LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA -- On Aug. 24th 08, I return my less than 6 month old Samsung PC monitor fully expecting them to replace it that day with a new one being this one had completely died and I had also purchased the 4 yr. extended warranty plan and was led to believe upon purchasing this that if anything were to happen to my monitor that could not be repaired there that I would be promptly presented with a new one that very day... What a FOOL I was to believe that! I was informed that it was perfectly fine and could be repaired but would have to be sent away to their service center.
I was upset right away that I'd have to be without this monitor which of course meant I could not use my computer. The Geek Squad guy assured me it wouldn't be that long, a week no more than 2 weeks it would be back. He said they'd call to update me and let me know when it was ready for me to pick up. The 2 weeks went by, no call, so that Saturday I went back to the store to inquire about it. I was told it was still at the service center, they didn't know why it was still there unless they were waiting on parts, said they'd call me on Monday to let me know what was going on with it being the service center is closed on weekends and they couldn't call them until then.
Monday came and went, no call, finally on Wednesday I call them and they say they still do not know anything. The next Saturday I'm back at their store again standing in the long customer service line with all the other very unhappy people, finally after about 30 minutes or so I'm at the customer service desk and they're looking up my account and the status on my monitor. Guess what?!? They don't even know where it is at this point because the service center they sent it to shut down and they THINK maybe it was sent to the center in New York but they're not for sure.
"Oh, great! So they've lost my monitor now??" I said. "Oh no ma'am we don't know that at all, it's just we don't know and we can't call the center being it's the weekend, we'll call you Monday to let you know." Of course they never call me, I ended up calling them only to be given the run around again. My husband then got into it and went to their store where they then said they were going to REPLACE the monitor... oh but not right then. Oh no, they are now waiting on a authorization number from the Samsung factory before they can hand over a new monitor to me.
My husband about flipped out at this point, demanded to see the head store manager, department manager and whoever else cared to hear a piece of his mind. How bad for their business as other customers were standing around hearing all this and getting a true sense of how Best Buy treats their loyal customers, very badly. My husband left the store that day empty handed of course because Best Buy doesn't care about their customers at all or they wouldn't be treated as badly as we have been treated.
After he cooled down he called them a few days later after they had not called us on the "we will call you on Monday", to ask if they now had the authorization number so we could pick up this monitor and end all this nonsense. No, they still did not have the number, I mean good grief how hard is it to get a number?? My husband tried so hard to remain calm on the phone so he asked the lady (department manager I think she was) if there was any way possible being we have waited so long that we could just come and pick up the monitor they owe us and let them worry about getting the number when they get it. She said she would ask her manager when he got in that afternoon if they could do that for us and that she would call us back one way or the other. We never received that phone call...
It's now 5 days later and still no call. I tried twice calling them today only for the person who answered to tell me they'd have to connect me to the Geek squad department. The phone rang so many times it finally stopped and disconnected me, no one would even pick up the phone to talk to me. I'm debating on whether or not to make the 40 mile trip back there tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be given the run around and lied to again.
I'm just so tired of wasting my time being upset and angry at these people. I feel so very violated, as if I've been robbed in some way. I am seriously beginning to wonder if Best Buy will EVER get this authorization number and if I will ever get this monitor at all.
Seems they have ALL the control plus several hundred of my dollars that they refuse to refund to me. It's been almost 2 months now and they have done absolutely NOTHING for me in all this because they do NOT care, this became oh so clear to me by the way they treat you and talk to you when you go into their store or call them. They will say anything to shut the complaining customer up and get them out of the store, even if it's the biggest lie ever!
UPDATE: 10/18/08. Another trip back to Best Buy today, they are now telling me it's pretty much out of their hands as they are now waiting on approval from the Samsung manufacturer for them to replace it. "The ball is in Samsung's court" is what I was told and they have no idea how long it will be before I get the monitor replaced, I'm thinking NEVER! And they refuse to refund my money, so what now?? I'm wondering how long legally they are allowed to keep my property from me? (Sigh) I'm so frustrated... I left their store in tears today!
DOVER, DELAWARE -- In November 2005 I purchased a 50" LG plasma TV from Best Buy in Dover, DE. (#842). In May 2008 while watching the TV there were three very loud "bangs" and the unit shut down. I called the warranty service and the TV was repaired (cost of $700.00). On 12-27-09 while watching the TV there was a very loud "bang" and the unit again shut down. I called the warranty service and was advised that the extended warranty expired 10-31-09.
I was very upset as I had not been afforded the opportunity to renew the warranty for this TV. I explained the situation to the warranty rep, stating the TV had blown up twice within a year and a half and I was not afforded a renewal on the extended warranty. Nothing they could do. The afternoon of 12-27, I went to the Dover DE store and requested to speak to the store manager.
I was advised that the assistant manager was there. I asked to speak to him but he refused to come out and speak to me. He sent messages out to me via a store associate. I was told that there was nothing that could be done at the store level and that I would have to contact the corporate office. On Monday 12-28-09, I called the corporate office and after being transferred to the wrong department four times I finally spoke to a gentleman by the name of **. ** advised me that there was nothing that Corporate could do and it would have to be handled at the store level (here comes the runaround).
I then called the Dover DE store and spoke to the manager his name is **. I explained everything to Mr. ** and he asked me exactly what I wanted from him. I explained the story to him and that I have been a loyal customer to Best Buy for many years and have spent many thousands of dollars with the company. Mr. ** advised me that company loyalty means nothing. Considerations of this nature are not based on loyalty of the amount of money one spends with Best Buy.
He did however say that he would see what he could do and he would get back with me. He again asked why I thought Best Buy should help me with matter and I again explained that I paid $ 4000.00 for this television and it had blown up 2 times in a year and one half. I feel that this unit is defective and should be repaired at no expense to me. I also explained that I feel I was not afforded the renewal warranty due to a "payout" being made on this unit. He assured me that that was not the case.
It has been over 10 days and I have not heard from Mr. **. I believe Best Buy should stand behind this unit. The overall cost to Best Buy would be in insignificant on the overall scope of things and would go to great lengths in restoring confidence in the company.
MARYSVILLE, OHIO -- My Sony $2,000 computer was less than 4 months old the hard drive went out. I lost a almost a 900.00 due to all my programs were gone. Took about three weeks to fix. Then after another 19 months the computer was damaged due to water. I had water damage warranty. They said the hard drive should be fine. They sent it out for repair.
It would be two or three weeks for repair. In almost 6 weeks the computer was returned, completely cleaned of any memory. When they sold me my external hard drive for a couple hundred dollars they said it would automatically set to run on Monday I wouldn't have to do anything. Well they put the memory from the external hard drive, it had almost nothing on it. It didn't work properly.
I lost about 1,100 dollars in programs, my business was online and I lost all my business information and 3,000 pictures. I am a photographer. All repairs was not even fixed the cd rom wouldn't open plus the door on the other side was broke. Now to top it all the computer was useless when it was returned due to no arrow would come up. Geek squad once again said we have to ship it out, it will take another 5 to 6 weeks. I became very upset.
Then the manager came up with this idea they would exchange computers. I thought great. Until they said, "Do you want warrant?" I said, "I have warranty left on my other computer." So instead of pro rating the amount, I was told I had to buy a new warranty.
To match the old warranty it would cost me $400.00. Plus they charged me another hundred for programming the computer and adding virus protection. That way when I got it home it would be ready to use. Now thinking I have a computer finally, I went home attempted to plug in my wireless card. To top it off the card didn't fit the new computer.
Went to Best Buy not only was the manager rude by stating having a computer with that old style air card is like buying a TV with a tube! Yet he had seven or more models with the same air card available for sale. So now he tells me he can get me the right air card through Verizon if I pay 200.00. The best part of all is the fact the new computer they made the exchange with was cost $635.00.
Then I was told they were bending over backwards for us. I said, "You think?" When I took out a piece of paper and pen MR. ** says, "This was done through his manager and writing his name down would do no good." I explained to him, "I knew his name, I was just writing down his rude remarks." He informed me he was not rude.
I asked why my husband came to me and asked why this guy was being so rude? My husband never says anything yet he found this employee (that called himself the manager) to be rude to his wife. This will be my last dealing with Best Buy. The price I paid for the first computer totaled over 2,000.
This 635.00 free computer has not cost me 700.00 not counting the loss of the hard drive memory. This is a nightmare and I am at a lost how in times like these Best Buy, a company I thought highly of, could treat good customers so poorly.
LANSDALE, PENNSYLVANIA -- Today, 7-5-07, is the fifth time best buy has a technician coming "yet again" to our home to fix our TV (a Toshiba) "this year, for the same problem"! We had bought the "wonderful extended warranty plan that is glamorized & pushed by the cashier on how great it is". Ahem. The circuit board is bad, the colors go from green, to orange, to black and white... And at all times of the day, the screen will actually "blow up", meaning, if you are reading the title to something on a show or news, you won't see the writing (sometimes the people) because that have "spread" across the TV!
They are "well aware of all of this" (now, playing, "pass the tech game"). The last technician stated, and I quote "Even with the extended warranty, we have to replace a part 4 times, and if all those don't work, then we will replace the television!" He was here four times, put parts in twice, bad parts each time, so today... a different tech is coming.
The last technician, apparently got into a squabble with his boss at best buy, regarding our television. He, himself felt this tv should be replaced. Instead, his boss made him remind us "four bad" part installs & you get a new tv, as well, was having him contact "Toshiba" to see if "any newer parts were made for our model" that best buy was not informed about! (Never heard anything on that!)
Today, got the call from today's tech, coming btw 11 & 1, he had no idea he was the fifth visit for this tv! He was very surprised, and "cannot wait" to see if today's parts will work! Oh, and here's more "fun" to this... last year, due to the "same problems", a tech was sent, he took the tv to have it fixed, two weeks later got it back... it lasted less than one week!
I think we have suffered enough, the cost of the tv, the damn warranty, uneducated technicians, since last year 7 visits for the same problem, let only our personal time being re-arranged for them to come. Best buy owes us a damn television! Bought at best buy - Montgomeryville, PA. Have had for 4 years.
I am now contacting the bbb, and every consumer fraud department regarding best buy, their warranties are falsified when bought, and this is completely at this point, "unacceptable". And not once has the store manager in Montgomeryville, PA contacted us, assuring us in any way, shape or form.
LEWISVILLE, TEXAS -- I have a Galaxy note phone. I accidentally dropped my phone and broke the screen. I went to Best Buy to return the phone because I have insurance on the phone. When I went to return the phone the Best Buy associate wanted to give me a loaner phone. I didn't have a problem with that. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN HE TOLD ME that I HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS JUST TO GET MY PHONE BACK. That's ridiculous. Really 2 weeks just to receive my phone back, really. BEST BUY doesn't tell you that when you purchased the insurance. They tell you if something happens to your phone you don't have to wait to get a replacement for your phone. YOU CAN REPLACE IT THE SAME DAY.
Well that's a lie. WELL THE LOANER PHONE was REALLY DIRTY, AND BEAT UP. I ask the associate "could I just keep my phone until MY PHONE comes in", he told me that was fine. And HE TOLD ME AGAIN THAT my phone would not be in until 2 weeks. The associate told me that if my phone wasn't in 2 weeks, that Best Buy would give me a new one. So he processed the order and gave me a copy of the requisition order, and told me it would be 2 weeks. I AGAIN asked him that this would not be a problem since I kept my phone, he assured me NO THAT IT WASN'T A PROBLEM.
Well 18 days later and no phone!!! The manager ALLEN TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO!!! Like I TOLD HIM THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. This was an error on their part. Allen just didn't care!!! That just let me know that customer service and appreciating customer service is not appreciated or maybe it's because I'm a B.F.
We purchased a new LG Washer & Dryer in July, 2004 along with a 5 year Performance Service Plan (PSP). In the past 2 years, we have spent over $15,000 in this same Best Buy store, so you would think that they would value us as customers. The washing machine first quit in June - displaying an LE error code. Since we were covered under the PSP, it didn't cost us anything to have the technician came out and replace a sensor. We did however have to take a day off work to let them in.
Anyway, after a few days the machine quit again, once again displaying the same LE code. And once again, they came out and replaced the same part. This happened a 3rd time before the PSP expired, and once again we took a day off, the technician came out, and they replaced the same part. I have repeatedly suggested that they are not fixing the cause of the problem - that SOMETHING is causing this sensor to burn out! Nobody listens.
At this time I received an offer to "renew" the PSP, however the renewal policy does not contain the 'No Lemon' clause. Despite this, I renewed it for 3 more years. As you might expect, we have had this same problem 2 more times. The 4th time the technician told us that "If it happens one more time, we will replace this machine - no questions asked." Well, the next time happened.
We got a different technician, and he DID submit a request that the machine be replaced. The answer that he relayed to us today was that "There is no way that they will EVER replace this machine - and if they have to come out and repair it 500 more times over the next 3 years, then that is what they will do!" Where is the common sense with this Company? Do they place no value on Customer Satisfaction? Based on the most recent 3 months, they would rather spend $5,000 fixing this machine for the next 3 years and have an irate customer than they would to replace a $900 wash machine and have a happy customer?
I realize that under the terms of the renewal PSP, they have no contractual obligation to replace this wash machine. However, they do have a contractual obligation to fix this machine, and they have proven over the past several months that they cannot live up to this contractual obligation. They need to do the logical and right thing - and that is to replace the machine. In the long haul, that will save them a lot of money, and it will keep a customer happy - one that has spent a LOT of money in their store during a recession!
SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased the extended warranty service for my 60" Sony TV (which has failed twice now). Lately, the screen has taken on a decidedly green color. I called and made an appointment for Best Buy's Geek Squad to come look at it, on a Tuesday afternoon. I took the afternoon off from work to wait for the guy, but he never showed up. I called back, and was on hold for about 20 minutes while the woman tried to find the guy's cell phone number. (Why didn't she have this information already?)
Finally, she tried to call him, but he wasn't answering. She said he had missed ALL of his appointments that day. The earliest they could get someone else out was Tuesday a week later. I called on the Saturday prior to this Tuesday just to see if they had any cancellations. The woman told me I didn't even have the appointment that I made on Tuesday, and that I'd have to wait an additional week after that!
I threatened to picket their store with a sign warning people to avoid buying the extended warranty plan. Finally, (after waiting a long time) I got to talk to a supervisor. He was mystified as to how my appointment could have vanished, and told me that I should have received some parts yesterday that had been mailed to my house. I said, "That was nuts; I wouldn't know what to do with the parts." He studied the "notes" a lot longer, and finally restored (supposedly) my upcoming Tuesday appointment, and then determined that it was the technician who was to have received the parts, and that somehow, when the incident log was updated to reflect the arrival of the parts, it deleted the scheduled appointment!
This call took 27 minutes and 31 seconds (my phone tells me how long a call took when I disconnect). That's a total of an hour on the phone above what it took to log the original complaint. Maybe we should think twice before giving companies who are going out of business trillions of dollars of taxpayer money!
CITY OF INDUSTRY, CALIFORNIA -- This morning, I tried my luck at the Best Buy in City of Industry to purchase a Nintendo Wii System. After given a number which guaranteed a system, I still have to stand in line for more than 2 hours before it was my turn to purchase the system. After selecting additional accessories, I was at the register ready to pay. As soon as I stepped in front of the register, the sales associate, named **, started to push the extended warranty on me and would not give up, even after I expressed repeatedly that I am not interested.
After the items were rung up and before I paid, she asked again. When I said no once more, she then volunteered the information that the Nintendo Wii is a very unreliable product, and many of the customers return them to the store. And if I had the extended warranty, I could have the system replaced for free. I again said no. After I paid, when she handed me the system, she let go of the system before I can hold on to the box. And yes, the system dropped to the floor.
I was extremely upset, and she had the gall to tell me that "It was not my fault that you could not hold on to it!" Yes, there were 4 other employees standing around and did nothing to curb her behavior! [FYI – the system was marked with my ticket number, and there was not another one to exchange.]
This is the last time I would buy anything from Best Buy! It is not a surprise that their sales figure are going down! With an employee like **, who needs competitors! I would buy my electronics gear from Costco or Frys' from now on. Stay away from Best Buy at City of Industry.
I would never buy either an Xbox or an extended warranty from Best Buy. Trust me, the troubles I went through were not worth it. I bought an Xbox in 2007, the best they had $500.00 I bought the extended warranty. Although my son used it only about once per week it began giving us trouble in March of 2009. I took it to Best Buy and for the next three months it was in and out of Best Buy for repairs. It would work for a couple of weeks and then die.
After four times, not three, they agreed to give me the cheapest Xbox they had on the shelf ($179.00). I insisted that I had paid $500.00 for the original and should get the best Xbox they had which was still only about $300.00. They refused! After much argument, they finally agreed to give me the second best Xbox, about $229.00, but only if I agreed to buy an extended warranty for it at another cost of about $80.00.
As luck would have it, in August of 2010 that Xbox went. I took it to Best Buy and they told me it was still under manufacturer's warranty and there was nothing Best Buy could do for me. I will have to deal with the manufacturer. My experience with Best Buy has been dismal at best. DON'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM BEST BUY!
I had a TV replaced by BB that they had bricked, it took 9 months for them to do, by this time the TV was 13 months old cost was 3400.00 with calibration that ruined TV. When TV was replaced, the manager of the store told me that my extended warranty 450.00 would transfer to the new TV. Then they came back later and told me it would not because it was 13 months old. I had been working on this for 9 months. So Best Buy had gotten over 1500.00 of my money for their mistakes. This just does not seem right. Their motto should be BEST BUY STEALS YOUR MONEY BEST!

Watch your step. The floor might be slippery from all these drooling political consultants, an occupation noted for its lack of self-control.
Which is another reason you should be careful where you put your feet. Some of those puddles may not be saliva.
Nearly every campaign adviser in existence is frothing at the mouth (or elsewhere) at the prospect of getting involved in the 2012 US Senate race in Maine. That unrestrained enthusiasm (hey, watch the shoes) isn't due to the strength of the field for the seat being given up by Republican US Senator Olympia ("Vanishing Center") Snowe. It's because every potential candidate has such obvious flaws that doing opposition research should be easier than mopping up the floor.
Before the entire state ends up awash in bodily fluids, let me cite a few of the would-be senators' shortcomings, starting with the Democrats.
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree of Maine's 1st District spent a ton of money in 2002 running against GOP Senator Susan Collins. Pingree won in Portland and lost just about everywhere else. This time around, she has even more cash (courtesy of her hedge-fund-manager hubby, who also owns part of a major daily newspaper), but still hasn't built a base north of her home on North Haven. If she runs — no sure thing — she starts as the Dem frontrunner — mostly by default.
John Baldacci doesn't have to worry about name recognition in the 2nd District. He's known and disliked everywhere. The former governor left office in 2011 with an approval rating that looked like a school-zone speed limit. In his eight years in power, he couldn't balance the budget and bungled health-care reform. Giving him the nomination would be the equivalent of the Democratic Party putting its head in the oven and turning on the gas.
Matt Dunlap, former incompetent secretary of state, has brought those same skills to his campaigning. He started out running for the Senate, switched to the House, then jumped back to the Senate. Ignoring him would be a kindness.
Benjamin Pollard is one of the many misguided souls engaged in this enterprise for reasons neither they nor anyone else can explain.
Now, the Republican senatorial hopefuls:
Secretary of State Charlie Summers has run for Congress three times, most recently in 2008 when he lost to Pingree. No wonder he thinks Maine is rife with voter fraud. Summers used to be a moderate, but, of late, has tried to appear otherwise.
State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin stays in his post only because he doesn't seem to care if he violates the state Constitution by engaging in private business. He also has problems with ethics rules and, oddly enough, the Tree Growth Law. Told Poliquin was running for the Senate, a prominent Republican said, "I think part of his brain is missing."
Attorney General Bill Schneider is smart, likable, conservative, and the GOP establishment's choice. He's never publicly displayed the lust for power that drives Summers and Poliquin, so why's he hanging around with those bozos?
Former state Senate President Rick Bennett is poised and intelligent, but the last time he ran for office (Congress in the 2nd District in 1994), he lost to Baldacci. That's tough to live down. He also may be too moderate to win a GOP primary in a year when the right-wing fanatics are stirred up.

Discussion in 'January 2007' started by max, Dec 9, 2006.
i JUST WANT TO DIE..IF THERE WAS ANY GAME WHERE i DONT CARE WHO WINS...ITS THIS ONE!!!!!
I certainly care. Of course I still love Ben, but I'm also still a Pistons fan.
gET BACK IN THE CHAT ROOM!
LOL...be there in a minute, HQ. What's up with DLev, pining for the chat to open 45 minutes early and then not showing up?
I've got some mixed feelings. Always want to see the Stones win, but if we're going to lose one, I don't mind this game. Maybe it will wipe some of the smugness off of Eli Zaret and several veteran Pistons. I don't expect Ben to do much, the Pistons are a jump shooting team without a consistent threat to dribble drive. Here's to a good game, a well played match. No excuses.
is it me or is this game taking forever to start
I want to see Ben do well, for the same reason I want to see Isiah do well with the Knicks. I don't like to see people turn on players who once did so much for the Pistons. The Basketball Jesus crowd does enough of that already.
We are playing at a very low level as I mentioned here before--since the New Jersey game. We got blitzed by a total jump shooting team. No way Rip will carry us like a Kobe and the coach needs to adjust to this fact. Blalock cannot score and Joe needs to take this into account. Murray seems to be only a one on one player. They jammed up Tay tonight and he seemed non-existant on offense. The only bright spot is Maxiel.
Jeez did the Pistons get spanked tonight. The closest they got was one point in the 2nd quarter but basically a blow-out game from the opening tip. It's so obvious our point guard play is weak right now with Flip Murray no way no how an even servicable back-up for Chauncey. I have to believe that Sheed is hurt because he's just not playing the way he's capable of even with his cocky attitude. The bench got minutes and Delfino certainly made some horrible plays (especially fouling Gordon on a 3 point jump shot) but he's active and he boards and is putting energy out there. Maxiell continues to develop and give him, Delfino and whoever we trade Flip Murray for some major minutes and the bench will be there come playoff time. Tay seems to be playing tired and are all those major minutes he's logging starting to wear on him? I'm glad Ben Wallace had a good game but tonight's win was brought to you by Nocioni and Deng, young players that developed because they got playing time in the system --- you're reading the board Joe!
Quick player notes: Murray: Ronald Murray Hamilton: shot well, scored well, played good defense, distributed the ball a little but mostly isolated himself Prince: see Murray Wallace: good help defense, decent post scoring, couldn't keep up with quicker slashing/jumpshooting forwards on the perimeter Mohammed: a good game for Nazr. Not much impact, but nonetheless a good game. Hit his jumpshots, made his free throws, blocked some shots. Delfino: led the team in rebounding. Two unforced turnovers, hit some shots, missed some shots, some good defense, some bad defense. The offense had decent flow when run through him. McDyess: missed his shots. Decent defensive effort and rebounded well. Maxiell: hit his shots; missed his free throws. Good offensive rebounding. Awful defensive rebounding. Came up with an assist. Blalock: continues to spiral out of NBA-quality player level, but played better than Murray. Dupree: brought energy and made his layups. Johnson: committed a hard foul. Davis: DNP. The Parabolic Zone Defense:
Rasheed had it going defensively anyway, but i've noticed lately they don't really pass to him that much until the 3rd(?). In the 1st quarter it's Rip chucking (although making alot) and no other starter really gets into a rythm or touches the ball. The ball movement is non-existent. Tay is really off. This guard-oriented offense sucks. We need to play inside out, or at least drive and kick. Our forwards are not involved at all, and our defense is (still) awful. Again DD got a DNP, and Max needs more minutes. I don't think we're this bad just b/c Chauncey is out. All in all and emabarrassing performance and loss.
Took a nap at halftime. Woke up to see the score 88-68. Completed nap.
Piston fans, This is the level we have been playing at. The Bulls exposed it. We have individuals that show bursts of energy but not the team as a whole. I think the guys are taking some time off in a way. The Bulls are a total jump shooting team and it didn't matter. Maxiel should play and play. He does things we have no other guy do. The point guard situation is atrocious. Rip cannot carry the team and the coach asking him to points to the lack of real offensive movement in the system.
i'll get back to the low down...DALLAS JUST MISSED A 5 YARD FGWITH A MIN LEFT...AND I CALLED IT....OOHHH MYYY!
We lost because "we didn't get into our offense very well", and because "we didn't knock down some shots".
THE DIRTY LOW DOWN....Flip SAUNDERS The worse coached game since he's been here. No preparation. No heart. No getting in his teams face. if he does, who listens. when Rip and Sheed say its over, nobody else on this team is strong enough to say different. Ive been in the Army with guys like Sheed. they try to take over the whole tent. This is now THE PORTLAND SYNDROME. " syndrome..tweedledeedum..humdrum..dont succomb..."
For those of you who didn't care who won, obviously the Piston players didn't care either. The Bulls outhustled the pistons from the jump and I am surprised they were still in it at halftime. But oh boy after halftime it was a full onslaught from the Bulls as the Pistons could not hit field goals or free throws. I am not sure if we would have won with CB in there or not, but definitely Blaylock and Murray are not the answers. Murray shot 1-9 and Balylock 0-3 with no assists in 17 minutes of play. Can he even shoot? Our starting forwards Tay and Wallace were clearly outplayed by Deng and Nocioni by the tune of 51-16 points wise. Didn't Prince at one point miss 3 or 4 FT in a row. There was a graphic on NBA TV that inducated that Sheed had 5 double-doubles before Thanksgiving and ZERO since!!! Deng had his way with the Pistons interior defense and even Big Ben got off with an assortment of dunks, layups and set shots as the Pistons failed to cover him... Mohamad and Maxiel seem to have been only big men able to score inside as the Bulls interior defense with Ben probably playing a sesson high 39 mins contested everything in the that critical thrid qtr. Not sure what the issue is with Davis, but what are we saving him for? I assume Dumars was at the game and he better start thinking about somebody who can run this offense when Billups is resting because any team as decent or better than the Bulls will give us trouble in any seven game series. Boy where are Carlos Arroyo and Smush Parker when we need them?? We miss LB too!!! Enough about the backup PG, we got a problem up front with the starting forwards. Even Chris McCoskey indicated that Sheed is just going through the motions, but what happen to the Prince of 2003-2005? Melo is starting to look better and better.:( Out of first place now, one win in the last 5 games and 1-4 within our division. Should be able to pick up victories in the next four games, but any of them putting through a collosal effort can beat us if we play soft in the middle.
High assists low turnovers are gone because Chauncey is gone.Horrible coaching by Flip. Didn't prepare the teamHorrible play calling. We were in the game when Sheed got the ball. So why would we stop giving it to him. We would of won if Sheed got the ball.Missed bunnies by Pistons, made jumpers by Bulls. Won't happen too often, but that's all the Pistons fault.Tay is really annoying me right now. I don't know if it's the play calling or not, but he made himself look like a fool out there.This team just won't get anywhere if they don't get Tay, and Sheed involved. I'll go even further and tell you they need to get the ball to Nazr too, he can put the ball in the hoop.I'm glad Chauncey wasn't playing. No need to get the injury worse. Cleveland has taken a 1 game lead over the Pistons now, and Chicago is only .5 away from the Pistons as well.

Restaurants busy with powerless customers looking for hot meal
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Power outages leave precious few options for people trying to get a hot meal, and local restaurants that have power are getting crowded.
Business at the Sunrise Diner in Allentown has been non-stop since Monday. The slam from Sandy means a surge in business.
"Well, it's a good half an hour now. I'd say it's almost 40 minutes," said William Boandl.
Folks walking in the door for some heat and a hot meal Wednesday were greeted with a wait. But most people seemed to be okay with it.
"Hey it's better than sitting at home with nothing to do, right?" puzzled Deb Gress.
"I don't mind," added Frieda Yost. "What else are you going to do? Where you going to go?"
Others walked out, deciding instead to try somewhere else. But long lines formed all day at local eateries that opened their doors.
"No matter where you go it's a long line. It's all over," explained Boandl. "Too many of 'em aren't open at all."
Even some restaurants able to serve food found it hard to keep the fridge and shelves stocked. The packed tables made it hard for them to keep up.
"Our roll delivery has not gotten here all week because their bakery is shut down," explained Darto's owner Stephanie Dartouzos. "So we got some supplies delivered that they brought to us, but we've been out looking for rolls."
Billy's Downtown Diner owner Billy Kounoupis was busy Wednesday, placing food orders. The Bethlehem hot spot just got its lights back on minutes before our crew showed up.
"Earlier today, I brought in my crew and we worked with no lights on," said Kounoupis.
After having no power for three days, he was forced to toss out nearly $12,000 worth of food.
"Probably around 4,000 eggs, about 100 pounds of chicken and about 80 pounds of salmon."
Billy's Downtown Diner will be open Thursday morning.

Reviews of this property
Apartamento muy céntrico, ideal para quien quiera alojarse en el corazón de Alfama (hay que saber bien donde se aloja uno, porque el barrio puede no resultar del agrado de todo el mundo). A mí me encantó el barrio y por tanto la ubicación del apartamento, cuyas vistas sobre el estuario del Tajo y sobre los tejados de Alfama, son increíbles. Totalmente equipado y todo funcionaba perfectamente. Amabilidad extraordinaria del anfitrión, puntualidad y seriedad en la recepción.
Nettes kleines Apartment mit schönem Blick über Alfama. Hübsch eingerichtet, relativ gut gelegen, gute Ausstattung (WaMa, SpüMa, Herd, Küchenzeile, Mikrowelle, AC, kleiner TV, LTE-Hotspot). Der Preis ist wegen der Aussicht gerade noch ok (es gibt aber keinen Balkon oder Terasse). Es war nachts ruhig.
Einzige kleine Kritikpunkte waren das sehr enge Bad ohne Ablagemöglichkeiten und Haken für Handtücher. Große Leute müssen sich bestimmt auch dauernd bücken wegen der Dachschrägen.
Die Vermietungsfirma war nett und hilfsbereit.
Achtung: Zwei Taxifahrer konnten mit der Adresse nichts anfangen, am besten einen Ausdruck der Karte mitnehmen.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Great apartment in a perfect location. Highly recommended!
We had a very nice stay in an amazing apartment in an amazing city. Very good contact with the host before and during the travel.
10/10 would book again.
Although it has been some time, I remember very well that it was a great experience to stay at this appartment for some days. We even stayed longer than intended and that was no problem at all. Beautiful view when sitting on the rooftop at night or day. The slanted walls throughout the whole appartment give it a funky feeling, but is a bit inconvenient for very tall people. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a Lisboa city experience, as it is very central and close to most sights.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Absolutely wrong described Apartment: not quiet !!! otherwise very stylish, but very non-functional. Loud, hot, not really be ventilated because of the noise ...; Floors and great mattress great, but bed too narrow. No shelf next to it ..
Absolut falsch beschriebene Wohnung : NICHT ruhig!!! ansonsten sehr stylish, aber sehr unfunktional. Laut, heiß, nicht wirklich lüftbar wegen dem Lärm...; Fußböden toll und Matratze toll, aber Bett zu schmal. Keine Abstellfläche daneben..
Upsides - Absolutely amazing location. Beautiful apartment. Friendly staff. Bottle of wine on arrival. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.
Downsides - hot water service would heat up once, then shutdown and had to be reset 2 hours prior to every shower. Pillows were really flat and little. Tried to charge extra 30 euros/night when I requested a 3rd bed to be made up. Left waiting for an hour after arranging the arrival time by email and had to make an extra phone call. No hand towels in bathrooms. Had to buy more toilet paper. A partial roll in each bathroom is not sufficient for a 4 days stay for 3 people!
Very welcome. Many explanations on life ã Lisbon, good restaurants. The good addresses ...
No problem. The apartment is perfect ã all points of view.
We were very satisfied.
Très bon accueil . Beaucoup d'explications sur la vie ã Lisbonne , les bons restaurants. Les bonnes adresses ...
Aucun problème . L'appartement est parfait ã tous les points de vue .
Nous avons été très satisfaits .
Perfect location of strategic sightseeing. Apartment with every comfort with some small defect ... a drain in the bathroom not working, motor outside the air conditioner if lit does not collect water with rain falling in the tables in the restaurant below, lack of soap and detergents. Solved these minor inconveniences I would say that the accommodation is absolutely perfect. Comfortable living room with access to all the TV except the Italian. Silent on the 4th floor. What remain perplexed is the commission of Wimdu that seems exaggerated compared to the actual cost of the apartment (€ 85?!?)
Perfetta ubicazione dell'appartamento strategica per visita della città. Appartamento con tutti i confort con qualche piccolo difetto riscontrato...uno scarico del bagno non funzionante, motore esterno del condizionatore che se acceso non raccoglie l'acqua con caduta a pioggia nei tavoli del ristorante sottostante, mancanza di detersivi e sapone. Risolti questi piccoli inconvenienti direi che l'alloggio è assolutamente perfetto. Soggiorno comodo con accesso a tutte le TV tranne l'italiana. Silenzioso al 4°piano con ascensore. Ciò di cui rimango perplesso è la provvigione di Wimdu che mi sembra esagerata rispetto al reale costo dell'appartamento (€ 85?!?)

Friends of Glacier victim react to newlywed's release
MISSOULA, Mont. - Thursday afternoon in Missoula a federal court magistrate ruled that Jordan Linn Graham, accused of pushing her new husband off a cliff to his death, will be released from custody as she awaits a potential trial.
It was just before 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon that NBC Montana learned Graham would be released from jail and be allowed to return home to Kalispell – pending second degree murder charges.
Shortly after her release we learned the U.S. Attorney's office wants the judge to reconsider and put her back behind bars.
We have heard mixed reactions to Graham's release and we reached out to the people closest to the case.
Friends and family of Cody Lee Johnson tell us they are shocked and can't comprehend how the person accused of killing their loved one is allowed to walk free.
Friend and co-worker Cameron Frederickson tells us he doesn't understand why Jordan Graham was released from custody.
"His mom has to sit at home knowing that the woman that Cody loved betrayed him and took his life, took her son, but yet she's able to go home and be with her family," Frederickson tells NBC Montana.
"I don't know how you can let someone who comes to you and says 'Hey I murdered this person, I'm completely aware of it, I could have done something else but I didn't and now I'm going to go home and relax,'" Frederickson said.
We also caught up with Johnson's friend Robert Zunick, who tells us the case is a travesty of justice.
"I understand the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, but obviously she stated in that affidavit that she had pushed him with both hands in anger -- well what if she gets angry at somebody else?" says Zunick.
Zunick tells us the worst part is knowing that Johnson's family is suffering.
"Watching other friends and family is tough and I know that it's been tough on his mother and my thoughts and prayers are with her and the rest of his family," says Zunick.
People in the public have mixed reactions. Viewer Glory Lawson wrote on our Facebook page, "Innocent until proven guilty is what the legal system upholds…She is not considered a threat to the public at large…The legal system's job is to seek out the reasonable doubt to make sure no one is wrongly incarcerated."
But for Frederickson the whole situation is mind-boggling.
"There are a lot of irate people right now," he says. "A lot of people are in the same situation -- they don't understand how that decision can be made."
NBC Montana will continue to follow this story and bring you the latest details as we learn more.

Kreitz artist of the month
Jessica Kreitz was named the Pequot Lakes High School Art Club Artist of the Month for February.
I am 17 and live in Breezy Point with my parents, Jeff and Julie Kreitz, and my younger brother, Jack, 15.
I love to draw, play basketball, softball and snowboard. I have always loved art because of all the possibilities that come with it. It is also something I can get lost in for hours. Next fall I plan to attend the University of Wisconsin-Stout and major in art/industrial design.
Ever since I was little I loved art. My dad, grandpa and grandma are all artists and have made their living off of mostly fine art. I started drawing and welding when I was very young and ever since then it has become a hobby for me and something I do almost regularly. Whatever type of mood I am in, I can get lost in a piece. My family enjoys art just as much as I do, and I hope to keep it with me the rest of my life.

TCAP scores up across the state
Tennessee students have tougher education standards to meet, and it's paying off.
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman says students have shown three consecutive years of improvement on the TCAP tests (Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program), putting Tennessee on track to become the fastest-improving state educational system in the nation. He says they did better on 22 of the 24 subjects this year than last year.
TCAP results also showed strong growth in stem subjects over 2012 scores, with proficiency percentages up by 8.7 points in algebra II and 6.4 points in biology.
More than 50 percent of students in grades 3-8 scored proficient in math, 73,000 more students than three years ago, and almost 63 percent scored proficient in science, an increase of over 50,000 students since 2010.
In addition to the increase in overall scores, this year's TCAP results also revealed a shrinking achievement gap between economically disadvantaged students and their peers.
Tennessee became one of the first states to win national race to the top funding in 2009 and has been using the funds to implement tougher standards for students.

If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure how to check or measure the dose.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose, take the medication more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.
Pain medications work best if they are used when the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.

In that case, this medication might be used for sudden (breakthrough) pain only as needed.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about using oxycodone safely with other drugs.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, watering eyes, runny nose, nausea, sweating, muscle aches) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
When this medication is used for a long time, it may not work as well. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.

Council addresses need for bypass lanes on County Road 11
Crow Wing County senior engineer Luke Wehseler visited the Breezy Point City Council Monday night, June 3, to discuss the city's request for bypass lanes on County Road (CR) 11.
The council's area of concern is the eastbound lane of CR 11 at access points on the north side of the road, where vehicles make left turns to Wildwood Court and Narveson Management Incorporated (NMI).
There is currently a left turn lane for eastbound vehicles to Eagle's Nest Baptist Church, which was constructed when CR 11 was reconstructed from Pequot Lakes to its intersection with CR 3. However, when cars go to make left turns onto Wildwood Court or NMI, they often move over to allow traffic to pass on the right, which isn't legal.
Having a bypass lane would allow traffic to move safely around those turning left into Wildwood. The county was not interested in extending the bypass to the NMI entrance because of daycare center on the south side of the road in that area.
Council member Tom Lillehei questioned the county's method for determining where bypass lanes should be constructed. He said the issue was a matter of safety.
Wehseler explained that the county uses a scoping method to make the determination, which the county performed when a corridor study was done before construction.
Lillehei asked which of the three access points gets the most traffic.
"It depends on the day," Wehseler said.
Mayor JoAnn Weaver said that the council was unhappy with how the area was constructed.
"It should have been right in the first place," she said.
The council was also concerned with the city paying for constructing bypass lanes, which are estimated at a cost of around $15,000. Wehseler said the city and county could look into cost share options.
Weaver asked that Wehseler come back to the July 1 council meeting with more information and a drawing of the area in question.
Public safety
Breezy Point Police Chief Kevin Merschman reported a total of 254 incidents for the month of May. Those included 129 traffic stops, six traffic arrests, 27 assisting another agency, 16 animal related, nine medicals and three thefts.
Merschman reported that the high number of traffic stops were due to a toward zero death campaign.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Heard that the city's wastewater treatment department received a certificate of commendation from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for exemplary effort complying with the permitting process. The department has received 31 such certificates since 1979. John Monnier and Joe Zierden were thanked for their work.
• Appointed Joseph Ayers to the planning and zoning commission. Ayers replaces Boyd Roggenbuck, who has been unable to attend meetings due to work requirements. Weaver noted that Roggenbuck leaves the commission in good standing.
• Certified a fire service charge to 8218 Ski Chalet Drive. The City of Pequot Lakes billed Breezy Point for the service when the bill was not paid by the property owner. In accordance with the city's fire contract, if a bill remains unpaid for six months it's is forwarded to Breezy Point for payment. The city's remedy is to certify the charges for service to the tax rolls.
• Chose to join the National Joint Powers Alliance.
• Approved repair to the electrical and ventilation system at the city's wastewater treatment plant. The plant is 30 years old, and the atmosphere is damp and somewhat corrosive, Monnier and Zierden reported. The total for the repairs is $5,813.

Ok tire. Overall I liked the tires until I hit a pot hole and blew the side of the tire. I wasn't going approximately 50 km/ph and I find that the tire shouldn't of burst under that condition. I find that the weakness of this tire is the flimsy side wall.
Good tire for the price, but make sure that the road surface is in good condition.

Have driven 10kms on there and should say they are very sticky in dry conditions, and are quite dangerous in wet. My Subaru AWD is the only thing helping me to stay on the road and not spin out, though it occurred a few times in sharp corners. Road noise is fairly low taking into consideration the price of tires. Great handling I should say! Overall, good experience and good value for money.

Very bad experience. Extremely bad warranty . They don't even have one explained on their site!!!!!!!!. I needed to replace them after 18 months because they started to open the thread, and ran the risk of destroying them and have an accident . Never seen something like this in 20 years. Worst purchase ever. Stay away .

Great bang for the buck if your a normal daily driver. They're not super high performance so don't expect that and you will be happy

Reviewing 225/45R17 tires I had on aftermarket rims, both purchased from 1010tires. I had these tires for 3 years putting on 45-50,000km in 3 years. (using winter tires/wheels for the colder weather driving). If It wasn't for an alignment issue that worn out the front tires to the belts I probably could've used them for 4th season, before they got to the lower wear bars. Dry road performance is quite good, they stick to the road well. so the point that they follow groves in the pavement. Rain driving was good too with reduced performance as they wore out which is normal of course. Handling, no complaints either it felt sporty and kept up with my driving. Comfort and Noise, not much to say, I don't have a luxury super quiet car and my tires were low profile (in fact my car doesn't have a muffler) so it felt a little stuff and always loud :) how I like it. There are mostly summer tires do not use them in winter if you get snow and ice. Bottom line they are good tires for not a lot of money. I replaced them 2 day ago with Cooper ZEON RS3-A on a short notice so the jury is still out on those.

I just ordered my Nucs from beebaby's,, I had the pleasure to meet Justine late last year.
I just ordered my Nucs from beebaby's,, I had the pleasure to meet Justine late last year.
I ordered from justin and am very pleased with the boxes, they are some of the nicer boxes that I have purchased! I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy woodenware.

I seem to be having a different experience with Justin. I ordered 6 mediums and a nuc about 2 months ago. The order showed up about 2 weeks later in a cardboard box without any packing to protect the boxes. I had a few ears that were broken on the boxes and the nuc lid was cracked and broken.
In any case I emailed justin and he said he'd send out replacements. That was about a month ago. Since then I've emailed again several times with no response and tried to call several times only to find the voicemail full.
To be fair it sounds like he's very busy and can't keep up. And the woodenware that wasn't damaged is very nice and his prices can't be beat. But it's a bummer that I will be building in the next week and will have to purchase another few mediums and a nuc lid to replace the damaged ones.
I placed an order a month ago and was billed to my credit card, I received a confirmation email. I have not seen my order or heard from them since. I have called 5-6 times at various times over the last two weeks and always get sent to a voicemail box that is full. I have also emailed twice starting two weeks ago with no response. I really am just looking for a shipping time estimate so I can plan for this season but because I haven't heard from anyone and have no reliable way to contact I'm wondering if I should contact my credit card company at this time. I know he is probably busy, but at least a two second email to tell me what is up would be nice. I'm really worried about this order and am considering placing with someone else so I can have my equipment in time for the season.
Yes, justin is slower to ship items, but his prices can't be beat. It took over a month to get my order, but I can understand that, he's a busy guy that didn't expect to grow as fast as he has. Be patient, and I am sure he will make things right

I'm still crossing my fingers that it will come through and have a local supplier I can get wood from if I need it, just get more and more nervous the closer I get to my bees delivery dates. I agree the prices are great and if it pulls through I will be ecstatic. Thanks for the support
I have every sympathy for being busy and his work is good. But a month without any communication is not good business to say the least. His phone goes unanswered, voicemail is full, and he has stopped returning email.
The simple fact is that I paid a good price for a product, it arrived damaged and now I will likely have to purchase a replacement from someone else. That makes his good pricing much closer to a high price after I figure in the replacement cost of boxes and a nuc lid. Buyer beware.
Send him a PM on the forums. He does respond.
He is right here on beesource.com.

What forums? Here? Do you have a screenname or link?
Cheezer32 is his screen name
Think about it....Buy American
Based upon initial feedback I ordered boxes from him back in January. Shipment was quick and quality was great. Very happy with his product and service. I recently attempted to contact him to inquire about getting more, slightly custom boxes, and could not get a reply. Two emails unanswered, so I gotta suspect that he's max'd out. I hope he pulls through in good standing and we can do business with him in the future.
I PM'd him here. I will post if I receive a response.
I am behind yes, I know everyone is getting bees soon. All the orders not shipped Monday will be immediately given a refund so you can purchase elsewhere.
In some ways I'm glad cheezer32 is behind on his orders, it shows just how much in demand his products are. I hope he can catch up and continue producing such excellent equipment at nice prices. I am hoping to be able to place a larger order with him, sometime in the future. I appreciate his product and prices enough that I'd certainly wait, if necessary, to get them.
I have a similar situation with my Nucs and queens, and am continuously working to increase my own production capacity - so I have a basic idea about how rewarding and frustrating it can be to work in the beekeeping industry. Hang in there, beekeeping needs dedicated people like you.

I just received my second order.This one was for 8 frame deeps.Quality and service on both orders was excellent.I can't build them for what he sells them for.
Thanks for the reply and pm justin. I appreciate the communication.
FWIW, I just bought 50 migratory covers and bottom boards from Justin and I know he was up till 4am finishing my order. Seems like an honest hard working young man to me. Good quality, and good prices. I'm happy I went with him.
I had a negative experience with BeeBabys that I would like to report. I placed an order in mid February, which I finally received a month later after 4 emails, 3 phone messages and very little response from beebabys. What arrived less than I ordered: I had asked for assembled painted hives, and I got assembled unpainted hives. Their customer service is terrible, their website seems down now (was up a few weeks ago) and altogether they appear untrustworthy. I will never use them again.
website itself is working fine, but the web store is closed. Its a mix up with paint. I see freaking out if its the wrong size box or half of what you ordered, but paint? Justin is a small one man operation, and if you need equiptment yesterday, order from one of the guys who has many employees. This post is now the third result on google search. Don't have to call him out to the whole world over a back order and painting mix up.

Police await autopsy in infant death investigation
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Police in Johnson City are looking into the death of a 16-month-old baby boy.
We're told emergency crews were called to an apartment complex Monday afternoon; now, investigators are waiting for answers.
Just before 1:00 Monday afternoon, emergency crews answered a call about an unresponsive baby at Knob Creek Arms Apartments on Knob Creek Road. The baby was taken to the Johnson City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Police are now investigating according to Lt. Steve Sherfey with JCPD. "[We're] taking statements, talking to some people, but it's going to depend on what we find from the autopsy results as far as cause of death," he explained.
Angelia Sliger, the manager of the apartment complex, tells us the child was at home Monday afternoon with his mother's fiancé. "They're engaged. They just got engaged. She said they've been friends since sixth grade, and then started dating," she said. "He moved in there with her to help her with the boys. He had been watching the baby during the day while she's at work."
Sliger tells us the baby's mother was at work when emergency crews were called to the apartment. "She stated that her boyfriend had stated they had been out walking and they had laid the baby down for a nap. When he went back to check on [the child], he was laying face down and not breathing," she said.
Investigators won't say if the boy had any injuries or even if the death is suspicious. "With infants it's hard to tell lots of times what's going on," Lt. Sherfey said. "That's why we wait until we have an autopsy before we really start digging into it."
Neighbors say they're working to cope with the loss of a little boy. "Our heart really breaks for her," Sliger said. "She's a hard worker and she tries to take care of her boys and to give them a home. It' s a terrible thing to know this has happened to someone like that, to anyone with a small child."
The boy's body has been sent to the Quillen College of Medicine for an autopsy.
The landlord tells us the woman's other son, a school-aged child, is staying with grandparents.

This Kid Reporter got muddy and tired after his first kids' obstacle race—and he'd do it all again!
The Spartan Kids races are obstacle-course events. They are held across the United States to promote kids fitness. In March I took part in a Spartan Kids race in Conyers, Georgia. The experience was one of a lifetime. When you run that race, and when you finish it, it is one of the greatest feelings ever, especially if you have never done it before.
The one-mile obstacle course, for kids ages 9 to 13, has four stages. The first one is the running phase, where kids run up and down a steep hill, for about a quarter-mile. Second, comes the mud hill and water, where kids climb a mud hill, and then swim to the next hill in muddy water. This happens three times. Next are the hurdles. For this part kids have to jump, climb and crawl to get through these obstacles. Finally kids climb a net and then jump down. Racers then have to repeat the same course one more time.
The best part of the race was diving into the muddy water and realizing how cold the water was! My least favorite part was running the course the second time, because after I came out of the muddy water, my shoes were considerably heavier. This made it much harder to run. I think that just running the second time was what made the race so difficult, because after you ran another quarter-mile, you had to do all the obstacles again.
The race was extremely crowded. This made me realize that this race is extremely popular. I think that this race is becoming more and more popular because when one person goes, and they love the experience, they tell their friends, and when their friends like it, they tell their friends, and the cycle keeps repeating. The Spartan Race is a great experience for anyone from age 4 through adult. Spartan's slogan is, "You'll know at the finish line." I couldn't have heard anything more true in my life!
For more on Spartan Kids, click here to read my Q&A with Joe Evans of the Kids Fit Foundation. He talks about the goals of Spartan Kids obstacle races and his role in creating them.

OSERS develops and implements policy and legislation that directly impact individuals with disabilities and their families. OSERS also plays a critical role in monitoring these laws and regulations.
Founding Law
OSERS basic founding law can be found in the following section of the U.S. Code:
U.S. Code: Title 20, Chapter 48, Subchapter II, Section 3417.
Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services
There shall be in the Department an Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, to be administered by the Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services appointed under section 3412(b) of this title. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3472 of this title, the Secretary shall delegate to the Assistant Secretary all functions, other than administrative and support functions, transferred to the Secretary under sections 3441(a)(1) of this title (with respect to the bureau for the education and training of the handicapped), 3441(a)(2)(H) of this title, and 3441(a)(4) of this title.
Laws and statutes authorizing OSERS programs and activities:
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act amendments of 1997. (IDEA)
The IDEA formula grant programs (Part B, Sections 611, and 619) assist states in providing a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment for children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 and early intervention services (Part C) for infants and toddlers birth through age two and their families.
The IDEA Part D National Program provides discretionary grants to institutions of higher education and other non-profit organizations to support research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and dissemination, technology, personnel development and parent-training and information centers.
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (Rehab Act)
This program supports vocational rehabilitation (VR) services through assistance to the states. The VR state grants program provides a wide range of services designed to help persons with physical or mental impairments, which result in a substantial impediment to employment, prepare for and engage in gainful employment to the extent of their capabilities. Services are tailored to the specific needs of the individual through an Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE).
The Education of the Deaf Act. (EDA)
The EDA supports Gallaudet University, a federally chartered, private, non-profit educational institution providing elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and continuing education programs for persons who are deaf. Gallaudet University offers a traditional liberal arts curriculum for students who are deaf and graduate programs in fields related to deafness for students who are deaf and students who are hearing. The EDA also provides support for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), which was created by Congress in 1965 to promote the employment of persons who are deaf. NTID offers a variety of technical programs at the certificate, diploma and associate degree levels. In addition, NTID students may participate in educational programs available through the host institution, the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Act to Promote Education of the Blind of March 3, 1879.
The Act supports the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) to provide high-quality educational materials to legally blind persons enrolled in educational or vocational training programs below the college level so that these students may benefit more fully from their educational programs. Materials are produced and made available free of charge to schools and states through proportional allotments that reflect the number of blind students in each state. The allotments are based on an annual census, conducted by APH, of the number of students who are legally blind in each state and are provided in the form of credits.
The Helen Keller National Center Act. (HKNC)
The Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults was created by Congress in 1969 and operates under the auspices of Helen Keller Services for the Blind, Inc. The center provides services on a national basis to individuals who are deaf-blind, their families and service providers through three component programs.
The Assistive Technology Act of 2004. (AT Act)
The Assistive Technology Program empowers individuals with disabilities to have greater control over their lives and more fully participate in their home, school, and work environments and in their communities by enhancing access to assistive technology devices and services. Assistive technology devices include such items as communication devices, adapted appliances for accessible living, environmental control devices, modified housing, adapted computers, and specialized software.
The Randolph-Sheppard Act. (Vending Facilities for the Blind)
The Vending Facility Program authorized by the Randolph-Sheppard Act (P.L. 74-732, as amended by P.L. 83-565 and P.L. 93-516, 20 U.S.C. section 107 et seq.) provides persons who are blind with remunerative employment and self-support through the operation of vending facilities on federal and other property. The program, enacted into law in 1936, was intended to enhance employment opportunities for trained, licensed blind persons to operate vending facilities. At the outset, sundry stands were placed in the lobbies of federal office buildings and post offices. The law was amended in 1954 and again in 1974 to ensure individuals who are blind a "priority" in the operation of vending facilities on federal property that include cafeterias, snack bars, miscellaneous facilities, and facilities comprised solely of vending machines.

The Victorian Women Writers Project (VWWP) began in 1995 at Indiana University and is primarily concerned with the exposure of lesser-known British women writers of the 19th century. The collection represents an array of genres - poetry, novels, children's books, political pamphlets, religious tracts, histories, and more. VWWP contains scores of authors, both prolific and rare.
Quiet since 2003, the VWWP is pleased to be back with an expanded purview that includes women writing in the nineteenth century in English. As before, the project will devote time and attention to the accuracy and completeness of the texts, as well as to their bibliographical descriptions. New texts, encoded according to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines, will adopt principles of scholarly encoding, facilitating more sophisticated retrieval and analysis.

January 27, 2014
WOODBURY, N.Y. — Tri-Ed Distribution has redesigned its Web site to make it easier for visitors to access the latest information on the company's products, services, branches and training events.
The updated site features new enhancements to improve the user experience for all visitors. For example, the firm has fully integrated its product catalog with individual product lines. The catalog also includes detailed product information from featured manufacturers.
Tri-Ed has also added configurator tools to the site to aid visitors in building systems quickly and efficiently. A new Branch Locator enables visitors to search by country/state/province and individual branch pages now feature a map and all upcoming events.
The site also details Tri-Ed's Great Expectations Rewards Program and IP-EZ Programming Service that pre-configures IP cameras for trouble-free installations.
The mobile version of the site resizes to each user's screen, regardless of the device, to deliver the same user-experience as a Web browser on a PC, according to the company.
"Our newly enhanced Web site is part of our commitment to offer not only all of the products [our customers] need but also the best in value-added services to help ensure our customers' success and profitability," Tri-Ed President and CEO Pat Comunale says.

The Lure of Minnesota's Lake Country
Manhattan Beach Lodge • Crosslake, MN

- $20 Food Voucher for Manhattan's Restaurant
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
There's a tall tale for every one of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes, but what they say about Big Trout Lake in the rustic hamlet of Crosslake is completely true—the immaculate idylls that waft in the water-born breezes amid a lakeside sunset create a scene that will simply take your breath away. Visitors will want to veer off the beaten path to hike or bike the surrounding forests of eastern white and Norway pines, stopping to soak in the solitude and search for woodland characters by following their paw and hoof prints—it's a scene that's practically ripped from a nature post card.
The Digs
A relaxing retreat on the shores of Big Trout Lake, Manhattan Beach Lodge has been attracting guests for more than 80 years with its friendly service and unique décor. Yet despite rustic touches like knotty-pine furniture and warm stone hearths in the restaurant, the lodge is dripping with luxury amenities including a lakeside spa room with a hot tub and sauna. On-site, Manhattan's Restaurant offers regional cuisine with a cultivated twist including appetizers like steak bites, ahi tuna tacos, and three-pepper poppers that prove the perfect prologue for full-plate entrées like Alaskan salmon, short ribs, and the legendary Lodge Walleye. Golfing at nearby Golden Eagle Golf Course or pontoon rentals on the lake are favorite pastimes.
"Can't say enough about what a great time we had. Beautiful rooms and scenery—all rooms face the lake!! Great food, lovely breakfast, great and helpful people. Plan to go again... "-- LivingSocial Member
