Portfolio Protection Vehicles & Services
Consumer Complaints and Reviews
I had to take my 2011 Ford Flex in for repairs. No problem, I thought, it's still under the extended warranty from Portfolio/First Extended Service Corp. Then I find out that even though I have the "Plan B" coverage, which is the "Plan P" and "Plan A" combined (or basically everything) they don't cover fuel pumps and I'm on the hook for over $1100. Thankfully I have an outstanding service rep at Santa Margarita Ford who called Portfolio and argued on my behalf and they agreed to reconsider and cover the repair. Portfolio then tagged me with a $100 deductible.
On my contract in box 2 "Check Deductible Amount" the item checked is Other and no amount is written in. This was intended to mean zero. Blank, null, empty, zero all pretty much mean the same in my book. Lo and behold in small print at the bottom of the contract is the line "A $100 Deductible will apply unless otherwise indicated in Box 2." The way I see it, checking the Other box does mean that something is "otherwise indicated", but not Portfolio. No, they want to squeeze you for every penny they can and get away with not paying for any repairs they can. This company is in the business of screwing consumers. Their entire business model is based on the premise of pay only when absolutely necessary and make that as difficult as possible. I'll never get another warranty from them.
I bought the extended warranty for $2250 at the dealership. 2 years later, I thought it would come in handy. WAS I WRONG. Car was towed 8/29/16 to the Pep Boys repair shop. On 9/7/16 Pep Boys called me to inform me that they could not get in contact with Portfolio Protection/First Extended Corp to authorize the work. They were concerned because the part was needing to be ordered. It was nice to know Pep Boys cared I had been without my car for a week. I told them I would see if I could make any progress - I called the warranty company only to be on hold for 15 min. The customer service guy was named Mike - I think. He was beyond rude. Did ZERO to help me. I asked if he could please have someone call Pep Boys since they obviously couldn't get through by pressing #1 for repair shops. He informed me they were an Inbound call center not an Outbound and it was Pep Boys job to call them.
I called Pep Boys and told them what I experienced. I told them to order the part and worse case scenario I would pay for it. I then sent an email to Portfolio Protection/First Extended notifying them of what happened. I've yet to this day get a response. 9/8/16 I call the warranty company again. This time I waited for 18 minutes before speaking to Christian. He was very nice and informed me the wait times were higher than usual and that Pep Boys were like me experiencing long wait times and maybe didn't have time to hold. He apologized to me for the experience I encountered with his co-worker the day before. He also asked what was the diagnosis on my car and said it would be covered. He told me to have Pep Boys call back in and instead of pressing the option for repair shops to press 2 for contract holders and ask for him. He would get them to an adjuster if one was available or get one scheduled.
9/12/16 Pep Boys called to ask when I was picking my car up. They never were able to get in contact with anyone. They told me they had 45 min hold times each time they called - sometimes less, sometimes more. 9/13/16 - I called the warranty company before picking my car up today. After waiting 22 minutes on hold I spoke to another horrible rep.
He informed me since the work was done, he and I had no business to discuss. He seemed to get agitated when I informed him of my conversation with Christian a few days prior. He must of gotten a promotion while we were on the phone because all of a sudden his title changed to "Adjuster" and I was out of luck. He REFUSED to transfer me to anyone above him. Said other shops get through all day and mine lied. He gave me a Bye Bye and hung up on me!!! I called the corporate 800 number only for a girl to transfer me right back to the customer service claims line. I picked up my car for $478. It should of only cost my deductible of $100. This company is a complete joke. I'm in the process of canceling the contract. They need to be reprimanded.
So I bought my used 2011 Honda Civic from my local Chevrolet dealership here in Oklahoma City. When I purchased the vehicle, I went ahead and bought the extended warranty on the vehicle from Portfolio (First Extended Service Corporation) just in case something happened. Well with my luck, it did. Brought the car to my local Honda dealership and they diagnose that the bottom end of my motor is knocking so they will need to replace it. I dropped my Honda off at the dealership on June 20th, 2015 knowing they won't be able to diagnose it till Monday.
After the diagnoses, Honda got back to me real quick to tell me that I need to replace my motor. They contacted First Extended to get an approval to proceed with the repair. The adjuster didn't come show up till June 26th. Due to him showing up on a Friday, didn't hear anything back until July 1st. Then First Extended failed to inform my Honda rep that I needed to show proof of maintenance before they can proceed. Luckily I keep all of that. So I faxed everything to them on July 3rd. Well, due to the holiday that weekend, I didn't hear back until July 7th stating that they approved the repair and that they have order a new used motor. They told my Honda rep that the motor should be arriving at their facility by the end of July 10th. Guess what, it wasn't there.
So the following week I called and called to find out what's the hold up. Everyone kept giving me the run around so I didn't know what was going on. Finally the motor shows up on the 17th but Honda couldn't start work until the following week. I found out the reason why it took so long to receive my engine was because whomever that processed the order had it shipped to the wrong facility and state. So I didn't receive my car back until the July 23rd. Literally, my car was at the shop for a whole month. They only approved me up to $180 for a car rental. That's only a week's worth that I had a car to get to work and stuff. And to top it off, it's been 2 months now since the claim was open and I haven't been reimburse yet for my car rental. This is by far the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Never again would I buy warranty from this company nor will I ever recommend them to anyone.
I have the hi-tech service agreement from portfolio. I have read all the fine print and understand that the service agreement is with the company from which I purchased my vehicle from. National Automotive Group of Jacksonville, NC is denying a claim for a leaking exhaust manifold because the warranty doesn't cover bolts that are broken. But the warranty does cover the manifold and all seals and gaskets of covered parts, which in turn would cover the repair minus the bolts which would need to be taken out to repair the gaskets anyway. I would be willing to pay the service department inflated price for the hardware if they would cover the repair as the warranty states they should. Overall I believe the warranty is waste of consumer money.
In August 2014 the radio on my 2012 Hyundai Azera stopped working. Since the car contains a lot of electronic systems I purchased an extended coverage warranty from Portfolio/First Extended Service to cover just this type of eventuality. So walked in with my contract thinking I was in good shape, big mistake. My service department contacts Portfolio and they don't want to replace the radio - they want to try and see if they can fix it. To do this they need to remove the radio, ship it to a repair shop, have repair shop evaluate it to see if it can be repaired, order parts, wait for parts to arrive, perform the fix, then ship it back, then have it reinstalled. Total time period = 3 weeks.
The radio controls a bunch of systems on my car including backup camera, navigation, etc. So I explain that 3 weeks is an unacceptable timeline. They consult with adjusters saying it will take 24 hours. So 48 hours later I am told that they will only go with the original plan. My service department had offered to sell them the radio at cost but apparently Portfolio does not want to pay the extra $900. My service department asks for approval for a rental car but Portfolio will not pay for a rental car because my car is "drivable". So now I am driving around for who knows how long, with a huge hole in my dash and lacking access to a number of important features on my car.
The cherry on top came when my service manager asked them for the information to bill for shipping the radio to the repair shop. Portfolio told him that they would not pay for the shipping, that that was my responsibility. So they dictate a plan to fix the radio, but won't pay the costs associated with enacting this plan - kind of sounds like fraud doesn't it? So I have to call them back again and threaten them with a lawsuit for them to finally approve a shipping fee of $25 on a policy that I paid over $3000 for in order to enact a repair plan that they approved.
I spoke with the General Manager of the dealership I use for servicing and he says he will not do business with Portfolio/First Extended Service for exactly this reason. I have no idea when or if my radio will be repaired but I have had to call Portfolio almost every day and spend 30 minutes to an hour each time since I first brought it in to deal with one kind of hassle or another. Look online before you consider this policy. See how many complaints exist against Portfolio/First Extended Service. At least I "might" get my problem fixed. I truly empathize with all of the others who get their claims denied.
These people are all about getting your money and fighting you tooth and nail to keep every cent of it. My claim was very legitimate but Portfolio/First Extended Service seems to deliberately make it as cumbersome as possible to get your vehicle fixed, if at all - hoping you will give up and go away. There are other companies out there that provide extended warranties - explore them. Do not go with Portfolio/First Extended Service.

My wife, Sterling **, purchased this warranty through the dealer, Equity Auto Center in Tempe, Arizona on 11/03/2012. The price of this product was approximately $1552.00. The salesman said that this particular extended warranty was the best you can get, "top of the line." The salesman presented this warranty as a "peace of mind" for a young college girl on a limited income. The salesman and the company brochure stated the following: "YOU WILL DRIVE WITH CONFIDENCE AND SECURITY WHEN YOU CHOOSE THIS EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT." She was lead to believe that she would be covered for any expensive repair including high tech electrical problems. They also stated that they would provide roadside assistance and towing to the nearest repair facility.
We called for help on 06/18/2014. The roadside assistance they offered was $50.00 off a $400.00 tow bill. The Ford dealer diagnosed the problem as a transmission control module (TCM), a common problem. Ford in Page, Arizona gave us an estimate of approximately $1100.00. Portfolio denied the claim stating that the specific part was not mentioned in the contract. They offered no assistance whatsoever. I talked to a supervisor named Tony, who said that they can only pay for items specifically mentioned in the contract.
My issue is that the salesman and the company literature portray this product as something that will give you "confidence and security" knowing that you are covered. I can respect the fact that the contract does not specifically mention the TCM, but they led a young, naive woman to believe that she was covered. The sales presentation and the company literature are definitely deceptive. Neither of them have any qualms about taking advantage of unsuspecting consumers. I am completely dissatisfied with this company and do not recommend it to anyone!
I purchase the highest plan (Plan F) coverage for my Toyota when I bought it from the dealership (Dorsch Ford Lincoln Kia of Green Bay). Couple months down the road (4/3/14), one of the level sensors went bad. I called Portfolio aka First Extended Service on 4/3/14 about warranty on my Toyota. First Extended told me to bring back where I purchase the SUV from so they can diagnose it. I drop off my SUV to the dealership where I purchased from, dealership called and said First Extended will not cover the parts or service, it needs to be repaired. I called First Extended and talk to one of the reps, and he told me they will NOT cover the sensor.
I told him that the parts was listed as covered in the plan and also listed in their brochure. He keep cutting me off and said no only NON-WEARABLE parts are covered. That's bull ** I told him. So just told him to refund my money back but he said they won't because it's in the contract. It's a waste of money, time and scam that will never cover anything period. Also blame the dealership on selling these crap extended warranty to us consumers too. Damn dealership charged me $200 even when I told them what was wrong part need repair with the SUV. Dealer said they needed to diagnose what was wrong with it. I guess rip off dealership + rip off extended warranty = rip you off.
2006 325xi under an extended "Plan F Hi-Tech Coverage" warranty with Portfolio/Virginia Surety. On January 22, 2013, I started my car and it immediately started shaking. The "service engine soon" light came on. I took it straight to Autobahn DFW dealership of Fort Worth, TX. They repaired it the same day. The problem was an ignition coil, which they replaced. The dealer called in to Portfolio and was told this problem was not covered under warranty, so I paid $364.91 out of pocket to get my car back. I called Portfolio at 1 -800-527-3426 twice to try to get this resolved and speaking with a manager the second time. I explained that an ignition module is listed as covered under my warranty and when you look up that term on the internet, it says the ignition module is an interchangeable term with ignition coil. I sent them proof of what I was referring to. They still denied my claim and were very unwilling to cooperate or come to a resolution.

I order from here all the time and they're AMAZING!! I recently bought a new vape and today I'm purchasing a cartridge. 😉 I will be recommending all of my cannabis card holder family & friends..
EZTree is the best! their staff is so professional and helpful! Matt was the first person to ever deliver to me and he was so chill especially when he saw my pitty service dog and he delivered to me tonight. these guys are just awesome!
Fantastic first order and would recommend. there was a slight mess up with my order but it was fixed fast. great service and great people
Been using this delivery service for almost a year now and I absolutely love the convenience of having such friendly staff deliver my meds to my house. This company is fast, reliable, and EZ to work with!! Five stars for sure!!
It was so easy and fast. Signing up was a breeze, just a few texts and I was verified and ready to go. We had a little misunderstanding because the driver didn't bring what the budtender suggested. But the driver fixed it by bumping me up to a better bud. Ordering again today because these guys take care of their business. :) Wonderful! Love this place!!
These guys made it here before the pizza I ordered! I was so surprised. I ordered from them because I've been trying to find a good club for concentrates. The waxes are really expensive on the gram but the quality is very high. The nice thing is you can actually taste the strain they're named after. If you don't mind paying a little extra, they're a great choice.
got a great recommendation to try the White Walker OG. Got a 1/4 from Angela, who could not have been more professional or helpful. This bud is great, smell is super strong and the buds are sticky and nicely cured. Thanks everybody at EZ Tree!
I couldn't imagine going to any other delivery service; anytime of day they are constantly professional and timely. Everything is high quality for a great price. The drivers they have are great one of my faves is Matt.

FORGIVE us if we are being a bit thick, but shouldn't the totesport Lanzarote Hurdle be all about speed?
The 1974 Champion Hurdler, after whom the race was named, was virtually unbeatable around Kempton, hence the fact the race was framed in his honour to be run on his favourite track.
Welcome to the tradition-filled racing world of 2006 which finds Kempton out of commission until March, when their new all-weather track will be ready to give us yet more sand-shuffling (yawn).
The problem Kempton's owners, the Racecourse Holdings Trust, who wanted the race to be run on one of their own tracks, had to overcome was where to stage the 2006 Lanzarote.
Their answer? Don't switch Huntingdon ??A?A" a similar flat, speed track to Kempton which would have fitted the bill ideally and attracted the same horses a?" from yesterday, but let's ruin the race by running it on the stiffest track we have available, CARLISLE.
Carlisle, we ask you! A million miles away from Kempton and a place Lanzarote never went near in his life.
The result! A poor field of 12 (21 ran in 2005) chasing £35,000 in a bog and another classic example of racing shooting itself in the foot as a result of someone not thinking rationally.
Like us, the bookies' think RHT have killed the Lanzarote stone dead and, even though it is still staged live on Channel 4, you'll have to wait until this morning to get a price a?" and all this in an age where everything is, supposedly, being done to maximising betting promotion. What a joke!
And what a shame for punters and the sponsors, totesport, who had no control over the decision a?" in many ways, it would be better for the sport if the card fails to survive this morning's 7.30 inspection.
At least punters and totesport have been better looked after at Warwick where we can have an early bet in the totesport Classic Chase.
This race is all about who gets out of bed on the right side as Sir Rembrandt, Double Honour, Shardam, Control Man, Artic Jack and Granitd' Estruval are all capable of winning on their day a?" but doubly capable of running miles below form.
That means they must be overlooked while the highly respected Joaaci is too short at a general 9-4 a?" after all, if you missed the 12-1 Cheltenham wedding why do you want to go to a short-priced funeral!
Victory Gunner and Kittenkat are not good enough while Glen Warrior may still need this.
Crystal D'Ainay doesn't convince over fences so that leaves Dead-Eyed Dick, not classy enough, and the Paul Nicholls-trained EUROTREK who has overcome his problems. Take 3pts win at 6-1 with VCbet.

Liberals Misplaced Nostalgia Debunked in One Chart
Liberals understand economics about as much as Forrest Gump understands Quantum Physics. Well….. Forrest probably has a best grasp.
Check it out:
In a throwback to the economic policy and theory of the 1950s, President Obama in a recent speech blamed the rich for concentrating wealth and spending too little on consumption:
Concentrated wealth at the top is less likely to result in the kind of broadly based consumer spending that drives our economy.
The President apparently believes that consumer spending, rather than savings and investment, drives economic growth. But, as this chart shows, personal consumption is at a post-war high as a share of national expenditure. If consumer spending really did drive the economy, it would be booming.

The Saint in Europe (1954)
Author and creator of The Saint Leslie Charteris is a master of plot construction, so much so that it leads one to believe that he has discovered "the formula", from which plot structure may be produced with the mere turn of a handle. The Saint character is blended from elements of James Bond and Robin Hood. Unusually, he inhabits the line between establishment (James Bond) and outlawdom (Robin Hood). In the situations in which he finds himself he deals with evil-doers as would an establishment character, in the same manner as some one who holds our value-set. Yet even in the same minute he will commit felonies in order to fund his adventures, felonies committed almost exclusively upon the evil-doers. The Saint certainly lived as an outlaw jewel-thief, but this is in his past. The Saint has the manners, tastes and education of a man who was educated at the best schools, universities and was likely a member of an establishment family or the nobility. In The Saint in Europe the locations reflect all of these elements and the author is visible between the lines on many occasions.
"I can't stay here with my dress soaking," she said abruptly. "Take me home."
On the front of the Casino there were banners and posters proclaiming the regular weekly gala.
"Are you going?" asked Simon casually.
The bright defensive eyes switched to nun sidelong.
"Are you?"
"I hadn't thought about it." They walked a few steps; and then she said, sharply: "Would you come with me?"
Simon did not hesitate for an instant.
"I'd love to," he said easily; and she said nothing more until he left her at the Provencal. Before climbing into white shirt and tuxedo, the Saint packed a bag. He was travelling very light; but he still preferred not to leave his preparations for a getaway to the last minute. And he had decided that the getaway should take place that night. He did not want to delay it any longer. He was a little tired of Juan-les-Pins; and, even in that brief time, more than a little tired of the part he had to play.
It was late enough for him to have the road to himself, and no inquisitive eye observed the course he steered for the fire escape of the Provencal. With the calm dexterity of a seasoned Londoner boarding a passing bus, he edged the crook of his stick over the lowest platform and swung himself nimbly up. Then he flitted up the iron zigzag like a ghost on rubber-soled shoes. The lights were on behind the curtains of a room on the second floor, and a passionate declaration of eternal love wafted out into the balmy night as he went by. The Saint grinned faintly to himself and ascended to the third floor. The nearest window there was dark. He slid over the sill with no more noise than a ray of moonlight, and crossed as silently to the door. In another moment he was outside, the latch jammed back with a wedge of cardboard so that he could make his retreat by the same route, and the corridor stretching out before him like a broad highway to his Eldorado.

text: As an ordinary packaging box manufacturer, I have to pay great attention the new development of printing business, which is a really necessary thing to do, because I can make a conclusion about the latest development orientation, then I will come up with new ways to deal with the present situations. From what I have observed for a while, it seemed to me that Food Package Printing had gradually become popular, there were many things that could show this orientation. To begin with, I could see the food grade paper packaging was getting more and more professional, the traditional rough packaging had been replaced by carefully designed ones, which were obviously given much more attention than ever before, the paper packaging was becoming more colorful and more qualified. Then we could see the food box manufacturers had gone great trouble to make these boxes, with the help of packaging box printing, these packaging boxes were more solid and more classified. My company is just one of the many gift packaging manufacturers, who have done great job to improve the production of boxes, which were once only used for transportation, the practical function of the boxes were given much greater attention, but now the color box printing could make every box more dynamic and fun. As far as my company is concerned, we have been producing toy packaging box for quite a while, which has always been sold out so quickly, so we have professional designers to deal with the package stuff long time ago, so we have a little more advantage of gift packaging designs experience when comparing with other companies, for the ordinary food colour manufacturers, besides analyzing the market situation of the moment, they have to hire more packaging box designexperts to help with them. After looking into the market deeply, I know in my heart that paper food packaging and paper box print would be the most commonly used two kinds of printing modes, so I think my company should pay great attention to these two kinds of printing if we want to stand in the market. As regards to food packaging paper, we decide to listen the opinions of the public, which kind would they prefer? The more qualified one or the more elegant one or just practical one, for getting the exact answer, we have to go deep in the ordinary consumers' hearts, so we think of way to deal with this, we will arrange some of our employees to go to the street to ask advice of our clients, of course, for the people who give us valuable advice, we would compensate him or her with a little gift. This test had took a week to finish, we found out that people really paid great attention to food grade packaging material, safety is the first thing people would have thought, so they first asked if we could guarantee the safety of food packaging material, instead of the packaging color of the paper, so we decide to give more consideration to the safety of the material and then make adjustments to the package design. As for the paper gift box, our consumers share their opinions over the gift packing styles of boxes, for example, if the gift is for kids, the box package should be more fun and interesting, the animation picture would be considered first, but if the gift is for adults, may be more tasteful pictures and classified gift packaging design are highly recommended. I know being a great printing manufacturer, I should prepare more to face to the fierce market, no matter what will happen, I am sure there will be no regret in my heart.

The 2007 vintage is an excellent year that came together in the end to produce a sizeable crop of uniformly great wines throughout the state. The wines have plenty of depth and richness, ample acidity, and are focused and detailed. Many compare it to 2001 in style and it's a vintage to buy with confidence across the board.
A dry winter was followed by a warm, dry spring, bringing an early start to the ripening cycle. Fine weather prevailed through the moderate to coolish summer with notably few days of triple-digit temperatures, and even fewer-than-average days around 90°F. Chardonnay harvest began a bit early, as warm weather arrived in Napa in mid-August and lasted through early September before cooling significantly. Rain fell mid-month but with little impact, as many early ripeners were already in — Cabernets and Merlot weren't affected and had plenty of time to rebalance afterwards. Rain returned in the second week of October, but again with little impact. Warm, sunny conditions returned right after the rain, and harvest was concluded in excellent weather by the end of the month.
2007 produced a healthy crop of grapes that, as in so many great years, enjoyed a moderate growing season free of extremes. It is a big, ripe, full-bodied vintage that produced classic California Cabs and has buyers and sellers smiling — one to buy with confidence!
Rich mouthfeel with melon and mineral characteristics
Seafood, shellfish
Marsanne, the most widely planted white grape of the northern Rhone Valley, has a long history-- not in single varietal bottlings, but rather as a blending grape. In Hermitage, Marsanne is blended with Roussane to produce the white wine of the appellation; in our opinion, white Hermitage is one of the most overlooked great wines of the world. Incidentally, along with Roussane, up to 15% of Marsanne can be added to the red wines of Hermitage under AOC regulations. For a stellar example of white Hermitage, try Chave's Hermitage Blanc.
Apart from these origins in the Rhone, Marsanne plantings have expanded in Australia, so much that now 80% of the world's Marsanne is grown there. The grape was first planted in Australia in 1860, and while most of these original vines are gone, the wines in the vineyard of Chateau Tahbilk, in Victoria, are among the oldest in the world, dating to 1927.
A number of challenges in viticulture stand in the way of single varietal Marsanne exploding in popularity. The grape is highly sensitive to extreme temperatures: when the climate is too warm, Marsanne is short on acidity, limiting its ability to age well; when climate is too cool, the wines tend to be neutral and uninteresting. One strategy employed by winemakers is to harvest Marsanne just before it hits full ripeness, in order to retain some acidity.
When Marsanne is bottled on its own, expect a light straw colored wine that is rich in body, with hints of spice, melon and pear. Noteworthy new world producers of the grape include the aforementioned Chateau Tahbilk as well as Tablas Creek in Paso Robles, California. But, ultimately, for the best expression of this grape, even blended, stay in the northern Rhone.
Pair Marsanne and its related blends with shellfish and seafood.

What better place for a manufactured band to meet the public than a manufactured town. Milton Keynes, the town built in the Sixties to a grid plan yesterday came face to face with Hear'Say, which was also built to a grid plan.
What better place for a manufactured band to meet the public than a manufactured town. Milton Keynes, the town built in the Sixties to a grid plan yesterday came face to face with Hear'Say, which was also built to a grid plan.
Milton Keynes (though not actually a city) is bidding to be the European City of Culture. And it may even help their application to say they hosted the pop sensation of the year.
Nothing so vulgar as singing took place yesterday; but this group, which graduated from ITV's Popstars programme, has sung only one song live. Concerts are passé; and as Hear'Say are guaranteed to be number one this weekend with their first release Pure and Simple, they may realise that performing live is surplus to requirements.
But the fans don't seem to mind; fame is the spur to miss school; and getting an autograph from any of the five faces from the television was a sufficient spur to cause several thousand of Milton Keynes's schoolchildren to queue outside Woolworth's in the shopping district.
First in line, a mere six hours before the group's arrival, were Andrew Rattcliffe 12, and his brother, Peter, 11. Andrew, a wannabe pop star with his own karaoke kit, had a special reason for braving a six hour wait: an affinity with Noel. "Noel's birthday is four days after mine," he announced. Spooky huh?
Their mother Sandra, making sure they were comfortable before she went off to work, admitted: "They are missing school. I said they could have permission. And they have watched Popstars since the beginning." You can't argue with that; though maybe an Ofsted inspector would. But there would be a lot of kids to round up. By four when the band arrived, there were about seven thousand fans waiting.
One might have hoped that some of the unsuccessful Popstars might have had fans to come and shout abuse - narcissistic youths who liked mouthy Darius; supporters of fat Claire from the Milton Keynes weightwatchers club. At least when The Beatles dropped Pete Best as their drummer, George Harrison received a black eye from a fan of Best's. But these days no one queues to see a loser.
What was unusual about yesterday in the history of fans meeting pop groups was that the pop group seemed to be the more excited. As Hear'Say came down the escalator in Woolworth's to be greeted by their fans, the group spotted the merchandising dolls of themselves that went on sale for the first time yesterday.
As they saw the £14.99 miniature replicas they let out a communal "Wow, look at those!" Fans wore "Nigel, Pick Me" T-shirts, harking back to the television auditions by Nigel Lythgoe. The atmosphere was a mixture of mutual hysteria and mutual corporate pleasure and profit.
And if Hear'Say fancy making Milton Keynes the scene of their first gig, the town's council boasts an "events plateau" in the "public realm" - or a bandstand in the park, as we used to say in the days before Popstars met Milton Keynes.Reuse content

Hi Kee
April 2, 2011
|Track list
Rating :
from 5 (excellent) to 1 (poor)
|Vocals : 4
|Backing : 4/5
|Production : 4/5
|Sound quality : 5
|Sleeve : 4
Jamaican artist Hi Kee -- currently residing in Catania, Sicily (Italy) -- is a rather unknown name in the international reggae scene. He grew up in a small community called 'Pepper District' in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, and gained experience by building his own songs and DJ-ing on local sound systems like Tic Tac, Hi Grade CD Sound, Cosmic and Revelation Sound. His first song called "Pretty like Gold" was recorded in a studio in Mandeville/Manchester, Jamaica, in 2004, and although the tune received airplay throughout Jamaican radio stations it wasn't released on 7" vinyl due to due to lack of funds and knowledge.
However, Hi Kee continued to search for partners to produce his music and in doing so, he became educated about the Jamaican reggae industry. He has performed in lots of studios and countless stage shows all over the Island. In January 2009 he signed with LT International, an artist management company, and since working together, Hi Kee has recorded quite a few singles, most of them gathered on this debut album called "Self-Reliance". So it's obvious that a variety of production houses are on board including Finnish label Maasto Records, Bassrunner Productions and House of Riddim from Austria, Germany's Rootdown Music, New Zealand's Reality Chant Productions, The Scrucialists from Switzerland, and Westmoreland based Highlight Records.
The album kicks off with Hi Kee's first single, "Woman Of Virtue". The latter is a fine effort which he recorded for the a Finnish label Maasto Records. It's followed by his second single called "Goodness Gracious" on the "Kings Highway" riddim, released by New Zealand's Reality Chant Productions. But things really get started with "Higher Heights", a solid tune from the same production house, for which Hi Kee's utilizes a vocal style strongly reminiscent of Prezident Brown. He continues to do so for the next track, the standout "Give Jah Thanks And Praise", and the majority of the tracks to come. We don't have a problem with that as Prezident Brown has been one of our favourite artists since he emerged in the mid-90s.
"Kutchie Cup" is a nice ganja tune, which was released as a single by the Westmoreland based Highlight Records, but it is outmatched by the great "Pretty Like Gold", actually the first tune he ever recorded. The song is underpinned by a modern roots riddim with just the right amount of horns built by The Scucialists, and after Ginjah's killer "Unification" from 2005 on the riddim, it's a joy to hear Hi Kee delivering his insightful lyrics over this awesome backdrop. "Fire Blaze" is a roots winner across the mighty "Prison Break" riddim for Bassrunner Productions. Next drop two tunes, the decent "You Shouldn't Do It" and the above par "Better Love", in which Hi Kee asks for treating your woman nicely. "Self-Reliance", a lyrical statement for the independence of the individual and their daily struggle with all aspects of life, belongs to the standouts, and so does the wicked "Signs Of The Time". The infectious Ska-fueled "Stress Free" on Rootdown Records' "Kookoo" riddim rounds off Hi Kee's debut album in fine style.
So far we haven't mentioned the three combination tunes, but that doesn't imply that they should be ignored. On the contrary... In particular the collaborations with Michael Rose (the awesome "Catch Up The Fire") and then Luciano & Brigadier Jerry (the outstanding "Babylon Your System Collapse") are entertaining efforts and truly worth giving them a spin more than once. Also "Refugee" on the "Tek A Train" riddim, done in combination with Sophia Squire, is a well done collaboration, although it doesn't reach the heights of the other two pairings.
All in all this is a worthwhile debut from a new voice fresh out of Jamaica! Recommended to check him out.

The 30-year-old Wood has spent the past five seasons with the World Series champion Chicago Cubs, where he posted a 2.95 ERA while working exclusively out of the bullpen last year.
Jon Heyman from Today's Knuckleball at Fanrag.com indicated that the contract was a two-year, $12 million deal.
Wood appeared in 259 games for the Cubs over seven seasons, including 133 starts.
Just a week ago, Royals general manager Dayton Moore sat deep within Kauffman Stadium and admitted that he was probably finished building his starting rotation ahead of spring training.
In signing with the Royals, Wood joins a pair of former Cubs that were with the team for their World Series run.
"I wanted to try to get back to it and they're going to give me an opportunity to do that, so we're going to give it everything I've got", Wood said. In 7-years, Wood has a 4.00-ERA, 900-Innings, and a 1.272-WHIP. In a corresponding roster move, pitcher Brian Flynn has been placed on the 60-day disabled list with a stable lumbar vertebral fracture.
Wood, who just turned 30 this month, has spent the last five seasons with the Cubs after spending his first two Major League Baseball seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. As a reliever, he's fared better with an 8-2 record and 2.83 ERA.

Judicial Twatwaffle Outlaws Babysitters, Day Care Centers, Schools ...
If I haven't mentioned it before, I'll say it now, bigots are fucking morons. Exhibit #9826(W) comes to us by way of (surprise) Texas [via TWO]:
In a case causing rising controversy in the US, a judge has told a Texan man he cannot leave his children in the care of the man he married.
Inter-state tension continues as the marriage between William Flowers and Jim Evans fails to be properly recognised in the second-largest US state.
Flowers had been married to a woman previously and fathered three children with her before they divorced in 2004. At the time, it was agreed she would keep custody of the children.
Over six years on, in early 2011, Flowers married Jim Evans in Connecticut, and began proceedings to claim custody.
Evans didn't get custody, but that's not the problem [I disagree, but no matter. - ed]. The judge in the case has ruled that Evans can't leave the children with anyone "not related by blood or adoption," which specifically excludes his husband.
TPM provides more details:
Judge Charley E. Prine, Jr. "issued a ruling which included an injunction applicable only to William. It prohibits him from leaving his children alone with any male to whom the kids are not related by 'blood* or adoption,'"
But because bigots are fucking idiots, Prine forgot he was also creating a little thing called precedent. At a minimum it creates an opportunity to make divorce and custody proceedings 100% uglier. A former husband can argue that based on this ruling, mom can't leave the children alone with a new boyfriend. Ditto a new husband until he formally adopts the kids. A former wife can argue that it is discrimination to only apply the ruling to men, and by the way, tell my ex-husband he can't leave my kids alone with his girlfriend.
And why stop there? Once you argue that children shouldn't be left alone with non-relatives it's just a short step to arguing the kids should only be alone with relatives. My advice to parents in Texas: Hire a reputable genealogist and hope like hell you're at least the 10th cousin twice removed of your babysitter, day care provider, kid's teachers, football coaches ...
Or you could move to a state where fuckheads don't run the show.
*Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out Flowers and Evans were distant relatives?
