
My questions are as follows;
1. What is best size and type container, plastic or glass, for a roadside stand, and are the little plastic honey bears really worth it? (frankly, they look tacky to me), IMHO.
2. What are the going retail prices for top grade hobby honey in attractive packaging and labeling?
3. Who makes the most attractive custom labels?
Please be freely forthcoming with your opinions. The more the merrier.
