CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- Terrible experience in transferring service from one unit to another in same building/complex. Bill from original unit paid in full on 3/19 for service period 3/19-4/5. Service physically transferred to new unit on 3/20. Service at original unit not disconnected until 3/26 (told that they are short-handed). Attempted to charge me twice for partial month services at both units. Contacted Customer Service once to be explained that due to lack of disconnect for almost a week an additional 2-3 days would be necessary for that action to reflect on my account. I end up with a $200+ balance along with a friendly disconnect notice and 2 phone calls to my home on 4/5.
Contacted Customer Service again to ensure that my account showed proper credit and comments. Get automated message telling me I owe 64.55 now. Rude representative ** stated she saw the credits but wanted to know when I would pay. I indicated that the bill was not even due until 4/18 and she said she would put down that she "won't pay until the due date". I did not want an inappropriate comment on the account and asked to speak to a supervisor. Waited 5 minutes and had to hang up and called back. Got ** again. After another 5 mins wait, ** comes on the line.
After again explaining my concerns and how I felt it was inappropriate for ** to make the statement she did, ** would eventually make a comment to the effect that he would listen the tape to ensure the representative indeed made the comment. And it gets better! As I expressed to ** that his statement saying that was uncalled for (I hope someone listens to the portion of the tape with his conversation as well) he said "What else do you want me to do?" I did not raise my voice, I was not belligerent, and I did not use foul language.
I just pointed out that I felt I was a very good customer for 13 yrs who spends over $1200 with TW and hoped for a better experience when trying to do the right thing by continuing to make sure TW and I both agree the account is in good standing. ** took it upon himself to then basically say that TW settles with me each month when they provide the channels. I may not spend the most, but I do not spend the least and I would think for that amount the billing/transfer process would go a lot smoother.
** assured me he would take care of the calls that had come to my home phone already so they would stop but guess what? Just got my third call in less than 24 hrs. 3x to get resolution on being labeled a 'disconnect' when in fact the previous month bill was paid in full and the upcoming bill not even due for weeks. All I did was move the service. I get double billed, credits take weeks to appear, and 'customer service' feels that because they provide the cable customer service is negotiable.
WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA -- In late October I contacted Time Warner Cable to inquire about transferring my cable and internet service from my current residence to my new residence a few blocks away. The Time Warner representative told me that would not be a problem, to hold on to my cable box and modem, and asked for a time when a service technician could come and install it in my new home. I was headed out of state for the month, and gave the contact information of my roommate to Time Warner so they could arrange a date to transfer the service.
Upon my return in late November, I found that neither the cable nor internet was working. I contacted Time Warner, and found that my account had been terminated and a new account had been created in my roommates name. The service technician had installed a new cable box and modem, leaving my old equipment in the house. The service representative whom I had been talking with then sent a technician back to the house to determine the problem with our cable. When he arrived I asked about the old equipment and he said he could not take it with him.
Shortly thereafter I received a phone call from Time Warner stating I owed them over $400.00. I inquired about the charges, and was told they were for the cable equipment I never returned. I informed the caller that Time Warner had never told me to return the equipment and that actually I was told it was going to be used in my new home. Following that phone call I promptly returned the equipment to the Time Warner Store in the Independence Mall. While at the store, I asked the Time Warner representative behind the counter if my account was now settled in full. He said it was.
A week later I received another bill from Time Warner. It stated I owned them around $53.00. I called customer service to inquire about the charges. The service representative told me that $50.00 was levied on my account as an early termination fee, and the remaining $3.00 was for the final days of my service. I told the representative that Time Warner had terminated my account without my consent. After checking the call logs he determined this to be true and removed the charge from my account. I then settled the remaining $3.00 charge.
Two weeks later I received a threatening letter from Time Warner Cable demanding I return the cable box and modem... the very equipment I returned over two weeks ago. I called customer service once again and was told they had no record of my account.
This whole ordeal highlights an internal communication and information management problem within Time Warner Cable. They are incapable of managing simple account transfers and subsequently manage/track modifications to that account. This basic incompetence has lead me to question other aspects of Time Warner Cable, such as the security of personal information, including banking information used for online bill pay. I strongly recommend utilizing another cable provider if possible.
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- 8/20/09 Called Time Warner to notify we were tentatively moving into a new home, but was unable to give date due to well water issues. Spoke with **, who informed me I would be able to keep my current equipment and they will install into our new home (he was aware this was a newly built home).
8/27/09 Called Time Warner spoke with Larry and requested our service be transferred over to our new home. He was unable to complete service as our new home was determined to be "unserviceable", he cancelled the service for our old home and a bill would be sent for that. He said he would have to send out their "construction" team to check home and he would call and let me know results.
I asked about the equipment and he said I would have to return it or pay for it. I explained what ** had instructed me and he said he would note I was keeping it because we planned to connect the service. He told me that he would know something in 7-10 days, but since we had already been waiting he told me he would call and update me tomorrow.
9/3/09 Called Time Warner and spoke with **. I informed her of above and she checked our account and informed me that the construction team came out and checked our home and it was determined to be "unserviceable", that we need to return the equipment. I told her it might be a few days because the nearest site to us was Webster (30-40 minutes away) and I had just broken my toe, so walking was painful. She told me that was no problem.
9/3/09 Called a **, who left a Time Warner cable brochure on the door of our newly built home weeks before we moved in (actually before we even bought the home). He told me he would call and check with his construction people on status. I asked about the equipment from previous home and he said he would stop by tonight, he would be in the area anyway to get a signature from another client and would update me on status. He never came and never called again.
9/4/09 Called Time Warner again, could not understand the name. They informed me that construction had indeed come out on 8/28/09 and deemed our newly built home unserviceable. I asked why because many of our neighbors had the service, why couldn't we when we lived practically next door. They informed me a letter was being sent to our new address about installation and fees we would need to pay in order to set up service at our new home. 9/5/09 My husband called Time Warner and spoke with **, who told him that the construction department was looking into the installation.
9/7/09 Received final bill in the mail. Was charged approximately $200 for the equipment that I was told to keep at one point, told they would pick up at another. 9/10/09 Still have not received a letter from construction department (do they even exist?), am very frustrated. No one seems to be able to assist us with this. I keep getting pacified by their customer service department, with promises to notify me and keep me updated, which never occurs. I definitely would not recommend this company to anyone after this experience. Too bad there is not enough competition in this area.
PULLMAN, WASHINGTON -- I live in a fairly small college town where the only option for any sort of internet connection over 5 megs a second is Time Warner Cable. This is unfortunate because that it is an extremely poorly managed business where mistakes go forever uncorrected and frustration is met with the silent treatment.
I've been a Time Warner customer one way or another for about 3 years now, and for the full three years I've been saying the following: I wish we had Comcast here. But since that isn't the case I've had to put up with Time Warner without any other option to connect to the internet with a halfway reliable connection. I say halfway reliable because if you live in an apartment complex you can expect several lost packets and highly inconsistent transfer rates, but if you live in a house or duplex you can expect fairly decent rates.
My biggest complaint however lies within the terribly uncoordinated customer service, chock full of miscommunication and underestimation. When my roommate and I prepared to move into our new apartment we called Time Warner to have our service moved, which was no problem until the unit we were supposed to move into flooded. Naturally, my roommate called to cancel the move and continue our service at our current location at the time. Time Warner assured us this was no problem and canceled the move from July 1st to August 1st, knowing we would be in our new apartment by then.
However on July 1st, the day we were supposed to move into our new apartment, Time Warner visited our new place and called us, informing we had missed the appointment we knew we had cancelled, and on top of that, they disconnected the internet at the apartment we were living in until our new one was fixed, so we were without the services we were paying for.
We called Time Warner to let them know of this mistake, and they told us it would be weeks until they could come re-connect the internet at our old apartment. After several phone calls expressing our disapproval Time Warner finally sent a technician days later, instead of weeks, to re-establish the connection by removing the service blocker, which took maybe 2 minutes.
I would have been halfway pleased with this "prompt" resolution to their mistake, unfortunately Time Warner saw this reconnection not as an appointment to rectify a mistake, but to permanently change our service to the same address we had kept. So, much to our chagrin, when August 1st came around Time Warner was nowhere in sight. We called to find out why they had missed the appointment only to find that they had canceled it altogether.
Once again we called them over and over to have them come fix the mistakes they had made, only to have them assure us that it was a busy time of year and it would have to be 12 days until they could come reconnect us. After being transferred to what I can only guess was half the staff, telling them that I knew for a fact it took 2 minutes to remove their service blocker, they told me that there was absolutely no way to squeeze in these 2 minutes to rectify the mistakes they had made over the last month until August 12th.
After several more phone calls and a lie to a customer service representative I finally got transferred to a supervisor who was out of his office. So I had to leave a message, explaining the situation and letting him know I was very much looking forward to talking to someone in charge. He hasn't called me back.
The part that bugs me the most is that they are the only high speed internet provider around, and whether or not they know it they should at least make an effort to make up for their mistakes, since I know that they happen to everyone. But instead these mistakes are left to be made without any sort of compensation while you have to talk to a CS representative who knows nothing about computers, the internet, or the services the company he works for provides except for what the booklet of pre-chosen responses to frequently asked questions tells him.
So basically what I hope you'll pull away from this is that if you are looking for high speed internet, Time Warner is the way to go because it's the ONLY way to go. But prepare to be reminded constantly of this, because during your tenure with this company you'll constantly wish for something better which doesn't exist. But if you're one of the lucky few who has the option of going with Comcast, don't consider Time Warner for a second.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I have absolutely had it with TWC. Their scripted customer service agents are a joke! I paid my bill this past Thursday. My son had mentioned that "someone" called our home asking "Do you still want your cable? If not I can hook you up with a cheaper package" but would not disclose his name. My son declined and told "him" to call back and speak to me.
This past Sunday we come home to find a green notice on our door that our cable had been disconnected. We immediately call TWC and was told several times that "your cable has not been disconnected - your account is in good standing." While I am getting lousy service from this representative who is repeating her script, my husband calls the cell # noted on the green notice and goes into a voice mail that just says "leave me a message." No business or name or anything. He tries the number again and a guy picks up and my husband asks him "did you cut my cable off?"
This guys proceeds to ask for our street name and that he could "hook him up with better service for less." My husband started yelling at him and told him to get back to our house and turn the cable on. So I relay this guys comments and cellphone number to the rep at TWC who refused to take the phone number or take any additional steps to verify the fact that the cable had indeed been disconnected.
I requested to speak to a supervisor who basically said there was nothing they could do and that the earliest they could get a technician out was the following day. She sounded as if I had just woke her up from a nap or something - I had to ask the supervisor to speak up. I also asked for her manager but of course she was the only supervisor there. She then proceeded to place me on hold until I "calmed down".
I hung up and then called the phone number on the green notice starting with a 310 and 866 area code. Neither number stated the name of the company. (I could barely understand the person on the recording.) The notice also said "do not go to any office and make a payment." RED FLAG. The notice also said to call the numbers on the notice and they would have a field rep come out where we should pay by cash, money order, or credit card. ANOTHER RED FLAG. This appeared to be very suspicious. We almost called the police because we thought there was some kind of scam going on.
Did I mention that when the guy offered to "hook us up" that he got a major attitude and hung up on my husband? Yes we were both upset, never cursed or used any bad words but they could not handle the fact that an error had been made and we had the right to be upset. No one knew how to fix it because they train their staff to use scripts. NOT THEIR OWN BRAINS.
This is the MOST horrible service I have ever received. TWC sucks! The other thing that happened was the person who left the notice went in our backyard and removed something so that the cable would not work and we believe he did it in a way where it would not show up at the TWC office. We could not understand why the office kept saying the cable was on and that it was getting a signal and this mysterious field rep was saying he disconnected the cable. Why would their systems show two totally different things?
I'm concerned that TWC has unscrupulous people working for them and that these same people are giving inside information to others so they can call people and say "we can hook you up" which means bootleg cable. Out of all three representatives no apology was offered, no real solution and I had to keep calling to try to get this resolved.
BROOKLYN -- Having used DirecTV for 12 months, and being extremely satisfied, I was not looking forward to subscribing to the higher monthly cable and internet package offered by TWC in my area, but the new apartment property managers would not allow DirecTV satellite installation.
My first complaint is that I had to take a day off from work to wait around for the technician to come and setup the installation, unlike my previous service provider who came in the evening.
Secondly, although TWC internet is faster than Verizon DSL with DirecTV, I was initially told that a wireless router would come with my TWC installation package, and was later told that TWC does not provide such equipment and that I would have to buy my own.
Thirdly, the TWC technician set up my cable service and all was working well, until he left and I turned the TV on using the power button on the remote. The cable box displayed strange symbols and would not work. I called and was told that there is a defect in the remotes and that using the power button shorts out the cable box! Um ... why are they still being used?! A technician was back in 30 minutes to fix this (which is good timing by TWC) and he did something to make it work. As soon as he left, it stopped working AGAIN. When I called this time I was told that I would have to go to a TWC service center and get a new cable box myself. TWC service centers are not exactly nearby in most areas. So, after $160 spent on 1st month cable, internet and installation, I had internet service with no wireless connectivity and a cable box that did not work. I didn't even want cable to begin with but it is mandatory with TWC because the internet service is via cable modem. I am then told to go get a new box MYSELF?! wack.
For the hassle involved, the TWC service representative on the phone offered me one month of free HBO. This would be great except that offer was already included as a "freebie" when I got the service. Nicely enough though, she upgraded it to free Showtime and Cinemax as well which will supposedly automatically remove itself from my monthly bill and not recur in charge.
Last complaint on actual cable service are that the programming freezes for 15 seconds every hour or so, turns to black for an additional 15 seconds and then is fine again. Oh, and one more thing, I am not impressed with the pastel purple and yellow menu on TWC's guide channel, nor the button placement on the remote. Maybe I just need to get used to a non-DirecTV remote and stop being so picky.
One positive, yet non-essential perk to TWC is that the menu allows you to go back in time and see what you missed earlier in the day ... not that you can actually watch the programming though.
Overall, if you can get a DirecTV package and don't mind the extra 4 seconds it takes Verizon DSL to load the page, do it.
I ordered service from Time Warner Cable based on an online promo I saw on their website. I was to get Cable and Internet service for $79.99. I ordered an additional box which was $6.99 and I was told that my total, including tax, was $94.00 (and some change). This price was confirmed in a phone call before my installation date on 06/23/11. When I received my first bill, I was charged $109 (and some change). My first contact was via chat and it was confirmed that I was to pay $79.99 + tax. Please keep in mind that this charge includes being charged for 2 digital boxes; the online promo says that one box is included.
My next contact was with ** on July 22, 2011. I explained my issue and she said that my recorded calls would be pulled by a supervisor to confirm and I would receive a call back. After waiting a week, I didn't hear from her or anyone at Time Warner so I called back. On 07/28/11, I spoke to **. I told him about my previous conversation with ** and he looked at the notes. The notes that ** took indicated that I hung up and didn't provide all the necessary information necessary to have the calls pulled. A total lie and an excuse for someone not wanting to do their job.
I haven't received a call back from Time Warner as of yet, but wanted to let you know about my experience with the company so you can decide if you guys want to deal with them. Their chat is a joke too... Me: "I appreciate your help" (I thought she was even going to try to help). Agent: "thank you for appreciating." Everything went downhill after that because she had no idea what she was doing. I also sent a complaint with FTC.
Follow-up: Filed with BBB and here's TWC Response: "The surf n view package IS $79.99. However, you have 2 cable boxes, the 1st one is $7.99, the 2nd is $9.99 for a total of $97.96 plus tax, as agreed upon during the Sales call." This wasn't what I was told because I kept verifying the price including tax and they (2 calls) kept agreeing to $79.99 plus tax. BEWARE the cable amount on the web doesn't include a box as you can see in their response. Since they PAY the BBB a fee, TWC isn't worried about their A rating being affected. They'd rather lose their customer than work with a $14 discrepancy.
WESTMINSTER, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a customer of TWC's for over 14 years. I have even walked into their office and paid them cash even when I was on Unemployment. For the last four months they have claimed that with every balance that I pay, I still owe them more money - even though the amount that has been paid to them is straight off of my statement. Then in May of this year, they start calling my cell phone 2 and 3 times a day. When I call them back, I get a call center that isn't even in the state that I live in and this representative has no idea why they are calling me and leaving me messages! It only took me approx. 20 minutes to get through to a representative that could tell me ** they wanted.
Apparently there was 15 dollars of unpaid balance that they were calling me over and threatened to turn my service off if the entire balance wasn't paid immediately. So here we are in August and we are playing the same guessing game all over again. The representative tells me this time that the balance was never paid in full! So are you telling me that the last customer service representative didn't give me the correct balance????? Whose fault is that????? So as of today if this balance is paid in full, which I have committed to AGAIN, my account will be brought up to date.
Of course, they have no notes in their system about the prior conversation and that I took care of the balance from our last go 'round. Is that not convenient! They are the worst cable company that exists and the only reason I have them is that the apartment complex that I live in doesn't allow us to have any other carrier. As soon as I move, Time Warner is the absolute last cable company I will ever use again! They are the worst company there is and rip off their customers on a regular basis.
Not only that, now they are threatening to take the ABC stations - which includes ESPN's away from us. Guess what, they will 'renew' the contract and pass the difference along to the consumer! That's what companies that have no ethics do and they laugh all the way to the bank!
NORTH CAROLINA -- I called the cable co on Aug 3rd 2011, to pay cable bill for my elderly mother who is out of town. There was a past due amount, I asked if the full amount could be paid Aug 10th. The CSR said "yes but you have to do a post date payment on your debit card". I gave her my debit card information, I said 3 times very clearly the payment will be taken out on Aug 10th. She replied Aug 10th. (that call is recorded.) They record all their calls.
However, they ran my debit card that night (Aug 3rd). They caused an overdraft fee. In addition I have spent 6 hours total around my full time schedule w/ no results. I gave them a copy of my bank statement. Their call hold times range on an average 15-30 min. I have one timed call on my Sprint Blackberry 29 minutes. Third, I called back that night wed Aug 3rd it said their offices were closed. They state their call lines are open until 11:00. I have the calls to prove I called multiple times that night. One lie they told me is they only did an inquiry on my bank account Aug 3rd.
The lady from Suntrust Fraud investigation, said that is not the case, they ran the card. I spent 4 days arguing w/ them. At this point, it is going to be handled through my bank, which is very helpful, and I may file a suit. I have given ample time, hours on the phone, trip to the Cable office. Even though the account is in my mother's name, I should not have to suffer damages because of a error by an employee in their accounting dept. Has anyone else had problems w/ this co from hell about improper use of your debit card?
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- I went out of town for the long weekend and unplugged my TV and cable box to save on electricity. When I returned home, I plugged them back in, but when my cable box came back on it said that it was not an approved box. This has happened in the past when I have gone out of town, so I knew that I was going to have to call Time Warner to get them to ping it on their end. I find this to be a hassle, since as we all know, getting to talk to a live person is not easy. When I was finally able to talk to a live person, I was told that the system told him that there was an outage in the area.
I asked how long he expected it to last, and he told me that since I was the first to call in (at 3:00 PM), that it would take them 2 hours to respond. My question to him was either the system was telling him there was an outage in the area, or I was the first to report it. It did not make sense they could both be true statements. He would not ping my box from his location (how hard can that be?), so I hung up after asking for a credit for today.
Two hours later I called back, again taking forever to reach a live person, to find out the status and was told there was no outage in my area. She pinged my box, and I was able to get my cable back. When I asked her the name of the person I spoke to earlier, she would not tell me, but did apologize for his lying to me, and said that she would give me a credit (which he had not). If I signed a 2 year contract with this business, at what point does their lack of service negate that contract? And yes, I love how at the end of the call they try to sell you other services. Please!

S100 protein is a family of low molecular weight protein found in vertebrates characterized by two EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. There are at least 21 different S100 proteins, and the name is derived from the fact that the protein is 100% soluble in ammonium sulfate at neutral pH. Most S100 proteins are disulfide-linked homodimer, and is normally present in cells derived from the neural crest, chondrocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, etc. S100 proteins have been implicated in a variety of intracellular and extracellular functions. They are involved in regulation of protein phosphorylation, transcription factors, the dynamics of cytoskeleton constituents, enzyme activities, cell growth and differentiation, and the inflammatory response. Protein S100-A9, also known as S100 calcium-binding protein A9, S100A9, and CAGB, is a member of the S-100 family. S100A9 is expressed by macrophages in acutely inflammed tissues and in chronic inflammation. It is also expressed in epithelial cells constitutively or induced during dermatoses. S100A9 is a calcium-binding protein. It has anti-microbial activity towards bacteria and fungi. The anti-microbial and proapoptotic activity of S100A9 is inhibited by zinc ions. S100A9 plays a role in the development of endotoxic shock in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It promotes tubulin polymerization when unphosphorylated. It also promotes phagocyte migration and infiltration of granulocytes at sites of wounding. S100A9 plays a role as a pro-inflammatory mediator in acute and chronic inflammation and up-regulates the release of IL8 and cell-surface expression of ICAM1.

Be there for others. They will be with you
Being there for others is what gave birth to the IBN SINA TRUST on 30th June 1980. A group of dedicated people inspired enough by the noble ideologies of Islam pledged to devote their lives to alleviate the pain of the distressed people. We have, over the past two decades and more we have built a number of Hospitals, Laboratories, Consultation Center, Medical College and Pharmaceutical Industry. Along with our social welfare programs IBN SINA TRUST is a pioneer in private medical services.
IBN SINA TRUST is a welfare trust organization inspired by the former Ambassador of Govt. of K.S.A. to Bangladesh HE Fouad Abdul Hamid Al-Khateeb. Ibn Sina started in 1980 with a sum of only Tk. 1 lac. It renders humanitarian services from earnings through various Medicare services such as the Hospital, Laboratories, Medical Checkup and other facilities. Since 1980, Ibn Sina has become one of the most reputed names in medical services.
Every great work has had a most humble beginning. IBN SINA TRUST began its journey with the opening of a Medical Check-up unit in June, 1980 with a capital of only TK 1 lac. A rented house at 78 International Airport Road (A.R. Mansion) at Mohakhali, Dhaka, was used for the purpose with only three officers, three doctors and seven other employees to work within the unit.
Since that day, with multiple fully functional units helping millions – our journey seems to have just begun.

THE son of a man who has been left fighting for his life after a brutal assault has appealed for the public to help find his dad's attacker.
Garry Sutton, 59, remains in an induced coma at Bristol's Frenchay Hospital following the assault near his home in Friarn Lawn, Bridgwater, around 11.30pm on Monday.
Mr Sutton had been drinking with friends in The Green Dragon and Three Lions pubs on Monday evening and was walking home when the attack happened.
His son, Sean, said: "My father was rushed to hospital to have a blood clot removed.
"It's unlikely he will fully recover.
"It's a shock. I went with my mother to the hospital and you can only imagine how distressed she is.
"I want people to come forward and identify the person who did this.
"There's no motive that we can think of."
Garry Sutton, who also has a daughter, was brought up in Nether Stowey but has lived in Bridgwater for many years.
Avon and Somerset Police said there had been an excellent response to their appeal for information and said a car seen in the area around the time of the assault has now been traced.
They are continuing to appeal for information from anybody who may have witnessed the assault or seen anything earlier in the evening which could have led to the assault.
A police spokesman said this morning: "Investigations into the incident are ongoing. A man remains in a serious condition in hospital.
"Following our appeal, numerous people have come forward with helpful information.
"A silver car has been recovered, but the offender is still outstanding."
Anybody with information is urged to contact police on 101.

The China Helicopter Tournament tests a pilot's skills by making him perform the amazing feat of opening five beer bottles with a helicopter. During this segment of the competition, pilots were given eight minutes to open five beer bottles with an opener tied to the helicopter's skid. Although this may sound ridiculous, it does take a lot of finesse to even open one, as the video below shows. Sadly, the pilot did not score any points for opening that bottle as it was damaged in the process. There are many other unique and extreme ways to open a beer bottle, but this is certainly the most over-the-top one.

Mind Blowing Indoor Projection Mapping Takes Educational Donors on a Virtual Voyage
Using the back wall of the theatre as a surface, the projection transformed a block wall and three wooden columns into a hidden brick room, an underground train station and the window of a flying craft that took guests on a journey from campus to campus. All culminating with amazing digital fireworks display, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of SFU.
The 3D renderings were created in Cinema 4D placing special attention and level of detail to the campuses spread across 3 cities. Because of the complexity and resolution of the landscape and buildings, the average time to render the each frame was almost 20 minutes.
While most companies think of Projection Mapping requiring large budgets and projecting onto entire buildings, the SFU successful indoor mapping is a good example of how it can be successfully scaled down whilst keeping the experience engaging and very impacting.
As the institution celebrates its history, using innovative and ground-breaking technology was a way to look ahead and bring a futuristic touch to their fundraising campaign. Moreover, this was a highly creative concept integrated into a fundraising campaign, that captivated everyone who was part of the event.
"Brand New Baby" Google Ad Helps You Through Pregnancy
Google Business UK released a wonderful new web film ad entitled "Brand New Baby". The heartwarming film showcases how Google products from mapping, Google Chat and Google Plus help this young couple through pregnancy.
The couple stay in touch from early stages to the actual day the baby decides it's time to join the world and of course the couple use Google to stay in touch, communicate. search for ways to induce labor and of course baby names. This new spot is focused on helping a young pregnant couple during some of the most important moment of their lives. This work is quite heartfelt and does a good job of showing the power that Google's products can have when used in combination. Enjoy

Ogilvy Dubai Creates The World's First Tastable Print Ad
Taste, in every sense, is a personal thing. It has to be directly experienced to be completely understood, appreciated, sought for and subscribed to. For a beverage like Fanta which is relatively known for its unique orange taste, introducing a new "more orange-y" flavor – is undeniably, vague. No matter how much we described it. The product had to be tried, thus the necessary means of sampling. By creating the world's first tastable print ad, OgilvyOne Dubai enabled the audience to immediately and directly react and respond. Average and forgettable sampling was transformed into an innovative medium using print media to showcase the taste. This allowed for curious people to tear and try the new taste of Fanta straight from the print ad without having to drink it.
The copy in the poster and ads reads like this :
Nicolaus Copernicus Google Doodle Celebrates Heliocentrism
I was in for a surprise when I opened the Google Search home page! Another colourful doodle this morning and its not a static one like yesterday's but an animated doodle with the solar system and the planets floating around.
Today is the 540th birthday of Nicholas Copernicus and Google decided to honor him with an animated doodle. Nicolas Copernicus is credited with forming the comprehensive mathematical heliocentric model and his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) is considered one of the most important works in the history of science. After the publication of Celestial Spheres, the so-called Copernican Revolution began, ushering the world into the Scientific Revolution. Copernicus, a true Renaissance Man, served as a mathematician, astronomer, Catholic cleric, artist, physician and economist.
People who thought that the Sun revolved around the earth and other planets will understand the principle of Heliocentrism and that fact that it is the Earth and other planets that revolve around the sun.
You've often heard the term "Multi-disciplinarian" thrown around. It is often an over used or misused word. But there are a few people in this world who can be defined only by the term" Multi-disciplinarian." One such person is Nasir al Din al Tusi, a Persian polymath and prolific writer: an architect, astronomer, biologist, chemist, mathematician, philosopher, physician, physicist, scientist and theologian. His birthday falls on 18th February- today and Google Arabia decided to honor one of the greatest of later Persian scholars with a lovely doodle. He died on 26 June 1274

I recently visited Tiffany Diamond at Lady Luck Tattoo in Waterford, Michigan. I found her on your piercer referrals tab. I drove an hour to have her pierce my nipples. She was professional and considerate and very knowledgeable. I had gotten a VCH from somewhere else and had a feeling it may have been in the wrong spot and I asked if she would take a look and she did confirm suspicions. I knew I should have went to her in the first place. She used a drawing to show me the placement it should have been in. I removed it and I will be visiting her again in 4 weeks to have that redone. I couldnt have been more pleased with her. Very nice shop! I highly recommend if you are in Michigan visit Tiffany Diamond at Lady Luck! She Rocks!

Hi Elayne, I was recently pierced by a piercer named Allison who was taught by you in a class you gave as well as she had a personalized autographed copy of your book. I am in Northern Ohio and never dreamed I would find a piercer that knew you personally by acccident! My regular piercer was out on maternity leave and Allison is there in her place. After learning she was taught by you and she showed me her (well used) copy of The Piercing Bible, I felt very comfortable!
I got the VCH piercing and let me say, it's been 8 days and I am in love!!! I can't thank you enough for your website which I have been on almost constantly since having it done and all the information in your blog. You are an amazing woman!!! THANK YOU!

This "Bible" is a MUST read for any and all that are either piercing now, future piercees, or those that have any questions or just a desire to learn more about the wonderful, exciting world of body piercing.Written in a straight forward style by the Maven of body piercing, Elayne Angel. Specifically the genitalia applications. I was very impressed with all aspects of the publication. Well organized, very informative. Written in a manner, that most anyone will be able to understand. Anyone that has any comprehensive reading skills at all. I have no doubts that it will find it's way onto the shelf of any reputable piercer and/or his shop.
February 20, 2012 - 9:10am
I was so excited to learn that Elayne was going to be in Atlanta that i planned this visit for more than 2 months! This visit went smooth, was very pleasant and informative and I got to see a true professional in action. I'm so thrilled to see Elayne has encouraged so many to step up to the plate and be proactive with education and sanitation. What an inspiration she is! Wonderful woman with a beautiful personality and an absolutely comforting bedside manner. Thank you Elayne!

February 18, 2012 - 7:39pm
Yes!!! Finally got a VCH and two inner labia piercings by Elayne Angel during her recent visit to Atlanta. She is an enchanting petite woman with gorgeous art-work and brilliant piercings, as soon as I saw her I gave her a hug and she hugged me back :), I was so excited to meet her. I have to admit that I was nervous at first, but Elayne made me totally comfortable. She is very professional and she has an amazing and sweet personality, completely put me at ease.
As far as the piercing, it just felt like a quick pinch and then she soothed the area with a cool cloth immediately afterwards:). She is very easy to talk to and she answered all of my rambling questions (lol). I read Elayne's blog before I got my VCH done and the posting about a woman reclaiming her body by getting pierced was especially touching, I cried when I read it at home and even cried at the piercing shop after she had completed my piercings. I commend Elayne for helping people to overcome such a sensitive situation and adding that posting to her blog. Wow! I never thought it would evoke so many strong emotions, and Elayne was great and so understanding :). I gave her a hug when I left and I can't wait for her to come back to ATL! (I even asked her to move here lol!) I will try to get pierced by her every time she comes back to visit :). I LOVE my new piercings!!!
If you're considering getting pierced, then ask Elayne's advice, buy the book because it has alot of information that you will definitely need, and get pierced by her, she is absolutely the best, hands down, and beautiful inside and out, I honestly don't think you can find anyone like her anywhere else. She has so many great qualities that many piercees desire in a piercer. When you meet her you can tell that she is a genuine person and that she really loves her profession. I don't have any pain,swelling, or discomfort and I can barely tell the piercings are there at all until I look at them. My experience was excellent, and yes, I would do it over again. I HIGHLY recommend her. The piercings she performed on me are absolutely exquisite, Thank you soo much :)!!! ~C

after many months of research. i came across this website and the ifo was amazing. i emailed Elayne and and she referred me to Bink in Tallahassee Florida. i live close by and it was a amazing experience. Not only did i feel comfy i was impressed with His level of experience. also a Rn and that was good for me to know since i had a VCH done. the business was clean and sterile and the people very nice. Bink was so gentle and calm and it made me feel at ease. i was pierced in seconds and after leaving i knew it was the right choice. THANKS TO ELAYNE FOR THE REFERRAL!!!!!!

This book is amazing. By far the most informative literature on piercings. Thank you Elayne.

For all those wannabe body modifiers out there, what are you waiting for? Well, the first thing you should do is purchase a copy of Elayne Angel's book "The Piercing Bible". Some of the most expensive lessons in life are gained through trial and error because of a lack of information, knowledge or education.
For the small price of $25 or less, you can obtain the wisdom of one of the preeminent piercer's of modern times! "The Piercing Bible" is a well constructed book that informs the uneducated, or even undecided piercee what they need to know prior to letting a piercer put his or her hands on you, what to expect after.
Elayne's book covers piercing from A-Z. Elayne initially covers such topics as piercer's motivations, piercing history, myths, and whether piercing is right for you. She then moves on to how to pick the right studio, preparations, and what to expect during the piercing process. And finally, Elayne covers "Jewelry 101", healing and aftercare, stretching, and living with your piercings. Elayne has an easy to read style, and the sidebars have great historical & educational significance.
It became very apparent to me that Elayne loves the art form of piercing and her desire to educate and inform us is her motivation for writing this book. Elayne is a pioneer in the industry and has personally invented many of the piercings currently being preformed in studios around the world. Her descriptions and illustrations of each type of piercing are an endless source of reference material for the individual seeking all types of piercing body modifications.
Additionally, though I have not met her in person, I have to tell you that she seems to be one special person. How many authors, or so called experts, will take the time to actually correspond with you? Elayne personally answers her email, and gives her options regarding your anatomy for certain types of piercing, and freely gives out referrals to local studios she knows are among the finest available.
Elayne makes you feel like she is your friend. Her knowledge is unquestionable, and she is a great person.
I recommend you support her with a purchase of her book.

Okay, so my first thing is that I wanted an APP certified shop, and this one is. I especially wanted that because I was getting a VCH piercing. Other than my ears (two holes done with piercing guns at a mall) I have never had any other piercings. After weeks of looking online at the piercing bible website, and reading reviews on shops, I chose Virtue and Vice in Atlanta GA. (A shop that Elayne Angel refers people to)
The consultation to make sure I was anatomically suited for the piercing took about 2 minutes, and the actual piercing (sterilization, piercing, inserting jewelry) took less than 2 minutes. They show you that every tool is sterilized, (using a StatimClave) and the shop is clean and well kept. They also have a wide selection of jewelry.
I'm on day two of having my piercing and it doesn't even hurt. I'll definitely be going back there again! (April Johnson was my piercer) I put inexpensive as the price, because for what you are getting, it's totally worth it. They have a full list of prices on their website. The piercing I got (VCH) was a $45 piercing, and the jewelry is $10 and up. You can probably go somewhere cheaper, BUT it won't be worth it.... AT ALL. You won't get the same technique or same level of sanitation somewhere else, You also won't have the same peace of mind that your piercing was done correctly.
Comment by angel
Great feedback about a great studio, and they deserve it! Just a point of semantics, but the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) is not a certifying agency. We are a non-profit educational organization with members who meet certain personal criteria, (such as training in bloodborne pathogens exposure and certification in CPR/First Aid), and environmental criteria. Plus they use quality body jewelry that meets certain standards for biocompatiblity. You can find more information on the APP website: http://www.safepiercing.org/

I've always wanted a VCH piercing, but unlike getting your ears pierced, it's not a body part I will entrust to any random shop-if your ear or nose is pierced wrong, it's a redo......but VCH? That's sacred territory, so I had to make sure I was going to have no regrets and get it done right the first time. I research doctors, waxers and hairstylists before using them-why not piercers? I am a perfectionist. I want the best.
Elayne Angels name kept coming up online. I am new to the "unconventional"piercing scene. No tattoos, only ears pierced, so I can't just start up a casual conversation about recommendations, my conservative friends would think I had lost my mind! After reading her site thoroughly, I came to the decision that she was the "chosen one"! If I could be patient.....it was October and she wasn't coming to Los Angeles til 2012. To top it off, after reading "The Piercing Bible", I decided a "triangle" sounded like something I wanted as well-didn't even know it existed til now-but if a piercing in the right spot can give me mind blowing feelings.....sign me up!
It was tough as patience is not my strong suit. Several times I almost cracked and let a local shop pierce me. I In November, I had my nipples pierced locally-and as I suspected......everytime I look in the mirror, I'm convinced the right side is crooked. Drives me nuts! But a confirmation that waiting for Elayne is the right decision! No way I'm letting anyone mess up this magical area-I will not look in the mirror everyday and wish I had it "done right" or even worse, jeopardize and sensations that go on in that area....which was part of my motivation in the first place.
I'm rambling.....flash forward to January 28th. The big day is finally here. I've saved all my penny's, but tell myself as in all aspects of life, you get what you pay for. Having already secured the $100 deposit, if suited for the 2nd piercing, all I need to do now, was chose jewlery-what girl doesn't like that? Prix was sooooo clean, I felt like I was there for a pap smear instead of a piercing-it's that sterile. Elayne has obviously done this a bizillion times, and her confidence makes you immediately at ease. As luck would have it, I was anatomically suited for both the VCH and the Triangle. So as Elayne sterilized the equipment, I had a brief "OMFG-what have I done?" moment-in my head only! After a few deep breathes, I focused and reminded myself of the end results and the game was on! She talked me through the whole process, told me exactly what I would feel and I won't lie -it hurt-but just like Elayne said-only a brief, sharp pinch, then she put a cooling towel on me and it was on to the next piercing. The whole process was fast, clean and as comfortable as possible. I went that night to see "Wicked" and had no pain, bleeding or any discomfort from sitting for long periods.
It's been almost 2 weeks now and I'm 100% satisfied. My only regret is not choosing the jewlery with pink stones on both ends-but that is changeable. I have 0 pain. The piercings look adorable, my husband loves how they sparkle. It's fun to have a little secret that only the two of us know about. The new sensations as a result of the piercings make it exciting as it heals. It is a huge relief to not worry that it's not healing right or in the right position. Just this peace of mind makes it worth every penny spent.

Elaine, I just wanted to write you a quick note and thank you so much for your piercing bible. I found it last October, and read it cover to cover before finally deciding on a triangle peircing. I did it yesterday at 23rd st body piercing, in oklahoma city. I see why you recommend them, their facility was a clean, comfortable, inviting and friendly invironment. The piercer there was thorough, explaining the technical and thoroughly checked to make sure my anatomy was well suited before even agreeing to do it. Once convinced I knew and understood what I was asking for and that I was in fact well suited, the process was fairly painless. I now have a beautiful piercing that looks just like your examples of a proper triangle piercing and is quite comfortable for a fresh piercing. Without your book, I never would have attempted this. It has been a very liberating experience for me, and was a tremendous step in reclaiming my body as my own. Since my rape in 2009 I have felt like a stranger in my body, yet this morning while looking at my peircing I actually smiled. :) I finally feel like I have tangible proof that I have stepped past that event and it will no longer be able to define who I am. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I may not have the pleasure of ever getting to know you personally, but you have given me a greater gift than you could ever imagine.

Hi Elayne, I would like to thank you for the wonderful piercing experience in West Hollywood today (technically yesterday since it's after midnight now). I came across your site as I was searching piercing on google and it brought me here. I am glad that I came across your site and had lots of questions for you. You answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. As soon as I found out that you were going to be in Los Angeles, I just had to get a piercing done by you. I was super nervous and anxious to get my VCH pierced, but you helped calm my nervous by letting me know exactly what you were doing. The initial piercing hurt as I flinched and let out a loud OW! But after the piercing, the pain was nearly gone. She gives you all the instructions you need to know and if you have any questions to email her. I ordered her book and it opened my eyes to so many things I never knew before. I would totally recommend her book to anyone and recommend Elayne to anyone looking for a wonderful piercer. I can't wait for her to come back to LA again in the future, so I can get another piercing done by her. :)

Hello! I emailed you 3 weeks ago about my VCH piercing and what I suspected was granulation tissue. You asked me to let you know how my treatment turned out. For 3 weeks I applied tea tree oil, twice daily. The change was fairly dramatic. The piece of tissue was long enough that it protruded out from under my hood next to the bottom ball of my piercing. Within a week it had shrunk to half that size. Two weeks later, the last piece of tissue fell off and the red bump on the outside of the piercing is now completely healed. When the last piece of granulation tissue fell off, it bled a tiny bit. I used a styptic pencil to stop the bleeding and everything looks 100 percent now. I'll be leaving it alone for a couple more weeks to ensure that it's fully healed. But I can't tell you how thrilled I am with the results. And I wanted to thank you for being so reassuring. I was pretty bummed that I might lose the piercing, but you gave me the confidence to hang in there and be patient. Thank you!
January 24, 2012 - 5:53pm
I just wanted to send you a quick thank you. I reciently drove almost 100 miles to visit Marc at Piercing Emporium, in Worchester MA. He was very professional, kind, and respectful. He took the time to answer all my questions big and small. He made me feel very comfortable every step of the way. I had a vertical hood piercing done. It looks beautiful. Again thanks for your information and your referrals. Bonnie
January 11, 2012 - 1:10am
Thank you so much for your site! This information is extremely valuable and highly needed for everyone in the piercing community. I have had several piercings done; including the VCH and tongue(which were both pierced twice, as I removed them the first time I had them done), the navel, both nipples, my tragus, nostril, and four cartilage piercings in each ear. I believe that both my VCH piercings were done correctly but I am going to send you a picture to be extra sure. I really appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and expertise with the world.
January 8, 2012 - 8:34pm
I love your site. I have been thinking about getting my clit done but couldnt figure out how to test to see if it was a good idea. and your information helped. and i love your work you are amazing. thanks so much.

It has been one year since i purchased The Piercing Bible, and even now, every time i read it, it astounds me how knowledgeable, experienced, informative, and personal Elayne Angel is in her writing. I am 19 years old, and after graduating high school and being disqualified from the military because of health issues, i was completely lost in what i wanted to do with my future. That is until one day a friend persuaded me to get my tongue done for my birthday. It was painful, almost got infected to the point of having to take it out, and even incorrectly placed. Not even a day later and after searching the internet for hours, i found and purchased Elaynes book from amazon. Now, my tongue is doing fine, although still quite crooked, and i even have a few new piercings. After reading her book, i have yet to find anything in this world that i am as passionate about than body piercings. I would do anything it took to find a good trustworthy piercer to take me on as an apprentice, and i hope one day i will get to meet Elayne Angel in person. Thank you Elayne!!! You gave my life direction again!!!
January 4, 2012 - 11:13pm
Well, Peter, I am 53 years old and I wanted the best of the best to pierce me, and fortunately for me, Elayne was in town when I decided to pierce my nose. I am so impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, expertise, and commitment to provide a sterile environment in which to practice. Not to mention, it was virtually painless, I had NO problem healing, and, it looks really cute! I also bought her book that same day and have found it to be most informative. Thanks Elayne, and Buck! If I ever get another piercing, it will be done by Elayne. She is the BEST!To watch her pierce my nostril, go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuqxCPX5_cM&feature=context&context=G2006...

They have accused it of refusing to carry relief material from local voluntary groups to remote islands which were devastated by the tsunami.
The island administration has stopped voluntary groups from relief work in the worst-affected Nicobar region.
Last week, Red Cross officials accused the authorities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of "hijacking" aid.
'Little role'
Indian officials reported 30 more tsunami deaths on Monday, increasing the death toll in last month's catastrophe to 10,744.
The figures show that 1,894 islanders are dead in the archipelago, with more than 5,500 missing.
A government spokesman said some local groups were taking huge quantities of relief material from foreign non-governmental organisations and asking the administration to transport them to the islands.
The spokesman said the government would give priority to shipping its own supplies around the islands.
Local correspondents say the Andaman-Nicobar administration is determined to prevent foreign voluntary groups from joining the relief effort, even if it is by proxy.
They say the local administration is trying to stop local voluntary groups from receiving foreign support.
Earlier, the administration said that while overseas groups would not be allowed to join the relief effort, any material they could provide was welcome.
Red Cross officials last week alleged that supplies shipped to the islands' capital, Port Blair, were being seized at the docks, apparently for distribution by the government.
The Tribal Council in the Nancowrie group of islands, the area in Nicobar worst hit by the tsunami, has accused the local administration of being insensitive to local relief requirements.
It said in a statement on Monday that the administration had now stopped local voluntary groups from conducting relief work in the Nicobar area.
The council's chairperson Ayesha Majid said that was most unfortunate, arguing that local groups are aware of the typical needs of the Nicobarese people, which is not the case with the federal officials working on the islands.

+1 for FreePBX. I've got a few personal systems installed on Debian Etch/Lenny with just the bare
essentials on what some people would call 'substandard' hardware and it works like a charm. Low
footprint, only the required software, etc.
