Playoffs!!!1 gameday: Game 2 Leafs @ Bruins
Cam Charron
May 04 2013 12:42PM
The good news is that it doesn't appear the Toronto Maple Leafs will try to win Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series with Frazer McLaren in the lineup. The bad news is that they'll try to win it without Clarke MacArthur.
Paul Hendrick tweeted out the projected lineup changes this morning: Ryan Hamilton and Matt Frattin in. Clarke MacArthur and Frazer McLaren out.
You aren't going to beat the Boston Bruins by going power-on-power or by hoping really hard that Phil Kessel breaks his "slump" against Chara. The depth of the Bruins' D remains their weak point. They won't have Andrew Ference in the lineup due to suspension and will have Dougie Hamilton with Wade Redden on their second pairing.
Since 2010, the leaders in goals per 60 minutes on the Maple Leafs, minimum 300 minutes:
Joffrey Lupul - 1.082
Phil Kessel - 1.018
James van Riemsdyk - 1.007
Mikhail Grabovski - 0.899
Matt Frattin - 0.830
Nik Kulemin - 0.829
Nazem Kadri - 0.817
Clarke MacArthur - 0.802
Tyler Bozak - 0.566
Those are the top nine. You have the elite guys Lupul, Kessel and van Riemsdyk and five guys in that secondary range who will score 20-25 goals if you give them powerplay time and the occasional offensive situation.
Clarke MacArthur is on that list, and Clarke MacArthur belongs in the lineup as a player who can score a timely goal. Like Steve said, you aren't going to beat the Bruins by fighting fire with fire. You fight fire with water, and the Leafs can do that by using their deep core of scoring wingers to control the tempo against the lesser Bruins' players.
I'm sure Ryan Hamilton is a decent character and I'd rather have him in the lineup over Colton Orr, but over MacArthur? Hamilton scored just twice in the Toronto Marlies' playoff run. That's a small sample to argue on and the point isn't "Hamilton can't score in the playoffs" but the point is "the team doesn't need his scoring contributions to score in the playoffs". I think Hamilton maxes out in the NHL as a fourth line energy guy, and he's fine to have there, but how many energy guys do you want on a team that needs to score goals from the bottom nine?
Again, it's simplistic to say that "Kessel and Lupul need to be better" without pointing to any aspect of their game they need to improve. We know they didn't shoot the puck lots in Game 1 or create too many scoring chances, but that comes with the territory of playing against Chara and Patrice Bergeron. The Bruins are trying to shut those guys down for a reason and Carlyle either needs to avoid the matchup or look for scoring elsewhere.
Carlyle would be straight up gambling at this point that his top guys can get the job done. It would be great if they did, but you're going to need to bank on a lot of luck.
And on defence…
Linked in that Paul Hendrick tweet above, is the news that John-Michael Liles will be scratched for Jake Gardiner while Ryan O'Byrne will take Mike Kostka's spot. The Leafs are thin on the right side right now. Cody Franson is apparently pretty banged up right now.
Gardiner can make O'Byrne look pretty good, according to the few games of scoring chances I have from this season with those two together, but it's too small a sample to make a compelling case that the Leafs are anything but as thin as the Bruins in depth-D right now. Best chance tonight is probably James Reimer, unfortunately.
Carlyle is going to need to find ways to adjust his roster to playing in the playoffs, not because the rules or the style of the game changes at some arbitrary point in the hockey season, but because you're late in the year, players are battling with fatigue and injuries and you aren't going to be able to get the lineup you want every night.
Should be fun, at least. Game runs at 7 Eastern on the national broadcaster, so don't come running to me if you don't know what channel the game is on. Leafs Nations HQ will have the game on our 13-inch computer screen and be serving plenty of leftover beer if you want to come over for the Nations playoff viewing party, but you're probably better off partying with Jeffler down at Maple Leaf Square.
Don't forget to sign up for Streakcred. $20 plus GST gets you into the official Nations playoff pick 'em game. Whoever has the longest streak of correct games wins the big prize, which is a trip for two to Oktoberfest. Right now the streak is 8. My best is 2, and you can probably beat that. Sign up here.
Post updated because I screwed up a statistic I quoted in the intro, badly.
I'm pretty sure you are reading those advanced statistics wrong. Those are Chara's stats against those players, not visa versa.
Yeah in fact, you definitely are. Here's douglas murray's page, for example. According to how you're reading it, nobody ever scores against douglas murray, in any situation, ever.
I dont agree with sitting Mac I would sit McLaren and Kadri. McLaren because Orr and him can alternate you dont need both. Kadri as I think he needs a break to relax collect his thoughts. He is trying to hard to make things happen and he's trying to force things rather then just playing his game. If they relieve the pressure he puts on himself something they should have done before the playoffs and talk with him. He doesn't need to be a big impact player yet, he dont need to score when he hits the ice. He's got loads of unnoticed talent he can agitate and get under players skins like its nothing. He's got speed, causes turnovers with a big hit, he can do so much more then just score but fans, media and himself are all putting to much pressure on him because he showed signs of what he can do in points column. Now he's trying to live upto those expectations then play his game. Playoffs are a bad time to sit his talents but unless he gets back to his game it will have to be done.

: The plastic hold down bolt on the right hand side of my faucet, through which the flexible spray hose fits, has broken at the top of the threaded section where it widens to hold down the faucet body.
: Two questions:
: 1) how do I get a replacement part (Canadian Tire where I bought it do not handle parts)
: 2) will the replacement be any stronger, i.e. has there been a design improvement - there needs to be one, it is very thin where it broke.

Now that the dust has settled in the south, we thought it was only right to give some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Two.
Now that the dust has settled over in the southern hemisphere, Planet Rugby thought it was only right to hand out some praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Two.
Without further ado, here comes our offering – be sure to send in your own 15-1 team selections.
15 Charles Piutau (Blues) – Was sensational with ball in hand, making an incredible 166 metres on attack. The former New Zealand Sevens speedster's surges from the back put his side on the front-foot and he scored a deserved try for his efforts.
14 Kade Poki (Highlanders) – Stood out as one of the Highlanders' best players, making 115 metres and scored a fine solo try. Also, worked well in tandem with Hosea Gear and Ben Smith as part of a back-three which should wreak havoc during the rest of the competition.
13 Tim Nanai-Williams (Chiefs) – Caught the eye with some telling breaks and crossed the whitewash twice. Showed a tremendous burst of speed with his first five-pointer and, although he missed a crucial tackle which led to Poki's try, gave an assured display on defence despite playing out of position.
12 Francis Saili (Blues) – Showed great physicality which the Hurricanes had difficulty dealing with. Saili's direct style proved successful as he gained 80 metres with seven defenders beaten and two line breaks.
11 Sergeal Petersen (Kings) – The teenager made a sensational debut, bagging a brace of tries. His second was pure class as he handed off two defenders on his way to the try-line. Petersen also showed tremendous guts on defence making 11 tackles.
10 Morne Steyn (Bulls) – Was back to his best after going off the boil during the latter part of 2012. Steyn dictated proceedings and varied his play well which seemed to surprise the Stormers. Also gave a perfect goal-kicking display which saw him succeeding with seven out of seven shots at goal.
9 Piri Weepu (Blues) – Solid performance against the Hurricanes from a player who has plenty to prove this season. The veteran guided his younger back-line team-mates well. His slick service was the launchpad for several of the Blues' attacks and he also gave an accomplished goal-kicking display.
8 Jacques Engelbrecht (Kings) – Put your hand up if you'd heard of this guy before this weekend. Engelbrecht came on in the first half as a replacement for Luke Watson and played a huge role in his side's win over the Western Force. He stood out on attack, beating nine defenders, and put in a solid defensive display. Just beats out Brumbies skipper Ben Mowen who gave another polished performance in his side's win over the Rebels.
7 Sam Cane (Chiefs) – Showed why he is currently viewed as the heir apparent to Richie McCaw's All Blacks jersey. Worked hard in the tight-loose, playing the scavenger's role to perfection, winning two crucial turnovers. Also led on defence for the champions with 19 tackles against the Highlanders.
6 Ed Quirk (Reds) – Has been a revelation since coming into the team as Scott Higginbotham's replacement. Quirk thrives on doing the dirty work while other players revel in the platform which this creates. He just edges out Marcell Coetzee, who impressed in the Sharks' win over the Cheetahs.
5 Josh Bekhuis (Highlanders) – Stood out as a ball-carrier and also put his body on the line on defence in a losing cause.
4 Craig Clarke (Chiefs) – Impressed as his team's enforcer. His leadership qualities will be missed when he leaves the champions to join Connacht at the end of the season.
3 Jannie du Plessis (Sharks) – The rock on which the Sharks' scrum is built. Du Plessis had another good day at the office as his side destroyed the Cheetahs in the set-piece and he also put in a high work-rate in the tight-loose.
2 Stephen Moore (Brumbies) – Underlined his value to his side with some bullocking runs and also stood out in the set-pieces where his accurate line-out throwing was particularly impressive.
1 Pek Cowan (Western Force) – Another big game from a player who continues to improve in leaps and bounds. Scored a deserved try against the Kings, and kept on trying when things fell apart for the Force in the second half.

Joffrey Lupul loves Virginia Woolf
Jonathan Willis
December 10 2008 05:21PM
Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradles. - Virginia Woolf, 1929.
If you haven't seen it, there's yet another puff piece on Philadelphia Flyers forward Joffrey Lupul, this one at CBC.ca. Here are some of the highlights:
"Sometimes my confidence can get shaken a little… sometimes when things aren't going well you wait a little bit for someone else to do [the work]. That's something in my game I'd like to fix. I'd like to try to keep that confidence at a high level all the time but it's a long season and it's tough."
That's right Nation – it's a simple matter of confidence (just like last year ). CBC writer Doug Harrison notes that "quite often, when Lupul has lost his confidence, there has been a drastic dip in his production offensively" and cites Lupul's lost season in Edmonton. He quotes Lupul as saying that he "never found a spot in the lineup" during his time in Edmonton, and that Lupul learned to work harder over the summer as a result.
Harrison talks about how Lupul "is comfortable in a checking role on a winning team", and notes that a recent lineup shift will mean that Lupul "can expect to see about 19 minutes of ice time, a substantial increase from the 12 to 14 minutes he has played most of the season. His power-play minutes might also rise" (for the record, Lupul's averaging over 15 minutes a night.)
All of this, and I mean all of it, is fantasy. We can look at what statistical analysis tells us, or what the scouting tells us, because they tell us the exact same thing.
Let's look at this so-called checking line that Lupul was placed on – who did Lupul play with and against?
In the last six games the Flyers have played, Lupul has lined up against good opponents twice – once with Briere and Hartnell, and once with Carter and Hartnell. The games that he spent on the third line were with Glen Metropolit and one of Scottie Upshall or Andreas Nodl – and he wasn't being used in a checking role there, because he wasn't checking anybody. The best offensive player he lined up against during that time period was Matt Cullen – and the Hurricanes generally run their lines with Staal centering the top unit, Brind'Amour the second, and Matt Cullen the third.
In Lupul's time on the third line with Glen Metropolit, the duo has been outscored 4-2 by the nobodies (despite outshooting them 104-102). For the season as a whole, he's been outscored 19-12 and outshot 304-297, with the significant drop off likely caused by playing with better linemates against better players.
All along the way, the numbers have told us that Joffrey Lupul can't handle top-caliber opposition at the NHL level. He's a good, if streaky, scorer against lesser opposition and as long as he has legitimate line-mates, but that's it. Bottom line – it isn't a question of confidence; it's a question of ability.
Of course, we really don't need the numbers to tell us that – the image of Joffrey Lupul lazily coasting back into the defensive zone after a goal against is perhaps the image that best sums up the 2006-07 Oilers' season.
December 10 2008, 06:21PM
To be fair, confidence is certainly a real determinant of how well a player's going to play that night. But for as much as he may have "lacked confidence," you don't go through an entire year without dealing with that shit; every NHL team keeps sports psychologists on staff for that exact purpose.
Bottom line: he didn't play very well in Edmonton, end of discussion. I'm way past the point of giving a flying turd about some jerk who had a bad season with us two years ago, whomever he was traded for.

It isn't just Lupul - it's Lupul's player type. Guys look at those 28 goals and say he's a great offensive player - but he's a one-dimensional player.
Lupul's a nice example because he's difficult to argue against. There are plenty of other examples of players who can't handle the tough opposition. It isn't to say that someone who generally sees soft opponents can't handle the toughs; just that sometimes they can't make the transition.
I think Lupul is a money player. And I don't mean that in a good way. He signed his nice 4 year deal and so now he's just not as interested as he was last year. I think part of that issue is definitely a one dimensional player - a shooter who doesn't have much else to his game.
Maybe there is confidence issue there, but from what I saw in Edmonton, last year there is definitely a desire issue in that he doesn't work hard enough, often enough.
In an interesting aside, we trade Lupul and Smith for Pitkanen and then ship Pitkanen for Cole. At this point, both players a buried on the third line, not producing while Pitkanen who has missed a few games with injury seems to be ahead of the two forwards stats-wise.
Pitkanen 12 points in 20 games -2 Lupul 13 points in 27 games -6 Cole 8 points in 26 games -3
December 11 2008, 12:05AM
it comes down to lupul for cole. 10 times out of 10 i'll take cole over lupul. Cole is having a brutal year so far but just the way he handles himself makes him infinateley more likable than lupul. I swear to you if they let cole play the right ide on the second line, he'll start putting up the points.
@ max fisher: Cole may be having trouble getting on the score sheet, but I wouldn't say he is having a brutal year. Cole is the best in the league in drawing penalties (3.2/60), is one of the Oilers best hitting forwards and tends to give a full out effort every shift (from what I see of him on the ice). Unlike Lupal, guys like Cole bring so much more than just goals and assists to the game.
Good post JW.
I for one am usually interested in ex-oilers; particularly when they blossom with another team and I wonder "why not here?" I began caring when they traded away Miroslav Satan for some crappy defenseman that never made the main squad. I was a big Satan fan at the time and I was pissed.
Have you guys ever noticed the Oiler (and Oiler fan) tendency to place square pegs being in round holes. I remember noticing it with Jason Arnott. He would have been an awesome second line guy, but instead people expected him to be a superstar when he really wasn't. Granted he sometimes floated around center, but he has looked pretty awesome ever since he left and has been playing on the second line for NJ, Dallas, and Nashville.
Penner and Cole remind me of Arnott. Sometimes they aren't awesome, but have the ability to be deadly when they get going. They are second line guys - and I am happy to have them.
Other players who I remember being second/third line players expected to play like first line superstars are Lupul (as described by JW), Corson, Carter, Peca, Marchant, Torres, and Comrie.
All of these guys have skill, but should not have been expected to be first line players.
I remember when he was here in E-town, my cousin and I ran into him at a bar. He was absolutely hammered. They had a game to play the next day, and I recall my cousin getting so angry at seeing this he walked up to him and said- "Lupul, you're minus 26, put down the drink and go practice." We were asked to leave shortly after this encounter.

@ Cam:
Completely agree.
December 11 2008, 09:58AM
@ Jeremy:
Wow, I actually LOLed at this. That's probably one of the most hilarious stories I've read, Jeremy.

December 11 2008, 10:35AM
@ Jeremy: I feel bad for his bathroom, he probably missed the toilet bowl when he puked.
@ Jeremy: That reminds me of the story my co-worker told me. She was out with her boyfriend celebrating with his co-workers and they ran into Raffi Torres. She said he was absolutely hammered and he invited her and some of the other girls to the back room to do some coke. I asked her if she was sure it was Torres and she said she could bring her shirt in that she was wearing and get the chest area finger printed if I didn't believe her! LMAO That was about a week after Torres came out in the paper and said that he was cleaning up his act and getting serious about his game.
If there was a Real media in the city;) someone would've written how Lupul was never a good fit to play in a city where hockey matters to more than just the 20k or so that show up to watch the games.
He really doesn't give much of a **** and he's as interested in excuses as anything else.
It was up to Lowe to know this and he gambled on the wrong horse.

Chopsticks feels more like a home kitchen than a restaurant. The owner, Christine Chou, loves to experiment and create custom dishes. She visits tables, discusses ingredients and flavors, and then, with a conspiratorial grin, encourage diners to hand over their menus and trust her to come up with something they'll love.
Christine is savvy about nutrition and dietary restrictions. She is a long-time vegetarian, and eager to discuss the health benefits of plant-based diets. The first time we visited, we talked for ten minutes about veganism, Bangor, vegetables, and Chinese spices. We were treated to a huge platter of green beans in a spicy brown sauce, with the most perfectly fried tofu I've ever eaten. Christine stopped by several times to make sure we liked it, and to tell us about the origin of many of the ingredients.
Steamed vegetable dumplings are always the highlight for me. I am a sucker for vegetables wrapped in starch. Stuffed with chives, scallions, and tofu, they're dipped in a tamari, ginger, garlic, and chili sauce.
Christine loves putting a traditional Chinese spin on seasonal vegetables. In the spring, she served us baby eggplant and fiddleheads. Recently, we ordered take-out and asked for two vegan meals, leaving the details up to the chef. She made curried tofu with snow peas, green bell pepper, carrots, bok choy, onion, and mushroom. It was sweet and spicy, with flavors of cumin and coriander in a light sauce.
We also had a simple sauté of bean sprouts and watercress. Grassy, earthy, slightly bitter watercress and a hint of ginger dominated the flavor. The crunchy sprouts and watercress stems felt healthy, perfect for a hot summer night.
As the vegan menu is limited only by the season's vegetables and Christine's imagination, Chopsticks earns four chickpeas.

Do the kids in your life like silly vikings, creative cooking, and stories that make them think? Then they'll love Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice (whew, what a mouthful!) by author and illustrator Nathalie VanBalen.
With a tone that's thoughtful and fun, VanBalen tells the story of Askel and Krog, two vikings with a passion for making juice. When they read that juicing the shells of yellow spotted snails will make them stronger, they confront an ethical dilemma. With their friend Thora, the vikings consider questions like: Who do the yellow spotted snail shells belong to? How would it feel to be someone else's food?
While the book's message is serious, the riotous, colorful multimedia illustrations and text are a joy. Visit VanBalen's website for a peek at her work. Kids will love the free coloring pages and opportunities to submit their own artwork and recipes at VanBalen's blog. To order the book, visit VanBalen's store, where you'll find buttons, magnets, and handmade, limited edition sewn and stuffed characters from the story.
One MittenMachen reader can win a copy of Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit Juice, along with some buttons featuring Thora and two of VanBalen's adorable food drawings (perfect for your kiddo's backpack). What a great back-to-school gift for the veggie-loving child in your life!

DALLAS, TEXAS -- Whoever owns Correctional Billing Service should be thrown in jail right alongside our loved ones who have committed crimes! They are criminals. I have dealt twice with these people, ALL of whom cannot speak English very well and you have to strain to understand. My husband is incarcerated. Yes, he did wrong and is now paying for it. I am not upset so much for me as for my mother-in-law.
First, for myself, like I said I have dealt twice with them. First about a month ago. My husband could not get through to me, but could call his mother. His calls to me were blocked. I called my phone company - Verizon who said they did not put a block on my husband's calls to me. I then called CBS/Embarq who said that they were having a system error and it would be resolved within 24 hours and was. My mother-in-law then had a block put on by CBS, saying her phone company won't be handling CBS billing anymore and she HAD to pay with a prepaid account - after 5 months of the bill going through her phone company.
Her, being older and not well, cannot go down to the prison very often as she has health problems. She did prepay with a credit card as she was ordered (and not nicely) by CBS and the block was lifted. She then found out that CBS charged her credit card for phone calls and submitted the same phone calls to her phone company - Verizon also! Double billing I am sure is illegal in all 50 states! She contacted her credit card and the credit card fraud department is now involved.
As for me, I have just been informed by CBS that a block has once again been put on my calls from my husband, because they said charges incurred on April 17th and 18th were rejected from my phone company and sent back to CBS so I MUST open a prepaid account - all because of $3.05! I called my phone company and they said they NEVER sent back ANY charges, they haven't gotten CBS's billing yet, so how would CBS know that Verizon rejected those charges anyway - this being only the 22nd of April? Also, my phone bill is current and they absolutely did NOT send back the charges.
I have been told from my phone co. that CBS has been doing this a lot so they can get you to set up a prepaid account and collect their $6.95 charges every time you put money into your account. I have been paying their bill through my phone company for 5 months now and am always current. I have talked to 5 separate people within a 24 hour period over at CBS as to why a block was put on and everyone gives me a different answer. Someone told me just like my mother-in-law that Verizon isn't handling the billing for CBS anymore (Verizon vehemently denied this).
One guy told me I had already opened a prepaid account, which I didn't. He couldn't tell me who authorized it. Another said I opened it and then closed it out on the same day???? Weird! This one takes the cake - the COMPUTER opened up a prepaid account for me automatically on APRIL 3RD because of charges returned from my phone company for APRIL 17TH & APRIL 18TH!!!! HUH????? I didn't know the 17th & 18th came before the 3rd!! The problem is they have a MONOPOLY and think they can do whatever they wish.
And why is it that they charge larger sums a minute for a phone call in some states than others? Here in Michigan, we pay $1.80 for 15 minutes or 12 cents a minute. I have heard of $1.00 a minute in other states. I absolutely refused to pay the $3.05 until I see my phone bill and make sure they are not going to "double-dip" on me like they did on my mother-in-law. I am being blackmailed because they refuse to take the block off until I pay.
Well, they can keep the block on and until it's taken off I will do things the old fashioned way and write letters. And I will also call The Michigan Public Service Commission, The Federal Communications Commission and the Michigan Department of Corrections - just to let them know that this great system they employ to allow prisoners to call out is a scam. I do believe some sort of class action suit may be the only way to break up their monopoly.
And to all of you SINLESS people who boo-hoo those of us who have loved ones in prison - it is nothing to you now. But when you suddenly have someone you love do something wrong that YOU have NO control over, and all you want is just to hear their voice for a few minutes a week. To let your children hear their daddy's voice - it's not their fault. Then it will become a big deal. These men and women of ours are paying for their crime and so are we, in more ways than one. We don't need your insults on top of our suffering. Jesus forgives!
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- I am so angry because I am experiencing the very same thing as all of you and I cannot believe that it can be so trying just to speak to your family member who is imprisoned. It is not like this comes free to us, as a matter of a fact my last calls are in the neighborhood of $25.00 for a brief 15 minutes that includes two interruptions by the phone company saying 1 minute left and then 30 seconds left.
I can also see that the jails or board of corrections must be getting a huge kickback, as well as probably other elected officials and lobbyist. There is just too much chatter on the internet in regard to this horrendous crime against law abiding people who are caught up in a horrific situation not of their own making.
Let one of them get in our place and see how quickly they start trying to correct this major/global phone ripoff. I am so angry, right now. I have been on hold for 32 minutes with Global Tel and just got off with the Correctional Billing answering service that ask you to press every number on the phone and you still never talk to a human. If they have such an abundance of calling why in God's name do they not hire other people, or fire some that they have? They are making enough money off each call to at least be available to their customers. There must be an answer to this.
My son has been moved from a county jail to a prison in MS. For better than 2 years we dealt with Correctional Billing, which was not easy, but we did purchase an extra cell phone on our plan and had it on a local number inside the county of the jail. When he dialed that number it was forwarded to our home cell number. This allowed us to be able to talk to him 4 times for what we were paying previously for 15 minutes.
After he was sentenced and sent to the prison, that came to a quick end. It is inside a different calling area and company and we have not been able to get a call in to Global in order to set up an account or even find out where our money on the other account went to. (Going on 3 weeks now) I wish that every family of an inmate could just refuse calls and not put money on an account and see how long it would take before they started calling us.
I know that would be most impossible but as I see it this is the only way to ever get their attention. I am open for any advise or I will be involved in any type of campaign or petition to whomever to get some results. There is far too many of us for them to ignore for very long if we band together.
Remember without our money they are nothing. Have you ever paid so much money to be treated so poorly? Me neither. I am sick and tired of it. It has only been 3 years and I have many more to go so I am not going away. God Bless each of you, I know your pain.

Hope this helps someone to shut them down.
CALIFORNIA, ALABAMA -- Recently I had charges on my regular phone bill to which I am paying. I get a bill from Global Tel Link on another portion of my phone bill. I call them and they suggest I pre-pay for the calls and put a minimum of 50.00 on my credit card. So I was given the number to Correctional Billing. After a lot of questions I agree and then when I get ready to make the transaction, they say that will be 58.00. Never once did they disclose that until the end of the call I would be paying an 8.00 service fee.
I told her to make it for the 38.00 that I owed on the bill and that I would deal with my carrier and she states that I have to call back in 2 hours because she could not bring up that screen. I used my whole lunch hour doing this and said I would call after work, each time at least a 30 to 40 minute wait.
I started to use the service and then got my regular bill which was crazy, during this time I had many dropped calls and the calls the shorter they are the higher the cost. So I called the phone number to Correctional Billing. I asked them to adjust all the calls that were five minutes or less, because in addition to the calls dropping to my landline, they also have a woman speaking on an automated message that interrupts every 15 minutes and the message lasts for about 12 seconds.
During these interruptions is where I get the dropped calls, because the phone for the inmates monitors the calls in order to prevent three way calling, which if you have call waiting or any services it will end your call forcing the inmate to call back, again another ridiculous charge.
I have had so many that I started to keep track of them at the company's suggestion. So just yesterday I get my bill and I am astonished to see that not only did they bill me through 1-12-07 through 1-31-07 but they never took the charges off. In fact they re-listed the calls and I went through each one and compared, the only calls that were equal or legitimate were the first few down the row, all the rest had the same dates of the calls received, but different times, different amount of minutes and now higher charges. They did not adjust the calls but rebilled them to my regular carrier.
I asked a supervisor named ** and she told me that they took of the connection fee on all the dropped calls, so I asked how much that was and she told me that it was $2.45, so I took one of the calls supposed to be adjusted which was 2.75 and told her that if the calls were adjusted the connection fee that would leave a .30 balance on that call. She got quiet and transferred me to a supervisor named **.
I explained that I did not owe this money and that the charges were all wrong, the calls adjusted were not done so but rebilled to my carrier, I was told the calls were going to be taken off, until that day I had never heard of the connection fee and now they have a block on my phone preventing me from sending my loved one money so that he can buy minutes in there to call me without having to deal with this company.
I explained that all I wanted to do was pay the 12.55 supposed balance and have the block removed. I was told all they were authorized was to take was a 58.00 payment. I responded by telling them that why in the world would I want to make a 58.00 payment when I was already getting raped. I explained that I should not have an overage because when they put the block on my phone I had 13.65 on the account, they were supposed to do a credit for calls dropped on 02-02-07 and they also showed up on my bill.
I have noticed that there are one minute calls that I am billed during hours that I am clearly at work, and am not here to accept the charges. In addition I am a universal life line user and Pursuant to Resolution T-16901, all telecommunications carriers are required to apply CPUC mandated Public Program surcharge rates excluding (1) Universal Lifeline Telephone Service, which I can prove that I have.
I understand that the terms of payment shall be according to the rules, regulations, and laws of the State of California. This precisely why I am making my objection to billed charges and reporting them in writing to Global Tel Link within sixty (60) days after receipt of my bill.
I requested all the rules and regulations on their company sent to my address, she said it would take 7-10 business days. I asked for all charges made to my credit card, and any and all information associated with my account. I then asked for the head of the corporation so that I could file a complaint, she said it was **. I told here that I needed to know who would accept service on the companies behalf, that is when she gave me the fax and PO Box to the company in Alabama. I told her that I am not stupid, you cannot serve a complaint on a PO Box. She hung up on me at that point.
I called back and again I got the first representative and she told me that I had to use their service. If I wanted to pay the 12.55 I could do so through money order and it would take 7-10 days to clear, but that no block would be lifted from my phone even after I paid the 12.55. She said I had no choice but to go through them because they serviced Riverside County. I told her I do not have to do anything, she said "well the good luck getting calls from your loved one" and again hung up on me.
I checked on the address for billing disputes and the rep. gave me the wrong address to send my dispute to, maybe in hopes of me passing the 60 day limit, she gave me PO Box 1010 Selma, PA 36702, when in all actuality it is the above referenced addresses. I am only to conclude that the representative willfully gave me a address that would lead me in the wrong direction. Since under your Rule 2.0 Number 10 it gives another address for handling disputes.
I planned to send the 12.55, and not use their service, the inconvenience of being able to take a payment for 58.00, but not to pay off your balance was unreal, and the fact that they used the same billing dates and calls to rebill for the same dates but at higher charges and all at different times. Out of a supposed 60 calls only 32 were actually valid calls. The thing that burns me up is this company is making money off of other people's misfortune and doing it dishonestly. I am looking to file suit against this corporation, and if my loved one dies because of his heart problem without being able to call home, the issue will change.
I am sure that he will be exonerated because he did not do what he is accused of, but I will not allow this company to make money off of this man's or my misfortune. I owe for certain calls which I can verify through my phone bill. I want a response from someone in your office regarding these bogus charges, I dispute anything 10 minutes and under, these calls are dropped so that the person has to call back resulting in another charge. Service may be cancelled by the Customer by providing verbal or written Notice to the Company, which I elect to do now, for violations associated with the tariffs and the violations and fraudulent use of this service.
Under your Rule 2.0 Number 14, states that "Credit allowance for interruptions of service which are not due to Carrier's testing or adjusting, to the negligence of the Customer, or to the failure of channels, equipment or communications system provided by Customer, are subject to the general liability provisions set forth in Rule No. 18, herein. It shall be the obligation of the Customer to notify the Carrier of any interruptions in service.
Before giving such notice, Customer shall ascertain that the trouble is not being caused by any action or omission of Customer, not within his control, or is not in wiring or equipment connected to the terminal of Carrier." I have made several calls, checked the lines, called my carrier and there is no reason for the dropped calls, the calls are to a land line, and I have made all inquiries in a timely fashion to your company advising them of the problem. However you fail to post Rule Number 18 on your website.
I would also like clarification as to pre-paid use, there is very little associated with it on your website. Which I find disturbing, since most consumers use the pre-paid method and are not told of the connection surcharges associated with its use. In all actuality, the user pays 50.00 minimum fee, but other associated fees which are not disclosed to the consumer are then taken out leaving a very small balance for actual phone use. In addition the representative states that there is a minimum of 50.00 for the use of service, but according to your website the minimum payment to begin service is 25.00 this is also not disclosed to the customer.
The unsuspecting consumer then thinks that this is a more cost efficient way to receive calls from their loved ones when it really is not. I can give you an example, I had 20.00 left on my card and planned to replenish once a week, however before I could do that a block was placed on the phone. I checked my balance and I had a call from the facility, it was a dropped call so immediately after getting this call I checked my balance and the dropped call left me with a balance of 7.00 dollars, it took 13.00 off my pre-paid account which never put back.
Global Tel Link is supposed to provide you with a rate of the accepted call, and your website states that most billing rates are provided during the introduction of the attempted collect call. If the rate is not offered, contact the Billing and Customer Service Department, however the consumer does not know this until after the outrageous calls come in and customer service does not provide this information voluntarily when the consumer begins using their service. I am willing to pay the money I owe, but I want my account seriously looked into, I am sure that with all the people out there it will not be hard to file a class action lawsuit. I am very serious about this matter.
I opened an account with this company about 6 months ago and had nothing but problems with this company. There were problems with the online services, the phone system, the chat option, and I couldn't even use my credit card to make a payment. I had to speak with a supervisor who didn't even resolve my issue. I was told to call BillMatrix. As a customer why should I have to call your company's processing provider? But I did because as you know if we want to talk to our loved ones we don't have a choice but to use this company, and it is very apparent that that is why there is no help or support for the customers.
The processing company said they didn't refuse my payment, "call CBS back". So I call back. They say call them or my financial institution. I do both nothing is resolved. No one can figure out the problem nor did they try. I closed my account a few months ago because of how frustrated I was with this company. Now I re-opened my account and it;s even worse. I still cannot use my credit card, make a payment online, get through to a human being through your "customer service" number.
This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. There is no empathy or service for that matter from anyone at this company. I would hope they care about their company and customers, even though we have to use their service every business person knows you don't have a service without customers. I have been hung up on when I was supposed to be transferred. On the chat option they gave me the wrong phone number and then disconnected me. UNBELIEVABLE.
This is the only company I can used to talk to my fiance and I haven't talked to him in 5 months because of this company. Worst service ever. I don't understand how this is even legal. Send all your complaints to the Better Business Bureau.
P.O.BOX 650757 -- I was last on here. Talking to you about drop calls and when they drop, you still are paying for them. You will see them on your bill but will not see the drop or disconnect error on your bill. I'm just now getting a paper from Correctional Billing Service, to let them know when the phone calls where drop, but the key is this. Talk to your love one and max how many call he can do, if the drop call never hit you, you've been lucky, but if they have, please take the time out and call, talk to Mr. ** or Ms. **, supervisor and manager. I had to call several times so when and if I continue them to court, on small claim, it will be in the books or records.
Now to say all this make a list of times of drop calls, time and date. When you call and report it ask for ID # and name, time you talk to them (US military time), they go by that real good and then write the 800 or 877 #. You call to and from home or cell. For example I allowed my husband to call home 7 time in a month, that's twice a week or however he uses it. It's to be 7 times at 6.49 for 15 minutes plus a 1$ some odd change more for taxes. Huh????
Yes, it is, here the kicker. You get your bill and see all these phone call accepted, but you don't see the drop calls. False! You do see the drop call, only you are being charged for them, so if they have to send you a paper as they did me to get my permission to listen to our conversations?????? Just to get accurate, I find that a problem they are not accurate on our bills, you never can get past Mr. ** or Ms. ** but I found a way. Call BBB and you will get the CEO of this. I have information, I will blog it next time sorry it not with me, remember you are still being charged even if the phone is hung up from a drop call. Time is still ticking.
I am writing this review to see if there has been anyone to actually DO something about CBS taking advantage of families already in despair. I'd love to know if anyone has been successful in getting something done about this company.
Since this IS a review board, I'll go ahead with a short review. I have a long list of complaints, but I'll just give the most recent. I have VOIP phone service (OOMA), and I am able to purchase a local number through OOMA to where my sister is incarcerated. This worked fine for quite some time, as it is $3 each time she calls. This is still expensive two-three times each week, but it is bearable.
I'm not sure how my account looks different on their end, but they somehow knew I used OOMA. They said your phone company uses "call forwarding", so I can't use it. They suggested I get a new phone company or one of their new cell phones.
I will say that the customer service reps have been much more polite over the last 6 months, so I gather there have been some changes there. However polite, they were not very helpful in this case. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He told me how my phone company offers a "security risk", because they can't tell who the call is coming from. I told them that my name appears on the caller ID, and that my address is on the account like any phone. The only difference is that it is local, and I live an hour away.
He THEN told me that they don't make enough money doing it that way, and that that my phone number would be permanently blocked. He said I'll have to get a new number, but that would probably be blocked too. He said I'll have to switch phone companies or use their new cellular service.
When you play by their CRAZY rules and hoops for years, and it comes down to them just wanting more money, I believe this is sickening! I HATE when people are bullied, especially people who are already down and taking a major hit. I could go on with other instances, but I'll spare you for now. If anyone has useful information about what rights we have an what we can do about these unfair practices, please let me know.
I paid for collect calls. During many phone calls I had dropped call after dropped call. I had to call in and ask for credit for everyone of them. They would only give me credit if the phone call was immediately returned. On 3-30-08 at 8:04 pm (duration of phone call 11 mins) and on 3-30-2008 at 1:47 pm (duration of phone call 15 mins) there was repeated distortion on the line. I could not carry on a conversation due to this distortion. I stayed on the line hoping it would stop. When I called the company regarding this issue, they said "yes we are experiencing problems right now". When I asked for a credit they told me to fax in a dispute. It took me five times to finally get the fax to work.
I gave them one week and called back then they told me they didn't receive my fax. They agreed to email their main office for me in regards to this. They told me it would take two weeks. On April 29th I had to call back in for other dropped calls and I asked about the calls from 3-30-2008. She said the investigation was complete and I would be receiving a full credit for both phone calls but to allow 24 hours for them to post.
On April 30th I called back when that had not posted. I was told they were busy dealing with other technical issues that day and to call tomorrow. When I called on May 1st they informed me that now their investigation showed that there was no issues with the calls and since I stayed on the line hoping it would stop I was responsible for the calls and that no credit would be issued. I explained that I didn't receive the services for which I paid and they said there was nothing they could do.
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA -- It really doesn't matter what they did to me it's the same thing they do to all of us. Rip us off and make mistakes that cause us not only anger and frustration but some of us deep depression and anxiety day to day. Why are they doing this? Cause they can simple as that. And if we don't try to stop this practice it will go on and on. More abuse and discrimination for future people that haven't got a clue what's in store for them when they try to connect with another human being that needs to hear a friendly voice.
Just because we want to talk to someone in jail does not mean we have to receive such poor expensive service and when we complain there is no one even accountable and they don't give a diddly anyway. They allow the reps to talk in a disrespectable, condescending, morally abusive way. This poor type of employee has to be because they pay poor wages and don't have any quality assurance practices in place cause guess what... they have a monopoly. You have no choice and they know it and it means more money in the pocket of the owners to hire ignorant low wage workers.
Now those of you who work for CBS will be all up in arms and try to blame us the customers and that just confirms that you don't really hear what is in this website. The mistakes you have made that causes us great pain and even defeat and that you allowed to continue to do this. If you're reading this you've come to this site to report outrageous mistakes and you believe someone cares. This company doesn't care but all of us care and we must do something. The problem is we are not united. I read over and over about joining a class action suit but no one takes the ball.
We need to start a website that we can talk to each other and unite and form a plan. There are a lot of things we can do if we unite. You know in your being this bloated corrupt practice has to stop. I admit I am computer skills lacking and I don't know how to start a website. This site is not very helpful cause we can't unite.
We are human beings and should expect to be treated fairly not made to feel exploited and responsible for substandard treatment because we want to talk to a human behind bars. I think if we could unite and we have some numbers we can all write, call, email different people, places to start to bring down this Goliath and expose this corruption. It's been done before.
I had never had a problem with this company. I've been using them for several years since there is no choice. My son is incarcerated, therefore, I am in the mercy of this company. But either billing through my local phone company for years, or most recently, I've set up a cell phone account, my bills and usage are always correct and accurate!
I like the latter system better. My son can now call me anytime, anywhere and cheaper by $2. It's convenient and portable. I prepay any amount I want, plus $6.95 one-time load fee. My son can call my cell phone anytime, anywhere I'm at until the amount I loaded into the account is gone. At that point, I can re-load money into the account again. To keep from paying too many load fees, start out, say, $100. The more money you load into the account, the less you have to pay the load fee since it is charged each time you load money into the account.
I've talked to their customer service a few times, everyone had been nice and helpful to me. I think people that have problems with them may not have treated them as humans. Don't forget that they are humans too and treat them with respect to get their respect. Talk to them kindly and I bet you'll get what you want.

How are you? Please keep in touch!
I am soory Scott, very much for calling you the (Brian0 i totally aplogise
I wish that i had the training that you said is required but when i was in the service i did not have to do that, but at times i wanted to but unable to, due to I was the only make child to keep the family name going.
I was denied for many things that I wanted to do even, coming out of a chopeer with ropes ( forgot the name) , airborne, you name it i was denied they said that i had a bad knee which after 15 years agter i was realeased had surgery, so since they denied me that, I will be able to hopefully get 2 boys in my name and one of the 2 will serve our country with confidence and be proud
Brian that is very intersting what are you are doing,
I have a question for you for any type of job position what kind of of requirements that you need to even have a consideration ??
I am a Vet not that it means much at these time but do you have to have some kind of security clearance which I do not have. or is there another way that you considered to be a possible person for employment and what kind of requirements are they looking for ... if I can ask what positions are they looking to fill. ???

Have a Happy New Year.
Does it taste like chicken? Do you eat the head?
I agree, I like the Asian culture. They seem very family oriented, and they respect their elders. I was reading a short synopsis about Asian cusine- more specifically chinese food. The author was stating that American Chinese food is not eaten by Chinese people. Chinese people tend to like fish with the head on and General Zao's chicken is made entirely different in China. Just about every thing in America's Chinese Resturant is "Americanized".
What traditional Chinese food have you tasted?
Scott not that I am being nosey but I saw that you commented on yourself, I hope you read my first comment on your wall how to respond to someone that made a post on your wall
I hope you are having a great day !!!
Wow, your personal bio is very impressive. Did you ever see the movie The Body Guard with Whitney Houston? Do you think the movie portrayal was accurate?
Based upon your extensive traveling history, what culture did you enjoy the most?
Hello i hope you are having a great day !!!1 How are you /

And a Little More
by Jad Chambers
posted Oct 31 2012 5:06AM
There are a few more things that go with the Halloween/October theme that I can recommend. I won't go into them in great detail (like I'm apt to do most of the time,) just assume that if something I mention makes this list it's worthy of a look.
Event Horizon – Better at being "Hellraiser in space" than "Hellraiser: Bloodlines," which WAS actually "Hellraiser in space." Stars Lawrence Fishburne and Sam Neil.
The Watcher in the Woods – If you want something scary that's OK for young kids… this will freak 'em out plenty. And some of the scares will get to adults too. Look for Bettie Davis in a very creepy role.
Pitch Black – A decent Vin Diesel action/horror movie.
Cabin in the Woods – Sends up many other horror movies while being a great one itself. Written by "The Avengers" Joss Whedon.
Ringu or Ju-on (original Japanese versions) – Nothing against the American versions of Japanese horror movies, but if a horror movie is based upon a Japanese movie AND you can stand subtitles… get the original version because they are usually much better.
And that's not knocking great classics like Night of the Living Dead, The Shining, The "original 3" horror classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man,) or any of the other big names. Those are great, I was just trying to bring up some titles people may not be familiar with.
Netflix has the full run of "The Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." For the former, don't miss episodes "A Game of Pool," "The Hitchhiker" and "Shadow Play." And for the latter I suggest "And So Died Riabouchinska," "The Waxwork," and "A Nightmare in 4-D."
The X-Files is also on Netflix, and had some good scary episodes. I recommend "Humbug," "Grotesque," "Ice," and "Die Hand Die Verletzt."
You can't go wrong with the classics. Mary Shelly and Frankenstein, Bram Stoker and Dracula, H.G. Wells and "War of the Worlds." All great in their original forms. And horror hit a new benchmark with H.P. Lovecraft. As far as anything a little more current, well…
"Storm Front: a Novel of the Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher. This is not horror, it's being called by some "urban fantasy." But it's a good time to start on the Dresden Files, as the next book in the series (book 12 I think) is coming out soon.
"Regina's Song" by David and Leigh Eddings. David Eddings was an author who has written several books I like. Most of them were parts of larger series, but "Regina's Song" was a standalone effort that was pretty entertaining.
And of course Stephen King is kind of "King of Modern Horror." But I really suggest his short story collections over any of his long form novels. "Night Shift," "Nightmares and Dreamscapes," and "Everything's Eventual" are all full of great scary, funny, and above all good short stories. Don't miss "The End of the Whole Mess" in "Nightmares and Dreamscapes, one of my favorites.
I went into detail about "Silent Hill 2," but for a (soon to be not) current generation console you could do a lot worse than "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories." It's basically a remake (or in this case Wiimake) of the first Silent Hill. But it's not just the first one with better graphics. It's actually a pretty good entry in the series in its own right, kind of the first one from a different perspective. And the Wii hardware use of the Wiimote as a flashlight to look around and also as you cellphone works really well.
"Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem." A very dark and Lovecraftian game. It uses some cute 4
wall breaking tricks to make the player not only doubt the character's sanity… but maybe his own as well.
And I hope I can suggest "Amnesia: The Dark Descent." It got good reviews. People whose opinions I respect have said it's good and very scary. And I bought it last night for PC on Steam. It's on a 75% off Halloween sale on Steam and I have little doubt it will be worth the $4.99 sale price.
Feel free to suggest your favorite Halloween themed bit of entertainment. Maybe someone will suggest something I haven't seen yet.
I'd like that.

Love these!
"I got these in the brown/tan giraffe print. Really cute and can't wait to wear them during summer. Go a half size down. I got them in my usual 6.5 and it's a little big but I'll just use foot petals cushions to make them fit better. Hopefully they will bring this one back in other colors/prints. Would love to see this in a purple/tan or purple/black giraffe print."

"These shoes run a little long but because I have wide feet, they ended up fitting well. They were a bit stiff the first time I wore them but they were more comfortable after that. I have Muscular Dystrophy and use a can to walk. I hated having to give up pumps and higher heels. These wedges are a great compromise!"
